| urlin2u | sublim21, give a better description, but the very first respnse was the answer. :D | 00:44 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: and when I use the no-split option, it finishes in 1 second without any copying | 00:44 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: am I to interpret this as a really really dead drive ? | 00:44 |
| sublim21 | urlin2u: yes. couldn't agree more. stating your problem clearly is of utmost importance. thanks for the help. its just odd the little lightening icon takes more space than is obvious | 00:45 |
| urlin2u | sublim21, it's not always easy on your end that's for sure.:D | 00:45 |

| denstark | Hello! Was just wondering how I can have other users access an external drive automatically mounted | 00:48 |
| denstark | Using Ubuntu 11.04 | 00:48 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: at this point, I just wanna copy everything wholesale (thus using --no-split) but it doesn't do that .. it just finishes quickly and shows as result 0 bytes rescued | 00:48 |
| Polah | denstark: Change permissions of files on the drive so they're publically read/writeable and you might want to configure a umask to make it so new files are also publically read/writeable | 00:49 |
| debugnet | according to my help, the -r is for reverse and -d is for O_DIRECT. both the options would not require other options (ie -r 3) so the three doesn't mean anything. also what is the log file, was that suppose to be a redirect ( > ) of stdout? | 00:49 |
| grumbly | How do I discern what version of Ubuntu i am on? I'm super drawing a blank and all Ican remember is uname | 00:49 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: I've looked through the man page and --no-split is the closest thing I found; I don't want to use good old dd on its own since it apparently just ignores errors and by simple ignoring them, it brakes any semblence of filesystem | 00:49 |
| Polah | Or for a bit more security, put the users you want to have access in a group and then set file permissions so only owner and group can read/write | 00:49 |
| denstark | Polah: I tried sudo chmod go+rx -R /media/drive but the permissions didn't change | 00:49 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: true that about dd | 00:50 |
| new001 | What is the command to get an X on your cursor to kill an x window? | 00:50 |
| Polah | denstark: sudo chmod 755 | 00:50 |
| denstark | new001: xkill i believe | 00:50 |
| new001 | thank you | 00:50 |
| Polah | denstark: 755 is read execute, 766 for read/write with no execute | 00:50 |
| new001 | denstark, that was it, thanks | 00:50 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: I thought -r mean retries, lemme look at that again | 00:50 |
| denstark | Polah: Ah ok.. I like letters better than numbers, trying 755 now | 00:50 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: default options for ddrescue could be as simple as: ddrescue /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb1 | 00:50 |
| denstark | :P | 00:50 |
| urlin2u | grumbly, lsb_release -a | 00:51 |
| Mean_Admin | according to : http://linux.die.net/man/1/ddrescue | 00:51 |
| grumbly | thank you urlin2u | 00:51 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: one side note though is that the destination should usually be a file or drive at least the same size or LARGER than the source drive | 00:51 |
| denstark | Polah: chmod 755 -R /media/drive still doesn't change the permissions :( | 00:51 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: sorry, according to http://linux.die.net/man/1/ddrescue , -r, --max-retries=<n> exit after given retries (-1=infinity) [0] | 00:51 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: that could be a version issue with the -r option | 00:51 |
| denstark | Polah: it doesn't throw errors or anything | 00:51 |
| exutux | is that an NTFS partition denstark ? | 00:51 |
| Polah | denstark: Do you want write access or only read/execute? | 00:52 |
| denstark | exutux: yes indeed it is | 00:52 |
| grumbly | Now, is it worth it to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04? | 00:52 |
| denstark | Polah: Just read will be fine | 00:52 |
| Polah | denstark: Or that. NTFS requires remounting to change permissions. | 00:52 |
| szal | denstark: what filesystem? | 00:52 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: I'm using 1.11 | 00:52 |
| denstark | szal: ntfs | 00:52 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: so that manpage should be valid | 00:52 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: 1.14 myself | 00:52 |
| szal | NTFS doesn't know Unix permissions, you set permissions w/ uid and gid in the mount options | 00:52 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: probably | 00:52 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: bleeding-edge, eh :P | 00:52 |
| denstark | Polah: Aha.. so I guess I should just add it into fstab, I was thinking I could do it the easy way ;) | 00:52 |
| urlin2u | grumbly, download the ISO and look at it really, unity is different, but there is a classic desktop as well | 00:53 |
| denstark | szal: Thank you, I'll do it via fstab w/ uid/gid | 00:53 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: all right then ... so I'll try a vanilla ddrescue /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb1 | 00:53 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: funny, try to sometimes | 00:53 |
| Polah | denstark: Yes, add an entry to fstab with permissions set through options and it'll do them each time the system is loaded | 00:53 |
| szal | or, respectively, umask/gmask/dmask | 00:53 |
| grumbly | i've used unity... not a fan, really, but that's probably because I just dont want to get used to it. | 00:53 |
| denstark | I will do that, thanks all for the help | 00:53 |

| ubottu | denstark: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 00:53 |
| fr0sted | btw quassel irc is pretty neat irc app for ubuntu :) | 00:54 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: my recommendation would send to a file so you can keep the image for backup purposes later, just a thought... | 00:54 |
| grumbly | urlin2u: is that the only major difference? there's no boot time improvement? no back end goodness? | 00:54 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: so mount the destination ? | 00:54 |
| grumbly | urlin2u: also, I dont remember how to boot an ISO from GRUB2 | 00:55 |
| denstark | How can I grab the UUID of this drive? I'd rather use that but I am not sure how to grab it | 00:55 |
| Polah | denstark: Mount it and do mount -l | 00:55 |
| szal | denstark: blkid | 00:55 |
| Polah | oh no wait, sudo blkid is right. Had a bit of a dumb moment | 00:55 |
| urlin2u | grumbly, I suppose it is really a subjective answer here in the end boot time is the same pretty much updated apps, we really don't answer these sort of questions; to many variables. | 00:55 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: neg, just send it to a file on another drive that has enough free space. you can subsequently mount it with loop option to view it later after the hours of waiting for it to rescue the sectors one at a time | 00:55 |
| denstark | szal and Polah: Thanks :) Got it! | 00:56 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: I had a destination partition /dev/sdb1 that I was using | 00:56 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: in my original tries ... I'll just mount that I guess (it's empty) ; but I'm assuming a 10 minute since last succesfull read is pretty bad | 00:57 |
| grumbly | urlin2u: fair point. You know of any verdant places I can read on how to improve the performance of my beater ASUS K50Ij? | 00:57 |
| urlin2u | grumbly, no really. | 00:57 |
| urlin2u | not | 00:57 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: that is fine but just keep in mind that the destination will become and exact image of the source drive, to include deleted files, drive 'properties' like file system it uses and fragmenation, etc. | 00:58 |
| johngilbrough | I'm looking for a way to convey the client's timezone to the server when working with gnome-terminal - any ideas? | 00:58 |
| grumbly | urlin2u: phooey. How about laptop performance in general? | 00:58 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: so I just initiated ddrescue /dev/sda3 /media/dest/img logfile | 00:59 |
| WinCamXP | hi | 00:59 |
| urlin2u | grumbly, I think you have to get in the trenches like the rest of us and search the web and test, any answer her is totally subjective, and a opinion. | 00:59 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: however, it's splitting and then /media/dest/img file isn't growing .. | 00:59 |
| grumbly | urlin2u: i know... UGH... I wish google would archive stuff from more than a year back... | 01:00 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: put a > inbetween the img and logfile so the logfile gets the output. again might be a 1.11 version issue with it asking for a log file but that just seemed strange to have a third file name in the command to me | 01:00 |

| grumbly | urlin2u: i know it's not old, but it's not my amazing macbook... which just pooped it's guts out on my lap. | 01:02 |

| sublim21 | grumbly: sucks man. lets all have a moment of silence for your lose | 01:06 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: I'm assuming there are so many errors, it just keeps splitting, trying to find some useful peice of data to copy | 01:06 |
| rowas | AegNuddel: Uninstall it and go with full Ubuntu. It's a miracle you got that far. lol | 01:06 |
| grumbly | sublim21: it will rise again. this is not the 1st time i've tossed a laptop | 01:06 |
| urlin2u | grumbly, I didn't think you were corrected it two lines afterward. | 01:06 |
| grumbly | or this one | 01:06 |
| sublim21 | grumbly: may it rise like a might phoenix from the ashes | 01:06 |
| AegNuddel | but it played sound when I had my sister's speakers in, so it makes no sense. the only difference is these need electric power which they currently have | 01:07 |

| scollier | right now it's grabbing the initrd and kernel, and stopping at "(initramfs)" No init found | 01:08 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: it's all either skipped or "no data from this extent was copied succesfully" | 01:08 |

| Mean_Admin | debugnet: errors:1 errsize:479GB | 01:14 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: maybe it is working then afterall, trying waiting for it to do its thing for a while but if it stops after only a few minutes or an hour only then something truly went wrong | 01:14 |
| Barzogh | hello, got a weird issue here , my "id_rsa" and id_rsa.pub" disappeared from .ssh/ however if i try to locate them, it shows me the right path .. any idea? | 01:14 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: so I should let it run for like hours and hours ? | 01:15 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: that error messages means that it had one bad spot, bad drives will normally have that but the program is designed to skip those bad spots and continue with the good spots. | 01:15 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: yep, could be for days depending on the drive size. | 01:16 |
| jorge_ | let me try this 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 && sudo nvidia-xconfig' | 01:16 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: you're right, unfortunately the whole log was *filled* with skipping because of errors and couldn't recover anything | 01:16 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: I literally didn't see a single ANYthing recovered | 01:16 |
| Mean_Admin | debugnet: all right then.. days it is ! | 01:16 |
| Lucas_ | ola!? | 01:17 |
| debugnet | Mean_Admin: sorry about that, i had a 40 GB drive that took literally 72 hours to recover and it had about 10% drive damage...good luck. | 01:17 |

| urlin2u | WhoCaresss, did you notice the refrences to XP that is not really true anymore and barely was to begin with. | 01:25 |
| WhoCaresss | yes I did, however I'm fairly sure I created my partitions incorrectly (did not let Ubuntu auto-configure them). I know of know other reason why my drive would be performing so poorly | 01:26 |

| jrib | Hot2Trot: and pass --color=always to ls | 01:47 |
| szal | jrib: I guess the colours are stripped by less, so you'd need an option for less to show the colours | 01:48 |
| Hot2Trot | jrib: can you explain in a little more depth? You mean i should make an alias saying less= less --color=always ? | 01:48 |
| Hot2Trot | also, running 'ls -la |less -R' does not give colors | 01:48 |

| ktwohig9 | just updated nvidia drivers to get unity working on 11.04....what a PITA. Killed my TV on HDMI. Had to search everywhere for a solution | 01:55 |
| fr0sted | ktwohig9: how did you get it working, i had the same issue with dualscreen setup | 01:56 |
| ktwohig9 | had to go to the nvidia x system and configure it as split screen, then make it a clone | 01:56 |
| jxshxx | Howdy! So, I put 10.04LTS on a laptop with a dead screen with the intent of using external keyboard/mouse/monitor. What's buggin' me is that it appears I cannot close the lid once I've turned it on. The choices in Power Management for "closed lid" are Hibernate, Suspend, Blank Screen and Shut down. Is there a way to keep it running w/ a closed lid? | 01:56 |
| fr0sted | ktwohig9: i used the 185 driver, and it worked for me with no problems | 01:57 |

| fisix | i'm dual booting ubuntu and windows 7. i'd like to encrypt the windows 7 partition with true crypt, but i'm not sure whether it'll overwrite grub. what do? | 01:57 |

| NeedWirelessHelp | Running sudo dhclient wlan0 Outputs this: No DHCPOFFERS received Any ideas? | 01:58 |

| new2net | I wish I knew enough about ubuntu to help myself. | 02:34 |
| penos | new2net, what do you need to accomplish? | 02:35 |
| new2net | this network setup. http://tinyurl.com/3ugp4w5 where box1 is ubuntu 11.04, box2 can't reach the router. | 02:36 |
| new2net | i can provide a less short link for the image if you want | 02:36 |

| phong_ | hi guys | 02:36 |
| phong_ | ;) | 02:36 |
| phong_ | is it a good choice to install ubuntu on SSD or just regular SATA drive? | 02:37 |
| PMantis | Hi guys, fresh VPS with 10.04.1. I install ufw, and I'm getting errors starting the firewall. "iptables-restore: line 66 failed" and more. 'ufw reset' didn't help. Ideas? | 02:37 |
| billybigrigger | new2net, you need to setup a bridged connection between nic1 and 2 | 02:37 |
| new2net | Mean_Admin: I installed uhh.. MyPaint using Ubuntu Software Center, it was a team effort. | 02:37 |
| phong_ | anyone of you give me good suggestion? | 02:37 |
| phong_ | your help is appreciated. | 02:37 |
| billybigrigger | new2net, you probably need a bing long boring IPTABLES line, :) google is your friend on that one | 02:37 |
| Mean_Admin | new2net: you have to enable forwarding in ubuntu if you intend Box1 to bridge NIC1 and NIC2 | 02:37 |
| urlin2u | phong_, yeah don't vampire the channel. | 02:38 |
| phong_ | urlin2u, what | 02:38 |
| wildbat | !ics | new2net: OMG you need to learn some drawing too :> | 02:38 |
| ubottu | new2net: OMG you need to learn some drawing too :>: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 02:38 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: what do you "good idea"? | 02:38 |
| pooltable | ok what do i need to do the share info fome ubuntu to windows 7 ?? | 02:38 |
| phong_ | Mean_Admin, currently i install windows ...do you think i should have another SSD for ubuntu>? | 02:38 |
| pooltable | from | 02:38 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: you can simply dual-boot on the same drive | 02:39 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: unless it's super small | 02:39 |
| phong_ | i have 80GB intel ssd | 02:39 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: that is, unless you don't have enough space left on it | 02:39 |
| phong_ | how much space does it needs? | 02:39 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: I've lived with 10GB | 02:39 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: but probably less | 02:39 |
| phong_ | 10? | 02:40 |
| phong_ | wow | 02:40 |
| phong_ | what if i need more..can it be done adjust the space? | 02:40 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: my case was some time ago, I don't know today but I'm assuming 10GB is enough | 02:40 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: you can adjust afterwards, yes | 02:40 |
| phong_ | cool | 02:40 |
| phong_ | well how to install it? | 02:40 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: although _I_ have never really done it myself | 02:41 |
| phong_ | currently i have windows | 02:41 |
| new2net | wildbat, billybigrigger, Mean_Admin: thank you. That should be more than enough info to get started. | 02:41 |
| phong_ | do i need to partition somethign? | 02:41 |
| Mean_Admin | new2net: pleasre, good luck, you may want to try ##networking also, never know.. | 02:41 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: well, you have to burn the Ubuntu LiveCD | 02:41 |
| urlin2u | phong_, you were on here days ago talking about ubuntu you know how. | 02:41 |
| phong_ | and will it messup my windows boot? | 02:41 |
| weecol | dual boot | 02:41 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: then you boot off the CD and Ubuntu will guide you with a wizard and ask you how much space you want to give it | 02:42 |
| ArseneRei | Does anyone use xterm or urxvt on ubuntu? I'm trying to get custom fonts and I haven't found anything on google. | 02:42 |
| phong_ | ok thanks | 02:42 |
| rww | !xterm | 02:42 |
| ubottu | If with all the cute terminals that are around you're still using xterm, then you deserve any problem you're experiencing with it. Go away. | 02:42 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: it's visual, no command line | 02:42 |
| phong_ | ok thanks Mean_Admin | 02:42 |
| PMantis | ufw issue on a VPS: http://pastebin.com/Dw0Fg606 | 02:42 |
| ktwohig9 | phong_: or you can go to http://www.ubuntu.com/download and just use the one that says Run it with Windows | 02:42 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: it won't mess up with Windows; when you boot the computer, you'll be asked whether you want to boot Ubuntu or Windows | 02:43 |
| Mean_Admin | ktwohig9: I hear Wubi si problematic | 02:43 |
| phong_ | ok | 02:43 |
| ArseneRei | rww: Alright, thanks. | 02:43 |
| ktwohig9 | Mine has been good for over a week now | 02:43 |
| Mean_Admin | ktwohig9: good :) | 02:43 |
| dr-willis | wubi can be problematic. phong_ use wuth caution | 02:43 |
| weecol | any other problems i can solve here | 02:43 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: just burn a livecd of Ubuntu | 02:44 |
| ktwohig9 | yeah i can only speak on my experience with it, which is very limited | 02:44 |
| Mean_Admin | phong_: you can even try it without installing it | 02:44 |
| dr-willis | id rather use ubuntu in vbox then use wubi | 02:44 |
| ktwohig9 | Only real issue I have come up with is the audio over HDMI not working | 02:45 |
| urlin2u | ktwohig9, you might want to read what the designer says about what wubi was designed fro. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ | 02:45 |
| dr-willis | hdmi audio wiuld not be a wubi specific issue i would think. | 02:46 |
| ktwohig9 | cool thanks | 02:46 |
| fr0sted | yo, anyone got an idea where the icons are saved for apps within unity ? i want to change them to custom icons you see | 02:46 |
| Ubuntu1 | Hi | 02:47 |
| ktwohig9 | urlin2u: So it's pretty much just a trial launcher | 02:47 |
| urlin2u | ktwohig9, yeah, can be moved to a partion though. | 02:48 |
| ktwohig9 | Funny, I keep thinking of doing the full install. That kinda seals the deal for me | 02:48 |
| urlin2u | ktwohig9, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354 | 02:48 |
| Ubuntu1 | Does anyone have Nvidia Screen flickering issues? on Ubuntu 11.04 | 02:49 |
| mrjbar | what is the Unity 2D shortcut key for doing expose? In Unity 3D it's super + w, but that doesn't work in Unity 2D. | 02:49 |
| fr0sted | Ubuntu1: no sorry, im using the 185 version driver though, as it works with unity very well | 02:50 |
| fr0sted | for dualscreen | 02:50 |
| fr0sted | anyone got an idea where the icons are saved for apps within unity ? | 02:50 |
| fr0sted | for the launcher | 02:50 |
| bazhang | mrjbar, clicking the workspaces? | 02:50 |
| ktwohig9 | urlin2u: Migrating it would still leave it as Wubi, which means it could still be prone to issues right? | 02:50 |
| sizzers | has anyone here every joined a linux machine to a windows domain? | 02:50 |
| urlin2u | ktwohig9, no it is a install then. | 02:51 |
| Kronsby | hello | 02:51 |
| mrjbar | bazhang, I mean just exposing the windows and not the workspaces | 02:51 |
| Ubuntu1 | Fr0sted, Thanks anyway but Still can't resolve the issue? Whenever the CPU goes to high flickers, but does anyone know how to keep the Nvidia compiz settings to maximum performance | 02:52 |
| qin | mrjbar: It is compiz feature. | 02:52 |
| ktwohig9 | urlin2u: ah ok then, thanks for the heads up on that | 02:52 |
| fr0sted | Ubuntu1: ye man you go to the nvidia x server ( settings ) and change it in there, click from quality to performance | 02:52 |
| urlin2u | ktwohig9, no problem. | 02:52 |
| bazhang | mrjbar, in unity-2d clicking that shows all the windows presently up | 02:52 |
| ktwohig9 | looks like I know what i am doing in the AM | 02:53 |
| bazhang | qin, he's talking abou t the feature in unity-2d | 02:53 |
| Ubuntu1 | Fr0sted, Ok, well I have tried that before in Ubuntu 11.04 but doesn't seem to save after rebooting the system is there any chance of fixing that? | 02:53 |
| fr0sted | Ubuntu1: yes you need to save the changes tothe conf file, sudo su to gain root privs then write save configuration file | 02:54 |
| fr0sted | also try removing the driver you have and use the package manager to install 185 | 02:54 |
| fr0sted | worked a treat for me | 02:54 |
| bazhang | fr0sted, sudo or sudo -i never sudo su | 02:54 |
| dr-willis | dont use sudo su. try sudo -s ;) | 02:55 |
| Ubuntu1 | Ok | 02:55 |
| Krawnsbie | why sudo -i? | 02:55 |
| dr-willis | or -i ;( | 02:55 |
| usr13 | because it's cheaper | 02:55 |
| Krawnsbie | fair enough | 02:55 |
| Mean_Admin | why not sudo su ? | 02:57 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo Mean_Admin | 02:57 |
| usr13 | because it's cheaper - fewer key stokes - less typing - it's the recommended method ;) | 02:58 |
| Krawnsbie | it is the same amount of keystrokes... | 02:58 |
| Khisanth | and one of them is the same :) | 02:58 |
| usr13 | fewer pixels | 02:58 |
| Krawnsbie | hahaha not my pixels! | 02:59 |
| Mean_Admin | bazhang: reading a little of that and the manpage, Im not sure why you'd use sudo -i besides for the environment variables | 02:59 |
| usr13 | Well never mind. sudo su - root | 03:00 |
| Krawnsbie | the only thing I can think of is to stay in the habit of using that | 03:00 |
| Krawnsbie | it is good to know both | 03:00 |
| usr13 | From now on that is the recommended method. Ok? | 03:00 |
| bazhang | usr13, no stop that | 03:00 |
| Krawnsbie | yes massa | 03:01 |
| usr13 | bazhang: So what are we? A bunch of sea-lawyers? | 03:01 |
| ktwohig9 | so pretty much someone like myself with little experience in linux should never sudo su? | 03:01 |
| Mean_Admin | ktwohig9: the advice I was given is just use 'sudo' and not keep superpowers | 03:02 |
| bazhang | ktwohig9, the ubuntu method is sudo, yes. | 03:02 |
| dr-willis | ktwohig9: correct | 03:02 |
| ktwohig9 | ok, I will remember that. thanks folks | 03:02 |
| Krawnsbie | is this a place to ask questions with problems we have or am i going to be yelled at saying this is not google | 03:02 |
| usr13 | ktwohig9: Correct. It is a dangerous command that should be used with caution. | 03:02 |
| bazhang | Krawnsbie, this is the very place | 03:02 |
| Mean_Admin | Krawnsbie: try | 03:02 |
| mukti | How hot is too hot for a laptop CPU? I just ran acpi -V and saw my CPU was running at 82 degrees C... | 03:03 |
| wildbat | mukti: that's way tooo hot | 03:03 |
| ktwohig9 | too hot | 03:03 |
| Mean_Admin | mukti: start blowing on it | 03:03 |
| rww | no it isn't :\ | 03:03 |
| Krawnsbie | Codeblocks keeps saying that I do not have the permission to run my code How do I edit permissions | 03:03 |
| wildbat | mukti CPU > 70C is unacceptable. | 03:03 |
| wildbat | mukti: 75C is the highest it should ever be . | 03:04 |
| rww | wildbat: depends what precisely it's measuring | 03:04 |
| rww | e.g. on my desktop, there are two sets of sensors. one should be < 72, the other should be < 100 | 03:04 |
| MonkeyDust | 46°C here | 03:04 |
| rww | but anyway, you should be using lm-sensors :\ | 03:04 |
| wildbat | rww: of coz, assuming the sensor is working ;p | 03:04 |
| ktwohig9 | mukti - is that idle or under load? | 03:04 |
| mukti | rww: how do I know what censors I'm runing? | 03:04 |
| mukti | ktwohig9: I just started running skype | 03:05 |
| rww | !lm-sensors | 03:05 |
| ubottu | To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 03:05 |
| rww | mukti: use that instead, it's more informative ^ | 03:05 |

| cab938_dt | I want to boot to a usb key, but I would prefer if the key was not fat32, suggestions? | 03:08 |
| debugnet | Krawnsbie: chmod command. if you use the GUI, right click and properties. | 03:09 |
| Krawnsbie | Thanks :D | 03:09 |
| cab938_dt | The startup disk creator eats whatever is there and drops as fat32, so I get max 4gb files | 03:09 |
| === Luiz-Picolo is now known as Picolo | ||
| urlin2u | cab938_dt, boot what? | 03:09 |
| === Picolo is now known as picolo | ||
| cab938_dt | Just the 1104 startup disk | 03:09 |
| cab938_dt | so I can have a casper environment and run from machine to machine with it | 03:10 |
| cab938_dt | It's a 16gb key I'm using | 03:10 |
| urlin2u | cab938_dt, do a full install. | 03:10 |
| jA_cOp | Where is librt located? What is typically linked when I pass -lrt to gcc? | 03:10 |
| cab938_dt | So I did that, and first I partitioned the key into two disks, an ext3 and a ntfs, thinking "haha, I am so smart, now I can use part of the key in windows too" | 03:11 |
| cab938_dt | but my laptop, which would boot from the startup disk created key, would not boot from this one | 03:11 |
| cab938_dt | and windows had no idea what the key was | 03:11 |
| cab938_dt | don't know if the arrangement of partitions mattered, the ext3 one was first | 03:11 |
| urlin2u | cab938_dt, ypou put the ntfs at the front of the thumb. | 03:11 |
| cab938_dt | I didn't, do I need to? | 03:12 |
| === Merdam is now known as Merdam-afk | ||
| mukti | rww: this is the output from running "sensors" http://paste.ubuntu.com/680970/ | 03:12 |
| cab938_dt | ubuntu can see them both, fwiw | 03:12 |
| urlin2u | cab938_dt, yes and just do a full install the casper will fill up, and is pretty much impossible to clean. | 03:12 |
| jA_cOp | "ls /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib32 | grep rt" doesn't yield any form of librt for me :( | 03:12 |
| new2net | billybigrigger: I'm having trouble getting from seeing the NIC in the output of new2net@box2~: lshw to having the NIC get called eth1 in ifconfig ~_~ | 03:12 |
| rww | mukti: I don't have WWW access right now, sorry. Perhaps someone else can help. | 03:13 |
| cab938_dt | urist, so ntfs in the first location, then a full install on the ntfs drive? or onto the ext3 in the second partition? | 03:13 |
| urlin2u | cab938_dt, ntfs first, ubuntu will only install to a ext type use ext4 | 03:14 |
| mukti | rww: The fan is running at 3515 RPM and the two adapter sensors are running at 70 and 78 degrees C | 03:14 |
| Krawnsbie | where is permissions located? | 03:14 |
| cab938_dt | urlin2u, ok, is there anything special i need to do to make sure i can boot from the ext part? I don't understand why the laptop won't boot from it right now | 03:14 |
| ktwohig9 | mukti: my opinion is all 3 temps are too high. Is there onyl 1 fan in that case? | 03:15 |
| Surlent777 | hi everyone; I'm finding that all of a sudden my laptop's microphone isn't being detected by KDE or by the GNOME Control Centre, yet it worked previously. The only major thing I can recall changing is doing a BIOS upgrade whilst maintaining the Windows 7 install on the other partition, but the microphone works as expected there. Curiously, it does seem to show up in alsamixer, but gnome-sound-recorder doesn't recognize it. Any ideas? | 03:15 |
| dorigentoo | hi | 03:16 |
| mukti | ktwohig9: I believe so, its a (1 week old) Thinkpad T420 | 03:16 |
| dorigentoo | Does someone know how to do a grep regex which will exclude all lines having a 0 ? | 03:17 |
| urlin2u | cab938_dt, you have to install the grub bootloader to the thumb, use the something else option in the install where asked where the install goes, there is a dropdown there to choose where grub goes, to the thumbs mbnr which has no partition numbers for example sdb. | 03:17 |
| urlin2u | mbr | 03:17 |
| ktwohig9 | mukti: ah ok it's a laptop. If it were me, i would call the place you bought it from and demand a replacement | 03:17 |
| cab938_dt | urlin2u, ok, I'll give it a wing | 03:17 |
| debugnet | dorigentoo: use the -v option in any grep command to exlude matches. | 03:17 |
| cab938_dt | tyvm | 03:17 |
| mukti | ktwohig9: really? | 03:17 |
| ktwohig9 | my sony F series I7 runs max under load 62C | 03:18 |
| dorigentoo | thx debugnet :) | 03:18 |
| ktwohig9 | Mukti: yep, otherwise you will definately need to start thinking of some cooling solutions for it | 03:19 |
| ktwohig9 | but to me, right out of the box it should not go that high | 03:19 |
| debugnet | dorigentoo: np | 03:19 |
| mukti | ktwohig9: it doesn't usually, I think it might have been skype (beta) | 03:19 |
| emgels | hola a todos | 03:19 |
| bazhang | !es | emgels | 03:20 |

| emgels | quien me puede a alludar con mi compiz | 03:20 |
| mukti | ktwohig9: usually its cool and quiet; but when I ran skype, it got extremely hot, and I could hear the fan blowing | 03:20 |
| ktwohig9 | mukti: whne you got those readings you posted was it running skype still? | 03:20 |
| mukti | yes | 03:20 |
| splitpaw-mobile | hi | 03:20 |
| bazhang | emgels, english , #compiz | 03:20 |

| dorigentoo | debugnet, actually my grep is really weird :( I wanted to search for the string "font-family" in all files in my dir (which I normally do with grep -r "font-family" *). But here, it returned every files, even those which don't contain the string. I tried "grep -cr "font-family" *|egrep -v 0" to count the number of occurences, and I get a bunch of results, but still if I vim into on of the files and search for font-family, I can't find it. D | 03:21 |
| dorigentoo | id you ever see this problem before ? | 03:21 |
| mukti | ktwohig9: hold on, I'll be right back | 03:21 |
| ktwohig9 | then it isnt skype | 03:21 |
| ktwohig9 | ok | 03:22 |
| new2net | My 2nd network card is not detected by "lshw -c net", but it has power.... what?!? | 03:22 |
| debugnet | dorigentoo: grep -iR 'font-family' . | 03:22 |
| dorigentoo | erf it works | 03:23 |
| debugnet | dorigentoo: or maybe grep -iR 'font*.family' . where . is the directory you are in so change as necessary | 03:23 |
| dorigentoo | I'll read the doc trying to figure out why this i option is mandatory. Thank you very much, you're very helpful | 03:24 |
| debugnet | dorigentoo: i option is for case INsensitive so that files with Caps at the beginning of words are included as well | 03:25 |
| debugnet | dorigentoo: btw, it was the cap R option that does 'recursive' directory searches | 03:25 |
| dorigentoo | yes I was wrong with the lowercase one | 03:25 |
| dorigentoo | ok thanks | 03:26 |

| Phong_ | yes | 03:37 |
| mukti | okay, sorry I forgot who I was talking too a few minutes ago, but I'm back | 03:37 |
| ktwohig9 | mukti: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1748475 | 03:37 |
| Hypershock | ok, now try the one you don't want to try, the standard 32bit one, it'll install a pae kernel so you won't loose access to your ram | 03:37 |
| wildbat | Q: ~ is there something that can make SSD and HHD to work together as if it is a single hybird drive :> | 03:38 |
| Hypershock | in fact it'll run better too as x64 is still experimental | 03:38 |
| Phong_ | Hypershock, come on man, i want x64 | 03:38 |
| Phong_ | x64 will handle more RAM | 03:38 |
| Polah | Hypershock: PAE isn't a very good substitude for 64-bit. | 03:38 |
| Polah | Phong_: What problems are you having? | 03:38 |
| Phong_ | Polah, i can't install ubuntu x64 11.04 | 03:39 |
| decio | without 64 bit each app can only access 4GB of RAM | 03:39 |
| Polah | Phong_: Yes but why not? What happens when you try? | 03:39 |
| Phong_ | when boot, ...and later on....i got busybox 1.7.... | 03:39 |
| lo-fi_ | is there anyone who can help me with spa_supplicant? | 03:39 |
| lo-fi_ | wpa_supplicant* | 03:39 |
| Phong_ | then next line is: type 'help' bla bla | 03:39 |
| debugnet | wildbat: RAID is probably what you are going to want but it will probably be difficult as hell to setup since you will have to do software RAID instead of hardware RAID | 03:39 |
| Phong_ | Polah, then it said, can't find live cd | 03:39 |
| Phong_ | information | 03:39 |
| === Merdam-afk is now known as Merdam | ||
| decio | Phong, how many times did you try to install it? | 03:40 |
| Polah | decio: 3.2GB of RAM is all the system can use, 4 billion or so address spaces. PAE gives 64GB and 64-bit is 16EB or some other huge number | 03:40 |
| Polah | Phong_: Have you checked the md5sum of the ISO you have, and burned the disc at a slow speed then verified to make sure it's a proper burn? | 03:40 |
| TheNerevar | urlin2u: It works thank you very much. | 03:41 |
| mukti | ktwohig9: post #3 talks about how to get thinkfan working, but I'm not sure how to add kernel modules | 03:41 |
| Phong_ | ok i'll try that | 03:41 |
| urlin2u | TheNerevar, cool. :D | 03:41 |
| Polah | !md5sum | Phong_ | 03:41 |
| wildbat | debugent, i doubt it ~ how md RAID put frequently use data to SSD only , and have the size of the HDD . | 03:41 |
| ubottu | Phong_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 03:41 |
| Polah | Phong_: md5sum your ISO and find the matching hash on those pages, if it doesn't match then your ISO is corrupt or incomplete and you'll have to redownload and reburn it. If it does match, boot the LiveCD, hold shift during boot and then select "Verify disc integrity" (or something along those lines) from the menu it gives you | 03:42 |
| mukti | ktwohig9: also, the sensors are currently at 46 and 45 degrees celcius | 03:42 |
| decio | You have to do md5sum to check if the files on you liveCD are the correct ones. | 03:42 |
| debugnet | wildbat: current technology doesn't have anything designed around that although you could mount the two drives in such a way that certain files are on one and others are on the SSD that are usually read-only. | 03:42 |
| decio | I tried to do a stupid thing. I tried to install a liveCD in a SD Card and now I can't format the volume or delete the files in it. Can someone help me formating the volume, is it anyway to force it? | 03:43 |
| penos | decio, hahaha | 03:43 |
| TheNerevar | decio: Do you have something like a Palm or a phone or something along those lines to put it in? | 03:43 |
| debugnet | wildbat: i would have the SSD as the boot drive and mount theh normal HD to another folder and have sim links to all the folders that will keep the data you don't want on the SSD on the normal drive | 03:43 |
| Polah | decio: SD cards have the little switches that stop writing to them when they're enabled? Check the switch is in the unlocked position. | 03:43 |
| ktwohig9 | Mukti: Ok well the temps sound MUCH better. As far as installing kernal modules, that is beyond me | 03:44 |
| mukti | ktwohig9: okay, thanks | 03:45 |

| Singham | hi...till 10.04,the videos which I used to watch on youtube.com were saved in tmp folder.In 10.10 they arent stored there..where are they stored ? | 04:03 |
| urlin2u | Singham, not sure, but the firefox add-on video downloadhelper will take care of it. | 04:04 |
| urlin2u | or minitube | 04:05 |
| stupididot | there are some sites that convert youtube to flv or avi online too, haven't checked them out in a while though. | 04:05 |
| urlin2u | the downloadhelper converts on the fly stupididot | 04:06 |
| stupididot | oh. | 04:06 |
| stupididot | so the addon does it itself? | 04:07 |
| stupididot | or does it use a service? | 04:07 |
| urlin2u | stupididot, you can set it up to not sure which formats though. | 04:07 |
| debugnet | Singham: are you using firefox? if so you can check the preferences to see what the download folder is set to. | 04:07 |
| bazhang | urlin2u, mp4 | 04:07 |

| urlin2u | bazhang, that makes sense. | 04:08 |
| Singham | <debugnet> : What to check in preferences ? | 04:08 |

| stupididot | where do i paste that? im such a noob :( | 04:11 |
| Morgz | stupididot - can use pastie.org | 04:11 |
| debugnet | Singham: save files to box should have a folder input there, you can usually check the check box next to it and input a folder of your choice then set it to manual so it always asks where to save (obviously that is your option). btw, what are you using to save youtube videos? firefox usually have a temp folder in your home~/.mozilla/firefox/????????.default/Cache folder where the ?'s are random. | 04:11 |

| StanleyPTP | luigi: The funny thing is when there a background sound, and animation, thus slowing the system down. The sound effect sound much better. | 04:32 |
| StanleyPTP | luigi: the "sound funny", I mean the sound is cut off too early before it has the time to make a full sound | 04:33 |
| luigi | StanleyPTP: So you'd hear 1 second of a 2 second sound, you mean? | 04:33 |
| luigi | Like that? | 04:33 |
| luigi | Not a sound that is too high or too low in pitch than what you want? | 04:33 |
| StanleyPTP | luigi:yes, i think it is miliseconds rather than a second | 04:34 |
| miraenvigado | http://paste.ubuntu.com/680994/ | 04:34 |
| StanleyPTP | luigi: it sound like normal but cut off too soon. | 04:34 |
| luigi | StanleyPTP: Are you using digital audio? Or is it using a normal 3.5 mm jack to output sound to speakers? | 04:35 |
| StanleyPTP | luigi: I'm using the normal analogue output. The green one. | 04:35 |
| StanleyPTP | luigi: fyi, i tried using many different computers. it is the same | 04:35 |
| jewles | if i wanted to allow people to run ircd on ubuntu server... how can i restirct them to one IP? without using jails | 04:36 |

| usr13 | miraenvigado: Is this a laptop? | 04:36 |
| luigi | jewles: One IP outbound or inbound? | 04:36 |
| lo-fi_ | hey so ive been having trouble with wpa_supplicant all day today, i've made a forum post explaining hopefuly enough of my problem, would anyone mind taking a look at it? | 04:36 |
| StanleyPTP | luigi: Impress (openoffice 3.3) make proper sound on Windows after re-path of sound effect. | 04:37 |
| jewles | only inbound | 04:37 |
| luigi | StanleyPTP: Does it always make proper sound? | 04:37 |
| jewles | outbound traffic shouldn't matter | 04:37 |
| StanleyPTP | luigi: the reason I ask in here is that I think it has something to do with ubuntu sound system - pulse audio | 04:37 |
| usr13 | miraenvigado: Your WiFi card must be RTL-8139 (although it's not identified as such). Is that it? What does iwconfig say? | 04:37 |
| luigi | jewles: You won't be able to do it easily, then. Ask in ##networking if you'd like someone with more experience in that area to help you out. | 04:38 |
| luigi | StanleyPTP: PulseAudio is quite terrible sometimes. I'm not a big fan of it. | 04:38 |
| jewles | i suppose if i owned... 100.10.1.2 100.10.1.3 100.10.1.4... i wouldn't want someone putting listen *:6667; in their config and bind all IPs | 04:38 |
| luigi | So yes, it is something to do with pulseaudio if it works in windows and the problem bridges multiple computers. | 04:39 |
| luigi | StanleyPTP: Submit a bug report. | 04:39 |
| jewles | i will ask | 04:39 |
| luigi | Oh wait | 04:39 |
| usr13 | luigi: Sometimes it works great, sometimes not so great. | 04:39 |
| luigi | jewles: Here's an idea. Force the ircds to be run on localhost only, and force the users to use ssh tunnels to connect to it. | 04:39 |
| usr13 | luigi: But you can just un-install it. | 04:40 |
| luigi | jewles: Limit ssh to only one remote session at a time, problem solved. | 04:40 |
| StanleyPTP | luigi: looking at the sound preference, applications tab, it displayed the background sound (continuous) then the sound effect which appears and disappear very fast. | 04:40 |

| lo-fi_ | is there anyone who can help me with wpa_supplicant? | 04:45 |
| luigi | StanleyPTP: No. | 04:45 |
| luigi | PulseAudio is a gnome-thing that lets users set volume levels independently for each program. | 04:45 |
| luigi | It does other things too, but that's one of the big things. | 04:45 |
| StanleyPTP | luigi: will it be possible to just modify the openoffice/libreoffice to use ALSA instead of the default sound server? | 04:46 |
| luigi | No. | 04:46 |
| Polah | luigi: It's not a gnome-thing. It's a sound server for handling input/output, generally on top of ALSA | 04:46 |
| luigi | Polah: It's pulled in by gnome though. | 04:46 |
| miraenvigado | sorry, but i didn't find an answer | 04:46 |
| luigi | Polah: Vanilla gnome is packaged with pulse, last I checked. ;) | 04:47 |
| luigi | KDE? Not so much. | 04:47 |
| Polah | luigi: That doesn't make it a gnome thing though, it might come with it but it is standalone. | 04:47 |
| CoverSlide | doesn't kde have some sound manager thingy? | 04:47 |
| almoxarife | from my own experience, trying to remove puseaudio cripples ubuntu, unless you like to listen to sound from a terminal | 04:47 |
| usr13 | miraenvigado: is it a laptop? | 04:48 |
| Polah | StanleyPTP, you'll still get sound I believe but you won't have volume control and suchlike after removing it until you get something else | 04:48 |
| luigi | Polah: Mentioning how it's a sound server that each program wanting to output sound needs to connect to give out anything would only confuse someone who is trying to make a decision here. I know what it is and does. | 04:48 |
| miraenvigado | yes it is | 04:48 |
| usr13 | miraenvigado: Check to see if a switch is toggled off. | 04:48 |

| StanleyPTP | I have submitted a bug report to openoffice, but it has been so long. | 04:59 |
| Polah | StanleyPTP: The same problem occurs in Libreoffice? | 05:00 |
| StanleyPTP | Since only OpenOffice Impress has this problem | 05:00 |
| StanleyPTP | yes | 05:00 |
| StanleyPTP | Polah: yes | 05:00 |
| Polah | StanleyPTP: Wait what, OpenOffice Impress has the problem but you get it in Libreoffice? They're different office suites... | 05:01 |
| StanleyPTP | I am using both 10.10 and 11.04 | 05:01 |
| CoverSlide | Libreoffice is a fork of Openoffice | 05:01 |
| StanleyPTP | one came with openoffice the other libreoffice | 05:01 |
| StanleyPTP | both has the same problem | 05:02 |
| StanleyPTP | I am using 10.10 on 2 computers and 11.04 on 2 others computers | 05:02 |
| StanleyPTP | I only tried Windows Openoffice via Vbox. | 05:03 |
| StanleyPTP | In Vbox sound come out prefect every time. But of course, it need re-path, different filesystem. | 05:04 |
| StanleyPTP | The problem might be how OpenOffice/LibreOffice handled the sound effect thingy or PulseAudio cannot handle the sound request fast enough. | 05:06 |
| StanleyPTP | That the reason I do not know where to ask for help Ubuntu or OpenOffice. And to make it complicated LibreOffice. | 05:07 |
| aaas | is there a good program that will sync files between windows and linux say every night... i only need one-way sync? rsync? | 05:08 |
| michal_sz | do you want use it on desktop or on a server ? | 05:09 |
| aaas | michal_sz me? from desktop to server | 05:09 |
| CoverSlide | wsync which way? | 05:10 |
| aaas | CoverSlide: i want to sync from windows desktop to ubuntu server | 05:10 |
| CoverSlide | i'd use cygwin + rsync on the windows computer | 05:11 |
| CoverSlide | but that's just me | 05:11 |
| SIFTU | aaas: you have so many options.. I would probably create a samba share on the linux box and mount it from windows.. then use whatever to copy the deltas | 05:12 |
| aaas | CoverSlide why not rsync from ubuntu | 05:12 |
| __jon | hi all. i'm connected to internet directly by a adsl modem. Need i to set a firewall ? | 05:12 |
| CoverSlide | well either way would work i guess | 05:12 |
| aaas | SIFTU yes but what to copy | 05:12 |
| aaas | SIFTU is rsync still the prefered? | 05:13 |
| SIFTU | aaas: well you could use any windows command that way.. robocopy, xcopy, whatever | 05:13 |
| michal_sz | aaas: have tried http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/10650 ? | 05:13 |
| aaas | SIFTU I would rather use the server to grab... so Im looking for an ubuntu solution i guess | 05:13 |
| Hiro2 | could someone help me remove grub and edit windows boot file so that it'll default to booting into windows? | 05:15 |
| SIFTU | aaas: that will work also.. just personal preference I try not to install extra stuff on workstations (like cygwin etc).. and I keep the shares on the server | 05:15 |
| CoverSlide | cron + rsync | 05:15 |
| CoverSlide | you can just have grub boot to windows | 05:16 |
| aaas | SIFTU well thats the thing the only reason I have to sync is becasue truecrypt + samba with thunderbird and evernote aren't playing well... i need to run them locally, hence the syncing | 05:16 |
| new2net | sudo ifconfig eth1 up .... SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out ? What does that even mean? Nothing relevant in sys.log | 05:16 |

| magnus | Polah, that's right :) | 05:42 |
| Polah | magnus: In your PHP files you need to add the line error_reporting(1) somewhere between the <?php ?> tags | 05:42 |
| Polah | magnus: There's other levels too I think, here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php | 05:42 |
| magnus | oki :) | 05:42 |
| Polah | magnus: There may also be an option to do so globally in your php config files. | 05:45 |

| wh1zz0 | Hello guys.. I have a static IP and I'm running ubuntu natty desktop. I wish to host my mini website on my home computer. In other words I wish ti turn my desktop into a web server. Yes I've done some googling and I understand some of the advantages and disadvantages but I want to do this as it's part of the learning curve and it will hlp me understand a few things better. So here goes my question, how can I achieve this without having to | 06:40 |
| === james is now known as Guest76348 | ||
| TearDrop | Flannel, Oh. Whats the difference :S | 06:40 |
| Flannel | TearDrop: All three use linux as the kernel, and have many of the same programs available for them. It's just a different group of people managing it, with differences due to that, basically. | 06:40 |
| TearDrop | gentoo sounds like a good name for a frog :) | 06:41 |
| bullgard6 | [Jaunty] A window appears: "Username onflict" Please type a new username for your local account: ***. Cancel | OK" What has coused the appearance of this window? It never appeared with me before. | 06:41 |
| Lint | TearDrop: archlinux does not sign packages or track dependencies, gentoo compiles everything from source | 06:41 |
| Gredeu | are home web server notorious for hack attempts ? | 06:41 |
| TearDrop | Flannel, Meh, they should all work together on one big distro. One for like, everybody. | 06:41 |
| Lint | why VT1 keylogs my X session? is it normal? what's to blame?? | 06:41 |
| TearDrop | Like.... why have patoons when you can form an army. | 06:41 |
| Matth1a3 | when someone talks about binaries, they mean a build of source code - like an executable, right? | 06:41 |
| Lint | TearDrop: unfeasible | 06:42 |
| Flannel | Matth1a3: right | 06:42 |
| xqix9u2v | misconfigured home web servers? | 06:42 |
| TearDrop | Lint if all use the same kernel and programs... why not? | 06:42 |
| Lint | TearDrop: not the same binaries, dependencies etc. | 06:42 |
| Flannel | TearDrop: The same reason all automobiles aren't the same color; people like different things. | 06:42 |
| q0_0p | by default in /usr/src/linux is .config already modified by default? the reason why i ask is because i wish to have less modules. | 06:42 |
| wh1zz0 | Can I achieve this using ubuntu desktop or I will have to do a full install of ubuntu server.. this is my question | 06:43 |
| TearDrop | then make all automobiles pink :D problem solved. and it would be pretty too! | 06:43 |
| xqix9u2v | either | 06:43 |
| Lint | wh1zz0: there's no difference except price | 06:43 |
| TearDrop | haha, I get it though. | 06:43 |
| Flannel | wh1zz0: You can just install the webserver stuff, yes. | 06:43 |
| Flannel | !apache | wh1zz0 | 06:43 |
| ubottu | wh1zz0: 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+) | 06:43 |
| Flannel | wh1zz0: The wikipage there gives you all the details on setting it up | 06:43 |
| q0_0p | wh1zz0: you can use ubuntu desktop and just remove the gui. | 06:43 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, either one will work but start with server | 06:43 |
| TearDrop | A lamp is something you smash over stupid guys head. not a webserver >.< I'm still getting used to all this. | 06:44 |
| wh1zz0 | Thanks Flannel and Linit >> I remember doing this once on windows 2003 using IIS but this time I'm trying to figure how to get it to work on ubuntu | 06:44 |
| calmpitbull | good morning. i have a possibiliti to put ma sim card directly into laptop and i was wonderning does anybody have any experience with gprs and 3g networks on ubuntu | 06:44 |
| TearDrop | calmpitbull, I DO! :D | 06:44 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, do you have a router? | 06:44 |
| Lint | wh1zz0: it's much more difficult due to stupidly diffiult apache configuration | 06:45 |
| Lint | last time I tried it, packaged apache wasn't even associating php with php | 06:45 |
| Flannel | If you install all of the right packages (that wikipage walks you through it), it's pretty simple and straightforward. | 06:45 |
| Lint | can someone explain why VT1 keylogs my X session?? | 06:45 |
| wh1zz0 | Lint: Hmm | 06:46 |
| xqix9u2v | heres how you do webserver in a nutshell | 06:46 |
| TearDrop | Lint, because a hacker wants your password. all your base are belong to us | 06:46 |
| xqix9u2v | install ubuntuy, forward port 80 on router | 06:46 |
| wh1zz0 | Flannel: Which of the Wikis are you referring to? | 06:46 |
| xqix9u2v | done | 06:47 |
| Flannel | wh1zz0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP the one from the factoid ubottu sent y | 06:47 |
| wh1zz0 | Thanks Flannel .... | 06:47 |
| Flannel | TearDrop: We prefer to keep this channel support only, with discussions and chit-chat (and humorous comments) in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 06:47 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: I don't have a router | 06:47 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: But my IP is static | 06:47 |
| TearDrop | Flannel, sorry :( | 06:47 |
| xqix9u2v | ok do you dial up, dsl, cable? | 06:47 |
| xqix9u2v | ok sorry thats right | 06:48 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Cable.. ethernet | 06:48 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: i.e LAN | 06:48 |
| calmpitbull | TearDrop: come to offtopic i would like to know how does it work and | 06:48 |
| wh1zz0 | dhcp | 06:48 |
| xqix9u2v | ok... does this box have 2 ethernet cards? | 06:48 |
| TearDrop | calmpitbull, It just worked for me... idk. I didn't need to do anything. | 06:49 |
| xqix9u2v | if not, get 1 more card and make it into a router AND webserver | 06:49 |
| lxuser | hi | 06:49 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Not sure.. I know I have a LAN adapter | 06:49 |
| xqix9u2v | this raises complexity considerably... but if you wnat to learn | 06:49 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: And wireless adapter..Is there a fast command to check ? | 06:50 |
| Lint | also repository site tries to hack me | 06:50 |
| xqix9u2v | well just looking at back would be fine | 06:50 |
| lxuser | I'm back with ubuntu now. However I have a small issue. I installed a new theme and the window buttons are on the left side. How do I change it to the right? | 06:50 |
| xqix9u2v | you have 1 ip, and many computers? | 06:50 |
| Flannel | xqix9u2v, wh1zz0: I don't know why he'd need two network cards to host a website. | 06:51 |
| lxuser | btw, that's why I installed a new theme because all the basic ubuntu themes are on the left. | 06:51 |
| xqix9u2v | no he has 1 ip | 06:51 |
| xqix9u2v | and no router | 06:51 |
| Flannel | xqix9u2v: He wants to use the same computer he's currently using, just add apache to it. | 06:51 |
| xqix9u2v | so next box he plugs in will not get ip | 06:51 |
| xqix9u2v | ahhh he has 1 computer only.. | 06:52 |
| new2net | xqix9u2v: I want to learn. http://pastebin.com/bFa6EXgj I can't bring my interface eth1 up | 06:52 |
| new2net | err, yes I tried running it as su | 06:52 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: if by just looking at the back, it's one LAN port that exist | 06:53 |
| wh1zz0 | Flannel: Exactly | 06:53 |
| Lasers | I'm trying to dd a local sda2 over network -- in particular folder. How can I do it? I tried this... sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 | ssh chris@xps.local 'dd of=/media/ea11b55c-1942-43d7-a321-d4ae7773ebc9ae7773ebc9/vaio-sda2.iso' -- but no such file or directory. | 06:53 |
| xqix9u2v | ok you do have a router, and 2 eth | 06:53 |
| wh1zz0 | Same PC | 06:53 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Nah, no router | 06:53 |
| xqix9u2v | hmm yea install Ubuntu, forward port 80, done! | 06:53 |
| bullgard6 | [Jaunty] A window appears: "Username onflict" Please type a new username for your local account: ***. Cancel | OK" What has caused the appearance of this window? It never appeared with me before. | 06:53 |
| xqix9u2v | yeah you probably have router builtin to cable modem that is class c addy | 06:54 |
| hplpb | what, in your opinions, is the best way to remotely control the current x desktop? | 06:54 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: I thought port forwarding is something that has a relationship with routers | 06:54 |
| xqix9u2v | hplpb, realvnc, ultravnc, tight vnc | 06:54 |
| TearDrop | How do you make your own bootsplash? Cus I have photoshop and im not to bad if i say so myself, Id like to make my own with pretty birds and pink :3 | 06:54 |
| xqix9u2v | any of those | 06:54 |
| Lint | (1) why VT1 keylogs my X session | 06:55 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Well yeah no doubt there's an inbuilt router but it's inaccessible | 06:55 |
| TearDrop | Cus ubuntu needs more pink :D | 06:55 |
| Lint | (2) why Ubuntu ,mirror tries to hack my machine? | 06:55 |
| hplpb | xqix9u2v: are either of those any better than using x11vnc? | 06:55 |
| SwedeMike | Lint: what makes you think (2) ? | 06:55 |
| TearDrop | AND blue, gotta have light blue , like a baby robin :3 | 06:55 |
| rww | Lint: how are you coming to the conclusions that lead you to ask these questions? | 06:55 |
| TearDrop | ? | 06:56 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, type 'ip route' what is last line? | 06:56 |
| Lint | I see denied incoming connection attempt from mirror server | 06:56 |
| Lint | repeated one | 06:56 |
| xqix9u2v | hplpb, sorry i should have asked what platform the client is... | 06:56 |
| Onlyodin | new2net, what is the output of `sudo ifconfig eth1 up`? | 06:56 |
| new2net | Onlyodin: exactly the same | 06:57 |
| xqix9u2v | rww, can you remove my ban in #debian?? | 06:57 |
| Lint | rww: about (1) it's every key I type in x session including arrows and stuff is printed on VT1 | 06:57 |
| rww | xqix9u2v: no, I am not a #debian operator | 06:57 |
| xqix9u2v | ok thnak you rww | 06:57 |
| Gredeu | when you install a package is there anyway to get it to appear in the unity menu ? | 06:58 |
| hplpb | xqix9u2v: using tightvnc viewer on windows, androidvnc on my phone | 06:58 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 proto static | 06:58 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, try to connect to 192.168.1.1 in browser | 06:58 |
| TearDrop | does itunes work on ubuntu 11.04 wine? | 06:59 |
| Lint | Gredeu: isn't it automatic via *.desktop files? | 07:00 |
| wh1zz0 | YEah... did that before, says cannot be accessed | 07:00 |
| TearDrop | rww why are so many people getting unbanned? did they say sorry? | 07:00 |
| xqix9u2v | hplpb, i like RealVNC but not many features. if ultravnc worked better in my scenario i would try that it is pretty full of usefull stuff | 07:00 |
| new2net | this is crazy... instead of a bridged connection I'm going to connect to my laptop with a wire, bridge to my router wirelessly, tunnel through the router with ssh using my box as a proxy. two eth? is 1 too many | 07:00 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: SOMAportal is not enabled on this system. | 07:01 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, ahh alright just checking... well i would call your ISP and tell them you need to access that page | 07:01 |
| hplpb | xqix9u2v: thanks | 07:01 |
| sujith | My ubuntu hangs when i shut it down | 07:01 |
| xqix9u2v | hplpb, no prob | 07:02 |
| StanleyPTP | Can anyone help me regarding pulse audio? | 07:02 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, i am not familliar | 07:02 |
| TearDrop | rww, I think everyone should have to make a full appology before they are let back in. | 07:02 |
| Shirakawasuna | TearDrop: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347 | 07:02 |
| Shirakawasuna | TearDrop: also lots of bans are automated 1 hour bans for flooding/whatever, I assume | 07:02 |
| lxuser | ok maybe nobody knows what I'm talking about. the buttons on the you click to close, minimize or maximize is on the left side instead of the right, how do I fix this? thanks | 07:02 |
| lxuser | on the window | 07:03 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: I did that before but it seems it's disabled by default.. So there's no way this would work without forwarding any port? | 07:03 |
| StanleyPTP | Is it a good idea to apt-get remove pulse? | 07:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | TearDrop: ah, and for the iTunes I just linked, the overall impression I get is that older versions are fine, newer versions are crap | 07:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | StanleyPTP: not in general, no. | 07:03 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: I called them but they said they won't open it | 07:03 |
| TearDrop | Hmm.... I am an apple dev.. so i have the new iTunes 10.5 ... it had OTA (sync without the plug) so... we might not need the usb plug support for wine to use idevices. | 07:03 |
| TearDrop | I shall test haha. | 07:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | stamina: but you can survive without it, you just have to realize that ubuntu expects it to be there and work around it | 07:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | err, StanleyPTP ^ | 07:04 |
| sujith | My ubuntu hangs when i shut down. i'm using ubuntu 10.10 and system config is lenovo ideapad z750 , i3 processor 3gb Ram. it Happens most of the times. Any suggestions? | 07:04 |

| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, ok i see yes they need to open that or you will not be able to forward. | 07:04 |
| cihhan | im trying to install linux to a laptop i have just bought, but i cant create any partition. | 07:04 |
| Shirakawasuna | sujith: I know this is kind of a stupid/annoying answer, but just updating to 11.04 might help. | 07:04 |
| wdd``` | any of u guise willing to proofread a resume | 07:05 |
| StanleyPTP | Shirakawasuna: upon an advice from luigi that I should remove pulseaudio due to my probem with impress | 07:05 |
| Shirakawasuna | sujith: basically, it's probably a config, low-level system tool, or kernel issue, most of which should change after upgrading | 07:05 |
| rww | wdd```: ask #ubuntu-offtopic or ##english | 07:05 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Whew | 07:05 |
| TearDrop | Shirakawasuna, I may seem like a cute innocent blonde, but I know and use on a regular basis 3 programming langauges and 6 scripting langauges, learning c# now to add to that. | 07:05 |
| sujith | Shirakawasuna, : I had Done that But 11.04 is giving me a lot of problems hence i had to revert back to 10.10. | 07:05 |
| Shirakawasuna | StanleyPTP: it's safe to do so, but some audio in other programs might not work as well - you might have to fiddle around and make them use gstreamer/alsa | 07:05 |
| Shirakawasuna | StanleyPTP: and you can always revert by installing pulse again | 07:05 |
| TearDrop | Shirakawasuna, So I may be able to develop a patch to get it working under wine :D. New project! | 07:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | TearDrop: that would be super awesome! | 07:06 |
| luigi | Yes, removing pulse may not be the best, but it's not a permanent thing. | 07:06 |
| luigi | Nor hard to undo. | 07:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | sujith: ah | 07:06 |
| StanleyPTP | Shirakawasuna: Let say I removed pulse, do I have to replace it with anything? | 07:06 |
| sujith | Shirakawasuna, : Yes I have updated my ubuntu through Ubuntu Update Manger Still i Facec the same issue. | 07:06 |
| TearDrop | Kay, Im gonna try that. What langauge is most of wine's code in? | 07:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | StanleyPTP: nope | 07:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | StanleyPTP: pulse builds on top of tools that are there by default, mostly alsa | 07:06 |
| StanleyPTP | Shirakawasuna: so basically open ALSA will take over by default? | 07:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | sujith: sorry about that, I don't have any other ideas :/. I'm new to ubuntu, so I don't know what to troubleshoot. | 07:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | StanleyPTP: pretty much | 07:07 |

| Gredeu | when i apt-get install a package it does not appear in my unity menu. any way to fix ? | 07:07 |
| TearDrop | StanleyPTP, Pulse is just a layer over alsa. If you have alsa, it will work instead. | 07:08 |
| rww | bullgard6: Jaunty hasn't been supported since October, either officially (for security updates) or in here. | 07:08 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, sorry... | 07:08 |
| sujith | Shirakawasuna, : Can u Direct me to anyone else who can help me on this issue? Anyways Thanks For your Support and Time :) | 07:08 |
| TearDrop | StanleyPTP, You could also use OSS. | 07:08 |
| StanleyPTP | Shirakawasuna: One more thing, if after removing pulse, then I install it again later, will it be any difficulties? | 07:08 |
| bullgard6 | Gredeu Replace Unity with GNOME 2. | 07:08 |
| Gredeu | want to use unity | 07:08 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: I was of the opinion that it is possibe without having to forawrd any port because opera unite for instance doesn't require any port forwarding to function. This made me believe that there's hope, but the technology behind opera unite and how they achieved that is what i'm stil trying to figure out | 07:09 |
| TearDrop | UGH! I just got a call >.< I g2g and get to coding :/ Cyahs Thanks all, byeeeee <3 | 07:09 |
| Lint | bullgard6: gnome2 is deprecated | 07:09 |
| lxuser | ok this is crazy! I downloaded the "not xp" ubuntu theme and the instructions says... "Install this theme in your Home/.theme folder" LOL how do I do that? | 07:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | sujith: Sorry, I'm new to #ubuntu as well so I don't know. I suppose if I were you I would check /var/log/everything after one of these freezes and see if it has any useful messages. The timestamps will be on the left and you'll have to sift through a lot of unrelated stuff. | 07:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | StanleyPTP: I haven't done it before, but I wouldn't expect it. | 07:10 |
| StanleyPTP | Shirakawasuna" tq | 07:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | StanleyPTP: You'd have to undo whatever workarounds you end up doing to make things work without pulse | 07:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | maybe | 07:11 |
| bullgard6 | rww: I made a mistake. I meant Lucid. -- A window appears: "Username conflict" Please type a new username for your local account: ***. Cancel | OK" What has caused the appearance of this window? It never appeared with me before. | 07:11 |
| StanleyPTP | Shirakawasuna: yes, noted | 07:11 |
| rww | bullgard6: what's the username it's complaining about? | 07:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | Gredeu: there's probably a command you can run, but logging out/in might help | 07:11 |

| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Yeah you are right, I understand the fact that I will have to install apache or something to create the server and create a public dir visible to the www but it's just the port forwarding part im trying to do without | 07:30 |
| Onlyodin | new2net, yes, you'll need to remove the ip(s) from eth1/eth0 first and put your ip address on br0. Perhaps try Lasers recommendation. | 07:30 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, i dont think you need apache for that only Opera Browser and Unite plugin | 07:31 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, it has been over 10 years shince i've installed Opera | 07:32 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: No I just used opera unite as an example.. when you taked about port forwarding. I want to host my website on my PC. Opera unite is a bit different in that there's a limit to the kinds of things you can share | 07:32 |
| wh1zz0 | I just wanted to point out that when I installed opera unite back when I was in windows, it worked without me having to do any port forwarding | 07:33 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, right. i was thinking like maybe a service that you sign up for and install some software to interface... this would bundle nicely with a DNS service | 07:34 |

| new2net | Pupeno_: whatever it is that you put... bits I guess | 07:47 |
| new2net | files | 07:47 |
| Pupeno_ | new2net: what? there's no someone else. What are you talking about? | 07:47 |
| Pupeno_ | lion42: I see. | 07:47 |
| bryan__ | HOW ABOUT ME | 07:47 |

| * Lint wonders why WIndows 7 can boot from floppy disk, and Ubuntu cannot | 07:48 | |
| Lasers | !details | bryan__ | 07:48 |
| ubottu | bryan__: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 07:48 |
| new2net | Pupeno_: I mean. I'm too cheap to buy a drive, I just store my big files on a file host (free). Then save the URL to a text document... it's like 99.9% compression | 07:48 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, lets take a step back... any solution that may exist will need you to sign up and utilize a server that has an Internet address. So at this point you may as well just lease a box from someone else. i have personally used a godaddy provisioned virtual machine and hosted/maintained websites | 07:48 |
| lion42 | Pupeno_, I think new2net is asking if the thing you need an external drive for cannot be served with some sort of online file hosting service. | 07:48 |
| new2net | take that bz2 | 07:48 |
| new2net | yeah, like ubuntu one | 07:48 |
| bryan__ | i love ubottu | 07:48 |
| Pupeno_ | Yeah, no, it can't. | 07:48 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: How much do these boxes cost for leasing/ | 07:49 |
| wh1zz0 | ? | 07:49 |
| glebihan | bsmith093, sorry forgot the ";" : find comicname/comics -name "*.jpg" -exec mv {} comicname/comics \; | 07:49 |
| xqix9u2v | well godaddy vms were slow but i dunno i bet maybe 15 usd/month? | 07:49 |
| bsmith093 | glebihan: i ran this and the files vanished alongwith the floder | 07:50 |
| lxuser | ok I have a problem with sound, I'm running Ubuntu 10. | 07:50 |
| Lint | can I get somwe explanation why ubuntu mirror srever tried to hack my machine? | 07:50 |
| lxuser | I don't think this chat is working at all. | 07:50 |
| new2net | glebihan: you want to find something then move it to the same place? | 07:50 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, ask around i bet you could find ones cheaper than that but idk really | 07:51 |
| glebihan | new2net, bsmith093 wants to do that yes | 07:51 |
| bazhang | Lint, thats not credible. please stop | 07:51 |
| xqix9u2v | While the dedicated servers usually starts at $79.99 at GoDaddy (but currently available at half price), you can get a VPS for less than half that. And with this fantastic promo, you can get GoDaddy’s cheapest VPS for only $15/month for up to two years. | 07:51 |
| Lint | bazhang: [UFW BLOCK] SRC=213.180.204.183 DST=192.168.0.166 | 07:52 |
| xqix9u2v | source: godaddy.com ^^ | 07:52 |
| bsmith093 | glebihan: well actually what im trying to do is get one full year of specific webcomics together in one folder and make yearly pdf files, so archive them, this particular example is the webcomic el goonish shive | 07:52 |
| Lint | bazhang: it's _incoming_ connection attempt | 07:53 |
| warddr | Hello all, I wrote a python script that should be running all the time when ubuntu is running, how can I do that? | 07:53 |
| xqix9u2v | warddr, use cron | 07:55 |
| warddr | xqix9u2v, and what time should I specify? | 07:55 |
| glebihan | bsmith093, and what happened exactly when you ran the command I gave you ? | 07:56 |
| jack | am i the only one with connection issues to de.archive.ubuntu.com? | 07:57 |
| xqix9u2v | warddr, every hour check if it is still running | 07:57 |
| glebihan | warddr, if your script just has to be started on boot, then put a command to launch it in /etc/rc.local | 07:57 |
| warddr | Ok, that's what I need, it'll keep on running from then | 07:58 |
| xqix9u2v | jack, i can ping it | 07:58 |
| bsmith093 | glebihan: im actually not sure, but the files basically wnt away, to somewhere else, and its easier to just redownload them and start over | 07:58 |
| xqix9u2v | warddr, timtowtdi | 07:58 |
| * warddr reboot to test if it works | 07:59 | |
| glebihan | bsmith093, but you said the folders were moved too ? the command cannot do anything to folders (unless the folder name contains spaces that you didn't escape) | 07:59 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Okie sorry lemme understand a lil bit better.. When you say box.. Are you referring to dedicated VPS? | 07:59 |
| jack | xqix9u2v: ping works here as well | 07:59 |
| jack | but apt hangs | 08:00 |
| Lint | is it normal behaviour for ubuntu mirrors to establish incoming connections to user machines? | 08:00 |
| xqix9u2v | jack, hmm | 08:01 |
| hamedlll_ | how to install sorce package (tar.gz) plz ???? | 08:02 |
| jack | doesn't hang in fact, just doesn't build a connection | 08:02 |
| glebihan | !compile | hamedlll_ | 08:03 |
| ubottu | hamedlll_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 08:03 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, oops.. um idk can you quote me box is a box is a box | 08:03 |
| wh1zz0 | hamedlll_: unzip first :: tar -zxvf package.tar.gz | 08:03 |
| xqix9u2v | jack, sometimes repos go down try another maybe just for test | 08:03 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Lol | 08:04 |
| jack | xqix9u2v: hmm | 08:04 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Well.. If that is true.. will the box have a configurable router? | 08:04 |
| jack | never edited my sources.list manually yet | 08:04 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, no it will have raw Internet ip | 08:04 |
| glebihan | jack, you don't have to | 08:04 |
| jack | no? | 08:05 |
| glebihan | jack, you can select you mirror from the "software sources" tool | 08:05 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Hmmm, then how about the forwarding part? | 08:05 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, again not necc you will be on Internet | 08:05 |
| jack | uh, indeed | 08:06 |
| xqix9u2v | point browser to the ip of your vm | 08:06 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: OR are you saying that when there's a raw internet IP, there's no need to do port forwarding? Cuz remember the essence is to host my website without having to buy hosting and all that. | 08:06 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: And to learn more by administering my own webserver | 08:07 |
| bsmith093 | glebihan: current the pics are laid out like this /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/2002/01/*.gif whereas i need them like this /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/*.gif | 08:07 |
| hamedlll_ | where can I download Dlink dialup modem driver??? | 08:07 |
| Lint | wh1zz0: you bind apache to your external IP. | 08:07 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, yes say you lease a VM box from somewhere... they you will ssh into it and admin it remotely | 08:08 |
| wh1zz0 | Hmm | 08:08 |
| wh1zz0 | I see.. | 08:08 |
| glebihan | bsmith093, then find /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/2002/01/ -name "*.gif" -exec mv {} /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/ \; | 08:08 |
| bsmith093 | thanks gleb | 08:09 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Is that the same as what Lint calleed binding? | 08:09 |
| glebihan | bsmith093, or even simpler "mv /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/2002/01/*.gif /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/" | 08:09 |
| hamedlll_ | where can I download Dlink dialup modem driver??? | 08:09 |
| wh1zz0 | Lint: Or are you referring to my PC | 08:09 |
| Lint | why newest ubuntu replaced free evolution with non-free thunderbird? | 08:09 |
| rww | Lint: how is Thunderbird non-free? | 08:10 |
| Lint | wh1zz0: I mean local hosting | 08:10 |
| bsmith093 | glebihan: but the problem is theat its not just 2002 but also every year since abnd they all have 01 - 12 folders inside them | 08:10 |
| glebihan | Lint, it wasn't replaced and thunderbird is free | 08:10 |
| Lint | it is Mozilla corporation product, isn't it? | 08:10 |
| rww | Lint: and? | 08:10 |
| bsmith093 | glebihan: basicaylly its broken down by month and i need it all in one folder | 08:10 |
| xqix9u2v | Lint, he has no access to router ISP does not allow servers | 08:10 |
| hamedlll_ | where can I download Dlink dialup modem driver??? | 08:10 |
| rww | glebihan: (Ubuntu oneiric uses Thunderbird instead of Evolution) | 08:10 |
| everth | hi | 08:11 |
| glebihan | bsmith093, ok then find /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/ -name "*.gif" -exec mv {} /home/ben/www.egscomics.com/comics/ \; | 08:11 |
| everth | :( | 08:11 |
| glebihan | rww, ok didn't know that, thanks (but we're not in the oneiric channel) | 08:11 |
| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, "are you saying that when there's a raw internet IP, there's no need to do port forwarding?" answer: yes | 08:11 |
| hamedlll_ | where can I download Dlink dialup modem driver??? | 08:12 |
| Lint | that means I cannot customize it without doing some idiocy like re-naming it, because 'thunderbird' is patented trademark, doesn't it? | 08:12 |
| hamedlll_ | where can I download Dlink dialup modem driver??? | 08:13 |
| xqix9u2v | lets say you now go to network-tools.com... it will show your internet address of your router | 08:13 |
| glebihan | Lint, it's an open source software, you can do whatever you want with it as long as you conform to the GPL license | 08:13 |
| xqix9u2v | but unless you can forward, noting will ever get to your LAN where the web server is | 08:14 |
| hamedlll_ | where can I download Dlink dialup modem driver??? | 08:15 |
| glebihan | !repeat | hamedlll_ | 08:15 |
| ubottu | hamedlll_: 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/ | 08:15 |
| hamedlll_ | sorry | 08:15 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Then if that's the case why wouldn't you consider my static IP (i.e for instance the one I see when I visit ipchicken.com) as a raw external IP? | 08:16 |
| xqix9u2v | hamedlll_, is this a modem card or some external device | 08:16 |
| joshuahardy95_ | hello, I am on a Toshiba satellite a500 and my wireless connection keeps dropping (this is not hardware because it works fine with Windoze). | 08:16 |
| hamedlll_ | modem card | 08:16 |
| xqix9u2v | the static IP you have is the router itself, and it is not running a httpd | 08:17 |
| wh1zz0 | Lint: okie local.. Hmm.. know of a way to make it work without having to forward anyport? Cuz I don't have a router | 08:17 |
| xqix9u2v | the httpd is running on your LAN firewalled off | 08:17 |
| xqix9u2v | using NAT | 08:17 |
| wh1zz0 | xqix9u2v: Owh | 08:17 |
| xqix9u2v | going incircles | 08:18 |

| xqix9u2v | wh1zz0, yea im kidding about troll i think you kinda had some idea here but clarification and imma goto store | 08:26 |

| sanjeevkb_1 | Lasers, thanks a lot. | 08:33 |

| sanjeevkb_1 | I recently found that nvidia released new software for the card in my laptop. Has anyone tried installing nvidia drivers before? | 08:37 |
| Lint | wh1zz0: yes | 08:37 |
| wh1zz0 | Lint: Cuz when I type 192.168.1.2 in my browser i get this: SOMAportal is not enabled on this system. | 08:37 |
| wh1zz0 | 192.168.1.1 rather.. I get this: SOMAportal is not enabled on this system. | 08:37 |
| Lint | wh1zz0: what is 192.168.* subnet? | 08:38 |
| Shogoot | sanjeevkb_1, yes, and its usually quite safe to upgrade drivers for Nvidia. Eighter from their site or when i hits repositories and then trough system-> administration -> additional drivers | 08:38 |

| Ristovski | i cant run neither one executable | 09:32 |

| test | raj-darkmystery | 10:11 |
| ionite | how do i get to my LIB folder in terminal? | 10:12 |
| === test is now known as raj-darkmystery | ||
| ionite | sattu94: i've click on Run Nano button but nothing happens | 10:13 |
| linxeh | ionite: cd /usr/lib ? | 10:13 |
| linxeh | ionite: assuming thats the folder you mean | 10:13 |
| learner | theadmin, any suggestions? | 10:13 |
| theadmin | learner: Nope, sorry | 10:14 |
| ionite | linxeh: ure right but how do i open the rules.d folder? | 10:14 |
| ionite | linxeh i tried cd rules.d but it can't get through | 10:15 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite, open a terminal and type nano followed py the path of rules.d | 10:15 |
| learner | theadmin, nope?? | 10:15 |
| theadmin | learner: That means "no"... I'm not responsible for the bugs of Ubuntu software. | 10:15 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite, for example nano /home/ionite/rules.d | 10:15 |
| linxeh | ionite: cd /usr/lib/udev/rules.d | 10:15 |
| theadmin | Except it seems he means files in /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 10:15 |
| enrry | hi all. I have updated ALSA to 1.0.24 on Lucid compiling source files. I have a problem: flash player points to a wrong audio card now. Totem works correctly | 10:15 |
| enrry | anyone can help? | 10:16 |
| linxeh | ionite: or it might be /etc/udev/rules.d - there are two folders | 10:16 |
| rk1router | undefined reference to `pthread_getspecific' | 10:16 |
| ionite | linxeh: why nothing displans in udev folder when i type LS? | 10:16 |
| abhishekpathak | linex the locate command might also help | 10:16 |
| linxeh | ionite: you generally dont want to meddle with anything in /usr/lib unless you know what you are doing | 10:16 |
| abhishekpathak | linex you can always pipe it through grep if the list is too long | 10:16 |
| ionite | linxeh: i need to add a device line in my rules.d to make my scanner work | 10:17 |
| linxeh | abhishekpathak: I know. I'm not the one with the question | 10:17 |
| linxeh | ionite: then you probably want to add a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and add the line to that file | 10:17 |
| abhishekpathak | linxeh : right. | 10:17 |
| linxeh | ionite: call it 20-scanner.rules or something | 10:17 |
| ionite | linxeh: thats right but i cant get to that file in my terminal | 10:18 |
| linxeh | ionite: cd /etc/udev/rules.d | 10:18 |
| ionite | it's in Root/lib/udev/rules.d | 10:18 |
| ionite | linxeh: it's not that directory u mentioned | 10:20 |
| Tixos | why can i not remove a keyboard language? | 10:24 |
| jrib | Tixos: how are you trying? | 10:24 |
| Tixos | everytime i restart it resets back again | 10:24 |
| Tixos | in keyboard settings? | 10:24 |
| Tixos | its selected United Kingdom, but the icon in system tray says USA | 10:25 |
| jrib | Tixos: see if that's recorded by gconf? See if you have gconf issues | 10:25 |
| Tixos | i cant remove the USA one, | 10:25 |
| ionite | what's the the command uninstall? | 10:25 |
| Tixos | how do i go about checking that | 10:25 |
| Tixos | ionite: remove or purge | 10:25 |
| jrib | !apt | ionite | 10:26 |
| ubottu | ionite: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 10:26 |
| ionite | Tixos: if i want to remove gksudo what do i type? | 10:26 |
| Tixos | read the docs | 10:26 |
| jrib | Tixos: I would explore gconf-editor and see if the settings are stored there for starters | 10:26 |
| jrib | ionite: why do you want to remove gksudo...? | 10:26 |
| linxeh | ionite: /lib/udev/rules.d/ is for package provided udev rules. if you want to provide your own, or amend existing ones, it is advised you do it in /etc/udev/rules.d | 10:26 |
| linxeh | ionite: there is even a README explaining this in /etc/udev/rules.d | 10:26 |
| Tixos | jrib what am i looking for lol? i searched keyboard... | 10:27 |

| === nickals is now known as slack-m | ||
| cristian_c | Hi | 10:29 |
| jrib | Tixos: do you mean "layout" or "language"? | 10:29 |
| cristian_c | I've got a keyboard called Media Wireless Desktop | 10:29 |
| cristian_c | Labtec | 10:29 |
| Tixos | what the difference jrib? | 10:30 |
| === techhelp_ is now known as techhelper1 | ||
| cristian_c | I tried to set the keyboard shortcuts directly from the Applications-> Settings-> Xfce4 settings manager -> Keyboard-> Applications shortcuts | 10:30 |
| lolzer | hi all .... i have a problem with the java 6 installed ... it automatically switches my wifi on and off randomly | 10:30 |
| jrib | Tixos: the difference is I see "layout" in gnome-keyboard-properties but not "language" so I am not sure what you are referring to | 10:30 |
| 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 | 10:30 |
| linxeh | ionite: ok, in that case you could edit the file it says i | 10:30 |
| cristian_c | But if I press the mail key, it always happens the same problem, that instead of opening evolution, the pc goes into stand-by | 10:30 |
| lolzer | is there a solution?? cause it works fine in windows 7 | 10:31 |
| cristian_c | Is anyone able to understand what the problem is due? | 10:31 |
| Tixos | layout then w.e | 10:31 |
| Mickey-Mouse | hi | 10:31 |
| cristian_c | I even tried keytouch editor | 10:31 |
| Tixos | its the language of the layout | 10:31 |
| Mickey-Mouse | helper are here? | 10:31 |
| jrib | !enter | cristian_c | 10:31 |
| ubottu | cristian_c: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:31 |
| Tixos | the layout depends on the language you speak doesnt it | 10:31 |
| cristian_c | and it recognized the keys | 10:31 |
| cristian_c | But after setting up the keyboard with keytouch, if I press the 'mail' key, the PC goes always on standby for no reason | 10:31 |
| ionite | linxeh: but how do i use nano? cant i just open it with a text editor and edit it? | 10:32 |
| jrib | Tixos: my understanding is layouts are organized by languages, but in the interface you add and remove layouts | 10:32 |
| Tixos | ok so what are you asking me, ive told you i cannot remove a layout | 10:32 |
| Tixos | from this properties window | 10:32 |
| bogglin | I'm thinking of putting together a Dell box to run ubuntu. It comes with integrated video: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 with a maximum 256MB of shared video memory. Anyone got this graphics chip and care to comment on its performance for web browsing, playing video, desktop effects etc? | 10:33 |
| jrib | Tixos: ok. | 10:33 |
| Tixos | maybe i mistakenly installed with USA layout | 10:33 |
| Tixos | but now i cannot remove it | 10:33 |
| Tixos | i think its a bug\ | 10:33 |
| Mickey-Mouse | hi | 10:33 |
| cristian_c | jrib, Some phrases are on two lines, one of these almost three | 10:33 |
| jrib | Tixos: psatebin: gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd | 10:33 |
| Mickey-Mouse | i can request ubuntu cloack member? host? | 10:33 |
| jrib | cristian_c: yes, please keep it to one line | 10:34 |
| jrib | cristian_c: by line I mean carriage return | 10:34 |
| theadmin | cristian_c: What he means is do not write | 10:34 |
| theadmin | like | 10:34 |
| theadmin | this | 10:34 |
| theadmin | cristian_c: That is, do not use Enter as punctuation. | 10:35 |
| cristian_c | jrib, I checked better, only one of these is over a line | 10:35 |
| jrib | cristian_c: as long as you now understand not to press enter to break up your thoughts, I don't how many lines was whatever before. | 10:36 |
| jrib | *care* | 10:36 |
| melvincv_ | How do you change the default permissions that a Linux OS assigns when we create a file, to 777 permissions? | 10:36 |
| enrry | goodbye all! | 10:36 |
| jrib | melvincv_: umask, but you don't want to change that to give 777 permissions. Why do you want to do this? | 10:36 |
| cristian_c | theadmin, I saw that the mistake was between the second and third, and between the eighth and ninth | 10:37 |
| K|nG | Hi there I deleted Compiz and OPENGL mode but now I have problems with my grapich I installed it again but still doesn`t work fine how I can fix that anyone can help me ?? | 10:37 |
| ionite | how can i edit my lib rules in text editor? | 10:37 |
| jrib | cristian_c: no, we're asking you to write one long paragraph without pressing enter instead of pressing enter after every sentence | 10:37 |
| cristian_c | theadmin, for the rest of the log has not verified this | 10:37 |
| enrry | hi all! | 10:37 |
| cristian_c | jrib, ok | 10:37 |
| enrry | goodbye all! | 10:38 |
| melvincv_ | I'd like to do that within my home folder on ordinary files. Just asking if it's possible. | 10:38 |
| jrib | ionite: what are your "lib rules"? | 10:38 |
| lolzer | hi all .... i have a problem with the java 6 installed ... it automatically switches my wifi on and off randomly | 10:38 |
| lolzer | is there a solution?? cause it works fine in windows 7 | 10:38 |
| theadmin | ionite: If you don't even know that udev rules are called udev rules, you probably just shouldn't | 10:38 |
| ionite | jrib: it's in lib/udev/rules.d | 10:38 |
| jrib | melvincv_: yes, it's possible. I told you how to do it. But it's not a good idea. Why do you want to do it? | 10:38 |
| ionite | theadmin: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1c.html | 10:39 |
| cristian_c | jrib, then I'll put it all together in the application | 10:39 |
| cristian_c | sorry | 10:39 |
| cristian_c | I'll translate better | 10:39 |
| ionite | theadmin: how can i edit my lib rules file w/o using nano? | 10:39 |
| K|nG | Is there any restore system for Ubuntu ?? | 10:39 |
| cristian_c | *in the question | 10:39 |
| jrib | ionite: why do you want to edit that? You should override like linxeh suggested above | 10:39 |
| Stanley00 | melvincv_: you can have a look at umask | 10:39 |
| Tixos | layouts = [gb,us] jrib | 10:39 |
| melvincv_ | Just consider that I came over from Windows :) | 10:39 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: what exactly is your problem? | 10:39 |
| jrib | Tixos: which do you want to remove? | 10:39 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_scn1c.html | 10:39 |
| lolzer | hi all .... i have a problem with the java 6 installed ... it automatically switches my wifi on and off randomly | 10:40 |
| lolzer | is there a solution?? cause it works fine in windows 7 | 10:40 |
| theadmin | ionite: Use vim... lol | 10:40 |
| Tixos | ive removed from the key | 10:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | K|nG, No restore, per-say; just back-up your /home and reinstall if your problems are that severe. | 10:40 |
| theadmin | ionite: Again, it's called "udev rules", the proper location for custom rules is /etc/udev/rules.d/, and it's also split across several files | 10:41 |
| Tixos | so hopefujlly this will remove? | 10:41 |
| melvincv_ | Yes, I had a look at that, but why is the maximum permissions you can set for a file 666 permissions? | 10:41 |
| ionite | theadmin: it's a brother support web i suppose i can trust it. so how do i being? | 10:41 |
| jrib | melvincv_: what? | 10:41 |
| ionite | theadmin: *begin? | 10:41 |
| K|nG | Sidewinder1: I have remove compiz and opengl and install it again but my grapich is not fine right now :S many features not working :S | 10:41 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: what output does cd /etc/udev give? | 10:41 |
| K|nG | Sidewinder1: there is very very LOW grapich :S | 10:41 |
| theadmin | ionite: sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-custom.rules | 10:42 |
| theadmin | ionite: Or something like that | 10:42 |
| melvincv_ | Give me a minute, I'll pastebin that... | 10:42 |
| cristian_c | jrib, but if I write so, is possible that you understand anything about the question? | 10:43 |
| jrib | cristian_c: just ask your question | 10:43 |
| Sidewinder1 | K|nG, For resolution issues, you might look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 10:43 |
| cristian_c | perhaps too confusing | 10:43 |
| cristian_c | the question | 10:43 |
| jrib | cristian_c: then don't ask it. But stop talking about the question that you refuse to ask then. | 10:43 |
| K|nG | Sidewinder1: Not Resoulution but There doesn`t show Fade or like this stuff like this :A | 10:44 |
| ionite | theadmin: that will help me edit on a text editor? | 10:44 |
| melvincv_ | This is from the fedora docs, I can't understand this. Why is the max permission for a file 666? http://paste.ubuntu.com/681129/ | 10:44 |
| theadmin | ionite: Why, yes, it will open a custom rules file in nano | 10:44 |
| ionite | theadmin: nono. but i dun know how to use nano | 10:45 |
| jrib | melvincv_: why do you want files to be created 777. I see no valid reason to do this. | 10:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | K|nG, If it's a compiz issue, there is a #compiz channel, I believe. | 10:45 |
| jatoo | how can i get ubuntu 11.04 to start a unity session? i somehow broke it and now i can only get a gnome2 session | 10:45 |
| theadmin | ionite: Well... If you want to use a GUI editor, do this: gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/99-custom.rules | 10:45 |
| K|nG | Sidewinder1: thanks :p | 10:45 |
| ionite | theadmin: how do i do it like in a graphic tesxt editor | 10:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | :D | 10:45 |
| ionite | theadmin: oic. | 10:45 |
| tarelerulz | Do any of you have a ipod touch 2.21 ? I can't get my to work | 10:45 |
| theadmin | APPLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE >.< | 10:45 |
| cristian_c | jrib, So can I repeat the question compactly if I understand correctly? | 10:46 |
| theadmin | Ugh sorry, couldn't hold back. Back on topic now. | 10:46 |
| melvincv_ | It's because programmers asked me to do that to certain folders. | 10:46 |
| melvincv_ | Isn't it better to just chmod -R those folders? | 10:47 |
| jrib | melvincv_: well you can't do it on a per-directory basis using umask anyway. Use Access Control Lists for that. See « man setfacl » and « man getfacl ». Don't forget to add "acl" as a mount option to the relevant partitions (see « man mount ») | 10:47 |
| ionite | theadmin: (gksudo:2906): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 | 10:47 |
| theadmin | ionite: what the... That should not be happening. Try to close the current terminal and open it again, then repeat the command | 10:48 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: just use nano.Its like notepad,except you press ctrl+o to save and quit | 10:48 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: the commands are all written at the bottom,just try using nano | 10:49 |
| jrib | melvincv_: chmod -R would not have an effect on the permissions of NEW files | 10:49 |
| abhishekpathak | theadmin: probably ionite will have to export the x-display 0 to use gedit | 10:49 |
| theadmin | abhishekpathak: That makes no sense since it already does detect the display as 0, just can't open it. I just thought he might of have su'd or sudo -i'd earlier or something so that's why I asked what I asked. | 10:50 |
| grmlu1 | Hello. I'm using irssi on Ubuntu. Does anyone know how to send a message with a leading slash? How to escape that character? | 10:51 |
| ionite | theadmin: thanks its working | 10:51 |
| jrib | grmlu1: /say /foo works | 10:51 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: thanks for nano but i'm really noob at it. sorry | 10:51 |
| abhishekpathak | theadmin: hmm. | 10:51 |
| grmlu1 | jrib: Thank you. | 10:51 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: no issues.the important stuff is to get stuff done :) | 10:51 |
| enrry | hi, anyone can help with pulseaudio/alsa configuration? | 10:51 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: i'm a total noob to ubuntu and now i'm trying hard to get use to it and honestly i find it quite hard to fix some things windows can fix easily | 10:51 |
| jrib | enrry: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 10:52 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: it will take some getting used to,but after that your system will truly be your own | 10:52 |
| enrry | problem: on lucid, updated to alsa 1.0.24. Flash player points wrong audio device | 10:52 |
| abhishekpathak | enrry: the problem might be with your mixer | 10:53 |
| abhishekpathak | check its settings | 10:53 |
| enrry | can you explain in detail please? | 10:53 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: but is it buggy? | 10:53 |
| Chrysalid | Is there a channel for general tech issues? I'm having hard drive problems but they aren't really ubuntu based, just on a machine running it | 10:53 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: if you are using unity,its a work in progress and a bit buggy | 10:53 |
| abhishekpathak | enrry: are you using gnome? | 10:54 |
| jrib | Chrysalid: ##hardware, ##linux or here are probably fine | 10:54 |
| enrry | i'm on lucid, gnome | 10:54 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: kde or xfce? | 10:54 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: they are pretty much stable | 10:54 |
| enrry | always worked well but i needed an unsupported updated due to a bug in audio play and to audio device not well recognized | 10:54 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: LTS is better or 11.04 better? | 10:55 |
| enrry | abhishekpathak: totem points the correct device, only streaming with flash player points wrong | 10:55 |
| Chrysalid | jrib Thank you for the tip. My problem is that when plug in a SATA drive, one of my IDE drives is no longer detected in bios. It is a bit strange | 10:55 |
| enrry | and pulse does not show firefox in list when audio is playing | 10:56 |
| jrib | Chrysalid: see if it's detected on another machine, and on a different port | 10:56 |
| abhishekpathak | enrry: i guess you are better off googling or asking someone else then | 10:56 |
| abhishekpathak | i am not sure | 10:56 |
| enrry | ok thanks | 10:56 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: LTS is more stable whereas 11.04 has the latest and greatest features | 10:56 |
| jrib | Chrysalid: oh I misread. | 10:56 |
| === frostie_ is now known as UbuN2 | ||
| ionite | abhishekpathak: i guessed so too. but i'm using a net book i wonder what Environment is more suitable for me. | 10:57 |
| theadmin | ionite: 11.04 probably, Unity is good for netbooks. | 10:57 |
| jrib | Chrysalid: this probably isn't the right channel then. I'd suggest motherboard manufacturer/support forums | 10:57 |
| theadmin | After all, that's it's original purpose. | 10:57 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: unity 11.04 will be good enough. | 10:57 |
| Sidewinder1 | Chrysalid, Could it be a "master/slave" issue, with the two drives. | 10:57 |
| Chrysalid | jrib: thank you for the help | 10:58 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: but unity has got this desktop 3D effects which is sluggish in netbooks? | 10:58 |
| theadmin | ionite: unity2d then | 10:58 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: there is another option on unity called unity 2d | 10:58 |
| abhishekpathak | try that | 10:58 |
| abhishekpathak | its actually better | 10:58 |
| abhishekpathak | :) | 10:58 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: ok. i'll check out on the web. there's just so much enviornments i don't know which is more suitable. some are eye candies while the others are plain yet stable and fast! | 10:59 |
| Chrysalid | Sidewinder1: They are on seperate channels, but I guess it is an old board and might be doing something strange with channels. I'll go try changing them a bit. | 10:59 |
| abhishekpathak | infact you can go for the recently release 11.10 beta as well | 10:59 |
| Chrysalid | Thanks for the help | 10:59 |
| abhishekpathak | it is supposed to fix many bugs of 11.04,but then its a beta product right now | 11:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | Chrysalid, Best of luck. | 11:00 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: so many desktop environments is one of the strengths of linux.you can use any distro underneath and have multiple desktop env to choose from | 11:00 |
| abhishekpathak | you can try out all of xfce,kde etc on your ubuntu as well | 11:01 |
| theadmin | ionite: "plain yet stable and fast", you say? Go and check e17 and Openbox | 11:01 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: yea. but i'm just so noob i need to spend alot of time asking which i cant afford due to my work. | 11:01 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: infact,kde plasma has a pretty good netbook interface as well | 11:01 |
| hamedlll | whats the best downloader for linux? | 11:01 |
| theadmin | hamedlll: There's no "best", but try jdownloader or gwget | 11:01 |
| abhishekpathak | theadmin: for a beginner,probably those two are not a good idea | 11:01 |
| ionite | theadmin: i saw elementary OS but hmm.. held back. | 11:01 |
| theadmin | abhishekpathak: You do have a point. | 11:02 |
| theadmin | ionite: Elementary just uses Gnome as of now... | 11:02 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: download a live cd of kubuntu 10.04 and try | 11:02 |
| theadmin | abhishekpathak: KDE for a netbook is *never* a good idea | 11:02 |
| ionite | theadmin: really? why is that so? | 11:02 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: you will get the kde environment,which is eye candy and has two modes- normal mode and netbook mode | 11:02 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: plus it will be 10.04 LTS so it will be rock stable | 11:03 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: i'm so noob so i need alot support and stability. as it's my first time for open source programs. | 11:03 |
| theadmin | ionite: KDE is too flashy and eyecandy and consumes a ton of video card resources so... | 11:03 |
| abhishekpathak | theadmin: KDE plasma netbook is good enough,1 Gig RAM is good enough for it | 11:03 |
| ionite | theadmin: it can be disabled right? | 11:03 |
| obert | would be a bad sign to cannot launch a VM with ubuntu? it is asking to do something like boot=initarg when try to startup it | 11:03 |
| abhishekpathak | theadmin: i say this as i have actually run KDE on my HP mini | 11:04 |
| ionite | theadmin: so far i've tired xfce, kde, unity, gome and almost elementary | 11:04 |
| theadmin | ionite: Not completely xD Try Xfce. That one is awesome, both lightweight and very easy to use | 11:04 |
| theadmin | ionite: Oh. Well, Xfce is what I use | 11:04 |
| ionite | theadmin: it's not very pretty as compared to KDE of course but it's fast. | 11:04 |
| abhishekpathak | theadmin: i am currently on xfce as well,on debian squeeze | 11:04 |
| abhishekpathak | theadmin: i switch between it and xmonad depending on my mood :) | 11:05 |
| ionite | theadmin: environment support for me is very important because i'm new and i need to ask alot of things. | 11:05 |
| theadmin | abhishekpathak: I'm on Arch, but Xfce is still Xfce... Are you runing 4.8.2? | 11:05 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: so i'm looking for pretty, fast and good support. i wonders now if there are any choices left... | 11:05 |
| theadmin | ionite: Xfce is one of supported environments. Others are Unity, Gnome, LXDE and KDE | 11:06 |
| abhishekpathak | theadmin: its debian squeeze : lol xfce 4.6 | 11:06 |
| theadmin | abhishekpathak: Oh... wow. | 11:06 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: the best bet for you is to use 10.04 LTS for now | 11:06 |
| auronandace | ionite: xfce can be themed too (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) | 11:06 |
| abhishekpathak | and in a couple of months when 11.10 is released switch to that | 11:06 |

| iceroot | abhishekpathak: yes i think so too | 11:13 |
| Xecuter | iceroot: yes :) | 11:13 |
| abhishekpathak | iceroot: thing is,ubuntu and mint are pretty neck to neck now | 11:13 |
| Sidewinder1 | !gnome3 | Xecuter | 11:13 |
| ubottu | Xecuter: 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. | 11:13 |
| theadmin | Xecuter: Gnome3 is currently not supported. | 11:13 |
| iceroot | abhishekpathak: but more important is bug 1 in launchpad | 11:14 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 | 11:14 |
| Xecuter | theadmin: so you wont help me here? | 11:14 |
| abhishekpathak | Xecuter: ubuntu is planning to move to systemd , probably the problem is due to that | 11:14 |
| iceroot | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 | 11:14 |
| abhishekpathak | Xecuter: oneiric replacing a lot of stuff like /var/lock with /lock, gdm with lightdm,init.d with systemd.In such a case gnome3 will have to be modded to run on ubuntu | 11:15 |
| Younder | abhishekpathak, inetd? | 11:15 |
| abhishekpathak | Younder: i did not get you | 11:15 |
| abhishekpathak | iceroot: isnt bug no 1 regarding microsoft? | 11:15 |
| Xecuter | abhishekpathak: wasnt the plan to implement gnome 3 in 11.10? | 11:15 |
| iceroot | abhishekpathak: yes | 11:16 |
| abhishekpathak | Xecuter: if anything they are dropping gnome support officially in 11.10 | 11:16 |
| abhishekpathak | iceroot: i do not buy into the microsoft hate thing.They do certain things well for certain kind of people.i dont see a problem with that | 11:16 |

| iceroot | abhishekpathak: iphone is also a good product but..... | 11:17 |

| abhishekpathak | ionite: you have hardware that _hates_ linux.accepted,hardware compatibility is one of the problems of linux | 11:25 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: i don't mind if it's once and for all it fixes it. | 11:25 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: that however does not mean that most hardware is unsupported.most hardware works one way or the other. | 11:26 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: but sometimes the bugs makes me depart from environment to other environ and i usually prefer a clean installion | 11:26 |
| abhishekpathak | ionite: cheers.that will indeed be the case.just be a little patient | 11:26 |
| Younder | abhishekpathak, OHH you probably have 64 bit ubuntu? | 11:26 |

| Dr_Willis | MeirD: most shell commands set their return value in a env variable you could print. I cant recall the special variable however. It would be in the bash guides. | 11:33 |
| ionite | abhishekpathak: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html | 11:33 |
| iceroot | ionite: ubuntu is not based on rpm, its based on deb-files. please dont use rpm files | 11:33 |

| ubottu | ionite: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 11:33 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | rpm is for redhat mandriva fedora etc | 11:34 |
| ionite | iceroot: what's RPM for? | 11:34 |
| iceroot | ionite: red hat package manager | 11:34 |
| laurus | Does anyone know of a simple GTK or Qt timer application where one can start and stop the timer ticking down with a button press? | 11:34 |

| Jeanbeaudrillard | yea | 11:34 |

| _viking | . | 11:35 |
| StevenR | laurus: it also did countdown... I don't remember it's name, but "alarm" as a search string will probably yield it | 11:35 |
| laurus | Thanks StevenR :) | 11:36 |
| ionite | iceroot: why can't Xsane work with my scanner? i've already added a line to my rules.d | 11:36 |
| cristian_c | I've got a keyboard called Media Wireless Desktop by Labtec. I tried to set the keyboard shortcuts directly from the Applications-> Settings-> Xfce4 settings manager -> Keyboard-> Applications shortcuts. 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 i | 11:36 |
| cristian_c | ncluded in the list of shortcuts. But if I press the mail key, it always happens the same problem, that instead of opening evolution, the pc goes into stand-by. Is anyone able to understand what the problem is due? I even tried keytouch editor and it recognized the keys. But after setting up the keyboard with keytouch, if I press the 'mail' key, the PC goes always on standby for no reason | 11:36 |
| iceroot | ionite: depending on the scanner, normally you just need the driver | 11:36 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | must be a driver prob | 11:36 |
| StevenR | laurus: a quick search suggests "alarm-clock" | 11:37 |
| _viking | i am trying to get my canon printer to work, but there is no info on the web about it | 11:37 |
| _viking | it is a scanner, fax, photo printer, printer, cd printer | 11:37 |
| ionite | iceroot: i get this xsane failed to open device invalid argument | 11:37 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | i just plug my printer and it automaticly install the correct driver | 11:37 |
| ionite | iceroot: i remember some weeks ago i added a line in my rules.d and it work. | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | _viking: canon often has very poor or no linux support for many of their printers. | 11:38 |
| _viking | dr_willis why is that, can't ubuntu sort that out | 11:38 |
| _viking | canon makes the best printers | 11:38 |
| laurus | StevenR: Yes I just installed that but it doesn't seem to have any stopwatch feature. | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | _viking: it has nothing to do with ubuntu.. canon is the one not supporting the os.. and personally i will never buy canon again. i find theur printers and devices to be .. well.. junk. | 11:39 |
| StevenR | cristian_c: sounds like there may be an existing keyboard shortcut defined. | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis | _viking: if canon wont release the specs.. linux driver makers cant do much except try to reverse engineere things. | 11:39 |
| _viking | dr_willis i understand the point about canon not supporting free software, but there is no way in hell you can call anything made by canon junk | 11:40 |
| _viking | they make the BEST printers and cameras | 11:40 |
| cristian_c | StevenR, thanks for your answer. How can I discover it? | 11:40 |
| laurus | _viking, yeah I agree. Can you switch printers though? | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | _viking: I can call the canon printer i have junk.. its now sitting in the closet.... | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | I will stick to my Brother brand printer for a long time. | 11:40 |
| _viking | laurus luckily the printer has an lcd screen and can print form a flash drive, so i dont really need to connect it to a computer | 11:41 |
| laurus | _viking, I recommend Brother printers if you want a GNU/Linux compatible printer. | 11:41 |
| laurus | _viking, oh well there yo go :9 | 11:41 |
| laurus | :) | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | problem solved. :) | 11:42 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | good then :) | 11:43 |
| samuelsapps | for cannon printer you must some extra effort to find the driver for linux, my friend have experience that he once find canon printer, he find it on canon europe website | 11:44 |
| Dr_Willis | samuelsapps: if the driver even exists. took over a year for the linux driver for my canon to even get released. :) then it dident work right. | 11:44 |

| _viking | multicultural: look at fbi race statistics on crime. look at the ten most wanted in the usa, canada, and the uk. most of them are not caucasian. then look where i live, zimbabwe, where as a white who built the country, i get blamed for all the problems, and then they steal our farms and buisinesses and called it "indiginisation" | 11:52 |
| dpy | I'm trying to open a backed up file containing an aes-256 encrypted ext2 filesystem (it was created years ago using cryptoloop). But now It seems that ubuntu doesn't come with the aes-256 kernel module anymore... Does anyone know an easy route for getting the aes-256 kernel module? (Without compiling my own kernel, please) | 11:52 |

| Gentoo64 | meta-coder, does it have a usb and ethernet port? | 11:54 |
| dpy | Dr_Willis: I was hoping to hear that I just need an extra repo, and apt-get install something | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | dpy: no idea. - ive never really gotten into disk/file encryption. | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | dpy: when in doubt check the forums and askubuntu.com - there maybe some easy work around. | 11:55 |

| Gentoo64 | dno why itd crash the whole sys | 11:58 |
| improveupon | my version of firefox is whatever is in the ubuntu repositories | 11:58 |
| === _vikingSUPERBADL is now known as _vikingLAG | ||
| Dr_Willis | I would wonder if its not a hard drive issue causing FF and the os to trcah... | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | crash.. | 11:58 |
| OerHeks | or memory .. | 11:59 |
| Lasers | improveupon: Use chromium. Firefox is bloated. ;< But don't let that stop you. | 11:59 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | ok i see must be some o the latest then cuz there is like bunch o them (firefox 6 7 and even nightly 8 ) | 11:59 |
| StevenR | Lasers: do you get a device node? what does dmesg show for the usb device? (pastebin the relevant dmesg info please) | 11:59 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | what about opera it works well on linux | 11:59 |
| improveupon | i have already purged firefox, deleted ~/.mozilla, and reinstalled it. note: before i did that it would crash like this as soon as i started firefox. now it takes a while. | 11:59 |

| _vikingLAG | why does the update manager prompt me to install updates when $ apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade says my system is up to date | 12:00 |
| _vikingLAG | ? | 12:00 |
| codemagician | I bought a logitech M305 mouse and its way too sensitive in Ubuntu 11.04.. any suggestions? | 12:00 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, yes, turn the sens down | 12:01 |
| improveupon | also note: windows vista is dual-booting on the same machine and it never crashes | 12:01 |
| Myrtti | _vikingLAG: because upgrade doesn't upgrade all the packages | 12:01 |
| improveupon | except for the usual windows issues | 12:01 |
| Myrtti | _vikingLAG: (necessarily) | 12:01 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, even with it down to near zero its stupid | 12:01 |

| _vikingLAG | Myrtti but when i use both apt and then the update manager, it breaks, packages return errors trying to install | 12:02 |
| ubottu | Jeanbeaudrillard, please see my private message | 12:02 |
| improveupon | it should not be a hard drive issue. i thought it was for a while | 12:02 |
| _vikingLAG | i guess it means just use one or the other? | 12:02 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, nothing apparently changed | 12:02 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | Myrtti, great tx !! | 12:02 |
| Gentoo64 | improveupon, it means nothing. i know people who have had 1% health running without errors for years | 12:02 |
| luite | improveupon: hmm, percentages don't mean much | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | improveupon: windows could be reading from the 'good' parts of the hd.. while linux maybe on a part with failing sectors.. so thats not really proof.. You Could ssh into the box and watch the kernel logs while its running and hope to catch why its crashing. You could test with differnt browsert to try to prove its a ff issue. | 12:02 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | !lol | 12:03 |

| Gentoo64 | _vikingLAG, why not use the gui | 12:03 |
| BluesKaj | _vikingLAG, the update manager isn't reliable in my experience , best to stick with the command line | 12:03 |
| _vikingLAG | Gentoo64 apt gives accurate download speeds and time | 12:03 |

| codemagician | Gentoo64, i chose this mouse as its got a standard laser | 12:10 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, I had trouble with the high dpi ones | 12:10 |
| Onlyodin | or Indicator Applet, that's good too. | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Lasers: theres the ddrescue tool. that mightbe able to recover stuff.. | 12:10 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, but I have a feeling I may have set some settings on this machine a long time ago | 12:11 |
| Lasers | Dr_Willis: Yes. -- but "fdisk -l" does not register it. | 12:11 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, from the command line | 12:11 |
| === max is now known as Guest23570 | ||
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, not sure then. the sens slider set to bottom should be lowest sens for your dpi. you can use xset or xinput to disable the accel completely but that didnt help you either | 12:11 |
| Gentoo64 | so no idea :s | 12:11 |
| StevenR | Lasers: well, you could check it physically. If it's been flexed/bent, then the pins might be able to be resoldered. The most stressed part of a usb stick is where the usb connector joins the circuit board. Unfortunately, this is also the weakest part of most usb sticks | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Lasers: then you mightbe out of luck. You could try tricks like sticking it in the freezer for a hr.... and so on.. :) but this is a usb FLASH or a usb HARD drive? | 12:11 |
| codemagician | its going screwy now also | 12:11 |
| codemagician | the pointer keep jumping | 12:12 |
| theadmin | Lasers: That'd be "sudo fdisk -l" unless you are root. I hope you are aware of that. | 12:12 |
| Lasers | Dr_Willis: USB Flash Drive. | 12:12 |

| panda`` | thanks :) | 12:13 |
| codemagician | it there a way to revert to the standard ubuntu xinput settings for the ouse | 12:13 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, they dont stick | 12:14 |
| Lasers | StevenR: Common Black USB -- SanDisk Cruzer with that annoying U3 crap. It seems to be in excellent shape. No signs of scratches or bent metal. | 12:14 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, unless set mnaually at startup | 12:14 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, the whole mouse behaves jittery and jumpy with super acceleration | 12:15 |
| StevenR | Lasers: can you find a pic online of it? | 12:15 |
| codemagician | but on windows xp its sweet | 12:15 |
| StevenR | Lasers: I've broken a lot of usb sticks apart to do data recovery (one of the "magic" parts of a previous job being a school sysadmin) | 12:16 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, xset m 0 0 and the sens slider to the bottom really should take all the speed and accel off. no idea what else to suggest :s | 12:16 |
| Lasers | StevenR: http://goo.gl/lVUgC -- I'm putting it in a freezer. :3 | 12:16 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, have you got another mouse to try in ubuntu? only thing i can htink of it that its wireless... | 12:17 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, this mouse is wireless. my dell wired mouse works fine. | 12:17 |
| Lasers | codemagician: Mouse Preference? Change that? | 12:17 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, there is another issue. the pointer jumps and reappears on the screen | 12:18 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, then its something with the mouse, not uubntu settings. i reckon its something to do with wireless, its always inferior | 12:18 |
| StevenR | Lasers: putting it in a freezer won't help you. | 12:18 |
| panda`` | hmmm | 12:18 |
| StevenR | Lasers: however, you could open it up. If it's dead, you've nothing to lose. | 12:18 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, you think another person with a wireless mouse? | 12:18 |
| Lasers | StevenR: I'll need permissions to do so. Okay. Supposedly I open it up, what's the next step? Outline them all, please. | 12:19 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, but it works fine on my windows xp | 12:19 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, i cant see why its happening. wireless mosue should work fine.. | 12:19 |
| meta-coder | Where are the C libraries saved in Ubuntu? | 12:19 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, in ubuntu it skips and keeps reappears ten miles left | 12:19 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, are you on 11.04? using classic? | 12:19 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, using 11.04 with gnome desktop | 12:20 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, unity? | 12:20 |
| codemagician | Gentoo64, i switch off unity | 12:20 |
| Gentoo64 | ok i was gona say rule that out | 12:20 |
| Gentoo64 | lol | 12:20 |
| improveupon | if anyone just entering would be interested in hearing about my firefox situation (system detects no hard drive!) and seeing the error messages please say so, and thanks again | 12:20 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, does dmesg say anything regarding the mouse? | 12:20 |
| StevenR | Lasers: basically, the usb connector attaches to the little circuit board with 4 pins. you're looking for signs that those might be damaged, or electrical connectivity lost. You could also try holding it in a usb port at a flexed angle and seeing if that helps. I've re-soldered usb sticks. | 12:22 |

| StevenR | Lasers: but if it's not detected by the system, then your only option is a physical inspection/resolder/holding. If that doesn't work, then the chip is probably dead. | 12:23 |
| theadmin | panda_: Maybe if your window manager has a way to do something like that | 12:23 |
| Gentoo64 | codemagician, couldwell be! | 12:23 |

| DrPenguin | Hello there.. Currently I am running Ubuntu 11.04 64bit, I am trying to get my CPU into a happy running state (govenors all setup and what not) and I notice a few things.. even if I use cpufreq--selector to set C0 to ondemand, it constantly runs at 2.54ghz. Also.. my C3 is highlighted in this way: Avg residency 3.2ms (79.2%) with (frequencies) of 98.1%.. is this a bad thing? | 12:55 |

| anadon | DrPenguin: that model does not change frequency | 13:00 |
| DrPenguin | M 460 actually | 13:00 |
| anadon | you need a intel i7, or 2nd gen i5 or i7 | 13:00 |
| StevenR | anadon: really? my i3 changes frequency | 13:01 |
| anadon | StevenR: : is it 2nd gen? | 13:01 |
| StevenR | anadon: I'm not sure. It was new in January, if that's any guide. | 13:01 |
| anadon | StevenR: its 2nd gen | 13:01 |

| Gentoo64 | yes | 13:08 |
| StevenR | shinsuke: how much RAM? | 13:09 |
| shinsuke | StevenR, 4 gb | 13:09 |

| === pand`` is now known as panda`` | ||
| agustin | hello | 13:10 |
| shinsuke | so i just wondered if my 64 bit cpu caused the absence of the software in synaptic | 13:11 |
| Gentoo64 | shinsuke, ive never used that, what about clonezilla? | 13:11 |
| anadon | How does a package manager scan for other package dependancies? | 13:12 |
| anadon | *dependencies? | 13:12 |
| szal | anadon: define 'other' | 13:12 |
| shinsuke | Gentoo64, i want to save encrypted partitions which is a problem with clonezilla | 13:12 |
| Johnny_Giggles | If I am running a liveCD, or a liveUSB that has no persistent storage allocation, can I nevertheless install programs and use them? (Obviously they will be lost when I shutdown the computer) | 13:12 |
| anadon | other required packages/programs/libraries in order to install and run | 13:12 |
| szal | other in relation to what? | 13:13 |
| StevenR | Johnny_Giggles: no | 13:13 |
| Gentoo64 | szal, in relation to the original package | 13:13 |
| anadon | szal: really? | 13:13 |
| StevenR | Johnny_Giggles: where would the programs install to? Actually, if you have enough ram it might work... time to try it :) | 13:13 |
| carrera | Can anyone tell me why My Toshiba Qosmio x505 keeps hanging with 11.04? It didn't do that with 10.04. | 13:13 |
| Gentoo64 | Johnny_Giggles, they install to ram yes it works | 13:13 |

| * szal doesn't see the use of the word 'other' in that sentence | 13:13 | |
| Johnny_Giggles | StevenR: Well, it installs to RAM | 13:13 |
| Johnny_Giggles | Gentoo64: can you confirm 100% that it works? | 13:14 |
| StevenR | Johnny_Giggles: try it and see? | 13:14 |
| szal | anadon: the package dependencies are listed in the package | 13:14 |
| anadon | carrera: make a bug report | 13:14 |
| abandersnatch | so, is the next ubuntu going to have a regular application list like every other sane interface ever? Or are they going to keep this "touch friendly" stuff? | 13:14 |
| Gentoo64 | Johnny_Giggles, yes. anything that dont require a reboot works | 13:14 |
| anadon | szal: they may not be right. any way to do it dynamically? | 13:14 |
| StevenR | Johnny_Giggles: this assumes you have enough RAM to do that of course. | 13:14 |
| Gentoo64 | Johnny_Giggles, you're already writing stuff to ram as you use the livecd. installing things isnt any different | 13:14 |
| szal | anadon: if they're not right, then file a bug | 13:14 |
| Johnny_Giggles | StevenR: I have 4 gigs | 13:15 |
| anadon | where are they in the source code? | 13:15 |
| carrera | anadon, ok. Thanks! | 13:15 |
| anadon | szal: where are they in the source code? | 13:15 |

| agustin | Can anyoine tell me if under natty I can point to libreoffice ppa onearic to upgrade to 3.4.2? | 13:16 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | libreoffice is really goood | 13:16 |
| abandersnatch | gentoo64: I am well aware of that, but I have received so many complaints from users because of that its unreal. I also get complaints over the fact that they cant run the same application twice | 13:17 |
| michaelxq | i'm having problems with my camera. I know i have to install r5u8xx but i don't know how and where to find it to be exact | 13:17 |
| agustin | will this actionbreak my system? | 13:17 |
| Gentoo64 | abandersnatch, whats the problem? Unity? you can disable that | 13:17 |
| xangua | agustin: mix repositories = bad idea | 13:17 |
| agustin | thanks xangua | 13:17 |
| Gentoo64 | abandersnatch, the side bar thing? in gnome 3 you can hold ctrl and clik apps to open a new instance not sure if works on unity | 13:18 |
| abandersnatch | let me ty | 13:18 |
| Gentoo64 | abandersnatch, when you log in choose classic mode from the dropdown box youll prefer it | 13:18 |
| abandersnatch | nope, doesn't work in unity | 13:19 |
| Gentoo64 | abandersnatch, use classic mode then | 13:19 |
| Gentoo64 | its a bit like 10.10 | 13:19 |
| abandersnatch | no, I do run gnome 2 normally. I just am wondering if they are fixing any of these problems in the next version | 13:19 |
| ktwohig9 | ok got a ? Finally gonna do a real install of Ubuntu instead of my Wubi install. Sony F series I7 laptop - Should I go 32 bit or 64? | 13:19 |
| agustin | I guessed | 13:20 |
| aeplus | ktwo, i would go 64-bit | 13:20 |
| Gentoo64 | abandersnatch, i think they will do. but thats the reaosn a lot of people use classic because unity isnt very good | 13:20 |
| agustin | so, does anyone know when natty's libreoffice repositories will be updated? | 13:21 |

| bazhang | agustin, what version did you need? apart from security issues, they wont | 13:22 |

| Jeanbeaudrillard | never heard o it i use mint but i might test it one day :p | 13:23 |

| Gentoo64 | unity takes up a load of screen space | 13:23 |
| Jeanbeaudrillard | is it based on ubuntu ? | 13:23 |
| Gentoo64 | mint is the same basically | 13:23 |
| Gentoo64 | but with different ui | 13:24 |
| Gentoo64 | and some extra stuff | 13:24 |

| szal | so most current available | 13:42 |

| BluesKaj | nouveau is the default nvidia driver , which provides a usable graphical desktop but without any "desktop effects", no 3D or DR, carrera | 13:46 |
| carrera | BluesKaj, szal, could it be Chromium? Cause everytime my desktop crashed, I had both Firefox and Chromium open and I was switching desktops with | 13:46 |

| Svendbenno | A quick question: How do i enable a GTK+ 3 theme in Ubuntu 11.04(gnome 2 shell)? I've downloaded the elementary theme from their launchpad site and extracted it to /usr/share/themes. The gtk+2 theme works fine, but not the gtk+3 theme :-( | 14:05 |
| xangua | Svendbenno: because 11.04 uses gtk2, no 3 | 14:07 |
| Svendbenno | xangua: So there's no way to make GTK+ 3 apps look 'nice' in 11.04? | 14:08 |
| xangua | Svendbenno: there are no gtk3 apps on 11.04 | 14:09 |
| xangua | if you mean you are using gnome3 ppa, i hope it is on a virtual machine ;) | 14:10 |
| Lucapunk | ciao | 14:11 |

| usr13 | doaN: Is that all it said? | 14:27 |
| compdoc | doaN, you didnt reinstall from scratch? | 14:27 |
| tool_kit | where can i wget perl script? | 14:28 |
| usr13 | doaN: Did you just instll xubuntu-desktop? Or did you download xubuntu and install fresh from a new CD? | 14:29 |
| doaN | yes, used gparted to delete my ubuntu 11.04 system for xubuntu | 14:29 |

| doaN | usb-install | 14:30 |
| karolaug | doaN: boot from cd/usb and update uuid number in /etc/fstab on your root drive | 14:30 |
| doaN | how do i update fstab ? blkid doesn t work | 14:32 |
| usr13 | doaN: That site is old and where it says /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst you need to change that to /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 14:32 |
| usr13 | doaN: or /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg or where ever you mounted it. | 14:32 |
| karolaug | you have to use blkid form root account | 14:33 |
| karolaug | sudo blkid i mean | 14:33 |
| doaN | arf yeah | 14:33 |
| usr13 | karolaug: Does he need to update it in /etc/fstab or in grub.cfg ? | 14:33 |
| doaN | my grub.cfg : http://paste.ubuntu.com/681209/ | 14:33 |
| karolaug | i bleive both | 14:34 |
| doaN | im in dualboot | 14:34 |
| karolaug | you have to update uuid in grub configuration then run update-grub2 | 14:35 |
| usr13 | karolaug: No, probably just in /etc/fstab | 14:35 |
| karolaug | and make sure that you have proper uuid in /etc/fstab, where / drive is mounted | 14:35 |
| usr13 | doaN: So run blkid and see if it is wrong in /etc/fstab | 14:35 |
| karolaug | doaN: yes | 14:35 |
| doaN | k | 14:35 |
| rhsanborn | Running 11.04, I installed sshd and enabled the VNC server.ssh -? | 14:36 |
| karolaug | make sure that your'e checking /etc/fstab on your system drive, not live cd | 14:36 |
| bluecrysmile | ./join #ubuntu-cn | 14:36 |
| usr13 | doaN: Did you try mode de dépannage ? | 14:37 |
| doaN | usr13, i cant see the grub menu | 14:38 |
| doaN | the UUID s match | 14:38 |
| doaN | fstab blkid | 14:38 |
| usr13 | doaN: Oh yea. sorry. | 14:38 |
| Calinou | lol usr13 | 14:38 |
| doaN | karolaug, the UUID s match | 14:38 |
| rhsanborn | Running 11.04, I installed sshd and enabled VNC server. If the client fails (goes to sleep with active ssh or VNC connections) I can't reconnect without rebooting the Ubuntu box for SSH, or manually killing the VNC connection from the Ubuntu box ... which kind of kills the remote access bit | 14:39 |
| karolaug | doaN: so you have to update your grub configuration, i had the same issue when i changed hdd in my pc | 14:39 |
| usr13 | doaN: maybe grub is messed up. | 14:39 |
| usr13 | !grub2 | doaN | 14:39 |

| doaN | I tried this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files | 14:40 |
| karolaug | doaN: i dont remember exacly where it is but you have to update uuid in grub config and then run update-grub (or grub-update, i dont remember) | 14:40 |

| devish | i watched kung fu panda and it was great | 14:41 |
| Antony | hey guys - got a quick problem... | 14:41 |
| panda_ | patholio, audacity | 14:41 |
| Antony | patrunjel: audacity is pretty good for recording - allows you to mess around with it too | 14:41 |
| rhsanborn | usr13, suspend is disabled on the ubuntu box, sometimes you just can't help a client losing connection, would hate to lose all remote access the first time I lose connection remotely. | 14:41 |
| outer_space | I am trying to run "autogen.sh" first I try "./autogen.sh" but it says Permission denied. Then I try "sudo ./autogen.sh" but it says "command not found" | 14:42 |
| devish | patrunjel: why don't you try online services like of skype ,gtalk ect | 14:42 |
| Antony | i'm trying to run a perl script as a different user - i have my pl chmodded 755, yet other users just get permission denied - any ideas? | 14:43 |
| patrunjel | devish, because I need another person to chat with, and I don't know anyone that uses skype, etc (just yahoo.. ) | 14:43 |
| Antony | patrunjel: skype has a SkypeTestCall that records then replays to you | 14:43 |
| devish | patrunjel: thats the fun u can record that listen youself | 14:43 |
| patrunjel | Nevermind, audacity is good enough, thanks guys :D | 14:44 |

| Antony | store is 755 - antweb is 700 (afaik) | 15:02 |
| Antony | so i guess it cannot get to it.. but i thought the 755 would override that? | 15:03 |
| Antony | ah it is 750 | 15:03 |
| Antony | (antweb is 750, store is 755) | 15:03 |
| tensorpudding | 750 should be good enough if they are in the same group as the home directory | 15:03 |

| Konata | x3qt0r, is there a RDP running on the destination | 15:25 |
| dude | pill yeah it is | 15:26 |
| Antony | Pilif12p: yes - create a new wireless network and connect to it. | 15:26 |
| Pilif12p | er, when it's connected to a wireless network | 15:26 |
| x3qt0r | I am pretty much of a newbie when it comes to remote desktop | 15:26 |
| Antony | (note you can only connect to one wireless network per wifi card) | 15:26 |
| Konata | x3qt0r: What OS is the machine you want to connect to running | 15:26 |
| Pilif12p | i know you can when it's wired | 15:26 |
| Antony | then no.. | 15:26 |
| x3qt0r | windows 7 | 15:26 |

| dude | is someomne into ubuntu-studio? | 15:27 |
| Antony | there maybe some magic you can do in permisqious mode... | 15:27 |
| Konata | On the left, there's a link to the effect of "Advanced Options" or something... | 15:27 |
| Konata | From there, click the remote tab | 15:27 |
| x3qt0r | and check those two boxes? | 15:28 |
| Konata | There should only be one box | 15:28 |
| Konata | "Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer" | 15:28 |
| x3qt0r | Yea i think thats checked | 15:29 |
| x3qt0r | Yes | 15:29 |
| x3qt0r | It is | 15:29 |
| Konata | x3qt0r, do you know the LAN IP of your windows machine? | 15:29 |
| n2i | "Natty/11.04 is out!" What does it mean? | 15:29 |
| Frots | hi / | 15:29 |
| Konata | n2i: That means you can update to the release with apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:29 |
| x3qt0r | LAN ip is same as IP address right? | 15:29 |
| x3qt0r | and its not my machine | 15:30 |
| x3qt0r | its my friends machine | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | n2i: It gets changed the second the next release is out. | 15:30 |
| Konata | x3qt0r, is it on the same network as your ubuntu machien? | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | n2i: It is officially stable and ready to use | 15:30 |
| Konata | *machine | 15:30 |
| x3qt0r | No | 15:30 |
| x3qt0r | its in a different part of the city | 15:30 |
| Konata | x3qt0r, then the problem is absolutely ports | 15:30 |
| x3qt0r | so how do I solve it | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | x3qt0r: then you need him/her to go to www.ipchicken.com to get the WAN IP and connect to that | 15:30 |
| Frots | how is everyone | 15:30 |
| n2i | Konata: but, I think 11.04 is not released yet | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Frots: full of fryup :) | 15:31 |
| Konata | n2i: it is | 15:31 |
| martin__29 | hi | 15:31 |
| Frots | x3qt0r: whaqt are you trying to solve? | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !download | n2i: | 15:31 |
| martin__29 | I have recently been doing some remote port forwards with putty, but sometimes the connection fails for a variety of reasons. is there any sort of service that will do ssh and port forwarding and reconnect if the connection is lost? | 15:31 |
| ubottu | n2i:: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Natty, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 15:31 |
| Konata | 11.10 is the next release and it's still in beta | 15:31 |
| Konata | Frots: A connection timeout issue with connecting to a machine through RDP | 15:31 |
| x3qt0r | I made them go to " what is my ip" | 15:31 |
| x3qt0r | and got their IP address | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | n2i: 11.04 is released in the 4th month or 20(11) this is in the past | 15:31 |
| Frots | ok | 15:31 |
| x3qt0r | then tried to connect via terminal server client | 15:31 |
| Frots | did they forward 3389 to their machine? | 15:31 |
| x3qt0r | using RDPv5 | 15:31 |
| x3qt0r | no | 15:32 |
| Frots | have you tried ruinning an nmap portscan? | 15:32 |
| x3qt0r | I dunno what that means | 15:32 |
| x3qt0r | No | 15:32 |
| x3qt0r | I am a noobs to all this | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | x3qt0r: same deal, they will need to setup port forwarding in the router to allow your connection through. If you are wanting to use VNC then use an SSH tunnel as VNC has zero security | 15:32 |
| n2i | sorry, I have taken a misstake :( | 15:32 |
| Frots | mstsc uses port 3389 by default | 15:32 |
| Frots | x3qt0r: for a n00b you have a cool nickname :) | 15:32 |
| n2i | I mean 11.10 is not released yet. | 15:32 |
| x3qt0r | lol | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | n2i: it's cool dude, that's how it's easy to know when releases are out, as well as when they are EOL | 15:32 |
| x3qt0r | ty | 15:32 |
| Frots | but if the port 3389 is not open, it will not work | 15:33 |
| Frots | apt-get install nmap | 15:33 |
| Konata | tensorpudding, if you're still there | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | n2i: yes, it's out in the 10th month of 20(11). Hence 11.10 ;) | 15:33 |
| Frots | and run nmap -P0 destination-IP | 15:33 |
| Konata | Any idea on a fix for this? I'd hate to have to reinstall a system I just installed last night | 15:33 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: i was doing some digging on gnome's bugtracker for a bug on your issue, but i couldn't find one | 15:33 |
| x3qt0r | I think I have had nmap installed long back | 15:33 |
| x3qt0r | for something else | 15:33 |
| Konata | tensorpudding, I found an ubuntuforums link | 15:33 |
| x3qt0r | okay wait | 15:33 |

| tensorpudding | Konata: dbus is running them | 15:39 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: try seeing if glib is installed | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | improveupon: if you create a fresh firefox profile, is it ok? | 15:40 |
| Konata | glib is definitely installed because I compiled and installed it from suorce last night | 15:40 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: in lucid, there is no dbus-1 package, by the way | 15:40 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: that thread indicates that glib is causing nautilus problems | 15:41 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: try removing it | 15:41 |
| Konata | Removing glib? | 15:41 |
| Konata | Ok | 15:41 |
| improveupon | ActionParsnip: no | 15:41 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: see if that fixes it | 15:41 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: why were you compiling xchat, anyway? | 15:41 |
| alopexx | test | 15:41 |
| Konata | tensorpudding, well, because I can | 15:41 |
| tensorpudding | xchat is available as a package, though | 15:41 |
| Konata | Yes, I know. | 15:41 |

| ItsPriyank | Hi all. I have been using ubuntu 10.10 for almost 6 moths and now want to shift to KUbuntu....what you guys suggest for KDE? | 15:42 |
| tensorpudding | hmm | 15:42 |
| tensorpudding | well, xchat requires glib | 15:42 |
| tensorpudding | if there is some unfixed bug involving nautilus and glib, that would be unfortunate | 15:42 |
| Konata | Oh, here's a new one | 15:42 |
| Konata | I can't remove glib | 15:42 |
| xangua | ItsPriyank: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 15:42 |
| Konata | what's the name of the package? | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | improveupon: try updating java, there is a 23 version available | 15:43 |
| ItsPriyank | xangua: so will it upgrade my gnome to kde | 15:43 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: libglib-2.0 i think | 15:43 |
| xangua | ItsPriyank: aaah...kde is not gnome's upgrade :S | 15:43 |
| improveupon | ActionParsnip: thank you | 15:43 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: libglib-2.0-0 | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ltspriyank: it will install both, you choose the DE at login | 15:43 |
| ItsPriyank | xangua: sorry change it to kde | 15:44 |
| Konata | tensorpudding, got that through apt-cache search glib|grep glib | 15:44 |
| ActionParsnip | improveupon: try a different browser too to test | 15:44 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: found the LP bugreport on your bug | 15:44 |
| xangua | ItsPriyank: it will install kde desktop, if you want to remove gnome you can do it later | 15:44 |
| ItsPriyank | oh thats really great | 15:44 |
| Konata | tensorpudding, I can't uninstall glib without breaking it | 15:44 |
| ItsPriyank | xangua: oh thats really great | 15:44 |
| Konata | After this operation, 1,888MB disk space will be freed. | 15:44 |

| Konata | you mean a file explorer | 15:45 |

| ItsPriyank | I don't want to break irc rules or start any arguments....but is it worth installing KDE? | 15:45 |
| coz_ | Konata, ok doe that work ? | 15:45 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: well, first, did you install it to /usr/local or not? | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | improveupon: then it's java from what the error says, check the web for forums mentioning the same error | 15:45 |
| Konata | tensorpudding, more than likely | 15:45 |
| Konata | I just followed ./configure && make && make install | 15:46 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: okay, so did you put anything in /usr/local besides glib? | 15:46 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: if so, just nuke everything in /usr/local | 15:46 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: compiling software from source can cause conflicts with other software in your system; it's not usually a good idea if you don't know how it affects the software you have installed | 15:47 |
| ItsPriyank | Is KDE better than GNOME | 15:47 |
| improveupon | ActionParsnip: thanks again | 15:47 |
| coz_ | ItsPriyank, not really,,, they are different | 15:47 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: in all likelihood you *already* had a glib installed, and when you installed a second one it caused everything to go haywire | 15:47 |
| ItsPriyank | coz_: okay | 15:47 |
| Konata | tensorpudding, Which folder in /usr/local do i nuke | 15:48 |
| oCean | ItsPriyank: it's a matter of personal taste, mostly. But this channel is not for polls | 15:48 |
| coz_ | ItsPriyank, you have to try them to see which fits with your work habits and the kind of control you want over the system | 15:48 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: just delete everything there, unless there is anything you put in /usr/local you want to save | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ItsPriyank: both are great, there is no single best solution for anything | 15:48 |
| ItsPriyank | i have though used fedora 15 kde.... oCean sorry. coz_ thanks | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ItsPriyank: its good to try both though, there is also LXDE and XFCE as well as many other desktops :) | 15:49 |
| ItsPriyank | ActionParsnip: yeah i guess so...i'm gonna try out both now | 15:49 |

| Siegel- | hi need help. i installed the sims 3 through playonlinux. its installed and it appears in the list. i click on the icon, or i highlight it and click "operate" and nothing happens. like, the computer thinks, but then it stops and it wont open at all. | 15:59 |
| computerx | read filenames from stdin* | 15:59 |
| Siegel- | can you guess why? | 15:59 |
| kristianpaul | I got a netboot for my mother and with gnome3 (from other distro), the assitant was too big to fit on the screen.. :( | 16:00 |
| computerx | Siegel-: Yes, have you checked the wine appdb (google wine appdb sims 3) | 16:00 |
| urlin2u | UbuN2, what do you mean installing in chroot, the grun to the mbr? | 16:00 |
| Siegel- | computerx: where do i do that? | 16:00 |
| urlin2u | grub* | 16:00 |
| kristianpaul | evolution assistant* | 16:00 |
| Konata | Oh, tensorpudding, why is the official source 2.8.8 (xchat) but the repos 2.8.6? | 16:00 |
| UbuN2 | gentoo | 16:00 |
| UbuN2 | im install in it from /mnt/gentoo | 16:01 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: because ubuntu packages are kept at a particular version, this is called a package freeze | 16:01 |
| UbuN2 | and now its all installed ubuntu is seeing it when i do update-grub | 16:01 |
| Siegel- | computerx: is that the command i need to type into terminal? but how do i know which one? | 16:01 |
| computerx | Siegel-: Well, in Google... The wine appdb is the best place to check for compatability issues | 16:01 |
| scarleo | is it possible to make a general fstab mount like /home/%u /sftp/chroot/%u (bind mount) and it will mount all users directory respectively? | 16:02 |
| klingelbart | do you know, how i can make my laptop execute a commend when coming back from stand-by mode? | 16:02 |
| Konata | tensorpudding, there's no chance that a precompiled binary of 2.8.8 would be available somewhere, would there? | 16:02 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: it allows you to avoid software version problems, because all the packages are tested and known to work together | 16:02 |
| === max is now known as Guest23644 | ||
| UbuN2 | says FOUND all my operating system but grub.cfg isnt registering it | 16:02 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: this problem has been somewhat dealt with by using PPAs | 16:02 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: you can build a package for a newer version of xchat | 16:02 |
| === ajf|offline is now known as ajf | ||
| klingelbart | do you know, how i can make my laptop execute a command when coming back from stand-by mode? | 16:03 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: the ubuntu launchpad hosts PPAs, which are personal package archives; they host customized packages | 16:03 |
| urlin2u | UbuN2, you whole description at least to me is rather confusing. | 16:03 |
| UbuN2 | windows is working fine but it will not see the other operating system | 16:03 |
| UbuN2 | why confusing | 16:03 |
| Siegel- | computerx: how do i know which one is compatible? i have the latest version | 16:04 |
| Siegel- | computerx: is it natty? | 16:04 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: since you're using 10.04, the versions of software in packages are all from early 2010 | 16:04 |
| urlin2u | UbuN2, that is for you to figure out to be honest. | 16:04 |
| UbuN2 | it says found the system but is not storing it in grub.cfg | 16:04 |
| computerx | Siegel-: It's got more to do with the version of wine | 16:04 |
| UbuN2 | ok | 16:04 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: for instance, you'll be using firefox 3, whereas firefox 5 is current at present | 16:04 |
| computerx | Siegel-: Run "Configure Wine" and click on the about tab to find which version you have | 16:05 |
| qin | klingelbart: By "stand by" you mean user inactivity? | 16:05 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: the software updates you install are only to fix bugs and security issues | 16:05 |
| klingelbart | qin: when I'm inactive, my laptop deactivates the monitor and some other functions. this mode is the stand-by mode | 16:05 |
| Siegel- | computerx: ooh you mean the version i have might not be compatible with the game? | 16:05 |
| computerx | Siegel-: Yes | 16:06 |
| Siegel- | computerx: where do i run configure wine? i dont see it | 16:06 |
| urlin2u | UbuN2, we have a bootscript that is helpful at times, this at the least will tell us what is there and what might be missing, pastebin the RESULTS.txt http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 16:07 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: do you think when running memtest, it will show on the external screen? the laptop has a dead screen, i was lucky to get it boot from usb :p | 16:07 |
| klingelbart | qin: do you have an idea? | 16:07 |
| computerx | Siegel-: In Unity, search for it. In Gnome, Applications | Wine | Configure Wine. | 16:07 |
| tensorpudding | Konata: but there is no PPA for xchat available | 16:07 |
| Siegel- | computerx: i have wine 1.2.2 | 16:07 |
| computerx | Siegel-: Have you read the AppDB entry for your game? | 16:07 |
| damno | tensorpudding: its in the repo. | 16:07 |
| qin | klingelbart: Propably, yes, that would be power manager area, you can add scripts to pm, moment | 16:07 |
| Siegel- | computerx: i read on some website it should be wine 1.3.23 | 16:08 |
| UbuN2 | ok i will try thanks | 16:08 |
| Siegel- | computerx: so how do i install that wine and get rid of the one i have? | 16:08 |
| computerx | Siegel-: As in, that's the latest version, or the version that will run your game properly? | 16:08 |
| tensorpudding | damno: of course, but he wanted to know if there were a newer version available | 16:08 |
| === Datz_ is now known as Datz | ||
| Siegel- | computerx: i think the version that will run it properly | 16:09 |
| qin | klingelbart: You would start there: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement | 16:09 |
| maxflax | Any experts in MBR? Think I've might have broken mine :p | 16:09 |
| Siegel- | computerx: because also while installing the sims 3 it tried to install 1.3.23 but that installation failed. i proceeded to install the sims anyway. so i guess it WAS necessary. how do i do that now | 16:09 |
| urlin2u | maxflax, what's the symptoms? | 16:09 |
| computerx | Siegel-: I have Wine 1.3.26 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | bindi: not sure dude, maybe there is a BIOS option to set stuff, or a keyboard shortcut to switch it | 16:10 |
| maxflax | urlin2u: Non bootable, just black screen and blinking cursor | 16:10 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: nope, the keyboard shortcut is purely software | 16:10 |
| Siegel- | computerx: ok, ill look for it there. computerx will i have to reinstall the sims, or just try to run it on this version of wine? | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | maxflax: you can use the LiveCD to reinstate the MBR easily | 16:10 |
| computerx | Siegel-: You shouldn't need to uninstall it | 16:10 |
| klingelbart | qin: thank you | 16:10 |
| urlin2u | maxflax, fresh install? Or did you install a boot default app? | 16:10 |
| klingelbart | qin: i'll read it | 16:11 |
| d_atharva | hi...how can I share my mobile broadband ? | 16:11 |
| Siegel- | computerx: ok, just run it on this version. now that my computer will have two versions of wine how will it deal with it? how can i delete the other version? | 16:11 |
| damno | tensorpudding: the development is probably dead | 16:11 |
| maxflax | urlin2u: Was trying to install ubuntu on my macbook air - after install it don't boot -- | 16:11 |
| damno | tensorpudding: the latest release was on may 30, 2010 | 16:12 |
| tensorpudding | damno: it might be dead now, but the version upstream is newer than in LTS | 16:12 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: ubuntu has memtest .. but I don't remember seeing the menu on my external monitor, only after the OS started loading.. | 16:12 |
| maxflax | urlin2u: Well Mac OS boots but not the emulated BIOS thingy | 16:12 |
| computerx | Siegel-: They should conflict, and the software centre *should* upgrade. You won't have two copies. If it doesn't work as you expect, uninstall the current one | 16:12 |
| urlin2u | maxflax, not sure there with mac installs, sorry. | 16:12 |
| Siegel- | computerx: al right | 16:12 |
| Siegel- | thanks | 16:12 |
| Siegel- | computerx: hope it works | 16:12 |
| maxflax | urlin2u: must have selected wrong disk to install the boot sector on i guess.. don't know how to fix it thou | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | bindi: hmm, not sure then. You could take out the drive, put it in another system and install then transfer back | 16:13 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: I actually tried that | 16:13 |
| bindi | I don't know if it was messed up boot order, or something else going wrong | 16:13 |
| bindi | just wouldnt boot | 16:13 |
| maxflax | ActionParsnip: it doesn't boot my install disk anymore.. had a USB disk to boot from.. now it only gets black screen and blinking cursor | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | bindi: try setting BIOS to failsafe options, may help | 16:14 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: I tried that too :p | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | maxflax: what GPU do you use? | 16:14 |
| maxflax | ActionParsnip: it's a Nvidia | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | maxflax: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 16:14 |
| maxflax | ActionParsnip: problem is that I don't even get that far so I can adjust the boot options | 16:15 |
| Siegel- | computerx: so how come i had an older version of wine installed? | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | maxflax: you do, you just need to know how | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | maxflax: grub is on the CD, which then loads the OS. | 16:19 |
| Siegel- | computerx: it wont let me install the new version, it says i need to remove the old files first. how do i do that? | 16:19 |
| bindi | ActionParsnip: i'm running memtester on the amount of free I had.. 190M <.< nothing so far | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | maxflax just use the boot option I gave | 16:19 |
| ubottu | maxflax just use the boot option I gave: 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.

| urlin2u | man567, what is your native language? | 16:21 |

| ActionParsnip | vooze: emphasis on WILL | 16:22 |
| urlin2u | BarkingFish, cool can you direct them. | 16:22 |
| vooze | ActionParsnip: not really complaining about issues? :D just asking if someone have a solution | 16:22 |
| qin | Siegel-: Or: dpkg -l wine, and if negative: locate wine | 16:22 |
| BarkingFish | he's left, urlin2u - but if I can get a message from ubottu, I'll see if I can add it to his interface | 16:22 |
| BarkingFish | I don't think we have a malay language channel | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | vooze: #ubuntu+1 is where Oneiric is supported for now, the guys in there will advise | 16:23 |
| urlin2u | BarkingFish, not sure myself. | 16:23 |
| maxflax | ubottu: ActionParsnip: Did the nomodeset when booting the live cd to do the install.. now I don't even get so far so I can do that change.. | 16:23 |

| qin | Siegel-: Right, you might want to check (or redownload) package form wine site and check fot uninstall script of procedure. | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rhsanborn: is it a desktop OS? | 16:25 |
| rhsanborn | Yes | 16:25 |

| ActionParsnip | rhsanborn: what power and screensaver options do you have set? | 16:25 |
| Siegel- | i just want to uninstall something | 16:25 |
| Siegel- | why is that so difficult | 16:26 |
| rhsanborn | ActionParsnip: Screen saver turns on after ~ 5 minutes, but all the power settings are disabled. | 16:26 |
| qin | Siegel-: Well, normally it would be limited to: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine | 16:26 |

| qmr | misaq: look in dmesg for the error ... or try manually mounting it ... sudo mount /windows and see what it says | 16:37 |

| usr13 | What is the package name for Remote Desktop Viewer ? | 17:02 |
| theabyssdragon | mordof: I'm still using gnome 2.32.1, I like the look of unity but not the lack of contol. so I'll probably be sticking with gnome or xfce | 17:03 |

| ActionParsnip | usr13: vinagre | 17:03 |
| Siegel- | qin where do i type that line? | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | gumus: what is the make and model of the laptop please | 17:03 |
| mordof | aaas: mainly - it ruins the desktop background app I made | 17:03 |
| qin | Siegel-: wine --version | 17:03 |
| usr13 | tnx | 17:03 |
| aaas | mordof: but you can just go to "ubuntu classic" at the login screen for it to work correctly? | 17:03 |
| qin | Siegel-: All in terminal, forgot that you have mouse. | 17:03 |
| mordof | aaas: the bugs it initially had while I used it are taken care of.. but the app I have that i've pinned to my secondary monitor background gets overlapped | 17:03 |
| gumus | ActionParsnip: oh it was one of the testers put out from factory. So it just says Style-Note | 17:04 |
| Siegel- | qin i typed it in termnial | 17:04 |
| Siegel- | nothing happened | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: if you are intending VNC over WWW, use an SSH tunnel | 17:04 |
| gumus | ActionParsnip: I guess we r looking for a way to identify the camera right ? | 17:04 |
| mordof | aaas: yes.. but as mentioned originally, Unity2D is due to push Ubuuntu Classic out of existance at some point | 17:04 |
| Siegel- | qin how do i open wine now? | 17:04 |
| computerx | qin: I got him checking it in Configure Wine | 17:04 |
| aaas | mordof ah, what does your app do? | 17:04 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Good advise, and I will, (just working in the LAN now though). | 17:05 |
| qin | Siegel-: cd ~ and after it cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ | 17:05 |
| mordof | aaas: it's a local webapp. my snippets, google calendar, some RSS feeds, a notes app, my TODO list on projects.. etc | 17:05 |

| mordof | aaas: it's a webapp - HTML/JS/CSS/PHP, etc | 17:06 |
| Siegel- | qin i really dont understand where i type that | 17:06 |
| aaas | mordof launched with firefox? | 17:06 |
| qin | Siegel-: In terminal: cd ~ | 17:06 |
| Siegel- | what | 17:06 |
| ActionParsnip | gumus: what is the output of: sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit; clear; sudo dmidecode --type system | pastebinit | 17:07 |
| Siegel- | now its saying i need 1.3.4 | 17:07 |
| mordof | aaas: yes - launched in a second profile in firefox dedicated to that so that the toolbars and everything are taken out, it's always fullscreen - and devilspie removes it from task managers, etc | 17:07 |
| gumus | ActionParsnip: doing right now | 17:07 |
| mordof | aaas: my launchers for firefox force the default profile so as to avoid conflicts | 17:07 |
| qmr | Sound works in a guest session, it doesn't work in my login | 17:07 |
| qmr | WHY !! | 17:07 |

| ActionParsnip | qmr: what groups are both in? | 17:08 |
| Siegel- | pwd also says nothing | 17:08 |
| mordof | aaas: since you can register protocols in firefox to handle different things - i made a bash script to accept arguments and run programs, this way i can make links like app://gedit?<command line properties here> | 17:08 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: ok then it's a CLEVO M5x0G | 17:08 |
| qmr | that's not relevant ActionParsnip, sound worked before the recent crash | 17:08 |
| Siegel- | how do i open wine? i dont get it. its in the menu but no icon for just opening the program | 17:09 |

| gumus | ActionParsnip: it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/681283/ | 17:09 |
| mordof | aaas: Unity is more of an inconvenience than anything, since it interferes with the way that's all set up in terms of the window manager, positioning, etc. | 17:09 |
| aaas | mordof: wow, you might find once you go that far you might have to switch to another language | 17:09 |
| qmr | ActionParsnip: yes, I did say that. | 17:10 |
| mordof | aaas: nope - what i'm doing is entirely capable of fully integrating with the system | 17:10 |

| ActionParsnip | qmr: I can't see it in all the text you have typed. | 17:10 |
| gumus | ActionParsnip: so? | 17:10 |
| mordof | aaas: PHP can launch command lines and pass results to JS, which parses and responds - and can launch GUI apps as a result in seperate processes | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 17:10 |
| aaas | mordof: so its like one of those system info background-thingies? | 17:10 |

| MeirD | "An application wants access to the private key , but it is locked" | 17:11 |
| mordof | aaas: once I get around to it I'll be replacing all of my menus / task lists, etc.. with it so that it encorporates my entire background on all monitors | 17:11 |
| MeirD | Why does it happen? | 17:11 |
| the_owl | hello | 17:12 |
| mordof | aaas: it'd be more of a media manager than a regular file system browser | 17:12 |
| Siegel- | qin i typed "pwd" | 17:12 |
| mordof | aaas: merges different sections into one, so i'd have things like "music", "movies", "web projects" etc | 17:12 |

| Siegel- | which is what im using now to install it | 17:22 |
| Siegel- | which is part of wine, sint it | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: then all I can suggest: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse then wait 5 seconds and try a sound app. It will reset the pulse settings to vanilla | 17:23 |
| qin | Siegel-: Ok. well you shuld have menu entry for sims after install. | 17:23 |
| Siegel- | qin because i cant seem to find a way to just open wine. but when i type "playonlinux" in terminal it opens up | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: ~/.pule* sorry | 17:23 |
| urlin2u | fbdystang, some channels require registration to freenode maybe that is the problem. | 17:23 |
| Siegel- | qin yes thats what i had before as well but when i clicked on it, a small tab would open saying "opening sims 3" and then it would disappear. as if it couldnt open | 17:23 |
| abhi01 | it is at garbage does it mean it wont work? | 17:23 |
| tetsuo-- | hello, i have a couple of deskop users on my system. but for some reason their accounts do not see the attached usb drive, how can i fix this? | 17:24 |
| qin | Siegel-: I think it is winecfg, but "wine /path/file.exe" start programs. | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | abhi01: yes, click the link and it will tell you what does and doesn't work | 17:24 |
| fbdystang | urlin2u: how do I know if I am registered? I assumed so since it recognizes me as fbdystang | 17:24 |
| Siegel- | qin what is winecfg? | 17:24 |
| Siegel- | ooh to open it | 17:24 |
| abhi01 | ahh ok | 17:24 |
| qmr | I might just have to delete my profile and logout and login | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | abhi01: could see if there is a native linux client | 17:25 |
| Siegel- | qin but in wine /path/file.exe i should replace "file" with the file name, right? | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: its not all of your profile though is it. Try not to be a complete drama queen | 17:25 |
| qin | Siegel-: Rightto! | 17:25 |
| Phong_ | ActionParsnip, take a look : http://tinypic.com/r/x2neop/7 | 17:25 |

| Siegel- | qin another question, if this all works. will i have to run the sims cd every time i want to play? i guess so | 17:25 |
| urlin2u | fbdystang, you have to register a nic to be registered. http://www.wikihow.com/Register-a-User-Name-on-Freenode | 17:25 |
| qmr | a) whatever. b) I'm talking about dotfiles | 17:25 |

| Phong_ | ActionParsnip, am i being punished? | 17:27 |
| qin | Siegel-: Well, dunno, never played sims, but (if you have enought space on hard drive) it is easy to go around it. | 17:27 |

| Siegel- | qin, not its not a problem to use the cd. just wondering if its necessary. i mean, its here. i can use it. but my question as well, how will i find out the file name? like right click the opening file and look in properties? | 17:27 |
| america | hola | 17:28 |
| fbdystang | urlin2u: thanks, I appreciate it. I will try it | 17:28 |
| dexter__ | Hi can someone please help me? | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Phong_: have you tested your RAM using memtest on the liveCD? | 17:28 |
| qin | Siegel-: It depens of "security" features of game itself. | 17:28 |
| Siegel- | i see | 17:28 |
| urlin2u | fbdystang, you can get your IP cloaked as well after a little while. | 17:28 |
| Siegel- | so i might not be able to find out the file name and thus not run in through wine | 17:28 |
| qin | !ask | dexter__ | 17:28 |
| ubottu | dexter__: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:28 |

| hallman | Anyone know why xorg sucks up 25-100% of my cpu? Seems to be a common problem, yet the many suggested solutions doesn't seem to work for me. | 17:30 |
| fbdystang | who is urlin2u | 17:30 |
| hallman | I've also looked through the ubuntu wiki on X troubleshooting, HighCPU in particular.. I find it hard to believe that it's a client application. It's not software rasterizing. I've tried various drivers. Logs seem fine. | 17:30 |
| qin | Siegel-: check menu... | 17:30 |
| xangua | dexter__: errored¿ :S i just understand plain english | 17:30 |
| Siegel- | qin now its asking how much memory my graphics board has. how can i find that out? | 17:30 |

| ActionParsnip | hallman: what video chip do you use? | 17:31 |
| qin | Siegel-: lspci | 17:31 |
| Siegel- | qin do i type that in terminal? | 17:31 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: I got an Nvidia 8800GT card | 17:31 |
| qin | Siegel-: always | 17:31 |
| fbdystang | urlin2u: how do I execute a who is? | 17:31 |
| urlin2u | fbdystang, not sur of the who is actually I righ click the users in xchat | 17:31 |
| ActionParsnip | hallman: have you installed the nvidia proprietary driver? | 17:31 |
| urlin2u | !whois | 17:31 |
| Siegel- | qin i got lots of lines, which one is relevant? | 17:31 |
| qmr | bah, deleted all my dotfiles and logged out/in, I have sound again | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: did the command I gave, work? | 17:32 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: I've tried a few different ones.. I think the proprietary drivers were the original ones? I'll check | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: cool :) | 17:32 |
| qin | xangua: Why your question mark is flipped? | 17:32 |
| qmr | ActionParsnip: I said three times I wasn't going to do that | 17:32 |
| qin | Siegel-: VGA | 17:32 |
| Siegel- | qin oh i have 1024. it said i have to have at least 256 | 17:32 |
| xangua | qin latin american keyboard | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: you only needed to remove ~/.pulse* the other files have no reference to sound | 17:32 |
| qmr | "here install all this junk and see if it fixes your computer" | 17:32 |
| qin | xangua: ok, thx | 17:32 |
| tjiggi_fo | fbdystang, put a / in front of whois like /whois <nick> | 17:32 |
| qmr | ActionParsnip: no, because I removed ~/.pulse* several times, that didn't fix it | 17:33 |
| qmr | it was somewhere else. no idea where | 17:33 |
| qin | Siegel-: Yes | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: the second command was different. I know you didn't want to use the big command I gave | 17:33 |
| Siegel- | qin ok again nothing happens when i click on the icon | 17:33 |
| qmr | oh sorry, I didn't see a second. I've been dtaching and reattaching my irc screen | 17:33 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: right now I got in my xorg.conf under Section "Device", Driver "nvidia".. so that's the proprietary ones, yes? Package installed, nvidia-173 I believe | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: you got the gold, you can restore your settings folders from backup to restore settings easily | 17:33 |
| qmr | I should have just mv'd things though.. oops. now I have to fix up firefox again for work | 17:33 |
| qin | Siegel-: cd .wine && find . -name *.exe | 17:34 |
| qin | Siegel-: look for sims | 17:34 |

| fbdystang | urlin2u: tjiggi_fo: I try typing "/whois urlin2u" into this terminal bar and nothing happens. What gives? | 17:35 |
| Siegel- | qin ok it just worked for a second btw | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dsa_: history | less | 17:35 |

| Siegel- | thanks for the help | 17:36 |
| tjiggi_fo | fbdystang, see the reply in freenode | 17:36 |
| improveupon | ActionParsnip: it appears that if i use another browser, the system does not crash | 17:36 |
| ActionParsnip | improveupon: sounds about right :) | 17:36 |
| urlin2u | fbdystang, I am not familiar with doing a who is other the right clicking a users name in xchat and looking that way | 17:36 |
| qin | hehe, totaly off-topic: "Unity is so awesome" by regular M$ hardhead. | 17:36 |
| urlin2u | fbdystang, basically the free cloak says unaffiliated | 17:37 |
| improveupon | ActionParsnip: so it is just that firefox was hogging memory? but it was not doing that before. for a long time i used it for days at a time and it was ok. | 17:37 |
| fbdystang | tjiggi_fo: if I type /whois tjiggi_fo i get no reply | 17:37 |
| loculinux | hey | 17:37 |
| fbdystang | urlin2u: ah ok, now I see | 17:37 |
| loculinux | I need help | 17:37 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/73gBvRGr .. what if I install nvidia-current instead maybe? Anything I should think of to make sure it gets used rather than the old nvidia-173? | 17:37 |
| urlin2u | loculinux, what's the problem? | 17:37 |
| tjiggi_fo | fbdystang, see the reply in the freenode channel, it won't print in the channel you're in | 17:38 |
| pr0zoid | How can i remotely image by ubuntu-server. I want to take a full backup of my remote server (all i have is command line interface). | 17:38 |
| andygraybeal | i have a general computer quetsion, maybe you could direct me to the best channel - i have a two dsl modems that run off of a UPS. Should I bother trying to control the UPS remotely with a computer? or should i just let it run till it shuts itself off? | 17:39 |
| edbian | pr0zoid: Do you have somewhere to store all that date? (you can use scp or rsync to compress it all and put it somewhere) | 17:39 |
| fbdystang | tjiggi_fo: ahhhhh, hehe, I have never seen that before, thanks! Good to know for registering with freenode | 17:39 |
| mongy | pr0zoid, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 | 17:39 |
| urlin2u | fbdystang, it helps to register than we sort of recognze each other if needed. | 17:40 |
| aaas | pr0zoid as always it depends on what you want to do...did you wnat a server IMAGE so that you can restore it or do you just want to backup? | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | improveupon: again, sounds about right | 17:40 |
| RussellAlan | Does anyone have some time to help with specific bootloader problems? Grub 2 specific.... | 17:41 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: sure, what's the issue? | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | hallman: you may want to add the resolution you use in the screen section in the display subsection | 17:42 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: I'll do that. You think it might speed things up..? | 17:42 |
| RussellAlan | 1. I loaded live CD with /sda1 as Win7 .... then I had Ubuntu as /sda3 , with swap at /sda4 ... did I mess up when I specified the bootloader to be /sda3 ? | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | improveupon: I don't use firefox these days, maybe others can advise. I think it's an appauling browser | 17:42 |
| RussellAlan | edbian: because I get no grub2 interface even with Shift held down | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | hallman: does nvidia-settings show an error when you run it? | 17:43 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: no | 17:43 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: Can you elaborate what you mean by 'specified the boot loader' ? The grub (the bootloader) is actually installed to a hdd, not a partition. However some parts of it do sit on a partition (/boot usually in the root partition) you typically don't specify this in the ubuntu install. | 17:43 |
| improveupon | ActionParsnip: well, thanks again | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | hallman: ok then run: gksudo nvidia-settings setup the display (even set the refresh rate) and then click "Save to X config file" may help | 17:44 |
| RussellAlan | edbian: okay heres how my tables look | 17:44 |

| bennis | hey, can i install full on login screen themes? i have a CIA thing for a friend and am unsure how to install it. I tried ubuntu tweak but that's just the logo and background. | 17:44 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: ok, (all on one line please) | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | bennis: that's all you can change in GDM | 17:45 |
| RussellAlan | edbian: /dev/sda2 (!) ntfs 193gb .. unallocated .. /dev/sda4 (key) linux-swap 1.95mb ... /dev/sda3 ext2 19;.61 | 17:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bennis: lightdm is a bit more themable | 17:45 |
| RussellAlan | edbian: when I was doing the Live Install, it asked where do you want your boot loader to install? | 17:46 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: The ! on /dev/sda2 means you should have windows check the disk. why do you have unallocated space? | 17:46 |
| RussellAlan | I pointed it at /dev/sda3 | 17:46 |
| bennis | Actionparsnip: is lighdm a pain in the arse to set up? | 17:46 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: Your swap is only 1.95 Mb ? | 17:46 |
| RussellAlan | I was saving the un allocated for windows xp or a different copy of Windows | 17:46 |
| RussellAlan | edbian: meant to say gb | 17:46 |
| gratziano | hello all | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | bennis: its a package like any other, should be fine. Not themed it though as I don't think it's beneficial to theme something which is going to be onscreen for 3 seconds | 17:47 |
| RussellAlan | hey gratziano | 17:47 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: ok, I'm not familiar with the part of the installer where it was asking you where to install the bootloader. Are you able to boot the installed ubuntu at all? | 17:47 |
| RussellAlan | no. | 17:47 |
| RussellAlan | That is why I am trying to setup grub proper | 17:47 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: Can you boot a live CD and use it to boot the installed ubuntu ? | 17:47 |
| RussellAlan | I'm on live rightnow. | 17:48 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: xorg is still gobbling up all my cpu :/ | 17:48 |

| === davros is now known as spacin | ||
| ActionParsnip | hallman: are there any bugs reported? | 17:48 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: When you boot the live CD, early during the boot process there is a purple/black screen that has a man = keyboard icon at the bottom. Boot the liveCD and when you see that screen press some button. There will be an option to boot the HDD | 17:48 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: please use my name when talking to me or I will miss things you say :) | 17:49 |
| RussellAlan | interesting, didnt know what that was for | 17:49 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: sure :) | 17:49 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: We could fix it on the liveCD but it's a bit of a pain in the butt | 17:49 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: to the developers? Yes, plenty. Since many years back. They don't seem to give a fuck. | 17:49 |
| RussellAlan | edbian: so that icon would not appear unless i have had it installed already, or is that just an option to put it on the hdd? | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | hallman: could try the 185 driver to test | 17:50 |
| RussellAlan | btw, if your name is ed i like the world play edbian | 17:50 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: I don't find the 185 drivers in kpackagekit | 17:50 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: that icon appears when you boot the liveCD, it will possibly let you boot the installed OS (acting as grub sort of) temporarily this will let us boot so we can set up grub proper | 17:51 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: My name is Ed :) | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | hallman: could try removing 173 and install nvidia-current | 17:51 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: did that | 17:51 |
| RussellAlan | edbian: any buttons i should smash or just enter, space etc? | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | hallman: that's all I know then, maybe others can help | 17:52 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: the stick-man screen should react to any button | 17:52 |
| urlin2u | edbian, so the grub from the cd to boot the hd is after the first try ubuntu....etc or at that? | 17:52 |
| RussellAlan | gotcha | 17:52 |
| RussellAlan | edbian: doing a checkdisk | 17:52 |
| edbian | urlin2u: I don't know wha tyou mean. | 17:52 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: windows checkdisk? | 17:52 |
| hallman | ActionParsnip: Yeah.. Thanks, you've been most helpful. Considering just switching back to arch instead.. | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | hallman: I use a 6150 and use nouveau + kwin works really well | 17:53 |
| urlin2u | edbian, when you boot a live cd there are two install gui's the first has a try, and check memory etc, if you hit a key at powering on. If you just let the cd boot you get a sceond gui later on theat is a option to try or install only. | 17:54 |
| urlin2u | that* | 17:54 |
| edbian | urlin2u: oh, yes, that's right. What are you asking? | 17:55 |
| urlin2u | edbian, the exact area for the cd to boot ther hd, I didn't know this. | 17:55 |
| urlin2u | the* | 17:55 |
| edbian | urlin2u: ah-ha :) | 17:55 |

| recon69_lap | hi all, installing netbeans ide and was wondering what path to set for JDK , i'v found /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/bin , does this seem right to give to the netbeans installer which is asking for a path to the jdk | 18:15 |
| iceroot | recon69_lap: sounds correct | 18:15 |
| iceroot | bindi: every vnc server can do that | 18:15 |
| icarus_ | oO | 18:16 |
| bindi | iceroot: perhaps I failed then.. I couldn't get it to work | 18:16 |

| urlin2u | slav3_kitten, are you using the something other option at choice of install destination. | 18:18 |
| xangua | !classic | 18:18 |
| xangua | or use gnome classic abhi01 | 18:18 |
| ubottu | 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". | 18:18 |
| slav3_kitten | urlin2u, i just did the side by side option, then auto config | 18:18 |
| taiyal | what's a good piece of Ubuntu-compatible software that'll let me store arbitrary pieces of information indexed by person's name? | 18:18 |

| recon69_lap | no success using /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/bin as the path to jdk in netbeans installers :-( | 18:19 |
| abhi01 | iceroot and xangua i haven't upgraded to 11.04 yet but i heard that if i upgrade i cant bring the menu by clicking on ubuntu icon instead a window will open where i got to type the name of an app to open it. is it like that? | 18:19 |
| Monotoko | taiyal, sounds like a MySQL database may work? Along with phpmyadmin for easy viewing and adding | 18:19 |
| taiyal | alright, I'll check that out | 18:19 |
| abhi01 | there is no gnome menu on clicking the ubuntu icon anymore? | 18:19 |
| urlin2u | slav3_kitten, I suspect you have a boot partition which would make 4 primaries, which is the max, you also if you have the ubuntu partitions formatted have to use the something else option | 18:20 |

| urlin2u | slav3_kitten, get screen shot transfer it with a thumb or cd to what your using now and post it. If you force the partitions beyond the max allowed you will make your HD dynamic, or you have a gpt setup alreadt. | 18:22 |

| iceroot | dexter_: what should the package "updates" do? | 18:23 |

| urlin2u | slav3_kitten, k | 18:28 |
| pr0zoid | edbian: can i store it on the same drive or do i need to create a partition? | 18:28 |

| edbian | pr0zoid: You can but your backup wherever you want. Either one will work fine :) | 18:28 |
| John__ | iceroot: thanks, you know how to sort it by cpu usage descending ? | 18:29 |
| dexter_ | iceroot: What's package 1, 2... Do I insert a name? | 18:29 |
| iceroot | dexter_: to install updates use "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 18:29 |
| dexter_ | iceroot: Did it change in Natty? | 18:29 |
| iceroot | dexter_: if you want to install the package transmission and firefox use "sudo apt-get install transmission firefox" | 18:29 |

| arjunkumar | how do I reboot a desktop using crontab -e | 18:35 |
| theadmin | arjunkumar: You should use the system-wide crontab located in /etc/crontab | 18:35 |
| iceroot | arjunkumar: 0 10 * * * root /sbin/reboot but that in /etc/cron.d/ | 18:36 |

| SoItBegins | Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu | 18:37 |
| wildc4rd | evenin all! | 18:37 |
| === hacked is now known as vinces | ||
| iceroot | SoItBegins: great | 18:37 |
| SoItBegins | And I need a little help because I'm setting up for a triple-boot. | 18:37 |
| iceroot | SoItBegins: with which two other systems? | 18:38 |
| SoItBegins | Basically, I've already got the drive partitioned correctly, into three main partitions (1 for each OS) | 18:38 |
| SoItBegins | Oh, Mac OS X and Windows XP. | 18:38 |
| iceroot | SoItBegins: easiest is to install ubuntu at last | 18:38 |
| SoItBegins | Yep-- that's what I'm doing. | 18:38 |
| iceroot | !dualboot | SoItBegins | 18:38 |

| SoItBegins | I'm in the installer's "Allocate Drive Space" window now | 18:39 |
| SoItBegins | I just need a few tips... | 18:39 |
| SoItBegins | I understand that the partition I want to use for Ubuntu should be formatted as Ext3. | 18:39 |
| iceroot | SoItBegins: the first tip is to ask your question all in one line | 18:39 |
| SoItBegins | Oh. OK. | 18:39 |
| iceroot | SoItBegins: ext4 | 18:39 |
| SoItBegins | Ext4, then. | 18:39 |
| theadmin | SoItBegins: ext4 is a better idea | 18:39 |
| theadmin | iceroot: Nothing wrong with ext3 though, don't confuse people | 18:39 |
| SoItBegins | What I'm not sure about is the whole bootloader thing | 18:40 |
| iceroot | theadmin: its the default | 18:40 |
| theadmin | SoItBegins: Should be the drive you install Ubuntu on | 18:40 |
| SoItBegins | I'd prefer to get away without installing any sort of bootloader at all, as my MacBook Pro already comes with one (Darwin). | 18:40 |
| SoItBegins | Or am I missing something here? | 18:40 |
| theadmin | SoItBegins: It probably won't boot Linux for you | 18:40 |
| iceroot | SoItBegins: you install grub which is calling ubuntu, the bootloader from osx and the bootloader from windows | 18:41 |
| SoItBegins | Hmm. | 18:41 |
| iceroot | SoItBegins: normally you only have to install ubuntu in the free space, the rest is done automaticly | 18:41 |
| excelsior1979 | Can someone tell me if I take one cord from the power supply out of the hard drive in my tower and replace it with another cord with the same specs, without changing anything else, will it work? (voltage is the same, but I don't know if different COM will cause problems) | 18:42 |
| SoItBegins | OK... I'll try it and see if I can figure it out... | 18:43 |
| theadmin | SoItBegins: You need 1 partition of type 83 with ext2/3/4, mounted at / for the very basic setup. Separate /home is also a good idea | 18:44 |
| SoItBegins | @theadmin: Got that bit set up. | 18:45 |
| SoItBegins | Now, I should set the 'boot loader installation' menu to the entire drive, or the partition with Ubuntu? | 18:45 |
| theadmin | SoItBegins: The drive. | 18:45 |
| SoItBegins | OK, thanks. | 18:45 |
| theadmin | SoItBegins: If your current bootloader can chainload, you can use the partition | 18:45 |
| t4s | Hi. My external hard drive has a Russian k in it the name (probably from being hooked up to a Windows or Mac computer). I tried to rename it with Disk Utility, but now the Disk Utility is not responding (it's just hanging). Should it take long to rename a disk, or is something wrong? Would it be safe to kill the process and retry? Thanks. | 18:45 |
| theadmin | SoItBegins: If you have no idea what I just said, use the drive | 18:45 |
| SoItBegins | @theadmin: Got it. | 18:46 |
| ivanh | ahoj | 18:47 |
| pr0zoid | edbian: it seems like there are number of options for taking an image. rsync. tar, systemrescuecd. What i am looking to do is take a full back up then load it in a VM on my desktop. Later on i may want to have a mirror of the prod server but for now a backup will do. any recommendations given the above? | 18:47 |
| ivanh | quit | 18:48 |

| kyan | Hello. I've accidentally screwed up /etc/fstab so it mounts my root filesystem readonly every time | 18:48 |
| SoItBegins | After some slight searching, it appears Grub can chainload Darwin. No word on whether Darwin can chainload at all (except maybe Windows). | 18:48 |
| edbian | pr0zoid: since you wanna use the backup in a vm I suggest using dd and clone the actual partitions. (e.g. dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/some/file.vdi) | 18:49 |
| kyan | How can I change /etc/fstab with it being read-only? | 18:49 |
| theadmin | kyan: Should be something like this for your root: /dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 1 1 | 18:49 |
| theadmin | kyan: Ah, that. | 18:50 |
| theadmin | kyan: Run this first: mount -o remount,rw / | 18:50 |
| theadmin | kyan: Might need sudo | 18:50 |
| kyan | theadmin: Cool, thanks. | 18:50 |
| kyan | theadmin: The reason I got into that fix was because I had to write my fstab from scratch and had no idea how :-D just using a couple of reference guides from the internet | 18:51 |
| RussellAlan | edbian: | 18:51 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: yes? | 18:51 |
| erkan^ | is beta for 11.10 stable or unstable? | 18:52 |
| pr0zoid | edbian: when you say dd do you mean using one of the above tools to copy the entire device?? | 18:52 |
| Gentoo64 | erkan^, its not oging to be as stable as non betas is it | 18:52 |
| pr0zoid | not sure what dd is | 18:52 |
| theadmin | erkan^: It's... a beta. Unstable, naturally. | 18:52 |
| edbian | pr0zoid: no, dd is a command, a tool you did not list (or apparently know about) | 18:52 |
| erkan^ | ok | 18:53 |
| urlin2u | erkan^, not stable #ubuntu+1 is your destination | 18:53 |
| oCean | erkan^: well it's still beta, so unstable. Discussion/help in #ubuntu+1 channel | 18:53 |
| erkan^ | i use ubuntu 10.04 now (-: | 18:53 |
| erkan^ | thank you | 18:53 |
| edbian | pr0zoid: I gave an example of how to use it. It copies data at the bit level. It will make an EXACT copy of the partition you point it at. This makes it useful for using the data to boot a VM | 18:53 |
| SoItBegins | [sigh] Another question. | 18:53 |
| theadmin | SoItBegins: Sure, ask away | 18:54 |
| SoItBegins | When I try to install, the system warns me that I haven't set up any swap space. | 18:54 |
| SoItBegins | I started life as a Mac user, and on OS X the system uses a chunk of your main disk space as swap. | 18:54 |
| SoItBegins | Can I set it up to do that / what should I do now? | 18:54 |
| max-reve | #linuxac | 18:55 |
| theadmin | SoItBegins: You need a separate partition of type 82 for that. | 18:55 |

| Gentoo64 | but i mean easy lol | 19:09 |
| John__ | what gui driver manager? | 19:09 |
| Gentoo64 | driver manager is easier to maintain | 19:09 |
| Gentoo64 | i think its jockey gtk | 19:09 |
| Gentoo64 | its in the menu somewhere / panel whetever | 19:10 |
| Gentoo64 | additional drivers | 19:10 |
| yeats | Gentoo64: you're right - it's jockey-gtk | 19:10 |
| Ab- | guys, new to ubuntu here | 19:10 |
| Ab- | how do i set pidgin to autostart on pc boot | 19:10 |
| alexander13 | Hello Can someone please help me? Synaptic says I have to fix broken packages before installing. I fixed via synaptic but it still doesn't work. | 19:11 |
| John__ | additional drivers wont let me browse to one | 19:11 |
| Gentoo64 | Ab-, there should be an autostart apps thing in the system settings | 19:11 |
| theadmin | Ab-: System -> Preferences -> Startup apps | 19:11 |
| Gentoo64 | just add pidgin | 19:11 |
| yeats | Ab-: add it to Startup Applications | 19:11 |
| jawsnfl | alexander13 use dpkg command | 19:11 |
| kyan | Hello again. Now that I have the /etc/fstab problem fixed, it is booting to a blank screen. I do have a cursor, but nothing else. | 19:11 |
| yeats | alexander13: can you pastebin the error you're seeing? | 19:11 |
| kyan | What could be the problem? | 19:11 |
| Gentoo64 | kyan, did it work fine before the fstab messed up? | 19:12 |
| Gentoo64 | could be gpu settings, all of a sudden :s | 19:12 |
| Ab- | thank you Gentoo64 / yeats / the admin | 19:12 |
| theadmin | kyan: Do you have a separate /usr or /home partitions? | 19:12 |
| kyan | Gentoo64: No, it's a new installation made by mondo | 19:12 |
| Gentoo64 | what is it with ubuntu and blank screens | 19:12 |
| theadmin | kyan: Make sure fstab mounts those properly | 19:12 |
| Gentoo64 | kyan, who is mondo? | 19:12 |
| kyan | Gentoo64: It's running in a VM (in VirtualBox). | 19:12 |
| Gentoo64 | ah ok | 19:12 |
| Gentoo64 | thats... sometimes bad | 19:13 |
| alexander13 | yeats: It just said I have broken packages | 19:13 |
| kyan | theadmin: No I do not. | 19:13 |
| alexander13 | jawsnfl: I tried, but it did nothing. | 19:13 |
| kyan | theadmin: Only one partition, occupying the entire drive, mounted at / | 19:13 |
| theadmin | kyan: I see. | 19:13 |
| Gentoo64 | kyan, try rebooting | 19:13 |
| Gentoo64 | it might just wrk | 19:13 |
| Gentoo64 | sometimes it glitches up like that | 19:14 |
| theadmin | kyan: That looks odd, but okayish... Try sudo modprobe -r vboxdrv to unload virtualbox's drivers, those bug out from time to time | 19:14 |
| yeats | alexander13: in the terminal, can you do 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' and pastebin the output? | 19:14 |
| jawsnfl | alexander13 try the dpkg command with --help n choose what command suites u best | 19:15 |
| kyan_ | Gentoo64: Mondo Rescue is a backup program http://www.mondorescue.org/ | 19:15 |
| kyan_ | Gentoo64: Reboot the VM or the host system? I have tried rebooting the VMB | 19:15 |
| edbian | RussellAlan: I'm here now :P | 19:15 |
| kyan_ | I mean the VM | 19:15 |
| jawsnfl | alexander13 ie dpkg -p <package name> | 19:15 |
| Gentoo64 | kyan, the vm | 19:16 |
| Gentoo64 | idk then | 19:16 |
| theadmin | kyan: Rebooting the host won't help anyone | 19:16 |
| kyan_ | theadmin: didn't think so :-D | 19:16 |
| kyan_ | Gentoo64: Hmm. | 19:16 |
| Gentoo64 | idk anything about "mondo" either | 19:16 |
| theadmin | kyan_: Try what I said | 19:16 |
| Gentoo64 | so ill be quiet | 19:16 |
| theadmin | kyan_: sudo rmmod vboxdrv, for starters, to unload Virtualbox's graphic (and a few others) drivers | 19:16 |
| jawsnfl | anyone know how to write an email harvesting script | 19:17 |
| thomas13 | Hello Can someone please help me? Synaptic says I have to fix broken packages before installing. I fixed via synaptic but it still doesn't work. | 19:17 |
| thomas13 | I also ran dpkg but it didn't do anything. | 19:17 |
| theadmin | thomas13: sudo apt-get -f install ; sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a | 19:17 |
| Gentoo64 | jawsnfl, http://goo.gl/wvZ96 | 19:18 |
| kyan_ | theadmin: Hmm ok. I'm afraid I missed the suggestions because the IRC client hung for a minute and I had to reload it. | 19:18 |
| jawsnfl | gentoo64 lemmie check it out now | 19:18 |
| thomas13 | theadmin: Thanks for replying. Trying now... | 19:18 |
| kyan_ | theadmin: rmmod vboxdrv — is that going to break anything? | 19:19 |
| kyan_ | *worried*= | 19:19 |
| theadmin | kyan_: It will just unload the modules for one session, do not worry | 19:19 |
| kyan_ | theadmin: ok… here goes | 19:19 |
| kyan_ | ERROR: Module vboxdrv is in use by vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt | 19:19 |
| theadmin | kyan_: I'm not sure who those are... But try killing them | 19:20 |
| jawsnfl | gentoo64 i need open source code if posible | 19:20 |
| kyan_ | theadmin: no process found for both of them | 19:20 |
| bindi | can I change the display mode from command line? it's extend atm, and the main display is dead, i need to set it to mirror | 19:21 |
| theadmin | bindi: The xrandr command can help you with that | 19:21 |
| theadmin | kyan_: I see, meh, weird, I'm not sure how the modules work | 19:21 |
| kyan_ | theadmin: Hmm. | 19:22 |
| eiriksvin | Can someone tell me why the Ubuntu installer would fail at resizing the partitions? | 19:22 |
| kyan_ | theadmin: found a ref here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:yxT0cVsZOSMJ:ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-720349.html+rmmod+vboxdrv&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us | 19:22 |
| thrillERboy | Hi, I use this script in .bashrc to display current git branch in prompt, if pwd is a git repo, I have a bug though, it outputs git --version in terminal everytime I start it, if git is not installed I get error everytime I strat terminal. Pls help http://paste.ubuntu.com/681349/ | 19:22 |
| Gentoo64 | eiriksvin, are any of them mounted? | 19:22 |
| kyan_ | theadmin: different error but same goal: rmmod vboxdrv | 19:22 |
| skutt | Can someone help me to figure out how to fix "Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) + ALERT! UUID does not exist" ? | 19:22 |
| Spyder83 | I'm having a problem with x server crashing. I'm getting "intel/intel_bufmgr_gem.c:941: Error preparing buffer map. Any ideas? Thanks | 19:23 |
| Spyder83 | I have the log uploaded if needed. | 19:24 |
| bindi | theadmin: "Can't open display VGA1" | 19:24 |
| eiriksvin | I used the Ubuntu installers GUI for selecting partition sizes and it showed the Windows Vista partition, but when I tried to install Ubuntu along side vista, it failed to resize the partition | 19:24 |
| Gentoo64 | eiriksvin, try installing it normall (making an ubuntu partition manaully) it will dual boot exactly the same | 19:25 |
| Gentoo64 | and shoulnt have probs | 19:25 |
| eiriksvin | ok, I'm going to bring up Gparted | 19:25 |
| theadmin | eiriksvin: Probably a missing package with the program for resizing the specific partition type | 19:26 |
| eiriksvin | I'm on the live USB right now | 19:26 |
| jonanscott | hello. just got an Ubuntu system running openvpn (client) and wondering if anyone knows how to pass the username and password (maybe in the config?) | 19:26 |
| jonanscott | alas the --auth-user-pass does not work as it needs something on the server side, which I don't control | 19:27 |
| pdtpatrick | How do you install a new theme in ubuntu 11.10 ? Do you have to manually install it in /usr/share? Because the current appearance allows now way of installing themese | 19:27 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, if you resize vista far enough it will want a auto chkdsk probably be prepared for that. | 19:28 |
| theadmin | pdtpatrick: You normally should be able to drag the tarball onto the theme list to install it | 19:28 |
| eiriksvin | ok, gparted shows all the partitions, I know I need a ext4 and a swap first, then I'll work from there | 19:28 |
| Spyder83 | I have uploaded the Xorg log on pastebin if anyone could take a look and help me out. http://pastebin.com/FMzyGyxp | 19:28 |
| kyan_ | theadmin: During boot I am getting the error message: [52.320000] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized — upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr. Do you think that could be a cause of the problem?\ | 19:29 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, how mant=y windows partitons do you see? | 19:29 |
| pdtpatrick | theadmin, right .. but in 11.10 it seems they give you a list and you either choose from that or you're S.O.L at least on my attempts. Have you tried it on 11.10 and that worked for you ? | 19:29 |
| theadmin | kyan_: Doubtable. I get that, that appears to be a problem with AMD processors in some way... Or maybe not. But for me X works and Xfce works and everything works | 19:29 |
| kescc | i uinstalled a program from wine, it uinsalled sucsess but the folder of the program in the wine folder meny is still there how do i remove it? | 19:29 |
| theadmin | pdtpatrick: Sorry but 11.10 is not supported here. | 19:30 |
| theadmin | kescc: alacarte | 19:30 |
| kescc | theadmin ???? | 19:30 |
| kescc | what | 19:30 |
| urlin2u | pdtpatrick, #ubuntu+1 | 19:30 |
| theadmin | kescc: That's a terminal command, run it | 19:30 |
| eiriksvin | well there are 4 partitions: fat16 (DellUtility), ntfs (RECOVERY), ntfs (OS), and unallocated | 19:31 |
| Gentoo64 | eiriksvin, i dont see why it fails. but doing it manually shouldnt... as long as none are mounted | 19:31 |
| Vardamir | Hi, I want to create a shortcut to launch an application always with very high priority. If I write in the shorcut, or in a shell, "nice -19 vlc" vlc starts with 19 (very low priority), not -19 (the high priority). Can you help with this? | 19:32 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, you can only have a maxium of 4 promary partitions. | 19:32 |
| kescc | theadmin thx | 19:32 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 19:32 |
| eiriksvin | why would gparted have a red ! by the OS partition? | 19:32 |
| Gentoo64 | no idea | 19:33 |
| Gentoo64 | does it say anything when you hover on it? | 19:33 |
| theadmin | eiriksvin: Probably means it's mounted. | 19:33 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, or 3 primaries and a extended, for logical partitions for ubuntu. | 19:33 |
| edbian | eiriksvin: the partition needs to be checked for errors | 19:33 |
| Gentoo64 | i think padlock means mounted | 19:33 |
| edbian | theadmin: a lock means it's mounted | 19:33 |
| recon69_lap | got the jdk installed and netbeans 7.1 going as well :) | 19:33 |
| edbian | eiriksvin: it means there are errors on the partition, right click -> properties for more info | 19:33 |
| Gentoo64 | eiriksvin, ok so fsck then try it again | 19:33 |
| theadmin | edbian: Who am I to know? I use fdisk :D | 19:33 |
| edbian | theadmin: cfdisk ftw | 19:34 |
| Gentoo64 | gparted ftw | 19:34 |
| theadmin | edbian: That fails on my drive randomly | 19:34 |
| eiriksvin | checking it now | 19:34 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, are you counting the unallocated as a partition? | 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | Gentoo64: yep :D | 19:34 |
| pr0zoid | edbian: appreciate all the help... got winscp loaded and connected to my server. i'm doing just a strait get from the server to my local? | 19:34 |
| edbian | theadmin: :( | 19:34 |
| edbian | pr0zoid: You tell me! :D | 19:34 |
| alex- | Are there any alternatives to dropbox which work the same but you can host yourself? | 19:34 |
| edbian | pr0zoid: that's what the command does :) You're the one doing the backup though. Is that what you want? | 19:34 |
| Gentoo64 | alex-, mybox | 19:34 |
| alex- | Gentoo64, www.myboxhd.com ? | 19:35 |
| thomas13 | theadmin: It didn' work. :( | 19:36 |
| gaelfx | theadmin: you started a horrible, horrible thing, getting me on arch. I do like gnome 3 though :D | 19:36 |
| eiriksvin | shoot gparted is crashing | 19:36 |
| kurt_ | Hi | 19:36 |
| kurt_ | is anyone available to give me a hand ? I am using Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 64-Bit and I have a problem with the pre installed Empathy Client | 19:37 |
| tim__ | i carnt wait untill 11.10 to come out | 19:37 |
| eiriksvin | <urlin2u> yes | 19:37 |
| Spyder83 | eiriksvin: Maybe try using parted magic | 19:37 |
| gaelfx | kurt_: is the problem with join/part messages? cause I'm having it too | 19:37 |
| alex- | 11.04 is fucked up | 19:37 |
| kurt_ | gaelfx, I can not log into MSN using Empathy | 19:38 |
| alex- | 11.04 should be like 11.10 is | 19:38 |
| Ab- | teh initial theme after installation is fucked up | 19:38 |
| theadmin | gaelfx: You should PM for things like that | 19:38 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, cool make sure you put a exteneded in the unallocated, then logicals inside the extended. | 19:38 |
| Ab- | until u choose classic | 19:38 |
| kurt_ | I get a red bar saying "Reason Unspecified" | 19:38 |
| gaelfx | !language > alex- | 19:38 |
| ubottu | alex-, please see my private message | 19:38 |
| oCean | alex-: please mind your language in this channel | 19:38 |
| kurt_ | "no reason specified" sorry | 19:38 |
| pr0zoid | edbian: i can see how this would work for data i want to back up but essentially i'm looking for a way to take a snapshot of the system (minus free space - since my server only has 1 10gb drive) and use that image to be reloaded in VM that i can boot. my end result would be a dupe of my server in vm. | 19:38 |
| kurt_ | does anyone know why Empathy doesnt like to connect to MSN even though it has the option to do so ? | 19:38 |
| kurt_ | this is a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.4 | 19:39 |
| eiriksvin | I can't resize the OS partition | 19:39 |
| eiriksvin | I don't want to use Wubi | 19:39 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, take a screen shot of gparted and imagbin it. | 19:40 |
| edbian | pr0zoid: then dd is the best tool to use. | 19:40 |
| alex- | eiriksvin, why can't you? | 19:40 |
| Kartagis | kurt_: in pidgin, there is the option "Connect on HTTP" or something. maybe Empathy has it too | 19:40 |
| Vardamir | how do you launch a process with -19 (very high priority)? nice -19 launches it with 19 priority. [Using Ubuntu 11.04] | 19:40 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | 19:40 |
| edbian | pr0zoid: Problem is it isn't a remote tool. So you'll have to have to use dd (and have enough local space for the double) then use scp or rsync or something to move it over | 19:40 |
| Kartagis | Vardamir: nice 19? | 19:40 |
| kurt_ | If i select "Advanced" in settings Kartagis I get "Server" I can change the server and then "Port" I can change the port used | 19:40 |
| eiriksvin | <urlin2u> ok, one sec | 19:40 |
| Vardamir | kartagis doesn't works | 19:40 |
| tetsuo--- | hello, i ahev a problem with a wine app and they told me i need " 32 bit gl/dri/drm libraries for your drivers" , how do i get these/\ | 19:41 |
| Vardamir | i tried that | 19:41 |
| Kartagis | try +19? | 19:41 |
| Vardamir | don't work | 19:41 |
| Vardamir | too | 19:41 |
| Vardamir | nice +19 vlc | 19:41 |
| Vardamir | nice: +19: No such file or directory | 19:41 |
| kurt_ | anyone know why Empathy doesnt connect to MSN accounts and says "No Reason Specified" as the error ? | 19:42 |
| gaelfx | kurt_: are you in China? | 19:42 |
| alex- | Gentoo64, Is their site mybox-hd.com ? | 19:42 |
| kurt_ | nope im in England, United Kingdom | 19:42 |
| thrillERboy | How to check if Git is installed in .bashrc file? I mean what condition to I have to use, for an if statement? | 19:43 |
| gaelfx | kurt_: can you connect to msn using a different client? | 19:43 |
| kurt_ | ill try 1 sec | 19:43 |
| eiriksvin | heres that gparted screenshot: http://imagebin.org/170873 | 19:44 |
| bindi | how do I disable the keyring? it's stupid and it's in the way of my automatic wireless | 19:45 |
| eiriksvin | <bindi>just make the connection available to all users, it will get rid of the keyring flub | 19:46 |
| kurt_ | gaelfx, Yeah I can log in using other clients | 19:46 |
| gaelfx | bindi: you could probably set up your system to connect to wireless on boot up | 19:46 |
| kurt_ | its just Empathy doesnt like MSN :s | 19:46 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, I yink you probably need to run a chkdsk on that | 19:47 |
| urlin2u | think* | 19:47 |
| bindi | eiriksvin: alright, let's hope it works | 19:47 |
| eiriksvin | so run win and chkdsk it? | 19:47 |
| pr0zoid | edbian: i guess i could resize the partition and use dd duplicate to the new partition then copy usind scp | 19:47 |
| gaelfx | kurt_: are you using any kind of PPA for empathy? | 19:47 |
| Vardamir | If you know the process name, what's the command to get the process number? | 19:47 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, yeah chkdsk /f/r | 19:47 |
| bindi | how can I add a command that needs sudo to be executed automatically? | 19:48 |
| kurt_ | nope | 19:48 |
| eiriksvin | so run chkdsk /f/r at prompt | 19:48 |
| kurt_ | It was the default install | 19:48 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, make sure your defragged as well, how much data is in sda3? | 19:48 |
| kurt_ | it is pre installed with 10.4 LTS | 19:48 |
| ItalianStallion | hello i have a question | 19:49 |
| oCean | Vardamir: you can use pgrep programname (e.g. pgrep firefox) or grep the process table: ps -ef | grep firefox (example) | 19:49 |
| eiriksvin | idk, i think its probably viral | 19:49 |
| Vardamir | oCean thank you very much | 19:49 |
| kurt_ | Only advanced settings i can change is the port number and the server name | 19:49 |
| urlin2u | !ask | ItalianStallion | 19:49 |
| ubottu | ItalianStallion: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:49 |
| ItalianStallion | if i install ubuntu with the wubi installer, will it any way affect my current windows 7 that i have installed? | 19:50 |
| velocirraptor | ok | 19:50 |
| Vardamir | oCean now I want to renice that process to -19 priority, how can I chain renice and pgrep to do it? | 19:50 |
| urlin2u | ItalianStallion, shouldn't but wubi is designed for trying out not longterm use. | 19:50 |
| dfjsfjdfgnsxdth | would b better too run it in a vm | 19:50 |
| ItalianStallion | what do you mean trying out | 19:50 |
| ItalianStallion | why would it be on the webpage then if it says its a installer | 19:51 |
| gaelfx | kurt_: dang, then I'm out of ideas, might wanna restate your problem so someone who can help might actually do so | 19:51 |
| kurt_ | ok :( well thanks for your time anyway gaelfx :) | 19:51 |
| urlin2u | ItalianStallion, read the designers comments. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ | 19:51 |
| gaelfx | sorry I'm not more useful | 19:51 |
| kurt_ | lol its ok xD | 19:51 |
| kyan | theadmin: Sorry, the client just died again. Third time was the charm! Unfortunately, while it has booted now, compiz is not starting. :-( Compare the appearance of the windows in the vm and the host here: http://image.bayimg.com/najdaaado.jpg | 19:52 |
| eiriksvin | crud, I can't do anything on it right now, I just realized my aunt never gave me her password | 19:52 |
| eiriksvin | doh | 19:52 |
| kurt_ | Does anyone know why my pre installed Empathy client will not connect to MSN ? I input my password and email and it does not connect saying "No Reason Specified" as the error message :s | 19:52 |
| urlin2u | ItalianStallion, wubi is a file inside of windows so it will take up space. | 19:52 |
| kyan | theadmin: the host has compiz working, while the vm doesn't. Any idea why, or how to fix it? | 19:52 |
| theadmin | kyan: Nope | 19:52 |
| kyan | theadmin: The error message compiz produced when starting is shown in the terminal window in the vm. Okay… | 19:53 |
| kyan | theadmin: thanks. | 19:53 |
| ItalianStallion | will it act like a second operating system? | 19:53 |
| kurt_ | anybody here know how to fix Empathy and msn lol ? | 19:53 |
| eiriksvin | I have done this a 5 times, and every time I do it, I run into a bunch of problems... I'm still a Linux junky though... | 19:53 |
| kyan | What could cause compiz in a new installation to not work? | 19:54 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, not without gparted being able to read it, be careful here you could damage the vista without following a protocol. | 19:54 |
| jayson_r | kyan: you are running in a VM? what virtualization product are you using? | 19:54 |
| urlin2u | ItalianStallion, yes it is a pseudo dual boot. | 19:54 |
| oCean | Vardamir: something like this (with the example for firefox) pgrep firefox-bin | xargs sudo renice -19 | 19:55 |
| urlin2u | ItalianStallion, also get used to tabbing nics so we can tell who your addressing, and they are notified of a address. | 19:55 |
| kyan | jayson_r: VirtualBox | 19:56 |
| eiriksvin | I'm not going to install it until I have checked it, so thats just going to have to wait a couple of days... at least my Live USB can be used | 19:56 |
| Vardamir | oCean it works ! Thank you very much :))) | 19:56 |
| ItalianStallion | ok | 19:56 |
| jayson_r | kyan: make sure you enabled 3D acceloration in the Display area in the VM's config in VB | 19:56 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, good idea. :D | 19:56 |
| oCean | Vardamir: welcome | 19:56 |
| jayson_r | kyan: also, install the package 'virtualbox-ose-guest-utils' inside the VM via apt-get | 19:56 |
| kurt_ | Does anyone know if i need telepathy-butterfly ? Apparently removing it enables MSN to work in empathy buy i dont want to install things I dont know incase i need it for other stuff | 19:57 |

| Vardamir | What's the way to start and application directly with very high priority? (nice -19) nice -19 appname makes just the opposite | 20:02 |
| Guest5021 | knittl: sorry sonar is a digital audio workstation and there are all kinds of ionstrument programs and effects that dont come with the software any sites that might have downloads of that kinda stuff? | 20:02 |
| abhi01 | why did they make that unity menu window so large why not a sleek bar which would contain the programs | 20:02 |
| jayson_r | misterduck: sorry I don't have an anwer for you - perhaps someone will later | 20:02 |
| abhi01 | below the ubuntu icon | 20:02 |
| misterduck | urlin2u: I am not beggin but it is outrageously sad that alot of people are on this channel but no one can help. | 20:02 |
| knittl | Guest5021: wth? | 20:03 |
| misterduck | jayson_r: It's alright. Thank you/ | 20:03 |
| jayson_r | misterduck: have you by any chance installed anything outside of the standard repos that might have messed w/ your installed packages for dependancies? | 20:03 |
| t4s | Hi. I can't mount my external hard drive. It says "The device is busy. A job is pending on /dev/sdb1". Is there a way to see which job is running or what is going on? | 20:03 |
| urlin2u | misterduck, your now getting to a quiet or ban be careful. | 20:03 |
| misterduck | jayson_r: Ubuntu tweak told me I had problems with my packages | 20:03 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: I think you need "nice -n 19" | 20:03 |
| jbeatty | misterduck: you're right, it is pretty outrageous. You should demand your money back. | 20:04 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: Err, "nice -n -19" or whatever | 20:04 |

| Vardamir | theadmin I tried that but it starts vlc with nice 0 | 20:04 |
| root_ | oaky | 20:04 |

| urlin2u | root_, you need to tab nics so we see you have replied this channel is very busy. | 20:04 |
| kurt_ | Empathy does not connect to MSN Messenger with default settings error message says "Disconected - No Reason Specified" any ideas ? | 20:05 |
| Guest5021 | knittl: no no i was not trying to mock you,i just am confused what your asking me about,sorry | 20:05 |

| kurt_ | hmm so there is no fix for empathy and msn abhi01 ? :s | 20:07 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: After VLC is started, just do "sudo renice -n -19 -p $(pidof vlc)" | 20:07 |
| robin0800 | abhi01, if you mean the launcher it can be resized | 20:07 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ i cant access yahoo chat in empathy do trashed it for pidgin | 20:07 |
| urlin2u | root_, gnome is a desktop, what is it you need tools for. | 20:07 |
| kurt_ | ahh ok :( | 20:07 |
| abhi01 | robin0800 it can be? nice to know | 20:08 |
| Vardamir | theadmin ok ... but I would like I can configure something so application always starts with high priority, just double click in an icon and run ... | 20:08 |
| kurt_ | howcome empathy is the default IM client for Ubuntu if it doesnt work as it should ? :s | 20:08 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: You could write a script | 20:08 |
| ehte | does lubuntu support vlc player | 20:08 |
| S0LIDUS | Hello people! | 20:08 |
| urlin2u | ehte, yes | 20:08 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ i think they made pidgin default in 11.04 but not sure ask someone | 20:08 |
| ehte | thanks | 20:08 |
| Vardamir | theadmin but you have to sudo it ... so I can't to it with an icon | 20:08 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ they should have vlc media player as well. their default movie player sucks | 20:08 |
| kurt_ | ahh ok cus i still use 10.4 LTS and it comes with empathy | 20:08 |
| kurt_ | lol | 20:09 |
| urlin2u | ehte, lubuntu is ubuntu with the lubuntu desktop. | 20:09 |
| root_ | urlin2u: are there any other desktops? | 20:09 |
| Guest5021 | knittl: oh i thought u recomended a site where i could download sonar instruments and add-ons | 20:09 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ their media player is fail. doesnt even play mp3 | 20:09 |
| Vardamir | theadmin I want any user in this machine launch by default that app with high priority | 20:09 |
| ehte | yea i just started using so im learning it | 20:09 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: Hm, actually if you add a line similar to "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/renice" to your sudoers... | 20:09 |
| kurt_ | you need to install codec to play mp3 in their default media player abhi01 i think | 20:09 |
| urlin2u | root_, there is ubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu, and xubuntu | 20:09 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: Could well work | 20:09 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ i installed vlc. cant use that terrible player | 20:10 |
| kurt_ | lol ok xD | 20:10 |
| === root_ is now known as ttf1 | ||
| urlin2u | root_, and others like openbox, and other small desktops. | 20:10 |
| Vardamir | theadmin mm .... it looks good, I don't know that syntax. What file I have to edit to do it? | 20:10 |
| ttf1 | urlin2u: okay and how do they differ? | 20:10 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: Run "EDITOR=nano visudo" | 20:10 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ it was redirecting me to buy some codecs to play dvd. wtf! | 20:10 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: Put that line at the end | 20:10 |
| kurt_ | but yeah i think i might have to ditch empathy for pidgin or something abhi01, cant find a solution anywhere to get msn working on it lol | 20:10 |
| tmandry | how do I stop kdm from being started after the system boots? | 20:11 |
| kurt_ | abhi01, lol wtf xD was free for me :P | 20:11 |
| theadmin | tmandry: sudo mv /etc/init/kdm.conf /etc/init/kdm.DISABLED | 20:11 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ some page came idk it was free or not to play dvd ;) | 20:11 |
| kurt_ | abhi01, you are using ubuntu right ? Only distro i seen that wanted money for codecs was Mandriva xD | 20:11 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ and i cancelled it and installed vlc | 20:11 |
| urlin2u | ttf1, to exstensive to really discuss here the web would be a better source, this is for specific help, the #ubuntu-offtopic might help. | 20:11 |
| guntbert | ttf1: did anyone tell you that it is a very bad idea ™ to irc as root? | 20:11 |
| kurt_ | lol :P | 20:11 |
| freebird | you guys, when it asks to download flash player, thru the browser, when it's about to open, it asks me to choose an app that will handle the installation, which app should I choose ? | 20:11 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ they also show terrible google ads in firefox. canonical is trying to make a few bucks | 20:12 |
| ttf1 | urlin2u: no, why? | 20:12 |
| kurt_ | hmm | 20:12 |
| urlin2u | freebird, you using flash aid choose bets | 20:12 |
| kurt_ | use adblock plus :P | 20:12 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: no, why | 20:12 |
| urlin2u | freebird, bets* | 20:12 |
| Vardamir | theadmin done... how can I save the file? | 20:12 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: The shortcuts are at the bottom :D | 20:13 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ lol the ads are shown when u search using firefox and canonical gets the money | 20:13 |
| urlin2u | freebird, beta* | 20:13 |
| kurt_ | ohh | 20:13 |
| ttf1 | urlin2u: sorry, wrong target ^^ | 20:13 |
| Vardamir | theadmin writeout ... | 20:13 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: Yeah. | 20:13 |
| tmandry | theadmin: there's not a cleaner way? | 20:13 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: ^O means Ctrl-O | 20:13 |
| theadmin | tmandry: That's rather clean, imo | 20:13 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ thats why they ship free cds to users so that they can earn money through google adsense | 20:13 |
| Guest5021 | anyone know where free safe software downloads can be found for all operating systems? | 20:13 |
| kurt_ | i dont mind if canonical want to make money lol just install a default im client that works :P | 20:13 |
| Phoenix87 | is anyone familiar with the weak signal issue of atheros wifi adapters? I'm trying to switch from network-manager to wicd, but the former won't connect to a hidden essid | 20:13 |
| Gaerik | I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 on an Acer Aspire 7745G. I can't get the internal microphone to work. In sound preferences it isn't muted and it is set to "Internal Microphone" but the input levels never budge when I talk into the mic. Can anyone help me out here? | 20:13 |
| Vardamir | theadmin ok ... done . Now I test the script .... | 20:13 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: what is bad with run irssi as root? | 20:13 |
| kurt_ | ohh ok | 20:13 |
| freebird | urlin2u, where would that be ? | 20:13 |
| freebird | I don't have it in here, | 20:14 |
| guntbert | ttf1: the linux concept of user permissions is based on the fact that a normal user cannot do much harm to the system, running all programs as root invalidates that... | 20:14 |
| freebird | where shows me nothing | 20:14 |
| urlin2u | Guest5021, two many to list look on the web and decide for yourself, if it is 3rd party be aware. | 20:14 |
| freebird | urlin2u, l | 20:14 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ isn't it bad to ship cds to users inorder to make money via adsense xD | 20:14 |
| vooze | I just installed gnome-shell + gnome3 on 11.04 qne qll is fine, but just one thing.. when I add software its good, but when i log out and back in, its gone from the gnome-shell (i can start just fine with terminal) anyone tryed this? | 20:14 |
| kurt_ | lol i dunno xD | 20:14 |
| urlin2u | freebird, are you using flash aid if not install that add on, ot the ubuntu-redtricted-extras | 20:14 |
| guntbert | ttf1: btw what system are you running? | 20:14 |
| kurt_ | probably depends on if you need a free cd or not xD | 20:15 |
| urlin2u | or* freebird | 20:15 |
| Vardamir | theadmin aaarggg still nice 0 ! maybe I have to restart pc? | 20:15 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: No, shouldn't have to | 20:15 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 20:15 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ and call it free to copy and free to make canonical earn more money lmao | 20:15 |
| abhi01 | xD | 20:15 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: yeah right, i just started irssi in my already opened term, and i forgot that i was logged as root ^ | 20:15 |
| Vardamir | theadmin the script is ... | 20:15 |
| Vardamir | vlc && | 20:15 |
| Vardamir | pgrep vlc | xargs renice -19 | 20:15 |
| kurt_ | lol | 20:15 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: lucid lynx, why? | 20:16 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ atleast their older versions of ubuntu did not show ads | 20:16 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ custom ads in firefox | 20:16 |
| kurt_ | hmm | 20:16 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: What on earth is... that for? renice -19 -p $(pidof vlc) | 20:16 |
| kurt_ | I havent noticed any but I havent used anything later than 10.4 | 20:16 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ their founder puts the money in his pocket! | 20:16 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ and calls it human! | 20:16 |
| abhi01 | rofl | 20:16 |
| guntbert | ttf1: I asked because normally you don't run anything as root, you cannot login as root | 20:17 |
| kurt_ | lol | 20:17 |
| urlin2u | freebird, you can just install the ubuntu-restricted-extras for codecs and flash | 20:17 |
| Vardamir | theadmin ok, more easy ... testing ... | 20:17 |
| urlin2u | beelzebud, DO NOT PM ME. | 20:17 |
| theadmin | He pmed me too | 20:17 |
| beelzebud | Ok sorry | 20:17 |
| kurt_ | in all fairness though im happy with the operating system as a whole :P as long as people who make it get to earn a bit they deserve some sort of reward lol | 20:17 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ their media player is fail, the IM is fail, everything is fail imo xD | 20:17 |
| theadmin | Jeebus | 20:17 |
| kurt_ | xD | 20:18 |
| beelzebud | I need an email sender ? | 20:18 |
| Vardamir | theadmin still nice 0 ... | 20:18 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ the people who made it dont get the money. the canonical founder gets it | 20:18 |
| kurt_ | oh | 20:18 |
| kurt_ | than thats not so good >.< | 20:18 |
| theadmin | Vardamir: Well that's sad. I'm not sure why would you need VLC to run with such a huge priority though | 20:18 |
| freebird | urlin2u, tks, I'm trying | 20:18 |
| urlin2u | theadmin, I rab the bots pm and was pmed again. | 20:18 |
| urlin2u | ran | 20:18 |
| guntbert | !ot | kurt_ , abhi01 | 20:18 |
| ubottu | kurt_ , abhi01: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 20:18 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: i can su to root in term.. | 20:18 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ like you use pidgin or firefox, the guys who made it dont get the money, nor does the guys who made GNOME that you see, ubuntu just changed the leg icon of GNOME on its own lol | 20:19 |
| guntbert | ttf1: no, you cannot - on a standard ubuntu at least | 20:19 |
| jack__ | Hello to everyone in this chat! | 20:19 |
| === _nyuszika7h_ is now known as nyuszika7h | ||
| theadmin | guntbert: Setting a root password is rather simple even on a standard Ubuntu, it's just unsupported for no apparent reason | 20:19 |
| Vardamir | theadmin to improve video smoothness, by default is ok, but sometimes it looks slightly more smooth with high priority | 20:19 |
| guntbert | !noroot | theadmin | 20:19 |
| ubottu | theadmin: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 20:20 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: i just in stalled ubuntu 1 minute ago and you see.. it works ^^ | 20:20 |
| jack__ | Can anyone tell me a good web site that tell me how install Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 11.04? | 20:20 |
| theadmin | guntbert: I know, I just said it's not supported. | 20:20 |
| urlin2u | freebird, if your running another desktop like lubunu or kubuntu sub the DE | 20:20 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: why you can´t do this usually? | 20:20 |
| theadmin | guntbert: I just said it may be the situatio nwith ttf1 | 20:20 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ take a look at the GNOME interface, ubuntu is similar :D with a changed icon in its menu icon.:D the only good thing is that i was shipped a cd :D free of cost | 20:20 |
| guntbert | theadmin: you also said "for no apparent reason", which is wrong | 20:20 |
| freebird | urlin2u, what does sub the DE means ? | 20:20 |
| kurt_ | lol | 20:20 |
| guntbert | !sudo | ttf1 | 20:21 |
| theadmin | guntbert: Well, the only real reason is Ubuntu trying to prevent users from causing harm to their systems. | 20:21 |
| ubottu | ttf1: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 20:21 |
| jack__ | a good Ruby on rails IDE ? | 20:21 |
| urlin2u | freebird, if kubuntu run kubuntu-restricted-extras they are all basically the same though | 20:21 |
| guntbert | theadmin: which is a perfectly good reason in my eyes :) | 20:21 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: yeah i can use sudo or su root | 20:22 |
| Vardamir | theadmin thank you for your help :) | 20:22 |
| urlin2u | freebird, DE is short for desktop environment :D | 20:23 |
| abhi01 | kurt_: you should see the GNOME desktop. it looks exactly like your ubuntu with the leg icon replaced with an ubuntus. check it http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/figures/gnome.png.en_GB | 20:23 |
| guntbert | ttf1: no, on a standard ubuntu you only can use sudo (sudo -s at most) - that prevents you from having a term running as root and exposing your system to the risk of you doing something foolish :-) | 20:23 |
| BarkingFish | you must be about the only distro which doesn't support setting a root password. there's no real reason to not tell people how to set one, not everyone who uses linux is a first timer liable to screw their system up! | 20:23 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: sounds logic :) | 20:24 |
| kurt_ | yeah but gnome doesnt need much changing tbh lol | 20:24 |
| insigne | tem alguem aí ? | 20:24 |
| BarkingFish | !pt | insigne | 20:24 |
| ubottu | insigne: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 20:24 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: it will take time until i understand whole ubuntu ^^ | 20:24 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ the only thing they added the unity interface in ubuntu 11.04 is complete fail | 20:24 |
| freebird | insigne, tamo ae tiu | 20:24 |
| kurt_ | yeah ? I cant say i havent used it yet | 20:25 |
| urlin2u | BarkingFish, nice rant, makes no sense thigh :D | 20:25 |
| urlin2u | though* | 20:25 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ i dont think why canonical should make money when the GNOME developers made the interface. what is the new thing that the ubuntu guys did ;) | 20:25 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ from the google ads lol | 20:25 |
| abhi01 | on firefox | 20:25 |
| insigne | gostaria de saber o que faz um sistema operacional mudar de idioma sem a permição do usuario | 20:25 |
| kurt_ | lol | 20:25 |
| guntbert | ttf1: do take your time - but please don't work as root when you are not doing any administrative work in your system | 20:26 |
| Guest5021 | urlin2u: nah,i asked cuz i though someone who knows more about computers could goive me a suggestion | 20:26 |
| ttf1 | guntbert: thanks and bye .. | 20:26 |
| guntbert | ttf1: :) | 20:26 |
| theadmin | Anyways, am off. | 20:26 |
| Kronsby | hello! | 20:27 |
| BarkingFish | urlin2u, to me it makes sense. If someone already knows the threats open when working as root and is not a new user to linux, why shouldn't they work as whatever they want to? :) | 20:27 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ do you see any point why canonical's founder should make bucks from the firefox google ads :D because everything was done by others, they only made a setup program and made a few wallpapers and themes :D and an ugly ubuntu sound at boot | 20:27 |
| Kronsby | My facebook feed is not working on broadcast accounts. Twitter is but what do? | 20:27 |
| urlin2u | BarkingFish, if you expose the root system to installs that do not need root is the danger just messing up the system, basically. | 20:28 |
| insigne | o que leva o sistema operacional a trocar de idioma automaticamente? | 20:28 |
| guntbert | abhi01: please keep to the topic of this channel | 20:28 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ my daughter said she felt like having a heart attack when she heard that noise at boot | 20:28 |

| kurt_ | i see your point abhi01 its unfair if the actual devolpers etc dont earn any profit either, but there is nothing i can do about that :s | 20:28 |
| abhi01 | kurt_ ;) | 20:29 |
| BarkingFish | urlin2u, I only got round having to type "sudo" before everything by creating bash shortcuts for a lot of the stuff I used. Once I worked out how to add a root account, I did so. | 20:29 |

| BarkingFish | my install command isn't sudo apt-get install now, it's sage -i | 20:30 |
| urlin2u | BarkingFish, I guess what your not understanding is there are linux releases that use root like puppy linux. Also root on linux is not the same as root in windows | 20:30 |

| infested999 | nouveau is not compatible with my graphics card, but every time I boot up Ubuntu it goes directly to X, so then I'm stuck because X is broken so it blocks my keyboard+mouse and all I see is artifacts. I know that the propreitary nvidia drivers work though, how do I make sure that x doesn't start up at boot? For some reason it's skipping the bootloader so I can't go into recovery mode, right now i'm in TinyCore so all I have to edit with | 20:33 |

| usuario_ | ola | 20:49 |

| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 20:49 |
| karmst | what can you use to do full backups of Ubuntu? | 20:49 |
| iceroot | shezri: doesnt sound like a ubuntu-related question | 20:49 |
| iceroot | !backup | karmst | 20:50 |
| ubottu | karmst: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 20:50 |
| karmst | with BMR restore to dissimilar hardware? | 20:50 |
| iceroot | karmst: bmr? | 20:51 |
| iceroot | karmst: you mean mbr? | 20:52 |
| karmst | bare metal recovery | 20:52 |
| iceroot | karmst: never heard of it, sorry | 20:52 |
| karmst | so you can restore to new hardware | 20:52 |
| karmst | it allows you to inject drivers during the restore | 20:52 |
| iceroot | karmst: linux != windows | 20:52 |
| iceroot | karmst: a installation can be run on every different system | 20:53 |
| stricb938445 | what is the name of the program that emulates windows driver? | 20:53 |
| iceroot | karmst: the need for a driver is set at boot | 20:53 |
| iceroot | karmst: so if you change hardware you dont have to uninstall drivers | 20:53 |
| iceroot | karmst: or install new drivers, normally they are all in the kernel and loaded at boot when needed | 20:53 |
| karmst | right I know this... But what I want is the ability to restore to new systems , virtual machines, etc... | 20:54 |
| karmst | and not have to config anything | 20:54 |
| iceroot | karmst: you dont have to config anything as i said | 20:54 |
| karmst | also would like if the backup would dedupe | 20:54 |
| iceroot | karmst: just start the system on a different hardware | 20:54 |
| Hot2Trot | what is the best way to make 'ls |less' show colors? | 20:55 |
| karmst | iceroot: I've ran into issues with that actually working | 20:55 |
| yeats | karmst: the kernel should just discover what drivers are needed wherever it is booted (assuming a generic kernel, which Ubuntu kernels are) | 20:55 |
| iceroot | karmst: like? | 20:55 |
| karmst | nic drivers don't work, video is all messed up | 20:55 |
| iceroot | karmst: nic is something different | 20:55 |
| karmst | so what I want is take entire backup from computer A | 20:56 |
| yeats | Hot2Trot: ls colors are set in ~/.bashrc, if that helps | 20:56 |
| karmst | apply it to computer B | 20:56 |
| iceroot | karmst: udev is setting up eth0 for a specific mac. if the mac is changed, udev will create eth1 instead of eth0 | 20:56 |
| karmst | and not have to do anything in order to get it to work | 20:56 |
| yeats | Hot2Trot: http://alicious.com/piping-ls-through-less-with-colors/ | 20:56 |
| karmst | like acronis for windows | 20:56 |
| Hot2Trot | yeats: I hae colors turned on for ls, but not for less is the problem, i don't know how to turn colors on for less | 20:56 |
| karmst | or ArcServe | 20:56 |

| Polah | dr_willis: The steam client, primarily chat. It takes several seconds to open the friends list and entered text appears 2-3 seconds after being typed. It works fine on 1.2 but I have 1.3 for a few other programs. It's only been slow since 1.3.26 or 1.3.27, I don't remember it being slow on 1.3.25 but I built and installed from source and the problem still remained. | 21:45 |

| regeya | I don't have problems with steam (I have to admit I bought a license for crossover games) but what's weird on mine is that I tried playing the first mass effect, and it runs dog-slow...if it's in full-screen or in focus. If I bring another window into focus, it runs smooth as silk... | 21:46 |
| MauriceJ | phaedra: Are you phaedra of ovidcons? | 21:47 |

| tigranes | Hi! I somehow completely messed up my Gnome desktop after loging into Ubuntu Classic. I accidentally removed the notification area, and now after adding it again it doesn't look the same and is missing things like time and mail stuff. And I can't log into Unity again, since it says the computer doesn't meet hardware requirements all of a sudden. Is there a way to fix this? | 21:48 |
| jeffcutsinger | The weird thing is that it doesn't do this for a newly created user on the same machine. | 21:48 |
| Polah | jeffcutsinger: Does that still occur if you do sudo ls twice as separate commands? | 21:48 |
| jeffcutsinger | Yep. | 21:48 |
| robin0800 | andrewh192, and an icon should appear in the launcher which you can right click and select keep in launcher | 21:48 |
| jeffcutsinger | It always prompts. | 21:48 |
| andrewh192 | robin0800: thanx.. i got it... | 21:48 |
| OerHeks | jeffcutsinger, combine commands like this > sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install <package> | 21:48 |
| OerHeks | gives one time pass question | 21:49 |
| Polah | jeffcutsinger: You could try changing your sudo timeout. | 21:49 |
| imark | this will only work if the first command executes without errors | 21:49 |
| jeffcutsinger | That would prompt 3 times (that's how I've done it). | 21:49 |
| jeffcutsinger | In sudoers, do you mean? | 21:49 |
| imark | other wise use sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:49 |
| Polah | Sudo shouldn't prompt for a password again for 15 minutes by default or until the terminal is closed, the time can be changed though. | 21:49 |
| OerHeks | jeffcutsinger, separated with ; or && ? | 21:49 |
| jeffcutsinger | Doesn't matter. | 21:50 |
| jeffcutsinger | It prompts every time, no matter what. | 21:50 |
| Polah | jeffcutsinger: Yes, visudo and then you'll need to add a line and a value to change the timeout, I don't know the line though. | 21:50 |
| Phoenix87 | bye! | 21:50 |
| jeffcutsinger | Polah: Wouldn't that affect all users? Only my user has this problem. | 21:50 |
| Polah | jeffcutsinger: Yes. Strange that only your user is affected, have you changed any groups or admin rights (including sudo) recently? | 21:51 |
| jeffcutsinger | Polah: no. I've been using this since the natty beta and it's always done this. At this point I'm kind of madly curious (it's not a big problem). | 21:52 |
| pr0zoid | dr_willis: given that i only have 1 drive 10gb thats not full (75% free) would partitioning it had using the new partition as my drive be an option? or does dd work at the drive level? | 21:53 |
| OerHeks | jeffcutsinger, sounds like a regression from that beta .. | 21:54 |
| Polah | jeffcutsinger: Run visudo and look at the lines for your username and usergroups, I believe it's possible to set timeout by user as well as globally | 21:54 |
| bluebomber | Hi, does anyone know how I can restore the appearance preferences? I installed gnome3, thinking I could have it alongside Unity, and to a certain degree I can, but I'm seeing lots of bleedover effects from gnome3 in Unity (lack of appearance preferences, e.g.). | 21:55 |
| Polah | bluebomber: Gnome3 isn't compatible with Natty, you'd be very lucky to get it working properly. | 21:55 |
| jeffcutsinger | Polah: I'm not seeing anything about timeout in there. I was thinking I might just up it to the maximum to give it a try. | 21:55 |
| bluebomber | Polah, I have Gnome3 working, errmmmm, acceptably, but I'm specifically asking about Unity now. | 21:55 |
| Polah | jeffcutsinger: Well, 15 is default. Perhaps set it for your user individually and see if that has an effect. | 21:56 |
| Polah | bluebomber: Yes, I'm just saying it's not supported and you'd be lucky to get it working, i.e. not messing with Unity when it's not supposed to. | 21:56 |
| bluebomber | Polah, I see. Let me see what I can manage. Thanks. | 21:57 |
| dr_willis | pr0ton, dd works at the device level. theres ways to combine tar/compression on the fly as you make the image to reduce its size. or you could resize the partition. | 21:57 |
| mun_ | hi | 21:57 |
| Polah | bluebomber: I'd recommend using ppa-purge to revert to gnome2 to avoid problems. gnome3 should be available for 11.10 when it's released. | 21:57 |
| mun_ | does anyone know what's wrong with the following: sh -c 'for ((i=10000; $i <= 38000; i+=2000)) do (echo $i); done;' i keep getting an error "Syntax error: Bad for loop variable" | 21:57 |

| Jaith | can someone help me troubleshoot a cron.daily/logrotate problem? | 21:58 |
| Polah | Jaith: Quite probably. | 21:58 |
| Jaith | Polah: cron never seems to finish. looks like it hangs running logrotate. i think this samhain logrotate conf is the problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/681415/ | 21:59 |

| Polah | Jaith: Could you provide your crontab as well please. | 21:59 |
| Jaith | Polah: basic idea is that cron.daily starts run-parts on the cron.daily folder and the process never completes, resulting in a whole slew of backed up run-parts processes. | 22:00 |
| Jaith | Polah: do you mean /etc/crontab? | 22:00 |

| ed_money | dr_willis: how can I test if it's a bad burn /cd? | 22:02 |
| Jaith | Polah: I think the problem is "/bin/kill -TTI" in the samhain logrotate conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/681415/ | 22:02 |
| clausen | eg: can I buy one of these http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-R-USB-1450-06-Factory-Re-Certified/dp/tech-data/B001NFQT24/ref=de_a_smtd to set up a network in ubuntu? | 22:03 |
| ed_money | dr_willis: I can load to win XP on the machine I'm trying to install ubuntu on, so that's available for diagnosing any possible hardware issuses | 22:03 |
| Jaith | Polah: When I use pkill to halt all those hung cron.daily and logrotate scripts that are piling up, cron daemon sends email saying "don't understand TTI flag" or something like that. | 22:03 |
| Jaith | Polah: snip from the start of email from cron daemon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/681434/ | 22:04 |

| Jaith | Polah: do you think my suspicions are correct about the process hanging? And unless I'm missing something, it would seem that the samhain prerotate command only runs 120 times before it moves on. Or is that hexadecimal? | 22:08 |
| dr_willis | jeffcutsinger, check permissions in your home dir/files.. it could be the sudo lock file got some how protected | 22:08 |
| Polah | Jaith: kill -9 <id> would kill it certainly, perhaps -STOP, which would stop it rather than ending the process and then you could use kill -9 later if you wanted | 22:08 |

| gumbo | Polah: because it's in the middle of 2 unassigned spaces | 22:55 |
| Jason2gs | On Ubuntu 10.04, how can you have two clocks on the GNOME panel displaying two different times? | 22:55 |
| Polah | gumbo: Oh I see, that's quite strange. Do you have two partitions either side? You could just extend those partitions into the free space without needing to move your swap | 22:56 |
| chase | Jason2gs: I'm pretty sure you could do it with 2 panels...not sure on one panel. | 22:56 |
| Jason2gs | Hm... | 22:56 |
| chase | I assume it won't let you just add the dock applet twice? | 22:56 |
| Jason2gs | No, you can. But adjusting the time changes it system-wide. | 22:57 |
| Polah | The clock gets it's time from your system time, not the clock applet itself so if you changed the time on one it would change system time and the other would change as well | 22:57 |
| gumbo | Polah: it's like unassigned -> swap -> unassigned -> partition | 22:57 |
| Polah | I believe if you add more locations it shows time individually for them | 22:57 |
| noob | polah, i think that is what i need, my computer has an 13 core with integrated intel graphics and discrete ati graphics, but i have no idea how to switch between the two or which i need to set it at during startup or how switching during startup works. it says to put a script into /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/hybrid_boot_options but i don't even know how to do that | 22:57 |
| Polah | gumbo: Oh, I see. I guess you want to move swap closer to the end and then extend the partition into the free space left behind by your swap partition? | 22:58 |
| gumbo | Pola: yes | 22:58 |
| Polah | noob: 13 core? I know you can get 12 core processors, but I don't know about 13 lol | 22:58 |
| noob | I3* sorry | 22:59 |
| help_meplz | hello | 22:59 |
| Polah | gumbo: Boot a LiveCD, delete your swap partition, remake it at the beginning of the disk, assuming that the free space is between the beginning and the swap and then extend your system partition | 22:59 |
| help_meplz | i need help | 22:59 |
| KLine | help_meplz: with what? | 22:59 |
| help_meplz | which unbuntu do i install on my netbook | 23:00 |
| Knuxgen | ubuntu for netbook | 23:00 |
| SoItBegins2 | Hi, I just installed Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro. I've gotten a triple boot working (OSX/Windows/Ubuntu), with the help of an app called rEFIt. The thing is, When I attempt to boot from rEFIt into Ubuntu, rEFIt brings up GRUB, which gives me a big menu of all 3 OSs I have installed. | 23:00 |
| help_meplz | my netbook is messed up it says disk error occured but if i installed ubuntu would it work? | 23:00 |
| Polah | help_meplz: Any one you want. From 11.04 there is no netbook edition. | 23:00 |
| gumbo | Polah: but couldn't I do it without a LiveCD? | 23:00 |
| SoItBegins2 | Is there I way I can set GRUB to skip the menu and load Ubuntu automatically? | 23:00 |
| robin0800 | help_meplz, desktop | 23:00 |
| bazhang | !une | help_meplz | 23:00 |
| ubottu | help_meplz: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. | 23:00 |
| help_meplz | so what should i download for netbook kubunto netbook remix? | 23:00 |
| Polah | gumbo: You could work on your swap, but you couldn't extend your system partition and you could unmount it to do it from inside the system | 23:01 |
| SoItBegins2 | Also, there's no chance I'll do any damage to my computer later with this boot setup, is there? | 23:01 |
| bazhang | help_meplz, you just asked for ubuntu, you want kubuntu instead? | 23:01 |
| Polah | gumbo: Back up your data before extending your system partition. | 23:01 |
| help_meplz | i want to know which would work on my netbook | 23:01 |
| help_meplz | because my netbook is currently dead | 23:01 |
| bazhang | help_meplz, they all work | 23:01 |
| bazhang | help_meplz, thats a hardware issue, nothing can bring that back | 23:02 |
| gumbo | Polah: yes, I'd need / to be unmounted. But I could still move swap without unmounting it? | 23:02 |
| help_meplz | so ubuntu 11.04 desktop will work on my netbook? | 23:02 |
| robin0800 | SoItBegins2, grub does not show a menu by default unless you are dual booting | 23:02 |
| bulle | Uppgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 beta doesnt give me LightDM but keeps GDM, is this expected behaviour ? if so, why ? | 23:02 |
| SoItBegins2 | As I said, I'm triple-booting. | 23:02 |
| bazhang | help_meplz, if the hardware is dead? no | 23:02 |
| help_meplz | it isnt dead | 23:02 |
| Knuxgen | i'm trying to figure out on the third day what to do with http://i.imgur.com/tfB1z.jpg "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" problem, went through zillions of forums with no help, CD boots but doesn't show the Welcome screen, the same happens if I choose to TRY | 23:02 |
| Polah | help_meplz, Like I said, there is no netbook remix any more. There is just "Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop" and "Ubuntu 11.04 Server". | 23:02 |
| help_meplz | it says a disk error has occured press ctrl alt del to restart | 23:02 |
| SoItBegins2 | But I'm using rEFIt as my boot menu. rEFIt calls GRUB, and I just want GRUB to load Ubuntu silently. | 23:02 |
| Polah | gumbo: No, you'd have to unmount it to move it. | 23:03 |
| bulle | help_meplz: so, broken harddrive then ? | 23:03 |
| bazhang | Polah, he wants kubuntu netbook remix now | 23:03 |
| help_meplz | ok please i want to know if i should then download kubuntu because it is not netbooks | 23:03 |
| help_meplz | kubuntu? | 23:03 |
| gumbo | Polah: Oh. Thanks | 23:03 |
| bazhang | help_meplz, sure go ahead. | 23:03 |
| chase | Does anyone have any recent experience with the Catalyst drivers? I found a thousand people on the forum saying a year ago that catalyst might surpass Nvidia but no recent posts about it... | 23:03 |

| help_meplz | im asking if it would work | 23:04 |
| bulle | chase: works very well for me, thats basicly all i can say | 23:04 |
| SoItBegins2 | What's startupmanager? | 23:04 |
| bazhang | help_meplz, try it and see | 23:04 |

| Gunther0 | Hello, im from downstream mint, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for the upstream indicator aplet memory leak bug? I came to check on my box and found the program using 3.4GiB | 23:07 |
| bazhang | Gunther0, mint? | 23:08 |
| Gunther0 | it says you have fix released, but I was wondering if I could get a .deb of that to apply it to mint. | 23:08 |
| WinCamXP | linux mitn? | 23:08 |
| Gunther0 | yes | 23:08 |
| WinCamXP | thats what i installed onto my sis's netbook the next room over | 23:08 |
| bulle | WinCamXP: you just want to use the jar command, should be included in the java sdk, it works similar to tar, just read documentation | 23:09 |
| Gunther0 | Mint apparently hasn't applied your fix for that bug, so I was wondering if I could apply it manually. | 23:09 |
| bazhang | Gunther0, thats not downstream. its not supported here. check launchpad for bugs | 23:09 |
| WinCamXP | bulle: the javadoc? | 23:09 |
| bazhang | !bugs | Gunther0 | 23:09 |
| ubottu | Gunther0: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 23:09 |
| WinCamXP | bulle: where is that documentation? ubuntu docs or javadocs? | 23:09 |
| Gunther0 | linux mint is a ubuntu downstream. | 23:09 |
| bulle | WinCamXP: javadocs | 23:09 |
| bulle | WinCamXP: its a standard command of the sdk, its available for windows, linux, osx etc | 23:10 |
| help_meplz | ok i am looking it up and whas a live usb stick i bought a 2 gb flash drive | 23:10 |
| help_meplz | is that enough? | 23:10 |
| Gunther0 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-applet/+bug/369539 the bug is listed here, but I can't use the ubuntu update service, so I was wondering if I can update via a .deb or something. | 23:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 369539 in indicator-applet (Ubuntu) "Unreasonably high memory usage" [Low,Fix released] | 23:10 |
| bazhang | Gunther0, it's still not supported here. check launchpad for bugs as I indicated | 23:10 |
| bazhang | help_meplz, yes | 23:11 |
| Gunther0 | Leme be simple. I'm asking someone to tell me how to borrow ubuntu's .deb files. | 23:11 |
| Gunther0 | So I can patch my os. | 23:11 |
| Gunther0 | With your fixes | 23:11 |
| yeats | Gunther0: you can download them from packages.ubuntu.com | 23:11 |
| yeats | Gunther0: but no guarantees of them working (of course) ;-) | 23:12 |

| bazhang | noob, which version of ubuntu | 23:16 |
| BlueEagle | clint_: nope | 23:16 |

| bazhang | noob, give us some details | 23:16 |
| hidensoft | clint_: i'm gnome user but i don't like it ? | 23:16 |
| hidensoft | ! | 23:16 |
| BlueEagle | clint_: It's probably a bit better than the quality of your question though. | 23:16 |
| clint_ | ok probley why i'm having so many problems lol | 23:17 |
| noob | gnome3 is so-so after getting used to it, not stable at all though and hopefully alot will be added in extensions | 23:17 |
| noob | or in further development | 23:17 |
| chase | clint_ Vague question. Good? Gnome 3 is very different. Useful for some people. Not a fan myself. | 23:17 |
| chase | Xfce 4.8 is where its at. ;) | 23:17 |
| rypervenche | Using Xfce4.8 here. Waiting for a Gnome 2.x fork. | 23:18 |
| chase | 4.8 is better imho than a gnome 2 fork. Xfce is so much simpler in its configuration and setup. | 23:18 |

| byteman | I'm currently running a production Apache/PHP/MySql CentOS 5 but am concerned by the lack of timely security fixes - how does Ubuntu handle security patches? | 23:21 |

| BlueEagle | hidensoft: Do you get anything from: lsmod|grep snd-seq | 23:25 |
| hidensoft | BlueEagle: no dude | 23:25 |
| BlueEagle | hidensoft: How about: sudo modprobe snd_seq | 23:25 |
| BlueEagle | ...and then do the lsmod |grep snd_seq again. | 23:26 |
| BlueEagle | hidensoft: also check if /dev/snd/seq exist | 23:27 |
| hidensoft | BlueEagle http://pastie.org/2478248 | 23:28 |
| BlueEagle | hidensoft: does /dev/sequencer exist now? | 23:28 |
| hidensoft | /dev/snd/seq is not exist | 23:28 |
| hidensoft | /dev/sequencer is not exist | 23:29 |
| BlueEagle | I see that you didn't grep for snd_seq the first time around. When you check if it exist I assume you do `ls /dev/sequencer` right? | 23:30 |
| hidensoft | i do anything that you say , maybe i miss that in paste | 23:31 |
| BlueEagle | hidensoft: Well, I just need to know how you know that /dev/sequencer doesn't exist. Purely taking tuxguitars word for it is not necessarily good enough. Especailly when sudoing it. | 23:32 |
| hidensoft | lsmod|grep snd-seq : have no output | 23:32 |
| BlueEagle | that's snd_seq not snd-seq | 23:32 |
| BlueEagle | my bad on that one. | 23:32 |

| bungholio | my friend installed wubi and installed ubuntu /win7 - and when he boots into Ubuntu the screen flickers black and white for a second and doesn't boot, any idea? | 23:36 |
| BlueEagle | hidensoft: That is really strange. When you have the module you should have the device nodes. | 23:36 |
| bungholio | -not sure if it matters but he installed it on his laptop. | 23:36 |
| bazhang | noob, thats the optimus system? which graphics card are you trying to use? | 23:36 |

| debugnet | BlueEagle: hidensoft is have this problem because tuxguitar can't be found or is not installed... | 23:41 |
| hidensoft | BlueEagle: http://pastie.org/2478299 | 23:41 |
| WinCamXP | I understand how to add files to .jar files, but how would I completely remove one? | 23:41 |
| debugnet | WinCamXP: unzip the jar file and then rezip the file again. that's all it is really. | 23:41 |
| hidensoft | 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05) | 23:41 |
| WinCamXP | great, the .jar file has sixty million class files in it | 23:41 |
| WinCamXP | maybe ill make the script extract the files into a folder | 23:41 |
| hidensoft | and this : 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) | 23:42 |
| BlueEagle | debugnet: Are you certain of that? Because tuxguitar does not create /dev/sequnecer | 23:42 |
| WinCamXP | edit whats in that folder | 23:42 |
| WinCamXP | (oops forgot about enter punctuation) and then put everything back in the jar in its modified state | 23:42 |
| WinCamXP | i can use wildcards (*), correct? | 23:42 |
| debugnet | BlueEagle: according to the pastie/pastebin output that is what the sudo command is getting. either his environment variables for the path is not setup or it is not installed at all. | 23:42 |
| hidensoft | debugnet: i think problem is something about MIDI , because tuxguitar use that | 23:43 |
| WinCamXP | debugnet: so I can move everything inside the .jar with a wildcard (*) into a folder, then delete the .jar, modify what's in the folder and recreate the .jar with the contents of the folder? | 23:44 |
| BlueEagle | debugnet: No, the command processes just find but the application fails because /dev/sequencer does not exist. That is unless you know something I don't. | 23:44 |

| BlueEagle | WinCamXP: Well the ' should be ` but otherwise yes. You can specify a filename as well, but if dirtocopyto is an existing directory the file name will be the same. | 23:49 |
| debugnet | BlueEagle: i don't understand that particular application but i do understand bash very well and that error message is what you get when it can't find the program you are trying to run. | 23:49 |
| WinCamXP | what i was planning on doing was copying the jar to an isolated folder, extracting it, doing all the operations in that folder, recompressing the files back into a .jar and replacing the .jar back in the first folder with the modified one, would that work? | 23:49 |

| BlueEagle | hidensoft: http://tuxguitar.herac.com.ar/forum/5/1277/no-sound-in-debian-after-deletion-of-pulse/ could be helpful. | 23:52 |
| Polah | bazhang: They have specific repos for wine? I have the development ppa which gave me 1.3.27, but I need 1.3.25 for some program compatibility and building from source failed | 23:52 |
| WinCamXP | i can use ~ for the user's home folder instead of /home/username, correct? | 23:52 |

| confezzor | hi all...i know Canonical wanted Ubuntu to be low powered but holy crap it's not..i know it's in beta now 11.10 but my cpu is retarded but my RAM is great at 380 to 560MBs...i really hope it's fixed by final | 23:53 |
| yekoms | its a widescreen notebook if that matters. | 23:53 |
| WinCamXP | yekoms: what GPU is it? sounds like a driver issue | 23:54 |
| yekoms | nvidia | 23:54 |
| confezzor | Nvidia | 23:54 |
| yekoms | 630m | 23:54 |
| Polah | bazhang: Okay, I got a .dev for 1.3.25, if I just run it through software centre will it overwrite or should I remove 1.3.27 first? | 23:54 |
| xangua | confezzor: then don't use beta releases | 23:54 |
| WinCamXP | google something like this "nvidia 630m ubuntu" | 23:54 |
| WinCamXP | see if any relevant problems come up | 23:54 |
| cystic | everytime I try to install software with ubuntu software center it says failed to download packages, check internet connection. but I am obviously connected to the internet. | 23:54 |
| confezzor | no and 11.04 does the same | 23:54 |
| JasonGriffee | can anyone tell me how to boost bass in ubuntu 11.04? | 23:55 |
| xangua | confezzor: for low resources there is xubuntu and lubuntu | 23:55 |
| Polah | yekoms: Try installing and then enable the proprietary drivers for it. When I install my plymouth logo is distorted using generic drivers. | 23:55 |
| cystic | what can I do to fix it? | 23:55 |
| Polah | JasonGriffee: I believe Banshee has a built in equaliser plugin | 23:55 |
| BlueEagle | Polah: If you don't know the answer you should read up on package management before you use anything out side of the repo. | 23:55 |

| confezzor | no my cpu is over 50% without doing anything | 23:55 |
| bazhang | confezzor, #ubuntu+1 for 11.10 | 23:55 |
| confezzor | on 11.04 as well | 23:55 |
| hidensoft | sometime i think about Suicide | 23:55 |
| BlueEagle | Polah: Oh, you're down grading. Didn't see that at once. | 23:55 |
| yekoms | all the google responces i found is to configure it. not fixing the distortion | 23:56 |
| BlueEagle | Polah: When downgrading I always uninstall when possible. | 23:56 |
| confezzor | my PC can handle anything..just wondering why it's using 50% and more cpu power when i'm not even doing anything | 23:56 |
| bazhang | Polah, I'd remove then install | 23:56 |
| JasonGriffee | Polah: No Good, I need a system-wide program because I listen to Rhapsody. | 23:56 |
| noob | hidensoft: its okay, log out of this room and youll feel better | 23:56 |
| WinCamXP | so if i have a .jar file in a directory and I use 'jar xf name.jar', it will place every file inside the jar into the current directory? | 23:56 |
| Polah | Hmm, I'll do that then | 23:56 |
| bazhang | confezzor, #ubuntu+1 for oneiric as I just said | 23:56 |
| Polah | Best to be on the safe side anyway | 23:56 |
| BlueEagle | hidensoft: o.0 That sounds drastic. | 23:57 |

| soreau | WinCamXP: If you want to experiment, make a copy of the directory first (a backup) | 23:57 |

| Polah | What's the command to check package policies? | 23:58 |
| WinCamXP | is there a way in bash to have a 'press any key to continue' pause or something similar? | 23:58 |
| === Sudo is now known as Sudo435362 | ||
| hidensoft | BlueEagle: no , i try now | 23:58 |
| soreau | WinCamXP: Otherwise, try googling about how to use jar files | 23:58 |
| Polah | nevermind, I found it. | 23:58 |
| hidensoft | pooof , tuxguitar-alsa | 23:58 |
| soreau | Polah: apt-cache policy pkg-name | 23:58 |
| hidensoft | tuxguitar-alsa is already the newest version. | 23:58 |
| WinCamXP | well, since the jar command is apparently cross-platform due to it being part of java, i could make a windows batch script that does the same thing? | 23:59 |
