| Darth_Tux | ChogyDan: really? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Stanley00 | Darth_Tux: yes | 00:00 |
| vic20gmr | Polah i have a dualboot sytem, and i want to reduce the windows partiton in order to give it to my ubuntu install, does this help clear up what i mean? | 00:00 |
| doodmang | Darth_Tux, it's probably best not to. Usually you scroll vertically, so you generally need the vertical space | 00:00 |
| Stanley00 | Darth_Tux: you cant do that. | 00:00 |
| Darth_Tux | okie then | 00:00 |
| ChogyDan | doodmang: Darth_Tux: http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity | 00:00 |
| poppler | hello there | 00:01 |
| Polah | vic20gmr: Oh, in that case that's easy. You'd need to boot into Windows, back up your data and then resize that partition to make it smaller using Windows' disk management tool, then back up the data on your ubuntu partition, boot a LiveCD and extend your Ubuntu partition into the free space left by the Windows partition. | 00:01 |
| Stanley00 | vic20gmr: then, why dont you decrease window partition, and then increase ubuntu partition? | 00:01 |
| poppler | I'm on 11.04 and while everything in the system is localized in my language, firefox is still in english... any idea? | 00:02 |
| doodmang | ChogyDan, alright, I'll look into it after updating. Thanks | 00:02 |
| doodmang | poppler, you could try creating a new profile? | 00:02 |
| poppler | ah, that could be it doodmang, lemme try | 00:02 |
| Stanley00 | poppler: try find it in language support tool, it will install add in lang for you. | 00:03 |
| poppler | ok Stanley00, thanks. Language support tool is something I can type in the dash, right? | 00:04 |
| vic20gmr | Stanley00 the last time i tried a non-destructive change [i think i tried to make it smaller] of an ubuntu partiton it did not go so well, btw i found a great non-destructive partitioning app for winXP and newer , EASEUS partitoning | 00:04 |
| Stanley00 | poppler: yeeap | 00:04 |
| poppler | ok lemme see, thanks for the input | 00:04 |
| === BarkingFish is now known as Guest72254 | ||
| Polah | vic20gmr: Resizing a partition will always be destructive if data is left outside the partioned space. You should back up your data and defragment your Windows drive before resizing, as fragmentation would increase the risk of more files being damaged. | 00:05 |
| vic20gmr | Stanley00 also, to make sure i get it right, what is the name of the ubuntu app i should be looking for in order to do the non?-destructive partitiong increase [10.10 maverick] | 00:05 |
| === OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish | ||
| ChogyDan | vic20gmr: gparted? | 00:06 |
| Stanley00 | vic20gmr: Ubuntu livdCD come with gparted, as I know | 00:06 |
| glisstech | Polah: Wouldn't using gparted from a LiveCD work for that? | 00:06 |
| Polah | vic20gmr: gparted, it's already on the LiveCD which you'll need to boot to resize your system partition | 00:06 |
| Polah | glisstech: gparted could resize the Windows partition, but NTFS tools are typically better in Windows so I'd defrag and resize from Windows and then switch to resize ubuntu | 00:07 |
| jetscreamer | it's going to destruct something, just hopefully not that partition.. yes gparted parted all say they can resize safely | 00:07 |
| vic20gmr | Polah im less worried about individual files being damaged on my windows parttion, and ive used EASUS to resize a windows partiton in the past without any problems, and without having defragmenting the drive, it moves the data as it resizes the windows partition | 00:07 |
| jetscreamer | well same thing diff front end but | 00:07 |
| ChogyDan | glisstech: another benefit of defragging before repartitioning is that it will make the repartitioning step go allot faster | 00:08 |
| Polah | vic20gmr: Ah, if it moves the data then that's okay then, but defragging would increase performance anyway so I'd suggest doing that regardless | 00:08 |
| zykotick9 | Is this now #ubuntu/##windows? Defragging... | 00:08 |
| vic20gmr | Polah would i need to do [is it even posible?] a defrag of the ubuntu partiton? | 00:09 |
| glisstech | ChogyDan: I agree with defragging...but have had better luck and faster results using gparted to rearrange partitions even on NTFS drives | 00:09 |
| Stoopit | Erfolg, i found a distro for it that seems nice :) and its specifically aimed at this device | 00:09 |
| Stanley00 | vic20gmr: Ubuntu use ext4 fs by default, and as I know, ext4 doesnt need defrag | 00:10 |
| Polah | vic20gmr: I don't know how Linux and the various filesystems handle fragmentation | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !defrag | 00:10 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 00:10 |
| vic20gmr | Stanley00 i used ext3, it seems to me i read somewhere that is nesseccary in order to dualboot windows, i cant remeber for sure my reason otherwise, i assume ext3 is same in that regard? | 00:11 |
| zykotick9 | Defragging any EXT partition is easy - copy all the data to a different drive, reformat the drive, copy it all back - easy ;) | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | ext4 is not neeede to dual boot with windows.. :) | 00:11 |
| vic20gmr | Dr_Willis i said ext3, is that what you meant? | 00:11 |
| iridium | @.@ | 00:11 |
| Stanley00 | I think ext3 is same as ext4 | 00:11 |
| vic20gmr | ok | 00:11 |
| ChogyDan | Dr_Willis: is that page really correct? I thought the defrag issue was because of inodes... | 00:12 |
| glisstech | vic20gmr: using piriforms defraggler to perform an offline defrag beforehand will do a much better defrag than the built in Windows defrag | 00:12 |
| KingFisher | I installed a mysql-server on my computer using ubuntu and when I enter "mysql -u root" to set a root password i get this: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) | 00:12 |
| Polah | ext4 is the next version of ext after 3, it has a few improvements here and there | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | you can dual boot with ext2/3/4/ or the other fss. | 00:12 |
| KingFisher | I just installed mysql and a mysql-server on my ubuntu computer | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Now booting with Raid can get picky... | 00:12 |
| KingFisher | So I have no idea why its not working | 00:12 |
| vic20gmr | thank you all or the input, ill look at that defraggler, thanks again | 00:12 |
| Polah | KingFisher, root password shouldn't been set while installing mysql-server | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ChogyDan: no idea if its correct.. ive never worried about it. :) | 00:12 |
| KingFisher | Polah, I already installed it | 00:12 |
| poppler | Stanley00: actually this is weird, if I launch firefox from the dash it starts up in english, if I start it up from a terminal it's in my locale... hints? | 00:12 |
| Polah | KingFisher: And you didn't get a prompt for the root password? | 00:13 |
| KingFisher | Polah, No. I am trying to do that right now. | 00:13 |
| zykotick9 | Polah, s/shouldn't/should HAVE/ | 00:13 |
| Stanley00 | poppler: try remove firefox from launcher, start it in terminal, keep th new one | 00:13 |
| poppler | aaah right, let's try | 00:13 |
| Polah | zykotick, KingFisher: Yeah, root password SHOULD HAVE been set during install | 00:13 |
| KingFisher | Polah, how would I do that during install ? | 00:14 |
| KingFisher | sudo apt-get install mysql-server -p root? | 00:14 |
| joao_ | Hi, I can't see my pocketpc in virtualbox through usb | 00:15 |
| joao_ | I can see my blackberry fine, but not pocketpc..screw windows! | 00:15 |
| poppler | Stanley00: it worked! apart from the fact that, the terminal launched firefox has no icon in the launcher, just a question mark | 00:15 |
| ChogyDan | KingFisher: have you tried using your `sudo` root password as the mysql root password? | 00:15 |
| joao_ | well, unfortunately I have to still work with windows on my daily job | 00:16 |
| Polah | KingFisher: Did you use apt-get to install it? | 00:16 |
| Polah | Kingfisher: No, after doing apt-get install mysql-server it should prompt you to define a root password. Consider purging and reinstalling mysql-server | 00:16 |
| poppler | Stanley00: not that this is a problem for me, it's just that I'm setting the system up for a new user and want it to be right | 00:16 |
| KingFisher | ChogyDan, Yeah. Even when I just enter "mysql" into terminal I get the same error. | 00:16 |
| joao_ | VBoxManage list usbhost does not list the pocket pc... | 00:16 |
| Stanley00 | poppler: well, in that case, try launch firefox from dash... I hope | 00:16 |
| zykotick9 | KingFisher, are you sure mysql is actually running? You wouldn't be able to set the p/w if it isn't - and the error says can't connect | 00:16 |
| poppler | Stanley00: worked | 00:17 |
| KingFisher | Polah, I purged it a couple times already and installed it again. | 00:17 |
| poppler | Stanley00: it works, I don't know what happend but works, thanks a lot! | 00:17 |
| Polah | KingFisher: And it never prompts you for a password during install? | 00:17 |
| Stanley00 | poppler: you are welcome :D | 00:18 |
| ChogyDan | KingFisher: `service mysql status` | 00:18 |
| KingFisher | Polah, not once. ChogyDan: mysql stop/waiting is the status but I have tried /etc/init.d/mysql start/restart | 00:19 |
| ChogyDan | KingFisher: what about sudo service mysql start | 00:19 |
| Polah | KingFisher: Strange, do sudo service mysql restart | 00:19 |

| objorn | I'm afraid it might mess up my current qt and kde libs | 00:23 |

| doodmang | ChogyDan, paranoia for security | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | doodmang: you could write 0s to the partition at reboot/shutdown. It will massively increase the shutdown time. If the drive is flash based then it will greatly shorten the drives life | 00:50 |
| ChogyDan | doodmang: obviously the fastest would be to not use swap. But maybe you could encrypt swap? | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | doodmang: it contains segments of RAM which have been swapped out when you exhausted your RAM, the data is not very intelligent without special software | 00:51 |

| zykotick9 | doodmang, 5GB of swap for 1GB RAM seems ludicrous | 00:58 |

| joao_ | type the command "top" in the terminal | 01:04 |
| doodmang | joao_, oh. Well, I just meant I don't look at the RAM I use, and I don't really plan on doing so | 01:05 |
| joao_ | I like better "htop" which is not installed by default in may ubuntus | 01:05 |
| zykotick9 | doodmang, using "free" from a terminal will tell you memory usage directly | 01:05 |
| doodmang | zykotick9, that doesn't necessarily tell me the max amount of memory I use | 01:06 |
| leini | he | 01:06 |
| joao_ | doodmang, there are many commands but I use top/htop to see what is hogging my eeepc sometimes | 01:06 |
| th0r | doodmang: if you want to keep a running tab on memory usage consider using something like conky or gkrellm | 01:07 |

| vboxw | zykotick9, sri. That seems to cause all the windows to flicker - the terminal does show the window under it, but the desktop is locked. have to restart gdm to log back on | 01:18 |
| zykotick9 | vboxw, you obviously don't have a working compiz - thus no "true" transperency | 01:18 |
| Kim | how do i change the color depth to 24bit when xorg.conf already says its 24bit. but it is clearly only 8 bit? | 01:19 |

| zykotick9 | vboxw, humm, i'm surprised it's nvidia - i've always had great success with them. Sorry, I don't know what to suggest - best of luck. | 01:21 |
| vboxw | zykotick9: nvidia driver 270.41.06 | 01:21 |
| Braber01 | BTW I'm talking from my shell :P | 01:21 |

| joao_ | AutomaticLoginEnable=true //This line to true | 01:22 |
| joao_ | AutomaticLogin=’USERNAME’ // Your username on this line with out the single quote | 01:22 |
| joao_ | arcaico, look also into etc/gdm/custom.conf | 01:23 |
| zykotick9 | Braber01, rename the GDM file in /etc/init/ (NOT init.d!!!) to GDM.disabled (you have to verify what the GDM file is actually called) | 01:23 |

| === Ely-xu_ is now known as Ely-xu | ||
| zykotick9 | tony_, is it working? | 01:57 |
| \DSAFEW\ | tony_, I'm not an expert, but usually you have to get out of X and load a driver module, but there could be more to it, did you reboot? | 01:57 |
| tony_ | zykotick9, it's working but i am limited with my screen resolution to 1366x768 . i've removed and reinstalled them several times | 01:58 |
| zykotick9 | tony_, there is a bug with about reporting "activated but not in use" on many systems. To definitively know what driver you're using run "lspci -vnvn" in a terminal, find the VGA section and it's "kernel driver is use" line. | 01:59 |
| Zequez | If I'm running a live session from a USB drive, the OS is loaded into the memory? I mean, can I erase the USB drive to reinstall Ubuntu in there from the live session? | 01:59 |
| \DSAFEW\ | tony_, try opening a terminal and entering: lsmod | 01:59 |
| tony_ | zykotick9, i found where it says "kernel driver is us" and it says nvidia | 02:01 |
| zykotick9 | tony_, then you're probably using nvidia... ;) | 02:02 |
| bynw | i was attempting to start an app from the gui and it doesnt start. so i went to terminal to start it (to see any error messages too) and got this error: Gtk-ERROR **: List item does not match its index: item index 28 and list index 27 ... anyone know how to fix that? | 02:02 |
| zykotick9 | tony_, is 1366x768 your native resolution? that a non-standard res. | 02:02 |
| tony_ | \DSAFEW\, ran the command, it listed all my hardware? | 02:02 |
| zykotick9 | tony_, lsmod lists the loaded modules - nvidia will be one of them | 02:03 |
| \DSAFEW\ | tony_, so it's working from what I gather from zykotick9's question | 02:03 |
| trnzmeta | guys: in 11.04 is there a specific netbook download or is the desktop all encompassing? | 02:03 |
| tony_ | zykotick9, yes that is my native resolution but shouldn't it be able to project a higher res. everything is quite large | 02:03 |
| trnzmeta | in 10.x there was that that's why I'm asking | 02:04 |
| minimumnz | hi, how do you install apache2 2.2.20 on ubuntu 10.04, the current apache 2.2.14 has quite a nasty DoS vulnerability that's crashing one of my servers. thx. | 02:04 |
| urlin2u | trnzmeta, all incompassing, | 02:04 |
| minimumnz | or patch it | 02:04 |
| trnzmeta | cheers urlin2u :) | 02:04 |
| zykotick9 | tony_, not sure, but nvidia probably detects that as the proper resolution to use... | 02:04 |
| tony_ | \DSAFEW\, yes it's working just would like a better resolution. even a 1280x900 would be nice | 02:04 |
| \DSAFEW\ | tony_, well I don't know where you read that the driver wasn't working, but it's wrong, you have an issue with detected resolution, not supported resolution | 02:04 |
| zykotick9 | minimumnz, i believe only Debian has released a fix for that so far | 02:04 |
| zykotick9 | minimumnz, other then manually compiling i mean | 02:05 |
| \DSAFEW\ | tony_, yeah, try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions | 02:05 |
| minimumnz | zykotick9: :( I guess i could give that a go. | 02:05 |

| newerth | hi all | 03:01 |
| newerth | i cant get sound in doom3 | 03:02 |
| newerth | and any idtech4 game | 03:02 |
| newerth | know how to enable it? | 03:02 |
| === will is now known as Guest88080 | ||
| newerth | hello? | 03:02 |
| Guest88080 | hey guys. i've had an idea for ubuntu's "aero snap" feature - when resizing the left or right border of one of the snapped windows (if you have two), if you hold down both the left and right mouse button it should change the width of both windows. | 03:03 |
| Guest88080 | what do you think? | 03:03 |
| newerth | it sucks! | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: do you get sound normally? | 03:03 |
| newerth | yea | 03:03 |
| Aple | Ubuntu newb here. How do I add something to my command line? For instance, if I want to launch an .exe by typing a shortcut like: "sublime" (Sublime Text editor), how could I do that? | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: wil you have some patience as well please | 03:03 |
| newerth | k | 03:04 |
| bsmith093 | i realize this is a bit vague, but how do i wget a copy of oldskool.org without this happening www.oldskool.org/demos/pc/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/explained/htmlsounds/dd/expl | 03:04 |
| Aple | I found this on their forums, but it looks like it's for OSX: http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1450#p6608 | 03:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: you can make a script in /usr/bin to run what it takes to make the ting run | 03:04 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: how did you install the game? | 03:04 |
| newerth | with the linux installer | 03:04 |
| Aple | ActionParsnip: Do you happen to know of a tutorial or some keywords I could google to help? | 03:05 |
| newerth | the problem is with these older games | 03:05 |
| Dice-Man | hello | 03:05 |
| newerth | with recent ones | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: ok, and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 03:05 |
| Aple | Also, why /usr/bin? | 03:05 |
| newerth | like heroes of newerth and quakelive | 03:05 |
| newerth | there is sound | 03:05 |
| Aple | Shouldn't it be in my home dir? | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: well you run it with commands in a terminal, right? | 03:05 |
| Dice-Man | how to properly reinstall gstreamer ?? | 03:05 |
| Aple | Not really, I can double click the .exe and run it | 03:05 |
| === picolo is now known as Picolo | ||
| Aple | Like I can't even open it up in Command Line | 03:06 |
| newerth | i read that older games like the idtech4 games used oss | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: ok so run: gksudo gedit /usr/bin/sublime and add this as the top line: #!/bin/bash | 03:06 |
| newerth | and ubuntu now uses pulseaudio | 03:06 |
| Aple | Like if i nav to /home/Sublime Text 2/ then type sublime_text.exe, it won't open. | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: then the next line is: wine /path/to/file.exe change the /path/to/file.exe to the ACTUAL filename, case sensitive | 03:06 |
| madprops | http://i.imgur.com/sIsSC.jpg | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: can you give the output of the command I gave please | 03:07 |
| newerth | I read that i could add this to the launcher: +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0 +set s_driver alsa +set r_alphaToCoverage "0" | 03:07 |
| newerth | output is "command not found" | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: lsb_release -sc | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: its a standard command | 03:07 |
| newerth | ok | 03:08 |
| Aple | ActionParsnip: Sublime Text isn't in /usr/bin | 03:08 |
| newerth | what should i do then= | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: then save the new file, close gedit and run: chmod +x /usr/bin/subline and it will be a script | 03:08 |
| newerth | ? | 03:08 |
| Aple | So when I run gksudo ... it loads an empty file | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: yes, its a new file you are creating | 03:08 |
| Aple | Oh ok | 03:08 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: I can't make it any clearer. Can you run 'lsb_release -sc' without the quotes | 03:08 |
| newerth | im getting command not found | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: ok then run: sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit; clear; pastebinit /etc/lsb-release | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | newerth: what is output? | 03:10 |
| newerth | strange thing is that with that +set s_alsa_pcm plughw:0 +set s_driver alsa +set r_alphaToCoverage "0" i added, sound played, but only the first time i ran it | 03:10 |
| Aple | ActionParsnip: subline or sublime? | 03:10 |
| Aple | Thinking the latter :) | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: whatever you want, it's YOUR script. There is no right answer | 03:10 |
| Aple | Oh, so I could name it "sub" ? | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: sub is a command in a few packages, you need to avoid those. sublime is fine | 03:11 |
| Aple | Also, since there are spaces in the name, do I need to make it: wine "/home/aple/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text.exe" ??? | 03:11 |
| edbian | Aple: yes | 03:12 |
| Polah | Aple: Yes | 03:12 |
| Aple | ok thanks guys | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: should be ok, or you can use: wine /home/aple/Sublime\ Text\ 2/sublime_text.exe | 03:12 |
| c4pt | hello i am having problem withs getting empathy to make audio/video calls with google i have theora and ffmpeg and gstreamer installed but the option is greyed out | 03:12 |
| TheProf | Good day. Looking for help to correctly set up dhcp3 on my new server. It has two network cards, but when I try "service sudo service isc-dhcp-server start" it fails with "No subnet declaration for eth1 (no IPv4 addresses)" and "Not configured to listen on any interfaces!" Recommendations? Thank you | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: you have just learned how to script :) | 03:12 |
| Aple | What about "st2"? is that taken? | 03:13 |
| Aple | I'm awfully lazy for 4 more chars every time I use it (frequently) :) | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: I don't follow, that doesn't appear to be part of your command | 03:13 |
| Aple | chmod +x /usr/bin/st2 | 03:13 |
| Aple | Like, naming my command st2 instead of sublime | 03:13 |
| Aple | chmod thing is where i name it right? | 03:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: yes, just gonna check if st2 is a command | 03:14 |
| xi93 | can anybody recommend an SIP provider with fax support and that I can get a analog adapter to go with it to hook up a phone? | 03:14 |
| Aple | Ah, thanks man | 03:14 |
| Aple | Terminal says "Command not found" | 03:14 |
| Aple | So I think it's safe right? :) | 03:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: then its free :) | 03:14 |
| Aple | Sahweet. | 03:14 |
| wwwd | What the hell did I just Do? | 03:15 |
| Aple | Cannot access it. No such file or directory. | 03:15 |
| Aple | :\ | 03:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: simple scripts like that make life waaay easier :) | 03:15 |
| wwwd | And why did'nt it work? | 03:15 |
| lwizardl | hello | 03:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: you can even make a launcher to run your script on the desktop ;) | 03:15 |
| lwizardl | how do i choose when I want the boot loader instlled to | 03:15 |
| Aple | ActionParsnip: Since Sublime Text is actually in /home/aple/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text.exe, is that why it's not finding it in usr/bin ? | 03:15 |
| Aple | ActionParsnip: I'm not using Unity I don't think. I'm using Ubuntu Classic. Not that fancy shtuff with big buttons n' crap. | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: the command is not in $PATH, using the script makes it so, I do it that way myself, it's just easier if you ask me | 03:16 |
| Aple | I've had problems making launcher stuff on this | 03:16 |
| Aple | What do you mean it's not in Path? | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: can still use alacarte to add it to the menu then, or just keep it on the desktop by right clicking and clicking "new launcher" | 03:17 |
| Aple | I'd like to be able to open up terminal, type in "st2" and it open Sublime Text | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: that will now happen, try it | 03:17 |
| Aple | Preferably be able to type "st2 myfile.html" and it open the file in Sublime Text | 03:17 |
| wwwd | I entered rm -r * in my home dir. It removed all folders. But I find all the hidden files are still there. WHY??? | 03:17 |
| Aple | It isn't working :( | 03:17 |
| rww | wwwd: because * does not match files beginning with . | 03:17 |
| Aple | Still not finding it when I type in st2 | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: not sure about args, you could edit the script and add: $1 to the end of the second line | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: what is output? | 03:18 |
| CaptainLulz | I'm a novice, so sorry if this is too basic: How do you set up a proxy on Natty? (Again, novice, so if you need specifics ask). | 03:18 |
| wwwd | I realy like luke. Count on it infact! | 03:18 |
| Aple | cory@ubuntu:~$ chmod +x /usr/bin/st2 | 03:18 |
| Aple | chmod: cannot access `/usr/bin/st2': No such file or directory | 03:18 |
| Aple | Then I run just: st2 | 03:18 |
| Aple | No command 'st2' found, did you mean: ... | 03:18 |
| Aple | st2: command not found | 03:18 |
| qin | Aple: Wait! | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: use sudo | 03:19 |
| Aple | cory@ubuntu:~$ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/st2 | 03:19 |
| Aple | chmod: cannot access `/usr/bin/st2': No such file or directory | 03:19 |
| qin | Aple: Where is your script st2 right now? | 03:19 |
| Polah | Does anybody else have trouble with sites on wikia.com not loading most the time and just displaying white pages? | 03:19 |
| qin | Aple: Give path | 03:19 |
| Aple | /usr/bin I suspect | 03:19 |
| Aple | qin: How? | 03:19 |
| qin | Aple: ls /usr/bin/st2 ? | 03:20 |
| Aple | /usr/bin/sublime (since I did gksudo gedit /usr/bin/sublime) | 03:20 |
| Arcano | hi, everybody! | 03:20 |
| Aple | ls: cannot access /usr/bin/st2: No such file or directory | 03:20 |
| qin | Aple: OK, sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/sublime | 03:21 |
| holy | hi | 03:21 |
| newerth | is there way to turn off pulseaudio and use oss instead? | 03:21 |
| Aple | cory@ubuntu:~$ sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/sublime | 03:21 |
| Aple | cory@ubuntu:~$ sublime | 03:21 |
| Aple | /usr/bin/sublime: line 2: wine: command not found | 03:21 |
| newerth | like, toggle pulseaudio on and off? | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: how are you running the exe, if you don't have wine installed? | 03:22 |
| qin | Aple: "which wine" , no quotes | 03:22 |
| Aple | which wine did nothing | 03:22 |
| qin | ActionParsnip: All yours, going for coffe. | 03:22 |

| Aple | Sweet! | 03:24 |
| mikdur__ | I need help on getting the compiz cube thing going | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: sudo rm /usr/bin/sublime; sudo ln -s /home/aple/Sublime\ Text\ 2/sublime_text.exe /usr/bin/st2 | 03:25 |
| Aple | Come to think of it, it might not have an .exe extension | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: done | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: check that, it's important | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: this isnt crappy windows | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: you can check with: ls /home/aple/Sublime\ Text\ 2/ | 03:26 |
| Aple | Well, it doesn't show the extension in the folder, but it shows it as an "executable" in Properties | 03:26 |
| Aple | Yeah, I don't think it has an extension :\ | 03:26 |
| Aple | fml I'm sorry :) | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: that doesn't mean it has a file extension | 03:26 |
| jdvorsky | k | 03:26 |
| Aple | I just realized that | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: then remove the .exe bit from my command and you are in business | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: I just downloaded it myself | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: the binary is sublime_text | 03:27 |
| mikdur__ | Does this mean I'm in in the wrong place if so where ca I get some help | 03:28 |
| Aple | Ok, so make that script again, remove the exe jazz, and run the wine thing on it? | 03:28 |
| Aple | Or can I bypass wine? | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: so it's: sudo rm /usr/bin/sublime; sudo ln -s /home/aple/Sublime\ Text\ 2/sublime_text /usr/bin/st2 | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: its not a windows app, so you don't need wine | 03:28 |
| Aple | Wine can be used for PS right? | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: ou don't need a script, a symlink will do it | 03:28 |
| Aple | Badass | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: what is PS? | 03:29 |
| Aple | Photoshop | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: check the appdb | 03:29 |

| ^Mike | How can I check if a given package is installed? | 03:31 |
| Aple | I can get around and do some stuff with it, but it's just not my cup of tea for some reason (I'm a designer jerk) | 03:31 |
| ChogyDan | ^Mike: apt-cache policy <package> | 03:31 |

| ActionParsnip | newerth: not done it myself though# | 03:44 |

| rawfodog_ | I check the switch obviously. | 03:44 |
| Polah | rawfodog_: Have you tried remounting manually using -o remount,rw? | 03:45 |
| Aple | ActionParsnip: Sorry to take you away from your work, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this. Thank you so much again. :) | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | rawfodog_: when you remove them from systems, what do you do? | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Aple: np man :) | 03:45 |
| rawfodog_ | I don't know how to do that | 03:45 |
| rawfodog_ | ActionParsnip, what do you mean ? | 03:45 |
| rawfodog_ | Polah, what is the command to do that ? | 03:45 |
| Polah | rawfodog_: mount -o remount,rw /dev/device /media/mountpoint | 03:45 |

| jerware | The Panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID: GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet". | 03:46 |
| Polah | rawfogdog: Use sudo mkdir /media/mountpoint to create the directory and you'd have to find out the device name through lspci or lsusb or something like that. Change "mountpoint" to whatever name you like, really. | 03:46 |
| jerware | I have defaunct nautalis processes. The cursor stays as a stopwatch, gnome won't logout when I tell it to. | 03:46 |
| jerware | What do I have to type to make this work? | 03:46 |
| rawfodog_ | Polah, how do I found out the device ? | 03:47 |
| Polah | rawfodog_: mount -l should give you a list of mounted devices, insert the SD card and run it and then pastebin the output for me please | 03:48 |
| kasansweat | Anyone know a good way to find duplicate DIRECTORIES (and be smart enough to perhaps not display dupe directories within other dupe directories?) | 03:48 |

| jasongriffee | i read that 11.04 beta was in progress, can i get in on that? i have 11.04 | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Squarism: that browser is not really a browser to give you IE | 03:51 |
| jasongriffee | 11.10 beta sorry | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jasongriffee: 11.10 is in beta today | 03:51 |
| Polah | rawfodog_: Do this: sudo mkdir /media/ds && sudo mount -t vfat -o remount,defaults /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/ds | 03:51 |
| Squarism | ActionParsnip, So IE is not bundled with wine? | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jasongriffee: so you want to change from Natty to Oneiric? | 03:51 |
| jasongriffee | to 11.10 yes | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Squarism: there are parts of it | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jasongriffee: run: sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 03:52 |
| Polah | Oh god, IE on Linux :/ Whatever next. | 03:52 |
| rawfodog_ | Polah, "mount: /media/ds not mounted already, or bad option" | 03:52 |
| Polah | Squarism: Is there a particular reason you need IE for? | 03:52 |
| Stanley00 | jasongriffee: I think you should try it first on liveCD | 03:52 |
| rawfodog_ | (ds is NintendoDS I think) | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Polah: look into ies4linux :) | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Squarism: look into ies4linux | 03:53 |
| Polah | rawfodog_: Oh, sorry. Do this this: sudo umount /media/NintendoDS && mount -t vfat -o defaults /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/ds | 03:53 |
| Polah | ActionParsnip: Why do these things exist? ): You can even get an IE skin for Firefox and Chrome if you really need it that much | 03:53 |
| jerware | Linux is EPIC Failing. I have defaunct nautalis processes. The cursor stays as a stopwatch, gnome won't logout when I tell it to. | 03:54 |
| jerware | What do I have to type to make this work? | 03:54 |
| jerware | The Panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID: GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet". WTF??? | 03:54 |
| Piffer | I installed PlayOn, and then installed the IE6 package, to get IE on my Ubuntu install... Worked OK, but I could not get Java/Flash to work. People who make webapps requiring IE should be shot... | 03:54 |

| ActionParsnip | Squarism: it may just work, give it a go. Its a lot more graceful than using some half baked implementation of a browser | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Spaceman: it was first introduced on 9600 baud modems, so it had to be :) | 04:02 |
| doodmang | is there anyway to see what processes are doing read/write operations to disk? | 04:02 |
| Polah | Nothing wrong with being thrifty with bandwidth | 04:03 |
| Polah | doodmang: Install iotop and run it, it's basically the same as top but shows disk activity | 04:03 |
| Spaceman | I got my first computer job in 1981... I remember 9600 baud modems when they cost a hell of a lot of money | 04:03 |

| K-Rich | Captain Morgan and a buy 2 get one free deal at the dispensary... i'm great | 04:22 |
| zykotick9 | stephenthemartyr, if that's what you want you might be able to do it with "wine" | 04:22 |
| Guest16757 | captain morgan is the best!!! | 04:22 |
| zykotick9 | Guest16757, perhaps you're looking for #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:22 |
| stephenthemartyr | i dont think so,the programs are sonar and a few others,can i do it in the virt.machine? | 04:24 |
| rypervenche | stephenthemartyr: virtualbox is pretty straight forward | 04:25 |
| zykotick9 | stephenthemartyr, it's possible yes - but it's not recommended in VirtualBox, research RAW access. | 04:25 |
| zykotick9 | rypervenche, not for RAW partition access | 04:25 |
| rypervenche | oh, shutting up then | 04:25 |
| zykotick9 | stephenthemartyr, rypervenche has a point - if you install a new Windows in VBox it's pretty easy | 04:26 |
| Lesterwood | why is find not working with grep | 04:26 |
| zykotick9 | Lesterwood, what command are you trying? | 04:26 |
| Lesterwood | i type the command /find / -name someshit|grep users | 04:26 |
| Lesterwood | it should be in a file called users | 04:26 |
| samer | hey | 04:27 |
| stephenthemartyr | i did that but how do i get the windows programs in the virtualwindowsbox?ive read everything i can find and i dont understand still so can u please help me | 04:27 |
| zykotick9 | Lesterwood, if you're looking for a file called "users" use "find / -iname users" | 04:27 |
| Lesterwood | a file called someshit | 04:28 |
| zykotick9 | Lesterwood, is the file "something" or "users" | 04:28 |
| === nosa is now known as nosa-j | ||
| Lesterwood | the file is named someshit | 04:28 |
| Lesterwood | oh | 04:28 |

| Lesterwood | ok | 04:29 |
| zykotick9 | Lesterwood, i give up | 04:29 |
| Lesterwood | fair | 04:29 |
| Polah | Lesterwood, use find to find files and grep to search within files. You could do find -name "<name>" | xargs cat to find a file and then display the contents in a terminal | 04:29 |
| stephenthemartyr | zykotick9: so its not straightfoward enough for me,im newish to computers | 04:29 |
| rypervenche | stephenthemartyr: You install windows in Virtual Box. | 04:30 |
| Polah | Lesterwood: Are you trying to find it or display it? | 04:30 |
| rypervenche | stephenthemartyr: If you want to do what they were talking about, the RAW thing, I have no idea. | 04:30 |
| zykotick9 | stephenthemartyr, i suggest you follow rypervenche's advice and reinstall Windows in Vbox rather then trying to use your current physical install | 04:30 |
| rypervenche | stephenthemartyr: I have Windows 7 on a partition, and Windows XP on a virtual machine so I can access it while on Linux. | 04:31 |
| stephenthemartyr | id have to have the windows cd correct? | 04:31 |
| samer | quick question, so I set up an ubuntu server, and the site seems accessible from the ip (173.66.247.139), but on the server I can't do anything that accesses the internet, like ping, or more importantly, download packages. The firewall is off, and the router has its ip address DMZ'd, so that shouldn't be a problem, in theory. It's a verizon router, and i'm currently accessing the server through ssh, if either of those make a differenc | 04:31 |
| rypervenche | stephenthemartyr: Yes. | 04:31 |
| stephenthemartyr | cuz i dont which is the p[roblem | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? | 04:31 |
| samer | no | 04:32 |
| Lesterwood | never mind | 04:32 |
| Lesterwood | i am a idiot | 04:32 |
| Lesterwood | thank you Polah | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: if you run: route do you have a default gateway set? | 04:32 |
| stephenthemartyr | zykotick9: although i do have a windows recovery thing on my grub menu could i use that? | 04:32 |
| samer | hmm, I don't | 04:33 |
| zykotick9 | stephenthemartyr, no | 04:33 |
| samer | would that be the problem? | 04:33 |
| zykotick9 | stephenthemartyr, are you SURE you can't use your programs with wine? It would certainly be the easiest method. | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: yes, the system doesn't know the next hop | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: did you define the IP information yourself? | 04:34 |
| Polah | stephenthemartyr: I believe you can download burnable images of Windows from the Microsoft store, you have to pay or you may be able to get it through verification of an existing owned key perhaps | 04:34 |
| samer | no, I haven't defined any ip information | 04:34 |
| samer | thanks lol, let me work on that now | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: so you are getting it via DHCP? | 04:34 |
| rypervenche | stephenthemartyr: You can also find torrents of the Windows CDs. You'll have the problem of the key though. | 04:35 |
| zykotick9 | Polah, i imagine stephenthemartyr must have an OEM copy of windows - which legally can't be used in a VM | 04:35 |
| zykotick9 | !warez | rypervenche | 04:35 |
| ubottu | rypervenche: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 04:35 |
| rypervenche | zykotick9: It's not illegal to share the vanilla windows disc. | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: ok what interface name do you use and what is the routers internal IP. I can give you a command | 04:35 |
| Polah | zykotick9: Oh really, I didn't know OEM versions had such restrictions | 04:35 |
| zykotick9 | rypervenche, yes it is | 04:36 |
| rypervenche | knowledge +1 | 04:36 |
| samer | the router's internal ip is 192.168.1.1, and what do you mean by interface name? | 04:36 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: sudo route add default gw 173.66.247.1 eth0 is an example command, assuming 173.66.247 is the router's internal IP and you are using eth0 to access it | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: how do you access the router, wired or wireless? | 04:37 |
| samer | it's wired | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: ok so if you run: ifconfig eth0 does that give the IP you know? | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0 is the command | 04:38 |
| samer | ok | 04:38 |
| samer | so, I am using eth0 | 04:38 |
| samer | just ran the command and it's still not pinging | 04:39 |
| samer | I had this issue before, and I did a new install and that fixed it | 04:39 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: cool, the last command is the one you need, it tels your OS that to get network access the place to go is 192.168.1.1 and you get there via eth0 | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | samer, how did you configure your network? Do you have a GUI right now? | 04:40 |
| samer | I configured the static ip + dmz through the verizon router | 04:40 |
| samer | nothing special to the server except for the rule I just added | 04:40 |
| samer | and it still won't ping out | 04:40 |
| samer | the ufw firewall is disabled | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: can you ping 192.168.1.1 ? | 04:41 |
| Zetacu | hello everyone. I have a Compaq V3000 with a broadcom b43 wireless adapter. Today i install a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04. And ubuntu can't find the wifi adapter any ideas? | 04:41 |
| samer | yeah | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: your IP should be 192.168.1.something | 04:42 |
| samer | it's 1.10 | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: wait, you can ping the gw? | 04:42 |
| samer | I can | 04:42 |
| samer | could this be a firewall issue on the router's side? | 04:42 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, /etc/resolv.conf perhaps? | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: shouldn't your system have an IP in the same subnet as the routers internal IP. 192.168.1.x | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: can't ping 8.8.8.8 | 04:42 |
| samer | or, it's 192.168.1.10 | 04:43 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, true | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | samer: can you now ping 8.8.8.8 after the route add? | 04:43 |
| samer | nope | 04:43 |
| samer | I can ping internally, but not externally | 04:43 |
| zequez | If I restart the gdm service through console, and then I change to Ctrl+Alt+F7 but there is nothing running there... what does that means? Can I force it to start? | 04:43 |

| cedriczg | Polah, I guess I had bad luck. No file found, filesystem seems damaged. :( | 05:22 |
| brainard52 | polah? | 05:22 |
| Polah | brainard52: Click the arrows network icon on your panel, click edit connections, select the connection you want to set as static, click edit, go to IPv4 settings and select the dropdown menu and choose manual. Then, click Add next to IP addresses and put in the IP you want to assign, then subnet mask and gateway address, for DNS servers you can find the ones assigned to your router or just use 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 for Google's DNS servers | 05:22 |
| brainard52 | What would I put for subntet and gateway? I'm 17, and I've only been experimenting with linux for a while now. sry. | 05:24 |
| brainard52 | hm... guess i didn't have to put my age... | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Patric3: ask in #ubuntu+1 for oneiric | 05:25 |
| Polah | brainard52, your subnet is 255.255.255.0 and gateway is probably 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, the address you use to access your router | 05:25 |

| brainard52 | oh ok. i tshould be on my router then? | 05:26 |
| rww | lo-fi: lo is the loopback interface. it's internal to your computer. it doesn't use dhcp. | 05:26 |
| Polah | brainard52: The address you use to access your router through a browser is your gateway address | 05:26 |

| meway | Polah: I am familar with ubuntu does lubuntu have a dual boot like ubuntu? | 06:02 |
| Polah | meway: Lubuntu is ubuntu with lxde by default instead of gnome. Just different environments by default, they're still the same operating system really | 06:03 |

| === Milos|Netbook is now known as meh | ||
| Polah | meway: gnome should work fine, I'm just suggesting lxde since it's lighter. You can Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu or a few others. The only difference is the default desktop environment, it's your choice. | 06:04 |

| meway | Stanley00: I have no cd drive so does this have an installer like wubi? | 06:05 |
| meway | and do you have a link? :s | 06:05 |
| Polah | meway: You can use a USB drive to install. Like I said, they function exactly the same as Ubuntu, they just look different. | 06:05 |

| meway | Polah: lets assume I don't have a flashdrive and I'm on a windows machine wanting to dual boot | 06:06 |
| meway | Polah: and the cd drive happends to be broken as well :s | 06:06 |
| Polah | meway: Don't think it's possible to install properly then. You can use wubi but I wouldn't really recommend that. | 06:06 |

| meway | Polah: whats wrong with wubi? | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | does ubuntu netbook remix support all regular ubuntu apps from software centre? | 06:08 |
| Stanley00 | meway: just give lubuntu a try, and you will see, btw, I recommend install via usb or something like that | 06:09 |
| zykotick9 | meway, i "personally" think Wubi is a terrible idea - and hope it gets realized as a failed experiment soon. | 06:09 |
| meway | Polah: is there a way to get ubuntu on a flashdrive that contains information already? | 06:09 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje, there isn't a netbook remix anymore - it's same as desktop | 06:09 |
| Polah | meway: It doesn't give Ubuntu an independent filesystem or make it accessible without image editing tools or booting into it. A proper install doesn't force it to rely on Window's NTFS and you can edit it whenever you like provided you have access to tools for the filesystem you used | 06:09 |
| Stanley00 | meway: wubi just for test purpose only, I thinks | 06:09 |

| Polah | meway: The answer is yes and the links tell you how. | 06:10 |
| meway | I like wubi as I use both windows and ubuntu | 06:10 |
| being | test | 06:10 |

| CluelessPerson | how is everyone? | 06:11 |
| almoxarife | meway: I don't see why you can't install lubuntu after the wubi install, to ubuntu its just another desktop | 06:12 |
| urlin2u | meway, the link I posted. | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: tnx for hint, so all apps should work normally on netbook | 06:12 |
| meway | almoxarife: you just lost me | 06:12 |
| Polah | almoxarife: If you only want to try, why install at all? Use a live session, or better yet a LiveUSB with persistence | 06:12 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | I bet there's a FAQ for the latest Ubuntu. And I bet right at the top of the FAQ there's how to get your old applications drop-down menu back. Maybe even how to get rid of that big honking launcher. | 06:13 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | So where is the FAQ? | 06:13 |
| meway | Polah: can I install ubuntu on a flashdrive with data already on it? | 06:13 |
| Polah | almoxarife, meway: You should be able to install lxde through apt-get after installing any other version of Ubuntu, the same applies to other desktop environments too | 06:13 |
| meway | wthout having to move it | 06:13 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje, generally. Netbooks tend to not have a lot of RAM or high power graphics, so not EVERYTHING will work, but most should | 06:13 |
| rww | !classic | Wolfwalker_Prime | 06:13 |
| ubottu | Wolfwalker_Prime: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 06:13 |
| meway | Polah: ah ok I will try that | 06:13 |
| almoxarife | meway: what Polah said | 06:13 |
| Polah | meway: Hmm, without having to move it perhaps not, it would depend on the tools you use. | 06:13 |
| meway | polah any way you can think | 06:14 |
| Polah | meway: But if you're yet to download an ISO and want to use LXDE instead of GNOME or another, just getting the Lubuntu ISO would be quicker than getting Ubuntu and then installed LXDE afterwards | 06:14 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Thank you rww. Unity sucks eggs. Having tried it, I hate it because it makes it harder to do a lot of stuff. | 06:14 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | For end-users it is probably better though. | 06:14 |
| rww | Wolfwalker_Prime: I use KDE. So... yeah :\ | 06:14 |
| Polah | meway: There's ways to create a LiveUSB manually but quickly moving your data away, using unetbootin or similar for windows to create the liveusb and then moving your data back afterwards would be the safest and possibly easiest way | 06:14 |
| meway | Polah: I have neglected to say I have a copy of ubuntu | 06:15 |
| Polah | meway: Ah, in that case install lxde afterwards then | 06:15 |
| zykotick9 | rww, sorry personal question - have you always used KDE? | 06:15 |
| meway | Polah: so I can put files on the live drive? | 06:15 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | meway I install to flash drive all the time... I just use a flash drive like a hard drive during install, and it works the same. No need for unetbootin, specialist USB install or anything. | 06:16 |
| Polah | meway: Yes, if you move them, make the LiveUSB and then move them back they shouldn't be affected and you should still be able to boot the USB | 06:16 |
| meway | Wolfwalker_Prime: if you remove the drive all the files stay correct? | 06:16 |
| rww | zykotick9: I've hopped around a lot. KDE's been my favorite for long enough that it's likely I'll stick with it | 06:16 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | They do for me. | 06:16 |
| meway | Polah: ok | 06:16 |
| meway | Wolfwalker_Prime: kk | 06:16 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | rww Kubuntu, or Ubuntu with KDE installed afterward? | 06:16 |
| rww | Wolfwalker_Prime: Kubuntu, when I'm not using Debian | 06:17 |
| meway | thanks guys I will try this | 06:17 |
| Polah | meway: Always good to back up your files just in case (: | 06:17 |
| zykotick9 | rww, thanks, just curious | 06:17 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | No Linux Mint? ^.^ | 06:17 |
| meway | Now how do I make a usb drive with windows? | 06:17 |
| rww | Wolfwalker_Prime: no | 06:17 |
| Polah | Wolfwalker_Prime, they're really the same thing there, it's just installing KDE after the system install may have another environment too | 06:17 |
| Polah | !liveusb | meway | 06:17 |
| ubottu | meway: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 06:17 |
| meway | kk ty | 06:17 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Uh... none of that stuff is really necessary. At least not in an OS that will give you flash drives as external hard drives on install. | 06:18 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | I'm just now trying out 11.04 though, so I don't know if it will install to a flash drive normally. | 06:18 |
| xgt001 | hello.. wifi not working , i have broadcom bcm4313 , iwconfig leads me nothing, natty with kernel 3.0.3 | 06:18 |
| xgt001 | any ideas? | 06:19 |
| almoxarife | I have been using ssh x11 and I find myself mixing 'sudo' and 'gksu' a lot, what is the worse case scenario? | 06:19 |

| rumpe1 | almostroot, permission problems for some configurations | 06:20 |
| urlin2u | Wolfwalker_Prime, it will instal to a thumb no problem. | 06:20 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | O....kay, latest Ubuntu is missing that little step at the end where you can hit Advanced tab and specify where to install Grub. | 06:20 |
| urlin2u | full or iso. | 06:20 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | When you install to a flash drive how do you specify where to install Grub? | 06:21 |
| zequez | Can I make Unity show the window title and the menu at the same time in the same row? | 06:21 |
| urlin2u | Wolfwalker_Prime, it is in the something else portion | 06:21 |
| learner | hi all. i m using ubuntu 10.10. problm with empathy chat. account manager crashes as soon as i select irc to create an irc account | 06:21 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | urlin2u: If "something else" then you have to set up partitions manually... | 06:21 |
| urlin2u | Wolfwalker_Prime, yes | 06:21 |
| frewsxcv | where do the upstart scripts live if i want to create one? | 06:21 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | So... the latest, greatest Ubuntu makes it HARDER? | 06:22 |
| urlin2u | Wolfwalker_Prime, not really | 06:22 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | This is going backward. | 06:22 |
| urlin2u | Wolfwalker_Prime, a different design, you have to adapt . | 06:23 |
| almoxarife | learner: might I suggest you use 'pidgin' | 06:23 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | This different design is not as easy. In the old design you select a flash drive as though it were a normal hard drive, hit Advanced at the last step and select the flash drive for grub. | 06:23 |
| === takeshi is now known as ps-ax | ||
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Then Ubuntu made its own partitions, installed itself, etc. | 06:24 |
| zykotick9 | frewsxcv, /etc/init/ | 06:24 |
| doodmang | What other ways are there to encrypt directories? | 06:24 |
| urlin2u | Wolfwalker_Prime, you do the same in a different gui is all. | 06:24 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | urlin2u: but now you have to manually make partitions. | 06:24 |
| urlin2u | Wolfwalker_Prime, yu would on a thumb before as well. | 06:24 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Nope. | 06:25 |
| katarn | Hi i need some help =( | 06:25 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Ubuntu just installed itself, made its own partitions like the flash drive was a normal hard drive. | 06:25 |
| frewsxcv | zykotick9: if i add a script there, how do i start it | 06:25 |
| Polah | Is it possible to upgrade the distribution of Ubuntu on flash drive, not a persistent install but just a LiveUSB? i.e. boot the LiveUSB and run do-release-upgrade, or plug it in and chroot from a full install? | 06:25 |
| matrixiumn | hello | 06:25 |
| lazy-digger | hi :-) | 06:26 |
| zykotick9 | frewsxcv, i have no idea - i just know that's where the upstart stuff is located. Good luck. | 06:26 |
| urlin2u | Polah, not a good idea it's running off the ID=ISO, and the csaper-rw | 06:26 |
| learner | almoxarife, : yeah surely i will try but is der any fix for this problem in empathy? | 06:26 |
| katarn | i have a raid 0 with windows 7, and i want install ubuntu 11.04 too but for some reason i cant install i need something more? | 06:26 |
| Polah | urlin2u: Thought so, I was just hoping it would be possible since I always have a LiveUSB around for emergencies and I'd like to keep it up to date without needing to redownload the full ISO and remake the drive | 06:26 |
| matrixiumn | han anyone heard of notepad++ | 06:26 |
| urlin2u | Polah, some have but the casper-rw doesn't clean easily | 06:26 |
| Stanley00 | learner: you can try update empathy and/or remove it's config file | 06:27 |
| almoxarife | learner: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ZZSAm8S6j1IJ:live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ+empathy+chat.+account+manager+crashes+as+soon+as+i+select+irc&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us <-- follow the link to the header 'IRC" , its not promising | 06:27 |
| urlin2u | matrixiumn, in windows yes. | 06:27 |
| katarn | someone know? | 06:27 |
| matrixiumn | yes but using wine will it work? | 06:27 |
| matrixiumn | because I am currently a windows user about to switch to ubuntu | 06:28 |
| Polah | matrixiumn: Try out Bluefish, sudo apt-get install bluefish. It has syntax highlighting for multiple languages, tabs for files and has a lot of features of Notepad++ like replace tabs and suchlike | 06:28 |
| Polah | They're fairly similar | 06:28 |
| urlin2u | matrixiumn, not sure, libreoffice is pretty good, of google docs I thinmk it's called | 06:28 |
| urlin2u | or* | 06:28 |
| matrixiumn | ok | 06:28 |
| katarn | someone can help me? | 06:28 |
| learner | thanks Stanley00 and almoxarife now i m using Xchat. since i m new to irc..i am a bit confused on which irc client is the best | 06:29 |
| urlin2u | katarn, not many do that so you may wait awhile, during the day US are more people though. | 06:29 |
| almoxarife | learner: xchat is a good choice for 'irc' | 06:30 |
| Polah | !raid | katarn | 06:30 |
| ubottu | katarn: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 06:30 |
| Stanley00 | learner: I just have xchat 2 weeks ago, and I thinks this is the best | 06:30 |
| netlab | hello | 06:30 |
| almoxarife | learner: if you decide to esperiment, try pidgin, irc without the irc look, | 06:30 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Pidgin is great. | 06:31 |
| learner | ok almoxarife | 06:31 |
| dr-willis | pidgin can be annoying for irc | 06:31 |
| rhin0 | why | 06:31 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Depends if you're a mod. | 06:31 |
| katarn | mmm i dont know but my raid works already, i guess that info talk about for create the raid 0 on ubuntu, no? | 06:31 |
| learner | Stanley00, : xchat also looks cool | 06:31 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | katarn: the difference between Raid 0 and Raid 1 (or so I hear) is that with Raid 0, 0 stands for how many files you get back if something goes wrong. | 06:32 |
| Stanley00 | learner: yep, and so more ;) | 06:32 |
| almoxarife | dr-willis: probably true, I got opped once, I never figured out where to kick or ban, I don't get opped much, so it was a non issue :) | 06:32 |
| Polah | There's a lot of IRC clients. Pidgin, Empathy, Xchat, Xchat GNOME (simplified interface I think), irssi and probably a lot more | 06:32 |
| katarn | the raid 1 is a backup, like a mirror | 06:32 |
| Polah | Wolfwalker_Prime: I laughed, that's quite a good one. | 06:33 |
| dr-willis | weechat is my fave. kvirc and quassle also | 06:33 |
| === dow is now known as ubunutut | ||
| katarn | raid 0 the 2 hard drive work like 1, so the drive increase the speed | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Pidgin here and irssi | 06:33 |
| Polah | katarn: Theoretically increase the speed, it's not guaranteed. What IS guaranteed is a compromise of data integrity | 06:34 |
| learner | Stanley00, , almoxarife are u fimilear with network manager? | 06:34 |
| katarn | yes i know, but i want the speed | 06:34 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | XChat GNOME I have tried before. It is XChat with all the tools safely locked away from the user. | 06:34 |
| almoxarife | learner: yes, to a degree | 06:35 |
| Stanley00 | learner: nope, I just an end-user :( | 06:35 |
| learner | ok Stanley00 | 06:35 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Regular XChat is great though. What I'm currently using. | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | katarn: raid0 isnt technically raid, it just uses the same idea technology ;) | 06:35 |
| Polah | katarn: Sure, if you're actually getting any decent performance increase. | 06:35 |

| Wolfwalker_Prime | Benkinooby: I hear the real iTunes works well in Wine (Windows emulator.) | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Benkinooby: install ifuse and you can treat it like a normal usb drive | 06:36 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | As I do not (nor will I ever) have an iThing I have no idea if it really works, but a friend of mine has no complaints. | 06:36 |

| ActionParsnip | dr-willis: some do according to the appdb. Not used it personally | 06:38 |
| Polah | Benkinooby, tested what? | 06:38 |
| almoxarife | learner: not enough info, no idea | 06:38 |
| xgt001 | wifi not working on bcm4313 despite having broadcom proprietary drivers.. any help | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Benkinooby: no idea. I don't buy apple rubbish. I only know of ifuse | 06:39 |
| Benkinooby | Wolfwalker_Prime, i read about it... but to be honest itues has it's flaws (like no folder monitoring Oo )... but thank you for that advice... in case nothing works, i'll fall back to that | 06:39 |

| Benkinooby | ActionParsnip, it's not even me (i don't have an mp3-player at all) | 06:40 |
| almoxarife | learner: I will assume though that since it was working fine till I saw no network that the issue is 'no network avail' | 06:40 |
| Benkinooby | ActionParsnip, I will do further investigations to ifuse and how i can be used for media players | 06:40 |
| almoxarife | learner: or, your friend decided to play with 'firewalls' but forgot to tell you? | 06:41 |
| Benkinooby | Polah, ActionParsnip Wolfwalker_Prime thank you all for your input | 06:41 |
| learner | the msg on network applet says "network manager is not running and networking disabled.." and when blutooth is on they says tat " network manager not running and wireless is disabled" | 06:42 |

| ActionParsnip | JZApples: those things ca | 06:52 |
| doodmang | Polah, by including it, will it automatically be mounted, or do I need to add a flag or something | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Can be a pain | 06:52 |
| Polah | doodmang: I guess you're trying to make a removeable key so that the filesystem is only decrypted when that key is inserted? | 06:52 |
| JZApples | actionparsnip, tell me about it | 06:52 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: does it show up as hardware in the 'sound' applet ? | 06:52 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, it does. | 06:52 |

| JZApples | almoxarife, how do i know which hardware profile to choose? | 07:01 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Something is very wrong with my shiny new Ubuntu. I just installed it, it hasn't had time for me to break anything yet. | 07:01 |
| doodmang | Polah, well, users can have their own passphrases on the drive as well, cant they? If you limit the UID and GID, then only one user can use it. In that case, shouldn't permission just be set | 07:02 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: how many pieces of hardware do you see in the hardware tab? | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Bullguard6: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 07:02 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Every time I open a program, the top edge of the window... the part of the window you can click and drag to put the window somewhere else... is above the edge of the screen. | 07:02 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: I have two, one is inputs, the other is outputs | 07:02 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, two devices. One is the X-Fi Titanium and the other is my USB mic. | 07:02 |
| ubububntu | I am getting error about malformed lines. give me example how could it look If my cdrom is mounted here /media/cdrom/ | 07:03 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, i've tried every input possible, nothing works | 07:03 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: the mic you want working is not the usb | 07:03 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, yes. usb works fine | 07:03 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: unplug the usb | 07:03 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, but i would like to use the other port as well | 07:03 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: unplug the usb for testing | 07:04 |
| doodmang | Polah, permissions on the files*. And what about if I wanted to add a passphrase because I had another file to add? | 07:04 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, when i first tried troubleshooting this, the usb wasn't even in my possession, but ok USB unplugged. | 07:04 |

| almoxarife | JZApples: you may need to reboot or at least log out and return, | 07:04 |
| Polah | doodmang: Don't know about a passphrase to add another file, sudo might be able to override read-only though | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ubububntu: has the line to add | 07:05 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, usb went away in devices | 07:05 |

| almoxarife | JZApples: one mic should be a 'mono' | 07:07 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Forget this. Ubuntu these days is totally nuts. Goodbye y'all, and good luck. | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | zykes-: I've seen some gconf commands to make it hide. I've seen the issue myself | 07:07 |

| _Buzzz_ | ActionParsnip: oki have to do that :) thanks anyway | 07:21 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: the machine a dual boot? | 07:21 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, thanks. i tried all that already. no it's not a dual boot. I'll double-check it on a different windows machine, but i know this mic works. | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ubububntu: taught me something new too :) | 07:22 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: starting with a known working mic in the correct jack is a must | 07:22 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, naturally... | 07:22 |
| urlin2u | library, try sudo fsck /dev/sda2 from the live cd | 07:22 |

| JZApples | ActionParsnip, i've noted a few bugs in 11.04 but no idea if they're reported or not. | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | i_is_broke: if you want gnome3, install or upgrade to oneiric when its released, or take the risk of prerelease now | 07:26 |
| i_is_broke | ActionParsnip, thats ok, thats why i asked. | 07:26 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: I have used vlc to trouble shoot, it detects hardware better for some reason, it's a thought | 07:26 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, i have vlc installed, but not sure how to record with it. | 07:27 |

| sunit | ActionParsnip: I know that Karmic is no longer supported | 07:38 |
| roflmaus | Ubuntu server. I've got "connect-debounce failed, port N disabled" and "unable to enumerate USB device on port N" spamming my console. WHYYYYYY | 07:38 |
| geirha | sunit: You probably have to configure it to either listen on 0.0.0.0, or to allow access from other hosts than localhost. | 07:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sunit: so why ask, if you know your release isn't supported | 07:38 |
| JZApples | ActionParsnip, yeah i seen some other people mention that on the internet. kind of ridiculous. | 07:38 |

| sunit | ActionParsnip: I have lots of development and application in this karmic machine. To upgrade , I need to backup huge amount of things | 07:40 |
| rumpe1 | sunit, some web-based applications restrict access to localhost as default (cups-server e.g.) | 07:41 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: the mic has an on/off switch? | 07:41 |
| JZApples | nope, none of them do. i've tried 3 | 07:41 |
| geirha | sunit: An upgrade won't delete your files, and you should be doing regular backups anyway. | 07:41 |
| urlin2u | sunit, you should be backed up anyway. | 07:41 |
| sunit | urlin2u: ok | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | JZApples: whats funny is those whom support Linux enjoy the extra sales for the userbase, otherwise they just alienate them as nobody will buy hardware they cannot make work | 07:42 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, ActionParsnip, i'll just stick with the USB mic. No worries. It would have been nice to have available if i ever needed it though. | 07:42 |
| JZApples | ActionParsnip, Yeah, it makes no sense. | 07:42 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: you said you have vlc, open it and look under 'devices' audio capture | 07:42 |

| JZApples | almoxarife, sorry that was Media > Open Capture Device...that's the screen you're asking me about? | 07:50 |
| almoxarife | JZApples: in the default skin, under 'media' tab is area called 'media browser' | 07:50 |

| almoxarife | JZApples: double click on it, look for feedback | 07:55 |
| JZApples | almoxarife, feedback would be a bar in the bottom right? | 07:55 |

| JZApples | almoxarife, i know what Best Buy is. Why would I ever step foot in one though? So ridiculously over priced. I guess it could. The mic used to work in Windows, but not well. Then again that was probably my mic, i've had to RMA that headset 3 times now. | 08:00 |

| iuytfr | hello there | 08:57 |
| naked89tt | I only have ubuntu on my computer,how could I let grub display when booting? | 08:57 |
| Stanley00 | naked89tt: you can edit /etc/default/grub | 08:57 |
| Stanley00 | naked89tt: and then run sudo update-grub | 08:58 |
| naked89tt | Stanley00, i tried,but cant work | 08:59 |
| Aple | I keep receiving this error when I try to access my File System: "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock" | 08:59 |
| Aple | Can anyone help? This really sucks :( | 08:59 |
| Stanley00 | naked89tt: well, in that case, you can manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 09:00 |
| Stanley00 | naked89tt: add line " set timeout=10" to the beginning of the file | 09:01 |
| Stanley00 | Aple: maybe it has some disk error, try fsck before mounting it | 09:01 |
| Aple | Nevermind, false alarm. I'm silly | 09:01 |
| Aple | I was trying to access my book | 09:02 |
| Aple | Not my actual file system | 09:02 |

| Stanley00 | ouyes_: you just can make it like that when you maximize the windows. | 09:31 |
| ouyes_ | Stanley00, that is my question | 09:31 |
| Stanley00 | ouyes_: an unMaximize window simply can't (and dont need to) to that. | 09:31 |
| ouyes_ | Stanley00, I max the firefox, but it is still the same | 09:32 |
| Stanley00 | ouyes_: firefox need an add on call global menu ( or something like that) too... | 09:33 |

| hroi | damo22: It's a very popular non-sensical activity while bug-checking | 09:45 |
| scarleo | hroi, that script will run once every hour | 09:45 |
| g0tcha | i have win7 installed on my primary hdd, if i plugin a secondary hdd, it should b ok to install ubuntu on it for dual boot, right? | 09:46 |
| scarleo | hroi, you expect it to run every 10th minute its */10 | 09:46 |
| hroi | scarleo: yes you are right, forgot the slash | 09:47 |
| hroi | scarleo: non the less this has been installed fro 24 hours already | 09:47 |

| bonhoffer | what is 5695? | 10:18 |
| kostix | scarleo, it shows a normal update-manager window and then does nothing | 10:19 |
| bonhoffer | ah - that is the pid | 10:19 |
| mint | Hi | 10:19 |
| scarleo | bonhoffer, 5695 is pid, do 'kill 5695' | 10:19 |
| bonhoffer | scarleo: i always do -9 when i kill -- is that needed | 10:19 |
| scarleo | bonhoffer, -9 is a bit harder kill, try without first, if it doesn't die you can do -9 | 10:20 |
| bonhoffer | scarleo: thanks | 10:20 |

| ranjan | Hi all, is it possible to steal the data transferd using sftp????? | 10:20 |
| mint | I just installed Winblows7 on a differant partition on my HDD, and now when I boot, it boots straight to the windows. How can I make it boot to Grub, then I choose 7 or Ubuntu | 10:20 |
| jrib | ranjan: it's encrypted | 10:20 |
| mint | I'm on the ubuntu live cd at the moment | 10:20 |
| MACscr | whats so special about ubuntu that its time is always out of sync when running as a xen guest, but all my centos guest systems are fine | 10:21 |
| scarleo | kostix, sorry, don't know what to do then, maybe add the correct repos manually and do a dist-upgrade | 10:21 |
| ranjan | jrib, ok, and is it possible to decrypt it by a third party? | 10:21 |
| Ycarene | mint - look for information on how to reinstall grub from the livecd. | 10:21 |

| qmr | I want to do things with this disk after the system comes up. I don't think I can disable it in the BIOS anyway | 10:25 |
| kostix | scarleo, well, everything related to fixing this problem I managed to find was about changing the LTS to normal releases checking | 10:25 |
| qmr | jrib: "live system" | 10:25 |
| jrib | qmr: don't understand what you mean by that | 10:26 |

| doodmang | asdjaputra, nope, and the volumes are up | 10:37 |
| doodmang | asdjaputra, and the sound works on another user, so it shouldn't be the card | 10:37 |
| doodmang | asdjaputra, it was working an hour ago | 10:37 |

| Stanley00 | Guest38935: grub2 config file is locate at /boot/grub/grub.cfg, | 10:42 |
| doodmang | asdjaputra, what do you think programs I should look into? I've looked through alsa | 10:42 |

| Stanley00 | szal: so, do you got any idea? | 10:45 |
| === oliver_ is now known as Olleh | ||
| Guest38935 | Stanley00, that file should not be edited as changes will be lost!, im deploying this install for my little bro and i need to make sure that grub works after updates etc... | 10:46 |
| Stanley00 | szal, Guest38935 : how about /etc/grub.d/40_custom? | 10:46 |
| damo22 | grub2 sucks, grub-legacy is easier to use | 10:47 |
| Guest38935 | was thinking that, but is that the correct method for menuitem text changes? | 10:47 |
| Stanley00 | Guest38935: files in /etc/grub.d/is use by update-grub. give it a dig :) | 10:47 |
| Guest38935 | the text and boot default is all i need to change but it must survive an update | 10:47 |
| damo22 | Guest38935: in that case you need to spend an hour or so learning grub2 | 10:48 |
| Guest38935 | looking at the files, 30_os-prober is the script that creates the items, so i was thinking i should -x 30 and make +x 40_custom, | 10:49 |
| === Guest15800 is now known as kad | ||
| jrib | Guest38935: you should be modifying /etc/default/grub to configure grub | 10:49 |
| szal | jrib: that doesn't have the names of Grub entries | 10:49 |
| === kad is now known as Guest74035 | ||
| jrib | nope | 10:49 |
| damo22 | it used to be a heck a lot easier with grub1 to edit menu.lst | 10:50 |
| Guest38935 | the update is my concern as im guessing it will at some point probe again and swap the names back, | 10:50 |
| damo22 | its just a fricken bootloader, not a configurable operating system | 10:51 |
| Guest38935 | the menuitem text is set by the prober, and is the wrong way round ? | 10:51 |
| Guest38935 | damo22, that is ture, im not new to this just grub2 lol | 10:51 |
| Stanley00 | Guest38935: os_prober did its job well, so dont bother change it, just add your script to 40_custom | 10:52 |
| damo22 | guest38935: i know, im new to grub2 as well i hate it | 10:52 |
| Guest38935 | Stanley00, i just want to swap the text, grub2 detect the recovery as loader and loader as recover? | 10:52 |
| Stanley00 | Guest38935: well, then change the number before the file name ;) | 10:53 |
| damo22 | i like to be able to set it like, label "Winblows 7" root (hd0,1) chainloader +1 boot | 10:53 |
| Guest38935 | i just dont want my little bro running the vista recover instead of vista loader lol | 10:55 |
| damo22 | Guest38935: you could always purge grub2 and install grub-legacy | 10:56 |
| Guest38935 | lol, forward man not backward ;) | 10:57 |
| damo22 | some things are meant to be simple not advanced | 10:57 |
| damo22 | eg bootloader | 10:57 |
| samba23 | how to sort cpu usage using TOP | 10:58 |
| Guest38935 | http://pastie.org/2470534 <-- this is the menu at the moment from grub.cfg | 10:58 |
| Guest38935 | sd1 is the recovery and 2 is vista | 10:58 |
| Guest38935 | but you cant just edit the .cfg file any more, so would i just take this lot and place into a 40, then -x the 30 | 10:59 |
| damo22 | Guest38935: put it into a custom thingy | 10:59 |
| damo22 | and pray it doesnt get clobbered | 10:59 |
| Olleh | samba23: top sorts by cpu usage by default.. if you sorted by another coloum you can hit F (or O) and then select cpu% (K i believe) | 11:00 |
| Guest38935 | its take me about a year to convince my little bro to start using Ubuntu so i want it to work forever lol | 11:00 |

| ubottu | jAguAr`: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 11:07 |

| matiu | Hey guys I'm on natty, and I apt-get install postgresql; but it just fails silently when I try to start the service | 12:01 |
| matiu | any direction appreciated | 12:01 |
| Olleh | matiu: checked the logs? | 12:01 |
| matiu | Olleh, log dir for postgres is empty | 12:01 |
| matiu | and syslog has nothing related | 12:01 |
| Olleh | ahh.. im no expert on postgres, but mysql logs by default.. maybe try turning up the log verbosity and see if it creates logs. | 12:03 |
| diwmaron | kurwa! | 12:04 |
| coz_ | Olleh, you might try the ##linux channel since that is not specific to ubuntu | 12:04 |

| Kroki | Hello I want that thunderbird is started upon clicking at the mail symbol in the message indicator | 12:25 |
| captainjamie | xangua: you'll need to move the ntfs which will take ages | 12:25 |
| xangua | Kroki: there are some addons to integrate thunderbird to the message indicator | 12:25 |
| xangua | captainjamie: say that to _shanttu__ , not me ;) | 12:26 |
| Kroki | xangua: SUCH AS? | 12:26 |
| Squarism | how do i create a in memory file? | 12:26 |
| Stanley00 | _shanttu__: personally, your disk layout is a mesh... | 12:26 |
| captainjamie | sorry, chat moving too fast... | 12:26 |
| xangua | Kroki: no idea, you can search on the omg!ubuntu! blog , i saw them there or in the thunderbird addon site | 12:26 |
| _shanttu__ | Stanley00: new install easier then. just asking if there was an easier solution | 12:27 |
| captainjamie | _shanttu__ : move the ntfs all to one side and have the free space in the middle | 12:27 |
| Kroki | xangua: thx | 12:27 |
| Stanley00 | _shanttu__: you can move th XP partition to the right, and join unallocated part with /dev/sda1 | 12:28 |
| Stanley00 | _shanttu__: or simply format unallocated part and mount it as /home | 12:28 |
| _shanttu__ | Stanley00: hmm. what happenes to old home then? | 12:29 |
| Tinkerer1 | hey quick question: vps with ubuntu 11.04/apache2/mysql/php5 running adds up to 125MB ram is normal, can i get it lower? | 12:29 |
| captainjamie | _shanttu__ I would merge all the free space with ntfs and then shrink from the left which will take a few hours | 12:29 |
| Stanley00 | _shanttu__: you have to move it to new /home | 12:29 |
| thunsucker | Tinkerer1, vps? | 12:30 |
| captainjamie | mick1jones: how are you getting on? Does Ubuntu even boot? | 12:30 |
| _shanttu__ | Stanley00: thanks. i guess that is the way to go then | 12:30 |
| poh | Using LibreOffice Impress Ubuntu 11.04 but cannot get the sound effect to work. Any advice? | 12:30 |
| Tinkerer1 | thunsucker, virtual server | 12:30 |
| vlt | Hello. How can I make Ubuntu re-write my grub.cnf to let it boot the first menu item automatically? | 12:31 |
| Stanley00 | _shanttu__: personally, I prefer repartition whole disk ;) | 12:31 |
| poh | Ubuntu 10.10 OpenOffice.org Impress has the same problem | 12:31 |
| thunsucker | Tinkerer1, are you running them in a virtualized software host? | 12:31 |
| captainjamie | vlt: grub.cfg isn't it | 12:31 |
| poh | So I conclude it might related to pulseaudio thingy | 12:31 |
| _shanttu__ | Stanley00: it's an option as weel. would like to try 64 bit this time but could not get natty to boot | 12:31 |
| _shanttu__ | Stanley00: I'll try if lucid works | 12:32 |
| captainjamie | vlt: you edit the custom file with an edited version of grub.cfg. | 12:32 |
| Stanley00 | _shanttu__: then, good luck! ;) | 12:32 |
| Tinkerer1 | thunsucker, oh no i got a physical server with 256MB ram | 12:32 |
| poh | any advice. The sound, for eg. laser, sound too short. Not full length. | 12:32 |
| _shanttu__ | Stanley00: captainjamie thanks for your help | 12:32 |
| cnz | I just did apt-get remove python2.7 | 12:33 |
| cnz | and it's now uninstalling everything | 12:33 |
| Stanley00 | _shanttu__: you are welcome :) | 12:33 |
| captainjamie | no problem | 12:33 |
| cnz | did I just fuck up my system? | 12:33 |
| captainjamie | language | 12:33 |
| thunsucker | Tinkerer1, okay so it's say an old desktop or something? | 12:33 |
| oCean | cnz: mind your language here | 12:33 |
| cnz | oCean: sorry | 12:33 |
| thunsucker | Tinkerer1, or is it actually a virtual server that you pay a monthly subscription for? | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:34 |
| Tinkerer1 | thunsucker, no virtual lol with monthly fee | 12:34 |
| vlt | captainjamie: Yes, grub.cfg. What exactly do I have to so? | 12:34 |
| vlt | *do | 12:34 |
| captainjamie | vlt: Well you need to edit the custom_40 file with your edited grub file and run sudo update-grub | 12:35 |
| cnz | and oCean who are you to tell me to watch my laungage in here? | 12:35 |
| captainjamie | (is it custom_40?) | 12:35 |

| cnz | oCean: you're not an op in here so i won't listen to you kthnx | 12:36 |
| thunsucker | Tinkerer1, your best bet is to optimize apache to use less resources | 12:36 |
| thunsucker | Tinkerer1, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/perf-tuning.html | 12:36 |
| vlt | captainjamie: There's no /custom_40 and how to edit one file with another? | 12:36 |

| [DeVil-BoY] | i've been chasing this issue for 4 days | 12:37 |
| vlt | captainjamie: What does "edit the custom_40 file with your edited grub file" mean? | 12:37 |
| thunsucker | [DeVil-BoY], what release are you running | 12:38 |
| * [DeVil-BoY] is away, auto-away after 20 minutes (3h 29m 8s ago) | 12:38 | |
| oCean | [DeVil-BoY]: please disable that away announcement | 12:38 |
| captainjamie | vlt: right. do sudo gedit /pathtogrubfolder/grub.cfg (can't remember the path sorry) then copy and paste it into /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 12:38 |
| [DeVil-BoY] | 8.10 | 12:38 |

| Stanley00 | vlt: it's /boot/grub/ | 12:39 |
| vlt | Can anyone confirm captainjamie's suggestion, please? | 12:39 |
| [DeVil-BoY] | not sure how that will affect the rest of the setup | 12:39 |
| vlt | Stanley00: Thank you. | 12:39 |
| [DeVil-BoY] | that's why i'm trying to solve this issue | 12:39 |

| huangheyi | can anybody teach me how to use the IRC ? | 12:41 |
| theadmin | vlt: You should run sudo update-grub on your Ubuntu system, make sure grub is installed properly | 12:42 |
| theadmin | huangheyi: You already do ;) | 12:42 |
| vlt | captainjamie, Stanley00: Why do I have to edit the file. Can't I just "cp grub.cfg /etc/.../40_..."? | 12:42 |
| Myrtti | huangheyi: congrats, you know how to use IRC | 12:42 |
| captainjamie | vlt: you haven't rebooted have you? | 12:42 |
| delcain | my documents from my folder Documents desappeard thats tomorrow | 12:42 |
| Stanley00 | vlt: try run update-grub, and then reboot ? | 12:42 |
| vlt | Stanley00: Tries twice already :/ | 12:42 |
| vlt | *tried | 12:42 |
| captainjamie | vlt: can we go into a seperate chat and ill talk you through it | 12:42 |
| theadmin | huangheyi: Some commands you may want are /server irc.example.org, /join #ubuntu, /part, /quit and probably /query ubottu (and similar) | 12:43 |
| Stanley00 | vlt: update-grub use scripts int /etc/grub.d/ to make /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 12:43 |
| huangheyi | thank u , means that we talk through command? | 12:43 |
| Stanley00 | vlt: what did you do to files in /etc/grub.d/ ? | 12:44 |
| theadmin | huangheyi: It's also a good idea to put the nickname of the person you're talking to in front of your message. You can type the first feew letters of the nickname and hit tab. Try typing "thead" and hitting tab, for instance | 12:44 |
| [DeVil-BoY] | the update fails to commit | 12:44 |

| ansjh | shabbaranks: is the listen ip correct? | 12:55 |
| shabbaranks | how do I check that? But surely if the server is set to dhcp then a listen ip wouldnt be configured? | 12:55 |
| shabbaranks | as it could change every so often | 12:56 |

| safire | has anyone encountered the "Failed" error when downloading things to /tmp with firefox? | 13:15 |
| jessD | arussel : Look for a CDDB option in your ripper | 13:15 |
| jessD | arussel : If it's on, it should query the cddb database out on the net and get your track info after it reads the cd | 13:15 |
| linuxuz3r | isnt that a file in it self | 13:15 |
| linuxuz3r | i mean if the instrumentals sounds ok then other sounds must play ok | 13:16 |
| linuxuz3r | it maybe depends on your audio card | 13:16 |
| safire | Specifically, if you click on a pdf link on the web and click open (no plugin out of browser acroread), It'll download but say Failed | 13:16 |
| safire | if I browse to /tmp/doc.pdf, I can still open it with acroread manually | 13:17 |

| gdamico | Currently using Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, what do I need to do to upgrade to Natty Narwhal? | 13:34 |
| user1 | no | 13:35 |
| EgyParadox | gdamico: You need to upgrade to 10.10 first | 13:35 |
| glebaron | gdamico, you should seriously consider waiting for 12.04. | 13:35 |
| Triscar0 | cmd to see hardware speccs? | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | newb, it's not dvdplayer , it's the dvd disk's regional codes that have to be bypassed ..install ubuntu-restricted-extras , that should saolve your problem | 13:36 |
| gdamico | EgyParadox: I keep my system up tp date nut have never seen an option to update versions | 13:36 |
| bazhang | Triscar0, sudo lshw | 13:36 |
| Triscar0 | thnx bazhang! | 13:36 |
| mulkave | @gdamico try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in the terminal | 13:36 |
| bazhang | gdamico, check the only go for LTS and uncheck it | 13:37 |
| gdamico | mulkave: Thanks, I'll try that | 13:37 |
| bazhang | mulkave, thats not correct | 13:37 |
| deanc | I accidentally left work without disconnecting from my vpn. So i did a hard reboot. How can I check that im no longer connected? | 13:37 |
| EgyParadox | gdamico:sudo do-release-upgrade | 13:37 |
| EgyParadox | if u want to upgrade to maverick | 13:37 |
| newb | BluesKaj, do I have to install them seperatly, i.e. each program, I typed the comand son their website into comand line | 13:37 |
| mulkave | @bazhang sorry I have 11.04 here already | 13:38 |
| mulkave | seen this command quiet a lot and thought it would help him do that | 13:38 |
| bazhang | mulkave, a common misconception, no worries | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | newb, are you going to install ubuntu-restricted-extras or not , if not then you will continue to have regional code problems | 13:38 |
| mulkave | any Eclipse-C/C++ and gtkmm experts here ? | 13:39 |
| Triscar0 | i had to use dhclient eth1 to get ip on my server, will it get ip automatic next time i reboot ? or ? | 13:40 |

| ubottu | Int-Vent-ive: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 13:45 |
| bazhang | Int-Vent-ive, or get the mini iso | 13:45 |
| Triscar0 | i had to write "dhclient eth1" to get ip on my server, when i reboot will it still get ip or do i have to config somthing? | 13:45 |
| bazhang | !minimal | Int-Vent-ive | 13:45 |
| ubottu | Int-Vent-ive: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:45 |

| gentoofan | I am taking a graduate operating systems course and I have been given access to a 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04.3 virtual machine. I need to chroot into a 64-bit linux installation. Is there any way to install a 64-bit kernel via the package manager? | 14:26 |
| xSmurf | another issue I'm having is that the if-up scripts don't seem to ever get executed | 14:26 |
| OerHeks | gentoofan, sorry, not possible. | 14:26 |
| edbian | gentoofan: There is no way (that I know of) to switch from 32 bit ubuntu to 64 bit without installing. What is the ultimate goal here? | 14:26 |
| gentoofan | eboyjr: I don't want 64-bit Ubuntu. I want a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland. | 14:27 |
| ronan__ | iPhone sucks | 14:27 |
| ronan__ | Mac OS sucks | 14:27 |
| ronan__ | iPad sucks | 14:27 |

| FloodBot1 | ronan__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:27 |
| gentoofan | eboyjr: Sorry, that was meant for edbian. | 14:27 |
| gentoofan | So is there no way to install the 64-bit Ubuntu kernel on 32-bit Ubuntu via apt-get? | 14:29 |
| edbian | gentoofan: I've never seen something like that. It's likely to break everything. You can search for the package that contains the 64 bit kernel here and install it (it's a deb) : http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 14:29 |
| sipior | gentoofan: probably safer simply to build a 64-bit kernel. | 14:29 |
| aureianimus | so, i have these broken packages: python-uno and python-aptdaemon, and i figured i could try remove --purge and then reinstalling | 14:29 |
| gentoofan | sipior: I was hoping apt-get could save me the trouble. I was feeling lazy, but I guess I will have to do that. | 14:30 |
| sipior | gentoofan: as a gentoo fan, i imagine you know the drill :-) | 14:30 |
| aureianimus | and i removed some packages that depend on them meanwhile, amongst which the software center, and i can't force them down or reinstall, so now i don't have a software center | 14:30 |
| aureianimus | http://paste.ubuntu.com/680604/ this is what sudo apt-get install gives now | 14:31 |
| aureianimus | any ideas how i could get my software center back? | 14:31 |
| gentoofan | sipior: Umm... yeah. I probably should have changed my nick before asking that question here. I want to put 64-bit Gentoo on the system and I need someway to chroot into it from the existing 32-bit Ubuntu installation. I was hoping no one would realize the connection. | 14:31 |
| gentoofan | For anyone curious about how you replace one Linux distribution with anther with nothing but root access, read man pivot_root. Anyway, thanks for the informtaion everyone. :) | 14:33 |

| Exodus | al-sindi, it depends, what are you hiding it from? | 15:06 |
| Exodus | al-sindi, and for what reason? | 15:06 |
| Fenixdeux | glebaron: wouldn't you suggest starting with 'kill -15' ? | 15:06 |
| Fenixdeux | it's not as brutal as 'kill -9' is | 15:07 |
| al-sindi | here our ISP doesnt allow us to veiw sites which are blocked like torproject.org , proxyservers.ca etc.. | 15:07 |
| glebaron | Fenixdeux, sorry you're correct. | 15:07 |
| newb | glebaron, still going | 15:07 |
| Fenixdeux | newb: after kill -9 .. uh-oh | 15:07 |
| newb | yep | 15:08 |
| Exodus | Fenixdeux, the good news is that isn't something OS X only. That is just OS X using that keyboard layout. You just have to select it in linux like you did or whoever installed that OS X did. | 15:08 |
| Fenixdeux | next up: kernel panic | 15:08 |
| glebaron | newb, you must be entering the wrong process id number. | 15:08 |
| newb | nope i see it in top | 15:08 |
| al-sindi | Exodus do u know something about hiding IP ?? | 15:08 |
| Exodus | al-sindi, you can't hide your IP from your ISP. | 15:08 |

| Fenixdeux | al-sindi: get some psyBNC accounts ? | 15:08 |

| sunil | 11/04 | 15:09 |
| newb | the pid is 1724 | 15:09 |
| Exodus | al-sindi, doesn't mean you can't bypass your ISP's limitations. Just find another proxy, I suggest you google it as this has nothing to do with Ubuntu and that's what this channel is for. | 15:09 |
| edbian | newb: ignore me | 15:10 |

| glebihan | tetsuo55, that's not a valid solution if you have more than a few users | 16:23 |
| nnull | paulh-paulh, probably easiest to just reinstall, copy over whatever you need salvaged on a live boot from your media if you didnt make a seperate home partition | 16:23 |
| paulh-paulh | so there is no way to kind of "rollback" ? | 16:23 |
| glebihan | !downgrade | paulh-paulh | 16:24 |

| tetsuo55 | glebihan: also i only have 1 partition for all data | 16:24 |
| glebihan | tetsuo55, well I would still not recommend using separate partitions for home folders, what would you like it to be that way ? | 16:25 |
| tetsuo55 | nnull: that link you gave does not seem to apply to my case | 16:26 |

| thecpaptain_ | yo guys, i'm trying to change the security of a router, and i'm trying to access it to do so, but I am unable to find the router's IP adress, or the one I find simply isn't working [16:27] <thecpaptain> right now i'm operating in windows, as I am unable to access the LAN via Ubuntu | 16:39 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Wired or WiFi? | 16:40 |
| thecpaptain_ | WiFi | 16:40 |
| nnull | router brand? | 16:40 |
| Polah | thecpaptain_: Default router IP is generally 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, if you go to your network settings on Windows you should get a gateway address, that's the router IP | 16:41 |
| thecpaptain_ | that I don't know, its my landlords router | 16:41 |
| nnull | 10.1.1.1 / 10.0.0.1 | 16:41 |
| thecpaptain_ | hm, yeah I've tried the standard IP-adresses, non work | 16:41 |
| thecpaptain_ | hmmm | 16:41 |
| nnull | also highly possibly | 16:41 |
| nnull | .254 also.. | 16:41 |
| thecpaptain_ | i'll try the 10.1.1.1 one | 16:41 |
| sipior | thecpaptain_: windows has a traceroute utility, doesn't it? | 16:41 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Do you have permission from landlord? | 16:41 |
| atyoung | lets not forget 192.168.100.1 or 1.100 | 16:42 |
| thecpaptain_ | yes I do, and i asked him if he knew the ip adress, but he didn't know | 16:42 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: If so, the router's IP will more than likely be default route. i.e. 192.168.1.1 | 16:42 |
| thecpaptain_ | hm, how do i use the traceroute ? | 16:42 |
| thecpaptain_ | hm yeah i tried that one, but it doesn't work | 16:42 |
| nnull | heres a hint.. whats your ip address ? | 16:42 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Bring up the command prompt and issue command ipconfig | 16:42 |
| jnsl_ | how can i tell if port 3306 is open? also i have apparmor running =) | 16:42 |
| nnull | lol | 16:42 |
| thecpaptain_ | done | 16:43 |
| thecpaptain_ | next ? | 16:43 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: what is the route (Default GW) | 16:43 |
| usr13 | ? | 16:43 |
| thecpaptain_ | 10.0.1.1 | 16:43 |
| thecpaptain_ | but that one doesn't work when i try connecting to it via Chrome | 16:43 |
| thecpaptain_ | and pinging it is no problem | 16:43 |
| skrub | I'm trying to run 4 monitors, 2 on an ATI card and 2 on an NVidia. Can anyone help me out? | 16:43 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: take your browser to 10.0.1.1 | 16:43 |
| thecpaptain_ | doesn't work | 16:44 |
| gumus | Hello all! | 16:44 |
| Pici | jnsl_: netstet -tan should show you | 16:44 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: What is make and model of router? | 16:44 |
| gumus | Ubuntu doesn't recognize my built-in camera. Does anyone know how to fix it ? | 16:44 |
| nnull | thecpaptain_, do 10.0.1.254 | 16:44 |
| thecpaptain_ | no idea | 16:44 |
| thecpaptain_ | hm aight, i'll try .254 | 16:44 |
| gumus | there must be a solution. At least can somebody tell me how to make ubuntu recognize a driver ? | 16:45 |
| nnull | in ipconfig -a it should have the ip of your gateway... | 16:45 |
| gumus | I hate this community | 16:45 |
| jnsl_ | Pici, it says: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 16:45 |
| nnull | if you have an ip it aqquired it from somewhere.. and your PC knows where, you just need to ask it lol | 16:45 |
| * nnull feels like the little girl from never ending story #1 | 16:45 | |
| jnsl_ | 127.0.0.1:3306, dose that mean i cant connect from remote to it ? | 16:45 |
| sipior | gumus: we think highly of you as well. | 16:45 |
| thecpaptain_ | .254 doesn't work | 16:45 |
| atyoung | Not all routers have a web interface you realize | 16:45 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Some routers have an option to only accept connection from wired and/or from one particular IP | 16:46 |
| Pici | jnsl_: so it is listening locally, but other computers will not be able to get to it. | 16:46 |
| nnull | atyoung, i do, but they have ip addresses that are pingable a good amount :) | 16:46 |
| thecpaptain_ | ah | 16:46 |
| thecpaptain_ | i see | 16:46 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Refer to router manual for details. | 16:46 |
| jnsl_ | Pici Ok thanks for clearing that up! i think i know what must be done :) | 16:46 |
| atyoung | nnull, He said he could ping it. | 16:46 |
| === rafa_ is now known as rafaht | ||
| nnull | atyoung, lol ahh must of missed that | 16:47 |
| thecpaptain_ | if I assume that is the case, then I either need to change that by asking him (he isn't all that hi-tech) or by figuring how to solve the original problem | 16:47 |
| skrub | I'm trying to run 4 monitors, 2 on an ATI card and 2 on an NVidia. Can anyone help me out? | 16:47 |
| lo-fi_ | how long should wpa_supplicant take once i run it | 16:47 |
| thecpaptain_ | which is that my Ubuntu is unable to connect to the WPA2 securty it has | 16:47 |
| atyoung | A good example might be those apple airport routers that don't have a web interface at all, and default to 10.0.1.x | 16:47 |
| thecpaptain_ | or at least unable to access it | 16:47 |
| Polah | thecpaptain_, run ipconfig /all in command prompt and pastebin the output please | 16:48 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Sounds like you are unable to connect to the router because of unknown passphrase or wep key (password). Right? | 16:48 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Is that correct? | 16:48 |
| nnull | atyoung, do they have ssh/telnet or anything? | 16:48 |
| thecpaptain_ | hm no, I have the password correct, I have accessed it in Windows | 16:48 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Then what is the problem? What exactly do you need to accomplish? | 16:48 |
| atyoung | nnull, I'm not entire sure how they work, apple has their own interface built into osx | 16:48 |
| nnull | atyoung, mk | 16:49 |
| atyoung | nnull, probably works via some kind of telnet, on a non standard port. | 16:49 |
| nnull | atyoung, just never come across one is why i ask | 16:49 |
| nnull | but yeah | 16:49 |
| atyoung | nnull, hehe when you do, you'll be annoyed. | 16:49 |
| lo-fi_ | so im running "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/home/lo-fi/wpa.conf" and its just been sitting there for about 10 minutes not doing anything, anyone have any tips? | 16:50 |

| tetsuo55 | how do i exit vim | 16:50 |
| Pici | tetsuo55: :q! | 16:50 |
| nnull | i stay as far away from mac as i can, not for any sort of political or cultural view, their stuff has just always given me the shivers for some reason lol | 16:50 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13 - the original problem is that i'm unable to access the network using ubuntu | 16:51 |
| nnull | lo-fi, grab a beer some chips and turn on the tele | 16:51 |
| tetsuo55 | Pici: i get error 37 | 16:51 |
| thecpaptain_ | since i've heard that it might be because of the WPA2 security in the router, I intended to change to WEP or similar to fix it | 16:51 |
| lo-fi_ | so this is normal then? | 16:51 |
| Pici | tetsuo55: You may want to ask in #vim, I'm not familiar with that | 16:51 |
| nnull | lo-fi, or just use the default network manager, which if is not working, consult installing a correct driver | 16:52 |
| thecpaptain_ | and how do i type to specific users btw? making their names red and all ? | 16:52 |
| Pici | thecpaptain_: just use your tab key to complete their nicks. | 16:52 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: You can not duplicate the process the windows PC uses? Tell it to show you the passphrase, (or what ever). What type of security is it using? | 16:52 |

| dude | i got a problem cccam cannot read my smargo on natty | 16:53 |
| defunkt | is there a simple way to echo a command to a running process... i know in /proc/<process id>/fd you can echo text to a terminal screen but i cant quite get it to work | 16:53 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: If you're wondering what security the Router is using? I think its WPA2, but I'm guessing you're asking me to verify | 16:53 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Look at the connection configuration the Windows PC uses. | 16:53 |
| lo-fi_ | nnull what would be the default network manager? | 16:53 |
| nnull | defunkt, google --stdin stdout | 16:54 |
| defunkt | thnx null | 16:54 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: hm yeah I just did, its WPA2-Personal | 16:54 |

| nnull | atyoung, yah | 16:55 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: hm, I haven't verified it to be the actual reason, but talking to people have lead it to seem the most likely | 16:55 |
| prakas | i am trying to connect to an AP in iwconfig gives me timeout! signal strength of the AP is -74dBm | 16:55 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Does the network-manager come up and ask for passphrase? | 16:55 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: i'm able to access other networks in Ubuntu, and it finds other networks and even the network i'm trying to access, it just keeps processing when i'm trying to access it | 16:55 |
| atyoung | then it should give you all you need to know really. | 16:55 |
| nnull | prakas, thats decent, not good, but connectable | 16:55 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: yes, and it automatically sets it to WPA2-personal | 16:55 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: and even though I put the correct phrase, it doesn't allow me access | 16:56 |

| usr13 | Rigin: sudo apt-get install wine | 17:05 |
| prakas | sahilsk: even the executable binaries differ in format. windows uses PE. linux uses ELF | 17:05 |
| prakas | sahilsk: your windows drivers wont work in linux | 17:06 |
| Phoenix87 | nnull, googling around it seems that this could be something related to 2.6.38-11 | 17:06 |
| thecpaptain__ | usr13: aight i'm back, or at least logged on from ubuntu | 17:06 |
| Polah | prakas: Actually, ndiswrapper allows usage of XP drivers for some hardware | 17:06 |

| usr13 | o | 17:07 |
| Corey | lo-fi_: "Try it and see." | 17:08 |
| thecpaptain__ | usr13: i've just logged on to another one, that uses mobile broadband connection | 17:08 |
| Corey | You're not likely to break anything. | 17:08 |
| prakas | usr13: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "type ssid of network" | 17:08 |
| usr13 | Well yea, tell the network manager to tyr the other one. | 17:08 |
| Rigin | my id in teamviewer is 886 332 807. | 17:08 |

| Rigin | my password in team viewer is 2368 | 17:09 |
| usr13 | Rigin: Who are you telling this to? | 17:09 |
| Rigin | pls demonstrate it to me | 17:09 |
| thecpaptain__ | usr13: should i try a test or anything like that while i'm at it ? | 17:09 |
| usr13 | Rigin: You need to turn off teamviewer now. | 17:09 |
| usr13 | Rigin: DO it privately. | 17:09 |
| prakas | Rigin: dont share your ids with the public anyone can login and damage your configurations | 17:09 |
| lo-fi_ | i guess im just confused as to how long wpa_supplicant should take | 17:10 |
| jsidhu | is there a update/fix for apache 2.2.20 that fixes the DOS voln. in ubuntu 10.04? I believe it currently has 2.2.14 | 17:10 |

| Merdam | what's the difference between ubuntu and debian? | 17:10 |
| Merdam | They are both linux, right? Same thing practically? | 17:11 |
| Spikestuff | If I don't partition and format my whole Hard Disk, will I still be able to use my CD/DVD Drive to install another OS from a LiveCD? | 17:11 |

| swiss_chris | Hi - I have a question regarding default vhosts in apache | 17:12 |
| swiss_chris | I have various sites-available. | 17:12 |
| swiss_chris | and one of them is default. | 17:12 |
| swiss_chris | I presume it's the one lowes on the alphabetical order. | 17:12 |
| swiss_chris | Can I override that alphabetical criterion? | 17:12 |
| swiss_chris | Can I choose which sites-available vhost is my default? | 17:12 |
| Spikestuff | skrub: Are you running Ubuntu 11.04? | 17:12 |
| swiss_chris | I erased all vhosts in httpd.conf | 17:12 |
| man567 | what can i get the best softwaer for ubuntu | 17:13 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain: Was it associating with the essid? iwconfig will tell you if it picked up the essid. | 17:13 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain: If so, it is possible that the DHCP server is not turned on. | 17:13 |
| skrub | @Spikestuff yes | 17:13 |
| tool_kit | can i get a proxy for ubuntu? | 17:13 |
| Spikestuff | man567: Try the Ubuntu Software Center to get a bunch of useful software. | 17:13 |
| Spikestuff | skrub: Go to System Settings, then under "Hardware" go to Monitors and you should be able to configure a dual-screen setup there. | 17:14 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: hm, i ran iwconfig just now when i'm connected to the other network, I should run it when i'm trying to access the other one right ? | 17:14 |
| tool_kit | and whats the best way to speed it up? | 17:14 |
| man567 | tq spikestuff | 17:14 |
| skrub | Spikestuff: it isn't that easy, only the ATI monitors show up and even those cannot be configured | 17:14 |

| swiss_chris | glebihan: that lets me create a new default vhost. but I would like to reuse an existing vhost and just tell apache somehow that it's the default. | 17:17 |
| samuelsapps | man567 it's depend how your's ISP/Office blocking method | 17:17 |
| prakas | tool_kit: i got a realtek hda audio chip and it works without issues in ubuntu 10.10 | 17:17 |
| swiss_chris | In fact, I symlinked the "default" vhost site to the vhost I want, but it seems that has no effect. | 17:17 |
| swiss_chris | apache prefers to use the vhost with the name lowest on the alphabet. | 17:18 |
| glebihan | swiss_chris, you can modify your exiting vhosts according to that documentation in order to make it the default | 17:18 |

| skrub | Spikestuff: I'm not sure how to add another device to this... only the ATI card is showing up in the xorg.conf | 17:19 |

| hamedmmm | where can i download dialup driver??? | 17:20 |
| man567 | usr13 malaysia @ malay language | 17:20 |

| thecpaptain_ | usr13: any ideas ? | 17:22 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: essid is the network name that a Wireless Access Point uses. The first step in accessing a Wireless Access Point is getting the Wireless Network Adapter to assign itself the same essid that the Wireless Access Point uses. | 17:22 |
| lo-fi_ | ok so using iwconfig i was able to get wlan0 to recognise the essid of my router, and now im running dhclient wlan0 for an ip, but i know the router has a WPA which i know, so i dont think this is going to work | 17:22 |
| Featurefreak | ubuntuApps, that would be awsome | 17:22 |

| Featurefreak | or Uc2 :P | 17:22 |
| samuelsapps | man567:one way is you can use proxy, there's lot of proxy in the net, try find one | 17:22 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: If there is encryption, that must be negotiated first. | 17:22 |
| Spikestuff | skrub: Probably with messing around with some sort of configuration file, we just need to know which one... | 17:22 |

| glebihan | Spikestuff, you can't format it while it's mounted | 17:24 |

| samuelsapps | actually to by pass website, you can google it how to by pass blocked website, you can find a lot of method you can use | 17:24 |
| samuelsapps | good luck! | 17:24 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: any ideas ? | 17:25 |
| swiss_chris | glebihan: In the vhost I want to use as default, I entered <VirtualHost _default_:80>, then restarted apache. however apache2ctl -S still shows the alphabetically lower vhost as default. | 17:25 |
| swiss_chris | what might I be doing wrong? | 17:25 |
| Spikestuff | glebihan: So I would have to unmount it and then format it? | 17:25 |
| glebihan | hamedmmm, you don't "install" sources packages, you download them, and that's done with "apt-get source packagenam" | 17:25 |
| gumus | nobody ? | 17:25 |
| glebihan | Spikestuff, yes | 17:25 |
| gumus | nobody knows how to do it ? | 17:25 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Once the proper passphrase is entered and received by the Wireless Access Point, the PC's Wireless Network Adapter can associate using the same essid (name) as the Wireless Access Point. Then the PCs Wireless Network Adapter asks for IP information from the Wireless Access Point's DHCP server. If the DHCP server receives the request and sends back proper IP information, the Wireless Network Adapter on your PC will use that information to establis | 17:26 |

| usr13 | thecpaptain_: We can not make all that stuff work, only you can. | 17:26 |
| glebihan | swiss_chris, well I'm not sure then. I've never had that kind of issues, I have one vhost without a ServerName directive, which is taken as default by apache | 17:27 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: yeah I figured as much, but how do I go about doing it ? | 17:27 |

| thecpaptain_ | usr13: so you don't think the problem might be the WPA2 connection and Ubuntu ? | 17:30 |
| swiss_chris | thumbs: the guys at #ubuntu told me about http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/vhosts/examples.html#default and when that didn't work asked me to get back to you guys :-) | 17:30 |
| jorge | @swiss_chris: the documentation does say that _default_ catches requests NOT serviced by any other vhost... check the other vhosts | 17:31 |
| the_owl | 17:31 | |
| swiss_chris | jorge: aha. | 17:31 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Yes I DO think the problem is with the WPA2 authentication. More than likely, yes. | 17:32 |
| prakas | thecpaptain_: why dont u specify the essid of your ap in iwconfig? | 17:32 |
| swiss_chris | jorge: so there's no way to specify which vhost should be serviced first. | 17:32 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: If y ou could turn off the encryption, that would do the trick. | 17:32 |
| the_owl2 | hi | 17:32 |
| the_owl | how i can ho the_owl2 | 17:32 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: But we can not do that for you. Only you can. | 17:32 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: and for that i need to access the router, hence the router's configuration challenge right ? | 17:32 |
| the_owl | hi the owl2 | 17:33 |
| thecpaptain_ | prakas: hm how do i do that ? | 17:33 |
| the_owl | good name | 17:33 |
| jorge | @swiss_chris, i don't see what would be the ponint of having two vhosts that match the same ip/hostname and port | 17:33 |
| the_owl2 | thx | 17:33 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: You need to know the make and model of the router. YOu probably also need a wired connection to it, etc. | 17:33 |

| the_owl | maybe you have my name because we are the same people? | 17:33 |

| glebihan | swiss_chris, if you have a ServerName directive like "ServerName www.test.com" inside your vhost, then this vhost will only be used for requests made on the www.test.com domain | 17:38 |
| akerl | hamedmmm: I told you. aircrack is used from the command line | 17:38 |
| swiss_chris | glebihan: yes, but I can also access those same vhosts via IP address if they are recognized/chosen by apache as "default" server. | 17:38 |
| usr13 | ascheel: The link you are sending... could it possibly be http://pastebin.com/gsCtztW5 ? | 17:38 |
| glebihan | swiss_chris, ok do you have a vhost without a ServerName directive ? | 17:38 |
| swiss_chris | glebihan: how would I quickly find that out? | 17:39 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Yes | 17:39 |
| glebihan | swiss_chris, also do you have several IPs pointing to your server ? | 17:39 |

| rabbi11 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/680729/ This is what i get during "Check" in Update Manager... Any important files or updates are missing ? should I take any steps or just ignore it.. just worried of system files not getting updated. | 17:39 |
| glebihan | swiss_chris, no quicker way than to check them one by one | 17:39 |
| swiss_chris | glebihan: 127.0.0.1. and the LAN one. | 17:39 |
| usr13 | hamedmmm: What did you install originally? | 17:40 |
| ascheel | (fixed my link, thanks usr13): Can someone please take a look at http://pastebin.com/gsCtztW5 and tell me what's going on? dmesg shows tons of 'link up' messages for my NIC, a r8169 chipset.

| swiss_chris | glebihan: I checked, none | 17:40 |
| swiss_chris | glebihan: they all have servername directives | 17:41 |
| maalac | crash1hd: it has 6 SATA Ports built-lan and Video card | 17:41 |
| glebihan | swiss_chris, then remove the ServerName directive from the vhost you want to be default | 17:41 |

| swiss_chris | glebihan: no difference | 17:42 |
| Faustus2 | is there a way to make symlink-results show up in 'locate' results? | 17:42 |

| Spikestuff | I am running a LiveCD with Ubuntu 11.04, can someone help me with creating a new partition that has the least memory that Ubuntu can use so I can format the rest of my hard drive from the former installation? | 17:43 |
| glebihan | swiss_chris, weird... well one workaround would be to put your default vhost in a file named "0default" so that it would be first alphabetically | 17:43 |

| jxshxx | Help! Trying to load 10.04LTS on a laptop. CD loads, tells me to reboot ... nothing happens after reboot. Other options? | 17:45 |
| swiss_chris | glebihan: ha! In the mean time I did exactly that: "0_default" and "0_default-ssl". Works like a charm :-) But I had to put the ServerName back in for 127.0.0.1 to work for ssl - don't know why but o.k. | 17:45 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Yes | 17:45 |
| maalac | crash1hd: there are newer boards same as that ..that's why i currently have ..works great for me.. | 17:46 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: if i type the commands you showed me, will I not lose network manager before its able to install wicd ? | 17:46 |

| === juliano is now known as Guest99789 | ||
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: its necessary to remove network manager for it to work then ? | 17:47 |
| crash1hd | maalac, hmm does it have onboard video? cause what I see doesnt | 17:47 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Sorry, my mistake. | 17:47 |
| usr13 | and I know better! | 17:47 |
| swiss_chris | glebihan: what I find really weird is that there is no way to configure which vhost apache takes as default. would be easy enough to make "default" the standard default vhost file. besides, on #httpd they don't recognize or work with sites-available. seems to be a foreign concept over there. | 17:47 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: no worries, shit happens | 17:47 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: no need to apologize even :) | 17:48 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: but it is necessary to remove network manager ? | 17:48 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: or should I install wicd and try it without removing first ? | 17:48 |
| swiss_chris | glebihan: well, it's almost 8pm over here. need some sugar and rest. cheers, and thanks a lot for the help. really appreciate it. | 17:48 |

| glebihan | swiss_chris, you're welcome | 17:49 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain_: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager | 17:49 |
| thecpaptain_ | usr13: got it | 17:49 |
| usr13 | use this command ^^^^^ | 17:49 |

| usr13 | thecpaptain_: Good. Now try and connect again. | 17:53 |
| chesterbdo | Hello. When I go to download Ubuntu, 32bit is the default. And in my Virtual Box host, 32bit is the default. I have a 64bit processor, as I'm sure most people do. Do I use 64bit or not? | 17:53 |
| johnny45t4332 | i think so | 17:54 |
| usr13 | chesterbdo: That is up to you. I recommend 32bit | 17:54 |
| Vaati | hello all | 17:54 |
| usr13 | chesterbdo: Unless you have a good reason to use 64bit, go for 32bit. | 17:54 |
| chesterbdo | usr13: But why on earth would I use 32bit software on my 64bit processor? What is the issue? | 17:54 |
| rhin0 | chesterbdo: 64 bit is faster | 17:55 |
| rhin0 | use 64 bit | 17:55 |
| johnny45t4332 | @chesterbo 64bit works fine nowadays | 17:55 |
| rhin0 | there is no advantage to running a 32 bit version of ubuntu on a 64 bit processor | 17:55 |
| dabukalam | chesterbdo: how much memory do you have? | 17:55 |
| chesterbdo | dabukalam: 8gb i think | 17:56 |
| usr13 | chesterbdo: How much RAM do you have? What do you intend to do with your PC? What 64bit apps will you be using? What really large files will you need to negotiate? What CPU intensive apps will you be using? | 17:56 |
| glebihan | chesterbdo, then definitely 64 bits | 17:56 |
| rhin0 | chesterbdo: you won't encounter any problems running 64 bit ... 8gb? you won't meet that not even 1/4 of that | 17:56 |
| dabukalam | chesterbdo: then definitely go 64bit | 17:56 |
| gumus | guys Ubuntu doesn't detect my built-in webcam. Can you help me ? | 17:56 |
| usr13 | chesterbdo: Again. It is up to you. Only you can make that decision. | 17:56 |
| chesterbdo | But why would I ever want to use 32bit? What is the advantage? | 17:56 |
| glebihan | usr13, with 8gb he *needs* 64 bits | 17:56 |
| dabukalam | chesterbdo: no advantage any more | 17:56 |
| thebwt | what channel is appropriate for 11.10b1 discussion? | 17:57 |
| rhin0 | there is no advantage it is only there to run on 32 bit processors there is the option (for some reason) it will run on 64 bit processors | 17:57 |
| dabukalam | chesterbdo: 64bit is pretty much supported now | 17:57 |
| usr13 | chesterbdo: there are a number of advantages to staying with 32bit. But again, it is up to you. | 17:57 |
| johnny45t4332 | some outdated applications might be buggy running on 64bits, but most apps should run fine on 64 | 17:57 |

When I get to the login screen, all I see is a flickering white box instead of the login dialog. The background displays fine. My hunch is that this problem is not related to the video driver, since I've reinstalled | 17:59 |
| johnny45t4332 | xserver-xorg-video-radeon and deinstalled fglrx. I deleted the xorg.conf and tried different configurations, all with the same result. This only occurred after a recent update - though I don't know which packages got update. Any ideas? thanks | 17:59 |
| gumus | dabukalam: and also ubuntu doesn't recognize my built-in cam. do you have any idea ? | 17:59 |
| usr13 | chesterbdo: I have a 64bit system but it is also multilib. Setting up multilib is complicated and you may, or may not need it. It is up to you. Install what suits your needs. As was just pointed out, most of the software you will use is available in 64bit, probably all, but we have no way of knowing. If, in fact you need 32bit libraries, you can install them as needed. | 17:59 |

| Janusman | dabukalam: uhm, anything more specific? =) | 18:00 |
| Polah | Luig1: No, dpkg -l will give you a list of installed packages though. | 18:00 |

| glebihan | Luig1, Polah yes there is a tool for that, can't remember how it's called though, let me check | 18:01 |
| Luig1 | Is there a copy somewhere of that as it comes with the basic 10.10 install? | 18:01 |
| Luig1 | I can just make a diff | 18:01 |
| Polah | Luig1: If you do dpkg -l > file now and then hold onto it, boot a live session and do the same to different file and then compare them | 18:02 |

| ubottu | glebihan: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:02 |

| ubottu | Luig1: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 18:02 |

| starZ | doesn't help.. i have a laptop with a trackpad.. :)) | 18:18 |

| grillermo | hello | 18:18 |
| usr13 | Secris: ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-i386.iso ? | 18:18 |
| B0g4r7 | Hm...I've used a lot of Radeons on lucid and on natty and jockey always did it's thing... | 18:18 |
| grillermo | anybody here running 10.10? | 18:18 |
| grillermo | i need your help | 18:18 |
| jack | running natty, i wonder: what exactly does ubuntu's "unity" consist of? | 18:18 |
| rabbi11 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/680729/ This is what i get during "Check" in Update Manager... Any important files or updates are missing ? should I take any steps or just ignore it.. just worried of system files not getting updated. | 18:19 |
| Secris | usr13: the amd64 version but yes | 18:19 |
| B0g4r7 | I guess mine were all in the HD 5000 series, but I'd think the 6000 series would be pretty similar. | 18:19 |
| usr13 | Secris: And has it asked you if you want to install any additional drivers? | 18:19 |
| KPG | What is the difference between /dev/sda and /dev/hda? Can a laptop's primary hard drive be /dev/sda? | 18:19 |
| === _dlm_ is now known as dlm | ||
| johnny45t4332 | hda is the harddrive | 18:19 |
| jack | if it's mainly the dock, i love it | 18:19 |
| johnny45t4332 | sda is a partition | 18:19 |
| starZ | jack: I hate unity toooooo.. | 18:19 |
| jack | ? :P | 18:19 |
| B0g4r7 | Secris, you might try running aticonfig from the shell and see if it's installed. If it is, it may be work a try using my above command to see if it generates a usable xorg.conf for you. | 18:19 |
| jack_^ | starZ: how did you know? | 18:19 |
| Secris | usr13: yes it asked about proprietary drivers for my wireless card | 18:19 |
| usr13 | Secris: Well then you did NOT install from ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-i386.iso | 18:19 |
| oCean | johnny45t4332: no, that's not true | 18:19 |
| Pici | starZ: Take a look at some of the workarounds linked from here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/86184 | 18:20 |
| grillermo | i need a reference, could you tell me what happens when you type, nautilus 'the name of somefile' , does it open it with the correct associated program? | 18:20 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 86184 in compiz (Ubuntu) "Can't change cursor style using Compiz." [Medium,Confirmed] | 18:20 |
| B0g4r7 | There's a 10.04.3 now? Oh my... | 18:20 |
| oCean | KPG: hda is for IDE devices, sda for scsi/sata drives | 18:20 |
| Secris | usr13: it's a 64-bit machine so that is the disc I picked | 18:20 |
| jack | starZ: what exactly does it consist of? | 18:20 |
| usr13 | Secris: You used: ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso Right? | 18:20 |
| rhin0 | yep B0g4r7 as of a few days ago | 18:20 |
| B0g4r7 | sd* is for ide/ata devices too sometimes these days. | 18:20 |
| Secris | usr13: yes | 18:20 |
| starZ | Pici: thx!!!!! | 18:20 |
| rhin0 | B0g4r7: its just 10.04 with all the packages downloaded | 18:21 |
| rhin0 | just a step | 18:21 |
| grillermo | please anybody with ubuntu 10.10 i need a couple of mins in private | 18:21 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: i'm now unable to access either network | 18:21 |
| KPG | oCean: Ok. So does that mean that an ATA hard drive could be considered /dev/sda on a laptop rather than /dev/hda, or am I completely off? | 18:21 |
| starZ | jack: a design for the desktop.. | 18:21 |
| InfiniteSet | rhin0: Looking at the files that I already installed, I see that I have packages named: libgtk2-perl, libgtk2.0-0, etc. that means I have them installed right? | 18:21 |
| B0g4r7 | kpg, yes. | 18:21 |
| usr13 | Secris: Does the LiveCD load proper display settings? | 18:21 |
| jack | starZ: i love the dock | 18:21 |
| KPG | B0g4r7: Ok, thank you very much for the help. | 18:21 |
| rhin0 | if they are green ticked as installed in synaptic yes InfiniteSet | 18:21 |
| B0g4r7 | kpg, you can 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' to get some more details on the device(s). | 18:21 |
| jack | the menubar is sweet as well | 18:21 |
| grillermo | anybody with Maverick i need a little debugin help, just a couple of minutes on private | 18:21 |
| Polah | johnny45t4332 sdX and hdX both refer to drives, sdXY and hdXY refer to partitions. They're for different interfaces but you'll typically see sdX | 18:21 |
| KPG | B0g4r7: Ah, ok thank you. | 18:22 |
| oCean | KPG: that could be correct (depending on other devices) but generally: yes | 18:22 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain: Didn't work? | 18:22 |
| Secris | usr13: no so far the only distro to correctly identify the screen res is fedora 15 | 18:22 |
| KPG | oCean: Ok, thank you. | 18:22 |
| starZ | jack: I love gnome's dock :))) | 18:22 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: unfortunately no, and i'm unable to access the network that worked before now as well | 18:22 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: i had to log onto windows just to have internet again | 18:22 |
| grillermo | what happens when you run on the terminal, nautilus 'the name of somefile.txt' , does it open it with the correct associated program? | 18:22 |
| usr13 | Secris: Was that amd64 ? | 18:22 |
| Secris | usr13: yes | 18:23 |
| genii-around | KPG: Ubuntu uses libata which makes all hdX appear as sdX | 18:23 |
| Polah | johnny45t4332, beyond GPU issues perhaps, no. | 18:23 |
| KPG | genii-around: Ah, ok that is interesting. | 18:23 |
| Nox2k3 | Hi, does anyone know why rails is now suddenly not installable? | 18:23 |

| grillermo | run on the terminal, nautilus 'the name of somefile.txt' , does it open it with the correct associated program? because i get an error but i'm not sure if im the only one | 18:25 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: don't know. hmm i'll tell you what i'll do. i'll get my mobile broadband to my laptop where i can talk to you, so we can have ubuntu running at the same time | 18:25 |
| grillermo | can anybody read me? | 18:25 |
| rhin0 | InfiniteSet: you're going to have to google for read the documenation whether it has acutally run on ubuntu etc | 18:25 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain: I'm afraid you will need to go to the router's configuration menu and turn off security. Either that, or connect via wired port. (We have pretty much exausted all solutions.) | 18:26 |
| Polah | grillermo: Nope | 18:26 |
| bungholio | im trying to learn how to use linux/ubuntu, i want to spend about an hour each day increasing my overall skills - can anyone suggest me some tips or websites/ebooks etc.. so i can learn? | 18:26 |

| thecpaptain | so how do we fix so that i'm still able to connect to the other wireless that was working before ? | 18:26 |
| szal | grillermo: 1. don't be an attention whore and stop repeating yourself.. 2. define 'an error' | 18:26 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain: Refresh my memory. Is this a ubuntu 11.04 system? Is it 32bit or 64? And is it fully updated yet? | 18:26 |
| grillermo | ok | 18:26 |
| rhin0 | bungholio: try to achieve something definite every day ... setting up a web server for instance | 18:26 |

| grillermo | i get "location is not a folder" when i try to open a file on the terminal using nautilius 'the name of the file' am i the only one? | 18:27 |
| B0g4r7 | bungholio: I recommend tldp.org. In particular, I found reading the "howtos" on there to be quite useful. | 18:27 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: hm not sure which one actually. | 18:27 |
| B0g4r7 | Although that was some time ago. Hopefully it's all up to date for today's stuff. | 18:27 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: i know its later one at least | 18:27 |
| Polah | grillermo: Nautilus is not for displaying files, it shows directories. You can't open files in nautilus, you have to open them in their appropriate program. | 18:28 |

| usr13 | thecpaptain: You will need to know what it is. What ISO did you install from? | 18:28 |
| grillermo | Polah: could you run that command to see if you get the same message please, i just need to know that | 18:28 |

| [THC]AcidRain | Polah, nautilus also selects the appropriate program used to open a certain file as sudo | 18:29 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain: Was it ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso ? | 18:29 |
| meway | how do I get flash to work with lubuntu? | 18:29 |
| meway | sorry wrong channel | 18:29 |
| yeats | grillermo: I get the same message, fwiw, but I don't typically try to open particular files with nautilus - that's not the way it's used (usually) | 18:29 |
| usr13 | meway: install flashplayer-nonfree | 18:29 |
| tolmun | searching for lightweight DWG viewer? | 18:30 |
| Polah | [THC]AcidRain, which file would that be? | 18:30 |

| meta-coder | http://xkcd.com/934/ (Mac/PC) | 18:30 |
| grillermo | and gnome-open sends the same error | 18:30 |
| improveupon | every time i try to start firefox, the os crashes. in a vt every few seconds it prints like 10 lines, one of which is like "failed command: read dma (something)"... something makes me think it can no longer detect the hard drive... you have to ctrl+alt+sysrq to reboot. if you do not try to use firefox, it seems to run fine. | 18:30 |
| Polah | grillermo, I get the error too because like I said, it is for displaying directory structure, not the contents of files. | 18:30 |
| meway | usr13 nonfree ? | 18:30 |
| usr13 | meway: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound | 18:30 |

| yeats | grillermo: what behavior are you expecting? | 18:30 |
| grillermo | Polah: but if you try gnome-open "the file" it works right? for me it doesnt | 18:30 |
| improveupon | um, should i remove and reinstall firefox from the repository? | 18:30 |
| rhin0 | meway sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:31 |

| MoMo | yeats: also, are you refering to the Wicd network manager? | 18:37 |

| idumych | I had to reboot the computer during the upgrade | 18:37 |

| yeats | MoMo: nm-connection-editor | 18:38 |
| idumych | Polah: pretty much just the default ubuntu sesion and the login manager | 18:38 |
| Polah | jnsl_: Yes, or if there is a firewall running it could have been set up by default (by Amazon) to only initially allow connections on port 22 for SSH? | 18:38 |
| jack | can i define corner functions for xscreensaver? like blank now, blank never... | 18:38 |
| sharperguy | Hey. I'm trying to use pavucontrol to record sounds my system is playing with audacity. I set "ALSA capture from" on the audacity stream to "Internal analog stereo" like always and this time for some reason it's not recording anything - it's just blocking waiting for data. Anyone got any ideas? | 18:39 |
| jnsl_ | Polah yeah amazon have a firewall in place, but i have allowed connections to port 3306 in my amazon security group, so that should work. On second thought i might be running with UFW | 18:40 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: Waht? | 18:40 |
| Polah | jnsl_: ufw should allow connections if there is something listening, unless told not to do that | 18:40 |

| jnsl_ | jack im not familiar with that | 18:41 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: Yes, download network-manager manually and install it I guess. But there is no reason my wicd wouldn't establish the connection for you as well. At least one of the connections. It would be nice to know what you installed. Is it Ubuntu 11.04 ? Or What? | 18:41 |
| jnsl_ | not seeing port 3306 in the status | 18:42 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: how do i find out ? can i see it when inside ubuntu ? | 18:42 |
| Polah | jnsl: perhaps add a rule and retry: 3306 ALLOW Anywhere | 18:42 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: lsb_release -a | 18:42 |
| jnsl_ | aye cool :-))) i will try that right away | 18:42 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: Or look at the iso file. | 18:42 |
| usr13 | See what the name of the iso file is. | 18:42 |
| crash1hd | Hmm this is very odd my motherboard is fine and the video card is fine but when I test this video card in my motherboard I see the post screen and it goes to go to the next screen but all that shows up is an __ thats it and there it sits? the motherboard is older and has an agp 4x port on it | 18:42 |
| crash1hd | and I am pretty sure the video card is either 4x or 8x | 18:43 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: version 10.04 apparently | 18:44 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: do you think updating to 11.04 or similar would be preferable ? | 18:44 |
| jnsl_ | i have added the rule: "3306/tcp ALLOW Anywhere" but get the same error =/ | 18:45 |
| spreeuw | hello, anybody know how to enable gallium on r600 for 11.04 ? | 18:45 |

| usr13 | thecp4ptain: Is it fully updated? Did you do: sudo apt-get upgrade ? | 18:45 |
| johnc | New guy first time irc. Am I really visible? | 18:45 |
| kailo | Does -anyone- know how to install nvidia drivers when X is completely busted? All I can see is the background at 640x480 (or 320x240) and the mouse. | 18:45 |
| Polah | johnc: Nope, can't see you (: | 18:45 |
| spreeuw | johnc yep | 18:45 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: i updated it recently, yes. it should be fully updated | 18:46 |
| Polah | jnsl_: What command are you using to connect? | 18:46 |
| spreeuw | kailo install sshd and do it renmote | 18:46 |
| johnc | Thanks! | 18:46 |
| jnsl_ | mysql -u myuser -h my.server.com -p | 18:46 |
| kailo | spreeuw: why would I have to do it remote? I have access to a terminal | 18:46 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: What is the wireless network card? | 18:47 |
| usr13 | make and model? | 18:47 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: is there a command to find out ? | 18:47 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: lspci | 18:47 |
| banjo597 | hey guys | 18:47 |
| epzil0n | hi | 18:47 |
| bungholio | any idea how i can setup my VLC like this person? - | 18:47 |

| usr13 | thecp4ptain: Share the netwrok over the laptop's eithernet port and plug into it. (You may need a crossover cable or switch or hub, but...) | 18:48 |
| Polah | !repeat | bungholio | 18:48 |
| ubottu | bungholio: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 18:48 |
| The_Fred | hey folks - what would you expect voice command for ubuntu to do? | 18:48 |
| banjo597 | hey i'm trying to remote connect to windows 7 from ubuntu how do i do that? | 18:48 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: don't have such wires unfortunately | 18:48 |
| Polah | banjo597: Remote desktop or file sharing? | 18:48 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: Well, I've just about given you all the info I have. | 18:48 |
| banjo597 | !tell Polah Remote desktop | 18:49 |
| ubottu | banjo597: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:49 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: Where do you live. I'll just drop by and give you a hand.... | 18:49 |
| jnsl_ | banjo597 try remmina remote desktop client, or you could ssh in terminal | 18:49 |
| usr13 | (we've been talking so long, I feel like we're old pals anyway... | 18:49 |
| Polah | banjo597: Set up an RDP server on Windows 7 with NLA disabled and connect to it through Ubuntu with the rdesktop command | 18:49 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: hehe, Stockholm, Sweden, so i'm guessing it's not in your neighborhood | 18:49 |
| epzil0n | banjo597: i have a realVNC server on windows and then i use gtkvnc in ubuntu to control it ;) | 18:50 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: Not exactly. I'm in Texas | 18:50 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: hehehehe | 18:50 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: That's some distance | 18:50 |
| usr13 | It would take a while to get there and you may have it figured out by the time I get over there. | 18:50 |
| Polah | jnsl: Try this: mysql --host=host.ip.goes.here --user=username --password=password databasename | 18:50 |
| usr13 | and my horse is not a good swimmer | 18:51 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: probably, then i'll simply treat you some food or something | 18:51 |
| Polah | jnsl_: Failing that, you could always SSH in and do mysql -u <user> -p to connect locally | 18:51 |
| usr13 | he doesn't like the water at all. | 18:51 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: hehehe, yeah it wouldn't be nice to ask it to cross the atlantic ocean | 18:51 |
| usr13 | thecp4ptain: Try sharing the network from your laptop. Find a wire. | 18:52 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: i like horses, although i've only ridden one a couple of times | 18:52 |
| lo-fi_ | how can i tell if im accociated with a network? iwconfig? | 18:52 |
| usr13 | I have 2, a sorrel and a strawberry roan | 18:52 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: i'll check to see if i have one, although i'm pretty sure i don't | 18:53 |
| bluelight | is there a way to have packages installed on alternative storage devices in linux ? | 18:53 |
| Polah | lo-fi_: If you're using wireless yes, else ifconfig | 18:53 |
| thecp4ptain | the only thing that tells me is that you have two horsies hehe, the other details escape my current comprehension | 18:53 |
| bluelight | windows alows to pick a install location, does linux have this ability ? or is ther a package i can install to provide this ability ? | 18:54 |
| johnc | How do I quit? | 18:54 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: nope, none ying around | 18:54 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: *lying around | 18:54 |
| crash1hd | can anyone tell me if this motherboard will handle a 8x agp card? http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=1393&dl=1#sp | 18:54 |
| johnc | quit | 18:55 |
| Polah | bluelight: If they're installed they'd have to go into proper system folders which could be on different mounted devices, or symlinked to files on a removeable devices. If you only want to store packages (.deb)s then you can move them from /var/cache/apt/archives | 18:55 |
| usr13 | sorrel is brown, the strawberry roan is pretty much grey and splotchy in the summer. | 18:55 |
| jnsl_ | Polah I get the same error with your suggested command. The thing is i would like to connect a website on my localhost (local machine) with the database on my server | 18:55 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: i'm downloading network-manager now, i'll transfer it using a HDD | 18:56 |
| bluelight | Polah: how could i get them to install on different mounted devices? | 18:56 |
| Polah | jnsl_: I don't know if remote mysql-ing is encrypted so SSHing in and then runnign locally on the server may be more secure. Perhaps Amazon has a firewall in place to prevent use of MySQL servers on their usual servers, since they offer specialised database hosting don't they? | 18:56 |
| kailo | Is there a recommended guide for installing 5200fx nvidia drivers by terminal? | 18:56 |
| lo-fi_ | gah im missing something here for wpa_supplicant .. i cant get associated with my network, but im following 3 instructions ive found online to the T... maybe its my drivers? my card is a 802.11agb and im using the wext drivers.... | 18:56 |
| usr13 | crash1hd: AGP 4X, supports 1.5V display card only | 18:56 |
| KPG | What is the safest way to securely wipe a hard drive using a live cd? | 18:56 |
| jnsl_ | Polah thats true, they do. Hmmm, i will have to investigate that a bit | 18:57 |
| Polah | bluelight: You'd need to use mount to mount those devices at various locations, but there'd be quite a lot. Files are spread out in a lot of places, /var, /usr, /etc and suchlike | 18:57 |
| crash1hd | usr13, ok so does that mean if I put a 8x agp card into it that it will not work? cause I have 2 8x agp cards as I was saying above they both post but they cant get past the post screen | 18:57 |
| usr13 | KPG: What do you mean safest ? | 18:57 |
| bluelight | Polah: could i delete the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to gain for space without harming the system ? | 18:57 |
| Polah | jnsl_: Perhaps contact their support to see if that is the case | 18:57 |
| kailo | I've modprobe'd nvidia-173 but xorg still seems to be looking for some vmwgfx module | 18:57 |
| usr13 | KPG: Industry standard is to write zeros to it seven times or more. | 18:57 |
| KPG | usr13: Perhaps a method that is DoD compliant as opposed ti just zero filling a hard drive. | 18:57 |
| crash1hd | usr13, I had a geforce 6800 gt 512m 128bit agp ddr2 which was a 8x/4x agp card and it did work (now I am wondering if the only reason it worked is because it was a 8x/4x and not just an 8x) does that sound right? | 18:58 |
| Polah | bluelight: Yes, sudo apt-get clean would remove all stored package files. You would need to redownload those packages if you wish to reinstall one of them though | 18:58 |
| usr13 | KPG: dd will do the job | 18:58 |
| blsh0p | whats the channel for backtrack? | 18:58 |
| loculinux_ | esto no es el canal de melilla...como me meto | 18:58 |
| Polah | blsh0p: #backtrack-linux | 18:58 |
| lo-fi_ | would anyone mind helping me trouble shoot wpa_supplicant? | 18:58 |
| bluelight | Polah: thanks, that may be all i need to fix my shrinking storage problem :) | 18:58 |
| blsh0p | #backtrack-linux | 18:58 |
| blsh0p | wups | 18:58 |
| thecp4ptain | usr13: should i consider downloading ubuntu 11.04 do you think ? | 18:59 |
| Polah | bluelight: You'll probably get a few hundred MB from that | 18:59 |
| KPG | usr13: Ok, I only ran dd once however. Would you consider that a safe enough method for general purpose deletion of files? | 18:59 |
| bungholio | blsh0p: i believe backtrack's IRC is #crunchbang. | 18:59 |
| bungholio | blsh0p: actually nevermind thats openbox heh | 19:00 |
| Pici | bungholio, blsh0p: #backtrack-linux | 19:00 |
| Pici | bungholio: Please don't mislead our users. | 19:00 |
| usr13 | KPG: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd?# bs=4096 | 19:00 |
| blsh0p | i got it, thanks guys | 19:00 |
| bungholio | Pici: that's not misleading. | 19:00 |
| bluelight | Polah: the device is an asus eee pc 900 with 4gig ssd and an 8gig sd | 19:00 |
| Polah | KPG: You can use dd to write random data or zeroes over the entire disk, it works the exist same way as using DBAN or a similar program. The next best thing would be to zero it with dd and then destroy the drives by sanding the platters and breaking them | 19:00 |
| KPG | usr13: I did bs=1M is that also acceptable? | 19:00 |
| usr13 | KPG: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd?# bs=16384 | 19:00 |
| Polah | bluelight: well, a few hundred MB is quite a lot of space for you then | 19:01 |
| usr13 | KPG: Yea that's good. higher BS is faster. | 19:01 |
| Polah | usr12: 16384? | 19:01 |
| bluelight | Polah: yes :) | 19:01 |
| blsh0p | if i download an OS on a flashdrive, as a live cd, i wont be able to save files, correct? | 19:01 |
| KPG | usr13: Ok, thank you for the help. | 19:01 |
| Polah | bluelight: You can always uninstall unused programs as well, compress long-standing files that aren't accessed often and suchlike to save space | 19:02 |
| Polah | blsh0p: You can set up persistence with a live session, or do a proper installation on a flash drive. | 19:02 |
| blsh0p | if i run an OS as a live cd, can i save files? even if its on a 55gig flashdrive? | 19:02 |
| KPG | Polah: Would dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda bs=1M achieve the randomness that you mentioned rather than using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M and simply zero filling the hard drive? | 19:02 |
| blsh0p | will i be able to save? | 19:02 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: should i consider downloading ubuntu 11.04 do you think ? | 19:02 |
| Polah | blsh0p: As a LiveCD, no. LiveUSB, yes | 19:02 |
| urlin2u | bish0p, there are thumb loaders that have persistance | 19:02 |
| blsh0p | oh ok | 19:02 |
| Polah | KPG: if=/dev/zero would write zeroes, /dev/random would write random data to the drive, they'd have the same outcome of data destruction it's just that the written data may be different. /dev/zero may be quicker I believe | 19:03 |
| urlin2u | bish0p, check out the mutisystem multi loader | 19:03 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain: I don't know really. Wouldn't hurt tho. See what the LiveCD will do. | 19:03 |
| KPG | Polah: Ok, that is helpful to know. Thank you very much for the assistance. | 19:04 |
| blsh0p | whats that do, urlin2u? | 19:04 |
| thecpaptain | is it possible to launch LiveCD if i put the file on an external HD ? | 19:04 |
| lo-fi_ | does wpa_supplicant support 802.11agb? | 19:04 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: is it possible to launch LiveCD if i put the file on an external HD ? | 19:05 |
| urlin2u | bisg0p, it is a app that loads ISO's to a thumb for booting and has a persistence option. | 19:05 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain: Use a CD or Flash Drive | 19:05 |
| blsh0p | ok and one last question. Is it better to do direct downloads or to download torrents? | 19:05 |
| urlin2u | thecpaptain, you need a boot setup. | 19:05 |
| usr13 | thecpaptain: See instructions at: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 19:06 |
| urlin2u | blish0p, depends a p2p that is legit is usually just as fast. | 19:06 |
| kailo | does anyone know why xorg is being forced into 640x480 with my 5200fx pci? It wasn't like this with the livecd | 19:06 |
| thecpaptain | hm aight | 19:06 |
| Polah | blsh0p: Torrents may be a bit more reliable due to checking of each piece, just make sure it's a reliable safe torrent from an official website. | 19:06 |
| blsh0p | im download backtrack from the website, that should be a safe torrent right? | 19:07 |
| escott | kailo, install the proprietary drivers with jockey-gtk | 19:07 |
| moon8945 | @search john barnes | 19:07 |
| kailo | escott: can I even do that from a terminal? | 19:07 |
| Polah | blsh0p: Perhaps, ask in #backtrack-linux. | 19:07 |
| urlin2u | blish0p;yes | 19:07 |
| Hasham | hi...does office 2003 works under wine...? | 19:07 |
| kailo | escott: It actually looks like 320x240 and nothing within x is useable | 19:08 |
| Polah | Hasham: Look it up in WineHQ's appdb. | 19:08 |
| Polah | !appdb | Hasham | 19:08 |
| ubottu | Hasham: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 19:08 |
| blsh0p | no one is available in backtracklinux | 19:08 |
| blsh0p | how do i download an os as a livecd | 19:08 |
| blsh0p | liveusb* | 19:08 |
| Polah | blsh0p: You just download the image and then make a LiveUSB as told here: !liveusb | blsh0p | 19:09 |
| Polah | !liveusb | blsh0p | 19:09 |
| ubottu | blsh0p: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 19:09 |
| kailo | does anyone know why xorg is being forced into 320x240** with my 5200fx pci? It wasn't like this with the livecd | 19:09 |
| urlin2u | blsh0p, to be honest if you don't know this basic stuff backtrack is a waste of your time. | 19:09 |
| SlindoBist | hey guys, i just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my macbook, i was wondering if there were some way to map a key on the keyboard to mimic a right click from the mouse? can anyone give me a hand or direct me to a howto that might help? | 19:09 |
| Polah | kailo: Please stop repeating your question so quickly. If someone has an answer they'll help you. | 19:10 |
| blsh0p | ur prabably right irlin | 19:10 |
| thecpaptain | urlin2u: if i create a boot setup on the flash, i don't need to remove other content and such right ? | 19:10 |
| kailo | Polah: It was a fix to my previous comment; 320x240 vs 640x480 | 19:10 |
| urlin2u | thecpaptain, depends on the loader most wipe the thumb. | 19:10 |
| camden | \q | 19:11 |
| escott | kailo, there is a jockey command line client, but it sounds like X is failing to start if all you have is a console | 19:11 |
| lo-fi_ | ok so im using wpa_supplicant to connect to my router. I've made the config file, and then run the command "sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/root/wpa.conf" but im still not associated with the network. Any ideas? | 19:11 |
| thecpaptain | urlin2u: wipe the thumb ? | 19:11 |
| urlin2u | thecpaptain, unetbootin can install to a partion and if ubuntu be persistent. | 19:11 |
| Hasham | ubottu, it has database for games only . i am looking for ms office 2003 | 19:11 |
| ubottu | Hasham: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:11 |
| kailo | escott: no, x starts just fine. I'm USING a console because x is unusable. All I get is the background, mouse, and sometimes a flicker of a menu when I right click on the background. | 19:12 |
| tommyvyo | any recommendations on which version of ubuntu is best to use for a server? | 19:12 |
| urlin2u | thecpaptain, wipe-remove thumb=usb drive | 19:12 |
| urlin2u | tommyvyo, probably a lts | 19:13 |
| thecpaptain | urlin2u: so i need to cleanse the HD then ? | 19:13 |
| fishscene | ubottu is back! | 19:13 |
| kailo | escott: kind of hard to run nvidia-settings etc if X is locked into 320x240 with just a background | 19:13 |
| urlin2u | thecpaptain, your question was will anything be removed, now use your brain here. :D | 19:13 |
| thecpaptain | urlin2u: i'm trying xD i'm trying to figure if it is necessary for it to be partitioned, or if it can simply boot from an individual file on the HD | 19:14 |
| SlindoBist | anyone? | 19:14 |
| thecpaptain | urlin2u: i'm guessing it needs partitioning to boot | 19:15 |
| tetsuo55 | is it possible to use a custom dns for only certain users? | 19:15 |
| urlin2u | thecpaptain, it needs a partition for a file to start with and needs a bootloader to boot | 19:15 |
| se | selam | 19:16 |
| urlin2u | thecpaptain, a bootloader needs files in a OS and the mbr generally. | 19:16 |
| Polah | thecpaptain: If you get multibootusb you can just set it up and it'll install GRUB and just require the .iso to be present without need to unpack it and such | 19:16 |
| se | hello | 19:17 |
| thecpaptain | hmmm | 19:17 |

| urlin2u | CharlieSu, if you kill it you will have a blank screen probably, try the classic desktop | 19:19 |
| urlin2u | CharlieSu, do you mean a logout or reboot? | 19:20 |

| mrintegrity | mongy: outlook doesn't work with wine | 19:32 |
| mongy | mrintegrity, thats what I meant by issues | 19:32 |
| TEJAS123 | cheako : when computer boots..... I guess it is unable to find grub | 19:32 |
| atyoung | mrintegrity, good :P | 19:32 |
| mrintegrity | mongy: works great in crossover though | 19:32 |
| atyoung | I'm kidding | 19:33 |
| neandr | mrintegrity: which pc/laptop? | 19:33 |
| mrintegrity | atyoung: hehe yeah | 19:33 |
| Hasham | ActionParsnip, i use libre office at home but i can only install ubuntu on my office machine if it runs office 2003 | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Hasham: why so? | 19:33 |
| mrintegrity | neandr: what do you mean? | 19:33 |
| wildc4rd | evenin all! | 19:33 |
| neandr | mrintegrity: used standard ISO downloaded from Ubuntu pages | 19:34 |
| mrintegrity | Hasham: pay for crossover office, it works very well and is not so expensive | 19:34 |
| Hasham | ActionParsnip, for compatibility issues | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | neandr: does it MD5 testok? | 19:34 |
| cheako | TEJAS123: Ahh, rescue is one of the boot options on a cd. Could be booting a cd instead of the disk?? Perhaps you just need to interrupt grub and get to the menu, hold "ctr" key... IIRC. | 19:34 |
| mrintegrity | neandr: i see. and you burned it to cd with what program? | 19:34 |
| ubun | Has anyone installed HPLIP? its in the synaptic but it has a warning about people taking control of my pc. any help??? | 19:34 |
| mrintegrity | ubun: what error? | 19:34 |
| neandr | mrintegrity: I was asking which machine did you used | 19:34 |
| mrintegrity | ubun: sorry, what warning | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Hasham: never had an issue personally | 19:34 |
| mrintegrity | neandr: servers, desktops, laptops, virtual machines.. you name it (didn't use a usb stick for the virtual machines of course) | 19:35 |
| ubun | mrintegrity: it says it is not authenticated and could contain something malicious that could allow someone to control my computer | 19:35 |
| neandr | mrintegrity: no error, no warning, just blank screen, all boot options (nomodeset, xforce.. ) worked | 19:35 |
| TEJAS123 | cheako : No i m booting from hard drive | 19:35 |
| mrintegrity | ubun: can you show me teh exact error ? you can msg me directly | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | neandr: does the ISO pass MD5 test? | 19:36 |
| Hasham | ActionParsnip, if LO writer and spreadsheed and compatibale with ms office 2003 i will replace my xp to ubuntu at office :) | 19:36 |
| mrintegrity | neandr: what kind of computer is it? | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Hasham: try it | 19:36 |
| mrintegrity | Hasham: they are mostly compatible but there are almnost always formatting / font errors | 19:37 |
| thecpaptain | usr13: it seems that i'm able to connect to the network using ubuntu 11.04 | 19:37 |

| cheako | TEJAS123: I suspect this error is from grub when it's trying to boot. Getting gurb's attention should help. | 19:38 |

| Gentoo64 | ? | 19:49 |
| mrintegrity | neandr: which vostro model is it? | 19:49 |
| kailo | By installing xubuntu-desktop I've managed to get nvidia-settings to run in X, however I'm still locked in to 640x480 and 320x240 as my display options. 'additional drivers' still shows that nvidia drivers 173 are activated, but 'not currently in use' | 19:49 |
| prakas | lol | 19:49 |
| jimrew | where's the source code to gconf editor? | 19:50 |
| ActionParsnip | neandr: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 be sure you MD5 test the ISO | 19:50 |
| mrintegrity | jimrew: try ubuntu package archives | 19:50 |
| mrintegrity | jimrew: or upstream at gnome.org somewhere | 19:50 |
| jimrew | ok thx | 19:50 |

| prakas | and sometimes it works as expected | 19:52 |
| Gentoo64 | prakas, i hear a lot of people have that | 19:52 |
| prakas | is it a bug? | 19:52 |
| Gentoo64 | idk sounds like it | 19:52 |
| neandr | ActionParsnip: OK will try and report back .. .. before returning the laptop | 19:52 |

| prakas | the black screen shows like 20 percent of the times | 19:53 |
| rabbi11 | how to restart rhythmbox? its' not responding | 19:53 |
| prakas | and ctrl alt del brings the ubuntu logo followed by a restart | 19:53 |
| Gentoo64 | rabbi11, killall rhythmbox | 19:53 |
| prakas | not a hardware hang | 19:53 |
| Gentoo64 | then restart it | 19:53 |
| Gentoo64 | prakas, i have no idea what it is | 19:53 |
| prakas | you never had this issue? | 19:54 |
| rabbi11 | Gentoo64: thank you | 19:54 |
| Gentoo64 | nope | 19:54 |
| prakas | i reinstalled ubuntu 10.10 again | 19:54 |
| xangua | kaolc2: compile | 19:54 |
| prakas | but problem persists | 19:54 |
| Gentoo64 | prakas, its obviously some bug with hardware | 19:54 |
| prakas | same problem with another netbook that my father uses | 19:54 |
| Gentoo64 | maybe kernel idk | 19:54 |
| prakas | the problem did not occur in 7.04 version :P | 19:55 |
| Gentoo64 | things change | 19:55 |
| rabbi11 | it happens to me as well, just blank screen with a cursor on top left flickering for 5-10 mins | 19:55 |
| prakas | yes bugs get added ;p | 19:55 |
| Gentoo64 | all i hear on here is blank screen | 19:55 |
| Gentoo64 | lol | 19:55 |
| prakas | it doesnt show anything but ctrl alt del brings the ubuntu logo immediately lol | 19:55 |
| gnewb | How do I disable/stop/kill the Battery Sate script?Currently running Ubuntu 10.04.3 on Desktop. | 19:56 |
| Gentoo64 | thats reboot command | 19:56 |
| prakas | and then a reboot | 19:56 |
| prakas | and then the os starts without the black screen :P | 19:56 |
| prakas | i am unable to even see what went wrong | 19:56 |
| Gentoo64 | brb making coffee | 19:56 |
| prakas | it should instead show some message that something failed so the black screen ;) | 19:57 |
| Gentoo64 | prakas, when you do boot, try dmesg and scroll up for any errors | 19:57 |
| Gentoo64 | like maybe gpu related | 19:57 |
| prakas | will dmesg still keep the logs when rebooted? | 19:58 |
| prakas | a fresh reboot will perhaps not keep logs of a previous session but dont know | 19:58 |
| kaolc2 | xangua: One word does unfortunately not help me much, thanks though | 19:59 |
| th0r | kaolc2: that version is not available, your only option is to compile it from scratch | 20:00 |

| Gentoo64 | dude, use ext4 | 20:05 |
| Gentoo64 | its faster | 20:05 |
| rbookhouse | ActionParsnip, if you had them you'd know :P but they're games. | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | neandr: does the ISO pass MD5 test? | 20:05 |
| SIFTU | prakas: is it a new laptop? | 20:05 |
| prakas | yes a new netbook | 20:05 |
| prakas | purchased 6 months ago | 20:06 |
| SIFTU | dude: yeah dont use btrfs | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rbookhouse: please don't initialise non-standard things, it makes support near impossible | 20:06 |
| prakas | intel atom | 20:06 |
| neandr | to be honest .. can you tell how to check? sorry | 20:06 |
| rbookhouse | ActionParsnip, I'll initialise what I like | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rbookhouse: if they are windows games, did you check the appdb? | 20:06 |
| SIFTU | prakas: ah netbook, I though it was a vostro 3750 | 20:06 |
| BloodSkin | is there anywhere better than newegg to (window) shop? | 20:06 |
| rbookhouse | ActionParsnip, please stop trying to help now and give someone else a chance | 20:06 |
| Gentoo64 | BloodSkin, not outsude us i dont think. amazon and ebay | 20:07 |
| prakas | no it is not a vostro. i use it on an acer aspire core 2 duo laptop with 965gm graphics and another netbook with atom | 20:07 |
| kaolc2 | th0r: Where would I obtain it? | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rbookhouse: fine, but nobody will have any idea what you are talking about, needing then for further clarification. You choice. You can give full details and GET support, or initialize "what you like" and get nowhere. Your choice | 20:07 |
| SIFTU | prakas: ah ok | 20:07 |
| th0r | kaolc2: not in the repos | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rbookhouse: essentially, check the appdb for wine | 20:07 |
| rbookhouse | ActionParsnip, it is, well done, good bye | 20:07 |
| prakas | in both the same issue persists so both of them are not having any hardware problem. something is buggy but what idk | 20:07 |
| neandr | ActionParsnip: to be honest .. can you tell how to check for MD5? sorry | 20:07 |
| rbookhouse | ActionParsnip, and that just proves you have no idea, these are not windows games | 20:08 |
| rbookhouse | ActionParsnip, done yet? | 20:08 |

| ActionParsnip | rbookhouse: if you give what they ACTUALLY are, we can help | 20:08 |
| rbookhouse | ActionParsnip, if you had either game you'd be able to help - otherwise you can not... It is just that simple. And if you had those games you'd know what RTCW and ET is. | 20:09 |

| ActionParsnip | rbookhouse: fine, struggle away. If you want help then please give details. I doubt anyone will give any help as you aren't being co-operative. I have asked nicely. | 20:10 |
| Gentoo64 | rbookhouse, whats wrong with the sound? have none of them games got configs for sound | 20:10 |
| rbookhouse | ActionParsnip, And I have asked equally as nicely for you to simply dtop it | 20:10 |
| Gentoo64 | idk what them games are either | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rbookhouse: you got it | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rbookhouse: if you get no answer and want to enlighten me, I'm ready to help | 20:11 |
| MHD | Hey, I need to boot into single user mode on an older box with a forgotten password... | 20:11 |
| Gentoo64 | MHD, and do what? | 20:11 |
| rbookhouse | Gentoo64, they use OSS now removed from 11.04. work arounds I'm finding to get them to use ALSA/PA are not working and the OSS Proxy doesn't work as I think they need direct mmap support - any of this on your wavelength? | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | MHD: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root. You can reset your password there | 20:12 |
| MHD | Gentoo64: reset the password. | 20:12 |
| Gentoo64 | rbookhouse, nope. lol. isnt there some alsa-oss thing | 20:12 |
| neandr | ubottu: puh .. i don't have the iso download file anymore .. only the cd with the image. that page tells me I have to store both into one dir | 20:12 |
| ubottu | neandr: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:12 |
| rbookhouse | Gentoo64, yeah "OSS Proxy" is one, OSS API emulation to ALSA or PA. Which has worked for other OSS games but not these | 20:13 |
| Gentoo64 | rbookhouse, i only know alsa. im not sure whats in the current ubuntu kernel | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | neandr: you can make the CD test itself once the boot starts | 20:13 |
| Gentoo64 | dno if they disabled stuff or not | 20:13 |
| yitz_ | I'm having issues with java running out of heap space. So I'm trying to use -Xmx to make a jvm with a bit more. Should I be able to go above the amount of physical RAM I got? If I go to high, it failed to "reserve enough space for object heap" | 20:13 |
| prakas | rbookhouse: is that alsa-oss available by default in ubuntu 11.04? | 20:13 |
| rbookhouse | prakas, no you need to compile it yourself | 20:13 |
| yeats | neandr: you should be able to "Verify Disk Integrity" from the Live CD menu (hit any key when first booting to get to the menu) | 20:13 |
| prakas | bad | 20:13 |
| prakas | without that alsa-oss many midi players dont function | 20:14 |
| rbookhouse | I'm thinking just put OSS 3 back in the kernel and be done with it | 20:14 |
| Gentoo64 | rbookhouse, thats prob bad as it deprecated | 20:14 |
| rbookhouse | Gentoo64, no other way | 20:14 |
| Gentoo64 | dont soudn work at all? | 20:14 |
| prakas | oss was great | 20:14 |
| Gentoo64 | or is it just dodgy | 20:14 |
| prakas | the new versions have many sound problem issues | 20:15 |
| rbookhouse | Gentoo64, the games are proprietary so they *only* use OSS | 20:15 |
| prakas | oss is good i think ;) | 20:15 |
| rbookhouse | so it's either fool them with library pre-loads to use some other sound system which is flakey at best and isn't working... or translate OSS to ALSA or PA | 20:15 |
| prakas | when i load them with ./aoss program they work lol | 20:15 |
| rbookhouse | but the OSS translation isn't perfect and isn't working for these | 20:15 |
| andrea__ | sera | 20:16 |
| prakas | i dont know why ubuntu by default does not use oss | 20:16 |
| Gentoo64 | rbookhouse, i dont have enough knowledge about oss to help much! | 20:16 |
| rbookhouse | prakas, yeah that is a preload trick - which games do you use that on? | 20:16 |
| prakas | i use a program called tuxguitar | 20:16 |
| kaolc2 | th0r: Please tell me more places where I won't find what I am looking for. Perhaps if you tell me enough I can eliminate all possibilities but one | 20:16 |
| prakas | needs to be loaded with ./aoss | 20:16 |
| rbookhouse | prakas, are you on 11.04 too? | 20:16 |
| improveupon | firefox keeps crashing my os. you have to use magic sysrq to reboot. i have already tried removing and re-installing the package + dependencies. | 20:16 |
| prakas | i am on 10.10 | 20:16 |
| prakas | midi breaks and does not work | 20:17 |
| prakas | in old version it worked without issues | 20:17 |
| Haematoma | Can I route ALL outgoing internet traffic through aSSH tunnel? | 20:17 |
| improveupon | (almost any suggestions will be appreciated) | 20:17 |
| Gentoo64 | improveupon, how much ram have you got? | 20:17 |
| Haematoma | or would I need to use VPN for that? | 20:17 |
| rbookhouse | i give up for now, bbl | 20:17 |
| prakas | in 7.10 and 7.04 it worked well. lol in new versions we have to use an aoss ;) annoying | 20:17 |
| improveupon | like 2 gigs | 20:17 |
| yeats | improveupon: I've seen the same behavior - top shows that plugin-container is the culprit | 20:18 |
| prakas | and why dont they preinstall this aoss xD | 20:18 |
| Gentoo64 | improveupon, ah idk. i know maxing your ram will crash entire os | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | improveupon: is it ok as a different user? | 20:18 |
| sunil | hi, can anyone tell how to set classpath ? | 20:18 |
| yeats | improveupon: my life got better after installing flashblock (FF addon) | 20:18 |
| surfdue | i installed a package that installed lots of dependencies, i removed the pacakge now i have dependencies just in idle how to remove all unused dependecies | 20:18 |
| surfdue | AND purge them | 20:18 |
| Gentoo64 | surfdue, theres a prog called gtk orphan | 20:18 |
| Gentoo64 | dno if its still used or not | 20:19 |
| improveupon | thank you both... yeats your suggestion sounds like the culprit | 20:19 |
| surfdue | Gentoo64: im on command | 20:19 |
| Gentoo64 | surfdue, that cleans deps | 20:19 |
| yeats | surfdue: deborphan is the command line version | 20:19 |
| prakas | suppose i use javax.sound.midi and play a note it doesnt work :D i need to pass it as a param in aoss | 20:19 |
| prakas | annoying | 20:19 |
| sunil | how set classpath ? | 20:20 |
| improveupon | but wait... i just uninstalled and re-installed firefox using aptitude. it's still crashing the os. wouldn't that get rid of all the add-on's too? and how can i install ff-block if i cannot start firefox? | 20:20 |
| adante | when i run metacity --replace, am i supposed to get a window manager? | 20:20 |
| yeats | improveupon: yeah - it's a pretty serious problem - full memory, high swapping, *very* high load | 20:20 |
| grillost | hello everybody | 20:20 |
| adante | my... it seems to kill the existing one, but does not replace it with anything | 20:21 |
| Gentoo64 | sunil, http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/classpath.shtml | 20:21 |
| adante | this is not a good desktop experience | 20:21 |
| Polah | improveupon: sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo rm -r ~/.mozilla && sudo apt-get install firefox | 20:21 |
| MustardCU | adante, you are suppose to get a windows manager if you use metacity --replace | 20:21 |
| surfdue | Error connecting to authd socket | 20:21 |
| yeats | improveupon: your settings/addons/etc. aren't touched when you add/remove Firefox | 20:21 |
| improveupon | Polah: thank you | 20:21 |
| surfdue | wtf? | 20:21 |
| Polah | improveupon: Copy .mozilla away before deleting it if you want to keep bookmarks and stuff | 20:21 |
| MustardCU | adante, are you sure you have metacity installed? | 20:21 |
| improveupon | great | 20:21 |
| Haematoma | Can I route all outbound internet traffic through SSH? | 20:21 |
| Haematoma | route through an SSH tunnel* | 20:21 |
| adante | MustardCU: pretty sure, because metacity is a command? | 20:22 |
| yeats | improveupon: you can 'mv .mozilla .mozilla-old' if you'd rather not lose everything | 20:22 |
| adante | MustardCU: unless this is a dummy command provided by another package? | 20:22 |
| grillost | when i try to start ubuntu 11.04 after a new installation, the pc can't start the x, pc shows a message that say the monitor is out of range, anyone could help me please? | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | grillost: what GPU do you use? | 20:22 |
| MustardCU | adante, metacity is a program that can run just as you posted it as long as yo have metacity installed | 20:22 |
| grillost | @ActionPasnip wait please... | 20:23 |
| improveupon | yeats: thank you | 20:23 |
| yeats | improveupon: sure ;-) good luck | 20:23 |
| bungholio | is there some type of third party software channel? to talk about (well everything) i suppose? | 20:23 |
| Gentoo64 | grillost, have you tried turning the monitor off then on while it says that? | 20:24 |
| yeats | bungholio: ubuntu-wise, there's #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:25 |
| Gentoo64 | #defocus | 20:25 |
| grillost | @Gentoo64, yeah but appears the same message | 20:25 |
| bungholio | yeats: okay, thanks alot! | 20:26 |
| grillost | @ActionPasnip is a video integrated of a Asrock M266A | 20:26 |
| grillost | this is the link http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=M266A | 20:26 |
| Gentoo64 | grillost, ah ok. sometimes it works. sounds like the refresh rate / res is trying to go too high | 20:26 |
| CluelessPerson | Can anyone tell me why I can connect to my samba local server share on my android phone, but not from my netbook? | 20:26 |
| Gentoo64 | grillost, maybe its the gpu? | 20:26 |
| Gentoo64 | its old | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: can the netbook ping the server? | 20:26 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, Yes, I think, depends on what you mean by that | 20:27 |
| improveupon | would anyone like to suggest a favorite browser other than firefox? | 20:27 |
| Gentoo64 | improveupon, chromium | 20:27 |
| grillost | yeah, it's old, and i think that its the gpu, cause when i try with another monitor, the mistake is the same | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | grillost: try adding the boot option: nomodeset | 20:27 |
| improveupon | that was fast | 20:27 |
| Gentoo64 | it is fast | 20:27 |
| robin0800 | grillost, if it finally boots and you can see it then install startupmanager and use it to srt sane values | 20:27 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, the server shows up on the local network in the workgroup on my netbook | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: its a connectivity tester, makes sure you have a logical path to the server | 20:27 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, you want me to literally ping the server? | 20:28 |
| CluelessPerson | cluelessperson.com try pinging it. :p | 20:28 |
| Konata | Ok guys, "You Must Choose" moment. | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: if you can see it local network, it should be ok | 20:28 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, I get an error | 20:29 |
| Konata | I know this is #ubuntu, though, choose: Ubuntu or Debian, and be honest. | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: if you run: smbtree do you see the share? | 20:29 |
| genii-around | !polls | Konata | 20:29 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:29 |
| CluelessPerson | run that from where? | 20:29 |
| echecatl | hi, anyone driving ubuntu with ipv6 (i mean in a lan on ipv6)? | 20:29 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, I get the error, "Cannot access //CLUELESSSERVER" | 20:29 |
| Gentoo64 | Konata, what do you want? a normal desktop? | 20:30 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, my netbook is running windows | 20:30 |
| CluelessPerson | smbtree from where? | 20:30 |
| Konata | Either is fine for me. | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: the command is: ping cluelessserver | 20:30 |
| th0r | Gentoo64: please don't feed the troll | 20:30 |
| CluelessPerson | yes, it's pinging | 20:30 |
| Konata | th0r: I'm not trying to be a troll lol | 20:31 |
| CluelessPerson | 1ms | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: wait, so the syem which cannot access the share is windows based? | 20:31 |
| Gentoo64 | th0r, he might just be asking | 20:31 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, yes | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: then how is this related to Ubuntu? | 20:31 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, It was working fine for awhile, and then it just stopped. | 20:31 |
| Konata | No wait, isn't there a release of Ubuntu based off Debian? | 20:31 |
| th0r | Konata: consider...ask here and they will say ubuntu; ask in debian and they will say debian. Try apt-get install common-sense | 20:31 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, The server is running Ubuntu 11.04 | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: but android can access it ok? | 20:32 |
| Gentoo64 | Konata, what about windows? | 20:32 |
| genii-around | Konata: If you go ask in ##linux they will have likely entirely different answers. | 20:32 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, Yes, it can | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: then the settings are ok, the issue is with the windows client. | 20:32 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, I can agree with that, how do I reset it? | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Konata: all ubuntus are based on debian... | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: reset what? | 20:33 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, the smb client? it worked originally, then suddenly stopped. | 20:33 |
| bungholio | how do i change my hostname for when i connect to IRC? | 20:33 |
| skassy | this is probably more related to bash than ubuntu specifically, but i removed firefox from apt, and i installed it from source to /usr/lib, but when i type 'firefox' in bash it looks for the file in the old location. any idea how to change this? echo $PATH includes /usr/lib | 20:33 |
| Gentoo64 | bungholio, #freenode can give you stuff | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: not sure, its in windows so I'd ask in ##windows You can restart the samba server with: sudo service smbd stop; sudo service smbd start | 20:34 |
| genii-around | !cloak > bungholio | 20:34 |
| ubottu | bungholio, please see my private message | 20:34 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, I'll try, and I did try. | 20:34 |

| neandr | But before I posted the Firmware error .. to which system does it belong .. the laptop or Ubuntu CD?? | 20:36 |
| yeats | neandr: same thing - since you didn't md5sum, that's the best you've got unless you want to re-download | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: you may need to add the username and password when you connect to the share, there should be an option in windows for that | 20:37 |

| abountu | how can I get ubuntu to accept Tor updates? | 20:38 |
| Gentoo64 | add tor ppa | 20:38 |
| yeats | !tor | 20:39 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 20:39 |
| neandr | Gentoo64: can't install from CD/DVD .. had posted a forum link about it | 20:39 |
| urlin2u | neandr, post that forum link | 20:39 |
| Gentoo64 | neandr, do other cds work? what happens? | 20:40 |
| abountu | yeats, I know what is Tor, to explain my question, I installed Tor and it's working perfectly since a while, today, I got an Update through Update Manager, I'm trying to install it, but it's saying: "Requires installation of untrusted packages" how can I get around this? | 20:40 |
| grillost | @ActionParsnip how can i add the boot option? i try to push down shift while the system boot, but GRUB doesn't appears | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | 20:41 |
| ubottu | 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 | 20:41 |
| bdiu | i tried to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 but I'm having issues with initramfs.. any suggestions on how I can try to reinstall this? | 20:41 |
| yeats | abountu: you need a GPG key for the repo you're using | 20:41 |
| neandr | Genntoo64: yes they work | 20:41 |
| neandr | you may read the last psoting at : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1732030&page=5 for details | 20:41 |
| neandr | the very last posting, please | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bdiu: did the upgrade complete? | 20:41 |
| jimmy_birer | yeah | 20:41 |
| jimmy_birer | very last posting | 20:42 |
| jimmy_birer | or you`ll die | 20:42 |
| jimmy_birer | in your sleep | 20:42 |
| bdiu | not correctly... it died due to the initramfs issues | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bdiu: i see | 20:42 |
| bdiu | i rebooted and had to use an old kernel | 20:42 |
| bdiu | now I'm trying to repair, but not having any luck | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bdiu: ok then i'd retry the upgrade. How did you kick off the upgrade? | 20:42 |
| ArW | hello eveyone | 20:43 |
| urlin2u | neandr, do you know the graphics card? | 20:43 |
| bdiu | sudo update-manager -c -d | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bdiu: should use: sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | bdiu: does it work ok? | 20:46 |
| bdiu | well it says no new release found if I try to run that now | 20:46 |

| surfdue | how do i reset ubuntu to its default pacakges | 20:48 |
| Pricey | surfdue: I'm afraid as far as I know, there's no easy way to do that. | 20:48 |
| Pricey | surfdue: What is your 'real' problem? | 20:49 |
| grillost | @ActionParsnip nomodeset didn't works | 20:49 |
| surfdue | Pricey: i cant get openpanel installed and aptitude wont give me a real error | 20:49 |
| ActionParsnip | surfdue: you could boot live cd and get the list of installed packages, then compare to what you have installed and remove the extras | 20:49 |
| Pricey | surfdue: Please could you post a log of what happens when you try? | 20:49 |

| surfdue | i cant seem to clear this out | 20:50 |
| ActionParsnip | bdiu: not sure dude, I always clean install. You could boot to root recovery mode and you may be able to fix from there with: sudo apt-get -f install | 20:51 |
| Pricey | surfdue: sudo apt-get remove openpanel-mod-apache2 openpanel-mod-mysql openpanel-mod-spamassassin | 20:51 |
| Pricey | surfdue: Then try again. | 20:51 |
| surfdue | Pricey: that said 0 to all notihng upgraded, intalled or removed | 20:52 |

| surfdue | Pricey: yes | 20:53 |
| Pricey | bdiu: Beware, not all options match. | 20:53 |
| bdiu | okay the error i see is 'not writing through dangling symlink /etc/initramfs-tools/modules' | 20:54 |
| Pricey | surfdue: Aha... at a guess they're not maintaining their repository properly. What exactly did you add? | 20:54 |

| grillost | @ActionParsnip more suggestions? | 20:57 |
| cortexman | How can I find out if there is support for this hardware in Ubuntu? Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03) | 20:57 |
| surfdue | Pricey: np.. ubuntu == debian. | 20:57 |
| Pricey | surfdue: I'm afraid not. | 20:57 |
| cortexman | LSI used to be supported via package mpt but it no longer exists | 20:57 |
| surfdue | Pricey: pretty much | 20:57 |
| Pricey | surfdue: And I wouldn't normally use debian packages on an Ubuntu system. | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | grillost: if you are only installing ubuntu, you could use the alternate installer and install in text mode | 20:57 |

| surfdue | i cant remove them | 20:58 |
| Pricey | surfdue: I see reports that that one installs fine, which'll get you the bare bones at hte very least. | 20:58 |
| surfdue | how do i force them? | 20:58 |
| grillost | @ActionParsnip i do it, but the problem is when i start the x | 20:58 |

| jrmcm | Is it possible to change the titles of the OS's in the grub2 boot menu? | 21:26 |
| jimmy_birer | jrmcm:see /etc/grub.conf | 21:27 |

| minashokry | hello, I was using Unity without problems bu today, suddenly, unity doesn't open anymore, it starts in classic gnome. where can I find the problem? | 21:27 |
| jimmy_birer | minashokry:select from the login menu | 21:27 |
| jimmy_birer | at the bottom | 21:27 |
| jimmy_birer | there is an icon | 21:28 |
| jimmy_birer | click on it and select Ubuntu Desktop | 21:28 |
| minashokry | jimmy_birer: I already select it but it still opens in classic gnome | 21:28 |
| jimmy_birer | what video card you got? | 21:28 |
| minashokry | jimmy_brier: Intel & nVidia with optimus technology. unity was working before on this configuration | 21:29 |
| jimmy_birer | minashokry:what video card you got... | 21:30 |
| jrmcm | jimmy_birer, all i have is grub.d | 21:30 |
| jimmy_birer | wait | 21:30 |
| jimmy_birer | go to command prompt | 21:30 |
| minashokry | jimmy_brier: I think it should be working on the intel as I have to use a special command to run something on the nVidia card | 21:30 |
| jimmy_birer | at applciations>accesories>terminal | 21:30 |
| jimmy_birer | and type "sudo nano /etc/grub.conf" | 21:31 |
| jimmy_birer | enter the password then (the password will not show but you its entered anyway) | 21:31 |
| jimmy_birer | then look for title | 21:31 |
| jimmy_birer | "title" | 21:31 |

| minashokry | jimmy_brier: I guess I have this problem because I installed "fglrx" package. but I uninstalled it and still can't restore unity | 21:35 |
| usr13 | jimmy_birer: I think the file your looking for is /boot/grub/grub.cfg and it's the text in quotes after menuentry | 21:35 |
| jimmy_birer | yeah | 21:35 |

| jimmy_birer | do it anyway | 21:37 |
| jimmy_birer | i did it | 21:37 |

| beruga | Hey, guys, something that's puzzling me right now: I always thought, if there is a .desktop file in your ~/.config/autostart it means it will start up once you log in, | 21:38 |
| jimmy_birer | devish,youtube-dl is outdated | 21:38 |
| jimmy_birer | because youtube changed its layout | 21:38 |
| jimmy_birer | for videos | 21:38 |
| beruga | now, I disabled the bluetooth manager via unchecking the box in the "Startup Applications Preferences" dialog and found out it actually created that very bluetooth-applet.desktop in the autostart folder | 21:38 |
| beruga | and if I try deleting it myself in this folder, it will recheck the box next to the application entry. Why is that? Shouldn't it be the other way around? | 21:38 |
| devish | jimmy_birer: so what now | 21:38 |
| mongy | jimmy_birer, youtube-dl works fine | 21:38 |
| jimmy_birer | devish:use another downloader | 21:38 |
| jimmy_birer | for youtube | 21:38 |
| devish | like | 21:38 |
| rickh | klj613: The permission for webcontent ought to be 0644, in short read-write for the owner, read for the group and everyone else. | 21:38 |
| mah454 | I have a big problem for installing ubuntu in Acer Laptop . Graphical installer do not show me partition table .... | 21:39 |
| jimmy_birer | or go get youtube-dl.py | 21:39 |
| jimmy_birer | from their website | 21:39 |
| devish | jimmy_birer: like what | 21:39 |
| klj613 | the source folder in the symlink is on NTFS and cant seem to adjust permissions | 21:39 |
| jimmy_birer | just google youtube-dl.py | 21:39 |
| guntbert | usr13: if you edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly your changes will be overwritten with the next kernel update, thats why editing /etc/default/grub and then running sudo update-grub is recommended | 21:39 |
| jimmy_birer | devish:go get youtube-dl.py,save it to your folder with your name | 21:39 |
| IdleOne | youtube-dl is in the repos | 21:39 |
| jimmy_birer | IdleOne:its outdated | 21:39 |
| jimmy_birer | :| | 21:39 |
| mongy | IdleOne, it needs updating because youtube changed stuff. the one from youtube-dl site works fine | 21:40 |
| IdleOne | wasn't aware | 21:40 |
| IdleOne | good to know. thanks. | 21:40 |
| jimmy_birer | devish:go get it from their website | 21:40 |
| jimmy_birer | just search youtube-dl first link click | 21:40 |
| jimmy_birer | save it to the folder named with your name | 21:40 |
| jimmy_birer | and then open applcations>accesories>terminal | 21:41 |

| mongy | guntbert, i've just directly changed grub.cfg before, but it wont last an update-grub obviously :) | 21:44 |

| jimmy_birer | mongy brother,he downloaded the file | 21:56 |
| jimmy_birer | it isnt installed from apt | 21:56 |
| devish | mongy: the python is not directly exxecutable here i suppose | 21:56 |
| mongy | jimmy_birer, I know | 21:56 |
| mongy | jimmy_birer, it still works | 21:56 |
| jimmy_birer | let me try it | 21:56 |
| mongy | well, I always move mine to /usr/bin out of habit. | 21:56 |
| devish | me too | 21:56 |
| mongy | and make an alias called yt | 21:57 |
| jimmy_birer | mongy:you cant run downloaded files | 21:57 |
| jimmy_birer | if you didnt install it from apt | 21:57 |
| jimmy_birer | you should take it thru python | 21:57 |
| jimmy_birer | and it doesnt do it by default | 21:57 |
| mongy | alias yt='youtube-dl -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s"' outputs to a nice name | 21:57 |
| mongy | jimmy_birer, I got from youtube-dl site, moved to /usr/bin and now it executes as yt from my alias or from youtube-dl fine | 21:58 |
| jimmy_birer | mongy:he didnt do that | 21:58 |

| Ristovski | Can i install on SD card (4GB) and use persistence? | 22:02 |
| Polah | Ristovski, with what? | 22:03 |
| minashokry | jimmy_brier: intel and nvidia with optimus technology ... I could run unity before | 22:03 |
| marsje | Polah: totally hung.. mouse/keyboard stopped working | 22:03 |
| Ristovski | "Can i install on SD card (4GB) and use persistence?" | 22:03 |
| cristian_c | jimmy_birer, no | 22:03 |
| jimmy_birer | cristian_c:sorry. | 22:03 |
| Polah | marsje: Does that happen every time you remove it? | 22:03 |
| Ristovski | "Can i install on SD card (4GB) and use persistence?" | 22:03 |
| marsje | Polah: 1st time I just pulled it... | 22:04 |
| Polah | Ristovski, if the computer you're using it on can boot from an SD card and the reader is compatible with Ubuntu. You may have to get the ISO and customise it with the drivers for the SD card before installing | 22:05 |
| Ristovski | Polah : can I use persistence on an 2GB USB? | 22:05 |
| cristian_c | I tried to set the keyboard shortcuts directly from the Applications-> Settings-> Xfce4 settings manager -> Keyboard-> Applications shortcuts | 22:05 |
| mongy | Ristovski, 4gb is fine if you make a liveusb with persistence. | 22:06 |
| Ristovski | even if it is SD? | 22:06 |
| Ristovski | card | 22:06 |
| mongy | Ristovski, 2gb also works.. | 22:06 |
| Ristovski | ok | 22:06 |
| Ristovski | how to make persistence? | 22:06 |
| minashokry | jimmy_brier: I have intel & nvidia with optimus ... this configuration could run unity before | 22:07 |
| mongy | Ristovski, if your pc can boot it, yes | 22:07 |
| Ristovski | mongy ^^ | 22:07 |
| Ristovski | ehh.. | 22:07 |
| Ristovski | I dunno ... if not how to make it boot? | 22:07 |
| cristian_c | I clicked on Add and for example I typed the command 'evolution'. I pressed Ok and then the system asked me to type the key on the keyboard. In this case the key was correctly recognized as XF86Mail and has been included in the list of shortcuts | 22:07 |
| mongy | Ristovski, use usb-creator to make it, with persistence | 22:07 |

| DeviceZer0 | klj613, gnome2? or unity? | 22:22 |
| ThePendulum | There's nothing wrong with the ISO's, I installed Ubuntu using the exact same USB stick (with the exact same files) on my own PC a while ago | 22:23 |
| fr0sted | i have tried everything and cant get it to connect, im using a belkin adapter, and hopefully this will speed it up slightly ? | 22:23 |
| klj613 | gnome2 (classic) i think | 22:23 |
| klj613 | i didnt like the new 'unity' | 22:23 |
| DeviceZer0 | klj613, there should be a ubuntu forum post about resetting things. | 22:23 |
| ThePendulum | klj613: Not a lot of people like Unity. Yet Ubuntu still decided to make the 11.10 fallback 'unity 2d' | 22:23 |
| * ThePendulum applaudes | 22:24 | |
| DeviceZer0 | i dont mind unity. | 22:24 |
| fr0sted | unity rules ! | 22:24 |
| DeviceZer0 | ive gotten used to it and kinda like it now | 22:24 |
| DeviceZer0 | lol | 22:24 |
| klj613 | i've searched, and tried a few of the solutions with no luck. | 22:24 |
| fr0sted | on dualscreen with compiz... BOOM! awesomenessness | 22:24 |
| klj613 | also tried to add the panel back although its non-existant.. (the top right area) | 22:24 |
| fr0sted | so anyone got any ideas? | 22:24 |
| ThePendulum | I prefer Ubuntu because it's minimalistic | 22:25 |
| fr0sted | When I try to connect using wicd, it gives me a bad password error, even when the hub's wireless security is disabled, I get a bad password error. | 22:25 |
| ThePendulum | Unity surely isn't | 22:25 |
| Doonz | So does zfs handle the "Green" drives ok or does it have the same problems as a hardware raid card | 22:25 |
| fr0sted | ThePendulum: i agree, but also powerful | 22:25 |
| DeviceZer0 | ubuntu is in no ways "minimalistic" lol | 22:25 |
| DeviceZer0 | arch, gentoo....those are minimalistic | 22:25 |
| ThePendulum | I guess it's a personal issue. Some like Unity, some hate it. | 22:26 |
| DeviceZer0 | yea | 22:26 |
| DeviceZer0 | totally | 22:26 |
| DeviceZer0 | like kde/gnome | 22:26 |
| DeviceZer0 | ;) | 22:26 |
| fr0sted | Unity is just what i have been wanting, and now i have it, im not going back to windows | 22:26 |
| ThePendulum | I personally don't like Unity of the new Windows 8 design. I'm not ready for a world of tablets :) | 22:26 |
| fr0sted | ye ofc :D | 22:26 |
| fr0sted | i do like the classic version though | 22:26 |
| fr0sted | but much prefer unity, i love the "dock" or side panel | 22:26 |
| ThePendulum | *Unity OR the new... etc. | 22:26 |
| DeviceZer0 | i wanted to try one of the new WM's...so i tried fedora15 and gnome3...which sucked real bad. total mess for me | 22:27 |
| ThePendulum | It seriously costs me at least twice as much time to get where I want using Unity | 22:27 |
| DeviceZer0 | then switched to ubuntu/unity and it works great | 22:27 |
| gnuvince | I'm trying to get pyo (http://code.google.com/p/pyo) to work on a laptop with an onboard sound card (obviously) and I keep getting an error from PortMidi that my MIDI device is closed. Has anyone gotten it to work? | 22:27 |

| ThePendulum | Now trying to install 10.04 from USB | 22:27 |

| fr0sted | unity took me 3 days to et working with compiz, new to it all you see, as an os | 22:28 |
| symptom | i made changes to synaptic via synclient and syndaemon, but Im trying to figure out how to make them persist accross reboot.... any help? | 22:28 |
| DeviceZer0 | gnuvince, did you install the dependencies? | 22:28 |
| gnuvince | DeviceZer0: yes | 22:28 |
| fr0sted | symptom: tried doing it in root ? sudo su | 22:29 |
| DeviceZer0 | gnuvince, ok. no ideas. only thing i thought of was dependencies | 22:29 |
| StaticSyphon | Hello :) | 22:29 |
| gnuvince | DeviceZer0: I can install it just fine, the problem is actually using the lib. | 22:29 |
| symptom | fr0sted, tried doing what in root? I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf but the changes didnt take after i restarted X | 22:29 |
| StaticSyphon | I'm having trouble installing ubuntu 10 onto a machine with a raid. GParted shows the disk and I can partition it, but when I run the included installer from the desktop, no device appears at all. | 22:30 |
| StaticSyphon | Anyone have any thoughts or tips as to what the issue might be? | 22:30 |
| fr0sted | symptom: tried making the changes and restarting ? | 22:30 |
| fr0sted | restartthe x server sometimes doesnt work | 22:30 |
| fr0sted | i found this out with the nvidia driver issue for unity and dualscreens | 22:30 |
| StaticSyphon | Wondering if there is some kind of driver that might need to be enabled? Strange that GParted would see it though. | 22:31 |
| manbra_laptop | Hey, how can I access my windows XP partition from ubuntu 11.04? They are both on the same hard drives, diff. partitions | 22:32 |
| Saw | I'm trying to connect from my windows OS to a linux os, which is hosted inside vm. Connect to an sql db that is. From inside the linux os it self, everything is working (locally). I can also connect using localhost ip. I can ping to the 'outside ip. I can't however connect to it using mysql port (3306). Any ideas? | 22:32 |
| jazz710 | Hello everyone. I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 onto a Dell PowerEdge which should be quite fast. I'm noticing that while it can run analyses quickly, the graphics side of things are really sluggish? | 22:32 |
| th0r | manbra_laptop: put a line in fstab mounting the ntfs partition to a mountpoint | 22:32 |
| ThePendulum | jazz710: Did you install the appropriate drivers for your graphics card? | 22:33 |
| Matth1a3 | when I create an executable using make from a folder on the desktop - where does it go?\ | 22:34 |
| manbra_laptop | th0r, thank you. I'm reading up on fstab now. I think this is what I need | 22:34 |
| DeviceZer0 | Matth1a3, did you run "make install" | 22:34 |
| th0r | manbra_laptop: you might need to install ntfs-3g, not sure if it is installed by default in ubuntu | 22:34 |
| Matth1a3 | DeviceZer0: no I did make -f makefile.unix bitcoind | 22:35 |
| DeviceZer0 | Matth1a3, also its very dependent on the application...traditionally applications you compile your self will use "/usr/local" so the binary(executable) would be in /usr/local/bin/ | 22:35 |
| DeviceZer0 | oh no idea Matth1a3....its using its own custom make file | 22:36 |
| DeviceZer0 | look around in the subfolders | 22:36 |
| raevol | anyone else's flash player get broken in a recent update? any fix available? | 22:36 |
| raevol | using chromium from the stable ppa | 22:36 |

| DeviceZer0 | raevol, flash has been working great for me on firefox. | 22:37 |
| DeviceZer0 | iirc there is a command that you sometimes have to run for chrome to have chrome relocate the new flash version | 22:37 |
| Matth1a3 | it created an executable file in the folder that the makefile resides, but when I try to run it I get bitcoind: command not found | 22:37 |

| === lucas1 is now known as lukas | ||
| DeviceZer0 | Matth1a3, how are you running it? | 22:38 |
| Matth1a3 | i just type bitcoind -server | 22:39 |
| Matth1a3 | maybe I have to copy it to usr/local/bin | 22:39 |
| Matth1a3 | ? | 22:39 |
| DeviceZer0 | Matth1a3, if you ONLY type "bitcoind" it wont work. when you simply type a command it looks in your system $PATH(try "echo $PATH" | 22:39 |

| DeviceZer0 | manbra_laptop, what are you wanting to do? mount windows partition once? or ALWAYS mount it at boot? | 22:42 |

| th0r | manbra_laptop: then mount the partition there (sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /home/username/windowsxp) | 22:43 |

| ActionParsnip | klj613: if its an internal partition, you can add an entry to /etc/fstab and it will mount automagically and with the options you set | 23:20 |
| klj613 | which i dont earlier, but the options doesnt seem to be applying to 'new folders' hence why php cant do nothing with them. going to try restart pc atm as i cant unmount the device (its busy) although i closed everything to do with the device | 23:21 |
| minashokry | please guys, anyone has clues? | 23:23 |
| jgcampbell300 | can anyone answer me this ... i am looking for a free solution to TeamViewer to run on ubuntu to fix people i knows computers from remote locations | 23:24 |
| jsec | jgcampbell300: why not use TeamViewer? | 23:25 |
| jgcampbell300 | jsec, i cant afford it just yet | 23:26 |
| szal | jgcampbell300: TeamViewer is free | 23:26 |
| jsec | jgcampbell300: ^^ that | 23:26 |
| bungholio | is there a logout command? sudo logout? | 23:26 |
| Onlyodin | killall -9 gnome-session? | 23:26 |
| szal | jgcampbell300: drawback: it runs on Wine, so might not be perfect just yet | 23:26 |
| jgcampbell300 | jsec, even if im going to charge people | 23:27 |
| bungholio | Onlyodin: thanks | 23:27 |
| jsec | szal: iirc, TeamViewer has a linux port now? | 23:27 |
| szal | jsec: a Linux "port", heavily utilizing Wine | 23:27 |
| bungholio | Onlyodin: didn't work. | 23:27 |
| Onlyodin | bungholio, welcome | 23:27 |
| Onlyodin | oh | 23:28 |
| szal | they prolly customized a Wine lib for their needs | 23:28 |
| jsec | szal: that's kind of funny. | 23:28 |
| Onlyodin | with sudo or without? | 23:28 |
| JZApples | Is anyone aware of a way to have nautilus keep the folder highlighted when you move forward and backward between folders. For example if I go into a folder from a long list of other folders and then click the back button, i would like to have the folder that i just went into highlighted so i know where i was. | 23:28 |
| bungholio | Onlyodin: tried both. | 23:29 |
| Onlyodin | something must've worked | 23:31 |
| bungholio | Onlyodin: i got it - killall -KILL -u (NAME) | 23:32 |
| bungholio | Onlyodin: thanks though | 23:32 |
| fr0sted | hey all, does anyone know anything about the brioadcast accounts ? if i try to update my status etc, nothing happens, but i am able to like stuff ? | 23:32 |

| szal | briodcast? | 23:33 |
| fr0sted | broadcast | 23:33 |
| Onlyodin | bungholio, another alternative might be to try sudo service gdm restart | 23:33 |
| szal | what's that supposed to be? | 23:33 |
| fr0sted | using gwibber, and it doesnt post my updates | 23:33 |
| bungholio | Onlyodin: okay, cool thanks! | 23:33 |

| CajunTechie | Hi everyone. Does anyone know of a good tool to search text across multiple files? I have 17k diles in a directory and need to search for specific text in one of them (I don't know which one) | 23:34 |
| freebird | please | 23:34 |
| phong_ | anyone know how to install web server for ubuntu? | 23:34 |
| qin | CajunTechie: grep | 23:34 |
| fr0sted | freebird: on login, change to ubuntu classic | 23:34 |
| CajunTechie | phong: look at XAMPP | 23:34 |
| fr0sted | on the bottom bar | 23:34 |
| freebird | fr0sted, | 23:34 |
| freebird | nice, I'll try | 23:34 |
| CajunTechie | Dug qin. Thanks! lol I completely forgot about that | 23:34 |
| fr0sted | freebird: enjoy | 23:35 |
| CajunTechie | Duh rather | 23:35 |
| exutux | CajunTechie: OMG why suggest XAMMP | 23:35 |
| fr0sted | so any ideas with the broadcast ? | 23:35 |
| CajunTechie | exutux: because it's easy for people starting out to use and grasp. What's wrong with it? | 23:35 |
| fr0sted | xammp is good with windows | 23:35 |
| exutux | phong_: web server for what? web server is apache generally but if you want use php and mysql you nedd LAMP | 23:35 |
| StaticSyphon | any one have ideas about getting an adaptec 1420sa raid card to work with Ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| exutux | CajunTechie: isn't easy is freaky | 23:36 |
| exutux | !lamp | phong_ | 23:36 |
| ubottu | phong_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 23:36 |
| minashokry | Hello, I installed fglrx by mistake (I don't have ATI card) and after that I can't login to unity anymore. I uninstalled fglrx but still can't login to unity. any clues? | 23:36 |
| GunClive | partimage does not appear in my repositories. but it should be in 11.04. how can this happen? thanks | 23:36 |
| CajunTechie | extutux: Huh? How is it not easy? You install it in like two commands?!? lol I'm not saying use it for production or anything but.. | 23:36 |
| yeats | !info partimage | 23:37 |
| ubottu | partimage (source: partimage): backup partitions into a compressed image file. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.8-1 (natty), package size 276 kB, installed size 968 kB | 23:37 |
| JZApples | Is anyone aware of a way to have nautilus keep the folder highlighted when you move forward and backward between folders. For example if I go into a folder from a long list of other folders and then click the back button, i would like to have the folder that i just went into highlighted so i know where i was. | 23:38 |
| exutux | CajunTechie: LAMP in only one command then... look above what ubottu says about LAMP | 23:38 |
| CajunTechie | exutux: XAMPP *is* LAMP. It's just a preconfigured install of it. | 23:38 |
| GunClive | yeats, i know it should be available. but it is not on my computer. but on my other computer it is | 23:38 |
| exutux | nope | 23:38 |
| atyoung | CajunTechie, fraid not, it's missing the L :P | 23:39 |
| exutux | CajunTechie: XAMMP isn't LAMP is a fake for linux... :) | 23:39 |
| CajunTechie | lol | 23:39 |
| zul__ | I've a problem with git commit in permissions.. who can help me? | 23:39 |
| fr0sted | oh nvm i found the problem and the fix for gwibber | 23:40 |
| yeats | GunClive: check to see that universe is one of the repos you have selected | 23:41 |
| CajunTechie | Fr0sted: What was the problem? I'm having a huge prob with the current gwibber myself | 23:41 |
| exutux | CajunTechie: and most important thing...XAMPP isn't in the official repos too ...ok OT finished :p | 23:41 |
| CajunTechie | exutux Good point. But I'm sure if he can use LAMP he can figure out how to download and untar a file properly. I hope at least! | 23:42 |
| CajunTechie | Holy crap, grp is taking FOREVER to search these files :-( | 23:43 |
| CajunTechie | grep rather | 23:43 |
| GunClive | yeats, it is. but does not appear | 23:43 |
| GunClive | yeats, i am using 64 bit system. is that the reason? | 23:43 |
| BlueProtoman | Does anybody here have Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit and WINE, and would be willing to test a few programs for me? | 23:44 |
| BlueProtoman | I'm getting a System76 in a few months, and I might play some games on it with WINE. | 23:45 |
| exutux | CajunTechie: ok and apache2 ( fake apache inside XAMPP ) doesn't will have important security updates in that way...athoer good points for don't choose XAMPP? :p | 23:45 |
| exutux | s/athoer/other/ | 23:46 |
| yeats | GunClive: apparently so, looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/partimage | 23:46 |
| yeats | GunClive: I use 64 bit and can confirm that it does not install | 23:46 |
| GunClive | yeats, thank you. i thought my system was corrupted. but now i am relieved. | 23:47 |
| qin | BlueProtoman: Use wine appdb on they website. | 23:47 |
| BlueProtoman | qin: I know, but it doesn't have data for all the things I wanna use. | 23:47 |
| yeats | GunClive: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1358546 | 23:48 |
| qin | BlueProtoman: Then #winehg may be good place. | 23:48 |
| bazhang | BlueProtoman, #winehq not here | 23:48 |
| BlueProtoman | Thanks, then. | 23:48 |

| satch5150 | hi all, trying to get xen installed on natty amd64 - apparently there is no libc6-xen pacakge for amd64 - how do I work around this ? | 23:52 |
| james_ | zul__, is this when you're trying to push to master or actually commit a file locally | 23:53 |
| feydr | what is ubuntu use virtuoso for? -- just upgraded and it's smacking my cpu around -- it's a sql db but not sure what it's being used for | 23:53 |
| === rafase282 is now known as Rafase282 | ||
| zul__ | I get that error after doing: git add filename; git commit -a -m "message"; git push | 23:54 |
| james_ | zul__, you're going to want to check your ./.git/config file within your local repo, check which user the origin 'master' is using, and verify on the remote side that that user has sufficient privileges to the entire repo store | 23:54 |
| james_ | your origin 'master' setting will look something like: | 23:55 |
