| ryanf | this is on a live server | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| exutux | ryanf: maybe reboot | 00:00 |
| Polah | shadows090: Yes, or use a network share or something | 00:00 |
| ryanf | I can't | 00:00 |
| ryanf | or at least I'd rather not | 00:00 |
| shadows090 | Polah, ah i don't know why i didn't think of that. samba or something. thank you | 00:00 |
| exutux | ryanf: try to type sync | 00:00 |
| ryanf | worst case scenario I can just replace the whole box, but it'd be nice to have a real solution for this issue since it has come up before | 00:01 |
| slakcphil | shadowns090, yeah the easiest for me is install apache2 and then stick the files to be shared in /var/www | 00:01 |
| cdelapena | hi | 00:01 |
| cdelapena | how do i change my default home directory | 00:01 |
| Polah | shadows090: If you're going to/from Linux then yes, Samba. | 00:01 |
| ryanf | exutux: didn't do anything | 00:01 |
| Polah | shadows090: to/from Windows* | 00:01 |
| shadows090 | cdelapena, in /etc/passwd | 00:01 |
| false | K: Been a while since I've run ubuntu and I've looked online but not understanding what they're doing. On a laptop and my wirless is disabled by switch. Proper steps to get it enabled? | 00:01 |
| shadows090 | Polah, to/from linux | 00:01 |
| cdelapena | shadows090, what do i do there? | 00:02 |
| testib | ryanf: is it possible that the file you deleted still exists somewhere else and you have just remove one physical link of a file that has several names? | 00:02 |
| exutux | shadows090: linux to linux use nfs | 00:02 |
| shadows090 | cdelapena, you just edit the /etc/passwd file. i think it's the second colomn that shows your home folder | 00:02 |
| testib | *removed | 00:02 |
| Polah | shadows090: well if both machines are linux you shouldn't need samba | 00:02 |
| shadows090 | cdelapena, you would need to be root in order to do that. so, sudo | 00:02 |
| ryanf | testib: fairly sure that's not it, because if I run a du on / I can see that the space is no longer being taken up by anything | 00:02 |
| ryanf | I'll check though | 00:02 |
| shadows090 | Polah, exutux true. i've never used nfs, but have samba installed on the server. how do I use nfs? | 00:03 |
| exutux | cdelapena: look usermod manual | 00:03 |
| shadows090 | well..that's probably easiest with google i suppose | 00:03 |
| exutux | !nfs | shadows090 | 00:03 |
| ubottu | shadows090: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 00:03 |
| shadows090 | exutux, thank you | 00:03 |
| ryanf | oh, too late, I never did an ls -l and now the file is gone | 00:03 |
| exutux | shadows090: np | 00:03 |
| ryanf | but like I said, that seems very unlikely given the output of du | 00:04 |
| ryanf | df must be reading out of some kind of cache right? | 00:04 |
| testib | ryanf: could the "other name" of the file be in a folder that isn't accessible to du because there's another mounted file system hiding it? | 00:05 |
| Polah | ryanf: Did you check any trash folders? | 00:05 |
| exutux | ryanf: sudo updatedb | 00:05 |
| ryanf | testib: I'm not sure I understand how that situation could arise. what do you mean by hiding? | 00:06 |
| testib | ryanf: is the file you deleted a log file that could be open for writing by a running process? If so the space won't be freed until the process closes the file. | 00:06 |
| ryanf | oh shit, that is probably it | 00:06 |
| ryanf | yep | 00:06 |
| ryanf | thanks!! | 00:06 |
| testib | you are welcome :) | 00:07 |
| ryanf | I assumed the process had died | 00:07 |
| notlistening | Hi I have a crontab set up to run every 10 minutes, however it runs every 10 past the hour, here is the crontab -e output http://pastebin.com/6BM4fLQq | 00:07 |
| Polah | ryanf: For log files I'd recommend rewriting them with output from /dev/null rather than deleting them. That way they still exist to be written to so the program doesn't throw and error or have to make a new one, but all the data in them is removed | 00:07 |
| notlistening | I have tried different variation to get it running properly | 00:07 |
| testib | ryanf: by hiding I meant your file is in /log/file.log and you have a file system mounted on /log. The file /log/file.log would be totally invisible until /log is unmounted. (but I guess that doesn't mater any more now that your problem is fixed :)) | 00:08 |

| Refefer | Hi there, I've just updated a long running ubuntu 9.04 server to 10.10 to discover my ethernet has decided to kick the bucket. Anyone willing to help me diagnose what's going on? | 00:09 |
| notlistening | hence the time,time layout seen there | 00:09 |
| shadows090 | notlistening, i'm not trying to sound dense, but i don't see one scheduled to run every 10 min. which crontab is supposed to? | 00:10 |
| exutux | notlistening: */10 * * * command this is correct and run every 10 min | 00:10 |
| notlistening | exutux The top two entries unless they are totally wrong | 00:10 |
| notlistening | exutux, 24 / 25 | 00:11 |

| notlistening | I have tried that already | 00:12 |
| notlistening | I will change it again | 00:12 |
| shadows090 | notlistening, i would suspect something with the script isn't right then | 00:12 |

| notlistening | shadows090, the script for the svn auto set up script runs and creates the repo as root I allow access through ssh directly to this and limit access based on groups | 00:17 |

| exutux | Reaper: lol | 00:17 |
| ubuntnoob | anyways, network boot client hangs after vmlinuz install, initrm.img install and sits at 'Ready' | 00:18 |

| StrangeCharm | ikonia, how do you figure? | 01:21 |
| exutux | w45p: maybe, I never used xinput | 01:21 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: because a clean install doesn't fix it - as it breaks for no reason | 01:22 |

| StrangeCharm | ikonia, no, it doesn't break for no reason, i just don't know what the reason is | 01:22 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: you can't say that, you'll need to work it through | 01:22 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: it's most likley an supported bit of hardware with a specific kernel module, most likley video card, that's the most common cause, an update probably breaks it | 01:23 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: however you'll need to work it through to find out what the trigger is | 01:23 |

| === maku` is now known as maku | ||

| NewNattyUser | Jordan_U: is there anyway for install ubuntu booting from network ? | 01:32 |

| ^-Lord-^ | how does one open a command prompt on this? | 01:33 |
| Jordan_U | StrangeCharm: An example (that I've actually seen) after installing a new kernel the computer would completely fail to boot. The reason was that the new kernel contained firmware for a device not previously supported. This machine didn't have a powerfull enough power supply and the extra initialized piece of hardware put it over the edge. Is that a kernel bug? | 01:33 |
| rypervenche | ^-Lord-^: ctrl+alt+T | 01:33 |

| rypervenche | ^-Lord-^: Would you like a very nice PDF to help you learn the command line? | 01:34 |
| ^-Lord-^ | oh heck yes | 01:34 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: if ati don't keep their drivers up to date with the kernel abi, and a kernel update breaks them, that's not a kernel bug, that's an issue with the 3rd party ati modules | 01:34 |
| ^-Lord-^ | I used to know some commands from some years ago... but haven't used them | 01:34 |

| polifasio | ikonia: actually, unstable abis _are_ kernel issues | 01:35 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: it's just an example to highlight how a kernel update can break things, but it not be a kernel bug | 01:35 |
| ikonia | polifasio: I didn't say unstable | 01:35 |
| notlistening | now its working i think every minute let wait and see | 01:35 |

| exutux | notlistening: yes * * * * * <---each minute | 01:36 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: as long as you get the point, it's fine. it won't help if you log a bug against the wrong info | 01:36 |

| ikonia | StrangeCharm: just work it through methodically as I suggested | 01:37 |
| exutux | notlistening: you want test it for all 60 minutes? :D | 01:37 |
| StrangeCharm | ikonia, i'm not sure of a process for that. it's not exactly trivial for me to roll back kernel updates one at a time...? | 01:37 |

| joserramon | do you know if I can use Ubuntu (or some kind of Linux) for the all in one HP Omni200-5410 computer ?? I wanted to buy it. I'm browsing the "Linux Hardware Compatibility" web page, but that model is not in the list. | 01:38 |

| ikonia | StrangeCharm: I'll put money on ati/nvidia 3rd party modules, it's always them | 01:39 |

| ikonia | StrangeCharm: all the more reason to work it through then | 01:39 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: bcm (broadcom) network cards can also cause pain with it | 01:40 |

| physically_fit | hello my friends | 01:46 |
| Bookman | bazhang, yeah simple search of synaptic found me that one....sorry about the quick question trigger! | 01:47 |
| bazhang | physically_fit, hi | 01:47 |
| bazhang | Bookman, perhaps apt-cache search joystick as well | 01:47 |
| Bookman | bazhang, hmm, I don't seem to be able to figure it all out after installation thought | 01:48 |
| notlistening | exutux, thanks for all your help it seems to be fingers crossed working now | 01:48 |
| devesh | i need some youtube downloader can some one suggest any | 01:48 |
| rypervenche | devesh: youtube-dl | 01:49 |
| bazhang | devesh, firefox plugin: video download helper, will convert to mp4 on the fly | 01:49 |
| notlistening | http://www.flashvideodownloader.org/helpfirefox.php | 01:49 |
| rypervenche | devesh: youtube-dl is in the repos | 01:49 |
| bazhang | https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/ devesh | 01:49 |
| Bookman | bazhang, I guess it is the device name that I don't know how to find | 01:50 |
| notlistening | bookman how is the joystick connected? | 01:52 |
| joserramon | do you know if I can use Ubuntu (or some kind of Linux) for the all in one HP Omni200-5410 computer ?? | 01:52 |
| Bookman | notlistening, usb | 01:52 |
| notlistening | joserramon, can you have a go with one before you buy it? | 01:52 |
| notlistening | Bookman, disconnect it first then plug it in and run dmesg | 01:53 |
| joserramon | very few people have this kind of computer in my country:( | 01:53 |
| devesh | i am using chrome at the momemt | 01:53 |
| notlistening | the last entries should give you an idea of what is being done with the device | 01:53 |
| devesh | so youtube-dl should do i suppose | 01:53 |
| notlistening | joserramon, your going to have to find someone who does then | 01:53 |
| Bookman | notlistening, recognized it just fine. | 01:53 |
| notlistening | it will have information about the device file it associates it with something like /dev/... | 01:54 |
| joserramon | sorry, I get it now :) | 01:54 |
| notlistening | joserramon, you would be best to run a live cd in the computer first to see how well ubuntu copes | 01:55 |
| G00053 | how would i go about telling grub2 "yooohooo there is another linux partition over here, put it's various kernels in the menu" , or at least the right search term that will get me there ? | 01:55 |
| G00053 | not looking to put in a manual entry | 01:55 |
| bazhang | http://www.chromeextensions.org/music-videos-photos/video-downloader-videos-from-all-sites/ devesh | 01:55 |
| Bookman | notlistening, hmm, I don't seem to be able to find a simple /dev/ reference | 01:55 |
| ikonia | G00053: is this just more kernels or another linux distro | 01:56 |
| joserramon | the thing is that I cannot test the cimputer, since it's not sold in a "normal" comercial center. | 01:56 |
| G00053 | ikonia: another distro | 01:57 |
| bazhang | joserramon, the tv tuner looks like it might be an issue | 01:57 |
| Bookman | notlistening, here is what I see: http://pastebin.ca/2078640 | 01:57 |
| ikonia | G00053: I'd advise against this, ubuntu's grub configuration uses /etc on it's local distro, updates to other distros won't get picked up and it just creates a massive headache and causes problems | 01:57 |
| joserramon | that model does not have a TV tuner, bazhang :) | 01:58 |
| notlistening | would sudo update-grub for G00053 ? | 01:58 |
| bazhang | joserramon, there are several models, you should specify exactly which one, then | 01:58 |
| joserramon | sorry, it's the HP Omni200-5410es | 01:59 |
| G00053 | ikonia: so grub can only stay up to date with one distro at a time ? | 02:00 |
| pasjr | Is there anyone able to help me real quick? I can only view hulu,cnn and so on flash videos via Opera or Firefox when executed from terminal as root. Any help would be great. I have been on this all day and can not seem to find the answer. | 02:00 |
| ikonia | G00053 it's not "grub" it's how ubuntu's grub is laid out in it's grub2 impliemntation, it's a massive headache/problem for dual linux booting | 02:00 |
| Bookman | notlistening, any other way to tell what dev the joystick is? | 02:00 |

| notlistening | Bookman save looking around for is do a sudo find / -name hidraw0 | 02:03 |
| bazhang | pasjr, you never use firefox as root | 02:04 |
| notlistening | hidraw0 is your device name | 02:04 |
| pasjr | bazhang ,I know that I want to know why, that is the only way flash videos will work. How can I fix it? | 02:05 |
| jefeson_igt | Hi guys! | 02:05 |
| joserramon | bazhang, that model is not in the official HP web page anymore. | 02:05 |

| toast | i remember seeing t posted before on reddit, but cant find the fix | 02:08 |
| Bookman | notlistening, I don't seem to be able to get jscal or other utilities to find that device | 02:08 |
| notlistening | Bookman , no that is not what i expected to see either | 02:09 |
| joserramon | Thank you all. I need some sleeping.Bye :) | 02:10 |

| KM0201 | (i'm assuming flash is not working..) | 02:42 |

| pasjr | I never did, so how it got there I am clueless | 02:43 |
| KM0201 | pasjr: is flash not working? | 02:43 |
| pasjr | No flash only works in Opera, or firefox executed as root | 02:44 |
| pasjr | It used to work in firefox, opera and google chrome | 02:44 |
| KM0201 | pasjr: mkdir /home/"username"/.mozilla/firefox/plugins | 02:44 |
| KM0201 | then sudo cp /path/to/libflashplayer.so /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/plugins | 02:45 |

| dreamy_ | nothings1ecial, well .. yes, my V. os runs ok.. its just that id like to use the other pc on the lan | 02:57 |
| notlistening | try us Superdave321 | 02:57 |
| urlin2u | bobdobbs, any errors you can pastebin? | 02:57 |
| penos | km dont you just need to.install the flash package? | 02:58 |
| goer | notlistening: also, how to easily setup my projector to operate at same time as my monitor? Any tuts around? | 02:58 |
| bobdobbs | urlin2u: pasting as we speak... | 02:58 |
| bobdobbs | http://www.pastie.org/2436898 | 02:58 |
| bobdobbs | The advice I get on the forums is to use a command like 'apt-get install -f" | 02:58 |
| notlistening | okay dreamy explain you whole senario of what you want please i am a little confused | 02:58 |
| KM0201 | what is it w/ people running root prompts | 02:59 |
| KM0201 | ? | 02:59 |
| bobdobbs | However, when I do that, I get an output that is still very similair | 02:59 |
| KM0201 | do they feel leet using them? | 02:59 |
| bobdobbs | KM0201: well, I do it because I mess around with apache so much | 02:59 |
| bobdobbs | I can't be bothered using sudo all the time. | 02:59 |
| KM0201 | lol | 02:59 |
| bobdobbs | In fact, in my case, sudo seems quiet pointless | 02:59 |
| goer | bobdobbs: use 'su' then | 02:59 |
| bobdobbs | well, thats how I get to my root prompt. | 03:00 |
| bobdobbs | Is there another way? | 03:00 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: what case is that? | 03:00 |
| dreamy_ | nothings1ecial, the situation is that.. id like that Vbox whould create avirtual machine that could create a hard disk on the 2nd pc on the lan | 03:00 |
| dreamy_ | so.. | 03:00 |
| KM0201 | bobdobbs: you mean supported ways?.. yes, sudo -i | 03:00 |
| Bookman | notlistening, ok, thanks for your help here! Greatly appreciated...time to go back to original software | 03:00 |
| Bookman | ! | 03:00 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: configuring apache, iptables and other stuff all the time | 03:00 |
| dreamy_ | nothings1ecial, so 1 pc whould be proccessing and the other whould be doing the hard disk reading | 03:00 |
| bobdobbs | sudo is just another roadblock | 03:00 |
| urlin2u | lol | 03:01 |
| jrib | interesting perspective I guess | 03:01 |
| notlistening | dreamy_ the use of that is becasue of storage space? or what is the thinking behind it | 03:01 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: what ubuntu version is this? | 03:01 |
| bobdobbs | 10.04 | 03:01 |
| notlistening | Bookman i am sure you could get it to work, depends how many grey hairs you want in the process though | 03:02 |
| dreamy_ | nothings1ecial, it whould be good, it whoudnt be wasting the hard disk on the 1st pc | 03:02 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: do you have any insights as to why this is happening? | 03:02 |
| dreamy_ | it whould be fun | 03:02 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: none at all. I'm completely stumped | 03:02 |
| Bookman | notlistening, no grey...original CD's | 03:02 |
| notlistening | lol dreamy_ I like fun | 03:02 |
| dreamy_ | nothings1ecial, like for example i can browse trought my network and open a movie on the 2nd pc .. it uses the lan | 03:03 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: I thought I might have messed up my sources.conf perhaps... but as far as I can tell, it's clean. | 03:03 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: pastebin the .postinst file for the relevant packages please (you can find them in /var/lib/dpkg/info/) | 03:03 |
| notlistening | dreamy_ this gets quite indepth | 03:03 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: there are three files, it might be easier to focus on one. | 03:03 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: what 3? | 03:04 |
| bobdobbs | samba, mercurial and foomatic-filters | 03:04 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: you can ignore samba | 03:04 |
| bobdobbs | I'd rather not | 03:04 |
| bobdobbs | That's the most important one for me | 03:04 |
| Bookman | notlistening, evening folks | 03:04 |
| notlistening | dreamy_ I have send you a private message | 03:04 |
| notlistening | Cheers Bookman | 03:05 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: samba is fine. Please pastebin the .postinst files for the other two packages | 03:05 |

| notlistening | KM0201, did you get the flash fixed? | 03:06 |
| KM0201 | notlistening: he disappeared. | 03:06 |
| KM0201 | said he'd brb, that was about 10min ago | 03:06 |
| KM0201 | lol | 03:06 |
| notlistening | must have been the root access he had :D | 03:07 |
| KM0201 | nothings1ecial: actualy, it woudln't surprise me.. but.. "what do i know.."..lol | 03:07 |
| Nisstyre | I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint | 03:07 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: http://www.pastie.org/2436923 | 03:08 |
| KM0201 | Nisstyre: what viewpoint? | 03:08 |
| MrWilly | so I'm having some trouble installing 10.04 32-bit. the system starts booting to the CD, the ubuntu screen comes up and the dots blink across the screen, the disc accesses furiously, and then...it locks, and won't respond to anything I do on the keyboard | 03:08 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: and: http://www.pastie.org/2436931 | 03:08 |
| MrWilly | is there any way I can see what it's doing when the lock occurs? | 03:08 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| notlistening | MrWilly hold old is the CD driver? and where did you burn the disk? | 03:09 |
| penos | mrwilly cd must be damaged or defective | 03:09 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: add "set -x" near the top of the scripts (but below the first line) and run your apt-get again | 03:09 |
| notlistening | *drive not driver | 03:09 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: ok | 03:10 |
| bobdobbs | In the place of 'set -e'? Or beneath it? | 03:10 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: beneath it is fine | 03:10 |
| MrWilly | notlistening, the drive's...not exceptionally old. I know I've installed ubuntu with it before, although it was jaunty, if memory serves. it's probably around 5 years old | 03:10 |
| notlistening | MrWilly can you boot USB? | 03:10 |
| bobdobbs | cool | 03:10 |
| MrWilly | notlistening, the motherboard lacks that ability | 03:10 |
| urlin2u | MrWilly, how much ram? | 03:11 |
| MrWilly | notlistening, it could very well be the disc. I don't believe I've ever actually installed ubuntu with that disc | 03:11 |
| notlistening | MrWilly they always do :D | 03:11 |
| MrWilly | urlin2u, 2GB | 03:11 |
| urlin2u | cool | 03:11 |
| MrWilly | in fact | 03:11 |
| notlistening | you got a spare pc to try the CD? | 03:11 |
| urlin2u | MrWilly, you know the graphic card? | 03:11 |
| MrWilly | I can't even remember where I got that disc, come to think of it | 03:11 |
| MrWilly | urlin2u, Geforce 7600 GS, 512MB | 03:11 |
| MrWilly | notlistening, no, unfortunately, I haven't. I think I'll have to find a blank CD somewhere. I know I'm out of them at the moment | 03:12 |
| notlistening | How patient have you been with it MrWilly? | 03:12 |
| MrWilly | notlistening, not patient enough. perhaps two minutes? | 03:12 |
| MrWilly | after the lock, that is | 03:12 |
| pasjr | screw it I will just do two fresh reinstalls on both my computers if still no flash then goodbye Ubuntu | 03:12 |
| notlistening | after the lock is there no CD activity? | 03:12 |
| MrWilly | notlistening, correct | 03:12 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: ok, I ran 'apt-get update' twice, and then 'apt-get upgrade'. This is my result: | 03:13 |
| urlin2u | MrWilly, try tapping any key at powering on to get the try ubuntu....memory test, hot f6 click nomodeset, boot in | 03:13 |
| notlistening | your right its never ever going to boot | 03:13 |
| bobdobbs | http://www.pastie.org/2436951 | 03:13 |
| urlin2u | hit* | 03:13 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: did you add "set -x" to both scripts? | 03:13 |
| urlin2u | ah no activity MrWilly . | 03:13 |
| MrWilly | urlin2u, to my recollection, those options occur AFTER the point at which it locks | 03:13 |
| KM0201 | lol, thing is, i couldn've fixed his stupid flash problem, if he'd just listen | 03:14 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: no both. Just the foomatic script | 03:14 |
| KM0201 | he had libflashplayer.so in the wrong directory | 03:14 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: I'll do the other one now | 03:14 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: add to both please, it seems you added it only to the mercurial script | 03:14 |
| KM0201 | oh well... :) | 03:14 |
| MrWilly | so I'll try a new disc. I also have to replace my dead CMOS battery, so I'm going out anyways | 03:14 |
| MrWilly | may as well pick up some blanks | 03:14 |
| MrWilly | thanks, everyone | 03:15 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: sorry. You are right. I only added it to the mercurial script | 03:15 |
| urlin2u | MrWilly, there are two gui's for trying or installing one very earlier, and one later. | 03:15 |
| notlistening | Good luck MrWilly | 03:15 |
| MrWilly | this is what I get for cobbling together machines out of spare parts :D | 03:15 |
| MrWilly | at least I know the memory, board, and hard drive are good | 03:16 |
| urlin2u | MrWilly, early one needs a key prompt | 03:16 |
| MrWilly | urlin2u, oh. good to know. just punch keys? | 03:16 |
| notlistening | sympathy for you MrWilly | 03:16 |
| DonaldKeyz | how do i know if my partitions are ntfs or not? | 03:16 |
| KM0201 | DonaldKeyz: sudo fdisk -l | 03:16 |
| urlin2u | MrWilly, has been esc lucid was shift, I think any now. | 03:16 |
| MrWilly | lucid was shift? this is lucid we're talking about | 03:16 |
| notlistening | DonaldKeyz are they mounted? | 03:17 |
| DonaldKeyz | yes | 03:17 |
| Bookman | Damn it....I'm even denied my great original games......My CD drive no longer works | 03:17 |
| urlin2u | lucid esc I think mrw | 03:17 |
| sarthor | Hi, I am unable to use bcm4313 on katya, i tried STA driver also but no success, now i downloaded driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php , but i do not know how to install this driver, Any help please. | 03:17 |
| MrWilly | urlin2u, thanks | 03:17 |
| urlin2u | lucid esc I think MrWilly | 03:17 |
| urlin2u | cool MrWilly | 03:17 |
| DonaldKeyz | thanks all | 03:18 |
| notlistening | fstab -l DonaldKeyz | 03:18 |
| notlistening | stupid mount -l | 03:18 |
| notlistening | Sorry DonadKeyz | 03:18 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: ok ... here is the output of 'apt-get upgrade' | 03:19 |
| bobdobbs | http://www.pastie.org/2436967 | 03:19 |
| stealz | does anyone know how to get conky to display your username instead of nodename? | 03:19 |
| KM0201 | nothings1ecial: mount -l doesn't really show the filesystem on the partition... | 03:19 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: « apt-cache policy ucf foomatic-filters mercurial; which ucf; » in pastebin please | 03:20 |
| bobdobbs | k | 03:20 |
| SubCool | anyone with working experience using a LiveUSB persistently? | 03:21 |
| KM0201 | woops notlistening sorry, that last comment was for you.. :) | 03:21 |
| notlistening | okay KM0201 I just assumed if they were mounted that it would have detected what it is using | 03:21 |
| bobdobbs | http://www.pastie.org/ | 03:21 |
| notlistening | KM0201, everyone is doing it don't worry | 03:21 |
| bobdobbs | interesting | 03:21 |
| KM0201 | notlistening: you'd think.. but.. for some reason mount doesn't show filesystem, just where it's mounted, and permissions on it... | 03:21 |
| KM0201 | notlistening: lol, time for a name change | 03:22 |
| Bookman | Well I give up! | 03:22 |
| bobdobbs | Is that telling me that mercurial and foomatic-filters are already installed? | 03:22 |
| notlistening | /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro,discard,commit=0) | 03:22 |
| notlistening | Well mount mount -l tells me i am ext4 | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | ntlibut it doesn't say anything about NTFS partitions (just checked0 | 03:23 |
| KM0201 | grrr.. notlistening see above | 03:23 |
| notlistening | lol keeps you on your toes KM0201 | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | lol | 03:24 |
| notlistening | fair enough KM0201 | 03:24 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: note your pastebin link was just to pastie.org, not a specific paste | 03:24 |
| notlistening | :P I don't have any NTFS paritions | 03:24 |
| SubCool | where would i look to see what errors are occuring when i fail to login? | 03:24 |
| notlistening | GUI login SubCool? | 03:25 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: whoops. sorry. | 03:25 |
| bobdobbs | http://www.pastie.org/2436980 | 03:25 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, the casper-rw=persistent can get full, could that be it? | 03:26 |
| SubCool | notlistening, yes | 03:26 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: run your apt-get again but prefix the command with "DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer " | 03:26 |
| bobdobbs | ok | 03:26 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, it was at first, but i cleared it- so i thought??? | 03:26 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, could u help me clarify? | 03:26 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, how did you clear it? | 03:26 |
| Sonja | can ubuntu tell me how much RAM i currently have? | 03:26 |
| SubCool | deleted a huge file in my downloads section | 03:26 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, | 03:26 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: wow. lots more output | 03:27 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, that wont do it, basically it is clearable, not sure how. | 03:27 |
| notlistening | Sonja run top in a terminal | 03:27 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, i've been asking in Kubuntu, but i haent figured it out yet. | 03:27 |
| notlistening | Sonja that is how much RAM your system can access not always how much you have | 03:27 |
| Sonja | notlistening: thanks | 03:28 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: http://www.pastie.org/2437004 | 03:28 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, according to df -h, the "partitions" arent full | 03:28 |
| notlistening | see the bit under mem | 03:28 |
| notlistening | Mem: 8002304k total = 8GB | 03:29 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: "debconf (developer): --> 10 failed to open /var/lib/dpkg/info/ucf.templates: No such file or directory" I guess we need to figure out why that is | 03:29 |
| Ramseize | how can i make bind9 start on boot? | 03:29 |
| bobdobbs | hm | 03:29 |
| bobdobbs | I'll see if it exists... | 03:29 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: seems like it doesn't exist | 03:30 |
| Sonja | ɷ | 03:31 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: and you have not touched any files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ other than the .postinst we edited earlier? | 03:31 |
| * Lone_Wolf sais hello to everybody | 03:31 | |
| urlin2u | SubCool, not sure in all, except that the casper-rw gets loaded and is really hard to clean, have you looked in the trash? | 03:31 |
| notlistening | Ramseize you still need an answer? | 03:32 |
| bobdobbs | not as far as I know. Certainly not recently | 03:32 |
| Ramseize | notlistening: yes please | 03:32 |
| bobdobbs | I might have borked it a while ago, and not noticed | 03:32 |
| notlistening | did you install it from apt? | 03:32 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: borked it how? | 03:32 |
| Ramseize | notlistening: no its pre installed in my vps | 03:32 |
| bobdobbs | But then again, I've been having the errors from apt at for at least a few weeks | 03:32 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, ya, i have cleared the trash too- but i just found a issue with what u were talkinga bout, im looking to see how to clean it now.. | 03:33 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: I wish I knew | 03:33 |
| Ramseize | notlistening: i have bout a new vps and configured bind, but i want bind to start at boot | 03:33 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: was the system uncleanly shutdown (maybe power loss?) around that time? | 03:33 |
| notlistening | is there a bind9 script in /etc/init.d/ directory | 03:33 |
| Ramseize | yes | 03:33 |
| Ramseize | notlistening: yes, there is | 03:34 |
| notlistening | what ubuntu you running? | 03:34 |
| Lone_Wolf | hi folks, I'm a bit lost here, so I do not to want to steal your time, I'm trying setting up a site, based on XTML and CSS ... but That thing expects from me some php-basic knowledge, where can I get that and with whom discuss it ? | 03:34 |
| Ramseize | notlistening: im running ubuntu 10.04 | 03:34 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: In the three months that I've had this system, I have had a couple of dirty shutdowns from power losses, yes. | 03:34 |
| Lone_Wolf | are ther any simplified php-kis to install ? | 03:34 |
| Lone_Wolf | kits ? | 03:34 |
| lastn0de | hi im using natty and i was just wondering, are any ports blocked by default? i cant ssh or irc out (irssi) and i can do both just fine from my windows boot | 03:34 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: did fsck run afterwards? | 03:35 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: I had a loose cable from my ups | 03:35 |
| lastn0de | also, hi jrib :) | 03:35 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: I don't recall | 03:35 |
| jrib | hey lastn0de :D | 03:35 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, not sure ethier that if you clean it your updates will disapper, you can remove it and make a new one I believe, and you can have a partition that is the casper rather then a file | 03:35 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: you should do that. In any case, reinstalling the ucf package should recreate the file | 03:35 |
| notlistening | Ramseize try running update-rc.d with no options | 03:35 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: actually, I don't recall actually noticing a fsck at startup since I've installed the system | 03:35 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: ok | 03:35 |
| Ramseize | notlistening: ok, ill try it now | 03:36 |
| bobdobbs | Should I start with reinstallling ucf? | 03:36 |
| phrostbite | I am trying to install an iso to my sd card but it does not seem to work like it has with other iso's what could be wrong | 03:36 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: sure | 03:36 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, still searching. This is stupid.. | 03:36 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: gonna sound like more of a noob now... How do you recommend I reinstall ucf? | 03:36 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: apt-get install --reinstall PACKAGE | 03:36 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: will I have to do it manually? | 03:36 |
| bobdobbs | cool. I've never seen that option before. | 03:37 |
| bobdobbs | I'll give it a go. thanks. | 03:37 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, cleaning it is not a normal thing, so not much info. | 03:37 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: check that the ucf.templates file is created afterwards | 03:37 |
| bobdobbs | ok | 03:37 |
| SubCool | a lot of people run into the issue- i dont see why not. Im seeing a lot of reference to doing a full install to a flash drive, that i didnt hear about either. | 03:37 |
| Ramseize | notlistening: thats all im seeing | 03:38 |
| SubCool | i dont think that is my issues, because appearently apt-get clean should fix it enough. I think my login is screwed up.. | 03:38 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: you certainly know the package managment system very well | 03:39 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: Hey! I just did 'apt-get upgrade', and it returned with no errors! | 03:39 |
| bobdobbs | :) | 03:39 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: ok, you should run that fsck though | 03:40 |
| bobdobbs | ok | 03:40 |
| bobdobbs | I'll do that tonight. | 03:40 |
| Lone_Wolf | ok, tanks for your time, folks, sorry it did'nt work out ... maybe someone can direct me to a site or alnother chatroom wher I can be helped ? | 03:41 |
| phrostbite | What program do I need to make a thumb drive be able to boot an iso? | 03:41 |
| bobdobbs | jrib: Thanks for the help. Much appreciated. | 03:41 |
| phrostbite | Startup disc creator is not recognizing the iso | 03:41 |
| Lone_Wolf | phrostbite, usbcreator or unetbootin | 03:41 |
| chemtail | 11.04 - According to the laptop's manual, my wireless NIC (AR5B91) supports 802.11n in 5Ghz mode, but even if I explicitly set the correct regulatory domain with 'iw reg set' (after disabling wifi, or even unloading the modules first), I don't have 5Ghz support. | 03:42 |
| phrostbite | Lone_Wolf, thank you | 03:42 |
| Lone_Wolf | no problem | 03:42 |
| Josesordo | hello all, how I run a install.sh file? | 03:42 |
| chemtail | I've been searching for an hour now, but I can't find anything relating to my problem. There's no solution to get 5Ghz working that I can see. Do I have to compile the drivers from source or something? | 03:43 |
| chemtail | Physically, this card is supposed to support 5Ghz, but the ath9k drivers don't seem to support it, even though they're supposed to. | 03:44 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, how big is the pendrive? | 03:44 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, 8gb | 03:44 |
| phrostbite | Lone_wolf, certainly is an "ugly" Program but gets the job done :) | 03:44 |
| penos | joses do chmod +x install.sh; ./install.sh | 03:45 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, do a full install, you can clean it like a normal install, and it will boot faster. | 03:45 |
| Josesordo | penos, I did..but says: An error occurred. The package management system cannot be identified. | 03:45 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, idk how to do a full install. I have been getting the "LiveUSB is what u need" Bs.. | 03:45 |
| Josesordo | Who had installed a Canon Pixma MP250 driver in ubuntu 11.04? | 03:46 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, i finally found 3 links that might help me with where i am. | 03:46 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, installs live you would to any hd you just have to use the something else option, at choice of where to install to point the grub bootloader at it and the partition to be installed in. | 03:47 |

| SubCool | urlin2u, this is getting worse every time i read something that "solves" it. | 03:50 |
| gnaruag | I am trying to connect Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 , having installed samba server in both computers , how to connect them using Cross over cable ? | 03:51 |
| gnaruag | They can't see each other in *Network* | 03:51 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, ive come to the conclusion that the folder i have to clear out is the one i ahve been messing with, and that the folder still has room- SO... its the instlal not me :) | 03:52 |
| SubCool | but iahve to redo it again. - Ugh! | 03:52 |
| notlistening | have you set up the network cars on then gnaruag? | 03:52 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, let me know when ur around, cause i have questions while making it.. | 03:52 |
| lastnode | is there a guide for installing gnome 3? | 03:52 |
| notlistening | *cards gnaruag | 03:52 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, yeah its the not knowing about this casper problem. | 03:52 |
| SubCool | appearently its "easier" to start over- Ugh. Takes FOREVER!! | 03:53 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, I'm on pacific time alot. | 03:53 |
| notlistening | its becuase he is a friendly ghost ;) | 03:53 |
| gnaruag | notlistening, I created new Wired Connection 1 which is in properties is *shared to other computers* | 03:53 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, lol - there we go. With the proper teamwork. We can save 3 hours | 03:53 |
| notlistening | gnaruag did you use static ip addresses? | 03:54 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, yeah a full install will run a long time, and works fine. | 03:54 |
| gnaruag | notlistening, No | 03:54 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, startup disc creator corrcet | 03:54 |
| notlistening | well as your using a direct cable you need static ip addresses | 03:54 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, i was hoping to use this for 2-3 images, but i suppose not. :( | 03:55 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, for a full install you would boot a cd, or another thumb that has been loaded with that app. | 03:55 |
| SubCool | oh- crap.. ugh... | 03:55 |
| SubCool | so i cant just use startup thingy.. | 03:55 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, start disc creator does not make full installs | 03:55 |
| NonConformist | Hello ^^ | 03:55 |
| SubCool | ok.. what does? | 03:55 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, a live cd, or another thumb loaded with that app, or any other like unetbootin, the thumb yo have now is for installs basically | 03:56 |
| gnaruag | notlistening, I am referring http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-assign-static-ip-address-in-ubuntu-linux/ | 03:57 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, well, im on box with 11.04 and i have unetbootin | 03:57 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, you have any other thumbs? | 03:57 |
| SubCool | nope | 03:57 |
| SubCool | picked this up specifically for this.. | 03:57 |
| notlistening | gnaruag you get 10/10 for initiative | 03:57 |

| gnaruag | notlistening, thanks for that , what I noticed is that Sharing files using same Ubuntu versions using simple LAN wire is very easy . I made this cross-over cable , now I am crossing my fingers , thanks for the help :) | 03:59 |
| notlistening | your welcome gnaruag | 03:59 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, you can also have two partitons on the thumb a 1 gig for the iso and the second a casper that can be biggerthen 4 gigs=using all the rest of that space left as well | 03:59 |
| Fudge | or can i get natty backports for lucid 10.4.3 | 03:59 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, well at this rate, im ok with it just working.. | 04:00 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, sure remove the casper and you will have it without persistence but as the original stste | 04:01 |
| urlin2u | state | 04:01 |
| SubCool | i suppose googling, full install kubuntu? | 04:01 |
| jrib | bobdobbs: no problem | 04:01 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, did you install the 11.04 on the computer | 04:01 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, ya- my mom kept killing XP. So i punished her... | 04:02 |
| SubCool | now her comp is Kubuntu | 04:02 |

| urlin2u | SubCool, the thumb install is no different, except you do a custom install, by at the gui where it asks where to install you choose something else, and point grub at the thumb and choose the pre-made ext4 on the thumb as the destination. | 04:03 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, easy as pie | 04:04 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, ok.. i understand what your saying.. but- im not following.. | 04:04 |

| SubCool | not sure where ur talkinga bout | 04:04 |

| SubCool | notlistening, onto the USB? | 04:05 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, do you want another install like you have with a bigger casper, or a full install? | 04:05 |
| gnaruag | ping | 04:06 |
| gnaruag | notlistening, I created new connection using the tutorial , now can I ssh the machine using the static IP ? | 04:06 |
| notlistening | gnaruag yes in theory | 04:06 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, fullinstall | 04:06 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, i suppose it will prevent further issues.. | 04:06 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, you need a separate thumb or a cd to do that | 04:07 |

| SubCool | urlin2u, thanks- brb.. br break | 04:11 |

| SJr | I have a Dell M1210 it has a Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01). I have static in the left headphone. | 04:13 |
| hylian | notlistening, if he has a iso of ubuntu, unetbootin is a great way to put a live cd os on it. | 04:13 |
| SJr | it seems to be a common problem, and I remember fixing this one before, but I can't remember how | 04:13 |

| html | hylian, urlin2u, yes | 04:17 |
| notlistening | hylain, I am not sure of the problem but i think they cannot use the existing pendrive and just over write it but i might be wrong | 04:17 |
| hylian | html, what we mean is, we don't understand what your trying to accomplish | 04:17 |

| hylian | notlistening, i mention unetbootin because it will only replace the linux live cd files, not format the partition, if that's what you want. | 04:19 |

| SJr | hylian a few places online had suggested muting the microphone but that doesn't work, it also seems familiar, but I remember I had to do it somewhere weird, maybe the console | 04:22 |

| notlistening | or more specifically workspace switcher | 04:22 |
| hylian | SJr, ok, i think I have seen this before. you have 2 sound cards, and they are conflicting with one another. the first is named as the intel card, the second is just listed as usb. i had this happen with a client on a dell. he doesn't use hdmi sound so i went into his bios and turned off the intel sound card. i'll do some digging and see if i come up with anything else. | 04:23 |
| SJr | the other sound card is the webcam | 04:24 |
| SJr | both mics are off | 04:24 |
| SJr | I don't actually care about the webcam | 04:24 |
| notlistening | SJr what issue are you having? | 04:24 |
| SJr | why should I say, if you are notlistening :) | 04:24 |

| mukti | What is the command to restart X server? | 04:36 |
| hylian | SJr, the goal is to find the setting for how many channels it is currently piping to and set it to 2, if it isn't already. if it already, well... because there is a known bug where being on 6 channel sets the majority of the ports to incorrect parameters, i.e. the microphone data going out instead of in. | 04:36 |
| notlistening | mukti it will log you out is that okay? | 04:37 |
| mukti | yes | 04:37 |
| notlistening | sudo killall Xorg | 04:37 |
| mukti | notlistening: thats the only way to do it? There isn't a way to restart it? | 04:38 |
| notlistening | well that will restart it as upstart restarts it for you when it crashes | 04:38 |
| notlistening | you are simulating a crash | 04:38 |
| mukti | hmmmm | 04:39 |
| notlistening | you want a nicer way? | 04:39 |
| mukti | kind of lol | 04:39 |

| SJr | thanks | 04:40 |
| mukti | Isn't there a more "standard" way? | 04:40 |
| hylian | SJr, sorry i couldnt be more helpful. | 04:40 |
| mukti | similar to restarting things through /etc/init.d/PROGRAM restart | 04:40 |
| notlistening | well not really a hard crash in termals of doing damage just like restarting a peice of software | 04:40 |
| notlistening | as long as your not working on documents and stuff saving data to disk etc etc | 04:40 |

| [THC]AcidRain | notlistening, but what im wondering is. i actually want to use this program (dd) to copy a slot machine hard drive to another hard drive so i can have 2 slot machines. can i do that with this software? | 04:49 |
| hylian | notlistening, actually, that's an automatic thing. once again he has 2 sound cards, and they are conflitcting. dell's and hp's did this to save money, an intel chipset to do hdmi sound, and another sound card to do everything else. | 04:49 |
| notlistening | [THC]AcidRain, I say be careful because it is the fastest way to erase a harddisk full of data if used incorrectly | 04:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | :| | 04:49 |
| notlistening | [THC]AcidRain, is that legal? | 04:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | notlistening, its my slot machine :) | 04:49 |
| notlistening | hylian, oh the joy of sound cards | 04:50 |
| hylian | jogu, you have 2 sound cards. they are fighting one another. the best solution is to go into your bios and turn off the intel sound card. this can be a little tricky, and requires a reboot. how familiar are you with your bios? | 04:50 |
| notlistening | [THC]AcidRain, and its none of my business | 04:50 |
| jogu | I'm familiar with bios, however I was unaware that I had 2 sound cards... my PC is actually custom built and as far as I know there's only the MoBos onboard sound | 04:51 |
| notlistening | [THC]AcidRain, yes in theory as long as the harddisk is readable as a hardware device by a linux machine you can copy it | 04:51 |
| jogu | However I will go look in the bios, brb | 04:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | notlistening, ooo i cant wait. i wonder what the permissions are on it :D | 04:52 |

| phrostbite | I am having problems boot from the usb flash drive. I use unetbootin and when I go to boot it just has a screen that says default I push enter and it just reloads the same screen | 04:53 |
| [THC]AcidRain | notlistening, lol. very good point. i rly wont. didnt even think of it that way | 04:53 |
| notlistening | this is like taking a copy of a key you just make an impression of it not caring about any of the details | 04:53 |
| notlistening | phrostbite, you had it booting before? | 04:54 |

| phrostbite | anthony, are they mp3's | 04:55 |
| talntid2 | open a terminal, type "sudo alsa-mixer" ... ensure the volumes are up | 04:55 |
| phrostbite | anthony, you may need to install the restricted extras if you have not | 04:56 |
| phrostbite | or that too | 04:56 |
| hylian | phrostbite, try another menu option, unetbootin sometimes causes errors from the kernel on default | 04:56 |
| anthony | what is restricted extras | 04:56 |
| phrostbite | hylian, like what? | 04:56 |
| jogu | hylian, I couldn't find any options in bios related to sound other than an Enable/Disable for "Azalius" iirc | 04:56 |
| hylian | anthony, it's a collection of codecs for playing "non free" audio and video files, like an mp3, for instance. | 04:57 |
| anthony | well i am trying to look at youtube | 04:57 |
| jogu | azalia* actually | 04:57 |
| anthony | i have flash, so the video is fine, i just can't hear anything | 04:57 |
| hylian | phrostbite, there are usually more than one option, and if this is an ubuntu cd, one of them should be try ubuntu or install ubuntu | 04:57 |
| phrostbite | No it's actually a windows xp iso | 04:57 |

| theadmin | mukti: No. | 04:58 |

| hylian | phrostbite, unetbootin is designed to run linux iso's only. it specifically looks for the files in a linux iso., | 05:00 |

| Smedles | notlistening: thanks - took me a moment to work out that ubuntu+1 was a channel name but there now :) | 05:01 |
| hylian | jogu, hmm. i do know that there is a bug in the alsamixer, that will incorrectly set the data as outgoing for an incoming connection, i.e. your mic, and vice versa. the test to see if that bug is present is to switch from 6 channels to 2. | 05:01 |

| hylian | phrostbite, what version of windows is it> | 05:04 |
| theadmin | nerxgas: Using apt-get, no real way. Try "dpkg -L" | 05:04 |
| phrostbite | hylian, Windows xp | 05:04 |
| mukti | theadmin: I got this error when running the apt-get command: Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package | 05:05 |
| theadmin | mukti: Did you add the partner repo? | 05:06 |
| jogu | hylian, in alsamaxier the only options for <channel> are 6 and 8 channels | 05:06 |
| hylian | phrostbite, i found a few. one is here: http://wintoflash.com/home/en/ | 05:06 |
| rohitmobme | hii my cdrom is not working fine.. the output of "dmesg | grep ATAPI' =>http://pastie.org/2437298| how to check whether the hardware is ok? | 05:06 |
| mukti | I added the repository using the command | 05:06 |
| hylian | jogu, hmm, sounds like you have a really nice high end card .. :) try the opposite of what it is set at. | 05:06 |
| theadmin | mukti: Did you run "sudo apt-get update" after doing so? | 05:06 |
| notlistening | rohitmobme, tell use more about what is wrong? | 05:06 |
| mukti | sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" | 05:06 |
| mukti | I used the command | 05:07 |
| what | notlistening : how can I specify the device i should be pinging from, inside the terminal | 05:07 |
| MrSalt | nerxgas: dpkg --get-selections prints all packages loaded | 05:07 |

| phrostbite | hylian, I think I may have found something also with unetbootin-windows-248 | 05:07 |
| theadmin | mukti: That's correct, but after adding any repository you should reload the package sources. In Ubuntu that's done with "sudo apt-get update" | 05:08 |
| notlistening | what when you ping your own computer it should do it on the loopback interface that is always there | 05:08 |
| mukti | theadmin: sorry, I didn't see your response | 05:08 |
| hylian | phrostbite, awesome. so it is dooable from what i read, albeit a little tricky. but defenitely dooable. | 05:08 |

| phrostbite | Yeah | 05:08 |

| pratham | how can i install custom login screen themes | 05:10 |

| phrostbite | hylian, thank you so much for your help :) | 05:11 |
| link307 | except ipv6.google.com | 05:11 |
| rodhash | theadmin: How do I change it? For instance, let's say I wanna install XDM, that's pretty much lightweith.. right? | 05:11 |
| hylian | jogu, sorry man, that is the extent of my alsa knowledge. i would try #alsa if i where you... i havent run into this problem for a while, my native hardware runs best on pulseaudio. | 05:11 |
| theadmin | rodhash: I'd suggest lxdm, because xdm is almost unconfigurable and hardly ever does what you want it to | 05:11 |
| notlistening | link307 do you get errors when you go to other sites? | 05:11 |
| theadmin | rodhash: Anyway, sudo apt-get install your-favorite-display-manager | 05:11 |
| link307 | notlistening: just "server not found" | 05:12 |
| hylian | phrostbite, no prob bob. :) | 05:12 |
| jogu | hylian, thanks for your helpi'll try over at #alsa | 05:12 |
| notlistening | are you supposed to be using IPv6? | 05:12 |
| link307 | notlistening: sometimes "connection timed out" | 05:12 |
| hylian | jogu, i hope you get the answers you need.. sorry i wasn't much help :( | 05:12 |
| notlistening | link307 i think this is a router problem | 05:13 |
| notlistening | somewhere somebody needs to be doing IPv4 to IPv6 Trnaslations | 05:13 |
| link307 | notlistening: i can only open the ipv6.google.com | 05:13 |
| link307 | notlistening: so what can i do | 05:13 |
| notlistening | humm good question, i need to research this aswell | 05:14 |

| hylian | link307, i have heard of firefox and chrome having this problem in ubuntu... but that was a while ago. | 05:15 |
| Guest26100 | is it possible for network manager to run an internal pci (broadcomm) as well as an usb (rtl8187) at the same time without issue? | 05:15 |
| Guest26100 | or should I kill process | 05:16 |
| theadmin | rodhash: A lot more lightweight indeed, performs better too... And is desktop-independent so you can use it with Gnome, KDE, Xfce, e17, openbox, whatever else | 05:16 |
| link307 | hylian: yeah , i'm using firefox in ubuntu but i feel it's not this problem | 05:16 |

| rodhash | theadmin: Cool!! Really thanks!! Once installed, how do I change from gdm to lxdm? | 05:16 |
| theadmin | rodhash: apt-get will ask you if you want to do so during installation | 05:17 |
| andrewh192 | rather than having to create a html file with the code in it.. | 05:17 |
| hylian | link307, exactly what are you trying to connect too? just google? | 05:17 |
| rodhash | theadmin: Oh ok, thanks.. | 05:17 |

| theadmin | vooze: Virtualbox doesn't use Nvidia, it uses "vboxvideo" | 05:43 |
| theadmin | vooze: Install the guest additions and you'll be good to go | 05:43 |
| mokti | jamiewan: its been at least 10 minutes since I restarted it (I think) | 05:44 |
| vooze | theadmin: install guest additions (in my own box) or in virtualbox? | 05:44 |
| jamiewan | mokti: can u bott to live cd? | 05:44 |
| jamiewan | boot | 05:44 |
| Mankool | jamiewan: yeah, might be doable, but it'd take some thought into what route i wanna go to get it done, and i don't currently have a usecase besides 'maybe it would look cool'... but i'm gonna place it at a low priority for now in my ubuntu adventures... maybe next ubuntu release will have more unity magic that will just make something cool happen | 05:44 |
| notlistening | Ahh i am 32bit pae and my system sees i have 8 gigs | 05:44 |
| theadmin | vooze: Virtualbox. To do so, when the machine is running, click "Devices -> Install Guest Additions" | 05:44 |
| hylian | vooze, in your virtualbox. and if it's xp, you will want to install it in safe mode. | 05:44 |

| zemik | new1, where you paste it? | 05:46 |
| jamiewan | mokti: whats displayed on the other consoles? | 05:46 |
| bfig | notlistening, a possibly important thing: i was working with libreoffice calc and a very memory demanding spreadsheet. i have 3gb ram and an underpowered e-350 | 05:46 |
| notlistening | saywhat, explain what you have done all together | 05:46 |
| mokti | jamiewan: a login prompt | 05:46 |
| vooze | theadmin: ah okay, thanks alot.. nice learning somthing new ;) | 05:46 |
| hylian | anthony, this is a new enough of a machine that i would think this is just the 32 bit /64 bit problem. 32 bit can only see up to 3.2 gigs, 64 bit can see up to 128 gigs. | 05:46 |
| bfig | nothings1ecial, both times the graphical environment crashed and i restored it by going system->properties->appearance | 05:46 |

| anthony | hylian, downloading 64bit 11.04 for USB install now... | 05:47 |
| mokti | jamiewan: nothing happened. What does that do? | 05:47 |
| new1 | how do i retrieve an error message? | 05:47 |
| jamiewan | mokti: control alt that was meant to be | 05:47 |
| saywhat | notlistening : i've gone back to defaults in network manager. at one point i had the usb (rtl8187) working and rebooted and no longer works. So i can set the device in monitor mode etc but I am stuck using my pci with little to no reception | 05:47 |
| saywhat | i've installed wicd no luck, keeps timing out and wpa applicant | 05:48 |
| hylian | anthony, if you have a usb key then i suggest you use unetbootin, and install that iso you are downloading. then you can try it out for yourself before install to see if this solves your memory issue. either way in 32 bit you will never be able to use the full 4 gigs. | 05:48 |
| saywhat | with no success | 05:48 |
| mokti | jamiewan: control+alt+f7 takes me to the one that is hanging | 05:48 |
| jamiewan | mokti: i dunno mate, sounds like somethings gone amiss on the install, ask again later but if it was me i'd just reinstall it and hope for the best | 05:49 |
| hylian | goodnight all, i am just too tired to continue... | 05:49 |
| anthony | hylian, thx, but im sure im better off going with 64... just needed an OS up, to download the new 64 bit distro | 05:49 |
| anthony | hylian, I'm done with windows :D | 05:50 |

| Yoss | motki hmmm, what is your problem? | 05:50 |
| jamiewan | mokti: sometimes thats quicker than trying to fix stuff especiall if its a fresh install | 05:50 |

| notlistening | not that i helped much | 05:58 |
| jamiewan | mokti: go | 05:58 |
| Yoss | and you should install them | 05:58 |
| new1 | the update manager starts on it's own sometimes when i boot up. | 05:58 |
| jamiewan | mokti: what was it? | 05:58 |
| Yoss | that means that you have updates | 05:58 |

| theadmin | new1: The update manager is weird | 05:59 |

| notlistening | saywhat have you tried looking at the dmesg output when you are going through various stages of the process | 05:59 |
| mokti | jamiewan: it uses NVIDIA Optimus, which causes problems, so I changed it in the BIOS | 05:59 |
| Yoss | at least for me it is | 05:59 |

| TTR45 | i'm looking for a word in a file but i don't know the file location | 06:00 |
| notlistening | so disconnect all if you can | 06:00 |
| TTR45 | what do i type in the temrinal ? | 06:00 |
| saywhat | notlistening, yes i think that is the problem | 06:00 |
| notlistening | then plugin the wifi and connect and try again | 06:00 |
| TTR45 | grep then what ? | 06:00 |
| saywhat | notlistening, i dont want to black list the pci, in anticipation i wont be able to ever get the connectionback.lol | 06:01 |
| nisstyre | I would tend to disagree with that viewpoint | 06:01 |
| notlistening | I have tested ubuntu with wifi and ethernet together and it works in theory | 06:01 |
| Moshanator | ttr45: find / | grep myword | 06:01 |
| notlistening | lol saywhat don't blacklist it | 06:01 |
| TTR45 | moshanator so find / | will search all the harddisk ? | 06:01 |
| notlistening | just pull the cable out | 06:01 |
| Moshanator | ttr45, yes | 06:01 |
| saywhat | they are both supported. I have no idea why the usb pick s up signals but cant connect | 06:01 |
| theadmin | TTR45: Actually, all of mounted drives and partitions | 06:02 |
| Moshanator | you can also search some dfolder instead of / | 06:02 |
| Moshanator | *folder | 06:02 |
| notlistening | ahh now can't connect is different from connected and can't ping | 06:02 |
| saywhat | when i say cant connect i mean firefox | 06:03 |
| notlistening | so you have a wifi router? | 06:03 |
| saywhat | i can ping but i'm not sure if its pinging from my pci which is what i'm connected to right now | 06:03 |
| saywhat | i have an internal wifi card and a external | 06:03 |

| saywhat | i'm trying to get the external going | 06:03 |

| saywhat | i mean i can pull the usb wireless card connected and it wont do anything | 06:07 |
| saywhat | i'll still have connection via my pci internal card | 06:08 |
| notlistening | ah okay so they are both wirles | 06:08 |
| saywhat | but i would like to put the external to use as it has a longer range | 06:08 |
| notlistening | wireless | 06:08 |
| saywhat | no one is internal | 06:08 |
| saywhat | the one i can connect on is internal | 06:08 |
| notlistening | okay are you using ubuntu? | 06:08 |
| saywhat | blackbutu | 06:09 |
| saywhat | buntu | 06:09 |

| mokti | i forget | 06:54 |

| Astrology | which package does the command "acpiconf" belongs to ? | 06:56 |
| urlin2u | mokti, here is alink install ubuntu tweak it has a ppa remover that is the easiest. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/29584/safely-remove-ppas-and-roll-back-to-stable-versions-in-ubuntu/ | 06:56 |
| jamiewan | anthony: or if you have cube installed you can just drag window around the screen edges | 06:56 |
| mokti | urlin2u: they are not listed anywhere in my computer?\ | 06:56 |
| urlin2u | mokti, ubuntu tweak has alot of other tools that are great as well | 06:57 |
| urlin2u | mokti, they are but lets make this easy eh. | 06:57 |
| johwil | I need help in creating an install file for devkitpro on ubuntu. Anyone? http://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started/devkitARM | 06:58 |
| urlin2u | mokti, they are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 06:58 |
| tsimpson | mokti: find the file with the ppa name(s) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ or use the GUI software sources manager | 06:58 |
| dc5ala | Astrology, you can ask dpkg -S | 06:59 |
| mokti | urlin2u: thanks | 06:59 |
| mokti | tsimpson: thanks | 06:59 |
| Astrology | dc5ala: not found | 06:59 |
| urlin2u | mokti, no problem, I use ubuntu tweak even though I know how to remove this stuff and do otherthings it offers. | 07:00 |
| Astrology | dc5ala: it's for installed, but my command is not installed, so I need to install that package to use command "acpiconf" | 07:00 |
| mokti | Is there a way for me to roll back my machine to an hour or two ago? | 07:02 |
| hid3 | Hello everyone. Any ideas if Apache2 in Lucid (10.10) is vulnerable to the Range bug? | 07:02 |
| lotuspsychje | how can i check if webkit exploits are patched in natty? | 07:03 |
| mokti | Is there a way for me to roll back my video card drivers at least? | 07:03 |
| mokti | also, my power icon (top right) dissapeared... how do I get it back? | 07:05 |
| xander | Hi everyone, | 07:05 |
| hid3 | Anyone awake? | 07:05 |
| Guoqing | sorry don't know | 07:06 |
| Astrology | how to search a package which is needed by command "acpiconf" ? | 07:06 |
| Yoss | motki, system --> administration --> preferences -> power management --> general | 07:06 |
| urlin2u | mokti, ubuntu doesn't have a rollback function, but you can remove stuff, and change the driver. Have you logged out or rebooted to see if it fixes your problems? | 07:06 |
| Xcalibar | i got a unity problem , whnever i click the start button , the window appears to bypass my screen resolution from the right side | 07:06 |
| Yoss | always display icon | 07:06 |
| Yoss | if you meant that | 07:06 |
| xander | I installed Firefox 6 on maverick through firefox release ppa, but about:support says "GPU Accelerated Windows 0/1". | 07:06 |
| dc5ala | Astrology, ah okay, you may try http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 07:06 |
| mokti | urlin2u: yes | 07:06 |
| xander | I thought hw acceleration on GNU/Linux was a go in FF6? I'm using nV blob 280.13 | 07:07 |
| tobago | which is the best tool for creating dvd's from an avi (whatever encryption) file? | 07:07 |
| Astrology | dc5ala: I tried it, not found, I use package name search and description search too. | 07:07 |
| urlin2u | mokti, have you been messing with compiz? | 07:07 |
| mokti | urlin2u: no, NVIDIA drivers | 07:07 |
| urlin2u | mokti, where did you get the driver from? | 07:08 |
| dc5ala | Astrology, on debian that file was in package freebsd-utils | 07:08 |
| mokti | I want to go back to the default settings/driver to display at the correct resolution (unless you can help me with that :) ) | 07:08 |
| Yoss | does not Jockie auto-detects? | 07:08 |
| Astrology | dc5ala: thanks for you advise , a good way now. | 07:08 |
| mokti | urlin2u: want to go back to the default settings/driver to display at the correct resolution (unless you can help me with that :) ) | 07:08 |
| urlin2u | mokti, graphic drivers are not really something I'm real familiar with all my computers work out of the gate. | 07:09 |
| xander | No hardware acceleration on maverick with Firefox 6 + nVIDIA? | 07:09 |
| dc5ala | mokti, have you tried changing your desktop resolution via System -> Settings menu? | 07:11 |
| mokti | yes | 07:11 |
| mokti | dc5ala: yes | 07:11 |
| mokti | dc5ala: it doesn't show the highest resolution | 07:11 |
| mokti | dc5ala: which is why I think I need to rollback the video card driver, but I don't know how | 07:12 |
| dc5ala | mokti, what driver are you using? | 07:12 |
| mokti | im not sure right now... | 07:12 |
| tobago | i want to burn a 6 gb movie onto dvd. that is why i'd have to low down the quality a little for fitting onto dvd. which tool to use? | 07:12 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I think it might be nvidia_current | 07:13 |
| Xcalibar | i got a unity problem , whnever i click the start button , the window appears to bypass my screen resolution from the right side , any solutions i tried gsettings set com.canonical.Unity form-factor | 07:13 |
| dc5ala | mokti, maybe you can paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 07:14 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I was following a troubleshooting forum post, and at one point I ran "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*" and "sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" | 07:14 |
| mokti | dc5ala: okay, hold on | 07:15 |
| dc5ala | mokti, you could try reinstall nvidia-current then | 07:16 |
| xander | No one using Firefox 6 with nVIDIA hardware? | 07:16 |
| urlin2u | tobago, handbrake will convert it if it is not drm locked, and reduce the size as well I believe. | 07:16 |
| mokti | http://paste.ubuntu.com/675795/ | 07:16 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I think nvidia-current is the wrong one | 07:16 |
| Xcalibar | btw anyways if i can use the unity dock to minmize applications , if i use my left mouse click on the same app , and i got a problem with Empathy , the chat windows when i dont check my msg's the unity dock doesnt appear it , and sometimes the upper panel dismisses it and i have to search for the blinking tag on the messenger window.. | 07:17 |

| dc5ala | mokti, i have a look | 07:18 |
| danny_ | Excuse, can anyone help me run counter strike 1.6? | 07:18 |
| theadmin | danny_: You should get a look at http://winehq.org and #winehq | 07:19 |
| dc5ala | mokti, it could not find any of the 3 nvidia drivers and is falling back to Vesa, you have problems with nvidia-current? | 07:20 |
| urlin2u | danny_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CounterStrike | 07:20 |
| dc5ala | mokti, i usually use nvidia-current here, you have problem with it? | 07:20 |
| Xcalibar | help can i use the unity dock to minmize applications , if i use my left mouse click on the same app , and i got a problem with Empathy , the chat windows when i dont check my msg's the unity dock doesnt appear it , and sometimes the upper panel dismisses it and i have to search for the blinking tag on the messenger window.. | 07:20 |
| danny_ | The installation went fine, but it fails to run, thing is all those tutorials are about running counter strike in steam | 07:20 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I thought I did. I'm going to try nvidia-common, then current | 07:21 |
| kd | hi | 07:21 |
| Yoss | Xcalibar, i really suggest opening a topic at the forums | 07:22 |
| dc5ala | mokti, just use nvidia-current, that is a meta package | 07:22 |
| Yoss | maybe someone over there will know | 07:22 |
| Yoss | won't hurt | 07:22 |
| mokti | dc5ala: what is a meta package | 07:22 |
| theadmin | danny_: You should get a Steam version -- we do not support pirated editions, nor does Wine | 07:22 |
| danny_ | Ahhhh, I see | 07:23 |
| dc5ala | mokti, it should install the current version | 07:23 |
| theadmin | danny_: You *might* or might not have luck running them... We can't help with doing so | 07:23 |
| urlin2u | Xcalibar, I use docky as well and just find the work around to these problems. I don't think unity is really done in develpment, and or designed to run perfectly with other panels. | 07:23 |
| mokti | common works | 07:24 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I just finished restarting with common and it shows the correct resolution. I'm going to try current in a second | 07:24 |
| dc5ala | mokti, im sorry, it's no meta package at all anymore, i just checked | 07:24 |
| danny_ | Well thanks anyways :) | 07:25 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I do have one question before I restart again, how do I make the power icon on the top right (used to power down, log off, etc.) show up? | 07:25 |
| mokti | dc5ala: it isn't there anymore... | 07:25 |
| dc5ala | mokti, this belongs to some status applet you can add | 07:25 |
| mokti | dc5ala: how would I go about adding it? | 07:26 |
| dc5ala | mokti, right click on a free place in the panel and choose add, then look for a session program there | 07:27 |
| mokti | dc5ala: there is only the ugly red shut down button. Is there a way to get the default one to show up? | 07:28 |
| dc5ala | mokti, sorry i am using a different locale here so i don't know the exact name ;) | 07:28 |
| Yoss | motki, are you trying to reset your desktop or something? | 07:29 |
| mokti | dc5ala: oh, and the time is not there.... | 07:29 |
| dc5ala | mokti, better get your desktop resolution higher first :) | 07:30 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I fixed the time/power thing "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel" | 07:30 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I'm going to try the other video card driver | 07:31 |
| slithytove20061 | so, i just downloaded the ubuntu 11.04 and put it on a usb drive. when i try to 'install' it wants me to log in first. i trued user ubuntu with no password. not sure what else to try. any suggestions | 07:31 |
| urlin2u | slithytove20061, boot to the desktop, make sure it runs okay then install. | 07:32 |
| mokti | dc5ala: Right now (in Additional Drivers) I am using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current), and I am at the correct resolution | 07:32 |
| mokti | dc5ala: however, I cannot adjust the brightness... | 07:32 |
| slithytove20061 | urlin2u: 'mounting aufs on /root failed: Invalid argument\naufs monut failed" | 07:33 |
| urlin2u | slithytove20061, did you check the ISO's md5sum? | 07:34 |
| mokti | dc5ala: however, I cannot adjust the brightness... | 07:34 |
| mokti | dc5ala: Right now (in Additional Drivers) I am using NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current), and I am at the correct resolution | 07:34 |
| mokti | dc5ala: are you there? | 07:35 |
| slithytove20061 | i didn't | 07:35 |
| dc5ala | mokti, was getting new coffee :p do you also have that nvidia-settings tool installed? | 07:36 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I believe so | 07:36 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I do, also sorry! | 07:36 |
| Lint | lhow to fix firefox fonts being blurry and gay? | 07:37 |
| urlin2u | slithytove20061, here is a link for that, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM IF you used the thumb loader that ubuntu.com suggests, try unetbootin if the ISO is good, | 07:37 |
| urlin2u | Lint, using the term gay is not appropriate. | 07:38 |
| dc5ala | mokti, so this driver is working for you? | 07:38 |
| mokti | dc5ala: everything except the brightness controls | 07:38 |
| urlin2u | gay is not a pejorative Lint, don't use it as one. | 07:38 |
| centHOGG | language is a virus | 07:39 |
| jamiewan | humans are a virus | 07:39 |
| mokti | dc5ala: the indicator that pops up on the top right shows that the brigtness of the screen is changing; however, the brightness does not actually change | 07:39 |
| urlin2u | centHOGG, so is marginalization. | 07:39 |
| repozitor1 | how to register on irc? | 07:39 |

| mokti | dc5ala: okay, well thanks for all the help! | 07:41 |
| Lint | semantics aside, how make firefox look normal? | 07:41 |
| mokti | dc5ala: I'll look around some more | 07:41 |
| urlin2u | slithytove20061, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 07:41 |
| slithytove20061 | nvm urlin2u, found it. | 07:41 |
| slithytove20061 | lol =] | 07:41 |
| Lint | or is there some other browser with firefox kernel but without silly blurry ui? | 07:42 |
| slithytove20061 | yup, it matches | 07:42 |
| dc5ala | mokti, was the problem of not being able to change brightness the reason you tried other drivers? | 07:42 |
| === younishd_ is now known as younishd | ||
| urlin2u | Lint, disrespecting is not a semantics problem. | 07:42 |
| mokti | dc5ala: yes | 07:43 |
| dc5ala | mokti, so i suppose you are on a laptop, you can try other drivers, just make sure you have one at a time there, in your case earlier you had none | 07:44 |
| mokti | dc5ala: okay | 07:44 |
| mokti | dc5ala: and yes, I am on a laptop | 07:46 |
| teage | what is the command to delete my default desktop install. using 11.04. | 07:49 |
| centHOGG | urlin2u: so what happend with Lint | 07:49 |
| teage | been using xfce. I never used the gnome so would like to delete it. or unity or whatever it is. | 07:50 |
| urlin2u | centHOGG, nothing other then I find the common use of that term as a pejorative quite offensive, especially on a family friendly channel. The social norm that holds that term to be used that way is discriminatory. | 07:52 |
| dc5ala | teage, you could install xubuntu-desktop | 07:52 |
| centHOGG | k | 07:52 |
| centHOGG | i meant with firefox | 07:53 |
| teage | dc5ala, I did. used it ever since. just want to delet the ubuntu desktop install that I never use. | 07:53 |
| Lint | firefox are blurry in UI and window itself | 07:53 |
| urlin2u | centHOGG, blurry font I don't know the answer. | 07:53 |
| mokti | dc5ala: isn't there usually an option for "more effects" or something when you go into System > Preferences > Appearance ? | 07:53 |
| dkatz | Anyone willing to help a noob troubleshoot a problem? | 07:54 |
| centHOGG | dep | 07:55 |
| dkatz | conditional.. I like it | 07:55 |
| dkatz | I *think* my usb wireless card is autosuspending even though it's not idle | 07:55 |
| WsAgent | after installing docky maximizing windows just stop on top of docky is there any way to intelligently hide this docky down so that when we move the mouse only then it appears... | 07:56 |
| dkatz | I don't know how to troubleshoot my theory.. it's just a theory. But wlan0 just "goes away" | 07:56 |
| centHOGG | does it do this on another os dkatz? | 07:56 |
| dkatz | centaur5: great question.. Never thought to try. | 07:57 |
| dkatz | gah.. tab completion | 07:57 |
| dkatz | centHOGG | 07:57 |
| centHOGG | np :P | 07:57 |
| centHOGG | verify the hw first... then go on to the sw | 07:57 |
| anthony | Can anybody tell me which version of wine to download for ubuntu 11.04 64-bit | 07:58 |
| urlin2u | WsAgent, click the docky icon far left of panel, and adjust | 07:58 |
| theadmin | anthony: The latest as usual. All the instructions are on http://winehq.org | 07:58 |
| dkatz | centHOGG: Hrmm.. strong suggestion. | 07:58 |
| dc5ala | mokti, it used to be there, maybe is now only via compiz config settings manager | 07:58 |
| centHOGG | yeah 3 levels to trobleshooting hw-fw-sw | 07:58 |
| WsAgent | urlin2u: I tried that but change | 07:59 |
| dkatz | cH - well. to add another layer of obfuscation, my ubuntu is running on a vmware image ;) | 07:59 |
| dkatz | hw-fw-vmw-sw? | 08:00 |
| centHOGG | idk bout that dkatz | 08:00 |
| centHOGG | well you could try another os vm | 08:00 |
| theadmin | dkatz: As for virtualizers, Ubuntu really works best with Virtualbox | 08:00 |
| centHOGG | i would | 08:00 |
| dkatz | centHOGG: Yeah.. I've got a WinXP image I can fire up. | 08:00 |
| centHOGG | k | 08:01 |
| dkatz | thx | 08:01 |
| centHOGG | np | 08:01 |
| WsAgent | urlin2u : thanks it worked... my fault i didn't select the dock while i am doing the change | 08:01 |
| urlin2u | WsAgent, it is kinda tricky took me awhile to realize that if you do dome adjustment you have to reclick the panel | 08:02 |
| dkatz | theadmin: Just using VMWare because it's what I've already got. Is virtualbox that much better? IIRC ubuntu used to distribute prebuilt vmware images | 08:02 |
| mokti | I am going to head out, but I have one last question | 08:02 |
| damianfrancis | hey guys there is a whole section on the ubuntu help site about installation on macs | 08:02 |
| urlin2u | some* | 08:02 |
| centHOGG | <vm | 08:02 |
| centHOGG | ware | 08:02 |
| damianfrancis | do you guys know if there is a channel specially for that discussion | 08:03 |
| theadmin | dkatz: Well, you can use the standard Ubuntu ISO with Virtualbox. Plus, Virtualbox is free and opensource | 08:03 |
| mokti | I remember (in older versions of ubuntu) that there was an application with a logo that was a green monitor. | 08:03 |
| WsAgent | urlin2u : yeah relaly | 08:03 |
| mokti | That application let you monitor the network, processes, etc. | 08:03 |
| slithytove20061 | urlin2u: can adding persistence interfere with the process? | 08:03 |
| Sakman | hi | 08:03 |
| mokti | similar to the task manager in windows | 08:03 |

| oCean | damianfrancis: I don't think there is. | 08:04 |

| Sakman | :)0 | 08:05 |
| urlin2u | slithytove20061, shouldn't unless it is bigger then the thumb, which should throw an error. I have never gotten the thumb loader suggested by ubuntu.com to work consistently, but I have with unetbootin. | 08:05 |
| damianfrancis | oCean: even though these issues are specific to installation it kinda sounds like this is the right place | 08:05 |
| slithytove20061 | ive used the multi-boot loader from that same site quite well, never to install though | 08:06 |

| theadmin | !classic | ulas | 08:09 |
| ubottu | ulas: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 08:09 |
| ulas | for sure btw gnome 3 sucks too. | 08:09 |
| ulas | I found Xubuntu more useful than others.. | 08:10 |

| ulas | i just wanted some chat nothing more :) no offense.. | 08:10 |
| ulas | just bored. | 08:10 |

| oCean | ulas: this is the support channel, chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:11 |
| ulas | fair enough thanks :) | 08:11 |
| theadmin | ulas: I have to warn you though, people in #ubuntu-offtopic discuss weird stuff most of the time | 08:11 |
| mephist0 | hi there | 08:11 |
| ulas | :)) thanks for warning | 08:11 |
| urlin2u | theadmin, it is a bit... well lets say special. | 08:12 |

| Guybrush_T | ok then | 09:03 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: check out the man for losetup, which controls auto assignment, or if that is not working you can explicitly set up the loop then mount with it | 09:03 |
| Guybrush_T | i have 2 raids created during ubuntu installation : raid 1 with 2 hds with / on it and a raid5 mounted on /data | 09:04 |
| Guybrush_T | now the fstab looks like this | 09:04 |

| renzhi | sorry guys, not much of an irc user, I only use this when I'm running out of wit... ;) | 09:09 |
| theadmin | zahh: Those who say that usually do not. You should just ask the question | 09:10 |
| zahh | if devpts, proc, sysfs are all virtual filesystems | 09:10 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: why are you using mknod? you should have plenty of free loop devices already | 09:10 |
| zahh | are they recreated upon reboot | 09:10 |
| theadmin | zahh: Yeah | 09:10 |
| zahh | and does deleteing them do any real harm | 09:10 |
| theadmin | zahh: No, not really. Just make sure their proper mountpoints still exist | 09:10 |
| SwedeMike | Guybrush_T: oki, I thought the /dev/mapper ones was due to encryption. | 09:10 |
| theadmin | zahh: i.e. /dev/, /proc/, /sys/ and such | 09:11 |
| zahh | k, thanks theadmin, the reason i ask is because ive created a chroot environment | 09:11 |
| Guybrush_T | ah no encryption i only encrypt on my notebook | 09:11 |
| zahh | aand i need to mount those i believe | 09:11 |
| zahh | to make it a full system | 09:11 |
| zahh | as theyre all empty right now | 09:11 |
| Guybrush_T | SwedeMike: i just google crypttab - should i still post it? | 09:11 |
| renzhi | whoppergator: can't you create your own instead of using those created by the system? | 09:11 |
| theadmin | zahh: Well... You can bind them with your real system | 09:11 |
| zahh | if I do something crazy and accidently wipe them | 09:11 |
| zahh | well it do any unrecoverable damage | 09:11 |
| zahh | or will a reboot fix the prob | 09:11 |
| xuser1 | hi | 09:11 |
| SwedeMike | Guybrush_T: if you don't use encryption then there is no need. I'm trying to think of an easy to way to figure out what kind of device /dev/mapper/System-os is, but I'm drawing a blank. | 09:12 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: sure, by why bother? i mean, you shouldn't have a problem either way, but it is usually easier just to use the mount option loop, which automatically picks the next free loop device | 09:12 |
| Guybrush_T | Basically what i want to find out is if bhing the /dev/mapper/system-os | 09:12 |
| renzhi | whoppergator: on one of the system, no loop device is created | 09:12 |
| xuser1 | can i modify dependencyes in a deb package ??? | 09:12 |
| Guybrush_T | SwedeMike: Right - this is exactly what i wanted to ask - how to check WHAT system-os is | 09:12 |
| theadmin | zahh: mount --rbind /dev /your-chroot/dev ; mount -t proc none /your-chroot/proc | 09:12 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: if there is no loop device at all, that means the kernel either doesn't have support compiled in, or the loop.ko module hasn't been loaded | 09:13 |
| zahh | ah k thanks | 09:13 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: are you doing this on an ubuntu system? | 09:13 |
| renzhi | whoppergator: on that system, I create mknod and mount it manually | 09:13 |
| xuser1 | can i modify dependencyes list in i deb package? | 09:14 |
| renzhi | whoppergator: on ubuntu and on cyanogenmod (android) | 09:14 |

| === fabio is now known as hyneckf | ||
| whoppergator | renzhi: yes you are correct. next time please let us know what you are doing this on. i have run into this problem before. the solution is to make sure you are using the busybox versions of losetup and mount, not the system versions | 09:15 |
| zahh | uh not really | 09:15 |
| Guybrush_T | now i have an UUID | 09:15 |
| zahh | ubuntu is based on debian | 09:16 |
| zahh | im install debian on it | 09:16 |
| oCean | zahh: really, really offtopic | 09:16 |
| oCean | zahh: this channel is only ubuntu | 09:16 |
| zahh | god hates ubuntu | 09:16 |
| renzhi | whoppergator: on android, I'm using busybox to do everything | 09:16 |
| oCean | zahh: stay nice | 09:16 |
| renzhi | whoppergator: on ubuntu, I used the system version, but in both cases, I got the same error | 09:17 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: so are you explicitly calling busybox mount and busybox lo? because the standard busybox install will not take priority over the system ones | 09:17 |
| renzhi | whoppergator: yes | 09:17 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: interesting. i have done exactly what you are trying to do many times on my droid2, and haven't had any issues. are you doing this inside a chrooted ubuntu environment? | 09:18 |
| renzhi | whoppergator: I grabbed the standard busybox, and run the command with absolute path | 09:18 |
| renzhi | whoppergator: yes | 09:18 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: it might be an issue with your chroot process then, esp if you aren't passing in the right dev nodes before you do it | 09:19 |

| renzhi | whoppergator: could you be more explicit? | 09:20 |
| zahh | crap | 09:20 |
| zahh | that clever theadmin dudes gone | 09:21 |
| zahh | Does /dev/pts, /proc, /sysfs have to be writable? | 09:21 |
| oCean | zahh: it doesn't matter, your question is offtopic. Please take it to a more appropriate channel | 09:22 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: you should be calling something like: mount --rbind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev to make sure that the chrooted environment can actually reach back out to the real device nodes | 09:22 |

| zahh | renzhi and whoppergator I think you two are attempting to do what im doing as well | 09:23 |
| zahh | are you running ubuntu chrooted in an android phone? | 09:24 |
| oCean | zahh, renzhi and I told you to take it elsewhere, last warning | 09:24 |
| renzhi | oCean: this is ubuntu-related, as I got the error on ubuntu | 09:24 |
| yacc | mozilla disables it, and if I enable it, it tends to lead to hung plugin helpers with a message in the kernel log about an illegal memory access. | 09:24 |
| oCean | renzhi: that part, fair enough. But stop asking for support with the android part | 09:24 |
| renzhi | oCean: I first ask the question on ubuntu system | 09:24 |
| renzhi | oCean: I'm not, I'm trying to get answer for ubuntu, that's all. I can't mount more than one loop device on ubuntu, that's the initial issue | 09:25 |
| whoppergator | renzhi: zahh: either of you are welcome to continue this discussion with me privately, otherwise i will defer to oCean and stick to the ubuntu loop question | 09:26 |
| oCean | thanks | 09:26 |
| zahh | thanks whoppergator | 09:26 |
| k_89 | nvm, got it working | 09:27 |

| raj-darkmystery | linuxuz3r, both oss on same hdd | 09:50 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, what os is it | 09:50 |
| linuxuz3r | yacc, i dont use ff6 so i cant help | 09:50 |
| raj-darkmystery | mint with vista | 09:50 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, edit /etc/default/grub, comment the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT line and set the GRUB_TIMEOUT value to what you want then run "sudo upgdate-grub" | 09:50 |
| linuxuz3r | i dont wanna install ppa stuff | 09:50 |
| linuxuz3r | update-grub2 actually | 09:51 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, already did that | 09:51 |
| glebihan | linuxuz3r, update-grub=upgrade-grub2 when you have grub2 installed | 09:51 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, it should autodetect your os | 09:51 |
| linuxuz3r | what os is it btw | 09:52 |
| imanc | how can I search the apt-get repos for an item i want to install? This is on ubuntu server via ssh | 09:52 |
| glebihan | imanc, apt-cache search name | 09:52 |
| linuxuz3r | apt-cache search name | 09:52 |
| imanc | thanks, i actually knew that facepalm | 09:52 |
| raj-darkmystery | linuxuz3r, i tried update-grub but its not displaying os selection menu at boot | 09:52 |
| rodhash | Hello guys.. Is there any way to customize the lock dialog in xfce? | 09:53 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, could you pastebin you /etc/default/grub file ? | 09:53 |
| === maku is now known as maku` | ||
| linuxuz3r | actually its much better if it is /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 09:54 |
| linuxuz3r | paste that | 09:54 |
| glebihan | linuxuz3r, no | 09:54 |
| linuxuz3r | oh why | 09:54 |
| linuxuz3r | he did update grub right | 09:54 |
| glebihan | linuxuz3r, because that file is going to be overwritten every time you install a new kernel and run update-grub | 09:54 |
| linuxuz3r | and it gets generated to /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 09:54 |
| glebihan | linuxuz3r, that's right so the file to modify is /etc/default/grub | 09:55 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, 'm nt sure about pastebin thing but here is the output (it is of 5-6 lines only) | 09:55 |

| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, wow that's weird, it's the exact same as mine... | 09:59 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, and you did run update-grub right ? | 09:59 |
| Fudge | with sudo | 10:01 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, yes glebihan .. but it then generates menu.lst and here is the output.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/675845/ no signs of windows | 10:01 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest81164 | ||
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, update-grub does not generate menu.lst but /boot/grub/grub.cfg (well with grub2 that is) | 10:02 |
| linuxuz3r | he might have installed grub and grub2 | 10:02 |
| linuxuz3r | i got that problem before | 10:02 |
| glebihan | linuxuz3r, you might be right | 10:03 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, try runnning "sudo update-grub2" | 10:03 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, no windows entry in grub.cfg as well.. what does it means? | 10:03 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, try completely uninstalling grub2 reinstalling grub then uninstall grub then reinstall grub2 | 10:04 |
| Fudge | ur kidding arent you? | 10:04 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, its showing that grub2 can be installed from the package list.. it means i am using grub only right :-/ | 10:04 |
| linuxuz3r | well thats how i remember to fix it | 10:04 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, oh you do have grub and grub2 installed and you have an entry in your menu.lst to chainload into grub2 | 10:04 |
| raj-darkmystery | linuxuz3r, sorry for the wrong info but i am using grub and not grub2 | 10:05 |
| linuxuz3r | oh for grub | 10:05 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 10:05 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, yes there is an entry of chainload into grub 2 | 10:05 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, wow grub2 is not installed, how did you get to have that chainload entry then ? | 10:06 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, you need windows entry on grub | 10:06 |
| alkisg | On my Lucid box, flash player in youtube doesn't redraw itself unless I move something else on my screen (move another window, hover over a link in firefox etc). This started recently, so I'm guessing it broke either with a flashplayer upgrade, or some newer code in the youtube player. Anyone seen that problem? | 10:06 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, yes I noticed that but you shouldn't have that unless you installed grub2 | 10:06 |
| linuxuz3r | alkisg, what distro and what firefox version and is it 64bit | 10:07 |
| linuxuz3r | distro == ubuntu version | 10:07 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, should i install it? :-o if no harm | 10:07 |
| alkisg | linuxuz3r: i386, stock lucid packages versions | 10:07 |
| alkisg | No ppas or anything | 10:07 |
| raven | cannot connect to ssh server any more. username and password right. testuser also does not work. any ideas? | 10:07 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, before trying to put windows into the OS list, you should cleanup things and properly install grub2 | 10:07 |
| linuxuz3r | alksig got that problem before what i did is i downloaded the beta flashplayer on adobes website | 10:08 |
| linuxuz3r | the installation is pretty simple | 10:08 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, please suggest what to do.. coz 'm nt much comfortable with grub thing | 10:08 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, follow that guide : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading%20to%20GRUB%202%20From%20GRUB | 10:08 |
| linuxuz3r | alkisg, just remember to chmod +x libflashplayer.so | 10:08 |
| alkisg | linuxuz3r: when you say before, about when do you mean? 1 month ago? Because I only recently got the problem, probably due to an update | 10:09 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, what version of u utu are you using? | 10:09 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu | 10:09 |
| linuxuz3r | yeah updates sometimes borks your system | 10:10 |
| alkisg | linuxuz3r: if it's broken, I need to report it.. that's why I'm asking if anyone else has had this problem recently, as in, the last week or so | 10:10 |
| alkisg | Did you? | 10:10 |
| linuxuz3r | nope | 10:10 |
| alkisg | OK, thanks | 10:10 |
| linuxuz3r | should i? | 10:10 |
| linuxuz3r | maybe i should report problems too | 10:11 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 10:11 |
| alkisg | Of course, that's what bug trackers are for | 10:11 |
| gaelfx | would I be able to play a game like Planeshift in Ubuntu using the default ATI drivers for a Radeon HD card, or would I need to install the fglrx driver? | 10:11 |
| uabn93 | what did the update break for you? | 10:11 |
| alkisg | uabn93: if you're talking to me, I mean this: | 10:12 |
| alkisg | (01:06:19 μμ) alkisg: On my Lucid box, flash player in youtube doesn't redraw itself unless I move something else on my screen (move another window, hover over a link in firefox etc). This started recently, so I'm guessing it broke either with a flashplayer upgrade, or some newer code in the youtube player. Anyone seen that problem? | 10:12 |
| alkisg | Sound plays, image is "paused" | 10:12 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, is that opengl game? | 10:12 |
| alkisg | And when I move the mouse, it moves | 10:12 |
| alkisg | *it plays | 10:12 |
| gaelfx | linuxuz3r: I don't think so | 10:13 |
| happygolucky | are games in wine slower than they are in windows? | 10:13 |
| glebihan | alkisg, does the problem occur only on youtube ? | 10:13 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, what is utu? | 10:13 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, did you try it? | 10:13 |
| glebihan | happygolucky, yes and many won't work at all in wine | 10:13 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, have install grub2 .. rebooting now.. will update you with the status | 10:13 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, ok | 10:13 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu look two line below for the correct raj-darkmystery | 10:14 |
| gaelfx | linuxuz3r: no, I'm shopping for a new comp and wondering if one with an ATI card is serviceable for me | 10:14 |
| alkisg | glebihan: yes, it only happens on youtube, but I'm not 100% that it's a youtube problem or if youtube is using some flash feature that other websites don't | 10:14 |
| raj-darkmystery | sorry urlin2u was making some changes in system so ddnt observed. Its mint machine | 10:14 |
| alkisg | glebihan: it also happens on other browsers than firefox, like e.g. google-chrome | 10:14 |
| glebihan | alkisg, then it's not likely that the problem comes from an update on your system, but rather from something that changed on youtube | 10:15 |
| gaelfx | linuxuz3r: or I guess a better question would be whether or not Blender functions well with ATI cards in Ubuntu | 10:15 |
| raven | cannot connect to ssh server any more. username and password right. testuser also does not work. any ideas? | 10:15 |
| alkisg | glebihan: I wonder why other don't have the same problem though | 10:15 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, your tryng to fix a mint setup? | 10:15 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, im looking at the games website and its pretty much 1 video card | 10:15 |
| iceroot | raven: ssh user@host -vvv | 10:15 |
| glebihan | alkisg, I'd recommend trying to update your flash version | 10:15 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, i dont know i got nvidia card | 10:15 |
| alkisg | glebihan: manually? ok, I'll try... | 10:16 |
| iceroot | raven: also see /var/log/auth.log on the remote-machine when possibile | 10:16 |
| alkisg | Thanks | 10:16 |
| linuxuz3r | i hope amd updated their gfx support for linux | 10:16 |
| gaelfx | linuxuz3r: yeah, AMD laptops are much cheaper than Intel | 10:17 |
| glebihan | alkisg, well you're on lucid, many here are on more recent versions and may not encounter the same issues (but that's just a guess) | 10:17 |
| thogar | quick question, after creating a persistence usb drive with 11.04, i get no display for 5 minutes, then finally i get screen but its not responsive, what is the problem? i did a debian usb install just fine | 10:17 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, are you booted in and on the desktop? | 10:17 |
| gaelfx | thogar: have you tried doing an actual install on the USB rather than a persistent live image? | 10:18 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, yeah | 10:18 |
| saif | Hello everyone :) , anyone can help me to install wireless driver on my sony vaio ? | 10:18 |
| raven | iceroot, sshd[4251]: Failed password for invalid user USR from 192.168.2.2 port 54555 ssh2 | 10:18 |
| thogar | yes it worked fine on hard drive, but i cant do it that way | 10:18 |
| gregoire | Hi ! | 10:18 |
| uabn93 | alkisg: everything is working for me | 10:18 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, thats why intel has lots of commercial these days | 10:18 |
| thogar | its too much clutter with a huge drive | 10:18 |
| alkisg | Thank you uabn93, most appreciated | 10:18 |
| iceroot | raven: USR is the username? | 10:19 |
| raj-darkmystery | glebihan, urlin2u, yes have booted but there was no windows option.. i at least can see os selection menu now :) but how i can see windows as an option as well | 10:19 |
| mikeyfbi | anyone here using google services right now? as in this very moment? (specifically google docs?) everytime i change a cell is EXTREMELY slow ... just want to see if I'm the only one | 10:19 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, what system are you planning on buying? | 10:19 |
| iceroot | mikeyfbi: #google | 10:19 |
| raven | iceroot, yes its the correct name i only changed that to USR | 10:19 |
| iceroot | raven: what? | 10:19 |
| gaelfx | linuxuz3r: Asus Eee PC 1215B | 10:19 |
| mikeyfbi | iceroot, thx | 10:19 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, you need to put the boot code for windows | 10:19 |
| iceroot | raven: USR? and not usr? | 10:19 |
| iceroot | raven: capital-letters? | 10:20 |
| raven | iceroot, i only anonymized that | 10:20 |
| raj-darkmystery | linuxuz3r, can you please guide me in that? | 10:20 |
| syslq_ | How do you like unity? | 10:20 |
| saif | anyone can help me install wireless driver ? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | syslq_: what does it matter ? | 10:20 |
| iceroot | raven: how you created that user? because ssh says its an invalid user | 10:20 |
| marsupio | syslq, never test but gome 3 is fine | 10:20 |
| gaelfx | thogar: well, that's probably the problem then, Is this a USB flash drive or an external USB hard disk? | 10:20 |
| thogar | flash drive | 10:21 |
| syslq_ | marsupio: :) yeah it is | 10:21 |
| raven | iceroot, on installation i also checked that this user belongs to the ssh group but no change | 10:21 |
| syslq_ | ikonia: well I'm on kde and I'm considering changing | 10:21 |
| raven | iceroot, but this high portnumber is strange isnt it? | 10:21 |
| ikonia | syslq_: try it, see if you like it, what others like may not be what you like | 10:21 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, im looking for an a series laptop | 10:21 |
| syslq_ | ikonia: true :) | 10:21 |
| gaelfx | thogar: did you try actually installing Ubuntu to the flash drive? I mean, not making it a LiveUSB, but doing a full install onto the flash drive? | 10:21 |
| iceroot | raven: ssh group? | 10:22 |
| iceroot | raven: no the port is ok | 10:22 |
| raven | iceroot, yes | 10:22 |
| uabn93 | and xubuntu isnt half as bad | 10:22 |
| thogar | hmm how would you do that? | 10:22 |
| iceroot | raven: what is a ssh-group? you added the user into the group ssh? | 10:22 |
| uabn93 | as i though | 10:22 |
| uabn93 | thought* | 10:22 |
| glebihan | raj-darkmystery, did you follow the upgrade guide to the end and get rid of grub1 ? | 10:23 |
| gaelfx | thogar: well, if you have two USB drives, put the LiveUSB on one and install from that one to the other one. It's what I did for my computer | 10:23 |
| raven | iceroot, yes to verify that. but such a high portnumber is used by trojany right? | 10:23 |
| iceroot | raven: every user can use ssh if the user has a login-shell in /etc/passwd | 10:23 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, can you do: sudo fdisk /dev/hdx where x is your hard drive letter where windows is installed | 10:23 |
| thogar | i guess i could try that | 10:23 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, then hit p | 10:23 |
| iceroot | raven: no its not used by trojan | 10:23 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 10:23 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, you got grub2 now? | 10:23 |
| gaelfx | thogar: it tends to speed things up quite a bit, compared to the LiveUSB version | 10:24 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, dont do the first one that i say | 10:24 |
| iceroot | raven: can you paste the ouput of "id username" from the remote-machine? | 10:24 |
| linuxuz3r | said | 10:24 |
| gaelfx | linuxuz3r: I just want one with a screen big enough to do some graphics work and a decent enough graphics card to handle rendering scenes | 10:25 |
| gregoire | Ubuntu is cool | 10:25 |
| Lafiir | Hi, I run 11.04 on an older Asus notebook. Changing display brightness via Fn+F5/F6 keys works, but I'd like to have a visual indicator for it (like when changing the volume). How would I get that? | 10:26 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, ok but if you are going to spend on a video card you might aswell spend around 150bucks | 10:26 |
| Lafiir | Also changing brightness this way is not permanent and often resets after some random time. How can I fix that? | 10:26 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, go to newegg they have nice selection of radeon cards | 10:26 |
| raven | iceroot, possible that problem is related to my try to add this machine fix to a favourite connection via "connect to server" in "places"? | 10:26 |
| thogar | wont installing ubuntu onto a usb drive wear it out faster though? | 10:26 |
| syslq_ | ikonia: seems like ubuntu is trying to mimic osx | 10:26 |
| Lafiir | I don't need a pinpoint solution, pointing me in the right direction would suffice. | 10:26 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, choose the amd brand | 10:26 |
| iceroot | raven: no | 10:26 |
| iceroot | raven: can you use "ssh user@localhost" on the remote-machine? | 10:27 |
| chocobanana | Hi everyone!!! | 10:27 |
| raven | iceroot, because the logfile says that the other machine tries to connect to the folder all the time | 10:27 |
| ikonia | raven: you've had this problem for almost 12 hours now | 10:27 |
| raven | iceroot, to other machines from that machine it works | 10:28 |
| raven | ikonia, longer | 10:28 |
| ikonia | raven: it seems you are repeating the trouble shooting from 12 hours ago | 10:28 |
| gaelfx | linuxuz3r: yeah, that's where I'm at now, but the Chinese version is really weird | 10:28 |
| iceroot | raven: as i said, first remove the wrong groups | 10:28 |
| iceroot | raven: also, can you paste the output of "sudo grep username /etc/passwd" | 10:29 |
| raven | iceroot, but the default user has to be able to use sudo!? | 10:29 |
| iceroot | raven: but that is done by the admin-group | 10:29 |
| ikonia | iceroot: apologies for interupting, but this has gone on for about 12 hours that I've seen, why not just add a user correctly and delete this user ? | 10:29 |
| iceroot | raven: but the wrong group i mean is the ssh group, no user has to be part of that group to use ssh | 10:29 |
| linuxuz3r | gaelfx, Asus Eee PC 1215B | 10:29 |

| raj-darkmystery | linuxuz3r, i just did upgrade-from-grub-legacy should i restart now and check if windows is there in list or if there is any way so that i can check and confirm without reboot | 10:36 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: back to DHCP, issue persists (if you already replied, please copy-paste answer) | 10:36 |
| urlin2u | linuxuz3r, it doesn't matter which grub is there, if they are on their desktop. All you have to do is purge grub grub-pc grub-common, and then reinstall grub-pc grub-common. | 10:37 |
| jiohdi | raj-darkmystery, grub or grub2 | 10:37 |
| Grey_Loki | Hi, what do you guys think is the best (i.e, most finger-suitable) window manager to sit over a basic install of Ubuntu? | 10:37 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: has your machine got an IP address from dhcp ? | 10:37 |
| ikonia | Grey_Loki: try some, see which one you like, it's all personal taste | 10:37 |

| bitwise | That's what I get from sudo apt-get update | 10:38 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: tried plugging in another computer and it works… :S | 10:38 |
| linuxuz3r | raj-darkmystery, check your menu.lst | 10:38 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: no ip address received | 10:38 |
| jiohdi | raj-darkmystery, you can view /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see if the changes are there | 10:38 |
| jiohdi | grub2 does not use menu.lst | 10:38 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: ok, please do "sudo ifconfig -a" how many devices do you see ? | 10:38 |
| linuxuz3r | urlin2u, i dont know how package conflicts are resolve in ubuntu i used to have both grub and grub2 installed and it screwed my system | 10:38 |
| Grey_Loki | ikonia: I know - I thought someone with some experience of Ubuntu with a touchscreen might have better taste than I do :P | 10:39 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: eth0 + lo | 10:39 |
| urlin2u | linuxuz3r, happens, best approach is to purge both and install grub2 | 10:39 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: run "sudo dhclient eth0" | 10:39 |
| linuxuz3r | urlin2u, can you help raj-darkmystery i got to sleep | 10:39 |
| urlin2u | linuxuz3r, I have tried. | 10:40 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: ok. That keeps on sending a request but it does not seem to be using the right netmask | 10:40 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, are you on the desktop? | 10:40 |
| segunda_hora | Hello, how do I check if an ssh server is running on ubuntu? | 10:40 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: that's called a broadcast, don't worry about that | 10:40 |
| ikonia | segunda_hora: ssh to the server, if it responds, it is | 10:40 |
| raj-darkmystery | linuxuz3r, no entries of windows in menu.lst and anyways when i did upgrade it was showing that i can remove menu* now.. jiohdi there is entry of windows vista in grub.cfg but its not coming on boot selection os | 10:40 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: pgrep sshd | 10:41 |
| raj-darkmystery | the linuxuz3r thanks for help .. good night :) | 10:41 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: it exited with "No DHCPOFFERS received." | 10:41 |
| jiohdi | raj-darkmystery, not sure what you mean not coming on boot selection os? | 10:41 |
| raj-darkmystery | yes urlin2u 'm on the laptop | 10:41 |
| bitwise | Wow, busy in here | 10:41 |
| segunda_hora | squaregoldfish: it returned a three digit number. | 10:41 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: and "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." | 10:41 |
| raj-darkmystery | jiohdi, in os selection menu at startup there is no windows option coming up | 10:42 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: OK, so that's the process ID of the running ssh server. Which means you have one! | 10:42 |
| bitwise | I don't mind waiting patiently, I just hope no one's forgotten my question | 10:42 |
| segunda_hora | Ok, now: I cannot connect through Putty. I was able to connect a "few boots of the server"-ago. What could be the problem? I have tried local address and internet address | 10:42 |
| jiohdi | raj-darkmystery, there is the problem... you can add one using /etc/grub.d/40_custom ... make changes there and then update-grub | 10:42 |
| iceroot | raven: outout of the grep command still missing | 10:42 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: ok, so there is the issue, the dhcp sever is not giving an IP - so either a.) there is a problem with the dhcpd server b.) there is a problem with your cable | 10:43 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, run this command and pastebin the results lsb_release -a here is the pastebin address http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 10:43 |
| jiohdi | raj-darkmystery, you should be able to do update-grub and have it find windows by itself | 10:43 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: Are you getting errors, no response, or what? | 10:43 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: based on that error, there appears to be a problem with the range on the dhcp server | 10:43 |
| segunda_hora | squaregoldfish: putty hangs for a while when I try the internet address and network connection refused on local address | 10:44 |
| raj-darkmystery | jiohdi, can you please describe me how i can add the things? as I already described 'm not much comfortable with grub thing | 10:44 |
| urlin2u | jiohdi, he has both legacy and grub together in the middle of a grub version update | 10:44 |
| urlin2u | grub2 | 10:44 |
| raj-darkmystery | sure urlin2u 'm rebooting the machine once as soon as it comes up 'll paste the output :) | 10:44 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, cool | 10:44 |
| jiohdi | urlin2u, I have no idea what that means other than its broke and needs to be fixed | 10:44 |
| segunda_hora | *connection time out | 10:45 |
| urlin2u | jiohdi, right and I'm able to do that without guessing.;-) | 10:45 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: cable should be no problem since it works with other computers. As for the DHCP range… it worked before and the machine is remembered… I'm gonna try forgetting in the router configuration page to see what happens. | 10:46 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: Try restarting the server. | 10:46 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, here is lsb_release http://paste.ubuntu.com/675860/ | 10:46 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: that would be the most reasonable action | 10:46 |
| segunda_hora | squaregoldfish: physically, or by a command? | 10:46 |
| bitwise | ikonia: This is what I get when I enter sudo apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/ | 10:47 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: I meant the SSH server. sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 10:47 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, cool so in the terminal run this command copy and paste it. sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common | 10:47 |
| iceroot | !upstart | squaregoldfish | 10:47 |
| ubottu | squaregoldfish: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 10:47 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, and leave the terminal open. | 10:48 |
| raj-darkmystery | is that urlin2u ? purge is somewhat risky i guess :-/ | 10:48 |
| iceroot | squaregoldfish: sudo service ssh restart | 10:48 |
| raj-darkmystery | ok sure 'm doing urlin2u | 10:48 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, no, we are going to reinstall grub2 next | 10:48 |
| ikonia | bitwise: remove /http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/ | 10:48 |
| ikonia | bitwise: oops, sorry | 10:48 |
| ikonia | bitwise: remove http://paste.ubuntu.com/675858/ | 10:48 |
| ikonia | damn it | 10:49 |
| bitwise | lol | 10:49 |
| raj-darkmystery | ok urlin2u did that | 10:49 |
| ikonia | bitwise: delete var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ca.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_universe_source_Sources and try again | 10:49 |
| gaelfx | raj-darkmystery: purge just uninstalls AND removes the config files so you can start anew | 10:49 |
| raj-darkmystery | thanks gaelfx | 10:49 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, next? | 10:49 |
| gaelfx | no prob | 10:49 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, now run sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common when asked where you want grub choose sda and use the space key to click it | 10:50 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, it is asking if i also want to remove grub2? | 10:50 |
| segunda_hora | ikonia: returns ssh start/running, process #### | 10:50 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, yes | 10:50 |
| ikonia | segunda_hora what ? | 10:50 |
| raven | iceroot, which grep command? i posted anything via msg | 10:50 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, ok | 10:50 |
| iceroot | raven: also, can you paste the output of "sudo grep username /etc/passwd" | 10:50 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, installing all the things u said earlier | 10:50 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, now run sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common when asked where you want grub choose sda and use the space key to click it | 10:50 |
| squaregoldfish | ikonia: Meant for me - I got it. | 10:50 |
| segunda_hora | ikonia: sorry thought you were talking to me through goldfish | 10:50 |
| raven | iceroot, ok | 10:51 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: Still not working? | 10:51 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, installing... | 10:51 |
| segunda_hora | restarting ssh with sudo service ssh restart didn't help yes | 10:51 |
| iceroot | i love the channel-based command-history on irssi :) | 10:51 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, you have copied and pasted the puge and the install correct? | 10:51 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: removing the problematic machine from the DHCP client list di not help… :( | 10:52 |
| krzych1228 | Hi all | 10:52 |
| urlin2u | purge | 10:52 |
| raj-darkmystery | no hvnt copy pasted i typed it | 10:52 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: re-run sudo dhclient eth0 see if the error changed | 10:52 |
| krzych1228 | K to z Polski? | 10:52 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: Give me a minute... | 10:52 |

| chocobanana2 | ikonia: same error | 10:53 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, selected sda | 10:53 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: got to be a problem with the router not offering a dhcp request | 10:53 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, done!! | 10:53 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery,hit tab and eb=nter | 10:53 |
| urlin2u | enter | 10:53 |
| raj-darkmystery | its done urlin2u | 10:53 |
| chocobanana2 | ikonia: shouldn't it be using the right netmask? My router's is 255.255.255.0. dhclient is using 255.255.255.255 | 10:53 |
| bitwise | ikonia: That worked perfectly, thank you so much | 10:53 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, now run sudo update-grub....and look if windows shows | 10:54 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, ok | 10:54 |
| ikonia | chocobanana2: it's not a netmask, its'a broadcast as I said earlier | 10:54 |
| ikonia | bitwise no problem | 10:54 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, i supposed to check in grub.cfg right? | 10:54 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, run sudo update-grub and see if windows shows in the terminal | 10:55 |
| krzych1228 | Who is in Poland? | 10:55 |

| betanick | how would i set "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" in /etc/network/interfaces? | 10:55 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: netstat -a |grep LISTEN Is anything listed for port 22? | 10:55 |
| ikonia | betanick: that's not a valid ip address | 10:56 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, when you update grub like this it will liost the installs | 10:56 |
| urlin2u | list | 10:56 |
| wildbat | chocobanana2: you said there is other machine working with router fine with dhcp and the connection? | 10:56 |
| iceroot | ikonia: fyi: the ssh-issue was a wrongt login-shell in /etc/passwd | 10:56 |
| ikonia | iceroot: duff user added then | 10:56 |
| betanick | ikonia: running ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 is the only way i can get dhcp to work | 10:57 |
| iceroot | ikonia: duff? the simpsons-bear? | 10:57 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/675864/ | 10:57 |
| ikonia | betanick: that makes no sense at all, that has nothing to do with dhcp, you're setting an invalid static ip | 10:57 |
| ikonia | iceroot: duff is a uk phrase that means "broken" or "wrong" | 10:57 |
| iceroot | ikonia: ah ok, thank you | 10:57 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, is that ok? | 10:58 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, when you ran the first command was it this sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common | 10:58 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, yes | 10:58 |
| betanick | ikonia: i get "No subnet declaration for wlan0 (0.0.0.0)." so i run "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" and all is good | 10:59 |
| segunda_hora | squaregoldfish: if the numbers after "listening" or ports, then port 22 is not listed. | 11:00 |
| segunda_hora | squaregoldfish: or = are | 11:00 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, run sudo update-grub and pastebin all the text including the sudo | 11:00 |
| josvuk | I downloaded a big tar file with firefox but it opend in filemanager, now I don,t know where the file is downloaded | 11:00 |
| chocobanana2 | wildbat: yes, I have various machines here with no issues except for another one running Ubuntu | 11:00 |
| josvuk | can someone help? | 11:00 |
| ikonia | betanick: your networking is messed up in a big issue | 11:00 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, ok | 11:00 |
| chocobanana2 | wildbat: there one other Ubuntu computer that has no issues, though | 11:00 |
| wildbat | chocobanana2: did you try switching cable with the working one?~ check if the router blocking the MAC address of your machine. | 11:01 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: Odd. Look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Near the top will be a Port entry - is that set to 22? | 11:01 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, here is the ouput including command, I am root http://paste.ubuntu.com/675867/ | 11:02 |
| zalun | http://gunicorn.org/install.html gives servers, signing key and fingerprint, how to use them (it's the server - no apt-add-repository command | 11:02 |
| zalun | normal update gives public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY BC981A8115E5EB06 | 11:02 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, I think your fine reboot and see if windows shows in the grub menu | 11:02 |
| chocobanana2 | wildbat: cable works with other computers. Checking mac address blacklist… | 11:03 |
| raj-darkmystery | ok will try | 11:03 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, ok will let you know urlin2u once its up | 11:03 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, cool | 11:03 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: Sorry, in the netstat output did you see something like "tcp 0 0 *:22 *:* LISTEN"? | 11:03 |
| micutz | hello ppl | 11:04 |
| segunda_hora | squaregoldfish: in config, yes after the comment "what port we listen for etc." there is a Port 22 entry. In the netstats there was a tcp ... ssh ... listen entry | 11:04 |
| setac | hello | 11:04 |
| micutz | setac i have a lil problem | 11:05 |
| setac | pl, halp or i gona install windows or cras my laptop | 11:05 |
| micutz | i wanna give iptables a rule to block all trafic on a specific port but when i restart the pc i want to remember it | 11:05 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: Looks like a firewall issue then. Can you ssh in using localhost? | 11:05 |
| segunda_hora | squaregoldfish: yes using the server machine (obviously?) | 11:06 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: Definitely firewall. Not my area of expertise, I'm afraid. | 11:06 |
| segunda_hora | squaregoldfish: I haven't installed any firewalls. I appreciate that you've done all you can but any suggestions to determine if it's a virus type problem? | 11:07 |
| micutz | guys.... i wanna give iptables a rule to block all trafic on a specific port but when i restart the pc i want to remember it...how can i do that | 11:08 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: There's a firewall running by default. Its settings must have got changed somehow. Unlikely to be a virus since you'd need root access to mess with it. | 11:08 |
| squaregoldfish | squaregoldfish: Unless you've done something silly of course ;) | 11:09 |
| setac | please can anybody halp me with install 11.04 | 11:09 |
| squaregoldfish | segunda_hora: Unless you've done something silly of course ;) | 11:09 |
| segunda_hora | squaregoldfish: :P thanks I will see what firewall users do to run ssh | 11:09 |
| chocobanana2 | wildbat, ikonia: can't pinpoint the problem :S Will try rebooting the computer with a LiveUSB Ubuntu 11.04 to see if it's a general issue with the computer or the OS installation | 11:09 |

| raj-darkmystery | wildbat, its dual boo | 11:12 |
| raj-darkmystery | wildbat, *its dual boot | 11:13 |
| cbxyh | #ubuntu-cn | 11:13 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, so with this release debian mint are various problems, it may be that running grub-legacy is best, but really you should be getting the directions of this from thise users. | 11:13 |
| micutz | Thelmaria, ty | 11:13 |
| urlin2u | those | 11:13 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, are you on the live cd? | 11:13 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, ohh.. no 'm not on live cd.. its already an dual boot | 11:14 |
| wildbat | raj-darkmystery: may be manually add one entry then . | 11:14 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, okay are you using two computers | 11:14 |
| raj-darkmystery | wildbat, where and what entry? | 11:14 |
| cbxyh | #ubuntu-cn | 11:14 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, one for troubleshoot via which 'm asking and one which is under trouble | 11:15 |
| wildbat | raj-darkmystery: grub menu enty that what /etc/grub.d/40_custom are for | 11:15 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, the one in trouble had a grub menu before and you were in the desktop when you ran the commands? | 11:15 |
| raj-darkmystery | wildbat, 'm not sure if I know how to do that 'm new for this grub thing. | 11:15 |
| cbxyh | 有人吗 谁知道怎么进中文聊天室 | 11:16 |
| raj-darkmystery | yes urlin2u i am doing and pasting outputs from the machine under trouble only | 11:16 |

| cbxyh | 谢谢 | 11:16 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, and your in the desktop? | 11:16 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, I'm confused here, can you clear this up? | 11:17 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, on laptop... mint is laptop (on which we are troubleshooting things and near to me) I am doing the things on that and pasting outputs from that machine only... another laptop i am using to chat with you and has nothing to do with this troubleshooting | 11:18 |
| villa | hello, something wrong with my vim. Taglist: Exuberant ctags (http://ctags.sf.net) not found in PATH. Plugin is not loaded. so what's the problem and what should I do to deal with it? thanks | 11:18 |
| betanick | i'm trying to create a wap and when i setup dhcp for the bridge (br0) dhcp does not work but if i set up dhcp on wlan0 it works only if i run "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" can someone please help me out? | 11:18 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, so as of now you can't boot the mint computer? | 11:18 |
| raj-darkmystery | i can boot the mint machine but no os selection menu is there.. as i want to select os from mint to windows as well | 11:19 |
| wildbat | !bootinfoscript | raj-darkmystery | 11:19 |
| ubottu | raj-darkmystery: To diagnose boot issues, you can use the Boot Info Script available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ Run the script with !sudo and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 11:19 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, how does the mint boot straight in, no menu? | 11:20 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, i can boot the mint machine but no os selection menu is there.. as i want to select os from mint to windows as well | 11:20 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, yes.. no menu.. straight boot | 11:20 |

| chocobanana2 | wildbat, ikonia: damn old computer won't read LiveUSB :S :S I guess I'll have to put this on standby until I get my hands on a blank CD | 11:21 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, is this what the problem was to begin with? | 11:21 |
| wildbat | betanick, again that is a wrong address~ define what you mean by work or not work ~ err message etc. for others to better understand your issue. | 11:21 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, yes | 11:21 |
| Lafiir | Upon installation Ubuntu created two extra partitions with the size of my RAM. One is for swap. Whats the other one for? | 11:22 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, i want os selection menu so that i will be able to boot in linux and in windows as well | 11:22 |
| wildbat | chocobanana2: oh :< one last thing to try is port swaping on router. ~ and check the lights see if singal is good. | 11:22 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, well the good thing is that you have grub2 only now, I'm assuming this but I think you ran the commands correct. | 11:22 |
| raj-darkmystery | yes urlin2u i did as like you said.. no mistakes | 11:22 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery in theat computer run sudo fdisk -lu and pastebin the results | 11:23 |
| zalun | how to install supervisor on karmic? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=supervisor | 11:23 |
| urlin2u | that | 11:23 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, sure | 11:23 |
| zalun | I can pip install supervisor, but no init.d service is gonna be created | 11:24 |
| chocobanana2 | wildbat: already tried that before… to no avail. | 11:24 |
| zalun | is it enough to just copy it from other machine? | 11:24 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, http://paste.ubuntu.com/675876/ | 11:25 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, so as I suspected the boot flag is on the extended, it should be on a ntfs partition, is that Windows 7 | 11:26 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, vista | 11:26 |
| wildbat | chocobanana2: too bad then ~ you can modify the grub menu and make a entry to boot ISO thou ~ good luck :> | 11:26 |
| * I\O_Error has occurred | 11:27 | |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, we can guess here and try each ntfs or run a script that will tell us I rather run the script what do you think? | 11:27 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, so what can we do to make it normal as in my other machines i never saw boot flag on extended one | 11:27 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, the fdisk shows the flag on sda4 | 11:28 |
| oCean | I\O_Error: please stop that | 11:28 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, do you have the script or if you can tell me how i can find out that? | 11:28 |
| I\O_Error | oCean some fun :p | 11:29 |

| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, easiest way is to run this script you will down load it, exract the desktop the run the sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh command a RESULTS.text will appear pastebin all the text from it http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 11:31 |

| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, if that is confusing just ask questions. | 11:31 |
| raj-darkmystery | sure urlin2u 'm downloading the script | 11:32 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, the script is best as I suspect the C partition is not the boot partition, as you had a recovery, maybe still do so the boot gets spread around, so the flag goes to a specific partition. | 11:33 |

| qmr | if I can figure out how, I will have /home shared between windoze and linux, and have it truecrypted | 11:49 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, should be this /bootmgr /Boot/BCD /Windows/System32/winload.exe | 11:49 |

| g0rby | Hello, could some one help me setting up dual screens with an nvidia gtx 260? The monitor is detected in nvidia control pannel, but i cant enable it there or in granr etc | 12:01 |
| === Bitcable-Preetam is now known as Guest81684 | ||
| oCean | apporc: I read about the reason once, but I forgot. I only remembered that this is the solution | 12:01 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, I think since the sda3 partition is not reading correctly, if you look at it it mentions raid or softraid and there are some other anomalies that you really need some help from the #windows channel | 12:02 |
| apporc | oCean: oh, thank you all all the same. the googleearth is really hard to install for ubuntu 64bit. now though bash see it .it still report errors/ | 12:03 |
| g0rby | Could some one point me towards a faq or something for enableing dual screens with nvidia in 11.04? | 12:03 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, I am wondering about sda2 showing it marked as recovery it may be and sda3 is actualy C | 12:03 |
| Lafiir | I would like to disable a built-in webcam. Tried blacklisting the driver, but that did not work. Any other ideas? | 12:03 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, and sda3 is not being read, so we can't confirm that really. | 12:03 |
| Lafiir | Also I would like my bluetooth to be off on default. I managed to disable it by turning it off again in rc.local. Can I prevent it from turning on in the first place (with the option to turn it on any time during runtime)? | 12:03 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, let me confirm that but should i flag sda2 as bootable or not? | 12:04 |
| === Jocke is now known as megamini | ||
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, not at the moment, on the #windows channel they use this script and they should look at it and help you get sda3 showing really. | 12:04 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, I'm not pushing you off but making sure this is done correctly, the sda3 showing errors is a needed fix. | 12:05 |
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, sda3 may just need a chldsk is all | 12:06 |

| g0rby | Hello, could some one help me setting up dual screens with an nvidia gtx 260? The monitor is detected in nvidia control pannel, but i cant enable it there or in granr etc | 12:07 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, so i need to consult with #windows channel... and what do you think is it ok if i run chkdsk on sda3 from mint machine? | 12:07 |
| kunal | Hi guys , i have an unusual problem . I am using a usb modem. sometimes i can get connected to internet via wvdial script, sometimes it fails. Can someone tell me what to do ? | 12:07 |
| Teotw | g0rby: tried going into monitors and changing it from there? | 12:08 |
| qmr | How does this "encrypt my home folder" business work? | 12:08 |
| g0rby | Teotw: Only one monitor is detected there, the only place i see it mentioned is in nvidia control pannel. The weird thing is, if i disable the nvidia binary driver, dual screens works with whatever the default driver is | 12:09 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, you would have to have the bootflag on sda3 and run the chkdsk /f/r from the live vista disc booted to the recovery terminal, it will ask you if you want it run on a restart, but you need the MS boot in the mbr as well. | 12:09 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery not live vista but vista disc | 12:09 |
| Teotw | g0rby: sounds like a driver issue. Are there any other options for your nvidia driver when you go select which driver? | 12:09 |
| apporc | g0rby: i use two monitors at present too . but my card is ATI | 12:10 |
| Teotw | gr0by: if your card is ATI, you shouldnt have an nvidia driver! | 12:10 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, in other words this is fixable I think but I really think the help there in this part is better. | 12:10 |
| g0rby | Teotw: yeah, there is some other driver available, but its only listed when the nvidia one is removed | 12:10 |
| g0rby | teotw: is was called "experimental driver" or something | 12:11 |
| g0rby | it* | 12:11 |
| Dunas | Hrm. I can't get Ubuntu live iso 11.04 to boot off of this usb stick on a new HP Mini Netbook. It boots, flashes something like SYSLINUX (version number, other info, not an error message as far as I can tell) and then goes to a black screen with a blinking prompt cursor on it and nothing else. Can someone up? | 12:11 |
| Dunas | help* | 12:11 |
| Teotw | g0rby: if your card is ATI, why do you have an nvidia driver? you shouldnt need it. | 12:11 |
| g0rby | Teotw: i dont, apporc does. | 12:11 |
| raj-darkmystery | ok urlin2u thanks for sorting this out... i will try to check with windows channel as well thanks a lot :) | 12:11 |
| usr13 | Dunas: md5sum the iso | 12:11 |
| g0rby | Teotw: i have a nv gtx 260 | 12:12 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, no problem save that script, and show it to them. | 12:12 |
| Teotw | Dunas: I had that same problem trying to install linux on an ancient laptop of mine. I think it wouldnt allow live usb, try getting a cd and doing that. | 12:12 |
| raj-darkmystery | ok urlin2u have posted this in windows channel but no response yet | 12:12 |
| usr13 | Dunas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 12:12 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, you will have to reload grub to the mbr when windows is fixed, just so yoiu know, it's pretty easy as well. | 12:12 |
| Teotw | g0rby: interesting...did you have this problem always or has it only just occured? | 12:12 |
| usr13 | Dunas: Test memory (run memtest) | 12:13 |
| g0rby | Teotw: in 10.04 it worked fine | 12:13 |
| g0rby | Teotw: and ive tried different releases of this nv-glx but the issue is persistant | 12:13 |
| Teotw | g0rby: well thats odd! umm...hm. try booting a livecd/usb of natty and seeing if it works in that - it might be an update problem or something.. | 12:13 |
| Dunas | usr13, good call, looks like it corrupted. | 12:14 |
| g0rby | Teotw: gonna give the other 'experimental' driver a go | 12:14 |
| Teotw | g0rby: good luck! | 12:14 |
| usr13 | Dunas: lucky guess :P | 12:14 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, cool man I have to crash it is 5:14 am here, thanks for you keeping up and pushing through.;-) | 12:14 |
| g0rby | Teotw: It must be some issue with the nv dirver tho, since dual screens works fine when i remove the hardware drivers | 12:15 |
| raj-darkmystery | thanks to you urlin2u for helping me out in understanding this | 12:15 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome qmr | 12:15 |

| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, certainly. | 12:15 |
| Teotw | g0rby: true. try experimental then, usually theyre not *too* buggy.. | 12:16 |
| Dunas | usr13, hope that was all it was, I'd hate to be stuck with Win7Starter on this little thing. :P | 12:16 |

| qmr | I can't even shut down the machine | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: default in Linux meas very little, as the OS is so very customizable | 13:11 |
| qmr | DasEi: I know how to manage packages, thanks. | 13:11 |
| Teotw | qmr: not even with halt in the terminal? | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: top right should let you shutdown there | 13:11 |
| qmr | Teotw: I know I can do init 6, shutdown, reboot, or whatever, I'm saying there is no way to get out of the gui, and this is going to be confusing for a luser | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: if you want the desktop to look like maverick, simply log off and select Ubuntu Classic at the login screen, from Oneiric onwards, Unity-2D replaces Ubuntu CLassic | 13:12 |
| qmr | ActionParsnip: yea, it only had "suspend", but now it does nothing when I click there | 13:12 |
| TL1 | I didn't test unity yet but i have started to hate it already (LOL seems people are united by that) | 13:12 |

| Peppe80 | Anyone managed to get flash hardware-acceleration working for ION on ubuntu 11.04? | 13:30 |

| Lafiir | DasEi: ah ok. I added each capacities up and your right. thanks | 13:32 |

| mdgeorge | I have an m-audio fast track pro external sound card, and under natty it only shows up as an output device | 14:17 |
| jpmh | ty to all that answered me | 14:17 |
| mdgeorge | I remember being able to record using it in the past, although I may have installed ubuntu studio or patched my kernel | 14:17 |
| mdgeorge | I don't remember | 14:17 |
| mdgeorge | can anyone point me in the right direction for getting recording to work with minimal effort? | 14:18 |

| mdgeorge | when running alsamixergui all that shows up is pulseaudio | 14:21 |
| DasEi | !who | mdgeorge | 14:22 |
| ubottu | mdgeorge: 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 :) | 14:22 |
| mdgeorge | DasEi: ok | 14:23 |
| DasEi | mdgeorge: is your chip shown it the gui's right upper corner ? | 14:23 |
| mdgeorge | no, pulseaudio is shown | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | mdgeorge, just run alsamixer in the terminal | 14:23 |
| DasEi | !sound | mdgeorge | 14:23 |
| ubottu | mdgeorge: 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. | 14:23 |
| mdgeorge | DasEi: that's where I started. when I open the hardware settings, the device shows up as analog stereo output | 14:24 |
| DasEi | mdgeorge: so it seems the correct driver isn't found, you now your chipset/model for audio ? else follow link to get it working | 14:24 |
| DasEi | now = know * | 14:24 |
| mdgeorge | DasEi: I know it's a fast track pro using the usbsound driver | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | mdgeorge: run: lsusb you will see an 8 character hex ID you can use to find guides | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | mdgeorge: make sure you set the device as whatever it is in sound options | 14:27 |
| mdgeorge | ActionParsnip: you mean the sound dialog under the system settings menu? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mdgeorge: i guess, basically there is an option to set the sound hardware, it may just pick up | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | mdgeorge: if not then use the ID | 14:28 |
| mdgeorge | ActionParsnip: the problem is that the only option is for output, but I want to record. | 14:29 |
| mdgeorge | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure how to "use the ID" | 14:29 |

| Emerick-sama | I dl'd it all | 15:19 |
| DasEi | Emerick-sama: usb ? | 15:19 |
| Emerick-sama | idk why that'd be necessary, it clais it can do it from C: just the same | 15:19 |

| Thelmaria | rahul: there*. Try #opennebula. They should be able to help you with your open nebula questions better then #ubuntu. | 15:21 |

| Emerick-sama | Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled it before, DasEi, and that didn't help | 15:25 |

| kingofswords | nicofs nah...does that clean out all my unwanted files? | 15:55 |
| what | realtek | 15:55 |
| o0splitpaw0o | After installing the wifi drivers, power down, back up. SHould kick off the wifi for you. | 15:55 |

| what | me? | 15:55 |
| what | no | 15:56 |
| kingofswords | nicofs, thx never heard of that b4 | 15:56 |
| o0splitpaw0o | what: WHHAT? | 15:56 |
| nicofs | kingofswords, at least all the unneeded install files... type "man apt-get" and scroll down to clean and autoclean, that should explain the functionality | 15:56 |
| kingofswords | th0r like temp and cache files | 15:56 |
| what | o0splitpaw0o I have to correct driver's installed | 15:56 |
| th0r | kingofswords: I don't think you want an apt-get option for that. For temp and cache files there is some new ubuntu thing....bitbleach or something like that | 15:57 |

| intmed | yes | 16:02 |

| Abhijit | downloaded 64 bit flash .so file. how to install it? | 16:19 |
| Abhijit | help | 16:19 |
| DasEi | Abhijit: better install from repo | 16:19 |
| DasEi | !flash | 16:19 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:19 |
| Abhijit | DasEi, i dont think 64 bit version is in repo | 16:19 |
| gdzhang | in my system ubuntu 10.10 the .so file is in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so | 16:20 |
| kingofswords | Abhijit, i got prgram called flashaid...i think it dls and installs for you...had loadsa trouble with 64 flash | 16:21 |
| DasEi | Abhijit: tried flashplugin-nonfree ? | 16:21 |
| Abhijit | kingofswords, okay | 16:21 |
| Abhijit | DasEi, actually 32 bit flash is already installed. now it needs to be upgraded so i thought to get 64 bit version | 16:22 |
| DasEi | Abhijit: I had no problem installing ubuntu-restricted-extras which brought flash64 fine to me | 16:22 |
| Abhijit | DasEi, ok | 16:22 |
| DasEi | photon: got an answer ? | 16:23 |

| photon | DasEi: no idea why. | 16:27 |
| anadon | How do I set a custom configuration for gcc? | 16:28 |
| photon | anadon: if you can't find help here, maybe try #gcc ? | 16:28 |
| DasEi | photon: might be nouveau driver, mostly safer to compile and use the old config of a working kernel, sometimes drivers have to be reinstalled (stuff moved from modular to kernel-level) | 16:29 |
| StaticPhilly | evening all, anyone know if its possible for the screensaver to work when i have music playing | 16:31 |
| DasEi | kingofswords: I'm not sure if I got you right, you "deleted" a file you now want back ? | 16:31 |
| StaticPhilly | at the moment if i have music playing it dosnt get classed as idol | 16:31 |
| kingofswords | DasEi, nah i deletd a 8 gb file from xp partition yesterday using ubuntu file browser | 16:32 |
| photon | StaticPhilly: you're using Totem? | 16:32 |
| photon | StaticPhilly: there's a disable screensaver option in the preferences. | 16:32 |
| DasEi | StaticPhilly: I can do so, screensaver-command --lock (If syntax is right) | 16:32 |
| photon | DasEi: I tried reinstalling, but it gives an error when compiling :/ | 16:32 |
| kingofswords | DasEi, i couldnt see it in wastebasket and windows partition didnt increase 8gb either but ive found it now | 16:33 |
| DasEi | kingofswords: aah, different partition then homefolder, well look into trash from ubuntu then, ah you found it (: | 16:33 |
| StaticPhilly | photon: yes im using totem, will give that a try now | 16:33 |
| kingofswords | yeh i think reboot may have sorted...or i might be blind | 16:33 |
| StaticPhilly | DasEi: will give that ago if i cant get it working via prefrences | 16:34 |
| DasEi | StaticPhilly: nickmiss ? | 16:34 |
| DasEi | ah, screensaver, my fault | 16:34 |
| photon | :) | 16:34 |
| DasEi | StaticPhilly: also I can use my lockbutton, but I'm on gnome, not sure for unity | 16:35 |
| imanc | if I want some shell commands to run for each user … what file can I add them to? obviously ~/.bashrc won't do the job | 16:35 |
| DasEi | StaticPhilly: xscreensaver-command -lock , I looked it up, maybe gotta install it first | 16:37 |
| culpn8r | how do i remove ubuntu from a dual boot with win7 and regain the HD space for my main partition? | 16:38 |
| StaticPhilly | DasEi: thanks will look into that one, so when you hit your lock key it activates the screensaver? | 16:38 |
| qin | imanc: You mean, you want to have bash script which can be run by any user? | 16:38 |
| DasEi | StaticPhilly: yes | 16:38 |
| StaticPhilly | DasEi: thanks will have a play with that | 16:39 |
| DasEi | culpn8r: simply format from windows to ntfs | 16:39 |
| imanc | qin - i basically want export WORKON_HOME=/var/www/vhosts/virtualenvs to be the same for each user | 16:39 |
| imanc | 16:39 | |
| culpn8r | dasei, from windows disk management i just format the ubuntu partition? how do i remove grub | 16:40 |
| DasEi | culpn8r: ask in #windows about fixmbr | 16:40 |
| StaticPhilly | culpn8r: you should be able to do a repair to replace the grub mbr | 16:41 |
| qin | imanc: /etc/profile and export your variable there | 16:41 |
| DasEi | culpn8r: ##windows it is | 16:41 |
| qin | imanc: But ~/.bashrc should work too. | 16:42 |
| imanc | qin - yes, only issue i'd have wiht .bashrc is that if a user logs into the server, they'd have to configure their bashrc also | 16:42 |
| imanc | etc/profile seems like the winner | 16:43 |

| SIFTU | Rainy-day: you could do it over ssh to a remote machine | 17:13 |
| lwizardl | i was wondering what is the easiest way to remove ubuntu from a computer and keep windows. reason why is my nephew installed ubuntu on his laptop and used the live cd install option instead of the WUBI installer. I would guess boot a gparted disc, remove all linux partitions, and then use a windows cd to repair bootloader ? | 17:13 |
| === aaasd_ is now known as aaas | ||

| anadon | qin: http://pastebin.com/K9UEsnxJ | 17:18 |
| kingofswords | i know you can do in windows somehow | 17:18 |
| qin | lwizardl: It should, but /join #windows may help to highlight and dangers of the process, imho your netphew make one mistake, left M$ on the hard drive. | 17:18 |
| SIFTU | kingofswords: yeah you can run without a swap.. but basically it shoudlnt be using so no reason not to have it.. try "free -m" to see how much is being used | 17:18 |
| mukti | I can get about 4-5 hours of battery life on my 9 cell battery. It isn't bad but I would like the best I could get if possible | 17:18 |
| qin | *any | 17:18 |
| mukti | kingofswords: How big is your HDD? | 17:19 |
| lwizardl | qin, I think he made 2 mistakes in my opinion. 1) left windows on the machine, 2) wants to remove linux and go back to windows only. | 17:19 |
| kingofswords | SIFTU, system monitor says nones used.....i only have 128gb hdd so wondered if i could use the swap? | 17:19 |
| AglarEdain | kingofswords: You should not get rid of both Windows' virtual memory and Linux's swap partition | 17:20 |
| kingofswords | AglarEdain, how come? | 17:20 |
| mukti | kingofswords: I wouldn't completely get rid of swap, but you could make it smaller | 17:20 |
| qin | anadon: Please /join #ubuntu+1 since you asking question about beta, removing/editing (after backup) /etc/apt/source.list may be a key. | 17:20 |
| kingofswords | mukti, in gparted its on a different partittin i think | 17:21 |
| SIFTU | kingofswords: http://techie-buzz.com/foss/ubuntu-enable-disable-swap-partition.html | 17:21 |
| qin | lwizardl: I think there is also free to download resque disk for 7, dont know link tho. Yeah boy seems to be making wrong choices. | 17:22 |
| kingofswords | SIFTU, thx | 17:23 |
| lwizardl | qin, I have been a desktop linux only user for about 4 years now and could not be happier. but he likes to play windows games on his system. and said that wine/cedega didn't play them right. so his loss really | 17:23 |

| flametai1 | So guys, I have 2 70GB harddrives one of which has Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and now I decided I want to install Windows 7 on the 2nd one, When I install Windows 7 on the 2nd one won't this mess with the MBR? and if so, how hard is it to add Ubuntu 10.10 back on???? | 17:25 |
| SIFTU | mukti: http://samwel.tk/laptop_mode/ | 17:25 |
| computerx | flametai1: Every time I've seen someone do that, W7 stamps all over the hard drives. You'll need to reinstall grub afterwards | 17:26 |
| computerx | You know, because Microsoft are obviously the center of the universe and the ONLY OS for you... | 17:26 |
| flametai1 | computerx, is it hard to do it? lol | 17:26 |
| flametai1 | And of course! You know Windows 7 is obviously the only OS, although Linux is so much better. | 17:27 |
| computerx | I'm afraid I don't know. I make a point of not dirtying my PC with that stuff. It'll involve a live CD though | 17:27 |
| wildbat | flametai1: one way is to deactivated the ubuntu drive, then install Win7 ~ | 17:27 |
| flametai1 | computerx, I don't really want to do it either but I have no other choice then to for gaming.... =/ | 17:27 |
| kingofswords | flametai1, its easy ...im a linux newbie and done it more than 20 times.... | 17:28 |
| computerx | I found World of Warcraft ... acceptable in Wine | 17:28 |
| wildbat | flametai1: or you wanna install win7 then boot back the liveCD to fix the mbr of grub. | 17:28 |
| Rainy-day | SIFTU: it doesn't work.. it does alt-tab but does not do ctrl-r and does not do 2nd alt-tab, even though the commands are exactly the same as for first alt-tab.... | 17:28 |

| flametai1 | wildbat, so if I just unplug the linux hard drive Windows 7 will install on the only harddrive plugged in, and plug the Linux one back in and Grub will pick up Windows 7 AND Ubuntu with out any MBR modification? | 17:29 |

| dropmouse | does ubuntu run telnet server out of the box? | 17:35 |
| Rainy-day | SIFTU: great, got it to work now.. it has to be 3 separate commands instead of 1 long cmd! | 17:35 |
| SIFTU | Rainy-day: nice | 17:35 |
| SIFTU | Rainy-day: xautomate? | 17:35 |
| dropmouse | I just installed ubuntu last night, this morning i did an external scan and port 23 was open? | 17:35 |

| unclemantis | thanks | 17:35 |
| dropmouse | I also had alreasdy enabled the firewall and have only created one allow rule for 22 (ssh)? | 17:36 |

| kingofswords | to format usb stick in ntfs do i use disk utility program? | 17:38 |
| wildbat | dropmouse: ~ telnet is disable by default. you can do test connection to it no? | 17:38 |
| wildbat | kingofswords: you can. | 17:39 |

| tjiggi_fo | neri, /join #ubuntu-es | 17:43 |
| E3D3 | I'm used to install extra OS's with their own swap partition but heard its better/faster to use one swap for all. Is that true & should it be placed in the middle of the harddisk ? | 17:43 |
| dropmouse | weird. if i scan my external IP 22 is open, but it's not fwd'd to this machine, also if i nmap localhost it doesn't show up- so it must be another machine or the router? | 17:43 |
| wildbat | Raweed: that tool is pretty easy to figure out not ? just right clicks new partition ~ or delete resize ..... | 17:43 |
| dropmouse | wildcat: so it's not this Ubuntu machine, i'll go ask #networking | 17:44 |
| kingofswords | wildbat, yeh do have ntfsprogs | 17:44 |
| Raweed | wildbat : sorry never partitioned before, ntfs right? | 17:44 |
| hylian | is there a way to add a network monitor to the top bar without adding the indicator plugin? | 17:45 |
| wildbat | kingofswords: it should be by default .... thou you can't , try install gparted and do it there then unless you wanna do it the cli way | 17:45 |
| wildbat | Raweed: no~ ubuntu default is ext4 | 17:45 |
| kingofswords | wildbat, wont let me do it in gparted either | 17:46 |
| UukGoblin | hi :-) I'm just installing ubuntu 11.04 from a CD, and have chosen to have bootloader installed in /dev/sda3 (cause there was no option to not install a bootloader). It popped up an error during installation saying it can't install grub on /dev/sda3. Then it showed a window asking how I would like to proceed. I've tried selecting "continue without bootloader" (what I'd like most), as well as installing on /dev/sda (as I have a backup), but clicking O | 17:46 |
| kingofswords | cli way sounds good | 17:46 |
| Raweed | wildbat: ok thanks, cos it was ntfs before. changed to ex4, should i partition at the front or back or does that not matter? | 17:46 |
| UukGoblin | I've pressed OK like 10 times now and the dialog doesn't go away | 17:46 |
| wildbat | Raweed: you will need 3 parititon ~15-30 GiB for / , RAM x1/2 for swap , the rest /home | 17:46 |
| SIFTU | E3D3: yes you can use 1 swap for all | 17:47 |
| wildbat | Raweed: do you have windows / DATA in the drive changing it will LOSE all the DATA | 17:47 |
| kingofswords | wildcat its ok ill reboot to windows and do there | 17:47 |
| E3D3 | SIFTU: Are there some tricks I have to be carefull for ? | 17:48 |
| Raweed | wildbat: no its a clean ext hdd, theres nothing on there apart from a pdf i think which isnt important. i have managed 200gb unallocated space on it so now 3 partitions on that? | 17:48 |
| dropmouse | how do I list the currently running daemons ? | 17:48 |
| dropmouse | somehow, my machine is running a http server that I never set upo? | 17:49 |
| UukGoblin | I'm kinda stuck in the installation now and not sure what to do :-< | 17:49 |
| wildbat | Raweed: yes ~ | 17:49 |
| UukGoblin | dropmouse, netstat -lpn | 17:49 |
| Raweed | wildbat: thanks how big do each of them need to be? | 17:49 |
| UukGoblin | dropmouse, (as root) | 17:49 |
| Raweed | wildbat: should i leave any free space between the | 17:49 |
| Raweed | them* | 17:49 |
| irenicus09 | Hi can anyone suggest if nvidia optimus cards gt-540m are supported on ubuntu? | 17:50 |
| wildbat | Raweed: don't have to. | 17:50 |
| wildbat | Raweed: again. you will need 3 parititon ~15-30 GiB for / , RAM x1/2 for swap , the rest /home | 17:50 |
| dropmouse | uukgoblin, thanks... there's a lot of output- I'm not sure what a lot of this is? | 17:50 |
| SIFTU | irenicus09: no not by nvidia.. you could try bumblebee | 17:51 |
| wildbat | dropmouse: sudo service --status-all | 17:51 |
| UukGoblin | dropmouse, this is a list of sockets open for listening on your computer - it contains the IP address, port number and name of program listening on it | 17:51 |
| wildbat | irenicus09: check if nvidia have the linux driver for it . | 17:52 |
| Raweed | Wildbat: got the one for /, How big for the "RAM x1/2"? | 17:52 |
| SIFTU | wildbat: they do not and they wont | 17:52 |
| wildbat | Raweed: how many RAM you have ? | 17:52 |
| A[D]minS | Guys i need ur support urgently | 17:53 |

| wildbat | SIFTU: good luck with open driver then :< | 17:53 |
| dropmouse | ok, apache2 is apparently running? maybe I accidently installed it while trying to apt-get php? hmm... | 17:53 |

| dropmouse | ok, but other services are listed in that window as well... is there a GUI for setting up services/daemons? | 17:56 |

| skim1776 | is it truth that if I install KDE application to GNOME it will also install a lot of unnecessary KDE dependencies so it's better not to mix them up? | 17:58 |
| mongy | true | 17:58 |
| Raweed | wildbat: and then install? or is there anything else i need to do beforehand? | 17:58 |

| wildbat | Raweed: nope | 17:59 |
| kingofswords | nah cant format usb stick in ntfs | 17:59 |
| BarkingFish | skim1776, if you don't want bloating with various KDE libraries and stuff, I'd try to stay away from KDE apps. I failed that one - I'm on Kubuntu, installed one thing and got a whole mass of GNOME thingies I didn't want :) | 17:59 |
| wildbat | kingofswords: strange:< | 17:59 |
| skim1776 | BarkingFish, thanks | 17:59 |
| thegladiator | I am sorry I was curious actually , what is the default OS of the tuch | 18:00 |
| kingofswords | wildbat, i know...ive done it b4...must be dodgy stick as i tried in xp too | 18:00 |
| BarkingFish | thegladiator, He's not referring to a touchpad PC, he means the touchpad mouse you get on a laptop | 18:00 |

| kingofswords | wildbat, ok.... | 18:01 |
| E3D3 | Can someone advice me a page where I can learn about installing more OS's (no windows) with 1 swap & 1 place for user data ? | 18:01 |
| BarkingFish | As for fixing it, A[D]minS - I know I have a touchpad configuration tool on Kubuntu, but I don't know what the alternative tool is for Ubuntu | 18:01 |
| SIFTU | rap2488: maybe ask in #python | 18:01 |
| wildbat | kingofswords: what ? the stick won't even format in xp?#.# ? dead stick? try dd to wipe it see if that help. | 18:01 |
| thegladiator | A[D]minS, did you try the touch pad in Windows ? I had a stupid problem once ....I disabled the touchpad mouse throught the leyboard fn+ f7 button | 18:02 |
| rap2488 | SIFTU: k, thanks | 18:02 |
| thegladiator | and all the while I was thinking the drivers were incorrect | 18:02 |
| kingofswords | wildbat, it format in fat16 in xp | 18:02 |
| SIFTU | E3D3: just keep the 1 home dir and 1 swap.. different root for each | 18:02 |
| intelinside2020 | i installed ubuntu as sisde by side of windows and it has taken 15 GB of space and i need my space back in c: as i need to install som software which requires space in c: and how to get back tht spacein ntfs without disturbing the current OS | 18:02 |
| BarkingFish | Some laptops also have an explicit button on them to turn the pad off - mine does, Compaq CQ61 | 18:02 |
| irenicus09 | SIFTU: Sorry for the late reply, but how well does bumblebee work with nivdia cards? | 18:02 |
| SIFTU | E3D3: you can share boot too, but have to be careful | 18:02 |
| thegladiator | Yes , are you sure u have not clicked that button to disable the touchpag through keyboard | 18:02 |
| A[D]minS | thegladiator: in windows , it work however its not working linux | 18:03 |
| SIFTU | irenicus09: it pumps the output from the nvidia card through the intel one | 18:03 |
| A[D]minS | ok what is the software which u r using in kubuntu? | 18:03 |
| kingofswords | is this cli way of formating usb stick...mkfs.ntfs? | 18:03 |
| thegladiator | oh , so the problem is different , did you check the logs ? /var/log might havve some errors | 18:03 |
| wildbat | kingofswords: yep | 18:03 |
| Raweed | wildbat: thanks for your help, ts creatung them now i'll be back if i have anymre q's! | 18:03 |

| BarkingFish | There's also a touchpad configurator in my system settings | 18:04 |
| hylian | is their another network manager besides the panel applet? | 18:04 |
| SIFTU | irenicus09: yes, just like the windows driver | 18:04 |
| BarkingFish | hylian, you could try wicd | 18:04 |
| E3D3 | SIFTU: Thanks. Should I make a home-partition instead of a home-dir ? | 18:05 |
| wildbat | !fstab | philwire | 18:05 |
| ubottu | philwire: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 18:05 |

| A[D]minS | didn't work:S | 18:08 |
| wildbat | kingofswords: -v see if it spit more detail | 18:08 |
| BarkingFish | A[D]minS, synaptiks is apparently kde only, but it IS in the debian pool :) | 18:08 |
| owen1 | SIFTU: i had UI problems with vbox. sometimes the mouse click was offset. | 18:08 |
| BarkingFish | ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/synaptiks/ | 18:08 |
| intelinside2020 | SIFTU: will i be able to change from ext4 to ntfs without disturbing my os? | 18:08 |
| BarkingFish | I don't know what gnome's equivalent is | 18:09 |
| SIFTU | intelinside2020: you will be able to shrink the ext4 and expand the existing NTFS, or destroy the ext4 and expand the NTFS | 18:09 |
| kingofswords | wildbat, do i sudo mkfs.ntfs -v /dev/sdb1 | 18:09 |
| kingofswords | ? | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: both can use software centre afaik | 18:09 |
| SIFTU | intelinside2020: it will not convert filesystems | 18:09 |
| A[D]minS | BarkingFish found it now , but it will require to install kde packages :D i'll serach for equivalents | 18:09 |
| [THC]AcidRain | kingofswords, what file system are you trying to create? | 18:10 |
| BarkingFish | OK A[D]minS - It's easier if you keep your system pure :) | 18:10 |
| SIFTU | owen1: I say give it another go.. else the vmware option | 18:10 |
| kingofswords | ntfs | 18:10 |
| wildbat | kingofswords: mkfs.ntfs -F -v /dev/sdb1 | 18:10 |
| [THC]AcidRain | oh ntfs obviously | 18:10 |
| intelinside2020 | SIFTU: it wont create any prob in the boot as grub is my default loader | 18:10 |
| kingofswords | ok thx | 18:10 |
| A[D]minS | BarkingFish: ya but frankly its really weird for being with a usb mouse | 18:10 |
| hylian | is there another network manager besides wicd and indicator applet that will handle wireless? | 18:10 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| ActionParsnip | hylian: wifi-radar | 18:11 |
| kingofswords | wildbatCould not open /dev/sdb1: Permission denied. | 18:11 |
| kingofswords | , | 18:11 |
| SIFTU | intelinside2020: no it will be fine | 18:11 |
| owen1 | SIFTU: ok. thanks | 18:11 |
| [THC]AcidRain | sudo | 18:11 |
| wildbat | kingofswords: sudo :> | 18:11 |
| BarkingFish | hylian, What happens when you try to use wicd? | 18:11 |
| E3D3 | SIFTU: I hope that my distro's graphical installation will coorperate. Thanks for the warnings. | 18:11 |
| hylian | ActionParsnip, i will try that. wicd will not see my hardware correctly. | 18:11 |
| E3D3 | Good luck | 18:11 |
| SIFTU | E3D3: it will, you will have to manually partition is hte installs | 18:11 |
| SIFTU | hylian: then you dont have the firmware or drivers installed | 18:12 |
| hylian | BarkingFish, wicd see's the connection, i give it all the same info as indicator applet, but it can never connect, where indicator applet can. (and I absolutely hate indicator applet) | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | hylian: then you need to configure the OS, the GUI app configuring the device won't make it any different | 18:12 |
| kingofswords | wildbat, ah yeh....hehe seems to be going now thx | 18:12 |
| hylian | ActionParsnip, actually it does, i just don't know why, for instance, indicator applet can connect, wicd cannot. exact same information, exact same password, still nada. | 18:13 |
| BarkingFish | hylian, I have that problem if I use the wrong wpa supplicant, but with wext it's fine. It always connects Unsecured and WEP though first time | 18:13 |
| intelinside2020 | thank u all for the help :) | 18:13 |
| SIFTU | wicd uses wpa_supplicant | 18:13 |
| hylian | BarkingFish, the problem is I do not have any control over that. so what the problem must be is wicd doesn't correctly realize the proper protocol settings, but indicator applet does. | 18:14 |
| wildbat | kingofswords: that's strange ~ didn't you failed with -F before :p thru don't thanks yet wait till it work :> | 18:14 |
| BarkingFish | hylian, You do have control over that. | 18:14 |
| BarkingFish | Open wicd, click preferences and hit the External Programs tab | 18:14 |

| Lafiir | xangua: I tried this one already. It can change brightness, but so can power management. Neither works together with my function keys. I suspect the keys go directly to the display and bypass any linux input systems, could that be the case? | 18:38 |

| yeats | j3f3s0N: how did you install? | 18:52 |
| whiz_ | well any key... is any one | 18:52 |
| ActionParsnip | whiz_: you may need to add: 88.191.101.8 packages.medibuntu.org to /etc/hosts | 18:52 |

| j3f3s0N | via apt-get | 18:52 |
| Taftse | yes i know i just thought it was funny | 18:53 |

| j3f3s0N | apt-get remove ... | 18:54 |

| j3f3s0N | via ubuntu software center | 18:55 |

| whiz_ | what descriptor do I use to put output into a file? | 18:55 |
| bonhoffer | ActionParsnip: in this case i would how to put all files into standardout, then grep | 18:55 |
| bonhoffer | right? | 18:55 |
| whiz_ | cat data > filename? | 18:55 |
| bonhoffer | Kyle__: data in the files | 18:55 |

| bonhoffer | Kyle__: thanks | 18:57 |
| Kyle__ | bonhoffer: grep -E "[Tt]he end.$" | 18:57 |
| Jordan_U | scarleo_: Have you tried a different DNS server, like 8.8.8.8? | 18:57 |
| Kyle__ | bonhoffer: Would match "The end." at the end of a line, or "the end." at the end of a line. You get it right? | 18:57 |
| scarleo_ | It's my isps default I guess, you want ip? | 18:57 |

| ActionParsnip | j3f3s0N: there are lots of browsers to choose from | 19:00 |
| yeats | j3f3s0N: from the Software Center, go to Edit -> Software Sources..., then make sure that the mozilla daily PPA is unchecked | 19:00 |
| scarleo_ | ActionParsnip: Will that change be permanent? | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | scarleo_: save the new file, close gedit and try the web. If it's better then you will need to set the DNS in network manager so that the settings stick between reboots | 19:00 |

| mandi628 | i'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 on an old thinkpad, and i seem to be having trouble with the screen resolution, so i can't read the screen prompts and it won't let me login at the login screen; is there a series of commands i can use from the command line to fix that? | 20:38 |
| mongy | paxnan, afaik, removing .ecryptfs is enough | 20:38 |
| mongy | paxnan, thats basically the info for encryption.. | 20:38 |
| mongy | paxnan, what about ecryptfs-manager | 20:39 |
| mongy | paxnan, making new public/priv keys might fix it | 20:39 |
| yeats | auronandace: yeah - I've checked it out before - I just got used to GNOME and never went back. I do use Clementine, though (based on KDE 3.5 Amarok) ;-) | 20:39 |
| paxnan | mrrr | 20:39 |

| mongy | paxnan, unwrap passphrase you mean? possibly | 20:44 |
| Kyle__ | E3D3: Of course, some are different, even though they're identical under the hood, but the reason they are different is they each have their own package repositories and maintainers. See RHEL, CentOS and ScientificLinux for that one. | 20:44 |

| notlistening | bahaa, gparted is good, but recommend loading a live cd and copying your important files off first | 21:39 |
| bahaa | m_tadeu, the problem is that I have used a partition manager (installed fedora 15 ) to resize the root partition and that corrupted the boot | 21:40 |

| m_tadeu | bahaa: but if the mismatch is from the BIOS to the HD, linux shouldn't even care about it | 21:45 |
| bahaa | the mismatch is in ubuntu dev files | 21:45 |
| m_tadeu | bahaa: can you try editing the partitions wirh a ubuntu live cd | 21:45 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, 9.10 is end of life, so why are you using it? | 21:45 |
| bahaa | the file size the partition is 40 but it's 10 so it can't be mounted | 21:45 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, I used it because I had to use ubuntu on new laptop and didn't have newer version | 21:46 |

| urlin2u | bahaa, so the root is not mountable, do you have a separate home? | 21:48 |
| razounette | hey there. my ext4 partition got corrupted after my computer shut down while gparted was moving it. any help ? thanks. | 21:49 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, yes I have | 21:49 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, so any thing you have which want to save, beyond any customization, is in a mountable partition? | 21:50 |
| urlin2u | you want to save | 21:50 |
| bastedmonk | Rat123: are you using KDE by chance to create the launcher in the Desktop folder? | 21:50 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, I just want three things from the /root, the applications I have downloaded and my pidgin chat logs, and tomboy notes | 21:50 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, yes | 21:50 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, but those three | 21:51 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, it not being mountable is from the live cd the root that is? | 21:51 |
| bahaa | it's not mountable from any where (not from grub nor live cd nor fedora) | 21:52 |
| bastedmonk | i found some odd/bad behavior. my command line when entered was "java -jar /home/user/pcgen/pcgen.jar" but it ends up formatted in the pcgen.desktop file | 21:52 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, did you move the left side of the partition while lookinat it to the right? | 21:52 |
| bastedmonk | Rat123: "java -jar /home/user/pcgen\npcgen.jar\s". I edited out the \n and \s and it launched fine. | 21:53 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, I didn't understand, you mean when using the partition manager? have I kept the left side or not? | 21:53 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, did you move the front or the back of the partition, to shrink it the front being moved is when problems happen generally | 21:54 |
| bastedmonk | so basically, if you use the plasma stuff to create the file.desktop launcher, it junks up the command line | 21:54 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, best way to do this for me is to have a look at the whole thing with a script, here it is download it and paste all the text from a RESULTS.txt generated from running the script to a pastebin. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 21:56 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, ok I will | 21:56 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, cool tha will get us closer to whats happening.;-) | 21:57 |
| urlin2u | that | 21:57 |
| bahaa | ok :) | 21:57 |
| thesheff17 | as soon as I install ubuntu the video flashes and X never loads? anything I can try? | 21:57 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, you want me to run it from a live cd? | 21:58 |
| siestacat | Attempting to get netflix on a device that's running ubuntu (not a computer) | 21:58 |
| siestacat | There are no ways currently of running netflix in ubuntu? | 21:58 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, it has to be run in linux so it sounds like yes, if the broken one is the only one on the HD | 21:58 |
| thesheff17 | siestacat, no there is no netflix support on ubuntu because of the copywrite protection bs. | 22:00 |
| Ademan | is there a way to get fdisk -l to output the "System" column with more specific information? (For instance it says "Linux" for my ext3 partition, I'd like to have it say ext3 or at least ext if it can't determine which ext version) | 22:00 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, there is fedora 15 | 22:00 |
| BlueEagle | Ademan: The file system is not the same layer as the partition. | 22:01 |
| BlueEagle | Ademan: ie, fdisk is a partition management tool and it doesn't care much for what the partitions contain. | 22:01 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, not sure there, in the end what you need to do is retrive what you want, the applications are not going to transfer here but a supported install. I'm just trying to get you in. | 22:01 |
| zykotick9 | Ademan, if the partition(s) are mounted you can use the "mount" command to see the format type | 22:01 |
| siestacat | thesheff17 : there's no unofficial or even illegalish way of bypassing copywrite protection? | 22:02 |
| Ademan | BlueEagle: fair enough | 22:02 |
| Ademan | zykotick9: they're not, but thanks | 22:02 |
| thesheff17 | it is because of the DRM copywrite stuff...some people have run windows xp inside a virtual machine | 22:02 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, you need to install lucid at the least, a long term support release, your choice here but 9.10 be installed is a handful of trouble for a new user to be honest. | 22:03 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, I'll try using live cd | 22:03 |
| thesheff17 | so I boot the live cd...video works fine...after an install of ubuntu 11.04 64 bit the video just flickers at me? anything I can do to fix this? | 22:03 |
| bastedmonk | ademan: fdisk doesn't tell you the filesystem type. it just tells you the partition type which is a different animal | 22:03 |
| notlistening | thesheff17, what video player you using and which OS? | 22:04 |
| qin | siestacat: Use other site. | 22:04 |
| thesheff17 | ubuntu 11.04 64 bit...ati 6870 | 22:04 |
| thesheff17 | desktop version | 22:04 |
| BlueEagle | Ademan: Without mounting the partition you would need a special tool for the job. The easiest way would be to temporarily mount it and see what file system is there. The alternative is determining it by reading the data in the partition itself. | 22:04 |
| thesheff17 | notlistening, x doesn't actually boot it just flickers at me | 22:05 |
| BlueEagle | ls | 22:05 |
| thesheff17 | after the install | 22:05 |
| notlistening | thesheff17 which video player program sorry :D | 22:05 |
| thesheff17 | it is the whole os | 22:05 |
| thesheff17 | not a vide | 22:05 |
| thesheff17 | video | 22:05 |
| notlistening | thesheff17, ah now i understand | 22:05 |
| zykotick9 | notlistening, you're not listening ;) | 22:05 |
| thesheff17 | lol | 22:05 |
| notlistening | lol i am now :D | 22:05 |
| thesheff17 | like the splash screen | 22:06 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, what happened to the 9.10 cd you would be better running the script from it? | 22:06 |
| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | notlistening this might be worth a shot. | 22:07 |
| ubottu | notlistening this might be worth a shot.: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:07 |
| NS_tech | what is the easiest way to install an RPM | 22:07 |
| siestacat | qin : another site? | 22:07 |
| zykotick9 | NS_tech, dont... | 22:07 |
| p01son | rpm -i | 22:07 |
| urlin2u | NS_tech, what is the release your trying to do this in? | 22:07 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, I moving the file from this computer to the target laptop (poor transfer mean) just a minute please | 22:07 |
| NS_tech | jdk-7 | 22:07 |
| qin | siestacat: ...than drm infected netflix, but it is off-topic | 22:07 |
| SIFTU | NS_tech: maybe alien? | 22:08 |
| zykotick9 | SIFTU, alien is a bad idea generally - but your answer is correct | 22:08 |
| bastedmonk | BlueEagle + Ademan 'sudo parted -l' does it without mounting or while mounted | 22:08 |
| bastedmonk | sorry if i missed it if that was already suggested | 22:09 |
| NS_tech | i got the link from oracle.com and i downloaded an rpm file. now what do i do with it to install it? | 22:09 |
| SIFTU | NS_tech: you could try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto | 22:09 |
| qin | NS_tech: or find deb version of package. | 22:10 |
| BlueEagle | bastedmonk: Does take an awful long time to run on my setup. | 22:10 |
| Kingsy | ok guys just curious, I have just setup evolution to handle my mail.. I opened it and when I went to close it the left pane greyed out and it refuses to close. I can minimise it expand it etc etc.. just not close it.. | 22:11 |
| Kingsy | does this mean the application has crashed and I should kill it? | 22:11 |
| bastedmonk | 40GB drive here...i know most of the world probably runs 250GB and higher on their machines these days | 22:11 |
| Kingsy | nm I just killed it.. | 22:12 |
| BlueEagle | bastedmonk: Could be my partition tables have been fritzed with disks going back and forth in raid configs and so on for testing. :) | 22:12 |
| qin | Kingsy: How many emails do you have on your accouts, since evolution may need time to import them | 22:13 |
| NS_tech | sudo: alien: command not found | 22:13 |
| NS_tech | what do i do now? | 22:13 |
| Kingsy | qin: hmm naa it crashed when I quit. no idea why, I just killed it and restarted and quit.. it worked ok | 22:14 |
| Langly | Live for about 100 years then die | 22:14 |
| SIFTU | NS_tech: so you installed it? | 22:14 |
| NS_tech | oh wait i need to atp install alien first | 22:14 |
| NS_tech | 8facepalm* | 22:14 |
| redmenace | hi i was wondering if when using jabber/xmpp empathy can retriever the chat room list when im using a conference server other than the jabber.org one | 22:15 |
| Kingsy | qin: if however I have evolution closed. and I sent myself an email (and in evolution I had ticked the box to check for mail every 10 mins) does the application need to be open or will it check in the background? | 22:15 |
| Kingsy | if that makes snese | 22:15 |
| qin | Kingsy: evolution have notifier, which if runs will display topup in case of new emails. | 22:16 |
| jpapertowels | when I install from live cd will changes I made while inside live make it into the install? | 22:16 |
| urlin2u | Kingsy, not sure here never used evolution, but it must be running to check. | 22:16 |
| BlueEagle | redmenace: Not familiar with either the client nor the server, but I would assume that the client would use the same mechanics to look up room lists regardless of which server it was connected to | 22:16 |
| BlueEagle | redmenace: Did you try it and fail? | 22:16 |
| Kingsy | qin: is this something I need to install seperatly? | 22:16 |
| urlin2u | jpapertowels, what changes? | 22:16 |
| Kingsy | urlin2u: yeah thats what I assumed, it wuld just be nice if it gave you a little popup | 22:17 |
| jpapertowels | urlin2u: like if I remove applications while I'm using the live cd then hit the install button within ubuntu would the removed applications still be installed? | 22:17 |
| qin | Kingsy: No, it should be there. | 22:17 |
| urlin2u | jpapertowels, it may do so, thunderbird does. | 22:17 |
| redmenace | yeah it think it did BlueEagle when i tried using pidgin it found the rooms fine, but didnt show the number of ppl in them | 22:17 |
| Kingsy | qin: hmm ok | 22:17 |
| urlin2u | jpapertowels, I doubt it | 22:17 |
| thesheff17 | how do I get the grub menu to pop up | 22:18 |
| jpapertowels | urlin2u: umm okay thanks then | 22:18 |
| qin | thesheff17: hold shift | 22:18 |
| BlueEagle | redmenace: If pidgin shows number of ppl in the room on other jabber servers then it's a short comming of the server implimentatoin I reckon. | 22:18 |
| thesheff17 | qin, thx | 22:18 |
| urlin2u | jpapertowels, the only thst is transfered is the wifi stuff if you use it in the install generally | 22:18 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, http://pastebin.com/s5j1zkUU | 22:18 |
| redmenace | BlueEagle it didnt show them | 22:19 |
| bahaa | urlin2u, I done it right? | 22:19 |
| BlueEagle | redmenace: I am thinking that such metadata queries may go on different ports. Did you check that nothing ran into a wall our out a broken route on the way? | 22:19 |
| BlueEagle | redmenace: If Pidgin never shows the number of ppl on jabber servers then it's a short coming in the client. | 22:19 |
| redmenace | oh | 22:20 |
| redmenace | BlueEagle it doesnt show the number of ppl in the chat rooms | 22:21 |
| NS_tech | sudo apt install alien isnt working | 22:21 |

| SIFTU | NS_tech: that isnt a valid command "sudo apt-get install alien" or as those instructions say use aptitude | 22:22 |

| === EgyParadox1 is now known as EgyParadox | ||
| redmenace | well its a empathy question, but no i dont think so BlueEagle | 22:23 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, yes, to be honest tying to fix this is a waste of time, other then your attachment to any logs in the root, its not being read. Someone might suggest a fsck on the sda5, but that is outside of my usual area I have not had to do that. | 22:23 |
| cornet | flash 10.3.183 - anyone have trouble with it freezing if you don't move your mouse and know how to fix ? | 22:23 |
| redmenace | oh well gotta go BlueEagle ill just live with it | 22:24 |
| cornet | sound works fine, just video freezes till you move mouse again | 22:24 |
| urlin2u | bahaa, you might just consider this a error, and just reinstall a supported release and and let grub2 be in the mbr, to boot everything easily | 22:24 |

| ArseneRei | Phoenix87: Hm, maybe? All I know is this started since I upgraded to natty. | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | usr_: then you need to undo whatever you did, then install the 64bit version | 22:35 |
| usr_ | ActionParsnip, by any chance do you know if this might be caused because the file I am trying to install may be compiled for a 32 bit version (which I think it is) | 22:36 |

| ubuxubu | is 11.04 ubuntu a LTS ? | 23:01 |
| Guest2070 | wat is lts? | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuxubu: no | 23:01 |
| zykotick9 | ubuxubu, no - 10.04LTS is | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !lts | 23:01 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 23:01 |
| ubuxubu | so that means 10.04 is the current LTS | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuxubu: yes, 12.04 is the next LTS | 23:01 |
| ubuxubu | when does the LTS expire for ubuntu 10.04? | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuxubu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 23:02 |
| Packrat3 | grumble stupid...alsa...grumble | 23:04 |
| ubuxubu | ty ActionParsnip | 23:04 |
| Fudge | ActionParsnip u know about firmware for ralink wifi cards? | 23:04 |
| ubuxubu | all set here | 23:04 |
| ubuxubu | i like 10.04 the best anyway | 23:05 |
| starZ | hi there - do you know if it's possible to change or delete a comment on launchpad.net ?? | 23:05 |
| notlistening | anyone have experience with open-chrome video driver and 11.04 & > | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Fudge: nearly nothing | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | notlistening: i've only seen people needing to use xorg.conf to make them work | 23:07 |
| Fudge | ActionParsnip i figure that lsusb showing the card means it is working | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuxubu: oneiric here, works fine :) | 23:07 |
| ubuxubu | is that one 11.04? | 23:07 |
| notlistening | ActionParsnip, all i get is a blank screen now | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Fudge: no, just shows it's detected | 23:08 |
| mrdeb | hi, is everyone in ubuntu ok from the hurrican | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | notlistening: try the boot option: nomodeset | 23:08 |
| mrdeb | ? | 23:08 |
| notlistening | do i add that on the grub command line? | 23:08 |
| urlin2u | mrdeb, not ubuntu support, and would not be discussed here anyway. | 23:09 |
| phillyj | can i get a transparent terminal such that i can see programs behind it like firefox? | 23:09 |
| phillyj | the transparency settings only let me see the desktop background | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | notlistening | 23:10 |
| ubottu | notlistening: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:10 |
| urlin2u | phillyj, you are doing it already I can see FF behind my slightly transparent terminal | 23:12 |
| urlin2u | in 11.04 phillyj | 23:12 |
| mrdeb | i am just concerned ok, for ppl in storm | 23:14 |
| mrdeb | once in lifetime | 23:14 |
| urlin2u | phillyj, are you adjusting the transparency in the terminal edit-profile preferences? | 23:14 |
| Fudge | thanks ActionParsnip | 23:15 |
| urlin2u | mrdeb, we all are but understand boundaries. | 23:15 |
| urlin2u | generally lol | 23:15 |
| ubuxubu | i am about to install 10.04 on a vista laptop. i am debating at this moment whether to use the wubi install or partition the drive-any comment are appreciated on the the better/safer method...considering the fact that i am doing it on a vista machine. | 23:16 |
| zhiwei | hello,veryone.I can't use banshee to listen music,when I start up banshee, exception info:Exception in Gtk# callback delegate | 23:16 |
| zhiwei | Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to handle the exception. | 23:16 |
| ubuxubu | i do have vista back up disks. | 23:16 |
| urlin2u | ubuxubu, your choice wubi is not for lng time use and is just a file in windows subject to it's breakage | 23:16 |
| shbk | hello, I 've makefile. it's whole file: obj-m += hello.o | 23:16 |

| shbk | why make doesn't do nothing? | 23:16 |
| obert- | hello. how to use find to find a string inside a folder? | 23:17 |
| ubuxubu | yes urlin2u but i dont see why it wouldnt last | 23:17 |
| zhiwei | shbk: banshee can't start,do you see my message? | 23:17 |
| urlin2u | ubuxubu, the designer states not for long time use is that enough? | 23:17 |
| shbk | zhiwei:see | 23:17 |
| qmr | how do I install smartmontools without mail? | 23:18 |
| ubuxubu | urlin2u hmmm was not aware the designer said that-interesting. | 23:18 |
| zhiwei | shbk: do you know how to resolve this problem? | 23:18 |
| shbk | zhiwei,banshee, it's music player, what is connection | 23:18 |
| shbk | ? | 23:18 |
| phillyj | urlin2u: im in 10.04 and yes, thru terminal prefs | 23:18 |
| ubuxubu | urlin2u-i guess that settles that | 23:18 |
| zhiwei | shbk: wireless | 23:18 |
| xnixan | Hi, how to use msn voice chat under ubuntu? | 23:19 |
| Fudge | ActionParsnip wlan0 is actually up though, is that much of an indication | 23:21 |
| urlin2u | ubuxubu, you can run it then transfer it to a partition though, some have used it longer then a try out period, but if it breaks the work to fix it is sktchy in some situations and not worth the loss to be honest. | 23:21 |
| farchord | Hey guys, got a problem and it's annoying the bejeesus out of me. I used xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine, did system updates and rebooted. Now, when I start xubuntu, I get to the desktop, but windows have no title bar, the start bar appears but disappears soon after, and I can't type anything anywhere | 23:22 |
| ubuxubu | urlin2u-i am experienced, so i am just gonna stick it on its own partition...i just dont trust vista haha. | 23:22 |
| ubuxubu | done it many time with xp | 23:22 |
| farchord | almost like if the update just.... turned everything upside down | 23:22 |
| urlin2u | ubuxubu, good plan. :D | 23:23 |

| Grim147 | iam about to move over to ubuntu , and i see they have gone a differnt route from gnome , how stable is this unity de ? | 23:30 |
| _melvin__ | i have tow wlan cards in the laptop. one is a Realtek RTL8192SU, the other a Centrino Wireless-N 1000. The Realtek connects with 300 MB/s but the N1000 only with 30 MB/s. what can i do? | 23:31 |
| BuMpIc | so how can i send for someone a message? (what he see with red fonts?) | 23:31 |
| urlin2u | Grim147, depends on the user and hardware, many use it with no problems, try a live cd. | 23:32 |
| _melvin__ | i have loaded the iwlagn with: modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=0 | 23:32 |
| urlin2u | Grim147, 11.10 is unity and gnome3 as well | 23:32 |
| pasha_ | BuMpIc, use /msg 'Nickname' 'message' | 23:33 |
| rodhash | Grim147: I'm not sure about the stability but I can say it's not so lightweight... also Linus said that | 23:33 |
| mrdeb | is it true that unbutu is heavier than windows 7 with ram | 23:33 |
| BuMpIc | or | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: depends on config | 23:33 |
| urlin2u | BuMpIc, don't just send messages or PM without asking. | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: a default install, no | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: my Lubuntu install uses waaay less | 23:35 |

| jose33_Spaniard | I wanted to know if I can use Linux in a HP all-in-one computer. | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jose33_Spaniard: yes | 23:38 |
| jose33_Spaniard | ActionParsnip, how do you know it?? | 23:39 |
| coz_ | jose33_Spaniard, o ne way to check is to download and burn the live cd and run it on that system | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jose33_Spaniard: because most stuff works, you may need a little work to get some stuff running | 23:39 |
| coz_ | jose33_Spaniard, and HP supports ubuntu as well as selling systems with ubuntu pre installed | 23:40 |
| jose33_Spaniard | unfortunately, I can't do that:( | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | do what? | 23:40 |
| coz_ | jose33_Spaniard, that system doesnt have a cd burner? | 23:40 |
| jose33_Spaniard | I cannot test it | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jose33_Spaniard: why not? | 23:41 |
| jose33_Spaniard | in my country, that kind of computer are not in normal stores | 23:41 |
| jose33_Spaniard | you have to order it | 23:42 |
| urlin2u | BuMpIc, do not pm people with asking you have done this twice to me I had the bot tell you why once and asked you not to do this on the channel | 23:42 |

| BuMpIc | urlin2u, ok :) | 23:52 |
| robotti^_ | urlin2u: what is the problem? | 23:52 |
| Thelmaria | BuMpIc: NMap is a network mapping tool. If it's installed, open a termianl and type "man nmap" for the manual page. Otherwise google is helpful. | 23:53 |
| BuMpIc | Thelmaria, thanx. | 23:53 |
| jose33_Spaniard | does anyone know if the HP Omni200 computers family has Linux support. They're "all-in-one" computers and they are not in "normal" stores, so I cannot test it with a Live CD. | 23:53 |
| Silly | Is there a way to change the display a program is running on? For example, I have a program running on display :0, but I would then like to change it to be on :1 without closing the application. Is that possible? | 23:54 |
| BuMpIc | Thelmaria, can u use it? | 23:54 |
| jose33_Spaniard | does anyone has an all-in-one computer??? | 23:54 |
| dmkae | do the wubildr files have to be on c:\? | 23:54 |
| dmkae | or do they have to be on the drive where ubuntu wubi is installed? | 23:55 |
| Thelmaria | BuMpIc: I use it occasionally, but if you want to use it, I suggest reading the man page and searching google. It can be a little complex. Also, be warned that you shouldn't use it on networks you do not own. | 23:55 |
| robotti^_ | urlin2u: have you checked it? | 23:56 |
| urlin2u | robotti^_, you have a mixture of gpt efi and regular mbr partitioning, you have grub in sda when windows is in sdc and I see no /bootmgr /Boot/BCD needed to boot windows, out of my area with efi. | 23:56 |
| BuMpIc | Thelmaria, so this is like a hacking stuff or what? | 23:56 |
| BuMpIc | urlin2u, if i downloaded a program source code and i cimpiled it and i get a dir then how can i start it? | 23:57 |
| robotti^_ | urlin2u: previously it have been working. | 23:57 |

| urlin2u | robotti^_, no bootflag on the windows partition as ell. | 23:57 |

| dmkae | hello?? | 23:57 |

| urlin2u | robotti^_, did you remove a partition in any of the work? | 23:58 |
| jose33_Spaniard | BuMpIc, is it a tar.gz file?? | 23:58 |
| robotti^_ | urlin2u: I am not sure | 23:58 |
| urlin2u | dmkae, wubi is best served being in C | 23:58 |
| BuMpIc | jose33_Spaniard, yeah it was | 23:58 |
| robotti^_ | urlin2u: I removed linux partition when I was installing | 23:58 |
| pasha | robotti^_, why would you do that | 23:59 |
| robotti^_ | but how I can get it on working condition. | 23:59 |
| urlin2u | robotti^_, you are missing that file set I posted, can be added with a windows disc if sdc1 has the bootflag, and then put grub in the sdc mbr | 23:59 |
| jose33_Spaniard | ok, first is: tar -xvzf <file_name> | 23:59 |
