| ionite | what does this means? Cannot get the exclusive lock on the packaging backend. Please close any other legacy packaging t | 00:22 |
| phong_ | i want ubuntu to start with realvnc running | 00:22 |
| ikonia | phong_: what application do you want to start ? | 00:22 |
| crash1hd | ok is gddrescue gui based or still shell | 00:22 |
| rampage73 | hidnshadows, what kind of laptop? | 00:22 |
| phong_ | example: blabla | 00:22 |
| ikonia | phong_: you would need to run that in daemon mode and use an "init script" to start with upstart when the machine boots | 00:22 |
| phong_ | ikonia, i'm noob show me | 00:22 |
| phong_ | let say i have app name iis "blabla" | 00:23 |

| ikonia | phong_: it's quite complex, the easy cheeat would be to put it in the file /etc/rc.local | 00:23 |
| Yngvi | Hey Guys!! | 00:23 |
| phong_ | put what? | 00:23 |
| ikonia | phong_: the startup options for vnc | 00:23 |
| rampage73 | ikonia, just curious are you an acer iconia tab expert? if so I have a question | 00:24 |
| ikonia | rampage73: no | 00:24 |
| tanath | i got an error that says "error reading pidfile!" but i don't know what it's from... | 00:24 |
| phong_ | ikonia, come on, that is a text file.. has the 'exit 0' | 00:24 |
| rampage73 | ikonia, ok thanks | 00:24 |
| phong_ | what do i put there? | 00:25 |
| ikonia | phong_: correct, it's a text file, where if you put the startup options for vnc in, it will get executed at startup | 00:25 |
| phong_ | put the path to it? | 00:25 |
| ikonia | phong_: that works, | 00:25 |

| edbian | tanath: What are you running? Nothing? | 00:32 |
| tanath | edbian, popped up on login | 00:32 |
| tanath | edbian, only other clue is that gnome-settings-daemon isn't working | 00:33 |
| tanath | edbian, i suppose it could be that, but how can i determine if that's the case? there must be some way to determine which process a window belongs to | 00:34 |
| edbian | tanath: strange... | 00:34 |
| Yngvi | Qual distribuição vocẽs usam? | 00:34 |
| edbian | tanath: you can start killing processes (listed in ps -e) and see which one makes the window disappear | 00:34 |
| jmsfnch | . | 00:35 |
| edbian | tanath: For every processes (with a process id) there is a file that represents that process ID. | 00:35 |
| tanath | edbian, i killed gnome-settings-daemon (my only suspect) and the window is still there... | 00:35 |

| ionite | xangua: what's the primary difference between gnome and kde? | 00:55 |
| xangua | aaah....all the ui¿ | 00:55 |
| IdleOne | the primary difference is that they are different also this is not the proper channel to ask in. | 00:56 |
| dooglus | typically KDE has a lot of configurable options, whereas GNOME treats you like a child and gives you the settings it knows are best for you | 00:56 |
| IdleOne | see !ot | 00:56 |
| BrandonBolton | ionite: That is like asking what is the different between English and Russian. It is different layouts and such. | 00:57 |
| dooglus | BrandonBolton: and the 'R's are backwards | 00:57 |
| ionite | BrandonBolton: but gnome is said to be more restrictive? | 00:57 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 00:57 |

| F1skr | thanks | 01:01 |
| zetec452 | For a alpha build it seems solid. Upgraded my laptop from 11.04 to 11.10 and everything is running ok. | 01:02 |
| zetec452 | GUI seems a little snappier too. | 01:02 |
| test34 | ubuntu erased one of my partition when I rebooted.. I had the encrypted swap and one of my drive switch from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb and it started to use a data partition as a swap partition even if the partition type was not swap... | 01:02 |
| IdleOne | zetec452: discussion and some support for 11.10 is in #ubuntu+1 | 01:02 |
| zetec452 | Oh, ok. Cheers. I'll hop over there. | 01:02 |
| Schala | Next month I'm gonna miss the classic theme.... Unity's launcher is very inefficient right now in Natty | 01:03 |
| Schala | and the mac-like menu bars | 01:03 |
| tensorpudding | Schala: inefficient how? | 01:04 |
| tensorpudding | when you know what you're looking for, it's even easier to find than before | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | i just use one of the classic type gnome menu indicator-applets or tools :) | 01:05 |
| Schala | well before going back to classic I found myself having to type in search for apps I wanted to use, and I really hate pinning stuff to launchers... especially this one because it gives invisible icons when I try it | 01:05 |
| jmsfnch | When you don't know what you're looking for, it can be a bit of a mind game... | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | some apps launch oddly. so dont pin very well. | 01:06 |
| tensorpudding | it's not a mind game | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | noticed that with some java apps | 01:06 |
| tensorpudding | it's just a bit more clicking | 01:06 |
| Schala | funny... I'd assume this would make it easier | 01:06 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | I was wondering if someone could help me configure a 16GB thumb drive that I have been having issues with. It's a PNY flash drive. I can't copy-and-paste or save anything to it. I don't think owner permissions for it are set. How do I change this? | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis | wsbl-uhpd651: what filesystem is on the thumbdrive? | 01:07 |
| Schala | for me it just seems Unity did to Ubuntu what the Ribbon did to Windows menu bars | 01:07 |
| zykotick9 | Schala, i like that analogy BUT your feelings about Unity or OT in this channel | 01:08 |
| Schala | ok | 01:08 |
| Schala | sorry | 01:08 |
| Schala | will there be like a Gnubuntu or something when Unity takes over entirely? | 01:09 |
| Schala | for GNOME stuff? | 01:09 |
| Dr_Willis | unity runs on top of gnome... | 01:09 |
| th0r | Schala: I would expect xubuntu and lubuntu to continue, and you will probably be able to install gnome off them from the repos | 01:09 |
| Schala | hmm... well then will 11.10 allow disability of unity? | 01:10 |
| ChogyDan | Schala: there was a project for that on launchpad, but I dont know if it will gain traction | 01:10 |
| Schala | hmm | 01:10 |
| zykotick9 | Schala, 11.10 won't have classic | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Schala: just selet somthing else at the Login screen. one you instll somthing else. :) | 01:10 |
| Schala | something else being like... a different theme like KDE/Xfce? | 01:11 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Dr_Willis: ext4, which is what is should be (ideally), right? | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | wsbl-uhpd651: when using ext2.3.4 or other fs that support linux permissions/ownership. you must chown/chmod the files the same asyou would on thehard drive. | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | wsbl-uhpd651: if your owner cant access the files. fix the ownership or modes. | 01:12 |
| Schala | Dr_Willis: do you mean like KDE or Xfce? | 01:14 |

| Schala | I don't even know how to modify permissions for /var/www so I can put my web server to use | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Schala: short answer for that is.. you dont. You use the groups feature to add the users you need to the right group to have permissions to alter those files | 01:19 |
| CheckMate21 | xangua: this feature seems to be ok in Chrome oddly enough | 01:19 |

| princej88 | okay so my router is running out of ports on the back and I have gotten a cheap five port switch. | 01:40 |
| princej88 | Lets say I connect two servers to this switch. How would the ip addresses work for accessing each seperate one. | 01:40 |
| === latta is now known as jelatta | ||

| HisRoyalFreshnes | bobweaver the guy's suggesting I kill puseaudio, right? The problems started when I installed ALSA via a script I found on the forum, so I'm thinking that killing ALSA would be more helpful | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | pulse audio runs on top of alsa. | 01:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Killing alsa = no sound. | 01:55 |
| Schala | I think starting with 11.10 I'll use Kubuntu | 01:55 |
| Dr_Willis | HisRoyalFreshnes: why did you mess with alsa in the first place? | 01:55 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | All I know is that it started with ALSA | 01:55 |
| xangua | HisRoyalFreshnes: following ghides from 3 years ago is never any good | 01:55 |
| xangua | guides* | 01:55 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | Dr_Willis: trying to get pSX working, it's part of what it demands I have | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | even guides written for an earlier release is not a good idea. | 01:56 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | I'm on PCXR now though, so that's not necessary | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | HisRoyalFreshnes: alsa is allready there by default.. so the whole things sounds odd... | 01:56 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | Would it help if I showed you where I got the script from? | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | that script could have done all sorts of weird things. best bet would be to reinstall. unless the script has some sort of undo option. | 01:57 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | You mean a complete wipe? | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | you can always keep your home somewhere... | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | reinstall = reinstall the os... | 01:57 |
| bobweaver | what about adding the repo that action partnership wrote about ? | 01:58 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | It'd format before reinstalling, right? | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | HisRoyalFreshnes: yes.. thts normally how its done. | 01:58 |

| HisRoyalFreshnes | Do you know how hard it is to start up Ubuntu as a Linux nub? | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Its possible you might be able to fix your alsa issues.. but i doubt if anyone is going to spend a lot of time debugging what that scropt might have done.. | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | HisRoyalFreshnes: rather trivial really... | 02:00 |
| HisRoyalFreshnes | Maybe to you | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | you are a 'nub' but you decided to use some script to alter a core part of the OS... | 02:00 |

| urlin2u | powering | 02:22 |
| hemiweiser | bobweaver: i click the link and all it does is bring me to a picture, i click the picture and it just brings me back to the redhate webpage. Should i search for the file the link is refering to? | 02:22 |
| bobweaver | hemiweiser: yes | 02:22 |
| matt__ | Yeah, I can get to the boot menu of my motherboard. But the only option there is Windows 7 (the disc isn't there) | 02:22 |
| bobweaver | hemiweiser: looks like alot of people have fixed with that | 02:22 |

| stephenmac7 | Hold down 'c' when booting | 02:23 |
| matt__ | tried that. | 02:23 |
| stephenmac7 | Do you have rEFIt? | 02:24 |
| Jordan_U | matt__: Next time start with that information, they tend to be odd. There is a +mac iso specifically for intel macs. | 02:24 |
| matt__ | That works with the official OSX install cd but not with the ubuntu one | 02:24 |

| bobweaver | hemiweiser: I will look | 02:24 |
| stephenmac7 | Jordan_U: Well, I have successfully used an AMD64 iso (regular) CD (not DVD) on a MAC | 02:25 |
| stephenmac7 | using rEFIt | 02:25 |
| bobweaver | hemiweiser: chilli55 is a friend of mine and that is one smart dude when it comes to wireless | 02:25 |
| matt__ | @stephen: I've got refit on here. Holding down alt or c does nothing | 02:25 |
| matt__ | actually, I worded that wrong. | 02:26 |
| hemiweiser | okay awesome, i was trying to download it but my wifi was terrible, should i pase uname -a in pastebin? | 02:26 |
| stephenmac7 | matt__: What are the options there in rEFIt? | 02:26 |
| matt__ | Just booting into OSX | 02:26 |
| stephenmac7 | matt__: Is your mac oldish or new? | 02:26 |
| matt__ | new | 02:26 |
| bobweaver | g5 ? | 02:26 |
| bobweaver | ibook ? | 02:26 |
| Jordan_U | stephenmac7: It will fail with the normal Ubuntu iso because the normal Ubuntu iso has EFI support (yes, I said exactly what I meant): http://askubuntu.com/questions/37999/what-is-different-about-the-mac-iso-image | 02:26 |
| stephenmac7 | Snow Leopard, Leopard, Tiger, or Panther | 02:26 |
| matt__ | that's pretty strange | 02:27 |
| stephenmac7 | Jordan_U: It didn't for me... iMac + Leopard | 02:27 |
| stephenmac7 | ...or Lion | 02:27 |
| matt__ | but the thing is I tried to put the DVD with the *standard* ubuntu .iso in my desktop (which is a regular pc) and it still didn't work | 02:27 |
| bobweaver | matt__: slow down dont panic | 02:28 |
| stephenmac7 | bobweaver: He shows no sign of panic :D | 02:28 |
| Jordan_U | stephenmac7: Interesting. That would be good information for the Ubuntu developers to know. Is it a relatively new mac? What version of Ubuntu? | 02:28 |
| stephenmac7 | matt__: You didn't answer my question: What model and what OS? | 02:28 |
| matt__ | @Stephen: Sorry. It's a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard. So basically brand new. | 02:29 |
| stephenmac7 | Jordan_U: iMac... not sure what exact generation/model and Ubuntu 11.04 (UNITY) | 02:29 |
| Jordan_U | matt__: Did you burn the iso as am image or did you just burn a DVD with the .iso file as a file on that DVD? | 02:29 |
| jmsfnch | OT_iux: Have you tried slicing the file up? "head -c 10000 file > shortfile" and opening the smaller of the two? | 02:29 |
| matt__ | @Jordan: I just put the .iso as a file on the dvd | 02:29 |
| bobweaver | matt__: this is what I do when a cd wont work.make sure I an downloading the right version look at md5sum # make sure it is good then burn a new one at slower speeds | 02:29 |
| stephenmac7 | matt__: Have you tried your DVD on a regular computer? | 02:29 |
| Jordan_U | matt__: That's not the proper way to make a bootable CD. | 02:29 |
| matt__ | @stephen yeah it didn't work, and I think jordan figured it out | 02:30 |
| OT_iux | jmsfnch: thank you, i'm now trying that... | 02:30 |
| Jordan_U | matt__: Follow the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 02:30 |
| stephenmac7 | matt__: It's done in the mac :) | 02:30 |
| bobweaver | matt__: also with what everyone else is saying it is also good to look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 02:31 |
| Jordan_U | matt__: And use this iso (If you want Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit): http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64+mac.iso | 02:31 |
| stephenmac7 | matt__: I forgot you created your DVD/CD in Windows 7. Also, it would be nice if you stayed consistant about DVD and CD | 02:31 |
| matt__ | Will do. | 02:31 |
| stephenmac7 | matt__: Well, good luck. | 02:32 |
| stephenmac7 | matt__: I was about to say it could have been a problem of the usage of the CD | 02:32 |
| stephenmac7 | *DVD | 02:32 |
| matt__ | @Jordan: Thanks, I feel like an idiot. :D I'll probably be back here later because there's no way in hell installing anything non-apple on a Mac will go smoothly | 02:32 |

| placer14 | standby | 02:49 |
| stephenmac7_ | bobweaver: Am I doing something wrong? | 02:49 |
| bobweaver | stephenmac7_: :) | 02:49 |
| bobweaver | no | 02:49 |
| rectec794613 | urlin2u: ok, but this all happened out of nowhere | 02:49 |
| bobweaver | stephenmac7_: do you have to install deselect ? | 02:50 |
| stephenmac7_ | bobweaver: It seems | 02:50 |
| stephenmac7_ | :D | 02:50 |
| urlin2u | rectec794613, you read both links in 1 min. | 02:50 |
| rectec794613 | urlin2u: it would be nice if you could give me a specific page with the same issue and solution as the one i'm having | 02:50 |
| thevinci | excuse me, I'm looking for some help updating GRUB to GRUB2 | 02:50 |
| stephenmac7_ | Back to good old compile :) | 02:50 |
| stephenmac7_ | ...or I could reinstall the whole OS | 02:50 |
| urlin2u | rectec794613, that would be nice now wouldn't it. | 02:51 |
| bobweaver | stephenmac7_: or replace dpkg ? | 02:51 |
| stephenmac7_ | bobweaver: How? | 02:51 |
| rectec794613 | urlin2u: I skimmed. don't blame me, I have no idea what my problem is | 02:51 |
| urlin2u | rectec794613, what makes you think IO know one beyond the bots suggestions | 02:51 |
| thevinci | I've gotten as far as installing GRUB2 and it will chainload from GRUB to GRUB2 | 02:51 |
| stephenmac7_ | bobweaver: This is for someone else, not me. | 02:51 |
| stephenmac7_ | bobweaver: This computer is NOT mine | 02:51 |
| bobweaver | oh | 02:51 |
| thevinci | but I want to get rid of GRUB(1) alltogether | 02:51 |
| bobweaver | stephenmac7_: clients ? | 02:52 |
| urlin2u | thevinci, whats the OS? | 02:52 |
| thevinci | Ubuntu Hardy Heron | 02:52 |
| stephenmac7_ | It needs to run smoothly or the person I'm doing it for (No, relatives) will hate linux, for he is already skeptical | 02:52 |
| thevinci | I've tried the command 'update-from-grub-legacy' | 02:52 |
| urlin2u | thevinci, end of life a waste of time unless that is your only choice. | 02:52 |
| placer14 | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684924/ | 02:52 |
| xangua | thevinci: upgrade to lucid and you'll get grub2 ;) | 02:52 |
| bobweaver | stephenmac7_: did you look at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/dpkg/master/files/head:/debian/ | 02:52 |
| placer14 | bobweaver: You are an animal, sir. Thank you for your help. | 02:53 |
| stephenmac7_ | bobweaver: What about it? | 02:53 |
| thevinci | ugh, I know, as well as the tabbed file browsing that I miss so much! | 02:53 |
| urlin2u | thevinci, the servers still covered though. | 02:53 |
| stephenmac7_ | bobweaver: You want me to install it from source? | 02:53 |
| thevinci | I'm on an old a$$ laptop though | 02:53 |
| rectec794613 | urlin2u: no offense, but could you please assist me in troubleshooting this so I can find out what page I need to devote my time to, instead of sending me generic sound troubleshooting links? | 02:53 |
| bobweaver | placer14: rfkill unblock all | 02:53 |
| bobweaver | stephenmac7_: if need be | 02:53 |
| placer14 | bobweaver: Note that it had b43 and ssd loaded before I loaded ndiswrapper | 02:53 |
| stephenmac7_ | I think it would be easier to reinstall ubuntu | 02:53 |
| placer14 | bobweaver: Done. Should I reload b43 and ssd? | 02:54 |
| === stephenmac7_ is now known as stephenmac7 | ||
| urlin2u | rectec794613, demanding from a user who has stated they don't know makes no sense. | 02:54 |
| thevinci | I had lucid on here for a little while, but it was pretty slow | 02:54 |
| bobweaver | placer14: sudo apt-get install b43fwcutter firware-b43-installer | 02:54 |
| bobweaver | placer14: sudo rmmod ndiswrapper | 02:55 |
| thevinci | and I've tried updating from 8.04 to 8.10, but it can't find the server, can I skip 8.10 and jump right to 9.04? | 02:55 |
| thevinci | without a fresh install? | 02:55 |
| IdleOne | !eol | 02:55 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 02:55 |
| bobweaver | then sudo modprobe b43 | 02:55 |
| stephenmac7 | Did someone say something? | 02:55 |
| urlin2u | rectec794613, took you a min tolook at the links chill out and adjust your attitude. | 02:55 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: you want to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 02:55 |
| placer14 | bobweaver: Verify you meant sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer | 02:56 |
| stephenmac7 | internet went out again... | 02:56 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: never mind me. | 02:56 |
| rectec794613 | urlin2u: I'm lost. | 02:56 |
| thevinci | thanks IdleOne, i've been there before though | 02:56 |
| rectec794613 | urlin2u: my sound just quit for no reason, this has never happened to me before. | 02:56 |
| thevinci | i can't remember the specific error I get though | 02:56 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: you can go from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS TO LTS | 02:57 |
| stephenmac7 | bobweaver: I think I'll reinstall | 02:57 |
| urlin2u | rectec794613, I have never had a sound problem, so I have no answers. | 02:57 |
| stephenmac7 | I'll tell you what happens | 02:57 |
| stephenmac7 | exit | 02:57 |
| thevinci | IdleOne: I'm just worried that my little Presario won't be able to handle 10.04 | 02:58 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: why wouldn't it? | 02:58 |
| thevinci | Cuz its an old laptop? | 02:58 |
| m4xx__ | any ltsp folks in the house? | 02:58 |
| blsh0p | is there a program that will let me download windows programs | 02:58 |
| blsh0p | i want to download alice for ubuntu | 02:58 |
| blsh0p | how would i go about doing this | 02:58 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: ok, so no fancy 3d stuff but it should run fine | 02:59 |
| thevinci | IdleOne: My buddy convinced me that my laptop was running slow before (on 9.04) because it was a recent distro | 02:59 |
| thevinci | so I dropped down to hardy | 02:59 |
| m4xx__ | i've got a full install in a chroot, when i run startx inside the chroot it doesn't capture the keyboard and mouse any ideas how i can achieve this? | 03:00 |
| thevinci | IdleOne: But what you seem to be hinting at is that the release version won't make it run slower unless I have uber fancy compiz settings? | 03:01 |
| rectec794613 | well can somebody read this pastebin and tell me what they think? http://paste.ubuntu.com/684919/ | 03:01 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: might be time to do a clean install, look into Lubuntu it is made for low power machines. | 03:01 |
| blsh0p | is there a program for being able to download windows programs for ubuntu? | 03:01 |
| blsh0p | i want to download alice for ubuntu, what prgram would allow me to do tha | 03:01 |
| thevinci | 8.04 was a clean install. | 03:01 |
| rectec794613 | all of these troubleshooting reccomendation imply that sound was never working before, but it was indeed working fine 10 minutes ago | 03:01 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: right, all the effects will slow it down but the default install shouldn't make it slower | 03:02 |
| thevinci | blsh0p: look for Wine | 03:02 |
| rectec794613 | recommendations* | 03:02 |
| thevinci | IdleOne: hmmmm.... I always suspected that was the case... | 03:02 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: maybe look into Lubuntu | 03:02 |
| thevinci | IdleOne: Does that still use Gnome for a desktop? | 03:03 |
| thevinci | I could just research it on my own... lol | 03:03 |
| bobweaver | thevinci: it uses lxde | 03:03 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: it uses LXDE and yeah :) | 03:03 |
| bobweaver | debian stays the same forever | 03:04 |
| bobweaver | ;) | 03:04 |
| IdleOne | except when it changes | 03:04 |
| bobweaver | IdleOne: :) | 03:04 |
| m4xx__ | anyone? :[ | 03:04 |
| rectec794613 | well I'll restart again and see if that won't fix it. | 03:04 |
| thevinci | IdleOne: Ok, yeah, I looked in to LXDE when I had lucid originally, felt too much like being in windows again... >:( | 03:05 |
| IdleOne | thevinci: unfortunately you have a low powered laptop, some compromises will have to be made. | 03:05 |
| luc_ | hi ndoes anybody know howto mount a iso image with gmount | 03:05 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: why dont you use mount instead? | 03:06 |
| thevinci | IdleOne: I know, I know... | 03:06 |
| luc_ | where is that at | 03:06 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: like "mount /path/to/file.iso /mount-point -o loop" | 03:07 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: just make sure you have "-o loop" | 03:07 |
| luc_ | im new to linux | 03:08 |
| paijem-cantik | i'm too | 03:08 |
| stevecam | is it possible to have shared desktop icons when virtualizing and also have gnome manage my windows in the virtualizer? | 03:09 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: well, do you know mount command? | 03:09 |
| luc_ | no | 03:09 |
| rectec794613 | no dice | 03:09 |
| mike18 | this could be a terrible place to ask this, but not getting help in #curl or #RubyOnRails... i'm attempt to build a curl command that will POST with json and a file. my command is similar to this: curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://myurl.com -u user:pass -d '{"myjson":"json"}' -F "image=@testimage.jpg;type=image/jpeg" and i'm getting Warning: You can only select one HTTP request!. any ideas? i was able to POST in a similar fashing to a d | 03:10 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: In that case, just right-click on iso file, and choose open with Archieves mounter ;) | 03:10 |
| thevinci | rectec794623: try looking at your hardware drivers | 03:11 |
| thevinci | see if there is a restricted driver that got turned off somehow. | 03:11 |

| placer14 | bobweaver: Hey, Bob. Great success! You are a gentleman and scholar. | 03:12 |
| bobweaver | no you are | 03:12 |
| bobweaver | :>) | 03:12 |
| placer14 | No need to sling mud. Just be gracious and accept your appreciation. | 03:12 |
| bobweaver | placer14: I am | 03:13 |
| placer14 | Much obliged. Any way I can help you? | 03:13 |
| rectec794613 | thevinci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/684935/ everything looks in order. don't know about the "is not ours" thing | 03:13 |
| bobweaver | I also think that he is a gentelman and a scholar | 03:13 |
| rectec794613 | i can hear this: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav | 03:13 |
| mike18 | looks like using curl -F and -d is my problem since they specify different HTTP request types. still trying to figure out how to curl and upload a file and some json data | 03:14 |
| rectec794613 | thevinci: i think it's halfway fixed. I can hear sound again, but I can't change the volume | 03:15 |
| luc_ | ok i tried that and i get a error | 03:15 |
| bullgard4_ | '~$ which phpmyadmin' does not produce any output. What is the phpMyAdmin executable? | 03:15 |
| datakid | hola, running 10.04.03 am getting errors on apt upgrade on ldap? I've got smbldap set up, error is: Unknown value for slapd/dump_database: when needed | 03:15 |
| datakid | Please report! | 03:15 |
| thevinci | rectec794613: I think the 'not ours' bit might mean you're not root? idk, never seen that before | 03:16 |
| bullgard4_ | datakid: What is the exact error message? | 03:16 |
| bobweaver | datakid: could we see the whole error in ubuntu.paste.com ? | 03:16 |
| rectec794613 | thevinci: idk I ran the command as root | 03:16 |
| hexacode | hey you guys...i did a sudo apt-get php5 and it says i have the latest one...i did a "service --status-all | 03:16 |
| rectec794613 | thevinci: if theres a certain package for the sound manager I could give a go at reinstalling it | 03:17 |
| hexacode | and i dont even see it | 03:17 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: hmm, I think you should learn mount command then. can you open the terminal please? | 03:17 |
| hexacode | how do i mak it run? | 03:17 |
| hexacode | i dont see it in /etc/init.d either | 03:17 |
| luc_ | ok | 03:17 |
| thevinci | rectec794613: can u not change volume from the GUI? Do you have buttons on your keyboard for it? | 03:17 |
| placer14 | hexacode: PHP doesn't run as a service. | 03:17 |
| hexacode | placer14 /etc/init.d | 03:17 |
| placer14 | hexacode: It runs as a module for apache or lighttpd | 03:17 |
| hexacode | nil | 03:17 |
| datakid | bobweaver, bullgard4 http://paste.ubuntu.com/684938/ | 03:17 |
| placer14 | you would need to install the module for apache or run a script through the interpreter | 03:18 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: now run sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom to create folder /mnt/cdrom | 03:18 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | qin: so after I run "sudo fdisk -l" in Terminal, what command do I enter in next to "use mount point" | 03:18 |
| placer14 | what does `which php` respond with? | 03:18 |
| bobweaver | that looks like an install or upgrade | 03:18 |
| placer14 | or do php -v | 03:18 |
| placer14 | and let me know what version you have | 03:18 |
| rectec794613 | thevinci: the keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore, the only options i have when I click on the now-invisible volume icon in the tray are a grayed out "Mute" and sound preferences | 03:18 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: then run sudo mount /path/to/file.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop | 03:18 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: replace /path/to/file.iso with your own path | 03:18 |
| thevinci | rectec794613: and what are the preferences? | 03:19 |
| hexacode | placer14 no response | 03:19 |
| hexacode | from that which php | 03:19 |
| fluffy | Hello, I'm looking for some support for a bcm4311 | 03:19 |
| bobweaver | datakid: that is also not the whole thing are you sure that that is not a install or upgrade ? | 03:19 |
| bullgard4_ | datakid: This is an error, and you should report it to Launchpad. | 03:19 |
| leftist | how can i switch to mono for vlc anyone? | 03:19 |
| rectec794613 | thevinci: It gives me "Waiting for sound system to respond", remember? | 03:19 |
| hexacode | also, i did a command line install of mod_php5 but it says its already nstalled and says php 5 is aleady installed | 03:19 |
| leftist | my plug is screwed | 03:19 |
| datakid | bobweaver, that's an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade | 03:19 |
| datakid | wihtout the list of packages :) | 03:20 |
| rectec794613 | thevinci: i think alsamixer works | 03:20 |
| fluffy | Can anyone help out with a wireless problem I'm having | 03:20 |
| placer14 | hexacode: well, if you didn't install a zillion copies, sudo apt-get install php5 should do the trick for you | 03:20 |
| bobweaver | fluffy: whats up | 03:20 |
| urlin2u | fluffy, have you looked here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 03:20 |
| leftist | anyone tell me how to switch to mono for vlc? | 03:20 |
| placer14 | hexacode: What packages did you isntall via apt-get? | 03:20 |
| hexacode | placer14 it tells me its the newest version installed already | 03:20 |
| datakid | bullgard4, ok, tx | 03:21 |
| rectec794613 | oh man busy day | 03:21 |
| placer14 | do "sudo updatedb" | 03:21 |
| placer14 | then "locate php" and see if anything comes out. | 03:21 |
| hexacode | placer14 php5 and libapache2-mod-php | 03:21 |
| hexacode | i already have apache going | 03:21 |
| hexacode | so hats fine | 03:21 |
| bullgard4_ | !deails | fluffy | 03:21 |
| hexacode | but i cant get php running | 03:21 |
| bullgard4_ | !details | fluffy | 03:21 |
| ubottu | fluffy: 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 ..." | 03:21 |
| rectec794613 | fluffy: you also might want to read my tutorial here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1837183 | 03:22 |
| hexacode | there a way to manually execute php placer14 ? | 03:22 |
| hexacode | just to turn on the php process itself | 03:22 |
| hexacode | so that apache can start communicating with it | 03:22 |
| placer14 | sure, find where it lives and run it the interpreter directly | 03:22 |
| fluffy | rectec794613, Does that work with 11.04? | 03:22 |
| leftist | nobody is using vlc here? what the fuck | 03:22 |
| hexacode | placer14 that would be a whereis correct? | 03:22 |
| rectec794613 | fluffy: it should. Modules are a kernel-level thing if i'm not mistaken | 03:23 |
| thevinci | rectec794613: Yeah, try selecting alsamixer. right click on the sound icon in the tray>Open Volume Control>File>Change Device, and select the first one. | 03:23 |
| thevinci | rectec794613: Unless thats what you have selected now? | 03:23 |
| hexacode | placer14 im going to try restarting my computer | 03:23 |
| liran | ? | 03:23 |
| fluffy | rectec794613, They are. Let me check. I've installed my wireless card on Ubuntu before, but it's just not taking with 11.04 | 03:23 |
| placer14 | hexacode: I doubt that will help much... | 03:23 |
| hexacode | i havent tried that old trick yet lol | 03:23 |
| hexacode | hmm | 03:23 |
| liran | 这个是什么？ | 03:23 |
| placer14 | if you can't find php, the computer probably won't either. | 03:24 |

| cjs | So, I've seen some FF updates to remove some certs from the trusted list, but not updates for Chrome. Why is that? (I'm on 11.04.) | 03:24 |
| placer14 | normally, I just install "phpmyadmin" package and that brings in all the dependancies to make apache configure and operate with PHP | 03:24 |
| liran | ？？？ | 03:24 |
| fluffy | rectec794613, I'm looking at your page now. | 03:24 |
| hexacode | placer14 i found it but umm hold on lol | 03:24 |
| rectec794613 | fluffy: well read it carefully, this is only sopposed to work with realtek/ralink cards, but it might work with others. even if it breaks something you can reverse it | 03:24 |
| thetrav | just made a fresh install of ubuntu 11 desktop, trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Sun_Java to install sun java, but apt-get can't find the package | 03:24 |

| fluffy | rectec794613, Mind if I PM you? | 03:25 |
| rectec794613 | fluffy: go ahead | 03:25 |
| Stanley00 | thetrav: why dont you search for java in Ubuntu Software Center? | 03:25 |
| urlin2u | wow bcm4311 and a realtec fix, that will be a miracle. | 03:25 |
| Stanley00 | thetrav: I think it's more easier ;) | 03:25 |
| rectec794613 | you still here thevinci? | 03:26 |
| thetrav | Stanley00 searchign for java in the software center only provides openJDK | 03:26 |
| thetrav | I require sun's JDK implementation | 03:26 |
| thetrav | I was under the impression that the deb installers were available from compatible ubuntu repositories | 03:27 |
| liran | What do Chinese people have？ | 03:28 |
| urlin2u | liran, what do you mean? | 03:28 |

| liran | Oh sorry I did not bother us any problems you continue to explore the issues now Oh I do not bother you! | 03:36 |
| urlin2u | tx3, we don't support backtrack, basically. | 03:36 |
| tx3 | i know that | 03:36 |
| tx3 | but i saw people having the same problems on the ubuntu forums | 03:36 |
| tx3 | so i figured id come here for a quicker response | 03:37 |
| bobweaver | tx3: join blackbuntu backtrack-linux | 03:37 |
| urlin2u | !backtrack | tx3 | 03:37 |
| ubottu | tx3: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 03:37 |
| luc_ | cant find command in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 03:37 |

| luc_ | what lines did u tellme some thing else i get diss connected and had to relog on | 03:40 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: oh, I see, the command to mount your iso is "sudo mount /path/to/file.iso /mount-point -o loop" not "mount command" ;) | 03:41 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: replace /path/to/file.iso and /mount-point with your own path | 03:42 |
| tx3 | bobweaver: do you use blackbuntu? | 03:42 |
| luc_ | what is my own path | 03:43 |
| Stanley00 | luc_: where do you store your iso file? | 03:43 |

| yeboot | hi my mic is not working at all | 04:01 |

| wsbl-uhpd651 | urlin2u: OK. That makes more sense. So you were asking if it is was "in solid state"? | 04:02 |
| urlin2u | wsbl-uhpd651, flash drive is used on thumbs hd's and solid state cards, on this channel at times. | 04:02 |

| phenom | That bug report was issued over a year ago, still no fix. | 04:03 |
| BakeR | cant find unmount in the list | 04:03 |
| orlok | Ahh, its an X11 driver issue apparently | 04:03 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | urlin2u: yeah ... it's a thumb drive ... if that answers your question? | 04:03 |
| BakeR | i think i have to make one some how through that | 04:03 |
| BakeR | (eject) is for the disk drives | 04:04 |
| phenom | Where can you go to complain about ubuntu not putting enough time in to fixing bugs it produces with every release? | 04:04 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | urlin2u: I accessed the thumb drive now in Nautilus. I can access and manipulte stuff just fine it seems. How do I change the permission now in here? | 04:04 |
| urlin2u | wsbl-uhpd651, I so it is just read it sounds like I thin you can change the permission from root nautilus, or pul the stuff off and reformat it. | 04:04 |
| BakeR | phenom i agree man | 04:04 |
| urlin2u | wsbl-uhpd651, right click permissions. | 04:05 |
| BakeR | buggy buggy | 04:05 |

| BakeR | they need to fix bugs not create more he he | 04:05 |
| phenom | Every time I install Ubuntu, I get some often bad, bugs. | 04:05 |
| BakeR | yeah eject i think is for the disc drives | 04:06 |
| Stanley00 | BakeR: If you want a stable system, use LTS instead ;) | 04:06 |
| yeboot | can anyone help me my microphone isnt working | 04:06 |
| phenom | BakeR, Don't listen to him hehe, I use LTS and still have all kinds of bugs. | 04:06 |
| phenom | :P | 04:06 |
| usr13 | !lts | 04:06 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 04:06 |
| phenom | Stable and Ubuntu = oxy moron itself. | 04:06 |
| urlin2u | wsbl-uhpd651, go to files-media to get to the properties of that thumb. | 04:07 |
| BakeR | i think he was being sarcastic | 04:07 |
| BakeR | lol | 04:07 |
| Stanley00 | BakeR: hmm, I mean, you can create a custom keyboard shortcut like "Ctrl+U" to run command "umount /media/mount" or some kind of that ;) | 04:07 |
| yeboot | no one can help me | 04:07 |
| phenom | Where do I go to report bugs that haven't been fixed in years? :) | 04:07 |

| phenom | usr13, Have you never had issues after upgrading? | 04:10 |
| somsip | bullgard4_: phpMyAdmin is a web app. It's not executable | 04:10 |
| usr13 | phenom: I dono. I've got a LTS machine that works great. My XYL has a 11.04 Laptop that is humming along just great. Not sure what the problem is but I see a nice stable OS here. | 04:10 |
| urlin2u | phenom, I never upgrade I fresh install, it's faster and can be done with all the apps there. | 04:10 |

| urlin2u | it* | 04:11 |

| urlin2u | phenom, funny many get help here all the time I suspect your methods are flawed. | 04:12 |

| urlin2u | variable, the thumb | 04:12 |
| variable | urlin2u: what thumb? Wrong person / context perhaps? | 04:12 |
| phenom | I started using ubuntu because I was tired of configuring x/sound/wireless etc on Debian boxes etc. That's all I want it to do. | 04:12 |
| phenom | urlin2u, Probably because I know how to mount a harddisk. | 04:13 |
| usr13 | phenom: This is a support channel and there are plenty of people here that are more than willing to share information. Take it if it is useful. That is all they can do for you. | 04:13 |

| bullgard4_ | somsip: You have raised an interesting point, and I need to think longer about it. But your statement is not the whole truth. phpmyadmin is also a DEB program package contining a lot of files. One of its exectuable files is /usr/sbin/pma-configure. | 04:14 |
| usr13 | phenom: I still ask questions and they still answer. So.... | 04:14 |

| variable | urlin2u: Any other ideas of how to get X to recognize the touchpad as well, a touchpad? | 04:16 |

| bullgard4_ | crash1hd: Please do not delet them! | 04:17 |
| bullgard4_ | crash1hd: Please do not delete them! | 04:17 |
| Stanley00 | crash1hd: They're the kernel image and initramdisk, so just leave them along ;) | 04:17 |
| crash1hd | I take it that you mean initrd and vmlinuz what about the .old files? | 04:18 |
| phenom | I have to admit, I imagined I'd have been asked to leave already. :) | 04:18 |

| wsbl-uhpd651 | urlin2u: And yes, I am the "thumb person" :) | 04:19 |
| yeboot | it's stupid someone help | 04:19 |
| phenom | But I do think,,, the best thing that could happen to Ubuntu in it's entirety, is have masses of users flood in here complaining of stability issues. | 04:19 |
| usr13 | phenom: Folks on this channel are very tolerant as far as I can tell. | 04:19 |
| Stanley00 | crash1hd: they're the old vmlinuz and initrd then ;) | 04:19 |
| rww | I think the masses of users should file bug reports, the support helpers are not often developers ;) | 04:20 |
| crash1hd | Stanley00, ok thanks :) so what about cdrom? (I no longer have a cdrom installed, but I might in the future is it needed?) | 04:20 |
| usr13 | they are interested in sharing knowledge and I think that is important to most all linux users. We are pretty darn sure that we have some really great software to work with and are hoping to work together to make it even better. | 04:21 |
| Stanley00 | crash1hd: /cdrom is safe to delete, but it wont take too much space if you leave it there ;) | 04:21 |
| crash1hd | Stanley00, Cool thanks :) you guys are as always very helpful :) | 04:21 |
| Stanley00 | crash1hd: you are welcome ;) | 04:22 |
| usr13 | and the perfect OS does not exist | 04:22 |
| phenom | Put stability first. If Ubuntu doesn't have the leverage to pressure upstream in to fixing their own bugs, then they should release the distro with the broken package. Is all. :P | 04:22 |
| Dollz | where to get xvid encoder ? | 04:23 |
| Stanley00 | usr13: I think "th perfect OS for everyone" is more precise, Ubuntu is nearly perfect for me ;) | 04:23 |

| usr13 | Dollz: PATH=$PATH:/dir/dir | 04:35 |
| axi93 | yeboot: just ask; if we know the answer we will | 04:35 |
| variable | urlin2u: use more quotes! | 04:35 |
| george | everything goes white and then 5 minutes later its back 2 normal | 04:35 |
| urlin2u | variable, I'm on the phone | 04:35 |
| usr13 | Dollz: and then export PATH | 04:35 |
| Dollz | usr13: thanks | 04:35 |
| variable | urlin2u: :-) | 04:36 |
| usr13 | Dollz: What is it you are trying to add BTW? | 04:36 |
| crash1hd | axi93, hmm ok I was kinda hoping there was something shell based cause when I do the package manager it seems to ask me if I want to remove things like ubuntu-desktop? which I worry about not sure what that is? | 04:36 |
| Dollz | usr13: a path to mplayer directory to run mencoder quickly | 04:36 |
| crash1hd | as well as nouveau firmware | 04:36 |
| usr13 | Dollz: You know you can just do mkdir ~/bin and put scripts there to your heart's content. | 04:37 |
| axi93 | crash1hd: don't remove it if it says it is going to remove ubuntu-desktop. that is like everything. basically. not just the invidia packages. | 04:37 |
| usr13 | Dollz: mplayer should already be in your path. | 04:37 |
| usr13 | Dollz: How did you install mplayer? | 04:37 |
| axi93 | crash1hd: hold on a second and i'll see what i can do to answer your question. | 04:37 |
| Dollz | usr13: from svn | 04:37 |
| usr13 | Dollz: you didn't use the package manager? | 04:37 |
| crash1hd | axi93, ok :) thanks | 04:37 |
| axi93 | crash1hd: did you install additional drivers in ubuntu or are you using the free ones? | 04:38 |
| Dollz | usr13: I tried to install mencoder only using apt-get , but it installed an old version (2009) | 04:38 |
| Dollz | usr13: so , I got it from the source :) svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer | 04:38 |
| Dollz | + ./configure make , and make install | 04:39 |
| crash1hd | truelly I am not sure, there was a time where I was trying anythnig to get the nvidia drivers to work | 04:39 |
| usr13 | Dollz: What version of Ubuntu do you have? | 04:39 |
| Dollz | usr13: 10.04 | 04:39 |

| Strav | Hi. I know the following questions might have been asked a thousand times, but I never got the chance to read unity's design team responses to much of the criticism that's out there. For instance. For a new comer, it now takes FIVE clicks to reach a given item from the accessories, what the hell?. And how about being able to reposition the launcher bar on the desktop for those whom, being used to browse content from top-down and | 04:41 |
| Strav | left-right, just see the launcher bar as a visual annoyance/distraction and would feel it's really less intrusive at the bottom of the screen? In all, is there some place where the design team give responses and perhaps even dialog with the feedback they had? (is it launchpad actually?, should these be filled as bugs?) | 04:41 |

| usr13 | Dollz: The version from the repository was not doing the job for you? | 04:42 |
| usr13 | or did you try it? | 04:43 |
| axi93 | crash1hd: i don't believe you can remove the Nouveau package. you can remove the unified NVIDIA drivers though... | 04:43 |
| fluffy | Can anyone help me with a BCM43xx issue | 04:43 |
| crash1hd | axi93, ok | 04:43 |
| Dollz | usr13: didn't try it at all | 04:43 |
| axi93 | crash1hd: maybe a better question is why do you want to remove these drivers? | 04:44 |
| crash1hd | axi93, well I am no longer using an nvidia card | 04:44 |
| crash1hd | axi93, and there is an option in the settings that makes reference to them | 04:45 |
| axi93 | crash1hd: i wouldn't worry about it if it isn't negatively impacting you. | 04:45 |
| usr13 | Dollz: mplayer is a very complicated suite of applications. It is the swiss-army knife of video players. It is easy to isntall from the package manager and hard to install manually. YOu should install from the repository and see if it functions properly. | 04:45 |
| crash1hd | axi93, its not and i know I could just hide the menu item. On that note when I do install the custom ati driver I get a warning about unsupported ati driver as a little image in the bottom right corner of the screen | 04:46 |
| crash1hd | so I was not sure if it was affected | 04:46 |
| axi93 | crash1hd: you can disable the driver if you want to do that. | 04:46 |
| Dollz | usr13: but I think it's fine .. it didn't take 10 minutes to download and complie | 04:46 |
| Dollz | usr13: just 3 commands | 04:46 |
| crash1hd | axi93, I have done that already (that removed the warning) and all seems to be working but I am not trying to do anything complicated either lol | 04:46 |
| axi93 | crash1hd: go to system -> administration -> additional drivers (10.04) | 04:47 |
| Dollz | usr13: got no errors at all | 04:47 |
| usr13 | Dollz: Well you should not have to alter your path to use it. If you install it properly it will work. No matter if you isntall from tarball or from package manager. | 04:47 |
| usr13 | I'm going to be away from my terminal for a while.... | 04:47 |
| axi93 | crash1hd: i actually wanted to do what you are trying to do at one time to shrink the size of a ISO which contained a mini version of ubuntu. unfortunately the way things are packaged you just can't. | 04:47 |
| Dollz | usr13: hmmm , I hope this is the only problem :) | 04:48 |
| crash1hd | axi93, ok :) makes sense the driver it wants me to use is the ATI/AMD prop.. FGLRX graphics driver | 04:48 |
| crash1hd | but when I activate it I get the warning | 04:48 |
| crash1hd | which I have looked up and it tells me that the warning is bogus that it is verified (but couldnt find a way to get rid of it) | 04:49 |
| xxzz | hi, do i need to delete win re partition before installing ubuntu on laptop or it can stay there | 04:54 |
| axi93 | xxzz: it can remain. | 04:54 |
| xxzz | axi93, ty | 04:54 |
| axi93 | xxzz: you can resize a windows partition usually and then create a new one in the free space. after which you can install to the new one and when the system boots you will have the option of booting either windows or ubuntu. | 04:55 |
| xxzz | i already have free space | 04:56 |
| axi93 | then you are golden | 04:56 |
| xxzz | its just that i opted for custom patitioning and i didnt select not to create re, it normally puts that under C: | 04:56 |

| george | but is this common on Dell hardware? ive read things online about this and all, now im never buying a Dell laptop xD | 05:06 |
| axi93 | george: basically you need to order an card which usually goes in the screen. so... you'd have to pop off some little circles that cover the screws to get the screen off (under the circles are screws) and then the thing pops plastic piece around the screen pops off. toward the bottom there is a card usually. it just needs to be replaced. | 05:06 |
| talntid2 | it's common on laptops. period. | 05:06 |
| talntid2 | it's no more common on dell than anyone | 05:06 |
| talntid2 | dell doesn't make their own screens. other companies do. and HP, dell, ibm, toshiba, etc... all use similar manufacturers. | 05:06 |
| Peace_Maker | guys I have some problem here :( | 05:07 |

| calmpitbull | can't get it work | 05:21 |
| axi93 | calmpitbull: i know the answer to this problem. buy a free software compatible usb audio adapter. they are available from thinkpenguin.com and other fine stores! (although the others are harder to find... cause most don't clearly indicate it) | 05:22 |
| calmpitbull | axi93: what???? | 05:23 |
| axi93 | calmpitbull: the other answer is revert your linux kernel version. not something i'd suggest doing... on any permanent basis. | 05:23 |
| sweetandy | I am using 11.04. I have a bcm4311 wireless card issue. The driver is properly installed and activated. There is a physical switch on the laptop to enable/disable the card. The indicator LED on the card does not switch from orange to blue when activated (unlike under all other distros I have run). No card activity is possible. | 05:23 |
| axi93 | calmpitbull: you have a usb audio chipset that is a piece of junk... | 05:23 |
| axi93 | calmpitbull: it shouldn't stop working just because your kernel updated or you upgraded. | 05:24 |
| calmpitbull | axi93: what a fuck... | 05:24 |
| calmpitbull | axi93: just shot up | 05:24 |
| axi93 | calmpitbull: i just told you a second solution.... but as i said i wouldn't advise it. | 05:25 |
| axi93 | sweetandy: broadcom doesn't support free software or linux well at all... | 05:25 |
| sweetandy | axi93, that is very true, but I have used this card with GNU/Linux distributions for almost two years | 05:26 |
| sweetandy | I rarely use the WIFI, if ever, but I wanted to configure it with this new installation anyway. | 05:26 |

| mat619 | Hi there. I got a VIA C3 machine at home on which Ubuntu refuses to install correctly - neither live-cd nor alternate installer work properly. I found an old harddrive with 9.04 on it, and it booted perfectly though! Now I'm thinking about upgrading the 9.04 to 10.04 LTS, to regain update support. Is that possible? I read some people had problems doing that? | 05:45 |
| LSD` | If I apt-get install ccache, is there anything more that has to be done to enable it? As in, can I compile stuff as I normally would and it'll kick in on its own or do I have to activate it manually as per various online docs I've looked at? | 05:45 |
| Dracari | i guess i cant use a Password w/ an ! in it in this manner ;-; | 05:46 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! What is a good program for ripping DVDs? I want to play the files on my WD TV Live Plus box. | 05:46 |
| user_ | hm, escape sequences for the troublesome character "!" would be another guess but I figured quotes would've taken care of it?!? | 05:47 |
| bazhang | dsnyders, ogmrip | 05:47 |
| Dracari | i dont want to Create an Virtual Interface on my DD-WRT router JUST for my XBMC-Live Wireless units. | 05:48 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades mat619 please see this | 05:49 |
| dsnyders | bazhang, Thanks. I'll take a look at that. I used to have a script that did an mplayer dumpstream, but I can't find it anymore. | 05:49 |
| Dracari | guess i'll nee dto create one.. thanks for the help though user_ | 05:49 |
| bazhang | dsnyders, ogmrip has a load of nice preset options as to how you rip it (ie number of passes, for which device etc) | 05:50 |
| user_ | tried, best of luck Dracari | 05:50 |
| bazhang | calmpitbull, check in alsamixer that nothing is muted | 05:50 |
| user_ | keep tinkering in the future wih it | 05:51 |
| mat619 | bazhang: thanks, but I read that before. I know it IS possible, but my question rather is "would you recommend that" - bad choice of wording. can't write proper english before at least 2nd cup of coffee. :/ | 05:51 |
| mat619 | bazhang: I'm afraid that upgrading will kill proper support for my hardware, which seems to be troublesome considering no newer release than 9.04 would work with it. wonder why!? | 05:51 |
| aple | How do I add something to my terminal? Like if I wanted to call /home/aple/MyApp from terminal like: "myapp newfile.txt". How would I do that? | 05:51 |
| bazhang | mat619, do you have a separate home partition; upgrades such work fine, as would a fresh install | 05:51 |
| aple | I'm creating a symlink to it, but I'm not sure how to make it part of my terminal path | 05:52 |
| bazhang | mat619, try a live cd with some bootoptions then | 05:52 |
| bazhang | !bootoptions | mat619 | 05:52 |
| ubottu | mat619: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 05:52 |
| mat619 | aple: add /home/aple/bin or wherever you keep your app to your path variable | 05:52 |
| dsnyders | bazhang, my script wasn't very pretty. It basically looped through 30 times, blindly trying to play each DVD chapter. I'm sure OGMRip is a lot better. | 05:52 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang: i did yesterday and now i have speakers muted again, | 05:53 |
| bazhang | dsnyders, be certain to have libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org | 05:53 |
| mat619 | aple: then when you call "myapp newfile.txt" the shell will look for an app by the name of myapp in all folders in $PATH, including the folder your app is actually in. | 05:53 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang: and when i put it on lauder nothing happens | 05:54 |
| bazhang | calmpitbull, are you using something with WINE? | 05:54 |
| aple | mat619: Last time I did this, I was told to make a symlink. Is that not necessary? | 05:54 |
| dsnyders | bazhang, Thanks for that reminder. | 05:54 |
| calmpitbull | no | 05:54 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang:what do u mean | 05:54 |
| mat619 | aple: where is your app located and were you told to symlink it to? | 05:54 |
| bazhang | calmpitbull, microsoft apps with WINE | 05:55 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang: no | 05:55 |
| bazhang | calmpitbull, what is PCM set to in alsamixer | 05:55 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang:100 | 05:55 |
| bazhang | calmpitbull, down it to around 70 | 05:55 |
| calmpitbull | ok | 05:55 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang:no what | 05:56 |
| aple | mat619: Well, I don't care about symlinking to be honest. I just want to add Sublime Text 2 to terminal so I can call it from terminal like: "st2 newfile.txt" or just open it with "st2" | 05:56 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang:now what | 05:56 |
| bazhang | calmpitbull, try playing a test sound | 05:56 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang:can i open avi to test it | 05:57 |
| aple | mat619: /home/aple/SublimeText2/sublime_text | 05:57 |
| bazhang | calmpitbull, sure, why not | 05:57 |
| xxxguardianangel | xxxguardianangel> hey all, anyone know how to fix gecko on a wine install? | 05:57 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang:still nothing | 05:57 |
| bazhang | xxxguardianangel, try #winehq after checking the appdb | 05:58 |
| bazhang | !appdb | xxxguardianangel | 05:58 |
| ubottu | xxxguardianangel: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 05:58 |
| mat619 | aple: ah, now I see why you were told to create a symlink. If the executable file itself is called "sublime_text", and you want to call it with "st2", you need to create a symlink on sublime_text called st2. that would be step 1. | 05:58 |
| aple | How do I name symlinks? | 05:58 |
| xxxguardianangel | bazhang, it has to be 1.3.9, the ubuntu repo has 1.2.2 | 05:58 |
| mat619 | aple: second step would be to add /home/aple/SublimeText2/ to your path variable, so that the shell will search that folder for an app called "st2" when you call it. | 05:59 |

| atari2600a | Can unity in 11.10 RE-ARRANGE WORKSPACES | 05:59 |
| aple | mat619: Last time I did it, I did it in a one-liner. | 05:59 |
| atari2600a | it's the only think setting me back from using it | 05:59 |
| atari2600a | otherwise I'm installing xubuntu | 05:59 |
| atari2600a | or kubuntu | 05:59 |
| bazhang | atari2600a, watch the language. this is the wrong place as well | 05:59 |
| atari2600a | I haven't decided whether my 4.0 wounds have healed yet | 05:59 |
| mat619 | aple: ooff... good question. been a while since i last did that, something along the lines of "ln -s sublime_text st2" when you're in /home/aple/SublimeText2/. | 05:59 |
| mat619 | aple: am unsure of the exact syntax though, you might want to look it up if it doesn't work. | 06:00 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang:any other ideas | 06:00 |
| vingian | hello all | 06:01 |
| bazhang | calmpitbull, check in padevchooser for your sound device | 06:02 |
| bazhang | !info padevchooser | calmpitbull | 06:02 |
| ubottu | calmpitbull: padevchooser (source: padevchooser): PulseAudio Device Chooser. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3-2ubuntu4 (natty), package size 19 kB, installed size 132 kB | 06:02 |
| vingian | i have an ubuntu desktop (10.10) & a 10.10 server however, when i type sudo apt-get install <pkg_name> I get tab completion to assist me on the desktop edition | 06:03 |
| vingian | however, in the server edition the tab completion doesn't work at all... | 06:03 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang:ok | 06:03 |
| vingian | is there something different that needs to be done on the server? (missing packages perhaps?) | 06:03 |
| glebihan | vingian, do you have the bash-completion package installed ? | 06:04 |
| dsnyders | bazhang, Rip in progress. No libdvdcss2 complaints. Mind you, it's a small production run DVD, not likely to be region coded or encrypted in any way. | 06:04 |
| xxxguardianangel | bazhang: I'be been asking in there for the last hour | 06:04 |
| vingian | glebihan: i can check - however, its a default installation so it hasn't changed much - doesn't it get installed by default? | 06:04 |
| mat619 | aple: check this for an explanation about how to set the PATH-variable to include /home/aple/SublimeText2/ - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables | 06:04 |
| dsnyders | bazhang, thanks for the pointer to OGMRip. | 06:04 |
| glebihan | vingian, not sure | 06:05 |
| LSD` | Are there any DVD Rippers for Linux that just decrypt the files and not want to immediately reencode the mto something else as part of the process? | 06:05 |
| dsnyders | g'night all! | 06:05 |
| bazhang | LSD`, to ISO, for example? | 06:06 |
| vingian | glebihan: the said package is installed | 06:06 |
| mat619 | How can I check if a package is available in the repos of a now unsupported release? packages.ubuntu.com doesn't allow me to search old repos as far as I can see | 06:06 |
| organiks | how stable is 11.04 64bit on a usb? | 06:06 |
| qin | xxxguardianangel: 1.3 is in repos, natty's | 06:06 |
| mat619 | whereas "search" means "hack something into a search box and press enter", not navigate through a folder structure frontend | 06:06 |
| LSD` | bazhang: no, to a collection of decrypted VOB files in afolder off the disc | 06:07 |

| glebihan | vingian, then no idea, sorry. I don't actuallly use bash | 06:07 |
| bazhang | LSD`, no idea, never tried it | 06:07 |
| qin | xxxguardianangel: Check version from natty (or oneiric) and see how bad looks dependencies, source is also option if you really need this particular version. You on lucid? | 06:09 |
| organiks | anyone? | 06:09 |

| acalvo | no error messages, just hangs | 06:13 |
| acalvo | using ubuntu 11.04 livecd | 06:13 |

| urlin2u | !details | acalvo | 06:13 |
| acalvo | tried with noapic nolapic acpi=off vga=771 | 06:13 |
| ubottu | acalvo: 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 ..." | 06:13 |
| urlin2u | acalvo, how about nomodeset? | 06:14 |
| usr13 | acalvo: memtest | 06:14 |
| acalvo | I have a problem with the Ubuntu Natty 11.04 liveCD. During the boot process, it freezes and the computer doesn't respond to any command. I expected it to start the desktop. I am using an HP Pavilion G6 | 06:15 |
| acalvo | urlin2u, didn't try it | 06:15 |
| acalvo | usr13, it's a new machine | 06:15 |
| urlin2u | md5sum? acalvo | 06:15 |

| aple | Anyone know how to add Sublime Text 2 to Terminal? | 06:15 |
| acalvo | usr13, the standard windows installation was running fine | 06:15 |
| urlin2u | acalvo, do you know the gpu? | 06:16 |
| acalvo | urlin2u, going to check | 06:16 |
| urlin2u | acalvo, my guess is a nvidia card. | 06:16 |
| acalvo | urlin2u, intel HD | 06:16 |
| irc2samus | hello guys, I've set a keyboard shortcut to start the web browser but now it tries to open http://18154115/ whenever it starts, any ideas? | 06:17 |
| urlin2u | acalvo, lspci | grep VGA will show the gou | 06:17 |
| urlin2u | gpu | 06:17 |
| qin | aple: Where do you keep binary, path, please. | 06:17 |
| acalvo | urlin2u, I can't start the livecd | 06:17 |
| irc2samus | the "open web browser" command seems to be getting wrong arguments (whetever it is) | 06:17 |
| urlin2u | acalvo, try the nomodeset if it is the gpu tthat should get you in. | 06:18 |
| acalvo | urlin2u, going to check | 06:18 |
| usr13 | irc2samus: What is the command in the keyboard shortcut? You might try changing it to firefox google.com or firefox about:blank | 06:19 |
| TONGJI | any? | 06:19 |
| acalvo | urlin2u, still fails to start, but now it shows some errors | 06:20 |
| aple | qin: What's the binary? The file I'm trying to use in terminal is: ~/apps/SublimeText2/sublime_text | 06:20 |
| usr13 | irc2samus: What is 18154115? | 06:20 |
| acalvo | it fails to "start to fallback the graphic devices" | 06:20 |
| Pupeno | Where does evolution stores its address book? I need to restore from backups? | 06:20 |
| qin | aple: One sec | 06:20 |
| acalvo | and it also shows "bad lun (0:1) bad target (1:0)" | 06:20 |
| irc2samus | usr13, well the shortcut it's for the "Launch web browser" action on the "Desktop" section, I guess I could create a new shortcut and specify the command but It hought that would/should work | 06:20 |
| macbookubuntu | hello! | 06:20 |
| irc2samus | usr13, regarding the number I've no idea | 06:21 |
| aple | Maybe I'm thinking of /usr/share .. :\ | 06:21 |
| macbookubuntu | i'm running 11.04 on my 4.5 year old macbook and i can't get a clear dual monitor picture when i hook it up to my 32" sony bravia hdtv. any hints? | 06:21 |
| organiks | thnx | 06:22 |
| organiks | qin | 06:22 |
| urlin2u | acalvo, not beyond beyond those ides to be honest, you might google the computer model and ubuntu. | 06:22 |
| usr13 | irc2samus: I don't either. But it may be that firefox's start page has somehow gotten changed to that bogus ULR. Did you check that? | 06:22 |
| organiks | and acalvo not live cd install | 06:22 |
| acalvo | urlin2u, that's what I've been doing for the last hour | 06:22 |
| urlin2u | not sure beyond* | 06:22 |
| acalvo | organiks, that what I must try now... | 06:22 |
| acalvo | thanks guys! | 06:22 |
| urlin2u | TONGJI, any what? | 06:23 |
| usr13 | irc2samus: What happens when you just run firefox from terminal? | 06:23 |
| irc2samus | usr13, it was a possibility but it's not the case here, my guess is that the "Lauch web browser" action is passing some extra arguments | 06:23 |
| qin | aple: Does: cd ~/apps/SublimeText2/ && ./sublime_text starts application? | 06:23 |
| TONGJI | have no idea for IRc | 06:23 |
| urlin2u | irc2samus, clean the cookis and cache, and backup. | 06:24 |
| irc2samus | usr13, works fine from the terminal | 06:24 |
| usr13 | irc2samus: That would be my guess, that the "Lauch web browser" action is passing some extra arguments. | 06:24 |
| aple | qin: Yes | 06:24 |
| qin | organiks: ? | 06:24 |
| rapecannon | Hey, anyone have CLI experience using screen? | 06:24 |
| usr13 | irc2samus: See if you can cahnge those extra arguments. | 06:24 |
| irc2samus | usr13, do you know where that action is specified? just curios | 06:24 |
| irc2samus | *curious | 06:24 |
| usr13 | rapecannon: yea | 06:25 |
| usr13 | irc2samus: No I don't. | 06:25 |
| irc2samus | rapecannon, I do, there's a channel for it too | 06:25 |
| organiks | usb install | 06:25 |
| usr13 | irc2samus: I thought you did. | 06:25 |
| irc2samus | usr13, ok thanks, I'll go with the new shortcut then and specify the command myself | 06:25 |
| rapecannon | irc2samus: There is? Fantastic. What's the channel? | 06:25 |
| JadedJacob | Hi all. | 06:25 |
| irc2samus | rapecannon, #screen | 06:25 |
| rapecannon | irc2samus: simple as that? Lolz. To think I spent a few minutes trying to google for "screen irc channel" | 06:26 |
| glebihan | irc2samus, it's in the default applications settings : gnome-default-applications-properties | 06:26 |
| rapecannon | Thanks! | 06:26 |
| JadedJacob | I'm currently installing lubuntu, and I'm wanting to setup my machine so it can play dvds, divx/wmv and flash | 06:26 |
| qin | aple: In one line: cd ~ && echo "#!/bin/bash" > st.sh && echo "./apps/SublimeText2/sublime_text" >> st.sh && ./st.sh | 06:26 |
| qin | aple: Dice? | 06:26 |
| JadedJacob | I know how to setup flash, but not about codecs and dvd | 06:26 |
| JadedJacob | Is installing the codecs the same as it is on ubuntu pure? | 06:27 |
| usr13 | !dvd | JadedJacob | 06:27 |
| ubottu | JadedJacob: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 06:27 |
| irc2samus | glebihan, I have gnome-default-applications-properties which opens the "preferred applications" and that does not show the actual command, just a dropdown to select the browser | 06:27 |
| usr13 | JadedJacob: Yes, would be same. | 06:27 |
| glebihan | irc2samus, then check the value of /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec in gconf-editor | 06:28 |
| qin | aple: ups: cd ~ && chmod +x st.sh && ./st.sh | 06:28 |
| JadedJacob | thanks | 06:29 |
| irc2samus | glebihan, nice tool :) unfortunately it shows just 'firefox' as the command | 06:29 |
| irc2samus | (the plot thikens...) | 06:29 |
| boomernang00 | Hi, using ubuntu 11.04 64bit - how can i use custom mount points during the paritioning process in the install? It will only let me choose from a list of mount points | 06:29 |
| irc2samus | +c | 06:29 |
| aple | qin: !/bin/bash: event not found | 06:30 |
| aple | qin: I did this the other night with someone in here and it was a lot simpler anyway. Something like a symlink to /usr/share | 06:30 |
| xxxguardianangel | qin, I wouldn't install something painfully annoying if I didn't need it that way | 06:30 |
| qin | aple: Add # in fron of ! | 06:30 |
| aple | qin: I did | 06:30 |
| reachingperfecti | how can i find my server name and my name | 06:31 |
| glebihan | irc2samus, weird... Have you tried to change your default browser in order to see whether the behavior is specific to firefox ? | 06:31 |
| JadedJacob | sorry, I joined the ubuntu room, rather than the lubuntu | 06:32 |
| vingian | reachingperfecti: execute hostname at the prompt for your servername | 06:32 |
| vingian | reachingperfecti: & whoami for username | 06:32 |
| irc2samus | glebihan, it's the only browser I have installed atm but it's worth a try, let me install another and I'll reply back | 06:32 |
| urlin2u | JadedJacob, lubuntu is supported here as well. | 06:32 |
| aple | qin: It sucks because I specifically saved this easy one-liner in a .txt and then reformatted and forgot to back it up :) | 06:32 |
| qin | aple: if st.sh will work from ~ you can put it in $PATH, so it will be proper launcher. | 06:33 |
| aple | What's st.sh? | 06:34 |
| qin | aple: File you just created: ls ~ | 06:34 |
| aple | Ah, your one-liner works if I call the file like: "~/st2" | 06:35 |
| calmpitbull | bazhang: u sad to install what | 06:36 |
| qin | aple: ./st.sh (unless you changed name) or: bash st.sh | 06:36 |
| reachingperfecti | vingian: ACTUALLY I WANT TO SHARE A FOLder with another ubuntu pc but not on a common LAN | 06:37 |
| boomernang00 | Hi - am i able to create a custom mount point during the partitioning process of the install? (ubuntu 11.04.64bit) | 06:37 |
| brad_ | Nobody has +v in #screen, I don't think. | 06:37 |
| usr13 | reachingperfecti: nfs ? | 06:38 |
| brad_ | Whoops | 06:38 |
| urlin2u | boomernang00, like? | 06:38 |
| usr13 | reachingperfecti: But not on a common LAN??? | 06:38 |
| reachingperfecti | usr13: nfs means | 06:38 |
| aple | qin: Figured it out | 06:38 |
| reachingperfecti | usr13: yes not a comman LAN | 06:38 |
| boomernang00 | urlin2u: like my second harddrive using mount point /Downloads... It will only let me use pre defined mount points like /home and /var | 06:38 |
| aple | qin: ln -s ~/apps/SublimeText2/sublime_text /usr/bin/st2 | 06:39 |
| aple | Now I can call ST2 from terminal with just "st2" | 06:39 |
| reachingperfecti | usr13: me my friend lives 3 miles away | 06:39 |
| usr13 | !nfs | reachingperfecti | 06:39 |
| ubottu | reachingperfecti: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 06:39 |

| hexacode | not only has ubuntu changed things, but they took out the init.d daemon for php5 it seems | 06:40 |
| usr13 | hexacode: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? | 06:40 |
| irc2samus | glebihan, I've installed Chromium it does not have the problem when set as the preferred web browser | 06:40 |
| irc2samus | only Firefox :/ | 06:40 |
| hexacode | usr13 10.04 lts | 06:41 |

| irc2samus | glebihan, yes | 06:41 |
| urlin2u | boomernang00, you want it labled, it mounts through fstab. | 06:41 |
| usr13 | aple: Oh well, I don't know. Not sure, but I don't think you can. | 06:41 |
| sp4z | is there a version of ubuntu which doesn't come with extra apps installed (bloatware) all i really need is gnome, gedit, basic system apps etc | 06:42 |
| usr13 | aple: Waht exactly are you trying to do? | 06:42 |
| reachingperfecti | usr13:thanks budd | 06:42 |
| reachingperfecti | ubottu: thanks budd | 06:42 |
| usr13 | reachingperfecti: NP | 06:42 |
| urlin2u | sp4z, get the minimal. | 06:42 |
| glebihan | irc2samus, then it must be something with firefox settings... but I dont' see what it could be. Maybe you could try creating a new profile in firefox, define it as default and see if it's still the same | 06:42 |
| usr13 | !ubottu | reachingperfecti | 06:42 |
| ubottu | reachingperfecti: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 06:42 |

| sp4z | urlin2u, sorry haven't had ubuntu for a while, could you be a little more specific? | 06:43 |
| irc2samus | glebihan, new profile, same issue :( | 06:44 |
| urlin2u | sp4z, there is a minimal ISO net install you have more control look it up. | 06:44 |
| sp4z | urlin2u, cheers will do | 06:44 |
| sp4z | exit | 06:44 |
| crimsonmane | is there a place to leave suggestions for ubuntu beta? | 06:44 |
| irc2samus | now I'm really puzzled, that number doesn't even look like a PID or anything | 06:44 |
| aple | usr13: I'm trying to copy stuff either from or to, either Windows7 or Ubuntu(virtualbox) seamlessly. | 06:44 |
| irc2samus | and it's always the same, don't know if after a reboot it might change | 06:45 |
| usr13 | !minimal | sp4z | 06:45 |
| ubottu | sp4z: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 06:45 |
| urlin2u | crimsonmane, #ubuntu+1 is the oneiric channel they may know. | 06:45 |
| glebihan | irc2samus, unlikely. Then again, all of this is very strange | 06:45 |

| getlikeme | is there a way to recursively symlink a series of files in a folder? | 07:04 |
| nastjuid | urlin2u: well, it updated, so i'm still crossing my fingers | 07:04 |
| getlikeme | i tried this 'ln -s /path/to/folder/*' | 07:04 |
| getlikeme | and it then it symlinks folder | 07:04 |
| getlikeme | but when i try adding to git, git apparently doesn't allow you to add files in the symlink folder | 07:05 |
| === denny_ is now known as denny | ||
| getlikeme | just the symlink itself | 07:05 |
| nastjuid | urlin2u: yup, there it goes. old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ . Again, thank you, thank you, thank you | 07:05 |
| nastjuid | until next time, gentlepeople. | 07:05 |
| urlin2u | nastjuid, your welcome. :D | 07:05 |
| getlikeme | so short of symlinking one-by-one, is there a way to symlink recursively all files in a folder? | 07:06 |
| Lasers | getlikeme: Use a bash loop command -- That could work. (I don't know how myself). | 07:07 |
| getlikeme | screw it, i just did it by hand. enough bikeshedding already | 07:07 |
| getlikeme | or is it called yak-shaving | 07:07 |
| ronin___ | somsip: THX | 07:07 |
| getlikeme | it's just 5 files dammit, no need for a for loop | 07:07 |
| getlikeme | thx anyways, i guess | 07:07 |
| somsip | getlikeme: I'd go with a short bash script. Apropos of: for file in path; ln -s path/$file $file | 07:08 |

| urlin2u | itilious, install the driver. | 07:23 |

| itilious | ActionParsnip, i installed driver and connect via wifi to printer ok,,, only when firestarter is disabled though | 07:23 |
| melle | Hi all, i saw that the Dell Vostro 3700 is ubuntu certified (http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201001-4961:201004-5579). Currently I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and hence, the NVidia card isn't working out of the box (got bumblebee though). Does Ubuntu 11.04 have the same problem? Or should I consider updating? | 07:23 |
| jnsl_ | ActionParsnip has the same problem, no ogv and webm | 07:24 |
| jnsl_ | err ffmpeg has * | 07:24 |
| itilious | ActionParsnip, i also opened cups port for firestarter but still hp drivers seem to need something else open because it still will not work when firewall is on | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | itilious: possibly 161427 and 137 UDP | 07:25 |
| mutley89 | aple: there is an option on the virtualbox manager gui under the settings for each virtual machine, under general - advanced called shared clipboard, is this set? | 07:25 |
| rww | melle: given that there aren't any certification notes for 11.04, I'd consider updating | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | itilious: http://www.avgforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=621 | 07:25 |
| itilious | ActionParsnip, 161427? | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | itilious: yeah, on seconds read, not quite right | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | itilious: could just cheat and allow the system to transmit and recieve ANY data on ANY port to and from the IP of the printer | 07:27 |
| itilious | ActionParsnip, so i need to add "161, 427" to my open port rule in firestarter? | 07:28 |
| rockguy32 | I'm currently installing Windows 7 on my dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows machine. The Ubuntu hard drive is the boot drive and GRUB has not been touched by this installation (I have made sure of that). Although the boot option for Windows XP works fine to launch the newly installed 7, how can I change it so it says Windows 7 instead of XP in the list? | 07:28 |
| itilious | ActionParsnip, i did add the printer static ip and still it does not work | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | itilious: possibly, that link seems groovy though | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | itilious: your printer manual may tell you | 07:28 |
| Phylock | rockguy32 - did you update the grub file?? | 07:29 |
| urlin2u | rockguy32, it will be W7 the XP will be the hard one to boot I used easybcd to get it in the W7 bootmenu. | 07:29 |
| rockguy32 | I was under the impression that this had changed with the new GRUB | 07:29 |
| rockguy32 | Windows XP has been replaced by 7. 7 is launched by the XP option in the GRUB menu. It was an upgrade, not an additional installation. | 07:30 |
| melle | rww: thanks! | 07:30 |
| Phylock | rockguy32 - regenerate is maybe a better word, run "update-grub" | 07:30 |
| urlin2u | rockguy32, W7 will take over the boot it may have xp already in its menu I had a W7 then XP actualyy. | 07:31 |
| urlin2u | rockguy32, in other words you will see at grub Ubuntu and windows 7 when yo choose windows seven a boot for it or Xp will be next. | 07:32 |
| rockguy32 | Windows 7 did not take over the boot. After it restarted to apply changes, GRUB came up just fine. My Windows installation is on an entirely separate drive from Ubuntu and GRUB is housed on the Ubuntu drive. | 07:32 |
| rockguy32 | Windows XP is no longer there, as it has been upgraded to 7. The XP option in the list launches the 7 installation. I just want to rename it so it says Windows 7 instead of XP. | 07:33 |
| urlin2u | rockguy32, I used easybcd to get the xp ion the W7 boot, you can run a bootscript for us to lok to see how the windows have intertwined the boot. | 07:33 |

| rockguy32 | Is the update-grub command still functional in the newest version of GRUB because I was under the impression it was replaced by something else. | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | rockguy32: update-grub still works. | 07:35 |
| rockguy32 | Ok, and will it detect that Windows XP is now called WIndows 7? | 07:35 |
| Jordan_U | rockguy32: It should, yes. | 07:36 |
| urlin2u | rockguy32, if you run this script and pastebin the RESULTS.text we can see the MS boot. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 07:36 |
| rockguy32 | I can't at the moment, it's finishing installation. | 07:36 |
| urlin2u | rockguy32, it may be as simple as a update-grub though. | 07:37 |
| rockguy32 | ok well I'll have to wait until the installation finishes and I can reboot before I get the chance to try. | 07:37 |

| zruty | url | 08:04 |
| urlin2u | zruty, the usb creator is for thumbs, I would have done a full install, on a partition big enough yo would be set then. As it is the casper-rw=persistent will fill up after awhile and can't be cleaned. | 08:04 |
| zruty | urlin2u: Yes, but this suits my other purposes better. I think I found the partition... on /cdrom | 08:05 |

| ActionParsnip | stevethepirate: and w32codecs from medibuntu (I assume 32bit OS) | 08:09 |

| ActionParsnip | REK_007: not used it, so I can't comment. You'd have to check the backup scope | 08:10 |
| zruty | urlin2u: I am pretty sure that it is the correct partition. I can see all live files and folders there. | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | REK_007: if you have any custom configs in /etc then yes, otherwise you'll be ok | 08:10 |
| stevethepirate | ActionParsnip: 64-bit. | 08:10 |
| urlin2u | zruty, not sure to be honest, a hard way to do it it seems. | 08:10 |
| REK_007 | ActionParsnip: included are home /var/cache /lib /lib32 /lib64 /etc | 08:10 |
| REK_007 | so it will be ok i suppose | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | stevethepirate: then w64codecs | 08:11 |
| REK_007 | i will get back all the installed softwares right ? | 08:11 |
| zruty | urlin2u: Yes... it is a bit hard. Or rather I have to styart nautilus with sudo | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | REK_007: make sure the hidden folders from $HOME are in the scope | 08:11 |

| urlin2u | partition | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | REK_007: it can help with reinstalls, means that you can simply tell any new install to mount the old home partition as /home and the settings will stand | 08:13 |
| REK_007 | ActionParsnip: so backup wont be needed in other words | 08:14 |

| codemagician | urlin2u, ah this just what I needed | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: which version of firefox? | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 08:25 |
| codemagician | Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS | 08:25 |
| codemagician | lucid for me | 08:25 |
| codemagician | so what I'm trying to find out, is will my python version stay the same | 08:26 |
| codemagician | if im always on 10.04 LTS | 08:26 |
| rumpe1 | codemagician, yes | 08:26 |
| codemagician | what about if I do apt-get upgrade | 08:26 |
| rumpe1 | codemagician, you get bugfixes/updates, but no "upgrade" | 08:27 |
| codemagician | and that's because its a LTS ? | 08:27 |
| rumpe1 | codemagician, no, it's in every version the case | 08:27 |
| codemagician | rumpe1, so why is it called upgrade? | 08:27 |
| rumpe1 | codemagician, that's a very good question :) | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | codemagician: you may be a ppa with a newer version, pythin is a huge part of your OS so I personally wouldn't go messing with it | 08:28 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, all versions from 4.0 till 6.0.1 and now all of a sudden upon starting the browser I got kicked out of hotmail, the page wanted me to select between local/us msn page, and had to relogin, and now the growth has stopped. | 08:28 |
| yacc | Any ideas how to debug a kernel freeze? My PC does not have physical ttyS nor lp devices, so a simple serial console to another PC seems out. => after the freeze there is nothing in the logfiles, and the freeze is hard SysRq does not work. | 08:28 |
| codemagician | ActionParsnip, this was my concern | 08:28 |
| codemagician | I assumed that the Python version would remain consistent through the lifetime regardless if I do an apt-get upgrade | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: tried a vanilla mozilla profile? | 08:29 |
| tata | ActionParsnipI: do nothing, I am new with linux and I know nothing, thank you anyway | 08:29 |
| yacc | codemagician, an "upgrade" can be just a change in compilation parameters, to make things better (or more probably safer) | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | codemagician: 12.04 is LTS, if you can hold til then you can instal that | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | tata: well, what folder did you download the fie to? | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | tata: use TAB to complete nicks ;) | 08:30 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, at all times I have 3 separate profiles active on the same machine, each with it's own hotmail account . | 08:30 |
| yacc | codemagician, or just compile your python into a private prefix :) | 08:30 |
| codemagician | ActionParsnip, I wrote a script on Python 2.7.1 on my desktop and it used functionality that wasn't available in Python 2.6.5 on 10.04LTS. So I figure its safer to rewrite to work to 2.6.5 | 08:30 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, all of a sudden the problems stopped in all 3 profiles | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: cool, I dont use firefox these days so can't really comment | 08:31 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, I even emptied my second profile recently... | 08:33 |
| codemagician | is there a way to get a specific version of python installed alongside my current 2.7.1+ version on my desktop? | 08:38 |
| aple | How do I get all dependencies with a package? Trying to get SVN and everything it needs | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: as in renaming ~/.mozilla | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | aple: sudo apt-get -f install will satisfy deps | 08:39 |
| aple | Thanks | 08:39 |
| aple | Where can I find which packages are supported by apt-get? | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | aple: http://packages.ubuntu.com or you can search with: apt-cache search something | 08:40 |
| yacc | codemagician, what features in 2.7 did you use? *curious* | 08:42 |
| codemagician | yacc, tarfile filter callback | 08:42 |
| bambanx | how can iniciate on console mode? | 08:42 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, as in removing all files from for example .mozilla/firefox/jcgoi3ss.debug/ | 08:42 |
| codemagician | yacc, I wrote my backup scripts on my desktop and on my server the filter param wasn't available until 2.7 | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: try closing the browser the renaming ~/.mozilla then rerun the browser | 08:43 |
| yacc | ActionParsnip, you should be able to copy just the modules into a subdirectory of your project, and then use try: import tarfile except ImportError: sys.path.append("mysubdirectory") | 08:43 |
| yacc | ActionParsnip, wrong destionation, sorry, was meant for codemagician | 08:43 |
| yacc | ActionParsnip, anyway, any idea how to debug kernel lookups (where the whole PC freezes) that by default do not leave any traces in the log files? | 08:44 |
| jincreator | Hi, everyone. I have a question about some legals. Is it possible to sell not official(not from Canonical shop) Ubuntu CD with using name Ubuntu and using Ubuntu logo on it? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !legal | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm | 08:45 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, the .mozilla dir is not the one for each profile. | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jincreator: http://www.ubuntu.com/legal | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: it stores all settings for Firefox and Thunderbird for the user | 08:46 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, .mozilla/firefox contains the profiles, and I have 8 of them each of whivh me a browser with it's own extra plugins fully separate profile. | 08:46 |
| mc89__ | any GIT guis for ubuntu like tortoise GUI? | 08:46 |
| devcalais | How do I find my UUID for one of my partitions..? | 08:46 |
| rww | devcalais: sudo blkid | 08:47 |
| devcalais | cheers :) | 08:47 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, please dig deeper into firefox/mozilla info, the system is a lot complexer. | 08:47 |
| lapion | .mozilla-thunderbird is for thunderbird | 08:47 |
| Lasers | (or .thunderbird in some distros) | 08:48 |
| urlin2u | devcalais, sudo blkid | 08:48 |
| lapion | .mozilla/firefox/* contains separate firefox. | 08:48 |
| lapion | I have been using mozilla/firefox/seamonkey/thunderbird since '98 | 08:49 |
| devcalais | urlin2u: cheers! | 08:49 |

| jincreator | ActionParsnip: Then is it possible to sell CD from ubuntu iso file, but not use Ubuntu's logo? | 08:50 |
| === Guest10185 is now known as lion42_ | ||
| ActionParsnip | lapion: like I said, the .mozilla contains settings for both apps, the fact that it is stored in subfolders or sub-subfolders is moot | 08:50 |
| === root is now known as Guest7035 | ||
| stevethepirate | Is it possible to set [in Gnome3] a single image spanned across two backgrounds [or independant backgrounds] | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: renaming the folder then rerunning the app will generate a vanilla ~/.mozilla folder, if teh browser behaves the same it is the application at fault. If it is fine then some addon or setting you have is causing the issue | 08:51 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, each profile has it's own folder containing it's own settings. | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | stevethepirate: Gnome3 isn't supported here | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: yes but within .mozilla | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: isn't it? | 08:52 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, I have several profiles and your advice would cut them all 8 off at the knees...... | 08:52 |
| mwelser | test | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: they are all still stored within the sngle folder, hence me recommending to rename it | 08:53 |
| yacc | lapion, you can also run firefox -P and create a new plain profile. | 08:53 |
| lapion | ActionParsnip, yacc please stop reading hitwords and start reading the whole sentences written. | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: try removing addons is all I can suggest. Firefox is an atrocious browser imho | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | lapion: its a simple thing to test, renaming the folder, and it's easy to rename back. So it's worth trying | 08:56 |
| pete_ | hey, I have a hard drive with the name "elements' and I want to rename it, without removing all the data | 08:56 |
| pete_ | is this possible? | 08:56 |

| ubottu | pete_: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. | 08:56 |

| dani__ | ?? | 09:35 |
| Snicksie | fhenning09, you shouldn't install an app for that, you can just change that in grub2 itself, although i'm not sure where you should change that... | 09:35 |
| OerHeks | buk, sudo service network restart / or the old way / sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. | 09:36 |
| fhenning09 | Well I got a question how can I determine what drive my mbr is located ? | 09:37 |
| Snicksie | fhenning09, http://maketecheasier.com/mastering-grub-2-the-easy-way/2009/11/19 >> below the /etc/default/grub header | 09:37 |

| fhenning09 | I installed windows after ubuntu then just ran repair now it doesn't show a menu at all even on holding shift so trying to figure a way to get my partitions to list and the onlky solution I found thus far is burg so guess gotta know the right location to tell burg to install to for mbr | 09:40 |
| OerHeks | fhenning09, installing windows after linux, can mess up grub, or delete all linux partitions. | 09:41 |
| OerHeks | !grub2 | 09:42 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| fhenning09 | yeah it was just a quick go at but now trying to fix the fuck up and its been a bad assed nightmare | 09:43 |
| fhenning09 | I mean I got grub back but it ain't allowing a menu for me to load into win 7 even though in the configuration files I can see win 7 partitions | 09:44 |
| Snicksie | you should edit that in /etc/default/grub fhenning09 ;) | 09:46 |
| Olleh | belgianguy: use telnet to test the ability to connect to a server. ssh expects a ssh secure handshake. telnet just connects and streams characters to/from the server. | 09:46 |

| belgianguy | now this myserver is happy to respond if I connect to it using 'Raw mode' PuTTy on Windows | 10:17 |
| MonkeyDust | port forward 80 > 9090 | 10:17 |
| belgianguy | WebSocket is just HTTP with an upgrade | 10:18 |
| belgianguy | but the server is listening on 9090 | 10:18 |
| belgianguy | I can connect to it, and then just paste a custom made handshake, and it will respond | 10:18 |
| belgianguy | but I'm not versed well enough to do that in Ubuntu | 10:19 |
| damo22 | belgianguy: so you want to connect to it via ubuntu? | 10:19 |
| belgianguy | yes | 10:19 |
| damo22 | belgianguy: telnet myserver 9090 | 10:20 |
| belgianguy | that gets stuck on Trying... | 10:20 |

| no_gravity | Hello Ubuntu! Im trying to run virtualbox inside a xen virtual machine :) virtualbox compaints that it cant find the kernel source. do you know how to install it? apt-get install WHAT? | 10:20 |
| phantome | bel without being sure, i think this is normal | 10:21 |
| phantome | telnet isn't raw | 10:21 |
| belgianguy | phantome, but is there a tool to use raw? | 10:21 |
| phantome | try connecting through your browser : http://myserver:9090 | 10:21 |
| ephan | Is there an Ubuntu channel for Translators? | 10:21 |
| oCean | belgianguy: try netcat: /bin/nc myserver 9090 | 10:21 |
| phantome | or putty for linux :D | 10:21 |
| oCean | ephan: #ubuntu-translators | 10:22 |
| phantome | (netcat is oneway communication) | 10:22 |
| ephan | thanks oCean | 10:22 |
| oCean | phantome: sure, but you'd still get a response for a listening process | 10:22 |
| oCean | phantome: oh wait, I see what you mean, not necessarily a response | 10:23 |
| phantome | :D | 10:23 |
| phantome | bel in the web page of putty there is a version for linux | 10:24 |
| belgianguy | phantome, do'h should have checked that, thanks | 10:25 |
| phantome | (you have to compile it though:D) | 10:25 |
| silare | Anyone here know how to get Vietnamese Unikey working in Ubuntu like Windows does? I got a working Unikey (Ibus installed), but the typing doesn't work like the Windows Unikey. Are there differences? I'm trying to use Telex. | 10:25 |
| belgianguy | netcat doesn't respond btw, but Chrome connects to it, and then closes for an odd reason | 10:25 |
| phantome | btw, anyone know how to solve the disappearing mouse problem in natty? | 10:26 |
| belgianguy | I think it's because 14+ support a different standard, so I wanted to try to what handshakes it would respond | 10:26 |
| damo22 | belgianguy: doesnt the client need to listen on a port too? | 10:26 |
| belgianguy | damo22, in PuTTy (Windows) once established, I can send some text (request) to the text, and the response would be there in the same window | 10:27 |
| ambro718 | Hi. I want to make some software of mine accessible to Ubuntu users by making a package. How exactly do I do that? How to I make that easily accessible to users? | 10:29 |
| damo22 | belgianguy: should be able to use nc -l 9090 in one terminal and nc myserver 9090 in the other terminal and make sure you tell the server to use port 9090 to echo back? | 10:29 |
| belgianguy | damo22, I see, so it has a listener and a sending component | 10:30 |
| MonkeyDust | ambro718: by making a PPA | 10:30 |
| damo22 | belgianguy: sorry im not familiar with websocket though | 10:31 |
| belgianguy | damo22, it's HTTP in fact, with some extra fields, part of HTML5 :) | 10:31 |

| cheenu | damo22, i know that....but how to make use of that command????pls tell me the syntax | 10:33 |
| zykotick9 | cheenu, in addition to find there is locate or whereis depending on what you're looking for | 10:33 |
| damo22 | MonkeyDust: his english seems pretty good to me | 10:33 |
| zykotick9 | cheenu, "find / -iname FOO" | 10:33 |

| ActionParsnip | lartz: is the storage drive old? | 10:44 |
| FeciQ | Hehellloo | 10:44 |
| lartz | hmm 3 years max | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | lartz: hmm, should be ok. How much RAM do you have? | 10:45 |
| lartz | 2gb | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | lartz: that's plent. I thought you'd say 256Mb which would make your system use swap more and explain the noise | 10:46 |
| lartz | This problem came with LTS version, no problem with 11.04 (Natty) version. Weird? | 10:46 |
| lartz | and that noise comes from speakers | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | lartz: so where is the problem if it's not in 11.04? | 10:46 |
| lartz | 10.42.2 LTS version | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lartz: then why not just use Natty... | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | lartz: maybe the newer kernel makes things nicer for your hardwre | 10:48 |
| lartz | No idea, I use that then. What difference betheen natty and lts version | 10:48 |
| lartz | natty works with me? 1.6ghz, 2gb ram and no idea about video card | 10:49 |

| damo22 | i have trouble with my sound on my mythtv box, it doesnt remember the mixer levels when i reboot | 10:50 |
| BrainBug[BE] | damo22, did you do 'alsactl store ' after settings are good? under the same user? | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | damo22: could add a startup item to set the levels. You can control them with cli commands | 10:50 |
| damo22 | brianbug yes | 10:51 |
| damo22 | actionparsnip i hacked my rc.local to do sudo alsactl restore | 10:51 |
| damo22 | but it doesnt work, however when i run rc.local manually it works | 10:52 |

| ActionParsnip | damo22: very strange, could add a startup item to your desktop session instead | 10:53 |
| BrainBug[BE] | damo22, try this: preferences -> startup application ' /usr/bin/amixer -q -c 0 -- sset Master 40% | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond: can you pastebin the output of: free -m | 10:53 |
| Lasers | damo22: You put "sudo" in rc.local? -_- | 10:53 |
| damo22 | lasers, no i went by memory, i dont use sudo there | 10:54 |
| Lasers | damo22: Good. Just checking. | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | damo22: you can add a startup entry to run rc.local should be ok | 10:54 |
| Hemebond | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/685158/ | 10:54 |
| Lasers | damo22: Try "sudo alsactl store 0" | 10:55 |
| Lasers | damo22: It's probably for nothing -- but 0 implies first profile. | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Hemebond: if you run: top it should show the main culprits RAM use | 10:55 |
| lartz | okey thanks for help im going to try 11.04 now | 10:55 |
| damo22 | Lasers: i have stored the state successfully because when i run sudo alsactl restore it comes good, but i want this to run automatically when i start my computer | 10:56 |
| Hemebond | ActionParsnip: VIRT? | 10:56 |
| Lasers | damo22: You're almost there. You have to figure out how to make it work for your setup. | 10:57 |
| damo22 | Lasers: my workaround is to bind one of my remote control buttons to run "/bin/bash /etc/rc.local" | 10:58 |

| zykotick9 | cheenu, "type f" ONLY looks for files, use "find / -iname cricket" | 11:03 |
| zykotick9 | cheenu, also ./ means search for your present location and below ONLY | 11:04 |
| bashelina | if you reinstall a new ubuntu system on the system partition.. and leave the home partiotion intact | 11:06 |
| bashelina | is it not nessesary to remove all confi dot files in home ?? | 11:07 |
| Hemebond | bashelina: Not really, but it might help avoid problems. | 11:07 |
| zykotick9 | bashelina, the .FOO_STUFF in home CAN cause issues (if it's different versions OR if there are configuration problems in your home settings) | 11:08 |
| bashelina | Hemebond, the new isntalled applications wont overwrite to old dot files right ? | 11:08 |
| bashelina | zykotick9, so i should try to remove each one of them ? | 11:09 |
| Hemebond | bashelina: Not if they can use them. I usually restore application directories to retain application settings. | 11:09 |
| zykotick9 | bashelina, ONLY remove them if there are issues | 11:09 |
| Hemebond | But I do it on a per-application basis. | 11:09 |

| mainemike | trying to use a .prf? | 11:12 |
| ktwo | any idea how to change wlan N to G (using RTL8192CU module from realtek page, compiled module) | 11:12 |
| danub | xfce_murderer: you have to make sure its executable, then './' to tell it "look in the current directory for this program" | 11:12 |
| danub | yeah | 11:12 |
| mainemike | I had problems with import, so what I did was take the .prf, view with less...then take the group password hash, and use one of the many cisco password crackers to get the real password, then manually config a new connection | 11:14 |
| danub | mainemike: i dont know the network secrets though | 11:15 |

| mainemike | that's okay - they're in the .prf. The password(s) in the .prf are Cisco type 5 or 7. | 11:16 |
| mainemike | You take the hashed password and put it into one of the Cisco password cracker utils out there - there's alot of them | 11:16 |

| mainemike | you going to use OpenVPN? | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | corehook: the firmware is proprietary, you need to install the tool to extract YOUR firmware from your system and the error will go | 11:19 |
| danub | mainmike, yeah i have that on a flash drive if i need to. | 11:19 |
| mainemike | danub: Let me see if I can find you the original instructions I used to try to import a Win .prf into OpenVPN...there is a way...brb | 11:20 |
| corehook | where i can got MY firmware ? | 11:20 |
| mainemike | danub: sorry..it's not a .prf but a .pcf | 11:21 |
| danub | mainemike: yeah, i knew what you meant | 11:21 |
| danub | :) | 11:21 |
| mainemike | danub: you using OpenVPN or VPNC? | 11:21 |

| Johnny_Giggles | ActionParsnip: I tried to use shred but it only does files, not directories | 12:02 |
| jaco | what i have to do to reconfigure this? | 12:02 |
| jrib | openlink: are you trying to reobtain the sites-available directory that you deleted through apt? | 12:02 |
| RedViper | In GIMP, how do I make it print the whole page, and not leave white boarders? | 12:02 |
| Stanley00 | openlink: sorry, I dont know about apache, you should ask someone else, sorry... | 12:03 |

| openlink | Stanley00, ok | 12:03 |
| zykotick9 | Lantizia, 1.6 GHz Atom with onboard VGA, I "personally" doubt it, but maybe | 12:03 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: System: Administration: Additional Drivers. | 12:04 |
| jaco | i have two monitors conected to my raedon vga card with the two of themn detected, the problem is the screen size... | 12:05 |
| Lantizia | zykotick9, dual core and 64bit though | 12:06 |
| jaco | i used xrandr --auto | 12:06 |
| jaco | help help help | 12:07 |
| Myrtti | jaco: try arandr? | 12:07 |
| jaco | what command is to configure as it | 12:07 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: Does that help? | 12:08 |
| dejwoo | :RedViper i tried that, but after i activated driver, unity stopped working, switch to classic mode, in Add.drivers was that driver is active but not in use | 12:08 |
| jrib | openlink: are you trying to use apt to reobtain the sites-available directory that you deleted? | 12:09 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: i heard that it might be problem of nvidia optimus, dont know how to work around that | 12:09 |
| zykotick9 | Lantizia, ya my netbook has an atom n450, dual core 64 1.66Ghz - and it can't play 1080 video? but I'm certainly not SURE about the one your checking out. Good luck. | 12:10 |
| Vinn0 | anyone awake? | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Vinn0: barely | 12:13 |
| openlink | jrib, with apt-get install and purge doesnt work | 12:14 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: Try reinstalling it. I had that same problem myself. The other thing that might help is updates, I updated my computer and it was fine after that. | 12:16 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: Okey gonna try it now | 12:17 |
| airtonix | openlink: so did you bother to use --reinstall ? | 12:18 |
| airtonix | openlink: or sudo dpkg-reconfigure apache2 | 12:18 |
| airtonix | openlink: or even rm /etc/apache2 -rf && sudo apt-get purge apache2 && sudo apt-get install apache2 --reinstall | 12:19 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: Let me know on the out come. | 12:19 |
| openlink | airtonix, no i will do it now | 12:19 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: i have in AddDrivers 2 options, Nvidia current, and som Nvidia experimental 3D support, first i try that recommended | 12:19 |
| bambanx | anyone are using teamviewer on ubuntu 11 ? | 12:19 |
| airtonix | openlink: apt won't replace files for a folder that exists if i remember correctly. | 12:20 |
| Stanley00 | bambanx: I rarely use that... | 12:20 |
| Busco_una_perra_ | hola | 12:20 |
| Stanley00 | bambanx: just use for support my friend's window :)) | 12:21 |
| airtonix | openlink: so if you remove the /etc/apache2 directory then you'll probably also want to re install any apache mods you installed | 12:21 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: Try the recommended first. If it doesen't work try the other. But you should normally stick with the recommended. | 12:21 |
| gypsymauro | hi | 12:22 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: okey, gonna restart, so will see what happens with recommended | 12:22 |
| gypsymauro | I saw that ofteon on planet.ubuntu.org there are some screenshots like this one: http://victorpalau.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/final1.png wich software was used to do that? | 12:22 |
| openlink | airtonix, yes apt doesnt remove files | 12:23 |
| openlink | airtonix, i tried to remove manually, now i have another error : : 49: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars | 12:24 |
| airtonix | openlink: doing what? | 12:24 |
| openlink | airtonix, i removed apache2 directory, i reinstall with --reinstall | 12:25 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: Nope didnt work, im now in classic mode | 12:25 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: So is it working? | 12:25 |
| openlink | but apache2 still not exist | 12:25 |
| openlink | airtonix, but apache2 still not exist | 12:25 |
| openlink | airtonix, i did "rm /etc/apache2 -rf" then "sudo apt-get purge apache2" then "sudo apt-get install apache2 --reinstall" | 12:26 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: it keeps saynig This driver is activated but not currently in use | 12:26 |
| airtonix | openlink: try normal install now | 12:26 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: And unity wont work when i have nvidia driver installed | 12:27 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: Ok try updating, Thats how I fixed my problem. | 12:27 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: trough update center? | 12:28 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: No, System: Administration: Update Manager. | 12:29 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: no updates avalaible, yea i ment that | 12:29 |
| openlink | airtonix, same error | 12:29 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: no updates avalaible in update manager, says im up to date | 12:29 |
| oCean | openlink: I think you should purge apache2 and apache2.2-common completely | 12:29 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: i might try that experimental driver.. | 12:30 |
| qin | openlink: Maybe: sudo apt-get install -f | 12:30 |
| oCean | openlink: first apt-get purge apache2 apache2.2-common | 12:30 |
| oCean | openlink: after that, use dpkg -l apache2 and apache2.2 common to check for install status | 12:30 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: Ok give it a shot. | 12:30 |
| openlink | airtonix, i did "apt-get purge apache2 apache2.2-common", after i do apt-get install or dpkg... ? | 12:32 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: Any luck? | 12:33 |
| Ntemis | am facing a real problem on my laptop, cant boot any ubuntu i tried 10.4 11.04 etc all ends to freezes and shutdown | 12:34 |

| oCean | openlink: any output for dpkg -l |grep apache2 at this moment? | 12:34 |
| Ntemis | Amilo M1420 centrino 2ghz with 2gb ram 2x1gb 9600 Pro latest bios v1.26 | 12:35 |
| Ntemis | What i must do to have ubuntu on it? | 12:35 |
| EmulatedGeek | Windows Server discriminates Ubuntu! | 12:35 |
| openlink | oCean, apache2-utils and apache2.2-bin | 12:36 |
| Ntemis | I have windows xp and they run fine, also i can install Vista but not Win7 it says not fully acpi complaint | 12:36 |
| Ntemis | bios | 12:36 |
| EmulatedGeek | Got a Win2k8R2 server running DNS, everywhere it works, but Ubuntu clients can't even ping hostnames | 12:36 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: installing now, see what we get | 12:36 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: there is an option for windows dns that says you must be a domain memeber to use the resolution, disable that option | 12:37 |
| EmulatedGeek | On RHEL, Debian and Windows it works without a hitch | 12:37 |
| lucas71 | hello everyone | 12:37 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: what does the windows domain logs show when the request hits | 12:37 |
| lucas71 | i have a question, could you try to help me...? | 12:37 |
| Ntemis | any help guys | 12:37 |
| oCean | openlink: those are not the configfiles, I think you can try reinstalling now: sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common | 12:38 |
| lucas71 | Ntemis, I need a help | 12:38 |
| EmulatedGeek | nothing | 12:38 |
| Ntemis | lol shoot | 12:38 |
| sattu94 | lucas71: dont ask to ask, just ask. | 12:38 |
| beasty | morning all | 12:38 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: do you see the hit ? | 12:38 |
| oCean | openlink: after that, check to see if you have the /etc/apache2/sites-available directory again | 12:38 |
| EmulatedGeek | no! | 12:38 |
| EmulatedGeek | I can resolve the hostname, but I can't ping to it or browse to it | 12:38 |
| openlink | oCean, yeah fixed :) thank you | 12:38 |
| beasty | i'm trying to figure out a way how i can manage to set a tri head with 2 video cards in ubuntu (nvidia) | 12:38 |
| oCean | openlink: yay! | 12:38 |
| fasta | Does anyone uses Ekiga here, if so, please PM me. | 12:38 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: that's nothing to do with dns | 12:39 |
| EmulatedGeek | on RHEL it works out of the box, after I updated the DNS | 12:39 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: if you can resolve the hostname, dns is working | 12:39 |
| openlink | qin, fixed, thank you | 12:39 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: okey it looks like its working, anyway how to know for a sure that im using nvidia card? | 12:39 |
| lucas71 | Ntemis, sorry I'm nooby on irc - i have very low volume in Nautilus preview, and I don't know which application is responsible for it | 12:39 |
| EmulatedGeek | so, why I can't do anything with the name on Ubuntu, while others work? | 12:39 |
| Ntemis | also tried mint lxde 11 same thing | 12:39 |
| EmulatedGeek | pingin the resolved IP works | 12:39 |
| Ntemis | i tried failsafe | 12:39 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: open a terminal in ubuntu and type "nslookup $hostname" replacing the hostname with one of your machines hostnames | 12:40 |
| Ntemis | am on command prompt and when startx it crashes xorg | 12:40 |
| EmulatedGeek | yes, I have done that | 12:40 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: Because only difference is that unity works | 12:40 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: ok, what happens | 12:40 |
| Ntemis | something about cannot find screen | 12:40 |
| EmulatedGeek | and I can't ping the hostname | 12:40 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: tht's not what I asked | 12:40 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: I said nothing about ping | 12:40 |
| EmulatedGeek | but pinging the resolved IP works | 12:40 |
| EmulatedGeek | ahh | 12:40 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: ok - I'm going to stop helping you unless you LISTEN | 12:40 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: open a terminal in ubuntu and type "nslookup $hostname" replacing the hostname with one of your machines hostnames | 12:40 |
| EmulatedGeek | es | 12:41 |
| nixzhu | 各位好，中文能看懂吗？ | 12:41 |
| EmulatedGeek | *yes | 12:41 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: tell me the result you get back | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | EmulatedGeek: run: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf delete ALL text and add this line: nameserver 8.8.8.8 save the new file, close getit, then try the web. Is it ok? | 12:41 |
| aeon-ltd | !cn > nixzhu | 12:41 |
| ubottu | nixzhu, please see my private message | 12:41 |
| ikonia | aeon-ltd: no | 12:41 |
| aeon-ltd | k | 12:41 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: no | 12:41 |
| ikonia | EmulatedGeek: do not do that | 12:41 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: how is that going to resolve his internal network | 12:41 |
| sattu94 | !cn > sattu94 | 12:41 |
| ubottu | sattu94, please see my private message | 12:41 |
| Ntemis | lucas71: you mean when you hover mouse on mp3 you want to listen to higher sound? | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: internal, not web? | 12:42 |
| EmulatedGeek | the nameserver is allready on the right IP | 12:42 |
| EmulatedGeek | I think this is wrong channel anyhow | 12:42 |
| lucas71 | Ntemis, yes, its exactly my problem | 12:42 |

| RedViper | dejwoo: Please tell me you have good news? | 12:48 |
| Ntemis | what is your sound card lucas? | 12:49 |
| lucas71 | Ntemis another thing is I can hear the sound from eg mp3, but its VERY low volume | 12:49 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: So is it working? | 12:49 |
| Ntemis | update the alsa driver from ppa | 12:50 |
| lucas71 | I have onboard sound card, i dont remember exactly name of it... | 12:50 |
| RedViper | dejwoo: Have you got compiz installed? | 12:50 |
| Ntemis | realtek | 12:50 |
| lucas71 | hmm... I didnt think about it Ntemis... | 12:50 |
| lucas71 | probably yes, Realtek... | 12:51 |
| Ntemis | is either that or via | 12:51 |
| Ntemis | cmedia is dead :) | 12:51 |

| Ntemis | pick a different sound out put from the sound icon on the right | 12:53 |
| oCean | !who | Ntemis | 12:54 |
| ubottu | Ntemis: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 12:54 |
| Ntemis | probably this is your problem | 12:54 |
| Ntemis | lucas71:pick a different sound out put from the sound icon on the right | 12:54 |
| dejwoo | RedViper: whats compiz? | 12:54 |
| sre | hi community friends. I have a problem that is probably my fault. I am to fast for my keyboard. when I type to fast the letters doesn't turn up on the screen. double letters like 'ee' or double backspace is the same. I can't remember doing any settings to get this delay. any suggestions on where to fix it. or get the default keyboard settings back ? | 12:54 |
| Ntemis | any help for me ppl? | 12:55 |
| lucas71 | Ntemis, my english is too poor, so I didnt understandt the you last sentence... :( | 12:55 |
| mr-smile | hi all. I have a problem with my ubuntu 10.10 | 12:55 |
| xangua | sre: tried keyboard settings¿ | 12:55 |
| mr-smile | I can't log in Ubuntu | 12:56 |
| sre | feel stupid. but I can't find a solution for it. it's like slow keys have been enforced. | 12:56 |
| Ntemis | lucas71: right click on sound icon on upper right and then settings and pick a dif output | 12:56 |
| nightripe | hi people, how can i reinstall nvidia-xserver-settings for autodetection my screen ? Samsung syncmaster 2443, i can't get 1920 x 1200 resolution | 12:56 |
| lucas71 | Ntemis, what you mean: "the sound on the right"? right of what...? | 12:56 |
| g0th | hi | 12:56 |
| g0th | I use thunderbird and I would like to move all my filters to another account | 12:56 |
| g0th | how do I do that? | 12:56 |
| ikonia | g0th: it's annoying you have to do it manually, | 12:56 |
| g0th | the first account is for gmx, the second for gmail | 12:56 |
| Ntemis | lucas71: upper right of upper bar on the screen | 12:57 |
| g0th | but I have around 500 filters | 12:57 |
| g0th | some very complicated | 12:57 |
| ikonia | g0th: I've got a request for a filter export to file option, but it's not been picked up | 12:57 |
| g0th | it must be possible | 12:57 |
| g0th | to do it manually | 12:57 |
| g0th | not from the gui I mean | 12:57 |
| ikonia | g0th: no, it's not, hence why I have the feature request logged | 12:57 |
| g0th | moving files/etc | 12:58 |
| sre | xangua, I am able to adjust the key setting for repeat key. still a double tap doesn't show if I am normally fast | 12:58 |
| ikonia | g0th: the filters are not contained in a file | 12:58 |
| g0th | the easiest would be if you could drag and drop | 12:58 |
| g0th | where are they? | 12:58 |
| ikonia | g0th: but you CAN'T | 12:58 |
| stoneman | i have dell 5110 with kubuntu 10.04 and i have integrate intel video card and NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 525m card... how to switch to nvidia.. ?? pls some help | 12:58 |
| g0th | this is a serious pain | 12:58 |
| g0th | this will cost me two days of work | 12:58 |
| ikonia | g0th: BanMeIfUsuckCock | 12:58 |
| ikonia | oops | 12:58 |
| ikonia | sorry, wrong buffer | 12:58 |
| zapotah | lol | 12:59 |
| ikonia | g0th: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/thunderbird-message-filter-imp/ | 12:59 |
| lucas71 | Ntemis, I have only analog stereo and headphones | 12:59 |
| ikonia | g0th: look at that, see if it works for you | 12:59 |
| zapotah | any idea why my ubuntu server fqdn doesnt resolve after i set a static ip on it even though the dns record is updated | 12:59 |
| Ntemis | lucas71: search better you must have digital out someplace | 13:00 |
| ikonia | zapotah: how do you know the dns name is updated ? | 13:00 |
| sre | any way to get back the default keyboard setting. I feel this must be something hanging from earlier versions. | 13:00 |
| zapotah | its on a different server and the record points to a correct address | 13:00 |
| ikonia | zapotah: ok, so what is the fully qualified domain name of the machine | 13:01 |
| zapotah | zapoubuntu.zaponet.local | 13:01 |
| mr-smile | I only log in Ubuntu via Recovery Mode. | 13:01 |
| xangua | ikonia: shame on you, yo should kick yourself ;) | 13:01 |
| mr-smile | How do I log in ubuntu? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | zapotah: if you type "nslookup zapoubuntu.zaponet.local" does it respond with an ip ? | 13:01 |
| zapotah | and the resolv.conf is set so that yes it does | 13:02 |
| zapotah | but | 13:02 |
| zapotah | wtf | 13:02 |
| ikonia | zapotah: stop the language | 13:02 |
| lucas71 | I haven't... | 13:02 |
| zapotah | the address has changed | 13:02 |
| zapotah | even though the configuration is the same | 13:02 |
| zapotah | no additional interfaces have been configured | 13:03 |
| ikonia | zapotah: so you know it's resolving from that dns server, so you need to contact someone to find out why you dns server is wrong | 13:03 |
| ikonia | zapotah: make sure you don't have an entry in /etc/hosts | 13:03 |
| lucas71 | Ntemis, i havent | 13:04 |
| sre | it's like quick double tap on a key isn't allow. like I need 1 second delay before the second keystroke for it to register. | 13:04 |
| sre | else it's goog | 13:04 |
| sre | good | 13:04 |
| zapotah | what should and shouldnt be in the hosts file | 13:04 |
| zapotah | ? | 13:04 |
| ikonia | zapotah: what ever you want, it's your machine | 13:04 |
| zapotah | yes but theres ofc the 127.0.0.1 for the machine itself | 13:04 |
| zapotah | but can that interfere with the name resolution? | 13:05 |
| sre | so. password will be pasword with my touchspeed | 13:05 |
| ikonia | zapotah: no, as thats localhost | 13:05 |
| zapotah | thought so | 13:05 |
| ikonia | zapotah: the issue is the server in /etc/resolv.conf - contact whoever manages that and ask them to fix your dns setup | 13:05 |
| zapotah | i manage it | 13:05 |
| zapotah | ^^ | 13:05 |
| ikonia | zapotah: then fix it | 13:05 |

| ubottu | jpmh: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 13:07 |
| iceroot | jpmh: if you only want the same packages | 13:07 |

| B0g4r7 | Sure, you can get the .deb from 11.04, but odds are it depends on some other packages from 11.04, which depend on some others, etc. | 14:08 |

| Etherael | it seems most things are working, however, a few things seem to be missing. | 14:50 |
| Etherael | for example, I had mysql, I don't anymore. | 14:50 |
| lucas71 | could you tell me how to late "listening" of line-in | 14:50 |
| Etherael | I'm not sure why? | 14:50 |
| Etherael | the /var/lib/mysql is still there, but it is owned by 115:6 (and the /etc/passwd doesn't know those users) | 14:50 |
| Etherael | hmmm. | 14:50 |
| mneptok | Etherael: cp is not a good backup tool. especially when it's invoked as a non-root user ;) | 14:51 |
| oCean | mbeierl: well, I use it remotely, but you can also 're-attach' locally, don't know how to explain better - there's lots of info on the nomachine.com site | 14:51 |

| bartmon | B0g4r7: It's even stranger when issuing signals that don't end a process, like sudo kill -SIGUSR1 {procid of dd} which makes dd print out progress stats. | 15:05 |

| B0g4r7 | jpjp, I'm not too sure about the cause of that. I would recommend trying the operating using the command-line tools. 'sudo mkfs /dev/sda2' | 15:38 |
| sinistrad | redhare, if you run into another problem like that, you can run the command "killall mozilla" and it will kill all of the mozilla processes. I'm not sure if it will kill others though that depend on mozilla | 15:38 |

| Sam___ | Okay, thanks for your help. | 15:39 |
| Sam___ | :) | 15:39 |
| sakjur | Sam___: Well, it's different; however - it's all about the user.. | 15:39 |
| B0g4r7 | sinistrad, that should work assuming you are using linux's normal software raid system (mdadm). You can first boot from a livecd and tet to see if you can access the existsing raid. | 15:39 |
| sinistrad | B0g4r7, Thanks. I should have thought of that! I'll test it out. | 15:40 |

| B0g4r7 | w3bg33k: Normally a hard drive, yes. In a virtualized environment it may be something else, but to the virtualized OS it would appear to be a hard drive, yes/ | 15:44 |
| usr13 | intgr: I've not set something like this up so all I know is what I've seen in the last few minutes. But they are calling it a "BIOS boot partition" and grub2 will use it in addition to MBR. | 15:44 |

| fmina | ActionParsnip: i think this is ubuntu related considering on other distros nautilus probably wouldn't be installed by default and it seems to be the ubuntu wm selector at the user screen not running it properly | 15:49 |

| hiLo | I have a question not exactly related to ubuntu, but maybe someone will help. Yesterday I downloaded file from internet and after that, I opened wireshark. There were packets sent between my computer and a server in China... I'm in Europe right now. The protocol was just ICMP, but should I be worried? I have no idea if downloading the file is related (today, I ran it again and wireshark didn't detect anything). | 15:54 |
| mneptok | grumete: very latest Sandy Bridge iteration. you may need to run a kernel newer than what the currently released Ubuntu has. | 15:54 |

| usr13 | webfact: Just like Desktop addition, the server install comes with root account disabled. | 16:07 |
| webfact | ActionParsnip: The problem is someone borked the sudoers file, so the one account we were able to control the server with is now useless. Guy who set it up says there is no root password. I just dont understand how that can be. | 16:07 |
| jollyroger | +1 for terminator | 16:07 |
| B0g4r7 | metacoder, hopefully that will give you an idea of what driver (kernel module) to use, or if one exists. | 16:07 |

| B0g4r7 | The password sudo prompts for is your account password, not the root password. | 16:10 |
| TheGoof | i am not into anything but getting myu verizon modem up | 16:10 |
| meta-coder | B0g4r7: In 12a7:3160 I think 12a7 is the manufacturer ID, so should I grep only 3160? | 16:11 |
| usr13 | webfact: Since you do not know for sure, you should ask. (He may have enabled root account and that is why he changed sudoers.) | 16:11 |
| fmina | usr13: its not even running openbox though, it just loads nautilus for some strange reason | 16:11 |
| B0g4r7 | metacoder, I just said that hopefully that will give you an idea of what driver (kernel module) to use, or if one exists. | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeyJoeJo: could kill the dpkg process and then run: sudo apt-get -f install | 16:11 |
| MonkeyDust | JoeyJoeJo: restart the pc and choose Recovery in the grub, there, you can repair | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | JoeyJoeJo | 16:11 |
| ubottu | JoeyJoeJo: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 16:11 |
| B0g4r7 | Yeah, I would grep for the two IDs individually. | 16:11 |
| usr13 | fmina: What window manager is running? | 16:11 |
| meta-coder | B0g4r7: where is the kernel source? | 16:11 |
| B0g4r7 | meta-coder, typically in /usr/src/linux if it's installed. You can download kernel source from kernel.org. | 16:12 |
| usr13 | fmina: You could do: Ctrl-Alt-F6 and login and pkill nautilis | 16:12 |

| vick | Hello. I have a user account on an ubuntu machine and i am compiling software that requires libcppunit, however it is not installed on the system.

| wwmorgan | I added a repository with apt-add-repository, but it doesn't show up when I run apt-get update, and apt-get install doesn't see the software in the repo. Do I need to tell apt-get which repo to use? | 16:14 |
| usr13 | webfact: Just look at /etc/group and see that the user is added to the groups it needs to be, especilly admin | 16:14 |
| B0g4r7 | vick, this is often done by adding the path to /etc/ld.so.conf. You might also have a look at the LDFLAGS env variable. | 16:15 |
| B0g4r7 | and/or CFLAGS | 16:15 |
| meta-coder | B0g4r7: If I find something by grep, then what should I do? What modules and how? | 16:15 |
| MonkeyDust | wwmorgan: you have to apt-get update, first, to activate the new repo | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | wwmorgan: apt will look at the versions available and install the latest version available if it is newer than is already installed | 16:15 |
| usr13 | webfact: If the other sysadmin decided to move to a root enabled system, there are a couple of things that he would logically change and /etc/group would be one in particular. | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | wwmorgan: which repo did you add? | 16:16 |
| miaz | usr13: ok it does run openbox but that nautilus is going to come up every time, is there a way to stop that? | 16:16 |
| B0g4r7 | meta-coder, note the file that the match was found in. If it looks like a device driver file, that may be the one you want to load/use. | 16:16 |
| B0g4r7 | Usually the module will be built with the same filename as the source file. Look for it on /lib/modules. | 16:16 |

| wwmorgan | ^ ActionParsnip, thanks | 16:17 |
| webfact | usr13: Well, the account we used to use for root access is in the adm and admin groups (and some others) but not root. That's no help to us is it? | 16:17 |
| usr13 | miaz: There should be something like "Startup Applications" Look in there. | 16:17 |
| B0g4r7 | Modules are usually loaded using modprobe. | 16:17 |
| B0g4r7 | "sudo modprobe module_name" | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | wwmorgan: so if you run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gezakovacs/coffeescript does it say it is unchanged? | 16:17 |
| wwmorgan | ActionParsnip: yes | 16:18 |
| MonkeyDust | wwmorgan: try sudo apt-get update | 16:18 |
| vick | B0g4r7, i will try with LDFLAGS and CFLAGS, i wouldn't have permission to /etc/ld.so.conf | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | wwmorgan: ok run: apt-cache policy coffeescript does the ppa show up | 16:18 |
| B0g4r7 | meta-coder, I don't have all the detailed answers. I'm just trying to provide some guidelines to point you in the right direction. | 16:18 |
| Pici | wwmorgan: That PPA doesn't provide any coffeescript packages for 11.04. | 16:18 |
| B0g4r7 | vick: Cool. also LD_LIBRARY_PATH is one more you may want. | 16:19 |
| usr13 | webfact: Well, you could do ls -l /etc/group and maybe determine from the date when it was last edited. Also /etc/sudoers You could also look at history to see what commands were issued previously, etc. etc. | 16:19 |
| wwmorgan | Pici: aha. That's probably what it is. ActionParsnip: yep, only the OS repo version shows up as a candidate | 16:20 |
| dmtarmey | does anyone use seopowersuite | 16:20 |

| scotty^ | Are there any plans to update the Ubuntu derivatives page at http://www.ubuntu.com/project/derivatives to include Lubuntu, given the Oneiric release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/TechnicalOverview/Beta1 ? | 17:08 |
| os_ | 17:08 | |
| Pici | scotty^: You may want to consider filing a bug under the ubuntu-website project on launchpad with that bit of info. | 17:09 |
| Pici | scotty^: or, more-likely, it'll be changed when oneiric is released. | 17:09 |
| B0g4r7 | More broadly, what are you trying to achieve? Why do you want to boot from a USB CD or whatever you're trying to boot from? | 17:09 |
| Ristovski | Jordan_U: will you guide me? | 17:09 |
| Jordan_U | Ristovski: Yes, I'm trying to think. | 17:09 |
| Ristovski | Jordan_U: ok | 17:09 |
| Jordan_U | Ristovski: First I would recommend doing a normal install, not LiveUSB, to the USB drive if it's large enough. | 17:10 |
| Ristovski | Jordan_U: I installed on SD card my USb was 2 GB it said its small | 17:10 |
| Jordan_U | Ristovski: Why do you want this persistant USB? You aren't going to be able to upgrade it like you would a normal install. | 17:11 |
| Ristovski | Jordan_U: I dont have time for telling Im sick of it Im trying to boot it for 2 weeks | 17:12 |
| Jordan_U | Ristovski: What I'd like to walk you through will take me more than 30 minutes to prepare instructions for. | 17:12 |
| Ristovski | Jordan_U: nvm Ill stay online just guide me | 17:12 |
| mrgt_ | hey guys, I installed HPLIP (toolbox) to connect to my Printer (HP Photosmart C4780 wireless) and it seemed to find the printer but I can't print anything to it! I get an error - "Device communication error 5012". Anyone know what's going on ? | 17:13 |
| Ubuntu1 | Hello. I have 11.04 installed and a few days ago it started giving me warnings when I ran sudo; "sudo: unable to resolve host stratus". I've verified that /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname are correct and have rebooted the server just in case. Still it gives me that error. I checked online but haven't found an alternate solution. Was wondering if anybody here could point me in the right direction. Thanks! | 17:14 |
| Ristovski | Jordan_U: so how to make an boot cd to boot off USB? | 17:14 |
| Jordan_U | Ristovski: I need to leave. Sorry. Try asking in #grub how to make a boot CD that will allow you to access USB drives on a BIOS without USB support. | 17:14 |
| zoned | after i set up my .htpasswd and .htaccess files, is there a configuration file i need to edit to enforce these/turn the protection on? | 17:14 |
| xangua | http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/plop-boot-manager-lets-you-boot-from.html how about this Ristovski | 17:14 |
| Ristovski | xangua: Ill have a look | 17:14 |
| Ristovski | xangua: I dont have so many cds to burn... | 17:15 |
| neil_m | mrgt_ is it connected wirelessly? | 17:15 |
| mrgt_ | yeah | 17:15 |
| neil_m | you got cups running? | 17:15 |
| mrgt_ | I don't know.. | 17:15 |
| Jordan_U | Ristovski: Plop should work. | 17:15 |
| Ristovski | Jordan_U: dont have so many cds | 17:16 |
| Ristovski | also theyre only CD/R nor RW | 17:16 |
| xangua | ...... | 17:16 |
| zoned | after i set up my .htpasswd and .htaccess files, is there a configuration file i need to edit to enforce these/turn the protection on? | 17:16 |
| xangua | you just said you wanted a way to boot usb from cd and now you say you don't have cd's...... | 17:16 |
| mang0 | Is it possible to change the login theme? Not just the wallpaper/icon, I've got that with ubuntu-tweak, but with the whole theme - buttons fonts etc. In older versions of ubuntu you could do this by going System -> Administration -> Login Window Preferances and then installing a theme. This window is no longer here, how can I install a theme? | 17:17 |
| Pici | mang0: you can't. GNOME changed how gdm worked in recent releases, and it no longer supports the themes for prior versions. | 17:17 |
| neil_m | mrgt_ make sure cups is running, that the printer has the necessary network information added in the menu, and that you have it pointing to the right URI | 17:17 |
| neil_m | i set my photosmart uptoday wirelessly because i was bored, went well but didnt know the address to point it to. had to google for the uri | 17:18 |
| mang0 | Pici: :O! That seems like a very backwards step :/. Is there any way to install new themes? Rather than GDM? GTK maybe...? Or is it not possible at all? | 17:18 |
| glebihan | zoned, in order for the .htaccess file to be used, you have to use the AllowOverride directive in your virtualhost configuration. I suggest you ask in #httpd for more details | 17:18 |
| neil_m | and it worked after that :D | 17:18 |
| zoned | gelbihan: in #httpd they will just direct me to the apache basic auth page. it's not the same on ubuntu. there is no httpd.conf, for example. | 17:19 |
| Pici | mang0: I vaugely recall that you might be able to setup a default gtk theme to take effect, but I don't know how to do that. | 17:19 |
| glebihan | zoned, the directives are the same | 17:19 |
| Jordan_U | Ristovski: Plop is definitely worth a CD to try. If it works (which it most likely will) it will be very flexible, allowing you to boot anything from USB rather than just a single live system decided at the time you create the CD (like the original guide you mentioned is limited to). | 17:19 |
| Pici | zoned: They're just stored in site-specific files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ | 17:19 |
| glebihan | zoned, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride | 17:19 |

| SealedWithAKiss | I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 in a dual boot configuration. However, the installation wizard is only giving me two options. The first being to use the entire disk (which will of course remove the Windows 7 installation) and the second being to manually configure the partitions (something I'm concerned about doing). Why isn't the option to install the side by side appearing? | 17:20 |
| MonkeyDust | Oogypoogy: boot in Recovery mode | 17:20 |
| Monotoko | Oogypoogy, remove the hard drive..? | 17:20 |
| ikonia | SealedWithAKiss: I've told you why it's not appearing | 17:20 |

| Oogypoogy | I removed the harddrive, but that is the harddrive that has my installation | 17:20 |
| Oogypoogy | How do I boot to recovery? | 17:20 |
| Monotoko | I mean from the boot order | 17:20 |
| MonkeyDust | Oogypoogy: it's in the GRUB | 17:21 |
| Monotoko | so it boots from LiveCD first | 17:21 |
| mang0 | Pici: Aww, shame. Ah well :/ | 17:21 |
| Monotoko | (in your BIOS) | 17:21 |

| gf45 | hello. i use ubuntu 10.10. when i start a guest session i cannot use my bluetooth-headset there. i can connect to it, but it is not showing up in the device list of the sound preferences. any idea how to use the bluetooth-headset in a guest session? | 17:22 |
| Oogypoogy | Note that My windows installation also boots slowly as it has issues probing that drive - i physically removed the drive and Windows booted up at normal speed.... | 17:22 |
| Monotoko | Oogypoogy, it sounds to me like the hardware is screwed...how old is that drive? | 17:22 |
| Oogypoogy | MonkeyDust, so when I get to Grub, do you know which Function key to hit? | 17:22 |
| SealedWithAKiss | How do I go about creating unallocated space using the partition manager inside the Ubuntu installation wizard? Considering that Windows 7 currently takes up the entire disk? | 17:23 |
| cage_raphel | hello.. how to increase my brightness on my laptop screen.. i am running 10.04 LTS from my hdd | 17:23 |
| Oogypoogy | Monotoko: Not that old. 2 Year. I am running right now on a USB puppy linux instance | 17:23 |
| Oogypoogy | Can I post a pastebin of my Fdisk -l? | 17:23 |
| Monotoko | Oogypoogy, your running on a USB puppy instance with the drive in? | 17:24 |
| cage_raphel | hello.. how to increase my brightness on my laptop screen.. i am running 10.04 LTS from my hdd | 17:24 |
| Oogypoogy | Yup | 17:24 |
| ikonia | SealedWithAKiss: you'll have to partition manually, shrink the windows partition and create space for ubuntu | 17:24 |
| Oogypoogy | Monotoko, Yup. | 17:24 |
| OY1R | cage_raphel, that's most likely not anything to to with Ubuntu per se. try Fn+ some key | 17:24 |
| Oogypoogy | I was hoping to run some sort of diag on it. | 17:24 |
| Nifel | get inside in power managment | 17:24 |
| Monotoko | Oogypoogy, awesome...go for it, and also try to see if you can get the SMART data from that drive | 17:24 |

| ikonia | kvarley: overclock speed problems ? can you explain briefly what you mean | 17:25 |
| ikonia | SealedWithAKiss: this can be done within the wizard | 17:25 |

| Oogypoogy | Note, that I CAN get to grub. It just attempts to boot Ubuntu....I see the keyboard light up (installing drivers I imagine)...and then just endless drive light. | 17:26 |
| kvarley | ikonia: The overclocked speed which is set in the bios doesn't show in Ubuntu, not in the System Monitor or cpuinfo. I have run encoding and the cpuinfo only ever shows the cpu running at the stock speed. | 17:26 |
| OY1R | cage_raphel, look at your keyboard it should have a Fn (Function) button | 17:26 |
| Monotoko | Oogypoogy, as I can see...can you get the SMART data because it sounds like it might be failing...especially if it's slowing Windows down as well | 17:26 |
| ikonia | kvarley: as long as the bios shows it, that's the speed it's running at | 17:26 |
| kvarley | ikonia: How come Ubuntu and Windows don't show the overclocked speed? | 17:27 |
| Monotoko | can you get access to the files themselves from the pen drive or Windows? | 17:27 |
| gf45 | @OY1R: thx, but this thread does not offer a solution to the problem | 17:27 |
| Oogypoogy | How do I get the SMART data? I know Ubuntu's disk utility has that function, but in Puppy? | 17:27 |
| OY1R | cage_raphel, what's the make/model of your laptop | 17:27 |
| ikonia | kvarley: because they don't know about it | 17:27 |
| kvarley | ikonia: Surely cpuinfo should show the speed it's running at though? | 17:27 |
| SealedWithAKiss | ikonia, can you give me information that's more specific in describing the process of shrinking the Windows partition? | 17:27 |
| ikonia | Oogypoogy: ask in #puppylinux | 17:27 |
| Oogypoogy | ikonia: ok | 17:27 |
| ikonia | SealedWithAKiss: the install gui in manual mode is quite intiuitive | 17:27 |
| ikonia | kvarley: no, not always | 17:28 |
| kvarley | ikonia: Ah ok, well I'll look into it some more but thank you for the information :) | 17:28 |
| Monotoko | Oogypoogy, yeah...I'm not quite sure, feel free to PM me when you have the SMART data though | 17:28 |
| SealedWithAKiss | ikonia, well I'm using the GUI installer and have selected the manual option. Will I need to create a brand new partition table? | 17:29 |
| ikonia | SealedWithAKiss: no, you will need to update it once the resize has been completed, but the tool will do that for you | 17:29 |
| gf45 | using a bluetooth headset in a guest session -> any idea? | 17:32 |
| cage_raphel | OY1R, its compaq presario | 17:32 |

| OY1R | Ok nice. | 17:37 |
| MonkeyDust | thomasj73: depends on what you want to do | 17:38 |
| cage_raphel | OY1R, something told me that it can be something to do with the power management thing | 17:38 |
| thomasj73 | ikonia, currently on KDE4, I've used Gnome3 and Unity, all of which seem very 'bloated' was looking for something much more sleek | 17:38 |
| ikonia | thomasj73: try the others then | 17:38 |
| cage_raphel | OY1R, and when i checked in power management.. i found that brightness was set to 0%.. i increased to 100%.. it looks perfect now | 17:38 |

First off, whenever my system goes into power save mode (after the screensaver shuts off and the monitor goes blank) I cannot resume. (Ubuntu 10.10, 4GB of RAM, 2GB of swap, the session doesn't exceed the swap when this happens, grepping for my video card I get "VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)]") | 18:05 |

| jrib | bil21al: you're looking for documentation? Do you know about man pages? | 18:07 |
| Roasted | So I have an Ubuntu laptop that I want to demolish. What's the most efficient way to accomplishing this and destroying all data on it? I would assume rm -rf / ?? | 18:07 |
| jrib | bil21al: or do you want to read the source code? | 18:07 |
| MonkeyDust | Roasted: give it to my ex girlfriend, she can destroy any system on any pc | 18:07 |
| Roasted | MonkeyDust, lol. good call. | 18:07 |
| bil21al | jrib: yes i m a it student and knw about source sodding | 18:07 |
| ZenMasta | put it in a wood stove | 18:08 |
| jrib | !source | bil21al | 18:08 |
| ubottu | bil21al: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 18:08 |
| Roasted | MonkeyDust, this is my old work PC. I'm leaving here after tomorrow. I have mys tuff backed up and all. | 18:08 |
| masterchief | mang0 I'm not sure then. I know it's like a notification area, but I'm not sure how to move it. It was easy in older editions, but I'm not sure now though. | 18:08 |
| Roasted | I just need to nuke the data. Not the physical laptop, guys. :P | 18:08 |
| Roasted | I figured it'd be fun to do an rm -rf and watch the system slowly crumble. | 18:08 |
| B0g4r7 | Roasted, the thorough way is to boot from something else and overwrite the entire hard drive. "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb", or similar. | 18:08 |
| mang0 | masterchief: Shame :< | 18:08 |
| Roasted | but I wanted to make sure I was doing it in the right place. I would assume / would be fine? | 18:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Roasted: there's /dev/random line or so | 18:08 |
| Roasted | B0g4r7, oooo, I forgot about that | 18:08 |
| === eXpl0it3r|away is now known as eXpl0it3r | ||
| B0g4r7 | I guess you could do that without booting from something else too. | 18:08 |
| Roasted | B0g4r7, I have a usb flash drive for 10.04. maybe I'll do that. | 18:08 |
| B0g4r7 | Be interesting to see what happens. | 18:08 |
| ZenMasta | you try shred yet? | 18:08 |
| Roasted | B0g4r7, I think I'll do both. | 18:09 |
| Roasted | B0g4r7, my idea for kicks, and your idea for pure sterilization. | 18:09 |
| B0g4r7 | You can use /dev/urandom to make it a bit more interesing. | 18:09 |
| bil21al | thankx | 18:09 |
| Roasted | B0g4r7, during my idea or your idea? | 18:09 |
| MonkeyDust | B0g4r7: that's it | 18:09 |
| Roasted | dd if=/dev/urandom? | 18:09 |
| B0g4r7 | As an input for dd, instead of /dev/zero. | 18:09 |
| B0g4r7 | yeah. | 18:09 |
| eXpl0it3r | so does anybody know why my downloads start fast and then slow down to (nearly) zero (Ubuntu 10.04.3)? | 18:09 |
| Roasted | whats the difference from urandom and zero? | 18:10 |
| matrixiumn | bye | 18:10 |
| B0g4r7 | urandom is pseudo-random values. zero is, well, always zero. | 18:10 |
| jrib | Roasted: take a wild guess from the names :D | 18:10 |
| masterchief | mang0 have you asked the forums yet? | 18:10 |
| Roasted | jrib, well, I figured it would be random data vs 0'ing out the drive. But I wasn't seeing how that would make it more interesting? | 18:10 |
| masterchief | mang0 they can pretty help you out of anything and everything. | 18:10 |
| mang0 | masterchief no, I though I'd come here first, as I had irc open. Then google, then forums :P | 18:10 |
| jrib | eXpl0it3r: I'd guess that's a question to ask your ISP | 18:10 |
| masterchief | mang0 good priority list lol | 18:11 |
| B0g4r7 | If you're ultra-paranoid about someone trying to recover the data, writing random data will make it harder than writing all zeros. | 18:11 |
| jrib | Roasted: ask whoever said it would be more interesting I suppose | 18:11 |
| Starminn | eXpl0it3r: Some ISPs (suchs as Comcast) have speed boosts for the first "x" amount of data, then it slows back down. | 18:11 |
| eXpl0it3r | nope it's just on my pc under ubuntu 10.40.03 | 18:11 |
| mang0 | masterchief hehe, it's always worked for me in the past ;) | 18:11 |
| eXpl0it3r | yesterday with ubuntu 11 it work fine and on windows no problems whatsoever | 18:11 |
| Roasted | B0g4r7, naw I'm not paranoid over it. I just wanted to do a basic erase and walk away. | 18:11 |
| masterchief | mang0 how long have you been using Ubuntu? | 18:11 |
| B0g4r7 | Cool. Yeah, either option should work fine. | 18:11 |
| Roasted | B0g4r7, I wonder how long this will take on a 160gb drive. | 18:11 |
| B0g4r7 | It could take some time. I would guess at least 30 minutes. | 18:12 |

| eXpl0it3r | or were a few hours ago | 18:18 |

| B0g4r7 | eXpl0it3r, the MTU adjustment didn't help, you're saying? | 18:19 |
| MonkeyDust | 10.04 is an LTS, 12.04 will be the next LTS | 18:19 |

| rigved | angelicaldumb: mount point is /dev/sdb or whatever is the one for your usb device. the bootloader also goes to that same /dev/sdb. | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | angelicaldumb: the bootloader will go on the usb, you will need a partition for / and one for swap | 18:30 |
| rigved | angelicaldumb: sorry,mount point is / | 18:30 |
| B0g4r7 | bil21al, kernel.org seems to be having some problems today. Try again later or tomorrow. | 18:30 |

| fadax | I have a win7 computer which was working fine a few days ago but is now unable to startup (doesn't even get to the win7 loading screen). I thought maybe it's a hard disk problem and so wanted to check the hard disk. I have a ubuntu liveCD so thought it would be good to try and check the disk from here. How would I do that once I've booted into the liveCD? Thanks for any help | 18:33 |
| Galvatron | Shogoot: No. You don't need root permissions to read the contents. | 18:34 |
| teddyroosebelt | OY1R, looks nice.. thanks | 18:34 |
| Shogoot | ActionParsnip, ok. im connected to a remote server, i guess the admin has it locked down | 18:34 |
| compdoc | fadax, boot it, and open the disk utility | 18:34 |
| B0g4r7 | fadax: there is a handy program called "badblocks" for doing this. | 18:34 |
| RB2_notebook | I ran boot-repair with the default option,but it appears it made Windows 7 very unhappy. LOL | 18:34 |
| kahen | Does anyone know how to make it such that external NTFS drives are automatically mounted with the 'noexec' option? I'm sick and tired of 'ls' always showing every file as green because it thinks that everything on the disk is executable | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | fadax: id start with a memtest which is available at the earliest stages of cd boot | 18:35 |
| kubanc_ | anyone know why my printer wont print fonts e,č,š ? | 18:35 |
| fadax | ok I'll try running badblocks. will it still work fine since my hard disk is in NTFS format which is different to ubuntu's disk format? ActionParsnip well I already ran memtest for a while, and it didn't find any problems with the RAM | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | kahen: you can add a udev rule, or add an entry for the partition in /etc/fstab with the options you want. There may be other fixes, those are 2i can think of | 18:36 |
| B0g4r7 | fadax, all badblocks does is check for media defects on the device being tested. It won't care what is on the device. | 18:37 |
| fadax | ok thanks,I'll try and run that then | 18:37 |
| fadax | by the way, does liveCD use the hard disk at all? | 18:38 |
| B0g4r7 | fadax, you'll basically want to boot, determind the name of the device to test (usually /dev/sda or maybe /dev/sdb), and run 'badblocks -vv /dev/sda', substituting the correct device name if it differs. | 18:38 |

| fadax | B0g4r7 oh right ok I see. I'm running the badblocks test now. by the way I mounted the disk from the livecd and was able to browse my windows 7 files (documents etc). doesn't this mean that the hard disk is probably alright? | 19:00 |

| BarkingFish | do you know how to configure your router? if you have no firewall, maybe the router is blocking it | 19:00 |
| === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest16060 | ||
| BarkingFish | some routers, like netgear and linksys, have an internal firewall | 19:01 |
| B0g4r7 | fadax, it means that it's at least partly working. If badblocks doesn't find any errors then you have some other problem, most likely software. | 19:01 |
| mrgt | okay, still having an issue with this. Getting an error when I try to add my printer - error 5012. Tried adding it with HPLIP | 19:03 |

| mukti | Has anyone here setup thinkfan on a Thinkpad T420? | 19:06 |
| BarkingFish | mrgt, there is information about this on the launchpad - apparently, the shorthand version of that error, error 12, is that you need to most likely be a member of either the scanner or the lp group in order to get stuff printing. | 19:07 |

| bobweaver | reachingperfecti: you use true crypt at all ? | 19:19 |
| rusty149 | zastaph: you are right you need an X environment to copy/paste. You can use redirection >> to copy output to a file. e.g dmesg >>out.txt | 19:20 |

| steelraptor | does anyone know why an FTP user that is in the same group as www-data is creating folders with 1001 owner/group instead of 33 owner/group? This in on an apache server in the srv/www/site/public_html | 19:25 |
| Hyperbyte | steelraptor, man usermod. See the -g option, it sets the primary group, which is the group that files created are placed under. | 19:26 |
| bobweaver | I need help with making ppa I am real confused about making a .deb package | 19:27 |
| Hyperbyte | Also, you can force to use the same group as the directory, by using chmod +s on the directory | 19:27 |
| bobweaver | I have ppa set up | 19:27 |
| Hyperbyte | Finally, 33 is a system group, you shouldn't use that. Create a different group for apache and your user to share. | 19:27 |
| steelraptor | thank Hyperbyte, so you think its just that the files are dropping down to my users group instead of the www-data group? | 19:27 |
| BarkingFish | Is there any way to check for errors in downloading packages from your pools please? I've got one failing to download, and it's driving me gaga. I want the sun-java6-jre (6.26-1natty1) and my system keeps giving me the error that it's failing to download. | 19:27 |

| steelraptor | ok Hyperbyte, imma see if that helps, thanks ^-^ | 19:28 |
| bobweaver | I think I made the ppa I just dont know how to make .deb files to up load to ppa | 19:28 |
| Hyperbyte | steelraptor, personally, I'd go with option #2 and #3. Create a new group, put apache + user on it, and set chmod +s on the files directory. | 19:28 |

| rumpe1 | nathanel, if all the files are equally linked to the target, how should the application now, which one it should take? | 19:56 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | alkafoo: Because it's Cool? | 19:56 |

| varikonniemi | hello | 19:56 |
| varikonniemi | is it possible to enable alt-tab from inside games | 19:56 |
| alkafoo | MAREK_BENC_NetB: but it isn't | 19:56 |
| varikonniemi | i feel kinda restricted when it does not work | 19:56 |
| Pici | nathanel: what does the application currently point to when it comes to icon files? | 19:56 |
| jrib | nathanel: ok I'm trying to understand better what you are asking: is your issue that you sometimes use the faenza theme and sometimes you use the faenza-dark theme? Furthermore, you want the ibus-anthy icon to be a faenza icon when you have the faenza icon enabled. But if you change your theme to faenza dark, then you want ibus-anthy to have a faenza dark icon? | 19:56 |
| usr13 | ziikutv: Ok well uninstall it and go and find Adobe Flashplayer in the Software Centre | 19:57 |
| Pici | nathanel: forget my question, jrib asked it better. | 19:57 |
| nathanel | the application, by default uses the icon located at /usr/share/ibus-anthy/icons/ibus-anthy.png | 19:57 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | alkafoo: I shiched from GRUB and now use it as my Main Bootloader. It's a hell better than GURB (For me) | 19:57 |
| nathanel | jrib: exactly | 19:57 |
| usr13 | ziikutv: Once you get it installed, you will have to restart Firefox for the change to take effect. | 19:57 |
| Pici | nathanel: there are ways to specify within an icon theme if you'd like to prefer an icon over another... let me see if I can find the theme I modified... | 19:58 |

| varikonniemi | what is the ctrl-alt-f8 called? | 20:09 |

| Jordan_U | iCritical-: You definitely have an invalid partition table. Are you sure that it was most recently GPT? It looks like you at one point had a valid GUID Partition Table, then made an msdos partition table using a tool that didn't properly remove the GPT signature.

| josheee12 | hey guys. the only way i can get ubuntu running as it should is if i run in failsafe mode. what do? | 20:51 |
| usr13 | josheee12: What's happening? No screens found? | 20:55 |
| josheee12 | usr13: it drops straight to shell | 20:55 |
| usr13 | josheee12: What do you have installed? | 20:56 |
| josheee12 | i know it's not an issue with x because of failsafe mode | 20:56 |
| usr13 | 11.04 Ubuntu? | 20:56 |
| varikonniemi | is oneiric in such shape it could be switched to in everyday use? | 20:56 |
| josheee12 | yes, 11.04 | 20:56 |
| josheee12 | x64 | 20:56 |
| usr13 | josheee12: So it just boots to terminal mode? | 20:56 |
| josheee12 | no, it attempts to run gnome, gnome crashes and drops to terminal | 20:57 |
| usr13 | josheee12: Did you run updates? | 20:57 |
| josheee12 | i just went through the battle of attempting to get gnome3 working, which didn't work out well, so i switched back to 2. | 20:58 |
| usr13 | did gnome2 run? | 20:58 |
| josheee12 | before gnome3? perfectly | 20:58 |
| usr13 | josheee12: Oh, yea, that's what I meant. | 20:59 |
| zykotick9 | josheee12, packages don't downgrade easily - you may have to reinstall, unless someone has a real fix | 20:59 |

| illsci | Is there a way to see what versions of a packages are available on a remote apt repo? | 21:02 |
| zykotick9 | illsci, have you added the repo already? if so, you can use "apt-cache policy foo" to see what versions are available, and from where | 21:03 |
| illsci | http://dev.zenoss.org/deb/dists/main/stable/binary-i386/ has many versions of zenoss-stack | 21:03 |
| illsci | and I want to install 3.1.0 | 21:03 |
| illsci | but its not working... I was doing apt-get install zenoss-stack=3.1.0 | 21:03 |
| illsci | hmmm... yeah that only shows 3.2.0 but 3.1.0 and all the previous versions are available at that url.... | 21:04 |
| illsci | Is there a way to get apt to see them and allow me to install that specific version | 21:04 |
| zykotick9 | illsci, could you just download the version on want and install it with dpkg? | 21:06 |
| zykotick9 | s/on/you/ | 21:06 |

| hack27 | metacity? | 21:52 |
| urlin2u | hack27, can you move it if you press the alt key. | 21:52 |
| escott | Pooky1, gnome-session-quit should work. or killall gnome-session or service gdm restart | 21:52 |
| Vamps-Ubuntu | hack27, those are desktop manager that give you a GUI | 21:52 |
| IamTrying | Where do you put the xorg.conf file settings? like want to include dpms false e.g: https://gist.github.com/1204864 | 21:52 |
| * thomasj73 hates being a noob | 21:52 | |
| hack27 | noo | 21:52 |
| hack27 | is like stuck on the ubuntu bar | 21:53 |
| Pooky1 | Dragon64: well i login in another account and it is the same and also mouse stop working.. | 21:53 |
| hack27 | i cant see the x button | 21:53 |
| escott | IamTrying, first you have to generate an xorg.conf usually by running Xorg -configure and then copying the file from /root to /etc/X11 | 21:53 |
| urlin2u | hack27, does any other app ?work | 21:53 |
| thomasj73 | hack27, were you playing around with Compizconfig? | 21:53 |
| IamTrying | escott, ic, thank you | 21:54 |
| mukti | Do I reload a kernel module with modprobe? | 21:54 |
| hack27 | yea | 21:54 |
| thomasj73 | Is there a way to do, erm, like, ifconfig wlan0 -auto? or something like that? | 21:54 |
| escott | mukti, rmmod modules name; lsmod make sure it isn't loaded, modprobe module_name | 21:54 |
| zykotick9 | IamTrying, i believe the command you need is "X -configure" and Xorg needs to be stopped before you run that "sudo service gdm stop" would stop GDM | 21:55 |
| mukti | escott | 21:55 |
| escott | hack27, you probably want to undo whatever the last change you made in ccsm, or nuke your compiz settings. something you did is incompatible with unity | 21:55 |
| mukti | escott: thanks | 21:55 |
| urlin2u | hack27, do you have htop installed | 21:55 |
| Dragon64 | pOOKYL-- OK then this is a system wide issue, not limited to local account | 21:55 |
| Dragon64 | not sure where to look next for this one | 21:55 |
| hack27 | i have compiz but i didnt enable nuttin | 21:56 |
| thomasj73 | escott, compizconfig is EVIL! nuked my Unity second day, haven't been able to use it since | 21:56 |

| Pooky1 | Dragon64: everythink works fine before, there was crash when i play Warcraft 3 on wine | 21:57 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: Are you compiling somebody else's code that just requires libraries you don't have? | 21:57 |
| escott | mrgt, usb support in virtual box is only available with the paid version | 21:57 |
| mongy | hack27, yeah | 21:57 |
| ironchew | Synaptic typically takes care of that. | 21:57 |
| newerthhero | i have both the code and the libraries | 21:57 |
| newerthhero | but the code doesnt see the .h files | 21:57 |
| mrgt | It's a wireless printer though? | 21:57 |
| Pooky1 | Dragon64: it crash with fatal error and i must force reboot it | 21:57 |
| ironchew | Did you get the libraries with apt-get or Synaptic? | 21:57 |
| newerthhero | when i copied them to the exact folder the code is it still doesnt see them | 21:58 |
| newerthhero | no, just copied manually | 21:58 |
| zykotick9 | escott, incorrect! VBox 4+ has USB support, and they've merged the OSE/PUEL versions with 4 as well. | 21:58 |
| newerthhero | the files didnt get copied though | 21:58 |
| newerthhero | only stupid link files | 21:58 |
| propman | escott: usb is available with the free edition | 21:58 |
| newerthhero | it said that | 21:58 |
| newerthhero | i'm a windows long time user | 21:58 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: I would suggest downloading the library with apt-get or Synaptic package manager, because it automatically sets that stuff up. | 21:59 |
| newerthhero | i know in windows you only add the include directory | 21:59 |
| newerthhero | yea i tried that but couldnt find it | 21:59 |
| escott | zykotick9, ok. thanks didn't know that | 21:59 |
| ironchew | What's the library called? | 21:59 |

| cheako | Hello, what determins the initrm built in /boot? I have a handful of un-installed kernel versions taking up precious space. | 22:00 |
| hack27 | nuttin i remove compiz | 22:00 |
| MonkeyDust | sir_tyrion: in a few months, the new LTS appears | 22:01 |
| sir_tyrion | Coolio, sticking with 10.04 | 22:01 |
| hack27 | menu doesn;t show on the application like ubuntu software center | 22:01 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: The whole SDK has it's own /include directory and compiler, right? | 22:01 |
| newerthhero | how do i add that folder to the inculde? | 22:01 |
| newerthhero | yes | 22:01 |
| Dragon64 | maybe its a problem with your video | 22:01 |
| newerthhero | export? | 22:01 |
| Dragon64 | no clue on that one really -- sorry | 22:02 |
| escott | cheako, there is an initrd for each kernel listed in /boot. you can use dpkg to remove specific kernels and initrds that are not needed | 22:02 |
| cheako | newerthhero: -I | 22:02 |
| newerthhero | ??? | 22:02 |
| newerthhero | what? | 22:02 |
| urlin2u | !tab | newerthhero | 22:02 |
| cheako | escott: The kernels are removed, but the initrds are recreated any way. | 22:02 |
| Pooky1 | Dragon64: i think this too, bat can't find nothing about it. Now it just look, like there was off the "controls" of gui in ubuntu | 22:02 |
| newerthhero | !tab | | 22:02 |
| newerthhero | what is that? | 22:02 |
| urlin2u | newerthhero, tab the nics please. :D | 22:03 |
| Pooky1 | Dragon64: there works apps, keyshortcut alt+tab etc bat no visible sidebars of unity | 22:03 |
| Pooky1 | Dragon64: there is also no option in login screen, there is just "Default " and "recovery console" | 22:03 |
| IamTrying | zykotick9, I ran this, just to make my concept clear bit confused said failed, did it really worked? So my file should be /home/sun/xorg.conf.new for use case? e.g: https://gist.github.com/1204864 | 22:03 |
| beached | anyone know a little somthin about ssh tunneling | 22:04 |
| escott | cheako, im not following. when are they being recreated | 22:04 |
| newerthhero | i dont get it | 22:04 |
| newerthhero | im wasting my time | 22:04 |
| urlin2u | newerthhero, tyoe a few letters of the nic of who your talking to hit tab to auto complete it comes up red for them and we know who your talking to. | 22:04 |
| newerthhero | ok | 22:04 |
| newerthhero | i dont remember who was helping | 22:04 |
| newerthhero | :D | 22:05 |
| newerthhero | i just need to add a folder to the include path | 22:05 |
| cheako | escott: During kernel instalation or whenever kernels are built. | 22:05 |
| newerthhero | that way the code will see the .h files | 22:05 |
| cheako | err, initrd. | 22:05 |
| escott | !anyone | beached | 22:05 |
| zykotick9 | IamTrying, "Configuration failed" doesn't sound good! Sorry I've never seen that fail before, not sure what to recommend. | 22:05 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: Alt+F2, type in "gksudo nautilus" | 22:05 |
| IamTrying | zykotick9, no worries thanks a lot. | 22:06 |
| newerthhero | ironchew: ok, and? | 22:06 |
| ironchew | You'll have to enter an administrator's password, and then you can add folders anywhere. | 22:06 |
| escott | beached, ask your question... | 22:06 |
| newerthhero | i tried that | 22:06 |
| newerthhero | when i copy the files | 22:06 |
| newerthhero | the files arent copie | 22:07 |
| newerthhero | copied | 22:07 |
| newerthhero | ironchew: no files copy | 22:07 |
| escott | cheako, when you dpkg -l "*linux*" are the old kernels listed | 22:07 |
| newerthhero | ironchew: only some broken files | 22:07 |
| beached | how would i allow someone to tunnel their traffic through my comp remotely | 22:07 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: An error box pops up that says the transfer wasn't successful, or something like that? | 22:07 |
| cheako | escott: No. | 22:07 |
| newerthhero | no, files copy | 22:07 |
| newerthhero | without error | 22:07 |
| cheako | escott: Thus I'm asking where is this list generated from? | 22:08 |
| escott | cheako, and if you remember the initrd from /boot it later gets recreated? | 22:08 |
| newerthhero | but it's like 1kb files | 22:08 |
| newerthhero | ironchew: 1kb files | 22:08 |
| escott | cheako, s/remember/remove | 22:08 |
| cheako | escott: Correct. | 22:08 |
| newerthhero | ironchew : cant i just add the folder to a path? | 22:08 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: Oh, you mean for executing a program without navigating to that path? | 22:08 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: You can edit the $PATH variable in Bash. | 22:09 |
| newerthhero | ironchew: kinda, you know the output when typing export on terminal? | 22:09 |
| cheako | escott: In other words "update-initrd -k all -c" will create initrd for images no-longer installed. | 22:09 |
| n00buntuNL | Hello guys. I want to buy a commercially available Antivirus+Firewall for Ubuntu .. Any suggestions? | 22:09 |
| newerthhero | ironchew: yeah, how do i add that include directory in $path? | 22:09 |
| cheako | escott: and the drive(small boot partition) fills up. | 22:09 |
| urlin2u | n00buntuNL, you can get avast, and bitdefender for free. | 22:10 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: path=$path+"[NEWDIR]" | 22:10 |
| beached | iptables and avg | 22:10 |
| newerthhero | ok | 22:10 |
| cheako | escott: It's 100MB. | 22:10 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: I'm a bit rusty with my bash skills, so that may not work... | 22:10 |
| newerthhero | dammit | 22:10 |
| bindi | n00buntuNL: you know the antiviruses for linuxes are mainly for scanning infected windows files | 22:10 |
| escott | cheako, check in /etc/initramfs-tools | 22:10 |
| bindi | n00buntuNL: so not really useful if you just use ubuntu | 22:11 |
| escott | beached, http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html the hard part is not the ssh command itself but making sure they can connect to your system | 22:11 |
| n00buntuNL | urlin & beached & bindi > Which ones do you prefer? (both AV & firew.) --- well i do want one, am a bit paranoid :) | 22:11 |
| bindi | n00buntuNL: also what do you need a firewall for? everything is closed unless you open something intentionally. if you're behind NAT too, that's a firewall for you | 22:11 |
| beached | escott, may I pm you? | 22:11 |
| escott | beached, sure | 22:11 |
| cheako | escott: find and grep turn up zilch for a handful of test strings... 2.6.22 searching just for 22 and then the 2.6 part if too many matches. | 22:12 |
| ironchew | newerthhero: path="$path [NEWDIR];" | 22:12 |

| urlin2u | n00buntuNL, I have avast and bitdefender to use on my W7 setup. The paranoia will destroy yah. | 22:12 |

| crissc | is there a way to bring a graphical process to the foreground using terminal? | 22:13 |
| robin0800_ | escott, you have to purge the configurations as well ubuntu-tweak can do this | 22:13 |
| cheako | There they are. | 22:13 |
| mukti | escott, will I be able to manage power settings with that, or does it only allow me to view what is using the battery? | 22:13 |

| n00buntuNL | thanks for the suggestions guys | 22:14 |
| escott | mukti, i guess im not sure what you mean by manage power settings. powertop will suggest things you can do to reduce power usage and can automatically apply them | 22:14 |
| mukti | escott, okay | 22:14 |

| escott | executionist, not necessarily. it will set the mbr of the disk what has the /boot partition, but if that is boot disk 2 then it wont be loaded | 22:19 |
| Guest40186 | i guess it does, but i never tryed win7 with ubuntu | 22:19 |

| Pooky1 | well it just clone disk? | 22:48 |
| urlin2u | pooky!disc or partitions | 22:48 |
| urlin2u | Pooky1, disc or partitions | 22:48 |
| Pooky1 | well i hope for somethink, which some my settings and be able to return them to new install | 22:49 |
| escott | berefeira, ie this device doesnt support TRIM. i'm sure you can do something with hdparm on certain devices to mark all blocks as unused, but I don't know what it would be. alternately you could write 0s to every sector of the disk and accomplish the same thing | 22:49 |
| antid | is there a repertory of possible fixes for the 'BusyBox' 'error' ? | 22:50 |
| urlin2u | Pooky1, clonezila is just a snap shot, you can use others to list the installed apps for reinstall. | 22:50 |
| escott | antid, what busybox error | 22:50 |
| berefeira | escott: thats it, to make it look like unused blocks, writing zeros is the first part of that, then you can hdparm to unused blocks | 22:51 |
| antid | when I try to install ubuntu, after the loading splash screen i get to a "BusyBox" and "(initramfs)" | 22:52 |
| antid | I found a 41-pages long thread about it on ubuntuforums. seems to have started at 8.04 | 22:52 |
| Pooky1 | ok thnaks for help guys | 22:52 |
| arooni-mobile | help; my ubuntu t420 my microphone doesnt seem to be working. running ubuntu 11.04 | 22:52 |
| Pooky1 | i wille somehow sole it | 22:53 |
| Pooky1 | or just broke this computer with hammer.. | 22:53 |
| berefeira | escott: i got it, cache page loaded, save this for future reference, thanks for your thoughts and help :) | 22:53 |
| escott | berefeira, i think what you want is --trim-sector-ranges | 22:53 |
| Cr3al | am i suupose to use the <font. tag instead? of <h1 align="center" style="font-family:arial"> | 22:53 |
| zykotick9 | Pooky1, is your current install perfect? If not, then you probably don't want to clonezilla it! | 22:53 |

| Pooky1 | zykotick9: my install is now broken | 22:53 |
| berefeira | escott: step 3 of the link is what i was looking for | 22:53 |
| zykotick9 | Pooky1, then clonezilla is NOT a good option | 22:54 |
| WeThePeople | lol | 22:54 |
| Pooky1 | i know | 22:54 |
| Pooky1 | i try fix it | 22:54 |
| Pooky1 | bat meaby i must reinstall | 22:54 |
| zykotick9 | !clone | Pooky1 | 22:54 |
| ubottu | Pooky1: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 22:54 |
| escott | antid, there are a lot of possibilities, can you describe the hardware a bit | 22:54 |

| newerthhero | really | 22:55 |
| zykotick9 | Pooky1, backup your Home directory and any files you may have changed in /etc | 22:55 |

| newerthhero | urlin2u: escott, what's better in unity? | 22:57 |
| newerthhero | over X? | 22:57 |
| DaVampsWin | the progression of classic to unity is much like that of win 95/98 to XP | 22:57 |
| newerthhero | unity replaces Xorg, right? | 22:57 |

| Pooky1 | zykotick9: zend framework | 23:05 |
| escott | antid, do you know how to manually mount a partition or fsck a partition? | 23:06 |
| keyboardtalk | urlin2u: http://i.imgur.com/LQAni.png | 23:07 |
| antid | i know that the ubuntu live cd provides some sort of partition manager, but idk what you mean by manually or fsck | 23:07 |
| urlin2u | keyboardtalk, use a actual torrent like deluge, and get the links from the page I posted. | 23:08 |
| escott | antid, when you are in the initrd you should check the output of "mount" and see if the the / partition is mounted, and if it is mounted rw or ro. if it is mounted ro you can fsck the partition by "fsck /dev/sda#" and finally try to mount -o remount,rw that partition | 23:09 |
| keyboardtalk | urlin2u: That is a link from the page you posted. | 23:09 |
| zykotick9 | keyboardtalk, MS obviously doesn't want you to get Ubuntu torrents ;) | 23:09 |
| keyboardtalk | zykotick9: apparently | 23:09 |
| escott | antid, that would be one common reason you get dropped into initrd is if the root partition cannot be mounted or cannot be mounted rw | 23:09 |
| escott | antid, if the problem is some kind of kernel oops (which is suggested by your need to use noapic) you could try other options like nomodeset | 23:10 |
| urlin2u | keyboardtalk, down load the torrent link install a actual torrent app like deluge, something is breaking in yoiur approach the torrents work. | 23:11 |
| antid | escott, i tried messing with some commands when i get to busybox but it either does nothing or tells me that it has no root to this or that directory (as i don't have it installed...?) | 23:11 |

| urlin2u | keyboardtalk, or just use the browser download on a browser. | 23:12 |
| escott | antid, the initrd is a very simple, and very limited memory only filesystem that gets replaced once your real hard drive is loaded and initialized. if that harddrive cant be accessed you get stuck. so thinks like "bios raid" or a weird sata driver, or a corrupt filesystem etc | 23:12 |

| dr_willis | seen some penetration testing/alternative ubuntu vairants with such tools. so theres most likely repos/ppa's with the stuff. | 23:52 |
| escott | FluffyMittensOfD, yeah but your reason for installing ng is to run aircrack meaning you want to inject... so please go somewhere else | 23:52 |
