| w0_ | szal: didn't change anything .. I did a quick googlesearch and tried a program called startup mangager, and when I ran it it showed my startup res as being what it was before .. also, the options *it* gives me for resolution don't give me any widescreen res's. =| ?? any ideas? | 00:01 |
| w0_ | meaning I did that, and it didn't change haha | 00:01 |
| szal | [01:54:18] <szal> w0_: and remove the hashtag in front of the line, otherwise it won't do anything | 00:01 |
| w0_ | I did .. lemme double check | 00:01 |
| urlin2u | w0_, startup manager is abad idea it will not change the line default with kernel updates, what release are you running. | 00:02 |
| jmburgess | Hello I had previously disabled Intel virtualization support in my BIOS and now I enabled it and I want to install virtualbox and install a OS X guest. So I have installed vb and when I open up virtualbox it says I don't have hardware virt enabled | 00:03 |

| Dollz | and is it important ? | 00:17 |
| daffy_ | i hhad installed i think cs4 in wine and it ran ok | 00:17 |
| Dollz | because I'm installing something that will prevent enabling chroot SSH users again if I said no now | 00:17 |
| urlin2u | DonJuan, sounds like you got the sp1 in windows, the reload of the mbr should work just read caerefully. | 00:18 |

| edbian | BourneSSH: process id of the python program | 00:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ps ax | grep python | 00:28 |

| PatrickC_TP | how do I install the kre7? | 00:38 |
| PatrickC_TP | jre7* | 00:38 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex I'm pretty sure it's because 2.6 is the default version. You can install python 3.1 from the Software Center, but don't remove python 2.6. It'll mess stuff up. | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | You can have python 2.6 and 3.0 both installed at teh same time i imagine chaospsychex is why. | 00:39 |

| chaospsychex | why will it mess stuff up if i remove 2.6? | 00:41 |
| chaospsychex | ubuntu uses 2.6 for stuff? | 00:41 |
| PatrickC_TP | Dr_Willis: I need sub-java.. and I tried to install sun-java7-jre, but it didn't work | 00:41 |
| PatrickC_TP | this computer is offline though, so I can't use apt-get | 00:41 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex Yes. Programs written with python might freak out. Ubuntu Forums has a lot of threads dealing with people uninstalling 2.6. | 00:42 |
| chaospsychex | when i do 'python' from the terminal it's 2.6 | 00:42 |
| cmdbbq | ubuntu is freezing up on me, like the whole shebang. I can't even swithc to a virtual terminal. seems to happen when firefox tries to connect to the net, but i think it has to do with video drivers/xorg. | 00:42 |
| chaospsychex | how do i invoke 3.1 ? | 00:42 |
| Pici | chaospsychex: python3 is the binary name | 00:43 |
| cmdbbq | please help! | 00:43 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex I'm not sure, but I think it's 'python3.1' | 00:43 |
| yeats | cmdbbq: can you ssh in from another machine? | 00:43 |
| chaospsychex | yup its 'python3.1' | 00:43 |
| chaospsychex | ne1 in here use 'guake' ? | 00:44 |
| scorchgeek | chaospsychex: I have | 00:44 |
| chaospsychex | i freaking love it | 00:45 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex I've heard of it. I'm thinking of installing | 00:45 |
| chaospsychex | it's nice | 00:45 |
| puffin | What is it? | 00:45 |
| elgruntox | Hello! im trying to get my external monitor to display its proper resolution (1080p) and for some reason ubuntu is tellin me that the max res is 1024x768 | 00:45 |
| elgruntox | how do i fix this :( | 00:45 |
| scorchgeek | I used it for a while, but I find it kind of unnecessary because I always have multiple terminals anyway and can just bounce to the corner of my screen to get a new one | 00:45 |
| cmdbbq | yeats: yes | 00:45 |
| scorchgeek | elgruntox: fix what? | 00:45 |
| yeats | cmdbbq: what does 'top' say? | 00:45 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex If it's the pop-down terminal thing, I just use ctrl-alt-t instead. Opens up the terminal. | 00:45 |
| chaospsychex | http://guake.org/ | 00:45 |
| cmdbbq | yeats: although the machine is not frozen right now. I will reproduce the bug and see | 00:46 |
| elgruntox | scorchgeek: the. resolution | 00:46 |
| chaospsychex | what do you mean 'bounce' to the corner of your screen ? | 00:46 |
| elgruntox | its a 1920x1080 monitor | 00:46 |
| scorchgeek | chaospsychex: there's a compiz thing that makes corners "active" | 00:46 |
| Aszurom | So, I just installed 11.04. Got flgrx installed for my ATI 6970 card, and oddly Compiz effects don't seem to be available. I'm sorta newbish so I assume I'd enable them under "Appearance" but visual effects tab isn't present | 00:46 |
| scorchgeek | and you can have them start a program | 00:46 |
| chaospsychex | oh i don't have compiz, thats the cube thing aint it? | 00:46 |
| scorchgeek | chaospsychex: and lots of other effects and options | 00:46 |
| scorchgeek | like that :) | 00:46 |
| iwantfroyo | @Aszurom install ccsm | 00:46 |
| scorchgeek | elgruntox: sorry, I didn't see your first post | 00:47 |
| elgruntox | its okay | 00:47 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex Compiz controls the cube thing. It controls a lot of other stuff too. | 00:47 |
| chaospsychex | compiz is a WM? | 00:47 |
| Aszurom | iwantfroyo, thanks | 00:47 |
| chaospsychex | replaces meta-city when you install it ? | 00:47 |
| Aszurom | I'm shocked it's not defaultly installed | 00:47 |
| cmdbbq | yeats: the machine is frozen, Xorg is using 100% cpu | 00:47 |
| scorchgeek | elgruntox: as far as a solution, the only thing I could tell you is to update your graphics driver, but I don't know if that will help | 00:47 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex no it isn't. It draws the desktop (along with nautilus). [I think] | 00:47 |
| scorchgeek | I also don't remember how to do that | 00:48 |
| elgruntox | scorchgeek: how would I go about doing that for my intel 3000 | 00:48 |
| elgruntox | i thought ubuntu wouldve asked me to update or something | 00:48 |
| yeats | cmdbbq: memory full? swapping? high system load? | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | compiz is a window manager,. you use compiz or metacity.. :L) | 00:48 |
| iwantfroyo | @Aszurom if you give ccsm to people who don't know what they're doing, they usually break it. If you're using Unity, be very careful. Very easy to break it. | 00:48 |
| iwantfroyo | @Dr_Willis I thought Ubuntu's wm was gnome-wm. I didn't know compiz could act as one. | 00:49 |
| scorchgeek | yes, last time I played with it I managed to make windows have no title bar, I fixed that and you couldn't drag them around the screen | 00:49 |
| scorchgeek | fortunately a bit of googling fixed it | 00:49 |
| chaospsychex | what was the problem? | 00:49 |
| scorchgeek | for some reason these features are all plugins that can be turned off | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | iwantfroyo: compiz is a window manager, as is metacity.. theres no 'gnome-wm' its 'metacity' by default for no eyecandy. compiz for all effects | 00:49 |
| puffin | Can someone help me configure lm_sensors? | 00:49 |
| partybros | dirty ole ubuntu, so hot | 00:49 |

| === partybros is now known as Tbay_JohnnyBlaze | ||
| Aszurom | iwantfroyo, yeah it's just that without compiz enabled for some reason my windows feel chuggy moving them around | 00:50 |
| cmdbbq | yeats: no, no swap in use, average amount of memory in use. system load average. | 00:50 |
| iwantfroyo | @Dr_Willis If you go into gconf-editor, the same area that lists gnome-panel as the panel lists gnome-wm as the wm. | 00:50 |
| Tbay_JohnnyBlaze | yo yo yo im reppin tbay yo | 00:50 |
| iwantfroyo | @Dr_Willis I think it's a part of Gnome | 00:50 |

| doodmang | how can I check if I have a bluetooth antenna in my laptop through ubuntu? | 00:51 |
| chaospsychex | how do i use the 'cube' thing of compiz? what do i hit? | 00:51 |
| iwantfroyo | @Dr_Willis Actually I think you're right. Gnome-wm must control the theme. Sorry. | 00:51 |
| scorchgeek | the same as to switch virtual desktops | 00:51 |
| scorchgeek | but you have to set it up in ccsm first | 00:51 |
| xangua | chaospsychex: if you use natty, there is a guide on omg!ubuntu! blog | 00:51 |
| doodmang | chaospsychex, you can use Ctrl Alt Left or Right | 00:51 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex Install ccsm, then activate "Rotate Cube" and "Desktop Cube" | 00:52 |
| urlin2u | chaospsychex, be careful find a web link for instructions. | 00:52 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex to trigger it, switch desktops with ctrl-arrow. | 00:52 |

| Tbay_JohnnyBlaze | #list | 00:52 |
| chaospsychex | its 4 2d windows | 00:52 |
| iwantfroyo | @chaospsychex you have to activate it in ccsm. | 00:53 |

| chaospsychex | what else can you do with compiz? | 00:57 |
| chaospsychex | besides the cube thing | 00:57 |
| scorchgeek | look through the settings manager and see :) | 00:57 |
| === jason is now known as jasef | ||
| iwantfroyo | chaospsychex, you can do stuff like enable/disable window snap, so on. | 00:57 |
| xangua | lost of things, play with it chaospsychex | 00:57 |
| === Fitty-cent is now known as ThatNeoKid | ||
| chaospsychex | what is 'window snap' ? | 00:57 |
| ThatNeoKid | I Turned My Computer Into The Matrix | 00:57 |
| iwantfroyo | chaospsychex, If you look for compiz in Synaptic, you can get more plugins that well let you do stuff like make windows burn up when they close. | 00:57 |
| ThatNeoKid | hey neo, im neo | 00:58 |
| ThatNeoKid | stop stealing my neo | 00:58 |
| xangua | !ot | ThatNeoKid | 00:58 |
| ubottu | ThatNeoKid: #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! | 00:58 |
| chaospsychex | iwantfroyo: sounds sick | 00:58 |
| iwantfroyo | chaospsychex, window snap is what happens when you bring a window close to an edge. The borders light up with yellow, and you can make a window fit perfectly into half a screen, or full screen by bumping it on the top. | 00:58 |
| photon | windows burning up when they close? sounds just like my real last home. | 01:00 |
| iwantfroyo | photon, it's an effect. You can also make them explode, trickle, etc. | 01:01 |
| chaospsychex | omg cairo dock is SICK! | 01:01 |
| ionite | hi. anyways to disable unity? | 01:01 |
| photon | iwantfroyo: is this installed by default in compiz? | 01:01 |
| urlin2u | !classic | ionite | 01:01 |
| ubottu | ionite: 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". | 01:01 |
| iwantfroyo | photon: No. Search Synaptic for compiz, and you should find a package with a name similar to compiz-plugins (can't remember). | 01:02 |
| photon | iwantfroyo: ok | 01:02 |
| photon | thanks | 01:02 |
| iwantfroyo | photon: It'll give you a lot of other cool stuff, too. | 01:02 |
| iwantfroyo | chaospsychex: You might also want to check out AWN (avant-window-navigator in software center), if you get tired of the zoom effect and small icons. | 01:02 |
| noah | hey | 01:03 |
| iwantfroyo | noah, welcome. | 01:03 |
| === winut_ is now known as winut | ||
| noah | I was wondering if there is an easy way to install an xfce theme on xubuntu | 01:04 |
| iwantfroyo | noah, can't you install them via Synaptic? | 01:04 |
| cmdbbq | so, xserver is panicking when i launch firefox and, although I can ssh in whille the machine is frozen, i can effect only limited change, ie the shutdown command has no apparent effect. | 01:04 |
| noah | I havent tried | 01:04 |
| iwantfroyo | @noah That's probably the best way. I don't know how to install external themes, since I don't use XFCE, but Synaptic should add a few themes. | 01:05 |
| noah | I extract them (ive only tried once) and I just keep extracting, the package seems to be stuck as a tar.gz or as just .tar | 01:05 |
| chaospsychex | iwantfroyo: i installed the extra compiz plugins, how do i configure them or turn them on ? | 01:05 |
| elgruntox | well poo so much for ubuntu just working for me | 01:05 |
| ionite | hi. is ubuntu heavy for a net book atom processory with only 2gb of ram? | 01:05 |
| elgruntox | wish i could display my damn native resolution | 01:05 |
| xangua | noah: both xfce and gnome use gtk | 01:06 |
| iwantfroyo | chaospsychex, they should turn on by themselves. Just go into ccsm, and look around. | 01:06 |
| noah | ok | 01:06 |
| iwantfroyo | chaospsychex, You should have a few new sections, and more window management options and effects. | 01:06 |
| chaospsychex | yeah i see it | 01:06 |
| noah | Does anyone know an easy way to patch a broadcom B43 (chipset 43:12) driver for aircrack? | 01:07 |
| urlin2u | ionite, should not be thats what I'm using. | 01:07 |
| aeon-ltd | ionite: yes, but ubuntu classic less so, lubuntu or xubuntu would be better | 01:07 |
| xangua | noah: you won't get aircrack support here | 01:07 |
| noah | where then? | 01:07 |
| noah | nvm, the aircrack website got some channels | 01:07 |
| aeon-ltd | ionite: anything processing or graphic heavy (compiz/unity) would cause some slowdowns, | 01:07 |
| ionite | aeon-ltd: lubuntu and xubuntu are XFCE? what about kDE? why would ubuntu be heavy for a netbook? | 01:07 |
| elgruntox | anyone else have issues with intel 3000 and external monitors | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu is LXDE ionite | 01:08 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, Unity might be, but it'll probably default you into Gnome Classic, which should work fine. If it doesn't default you into there, you should probably consider trying it anyways. | 01:08 |
| matttheguy | hi guys is this the write room to get help with Ubuntu? I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless network. | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: my netbook was able to run kde and gnome just fine. some heavy eyecandy effects might bog it down a bit. but it did work decently well. | 01:08 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, lubuntu is LXDE, xubuntu is XFCE, kubuntu is KDE. Ubuntu's default DE is Gnome with the Unity shell, which is a little heavy for older/weaker systems. | 01:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: for the lightest desktop = lubuntu. | 01:09 |
| ionite | so i guess ubuntu is not for me.. | 01:09 |
| yeats | ionite: I run regular ubuntu on a netbook without any problems - FYI | 01:09 |
| urlin2u | ionite, those are opinions your getting not actual use I have that set up with unity and the cube runs sbapy. | 01:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: ubuntu ran fine on my netbook. | 01:09 |
| urlin2u | snappy* | 01:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: only real issue was watching HD video files. that was a bit much for it. | 01:09 |
| ionite | does lubuntu gets the same support in channel ubuntu? | 01:09 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, It works perfectly fine, even on the normal Ubuntu installation (it'll put you into Gnome without the Unity shell, which is fast, and in my opinion, better) | 01:10 |
| xangua | so the answer is try it yourself...... | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: the layout of programs and menus are diffent. but its supported in #lubuntu mainly. or here. | 01:10 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, If you want something really fast, try Lubuntu. | 01:10 |
| elgruntox | ionite: just dont use an external monitor!! | 01:10 |
| urlin2u | elgruntox, wrong. | 01:10 |
| xangua | iwantfroyo: if you want amazingly fast use terminal ;) | 01:10 |
| elgruntox | right! | 01:10 |
| ionite | so i'll just off my unity and 3d settings right? | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I imagine lubuntu will get more use by more people in the future as the backlash against gnome3 and unity grows :) | 01:10 |
| photon | I HATE UNITY. | 01:11 |
| photon | had to be said. | 01:11 |
| iwantfroyo | xangua, I've used cli exclusively on Arch. It really is nice, but I like being able to see the Ubuntu Forums pictures. | 01:11 |
| === quu|away is now known as Quutar | ||
| valorin | I LOVE UNITY. | 01:11 |
| valorin | had to be said. | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | photon: its a work in progress.. in the 11.10 release - its gaining some nice features. | 01:11 |
| * photon strongly disagrees with valorin, but respects his/her opinion. | 01:12 | |
| iwantfroyo | photon, Unity is a relatively new project. If you want to see a really beautiful Unity, try Oneiric (11.10). Can't guarantee stability, however. It's in beta. | 01:12 |
| ionite | Dr_Willis: what's bad about gnom3 and unity? | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: forceing me to 'work' in ways i dont want to. :) | 01:12 |
| ionite | so ubuntu have got a obstacle now which is unity? | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | and lots of little quirks... | 01:13 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, There's nothing wrong with them. They just use a lot of graphics resources. | 01:13 |
| ionite | iwantfroyo: i'm only with 256 mb. | 01:13 |
| photon | iwantfroyo: hmm ok | 01:13 |
| * valorin strongly disagrees with photon, but respects his/her opinion. | 01:13 | |
| Evollana | Jesus fucking Christ Ubuntu so FUCKING MEGA sucks. Unity is a damn JOKE. Use Debian or Arch Linux!!! | 01:13 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, graphics memory? | 01:13 |
| valorin | :) | 01:13 |
| Evollana | suck my cock faggots | 01:13 |
| Evollana | kick | 01:13 |
| Evollana | kick | 01:13 |
| FloodBot1 | Evollana: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: when you have 30+ yrs of using systems.. and then suddendly they change things for ways that dont seem to make things any better.. its an issue. | 01:13 |
| W3ird_N3rd | could I suggest somewhere what compiling options should be used for software in the Ubuntu repo's? maybe I should use brainstorm for that? | 01:14 |
| photon | Dr_Willis++ | 01:14 |
| chaospsychex | iwantfroyo: i do i invoke the 3dwindow ? | 01:14 |
| * racho disagrees with valorin and photon, but respect their opinions while working in G-Shell | 01:14 | |
| ionite | Dr_Willis: alright... sounds not very friendly | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: depends on what you m ean by friendly. :) thats a vague term - always has been | 01:14 |
| urlin2u | Dr_Willis, it is a opinion. | 01:14 |
| yurgt1_ | hola a todos, alguien en español? | 01:14 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, They're not very customizable, so you shouldn't go for them if you like customization. However, they are VERY efficient, having stuff like universal searches, and so on. | 01:14 |
| ionite | btw how do i install p7zip package? | 01:14 |
| szal | !es | yurgt1_ | 01:14 |
| ubottu | yurgt1_: 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. | 01:14 |
| photon | it's not just with Ubuntu. A lot of software developers recently seem to think "Hey, we run out of ideas, so instead of making the existing system better and bug-free, let's just invent something completely new, just for the sake of it." | 01:15 |
| W3ird_N3rd | mencoder should really be compiled with twolame.. I can encode it myself, but it would be more convenient if it was just compiled in by default | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Im getting so used to how my android phone works.. i want a desktop more like it. :) | 01:15 |
| W3ird_N3rd | *encode=compile | 01:15 |
| dean | hi | 01:16 |
| photon | dean: hi | 01:16 |
| buguldey | Hmm. mdadm seems to be buggy wrt OutOfMemory conditions. I installed a raid level 1 array /dev/md0 with 2 disks: "/dev/sdb" "missing". Formatted as reiserFS. THEN, some apps triggered O O M while I was sleeping. I rebooted with Ubuntu dialog for Shutdown/Reboot. After bootup, the file system of /dev/md0 became "Unknown" as palimpsest shows it. Something has also changed the device name from /dev/md0 into /dev/md_d0 (I haven't commanded to do s | 01:16 |
| dean | where are you from? | 01:16 |
| iwantfroyo | photon, Unity was a project to try to make Ubuntu stand above the crowd. In my opinion, it worked well for those who liked it. If you didn't like the change, you should try some other DE. They're still free and available, you know. | 01:16 |
| ionite | Dr_Willis: how do i install p7zip full for my unetbootin to install ubuntu? | 01:16 |
| valorin | photon, I can understand that. I personally find Unity to work the way I like to work, but I do know a number of people who don't work the same way and prefer traditional Gnome 2. Each to his/her own :) | 01:16 |
| ionite | iwantfroyo: is it possible to disable unity? | 01:17 |
| urlin2u | ionite, you don't need 7zip for unetbootin | 01:17 |
| elgruntox | so does anyone have an idea on how to fix my external monitor issue | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | if you install the unetbootin package it should pull in all it needs. | 01:17 |
| ionite | urlin2u: i was prompted so. | 01:17 |
| elgruntox | ive updated my graphics drivers | 01:17 |
| fission6 | what terminal based irc clients do you guys use | 01:17 |
| elgruntox | still cant 1080p | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | fission6: i perfer weechat these days. over irssi | 01:18 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, yes. If you don't have enough resources, it will do that for you. If you have enough resources but don't like it, log out, look at the bottom of the screen (there should be a drop down menu that says "Ubuntu"), and change it to "Ubuntu Classic" | 01:18 |
| urlin2u | ionite, your getting alot of bogus opinions here just frealize that. | 01:18 |
| elgruntox | :(* | 01:18 |
| urlin2u | realize* | 01:18 |
| fission6 | Dr_Willis: ok | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | how can an opinion be bogus.. its an opinion.. :) | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | I like blue paint.. :) is that bogus? | 01:18 |
| IdleOne | lets stick to support please | 01:19 |
| urlin2u | Dr_Willis, if prefaced with my opinion that is okay I have seen that just once, a new user may not know the difference. | 01:19 |
| smv | hello. I've been thinking to use GPT on a boot disk, but I'm not sure how the partitioning should look. if anyone would pastebin a gdisk -l /dev/sdX from a working GPT boot disk would be great... | 01:19 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, Ubuntu Classic will give you the Gnome 2 without the Unity shell (which is the heavy part). Gnome 2 is quite quick. My old circa 2000 machine works fine with it. | 01:19 |
| elgruntox | id love support IdleOne ! | 01:19 |
| photon | iwantfroyo, valorin: sure, I understand, but wouldn't it make more sense for those developers to invest their time into fixing bugs/security holes/memory leaks, etc? I'm sure there are still a lot of them around which are yet to be found. but instead they are doing the same mistake as Microsoft with Windows. putting a completely new OS out every few years. at least they have a reason, revenue, but that's not the case with Ubuntu. it's free anyway. | 01:19 |
| buguldey | ionite: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full | 01:19 |
| Mr_Hands | IdleOne is a power hunger GEEK who sucks man cocks and likes to get his man flower busted one a week. A NOOB at *nix. GEEK | 01:19 |
| urlin2u | IdleOne, accurtae support would be nice. | 01:19 |
| urlin2u | accurate* | 01:20 |
| Mr_Hands | suck it nun | 01:20 |
| ionite | buguldey: that was what i was looking for.. lovely. | 01:20 |
| elgruntox | IdleOne: do you know how i can go about getting my monitor to use its native resolution? | 01:20 |
| IdleOne | elgruntox: no. | 01:20 |
| elgruntox | great! | 01:20 |
| elgruntox | open source to the rescue yet again | 01:20 |
| IdleOne | elgruntox: someone in here probably does. | 01:20 |
| racho | elgruntox, what exactly is your problem? | 01:20 |
| ionite | besides the environment what is the diff between KDE and Ubuntu? | 01:20 |
| buguldey | ionite: you can use 'aptitude search packagename' (w/o quotes) to search for packages | 01:20 |
| photon | elgruntox: have you tried installing the proper graphic card drivers? that often fixed that problem for me. | 01:21 |
| urlin2u | elgruntox, have you looked in monitors/display | 01:21 |
| elgruntox | yes yes and yes! | 01:21 |
| iwantfroyo | photon, The goal with Natty was to get Unity started. It isn't meant to be a bug-free system, or a completely stable one. The goal is to get it bug free and stable by 12.04. In between LTS releases, new concepts are formed and put into action. You have to expect them to have bugs. | 01:21 |
| elgruntox | monitors/display only lets me set it to 1024 | 01:21 |
| elgruntox | drivers are updated | 01:21 |
| buguldey | ionite: or aptitude search keyword | 01:21 |
| elgruntox | and my xorg.conf is empty | 01:21 |
| Mr_Hands | IdleOne, are you a woman. I mean you don't know dick about *nix. AntiSec is still floating =) | 01:21 |
| Friar | I can't seem to get flash to work with 11.04. have it installed from software center, but I keep ghetting messages about installing a missing plugin. | 01:21 |
| racho | elgruntox, what does xrandr -q spits | 01:22 |
| photon | Friar: are you using Firefox? | 01:22 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, The KDE version of Ubuntu is called Kubuntu, and it comes with programs written in Qt (normal Ubuntu is GTK). | 01:22 |
| Mr_Hands | lol trying to do a trace | 01:22 |
| Mr_Hands | Get some real tools | 01:22 |
| urlin2u | Friar, install the restricted-extras | 01:22 |
| elgruntox | racho: i shall find out | 01:22 |
| buguldey | ok. noone answered about mdadm. | 01:22 |
| elgruntox | racho: it says 1920x1080 | 01:23 |
| elgruntox | for hdmi | 01:23 |
| elgruntox | so im assuming its supported but i cant change it in the monitor settings app | 01:23 |
| bosyak | what the difference between descktop & server if I need install server at home with GUI? | 01:23 |
| ionite | so ubuntu is more rigid in softwares and less customizable? | 01:23 |
| Friar | photon, I am using firefox...urlin2u can I just do sudo apt-get install restricted-extras? | 01:24 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, No. Ubuntu uses Gnome by default, which is written in GTK. GTK programs run better in Gnome, and Qt programs run better in KDE. | 01:24 |
| urlin2u | Friar, yep. | 01:24 |
| photon | Friar: do what urlin2u said, if it does not work, I can give you another option. | 01:24 |
| elgruntox | racho: any idea? | 01:24 |
| urlin2u | Friar, ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:24 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, You can still run Qt programs in Gnome, and vice versa. They just won't support stuff like dragging something from one program to another. | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: gnome progrmas tend to be designed to be less configurable. | 01:25 |
| Friar | urlin2u...ah got it...didn't recognize without ubuntu in front. | 01:25 |
| racho | elgruntox, just a moment to refresh my memory with the manpage :) | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: as a way to make them more user friendly. | 01:25 |
| Mr_Hands | All right ya cunts I am getting tired of your LOL Linux noob stuff. Get a real system like Arch or BackTrack 5. Metasploit framework and learn some RFI, OFI and XSS with some nice SQL injection tricks. | 01:25 |
| Mr_Hands | later | 01:25 |
| elgruntox | racho: you rock! | 01:25 |
| ionite | still puzzled in between kde and ubuntu wonder which should i try sighs. | 01:25 |
| iwantfroyo | Dr_Willis, Gnome programs are plenty customizable. Just usually behind the scenes. The options aren't right there in front of you. | 01:25 |
| Friar | thanks photon, and urlin2u. | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | iwantfroyo: often not even behind the scenes... | 01:26 |
| urlin2u | MR-Hands sociopath or narcissist which I wonder | 01:26 |
| Friar | got another question about photography with ubuntu....I've read about programs that you can use to control a nikon d90 with your computer. | 01:26 |
| valorin | photon, I think part of it comes down to being innovative. A lot of users, like yourself, are happy to use a rock solid desktop which doesn't change, while others like to try new things and designs. There is the "shiny" affect as well, where being new and pretty attracts users. But I personally find the launcher and dash to be a lot quicker and easier to use than the old menus, so I'll never go back. I find unity better, even tho | 01:26 |
| valorin | ugh it's got bugs and issues, they are being resolved and the experience gets better over time. | 01:26 |
| iwantfroyo | Dr_Willis, that is true. KDE has its merits, and Gnome does too. KDE is better for customization, I agree. | 01:26 |
| bosyak | Dr_Willis: Please, what the difference between descktop & server if I need install server at home with GUI? | 01:26 |
| racho | elgruntox, you have a laptop/netbook or desktop | 01:26 |
| Friar | does anyone know what that is? i'm looking to do some night photography with my camera | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | bosyak: server has no gui.. if you dont know that you need a server.. stick to the desktop edition | 01:27 |
| szal | bosyak: what do you need a GUI on a server for? | 01:27 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, You can install normal Ubuntu, then install the kubuntu-desktop package, which well let you log into whichever you choose. | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | bosyak: you can run services on the desktop editiion | 01:27 |
| elgruntox | racho: laptop with hdmi out | 01:27 |
| elgruntox | toa monitor | 01:27 |
| iwantfroyo | ionite, I find installing KDE onto Ubuntu is easier than installing Gnome+Unity onto Kubuntu. | 01:27 |
| elgruntox | im trying to set the monitors display | 01:27 |
| urlin2u | Friar, you're welcome.:D | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | ionite: i tend to install lubuntu, kubuntu, and ubuntu all on my system. :) | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | wife uses lubuntu, i normally use kubuntu, sometimes i use ubuntu. | 01:28 |
| X_already_in_use | hey guys, help me out here, I've always wondered how to format a pendrive/usb flashdrive/thumbdrive on linux (my lubuntu), in win7 all I do is rite click format on My Computer, how do I go about this on lubuntu, just use Gparted then delete partition, add new partition ?? | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | X_already_in_use: gparted an do it.. yes.. or command line tools. | 01:28 |
| iwantfroyo | Dr_Willis, Wow. That's a lot. I'm considering trying LXDE myself (despite using Linux for years, I've never really tried it). What do you think of it? | 01:28 |
| xangua | X_already_in_use: you can also right clic-format | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | iwantfroyo: lubuntu works decently well. | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | iwantfroyo: its missing a few little things.. but nothing major. | 01:29 |
| iwantfroyo | Dr_Willis, Alright. Thank you. I'll try it when I have the time. | 01:29 |
| fede | Hi, anyone knows hot to activate opengl on photoshop using wine? | 01:29 |
| bosyak | Dr_Willis, szal I want install server (postfix, VM, httpd,...) for test enviroment... and in the same time work like on desktop. And I want to know what the difference between distribution (server vs desktop) | 01:29 |
| darthtone | is their anyway to change the way shell reads and puts out data size from kb to mb? for example 7,583 kb/10,000 downloading? | 01:29 |
| darthtone | from apt-get and such | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | bosyak: as i said.. you can install services on the desktop install... | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | bosyak: theres no real reason for you to use the server install just to play with some services | 01:30 |
| racho | elgruntox, xrandr --output *device name here* --mode 1920x1080 | 01:30 |
| bosyak | Dr_Willis: ok, thanks | 01:30 |
| * szal doesn't think there is a difference, the kernel is the same on *buntu | 01:30 | |
| elgruntox | hey that worked racho | 01:31 |
| elgruntox | do i have to do that every time i log in | 01:31 |
| elgruntox | or reboot | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | server i think installs a differnet default kernel.. and a few other little things.. but its easier to install services on desktop . then install a desktop on server install.. | 01:31 |
| photon | valorin: I guess I'm just being old-fashioned. I prefer a stable, secure system over something brand new anytime, although I do understand the appeal. but I honestly don't want Linux to get a lot of users, because then black-hat hackers and malicious people will focus their attacks more and more on Linux. You can see that starting with the Macintosh now. And I honestly don't think that Linux is that much safer than any other OS, yes it's architecture | 01:31 |
| photon | is safer by design than, say, Windows, but still. too many bugs and security holes are still found years after an initial release. | 01:31 |
| X_already_in_use | xangua, where do I rite click format in linux? to format the pendrive/thumbdrive | 01:31 |
| xangua | X_already_in_use: on the pendrive icon... | 01:31 |
| racho | elgruntox, i suppose it will work until reboot. but you can always make a little script to start it automatically | 01:31 |
| elgruntox | racho: actualy nevermind now i can select it in the menu | 01:31 |
| elgruntox | i just clicked set default so i hope that worked! | 01:32 |
| elgruntox | thanks a bunch for the help | 01:32 |
| iwantfroyo | photon, I agree. The good thing is the code is open, so if Ubuntu becomes really mainstream, people who need more security can just switch. | 01:32 |
| racho | elgruntox, :) you're welcome | 01:32 |
| darthtone | is there anyway to change the way the term prints out data size from KB to MB? | 01:32 |
| elgruntox | i guess the settings app didnt detect my monitor properly or something | 01:32 |
| elgruntox | weird | 01:32 |
| X_already_in_use | xangua, i dont see the reformat option | 01:32 |
| photon | iwantfroyo: switch? to another distro? | 01:33 |
| racho | elgruntox, the answer is probably in the Xorg logs | 01:33 |
| X_already_in_use | xangua, im using pcman file manager | 01:33 |
| xangua | X_already_in_use: well in ubuntu gnome it is | 01:33 |
| X_already_in_use | xangua, interesting, will check that out. thnx for the tips anyways | 01:33 |
| Aszurom | X-Chat Gnome is pretty weird compared to the OSX version | 01:33 |
| iwantfroyo | photon, Yeah. Ubuntu isn't actually too different from other distros, and some of the others are a lot more security focused. | 01:33 |

| iwantfroyo | Aszurom, I've never used OS X's version, but how is it different? I'm using X-Chat on 10.04 right now. | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | xchat is very differnt from xchat-gnome also iwantfroyo :) | 01:37 |
| xangua | chaospsychex: you can play with the bot on private ;) | 01:38 |
| Aszurom | iwantfroyo, well, I don't have a list of people in the room over on the right and can't seem to figure out how to summon one up | 01:38 |
| iwantfroyo | Dr_Willis, alright. Thank you! | 01:38 |
| iwantfroyo | Aszurom, I have that. Weird. | 01:38 |
| xangua | Aszurom: gnome xchat sucks, better try real xchat: sudo apt-get install xchat | 01:38 |
| Aszurom | word | 01:38 |
| Aszurom | will do | 01:38 |
| chaospsychex | xangua: cool, i will check it out | 01:38 |

| alazare619 | i was a big konversation user | 01:42 |
| asasdkasd | lol | 01:42 |
| IdleOne | alazare619: Do you have an Ubuntu related support question? | 01:42 |
| MX1i | i just partitioned my hardrive to allow Ubuntu to have more room, when i rebooted the bootup menu can't find my ubuntu - also just installed Backtrack5 R1, i don't even see ubuntu on my bootup menu either.. but gparted says its still there. | 01:42 |
| alazare619 | sure i got one :P | 01:42 |
| asasdkasd | MX1i: you need to fix grub | 01:42 |
| MX1i | asasdkasd: how would i do that | 01:42 |
| alazare619 | how can i make ubuntu move my home folder to a seperate partition :P | 01:42 |
| asasdkasd | !grub | 01:42 |

| princej88 | Hey guys, I installed 11.10 beta and I selected the gdm | 01:44 |
| princej88 | login screen during the upgrade. Now, How would switch to | 01:44 |
| princej88 | the lightDM login screen? | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | alazare619: you could even move just specific users to a spare partition for their home if you wanted | 01:44 |
| asasdkasd | Dr_Willis: can you tell me the name of that application that allows a program to start at X day hour minute | 01:44 |
| asasdkasd | damn | 01:44 |
| szal | !oneiric | princej88 | 01:44 |
| asasdkasd | i cant remember | 01:44 |
| ubottu | princej88: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 01:44 |
| Aszurom | ah, much butter | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | asasdkasd: cron runs stuff at specific times | 01:44 |
| Aszurom | better even | 01:44 |
| photon | asasdkasd: cron | 01:44 |
| asasdkasd | yeah thanks! | 01:44 |
| asasdkasd | cron! | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | asasdkasd: not for X apps however. :) | 01:44 |
| asasdkasd | crontab :) | 01:45 |
| princej88 | cool...i'll ask there | 01:45 |
| Aszurom | Isn't Cron the god of steel? | 01:45 |
| * Aszurom looks for his Conan comics | 01:45 | |
| asasdkasd | o.o | 01:45 |
| etfb | How do I make the Unity sidebar hide itself? It won't go away. | 01:45 |
| asasdkasd | when will Oneiric be released? | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | etfb: all the time? or are youhaveing issues with fullscreened apps? | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | the CCSM unity plugin has settings to tweak the panel. | 01:46 |
| MX1i | etfb: try rebooting into Ubuntu Classic, you want Unity gone right? or just temperory hidden? | 01:46 |
| etfb | None of the apps are full-screened. SOmetimes the bar just won't hide. | 01:46 |
| swaroop | hi ppl. | 01:46 |
| swaroop | need help with GTKPOD | 01:46 |
| swaroop | i have all my music on my apple ipod classic | 01:46 |
| freshone0 | iam using ubuntu 11.04 natty narwal i have 500 gb HDD and created a partition of 100 gb and 400 gb now my home folder is 100 gb and i cannot use the 400 gb | 01:46 |
| darthtone | j | 01:46 |
| etfb | No, don't want Unity Classic. I just want the sidebar to work. Unity is excellent, but buggier than a Microsoft product. | 01:46 |
| usr13 | etfb: You can tell it to hide | 01:46 |
| chaospsychex | #linux-config ! | 01:47 |
| swaroop | need to export it to my / partition on ubuntu | 01:47 |
| etfb | usr13, how? | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | etfb: its a work in progress.. its improved a lot in 11.10 | 01:47 |
| swaroop | ive tried gtkpod | 01:47 |
| MX1i | freshone0: the 400GB is prob unallocated try - Gparted | 01:47 |
| freshone0 | what should be the mount point for the 400 gb so that i can use it.. | 01:47 |
| swaroop | but im unable to select all the tracks :/ | 01:47 |
| swaroop | & kit keeps crashing on me :/ | 01:47 |
| swaroop | *it | 01:47 |
| freshone0 | mount point is / | 01:47 |
| dean | hi guys was wondering how you install gnome-shell in ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 | 01:47 |
| freshone0 | should it be something else | 01:48 |
| etfb | Dr_Willis, it's already excellent. I'm a refugee from the great KDE 4 debacle, so I know a well-handled roll-out when I see it. | 01:48 |
| usr13 | etfb: Well, I'm not sure how I did it, but....well I think my wife did. | 01:48 |
| freshone0 | and if one does not want a partition will it work | 01:48 |
| swaroop | is there an easier way to export all 5000 songs to my Ubuntu root ? | 01:48 |
| nac-godfather | anyone know how to get xscreensaver to run under root? | 01:48 |
| swaroop | !gtkpod | 01:48 |
| Dr_Willis | etfb: i would not use the term execellent. :) | 01:48 |
| etfb | Dr_Willis, as I said - after KDE4, everything looks good. | 01:49 |
| swaroop | does ipod get mounted? | 01:49 |
| usr13 | Oh, it's because she uses full screen mode I guess. | 01:49 |
| hsantiago | hi, my glxgears is not working. i get this message: "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." i removed my nvidia card and now im using onboard video. how can i fix it? | 01:49 |
| Dr_Willis | etfb: i find kde4 very useable right now | 01:49 |
| swaroop | pardon my ignorance | 01:49 |
| etfb | Dr_Willis, probably is - it's what, two years since it was made standard in Kubuntu? Three? Long enough for it to finally be ready. | 01:49 |
| swaroop | hmmmm | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | etfb: and in 3 years. unity may be muchbetter. :) | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | or it may be a dead project. | 01:50 |
| usr13 | I think it's because she toggles back and forth with F11 | 01:50 |
| etfb | Oh certainly. I look forward to the day that the icon bar up the top works properly with XChat, Skype, etc, the menus in LibreOffice are integrated, the bloody sidebar hides when it's supposed to... | 01:50 |
| freshone0 | what should ber the mount location or point for the 400 gb partition? | 01:50 |
| swaroop | in 3 years Ubuntu maybe the best OS ever | 01:50 |
| swaroop | i mean better than OS X | 01:51 |
| xangua | swaroop: already is | 01:51 |
| swaroop | dont agree | 01:51 |
| xangua | recently osx copied all it's features | 01:51 |
| swaroop | my Ubuntu still crashes | 01:51 |
| swaroop | when i use firefox + Facebook | 01:51 |
| xangua | but that is offtopic here ;) | 01:51 |
| swaroop | to me Ubuntu rules | 01:52 |
| swaroop | but the UI can be better | 01:52 |
| swaroop | anyways.... | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | swaroop: odd never had facebook crash my ubuntu here... | 01:52 |
| swaroop | could i get help with my ipod classic? | 01:52 |
| etfb | UI is hard. Adding features is always the fun part of programming; getting the existing features to work is boring. | 01:52 |
| swaroop | i asked like 3 times already :/ | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | freshone0: mount it whever you want. dependign on your needs | 01:52 |
| racho | freshone0, is it the rootfs or separate partition? | 01:52 |
| alazare619 | just an fyi nettalk is probably the nicest windows client out there | 01:52 |
| swaroop | UI is what normal customers like | 01:53 |
| swaroop | err users even | 01:53 |
| swaroop | they want the bells & whistles | 01:53 |

| Dr_Willis | freshone0: a home 'file' ? | 01:54 |
| Aszurom | I'm seeing sysadmin jobs in RTP area posting like 4 to 1 Linux vs Windows. So I thought I'd get with it, install Ubuntu and force myself to use it at home | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | how are you going to get 500gb when you said it was 400gb.... | 01:54 |

| Dr_Willis | Aszurom: its a trivial change.. if Apple had done it.. everyone would be gushing abouthow innovative it is... | 01:58 |
| Aszurom | Xangua omg!ubuntu! ? | 01:58 |
| xangua | not that i promote omg!ubuntu! blog but almost all you are asking is there | 01:58 |
| MX1i | im currently tri-boot Win7, Ubuntu, Backtrack5 R1 my Grub is F****D'up, how do i repair it? | 01:58 |
| xangua | Aszurom: is a blog | 01:58 |
| Aszurom | I assume it doesn't have bangs in the url | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Aszurom: the webupd8 blog site has unity tweaks. check my links at http://delicious.com/dr_willis | 01:58 |
| freshone0 | i donot want any partitions... | 01:58 |

| Dr_Willis | MX1i: boot to one of the ubuntu/linux's and rerun update-grub - so it can refresh them grub menus.. ubuntu should be able to handle them all. | 01:59 |
| mssever | Dr_Willis: That may be, but they decided to promote a few use cases and make the others impossible. Now I can no longer click on the bar to scroll a screenful or middle click to scroll to that point | 01:59 |
| Aszurom | this is why I like Ubuntu... because years ago all you'd get in the * Linux channels was "RTFM! go away!" | 01:59 |

| alazare619 | whats oftc's server info | 01:59 |
| usr13 | freshone0: What do you mean? You don't want any partitions. You have to have partitions. | 01:59 |
| freshone0 | i donot want any partitions... how does one achive that? | 01:59 |
| alazare619 | so i can join #debian | 01:59 |
| mssever | freshone0: You can't | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Aszurom: and now a days we actually have good docs to read,. and no one bothers. :) | 01:59 |
| Aszurom | lol | 02:00 |
| mssever | freshone0: Do you mean you want everyuthing on a single partition? | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | freshone0: why are you not wanting parittions? | 02:00 |
| rww | alazare619: just /join #debian. freenode's is bigger anyway. | 02:00 |
| alazare619 | free nodes is bigger then the official #debian on oftc? | 02:00 |
| photon | hsantiago: have you installed the latest nvidia drivers? | 02:00 |
| freshone0 | ok then i want to be able to use the 400 gb it is mounted at / . what does that mean | 02:00 |
| rww | alazare619: yes | 02:00 |
| alazare619 | hmm ironic | 02:00 |
| hsantiago | photon: yes, before i remove my card it was everything ok | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | freshone0: if its mounted to / then you are using it... | 02:01 |
| alazare619 | they just need to convert over the freenode then lol | 02:01 |
| Aszurom | my only real regret is the lack of a spotify client - afaik | 02:01 |
| mssever | freshone0: Is /home currently on a separate partition? | 02:01 |
| usr13 | freshone0: DO you realize that it is impossible to use a storage device without partitions? | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Aszurom: i think ive seen guides on gettting it working in wine very well. | 02:01 |
| freshone0 | i mean i cannot copy or store a file in the 400 gb partition | 02:01 |
| MX1i | Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/6QERL9xK - where is my /sda3,/sda5? or does that look right? | 02:01 |
| Aszurom | oh wait, they DO have one | 02:01 |
| Aszurom | dizzam | 02:01 |
| freshone0 | yes a separate 100 gb | 02:01 |
| mssever | freshone0: Why not? | 02:02 |
| mssever | freshone0: Not enough space? | 02:02 |
| Dr_Willis | MX1i: sda5 is / | 02:02 |

| freshone0 | yes | 02:02 |
| MX1i | Dr_Willis: alright, brb ill reboot and see if it worked, thanks. | 02:02 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl. off to work | 02:03 |
| mssever | freshone0: Making a single partition won't solve that problem. You need to work on permissions | 02:03 |
| freshone0 | i do not know of the file system may be it is ext4 | 02:03 |
| usr13 | freshone0: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #And send resulting URL. Let us have a look. | 02:03 |
| Tinfoyle | Where would the file for adding the usb adress to let ubuntu recognise usb? Forgot... | 02:03 |
| mssever | freshone0: I recommend creating a directory on / and giving your user write permissions there | 02:03 |
| mssever | freshone0: Then, you'll be able to save files there | 02:03 |

| Benwin | I need to have my router (running Ubuntu 10.04) forward all requests to some.domain.com to an IP within the local network. (IE: irc.mydomain.net to 192.168.254.254) | 02:20 |
| usr13 | and send resulting URL | 02:20 |
| Benwin | And I'm not sure how, or how to phrase the question properly to google it. | 02:20 |
| racho | swaroop, do you have a point dir for mounting? have you edited /etc/fstab and see if it works?? | 02:20 |
| |NeXuS| | anyone know why people lose video play back in ubuntu 10.10 | 02:20 |
| |NeXuS| | ? | 02:20 |
| usr13 | Benwin: Well, first off, put an entry for it in /etc/hosts | 02:20 |
| mssever | Benwin: I think the best approach is to either edit /etc/hosts on all machines or if there are too many, set up a DNS server | 02:21 |
| ChrisRJersey | install iTunes in wine | 02:21 |
| IdleOne | M452s: this is the method I use. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-nonfree | 02:21 |
| tarelerulz | I have ipod touch want to make so I don't need router ssh into the ipod ? what are my options ? | 02:21 |
| Benwin | mssever: there are 14 machines behind the router, so the router needs to be updated if possible. | 02:21 |
| Benwin | It's a LAN center of sorts. | 02:21 |
| Benwin | so it's not feasible to alter all computers behind the firewall. | 02:21 |
| mssever | Benwin: My recommendation would be to set up BIND9 or some other DNS server on one machine, then configure your router to hand out that machine's IP for the DNS server instead of your ISP's | 02:22 |
| swaroop | http:/paste.ubuntu.com/683035/ | 02:22 |
| swaroop | guys | 02:22 |
| mssever | Benwin: I've done something similar in the past and it worked well | 02:23 |
| usr13 | Benwin: Then put nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 02:23 |
| racho | M452s, or download the beta from adobe.com and put in ~/.mozzila/plugins | 02:23 |
| usr13 | in /etc/resolv.conf | 02:23 |
| |NeXuS| | when i play videos on ubuntu 10.10 some times they crash the media player and i cant seem to play videos anymore on any player any ideas ? | 02:23 |
| racho | M452s, assuming you're with FF | 02:23 |
| swaroop | any help guys? | 02:23 |
| mssever | Benwin: usr13 nameserver 127.0.0.1 will break your network | 02:23 |
| M452s | racho: yeah im using ff | 02:24 |
| yeats | |NeXuS|: run a video player from the command line and see if there is error output? | 02:24 |
| photon | M452s: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/ | 02:24 |
| mssever | Benwin: usr13 You need to use your local DNS server's external IP (probably 192.168.something) | 02:24 |
| |NeXuS| | flash-aid firefox : firefox plugin that installs flash for you | 02:24 |
| photon | M452s: Place the .so file in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ and you're off. | 02:24 |
| usr13 | mssever: No it wont | 02:25 |
| IdleOne | use the sevenmachines PPA | 02:25 |
| IdleOne | no need to copy/move files | 02:25 |
| rickup | Benwin, you can run a local forwarding cache on 127.0.0.1 http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache-home.html | 02:25 |
| mssever | usr13: It'll only work on the machine that's running the nameserver | 02:25 |
| mssever | usr13: not the rest of the network | 02:25 |
| usr13 | correct | 02:25 |
| rickup | Benwin, or you can use Google's public DNS http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ | 02:25 |
| g8tor | i'm trying to enable remote conn to mysql. opened port 3306 and changed the bind-address to 0.0.0.0 restarted mysql and I still cant connect am I missing something | 02:25 |

| rickup | ok on each DHCP client should get DNS automatically (windows boxes?) | 02:31 |
| Benwin | so I need mc.thedomain.com to resolve to 192.168.1.5 (which is the LAN IP of the minecraft server) | 02:31 |
| Sanvean | Benwin, is that deadly ? | 02:31 |
| racho | Knuxgen, maybe change from BIOS from IDE to AHCI | 02:31 |
| rickup | I knew I was missing something... obvious | 02:31 |
| Benwin | IT's a LAN center. | 02:31 |
| Benwin | I can't control all machines connecting out | 02:31 |
| Benwin | So if they have a custom DNS | 02:31 |
| |NeXuS| | meway what distro you got 10.10 ? | 02:32 |
| Benwin | So I just need the router box to snag all requests to mc.thedomain.com and forward them to .5 | 02:32 |
| rickup | Benwin, how often do the 14 hosts get swapped out changed or otherwise reconfigured | 02:32 |
| meway | |NeXuS|: actually its the latest Lubuntu but it seems to be vertually the same thing | 02:32 |
| kbhtech | k, Im trying to mod an xbox, but facing a problem... | 02:32 |
| rickup | you can make a hosts file entry on each client | 02:32 |
| meway | kbhtech: ?? | 02:32 |
| Benwin | right now, there are 14 DHCP leases active. | 02:32 |
| rickup | I do this all the time with less than25 hosts | 02:33 |
| tarelerulz | Is there any way to make my laptop like the router ? so I can hook up wireless to other pc ? | 02:33 |

| justyellowboy | Thanks | 02:47 |
| freshone0 | usr13: when i copy any file into the cdrom0 (400 gb ) partion it still says permission denied | 02:47 |
| Pici | webirc1234: yes, they are having issues, switch to a different mirror. | 02:47 |
| webirc1234 | Pici: is this related to the recent security issue? | 02:47 |
| webirc1234 | I thought that was only kernel.org | 02:47 |
| |NeXuS| | chmod ? | 02:47 |
| racho | meway, i suggest you get the NDISwrapper and windows drivers.This way it will work for sure | 02:47 |
| justyellowboy | How do I apply the backgrounds to just one page and not all of them? | 02:47 |
| usr13 | freshone0: Show us your partitions and /etc/fstab file. Pastebinit it and send URLs. Let's have a look. | 02:47 |
| Pici | webirc1234: It seems to be intermittantly affecting mirrors.kernel.org as well. I just switched off of it myself because I was tired of seeing errors in my cron logs. | 02:48 |
| meway | racho: how do I get Ndiswrapper? btw keep in mind my only way of file transfur is a flashdrive | 02:48 |
| usr13 | freshone0: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #send resulting URL | 02:48 |
| rickup | Benwin, u still here? | 02:48 |
| webirc1234 | Pici: so right now, I only mave mirrors.kernel.org is there a list for stuff to stuf finto /etc/apt.list ? | 02:48 |
| grom358 | I'm tryign to compile PDO_IBM on 11.04 and when I do make test it says unable to load module cause it couldn't load PDO module | 02:48 |
| rickup | brb | 02:49 |
| usr13 | freshone0: pastebinit /etc/fstab #Send resulting URL (paste it here.) | 02:49 |
| grom358 | Cannot load module 'pdo_ibm' because required module 'pdo' is not loaded in Unknown on line 0 | 02:49 |
| usr13 | freshone0: cdrom0 is a cdrom | 02:49 |
| freshone0 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/683048/ | 02:50 |
| Pici | webirc1234: You can look for other mirrors here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors , but I just did: sudo sed -i 's/mirrors\.kernel\.org/us.archive.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:50 |
| freshone0 | it says that | 02:50 |
| justyellowboy | Wait, err, can a cdrom have a partition? s: | 02:50 |
| webirc1234 | Pici: I like the sed solution. Thanks :-) | 02:50 |
| webirc1234 | Pici: looks like you also appreciate how fast mirrors.kernel.org used to be :-) | 02:50 |
| freshone0 | i have a 500 gb hdd and my home folder is only 100 gb | 02:50 |
| freshone0 | i want home to be the largest partition | 02:51 |
| usr13 | freshone0: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit #send resulting URL (paste it here) | 02:51 |
| Pici | webirc1234: Yeah, it was very nice. I'll be switching back as soon as things are reslved. | 02:51 |

| BrandonBolton | rww: I am just letting the community know about GoodSearch.com It costs nothing, all you have to do is just search and use your Gmail account or Yahoo account with it. :) | 02:54 |
| freshone0 | ohh i got it now | 02:54 |
| freshone0 | iam sorry | 02:54 |
| rww | BrandonBolton: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, not website advertising ;) | 02:55 |
| qin | Lasers: some perl, some bash, and it can be done, /j #irssi | 02:55 |
| freshone0 | now what? | 02:55 |
| justyellowboy | You're trying to establish a partition in a CD-Rom right? | 02:55 |
| BrandonBolton | rww: I thought this was the general chat one. Sorry about that. I have no association with the website just a member. :) | 02:55 |
| freshone0 | no i want my" home " to be the larger partition | 02:56 |
| freshone0 | out of 500 gb it is only 100 gb | 02:56 |
| freshone0 | and i do not have permission to use the 400 gb | 02:56 |
| justyellowboy | Ohhh you are creating a filesystem and trying to resize your home partition. | 02:57 |
| freshone0 | yes | 02:57 |
| freshone0 | the 400 gb partition is mounted on / | 02:57 |
| freshone0 | is it ok or do i need to change it | 02:57 |
| BrandonBolton | freshone0, Go to terminal and type in sudo apt-get install gparted I just gparted for all of my partition needs. :) | 02:57 |
| justyellowboy | That means that the root filesystem is on the 400 gb partition. | 02:58 |
| dr-willis | not sure of the proper wsy to shrink a primary and add it to an extended and logical. | 02:58 |
| justyellowboy | You would have to eliminate that entire partition to add it to your current home partition. | 02:58 |
| justyellowboy | And then | 02:58 |
| Lasers | freshone0: There are no ideal solutions -- just preferences. My preference was using two HDD. 20GB HDD for / -- and 300TB for ~/ | 02:58 |
| justyellowboy | you'd have to find a new place to put the root filesystem. | 02:58 |
| justyellowboy | You follow me so far, right? | 02:58 |
| justyellowboy | I believe that's the case. | 02:59 |
| dr-willis | it may take some work in gparted to resize them. | 02:59 |
| freshone0 | how does on e acess a file on / ? | 02:59 |
| usr13 | freshone0: You need to shrink your / partition (/dev/sda1) and increase size of /home (/dev/sda5) | 02:59 |
| dr-willis | same as any other location freshone0 | 02:59 |
| justyellowboy | Oh okay, I thought you couldn't shrink the / partition. o: | 03:00 |
| BrandonBolton | freshone0: Why didn't you just edit the partition table during the installation? | 03:00 |
| dr-willis | usr13: he may need to grow theextended fiirst then the logical | 03:00 |
| usr13 | freshone0: The root partition (/dev/sda1) can be as small as 30G | 03:00 |
| justyellowboy | He probably assumed 100 gb was enough | 03:00 |
| freshone0 | how does one use a partition mounted on/ | 03:00 |
| justyellowboy | You boot it. | 03:00 |
| Lasers | Through fstab? | 03:00 |
| Lasers | That's for automatic stuffs. | 03:01 |
| dr-willis | freshone0: you will want to be ysing a live cd with gparted on it for this work | 03:01 |
| usr13 | freshone0: dr-willis is correct /dev/sda2 has to be enlarged. (Because /dev/sda5 is logical partition on /dev/sda2) | 03:01 |
| freshone0 | i mean i can only store files in the home partition how do i access the rest | 03:01 |
| usr13 | freshone0: Yes, that is how it works | 03:01 |
| justyellowboy | Being able to store files in the home partition is a good thing, majorly. | 03:02 |
| dr-willis | cd / then ls. you are acessing it.. | 03:02 |
| usr13 | freshone0: You just need to change your partition sizes to match your needs. | 03:02 |
| freshone0 | yes | 03:02 |
| justyellowboy | Agh I should at least know the answer to that question aljfkffs I suck at helping | 03:02 |
| freshone0 | tell me what to do | 03:02 |
| justyellowboy | fstab has a friendly interface, right? | 03:03 |
| usr13 | freshone0: The root partition / (/dev/sda1) can be small. 20-30G is plenty | 03:03 |
| Lasers | Nope. | 03:03 |
| justyellowboy | Hahaha okay | 03:03 |
| dr-willis | freshone0: get a live cd that has gparted for starters. backup imporntant files also. | 03:03 |
| usr13 | freshone0: Increase size of /dev/sda2 (and in turn /dev/sda5) to about 400G | 03:04 |
| Lasers | It's just a line. Add a line. Make sure it's properly formatted (and correct numbers of valid parameters) | 03:04 |
| BrandonBolton | freshone0: Here, follow this link. http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Gparted It's to learn how to use Gparted. After you learn go to terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install gparted' without the qoutes of coures :) | 03:04 |
| freshone0 | dev/sda1 is 372.53 gib | 03:04 |
| usr13 | freshone0: Yes, that is way too big | 03:04 |
| freshone0 | according to gparted | 03:04 |
| usr13 | freshone0: Home needs to be that big (or bigger) | 03:05 |
| usr13 | freshone0: As dr-willis suggests, fire up the liveCD and use gparted | 03:05 |
| freshone0 | and dev/sda5 is 92.23 | 03:05 |
| dr-willis | you could just move home to the / and not use a seoerate home partitiin | 03:05 |
| freshone0 | yes | 03:05 |
| freshone0 | what do i do | 03:05 |
| chaospsychex | who would do such a thing as that | 03:05 |
| usr13 | freshone0: shrink /dev/sda1 and take up the space on /dev/sda2 (and in turn /dev/sda5, the logical partition). | 03:06 |
| justyellowboy | Probably people who don't want to have the hassle of partition resizing, although it sounds simple enough in this case~ | 03:06 |
| dr-willis | then delete the sda2. and resize sda1 and remake sda2. move home back | 03:06 |
| freshone0 | live cd is the cd i used to install ubuntu | 03:06 |
| justyellowboy | Yes, that LiveCD. | 03:06 |
| freshone0 | so i just put it and then what? | 03:06 |
| justyellowboy | Use that. | 03:06 |
| justyellowboy | Then | 03:06 |
| justyellowboy | I got this! | 03:06 |
| chaospsychex | he will have to chroot | 03:07 |
| BrandonBolton | freshone0: Yes, that is the live cd. Just choose the try Ubuntu link. | 03:07 |
| dr-willis | justyellowboy: rhw use of a extended logical makes it a little harder | 03:07 |
| BobManiaBr559 | ola | 03:07 |
| justyellowboy | Insert the LiveCD and reboot. You can use a key (F11 works) to boot from CD. Then you will be using the LiveCD OS. | 03:07 |
| freshone0 | ok why not the install? | 03:07 |
| freshone0 | ok | 03:07 |
| dr-willis | freshone0: is this a new install? | 03:07 |
| chaospsychex | freshone0 what did you do? partition incorrectly ? | 03:08 |
| freshone0 | yes | 03:08 |
| usr13 | dr-willis: Yes, that is totally un-necessary. should be just sda1 and sda2 and sda3 | 03:08 |
| accel | first five peopel to join #startups-offtopic gets op | 03:08 |
| Pici | accel: do not advertise channels here. | 03:08 |
| BobManiaBr559 | ola | 03:08 |
| usr13 | dr-willis: I notice he doesn't even have a swap partition. | 03:08 |
| justyellowboy | o: | 03:08 |
| dr-willis | freshone0: backup imporntant stuff and reinstall and use primary partions size as needed will be faster | 03:08 |
| BobManiaBr559 | Plug-in Java 1.6.0_27 | 03:09 |
| usr13 | freshone0: While you are at it, create /dev/sda6 for swap. About 4G Okay? | 03:09 |
| freshone0 | there is no data stored it is a new coputer | 03:09 |
| === Beastmode is now known as Dasda | ||
| justyellowboy | That makes it super easy then! C: | 03:09 |
| freshone0 | ok | 03:09 |
| chaospsychex | freshone0: why didn't you choose use entire disk | 03:09 |
| terr_ | I just used k3b to burn kubuntubalh.iso to the cd. I moutned it and I see the .iso file. I didn't do this right? right? arrghh. How? | 03:09 |
| freshone0 | what should be the mount point | 03:09 |
| chaospsychex | you tried to manually create the partitions ? | 03:09 |
| dr-willis | freshone0: you wull want 3 primary partitiins. / swap and /home | 03:10 |
| chaospsychex | are you installing from the live cd? | 03:10 |
| chaospsychex | all you do is choose USE ENTIRE DISK | 03:10 |
| freshone0 | i will now | 03:10 |
| justyellowboy | He is repartitioning from the LiveCD. | 03:10 |
| chaospsychex | why is he repartitioning? | 03:10 |
| justyellowboy | Because he sized the home partition too small and the / partition too large. | 03:10 |
| freshone0 | where is the option to use entire disk? | 03:10 |
| chaospsychex | when you launch the installer | 03:10 |
| dr-willis | chaospsychex: his / is 300gb and home 100gb | 03:10 |
| usr13 | freshone0: /dev/sda1=20G /dev/sda2=380G /dev/sda5=376G /dev/sda6=4G (swap) | 03:11 |
| usr13 | something like that ^^^ | 03:11 |
| chaospsychex | just reinstall,will be alot easier for you | 03:11 |
| justyellowboy | Mmyeah. | 03:11 |
| chaospsychex | manually partitioning is not for noobs | 03:11 |
| freshone0 | i want to reinstall as the pc has no data | 03:11 |
| dr-willis | id use all primaries in this case | 03:11 |
| chaospsychex | then reinstall and choose USE ENTIRE DISK | 03:11 |
| usr13 | Oh wait, that is a 500G drive, not 400. Well you get the idea... | 03:11 |
| chaospsychex | if you don't want a dual-boot | 03:12 |
| chaospsychex | are you planning on putting windows on this computer as well? | 03:12 |
| freshone0 | usr13: will do that | 03:12 |
| usr13 | freshone0: /dev/sda1=20G /dev/sda2=480G /dev/sda5=476G /dev/sda6=4G (swap) | 03:12 |
| justyellowboy | He doesn't. He's using a separate device to host Windows. | 03:12 |
| chaospsychex | or just ubuntu | 03:12 |
| chaospsychex | oh | 03:12 |
| freshone0 | where is the option to use entire disk? | 03:12 |
| chaospsychex | use entire disk | 03:12 |
| chaospsychex | when you launch the installer | 03:12 |
| usr13 | justyellowboy: Oh ok... I take that back. | 03:12 |
| dr-willis | time to play with the 'somthing else' cystome partitiin section of the installer | 03:13 |
| chaospsychex | when you launch the installer | 03:13 |
| daniel__ | hello | 03:13 |
| freshone0 | ya | 03:13 |
| chaospsychex | its the option at the top | 03:13 |
| daniel__ | i wonder i there is any norwegian channels? | 03:13 |
| chaospsychex | when it gets to disk setup | 03:13 |
| chaospsychex | partitioning | 03:13 |
| dr-willis | or just not make a seperate home ;) | 03:13 |
| freshone0 | will try this out | 03:13 |
| freshone0 | thanks | 03:14 |
| hullo | hello my home directory just went read onlu | 03:14 |
| hullo | only | 03:14 |
| dr-willis | theres prob youtube videos on this. | 03:14 |
| chaospsychex | lol | 03:14 |
| justyellowboy | Step 1: Insert LiveCD. Step 2: Reboot and press F11 or whatever key will allow you to choose to boot from CD. Step 3: Use Gparted. Step 4: Use entire disk. | 03:14 |
| hullo | i accidentally ran fsck for a second | 03:14 |
| justyellowboy | Step 5: Add a swap partition, too. | 03:14 |
| chaospsychex | you don't need to use gparted | 03:14 |
| justyellowboy | No? | 03:14 |
| justyellowboy | Okay. | 03:14 |
| hullo | idk if that has anything to do with it | 03:14 |
| chaospsychex | how much ram does this system have | 03:14 |
| chaospsychex | freshone, how much ram u have | 03:14 |
| dr-willis | justyellowboy: you mean yse installer.. | 03:14 |
| justyellowboy | Step 3: Choose "reinstall" hahaha | 03:14 |
| dr-willis | ;) | 03:15 |
| justyellowboy | Unless it just says install. | 03:15 |
| usr13 | dr-willis: You mean on partitions? | 03:15 |
| justyellowboy | Glad to be of obstruction to your guidance, awesome guys. :) | 03:15 |
| chaospsychex | lolololol | 03:15 |
| hullo | my /home went read-only suddenly, any ideas? | 03:16 |
| dr-willis | for a beginner. may as well just let the installer auto partitiin and not use a seperate /home | 03:16 |
| usr13 | .. we shure took up a lot of space just figuring out a simple partition sceme | 03:16 |
| justyellowboy | Isn't your /home supposed to be read-only? | 03:16 |
| dr-willis | hullo: check dmesg output. | 03:16 |
| chaospsychex | hullo: man chown | 03:16 |

| justyellowboy | Oh, sorry, then. c: | 03:17 |
| chaospsychex | hullo what is your home folder called? | 03:17 |
| justyellowboy | The separation of partition allows for organization. It might even be safe, maybe. | 03:17 |
| usr13 | justyellowboy: df | 03:17 |
| hullo | lol home | 03:17 |
| hullo | im not a noob or anything, just havent seen this | 03:17 |
| daniel__ | is it possible to take control over fanspeed etc in ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| chaospsychex | what is your username on the machine | 03:18 |
| usr13 | hullo: What does df say? What does df -i say? | 03:18 |
| dr-willis | hull the hd may be failing.. i would back it up soon | 03:18 |
| hullo | usr13: what line? | 03:18 |
| usr13 | hullo: Open a terminal and type df #Tell us what it says. | 03:19 |

| usr13 | hullo: And then, open a terminal and type df - #Tell us what it says. | 03:19 |
| usr13 | df -i | 03:19 |
| usr13 | sorry | 03:19 |
| hullo | df looks normal, not out of inodes either | 03:19 |

| usr13 | dr-willis is prolly right hullo | 03:20 |
| MorphineDrip | hull: just did a quick read. if you have the ability i would run 'gsmartcontrol' and see what it says about your drive. | 03:20 |
| MorphineDrip | reading the smart data from the drive always helps | 03:21 |
| usr13 | hullo: the sceond one, is that output of df -i ? It says 90% | 03:21 |
| hullo | cant install anything bc root is read only | 03:21 |
| Lasers | hullo: If you want to preserve your data, better shutdown the computer and don't turn it on until you come back with a new hard drive. :) | 03:21 |
| hullo | the second one is drive space | 03:21 |
| MorphineDrip | i hear ya. caught between a shit and a fart scenario | 03:22 |
| usr13 | hullo: sde1 is root? Do you have separate /home partition? | 03:22 |
| hullo | JUST installed a software raid on this box i think i got lucky here | 03:22 |
| hullo | no seperate /home | 03:22 |
| daniel__ | mine is 1% | 03:22 |
| MorphineDrip | too many cooks in the kitchen. i' | 03:22 |
| MorphineDrip | i'll hang back in the weeds | 03:22 |
| hullo | time to copy everything over to: /dev/md0 8.1T 275G 7.4T 4% /media/moria ;) | 03:23 |
| usr13 | hullo: Which line up there is from df and which is from df -i ? (One says 90%). | 03:23 |
| daniel__ | is 1% good? for / it is 29% | 03:23 |
| dr-willis | use ubuntu one. :) | 03:24 |
| hullo | usr 90% drive space full | 03:24 |
| hullo | 6% inodes used | 03:24 |
| usr13 | hullo: Ant the other says 6% | 03:24 |
| simpleblue | does anyone know how i can decrease the amount that my mouse button scrolls? | 03:24 |
| simpleblue | its scrolling about 1.5 pages per notch | 03:24 |
| chaospsychex | LOL | 03:25 |
| usr13 | hullo: Oh ok | 03:25 |
| chaospsychex | simpleblue: LOLOLOLOL | 03:25 |
| justyellowboy | 1.5 pages?! Good lord! | 03:25 |
| simpleblue | thats the default for me... all i want is to use my mouse scroll wheel | 03:26 |
| justyellowboy | Which program is this, anyway? | 03:26 |
| chaospsychex | some people can't even scroll 1.5 pages with like 2 minutes of scrolling | 03:26 |
| simpleblue | any program | 03:26 |

| elgruntox | soreau: do you have any idea how to fix this | 03:36 |
| elgruntox | or should i just reinstall windows ugh | 03:36 |
| soreau | elgruntox: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.com? | 03:36 |
| Lasers | usr13: Maybe. It's hit-or-miss. X_already_in_use, try doing it while X11 isn't running or use Nvidia GUI Settings. | 03:37 |
| terr_ | when I mount a livecd what should I see? an .iso? or the files in the .iso? | 03:37 |
| usr13 | elgruntox: What? | 03:37 |
| poNIX | i just installed 11.04 and my display is 'garbled', how can i fix? | 03:37 |

| ubottu | meway: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:43 |
| soreau | elgruntox: Try xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080 | 03:44 |
| elgruntox | ive tried that soreau and | 03:44 |
| elgruntox | it puits both screens on my desktop | 03:44 |
| elgruntox | so i have a tiny 1024 screen n the top left corner | 03:44 |
| elgruntox | and behind that my 1080p | 03:44 |
| Lasers | X_already_in_use: Okay. That's relief. To get a console, press "CTRL+ALT+F1" -- Log in. "sudo service gdm stop" -- then -- "sudo nvidia-xconfig" -- then "sudo service gdm start" -- Try that. | 03:44 |
| elgruntox | two task bars too | 03:44 |
| soreau | elgruntox: That's strange. Maybe try asking in #intel-gfx | 03:45 |

| terr_ | usr13: the issue is I've read it. I did D/L the right ISO. The problem is how to create a bootable USB-Stick from it. I should be able to pick up the MBR from the ISO (has to be secotor 0) and them copy the 2'nd stage boot sectors which should live in visible files in the .ISO and copy them to the USB-Stick and modify the mbr with the right offset and use dd to re-write the MBR and I should be done. | 04:11 |

| |NeXuS| | whats the best linux distro out there ? | 04:22 |
| usr13 | |NeXuS|: Mine | 04:22 |
| rww | |NeXuS|: You're in #ubuntu, so... Ubuntu! | 04:22 |
| rww | |NeXuS|: (see also ##linux for general Linux questions) | 04:23 |
| terr_ | |NeXuS|: depends on what you want to do. I liked debian but they really broke it. I'm going to ubuntu | 04:23 |
| casey | Is there any reason why I can't make a custom launcher in Natty? Such as "Right click on desktop, create new launcher" and so on and so forth. For me it just doesn't do anything. Any ideas? Please help. This is really annoying. | 04:23 |
| usr13 | |NeXuS|: and then, you will ask 25 different people and get 25 different answers. | 04:23 |
| Lasers | terr_: That's funny. It usually work the other way around for me. :) | 04:23 |
| terr_ | usr13: no.. likey 25^2 answers if they are professionals | 04:24 |
| usr13 | quite possibly | 04:24 |
| w0_ | I'm running ubuntu 11.04 and would like to make an ubuntu 11.04 bootable usb drive .. does anyone have a good link? | 04:25 |
| Lasers | !usb | w0_ | 04:25 |
| ubottu | w0_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 04:25 |
| usr13 | |NeXuS|: To tell the truth, you pick the one that has the package management system you like the best. That is what it boils down to. | 04:25 |
| Lasers | w0_: As for bootable disc -- See !remaster -- but how do you put it on usb? I'm thinking dd could do the job. Unsure. | 04:26 |
| w0_ | lasers: that link seems outdated .. having trouble getting usb-creator to work .. | 04:26 |
| w0_ | lasers: it's made for old ubuntu, gnome, should it work on unity? | 04:27 |
| usr13 | Creating USB install? You will find instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download | 04:27 |
| terr_ | usr13: I can likley make my life more easy. I take an old FDD and install it and find an old cd and install it. Or I get tftpd running. | 04:27 |
| rww | jsjgruber_natty_: Hi. Your IRC client is /quitting repeatedly. Please fix that now. | 04:28 |
| casey | Anyone know why my "create launcher" dialog box does not open when I "Right Click on the desktop and then choose create new launcher"? If it matters, I am using Natty. Please help. There is no information on Google that I can find. | 04:28 |
| usr13 | terr_: What kind of PC are you installing on? Does it have an IDE controller? | 04:29 |
| w0_ | argh!! someone else checkout ubuntu.com/download, and the instructon for creating a usb disk FROM ubuntu is outdated, all the screen shots are from 10.04 | 04:29 |
| usr13 | terr_: If it does, plug an IDE CDROM drive in it, cram the kubnutu CD in and away you go. | 04:29 |
| Lasers | w0_: The screenshots are outdated -- yes -- but did you try it yourself? | 04:30 |
| w0_ | I did and I just found it !! =) | 04:30 |

| tripelb | from the community documentation I am understanding that ubuntu on a macbook 2.1 does not support the built-in wireless (airport) - there is a picture with a lock on it. Is this true? ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook2-1/Lucid#Wireless_.28AirPort.29 ) | 04:39 |
| casey | terr_: Really? That's not good. Well thank you for replying. Is there any way around this? Also do you know anything about why Vuze crashes anytime I try to search? | 04:39 |
| terr_ | Cuchulainn: mbr should only affect boot. | 04:39 |
| terr_ | casey: I've never heard of VUSE | 04:39 |
| casey | terr_: It also goes by azreus. | 04:40 |
| casey | terr_: Previous name I should say. | 04:40 |
| terr_ | casey: only way I know is politcal. Like I've told programmers I spervised and managed that they have time to put in proper errror checking and at the end of the day they didn't! | 04:40 |
| chaospsychex | how can i start a irc server? | 04:41 |

| simpleblue | does ubuntu 11.04 come with C++0x installed by default? | 04:41 |
| chaospsychex | i have my reasons | 04:41 |
| chaospsychex | inspirecd? what is that | 04:42 |
| adamix | irc server daemon | 04:42 |
| tripelb | casey I just came in on this. I used transmission with no problems. I hope that helps. (I failed with Vuze/azurus) | 04:42 |
| chaospsychex | whats the package name of the daemon /. | 04:42 |
| terr_ | Cuchulainn: I'd make a disk image with dd and then send the drive to seagate. its like $100 and they will tell you the bill and its under $2000 | 04:43 |
| casey | tripelb: Is there any search features with transmission, because that's what i'm really looking for. From what I saw, it's just to download and upload torrents. | 04:43 |
| tripelb | casey, please be more specific. Do you want to search the internet to look for torrents? | 04:43 |
| casey | tripelb: lol of course not. I can do that with any browser of my liking. I'm looking for a torrent downloading software that will search certain sites for me: such as frostwire, vuze, qb, etc. | 04:44 |
| tripelb | casey if that's what you mean, I have good success with isotorent and google. (it'would be great but I get so many results that want me to pay for their site that I get fruestrated from time to tome) | 04:44 |
| casey | tripelb: Same here. That's why i'm looking for an app that will do that such as the ones listed above. | 04:45 |
| terr_ | Cuchulainn: Only way I'd take on the NTFS issue is if someone will pay $100 per hour after I figure out how to do it. | 04:45 |
| wildbat | Cuchulainn: how you messed you ntfs? ~ there are more and better tools for Windows for NTFS then linus. or you can try testdisk/ photorec. | 04:45 |
| daniel__ | if it's possible to use 4G in ubuntu, do i need som package for it?? | 04:45 |
| tripelb | casey, I dont understand about that so that's my limit. If you want to explain to me you can pm me (since it is off topic) or tell me to go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:45 |
| casey | tripelb: its ok. But thank you for trying. I may have found my answer :). | 04:46 |

| elizabeth | open a terminal? | 05:24 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: yes | 05:24 |
| tensorpudding | it's a program | 05:24 |
| elizabeth | how do i do that? | 05:24 |

| tensorpudding | hit enter | 05:26 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it'll write a bunch of stuff, information about all the parts of your computer, including your webcam | 05:26 |

| elizabeth | yes i saw the webcam name there. well not the actual web cam name but its a device called webcam | 05:28 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: okay | 05:28 |
| kwixson_u | It sometimes just pops up on my desktop. This time it doesn't. | 05:28 |
| tensorpudding | what's the ID | 05:28 |
| elizabeth | 0ac8:3420 | 05:28 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it'll look like four characters, then a :, then four numbers | 05:28 |
| milamber | kwixson_u: this will tell you where the filesystem is: sudo fdisk -l | 05:28 |
| tensorpudding | huh | 05:28 |
| milamber | kwixson_u: then you will have to create a directory and mount the fs there | 05:29 |
| tensorpudding | that should be supported by skype | 05:29 |
| tensorpudding | which version of skype do you have | 05:29 |
| elizabeth | 2.0 | 05:29 |

| elizabeth | how do i find that one out? | 05:32 |
| elizabeth | where is system monitor? | 05:32 |
| milamber | kwixson_u: you can also run the command: df to compare the devices listed to the mount points. and the fs on the card is probably going to be some sort of fat vs the ext3/4 linux | 05:32 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it should be under applications | 05:32 |
| tensorpudding | if your laptop is that old, your grandfather might have put a rather old version of ubuntu on it | 05:33 |
| tensorpudding | you might want a newer one | 05:33 |

| ActionParsnip | elizabeth: what cpu and ram does the system have? | 05:35 |
| kwixson_u | milamber: The df command shows me only the native filesystem and one of the two (the one that is always in this netbook) SD cards I have stuck into the machine. | 05:35 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: i think it's under Applications -> System | 05:35 |
| elizabeth | cpu? ram? | 05:35 |
| milamber | tensorpudding: lsb_release -r ?? | 05:35 |
| kwixson_u | No mention of the 2nd. | 05:35 |
| milamber | kwixson_u: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l and df? | 05:35 |
| AlessonZaire | It might be not so wise to upgrade at this moment, some people are complaining the newest kernel version is having battery problems with notebooks | 05:36 |

| elizabeth | so what does that mean? | 05:36 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: did you find System Monitor in the System submenu of Applications? | 05:36 |
| crash1hd | Can anyone tell me what the limitations are for a wubi install? | 05:36 |
| crash1hd | if any | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Elizabeth: how fast is the cpu? How much ram does it have? If it has a make and model then what is it and we can use that to find out :-) | 05:37 |
| milamber | kwixson_u: then the fs (usually sd something) that is listed on the fdisk, but not the df is the one that still needs to be mounted | 05:37 |
| AlessonZaire | crash1hd none :D | 05:37 |
| tensorpudding | ActionParsnip: she doesn't know about computers, it's a compaq presario 700 | 05:37 |
| AlessonZaire | <- is on a wubi install now | 05:37 |
| crash1hd | Would I be able to use wine without issue? | 05:37 |
| tensorpudding | ActionParsnip: they used amd durons, and had about 256 MB of RAM in default config | 05:37 |
| AlessonZaire | crash1hd yes, I use wine perfectly on a wubi install | 05:37 |
| AlessonZaire | It even runs world of warcraft lol | 05:37 |
| crash1hd | Cool | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | crash1hd: same as a regular install. The ubuntu drive is just stored in a f | 05:37 |
| kwixson_u | http://paste.ubuntu.com/683134/ | 05:38 |
| crash1hd | how about if I choose to give it dedicated hdd space later? can I transfer it or do I have to reinstall? | 05:38 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: if you can't find system monitor, try typing lsb_release -r into the terminal you have open, and tell me what it says | 05:38 |
| UbuN2 | damn | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | crash1hd: you won't be able to access the ubuntu data from windows but the wubi will be able to access the windows data from /host | 05:39 |
| kwixson_u | http://paste.ubuntu.com/683135/ | 05:39 |
| elizabeth | it said no lsb modules are available | 05:39 |
| crash1hd | ActionParsnip, ahh that makes sense | 05:39 |
| AlessonZaire | crash1hd the only difference is that you'll have the ubuntu data and windows data at the same partition, which I find to be quite convenient, but it's always your choice | 05:39 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: what about lsb_release -a | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | crash1hd: there is a wubi to real install method, I've not done it personally | 05:40 |
| arooni-mobile | help! inserted a microsd card via sd card adapter into my thinkpad t420 running 11.04 ubuntu. nothing happens and i'd like my photos! :P | 05:40 |
| elizabeth | i have ubuntu 11.04 | 05:41 |
| crash1hd | ActionParsnip, good to know :) | 05:41 |
| crash1hd | thanks | 05:41 |
| UbuN2 | nice! | 05:41 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: really? | 05:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Elizabeth: or: cat /etc/lsb-release | 05:41 |
| elizabeth | yeah is that good | 05:41 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: that's the newest version | 05:41 |
| kwixson_u | arooni-mobile: getting help with essentially the same problem myself. | 05:41 |
| elizabeth | well crap why isnt my cam working? lol | 05:41 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: so it's somewhat strange | 05:41 |
| milamber | kwixson_u: it doesn't look like the machine recognizes it at all. can you eject and reinstall, then run dmesg ? | 05:41 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: i think the version of skype available in ubuntu 11.04 is newer than the one you say you have | 05:41 |
| ActionParsnip | arooni-mobile: does it pick up if you boot with it all plugged in? | 05:42 |
| UbuN2 | did u install a .deb file elizabeth ? | 05:42 |
| tensorpudding | UbuN2: she didn't install it, her grandfather did... | 05:42 |
| arooni-mobile | ActionParsnip, havent tried that | 05:42 |
| UbuN2 | ah! | 05:42 |
| elizabeth | it says skype 2.2 beta for linux. | 05:42 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: try opening the Ubuntu Software Center, and search for skype | 05:42 |
| UbuN2 | then its latest | 05:42 |
| elizabeth | where do i find the software center | 05:43 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: you said 2.0 earlier | 05:43 |
| elizabeth | lol | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | elizabeth: if you install and run cheese, do you see yourself? | 05:43 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it's a program | 05:43 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it'll be under applications | 05:43 |
| chris4916_ | NICK chris4916 | 05:43 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: you want to search for and install a programm called cheese, it's an alternative to skype | 05:43 |
| solofight | thanks guys adobe 10 has corrected this error of replacing the opened file with the new one | 05:44 |
| UbuN2 | wht happens when elizabeth executes skype ?! | 05:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Except doesnt make calls | 05:44 |
| elizabeth | exactally what happens when i get rid of skype? and can i talk to people on skype with cheese? | 05:44 |
| tensorpudding | yes, it can use your webcam to do other things | 05:44 |
| tensorpudding | no | 05:44 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: adobe 10 doesnt exist | 05:44 |
| tensorpudding | but it does use your webcam | 05:44 |
| UbuN2 | does skype work ? | 05:45 |
| tensorpudding | if cheese works and skype doesn't it might tell us what the issue is | 05:45 |
| elizabeth | well my family only has skype. | 05:45 |
| elizabeth | oh ok so i have to find cheese program thing to try it out | 05:45 |
| elizabeth | where do i find that | 05:45 |
| kwixson_u | milamber: http://paste.ubuntu.com/683139/ | 05:45 |
| solofight | ActionParsnip: what ! just now i installed Adobe acrobat X | 05:45 |
| tensorpudding | you need to open the software center, like i said | 05:45 |
| UbuN2 | does skype work ? <=== elizabeth | 05:45 |
| tensorpudding | and search for cheese | 05:45 |
| elizabeth | i dk where the software center is. | 05:45 |
| elizabeth | and yeah skype the typing part works but my cam and mic dont. | 05:46 |
| elizabeth | its a usb cam | 05:46 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it's in applications | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | elizabeth: skype is notoriously bad at stuff, webcams will often work in other apps and not skype. There are extra steps to take to make it work. | 05:46 |
| UbuN2 | ^^ | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Elizabeth: sudo apt-get install cheese | 05:46 |
| elizabeth | i am not even seeing an applications option either. i see accesories and thats pretty much it | 05:47 |
| terr_ | ActionParsnip: just jumpin in. Give me something better than skype | 05:47 |
| solofight | what software ubuntu uses by default to handle pdf files ? | 05:47 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it's at the bottom | 05:47 |
| elizabeth | my grandpa put a bit torrent on here would that wokr | 05:47 |
| UbuN2 | applications > sound & video > cheese booth webcam | 05:47 |
| tensorpudding | no | 05:47 |
| elizabeth | its at the bottom of what | 05:47 |
| UbuN2 | does it work elizabeth | 05:47 |
| elizabeth | does what work? | 05:48 |
| UbuN2 | applications > sound & video > cheese booth webcam | 05:48 |
| tensorpudding | it's not going to work, because cheese won't be installed already... | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: aaah. Adobe ACROBAT 10. That does exist, however "adobe 10" does not. Do people run "Microsoft 7" as their OS too? | 05:48 |
| elizabeth | where is applications at the bottom of what? | 05:48 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it's at the bottom of the applications menu | 05:48 |
| zay | dear all | 05:48 |
| zay | can I put on the system configuration remastered with remastersys | 05:48 |
| RvPup | if i tried to do a full install to the 2nd hard drive (sdb1) and now sda1 only has 3 files in it ....something went wrong huh? | 05:48 |
| elizabeth | let me put this a little more into perspective for you. i am a blonde who knows horses not computers lol. | 05:49 |
| elizabeth | i cant find applications anywere | 05:50 |
| terr_ | elizabeth: my gf knows more than you | 05:50 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: what's at the top-left of the screen | 05:50 |
| solofight | ActionParsnip: yes people run ms 7 as their os in cases they want to utilize ms office 2007's excellent features | 05:50 |
| elizabeth | this chat window | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Elizabeth: i gave a command to run in terminal, did it run ok? | 05:50 |
| zay | I want to remaster the results can directly connect to ldap server | 05:50 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: no, on the big bar on the top of the screen | 05:50 |
| zay | any body can help me | 05:50 |
| elizabeth | for the chat window? | 05:50 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: is there a menu saying Applications, or is there a button with a ring-shaped logo in it? | 05:50 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: above the chat window | 05:51 |
| solofight | why dont somebody take her system remotely and help elizabeth ? that would save everybody lots of time | 05:51 |
| solofight | ? | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: no, it Microsoft WINDOWS 7. "Microsoft 7" doesn't exist either. | 05:51 |
| elizabeth | there is nothing above the chat window. its just the chat window and my background | 05:51 |
| solofight | ActionParsnip: forgive me for that | 05:52 |
| tensorpudding | oh christ, you might not even be using gnome | 05:52 |
| elizabeth | no it says xchat | 05:52 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: what happens when you hit the Print Screen key | 05:52 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it should take a screenshot of your desktop | 05:52 |
| elizabeth | nothing | 05:52 |
| tensorpudding | okay, you're not using gnome | 05:52 |
| zruty | I have a SMB share defined for alocal user, how does that user connect to it with Win? | 05:52 |
| tensorpudding | and unless i know what you're using it's hard to help you | 05:53 |
| elizabeth | i didnt see any change when i hit prntscrn | 05:53 |
| tensorpudding | how are you opening programs | 05:53 |
| solofight | elizabeth: allow somebody here to take your system remotely and help you, it will be over before you know it | 05:53 |
| elizabeth | with my start menu i dk. | 05:53 |
| tensorpudding | start...menu? | 05:53 |
| solofight | whats dk ? | 05:53 |
| tensorpudding | oh | 05:53 |
| tensorpudding | what is at the bottom left of your screen? | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Elizabeth: copy this command: sudo apt-get install cheese press Ctrl+Alt+T and paste the command into the terminal. Type your password (you will get no feedback) and hit enter to finish | 05:53 |
| elizabeth | yeah the little circle at the bottom looks like an airplain going throught it | 05:54 |
| tensorpudding | like a K? | 05:54 |
| elizabeth | one on its face kinda | 05:54 |
| elizabeth | yeah i can see how it would look like a k on its face | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: its cool, just makes support easier when you use full product names | 05:54 |
| tensorpudding | okay, so you're using kde instead.. | 05:54 |
| elizabeth | whats kde? | 05:55 |
| tensorpudding | does kde have the software center? | 05:55 |
| solofight | #kubuntu ? | 05:55 |
| tensorpudding | it doesn't matter | 05:55 |
| solofight | clear | 05:56 |
| tensorpudding | just go to the terminal | 05:56 |
| tensorpudding | and do 'sudo apt-get install cheese' | 05:56 |
| solofight | damn wrong window | 05:56 |
| UbuN2 | lol | 05:56 |
| kwixson_u | Any love for my SD mounting problem? | 05:56 |
| elizabeth | its spitting out a bunch of info. | 05:57 |
| UbuN2 | yes its getting the software | 05:58 |
| elizabeth | its asking if i want to continue? | 05:58 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: yes | 05:58 |
| tensorpudding | it'll ask for a password | 05:58 |
| tensorpudding | use the one that you login with | 05:58 |
| elizabeth | it already asked for my password | 05:58 |
| rodhash | Hi guys.. In lauchpad site how can I download the file 102-disable-page-flipping-v2.patch for my intel driver? | 05:58 |
| === timj is now known as timjs | ||
| rodhash | I'm not finding it | 05:59 |
| elizabeth | ok now its done spitting out stuff and is asking for another command | 05:59 |
| UbuN2 | open it rodhash and click file save as on browser | 05:59 |
| elizabeth | like before i asked it to install cheese | 05:59 |
| rodhash | UbuN2: My problem is to find it | 06:00 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: okay, that means that cheese is installed | 06:01 |
| elizabeth | ok how do i run it | 06:01 |
| elizabeth | to see what the problem with my web cam and skype is | 06:01 |
| tensorpudding | elizabeth: it'll be in the menu of applications, search for its name | 06:01 |
| elizabeth | ok i got cheese kinda | 06:02 |
| elizabeth | it took a picture of me with out me asking too | 06:02 |
| tensorpudding | okay | 06:02 |
| tensorpudding | that means the webcam works with cheese | 06:02 |
| tensorpudding | if it doesn't work with skype, that's probably a skype issue | 06:03 |
| tensorpudding | not sure how to fix that | 06:03 |
| elizabeth | ok thanks anyways. i will talk to my grandpa tomorrow. you guys have been very awesome tonight/today. | 06:04 |

| elizabeth | thank you | 06:04 |
| elizabeth | its ok | 06:04 |

| milamber | !info mysql-workbench-gpl | bullgard4_ | 06:16 |
| ubottu | bullgard4_: Package mysql-workbench-gpl does not exist in natty | 06:16 |
| === DoomsDayHQ is now known as DystaN | ||
| milamber | bullgard4_: then i believe not. i use the current from their site | 06:18 |
| bullgard4_ | milamber: Does -gpl stand for General_Public_License? | 06:18 |
| z3ro3x | I used the alternate cd to install Ubuntu 11.04 into a virtual machine (I'm experimenting here) with /boot as first primary and everything else (swap, /, /home) in an encrypted LVM. MY question is, if I ever want to do a fresh install in the future as opposed to a upgrade, how do I unlock the encrypted LVM during the setup process and tell it not to reformat /home? Normally when I do a fresh reinstall I can tell the partition manager | 06:19 |
| z3ro3x | not to format /home and I'm good. But with this new setup it's way more complicated. | 06:19 |
| milamber | bullgard4_: yes. i thought i got it from the repos, but i have reported several bugs (that have been fixed). so current is probably going to be your best bet. | 06:19 |
| bullgard4_ | milamber: What do you mean by "their"? Do you mean Oracle's website? | 06:19 |
| milamber | bullgard4_: yes(ish) http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/5.2.html#downloads | 06:21 |
| crash1hd | ok when dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu is it always best to install windows first? | 06:22 |
| crash1hd | I want ubuntu to be the primary and windows to be the secondary | 06:22 |
| Onlyodin | crash1hd, imho, yes. | 06:22 |
| crash1hd | where ubuntu takes up like 90% of the hdd | 06:22 |
| crash1hd | thanks :) | 06:22 |
| Nicolus | is there a tool on linux to check if two files are identical or not ? | 06:22 |
| bullgard4_ | milamber: I still do not know if I should download this package because "The new {MySQL Workbnch} application however still does not support data Migration which was a part of the old tool set." | 06:22 |
| Onlyodin | Ubuntu can resize your partitions - at least it did when I installed it alongside windows. | 06:22 |
| crash1hd | I just want windows 7 for some games that might be down the road that I am not able to get working on ubuntu | 06:23 |
| Onlyodin | Nicolus, md5sum | 06:23 |
| Nicolus | Onlyodin, sudo apt-get install md5sum ? | 06:23 |
| crash1hd | Hmm this one might be tricky but how much space should I dedicate to windows7? | 06:23 |
| zHammeRz | none | 06:23 |
| zHammeRz | just get rid of it :) | 06:24 |
| Onlyodin | Nicolus, man md5sum | 06:24 |
| crash1hd | haha lol | 06:24 |
| milamber | bullgard4_: i never used the gui tools, so i don't know what you would be missing. are you looking at a migration soon? | 06:24 |
| crash1hd | Like I said I want it for the few things that I cant get wine to do :) | 06:24 |
| zHammeRz | can it be done in a v-box? | 06:24 |
| crash1hd | zHammeRz, no cause I need full hardware support for those few things | 06:25 |
| Onlyodin | crash1hd, I'd leave at least 20Gb, if not 30Gb. bear in mind Ubuntu can read a Windows/NTFS partition, but Windows wont know what the linux partitions are | 06:25 |
| crash1hd | zHammeRz, or I would :) | 06:25 |
| crash1hd | Onlyodin, right :) thanks | 06:25 |
| Onlyodin | I used to have my windows partition taking up ~80% of the drive, and I'd store crap on it, so that both environments could access it. | 06:26 |
| scarleo | Hi, I cant authorize in some places, like in system settings, I know password is correct. sudo is working fine. What is wrong? | 06:26 |
| milamber | scarleo: what exactly are you trying to do? | 06:26 |
| scarleo | milamber: editing user groups | 06:26 |
| bullgard4_ | milamber: I'd like to migrate from my embedded HSQLDB to a MySQL database along the lines of http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6924. | 06:27 |
| scarleo | milamber: when I click advanced button authorization pops up but password dowsn't work | 06:27 |
| bullgard4_ | scarleo: Please be very careful when editing user groups. Back up first. You may damage your system easily, and this will be tediousl to fix. | 06:28 |
| bullgard4_ | -l | 06:29 |
| scarleo | bullgard4_: ok, I will | 06:29 |

| Nicolus | thanks Onlyodin | 06:32 |
| milamber | bullgard4_: java written database, eh? i have only done csv export and import and it has worked pretty well for me. | 06:32 |
| dcg__ | Hi all, anyone with .asoundrc experience about? | 06:33 |
| milamber | scarleo: not sure why it is doing that, but a workaround may be to start it from the terminal w/ gksu | 06:33 |
| Onlyodin | Nicolus, you're welcome. | 06:33 |
| Nicolus | Onlyodin, see you around :) | 06:33 |
| bullgard4_ | milamber: Yes, my old HSQLDB database is written in Java. I have tried CSV export. This produces bad results because contents in one table field often ends with a quotation mark. | 06:35 |

On monday he somehow fails mount the device with follo | 08:02 |

| BlackAss | Nicolus, i think u need script no idea sorry | 08:57 |

| cristian_c | Hi | 09:00 |
| 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. | 09:00 |
| cristian_c | In this case the key was correctly recognized as XF86Mail and has been included 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. | 09:00 |
| 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 | 09:01 |

| dr-willis | BlackAss: you may need to load the right modules. | 09:17 |
| Mumie | so a working line would be: "echo DIGD | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/switcheroo/switch" ? Damn, I dont know nothing about what i am doing here xD | 09:17 |

| DJones | !vm | aple You could run one os inside a virtual machine | 09:25 |

| ActionParsnip | aple: running both OSes at the same times uses a lot of ram and cpu | 09:28 |
| cillo564 | ActionParsnip: I was thinking is ther more graphical tools than what comes default in gnome or kde system tools | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | aple: if you want native USB access then install the closed source vitualbox from the virtualbox ppa | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | cillo564: I guess there are, not sure though. What do you want to tweak? | 09:28 |

| Soothsayer | ActionParsnip, and where's the startup script file located? | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | lboken: installing gnome3 on natty will more than likely break stuff, just so you know | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Soothsayer: /etc/rc.d afaik | 09:32 |
| aple | ActionParsnip: What was that bit about USB? I have an external HD I need to access frequently but probably not from Ubuntu (which would be in the virtualbox). | 09:33 |
| dr-willis | aple the usb stuff is for directly acessing a usb device. not needed in your example. | 09:34 |
| chris-- | susundberg, Jordan_U: hey its me again. just wanted to say that mount by label seems to work fine :) just one more question since i cant test it at the moment: can i also eject the device by label then ? /usr/bin/eject /dev/disk/by-label/$LABEL ? | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | aple: then if you want access to it then you will need to add the virtualbox ppa and install the closed source one from there: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 09:34 |

| cillo564 | ActionParsnip: im looking generally what i can tweak, is there more apps like ubuntu-tweak? | 09:35 |
| susundberg | chris--: afaik sure you can " The device corresponding to <name> is ejected. The name can be a device file or | 09:35 |
| susundberg | mount point, either a full path or with the leading "/dev", "/media" or "/mnt" | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | cillo564: not sure there dude | 09:35 |
| susundberg | omitted. If no name is specified, the default name "cdrom" is used." | 09:35 |
| aple | ActionParsnip: But I can do that from within Ubuntu's virtualbox right? Then just restart VirtualBox and it will recognize the USB? | 09:35 |
| lboken | ok so basicly the gnome 3 is not compatible with ubuntu yet | 09:36 |
| lboken | thanks then for the information | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | aple: not sure of that, could try it. You can always add the extra software source later and install virtualbox-4.1 | 09:36 |

| Soothsayer | ActionParsnip, oh, I found mongodb in the Bump gui.. but I can't seem to edit it | 09:40 |
| dr-willis | qmr been that way for ages. | 09:40 |

| Soothsayer | What all are the startup script files on ubuntu? | 09:45 |
| qmr | html: is that good or bad? :P | 09:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | qmr, I stick with LTS versions; unless ones hdw is cutting/bleeding edge, for me, that's the best bet. Sorry you're having problems w/Natty. | 09:45 |
| qmr | Soothsayer: /etc/rc.d/ | 09:45 |
| Soothsayer | qmr, I don't have that file. | 09:46 |
| Soothsayer | I have an rc.local (file) and rc0.d , rc1.d, etc, etc which are directories | 09:46 |
| qmr | well that's not quite correct. it's /etc/init.d/, and /etc/rc[1-6].d for various runlevels | 09:46 |

| ActionParsnip | qmr: does it happen as all users? | 09:47 |
| qmr | ActionParsnip: single user system | 09:47 |
| Soothsayer | qmr, so /etc/init.d/apache2 is what causes apache to start at boot? | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: no, Ubuntu is a multi-user OS | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: make ANOTHER user and see if it's the same with vanilla settings | 09:48 |
| qmr | Soothsayer: that's teh apache control script, it's started from ... | 09:48 |
| qmr | why don't you put that in a memo and entitle it "Shit I Already Know" | 09:48 |
| auronandace | qmr: seriously, watch the language | 09:49 |
| qmr | Soothsayer: the bit that starts apache is going to be something like /etc/rc2.d/S20apache2 | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: your settings for nautilus may be corrupted, if the app reads them it may hang. A new user with default settings behaving the same way as the current user will point to the app being defective, if it is ok then it is simply your user settings which are bad | 09:50 |
| qmr | it's not a regularly occuring problem though | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | qmr: its worth exploring | 09:51 |
| uabn93 | hi | 09:51 |
| qmr | hai | 09:51 |
| Sidewinder1 | qmr, And if the apps defective, you could try totally removing it and reinstalling (Nautilus). | 09:51 |
| Soothsayer | qmr, wow, these files go over my head. I expected there to be just one line saying apache2ctl restart or something | 09:52 |
| Sidewinder1 | qmr, But you probably already know that. :D | 09:52 |
| wh1zz0 | Hello everyone, my hibernate does not work. It wored before but it no longer works, I use Dell Vostro 1310 and i"m on natty | 09:52 |
| Myrtti | actuallty, sudo service apache2 start, or somesuch | 09:52 |
| qmr | I just need to install 10.04 or whenever ubuntu was last junk | 09:52 |
| uabn93 | i downloaded the latest mupen64plus, ran install.sh in terminal, it installed. now what? how do i run the program? | 09:52 |
| qmr | Soothsayer: what are you wanting to change about how apache runs or when it runs or? | 09:53 |
| wh1zz0 | Hello everyone, my hibernate does not work. It worked before but it no longer works, I use Dell Vostro 1310 and i"m on natty.. Please how can I get it working again? | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | uabn93: if you run: which muppen64plus does it output anything? | 09:53 |
| === fisted_ is now known as fisted | ||
| Sidewinder1 | qmr, 10.04 works (almost) flawlessly for me. | 09:53 |
| qmr | wh1zz0: tried booting old kernels? | 09:53 |
| Soothsayer | qmr, I want to actually change the startup configuration used for mongodb, not apache. | 09:53 |
| wh1zz0 | qmr: How do I do that? When it's loading I hold shift right/ | 09:53 |
| wh1zz0 | ? | 09:53 |
| Soothsayer | normally, I started it with the command sudo mongod --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb/ but I want to see how does it start on boot. | 09:54 |
| qmr | wh1zz0: when your computer starts you should see a GRUB screen with your configured OS's listed.. old kernels will be an option there | 09:54 |
| qmr | wh1zz0: did this loss of functionality happen after a kernel update? Or other software update? | 09:54 |
| aple | ActionParsnip: So, once I make this VirtualBox, will it save it's state or do I have to do that manually? For instance, if I download a bunch of apps and such on the Ubuntu virtualbox, will they load the next time I hit "Start" or do I have to save that state lest I start off on a clean Ubuntu install every time? | 09:54 |
| uabn93 | ActionParsnip: its in /usr/local/bin/mupen64plus how do i go about opening it? | 09:54 |
| qmr | aple: the virtualbox is persistent | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | uabn93: you can make a launcher on the desktop to run that comamnd and you can then double click the launcher | 09:55 |
| wh1zz0 | qmr: I have just one OS .. which is ubuntu.. when my computer starts it just shows DELL, then purple and then writes ubuntu and heads to the login screen | 09:55 |
| qmr | wh1zz0: it sounds like you have timeout 0 in grub or such .. | 09:56 |
| movan2011 | Hi there. I'm using "classic" Gnome (2.32) on Ubuntu 11.04 and added a drawer applet to a left-hand panel. When you first add thing into the panel it work fine, but once you log out (or killall gnome-panel) it doesn't show when you click it. | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | aple: you can stop systems and save state, or you can shut them down etc. The updates and changes you make are persistent between boots | 09:56 |
| qmr | wh1zz0: or try pressing shift key when your computer comes on? | 09:56 |
| wh1zz0 | qmr: I'm guessing it must have happened after I installed something, but I am not sure what because I installed a whole lot of things on that day | 09:56 |
| damo22 | wh1zz0: hold left shift while pc boots | 09:56 |
| movan2011 | Eventually figured out how to get it showing but now it seems oriented in the top left corner of the screen and I can't move it and ubuntu seems to ignore any changes I make to its position properties. Anyone know how to fix this? | 09:57 |
| wh1zz0 | qmr: So which of the kernels do you sugges I boot? | 09:57 |
| qmr | wh1zz0: NOT whatever the highest numbered one is. go backwards one by one until you find one that hibernates properly | 09:57 |
| aple | ActionParsnip, qmr: So interesting :))) | 09:57 |
| wh1zz0 | qmr, damo22: But will this affect any setting I have or will it roll back any installed program? | 09:58 |
| qmr | wh1zz0: no. this is booting a different kernel image. you're still running the same software | 09:58 |
| damo22 | wh1zz0: it will just load a different kernel, all the apps stay intact | 09:58 |
| Brutus- | Hi | 09:59 |

| uabn93 | ActionParsnip: for some reason, creating a shortcut doesn't open the program | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | uabn93: you can run: alacarte and add to the menu that way | 10:02 |
| damo22 | there are way too many verbs in latin that mean to kill | 10:04 |

| jasef | Hey uhm, I'm getting ready to fresh install 11.10 over my 11.04 installation, but I just remembered I chose to encrypt my home folder, is there any way to reverse this so all my files are accessible when I install 11.10? | 10:08 |
| damo22 | jasef: make sure you know the password that encypts your data, and preferably which algorithm | 10:10 |
| jasef | I know my password, but I don't know what algorithm Ubuntu encrypts home folders with. | 10:11 |
| damo22 | jasef: good point, neither do i | 10:11 |
| dr-willis | when in doubt... backup... ;) | 10:12 |
| damo22 | jasef: is your home folder on a separate partition? | 10:12 |
| Brutus- | i can't find the acpid deamon listed among the processes in the system monitor. Is acpid the name of the daemon? | 10:13 |
| aeplus | full disk encryption is awesome, but it does not seem to be available on the main installation media (alternate install CD supports it though) | 10:13 |

| === Badgerpo1 is now known as Badgerpoo | ||
| damo22 | Dori922: cylinders/heads/sectors are not really relevant in todays hardware as everything is logical block addressing | 10:16 |
| kescc | how do i "reboot your computer and select the Linux kernel 3.0 entry on your GRUB boot loader." | 10:16 |
| dr-willis | Dori922: wikipedia pages on hard drives and partitions is a good start. | 10:17 |
| uabn93 | kescc: use your keyboard arrows | 10:17 |
| kescc | uabn93 what do you mean, when | 10:17 |
| aeplus | lol | 10:17 |
| damo22 | Dori922: although if you are doing something strange like rebuilding a usb-zip drive you might need it | 10:17 |
| kescc | uabn93 when at reboot i should use arrows? | 10:17 |
| kescc | uabn93 i dont even know what is GRUB, explaine please | 10:18 |
| aple1 | How much RAM should I allocate for this Ubuntu VirtualBox y'think? | 10:18 |
| aple1 | 4gb total | 10:18 |
| oCean | kescc: explain what are you trying to do? There is no 3.0 kernel in current ubuntu version | 10:18 |
| aple1 | Doing a lot of Photoshop on Win7 | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | uabn93: what will rebooting achieve? | 10:18 |
| damo22 | aple1: probably not more than 50% of your total ram? | 10:18 |
| aple1 | I was thinking 768mb. | 10:19 |
| kescc | oCean yes it is, i am trying http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Linux-Kernel-3-0-on-Ubuntu-11-04-217409.shtml | 10:19 |

| uabn93 | kescc: grub is the black screen that shows up when you boot up your computer. when you see that screen, u get 10 seconds to choose which operating system to boot. use the up and down arrows and enter to select | 10:19 |
| Dori922 | damo22: when i use fdisk it asks me about stuff like cylinders :o | 10:19 |
| damo22 | Dori922: thats not too hard, try gparted | 10:19 |
| oCean | kescc: that kernel is from a PPA, those are not supported 3rd party repositories. Be very careful when using PPA's | 10:19 |
| kescc | kescc i dont get that, i have only ubuntu on this machine | 10:20 |
| kescc | uabn93 ^ | 10:20 |
| Dori922 | damo22: isnt that a gui system? i dont have a gui on the server :s | 10:20 |
| ultrixx | jasef: ubuntu uses aes+xts for harddisk encryption | 10:20 |
| damo22 | Dori922: oh okay, then i know how to do it | 10:20 |
| damo22 | Dori922: it will be painful from command line though | 10:21 |
| uabn93 | kescc: if you only have ubuntu, then a list will show up when you have more that one kernel installed | 10:21 |
| Dori922 | damo22: if i had a gui it would be fine but i dont :P unless i install a gnome gui and then uninstall when the partitions are done... | 10:21 |
| jasef | ultrixx, thanks. I'm thinking I might just go the easy cheap way and copy the files out and then back in after installing 11.10 lol... | 10:21 |
| damo22 | Dori922: perhaps you can boot the server into a livecd and use gparted | 10:22 |
| damo22 | Dori922: so you dont have to touch the server install, just run the livecd temporarily while you partition the drive in a gui | 10:23 |

| damo22 | Dori922: are you sure you want separate partitions for each user, or just a partition for /home | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lng: then you may need to upgrade to maverick, or find a ppa with the app | 10:26 |
| knoppix | tendua | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | lng: mixing packages between releases is not advised or supported | 10:26 |

| Dori922 | dr-willis: damo22: will partitioning give no benifits at all? :s | 10:30 |
| dr-willis | Dori922: i cant really think if any | 10:30 |
| dr-willis | unless they are on diff hds. | 10:31 |
| dr-willis | then you could see some speed gains i guess | 10:31 |
| maxii | wats new with ubuntu 11.04 | 10:31 |
| damo22 | Dori922: partitioning means you can easily back up an encypted partition using dd | 10:31 |

| Dori922 | damo22: might be worth the extra effort... | 10:32 |
| damo22 | Dori922: i shudder at the thought of encrypting a whole partition though | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: put it wherever you want | 10:33 |
| damo22 | Dori922: you will suffer a speed loss | 10:33 |
| aple1 | So it only needs loaded once? | 10:33 |
| aple1 | Then I can delete it? | 10:33 |
| aple1 | Or will the iso always need to be fetched? | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: you just tell the virtualbox to use it, be sure you MD5 test the ISO before you use it | 10:33 |
| Dori922 | damo22: the partitions are only gonna be ~20gb though and they need to be as secure as possible, i have a i7 8core cpu with 8gb ram so im hoping that keeps speed loss low | 10:33 |
| aple1 | MD5? | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: once the OS is installed, you can delete the instal ISO if you wish | 10:34 |

| Hyperbyte | kvarley, where are you looking for your CPU speed? cat /proc/cpuinfo ? | 10:40 |
| damo22 | Dori922: one thing i know for sure, if there is a physical disk error, likely you will lose the whole partition rather than just a sector from a file | 10:40 |
| Badgerpoo | My Ubuntu 11.04 PC lost it's global ipv6 address yesterday. It still has a link local address, but is now ignoring the RA packets. tcpdump sees the RA packets arriving, and some other ipv6 traffic on eth0. The network widget has been set to "ignore" and "automatic" but neither work. | 10:40 |
| kvarley | Hyperbyte: In System Monitor and cpuinfo it shows the 2.93GHz speed rather than 4GHz. The output of my cpuinfo can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/683403/ | 10:41 |
| Hyperbyte | kvarley, /proc/cpuinfo even shows 1.2 ghz. I'd say there is CPU scaling active on your system (to decrease warmth and power usage of CPU), which ignores the BIOS overclock. | 10:42 |
| kvarley | Hyperbyte: CPU scaling running within Ubuntu or as part of the hardware or something? | 10:44 |
| damo22 | Dori922: in my opinion you should chop the remainder of the terabyte in half and use one just for backups of the main one | 10:44 |
| Dori922 | damo22: chop as in make primary partitions? | 10:44 |
| Hyperbyte | kvarley, which Ubuntu version? | 10:45 |

| Hyperbyte | kvarley, hrm... not sure actually. My CPU on 11.04 x86_64 is scaling too, but no idea what part of the OS (assuming for a second it is the OS) is responsible for it. | 10:47 |
| skpl | can someone help me please? i installed gnome-shell but forgot to tell my machine to load the gdm, so it's trying to logon automatically without success | 10:48 |
| damo22 | Dori922: then you can backup the MBR as well so you keep the whole partition table in one place, with 4 partitions they can all be primary | 10:48 |
| Seryth | michael_p hey :) | 10:48 |
| michael_p | hey | 10:48 |
| Hyperbyte | kvarley, I suppose it could be the BIOS as well, if you have some cool 'n quiet feature enabled. Sorry, no idea anymore. I don't overclock, so never ran into this. | 10:49 |
| kvarley | Hyperbyte: It's strange isn't it. This computer came with windows 7 on it and that also said the stock speed and not the overclocked one. I'd like to know how to turn scaling off for when I want to encode video or do something cpu intensive. Forums post maybe? | 10:49 |
| michael_p | just getting the dvd version | 10:49 |
| Seryth | cd* | 10:49 |
| Dori922 | damo22: and then with permissions ill be able to keep users as only having read/write permissions for their "home" drives(and set quota's to stop overuse?) | 10:49 |
| kvarley | Hyperbyte: I bought the pc as a prebuilt custom system which came overclocked so I guess I'll have to look! Thanks for all the help anyway :) | 10:49 |
| Hyperbyte | kvarley, you could try to max out the CPU and see what /proc/cpuinfo reports. | 10:49 |
| damo22 | Dori922: correct (home directories) | 10:49 |
| damo22 | Dori922: they would all be sharing one /home partition | 10:50 |
| Hyperbyte | kvarley, /proc/cpuinfo will always report the current megahertz the CPU is scaled to after "cpu MHz", not the maximum. It could be that it's scaling it to the overclocked value, while other tools still report the stock information. | 10:50 |
| Hyperbyte | kvarley, so by maxing it out and seeing what /proc/cpuinfo says you'll learn what value it's really running at when it matters. | 10:51 |
| skpl | is there anyway i can get ubuntu to load the gdm from the terminal instead of trying to login automaticaslly? | 10:51 |
| kvarley | Hyperbyte: All 4 cores run at 2.93GHz when encoding, which is maxed out to the stock value...hmmmm | 10:52 |
| damo22 | skpl: do you mean you want to disable gdm from starting at boot, then launch it manually from the console? | 10:53 |
| kristoffer_ | please help me i messed up my system by following this guide: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Linux-Kernel-3-0-on-Ubuntu-11-04-217409.shtml and i got errors so i tried to reboot and now it doesent come to the login screen just that Ubuntu loader screen and then it freezes, and then to some text with no gUI if i go crazy on the keyboard while the ubuntu startup screen is loading that tells me to login and password, what | 10:53 |
| kristoffer_ | should i do now and how can i enter gRUB, like it sais on the guide? | 10:53 |
| jrib | kristoffer_: just choose the earlier kernel in grub | 10:54 |
| kristoffer_ | jrib how do i enter it? | 10:54 |
| Dori922 | dddbmt: okey so in /home primary partition all users are added and in that partition their own directories are stored(ie user1 has "User1Homedir" with a 20gb disk quota and permissions to only access that folder).. | 10:54 |
| jrib | kristoffer_: hold shift during boot | 10:54 |
| xxzz | hello where i can find netbook edition download | 10:54 |
| Lasers | !unr | xxzz | 10:54 |
| ubottu | xxzz: 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. | 10:54 |
| kristoffer_ | jrib ok ill try | 10:54 |
| dddbmt | Dori922, huh? | 10:55 |
| Dori922 | woops | 10:55 |
| xxzz | ok so i get 32 bit and install it, i trust the same should work with kbuntu then | 10:55 |
| damo22 | Dori922: yes | 10:55 |
| Dori922 | thanks :D damo22 ! | 10:56 |
| dddbmt | ;) | 10:56 |
| aeplus | xxzz, i got 11.04 installed on my mini9 with 4gigs of hd space... it requires some workarounds | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | there is a 3rd party ppa for the old netbook interface if you desire it... | 10:57 |
| skpl | damo22, well what i did was install gnome shell and i know this breaks unity, so what i would like to do is select gnome-shell from the gdm menu buit i have my computer set to login automatically, which it is trying to do unsuccesfuylly right now, is there anyway to load gdm without having started X yet? | 10:57 |
| damo22 | Dori922: once you have the partitioning done and grub installed, you should back up the MBR for your server so should you lose the partition table you can recover the /home partition with all their data | 10:57 |
| padi999 | Hi all, I would like to ask if there exist a simple and quick image-by-image editor for only changing image-name and meta data, nothing else. I would like this for pix from the digicam to archive the images correctly and not open each one individually in gimp (yes, gimp is great but not for this kind of task. Please don't TLDR' me ^^, thx!) | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | padi999: shotwell maybe | 10:58 |
| xxzz | aeplus, space no issue. i have 250 gig | 10:58 |
| awise12 | !info picasa | padi999 | 10:59 |
| ubottu | padi999: Package picasa does not exist in natty | 10:59 |
| awise12 | !info fotoxx | padi999 | 10:59 |
| ubottu | padi999: fotoxx (source: fotoxx): easy-to-use digital photo editor. In component universe, is extra. Version 10.7-1ubuntu2 (natty), package size 1064 kB, installed size 2252 kB | 10:59 |
| damo22 | skp1: not sure what you have done im no expert on gnome but you can try sudo service gdm stop; sudo service gdm start | 10:59 |
| aeplus | xxzz, oh... nm, with 250gb it sounds like a desktop replacement | 10:59 |
| xxzz | aeplus, yeah | 10:59 |
| skpl | damo22, ok i will | 10:59 |
| padi999 | awise12 and ActionParsnip thank you | 11:00 |
| xxzz | trying to get that on Eee PC 1011PX | 11:00 |
| aple1 | ActionParsnip: Yeah, good checksum :) | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: good | 11:00 |
| skpl | damo22, no, that didnt bring up the login screen | 11:01 |
| teddyroosebelt | is it worth running dist-upgrade for the new 11.10A update? | 11:01 |
| jrib | padi999: try exiv2 if you want something command-line or just use your favorite language's exif library | 11:01 |
| damo22 | skp1: check the Xorg logs in /var/log/Xorg... | 11:01 |
| Dori922 | damo22: thanks a mil for this :D | 11:01 |
| skpl | damo22, what should i be looking for? | 11:02 |
| damo22 | Dori922: no worries | 11:02 |
| padi999 | jrib: obviously I need to see the image I am metatagging/renaming while I go through the images | 11:02 |
| damo22 | skp1: (EE) or (WW) | 11:02 |
| jrib | padi999: so? | 11:02 |
| padi999 | so a commandline tool does not help here | 11:03 |
| padi999 | What I need is a program that shows me a picture and editable metadata on the side and the name of the file, too. Then an arrow that sends me to the next picture, simple, right? | 11:03 |
| jrib | padi999: it depends on how you want to do it. Just offering you options | 11:03 |
| skpl | damo22, i got a fatal server error | 11:04 |
| padi999 | This is for ehancing the workflow of the process. | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | padi999: shotwell and f-spot allow metadata editing and renaming.... | 11:05 |
| damo22 | skp1: does the error message fit on one line? | 11:05 |
| padi999 | ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip perfect | 11:05 |
| michael_p | ubuntu can except all graphics cards cause mine is a xfx 250 gts | 11:06 |
| skpl | damo: xf860-openconsole vt_waitactive failed: interrupted system call | 11:06 |
| padi999 | ActionParsnip: Of course a lot of programs provide what I need but I need to have easy access to that. Not having to click through all menues on every picture | 11:06 |
| guest34 | padi what's your interest in metatagging and renaming about | 11:06 |
| skpl | damo22, alli wanna do is load my login screen so i can select gnome-shell as my session | 11:06 |
| padi999 | guest34: sorting | 11:07 |
| guest34 | that's rather vauge. the reason i ask is because i am very into tagging, semantics and organization. | 11:08 |
| skpl | damo22, when i tried restartingt the gdm it just proceeded to log me in autmatically | 11:09 |
| padi999 | guest34: Well, I have different people in every image and I would like to be able to say "show all pictures containing person X" | 11:09 |
| skpl | or try to anyw3ay, i cant get in | 11:09 |
| burg | will ubuntu11.10 come with gnome too? or just unity? | 11:09 |
| aple1 | How can I tell if my PC is compatible with Ubuntu 64? | 11:09 |
| Seryth | .__. | 11:09 |
| Seryth | aple1 can you run 64bit applications? | 11:09 |
| devcalais | How do I forcefully close an open application? Sort of a CTRL+ALT+DEL method.. ? | 11:10 |
| guest34 | yes padi. that's exactly what i want, for like all information oO i am actively working to become set up for this. how committed are you to the endeavor? | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | burg: unity will run in gnome. unity is not a DE | 11:10 |
| tonysan | My server constantly eats out swap, and then thrashing. I believe it is due to mysql server tuning, how do I detect thrashing in cron? | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: if you are using a Ubuntu guest OS, then you need to see if your CPU will run 64bit guest OSes. Not all 64bit CPUs can do this | 11:10 |
| burg | ActionParsnip, i`ve just installed 11.10 beta in virtual machine, and i noticed that i can`t chose to login with gnome 2 (like in 11.04) | 11:10 |
| padi999 | guest34: phew, I just started browsing on the topic and I cannot imagine noone ever wanted to do something like this. ^^ | 11:10 |
| Badgerpoo | Fixed my ipv6 issue, when you firewall all ipv6 traffic it doesn't work! :P | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | burg: unity-2D replaces Ubuntu Classic which is in Natty | 11:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | devcalais, kill "the-process-name". | 11:11 |
| aple1 | Seryth: Yeah, but when I tried to fire up an Ubuntu virtualbox, it says, "This kernel requires an x86-64 cpu, but only detected i686. Please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU." | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | burg: Oneiric uses Gnome3 | 11:11 |
| aple1 | ActionParsnip: That's probably the problem then. | 11:11 |
| Seryth | aple1 it's probably VB set up wrong | 11:11 |
| aple1 | Seryth: O rly? | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: then you should check your BIOS has the virtual 64bit guests feature enabled | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: check if your CPU also can perform the function | 11:12 |
| Seryth | aple1 have you got the 64 bit version of VB? | 11:12 |
| damo22 | skpl: did you get gnome-shell from a ppa? | 11:12 |
| devcalais | Whats the terminal command to find what your active processes are? | 11:12 |
| devcalais | :P | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: I suggest you take the easy road and use 32bit Ubuntu | 11:12 |
| Seryth | devcalais have you got htop installed? | 11:12 |
| padi999 | guest34: the suggestion by ActionParsnip to use Shotwell is actually quite good, I'd say. Just need to find the shortcut to "modify tags" and "renaming" and I'm good to go | 11:12 |
| burg | ActionParsnip, so it won`t come by default with the classic desktop look? only this new unity? | 11:12 |
| damo22 | devcalais: ps | 11:12 |
| aple1 | Seryth: Yeah I got the 64bit VBox | 11:12 |
| skpl | damo22, yes | 11:12 |
| guest34 | padi i feel this is one of the most pressing matters to the computer, internet, information, searching, that hasn't been adequately satsified. i am learning programming almost entirely for this very matter | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | burg: yes, Unity with effects (via compiz) or unity-2D | 11:12 |
| Seryth | aple1 Hm, make sure you set up the virtual machine right | 11:13 |
| aple1 | ActionParsnip: I'll take your advice on this one. I don't see what I'd use 64bit for anyway. | 11:13 |
| burg | ah, too bad. i don`t like unity at all | 11:13 |
| devcalais | htop? I'd guess not. | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | burg: if you want the classic look, I suggest you install XUbuntu and use that | 11:13 |
| aple1 | Seryth: I'm pretty sure I did. Is there anything I should be particularly mindful of to make it 64bit friendly? | 11:13 |
| guest34 | padi i request we stay in touch to have more eyes on the matter so to speak | 11:13 |
| damo22 | skpl:you could purge the ppa and revert to unity | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | burg: or some other DE, you can stil use Gnome based apps in KDE / XFCE / LXDE etc | 11:13 |
| Seryth | devcalais don't worry. Htop is a resources watcher/manager, sort of like win task manager (sudo apt-get install htop) | 11:13 |
| kristoffer_ | jrib ok i found grub and tried with all the 3 older kernels that was on the list but it doesent go any longer than the ubuntu startup loader then it says on my screen "no signal" and my screen turns of, its because i uinstalled NVIDIA drivers like it said in the guide right? what can i do now? | 11:13 |
| skpl | damo22, i cant get logged in | 11:14 |
| Seryth | aple1 considering I don't use VB, I've got no clue :P. Just use 32 bit ;) | 11:14 |
| devcalais | Seryth: cheers, I'll give it browse. Time to browse more manuals. | 11:14 |
| Seryth | :) | 11:14 |
| guest34 | or combine our observations on it | 11:14 |
| aple1 | haha dammit I was going to but you kept telling me it was a config problem :D | 11:14 |
| damo22 | skpl: do you have network? | 11:14 |
| jrib | kristoffer_: can you get to a tty? Or recovery mode in one of the older kernels? | 11:14 |
| aple1 | Wanted to sort that out | 11:14 |
| aple1 | Ok, 32-bit'n this | 11:14 |
| Seryth | ;) | 11:14 |
| Seryth | bildramer was here O.o | 11:14 |
| Seryth | damn | 11:15 |
| skpl | damo22, im not sure | 11:15 |
| damo22 | skpl: from console type ping -c 3 www.google.com | 11:15 |
| guest34 | i'm currently working on learning rdf. linking in linux may also have potential. i have only begun to learn linux. i also envision some software for automatically analyzing pages for easier input for tags | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: could use the minimal ISO and install from the web :) | 11:15 |
| guest34 | computer vision seems quite primitive, and i am not about to wait until that gets sorted out. is software to more easily tag what you are looking for? | 11:16 |
| kristoffer_ | jrib, whats tty? i tried recovery mode and it comes to a screen with alot of text | 11:16 |
| jrib | kristoffer_: install the nvidia drivers there | 11:16 |
| kristoffer_ | jrib how do i install them? | 11:16 |
| jrib | kristoffer_: how did you do it before? How did you uninstall them? | 11:17 |
| unicum | yet again.. any ideas as to why UBUNTU is not able to connect to an ad-hoc network? (secured or open, doesn't matter) - ewlist wlan0 scan does actually list the network, so does network manager.. but stupuntu won't connect | 11:17 |
| aple1 | ActionParsnip: The 32-bit .iso? S'what I'm doin'! | 11:17 |
| kristoffer_ | jrib i dissabled it in the ubuntu gui | 11:18 |
| awise12 | unicum: stupuntu ? | 11:18 |
| jrib | kristoffer_: use jockey-text | 11:18 |
| unicum | yes.. it's throwing to matching words together.. stupid and ubuntu | 11:18 |
| kristoffer_ | jrib and then? | 11:18 |
| awise12 | !wisreless | unicum | 11:18 |
| awise12 | !wireless | unicum | 11:18 |
| ubottu | unicum: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 11:18 |
| unicum | yah.. thx.. i've been through this a bazillion times | 11:19 |
| skpl | damo22, yeah i have networking, how do i purge the ppa? | 11:19 |
| awise12 | unicum: i' using a wifi at the moment and it works flawlesly ;) | 11:20 |
| unicum | i didn't say wireless doesn't work | 11:20 |
| unicum | i said connecting wireless to an ad-hoc doesn't work | 11:20 |
| damo22 | skpl: cat /etc/apt/sources.list and find the name of the ppa | 11:20 |
| Seryth | therefore wireless doesn't work | 11:20 |
| Seryth | lol | 11:20 |
| skpl | damo22, i dont see it, how do i scroll up? | 11:22 |
| fileserver | Hey everyone | 11:22 |
| damo22 | skpl: shift pageup | 11:22 |
| fileserver | could anyone tell me how to set up a decent nas on ubuntu | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | aple1: you can use the 12Mb minimal ISO which will install using packages over the web. Very cool | 11:22 |
| skpl | damo22, i donts see it anywhere | 11:23 |
| damo22 | skpl: should be a line in that file such as | 11:23 |
| damo22 | skpl: deb http://ppa.... | 11:23 |
| Pies | hello | 11:24 |
| guest34 | hiya | 11:24 |
| Pies | when I'm trying "route del 192.168.0.0" I get "SIOCDELRT: No such process". How i can delete that route? | 11:25 |
| * awise12 is reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 11:25 | |
| th0r | Pies: using sudo? | 11:25 |
| Pies | running as root | 11:25 |
| Pies | other routes deleted without problems | 11:25 |
| damo22 | Pies: are you sure that route still exists? | 11:26 |
| aeplus | pies, is that a valid route? | 11:26 |
| Pies | yeah, route returns it | 11:26 |
| _ruben | route's depreciated in favor of the 'ip' command .. and one might need to specify the subnetmask as well | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Pies: could restart the networking service, see if it helps | 11:26 |
| damo22 | Pies: i have experience with some VPN software that stuffs up the routing table under linux | 11:27 |
| Pies | http://paste.ubuntu.com/683443/ | 11:28 |
| skpl | damo22, its not there | 11:28 |
| Pies | ActionParsnip: /etc/init.d/networking restart ? was trying that too | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Pies: sudo service networking restart is the new way | 11:29 |
| damo22 | skpl: ls /etc/apt/ | 11:30 |
| Pies | I should add any params? | 11:30 |
| damo22 | skpl: see if theres a separate file with a ppa | 11:30 |
| szal | "service"? isn't that Fedora? | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Pies: should be fine | 11:30 |
| Pies | damo22: don't have any VPN, only wicd is managing my network, but that shouldn't make me unable to delete route | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | szal: possibly | 11:31 |
| Pies | ActionParsnip: restart: Unknown instance: | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Pies: i see | 11:31 |
| glebihan | szal, "service" is related to upstart, which has been used by ubuntu for a few releases now | 11:31 |
| szal | the 'upstart way' would be: sudo stop networking && sudo start networking | 11:31 |
| felipe__ | hi! | 11:31 |
| kristoffer_ | jrib ok i found grub and tried with all the 3 older kernels that was on the list but it doesent go any longer than the ubuntu startup loader then it says on my screen "no signal" and my screen turns of, its because i uinstalled NVIDIA drivers like it said in the guide right? what can i do now? | 11:32 |
| daavis | is it so hard for Ubuntu creators to make all file supports on audacious. In my case - *.wma. There was also problems with playing *.mkv files but luckily Totem came with support wich worked great. File support problems are very bad thing if the target is windows users as well | 11:32 |
| _ruben | Pies: sudo ip route del 192.168.0.0/24 | 11:32 |
| ubuntu_ | getting this with compiz --relace :http://pastebin.com/XeVCkVNp . How to solve it? | 11:33 |
| Pies | _ruben: thanks! | 11:33 |
| Pies | it seems it worked | 11:33 |
| glebihan | szal, "start servicename" is a synonym to "service servicename start" | 11:33 |
| ubuntu_ | getting this with compiz --relace :http://pastebin.com/XeVCkVNp . How to solve it? Using Lubuntu. same problem with debain 6.0(LXDE) | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: I'd ask in #compiz too | 11:34 |
| trinity | new to linux and i love it. so here is a question i hope somene can help me with. im trying to find and ip by screen name, or see what all ip' are used by that screen name. is it possible | 11:35 |
| damo22 | skpl: grep -r ppa /etc/apt | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: I've not seen LXDE run compiz, maybe it needs some extra packages or settings. I'm sure the #compiz guys will be able to help | 11:35 |
| jrib | trinity: define "screen name" | 11:35 |
| explora | .clear | 11:35 |
| ubuntu_ | <ActionParsnip> hope so. LXDE + compiz works AWESOME in Knoppix so inspired from it. | 11:35 |
| trinity | lets say frank123@yahoo. i guess i should have said email address | 11:36 |
| ubuntu_ | <ActionParsnip> can you understand something from the paste | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: coolio | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: not myself, I'm not too conversant with compiz. Only just started using it in Oneiric. I usually use LXDE + openbox | 11:37 |
| === Benji is now known as Guest47826 | ||
| skpl | damo22, ok i found it | 11:38 |
| skpl | how do i purge it? | 11:38 |

| ubuntu_ | <ActionParsnip> Oneiric.... too fast. I want to install lubuntu on pendrive but want to use compiz also. Lets see of somebody sees to it :) | 11:38 |
| damo22 | skpl: ppa.launchpad.net/....? | 11:38 |
| xxzz | wtf | 11:38 |
| skpl | damo22, yeah | 11:39 |
| damo22 | skpl: i need the actual words after that | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | xxzz: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 11:39 |
| xxzz | yes | 11:39 |
| skpl | damo22, it says gnome3-team/gnome3./ubuntu natty main | 11:40 |
| jadahl | If I want to create a wiki page (or whatever) containing information how to solve issues after installing Ubuntu on a certain laptop, where should I go and add this? | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | xxzz: ok does unetbootin run through ok and create the USB device ok? | 11:40 |
| xxzz | yes | 11:40 |
| xxzz | doesnt report any errors | 11:40 |
| damo22 | skpl: okay, sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | jadahl: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ just add an extra word on the end and you can make the new page | 11:41 |
| xxzz | what needs to be done here | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | xxzz: ok and so you keep the stick in and reboot the system, then tell the BIOS to boot USB. What happens? | 11:41 |
| tasslehoff | What does the start/end in "xrandr --verbose" mean for a given timing? | 11:41 |
| skpl | damo22: it says command not found | 11:41 |
| jadahl | ActionParsnip: is this the recommended place? see, I already did, but on help.ubuntu.com/community | 11:41 |
| xxzz | it boots the hard disk | 11:42 |
| damo22 | !find ppa-purge | 11:42 |
| ubottu | Found: ppa-purge | 11:42 |
| damno | a frnd of mine sent me a folder containing some mp3 files. not as an archive. he sent the whole folder. aftr recieving, its being shown as a tar archive and cant be open. anything can be done? | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | jadahl: Its a place, not sure about recomended, could add it to the !hcl site too | 11:42 |
| damno | through IM | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | jadahl: there's also here http://linux-laptop.net/ | 11:42 |
| damo22 | skpl: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | xxzz: did you change the boot order? | 11:43 |
| glebihan | ubuntu_, did you try launching compiz by using fusion-icon ? (this has solved some issues for me in the past) Also do you have a custom xorg.conf file ? | 11:43 |
| SMJ | when I log in, KDE fills my screen with all sorts of programs I may have used days ago.. how do I disable session saving, and why is it enabled by default? | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | damo22: tar xvf filename | 11:43 |
| skpl | damo22: ok | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | damo22: or install unp and use unp to extract everything | 11:43 |
| ubuntu_ | <glebihan> didn't tried icon. xorg.conf file---- where is it? | 11:43 |
| jadahl | maybe Ubuntu Friendly will be the future place for these kinds of things | 11:44 |
| damo22 | ActionParsnip: damno, not damo22 | 11:44 |
| xxzz | ActionParsnip, yes i did | 11:44 |
| jadahl | or whatever it was | 11:44 |
| glebihan | ubuntu_, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:44 |
| damno | ActionParsnip: aint working | 11:44 |
| damno | ActionParsnip: this isnt a tar archive after all | 11:44 |
| SMJ | okay, found it | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | damno: what is the output of: file filename | 11:44 |

| Eliasmaster | Hi, I asked this question already today, but I left for school and forgot what to do ;_;. So when I try to boot to Ubuntu (I have installed via Wubi) from the windows boot menu, normally GRUB boot menu comes to ask which kernel version (or something like that) I want to use, but today it boots to this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/683453/ | 11:46 |
| ubuntu_ | <glebihan> Ok and what to do with it? | 11:46 |
| groundup | I just restarted my computer and now the file system is read only | 11:46 |
| damno | ActionParsnip: yeah.. thats wat I hoped wont have to be done :D | 11:46 |
| groundup | It's 10.10 if that makes a difference | 11:46 |
| === jason is now known as Guest21712 | ||
| ActionParsnip | damno: you may be able to use foremost on it and extract files.. | 11:47 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: type "root (hd0,<TAB> | 11:47 |
| === Guest21712 is now known as jasef | ||
| glebihan | ubuntu_, you actually have that file ? could you pastebin it so I can have a look ? | 11:47 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: sorry no " | 11:47 |
| Eliasmaster | aww | 11:48 |
| Eliasmaster | so when I select 'Ubuntu' it boots to that | 11:48 |
| damno | ActionParsnip: okey.. lemme try. Thanks for the help. | 11:48 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: does that bring up anything? | 11:49 |
| groundup | When I run mount - http://pastebin.com/Ue0KxmbS | 11:49 |
| Sidewinder1 | groundup, This may sound condisending/stupid, but did you forget to remove the LiveCD? | 11:49 |
| Eliasmaster | Well actually, I will try it soon, I booted to windows to access IRC | 11:49 |
| Eliasmaster | so "root (hd0,<TAB>" | 11:49 |
| Eliasmaster | TAB is where I press TAB | 11:49 |
| groundup | Not a stupid question. I will check (it is in the server room) | 11:50 |
| ubuntu_ | <glebihan> NO. nothing like xorg . I have xsession :( | 11:50 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: <TAB> means press tab | 11:50 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 11:50 |
| tux_matt | hey | 11:50 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: but that wont boot anything yet | 11:50 |
| ubuntu_ | <glebihan> using emerald and getting less errors : http://pastebin.com/SQbsjgAm | 11:51 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: that will bring up a list of partitions you can boot from | 11:51 |
| groundup | Sidewinder1: no liveCD in there | 11:51 |
| glebihan | ubuntu_, does compiz launch this time ? | 11:51 |
| Sidewinder1 | groundup, It was just a thought.. | 11:52 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: do you have another pc with internet you can log into irc and do this at the same time? | 11:52 |
| Eliasmaster | no | 11:52 |
| Eliasmaster | But I have my phone | 11:52 |
| Eliasmaster | with internet | 11:52 |
| Eliasmaster | I will be the one named 'Viderizer' | 11:52 |

| ubuntu_ | <glebihan> No. getting same a teminal with fallback.... need to do openbox--replace in the same terminal... | 11:53 |
| Eliasmaster | damo22: would it be possible just copy all my files somehow and reinstall ubuntu? | 11:53 |
| ubuntu_ | <glebihan> What is the error the pastebin says...? Anything missing need to intall | 11:53 |
| === jasef_ is now known as jasef | ||
| glebihan | ubuntu_, it's an error with color depth (I think it should be 24 bits and not 32 bits) but I don't know where this should be configured now | 11:54 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: you can always boot a livecd and mount the hard drive to back up, you should already have a backup before you play with the pc | 11:54 |
| ubuntu_ | <glebihan> Ok | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Eliasmaster: why not just use your backup... | 11:55 |
| jasef | I just installed Gnome 3 on 11.04, kinda dissapointed that I can't find a place to change the window theme, and my touchpad doesnt turn back on after I turn it off even though the touchpad on symbol comes up on the screen | 11:55 |
| Eliasmaster | I don't have a backup :/ | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | jasef: gnome3 isn't stable in natty | 11:55 |
| jasef | I've noticed :P | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Eliasmaster: why not? Your drive motor could randomly fail.... | 11:56 |
| Eliasmaster | I have only a backup with windows... | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | jasef: every guide you find warns you that it's not too... | 11:56 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: do you have an external drive with your files on it? | 11:56 |
| Eliasmaster | no :/ | 11:56 |
| n20 | Anyone here know a thing or two about reversed zones with bind9? | 11:56 |
| Eliasmaster | well | 11:56 |
| jasef | ActionParsnip, I know, I was ready for it to not be stable :P, I'm always downloading betas and unstable stuff, I'll be installing 11.10 tomorrow to see how Gnome 3 works in that. | 11:56 |
| Eliasmaster | I did a Norton backup | 11:56 |
| Eliasmaster | and put the backup files to a CD | 11:57 |
| ActionParsnip | jasef: works fine here ;) | 11:57 |
| Eliasmaster | but It is just for windows | 11:57 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: do you have any important files in linux? | 11:57 |
| Eliasmaster | No | 11:57 |
| Eliasmaster | I'd just hate to loose all my setups for programs etc. | 11:57 |
| jasef | ActionParsnip, Awesome... I can't wait to get home so I can finish my jigdo download and install it | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | jasef: could just use torrents.. | 11:58 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: do you have a ubuntu livecd? | 11:58 |
| Eliasmaster | damo22: no | 11:58 |
| * Sidewinder1 Is paranoid and has back-ups of back-ups. | 11:58 | |
| mohsen | What is the official repository Ubuntu? | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Eliasmaster: thats why you occasionally backup said configs, then you won't lose them is catastrophe strikes | 11:59 |
| sveinse | What happens if an installed file belonging to a package is deleted? I mean, does the missing file make apt/dpkg complain upon upgrade or uninstalls? | 11:59 |
| Eliasmaster | ActionParsnip: I will know that now on the future | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sveinse: it will be reinstated next time the package is updated | 11:59 |
| jasef | ActionParsnip, I could, yeah. But I haven't got any ports forwarded to my netbook, so jigdo works just fine. | 12:00 |
| sivik | how does one disable ipv6 for iptables? | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | jasef: torrents work here and the only port forwarded is the web ui port I use. | 12:00 |
| plouffe | ActionParsnip, is there a Ubuntu tool to backup all configs? | 12:00 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: i have 2 external usb hard drives as separate backups | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: add the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 | 12:00 |
| xro | Hi, i configured my nagios server/client... But i would like to add some check... is there somewhere a list of nagios services and also the according command for the nrpe_local.cfg file? i'm looking for a while | 12:01 |
| mohsen | What is the official repository of Ubuntu for full download? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | plouffe: i use cp in a cron job, the configs are in the hidden folders in $HOME | 12:01 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, is that for ipv6 or just the iptables for ipv6? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: all ipv6 | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !download | mohsen | 12:01 |
| ubottu | mohsen: 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! | 12:01 |
| plouffe | ActionParsnip, some aren't in home though, e.g. Apache | 12:01 |
| sivik | So there is to just disable the firewall rules for ipv6 without totally disabling ipv6? | 12:01 |
| jasef | ActionParsnip, :P I have got none forwarded, so I'll just live with jigdo for now, I'm getting about 300kB/s anyway when it's running | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | mohsen: the source is moot, as long as the file matches the official hashes, then the source is irrelevant | 12:01 |
| Sidewinder1 | !repository > mohsen | 12:01 |
| ubottu | mohsen, please see my private message | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | plouffe: then you'd need to add those to your scope | 12:02 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, I just want to disable the iptables portion of ipv6 and not ipv6 totally | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: gotcha | 12:02 |
| xxzz | hmm i tried different stick but it still doesnt work | 12:03 |
| Eliasmaster | damo22: I will start reinstalling Ubuntu now, as I don't have any important files there, it seems the easiest way | 12:03 |
| xxzz | tried YUMI as well | 12:04 |
| xxzz | whats wrong with this thing | 12:04 |
| damo22 | Eliasmaster: thats the easy way, but there might be a way to recover | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | xxzz: tried usb-creator | 12:05 |
| plouffe | ActionParsnip, synaptic has an option to keep or delete configs. Is it possible to use that to also save/backup configs? | 12:05 |
| xxzz | nope | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | xxzz: and the 1 2 3 application, if you are using windows | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | plouffe: synaptic only install packages and updates, so I doubt it | 12:05 |
| xxzz | ok | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !backup | plouffe | 12:05 |
| ubottu | plouffe: There are many ways to back your system up.

| fr0sted | ActionParsnip: ye i know, i mean a gui app | 12:06 |
| sivik | any way to disable ip6tables? | 12:06 |
| Pici | fr0sted: nautilus can view scp/sftp 'shares' | 12:07 |
| fr0sted | Pici: ye i also thought of this with filezilla, but cant seem to connect to the iphone | 12:07 |
| plouffe | ActionParsnip, I didn't mean from synaptic, but making a config backup tool based on the info that synaptic has should be possible | 12:07 |
| plouffe | ActionParsnip, thanks for the link | 12:07 |
| fr0sted | oh nvm, got it, but thanks | 12:08 |
| xxzz | ActionParsnip, whats 1 2 3 application | 12:08 |

| IdleOne | ethanol: can you give an example of what you mean? | 12:16 |
| ethanol | well it's weird, cause I am checking for the existence of files in php (which uses system calls) and I get back true, even when it does not match casewise | 12:16 |

Now I've got hundred of "k" programs, and I don't know who to delete all them at once. Someone can help me? How to delete everything I instaled from kubuntu? | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | javier_: remove the qt libs and everything kde will fail deps and be marked for uninstallation | 12:19 |
| jrib | !puregnome | javier_ | 12:19 |
| ubottu | javier_: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 12:19 |
| javier_ | so... sudo apt-get remove pt-libs? | 12:19 |
| coz_ | javier_, or go here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 12:19 |
| javier_ | qt, sorry | 12:20 |
| coz_ | javier_, however the command to remove all of kde is quite long so get it all if you use that link | 12:20 |
| javier_ | coz_ I found in google that link, but it didn't work | 12:20 |
| coz_ | javier_, did you copy the etire command to remove? | 12:21 |
| javier_ | either, when usind command "sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop" is not a large list of packages that are removed, but a few only | 12:21 |
| javier_ | yes, the complete command | 12:21 |
| damo22 | how do i disable screensaver permanently? it doesnt seem to honour the settings in the gui settings page | 12:22 |
| coz_ | javier_, let me get the entire command and let you see it hold on | 12:22 |
| IdleOne | javier_: use the command which lists all the packages or you can do what ActionParsnip suggested. | 12:23 |
| coz_ | javier_, see if this was the command you used http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/kde%20remove.txt | 12:23 |

| [-supNow- | hello usr13 and actionparsnip: Thanks for your help yesterday I was able to figure it out. So that you guys are aware in case anyone else runs into this issue... In order for windows to format and install on a disk that was previously formatted for ubuntu it has to be the only drive plugged into the system. Strange as it sounds and as little sense it makes it's the only thing that worked. | 12:33 |
| darthubious | usr13, thank you very much. I was looking at some UVC driver compatible webcams. this will help :) | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | [-supNow-: very strange. | 12:33 |
| [-supNow- | yes it was I never had that issue in the past... maybe it's natty? | 12:34 |
| [-supNow- | natty don't wanna leave the drive... lol | 12:34 |
| [-supNow- | as soon as I unplugged my other drives it loaded with no issues with only the windoze disk | 12:34 |
| [-supNow- | and my ubuntu is happily installed on my other drive! | 12:34 |
| usr13 | [-supNow-: Sorry, I guess we assumed that you knew that MS Windows only boots (and installs to) the primary drive. Sorry we overlooked that issue. .. Will try to remember that next time. | 12:34 |

| usr13 | An inode is a data structure on a traditional Unix-style file system such as UFS. An inode stores all the information about a regular file, directory, or other file system object, except its data and name. When you format a partition, the process assigns just so many inodes. If you end up with lots and lots of very small files, it's possible to run out of inodes and it will act as if the drive is full, but it is really just out of inodes. | 12:46 |

| slipttees | cant** | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | slipttees: does it show up in: sudo fdisk -l | 12:50 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Yes http://pastebin.com/3dDb6kMw | 12:50 |
| tarelerulz | From what I understand they are formatted to fat 32 . Your sounds old enough that it would be seen like external hard drive anyways . | 12:50 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: It is 2G | 12:51 |

| tarelerulz | If you get any ipod don't get ipod touch 2g . I have one an had nothing but trouble. Linux (ubuntu) don't see it at all. I have to ssh into ipod and ssh mount it from there and that seem to be my only option | 12:52 |

| slipttees | ActionParsnip, no idea? | 12:55 |
| apocalyptiq | usr13, but "who" gives me list of terminals, i want to know which one is current :) | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | slipttees: not sure, I don't use apple rubbish | 12:56 |
| slipttees | :( | 12:56 |
| apocalyptiq | usr13, but thanks, who will be useful here too ;) | 12:57 |
| groundup | So, I ran mount -o remount, /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root / and that enabled me to have a rw filesystem. When I restart, it goes back to read-only. So, it can work for now but it won't work for long. | 12:58 |
| usr13 | apocalyptiq: Well, one way is to estimate the time it may have been opened, (in relation to the others). (Looking at output of who) | 12:58 |
| slipttees | ActionParsnip, apple sucks | 12:59 |
| slipttees | :S | 12:59 |
| slipttees | :( | 12:59 |
| TAndriamirado | hello. Anyone know how to config a Network-Manager managed usb modem, by sending it some AT commands? | 13:00 |
| usr13 | apocalyptiq: And also, look at what is after the time. If is one that is logged into another terminal, it will say so, (and specify the other's IP or hostname). | 13:00 |
| GunClive | hi. i am looking for software that shows my gpu workload. thanks. | 13:01 |
| usr13 | groundup: Sounds like a hard drive is failing. | 13:01 |

| P05TMAN | Hello! I just installed Ubuntu 10.10, but it is not on the boot list; I think windows wiped grub. How can I fix it? | 13:06 |
| usr13 | GunClive: htop is really nice I think. | 13:06 |
| javier_ | Still with this problem: I installed Digikam but looked uggly and unfortunatelly instaled kubuntu-desktop to see if it looked nice. Now I've got hundred of "k" programs, and I don't know who to delete all them at once. Someone can help me? How to delete everything I instaled from kubuntu? | 13:06 |

| TAndriamirado | hello. Anyone know how to config a Network-Manager managed usb modem, by sending it some AT commands? | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | javier_: sudo apt-get --purge remove http://paste.ubuntu.com/683518/ | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | oops | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | javier_: sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs-bin | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | javier_: then run: sudo apt-get --purge atoremove; sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop | 13:10 |
| photon | autoremove* | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed | 13:10 |
| * ActionParsnip needs food | 13:10 | |
| photon | ActionParsnip: any idea? | 13:10 |
| photon | I mean, it's really annoying. all my fonts change, the icons, the colors. | 13:11 |
| javier_ | ActionParsnip: I will try that, but the first command I didn't understand it. Did you mean to write "sudo apt-get --purge remove http://paste.ubuntu.com/683518/"? | 13:11 |
| photon | javier_: no he did not. | 13:11 |
| Laurenceb | hi, is there a STEP viewer on ubuntu? | 13:12 |
| javier_ | ok, that doesnt make sense :) So, from the other line. Thanks, it's doing it | 13:12 |
| usr13 | javier_: leave off the URL Just: sudo apt-get --purge remove | 13:13 |
| usr13 | javier_: Actually just: sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs-bin ; sudo apt-get --purge atoremove; sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop #Is prolly all you need. | 13:14 |
| === dougsko_ is now known as dougsko | ||
| usr13 | javier_: But I think he wanted you to do sudo apt-get --purge remove before and after sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs-bin #But not sure it is neecessary to do it before. | 13:15 |
| photon | usr13: you copied the autoremove misspelling. | 13:15 |
| photon | javier_: use autoremove instead of atoremove | 13:15 |
| javier_ | usr13: yes, I also saw that but only after doing sudo apt-get ... kdelibs-bin. But i't doing it, so I think it's fine like this | 13:16 |
| javier_ | photon: thanks, i noticed also :) | 13:16 |
| usr13 | photon: Thanks for the correction | 13:16 |
| photon | np | 13:16 |
| usr13 | Looking back at it. He may have been wanting you to --purge all that is in http://paste.ubuntu.com/683518/ | 13:17 |
| Standard | hi | 13:18 |
| javier_ | usr13: ammm, maybe... | 13:18 |
| javier_ | usr13: that would mean to write it manually all the list? | 13:19 |
| === Aurus_ is now known as Aurus | ||
| javier_ | usr13: I've done once again "dpkg -l | grep lib | grep kde" and now it's only 4 files. Do you advise me to remove them= | 13:21 |
| javier_ | ? | 13:21 |
| usr13 | which is: kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kdegraphics-libs-data kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins kdepimlibs-kio-plugins libakonadi-kde4 libdebconf-kde0 libkde3support4 libkdecorations4 libkdecore5 libkdegames5a libkdepim4 libkdesu5 libkdeui5 libkdewebkit5 libkworkspace4 libreoffice-kde | 13:21 |
| usr13 | In other words. I think the first command he wanted you to do was: | 13:22 |
| usr13 | sudo apt-get --purge remove kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kdegraphics-libs-data kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins kdepimlibs-kio-plugins libakonadi-kde4 libdebconf-kde0 libkde3support4 libkdecorations4 libkdecore5 libkdegames5a libkdepim4 libkdesu5 libkdeui5 libkdewebkit5 libkworkspace4 libreoffice-kde | 13:22 |
| javier_ | usr13: no, some different: kdelibs5-data libkdecore5 libkdeui5 libkdewebkit5 | 13:22 |
| usr13 | javier_: Ok, well, I dono | 13:23 |
| javier_ | usr13: yes, i think you were right. Thanks a lot for working the command for me | 13:23 |
| usr13 | javier_: Anyway, you got it. | 13:23 |
| usr13 | in the end do: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop | 13:24 |
| usr13 | Once you've removed all the KDE stuff. Reason being.... kde and gnome don't always play well together | 13:24 |
| Aurus | Considering KDE and Gnome use entirely separate runtimes I can't imagine how they would interfere with each other at all... | 13:26 |
| aleks_ | silversurfer | 13:28 |
| aleks_ | hey ppl | 13:29 |
| cillo564 | is there application that records the sound coming from soundcard? | 13:30 |
| usr13 | Aurus: Well, I don't know what it is, but I've seen it. I've had a pure KDE system and instlled gnome and for a while everything was fine. After a bit things seemed to have gotten mucked up and couldn't find any logical reason because the only change was adding gnome and lots of gnome apps. | 13:32 |
| javier_ | It's done. I removed everything I installed from kubuntu, except for one thing. When starting and stopping the laptop, I get kubuntu11.04 blue screen, with those 5 lights that indicate that it's charging. Algo in closing, kubuntu blue screen. Any idea how to get back purple ubuntu one? | 13:32 |
| usr13 | Aurus: Maybe I drew an erroneous assumption | 13:33 |
| Kartagis | where is PATH set? | 13:33 |
| TAndriamirado | cillo564: if you use pulse-audio you can easily do that | 13:33 |
| usr13 | Kartagis: How is it set? Or how do you add to it? | 13:34 |
| klawd | hi! | 13:34 |
| klawd | can i make ubuntu install the _latest_ version of something? | 13:34 |
| Kartagis | usr13: how do I add to it? | 13:34 |
| cillo564 | TAndriamirado, how it can be done? | 13:34 |
| Kartagis | usr13: /etc/environment? | 13:34 |
| usr13 | $PATH with no arguments will tell you what you have now. | 13:35 |
| TAndriamirado | cillo564: ..or use jackd2 sound daemon: it let you simply 'connect' apps (and hardwares) so the output of a software (or soundcard) could be routed to the entry port of any sound recorder app | 13:36 |
| chriswr | hey guys i need to split a iso file into multiple files to put on 700mb cds but i have no clue on how to do that | 13:36 |
| usr13 | PATH=$PATH:/home/user/bin will add /home/user/bin to your path. | 13:36 |
| usr13 | Kartagis: I think you need to run export PATH afterwards | 13:37 |
| jasonmsp | hey all. I created a symbolic link and unfrotunately wasn't thinking and prefecade it with a / I want to delete the link now. if I rm /linkname will that delete the files that it links to or will it delete just the link? | 13:37 |
| usr13 | .. for it to take effect. | 13:37 |
| TAndriamirado | chriswr: use 'isomaster' | 13:37 |
| SIFTU | jasonmsp: just the link | 13:38 |
| === tera_ is now known as Andrew131 | ||
| jasonmsp | SIFTU: grazie! | 13:38 |
| chriswr | TAndriamirado, alright. i was wondering how would i run the iso if its split up on multiple cds? | 13:39 |
| ben_stein | if i use a mobile broadband isp's usb modem (CDMA) and my mobile phone providers data plan (3G) together, i will have to ip's? i want to do it to increase speed when travelling. how does a program like email, skype, irc, web browsing etc. choose between the two connections? | 13:40 |

| Roger_the_bum | Has ubuntu, since 10.10, enabled power management settings for wireless cards? For mine, I think it's saving power to aggressively, as when I connect to a wireless network on battery, I cannot reliably connect from 30 or so feet away in a not-too-dense location. On battery, there are no problems. | 13:43 |
| EskimoBob | hi, what pkg installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and /boot/vmcoreinfo | 13:43 |

| xfce_murderer | hello, I installed ubuntu server but added xfce because owner of the server wants to have graphic interface in case he needed to fix something. How can I change booting so text mode would be default and xfce was only turned on with "Xorg" commandd? | 13:45 |
| TAndriamirado | chriswr: this typically depends of the software that is on the CDs (not sure I understood Ur 2nd question..) | 13:45 |

| xfce_murderer | hello, I installed ubuntu server but added xfce because owner of the server wants to have graphic interface in case he needed to fix something. How can I change booting so text mode would be default and xfce was only turned on with "Xorg" commandd? | 13:46 |
| xfce_murderer | sorry, hand slipped | 13:47 |
| Stanley00 | lucenut: just looking at the install guide on wiki.ubuntu.com :D | 13:47 |
| xfce_murderer | lucenut: in my case it configured grub automatically | 13:47 |
| SIFTU | xfce_murderer: just dont start a display manager | 13:47 |
| chriswr | TAndriamirado, its a copy of a game iso , and to rephrase that question... once i get the split iso files on the cds would i just copy and paste the files on the cds onto my other computer? if so how would i mount the iso since theres so many of them? | 13:48 |
| xfce_murderer | SIFTU: it turns on on boot, how do I disable it? | 13:48 |
| SIFTU | xfce_murderer: and you are probably thinking of using "startx" | 13:48 |
| xfce_murderer | SIFTU: thanks, I'll remember | 13:48 |
| SIFTU | xfce_murderer: update-rc.d | 13:48 |
| tdn | I have some m4a audio files that are apple lossless codec, I think. How do I play those? Audacious cannot handle play them. I guess I need to install some lib or codec? | 13:49 |
| TAndriamirado | chriswr: so it fully depends of the game. Most of them are protected. | 13:50 |
| mongy | chriswr, split -d -b 700M file.iso splitfile | 13:50 |
| xfce_murderer | SIFTU: update-rc.d "???" | 13:50 |
| Andy80 | jussi01: hi :) | 13:51 |
| chriswr | TAndriamirado, alright ill just try and see | 13:51 |
| lucenut | I searched bootable usb on the wiki and returned nothing. Just "usb" returns a bunch of stuff that doesn't seem to be about a bootable drive. | 13:51 |
| mongy | chriswr, cat splitfile* > file.iso | 13:51 |
| Stanley00 | xfce_murderer: I think you should digging more in man upstart and init, it's the first proc start when system startup... | 13:51 |
| TAndriamirado | chriswr: sorry ;-)) (..and you could try mongy's tip ;-) | 13:52 |
| xfce_murderer | tdn: do you have restricted areas cidecs installed? | 13:52 |
| mongy | chriswr, md5sum the before and after just to verify. works for me fine tho | 13:52 |
| chriswr | mongy, alright , how would i merge the files back together once i got them on my other computer? | 13:53 |
| mongy | chriswr, see cat | 13:53 |
| chriswr | mongy, my other computer is windows :/ | 13:53 |
| xfce_murderer | tdn: do you have restricted areas cidecs installed? | 13:53 |
| xfce_murderer | lucenut: it doesn't matter if it's from CD or USB | 13:54 |
| mongy | chriswr, split -b 700M file.iso splitfile <then> cat splitfile* > file.iso | 13:54 |
| javier_ | hi: how to install digikam in gnome? do I need all kde stall, like dolphin? can't I make it use nautilus? | 13:54 |
| chriswr | mongy, so the "cat splitfile* > file.iso" works on windows? | 13:56 |
| MonkeyDust | chriswr: mount the Windoze partition on Ubuntu and then merge the files | 13:56 |
| mongy | chriswr, oh, I assumed linux | 13:56 |
| codemagician | im trying to run a backup python script but it bails out because there is a file called .gvfs in my home directory which appears to have user = ? group = ? | 13:56 |
| Lasers | codemagician: Exclude .gvffs | 13:57 |
| Lasers | .gvfs | 13:57 |
| Lasers | and trash while you're at it. | 13:57 |
| Lasers | !trash | 13:57 |
| ubottu | Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | codemagician: its a special folder, take it out of the scope | 13:57 |
| codemagician | ActionParsnip, who created it? | 13:57 |
| Lasers | Nautilus's automagically mount stuffs. | 13:58 |
| MonkeyDust | chriswr: or merge the files, then mount the Windoze partition and copy the merged files to that partition | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | codemagician: its where gvfs mounts shares and such | 13:58 |
| codemagician | ActionParsnip, it caused my backups to fail | 13:58 |
| codemagician | ActionParsnip, because it has no user or group associated with it | 13:58 |
| lighta | why does ubuntu depot still have galileo eclipse instead a newer one like indigo or even helios ? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | codemagician: remove the folder from the scope and you'll be fine | 13:59 |
| codemagician | ActionParsnip, just rm .gvfs | 13:59 |
| chriswr | MonkeyDust, the problem im having is that when i try to mount the iso file on ubuntu it says that theres no files in it and also its not in iso 9660 , so i used "iat" and it says "image is broken this image is not CD image" | 13:59 |
| mongy | chriswr, could compress it in nautilus 'compress' and use 7z or something to make volumes, then use 7zip in windows to unpack | 13:59 |
| MonkeyDust | lighta: 'why' is a philosophical question, this is a technical channel | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | codemagician: no or you will make issues | 13:59 |
| lucenut | I still can't find where to start on making a bootable usb stick with 11.04 | 13:59 |
| lucenut | Google brings up things for 8 | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | lucenut: it's the same method | 13:59 |
| codemagician | ActionParsnip, about 10 mins ago ls -l showed "d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs" | 14:00 |
| lighta | I meant technically is there a logical reason like stability or you like to make user search more ?... | 14:00 |
| codemagician | ActionParsnip, now it is owned by me in devteam group | 14:00 |
| sls | join/#als | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | codemagician: its just a container that gvfs uses to mount stuff, theres no need to back it up and its not technically a folder, just make your script ignore the folder | 14:00 |
| codemagician | ActionParsnip, actually ignore that. its still ? ? | 14:00 |
| usr13 | lucenut: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 14:01 |
| sls | the idiot is here | 14:01 |
| Pici | lighta: have you checked launchpad for bug reports against that package? Perhaps there is a legitimate reason listed there. I suspect it is because packaging it is a real pain. | 14:01 |
| tonysan | Could somebody provide a simple script: do some job when swap usage is above some threshold? | 14:01 |
| Lasers | codemagician: Yes. You said you have a backup script. Fix it to exclude few folders. | 14:01 |
| chriswr | mongy, that sounds like a good idea , if i compress it with natilius is there somthing i can use on this linux computer to split the compressed file into multiple volumes? or is 7zip for linux also? | 14:01 |
| tdn | xfce_murderer, yes I do. | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | tonysan: you will be using 'free -m' and grepping and awking til you get the value you want, then performing some logic on the value | 14:02 |
| tdn | xfce_murderer, I have those isntalled. | 14:02 |
| Pici | tonysan: Thats not really within the scope of this channel. Someone in #bash might be able to help you write that, or you'd more likely be looking for a framework that allows you to create jobs based on system properties. | 14:02 |
| tdn | xfce_murderer, which one should make it work? | 14:02 |
| === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf | ||
| tonysan | ActionParsnip: actually it is the grepping and awking that hinders me ... | 14:02 |
| tdn | xfce_murderer, here is dpkg -l |grep codec: http://paste.adora.dk/P2152.html | 14:02 |
| mongy | chriswr, 7zip is available for most if not all | 14:03 |

| engrxyz | i hae a root partition and an lvm partition. i installed mysql and transfer the datadir from /var/lib/mysql to the lvm partition. when i do a mysql restore, i found out that the / root partition as well as the lvm partition is growing together. any tips? | 14:05 |
| Kartagis | how do I fix Class PDO not found? | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | tonysan: $3 prints the 3rd value, you can get free with: $4 and total is $2 | 14:05 |
| mongy | chriswr, for a command it would be 7z a -v700m -mx=0 file.7z file.iso (if you want no compression, quicker) | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | tonysan: you can then use bash to perform logic on those values (calculate percentage etc) | 14:06 |
| tsaknorris | hmm... how i can add launchers to unity? | 14:06 |

| mongy | chriswr, the compression app that is, file-roller | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | tsaknorris: I use chromium, it sits on the bar just fine | 14:08 |
| Lasers | chriswr: Use Gnome File-Roller. It's one GUI that will take care of all archives. | 14:08 |
| tsaknorris | RamtinA, i have it already...i just upgraded to this 11.10 | 14:08 |

| somsip | Kartagis: looks like its a pecl extension on ubuntu, unless it's been changed to a php5-* package: http://wiki.kryn.org/How_to_install_php_pdo_debian/ubuntu | 14:09 |

| tsaknorris | ok i will go to read my self...plaah...i only wanted to know some basic stuff about unity...so forget...i will read it by my self :) | 14:10 |
| usr13 | RamtinA: Where is Fani.lnk ? | 14:10 |
| mongy | chriswr, the file manager. if you have 7zip installed, select your file.iso and right click compress, 7z will be an optoin | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | do ISO files compress well? | 14:10 |
| chriswr | mongy, oh alright cool | 14:10 |
| mongy | ActionParsnip, have done , certain ones | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | I doubt it will due to squashfs being used to store the data on the ubuntu ISO | 14:10 |
| somsip | Kartagis: wait - just saw this Update: it looks like this is a result of PDO moving into the PHP code; don't try to install PDO using PECL, just skip to the database-specific install (e.g. pdo_mysql). | 14:11 |
| tsaknorris | http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity | 14:11 |
| tsaknorris | \o/ | 14:11 |
| Stanley00 | tsaknorris: well, read the manual is a good idea, I remember that there is a prog call help on your ubuntu ;) | 14:11 |
| RamtinA | in my flash USB | 14:11 |
| mongy | chriswr, if you use terminal you can do this a lot quicker, with no compression. | 14:11 |
| RamtinA | usr13:in my flash USB | 14:11 |
| Kartagis | somsip: I got it, some pear package upgraded php5-mysql | 14:11 |
| somsip | Kartagis: cool | 14:11 |
| chriswr | mongy, alright can you walk me through it cause terminal confuses me to no end | 14:12 |
| Kartagis | somsip: now I need to upgrade PHP | 14:12 |
| tsaknorris | this is also cool :) | 14:12 |
| tsaknorris | http://maketecheasier.com/8-really-useful-ubuntu-unity-quicklists/2011/05/07 | 14:12 |
| mongy | chriswr, open it up then., | 14:12 |
| somsip | Kartagis: I'd read around it first if I were you. Thatlast "Update:" was from a site suggesting to apt-get purge php-*, and resintall php-5 before installing PDO | 14:13 |
| mongy | chriswr, where is your iso file? at the root of home or in some other folder | 14:13 |
| usr13 | RamtinA: find /media/ -name Fani.lnk -type f | 14:13 |

| Stanley00 | say /join #schizo <= mebe, like this | 14:15 |
| Stanley00 | /join #schizo <= mebe, like this | 14:15 |
| chriswr | mongy, alright , do i just make up a name for the "file.7z" | 14:16 |

| TehAndrewRyan | when i'm playing minecraft and i left/right click, it loses the focus of the window, but i regain it after some few milliseconds | 14:30 |
| TehAndrewRyan | this however causes a pretty annoying lag | 14:31 |
| TehAndrewRyan | is there a fix for it? | 14:31 |

| xxzz | ActionParsnip, I managed parted magic usb to boot netbook, now I see 2 partitions but cant fingure out partition type. During power on without usb i see ASUS assistance and stuff so I guess they are using 1 partition or 2 partions. My plan is to install windows, freebsd and Ubuntu on 250 gig but I will need 2 primary partitions for windows & FreeBSD and 1 logical for Ubuntu. How do I find... | 14:32 |

| noobie3 | ActionParsnip : I already tried that version...i had problems with instalation... | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | TehAndrewRyan: are you using desktop effects (compiz)? | 14:41 |

| lucenut | I am installing 11.04 on my HP mini alongside windows 7. | 14:52 |
| usr13 | And show us... | 14:52 |
| lucenut | I am at the screen called "Allocate drive space" and confused. | 14:52 |
| lucenut | It shows 4 things under "devices" like /dev/sda... | 14:52 |
| edbian | lucenut: each one is a partition | 14:53 |
| edbian | lucenut: /dev/sda is one of your hdds | 14:53 |
| RamtinA | usr13: that's just in the trash | 14:53 |
| lucenut | Device for boot loader installation has /dev/sda ATA Toshiba MK2556GS (250.1 GB) selected. | 14:53 |
| usr13 | lucenut: and one or more of those you will want to resize, (make smaller), in order to get enough free space to install Ubuntu. | 14:53 |
| lucenut | I didn't know what to do so I just hit "Install Now" but it says "No root file system is defined" | 14:54 |
| usr13 | RamtinA: Did you find it yet? | 14:54 |
| usr13 | RamtinA: Did you find the path to the file? | 14:54 |
| lucenut | OK, so if I choose "Edit" on the 250G partition... | 14:54 |
| lucenut | It says "Use as"? | 14:55 |
| mongy | ActionParsnip, got a good theme for lubuntu? I cant seem to find a decent one...I prefer dark styles | 14:55 |
| xxzz | ActionParsnip, gparted doesnt detect filesystem | 14:55 |
| lucenut | Should I choose Fat32 file system? | 14:55 |
| lucenut | You can resize this later also right? | 14:55 |
| usr13 | lucenut: You have to make room for the new Linux install. If you want to delete all that is there, tell it to use entire disk. If you want to do Dual Boot, resize the MS Windows partition so a smaller size, maybe half, (depending on how much data you have in it). | 14:56 |
| edbian | lucenut: you should make everything for ubuntu ext4 ( or swap ) | 14:56 |
| edbian | lucenut: use as is something like / or swap or /home | 14:56 |
| edbian | lucenut: You will probably need to resize yes, unless you have unallocated space on the drive already | 14:56 |
| lucenut | How do you resize? | 14:57 |
| lucenut | I selected swap and clicked OK. | 14:57 |
| usr13 | lucenut: Look at how much free space you have and decide how to allocte for Linux. Or tell us how much free space you come up with and we will help you decide. Or, you can let the installer do the automatic allocation. | 14:57 |
| lucenut | There is ~ 198G free of 250 according to windows. | 14:58 |
| noobie3 | when trying to intsall lubuntu 11.4 i get this error http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/12314124.jpg/ | 14:58 |
| noobie3 | any help? :( | 14:58 |
| lucenut | I don't understand this UI though. | 14:58 |
| usr13 | lucenut: That is plenty, use the 198G of free space. | 14:58 |
| edbian | lucenut: Free space in windows means NTFS partition space that is not filled with files / folder. Free in this installer means this part of the drive is not a partition at all. | 14:58 |
| lucenut | OK, I wasn't asked anything about size/space. | 14:58 |
| edbian | lucenut: The fact that windows reports 198Gb free means that you can shrink the windows ntfs partition. | 14:58 |
| usr13 | lucenut: And let ubuntu automatically decide and re-partition for itself. | 14:58 |
| lucenut | I chose "swap" and hit OK. | 14:59 |
| edbian | usr13: He can learn if he wants to | 14:59 |
| edbian | lucenut: also you probably have more than 1 'windows' partition windows 7 usually has like 4 | 14:59 |
| lucenut | Now in here it shows the 250G partition as Type=swap. | 14:59 |
| usr13 | lucenut: Look at the available options and think about it. | 14:59 |
| edbian | lucenut: 1 repair partition, 1 boot partition, and one actual windows data partition is very common | 14:59 |
| edbian | lucenut: How much ram do you have? | 15:00 |
| usr13 | lucenut: You only need about 3 or 4G for swap | 15:00 |
| chmielsen | Hey, I have a problem. When I'm building program from a source it is later asking me for a lot of files in directories like /etc /var etc. How can I install it, so it would be like from synaptics? | 15:00 |
| RamtinA | usr13: my computer restarted | 15:00 |
| lucenut | Right, there is a ntfs 35MB and a fat16 33MB | 15:00 |
| edbian | lucenut: (that's almost definitely waaaay to much swap | 15:00 |
| slipttees | como extract bios dump on ubuntu? | 15:00 |
| lucenut | I didn't mention them because I didn't think they were important. | 15:00 |
| edbian | lucenut: fat16 33Mb? <- I have no idea what this is. It's pretty uselessly small | 15:01 |
| usr13 | lucenut: You are correct, those are not important, you can just leave them as is. | 15:01 |
| lucenut | OK, I highlighted the 250G and clicked "Revert" and now instead of swap it says it's ntfs. | 15:01 |
| edbian | lucenut: Be careful here. It is rather easy to erase your entire windows OS at this stage of the installer. | 15:01 |
| lucenut | That is why I am asking questions. | 15:01 |
| usr13 | lucenut: How much RAM does this PC have? | 15:01 |
| noobie3 | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/12314124.jpg/ <-- anyone familiar with this kind of error? | 15:02 |
| edbian | lucenut: just a warning :) | 15:02 |
| lucenut | 1G, and that is the max for it. | 15:02 |
| edbian | noobie3: It's a kernel panic | 15:02 |
| edbian | lucenut: Then your swap should be 1Gb, what's the max for what? | 15:02 |
| chmielsen | Hey, I have a problem. When I'm building program from a source it is later asking me for a lot of files in directories like /etc /var etc. How can I install it, so it would be like from synaptics? | 15:02 |
| noobie3 | i could read that by myself :) anything else | 15:02 |
| usr13 | lucenut: Then 1 or 2G of swap is fine. | 15:02 |
| lucenut | So here I am again at the Allocate drive space screen. What do I do? | 15:02 |
| RamtinA | my ram is 512MB , and 58%of that is in use .and just my pidgin is run :D . is it fine? | 15:02 |
| lucenut | Where do I "get" that swap space? | 15:03 |
| edbian | noobie3: They're usually very hard to figure out. Typically they're caused by bad hardware (unless you're using the nightly build kernel) | 15:03 |
| sproaty | hi since using ubuntu 11.04, Nautilus no longer autocompletes in the location bar when SSH'd into a server; any ideas? | 15:03 |
| edbian | lucenut: You create a partition that is type swap on the drive | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | RamtinA: probably find most is use by disk caching | 15:03 |
| tab1293 | mpd is not used to stream music correct? | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | RamtinA: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 15:03 |
| lucenut | So do I take some space from the 250G ntfs? | 15:03 |
| edbian | lucenut: You do that by shrinking partitions until you have some unallocated space, then you right click the unallocated space and create a new (swap) partition that is 1Gb big (1024Mb) | 15:03 |

| Chousuke | RamtinA: as long as you have free RAM left you don't need to pay attention to it | 15:04 |
| lucenut | OK, how do I "shrink" a partition? | 15:04 |
| edbian | lucenut: You have to take space from some partition probably yes | 15:04 |
| TehAndrewRyan | ActionParsnip: yes it has been written before, however if i F11 the window i don't get that problem | 15:04 |
| edbian | lucenut: right click it and choose resize | 15:04 |
| edbian | lucenut: If it has a key / lock or a red ! then you won't be able to | 15:04 |
| lucenut | There is no right-clicking on this installer screen. | 15:04 |
| Chousuke | RamtinA: and most of the time you don't need to even when you have no free RAM left :) | 15:04 |
| emily_spencer | is there a setting i can edit to repair a shaky mouse cursor | 15:04 |
| Chousuke | RamtinA: though with only 0.5GB you can run out if you run too many apps at the same time | 15:05 |
| lucenut | I can highlight the 250G partition and click the "edit" button. | 15:05 |
| edbian | lucenut: then highlight one of the partitions on the drive and use the resize button (perhaps it's called edit in the installer) | 15:05 |
| gabyy | hello... | 15:05 |
| lucenut | I mean "Change" the button is labelled. | 15:05 |
| edbian | lucenut: You are confusing me. Your hdd is 250Gb total right? | 15:05 |
| lucenut | Yes | 15:05 |
| edbian | lucenut: You should have at least 1 partition that is = or < 250Gb | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | technoviking: what desktop environment do you use? | 15:06 |
| lucenut | Yes, /dev/sda2 ntfs 2498843 | 15:06 |
| nhocht | hi | 15:06 |
| lucenut | I can highlight it and click "Change". | 15:06 |
| usr13 | lucenut: So use about half of that one. | 15:06 |
| lucenut | I don't know how to "use" it. :-( | 15:07 |
| edbian | lucenut: so you want to be editing these partitions (not the entire 250Gb drive) the partitions each are not 250Gb so don't say things like 'I'm selecting 250Gb and resizing' cause that's not true right? | 15:07 |
| nhocht | how to check infomation about USB3G on ubuntu? | 15:07 |
| lucenut | When I click "Change" I get a dialog that asks "Use As". | 15:07 |
| RamtinA | Chousuke: ok that's fine . but my computer crash around every 18 min . and i can't run rhythmbox and Firefox together | 15:07 |
| usr13 | lucenut: Resize | 15:07 |
| usr13 | not change | 15:07 |
| lucenut | OK, the 249843 partition. | 15:08 |
| gabyy | i just installed ubuntu desktop, but then i don't know what to do with it. what i should do to use it as production for digital image editing? | 15:08 |
| gabyy | :D | 15:08 |
| edbian | usr13: In the installer it's called edit / change | 15:08 |
| lucenut | I thought 250 was a good round for that. | 15:08 |
| Stanley00 | gabyy: you can use gimp and/or inkscape to edit digital picture | 15:08 |
| lucenut | There is nothing on this Allocate Drive Space screen saying "resize" anywhere. | 15:08 |
| edbian | lucenut: it's close but it is confusing because 250Gb would imply you're editing the entire drive (which you're not). If you did you would be erasing windows completely. | 15:08 |
| TehAndrewRyan | ActionParsnip: wtf i'm stuck, i alt+f4'ed spoutcraft, and now my entire primary monitor is white | 15:09 |
| edbian | lucenut: PM me? | 15:09 |
| gabyy | is there no photoshop for ubuntu. | 15:09 |
| TehAndrewRyan | ActionParsnip: i can't open a terminal, nor alt+tab to change window | 15:09 |
| Lasers | !gimp | 15:09 |
| ubottu | gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 15:09 |
| Lasers | gabyy: That's linux alternative of photoshop, gimp. | 15:09 |
| usr13 | Oh ok. lucenut As edbian points out, the option is edit / change. You want to resize the parttion, (shrink it to a smaller size). | 15:09 |
| Stanley00 | gabyy: you can install photoshop via wine or playonlinux, but I dont recommend that | 15:09 |
| EskimoBob | hi can someone please tell me what pkg. installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and /boot/vmcoreinfo files | 15:10 |
| gabyy | okay, think i'm gonna give it a try. is it in the apt? | 15:10 |
| lucenut | usr13. I highlight the 249843 partition and click "Change" and get an "Edit a partition" dialog. Nothing about resizing here. | 15:10 |
| Stanley00 | gabyy: yes, try finding it on Ubuntu software center | 15:10 |
| gabyy | thanks all. | 15:10 |
| gabyy | ^_^ | 15:10 |
| usr13 | lucenut: If you fish around there, you should find out how to resize (shrink) the largest partion in order to create enough free space for the Linux install. | 15:11 |
| RamtinA | gabyy: there isn't photoshop.but you can use gimp | 15:11 |
| usr13 | lucenut: Have you already allocated some space for swap ? | 15:12 |
| lucenut | No! | 15:12 |
| lucenut | I set the 249843 to swap and was told that was wrong. | 15:12 |
| lucenut | So I reverted it back. | 15:12 |
| Kingsy | guys, I have got a LONG flight coming up in a couple of hours.. anyone recommend any addictive games I can play on my laptop that will eat up some hours ? :) | 15:12 |
| EskimoBob | anyone? I have this fracked up install here and obviously some files are missing from the boot. I like to fix this | 15:13 |
| EskimoBob | Kingsy: read a book | 15:13 |
| Kingsy | EskimoBob: reading a book is hardly a game :P | 15:13 |
| usr13 | lucenut: Ok, well as I said, if you fish around there on that screen, you should find out how to set aside some free space for the linux install. Shrinking the largest partition is basically what you are going to do. | 15:13 |
| EskimoBob | Kingsy: read a good book and it better than a game | 15:13 |
| Kingsy | .... | 15:13 |
| gabyy | RamtinA: okkie dookie. let me familiarize myself with gimp. thanks | 15:14 |
| EskimoBob | am I on the wrong channel? | 15:14 |
| edbian | EskimoBob: I think so yes | 15:14 |
| Pici | EskimoBob: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, if you're looking for that, then you're in the right channel. | 15:15 |
| EskimoBob | so where can I get the answer to my question? what *buntu pkg. installs /boot/System.map /boot/abi and /boot/vmcoreinfo files | 15:15 |
| usr13 | lucenut: Choose that largest partition, right-click on it, and you should come up with a context menu that offers resize as an option. | 15:15 |
| EskimoBob | Pici: this is exactly what I am looking for :) | 15:15 |
| lucenut | usr13 there is no context menu right-click in this installer screen. | 15:16 |
| pawz | hai. i has a problem. i'm trying to install ubuntu on a netbook with a 1024x600 screen resolution and none of the install dialogs fit on the screen so i can't select OK or BACK etc... i wanted to try the ubuntu netbook remix, but its been replaced now with regular ubuntu... but how am i supposed to install it if i can't even fit the dialog boxes on screen ? | 15:16 |
| RamtinA | gabyy: ok . myself do graphic and work with gimp a little ;) | 15:16 |
| Pici | EskimoBob: I believe that gets copied there in the kernel post-install tasks | 15:17 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest41919 | ||
| sipior | EskimoBob: in general, try "dpkg -S <filename>". the files you're asking about are part of the kernel package, of course. | 15:17 |
| sipior | EskimoBob: linux-image-<version> | 15:18 |
| edbian | usr13: He's NOT using gparted | 15:18 |
| gabyy | Pawz : use alt and dragg with mouse | 15:18 |

| jessa | i'm trying to spoof my mac address and i get the error "too many files open in system" does this mean my hardware doesnt support mac spoofing? | 15:18 |
| dbugger | Hey guys. ive just installed Ubuntu Natty and I was wondering... how could I add a background to the grub (i dont know if what I have installed is grub, grub2 or whatever :S) | 15:18 |
| gabyy | pawz: hold alt + drag the installation windows up with your mouse or touchpad | 15:19 |
| gabyy | pawz: you should see the buttons | 15:19 |
| gabyy | ^_^ | 15:19 |
| Stanley00 | dbugger: just copy it to /boot/grub and run update-grub | 15:19 |
| gabyy | RamtinA : what else you use other than gimp? | 15:20 |
| dbugger | Stanley00, I think I already did that, and didnt work, but Ill give it another run | 15:20 |
| gabyy | dbugger : http://ubuntuguide.net/an-easy-way-to-addchange-grub2-background-image-in-ubuntu-11-04 | 15:21 |
| pawz | gabyy, ok thanks i'll try that | 15:21 |
| RamtinA | gabyy: for pixel 2d just that. | 15:21 |
| gabyy | dbugger : it should be grub2 | 15:21 |

| Polah | Afternoon | 15:26 |
| dbugger | 640x480 | 15:26 |
| mongy | Kingsy, its not for 64bit. if you want you can force install the 32bit, you need ia32-libs installed. Ive done it, works ... | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy: alternatively: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:smaxein/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install zsnes; sudo apt-get -f install | 15:27 |

| neo_ | any one can help? | 15:30 |
| dbugger | Stanley00, ok thanks | 15:30 |
| dbugger | is that size allright for a grub bg? | 15:31 |
| ActionParsnip | neo_: do torrents not 'just work' decent routers support upnp | 15:31 |
| neo_ | any one | 15:31 |
| Stanley00 | dbugger: I dont know either, it's just say that the image size must match the grub sreen size | 15:32 |
| Polah | neo_: You don't need to port forward on your system. You just need to open that port in your firewall. Port forwarding needs to be done on routers to forward incoming data on a port to an address behind the router. | 15:32 |
| neo_ | how? | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | neo_: have you ever set any rules on your PCs local firewall? | 15:33 |

| dob__ | cann i make a dist-upgrade von debian 5.0 (lenny) to 10.04? | 15:33 |
| Polah | neo_: Yes, you need access to the router for that. | 15:33 |
| Stanley00 | dbugger: and one thing more, did the update-grub recognize the image? did it say something like "Found background image: files.jpg" ? | 15:34 |

| Dr_Willis | RamtinA: optmize in what way? theres various tweaks.. but not really doing a lot if any optmizations. :) | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | RamtinA: running a local dns and configuring network manager to use it, like dnsmasq can make the web faster | 15:42 |

| livingdaylight | usr13, do you know where exactly, I dug around and couldn't find anything relevant | 15:42 |

| h00k | livingdaylight: from what I get with that, that adjusts your microphone slider up if you're quiet, and down if it's loud. | 15:46 |

| usr13 | roue: lsb_release -sc | 15:56 |

| h00k | wynn: also, iftop, (iftop -i wlan0 -B | 15:58 |
| h00k | ) | 15:58 |
| rumpe1 | arooni-mobile__, not necessarily. Maybe just an incompatibility | 15:58 |
| arooni-mobile__ | rumpe1, Bus 002 Device 005: ID 17ef:1003 Lenovo Integrated Smart Card Reader is listed | 15:59 |
| Polah | Ah, is it built in. I believe there's typically problems with those, you may be able to find drivers for it (if you don't have them already)? | 15:59 |
| rumpe1 | arooni-mobile__, then it's the card. Maybe try different usb-ports and watch "tail -f syslog" | 15:59 |
| arooni-mobile__ | rumpe1, its built in i cant move it to different usb ports | 16:00 |
| rumpe1 | arooni-mobile__, erm... i meant "tail -f /var/log/syslog" | 16:00 |
| rumpe1 | arooni-mobile__, do you have another reader somewhere? ... or put /var/log/syslog in a pastebin so i can have a look | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ive seen built in card readers that are not USB. | 16:01 |
| arooni-mobile__ | rumpe1, tailing syslog shows nothing when the card is plugged in | 16:01 |
| arooni-mobile__ | i have suspicions it might be the micro sd => sd card adapter | 16:01 |
| arooni-mobile__ | as i know other sd cards have worked with this | 16:01 |
| arooni-mobile__ | without drivers etc | 16:01 |
| Polah | arooni-mobile__, have you tried with another card? | 16:01 |
| Dr_Willis | arooni-mobile__: you may want to check the forums for that exact make laptop. Often theres some kernel options needed for some special cases. | 16:02 |

| Dr_Willis | arooni-mobile__: ive seen where a 'sdhc' (high capacity) card wont work on an older 'sd' slot. how big is the card? | 16:05 |
| arooni-mobile__ | Dr_Willis, 16gb | 16:05 |
| Dr_Willis | arooni-mobile__: be sure the slot says its a sdhc slot perhaps? in system specs or printed on teh pc somewhere. | 16:05 |
| arooni-mobile__ | Dr_Willis, slot reader should support it according to The multi-card reader only supports SD and SDHC cards with Ubuntu 10.10. | 16:05 |

| chmielsen | Hey, I have a problem. When I'm building program from a source it is later asking me for a lot of files in directories like /etc /var etc. How can I install it, so it would have files in all these places, like from synaptics? | 16:06 |
| usr13 | roue: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick-updates/ | 16:07 |
| arooni-mobile__ | Dr_Willis, i think its the fault of the adatper | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | chmielsen: when you do the 'sudo make install' it normally copies the stuff where needed... theres also ways to build a .deb from your compiled stuff. which is a neater way of doing things. | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | arooni-mobile__: could be. I got a little mini-usb adaptor i always use for my micro sd cards these days. i rarely use a microsd-sd adaptor | 16:08 |
| arooni-mobile__ | Dr_Willis, what do you mean mini-usb adaptor | 16:08 |
| RA_drc | hello, i cant see the top toolbar in any of my ubuntu (11.04) windows, what is wrong? | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | arooni-mobile__: its a litlte plug about the size of the end of your pinky. :) microsd plugs into it.. it has a usb plug on the other end. | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | arooni-mobile__: cost me like $5 on amazon.com | 16:09 |
| usr13 | RA_drc: I think it just stays hidden until you move the mouse up there. | 16:09 |
| m4xx | i've added a network drive to fstab, the box fails to boot if the network isn't connected is there an option to keep this from happening | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | global menu hides till pointer is on it. | 16:10 |
| RA_drc | usr13: that's not the case, i've moved my mouse up there, and nothing shows up | 16:10 |
| arooni-mobile__ | Dr_Willis, what would you recommend? | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | m4xx: the noauto option will stop it from auto mounting.. | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | m4xx: and the user option would let the user mount it when they wanted to. | 16:10 |
| roue | usr13 that seems to have eucalyptus-cc (2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.2) but I'm looking for eucalyptus-cc (2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4.1) (not the trailing 1 instead of 2) | 16:11 |
| Dr_Willis | arooni-mobile__: I always use that usb adaptor for mine. it always works. :) | 16:11 |
| usr13 | m4xx: pastebinit /etc/fstab #Send resultin URL. Let us have a look. | 16:11 |
| RA_drc | Dr_Willis: i'm not talking about the global menu, i'm taking about the menu bar for individual applications - i.e., the *top* toolbar like i mentioned earlier. whether i'm using the calculator, terminal, or document viewer, there is no top menubar available | 16:11 |
| Dr_Willis | RA_drc: if the global menu thing some how crashed.. they may not be showing. | 16:11 |
| m4xx | gimme a sec, lemme try to get it connected to the network | 16:11 |
| RA_drc | Dr_Willis: how could i restart it | 16:11 |

| RA_drc | Dr_Willis: and what do you mean by global menu thing? there's a bar on the left hand side of the screen, and that's working fine | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | RA_drc: the left side thing is the panel. In unity all the 'menus' are not in th eprograms windows any more. but in the top panel. | 16:13 |
| RA_drc | Polah: i have no way of dragging/minimizing individual windows | 16:13 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like your settings maybe all messed up | 16:14 |
| RA_drc | Dr_Willis: on top of the individual window, not the top of the screen | 16:14 |
| Polah | Ra_drc: Do you have a border on the windows? | 16:14 |

| RA_drc | Polah: doesn't seem liek it | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm the menus have been moved from the app window to the upper panel. thats the point of the global menu. | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | heres some videos of it.. and how to disable it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmmRKrmKc2o | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. lots of videos there.. :) | 16:17 |
| Polah | RA_drc: You have the contents of the windows but no bar on top with an exit button or suchlike, or a border? Sounds like your window manager isn't functioning. | 16:17 |
| wynn | hook: to answer your previous question (that I just saw) I found the network traffic from the wifi light flashing all the time, with no net apps running an no apparent net process running... | 16:17 |
| RA_drc | Dr_Willis: the global menu is working fine, it's just that there are no bars on top of the individual windows like there normally would be | 16:17 |
| RA_drc | Polah: that's exactly my problem | 16:17 |
| Dr_Willis | RA_drc: you mean the window title bar then.... | 16:17 |
| Dr_Willis | RA_drc: run 'compiz --replace' if its the title/decorations that are mising. :) or 'metacity --replace' | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | compiz must have crashed. | 16:18 |
| valthyx | hello, is there any library for ARP? for example, a sniffer has winpcap/libcap as it's library | 16:19 |

| cheako | Hello, ne1 using mcxv with r600 DRI drivers? | 16:20 |
| cheako | mesa? | 16:20 |
| tmus | valthyx, is that what you meant? | 16:20 |
| valthyx | tmus, no, i means something like, a library where i could perform numerous ARP operations like gratuitos arp, arp lookup and so on | 16:21 |
| RA_drc | Dr_Willis: no, i meant exactly what i said, not what you thought i meant. always and exactly. | 16:21 |
| alexd285 | hello, I have the gst-keyboard-xkb id:805747 bug and I cannot fix it, any ideas? | 16:21 |
| cheako | valthyx: pcap | 16:21 |
| RA_drc | Dr_Willis: but what you suggested worked, so thanks | 16:21 |
| valthyx | cheako, is it similar to winpcap? | 16:22 |
| cheako | should let you build and use custom packates, yeah. | 16:22 |
| tmus | valthyx, that *might* be the vdso library, but I'm not really sure... | 16:22 |
| RobinJ | Great... I think Ubuntu's killing my battery | 16:22 |
| gentoo-intel | RobinJ, did you just come from windows? | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | RA_drc: the 'menubar' is not the 'title bar' | 16:23 |
| RobinJ | the battery's capacity is only 36% left, 2 days ago it was stil 60% | 16:23 |
| tmus | valthyx, as far as i know, vdso provides some hooks into the kernel - which might be able to help here... | 16:23 |
| RobinJ | gentoo-intel: no windblows here | 16:23 |
| poridge | how can i set it up so users don't have access to list files in other peoples home folders? | 16:23 |
| gentoo-intel | RobinJ, i was only going to say that newer kernels seem to use much more battery | 16:23 |
| valthyx | i am not sure if winpcap could really craft custom packets, as far as i know, they are used for sniffing | 16:23 |
| RobinJ | gentoo-intel: and i mean the total energy it holds when fully charged, not just how much it's charged | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl off to the dr office. | 16:24 |
| Polah | RobinJ: 2.6.38 kernel has known power issues, not sure if they've been patched or anything. | 16:24 |
| valthyx | tmus, ok, will check that out | 16:24 |
| do0 | hi | 16:24 |
| gentoo-intel | Polah, nope kernels > 3 are even worse | 16:24 |
| RobinJ | Polah: not talking here about a battery wich drains quickly on ubuntu, i mean the actual hardware | 16:24 |
| alexd285 | RobinJ power regression is not fixed in 3.1 kernel also. you have to w8 more | 16:25 |
| do0 | There is a tool which compile python script like python2exe ? | 16:25 |
| RobinJ | its maximum capacity | 16:25 |
| RobinJ | alex__c2022: is "power regression" supposed to KILL MY BATTERY? | 16:25 |

| RobinJ | in the beginning it was the other way around | 16:26 |
| and7ey | hi all, where should I ask questions about cross compilation on ubuntu? | 16:26 |
| shomon | do0, "python"? | 16:26 |
| valthyx | cheako, will check that out | 16:26 |

| ActionParsnip | mrskite: you can do it from liveCD using a chroot | 16:41 |
| Escherial | (this is after renaming ~/.libreoffice to ~/.libreoffice_old, which incidentally caused libreoffice impress to complain a few times of missing "BASICS" files before it crashed) | 16:41 |

| belarm | That's what you get after trying to start it? | 17:02 |
| mneptok | belarm: TFTP secluded to the local network is not terrible. but as an actual userspace transfer protocol, FTP has been superceded. | 17:02 |
| akSeya | belarm: yeap | 17:03 |
| belarm | Yes, mneptok. FTP is. TFTP is, as I said, still very useful - just not for humans. | 17:03 |
| belarm | Well, akSeya, that's not good. | 17:03 |

| Lasers | p2bne: Ask away. Just spit it out. | 17:04 |

| pzn | I have many problems in my ubuntu 11.04. something has crashed :-) many screens are with weird chars. example clock-set-screen: http://static.inky.ws/image/636/image.jpg how to fix this? any package should be reinstalled? | 17:05 |
| calamari | oh, fixed it! changed hinting to None and it looks a ton better | 17:05 |
| belarm | akSeya, I'm using the standard options, but from /etc/default/tftpd-hpa, not inetd. | 17:05 |
| mneptok | akSeya: and be aware, a lot of daemons deliberately break their default config file to ensure admins actually look at it and edit it for their environment. you'll want to step through that file carefully. | 17:05 |
| akSeya | hold on | 17:06 |
| belarm | The issue you were originally having with atftpd seems like it could have been caused by not specifying a --bind-address option if you have more than one NIC. | 17:06 |
| * lethu is away: Awwwwway... | 17:06 | |
| belarm | mneptok, I've yet to see that behavior in an Ubuntu package. | 17:06 |
| mneptok | belarm: it's still a good idea to actually parse config files rather than invoke the daemon with the default, IMO | 17:07 |

It remains there for more than 20 minute! I have a SSD SATA Hard Drive, Corsair F40. Any hits? | 18:10 |
| pzn | Guest68384, many screens with "label empty" message... the shutdown screen has this: "label empty/suspend/hibernate/..." and many windows with unknown or weird chars | 18:11 |
| Guest68384 | run sudo /etc/init.d restart from a terminal | 18:11 |
| Guest68384 | soz forgot the gdm lol | 18:12 |
| Guest68384 | pzn, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 18:12 |
| pzn | Guest68384, full machine reboot does not fix this. | 18:12 |
| bluj | as of about the last week or two, ubuntu 10.04 cant seem to keep track of logged in users? e.g. running who is empty, or 'w' says 0 users. i rebooted the box and when i logged in it did work again for a second, e.g. it should my currently logged in session (1 user). now ive done some outbound ssh's and its 0 users again, whats up? | 18:12 |
| Guest68384 | or maybe service gdm restart i think its changed.. | 18:12 |
| Guest68384 | pzn that just does the gdm, you are running Gnome ? | 18:13 |
| Guest68384 | pzn, what video card you got ? | 18:13 |
| zteam | Hi | 18:13 |
| Guest68384 | pzn # lspci | grep VGA | 18:14 |
| ProphetZ | I connect to a hidden wireless network. Any way to make the system connect automatically upon startup? Right now I have to select it, then provide Admin password. Not desirable for an "Internet" account. | 18:14 |
| zteam | Does anybody here knows if there is a way to restore systray so any apps can use without changing color of the gnome panel on the same time | 18:14 |
| zteam | ? | 18:14 |
| pzn | Guest68384, yes, running default ubuntu, that is gnome. "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)" | 18:15 |
| cmdbbq | ok, going through logs, and i have boot errors about dependancy issues. can anyone help me with using dpkg to scan and repair installed packages? | 18:15 |
| Guest68384 | check your cable! | 18:16 |

| Guest68384 | dr-willis, im looking but cant find anything about supergrub2disk? | 18:17 |
| Guest68384 | brb | 18:17 |
| orazio | I seem I have the same problem of the ubuntu forum! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1624536 9.04 supports Corsair SSD Hard drives, whereas 10.04 no. Should be possible? | 18:18 |
| tasos99 | i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what should i do? | 18:18 |
| ProphetZ | Is there a good way to make Ubuntu 11.04 connect to a hidden wireless connection upon startup? | 18:18 |
| Guest68384 | dr-willis, something like :- growisofs -Z /dev/cdr=/tmp/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso | 18:19 |
| Guest68384 | growisofs -M /dev/cdr/boot-isos/ -J -R /tmp/clonezilla-live-20110721-natty.iso, that works lol | 18:19 |
| zteam | Does anybody here knows if there is a way to restore systray so any apps can use without changing color of the systray on the same time??? | 18:19 |
| pzn | Guest68384, check my cable? it is a notebook :-) | 18:21 |
| Guest68384 | lol | 18:21 |
| Guest68384 | pzn get the updates, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, or use the update manager.. | 18:22 |
| pzn | Guest68384, already did this 2 reboots ago :-( | 18:23 |
| lucenut | So I downloaded easytether for ubuntu and it installed through the software center. But I can't figure out how to start the program. | 18:23 |
| lucenut | I don't see it under Applications. In the software center the button says "Reinstall" so it looks like it's installed. | 18:23 |
| mounir | Hi Joey | 18:23 |
| Guest68384 | well i was having issues with intel driver and used the ppa for upstream and that worked.. | 18:23 |
| Guest68384 | pzn, ^ | 18:23 |

| prakas | unity is so terrible. how to disable the left dock bar? | 18:25 |
| tasos99 | i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what should i do? | 18:25 |
| Guest68384 | has anyone build a custom supergrub2disk that included other iso on it ? how do you do it! | 18:26 |
| prakas | is there a way to hide the left dock bar in unity? | 18:26 |
| prakas | it takes a lot of space | 18:26 |
| kscloud | so I'm having issues with wireless in Oneiric, anyone else having issues? | 18:26 |
| kscloud | (Sometimes it will slow to a crawl and won't go about 4kbps until I plug it into a line) | 18:27 |
| dr-willis | prakas: ccsm tool has settings for that | 18:27 |
| prakas | where is the ccsm tool? | 18:28 |
| prakas | will ubuntu really drop support of gnome 2 shell in ubuntu 11.10 and higher? | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: its moving to gnome3 | 18:29 |
| knightstalker | prakas,its dropped in the beta edition | 18:29 |
| dr-willis | prakas: it allready has been dropped in beta | 18:29 |
| knightstalker | but in beta edition repositories,we already have a fall back,which is like gnome 2 | 18:29 |
| prakas | unity is terrible. doesnt let me launch apps easily. i have to type term in order to launch terminal | 18:30 |
| prakas | and the left docking bar takes a lot of space | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: there is an unofficial fork of gnome2 called 'mate' omgubuntu has a story on it | 18:30 |
| prakas | unity is a step behind! seriously | 18:30 |
| dr-willis | unuty is not terriable. ut is a work in progress however | 18:30 |
| conathan | I was wondering, ubuntu has /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Where can I find the flags/patches ubuntu used to build binutils that way? | 18:30 |
| knightstalker | prakas,fall back mode does the job for you then,Unity is improved,GNOME Shell is available in repos,and you can always try Xfce,Kde | 18:30 |
| mrintegrity | prakas: try gnome3 with gnome-shell.. i am using it and really got used to it now | 18:30 |
| dr-willis | prakas: go try the beta. | 18:30 |
| mrintegrity | not tried unity though | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: unity2d replaces ubuntu classic in oneiric | 18:31 |
| joe__ | 11.04 kills my mini battery! > 1 hour | 18:31 |
| prakas | does unity2d has menus that can be selected via the mouse? | 18:31 |
| knightstalker | prakas,no... :p,its alot like Unity | 18:31 |
| prakas | unity doesnt let me use the mouse to launch apps which is annoying | 18:31 |
| prakas | lol | 18:31 |
| xyzzy___ | Can I use AppArmor to block network access on a per-application basis? | 18:32 |
| prakas | then it is fail! | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: there are more DEs than gnome, try an alternative if you dislike unity | 18:32 |
| prakas | looking up omgbuntu | 18:32 |
| knightstalker | prakas,as said,use GNOME 3 Fall Back if you enjoy classic,I am unsure if it will be in repositories of final edition of 11.10,but its in beta repositories so will probably be in 11.10 repositories =) | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: are you serious? Sure you can launch apps with mouse | 18:33 |

| Somelauw | If I have an external harddrive and I want to use it for both backing up both linux and windows files and you want it to be very reliable, would you either partition it as nfts or would you double-partition it with ntfs and ext4? | 18:34 |
| F1skr | for some reason my ethernet card isn't recognized by ubuntu, it does work if i boot up a live-cd and in windows just not under this current installation, any ideas how i can troubleshoot this, and fix it? | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: click ubuntu icon in top left then drop down the installed apps, scroll down and you will see ALL available apps. You can drag them to the unity bar for convenience | 18:34 |
| prakas | ActionParsnip: yes but i have to click once then type in the search bar the name of the app to have it displayed and then click, in case of menus it was easier, just point and another menu pops up | 18:34 |
| tasos99 | i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what should i do? | 18:35 |
| urlin2u | Somelauw, ubuntu will read ntfs windows wont read ext4 easily . | 18:35 |
| joe__ | How can I automate backing up files from my ubuntu server to windows nas | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: no, you don't HAVE TO type, as I said | 18:35 |
| cmdbbq | tasos99: open disk utility from System > Administration and unmount the HDD in question | 18:35 |
| prakas | ActionParsnip: or click on All Applications or drag them to the left dock. i dislike the left dock. takes space of my 10" netbook screen | 18:36 |
| tasos99 | cmdbbq: Im using a live CD, nothing is mounted at all | 18:36 |
| knightstalker | prakas,search for terminal once,put it in shortcuts | 18:36 |
| urlin2u | prakas, try the applications buton in the left menu. | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | joe__: cron is one solution | 18:36 |
| Somelauw | I heard ubuntu can read ntfs perfectly, but I would like it if even more people would confirm it. | 18:36 |
| prakas | i want to get rid of the left dock ;) | 18:36 |
| F1skr | i run linux 2.6.38-11 | 18:36 |
| knightstalker | Somelauw,it does read it perfect =) | 18:36 |
| urlin2u | Somelauw, yes it is true. | 18:36 |
| cmdbbq | tasos99: it may have automounted the hdd, does it show up at all in disk utility? | 18:36 |
| pzn | Guest68384, ppa did not upgrade anything :-( it is there in sources list, but all "default karmic 11.4 64bits" packages are newer than ppa | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: thats different and makes sense. I suggest you switch to xfce or lxde | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: or even kde | 18:37 |
| Somelauw | knightstalker, urlin2u: Thanks | 18:37 |
| tasos99 | cmdbbq: it doesnt show up at 'mount' | 18:37 |
| tasos99 | cmdbbq: and 'umount /dev/sda6' claims that the device isnt mounted | 18:38 |
| prakas | ActionParsnip: my screen is 10" and that bar doesnt hide when an app is lauched. it takes a lot of area of my screen | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: it can be made to hide | 18:38 |
| prakas | how? | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: so will use zero screen | 18:38 |
| dr-willis | the panel can autohide. and you can make it smaller | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: its a setting in ccsm. | 18:39 |
| prakas | ccsm is a command line app? | 18:39 |
| dr-willis | ccsm tool. unity plugin settings | 18:39 |
| xyzzy___ | Wow, I just discovered that I've switched to an OS with *no* per-application network control! Not even 3rd party! It's all based on blind trust that "you don't need it"! | 18:39 |

| balr0g | hello guys, im newbie, and trying to install a software outputs this: http://pastebin.com/rZpK6e5Y can anyone please help me to solve it? tks | 18:40 |
| urlin2u | xyzzy___, you switched to windows? | 18:40 |
| tasos99 | cmdbbq: thats what fdisk-l told me | 18:40 |
| cmdbbq | strange | 18:40 |
| prakas | :) | 18:40 |
| LearnUbuntu | How can i make PDF to text and count the texts? | 18:40 |
| balr0g | i tried to apt-get glib-2.0 but it seems doesnt work... | 18:40 |
| prakas | i feel i should try xubuntu instead. the menus help me work faster | 18:41 |
| LearnUbuntu | prakas, LearnUbuntu | 18:41 |
| lucenut | OK, so I found I can start easy tether in a terminal session with "easytether connect" but then I have to keep the terminal window open. | 18:41 |
| xyzzy___ | urlin2u: Per-application firewalls are standard in Windows. I've probably been through at least 5 in my time. A week on Ubuntu and I can't even find one. I'm watching stuff from the default install merrily connect out as we speak | 18:42 |
| lucenut | How else can I start easy tether? | 18:42 |
| tasos99 | cmdbbq: the filesystem damage tricks fsck into thinking its already being used | 18:42 |
| tasos99 | cmdbbq: lsof and fuser show nothing | 18:42 |
| xyzzy___ | urlin2u: No idea who it's connecting to or why it would need to | 18:42 |
| area51pilot | \join ##windows | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: thats a better reason to dislike it. I'm kinda halfway, i can take or leave it but use it so I can support it better | 18:43 |
| trism | balr0g: the files required to compile software are generally in the -dev packages, in this case you need libglib2.0-dev | 18:43 |
| prakas | xubuntu looks much better i saw in screenshots now | 18:43 |
| urlin2u | xyzzy___, you have silent ports, and no danger of the badware stuff like windows, it is a different thing. If you try to run linux like windows you will have problems. | 18:43 |
| LearnUbuntu | I have my desktop screen with VGA. And from another PC i am connected to SSH. But from another PC using SSH how can i open Leafpad on the Screen? | 18:43 |
| tasos99 | i tried to fsck.ext4 my damaged filesystem from a live CD but it says its mounted or explicitly opened for another program, what should i do? | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | balr0g: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 18:44 |
| prakas | ActionParsnip: working with unity perhaps make me like 5% slower ;) in overall without the menus | 18:44 |
| prakas | menus were a cool idea. curse on gnome 3 and unity! | 18:45 |
| urlin2u | prakas, quit complaining you just installed it and are ranting. | 18:45 |
| Pici | xyzzy___: I believe you could craft an apparmor profile to restrict an application's ability to make network connections, but that is rather in-depth. | 18:45 |
| === Andy80 is now known as Andy80-Owl | ||
| ActionParsnip | LearnUbuntu: i believe it's: export DISPLAY :0:0 && leafpad | 18:45 |
| prakas | urlin2u: installed it for 2 days | 18:45 |
| LearnUbuntu | ActionParsnip, thank you, was just googleing.. | 18:45 |
| urlin2u | prakas, great and you are using the support channel with abuse. | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | prakas: as i always say, there is more than gnome | 18:46 |
| joe__ | urlin: Just boot'em | 18:46 |
| xyzzy___ | urlin2u: That's the classic answer. I don't know what is particularly Windows-centric about per-application network control. Linux comes with per-port or per-IP access control in the kernel - it strikes me that per-application is a logical third option. Windows security people realised this 10 years ago. People in the Ubuntu forums spent 10 years telling people it's so great already you just don't need it. | 18:46 |
| prakas | ActionParsnip: thanks for recommending xfce :) | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | LearnUbuntu: use websearch to verify, I'm not 100% on the syntax | 18:46 |
| erez_ | היי | 18:47 |
| LearnUbuntu | ActionParsnip, no worries thanks :) | 18:47 |
| xyzzy___ | Pici: I'm not fussed about in-depth, I'd settle for "possible" at this stage. | 18:47 |

| balr0g | i tried to apt-get glib-2.0 but it seems doesnt work... | 18:48 |
| guntbert | prakas: this is a support channel, ranting here doesn't help anyone | 18:49 |
| trism | balr0g: the files required to compile software are generally in the -dev packages, in this case you need libglib2.0-dev (repost from above, sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev;) | 18:49 |
| urlin2u | prakas, #ubuntu-offtopic is where that belongs, this is support. | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | joe__: if a system cannot resolve its own name then sudo will not work, hence sudo -i | 18:49 |
| xyzzy___ | urlin2u: This "only windows heads want per-app firewalls" reasoning sounds to me like defending Ubuntu by trying to turn a deficiency into a feature. Again, I don't understand why it's unreasonable to want to control network access on an application basis. The best argument against it I've heard is basically that linux apps are more trustworthy. I don't work at that level of face-value. | 18:50 |

| dr-willis | what no fdisk? ;) | 19:02 |
| prakas | there is possibly a bug idk. when a shell script has a line starting with sudo and i run the shell script without sudo, it doesnt ask me to input the root password and automatically runs the command as non-root. has anyone tried this? | 19:02 |
| pr0ton | why doesnt this work? find . -name "*.info" | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | dr-willis: or parted :) | 19:02 |
| pr0ton | i want to search for files with a .info extension? | 19:02 |
| Pici | pr0ton: find /path/ -iname "*.info" | 19:03 |
| pr0ton | doesnt work | 19:03 |
| Pici | pr0ton: Why not? | 19:03 |
| prakas | i didn't have the issue with ubuntu 10.04. it always asked me to enter the password when running the shell script if contained sudo inside | 19:03 |
| pr0ton | Pici, it should be recursive for me | 19:03 |
| ActionParsnip | pr0ton: iname is all i can advise extra | 19:03 |
| Pici | pr0ton: find is normally recursive. | 19:03 |
| pr0ton | the files are actually just .info | 19:04 |
| pr0ton | they're not like, a.info or anything | 19:04 |
| pr0ton | maybe ubuntu hides files with a . as first character? | 19:04 |
| === _s0rta-gnu is now known as _myself_shavin | ||
| ActionParsnip | pr0ton: could make a file with the extensions so it will at least find that | 19:04 |
| Pici | pr0ton: Linux normally hides files which start with . Use ls -a to see them, find should bring them up though. | 19:04 |
| ActionParsnip | pr0ton: * will include hidden files | 19:05 |
| pr0ton | ActionParsnip, and the command would be? | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | pr0ton: touch findme.info | 19:06 |
| pr0ton | no, u said, "* will include hidden files" | 19:06 |
| pr0ton | touch creates a file | 19:06 |

| GhostWolf | hi all, i know theres a simpler way to get samba installed and configed with 11.04, i just did a fresh install cause i was having a bad hard drive. how would i do that if anyone can help | 19:08 |
| stillParsnip | StillParsnip: this is actionParsnip. Went through a dead area | 19:08 |
| pr0ton | mkanyicy, it doesnt show .info files though | 19:08 |

| * meta-coder is here. | 19:08 | |
| pr0ton | yes | 19:08 |

| pr0ton | however when i checked for json | 19:08 |
| stillParsnip | GhostWolf: sudo apt-get install samba | 19:08 |
| pr0ton | it showed my json files under the symlinked directory | 19:08 |
| Pici | pr0ton: find doesn't normally traverse symlinks. | 19:09 |
| pr0ton | so i cd'd and ran it | 19:09 |
| pr0ton | it worked | 19:09 |
| pr0ton | just read man pages | 19:09 |
| pr0ton | i need to add a -H or something | 19:09 |

| meta-coder | Guile: SImilarly I want to know all the lib available to be included as is -lm. | 19:31 |
| Guile | meta-coder: So, there is no list for which -lx you can use. The filename to the library which is indicated after -l can be any name, also you can use your own created library. | 19:32 |
| Pici | Cypher2: Yes, but you're trying to push to launchpad, so it is probably best to ask them about any known issues or tips. | 19:32 |
| Guile | meta-coder: when you yous -lm gcc looks for libm.a which is commonly at /usr/lib/libm.a | 19:33 |
| Cypher2 | k.. i will | 19:33 |
| Guile | meta-coder: So you can just use ls -1 /usr/lib/*.a for knowing which values you can use. :) Gotcha? | 19:33 |

| monstro | hi everyone, | 19:51 |
| monstro | I have 2GB RAM DDR3 and the command "free -mt" showed just free: "17" I'm using the 11.04. Why just 17MB free? strange! | 19:51 |
| user | Ok let me try that | 19:52 |
| oCean | user: did you run sudo apt-get update | 19:52 |
| oCean | user: because the package you mention is actuall a build1: libiso9660-7_0.81-4build1_i386.deb | 19:52 |
| user | I can install anything from the software centre | 19:52 |
| monstro | What's the best way to measure? | 19:52 |
| user | Does this make any sence? | 19:52 |
| oCean | user: sudo apt-get update does not install, it updates the repo metadata | 19:52 |
| usr13 | user: sudo apt-get update | 19:52 |
| rumpe1 | andre_, so install ruby | 19:53 |
| dfcnvt | user, did you type that command line, "apt-get update" in your terminal? What was the result? | 19:53 |
| user | I allready did an update and upgrade...still nothing | 19:53 |
| Guest66053 | Q: try to link airport express with ubuntu 11.04. Using pulseaudio -k after startup to find the AE. But ubuntu find it 2 times? And i can't select them, sound preferences hanges. Anybody a idea?? Thanks | 19:53 |
| dfcnvt | user, switch to su then try "apt-get update" | 19:53 |
| usr13 | user: http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libc/libcdio/libiso9660-7_0.81-4_i386.deb does not exist on the server | 19:53 |
| monstro | anyone can I help me? | 19:54 |
| oCean | user: run apt-cache policy libiso9660-7 | 19:54 |
| user | It updates with no problem | 19:54 |
| usr13 | user: See: http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libc/libcdio/ | 19:54 |
| oCean | usr13: no, as I said it's a newer version | 19:54 |
| usr13 | o | 19:54 |
| oCean | user: run the apt-cache policy command | 19:54 |
| user | NO Run command | 19:54 |
| oCean | user: apt-cache policy libiso9660-7 | 19:54 |
| dfcnvt | user, yea, you'll need to type such "apt-cache search NAME_HERE" | 19:55 |
| oCean | user: then see what is Candidate | 19:55 |
| user | libiso9660-7: | 19:55 |
| user | Installed: (none) | 19:55 |
| user | Candidate: 0.81-4 | 19:55 |
| user | Version table: | 19:55 |

| FloodBot1 | user: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:55 |
| dfcnvt | user, if you find something you'd like to install, then do so, "apt-get install NAME_HERE" from the list of apt-cache... | 19:55 |
| oCean | user: and that^ is weird, since it should read Candidate: 0.81-4build1 | 19:55 |
| oCean | dfcnvt: that is not his problem | 19:56 |
| usr13 | user: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 19:56 |

| wafflesburger | and i need to specy a --build flag | 20:04 |
| user | This keeps on happening to me...weird crap allways popsup | 20:04 |
| wafflesburger | an example flag was "--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" | 20:04 |
| wafflesburger | how can i determine which string i need there | 20:04 |
| user | Now I'm stuck AGIAN | 20:04 |
| oCean | user: well, you could try to remove the PPA's from your sources, since those are never officially supported. | 20:05 |
| BiKER-JENS | hallo all, im new with ubuntu where does my file "land" when i do the mv file.extension .file.extenseion ? | 20:05 |
| oCean | But I don't see in this case how they could cause this conflict | 20:05 |
| genii-around | wafflesburger: So then to find out what architecture your machine is, is in the result of: uname -p | 20:05 |
| oCean | BiKER-JENS: in your current directory, that is in the directory where you issue the command | 20:05 |
| wafflesburger | its x86_54 genii-around but what abotu the rest of that string :P | 20:06 |
| wafflesburger | 64* | 20:06 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | BiKER-JENS: Yep. It's just not displayed by default in Nautilus, since the leading "." indicates that the file is hidden | 20:06 |
| user | Those are the lastest releases? | 20:06 |
| BiKER-JENS | arghh okay | 20:06 |
| BiKER-JENS | thanks then :p | 20:06 |
| user | I'm going to try a diffrent coutrie's server | 20:06 |
| BiKER-JENS | thats why ls cant show it :p | 20:06 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | BiKER-JENS: Use "ls -a" | 20:07 |
| genii-around | wafflesburger: The one you gave should work | 20:07 |
| wafflesburger | okies | 20:08 |
| BiKER-JENS | nice for all the info :D | 20:08 |

| nitroghost | got a question, wonder if i can get some feedback | 20:08 |
| Antonjo | prism driver | 20:08 |
| nitroghost | i've got a netbook | 20:08 |
| usr13 | Antonio007: prism WiFi NIC? | 20:09 |
| nitroghost | and ubuntu 10.04 | 20:09 |
| Antonjo | yes | 20:09 |
| trism | Antonjo: the p54 firmware is in linux-firmware-nonfree, the drivers are included by default | 20:09 |
| usr13 | Antonio007: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? | 20:09 |
| nitroghost | and flash videos and contents were somewhat slower than windows | 20:09 |
| usr13 | Antonio007: lsb_release -sc | 20:09 |
| usr13 | show us | 20:09 |
| nitroghost | wondering if that got fixed or "faster" on the latest version? | 20:10 |
| Antonjo | ubuntu 11, but I upgraded the kernel to version 3 | 20:10 |
| usr13 | Antonjo: There is your problem. The new kernel | 20:10 |
| Antonjo | just a minute, ì'l tell you | 20:10 |
| user | How is Ubuntu 11? | 20:10 |
| Cypher2 | joined launchpad.. no answer... | 20:10 |

| klj613 | i've got a NTFS hdd attached (path: /media/Media) however PHP cant chmod it. (i dont want to remove chmod as in production it wont be on NTFS). it has got a umask of 000. what can i do? | 20:13 |
| trism | Antonjo: we don't support custom kernels here, although there is no reason it shouldn't work assuming you have the firmware from linux-firmware-nonfree and properly enabled the drivers | 20:13 |
| user | No that my APT-GET INSTALL doesn't work anymore what will happen to all the downloads I just did. About 300MB | 20:13 |
| klj613 | i thought i solved the problem before by using the ntfs-3g driver | 20:13 |
| Antonjo | The fact is this: the usb stick is US-robotics | 20:14 |
| Antonjo | I tried nediswrapper | 20:14 |
| trism | Antonjo: for the stock natty kernel, you need to make sure to update to 2.6.38-11 since there is a bug in versions less than 2.6.38-10 which will cause p54 to fail to connect | 20:14 |
| Antonjo | but after, say 3 minutes, the system hangs | 20:14 |
| user | YIPPEEEE, I change country servers and it's working. South Africa's Server is DOWN | 20:15 |
| BarkingFish | Antonjo, which kernel are you using? | 20:15 |

| monstro | ? | 20:16 |
| Antonjo | unpgrading and ungrading 2.6.38, 2.6.39 etc. now i am on 3.04, but the system keeps freezing when I plug the stick in the usb port | 20:16 |
| monstro | I have 2GB of RAM and the 11.04 consume about 1GB. :-( | 20:17 |
| user | Who here used the 200 Line Kernel Patch? Is it worth it? | 20:17 |
| usr13 | monstro: Well, how does the system run? | 20:17 |
| BarkingFish | I didn't even know there was a 3.04 kernel, i'm still running 2.6.38-11 | 20:17 |
| BarkingFish | :) | 20:17 |
| usr13 | monstro: Is it performing ok for you? | 20:17 |

| === nosa is now known as nosa-j | ||
| usr13 | monstro: You could switch to xfce sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 20:18 |
| BarkingFish | Antonjo, is this a custom kernel you're using? | 20:18 |
| Antonjo | ok I can boot as you with ...38 again, the problem is which is the proper kernel for ndiswrapper? | 20:18 |
| Antonjo | I can boot, as you know, with ...38 again, the problem is which is the proper kernel for ndiswrapper? | 20:18 |
| BarkingFish | Antonjo, I have ndiswrapper running 2 sticks here on 2.6.38-11 and they both work fine | 20:18 |

| monstro | usr13, yes, its performace ok. | 20:19 |
| BarkingFish | you should have no problems | 20:19 |
| user | ExtraBob Just do an normal installation and deeper in the installation you will be asked about the partitioning | 20:19 |

| andaluz | Somehow lightning adds %20 to my email address | 20:20 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: or what error you get... | 20:20 |
| andaluz | Does anyone know how to work around this? | 20:20 |
| Antonjo | is stock for natty 2.6.38 ? | 20:20 |
| user | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) WHat does this mean? | 20:20 |
| TeleportLisa | this is the response I get | 20:20 |
| TeleportLisa | eject: tried to use `/media/cdrom' as device name but it is no block device | 20:20 |
| TeleportLisa | eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom' | 20:20 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob: Ubuntu 11.04 probably won't need noapic (the bug probably would've been fixed), but when booting off USB, hit 'esc' during the purple screen with the icons at the bottom. | 20:21 |
| th0r | andaluz: that is usually added when there is a space in the name/title | 20:21 |
| Gnarls | whats up noobuntus? | 20:21 |
| brontosaurusrex | what is the latest version of chrome stable? | 20:22 |
| andaluz | th0r, you are right. But, I don't add spaces at all, that's the whole problem. On MS Windows I did the same, which is processed well | 20:22 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo no the bug is not fixed, when booting from the usb stick it crashes, when booting from the usb the scren is black not purple like 10.10 and i cant seem to find anyway to find a noapic option or any other option for that matter | 20:22 |
| andaluz | I think it's a bug... | 20:23 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: What type of CDROM is it? IDE? or...? | 20:23 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: Is this a desktop computer or laptop or...? | 20:23 |
| mongy | ExtraBob, the option is in the F6 menu same as the cd isnt it | 20:24 |
| TeleportLisa | Laptop computer. It's the internal cd-rom, Philips brand I think. It | 20:24 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob: I'm not sure then. Can you access Grub2 from the USB? (Hitting esc right after the BIOS screen, before the purple screen). | 20:24 |
| iwantfroyo | mongy, he said he can't get to the purple screen. | 20:24 |
| TeleportLisa | it's a Gateway computer | 20:24 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: ls -l /dev/cdrom | pastebinit | 20:25 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: or just tell us what ls -l /dev/cdrom says. | 20:25 |
| user | OMG I'm gonna Fu@!*ing BOOT this pc out the Fu@!ing window...THEN all my problems are fixed. | 20:25 |
| hydro_ | omg i am so lost. Icannot install nvidia drivers...anybody know how to disable xserver | 20:25 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, if you can get to Grub2, you can edit the first option to include noapic. I'm not sure if this works from a liveusb, though. | 20:26 |
| TeleportLisa | ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory | 20:26 |
| TeleportLisa | The program 'pastebinit' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 20:26 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo i can get the options try ubuntu install ubuntu test memory etc etc, BUT the screen is black and white in 11.04 not pink like 10.10 and for me there are no extra options like in 10.10 when you hit f6 over try ubuntu there came up a little square with several option including noapic but this for me from an usb stick does not exist in ubuntu 11.04 | 20:26 |
| TeleportLisa | sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 20:26 |
| TeleportLisa | so should I install? | 20:26 |
| usr13 | yes | 20:26 |
| Antonjo | usr13: I tried a live Puppy and my stick worked out of the box. In Puppy with lsmod I saw | 20:26 |
| Antonjo | mac80211 99898 2 p54usb,p54common. | 20:26 |
| Antonjo | So I think that I do not need ndiswrapper, is it? | 20:26 |
| mneptok | user: profanity, even obfuscated, is not welcome | 20:27 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, I'm not sure if Grub2 is installed on the USB, but you might be able to get to it before hitting the purple screen. esc is the trigger key. | 20:27 |
| usr13 | Antonjo: No, you don't need ndiswrapper | 20:27 |
| trism | Antonjo: correct, you shouldn't need ndiswrapper, but you will need linux-firmware-nonfree, because the p54 firmware was moved there and it is not installed by default | 20:27 |
| hydro_ | .anybody know how to disable xserver | 20:27 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo i say again in ubuntu 11.04 the screen is not purple but bacl and white | 20:27 |
| TeleportLisa | ok installed and re-entered command. got this | 20:28 |
| TeleportLisa | ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory | 20:28 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, and I'm not talking about the screen that asks you the language and whether you want to install or try. I assume you know what Grub2 looks like? | 20:28 |
| TeleportLisa | You are trying to send an empty document, exiting. | 20:28 |
| BarkingFish | trism, can I just check, the linux-firmware-nonfree, do you know if there's any firmware in there for atheros usb and rtl8192cu sticks? | 20:28 |
| Antonjo | because it is full of tutorials for my stick us robotics suggestig ndiswrapper | 20:28 |
| iwantfroyo | And as long as you can get to the screen that asks if you want to install or try (since it seems that's what you're talking about), then you should be able to edit the menu option from there to include noapic without using F6. | 20:29 |
| user | Does anyone have the Skype pluging for Rhythmbox? The only freaking place to download it is closed. http://live.gnome.org/RhythmboxPlugins/ThirdParty | 20:29 |

| usr13 | TeleportLisa: Have you done updates yet? | 20:29 |
| === root is now known as Guest23150 | ||
| TeleportLisa | yes, yesterday | 20:29 |
| BarkingFish | at the moment, I have 2 usb wifi sticks, an Atheros AR5523 and an RTL8192 stick, both using ndiswrapper. I'd prefer not to run it at all if I can help it. | 20:29 |
| trism | BarkingFish: I'm sorry, I do not know, I just have a bunch of p54 cards and they need the isl firmware | 20:29 |
| BarkingFish | ah, ok | 20:30 |
| === nosa is now known as nosa-j | ||
| BarkingFish | I know about the ath5k module, but that only supports inbuilt cards. It's running my inbuilt wifi right now. | 20:30 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo for me everything is black and white this option of selecting language does not exist for me in the 11.04 version on an usb stick like it did in 10.10 there is no colour in the 11.04 usb stick version there is no pink | 20:30 |

| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, so excluding the language-screen popup (actually, I don't think this exists in Natty), can you edit menu entries? (I think it's either TAB or 'e') | 20:31 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: You should not have to burn CD as root | 20:31 |
| user | http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xhruby16/rb-plugin/ Can anyone that have the Skype plugin for Rhymbox mail it to me please | 20:31 |
| Antonjo | trism: i used ndiswrapper, but it freezes everything, then i discovered that with puppy nothing hangs and this line (mac80211 99898 2 p54usb,p54common. ) suggests it is because of no ndis | 20:31 |
| TeleportLisa | http://paste.ubuntu.com/683834/ | 20:31 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: pastebinit /etc/group | 20:31 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, what I mean is, does it say anywhere: "Try Ubuntu," "Install Ubuntu," "Memory Check," "etc." | 20:31 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, even if it's black and white, it should work. | 20:32 |
| ExtraBob | iwantforyo yes i wrote that :) i can select try ubuntu install ubuntu test memory etc etc | 20:32 |
| ExtraBob | iwantforyo and all of this is in black and white not pink like in 10.10 | 20:32 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, sorry. I must've missed it. Oops. I think it might actually supposed to be black for Natty. It certainly is for Ubuntu Studio and Xubuntu. | 20:32 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, is it that it's black that is the issue? | 20:33 |
| AsSlowAsHell | does anyone know of a good channel for discussing security strategies? I would like to talk to someone to check if my strategy for securing commuications between pre-trusted devices using AES over open ad-hoc 802.11g has flaws (most definately does, I can name a few but have ideas for fixes) | 20:33 |
| trism | Antonjo: yes, you should use the p54 modules included with the kernel instead of ndiswrapper with recent kernels, download and install linux-firmware-nonfree and linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic from packages.ubuntu.com and it should work fine | 20:33 |
| Pici | AsSlowAsHell: ##security would be a good start | 20:33 |
| AsSlowAsHell | Pici, oh wow, thank you | 20:34 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: pastebinit /proc/scsi/scsi | 20:34 |
| AsSlowAsHell | Pici, that didn't come up in my /list security haha | 20:34 |

| TeleportLisa | http://paste.ubuntu.com/683839/ | 20:34 |
| BarkingFish | trism, sorry to bother you again, but how do you use the firmware once you've installed the package? Where do I put it and so on? | 20:34 |
| fr0sted | yo all | 20:35 |
| fr0sted | :) | 20:35 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo the issue is that there is no noapic option that i can find and without it i cant use ubuntu 11.04 because it simply wont load and freezes, in ubuntu 10.10 by selecting the noapic option would make ubuntu 10.10 run nicely and not freeze during startup | 20:35 |
| BarkingFish | it looks like the nonfree package actually does have firmware which will run both of my usb wifi sticks so i can shift ndiswrapper | 20:35 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: Well, I don't know. You might reboot and see if it comes up. | 20:35 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, you can hit 'e' to edit the entries, and just add 'noapic' to the end. You don't have to have the option in 'F6' to do it. | 20:36 |
| trism | BarkingFish: it should be detected automatically and used if available (for my cards, there is a line in dmesg that will list when the firmware is detected, or missing) | 20:36 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, Just make sure you edit the option you're going to select. It doesn't do it universally. | 20:36 |
| mongy | ExtraBob, not sure on your hardware but have you tried nomodeset ? | 20:36 |
| TeleportLisa | i've tried that already. Oh well. I'll post on the support forum and see if anyone knows. Thanks though :) | 20:36 |
| BarkingFish | excellent, thank you trism | 20:36 |
| BarkingFish | I'm going to drop out and nail ndiswrapper for a moment, reboot and see whether the system picks up anything from the new firmware | 20:37 |
| BarkingFish | back in a while :) | 20:37 |
| trism | BarkingFish: good luck | 20:37 |
| BarkingFish | thanks | 20:37 |
| BarkingFish | see you in a bit | 20:37 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo i cant edit any option that is the point i cant edit the option pressing f1-f12 does nothing but gives a peeping sound | 20:37 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, You don't have to hit those. Just press 'e' while over the option you want to boot. | 20:38 |
| Antonjo | After installing linux-firmware-nonfree, do i need some modprobe xxxxx command ? | 20:38 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: It might be broke. | 20:38 |
| usr13 | Antonjo: You may need to reboot | 20:39 |
| TeleportLisa | It works fine when I switch back over to windows | 20:39 |
| trism | Antonjo: when you plug in your card the modules should be loaded automatically | 20:39 |
| Antonjo | usr13: ok | 20:39 |
| trism | Antonjo: but yeah, you should reboot if ndiswrapper is already running | 20:39 |
| Antonjo | plug before reboot? | 20:39 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfrotyo are you telling me that by pressing the letter E over and option for example try ubuntu or install ubuntu in the usb stick boot menu a window will open that allows my to select different boot options | 20:40 |
| usr13 | Antonjo: Yea, ... doesn't matter | 20:40 |
| trism | Antonjo: shouldn't matter, you may want to hold off plugging in until after you reboot so you can watch /var/log/kern.log and see the detection messages | 20:40 |
| ExtraBob | mongy what is nomodset | 20:40 |
| oCean | !nomodeset | ExtraBob | 20:41 |
| ubottu | ExtraBob: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:41 |
| mongy | ^ im too slow, yeah that lol | 20:41 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfrotyo are you telling me that by pressing the letter E over and option for example try ubuntu or install ubuntu in the usb stick boot menu a window will open that allows my to select different boot options | 20:41 |
| ExtraBob | mongy what you wrote is above my pay grade please dumb it down | 20:41 |

| mongy | ExtraBob, give it a try | 20:42 |
| ExtraBob | mongy i do not understand what you wish me to do | 20:42 |

| heat | hi, i need help on ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS. I have some trouble with motd and ssh. I can"t see motd with ssh | 20:43 |
| TeleportLisa | Another question though. It seems that my desktop keeps changing colors on its own. Sometimes my menu bars and terminal background are black, sometimes they are white. Also the icons for some applications seem to change as well. What is causing this? | 20:43 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, what happens is a text box (of sorts) will appear under it with a bunch of techie stuff. Just add 'noapic' to the very end. | 20:43 |
| === nick9892 is now known as StuBb0rn | ||
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo do you wish me to type on the keyboard and add the word by pressing down on the keyes the word noapic after a code line? | 20:44 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: What is your user name on this PC? | 20:44 |
| bastidrazor | heat: motd is run by scripts now.. located in /etc/update-motd.d/ | 20:44 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob, yes. You type it at the very end. | 20:44 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: who | 20:44 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo so you want me to select the option try ubuntu from the usb stick then press e then type in noapic and then what press enter? | 20:45 |
| heat | bastidrazor : yes i knowd i do some script all th e journey in this folder and now i can't see the result (it work with on console) | 20:45 |
| iwantfroyo | ExtraBob: You don't select it. You go down to it with the arrow keys, hit 'e' to edit, type 'noapic' at the end, and press enter. | 20:45 |
| tvaldes | usr13: Sorry, it's ivinteractive | 20:45 |
| Safe_ | Can you boot into a windows drive with a live-usb stick and move some pictures to the usb-stick, then boot into another windows drive and move the pictures toi t? | 20:46 |

| GhostWolf | hi all, i have installed samba, even configed the smb.conf file and it shows up in vista laptop, but when it pops up for username and password and i type my username and password for ubuntu it tells me login unsuccessful | 20:47 |
| Safe_ | Or rather, how would I go about saving files from a windows disk using a live usb-stick? | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | iwantfroyo, hope he remembers to do update-grub | 20:48 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: cdrecord -scanbus | pastebinit #And paste resulting URL here | 20:48 |
| iwantfroyo | BluesKaj, update-grub won't help after only doing that. You have to edit /etc/default/grub and THEN run update grub. :) | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | still editing grub | 20:49 |
| tvaldes | usr13: http://pastebin.com/nij9hys1 | 20:50 |
| GhostWolf | is there anything else im missing if im trying to get vista to reconize my ubuntu pc? i believe i did everything correctly but when i went to vista and mapping the network drive it just prompts a username and password and then tells me the username and or password is not correct | 20:50 |
| GhostWolf | btw as i also just realized, since i changed the smb.conf file should i restart samba? if so how do i go bout doing that maybe thats the problem i have? | 20:51 |
| Antonjo | trism: With live puppy, issuing lsmod |grep p54, I saw this: | 20:52 |
| Antonjo | http://pastebin.com/riyRSmaK | 20:52 |
| Antonjo | Now lsmod |grep p54 gives a blank line | 20:52 |
| rumpe1 | GhostWolf, somehow the deamon has to know, that there's a new config to read. I don't use samba, but maybe "sudo service samba restart" will do the trick. | 20:53 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: You will need to install a CD or DVD Writer before you can burn CDs | 20:53 |
| celldee | Ghostwolf: sudo service smbd restart | 20:53 |
| trism | Antonjo: can you pastebin the dmesg output when you plug in your card? | 20:53 |
| Antonjo | ok | 20:53 |
| GhostWolf | rumpe1, ok, all i know is i did it before, but in 11.04 i also remembering that there was samba in the system settings and i just did a fresh install cause i had a problem with an old hdd | 20:54 |
| BarkingFish | trism, unfortunately, the autodetection was a spectacular failure | 20:54 |
| GhostWolf | celldee, would that work if i only installed samba? meaning someone earlier just told me to do sudo apt-get install samba and nothing else | 20:54 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo pressing the keyboard letter E does nothing run ubuntu option is slected, pressing tab gives a code line int he bottom, pressing tab and then typing in the word noapic does also nothing and the thing starts to run and freezes | 20:54 |
| BarkingFish | neither of my devices were picked up, but firmware exists in the nonfree setup for both pieces of equipment. Any ideas on what I do now? | 20:55 |
| TeleportLisa | It seems that my desktop keeps changing colors on its own. Sometimes my menu bars and terminal background are black, sometimes they are white. Also the icons for some applications seem to change as well. What is causing this? | 20:55 |
| celldee | GhostWolf: You can check to see if Samba is running - sudo service smbd status | 20:55 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: Could be that your video card is overheating. | 20:55 |
| GhostWolf | celldee, ok just one second | 20:55 |
| oxseyn | Banshee just crashed on me, then continued to crash every time I attempted to start the application. I removed it and reinstalled it using apt, but it still crashes on startup. Any idea what I can do? | 20:56 |
| GhostWolf | celldee, it is, says its start/running | 20:56 |
| trism | BarkingFish: did you look at the dmesg output when plugging in your card? | 20:56 |
| BarkingFish | trism, yes, there was none. | 20:56 |
| usr13 | TeleportLisa: Maybe your PC needs a good cleaning? | 20:56 |
| celldee | GhostWolf: OK so restart it and see what happens | 20:56 |
| GhostWolf | ok celldee just did. im going to try again on vista see if it lets me connect with the username/password. i haven't set the password or username but its weird how vista asks me for it | 20:57 |
| ExtraBob | iwantfroyo pressing the keyboard letter E does nothing run ubuntu option is slected, pressing tab gives a code line int he bottom, pressing tab and then typing in the word noapic does also nothing and the thing starts to run and freezes | 20:57 |

| TeleportLisa | usr13: is there some way to check if it's overheating? and by cleaning do you mean like physically with alcohol or something, or cleaning up files and things | 20:57 |

| ChogyDan | anyone know anything about making an s-video out port work on an nvidia card? | 21:13 |
| yacc | What do I need to do when I install a new graphics card into an existing box? | 21:13 |
| Brutus- | Hi, i'm watching the fstab man. There is write 'for more documentation ... have a look at nfs(5)' . What does nfs(5) mean? | 21:14 |
| ChogyDan | yacc: is it nvidia or ati? | 21:14 |
| yacc | ChogyDan, which driver? (Nvidia offers a choice of 3: nv old opensource, nouveau new opensource, nvidia closed source) | 21:14 |
| POVaddct | Brutus-: section 5 of the manpages (man 5 nfs) | 21:14 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: You have two DVD readers, first is the Sony the other is Atapi So, which one is the DVD Writer? | 21:14 |
| ChogyDan | yacc: nvidia, closed source | 21:15 |
| tvaldes | usr13: I know they both say "CD-ROM" and not DVD-RW or whatever it is that indicates them as writers, but one definitely is a writer, and the other is not. It even pops up with "Blank DVD-ROM" and asks to write to it... Is there an easy way to figure out which is which? I'm looking into it now. I appreciate all the help! | 21:15 |
| yacc | ChogyDan, then nvidia-settings is your "tool of choice". | 21:15 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: Which one is it? The Sony? Or the other one? | 21:15 |
| POVaddct | Brutus-: manpages are divided into sections. for example, section 1 is user commmands, section 5 is config files, section 8 is admin commands. | 21:15 |
| ChogyDan | yacc: wait, are you answering my question? | 21:15 |
| yacc | ChogyDan, in my case it's one last try to make Nouveau work with my onboard 7050 nvidia, and afterwards if that does not work, a PCIe ATI Radeon will be installed. | 21:16 |
| Brutus- | POVaddct, when i write man 5 nfs on terminal says there is not man for nfs :( | 21:16 |
| yacc | ChogyDan, trying, at least by adding what I know. | 21:16 |
| ivan83 | hello people | 21:16 |
| tvaldes | usr13: I'm working on it.. The faces of the drives are void of any branding.. Just the typical DVD-RW logos. | 21:16 |
| ivan83 | :) | 21:16 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: You should be able to look at the front of the drive. One of them should say Sony | 21:16 |
| ChogyDan | yacc: well, the kernel will detect drivers automatically for all the opensource and installed stuff | 21:16 |
| hostdream | hello, is there a way to make a ubuntu mirror on a centos ? (with rsync) | 21:16 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: Well, if you don't know, I don't either. | 21:17 |
| tvaldes | usr13: It's the Sony DDU1615 | 21:17 |
| ChogyDan | yacc: I am looking at the nvidia-settings prog, but I don't see anything. Hence my need for help unfortunately :( | 21:17 |
| yacc | ChogyDan, my current happyness level with nvidia is not exactly high: nouveau relies on KMS, when the KMS noveau module gets loaded, my LCDs go into powersaving mode, and to get them back from blackness, I need to reboot. | 21:17 |
| POVaddct | Brutus-: if you want to look up some nfs specific mount options, look into man mount | 21:17 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: So the Sony is the burner. Right? | 21:17 |
| ChogyDan | yacc: try the closed source driver | 21:18 |
| yeats | Brutus-: 'sudo apt-get install nfs-common' - then you'll be able to do 'man nfs' | 21:18 |
| yacc | ChogyDan, going with nv, by disabling nouveau KMS, I end with a Xserver that uses only one LCD, and the other LCD displays nice memory dump graphics, ... | 21:18 |
| tvaldes | usr13: Sorry, jumped the gun there. NOT the sony... The other is a LiteON 20x DVD burner. | 21:18 |
| yacc | ChogyDan, and going with nvidia-173, now that's the curious one, the box started to freeze since then :( | 21:19 |
| usr13 | tvaldes: So what is it you want to put on a one? An iso? | 21:19 |

| travelton | isaac: That's probably your problem. You should setup port forwarding so that any requests that hit port 80 on your router translate to 8080 on your desktop. | 21:53 |
| LearnUbuntu | usr13, export DISPLAY=:0.0 && terminal ; The program 'terminal' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: apt-get install rsplib-tools | 21:53 |
| travelton | isaac: no problem! It's just a matter of getting that setup.. I would really caution you against setting up your desktop under DMZ. You're basically turning off your firewall for your desktop. | 21:53 |
| littlegirl | zykotick9: He's done that now. He's just wondering why it changed. Now I seem to remember the default terminal color for Ubuntu is a white background with black writing, right? That's what it changed to, so I'm thinking it went back to default as a result of the update. | 21:53 |
| usr13 | LearnUbuntu: sudo apt-get install rsplib-tools | 21:53 |
| zykotick9 | LearnUbuntu, gnome-terminal perhaps? or xterm? | 21:53 |

| LearnUbuntu | usr13, let me do that.. | 21:54 |
| zykotick9 | littlegirl, i suppose that's possible - updates shouldn't typically change "user" settings however | 21:54 |
| Bash | Is it not possible to install programs on a live usb stick? | 21:54 |
| isaac | travelton, Yeah I was planning on eventually just forwarding the ports I needed... To do the 80 to 8080 thing, do you think it'd be in Application rules? The Application Rules option is used to open single or multiple ports in your firewall when the router senses data sent to the Internet on a outgoing "Trigger" port or port range. Special Applications rules apply to all computers on your internal network. | 21:54 |
| littlegirl | zykotick9: True. Is it something he should be concerned about that the settings did change? | 21:54 |
| zykotick9 | Bash, you can install stuff - it just won't be permanent | 21:55 |

| anirban | My evince can't open djvu books. :( Any help? | 21:58 |
| zykotick9 | Bash, re:irssi - i'm not sure, where did you install irssi to? That could certainly make a difference. Persistence is not something I've used extensively, after initial testing i decided full installs to USB where more useful for me personally. | 21:58 |
| Bash | zykotick9: That sounds reasonable, was a long time ago I tinkered with ubuntu, would it suffice to use a 4gb stick if I want some smaller programs + some space for file keeping? | 21:59 |
| anirban | Nevermind, I installed the debugging symbols and it worked | 21:59 |
| Bash | zykotick9: I just used apt-get install irssi and it stayed after a reboot. | 21:59 |
| isaac | travelton, Thanks :D! I had an application rule of 80 trigger and 8080 firewall, and it was causing the site to not let me connect every other time I tried pretty much. Hopefully it was just cus it was in the dmz or something though. And thanks for the blog link :D. | 22:00 |
| travelton | isaac: Other way around... 80 should be the firewall... Right? | 22:00 |
| zykotick9 | Bash, FYI ubuntu's requirements state 5GB minimum HD space - i've done a lot of Ubuntu installs onto 4GB and have always run out of space quickly (you could of course use Minimal install media and make Ubuntu much smaller, but that's not the typical desktop anymore) | 22:00 |
| isaac | travelton, it opens the firewall port when it senses the trigger port, I think. So it's how I had it, right? | 22:01 |
| Bash | zykotick9: I wouldn't need the extras, as media players or compiz or anything, just the barebones, but if you say it's too small I will get a 16gb stick instead | 22:01 |
| travelton | isaac: Oh. That's why... Application Trigger doesn't sound right. | 22:02 |

| lsaac | zykotick9, :P | 22:08 |
| zykotick9 | LearnUbuntu, since oracle just pulled the plug on Distros being able to install Java you need to go through them to install it (if possible, I'd recommend you use OpenJDK if at all possible) | 22:08 |

| IGITIHI | Hi to al! I can' boot Ubuntu, I get "Ntp server - No such file or directory". Any help? | 22:09 |
| aj00200 | does anyone know where I can get python3-gobject for 11.04? I'd like to start work on my 11.10 apps before it is released. | 22:10 |
| LearnUbuntu | zykotick9, thank you, you are right but i used Fedora where transparency failed. So was trying to test this JNLP sample from Oracle in latest Ubuntu e.g: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/GUI/translucent_shaped_windows/ | 22:10 |
| zykotick9 | IGITIHI, NTP stops Ubuntu booting? That's hard to believe... | 22:10 |
| coraxx | What does one do, if one wants to contribute to Linux/Ubuntu with driver-development ...in this particular case USB scanner-drivers for SANE ? | 22:10 |
| aj00200 | coraxx: i'm just guessing but you might want to find the SANE website or see if they have a project on Launchpad | 22:11 |
| tomodachi | coraxx: i guess you could start by checking out who is the package maintainer for the ubuntu package, then google yourself upstream to some sources, where you can commit your code | 22:11 |
| tomodachi | at least thats why I would do | 22:11 |
| zykotick9 | LearnUbuntu, good luck. I'm one of those people that try to avoid Proprietary or non-distro based installs. I've also never had too much use for java, so little personal experinece. Hope you get it all working. | 22:11 |
| LearnUbuntu | zykotick9, no worries!! thanks | 22:12 |
| IGITIHI | zykotick9: I have no idea what ntp is but that's when the boot process stops. That's the last message I get. But I messed my system up, trying to switch from Ubuntu to LUbuntu. Any ideas? How could I repair it? | 22:13 |
| zykotick9 | IGITIHI, ntp - Network Time Protocol - it autosets the time | 22:13 |
| TAndriamirado | IGITIHI: IMO it's not ntp's fault. Maybe your root partition couldn't be mounted (or have errors), so a critical system component couldn't run. Try to start in failsafe mode, or, better: boot with a live-cd and verify your filesystems. Beware what you do ;-) | 22:14 |
| coraxx | tomodachi, aj00200 thanx both :-) .. I was looking for a way to learn how to do it (I can program of course). I wanted to know if there was like a "scanner template" that I could develop on, so I can add drivers for unsupported scanners ...by maybe reverse-engineering (I have found a beta version of a tool that can monitor the USB traffic in Microsoft Windows) ... if there is a way to... | 22:14 |
| coraxx | ...utilise that info into a driver, that would be great :-) | 22:15 |
| zykotick9 | IGITIHI, the real stopage "probably" comes right after that and you might not see it? Would be my guess. If it's just NTP i would imagine there is a timeout, and after that occured, the system would boot. Good luck. | 22:15 |
| NoReGreT | im' getting an error message after login, i have no idea to which process it belongs to, is there any way for that ? the error: http://i.imgur.com/CxIar.png [this was a mounted SDCARD, and ubuntu here is a VM] | 22:15 |
| TAndriamirado | IGITIHI: before trying to force filesystem verifications, mount the filesystem containing /var/log and see what /var/log/messages and/or /var/log/syslog says | 22:16 |
| coraxx | aj00200: I have found this in Launchpad --> https://launchpad.net/sane-backends | 22:16 |

| mmyers | Good afternoon. I have a quick question, if anyone has a few minutes to help me out. | 22:17 |
| Somelauw | Can parted deal with ext4 filesystems? | 22:17 |
| zykotick9 | Somelauw, i'm SURE | 22:18 |
| coraxx | aj00200: ...they talk of an API, which sounds VERY interesting. I just wish there were more details outthere on the web about how to create USB drivers in Linux for hardware that is not supported but you own....so you might be able to get reverse-enginering data from. | 22:18 |
| Somelauw | And vfat? | 22:18 |
| TAndriamirado | IGITIHI: BUT the 1st thing to verify is: your BIOS system date/time. It already happened to me that a faulty bios date/time caused the ext4 filesystem to not being able to be mounted, NOR repaired (which 'd be dangerous!). | 22:18 |
| zykotick9 | Somelauw, i'm NOT SURE - but Yes | 22:18 |
| NoReGreT | zykotick9: yeah i guessed that far, but why is it mounting on startup.. i can't find anything in fstab for taht.. | 22:18 |
| zykotick9 | Somelauw, FYI you've named to format types, where are somewhat independent of partitions - which parted is designed to work with. | 22:19 |
| mmyers | I'm trying to install ubuntu onto a Mac Mini. One of the previous model, not the brand new ones. When I boot to the disk, I get the purple ubuntu installer screen, and then I suddenly get booted out to a blank console with a flashing cursor before any user input can occur. The drive clicks around for a while, then goes silent, and nothing ever happens. | 22:19 |
| zykotick9 | NoReGreT, it's GNOME - not fstab related! | 22:19 |
| zykotick9 | NoReGreT, it's not startup - it's login ;) | 22:19 |
| NoReGreT | I see | 22:19 |
| NoReGreT | ah right right :) | 22:20 |
| mmyers | Anyone have any idea what's going on with that? | 22:20 |
| aj00200 | coraxx: i might be able to help you understand the process to reverse engineer something like this. | 22:20 |

| Brutus- | Hi, i created the directory /media/ZAZA. Then i typed umask 007 && touch /media/ZAZA on terminal. But when i try to enter in that dir the permission is denied. Why? | 22:21 |
| zeus_ | hi all, i still need help. in my ubuntu 11.04 desktop performance are low. Can i install KDE or do you think i'll same results? In your experience is kde faster than gnome ? | 22:21 |
| aj00200 | coraxx: first, you need a way to get the USB data. You mentioned a windows tool, you will need this. I am looking for a way to do this on linux now | 22:21 |
| tab1293 | is there any bash operator that is opposite to the "*"? so instead of listing all mp3 files like "ls *.mp3" list everything except mp3 files | 22:22 |
| aj00200 | coraxx: it appears that wireshark can capture USB data | 22:22 |
| zeus_ | tab1293: ls -l * | grep -v -e ".mp3" | 22:22 |
| coraxx | aj00200: to tool I was reffered to was this one --> http://www.wingmanteam.com/usbsnoopy/ | 22:22 |
| Brutus- | zeus_, gnome is faster than kde. Are you using Unity? | 22:23 |
| zykotick9 | Brutus-, don't try to use umask like that? umask determines the default file creation permissions for all system files (i'm not even sure you can use it on a per-folder basis - i believe that requires ACLs) - good luck | 22:23 |
| zeus_ | Brutus-: Unity and gnome seems to be the same (probably unity is a little bit slower) | 22:24 |
| aj00200 | coraxx: so, depending on how much you can understand about the protocol that is used (wireshark should help with that) you can move between windows and linux coding as you go if you don't understand something or doing a lot at once | 22:24 |
| coraxx | aj00200: yes, but If the data was already in Linux then there wouldn't be a problem ;-) .... to see the device work proberly it will have to go the MS Windows, right ? | 22:24 |
| Brutus- | zykotick9, i used umask because chmod didn't get effect. | 22:24 |
| TAndriamirado | tab1293: 'ls --hide *mp3' (man is your friend ;-))))) | 22:24 |
| aj00200 | coraxx: yes, but it always helps to have a cross-platform alternative | 22:24 |
| Brutus- | zykotick9, What can i do? | 22:24 |
| coraxx | aj00200: *go the = go through | 22:24 |
| zeus_ | tab1293: you can also use find with "!" | 22:24 |
| zykotick9 | Brutus-, you should describe (to the channel) what you WANT to do. | 22:24 |
| coraxx | aj00200: does Wireshark run in MS Windows ? | 22:25 |

| onicrom | hello peoples, anyone seen a situation with an ldap config where the root user can do username lookups, but non-root users cannot? | 22:33 |
| LearnUbuntu | zykotick9, thanks. by doing this "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-lib icedtea-plugin openjdk-6-jre-zero" the "Translucent" works without any problem. | 22:33 |
| zykotick9 | LearnUbuntu, NICE - that's good to hear actually. Big thanks for the update :) | 22:33 |
| usr13 | onicrom: What is a username lookup? | 22:33 |
| onicrom | user13 id | 22:34 |

| boba__ | is it save to resize linux home and root partitons? | 22:34 |
| zykotick9 | LearnUbuntu, if you run into any shortcoming with OpenJDK/JRE you should report them as bugs. Now more then ever, OpenJDK/JRE is important! | 22:34 |
| usr13 | boba__: I would classify it as a little risky but doable. Backup your data. | 22:35 |
| LearnUbuntu | zykotick9, i was tired with Fedora yum openJDK Translucent did not ever worked. But with Ubuntu worked like charm, i am very happy with this. | 22:35 |
| LearnUbuntu | Thanks again for the direction. | 22:35 |
| boba__ | usr13: does it make a difference if you enlarge them or shrink them... I personally want to enalrage them since I am running out of space... | 22:36 |
| zykotick9 | LearnUbuntu, may I PM you? | 22:37 |
| LearnUbuntu | Sure zykotick9 | 22:37 |
| usr13 | boba__: Shrinking is a little riskier I would say, but only because you may bump the end of the data storage area. | 22:37 |
| boba__ | usr13: thanks | 22:38 |
| Malang | how we can register our nick for freenode server use | 22:38 |
| usr13 | boba__: I would venture to say that you'll have something well in excess of a 95% success rate. | 22:39 |
| Brutus- | I followed the ubuntu tutorial to automount partitions at boot but when i digit mount -a to check if everything is ok nothing happens and partitions don't get mounted. What do i wrong? | 22:39 |
| usr13 | boba__: I would call it pretty safe, but any time you start changing the partition tables, there is a risk. | 22:39 |
| onicrom | usr13, another interesting thing, my own user is both local and in ldap, when i type 'id' i can see the gid numbers but no names, so its querying ldap | 22:39 |
| boba__ | usr13: do you by any chance know how much space virtualbox plus windows xp on it would require? I currently have only 2.7 G on my linux root partition ... virtualbox will be host on my ubuntu... and want to be able to run windows xp in it | 22:41 |
| zykotick9 | !register > Malang | 22:41 |
| ubottu | Malang, please see my private message | 22:41 |
| boba__ | usr13: on the other hand i have a dual boot with both windows and ubuntu where the windows has 12 G partition that I might delete it and give it to the linux root and home | 22:42 |
| usr13 | boba__: I'm pretty sure 2.7G is not enough. 12G or more will suffice, (i think...) | 22:44 |
| boba__ | usr13: so I should add these 12 G to the root partition right? | 22:45 |
| boba__ | usr13: the home partition is irrelelvant for the virtual box memory requirements | 22:46 |
| boba__ | usr13: ? | 22:46 |
| benzipperer | Hi: I'm looking for help getting sound out of my laptop's headphone jack. #alsa is not responding to my query. Anyone up to help or have suggestions for other forums for support? | 22:46 |
| z3ro3x | What's the easiest way to reuse an encrypted home after a fresh install? I'd rather not overwrite /home during a re-install. | 22:47 |
| supNow | benzipperer: Do your speakers work? | 22:47 |
| benzipperer | supNow: thanks. yep. internal speaker is fine. headphone jack used to work fine on 10.04. I did a fresh install of 11.04 and am having trouble with headphones only. | 22:48 |
| benzipperer | supNow: sorry, yes, the external speaker (connected to the headphone jack) works fine on another machine. | 22:48 |
| zykotick9 | benzipperer, do the headphone not work? or do they not turn the speakers off? | 22:48 |
| supNow | benzipperer: generally in a laptop the headphone jack trips the speakers off | 22:49 |
| benzipperer | zykotick9: when I plug into the headphone jack I get no output to headphones and no output to speakers. So the speaker sound is turned off. | 22:49 |
| supNow | benzipperer: have you tried other headphones? | 22:49 |
| mneptok | benzipperer: check the mixer levels and make sure the 'phones jack is not muted or low | 22:50 |
| zykotick9 | benzipperer, if the speakers turn off automatically when you plug the headphones in - you really need to check that the headphone are not muted, or turned down! | 22:50 |
| linxeh | and check that alsa hasnt done its usual trick of being utterly wacky on anything but the original developers computers | 22:50 |
| benzipperer | mneptok: that may be the problem. unforutnately I can't find any options in either alsamixer or sound preferences for headphone jack | 22:50 |
| zykotick9 | mneptok, +1 | 22:50 |
| supNow | lmao @ linxeh | 22:51 |
| linxeh | mneptok: it's likely to be called something else, like "door bell output" | 22:51 |
| benzipperer | zykotick9: how do I check the muting or levels of the headphone? | 22:51 |
| linxeh | mneptok: or "subwoofer" | 22:51 |
| supNow | rofl | 22:51 |
| mneptok | linxeh: uhhhh .... wha'? | 22:51 |
| mneptok | linxeh: please try to follow along. | 22:51 |
| supNow | right click your sound icon and click prefrences | 22:51 |
| linxeh | oops sorry wrong guy :) | 22:52 |
| benzipperer | supNow: OK. now what do I look for? | 22:52 |
| mneptok | linxeh: the person you *want* to address may be labelled "doorbell" or "subwoofer" | 22:52 |
| linxeh | mneptok: not at all, it was benzipperer. I was suggesting that most distros, ubuntu included, frequently end up with alsa devices misconfigured such that the headphones appear as the "subwoofer" output, or the "doorbell" output. | 22:53 |

| benzipperer | supNow: I also see in sound preferences -> output -> connector, an option for analog headphones.. when I select that the internal speaker turns off. I still get no output to headphones. | 22:57 |
| benzipperer | supNow: I notice if that I'm listening to the headphones while I plug them into the laptop I get a small, initial burst of sound, but then nothing. | 22:59 |
| supNow | benzipperer: I wouldn't be able to technically help furthur, but it sounds like hardware (headphones) rather than the alsa mixer being it works when the headphones are unplugged. | 22:59 |

| luc_ | does anybody know how to mount a iso | 23:15 |
| Monotoko | hey guys....there's a really nice map I've found that tracks day and night across the world live (Powered by Google) I was wondering if it was possible to make it my desktop background and still be live? | 23:16 |
| miraenvigado | <ubottu> where i can join to a xubuntu channel? | 23:16 |
| szal | miraenvigado: didn't you say further up that you want the Gnome printer admin GUI? | 23:16 |
| szal | miraenvigado: that's what I gave you | 23:16 |
| Monotoko | miraenvigado, #xubuntu | 23:16 |
| miraenvigado | <szal> you're right sorry | 23:16 |
| basso | anyone running ubuntu on a 27 inch screen? | 23:17 |
| miraenvigado | thank to all | 23:17 |
| melhuishj | michael_p, I understand, let me check for a safer solution real quick. | 23:17 |
| melhuishj | miraenvigado, it might still install, it runs on GTk after all and I believe Xubuntu does too, but I'm not positive | 23:17 |
| superlou | I'm trying to get filesharing to work between to computers running 11.04. I can navigate the shared folders in nautilus, but when I try to open them, I get Failed to open "folder_name", Failed to mount windows share. In the terminal, "smbclient //192.168.0.100/folder_name --no-pass" returns "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME". Anyone else having a similar condition? | 23:18 |
| Masken{ | Found it: http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/ | 23:19 |
| melhuishj | michael_p, try this: apt-get remove gnome gnome-utils gnome-core gnome-desktop-data gnome-desktop-environment | 23:19 |
| melhuishj | But before you do, make sure KDE is up and running | 23:19 |
| melhuishj | Because that probably will remove gnome entirely | 23:19 |
| melhuishj | On that note, why not just keep them both? | 23:20 |
| luc_ | hi can anybody tell me how to mount a iso file with gmount | 23:21 |
| miraenvigado | <melhuishj how can i know if kde is running? | 23:21 |
| melhuishj | You should be able to log out and then select KDE as your DE, if that works then you're ok. If not, you need to make sure KDE is installed before you remove gnome, otherwise you may be stuck in the lovely world of command line interface only | 23:23 |
| michael_p | thats ok i need to get use to comands mirgrating from windows | 23:25 |
| melhuishj | Yeah, but theres a difference between getting used to them and being stuck in them. If KDE is in fact installed, then you should be ok to execute the above command | 23:26 |
| AlessonZaire | Michael didn't like Unity? XD | 23:27 |
| th0r | melhuishj: you do realize that leaving both installed won't hurt anything | 23:27 |
| nCrazed | AlessonZaire for the first time in my life I wanted to punch the screen as opposed to person next to me | 23:27 |
| melhuishj | Indeed, and I suggested that earlier, but since he didn't comment on it I assum ehe intends to remove it | 23:27 |
| AlessonZaire | nCrazed excuse me? | 23:28 |
| nCrazed | [00:28:42] <AlessonZaire> Michael didn't like Unity? XD | 23:28 |
| michael_p | be back | 23:28 |
| AlessonZaire | nCrazed some people do take offense easily and/or for no reason so please feel free to punch your screen as much as you like :) | 23:28 |
| nCrazed | well, my initial impression was: "this looks nice, what's the fuss about" | 23:29 |
| nCrazed | then I tried to find window menus on a not maximized window -_- | 23:29 |
| Godzy | hi everybody | 23:30 |
| Godzy | i would have a noob question on connecting ubuntu to internet via wifi | 23:31 |
| Godzy | anyone ? | 23:31 |
| melhuishj | Yes? | 23:31 |
| Godzy | ah ok great | 23:31 |
| michael_p | ok it removed the applications but not the desktop | 23:31 |
| Godzy | so the question is pretty simple : how do you connect to wifi with ubuntu | 23:32 |
| Godzy | ? | 23:32 |
| Godzy | i configured the connection... | 23:32 |
| Godzy | but nothing happens | 23:32 |
| melhuishj | michael_p, but you can get into KDE? | 23:32 |
| melhuishj | Godzy, what do you mean by nothing happens? | 23:33 |
| yeats | !wifi | Godzy - in case it helps | 23:33 |
| ubottu | Godzy - in case it helps: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:33 |
| luc_ | hi does any body know how to mount a pc game iso with gmount | 23:33 |
| Godzy | thanks for the link | 23:34 |
| Godzy | nothing happens means : i configured the connexion, with the right adress, right wpa2 key | 23:34 |
| Godzy | and i'm not connected | 23:34 |
| michael_p | havent worked that out still reading | 23:35 |
| Godzy | i don't even know how to ask it to connect (if need be) | 23:35 |
| StevenR | Godzy: I click the little wireless icon, pick my network from the list, it prompts me for the key and that it. | 23:35 |
| melhuishj | Well, you might want to get that working...I believe apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will install everything kubuntu has... | 23:36 |
| === nick is now known as Guest87731 | ||
| melhuishj | Its much easier than trying to install KDE I think | 23:36 |

| Guest87731 | hello how do i install open office in ubuntu 10.10 i downloaded it from the webpage now how do i install it | 23:36 |
| jrib | Guest87731: don't you already have it...? | 23:37 |
| BluesKaj | melhuishj, kubuntu-desktop install default apps , not everything kubuntu has ... that's optinal | 23:37 |
| Guest87731 | jrib i went to the home page downloaded the version i want which was is swedish 64 bit debian now how do i install it | 23:37 |
| Godzy | StevenR: the thing is : i don't have any wireless or even connexion icon on the toolbar | 23:38 |
| jrib | Guest87731: why aren't you using APT? Ubuntu has openoffice in its repositories | 23:38 |
| Guest87731 | jrib i have no idea what that is, can you guide me how to get the swedish 64 bit version? | 23:38 |
| Godzy | to configure it I go in System/ Administration/ Network | 23:38 |
| jrib | !software | Guest87731 | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Guest87731: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 23:38 |
| jrib | Guest87731: read about how to use the package management system on that page | 23:39 |
| melhuishj | BlueKaj, you are right, but it was a lot easier for me to install kubuntu-desktop than regular KDE | 23:39 |
| jrib | Guest87731: you want to always use ubuntu's repositories whenever possible (like in this case) | 23:39 |
| Guest87731 | jrib i know how to click system manage add programs but not how to find this specific version | 23:39 |
| yeats | Godzy: you shouldn't have to do that - there should be an icon in the upper right that you can click | 23:39 |
| jrib | Guest87731: install open office using "add programs". There are several language packs for open office as well, just find the swedish one | 23:40 |
| Guest87731 | jrib where do i find the add programs is it in the ubuntu software ceter window? | 23:40 |
| jrib | Guest87731: yes, that | 23:41 |
| Godzy | yeats: i only have a blutooth icon there | 23:41 |
| melhuishj | michael_p, I hope you figure it out, I have to go! | 23:41 |
| Guest87731 | jrib in the software center i found open office but it installed an older us version which is not what i want | 23:41 |
| usr13 | Guest87731: There are two places, The Software Centre and the Synaptic Package Manager | 23:41 |
| jrib | Guest87731: Like I said, install the language pack for the language you want | 23:42 |
| usr13 | Guest87731: libreOffice is a replacement for OpenOffice | 23:42 |
| jrib | Guest87731: do you have your OS language set to swedish or do you want the OS in english and only OpenOffice in swedish? | 23:42 |
| usr13 | Guest87731: I recommend libreOffice | 23:42 |
| Guest87731 | jrib i want os in english which i ahve and open office in swedish | 23:42 |
| Guest87731 | usr13 i found the synaptic manager | 23:43 |
| usr13 | Guest87731: In Snaptic Package Manager you should fine libreoffice | 23:43 |
| jrib | Guest87731: then check if there is a configuration option for OpenOffice or just start it with a modified LANGUAGE environment variable | 23:43 |
| usr13 | *find not fine | 23:43 |
| jrib | usr13: is that true for 10.10 | 23:44 |
| Guest87731 | usr13 it looks very complicated and i want open opffice | 23:44 |
| Monotoko | is it possible to reload the desktop background automatically? I have an image that will be updated every 5 minutes, and I would like the desktop to also update | 23:44 |
| usr13 | Guest87731: That's fine, use OpenOffice then. They are both about the same. | 23:44 |
| Monotoko | well...reload the desktop background at all...automatically I'd just use a script for XD | 23:44 |
| Guest87731 | jrib i have no idea of what you just wrote , i know how to click and follow instructions but what you just wrote is to me the same as gurken smurken i the fudurken | 23:44 |

| Guest87731 | usr13 yes i did find that should i click to install openoffice.org-l10n-sv | 23:48 |
| michael_p | i say over 100 files | 23:49 |
| Guest87731 | usr13 is that the complete open office program or just the swedish lanugage files which by themselves are useless? | 23:49 |

| agoole22 | hi, sometimes my ubuntu stops registering click actions from my touchpad | 23:57 |
| agoole22 | how can I look into this ? | 23:57 |

| Dice-Man | Pici: how to do this ? | 23:57 |
