| Ziber | Hm, working now. Thanks. | 00:00 |
| yeats | Ziber: good | 00:01 |
| maletapfc | I have sound card integrated on motherboard. My jack where sound goes out is dead so i have to use another jack for sending sound on speakers. This works fine with realtek HD settings in Windows 7, but i don't know how to fix that in ubuntu...any idea? | 00:01 |
| i_is_broke | can i put more then 1 iso. img on a dvd? | 00:01 |
| agoole22 | does anyone know why my ubuntu suddenly stops letting me click ? | 00:02 |

| mitchell | anybody know how to scan using clamav? | 00:03 |
| th0r | mitchell: clamscan <filename> | 00:03 |
| mitchell | is there a way to scan everything? | 00:03 |
| usr13 | mitchell: scan what? | 00:03 |
| yeats | mitchell: sudo clamscan | 00:04 |
| usr13 | mitchell: What for? Are you using your PC as a fileserver? | 00:04 |
| th0r | mitchell: check the clamscan man page | 00:04 |
| usr13 | mitchell: Or are you doing this just for the protection for this one system? | 00:04 |
| usr13 | !virus | mitchell | 00:05 |
| ubottu | mitchell: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 00:05 |
| usr13 | mitchell: I think you have saddled a dead horse. | 00:06 |
| mitchell | usr13, yes as a matter of fact i am. i would like to scan all files/programs/etc for maximum protection. but i also use this for personal use. and i understand it is very hard to get a virus using linux operating systems, i just want to be on the safe side | 00:06 |
| usr13 | mitchell: Don't bother. You are safe. Linux is not victum to virus problems. | 00:06 |
| mitchell | Not only this, but I am (unfortunately) under the same partition as windows. just want to be sure | 00:07 |

| faint545 | how do i install a adobe reader plugin for firefox on ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| mitchell | user13: ok thank you | 00:09 |
| usr13 | faint545: The Software Center | 00:09 |
| faint545 | usr13, i couldnt find it | 00:09 |
| usr13 | faint545: Or synaptic package manager | 00:10 |
| faint545 | usr13, what is the pacakge name? | 00:10 |
| usr13 | faint545: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound | 00:10 |
| mitchell | faint545: just search for adobe and you will get numerous search results. but the plug in only works for mozilla firefox | 00:10 |
| Stanley00 | mitchell: are you sure? It work on chromium too, | 00:11 |
| mitchell | stanley00: did it, i though it had it pre-installed | 00:11 |
| usr13 | mitchell: I think Stanley00 is correct, it also works on chromium | 00:12 |
| mitchell | usr13: hmm did not know that | 00:12 |
| usr13 | mitchell: Well, it may be pre-installed. YOu could be right about that, not sure. | 00:12 |
| faint545 | usr13, flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound will also install a flash player? i dont want to overwrite the flash plugin i have installed for firefox | 00:13 |
| mitchell | Oh. But Stanley00, did you have to download it for it? Or no? | 00:13 |
| Stanley00 | mitchell: I just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restrict-extra and wait... | 00:14 |
| usr13 | faint545: I'm sorry, what was your original question? | 00:14 |
| Stanley00 | mitchell: or apt-get install flashplugin-installer if you just need flash plugin | 00:14 |
| mitchell | Stanley00: Oh I see. You didn`t get it from the Software Center? | 00:15 |
| michael_p | would you say 500 files for kde | 00:15 |
| usr13 | faint545: Oh I see, you want adobe reader | 00:15 |
| urlin2u | acroread | 00:15 |
| mitchell | Stanley00: yea sure i get where you`re coming from | 00:15 |
| usr13 | faint545: You will find it in The Software Centre | 00:15 |
| agoole22 | usr13: any clue to my mouse locking up ? | 00:15 |
| mitchell | agoole22: what kind of laptop? | 00:16 |
| urlin2u | agoole22, the tap pad right? | 00:16 |
| maletapfc | is there any other application except alsa mixer for setting up sound card and specifying what every jack should work. (I need to set jack for microphone to send sound on my speakers) | 00:16 |
| usr13 | faint545: sudo apt-get install adobereader-deu | 00:16 |
| agoole22 | yeah the touchpad, | 00:16 |
| agoole22 | its an acer aspire | 00:16 |
| mitchell | agoole22: assuming its a laptop | 00:16 |
| agoole22 | mitchell: yeah laptop | 00:16 |
| Stanley00 | mitchell: I think my command is just an shortcut to install flash via USC, Adobe Flash Plugin marked as intalled in USC as well. | 00:16 |
| domino14 | so i'm on an AWS instance and it seems my CPU usage has suddenly started to nearly hit 100%. But when i do a "top" i never see the processes get any higher than about 40-50% cumulatively | 00:17 |
| urlin2u | agoole22, I have a aspire one the touch[ad works fine on mine it's just cumbersome I use a mouse | 00:17 |
| mitchell | agoole22: thats why, i had an acer, it sucked. they make it to be affordable. their hardware is horrible. | 00:17 |
| agoole22 | well I never had troubles, and the pad works fine, | 00:18 |
| agoole22 | seems that sometimes it just locks up, for no reason | 00:18 |
| agoole22 | I'm thinking a package issue, maybe something broken ? | 00:18 |
| mitchell | agoole22: how old is it? | 00:18 |
| agoole22 | mitchell: 4 months | 00:18 |
| maletapfc | is there any other application except alsa mixer for setting up sound card and specifying what every jack should work. (I need to set jack for microphone to send sound on my speakers) | 00:18 |
| mitchell | agoole22: it very welll could be a package issue if it is only 4 months. have you dr | 00:19 |
| usr13 | agoole22: Does it totally lock up? | 00:19 |
| mitchell | dropped it* | 00:19 |
| agoole22 | mitchell: never dropped | 00:19 |
| agoole22 | usr13: yaeh, once it locks, its totally locked up | 00:19 |
| usr13 | agoole22: Test your ram | 00:19 |
| mitchell | agoole22: for how long? | 00:19 |
| agoole22 | usr13: I can move it, but I simply can't click on anything | 00:19 |
| usr13 | !memtest | agoole22 | 00:19 |
| urlin2u | agoole22, are you maxing the ram when this happens the aspire comes with only 1 gig ram. | 00:20 |
| agoole22 | mitchell: once it locks, until reboot, | 00:20 |
| mitchell | agoole22: for how long does it lock up for? | 00:20 |
| agoole22 | no I have 6 gigs of ram | 00:20 |
| faint545 | also, are u able to uninstall a program if you installed it with a .bin file? | 00:20 |
| agoole22 | never came close to maxing the ram | 00:20 |
| usr13 | agoole22: test your ram memtest | 00:20 |
| agoole22 | usr13: you think memtest ? | 00:20 |
| usr13 | yess | 00:20 |
| agoole22 | usr13: ok, I will check it, | 00:20 |
| agoole22 | usr13: why would the ram prevent me from clicking anything ? | 00:20 |
| usr13 | agoole22: May or may not be RAM memory problem but that is first thing I would check. | 00:21 |
| mitchell | agoole22: it could never hurt, although, ido believe it is a hardware issue, not package | 00:21 |
| faint545 | nvm. | 00:21 |
| agoole22 | ok, Ill go and do a memtest | 00:21 |

| === pyguy7 is now known as ia9371 | ||
| wildbat | !java | crankharder | 00:30 |
| ubottu | crankharder: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://goo.gl/zwOip - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 00:30 |
| Mr-smile | I have bought a new printer: Fuji xerox. How do I install on ubuntu 10.10? | 00:30 |

| [Justm3] | hey can i have some help setting up ubuntu on my new computer? i have ubuntu on my current computer, but my new one is having a LOT of problems... first, its an asus g74s. im trying ubuntu 10.10, which is what i have now. problem one: ubuntu says i have a 600x800 screen, yet it is FAR larger than that. problem two: i cannot hook up to the wireless from ubuntu, even though it is on. help please? | 00:31 |
| === ia9371 is now known as ai9371 | ||

| tab1293 | does anyone here use beets to import music? | 00:32 |
| urlin2u | [Justm3], what is the GPU, and the wireless card? | 00:32 |
| [Justm3] | also, apparently ubuntu is not accepting ANY function key actions. which is probably why it is not accepting the wireless | 00:32 |
| chrome_ | is there any extension for g chrome to download flash videos? | 00:32 |
| [Justm3] | urlin2u: how can i check GPU and the wireless card? | 00:32 |
| crankharder | wildbat: that wants to install about a thousand packages... why do I need the likes of firefox to have a java runtime? | 00:33 |
| urlin2u | [Justm3], lspci will list a lot including those. | 00:33 |
| urlin2u | [Justm3], look in additional drivers you probably need a grapgics driver to begin with. | 00:34 |
| urlin2u | graphocs | 00:34 |
| [Justm3] | urlin2u, i have a nvidia geforce gtx graphics card, if the sticker is right. | 00:34 |
| wildbat | crackharder, add-apt-repository is installed by default. | 00:34 |
| [Justm3] | i cant find which is my wifi card tho | 00:34 |
| [Justm3] | i can look it up online tho | 00:35 |
| urlin2u | [Justm3], look in additional drivers | 00:35 |
| [Justm3] | from the system toolbar? it says 'No proprietary drivers are in use on this system' | 00:36 |
| [Justm3] | oh wait | 00:36 |
| [Justm3] | didnt have the network cable plugged in | 00:36 |
| [Justm3] | nope. still blank | 00:36 |

| michael_p | is it any importance | 00:37 |
| ChogyDan | michael_p: can you boot? | 00:37 |
| urlin2u | [Justm3], it sounds like a graphic driver is needed, if your resolution is that low, I'm not a nvidia user so others can help there. | 00:38 |
| ChogyDan | [Justm3]: have you looked in the additional drivers app? | 00:39 |
| [Justm3] | yea | 00:39 |
| [Justm3] | it doesnt show ANYTHING | 00:39 |
| ChogyDan | [Justm3]: what does `sudo lshw -C video` say? | 00:40 |
| maletapfc | anyone familiar with sound cards and editing way of sound card works? (i need to set jack which should be for input to be my 'speaker out jack' any suggestion? | 00:41 |

| urlin2u | adamwbb, the installer alone does not have the ISO I just checked every ubuntu ISO has wubi on it, exceopt the minimalk. | 01:01 |
| Verto2 | Reboot, etc. I assume's been tried? | 01:01 |
| urlin2u | minimal | 01:01 |
| mssever | Verto2: The machine in question has other issues, as well. | 01:01 |
| Verto2 | Issues/ | 01:01 |
| Verto2 | er, ? | 01:01 |
| mitchell | Is there a way to remote into a computer that is using windows but on a separate network? | 01:01 |
| mssever | Verto2: Rebooting doesn't solve it, and the suggestions I found on Google haven't helped | 01:01 |
| Verto2 | Magyar: What card/drivers? | 01:01 |
| adamwbb | yes ive rebooted ive fixed mbr i tried wubi 8.10 but that killed the computer | 01:02 |
| Verto2 | What are the other issues, mssever? | 01:02 |
| magyar | Verto2: ATI 1950XTX | 01:02 |
| wildbat | !ssh | mitchell | 01:02 |
| ubottu | mitchell: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 01:02 |
| magyar | Verto2: the driver is radeon | 01:02 |
| mitchell | ubottu: ok great, i will look into it! | 01:03 |
| ubottu | mitchell: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:03 |
| mssever | Verto2: Other issues: The backlight has to be forced on via cron; when booting, the initial Acer logo screen stays up for up to a minute while the machine is unresponsive. My friend says that this is sporadic | 01:03 |
| TheMatrix3000 | any user interfaces you guys know of for dns | 01:03 |
| urlin2u | adamwbb, you want only releases 10.04 and beyond all others are end of life, get a IISO burn it to a cd and use that, you want a cd for repaiers. | 01:03 |
| adamwbb | i tryed installing from cd but it wants me to wipe xp off | 01:03 |
| Verto2 | magyar: Sorry, not familiar with ati hardware so much. :\ | 01:03 |
| Verto2 | User interface for dns? | 01:04 |
| urlin2u | adamwbb, because you don't know what your doing. | 01:04 |
| adamwbb | i have a cd of 11.04 the wubi on that doesnt work either | 01:04 |
| TheMatrix3000 | yea | 01:04 |
| urlin2u | adamwbb, are you doing this in admin? | 01:04 |
| adamwbb | yes im on administrator account right now | 01:04 |
| TheMatrix3000 | to make it easier to administer a domain | 01:05 |
| Verto2 | Poked around in the bios, mssever? | 01:05 |
| TheMatrix3000 | lol, intead of using the bind config files manually | 01:05 |
| mssever | No, I haven't. Maybe I will, but I don't have acess to the machine at the moment since my friend had to go to class | 01:05 |
| urlin2u | adamwbb, so what keeps you from dual booting wubi was designed as a try out app. | 01:05 |
| mssever | Verto2: See ^ | 01:05 |
| adamwbb | my xp partition takes up my drive i dont know how to resize a partition without formatting | 01:06 |
| Verto2 | TheMatrix3000: http://www.debianadmin.com/bind-dns-server-web-interfacefrontend-or-gui-tools.html | 01:06 |
| mssever | TheMatrix3000: Have you checked out something like webmin? I've never used it before, but maybe it can handle BIND? | 01:06 |
| supercilious | I cant get freenx working. its too cryptic | 01:06 |
| supercilious | is there any other way to get a remote desktop like experience | 01:06 |
| urlin2u | adamwbb, hao full is the HD? | 01:07 |
| urlin2u | how* | 01:07 |
| Verto2 | If something seems broken (or at least slow) during post, I'd start in the bios. | 01:07 |
| mssever | adamwbb: From the live CD, you can use GParted to resize your partition if you've got enough free space | 01:07 |
| Michael_p | i am going have to reinstall ubuntu | 01:07 |
| adamwbb | its a 320gb but only 298 can be used and thats how big the ntfs partition is | 01:08 |
| urlin2u | adamwbb, how full is that partition? | 01:08 |
| mssever | Verto2: Thanks for the suggestion. I'm wondering though whether this can be the same problem, since the slow POST occurred a while before the touchpad quit. | 01:08 |
| devcalais | So, do linux users not use iphones? I am quite attached to my iphone, but even with Wine I cannot seem to install itunes on my new Ubuntu 11.04.. | 01:08 |
| adamwbb | 244 is free | 01:08 |
| Verto2 | Is reinstall an option, mssever? Might be the fastest way to fix everything at once if you can backup anything important. | 01:09 |
| mssever | adamwbb: I recommend using GParted from the live CD to resize your partition. Then, you can create a new partition for Ubuntu | 01:09 |
| ChogyDan | devcalais: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone | 01:09 |
| urlin2u | adamwbb, as suggested if you do not have 4 primary partitions already, the XP can be shrunk and a extended, for ubuntu put in. | 01:10 |
| adamwbb | ok ill log off and switch to the cd | 01:10 |
| makarrones | ei :) | 01:10 |
| Verto2 | We've evolved beyond the need for something as primitive as a "phone," devcalais. ;) | 01:10 |
| mssever | Verto2: I'm not sure, since it isn't my machine. Of course, I'd first have to check from the live CD, which would go a long way towards determining whether this problem is hardware or software. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait on that since my tools are at home. | 01:11 |

| chris215 | i need help with clam antivirus, is anyone available? | 01:13 |
| szal | !ask | chris215 | 01:14 |
| ubottu | chris215: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:14 |
| mssever | chris215: Just ask your question and see. :) | 01:14 |
| Verto2 | clam antivirus? | 01:14 |
| chris215 | szal: following the directions from this page : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV i went to | 01:16 |
| chris215 | http://clamtk.sourceforge.net/ and downloaded it | 01:16 |
| bluebomber | When I make changes to /etc/network/interfaces, what exactly do I need to do to make the changes take effect? | 01:16 |
| chris215 | but i dont know where to extract the tar to | 01:16 |
| mssever | bluebomber: HAve you tried sudo service networking restart? | 01:17 |
| Verto2 | ifdown/up | 01:17 |
| chris215 | i already have clamav but i want to install the gui clamtk, the one from sourceforge, i just dont know where to extract the file to | 01:17 |
| szal | chris215: I think 'sudo apt-get install clamtk' would be leagues easier than that | 01:17 |
| bluebomber | mssever: I do try that, but that particular service doesn't work for me: "restart: Unknown instance: " | 01:17 |
| mssever | chris215: If there's an Ubuntu package, it'll be MUCH easier | 01:17 |
| bluebomber | I always have to /etc/init.d/networking restart it for some reason (do you know why?). | 01:18 |
| mssever | chris215: is the tarball a source package | 01:18 |
| mssever | ? | 01:18 |
| zoray | hola | 01:18 |
| chris215 | mssever: i know, but i wanted to get the more updated version, as suggested on the ubuntu help page, which told me that to do so i should go to clamtk.sourceforge.net and obtain it there | 01:19 |
| mitchell | zoray: hola que pasa? | 01:19 |
| szal | !es | zoray, mitchell | 01:19 |
| ubottu | zoray, mitchell: 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. | 01:19 |
| zoray | hola mitchell | 01:19 |
| chris215 | mssever: it's called clamtk-4.34.tar.gz | 01:19 |
| chris215 | i dont know what a source package is i am sorry | 01:20 |
| Verto2 | More important question is, what do you need av for anyway, chris215? :) | 01:20 |
| urlin2u | chris215, what are you using it for? | 01:20 |
| zoray | yo quiero habla español | 01:20 |
| szal | chris215: no idea what advantage you think you'll get from that.. the virus definitions are updated independently anyway | 01:20 |
| chris215 | i run dual boot with windows 7 and was told it would be a good idea to have it | 01:20 |
| mssever | chris215: Of course, you're free to install the raw package, but if you install stuff outside the package manager, be sure you know what you're doing or else you could end up with a messed up system | 01:20 |
| pidz | hello ubuntu! :) | 01:20 |
| mssever | chris215: clamav won't help your Windows 7 install | 01:21 |
| |NeXuS| | im going crazy im using Ubuntu 10.10 and when a video crashs a video player it loses all video playback in any app | 01:21 |
| Verto2 | Do you mount the windows partition most of the time? | 01:21 |
| mssever | chris215: for that, you need a Windows antivirus | 01:21 |
| chris215 | thats why i came here, i fugured someone here would know where you are supposed to extract the tar to | 01:21 |
| szal | mssever: clamav actually checks mostly for Windows viruses | 01:22 |
| th0r | mssever: clam IS a windows antivirus....a virus is a virus | 01:22 |
| mssever | chris215: Anyway, I'm assuming the tarball you have is a source tarball. So, you can extract it anywhere | 01:22 |
| zoray | hey i have a problem with my cam of notebook | 01:22 |
| Verto2 | I mean it's possible something could install something nasty on the win partition while running ubuntu if the win part is mounted, but.. why? | 01:22 |
| mssever | szal: th0r I meant one that runs under windows | 01:22 |
| zoray | please help me | 01:22 |
| mssever | zoray: Just ask your question | 01:22 |
| Stanley00 | zoray: can you be more specs? | 01:22 |
| th0r | mssever: no, you can use clamtk in ubuntu to scan the windows partition or folders | 01:22 |
| === simpleirc162 is now known as berlusconibest | ||
| urlin2u | chris215, bitdefender and avast have linux use AV that have the windows virus in their updates, and can be used to scan windows ,linux, and external stuff. | 01:22 |
| mssever | chris215: to extract a tarball: tar xzvf tarball_name.tar.gz | 01:23 |
| mssever | chris215: then cd to the newly-created directory and look for a README or INSTALL file with instructions | 01:24 |
| Verto2 | chris215: Just be careful, make backups of critical data, and overwrite any executable code system-wide frequently. ;) | 01:24 |
| zoray | my cam watching in internet, but no in messenger | 01:24 |
| |NeXuS| | [0x1dd1a30] xcb_xv generic debug: cannot put image: X11 error 2 = error i get in vlc when i lose video | 01:24 |
| Verto2 | Honestly, it's faster than using av. | 01:24 |
| mssever | chris215: But again, unless you know what you're doing, you shouldn't do this unless you're willing to risk a broken system | 01:24 |
| zoray | pleaqse help me | 01:25 |
| mssever | zoray: Can you give more details? | 01:25 |
| th0r | chris215: I think the repo has clamtk 4.33, that should be new enough. You would save yourself some headaches by using a deb package for install | 01:26 |
| chris215 | mssever: how do i avoid a broken system? and by broken system do you mean like it will be cool with a reinstall or like the computer is a paperweight | 01:26 |
| surskitty | how do I make the monitor shut off a minute after the screen blanks instead of however long it takes by default? using 10.10, if it matters | 01:26 |
| mssever | chris215: A reinstall would fix things | 01:26 |
| chris215 | th0r: ill give it a shot | 01:26 |
| chris215 | mssever: ok | 01:26 |
| zoray | my cam, that i have in the notebook runs on the regular network, but does not connect with messenger | 01:26 |
| Stanley00 | zoray: which messenger are you using? | 01:27 |
| zoray | i have 2 | 01:27 |
| zoray | emesene | 01:27 |
| zoray | and | 01:27 |
| pidz | I would just like to ask what is the difference between Unity and Gnome2. Most importantly, what is the function of that vertical bar on the right? | 01:27 |
| chris215 | th0r: synaptic has version 4 of clamtk? or ubuntu software center | 01:27 |
| mssever | chris215: to avoid a broken system, you have to make sure that manually-installed software stays up to date and doesn't conflict with other stuff. Using a package manager handles this automatically, but as soon as you move away from the package manager, you have to keep track of things yourself. And the package manager won't know about what you've fdone manually | 01:27 |
| zoray | emesene and aMSN | 01:28 |
| urlin2u | surskitty, screensaver time and power screnn shut off coordinate. | 01:28 |
| chris215 | while we are on that subject, what are the advantages of using the computer janitor? | 01:28 |
| chris215 | do you guys use it? | 01:28 |
| th0r | chris215: clamtk is just a frontend to clam, so the version you use isn't going to be critical. You want to keep clam updated, but the gui isn't critical. You might install that first, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can uninstall and pursue the later version | 01:28 |
| zoray | ?? | 01:28 |
| mssever | pidz: The vertical bar on the *left* is like a dock where you can launch programs and manage windows | 01:28 |
| Verto2 | pidz: Unity is a similiar concept to Aero in win7, and the bar on the left is basically a task bar with some animations and some neat features | 01:28 |
| urlin2u | chris215, none use bleachbit. | 01:29 |
| Verto2 | Or right, wherever it might be | 01:29 |
| mitchell | chris215: no i dont. I havent, i barely know what is used for | 01:29 |
| pidz | Thank you very much mssever & Verto2 | 01:29 |
| chris215 | urlin2u: bleachbit as opposed to computer janitor? | 01:29 |
| Stanley00 | zoray: please wait a minute, I haven't used that 2 before | 01:29 |
| zoray | my cam, that i have in the notebook runs on the regular network, but does not connect with messenger | 01:29 |
| zoray | i use emesene and aMSN | 01:29 |
| urlin2u | chris215, yes, computer janitor can wipe apps if you don't know how to use it. | 01:30 |
| mssever | zoray: What do you mean by "regular network"? Google Video chat? Empathy? | 01:30 |
| mitchell | Is there a defragmenter in Ubuntu? | 01:30 |
| CyberSix | anyone know the proper way to add ipv6 hosts to a users db in pure-ftpd? 'pure-pw usermod user -r [ipv6:host]' breaks | 01:30 |
| chris215 | can the mintmenu be installed in ubuntu? | 01:31 |
| zoray | no | 01:31 |
| surskitty | urlin2u: not sure what you said, but found it while looking again; thank you. | 01:31 |
| chris215 | because i really liked that | 01:31 |
| Stanley00 | mitchell: you wont need that ;) | 01:31 |
| mssever | mitchell: If there's one, it isn't well-known. At any rate, the ext filesystems don't become too fragmented | 01:31 |
| pidz | mitchell: i don't think you need to defragment ubuntu, or any linux flavor for that matter | 01:31 |
| zoray | no none | 01:31 |
| urlin2u | chris215, be careful about asking questions here in lieu of problems as a new user or ever the answers you get may be biased or just wrong. | 01:31 |
| zoray | i dont' know | 01:31 |
| |NeXuS| | is there a big dif in 9.04 to 10.04 ? | 01:31 |
| Verto2 | Depends on the fs, mitchell. But if you're using ext (the default) you really don't need to worry about it. | 01:32 |
| idlemind324 | nexus 10.04 is still supported | 01:32 |
| zoray | my notebook have a problem with procesator | 01:32 |
| mssever | |NeXuS|: There's a major user interface difference. Google it for details | 01:32 |
| |NeXuS| | i cant keep video play back working in 10.10 | 01:32 |
| mitchell | mssever:stanley00:pidz: thanks, i am just looking for ways to optimize my system because i am running windows as well on this as a dual boot and since then, i have noticedd my sytem is offly slow | 01:32 |
| berlusconibest | hi | 01:32 |
| |NeXuS| | i was thinking of back tracking maybe | 01:32 |
| urlin2u | |NeXuS|, backtrack is for geeks, and not supported here. | 01:33 |
| zoray | however, i cab use my camera web sites | 01:33 |
| mssever | mitchell: In my experience, the number one thing that slows down a linux sstem is memory issues | 01:33 |
| |NeXuS| | no back track as in try a older ubuntu hehe | 01:33 |
| zoray | but, no in the messengers | 01:33 |
| zoray | };-) | 01:34 |
| mitchell | I agree entirely, i just need to figure out a way where i can move my ubuntu data onto a separate partition so i can delete windows and not have to go thgrough and re install ubuntu | 01:34 |
| zoray | is the cam that is built into the notebook | 01:35 |
| mssever | mitchell: If you're feeling adventureous, you could use cp -a to copy your stuff across, manually fix up your new /etc/fstab, then go to a live CD and update grup to point to your new install | 01:36 |
| zoray | please help me | 01:36 |
| zoray | :,-( | 01:36 |
| mssever | mssever: But I can't guarantee success, so be sure to have backups | 01:36 |
| pidz | mssever: can mitchell just delete the windows partition and resize the ubuntu partition to occupy the whole disk? | 01:36 |
| mssever | pidz: mitchell If the goal is simply to delete Windows, that would be the easiest option | 01:37 |
| zoray | my oprative system is ubuntu | 01:37 |
| ketnos | Hey, I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on a coby netbook and the touchpad doesn't work | 01:37 |
| mitchell | I was going to try something like that, my only dillema is that my netbook doesnt have a cd drive and i havent figured out to properly format a flash disk and boot off that to use as a live cd. and i cant just delet windows first becaue i am useing wubi. otherwiwse i would have done that in a heartbeat | 01:38 |
| ketnos | anything I can do to debug that? I looked in /proc/bus/input/devices and didn't see anything | 01:38 |
| idlemind324 | so ubuntu 10.04 lts with virtualbox 4.1 ... i have an ubuntu 10.04 lts server vm running inside it captures all keys but shift + 9 "(" and shift + 0 ")" any ideas? | 01:38 |
| zoray | my cam no works | 01:38 |
| bbbbbbugggg | helo | 01:38 |
| mssever | zoray: If you want people to help you, try this: First, put everything on ONE line. Then, describe your issue in detail (in one line). Then, if someone knows how to help you, they will. Posting on multiple lines is hard to read | 01:39 |
| mitchell | zoray: probably just need an updated driver compatible with ubuntu | 01:39 |
| bbbbbbugggg | after enabling Flash's Hardware Acceleration I have a image in background from youtube video | 01:39 |
| bbbbbbugggg | how can I fix this without relogin | 01:39 |
| mssever | mitchell: From Ubuntu, use the Startup Disk Creator to make a live USB stick. Warning: It'll delete everything on your flash drive | 01:40 |
| mitchell | mssever: my last message was to you by the way (forgot to title it) XD | 01:40 |
| zoray | i am women technology that knows no | 01:40 |
| |NeXuS| | is there a big diff in 10.04 to 10.10 ? | 01:41 |

| bbbbbbugggg | zoray? | 01:43 |
| mitchell | mssever: ok i have formatted it, now what do i do? | 01:43 |
| zoray | sorry | 01:43 |
| mssever | mitchell: I haven't used Wubi, but if Wubi presents Ubuntu with what appears to be a partition, you can use dd to copy that file to a raw (unformatted) partition. Then, after mounting it and fixing fstab, you shold be good to go | 01:43 |
| |NeXuS| | yeah i did | 01:43 |
| bbbbbbugggg | zoray: what is your question? | 01:43 |

| |NeXuS| | vlc is the same | 01:44 |
| bbbbbbugggg | and graphic card drivers | 01:44 |
| mssever | mitchell: There should be an option where you can choose an ISO file and write it to the USB disk | 01:44 |

| cornell | Good evening. I use up to three computers at a time. My normal desktop workstation (ubuntu), my laptop (ubuntu/windows) and my company's laptop. I use headphones instead of speakers. I've been wanting the sound from all computers to go to the one set of headphones, but the only equipment I found is relatively fancy and expensive mixers. I just want to listen to the internet radio, and hear warning beeps and stuff from the others. | 01:58 |
| Monotoko | Pici, damn! The file it's trying to overwrite is owned by root >< sorry about that... :$ | 01:59 |
| immysl_ | how can i start a small open source project to further develop a salary system for ubuntu? | 01:59 |
| Pici | Monotoko: ah! | 02:00 |
| cornell | I had a thought. The workstation as a mic jack in the front and back. System / preferences / sound shows mic 1 and mic 2. Could I take the headphone output from the other two and plug them into the mic jacks? | 02:00 |
| Pici | Monotoko: My next step would have been to test whether you needed to set DISPLAY, but that didn't seem right to me. | 02:00 |
| Monotoko | Pici, nah...I could run the same command from the terminal...problem was I left root up after a "sudo su" earlier | 02:01 |
| afeijo | :( | 02:01 |

| cubevanbaby | hey there, I have a problem and hoping someone could help. I installed ubuntu 11.04 on an aspire revo and I have no sound. I performed all updates and no dice. anyone able to help? | 02:03 |
| cubevanbaby | I should probably also note that I went in and tried a number of configurations in the sound menu muted and unmuted as some forums suggest | 02:05 |
| pidz | cubevanbaby: i would think that you have to install proprietary drivers for your audio to work | 02:05 |
| maum | I cannot see the menubar and sidebar in ubuntu 11.04. what should I do? | 02:05 |
| immysl_ | idlemind324: it's a system that helps small scale businesses to manage the salaries of their employees. i need to further develop it though, but would like to make it an open source app. | 02:05 |
| idlemind324 | immysl_ you could place the project on sourceforge, google code or github | 02:06 |
| idlemind324 | immysl_ you would still need to promote it | 02:06 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | I got Natty recently, first time on Linux, wondering if there's any way to make the taskbar on the side auto-hide | 02:06 |
| cubevanbaby | pidz: how would I do that? I went into the hardware manager and installed proprietary hardware drivers but it only caught video | 02:06 |
| immysl_ | ah thanks for giving me some clues. :) anyway the code might not be real good cos i'm not an expert at programming yet. so it won't have a negative impact on the project right? | 02:08 |
| idlemind324 | immysl_ it's the opposite in open source | 02:08 |
| beached | hi | 02:09 |

| FroyoShark | Hi, I decided to install Ubuntu on my old Toshiba Satellite, but sound isn't working | 02:33 |
| FroyoShark | I removed Pulse and installed Alsa, but that didn't help :/ | 02:33 |
| Schala | I have some trouble regarding 11.04 install. I can't find any blank DVDs or flash drive around, but I have a previously burned copy of 10.10. Can I install 10.10 and just get 11.04 through software update, or will it not be as good? | 02:34 |
| wildgoose | FroyoShark: Run kmix from the command line and make sure your PCM isn't muted. | 02:34 |
| freshone0 | just got it on ubuntu software centre thanks a ton. | 02:34 |
| FroyoShark | gnome alternative? | 02:35 |

| Bash | I can't really find a good guide to directly install Ubuntu onto a pendrive, is it very different from having a live ubuntu on usb? | 02:41 |
| edbian | meway: to help you 'use it' the OS is already handle-ing it for you so you are 'using' it | 02:41 |
| meway | Bash: no | 02:41 |
| intmed | xangua: qin: found the package which contains add-apt-repository command it is contained in python-software-properties. But i can't install it http://pastebin.com/xi7Qh11y | 02:41 |
| meway | edbian explain? | 02:41 |
| urlin2u | Bash, a full install? | 02:41 |
| Bash | meway: Thanks. | 02:41 |
| meway | Bash: no problem | 02:42 |
| Pyro_Killer | Bash: get 2 pendrives, screw out the hdd in you computer, make it install on the usb with mbr and all, screw hdd back in, bott from pendrive when you feel like it | 02:42 |
| edbian | meway: There is some physical memory on the system. (your ram) the OS knows about this memory and creates this pretend 'virtual memory' in which is puts stuff. This helps it simply the task of making sure one program can't talk to another and programs can't read OS data. | 02:42 |
| urlin2u | Bash, a direct install if full is diferent then a live cd. | 02:42 |
| Pyro_Killer | Bash: ive done so before and i intend to do it again | 02:42 |
| JZApples | Is anyone aware of a way to have nautilus keep the folder highlighted when you move forward and backward between folders? For example if I go into a folder from a long list of other folders and then click the back button, i would like to have the folder that i just went into highlighted so i know where i was. | 02:42 |
| Bash | urlin2u: Yeah, so I can install programs etc on it, I thought the "persistant" part you choose was that but I guess I was wrong | 02:42 |
| edbian | meway: So what are you trying to do? | 02:43 |
| wildgoose | !audio > FroyoShark Have you checked here allready? | 02:43 |
| ubottu | FroyoShark, please see my private message | 02:43 |

| intmed | JZApples: yes | 02:43 |
| JZApples | intimed, please enlighten me | 02:43 |
| Bash | Pyro_Killer: You mean get a live usb on one pendrive and then install on the other one, without a hdd in ofcourse? | 02:43 |
| meway | edbian: what would increasing this virtual memory do? | 02:43 |
| FroyoShark | wildgoose, no hang on | 02:43 |
| Pyro_Killer | Bash: easiest and safest way, imo | 02:44 |
| FroyoShark | HDA ATI SB | 02:44 |
| edbian | meway: Well you see virtual memory can be bigger than physical ram. To make up this space difference the OS uses the harddrive (swap partition). Increasing virtual memory would mean you have more swap partition. | 02:44 |
| Bash | Pyro_Killer: What's the biggest difference? Sorry, a little rusty. | 02:44 |
| intmed | JZApples: i am using nautilus in fedora 15 and i have do nothing it is working for me bu default | 02:44 |
| urlin2u | Bash, the persistent is a casper-rw file that fills up and can't be emptied, if you have a thumb of 8 or more gigs and don't want it for installing a full install is a better choice in my opinion, it can be used as you h=would a HD install. | 02:44 |
| JZApples | intmed, I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and it is not. Is that a known bug I wonder... | 02:44 |
| edbian | meway: What are you trying to do? | 02:44 |
| Pyro_Killer | Bash: well, its like you installed it on a hdd, but its a pendrive, to cahnge between hdd os and pendrive os, is just a bios setting | 02:45 |
| meway | edbian make my computer perform better | 02:45 |
| wildgoose | !audio > FroyoShark | 02:45 |

| intmed | JZApples: try updating nautilus | 02:45 |
| Bash | urlin2u: So let's say that I fill my casper-rw with 4gb of stuff and I delete them, it still takes 4gb on the pendrive? | 02:45 |
| meway | edbian: for optimization | 02:45 |

| Bash | Pyro_Killer: Gotcha, just not clear about what's the advantage against using a live pendrive? | 02:45 |
| urlin2u | Bash, no you just loose all the updates your abck to the original ISO. | 02:46 |
| urlin2u | back* | 02:46 |
| wildgoose | !audio | 02:46 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 02:46 |
| squidly | I cant get the 11.04 host to connecto to the cluster with two 10.10 nodes | 02:46 |
| Bash | urlin2u: But when I reboot I still have my changes saved and programs installed? | 02:46 |
| edbian | meway: messing with virtual memory would require changing the kernel and basically having a M.S. level knowledge of O.S. optimization and an in-depth knowledge of the kernel. The easiest way for you to increase performance is to get more ram, decrease the amount of programs you're running, or get a faster processor | 02:46 |
| Bash | Irssi and my background stayed atleast. | 02:46 |
| urlin2u | Bash, not if you remove the casper-rw | 02:46 |
| Pyro_Killer | Bash: live os'es doesnt save your files, installed programs or settings, this way it does | 02:46 |
| Bash | urlin2u: Oh. | 02:46 |
| JZApples | intmed, i'm kind of new to Linux. I keep up to date with the Update Manager but I have a feeling you are asking me to do something different. | 02:46 |
| Bash | Right, thanks urlin2u and Pyro_Killer, I'm gonna tinker away and see that I can manage. :) | 02:47 |
| Bash | wat* | 02:47 |
| Pyro_Killer | Bash: good luck, and more then anything, have fun | 02:47 |
| intmed | JZApples: yes, give me some time. i am now searching for the solution on net. | 02:47 |
| urlin2u | Bash, you can have a bigger the 4 gig casper though. | 02:47 |
| urlin2u | then* | 02:48 |

| robertzaccour | my laptop has 2GB RAM and came with windows 7 64 bit. Does that mean that Ubuntu 64 bit would be recommended over 32 bit? | 02:48 |
| guser_freeware | excuse me, but i'm new to open source. how i can change my background? | 02:48 |
| urlin2u | guser_freeware, where the desktop? | 02:48 |
| robertzaccour | guser_freeware: right click | 02:48 |
| guser_freeware | urlin2u: yes | 02:48 |
| Bash | urlin2u: The mainly use for the pendrive is to help people with their destroyed windows drives and I thought it would be good to both be familiar with my setup and have the programs at hand that might be needed. | 02:49 |
| JZApples | intmed, hmmm, i tried the internets but didn't have much luck. Hopefully your kung fu is stronger. | 02:49 |
| urlin2u | guser_freeware, yeah right click change deskyop background | 02:49 |
| guser_freeware | JZApples: what means kung fu | 02:49 |
| guser_freeware | okay urlin2u i right clicked now what | 02:49 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | He's talking about his ability to computers | 02:49 |
| JZApples | guser_freeware, lol, skills to pay the bills. Leet hacker. Uhhh, guru....etc. etc. etc. | 02:50 |
| zykotick9 | robertzaccour, it's up to you. personally i run 64bit on an eeepc " 'cause it can", but in general if you have less then 4GB memory 64bit is kinda a detriment in many key areas | 02:50 |
| robertzaccour | zykotick9: detriment how? as in slower? | 02:50 |
| guser_freeware | HisRoyalFreshnes: oh | 02:50 |
| urlin2u | base_, if you have a big enough thumb you can use a multil;oad app, I have a 16 gig that has bitdefender, W7, natty, oneric, puppy, maverick and other ISO's | 02:50 |
| intmed | JZApples: try sudo apt-get update nautilus | 02:50 |
| zykotick9 | robertzaccour, it's a complicated explanation, but 64bit uses more memory compared to 32bit... | 02:50 |
| pidz | robertzaccour 64 bit allows you to take advantage of having more memory | 02:50 |
| cubevanbaby | hey me again. still trying to get the sound to work. got some help to figure out my card and found and installed the drivers then I checked every setting to test... muted and un muted no dice | 02:51 |
| robertzaccour | zykotick9: so 64 bit would be less efficient? how come the laptop came with 64 bit windows 7? | 02:51 |
| ubuntu_ | Hi | 02:51 |
| urlin2u | guser_freeware, right click choose change desktop background | 02:51 |
| JZApples | intmed, E: The update command takes no arguments | 02:51 |
| zykotick9 | robertzaccour, the actual "detriment" however, comes with the slight compatibility issues in running 32bit only programs | 02:52 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | cubevanbaby: are you getting internet sound but nothing else? | 02:52 |
| guser_freeware | urlin2u: ok, i chose one. but now it looks the same | 02:52 |
| zykotick9 | robertzaccour, it's MUCH MORE efficient if you have more the 4+ GB memory ;) | 02:52 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | Kind of like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1840020 ~ | 02:52 |
| cubevanbaby | HisRoyalFreshnes: no sound at all | 02:52 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | o damn | 02:53 |
| robertzaccour | zykotick9: is 32 bit more efficient running 2GB DDR3 RAM? | 02:53 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | You're in deeper shit than I am | 02:53 |
| qin | JZApples: inotifywait -m -r --format '%:e %f %T' --timefmt '%H:%M:%S' ~ (make sure your system is quiet, so you could see if nautilius write somwhere, try same for /tmp) | 02:53 |
| cubevanbaby | huh? | 02:53 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | Just saying | 02:53 |
| urlin2u | guser_freeware, you can also use almost any background you want like a picture you have, tinker with it I suspect your not clicking a new image if not changing. | 02:53 |
| zykotick9 | robertzaccour, in "most" areas and over all, probably yes. if you're doing encoding probably no | 02:53 |
| qin | JZApples: sudo apt-get update && sudo apr-get install --reinstall nautilus | 02:54 |
| qin | *apt | 02:54 |
| cubevanbaby | well thanks for linkage but not... like helpful thanks anyways | 02:54 |
| cubevanbaby | pidz: what we tried didnt work | 02:54 |
| guser_freeware | urlin2u: no, i DID click on a new image, but it dint load on my background of my desktop | 02:54 |
| zykotick9 | robertzaccour, 64bit is faster in certain areas, but there is more overhead in addressing big memory ranges (BUT, the fact that you can use big memory efficiently makes it the new standard) | 02:54 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | I was mainly wondering if we were having the same problems, so we could kill two birds at the same time | 02:55 |
| cubevanbaby | nope | 02:55 |
| JZApples | qin, log off and back on when it's done or do i need to restart? | 02:55 |
| guser_freeware | its the fourth time i tried this, and i NEVER get it to work | 02:55 |

| JZApples | qin, negative. | 03:00 |
| cubevanbaby | guser_freeware: yes I do know | 03:00 |
| cubevanbaby | all too well | 03:00 |
| qin | JZApples: Do they work in firefox (or any browser)? | 03:00 |
| guser_freeware | xangua: why? you dont let people speak freely in this chanel xangua? | 03:01 |
| qin | guser_freeware: /join #angry | 03:01 |
| Bash | guser_freeware: It's a support channel, not one for you to vent your anger. | 03:01 |
| somsip | guser_freeware: speak freely, but show respect o people (possibly minors) who do not want to hear expletives | 03:01 |
| urlin2u | guser_freeware, people of all ages have acces even children | 03:01 |
| JZApples | qin, The back/forward arrows work, it just doesn't highlight the folder I was previously in when going back so if I'm in a folder that has a lot of subfolders, go into a folder, and then go back, it is easy to lose my place and forget where i was. | 03:01 |
| guser_freeware | ope. my bad. sorry to any children heard me say bad words | 03:02 |
| qin | JZApples: Oh, not sure that nautilus have such feature. | 03:02 |
| guser_freeware | sincerely | 03:02 |
| organiks | hey guys | 03:02 |
| qin | JZApples: maybe, nautilus-scripts? | 03:02 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | JZApples: isn't the series up top? | 03:02 |
| JZApples | qin, bummer, that is really handy. | 03:03 |
| guser_freeware | hey can you guys please like forgive me? | 03:03 |
| organiks | my buddy installed 4 ati 5850 but can only get info on one, what is he doing wrong | 03:03 |
| JZApples | HisRoyalFreshnes, yes, that's a good point. like I said, just new to linux and Windows used to do that so it has been annoying me a lot. I'll keep that in mind. Probably get used to it in no time. | 03:03 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | I know what you mean | 03:04 |
| ksx4system | how do I force using downgraded kernel? i have traced back one nasty issue, simpliest solution will be using oldest possible Linux kernel for 11.04 | 03:04 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | I just put this on my little netbook a few days ago to free up RAM etc | 03:04 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | This system is a hassle | 03:04 |
| guser_freeware | please guys | 03:04 |
| ksx4system | of course it'll be very easy to dpkg -i *.deb but how to force this exact version? | 03:04 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | But 7 Starter was terrible to me | 03:04 |
| IdleOne | !guidelines | guser_freeware | 03:05 |
| Bash | guser_freeware: Take it easy, it's not a channel for friends, it's pretty exclusive for support. :) | 03:05 |
| qin | ksx4system: I think you can use older one via grub. | 03:05 |
| ubottu | guser_freeware: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 03:05 |
| ksx4system | HisRoyalFreshnes: win$hit starter 7 is complete crap... completely unsusable, I run Debian 6 on my netbook | 03:05 |
| cubevanbaby | there's an angry channel? | 03:05 |
| guser_freeware | cubevanbaby: no there isnt | 03:05 |
| ksx4system | qin: it's not possible in my case since I deleted just everything non-essential from the SSD | 03:06 |
| cubevanbaby | there should be win 7 is looking sweet to the completely and totally busted 11.04 | 03:06 |
| cubevanbaby | Im using | 03:07 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | ksx4system: when I found out that I couldn't even change the background, I raged | 03:07 |
| ksx4system | qin: I was thinking about Ubuntu as a temporary solution - I didn't have enough time to install full blown Debian 6 with backports kernel... and I don't have this much time now too :( | 03:07 |
| ksx4system | HisRoyalFreshnes: there's a nasty hack for that but still - it sucks | 03:08 |
| cubevanbaby | it should be fine for that nice and fast just dont try to watch anything | 03:08 |
| qin | ksx4system: Still in synaptic you will find at least 3 older versions, you can install them and pin. | 03:08 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | All I found was themes, maybe it's the same thing that you're talking about, because they sucked, ksx4system | 03:08 |
| ChogyDan | ksx4system: it looks like there are a few older kernels in the repos, just type out the full versions, not the meta package names | 03:09 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | So like | 03:09 |
| ChogyDan | ksx4system: ie sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic | 03:09 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | I have sound on YouTube but not on the system. No music, nor startup sound. Can someone please help me?~ | 03:09 |
| ksx4system | qin: downgrading to older version is not an issue for me, forcing not to upgrade from version x.y.z is | 03:09 |
| cubevanbaby | yeah roll back to 10.04 like me | 03:10 |
| cubevanbaby | fixed | 03:10 |
| guser_freeware | cubevanbaby: just try gentoo linux. its better and easier (i heard) | 03:10 |
| ChogyDan | ksx4system: for the kernel, that is as simple as removing the meta packages | 03:10 |
| cubevanbaby | its not that | 03:10 |
| cubevanbaby | 10.04 is fine | 03:10 |
| qin | ksx4system: If you pin kernel version it will be kept, in case of dist-upgrade. | 03:10 |
| guser_freeware | cubevanbaby: then you dont have a narwhal on yaur desk looking at you always all of the time | 03:11 |
| qin | !pinning > ksx4system | 03:11 |
| ubottu | ksx4system, please see my private message | 03:11 |
| ChogyDan | you don't need pinning for the kernel... | 03:11 |
| cubevanbaby | I think my life will find a way of moving on | 03:11 |
| ksx4system | cubevanbaby: too much hassle, 10.04 afair runs with 2.6.32 kernel which doesn't really support SSD disks (exactly: TRIM on ext4) | 03:11 |
| Uhriventis | Yeah, I'm trying to help my friend with a problem. Haven't been behind Ubuntu for years. He has sound on the internet and SNES but not on the system as a,whole- meaning no mp3, movies, startup sound or the like. Any ideas? | 03:12 |
| cubevanbaby | ksx4system: that is less hastle then having absolutely no sound | 03:12 |
| ksx4system | qin: thnx, if it's the same pinning I do on Debian boxes I'm at home | 03:12 |
| cubevanbaby | this is for a media pc I just need it to work | 03:13 |

| guser_freeware | i thought this was linux channel | 03:13 |
| qin | ksx4system: Since it is apt and dpkg, it is pretty much same. | 03:13 |
| ksx4system | cubevanbaby: my box randomly restarts GNOME session, it's a nightmare... x.org segfaults and nobody knows wtf is it | 03:13 |
| cubevanbaby | same nobody can figure out this sound thing for me | 03:13 |

| Uhriventis | Someone else he is here but hadn't been heard | 03:15 |
| James123 | well i need it done now, i connected an old hard drive, i wanna find out in what condition it is, to check if it has bad blocks etc... | 03:15 |
| Uhriventis | Yes | 03:15 |
| edbian | James123: use disk utility :) | 03:15 |
| IdleOne | !fsck | 03:15 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 03:15 |
| Uhriventis | I put him through all trouble shooting ideas | 03:15 |
| ChogyDan | Uhriventis: I think you need to check it when the app is actually running sound | 03:16 |
| cubevanbaby | if its ALSA pulseaudio conflict can someone link me | 03:16 |
| edbian | James123: palimpsest in a term or search for the app called 'disk utility' | 03:16 |

| Uhriventis | Okay, how would he do so | 03:16 |
| ChogyDan | cubevanbaby: I don't think alsa and pulse will conflict on a software side, only on the hardware side | 03:16 |

| xangua | zHammeRz: Guest77188 there is not root acount in ubuntu by default, if you enabled it you are by your own | 03:43 |
| rumpe1 | Guest59544, which package e.g. and why do you have to compile it manually? | 03:43 |

| Guest59544 | the what now? I've been using linux for all of...23 hours. | 03:45 |
| rumpe1 | Guest59544, "sudo apt-get install git-core" in terminal | 03:45 |
| html | whats that? | 03:45 |
| rypervenche | html: I know I know. :P | 03:45 |
| Guest77188 | but if i close the terminal it will kill it | 03:45 |

| stiltzkin | Hey, any compression experts in the house? | 03:45 |
| zHammeRz | Guest77188, did you do a su elevation? if so, still type exit to go back to regular user priv's | 03:46 |
| stiltzkin | Could really use a little insight into LZMA if anyone is around | 03:46 |
| ChogyDan | stiltzkin: Im not who you are looking for, but what is your question? | 03:46 |
| html | rypervenche, i wanting to state that its cuz of fedora that you-bunt-too got some grounding and some money to be one of the big boys | 03:47 |
| cubevanbaby | ksx4system: you still round? | 03:47 |
| Guest77188 | when i type exit it say log out but the root is still on | 03:47 |
| meway | I was messing with gparted now it takes me to the desktop login screen but when I put my user name and password in a white square box flashes and nothing happens. I'm using lubuntu *I assume the same issue for ubuntu* | 03:47 |
| rypervenche | html: State all you want, it makes no difference to me. Next subject :) | 03:48 |
| cubevanbaby | ok, well since nobody has been able to help me does anyone know of a good paid support service? | 03:48 |
| stiltzkin | ChogyDan: Yeah I might not even be in the right channel but you guys are usually pretty helpful with this kind of thing and it relates to Ubuntu - kind of. Basically I want to know if anyone knows of a parallel implementation of LZMA, particularly decompression. I have a 36GB LZMA-compressed file I need to extract, but as it stands now unlzma uses only 1 of my 8 available CPU cores to do the decompression. I want to know if there's some | 03:48 |
| cubevanbaby | no offense I understand this is out of the goodness of your hearts but spending 4 days trying to get sound to work is not my idea of novice user usability | 03:49 |
| xangua | cubevanbaby: you can get paid support from canonical | 03:49 |
| Guest77188 | so is there another solution | 03:49 |
| xangua | !attitude | cubevanbaby | 03:50 |
| ubottu | cubevanbaby: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 03:50 |
| stiltzkin | I was looking at fsarchiver, which has support for SMP compression/decompression and LZMA, but it looks like only when encapsulated in its own .fsa file format, it doesn't decompress plain archives | 03:50 |
| cubevanbaby | I covered off that this was a volunteer effort | 03:51 |
| stiltzkin | Also 7zip supposedly has support for both of those things, but only in the Windows version <_< | 03:51 |
| kwixson | Trying to set up VLC to stream my webcam on the home network. | 03:52 |
| cubevanbaby | my attitude reflects someone who is fed up because people who said they would help arent and people arent telling me they dont have answers so I asked for paid support especially since there are so many sound issues experienced by many. that is fair | 03:52 |
| ChogyDan | cubevanbaby: you are correct. You may have better luck filing a bug report, where experts might get a better fix | 03:52 |
| stiltzkin | I know this is a weird situation but if anyone knows of a solution I'd be really appreciative. And apologies if I'm too far off topic for this channel, but I am looking for something that works on Ubuntu, after all | 03:53 |
| kwixson | I'm having trouble figuring out the settings, in particular, selecting the correct device. | 03:53 |

| crash1hd | OMG why oh why did I backup lol (I backed up my main drive overtop of another drive that i swear was the empty drive :( sadly it wasnt and I ended up writing over one of my video drives all because I got a new mobo and figured that I would backup only to find out when I booted that everything was fine lol love ubuntu for that. Going to try testdisk and see if I can get the partitions back, I have a feeling that I will not be able t | 03:53 |
| crash1hd | o as I used ddrescue to do the clone | 03:53 |
| html | rypervenche, fedora is nice but the waiting for the iso is a little slow, p2p people need to seed their copys! and other distros | 03:53 |
| html | cubevanbaby, what do you need? | 03:54 |
| cubevanbaby | tnx for your attention to this I am on 11.04 with a realtek alc662 i installed the driver and tried every setting and all mutes including the speakers and I have 0 sound | 03:56 |
| html | crash1hd, well you do know about data recovery? | 03:58 |
| stiltzkin | Maybe someone can point me to a channel that might know? Just shooting in the dark here | 03:58 |
| crash1hd | html, yep and I figured it wont hurt to try but I am not expecting miracles lol :) | 03:59 |
| crash1hd | Im just kicking myself for not mounting the drive first to verifying that it was the blank drive | 04:00 |
| kwixson | Okay, so I think I mostly have the device figured out now. But when I send it to HTTP and then go to http://localhost/webcam I get server not found. | 04:00 |

| rww | Okay, so this is perhaps a stupid question, but I'm in a live session and would like to shutdown or restart. The power icon in the top-right has only Lock Screen and Suspend. Umm? | 04:16 |
| cubevanbaby | ok, clairification any online support that wont cost me as much as buying a new windows 7 cd? | 04:17 |
| IdleOne | rww: sudo shutdown now | 04:17 |
| cubevanbaby | sorry paid support | 04:17 |
| rww | IdleOne: no. Tell me a way that isn't user-unfriendly. | 04:17 |
| rww | IdleOne: or find me a bug on LP about it, my web browser is being stupid :( | 04:18 |
| IdleOne | rww: perhaps starting up system monitor and shutting down from there? (not sure you can) | 04:18 |
| IdleOne | it isn't very user friendly or discoverable but... | 04:19 |
| rww | IdleOne: nothing relevant in there :( | 04:19 |
| cubevanbaby | so... paid support anyone? cheaper than 150 bux | 04:19 |
| BlackWeb | rww sudo shutdown -h now | 04:19 |
| cubevanbaby | otherwise I should just get windows 7 :P | 04:19 |
| IdleOne | cubevanbaby: canonical.com has paid support | 04:19 |
| cubevanbaby | yes | 04:19 |
| cubevanbaby | very expensive support | 04:20 |
| rww | BlackWeb: please to read scrollback :( | 04:20 |
| IdleOne | well it's either free ( requires patience) or canonical. | 04:20 |
| cubevanbaby | if its going to cost me as much as an os that works out of the box, why would I get the thing that doesnt work? | 04:20 |
| rww | IdleOne: I'm serious about the LP bug thing, btw. It's probably easily Googleable, it's just not something I can get to :( | 04:20 |
| BlackWeb | rww so you want to restart or shutdown right | 04:20 |
| rww | BlackWeb: yes | 04:20 |
| IdleOne | rww: let me give a check. | 04:21 |
| BlackWeb | open terminal | 04:21 |
| zykotick9 | rww, can't you just logout, then use the DM to shutdown? | 04:21 |
| BlackWeb | then copy and paste "sudo shutdown -r now" | 04:21 |
| BlackWeb | that will reboot | 04:21 |
| rww | zykotick9: Is there a Logout option somewhere I'm not seeing? | 04:21 |

| rww | hrm, I wonder if... | 04:21 |
| [away] | so long | 04:21 |

| Atharva | Anyone to help ? | 04:30 |
| xhazk | @atharva Yes, you should be able to... may need to install Samba (sudo apt-get install samba4 if I recall) especially if one is Winblows. | 04:30 |
| [away] | dr_willis: so how do you "blacklist" the module when you find it? | 04:30 |
| dr_willis | Atharva: you did make some shares? | 04:30 |
| xhazk | Atharva... make sure you right click folders desired to share and designate in properties too. | 04:30 |
| Atharva | <xhazk> : Both are ubuntu.. | 04:30 |
| dr_willis | ! blacklist | 04:31 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 04:31 |
| [away] | oh nice1 | 04:31 |
| zykotick9 | Atharva, if they're both running GNU/LInux, install openssh server on one (or both) then in the Ubuntu menu Places / Connect to Server / select SSH from the dropdown and input the other computer's info. Alternatives are NFS for SAMBA. | 04:31 |
| zykotick9 | s/for/or/ | 04:32 |
| dr_willis | Atharva: learning to use ssh and sshfs is wirth the time. makes it easy to transfer files | 04:32 |
| dr_willis | samba can be a pain | 04:32 |

| Atharva | <dr_willis> : I have a shared folder on one of the computer..How to access it on other.. ? (with wifi). | 04:33 |
| dr_willis | theres more to ssh then just a remote cli. ;) | 04:33 |
| Atharva | <dr_willis> : Samba is also installed | 04:33 |
| dr_willis | Atharva: use the filemanager.. places menu item | 04:33 |

| Atharva | dr_willis : Please explain how to use the file manager..I am unable to get it. | 04:36 |
| dr_willis | i dont use lvm ;) | 04:36 |
| dr_willis | icon in panel for your files.... click on it... | 04:37 |
| amircx | so if i got 2tb hd and another 1 tb hd | 04:37 |
| dr_willis | look in places menu item... use connect to.. or network items | 04:37 |
| dr_willis | not on ubuntu so i cant be exact.. | 04:38 |
| amircx | and i want that the 2tb will be / and the 1 tb will added space to /home | 04:38 |
| amircx | is that possible without LVM? | 04:38 |
| dr_willis | amircx: trivial to do that | 04:38 |
| dr_willis | so yes amircx | 04:38 |
| amircx | how? | 04:38 |
| dr_willis | mount ither place to /home in fstab | 04:39 |
| amircx | can you give me example? | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | thats how its been done for years | 04:39 |

| zHammeRz | Apologies, figured I would take it PM since they have been working on it for a while and it would save the channel some spam..my mistake lol | 04:50 |
| cubevanbaby | I am frustrated because for the past 3 days nobody even responded to me in here | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | cubevanbaby: no its not. please stick to support. | 04:50 |
| cubevanbaby | then I ask nicely no response | 04:50 |
| rww | cubevanbaby: As you've been told, #ubuntu is for technical support. Ranting about how you're not getting any just contributes to making the channel less usable for everyone else who is also seeking support. | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | if no one knows then they dont know | 04:50 |
| cubevanbaby | but its cool for people to cuss me out tell me to install windows and $%^& myself | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | could be alsa has no supporr for the chipset. | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | could be it may just work in the next release also. | 04:52 |
| html | cubevanbaby, i here, , and i dont want you to do any of that | 04:52 |
| |Justm3| | dr_willis: but can i be assured that since wubi worked *out of the box*, 11.04 will work JUST the same *right out of the box*? | 04:52 |
| cubevanbaby | thank god, an answer | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | jystn3 it should | 04:52 |

| |Justm3| | k... | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | for my nvudia i must install the nvidia drivers to get proper res. yours may differ | 04:54 |

| dr_willis | live cd gives ma a lowres screen | 04:55 |
| |Justm3| | well, as i have no wifi access unless the drivers are there... | 04:55 |
| |Justm3| | im screwed,again... | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | deoends on the chipser | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | plug in a cable... | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | wireless depends on the chipset also | 04:56 |
| |Justm3| | ? | 04:56 |
| |Justm3| | ah | 04:56 |
| |Justm3| | well... | 04:56 |

| |Justm3| | im giving up til tomorrow... which is technically in 4 minutes, but im referring to the 16 hours from now tomorrow xD | 04:57 |
| cubevanbaby | thanks but no thanks all. after the amount of attitude Ive endured and the lame level of cussing me out that it came to, I will not be using ubuntu any longer. you guys are mean as hell jerks. I get that you do this for free but jesus christ its like you're the big bullies and I'm the stupid noob. I dont get why you guys have to be like that. | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | more ranting.. | 04:57 |

| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | i was offering suggestions but the rants overshadowwd them | 04:58 |
| |Justm3| | what is ubottu? a bot? | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | yes a bot | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | u bot u | 04:59 |
| zHammeRz | Yup so smart, I've witnessed a few people trying to have conversations with it :) | 04:59 |
| |Justm3| | oop. time to test the new distro. thanks for the help ;) | 04:59 |
| |Justm3| | bye for now... | 04:59 |

| wildbat | nomodeset ? | 05:03 |
| xuser1 | hi | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | 11.10 has improved the nvidia issues at least | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 05:04 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 05:04 |
| wildbat | [OT] dr_willis: get Swype may be :) | 05:04 |
| Valder | Could anyone help me setup a Print server? | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | andchat has issues here nit showing what i type with all keynords | 05:05 |
| ssfdre38 | how can i check how much space im using on my server? | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | Valder: cups us installed be default for that | 05:05 |
| Valder | I know, but I can't get it to work with my windows machine | 05:06 |
| Valder | nor can I get it to work over internet. | 05:06 |
| xuser1 | hi | 05:07 |
| wildbat | ssfdre38: df -h for fs level, du -h <dir> --max-depth=1 for dir level. | 05:07 |

| xuser1 | i habe an error my linux not starts http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/217/photo0135b.jpg/ please help me | 05:07 |
| urlin2u | xuser1, is this a wubi, or a dual boot? | 05:08 |
| xuser1 | is a dual boot | 05:08 |
| urlin2u | xuser1, screen shot is hard to read what orefaced this happening? | 05:09 |
| ssfdre38 | i want to see system wide how much percent wise the space im using | 05:09 |
| urlin2u | prefaced xuser1 | 05:09 |
| xuser1 | i havent other screenshot | 05:10 |
| Lasers | xuser1: First time booting linux? | 05:10 |
| xuser1 | no | 05:10 |
| Lasers | xuser1: Try using older kernel. Reboot. Hold SHIFT. Select an older version of kernel. | 05:10 |
| urlin2u | xuser1, no problem, any hints to why this might have happened or this just suddenly happened on a running setup. | 05:10 |
| xuser1 | i used my phone to do that screenshot | 05:11 |
| Valder | ssfdre38, Ttry 'df -H' | 05:11 |
| permittivity | ssfdre38 - working on an answer for you. uno momento, par favour | 05:11 |
| xuser1 | i havent any older screenshots | 05:11 |
| xuser1 | *any older kernels | 05:12 |
| xuser1 | :) | 05:12 |
| xuser1 | i havent other older kernel | 05:12 |
| urlin2u | xuser1, boot a live cd run this script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 05:12 |
| xuser1 | ok | 05:12 |
| permittivity | df -k --total | 05:12 |
| celldee | GhostWolf: Did you resolve your problem? If not, I was thinking that you could mount your Vista drive and copy the file over that way. | 05:13 |
| AlessonZaire | Hello jessie_ | 05:13 |
| ssfdre38 | Valder, thanks that worked | 05:13 |
| permittivity | you don't need the -k, though. | 05:13 |
| permittivity | just df --total will do the trick | 05:13 |
| permittivity | if you just want the final answer: | 05:13 |
| permittivity | df -k | tail -1 | 05:13 |
| Valder | no problem. What permittivity said works too. | 05:13 |
| permittivity | if you just want the percentage: df --total | awk '/total/ { print $5 }' | 05:14 |
| permittivity | that's all | 05:14 |
| permittivity | next in line, please. lol | 05:14 |
| SIFTU | permittivity: FYI --total doesnt work with nfs mounts | 05:14 |
| Valder | Help me! lol | 05:14 |
| permittivity | ah, good point. you're very right. | 05:14 |
| permittivity | hmm, you need to know it on NFS stuff, too? | 05:15 |
| Valder | I need to setup this Print server to work with windows. | 05:15 |
| permittivity | thought that was an easy question. | 05:15 |
| SIFTU | permittivity: lol I didnt ask the question.. just pointing it out.. as it will count multiple mounts to the same device | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | Valder: i just install samba. and set cups to share my printer and they work with windows. worked for years ;) | 05:16 |
| permittivity | valder. cups can be a pain but I suggest you install the cups web interface. hmm, what's the nifty little "program" called. it's really a huge help in getting cups + samba to work with windows. | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | cups web is installed by default | 05:16 |
| Valder | That's what it said at ubuntu wiki, but I look for the printer in windows and nothing.. | 05:16 |
| xuser1 | this is the result http://paste.ubuntu.com/684101/ | 05:16 |
| Valder | is the anyway to completely remove Samba? Configurations and everything? | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | Valder: enter the ip#. dont rely on samba ir host names perhaps | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | ave you tweaked samba at all Valder | 05:18 |
| permittivity | valder, sure there is, but why would you? samba runs out of a config file. | 05:18 |
| jessie_ | AlessonZaire: Hello. What's up? | 05:18 |
| Valder | Yes. I was file sharing. I think that's where I messed it up. | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | check smb.conf to be sure printers are shared perhaps | 05:18 |
| permittivity | valder: ok. let me give you a helping hand. uno momento,senor | 05:18 |
| Valder | Si! | 05:19 |
| AlessonZaire | jessie_ nothing special, just greeting :D | 05:19 |
| permittivity | valder: i'm assumign you can use the command line? | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | user made shares shouldent affect cups at all | 05:19 |
| Valder | Yes. | 05:19 |
| Valder | I'm using ssh right now to connect to the server. | 05:19 |
| davidwinter62 | trying to download and install testdisk | 05:20 |
| AlessonZaire | It happened that I switched here the moment you were logging in haha | 05:20 |
| Valder | and Willis, I'm not sure, but I think I just messed with something in the config that doesn't make it work. | 05:20 |
| davidwinter62 | I down loaded everything but dont know how to launch | 05:20 |
| permittivity | valder: can you give us the output of the following, please don't paste anything self identifiable: | 05:20 |
| permittivity | grep -v ^# /etc/samba/smb.conf | grep -v ^$ | 05:20 |
| Valder | Because it was working (sharing a folder) then it stopped. | 05:21 |
| imadam | Hello everyone, would anyone be able to help me? | 05:21 |
| urlin2u | imadam, ask a question and we will see | 05:21 |
| xuser1 | urlin2u: any idea http://paste.ubuntu.com/684101/ ? | 05:21 |
| davidwinter62 | can anyone help me get testdisk up and running | 05:21 |
| REK_007 | Windows doesn't boot from GRUB2 menu . It gives an error that partition not found ... any solutions? | 05:22 |
| imadam | Thanks! When trying to install ubuntu 11.04 via disk onto my desktop I got a few days ago I get an error. | 05:22 |
| imadam | A message comes up saying: The instaler encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 5] input/output error. - This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk.... | 05:22 |
| imadam | Any advice? | 05:22 |
| Valder | give me a sec. | 05:22 |
| xuser1 | no windows works | 05:22 |
| xuser1 | is a grub problem? | 05:23 |
| permittivity | REK: you realize the answer you're going to get from us, right? lol | 05:23 |
| davidwinter62 | I think I'm in the wrong chat room. Can someone help me connect to a room that can help a newbie | 05:23 |
| REK_007 | yeah xuser1 | 05:23 |
| REK_007 | permittivity: what do you mean by that :S | 05:23 |
| permittivity | lol. remove windows, then you dont' have to worry about booting to it. lol | 05:23 |
| dr_willis | imadam: make new cd. verify its md5. | 05:24 |
| urlin2u | xuser1, it looks good try reloading grub to the mbr it looks like it should boot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 | 05:24 |
| REK_007 | well i need it for certain purpose as well :/ | 05:24 |
| xangua | davidwinter62: sudo apt-get install testdisk | 05:24 |
| xuser1 | so , does windows create this problem? | 05:24 |
| Stanley00 | davidwinter62: what's exactly does you need then? using ubuntu? | 05:24 |
| imadam | dr_willis: so you think it may just be an issue with the CD? | 05:24 |
| AlessonZaire | davidwinter62 you're in the right place, just explain your problem, if someone knows the answer, they'll let you know | 05:24 |
| urlin2u | xuser1, the script shows it should be booting I see know cause. | 05:24 |
| imadam | I was able to get linux mint up and running, so its not a hard drive issue? | 05:24 |
| dr_willis | imadam: or the hd.... like the message said | 05:25 |
| REK_007 | xuser1: it doesnt boot at all i changed the UUID and did test disk | 05:25 |
| permittivity | valder: still alive over there? | 05:25 |
| REK_007 | but nothing fixes it | 05:25 |
| dr_willis | hds can die at ANY time | 05:25 |
| urlin2u | imadam, can you paste bin a screen shot opf gparted? | 05:26 |
| zHammeRz | imadam, are you installing it from cd or dvd? If so, try burning the image again using a slower speed, such as 4x. you might have just got a bad burn. | 05:26 |
| imadam | How can I run a check to verify its md5? | 05:26 |
| xuser1 | im not sure is a hhd problem windows works | 05:26 |
| Stanley00 | imadam: run md5sum <yourfile> | 05:26 |
| urlin2u | !md5sum | imadam | 05:26 |
| ubottu | imadam: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 05:26 |
| imadam | Its a DVD-R CD. | 05:26 |
| zHammeRz | I would try burning it again at a slower speed and then try to re-install | 05:26 |
| zHammeRz | and what ubott said :) | 05:27 |
| REK_007 | xuser1: the windows is good . It works but it present on another physical drive . So I think GRUB has some problem recognizing the HDD | 05:27 |
| imadam | Thanks guys, going to try the lower speed and see what happens. I had an older linix mint version on a CD I was able to install onto the desktop, so doesn't look like an HD issue. | 05:27 |
| xuser1 | windows and linux are on same hdd | 05:28 |
| REK_007 | no | 05:28 |
| REK_007 | different HDD | 05:28 |
| REK_007 | one is on ssd other on hdd | 05:28 |
| urlin2u | xuser1, yeah, do you want to try just reloading the mbr? | 05:28 |
| xuser1 | REK_007: win is on c (dev/.sda1) an linux on |dev/sda 3 | 05:28 |
| permittivity | REK: are you sure that linux loaded grub to the hard drive that the bios uses to boot from? | 05:29 |
| urlin2u | xuser1, sorry your talking to another. | 05:29 |
| REK_007 | permittivity: yes | 05:29 |
| REK_007 | xuser1: yeah i get that ... but cant fix it :( | 05:29 |
| imadam | How do I load up terminal in 11.04? I'm a noob and been running 10. somthing for a looong time. | 05:29 |
| jeffrey_ | Is there any easy way add the Google Calendar to Ubuntu? Every tutorial I look at points me to software that doesn't seem to exist anymore.... | 05:30 |
| zHammeRz | imadam, when you get 11 loaded up, just press the windows key, then in the search type terminal, then click :) | 05:30 |
| Lasers | imadam: Search for it in Applications "Terminal" | 05:30 |
| urlin2u | REK_007, run this script from a live cd and pastebin the RESULTS.txt http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 05:30 |
| imadam | Lasers: Oh wow, thanks. Works a treat. Looks like I have alot to learn. | 05:31 |
| xuser1 | urlin2u: how do i reload the mbr? | 05:31 |
| Lasers | imadam: Good luck. :) | 05:31 |
| imadam | Thanks guys. | 05:31 |
| Lasers | imadam: You never stopped learning in linux. | 05:31 |
| zHammeRz | Truth! | 05:31 |
| REK_007 | GRUB stull says no such device no such partition | 05:32 |
| imadam | Thats very true. The main reason while I'll never change back to Windows. | 05:32 |
| urlin2u | xuser1, I posted the grub2 linl | 05:33 |
| imadam | I'm on my works computer (sadly they run windows) is InfraRecorder any good when it comes to burning disks? | 05:33 |
| urlin2u | !grub | xuser1 | 05:33 |
| ubottu | xuser1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 05:33 |
| urlin2u | imadam, works great | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | imadam: its great. Remember to burn as slowly as possible | 05:34 |
| imadam | slow and steady wins the race (to awesome Ubuntu-ness) | 05:34 |
| xuser1 | i need install grub 2? | 05:34 |
| earthshade | Can anyone recommend a company that builds computers with ubuntu preinstalled? | 05:34 |
| urlin2u | imadam, that's the scuttlebutt.:D | 05:35 |
| earthshade | Or a few? :P | 05:35 |
| OJ_Simpson | Sup | 05:35 |
| earthshade | No one^??? | 05:35 |
| Lasers | !sup | OJ_Simpson | 05:35 |
| Valder | Okay! | 05:36 |
| zHammeRz | earthshade, dell used too, not sure if they still do | 05:36 |
| Lasers | OJ_Simpson: Nevermind. How're you? What do you need help with? Spit out. :) | 05:36 |
| Valder | I got it! lol | 05:36 |
| urlin2u | earthshade, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPre-installed | 05:36 |
| OJ_Simpson | <-- Kubuntu 11.04 | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: www.Linuxpreloaded.com | 05:36 |
| Valder | http://pastebin.com/VCQiNBKS | 05:36 |
| earthshade | zHammeRz: I dont think so | 05:36 |
| earthshade | Thx urlin2u and ActionParsnip ill check it out | 05:36 |
| zHammeRz | I know they did for a while, they may have abandoned it..check the other links :) | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Or just home build :-) | 05:38 |
| jeffrey_ | even when they did, Dell only installed it on their most underpowered computers, it seemed...... | 05:38 |
| OJ_Simpson | I installed the Full Kubuntu package and it broke my Nvidia video driver, so After removing the package video driver still broke, then I did a clean install with the same /home and still no Nvidia driver | 05:38 |
| zHammeRz | jeffrey_, yea I did notice that. | 05:38 |
| urlin2u | OJ_Simpson, you have to install it sounds like | 05:39 |
| earthshade | urlin2u ans ActionParsnip thanks! An the only company i had checked out before was system76, but everything seemed wayyyyy overpriced | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | sounds like kubuntu did not break the driver | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | OJ_Simpson: did you try: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 05:39 |
| tewea | i am server administrator and the server is in another room and i would like to acess remotly using vncviewer but this one is not compfortable becaouse i must be enter to server room and in order to make allow and also iam using putty but this one is fine but this is also i coudnt acess the graphical like vnc viewer is there any body to help me? | 05:39 |
| imadam | Not that big of a market for Ubuntu. Couldn't you always buy a desktop from Dell running no OS and install ubuntu yourself? | 05:40 |
| OJ_Simpson | I installed the video driver directly from Nvidia the first time, after the clean install I tried to install the driver from the restricted driver section but neither of them will activate | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | tewea: vnc is very insecure. What distro / OS does the server run? | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | tewea: use vncserver not the built in gnome remote desktop vnc. no need to go to ther room then | 05:41 |
| earthshade | imadam: you can buy computers without operating systems?!?!?!? | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | earthshade: of course | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: sure | 05:42 |
| zHammeRz | earthshade, or just build your own..plenty of howTO guilds on the 'net on how to build one from scratch. | 05:42 |
| OJ_Simpson | imadam bare bones baby | 05:42 |
| tewea | ActionParsnip:ubuntu serevr 8.4 | 05:42 |
| zHammeRz | howto GUIDES I mean :) | 05:42 |
| imadam | earthshade, you sure can. I contacted Dell last year asking if they could do it and they said sure. | 05:42 |
| imadam | You pay over the odds for a new computer running windows. | 05:42 |
| earthshade | Sorry, ios multitasking fail there | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | tewea: so why do you need more than ssh? I hope you didn't install a desktop on it | 05:43 |
| Valder | Dr.Willis. Here are my Samba config files. | 05:43 |
| earthshade | zHammeRz: I want a laptop though so thats gonna be a bit tougher | 05:43 |
| Valder | http://pastebin.com/VCQiNBKS | 05:43 |
| OJ_Simpson | sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found | 05:43 |
| earthshade | And also if you do buy a computer without an OS how do you know if it will be compatible | 05:44 |
| earthshade | With ubuntu | 05:44 |
| ActionParsnip | earthshade: tough yes but some companies give the option | 05:44 |
| nodex | ubuntu is kinda compatable with ever pc | 05:44 |
| nodex | every | 05:44 |
| urlin2u | earthshade, http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ | 05:45 |
| Valder | Almost every. | 05:45 |
| html | there s a list of part on ubunutu .com that tells you, and ask people, earthshade | 05:45 |
| ActionParsnip | OJ_Simpson: its there when you install an nvidia driver via the repos | 05:45 |
| tewea | ActionParsnip:i would like to acess remotly like fro example to show me all the application on the server like the terminal it self and run another graphical application? | 05:45 |
| html | earthshade, what do you have in mind? to build? | 05:45 |
| imadam | nodex, disagree. I installed ubuntu onto my laptop a while back and pretty messed up my wireless card. | 05:45 |
| earthshade | Im dual booting ubuntu on my old pc now and there are a lot of compatibility issues, thats why im wondering | 05:45 |
| earthshade | html: A laptop, without being specific at all | 05:46 |
| OJ_Simpson | pop the live cd in and if can connect to the internet install simple done | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | tewea: ssh can do that for the most part. | 05:46 |
| OJ_Simpson | @ActionParsnip reinstalling driver now I'll let you know what happens when I reboot | 05:47 |
| dr_willis | ssh -x remotepc run gedit.. it appears locally. running on remote | 05:47 |
| Valder | How can I reset Samba to default configurations? | 05:47 |
| html | earthshade, if its unity based then brace your self for a fight , to get it to work , unless you find the rare gups that dont have much of one | 05:47 |
| tewea | dr_willis:but ssh can only brings me the file not all application | 05:47 |
| dr_willis | Valder: that config looks very default to me exept for the one share | 05:48 |
| earthshade | Html: you lost me there :P | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | tewea: rephrase that. it made no sense | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tewea: there are web ui possiblities but the more services you add to be connected to, the less security you will have. There are guides for VNCing to headless systems around the web if you really want. I'd look into ebox too, see if it suits your needs | 05:48 |
| html | earthshade, if its unity based then brace your self for a fight , to get it to work , unless .. | 05:48 |
| Valder | Then why do you believe my Windows pc won't connect? What port does Samba use or does it even use any? | 05:48 |
| earthshade | If what is unity based? Unity based? | 05:48 |
| zHammeRz | Nothing wrong with Unity | 05:48 |
| earthshade | Im so lost | 05:49 |
| earthshade | <<<<ubuntu noob | 05:49 |
| ActionParsnip | tewea: you can connect to ssh with x forwarding allowed, and run gui apps. Any windows systems will | 05:49 |
| Valder | Unity is GUI which isthe bar you see on the top. | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | Valder: 631 for cups.. and it may not be a samba issue. but a cups onw. can you access that minecraft share? | 05:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Need to run xming but the app will show on the desktop | 05:50 |
| Valder | No, I can't | 05:50 |
| earthshade | Valder: ah, so what do i need to fight if something is unity based? | 05:50 |
| html | earthshade, then your going to do like 3x and up more work just tring to !) find one that works (gpu) or go with something thats going to give you hell | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | Valder: try to access it via ip. not server name | 05:50 |
| Valder | Depends on how old your computer is. | 05:50 |
| earthshade | FIND ONE WHAT?!?!? | 05:50 |
| Valder | dr_willis, I'll try. | 05:50 |

| imadam | What is a good IRC client for linux? | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | tewea: ssh -x foo | 05:51 |
| Valder | I tried \\192.168.1.X and nothing | 05:51 |
| zHammeRz | imadam, I use XChat | 05:51 |
| earthshade | imadam: Xchat | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | Valder: can you ping the box? | 05:51 |
| imadam | Thanks guys, going to download Xchat. I haven't been on IRC for years. | 05:52 |
| Valder | That, I can do | 05:52 |
| pidz | xchat all the way | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | check firewall Valder is all i can suggest | 05:52 |
| wildbat | tewea: ssh -X foo | 05:52 |
| tewea | dr_willis:but it says Could not resolve hostname foo: Name or service not known? | 05:52 |
| Valder | ufw allow smbd? | 05:52 |
| wildbat | tewea: ssh -X <hostname> | 05:52 |
| SIFTU | tewea: dr_willis note it is "ssh -X foo" not -x which actually disables X forwarding | 05:53 |
| dr_willis | tewea: think a bit... foo is an example name..;) | 05:53 |
| jOZe | yalha! | 05:53 |
| TehAndrewRyan | hey all | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | tewea: in putty there is a tickbox. You will need to install xming then run it, so the apps have an x server to stick to. The app runs on server but displays on the client. Its not a million miles from Citrix | 05:53 |
| TehAndrewRyan | how comes i have to force all of my CPU-cores to run at the desired speed? i'm getting lag in games otherwise | 05:53 |
| dr_willis | i make x forarding the default ;) | 05:53 |
| html | zHammeRz, kinda, if you can get it too work, fine, but if your a person wanting a gpu that works well with unity , AND for those speed demonds /muliti-taskers, compiz,3d effects and a few other in conjunktion , | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | tewea: i suggest: ssh -X -C user@host | 05:54 |
| OJ_Simpson | Ok so I reinstalled the nvidia driver from repository and now it says it's active but not in use | 05:54 |
| Valder | dr_willis, will ufw allow smbd allow samba throw the firewall? | 05:54 |
| dr_willis | local lan can use -Y i recall | 05:54 |
| zHammeRz | html, I seem to have plenty of speed. I just use a nvidia 8800gts 320mb .. the only issue i have is when moving windows around it pauses..haven't been successful at turning off the 'show windows contents while dragging' option (B/c I can't find it) :) | 05:55 |
| zHammeRz | Other than that issue, I love Unity and the way it flows | 05:55 |
| dr_willis | Valder: i dont yse a firewall at all. normally | 05:55 |

| magn3ts | what is the difference between "emacs32" and "emacs-snapshot" | 06:02 |
| Valder | I got it working. | 06:02 |
| imadam | is 2.6x a good speed to burn ubuntu onto a disk? | 06:04 |
| susundberg | sure? | 06:05 |
| imadam | Someone on here told me to try burning slower. | 06:05 |
| zHammeRz | yea, few of us did :) | 06:05 |
| susundberg | Well if you had problems with similar setup then yes | 06:06 |
| zHammeRz | I just burn dvd's at 4x | 06:06 |
| OJ_Simpson | So can anyone figure this one out http://pastebin.com/e4PCqXra | 06:06 |
| tewea | ActionParsnip:were do i install xming? | 06:06 |
| imadam | What about write method? Is session-at-once (SAO) ok? | 06:06 |
| zHammeRz | I leave those at default | 06:07 |
| imadam | Shall just leave it at default and try the lower speed. | 06:07 |
| urlin2u | imadam, just write as image | 06:08 |
| susundberg | OJ_Simpson: add Driver line to Default Device section ? | 06:08 |
| infid | anyone know why google chrome's Developer Tools refuse to let me edit javascript dynamically? I click and double-click on javascript in the 'Scripts' tab like i'm supposed to and nothing ever happens. I've tried it in ubuntu 10.04 LTS on 3 different machines using different versions of chrome, including the 14.x beta and 15.x developer channel versions. | 06:08 |
| fus10nx1 | Is there an easy way to have Ubuntu 'watch' a piece of software that crashes very rarely and automatically restart it if it stops running? Furthermore, is it an easy task | 06:08 |
| infid | yet somehow it works in my 13.0 chrome install on windows 7 :| | 06:08 |
| susundberg | OJ_Simpson: afaik googling the error seems like the generated xorg.conf does not contain device line since that is not compulsory, but nvidia-xconf requires such | 06:09 |
| urlin2u | imadam, you kept saying the HD is okay are you familiar with the limit of partition types on a sigle HD? | 06:09 |
| susundberg | fus10nx1: run it manually from terminal | 06:09 |
| fus10nx1 | susundberg: what good will that do ? | 06:10 |
| imadam | urlin2u, has no partition. Not running any OS what so ever, bare bone :) | 06:10 |
| OJ_Simpson | Like I said before I previously installed the driver directly from Nvidia | 06:10 |
| fus10nx1 | and that seems like a bad solution for when the machine reobots | 06:10 |
| susundberg | fus10nx1: i guess you can also attach to the process with gdb | 06:10 |
| urlin2u | imadam, cool | 06:10 |
| susundberg | fus10nx1: yes that is for debugging only -- what did you want to do and why? | 06:10 |
| fus10nx1 | i have a piece of VPN based software and every so often (very rarely) it'll crash | 06:11 |
| fus10nx1 | and i have to manually go in and restart it | 06:11 |
| fus10nx1 | its rare, but when it happens my alert system sends hundreds of alerts since none of the machines can talk to teh main server | 06:11 |
| fus10nx1 | think nagios | 06:11 |
| wildbat | fus10nx1: you can have a script with endless loops with the command of the app in it . (given it is not a daemon). | 06:11 |
| fus10nx1 | isnt there a way to just have ubuntu 'watch' it and if it goes down, try to start it again | 06:11 |
| frank | hi, I'm having trouble in 11.04 with sloppy and incredible slow window resizing. I have a nvidia gtx460 and the latest closed source drivers installed. | 06:12 |

| DaVamps | good morning all..is this the place to get some help | 07:46 |
| asdjaputra | DaVamps: yes | 07:46 |
| asdjaputra | for ubuntu | 07:46 |
| honey | iam using ubuntu 10.04 and i coudnt find fastest downloader is ther any file and vidieo downloader exept flashgote? | 07:47 |
| DaVamps | good. I need to figure out how to switch from the launcher back to the standard menu in ubuntu 11.04 | 07:47 |
| pratz | hey guys how can i get the network connection window through a command ?? | 07:47 |
| JadedJacob | This maybe a silly question but does ubuntu install faster in 'text mode' or once the live cd environment has loaded | 07:47 |
| JadedJacob | Cancel that lol | 07:48 |
| somsip | DaVamps: Logout. On the login screen at the bottom there will be a dropdown to choose your session. Choose Classic Gnome | 07:48 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps, you want the classic desktop? | 07:48 |
| pratz | how can i get the network manger window through command ?? | 07:49 |
| pratz | i am using gnome | 07:49 |
| html | google it, its on the forms | 07:49 |
| DaVamps | somsip : ahh so with 11.04 it almost presets the windows managers | 07:49 |
| bullgard4_ | DaVamps: Log out and Log in until you have keyed in your username. Then at the bottom there will appear a menu. Select "GNOME Classic'. | 07:49 |
| somsip | DaVamps: Just defaults to Unity, 'tis all. But no more Classic after 11.10 | 07:49 |
| Johnny_Giggles | is there a program that allow me to securely write over a USB stick multiple times? Like Disk Utility for OS X does | 07:49 |
| honey | please tell me if there is fatset download menager for ubuntu 10.10 | 07:49 |
| html | network manger window commandline,pratz | 07:50 |
| asdjaputra | honey: for torrents or regular files? | 07:50 |
| DaVamps | somsip : why is that.. | 07:50 |
| asdjaputra | honey: any will do, use wget or firefox downloader | 07:50 |
| somsip | DaVamps: <shrugs> Executive decisions I guess | 07:50 |
| pratz | html: command to show up the network manager applet | 07:50 |
| honey | asdjaputra:is that for all format | 07:51 |
| honey | ? | 07:51 |
| DaVamps | somsip : figures.. i know progress is a good thing.. but so is a solid working foundation. lol | 07:51 |
| somsip | DaVamps: Unity is not for m either, but many people like it, so UTT | 07:51 |
| asdjaputra | honey: yes, it's a command line downloader, but there's a GUI representation of wget too | 07:51 |
| rumpe1 | Johnny_Giggles, nowadays, this method is not more secure than simple wiping with just one iteration | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Johnny_Giggles: dd will do that for you, or shred (if I remember correctly) | 07:51 |
| honey | asdjaputra:i need the graphical | 07:52 |
| DaVamps | somsip : yea.. i'm sure i will get used to it.. and eventually figure it out.. but until then... classic is best :D | 07:52 |
| somsip | DaVamps: as long as you find something thatworks for you. Plenty of other options too | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Johnny_Giggles: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/en/man1/shred.1.html | 07:52 |
| DaVamps | somsip yea.. i'll have to look in to others as well.. | 07:52 |

| Johnny_Giggles | ActionParsnip: thanks for the info | 07:54 |
| honey | asdjaputra:yeah i download it it is front end of wget | 07:54 |
| Johnny_Giggles | looks pretty good | 07:54 |
| Johnny_Giggles | ActionParsnip: and it's installed by default! | 07:55 |

| Starminn | Running Ubuntu 10.10 whenever my computer becomes idle it becomes unresponsive. I'll wiggle the mouse as if to bring it back, but nothing works, so I have to restart X (CTRL+ALT+Backspace) to get it to work again. Ideas? | 07:55 |
| DaVamps | SomSip : bless you , thanks for the help, wasnt totally sure how to do that and its perfect now :D | 07:55 |
| somsip | DaVamps: your welcome. PS: Openbox is popular for users who prefer standard-style menus | 07:56 |
| asdjaputra | honey: use youtube-dl for youtube vids, also command line | 07:56 |
| DaVamps | Somsip : by standard do you mean that look more like Windoez or that style? | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Johnny_Giggles: yeah, cool | 07:57 |
| somsip | DaVamps: Well, if the Classic option goes with 11.10, maybe you would prefer an alternative. Openbox is one. There are many others | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: what video chip do you use? | 07:57 |
| DaVamps | Somsip : thanks for the suggestion, i will look in to it. | 07:58 |

| DaVamps | monitors** | 08:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: ok then run: sudo lshw -C display to see the driver you are using, see if there are any bugs reported for your release, for that chip using the driver you are using | 08:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: is it a laptop or a desktop? | 08:01 |
| somsip | DaVamps: Never tried it so I can't help. I do see discussions about dual-head on here so maybe someone els can chime in. I'll leave it to them | 08:01 |
| asdjaputra | honey: and there's a youtube-dl-gui for GUI in python | 08:01 |
| IamTrying | I tried to install auto+vnc server but failed, here is my attempts e.g: https://gist.github.com/1200009 | 08:01 |
| DaVamps | somsip : totally understandable | 08:01 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: Deskto | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | DaVamps: sure, nvidia-settings can let you configure 2 seperate X servers on each display easily | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: does it have a make and model or is it a home build? | 08:01 |
| honey | asdjaputra: id ownload it both of them but the youtube-dl how can i use it? | 08:02 |
| asdjaputra | honey: gwget and youtube-dl-gui? | 08:02 |
| DaVamps | ActionParsnip : that would make the that the 2 monitors display an extended desktop setting? | 08:02 |
| IamTrying | Do i have to disable SELinux? | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | DaVamps: Makes sense, I'd say so | 08:03 |
| honey | asdjaputra: yes gwget and youtube-dl | 08:03 |

| ubottu | khaliG: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 08:31 |

| khaliG | ActionParsnip, i see! i've been using the classic look on my desktop forever, but i recently installed the latest on a laptop and found it strange and unusable | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | khaliG: you may need to jump to XFCE / LXDE / KDE then | 08:32 |
| Untouchab1e | ActionParsnip: the one I linked to has 3.1.9 | 08:32 |
| Untouchab1e | but we shall see :) thanks again | 08:32 |
| Untouchab1e | bbl | 08:32 |

| ActionParsnip | Untouchab1e: you get the idea ;) | 08:33 |
| ben_stein | i am connected now using wvdial, everything is working except evolution and chat, the items in the envelope menu in the top right corner | 08:33 |
| auronandace | khaliG: if you don't like gnome3 or unity then I'd highly recomend xfce | 08:33 |
| khaliG | asdjaputra, lol but i hate it, and no i never will! :) | 08:33 |
| ben_stein | so does evolution only recognize connections from teh connection manager? | 08:33 |
| ben_stein | the | 08:33 |
| asdjaputra | khaliG, i tried another distro to avoid it (Deb) but it looks so cool i can't resist to use it :D | 08:33 |
| asdjaputra | khaliG, as ActionParsnip said, jump to another DE/WM | 08:34 |
| khaliG | asdjaputra, i guess its just familiarity | 08:34 |
| khaliG | i'd rather not, i like classic - it seems to be fine now | 08:34 |
| asdjaputra | khaliG, yep, it's still in development state btw, so do expect bugs | 08:34 |
| khaliG | asdjaputra, the new look is? | 08:34 |
| ben_stein | khaliG at first i hated the new interface, but once i got used to it i love it | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | khaliG: when Natty is EOL you will need to use a different DE or use the Unity stuffs | 08:35 |
| asdjaputra | khaliG, yes | 08:35 |
| asdjaputra | in 11.10 it'll be far more better | 08:35 |
| auronandace | khaliG: gnome2 won't be around from 11.10 onwards | 08:35 |
| khaliG | oh man, the whole reason i switched to the default look from years of using blackbox etc was because i just wanted to use the default - thing is the default now just plain sucks | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | asdjaputra: works fine here ;) | 08:35 |
| asdjaputra | i wrote a review in Muktware (for Dash only though) | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ben_stein: is evolution in offline mode? | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | auronandace: there is a 3rd party fork of gnome2 called 'mate' | 08:36 |
| khaliG | so now i might have to go back to blackbox lol | 08:36 |
| asdjaputra | ActionParsnip, yes, on some computers | 08:36 |
| asdjaputra | khaliG, fluxbox :) | 08:36 |
| auronandace | ActionParsnip: yeah I saw that in the arch forums, thanks | 08:36 |
| khaliG | asdjaputra, i wanted to get away from all that tinkering :/ | 08:37 |
| asdjaputra | anyway this is getting a bit ot | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | auronandace: so it will 'be around' then? | 08:37 |
| Kevin___ | actionparsnip may u PM me please | 08:37 |
| asdjaputra | khaliG, in blackbox or unity? | 08:37 |
| auronandace | ActionParsnip: not as gnome2 (and I doubt mate will be ready in time to be supported by the next ubuntu release) | 08:38 |
| ben_stein | ActionParsnip, no, it wont find an internet connection unless the connection was done through the network manager, but i need to connect using wvdial at the moment, which is working fine for everything except evolution and gtalk | 08:38 |
| khaliG | asdjaputra, blackbox, I used to waste too much time setting up keybindings and refining them - so forced myself to switch to vanilla ubuntu years back | 08:38 |

| Vampy | Action : in term i run sudo apt-get install gthread and returns unable to locate package | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Vampy: all the deps for metacity are in the repos | 09:12 |
| devcalais | 64bit 11.04 compared to 32bit uses an entirely different kernel, yeah? There is no 'upgrade' option between the two? I just got mailed a 64bit copy, installed 32bit because I was impatient.. | 09:12 |
| Vampy | Action : so then ./configure then make then make check then make install should work? | 09:13 |
| somsip | devcalais: I did find a very long and complicated method to switch from 32 to 64, but I just installed 64 on a separate partition and built it up from there | 09:13 |
| bahamas | bartmon: from what i understand here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/728746 , the issue would be that i'm missing some files. however, those files are present in my case | 09:14 |

| Vampy | Action : or would i be better off to sudo apt-get install metacity-<vers> | 09:14 |
| dagon666 | bahamas: because bashrc is ment to configure your current tty/pty not to grant/deny access globally to the x server. Of course it will work but it is dirty | 09:14 |
| asdjaputra | oCean, why ban? | 09:16 |

| bahamas | dagon666: doesn't xorg have a config file where you can do this? | 09:18 |
| bartmon | bahamas: yes, that was fixed during 11.04 development, before the release in april. I would personally try the method outlined in the last comment - blacklist the default driver (module) and go with b43 & fwcutter. It works really stably on my debian server | 09:20 |
| JadedJacob | What's a good text partition program for ubuntu? | 09:20 |
| robinduckett | cut? | 09:20 |
| rww | fdisk? | 09:21 |
| asdjaputra | parted | 09:21 |
| bahamas | did bartmon go anywhere? my client doesn't show jons and parts | 09:21 |
| JadedJacob | there is another one, but i can't think of the name... | 09:21 |
| bahamas | anyway, i did use b43 and fwcutter. that's how i got the wireless to work in the first place | 09:21 |
| robinduckett | bartmon is not here | 09:22 |
| robinduckett | !seen bartmon | 09:22 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 09:23 |
| robinduckett | hm | 09:23 |
| robinduckett | .seen bartmon | 09:23 |
| bahamas | yeah, he probably parted | 09:23 |
| robinduckett | no? | 09:23 |
| robinduckett | really? in a channel with who knows how many people in, no one has left a default seen script on? | 09:23 |
| taky | anyone familiar with ip-forwarding? | 09:24 |
| asdjaputra | bartmon left | 09:24 |
| asdjaputra | taky, in router? | 09:24 |
| taky | asdjaputra: would like to make it so one of my servers can utilize ips from another server | 09:25 |
| taky | so, both external ips | 09:25 |
| asdjaputra | sorry can't help on networking :( | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | taky: in routers, yes | 09:25 |
| Zol | If I try "ssh -l git github" and I connect as the git user on another server, where could the config file be that sets this? In my ~/.ssh I have a config file that just specifies the port to use for a specific hostname | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | taky: you'll need to setup port forwarding | 09:25 |
| Vampy | Taky : or an VPN | 09:26 |
| taky | ok, i've enabled forwarding of ipv4 via /etc/sysctl.conf | 09:27 |
| taky | i tried adding a rule to /etc/network/interfaces but it didn't work properly, and i'm unsure of the commands i have to run on the other box to utilize the ip | 09:27 |
| taky | brb guys, going to grab some coffee, appreciate the help btw | 09:29 |
| asdjaputra | ah caffeine :) | 09:29 |
| chip_rider | hello I've installed ubuntu 11.04 and after booting into ubuntu I am getting errors such as: "Bad LUN (0:1) Bad Target Number (1:0)" etc. and with an ATI radeon HD 6490m. What might be the problem? google and such returns no results. Thanks. | 09:30 |
| taky | ok i'm back | 09:31 |
| jadahl | chip_rider: how are these errors presented to you? | 09:32 |
| taky | so anyone have experience in forwarding an ip address from one machine to another? | 09:32 |
| JadedJacob | Is Ext4 a solid file system now? | 09:33 |
| chip_rider | jadahl, on boot ubuntu in recovery mode. | 09:33 |
| JadedJacob | I remember reading the ubuntuforums about ext4 having a few bugs. | 09:33 |
| Vampy | any filesystem has bugs | 09:34 |
| chip_rider | if I edit the boot string and change "ro ...." with "ro radeon.modeset=0 ..." then the system don't puts this errors but freezes on the next step "Skip stopping firewall: ufw (not enabled)" | 09:35 |
| help_fast | hi, i cant reinstall wubi, it just bring me the choice to read more about my last xubuntu installation, or restart the computer. Any hints? I manually deleted c:\ubuntu and c:\wubins* stuff | 09:37 |

| bahamas | i have another issue. sometimes (only twice so far) the music that is played when ubuntu starts loops forever. has anyone encountered this? | 09:40 |
| asdjaputra | bahamas, can you quit it? killall canberra-gtk-play | 09:40 |
| asdjaputra | bahamas, and you could disable it on Startup Apps | 09:40 |
| tuxybuzz | join | 09:41 |
| asdjaputra | i do hate it when the volume got turned up automatically to 100% and it plays the music | 09:41 |
| bahamas | asdjaputra: well, it's not playing now, so i can't try. i don't mind the music, i just don't want that loop from happening | 09:42 |
| bahamas | or if i can find a way to fix it, that's even better | 09:42 |
| asdjaputra | bahamas, canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" | 09:42 |
| AkuUsagi | hello, i would like to know how to deactivate the splash screen on ubuntu 11.04 and get my old verbose bootscreen back. | 09:42 |
| ne2k | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/166005 I followed the instructions in comment 1 to fix my sound not working after upgrading to natty. I have now just rebooted after a recent upgrade and sound is not working again -- because I have 2.6.38-10 modules and not 2.6.38-11 modules. | 09:43 |
| ne2k | looking at the package info for linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.38-11-generic_2.6.38-11.201108241605_amd64.deb it says "You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-alsa-driver-modules-natty-generic meta-package", (which would presumably keep the modules in step with the kernel), but this package is not in my apt-cache list. any idea why? | 09:44 |
| bahamas | i love it when people say something and then they leave | 09:45 |
| bahamas | without saying that they're leaving | 09:45 |
| Zuhaitz | Yes, * is just in /dev/sda6 | 09:48 |

| maalac | reseting bios password on HP ProBook 6555b. I know there is like a binary or something to do this ..i forgot the password ..need to update bios ..LAN is not working on battery mode | 09:49 |
| ne2k | maalac: there is usually a hardware way to reset the bios, involving jumpers or combinations of keys at power on. consult your manufacturer | 09:49 |
| maalac | tried removing the battery ..didn't work ..i don't see any jumpers on it .. | 09:50 |
| ne2k | maalac: jumpers will be on the motherboard | 09:51 |
| ne2k | maalac: you mean you removed the bios battery on the motherboard? | 09:51 |
| maalac | yes, and i tried looking for the jumpers i don't see any .. | 09:51 |
| ne2k | maalac: there may be a capacitor too, which you would either have to wait to empty or short out to drain it | 09:52 |
| ne2k | maalac: but, like I said, consult the manufacturer for specific instructions | 09:52 |
| hostdream | hello, I'm doing an automated ubuntu deployment and I've a problem during the automated install; I've one step where it ask me "Write the changes to disks ?" and have to click yes... how can I avoid this ? I'm installing 10.04 | 09:52 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Hi folks. | 09:54 |
| coolforyou | hi guys | 09:54 |
| coolforyou | i am new to linux | 09:54 |
| maalac | ne2k: thanks. i was just assuming that somebody here already know .. | 09:54 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, welcome | 09:54 |
| pato | I'm trying to install ubuntu at a "hp EliteBook 8540w" with a nvidia "Quadro FX 1800M". The liveCD crashes when starting Xorg. I've had some trouble with openSuSE 11.4 until I've installed Nvidia-drivers. My concern is that the card is too new for "nv" or "noveau" drivers. How can I enforce the liveCD to use vesa or alike? | 09:54 |
| coolforyou | thank ou koshie | 09:54 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Np | 09:54 |
| coolforyou | :) | 09:55 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, it's a big community with a lot of nice people. And bad too. :D | 09:55 |
| koshieFinalReliz | But Ubuntu is perfect for new user. | 09:55 |
| coolforyou | is it good idea to practice ubuntu linux in VMware ? | 09:55 |
| idefix | what happens if you type 'ftp &' in a terminal? is it started somewhere invisibly and you can reuse the terminal? | 09:55 |
| jrib | pato: there may be some way but I would just use the alternate install cd instead | 09:55 |
| jrib | !alternate | pato | 09:55 |
| ubottu | pato: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 09:55 |
| bahamas | idefix: the process will run in the background | 09:55 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, why not. You've Wubi too. It's is just to try it it's good. But for every day I don't think so. | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | pato: add the boot option: blacklist.nouveau=1 | 09:56 |
| jrib | idefix: 'fg' should bring it back to the foreground | 09:56 |
| bahamas | idefix: so yes, you can continue to type in the terminal | 09:56 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Wubi install Ubuntu IN windows, like a software. So it's not the best way to use Ubuntu :) | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | pato: you will then use the nv driver which should work ok | 09:56 |
| apa__ | anyone, is there some option in wubi, which forces the reinstallation? | 09:56 |
| idefix | jrib is there a way to resend it back to the background? | 09:56 |
| coolforyou | kos, i just wanted to practice the linux command and instaling driver s , so is VM ware is good option for me | 09:56 |
| jrib | idefix: ctrl-z and then 'bg' | 09:56 |
| robinduckett | idefix: probably best to use screen | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | apa__: you can uninstall it, then reinstall it | 09:56 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, not good for driver :D | 09:57 |
| robinduckett | apa__: uninstall reinstall | 09:57 |
| idefix | robinduckett? what do you mean with that? | 09:57 |
| coolforyou | ook ok bro , | 09:57 |
| robinduckett | ftp is an ftp client right? | 09:57 |
| koshieFinalReliz | VM simulate a computer, for Ubuntu that's not your computer, but an other, simulate by vm | 09:57 |
| robinduckett | why would you want to background it? | 09:57 |
| coolforyou | so what can i learn through VMware kos :) | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | coolforyou: vmware is great as a testing bed but the hardware is virtualized so you sidestep a lot of driver issues | 09:57 |
| midhuno | help me i cant play vdos on xmbc | 09:57 |
| Guest42033 | How to join Yahoo chat room on ubuntu | 09:57 |
| jnsl_ | I cant get Medibuntu repo to appear on natty, anyone had similar problem? | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !info xbmc | 09:57 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, you can test a lot of thing on Ubuntu :) | 09:57 |
| ubottu | Package xbmc does not exist in natty | 09:57 |
| robinduckett | Guest42033: seriously? | 09:57 |
| robinduckett | xbox media center | 09:58 |
| Guest42033 | Yes | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | midhuno: i'd ask in the xbmc channel | 09:58 |
| robinduckett | Guest42033: turn your computer off and go outside | 09:58 |
| pato | OK, guys (jrib, ActionParsnip), thanks a lot. I'll try the blacklist.noveau=1 right now. If it fails, I'll try the alternate. | 09:58 |
| robinduckett | Guest42033: find a pretty girl and make a connection | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest42033: there is empathy and pidgin which can do it, or you can install gyache | 09:58 |
| apa__ | if i try to run wubi, it does not allow me to install, it just gives me options to read more, or restart. I had wubi installation but i removed the c:\ubuntu and c:\wubins* stuff, and now i cant reinstall it.. | 09:58 |
| coolforyou | ok that fien Action and kos . so it is impossible to practice driver s installation in VMware right ? | 09:58 |
| AwwwCrap | I'm having a heck of a time trying to configure custom settings in xorg.conf for my joystick. I'm trying to customize the button layout so it is useful for XBMC, but no matter what I do, it just does the default layout. Help? Plz?? | 09:59 |
| midhuno | i hav problems in using public wifi networks in ubuntu | 09:59 |
| koshieFinalReliz | You don't have to install by yourself a driver on Ubuntu, just in some case. | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | apa__: this page has how to manually uninstall: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 09:59 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, | 09:59 |
| midhuno | what 2 do? | 09:59 |
| apa__ | ActionParsnip: i have done the manual uninstall, it didnt help | 09:59 |
| coolforyou | thas fine kos .:) | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | AwwwCrap: does it work in other apps | 09:59 |
| koshieFinalReliz | In most popular case your hardware are supported by Ubuntu with free driver, if it's not, you've proprietary, sometimes better | 09:59 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Like for gamers. | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | apa__: that page is all I know of wubi. | 10:00 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, In my case I've never a problem, I'm using Intezl ^^ | 10:00 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Intel FTW | 10:00 |
| AwwwCrap | ActionParsnip: it works fine as far as games and emulators go, and it moves the mouse around, but the layout is horrible and I'd like to change it | 10:00 |
| apa__ | ActionParsnip: ok.. i have used wubi couple times, but now i cant get it to work.. | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | AwwwCrap: then I'd ask in the xbmc channel | 10:00 |
| coolforyou | kos , actually i was tying to learn red hat linux , but i felt ubuntu will be good to start | 10:00 |
| AwwwCrap | ActionParsnip: its a xorg problem, not an xbmc problem | 10:01 |
| AwwwCrap | but I'll give it a shot anyway | 10:01 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, RHEL ?! | 10:01 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Or CentOS ? | 10:01 |
| koshieFinalReliz | RHEL are for entreprise, and it's not free of cost. | 10:01 |
| coolforyou | yes kos RHEL or centos | 10:01 |
| koshieFinalReliz | ^^ | 10:01 |
| koshieFinalReliz | CentOS are the same distribution with a name and a different logo, but completly free of cost. | 10:01 |
| knightstalker | Hey,wiki.ubuntu.com doesn't load up in chrome and loads up in firefox,and that was the same for a long time now,and in every ubuntu installation I had,any ideas? | 10:02 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, Ubuntu / Debian have somes difference with RHEL / CentOS :) | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | AwwwCrap: if the joystick works in emulators and such then its an xbmc config, surely? | 10:02 |
| knightstalker | koshieFinalReliz,you can always try Fedora | 10:02 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, My advice : Try Ubuntu if you really want to use it everyday, it's free, simple, powerfull. | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | koshieFinalReliz: it is, you just won't get support | 10:02 |
| coolforyou | yes kos . many told me debian is best for server | 10:02 |
| knightstalker | Its free,but its a kind of test place for RHEL | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | koshieFinalReliz: you can run RHL, maybe not RHEL ;) | 10:03 |
| koshieFinalReliz | knightstalker, it's good too, but a little bit updated for a new user. | 10:03 |
| koshieFinalReliz | RHL exist ? :o | 10:03 |
| knightstalker | koshieFinalReliz,yup :p | 10:03 |
| koshieFinalReliz | That's not RHEL | 10:03 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, yes, better than Ubuntu IMHO | 10:03 |
| koshieFinalReliz | But Ubuntu can make a good server :) | 10:03 |
| coolforyou | yes action , i completly agree with you . i will not use RHEL and RHL . but will give a try to debian and centos | 10:03 |
| knightstalker | Ubuntu LTS can make a good server =) | 10:03 |
| knightstalker | so,no idea on my question? | 10:03 |
| hostdream | even I'm using the http://pastie.org/2496275 as partition table in my preseed, I've the box asking me for the confirmation to apply disk layout, how can I avoid this ? | 10:04 |
| ne2k | sorry, I left for a few minutes to try a reboot. did anyone reply about my alsa issue? I have repeated the fix for 2.6.38-11 but I still have no sound | 10:04 |
| coolforyou | but i am comple noob in linux . so i wanted to start with ubuntu , it is good idea ? | 10:04 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, Maybe we can speak in private ? Some people here seems to needs help and for you know it's just some details. | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | coolforyou: yes, a lot of stuff is managed for you | 10:04 |
| knightstalker | coolforyou,for a new user,Ubuntu is best | 10:04 |
| koshieFinalReliz | knightstalker, not in all case, you've Mandriva / Mageïa :) | 10:05 |
| coolforyou | thats fine action , knight and kos | 10:05 |
| koshieFinalReliz | coolforyou, you can complete automatically nickname, try kos and tab touch | 10:05 |
| dr_willis | !tab | 10:06 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 10:06 |
| snufft | hi guys | 10:06 |
| koshieFinalReliz | dr_willis, :) | 10:06 |
| hostdream | even I'm using the http://pastie.org/2496275 as partition table in my preseed, I've the box asking me for the confirmation to write change to disk, how can I avoid this ? Can anyone help on this ? :) | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | tab key is our friend | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | tab rules | 10:06 |
| snufft | anyone got a min to spare helping me setup my local webserver? apache is going (haven't figured out vhosts yet tho), phpmyadmin is running fine, as is mysql. the only thing left are creating vhosts and editing hosts file, then setting write permission on my var/www folder so i can actually edit it without sudo-ing all the time. | 10:08 |

| Strav | Hi. I'm experiencing several troubles with unity's launchers so I'm wondering (haven't check launchpad yet but these problems are so obvious I can't believe they still apply): 1. If I search for an application and drag it to the launcher's bar, sometimes it works, sometimes it don't (more especially if I decided to remove and the place again the application in the launcher). 2. when a new launcher is added, sometimes new instances of | 10:31 |
| Strav | the application are bound to the launcher, sometimes they are not (hence, duplicated). 3. If I manually edit a .desktop, it automatically gets removed from the launcher (even if I do something as simple as change the icon path). | 10:31 |
| Strav | Is there any accessible config file I can check to see why everything is so messed up with my unity? | 10:32 |

| taia | a friend of mine recently asked me a question, he said he has a alfa awus036h wireless modem that is connected via USB interface, he said he can't use it, I googled it and everyone says ubuntu recognize that modem fine,,,,,what should i tell him? :D | 10:36 |
| vibhav | taia could be a driver issue | 10:36 |
| daParall4x | Anyone know a good programming/coding IRC channel> | 10:36 |
| daParall4x | ? | 10:36 |
| robinduckett | daParall4x: depends what kind of coding | 10:37 |
| Strav | taia: that there's a place called google.com | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | taia: run: lsusb use the 8 character hex ID to find guides? | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | daParall4x: ##C | 10:37 |
| taia | vibhav, I told him so, I even asked him to patch the driver into kernel, but still no response! | 10:37 |
| vibhav | !google | strav | 10:37 |
| ubottu | strav: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 10:37 |
| oCean | daParall4x: there is the ##programming channel | 10:38 |
| daParall4x | but it says i need to get registered? | 10:38 |

| daParall4x | sorry im new to irc | 10:38 |
| daParall4x | okay, thanks. | 10:38 |
| Strav | vibhav: nah it's just that the guy said "he can't use it" while it's being recognized as a supported device. | 10:38 |
| === daParall4x is now known as Parall4x | ||
| sveinse | When writing a package, how does a package request a reboot of the system? I often see kernel updates which gives a red icon in gnome telling me to reboot due to an upgrade | 10:40 |
| Strav | ah. If there was a programming channel where it'll be possible to casually discuss of one's idea... that'll be ideal. Unfortunately no such thing exists. | 10:41 |
| taia | in fact, the device has a confusing process of use in Windows! they should use integrated wireless modem in the laptop to find available network, then using an application called IBSDriver, the connection gets transferred to this external modem!!! this process seems rediculous in ubunu | 10:41 |

| ActionParsnip | sveinse: the reboot insn't mandatory, it's just wanting to make you reboot to load the nwe kernel. Or do you have a package you are creating and want to add that feature? | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | taia: suprised it connects via usb, most use ethernet which is much more graceful | 10:42 |
| jpds | sveinse: Look at the source for the kernel package? | 10:42 |
| taia | ActionParsnip, yeah, but this one is using USB :P I hate it when it comes to USB issues too :P | 10:43 |

| mouse | I'm running firefox and I can't get it to open .rar files with my archive manager by default or even optionally. I've added file-roller manually but it only seems to be temporary since it still won't let the archive manager be an option in the drop down menu. Does anyone have experience with this? | 10:44 |
| solofight | help needed people when i try to update my system using sudo apt-get install update i get this error http://pastebin.com/jZsS8gCA | 10:45 |
| solofight | searched in ubuntu forums and they have said to delete the file and again update | 10:45 |
| daParall4x | registered | 10:45 |
| daParall4x | thanks | 10:45 |
| solofight | did the same by doing an rm on that file | 10:45 |
| solofight | and again tried to update | 10:45 |
| === Guest81298 is now known as jasef | ||
| solofight | it results in the same error | 10:45 |
| solofight | dont know how else to proceed | 10:45 |
| mouse | Use punctuation marks instead of enter. | 10:46 |
| Strav | Can anyone tell why, in some cases, new applications instances aren't bound to their launchers in unity on 11.04? | 10:46 |
| solofight | mouse, sorry will do | 10:47 |
| glebihan | solofight, first thing the command "sudo apt-get install update" will never work, it should be either "sudo apt-get update" or "sudo apt-get install packagename" | 10:47 |
| glebihan | solofight, so what does "sudo apt-get update" say ? | 10:49 |
| solofight | glebihan, yeah mistake | 10:49 |
| solofight | glebihan, http://pastebin.com/jZsS8gCA | 10:49 |
| Strav | is there some .desktop entry I'm missing? | 10:49 |
| TheRandom | Hi, typing 'apt-get install lynx' for example tells me how large the install is etc etc when I tell it to go ahead it gives me 'Something wicked happened resolving 'gb...'' errors? Internet connection is fine. | 10:49 |
| glebihan | solofight, that's the same command, could you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update" (will probably be the same, but may be better to check anyway) | 10:50 |
| solofight | glebihan, the same error even when i correct the command | 10:50 |
| Strav | TheRandom: try a ping on the repository that gives you the resolving error. Then if it works, try to access it's packages directory from your browser. | 10:51 |
| TheRandom | ping'ing google gives an unknown host error. | 10:51 |
| TheRandom | I've ssh'd into it so I can't use the browser | 10:51 |
| solofight | glebihan, i read a post which said to remove the entire directory and try again so did this http://pastebin.com/imnLz4WY | 10:52 |
| solofight | but no good, eneded up with error | 10:52 |
| solofight | ended* | 10:52 |
| Strav | TheRandom: just by chance: what does ifconfig gives you for 127.0.0.1? | 10:52 |
| Strav | TheRandom: (do you have the lo interface enabled?) | 10:52 |
| TheRandom | error fetching interface information: device not found | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? | 10:53 |
| TheRandom | Strav, unsure | 10:53 |
| Strav | TheRandom: that's your problem. | 10:53 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, I can | 10:53 |
| glebihan | solofight, try "sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*" then "sudo apt-get update" again | 10:53 |
| Strav | TheRandom: try: sudo ifconfig lo up | 10:53 |
| TheRandom | Strav, the network adaptor isn't being picked up? | 10:53 |
| TheRandom | strav, ran it, no output. | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: http://pastebin.com/pY1h7LNY | 10:54 |
| Strav | there's no output usually, but then ifconfig to see if it came back up | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: then if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf delete ALL text and add the line: nameserver 8.8.8.8 save the new file and close gedit, does the web work ok? | 10:54 |
| solofight | ActionParsnip, i need to execute all of those one by one ? | 10:54 |
| TheRandom | Several lines explaining network adaptors | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: yes | 10:55 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, there was no text in the file, I've added the line. | 10:55 |
| TheRandom | Pinging google has found a host, and responds :) | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: should be ok, usually that file gets updated by network manager tpe apps (like network-manager and wicd) | 10:56 |
| TheRandom | apt-get install runs. | 10:56 |
| Onlyodin | Should hope so, that's google's DNS ;) | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: cool, do you use GUI network apps? | 10:56 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, no, not knowingly. | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Onlyodin: I only use it because its easy to remember | 10:56 |
| TheRandom | Onlyodin, I realised after searching :P | 10:56 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, so as I understand what occured. My nameserver wasn't available to the server? | 10:56 |
| Antrax2000 | hi, im dual-booting ubuntu with arch linux, ubuntu as the primary os. the problem is grub2 tells me that arch boot partition in in /dev/sda5 but actually it's in /dev/sda1. i tried update-grub and still grub got my arch partition wrong, can someone help? thanks | 10:56 |
| Strav | TheRandom: yep | 10:57 |
| TheRandom | Strav, thank's. | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: ok get fully updated and reboot, see if it stays. If not, we can take extra steps to make it be set each time. The combination of driver/nic and router are making your OS fail to get DNS settings via DHCP (probably some netgear rubbish) | 10:57 |
| TheRandom | How did you know ActionParsnip :P | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: so we need to work around it by setting the DNS servers manually | 10:57 |
| TheRandom | I'll set it to reboot | 10:57 |
| Strav | TheRandom: due to the lack of your loopback interface which got screwed | 10:58 |
| solofight | glebihan, same error | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: because you couldn't ping names (needs DNS) so I had you ping a known IP and it worked. Ergo, DNS is failing | 10:58 |
| solofight | will try ActionParsnip solution | 10:58 |
| glebihan | solofight, did you run the commands ActionParsnip gave you ? | 10:58 |
| solofight | doing them as we speak | 10:58 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, that makes alarming sense :P | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html shows how to set it in Ubuntu | 10:59 |
| solofight | ActionParsnip, whats the reason for such happening ? | 10:59 |
| TheRandom | As you forsaw ActionParsnip it has failed again. | 10:59 |
| solofight | bug in ubuntu ? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: the apt thing? No idea. I only know the fix | 11:00 |
| solofight | ok | 11:00 |
| solofight | in process of executing the first command | 11:00 |
| Strav | ActionParsnip: why didn't he had any interfaces to begin with? (I didn't had this problem once or twice) | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: if you install dnsmasq and set the first dns server to 127.0.0.1 you can make name resoles take 0ms rather than ~30ms | 11:01 |
| Strav | I did had... | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Strav: no idea, didn't see that bit. Just saw the ping stuff | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: you never know, updates may just make it work as it should, meaning you don't need to manually set stuff | 11:02 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip: installed dnsmasq. | 11:02 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip: It's interesting as lots of things seemed to fail overnight, ftp, ssh, DNS. | 11:02 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip: there were no changes on the server bar apt-get upgrade. | 11:02 |
| damo22 | ActionParsnip: that doesnt make sense, wouldnt the dns server on localhost still have to ask a real dns for the ip if its not cached? | 11:02 |
| Strav | ActionParsnip: when I asked him to do an ifconfig... ah I see, he did ifconfig 127.0.0.1... | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: you need to tell dnsmasq to listen to 127.0.0.1 | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | damo22: initialy, yes but it learns the resolutions over time | 11:03 |
| damo22 | ok | 11:03 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, whats the syntax for that? -a --localhost? | 11:04 |
| mouse | I'm running firefox and I can't get it to open .rar files with my archive manager by default or even optionally. I've added file-roller manually but it only seems to be temporary since it still won't let archive manager be an option in the drop down menu. Does anyone have experience with this? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: gksudo gedit /etc/dnsmasq.conf find listen-address= and change it to listen-address=127.0.0.1 | 11:04 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip: done. | 11:04 |
| Kartagis | does server RAM have anything to do with page loadings being slow? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: after reboot it will apply, then you can change the DNS servers as teh google link I gave says, but set DNS to: 127.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 | 11:05 |
| TheRandom | Kartagis, only if the RAM is full ;) | 11:05 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip: in resolv.conf? | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: yes but have each on it's own line | 11:05 |
| TheRandom | yup done that. Rebooting. | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mouse: sudo apt-get install rar unrar p7zip-full unp | 11:05 |

| solofight | ActionParsnip, after finishing the commands present till line 8 i executed line 9 command and got the error http://pastebin.com/RX55FkcG | 11:06 |
| solofight | how to proceed ? | 11:06 |
| TheRandom | Kartagis, that sounds fine. HTTP page loads? | 11:07 |
| Kartagis | TheRandom: yep | 11:07 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, no dice. Reboot gives me unknown host errors... | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: could disable the extras repo, or change server to the main server, or GB server | 11:07 |
| PoSV | ActionParsnip: i just installed "sudo apt-get install rar unrar p7zip-full unp" and when i go to the file and rightclick open with unrar nothing happends at all.. :s | 11:07 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, and the resolv.conf has been wiped clean. | 11:07 |
| solofight | ActionParsnip, how to do that ? | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: ok, use the guide I gave earlier. The network manager app will populate resolv.conf for you | 11:07 |
| PoSV | ActionParsnip: also if i try to open any movie with VLC it doesn't play. | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: in software centre | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !codecs | PoSV | 11:08 |

| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, the google link? | 11:08 |
| PoSV | ActionParsnip: not even about codec the file actually wont even open, it just sits the same with unrar.. | 11:08 |
| PoSV | ActionParsnip: like nothing is opening at all :s | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: the one I gave earlier... | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | PoSV: run vlc from terminal, the output may help | 11:10 |
| testing1234 | test | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | PoSV: also try other players, like gnome-mplayer :) | 11:10 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, I'm looking, but I can only see a link to code.google.com which doesn't include setting permenant nameservers. | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html | 11:10 |
| html | rrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! sfvoujb im getting poked | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: yes, that's what oyou need as yours aren't being set | 11:10 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, "Additionally, if you are using DHCP client software that overwrites the settings in /etc/resolv.conf, you will need to set up the client accordingly by editing the client's configuration file." | 11:10 |
| === html is now known as htmlinprogress | ||
| bazhang | html, wrong channel | 11:11 |
| TheRandom | I set them in resolv.conf, and when I reboot it's been overwritten | 11:11 |
| solofight | ActionParsnip, removed ticks from all under other software tab, now again start from first command or just update command ? | 11:11 |
| htmlinprogress | bazhang, for what ? my name was at the end of every statment | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: yes, tht's why you need the guide, the GUI app you are using to configure networking (network manager is default in ubuntu) is overwriting the file, so you need that guide to tell it what to write to the file as it isn't being recieved by DHCP | 11:12 |
| tarelerulz | I try to send files to my pc via blue tooth ,but nothing happens. What could the problem be | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: if it DID then the app would write whatever it recieved but it isn't so it blanks the file | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: that's why I gave the link. It explains how you can tell it the DNS servers. | 11:12 |
| snufft | jrib: thanks :) | 11:12 |
| PoSV | ActionParsnip: gnome-mplayer play .flv/ | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: sure, after closing software centre as it will lock the packages | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | PoSV: yes | 11:13 |
| TheRandom | ActionParsnip, I'm a div I was looking under Debian, however I'm sshing into the server, so do you know how to do this via terminal? | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: not sure there. I think there is nm-cli but I've never used it. You could set it for now in resolv.conf manually and when you next physically attend the system (or can get someone else to) you can setup the app there | 11:14 |
| solofight | ActionParsnip, closed software center, and again gave sudo apt-get update and got this error http://pastebin.com/UADn2g83 | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | TheRandom: if you use a wired connection and nothing smart like VPN etc, you can remove network manager and use /etc/network/interfaces to setup addressing etc and then you can edit resolv.conf and it will not get blanked at boot | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | solofight: I'd try a little later (or try a different server again). Not sure there. Maybe others can advise | 11:15 |
| mouse | ActionParsnip, All the packages you've mentioned are installed and I restarted firefox and I still can't get it to use an archive manager by default or to even have an archive manager as an option in the drop down menu. | 11:16 |
| PoSV | ActionParsnip: i just tried unrar l file.rar and it asks for a password; is that unrar asking for a password or the .rar? | 11:16 |
| glebihan | solofight, doesn't look like you changed the mirror, did you ? | 11:17 |
| damo22 | TheRandom: theres a guide on how to do it on the link ActionParsnip provided earlier... you have to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 11:17 |
| Stanley00 | PoSV: unrar is asking, .rar cant ;) | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | PoSV: the file is password protected | 11:17 |
| solofight | glebihan, i disabled all ticks from second tab. now i regognised ActionParsnip was talking about the option in 1st tab called server :( my bad | 11:17 |
| PoSV | ActionParsnip: ffs, i don't remember hte password lol | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mouse: not sure man, I don't use firefox | 11:18 |
| damo22 | PoSV: looks like youre in trouble | 11:18 |
| solofight | glebihan, even after closing software center when i do a update on terminal it says locked | 11:18 |
| mouse | ActionParsnip, You use chromium? | 11:18 |
| solofight | all i have is chrome and firefox and this opened | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | mouse: chromium daily and Arora | 11:19 |
| glebihan | solofight, once you've changed the mirror, start over with the commands ActionParsnip gave you | 11:19 |
| solofight | glebihan, ok | 11:19 |
| mouse | ActionParsnip, Well thanks anyways. | 11:20 |

| ichbinder | hello. A problem with grep in SVN folders: when I do $ grep -R "bla" * --exclude="*.svn*" it ignores some of the .svn folders but not all. Does somebody else have the same experience and if so, why is that? It seems that ignores the .svn for the first folder grep get's in but not for all, or something like that. | 11:22 |
| Stanley00 | ichbinder: maybe you should try --exclude-dir=PATTERN | 11:25 |
| geirha | ichbinder: I use this function instead. svngrep() { find . -name .svn -prune -o -type f -exec grep "$@" /dev/null {} +; } | 11:25 |
| damo22 | ichbinder: find . \! \( -iname "*.svn" \) | xargs grep PATTERN | 11:25 |
| ichbinder | Stanley00: oh, damn it... thanks for no RTFM... :-/ | 11:26 |
| Stanley00 | ichbinder: you are welcome ;) | 11:26 |
| ichbinder | thanks geirha and damo22. | 11:27 |
| geirha | ichbinder: To use it, remember to omit -r/-R. E.g.: svngrep -w my_func | 11:27 |
| geirha | damo22: That doesn't really do what ichbinder is asking. | 11:29 |
| houdini | Hello, I am a NOOB! Can some one please help me change permission settings | 11:30 |
| ichbinder | geirha, damo22: yeah... geirha: why not using the --exclude-dir option? | 11:30 |
| Stanley00 | houdini: chmod is what you need then? | 11:31 |
| IamTrying | 11.04 using terminal how can i disable this "Lock screen + screensaver " ? | 11:31 |
| Stanley00 | houdini: or, simply right-click on file/folder and look in tab permission. | 11:31 |
| geirha | ichbinder: That's a GNU grep option, I sometimes need to do that on non GNU systems. | 11:32 |
| _kBz_ | houdini: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 11:32 |
| ichbinder | geirha: ah, ok. Thanks. :) | 11:32 |
| geirha | ichbinder: Though --exclude-dir=.svn should work afaik. | 11:33 |
| ichbinder | geirha: yeah, on my ubuntu, it's working just fine... it was just the small difference between --exclude and --exclude-dir | 11:33 |

| pete-joh | ZenMaster: what should i be looking for | 11:44 |
| ZenMaster | pete-joh: ps -aux will show you all processes. | 11:44 |
| jrib | pete-joh: "jobs" will list the process your terminal is handling | 11:45 |
| ZenMaster | pete-joh: For instance I would do something like #>ps -aux |more (So you can see about 25 procs at a time). | 11:45 |
| ZenMaster | pete-joh: Or ps -aux |grep Gayporn (That would show you all procs with gay porn in the title). | 11:45 |

| krastin | anybody know how to make the unity launcher display running programs from the current workspace only? | 11:47 |
| zimbres | jrib: yes, i have removed most default directories because I do not like to name that way. But the question is why my directorys are being diplayed on the Desktop screnn | 11:48 |
| jrib | zimbres: look ate the value for DESKTOP | 11:49 |
| solofight | people help i changed to main server and entered the commands one by one and whe i do the update this error occurs http://pastebin.com/index/UADn2g83 | 11:49 |
| zimbres | jrib: ok, I will edit the file, I did not know it | 11:50 |
| zHammeRz | where do you see where the linkspeed of a nic is in Ubuntu 11? | 11:51 |
| zimbres | jrib: Can I just remove lines I do not want? | 11:51 |
| jrib | zimbres: you probably don't want to do that as programs will often ask things like "where is the directory for videos?" and XDG_VIDEOS_DIR will be the answer it receives. Just set some values you prefer | 11:52 |
| jrib | zimbres: you can make the value whatever you want (as long as you enter it in the format described in the formats at the top of the file) | 11:53 |

| zimbres | jrib: ok, but anyway I do not need a template directory for example | 11:54 |

| jrib | zimbres: I do not know what the effect of just deleting the value is (it may be restored or it may not) | 11:55 |
| snufft | shouldn't it be enclosed or something to separate vhost entries? | 11:55 |
| jrib | zimbres: if it's restored, it's probably restored according to: /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults | 11:55 |

| pete-joh | jrib: instead of ttyX/ptsX | 12:01 |
| pete-joh | jrib: any ideas why i cannot stop the daemon with start-stop-daemon commadn? | 12:02 |
| jrib | pete-joh: I am not familiar with start-stop-daemon | 12:02 |
| jrib | pete-joh: I would start by investigating how start-stop-daemon tries to stop the process... and seeing how the process responds to different signals | 12:02 |
| pete-joh | jrib: its the function that /etc/init.d/scripts call when they start and stop daemons | 12:02 |
| pete-joh | jrib: yea, i can stop the daemon by sending kill TERM, the daemon listens to that kill signal | 12:03 |
| pete-joh | jrib: but i have no idea about the internal functions in start-stop-daemon | 12:03 |
| jrib | pete-joh: I would read start-stop-daemon documentation and source code at this point | 12:04 |
| pete-joh | jrib: also, i cannot use 'pgrep <tab> to list the daemon' | 12:04 |
| pete-joh | jrib: i fear that the daemon isnt completely daemonized | 12:04 |

| nicofs_ | ActionParsnip, where can I do this? | 12:12 |
| alphonso89 | i want to install ubuntu side by side with my windows 7 | 12:13 |
| alphonso89 | when i first tried to load it with my usb, i could select the install side by side option and I chose it | 12:13 |
| don-i | is it possible to pipe the output of ls into a text file thats in someone elses home directory ? | 12:13 |
| don-i | i tried with sudo, and it wont let me do that either | 12:13 |
| Hyperbyte | don-i, only if you have write access to it. | 12:14 |
| alphonso89 | however it was isntalling and I got an error and it returned me to the selection menu but this time there was only 2 options left. either delete windows 7 or other options | 12:14 |
| jrib | don-i: command | sudo tee file | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nicofs_: run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1" save the new file, close gedit then run: sudo update-grub reboot to test. You could have EASILY found that out yourself using websearches, leaving me free to help otehrs. | 12:14 |
| zykotick9 | don-i, fyi if you are using an actual pipe "|", sudo can't... see jrib above | 12:14 |
| alphonso89 | i rebooted severtimes and it was still the same | 12:14 |

| alphonso89 | is there anyway i can install side by side :(? | 12:15 |

| nicofs_ | ActionParsnip, the disabling thing or that ipv6 is the issue? | 12:16 |
| alphonso89 | nah i only have 2 partition. 1 with windows inside and another 1 with backup recovery | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | nicofs_: the disabling thing | 12:16 |

| don-i | Hyperbyte, zykotick9, jrib thanks | 12:17 |
| don-i | i should see what 'tee' does..never used that before | 12:17 |
| marenostrum | alphonso89, L didn't install Uvbuntu side by side with Win 7 but did it side by side with XP on my brother-in-law's machine. There was no problem. | 12:17 |
| jrib | don-i: other way is to do « sudo -i » (you get a root prompt), redirect output from ls like you normally would using '>', then exiting once you are done | 12:17 |
| RealAndy | ActionParsnip: thanks | 12:18 |
| alphonso89 | yea there shouldnt be any problem | 12:18 |
| alphonso89 | i mean ive installed it several times before on this laptop as well | 12:18 |
| alphonso89 | side by side windows 7 but it was ubuntu 10.04 and this time im using ubuntu 11.10 beta | 12:18 |
| marenostrum | alphonso89, Did you have an empty partition other than where Win is installed (typically C)? | 12:18 |
| alphonso89 | marenostrum, nope. i only have 1 with windows 7 inside and another 1 with backup recovery | 12:19 |
| don-i | jrib, good to know ! | 12:19 |
| The_Rufus | help!!!! I've had my server working fine for a few weeks, nothing has changed at all, but now when I "sudo" a command it tells me my username is not in the sudoers list!!!! I can't administer my computer!!!!!!! | 12:20 |
| marenostrum | alphonso89, I am not an expert on dual booting (installing side by side) but as far as I know, the first point is to prepare an empty partion. | 12:20 |
| marenostrum | alphonso89, Most probably, Ubuntu did what you said because it coludn't see an empty partition. | 12:21 |
| ActionParsnip | The_Rufus: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root, then run: usermod -a -G admin foo change foo to your username, reboot and the foo user can use sudo etc | 12:21 |
| alphonso89 | mareno, okay but i just want to know if i did anything wrong. | 12:21 |

| rizzo__ | quick question, need to install apache 2.2.20, found it here http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/319714, how can i install that using apt-get? | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | alphonso89: you run a FULL backup in case of catastrophe | 12:23 |
| rizzo__ | release: lucid | 12:23 |
| alphonso89 | actionparsnip, you are saying that i resize it inside windows then i install ubuntu? | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | alphonso89: yes, Win7 can resize it's own NTFS partition | 12:23 |
| alphonso89 | actionparsnip, can windows do dynamic partition as well? | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | alphonso89: the free space can be then used to install Ubuntu to | 12:23 |
| marenostrum | alphonso89, On Win 7, I believe its easy yo create new partitions. Create one and delete all inside it and try to install Ubuntu side by side. (As I said, I'm not an expert on this issue.) | 12:23 |
| alphonso89 | actionparsnip, yea i already backed up. thanks | 12:23 |

| Sidewinder1 | ActionParsnip, When win7 resizes/shrinks it's own partition, does it also defragment? | 12:24 |

| uno1 | hola ,cual es el canal en español??? | 12:25 |

| asdjaputra | rizzo__, yes, beta | 12:34 |

| ActionParsnip | rizzo__: its more trustworthy as PPAs are compiled / maintained by random folks from the community. Oneiric is currently beta, yes | 12:34 |

| ActionParsnip | hallgeirg: boot to liveCD and reinstate grub2 on your internal drive | 12:51 |
| === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf | ||
| ActionParsnip | hallgeirg: why not use your ubuntu liveCD to boot with? | 12:51 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: the VIA one | 12:51 |
| hallgeirg | Action: reinstate grub2? cause i can only choose try ubuntu or install ubuntu on ubuntu liveCD | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: I'm guessing your video card has HDMI with HDMI audio. Is that right? | 12:52 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: yes, correct. | 12:52 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: I'm not using that | 12:52 |
| mc89__ | Pici, then how do i use openssh with the 2 you mentioned | 12:52 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: choose try, then you can use the terminal to install grub | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | hallgeirg: you can do it in a chroot in the live desktop | 12:52 |
| hallgeirg | I have tried to edit /etc/default/grub | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: just clarifying. hmm, let me see | 12:52 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: if I mute and unmute the "internal audio analogue stereo" in pavucontrol output devices, I hear pops in both ears of my headphones, so the physical hardware is obviously working | 12:53 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: Did you then run sudo update-grub (after editing the file?) | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | hallgeirg: it's not just that | 12:53 |
| hallgeirg | edbian: yes | 12:53 |
| greenmang0 | guys, i somehow screwed up with the default cursor theme available with ubuntu, how can i get it back? where to install it from? | 12:53 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: What are you trying to fix? | 12:53 |
| Pici | mc89__: ssh-keygen -t dsa , ssh itself will find the key automagically | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | hallgeirg: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html | 12:54 |
| hallgeirg | when i reboot my box i get the bios screen, then a black screen with cursor, and nothing more | 12:54 |
| ne2k | hallgeirg: can you boot from a CD? | 12:54 |
| === cereal|Away is now known as cereal | ||
| Giac0m0 | Is there already a ubuntu implemetation of the sandbox that you can find in Fedora en RHEL? | 12:55 |
| hallgeirg | ne2k: yes | 12:55 |
| ne2k | hallgeirg: what you report suggests a corrupt MBR | 12:55 |
| hallgeirg | what is mbr? | 12:55 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: I think grub is installed. Can you press shift during boot and see a menu about which OS to boot? (press shift several times after the bios post) | 12:55 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: MBR is the master boot record. It is the area of the harddrive where a small program sits that tells the bios where the OS's are on the hdd | 12:55 |
| hallgeirg | edebia: i tried holding shift but only black screen | 12:56 |
| hallgeirg | (did not press multiple times) | 12:56 |
| pzn | how can I "customize" the name of "desktop" folder? | 12:56 |
| BluesKaj | hallgeirg, holding the shift works too | 12:56 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: You only have to press it once to activate the menu but knowing precisely what moment to press it is tricky so I usually press it a whole bunch | 12:56 |
| hallgeirg | but i got to boot it after using Linux mint live cd | 12:57 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: If you didn't have grub installed you'd get a screen that says 'No OS found' or similar | 12:57 |
| Stanley00 | pzn: try looking in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 12:57 |
| hallgeirg | so i am in ubuntu now | 12:57 |
| mc89__ | Pici: openssh is still looking for the ecdsa key | 12:57 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: Can you elaborate on how you did that? | 12:57 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: How did a linux mint live CD help you boot your installed OS? | 12:57 |
| Pici | mc89__: Can you show me what command you are trying to run? | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: I can't see anything amiss, all I can recommend is under sound properties change the output device to something else, then back to what it should be. My sound fixing ability is limited | 12:58 |
| hallgeirg | edebian: i booted with LinuxMint live cd, till it said booting in 10 sec | 12:58 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: So you're running linux mint then | 12:58 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: done all that. thanks for your help | 12:58 |
| hallgeirg | then pressed a key and choose boot from disk | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ne2k: maybe others can chip in | 12:58 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: I see! | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | hallgeirg: the guide I gave should help | 12:58 |
| dchua | I'm testing oneiric beta1 and I need to grab the source for a particular package. What deb-src URL should I use (in /etc/apt/sources.list) for this? Thanks. | 12:58 |
| hallgeirg | edebian: no, it booted my freshly installed ubuntu | 12:58 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: Are you running the mint liveCD right now? | 12:58 |
| Pici | dchua : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. | 12:58 |
| Stanley00 | dchua: beta has #ubuntu+1 | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | dchua: ask in #ubuntu+1 for oneiric | 12:58 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: Reboot into some linux liveCD (ubunut or mint) | 12:58 |
| hallgeirg | ok. | 12:59 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: then pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l | 12:59 |

| klingelbart | hi, if i use nautilus to copy mp3 files onto my mp3-player, the file-properties (album-name etc.) get lost, so the player can't play the files. does anyone have got a solution? | 13:00 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: do NOT paste it here in the channel | 13:00 |
| hallgeirg | ofc | 13:00 |
| Pici | mc89__: Uh. Why does it look like you are running a custom install of openssh? Is there a reason you aren't using the packaged version in the repositories? | 13:01 |
| hallgeirg | edebian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684388/ | 13:01 |

| valthyx | in ubuntu, if i type "arp -a", will i be able to see all hosts in my network? assuming host isolation is not available. | 13:01 |
| hallgeirg | <-- a bit of a noob | 13:01 |
| robinduckett | got my boss to order me an nvidia card isntead of an ati card for my workstation, anyone know how easy / difficult it will be to swap them out? will i need to uninstall the ati drivers first? | 13:02 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: you have a lot of hdds | 13:02 |
| mc89__ | Pici i used ipkg | 13:02 |
| coz_ | valthyx, did you try it? | 13:02 |
| Pici | mc89__: ipkg? What is ipkg? | 13:02 |
| edbian | Pici: apples newest product | 13:02 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt/ | 13:02 |
| hallgeirg | edbian: yeah.. ubuntu is on my 80gb ssd | 13:02 |
| Pici | mc89__: Are you running Ubuntu? | 13:02 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: This mounts the ubuntu install into the /mnt folder in the live CD | 13:02 |
| mc89__ | Pici, no i just realised the thing im working on isn't ubuntu | 13:03 |
| mc89__ | but my desktop is | 13:03 |
| mc89__ | it's a qnap nas | 13:03 |
| Pici | mc89__: I'm afraid we can't help you with that then. Sorry. | 13:03 |

| === Guest46087 is now known as pgreen919 | ||
| edbian | hallgeirg: You have many OSs | 13:04 |
| hallgeirg | edbian: the ssd disk and I should not have any exept ubuntu now | 13:05 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: ok, sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdf | 13:05 |
| hallgeirg | edbian: Installation finished. No error reported. | 13:06 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: That installs grub to the ssd and tells grub where to put it's extra files | 13:06 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: awesome :) try to reboot and see if it works | 13:06 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: It may be the fact that it's an SSD but it shouldn't matter | 13:06 |
| hallgeirg | edbian: thank you so much.. brb | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | ne2k, open alsamixer in the terminal , make sure the headphone ctrl isn't muted , F5 will show all ctrls and make sure auto mute is turned off , if so equipped. | 13:07 |
| edbian | hallgeirg: sure | 13:07 |
| hoarycripple | Is there any way I can specify that particular package never gets updated? | 13:07 |
| Pici | !pinning | hoarycripple | 13:07 |
| ubottu | hoarycripple: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 13:07 |
| pzn | Stanley00, thanks, it worked! | 13:07 |
| hoarycripple | Pici, thank you. | 13:07 |
| Stanley00 | pzn: you are welcome ;) | 13:07 |
| coz_ | hoarycripple, you could open sysnaptic and set that package a frozen | 13:07 |
| Pici | hoarycripple: np. | 13:07 |
| ne2k | BluesKaj: done all that | 13:08 |
| ne2k | BluesKaj: I'm convinced that everything is in place as it was before it stopped working | 13:08 |
| ne2k | BluesKaj: I had this exact same problem a few weeks ago, and that time, upgrading the driver to the -dev ppa one fixed it, but this time, it's not working | 13:09 |
| hoarycripple | Pici, fantastic. exactly what I was looking for. thanks again. | 13:09 |
| rizzo__ | so after freaking out about the pci scan results, i installed packeges from another distro of ubuntu and ppa, for apache and php, how to i get them back to the orignal , i went head and edited my sources.lst and ran apt-get update, what else do i have to do | 13:11 |
| hallgeirg | hm | 13:12 |
| hallgeirg | edbian: you there still? | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | ne2k, I get chastised sometimes for suggesting this but pulseaudio can be the problem in a lot of cases , therefore I don't use or need it . Either install pavucontrol and paprefs , or remove pulseaudio and use alsa as your audio ctrl system instead. With pulseaudio it's all or nothing in some cases. | 13:12 |
| ne2k | BluesKaj: I already have pavucontrol | 13:13 |
| BluesKaj | ne2k, well then , it's your decision whether to keep fiddling with pulseaudio or .... | 13:14 |
| ne2k | BluesKaj: the problem is not with pulseaudio, the problem is with alsa | 13:14 |
| BluesKaj | ne2k, I have no problems with alsa , but with pulseaudio I have nothing but problems . | 13:16 |
| ne2k | BluesKaj: can I just apt-get remove pulseaudio? | 13:16 |
| BluesKaj | ne2k, pulseaudio is basically redundant | 13:17 |
| BluesKaj | ne2k, yes , but you'll need to reboot | 13:17 |
| valthyx | in ubuntu, when i type "arp -a", will it show all the hosts in the network? assuming that host isolation is disabled | 13:17 |
| sipior | valthyx: no, only entries for which an arp entry is cached. | 13:19 |
| ne2k | BluesKaj: I've done alsa force-reload and I got lots of pops and clicks, and banshee reports it's playing, but I still get no sound | 13:19 |
| robinduckett | ne2k | 13:19 |
| robinduckett | is your cable | 13:19 |
| robinduckett | plugged into the right output | 13:19 |
| robinduckett | i know it sounds ridiculous and you've probably already checked | 13:20 |
| ne2k | robinsmidsrod: seriously, I'm not an idiot | 13:20 |
| valthyx | sipior, is there any way to check who are connected to the network? | 13:20 |
| robinduckett | ne2k: neither is anyone else who have found that to be the case when they *actually* checked | 13:20 |
| coz_ | ne2k, I dont think he meant it that way | 13:20 |
| robinduckett | could be anything from faulty cable to incorrect hole | 13:20 |
| ne2k | robinsmidsrod: as I said, when I mute and unmute the headphones in pavucontrol (before I removed pulseaudio), I got clicks in the headphones. therefore the headphones are plugged into the right socket | 13:20 |
| ne2k | robinduckett: I have ruled out all of those things | 13:21 |
| robinduckett | ne2k: I get that when my headphones are plugged into the mic. | 13:21 |

| hallgeirg | is there anyone here that tried to help me 5 minutes ago? | 13:21 |
| sipior | valthyx: nmap is useful for exploring your network surroundings. | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | ne2k, reboot, force reload alsa means nothing , you need to rid the system of the pulseaudio default config settings | 13:22 |
| SejmL | hello | 13:22 |

| ne2k | and there is no reason to think that pulseaudio is the source of the issue | 13:35 |

| ne2k | BluesKaj: this is just utterly insane. I don't see why it should just suddenly stop working. I don't believe pulseaudio has anything to do with it and I actually don't mind pulseaudio, and would rather leave as much stuff unfiddled with as possible | 13:39 |

| snufft | Sidewinder1: wgat's the difference between gksudo and sudo? | 13:41 |
| IdleOne | gksudo is for running GUI apps with sudo privs | 13:41 |
| snufft | ahhh. cheers IdleOne :) | 13:42 |
| Sidewinder1 | !gksudo | snufft | 13:42 |
| ubottu | snufft: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 13:42 |
| snufft | thanks Sidewinder1, reading now :) | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | ne2k, well for your info this pc is also a desktop pc, which is used as a media server for our home theater system and we find no need for pulseaudio, but if you must then reinstall it ...there's nothing sropping you from doing so. | 13:43 |
| Sidewinder1 | snufft, My pleasure. | 13:43 |

| ubottu | expiation: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 16:17 |

| gulzar | I insatlled linux without BOOTLOADER on pendrive. Now want to install bootloader on it and an entry for that OS. How to do so? | 16:25 |
| BrandonBolton | Matty502: Just go to the Ubuntu Software Center and search for Alsa. | 16:25 |
| Vampy | ActionParsnip, any way to select all options / checkmarks from searched results | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | gulzar: boot livecd or live usb and you can install grub2 to it there | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Vampy: I don't understand the question, can you rephrase please | 16:26 |
| gulzar | 16:26 | |
| Matty502 | I just typed in "sound" in the applications menu, clicked to open it, and got a popup telling me that it's waiting for Sound System to respond | 16:26 |
| gulzar | ActionParsnip: I am on LIVE ubuntu 10.10 cd | 16:26 |
| Matty502 | That has some serious implications, I'd think | 16:26 |
| BrandonBolton | gulzar: Just create it with Unetbootin. It creates the bootloader for you. The drive just has to be formatted to Fat32. | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Vampy: do you mean select to install all the results from a search in software centre? | 16:27 |
| Vampy | ActionParsnip, I want to make sure i get everything for the newest version, how would i do that | 16:27 |
| gulzar | 16:27 | |
| Vampy | ActionParsnip, yes | 16:27 |
| gulzar | BrandonBolton: i did proper install .. no unetbootin | 16:27 |

| MeirD | Sometimes Aptana Studio too... but that's about it | 16:44 |
| edbian | MeirD: next time it happens run top in the terminal and see what is using the most CPU or the most RAM | 16:44 |
| luite | of course it's window's fault and not your own for not making backups of months of work :p | 16:44 |
| dinggs | miha: probably no data corruption but a genuine bug. did it load the kernel? "if i start livecd" is too vague a description of where exactly it failed | 16:44 |
| pnjh | BrandonBolton: I did, there were mentions of XSPLASH and Plymouth, a quick scan of these articles led me to believe they are quick "hacks"... isn't there a configuration file or something I can alter manually? | 16:45 |
| MeirD | ok, I started "top" I'll check whats going on there | 16:45 |
| REK_007 | Guys how can i backup my current ubuntu installation so that i can restore it on my new HDD | 16:45 |
| urlin2u | pnjh, at start up you can go text by removing the quiet splash in gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 16:45 |
| BrandonBolton | mang0: You can try and install iTunes through wWine, there are a few ways to do this but it has to be like iTunes 8 or so. | 16:46 |
| MeirD | command "Xorg" | 16:46 |
| miha | dinggs: just checked md5sum, it's fine... it failed right after menu 'start without changing anything'... it wanted to read from 'sr0' | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | REK_007: could use dd or partimage | 16:46 |
| miha | 10.04.3-desktop-amd64 | 16:46 |
| pnjh | urlin2u: Text with PURPLE background, so the problem remains lol. I know it's a silly niggly little point, but I have to look at it every day and it's quite irritating | 16:46 |
| miha | dinggs: cant find option to disable cdrom in bios.. | 16:46 |
| mang0 | BrandonBolton I'll have a look on appdb for itunes. | 16:46 |
| urlin2u | miha, is the fail a black screen? | 16:46 |
| REK_007 | ActionParsnip: I want to keep a backup so that I can format my current 500gb and then again restore ... | 16:46 |
| ne2k | REK_007: can you put both disks in the same machine? if so, do that and use rsync | 16:47 |
| miha | urlin2u: i pressed f2 and it said ioerror and sr0 | 16:47 |
| edbian | MeirD: Xorg draws the graphics. I suggest changing your graphics driver. Unfortunately I don't know how and I have to go now | 16:47 |
| urlin2u | pnjh, black background on my computer | 16:47 |
| miha | it was loading infinetly, the gu | 16:47 |
| miha | gui | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | REK_007: yes, dd will do a bit by bit copy to an image, you can then dd the other way to restore | 16:47 |
| Matty502 | http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/3715/screenshotbbu.png | 16:47 |
| ne2k | REK_007: if not, put them in separate machines and use rsync | 16:47 |
| BrandonBolton | pnjh: When I did it I had to install a program and download a few different files. I will try and find it again. | 16:47 |
| MeirD | ok, thanks man | 16:47 |
| Matty502 | First step goes haywire | 16:47 |
| pnjh | BrandonBolton: Thankyou ;) | 16:47 |
| ne2k | ActionParsnip: bitcopy is a bit silly if you don't need it. if you copy files you will automatically defragment the drive | 16:47 |
| urlin2u | miha, f2 is generally the bios. | 16:48 |
| miha | thing is i cant find in bios to disable built in cdrom | 16:48 |
| REK_007 | sorry i will reframe my question . I will format my HDD on which ubuntu is present and create the partitions again. So is there a way i can backup my current setup[to another HDD] and restore it once my HDD is ready. | 16:48 |
| pnjh | urlin2u: I'll check the file you mentioned and see if I did something different to what you're suggesting. Xubuntu has the right idea, black and silver <3 | 16:48 |
| miha | anyway, my ubuntu 10.04 installation is alright, my lenovo vista recovery wasnt.. just checking if i can boot livecd :) | 16:48 |
| mang0 | BrandonBolton looks like itunes 10 is a silver level wine program | 16:48 |
| ne2k | REK_007: why do you want to reformat the drive and recreate the same partitions again? | 16:48 |
| urlin2u | REK_007, yeah clonezilla, but the partions built have to at lwast as big as the original. | 16:48 |
| urlin2u | least* | 16:49 |
| greyster | good evening everyone | 16:49 |
| ne2k | REK_007: if you're trying to resize, you don't need to go to that length. resizing is mature now | 16:49 |

| BrandonBolton | pnjh: I did this is a while ago and it worked. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-settings-for-the-bootloader-and-splash-screen-in-ubuntu.html | 16:49 |
| urlin2u | pnjh, if you change that file run sudo update-grub. | 16:49 |
| REK_007 | urlin2u: yeah partitions will be same . | 16:49 |
| BrandonBolton | mang0: I am not sure how to help. I am still noobish in ways. | 16:50 |
| pnjh | BrandonBolton: Thanks a lot I'll have a look now. urlin2u: Will do :) | 16:50 |
| urlin2u | REK_007, clonezillawill save it to another hd without any special partitionong. | 16:50 |
| REK_007 | thanks :) | 16:50 |

| thevaliantx | i was in the process of moving files from my cellphone to the geeksquad usb stick plugged into my computer when all of a sudden i got popup boxes saying that the files in question did not exist (or something like that). i could not access the usbstick after that. | 16:55 |
| Ricoshady | can you clarify your question? | 16:55 |
| thevaliantx | i ran this command and this is what it shows: | 16:55 |
| thevaliantx | mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/usb | 16:55 |
| thevaliantx | mount: no medium found on /dev/sdb | 16:55 |
| OneiricDerek | Ricoshady: it's possible that the upgrade changed the MIME associations, and so your server is now sending files with the wrong MIME type | 16:55 |
| thevaliantx | i never formatted my usbstick, why is linux saying that no medium is found on it? | 16:56 |
| urlin2u | Ricoshady, probably but maybe a web search for end of life and updates might help you | 16:56 |
| Polah | Ricoshady: What type of internet connection do you have? | 16:56 |
| Ricoshady | Polah: Cable, why? | 16:56 |

| urlin2u | and* | 16:57 |

| jaxmatos | TL help channel | 16:59 |
| Ricoshady | nicholas_: i dont see how that matters, my question is not about usb | 16:59 |
| urlin2u | thevaliantx, do you have a different computer too check the usb stick with, or have you just rebooted to see if that helps. | 17:00 |
| nicholas_ | Ricoshady: sorry, I got mixed up. | 17:00 |
| Polah | Ricoshady, like I said, try manually setting your MTU and retrying | 17:00 |
| Ricoshady | MTU? | 17:01 |
| thevaliantx | urlin2u: yeap, rebooted, that did nothing. will try the usb stick at another computer, however my cellphone is detected with no problems in the same usb port. | 17:02 |
| Polah | Ricoshady: On your panel, click the network icons > Edit connection > Select connection you're using > Edit > Change "MTU" field from "automatic" to 1500 if it's on automatic, save and restart the connection. | 17:02 |
| Ricoshady | Polah: what are you talking about? | 17:02 |
| Ricoshady | i dont have any problems with my internet connection | 17:03 |
| Polah | Ricoshady: You said PHP files were downloading rather than actually displaying what they should. I've had the same problem with the wrong MTU settings. Do what I said and then try again. | 17:03 |
| Ricoshady | Polah: thats not it, I promise. | 17:04 |
| thevaliantx | urlin2u: plugging the usb stick into another computer did nothing. | 17:04 |
| Ricoshady | this is a server anyway, no graphical interface | 17:04 |
| urlin2u | thevaliantx, time to talk to the geek squad if it was me I guess. | 17:04 |

| ikonia | Elvar: you have the problem because you're using 11.10 packages with 11.04 | 18:26 |
| fatal_ERROR777 | Starminn, I've jot so called "quick solutions" 1. If you did the distribution upgrade, you may experience lags like this. 2. If you have installed ubuntu 11.04, this is a big issue, which still needs to be resolved. If it doesn't answer your questions, let me think again... | 18:27 |

| jabbajac | ikonia: that would be in /usr/lib | 18:40 |
| [Ex0r] | mneptok- does updating the list require some sort of restart or refresh ? | 18:41 |
| drostje | [Ex0r]: it won't require a restart, just apt-get update and see whether either package now exists. | 18:41 |
| ikonia | jabbajac: that seems like the right place, | 18:41 |

| ikonia | jabbajac: you need to do the java equivilent of ldd against it, can you run "file" against the binary please. | 18:42 |
| drostje | Well you can always download the packages and their dependencies manually and install them with dpkg -i . | 18:42 |
| mneptok | [Ex0r]: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 18:42 |

| jabbajac | ikonia: =X how would I do that? | 18:42 |

| IamTrying | I have to change from my terminal the background wallpaper to black or red color how can i do that? e.g: xsetroot -solid black or #000000 does nothing. | 19:56 |
| mmyers | share: The thing is, I guess, I don't think it's the drive: A Debian install disk works just fine; the only problem is that Debian doesn't seem to have support for the Ethernet Card I have, so I can't really use that unless I find a way to get the driver in. And I tried the Ubuntu disk in a MacBook Pro and it worked fine. It's just this Mac Mini, which is weird. | 19:56 |

| kyle__ | justinas: Try it. For some insane reason gnome & other software are reading from the blocking random device, instead of the non-blocking. If you run out of entropy, that will happen. | 19:59 |

| thomasj73 | Hi everyone | 20:03 |
| pnjh | Evenin' all :) ... Quick question; is there anything I could have done / changed / installed or removed that would change file transfer speeds? It used to be lightning fast (few hundred mbps at least) and now it's down to 34mbps (ish) All I've done is remove some unwanted programs and change from gnome to xfce4 (all HDD's are EXT4) | 20:03 |
| thomasj73 | Hate being the new guy but I think I messed something up | 20:03 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: what has that got to do with using & on xsetroot | 20:03 |
| usr13 | share: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/gvfs-backends | 20:03 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, for a #!/bin/sh file | 20:03 |
| thomasj73 | I keep seeing stuff online about swap but when I set my system up, i didn't set up swap | 20:03 |
| guntbert | thomas__: please just state your question - try to keep it on one line | 20:03 |
| thomasj73 | is that bad? | 20:03 |
| share | thats it im moving to win98 | 20:04 |
| usr13 | pnjh: File transfer speeds? Isnt' that a network issue? | 20:04 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: ok, so stop trying to us it in a script and test it outside the script | 20:04 |
| thomasj73 | Is it too late to add swap after I've already installed Ubuntu? | 20:04 |
| share | thomasj73: no, make space and create the partition | 20:04 |
| thomasj73 | share: mkswap? | 20:05 |
| guntbert | !swap | thomas__ | 20:05 |
| ubottu | thomas__: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 20:05 |
| pnjh | usr13: I don't mean over the internet, I mean for example if I drag and drop files from my external hard drive to my /home folder or vice versa, or my second internal HDD | 20:05 |
| Jordan_U | thomasj73: Ubuntu creates a swap partition by default. Did you use automatic partitioning in the installer or manual? | 20:05 |
| share | thomasj73: the only problem is that you could lose files while resizing if disc is fragmented | 20:05 |
| usr13 | o | 20:05 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, $xsetroot -bg black -solid black ; failed | 20:05 |
| share | I guess. | 20:05 |
| thomasj73 | Jordan: Manual :( | 20:05 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: are you using compiz/multiple desktop spaces ? | 20:05 |
| usr13 | pnjh: How about doing it via CLI? Can you tell a difference there too? | 20:06 |
| thomasj73 | Jordan_U: How can I see my partitions? fdisk? | 20:06 |
| share | thomasj73: boot from livecd and then use gparted. i think you can do that | 20:06 |
| pnjh | usr13: I can do very little via CLI (ex windoze noob) :) | 20:06 |
| usr13 | pnjh: Run htop and see if the system is really that busy that it can't transfer files in a timely manor. | 20:06 |
| ZenMasta | fdisk -l | 20:06 |
| Jordan_U | thomasj73: I would recommend using GParted from a LiveCD/USB. After you create a swap partition you will need to add an entry for it in your /etc/fstab. | 20:07 |
| Jordan_U | !fstab | thomasj73 | 20:07 |
| ubottu | thomasj73: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 20:07 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: Console, fdisk, gui, gparted is nice. | 20:07 |
| usr13 | pnjh: man mv | 20:07 |
| * kyle__ happens to love LVM, and is quite annoyed it's not in there by default. | 20:07 | |
| usr13 | pnjh: man mv and man cp | 20:07 |
| ikonia | kyle__: can you cut out the /me commands please | 20:07 |
| share | thomasj73: administration > system monitor File Systems tab :) | 20:07 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, how do i check it? I am using default desktop (nothing special). | 20:07 |
| kyle__ | ikonia: Sorry, /me didn't know it offended anyone ;P | 20:07 |
| pnjh | usr13: aha! been looking for this kind of function, thanks :) ... | 20:08 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: on 11.04 I'm not sure how many desktops are there by default | 20:08 |
| thomasj73 | share: nope, no swap :( sudo fdisk -l: /dev/sdb1 * 1 7296 58603520 83 Linux | 20:08 |
| kyle__ | ikonia: in unity, 4 desktops. | 20:08 |
| kyle__ | ikonia: Same in gnome as well, I believe. | 20:09 |
| thomasj73 | And that's it\ | 20:09 |
| Uno_ | would this be a good place to ask how to install a script for xChat? | 20:09 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, 4 desktops, using the 1st one always. | 20:09 |
| ikonia | kyle__: thank you | 20:09 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: that maybe the problem | 20:09 |
| share | thomasj73: do you really need swap? are you gonna hibernate your computer? | 20:09 |
| share | do you use the maximum of RAM | 20:09 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: I'm not sure if xsetroot can do that, need to research | 20:09 |
| thomasj73 | share: I don't think I do | 20:09 |
| thomasj73 | share: nope | 20:09 |
| share | thomasj73: so you are fine. | 20:09 |
| luc_ | anybodytellme how to get my speakers to work i have nvidia pci ex card with hdmi audio to my tv | 20:10 |
| share | thomasj73: do you know what swap is? | 20:10 |
| share | :P | 20:10 |
| kyle__ | share: You should always have swap. Even if it's not a ton, you should always have it. | 20:10 |
| usr13 | pnjh: A lot of things can be done faster/easier via CLI. | 20:10 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, how can you just change the background wallpaper of "login prompt stage" like clicking the username/password (behind there is the wallpaper that i want to change to black. | 20:10 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: the login screen.....? that's not a desktop | 20:10 |
| thomasj73 | share: space on the hdd to stash sleeping apps until needed to be brought back into memory? | 20:10 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: that's controlled through gdm | 20:10 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, yes from login screen till desktop | 20:11 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, how can i change the gdm background ? | 20:11 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, that will solve my problem. | 20:11 |
| pnjh | usr13: It would appear so, what is htop by the way? terminal tells me I don't have it (and kindly offers to install it for me) | 20:11 |
| thomasj73 | share: Memory: 307MiB of 1.7GiB Swap: 0 of 0 | 20:11 |
| ikonia | IamTrying: I don't know if there is a tool in unity, | 20:11 |
| nothingspecial | pnjh: It is a system monitor | 20:12 |
| IamTrying | ikonia, /etc/gdm/**/default? | 20:12 |
| thomasj73 | share: So by the looks of things, I don't need to worry about swap then? | 20:12 |
| Uno_ | I'm trying to install a nowplaying script for xChat and Rhythmbox but I have no idea how to circumvent the Ubuntu installing phase, since I know nothing about directory or any of that. | 20:12 |
| pnjh | nothingspecial: thanks | 20:12 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: Do you use a web browser, install the flash plugin? | 20:12 |
| thomasj73 | kyle__: Chrome, yes I have flash installed | 20:13 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: Then you need swap. | 20:13 |
| jakemp | What is the easy way to reboot, my little shutdown/sleep, etc. menu is gone | 20:13 |
| blizzow | Anyone know what the default virtual machine hypervisor is going to be in oneiric? | 20:13 |
| xangua | jakemp: press thw power button | 20:13 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: Browsers, even the best of them, gobble up memory, and leak a little of it. Flash, gobbles up even MORE memory, and leaks most of it. | 20:13 |
| jakemp | xangua, nothing happens | 20:14 |
| thedangler | I followed the grub recovery and the options for ubuntu are missing all that is there is the windows partition and some other memory checks. | 20:14 |
| jakemp | maybe it's an oneric thing. | 20:14 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: Leave a page up with a poorly written flash advertisement on it, and in the morning, that craplet could be using 90% of your ram and 2gigs of swap. It happens. | 20:14 |
| thomasj73 | kyle__: Ok, I will apt-get Gparted | 20:14 |
| thomasj73 | kyle__, can I do it while logged in or do I have to boot off my thumb drive? | 20:15 |
| xangua | jakemp: then you should not be asking here | 20:15 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: If there's free space on your drive, you should be able to do it without rebooting. If there isn't, you want to boot off of a thumb drive. | 20:15 |
| IamTrying | If i put BACKCOLOR="#000000" in /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default would it change the background wallpaper ? | 20:15 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: You have one huge partition using the whole drive, don't you? | 20:15 |
| jakemp | xangua, I didn't know if it was an oneric thing or a unity thing. | 20:16 |
| jakemp | and +1 still hasn't responded | 20:16 |
| thomasj73 | kyle__, Oh, I have plenty of freespace, it's a fresh install | 20:16 |
| kyle__ | IamTrying: No, because that would change the X background, not the image file over it that is used in the login screen. | 20:16 |
| === bergLNX is now known as bergNIX | ||
| thomasj73 | kyle__, yes it is | 20:16 |
| thomasj73 | kyle__, all formatted ext3 i believe, 1 partition | 20:16 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: Sorry, should have been more clear. Free space as in unpartitioned space. | 20:16 |
| IamTrying | kyle__, wow, hmm. How can i change it, i cant find anything to search even in google. :) | 20:17 |
| thomasj73 | kyle__, oh, no, all partitioned | 20:17 |
| salva_ | hi | 20:17 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: You can actually make a swap file instead, if you don't want to reboot, but if you can,r eboot, use gparted to make a swap partition. Makes life better. | 20:17 |
| salva_ | greetings to all | 20:17 |
| kyle__ | IamTrying: Did you lookup gdm custom.conf? | 20:18 |
| kyle__ | IamTrying: I'm no expert at it, haven't used it in awhile, but I thought it was pretty well layed out in the gnome pages. | 20:18 |
| IamTrying | kyle__, yes i have /etc/gdm/custom.conf with [daemon] [greeter] | 20:18 |
| pnjh | The 4cores monitored in HTOP don't go aboe 5%, 1gig of my 16gig memory used, yet the file transfers still go SLOW. Something was also causing serious interupts in Gnome, stuttering video play back and delay between typing and text appearing on screen, this isn't happening in xfce though | 20:19 |
| thomasj73 | kyle__, ok to paste pstebin link in channel? | 20:19 |
| IamTrying | kyle__, you think that would do that job? Then i know what i should do, i have a list from Fedora last time i did. | 20:19 |
| kyle__ | thomasj73: Yea | 20:19 |
| kyle__ | IamTrying: I think you use BackgroundImage=<foo> in the [greeter] section. | 20:20 |

| coz_ | wilhart, after installing the driver from jockey-gtk,, use the nvidia_current driver by the way,,, then reboot | 20:34 |

| coz_ | wilhart, then open nvidia-settings with sudo -i go to the "X Server display configuration" make sure both monitors are recognized,,, then click on the secondary monitor,, set the resolution and location,, then click "Save to X configuration file" at the bottom of the dialog | 20:35 |

| new2net | in a .tar.gz which compression algr is used first? gzip then tar or the other way around? | 20:36 |
| robin0800 | Uno_, you need to unzip it first | 20:36 |
| Pici | new2net: tarred, then gzipped. | 20:36 |
| Uno_ | robin0800, I did | 20:36 |
| pnjh | wilhart: if you have a newer model of nvidia card, adding this to the devices section might add a few more features http://paste.ubuntu.com/684715/ | 20:37 |
| kyle__ | new2net: always tar first, then gzip, bzip2, xz. | 20:37 |
| new2net | Pici: ok, so is tar not really a compression algorithm at all- it's just a container to put a bunch of files into 1 file? | 20:37 |
| Uno_ | robin0800, now it's .pl | 20:37 |
| Pici | new2net: indeed. | 20:38 |

| Jordan_U | Enissay: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ | 20:40 |

| fabiobik | hello guys i have an usb card alfa awuso36h and i want to set to full power | 20:45 |
| fabiobik | my distro is debian but ubuntu is debian based | 20:45 |
| wh1zz0 | Hi guys.. Please ow do I make a kernel version load all te time (i.e by default)?? Here's ow it all started... When I installed ubuntu natty everyting worked fine, but after sometime i could no longer hibernate. When my machine tries to hibernate it goes into some sort of lock mode with two lights blinking (num lock and caps lock icons on my keyboard). So I came on here and someone suggested that I change the kernel version by holding shif | 20:45 |
| hikenboot | fabiobik: you would have the most luck in #debian | 20:46 |
| coz_ | fabiobik, but its likely you would get more information on t his in #debian than here | 20:46 |
| hikenboot | there's an echo in here | 20:46 |
| coz_ | fabiobik, they would have more resources to deal with debian specific issues than we would | 20:46 |
| pnjh | there's an echo in here | 20:46 |
| fabiobik | okay | 20:46 |
| fabiobik | coz_, thks anyway | 20:47 |
| hikenboot | ok I found a usb installer never mind and thanks | 20:47 |
| coz_ | fabiobik, no problem,,, next time dont say it's debian un less it's absolutely necessary,,, however,, debian uses "stable" libraries and would know more about how to solve this than this channel as I mentioned | 20:47 |
| fabiobik | coz_, sure | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | coz_: It | 20:48 |
| wh1zz0 | coz_: Sup... thanks for the other day.. I now have the effects working perfectly, was too scared to try the cube | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | coz_: ... It's dishonest to waste peoples time by lying about which distribution you are using. Please don't suggest that people do so. | 20:49 |
| coz_ | wh1zz0, excellent :) | 20:49 |
| wh1zz0 | coz_: Buh I have the fire burn working perfectly | 20:49 |
| coz_ | Jordan_U, yes I thought that would be an issue ,, thanks for pointing that out | 20:49 |

| Jordan_U | Enissay: Why do you need to share the internet connection? How are you trying to connect the Ubuntu machine to the Windows machine? | 20:53 |
| nucc1 | coz_, got it | 20:53 |
| nucc1 | thanks | 20:53 |
| coz_ | nucc1, no problem | 20:53 |
| eein | from what i see /etc/resolv.conf gets overwritten by the dhcp leasing server | 20:53 |
| Enissay | Jordan_U, there's a mac adress filter, so I can only access to the internet using my ubuntu! | 20:54 |
| Enissay | & I want to share the connection using a wire... I just bought one (cross over cable) | 20:56 |
| guntbert | Uno_: why don't you ask in #xchat? | 20:56 |
| Uno_ | #xchat | 20:57 |
| Uno_ | I didn't know a channel as such existed, sorry | 20:57 |
| Jordan_U | Enissay: Then create the shared connection on the Wired interface. The video isn't directly applicable to your situation but it shows the conecept and I expect you'll be able to figure out how to share to ethernet rather than wireless on your own. If not, feel free to ask further questions though :) | 20:58 |

| B0g4r7 | OK, here's another one. Say I execute 'sudo foo > bar', why does bar end up owned by the user ant not by root? | 21:08 |
| Jordan_U | lindi-: They should not work without admin privileges but when followed from a liveCD environment no password will be asked. Have you seen anyone have problems following the directions because they don't mention entering your password? | 21:09 |
| lindi- | B0g4r7: ">" is managed by your shell before sudo is even executed | 21:09 |
| Enissay | Jordan_U, well, I'll do it using synaptic | 21:09 |
| lindi- | Jordan_U: no, I'm just trying to understand how this works | 21:09 |
| B0g4r7 | So, uh, what's a proper way to have bar be written by root? | 21:09 |
| Jordan_U | Enissay: It depends on how you "fired" network-manager. If you just removed the package then re-installing it should get it back. | 21:09 |

| Jordan_U | !hostname | B0g4r7 | 21:10 |
| ubottu | B0g4r7: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 21:10 |

| Rickard42 | anyone able to help me? | 21:13 |
| Jordan_U | robin0800: #ubuntu-devel is for discussion between those developing Ubuntu itself, the topic specifically states that it is not for those just looking to develop software for Ubuntu. | 21:14 |

| === Pleuguin is now known as Pleuguin_ | ||
| Jordan_U | Rickard42: I would recommend doing a normal Ubuntu install rather than using a persistant Live install. | 21:15 |
| IWantFroyo | Rickard42, Are you sure it isn't talking about the Ubuntu / partition? You might want to manually edit the partitions yourself, filling up the rest of the space with /home. | 21:15 |
| Jordan_U | Rickard42: Among other things Live installs, even persistant ones, cannot be properly updated. | 21:16 |
| Rickard42 | I don't know; but without a persistant file, i won't be able to save changes or? | 21:16 |
| Marcel | Alright maybe someone has this same issue as me | 21:16 |
| Marcel | I am just trying to get ubuntu live to boot off a usb drive | 21:16 |
| Rickard42 | It's rather confusing | 21:16 |
| Jordan_U | !details | Marcel | 21:17 |
| ubottu | Marcel: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:17 |
| Marcel | ive tried this, format to fat32, then used various suggested program(on windows), to install live cd to the usb for booting | 21:17 |
| Matty502 | I have an issue, want details of it? | 21:18 |
| Matty502 | Did you use unetbootin? | 21:18 |
| Marcel | usb-creator, unetbootin, universal usb installer | 21:18 |
| Matty502 | That's what I used | 21:18 |
| Marcel | The one time I was able to get it to boot, it did something very funky | 21:18 |
| Matty502 | I had some funky results for a while | 21:19 |
| Marcel | It paused on a line that started with "Net:" for several minutes | 21:19 |
| Matty502 | I think I tried Live and it didn't work | 21:19 |
| Matty502 | Try another type | 21:19 |
| Marcel | which do you suggest? | 21:19 |
| Rickard42 | Ahhhhh........... ......crap......... ...darn floody channel............ | 21:19 |
| Matty502 | What are your options? | 21:19 |
| Chotaz | for some reason ubuntu 9.04 isnt detecting a usb flash drive I've just plugged in | 21:19 |
| Jordan_U | Marcel: Please write your entire comment in one line rather than splitting it up into multiple comments. It's difficult to follow otherwise. | 21:19 |
| Jordan_U | Chotaz: Ubuntu 9.04 is no longer supported. Please Upgrade. | 21:20 |
| Chotaz | Jordan_U: no channel for older support? | 21:21 |
| Marcel | I'm using 11.04 desktop amd64 iso image trying to make it boot from a usb drive, followed the wiki and various other sources one at a time, have had no luck. The one time I was able to get it to boot no applications would launch(Install-ubuntu would not open either). | 21:21 |
| erkan^ | !gnome-do | 21:21 |
| Jordan_U | Chotaz: Correct. Why not upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 or 11.04? | 21:21 |
| Jordan_U | Marcel: How much RAM do you have? | 21:21 |
| Marcel | 4gb | 21:22 |
| Chotaz | Jordan_U: because I'm just running ubuntu to try to reformat a flash drve I'm having trouble acessing due to being formated in a mac specific partition I believe | 21:22 |
| Matty502 | Marcel: Live will download from the internet as you're installing, iirc. There's a better option while you're putting it onto the flash, though I don't remember which one. | 21:23 |
| Jordan_U | Chotaz: Unfortunately 9.04 is simply not supported here. | 21:23 |
| stwange | next question, does anyone know how to export the current monitor configuration to something I could run as a bash script? Ubuntu has an annoying habit of resetting it about 2 minutes after logging in | 21:23 |
| stwange | ignore the next question part, that was pasted :) | 21:23 |
| Marcel | Matty502: well i think that one is called minimal | 21:23 |
| Chotaz | Jordan_U: thanks for the help tho, I'm gonna search for my 11.04 CD and boot from ti then I'll be back again :) I jsut grabbed the first I found : | 21:24 |
| Chotaz | :) | 21:24 |
| Matty502 | I don't remember minimal being an option, Marcel | 21:24 |
| Marcel | minimal is the one that downloads from the internet | 21:24 |
| Jordan_U | Marcel: Did you verify the md5sum of the iso? Are you sure that the flash drive is good? | 21:25 |
| Marcel | ive tried 2 seperate drives, not sure how i would verify the drives are fine | 21:26 |
| Jordan_U | Marcel: If you have the same problem with multiple drives then that's not likely the problem. Did you verify the iso? | 21:26 |

| propman | DeltaEpsilon: should be able to by using the profile parameter firefox -P <profile name> or firefox -ProfileManager. see firefox --help | 21:34 |
| jrib | s5s: right, I was going to say that installing the -dev package you mentioned earlier should drop the files in /usr/include/curl | 21:34 |

| usr13 | javier_: Are you using a proxy server? | 21:48 |
| javier_ | no | 21:48 |
| javier_ | usr13: no, I'm not | 21:49 |
| Jordan_U | Chotaz: None of the drives listed there seem to be using an Apple Partition Map so I think you can rule out that being the problem. | 21:49 |
| Jordan_U | Chotaz: Does the drive you're interested in appear to be listed there? | 21:49 |
| Chotaz | Jordan_U: yes, it is that SanDisk Cruzer with 16GB I believe | 21:50 |
| Chotaz | Jordan_U: I rather sure because its the only 16GB flash drive listed there. | 21:50 |

| ksx4system | can i securely disable ATA/ATAPI/MFM while compiling a kernel? i want to run it on my netbook, 100% sata based | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | Chotaz: Parted wasn't able to detect any filesystem on the partition on that drive. Parted understands hfsplus (used by OSX) and most other filesystems so that most likely means that there isn't a valid filesystem there. Could it or the partition table have been corrupted somehow? | 21:51 |

| javier_ | i was looking for that. But only thing I find is the opposite, work online, but it's disabled and can't use it | 21:54 |
| Jordan_U | Chotaz: When did you last use the drive? If it's just a problem with the partition table then testdisk might be able to fix it, and if not then photorec (which comes with the testdisk package) may still be able to recover some files. | 21:54 |
| ppetraki | ksx4system, pretty sure SATA depends on that support, so no. | 21:54 |

| thomasj73 | So, I guess my question is, can I do sudo apt-get remove Unity | sudo apt-get install Unity to repair my unity shell? | 22:26 |
| Jordan_U | thomasj73: Try "unity --reset". | 22:26 |
| thomasj73 | Jordan_U, I tried that, it gets to a certain point and hangs forever | 22:27 |
| thomasj73 | Jordan_U, Do I have to be logged into or out of the session I am trying to repair? | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | thomasj73: I would expect that you'd need to be in the session you're trying to repair. And the command is expected to "hang" as unity will continue running. | 22:28 |
| thomasj73 | Jordan_U, Ok, I will have to try to get into term in the Shell, I have no menu's, no icons, not anything. All I can do is ctrl+alt+del | 22:29 |

| Marcel | im learning how to compile the linux kernel and install it along with a bootloader(grub2) from scratch, fun stuff | 22:34 |
| _cb | javier_ sorry, no. I suspect that your hunch about wicd is correct. Probably something there is leading evolution to believe it is not connected. One other place to check is edit->preferences->network | 22:34 |

| urist_ | hi... I am new to ubuntu and I'm currently looking for an open source tracking software for videos. Basically I work in a behavioral psychology lab and we do a lot of watching animals move in mazes and things like that, but I would be much happier if a lot of this information could be automated | 22:58 |
| urist_ | does anyone know of any application that does something along those lines? | 22:59 |
| test34 | urist_, you are looking for more then just motion detection? | 22:59 |
| urist_ | yeah, something that could detect where an animal is at different points in time | 23:00 |
| qin | Monotoko: Stay. | 23:00 |
| Monotoko | quin, thank you! :) | 23:00 |
| urist_ | even better if it could tell body orientation and things like that | 23:00 |
| test34 | urist_, sorry cant help.. | 23:00 |
| urist_ | yeah. something tells me there is probably not enough people interested in such app to warrant writing something like that | 23:01 |
| urist_ | I figured with a lot of attention now with kinetic and those other video trackers there may be something available for linux | 23:02 |
| qin | urist_: This reminds me someones python script for puplis tracking. | 23:02 |
| test34 | urist_, but it should be fairly easy to write something using OpenCV: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/ | 23:02 |
| urist_ | i'll take a look | 23:02 |
| urist_ | my programming skills are rather undevelopped but I'm always up to challenges | 23:03 |
| fishscene | Microsoft Kinect for the 360? | 23:03 |
| urist_ | fishscene, yeah somehting along those lines | 23:03 |
| urist_ | it would be similar technology | 23:03 |
| urist_ | probably even simpler really | 23:03 |
| test34 | you need only 2D right? | 23:03 |
| urist_ | yeah only 2d | 23:04 |
| urist_ | usually we can track animals from above | 23:04 |
| test34 | kinect would be overkill but if there is an existing app it might be worth it | 23:04 |
| urist_ | yeah, I've used apps on windows but they tend to cost 9-10k for something basic | 23:05 |
| urist_ | if you want multiple tracking they can easy get up to 20k | 23:05 |
| grillermo | i got two screens(extended desktop) and the second is widescreen standing on its side, so i told ubuntu that its vertical, it works fine, but the wallpaper area of the first horizontal smaller one, goes all the way down to the size of the vertical one | 23:06 |
| grillermo | the problem is, that the icons in my desktop go to the hidden area | 23:06 |
| test34 | urist_, do you need muiltiple tracking? can they cross paths? | 23:08 |
| urist_ | i dont need multiple tracking but it would be nice, no they wouldn't cross paths if I did | 23:08 |
| urist_ | usually the need for multiple tracking comes from using one camera to monitor 4-8 animals at once | 23:09 |
| test34 | in separate mazes ? | 23:09 |
| urist_ | but each animal is confined to a closed arena | 23:09 |

| rulhop | vojure: have you tried twitter-cmdline? | 23:37 |
| zykotick9 | rawfodog, i have no idea about 11.04 specifically (never used it), but I'd recommend you try and find a version of sdlmame for ubuntu, xmame is no longer supported. Good luck. | 23:37 |
| vojure | rulhop: no haven't tried it, any good? | 23:38 |
| erez_ | so.. | 23:38 |
| rawfodog | k thanks zykotick9 | 23:38 |
| rulhop | vojure: i haven't tried it, just read about it | 23:38 |
| erez_ | i try to get alsa and pulseaudio to work | 23:38 |
| erez_ | i hear sound only from hydrogen.. | 23:38 |
| erez_ | so i followed this guide.. | 23:39 |
| BarkingFish | Does ubottu have any information about where logs are kept for different things? | 23:39 |
| vojure | rulhop: thanks, i'll check it out | 23:39 |
| BarkingFish | I've just had a major system crash which I want to pastebin the stack from, and don't know where to find the stack | 23:39 |
| erez_ | and after trying to open "default sound card" without success i figured out that the files are empty | 23:40 |
| erez_ | both $ asoundconf and asoundrc | 23:40 |
| erez_ | why? and how to make my sound work? i'm using ubuntu 11.04 | 23:41 |
| erez_ | i better off configuring oss? | 23:41 |
| ChogyDan | erez_: I think those programs are for alsa. Ubuntu uses pulseaudio | 23:42 |
| gentoo-intel | afaik ubuntu dont even support oss any more | 23:42 |
| erez_ | ? | 23:42 |
| erez_ | anyone? | 23:42 |
| gentoo-intel | you dont need asoundrc btw | 23:42 |
| gentoo-intel | unless you confged it | 23:42 |
| gentoo-intel | what does the volume levels look like in alsamixer? | 23:43 |
| fr0sted | hey all | 23:47 |
| fr0sted | anyone use a dock with ubuntu ? | 23:47 |
| erez_ | can i use only pulse audio without alsa? | 23:47 |
| gentoo-intel | no | 23:47 |
| gentoo-intel | have you checked alsamixer | 23:47 |
| jeeves_moss | what package has starutil in it? I can't find it. | 23:48 |
| zykotick9 | jeeves_moss, i don't find a starutil for ubuntu/debian either. Good luck. | 23:52 |
| danhorniblow | Hey people! | 23:52 |
| jeeves_moss | zykotick9, thanks. I think it's for another OS control, it's for the RadiusManager package. | 23:52 |
| zykotick9 | jeeves_moss, do you know what startos is? I've never heard of it, but it "appears" that perhaps where it's from | 23:53 |
| rampage73 | have a ubuntu 11.04 Question, has anyone figured out how to rotate the touch input with the screen | 23:53 |
| jeeves_moss | zykotick9, no idea. as I said, it's a built in thing for RadiusManager | 23:53 |
| danhorniblow | Hi, I am having problems accessing my ubuntu server via ssh, using sshfs from an ubuntu client, error "read: Connection reset by peer". Has anyone ever come across this before? | 23:54 |
| rampage73 | oh sorry forgot to mention that i have an acer iconia tab w500 not running windows! | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | danhorniblow, does Gnome's SSH connection work? Places / Server / select SSH | 23:55 |
| djjonex | hello everybody | 23:56 |
| danhorniblow | I can ssh to my server with no problems, but I want to mount a directory that is on the server to my client using sshfs but it just give me the error "read: Connection reset by peer". | 23:56 |
| g0dzilla | i think i was targeted by someone thru irc chatroom. Any way to confirm if my laptop was compromised? | 23:57 |
| djjonex | i have a windows computer with bad hard drive but the restore partition is fine... how i can export that? | 23:57 |
| g0dzilla | it was automatically shutdown two times! | 23:57 |
| gentoo-intel | g0dzilla, check auth.log maybe | 23:58 |
| gentoo-intel | do you run ssh? | 23:58 |
| g0dzilla | no | 23:58 |
| gentoo-intel | i doubt you were hacked | 23:59 |
| gentoo-intel | maybe its dodgy hardware? | 23:59 |
| g0dzilla | i dont think! | 23:59 |
| g0dzilla | shall i share auth.log ? | 23:59 |
| gentoo-intel | read it yourself lol | 23:59 |
