| mbrigdan | Hey, I'm trying to make sshd use a different directory for authorized_keys, but it won't change no matter what I do. Anyone know what could be going on? | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | /nick I_am_Old_Skool_leet :) | 00:00 |

| === Guest12947 is now known as sandkeydude | ||
| sandkeydude | :) | 00:01 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, so you want to use grub2 in the install in sdc2? | 00:01 |
| ejv | i find it hard to believe you could forget /nick :p | 00:01 |
| quellhorst | how could i upgrade ubuntu 8.04 that is running on some "turnkey linux"? | 00:01 |
| japan | how to delete folder with permissions | 00:02 |
| sandkeydude | It seems I'm becoming gifted at forgetting things I don't use as I get older! ;) | 00:02 |
| ejv | japan, sudo ? | 00:02 |
| japan | i dont know howwww | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | japan: clarify a bit more... sudo rmdir foodir is one way | 00:02 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2, 1st I want there to be a grub on sda that still points to sda1 so I can keep working from my CentOS system as I migrate away from it. | 00:02 |
| ejv | japan: sudo rmdir <directory> | 00:02 |
| quellhorst | when i do sudo do-release-upgrade ; i get: https://gist.github.com/3c2dff2e98a31b8224d3 | 00:02 |

| ansak-onepost | urlin2, 2 I want there to be a grub on sdc that points to sdc1 and runs ubuntu | 00:02 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2, for now... I am open to being told what The Right Way is. | 00:03 |

| japan | i tried rm -rf /opt/lampp but it doesnt work | 00:03 |
| mbrigdan | Hey, I'm trying to make sshd use a different directory for authorized_keys, but it won't change no matter what I do. Anyone know what could be going on? | 00:03 |
| ejv | japan: put a sudo in front of it | 00:03 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2, for now, I still have a bunch of gotta-do-this-now stuff on the CentOS partition that I mean to migrate away from. | 00:04 |
| japan | ok tnx very much | 00:04 |

| wilder | Anybody use playonlinux? I'm having trouble with an install | 00:04 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, you don't need a boot partition, as the script read grub is in the sdc mbr and points at that sdc1, can the sdc be moved to the first read in the bios. | 00:04 |
| ejv | wilder: does this look like #playonlinux ? | 00:04 |
| ejv | :p | 00:05 |
| wilder | It does not. | 00:05 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, sdc becoming first: yes, that's what I want to do eventually. | 00:05 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, actually what you're seeing in that pastebin is not the original results. | 00:05 |
| ejv | what is playonlinux wildbat ? | 00:05 |
| ejv | wilder* | 00:05 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, let me paste that one up, too and explain a bit more of what I've seen. | 00:05 |
| === david is now known as Guest95438 | ||
| zykotick9 | ejv, it's a frontend to wine | 00:06 |
| japan | i also installed php 5 mysql etc etc and i wanna delete it but i dont know where is it | 00:06 |
| ejv | did he leave, found a forums link for him | 00:06 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, pasted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/672018/ (or is it better etiquette to just say "672018"?) | 00:06 |
| ejv | ansak-onepost: full link is fine :p | 00:07 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u latest paste is how I found things; sda spins up, reads mbr, boots narwhal off of sdc | 00:07 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, so this is a accurate as is of it now? | 00:07 |
| ejv | japan: i'd use the package manager to remove any libraries/software you no longer want | 00:07 |
| ejv | japan: eg `apt-get remove <package>` | 00:07 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, 2nd pastebin is how it was, 1st pastebin is after i made one change which did not have the desired effect. | 00:08 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, we only want a script of what ity reads now, and any changes may need a new script run. | 00:08 |
| PythonSnake | Hello | 00:08 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, put the sdc in the first read in the bios, the first script shows if possibly booting. | 00:09 |
| urlin2u | if=it | 00:09 |
| drag0nz | zykotick9, thanks dude | 00:09 |
| drag0nz | for the info | 00:09 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/672007/ is how things are _now_ | 00:09 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, If I try to boot off of sdc (BIOS select boot device), I get a blank screen | 00:10 |
| Aple | Eh, fuck Sublime :) | 00:10 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, If I allow BIOS to boot off of default first device (sda), it boots narwhal off of sdc | 00:10 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, you don't need the boot partition sdc2 will boot as is. | 00:11 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, okay. but I want to be able to choose to boot from CentOS on sda OR narwhal on sdc. | 00:11 |
| === OZl is now known as ozior | ||
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, are you saying that what I should do is add more grub-goo to the /boot on sdc1 and then I could accomplish this from menu choices? | 00:12 |
| laserbled | Hi, any one using celestia here - need some help - I would like to know how can I set the recording resolution and codec in that | 00:13 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, hold on I will give you the commands in a pastebin ti be run from a live cd. | 00:13 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, most kind | 00:13 |
| mbrigdan | Hey, I'm trying to make sshd use a different directory for authorized_keys, but it won't change no matter what I do. Anyone know what could be going on? | 00:13 |
| tomodachi | mbrigdan: just curious why would you want that? | 00:14 |
| shygirl214 | I have a question | 00:14 |
| mbrigdan | tomodachi, the default doesn't work if your home directory is encrypted | 00:14 |
| ejv | mbrigdan: you changed the path in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarted the service? | 00:14 |
| Aple | Is there anyway to delete a dir and everything in it all at once? | 00:14 |
| shygirl214 | im trying to surprise my boyfriend and convert a bunch of wma to mp3 | 00:14 |
| mbrigdan | ejv, Yeah, and other changes I made (as a test) took effect. But it won't let me login unless I have my key in the default directory | 00:15 |
| EDinNY | trying to rip a CD to mp3...suggestions? | 00:15 |
| w30 | Aple, rm -R | 00:15 |
| EDinNY | ripperX does not encode...am I missing a lib? | 00:15 |
| Aple | w30: Thanks | 00:15 |
| ejv | EDinNY: banshee does it if im not mistaken | 00:16 |
| ejv | EDinNY: http://banshee.fm/support/guide/audio-cds/ | 00:16 |
| shygirl214 | any suggestions on converting wma to mp3 | 00:16 |
| w30 | Aple, *smile* man rm is your friend | 00:16 |
| spacebug- | EDinNY: cdparanoia | 00:16 |
| shygirl214 | they are scattered through out his music folder | 00:17 |
| Aple | Ah, so that's what man pages are | 00:17 |
| japan | xamp is in my download folder, when i try to sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz -C /opt it tell me that there is not such file or directory | 00:17 |
| Aple | Sweet :) | 00:17 |
| ejv | im sure amarok and rythmbox also support some form of 'ripping' | 00:17 |
| szal | spacebug-: to my knowledge cdparanoia only rips but doesn't encode | 00:17 |
| EDinNY | is cdparanoia from command line? | 00:17 |
| Aple | w40: I'm an Ubuntu newb in case you haven't noticed. *shows off his feathers* | 00:17 |
| w30 | Aple, if you don't want to answer all the questions then -Rf | 00:17 |
| spacebug- | szal: no well, that is a second stage | 00:17 |
| spacebug- | EDinNY: yes | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | man = manual :) | 00:18 |
| Aple | nonono, I gotcha | 00:18 |
| Aple | man pages = sweet. | 00:18 |
| EDinNY | is banshee from command line? | 00:18 |
| japan | where to put xampp to sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.5.5a.tar.gz -C /opt work ? | 00:18 |
| ejv | did shygirl leave already? | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | It pays to read docs and tutorials. :) - i used to have a Huge THICK book that was the man pages printed out. ages ago | 00:18 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, so sdc2 is Natty and you have a Natty cd correct? | 00:18 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, yes | 00:18 |
| rww | japan: xampp is not supported in this channel. Use Ubuntu's packages instead. | 00:19 |
| Quantum_Ion | I wish I code encode MP3 and WAVS to CD format and burn them too I don't know how to do that | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | japan: we really dont support xampp here.. theres the lamp stack in the repos. | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !xampp | japan | 00:19 |
| ubottu | japan: 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. | 00:19 |
| japan | this is no about xampp , xampp is just banal example | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Quantum_Ion: the k3b burner app - makes it rather trivial to make audio cds. once you install it and the right plugins. There prob. some gnome equiliv also. | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | japan: id just cd to where you want it to go.. and extract the archive | 00:20 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, and sda1 is /boot to sda2 which is LVM containing CentOS5 that I still need to use | 00:20 |
| japan | where file shoud be to install it in that way | 00:20 |
| japan | it says acess is dained | 00:20 |
| w30 | Dr_Willis, yeah, electronic data is fine but with a paper book you don't have to boot it up. | 00:20 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, notice the fdisk -l command to confirm that on the live cd the partitions are showing the same sdc2 or if different, adjust accordingly. http://paste.ubuntu.com/672028/ | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | cd /opt && unp /path/to/the/archive :) | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | w30: plus you can read it while sitting in the err... reading room every morning. :) | 00:21 |
| Quantum_Ion | Dr_Willis, Hmmm I have that installed and I have never used the application, might give it a try, thanks | 00:21 |
| ejv | if shygirl comes back, tell her to be more patient next time | 00:21 |
| Guest71158 | how to expand the harddisk space in ubuntu? i have zero space left? | 00:21 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, grub2 will rad CentOS, you need sdc2 as the bootpartition, not sdc1 | 00:21 |
| Guest71158 | i need to make the partition bigger | 00:21 |
| japan | this is the answer tnx dude, | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest71158: you can resize partiions with gparted. if you got other space to put in it.. | 00:21 |
| Quantum_Ion | ejv, Now you know the reason she is called shygirl | 00:21 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, ? s/rad/read/? | 00:21 |
| Guest71158 | so i have to download gparted ? | 00:21 |
| ejv | EDinNY: banshee is a gui app, do you need command line only? | 00:21 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, rad=read | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest71158: depends. you are resizeing your / partition? if so you may want to use a live cd.. or the gparted live cd. | 00:22 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, read the link carefully and follow as it is. | 00:22 |
| ejv | Quantum_Ion: indeed | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest71158: you do NOT resize a partition/fs thats in use. :) | 00:22 |
| Guest71158 | how do i boot thel ive cd | 00:22 |
| Guest71158 | i want to resize the partition of ubuntu | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest71158: put cd in.. power up... | 00:22 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, reading carefully... will print out and ponder. | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | gparted is on the default desktop live cd i think. | 00:22 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, thanks for the help; will come back if there are problems :) | 00:23 |
| Guest71158 | Dr_Willis it wment to the gnome login screen | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest71158: be bit more verbose in your statements.. the live cd autologs in - if it booted correctly. or did it just boot your normal install..... | 00:26 |
| Guest71158 | do i choose recvoery mode? | 00:26 |
| Guest71158 | it's GNU GRUB | 00:26 |
| Aple | What's a pretty/decent IDE for Ubuntu? | 00:29 |
| Aple | vim is a bit too ugly/obtrusive for my tastes | 00:29 |
| deeptrouble2 | :)) | 00:29 |
| deeptrouble2 | vim rocks ! | 00:30 |
| qin | Aple: gvim? | 00:30 |

| * Aple awaits his execution | 00:30 | |
| deeptrouble2 | :) | 00:30 |
| deeptrouble2 | eclipse then | 00:30 |
| Aple | :) I'd just like a decent little editor that looks decent and doesn't flip me out | 00:30 |
| deeptrouble2 | slow as hell but works | 00:30 |
| Desyncify | Hello, I accidentally removed my username from the panel up top, and it also removed the power button from top where I shutdown or restart, and my wifi icon, how do I get those back? | 00:30 |
| qin | Aple: kate | 00:31 |
| Aple | See, that's the other stipulation, Eclipse loads so slow, screw that | 00:31 |
| Aple | kate eh? | 00:31 |
| haha | Desyncify right click on panel | 00:31 |
| w30 | Aple, command editor that I use is pico or lately nano | 00:31 |
| Desyncify | I right clicked and went to add to panel, but don't see my wifi or anything like that | 00:32 |
| w30 | Aple, you can just apt-get install nano | 00:32 |
| deeptrouble2 | Aple: give vim a chance .. once u learn the commands no going back.. | 00:32 |
| deeptrouble2 | been that way for past 10 years... | 00:32 |

| w30 | thick coffee | 00:37 |
| haha | DEsyncify: go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and check if network manager is there.if it is try to reboot.... | 00:37 |
| jo-erlend_ | I spilled coffee on my keyboard, and now I can''t login anymore. How do I deactivate password login from an ssh session? | 00:37 |
| robbie | You take your laptop apart and clean that crap out. | 00:37 |
| deeptrouble2 | jo-erlend_: push ssh keys | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | jo-erlend_: you an edit the gdm configs to enable auto logging in.. but then what. :) | 00:37 |
| JoeR1 | I have never really used git before and I just used it to get a program that I cannot find and does not respond to a terminal command of its name, am I perhaps missing a step that is needed when using git? | 00:37 |
| jo-erlend_ | deeptrouble2, I'm talking about gdm. | 00:38 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: gdmsetup (sudo) | 00:38 |
| jo-erlend_ | Dr_Willis, then I can watch movies and such until I get a new keyboard. :) | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | /etc/gdm/gdm.conf* files | 00:38 |
| === Gredeu- is now known as Gredeu | ||
| robbie | I thought it was /etc/gdm/Init/Default? | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | or use ssh X forwarding to run the gdm config app and enale it there, :) | 00:39 |
| JoeR1 | Nevermind, I just figured it out | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | /etc/gdm$ cat custom.conf | 00:39 |

| robbie | Immediately downgraded back. | 00:40 |
| jo-erlend_ | Dr_Willis, using x-forwarding to do that, seems nice. But how do I do it? | 00:42 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: gdmsetup | 00:42 |
| === quiesense is now known as quiescens | ||
| jo-erlend_ | qin, I need to ssh in as a normal user and run gdmsetup as root. How? | 00:43 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: No, you will have "unlock" button | 00:43 |
| jo-erlend_ | I thought I could do ssh -x user@host sudo gdmsetup, but that doesn't work. | 00:43 |
| jo-erlend_ | oh. | 00:43 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: Your user need to be sudoer. | 00:43 |
| === nosa is now known as nosa-j | ||
| jo-erlend_ | qin, hmm. Then... Shouldn't it be ssh -x host gdmsetup? | 00:44 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: Lets stert over, do you have Xforwarding enabled, use -Y switch insead of -X and try "gedit" | 00:45 |
| jo-erlend_ | qin, I don't understand that message. | 00:46 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: ssh to your desktop, and run gedit | 00:46 |
| jo-erlend_ | you mean ssh -Y host? | 00:46 |
| Blue1 | qin: this might help: http://pkill-9.com/getting-x-windows-to-work-over-an-ssh-connection/ | 00:47 |
| jo-erlend_ | qin, I don't have ssh forwarding enabled, it seems. I need to use xhost or something then? | 00:47 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: Either -Y or -X (-Y is trusted, and is enabled on Ubuntu) | 00:47 |
| Aple | bleh, I'll give vim a chance once I learn Django | 00:47 |
| jo-erlend_ | I have't done this in many, many years. | 00:47 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: So edit file Dr_Willis gave you.] | 00:48 |
| jo-erlend_ | that file doesn't exist. | 00:48 |
| jo-erlend_ | but I'd like to enable ssh forwarding in any case. But since it isn't allowed, I need to make it allowed somehow. | 00:49 |

| jo-erlend_ | qin, ok, so tell me what I need to do? I've added that line. How do I proceed? | 00:55 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: On client: ForwardX11 yes ForwardX11Trusted yes | 00:55 |
| KM0201 | kavurt: i'm honestly not sure... | 00:55 |
| KM0201 | kavurt: can I PM you.?.. i might have a simple solution for you. | 00:55 |
| aadsdas8 | it's like fan is at full speed all the time | 00:55 |
| jo-erlend_ | qin, which file? | 00:55 |
| kavurt | KM0201: sure thanks | 00:55 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: Make sure that you do not have dupes in configs. Client /etc/ssh/ssh_config | 00:55 |
| MK`` | Whenever I create a drawer on gnome panel and put something into it, and then restart, the drawer no longer works. It doesn't expand or anything. I am using 11.04 with gnome 2, has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? | 00:55 |
| zykotick9 | kavurt, if you have the 32bit deb you can install it using "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture ADBOBE_BLAH.deb" | 00:56 |
| jo-erlend_ | qin, and those are two lines, yes? | 00:56 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: Yes | 00:56 |
| pedro | Caramba! | 00:56 |
| qin | and on server: sudo service ssh restart | 00:56 |
| kavurt | zykotick9: thanks, i'll try it | 00:56 |
| zykotick9 | kavurt, you need it ia32-libs for that to work BTW | 00:57 |
| zykotick9 | s/it/the/ | 00:57 |

| jo-erlend_ | qin, I'm still not allowed. | 00:58 |
| kingofswords | hi if i played a game with wine where would my gamesaves be? | 01:00 |
| aadsdas8 | why Ubuntu Natty doesnt support toshiba tools | 01:00 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: hm, cat you ssh -Y -vvv and run gedit? | 01:00 |
| meth3 | how do i get rid of this envelop icon in the systray ? | 01:00 |
| KM0201 | aadsdas8: i thnk the bigger questino, is why doesn't toshiba have toshiba tools for linux.. you're blaming the wrong party | 01:00 |
| pford | hey | 01:01 |
| dageriv | i just dicovered something awsome i want to share with you. if firefox wont install .xpi because incompatible; you can edit the max version in install.rdf, and it could work! i did this with moonlight | 01:01 |
| zykotick9 | kingofswords, depends on the game but check in the ~/.wine directory somewhere | 01:01 |
| pford | hy | 01:01 |
| pford | hey | 01:01 |
| jo-erlend_ | qin, no. I'm not allowed. /usr/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/jo-erlend/.Xauthority X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. | 01:01 |
| aadsdas8 | KM0201: I installed toshiba tools from repositorie.s. | 01:01 |
| kingofswords | zykotick9, yeh i know ...im having trouble locating 'my documents' in wine..thats where gamessaves are normally | 01:01 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: You do not have .Xauthority, do you? | 01:01 |
| aadsdas8 | KM0201: it doesnt work with this kernel | 01:02 |
| jo-erlend_ | qin, yes. It belongs to root. | 01:02 |
| zykotick9 | jo-erlend_, you could try "xhost +" to disable all security (as a test) | 01:02 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: In your ~ | 01:02 |
| KM0201 | aadsdas8: then that still isn't ubuntu's problem, toshiba needs to do a better job of making sure their package works w/ all kernels | 01:02 |
| aadsdas8 | hm i think it's a ubuntu problem | 01:02 |
| jo-erlend_ | zykotick9, cannot open display. | 01:02 |
| aadsdas8 | one more problem | 01:02 |
| ryan_46 | aadsdas8: reinstall or switch OS. ??? | 01:02 |
| aadsdas8 | yeah im gonna back to windows just because of fan | 01:03 |
| aadsdas8 | -- | 01:03 |
| jo-erlend_ | qin, yes, I have that file in my home and it belongs to root. | 01:03 |
| KM0201 | aadsdas8: actually, that would be pretty smart, a bad fan will brick a laptop very very quickly. | 01:03 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: ~/.Xauthority in not a root file, any way what permissions it has? | 01:04 |
| KM0201 | aadsdas8: did you configure toshiba tools? | 01:04 |
| jo-erlend_ | qin, but what would be much better, if it's possible, is if I can log in from the laptop using ssh and then run the applications on the servers monitor. | 01:04 |
| jo-erlend_ | qin, 700. | 01:04 |
| Aple | How can I share an external hard drive between Ubuntu machines on a Windows network? :) | 01:04 |
| aadsdas8 | KM0201: the fan is working correctly as seen in windows 7. it is not working correctly in ubuntu 11.04. conclusion: it's ubuntu fault | 01:04 |
| KM0201 | aadsdas8: i'm not gonna talk to someone who has drawn such a dense conclusion, but... ok. | 01:05 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: So you want vnc, for remote control. | 01:05 |
| aadsdas8 | KM0201: lack of arguments but ok | 01:05 |
| aadsdas8 | if you dont know how to help me just dont talk to me tks | 01:05 |
| KM0201 | aadsdas8: no, the argument is, you don't know how to read, did you read this little tidbit ont hat package... Note that these utilities work with APM features in the Toshiba BIOS. | 01:05 |
| KM0201 | If your laptop's BIOS only supports ACPI and not APM, then toshutils will | 01:05 |
| KM0201 | probably not work for you. Toshiba's newer models tend to support ACPI | 01:05 |
| KM0201 | only, and therefore toshutils will not work with them.Note that these utilities work with APM features in the Toshiba BIOS. | 01:05 |
| KM0201 | If your laptop's BIOS only supports ACPI and not APM, then toshutils will | 01:05 |

| scythefwd | urlin, where did you install it from and did the .deb's tell you there was something wrong with them, eg. using the wrong guid | 01:15 |
| qin | jo-erlend_: Hm, cannot find autologin option in gdm configs... is it 11.04? | 01:15 |
| urlin2u | scythefwd, mine is installed via a ppa I believe, as part of a multiboot usb | 01:16 |

| kingofswords | if i upgrade to 10.10 will i have to re-do all my compiz settings and cairo dock/ | 01:25 |
| urlin2u | kingofswords, plan on doing so. | 01:26 |
| kingofswords | urlin2u, im need xorg 1.8 so upgrade seems simplist way | 01:27 |
| kingofswords | does the upgrade take long/alot of dl? | 01:27 |
| eross | i installed ubuntu server 64 bit on virtual box, the dhcp works but when I set up as static, I can't ping my router or the internet.. in /etc/network/interfaces. networkmanager is not installed | 01:27 |
| scythefwd | urlin - I'm familiar enough with linux to truely break things (about as familiar with it as I am with spelling <- ) It was just a popup that asked me to ignore and install when I tried to install BUC. I'd hav eto remove burg-manager to re-install buc and it ain't worth my time | 01:27 |
| WallyJ2K | So when I try to active my VGA output to have its own resolution, the monitor prefs window says "requested position size for CRTC 80 is outside the allowed limit". Ideas? | 01:28 |
| urlin2u | kingofswords, upgrades have been known to break clone lucid first in case it does | 01:28 |
| kingofswords | urlin2u, i dont understand ...what is clone lucid? | 01:28 |
| ubuntu_sucks | ubuntu is destroying my hardware | 01:29 |
| scythefwd | eross - can you ping other systems on your subnet? I'd double check your IP settings before you start really messing with things | 01:29 |
| trevorjay | ubuntu_sucks: yep that makes sense. lol. | 01:29 |
| urlin2u | kingofswords, you can make a image=clone of Lucid, http://clonezilla.org/ | 01:29 |
| scythefwd | King - clone the vm that lucid .. whatever it is, lynx was it???, was installed on | 01:29 |
| ubuntu_sucks | trevorjay: it's overheating laptop | 01:30 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_sucks: if thats the case, it's kinda silly you're still using it.. | 01:30 |
| ubuntu_sucks | so it does make sense | 01:30 |
| trevorjay | Where do trolls find the time? jesus. | 01:30 |
| ubuntu_sucks | KM0201: well it means it sucks? | 01:30 |
| trevorjay | ubuntu_sucks: not ubus fault | 01:30 |
| kingofswords | urlin2u, isnt it easier to use update manager? im on 10.04 at moment | 01:30 |
| ubuntu_sucks | im not trolling im stating a fact | 01:30 |
| * KM0201 sighs... he'll never get it. | 01:30 | |
| Dr_Willis | You are being vague.. | 01:30 |
| trevorjay | ubuntu_sucks: set your system up correctly it wont happen | 01:30 |
| ubuntu_sucks | lol clean install | 01:30 |
| urlin2u | kingofswords, suggest a extra so if the upgrade fails you just slip back in the lucid, it's insurance. | 01:31 |
| urlin2u | I | 01:31 |
| ubuntu_sucks | bios settings are good too | 01:31 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_sucks: there's a lot of blame... but its not ubuntu's fault.. 1. the package doesn't support your system, it said so in the package description, 2. get upset w/ toshiba for not producing proper tools, 3. YOU should research laptops better, if you want to use linux on them. | 01:31 |
| === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm|ubuntu | ||

| KM0201 | ubuntu_sucks: i dont see who else's fault it could be.. .. | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Ubuntu works very well on my Toshiba X505 - but theres a great deal of varity in power saveing/features/settings that are or are not supported in linux by laptop makers. | 01:32 |
| trevorjay | ubuntu_sucks: look up your model and figure out what it needs | 01:32 |
| ubuntu_sucks | im looking | 01:32 |
| scythefwd | ubuntu_sucks - not special laptops, just those that conform to the publish standards. | 01:32 |
| urlin2u | kingofswords, you v=can make a complete copy of lucid to a external drive in packets, so if your upgrade fails you still have the original | 01:32 |
| th0r | scythefwd: and the cheap ones the script kiddies purchase | 01:32 |
| trevorjay | ubuntu_sucks: but first, stop trolling because your laptop is made incorrectly | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ive yet to figure out why hw makers always seem to change their standards. | 01:32 |
| kingofswords | urlin2u, ah so its a ghost image? | 01:33 |
| urlin2u | kingofswords, in MS words yes. | 01:33 |

| Jordan_U | ubuntu_sucks: This is your last warning. Please change your nick and keep your comments constructive. | 01:34 |

| kingofswords | urlin2u, you mean what partition? | 01:36 |
| urlin2u | kingofswords, you have a installed ubuntu right, should be at least 3.5 gigs | 01:36 |

| _deXter_ | Dr_Willis: I added that because I needed rw perms for the whole partition | 01:42 |

| leif | Whenever my Sony Vaio laptop is waken up from sleep, it acts as if it's a fresh boot up, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | _deXter_: not that ive ever seen.. | 01:43 |
| leif | (Namely to get it to sleep/resume properly) | 01:43 |
| _deXter_ | Thing is that is the /home partition for another distro I'm dual-booting so I don't want to change the perms | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | _deXter_: i always add my users in the same order. so they get the same uid. but for differnt disrtos that may not work. ie: redhat starts at a differnt # i think | 01:43 |
| kingofswords | how long does it take to update to next ver of ubuntu? | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | kingofswords: new release every 6 mo. | 01:44 |

| _deXter_ | Dr_Willis: Yep, that's the problem, the uid is different | 01:44 |
| kingofswords | Dr_Willis, no i mean if i use update manager to go from 10.4 to 10.10? | 01:44 |
| kingofswords | does it dl the whole 700megs and does it take long to install? | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | kingofswords: would depend on the speeds of your connection. its bsically downlading some 600+mb of data.. then working on the install.. | 01:45 |

| zelozelos | when i click on the main menu icon, and click logout< does anyone know the command it runs to bring up that logout dialog box to choose logout or switch users? | 02:10 |
| nsd_ | zelozelos: Are you trying to use an alternate WM? | 02:10 |
| zelozelos | nsd_, no just gnome, but i use cario dock instead of the panels, but for some reason the power icon cairo dock has wont logout, only pulls up the shutdown dialog, | 02:11 |
| nsd_ | zelozelos: Oh, okay. I don't think it's possible to get that dialog with a command unfortunately. In my case, I am using FVWM, so I wrote a script to emulate its behavior (but it's FVWM only) | 02:12 |
| zelozelos | nsd_, ah yeah, that wont work at all, you're prob right about the command i think the dialog is built into the applet, however i know one exists ive seen it b4 | 02:13 |
| html | urlin2u, whats that abuot? and how to get it | 02:13 |
| nsd_ | zelozelos: Well if there is one, I don't know it, sorry. Have you tried using apropos to find it (as opposed to google?) | 02:13 |

| rstreeter | I will give that a try thanks | 02:36 |
| infinitux | perhaps if you change the permission on the devices root folder(s) to match your user permissions you'll be able to automatically mount without a root password | 02:36 |

| rodhash | Hello all.. I want to upgrade a specific package (libdrm-intel1) but I'd like to backup the current version.. later perform the package upgrade... How can I backup this current package? | 02:43 |
| jolynn | zykotick9: k thanks dude | 02:43 |
| zykotick9 | rodhash, have a look in /var/cache/apt perhaps you will find the DEB there? | 02:44 |
| rodhash | zykotick9: No, there's no deb file there | 02:45 |
| zykotick9 | rodhash, sorry don't know then. | 02:45 |
| Afflicto | omg I think I found the solution. Someone said: "turn off compiz - set graphics effects to none." on a forum post... | 02:45 |
| rodhash | Afflicto: are you saying this to me? | 02:45 |
| fission6 | is there a ubuntu notify / growl system i can use | 02:46 |
| Tonytouch | ? is there an software available or service in ubuntu that can provide a link-layer topology discovery similar to windows | 02:46 |

| Afflicto | rodhas: no to myself lol :P | 02:46 |
| fission6 | is there a defacto ubuntu notificatoin s ystem? | 02:48 |
| wilder | Can you clarify your meaning? | 02:48 |
| fission6 | a growl / "pop up" notification system | 02:48 |
| Afflicto | Does anyone know how to completely disable all Compiz Effects? I need to disable it so VNC works. thanks. | 02:49 |
| Starminn | fission6: What do you want to be notified of that the default system does not do? | 02:49 |
| fission6 | a running python script, i need some means of "notification" of a background job | 02:49 |
| zykotick9 | Afflicto, Unity or Gnome? | 02:49 |
| wilder | fuck unity | 02:50 |
| wilder | Did I type that outloud? | 02:50 |
| scythefwd | afflicto - check out ccsm , it can be apt-get installed | 02:50 |
| eross | thanks again scythefwd | 02:50 |
| scythefwd | np | 02:50 |
| zykotick9 | Afflicto, if Gnome you can use alt+f2 then "metacity --replace" | 02:50 |
| fission6 | ok so no recommendations | 02:50 |

| Aple | Which is in /usr/share/vim/ ? | 03:11 |
| hylian | urlin2u, i see. i think i'll have to wait untill the repos catch up for this fix. thanks. | 03:11 |

| urlin2u | hylian, in the add to panel are usually a shutdown button as well, I would try that as well, hard to say really. | 03:12 |

| zykotick9 | jiohdi, bitchx is no longer support. i believe irssi is an alternative. | 03:20 |
| orificium | anyone aware of any quick fixes for no sound in flash in either firefox or chrome after but I get sound through rhythmbox, mythtv, etc. I've tried different versions of flash, the open source flash players, different versions of firefox - and I believe it happened after upgrading to mythbuntu 10.04 | 03:20 |
| jiohdi2 | zykotick9 thanks | 03:20 |
| orificium | I've tried various fixes mentioned in threads with no luck | 03:20 |

| nykur | rtl8192ce | 03:30 |
| Kage | zykotick9: yes | 03:30 |
| zykotick9 | Kage, so it's working then. | 03:30 |
| Kage | zykotick9: well, it has two joysticks on it | 03:31 |

| Kage | and some of the buttons respond the same | 03:31 |

| Kage | hylian: ok... | 03:32 |

| nykur | It will work for a short period of time, then slow down to a halt, even though it says it's connected | 03:32 |

| mayenife | urlin2u should i be good to go after that? | 03:34 |
| gr33n7007h | then reboot | 03:34 |
| Kage | hylian: maybe I have the wrong driver? | 03:34 |
| htmlinprogress | whats this mean, it is from usb creator (An uncaught exception was raised: | 03:35 |
| htmlinprogress | [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/media/6110-1EAB/casper') trying to use mabuntu 11.04,,,,,,, and yres i was bing friendly | 03:35 |
| urlin2u | mayenife, if yu found what you were missing, probably, gdebi is pretty good at the install. | 03:35 |
| hylian | Kage: is it possible it was made by dragonrise for steelseries? there's a lot of that kinda thing that goes on in the industry, i.e. dell monitors actually being sony's. | 03:35 |
| zykotick9 | gr33n7007h, if you're adding something to startup applications, you really only need to log out/back in. | 03:35 |
| mayenife | ok. I've installed | 03:35 |
| gr33n7007h | i told to reboot | 03:35 |
| hylian | htmlinprogress: let me take a quick look, brb | 03:35 |
| Kage | hylian: maybe, but I mean, is suppose to have motion feedback | 03:35 |
| zykotick9 | gr33n7007h, i know, and that isn't required | 03:35 |
| Kage | but I can't even figure out if that works | 03:36 |
| zykotick9 | Kage, i've never seen a joystick/joypad driver before in gnu/linux | 03:36 |
| mayenife | it just looks like its not working | 03:37 |
| htmlinprogress | hylian, ok | 03:37 |
| zykotick9 | htmlinprogress, if you don't get anywhere fixing USB Creator try Unetbootin instead | 03:37 |
| urlin2u | mayenife, I didn't find much about it on the web I would look for a forum on that device. | 03:37 |
| hylian | htmlinprogress: this error is sometimes caused by not being able to write to a folder. does the program you are using have permissions to write to the folder you are using? | 03:38 |
| mayenife | ok. Thank you very much for your help | 03:38 |
| === tum is now known as Guest71079 | ||
| hylian | Kage: so what you are trying to do is get the feedback to work, and nada? does the game you are playing have that option? (if it's fairly old it probably won't) | 03:39 |
| Kage | hylian: what gmae is there that can use a joystick, it doesn't seem to work in any of the games I've tried | 03:40 |
| zykotick9 | hylian, i haven't seen any feedback supported games/emulators in linux - i know i've seen the "experimental" option in the kernel mind you | 03:40 |
| htmlinprogress | hylain , im admin! so how could that be ? , and if i didnt then how do i get it fixed? | 03:40 |
| orificium | gr33n7007h: didn't help - daemon is definitely running | 03:40 |
| nykur | My wireless is like it fills up and gets clogged. | 03:41 |
| zykotick9 | Kage, be sure to try configuring the game to look at /dev/input/jsX they ususally default to the old /dev/jsX | 03:41 |
| hylian | Kage most of the games can, but don't have force feedback. it just means the gamepad won't buzz in your hand if you get shot, for instance. | 03:41 |

| wilder | so i should be able to cat it any time with any user? | 03:43 |
| zykotick9 | wilder, yes | 03:43 |
| zykotick9 | wilder, if you make it root only = system broken | 03:44 |
| wilder | bummer | 03:44 |
| htmlinprogress | hylain, im admin! so how could that be ? , and if i didnt then how do i get it fixed? | 03:44 |
| zykotick9 | htmlinprogress, if you don't get anywhere fixing USB Creator try Unetbootin instead | 03:45 |
| itilious | are any/all my files in "ubuntu one" available to the public? or only files in the public folder? | 03:45 |
| zykotick9 | itilious, there is an #ubuntuone channel that may be able to answer that better | 03:45 |
| hylian | htmlinprogress: you are, but not all programs and processes are, and some programs and processes need to be given permission in their group for programs to write out to a file in said folder. so if you are trying to write to /home/username/folder/ then it should be ok no matter what, but other folders are very pretected. | 03:46 |
| wilder | i guess i thought a jailed user shouldn't be able to read it | 03:46 |
| itilious | ty zykotick9 :) | 03:46 |
| bastidrazor | htmlinprogress: in a terminal use "gksudo usb-creator-gtk" to run it with admin permissions. | 03:46 |
| wilder | example on this server user is jailed to home/user/ but i can cat ../../bin/passwd anyway | 03:46 |
| zykotick9 | wilder, "jailed" what are you using FreeBSD? do you mean chrooted? | 03:47 |
| htmlinprogress | hylian, ok | 03:47 |
| hylian | htmlinprogress: what program are you using that gives you this error? | 03:47 |
| zykotick9 | hylian, USB Creator | 03:47 |
| hylian | zykotick9: thanks | 03:48 |
| wilder | its a jail ssh user | 03:48 |
| wilder | that can do what I am asking about | 03:48 |
| htmlinprogress | hylian, usb creator | 03:48 |

| mayenife | i want to make multiple tabs with different names | 03:54 |
| zykotick9 | mayenife, then why does it say "WikidPad - wiki notebook for windows" | 03:54 |
| mayenife | i got the ubuntu version | 03:55 |
| hylian | zykotick9: it's available here: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/307647 | 03:55 |

| zykotick9 | hylian, thanks | 03:56 |

| Kage | hylian: and the right joy, to the 1-4 buttons | 03:56 |
| mayenife | thanks urlin2u | 03:57 |
| mayenife | im thinking it might be a bug because all the tabs are the same | 03:57 |

| Kage | hylian: but it seems there are a lot Linux games that joystick support is broken | 03:58 |
| urlin2u | mayenife, why not eh. | 03:58 |
| Kage | hylian: comes with open source, I guess | 03:58 |
| htmlinprogress | hylian, usb flash drive itself had premissions from windows so i had to reset them , ( hate vista ) | 03:59 |
| mayenife | i wanted to create different tabs: like note name 1, note name 2, etc. | 03:59 |
| nykur | Anyone here know how to make wireless less buggy? using the rtl8192ce module | 03:59 |
| Kage | hylian: expect that many of those project developers don't have joysticks so they endup breaking it without knowing | 03:59 |
| Kage | or a way to test | 03:59 |

| zykotick9 | Singham, VBox is open source, VMWare is not. | 04:24 |
| zykotick9 | Singham, KVM is faster CPU wise anyways then either | 04:25 |

| zykotick9 | Gredeu, doesn't look like its closed source http://www.virtualbox.org/ - not saying that it couldn't be | 04:27 |
| zykotick9 | Singham, i'd recommend you use VBox over KVM, it's easier and has 3d support | 04:27 |
| Gredeu | its not the virtualbox available in the repo there are significant differences | 04:27 |
| hylian | nykur: ok, i managed to dig up that there is a new driver for that card, and this is a problem with the 11.04, and i think the 10's. here's the link to where i got my info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1814675 | 04:27 |

| lion42 | Guest3115, this is, if you have not yet noticed, a channel about #ubuntu. We generally sort of maybe like ubuntu, and most of us think its pretty good for new users. | 05:45 |
| e_t_ | Guest3115: I started with Kubuntu, but I've heard good things about Mint too, though I've never used it myself. | 05:45 |
| bullgard4_ | Guest3115: I believe that Mint is graphically appealing for freshmen. But you will get more help using Ubuntu. | 05:45 |
| === puffin is now known as PuffBot | ||
| bullgard4_ | sunit: 'man ssh' will probably tell you why. | 05:47 |
| Guest3115 | e_t_, bullgard4_ Thanks nice guys :) | 05:47 |
| tntc | Guest3115: Personally, I've used Gentoo, Debian, RedHat, OpenSuSE, etc. etc., | 05:47 |
| tntc | Guest3115: Ubuntu (stock ubuntu) seems to have the best support for general desktop usage. | 05:48 |
| Guest3115 | I have heard OpenSuSE is extremely hard... i overheard that its the hardest Linux out there | 05:48 |
| tntc | Guest3115: That's not entirely correct. There is a lot of oneclick stuff that makes life in opensuse easier | 05:48 |
| === head_victim is now known as Guest97921 | ||
| tntc | Guest3115: I would say gentoo is probably the most challenging to install (other than Linux from Scratch) | 05:49 |
| Guest3115 | tntc, your suggestion is to start with Linux gentoo ? | 05:50 |
| lion42 | ... | 05:50 |
| tntc | Guest3115: no, I would start with Ubuntu, and install gentoo in a VM. | 05:50 |
| lion42 | not unless you have three days, very patient friends, and a strong desire to inflict pain upon yourself. | 05:50 |
| bambanx | how can i use ls commando on console for this show me all files to begin with specific letter? | 05:50 |
| lion42 | Masochism is absolutely essential. You -cannot- skip that step. | 05:51 |
| tntc | Gentoo gives an important understanding of how the kernel and such works, but it is terrible for day-to-day use. | 05:51 |
| === PuffBot is now known as puffin | ||
| bambanx | for example ls sort me all files wich begin with letter A ? | 05:51 |
| tntc | bambanx: ls a* ? | 05:52 |
| Guest3115 | tntc, got it:) thanks Sr for explanation, ok ill do so... ill remove backtrack now and install gemtoo and ubuntu ) | 05:52 |
| bullgard4_ | bambanx: "All"? Then you better use the find command. | 05:52 |
| tntc | Guest3115: I'd install Ubuntu, and then install Virtualbox | 05:53 |
| lion42 | Guest3115, -just- install ubuntu for now | 05:53 |
| lion42 | and -then- worry about exploring other os | 05:53 |
| tntc | Guest3115: Virtualbox will let you test a variety of linux distributions in a safe, contained way | 05:53 |
| Guest3115 | tntc, I think in my case it would be better not using VB... because im running TB HDD and have no luck of space, would't this be better ? | 05:54 |
| ubuntu_ | what kind of people have virtual box | 05:54 |
| Guest3115 | lion42, Thanks so i don't need this so-called "Linux Mint" im pretty new i have no idea which works how... | 05:54 |
| lion42 | Guest3115, you are a noob. partitioning manually = things can go wrong. Hard os = things can go wrong. | 05:54 |
| tntc | Guest3115: dual booting is kind of a pain. It requires a lot more work | 05:54 |
| lion42 | Start with -just- ubuntu and go from there. | 05:55 |
| bambanx | for example ls show me all directories wich begin with letter D ? | 05:55 |
| ubuntu_ | there are no similations | 05:55 |
| duineANaithnid | hey everyone, is there anyone who can help me out with some indicator applet questions? | 05:55 |
| tntc | bambanx: find -name "D*" | 05:56 |
| bullgard4_ | !prefix | bambanx | 05:56 |
| ubottu | bambanx: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 05:56 |
| tntc | bambanx: though that will show files too | 05:56 |
| ubuntu_ | ) | 05:56 |
| bambanx | tntc the find command look for on all my pc on the actual directorie of console? | 05:57 |
| bambanx | tntc sorry for my english is bad =) | 05:57 |
| Guest3115 | tntc, lion42 got it guys:) thanks... sounds like im going to install ubuntu for now, as i done ill be back for some basic questions, thanks guys for support and your time | 05:57 |
| edbian | Guest3115: Linux is awesome! | 05:58 |
| Guest3115 | edbian, for those who handle it well, for sure it is... | 05:58 |
| tntc | bambanx: it looks in the directory you tell it. find / -name "D*" will get all files starting with D | 05:58 |
| tntc | Guest3115: Good luck :) | 05:58 |
| Guest3115 | :) | 05:58 |
| tntc | bambanx: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find has some decent examples. | 05:59 |
| bambanx | tntc thanks and what can i do if i need a list of directories wich begin with specific letter ? | 05:59 |

| GypsiRae | okay, well I recently edited an xcf file, cropped it, saved over and gimp quit. I thought I only changed one file but the jpg that originally came from the xcf file ended up cropped as well even tho its thumbnail is the full version. I want an uncropped version because i spent four days on it! is there any way I can restore the xcf file or jpg?? esp since the jpg's thumbnail knows what it really looks like? | 06:06 |
| sunit | bullgard4_ : please see http://pastebin.com/a7By0tNR where can get auth.log | 06:07 |
| ubuntu_ | save tin other format and kepp current cuality | 06:08 |
| wildbat | GypsiRae: highly unlikely , thou you can try with photorec. | 06:08 |
| GypsiRae | why would both files have changed, tho, if I only saved it once?? | 06:09 |
| ubuntu_ | its only a sugestion | 06:09 |
| GypsiRae | I am running scalpel atm, will try photorec next | 06:09 |
| === Guest97921 is now known as head_victim | ||
| GypsiRae | query: the thumbnail refuses to show cropped version, despite restart and refreshes. does that mean the uncropped version exists somewhere?? | 06:10 |
| wildbat | GypsiRae: may be when you close it, it ask you to save and you clicked it | 06:10 |
| GypsiRae | that doesn't explain the obstinate thumbnail tho eh? | 06:11 |
| bullgard4_ | sunit: Here is the culprit: "# Aug 22 11:12:00 starlite-laptop sshd[6045]: error: @@@; Aug 22 11:12:00 starlite-laptop sshd[6045]: error: Permissions 0777 for '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key' are too open. # Aug 22 11:12:00 starlite-laptop sshd[6045]: error: It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others. # Aug 22 11:12:00 starlite-laptop sshd[6045]: error: This... | 06:12 |

| e_t_ | GummyBear: You may want to look up how to turn a string into an array. Then you can return the values you want from the array. | 06:55 |
| gry | GummyBear: good question | 06:56 |
| GummyBear | e_t_: is there any fast method with AWK?? | 06:57 |
| whoppergator | GummyBear: echo "string123" | grep -o '[0-9]*' | 06:57 |
| * Guest95783 is a pink bunny | 06:58 | |

| GummyBear | whoppergator: no, I've no oputput | 06:59 |
| sunit | bullgard4_: what shall I do ? | 07:00 |
| whoppergator | GummyBear: what did you type in exactly? | 07:00 |
| GummyBear | I'm trying with AWK but is printing all the entire line... DEVICE=`echo $STRING | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "/" } ; /[0-9]*/ { print $4 }'` | 07:00 |
| GypsiRae | OMG photorec is getting corrupted versions of my gimp file!! that means I'm only two days of work behind instead of four | 07:01 |
| GummyBear | whoppergator: I need only the numeric part of a string... where string is string123 I need only '123' as output... | 07:01 |
| bullgard4_ | sunit: Give less access rights to that file. | 07:01 |
| Abc1 | hi..how can I disable screec lock password ? | 07:02 |
| whoppergator | GummyBear: don't use ``, use $(), so try DEVICE=$(echo $STRING | grep -o '[0-9]*') | 07:02 |
| GummyBear | whoppergator: one guy suggested me to treat the string as an array... is a cool solution, but I don't know if with AWK is there any 'only one line' solution | 07:02 |

| Guest95783 | hi , i want my machine boots faster , how can i achieve that ? | 07:03 |
| whoppergator | GummyBear: I've tested both suggestions that I've sent to you and both work. What results are you getting? | 07:04 |
| Guest95783 | and my sys is 11.04 | 07:04 |
| ttmrichter|work | Is there any way in which I can tell udev to forget an old piece of hardware?

| ttmrichter|work | Current system is 10.04.3 | 07:04 |
| Mortah | hello. I'm hoping someone can point me to the right words to google. Just installed 11.04. 10.10 was fine but the upgrade broke :D Now, whenever I open a menu for the first time all my windows disappear for about a second and then reappear. But, it only happens on a menu that hasn't been opened before.. :S | 07:04 |
| GummyBear | whoppergator: ok, I'm using your solution... it did it... I was making a pipe after my AWK script but nothing else was happen, now using the grep expression alone with the AWK result is working | 07:05 |
| Guest95783 | Wow | 07:05 |
| GummyBear | whoppergator: thanks a lot friend :D | 07:05 |
| Mortah | Guest95783: get an SSD. By far the best investment you can make for speed :) | 07:05 |
| whoppergator | GummyBear: you shouldn't need awk at all, but if you have something that works, then i am content :) | 07:05 |
| valthyx | hello, just upgraded my ubuntu, to ubuntu 11.04. It looks totally different. The startup menu is not there anymore, which is difficult for me to find applications as i have categorised them in the startup menu. Any solutions to bring back the old interface? | 07:05 |
| Guest95783 | Mortah: what is SSD | 07:06 |
| Mortah | valthyx: on the login screen after selecting your username there are some options at the bottom | 07:06 |
| Mortah | probably says "unity" atm | 07:06 |
| Mortah | change it to ubuntu classic :) | 07:06 |
| GummyBear | whoppergator: oh, ok, I found why it was not working, I had a bad sintax... now is right: DEVICE=`echo $STRING | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "/" } ; /[0-9]*/ { print $4 }' | grep -o '[0-9]*'` | 07:06 |
| Mortah | solid state drive, type of hard drive | 07:06 |
| bullgard4_ | Abc1: Probably System > Administration > Login Screen > Unlock > Screensaver > De-assert "Lock screen when screen saver is active". | 07:07 |
| urlin2u | valthyx, at the login window choose your user name look at the bottom panel and choose the classic desktop | 07:07 |
| valthyx | Mortah, thank you, maybe i again know where is the menu.lst for boot sequence? | 07:07 |
| Mortah | no idea | 07:07 |

| valthyx | urlin2u, thank you. Do you know where the grub menu.lst is located? i tried to find in boot folber, but couldnt find | 07:08 |
| whoppergator | GummyBear: i don't fully understand what the awk is doing in the middle, but if it works you should go with it :) | 07:08 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx: hi , what your problem | 07:08 |
| Guest95783 | Mortah: thanks anyway | 07:09 |
| valthyx | i would like to chenge the boot menu order | 07:09 |
| valthyx | *change | 07:09 |
| whoppergator | ttmrichter|work: you can control udev, and its exclusion rules through the /etc/udev/rules.d/ local configuration folder | 07:09 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx: do you know grub | 07:09 |
| GummyBear | whoppergator: the awk script is need as I need only the part at $4, basically the fifth column... avoiding the AWK script makes the entire line is parsed by grep and returning all the other numeric values (of course, I only need those at the fifth column) | 07:09 |
| valthyx | Guest95783, yes, | 07:10 |
| valthyx | Guest95783, is it grub.cfg? | 07:10 |
| GummyBear | whoppergator: c/is need/is needed | 07:10 |
| Guest95783 | valthy: there is a way to edit the grup config file | 07:10 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, you can do that | 07:10 |
| whoppergator | GummyBear: oO! yeah that's good then. you might also check out 'cut' which is handy for delimeter splitting | 07:11 |
| overclucker | valthyx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 07:11 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, do you using the ubuntu 10.04 | 07:11 |
| ruby_on_tails | where can i find the configuration editor on ubuntu ? | 07:12 |
| whoppergator | valthyx: /etc/default/grub | 07:12 |
| ruby_on_tails | GUI Configuration Editor | 07:12 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, right , checkout the overclucker send to you | 07:12 |
| valthyx | Guest95783, ubuntu 11.04 | 07:12 |
| whoppergator | ruby_on_tails: configuration editor for what? for gnome, there is gconf-editor | 07:12 |
| ttmrichter|work | whoppergator: Is there any way to get udev to not just tack on to the end of 70-persistent-net-rules? | 07:13 |
| valthyx | whoppergator, thank you | 07:13 |
| ttmrichter|work | The problem is that instead of wiping out the file and rebuilding based on existing hardware it just tacks on an extra record. | 07:13 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, yeah , ok , could you tell me what you want to do again , i was forgetable | 07:13 |
| ttmrichter|work | Every time the MAC changes. | 07:13 |
| xeux | question - anyway to strip the GUI out of ubuntu desktop? | 07:13 |
| xeux | sort of like - convert it to ubuntu server | 07:14 |
| valthyx | Guest95783, i have runnign on a dual boot machine. windows and linux, so i would like to change their positions | 07:14 |
| melvincv_ | perhaps remove the package ubuntu-desktop ? | 07:14 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, you want to change the order in grub , and you want to login win first, right? | 07:15 |
| whoppergator | xeux: of course you may remove all gui packages from a desktop install. then you could switch the sources to the server sources and you would be running ubuntu server after an update. it might be easier though just to start from scratch with a server install | 07:15 |
| melvincv_ | But it's better to install Ubuntu Server than just strip the GUI... | 07:15 |
| overclucker | valthyx: read the section on configuring grub 2 in the link i gave you. | 07:15 |
| melvincv_ | The kernel is different | 07:15 |
| valthyx | okay | 07:15 |
| sunit | bullgard4_ : 550 ? | 07:15 |
| valthyx | Guest95783, yes | 07:15 |
| xeux | thanks whopper | 07:15 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, there is a easy way , download a software in ubuntu , it is small! | 07:16 |
| whoppergator | ttmrichter|work: i'm not sure i understand what you are trying to do. are you trying to exclude a specific piece of hardware? | 07:16 |
| Atharva | Hey !! can anyone tell me that what's the diffrence between virtual box free edition and paid edition ? | 07:16 |
| ttmrichter|work | whoppergator: I'm trying to exclude a device that no longer exists. | 07:16 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, it is "startup manager" | 07:17 |
| ttmrichter|work | I've changed the MAC in my virtual machine. | 07:17 |
| melvincv_ | The free edition does not have USB 2.0 support. | 07:17 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, in the ubuntu software | 07:17 |
| ttmrichter|work | udev is seeing this as new hardware (correctly) but not noticing that the old hardware is no longer there. | 07:17 |
| ttmrichter|work | So my "old" hardware (the old MAC) is still set up as eth0, despite there being no backing hardware. | 07:17 |
| valthyx | Guest95783, ok, thank you | 07:17 |
| GummyBear | whoppergator: ok... I'll do... thanks a lot again :) | 07:18 |
| ttmrichter|work | And my "new" hardware is being named to eth1, which is causing problems. | 07:18 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, my pleasure | 07:18 |
| Atharva | <melvincv_> : Does it also have more powerful motherboard settings ? | 07:18 |
| Mortah | ok... looks like gnome is broken for me | 07:19 |
| Mortah | KDE runs with no flicker :D | 07:19 |
| valthyx | by the way, is there any way to delete the linux version that i am not using? | 07:19 |
| * Guest95783 is a pink bunny | 07:19 | |
| Guest95783 | yes | 07:20 |
| valthyx | for example, in the grup menu, i have a newer version and an older version, i would like to delete the newer version from my computer, how do i do that? | 07:20 |
| whoppergator | ttmrichter|work: i'm not sure why eth1 is causing problems, but something is definitely not right if it shows eth0 and there is no device | 07:20 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, wait a sec , let me check my 11.04 | 07:20 |
| valthyx | Guest95783, okay | 07:21 |
| whoppergator | valthyx: yes, you can purge the older kernel, then run update-grub | 07:21 |
| valthyx | whoppergator, how do i purge it? | 07:22 |
| valthyx | i am sorry, i am still new to linux | 07:22 |
| === tfilipczuk is now known as makak | ||
| bullgard4_ | sunit: 550 is probably too restrictive. But I do not know the best value. I myself would probably start with 550. If it does not work, I would gradually allow more access rights. | 07:23 |
| ttmrichter|work | whoppergator: eth1 is a problem because there's nothing in /etc/network/interfaces for eth1 (or eth2 if this gets further cloned and so on). | 07:23 |
| whoppergator | valthyx: np at all. if you are new, you should consider keeping the old kernel for backup/emergency cases | 07:23 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, to remove the new kernel from grub list , you should do | 07:23 |
| ttmrichter|work | So when the new guest OS is launched, it has no network active. I have to go in and hand-edit files to make it work, which kind of resists automation. | 07:24 |
| valthyx | whoppergator, actually i want to remove the newer kernel, some of my devices do not work | 07:24 |
| [deXter] | Hi all, xsane takes a long time to search for my network scanner. Is there a way I can force it to look at a specific IP? (the scanner has a static IP) | 07:25 |
| Guest95783 | valthyx, you should just edit the grub.cfg | 07:25 |
| whoppergator | valthyx: take a look at uname -a for your current kernel version, then do an apt-cache search linux-image to see your options. then you can apt-cache purge the newest and run update-grub | 07:25 |
| whoppergator | valthyx: sorry, that's 'apt-get purge' at the end there | 07:26 |
| valthyx | whoppergator, thanks alot. | 07:27 |
| ttmrichter|work | nexian | 07:27 |
| Guest95783 | hi , i want my my computer boot faster , is there any way to make it ? | 07:27 |
| ttmrichter|work | D'oh! Sorry, braino there. | 07:28 |
| lizbeth | I am having problems starting the desktop environment in ubuntu 11.04. I think its because of ati driver. | 07:29 |
| lizbeth | Does someone know how to fix that? | 07:29 |
| bullgard4_ | Guest95783: Use a newer Ubuntu distribution. | 07:30 |
| Guest95783 | bullgard4, mine 11.04 | 07:30 |
| Guest95783 | bullgard4, i means: to forbidden sth to let the os boots faster | 07:31 |
| kapilkaisare | Greetings all. I am trying to edit the /etc/hosts file of my 11.04 installation to use a few hosts via a VPN I intend to use. Trouble is, whenever I restart the system, the /etc/hosts file returns to its original state. Does anyone have an idea why it might be happening? I tried using auditd to watch the file, and I get a possible write by a check-new-release - most likely a python script. | 07:31 |
| whoppergator | Guest95783: what are you finding to be slow? how many seconds does it take currently? | 07:31 |
| MoFlux88 | :D | 07:31 |
| bullgard4_ | Guest95783: My Ubuntu 11.10 boots even faster than Ubuntu 11.04. But I can not recommend it to you using it before October or November, 2011. | 07:31 |
| Guest95783 | whoppergator, about 39 secs | 07:31 |
| [deXter] | Guest95783: Take a look at startup applications and you'll find several things you can uncheck, like the bluetooth stuff. Also, depends on your partition layout.. if you can put your / right a the top of the drive (after /boot, ofc) it'll be better | 07:32 |
| Guest95783 | bullgard4, Wow , you are using 11.10 | 07:32 |
| bullgard4_ | Guest95783: Yes. | 07:32 |
| Guest95783 | fantastica | 07:32 |
| lizbeth | I am having problems starting the desktop environment in ubuntu 11.04. | 07:33 |
| lizbeth | Does someone know how to fix that? | 07:33 |
| bullgard4_ | Guest95783: If you do not use the X Server, your computer will boot much faster. | 07:33 |
| whoppergator | !patience | lizbeth | 07:33 |
| ubottu | lizbeth: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 07:33 |
| Guest95783 | deXter, yeah you right , i | 07:33 |
| Guest95783 | have done that | 07:33 |
| bullgard4_ | lizbeth: Please analyze your dmesg log. | 07:34 |
| Guest95783 | bullgard4, ok , i have forbidden that . | 07:35 |
| lizbeth | bullgard4, how? | 07:35 |
| whoppergator | ttmrichter|work: sorry i'm not more help with your issue, it doesn't sound like a configuration issue to me, but something old thing still hanging around from before. maybe you could purge and reinstall, but i don't know if that's safe for udev on a running system | 07:35 |
| bullgard4_ | lizbeth: By reading this text and understanding the messages about desktop environment. | 07:36 |
| ttmrichter|work | whoppergator: purge and reinstall what? | 07:36 |
| whoppergator | lizbeth: dmesg | less | 07:36 |
| whoppergator | ttmrichter|work: udev? i'm just shooting in the dark here. if there was some way to completely rebuild the intial networking settings, i would say go for it | 07:37 |
| goer | Are ther any animated .png (?) icons I can use on the Gnome Panel for my Luckybackup | 07:38 |
| lizbeth | bullgard4, whoppergator I am reading it but can't see anything interesting. | 07:38 |
| almagest | Hello. During some group management, i accidentaly did a usermod -g instead of a usermod -G (replace instead of add). Now im unable to 'use' sudo. Can anyone assist me please? Id be very grateful | 07:38 |
| ttmrichter|work | whoppergator: This is still not a solution for automating the process of creating test servers. I can't purge and reinstall udev without putting in a manual step to do so. | 07:38 |
| ttmrichter|work | I need to be able to clone a VM with new MAC addresses and actually have Ubuntu *WORK*. Currently this isn't happening. :( | 07:39 |
| jpds | ttmrichter|work: Have you deleted 70-persistent-net.rules ? | 07:40 |
| ttmrichter|work | jpds: Yes. | 07:40 |
| ttmrichter|work | And edited it and ... | 07:40 |
| overclucker | kapilkaisare: i'm not sure that it is still true, but i remember having a problem where NetworkManager would make alterations to /etc/hosts on boot. In my case, simply changing the file to immutable solved the issue. sudo chattr +i /etc/hosts. chattr -i to make it mutable again. | 07:40 |
| dttah | hey guys i have a question, exactly what filesystem type should be a partition(fat...ext4... etc) for Data file purposes ? my filesystem partition is ext4 | 07:40 |
| ttmrichter|work | When I clone the VM, however, there's obviously a 70-*.rules. | 07:41 |
| ttmrichter|work | And that's when the problem happens. | 07:41 |
| whoppergator | kapilkaisare: what edits are you making. network-manager controls some of those settings | 07:41 |
| ttmrichter|work | Udev is just not smart enough to figure out that the eth0 hardware no longer exists and instead tacks on a new entry. | 07:41 |
| almagest | to be able to use sudo, which group do i have to be part in, admin? can anyone running ubuntu please do a groups <username> to check? | 07:42 |
| dttah | hey guys i have a question, exactly what filesystem type should be a partition(fat...ext4... etc) for Data file purposes ? my filesystem partition is ext4 | 07:42 |
| overclucker | almagest: admin is the default ubuntu sudo group | 07:42 |
| ttmrichter|work | dttah: What kind of data and what use case scenario? | 07:42 |
| whoppergator | ttmrichter|work: is there anything you can do with udevadm? | 07:42 |
| kapilkaisare | overclucker, That looks like it might just work! Danke! | 07:43 |
| lizbeth | I am having problems starting the desktop environment in ubuntu 11.04. XFCE loads when I start recovery session as root but doesn't load when I try to start it as a regular user. | 07:43 |
| jasonmsp | hey all. Anyone have a good link that explains how to share my internet connection (source is ethernet) by creating a wireless network within ubuntu 11.04? | 07:43 |
| kapilkaisare | whoppergator, I was adding a few IP->Hostname maps in there. I suspect the network-manager might be behind the overwriting. | 07:43 |
| whoppergator | kapilkaisare: yup that probably the case. network-manager wants to be the boss, so you could make the mappings in its configuration, or just turn it off | 07:44 |
| kapilkaisare | whoppergator, Is it possible to make such changes via the network-manager itself. | 07:44 |
| kapilkaisare | ? | 07:45 |
| dttah | ttmrichter|work: the partition is going to be used for pics,movies,videos,music..., what filesystem type should i decide for it? please. | 07:45 |
| sunit | bullgard4_ : I am getting - Permissions 0550 for '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key' are too open | 07:45 |
| ttmrichter|work | dttah: Do you want it accessible to Windows or anything like that? | 07:45 |
| almagest | overclucker: thanks! and since i need to be in that group to add myself to that group, i should reboot, change runlevel and hopefully manage that there? | 07:45 |
| whoppergator | jasonmsp: are you connecting to an AP, or do you need to BE the AP? | 07:45 |
| dttah | ttmrichter|work: no, only linux | 07:45 |
| ttmrichter|work | Well, if your main partition is already ext4, you might as well use it for your data partition as well. | 07:46 |
| jasonmsp | whoppergator: I need to be the AP. | 07:46 |
| dttah | ttmrichter|work: so ext4 can work well for my data files? like music videos pics ? | 07:46 |
| jasonmsp | whoppergator: i have an incoming internet connection and I want to transmit that to the other laptops. | 07:46 |
| ttmrichter|work | dttah: Define "work well" here? | 07:47 |
| ttmrichter|work | It's a file system. | 07:47 |
| ttmrichter|work | It stores data. | 07:47 |
| ttmrichter|work | It gives the data back on demand. | 07:47 |
| whoppergator | kapilkaisare: yeah, there is a scripts folder for network-manager | 07:48 |
| dttah | ttmrichter|work: I mean to say " is ext4 supposed to be used for data files, I mean can that type of filesystem run data files normally and accurately ? " | 07:48 |
| overclucker | sunit: ls -l /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key it should be -rw------- , otherwise sudo chmod 600 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key | 07:49 |
| ttmrichter|work | dttah: What, precisely, would a non-data file look like? I'm confused. | 07:49 |
| bullgard4_ | sunit: What about 540 ? | 07:49 |
| jasonmsp | whoppergator: bump.. I need to be the AP. | 07:50 |
| sunit | bullgard4_ : i am trying. | 07:50 |
| goer | Or maybe my questions should be, are animated icons possible on Gnome panel? | 07:50 |
| codingenesis | how can i record my desktop ?? | 07:50 |
| codingenesis | i want to prepare tutorials | 07:51 |
| dttah | ttmrichter|work: lol like system files are't data files, data files are considered such as music...vidoes text documents, music, pics... such things are data files, and i was wondering if i recreate my partition as ext4 would it be ok for my data files ? I hope now you understood me :) | 07:51 |
| codingenesis | any software like bb Flash back | 07:51 |

| goer | google it for latest version. Put icon on desktop. Click icon. :) | 07:53 |
| ttmrichter|work | dttah: 99.44% of system files are files. Only the /dev, /proc and /sys trees aren't really files. But the kernel? Is a data file. /bin/ls? Is a data file. So any file system will allow you to store and recover data. The various file systems each have their limitations and their quirks (which is why I wouldn't recommend, say, FAT unless you need to share with Windows). But yes, ext4 will easily store and retrieve files, | 07:53 |
| goer | Goota go now. Bye all :) | 07:53 |
| whoppergator | jasonmsp: you're going to be looking into hostapd then. you might start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessAccessPoint but i'm sure there are better and more up to date tutorials out there | 07:54 |

| almagest | as a single user on the system, how can i add myself to the admin group? can this be done by booting a live cd and do chroot ? i am not able to use sudo currently. | 07:56 |
| misaq | does anyone know how to compile c++ codes in Ubuntu? | 07:56 |
| mint_ | i do | 07:56 |
| overclucker | misaq: g++ ? | 07:56 |
| urlin2u | almagest, did you forget the password? | 07:57 |
| mint_ | use g++ compiler | 07:57 |
| Flannel | almagest: it's easiest to reboot into the recovery console | 07:57 |
| misaq | overclucker, I used make before and it was ok. but now I can't compile. error says permission denied | 07:57 |
| almagest | urlin2u: i know the password, but did a usermod -g instead of usermod -G. Then i cannot use sudo since im not in admin group | 07:58 |
| misaq | mint_, I used g++ too. i receive errors | 07:58 |
| Sp4rKy | misaq: pastebin full log | 07:58 |
| Flannel | almagest: you probably did -G without the -a, -g will change your primary group, but shouldn't remove you from the secondaries. | 07:58 |
| Flannel | almagest: in the future, consider using adduser instead of usermod. | 07:58 |
| misaq | Sp4rKy, can you delineate more? | 07:58 |
| Sp4rKy | misaq: put your log on http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 07:59 |
| urlin2u | almagest, you need a password to edit the group file. | 07:59 |
| Sp4rKy | (the result of your make, with the "permission denied" errors) | 07:59 |
| almagest | Flannel: thanks for the tips. i actually did both of them, first -g then -G. Bad idea. The recovery console will make me root then? | 07:59 |
| Flannel | almagest: yep. | 07:59 |
| misaq | Sp4rKy: and then? | 08:00 |
| almagest | urlin2u: yes, i know the password luckily, but the group file needs admin rights. catch-22 | 08:00 |
| Sp4rKy | misaq: and then give us the link of your paste | 08:00 |
| misaq | Sp4rKy: ok | 08:00 |

| iceroot_ | misaq: chmod +x test | 08:03 |
| iceroot_ | misaq: but what should that file contain? | 08:04 |
| iceroot_ | misaq: c++ code? | 08:04 |

| misaq | iceroot_: yes | 08:05 |
| iceroot_ | misaq: you cant execute a file with c++ code. you have to compile it first | 08:05 |
| iceroot_ | misaq: ##c++ | 08:05 |
| misaq | iceroot_: ##c++? | 08:06 |
| === trevor is now known as static_void_ | ||

| iceroot_ | misaq: ##c++ is the c++ channel | 08:06 |
| misaq | iceroot_: yes | 08:06 |
| iceroot_ | misaq: also think about using a gui instead of hacking on the shell | 08:06 |
| misaq | iceroot_: thanks for the tip. you know, I used to compile and run with make easily before. but now i receive these errors | 08:07 |
| mint_ | make space between #include and <iostream> | 08:07 |
| almagest | Flannel: just to be certain, i reboot into recovery, then issue a; adduser -G admin <myuser> | 08:08 |
| Sp4rKy | misaq: if "test" contains your code, then you have to compile it. If it's the result of your compile, then you might need to add +x permissions | 08:08 |
| almagest | Flannel: to fix the group issue? | 08:08 |
| Sp4rKy | misaq: and make is not a compiler | 08:08 |
| misaq | Sp4rKy: I know. but I used to type "make test" on the cmdline. and it worked fine | 08:09 |
| Sp4rKy | depends of your makefile | 08:09 |
| iceroot_ | misaq: use a gui | 08:09 |
| jjp_ | misaq: sorry, I take in route. What's the actual error for target 'test' of your makefile ? | 08:10 |
| misaq | Sp4rKy, is it probable that the ubuntu include files have been displaced? | 08:10 |

| iceroot_ | misaq: #include<iostream> is wrong | 08:13 |
| iceroot_ | misaq: #include <iostream> | 08:13 |
| mint_ | lol | 08:13 |
| iceroot_ | misaq: and if i am correct its called iostream.h but please go to ##c++ | 08:13 |
| oisgam | the thing is that the update manager in my ubuntu 11.04 want to install the gjome display manager and so i let it do itand it messed up my ubuntu so i had to return to unity and it was a big mess and now it tells me to do it again and thereś a lot of update packages that want to install too and idk wich ones chose and wich ones don chose | 08:13 |
| misaq | iceroot_: thanks for tips. I switch to #c++ | 08:14 |
| zagibu | maybe you installed some gnome thing that now wants to pull in the rest of the gnome stuff? | 08:14 |
| oisgam | do u know what could be ? | 08:15 |
| zagibu | i have no idea | 08:15 |
| iceroot_ | misaq: using namespace std; is the next issue | 08:15 |
| oisgam | T_T | 08:15 |
| zagibu | i always do a apt-get install -sy blah >> XXX_blah.install before installing something, this way I have a history of all apt changes | 08:16 |
| jjp_ | iceroot: Still, regarding misaq's issue, the error log display no compilation error, but a linker error. I would have expected a compilation error when an incorrect include directive occurs. Anyway, this definitely is a question for #c++ | 08:16 |
| ravigdrk | hi | 08:16 |
| Guest95783 | hi | 08:16 |
| ravigdrk | is there anyone to help me | 08:16 |
| greencloud | hello! | 08:16 |
| Guest95783 | yes | 08:16 |
| Guest95783 | what is your prob | 08:17 |
| oisgam | and i have other issue since i've configured the compiz cube and all that stuff the loading screen of ubuntu looks weird do u know how can i solve this ? | 08:17 |
| ravigdrk | i need to share folder in ubuntu 10.04 lts | 08:17 |
| Guest95783 | share with who | 08:17 |
| ravigdrk | windows user | 08:18 |
| ravigdrk | I need to set permission | 08:18 |
| Guest95783 | ravigdrk, you want your windowns | 08:18 |
| ravigdrk | they can past content and copy but not remove or delete | 08:18 |
| ravigdrk | I don't know what you called that | 08:19 |
| Guest95783 | wait , i still can't understan what you say exactly | 08:19 |
| ravigdrk | i configure samba I can share the folder but i am struck at permission setting | 08:19 |
| mint | hey guys, i have a this question, im the way to install this OS, and during the installation it asked for "mount point" for filesystem i have chosen "/" now im going to create my second partition which is supposed to be used for musics,videos,pics etc... what "mount point" should i use for that partition ?? | 08:19 |
| Guest95783 | are there two os in your computer | 08:19 |
| Guest95783 | oh , got it | 08:20 |
| ravigdrk | NO I want to share my ubuntu folder to my network | 08:20 |
| th0r | mint: /home | 08:20 |
| oisgam | the clasic partitions are / (root) /home (your files and a swap | 08:20 |
| misaq | jjp_: I can't send to #c++ | 08:20 |
| oisgam | swap is comonly the twice of your ram | 08:20 |
| iceroot_ | !register | misaq | 08:20 |
| ubottu | misaq: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 08:20 |
| Guest95783 | yes , samba can achieve that | 08:20 |
| ravigdrk | advance thanks' for your help | 08:21 |
| ravigdrk | I can able to share using samba | 08:21 |
| mint | th0r: so... well, filesystem mount point = "/" Data files partition(music,videos,pics) = "/home"? sorry for making sure twice, i dont wanna be mistaken | 08:21 |
| gry | http://i.imgur.com/X3m3z.png <--- What can I do to fix the fonts that should label the axis, please? | 08:21 |
| ravigdrk | but I don't know how set permission to that folder | 08:21 |
| xt3mp0r | What is x11? Does ubuntu 11.04 GNOME use it ? | 08:21 |
| oisgam | mint: swap -> twice your ram root -> 50 gb home -> whatever you want it's for all you files | 08:22 |
| Guest95783 | do you know the command -- chmod | 08:22 |
| iceroot_ | !x | xt3mp0r | 08:22 |
| ubottu | xt3mp0r: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 08:22 |
| ravigdrk | i want set like this they can past content and copy but not remove or delete | 08:22 |
| th0r | mint: correct. And if you have less than about 2G ram, or want to suspend, you need swap (1.5 - 2 times ram) | 08:22 |
| xt3mp0r | iceroot_: Thanks ^^ | 08:22 |
| Guest95783 | ok , how about using ftp | 08:22 |
| Guest95783 | we are using ftp , and it works perfect | 08:23 |
| oisgam | mint : root (/) and home (/home) need to have ext4 format or ext3 depending on the version u want to install | 08:24 |
| mint | th0r: I run 16GB overclocked DDR3 ram, so now how many GBs should i provide for swap-space? and my next question please if i can, previous times i always used to check "nothing" in mount point for NON-filessystem partitions, that was wrong ? | 08:24 |
| oisgam | mint : and let swap without format then choose linux swap | 08:24 |
| jjp_ | misaq: try to link with g++ instead of cc : g++ test.o -o test | 08:24 |
| mint | oisgam: thanks Sr :) | 08:25 |
| Guest95783 | who can use command chroot | 08:25 |
| zagibu | ravigdrk: not sure if it applies to samba as well, but you might want to look up the "sticky bit" | 08:25 |
| oisgam | mint np ;) | 08:25 |
| Guest95783 | help me | 08:25 |
| Guest95783 | i am comfused | 08:25 |
| mint | :) | 08:25 |
| Guest95783 | about chroot | 08:25 |
| jjp_ | misaq: BTW, 'test' is a very bad name for a program, because a 'test' command is likely to be higher in your path, either as a shell builtin or as a command | 08:25 |
| zagibu | what is your question exactly? | 08:25 |
| misaq | jjp_: dear jjp_ i tried it. not ok. can it be because of my include files displacement? | 08:25 |
| bambanx | Guys in console how can i copy my last output? | 08:25 |
| th0r | mint: with 16GB ram I wouldn't mess with swap, and you don't need to mount non-filesystem partitions...you can always change that later if you need it | 08:26 |
| bambanx | or reuse it | 08:26 |
| paradoxx | Greetings all. I'm having a problem with Ubuntu1. The sync deamon is taking up over 1g of memory and ~90% CPU usage. Why is that? | 08:26 |
| === kent2 is now known as khjh | ||
| Guest95783 | who kent2 | 08:26 |
| jjp_ | misaq: sorry, I obvioulsy lack background on your issue. You moved your include files ? | 08:27 |
| Guest95783 | hi , how can i make my sys boots faster? | 08:27 |
| misaq | jjp_: not really. but I remember once I tried to recompile my kernel. however, it was not complete because of the complexity | 08:28 |
| oisgam | ok... there's a lot of diferent threads and idk if somebody told me something about my loading screen issue xD | 08:28 |
| mint | th0r: but the thing is, when i dont mount NON filesystem partition and trying to go ahead by pressing Install a dialog pops up and asks " no mount point is assigned for the ext4 file system in partition #5 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)." and in this case partition 5 is the partition which im going to use for videos pics music... it forces me to choose mount point | 08:29 |
| misaq | I cannot send to #c++. even !register is not possible | 08:29 |
| Guest95783 | ? | 08:29 |
| Guest95783 | anyone who can lfs | 08:29 |
| Guest95783 | tell me | 08:29 |
| Guest95783 | /who misaq | 08:30 |
| th0r | mint: if you mounted /home to sda5 you shouldn't be getting that. did you designate sda5 as ext3/4 for /home? | 08:31 |
| mint | th0r: of sorry i have forgotten to check it as /home, i did, and it passed away thanks:) now just tell me how many GB i need to provide for this swap-space? is 5gb enough ? | 08:32 |
| th0r | mint: with 16GB ram, I wouldn't bother with swap | 08:33 |
| discostu2 | can i force ubuntu, or ubuntu recovery console, to force VGA graphics from the boot options in grub? i cannot get past ubuntu selection because hardware acceleration on my card is fubared but i can load win xp because i was able to delete the nvidia driver through win xp safe mode. | 08:33 |
| th0r | mint: just checking, you are installing either 64 bit or pae kernel, correct? | 08:33 |
| mint | th0r: mhhh have no idea wha "pae kernal" is, but for sure im installing 64bit one | 08:34 |
| th0r | mint: the pae kernel allows 32bit systems to use more than 3GB ram | 08:34 |
| mint | th0r: question question please, if i check in the box "Format?" it will format the partition before it will install OS in it ? | 08:35 |
| dr-willis | wouldent make sence to format it after the install ;) | 08:36 |
| th0r | nubt: correct. If you were installing an upgrade, you would NOT format /home, that way all your personal data and config files would remain intact. But for a new install, format both / and /homt | 08:36 |
| Shambler[Bishop | I have latest Ubuntu running in VirtualBox, and the screen has turned black, but it is still working away in the background (it is encoding a DVD and CPU is still going processing that etc.). I've tried switching VirtualBox from fullscreen back to windowed etc., but I can't fix the black screen issue. what might be wrong here? (have asked on VirtualBox channel with no help) | 08:36 |
| Shambler[Bishop | want to find a way to fix this without reboot | 08:37 |
| mint | dr-willis: lol no im about due the installation when you divide HDD for partition there is a checkbox BEFORE installation it says "Format?" I guess it stands for, format the partition then install OS :) | 08:37 |
| yourstruly | I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint | 08:37 |
| discostu2 | can i force ubuntu, or ubuntu recovery mode, to usa VGA graphics from the boot options in grub? i cannot get past ubuntu selection because hardware acceleration on my card is fubared but i can load win xp because i was able to delete the nvidia driver through win xp safe mode. | 08:38 |
| chavo | Shambler[Bishop: it probably locked the screen, i've had that happen | 08:38 |
| Shambler[Bishop | I turned the screensaver off though | 08:38 |
| chavo | ok | 08:39 |
| dr-willis | Shambler[Bishop: sounds like the screensaver or powerssver /screenlock. you could ssh in and restert gdm but that wull reset x. but nit reboot | 08:39 |
| Shambler[Bishop | when I switch virtualbox to 'seamless' mode, it draws the windows, just in a very bugged state, like they are not rendering properly (or at all) | 08:39 |
| chavo | i was able to focus the window and enter my password here | 08:39 |
| Shambler[Bishop | if I restart gdm would that interrupt running programs? | 08:40 |
| lynx____ | I'm getting some serious kernel problems | 08:40 |
| lynx____ | how do I reinstall the kernel | 08:40 |
| chavo | yes | 08:40 |
| dr-willis | Shambler[Bishop: restarts X so x aps get killed.. | 08:40 |
| Shambler[Bishop | ya okey, is there some way of fixing this whilst avoiding that? | 08:41 |
| misaq | lynx____: if you are a newbie like me, i recommend you to reinstall the OS not the kernel alone. kernel is hard to reconfigure | 08:41 |
| lynx____ | How do I reinstall the kernel, aptitude --reinstall instlal kernel package name | 08:41 |
| lynx____ | well it's getting annoying I already wasted a CD | 08:42 |
| lynx____ | my computer keeps crashing | 08:42 |
| dr-willis | lynx____: perhaps state the real probmems | 08:42 |
| dr-willis | with details | 08:42 |
| lynx____ | I keep seeing IRQ-type errors, and even worse... the computer keeps crashing if it seems to be using too much memory, or if I use a program for a long time | 08:42 |
| misaq | lynx____: once i tried to recompile kernel. it was not a success. | 08:42 |
| discostu2 | can i force ubuntu, or ubuntu recovery mode, to usa VGA graphics from the boot options in grub? i cannot get past ubuntu selection because hardware acceleration on my card is fubared but i can load win xp because i was able to delete the nvidia driver through win xp safe mode. | 08:42 |
| lynx____ | It's as if my IRQ is | 08:42 |
| lynx____ | ok, I don't think you get it, I DON'T WANT TO RECOMPILE THE KERNEL! I WANT TO REINSTALL THE DEFALT KERNEL WHICH IS WHAT I AM USING | 08:43 |
| misaq | lynx____: did it use to work fine before? | 08:43 |
| lynx____ | yes | 08:43 |
| lynx____ | perfectly | 08:43 |
| dr-willis | befor what. | 08:43 |
| misaq | lynx____: is your machine Intel? | 08:43 |
| lynx____ | before nothing, the kernel started giving horrible IRQ errors | 08:43 |
| lynx____ | it doesn't matter what machine type it is | 08:43 |
| lynx____ | like I said, it's the vmlinuz file itself | 08:44 |
| discostu2 | lynx____: calm down | 08:44 |
| dr-willis | i doubt if reinstalling the kernel will fix anything. | 08:44 |
| bjhaid | is there anyway i can ensure my network manager starts immediately @ startup, because I have an app in my startup application that needs network to start and it wouldnt start because network manager starts only when ubuntu has completed startup | 08:44 |
| dr-willis | unless the fsgot cyrrupted. | 08:44 |
| lynx____ | I think that's what happened | 08:44 |
| lynx____ | I kept getting errors when running "Parellizing fsck" | 08:45 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: You might use the ifconfig command to connect to the network without using network manager. | 08:45 |
| lynx____ | bu tit was only a few files | 08:45 |
| lynx____ | I power off my computer, not shut down | 08:45 |
| lynx____ | that could also be why | 08:45 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: nm is more for a user-friendly connect. Check out man ifconfig | 08:45 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: i place the ifconfig in my script | 08:45 |
| bjhaid | ? | 08:45 |
| dr-willis | then it maybe best to reinstall. you can try the kernel iguess. | 08:45 |
| === dayanand is now known as djd | ||
| kwtm | bjhaid: You do? And it's not working? | 08:45 |
| lynx____ | okay | 08:45 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: i got a bash script that starts up my app, just asking if i should place it in my script? | 08:46 |
| dr-willis | apt-get has a --reinstall option | 08:46 |
| lynx____ | so I type aptitude --reinstall install nvidia-kernel-2.6.32-5-686? | 08:46 |
| lynx____ | or apt-get | 08:46 |
| dr-willis | thats not a valid kernal package name is it? | 08:46 |
| OldFarter | If im sitting next to the wifi router why does it take half of eternity to connect? | 08:46 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: That is what I am suggesting, that you use ifconfig in your script. There may be other ways as well, but I've used ifconfig to force a connect and it seemed to work. This was some time ago, though. Just tossing out an idea. | 08:47 |
| lynx____ | thanks, apt-get worked, aptitude didn't | 08:47 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: thanks | 08:48 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Ethernet (wired) connection? | 08:48 |
| rethus | is there easy way to switch from 32 bit natty to 64 bit natty? | 08:49 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: yes | 08:50 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: still did not work | 08:50 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: ifconfig fails to give you a connection? Or it reports a connection but programs aren't able to use it? | 08:51 |
| discostu2 | can i force ubuntu, or ubuntu recovery mode, to usa VGA graphics from the boot options in grub? i cannot get past ubuntu selection because hardware acceleration on my card is fubared but i can load win xp because i was able to delete the nvidia driver through win xp safe mode. | 08:51 |
| discostu2 | *use | 08:51 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: After you use ifconfig to connect, you might want to ping www.google.com to see if there's a connection. (For debugging, not for permanent.) | 08:52 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: if i include ping www.google.com in the script, how do i get the response? | 08:53 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Redirect. Something like ping -c 4 www.google.com > "$HOME/debug.log" or something. | 08:55 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: You are familiar with shell programming? Bash programming? | 08:55 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: a little | 08:55 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: would do that now | 08:56 |
| kwtm | Ok. So, "still did not work" means ... what? Computer did not respond? Exploded? Your application failed to connect? etc. | 08:56 |
| root | ls -alh | 08:57 |
| root | ls | 08:57 |
| root | ls | 08:57 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: ^^ (Oh, and you can ask for help in #bash, too, although they are not as noobfriendly) | 08:57 |
| jasonmsp | anyone know why I am getting "SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported." after - iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc ??? | 08:57 |
| === root is now known as Guest46016 | ||
| bjhaid | kwtm: ping:unknown host to www.google.com | 08:57 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: What are you getting for ifconfig? Is the ethernet connection up? Do you have a IP address? (I'm guessing you're DHCP) | 08:58 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: i run a static address on that machine | 08:58 |
| kwtm | jasonmsp: Is it because your wlan0 device doesn't do adhoc? Or that your wlan0 device isn't working/isn't what you think it is? | 08:58 |
| jasonmsp | Hmm.. | 08:59 |
| creative2innovat | hi | 08:59 |
| creative2innovat | :) | 08:59 |
| gry | hi | 08:59 |
| creative2innovat | enjoying Ubuntu :) | 08:59 |
| gry | :) | 08:59 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: or any idea how i can specify the static address for the machine to use? | 09:00 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Okay, do you have another static address to test? Another machine? Your router? The fact that you have an unknown host means that DNS is not working to translate google.com to 216.239.37.99 | 09:00 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: how about if i ping the machine i need to connect to and see what the response would be? | 09:00 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: ?? What do you mean? The fact that you have a static address set up means that you have the static address already, no? | 09:00 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: If you ping the machine to connect to, and fail, you don't know if it's a connection problem. Google probably hasn't failed, so pinging it to see if it works will narrow down the problem. | 09:01 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: its on a local network and cannot fail, but i would ping google like you said | 09:01 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: I'm assuming this is all on bootup and that nm takes effect by the time you get control of your machine. | 09:02 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: you are right | 09:02 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Well, if all is on local network then you can ping more than one machine to make sure it's not the pinged machine that's failing. Maybe ping the router if it responds. | 09:02 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: thanks, would do a remote connection to the machine get that done, gimmie some mins | 09:03 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: What is the output of ifconfig? Does it show the connection up yet? Maybe it's still booting, and you just need to wait till the connection is there before running your app. | 09:03 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: ifconfig shows nothing | 09:03 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Sorry, bit of a noob here, not sure what you mean by a "remote connection". You don't mean VNC or something, do you? That's way after bootup. | 09:04 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: What do you mean "ifconfig shows nothing"? Surely it must show something, like 127.0.0.1? Does it see the ethernet interface? | 09:04 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: i am chatting on another machine, so i use vnc to connect to the machine | 09:04 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Do you need to set your DNS? | 09:04 |
| bjhaid | bjhaid: no since i dont need to connect to the internet right away | 09:05 |
| susundbe1g | Hi! Does anyone else have problems with Skype and natty? My first call gets 'scrambled' and while booting up the login sound of skype is also disturbed. | 09:05 |
| bahamas | hello. i've installed the latest updates for 11.04 and now my wireless can't see any existing wireless networks anymore. how can i debug this? | 09:05 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Oh, I see what you mean: you are currently using a VNC connection to set up the machine in question. That's fine, it doesn't matter what you use. I thought you mean doing VNC at bootup. | 09:05 |
| rethus | on kubuntu-page i see in download section 32bit is recommended... why is 64 bit not stable? | 09:05 |
| bjhaid | nope, else i would have to log-off and login to communicate with you | 09:06 |
| bahamas | i don't have access to the computer right now, so i can't try out your suggestions | 09:06 |
| jasonmsp | kwtm: the device itself supports ad-hoc. and lsusb lists 'Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B ' | 09:06 |
| jasonmsp | jasonmsp: any thoughts where to go from here? | 09:06 |
| kwtm | jasonmsp: Oh. Then I don't know. | 09:06 |
| Shambler[Bishop | so, is there a way to recover from a black screen in ubuntu, where the programs are still working ok etc. just screen is black, without losing programs active state? | 09:07 |
| rethus | on (k)ubuntu-page i see in download section 32bit is recommended... why is 64 bit not stable? | 09:08 |
| gry | Add a new monitor? I'd not be sure we would be able to move X instance to that, though | 09:08 |
| Shambler[Bishop | don't think I can; is running in virtualbox | 09:08 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: yet to set it right, but ifconfig showed 127.0.0.1 as the ip address | 09:08 |
| bahamas | rethus: it probably is, and if you want to use more than 4 GB of RAM, you need a 64-bit system | 09:10 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Okay, you have multiple interfaces to connect over the net. "lo" is the one you always have. So, ifconfig does not "show nothing". What does it show? Does it show a "eth0" interface? Is it up? Down? etc. Your lack of detail is not really helping. | 09:10 |
| Shambler[Bishop | does ubuntu try to automatically recover from graphics driver failures? | 09:10 |
| rethus | bahamas: but why on ubuntu and kubuntu page in download-section 32 bit is recommended | 09:11 |
| Shambler[Bishop | legacy computers prolly | 09:11 |
| Shambler[Bishop | ancient shitboxes | 09:11 |
| bahamas | anyone have any suggestions about how to debug this wireless issue or where to look? the wireless card is active. it just can't find any networks | 09:11 |
| bahamas | rethus: not all applications are compiled for 64 bits | 09:11 |
| rethus | bahamas: is there a list which show which are missing | 09:12 |
| rethus | i think about to create a new partition.... install 64 bit and switch to 64 bit.... is this possible? Which would be the best way to do this | 09:13 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: i would paste the result of ifconfig | 09:15 |
| orated | I'm getting following errors on every upgrade, installaion - debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (Dialog frontend requires a screen at least 13 lines tall and 31 columns wide.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline. What's the reson and how to fix i? | 09:15 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Sorry, this seems to be unproductive and you have still not responded to the question of "what is the output of ifconfig?" which I asked 10 minutes ago | 09:15 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Oh, there you are. | 09:15 |
| bahamas | rethus: do you need a 64-bit system (using more than 4 GB of RAM)? you can use a virtual machine to install a 64-bit version and play with it | 09:15 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: sorry just looked away a little | 09:15 |
| bjhaid | going to paste it now | 09:16 |
| votz | Well crap. I accidently set the permissions to /etc/sudoers so that I can no longer sudo (can't be read by my user). And I can't change the permissions back b/c that requires sudo ;). How can I login to root and fix the priveleges? | 09:16 |

| mantas | hi | 09:18 |
| mantas | can somebody help | 09:18 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: So, either you are running IPv6 or you don't have an IP address set up. How are you specifying the machine you are connecting to --by IP address or name with DNS lookup? Is it IPv6? | 09:19 |
| votz | mantas: In general on irc, just ask. No need to ask to ask | 09:19 |
| mantas | no wi-fi on dell vostro 3450 | 09:19 |
| mantas | desperate already | 09:19 |
| bahamas | votz: su | 09:19 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: by ip address, i specified a static address for the machine, just wondering if i could specify an address for the guy in my script? | 09:20 |
| votz | bahamas: Right, but that prompts me for the root pword which I have no clue what it is | 09:20 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: What is "the guy"? And where do you specify "a static address"? | 09:20 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: my local machine, i am currently specifying the static address in the network manager | 09:21 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Please be clear. The way I understand it is: you have decided what the address of your machine in question (let's call it MIQ) is. Is this IPv6 or just IPv4? Also, you want to connect to Some Other Machine called The Guy (SOMTG). Where on the network is it located? What address? | 09:22 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Okay, so do I understand correctly that you are telling Network Manager what the address of MIQ is, and now I am suggesting that you use ifconfig before network manager even comes up, and you are wondering why ifconfig does not know what address of MIQ is? | 09:23 |
| bahamas | votz: talk to your system administrator then | 09:23 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: MIQ uses IPv4 to connect with SOMTG (10.10.5.x) | 09:23 |
| votz | bahamas: I am my system admin, heh | 09:23 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: i see why ifconfig doesnt know what the address of the machine is | 09:23 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: anyway i can specify it in my code? | 09:23 |
| votz | I just went through the basic ubuntu install. No password entry for root | 09:23 |

| laserbled | Hi, can anyone suggest an application which can record my desktop video in 1080p HD please | 09:24 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: You mean can you specify what your MIQ's IP address is? Yes, of course. Isn't that the whole purpose of using ifconfig? | 09:25 |
| ace | anyway, I've just formatted my machine and made a clean install of ubuntu only.. wooo hooo... hoooo .hooo | 09:25 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: thanks | 09:25 |
| ace | nay ideas of the best apps out there I might need? | 09:25 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Okay, in case I wasn't clear, you want to do ifconfig eth0 10.10.5.219 or whatever the IP address is. Near the end you want to do ifconfig >> "$HOME/debug.log" to find out of it worked. | 09:25 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: i think i need to go readup ifconfig, though i dont mind if you could give me the syntax:) | 09:25 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: i would do that gimmie say 5mins, thanks | 09:26 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Ok, sorry, I am willing to provide help but I am not going to work harder than you. Please do "man ifconfig". | 09:26 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: thanks alot | 09:26 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Best of luck. I am going to go to sleep now. It looks like there are a few pieces missing from your script but some basic homework on your part should fill in the missing gaps. | 09:26 |
| laserbled | before that, is it possible to record video from desktop at a resolution greater than my native resolution ? | 09:26 |
| bjhaid | kwtm: thanks a million | 09:27 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: Ok. Good luck! | 09:27 |

Thanks an advance | 09:28 |
| recon69_lap | hi all, anyone know a command for cleaning away updates to free disk space, probably have about 3 years worth on system | 09:29 |
| philipballew | hey! my cd's are not showing up in my /media folder. how can i tell if there just not mounting or its a hardware problem | 09:31 |
| iceroot_ | recon69_lap: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean | 09:31 |
| kwtm | bjhaid: One more summary, just in case I was unclear (my fault). So, MIQ is trying to connect to SOMTG, but nm (network manager) is not yet ready. The point is to use ifconfig to replace nm, because ifconfig is much easier on scripts (and faster). So you run ifconfig to say "connect to network. Use eth0. This is our (MIQ's) IP address. This is the address of the DNS server." Then you optionally check the results of the ifconfig. | 09:31 |
| kwtm | Then you go run the program that connects to SOMTG. | 09:32 |
| recon69_lap | thx iceroot_, i'll give them a spin | 09:32 |
| kwtm | And, in case you didn't realize already, ifconfig needs superuser to run. Root, or get root privileges. Afterward, you can still run nm; I think it will take over from ifconfig, but it might disconnect briefly while it rearranges connections the way nm itself likes it. | 09:33 |
| kwtm | ok bye | 09:33 |
| ethanol | what can't fcgi user write to my /tmp ? | 09:33 |
| === [Sanyi] is now known as AlexC | ||
| ethanol | everytime I reboot I have to manually create the file and chmod 777 it | 09:33 |
| ethanol | I thought /tmp was writeable by everyone? | 09:34 |
| === AlexC is now known as [Sanyi] | ||
| MrNthDegree | ethanol, /tmp itself is | 09:34 |
| ethanol | but I cannot create a file in there? | 09:34 |
| MrNthDegree | you need to do the following: | 09:34 |
| MrNthDegree | drop to a command line | 09:35 |
| MrNthDegree | you need to delete all of /tmp, including the directory itself as root | 09:35 |
| MrNthDegree | (to become root do: sudo -i) | 09:35 |
| mpl | hi, using 10.04 here. why isn't my choice for visual effects saved upon reboots? how can I make it persistent? | 09:35 |
| MrNthDegree | to delete /tmp and all it's contents do: rm -r /tmp | 09:35 |
| === [Sanyi] is now known as AlexanderC | ||
| ethanol | I'd rather want to find out white I cannot write to it with the fcgi user | 09:36 |
| MrNthDegree | be *very* careful when using this command and ensure you have not typoed before running it | 09:36 |
| ethanol | why* not white :< | 09:36 |
| MrNthDegree | ethanol, and then you need to recreate it in the following way | 09:36 |
| MrNthDegree | mkdir /tmp && chown root:root /tmp && chmod 1777 /tmp | 09:36 |
| kwtm | MrNthDegree: Why does he need to delete all of /tmp first? | 09:37 |
| MrNthDegree | kwtm, because there are hidden files which can interfere with write processes | 09:37 |
| ethanol | yeah it makes no sense to do that | 09:37 |
| ethanol | I just want to write to /tmp/test.log | 09:37 |
| kwtm | MrNthDegree: ?? Not sure what that means. What are the negative consequences of doing sudo chown --recursive root:root /tmp ? What write processes would be interfered with? | 09:38 |
| kwtm | ethanol: Is your /tmp confirmed to be writeable by everyone? | 09:38 |
| MrNthDegree | kwtm, how about every pipe related to the GUI apps the user is running? | 09:38 |
| ethanol | argh | 09:38 |
| ethanol | nevermind | 09:38 |
| MrNthDegree | kwtm, and when the user reboots they may not be able to even login that way | 09:38 |
| === AlexanderC is now known as [Sanyi] | ||
| ethanol | stupid person that wrote the class only used is_writable on the filename, but if the file isnt there yet it is not writeable obviously... | 09:39 |
| kwtm | ethanol: Ahh... that would explain it. :P | 09:39 |
| ethanol | gonne add checking if dirname() is is_writeable() or file_exists() | 09:39 |
| ethanol | -_- | 09:39 |
| kwtm | MrNthDegree: Still not sure how pipe would be affected, especially if it's made all writeable first before chowning, but what do I know, I'm just a noob. Anyway, sounds like problem's been found. | 09:40 |
| hermanus | hi all. I've been using FileZilla for years, and it was always very stable, but last year things are degrading and it hangs a lot. I'm really dependant on my FTP-client, so I need it to 'just work'. Are there any alternatives for FileZilla that come close to its functionality but run very stable? Much thanks for any answer. | 09:41 |
| MrNthDegree | kwtm, orbit-<username> is a good example | 09:41 |
| MrNthDegree | kwtm, that directory contains pipes which GNOME apps use a lot | 09:41 |
| fatih1993 | is exist a way to reach my music files in win7 from ubuntu? ( I ve built ubuntu on win7) | 09:41 |
| MrNthDegree | kwtm, the directory is only accessible by the one user (the owner) | 09:42 |
| RedEloque | hi, i've got some weird issues with XFS, i've got files named like "?????????? ? ? " at lotsa places, xfs_repair isn't able to fix those, anyone have any clue what is going on? This started after a powerfailure | 09:42 |
| MrNthDegree | kwtm, if that gets changed to root ownership, things are almost guaranteed to start breaking | 09:42 |
| wildbat | fatih1993: just mount the drive ~ ubuntu support ntfs | 09:43 |
| kwtm | MrNthDegree: Okay, I will take your word on that. I don't use GNOME -- it sounds like it breaks pretty easily. Anyway, carry on, then. | 09:43 |
| fatih1993 | wildbat, whati s ntfs? | 09:44 |
| wildbat | hermanus: curlftpfs ;p | 09:45 |
| MrNthDegree | fatih1993, NTFS is the filesystem Windows 7 uses | 09:45 |
| wildbat | fatih1993: ntfs is the file system used by windows. | 09:45 |
| hermanus | wildbat, thanks, that might work out with a gui | 09:47 |
| RedEloque | no XFS experts? | 09:47 |
| fatih1993 | wildbat, ok | 09:47 |
| wildbat | hermanus: hehe ~ nautils can access FTP anyways | 09:48 |
| wildbat | nautilus | 09:48 |
| hermanus | wildbat, yeah but i need decent bookmarking, not intervening with my filsystem bookmarks | 09:49 |

| m_fulder | glebihan ufw start/running | 10:48 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, ok so you do have a firewall running | 10:48 |
| rethus | anyone knows if such a programm exist (mobilecam over Bluetooth as webcam use) | 10:48 |
| m_fulder | glebihan oh hehe :O so I should stop ufw? | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | rethus: do you use Android on your phone? | 10:49 |
| rethus | windows mobile | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | rethus: oh :( | 10:49 |
| rethus | it has bluetooth and wireless lan | 10:49 |
| pirlo | Hi, i have an error while updating my packages : "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/xul-ext-ubufox_0.9.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfn4_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/xul-ext/ubufox/components/ufoxHTTPListener.js', which is also in package ubufox 0". Can anyone help me fix it ? | 10:49 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, either you stop it, or you allow connection on port 25, via "sudo ufw allow 25" | 10:49 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, thanks you very much! Will I have to reboot? | 10:49 |
| m_fulder | ah yeah thats better glebihan..but do I really need a connection on port 25 on my machine if I only want to use relay-smtp? | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: no, this is linux. Just close all web browsers and rerun. You are good to go | 10:50 |
| m_fulder | @ glebihan * | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: the only real time you need to reboot is to change kernels | 10:50 |
| ravigdrk | even it don't help me | 10:51 |
| ravigdrk | they can't past the file | 10:51 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, yes your machine will still be seen as a mail server from any client connecting to it, and you will need to allow smtp connections to it | 10:51 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, I asked because it's still the same after restarting chromium. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | pirlo: I suggest you log a bug. You can always force install the deb. The package system doesn't like packages containing the same file. Is the deb from a PPA per chance | 10:52 |
| m_fulder | aha oki then I get it glebihan but still after allowing port 25 and trying to telnet localhost 25 I get the same error message while running nullmailer | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: does it happen in all browsers? | 10:52 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, yes. | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: do you use any flash based extensions to the browser? | 10:52 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, the only extension I have for chromium is Speed dial. | 10:53 |
| fasta | I put in a usb key, but it gets mounted read-only. Why is that? I want it mounted with read and write options. | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: could try a reboot, doesn't hurt | 10:53 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, is the nullmailer service running ? | 10:53 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, okay. brb | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: when you last pulled it out of a system, what steps did you take. What file system is the USB partition? | 10:53 |
| pirlo | ActionParsnip, i don't think so, its from a package called "xul-ext-ubufox" | 10:54 |
| m_fulder | glebihan yeah I guess :P | 10:54 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, to be sure, "service nullmailer status" | 10:54 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: it is vfat, it is a long time ago that I last used it. | 10:54 |
| gigenieks | Hi all, | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | pirlo: if you run: apt-cache policy xul-ext-ubufox where does the latest version come from? | 10:55 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, it's still the same. | 10:55 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: write-protect is off. | 10:55 |
| m_fulder | glebihan didn't work they want me to use /etc/init.d/nullmailer instead of service and then there's no status attribute :O | 10:55 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, Could I by a mistake have changed a setting somewhere? | 10:55 |
| ravigdrk | I want to share a folder using samba and users can only copy & past the files and folders t but not to delete or overwrite how do that!? | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: ok, when you are done with the device and want to remove it, what steps do you take? | 10:55 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, then try "sudo /etc/init.d/nullmailer restart" and then try to connect via telnet again | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: doubt it, if you make a new user is it the same there? | 10:55 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: I click somewhere in the GUI that I want to umount it. | 10:56 |
| m_fulder | glebihan still same error :P | 10:56 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: can you just say why mount /dev/sdb1 -o rw /media/blah does not work? | 10:56 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, ok, then back to the firewall... could you pastebin the output of "sudo ufw status" ? | 10:56 |
| m_fulder | glebihan: http://pastebin.com/e8uiM3Y4 | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: good :). You may need to use remount to make it writable. I suggest you scan the data to make sure the data is healthy | 10:56 |
| ravigdrk | hi anyone helpme ! | 10:56 |
| pirlo | ActionParsnip, this is what i get "xul-ext-ubufox: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.9.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfn4 Version table: 0.9.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1~mfn4 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages" | 10:56 |
| gigenieks | my friend can't install Lubuntu have tried standard LiveCD (graphical) and Alternate install in either cases it just freezes on "Install Lubuntu" - nothing happens. Hardware specs are ---> CPU Intel Celeron 900MHz, RAM: 384MB SDRAM PC100 VGA: Intel 82810E Graphics Controller (32MB) | 10:57 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: that is, it does work with a good exit status, but I am still unable to write to it as root. | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | pirlo: then you are getting it from a 3rd party. You can force install the deb file and it will ignore the overlap. I suggest you log a bug | 10:57 |
| gigenieks | trying mini.iso (minimal install) I havent done it, and he havent used Linux | 10:57 |
| m_fulder | glebihan don't you mean "sudo service ufw status" ? .. sudo ufw status returns Status:inactive but sudo service ufw status returns ufw start/running | 10:57 |
| gigenieks | instructing via skype | 10:58 |
| gigenieks | on his other computer what to do | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: get it checked, just so we know it's all good. I've seen that make vfat mount read-only. It's not a very robust filesystem | 10:58 |
| pirlo | ActionParsnip, Ok Thanks for your help | 10:58 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, It worked correct for the new user. | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | gigenieks: if you haven't used Linux I suggest you use the desktop install ISO | 10:58 |
| dddbmt_ | works* | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: ok so we now know its your user settings, not the app | 10:58 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, no I meant "sudo ufw status", but then it means that the firewall isn't enabled... so the problem does not come from there unless you have some other firewall running | 10:59 |
| m_fulder | glebihan I have a new installation of ubuntu and haven't installed some other firewall :) | 10:59 |
| ravigdrk | help !! help!! | 10:59 |
| gigenieks | I have used, my friend havent! and as I said we tried already dektop install... | 10:59 |
| gigenieks | AcitonParship: ;) | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: could try: mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium_old then rerun the browser to get new settings in yuor current user, see how that goes | 11:00 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: get it checked? What do you mean? | 11:00 |
| m_fulder | glebihan while I was running postfix before I managed to telnet just fine but then the authentication failed :S | 11:00 |
| coz_ | ravigdrk, i didnt see your initial post,, but if you repeast the issue ,, if anyone can help, I am sure they will jump in | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: use fsck or you can do it with chkdsk in Windows | 11:00 |
| m_fulder | glebihan so I guess it's not the firewall | 11:00 |
| ravigdrk | thank you !! I want to share a folder using samba and users can only copy & past the files and folders t but not to delete or overwrite how do that!? | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | gigenieks: the mini ISO needs a web connection to install | 11:00 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: I also do not care about the data on it, btw. | 11:00 |
| gigenieks | yes we know | 11:00 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: so, if I can just format it, it would be fine too. | 11:01 |
| monty156 | hi all | 11:01 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: if that is faster.. | 11:01 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, but wouldn't this only affect chromium? The problem was in firefox as well. | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: i guess, it's faster | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: hmm, that is strange | 11:01 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip: is there some gui for that? | 11:01 |
| ravigdrk | my spare hdd file system is ntfs | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: gparted | 11:01 |
| coz_ | ravigdrk, ok if no one answers here right now you can also try the ##linux channel since that issue concerns linux in general so they could probably help as well | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ravigdrk: I always use smb.conf personally. lots easier if you ask me :) | 11:03 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, didn't do anything (mv chromium). How do I switch it back? | 11:03 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, after looking at the documentation, it appears I didn't understand what nullmailer was... | 11:03 |
| ravigdrk | thak YOu Action Parsnip | 11:03 |
| ravigdrk | ##linux | 11:03 |
| ravigdrk | I want to share a folder using samba and users can only copy & past the files and folders t but not to delete or overwrite how do that!? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: rm -r ~/.config/chromium; mv ~/.config/chromium_old ~/.config/chromium | 11:03 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, it only handles outgoing messages, so you won't be able to connect to it via smtp | 11:03 |
| gigenieks | so I guess noone has a clue what to do...? | 11:03 |
| coz_ | ravigdrk, if you want to join another channel,, where you type here type t his /join ##linux | 11:04 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, have a look at the manpages for nullmailer, nullmailer-inject, nullmailer-queue and nullmailer-send | 11:04 |
| m_fulder | glebihan how do you mean only outgoing ? should I still be able to send a message using another SMTP with nullmailer? | 11:04 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, thanks! But do you have any suggestions for the doubble speed? | 11:04 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, yes, but it won't allow you to connect to your machine remotely to do it | 11:05 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, nullmailer is only a set of tools used to send mail from your machine using a remote smtp sever | 11:05 |
| glebihan | *server* | 11:05 |
| m_fulder | glebihan aha but still e.g. PHPs mailfunction should work? | 11:06 |
| m_fulder | aha great glebihan that's what I need | 11:06 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, then you should be fine | 11:06 |
| spo0kz | Guys im having some problems with virtualisation as a whole, virtualbox and vmware are causing my cpu 100% usage when i run a virtualbox. Any thoughts ? | 11:06 |
| gigenieks | Okey thank you, I guess.. | 11:08 |
| gigenieks | will go to other channel | 11:08 |
| gigenieks | to crowded here, bye :) | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ravigdrk: I can give you a pastebin of my smb.conf if you want | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: not sure man, very strange indeed | 11:08 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, thinks I'm just gonna make a new user. My ubuntu installation is only a few days old. Thanks you very much for your time! | 11:08 |
| ravigdrk | yes you can do it | 11:08 |
| tr0xan | .=$ | 11:08 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, it sure is! | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: np man, very weird indeed | 11:09 |
| flecha | Is there a way to force focus to a window in GTK? I used all the methods I found... is it possible Unity is blocking it? | 11:10 |
| m_fulder | glebihan but still my simple PHP script won't let me send my mail :S .. maybe I should change something in my php.ini so the scripts will use nullmailer? I have it set to use sendmail atm :O | 11:10 |
| dddbmt_ | ActionParsnip, yeah - thanks anyway;) have a great day! | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dddbmt_: and you man | 11:10 |
| Shogoot | Hi fedora people :) Just wondering if anyone could help me finding out why i cant make a fedora 15 64 bit persistent usb stick. when it boots it says i got wrong cpu. Im running a core i7 and excecuting a fedora 15 64 bit live cd | 11:11 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: success! :) | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: sweet | 11:12 |
| dusf | i can survive with ubuntu and low graphics for a few weeks until i get the money together to build a new pc, i had thought i may have had to speak to win xp | 11:12 |
| dusf | perish the thought :) | 11:12 |
| dusf | *stick to win xp | 11:12 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, I don't think you can use directly nullmailer in php, but it should work if you symlink sendmail to nullmailer-send, eg "sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/nullmailer-send /usr/sbin/sendmail" | 11:12 |
| monty156 | hi all | 11:14 |
| m_fulder | glebihan tried that but still php fails to send my mail :( | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | hi monty156 | 11:15 |
| monty156 | just put 11.04 on my laptop. so far i think it's great. taking a bit of getting used to though. just wondered what peoples thoughts were on it? any tips? | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | monty156: keep updated is a great tip | 11:17 |
| no_face | ubuntutweek is another good tip | 11:17 |
| monty156 | i thought about tweak but unity seems pretty locked down so i didnt think there was much point | 11:18 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, did you try sending mails using directly the command-line before trying in php ? | 11:18 |

| m_fulder | glebihan when I do sudo nullmailer-send I only get Rescanning queue. and it loads forever :P | 11:21 |
| spo0kz | Does anybody here manage to use virtualbox without compromising your cpu usage ? | 11:22 |
| extor | If I want my mailserver to reside on mail.mydomain.com but I also want to be able to send mail to *@mydomina.com and *@client.mydomain.com and *@support.mydomain.com then how do I do the MX and CNAME and A entries for mydomain.com to reflect all that? | 11:22 |
| rumpe1 | spo0kz, define "compromising" | 11:23 |
| monty156 | you can all relax, im back now lol | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | spo0kz: depends on your spec, you can always tell virtualbox to use less CPU (I believe). I suggest you ask in #vbox too | 11:23 |
| spo0kz | rumpe1, anything over 50% while the virtual guest is idle | 11:23 |
| spo0kz | ActionParsnip, been to #vbox sent logs had it out for good hour or two, no joy | 11:24 |
| vkushner | I need to apt-get update an old jaunty server but all the sources seem to be gone… where can I get a sources.list for jaunty? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | spo0kz: which version of virtualbox? | 11:24 |
| spo0kz | ActionParsnip, 4.1.2 | 11:25 |
| rumpe1 | !jaunty | 11:25 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | vkushner: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=997890 | 11:25 |
| rumpe1 | vkushner, jaunty is dead | 11:25 |
| wolfric | i have a strange issue with the screen not updating sometimes. I'm not exactly sure on what level it is. So if i change workspace and then try type in a terminal or a text editor or even do something in the browser, the image stays still and i can't see anything. if i just do alt tab (even if there aren't any other windows) the changes start appearing and it's fine from then onwards | 11:25 |
| wolfric | it doesn't always happen though. i'd say every 15/20 mins? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfric: is your video chip onboard or is it on a dedicated video card? | 11:26 |
| vkushner | rumpe1: well, duh! I know its officially dead. this doesn't change the fact that I got this client with a couple years old jaunty server and I just need to install some package. | 11:26 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, I think you have to use nullmailer-queue then nullmailer-send, once again you should have a look at the manpages, also for it to work in php, you may have to edit your php.ini file and set the sendmail_path to "sendmail -t -i -f<name>@<domain>" | 11:27 |
| wolfric | ActionParsnip: onboard nvidia and i have the restricted drivers | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | vkushner: the jaunty servers are all off, you won't be able to get any packages online | 11:27 |
| vkushner | so the question is still: is there any place still hosting old jaunty repo? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfric: have you tested your RAM? | 11:27 |
| sipior | vkushner: which package? might be easier just to install from source at this point. | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | vkushner: very very unlikely | 11:27 |
| wolfric | ActionParsnip: no, you mean with a memtest right? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfric: yes, in Grub | 11:28 |
| wolfric | ActionParsnip: i seriously doubt there's a problem there but sure i'll give it a shot next time | 11:28 |
| wolfric | ActionParsnip: any other ideas in the mean time | 11:28 |
| KcGenesis | hello i am new .please any can help me what is this about | 11:28 |
| vkushner | sipior: no, thats a whole server configuration script that is running and failing. | 11:28 |
| rumpe1 | vkushner, what's the point? jaunty isn't even LTS. | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | pretty cool link: http://www.sourceslist.eu/tag/jaunty/ | 11:28 |
| spo0kz | ActionParsnip, i get high cpu usage with vmware and virtualbox, what could that mean ? | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | KcGenesis: this channel is for support. That's what it is about | 11:28 |
| sipior | vkushner: configuration script? we were talking about software packages, as i recall... | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | spo0kz: what speed etc is your CPU? | 11:29 |
| vkushner | sipior: well, there is this server configuration script that as part of its running does apt-get update and then tries to install some packages | 11:29 |
| spo0kz | ActionParsnip, its perfectly capable, its an i3 2.9ghz i run 3gb of ram | 11:29 |
| KcGenesis | ActionParsnip, thanks | 11:30 |
| sipior | vkushner: i see. | 11:30 |

| KcGenesis | ActionParsnip, one thing guys who are u guys actually | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | KcGenesis: that is moot here | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | spo0kz: I see, what destktop is the guest OS using? | 11:32 |
| spo0kz | ActionParsnip, Teh cpu hangs with backtrack and xp | 11:32 |
| rumpe1 | spo0kz, default version (which? which ubuntu?) of vbox or something more fancy? | 11:33 |
| KcGenesis | ActionParsnip, how does this chat actually works | 11:33 |
| === Roberto35 is now known as Richard| | ||
| ActionParsnip | spo0kz: hmm, not sure then personally, maybe others can advise. Have you tried a light OS like xpud/puppy etc, see if it happens there | 11:34 |
| spo0kz | rumpe1, ubuntu is 11.04 vbox is 4.1.2 nothing fancy going on here lol | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | KcGenesis: you are doing it now. You ask a support question. If people can help they will reply | 11:34 |
| m_fulder | glebihan ok I have now read through the docs for nullmailer-queue and nullmailer-send .. I have also added the -f flag to my php.ini .. but I don't get one thing in the nullmailer-queue doc. there is written I should terminate all lines with single line-feed character? Which one is that? | 11:34 |
| spo0kz | ActionParsnip, yeah man its frustrating, something is conflicting somwhere | 11:34 |
| rumpe1 | spo0kz, afair there are some options with warnings in virtualbox (3d-acceleration, etc.) which maybe cause problems. Try to deactivate as much stuff as possible and try again. | 11:35 |
| spo0kz | rumpe1, tried it all | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | spo0kz: try disabling stuff like ACPI and APIC in the vbox config | 11:36 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, it is the "\n" character | 11:36 |
| rumpe1 | spo0kz, well... do you think it's a hardware-specific problem? | 11:36 |
| m_fulder | glebihan you mean a simple line break? | 11:36 |
| spo0kz | rumpe1, no, most definitely not | 11:36 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, yes | 11:37 |
| KcGenesis | how to know which software is installed in ubuntu.?software that mostly run from terminal. | 11:37 |
| m_fulder | glebihan cause when I as in the documentation of nullmailer-queue write: senderAddress-ENTER-reciptienist-ENTER-ENTER-message-ENTER .. nothing happends :S | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | KcGenesis: how do you mean? | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | KcGenesis: you can run all comamnds from terminal, some will just spawn graphical applications | 11:38 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, well I won't be able to help you much more with nullmailer as I've never used it, but why do you want to use it anyway instead of sendmail | 11:38 |
| glebihan | ? | 11:38 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, I've been googling a bit on it and nullmailer does seem very php-friendly | 11:39 |
| glebihan | does *not* seem | 11:39 |
| KcGenesis | ActionParsnip, i mean which application doesnot have GUI and doesnot show up in menu . | 11:40 |
| m_fulder | glebihan aha weird :S maybe I should try sendmail instead then | 11:40 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, I would recommend it anyway | 11:41 |
| m_fulder | glebihan btw how can I just unlink nullmailer from sendmail now :P ? | 11:41 |
| orated | I'm getting following errors on every upgrade, installaion - debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (Dialog frontend requires a screen at least 13 lines tall and 31 columns wide.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline. What's the reson and how to fix i? | 11:41 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, just delete /usr/sbin/sendmail | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | KcGenesis: thats a LOT of commands, what do you want to achieve? | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | orated: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update | 11:42 |
| KcGenesis | ActionParsnip, i want to know which commands are there to run. or installed | 11:43 |
| rumpe1 | KcGenesis, dpkg --get-selections | grep '[^e]install$' | cut -f 1 | less | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | KcGenesis: Its very ambiguous dude | 11:44 |
| spo0kz | rumpe1, if vmware and virtualbox are producing the same problem, what on gods earth could that mean to you ? | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | rumpe1: s/he wants the ones which don't fire a GUI app | 11:44 |
| glebihan | rumpe1, that'll give package names not commands | 11:45 |
| rumpe1 | KcGenesis, what problem do you want to solve (effectively) or it this more a theoretical question? | 11:46 |
| spo0kz | rumpe1, could it have been the kernel update that recently came through ? | 11:46 |
| rumpe1 | KcGenesis, i really have absolutely no idea, in which situations such a list would be helpful | 11:47 |
| rumpe1 | spo0kz, maybe. You could try older kernels, if you have any. | 11:48 |
| KcGenesis | rumpe1, not actually few month ago i installed a security application and i can't remember its name and and i have no idea how find it that why. | 11:48 |
| glebihan | KcGenesis, what was that application doing ? | 11:49 |
| rumpe1 | KcGenesis, well... you could search with "apropos <term>" with word=security or something relevant ... or "aptitude search <term>", or "apt-cache search <term>"... | 11:50 |
| === richard is now known as Guest53740 | ||
| KcGenesis | glebihan, that was a ip/portscanner | 11:50 |
| Guest53740 | hi yall | 11:51 |
| rumpe1 | KcGenesis, try "apt-cache search portscan" | 11:51 |
| orated | ActionParsnip: Sorry, I lost connection. I'll pastebin what you asked for in a moment | 11:52 |
| glebihan | KcGenesis, or variant "apt-cache search port | grep scan" "apt-cache search scan | grep port"... | 11:52 |
| spo0kz | rumpe1, well luckily this is all set up on an external hard drive, i use clonezilla but only have a clone of this new kernel update, might try reinstalling ubuntu and see if it still lags idk, seems like alot of work just to play poker | 11:53 |
| spo0kz | cloning more often seems wise | 11:53 |
| spo0kz | gonna go for a bacon butty first | 11:53 |

| glebihan | spo0kz, the bot disagrees | 11:54 |
| spo0kz | i noticed ... | 11:55 |
| rumpe1 | spo0kz, grub stores per default more than one kernel... except you have customized the config. | 11:56 |
| orated | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/pNwyrYd6 . I don't see it on update but on upgrades followed by installation | 11:56 |
| spo0kz | rumpe1, yeah clonezilla did that right | 11:56 |
| spo0kz | rumpe1, im running of a restore as i stand | 11:56 |
| KcGenesis | thanks guys it worked..one thing what is difference between "aptitude search<term>" and "apt-cache search" | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | orated: can youu pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get upgrade please | 11:57 |
| spo0kz | brb commiting suicide | 11:57 |
| rumpe1 | KcGenesis, aptitude is a higher level interface to APT than apt-cache, which only queries the cache, but apt-cache is faster. | 11:58 |

| Night-Hacks | wonder why it calls LTS !!! | 12:09 |

| root-jr | th0r: i can't open it | 12:11 |
| auronandace | !latest | Night-Hacks | 12:11 |
| ubottu | Night-Hacks: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

I have a linux server, ubuntu installed, and I forgot the password for my only account in the system. root password is not set, and when selecting recovery mode in grub, and going to root shell, it asks me for the root password - which is not set afaik.

| Guest12234 | ylmfos? | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest12234: its another Ubuntu spinoff thing | 12:53 |
| LABcrab | Feldegast: What is k3b? Text-based? | 12:53 |
| ylmfos | just consider it ubuntu, for 3.0 is kind of purely ubuntu, just some themes and stuff like that :) ... | 12:53 |
| Guest95319 | 3G to edge and edge to 3G .....? | 12:53 |
| ylmfos | what can i do?... terminal stuff, or whatever?... | 12:54 |
| Feldegast | LABcrab k3b is a cd buyrning application for linux | 12:54 |
| Guest12234 | yeah, got it ! | 12:54 |
| LABcrab | Guest95319: Move away from the edge or else you will fall! | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ylmfos: it's not supported here, this is ubuntu support only. The multitude of other spinoffs are equally not supported here | 12:54 |
| === nik is now known as Guest89628 | ||
| ActionParsnip | ylmfos: this includes (but is not limited to): backtrack, mint, gnewsense, moonOS and so on | 12:54 |

| Guest12234 | ActionParsnip, i want my ubuntu faster , how should i do? | 12:55 |
| Feldegast | LABcrab if you want to boot the 700mb iso from usb a 2gb usb is big enough | 12:55 |
| LABcrab | Guest95319: Go to the network icon, modify connexions. | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ylmfos: mint isn't supported here either | 12:55 |
| ylmfos | i understand... | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ylmfos: thanks | 12:55 |
| tsimpson | ylmfos: we have no clue what changes were/wern't made to ylmf, so we wouldn't know how to help anyway | 12:55 |
| Guest12234 | ylmfos is a nick of someone | 12:56 |
| ylmfos | can you at least give me some ubuntu konsole cmds to check if it detects somehow the hdd, just that i didn't find them?... | 12:56 |
| LABcrab | Guest95319: When you modify your connexions you can change it to 2G only. | 12:56 |
| Jensit | xubuntu is supported here right? | 12:56 |
| LABcrab | Jensit: #xubuntu | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Jensit: yes, it is an official canonical release | 12:56 |
| Guest12234 | possibly | 12:56 |
| Jensit | okay thanks :) | 12:56 |
| Feldegast | ylmfos if it is mounted, then you can use df -h | 12:56 |
| ylmfos | no, it is not mounted. i mean something like fdisk or dd ... | 12:57 |
| LABcrab | Jensit: No worries. :) #ubuntu is good if it's not xubuntu-specific, but Xubuntu's been bloaty over the years. | 12:57 |
| tsimpson | ylmfos: in general, look for /dev/sd*, and "sudo fdisk -l" to list all disks and partitions | 12:57 |
| LABcrab | Guest95319: Where are you? | 12:57 |
| winut | is amarok worth installing? thanks | 12:57 |
| Guest95319 | My dear frnd LABcrab wen signals r lost in one mode then again on restarting it don't change the mode...untill same signals are available | 12:57 |
| ylmfos | lol, fdisk -l doesn't list anything :) ... | 12:58 |
| Guest95319 | M in india | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | winut: if you want amarok, then yes | 12:58 |
| Jensit | LABcrab: im just looking for a channel to give support for xubuntu users ;) | 12:58 |
| Guest95319 | LABcrab | 12:58 |
| winut | wow, thanks :-) | 12:58 |
| Guest12234 | you should use this command as a root | 12:58 |
| Guest95319 | LABcrab m in india | 12:58 |

| LABcrab | Guest95319: Have you changed the settings so that it does 2G only or 3G only? | 12:58 |
| Guest95319 | Yes | 12:58 |
| Guest12234 | let me see | 12:58 |

| Guest95319 | I wrk in embedded systems will it work there ActionParsnip | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ylmfos: you do realise you can install a proper ubuntu then run a script to make the OS look like XP.... | 13:00 |
| alks | cameron_, try boot-repair | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest95319: sure, as long as it and all it's dependencies are installed | 13:01 |
| Guest95319 | Thanx | 13:01 |
| ylmfos | you think it will detect the hdd?... :) 'cause i`d try that if so :) | 13:01 |
| ylmfos | also, i have a dual core with 2 gb ram, which version of ubuntu you recommend?... | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ylmfos: i'd say try it | 13:01 |
| Guest95319 | OpenCV can be cross compiled for an arm processor | 13:02 |

| alks | cameron_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ylmfos: using spinoffs like that isn't too smart. The community for Ubuntu dwarfs any other, and I'm sure you want good support from more users... | 13:02 |
| Guest95319 | Any dedicated channel server for embedde linux or simply linux | 13:02 |

| VictorCl2 | didnt know it was that long | 13:09 |
| chewed-on | Uh…that's a bit of a false advertisement here: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu "With Ubuntu, you can do everything you can do with other operating systems. But faster. And for free!" | 13:09 |
| hiwk | I recently installed ubuntu 11, and sometimes the unity bar (?) gets messed up (graphics get stuck on it, needs a refresh from buffer), how can I force it to re-draw without logging out from X? | 13:10 |
| hiwk | I bet it really is a nvidia driver issue, but it seems easier to mitigate than to fix | 13:11 |
| chroot | VictorCl2, can u tell me what you want to do | 13:11 |
| VictorCl2 | to do about what? | 13:11 |
| chroot | means , your problem | 13:11 |
| VictorCl2 | ahh. well update manager tells me that | 13:12 |
| VictorCl2 | Requires installation of untrusted packages | 13:12 |
| VictorCl2 | I dont know what to do | 13:12 |
| chroot | oh , maybe you want to update your sys , and the issue occurs | 13:12 |
| chroot | right? | 13:13 |
| VictorCl2 | no the update manager pop ups telling me that there are updates | 13:13 |
| VictorCl2 | when I click .. Update .. it tells me that | 13:13 |
| chroot | i have met them before | 13:13 |
| chroot | first , type this command in a console | 13:14 |
| chroot | sudo apt-get update | 13:14 |

| LABcrab | What is the point of a FloodBot? | 13:14 |
| chroot | this will refresh your source list | 13:14 |
| chroot | it is safe | 13:15 |
| compdoc | a bot that floods the feilds so you can grow your crops | 13:15 |
| auronandace | LABcrab: to prevent people flooding the channel | 13:15 |
| hiwk | if anyone answers my question (force re-draw of unity bar), please higlight me | 13:15 |
| chroot | i'd like to | 13:16 |
| chroot | hiwk , tell me how highlight you | 13:16 |
| cameron_ | I see the bit where it is finding OSs, and it simply doesn't SEE windows at all | 13:16 |
| hiwk | chroot: like that :) | 13:16 |
| cameron_ | however, i can pick it out of the /sda/1 things | 13:16 |

| chroot | ok , tell me what is your problem | 13:17 |
| hiwk | chroot: do you happen to know how to force a re-drawof the unity bar/interface when it gets messed up? | 13:17 |
| chroot | here | 13:17 |
| alks | cameron_, sry i am not expert :/ when i had problems with dual boot, i played with boot repair and it fixed everything | 13:17 |
| cameron_ | alks: bummer - thanks | 13:18 |
| hiwk | chroot: I suspect that it really is a nvidia driver problem, but it seems easier to mtigiate than to fix | 13:18 |
| Jensit | hiwk: give me a sec i think i found something on ubuntuusers.de | 13:18 |
| chroot | and what problem u enconter | 13:18 |

| cameron_ | chroot: 11.04 | 13:21 |
| chroot | cameron_, are u install the ubuntu first on your computer | 13:22 |
| hiwk | doriad: 'apt-file search kde4-config0 willl give you kdelibs-bin' | 13:22 |
| chroot | wsagent, download tweet through the internet explore | 13:23 |
| hiwk | doriad: hm, I failed that paste :) executing 'apt-file search kde4-config' will point you to the package 'kdelibs-bin' | 13:23 |
| Pici | wsagent: Install the adobeair package, and then download the tweetdeck air app from their website. | 13:23 |
| cameron_ | chroot: yes | 13:23 |
| etfb | Is there a way to tell if ACPI is working properly on my laptop? I suspect it isn't, which is why many things are currently not working. | 13:23 |
| tsimpson | doriad: why not just install kdevelop? | 13:23 |
| wsagent | Thanks Pici and Chroot | 13:23 |
| chroot | cameron_, and u install the windows afterward | 13:23 |
| cameron_ | chroot: oh no, Windows was first, ubuntu came afterwards | 13:24 |

| chroot | yeah | 13:30 |
| chroot | there is a grub.cfg in /etc | 13:31 |

| chroot | just add a windows entry in this file | 13:31 |
| auronandace | chroot: grub.cfg shouldn't be edited directly | 13:32 |
| bazhang | chroot, thats not correct | 13:32 |
| cameron_ | yeah | 13:32 |
| cameron_ | and i already wrote the function | 13:32 |
| bazhang | !grub2 | chroot please have a read | 13:32 |
| ubottu | chroot please have a read: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| auronandace | chroot: you either want /etc/default/grub or the individual files in /etc/grub.d/ | 13:32 |
| chroot | i know , the offical document said too , | 13:32 |
| cameron_ | i wrote a function to add it.. and it looks like it does.. but then i get "signuatre reror" | 13:32 |
| cameron_ | I added an individual file to /etc/grub.d | 13:33 |
| bazhang | chroot, the wiki says do not edit that directly, very explicitly | 13:33 |

| cameron_ | this is my windows partitoin | 13:35 |
| cameron_ | it's the second one down and has a asterisk under BOOT | 13:35 |
| cameron_ | is that (hd0,1) or (hd0,2) (regardless, I already tried both of those | 13:35 |
| chroot | who | 13:35 |
| csu010245 | I have a running printer - works fine with lp - I need to send things directly to it, I assumed I could just send to /dev/lp0 but this is not the case, how do I do it | 13:38 |
| chroot | cameron, there is a one way , find a ubuntu livecd , using it , and reboot your sys , and then fix your grub right | 13:38 |
| zagibu | i think (hd0,1) should be correct in your case for sda2 | 13:39 |

| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: you'll need a 3rd party ppa | 13:52 |
| chroot | markitoxs, i think there is something in your ssh config file , read it , | 13:52 |
| silverarrow | clever Parsnip | 13:53 |
| chroot | markitoxs, and also search ssh with ubuntu in google | 13:53 |
| silverarrow | !! | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: what is the output of the command I gave? | 13:53 |
| markitoxs | chroot, the host machine you mean? because i am trying to ssh from different machines and still experiencing the same issue, so i assume its the host that has a problem | 13:53 |
| silverarrow | natty | 13:54 |
| silverarrow | ActionParsnip natty | 13:54 |
| chroot | yes , ssh server is on host , and u shoul check out host | 13:54 |

| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:chimerarevo/vlc/ubuntu; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:54 |
| dreich | silverarrow, I agree. ActionParsnip natty. | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: I can suggest ditching VLC (unless you need one of it's features) and use gnome-mplayer | 13:55 |
| chroot | yeah , gnom mplayer is great | 13:56 |
| chroot | Ramses, hi | 13:56 |
| silverarrow | ActionParsnip, something is happening !! | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: read the screen, you can see the version being installed | 13:58 |
| silverarrow | ActionParsnip, I would, but in my experience gnome can't handle everything, so I go for both Gone and vlc | 13:58 |
| chroot | ActionParsnip, are u installed vlc the same time | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: same, I only use vlc for the remote control via my Android phone | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | chroot: sure why not :) | 13:59 |
| zagibu | chroot: if you want it even faster, get an SSD | 13:59 |
| chroot | ActionParsnip, i just wonder. | 13:59 |
| zagibu | <10 sec boot of ubuntu for me | 13:59 |
| chroot | zagibu, what is ssd | 13:59 |
| zagibu | solid state disk | 13:59 |

| bazhang | chroot, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic Ubuntu support only here. | 14:03 |
| JWelch | Have rebooted, killed/restarted Empathy, and searched, but haven't found a fix - is this the right place to check on that? | 14:04 |

| skim1776 | it's not livecd but minimal-iso | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | skim1776: ok, did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 14:08 |
| JWelch | So, to answer the question more directly, personal preference. It's worked for over a year, so I'm curious as to what may have changed over the weekend. | 14:08 |
| skim1776 | yes, md5 is the same as in the repository | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: for a media player, not at all | 14:08 |
| matariel | does empathy work with a skype account? | 14:08 |
| silverarrow | <ActionParsnip, I have to do some thinking then, hmm | 14:08 |

| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: what is the output of: apt-cache policy vlc us a pastebin to hold the text | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | skim1776: is the system set to boot USB first? | 14:09 |
| vtt4 | materiel, i don't think so | 14:09 |
| auronandace | matariel: no, only skype does | 14:09 |
| lestat | hi folks | 14:09 |
| auronandace | matariel: skype is closed source | 14:09 |
| skim1776 | ActionParsnip, of couse, the process is being started but then endless loop goes | 14:10 |
| vtt4 | JWelch, do you know emesene? | 14:10 |
| lestat | it seems the command add-apt-repository is broken concerning proxy etc. I'm trying to use it over a socks proxy but it just fails as you can see here http://pastebin.com/vmFjQ5n1 | 14:10 |

| ActionParsnip | mah454: depends which apps you intend to use, if you use more KDE apps then use KDE, if you use Gnome apps then use Gnome | 14:18 |
| rypervenche | I agree. Unity and KDE are not my type. Xfce or Gnone 2.x | 14:18 |

| rypervenche | ActionParsnip: I know, it's a shell interface, but I still don't like it. To each his own though.^^ | 14:21 |
| silverarrow | Dans326, really weird | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | rypervenche: but then you can't say you prefer gnome 2.x ...makes no sense | 14:22 |
| rypervenche | ActionParsnip: Gnome 2.x without Unity, I sure can. | 14:22 |
| hobbel | hey there, i completely destroyed my wifi capability's. How can i restore it to the default drivers etc. Tried to get ndiswrapper running due to slow wifi speed bug (Intel 3945) but right now I have no wifi at all | 14:23 |
| silverarrow | ActionParsnip; worked !!!! | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rypervenche: unity desktop which is installed i Ubuntu USES gnome 2, it just has the extra shell. You need a DE to be running to get Unity, the default DE is Gnome 2.x in Natty | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | silverarrow: cool | 14:23 |
| silverarrow | Dans326 : something is definitely messing up | 14:23 |
| Dans326 | silverarrow so Ive basically given up on figuring out what she is doing to it and just looking for a quick fix for it. So is there a way to just install everything and then clone the HD to my server and then later restore using network boot | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rypervenche: when you use Ubuntu Classic, the unity shell doesn't run and Gnome panel runs instead. Both use Gnome 2.x | 14:24 |
| auronandace | hobbel: slow wifi? i use the same wifi, works fine for me | 14:24 |

| pixel_shift | @hobbel Have you tried finding drivers for the chipset on the card and not the card itself? | 14:33 |
| hobbel | pixel_shift it has the right driver for the wifi chipset, and hardware has been found | 14:33 |
| Dans326 | silverarrow: I dont know about that but my wife cannot wear digital watches they never last more than a week or so even with coating the metal portions with nail polish | 14:34 |
| pixel_shift | @hobbel Some other drivers for other cards may work (Thats what I had to use ndiswrapper for in 8.04) if they have the same chipset as your card. | 14:34 |

| tensorpudding | it will be gnome 3 underneath, but use the unity panel/launcher/dash | 15:03 |
| tensorpudding | on 11.04, unity on gnome 2 is default, with a fallback to gnome 2 | 15:04 |

Somewhere in there, the connections manager 'lost' eth0 (not on the list), and now when the computer boots I need to run 'ifup eth0' manually - works fine from there. This is a box with no keyboard or mouse, so a bit problematic. Any ideas? | 15:10 |

| Aer | Hi I was wondering if anyone is available to give me a hand with the ubuntu "Remote Desktop Viewer" as I have a small problem with ? | 15:59 |
| chewed-on | the live cd for ubuntu seems to show it no problem | 15:59 |
| chewed-on | not sure what's up with the one I installed to virtual box | 15:59 |
| iceroot_ | chewed-on: vbox-nonfree? usb enabled? sounds like the general usb-vbox issue. please use #vbox | 15:59 |
| iceroot_ | !ask | Aer | 15:59 |
| ubottu | Aer: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 15:59 |
| chewed-on | virtual box is free isn't it ? | 15:59 |
| gdea73 | well anyway, can anyone tell me why my computer talks to me? it's kind of creeping me out :P | 15:59 |
| Aer | the ubuntu machine im trying to connect to shows in the remote desktop preferences | 16:00 |
| Aer | "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address " | 16:00 |
| iceroot_ | chewed-on: #vbox, the free version doesnt support usb, the nonfree version supports usb | 16:00 |
| krux | HAL | 16:00 |
| Aer | now does that mean when i leave home tomorrow I will not be able to connect to my ubuntu PC using my Ubuntu laptop ? cus it isnt on the same network anymore ? | 16:00 |

| sprung | Hello, After mush reluctance to upgrade to Ubuntu Natty I finally did it, and am encountering two problems: 1) I have to reinstall my NVIDIA driver on every reboot of the system from the command line, it is extremely annoying and even after killing gdm completely and installing the driver and starting gdm, then rebooting, I have to do it again and 2) my Synergy desktop will flicker for about 1 second every time i switch desktops, which is unacceptable. nvid | 16:00 |
| sprung | ia 280.13 | 16:00 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, FYI but the free/non-free VBoxs have been merged (obviously not yet in Ubuntu repos) | 16:00 |
| sprung | please help | 16:01 |
| genii-around | silverarrow: The vlc ppa page top right shows some "failed to build", but it should still try to pull the last good one | 16:01 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: so the free one supports usb now? | 16:01 |
| silverarrow | iceroot, still a bit difficult, http://pastebin.com/qWEbuGiu | 16:01 |
| Aer | anyone know if my "Remote Desktop Viewer" message is normal and will work when im away from home ? | 16:01 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, from the site yes - there is no "free one" anymore, just one version now | 16:01 |
| chewed-on | i was hoping to install ubutnu onto my virtual box so I can mount my external hard drive because Mac is unable to mount it. | 16:01 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: oracle...... | 16:01 |
| silverarrow | <genii-around>, i see, thanks | 16:01 |
| cwood | chewed-on: What filesystem is the external drive? | 16:01 |
| chewed-on | ntfs | 16:02 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, seems out of place for Oracle to do something right for a change ;) | 16:02 |
| iceroot_ | silverarrow: i dont see an error | 16:02 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: they destroy every free software... openoffice, vbox, java... | 16:02 |
| cwood | chewed-on: There's an "ntfs" kernel module. If you enable that with "modprobe ntfs" you might be able to mount that drive. | 16:02 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: ksplice | 16:02 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, oh, i hear ya! | 16:03 |
| chewed-on | cwood: kinda disappointing how fat 32 is windows and ntfs is also windows but can't be written to like how fat 32 can. | 16:03 |
| Aer | "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address " means I cant access my computer remotely with remote desktop viewer away from home ? | 16:03 |
| cwood | chewed-on: or, "sudo modprobe ntfs". | 16:03 |
| gdea73 | why is speech-dispatcher running when I open Sound Preferences?! | 16:03 |
| iceroot_ | chewed-on: its not a ntfs issue | 16:03 |
| chewed-on | cwood: I'll get it a shot and see. | 16:03 |
| iceroot_ | chewed-on: i already told you why you dont see the drive | 16:03 |
| chewed-on | I had to modprobe that kernel on gentoo linux too, I remember that | 16:03 |
| cwood | iceroot_: Aha, wasn't following along. Didn't think the drive was unavailable. | 16:04 |
| Aer | How can I make Remote Desktop Viewer in Ubuntu work over internet instead of just local home network ? I have forwrded the 5900 port on my router still no luck | 16:04 |
| chewed-on | modprobe command not found | 16:04 |
| silverarrow | iceroot, genii-around, gdea73, VLC is working !! ;- ) | 16:04 |
| iceroot_ | chewed-on: sudo but again!!! that is not the problem | 16:04 |
| gdea73 | silverarrow: great | 16:04 |
| iceroot_ | chewed-on: you are using the "wrong" version of vbox which doesnt support usb | 16:04 |
| chewed-on | iceroot_: I did type sudo! I just pasted the error it returned | 16:05 |
| gdea73 | but, @everyone: "Welcome to orca. Current desktop environment is classic gnome." it says this when I open sound preferences. | 16:05 |
| iceroot_ | chewed-on: and you dont need to modprobe anything to write on ntfs | 16:05 |
| edbian | Aer: If you nmap your public IP address do you see 5900 open? | 16:05 |

| edbian | Aer: In the output of nmap | 16:06 |
| edbian | Aer: Have you ever used nmap? | 16:06 |
| Aer | ive never used nmap :s | 16:06 |
| sprung | www.nmap.org read | 16:06 |
| edbian | Aer: install it: sudo apt-get install nmap | 16:06 |
| Aer | ok | 16:06 |
| Aer | ok ill install now | 16:06 |
| Mkaysi_ | Zenmap could be easier | 16:06 |
| edbian | Aer: then what we want to do is : nmap <public ip> It's output is pretty clear I think. | 16:06 |
| chewed-on | iceroot_: fdisk -l would show the hard drive it vbox free version had support for it. | 16:06 |
| Mkaysi_ | It's GUI for nmap. | 16:06 |
| Aer | ok | 16:07 |
| Aer | ill go do it now | 16:07 |
| sprung | Mkaysi_, wow, fail | 16:07 |
| chewed-on | I know how to mount the hard drive on linux with write permission | 16:07 |
| chewed-on | this channel is very laggy... | 16:07 |
| Aer | im assuming nmap on the computer i want to connect to right ? just making sure lol | 16:07 |
| iceroot_ | chewed-on: if you dont see the drive with fdisk -l you cant mount the drive because its not there | 16:07 |
| edbian | Aer: nmap on the computer you're using to nmap | 16:07 |
| edbian | Aer: Umm, this isn't clear :P | 16:07 |
| sprung | nmap is a port scanner, Aer. it just helps find port connectivity problems. | 16:07 |
| edbian | Aer: no. You want nmap on some other computer | 16:08 |
| Aer | ok | 16:08 |
| edbian | Aer: I suppose is really doesn't matter | 16:08 |
| Aer | ok | 16:08 |
| iceroot_ | Aer: if you want to access your ubuntu over the internet you have to use port-forwarding in your router | 16:08 |
| sprung | i'm going to ask for help in #linux i'm not getting what i need here | 16:08 |
| edbian | iceroot_: he knows, we're checking using nmap | 16:08 |
| iceroot_ | edbian: ah ok, because someone said use nmap on the local machine | 16:08 |
| Aer | yeah, i have forwarded the port 5900 but the remote desktop viewer still says its only connetable on the local network | 16:09 |
| edbian | iceroot_: I guess it doesn't matter right? He wants to nmap the public IP | 16:09 |
| iceroot_ | sprung: feel free to do so | 16:09 |
| edbian | Aer: The gui doesn't know what it's talking about | 16:09 |
| somethinginteres | why does GPGDir ask for the name of the recipient over and over again how do I use -r to tell it that each file goes to the one person? | 16:09 |
| Aer | lol | 16:09 |
| edbian | Aer: ignore that, have nmap yet? | 16:09 |
| iceroot_ | edbian: no the router is seeing that the wan ip is maped to itself | 16:09 |
| Aer | yup just installed it | 16:09 |
| iceroot_ | edbian: so its a lan request | 16:09 |
| sprung | iceroot_, thank you for your permission | 16:09 |
| iceroot_ | edbian: let me correct, most routers act like that | 16:09 |
| iceroot_ | edbian: so you have to use nmap outside from the lan | 16:10 |

| edbian | iceroot_: yeah, but the request is going to a public IP so it at least ends up at the outside of his LAN | 16:14 |
| iceroot_ | edbian: no because of the nat | 16:14 |
| edbian | Aer: port 5900 is not open (because it isn't listed) | 16:14 |

| Aer | my router is set to allow for 5900 though :s | 16:14 |

| fasta | Currently it takes 5 _minutes_ to boot my system, not seconds. | 16:15 |
| edbian | Aer: What address does it forward 5900 too? | 16:15 |
| edbian | iceroot_: His nmap would indicate that 5900 was open if you are right correct? | 16:15 |
| iceroot_ | edbian: the router knows that the public_ip is himself. because of that thr reuqest is NOT leaving the lan | 16:15 |

| === zz_RobinJ is now known as RobinJ | ||
| edbian | Aer: It doesn't work like that. You have to tell the router (when you get a request for 5900 send it to ip address X). I think you're allowing 5900 requests to go out (which is fine) | 16:16 |
| zykotick9 | sprung, 280.13 doesn't appear to be the natty version, did you install directly from nvidia.com? | 16:16 |

| iceroot_ | Aer: you have to to something like 5900 on 192.168.0.2:5900 5901 on 192.168.0.3:5900 and so on | 16:22 |

| edbian | Aer: I agree | 16:25 |

| benwork | I have ubuntu 11.04 installed, and it works fine in ubuntu classic mode. I have ATI with proprietary drivers installed with 2 monitors, both in single display mode. The issue is one display (the non-primary one) opens apps ala unity style with the title bar being part of the top bar, how can I styop this? | 16:37 |
| benwork | gr33n7007h, cat /etc/services |grep 1001 | 16:37 |

| tystr | I'm running ubuntu server 10.04....I just did a apt-get dist-upgrade....now, I've got broken php packages :( | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Jojo__: what video chip do you use? | 17:04 |
| zykotick9 | calwig, 8.04 isn't supported any longer | 17:04 |
| \n | But won't I have to cut out of the windows driver? I think this is what's been causing my problem. You mean nobody's written an open source Ubuntu compatible driver? I think every Acer out there uses Broadcom... | 17:04 |
| \l | tystr: Next time, use aptitude for a full upgrade like that. | 17:05 |
| doriad | everything that uses opengl seems to be horribly slow on my new 11.04 install. I'm using the nvidia driver that ubuntu recommend I install | 17:05 |
| \l | tystr: Try opening aptitude, and see if it can resolve your dependency problems. | 17:05 |
| tystr | \l: what do you mean? I used apt-get | 17:05 |
| \l | tystr: run "sudo aptitude -u" | 17:05 |
| zykotick9 | \l, aptitude isn't included in ubuntu by default! | 17:05 |
| \l | tystr: It has a text user interface. | 17:05 |
| Slart | doriad: it might be using the nouveaeu driver instead of the nvidia binary driver | 17:05 |
| \l | zykotick9: I assume he uses ubuntu-server, since he's talking about PHP. | 17:06 |
| ActionParsnip | doriad: can you pastebin the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep nvidia | 17:06 |
| Jojo__ | ActionParsnip: i have an hd5770 | 17:06 |
| doriad | Slart, how would I check? | 17:06 |
| glebihan | flametai1, installing libavcodec-extra-52 might help | 17:06 |
| zykotick9 | \l, i doubt it's there either... | 17:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Jojo__: try uninstalling the ati driver then reinstalling it, often proprietary drivers do not survive release upgrades | 17:06 |
| Slart | doriad: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | more see if it mentions what driver it is using | 17:06 |
| Slart | doriad: it should be near the top | 17:06 |
| tystr | It's nothing I can't fix by downgrading php, but I don't understand why it would upgrade php, but not be able to upgrade, for example, the php5-intl package | 17:07 |
| \l | zykotick9: It is. Of course it's on the server install. | 17:07 |
| Jojo__ | ActionParsnip: i'm a little noobish with linux codes and stuff, could you please tell me how? | 17:07 |
| tystr | php5-intl : Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9) but 5.3.3-1ubuntu9 is to be installed | 17:07 |
| doriad | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/U8QPgHww | 17:07 |
| tystr | even doing sudo apt-get -t maverick install php5-intl gives the same error... | 17:07 |
| \l | tystr: This is after running an update of the apt-cache as well (-u?)? | 17:08 |
| Slart | doriad: there should be some lines that look like (==) Matched nvidia as autoconfigured driver 0 and more lines for other drivers | 17:08 |
| tystr | \l: apt-get update ? | 17:08 |
| doriad | Slart, http://pastebin.com/5Z0B6xjP | 17:09 |
| tystr | i did that before issuing the upgrade command | 17:09 |
| \l | tystr: Yes, same thing. Opening aptitude, does it recommend anything at the bottom to fix the issue? | 17:09 |
| doriad | Slart, I don't see that | 17:09 |
| \l | tystr: It would have a red notice saying "Recommend X keeps" or "X installs" or similar. | 17:09 |

| doriad | Slart, in the NVIDIA server settings it says 270.41.06 | 17:14 |

| salvatore | http://paste.ubuntu.com/672630/ | 18:00 |
| glebihan | salvatore, ok I think I see where the problem comes from | 18:01 |
| glebihan | salvatore, why did you change the location of the database files ? | 18:01 |
| salvatore | because i am trying to move tahta folder on dropbox | 18:01 |
| salvatore | to share whit other machines | 18:02 |
| glebihan | salvatore, ok then could you check if all files in your data folder are owned by mysql ? | 18:02 |
| salvatore | how? | 18:02 |
| FonRithirong | hi, how do you give all the resource of your CPU to a specific program? | 18:03 |
| glebihan | salvatore, sudo ls -l /home/sanet/Dropbox/Localhost/database | 18:03 |
| glebihan | salvatore, if there not owned by mysql, you'll have to run "sudo chown mysql:mysql -R /home/sanet/Dropbox/Localhost/database" | 18:03 |
| h00k | FonRithirong: it's not a good idea to give all to a specific program, what are you trying to do? | 18:04 |
| glebihan | salvatore, anyway, you'll also have to edit /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld in order to allow mysql to access that folder | 18:04 |
| salvatore | yes i did it | 18:04 |
| h00k | !nice | FonRithirong | 18:04 |
| ubottu | FonRithirong: 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. | 18:04 |
| glebihan | salvatore, editing /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld ? | 18:05 |
| steinem | Hi, So I've installed ubuntu and xubuntu previously, and have had the wireless settings working right out of the box. Now, it doesn't even recognize my network card. I have a thinkpad t410 2516-CTO machine. Can anyone help? | 18:05 |
| glebihan | salvatore, or changing the permissions ? | 18:05 |
| salvatore | editin apparmor i mean | 18:05 |
| glebihan | salvatore, ok so did you get to check the permissions ? | 18:05 |
| sharp66 | steinem, was it enabled during install? | 18:06 |
| FonRithirong | h00k, trying to run gnuradio/usrp, i'm getting an overrun but my cpu usage is only +10% for it | 18:06 |
| sharp66 | steinman, more importantly, is it enabled now? | 18:06 |
| steinem | it is not enabled now | 18:07 |
| steinem | ive tried lspci | 18:07 |
| J466 | how do i do this ? b. Add the following line to /etc/profile | 18:07 |
| J466 | export PATH=$PATH:/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-linux/bin/:/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc/bin/ | 18:07 |
| sharp66 | steinman, does it show up in ifconfig? | 18:07 |
| zRomayn | team, i'm having an issue where i cannot delete the /etc/group-, /etc/sghost-, /etc/passwd- files in ubuntu natty narwhal | 18:08 |
| zRomayn | i have tried it with sudo rm -v command and just get permission denied | 18:08 |
| glebihan | salvatore, ? | 18:08 |
| steinem | no wlan0 | 18:08 |
| Tadcrazio | I can't export my songs in clementine as m3u, anyone else? | 18:08 |
| Pici | zRomayn: Why do you want to delete those files? | 18:08 |
| salvatore | yes i am pasting the result on pastebin | 18:08 |
| salvatore | so you can see | 18:08 |
| steinem | eth0 and lo are only enabled | 18:09 |
| sharp66 | steinman, is the hardware light on (on the computer) | 18:09 |
| glebihan | salvatore, ok | 18:09 |
| zRomayn | Pici - that's because i assigned myself to the root group and removed myself from the default groups | 18:09 |
| prower | hello everyone :> i have a netbook that has windows xp and ubuntu on it, but at present the option to boot into windows isn't working...could anyone tell me how i could remove grub as the bootloader? | 18:09 |
| salvatore | http://paste.ubuntu.com/672633/ | 18:09 |
| steinem | no it is not | 18:09 |
| Pici | zRomayn: That doesn't explain why you would want to remove those files though. | 18:10 |
| salvatore | i am trying to work with 2 pc | 18:10 |
| glebihan | salvatore, run "sudo chown mysql:mysql -R /home/sanet/Dropbox/Localhost/database" | 18:10 |
| sharp66 | steinem, can you turn it on with the switch or Fn-F5? | 18:10 |
| salvatore | Salvatore-pc is windows machine, sanet is Ubuntu | 18:11 |
| glebihan | salvatore, and you want to share the database between them ? | 18:11 |
| zRomayn | Pici - it is because those files are locking the files /etc/group, /etc/sghost, and /etc/passwd | 18:11 |
| salvatore | yes.. | 18:11 |
| steinem | sharp66, no i cannot | 18:11 |
| keyboardtalk | How to create a cron task to execute x amount of time after a reboot? | 18:11 |
| zRomayn | pici - so i cannot assign myself to the default groups | 18:11 |
| steinem | it does not work | 18:11 |
| glebihan | salvatore, you really (I mean really) don't want to do that | 18:11 |
| Pici | zRomayn: Are you not using usermod? | 18:12 |
| steinem | sharp66, where is the switch? | 18:12 |
| salvatore | why not? | 18:12 |
| zRomayn | pici - yes, i am | 18:12 |
| sharp66 | steinem, usually on the edge of the laptop | 18:12 |
| Pici | zRomayn: With sudo? | 18:12 |
| sharp66 | my t60 and w520 both have it on the front | 18:12 |
| zykotick9 | keyboardtalk, to my knowledge "cron" can't schedule based on events like that - I believe it's only time based | 18:12 |
| glebihan | salvatore, because database files should never be shared between several serverse | 18:12 |
| zRomayn | Pici - if i try sudo usermode i get the following "romayn is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported" | 18:13 |
| Matt_799 | where do i type sudu commands? | 18:13 |
| steinem | sharp it's on | 18:13 |
| steinem | i'm going to try to install the drivers using ndisgtk | 18:13 |
| glebihan | salvatore, plus, from what I've seen you're also trying to sync those files some way, but the correct permissions will never be set that way | 18:14 |
| Pici | zRomayn: Is your user not the one that was first created at install time, or has something happened to your group permissions? | 18:14 |
| glebihan | salvatore, the good way to do it would be to configure one of your computers to allow remote access from the other, and use a remote mysql connection | 18:14 |
| salvatore | mmm..i see...i thought that it might have been useful because i work on different machine | 18:14 |
| zfefreeasinbeer | anybody with a macbookpro? | 18:14 |
| sharp66 | stienem, was it off? | 18:14 |
| glebihan | salvatore, see my last post | 18:14 |
| zRomayn | Pici - yeah, i removed myself from the default groups by playing with the usermod command | 18:15 |
| thebishop | I get "Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server" when connecting to a windows7 shared folder. How can I debug this? | 18:15 |
| Pici | zRomayn: If you boot to the recovery console you should be able to use usermod to put yourself back into groups. | 18:15 |
| zRomayn | Pici - so here are the groups that i'm now "uid=1000(romayn) gid=1000(romayn) groups=1000(romayn),0(root) | 18:15 |
| zRomayn | " | 18:15 |
| steinem | sharp66, it was not off | 18:16 |
| zRomayn | Pici - and how do i boot in recovery console? | 18:16 |
| salvatore | yes...so i myght set one of my machine as "MASTER" and allow other to connect to www folder and database? | 18:16 |
| === sins-- is now known as sins- | ||
| Pici | zRomayn: Reboot, and press shift while booting to bring up your GRUB menu, then select it from there. | 18:16 |
| zRomayn | Pici - will i log in as root or as the user i created during installation? | 18:17 |
| Pici | zRomayn: I believe that should log you in as root. | 18:17 |
| jerware | What file to I put a list of commands I want to execute at startup ? | 18:17 |
| jerware | like when a user logs in ? | 18:17 |
| FreezingCold | dpkg is still listing packages I already removed with apt-get, how can I update it? | 18:17 |
| glebihan | salvatore, yes that would be an acceptable solution, be careful about security once you allow remote database connections, be sure to correctly configure your firewall | 18:18 |

| h00k | newbie435645: please do not troll in here. | 18:18 |

| salvatore | do you know a tutorial i can read to do this ? | 18:19 |
| sharp66 | steinem, this shows the switch | 18:19 |
| glebihan | salvatore, you may also want to have a look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication-howto.html | 18:19 |
| zykotick9 | FreezingCold, what letters does dpkg list to the left of each entry? (it keeps track of things you remove as well) | 18:19 |

| salvatore | what is the techical term i can look for? like a keyword to search on google? | 18:20 |
| Pici | jerware: You can use /etc/rc.local | 18:21 |
| glebihan | salvatore, didn't you see the link I sent you ? | 18:21 |
| glebihan | salvatore, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication-howto.html | 18:21 |
| glebihan | salvatore, you can also look for "master-slave replication" | 18:21 |
| jerware | Pici: just add what I need in the function do_start() ? | 18:22 |
| jerware | or at the end of the file. | 18:22 |
| salvatore | yes but i'd like to find some in italian if possible :) | 18:22 |
| Pici | jerware: Er, add it at the end before the exit 0 | 18:22 |
| steinem | do you know of any linux drivers? | 18:22 |
| salvatore | anyway that would be something like mysql repication... | 18:22 |

| zykotick9 | FreezingCold, lol - then my initial statement applies ;) | 18:25 |
| FreezingCold | Why can't FF work without it? | 18:25 |
| jerware | Pici: that didn't work. I added conky & | 18:25 |
| zykotick9 | FreezingCold, "apt-cache depends firefox" shows it as a dependency | 18:25 |
| Polah | sharp66: If it works with your standard router but not with a Tomato one then it would appear that it is misconfigured. | 18:25 |
| Pici | jerware: Well thats not going to work. rc.local is for starting things at boot, and you don't want conky running as root and it wouldn't know what to do if x wasn't started etc. | 18:26 |

| zykotick9 | FreezingCold, sorry i have no idea. | 18:26 |
| Polah | sharp66: Certainly seems like a problem with the router then | 18:26 |

| sharp66 | polah, tried different cable, and on 2 switches that are cascaded out of the tomato, those don't work either | 18:27 |
| fwaokda | slart nope it doesnt matter the order | 18:27 |
| fwaokda | Slart, where do i do the --unique option? | 18:27 |
| FreezingCold | Is it safe to remove hplip-data? | 18:28 |
| Slart | fwaokda: there is also a "uniq" command you might be able to use | 18:28 |
| Polah | sharp66: Yeah so it's a problem with the router if you've tried a different system and it all works with a regular router, although I couldn't help you solve it. | 18:28 |
| fwaokda | Slart, i use these with gedit? | 18:28 |
| zykotick9 | Fitzsimmons, (only quasi-related) but i wasn't able to solve an issue the other night with 10.04LTS trying to use an apt-cacher-ng repo using KVM. I kept getting 404s as well. Hope you have better luck then I did. | 18:29 |
| Slart | fwaokda: this should work in a terminal cat yourfile | sort --unique > newfile | 18:29 |

| hildegard | hi all. i have an openvpn connection that is not connecting (TLS error). I think maybe I have the wrong cert on my server (someone might've changed the remote key??). is there a way i can get it to 'just connect' so i can ssh into this thing? | 18:33 |
| fwaokda | Slart, you wouldn't know any way I can add dilimiters to the files contents eh? It's in a wierd format I'm wanting to specify the format of the data (by line) and tell it where to add the delimiters? | 18:33 |
| tsimpson | FreezingCold: you don't just chroot into the mounted CD, it's obviously a read-only medium. you have to extract the compressed FS image | 18:33 |
| schnuffle | hildegard: No way, as you need to change the server config. Can you connect with ssh to your VPN-server? | 18:34 |
| Slart | fwaokda: you're drifting into grep/awk/sed land now... and those utilities are very very flexible.. unfortunately I don't really have a nice clean one-liner for you | 18:34 |
| Slart | fwaokda: but who knows.. perhaps there is a specialized tool out there.. with linux, there usually is =) | 18:34 |
| fwaokda | Slart, alright thanks i'll look into those | 18:35 |
| schnuffle | fwaokda: paste some sample data, then we'll build a awk one liner for it | 18:35 |
| hildegard | shnuffle: yeah, I am on the server, waiting for a remote system to checkin (I haven't needed it in years), but the log on the server keeps giving me the standard 'TLS key negotiation failed to occur...' | 18:35 |
| Fitzsimmons | zykotick9, it's clearly just trying to get the wrong URL | 18:35 |
| Fitzsimmons | which makes no sense | 18:36 |
| schnuffle | hildegard: hzave you checked if your certs are eventually expired? | 18:36 |
| schnuffle | hildegard: so you're on the server but you need to check the client? | 18:36 |
| nuno_nunes | Is there any way to duck into the package manager and just get to the root pass a time when the session starts | 18:37 |
| hildegard | shnuffle: roger, on the server, I need the client to checkin. i did check the certs, they are good for another two years. | 18:37 |
| fwaokda | schnuffle, ok so each line is like this... "25166 Akers, David" and I'm wanting something like this... "25166;Akers, David;" Only problem is there might be some with names having spaces like... "25177 Ah You, C.J." | 18:37 |
| xrdodrx | !root | nuno_nunes | 18:38 |
| ubottu | nuno_nunes: 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 | 18:38 |
| schnuffle | fwaokda: so you match is something like: [0-9]+ [^,]+, .* | 18:38 |
| fwaokda | schnuffle, im not familar with it, i can try it though | 18:39 |
| schnuffle | fwaokda: you can but that is only the first part, finding a regexp which describes your log format. The second part would be to print it out | 18:40 |

| Dr_Willis | doriad: you could run 'sh /path/to/the/whatever.sh' or 'bash path/to/whatever' | 18:52 |
| Polah | doriad: Remount the partition with more suitable settings? I don't believe NTFS uses typical octal permissions | 18:52 |
| doriad | Polah, the drive is auto-mounted when I plug it in. Is there a way to change the way drives are auto-mounted? | 18:53 |
| roney | doriad, there's probably something you missed on your /etc/fstab file. Take a look at it. | 18:53 |
| schnuffle | fwaokda: and for you to test: cat yourfile | sed 's/^([0-9]+) ([^,]+), (.*)$/\1;\2, \3/' | 18:53 |
| Dr_Willis | doriad: you DONT chown/chmod ntfs/vfat/ :) it has to be done when mounted. | 18:53 |
| Dr_Willis | doriad: theres ways to set it where eveyrthing will be executable.. but thats even more annoying in many ways. | 18:53 |
| Polah | doriad: Edit /etc/fstab | 18:53 |
| icone_sabri | hello team | 18:54 |
| schnuffle | fwaokda: ooops sed needs backslashes, so: cat yourfile | sed 's/^\([0-9]+\) \([^,]+\), \(.*\)$/\1;\2, \3/' | 18:54 |
| doriad | Dr_Willis, awesome, running it with sh did the trick | 18:54 |
| doriad | Polah, /etc/fstab doesn't show this drive (it is an external drive) | 18:55 |
| FreezingCold | Dr_Willis, I changed export HOME=/root & export LC_ALL=C | 18:55 |
| FreezingCold | Could that have done it? | 18:55 |
| Polah | doriad: Oh, I guess you could unmount it and then use mount to remount it then. I don't know how to set up mounting settings for external drives. | 18:56 |

| Dr_Willis | CoolCoder: try a 'sudo apt-get upgrade' ? | 19:22 |
| glebihan | CoolCoder, the "exaile-devel" ppa has no package for natty | 19:22 |

| glebihan | zykotick9, yes it's listed as it's been inserted and added to the software sources, but that's not the source of the problem, it only provides older versions of the packages | 19:23 |

| Dylan-sama | hello, i need help with a secondary installation of ubuntu. lucid is currently installed and going to try out natty as secondary. i chose the "alongside" option in natty installer and it installed automatically to an empty partition but included its own /boot dir, how do i properly migrate the kernels in the second install to the main grub bootloader that is already on the lucid install? | 19:29 |
| glebihan | BluesKaj, I know that too.... | 19:29 |
| blognewb | urlin2u that's what it is but my question was, does my usb driver have to only have the ubuntu iso to load or can i have other documents in it, it's not a usb stick that im gonna be using but an external hard drive via USB | 19:30 |
| Dylan-sama | and i suppose remove grub from the second install too...because i imagine it will try to manage itself | 19:30 |
| jstoone | Obfuscation: The only thing I'm using is vimperator.. but I'll try it out (: | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Dylan-sama: in theory.. :) the 2nd ubuntu install should see the first and take over grub and setup menus to boot either one. | 19:30 |
| myrmidette | somebody please write me a perl script that deletes the first character if it's a space in a string. | 19:30 |
| BluesKaj | then why did you ask , glebihan there's a difference that can make a difference for users | 19:30 |
| bullgard4_ | glebihan: '~$ sudo service mysql start; start: Job is already running: mysql.' -- Is this all right? | 19:30 |
| Dylan-sama | Dr_Willis: hmm thats the thing, it's not in the grub boot menu at all :( | 19:30 |
| jstoone | Obfuscation: Isn't there an error.log somewhere? or a crash repport? | 19:30 |
| urlin2u | blognewb, have you ever used a usb to install with? | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | myrmidette: delete the first space on a line? | 19:30 |
| piksi | is there any known reason why ubuntu is not showing samba shares which are all public (smbclient -L //server -U user lists them as public) in 11.04? | 19:30 |
| glebihan | BluesKaj, I did not ask. I said it would not do anything | 19:31 |
| urlin2u | Obfuscation, do not spam pm me. | 19:31 |
| myrmidette | Dr_Willis, only if that space is the first char | 19:31 |

| BluesKaj | glebihan, nm , go back to your correction trolling | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | myrmidette: by regreular expressions rules. i think a space is not a 'cahracter' :) and it should be a rather simple 1 line 'sed' command to do that.. | 19:31 |
| glebihan | bullgard4, yes that means the daemon is already running, if you want to restart it (if you changed some configuration for example) "sudo service mysql restart" | 19:32 |
| myrmidette | Dr_Willis, and that sed command is...? | 19:32 |
| zykotick9 | Dylan-sama, FYI whatever grub you installed most recently will currently "be in control", if you reinstall grub from your original (?lucid) install, it will regain "control" | 19:32 |
| Dylan-sama | after the natty install finished, restarted and all i see for my grub menu is all my lucid kernels | 19:32 |
| Obfuscation | ok, so what is the point in you PMing me for answers, and me just posting my end into the room, no one gets to benefit from anything | 19:32 |

| Dylan-sama | zykotick9: i haven't lost control yet, i want to boot to the new natty install but can't | 19:33 |
| zykotick9 | Dylan-sama, are you sure you select to install grub to the MBR then from natty? doesn't sound like you did. In lucid run "sudo update-grub2" and see if it autoadds natty | 19:33 |
| urlin2u | blognewb, is the usb a pendrive or a hard drive? | 19:33 |
| Dylan-sama | it didn't have the option, it was one of those seamless "install alongside another install" option | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Uldics: interesting.. ive found samba getting so flakey these last few years i tend to just use ssh/scp when i need to transfer files if samba fails.. you sure theres no firewall rules in the way? My android phone (using astro) seems to access my shares fine. but i tend to use scp clients on it. | 19:34 |
| blognewb | urlin2u hard drive with the ubuntu iso and other files in it, like a typical internal hard drive. WHat will be the .ini file? | 19:34 |
| dark_knight | any other good chat servers for linux help? | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | dark_knight: you could check askubuntu.com but you have to get some 'points' on it to get into their chat except for read only viewing. :) | 19:35 |
| zykotick9 | dark_knight, for non-distro specific help you could try ##linux on freenode (this server) | 19:35 |
| Uldics | not sure about firewall, but havent done anything with firewalls, when I lost my shares a week ago | 19:35 |

| jstoone | Dr_Willis: Uldics: I had the same problem, but then it was a port forwarding problem (: | 19:35 |
| myrmidette | ty Dr_Willis | 19:35 |
| urlin2u | blognewb, not a good way to try to install, works on occasion fails in others. Do you have a pendrive to use or a cd to burn and a reader? | 19:35 |
| hylian | what would make thunar start at startup, and ask for a password? if i give it the password, it starts thunar in super user mode. | 19:36 |
| dark_knight | Dr_Willis, zykotick9 thanks i | 19:36 |
| blognewb | urlin2u reader? | 19:36 |
| blognewb | urlin2u im trying to look for a blank cd but all seems to be occupied | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | All i can say about samba. is its totally messed up. :) My xp/win7/vista box's often dont see each other, or a pc on wireless sees them but cent be seen.. or the linux box's see some. and not others.. or other linux boxs. My $20 nas is normally seen by EVERYTHING.. and for some perverted reason. my BoxeeBox manages to see EVERY share on the network. :) so all i can say is its total-mass-anarchy | 19:36 |
| RayzrShrp | anybody know how to change windows in irssi when you are using securecrt under windows? | 19:36 |
| urlin2u | blognewb, can your computer your installing to read=reader a cd, and can you burn one. | 19:37 |
| glebihan | hylian, did you check in your startup applications ? | 19:37 |
| Dylan-sama | zykotick9: AH HA, looks like it may have worked | 19:37 |
| Dylan-sama | should have thought of that | 19:37 |
| Dylan-sama | i thought i saw the installer do its own update-grub | 19:37 |
| jolson | How do I get Evolution to autocomplete also on addresses I have received mail from, not only those I have sent to? | 19:37 |
| Dylan-sama | jolson: that is also relevant to my interests...i had assumed i needed a contact for anything to autocomplete | 19:38 |
| hylian | glebihan, yeah, nothing there. | 19:38 |
| Dylan-sama | zykotick9: excellent, it's in the menu now, thanks | 19:39 |
| Uldics | Dr_Willis: I do not need ssh, I need just a simple file share from my Linux box to a Windows box, where ssh would be PITA - non techie user at Windows box | 19:39 |

| blognewb | urlin2u i can burn in this laptop yes but no blank cdr so far | 19:40 |
| hylian | zykotick9, what would make thunar start at boot and ask for my admin password..? | 19:40 |
| jolson | Dylan-sama: You might actually need the address to be in your "contacts". It seems Evolution can automatically stor addresses as contacts when you send to them, but not when you receive from them. | 19:40 |
| zykotick9 | hylian, ? i have no idea | 19:40 |
| urlin2u | blognewb, do you have a pendrive, using the hard drive is more than just putting a ISO on it. | 19:40 |
| hylian | zykotick9, that's what I like about you, always clear and to the point. :) | 19:40 |

| jstoone | Obfuscation: You're probably right. I was going to make a biig project, by disabling each addon/plugin for each crash | 19:44 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, what is the problem? | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | JoshM: clarify the problem/give more details instead of just repeating.. may be a good idea. | 19:44 |
| JoshM | didnt get a response so reposted. sorry. | 19:45 |

| blognewb | urlin2u becausae it doesn't have a usb option in the bios | 19:45 |
| Obfuscation | jstoone: Thats another way to do it. I was just trying to throw something at you that might not take nearly as long. | 19:46 |
| JoshM | urlin2u: i have dell m6500 laptop. trying to isntall ubuntu 11.04. tried x86 and x64, tried CD and USB, get to "preparing to install ubuntu" screen, click "Forward" and it just disabled the buttons and does nothing more. | 19:46 |
| urlin2u | blognewb, okay, to be honest using a plop cd to boot a HD to install with is not easy and may fail. Do you even have plop on a cd? | 19:46 |
| decentfriend | hi | 19:46 |
| Obfuscation | blognewb: I thought the same thing, but after restarting witth the USB plugged in, I usually get the option. | 19:46 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, how many partitions are on the conputer? | 19:47 |
| JoshM | urlin2u: also booting from USB never got past the "SYSLINUX" header | 19:47 |
| blognewb | Obfuscation k but can it boot from an external hard drive usb with other files in it, instead of a pendrive? if so will the boot.ini file have a different setting | 19:48 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, then how did you get to the install option? | 19:48 |
| JoshM | urlin2u: i have 2 SATA drive. one has 2 partitions, windows is on one, other is for data. 2nd drive has 2 partitions, one for VMs, one for this installation of ubuntu. 2nd drive also has unpartitioned space. | 19:48 |

| glebihan | bullgard4, you're welcome | 19:48 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, how did you load the thumb for install? | 19:48 |
| nicofs | I am trying to upgrade but all i get is "Authentication failed"... what might be the cause? can i override the authentication request? | 19:49 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, used usb_creator.exe from ubuntu 11.04 ISO. | 19:49 |
| bullgard4_ | nicofs: You better tell us what you did exactly in order to upgrade. | 19:49 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, boot the cd to the desktop and check that it is going to work ubuntu that is before trying to install. | 19:49 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, not worried about USB boot, cd boot is working "better." | 19:50 |
| pecos | nicofs: from terminal type sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:50 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, are you familoar with making partitions and installing to them? | 19:50 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, i was able to "try ubuntu" from the cd. | 19:50 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, yes. | 19:50 |
| nicofs | bullgard4, started the update manager and hit upgrade... | 19:50 |
| zykotick9 | JoshM, if "try ubuntu" is working, did you attempt the INSTALL icon on the desktop? | 19:51 |
| mathuaerknedam | yay, a crash. | 19:51 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, yes i did. same results, hangs after clicking forward... | 19:51 |
| mathuaerknedam | "the" crash... | 19:51 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, install from the dektop, and pre-format the partitions to install to, choose something else when asked where to install. | 19:51 |
| bullgard4_ | nicofs: Normally you cannot overrride the authentication request. | 19:51 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, i never even got the chance to choose installation location/partitions. | 19:51 |
| nicofs | bullgard4, but why should it fail...? | 19:51 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, have you checked thr sum of the ISO or cd? | 19:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Uldics: you could flush them all as a temp. test i guess.. i never use any fw rules on my home lan. | 19:52 |
| bullgard4_ | nicofs: Did you indeed try to authenticate and keyed in your password? | 19:52 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 19:53 |
| glebihan | nicofs, could you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" ? | 19:53 |
| Uldics | Dr_Willis: How do I do that? | 19:53 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, no but i can...burned 2 CDs thinking maybe something went wrong during burn,no luck. | 19:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Uldics: iptables --flush | 19:53 |
| Dr_Willis | as root of course.. | 19:53 |
| nicofs | bullgard4_, for some reason, i'm not asked - even when i do "sudo -s" in console i am just granted admin rights... | 19:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Uldics: i find samba flakey enough without pointless firewall rules on my internal lan. :) | 19:53 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, check the iso, if okay burn the cd at a slow speed, as an image. | 19:53 |
| nicofs | glebihan, give me a second, it's an old 800MHz machine - it just needs to finish pending operations... | 19:54 |
| glebihan | nicofs, oh then run "gksu-properties" and check that authentication mode is set to "sudo" | 19:54 |

| urlin2u | JoshM, cool | 19:54 |
| bullgard4_ | nicofs: Oh! That's dangerous. It means that the password is not required in some circumstances. This is evil. You better check that carefully first without involving Update Manager. | 19:55 |
| zykotick9 | mbertens1, i'm unclear on your actual issue. when does it ask for root password? Can you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" to update the server? | 19:55 |
| nicofs | glebihan, gksu-settings is set to sudo and enable... | 19:56 |
| glebihan | bullgard4, well not that evil, password is not asked but permissions are not granted either | 19:56 |

| urlin2u | JoshM, not sure here the computer will run Ubuntu, unetbootin is option for loading the thumb, preformat it first. | 19:58 |

| JoshM | urlin2u, what do you mean "open" | 19:59 |
| mbertens1 | zykotick9: yeah that works fine, the problem is that when there is ask normally for MY password to preform a action, now the "root" password is asked | 19:59 |
| Xplodingpiglets | thanks | 19:59 |

| urlin2u | JoshM, do you know the partition amount limitations on a single HD? | 20:03 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, but even with unpartitioned space, you would expect the isntaller to "know what to do" or allow me to decide how to partition the drive during install, right? | 20:03 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, as in # of partitions? | 20:04 |

| mbertens1 | pecos: sorry, but you give advice because you things that way, nice but i like to have a more clear explanation and reason why i should not do this, security leaks and so on, but at this time i'm not aware of those, my lan is behind 2 firewalls so every thing is more than secure here, and currently there is no route from the outside in | 20:14 |
| nicofs | glebihan, as i said... coming up ^^ | 20:15 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, does installe care if disk is basic or dynamic? | 20:15 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, yes, no dynamic. | 20:16 |
| glebihan | nicofs, I'm just trying not to fall asleep while waiting ;) | 20:16 |
| computerx | Simple question ;) I want the location text box to be permanent in Nautilus. Any suggestions? | 20:16 |
| pecos | mbertens1: so if you have set the root password have you any issue with it...? | 20:16 |
| bullgard4_ | nicofs: Please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:16 |
| systemclient | I'd like to sync my mysql data, but you have to be root to write to the data. How can I sync it between two ubuntu computers? | 20:16 |
| glebihan | computerx, you can do that with gconf-editor | 20:17 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, disc i want to use is currenyl dynamic. i will have to repartition it then. i'd like to make my one windows partition and leave the rest unpartitioned and create new partitions during install. will this be a problem? | 20:17 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: theres a gconf settng to make the address bar always show. the ubuntu-tweak tool has a check box for it also | 20:17 |
| Phase | I need a way to limit the download rate of youtube videos, I'd prefer to be able to limit them in the browser straight from the website, but from my searches I don't think it's possible without capping the entire machines bandwidth.. looked at youtube-dl.py, but it doesn't provide any options to cap speeds either. Anyone have any ideas? | 20:17 |
| bullgard4_ | Does System Monitor as a default display only processes of the current user? How can I configure System Monitor to show the processes of all users? | 20:17 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, that isn't even close to an answer. computerx | 20:17 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, was just trying to see if the partitioning was gpt | 20:17 |
| urlin2u | I | 20:17 |
| vbgunz__ | Real quick question. How many of you actually looked into getting a real Ocelot? Fricking codenames. | 20:17 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, should it be GPT or MBR | 20:18 |
| computerx | glebihan, Dr_Willis: ty so much. I found it and fixed it | 20:18 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, I know nothing in a other then mbr partitioning | 20:18 |
| computerx | Daft though it sounds, that bar drives me nuts | 20:18 |
| Dr_Willis | vbgunz__: im waiting for 'Perverted Platypus' | 20:18 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, so mbr then? | 20:18 |
| mbertens1 | pecos: yes security leak, and thats a well known one, but anyway i'm not here fight, but to solve my problem | 20:18 |
| computerx | Dr_Willis, LOL I almost spat my coffee over the desk | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | computerx, what was it? I wanted to see an actual answer. | 20:18 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, I know nothing about changing eithier | 20:18 |
| silverarrow | Dr_Willis you are, missing something? | 20:18 |
| glebihan | computerx, check the "/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry" option | 20:19 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, was looking for the right key... | 20:19 |
| glebihan | computerx, you're welcome | 20:19 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, "/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry" option | 20:19 |
| silverarrow | anyone good with minitube upgrade? | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, thanks | 20:19 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, so you cant recommend which i should choose, then? im going to clear all partitions from the drive and start fresh | 20:19 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, you're welcome | 20:19 |
| computerx | zykotick9, I ran gconf-editor from the terminal, clicked apps, nautilus, preferences and ticked always_use_location_entry | 20:19 |
| Dr_Willis | I really think its time ubuntu outgrew the animal naming scheme and just went with version #'s.. :) but then we wont have the neat themed wallpapers. | 20:19 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, I can't advise when I don't know. | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | computerx, thanks glebihan shared it | 20:19 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, got it. | 20:19 |
| mbertens1 | pecos zykotick9 Dr_Willis: rebooted the server still have the problem that the root password is being asked instead of my password :-( | 20:20 |
| computerx | Yeah, I need to work on my typing speed | 20:20 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, not sure it is as easy as just clearing all the partitions make sure you do.;-) | 20:20 |
| nicofs | glebihan, http://pastebin.com/K3cgMNRA | 20:20 |
| nicofs | glebihan, from looking at it, i guess i should comment the last 2 lines out... | 20:21 |
| BluesKaj | Dr_Willis, yeah , 11.10 should be just 11.10 :) | 20:21 |
| glebihan | nicofs, no don't you won't be able to use sudo anymore | 20:21 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, doing it now...going w/MBR | 20:22 |
| glebihan | nicofs, what you have to do is check that your user is in the sudo group | 20:22 |
| nicofs | glebihan, hmmm... i still want to use that - but preferably with the need to enter my pw^^ | 20:22 |
| computerx | Sooo, earlier today I started up, logged in and all the windows lost their title bar and borders and were shoved to the far-left (aka non-visible space due to my monitor size mis-match). I eventually fixed it by deleting half my profile. Was there a better way to go about this, if it happens again? | 20:22 |
| glebihan | nicofs, yes we will get there | 20:22 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, admin group to use sudo | 20:23 |
| roasted | Question - my laptop, beginning today, won't let me log in. it returns no errors, looks like it's logging in, and comes right back to the login screen. Any ideas? | 20:23 |
| nicofs | glebihan, how do i check what group my user is in? | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | nicofs, "groups" in a terminal | 20:23 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, is the main disc dynamic as well? | 20:23 |
| glebihan | nicofs, once you've made sure you're in the sudo group, I'll give you my version of the sudoers file, which should work fine | 20:24 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, "admin" group to use sudo | 20:24 |
| glebihan | nicofs, system->administration->user and groups | 20:24 |
| vbgunz__ | Dr_Willis: that'll probably put Ubuntu on the map bigtime | 20:24 |
| nicofs | zykotick9, glebihan user is not in sudo group... | 20:24 |
| roasted | oh, nevermind. a quick terminal login looks like my hdd is 100% full. Guess I didnt realize how big that image was I uploaded from that windows box. | 20:24 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, actually both work with some differences, and I think that group sudo gives more privilzgies | 20:25 |
| zykotick9 | nicofs, that's correct - you need to be in the "admin" group to use sudo (on ubuntu) | 20:25 |
| nicofs | zykotick9, not in there either | 20:25 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, are you coming from a debian background? | 20:25 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, nope | 20:25 |
| urlin2u | roasted, you know how to get in right? | 20:25 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, asking because it uses the "sudo" group and not "admin" | 20:26 |
| jragon_ | Hi | 20:26 |
| jragon_ | Is there a source for the JDK? | 20:26 |
| roasted | urlin2u, I'm already good to go. :) | 20:26 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, well ubuntu uses both afaik | 20:26 |
| urlin2u | roasted, figured you were. ;-) | 20:26 |
| roasted | urlin2u, a quick terminal login, df, 100% space, rm -rf an unnecessary and HUGE file, back to 19% usage. reboot, done deal. already good :) | 20:26 |
| nicofs | just tell me how i get my user into either^^ | 20:26 |
| guntbert | glebihan: no, the sudo group has no members | 20:26 |
| glebihan | guntbert, zykotick9 then I have something weird here... | 20:27 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, yes but ubuntu shouldnt pay it any mind...right? | 20:27 |
| silverarrow | anyone who knows how to add ppa and update minitube? | 20:27 |
| glebihan | nicofs, are you in the users and groups tool | 20:27 |
| glebihan | ? | 20:27 |
| lyrae | i try to install wine, or anything related to wine, and it says to check my internet connection. but im pinging a site and there are no packages dropped | 20:28 |
| lyrae | Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/winbind_3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.4_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] | 20:28 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, not sure that is why I suggest getting solid info rather then pecking at the dynamic ob the second HD, I don't think removing the partitions will work alone. | 20:28 |
| farciarz84 | I have intel graphic card, how to check which driver version is installed? | 20:28 |
| nicofs | glebihan, i'd love to - but i don't have that menu item... | 20:28 |
| lyrae | is it a problem on the ubuntu end? | 20:28 |
| nicofs | could install it though... | 20:28 |
| urlin2u | ob=on JoshM | 20:28 |
| glebihan | nicofs, then try launching "users-admin" | 20:28 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, understood. | 20:29 |
| FreezingCold | What happens if I remove Ubuntu desktop? | 20:29 |
| glebihan | nicofs, another way is to edit the /etc/group file manually | 20:30 |
| guntbert | FreezingCold: nothing, it is only a meta-package to pull in all needed packages | 20:30 |
| FreezingCold | Thank you! | 20:30 |
| FreezingCold | I was worried about removing it at first | 20:30 |
| glebihan | guntbert, zykotick9 ok was mislead by the sudoers file... I'm indeed in the admin group and not the sudo one... | 20:30 |
| guntbert | FreezingCold: although it could be useful when upgrading your system | 20:31 |
| farciarz84 | I have intel graphic card, how to check which driver version is installed? | 20:31 |
| guntbert | glebihan: :) | 20:31 |
| FreezingCold | I won't be upgrading this, I'm making a LiveCD for myself | 20:31 |
| nicofs | glebihan, ok - what to add where? username to "adm:*:4:"? | 20:31 |
| guntbert | FreezingCold: and why do you want to remove it anyway? | 20:32 |
| glebihan | nicofs, add your username at the of the line starting by admin (not adm) | 20:32 |
| FreezingCold | guntbert, I'm cleaning out all the unneeded packages for my CD | 20:32 |
| zykotick9 | nicofs, from a terminal "sudo usermod -aG admin YOURUSERNAME" | 20:32 |
| glebihan | at the *end* | 20:32 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, i don't think editing groups or passwd is a great idea | 20:32 |
| guntbert | FreezingCold: but this one is really tiny | 20:32 |
| FreezingCold | guntbert, I know but there are some packages that I want to remove that force me to remove Ubuntu-desktop | 20:33 |
| sebaldus | BOBobss | 20:33 |
| guntbert | !info ubuntu-desktop | FreezingCold | 20:33 |
| ubottu | FreezingCold: ubuntu-desktop (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.220 (natty), package size 3 kB, installed size 60 kB | 20:33 |
| glebihan | nicofs, use zykotick9's command instead | 20:33 |
| guntbert | FreezingCold: in that case go ahead and no worries | 20:33 |
| nicofs | zykotick9, "group "admin" does not exist" | 20:33 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, I believe editing either requires visudo | 20:33 |
| FreezingCold | guntbert, any ideas on what kind of stuff I should remove? | 20:33 |
| FreezingCold | Any big space savers? | 20:34 |
| guntbert | FreezingCold: sorry, no | 20:34 |
| FreezingCold | I killed Ubuntu-docs and openoffice already | 20:34 |
| urlin2u | FreezingCold, you know of the minimal cd as well? | 20:34 |
| zykotick9 | nicofs, are you sure you are using ubuntu? "grep admin /etc/group" | 20:34 |
| FreezingCold | urlin2u, yeah, but it has gnome removed correct? | 20:34 |
| FreezingCold | I want to keep that | 20:34 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, I've edited those files more than once with vi without consequences... was I lucky ? | 20:34 |
| urlin2u | FreezingCold, only about 12 mib, it s a net install. | 20:35 |
| fwaokda | i wrote a txt file in gedit, and it has 140 lines, when i take that file and move it onto windows it is all one line. how can i fix this? | 20:35 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, ? i'm not sure about the details. I've done the same. | 20:35 |
| FreezingCold | urlin2u, oh, I don't want a netinstall | 20:35 |
| nicofs | zykotick9, no result | 20:35 |
| FreezingCold | This is for managing OpenPGP keys in a safe place :) | 20:35 |
| guntbert | glebihan: *very* lucky | 20:35 |
| czz | how can i view my recent installs? | 20:35 |
| glebihan | nicofs, that's normal, now you should be in the admin group | 20:35 |
| urlin2u | FreezingCold, cool , just making sure you know of easier options. | 20:35 |
| glebihan | guntbert, could you detail on that ? | 20:36 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, good luck helping nicofs if they don't have an admin group. I'm not touching this issue anymore. | 20:36 |
| FreezingCold | Yeah, what I'm doing is kinda unneeded I know ;) | 20:36 |
| Tonjevic | Hi there :) | 20:36 |
| urlin2u | czz, how did you install? | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | fwaokda: windows wants a cr and lf at the end of each line.. linux/unix only needs one.. theres some text2dos or similer commands that can 'fix' it.. | 20:36 |
| guntbert | glebihan: any error in the sudoers file will prevent you from being able to sudo, so .... | 20:36 |
| czz | urlin2u, aptitude | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | fwaokda: may be dos2unix or unix2dos commands.. been ages since ive had to mess withit. | 20:37 |
| glebihan | guntbert, that's not a matter of being lucky, it's a matter of being careful... | 20:37 |
| fwaokda | Dr_Willis, for windows or ubuntu? | 20:37 |
| nicofs | zykotick9, if it comforts you: it's not bad if i wreck this thing^^ | 20:37 |
| glebihan | nicofs, can you check if you're in the admin group now ? | 20:37 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis, i believe the package(s) have been renamed... i don't remember the correct name though. fwaokda | 20:37 |
| Dr_Willis | fwaokda: yes.. :) i imgine its been ported to windows some how.. and its in linux. | 20:37 |
| guntbert | glebihan: yes, so use visudo (that command checks the file for sanity before writing it to disk) | 20:38 |
| Dr_Willis | fwaokda: theres prob. a dozen tools to convert the things. | 20:38 |
| fwaokda | Dr_Willis, well i just need one ;P | 20:38 |
| nicofs | glebihan, i am not. there is no group "admin" | 20:38 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis, toofrodos or something? | 20:38 |
| Dr_Willis | fwaokda: so you need to decide what os you want to do the converting in... | 20:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !info tofromdos | 20:38 |
| guntbert | !wfm > glebihan | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Package tofromdos does not exist in natty | 20:38 |
| ubottu | glebihan, please see my private message | 20:38 |

| ramadan_ | Hi. I have an HP Pavillion dv6233se and Natty Narwhal. HP website says my wireless card is 802.11b/g wlan. My wireless doesn't work and I've tried everything I could find online. No luck. Anybody have any experience with this? | 20:39 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis, sorry guess i was wrong about that guess | 20:39 |
| guntbert | !info tofrodos fwaokda | 20:39 |

| glebihan | guntbert, we weren't talking about editing the sudoers file, but the /etc/group file | 20:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ramadan_: you need to determine the exct chipset of the card. saying its a b/g card - dosent really say mich. :) | 20:39 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders where the m went in tofrodos | 20:39 | |
| zykotick9 | i was close ;) | 20:39 |
| silverarrow | anyone using minitube in Ubuntu? | 20:40 |
| Dr_Willis | that word sounds like something id order at tocobell :) | 20:40 |
| guntbert | glebihan: ok, maybe I overreacted :) - sorry | 20:40 |
| tbruff13 | how do i put windows 2000 on a flash drive with linux | 20:40 |
| ramadan_ | Dr_Willis, how can I determine that? | 20:40 |
| Dr_Willis | ramadan_: lspci command output is a good place to start. | 20:40 |
| Dr_Willis | tbruff13: may not be doable.. figure how it it can even work first perhaps. | 20:40 |
| Dr_Willis | tbruff13: and if theres windows tools to do it.. try them in wine | 20:40 |
| Pyprokid | #msg nickserv info Pyprokid | 20:41 |
| glebihan | guntbert, no problem, I'll still take the advice about visudo when editing the sudoers file | 20:41 |
| tbruff13 | Dr_Willis: will unetbootin work | 20:41 |
| Dr_Willis | tbruff13: i doubt it.. windows is picky.. | 20:41 |
| Dr_Willis | tbruff13: ask in #windows perhaps. | 20:41 |
| glebihan | nicofs, then I guess you should create the admin group (with the addgroup command) but it's really weird that it's not there | 20:42 |
| fwaokda | thanks guys unix2dos worked | 20:42 |
| nicofs | glebihan, the whole system is weird... if i could I'd just install a new system.. but i have to make do with what's there... | 20:42 |
| nitram147 | .sk | 20:42 |
| ramadan_ | Dr_Willis, no luck with lspci. It doesn't show any info for wireless, only wired. The wireless worked perfectly under Ubuntu 10... | 20:43 |
| tbruff13 | Dr_Willis: what network is windows on freenode | 20:43 |
| zykotick9 | tbruff13, ##windows | 20:43 |
| glebihan | nicofs, well then... let's go and try "sudo addgroup admin" and then "sudo usermod -aG admin YOURUSERNAME" again | 20:44 |

| KyleHughes | i just boot into some sort of grub terminally thing | 20:49 |
| guntbert | Guest29422: you upgraded from what version to which one? | 20:49 |
| KyleHughes | I'm not very good at explaining :/ | 20:49 |
| lizbeth | guntbert, 10.10 to 11.04 | 20:50 |
| urlin2u | KyleHughes, grub terminally like thing lol, what is your final goal here. | 20:50 |
| guntbert | lizbeth: and what do you get when you boot? | 20:50 |
| KyleHughes | To boot into something that lets me install Ubuntu | 20:51 |
| felixdm | lyrae apt-get update then apt-get install xD | 20:51 |
| silverarrow | Dr_Willis; yeah, that might be it | 20:51 |
| lizbeth | guntbert, if I boot graphically I see the session manager then it dies after I login. | 20:51 |
| felixdm | or upgrade | 20:51 |
| urlin2u | KyleHughes, how about a cd | 20:51 |
| Dr_Willis | silverarrow: i had to upgrade the tools on my phone. :) about all i recall needing to do. their forume/updates posted fixing changes youtuvbe did. | 20:51 |
| lyle | hey, is there some way to launch the default mail client from the cmd line? | 20:51 |

| KyleHughes | I'm booting from the iso i got from the website | 20:51 |
| KyleHughes | it takes me into that grub thing | 20:51 |
| KyleHughes | I don't know what to do from there on | 20:51 |
| silverarrow | Dr_willis, still, I have trouble upgrading though, can that possible help? | 20:51 |
| Dr_Willis | lizbeth: err.. You normally DONT run X as root. | 20:52 |
| Dr_Willis | silverarrow: look for a updated verison in a PPA perhaps. | 20:52 |
| zykotick9 | lyle, "evolution" maybe? | 20:52 |
| Prabz | Hi I'm facing a peculiar problem on my Dell Inspiron 1525, Maverick Meerkat. For the last 2 days syslog has been filling up my hard disk with logs which read: [74774.234615] hda-intel: spurious response 0x0:0x0, last cmd=0x000000. I'm baffled why this is occurring. Can anybody help? | 20:52 |
| lizbeth | Dr_Willis, i know. | 20:52 |
| guntbert | lizbeth: can you try as another user - running X as root *may* give you exactly these problems | 20:52 |
| lyle | zykotick9: nah, that just launches evolution, i want to launch whatever is set as default | 20:52 |
| urlin2u | KyleHughes, decribe what you see on booting the cd, and any other installs on the computer like operating systems. | 20:52 |
| silverarrow | Dr_Willis, i should, but I have trouble with ppa | 20:52 |
| felixdm | =D ECHO $EMAIL | 20:52 |
| felixdm | echo $MAIL | 20:52 |
| KyleHughes | I'll do my best | 20:52 |
| felixdm | i dont remember | 20:52 |
| KyleHughes | Hang on | 20:52 |
| FloodBot1 | felixdm: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:52 |
| lizbeth | guntbert, startx doesn't work with any other user but root. | 20:53 |
| zykotick9 | lyle, oh i gotcha. Sorry off the top of my head i don't remember how. | 20:53 |
| Dr_Willis | silverarrow: every ppa? that would be weird... | 20:53 |
| silverarrow | Dr_Willis, I'm not yet best friends with terminal window | 20:53 |
| nicofs | glebihan, ok. sudoers edited | 20:53 |
| Dr_Willis | silverarrow: time to spend time learning bash and the cli and stop atching youtube. :) | 20:53 |

| rypervenche | Dr_Willis: I know of a good PDF that you could use to learn the command line. | 20:53 |
| silverarrow | Dr_Willis, probably spot on lol | 20:53 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, cant even get "try ubuntu" to work now. is x64 supported on my system? | 20:54 |
| glebihan | nicofs, ok then you *should* be good, try the update manager again | 20:54 |
| lizbeth | Is there any command to reconfigure x server? | 20:54 |
| Dr_Willis | rypervenche: i tend to just point people to delicious.com and check the bash and tutorial tags. :) | 20:54 |
| lyle | felixdm: i don't see anything in my env | 20:54 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, ubuntu x64 that is | 20:54 |
| guntbert | lizbeth: try to add another user from the command line (not in recovery mode) and see if that user can login graphically | 20:54 |
| rypervenche | Oops, sent that to the wrong person. | 20:54 |
| lizbeth | guntbert, which is the command? | 20:54 |
| felixdm | MAIL COMMAND | 20:54 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, not sure is it 64 bit, and have you confirmed what you have done is feasible? | 20:55 |
| rypervenche | silverarrow: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php Click on "Download it here" | 20:55 |
| silverarrow | Dr_willis, I fiddled with ppa and a couple of directions I found googelig, but it didn't work upgrading minitube | 20:55 |
| KyleHughes | http://paste.ubuntu.com/672717/ <---- Is as close as I can get | 20:55 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, weird, install window was nonresponsive, closed it, waited, waited, waited, now im in "try ubuntu" mode | 20:55 |
| zykotick9 | lyle, you could try "gnome-open mailto:" but i doubt that's really what you want - that opens a new compose email | 20:55 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, what would you like to see? | 20:55 |
| urlin2u | KyleHughes, did you have a Linux install you removed? | 20:55 |
| KyleHughes | Nope | 20:55 |
| silverarrow | rypervenche, thanks ! I really like that | 20:56 |
| lyle | zykotick9: that's definitely a step in the right direction | 20:56 |
| nicofs | glebihan, authentication failed | 20:56 |
| KyleHughes | Probably should say I'm doing what the wiki says about dual booting with OS X | 20:56 |
| KyleHughes | with rEFIt and what-not | 20:56 |
| guntbert | lizbeth: sudo adduser testuser (after having switched to a virtual terminal with ctrl+alt+F2 | 20:56 |
| KyleHughes | but when i boot from the disk i just get that | 20:56 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, it seems your just acting without knowing what your doing, all I'm trying to say is don't do that gpt to mbr with 2 discs as dynamics is a geek effort, if possible to even make 1 mbr. | 20:57 |
| urlin2u | KyleHughes, I know nothing in this area always mention this sort of stuu. | 20:57 |
| urlin2u | stuff* | 20:58 |
| KyleHughes | Is there an end to that sentance :S | 20:58 |
| KyleHughes | What? :S | 20:58 |
| leach | hi all | 20:58 |
| leach | i need a little help | 20:58 |
| KyleHughes | So anyone else have a clue? :) | 20:59 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, im not "acting without knowledge" i expected the install to work w/out me having to even worry about this stuff but apparently not... | 20:59 |
| glebihan | nicofs, hum | 20:59 |
| urlin2u | KyleHughes, when your installing to a apple always mention that first, not everybody knows the process. | 20:59 |
| guntbert | lizbeth: sorry, I have to leave - Good luck :-) | 20:59 |
| nicofs | glebihan, i'm still not prompted for any pw... | 20:59 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, im not a newb. | 20:59 |
| nicofs | glebihan, i'll restart, maybe that helps | 20:59 |
| DoctorBlackbird | On ubuntu, what do i do to make makefiles? | 20:59 |
| KyleHughes | The process is: | 20:59 |
| glebihan | nicofs, cannot hurt anyway... | 21:00 |
| FreezingCold | How can I completely remove all removed packages? | 21:00 |
| KyleHughes | install rEFIt (thing which lets you use MBR), setup partition with boot camp, boot to the disk | 21:00 |
| KyleHughes | That's it | 21:00 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, dynamic setups are rather unusual, if you expected a just plug and play install your acting without knowing, don't take that personally. | 21:00 |
| KyleHughes | then it's the same as with other PCs | 21:00 |
| SudoKing | how do you reset the keyboard preferences (delay/speed, as in system->preferences->keyboard) to default values? | 21:01 |
| leach | can someone explain to me why in the know menvironment i have one PATH environment (different then that in /etc/environment) - where can i find out who set it up and how to remove the override? | 21:01 |
| x_ | moved my ubuntu (current version) computer with nvidia hdmi card to my tv in the basement, (nvidia settings and ubuntu both say the tv is 720p native but it's really 1080i or p can't remember. Anyway 720p works fine, when I switch to 1080 it's all blurry, works fine upstairs on a different tv any ideas? | 21:01 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, sorry, i havent had this issue w/installing ubuntu before, and certainly not w/installing windows. as it is now, i have an empty drive formatted w/MBR, no partitions - starting fresh. | 21:01 |
| urlin2u | KyleHughes, you did not mention that until I had to force it out of you. | 21:01 |
| leach | i can override it for the console eaily enough - but how do i do the same for the gnome shell? | 21:01 |
| bsmith093 | whats the command to empty the Downloads folder | 21:01 |
| KyleHughes | You didn't force it out of me at all :| I said "probably should mention" | 21:02 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, have you ever had a dynamic set up before. | 21:02 |
| KyleHughes | So I said it of my own accord >_> | 21:02 |
| zykotick9 | bsmith093, do you mean the APT download folder or the regular /home/USERNAME/Downloads? | 21:02 |
| nicofs | glebihan, nothing changed | 21:02 |
| urlin2u | KyleHughes, my point is important info from the get go. | 21:02 |
| bsmith093 | regular | 21:02 |
| KyleHughes | So you can't help me? | 21:02 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, no. and the disk is back to basic now. | 21:02 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, about to try install again. | 21:02 |
| glebihan | nicofs, you rebooted already ? | 21:02 |
| nicofs | glebihan, yes - the only thing fast about that machine | 21:03 |
| zykotick9 | bsmith093, there isn't a specific command for that, use rm in terminal or the GUI File browser of your choice (nautilus for example) | 21:03 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, okay then the past installs and your success have nothing to do with this one chill out get the correct info and enjoy. | 21:03 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, im attempting install from within "try ubuntu" | 21:03 |
| glebihan | nicofs, and still no password prompt and same authentication error ? | 21:03 |
| bsmith093 | zykotick9: so whats the rm command to empty a folderr without deleteling it | 21:03 |
| nicofs | glebihan, yes | 21:03 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, im chill, just frustrated, thats all. pls hold... | 21:03 |
| glebihan | nicofs, is there anything else in the error message ? | 21:04 |
| kernelpanicker | I'm setting up a new VPS in 10.04 LTS... can/should I set it up under git version control? | 21:04 |
| zykotick9 | bsmith093, cd into it first - "cd ~/Downloads" then run "rm *" [BE CAREFUL!!!] | 21:04 |
| indrora | On 11.04 and attempting to install nvidia-96 -- this forces xorg to be removed. Bug? | 21:04 |
| bsmith093 | zykotick9: thanks done | 21:04 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, I can omly help by saying get the right info, do you realize this? I'm quite sure that a dynamic to gpt is more than remving [artitkons, and not even sure about running it alongside the main dynamic. | 21:05 |
| nicofs | glebihan, "Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server" | 21:05 |

| indrora | mister2: run "route" -- does it hang? | 21:06 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, ok. i came here for the right info but w/e. i appreciate your help. | 21:06 |
| x_ | moved my ubuntu (current version) computer with nvidia hdmi card to my tv in the basement, (nvidia settings and ubuntu both say the tv is 720p native but it's really 1080i or p can't remember. Anyway 720p works fine, when I switch to 1080 it's all blurry, works fine upstairs on a different tv any ideas? | 21:06 |
| leach | anyone help - my gnome shell path is different then that in /etc/environment - and i have no idea where it got ruined | 21:06 |
| indrora | x_: TV doesn't support 1080p. | 21:06 |
| zykotick9 | x_, sounds like the TV is actually 720p to me | 21:06 |
| x_ | its not, my 360 works fine in 1080p | 21:07 |
| x_ | err i | 21:07 |
| andrewbird_ | Is there a way to prevent a specific program from using a GTK theme ? I'm on Natty. | 21:07 |
| === andrewbird_ is now known as yup | ||
| indrora | x_: the xb360 will "gracefully" fallback on 720p if it cannot "accurately" do 1080p. | 21:08 |
| indrora | Silently. | 21:08 |
| zykotick9 | x_, nvidia-settings / ubuntu say otherwise. Good luck. | 21:08 |
| urlin2u | JoshM, as far all your perils here 2 dynamic discs probably and converting the web, may be your better choice. On line now are many power users none have said a word. | 21:08 |
| mister2 | indora: it did for a moment, but route finished working and i seem to have irc while on wireless right now... | 21:08 |
| anli_ | Whats up with buttons in the taskbar that are disabled and I can never restore the window? | 21:08 |
| glebihan | nicofs, did you try running update-manager from the command-line to see if you could get some more detailed error messages ? | 21:09 |
| x_ | im so confusednow. | 21:09 |

| mister2 | indrora: and my firefox isn't working... | 21:10 |
| indrora | mister2: Not Your Box then. | 21:10 |
| ionosphre | I'm attempting to do this from the Hardy Heron minimal | 21:10 |
| urlin2u | ionosphre, can you hard plug the net? | 21:10 |
| ionosphre | yes | 21:10 |
| ionosphre | and it is | 21:10 |
| mister2 | indrora: could it be my dns configuration? | 21:10 |
| urlin2u | ionosphre, hardy is end of life. | 21:11 |
| ionosphre | which actually leads to another question of mine | 21:11 |
| ionosphre | There is a specially built kernel for the eeepc | 21:11 |
| indrora | mister2: Probably. | 21:11 |
| lizbeth | I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. | 21:11 |
| ionosphre | but it appears to have stopped development after jaunty | 21:12 |
| mister2 | indrora: k thanks, i'll look into it | 21:12 |
| x_ | indrora, so maybe your right but why does my 360 say it's 1080i then, just a mis detection ? | 21:12 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 21:12 |
| zykotick9 | ionosphre, most (probably all) the eee specific stuff has been in mainline kernel for a while! | 21:12 |
| indrora | x_: the xbox will lie. | 21:12 |
| lizbeth | Hello. Does someone know how to reconfigure x-server? | 21:12 |
| cristian_c | I would like to operate the keys with the keyboard wireless media desktop | 21:12 |
| ionosphre | So should I instead do a more recent LTS minimal install? | 21:13 |
| neozen | #foxycart | 21:13 |
| x_ | indrora, I guess im just stupid I thought this was a 1080 tv when I bought it. | 21:13 |
| zykotick9 | ionosphre, only if you want a more current (security supported system) | 21:13 |
| urlin2u | ionosphre, yes lucid | 21:13 |
| cristian_c | I connected everything and used the KeyTouch program to configure the keys | 21:13 |
| blumaa | hi, i'm having problems with my sound. in my sound properties, under hardware, there are no associated devices. can someone help? | 21:14 |
| lizbeth | I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 | 21:14 |
| cristian_c | I found this wiki page at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyTouch | 21:14 |
| indrora | x_: Some devices are poorly marked. | 21:14 |
| ionosphre | perfect guys, thanks | 21:14 |
| indrora | Can anyone tell me if doing an apt-get install nvidia-96 will cause 11.04 to die/ | 21:14 |
| cristian_c | from the back of the keyboard you can see that this is the model Media Wireless Desktop (Y-RAC66) while on the wiki, including keyboards is supported Media Wireless Desktop (Y-RAE68) | 21:15 |
| FreezingCold | I can't unmount my filesystem! | 21:15 |
| FreezingCold | umount: /home/family/livecdtmp/edit/dev: device is busy. | 21:15 |
| x_ | indrora, yea, it says max resolution 1366 by something so you are right, Guess I was in too big of a hurry when I bought it. | 21:15 |
| glebihan | nicofs, are you still there ? | 21:15 |
| nicofs | glebihan, as soon as i can, i will... but i guess i just wrecked the system... | 21:15 |
| glebihan | nicofs, what happened ? | 21:16 |
| cristian_c | I selected it from keytouch, and not all the keys worked | 21:16 |

| Nitax | If I want to change the default permissions for new files in a directory, is the recommended way to set a umask with ACL or is there a better, ubuntu recommended way? | 21:16 |
| nicofs | glebihan, gksudo update-manager doesn't work | 21:16 |
| glebihan | nicofs, could you try do-release-upgrade from terminal and tell me what is says ? | 21:17 |
| cristian_c | but following the keytouch editor manual, I opened Keytouch Editor to make the keyboard supported | 21:17 |
| nicofs | glebihan, but i have a backup from when we started, so if i can't get this thing working, i'll just put that back up... | 21:17 |
| nicofs | glebihan, give me a few minutes - my work just got inbetween... | 21:17 |
| glebihan | nicofs, no problem | 21:18 |

| lizbeth | I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 | 21:19 |

| glebihan | UbuN2, I don't think there's a specific channel for that but you might get help here. Also have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 21:19 |
| urlin2u | UbuN2, I see none in the channel lists | 21:19 |

| UbuN2 | just cant get display to work | 21:20 |

| muneeb | is evolution broken after update? | 21:22 |
| blumaa | so... does that mean nobody has any ideas? | 21:22 |
| cristian_c | added to the list all keys I saved the keyboard file called labtec_mwd_yrac66_kbd. At this point I open keytouch again to select the new keyboard introduced in the database. I choose it and try to set the keys | 21:22 |
| blumaa | the thing is that i have a dual boot and in windows the sound works fine.... | 21:22 |
| Dr_Willis | UbuN2: You might want to summarize what you are trying to accomplish. and your situation. | 21:22 |
| Dr_Willis | !sound | 21:23 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 21:23 |
| UbuN2 | im trying to run gnome in chroot enviroment | 21:23 |
| zykotick9 | UbuN2, why? | 21:23 |
| Dr_Willis | UbuN2: and why are you trying to do this? | 21:23 |
| muneeb | any help with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/672729/ | 21:23 |
| UbuN2 | for learning purposes | 21:23 |
| Dr_Willis | You mean run 'X' in a chroot env. :) You will need to set up /dev/ and other things befor you chroot i imagine.. | 21:23 |
| cristian_c | as the first test I set the mail key (but remember I tried other keys), choosing the program to use and the field is filled with evolution - component = mail | 21:23 |
| mister2 | hey, how do i change the broadcast address of a wireless connection? | 21:24 |
| UbuN2 | yes i have setup up my fstab | 21:24 |
| Dr_Willis | fstab? what does fstab have to do with it UbuN2 | 21:24 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis, well, quite a lot - it's one element to chrooting | 21:24 |
| blumaa | ubottu, the thing is that I have no idea which one of those to do | 21:25 |
| UbuN2 | all my procs are set but for somereason display wont start | 21:25 |
| zykotick9 | blumaa, ubottu isn't a real person - it's a bot | 21:25 |
| nicofs | glebihan, this might actually take a moment... | 21:25 |
| Dr_Willis | zykotick9 be nice if he was a bit more detailed.. but if hes just learning.. i guess he can go do some reading. :) | 21:25 |
| blumaa | ah | 21:25 |
| glebihan | nicofs, ok I may be there anymore when you come back then | 21:26 |
| cristian_c | And then I press Ok or Apply, but in both cases if I press the key, the computer goes into standby (and of course then asks me the password to unlock it), instead of opening evolution. Even if I fill out the field only with the string 'evolution' the same thing happens | 21:26 |
| lizbeth | I can't start the desktop environtment after upgrade. 10.10 to 11.04 | 21:26 |
| Dr_Willis | to get X going in a chroot - i imagine you have to set up /dev/ in the chroot also -> mount --rbind /dev /mnt/chroot/dev (for one thing) | 21:26 |
| glebihan | nicofs, just to summarize, I think you have 2 distinct problems (the sudo one and the upgrade) | 21:26 |
| Dr_Willis | and /proc/ perhaps? been ages.. | 21:26 |
| glebihan | nicofs, some reading I've done suggest that you try to run "gpg" as your normal user for the upgrade problem (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/78673) | 21:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 78673 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "edgy->feisty dist-upgrade only works if ~/.gnupg file is there" [High,Fix released] | 21:27 |
| glebihan | nicofs, meant I may *not* be there anymore | 21:27 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis, my chroot mounts http://paste.ubuntu.com/672731/ | 21:27 |
| glebihan | nicofs, anyway, hope you get to solve those problems | 21:27 |
| mister2 | hey, how do i change the broadcast address of a wireless connection? | 21:28 |
| nicofs | glebihan, the gpg thing was what i tried first... | 21:28 |
| cristian_c | Why with keytouch editor is the keyboard recognized and with keytouch not? How can I find a solution? | 21:28 |
| glebihan | nicofs, ok... | 21:28 |
| nicofs | glebihan, thanks for all your help - maybe i'll write to you 2morrow... | 21:28 |
| UbuN2 | ok Dr_Willis | 21:29 |
| UbuN2 | i will carry on | 21:29 |
| glebihan | nicofs, you're welcome and I'll be there tomorrow | 21:29 |
| Dr_Willis | UbuN2: cant say that ive ever needed to chroot a user so that they run the Desktop in a chrooted enviroment.. a bit overkill id say. | 21:29 |
| UbuN2 | yeah but ok for learning when bored | 21:30 |
| UbuN2 | 8-| | 21:30 |
| Dr_Willis | I can think of other things worth learning... | 21:30 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 21:30 |
| UbuN2 | give me some | 21:30 |
| UbuN2 | 8-P | 21:30 |

| Nitax | What is the ubuntu recommended method to set up default permissions for files created in a specific directory? | 21:33 |
| mister2 | my wireless card is broadcasting on 192.168.0.255, how do i change this back to the default 255.255.255.0? | 21:33 |
| zykotick9 | Nitax, umask | 21:33 |
| zykotick9 | Nitax, oh, "specific directory" i don't think umask will help. good luck. | 21:33 |
| Nitax | zykotick9: and to make umask specific to that directory, for any user that creates files there? | 21:33 |
| alpha | I'm trying to install (from source) a program that tells me I need "gtk+-2.0", but what do I need to install (using synaptics) in order to have gtk+? | 21:33 |
| Nitax | I have a link that tells how to set up ACL w/ umask but I wasn't sure if that was the best way. | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | Nitax, i think ACLs i possibly the only way - not something i've played with | 21:34 |
| alpha | will libgtk-3.0 be enough or do I also need the -dev version? | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | s/i/is/ | 21:34 |
| blumaa | helloo... i am running through the sound troubleshooting and it seems that i have no loaded modules for ALSA and no driver version... do i just add a new one? and if so, how? | 21:35 |
| zykotick9 | alpha, you need the -dev versions to compile against - but not sure about the 2 vs 3 issue. | 21:35 |
| bsmith093 | does any one know of an offline wikiepdia reader thats natively for ubuntu | 21:35 |
| zykotick9 | !checkinstall | alpha | 21:35 |
| ubottu | alpha: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 21:35 |
| zykotick9 | alpha, the above checkinstall can make "cleaning up" a LOT easier BTW | 21:36 |
| glebihan | alpha, if it's asking for gtk2, don't install gtk3 | 21:36 |
| alpha | ok, thanks to all! | 21:36 |

| kernelpanicker | then provide myself sudo abilities? | 21:40 |
| blumaa | help? | 21:40 |
| zykotick9 | kernelpanicker, if you have "root" then what do you need exactly? You want your user to be able to "sudo" if so, just add the user to the "admin" group | 21:40 |
| kernelpanicker | zykotick9, OK | 21:40 |

Does anyone knows how can I configure it right? Using ubuntu 10.04 but the problems happened since 8.10 :\ | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | zRomayn: that dosent really make a lot of sence to me then.. from my networking basics that i know. you are basically splitting the stuff up then mergeingit back at teh switch. no real gains of any type. | 22:31 |
| bugaloo | zRomayn, sorry, I dont know if I got it... you want to change eth0 and eth1? | 22:32 |

| zRomayn | Dr_Willis - so aside from the performance/security/implementation point of view, is there any way to make eth1 the primary iface in ubuntu | 22:32 |
| zRomayn | ubuntu sets eth0 as the primary iface | 22:33 |

| zRomayn | urlin2u, this is my home lab | 22:33 |

How do I combine these all in one single command? NOTE: When running tabbed I do get some error messages about missing fontsets, but t | 22:34 |

| Dr_Willis | zRomayn: why does it matter which is 'primary' ? (a bit of a vague term) | 22:35 |
| zRomayn | Dr_Willis, say my host is called A, and then i want to ping A from host B. I want host A to reply to host B via its primary iface | 22:36 |
| bugaloo | I think he wants the "primary" card to be the eth0, right zRomayn ? | 22:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not even sure where this term Primary came from... | 22:36 |
| bugaloo | zRomayn, now I got it | 22:36 |
| zRomayn | bugaloo, i want the primary to be eth1 | 22:36 |
| bugaloo | zRomayn, this is only routing | 22:37 |
| Dr_Willis | bugaloo: right.. routeing.. :) | 22:37 |
| bugaloo | you dont need to worry about who is eth0 or eth1 | 22:37 |
| zRomayn | there's gotta be an /etc/rc file, let me check | 22:37 |
| bugaloo | you just need to say which network is in what interface | 22:37 |
| bugaloo | like.... 10.0.0.0/8 eth1 0.0.0.0 eth0 | 22:37 |
| Dr_Willis | host b has 2 interfaces if it has 2 nics. | 22:38 |
| bugaloo | Dr_Willis, it could have two interfaces with 1 nic, hehe... a virtual one, like eth0:0 | 22:38 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders if we are refering to the default route.. | 22:38 | |
| bugaloo | Dr_Willis, I though so, hehe | 22:38 |
| Dr_Willis | but ive never seen anyone put 2 nics tothe same lan.. always to 2 differnt lans.... so differnt ip/ranges. | 22:39 |
| bugaloo | zRomayn, let us to know... what are the IP address of both interfaces? | 22:39 |

| zRomayn | guys, guys, i'm a network admin, and i have plenty of network experience. i'm just new to ubuntu/linux and don't quite seem to find where i can change the primary network interfaces | 22:40 |
| zRomayn | let's put it this way, the order of ifaces | 22:40 |
| bugaloo | zRomayn, the problem is... we dont know what you mean by "primary iface" | 22:41 |
| === maz is now known as maz-sans-cause | ||
| bugaloo | zRomayn, so I'm going to ask you again: you want to invert eth0 and eth1? | 22:41 |
| zRomayn | if you open up the network information on a windows host that has more than 1 iface, you will notice that it will set one as primary, or first in the list, and the other one as secondary. that's where i'm going with this. | 22:42 |
| zRomayn | bugaloo, yes, i want to invert them, if that makes more sense to you | 22:42 |
| bugaloo | zRomayn, actually it doesn't make sense "why" to invert it... it doesn't really matter which one is the 0 and which is 1 | 22:42 |
| bugaloo | but if you want it, you can try that file I told you... /etc/network/interfaces... | 22:43 |
| bugaloo | zRomayn, also... both nics are the same model? | 22:43 |
| scythefwd | isn't that just a mapping in /etc/interfaces/network bugaloo | 22:44 |
| bugaloo | zRomayn, if they're different models (and modules), you can unload the modules, and then load the modules in right order... | 22:44 |
| bugaloo | I guess it'd be a stupid solution, but anyway, hehe | 22:44 |
| bugaloo | scythefwd, it depends... I'm assuming he's using a server, not gnome | 22:44 |
| zRomayn | bugaloo, i tried that file and it is not what i'm looking for. and the ifaces aren't the same model. additionally, i tried playing with this file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules with no success | 22:44 |
| bugaloo | zRomayn, the first module loaded will be eth0 | 22:45 |
| bugaloo | you can try it | 22:45 |
| zRomayn | well, i guess i'll try playing with this later. i'm just going to play with my son now. | 22:45 |
| bugaloo | another stupid solution would be change the network cables, hehe | 22:45 |
| bugaloo | and IPs of course | 22:45 |
| scythefwd | zromayn, if not, you can open yourbox and usually the mac address is listed on the card (it is on my intels and my linksys cards I had back in the day) | 22:45 |
| scythefwd | bug, that changes the structure and function of the /etc/interfaces/network file? | 22:45 |
| bugaloo | scythefwd, good question... i'm not sure now | 22:46 |
| scythefwd | bug, would swapping pci slots have any effect | 22:46 |
| bugaloo | scythefwd, pci slots? I dont think so | 22:46 |
| scythefwd | bug, how are the interfaces identified and then numbered? Could it be by bus location, in which the PCI slots could effect the numbering. If it is alphabetical by mac, then you may be out of luck, if it is a mapping somewhere, then it can be edited | 22:48 |
| Sebo | How can I set up ubuntu to run some other program at tty4. For instance I'd like to run 'ssh somehost' there insted the default login? | 22:48 |
| MACscr | so i use nautilus all the time for mounting ftp folders, is there a way for me to export that list of sites and its passwords? I need to import it into another app | 22:48 |
| bugaloo | scythefwd, well... the first module loaded is the first (eth0)... but when the interfaces use the same module, then I dont know | 22:49 |
| bugaloo | it's random to me, hehe | 22:49 |
| bugaloo | but when you have two equal NICs, I think it's easier to change the network cable between the two boards :P | 22:50 |
| LogicallyDashing | lololololol | 22:50 |
| scythefwd | There is some order, has to be or you're nics and the IP bindings would flop back and forth when you reboot | 22:50 |
| === brandon is now known as BrandonBolton | ||
| scythefwd | it'd make sense to use the MAC since they are unique (well, supposedly... IT legend is that there was a screwup at a nic factory and they stamped a few hundred cards with the same mac way back when) | 22:51 |
| Sebo | Or anything ... as for instance # su someuser if I'd like to alocate this tty to that user and just not ask for his password | 22:51 |
| bugaloo | maybe | 22:51 |
| Dr_Willis | scythefwd: those are either udev rules.. or which module loads first. | 22:52 |
| BrandonBolton | Hello, is it easy to set up a domain with Linux? | 22:52 |
| bugaloo | BrandonBolton, easy or hard is a subjective concept, hehe | 22:52 |
| bugaloo | Sebo, to users, you can use the .bashrc | 22:53 |
| urlin2u | bugaloo, and a dichotomy. | 22:54 |
| BrandonBolton | bugaloo, I like the way you think. I challenge is pretty easy sometimes, it will just be the whole thing of learning an new OS and command line associated with it. | 22:54 |
| scythefwd | dr - my point was more that there is a logical set of rules that will always identify the same nic as eth0 | 22:54 |
| bugaloo | BrandonBolton, well... you 'll have to configure DNS service, that's not trivial to some people | 22:54 |
| Austin` | I get a segfault when I run glxinfo: http://pastie.org/2413871 any ideas? | 22:54 |
| BrandonBolton | bugaloo, That will be the most hardest part most likely. Windows made it a little to easy and a little to easy to crash, also. | 22:55 |
| bugaloo | BrandonBolton, I dont know about windows config, never did it | 22:56 |
| scythefwd | dr - besides, wouldn't to intel pro cards use the same module loaded twice? The module would have to have some way of determining which nic was which, and while MAC is probably not it, there is something unique associated with that card | 22:56 |

| BrandonBolton | bugaloo, It is just clicking one button on the Server Manager. It is pretty straightforward. What distro do you recommend to create a domain in? Perhaps any great sources to learn from on the topic? :) | 22:57 |
| bugaloo | hehe | 22:58 |
| bugaloo | BrandonBolton, you can use any GUI to configure DNS on linux, but I prefer just to edit the files | 22:58 |
| JoshM | urlin2u, grub config is fine, windows starts up fine, no problems. gonna upgrade to 11.04 later on. | 22:58 |
| BrandonBolton | bugaloo, To Google and Youtube it is ;) I know what my plans for today is ;) | 22:59 |
| silverarrow | does someone have time to walk me through the steps of adding ppa and upgrading minitube, it is turned out to be majorly diffucult, for a mere mortal | 22:59 |
| bugaloo | BrandonBolton, now I'm confused hehe | 22:59 |
| bugaloo | didn't get what's the point | 23:00 |
| bugaloo | sorry, maybe it's my bad english :) | 23:00 |
| scythefwd | and in the same vein, what does ppa stand for | 23:00 |
| Dr_Willis | silverarrow: which ppa were you trying to use? | 23:01 |
| BrandonBolton | bugaloo, I made it confusing, sorry, so I am just going to go try and set up a Domain with file services and Active Directory and all of that good stuff. :) | 23:01 |
| bugaloo | BrandonBolton, but you want to host a domain that owns to you, right? | 23:01 |
| silverarrow | Dr_willis, I think I tried at least three different ways to add ppa, | 23:02 |
| BrandonBolton | bugaloo, Sorry, I wasn't thinking of a web server I am thinking about a full on network running in my home. I just referred to it as a domain. v.v | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | silverarrow: which PPA were you using.. theres really only one way to add one thats normally used... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name | 23:03 |
| silverarrow | Dr_Willis, I have to look it up again, I've been on this half the day | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | https://launchpad.net/~chimerarevo/+archive/minitube is first hit i saw... You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:chimerarevo/minitube | 23:03 |
| silverarrow | mosca roberto something | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | so you would replace the ppa:user/ppa-name with ppa:chimeravo/minitube when you run teh command | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chimerarevo/minitube | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | then update/upgrade/install the program | 23:04 |
| bugaloo | BrandonBolton, oh ok | 23:05 |

| bugaloo | hi all... I have a dv2000 hp notebook, and I just can't see my headphones volume control, also my speakers doesn't mute when I plug the headphones. Plus, if I choose to sound only goes to the right speaker, it only goes to my right ear on headphones. if I put the sound 'center', it goes to the both ears AND speakers. Does anyone knows how can I configure it right? Using ubuntu 10.04 but the problems happened since 8.10 | 23:09 |

| Vitor | hi there | 23:12 |
| Q-jackechan_ | i need help getting a plugin working in firefox | 23:13 |
| bugaloo | Q-jackechan_, what plugin? | 23:13 |
| Q-jackechan_ | it's a .msi =/ | 23:13 |
| bugaloo | oO | 23:13 |
| Q-jackechan_ | file is named: CambridgeSoft_ChemDraw_McGraw-Hill_12.0.3.1267.msi.zip | 23:13 |
| Vitor | can someone tell me why when I install ubuntu or any version of linux on my eee and I try to enter my wireless the system freezes? | 23:13 |
| silverarrow | I could say something nasty about computer issues right now | 23:14 |
| FreezingCold | I currently have no desktop manager, if I install Xfce will it install by default? | 23:14 |
| FreezingCold | *will it start up | 23:14 |
| bugaloo | Vitor, I had a eeepc with ubuntu and I had no problem with that... but it was some time ago, maybe with 8.10 | 23:15 |
| silverarrow | Vitor, no, a bit unusual | 23:15 |
| Q-jackechan_ | advice on the street so far has been to get a virtual box, install windows, install a browser, and install the plugin in that browser. | 23:15 |
| Q-jackechan_ | anyone have a simpler solution? | 23:15 |
| Vitor | i have read somenething on a forum about some update to the kernel | 23:15 |
| Vitor | but i dont remember it anymore | 23:15 |
| bugaloo | Q-jackechan_, wine? | 23:15 |
| ctrldan | PRIVMSG | 23:16 |
| Q-jackechan_ | Bugaloo, how? | 23:16 |
| Vitor | its very wierd cause i had already installed ubuntu on the eee befire | 23:16 |
| Vitor | before | 23:16 |
| Vitor | * | 23:16 |
| Vitor | but now when i do it behaves like that | 23:16 |
| bugaloo | Q-jackechan_, try to install windows firefox via wine | 23:17 |
| bugaloo | I think it's simpler than virtualbox | 23:17 |
| FreezingCold | How can I add sudo add-apt-repository ppa:koshi/xfce-4.8 without using add-apt-repository? | 23:17 |
| Q-jackechan_ | i just started apt-get wine | 23:17 |
| bugaloo | and you need less space, hehe | 23:17 |
| Vitor | i have net on cable but if i try wireless it freezes the computer | 23:17 |
| bugaloo | Q-jackechan_, if you have wine installed, try to download the firefox intaller for windows, and start it with: wine ./firefox-installer.exe | 23:17 |
| Vitor | i tryed this on ubuntu kubuntu and fedora and backtrack | 23:17 |
| bugaloo | it should work | 23:17 |
| Q-jackechan_ | bugaloo, wine installation is in progress. how do i install firefox in wine? | 23:18 |
| lyrae | Hi i just upgraded ubuntu from 11.04. Not digging the vertical app/sidebar at all. anyway to remove it? | 23:18 |
| Vitor | at log in | 23:18 |
| luigi | lyrae: Try logging out and selecting "Ubuntu Classic" | 23:18 |
| bugaloo | Q-jackechan_, if you have wine installed, try to download the firefox intaller for windows, and start it with: wine ./firefox-installer.exe | 23:18 |
| Vitor | choose gnome classic | 23:18 |
| silverarrow | Vitor, puppy linux often handles these quirks differently, but it its not a reguar full installation distro, but really full distro in other respects | 23:19 |
| Q-jackechan_ | will that work if i save it to the desktop? or will i have to cd around a bunch? | 23:19 |
| bugaloo | I hated the new layout :\ just downgraded to 10.10 because of it | 23:19 |
| lyrae | luigi, thanks. are there many more changes? this kind of resembles the ubutu for netbook i installed months ago. Would i be better off switching to xununtu? | 23:19 |
| lyrae | yeah im not a fan | 23:19 |
| Vitor | silverarrow: i really would like to have ubuntu working, i tought about wireless card prob but it cant be or wouldnt work on windows too | 23:20 |
| luigi | lyrae: If you want my PERSONAL opinion, the interface I'm a big fan of on my netbook is GNOME 3. It's not supported here though. There are other distros that offer gnome 3 support officially though, like Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Arch linux. | 23:20 |
| silverarrow | Vitor, probably driver issues, but weird having the entire puter freeze | 23:21 |
| Q-jackechan_ | anyone got a url for the windows firefox dl? it's autodetecting ubuntu and feeding me tarballs. | 23:21 |
| silverarrow | Vitor, makes me think it's something more | 23:21 |
| lyrae | luigi, thanks | 23:21 |
| lion42 | Q-jackechan_, if there's a linux version... | 23:21 |

| Cornell | I'm running ubuntu 10.4, there's a tracker indexing application. It's icon lately has been flashing. The status indicates 0 items indexed. I've tried disabling it. Didn't seem to work. system monitor says tracker-applet is > 300 MB in memory and 98% cpu usage. Tried to open the preferences again, but system is unresponsive. I also, on a perhaps unrelated matter, upgraded to firefox 6. Anyway, I clicked on the power icon and eve | 23:49 |
| Q-jackechan_ | but it said the file is corrupt | 23:49 |
| Q-jackechan_ | ... i just downloaded it | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | point it to the actual .zip file perhaps.. it MIGHT be bad.. | 23:49 |

| Q-jackechan_ | k, i'll try that | 23:49 |
| bugaloo | true | 23:49 |

| bugaloo | imbored, try eu.undernet.org... lots of sex channels there :P | 23:50 |

| Q-jackechan_ | i'm gonna try dling it again. | 23:51 |
| Cornell | ... to not even boot into grub? | 23:51 |
| Q-jackechan_ | and pointing it to the new zip | 23:51 |
| bugaloo | yes, maybe | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Q-jackechan_: cut/paste the url to the .zip in firefox.. let it download it. :) | 23:52 |

| Dr_Willis | its a windows executable.... you install with wine | 23:55 |
| Q-jackechan_ | sorry th0r, i'm just a little annoyed at the moment. i need to get these working in ubuntu | 23:55 |
| Q-jackechan_ | i apologize for snapping at you | 23:56 |
| bugaloo | Q-jackechan_, Dr_Willis has a point... try to open the msi file using wine, just like you installed firefox | 23:56 |
| Jasonn | lol @ who ever was thinking a .msi is a ff extension | 23:56 |
| Q-jackechan_ | >_< that'd be me | 23:56 |
| Jasonn | oh | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | wine msiexec /i xyz.msi | 23:56 |
| Q-jackechan_ | ok, so then i have to install it in i-explore i'd wager. | 23:56 |
| th0r | bugaloo: he will have to install the windows software installer first, it isn't part of wine | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | wine can install msi's | 23:56 |
| Q-jackechan_ | guide me o linux gods. cause i have no idea what your talking about. | 23:57 |
| Dr_Willis | steam comes as a msi. | 23:57 |
| Dr_Willis | wine msiexec /i xyz.msi <------------------------------------------------ to install a msi | 23:57 |
| Jasonn | Q-jackechan_: Plus, if you are running a game, I would NOT recommend using wine | 23:57 |
| Q-jackechan_ | it's not a game. it's chemistry homework online | 23:57 |
| Jasonn | is its a complex program? | 23:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Alternatively: | 23:58 |
| Dr_Willis | wine start whatever.msi | 23:58 |
| Jasonn | if you really need it, then I would strongly recommend running winxp as a dual boot, or as a vm | 23:58 |
| Q-jackechan_ | hold on, so i put wine msiexec /i [filename].msi into terminal? | 23:58 |
| Jasonn | Q-jackechan_: ^ | 23:58 |
| Q-jackechan_ | i dont have winxp =/ | 23:58 |
| Jasonn | Q-jackechan_: Good luck running something you rely on under wine then.. | 23:59 |
| Q-jackechan_ | it's not really all that intense of a program (i hope) | 23:59 |
