| gmaiarodrigo | Hello, everybody I've tried several ways to do this http://www.isnull.com.ar/2011/05/share-internet-with-ubuntu-1104.html on Ubuntu 4.11 server, but can not make my subnet have Internet access. The DHCP server works normally assigns the IP client machines just right. The only difference is that this tutorial rather than a wireless card I have two network cards eth0 and eth1. The eth0... | 00:02 |
| gmaiarodrigo | ...receives the external IP and eth1 is the DHCP ... can anyone help me? | 00:02 |
| gmaiarodrigo | *11.04 | 00:02 |
| vfw | gmaiarodrigo: Did you do sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" | 00:06 |
| vfw | ? | 00:06 |
| pooltable | Action parsnip what do i do next>? | 00:06 |
| gmaiarodrigo | vfw: yes | 00:07 |
| gmaiarodrigo | vfw: is there any other more detailed tutorial? | 00:07 |
| vfw | gmaiarodrigo: Did you ,edit /etc/sysctl.conf ? | 00:09 |

| love4linux | hello, can anyone help me partition my laptop? I have ubuntu 11.04 and I want to make space for a Win7 OS. I tried gparted but i can do anything on my disk because it is mounted. | 00:10 |
| rhizmoe | love4linux: use a livecd | 00:11 |
| Polah | love4linux: You'll need to boot from a LiveCD or USB to modify your system partition. | 00:11 |
| love4linux | Polah hmmm...is it ok to use the installation cd that I used to install ubuntu? | 00:12 |
| pooltable | hi help installed jdownloader? | 00:12 |
| pooltable | what do i need to do \ | 00:12 |
| gmaiarodrigo | vfw: I did not understand was this command line: sudo iptables-A FORWARD-o eth0-s 10.0.0.0/24-i eth1-m conntrack - ctstate NEW-j ACCEPT | 00:12 |
| gmaiarodrigo | do not know why is eth0 and eth1, if the devices are eth0 and wlan0 | 00:12 |
| Polah | love4linux, yes, that is a live session. | 00:12 |
| vfw | gmaiarodrigo: What subnet did you use for inside LAN? | 00:12 |
| devilman__ | hello, i have a laptop with xubuntu maverick, this laptop it's panasonic toughbook cf 73, my problem is not recognize touchscreen | 00:12 |

| vfw | gmaiarodrigo: That is an example | 00:12 |
| gmaiarodrigo | vfw: 192.168.1.1 | 00:12 |
| vfw | ok | 00:12 |
| vfw | see my pm gmaiarodrigo | 00:13 |
| rhizmoe | is there a way to restart just the mouse driver, or do i need to restart gdm/X/etc.? | 00:13 |
| love4linux | Polah and what about the partitioning procedure? is it easy to be done or there are many things involved? | 00:13 |
| Polah | love4linux: Boot up the liveCD, select "Try Ubuntu" and then you can use gparted, it's already installed. | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pooltable: add the ppa and install the app | 00:14 |
| love4linux | Polah nice one.. thanks a lot | 00:14 |
| Polah | love4linux, back up important data before resizing your partition though. | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | pooltable: the ppa will enable you to install the app just like any other | 00:14 |
| pooltable | Enter the complete APT line of the repository that you want to add as source what do i need to put there ? | 00:16 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 00:16 |

| rhizmoe | neer2005: mount always requires root, or a suid agent like automount, iirc | 00:17 |

| Jordan_U | freebird: Why are you trying to compile wine from source? | 00:21 |
| xangua | or simply install wine from repository freebird | 00:21 |
| happygolucky | freebird: do you have build-essential | 00:21 |
| Polah | freebird: You can install 1.2 through the repos, or add a ppa for 1.3 | 00:21 |
| happygolucky | freebird: and did you try apt-get build-dep wine | 00:22 |
| Polah | pooltable: Then just do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install jdownloader | 00:22 |
| freebird | happygolucky, when I do that, it asks me to download 700 mg | 00:22 |
| freebird | happygolucky, it's too much | 00:22 |
| neer2005 | Polah, i get sudo mount -t hfsplus -o defaults /dev/sda1 /media/MacOS | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | freebird: Why are you trying to compile wine from source? | 00:22 |
| freebird | which are the essentials ? | 00:22 |
| neer2005 | Polah, i meant mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, | 00:22 |
| neer2005 | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 00:22 |
| neer2005 | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 00:22 |

| ionite | what is the difference between LTS 10.4 and 11.04? | 00:23 |
| xangua | !lts | ionite | 00:23 |
| ubottu | ionite: 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) | 00:23 |
| Polah | neer2005: are you sure it's hfs+ then? You could try forcing it | 00:23 |
| pooltable | thanks polah | 00:24 |
| flodine | LTS or 11.04 | 00:24 |
| freebird | Polah, ? which packages are the essentials ? | 00:24 |
| freebird | how do I find out about it ? | 00:24 |
| devilman__ | alguno sabe como configurar el tactil de un panasonic toughbook cf 73 con xubuntu maverick?? | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | freebird: Please answer my question. Why are you trying to compile wine? | 00:25 |
| th0r | devilman__: solamente ingles | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | !es | devilman__ | 00:26 |
| ubottu | devilman__: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 00:26 |
| pooltable | ok where is jdownloader found at ? | 00:28 |
| xangua | pooltable: apps-internet | 00:28 |
| Polah | pooltable: Was it not in the ppa you enabled? | 00:28 |
| pooltable | got it | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | /whois freebird | 00:30 |
| freebird | Jordan_U, man | 00:30 |
| rhizmoe | BUSTED | 00:30 |
| freebird | beccause I want to run nusphere | 00:30 |
| Polah | freebird: Install it from the repos... | 00:31 |
| freebird | and the wine that comes by default sucks, | 00:31 |
| Cortex | WAHEY! the classic [spacebar]/whois mistake, brilliant | 00:31 |
| xangua | freebird: add the wine ppa | 00:31 |
| freebird | well, ok, I know, I could | 00:31 |
| xangua | .... | 00:31 |
| rhizmoe | turns out that unplugging and replugging my mouse fixes the accelleration problem. | 00:31 |
| Polah | freebird: The wine that comes by default is 1.2 as well. | 00:31 |
| * Cortex has the urge to /whois freebird now | 00:31 | |
| Polah | Or enable the wine development PPA for 1.3 | 00:31 |
| freebird | I see, but doesn't work | 00:31 |
| freebird | Polah, unfortunately | 00:31 |
| freebird | any way, which is the pack withe the essentials ? | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | freebird: What makes you think that compiling wine from source will fix anything? | 00:32 |
| freebird | anyone knows it ? | 00:32 |
| Polah | freebird: What essentials? | 00:32 |
| freebird | Jordan_U, because it did in my office | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | freebird: tried the wine ppa? | 00:32 |
| Gr8lady | hello | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | freebird: To compile wine you need pretty much everything that "sudo apt-get build-dep wine" will try to install. | 00:32 |
| freebird | Polah, checking whether gcc -m32 works... noconfigure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries. | 00:32 |
| Polah | freebird: and the 1.3 ppa doesn't? | 00:32 |
| freebird | ActionParsnip, will try soon, upgrading the system | 00:33 |
| Polah | freebird: Are you sure the source you have is for your architecture> | 00:33 |
| happygolucky | freebird: sudo echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu natty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:33 |
| freebird | Polah, haven't tryed ppa so far, | 00:34 |
| freebird | upgrading the system | 00:34 |
| freebird | Polah, I'm sure, just needs some packages, | 00:34 |
| henson | Can anyone recommend a good font for xterm? | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | happygolucky: Running echo as root won't change the fact that the shell, which is what is writing to the file when you use '>>', is running as a normal user. | 00:34 |
| freebird | happygolucky, sudo echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu natty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | henson: system is very readable | 00:35 |
| Polah | happygolucky, freebird: Use sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa instead | 00:35 |
| freebird | permission denied | 00:35 |
| happygolucky | Jordan_U: it's not a separate command such as && or | so i respectfully disagree | 00:35 |
| Jordan_U | happygolucky: echo foo | sudo tee -a /path/to/file | 00:35 |
| Jordan_U | happygolucky: Try it. | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | freebird: happygolucky: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 00:36 |
| freebird | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa instead | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | why mess with sources.list | 00:36 |
| Polah | add-apt-repository verifies it as well, manually adding the line to sources.list doesn't I believe | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | it also imports the gpg key | 00:37 |
| ntr0py | Is it possible to output pulse audio to both analog and hdmi simultaneously? | 00:37 |
| zerosum | hi all! Where are the x libs and headers at on natty? | 00:38 |
| zerosum | i assume /usr/bix/xorg and /usr/include/xorg? | 00:38 |
| zerosum | opps not bix lib | 00:38 |
| Braber001 | question is there a package I can download that acts as a RPN calc? | 00:39 |
| freebird | 2 min | 00:39 |
| freebird | still downloading | 00:39 |
| jessa | im having a problem spoofing my mac address in ubuntu 11.04 | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !info orpie | 00:40 |
| ubottu | orpie (source: orpie): RPN calculator for the terminal. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.1-9 (natty), package size 652 kB, installed size 1720 kB (Only available for i386 arm ia64 s390 alpha powerpc m68k mips mipsel amd64 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 armel armhf hurd-i386 sh4) | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: you can set it in /etc/network/interfaces not sure of another way | 00:41 |
| ionite | xangua: for a netbook user like me. should i use LTS or 11.04? | 00:41 |
| xangua | ionite: use what you want | 00:41 |
| ionite | xangua: haha. that's so generic | 00:41 |
| Polah | ionite: You could look up your netbook on Ubuntu's certified hardware list | 00:41 |
| jessa | the problem is when i try to bring down the network interface using ifconfig it brings it back up automatically | 00:41 |
| happygolucky | ActionParsnip: that gave me the repo for oneiric--which i am on except i use a scarce architecture so pretty much 30-40 percent of the time i have to compile from source | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | happygolucky: oneiric isn't supported here | 00:42 |
| happygolucky | ActionParsnip: i.e. there's nothing in apt-get as far as wine goes for me to install in binary form or otherwise | 00:43 |
| freebird | anyway, so you guys don't know which are the: 32-bit development libraries ??? | 00:43 |
| freebird | any clues ? | 00:43 |
| happygolucky | ActionParsnip: well the snippet of code you gave pushed the wine repo from natty to oneiric | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | happygolucky: the command will match your release, so that's normal | 00:43 |

| jessa | 32 bits? isnt that a little outdated? even my netbook is like 1.6gigabits | 00:43 |
| tfitts | does anyone here use vlc to stream the audio output of their computer to another computer on their network (or does anyone know how and can help me?) | 00:44 |
| ionite | Polah: interface wise, any difference from 11.04? | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | tfitts: I use samba to share files, which I then access remotely | 00:44 |
| Polah | jessa: 32-bit is the address space size of the processor's register. 32-bit allows it 2^32 memory address which is 4 billion and so which is 3.2GB or so of useable RAM. | 00:44 |
| ntr0py | tfitts: i thought thats possible with pulse audio, but i dont know how | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: 32bit is the architecture of the cpu, not the speed | 00:44 |
| Polah | ionite: What do oyu mean? | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | ionite: A lot of work has gone into Unity recently and I expect hardware support to be better in 11.04. At the same time, if you don't like upgrading often then an LTS release may suite you better. | 00:44 |
| freebird | after upgrading the system, to build wine I'll have to download only 300mb, not 700 anymore | 00:45 |
| tfitts | ActionParsnip: I'm talking about streaming the actual audio output of a program, not a media file | 00:45 |
| jessa | samba is complete shit. us nfs | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: language please, keep it family friendly | 00:45 |
| Polah | jessa: Mind your language please. | 00:45 |
| ionite | Jordan_U: i understand but 11.04 ubuntu is too heavy for my netbook? there's no lighter versions? | 00:45 |
| tfitts | jessa: and tell me you were kidding about 32bit and 1.6gigabits | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: I use samba, works just fine | 00:45 |
| jessa | samba is slow compared to nfs | 00:46 |
| tfitts | jessa: cuz if you weren't, nobody cares about your opinion | 00:46 |
| Luckrider | Does anyone know how to add a custom binding for a superkey in 11.04. my IBM Thinkpad T42p doesn't have a superkey, and I want to set fn+control to be that. I have the Configuration Editor open now, but I am not sure how I would set that. | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: never had an issue with speed | 00:46 |
| jessa | i have issues with microsoft is all | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Luckrider: look in keyboard settings | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: then thats not slow is it.. | 00:46 |
| Luckrider | Thanks ActionParsnip | 00:47 |
| jessa | i think its slow | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: that's fine | 00:47 |
| jessa | plus nfs is alot easier to do | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: I have some decent socket options and it blazes | 00:47 |
| jessa | and my network doesnt have to be windows compatible so nfs ftw | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: i install samba, restore my smb.conf from backup and restart the service, I doubt anything is easier than that | 00:47 |
| jessa | but im not here for a flame war about samba vs nfs | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: cool | 00:48 |
| jessa | i want to know my ubuntu brings my network devices back up automatically | 00:48 |

| jessa | ive just been using ifconfig | 00:49 |
| jessa | i tried macchangers as well | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: sure but is network manager or wicd etc running? | 00:49 |
| jessa | whats the process name do you know? | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | jessa: is it a desktop OS? | 00:50 |
| jessa | its 11.04 im using unity because its a netbook | 00:50 |
| jessa | as much as i dislike unity it give me more screen space | 00:50 |
| Polah | jessa: sudo service networking stop will stop the networking service until it's brought back up manually or through a reboot | 00:51 |

| cinematic | What's an optimal setup for running 11.04 in a virtual enviroment? Since I'm on a mac Virtualbox? | 01:03 |
| goer | ActionParsnip: so, how to access the usb hdd on #puter form my other puters pls? It does not show in file manger | 01:03 |
| bt | what that mean #backtrack-linux :Cannot send to channel | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | goer: you can share the mount point with samba | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bt: you may need to be identified | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | cinematic: a light desktop will make it more responsive | 01:04 |
| bt | how?? | 01:04 |
| Braiam | !register bt | 01:05 |
| happygolucky | goer: you can get a blockid for an external hard drive, sudo blkid | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !identify | bt | 01:05 |
| ubottu | bt: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 01:05 |
| goer | thnx. samba is a bit over my head | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | goer: great time to learn | 01:05 |
| overview | my hd full, but how to fix this problema read-only | 01:05 |
| cinematic | ActionParsnip: Something like xfce? | 01:05 |
| ntr0py | goer: if you have ssh daemon installed you can try "ssh://puter" in Nautilus location (strg + L) | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | cinematic: sure, or lxde, openbox, fluxbox and so on | 01:05 |
| goer | 'time' ... bit too busy right now :) | 01:05 |
| Polah | overview: What do you mean? You have a drive that is full but can't remove files because it's read only? | 01:05 |
| leinadninor | can anyone here help me with some weird emerald-related disappearing button issues | 01:05 |
| Randall | I also read that firewalls often cause issues with FTP access, but if I'm having the same issue whether through my ISP or through my broadband connection it couldn't be that right? | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | leinadninor: you do know emerald hasn't been developed for in over 3 years? | 01:06 |
| Randall | *mobile broadband connection | 01:06 |
| leinadninor | not to mention the themes themselves don't load, like at all...and this is after the git-fix/recompile | 01:06 |

| bt | i'm sorry but i'm new in ubuntu and xchat irc | 01:06 |
| bt | i cant understand you!! | 01:07 |
| Polah | Randall: Outgoing traffic shouldn't be restricted by default. Are you sure the FTP server is properly configured? | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | bt: ask in #freenode they wil sort you out | 01:07 |
| leinadninor | this i do, but it was working wonderfully a cpl days ago before recursive rm made me have to reinstall | 01:07 |
| bt | ok actionparsnip thank you | 01:07 |
| Randall | Polah, it has been for almost a year now, cant think of any changes that would have affected it tonight. | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | bt: np :) | 01:07 |
| leinadninor | so ActionParsnip does that = a no? | 01:07 |
| ntr0py | goer: but be warned, ssh encrypts file transfers via sftp, so its slow | 01:07 |
| overview | Polah: yes, this /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw) now read-only because system protect.. and now all files i try delet dont have sucess | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | leinadninor: not sure, I don't use it | 01:08 |
| goer | To be honest, I hv this nice fancy Netgear wirelss/cable router but hv no idea how to set it up, despite many attempts | 01:08 |
| leinadninor | do you use compiz? | 01:08 |
| goer | ntr0py: yes, thnx. I noticed that :( | 01:08 |
| Polah | overview: Your system drive is read-only? You could use sudo to remove unecessary files, but you'd have to be careful not to remove anything necessary. | 01:09 |
| happygolucky | overview: does it say initramfs? | 01:09 |
| leinadninor | ActionParsnip do you use compiz? | 01:09 |
| overview | Polah: look this rm: cannot remove `DSET_Report_for_[PE1950].zip': Read-only file system | 01:09 |
| Polah | Is it possible to remount the system drive? | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | leinadninor: no | 01:09 |
| Polah | overview: sudo rm DSET_Report_for_[PE1950].zip also consider clearing your trash, that might take up a lot of space | 01:09 |
| goer | ntr0py: Ideally I would really like to use my wireless netgear WPN824 V2 router for all of this | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | leinadninor: not worth it at all | 01:10 |
| leinadninor | god damn, I had the perfect setup before doing a rm -rf as sudo and reversing the dir and file in the command... | 01:10 |
| goer | (as I have updstairs and downstairs house | 01:10 |
| goer | ) | 01:10 |
| leinadninor | ActionParsnip, so you're not the eye-candy type then, may I assume? | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | leinadninor: thats why its one of the worst commands | 01:10 |
| Polah | leinadninor, that's why you don't run recurvise commands from high directories | 01:10 |
| iluminator101 | how do i manually add a k in front of startup services? | 01:10 |
| ntr0py | goer: i dont quite understand what you want to do | 01:10 |
| leinadninor | it wasnt | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | leinadninor: on my lappy, no. I use KDE on my media system and it looks ok | 01:10 |
| overview | Polah: I try with sudo, but dont have sucess, read-only file system | 01:10 |
| leinadninor | from a high dir, I was just trying to purge my sys of a bugged up script | 01:11 |
| leinadninor | wound up wiping /etc and /~ | 01:11 |
| Polah | overview: sudo should be able to do it... that's very strange | 01:11 |
| Polah | hang on a moment, I'll try something | 01:11 |
| leinadninor | ya I know.....that was like the dumbest n00b move ever. | 01:11 |
| anthonyzambrano | can i install ubuntu on a GUID partition table…just installing grub to / or the ubuntu partition? | 01:11 |
| goer | ntr0py: have a network arrangement that I can use throughout my house. Laptop upstairs and my other 2 puters downstairs, so they can all acces each other | 01:11 |
| goer | all wireless of course | 01:12 |
| leinadninor | this is why su and extreme sleep depro should never mix | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | leinadninor: its also why backups should exist too | 01:12 |
| anthonyzambrano | PSA: Install /home to a separate partition…..re-install whenever | 01:13 |
| goer | leinadninor: I use Luckybackup all the time. Set&forget. Gr8 | 01:13 |
| Randall | If the ftp services has been working before and something caused it to stop but I didn't edit the /ect/vsftpd.conf file then I'm guessing I should start troubleshooting somewhere else, just not sure where... | 01:13 |
| ntr0py | ok, so the wlan netto data rate is your hard limit for file transfers | 01:13 |
| leinadninor | yeah I know, I neglcted that too. I R t3h bad usr :( | 01:14 |
| leinadninor | is deja-dupe any good? | 01:14 |
| goer | ntr0py: was that for me? | 01:14 |
| leinadninor | just installed that with the fresh install | 01:14 |
| Polah | overview, try this: sudo mount -t ext3 -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 / | 01:15 |
| anthonyzambrano | Soooooo….Ubuntu + GUID partition table? anyone? | 01:15 |
| goer | leinadninor: tried that and got rid of it...too slow. Luckybackup is IT for me. | 01:15 |
| overview | Polah: yes, i try this another time, look reply mount: block device /dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 01:16 |
| goer | brb.....in 30 minutes. hv an appointment with the doc | 01:16 |
| leinadninor | Luckybackup eh? Thank you for the advice. I'll be purging deja, and installing that as we speak goer | 01:16 |
| Polah | overview: Hmm, do you have a LiveCD/USB, or can you make one? | 01:16 |
| Jordan_U | andygraybeal: Ubuntu works fine with GPT. Do *not* install grub's boot sector to a partition, install it to the mbr. | 01:17 |
| andygraybeal | yes, not me, i understand | 01:17 |
| andygraybeal | thank you :) | 01:17 |
| overview | Polah: no, this server at data center and, tomorrow i go to idc | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | andygraybeal: Also make sure you have a BIOS Boot Partition (which Ubuntu's automatic partitioning creates by default). | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | anthonyzambrano: ^^ | 01:17 |
| Randall | I'm sure it has to be server side, but what else other that the vsftpd config file would affect my ability to ftp into the server? | 01:18 |
| anthonyzambrano | Jordan_U: gotcha…But i could SWEAR I've done this before…installing grub to a partition, with success. Is this new? | 01:18 |
| Polah | Randall: IP compatibility? I recall vsftpd having a config to enable IPv6 and disable IPv4 | 01:18 |
| Jordan_U | anthonyzambrano: Installing without an embedded area is unreliable. It will work initially but is prone to breakage (this is true of any bootloader). | 01:19 |
| Polah | overview: It seems very strange that the filesystem refuses to be mounted as writeable. Someone else might be able to help but I think the best way would be to contact the datacenter and organise a technician to start a live session and provide you with KVM over IP access. It may cost a fiar bit though | 01:20 |
| anthonyzambrano | Jordan_U: using chimera on my hackintosh, and I'm not too much of a newb to boot live and reinstall grub if it breaks. <-------In THIS scenario, it will work, at least initially? | 01:21 |

| Randall | Polah, perhaps add "listen=NO" and "listen_ipv6=YES" to the /etc/vsftpd.conf file? I'll give it a shot and see what it does. | 01:21 |
| Polah | anthonyzambrano, you can install grub configuration files (i.e. the stuff that normally goes in /boot) to another partition as /boot, but grub itself goes in the bootloader section of the MBR | 01:22 |
| Polah | Randall: listen=YES and listen_ipv6=NO, assuming you're using an IPv4 address? | 01:22 |
| Polah | overview: That line looks fine to me. I've no idea why it won't mount with write permission anywhere | 01:24 |

You know what I just realized, at one point i was in the middle of restarting the server (probably in the beginning of the shutdown phase) when filezilla randomly got a ftp connection.

| Randall | unclemantis, all the user really needs is the ability to sudo | 01:45 |
| Randall | I think they just have to be in a "sudoers" file | 01:45 |
| Randall | other than that they really shouldnt have the same access as root | 01:45 |
| Randall | so on my server i have "admin" that is a sudoer | 01:45 |

| Bob_Dickerson | So, how do I get windows back up? | 01:54 |
| Loshki | Randall: yes, try another server, and/or another client... | 01:54 |

| commodore | Hey, I need to install grub on another disk because the current boot disk is being decommissioned, the OS runs off of another SCSI drive so all I need to do is move grub to another drive. Ubuntu 10.10 | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | commodore: look into grub-install . There are guides around | 01:58 |
| Loshki | leinadninor: back to #compiz for you, I think. I see 58 logins there... | 01:58 |
| Randall | Loshki, filezilla is able to connect to a test ftp host, and I found a website that would test a given ftp host and had it test my ubuntu 10.10 server and the test website wasn't able to connect due to timeout just like on my client. | 01:58 |
| roothorick | ActionParsnip: Okay... can I just add packages to a running instance of a LiveCD/LiveUSB on the fly? | 01:59 |
| Randall | See, I really wouldn't mind nuking the whole server but I have 4 websites on there and I don't have a way to back them up without getting ftp access first. | 01:59 |
| leinadninor | ActionParsnip, I've done that...it's what the compiz "extras" kick in, but cost me my (custom)borders and (all my)buttons | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | roothorick: you can but they will not stick, you need to modify the squashfs. If you install a persistent install then updates and such will be retained | 01:59 |
| roothorick | ActionParsnip: I guess I wasn't completely clear. I mean to ask if I could make a custom ISO while booted into a LiveUSB | 01:59 |

| commodore | ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll do that. | 02:00 |
| Loshki | Randall: I don't think I know enough to debug your ftp issue. Can you use sftp instead for backup? | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | roothorick: sure, if you have enough space in your ram drive / usb storage etc to work in | 02:00 |
| leinadninor | before it got this far, i had to Alt-F2 and run metacity --replace just to get my buttons, be able to move windows, etc etc, and if I ran it attached to a terminal, when it quit, I also lost all keyboard functionality | 02:00 |
| Randall | Loshki, I should just be able to ignore vsftp an install sftp and they won't conflict right? | 02:01 |
| leinadninor | before it got this far, i had to Alt-F2 and run metacity --replace just to get my buttons, be able to move windows, etc etc, and if I ran it attached to a terminal, when it quit, I also lost all keyboard functionalitybut Loshki, all 58 of 'em *aren't there* | 02:01 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, see /etc/default/grub and you're looking for GRUB_GFXMODE=####x### | 02:01 |
| TBotNik | kolix: I found out that by default the /boot/grub/menu.lst is non-existant and you have to create it. | 02:01 |
| leinadninor | but Loshki, all 58 of 'em *aren't there* | 02:01 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, after any changes you need to run "sudo update-grub2" | 02:01 |
| leinadninor | i igot a bot, that was it | 02:01 |
| Loshki | Randall: they won't conflict. If you already have ssh installed, sftp comes with it I think.... | 02:02 |
| leinadninor | I still have it open actually... | 02:02 |
| roothorick | another idea I had, it may not be 100% ontopic here, but... is it possible to make a "multiboot" USB stick? e.g. have two versions of Ubuntu (x86 / x64) plus Win7 installers and maybe some UBCD | 02:02 |

| Loshki | leinadninor: small groups don't/won't/can't provide instant turnaround. Leave it open for 24 hours to give people in other time zones time to login and respond... | 02:04 |
| kolix | zykotick9, so GRUB_GFXMODE is the same as VGA? | 02:04 |
| kolix | it uses the same mode? | 02:04 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, no, youse GRUB_GFXMODE=1600x1200 for example | 02:04 |
| kolix | ok | 02:04 |
| zykotick9 | s/youse/use/ | 02:04 |
| leinadninor | Loshki, fair enough. I'm used to very active channels. That was a bad assumption on my part.... | 02:05 |
| kolix | so after i edit and save that file, i sudo update-grub2 | 02:05 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, only think i'm worried about there is some KEEP option i'm not giving you | 02:05 |
| leinadninor | I just thought there woulda been a livelier chan, like here, but with ppl that deal with compositing sw issues... | 02:05 |
| kolix | =\ | 02:06 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, try it without first, but if it doesn't work check out the gfxpayload=keep option | 02:06 |
| zykotick9 | leinadninor, you really can't expect much support for a dead piece of software (emerald), good luck. | 02:07 |
| minhthong | how to install software 32 bit on 64 bit? | 02:09 |
| Loshki | leinadninor: well, 58/1447 means about 4% of ubuntu irc users are passionate enough about compiz to hang out on its irc channel. The really obscure things don't even have a channel.... | 02:09 |

| unclemantis | what is the most popular shell that is used? | 02:11 |
| zykotick9 | unclemantis, for GNU/Linux that would be bash for sure | 02:11 |
| unclemantis | i just created a new user and when I log in I see $ | 02:11 |
| zykotick9 | unclemantis, type "bash" does it change? | 02:11 |
| unclemantis | yup | 02:12 |
| unclemantis | so how do i get this to stick? | 02:12 |
| zykotick9 | unclemantis, customize the user account, off the top of my head - don't remember how. Did you use "sudo adduser foo" to create the user? | 02:12 |
| kolix | zykotick9, do i need to reboot the system then? | 02:13 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, yes | 02:13 |
| unclemantis | ya | 02:13 |
| unclemantis | they have sudo rights and everything now | 02:13 |
| zykotick9 | unclemantis, "chsh" is the command you need | 02:14 |
| zykotick9 | unclemantis, run as the user | 02:14 |
| kolix | zykotick9, lol | 02:14 |
| kolix | i think it went smaller | 02:14 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, what where you expecting? | 02:15 |
| unclemantis | and then type /bin/bash? | 02:15 |
| kolix | ok | 02:15 |
| kolix | i wanted a higher reolution | 02:15 |
| kolix | 640x480 | 02:15 |
| dttys | Hi, i'm using aptitude and i'd like to know if it's safe to upgrade manually packages that are being held at a certain version | 02:15 |
| nandemonai | chsh will change a user shell. You can change it manually from /etc/passwd too but chsh is preferred for obvious reasons ;) | 02:15 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, so try that value in grub then? higher resolution = smaller print | 02:15 |
| kolix | zykotick9, do i put a lowercase x or uppercase x | 02:15 |
| dude | x01b to the legion | 02:16 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, just guess but lowercase?? | 02:16 |
| kolix | 640x480 | 02:16 |
| unclemantis | horray that worked | 02:16 |
| unclemantis | thank you | 02:16 |
| kolix | or 640X480 | 02:16 |
| knightrage | hey all. so i switched from karma to natty, and i really do not like how the scrollbars look in gnome. (where you have to hover over it in order to get the scrollbar put underneath your cursor). i thought i could change that in appearance somewhere, but i can't find it. any ideas? | 02:16 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, try the 640x480 first | 02:16 |
| xangua | knightrage: i am sure i saw how to change them either on omg!ubuntu! blog or webupd8 blog | 02:17 |

| kolix | ugh | 02:19 |
| kolix | i can't sudo anymore | 02:19 |
| knightrage | ActionParsnip: got it. thanks | 02:19 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, did you change your hostname? | 02:19 |
| kolix | no | 02:20 |
| kolix | i had an ssh server running | 02:20 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, type "groups" are you in the admin group? | 02:20 |
| kolix | does it start automatically on startup | 02:20 |
| kolix | www-data | 02:20 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, you've got a problem! | 02:20 |
| kolix | how do i change it? | 02:20 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, you incorrectly added one group, and removed all the others | 02:20 |
| kolix | is tht bad? | 02:21 |
| battlehands | ActionParsnip, when I enter the commands "sudo /media/MATHWORKS_R2011A/install" it says command not found | 02:21 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, it can be fixed! | 02:21 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, i hope ;) | 02:21 |
| kolix | haha | 02:21 |
| kolix | any advice? | 02:21 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, what ubuntu are you using? | 02:21 |
| kolix | server edition | 02:21 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, sorry version # | 02:22 |
| kolix | 11.04 | 02:22 |
| polygon-pusher | not seeing a start up pref in control center | 02:22 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, actually doesn't matter, i doubt anyone here is running server. I can't really help, you need to find out what groups a regular user is a member of, then try adding yourself to those groups - and PRAY that you don't need sudo | 02:22 |
| polygon-pusher | theres a start up programs but thats all | 02:22 |

| Polah | RenatoSilva, didn't what? | 03:10 |
| jrib | battlehands: why would you run matlab as superuser and not a regular user? | 03:10 |
| zykotick9 | Polah, 7 means user has read/write/execute, 5 mean group has read/write, and 5 mean other has read/write | 03:10 |
| RenatoSilva | ActionParsnip: home, not home's content | 03:10 |
| battlehands | jrib, because when I run it as a regular user It wont open. | 03:10 |

| ActionParsnip | RenatoSilva: oh, the actual folder /home ? | 03:11 |
| battlehands | jrib, ok, thanks for the help. | 03:11 |
| RenatoSilva | Polah: what what? last thing you said | 03:11 |

| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: ahhh, (s)imple :D | 03:22 |
| kolix | ok | 03:23 |
| kolix | how do i set a password for root? | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: you don't | 03:24 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, not supported in this channel | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: nor is it required | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: you can get a root prompt with: sudo -i | 03:24 |
| zykotick9 | kolix, i agree with ActionParsnip's comment above | 03:24 |
| kolix | ActionParsnip, i was never given the option to provide a root password during installtion | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: yes, the account is disabled | 03:24 |
| zykotick9 | !root | kolix | 03:24 |
| ubottu | kolix: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:25 |
| Polah | Is sudo apt-get install lxde the proper way to install LXDE or do I need to use another package name like for GNOME? | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: you use your user account and prefix commands with sudo when you need extra access | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Polah: yeah it's fine | 03:25 |
| Polah | ActionParsnip, alright thanks | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lxde rocks hard | 03:25 |
| zykotick9 | or lxde "hardly rocks" :p | 03:25 |
| Polah | Well, we'll see. It's supposed to be lightweight so I guess I'll find out. | 03:26 |
| zykotick9 | Polah, it is that (lightweight) | 03:26 |
| jetscreamer | lxde is nice | 03:27 |
| jetscreamer | and lightweight | 03:27 |

| dgroos | Once configured, how do you start a VPN connection on a desktop installation? | 03:27 |
| Polah | Could I have multiple panels like with gnome? | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ | 03:28 |
| vfw | I have lxde and Alt-F2 does not bring up the run command. | 03:28 |
| vfw | It's supposed to. Right? | 03:28 |
| zykotick9 | vfw, alt+f2 is a Gnome shortcut, might not exist in lxde | 03:29 |
| vfw | kolix: xrandr | 03:29 |
| Lenny_nobody | so to send a private message I use the msg/ command? | 03:29 |
| zykotick9 | vfw, xrandr does nothing for VTs | 03:29 |
| vfw | zykotick9: It's in the config | 03:29 |
| dgroos | I've been trying to get VPN to work for close to 3 hours. I'm using Natty. | 03:29 |
| dskdaskads | dgroos: hi, whats the problem exactly | 03:29 |
| dskdaskads | is it pptp or openvpn | 03:30 |
| zykotick9 | vfw, "might" not exist in lxde - i'm not an lxde person... | 03:30 |
| Polah | Keyboard Shortcuts from System > preferences is gnome-keybinding, so you'd have to have GNOME installed for those to be set | 03:30 |
| Nach0z | vfw: you might just have to go to apps -> accessories -> LXTerminal | 03:30 |
| Nach0z | I dont know that LXDE does shortcut keys at all actually | 03:31 |
| Nach0z | seeing as it's what i use, i should probably look into that... | 03:31 |
| dgroos | dskdaskads: Thanks for asking! It's pptp. I've configured it as per instructions on the 'net but then I don't see how to start it besides going to the panel icon, and putting a check next to the connection name I made. | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: look in ~/.config/lxde possibly. I'm at work SSHd to my fileserver now, so cannot access LXDE configs | 03:31 |
| dskdaskads | dgroos: are you using network manager? | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: could ask in #lubuntu | 03:32 |
| vfw | ActionParsnip: Ok tnx. | 03:32 |
| Nach0z | ActionParsnip: you considered using NeatX? | 03:32 |
| Polah | Alright, time to go and see how good lxde is | 03:32 |
| dgroos | dskdaskads: I've tried initiating an ssh session but nothing happens. Yes, using Network Manager. | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: possibly ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml | 03:33 |
| dskdaskads | dgroos: I've never had any problems with pptp in network manager, its much easier than openvpn. check the logs System > Admin > Log File Viewer | 03:33 |
| dskdaskads | open it and try to use pptp | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: actually it's lxde-rc.xml | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: may help http://pclosmag.com/html/Issues/201011/page09.html | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | vfw: ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml | 03:34 |
| dgroos | dskdaskads: I went to look at the logs but couldn't find the correct one. Which one should I check? | 03:34 |
| rocky | Hello i just install xampp and im wondering how to start xampp automaticly when i reboot my computer. i checked there site but i think ubuntu works abit diffrently | 03:34 |
| dskdaskads | dgroos: it should set new log entries with bold | 03:35 |
| dskdaskads | dgroos: or type "dmesg" in terminal | 03:35 |
| dgroos | dskdaskads: Right! I'll check, thanks! | 03:35 |
| Polah | What does panel alignment in LXDE do? | 03:35 |
| zykotick9 | !xampp | rocky | 03:35 |
| ubottu | rocky: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 03:35 |
| dgroos | dskdaskads: but first, just for the record, how DO you initiate a vpn session??? | 03:36 |

| ActionParsnip | keithzg_: updates do a lot, after updating try the driver application after a reboot | 03:45 |
| dskdaskads | oh it's applet :) | 03:45 |
| RenatoSilva | is there any ui way to manage swap? | 03:46 |

| keithzg_ | ActionParsnip: Yeah, it's just that the ar9287 should've worked anyways, from what I could figure out, so it puzzles me. | 03:47 |

| dskdaskads | lol | 03:49 |
| Lenny_nobody | whew am I drunk | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | RenatoSilva: the swapiness value tells the kernel how often to use swap, high swapiness will make the swap space be used more, lower will try and keep apps in ram and use swap less | 03:49 |

| GTRsdk | Is it possible to get codecs from Windows into UBuntu? | 03:52 |
| theadmin | GTRsdk: no | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | GTRsdk: there is w32codecs or w64codecs on the medibuntu repo | 03:52 |
| GTRsdk | act | 03:52 |
| GTRsdk | ActionParsnip: will that work with .acm files? | 03:52 |
| bonks | What's the best way to setup a gui on natty server? | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | GTRsdk: if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras gnome-mplayer vlc and w32codecs there's not much you won't be able to play, the file extension doesn't tell us much | 03:53 |
| kolix | lol this is gonna sound stupid | 03:54 |
| kolix | but how do i get into phpmyadmin | 03:54 |
| GTRsdk | ActionParsnip: oh. I thought it was a codec installer which could use .acm files. | 03:54 |
| kolix | when i installed it using apt-get i was never presented with an option to provide a username and password | 03:54 |
| kolix | i have a mysql root password | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | GTRsdk: again, saying the extension of the file means nothing | 03:54 |
| dskdaskads | after Kernel upgrade my Wireless patch stopped working. Is this normal? | 03:55 |
| GTRsdk | ActionParsnip: the codec I want to use is the atrac3 codec | 03:55 |
| Polah | kolix: username and password are the mysql username and password. | 03:57 |
| Polah | kolix: for phpmyadmin, that is | 03:57 |

| ActionParsnip | dskdaskads: try: killall gnome-panel and it will reload | 04:33 |
| mordof | can anyone tell me where the main system logs are kept? | 04:33 |
| theadmin | mordof: /var/log/ | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: /var/log | 04:34 |
| Polah | theadmin: I meant lxde. I was thinking lxde, xkfe and then thought of xkcd and kind of mashed them together by accident | 04:34 |
| happygolucky | lxdm and lxde are i belive display sessions and managers | 04:34 |
| kolten | Hello? | 04:34 |
| dskdaskads | ActionParsnip: it worked :) | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: I'd test RAM using the option in grub | 04:34 |
| theadmin | Polah: Thought so :D | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dskdaskads: magic | 04:34 |
| dskdaskads | lol | 04:34 |
| Polah | theadmin: I got it wrong again then as well, xkfe instead of xfce. All these four letter combinations D: | 04:34 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: :\ that's a disturbing thought... i will soon, which log should i check for the time being? | 04:34 |
| dskdaskads | oh just another thing. I have 4gb ram and system monitor shows 3.7gb | 04:35 |
| theadmin | Polah: Heh | 04:35 |
| dskdaskads | why? | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dskdaskads: do you use onboard video? | 04:35 |
| dskdaskads | ActionParsnip: it's a laptop and im not using proprietary drivers | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: n ot sure personally | 04:35 |
| dskdaskads | i dont know | 04:35 |
| ELuis | Hi. | 04:36 |
| kolten | I have a problem. I installed ubuntu 11.04 and my grub 1.99 bootloader has my Windows 7 partition on it as an option to select it, but when I select it, it just brings up a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Any solutions? | 04:36 |
| ActionParsnip | dskdaskads: probably using 32bit Ubuntu, it cannot see the full RAM amount, you may want to install the PAE kernel to see the whole lot | 04:36 |
| dskdaskads | ActionParsnip: im using 64bit | 04:36 |
| ActionParsnip | dskdaskads: then your video chip is probably using some ram | 04:36 |
| Polah | dskdaskads, then that's probably onboard. GPUs that don't have dedicated video memory (i.e. onboard GPUs) borrow from the system memory. 256MB would seem pretty normal and would give you 3.7GB instead of the full 4GB | 04:36 |
| dskdaskads | oh ok | 04:37 |
| ELuis | Why is it generally frowned upon when a 30-year-old man lives in part of his mom's home? | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ELuis: wrong channel dude | 04:37 |
| sabrion | Dell Inspiron 1501, Wireless broadcom 4311 wlan, how do I make it work? | 04:37 |
| theadmin | ELuis: Because this is the wrong channel | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | sabrion | 04:37 |
| kolten | Hello? Can anyone hear me? | 04:37 |
| ubottu | sabrion: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 04:37 |
| ELuis | Which channel to do you recommend? | 04:37 |
| rww | !ot | ELuis | 04:37 |
| ubottu | ELuis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 04:37 |
| dskdaskads | ELuis: because ppl have different lives | 04:37 |

| boxbeatsy | hi, i'm trying to setup vsftpd. everything works, except for some reason, i can't replace any files. i can delete the file first and then upload it anew. does anyone know what might be causing this? | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: sure, reboot and hold shift at boot, select memtest from grub | 04:39 |
| Polah | boxbeatsy: Could you pastebin /etc/vsftpd or /etc/vsftpd.conf for me please? | 04:39 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: well, meant from within a logged in session, but i suppose that wouldn't be very effective anyway | 04:39 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, already attempted, failed. | 04:39 |
| kolten | Did anyone catch my post? | 04:39 |
| Polah | kolten: May be better asked in #grub or #windows | 04:40 |
| kolten | ok... | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sabrion: that's how you set them up. Can you expand on "failed" it tells us near nothing | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: not very as the OS would change the contents and create false positives | 04:41 |
| boxbeatsy | Polah: ok, here it is: https://gist.github.com/1c730cd7b1029f52fc69 | 04:41 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, I followed the directions, and the device hasn't activated, it hasn't shown up in the connection manager.... nada, zip, zilch, nathan... failed. | 04:41 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: *nods*. skimmed the logs, found nothing that stuck out :\ i'll have to do a mem test. is there a video card test in existance? | 04:41 |
| dskdaskads | /etc/sensors3.conf | 04:42 |
| dskdaskads | ? | 04:42 |
| mordof | man i really hope i'm not going to have to format.. | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: not that I know of | 04:42 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, Ubuntu realizes that the device is there... The previous drivers are installed... but the wireless connections do not show up at all... even after install and restart. | 04:42 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, and somehow the wired connection is gone as well. | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | sabrion: can you give a pastebin of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; sudo rfkill list; dmesg | grep -i firm Thanks | 04:43 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, on it. | 04:43 |
| phenrique | how to down a site? :) | 04:44 |
| Omen_20 | hi you guys. I'm having a problem with my new asus laptop. The volume up and down buttons arent working. Theyre combos of fn and F11/F12. When I try entering that key combo it doesnt recognize it. | 04:44 |
| Omen_20 | All the other functions that uses fn works though like brightness, wifi, and turning off the screen. | 04:44 |
| powner | <phenrique> what is the ip | 04:45 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: do you know of a way to log all activity into a seperate file - only for the current session? | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | phenrique: stop the httpd | 04:45 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: thinking that would show what was currently happening when a crash occurs.. | 04:45 |
| happygolucky | Omen_20: but there is some sound? | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: not sure, maybe others can advise on it though | 04:45 |
| Omen_20 | yeah my sound works. I can obviously use the sound menu but I would like to be able to use the keyboard like im used to. | 04:46 |
| phenrique | powner, 200.137.162.240 | 04:46 |
| mordof | Does anyone know how I would keep a log for everything running only for the current session? I'm having crashing issues and I have no idea where | 04:46 |
| boxbeatsy | Polah: o ok, so i made some headway. it seems that hte files that i cannot replace are owned by www-data:www-data when the ftp user is twmaftpa:www-data | 04:46 |
| Polah | boxbeatsy: 022 would set files to 755 which would make them non-writeable which may allow you to delete them but not to change/write them | 04:46 |
| boxbeatsy | Polah: do you by any chance know how i could grant twmaftpa user the ability to replace files that have a chown setting of www-data:www-data? (twmaftpa is already part of the www-data group) | 04:47 |
| Polah | boxbeatsy: set umask to 002 which will give group write access | 04:47 |
| Polah | boxbeatsy: You'll need to change the permissions of existing files to 775 as well | 04:47 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/dvZL0Qjn | 04:49 |
| Polah | [;pl]'# | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | sabrion: you missed: dmesg | grep firm or does that output nothing? | 04:50 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, I ran it as a one liner. | 04:50 |
| ActionParsnip | sabrion: cool | 04:50 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, Apparently reports nothing. | 04:50 |
| ActionParsnip | sabrion: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source; gksudo jockey-gtk | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sabrion: you can either use liveCD and install from that, or boot to liveCD and chroot to the installed OS and use the wired network there | 04:52 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, I was using a usb loader. Any difference? | 04:52 |
| q0_0p | out of curiosity /usr/src/linux are the configs already set and made? | 04:52 |

| kolix | Hi, anyone around | 05:07 |
| kolix | ? | 05:07 |
| puffin | me! | 05:07 |
| puffin | What does ibm stand for? | 05:07 |
| kolix | ok i have a quick question | 05:07 |
| kolix | me and my buddy set up an apache web server on ubuntu server 11.04 | 05:08 |
| theadmin | puffin: International Buisness Machines, and that wasn't an Ubuntu question | 05:08 |
| puffin | Okay thanks. | 05:08 |
| kolix | we were able to access the web server from our computers by typing in the machines ip adress in the url toolbar in our browsers. HOWEVER, now I'm at home and my connection times out | 05:08 |
| kolix | do i need to set up some type of DNS server or something we can access our web server outside of the ?LAN? | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: are you using the network's WAN IP | 05:09 |
| Nach0z | kolix: you need to set up port forwarding on the server's router | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: you will alos need to setup port forwarding on the router to allow the traffic through | 05:09 |
| kolix | 192.168.2.2 was the machines IP | 05:09 |
| Nach0z | also you need to know the difference between the network's internal IP address, and the external IP | 05:09 |
| Nach0z | 192.168.2.2 is the internal IP address | 05:10 |
| Nach0z | k/w 38 | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: something like dydns or noip will allow you to access the system via a name | 05:10 |
| Nach0z | ,...whoops. | 05:10 |
| kolix | the machines hostname was webserver2 | 05:10 |
| kolix | ok slow down a bit guys >.> | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: that won't work if you are not on the same network | 05:10 |
| kolix | lol | 05:10 |
| datruth | I have a dual boot and need more space on my ubuntu how can I take the space I need from the windows partition? | 05:10 |
| kolix | the machine is still up now | 05:10 |
| kolix | i'm trying to access it through ssh | 05:10 |
| sabrion | ActionParsnip, happygolucky: restarted, driver is still activated, but not in use. | 05:11 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| ActionParsnip | kolix: you need the WAN IP on the router to connect to, you then make a rule in the router's config to tel it to push connections on port 80 to the server's IP on pot 80 | 05:11 |
| kolix | so i need to first find the routers external ip adress, configure the router for port forwarding and then set a static ip to the apache server? | 05:11 |
| happygolucky | sabrion: did you need to do modprobe b43? | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: then port 22 | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: same method | 05:11 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, *shrug* I did it either way... | 05:11 |
| kolix | how can i find the routers external ip? | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: got it in one :) | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: from the internal network you can visit www.ipchicken.com | 05:12 |
| happygolucky | sabrion: do you have wireless-tools insttalled | 05:12 |
| sabrion | happygolucky: modprobe -r b43 ssb wl then modprobe wl | 05:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: or you can look at the status of the router in the config pages | 05:12 |
| kolix | ActionParsnip, ok. and that will give me the routers ip? | 05:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: yes, you can then access that from ANYWHERE in the world and access your services | 05:12 |
| kolix | if the machine on the LAN is 192.168.2.2, then i edit the router to port forward port 80 to it's ip adress? | 05:13 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, yes. | 05:13 |
| ActionParsnip | kolix: but the router will drop the link due to the nature of NAT, so you tell it that certain connections are ok to let in, and how they are to be managed | 05:13 |
| Hot2Trot | is there some way I can give a command that uses ffmpeg or something that will stitch videos together? ie "ffmpeg vid1.avi vid2.avi vid3.avi final.avi" | 05:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Hot2Trot: you can use: cat vid1 vid2 > result | 05:14 |
| kolix | awesome thanks guy. | 05:14 |
| happygolucky | sabrion: so then can you plug it in and then ifconfig <device> up and then dhclient <device> | 05:14 |
| kolix | btw, another quck question | 05:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Hot2Trot: the audio will be out of sync and there is a command to make it straight again | 05:14 |
| kolix | we were thinking about building some type of beowulf cluster for our server using some old comps. | 05:14 |
| Hot2Trot | ActionParsnip: The CAT command will put videos together and make one new big one? That seems nuts | 05:14 |
| kolix | our web site is going to be doing a lot of live stream video and playing pre-recordered video | 05:14 |
| Hot2Trot | ActionParsnip: bout to test it | 05:14 |
| kolix | would a beowulf have any effect on the speed of the stream or is that just purely connection speed/bandwidth? | 05:15 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, it's a wireless device... nothing to plug up. and ifconfig reports that wl doesn't exist. | 05:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Hot2Trot: or more gracefully: cat *avi | mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o myvideo.avi -cat *avi | mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o myvideo.avi - | 05:15 |
| ActionParsnip | oops | 05:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Hot2Trot: cat *avi | mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o myvideo.avi - | 05:15 |
| ubun1 | if a PCI card (device) is listed with "lspci" does that mean its installed? | 05:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Hot2Trot: will do it in one move :) | 05:15 |
| happygolucky | sabrion: is there a wlan0 device in iwconfig | 05:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ubun1: no, just detected | 05:15 |
| puffin | hello | 05:15 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, no. | 05:16 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, it reports no wireless devices. | 05:16 |
| ubun1 | ActionParsnip: thank you... i guess i have to go find out how to install it | 05:16 |
| happygolucky | sabrion: is this a laptop? did you switch the switch on | 05:16 |
| hylian | can anyone point me in the right direction for dwm? I install it, and then log into it, but all I get is the log in background, and no keys seem to do anything, including the ones that are supposed to log you out... | 05:16 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, yes, and yes. | 05:16 |
| Hot2Trot | ActionParsnip: will that take care of any video formats I have the codecs for, not just avi's? (obiously change the .avi in your command) | 05:17 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, it's a soft switch... so I've been attempting either way... the light is active at least. | 05:17 |
| happygolucky | sabrion: your wireless card .. the odds of it being the same vendor as your ethernet are slim to none | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Hot2Trot: I believe so, Have a search around to verify | 05:17 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, They are both broadcom, the wireless is 4311, the wired is 4415 or something like that. | 05:17 |
| MeirD | Hello | 05:18 |
| puffin | So who's excited for 11.10? | 05:18 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, both ubuntu and the dell website report this to be the case. | 05:18 |
| theadmin | puffin: #ubuntu+1 | 05:18 |
| MeirD | If I use Ubuntu installer downloaded from the website (using an ISO image) and I choose to install Ubuntu instead of the exisiting OS and not alongside it, will it format my computer as well? | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | puffin: already running it here | 05:19 |
| puffin | :O | 05:19 |
| sabrion | MeirD: yes. | 05:19 |
| Hot2Trot | ActionParsnip: You are amazing, thank you for the help, and thank you for the help you've given me before and the help I'm sure you are likely to give me in the future | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | merlot: it can if you want, or it can resize the NTFS partition to make a dual boot | 05:19 |
| MeirD | great, thanks! | 05:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Hot2Trot: maybe the opposite will happen too, makes the world go around | 05:20 |
| Hot2Trot | ActionParsnip: Well, if you ever need help wasting several hours on google looking for complicated solutions to simple problems, I'm your man! :) | 05:20 |

| ubun1 | i found an install but my pc says "gedit" is not a command | 05:22 |

| sabrion | happygolucky, I cannot answer any of those questions, based on the fact that I do not know. | 05:26 |
| happygolucky | ubun1: gedit is a graphical text editor | 05:27 |
| happygolucky | ubun1: use whichever editor you're comfortable in | 05:27 |
| Hot2Trot | ActionParsnip: hmm... I rejoiced a little too soon, I tried the straight 'cat vida.avi vidb.avi > newvid.avi' and 'cat vida.avi vidb.avi | mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o newvid.avi -' and each makes a new file called newvid.avi, but that file is just the first input file not stiched with the second one | 05:27 |
| ubun1 | happygolucky: i guess that LUbuntu doesnt come with this? | 05:27 |
| happygolucky | ubun1: but you should know vi and vim are the defaults usually and it's better to learn those incase you're on a foreign sys | 05:28 |

| aaas | DasEi I guess if you need somthing simple maybe a bit more reliable thats all i can really see | 06:14 |

| DasEi | aaas: nas can be deployed via fstab, if it's always up and might be safer if not reachable through net, and nas might be faster, too | 06:14 |
| DasEi | aaas: a secured samba is another option | 06:15 |
| aaas | DasEi i do wonder if it's faster... compared to samba | 06:15 |
| DasEi | aaas: in my experience the defaults make nas faster, though samba can be tweaked | 06:17 |
| aaas | DasEi yeah im not sure.. probably marginal gains though that don't override the 20 other possible uses/services you can run on a home server | 06:17 |
| DasEi | aaas: as said, depends on purpose, for just a file here and then scp (ssh) does fine | 06:18 |
| sabrion | happygolucky, it requires a tarball to be downloaded from a site.... don't suppose there's a manual way to install that? | 06:18 |
| aaas | DasEi yes there's almost always a reason someone would want something...but in this case there seems to be sooo few reasons | 06:19 |

| ssargennto | I have read that installing xfce alongside unity/gnome will cause for messy menus in xfce.. due to shared programs or something of that nature.. any truth to that? | 06:34 |

| Lasers | ssargennto: Experiment? Use VirtualBox for that. | 06:38 |

| BlackDex | ow | 07:09 |
| BlackDex | sorry | 07:09 |
| stillParsnip | BlackDex: install gman as iceroot suggested... | 07:09 |
| BlackDex | overlooked that | 07:09 |
| BlackDex | :$ | 07:10 |
| iceroot | BlackDex: but i think its a good idea to learn "less" with is the default man-viewer on the shell | 07:10 |
| iceroot | BlackDex: gman less :) | 07:10 |
| iceroot | or gman man :) | 07:10 |
| BlackDex | i know less.. | 07:11 |
| BlackDex | But sometimes it is easer to have a GUI version | 07:11 |
| stillParsnip | BlackDex: using terminal means your abilities will be more portable to other distros | 07:11 |
| BlackDex | most of the time i use cli, but sometimes gui is a bit nicer | 07:11 |

| huseyin | hi | 07:18 |
| huseyin | since this morning i have a problem with xubuntu | 07:18 |
| stillParsnip | natalie: you can look in power options and tell it to never display an icon. The display bit will depend on the video chip used | 07:18 |
| huseyin | all the application borders are gone | 07:19 |
| huseyin | i cannot resize, move, close applications by the buttons on the borders | 07:19 |
| huseyin | i cannot switch workspaces | 07:19 |

| FryderykChopin | hey | 07:19 |
| FryderykChopin | can one install ubuntu on a netbook that doesn't have a cd reader ? | 07:19 |
| huseyin | the number of workspaces were two but goes back to 4 | 07:19 |
| natalie | stillParsnip, i know i can get side by side pretty well with ramdr(???) i think. but i dont want permanent conf in case i do unplug it. is there a tool to manage it better automatically | 07:20 |
| huseyin | i cannot see open windows on the panel | 07:20 |
| stillParsnip | natalie: if its lubuntu, rightclick lxpanel and edit the panel, you can add and remove stuff as you wish | 07:20 |
| huseyin | anyone can give me a hint? | 07:20 |
| eden6000 | FryderykChopin: use usbcreator | 07:20 |
| nicofs | huseyin, might be a stupid thing to say, but did you try to restart? | 07:20 |
| huseyin | a lot of times | 07:20 |
| eden6000 | if you have another pc with ubuntu you can make an usb stick with that utility | 07:21 |
| huseyin | i have also stopped some of the processes that starts with the session | 07:21 |
| eden6000 | then you boot with it and you can install from usb | 07:21 |
| natalie | stillParsnip | 07:21 |
| natalie | lol | 07:21 |
| nicofs | huseyin, from what you say, i'd guess that some of your config is quite screwed up... try #xubuntu, they might help you there... | 07:22 |

| demon002 | natalie, um in one of the rc folders? | 08:07 |
| natalie | AlecTaylor, lookup xrandr. will be similar to xrandr -s 'resolution' | 08:07 |
| KTM640A | could anyone tell me what the person is using on the right side in screenshot? - http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/7509/20080103moparxarchoj0.png | 08:07 |
| KTM640A | i really like the layout colour/font theme | 08:08 |
| natalie | yup. assume iman00b, which i am. i just dont want to end up with a system that wont display | 08:08 |
| demon002 | natalie, each rc folder is a runlevel in ubuntu. Look up how to write scripts that will in the runlevel.. | 08:09 |
| demon002 | um how do I want to say that.. | 08:09 |
| demon002 | I want to call them startup scripts. | 08:09 |

| demon002 | thanks | 08:10 |
| demon002 | brain fart | 08:10 |
| natalie | demon002, i guess thats my question. i think it might be safer to run onlogin rather than on boot, right??? | 08:10 |
| demon002 | I would say yes | 08:10 |
| demon002 | because you can always kill the Xserver | 08:10 |
| demon002 | and you always have the terminal to fallback on | 08:11 |
| KTM640A | http://luv.asn.au/overheads/linux-startup.html | 08:11 |
| demon002 | and if your script fails you can write a new Xorg.conf file | 08:11 |
| overclucker | that's one file i'd rather generate that write | 08:12 |
| demon002 | yeah.. there is a tool that does it automatically. | 08:13 |

| nicofs | AlecTaylor, looks like you need to add that resolution with xrandr... | 08:22 |
| boxbeatsy | hi guys, does anyone know how i can recursively change all files that currently have permissions set to 644 to 664 within a directory? | 08:23 |
| aeplus | chmod -R g+w rootdir | 08:25 |
| boxbeatsy | aeplus: but i only want to change those files that are 644 to 664, not any files that have other permission settings | 08:25 |
| demon002 | i was wondering if chmod had a -R option | 08:25 |
| luite | find . -type f -perm 644 -exec chmod 664 {} \; | 08:25 |
| overclucker | boxbeatsy: find . -type -d -exec chmod 664 {} \; | 08:25 |
| aeplus | holy crap, that is nice | 08:26 |
| luite | I think mine is more correct :p | 08:26 |
| overclucker | ah, use luite's | 08:26 |
| boxbeatsy | sweeet | 08:26 |
| overclucker | luite: you read better | 08:26 |
| boxbeatsy | also, is there a way to make it so that all future files created in this root dir will be set to 664? | 08:27 |
| demon002 | find is annoyingly powerful | 08:27 |
| demon002 | script ? | 08:27 |
| demon002 | attached to a cron job? | 08:27 |
| somsip | demon002: chmod -R, yes. Just lke that | 08:27 |
| overclucker | wow, i just looked at what i wrote, | 08:27 |
| overclucker | complete fail | 08:27 |
| aeplus | chmod 2775 on the directory, and update the default umask value in some file in /etc | 08:28 |
| aeplus | update the default umask to 002 rather than 022 | 08:29 |
| boxbeatsy | ah, awesome. ok thanks a bunch for the help eveyrone | 08:29 |
| demon002 | aeplus has best solution =) | 08:30 |
| aeplus | i'd check if the solution is sound | 08:30 |
| demon002 | the inittab does the umask for entire fs doesnt it o.o? | 08:30 |
| boxbeatsy | i found it in /etc/profile | 08:31 |

| boxbeatsy | umask that is | 08:31 |
| overclucker | that's the right file | 08:31 |
| qwebirc27197 | Hi | 08:32 |
| LurchiderLurch | Hello! Is there a software for ubuntu that can help you in organizing the working hours of different employees e.g. concerning nursing in a hospital station. My language skills are rather bad. Sorry for that. | 08:33 |
| nicofs | Can someone help me get my sound to work again? | 08:34 |
| KTM640A | !sound nicofs | 08:34 |
| demon002 | LuchiderLurch, would a spreadsheet do the job? | 08:34 |
| nicofs | I "just" need to restart alsa, that's all - but nobody can tell me how... | 08:36 |
| demon002 | nicofs do you think disabling the sound hardware and then reenabling it would accomplish this task? | 08:37 |
| nicofs | demon002, i don'T have the slightest idea... in the old days (pre 11.04) "sudo service alsa restart" did the job... | 08:38 |
| nicofs | or something similar... | 08:38 |
| urlin2u | nickals, from google http://knol.google.com/k/william-wynn/how-to-restart-alsa-sound-driver-in/3fegkfxlkmrqb/10 | 08:38 |
| nicofs | urlin2u, that doesn't exist anymore | 08:39 |
| sindile | specifying a static ip address using the networkmanager applet results in not being able to access the internet, but using DHCP i dont have this issue | 08:39 |
| demon002 | nicofs sudo alsa force-reload | 08:39 |
| urlin2u | nicofs, hey you complained. | 08:40 |
| nicofs | demon002, urlin2u alsa force reload works... i'll check if it did the trick... | 08:40 |
| nicofs | it did... thanks! | 08:41 |
| boxbeatsy | hi, prolly something stupid, but even after i set umask to 002 in /etc/profile, default files are still 644 instead of 664. is there another file i need to edit? | 08:41 |
| overclucker | boxbeatsy: restart, maybe? | 08:42 |
| demon002 | nicofs, cool =D found the command here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 08:43 |
| nicofs | demon002, i must admit, i had opened that page at some point... but all i saw was set up, install manually and compile and thought... that's not for me... oO | 08:44 |
| demon002 | nicofs, well it isn't exactly in black and white "Do this to restart also" but generally reload makes the service restart and reread its config file | 08:45 |
| boxbeatsy | overclucker: restart didnt help :\ | 08:45 |
| demon002 | nicofs sorry "Do this to restart Alsa" | 08:45 |
| nicofs | demon002, maybe sometimes it just takes a second person to look at something... | 08:46 |
| boxbeatsy | is there some sort of lower level file permission config that could be overriding /etc/profile's umask configuratioN? | 08:46 |
| demon002 | nicofs, *shrug* Glad i could help =) | 08:46 |
| demon002 | boxbeatsy, um I think yes. Global variables could maybe? | 08:47 |
| nicofs | demon002, i could have just restarted to solve the issue... | 08:47 |
| demon002 | nicofs, I kind of figured that too... considering the force-reload worked =) | 08:47 |
| boxbeatsy | hmm, o wait, does chmod 2775 on my directories overrride umask 002 for some reason? | 08:48 |
| romankrv | Hello. My question is: where is in ubuntu.com file for install ubuntu for netbook. Early it exist in your site. Now I can't see it. | 08:48 |
| bazhang | !une | romankrv | 08:48 |
| ubottu | romankrv: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. | 08:48 |
| nicofs | demon002, but i have a bet on who can run his pc longer without restart... ^^ | 08:48 |
| aeplus | boxbeatsy, did you logout and log back in, or start another terminal session | 08:48 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| romankrv | maybe exist it in archive? | 08:49 |
| boxbeatsy | aeplus: yea, i also rebooted the server | 08:49 |
| demon002 | nicofs, lol My laptop's sound would die randomly, that page helped me I hate rebooting on that slow thing ;) | 08:49 |
| sonido | any lawyer here? | 08:50 |
| OerHeks | romankrv, see the answer from ubottu: it is the same iso as the desktop now. | 08:50 |
| demon002 | romankrv, one second let me see if I can help | 08:50 |
| nicofs | sonido, what branch, which jurisdiction? | 08:50 |
| sonido | nicofs - just want clarification on the language and what it actually means - it's a contract between company and buyer (me) for their goods | 08:51 |
| bazhang | !ot | sonido | 08:51 |
| ubottu | sonido: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 08:52 |
| nicofs | sonido, what made you think, ubuntu is the right channel...? | 08:52 |
| demon002 | um so where did the netbook remox go? | 08:52 |
| demon002 | remix | 08:52 |
| sonido | "seller warrants that at the time of signing this agreement seller neither knows, nor has reason to know, of the existence of any outstanding title or claim of title hostile to the rights of the seller in the goods." | 08:52 |

| sonido | sorry ^^ | 08:52 |
| bazhang | sonido, this is the wrong channel, please do not continue | 08:52 |
| sonido | ubuntu is one the biggest channels so i figured someone might be here | 08:52 |
| Laurenceb_ | is there any way to browse a drive image in ubuntu? | 08:53 |
| iceroot | Laurenceb_: what type of image? dd image? | 08:53 |
| demon002 | could mount it | 08:53 |
| Laurenceb_ | iceroot: yes | 08:53 |
| demon002 | mount -o loop | 08:53 |
| iceroot | Laurenceb_: you should be able to mount it | 08:53 |
| overclucker | it's a little trickier if it's got partitions | 08:53 |
| Laurenceb_ | how? | 08:53 |
| Laurenceb_ | no, its an image of 1 partiton | 08:54 |
| sonido | anyone know of a channel i can join? | 08:54 |
| romankrv | demon002: ok i wait | 08:54 |
| iceroot | sonido: #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:54 |

| demon002 | romankrv I don't see it either. It has dissappeared | 08:54 |
| Laurenceb_ | demon002: so hoe do i use mount? | 08:55 |
| overclucker | netbook remoxhas merged with ubuntu-desktop | 08:55 |
| Laurenceb_ | mount -o image.img? | 08:56 |
| wenk | is there 'rarp' command? | 08:56 |
| demon002 | Laurenceb mount -o loop *.iso | 08:56 |
| demon002 | * being the name of the .iso file | 08:56 |
| Laurenceb_ | its a .img | 08:57 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: what are you trying to mount? | 08:57 |
| Laurenceb_ | image of a partition created with dd | 08:57 |
| demon002 | Why is a partition in IMG format.. | 08:57 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: what kind of img file is it? | 08:57 |
| Laurenceb_ | i dont know | 08:57 |
| jaybutts | thats what she said | 08:57 |
| Laurenceb_ | it was created with dd | 08:57 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: type "file image.img" | 08:57 |
| demon002 | dd oh..but still doesn't explain the .img.. | 08:58 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: what kind of partition was it? is it a dd of a whole disk or just a partition? | 08:58 |
| Laurenceb_ | of a partition | 08:58 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: ok then should be easy | 08:59 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: what file system was on it? | 08:59 |
| Laurenceb_ | it was ext3 | 08:59 |
| boxbeatsy | ooo, it turns out that umask is working for everything except when i upload files via ftp (in which case it's still defaulting to 644 even though i've set /etc/vsftpd.conf with local_umask to 002). any ideas on why that may be? | 08:59 |
| Laurenceb_ | i think the img file is on a fat32 drive | 08:59 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: it is irrelevant what file system the image file is stored on | 09:00 |
| demon002 | did you restart the vsftp? | 09:00 |
| Laurenceb_ | damo22: k | 09:00 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: create a mount point for the image file | 09:00 |
| Fudge | who knows about metapackages and removing the actual real packages, commands needed | 09:00 |
| Laurenceb_ | damo22: how do i do that? | 09:00 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: eg sudo mkdir -p /media/image1 | 09:01 |
| demon002 | boxbeatsy, did you restart the vsftpd? | 09:01 |
| boxbeatsy | doooh im retarded. GOT IT. thanks :) | 09:01 |
| Laurenceb_ | damo22: k | 09:01 |
| Laurenceb_ | now what? | 09:01 |
| bazhang | Fudge, puregnome? purekde what are you trying to achieve | 09:01 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: sudo mount -o loop -t ext3 /path/to/image.img /media/image1 | 09:02 |
| bullgard6 | Wat is the purpose of the program oneconf-service? '~$ ls -al /usr/share/oneconf/oneconf-service; -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4090 2011-08-19 07:26 /usr/share/oneconf/oneconf-service'. | 09:02 |
| demon002 | .. i forgot mount point.. | 09:02 |
| Fudge | bazhang just curious if in ubuntu aptitude is needed to remove the actual packages that a meta package refers to | 09:02 |
| Fudge | or bazhang if apt-get remove does the job, is autoremove needed after etc | 09:03 |
| Laurenceb_ | damo22: mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock | 09:03 |
| bazhang | Fudge, if you clarify exactly what you want to do, I can assist | 09:03 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: hmmmm, try "file /path/to/image.img" | 09:03 |
| Fudge | bazhang the question is in theory, grasping the process of how metapackage removal is handled | 09:04 |
| overclucker | bullgard6: maybe ubuntu one? | 09:04 |
| demon002 | damo22, superblock info would be with the bootloader wouldnt it? | 09:04 |

| demon002 | starch did try to use sudo before the command | 09:06 |
| searching | resolution to small | 09:06 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: type this command: "file /path/to/image.img" | 09:06 |
| searching | and I can`t see nothing | 09:06 |
| starch | yes, my file dissapred but the old one remained.. :s let me retry. | 09:06 |
| Fudge | file exists? | 09:06 |
| starch | yes | 09:06 |
| Laurenceb_ | damo22: no such file or directory | 09:06 |
| starch | sudo mv rc.xml /etc/xdg/openbox | 09:07 |
| starch | correct? | 09:07 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: you need to identify the path to your image file | 09:07 |
| Laurenceb_ | hmm | 09:07 |
| Laurenceb_ | its there... | 09:07 |
| Laurenceb_ | something is wrong here | 09:07 |
| searching | if I put in etc/X11/xorg.conf not working | 09:07 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: you mistyped it | 09:07 |
| demon002 | starch are you in the directory of rc.xml? | 09:07 |
| starch | yep | 09:07 |
| demon002 | try cp | 09:08 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: i have given you the right commands you just need to type the right pathname to your image file in there | 09:08 |
| starch | demon002: that worked, thank you. | 09:09 |
| Laurenceb_ | k, thanks | 09:09 |
| Laurenceb_ | damo22: /media/Buffalo-ext4/Backups/Ubuntu-10-04.img: data | 09:09 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: i have a feeling you dd'd the whole disk | 09:10 |
| demon002 | Laurenceb try this on that file | 09:10 |
| Laurenceb_ | damo22: i dont think so, its the same size as the partiton | 09:10 |
| melvincv | So can we get a stable version of Skype for Natty? | 09:10 |
| Laurenceb_ | and i dd'd from the partiton mount point | 09:10 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: try sudo fdisk -l /media/.......img | 09:11 |
| demon002 | dump2fs /path/to/file | grep superblock | 09:11 |

| Laurenceb_ | damo22: doesn't contain a valid partition table | 09:11 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: can you repeat the dd command you used to dump it | 09:12 |
| damo22 | to this screen | 09:12 |
| Laurenceb_ | damo22: fraid not | 09:12 |
| Laurenceb_ | it was dd from the partiton tho | 09:12 |
| Laurenceb_ | to the img file | 09:12 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: did you dd if=/dev/sda1 .... | 09:13 |
| Laurenceb_ | i think so | 09:13 |
| demon002 | Laurenceb, try this paste output dump2fs /path/to/file | grep superblock | 09:14 |
| Laurenceb_ | where do i get dump2fs from? | 09:14 |
| demon002 | >.> maybe it needs to be mounted for that to work first.. | 09:14 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: hexdump -C /path/to/image.img | head -50 and pastebin it | 09:14 |
| Laurenceb_ | i dont have dump2fs installed yet | 09:14 |
| demon002 | e2fsprogs | 09:15 |

| damo22 | Laurenceb_: are you sure this partition wasnt encrypted | 09:18 |
| Laurenceb_ | yes | 09:18 |
| demon002 | Laurence, if you can find the superblock with the dump2fs you can mount the fs with that Superblock location. | 09:19 |

| Laurenceb_ | damo22: ut ext4 and vfat fails as well | 09:23 |
| demon002 | Laurenceb, try again with the -f flag | 09:23 |

| demon002 | Which version of Ubuntu was the partition from? | 09:25 |
| Laurenceb_ | no luck | 09:25 |
| Laurenceb_ | 10.04LTS | 09:26 |
| demon002 | ext3 then if it was a standard install I believe | 09:26 |
| Laurenceb_ | yeah | 09:26 |
| Laurenceb_ | hmm this is bad | 09:26 |
| demon002 | yeah.. no superblock no mount | 09:26 |
| Laurenceb_ | ill see if i have the files stored anywhere else then i guess | 09:26 |
| shomon | how can I fix a garbled prompt on boot? it gets printed whatever key is typed | 09:27 |
| Laurenceb_ | i screwed up badly and didnt back up a folder in /usr | 09:27 |
| demon002 | shomon did you try a reboot? | 09:27 |
| Laurenceb_ | this is now my only backup i think :( | 09:27 |
| demon002 | Laurenceb, can you maybe try and convert the format of the file with dd? | 09:27 |
| Laurenceb_ | its a load of cad libraries | 09:28 |
| shomon | yes demon | 09:28 |
| shomon | demon002 I mean, it reboots in a few seconds back to the prompt | 09:29 |
| demon002 | shomon ok. which prompt are you talking about? | 09:29 |
| demon002 | ok so the login prompt? | 09:29 |
| shomon | a garbled one in lots of strange chaaracters | 09:29 |

| Laurenceb_ | thanks for the help XD | 09:34 |
| demon002 | shomon, do you have a rescue cd? | 09:34 |
| shomon | no | 09:34 |
| demon002 | Live cd? or Live usb? | 09:34 |
| shomon | not at the moment, but in 20 minutes I will have one I think | 09:35 |
| demon002 | I would pop in the Live cd, mount the fs from the hard drive, copy all the files you need and do a reinstall. | 09:37 |
| demon002 | Sorry, copy all the files you need to a seperate drive. thumb or whatever the case may be | 09:38 |
| demon002 | shomon can you maybe try and flub your way through the login, ya know not really see what your doing and try and see if the rest of the desktop is flubbed or just the login prompt? | 09:39 |
| damo22 | Laurenceb_: what if your original command was dd if=/path/to/directory of=image.img instead of a dev node | 09:42 |

| owner | why ubuntu 11.04 not able to detect any of my mouse, external hard drive? | 09:42 |
| bungholio | okay so i installed openbox and managed to f* it up, how can i /reinstall? | 09:43 |
| bungholio | i've tried sudo apt-get remove openbox then /install but the /etc/xdg/openbox folder is empty.. it doesn't have the menu,startup,rc.xml files :s | 09:44 |
| shomon | thanks demon002 | 09:44 |
| demon002 | shomon could you get through the login? | 09:44 |
| shomon | trying to boot to cd now. | 09:45 |
| demon002 | shomon, did you try to blindly login and see if the desktop itself was flubbed as well? | 09:45 |
| bungholio | /join #openbox | 09:45 |
| bungholio | oops | 09:45 |
| shomon | well I tried, but really it doesn't look like x is loaded. that prompt appears before aanything. | 09:46 |
| demon002 | shomon, did you try to delete the xorg.conf file? | 09:46 |
| shomon | I even set it to boot from cd and still the prompt comes up | 09:46 |
| demon002 | shomon, the boot order is done through the bios, and it is loaded before Ubuntu, so no matter what you should be able to boot from cd. | 09:47 |
| demon002 | your laoptop should have a boot menu | 09:47 |

| bungholio | iceroot: okay, tried that and did sudo apt-get install openbox afterwords and created folder once again and no files inside.. what the flip | 10:10 |
| iceroot | owner: one problem can be that the system cant read the temp correctly and because of that its adjusting the fan incorrect. a good start is to install lm-sensors, then run sudo sensors-detect and then "sensors" will give you infos about fan speed, cpu temp and so on | 10:10 |
| iceroot | bungholio: what files? | 10:11 |

| iceroot | dttus: there is no 2.6.39 on ubuntu | 11:05 |
| nate_ | and how do exit terminal for 11.04 | 11:06 |
| iceroot | dttus: not in the official repos | 11:06 |
| reki | exit | 11:06 |
| nate_ | doesnt work | 11:06 |
| reki | not sure for 11.04 though | 11:06 |
| reki | wait | 11:06 |
| iceroot | dttus: 2.6.38 = 11.04 3.0 (2.6.40) = 11.10 | 11:06 |

| Demon002 | nate_ exit works for me | 11:07 |
| iceroot | nate_: to leave tty press ctrl + alt + f7 | 11:07 |
| iceroot | nate_: to leave a terminal, type "exit" | 11:07 |
| dttus | @ iceroot: at least is what i can see in /usr/src; i've been manually installing/updating stuff: so i messed up? | 11:07 |
| iceroot | dttus: just install the correct headers for your kernel | 11:07 |
| iceroot | dttus: best is to use the kernel-metapackage from the repos | 11:08 |
| nate_ | I hit Ctrl+alt F2 is how I enter if that helps | 11:08 |
| Demon002 | linux-source do it iceroot? | 11:08 |
| Demon002 | nate_ iceroot told you hit alt +f7 | 11:08 |
| nate_ | thanks i try | 11:09 |
| iceroot | nate_: ctrl + alt + f7 to switch back to the gui | 11:09 |
| dttus | @iceroot: did uname -r ---- got 2.6.39.4, thought i thought i had to install a matching kernel headers version | 11:09 |
| nate_ | got it | 11:09 |
| reki | try uname -a | 11:09 |
| iceroot | dttus: kernel.org (or where you download the kernel) there you also find the headers | 11:09 |
| dttus | i was trying to install some patched drivers for my card | 11:09 |
| Demon002 | insmod? | 11:09 |
| Migi32 | hi. Not sure if I should ask here or in #eclipse, but when I take a screenshot with "import -window root", Eclipse is always invisible in that screenshot | 11:10 |
| nate_ | on 11.04 the animation leaf spread in compiz is missing | 11:10 |
| Demon002 | dttus, it can be done with insmod | 11:10 |
| owner | iceroot/Demon002: There is any hope? i am holding now my work. | 11:10 |
| nate_ | demon002 you talking to me | 11:11 |
| Demon002 | nate_ I'm still looking | 11:11 |
| nate_ | anybody can help get leaf spread for 11.04 animations | 11:12 |
| nate_ | its MIA | 11:13 |
| glebihan | nate_, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-995174.html | 11:14 |
| dttus | @Demon002: so insmod will unistall my current headers and install the correct ones? | 11:14 |
| Demon002 | dttus no, it would install the needed drivers provided you have them | 11:15 |
| dttus | ok thanks | 11:16 |
| Demon002 | dttus, I was merely stating that there was not a need to compile a new kernal, you can add the functionality with insmod. | 11:16 |
| nate_ | that info is out of date | 11:16 |
| nate_ | I dont have any animation add-ons | 11:17 |
| Kingsy | anyone know why my vnc would be crashing randomly? this is the log file of a crashed vnc instance --> http://pastebin.com/NSFHcnV8 <---- any ideas would be welcoem | 11:17 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy, don't know why but it looks like something is tieing up something VNC needs on :1 display | 11:19 |
| Demon002 | so your second monitor? | 11:19 |
| Demon002 | or maybe :1 is the vnc display adapter? | 11:19 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: well I do have a second monitor but its not turned on.. | 11:19 |
| nate_ | how do you configure leaf spread animie for 11.04 | 11:20 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: can you launch the vnc instance to whatever screen you want? | 11:20 |
| panda_ | hi | 11:20 |
| Kingsy | so :5 would eliminate that issue ? | 11:20 |

| panda_ | and I'm having trouble getting my audio device working | 11:20 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: no problem, thanks | 11:21 |
| panda_ | the speakers are connected and working | 11:21 |
| IdleOne | !sound | panda_ | 11:21 |
| ubottu | panda_: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

| bazhang | nate_, ask in #compiz | 11:21 |
| radisav | a blank screen | 11:21 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy but like i saw saying i don't know if :1 is your second display or it is your vnc? Vnc may be trying to use your second monitor as its display adapter and it could be saying.. that it is in use. | 11:21 |

| Demon002 | kingsy but* | 11:22 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy, the more I look the more it appears that something that the X server has assigned as :1 ( your default display being 0) is needed by VNC | 11:24 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy, to test this try and rename your Xorg.conf and remove the second monitor and run the config script for X server and see if VNC will run then | 11:24 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: yeah changing it to :5 breaks it, your unable to connect | 11:25 |
| Demon002 | yeah because it is looking for screen 5 | 11:25 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: hmm I am not sure what you mean about that test.. | 11:25 |
| Demon002 | ok, vnc needs a "head" to attach to. | 11:26 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: ok sure, have in mind tho, that vnc IS running.. but its crashing randomly (on :1) | 11:26 |
| Demon002 | ok, so try it on 0:0 | 11:26 |
| Demon002 | or is it 0.. i don't remember the syntax | 11:27 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: yeah its :0 umm it says .. A VNC server is already running as :0 | 11:28 |
| Kingsy | weird | 11:28 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy then either connect to that vnc thats running | 11:28 |
| panda_ | IdleOne, I've checked out both community pages | 11:28 |
| Demon002 | VNC has a command to display current running VNC | 11:28 |
| Kingsy | ps aux | grep "vnc" just shows chris 6876 0.0 0.0 13128 1052 pts/0 S+ 12:28 0:00 grep --color=auto vnc | 11:28 |
| Demon002 | or | 11:28 |
| Demon002 | Kill it | 11:28 |
| panda_ | everything seems tickity boo, but I still can't hear anything | 11:28 |
| Demon002 | nah vnc itself | 11:28 |
| Demon002 | the vnc command has options for showing its screens | 11:29 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: nope you cant connect to :0 it doesnt respond | 11:29 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: umm let me try and kill :0 wiht vncserver | 11:29 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy yeah was just going to suggest that | 11:29 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: You'll have to kill the Xtightvnc process manually | 11:30 |
| Kingsy | ** Can't find file /home/chris/.vnc/mars:0.pid | 11:30 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: how can I kill the process manually if I cant find it in ps aux ? | 11:31 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy you shouldn't have to kill the process, you should be able to kill the display.. | 11:31 |
| Demon002 | is it showing up in Top? | 11:31 |
| Kingsy | yeah.. when I try vncserver -kill :0 it says | 11:31 |
| Kingsy | Can't find file /home/chris/.vnc/mars:0.pid You'll have to kill the Xtightvnc process manually | 11:31 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: what do you mean? iotop ? | 11:31 |
| Demon002 | ok see if you can find the process in top | 11:32 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy nah, just $top | 11:32 |
| Kingsy | got ya 1 sec | 11:33 |
| damo22 | demon002: i have no idea what that other guy did earlier with that dd of a partition.... he must have made a mistake | 11:33 |
| dttus | i don't understand: aptitude tells me linux-source-2.6.39.4 is installed, but on the usr/src directory i see the folder linux-source-2.6.38 and the archive linux-source-2.6.39.4.tar.bz2, so which is really installed? | 11:33 |
| Demon002 | damo22, i don't know lol, the lack of superblock stumped me | 11:33 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: got this output --> http://pastie.org/2459458 <-- I cant see vnc anywhere | 11:34 |
| Kingsy | so I am kinda stumpted | 11:34 |
| damo22 | demon002:i reckon he didnt dump the partition at all, he probably dumped a file | 11:34 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy, um I believe this calls for an old fashion reboot | 11:34 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: k 1 sec | 11:34 |
| jnsl_ | my friend is on mac... anyone know what ps -aux there is called | 11:34 |
| sipior | jnsl_: "ps aux" :-) | 11:35 |
| theadmin | jnsl_: Not related, but yeah, "ps aux" | 11:35 |
| jnsl_ | ok cool :) | 11:35 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: but what are we looking to do after reboot? start the vnc server on :0 ? | 11:35 |
| theadmin | jnsl_: Macs are UNIX, after all, BSD specifically | 11:35 |
| Demon002 | damo22, that would be the the most logical assumption | 11:35 |
| jnsl_ | thanks got quick replies :)) | 11:35 |
| jnsl_ | for* | 11:35 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy, we are looking to start the vnc server on a unused display mate | 11:35 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: yeah.. fair beans | 11:36 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy, obviously for whatever reason :1 is a no go | 11:36 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: ok I am rebooted.. what should I try and start the vnc on? | 11:36 |
| Demon002 | Well, could you give me the package name for your vnc, so I can find the correct flags etc. I'm flyin blind | 11:36 |
| panda_ | is anyone available to help me with a sound issue? | 11:37 |
| damo22 | panda_: ask | 11:37 |
| theadmin | panda_: Don't ask to ask, ask. | 11:37 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: Xtightvnc | 11:37 |
| Thelmaria | I've got two harddrives, installed on A. I partitioned B using LVM, and copied / from A->B, then updated /etc/fstab to point to the mounts on B. Is there anything else I should do to ensure I'm still bootable? | 11:37 |
| Demon002 | thanks | 11:37 |
| panda_ | I have a HD Soundcard, speakers work fine and they're plugged in | 11:37 |
| panda_ | I've checked out community pages | 11:37 |
| ramba | hi guys i am confused.. if i add a user to the sudoers file, what can he do | 11:37 |
| theadmin | Thelmaria: /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 11:38 |
| panda_ | however, I can't get any playback | 11:38 |
| damo22 | panda_: what kind of sound card is it | 11:38 |
| Demon002 | Xtight vnc is the viewer right? | 11:38 |
| Demon002 | Whatcha using as the server? | 11:38 |
| damo22 | panda_: is it usb, pci, or what | 11:38 |
| gayassd | hi everybody | 11:38 |
| panda_ | pci | 11:38 |
| panda_ | it's part of the motherboard | 11:38 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: no thats the server.. umm the process name | 11:39 |
| ramba | hi guys i am confused.. if i add a user to the sudoers file, what can he do | 11:39 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy what server are you using | 11:39 |
| damo22 | panda_: okay... try alsamixer and unmute your sound device | 11:39 |
| Demon002 | Xtightvnc is a viewer, not a server from what the Ubuntu software center says. | 11:39 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: I start it with vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565 -httpport 5901 as an example... | 11:39 |
| theadmin | ramba: Depends on what you specify | 11:39 |
| ramba | theadmin: im really lost lols | 11:39 |
| Demon002 | OK, your server would be the issue then. | 11:40 |
| ramba | i want the user to be able to use sudo for his own account | 11:40 |
| ramba | but he cant interfere with others | 11:40 |
| theadmin | ramba: Don't touch it, then. Just add the user to the "admin" group | 11:40 |
| ramba | alright so he can log in via sudo too? | 11:40 |
| theadmin | ramba: And um... I don't think I quite understand | 11:40 |
| Demon002 | kingsy the server should most likely be started on :0 . All hardware goes from 0 up not 1 | 11:40 |
| Demon002 | um : 1 | 11:40 |
| ramba | theadmin: i want the user to be able to use limited sudo commamnds if the helps | 11:40 |
| Demon002 | sorry | 11:40 |
| Accidus | I wish to erase my 10.10 installation and install 11.04, but keep my current home directory, which is on a different partition. In the installation CD, should I choose "erase ubuntu 10.10 and reinstall" or "Something else"? In the latter case, how should I proceed? | 11:40 |
| panda_ | damo22, install ALSA Mixer? | 11:40 |
| === dvz-_ is now known as dvz- | ||
| Demon002 | Kingsy it should be started on : 0 | 11:41 |
| damo22 | panda_: open a console terminal and run "alsamixer" | 11:41 |
| panda_ | damo22, or just check out Sound Settings in System Preferences.. | 11:41 |
| panda_ | okj | 11:41 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: hmmm not sure how to fix that then | 11:41 |
| damo22 | panda_: do you get all these coloured bars? | 11:41 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy VNC has a config file I would assume. | 11:41 |
| panda_ | damo22, yeap | 11:42 |
| panda_ | except for Line and Rear Mic | 11:42 |
| dttus | hi, aptitude tells me linux-source-2.6.39.4 is installed, but on the usr/src directory i see the folder linux-source-2.6.38 and the archive linux-source-2.6.39.4.tar.bz2. I checked and there are no broken packages, so which is really installed? | 11:42 |
| theadmin | ramba: Well, "username ALL=(ALL) command1, command2, command3" in Sudoers will allow "username" to run command1, command2 and command3 with sudo only | 11:42 |
| panda_ | damo22, and Front Mic | 11:42 |
| ramba | theadmin: ok thx | 11:42 |
| damo22 | panda_: okay which port are you plugging the speakers in | 11:42 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy , so you have Xtightvnc for the viewer and Tightvnc for the server then? | 11:42 |
| damo22 | panda_: rear jacks or front panel? | 11:42 |
| ramba | theadmin: wait so if he trys to log in as sudo, what password does he enter ? | 11:42 |
| panda_ | damo22, rear jacks | 11:42 |
| Thelmaria | theadmin: Oh, cheers. | 11:42 |
| theadmin | ramba: His own | 11:43 |
| ramba | ok | 11:43 |
| theadmin | Thelmaria: No problem | 11:43 |
| damo22 | panda_: then you need to go to the PCM thingy and press 'm' for mute/unmute | 11:43 |
| damo22 | make sure everything you need is unmuted | 11:43 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: it was my assumption that I was using xtightvnc as the server.. and the viewer was xvnv4vewier | 11:43 |
| Kingsy | xvnc4viewer | 11:43 |
| panda_ | damo22, is there a display to say that it is unmuted? | 11:44 |
| theadmin | ramba: Make sure to use "visudo" to edit the sudoers file | 11:44 |
| damo22 | panda_: try it, you should see it change colour at the bottom | 11:44 |
| chazza_ | you had your earphones done yet? | 11:44 |
| ramba | alrite | 11:44 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy Well the command for Tightvncserver is vncserver so.. XTightVNC is a viewer. If I was trying to connect to tightvnc server I would probably try and pick up that viewer... just seems like a good practice. | 11:45 |
| panda_ | damo22, all are unmuted, but PCM does not have a [00] box underneath | 11:45 |
| panda_ | all the others do | 11:45 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: well for example.. when I start a vnc server.. 1 sec let me do it | 11:45 |
| Demon002 | Kingsy do you want a shared desktop or not? | 11:45 |
| damo22 | panda_: im not sure if thats an issue or not... probably not | 11:45 |
| panda_ | ok | 11:46 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: the ps aux returns chris 2270 0.6 0.2 24712 8956 pts/1 S 12:45 0:00 Xtightvnc :1 -desktop X -auth /home/chris/.Xauthority -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth /home/chris/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -fp /us | 11:46 |

| Demon002 | ok do this | 11:46 |
| ramba | root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALLunam ALL=(ALL:ALL) apt-get | 11:47 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: it really doesnt matter if its a shared desktop or not.. whatever is easier | 11:47 |

| theadmin | ramba: And what on earth is that? | 11:47 |
| ramba | unam ALL=(ALL:ALL) apt-get | 11:47 |
| ramba | fixed | 11:47 |
| ramba | i have that in visudo | 11:47 |
| damo22 | panda_: you sure you plugged speakers in the right port? | 11:47 |
| panda_ | 100% | 11:47 |
| theadmin | ramba: That doesn't sound right, should be more like: unam ALL=(ALL) /usr/bin/apt-get | 11:47 |

| Kingsy | Demon002: ^^ | 11:54 |
| damo22 | panda_: try this command from a SECOND terminal | 11:54 |

| robinduckett | Sidewinder1: I have tried, but the performance I get whilst trying dual monitors is shocking | 11:54 |
| Sidewinder1 | :-( | 11:54 |
| damo22 | panda_: do you know the path to your wav file | 11:54 |
| robinduckett | unplug one monitor, amazing, plug the second one in, getting maybe 5% of the speed of before | 11:54 |
| Kingsy | Demon002: ok so I don't have a vncserver running at the moment cos I have just killed :1 | 11:54 |
| panda_ | damo22, I can get it | 11:54 |

| dttys | hi, i have linux-source-2.6.39.4 installed so why do i have a folder linux-source-2.6.38, on the usr/src directory, as well as the archive linux-source-2.6.39.4.tar.bz2 archive (i told aptitude to clean package cache) | 12:00 |
| FloodBot1 | robinduckett: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:00 |
| robinduckett | FloodBot1: You are fined one credit for the violation of the verbal morality statute. Have a joy joy day. | 12:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | panda_, This will sound totally off the wall but, when I first installed Gutsy in 2007, sound was working fine in XP; I got so frustrated trying to fix sound that I started "playing" as song in gutsy, and started switching speaker plugs in the jacks. Guess what, it worked! The really surprising aspect is that sound also worked in the new plug configuration. Go figure. | 12:01 |
| theadmin | dttys: /usr/src is not related to the package cache, it is from another installed package, likely linux-source-2.6.38 | 12:01 |
| damo22 | check the jacks plugged in before you panic about software issues | 12:01 |
| panda_ | well, now I know ;) | 12:01 |
| damo22 | lmfao | 12:01 |
| Sidewinder1 | *Sound also worked in XP, in new... | 12:02 |
| dttys | so i should just let be that folder and archive? | 12:02 |
| robinduckett | Sidewinder1: I had an old laptop that would detect if there was input coming from the jack, if there was it would assume you plugged in a mic, regardless of what hole you put it in | 12:02 |
| damo22 | haha | 12:02 |
| robinduckett | no input and it would assume a speaker or headphones | 12:02 |
| robinduckett | but that was hardware driven, not software | 12:02 |
| damo22 | man that sucks | 12:02 |
| dttys | theadmin: so i can just let be that folder and archive? | 12:03 |
| Sidewinder1 | robinduckett, What's interesting is that it still works in both OSs, and I've upgraded several times -->Gutsy-->Hardy--> Lucid. | 12:03 |
| robinduckett | yeah, espescially since they probably paid good money getting the side of the laptop painted with the headphone / mic icons, and yet it didn't actually matter which harp darp hole they went in | 12:04 |
| robinduckett | Sidewinder1: reinstalls or upgrads? | 12:04 |
| robinduckett | *upgrades | 12:04 |
| Sidewinder1 | robinduckett, Believe it or not, upgrades. | 12:04 |
| damo22 | i hate cheapo sound cards that use mono for mic and stereo for headphones | 12:04 |
| robinduckett | Sidewinder1: crazy bastard | 12:04 |
| Sidewinder1 | From Synaptic. | 12:04 |
| Sidewinder1 | I know! :-) | 12:05 |
| BluesKaj | Hi folks | 12:05 |
| robinduckett | man i need to do something about this damn ATI card not performing well on two monitors | 12:05 |
| damo22 | and then you buy a cheapo headset with stereo onboth jacks and it doesnt work correctly | 12:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | Hiya Blue! | 12:05 |
| robinduckett | other than binning the POS graphics card | 12:06 |
| robinduckett | brb | 12:06 |
| BluesKaj | hey Sidewinder1 | 12:06 |
| damo22 | robinduckett: buy a cheapo nvidia card with full support | 12:06 |
| love4linux | hello, I have a laptop with one disk and ubuntu installed and today I partitioned it and install win7 and of course the boot loader is gone. How can I reinstall it? | 12:07 |
| nbubuntu | hi anyone know how to use command line to change mouse orientation setting from left to right ? | 12:07 |
| nbubuntu | thank you | 12:07 |
| damo22 | love4linux: depends on the partitioning | 12:07 |
| nbubuntu | hi anyone know how to use command line to change mouse orientation setting from left to right ? using ubuntu 10.10 . Thank you | 12:07 |
| damo22 | love4linux: how did you partition the drive? | 12:08 |
| love4linux | damo22 I used a live cd with gparted | 12:08 |

| Stanley00 | love4linux: you can use an ubuntu liveCD and reinstall grub | 12:08 |
| damo22 | love4linux: is it a MBR based or GPT based partition table? | 12:09 |
| love4linux | Stanley00 i am using the live cd now | 12:09 |
| ktwohig9 | Hi folks, any ideas on this?: Sony VPCF115FM/B - Dual booted to Ubuntu 11.04. Everything works except sound via HDMI on my TV/Monitor | 12:09 |
| love4linux | damo22 I guess is an MBR. i never heard the other name | 12:09 |
| damo22 | love4linux: boot off the livecd and we can investigate | 12:10 |
| love4linux | /dev/sda1 , sd2 and so on | 12:10 |
| damo22 | love4linux: but dont reinstall just run it in live mode | 12:10 |
| === Logan_ is now known as Guest81227 | ||
| love4linux | damo22 okay now as we speak I am using the live cd | 12:10 |

| love4linux | I ran the installation wizard and I come up to the point of installation | 12:11 |
| Stanley00 | love4linux: can you show me output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 12:11 |
| damo22 | l4l: open a console terminal | 12:11 |
| robinduckett | hmm | 12:12 |
| robinduckett | which is better, single display desktop stretched over two monitors, or single display desktop PER monitor? | 12:12 |
| robinduckett | with xinerama | 12:12 |
| geirha | nbubuntu: gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/left_handed true | 12:12 |

| robinduckett | damo22: sure but with xinerama i can just push windows to the other side | 12:13 |
| Stanley00 | love4linux: I think your ubuntu is install in /dev/sda1, is this correct? | 12:13 |
| jaybutts | 3 monitors is essential | 12:14 |
| robinduckett | damo22: I'm talking performance wise | 12:14 |
| love4linux | Stanley00 yeap | 12:14 |
| Stanley00 | now, first mount /dev/sda1 to somewhere (ex : /mnt) with "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" | 12:14 |

| love4linux | voxcroix just 2.. ubuntu 11.04 and win7 ult | 12:36 |
| love4linux | how do I find out the version of my grub? | 12:39 |
| damo22 | love4linux: i know another way to do this, you can boot off the livecd, chroot into your install, mount -o bind the /dev directory onto the chroot and then run update-grub on the actual install | 12:39 |

| gammons | Hi, quick question, I wanted to edit a wiki page. I'm logged in, but I don't see any edit controls, or an edit button. Am I doing something wrong here? | 14:13 |
| coz_ | rabbi1, not sure about the scanning,, however compiz config can get corrupted easilty I have not figured this out completely yet,, so if it happens again do the same procedure to see if it fixes... if not you can meet me in #compiz | 14:14 |
| rabbi1 | coz_: ok, got that, i got static application switcher as well, here i guess i get the conflict. best suggestion here ? | 14:14 |
| gaelfx | edbian: to be honest, I'm setting up an Arch system, but the people over there keep telling me to learn vim instead of answering my qquestions | 14:14 |
| edbian | gaelfx: Don't learn vim, use nano | 14:14 |
| coz_ | rabbi1, if a conflict dialog appears always resolve it,, or change switchers ,, | 14:14 |
| jrib | waza-ari: command substitution example: echo $(echo foo | sed 's/foo/bar/') | 14:14 |
| Younder | Fudge, it's in /etc/secururity/limits.d sorry | 14:15 |
| coz_ | rabbi1, but again , if a conflict dialog pops up always resolve it | 14:15 |
| coz_ | rabbi1, unless you are on Unity and want the cube then you would ignore the conflict when enabling cube | 14:15 |
| razer_aj1 | Anyone know how to make the Ubuntu remote desktop service accessible over the internet? | 14:15 |
| gaelfx | edbian: exactly my feeling | 14:16 |
| edbian | razer_aj1: on your router forward port 5900 to the IP address of the desktop in question. Then when you connect use your public IP | 14:16 |
| waza-ari | jrib: perfect! Works perfectly, thank you :) | 14:16 |
| edbian | gaelfx: That was are the questions? | 14:16 |
| gaelfx | edbian: MUCH more straightforward | 14:16 |
| edbian | gaelfx: What is the question then? :) | 14:17 |
| razer_aj1 | edbian: thanks | 14:17 |
| gaelfx | edbian: I was wondering if I could copy one line from a file to another file using only nano | 14:17 |
| edbian | razer_aj1: sure | 14:17 |
| edbian | gaelfx: I'm sure you can. I don't know how | 14:17 |
| gaelfx | edbian: yeah, that's why I ended up using sed | 14:17 |
| gaelfx | edbian: which was actually pretty simple, and then I cut the line to where I wanted it | 14:17 |

| Thelmaria | !ask | TehAndrewRyan | 14:21 |
| ubottu | TehAndrewRyan: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 14:21 |
| waza-ari | TehAndrewRyan: just ask, if anyone can help you, he/she will :) | 14:21 |
| jrib | gaelfx: the multibuffer stuff I linked you to earlier allows you to copy/paste to different files in nano (I just tried) | 14:21 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Okay, first thing; On boot, the screen stays either black or purple until i press enter, and then it starts to boot ubuntu | 14:21 |
| phschwartz | Is there a ubuntu development channel? I think for my issue I need help from a few people that are package maintinaers? | 14:21 |
| gaelfx | jrib: thanks, I'll look at that as soon as I get some other stuff finished :D | 14:22 |
| jrib | phschwartz: whatis your issue? | 14:22 |
| Younder | TehAndrewRyan, OK you are stuck in grub | 14:22 |
| gaelfx | jrib: but honestly, the sed thing was pure gold, imo, more useful in more situations | 14:22 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: Yes | 14:22 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: I can proceed, but it requires me to press enter (after choosing to load ubuntu) | 14:22 |
| SomeoneWeird | Hey guys; I've got a problem with permissions, when im running the update manager and stuff, it always asks for the password for 'root', not 'someoneweird' so im always getting password denied, i can do it with apt and dpkg etc. but gui is easier. Anyone know a fix? | 14:23 |

| phschwartz | I am building a deb with a dependency on a few differnet packages. Other packages I have worked with if they are not fully installed due to dep issues they go to an unresolved state but dont install. This current package sees the dep issue but installs completely anyways leaving it in an iU state, but all files are installed and set as if it is fully installed. | 14:23 |
| waza-ari | TehAndrewRyan: what happens if you wait ~30s, does the system boot then? | 14:24 |
| TehAndrewRyan | waza-ari: I'm pretty sure I tried it before, nothing happened | 14:24 |
| TehAndrewRyan | waza-ari: plus I don't wanna wait 30 seconds to load ubuntu, which boots in about 8 seconds | 14:24 |
| Younder | TehAndrewRyan, You need to set different options to grub in /boot/grub | 14:24 |
| jrib | phschwartz: not sure what your question is and you are being too vague | 14:25 |
| waza-ari | TehAndrewRyan: shure, just wanted to make sure its the Grup "countdown" youre stuck | 14:25 |
| mikesandy | HI | 14:25 |
| mikesandy | new in her | 14:25 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: sudo gedit /boot/grub/?? | 14:25 |
| D3loced | Hey there whats up? | 14:25 |
| waza-ari | TehAndrewRyan: no, /boot/grup is a directory | 14:25 |
| mikesandy | cool u? | 14:25 |
| TehAndrewRyan | waza-ari: Yes I know | 14:25 |
| Younder | TehAndrewRyan, grub-mkconfig should be used in this version | 14:25 |
| TehAndrewRyan | waza-ari: What file should I edit? | 14:26 |
| phschwartz | jrib: question is why would the package fully install when it is in a dependency conflicted state when others will not. | 14:26 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: OK | 14:26 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: It's empty | 14:26 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: There's a file called grub.cfg though | 14:26 |
| gaelfx | zykotick9: is there any way to make that ignore setting persist? | 14:26 |
| zykotick9 | gaelfx, sorry I have no idea, i'm not a fan of irssi | 14:27 |
| gaelfx | zykotick9: fair enough, thanks anywho | 14:27 |
| SomeoneWeird | Anyone have a solution for me? :S | 14:27 |
| koegs | ignores = ( { level = "JOINS QUITS NICKS PARTS"; } ); <- put that in your config | 14:27 |
| koegs | or just say /save | 14:27 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: Okay I'm inside grub.cfg (which I believe is the config?) so what do I have to edit? | 14:27 |
| zykotick9 | gaelfx, koegs FTW ;) | 14:28 |
| Thelmaria | SomeoneWeird: You could set the root password, which would probably fix it | 14:28 |
| SomeoneWeird | Thelmaria, hrmmm right, thx P | 14:28 |
| SomeoneWeird | :P* | 14:28 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: And just to clear things up, I'm dual-booting with win 7, and it's not the actual GRUB-menu which I get stuck at | 14:29 |
| dmtarmey | g0rby hello i am running flash 10 | 14:29 |
| gaelfx | SomeoneWeird: there's something stuck to your tongue | 14:29 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: The screen remains black/purple AFTER I've chose to start Ubuntu (then I have to press again) | 14:29 |
| Thelmaria | SomeoneWeird: Are you using gnome? | 14:29 |
| SomeoneWeird | yes Thelmaria | 14:29 |
| rymate1234 | Hai, can I ask something? | 14:29 |
| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | TehAndrewRyan | 14:30 |
| ubottu | TehAndrewRyan: 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 | 14:30 |
| Younder | TehAndrewRyan, Ok grub is the second loader | 14:30 |
| rymate1234 | Ok, I use xubuntu, and I would like to know if it was possible to have a second screen showing a seperate workspace | 14:30 |
| rymate1234 | if so, how would I switch between them? | 14:30 |
| Younder | rymate1234, it is | 14:31 |
| rymate1234 | Younder, How would i do it then :P | 14:31 |
| CoverSlide | you don't | 14:31 |
| Thelmaria | SomeoneWeird: Fair enough - my update manager asks for my password, not roots, but I'm in KDE - was trying to replicate your issue. | 14:31 |
| CoverSlide | sorry I don't know what the question is | 14:32 |
| Younder | rymate1234, ALT-CRTL-F8 gives you standard so try ALT-CTRL-F9 | 14:32 |
| Younder | Thelmaria, Ubunto desn't do root. it uses a sudo database | 14:32 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: According to my config it's already set to "quiet splash" | 14:33 |
| TehAndrewRyan | Younder: Oh, never mind | 14:33 |
| Younder | Thelmaria, That is the root passwd is not set effectively disabling it | 14:33 |
| Thelmaria | Younder: I know that - but I got asked today for root password to update / run something, so I don't believe all the GUI's work off sudo. Don't ask what it was, though. | 14:33 |

| thunder1212 | hi, does ubuntu provide full support for intel sandy bridge processor(i recently got core i3 dell vostro..), the battery back up seems to be quiet poor | 15:02 |
| stephenthemartyr | it asks for a program to open them?? | 15:02 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: what ubuntu version is this? | 15:02 |
| stephenthemartyr | 10.4 | 15:02 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: open it with archive manager | 15:03 |

| compdoc | thunder1212, what features of the i3 does it not seem to support? I have 11.04 running on an i3 2100T | 15:03 |
| stephenthemartyr | where is the archive manager in the file system? | 15:03 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: /usr/bin/file-roller | 15:04 |
| thunder1212 | the graphics is running without any visual effects (it has intel sandy bridge integrated graphics) | 15:04 |
| thunder1212 | compdoc: it came preloaded with ubuntu 10.10 | 15:04 |
| stephenthemartyr | nope | 15:04 |
| compdoc | thunder1212, newer versions always have expanded drivers and hardware support | 15:05 |
| shadow98 | jrib, that worked thanks so much | 15:07 |
| thunder1212 | compdoc: lets suppose that i upgrade to 11.04, and the graphics issue is solved which i assume will most probably be the case bcoz i tried live fedora 15 cd it was working fine.. but what about the battery back up issue.. | 15:07 |
| === hacked is now known as vinces | ||
| compdoc | thunder1212, by 'battery back up' do you mean a UPS? | 15:08 |
| thunder1212 | oh no he laptop battery backup i purchased dell vostro 1450.. and gives i think approx 2 hrs back up only | 15:09 |
| stephenthemartyr | ok if i cd into the tmp file where the tar.bz2 file is what command unpacks them? | 15:10 |

| RadoS | Moin. With default install of 10.04.02 you get a system summary when you login. I tried a minimal install, now this summary is missing, but I have no clue which packages contains this summary. Any idea how to figure this out? | 15:12 |
| stephenthemartyr | why does the archive manager say "cannot read file" when i downloada .rar files?? | 15:13 |
| jrib | RadoS: probably update-motd | 15:13 |
| thunder1212 | compdoc: ?? | 15:13 |
| jrib | !rar | stephenthemartyr | 15:13 |
| ubottu | stephenthemartyr: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 15:13 |

| auronandace | !rar | stephenthemartyr | 15:14 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: why did you say "nope" earlier | 15:14 |
| RadoS | jrib, no, not installed by default. | 15:14 |
| stephenthemartyr | cuz it didnt work i couldntr unpack the tar.bz2 file either | 15:14 |
| jrib | RadoS: yes it is | 15:14 |
| thunder1212 | compdoc: no no ... latop battery | 15:14 |
| stephenthemartyr | im confused | 15:14 |
| RadoS | jrib, I checked on the default installed system where the summary works, but the update-motd is not installed. | 15:15 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: what does "file /path/to/your/tar.bz2" return? | 15:15 |
| stephenthemartyr | im newb so the/to is what?and the/your is what? | 15:15 |
| kingofswords | hi i have 4gb ram and only 800meg is being used....is there any reason why my swap memory is starting to be used? | 15:15 |
| jrib | RadoS: did you see the package description for update-motd package? | 15:15 |
| compdoc | thunder1212, do you mean the battery is running down faster? | 15:16 |
| jrib | !who | stephenthemartyr | 15:16 |
| ubottu | stephenthemartyr: 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 :) | 15:16 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: in a terminal type the word "file" followed by the path to the tar.bz2 file | 15:16 |
| stephenthemartyr | jrib: what is the "path" | 15:17 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: location | 15:17 |
| thunder1212 | compdoc: yes | 15:17 |
| stephenthemartyr | ok | 15:17 |
| stephenthemartyr | jrib: ok sorry | 15:17 |
| compdoc | thunder1212, its possible the cpu frequency scaling isnt working, so the cpu is running full blast all the time. Im trying to fix the same problem on a system I have | 15:18 |

| zteam | mordof, i can't get magnet-links working with firefox anymore (ie directlinks to torrent) | 15:26 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: get rid of "file" | 15:26 |
| mordof | zteam: are magnet links a different protocol? | 15:27 |
| viking_ | what arguments to netstat show remote connections only | 15:28 |
| viking_ | $ netstat -somethinghere | 15:28 |
| mordof | zteam: ah, yeah they are. you can register your own protocols in firefox and specify the program they belong to. that may work | 15:28 |
| stephenthemartyr | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678980/ | 15:28 |
| thunder1212 | compdoc: did u check this link.. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7889 | 15:28 |
| zteam | mordof, no, they is just a link to a torrent see here for example http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5224085/GIMP_version_2.6.8_Stable | 15:28 |
| RadoS | jrib, ok, misunderstood: libpam-modules is installed on the minimal, too, yet some scripts in /etc/update-motd.d are missing, like 50-landscape-sysinfo or 90-updates-available. How can I find out to which packages those files belong? | 15:28 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: that's not what I told you to type :/ | 15:28 |
| jrib | RadoS: you can use apt-file or packages.ubuntu.com | 15:29 |
| tera___ | I keep getting The canary thread is apparently starving. Taking action. in syslog and that seems to be the message that I get whenever my machine locks up for a few minutes any idea what could casue it? | 15:29 |
| zteam | mordof, exactly | 15:29 |
| compdoc | thunder1212, read this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-change-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu.html | 15:29 |
| jrib | RadoS: or on the system that has them you can use dpkg -S or dlocate -S | 15:29 |
| mordof | zteam: yeah - i checked it out. it's a different protocol | 15:29 |
| stephenthemartyr | jrib: well im confuised then sorrry:( | 15:29 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: tar xvf /path/to/file | 15:29 |

| zteam | mordof, 6.0 | 15:30 |
| rain | can i ask a question here? | 15:30 |
| Pici | jrib, stephenthemartyr: the xvf option isn't going to going to uncompress a bz2 file. you need to use xjv | 15:30 |
| hylian | !ask | 15:31 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 15:31 |

| kristopher | i have a few questions in regards to ubuntu. Just curious if the 64bit version is using flash 64bit beta or if the browser is wrapped with the 32 bit version of flash??? | 15:33 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: should be in your HOME directory, yes | 15:34 |
| stephenthemartyr | jrib: thank you so much | 15:34 |
| meomic | 64 bit ubuntu 11.04 for now is wrapped with 32bit ver of flash - anyway the 64bit alpha flash is not working well - crashed alot my pc - im back to the wrapped one... | 15:34 |
| thunder1212 | compdoc: i read that but i think the cpu frequency seems to be ok although i will check again.. | 15:34 |
| jrib | stephenthemartyr: I don't know why file-roller/Archive Manager did not work for you | 15:34 |
| kristopher | thanks meomic | 15:34 |
| glebaron | kristopher, 64-bit ubuntu uses 64-bit flash. | 15:35 |
| mordof | zteam: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol#Firefox_3.5_and_above | 15:35 |

| hylian | rain: what question did you want to ask? | 15:36 |
| gaelfx | eduardoinsweden: that doesn't sound like a good way to install anything | 15:37 |
| eduardoinsweden | yes it does, I need to install webmin | 15:37 |
| eduardoinsweden | and for that I need to put a key in root | 15:37 |
| eduardoinsweden | In Debian, no need for stupid sudo command | 15:37 |
| meomic | eduardoinsweden: type in terminal: gksu nautilus it should give you access, or sudo mc if you want shell | 15:37 |
| Myrtti | !webmin | eduardoinsweden | 15:37 |
| ubottu | eduardoinsweden: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 15:37 |
| eduardoinsweden | then what can I use instead of webmin | 15:38 |
| tera___ | Any idea about the canary thread starving? I test the RAM and am testing the HD right now. CPU doesn't crash or anything the ubuntu system just freezes and then comes back a few minutes later | 15:39 |

| staar2 | mordof, are you sure this is software problem, the problem could also be in hardware | 16:14 |
| acicula | zteam: looks just like a badly made package, maybe try finding it or something similar in the ubuntu software repository? | 16:14 |
| mamed | hey | 16:14 |

| mamed | hello guys greetings from turkey and i have a problem on my ubuntu natty. i want to change my gdm screen but i cant do it | 16:17 |
| acicula | zteam: you could try a dpkg flag that instructs it to ignore such errors, but it looks like the package is broken to begin with | 16:17 |
| staar2 | maalac you mean connect to internet through dhcpd ? | 16:17 |
| lysgaard | Anyone have experience on black screen and freeze when one connects multiple monitors? | 16:17 |

| hroi | anyone here know what the heck to do with /dev/shm | 16:18 |
| hroi | can I touch it? I want to use tmpfs for image processing | 16:18 |

| zagabar | I've customised one of the themes in ubuntu and everything works. But when KDevelop is exited and started again, the theme gets broken. Logging out and in doesn't help. I have to select another theme and then set it back to my theme again to make it work. It breaks like this: http://pallkarsia.net/~uploader/psst/upload/Screenshot.png Why is this? | 16:28 |
| designbybeck | anyway to chown in the GUI? | 16:28 |
| ksull72487 | yes sry bad abbreviation | 16:28 |
| Death4Life | designbybeck: right click -> properties? | 16:29 |
| designbybeck | you can change permissions by rightclicking but can you chown | 16:29 |
| zteam | acicula, I don't get what that means | 16:29 |
| ksull72487 | bios for the motherboard i have updates from the manufacture and all include updates for 64bit and ram and lol linux | 16:29 |
| designbybeck | yeah Death for 777 755 and such you can, but I don't see a spot for changing owner of a file there | 16:29 |

| SIFTU | ksull72487: freedos | 16:31 |
| geirha | designbybeck: err, *Only root | 16:31 |
| ksull72487 | yeah but running it from usb is what i need to do | 16:31 |
| rog | hi, i've got a naive question about ubuntu/gnome - is this a good place to ask? | 16:31 |
| designbybeck | hmmm | 16:31 |
| SIFTU | ksull72487: freedos runs from usb | 16:31 |
| ksull72487 | i can do a disc on one cpu but not on the other as its just a box with brains | 16:31 |
| acicula | zteam: idk what you had then, this deb install fails expecting files in a directory where they arent and should not be either. so i cant see how you could get it to install, unless you use something like --force or whatever its called to ignore errors, but that might cause other problems | 16:31 |
| sipior | rog: sure, go ahead. | 16:32 |
| designbybeck | geirha, can you be root or superuser in GUI and right click and change owner or soemthing like that? | 16:32 |
| geirha | designbybeck: Alt+F2 -> gksudo nautilus | 16:32 |
| ksull72487 | are there any clear tutorials that have freedos updating the bios without the us a of a cd | 16:32 |
| rog | i've just installed ubuntu for the first time on my new laptop. clicking the miniaturize button on a window causes it to disappear. i've googled for the answer, and it talks about right-clicking on "the panel" and adding Window List. what is "the panel"? | 16:33 |
| SIFTU | ksull72487: google buddie http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=USB | 16:33 |
| acicula | ksull72487: to use a new bios you will have to reboot anyway, its possible to flash bios from linux, but honestly why risk bricking your hardware and ignoring the vendor recommendation? | 16:33 |
| geirha | designbybeck: There's also the nautilus-gksu package you can install. It allows you to right click a file/folder and "open as administrator". | 16:33 |
| rog | (or should i just avoid the miniaturize button? :-]) | 16:34 |
| xangua | rog: I suggest you to read http://omgubuntu.co.uk/natty/ to lear to use unity | 16:34 |

| designbybeck | so from commandline on the server I would just do 'chown www-data:www-data filename -R | 16:36 |

| geirha | rog: Yes, a chrome icon should appear | 16:46 |
| rog | geirha: there's already a chrome icon, but clicking on it doesn't bring up any of the chrome minimised windows | 16:47 |
| mordof | rog: it won't make a new one when you appear. if you launch chrome - it will create a new item on the left. when you minimize, an arrow will be placed beside that new item which was created when you launched it to begin with | 16:47 |
| mordof | rog: s/appear/minimize | 16:48 |
| rog | mordog: no arrow is created when i minimize a chrome window | 16:48 |
| geirha | rog: Do you see a small white triangle next to it? | 16:48 |
| rog | no | 16:48 |
| rog | although i do against other apps | 16:48 |
| rog | i'll try another app, e.g. terminal | 16:49 |
| mordof | rog: sometimes, depending on how it's launched/installed - does it create another black/blank icon somewhere else when you launch chrome? | 16:49 |
| geirha | rog: Hm. If you hold down the Alt key and hit TAB, do you see it? | 16:49 |
| rog | ah, minimizing a Terminal window works ok | 16:49 |
| v1k1ng | how to format a windows partition and add it to the linux partition | 16:49 |

| Pici | mod: Why did you do that? | 16:58 |
| mod | when I run update-java-alternatives -l , i see openjdk | 16:58 |
| mod | because its the Sun JDK that I need | 16:58 |
| mod | and it doesnt come as a deb | 16:58 |
| glebihan | mod, sun jdk is available as a deb package | 16:58 |
| Pici | mod: alien is really really really not reccomended. | 16:58 |

| Pici | dweez: er, what iceroot said. I'm not thinking straight today. | 17:28 |
| iceroot | fission6: that is wrong | 17:28 |
| dweez | getent groups gave me an error | 17:28 |
| splnet | iceroot: depends on the use case execute permission for others has its uses | 17:28 |
| dweez | just "groups" worked fine | 17:28 |
| fission6 | chmod 113 /space/mongo is this the right line for permissions | 17:28 |
| iceroot | fission6: no | 17:28 |
| dweez | ah, it's "getent group" | 17:29 |
| dweez | not groups | 17:29 |
| unguest | now about that rainbow penis | 17:29 |
| fission6 | oh how do i add a user to a group? | 17:29 |
| BlouBlou | unguest: ? | 17:29 |
| kaellan | Annyway to activate intel cpu core booster or likly in ubuntu ? my cpu supports turning quad core 1.9 ghz into 2.9 ghz dual core. | 17:29 |
| dweez | sounds like smoke, mirrors, and blather to me kaellan | 17:30 |
| kaellan | =? | 17:30 |
| splnet | fission6: depends on the use case. chmod 130 will give the write but not read to the group | 17:30 |
| iceroot | fission6: normally you want 770 so that the owner and group can do everything and others cant to anything | 17:31 |
| dweez | kaellan, sounds like it's just playing around with priorities and power management or something to make you think you're getting that extra 1.0 GHz | 17:31 |
| gigenieks | hi guys, what was the command of Alt+F2 to restart Xubuntu window manager? I remember it was something like "xfce4 --replace ? | 17:31 |
| gigenieks | everything is really messed up... | 17:31 |
| dweez | just to restart the xdm? | 17:32 |
| iceroot | gigenieks: sudo service xdm restart | 17:32 |
| dweez | ^^^ | 17:32 |
| fission6 | well they should be able to read and write both the owner and the group | 17:32 |
| iceroot | gigenieks: for restarting your x-server | 17:32 |
| kaellan | dweez, google intel turbo boost i dont know what itdo buth i ply wow and it only suports dual core so i play atm with 1.9 ghz = fps drops even oh i got a nvid gforce460m | 17:32 |
| dweez | adding the Ctrl+Alt+Bacspace shortcut back is on my list of things to do right after an install | 17:32 |
| iceroot | fission6: chmod 770 -R /path/to/dir | 17:32 |
| gigenieks | no I need to restart window manager | 17:32 |
| gigenieks | it is not X issue | 17:33 |
| iceroot | gigenieks: the command i told you will do that | 17:33 |
| ge | hi | 17:33 |
| dweez | gigenieks, as in restart the desktop ? | 17:33 |
| dweez | iceroot's command is for that | 17:33 |
| splnet | or send a HUP signal -> pkill -HUP gdm | 17:34 |
| gigenieks | xdm: unrecognized cmmand | 17:34 |
| gigenieks | I have Xubuntu | 17:34 |
| splnet | gigenieks: replace xdm with kdm, or gdm | 17:35 |
| maalac | setup ubuntu eth0 or LAN at bootup wether on battery or on power adapter? please help .. | 17:35 |
| dweez | Xbuntu is xdm right? | 17:35 |
| Pici | fyi: thats not the same thing as restarting the window manager. | 17:36 |
| gigenieks | did do that sudo service gdm restart | 17:36 |
| gigenieks | it restarted; didnt fix | 17:36 |
| blsh0p | hey guys i had a question about virtual box, anyone here know how to use it? | 17:36 |
| dweez | Pici, then please elaborate | 17:36 |
| maalac | blsh0p: what do you want to know ? | 17:36 |
| maalac | maalac: setup ubuntu eth0 or LAN at bootup wether on battery or on power adapter? please help . | 17:37 |
| Pici | gigenieks: next time you'll want to restart whichever window manager you're using in xfce, either metacity or compiz. I'm not sure what is default nowadays. | 17:37 |
| Pici | gigenieks: but that will happen when you restart your display manager too. | 17:37 |
| blsh0p | I am currently dual booting windows and ubuntu, but i want to put the windows os that i already use on a virtual box file | 17:37 |
| dweez | Oh, the eyecandy | 17:37 |
| gigenieks | AS I SAID, it was fixed with ALT+F2 with some command which restart WINDOW manager isjsust cant remember exactly the type "xfce4 --replace" is wrong? | 17:37 |
| blsh0p | how can i run it on the virtual box instead of dual booting, while keeping the same os and all its files | 17:37 |
| Myrtti | Pici: xfwm4 | 17:38 |
| Pici | Myrtti: oh? | 17:38 |
| dweez | http://www.sysprobs.com/physical-virtual-virtualbox-virtualbox-p2v | 17:38 |
| gigenieks | Myrtti: i think it is right, sec | 17:38 |
| dweez | blsh0p ==> http://www.sysprobs.com/physical-virtual-virtualbox-virtualbox-p2v | 17:38 |
| dweez | or go to VirtualBox's website and look for info on P2V (physical to virtual) | 17:39 |
| maalac | blsh0p: the only way i can think of is. norton ghost and then load the ghost image into your virtual box. but its not recommended..you might encounter driver problems along d way ..suggest to uninstall all drivers and install only generic ones.. | 17:39 |
| Myrtti | gigenieks: also, just so you know, please have patience in our channels and don't crosspost across immediately if you don't get an answer... | 17:39 |
| gigenieks | Myrtti: thank you! itwas correcty type !! :) | 17:39 |
| QubeX2 | blsh0p i dont think VirtualBox presents the exact same hardware as you computer | 17:39 |
| dweez | maalac, nah, most Virtual Environment software has a P2V procedure/tool | 17:39 |
| daavis | what to do so that my mobile phone recognize my laptop and i can send files from mobile ph. to computer? | 17:39 |
| Myrtti | gigenieks: it was what charlie-tca told you in #xubuntu eight minutes ago... | 17:39 |
| gigenieks | It just was an "emergency I could even go to internet browser.. :/ | 17:39 |
| dweez | Have I been muted? | 17:40 |
| maalac | blsh0p: you can try dweez suggestion ..this kinda new to me.. | 17:40 |
| dweez | lol | 17:40 |
| blsh0p | so if i wanted to replace all my files manually? like with a harddrive? | 17:40 |
| gigenieks | I restarted X so i didnt see | 17:40 |
| dweez | I've done P2V with Hyper-V but not with VB | 17:40 |
| maalac | dweez: although, i tried norton ghost before and it work for me..but lot of issues .. | 17:40 |
| gigenieks | Alt+f2 ----> "xfwm4 --replace" did the job - have a nice day everybody! :) | 17:41 |
| dweez | yeah, I think the P2V process eases the issue with differing hardware | 17:41 |
| daavis | what to do so that my mobile phone recognize my laptop and i can send files from mobile ph. to computer? | 17:41 |
| dweez | blsh0p, ==> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows | 17:41 |
| dweez | straight from the horse's (website's) mouth | 17:41 |
| splnet | daavis: what mobile phone. more details needed | 17:42 |
| daavis | Nokia x302 splnet | 17:42 |
| Myrtti | daavis: my best bet would be bluetooth sending it | 17:43 |
| daavis | Myrtti, you red my question? | 17:44 |
| dweez | daavis, he blue your answer | 17:45 |
| p1l0t | I am trying to Access my encrypted home folder.. Its a backup that I copied. I know the passphrase but I don't which cypher to use. | 17:45 |
| daavis | oh, very helpfull | 17:45 |

| jnsl_ | if i ask about an command i use on ubuntu on mac forum people say the same | 17:50 |
| D3loced | Maybe driver issues... check that first | 17:50 |

| Dark_Apostrophe | Hello. I'm trying to set up a Ubuntu 11.04 system in Virtualbox on a Win7 x64 host. The reason is that I need to root an Android phone by LG, but LG's Windows USB drivers only seem to work for 32-bit Windows. Anyway, following cyanogenmod's guide, it says I need the Android SDK, for which Java Development Kit is a requirement. I checked apt-get, and found only openjdk - will this do, or do I need the Sun/Oracle release? | 18:02 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | Or, if there are any .deb files of the Oracle release, so I don't have to mess with their manual install, which seems clunky. | 18:03 |
| blsh0p_ | what is the virtualbox channel? | 18:03 |
| Pici | Dark_Apostrophe: install the appropriate sun-java-* package from the partner repository. | 18:04 |
| kidthomsonicarus | france? | 18:04 |
| Pici | !parter | Dark_Apostrophe | 18:04 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | Seemed more like a Ubuntu question (or maybe a Cyanogenmod question, I'm not sure) | 18:04 |
| blsh0p_ | whats the cannel for virtualbox? | 18:04 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | No idea, is there one? | 18:04 |
| Pici | !perner | Dark_Apostrophe sorry | 18:04 |
| Pici | !partner | Dark_Apostrophe sorry | 18:04 |
| ubottu | Dark_Apostrophe sorry: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 18:04 |
| Pici | I can't do anything right today. | 18:04 |
| blsh0p_ | u guys gave it to me like 10 minutes ago but i forgot | 18:05 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | thanks, Pici | 18:05 |
| dv310p3r | My system seems to have some sort of bottleneck. I've got 4gb of ram, 3.8gb usable, or something like that. Now, I know when i get to like 2gb used, it kicks in my swap. But that I hate swap because it lags my systme so I swapoff -a. I see swap go down to zero. So why would my system still exhibit moments of pause and lag? Any idea how I can test or check for a bottleneck? | 18:05 |
| blsh0p_ | anyone know the channel for virtualbox? | 18:05 |
| Pici | blsh0p_: #vbox | 18:05 |
| blsh0p_ | ok thanks | 18:05 |
| Pici | Kirill: I'm looking at your issue, not sure what the problem is yet. | 18:05 |
| pi1 | hey guys, i'm on 11.04, my sound is through my hdmi monitor, how do I enable sound from my terminal, so i can hear the irssi "beep" etc? any help greatly appreciated, thanks. | 18:06 |
| Pici | Kirill: Is this an upgrade or right after an upgrade? | 18:06 |
| julia | Hello, i use the acer 4810t laptop with ubuntu 11.04 and my mic doesn't work. Please help me to get it working again. | 18:07 |
| gmaiarodrigo | please anyone? | 18:07 |
| Kirill | Pici: yeah, part of apt-get dist-upgrade | 18:07 |
| tera___ | g0rby, you back I fixed it? | 18:07 |
| Pici | Kirill: Please tell me you aren't upgrading from something to natty with that. | 18:08 |
| daavis | sorry for repeating - Nokia x302 | i want to send files from this phone to my laptop wirelessly [bluetooth? ] | | 18:08 |
| Kirill | Pici: I am, but I did all the previous steps like search/replace everything in sources to "natty", e tc. | 18:08 |
| kyle__ | How would you enable say, the ati driver, from the ocmmand line | 18:09 |
| xangua | Kirill: bad steps ;) | 18:09 |
| Pici | Kirill: Thats not the proper way to upgrade to a new release. You should be using do-release-upgrade (or update-manager if you prefer the gui) . | 18:09 |
| Kirill | right... I tried do-release-upgrade, but it hosed my system completely and I had to restore from backup | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | 18:09 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 18:09 |
| wrtp | dweez: you might be interested to know that my chrome miniaturization problem has now gone away, after restarting. | 18:09 |
| Kirill | I was following this guide: http://library.linode.com/troubleshooting/upgrade-to-ubuntu-11.04-natty | 18:09 |
| Pici | Kirill: That file has been migrated from one package to another and apt-get isn't smart enough to handle that on its own. I don't know what to suggest if d-r-u didn't work for you :/ | 18:09 |
| dweez | ah, so your metacity/compiz sort of crashed and you didn't have a taskbar anymore? | 18:10 |
| dweez | yeah, I got that a lot...made me give up on eyecandy | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | kyle__: i believe there is jockey-text | 18:10 |
| dweez | glad your thing is resolved though | 18:10 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | Pici: Apt-get update can't parse sources.list if I add that :/ | 18:10 |
| daavis | sorry for repeating - Nokia x302 | i want to send files from this phone to my laptop wirelessly [bluetooth? ] | | 18:11 |
| Kirill | Pici: any ideas how to informat apt of this change manually? too late for d-r-u anyway. there must be a way to fix this ridiculous problem | 18:11 |
| Pici | Dark_Apostrophe: What did you add? | 18:11 |
| daavis | howto do that? | 18:11 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | That line, letter by letter | 18:11 |
| Kirill | Pici: *inform, I mean | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | daavis: have you paired the device? | 18:11 |
| daavis | ActionParsnip, how? | 18:12 |
| apokalipse | Hello, I would like to know what to install / use to make my webcam work with flash player ? I sax many solutions and I'm lost. I'm on natty 11.4 | 18:12 |
| Pici | Kirill: I wonder if you install --reinstall both packages if it will work. | 18:12 |
| flax^_ | just noticed abi-2.6.38-11-generic in /boot, what is that? cant find it in grub.cfg | 18:12 |
| Pici | Dark_Apostrophe: Well, its not something that needs to be added to /etc/apt/sources.list it is its own command. | 18:12 |
| wildc4rd | evenin all | 18:12 |
| Kirill | Pici: not working | 18:12 |
| BryanRuiz | what is ubuntu's "chkconfig" equivelent? || how do change which services start and stop at boot? | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | daavis: run bluetooth-applet and you can use that. Once it's paired you can tell the OS to receive a file then send from the phone | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !boot | BryanRuiz | 18:14 |
| ubottu | BryanRuiz: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 18:14 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | Pici: I know | 18:14 |
| Kirill | Pici: it says "trying to overwrite '/etc/init.d/console-setup', which is also in package console-setup 1.57ubuntu20" ... but this file isn't even there | 18:14 |
| Pici | Kirill: This is really iffy, but you could use dpkg --force-conflicts with the package in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 18:15 |
| Pici | Dark_Apostrophe: what does lsb_release -sc say? | 18:15 |
| daavis | ActionParsnip, applet is allready running - terminal is telling me | 18:15 |
| daavis | ActionParsnip, what next? | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Kirill: i also suggest you log a bug to resolve the conflict | 18:15 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | Pici: natty | 18:15 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: He didn't use do-release-upgrade, so it will likely be considered invalid. | 18:16 |
| MrKeuner | hello, is there a easy and efficient backup system? Hopefully one that might serve win and macos as well? | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | daavis: then on the panel you'll see the bluetooth icon | 18:16 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | Pici: Wait, think Synaptic might be able to do it | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: true | 18:16 |
| Pici | Dark_Apostrophe: Well the command that I gave you shouldn't have added anything to /etc/apt/sources.list it creates its own files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ :/ | 18:16 |
| daavis | ActionParsnip, there is no bluetooth icon? | 18:17 |
| BryanRuiz | ActionParsnip: do you know what file bum is editing? | 18:17 |
| Kirill | Pici: --force-conflicts with what command? | 18:17 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | Pici: Oh... well, apt threw an error about sources.list :/ | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !backup | MrKeuner | 18:17 |
| ubottu | MrKeuner: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 18:17 |
| Pici | Kirill: dpkg --force-conflicts -i /var/cache/apt/archives/keyboard-configuration_1.57ubuntu20_all.deb | 18:17 |
| Kirill | right, that's what I thought; no dice. | 18:17 |
| LurchiderLurch | Can anyone tell me what the text on top of the stuff to copy & paste means? I have no idea about that: http://olivers.posterous.com/build-xv-on-ubuntu | 18:17 |
| MrKeuner | ActionParsnip, that should be enough, thanks | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | BryanRuiz: the ones in /etc/rc | 18:17 |

| Dark_Apostrophe | Pici: Looks like java isn't in the partners repo :/ | 18:18 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, just mounted | 18:18 |
| Kirill | I think I'll just go ahead and install freebsd. had enough fun with ubuntu for the next few years.. | 18:18 |

| Kingsy | which program do I need to get mp3 player support in ubuntu ? | 18:19 |
| Pici | Kirill: sorry :/ | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | BryanRuiz: /etc/rc.d not sure bum works fully since the startup has changed a bit | 18:19 |
| Kirill | Pici: that's alright, not your fault. it's amazing how much of a POS ubuntu is with respect to its installation/package management... epic fail. | 18:19 |
| glebihan | ActionParsnip, BryanRuiz bum does not work with upstart | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy: ubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:19 |
| BryanRuiz | glebihan: do i have upstart? | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | glebihan: didn't think so | 18:20 |
| BryanRuiz | glebihan: by default | 18:20 |
| m_fulder | glebihan I know got the mount error "wrong fs type...." .. can I somehow check what my HDD have for fs? | 18:20 |
| m_fulder | now* | 18:20 |
| glebihan | BryanRuiz, yes, unless you're running an old version of ubuntu | 18:20 |
| Kingsy | ActionParsnip: thats a ppa right? whaich package? | 18:20 |
| glebihan | (don't remember exactly when upstart started being default) | 18:20 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, try "sudo blkid" | 18:21 |
| j0bi | hello | 18:21 |
| BryanRuiz | glebihan: how do you go about managing services with upstart running? i cant believe that ubuntu expects you to go and edit the /etc/rc.*d stuff | 18:21 |

| ActionParsnip | Kirill: if you use the package manager properly you won't have an issue. Editting the sources.list file is not advised and is what is causing your issues | 18:22 |
| glebihan | BryanRuiz, upstart scripts are actually in /etc/init, and afaik there is no gui tool to manage thise | 18:22 |
| glebihan | *those* | 18:22 |
| m_fulder | glebihan my HDD is not listed there. though it is listed in fdisk -l | 18:22 |
| j0bi | i am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 server but after the install at the boot it gives me black screen with the cursor blinking and dont do anything. I tried nomodeset still nothing | 18:22 |
| Kirill | ActionParsnip: cool story, but do-release-upgrade hosed my system earlier, so it looks like it's not as well tested as required. therefore I had to edit the scripts myself. either way, dpkg -i --force-overwrite worked fine. but this is a total pain in the ass and a waste of people's time | 18:22 |
| j0bi | can someone pls help me | 18:23 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, ok could you pastebin the output of "fdisk -l" then ? | 18:23 |
| magnus | hi I installed an apache server on my ubuntu, and followed the guide I saw on ubuntu.com, and no I dont understand a shit... I cant see things like <?php $txt="Hello World!"; $x=16; ?> | 18:23 |
| BryanRuiz | glebihan: hm i dont see apache or nginx in that lsit | 18:23 |
| magnus | can anybody tell me why? | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Kirill: there is a reason why the upgrade docs DON'T say to edit the file. There is a correct way to do it. You have caused the problem, not ubuntu | 18:23 |
| m_fulder | glebihan: http://pastebin.com/WA14SNgB | 18:23 |
| Kingsy | ActionParsnip: yeah its a ppa.. I have added it.. but which package do I need? | 18:23 |
| m_fulder | glebihan I want the "Extended" HDD | 18:23 |
| glebihan | BryanRuiz, apache still uses Sys V Init, not sure about nginx | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy: it's not a ppa, its a package | 18:24 |
| Kingsy | really? oh | 18:24 |
| BryanRuiz | !Sys V Init | 18:24 |
| ubottu | BryanRuiz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:24 |
| asteve | i would like to use cyrus-sasl for postfix sasl auth and i cannot determine the package for ubuntu 10.04; does anyone have insight? | 18:24 |
| Kirill | ActionParsnip: are you joking? what part of "do-release-upgrade failed" do you not understand? I only edited the files after it failed... ffs | 18:24 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, well there is no "real" partition there, you have to create partitions inside an extended partition | 18:25 |
| glebihan | BryanRuiz, Sys V init is the old init process | 18:25 |
| BryanRuiz | glebihan: yep got it | 18:25 |
| BryanRuiz | thx | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Kirill: then you should have troubleshooted the issue rather than performing steps which will break your OS | 18:25 |
| glebihan | BryanRuiz, upstart still handles the scripts written for that system | 18:25 |
| j0bi | can somebody help | 18:26 |
| glebihan | BryanRuiz, and btw bum can still manage those ones | 18:26 |
| Kirill | ActionParsnip: already did, it's working fine now. thanks for nothing | 18:26 |
| BryanRuiz | cool thx glebihan | 18:26 |
| m_fulder | glebihan so you mean it doesn't have any data on that disk at all i.e. it has not been formatted at all :O..I think that's an external USB HDD | 18:26 |
| kaellan | how do i alow stuff to be active and use cpu etc in background ? | 18:26 |
| BryanRuiz | glebihan: now i got to get bum to run by command line ;) | 18:26 |
| BryanRuiz | s/by command line/ncurses or something/ | 18:26 |
| j0bi | ubuntu 10.04 server black screen - nomodeset still not booting into os | 18:27 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, it's not an external HDD, it's on the same hard drive as your system | 18:27 |
| glebihan | BryanRuiz, but bum is a gui | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | j0bi: remove the boot options: quiet splash see where it hangs | 18:27 |
| Kingsy | ActionParsnip: sorry to be a pain in the a** but I just installed that package.. I don't see anything different in the menus and plugging in the mp3 player triggers nothing.. whats next? | 18:27 |
| ksull72487 | remember the old weather icons and system meeters fromthe earlier releases is there a newer form like widgets and can you still get them through repositories | 18:28 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, oh sorry misread your paste... | 18:28 |
| j0bi | ActionParsnip: how to do that ? can you show me the road :) | 18:28 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, there is actually a partition inside that extended partition, and it's the swap one | 18:28 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, you have no partitions left to mount there | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy: i thought you wanted to play mp3s. Oh well. If you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the partition? | 18:29 |
| j0bi | pls pls ActionParsnip can you guide me | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | j0bi: its the same as when you added nomodeset, you just delete the options | 18:30 |
| m_fulder | glebihan I don't :o so how do I reach that HDD? | 18:30 |
| j0bi | ok | 18:30 |
| Kingsy | ActionParsnip: no | 18:30 |
| Kingsy | well put it this way, nothing else is added or removed from that list when the player is plugged in or npt | 18:31 |

| Myrtti | v1k1ng: you don't necessarily need to redownload the packages tho | 18:52 |
| keithb | LurchiderLurch: you copy that whole section and put in a file called Makefile.ubuntu.diff | 18:52 |
| axisys | DIL: that was to me? | 18:53 |
| DIL | yes | 18:53 |
| LurchiderLurch | keithb, but where does this file have to be? | 18:53 |
| v1k1ng | Myrtti no, but i have no idea how to fix this | 18:53 |

| RedViper | glebihan: Then where will I get help? If you suggest #winehq, then take a look in the channel and let me know if you see people to help? | 19:08 |
| keithb | LurchiderLurch: You can do, but make sure it goes in the xv-3.10a directory | 19:08 |
| usr13 | fishscene: Stream it from where? | 19:08 |
| LurchiderLurch | keithb, even /home/myname/xv-b TAB does not elongate the directory. | 19:08 |

| Myrtti | RedViper: in general, pirated/cracked software is not supported anywhere. | 19:08 |
| usr13 | fishscene: Just right click on the stream link and choose "Save Link As" | 19:09 |
| glebihan | RedViper, if you're trying to run a cracked game, you probably won't find a irc channel to help you | 19:09 |
| v1k1ng | try the 2600 server | 19:09 |
| glebihan | RedViper, anyway definitely not here | 19:09 |
| v1k1ng | maybe Redviper | 19:09 |
| keithb | LurchiderLurch: did you create the directory as root in your home? If so, you won't have access under your normal account | 19:09 |
| fishscene | usr13: Pardon my miscommunication. I can re-stream it just fine using the GUI, but it kicks me off after about 12 hours or so. I'm trying to figure out a way to auto-restart the stream (which can't be done in the GUI) | 19:09 |
| RedViper | v1k1ng: Maybe? | 19:10 |
| Lucidd | Hey | 19:10 |
| RedViper | glebihan: Thanks for not helping :D | 19:10 |
| v1k1ng | redviper maybe the 2600 irc server will help, i don't know | 19:11 |
| MrCollins | RedViper, no one has to help you, assuming so is arrogant. | 19:11 |
| glebihan | RedViper, there are rules in those channels, and not helping with cracked software is one of them | 19:11 |
| usr13 | fishscene: Oh, well, I don't know about that. It's going to break the connection at the server after a certain length of time and I don't suppose there's anything you can do about it. | 19:11 |
| SavageWolf | Wait, does 11.10 have something like gnome-panel? | 19:11 |
| splitpaw-mobile | !winetricks |RedViper | 19:11 |
| fishscene | usr13: The ultimate goal would be to start the re-broadcast at 6am, then let it run until the server kicks me off. | 19:11 |
| v1k1ng | glebihan that command worked, thanks | 19:12 |
| glebihan | v1k1ng, you're welcome | 19:12 |
| v1k1ng | just had to apt-get upgrade again | 19:12 |
| v1k1ng | after | 19:12 |
| usr13 | fishscene: Maybe you should use a cron job? | 19:12 |
| fishscene | usr13: Correct. But I first have to put together a bash script to connect to the stream and re-broadcast it internally. | 19:12 |
| glebihan | v1k1ng, yes that's normal, my command was just to restore dpkg's state | 19:13 |
| fishscene | Technically, I'm not even sure if I should be asking for VLC help in here, so it would be awesome if someone who is knowledgeable could join me in the dead VLC channel or PM me. :) | 19:14 |

| MrCollins | did anyone see my question earlier? | 19:16 |
| Kingsy | qinns: is it you I spoke to before? | 19:16 |
| BluesKaj | MrCollins, just got here , so I missed it | 19:17 |
| MrCollins | ok im not trying to spam, here it is again, thank you BluesKaj | 19:17 |
| MrCollins | I do have another question, I have a hp 8500 printer on the network that I know works, for some reason I cant seem to find it... Is there a way for Ubuntu to auto search for my printer (the way windows does) so that each time my router renews ip's, I do not have to re-establish a connection? | 19:18 |
| agentile | hello, I installed ubuntu within windows 7 a while back and when I didn't allocate as much space to ubuntu as I probably should have. ubuntu is now my primary os and I would like to give ubuntu more disk space ... the problem is that my windows 7 is toast, bad things happened. Since I don't really care about windows anymore and can still access files from /host and and such, I'm wondering how I might free up disk space for ubuntu | 19:18 |
| agentile | since I can't go into windows 7 anymore and do any management there. will gparted help me with my scenario? I don't want to reformat to fix the dual boot and kill ubuntu by killing the problematic windows. If I can just give ubuntu more space, that is what i want. | 19:18 |
| fishscene | Holy cow | 19:19 |
| fishscene | NVM about my VLC help. Just got it working. | 19:19 |
| triptec | MrCollins, i usually run nmap to get the ip of the devices on my subnet | 19:19 |
| MrCollins | fishscene, what did u do | 19:19 |
| Kingsy | brb | 19:19 |
| MrCollins | triptec, nmap? how is that initiated? | 19:19 |
| fishscene | Turns out I was putting the input stream on the wrong side of the VLC command | 19:19 |
| MrCollins | sudo nmap ? | 19:19 |
| willhotmess | any good channels? | 19:19 |
| willhotmess | on any network | 19:20 |
| triptec | MrCollins, sudo nmap -O 192.168.0.1-255 | 19:20 |

| rocket16 | Hey guys, I installed Macbuntu on my ubuntu 11.04 (classic session) laptop with 3 GB RAM. Everything is well, but recently I noticed that after I log in, the desktop takes about 40 seconds to show. Is there a way to speed it up? | 19:20 |
| MrCollins | I used to work for The Hook WJYF before it became KLOVE ;) | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | agentile, if you used wubi, you have to do a clean ubuntu install on it's own partition, but gparted acn help you that , i would just create a new partition table if you don't need to save any data | 19:21 |
| MrCollins | triptec, thank you! | 19:21 |
| triptec | np | 19:21 |
| fishscene | MrCollins: Nice. | 19:21 |
| MrCollins | what is the -0 flag? | 19:21 |
| triptec | like get the os or something | 19:21 |
| agentile | BluesKaj: ya i have too much important stuff on my ubuntu install and not enough time currently to deal with a fresh ubuntu install | 19:22 |
| triptec | usually tells me like "Canon" or what ever | 19:22 |
| Kingsy | anyone had problems getting a mp3 player to mount or even be viewable when you plug it in? qin was saying something about an option in System -> Prefs.. but I cant find anything | 19:22 |
| agentile | was hoping with gparted i could say ... gimme space from the hosted win7 partition and give to ubuntu partition | 19:22 |
| triptec | Kingsy, I've had probs with ipods | 19:23 |
| Kingsy | triptec: how do you get em to show up? | 19:23 |
| Kingsy | my kindle was doing the same.. but all of sudden its just popped up | 19:23 |
| Kingsy | still no mp2 player tho | 19:23 |
| Lucidd | I am running a Sony Vaio XPCM111AX and cannot seem to connect to a wireless network for Ubuntu 10.04. So I get the network icon to add a hidden network but it will not allow me to view any networks in area.... My broadcast ID is turned on and I can see other networks on my desk top... | 19:23 |
| keithb | agentile you should be able to reformat the win7 partition and then mount it as filespace under ubuntu | 19:24 |
| Lucidd | Any ideas? | 19:24 |
| Lucidd | Just installed | 19:24 |
| triptec | Kingsy, if u pop it into a win system does it come up as removable media? | 19:24 |
| agentile | keithb: but ubuntu being on that win7 partition would mean killing ubuntu, no | 19:24 |
| Lucidd | test | 19:24 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| Kingsy | triptec: ummm not sure.. I don't think so | 19:24 |
| Kingsy | triptec: it appears as a device | 19:25 |
| MrCollins | how do I get nmaps output to a file | 19:25 |
| keithb | agentile: so you don't have ubuntu on its own partition? | 19:25 |
| triptec | Kingsy, then I think you might have a harder time getting it to just popup | 19:25 |
| Kingsy | triptec: well I don't need it to popup.. I really just need to access it | 19:25 |
| MrCollins | would it be sudo nmap -O 192.168.0.1-255 > nmaplog | 19:25 |
| triptec | MrCollins dont nmap... > nmap.out work | 19:26 |
| triptec | ? | 19:26 |
| triptec | yeah it should work i think | 19:26 |
| Demon002 | Has anyone managed a 11.04 Wubi install on Raid, if so do you know where the tutorial can be found? | 19:27 |
| triptec | Kingsy, as in get/put files with it? | 19:27 |
| agentile | keithb: hmm, maybe i do... its on sda, /host is on sdb ... sorry im not too familiar wtih this stuff. sda has 1 2 and 3 ... but im honestly confused at what im seeing vs df -h | 19:28 |

| triptec | Kingsy, if it would be recognized as a file system it would pop up... sorry | 19:28 |
| agentile | what is /dev/loop0 referring to in regard to the partitions i have | 19:29 |
| Demon002 | agentile sd(a-z) are your physical drive. The numbers following are your partitions | 19:29 |
| Kingsy | damn... ok | 19:29 |
| keithb | agentile: do you have win7 mounted under ubuntu? df should tell you | 19:30 |

| waza-ari | Hey all, when programming with Java, is there a way to have this "popups" (dunno how they are really called) in the upper edge of the unity desktop providing some information? | 19:30 |
| SavageWolf | Aren't they a part of the GtK windowset thing? | 19:31 |
| keithb | agentile: loop0 means you are probably mounting a virtual hard disk stored on the win7 partition | 19:31 |
| keithb | agentile: when you start ubuntu, do you have to start win7 first? | 19:32 |
| agentile | http://privatepaste.com/588c2b0e7b | 19:32 |
| glebihan | waza-ari, those popups are provided by the libnotify library | 19:32 |
| agentile | keithb: no | 19:32 |
| agentile | i have the option from the boot menu | 19:32 |
| agentile | keithb: yes that sounds right | 19:32 |
| === phantomcircuit is now known as the_real_bruce | ||
| agentile | is there a way for me to free up space on that virtual hd on the win7 partition | 19:33 |

| white_magic | is it possible to run a 32bit binary in a 64bit linux environment? | 19:33 |
| p1l0t | Does encrypting a file condense it? As in make its file size smaller? Or the opposite? Or neither? | 19:33 |
| keithb | agentile: pastebin the output of: mount | 19:34 |
| SavageWolf | White, yes, but a package needs to be installed. | 19:34 |
| white_magic | p110t: probably doesn't have a huge effect on file size | 19:34 |
| splnet | white_magic: yes no problem | 19:34 |
| waza-ari | glebihan: i'm using unity, not gnome. do you thing this also works? | 19:34 |
| maalac | firefox is crusing using jAVA ? any ideas on how to solve this ? | 19:34 |
| glebihan | waza-ari, unity *is* gnome | 19:34 |
| SavageWolf | White, ia32-libs seems to be it. | 19:34 |
| agentile | keithb: http://privatepaste.com/1db536f00b | 19:35 |
| white_magic | splnet: well i'm trying to run a .bin file.. i tried './my.bin' and I got 'bash: no such file or directory' | 19:35 |
| glebihan | waza-ari, so yes it should work (though I've never used those libraries in Java) | 19:35 |
| splnet | white_magic: try strace file.bin | 19:35 |
| qin | white_magic: chmod it first? | 19:35 |
| waza-ari | glebihan: hm, okay... i didnt really care about that up to now... | 19:35 |
| white_magic | SavageWolf, ok i'm gonna get them with apt-get. I hope that makes it work | 19:35 |
| white_magic | qin: tried it | 19:35 |
| waza-ari | glebihan: okay, i'll just give it a try, thanks | 19:35 |
| glebihan | waza-ari, you're welcome | 19:36 |

| Label | Can anyone tell me how to get to the default networking GUI through terminal command? | 19:37 |
| BluesKaj | Demon002, ..dunno why anyone would put a wubi install on windows on raid , whynot just give ubuntu it's own partition ? | 19:37 |
| maalac | BluesKaj: Demon002 yes i agree.. | 19:38 |
| keithb | agentile: if you look in /host does that contain the win7 files? | 19:38 |
| agentgasmask | Hi. There is no scanner group on the server I'm trying to share a scanner on. However I see it on other systems. Is it important? If so, how can I set it up? Just an: addgroup scanner? | 19:38 |
| Demon002 | I am simply just attempting a side by side install, I am trying to avoid messing with the raid itself. | 19:38 |
| agentile | keithb: correct. | 19:39 |
| Demon002 | Blueskaj, besides partitioning a Raid sounds like a pain... | 19:40 |
| BluesKaj | wubi isn't the way to do a sisde by side install , Demon002 | 19:40 |
| keithb | agentile: well /host has 192G free if that is enough you can use it, most convenient way would be to simlink it into the / filesystem | 19:40 |
| samuel_ | is there torrent client in ubuntu that support automatic shutdown when download is complete just like bittorrent | 19:40 |
| BluesKaj | wubi installs ubuntu inside windows , Demon002 | 19:41 |
| Demon002 | Blueskaj, Says Install Ubuntu from Windows.. Sounds like what I am looking for... | 19:41 |
| alxyon | Does anyone know how to get past bradford security at my uni? I cant even log onto their network on linux. | 19:41 |
| agentile | keithb: sounds like a plan, so i just need to symlink /host to / ? | 19:42 |
| Demon002 | BluesKaj, I see what you're saying I am not being as literal as I should be.. I know it is installed inside Windows... | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | ok, then raid in this case is immaterial, Demon002 | 19:43 |
| Demon002 | BluesKaj, No it isn't... | 19:43 |
| keithb | agentile: no symlink /host to /somewhere, if you want it in your home dir it would be /home/username/somename | 19:43 |
| Label | Does anyone know the terminal command to open up the networking GUI? | 19:43 |
| Demon002 | BluesKaj, just trust me, ubuntu doesn't recognise that Windows is in the same Raid disk and wants to write over the entire 1Tb array. | 19:44 |
| agentile | keithb: and the ubuntu will magically incorporate in that free space eh | 19:44 |
| BluesKaj | ok Demon002 , then you're not using wubi | 19:44 |
| Demon002 | BluesKaj, When I reboot into Ubuntu it doesn't allow for correct installation, it flounders... Yeah I am... | 19:45 |
| glebihan | Label, what networking gui exactly ? the one that pops up when you click "edit connections" on the network manager applet ? | 19:45 |
| Demon002 | BluesKaj, I installed Wubi in windows, it asks for a reboot, I do so and boot into Ubuntu.. and then I get floudered with errors and am told it was unable to install | 19:45 |
| keithb | agentile: exactly, there is another option which is to change the mount point /host to /somewhere-else which you can do in /etc/fstab but you really need to get that right | 19:45 |
| BluesKaj | Demon002, it doesn't matter , I wouldn't know how to help you anyway ...maybe someone else can , but what you're doing is rather convoluted. You'd be better to try a virtual install | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | !VB | 19:46 |
| agentile | keithb: alright, thanks for your help | 19:46 |
| keithb | agentile: np | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | !VM | Demon002 | 19:46 |
| ubottu | Demon002: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 19:46 |
| Demon002 | BluesKaj, I have it installed on a vm already... | 19:47 |

| Demon002 | Anyone have a tutorial for Win7 | Wubi 11.04 install on a RAID 0? | 19:49 |
| aaas | Demon002 I heard there is almost no reason to RAID0, but thats just what i heard | 19:50 |
| ratc | I got a strange problem, I configured my windows harddisk to mount at boot (in fstab) but it only mounts 50% of the time. so 1 boot 1 time, error, boot next time, all fine, boot again error etc...etc... Anybody know why a think like this could happen ? | 19:50 |
| TheMatrix3000 | if i place a script in /etc/cron.weekly/ | 19:51 |

| TheMatrix3000 | it will then run as a cron job weekly right? | 19:51 |
| samuel_ | aaas beside that maybe you try this andlinux | 19:52 |
| BluesKaj | Demon002, if you already have ubuntu in VM . why wubi ? | 19:52 |
| samuel_ | here is the link http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2011083000441RVSW | 19:52 |
| aaas | Demon002 but you'll not do it again right, you get a small speed, possibly less space, and if one fails so does the other..i looked into it, but i dont think it's worth ti | 19:53 |
| nsd_ | I'm trying to use an e-mail client with my college e-mail account, and I was able to find the SMTP server with nslookup, but I don't know how to find the pop/imap (I'm not sure what they're using) server. Is that something I won't be able to find with any tools? (Aside from using nmap, but I understand that's frowned upon) | 19:54 |
| Demon002 | aaas, nah next attempt will prolly be 0+1 | 19:54 |

| aaas | nsd_ the best way is just ask them or try thunderbird 5 its getting pretty good at guessing and they have a pretty big database | 19:55 |
| glebihan | TheMatrix3000, male sure it is executable though | 19:55 |
| nsd_ | samuel_ I've tried every port and every conceivable domain name | 19:55 |
| aaas | nsd_ actually i think outlook has something like that too.. you can just use it to grab the info | 19:56 |
| nsd_ | aaas: Is Thunderbird 5 available as a .deb from mozilla.com? | 19:56 |
| nsd_ | aaas: If that doesn't work, I'll just e-mail the admin | 19:56 |
| samuel_ | maybe it using secure pop3 | 19:56 |

| bluemix | Hello | 19:56 |
| bluemix | how are you all? :) | 19:56 |
| aaas | nsd_ no need to download from mozilla | 19:57 |

| nsd_ | samuel_: Believe me, I've tried | 19:57 |
| aaas | nsd_ if its a department email it might not be published online, but I find it strange that you couldnt find a college help page wich tells you the port/server address | 19:57 |
| aaas | nsd_ well then you probably have to download it, but you shouldnt' have to compile it.. but i dont think it's a deb | 19:58 |

| glebihan | nsd_, no sorry it's thunderbird 6 actually | 19:59 |
| aaas | nsd_ glebihan 6 is what i meant they are moving so fast | 20:00 |
| winut | its called shredder if you want the nightly version! | 20:00 |
| nsd_ | glebihan: Oh, well that's even better! I just would like the latest; according to aaas it's become very good at guessing server connection info | 20:00 |
| nsd_ | Aren't they hoping to hit 8 by the end of the year? | 20:00 |
| aaas | nsd_ you might have to fool with it esp if its a department email server, if it's a main university server it's more likely | 20:00 |
| aaas | nsd_ you have sntp but not imap? | 20:00 |
| nsd_ | aaas: Yes | 20:00 |
| winut | seems like they are making new verisions for the sake of it! cant see many differences between the last versions | 20:01 |
| aaas | nsd_ whats the smtp start with? smtp, portal, mail? | 20:01 |
| winut | same with firefox | 20:01 |
| nsd_ | aaas: It's unusual; it's psig followed by a number | 20:01 |
| nsd_ | aaas: They have multiple (I guess load balanced) | 20:01 |
| aaas | nsd_ oh jeez ok | 20:01 |
| aaas | nsd_ doesnt sound like they manage it very well ;)... thunderbird might help you... if not just sending an email to them real quick is the best way.. they dont' have a help page? | 20:02 |
| nsd_ | aaas: There's a help page, but it only says how to use the web client; nothing else. I'll probably just shoot off an e-mail to the right person | 20:02 |
| aaas | nsd_ most department/universies have some webpage out there that says 'setting up email with outlook' and you can grab the info from that | 20:02 |

| nsd_ | aaas: Yeah, I'm no stranger to messing with this sort of thing either. Thanks for the Thunderbird suggestion though | 20:10 |
| BarkingFish | I use top from the cli this end, and normally it's under a column marked S | 20:10 |
| aaas | nsd_ well hopefully you get it working | 20:10 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: glebihan only UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD | 20:10 |
| aaas | nsd_ and hopefully you're using imap | 20:10 |
| nsd_ | aaas: thankfully it is | 20:10 |
| aaas | nsd_ cool | 20:10 |
| glebihan | ubuntu_new, are you sure you typed the correct PID ? | 20:10 |
| ubuntu_new | glebihan: Yes I checked it 3 times :\ | 20:11 |
| fishscene | No luck. It is executing my script, but the & or & disown aren't keeping vlc alive. | 20:11 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new can you tell me the state of the process please? | 20:11 |
| BarkingFish | ubuntu_new, You should have a list of columns at the top, one of them should just be an S on its own | 20:11 |
| ubuntu_new | ah yes | 20:12 |
| BarkingFish | under that will be either the letter S, D, Z, Ss or something like that | 20:12 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: BarkingFish "R" | 20:12 |
| BarkingFish | running process | 20:12 |
| Demon002 | ... | 20:12 |
| `blackmk4 | what would cause me to be unable to boot a usb flash drive of ubuntu install | 20:12 |
| ubuntu_new | and it is green colored | 20:12 |
| BarkingFish | yep | 20:12 |
| `blackmk4 | i just get a blinking line and it goes nowhere, i've tried multiple different images | 20:12 |
| coz_ | `blackmk4, how did you set it on the usb ,, with which utility? | 20:13 |
| SIFTU | fishscene: ahh its running in a script? | 20:13 |
| `blackmk4 | dd | 20:13 |
| fishscene | yes | 20:13 |
| SIFTU | fishscene: you said cli | 20:13 |
| SIFTU | fishscene: then use nohup | 20:13 |
| coz_ | `blackmk4, are you on windows right now? | 20:13 |
| `blackmk4 | no | 20:13 |
| `blackmk4 | osx | 20:13 |
| coz_ | `blackmk4, ah ok | 20:13 |
| SIFTU | fishscene: "nohup foo &" | 20:13 |
| fishscene | So append & nohup? | 20:13 |
| fishscene | err | 20:13 |
| coz_ | `blackmk4, I am not familiar with doing that on osx... did you check the md5sum of the iso before setting it on usb? | 20:14 |
| `blackmk4 | es | 20:14 |
| fishscene | "nohup (command) &" ? | 20:14 |
| `blackmk4 | yes* | 20:14 |
| SIFTU | fishscene: yes | 20:14 |
| `blackmk4 | same thing as writing the image to a drive on linux | 20:14 |
| BarkingFish | So let me get this straight, ubuntu_new - you're trying to kill the process off, but you can't? | 20:14 |
| `blackmk4 | dd if / of | 20:14 |
| coz_ | `blackmk4, ok I wil back off and let someone more familiar with osx and burning to usb ,, I am out of my element with that | 20:14 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new have you tried just restarting it, and not killing it? | 20:15 |
| === Anarkee is now known as Dark_Apostrophe | ||
| `blackmk4 | alright, thanks | 20:15 |
| ubuntu_new | BarkingFish: Demon002 I like to get it working cause I need it but I can't even kill it | 20:15 |
| mbai | I think I have damaged my xfce settings. How can I reset them to default from a terminal? | 20:15 |
| mbai | I couldn't find a .xfce folder. | 20:15 |
| ubuntu_new | My CPU goes to 99% from it and it doesn't work even | 20:15 |
| BarkingFish | Who is listed as the process owner? | 20:16 |
| BarkingFish | you or root? | 20:16 |
| mbai | ubuntu_new: open a console, run top | 20:16 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new I would reboot, purge the thing and reinstall it. | 20:16 |
| BarkingFish | iirc a regular user can't kill a root process using kill - only processes owned by their own account | 20:16 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new be sure to export your settings | 20:16 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: I removed it and installed it from the Ubuntu Software but same problem | 20:17 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new that's just annoying.. | 20:17 |
| mbai | if you know name of the process, you can do sudo pkill -9 -f <name> | 20:17 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: I think I caused it with the web thing you know you can get transmission to work through the web interface | 20:17 |
| ubuntu_new | But I stoppted that from the settings | 20:17 |
| ubuntu_new | and still same problem | 20:17 |
| BarkingFish | or i'd imagine you could just killall <process name> | 20:18 |
| mbai | I don't think reinstalling it removes your configurations. | 20:18 |
| winut | can you delete your preferences as well? | 20:18 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new does it have some kind of child process? | 20:18 |
| mbai | you need to reset to the default configs... | 20:18 |
| ubuntu_new | When I run Vuze the other Torrent client that's written on Java, it goes crazy and I can't kill Java then | 20:18 |
| Demon002 | Purge removes all configs | 20:18 |
| winut | have you got enough space to write to ? | 20:18 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: no it doesn't | 20:18 |
| winut | pk, cool , thanks :-) | 20:18 |
| CharlieSu | ubuntu_new: use rtorrent | 20:19 |
| debug_ | g | 20:19 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new apt-get remove : removes uninstalls package --purge removes the configs and the package.. | 20:19 |
| mbai | kill by default doesn't send the SIGKILL signal. you can use -9 or -SIGKILL option. | 20:19 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: ok will try that | 20:19 |
| pedrocr | is there any easy way to create a memtest86 bootable USB drive? The startup disk creator doesn't like the memtest86 ISO files | 20:19 |
| ubuntu_new | CharlieSu: thanks will check it out | 20:19 |
| winut | just make an ubuntu live usb stick | 20:20 |
| glebihan | pedrocr, probably with unetbootin | 20:20 |
| Demon002 | mbai, probably a good call mate | 20:20 |
| BarkingFish | i think he said he'd already tried -9 | 20:20 |
| glebihan | mbai, he already used the -9 option | 20:20 |
| pedrocr | glebihan, will try, thanks | 20:20 |
| Demon002 | .... | 20:21 |
| mbai | Ubuntu IRC is pretty active (compared to some other distros). That's good. | 20:21 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: http://pastebin.com/ZE5RZUK9 If I have that right | 20:22 |
| Headoff | #headoff | 20:22 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new looks correct | 20:22 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: so I should remove linux-headers-2.6.35-22* linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic* ? It looks like kernel package | 20:23 |
| Demon002 | .. however it says it is not installed. Yeah but i doubt that's the issue | 20:23 |
| Label | Can anyone help me with wireless networking? I cannot connect back to my network after getting kicked off. | 20:23 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: lol but it is installed | 20:23 |
| fishscene | hmm... I'm trying to create a cron job that executes a script. At the end of this script, I have it echo some words to a text file on my desktop so that I know the job executed. However, VLC is not in my list of processes | 20:23 |
| Demon002 | apt doesn't seem to think so | 20:24 |
| Demon002 | did you install it as an rpm? | 20:24 |
| Demon002 | do you have yum installed? | 20:24 |
| GSF1200S_ | mbai: unfortunately, ubuntu has a much larger percentage of users that are new compared to those who know how to fix problems. Especially compared to, for example, the Arch and Gentoo IRC channels. Not hating on being new- just that it makes it harder for people to get solutions | 20:24 |
| jrib | fishscene: huh? | 20:24 |
| GSF1200S_ | fishscene: I followed right up until you mentioned VLC. | 20:25 |
| fishscene | jrib: here's the breakdown. Cron executes a #! /bin/bash script on my desktop. The script launches VLC and then dumps some text into a file. The text file shows up, but vlc does not. | 20:25 |
| jrib | !cron > fishscene | 20:26 |
| Label | Will someone please help me with wireless networking? | 20:26 |
| jrib | fishscene: see the section in the wiki about running gui applications from cron | 20:26 |
| glebihan | ubuntu_new, those are old kernels you can remove them safely, but your problem does not come from there | 20:26 |
| jrib | !wireless > Label | 20:26 |
| fishscene | What wiki? | 20:26 |
| mbai | Label: What's the problem. | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !details | Label | 20:26 |
| jrib | fishscene: see you private message from ubottu | 20:26 |
| Label | !wireless | 20:26 |
| Label | ??? | 20:26 |
| Pici | the bot isn't here... | 20:26 |
| fishscene | I did not get a private message from anyone | 20:26 |
| jrib | :/ | 20:26 |
| Pici | ubuntu_new: as the message says, you can: | 20:27 |
| Pici | ubuntu_new: as the message says, you can: Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. | 20:27 |
| ubuntu_new | It is making me crazy since yesterday :( even updates didn't fix it | 20:27 |
| ubuntu_new | I think it's broken | 20:27 |
| amalloy | what's the recommended way to disable automatic home-directory encryption? i've found a number of blog posts but nothing authoritative | 20:27 |
| glebihan | fishscene, cron won't be able to run a gui app | 20:27 |
| Demon002 | ok Ubuntu_new so you have 2 problems now... 1 the package manager says the package you are trying to uninstall doesn't exist and 2 you have a rogue process. | 20:27 |
| fishscene | glebihan: even if cron executes a script that can run the GUI? | 20:28 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: yes | 20:28 |
| RedNifre | Hello, world! | 20:28 |
| RedNifre | What's the best screen recording program? Would be nice if it also recorded what I spoke in the headset. | 20:28 |
| glebihan | fishscene, even in that case, the cron job is not run inside the gui environment and has no way to open an application in it | 20:28 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new the only plausable solution to me is that you have installed another package management system and it is installed there.. | 20:28 |
| jrib | !cron | fishscene | 20:29 |
| fishscene | ubottu isn't here.. I'm going to give this a spin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185993 | 20:29 |
| mbai | Demon002: the problem is probably a bug in transmission. try using some other torrent client, and report the bug to transmission. | 20:29 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: I don't understand you hmm, Transmission was installted by default there | 20:29 |
| rypervenche | RedNifre: I personally use ffmpeg with x264 | 20:29 |
| TheMatrix3000 | http://screencast.com/t/ySPnPv8jnz | 20:30 |
| TheMatrix3000 | anyone know what would cause that | 20:30 |
| BarkingFish | What's happened to ubottu? I can see at least one bot in here. | 20:30 |
| Demon002 | mbai, the bug explains the rogue process, but not the fact that apt doesnt know that the package is there.. | 20:30 |
| RedNifre | rypervenche thanks, I'll have a look at that | 20:30 |
| jrib | fishscene: you could just go to help.ubuntu.com/community and search for the cron page | 20:30 |
| Pici | Demon002: The package name is transmission-gtk, 'transmission' is just a metapackage that is normally installed by default. | 20:30 |
| iText | i was trying to copy some dict source files to /usr/bin/dict but i could not paste the copied files into the directory | 20:30 |
| Pici | Demon002: and --purge will not remove user configs in the user's home. | 20:31 |
| === mike is now known as Guest55577 | ||
| glebihan | fishscene, that should work but only if your desktop environment runs on the correct display (which will usually be the case) | 20:31 |
| tera___ | RedNifre, if you use FFMpeg you might need to check out pulse audio monitors and sinks if your going to also talk | 20:31 |
| Demon002 | Pici, are you sure? maybe i am thinking of dpkg? | 20:31 |
| Pici | Demon002: dpkg will not do that either. | 20:31 |
| fishscene | WIN! "01 04 * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/somedirectory/somecommand" in crontab did the trick! | 20:31 |
| mayonek | iText you prolly dint get permission | 20:31 |
| Demon002 | Pici... I'ma have to look that up, it wil bug me now. | 20:31 |
| iText | yes that i understood | 20:31 |
| Demon002 | Pici... will | 20:32 |
| fishscene | glebihan: Yea. VLC looks a bit different too, like it's using some outdated xterminal or something. But it works! and that's what counts. | 20:32 |
| iText | i am the sudo user | 20:32 |
| Guest55577 | Hi, I'm trying to control my parallel port; all the tutorials I can find include <asm/io.h>, but this just gives me "fatal error: asm/io.h: No such file or directory" does anyone know where it is or what to use instead? | 20:32 |
| mayonek | iText try from the terminal thing | 20:32 |
| iText | tried with sudo cp source dest, not working | 20:33 |
| Pici | Guest55577: looks like you need to make sure that you have your linux-headers package installed. | 20:33 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: Pici http://pastebin.com/AujRpGd2 same | 20:33 |
| Clerisy | my window titles and borders dissapeared and my mouse is an X? | 20:33 |
| `blackmk4 | what causes you to get a blinking line after the bios when trying to install ubuntu off a usb flash drive? | 20:33 |
| Pici | iText: /usr/bin/dict is a binary, not a path where you can copy things into. | 20:33 |
| Pici | ubuntu_new: that doesn't look the same to me. | 20:34 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new looks different to me too | 20:34 |
| iText | but i have to copy files to it, thats what the ~dict manuals sayf | 20:34 |
| ubuntu_new | linux-headers-2.6.35-22 linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic isn't it the same ? | 20:34 |
| Pici | iText: What are you trying to install? | 20:34 |
| rypervenche | RedNifre: Need a link and screencasting script that I made? | 20:34 |
| iText | dictonaries | 20:34 |
| === phantomcircuit is now known as Inc1tatus | ||
| glebihan | ubuntu_new, this doesn't matter | 20:35 |
| Pici | iText: which? There are a number of them in the repositories for dictd | 20:35 |
| glebihan | ubuntu_new, the important part is "The following packages will be REMOVED: transmission-gtk*" | 20:35 |
| === Inc1tatus is now known as phantomcircuit | ||
| iText | this is a sanskrit dic~tionary file | 20:35 |
| ubuntu_new | glebihan: ahh Yes I see it now | 20:35 |
| Demon002 | Pici --purge does remove the configs, you are incorrect | 20:35 |
| ubuntu_new | ok removed it but the process is still running hmm | 20:35 |
| ubuntu_new | maybe a reboot would do something | 20:36 |
| iText | i had already the gcide, wn and roby-thesaurus | 20:36 |
| Pici | Demon002: It does not remove per-user configs. it will never decend into a user's home to do so. | 20:36 |
| Pici | iText: Then you should drop the files in /usr/share/dictd/ then. | 20:36 |
| glebihan | Demon002, no he is correct... | 20:36 |
| Pici | iText: That is where the packaged dict packages put their files. | 20:36 |
| Demon002 | Pici oh, excuse me my mistake I'm talking about the package config files | 20:36 |
| glebihan | ubuntu_new, that's probably what you should do at this point | 20:36 |
| ubuntu_new | glebihan: ok brb | 20:37 |
| Demon002 | "-P or --purgeRemoves a package, including configuration files" Pici | 20:37 |
| jakdaemon | new ubunu yehas | 20:37 |
| iText | i will try that | 20:37 |
| ff | quit | 20:37 |
| Pici | Demon002: That is true. But something like transmission which relies fully on user configs for transmission-gtk, using --purge isn't going to make much of a difference... it can't hurt though :) | 20:38 |
| Demon002 | Pici, yeah, you're right =) | 20:38 |
| jamesw | is there an easy way to change all of my cpus into performance or power saving mode? the only way I know how is to add a bunch of different cpu frequency applets and control each one | 20:38 |
| Clerisy | my window titles and borders dissapeared and my mouse is an X? | 20:39 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new so purge the package, and find the config files in your home directory, it should be a "."(Dot) directory | 20:39 |
| Demon002 | and delete it too | 20:39 |
| iText | pici: sudo cp /home/bhanu/1 /usr/share/dictd/ #dosent worked | 20:39 |
| rypervenche | Clerisy: are you using compiz or metacity? | 20:39 |
| Demon002 | ubuntu_new Once you have completed deleting those files, IF the transmission program is still running, reboot your machine. Then reinstall transmission | 20:40 |
| glebihan | Demon002, ubuntu_new is gone for now (rebooting) | 20:40 |
| Demon002 | right. | 20:41 |
| salil | How do I install mysql-server source code in ubuntu? | 20:42 |
| glebihan | salil, you don't "install" source code | 20:43 |
| iText | Pici: i had given read permissions to files in 1 with chmod 644 *.* | 20:43 |
| BarkingFish | yay, ubottu's back :) | 20:43 |
| glebihan | salil, either you install the package, either you download the source | 20:43 |
| Clerisy | rypervenche» metacity | 20:43 |
| salil | glebihan: I believe you can use apt-get source ... How do I set that up? | 20:43 |
| rypervenche | Clerisy: Press alt+F2 then in the window type "metacity --replace" | 20:43 |
| rypervenche | Clerisy: If you have compiz, do "compiz --replace" | 20:44 |
| glebihan | salil, then you want to download the source : just run "apt-get source mysql-server" | 20:44 |
| Clerisy | rypervenche» my window border settings reset :S | 20:44 |
| salil | glebihan: Doesn't it require any URL additions to the sources file of apt? | 20:44 |
| Clerisy | now the close minus maximise are back on the left rypervenche | 20:44 |
| Clerisy | what could have done this? | 20:44 |
| glebihan | salil, yes you have to enable the source repositories, but I believe they are enabled by default (anyway apt-get will tell you if you don't have the required repos) | 20:45 |
| Demon002 | !Firewall | 20:45 |
| salil | glebihan: Thanks | 20:45 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 20:45 |
| glebihan | salil, you're welcome | 20:46 |
| salil | glebihan: Do I use sudo apt-get build-dep mysql-server to "install" all the stuff required to compile mysql-server from the sourc ecode/ | 20:46 |
| salil | *source code/ | 20:46 |
| salil | *? | 20:46 |
| glebihan | salil, that's right | 20:47 |
| Demon002 | salil and if you don't have all the dependencies you can find out what your are missing USUALLY with apt-cache unmet.. not sure if it works for sources though.. | 20:49 |
| jamesw | CPU performance switcher? is there an easy way to change all of my cpus into performance or power saving mode? the only way I know how is to add a bunch of different cpu frequency applets and control each one | 20:50 |

| glebihan | istevenmon, not sure... best way to know is to try | 21:02 |

| NewIRCuser42 | *alsamixer | 21:05 |
| BarkingFish | jessie - I do quite a lot of audio work on linux, and the best results I get are from audacity, it has a shedload of plugins for different things, DNR, High pass and low pass filters, it's pretty dang good. | 21:05 |
| jessie | BarkingFish: For things like multi-track recording? | 21:06 |
| BarkingFish | You can export in a load of different formats too, flac, ogg, mp3 (with lame), there's tons of stuff you can do with it | 21:06 |
| Demon002 | Jamesw hmm, how about this http://ubuntuguide.net/change-and-monitor-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu-11-04-with-indicator-cpufreq | 21:06 |
| BarkingFish | yep | 21:06 |
| BarkingFish | you can open multiple tracks from within it, I've mixed across 12 before with no difficulty | 21:06 |

| buzzcentral | How can I logout from terminal? | 21:10 |
| skinnymg1 | buzzcentral, exit | 21:10 |

| NewIRCuser42 | pyguy7, does your mic show up in either the sound preferences or alsamixer, or does it not show up at all? | 21:11 |
| Artemka25 | Hello everybody! Can anyone help me with a network applet in 11.04? | 21:11 |
| m_fulder | glebihan oh -f option? I was thinking something like * * * * * wget /var/www/myScript.php woudlnät that work to? ^^ | 21:12 |
| m_fulder | wouldn't * | 21:12 |
| skinnymg1 | might be f8 | 21:12 |
| urlin2u | Artemka25, applet/ask the question. | 21:12 |
| pyguy7 | NewIRCuser42 it seems to show up.. its built in to my laptop | 21:12 |
| skinnymg1 | can anyone tell me why they took yahoo messenger out off empathy, | 21:12 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, well it would probably as long as your php script is set as executable | 21:12 |
| pyguy7 | newIRCuser42 yeah it shows up everywhere | 21:12 |
| BarkingFish | it's strange, I must say - I think we had someone in the kubuntu channel yesterday who also couldn't get wifi off a BCM4318 | 21:12 |
| baldur- | Barkingfish i had the network card in another computer the other day and it worked fine there... I just put it back into that machine and its not working now :-/ | 21:12 |
| skinnymg1 | buzzcentral, idk then | 21:12 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, oh no that won't work | 21:13 |
| urlin2u | skinnymg1, does it matter why? | 21:13 |
| skinnymg1 | yes it does | 21:13 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, I didn't understand how you wanted you script to be called | 21:13 |
| Artemka25 | the question with the applet is that it does not remember profiles. Suddenly the applet stopped to remember profiles | 21:13 |
| whoever | hi all i have compiz but the "visual effects" tab does not show up under preferences | 21:13 |
| urlin2u | skinnymg1, whay? | 21:13 |
| buzzcentral | When I run gdmsetup and click unlock, nothing happens | 21:13 |
| urlin2u | why | 21:13 |
| whoever | can someone assist | 21:13 |
| skinnymg1 | its only the largest and most used messenger there is | 21:13 |
| m_fulder | hm glebihan I just want to run the php file :P won't wgeting run it to? ^^ | 21:13 |
| BarkingFish | baldur-, so the card is still detecting, but you can't get a net connection through it? | 21:13 |
| skinnymg1 | only idiots would do away with it | 21:14 |
| buzzcentral | Please someone help me to disable autologin for gdm or select classic gnome somehow. I have no unity menu | 21:14 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, well running it and calling it via apache are 2 different things | 21:14 |
| buzzcentral | When I run gdmsetup and click unlock, nothing happens | 21:14 |
| urlin2u | skinnymg1, what does this have to to with ubuntu other then your opinon? | 21:14 |
| baldur- | BarkingFish: No it doesnt connect to the router nor the internet | 21:14 |
| NewIRCuser42 | pyguy7, sorry, i can't help you further, i g2g, maybe someone else will help. | 21:14 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, I see you're using wget here, so I guess you want it to be called as if someone was accessing it through a web browser right ? | 21:14 |
| m_fulder | glebihan but all I want to do is just execute the file like once every hour :P .. isn't calling and running the same thing then? :P | 21:14 |
| BarkingFish | baldur-, tried with a different ethernet cable? | 21:14 |
| skinnymg1 | your right | 21:15 |
| m_fulder | glebihan yeah exactly | 21:15 |
| BarkingFish | sometimes eth cables can be notoriously dodgy, they can pack up at the drop of a hat | 21:15 |
| buzzcentral | Please someone help me to disable autologin for gdm or enable classic gnome somehow. I have no unity menu | 21:15 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, then it would be "* * * * * /usr/bin/wget http://localhost/myScript.php" | 21:15 |
| baldur- | BarkingFish: it works now... Something wrong with the ports on the router | 21:15 |
| BarkingFish | buzzcentral, we saw you, we're getting to you, please be patient :) | 21:16 |
| m_fulder | glebihan nice will try that on :D | 21:16 |
| urlin2u | buzzcentral, classic choice s at login. | 21:16 |
| BarkingFish | baldur-, did you try it in a different port on the router? | 21:16 |
| skinnymg1 | urlin2u, my opinion and my computer, I choose how it works and what I run on it, another loyal user lost here, thanks allot Ubuntu...... | 21:16 |
| m_fulder | glebihan will that run every hour to? sry Im kind of noob with the crontab times :P | 21:16 |
| urlin2u | buzzcentral, so logout fro the unity if you can | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | buzzcentral: /usr/bin/gnome-session-save --kill will log you off | 21:16 |
| buzzcentral | urlin2u: I have no unity menu currently | 21:17 |
| buzzcentral | ActionParsnip: Ok i will try it now | 21:17 |
| urlin2u | skinnymg1, don'y let the door hit you on the way out and grow up.:D | 21:17 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, to run it every hour use "0 * * * * /usr/bin/wget http://localhost/myScript.php" | 21:17 |
| BarkingFish | +1 to urlin2u | 21:17 |
| m_fulder | thanks glebihan trying it now :) | 21:17 |
| jessie | BarkingFish: So have you tried any tools like Ardour? | 21:17 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, you're welcome | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | m_fulder: if you have a desktop OS, you can use gnome-schedule to cron as root, use: gksu gnome-schedule | 21:18 |
| baldur- | BarkingFish : yes i did... Port 1 and 2 are working but port 3 and 4 dont work for anything dunno why | 21:18 |
| BarkingFish | jessie, no I haven't. I tend to stick with what I know works. I've been using audacity since about 2002ish, a year after I came onto linux | 21:18 |
| urlin2u | Artemka25, I don't know who you are I don't take pm's without a warning. | 21:18 |
| Artemka25 | m.. | 21:19 |
| m_fulder | ActionParsnip sry its not a desktop OS .. its server OS :( | 21:19 |
| BarkingFish | ok baldur- I'd maybe check the manual for your router and see if there's something in its web interface or setup you have to enable to get them to operate | 21:19 |
| fightling1 | hi | 21:19 |
| urlin2u | Artemka25, nor will I ever from you purple. | 21:19 |
| alexb_1 | hi all, I need to redirect emails from certain sender to different folders. Can it be done in icedove? any other program? thanks. | 21:19 |
| jessie | BarkingFish: I see. What hardware do you use with Audacity? | 21:19 |
| Artemka25 | so so i can rwpwat my question here? | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | m_fulder: i see, then you will need the crontab entry as glebihan gave. | 21:20 |
| baldur- | BarkingFish: got my friend on it who works at that ISP :) giving him hell :) thanks for the help | 21:20 |
| pyguy7 | ok i got the mic to work but theres is load buzzing noise | 21:20 |
| fightling1 | how can I restart gdm at the login screen with a keyboard shortcut? sounds silly. but i need to do this | 21:20 |
| BarkingFish | np baldur- best of luck to you :) | 21:20 |
| Artemka25 | urlin2u, the question with the applet is that it does not remember profiles. Suddenly the applet stopped to remember profiles | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | fightling1: CTRL+ALT+F1 then CTRL+ALT+F7 | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | fightling1: maybe | 21:21 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, you might also want to add the "-O /dev/null" option in order to prevent wget to actually save the result to a file | 21:21 |
| swerf | i have a recent linksys b/a wifi pci card, bios see's it, latest ubuntu doesn't...works ok in windows...am i out of luck? | 21:21 |
| BarkingFish | jessie: I have a STAC92 sound card built in on this laptop, but I do have other pieces of kit I use, such as a wireless noise cancelling mic, and external digital mixing stuff which I use for doing vinyl imports. | 21:21 |
| ex0a | ActionParsnip: that doesn't actually restart gdm though does it? | 21:22 |
| m_fulder | glebihan how do you mean it could save result? :O won't it just wget and then quit? :P | 21:22 |
| pyguy7 | NewIRCuser42 ok i got it working | 21:22 |
| fightling1 | ActionParsnip: no this doesn't work I also tried to reactivate Ctrl+Alt+Backspace but this seems to be not available at login screen | 21:22 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, wget retrieves the content of the given URL and saves it to a local file | 21:22 |
| jessie | BarkingFish: I see. I have a Alesis Firewire 16. Any firewire stuff? How does that work? | 21:22 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, that's it main purpose | 21:23 |
| m_fulder | ah yeah sry glebihan :P..so then maybe it would be better to just run the php file instead | 21:23 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, the option I just gave you would work fine | 21:23 |
| fightling1 | is there any way to define keyboard shortcuts that work at login screen? | 21:23 |
| zykotick9 | fightling1, ctrl+alt+f1, "sudo service gdm restart" - not exactly a keyboard shortcut --- try alt+sysrq+k | 21:23 |
| m_fulder | oki glebihan =) | 21:23 |
| BarkingFish | no idea, jessie, sorry. I don't have any firewire audio stuff. The only firewire I have anywhere in the house is my DV Camera | 21:23 |
| fightling1 | zykotick9: Can't use sysRq because this is a laptop :( | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | fightling1: could try ALT+K+PrintScreen | 21:24 |
| jessie | BarkingFish: Awesome, thanks! | 21:26 |
| fightling1 | ActionParsnip: PrintScreen is Fn+F11 so I have to press ALT+K+Fn+F11 which doesnt work :( | 21:26 |
| BarkingFish | np jessie :) | 21:26 |
| zykotick9 | fightling1, i think AP's suggestion was based on the fact that MOST systems sysrq is the printscreen button | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | fightling1: should do man, I have similar. Works ok. There is always the R E I S U B ting | 21:27 |
| TheMatrix3000 | anyone know how to fix this | 21:27 |

| ActionParsnip | Yossarian: ask and see :) | 21:32 |
| BarkingFish | TheMatrix3000, That looks like it could do with having a bug filed on it. If I see it correctly, you touch the applet to shutdown, and the choices vanish when you try to select one, yes? | 21:33 |
| swerf | ActionParsnip, inprocomm ipn2120 | 21:33 |
| TooMuchCaffeine | hello. few days ago after an update ubuntu one daemon started to use 100% CPU and leak memory a lot. i mean my 4gb ram and 4gb swap fill in within 5 min or so. is that a known issue? i've seen similar bugreports but that was for older version. Ubuntu 11.04 | 21:33 |

| Yossarian18 | sorry, empathy was failing me, so xchat, here i am | 21:38 |
| Yossarian18 | I have a question regarding hard drives | 21:38 |
| Yossarian18 | My esternal one is showing up, but I can't access it | 21:38 |
| Yossarian18 | external | 21:38 |
| Jim417 | yossarian18 < i relate | 21:38 |
| buzzcentral | How to move the buttons to the right side of the window titlebars? | 21:38 |
| salil | glebihan: I installed the source code and dependencies. When I do a ./configure I get this: "./configure: line 2159: config.log: Permission denied". It works if I use the root terminal though. The source code is in my home dir. | 21:38 |
| BarkingFish | Yossarian18, When you say you can't access it, what happens when you try? | 21:39 |
| buzzcentral | ActionParsnip: that command worked to logout btw, thanks a lot | 21:39 |
| Jim417 | whoz good with firefox autocomplete? | 21:39 |
| Yossarian18 | Well, I go to places, see the name for the hard drive, and click on it. Then nothing happens | 21:39 |
| Yossarian18 | I'm not sure how to try opening it through terminal | 21:39 |
| owner | why ubuntu does not detect anything i plug into my computer | 21:39 |
| BarkingFish | Jim417, We saw you the first time. Be patient and someone will get to you. | 21:39 |
| zykotick9 | Jim417, don't repeat your question every minute - if someone knows they'll answer. | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: seems to need ndiswrapper + 3 INF files from the Windows driver (and the obvious SYS file) http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/linksys-wmp11-121858/ | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | buzzcentral: np man | 21:40 |
| * zykotick9 wonders what autocomplete is for firefox | 21:40 | |
| Jim417 | all in red r bots? | 21:40 |
| BarkingFish | Yossarian18, the first thing obviously to check is - is the drive actually mounted? | 21:40 |
| zykotick9 | Jim417, no that's when your nick is included | 21:40 |
| buzzcentral | ActionParsnip: Now how can I put the X_- buttons on the right side of the titlebars? | 21:40 |
| swerf | ActionParsnip, it's booting, i'll check it in a minute. if i gotta go through all that bsht then i'll just get a different card..or try one of the *BSD's... | 21:40 |
| Yossarian18 | yeah | 21:41 |
| buzzcentral | Jim417: Red means it's a message with your nick in it | 21:41 |
| Yossarian18 | it is | 21:41 |
| BarkingFish | hm | 21:41 |

| BarkingFish | He's asked, urlin2u - we're trying to sort it :) | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | buzzcentral: there are literally THOUSANDS of how to guides online for that dude, you'll find one easily | 21:41 |
| Yossarian18 | terminal metacity --replace | 21:41 |
| Yossarian18 | try that | 21:41 |
| glebihan | salil, well I don't think I'm going to be able to help you there | 21:41 |

| buzzcentral | ActionParsnip: zykotick9: Thanks | 21:42 |
| glebihan | salil, I've never compiled it myself | 21:42 |
| BarkingFish | Yossarian18, do you know the drive allocation for it, if so can you try from the terminal to CD into it? | 21:42 |
| Yossarian18 | what do you mean about compiz? | 21:42 |
| owner | why ubuntu does not detect anything i plug into my computer? | 21:42 |
| salil | glebihan: Okies | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Yossarian18: if you run: metacity --replace then compiz will not be the WM and effects will cease. | 21:42 |
| swerf | ActionParsnip, wtf? lsb_release -sc spits out jaunty...that tells nothing about the chipset or if the pci bus or kernel is detecting it... | 21:42 |
| BarkingFish | does it appear in your /mnt or /media folders in your root area, Yossarian18? | 21:43 |
| swerf | lsmod maybe? | 21:43 |
| Yossarian18 | oh, did not no that | 21:43 |
| Yossarian18 | one second. Let me check | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: jaunty is no longer supported in any way | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: it tells us the release of ubuntu you have, yours has zero support | 21:43 |
| BarkingFish | ok | 21:43 |
| chalcedony | System > Preferences > Screen: Could not get screen information. RANDR extension not present. and to get to my left monitor i have to move the mouse to the right -ubuntu 10.04- | 21:43 |
| swerf | haha, it's easier to tell me jaunty isn't supported then if the release supports the chipset :P | 21:43 |
| ubuntu_new | Demon002: it didn't work :S are there any bug reports for this problem | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !eol | swerf either clean install at least lucid or upgrade to lucid | 21:44 |

| cheche | glebihan: some web application works fine on a firefox 3.5 | 21:46 |
| benjamin2hjgjzr_ | Hey guys | 21:47 |
| benjamin2hjgjzr_ | anyone play aqworlds.com? | 21:47 |
| cache_surplus | cheche: you can use what ever you want on linux. the question was how, correct? | 21:47 |
| glebihan | cheche, and they don't work on more recent versions ? | 21:47 |
| Ti-PrgmR | anyone know when ubuntu 11.10 is scheduled to be in beta stage? | 21:47 |
| qin | owner: In terminal: tail -f /var/log/dmesg and plug anything | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ownwhat are you plugging in? | 21:47 |
| cheche | glebihan: yes that is the problem | 21:47 |
| cheche | cache_surplus: well there is a firefox 3.5 package but contains a 3.6 build | 21:47 |
| BarkingFish | back, sorry about that | 21:47 |
| BarkingFish | Yossarian18, Have you been able to cd into the drive? | 21:48 |
| cache_surplus | cheche: just get source, and load it manually | 21:48 |
| owner | qin: tail: cannot open `/var/log/dmesg' for reading: No such file or directory | 21:48 |
| Yossarian18 | sorry, I'm trying to do this in class | 21:48 |
| Yossarian18 | It's FAT | 21:48 |
| cheche | cache_surplus: given that a binary for firefox 3.5 exist and was on the repositories, I wonder if I could use that one. | 21:48 |
| qin | owner: So: dmesg | 21:48 |
| BarkingFish | you should still be able to access it, I have fat drives running here. | 21:48 |
| glebihan | cheche, you have version 3.5 in the repos ? | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | owner: what devices are not being detected? | 21:49 |
| owner | qin: here is the output http://pastebin.com/P7GX0FBS | 21:49 |
| owner | ActionParsnip: any device, usb, external hard drive, mouse.......... | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | owner: is the USB activated in BIOS? | 21:50 |
| owner | ActionParsnip: i am not sure how to check? | 21:50 |
| zykotick9 | owner, if you are using "SUSE Linux" you should get support in there channel, it's not supported in #ubuntu | 21:51 |
| Yossarian18 | it's "cd /media/dev/sdb1" right? | 21:51 |
| zykotick9 | Yossarian18, probably not! | 21:51 |
| BarkingFish | Yossarian18, i don't think that would be it | 21:51 |
| glebihan | cheche, looks like you're going to have a hard time finding firefox 3.5 now, even on mozilla's website, they do not provide versions older than 3.6 | 21:52 |
| nghalion | Hello everyone> I need help with something. Can I ask my question here? | 21:52 |
| BarkingFish | you can by all means try it, Yossarian18 - it may give you access, I don't know | 21:52 |
| owner | zykotick9: i had ubuntu this morning and failed to solve this issue in ubuntu, then i switched to Suse and i fall in the same issue | 21:52 |
| swerf | "an ugprade from jaunty to lucid is not supported with this tool..." | 21:53 |
| BarkingFish | nghalion, if it's related to ubuntu, then sure :) | 21:53 |
| zykotick9 | owner, that's great - so if you want support HERE, reinstall Ubuntu then | 21:53 |
| swerf | so how do i update with the provided too......do-release-upgrade ?? | 21:53 |
| === chad is now known as Guest56105 | ||
| Yossarian18 | it didn't work | 21:53 |
| Yossarian18 | lol | 21:53 |
| owner | zykotick9: i am afraid to reinstall ubuntu and no body will be able to help | 21:54 |
| Yossarian18 | okay | 21:54 |
| Yossarian18 | got it | 21:54 |
| owner | zykotick9: you promise you will help ? | 21:54 |
| owner | zykotick9: or are you able to support ? | 21:54 |
| Yossarian18 | no error | 21:54 |
| BarkingFish | right Yossarian18 | 21:54 |
| zykotick9 | owner, so go ask in OpenSuse support then. I can't promise to be here, or that i can help with your issue! But you're currently not using a supported distro for this channel. | 21:54 |
| BarkingFish | can you type ls -a and see if the system gives you a list of the files present on the disk please? | 21:55 |
| BarkingFish | Yossarian18, ^^ | 21:55 |
| m_fulder | glebihan are you sure 0 * * * * is every hour? isn't that every minute? | 21:55 |
| Yossarian18 | yeah | 21:55 |
| cache_surplus | cheche: try this http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.6.21&os=linux&lang=en-US | 21:55 |
| Yossarian18 | it did | 21:55 |
| cache_surplus | oh he left... | 21:55 |
| m_fulder | glebihan or ah maybe that means always when minute reaches 00? | 21:55 |
| BarkingFish | right, so the drive is mounted and accessible - it's not giving you a listing in places though. | 21:55 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, yep each time minutes reach 00 | 21:56 |
| BarkingFish | I don't know ubuntu too well since I'm not a GNOMEite, but what is your default file manager? | 21:56 |
| swerf | how do i force jaunty to upgrade to the next release, instead of skipping like 3 of them? | 21:56 |
| owner | zykotick9: So if you are not able to help or dont want to help let people help | 21:56 |
| coz_ | nautilus on gnome | 21:56 |
| cache_surplus | for the next time someone asks and for reference: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html | 21:56 |
| coz_ | !upgrade | 21:56 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:56 |
| BarkingFish | thanks coz_ :) | 21:56 |
| coz_ | BarkingFish, no problem | 21:56 |
| Yossarian18 | nautilus | 21:56 |
| BarkingFish | Yossarian18, can you get access to the drive through nautilus? | 21:57 |
| zykotick9 | owner, you should stop waisting people's time - find support for the distro you use! NOT here. | 21:57 |
| * BarkingFish applauds heartily | 21:57 | |
| ActionParsnip | owner: reboot and access setup, make sure the USB ports are enabled | 21:57 |
| qin | swerf: 9.10 is also eol, amd 10.04 is LTS | 21:57 |
| qin | *and | 21:58 |
| baldur- | Any chance to install Ubuntu Server without using a cdroom or USB stick ? just directly from desktop ? | 21:58 |
| swerf | huh? it's the alternate install, no GUI, server. | 21:58 |
| coz_ | baldur-, if that is possible I dont know about it unless you use vmware or something | 21:58 |
| owner | zykotick9: see i am not waisting my time if you dont want to help there is always people want to | 21:58 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, i know you are trying to help (but supporting SUSE in this channel takes it a little too far) | 21:58 |
| tarelerulz | I running ubuntu 10.10 with h gforce 425 m video card and I can't get xbmc to play sound of my sony tv. anything | 21:59 |
| Yossarian18 | I'm looking, but I'm not exactly sure how I would find it in there. | 21:59 |
| m_fulder | glebihan ok great and now only where should I have added the -0 /dev/null option? like this: /usr/bin/wget -0 /dev/null http://myIP/myFile.php ? | 21:59 |
| baldur- | coz_: ohh... what about upgrading your current 8.10 ubuntu to a newer version ? (gives me an error when i try using the regular updater) | 22:00 |
| qin | owner: Do not poke, check your bios settings and hit openSuse channel, also use live session for tersing instead of installing. | 22:00 |
| qin | *teasting | 22:00 |
| coz_ | Yossarian18, if you open nautilus,, in the left column all drive should be listed there if they are recognized | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: who is using suse? | 22:00 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, owner | 22:00 |
| BarkingFish | Yossarian18, Give me a moment and I'll try and install nautilus - my kubuntu install is already a little gnomed anyhow | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: gotcha | 22:00 |
| coz_ | baldur-, well 8.10 would have to be update to 9.04 I believe first and so on | 22:00 |
| coz_ | baldur-, I forget if 8.10 is LTS | 22:00 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, that's right, except it's an O (letter) not a 0 (zero) | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: 8.04 and 10.04 are LTS | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: in between aren't | 22:01 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, thannks gusy :) its been a while | 22:01 |
| m_fulder | ah yeah hehe :P well thanks for your help :) I just runned my script manually and it worked just fine .. so I cross my fingers for 1AM now :P | 22:01 |
| Yossarian18 | BarkingFish, before you do that, let me try unmounting and mounting once more now that I know how to find it in terminal | 22:01 |
| m_fulder | @ glebihan | 22:01 |
| swerf | baldur-, no GUI, no desktop, all commandline. | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | owner: ask in the sus channel, this is ubuntu support dude | 22:01 |
| BarkingFish | so the next one which will go LTS will be 12.04, ActionParsnip? | 22:01 |
| coz_ | yes | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: indeed, simple ain't it :D | 22:02 |
| baldur- | coz_ yes and i when i press the upgrade to 9.04 it says extracting the upgrade failed | 22:02 |
| BarkingFish | lol | 22:02 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, you're welcome. I hope it works too | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: released in april (4th month) in 20(12) | 22:02 |
| coz_ | baldur-, that is the extent of the error? | 22:02 |
| fr0sted | finally got my wifi working last night, had to install the drivers manually, using the windows driver installer, lots of usb pen action going on lol! | 22:02 |
| BarkingFish | ah, so that's how you number your releases :) | 22:02 |
| owner | ActionParsnip: thanks buddy i think it a kernel issue | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: indeed, and 8.10 (for example) was released in October 2008 | 22:03 |
| BarkingFish | where I come from we used to just send out (year.1 or 2) | 22:03 |
| BarkingFish | so 2010.1, 2010.2, etc | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: makes knowing when releases are EOL waaay easier | 22:03 |
| Yossarian18 | I got it now. | 22:03 |
| Yossarian18 | I'm not really sure how, but it's working. | 22:03 |
| Yossarian18 | Thanks a lot for the help guys. | 22:03 |
| BarkingFish | absolutely no problem | 22:04 |
| Yossarian18 | And potential gals. | 22:04 |
| BarkingFish | if we couldn't help, we wouldn't be here :P | 22:04 |
| BarkingFish | :) | 22:04 |
| m_fulder | glebihan just one last question: I just edited the /etc/crontab and added my job last in the list..but now sould I restart the crontab somehow or will it work just after I save the file? :P | 22:04 |
| BarkingFish | nautilus actually looks quite nice, beats dolphin's layout any day. | 22:04 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, you should restart cron to make sure (use "sudo service cron restart") | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: I'm a pcmanfm guy, nice and fast | 22:05 |
| coz_ | BarkingFish, last I saw the beta dolphin looks a bit more like nautilus two pane window | 22:05 |
| Yossarian18 | I'm rather new to the whole linux thing, so it's all I've tried so far, lol. | 22:05 |
| m_fulder | great thanks again glebihan now just waiting :D | 22:05 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, btw if you used /etc/crontab, check that you didn't forget to specify the username who is supposed to run the script | 22:05 |
| BarkingFish | Yossarian18, I've been on linux for approaching 11 years, I only came to kubuntu about a month or two back, after deserting the sinking mandriva ship. | 22:06 |
| BarkingFish | It's a whole new ball game for me, since I've never used anything with gnome bits in it | 22:06 |
| m_fulder | glebihan I don't think I did :) : 0 * * * * root /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://myIp/mySite.php | 22:07 |
| coz_ | BarkingFish, wow cool,, welcome to the new yacht :) | 22:07 |
| Yossarian18 | I got a new laptop last year, set it up with dual boot Windows 7, and Ubuntu 10.10 | 22:07 |
| Yossarian18 | Deleted windows, and recently decided to try to understand ubuntu better | 22:07 |
| hylian | BarkingFish: what's causing mandriva to sink? | 22:07 |
| BarkingFish | aaargh! You used a bad word!!! lol | 22:07 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, that's good | 22:07 |
| coz_ | BarkingFish, ok welcome to the new cruise ship :) | 22:07 |
| BarkingFish | hylian, they're hemorrhaging developers like nobody's business | 22:07 |
| Yossarian18 | Holy shit, class is picking up. | 22:08 |
| Yossarian18 | Bye, and thanks. | 22:08 |
| hylian | BarkingFish: that's too bad, one of my fave old distro's... :( | 22:08 |
| BarkingFish | maintainers and a lot of the old users are deserting to go to mageia, a fork of mandriva started by a bunch of devs mandriva didn't want anymore | 22:08 |
| swerf | soooo, do-release-upgrade won't upgrade my system, what's the next alternate method with a system that has no usb, no cdrom, no monitor, and it's 30 miles away? | 22:08 |
| BarkingFish | hylian, I started on mandriva waaaay before it even thought of becoming mandriva, I joined at mandrake 9.2 | 22:09 |
| swerf | and i'm sitting at the cmd prompt via SSH? | 22:09 |
| glebihan | swerf, coming from jaunty, I would strongly suggest a fresh install | 22:09 |
| x0r | hey ubuntu/linux know it alls, what are these migration/ksoftirqd process's | 22:09 |
| x0r | I have 4 of them | 22:09 |
| coz_ | swerf, well,, not sure it is a good way,, but you could change /etc/apt-sources.list the name of the distribution to the next release | 22:10 |
| x0r | 0-3, apparently 1 for each core on my system | 22:10 |
| coz_ | swerf, for each deb line | 22:10 |
| swerf | i gotta try something, i won't be around it for another month... | 22:10 |
| swerf | what is the latest release name? | 22:10 |
| swerf | i'll give that a shot | 22:10 |
| badger32d | coz_ , swerf: that will break it. dist-upgrade is what you want | 22:10 |
| BarkingFish | The current is Natty Narwhal, swerf | 22:11 |
| BarkingFish | 11.04 | 22:11 |
| glebihan | swerf, this has no chance of working | 22:11 |
| debbie | Ok I followed the advice on website and now the wifi doesn't even sow up as an option on the list | 22:11 |
| keithb | swerf: probably a good idea to upgrade one reelase at a time rather than going for a big jump | 22:11 |
| badger32d | just changing the stuff in apt-sources.list is a great way to completely bork your system | 22:11 |
| debbie | I don't undrstand why this isn't easier | 22:11 |
| coz_ | badger32d, well dist-upgrade on ubuntu does not upgrade to the next release it only upgrades and replaces new libraries or newer version of applications | 22:11 |
| glebihan | swerf, did you have a look at the links that were given to you earlier about upgrading from an EOL release | 22:11 |
| glebihan | ? | 22:11 |
| flyback | what the hell happen to the sun-java packages that you could install for 11.xx | 22:12 |
| swerf | dist-upgrade isn't on the system.... | 22:12 |
| BarkingFish | debbie, so you followed all the stuff about installing the bcm43xx kit and it didn't work? | 22:12 |
| coz_ | flyback, did you enable the partner repositories? | 22:12 |
| debbie | yeah | 22:12 |
| BarkingFish | hm | 22:12 |
| flyback | same stuff I always used | 22:12 |
| badger32d | coz_: I'm a little fuzzy on the exact way to upgrade dist's via cli, but changing apt-sources is a horrible idea | 22:12 |
| BarkingFish | have you rebooted? | 22:12 |
| debbie | yeah | 22:12 |
| flyback | all of a suddent now it's telling me the packages are obsoleted | 22:12 |
| keithb | swerf: it is apt-get dist-upgrade | 22:12 |
| debbie | and whn i came back it doesn't say anything about wireless anymore | 22:12 |
| coz_ | badger32d, dyes that's why I mentioined it was not a great thing to do in so many words :) | 22:13 |
| BarkingFish | so you still have nothing under iwconfig? | 22:13 |
| debbie | lo no wireles | 22:13 |
| glebihan | flyback, sun has decided not to let linux distributions distribute their version of java anymore | 22:13 |
| debbie | eth0 no wireles | 22:13 |
| flyback | oh great] | 22:13 |
| debbie | shouldn't there be a third one there? | 22:13 |
| flyback | so the f***ers break my email | 22:13 |
| flyback | thx | 22:13 |
| BarkingFish | only if there's a wireless interface, debbie | 22:13 |
| swerf | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades says nothing about jaunty | 22:13 |
| debbie | well there was on windows | 22:13 |
| badger32d | coz_: i'm just saying its probably not something you want to reccomend - good way to break someones system and all. :) | 22:13 |
| debbie | and it shows up on lspci | 22:13 |
| BarkingFish | it would normally be something like lo, eth0, wlan0 or something like that | 22:14 |
| glebihan | flyback, you can still install those packages but not from the repos | 22:14 |
| flyback | where would I find them | 22:14 |
| debbie | wlan0 doesn't show up at all now | 22:14 |
| coz_ | badger32d, understood but all the things he has tried so far has failed for him | 22:14 |
| glebihan | flyback, on their website | 22:14 |
| BarkingFish | hold on a sec, debbie | 22:14 |
| badger32d | coz_: yeah, coming from 9.04 is quite a task - I'd also strongly reccomend a fresh install. | 22:15 |
| sh4d3sl4y3r_ | Hexcore VS Quad Core "More Clock Than the Hex" ; which would be better for compilations and video/ audio ripping ? | 22:15 |
| coz_ | badger32d, above all things a fesh install is the way to go for sure | 22:15 |
| coz_ | fresh | 22:15 |
| glebihan | swerf, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Jaunty | 22:15 |
| badger32d | truth | 22:15 |
| BarkingFish | debbie, Have you got the firmware installed for the card? | 22:15 |
| o0splitpaw0o_ | hi there I got a question.I have setup xorg to allow remote display of applications, now can I EXPORT that same app to run on a remote host in order for it to funtion. example using gsmartdata to run from a remote host as my "user" | 22:15 |
| BarkingFish | if not, try sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 22:16 |
| erkan^ | have bluefish 1.0.7 a Dutch language/ | 22:16 |
| erkan^ | ? | 22:16 |
| swerf | i can only upgrade one distro at a time? i can't go from 9x to 11x? | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: I'd clean install after a last full backup | 22:17 |
| BarkingFish | also, debbie - can you also do sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer please :) | 22:17 |
| coz_ | swerf, I believe that is the preferred methog yes but a clean install is the best approach | 22:17 |
| coz_ | method | 22:17 |
| swerf | omg..... | 22:17 |
| * swerf shakes his head... | 22:17 | |
| glebihan | swerf, no you will be able to jump from one lts to another though | 22:17 |
| swerf | i remember why i'm using freebsd for a filesever now... | 22:17 |
| swerf | and openbsd for a router | 22:17 |

| swerf | qin, yes | 22:17 |
| benjamin2hjgjzr | Hii | 22:17 |
| badger32d | swerf: also a reason I switched to arch. | 22:18 |
| coz_ | swerf, the advantage is clear with a clean install,,, any issues that arise can be sorted out most likely and not be attributed to the upgrade | 22:18 |
| benjamin2hjgjzr | DOES ANYONE PLAY AQWORLDS??????????????// | 22:18 |

| napz | Hi Guys, maybe you are interested in my community blog website for ubuntu. | 22:18 |
| badger32d | also - a fresh install would probably take less time than an upgrade... of course the whole remote thing is a problem | 22:18 |
| debbie | ok i installed the firmware installer | 22:18 |
| benjamin2hjgjzr | Does anyone play Aqworlds????? | 22:18 |

| BarkingFish | debbie, now you have the firmware installer for the bcm4318, you should be able to use the kernel driver for it. | 22:20 |
| BarkingFish | Give me a moment and I'll try to hunt it down for you | 22:20 |
| debbie | uh how do i do that? | 22:20 |
| swerf | sounds like a linux weakness.... | 22:20 |
| swerf | erm, a ubuntu weakness... | 22:20 |
| swerf | :) | 22:20 |
| zykotick9 | o0splitpaw0o, you can't have the same application open in two spots at the same time, no. For remote X, are you using SSH (not that it makes a difference, just curious)? | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: its not a rolling release, some distros are | 22:21 |
| badger32d | swerf: mostly ubuntu doesnt expect people to wait 2 years for a dist-upgrade ;P | 22:21 |
| keithb | swerf: can you upgrade from XP to win 7 with out a clean install? | 22:21 |
| badger32d | same reason you can't go from windows 98 to 7 | 22:21 |
| badger32d | hehe | 22:21 |
| swerf | keithb, haven't used microsoft in 15 years, i'm not sure. :) | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: touche | 22:21 |
| zykotick9 | badger32d, i don't think you're clear on what a dist-upgrade actually is... | 22:21 |
| keithb | swerf: hint: the answer is a two letter word | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | keithb: ZQ? | 22:22 |
| altice | does anyone have experience with "modprobe" ? | 22:22 |
| badger32d | zykotick9: I use that term in reference to switching distro's. but thanks. ;) | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | keithb: killer in scrabble :) | 22:22 |
| altice | I'm having trouble setting up an onboard Ethernet Controller | 22:22 |
| keithb | ActionParsnip: I didn't know you spoke Klingon | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | altice: what chip does it use? | 22:22 |
| urlin2u | keithb, XP to W7 is a fresh install. | 22:22 |
| altice | I've read a lot of info, nothing seems to be working | 22:22 |
| BarkingFish | debbie, If you go back to the page you were linked to earlier, you'll find the details there to install the bcmwl kernel source, which you need | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | keithb: boom! | 22:23 |
| qin | swerf: and you have installed update-manager-core? | 22:23 |
| BarkingFish | I'll link you back | 22:23 |
| swerf | i haven't used M$ since NT days. enough with this mess. i'll just wait, and put openbsd on it. | 22:23 |
| swerf | qin, yes. | 22:23 |
| zykotick9 | badger32d, and that's not accurate - dist-upgrade has nothing to do with updating versions of Ubuntu, it's a common misconception so don't add to the problem. | 22:23 |
| BarkingFish | debbie, go back here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20Internet%20access and go to the section on STA Internet Access | 22:23 |
| qin | swerf: So what is wrong with running do-release-upgrade in screen session? | 22:23 |
| altice | ActionParsnip: that's the weird thing about it. It says in "lspci" that there are two. Either way, one reports 3COM and the other is Applied Micro | 22:23 |
| badger32d | zykotick9: you obviously misunderstood me, anyways that wasn't my point. | 22:24 |
| BarkingFish | you've got the instructions there on how to get the driver from the kernel source | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | altice: can you give the full lines relating to the chips please, it will help us find guides | 22:24 |
| altice | ActionParsnip: yes of course. PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc IXP200 3COM 3C920B Ethernet Controller; Ethernet controller: Applied Micro Circuits Corp. Device 8139 | 22:25 |
| debbie | ok well i'm going to try to reinstall the bcmw | 22:26 |
| debbie | then after that it says to restart so hopefully maybe this'll work | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | altice: ok if you run: sudo modprobe xl is it ok? | 22:26 |
| urlin2u | keithb, if you have the .exe install for W7 it will run from XP and put XP in a old widows file, not bootable there though. | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | altice: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/xl.4.html | 22:27 |

| === protozoa is now known as billy | ||
| swerf | thx for the effort, honestly wasn't much help. lol. | 22:30 |
| glebihan | cheche, that gives me a 404 error too | 22:30 |
| coz_ | fr0sted, I prefer xchat | 22:30 |

| coz_ | fr0sted, some like pidgin for irc as well | 22:30 |
| swerf | qin, haha, whatever the channel supports... | 22:30 |
| fr0sted | ah ok thanks :) | 22:30 |
| swerf | no one will answer my questions unless i have a channel supported release | 22:31 |
| fr0sted | took me long enough to get the wifi sorted | 22:31 |
| glebihan | cheche, did you try to install that package ? | 22:31 |
| BarkingFish | sorry debbie, got distracted for a bit - yes, please reboot. | 22:32 |
| BarkingFish | Oh shostakovich. You already have :P | 22:32 |
| * BarkingFish headdesks | 22:32 | |
| qin | swerf: try to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change normal to lts, and see if this helps. | 22:32 |
| swerf | helps what? the tools to upgrade it over the network? | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | altice: not sure, looks ok | 22:33 |
| CurtLarson | I am running Natty and I just got cable internet but I can't get dhcp to discover anything which is strange because this little win laptop im on now isn't having any issues connecting. I have an e1000e builtin nic and the link goes up just fine but dhcpd is going in loops. avahi-autoipd jumps in after dhcp fails and sets up a local ip but no net. | 22:33 |
| swerf | or so lsb_release -sc spits out what everyone here wants to read? | 22:33 |

| === picolo is now known as Picolo | ||
| glebihan | cheche, ok that one works :), but did you get to install it ? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | altice: there may be a package which has the driver | 22:34 |
| keithb | Picolo: a small change :) | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: lsb_release -sc just outputs your releases codename | 22:35 |
| altice | ActionParsnip: how would I go about finding that :)? I've been working on this problem for a few days now. Reading forum posts and such | 22:35 |

| swerf | ActionParsnip, i was getting at the fact i should of just told you i had lucid or something so i could of started diagnosing my problem an hour ago :/ | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | altice: I'm sure there is a cheeky dpkg command to query the packages to find out, not sure of it though | 22:36 |
| swerf | a joke... | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: where is the joke? | 22:36 |
| altice | can anyone else help with an ethernet driver issue? | 22:36 |
| swerf | but it sounds like it's a cheap chipset. so, i figured i'd try and remotely upgrade this ubuntu box anyways, but it's turning into a F'in nightmare. | 22:36 |
| cheche | glebihan: the web application was working fine until i update ubuntu. I saw some pages that download binary from mozilla.org but I thought that it must be a way to keep the previous version | 22:37 |
| cheche | glebihan: I know that it was not security updates, but that was working for me. so i can take the risk | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: the upgrade notes show how to upgrade it | 22:37 |
| swerf | do-release-upgrade isn't supported. | 22:37 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, I believe it is a remote upgrade as well which I have not done | 22:38 |
| CurtLarson | I have tried adding the mac address to dhclient.conf to no avail. I am at wits end. network-manager doesn't show a wired connection when the cable is plugged in and I think this is because of the error i get that says that it's an unmanaged device and state connection forced when network-manager fisrt loads | 22:38 |
| glebihan | cheche, you may run into a few dependencies issues while installing that package... but anyway have fun :) | 22:38 |
| coz_ | swerf, you did say this is a remote upgrade ...yes? | 22:38 |
| cheche | glebihan: well that package was build for 10.04 so I guess that it should be ok to hold it. | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades shows how to do it | 22:38 |

| CurtLarson | am I asking this networking stuffs in the wrong channel? | 22:40 |
| swerf | qin, a do-release-upgrade => an upgrade from jaunty to lucid is not supported with this tool | 22:41 |
| swerf | that's exactly what it prints to the screen after checing for a newer version. | 22:41 |
| swerf | while also modifing theconfig file from nomral to lts | 22:41 |
| swerf | both have same results. | 22:41 |
| glebihan | swerf, you can't upgrade from jaunty to lucid, you have to go through karmic first | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | swerf: the guide I gave will let you upgrade from jaunty to Karmic, then karmic to lucid | 22:42 |
| urlin2u | roothorick, are you sure y=using a live thumb is what you need? | 22:42 |
| swerf | glebaron, i'm not trying to upgrade to anything specific, it's what the tool is trying to do. | 22:43 |
| === billy is now known as protozoa | ||
| swerf | and it's trying to do something it can't do :) | 22:43 |
| roothorick | urlin2u: I want a way to swap hardware in a system without confusing the installed OS (usually Windows). Bypassing the installed OS entirely seems like the best approach. | 22:43 |
| glebihan | swerf, and it tells you that because you modified your configuration to lts upgrades only | 22:43 |
| glebihan | swerf, not sure, maybe "do-release-upgrade -d" could work | 22:44 |
| swerf | glebihan, it prints out the same error whether it's configured as normal or lts. | 22:44 |
| urlin2u | roothorick, to vague a explanation to be honest. | 22:44 |
| glebihan | swerf, did you modify your software sources according to the link we gave you earlier ? | 22:44 |
| swerf | yes. | 22:45 |

| glebihan | CurtLarson, there's ubottu and also a lot of friendly non-bot people who could help you | 22:46 |
| glebihan | swerf, did you try "do-release-upgrade -d" ? | 22:46 |
| roothorick | urlin2u: basically, I want a way to test motherboards (and to a lesser extent, videocards) for latent instabilities without having to manually juggle drivers or continually reinstalling the OS | 22:47 |

| === lark is now known as Guest59149 | ||
| CurtLarson | I love talking to query bots tho .. sometimes it's easier to lookup the anser yourself | 22:47 |
| urlin2u | roothorick, what I think hyour saying is you want to try different distros to look for specific failure, is this correct. | 22:47 |
| roothorick | urlin2u: most of the systems brought to me are running Win7, which has a habit of EXPLODING if you change the motherboard on it | 22:47 |
| roothorick | urlin2u: I want to bypass the OS entirely to test for intermittent hardware failures | 22:47 |
| urlin2u | roothorick, using more then one distro, or OS? | 22:48 |

| BarkingFish | see ya | 22:49 |
| roothorick | urlin2u: my idea is to have an Ubuntu LiveUSB with all the drivers I need. Thus adding fglrx. | 22:49 |
| urlin2u | roothorick, why not do a full install, on the thumb? | 22:49 |
| roothorick | urlin2u: is that going to behave if I plug it into a different machine? | 22:50 |

| hylian | qin: in my first post, i asked for something other than server or minimal, so are you saying that's all there is? | 22:57 |
| zykotick9 | hylian, what do you want exactly? Minimal allows you to install only what you want. Lubuntu is a currently non-official *buntu using LDXE. What you actually want would help. | 22:58 |
| qin | hylian: Propably not. Just whanted to stress that you are free to use/remove X from your system. | 22:58 |
| hylian | zykotick9: i am looking for a whole distro, except desktop environment. minimal would not work, because the machine i am installing it on has not net. | 22:59 |

| qin | hylian: apt-cacher is ok for it. | 23:03 |
| zykotick9 | hylian, that's going to require more then just ../apt/archives Check out apt-on-cd or something. | 23:03 |
| bbbbbbbb | how do i find the mount point for my dvd drive | 23:03 |
| hylian | qin: yeah, that would work too. I usually do things the hard way, LOL. :_ | 23:03 |
| zykotick9 | bbbbbbbb, if it's currently mounted in a cli "mount" | 23:03 |
| bbbbbbbb | zykotick9: what? | 23:04 |
| qin | bbbbbbbb: In terminal: mount | 23:04 |
| zykotick9 | bbbbbbbb, your cd/dvd mounted? | 23:04 |
| Rolo | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CZNMJvMH <-- How would I go about fixing this error? | 23:04 |
| hylian | zykotick9: actually, my way works, if the systems are using the same version, and I keep them both up to date. I do it on a fairly regular basis. i do everything the wrong way... I am a scary net engineer. | 23:05 |
| bbbbbbbb | zykotick9: yeah it is mounted. and its at /dev/sr0. thanks | 23:05 |
| zykotick9 | bbbbbbbb, that's the device name, not the mount point | 23:06 |
| bbbbbbbb | oh | 23:06 |
| altice | Does ANYone know where I would go to find drivers for my ethernet card? | 23:06 |
| zykotick9 | hylian, but how do you get the apt database without network? I understand the packages are easy enough. | 23:06 |
| bbbbbbbb | zykotick9: wheres the mount point then | 23:07 |
| zykotick9 | bbbbbbbb, /media/SOMTHING probably | 23:07 |
| hylian | zykotick9: i run a ethernet cable 58 feet from the source. you get scary things like this when you underpay a computer repair tech to be a net engineer because your cheap and can't afford a real one, LOL | 23:08 |
| zykotick9 | hylian, so you COULD use minimal then... | 23:08 |
| bbbbbbbb | but it only shows when i have a disk inserted and then its /media/DISKNAME | 23:08 |
| === PlzDontHckMe is now known as MinthyFresh | ||

| tony_ | lol | 23:09 |
| tony_ | z | 23:09 |
| bbbbbbbb | zykotick9: but i need the mount point like /media/cdrom to tell wine where to look for the drive | 23:09 |
| zykotick9 | bbbbbbbb, what is your REAL question/issue perhaps? | 23:09 |
| zykotick9 | bbbbbbbb, the "drive" is the device so /dev/sr0 - mount points only apply when something is in the drive | 23:10 |
| bbbbbbbb | oookay | 23:10 |
| m_fulder | glebihan my crontab job didn't work..but I think there was some error with my link because when I tried to run it manually I got the html ERROR 404 Not Found | 23:11 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: i think i get what you mean. you are trying to make a drive look like a cdrom, for the sole purpose of wine? | 23:11 |
| qin | hylian: Still apt-cache works over http or ftp and can be used on any machine in lan, since most of updates are done at downtime anyway. | 23:11 |
| hylian | qin: yeah, it's just that his internet is so very slow. i can handle it. thanks though. | 23:11 |
| m_fulder | glebihan so instead I tried to change the url to direct local directory instead /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null /var/www/myScript.php and run it manually but then I get the error message: /var/www/myScript.php: Scheme missing. :D | 23:11 |
| bbbbbbbb | hylian: no, i want to access a real dvd drive with a wine application | 23:12 |
| m_fulder | :(* | 23:12 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: and wine says that it is not a dvd/cd? i guess i don't get what's happening. | 23:12 |
| roothorick | is there a way to blacklist drivers when autodetecting hardware? | 23:12 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, as I already said that last solution cannot work | 23:12 |
| m_fulder | ah you did :O | 23:13 |
| m_fulder | didn't see that .. my irc client closed :/ | 23:13 |
| bbbbbbbb | hylian: no, the program doesnt recognize the drive at all | 23:13 |
| bbbbbbbb | its dvdshrink btw | 23:13 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: i see. what is the program? | 23:13 |
| roothorick | actually, a primer on Ubuntu internals regarding hardware detection would be really nice | 23:13 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, what you could try is "/usr/bin/php -f /var/www/myScript.php" (but that depends on what exactly you script does) | 23:13 |
| m_fulder | my script updates some mysql tables | 23:14 |
| bbbbbbbb | hylian: DVDShrink | 23:14 |
| Pendelton | hello all, havnt used irc in about 15 years, but got a few questions about web development and was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction (server/channel)...? | 23:14 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, by that I mean that it depends on whether it requires to be through a web server or not | 23:14 |
| zykotick9 | bbbbbbbb, in the long run you'd be better served by finding replacements for your windows applications rather then relying on the cruch of wine | 23:14 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: let me take a look at this for you, how old is the cd/dvd player? | 23:14 |
| Rolo | Anyone? | 23:15 |
| roothorick | Pendelton: 15 years?... 1996? You'll find not a whole lot has changed... | 23:15 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, well try that last command manually, if it works put it in your crontab and change the time for it to run at 1:20 so you won't have to wait until 2 | 23:15 |
| coz_ | Rolo, sorry I didnt see your initial post | 23:15 |
| Rolo | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CZNMJvMH <-- How would I go about fixing this error? | 23:15 |
| Citizenwarrior | When is /boot accessed after the system is fully loaded? -- I ask because I am thinking about doing a FULLY encrypted installation with /boot on a USB drive. I want to know if it can remove the /boot USB drive after the systems is up... Think wearing the "key" to my computer around my neck | 23:15 |
| m_fulder | glebihan hehe yeah but it didn't work :/ I got the error message No such file or direcory :( | 23:15 |
| Pendelton | well, i forgot how to efficiently navigate | 23:15 |
| bbbbbbbb | zykotick9: sure, but i have not yet found a program that rips dvds as fast and effective as dvdshrink | 23:16 |
| Pendelton | i just need to find a web developer's channel | 23:16 |
| m_fulder | glebihan: /usr/bin/php: No such file or directory | 23:16 |
| Pendelton | or someone that can answer a few questions i have about coding an idea | 23:16 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, is php installed on your system ? if so what does "whereis php" say ? | 23:16 |
| bbbbbbbb | hylian: brand new inside a brand new notebook. works fine elsewhere | 23:16 |
| grendal-prime | hey guys | 23:17 |
| zykotick9 | bbbbbbbb, check out Handbrake (if you haven't already) & you want either MP4 or MPV output | 23:17 |
| zykotick9 | s/MPV/MKV/ | 23:17 |
| m_fulder | glebihan I have a apche2 server installed on that comp but don't think I have a php client .. whereis php say: php: | 23:17 |
| m_fulder | should I install like php5-cli? :P | 23:17 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, yes | 23:18 |
| coz_ | Rolo, not s ure about that error I will let someone else pick up on that | 23:18 |
| bbbbbbbb | zykotick9: i mostly don't care about the output since i usually just rip my originals once to watch them on the notebook and then delete them - but i will check it out, thx | 23:18 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: i did research this problem, unfortunately, it may be a no go. Here's the explanation as to why: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1553268 | 23:18 |

| m_fulder | sucess! :D thanks again glebihan will try adding it to crontab now ... but how should I make it run 01:20 or something? just write 01 20 * * * * ? | 23:20 |
| bbbbbbbb | hylian: i know it works perfectly in my desktop, i don't see why it won't run on the laptop | 23:20 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, did the command work ? | 23:20 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: there are alternatives to dvd shrink, this page lists quite a few, perhaps one of those could suit your needs, http://www.linuxalt.com/ (look a ways down for dvd shrink) | 23:20 |
| Citizenwarrior | When is /boot accessed after the system is fully loaded? -- I ask because I am thinking about doing a FULLY encrypted installation with /boot on a USB drive. | 23:20 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, no that would be "20 * * * *" | 23:20 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: in the same situation, under linux, running wine? | 23:21 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, or let's say 25 now since it's already 20... | 23:21 |
| bbbbbbbb | yes | 23:21 |
| m_fulder | yeah hehe :P will try that | 23:21 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, that way it'll run every hour when minutes reach 20 | 23:21 |
| glebihan | *25* | 23:21 |
| bbbbbbbb | i remember having the same issue - only i dont remember the solution ^^ | 23:21 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, don't forget to restart cron once you're done modifying the crontab | 23:22 |
| m_fulder | yeah done that :) | 23:22 |
| m_fulder | yeah I kind of understand the minutes attribute in crontab now :) | 23:22 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, just have to wait a few minutes then :) | 23:22 |
| m_fulder | yepp :D | 23:22 |
| bbbbbbbb | afk | 23:24 |
| tony_ | lol a freaking kid | 23:24 |
| m_fulder | yay! I can see it running in htop :) thanks a lot glebihan! :D | 23:24 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: sorry, my net is being slow, i think i can solve this, brb | 23:24 |
| glebihan | m_fulder, you're welcome | 23:25 |
| m_fulder | gotta go get some sleep now gnight =) | 23:25 |

| m_fulder | have to go to school tomorrow to :/ blah | 23:26 |
| roothorick | you know what? I was doing it wrong. I had a LiveUSB with a persist file, and I tried just installing fglrx on that while booted into it... worked! I've got the tool I want now. | 23:26 |
| tony_ | lol i have school on tues day :( | 23:27 |
| tony_ | hate school | 23:27 |
| jef91 | I'm trying to repackage some software and I can't figure out which package contains the command "dh_python2" anyone know? | 23:28 |
| Rolo | So nobody knows a solution to my problem? | 23:29 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: ok, i think i might have an answer. it looks like you have to create a symlink in ~/.wine/dosdevices for the cd/dvd, and the update wineconfig. | 23:29 |
| roothorick | Rolo: you have a failing hard drive. Back up everything you can and replace it ASAP. | 23:30 |
| Rolo | And you're positive of this? | 23:30 |
| roothorick | Rolo: a "Medium error" means there was a problem physically reading the disk. It can mean bad media in the case of a removable drive (e.g. DVD-ROM) but on straight-up hard drives it can only mean one thing. | 23:31 |
| Rolo | I seem thanks | 23:31 |
| Rolo | *see, | 23:31 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: hello>? | 23:31 |

| jetscreamer | br probably | 23:49 |
| Success | not done yet | 23:49 |
| Success | its going slow | 23:49 |
| jetscreamer | ok pt then | 23:49 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: this link suggests that you need to first make symlinks to your wine directory, and then to set up wineconfig.. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=77876 | 23:49 |
| sarkis | hey guys, so when i open gnome-terminal this is a non-interactive session? so .bash_profile will not be sourced?/ | 23:49 |
| cheche | jetscreamer: they are very similar languages | 23:49 |
| aguimaileoziel | mas eu digitei isso ai | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Success: when you install apps and updates, the old debs get put in /var/cache/apt/archives these don't get cleaned automatically by default, the command cleans the cache out | 23:49 |
| jetscreamer | yeah but you can tell the diff | 23:49 |
| jetscreamer | sometimes | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Success: over months of updates it can easily grow to Gbs of data you simply don't need | 23:50 |

| zahh | if I add the Backtrack repo to an AMD Ubuntu will "apt-get" install AMD compatible stuff only? | 23:52 |
| zahh | or everything. | 23:52 |
| akerl | zahh: That's a bad idea | 23:53 |
| akerl | Don't do that. | 23:53 |
| zahh | akerl: What would happen? | 23:54 |
| rypervenche | zahh: A lot of bad. | 23:54 |
| akerl | zahh: Firstly, there really isn't "AMD only" and "Intel only" stuff | 23:54 |
| aguimaileoziel | caramba | 23:54 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: you need to check your fstab file. it's in /etc/. fstab will show it like this: /dev/sda5 (my dvd drive) | 23:54 |
| zahh | I figured | 23:54 |
| aguimaileoziel | como faço pra entrar | 23:54 |
| aguimaileoziel | alguém me ajude | 23:54 |
| akerl | Especially in the subset of stuff which is different between Ubuntu and Backtrack | 23:54 |
| fremen_ | hello everyone | 23:54 |

| zahh | Its not an x686 processor but most of the packkages are made for them. | 23:55 |

| aguimaileoziel | urlin2u, mas ja digitei, e não da certo | 23:55 |
| akerl | zahh: A) There are no "AMD repos". B) That will break your system | 23:56 |
| zahh | I see | 23:56 |
| urlin2u | aguimaileoziel, if you speak english we can help. | 23:56 |
| zahh | How does it become broken and what are my options | 23:56 |

| hylian | bbbbbbbb: your fstab isn't in /etc? if you type sudo gedit /etc/fstab in terminal, what comes up | 23:56 |
| akerl | There's a whole faq answer for that | 23:56 |
| akerl | zahh: What are you trying to accomplish? | 23:56 |
| zahh | cool thanks | 23:56 |

| bastidrazor | !gksudo | hylian | 23:57 |
| enyck | привеееет!!! | 23:57 |
| ubottu | hylian: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 23:57 |
| roothorick | Success: you could try the "fglrx" driver but it brings its own set of issues (mostly instability and some hideous compositing artifacts) | 23:57 |
| roothorick | Success: basically, ATI and Linux don't mix very well | 23:57 |
| zahh | I just wanted to have the ability to download anything availabile in Backtrack with "apt-get" using ubuntu | 23:57 |
| zahh | just tools and programs | 23:58 |
| chalcedony | roothorick, how can i tell which video drivers i have? | 23:58 |
| Success | why not | 23:58 |
| zahh | not a kernels or distro-specific stuff | 23:58 |
| Success | does that mean im stuck with windows if i want my graphics card to work right? | 23:58 |
| hylian | bastidrazor: right i forgot.. sorry | 23:58 |
| roothorick | Success: the ATI-driver-for-Linux situation is pretty bleak. AMD is desperately trying to phase out fglrx, but the alternative, DRI, is simply *not ready*. | 23:59 |
| chalcedony | Success, there really are ubuntu drivers or workarounds for most video | 23:59 |
| akerl | zahh: Why not just run backtrack? | 23:59 |
| hylian | bbbbbbbb: did you see my post on fstab, did that command load fstab? | 23:59 |
| akerl | Or download the same tools either from their source or the ubuntu repos | 23:59 |
| Success | so how do i install fglrx | 23:59 |
| zahh | I already have a well-configured system | 23:59 |
| bbbbbbbb | yes | 23:59 |
| zahh | I just want extend it | 23:59 |
| Success | sudo apt-get install fglrx | 23:59 |
| Success | ?? | 23:59 |
| fremen_ | again, hello everyone, i need to reach my previous writing logs on this channel asap, i require it for my summer internship report. can i reach them ? is it possible ? | 23:59 |
| bbbbbbbb | only the drive isnt in there | 23:59 |
| akerl | The problem is that lots of the backtrack stuff is configured to work together, and thus you can't just get part of the deal | 23:59 |
| akerl | zahh: Live USB ftw | 23:59 |
| zahh | ah | 23:59 |
