| djskidd | Then in Windows, I installed an openSUSE VM and ran it | 00:00 |
| orangey | MonkeyDust: thanks! | 00:00 |
| mamece2 | ChogyDan: i cant even find the .trash folder... im so upset.. | 00:01 |
| djskidd | So I was running openSUSE in Windows VM in Mac VM | 00:01 |
| SimonJai | got a strange problem on 10.04LTS where a static IP is set on a server, but after a while it reverts back to DHCP... any ideas? | 00:01 |

| jkoltner | Guest8178: 11.04 is arguably not as stable as most releases; if 10.04 works for you, I'd have no qualms about using it rather than 11.04. Some of the software packages will be a little older, but you'll gain some stability and speed. | 00:46 |

| pmp6nl | Is there any way to easily upload music to the Amazon cloud? Thanks | 00:49 |
| jkoltner | Guest8178: Ah, ok. Actually, I think there's pretty good consensus that, for most people 10.10 is "as good or better" than 11.04. :-) If you're running KUbuntu, 11.04 might be worth it... but otherwise, sticking with 10.10 is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. I mean, your alternative is to spend a bunch of time trying to get your VM software to work -- it's assuredly can be made to work, but like many things Linux, it could take hours to do so as well. | 00:49 |
| jkoltner | 11.04 has some regressions with regard to battery life on laptops as well, if that matters to you | 00:50 |
| leftist | thanks again loshki | 00:50 |

| phong_ | it said cound not display that thing | 00:58 |
| phong_ | so it can't connect | 00:58 |
| phong_ | i already turn off file sharing in windows 7 | 00:58 |
| phong_ | turn off password sharing | 00:58 |
| phong_ | jkoltner, what could be wrong? | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis|2 | phong_: try it with the ip# of the windows machine. smb://###.###.###.### | 00:59 |
| phong_ | ok | 00:59 |
| phong_ | brb ill try | 00:59 |
| jkoltner | phong_: If that works (using the IP address directly), you'll want to install the "winbind" package, I believe, if you want to use the name instead | 01:00 |
| phong_ | it said something, could not display that thing | 01:00 |

| phong_ | this freaking shlt is so complicated..just to map a window folder | 01:03 |
| memand | chogydan, do you know if I can install grub from the live cd without going into the live environment? | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | phong_: means it worked.. | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | phong_: my first guess would be you got windows firewall going,. | 01:04 |
| phong_ | oh | 01:05 |
| phong_ | should i turn off? | 01:05 |
| dr_willis | phong_: I alwyas do. | 01:05 |
| phong_ | i'm afraid of virii? | 01:05 |
| phong_ | dr_willis, can't i just add some port ? | 01:06 |
| phong_ | like mapping file ports? | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | phong_: no idea. the port for samba/smb is rather well defined. | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | You could check the firewall settings and be sure its open it.. or just test it by disabling the firewall | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | I find windows firewall causes more issues then it fix's for my home lan. My router handles the nasty traffic, | 01:07 |
| nsq | phong_, sadly, almost every "good" trojan for example just disables the windows firewall (or "tricks it") anyways :/ | 01:08 |
| JetBoyJetGirl | what's a good maleware/virus scanner for ubuntu 10.10 ? | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | JetBoyJetGirl: you want to scan your files for windows viruses? because thats what most all of them do. | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | JetBoyJetGirl: linux dosent really need one for itself. | 01:09 |
| JetBoyJetGirl | ahh.... so i should maybe just scan from windows? i have maleware on my windows, i'm duel booting... | 01:09 |
| phong_ | dr_willis, lol, even firewall is off it still can't connect | 01:09 |
| phong_ | this is geting me upset | 01:09 |

| dr_willis | JetBoyJetGirl: theres specific linux live cds that have AV software you can use. | 01:10 |

| dr_willis | JetBoyJetGirl: or install various tools on linux and scan the windows drives. | 01:10 |

| photon | phong_: what's the IP of your windows machine and of your linux machine? are they on the same subset? | 01:10 |
| phong_ | photon: win: 192.168.0.102 | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | phong_: can the windows machine see its own shares? :) | 01:10 |
| phong_ | and ubuntu: 192.168.0.106 | 01:10 |
| nsq | JetBoyJetGirl, no, dont scan from windows, scan from linux. there is "clamav" for example, and, if i remember correctly, there is a avira antivir live cd based on linux | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | do other machines see the shares? | 01:10 |
| JetBoyJetGirl | ok, so just check the software manager and see what I can come up with nsq? | 01:11 |
| almoxarife | phong_: check out the extention to nautilus which adds virus checking, fir windows shares even | 01:11 |
| nsq | JetBoyJetGirl, just search for "clamav", im sure the ubuntu wiki has a nice page about how to use it ;) | 01:11 |
| JetBoyJetGirl | KlamAV, ok thanks... found it. | 01:12 |

| danker | Hello, anyone here knows about the problem of audio with magicjack and ubuntu? | 01:14 |
| nsq | which problem danker ? | 01:14 |
| fr0sted | hey all | 01:14 |
| danker | correct installation in VirtualBox but the audio over the phone when I come out with echoes | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | im suprised magicjack works at all with Ubuntu | 01:15 |
| MrWilly_ | ubuntu 10.04 32-bit, no audio via my CMI onboard chip. I've tested the audio elsewhere, and it works fine, just not in ubuntu. pulseaudio's up and running, and it THINKS it has sound, but no dice. any ideas? | 01:15 |
| memand | got it in too the live environment all by my self, thank you very much ;D | 01:15 |
| gebbione | ubuntu has not mounted my second hardisk, how do i know why this has happened? | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | gebbione: what filesystem is it? | 01:16 |
| gebbione | not sure, i installed with the standard one | 01:17 |
| gebbione | the hardisk is a ntfs i guess | 01:17 |
| gebbione | the second one | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | what os formated the hard drive? where did it come from... | 01:17 |
| bsmith093 | is there a way to do non consecutive text search inside a bunch of files at once, not a full string of words all together, but close together? | 01:17 |
| dr_willis | sudo fdisk -l should show the HD and what partitions are on it gebbione | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | bsmith093: with the proper regular expressions it should be possible.. but may be tricky dependng on your needs | 01:18 |
| bsmith093 | can nautilus's search for files thing do this? | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | words close together - is going to be tricky :) | 01:19 |
| bsmith093 | basically i think im asking is there a google search for ubuntu locally | 01:19 |
| dr_willis | You can do a regular expression like 'word' 1 or more characters 'word2' but how many characters are you going to need. | 01:19 |
| bsmith093 | like google desktop | 01:19 |
| memand | does anybody know of a terminal command to check if all drivers are working properly? | 01:20 |
| dr_willis | google desktop is avail for linux bsmith093 | 01:20 |
| bsmith093 | oooh where | 01:20 |
| almoxarife | bsmith093: I tried beagle and tracker, I settled on gnome desktop, set up the folders to watch, and search away | 01:20 |
| gebbione | dr_willis, with fdisk i dont see the drive i think | 01:20 |
| almoxarife | bsmith093: I meant google desktop | 01:20 |
| gebbione | i see a linux, a extended and swap sda1-2-3 | 01:20 |
| dr_willis | gebbione: if fdisk or gparted are not seeing the drive. then that sounds like the pc is not seeing the disk at all. | 01:20 |
| gebbione | damn | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | is it a external usb? or somthing else weird? | 01:21 |
| gebbione | SATA | 01:21 |
| gebbione | 2 | 01:21 |
| MonkeyDust | gebbione: paste the outcome of sudo fdisk -l here => http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 01:21 |
| gebbione | should i restart? | 01:22 |
| MonkeyDust | no gebbione | 01:22 |

| gentoo-intel | f4k3z, depends on cpu i suppose | 01:53 |
| gentoo-intel | f4k3z, most comps play hd fine nowadays | 01:54 |
| f4k3z | gentoo-intel: i;m asking because i have Dual win7 and Ubuntu 11.04, and win7 plays hd files perfectly, but in ubuntu i get choppy/laggy video | 01:54 |
| gentoo-intel | no idea. i dont know anything about intel graphics | 01:55 |

| gentoo-intel | knightvoid, i think you need to install prop video drivers | 02:04 |
| nsq | knightvoid: you need to install graphic drivers. | 02:04 |
| f4k3z | ni1s: vaapi? never heard of it, let me google it. | 02:04 |
| gentoo-intel | f4k3z, its accel for youur card | 02:04 |
| knightvoid | where would i find correct one | 02:04 |
| f4k3z | another question, do we need specific codec or something for MKV playback? | 02:04 |
| knightvoid | from disc? | 02:04 |
| gentoo-intel | f4k3z, mplayer plays them all | 02:04 |
| f4k3z | because i just recall installing the restricted extras | 02:05 |
| f4k3z | and not sure if that comes with mkv codec | 02:05 |
| gentoo-intel | i think thats for mp3s etc | 02:05 |
| gentoo-intel | not 100% | 02:05 |
| gentoo-intel | sure | 02:05 |
| ni1s | isnt mkv matroska? | 02:05 |
| zykotick9_ | f4k3z, mkv is a container, it could have all sorts of codecs inside | 02:05 |
| f4k3z | gentoo-intel: oooh ok ok | 02:05 |
| zykotick9_ | ni1s, yup | 02:05 |
| f4k3z | ni1s: yeap | 02:05 |
| nsq | knightvoid: ubuntu will try to find it for you .. afaik it's in the system menu in the top .. called "restricted drivers" or "additional drivers" something like that | 02:05 |
| f4k3z | zykotick9_: i c | 02:05 |
| f4k3z | so we dont need to install specific codecs or something(like in windows) to play mkv files properly? | 02:06 |
| knightvoid | nsq i tried additional drivers, it did a search nothing came up.. | 02:07 |
| nsq | knightvoid: what graphic card are you using? | 02:07 |
| zykotick9_ | f4k3z, it's highly possible you do. But mkv could have open or proprietary codecs inside | 02:07 |
| knightvoid | nsq, ran lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) | 02:07 |
| f4k3z | zykotick9_: and where should we get those codecs to play mkv properly, then? | 02:08 |
| almoxarife | doesn't vlc play mkv ? | 02:08 |
| f4k3z | yeap but chooppy/laggy | 02:08 |
| somsip_ | almoxarife: it does for me | 02:08 |
| almoxarife | f4k3z: mplayer? | 02:09 |
| nsq | f4k3z: you could just use vlc | 02:09 |
| f4k3z | almoxarife: it laggs as well, and sometimes closes itself | 02:09 |
| zykotick9_ | f4k3z, if the file players but plays poorly it's more likely a graphics card issue, then a codec/player issue. | 02:09 |
| ni1s | f4k3z, matoska is probably not at fault there | 02:09 |
| zykotick9_ | s/players/plays/ | 02:09 |
| almoxarife | f4k3z: have you considered the issue may be related to something else? hardware? | 02:10 |
| f4k3z | the problem is that only in bntu i cannot play mkv. or hd files :( | 02:10 |
| nsq | knightvoid: "If you have an intel card, the minimum is the i945 and i965.", i dont know if your graphics card is older, but if it is, you need to wait for 11.10, there is 2d support. | 02:10 |
| f4k3z | in win7 i can play all HD files and mkv properly | 02:10 |
| knightvoid | nsq, it is old, is this comp s.o.l. | 02:10 |
| knightvoid | nsq thank you, | 02:10 |
| f4k3z | almoxarife: if it was hardware, probably i will get same issue in win7, but only in Ubuntu i am facing it | 02:11 |
| === Lubuntu is now known as LubuntuPowered | ||
| almoxarife | f4k3z: true | 02:11 |
| zykotick9_ | knightvoid, i'm affraid waiting for 11.10 will probably NOT solve your issue, it's possible to install unity 2d in 11.04 (or use an alternative DE/WM) - but your graphics card is unlikely to get improved driver support. Good luck. | 02:12 |
| f4k3z | almoxarife: yeap, so i am wondering if it is drivers/codec related issue not sure :( | 02:12 |
| knightvoid | zykotick9_ thanks. time to try the other computer | 02:13 |
| littletinybaby | How do I tile my windows? | 02:13 |
| almoxarife | f4k3z: you have medibuntu installed? | 02:13 |
| almoxarife | f4k3z: I don't know that it would make a diff but I have never been without it, so its hard to tell | 02:13 |
| nsq | zykotick9_: if i remember correctly, it would work fine with unity2d? | 02:14 |
| lng | hi! how can I switch my newly installed latest ubuntu to new style desktop? | 02:14 |
| bluMyst | Okay, I've run into a little problem. I've been trying to create a virtual webcam that plays a video instead of actually using my webcam. So that I can have an avatar on chatroulette instead of my real face. So, my latest attempt to do this was to install WebcamStudio and run it. I've installed that and vloopback correctly (at least I think vloopback is installed. I have no idea what it is or how to verify that) and I can't seem to find the menu option that let | 02:14 |
| zykotick9_ | nsq, possible, i've never bothered with Unity/Unity2D so I'm not the person to know... | 02:14 |
| f4k3z | almoxarife: to be honest havent tried it | 02:15 |
| f4k3z | almoxarife: but you have intel's graphics card? | 02:15 |
| almoxarife | f4k3z: yeap, intel graphics on a cheaper laptop | 02:15 |
| f4k3z | almoxarife: what card do you have? | 02:16 |
| littletinybaby | Tiling windows in ubuntu anyone? | 02:18 |
| Khisanth | depends on which window manager you use | 02:19 |
| knightvoid | zykotick9_, is there a way to find out what will be supported in 11.10, i have a wireless card on another machine that doesn't work | 02:20 |
| urlin2u | littletinybaby, top of the list on a google search with your question. http://ubuntuguide.net/tile-windows-verticallyhorizontally-in-ubuntu-easily-with-x-tile | 02:21 |
| zykotick9_ | knightvoid, you could try asking if the card is supported in the #ubuntu+1 channel perhaps? I don't know of a URL with a list. | 02:21 |
| knightvoid | zykotick9_, thank you | 02:22 |
| urlin2u | knightvoid, not distro specific but, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 02:22 |

| Shortstraw8 | Sorry VMware player | 02:44 |
| Shortstraw8 | I download it and it says that it cant open it. | 02:45 |
| zykotick9_ | Shortstraw8, is it a .bundle? Make it executable then run it. | 02:45 |
| Shortstraw8 | Ok I'm new to this how do I do that? | 02:46 |
| sp4z | hi all | 02:46 |
| zykotick9_ | Shortstraw8, you can right click it and there is an option for executable in there somewhere. Or from cli "chmod +x FOOVMwarePlayer.bundle" then "sudo ./FOOVMwarePlayer.bundle" should work | 02:47 |
| sp4z | is there a way to get rid of unity and go back to gnome on the latest version of ubuntu? | 02:47 |

| zykotick9_ | Shortstraw8, just FYI, but I find VirtualBox (or even KVM) a lot better then VMware | 02:49 |
| Shortstraw8 | Where do I get those? it is asking for root access | 02:51 |
| zykotick9_ | Shortstraw8, are you using sudo? | 02:51 |

| zykotick9_ | dr_willis, does ubuntu not have the non-ose version available yet? | 02:52 |

| xosuitehearts | I need some help with something on Ubuntu Natty | 02:53 |
| zykotick9_ | Shortstraw8, you'll need to use terminal to set VMware up - as you need to use sudo | 02:54 |
| xosuitehearts | if anyone can help me i'd be very thankful | 02:54 |
| zykotick9_ | !ask | xosuitehearts | 02:54 |
| dr_willis | ask the actual question xosuitehearts | 02:54 |
| ubottu | xosuitehearts: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 02:54 |

| xosuitehearts | dr_willis zykotick9_ I heard the latest Empathy 3.0 is out for grabs but not in the official repositories | 02:55 |
| xosuitehearts | one of the packages I need to install are gnome-common gettext | 02:55 |
| xosuitehearts | does that mean that I have to install Gnome3? | 02:56 |
| zykotick9_ | Shortstraw8, assuming it's in Downloads, use "cd ~/Downloads" (remember case is important) then try "gksu ./FOOVMwarePlayer.bundle" | 02:56 |
| xosuitehearts | here's what I'm looking at currently: http://askubuntu.com/questions/40459/how-to-install-empathy-3-x | 02:56 |

| zykotick9_ | Shortstraw8, replace the FOOVM with the actual name! | 02:56 |
| rasusto | im going to assume its an .xml file somewhere | 02:57 |
| xosuitehearts | my question is, is Empathy 3.0 compatible with 11.04? | 02:57 |
| beached | is there somthing like a device manager in ubuntu? | 02:58 |
| ni1s | rasusto, its probably and sqlite3 db somewhere | 02:58 |

| zykotick9_ | dr_willis, android autocorrect? | 02:59 |

| xosuitehearts | sorry | 03:00 |
| dr_willis | xosuitehearts: so let it install it rhen | 03:01 |
| zykotick9_ | xosuitehearts, if it needs gnome3 you'd best forget about it (unless you want to break unity) | 03:01 |
| Shortstraw8 | zykotick I'm real new to this, so the download says Vmware-Player-3.1.4-385536.x86_64.bundle So would I enter all that? | 03:01 |
| xosuitehearts | zykotick9_ thats what Im trying to figure out, if it needs gnome 3 | 03:01 |
| xosuitehearts | because gnome 3 is horrible | 03:01 |
| dr_willis | the gnome 3 core wont break it i thought | 03:02 |
| zykotick9_ | Shortstraw8, "chmod +x Vmware-Player-3.1.4-385536.x86_64.bundle" then "gksu ./Vmware-Player-3.1.4-385536.x86_64.bundle" should work | 03:02 |
| BrandonBolton | xosuitehearts: Gnome 3 and 11.04 is a no no together, I had to reinstall the OS. Gnome 3 is really nice though, it isn't horrible. | 03:02 |

| xosuitehearts | BrandonBolton thats what happened to me. thats why im asking if Empathy 3.0 installs Gnome 3 or not | 03:03 |
| xosuitehearts | along with it | 03:03 |
| zykotick9_ | dr_willis, allreadiced eh :p | 03:03 |
| dr_willis | parts of gnome3 are allready in 11.04 i belive | 03:03 |
| xosuitehearts | dr_willis i mean, will it install the full replacement? | 03:04 |
| xosuitehearts | dr_willis because right now I have empathy uninstalled and pidgin im installed instead | 03:04 |
| rasusto | gnome-common != gnome3 | 03:04 |
| BrandonBolton | xosuitehearts: People got it to work. Here is an link to get it to work in 11.04: http://askubuntu.com/questions/40459/how-to-install-empathy-3-x | 03:04 |
| dr_willis | xosuitehearts: i diubt it. | 03:04 |

| T3CHKOMMIE | zebastianortis, i have not had a problem it ntfs jumpdrives. try installing that suggested packages from dr_willis and i think you will be fine. | 03:21 |
| doad | ok back in a minute | 03:21 |
| zebastianortis | by the way thats the name of this release, those advices refer to dapper and gutsy | 03:21 |
| urlin2u | zebastianortis, costarican quaker lol sounds like a oxymoron. | 03:21 |
| zykotick9_ | Lynna, sorry I tried 2ndLive a couple years ago - not since. Good luck. | 03:21 |

| uns0b1ll | how can i view which usb adapter takes which /dev/ttyS^N device? | 03:22 |
| deaw | hello | 03:22 |
| zebastianortis | ok what dr willis posted has a weird named procedure and two actual solutions that seem to be specific to two other releases only | 03:22 |

| SyberBot-6249 | Hey everyone! | 03:23 |
| jrwr | Im running windows 7, trying to install Wubi, when I try to boot it just says Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr with never ending disk activity (Wubi 10.04/Ubuntu 10.04) | 03:23 |
| Lynna | oddly enough - the singularity viewer and the imprudence viewer are both working on ubuntu 11.04, but none of the official SL viewers work, they all crash as does Phoenix Viewer also. | 03:23 |
| Guest80689 | when i minimize my windows the disappear like when I hit the X where do I go to change this setting? | 03:24 |
| Paganini | Hello! annoying question maybe but I can't find how to end/kill a process that I don't know the full name of :( | 03:24 |
| urlin2u | zebastianortis, the quakers in America were great people as far as protecting and harboring the colored communities, during slavery and post times including the JimCrow era | 03:24 |
| zebastianortis | urlin2u, I know that, hence I am anarcho-capitalist of the freedomainradio tradition now | 03:25 |
| zykotick9_ | Paganini, "ps aux | grep partialname" to find it's name / or PID | 03:25 |
| zebastianortis | ok, that thing tells me to manually mount partitions, i am going to read on but i want things to be mounted automatically | 03:25 |
| zebastianortis | cannot be opening a terminal every time i insert a flash drive | 03:25 |
| * T3CHKOMMIE still not getting anywhere with grub... what a waste of my life. :( | 03:26 | |
| zykotick9_ | zebastianortis, <OT> anarcho-capitalist < contradiction isn't it? </OT> | 03:26 |
| Lynna | the crash logs for second life I posted at http://pastebin.com/7TpnF6ZA its crashing on startup. | 03:26 |
| zebastianortis | actually, i wonder if what dr willis posted was more in reference to my earlier posts before i installed ubuntu | 03:26 |

| doad | how do i get it onto the chat once i got it in the paste bin | 03:27 |
| zebastianortis | zykotick9_, actually not, you can judge for yourself, i have a youtube channel called first principles http://www.youtube.com/user/Spefbot?blend=7&ob=5 | 03:27 |
| zykotick9_ | doad, paste the link | 03:27 |
| Lynna | doad, you just post the url to the page. | 03:27 |

| doad | http://paste.ubuntu.com/688061/plain/ | 03:28 |
| Lynna | okay does Ubuntu 11.04 already have openGL as part of the operating system ? Does it come pre installed? | 03:29 |
| doad | do u mean me lynna | 03:30 |
| doad | can any one tell me how i can get back to windows i need to download it but i cant keep getting thoughs dam error messages | 03:30 |
| Lynna | doad, thanks I just was asking generally to anyone who knows of what might be included into the Ubuntu 11.04 download. | 03:30 |
| doad | oh ok | 03:30 |
| doad | can any one tell me how i can get back to windows i need to download it but i cant keep getting thoughs dam error messages | 03:31 |
| === ehw_ is now known as ehw | ||
| Paganini | zykotick9_, it gave me a page of jargon and I can't quite work out the PID, is there a brief view at all? | 03:31 |
| Lynna | what window doad? | 03:31 |
| doad | windows vista | 03:31 |
| urlin2u | doad, windows is not booting? | 03:31 |
| zykotick9_ | Paganini, that "jargon" is the list of running programs | 03:32 |
| Lynna | oh you have to reboot and then press the key to choose the vista version when it reboots | 03:32 |
| T3CHKOMMIE | to all, figured it out. the ass hole that gave me the code gave double "s for the entry name instead of single 's now it works just fine. | 03:32 |
| doad | nope i need to download it from scratch | 03:32 |
| doad | my disk is really badly scratched | 03:32 |
| zebastianortis | ok,so what is the name of the app i need to look for on synaptic | 03:32 |
| Paganini | well it all seems like running programs related to my keyword | 03:32 |
| zebastianortis | so that ntsf and fat partitions will automatically mount | 03:32 |
| urlin2u | doad, I wouldn't do that except from a legit source. | 03:32 |
| Paganini | it's not a tonne of programs just the one but there's a lot of things running I think, although this PID I killed may have worked :) | 03:33 |
| doad | i have got my windows vista serial number surely i can downlaod it | 03:33 |
| Lynna | means you have to quit Ubuntu, and choose restart and when it restarts watch the screen you will see some choices on what operating system to boot into. On my machine f12 gets me the boot menu but on some machines its escape key. | 03:33 |
| zykotick9_ | zebastianortis, they should automount by default - in a terminal type "groups", is plugdev listed? | 03:33 |
| Lynna | doad do you run a dual boot computer? | 03:33 |
| zykotick9_ | zebastianortis, are you using Gnome/Unity? | 03:33 |
| doad | yes | 03:33 |
| urlin2u | doad, if you can proof of purchas to MS you can get a disc cheap. | 03:33 |
| urlin2u | purchase* | 03:34 |
| Lynna | ok, and your Vista OS works ok ? | 03:34 |
| zebastianortis | zykotick9_, yes it does show up upon typing groups and i am on lubuntu | 03:34 |
| doad | no its corrupt | 03:34 |
| Lynna | ohh ok | 03:34 |
| zykotick9_ | doad, you're talking about pirating software, it's not legal to download MS software! | 03:34 |
| zebastianortis | ok downloading mountmanager | 03:34 |
| zykotick9_ | zebastianortis, sorry I have no idea what lubuntu offers for automounting - good luck. | 03:34 |
| Lynna | zyk, you can download software from the microsoftstore I purchase the win 7 OS from there with download key | 03:35 |
| urlin2u | zykotick9_, actually you can there, I got mine from Digital River. | 03:35 |
| doad | i know but i have already bought it the disk it beyond repair and i have my vista serial | 03:35 |
| zebastianortis | zykotick9_, I recommend looking up Stephan Kinsella | 03:35 |
| Loshki | doad: ask on #windows.... | 03:35 |
| doad | ok | 03:35 |
| zykotick9_ | Lynna, urlin2u ok if it's from a legitamate "store" I can see it. | 03:35 |
| Lynna | doad if you have any friends who have the same vista install CD you can run it and then insert your own key. | 03:36 |
| doad | thanks | 03:36 |
| urlin2u | zykotick9_, yeah I know what you meen though anybody saying download is usually not do ing it legaly. | 03:36 |
| Lynna | well, I bought a win 7 family pack (3 licenses) on the MS store with download key so its not that uncommon. | 03:37 |
| xangua | doad: Lynna how about we move on and stay on topic ;) cof*ubuntu*cof*support | 03:37 |
| Lynna | yes xangua maybe you can help me with my problem of running Second Life viewer on ubuntu 11.04? | 03:38 |
| xangua | Lynna: never tried second life, you mean runing it with wine¿ | 03:38 |
| rww | Second Life has a Linux client, doesn't it? | 03:38 |
| Lynna | no its a linux version of their program | 03:38 |
| zebastianortis | ok i was able to find my flash drive on this application called mount manager | 03:38 |
| zebastianortis | but it asks for a mountpoint | 03:38 |
| zebastianortis | i dont know wht that is | 03:39 |
| Lynna | I am using the linux version | 03:39 |
| gebbione | is there a command to check what is the partition type? | 03:39 |
| Lynna | it crashes on startup | 03:39 |
| Lynna | maybe I would have better success trying the windows version on wine. | 03:39 |
| Lynna | or that Virtual PC package | 03:39 |
| qin | gebbione: mount | 03:40 |
| urlin2u | zebastianortis, mount point in a install? | 03:41 |
| gebbione | thanks qin | 03:41 |
| zebastianortis | ok i just mounted the flash drive | 03:41 |
| Lynna | ok thanks to all who responded. I'lll go post my questions in the forum - thanks again. | 03:41 |
| zebastianortis | and it doesnt show up on the desktop | 03:41 |
| Loshki | Lynna: try a different version of their viewer? | 03:41 |
| Shortstraw8 | zykotick9_, I installed vbox thank you much easier then the vmare. I'm installing windows 7 does the creating process take a while? | 03:48 |

| sublim21 | hey all | 03:49 |
| memand | Hey guys, is any of you gamers, and can you give me some advice on the drivers for NVIDIA? | 03:50 |
| sublim21 | im trying to get wine to work on my wee little laptop (netbook) so i can rock fallout 2 | 03:50 |
| Shortstraw8 | zykotick9_, just seemed like its taking a little bit thanks again. | 03:50 |
| ChogyDan | memand: whats your question? | 03:51 |
| urlin2u | Shortstraw8, your running two OS on the same HD, W7 on a thumb would go pretty fast. | 03:51 |
| urlin2u | faster anyway | 03:52 |
| SubCool | can someone help me with grub | 03:53 |
| zykotick9_ | urlin2u, you must be joking. Even USB2 is SO slow compared to a IDE/SATA HD. I run 4+ VM's on one HD fine, but running Ubuntu off a USB drive is SLOW | 03:53 |
| MaxHR | Hello, using latest ubuntu, the hibernate option doesn't work... when selecting it for shutdown option, I just get a black screen, then computer off, when turned back on, the bootup is normal, for some reason the volume is muted, but no resume of last session, any ideas to fix? | 03:54 |
| Shortstraw8 | urlin2u, I would but I lost my last one but I might do that I just need it for school work right now, but Ill have to try that you just plug it in and go? | 03:54 |
| memand | ChoggyDan: I am using this laptop http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE620DX.html but i have the i5 not the i7, so someone told me that it is actually a bad idea installing the drivers for the nvidia card and that i should use the intel instead | 03:54 |
| frewsxcv | is there an easy way to tell if a remote host is online/offline? is ping the best application? is there a way to get a yes or no answer from ping? | 03:54 |
| memand | ChoggyDan: but im not really shure he is right | 03:55 |
| SubCool | I ahve a 500gb drive, split up a into WIn7, Kubuntu, and an old version of Kubuntu for which i delted the partition. It appears that partition held the grub information i need to boot. Can someone help me fix it? | 03:55 |
| urlin2u | zykotick9_, I thought it was a vm install, generally for installing I find thumbs faster than a cd or ISO's | 03:55 |
| memand | ChoggyDan: and when i try to google it all the info is foggy at best | 03:55 |
| zykotick9_ | urlin2u, oh sorry - i though you where suggesting installing onto a thumb drive, instead of using a VM. Sorry, my mistake :) | 03:55 |
| ChogyDan | memand: well, you can always remove the nvidia drivers. Seems like a strange suggestion. I have no idea though. There should be no harm in trying things out | 03:56 |
| Shortstraw8 | I do have a 2terabyte 6gbps hd | 03:56 |
| urlin2u | zykotick9_, your right though as far a OS, my SDHC class 10 card is even worse the my thumbs. | 03:57 |

| gebbione | i formated it under windows | 04:08 |
| bugaloo | gebbione, try ntfs-3g | 04:09 |
| ChogyDan | memand: try on the terminal: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current -d | 04:09 |
| urlin2u | gebbione, I wonder if if needs a chkdsk, just a theory here, it has worked right? | 04:09 |
| kon_ | turns out the problem with the sporadic slowness was due to having ext4 barrier enabled, which in turn caused jdb2 to make the cpu wait for io a lot | 04:09 |
| ChogyDan | memand: and then retry the graphical thing | 04:09 |
| gebbione | ok something like this? /dev/sdb2 /media/2TBStore ntfs-3g rw,user,auto,exec 0 0 | 04:09 |
| SubCool | d8bhatta, um.. for vim? just select it all, right click and copy | 04:09 |

| qin | hylian: from tty: xinit -- :1 vt8 will give you plain xserver, either you can stop gdm or boot into text. | 04:19 |
| hylian | qin, so this would give me cli, but when i wanted, i could fire up firefox, for instance? | 04:19 |
| qin | Guest59569: dcc - direct client to client, if encrypted, would be quite sequre. | 04:20 |
| memand | does ubuntu 10.04 not support compiz? | 04:20 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, you got the script run? | 04:20 |
| Guest59569 | ok | 04:20 |
| Guest59569 | thank you | 04:20 |
| qin | hylian: It will give you xterm on vt8, and you can run there whatever you want. | 04:20 |
| rww | Guest59569: /query goes you <--> IRC server <--> other person | 04:21 |
| rww | Guest59569: DCC goes you <---> other person | 04:21 |
| Guest59569 | oh ok | 04:21 |
| Guest59569 | also | 04:21 |
| qin | Guest59569: But DCC is plain text, so can be sniffed | 04:21 |
| hylian | qin, yeah, i've been able to do that already, i hate xterm with a passion. ok, thanks, thats what I thought. | 04:22 |

| Guest59569 | qin i dont think that police would sniff conversations of all users on ircnet, since there-s 57.000 plus users | 04:23 |
| qin | hylian: it is just terminal of xserver, like tty, but white. | 04:23 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, not yet.. system is hanging on the liveUSB, might have to use this one.. (not that u know my USB status lol) | 04:24 |
| hylian | qin, i know, but it always displays small for me, and i also would default it black for me. i was hoping there was a way to get something similar to ctrl alt f1, for instance, plus x11 capability. cli that can actually load images or videos, for intance. | 04:24 |
| celltech | Is Transmission the best? Or is there better? Something that doesn't eat up all my system resources? | 04:26 |
| hylian | qin, i actually installed terminator and then built a custom xsession option for it. it works pretty well, but I was looking for something a little more, tty + x11. thanks anyhow. | 04:26 |
| qin | celltech: rtorrent | 04:26 |
| sublim21 | simple question. im trying to uninstall wine on a natty narwhal installation. i uninstalled from the software center, but i would like to be sure it's completely uninstalled. whats the terminal command to permanently remove it? i know it should be sudo apt-get purge something | 04:27 |
| celltech | Awesome... Now here's the fun part. Can I transfer a partial download from transmission to rtorrent. or do I have to waite till it's done | 04:27 |
| qin | celltech: Maybe. | 04:28 |
| celltech | I hope | 04:28 |
| celltech | Transmission is slow... | 04:28 |
| qin | sublim21: rm -rf ~/.wine (very carefull!!!), and: locate wine (remove rest) | 04:29 |
| memand | celltech: you can start the torrent in rtorrent and set to download to the same destination as the partial (with the same filename of course) and the before you start the torrent you do a force re-check | 04:30 |
| memand | that should do it | 04:30 |
| qin | sublim21: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine (should remove configs and docs) | 04:30 |
| celltech | awesome... thank you. | 04:30 |
| memand | np | 04:30 |
| celltech | Now... terminal fun.. what kind of sick tricks can I do in terminal to get into some "trouble"? :D | 04:31 |
| qin | celltech: for example: typo | 04:31 |
| qin | celltech: sudo apt-get install sl && sl | 04:32 |
| celltech | Someone was saying that with a linux machine, terminal, there's endless fun you can do with it :) | 04:32 |
| celltech | nevermind. I'll bbl | 04:33 |
| celltech | Thanks again | 04:33 |
| slide | How can I manually restart the unity panel and menu? it appears to have crashed or is at least not coming up and i cant restart at the moment | 04:36 |
| rustyshackleford | having trouble pairing my bluetooth wireless keyboard. it balks at the "enter the following passcode" phase. any thoughts as to how to proceed? | 04:36 |
| urlin2u | slide, have you been tweaking compiz? | 04:36 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: usually the default pass code is: 0000 | 04:36 |
| slide | urlin2u, nope | 04:36 |
| qin | rustyshackleford: I think bt default was 0000 or 1234 | 04:37 |
| Blue1 | qin: or that | 04:37 |
| rustyshackleford | Blue1, its not that. it recognizes the device. its at the actual pairing stage. I entered the security code as requested (its a randomly generated one) and nothing happens | 04:37 |
| urlin2u | slide, compiz --replace will restart compiz and again after closing the terminal | 04:37 |
| rustyshackleford | just ... doesn't work | 04:37 |
| slide | urlin2u, i think it is still running, because if i hit the menu, and then click on the place that my launcher is supposed to be, then the app launches | 04:37 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: never heard of one randomly generated but okay - sorry I can't help | 04:38 |
| rustyshackleford | and with all of this wireless stuff, i don't know how to tell if its my hardware, or a software setting (i think its probably a software thing) | 04:38 |
| rustyshackleford | is there like a pastebin for screen shots? | 04:38 |
| qin | rustyshackleford: what dmesg says? | 04:38 |
| KaosMcRage | Greetings. Is there a smooth way to permanently decrypt your home directory if you selected to encrypt it when you installed Ubuntu Desktop (11.04)? | 04:38 |
| slide | urlin2u, thanks that worked! | 04:38 |
| urlin2u | rustyshackleford, http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | 04:39 |
| urlin2u | slide, cool | 04:39 |
| rustyshackleford | here's what it looks like as i try | 04:41 |
| rustyshackleford | http://imagebin.org/172211 | 04:41 |
| rustyshackleford | typing the following numbers and hitting enter is not met with success, obviously | 04:42 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: wow that's the first time I have ever seen a 6 digit pin for bt. | 04:42 |
| nhr | Hi, trying to set rtc alarm to wake up machine at certain time for backup tasks. | 04:43 |
| nhr | What is the easiset way to set rtc alarm for daily routine | 04:43 |
| rustyshackleford | i thought the 4 digit pins were just to specify the device type? | 04:43 |
| rustyshackleford | iono | 04:43 |
| shane__ | does anyone use Ubuntu server on a DELL T110 ? are there any known driver issues? | 04:43 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, ya, this is givin gme hell- sorry. thanks for trying.. | 04:44 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: you can give this a whirl -- ymmv applies; http://awesomelinux.blogspot.com/2010/05/ubuntu-1004-lucid-logitech-dinovo-edge.html | 04:44 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, are you familiar with supergrub? | 04:44 |
| pretzelface | Anyone know why flash video would have framerate issues when embedded in a page, but *not* in fullscreen? Google only tells me about the opposite situation. | 04:44 |
| SubCool | urlin2u, not at all | 04:45 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, so lets make sure I understand when you power on you have no boot or windows wont boot? | 04:46 |
| Blue1 | pretzelface: i am going to go out on a limb - there might be flash active elsewhere (on the page) that is not present in full screen mode. | 04:46 |
| pretzelface | Blue1, I don't think that's the issue; it happens on every site, and I run adblock anyway. | 04:47 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, anyway supergrub 2 is for booting into a broken grub 2 setup, if you get in you can put grub back in the mbr, or purge it and reinstall if needed then to the mbr. | 04:48 |
| SubCool | oh cool | 04:48 |
| urlin2u | http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ SubCool | 04:48 |
| Blue1 | urlin2u: this is what I got from jordan-u a long time ago. http://pkill-9.com/recovering-ubuntudebian-linux-after-a-windows-installhiccup/ worked well for me. | 04:50 |
| rustyshackleford | hmm... nope. dang. | 04:50 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: :-( -- dunno that was all I found in schlepping | 04:52 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: only bluetooth I have played with are my hearing aids. | 04:52 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, yeah that is a chroot from a live cd that works as well, personally I just get in with supergrub and do it from inside the OS if possible, sometimes you don't even have to chroot, if you have the cd of the installed same release as well. | 04:52 |
| Blue1 | and cell phones | 04:52 |
| rustyshackleford | I found a great discussion of the install process | 04:52 |
| rustyshackleford | http://iamyouruser.blogspot.com/2011/03/logitech-dinovo-edge-on-ubuntu-1010.html | 04:52 |
| rustyshackleford | I get to step 3, whereas he gets past it | 04:52 |
| rustyshackleford | but he's on 10.10, and I'm on 10.04 | 04:53 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, all this realy depends on the damage done, as far as access and reloading grub. | 04:53 |
| rustyshackleford | .. i suppose you're going to say the obvious solution is to upgrade? | 04:53 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: wow that was 6 months ago - so fairly recently | 04:54 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: dunno not tried bt at all on my computers | 04:54 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: curiously have you tried this in windows? | 04:55 |
| rustyshackleford | no i haven't and that's a brilliant idea | 04:56 |
| rustyshackleford | brb. but i bet it does :( | 04:56 |
| Blue1 | k | 04:56 |
| Blue1 | rustyshackleford: that would at least tell you it;s a software issue not a hardware | 04:57 |
| poitee | anyone ever do fake motherboard raid as there / partition in linux? my motherboard drivers for linux just has a txt file saying use the latest kernel.. didn't know if it was possible or even worth it | 04:57 |

| SubCool | urlin2u, making a new liveusb now.. | 05:07 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, cool | 05:07 |
| SubCool | eherde, | 05:07 |
| SubCool | i wanna partition it to make 2 on one disk, but i dont think i have enough space. | 05:07 |
| SubCool | 8gig should work for two right? and make them persistant | 05:07 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, using what loader, you need a multiloader like this one. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 05:09 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, you can only make one persistent I believe. | 05:09 |
| SubCool | thats cool, but id hate to lose the one i just made | 05:10 |
| SubCool | eh- honestly, i just want to be able to use one stick on 32 and 64 bit platforms | 05:10 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, I don't know how your loading a second but without a custom gru2 set up or a multiloader app you will loose the first I believe. | 05:11 |
| urlin2u | grub2 | 05:11 |
| SubCool | im not, i want one. :) | 05:11 |
| SubCool | knew i shoulda picked up the 16 gig | 05:11 |
| Blue1 | SubCool: yeah what I have discovered is the different linux os will change things like .profile and gnome settings for example -- so if I multiboot differnt linux os, I use a different gui in each. | 05:12 |
| grendal-prime | grrrr im really pissed | 05:12 |
| urlin2u | SubCool, the mulisystem loader v=cvan have many ISO's on it I have a 16 gig thumb I use, 32 or 64 bit no problem it just boots the ISO's, only one persistent though | 05:12 |
| SubCool | i havent seen the need to derive from ubuntu so far | 05:12 |
| grendal-prime | so got this thor disk thing will not play it literally acts like there is not supported codex | 05:12 |
| grendal-prime | werid looking blocky stuff and flashing going on | 05:13 |

| grendal-prime | urlin2u, ya right sorry hold on ill get the exact error | 05:13 |
| Blue1 | SubCool: i hear you | 05:13 |
| SubCool | Blue1, nah screw the wars, they all have thier own purpose.. | 05:14 |
| Blue1 | SubCool: i put a fully installed ubuntu on a flash drive - works great | 05:14 |
| SubCool | if u know the code, u can go where u want. if u dont ( like me) - u stick with easy | 05:14 |
| SubCool | Blue1, im kinda doing that now as i repair all the computers, but- what a headache | 05:14 |
| Blue1 | SubCool: i might look at putting backtrack on a flash | 05:14 |
| SubCool | OOOOOOOOOoo ya | 05:14 |
| SubCool | they have it | 05:14 |
| SubCool | but i personally dont find BT very useful | 05:15 |
| SubCool | u need the hardware to go with it, otherwise it is just an OS- | 05:15 |
| Blue1 | have been playing with debian - debian is great it is NOT desktop friendly however. | 05:15 |

| urlin2u | grendal-prime, I see a alot of that error mentioned on a web search. | 05:21 |
| SubCool | sage_, when i first started using linux, blinking at it could cause it | 05:21 |
| sage_ | what do you mean? | 05:22 |
| grendal-prime | ya and a lot of finger pointing as to what may be the problem | 05:22 |
| sage_ | im not pointing fingers | 05:22 |
| sage_ | i like ubuntu | 05:22 |

| grendal-prime | and the nividia kernel is software..so these geeks all around beat it up and get to get the skinny on how their cards work | 05:25 |

| mrdeb | blue, how it going with that | 05:26 |
| SubCool | sage_, i get nothing too- ur using it wrong | 05:26 |
| mrdeb | is it | 05:26 |
| sage_ | im on the latest distro | 05:26 |
| ServerTech | I have Ubuntu 11.04 Server Edition with GNOME installed. After running 'sudo apt-get install webmin' for webmin installation, terminal hanged, and the mouse does not move, nor does the keyboard work. | 05:26 |

| SubCool | Blue1, throw a copy of ubuntu or mandriva on there- test partition see if that does anything. And if its not that, i remember on older machines having issues with 4cores aswell. Something to do with bios.. | 05:27 |
| sage_ | is there a better tutorial | 05:27 |
| SubCool | sage_, good luck finding it- | 05:27 |

| ServerTech | Blue1: any way i can get my server to work again without a restart? | 05:33 |
| Blue1 | SubCool: cool I do have 11.04 64 bit desktop already d/l -- try tomorrow | 05:33 |
| SubCool | Blue1, what i do is- i pop in the LIveUSB, turn on the Sysmon widget. and thats enough for me usually. Maybe download the benchmark program | 05:33 |
| SubCool | Blue1, good luck! | 05:33 |
| grendal-prime | urlin2u, im trying to figure out a way to do online rentals same way netflix does it. I m mean i know technically how to do it..but legally. | 05:33 |
| M0n3yRuL3z | hey there, im wondering is there photoshop for Ubuntu? if not, is there any other program that may substitute to photoshop ? | 05:33 |
| Blue1 | ServerTech: no you would have to boot up off the livecd so would require a reboot | 05:33 |
| sage_ | well if i have more questions i guess ill just have to come back | 05:33 |
| sage_ | money rulez use gimp | 05:34 |
| SubCool | lata | 05:34 |

| grendal-prime | but you got to learn it. | 05:34 |
| M0n3yRuL3z | grendal-prime, thanks | 05:34 |
| SubCool | its the same shit | 05:34 |

| sage_ | "o | 05:34 |
| sage_ | :) | 05:34 |
| SubCool | im sorry, sage_ did u say something? | 05:35 |
| grendal-prime | i did newspaper production for 7 years. i would have killed for gimp | 05:35 |
| sage_ | lol nm | 05:35 |
| sage_ | mostly kidding | 05:35 |
| rww | !tab | sage_ | 05:35 |
| ubottu | sage_: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 05:35 |
| Blue1 | the one thing I wish gimp had was an auto correct feature for photos | 05:35 |
| sage_ | not serious | 05:35 |
| rww | just fyi | 05:35 |
| FloodBot1 | sage_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:35 |
| urlin2u | grendal-prime, yeah if you could and have open source access as well you might have something there, inspite of the lower user base in general, enough to profit past the overhead. | 05:35 |
| SubCool | rww, lol he was stuck at M | 05:35 |
| rww | SubCool: indeed | 05:35 |
| sage_ | how was i flooding? | 05:35 |
| SubCool | ignore it | 05:35 |
| rww | sage_: because you press [Enter] too often. | 05:36 |
| sage_ | ahh | 05:36 |

| SubCool | hahahahaha | 05:36 |
| rww | Blue1: given that annoying the floodbots is a good way to involuntarily exit #ubuntu... | 05:36 |
| grendal-prime | urlin2u, are you kidding me...ill take anyone...just the opensource community in general would be great...like Ross perot said.."i thought 13% of ibm was a great number" | 05:36 |
| Blue1 | rww: indeed that is why I said heh | 05:36 |
| SubCool | thats what makes it soo funny | 05:36 |
| sage_ | ok well its off to code the wizard the wonderful wizard of ubuntu oh its off the code the wizard..... | 05:37 |
| grendal-prime | thing is urlin2u I got customers that tell me all the time "if you figure it out we will use you instead of netflix" | 05:37 |
| Blue1 | as long as it doesn't turn out to be: I;ll get you my pretty, and your little cpu 2! | 05:37 |
| grendal-prime | its a legal nightmare from what i can tell though..netfilx negotiates each and every title. | 05:38 |

| Blue1 | not a strong suit for me | 05:40 |
| grendal-prime | blue...ya you know i was actually thinking along the lines of a since it would be rather small time operation... using literaly a carosel machine that would allow full access to all the dvd features. | 05:40 |
| o0110o | hello | 05:41 |
| Blue1 | grendal-prime: that would be nice. we should develop that! | 05:41 |
| grendal-prime | that would also meet all the req's for distrobution and liscencing. | 05:41 |
| SIFTU | bambanx: cd /home.myuser/downloads && grep -r <pattern> * | 05:41 |
| grendal-prime | because you could only play one disk at a time per customer.. | 05:41 |

| urlin2u | Blue1, there's no place like gnome | 05:42 |

| bambanx | SIFTU, with cd ? | 05:42 |
| willbradley | bambanx: it's the grep that does it | 05:42 |

| maheanuu | I have a question about wifi routers and don't know where to ask | 05:57 |
| Besogon | ASK maheanuu | 05:58 |
| Besogon | :) | 05:58 |
| Besogon | ubuntu listen you | 05:58 |
| Besogon | ^^ | 05:58 |
| maheanuu | I have my router set up and I have 2 young school age children who have access and I need to limit their access speeds as they are taking all my bandwidth | 05:59 |
| zHammeRz | sounds like they aren't ready for the internet yet | 05:59 |
| grendal-prime | ya so anyway | 06:00 |
| SIFTU | maheanuu: you can do QoS depending on your router | 06:00 |
| Besogon | maheanuu: It's not related to wifi there is a firewall problem. I never did such things by the way | 06:00 |
| grendal-prime | that didnt work | 06:01 |
| maheanuu | Besogon, What I would like to do is limit them to about 50Kbps as it is I only have 270K here and they are syphoning all of it | 06:01 |
| maheanuu | I live on the island of Raiatea and my bandwidth costs me 14500 Tahitian France a month which is about 155 dollars a month | 06:02 |
| SIFTU | maheanuu: I can do it on my router http://dl.dropbox.com/u/906920/screenshots/screenshot-20110912230201.jpeg | 06:02 |
| zHammeRz | what kind of router? | 06:03 |
| zHammeRz | maheanuu, what kind of router? | 06:04 |
| maheanuu | zHammeRz, it is a Netgear DGN200-0 | 06:04 |
| maheanuu | 2000 | 06:05 |
| === pinnen_ is now known as pinnen | ||
| maheanuu | SIFTU, and thanks I have saved that page I will find out if the Netgear will allow me to limit for other users, I can still connect using cat5 | 06:06 |
| SIFTU | maheanuu: I think it does have QoS (your router) | 06:06 |
| === RudyValencia- is now known as RudyValencia | ||
| maheanuu | I will be going in there soon, I just had the kids off, I don't mind them using some of the bandwidth but they are continiously downloading videos and various music and live feeds and I end up with no width to speak of | 06:08 |
| zHammeRz | does't take much to max 270k what is that, 2.5mbit? | 06:08 |
| SIFTU | maheanuu: yeah you need QoS :).. you could give your computer higher priority than theirs | 06:08 |
| maheanuu | BBIAB, going to see if I can find the QoS page | 06:09 |

| Shirakawasuna | running xubuntu (this was the case with kubuntu as well, probably normal ubuntu), the boot splash and 'shutting down' splashes are very inconsistent. The boot splash almost never works, normally I just get a black screen (if it was ubuntu, purple), occasionally a couple of init messages. The shut down splash works ~1/3 of the time, the rest of the time it's just like the boot | 06:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | any ideas on troubleshooting this? Are there scripts to re-setup that stuff? | 06:17 |

| Blake | hi! anyone know anything about setting up multi displays (3) across 2 different GPUs? | 06:27 |
| susundberg | Blake: it is doable at least with xorg.conf, but can you do that with GUI i am not sure | 06:28 |
| Blake | ah | 06:28 |
| susundberg | Here is some text about it: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors | 06:28 |
| Blake | well Ive looked across plenty of posts and as far as I can tell it's a nightmare for a novice to set up | 06:29 |
| susundberg | Yeah i am afraid its not piece of cake .. :/ | 06:29 |
| Blake | :( | 06:29 |
| susundberg | Blake: see that page i pasted, section "Configuring X " | 06:30 |
| susundberg | Blake: Again, as i said, i have no glue if there is GUI for doing that | 06:30 |
| Blake | right now ive got it set up so that each screen is a separate x screen, but I cant move windows across screens and theres no icons on the other screens for maximize, minimize and close | 06:30 |
| Blake | yeah | 06:30 |
| susundberg | clue not glue | 06:30 |
| Blake | haha | 06:30 |
| Blake | ive been reading about xrandr as well, with little understanding xD | 06:31 |

| Blake | thanks for the link | 06:31 |
| susundberg | Np, happy hacking | 06:31 |
| theadmin | Blake: If you end up messing the config up, do "rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && Xorg -configure" | 06:31 |

| theadmin | My friend has a little problem with Ubuntu, and actually any other distros. After bootup, the screen brightness drops to 80% and will *not* go up higher, nothing helps - xbrightness, keyboard manipulations, nothing! Apparently, this happens when udev is processing stuffs. Any way to tell udev to keep the brightness at 100%? | 06:37 |
| bullgard4 | theadmin: If this phenomenon appears "with any other distros" then the hardware of your friend is at fault and udev cannot help. | 06:40 |
| theadmin | bullgard4: Are you so certain? It works fine in Windows. | 06:41 |
| bullgard4 | theadmin: So the premise in your question was false. | 06:42 |
| theadmin | bullgard4: ...Windows ain't a distro | 06:42 |
| bullgard4 | theadmin: If this phenomenon appears with any other operating system then the hardware of your friend is at fault and udev cannot help. | 06:42 |
| theadmin | bullgard4: Thing is, it works fine with Windows, but not with Linux. This can not be a hardware issue. | 06:43 |
| bullgard4 | theadmin: This inference is correct. | 06:44 |
| theadmin | bullgard4: Are you just trolling me? Jeez. | 06:44 |

| urlin2u | taraduffy, you can run unity -reset to get it back as installed and follow this link to set up the cube correctly.

| heylelshalem | and i have a external soundcard that runs though pulse and into wine using jack | 07:13 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, run compiz --replace in the terminal first or logut and log in since compiz has some issues the cube does work though. | 07:13 |

| taraduffy | taraduffy-ThinkPad login: cursor but when I type characters come up in place of some of the letters on the keyboard | 07:21 |
| urlin2u | anli_, not in particular, what is the card? | 07:21 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, type your user name then the password. | 07:22 |
| taraduffy | I cant. The keyboard has gone strange - what I type does not come up; other characters do instead | 07:22 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I used http://www.myfixlog.com/fix.php?fid=66 but the flashdisk remains unbootable | 07:23 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I am unsure what I am doing is wrong | 07:23 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, okay lest do a soft shutdown hold down theses keys in the order then slowly type the rest crtl=alt=prtc R-E-I-S-U-B | 07:24 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, if that doesn't work you can hit f7 and get back to the desktop or shutdown with tghe power button, sounds like no reboot from the desktop though. | 07:25 |
| taraduffy | urlin2u I can do control alt delete for a complete shutdown? (what is prtc?) | 07:26 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, it is the print scree key top right area mine says prtsc and sysrq | 07:27 |
| urlin2u | screen* | 07:27 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, if crtl alt delete shuts you down go for it we just need a reboot of some sort it seems | 07:28 |
| taraduffy | urlin2u, OK, restarting OK. | 07:29 |
| Fabs | OK | 07:29 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, cool I suspect most of the desktop will be back. | 07:29 |
| taraduffy | urlin2u: I am at login, shall I go ahead? | 07:29 |
| === _nyuszika7h_ is now known as nyuszik7h | ||
| urlin2u | taraduffy, sure login into unity lets see what happens. | 07:30 |
| === nyuszik7h is now known as nyuszika7h | ||
| urlin2u | taraduffy, yo were in unity before I asume. | 07:30 |
| taraduffy | urlin2u, same - no controls or sidebar just desktop as one window covering the whole screen. | 07:31 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, can you hit ctrl-alt -t and get a terminal, this has to be set in compiz in natty to run but lets see. | 07:32 |
| taraduffy | urlin2u: ctrl alt t has no effect at all. | 07:33 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, I would just do the same shuts=down and go to the classic desktop at the login, it is at the bottom popup after choosing your user name. | 07:34 |
| sh00p | Is there a way to add kernel modules to the server/minimal installer if they don't already exist on the install media? I want to install on microSD but the installer doesnt have sdhci_pci.ko | 07:35 |
| taraduffy | urlin2u, some success! now I have a top toolbar but no launcher. - shall I go into system settings and undo what i did with desktop cube etc? | 07:36 |

| kilon | Hi there, i am using unity and i was wondering when i have multiple windows of the same app, how i change between them like alt+tab ? | 07:38 |
| zHammeRz | kilon, if you click on the apps icon in the taskbar it should display all the windows then you cna just double click the one you want | 07:39 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, here is a cool app to install that will sit in the top panel that has a restsrt window manager=compiz and other cool controls download it, and open the startup applications and put in the command indicator-displex to have it be there when you start up in general, once installed it will be in the menus as well. | 07:39 |
| urlin2u | http://sourceforge.net/projects/displex/files/displex-0.7.1/ | 07:39 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, this will restart compiz as needed while you mess with it. | 07:40 |
| taraduffy | urlin2u: OK. many thanks :-)) | 07:40 |
| kilon | zHammeRz: that will open the app right ? i have already opened it. Multiple windows of it. I want to browse through the windows | 07:40 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, no problem the displex does what the fusion icon did in earlier releases. | 07:41 |
| zHammeRz | no, it shouldn't..at least it doesn't for me..maybe it's a app by app basis | 07:41 |
| zHammeRz | what is the app? | 07:41 |
| kilon | zHammeRz: the applications tab shows none of my opened apps | 07:42 |
| taraduffy | urlin2u, thanks again :-)) | 07:42 |
| ct529 | anyone using unity? I appear not to be able to modify the main bar .... every time I put an application in it, whenever I log out, it resets the bar | 07:42 |
| urlin2u | anli_, has the card ever worked? | 07:43 |
| zHammeRz | kilon, it works with terminal, I just opened 7 windows and then clicking on the icon with the left mouse button brought up a bunch of windows of all my open terminals I could choose from | 07:43 |
| urlin2u | ct529, are you putting apps there ? | 07:43 |
| scarleo | ct529: Is it the launcher on the left side ur talking abt? | 07:44 |
| kilon | zHammeRz: its allow me to open only a single terminal window | 07:44 |
| urlin2u | taraduffy, no problem have fun. :D | 07:45 |
| kilon | damn unity acts so weird | 07:45 |
| zHammeRz | kilon, then I don't know..that isn't how mine is working and I just use the defaults | 07:46 |
| taraduffy | urlin2u: last thing, I downloaded from the link - how do Install it? | 07:46 |
| kilon | me too, stadard ubuntu 11.04 install, latest update, nothing changed | 07:46 |
| XceptN | Do you know if 11.10 to include Gnome 3.0 environment in addition to Unity? | 07:46 |
| aeplus | kilon, use ctrl+shift+n | 07:46 |
| anli_ | urlin2u: It has always worked poor since I installed 11.04 | 07:46 |
| kilon | aeplus: that combo opens a scripts manager | 07:47 |
| anli_ | Maybe it wasnt that good before either | 07:47 |
| heylelshalem | hello? | 07:47 |
| aeplus | kilon: with the terminal application having focus? | 07:47 |
| kilon | aeplus: ah ok, now it works | 07:48 |
| aeplus | i either use terminal tabs or new windows | 07:48 |
| kilon | i am ablet to create multiple windows of terminal | 07:48 |
| kilon | however if i maximise all those terminal windows how i can browse through them ? | 07:48 |
| aeplus | kilon, works with for terminal application in other windows managers as well | 07:49 |
| aeplus | alt+tab | 07:49 |
| kilon | yeah i know alt+Tab | 07:49 |
| kilon | i was seeking for some alternative | 07:49 |
| kilon | a gui element maybe | 07:49 |
| cvam | I upgraded Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 . the system said upgrade is complete but with some errors(it says gconf is failed to install or update). when I log in after upgrade desktop is shown without panel then Using create launcher i launch terminal and then gnome-panel.I have to do this on every login. how to fix this | 07:50 |
| aeplus | kilon, i prefer using tabs instead of windows... ctrl+shift+t | 07:50 |
| aeplus | then you can use alt+1, alt+2 to select tabs | 07:50 |
| urlin2u | anli_, realtecs I think in general are a bit tough from a look at the web, and that card, I'm not really up in this area, these are some links that may help not sure really. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 07:50 |

| majidkhoram | hi, all, does any body know, why my "Time & Date" can't be opened? | 07:51 |
| kilon | this is very weird not to be able to see which windows are opened | 07:53 |
| aeplus | kilon, hah... i like it.. i have a 9" screen | 07:54 |
| kilon | you like not be able to browse through your windows ? | 07:54 |
| aeplus | i only have five items in the launcher | 07:55 |
| kilon | what that had to do with widows ? | 07:55 |
| aeplus | oh, i figured running applications, i don't have that many running | 07:56 |
| urlin2u | kilon, there should be little indicators on the open apps icons in the left panel on the far left of the icon one dot per app what happens when you click multiple time on the icon if you have multiple instances of one open? | 07:56 |
| kilon | urlin2u: indeed there is | 07:56 |
| aeplus | as for window terminals, i use tabs and shuffle between them... i probably only have five terminal sessions open at any time | 07:56 |
| kilon | urlin2u: its tries to move the icon | 07:57 |
| aeplus | clicking on it, should present the options | 07:57 |
| kilon | ooooops | 07:57 |
| kilon | my bad | 07:57 |
| * XceptN withdraws trolly question | 07:57 | |

| _et | how do I find the exact version number or build date of an installed daily build?? | 07:58 |
| urlin2u | _et, you using Oneric? | 07:58 |
| aeplus | uname -a ? | 07:58 |
| _et | I have two machines on which daily builds are installed and I'm not able to find out which is which | 07:59 |
| kilon | sorry urlin2u my mistake, apparently i was moving slightly the mouse cursor | 07:59 |
| kilon | thank you people | 07:59 |
| kilon | i have figured it our now lol | 07:59 |

| wh1zz0 | Hi guys.. Im on natty and I have ubuntuadhoc setup (and encrypted of course) .. 2 windows PC usually access my internet via my adhoc. But my question is this.. How can I see the computers that are currently connected to my internet service, so I can always watch, trace and know when it's beyond the two people I've given then WEP key?? | 08:00 |
| _et | aeplus: that gives just the kernel version. But what I need is a way to find out the build date .. :) | 08:00 |
| urlin2u | _et, the command given should help but the channel for help is #ubuntu+1 | 08:00 |
| _et | urlin2u: Thank you! | 08:00 |
| aeplus | hah, i thought uname -a gave the build date | 08:01 |
| _et | aeplus: Apparently, it doesn't. | 08:02 |
| anli_ | urlin2u: oh, its a wired card | 08:04 |
| aeplus | i guess my install is system-specific | 08:04 |
| kilon | unity acts weird , it does not appear when i move the mouse to the left, sometimes | 08:05 |
| ct529 | scarleo: yes it is the launcher | 08:08 |
| sunit_ | aeplus: closing firefox is not helping | 08:08 |
| ct529 | urlin2u: yes, I put the applications there and then I click on the "keep it in the launcher" | 08:08 |
| aeplus | sunit_, i was guessing it was a memory leak, you wouldn't happen to be running eclipse or an eclipse-derived application? | 08:08 |
| scarleo | ct529: SO how do you add the apps to it? Right click and Keep in launcher? | 08:09 |
| ct529 | scarleo: yes | 08:10 |
| scarleo | ct529: Not sure abt what might cause that, I know my launcher gets reset sometimes if another user logs in between my logins, but I never had it reset just from login/logout | 08:11 |
| ct529 | scarleo: but then I log out .... and they are not kept in launcher | 08:11 |
| ct529 | scarleo: is there a configuration file I cna modify by hand? | 08:11 |
| alibo | Hello, where is the place to set environment varialbes that need to be set before a services starts. It is that tomcat6 needs to have CATALINA_HOME set before it starts. | 08:13 |
| kilon | how i have access via unity to all classic menus like for example additional driver , synaptic etc ? | 08:13 |
| alibo | My question is where can I set them? In the ~/.bashrc would be too late. | 08:13 |
| scarleo | ct529: I think you are better off finding the source of the problem, I'm not sure how to debug that though. Have you tried creating a new user and see if the same happens there? | 08:14 |

| vercingetorix | hi. i uninstalled emerald with 'sudo apt-get purge emerald' and now i have no window-borders. i have tried to rectify this by making sure i had window borders in System>Preferences>Appearence to no avail. How do I get window borders back? | 08:24 |
| vercingetorix | btw window borders === _ + x to maximize, minimize, close. has title of window, etc | 08:25 |
| tomodachi | vercingetorix: emereald, at least used to be the stuff handling window borders back in the day. Maybe you should reinstall it? or go for unity2d | 08:25 |
| tomodachi | wich is not compiz | 08:25 |
| kilon | anyone else has problem that when you maximise a window , it become all white ? | 08:25 |
| vercingetorix | orly? i thought i had installed emerald from outside sources, not that it was included with ubuntu | 08:26 |
| tomodachi | kilon: happend to me once in a while, but i have no solution for it. | 08:26 |
| tomodachi | vercingetorix: do you remembert the name of the package? (then i can compare with my install) | 08:26 |
| kilon | yeah tomodachi same here, happens once a while. I thouht it was my drivers , but even downloading from nvidia did not help | 08:26 |
| vercingetorix | emerald-theme-manager or something | 08:26 |
| vercingetorix | i'm just apt-getting emerald again | 08:26 |
| mkquist | vercingetorix: try installing compiz-settings-manager and enable decorations... | 08:27 |
| tomodachi | vercingetorix: i dont have it, but accordingt to apt it conflicts with cgwd, gcompitzthemer | 08:27 |
| tomodachi | so maybe you need them back , to replace the hole emerald left | 08:27 |
| mkquist | vercingetorix: after installing compiz of course | 08:27 |
| vercingetorix | ah i see now | 08:27 |
| vercingetorix | i have compiz-settings-manager mkquist | 08:28 |
| vercingetorix | also compiz | 08:28 |
| vercingetorix | what happened is in window decorations | 08:28 |
| tomodachi | kilon: I also have nvidia, myst say im waiting for the next release, Then im turning to LTS. cant stand this bugginess no more. UNtill they rething the release cycle a bit | 08:28 |
| vercingetorix | in 'Command' field it has 'emerald --replace' | 08:28 |
| vercingetorix | i believe before it was supposed to be 'metacity --replace' | 08:28 |
| vercingetorix | lemme try | 08:28 |
| kilon | NVIDIA GEFORCE 62000 Turbocache | 08:28 |
| vercingetorix | great success :) | 08:29 |
| mkquist | vercingetorix: see if it sticks on reboot | 08:29 |
| vercingetorix | well sorta | 08:29 |
| vercingetorix | i'll try mkquist | 08:29 |
| vercingetorix | somethings are a little funky yet | 08:29 |
| kilon | i have being told my card is ancient lol | 08:31 |
| Fudge | hi a computer i have is booting into busybox shell, how can i get it to boot normally, it does it on any kerenls from the list | 08:32 |
| filePeter | Hi, on my Thinkpad T520, ubuntu LTS does not seem to have ethernet... wifi works... What could e the matter? | 08:32 |
| kilon | Fudge: have you tried ubuntu recovery mode ? | 08:32 |
| tomodachi | filePeter: do you see the devices when typing ifconfig in the terminal? | 08:32 |
| ataq_ | Hey all, openprinting.org is down and I need to get hplip-3.10.9-plugin.run in order to print, any ideas? | 08:32 |
| Fudge | no havent tried recovery | 08:33 |
| Fudge | i thought it was the same as a busybox shell and im not sure with limitted tolls how to fsck or mount | 08:33 |
| filePeter | tomodachi: No. lspci states there is a device... nothing more.. | 08:33 |
| kilon | Fudge: there is a low graphics mode, if its a graphic problem it will allow you to fix it | 08:33 |
| kilon | ataq_: nothing in google ? | 08:33 |
| Fudge | im fine with the command line kilon | 08:33 |
| Fudge | but someone else is reading it for me and thought recovery wasnt a full bash | 08:34 |
| teweWork | where can i find logs (or any information) why mount hangs? i'm trying to mount some windows shares and it works almost always, but sometimes it just hangs (about once every month) and i have to reboot to fix it, i wanna know why it happens and fix it without rebooting | 08:34 |
| vercingetorix | seems to be better | 08:34 |
| vercingetorix | window border is back at least | 08:34 |
| ataq_ | kilon: No nothing, as far as I can see, it just completely relies on openprinting.org | 08:34 |
| urlin2u | vercingetorix, you have window decoration ticked in compiz? | 08:34 |
| vercingetorix | yep urlin2u | 08:34 |
| Fudge | kilon with recovery is it easy enough to brin gup an interface so i can ssh | 08:34 |
| kilon | fair enough | 08:35 |
| urlin2u | vercingetorix, compiz has some refresh problems in natty compiz --replace wil restart it or logging out sometimes a reboot is needed. | 08:36 |
| vercingetorix | in lucid 10.04 still urlin2u, plus i think this is a solved issue, thanks :) | 08:36 |
| talin | hello. if i make an SSH-account such that someone can use an SSH-tunnel to access my non-public computers... how can i do that, but prevent them from having an interactive shell? | 08:36 |
| urlin2u | vercingetorix, cool you have the fusion icon to use if needed. | 08:36 |
| vercingetorix | fusion icon? | 08:37 |
| omidp | hey guys i thnk im not supposed to ask about this here but for an emergency i do it | 08:37 |
| urlin2u | vercingetorix, yes it is a control for compiz it will restart the manager and such. | 08:37 |

| anli_ | Hoiw can I trouble shoot that? | 08:50 |
| cheater | hook up your monitor to the other graphic card output. | 08:50 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, so you get to the f6 for nomodeset is that how your using that command | 08:51 |
| raj-darkmystery | yes urlin2u I tried with nomodeset using F6 but no luck | 08:52 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, sorry a install, has it ever booted in and have you changed the grphic drivers? | 08:52 |

| cheater | why will you not | 08:55 |
| anli_ | Its a server | 08:55 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, so this is a little confusing here, can you be real specific your on a live cd is this on that computer, and what live cd? | 08:55 |
| cheater | and? | 08:55 |
| anli_ | And I dont have use for xwindows | 08:55 |
| cheater | you use it for the desktop | 08:55 |
| mrn__ | hey guys | 08:55 |
| cheater | wait til unity breaks on you | 08:55 |
| cheater | then you'll wish you had gnome around | 08:55 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, live CD | 08:55 |
| anli_ | I will only connect to this server remotely | 08:55 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, of? | 08:55 |
| cheater | oh | 08:55 |
| anli_ | hehe | 08:55 |
| histo | anli_: what are you trying to do? | 08:56 |
| anli_ | "I will probaby not need xwindows on this computer, can I just uninstall it and reboot?" | 08:56 |
| cheater | i thought you meant that x is a server | 08:56 |
| anli_ | I have not use for it | 08:56 |
| cheater | then you shouldn't be using the desktop edition | 08:56 |
| anli_ | no | 08:56 |
| histo | anli_: sure | 08:56 |
| cheater | use the server version then | 08:56 |
| cheater | but yes you can uninstall it | 08:56 |
| anli_ | I know, but now I have the desktop edition | 08:56 |
| mrn__ | i was installing openjdk -6 in my machine after complete installation i powered off my system . But now if i am trying to log into the system it is not accepting the password | 08:56 |

| histo | anli_: that being said you can remove X and reboot and get to a command line system. | 08:57 |
| anli_ | trying | 08:57 |

| cheater | not there | 08:58 |
| cheater | i need to download it | 08:58 |
| histo | cheater: if you need one from an older version of ubuntu you can hunt around in packages.ubuntu.com | 08:58 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, and you said you used f6, this is only on a live cd or usb/pendrive, can you see how this is confusing. In that your using a live cd but you are giving rather conflicting info no be-ig deal just trying to get to the answer of what is actually installed as well. | 08:58 |
| cheater | histo, what if it's from a ppa or something like that? | 08:59 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, do you have 10.04 installed? | 08:59 |
| histo | cheater: you'd have to check with that ppa then | 08:59 |
| histo | cheater: or you could possible find the source code of the original package and just build the old version yourself | 09:00 |
| cheater | histo, that ppa seems to be down. it's the google-chrome-stable ppa | 09:00 |
| histo | cheater: and what is wrong witht he current stable? | 09:00 |
| cheater | i need the old version to perform tests | 09:00 |
| g[r]eek | Hi fellas. I'm trying to set up a FTP server using proftpd on Ubuntu. I've followed all the instructions on this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 but when I try log into my FTP server using my ftp client (filezilla) I get this error: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". Here is my proftpd conf: http://pastie.org/2525328 - any ideas? | 09:00 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, yes I do have ubuntu 10.04 installed but I am not able to get the graphics so right now 'm trying on live CD and checking if anyhow I can get the graphics :( so for now we can think we are on live cd only and nothing is installed | 09:01 |
| Davst | Hi, I'm having some weird issues with a USB drive, problem is the USB drive will shutdown randomly (once every 1 or 2 days) this behavior doesn't exist if it's hooked up to a windows or OSX machine. Also it stays mounted and says device is busy if i try to unmount it. Anyone know if there is a USB drive fix for ubuntu? | 09:01 |
| Starminn | A USB drive is suddenly read-only. How can I fix this? | 09:02 |
| histo | Starminn: mount it r/w | 09:03 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, you can't fix this from the live cd, have you done a nomodeset from the grub menu with using e to edit the kernel? | 09:05 |
| raj-darkmystery | Intel corporation Sandy Brudge Integrated Graphics Controller, no graphics in ubuntu 10.04, nomodeset is also not able to solve the issue :( | 09:05 |
| raj-darkmystery | yes urlin2u i tried that as well.. while booting I replaced quite splash with nomodeset but the result was same :( | 09:05 |
| Starminn | histo: Clearly. I want to plug it in, and it be read/write, like it used to be. Suddenly it's mounting as read. I want it to stop. | 09:05 |
| histo | Starminn: what were you last playing with when this behavior started? | 09:06 |
| Davst | Noone has any idea about the USB drive that occasionally powers down itself? | 09:06 |
| cheater | histo, i also have another package which *is* from ubuntu, but i don't know how to find that older version. what did you mean by hunting around on packages.ubuntu.com? i can't find it there | 09:07 |
| histo | cheater: yeah you won't find it there if you installed it from a ppa | 09:07 |
| cheater | histo, no it's from the main repository | 09:08 |
| benoliver999 | Has anyone tried moving their whole OS to SSD without doing a clean install? Is it worth doing? I have a 1TB HDD but want to use it just for storage. | 09:08 |
| cheater | you know what never mind | 09:08 |
| histo | benoliver999: it can be done but i would back up your home first | 09:08 |
| cheater | the package in question was php5 | 09:08 |
| histo | cheater: oh well you can find older versions of that | 09:09 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, I think you can get it to work this is outside my area of knowledge in general, so others can help, the channel is really busy during the day US time, and the ubuntu forums are a great resource as well. | 09:09 |
| histo | cheater: earlier you said it was google chrome stable | 09:09 |
| cheater | if any of its files had bad blocks in them, they probably were less buggy than the code the php team wrote | 09:09 |
| benoliver999 | Thanks histo. | 09:09 |
| cheater | histo, this is another one (i did mention that :p) | 09:09 |
| histo | cheater: what version of php5 are you looking for? | 09:09 |
| cheater | 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.7 | 09:10 |
| rosaliatembe | hi all | 09:10 |
| rosaliatembe | i need to connect to an irc channel for mac os x | 09:10 |
| histo | cheater: what is the specific package name you are looking for? you may have issues with all the dependencies etc.. | 09:11 |
| raj-darkmystery | thanks urlin2u I need to ask it later in evening then :( as day here | 09:11 |
| cheater | histo, i don't know | 09:11 |
| cheater | er well | 09:11 |
| cheater | the *package* name is php5 | 09:11 |
| cheater | but i don't know the package archive name | 09:11 |
| rosaliatembe | can anyone help me. how to join to an mac os x channel? | 09:12 |
| histo | cheater: well 10.04 which is the LTS release has 5.3.2-ubuntu4.9 | 09:12 |
| Starminn | histo: Honestly I don't know what did it because the time span between when it worked like it should and now is like 2 months, and as you can imagine a lot has been played with. | 09:12 |
| histo | Starminn: does this happen with other thumb drives? | 09:12 |
| _____zx | cheater: try ubuntuupdates.org | 09:12 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, some of the users that are in England come on soon and they are good at this stuff. :D | 09:12 |
| Starminn | histo: Nope | 09:13 |
| Davst | *sigh* | 09:13 |
| cheater | _____zx, i have tried but i didn't find any debs there, where do i go specifically? | 09:14 |
| histo | Starminn: let me check some other stuff | 09:14 |
| raj-darkmystery | urlin2u, is it possible that anyhow my raid configuration is interrupting the normal installation or functioning? | 09:14 |
| cheater | histo, i know, that is not the one i am looking for. I need the exact version. | 09:14 |
| cheater | the checksums need to match. | 09:14 |
| histo | cheater: i'm sure someone has it laying around but I don't think you're going to get much help here with installing packages from a different version of ubuntu | 09:15 |
| histo | cheater: you're just looking at creating all sorts of issues. | 09:15 |
| histo | cheater: i'd just download 5.3.2 from php.org and compile yourself | 09:15 |
| heylelshalem | hey anyone know a command to unmute a sound channel in terminal? | 09:15 |
| histo | heylelshalem: i'd use alsamixer | 09:15 |
| urlin2u | raj-darkmystery, I'm not familiar with raid, so I can't say but that along with the graphic info is important to mention so the others who help can work with that if needed, the more info about your setup the better. | 09:15 |
| cheater | histo, that is not going to be the same thing. i need the exact package archive for that exact package version. | 09:16 |
| cheater | it's not from a different version of ubuntu, it's just an older version of the package from the same version of ubuntu. you are confused. | 09:16 |
| Starminn | On Ubuntu 10.10, when my system goes into Power Save mode it becomes unresponsive. Tips? | 09:16 |
| histo | Starminn: there is a problem with your usb drive | 09:17 |
| histo | Starminn: i would fsck it | 09:17 |
| histo | Starminn: unmount it and try sudo dosfsck -a -v /dev/sdbx where x is the # of the partition on that drive | 09:18 |
| histo | Starminn: you can find out with sudo fdisk -l to see all the drives connected to your machine. | 09:18 |
| Starminn | histo: Lol, due to the meme it's become I read that second line differently at first. ;) | 09:18 |
| Starminn | histo: But alright, one moment. | 09:18 |
| histo | Starminn: it may not be /dev/sdb# could be /dev/sdc etc.... | 09:19 |
| histo | Starminn: and that's dosfsck not dofsck | 09:19 |

| marcvangend | Hi. I'd like to use Kate on Ubuntu, but apt-get tells me that it will install 188MB, mostly KDE libs. I'm wondering if it will hurt performance if I install it... | 09:23 |
| histo | Starminn: okay sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo dosfsck -a -v /dev/sdb1 | 09:25 |
| histo | marcvangend: you need the some of the KDE libs for it to run | 09:25 |
| urlin2u | marcvangend, probably not what is the cpu and you memory amount? | 09:25 |
| urlin2u | your | 09:25 |
| somsip_ | marcvangend: I had the same earlier with gedit - 88MB of libs just to run it :-/ I dislike the bloat, but what can you do, eh? | 09:26 |
| histo | somsip_: use vim | 09:26 |
| Starminn | histo: Same error (it's already unmounted) | 09:26 |
| somsip_ | histo: I do in terminal, but find working with large amounts of text easier in a GUI | 09:26 |
| histo | Starminn: did dosfsck fix anything? | 09:26 |
| histo | somsip_: there's gvim | 09:27 |
| marcvangend | histo: I have 8GB of ram, but I'm using a lot of that for virtual machines, two browsers, eclipse... | 09:27 |
| histo | marcvangend: it won't be an issue | 09:27 |
| somsip_ | histo: I know and thanks for the advice, but this is what I did today. Doesn't really help marcvangend, but there you go | 09:27 |
| Starminn | histo: That's what's failing, it would appear. Same error as the pastie I gave earlier. | 09:27 |
| histo | Starminn: oh sorry let me take a look | 09:28 |
| Starminn | histo: :) It's brief, don't worry lol. | 09:28 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 09:37 |

| pirx | hello! on some 10.04 systems i have noticed that the command 'less' actually executes bash scripts (when i am expecting to just look at them). it seems that they have to exist in some $PATH dir for that to happen, but it doesnt happen on all servers. cant find anything about it in the man page either, nor on google... has anyone noticed such a thing? | 09:37 |
| Starminn | histo: Oh, the drive is actually empty. How could I reformat it? (If you could give me a lead before you leave?) | 09:38 |
| oCean | pirx: I've never seen that. Even when the file you want to view using 'less' is not in your current directory (cwd) but in your PATH only, it still is not supposed to execute. For example, try less ls it will show an error for less, but not execute ls | 09:41 |

| oCean | pirx: weird indeed, I don't have a 10.04 to check against, but for my 11.04, I have a different LESSOPEN env variable: LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/lesspipe %s | 10:00 |
| pirx | oCean: not all 10.04 servers have this behaviour | 10:01 |
| garymc | Anyone know how I make Google Chrome the Default browser on my SERVER for all FAT clients? | 10:02 |
| pirx | and the less env variables are indeed different. will change them one by one and see if i can find the culprit | 10:02 |

| BluesKaj | bourke, /etc/init.d/networking restart | 11:13 |

| dhruvasagar | jrib: sorry I wasn't clear. Ideally I would want it for any 'window'. But if there's one specific for some video player, it would be best. Like for instance is there something like that for vlc ? | 11:55 |
| dhruvasagar | Basically so I could work and have a look at the video at the same time | 11:55 |
| jrib | dhruvasagar: you can make any window be always on top | 11:55 |
| === Guest3312 is now known as jbache | ||
| dhruvasagar | jrib: that I know, but i'll have to resize and then place it somewhere on the screen and then set it to be always on top, isn't there something that can just do that ? | 11:56 |
| jrib | dhruvasagar: meh you can do that with any window. But here's what you could do with mplayer for example: mplayer -ontop -geometry 100%:100% | 11:56 |
| dhruvasagar | jrib: 100%:100%? what would that do ? | 11:57 |
| jrib | dhruvasagar: puts the window in the bottom left corner | 11:57 |
| bastidrazor | dhruvasagar: you should also be able to alt+right click > always on top | 11:57 |
| jrib | dhruvasagar: bottom right i mean | 11:57 |
| dhruvasagar | jrib: but what about the window size ? | 11:58 |

| jrib | dpac: configure in ~/.ssh/config, see man ssh_config | 12:00 |
| dhruvasagar | astropirate: as jrib said. You can do redis-server &2>/dev/null I think | 12:00 |

| astropirate | *thanks | 12:02 |
| astropirate | no | 12:02 |
| jrib | astropirate: but you want to manually start it by logging in and typing a command? | 12:02 |
| dhruvasagar | astropirate: then you should use nohup | 12:02 |
| astropirate | hmm i want it to stay running even if i'm not SSHed in | 12:03 |
| astropirate | i'm trying to figure out how to make it auto start on system reboot | 12:03 |
| astropirate | but its a VPS | 12:03 |
| astropirate | and odn' thave access to the startup process file | 12:03 |
| jrib | astropirate: that's fine and you can use either type "disown" at the end of your command, use nohup as dhruvasagar suggests, use tmux, or use screen. But usually people just have these processes start at boot | 12:03 |
| astropirate | but I haven't had to reboot yet so thats not an issue yet | 12:03 |
| dhruvasagar | astropirate: for autostart on system reboot, you can use cron. for ensuring it is still running when you quit ssh, use nohup before your command. | 12:04 |
| Younder | astropirate, You need so has a static server and you need public key certification tu run a ssh tunnel that runs at startup | 12:05 |

| Younder | jdw_: This is probably a PATH issue. The new one may have gone by default to /usr/local/bin, and probably you are getting the original version in /usr/bin. You might want to uninstall the original (aptitude remove openssl); if that breaks stuff, re-make the new openssl with more conventional paths. | 12:25 |
| quizmasterash | damn! Gwibber... | 12:25 |
| jdw_ | Younder, I haven't even been able to install openssl 1. I can't get it to show up as an option with this PPA although it purports to be in the PPA | 12:26 |

| erik1984 | solver: you're welcome. I can Imagine Unity is a bit confusing at first. | 13:37 |

| impi | DangerOnTheRangr, thanks, i might, man, i never store passwords and always clear my browser cache, cause im a web dev..so then i have to keep track of 1 gazillion usernames / emails / passwords. thanks for the advice | 13:53 |
| sipior | impi: have a look at lastpass.com | 13:53 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | impi: There are a bunch of programs that keep track of passwords for you | 13:53 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | sipior: I was going to suggest a desktop-side password tracker | 13:53 |
| nullisnil | sipior, saving usernames and passwords in the "cloud" are you really sure? | 13:54 |

| NoobyMcNoobins | Hi guys, I have a question I asked in beginner but got no reply | 13:56 |
| NoobyMcNoobins | It's pretty nooby | 13:56 |
| NoobyMcNoobins | I'm trying to save a script in /user/sbin but I don't have permission | 13:57 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | NoobyMcNoobins: Use sudo | 13:57 |
| zykotick9_ | NoobyMcNoobins, it's /usr/sbin - and technically you probably shoudn't be putting stuff in there | 13:58 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | NoobyMcNoobins: I agree - why not put your scripts in ~/bin? | 13:58 |
| NoobyMcNoobins | So from gedit, save to a generic location then sudo mv? | 13:58 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | NoobyMcNoobins: Yes, that would work | 13:58 |
| NoobyMcNoobins | Ok | 13:59 |
| NoobyMcNoobins | it was sbin because i'm copying it from http://blog.fejes.ca/?p=510 | 13:59 |

| rblst | nsq: i mean, the plugin to use flash in your browser | 14:03 |
| nsq | rblst: yes, adobe tells me "You have version 10,3,183,7 installed" | 14:04 |
| nullisnil | NoobyMcNoobins, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro whats your Hardware ID number? | 14:04 |
| erik1984 | nsq: you might try the firefox-addon flashaid. It installs the latest Flash plugin for you. | 14:04 |
| rblst | nsq: is 3D acceleration on or off in your adobe flash settings? | 14:05 |
| nsq | rblst: hardware acceleration is on | 14:05 |
| nsq | erik1984: i already have the latest flash version in my firefox | 14:05 |
| zykotick9_ | rblst, nsq i was under the impression 3d flash acceleration doesn't work on gnu/linux? | 14:06 |
| zykotick9_ | nsq, version 10 isn't really the newest version - i use the native 64bit version 11 | 14:06 |
| NoobyMcNoobins | nullisnil: 7,1 | 14:07 |
| rblst | zykotick9, nsq: i am sorry, it is indeed called hardware acceleration, my mistake | 14:07 |
| nsq | zykotick9_: i have 32bit, and http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ is telling me, "10.3.183.7" is the latest version? | 14:07 |
| rblst | nsq: have you tried to switch it off? | 14:07 |
| erik1984 | I think Adobe doesn't care much for Flash on Linux. | 14:07 |
| nsq | rblst: yes, its the same with hardware acceleration off | 14:08 |
| zykotick9_ | erik1984, correct - it's always been poor on GNU/Linux | 14:08 |
| auronandace | zykotick9_: flash 11 is in beta isn't it? | 14:08 |
| nsq | rblst: with hardware acceleration off, its even worse | 14:08 |
| NoobyMcNoobins | actually I should restart after the sys updates | 14:08 |
| NoobyMcNoobins | ill be back if i still have the issue | 14:08 |
| NoobyMcNoobins | thanks for the help nullisnil ^^ | 14:08 |
| nsq | but my 2.3ghz i5 and my geforce 425m is more then enough to run flash :/ .. it worked fine in windows | 14:09 |
| rblst | zykotick9_, erik1984: but in my experience, alternative flash plugins are even worse | 14:09 |
| zykotick9_ | auronandace, for 64bit it's working... and that's what flashplugin-nonfree installs on Debian (I don't understand why that's not happening on Ubuntu?!) - but yes, i think your right | 14:09 |
| zykotick9_ | rblst, gnash doesn't even come close to adobe's compatibility | 14:09 |
| mbeierl | anyone else have massive display problems running vmware player under unity? | 14:09 |
| erik1984 | nsq: That's what I'm saying Adobe does more effort to get Flash working in Windows. | 14:10 |
| mbeierl | I'd like to google for problems, but unity is such an overloaded term when it comes to Ubuntu vs. VMware :) | 14:10 |
| zykotick9_ | mbeierl, why use VMWare (proprietary / closed source software) when there are better Open Source alternatives (/msg ubottu vbox) available? Good luck. | 14:13 |
| Joric | what are you doing with us, mark?? | 14:13 |
| nsq | zykotick9_: vmware has afaik better 3d support. | 14:14 |
| zykotick9_ | nsq, you must be kidding | 14:14 |
| mbeierl | zykotick9_: because I already have the images set up for vmware. I also use vmware workstation which has far superior cloning operations to vbox. | 14:14 |
| Joric | I installed 11.04 and I think I vomited | 14:14 |

| martian | Is there a way to alias one dns for another, so I could have my client system recognize 'home' to be the same as 'blahblah.dyndns.org'? | 14:17 |
| somsip_ | martian: add an entry to /etc/hosts | 14:18 |
| martian | If I were to simply set up a /etc/hosts entry, that would just point to a specific IP though, right? | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | martian, do you have the dns nameserver settings in /etc/resolv.conf ? | 14:18 |
| jrib | martian: what client? | 14:18 |
| in0cula | i have a switchabe graphic card (ATI 5470 + Intel) i installed the catalyst driver, and seems to work, but in some occasions the server x crash and restart, where can i find the log? thank you | 14:19 |
| martian | jrib: I'm on 11.04. For example, it would be nice to simply "ssh home" from the cl | 14:19 |
| martian | BluesKaj: I don't really know much about the magic that happens in resolv.conf. Perhaps it's time to learn? | 14:19 |
| somsip_ | martian: you want to be able to ssh to your machine from any other client? | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | martian, that depends on whether you use network manager or not ... I'm sure NM can be setup not to overwrite the namserver stting resolv.conf , but i haven't looked into that | 14:21 |
| martian | somsip_: I have a dyndns set up which works fine. I can ssh to my home system at ease. I just thought it would be _nice_ to be able to alias a longer dns to a shorter one | 14:22 |
| zaya | martian: I came across something like that but I have to find where, it saves your login passcode and such but you need to set it up on both ends for that. It was an advanced security login for ssh | 14:23 |
| somsip_ | martian: you want to be able to type 'ssh home' at any other client instead of (say) 'ssh home.mydyndns.org'? | 14:23 |
| martian | somsip_: right, but if I simply alias 'home' to my actual home IP in hosts, it won't work if my home IP changes | 14:24 |
| martian | so it's almost like I would want something in the guttyworks to sed 'home' for 'blah.dyndns.org' | 14:25 |
| martian | Maybe not possible. Just a curiosity; seemed slow in here so thought it would be a good time to ask ;) | 14:26 |
| somsip_ | martian: well, i'd just go with a bash alias... | 14:26 |
| lagrande | is the "advanced installer" (alt iso) included on the standard iso? | 14:26 |

| BarkingFish | Afternoon guys, apologies for cross posting, it looks like #kubuntu is pretty much asleep or all at work at the moment. | 14:27 |
| martian | somsip_: yeah, but then other services (http, mail, etc) wouldn't work... ya know, I suppose the simplest solution would be to just set up a hosts entry and just deal with the IP change every few months :) | 14:27 |

| somsip_ | martian: indeed. Anyway - I hope it helps | 14:42 |
| martian | So, unrelated to my previous question: I have a remote system mounted via sshfs, and on that remote system I have a symlink for /var/www in my home directory called www. The problem is that when I navigate that filesystem from this remote system, the www symlink points to my local /var/www | 14:44 |
| somsip_ | RussW: in the xth month of 2012 | 14:44 |
| beatbreaker | jewBUnti | 14:45 |
| somsip_ | martian: would a hard link instead of a ln -s make any difference? | 14:46 |
| martian | somsip_: well, I guess this is one of those things that in my few years of being a mediocre linux user I have always just accepted and moved past: whenever I try to hard link a directory, I am told "ln: `/var/www': hard link not allowed for directory" | 14:47 |
| somsip_ | martian: can't say I've used them myself, but I get the feeling there might be some advantage in this situation. Maybe worthy of more research? | 14:48 |

| william_ | <--running ubuntu 10.10 on an old eMachine desktop | 15:28 |
| SNSK | rblst, see i have same problem as you, my network manager shows me no connections, even though i can surf | 15:29 |
| william_ | bought a VisionTek card that is open cl capable..100Gflops | 15:29 |
| rblst | SNKS, what i do not understand is what is changed so that NetworkManager/ModemManager fails to use my modem | 15:29 |
| chamunks | william_, thanks for the ideas, I wonder what direction that I should start myself off in. :S | 15:30 |
| william_ | if you go to oracles site..and log in..they have a chat window for their gurus | 15:30 |
| chamunks | william_, my issue is that I'm not even running openindiana/solaris | 15:30 |
| rblst | SNSK, i checked syslog and usb_modeswitch does its thing but then modem manager remains dead silent when it should come in and do its thing | 15:30 |
| william_ | don't use nexenta..it messed with my dqrd drive | 15:30 |
| chamunks | william_, its a freenas box do you think they would still support freenas's ZFS stack? | 15:30 |
| SNSK | rblst, i cannot understand that | 15:31 |
| user12345 | hello how to remove GFCE ultra NES emulator .im using sudo apt-get remove .......... how | 15:31 |
| william_ | use a seperate workstation..or laptop with zfs..see if you can access the "megafiles" with it | 15:31 |
| user12345 | hello how to remove GFCE ultra NES emulator .im using sudo apt-get remove .......... how | 15:32 |
| rblst | SNKS, i have been searching the web far and wide, but couldn't really find anything useful | 15:32 |
| olive_ | hi | 15:32 |
| william_ | user12345...google "GFCE ultra NES " and "remove" | 15:32 |
| Pici | !google | william_ | 15:32 |
| ubottu | william_: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 15:32 |
| SNSK | rblst, same here, i am dying to use evoluytion back | 15:32 |
| SNSK | rblst, | 15:33 |
| dr_willis | user12345: you need to determine its package name and use that, | 15:33 |
| william_ | ok met the head butthead | 15:33 |
| dr_willis | !find gfce | 15:33 |
| SNSK | rblst, i use 11.04 you ? | 15:33 |
| ubottu | Found: gfceu | 15:33 |
| william_ | <--pay me first before you tell me not to try and help people | 15:33 |
| dr_willis | !info gfce | 15:33 |
| ubottu | Package gfce does not exist in natty | 15:33 |
| user12345 | dr_willis:how to determine | 15:33 |
| rblst | SNSK, something must be blocking NetworkManager, i just can't find what is | 15:33 |
| dumbledore | I need live computer stats, CPU temperature being the most important piece of information, what can I use to get that? | 15:34 |
| Pici | william_: Theres no need for namecalling here. Please adhere to our channel guidelines and everything will be okay. | 15:34 |
| dr_willis | user12345: apt-cache search pattern and imn betting its 'gfceu' | 15:34 |
| Pici | !guidelines > william_ | 15:34 |
| ubottu | william_, please see my private message | 15:34 |
| rblst | SNSK, i am using 11.04, too; but i had the same problem with older distros as well | 15:34 |
| Polah | I just reinstalled from the minimal ISO and cannot access my system without the USB drive with the minimal ISO on plugged in. Attempting to boot with it not plugged in gives me a blink underscore and nothing else, I cannot access GRUB and press ctrl+alt+delete reboots my computer so I assume it's part of my BIOS attempting to pass over the operating system. Attempting to boot with my USB drive plugged in does not boot the minimal installer as | 15:34 |
| SNSK | but atleast you can connect to net | 15:34 |
| william_ | okokok..at least you guys run off the "ladybots".. | 15:34 |
| william_ | <--microwave test engineer..not a network enginee | 15:34 |
| dumbledore | Polah: did you accidentally install GRUB in the USB stick? | 15:35 |
| Jordan_U | Polah: Boot into Ubuntu, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". | 15:35 |
| sipior | chamunks: sorry for butting in, but if you need zfs access from linux, you might find this interesting: http://zfsonlinux.org/ | 15:35 |
| sipior | chamunks: supports pool version 28 in the latest release. | 15:35 |
| chamunks | sipior, and here I've been using freenas like a dummy. | 15:36 |
| Jordan_U | Polah: What version of Ubuntu? | 15:36 |
| chamunks | sipior, I really want file deduplication ... | 15:36 |
| Polah | Jordan_U: 11.04 | 15:36 |
| dumbledore | need live computer stats (e.g. CPU temperature), what software can give me that? | 15:36 |
| sipior | chamunks: well, freenas is perfectly fine, of course. but this zfs implementation does support deduplication. | 15:36 |
| chamunks | sipior, I've been loving my freenas experience especially because of its single page conf and simple access to being able to create iscsi targets | 15:36 |
| dr_willis | !sensors | 15:36 |
| ubottu | To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 15:36 |
| SIFTU | sipior: do not use dedup on zfs unless you know what you are doing | 15:37 |
| chamunks | sipior, yeah the zfs in freenas is much older. | 15:37 |
| dumbledore | ubottu: okay, thanks. :) | 15:37 |
| ubottu | dumbledore: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:37 |
| chamunks | SIFTU, why do you say that? | 15:37 |
| sipior | SIFTU: fortunately, i do. | 15:37 |
| SNSK | rblst, let's see if we can get any help here | 15:37 |
| Jordan_U | Polah: Very odd. Could you file a bug report about this? | 15:37 |
| dumbledore | oh :P, dr_willis: thanks :) | 15:37 |
| SIFTU | chamunks: you could have huge performance problems if you run out of RAM | 15:37 |
| Polah | dumbledore: It could be, but the installer mentioned installing to my first drive, the one I installed Ubuntu on. | 15:38 |
| user12345 | apt-cache search patternok i will try it dr_willis | 15:38 |
| user12345 | tq | 15:38 |
| chamunks | SIFTU, ahh I've heard you need about a gig of ram per terabyte which would be an issue in my situation but I'm not exactly running a FTP server | 15:38 |
| SIFTU | chamunks: as it has to fit an index of all the blocks in RAM.. if you swap off to disk it will be very very slow | 15:38 |
| dr_willis | !info gfceu | user12345 | 15:38 |
| ubottu | user12345: gfceu (source: gfceu): Graphical front-end using GTK2 for the FCE Ultra NES emulator. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.1-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 30 kB, installed size 168 kB | 15:38 |
| giggles | anyone else running 10.10 on an aspire one and getting KP's | 15:38 |
| === MortenTemp is now known as Morten_ | ||
| chamunks | SIFTU, I also have a OCZ throttle (a ssd usb key/esata key) I could swap off of. | 15:38 |
| chamunks | SIFTU, which would absorb quite a bit of this issue you bring to light. | 15:39 |
| SIFTU | chamunks: yeah you could use that as a lc2arc or zil | 15:39 |
| chamunks | SIFTU, pardon my ignorance to zfs terminology. | 15:39 |
| Jordan_U | Polah: Running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and selecting your internal drive (*not* any partition) as an install device when prompted will fix this permanently. | 15:39 |
| chamunks | SIFTU, lx2arc / zil? | 15:39 |
| william_ | 10.10 on laptops is flaky...but does work..the ndiswrapper program can be a pain to loadintoa newer partition | 15:39 |
| SIFTU | chamunks: but it doesnt fix it.. I'm just saying be very careful. Most SUN engineers I have talked to say dont use it unless you know you have very duplicated data | 15:39 |
| william_ | <--headin' for pizza | 15:40 |
| giggles | i got full hardware william_ | 15:40 |
| chamunks | SIFTU, I just know that there is alot of duplicate files on my server and I know that it would benefit from being deduped. | 15:40 |
| SIFTU | chamunks: zil is a wite cache using ssd, l2arc is a read cache using ssds | 15:40 |
| Polah | Jordan_U: Yes, I will try reinstalling GRUB in a moment | 15:40 |
| william_ | 64 or 32 bit ware giggles? | 15:40 |
| giggles | 32 | 15:41 |
| chamunks | sipior, would you know how I could reconfigure my pool for faster filetransfers to the pool from other network devices? | 15:41 |
| giggles | the kp's seem to be heat related though ... i cant put my finger on it yet though | 15:41 |
| SIFTU | chamunks: what type of files are they? can they be compressed with the inline filesystem compression? I would try that first | 15:41 |
| william_ | then if you need to recompile...should be copacetic on most code...what issues you having? | 15:41 |
| chamunks | SIFTU, alot of it is already compessed archival files to begin with. | 15:41 |
| SIFTU | chamunks: ah ok. | 15:42 |
| giggles | william_, i'll find the last crash log | 15:42 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest56792 | ||
| SIFTU | chamunks: zfs dedup is inline which means it has to look up the index whenever there is a write, it can cause big problems.. other verndors like netapp etc do dedup after the writes.. so the initial write is not slowed | 15:43 |
| william_ | you just have one 10.10 ubuntu system...or is there a second...I did a USB boot drive..and used it on both my 64 bit and 32 bit systems | 15:43 |
| ComradeHaz` | Paganini: you're welcome ;) | 15:43 |
| sipior | chamunks: zfs performance tweaking isn't something i know a great deal about, i'm afraid. SIFTU might have some ideas in that regard, though. you'll probably want to move to #ubuntu-offtopic, though, as this is a bit far afield for this channel :-) | 15:44 |
| chamunks | SIFTU, that could show benefits and caveats if you're concerned about space over speed and visa versa | 15:44 |
| Paganini | hi I've just installed ubuntu for the first time and using the package manager have installed Samba 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 (system-config-samba), but I'm unsure how to configure this to view my windows folder, any starter help would be appreciated :) | 15:44 |
| giggles | william_, i have os9, osx, and 4 ubuntu 10.x machines | 15:44 |
| SIFTU | chamunks: very much so.. but I have seen dedup on zfs make the filesystem hang for 30+ seconds | 15:44 |
| chamunks | sipior, this is true | 15:44 |
| SIFTU | chamunks: pm me if you want to know more | 15:45 |
| chamunks | SIFTU, want to pm me or #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:45 |
| chamunks | ok | 15:45 |
| william_ | and you are having hardware issues with a new machine on ubuntu..not any other os? | 15:45 |
| giggles | yep .. i even got osx on to this little aspire one | 15:46 |
| giggles | but it ran like crap because of the video hardware | 15:46 |
| subterfuge | If /boot is installed on USB stick are there any issues with removing the drive after the system is up? | 15:46 |
| jarnos | Is there any support for dead slow X of Natty? | 15:46 |
| gentoo-intel | subterfuge, shouldnt be | 15:47 |
| subterfuge | gentoo-intel: thanks, do you know if /boot is ever accessed for any reason after the system is up and running? such as during updates? | 15:48 |
| gentoo-intel | subterfuge, kernel updates | 15:48 |
| subterfuge | gentoo-intel: so /boot should be remounted before any updates | 15:49 |
| gentoo-intel | subterfuge, but other than that its fine. a lot of people have /boot on seperate partition and unmount it anyway | 15:49 |
| gentoo-intel | subterfuge, you can do, but if its needed the updates will prob fail anyway it shouldnt break anything | 15:49 |
| giggles | hmmm odd ... i cant find any mention of the KP | 15:50 |
| mah454 | hello ... | 15:50 |
| mah454 | How can i fix this problem ? : http://pastebin.com/XY1hZULK | 15:50 |
| subterfuge | gentoo-intel: can't thank you enough for your time, I had googled but was unclear as to where I stood... Have a great day | 15:50 |
| hmekh | when i boot a laptop with the 11.04 cd, the touchpad acts weird: the pointer jiggles around if i'm touching the touchpad. this doesn't happen in windows xp. what's the difference? | 15:51 |

| ComradeHaz` | Hi all, anyone know what might be causing my samba share for my home dir to be limited to one client at a time? | 15:54 |
| dori922 | if a client losses they're computer(hdd dies or w/e) and they have stored data on an sftp with rsa authentication, can they're stored data still be accessed without their .priv key? *still doesnt understand RSA* | 15:54 |
| nuclearworm | hello , anyone knows if is there an userscripts channel? | 15:55 |
| hmekh | qin: pressing either button doesn't stop it. tapping the touchpad makes the pointer freeze for a moment, but then once it goes back to normal, the jiggling resumes | 15:55 |
| qin | dori922: "they're" ? | 15:56 |
| qin | hmekh: It is propably bug, you updated? | 15:56 |
| hmekh | i downloaded it two days ago, so it must be updated | 15:56 |
| giggles | dori922, yes you can ... the sftp will fall back to a password in the absence of rsa keys | 15:56 |
| dori922 | *their | 15:56 |
| dori922 | giggles: ah :P thanks | 15:57 |
| giggles | no problem .. i had the same problem with my server when i redid my phone | 15:57 |
| laanan | hi, looking to see if anyone knows how to fix a suspend/resume issue on acer one 721...I am using joli os which is based on ubuntu remix... | 15:58 |
| dlyneswork | Is 'xv' available for ubuntu? If so, what package do I need to install to get it? | 15:58 |
| dlyneswork | I can't seem to find it using apt-file search | 15:58 |
| giggles | laanan, does it sleep when you unplug it? | 15:58 |
| laanan | I think no | 15:59 |
| A_J | hey all, quick question. How to i Restart Windows X | 15:59 |
| dori922 | giggles: doesnt that remove the reason for RSA keys though? (to increase security by removing passwords) | 15:59 |
| dlyneswork | nuclearworm, userscripts for what application? | 15:59 |
| qin | hmekh: "jumpy cursor" gave 3 different bug in 3 top search results, what is your machine? | 15:59 |
| mbeierl | A_J: "Windows" X? you mean just the X server? "sudo service gdm restart" should do it | 15:59 |
| laanan | giggles, I have been trying to figure out how to get into the bios, since some people have had success with disabling usb legacy... | 16:00 |
| qin | !synapticks | hmekh | 16:00 |
| dlyneswork | dori922, no...the client falls back to using clear text passwords, not the server | 16:00 |
| giggles | dori922, it's more a convience from what i've read .... nothing for people to forget | 16:00 |
| nuclearworm | dlyneswork , thanks already got it was searching for greasemonkey | 16:00 |
| giggles | laanan, f2 at boot | 16:00 |
| hmekh | !synaptics | hmekh | 16:00 |
| ubottu | hmekh, please see my private message | 16:00 |
| laanan | tried it | 16:00 |
| qin | hmekh: right ;) | 16:00 |
| laanan | I will try again....any other 'fixes' out there? | 16:00 |
| A_J | mbeierl: thank you | 16:01 |
| mbeierl | dori922: unless the files were encrypted with the key, the files should still be accessible to the system administrator of the sftp server, regardless of the authentication algorithm... | 16:01 |
| Pumpkin- | dlyneswork: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ should help. | 16:01 |
| sipior | dlyneswork: xv is quite old…probably best to look at other options. plus, i think the author may still charge for it? hard to believe, but... | 16:01 |
| Pumpkin- | but I've no idea what xv is | 16:02 |
| giggles | mbeierl, thank you for the better answer .. :) mine was quite underinformed | 16:02 |
| haccker | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop will get rid of unity and install xfce? | 16:02 |
| hmekh | qin: link your search? | 16:02 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, yeah...it's just my favorite image indexer...is there another tool that does a similar job, and that's fairly lightweight? | 16:02 |
| xangua | haccker: no, just install xfce | 16:02 |
| sipior | Pumpkin-: a very old image display and manipulation program. i imagine the gimp beats in just about every way nowadays, but it was quite popular in the 90's. | 16:02 |
| haccker | xangua: it will load xfce by default right? | 16:03 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, I just want to generate some thumbnails of images in certain directories, and find the image sizes, so that I can determine what images suit my purposes for a given project | 16:03 |
| xangua | haccker: select what you want from your login screen | 16:03 |
| sipior | dlyneswork: ImageMagick sounds like a good fit. or the GIMP. | 16:03 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, and I dont' want to create an album in the process | 16:03 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, ImageMagick has a standalone viewer? | 16:04 |
| dr_willis | kde at one time had a feature to make html/image thumbnail pages.. :) not seen that feature in ages... heh. | 16:04 |
| sipior | dlyneswork: it does, yep. | 16:04 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, Gimp has something similar with a plugin, but I couldn't view multiple thumbnails at once | 16:04 |
| dori922 | thanks all :P just another quick q. i selected samba server when i was installing my Ubuntu server, do i need to do other configureation? (i have a few samba guides to follow already just not sure which point the pre-installed samba is at) | 16:05 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, what's the tool called from imagemagick, then? | 16:05 |
| qin | hmekh: http://goo.gl/Ofaa4 and http://goo.gl/AdQRY | 16:05 |
| sipior | dlyneswork: the display tool is just "display". there's an entire set, but the most useful are probably "convert", "identify" and "display". | 16:06 |
| Pumpkin- | some googling turned up how to build it from source, but ugh. http://www.ulich.org/hints/xv_ubuntu.html. Couple of years out of date, hopefully will still work for you. YMMV etc. | 16:06 |
| hmekh | thanks | 16:06 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, thanks | 16:07 |
| nuclearworm | anyone uses google enhanced black script for greasemonkey? do you started to have a problem with the color of the searched words? i mean if the searched word are black as the background and one cannot see them? | 16:08 |
| dlyneswork | Pumpkin-, thanks....seems imagemagick doesn't do thumbnail previews of multiple images at once | 16:09 |
| mbeierl | giggles: np. I thought he might need to be re-assured that regardless, the file content was still there even if the RSA key was a hard requirement at the sftp server :) | 16:09 |
| rumpe1 | dlyneswork, sure it does http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/ | 16:10 |
| sipior | dlyneswork: you know, if you're just looking for thumbnail previews, the nautilus file browser does that just fine. | 16:10 |
| sipior | dlyneswork: nautilus can also hook-in scripts, so you might be able to bend it to your needs. | 16:11 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, yeah, but it's a huge heavy beast | 16:11 |
| Pumpkin- | yeah, and more goolging suggets it was at least once shareware (but that page is from 1999). So check the license in the sources. | 16:11 |
| dlyneswork | Pumpkin-, yeah, it was shareware | 16:11 |
| sipior | dlyneswork: heavy beast? is that modern speak for "i don't like using it"? :-) | 16:11 |
| sipior | dlyneswork: i mean, you're probably not using this on a computer from 1998, so heavy is a bit of a relative concept. | 16:12 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, I'm already low on memory...If I had to use nautilus or evolution, I couldn't do my job | 16:13 |
| samuel | hello guys | 16:13 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, Our application that we're developing uses 3.2GB's of RAM, so I've got about 200MB's free to run eclipse | 16:13 |
| samuel | I am trying to run two commands from one .desktop file | 16:14 |
| sipior | dlyneswork: well, fair enough. | 16:14 |
| samuel | simply: sleep 10; firefox | 16:14 |
| samuel | but it does not seem to run | 16:14 |
| dlyneswork | sipior, and it's way too much work to port the app to 64-bit at the moment | 16:14 |
| Bogus8 | Hey, I got a problem with a soft Raid 5, I lost a drive and now it just shows the remaining 3 (of 4) drives as "spares" in /proc/mdstat. How can I make this raid active again? | 16:16 |
| dlyneswork | Pumpkin-, thanks muchly...I haven't been able to find anything quite as useful as the visual schnauzer anywhere else :0 | 16:16 |
| misaq | Bogus8: do you mean you lost one partition? | 16:16 |
| Bogus8 | misaq: nope... whole drive is dead, doesn't even show in bios. | 16:17 |
| JamesMR | http://paste.ubuntu.com/688434/ Is there any easy solution to that? | 16:17 |
| misaq | Bogus8: that's bad. I one had a research on RAID in university. but I don't know much of soft RAID | 16:17 |
| Bogus8 | misaq: well, this is what the raid 5 is for. If one drive goes down then I should be able to keep rolling. But the whole system froze and then when I finally got it back up the raid isn't assembled any longer. | 16:18 |
| misaq | Bogus8: do you use ubuntu? | 16:19 |
| Bogus8 | misaq: yep, ubuntu server... I forget the version... might be 8 or 9 | 16:20 |
| sipior | Bogus8: can you pastebin the output of mdadm -D? | 16:20 |
| Bogus8 | sure | 16:20 |
| dname | Hello. Such is the problem. When you download the file to your computer, changes the size of the file. Proftpd server. Filezilla client. In what may be the problem? | 16:21 |
| Bogus8 | sipior: No pastebin needed... "mdadm: md device /dev/md0 does not appear to be active." | 16:21 |
| sipior | Bogus8: and mdadm -q? | 16:21 |
| dname | File with the extension *. bat | 16:21 |
| misaq | Bogus8: I think you can go through the reinstallation with the setup disk until you come to the stage of partitioning. maybe you can repair your raid there. do you think this will be good? | 16:22 |
| sipior | Bogus8: sorry, -Q | 16:22 |
| Bogus8 | sipior: basically the same. | 16:22 |
| Bogus8 | hold | 16:22 |
| Bogus8 | sipior: same | 16:22 |
| sipior | Bogus8: and what error do you get when you try to assemble it? | 16:23 |
| Bogus8 | sipior: here is my cat /proc/mdstat http://pastebin.com/xPrzLxF4 | 16:23 |
| Bogus8 | sipior: let me double check... I walked away from it in frustration the other day. | 16:23 |
| dname | Nobody encountered this problem? | 16:25 |
| === lol is now known as Lehrling | ||
| Bogus8 | sipior: sorry phone call | 16:26 |
| dr_willis | dname: it could be converting cr/lf to just cr | 16:26 |
| sipior | Bogus8: no worries. | 16:26 |
| dr_willis | dname: ie: not using binary mode, but text mode, | 16:26 |
| dr_willis | dname: one of the many reasons that ftp should die. :) | 16:27 |
| Bogus8 | sipior: it's not finding any configurations for it... even though it's in mdadm.conf | 16:27 |
| Bogus8 | I'll pastebin that | 16:27 |
| dname | dr_willis and then how to solve this problem? :) | 16:27 |

| Houdini | do you know any other ways to reboot computer (I know about reboot, restart commands)? | 16:32 |
| dr_willis | stmaher: you set them up in gparted, then rebooted? sometimes it takes a reboot for the kernel to see the changes | 16:32 |

| Escherial | hey, are there any alternatives to unity that still provide the same amount of vertical space? i love the fact that i only have one menu bar rather than two bars, but the rest of it is a little difficult to use and occasionally buggy | 16:33 |
| Escherial | also, something that'll solve this issue with popup information panels (especially in eclipse) extending into the "dead space" under my primary monitor and across monitor boundaries would be nice | 16:34 |
| dr_willis | Escherial: theres global menu packages that do that menu in the main bar feature. | 16:34 |
| dr_willis | Escherial: but ive not used them in ages.. personally i dont like the global menu | 16:35 |
| Escherial | dr_willis: you're referring to packages for specific programs that allow them to use the global menu bar for unity? | 16:35 |
| Escherial | yeah, the global menu is odd, but the savings on screen real estate are significant... | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | there were tools that did the same thing as the global menu befor unity even came out | 16:35 |
| Escherial | ah, i see | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | Escherial: not for me. :) i always fullscreen my apps anyway | 16:35 |
| Calinou | lol fullscreen | 16:36 |
| dname | dr_willis Solved the problem of an easy way:) changed my ftp client. | 16:36 |
| === muneeb is now known as Guest81690 | ||
| Calinou | maximizing is okay, fullscreening not for linux | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | there were at one time some addons for the panel that gave you a title bar, controls, and a menu in the panel. | 16:36 |
| Calinou | fullscreening is linuxian's best enemy, especially for games | 16:36 |
| Calinou | you can't even alt tab :/ | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | Calinou: cant say ive ever noticed the problem. :) | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | then again. i cant recall the last game i played in linux other then zsnes. | 16:37 |
| Bogus8 | sipior: sorry a customer came in. I didn't have a chance. It locked the entire system up and what you see is what I got when I finally got it to come back. | 16:37 |

| Bogus8 | sipior: It would take forver to boot and I finally pulled it out of fstab and commented it out of mdadm.conf for it to work. Since then I've added them back to mdadm.conf but not fstab since the device isn't coming up anyway. | 16:38 |

| sipior | Bogus8: i didn't see an array listing in the mdadm.conf you pasted, actually. if you specify the component devices with --assemble, does it at least construct the array? | 16:39 |
| Bogus8 | sipior: let me try... this mdadm stuff gets so fuzzy because I don't use it very often (only when building a new server or when something breaks) :( | 16:40 |

| ModusPwnens | Can anyone help me migrate from wubi? I started using it originally and now I've installed too much software and need more space. I figure its probably easiest to move away from wubi and get an actual partition | 16:49 |

| mexia | ok so about the dock can i do something sbout thts | 16:50 |
| mexia | it apears always i go to the preferences | 16:50 |
| sipior | Bogus8: hmm. alright, time to use the --force option to get it running. | 16:50 |

| ni1s | mexia, I'm still not seeing it.. | 16:50 |
| genii-around | iam: Yes, thats fine | 16:50 |
| mexia | the dark spot near the dock | 16:51 |
| stmaher | Im guessing this might be a bug at install time | 16:51 |
| erik1984 | nils: I think he means that black space left of the dock | 16:51 |
| sipior | Bogus8: it should only need to be assembled for that information; not sure why it won't query properly. | 16:51 |
| iam | genii-around, the chown command will change the group of every file/dir. and I have some dirs there with other groups. then is it ok to execute that command? | 16:51 |
| mexia | thats not from the bar it apears when i open preferences and only disappear when u change user | 16:51 |
| Bogus8 | sipior: it assembled | 16:51 |

| iam | genii-around, then what should I do? | 16:52 |
| sipior | Bogus8: okay, now (crossing fingers), see if --query see the devices. then fail out the bad one (-f) and remove it (-r) | 16:52 |

| apus | glebihan: is not for me ... someone has a wrong configuration, but didn't set up the system herself ... i use gentoo ... no idea how to remove it from autostart | 17:23 |
| recon69_lap | apus , have you tried 'sudo ufw disable' | 17:24 |
| tvaldes | I need help with fstab (I believe). There are 3 drives that I swap in and out of a swap drive bay. I would set it up to auto mount sda1 or sdb1... but it's not always the same for some reason (I believe due to a new raid controller). So I have 3 seperate lines mounting the UUID's to the same point. The problem is if the first one isn't present, it gives an error on boot nad never mounts. If I sudo mount -a, it works but shows an erro | 17:24 |
| apus | recon69_lap: okay that will disable it but i guess not remove it from boot runlevels ... ? | 17:24 |

| ubottu | 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 | 17:24 |

| ubottu | Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 17:26 |
| glebihan | apus, I don't how it not being your system changes anything, but anyway there's no clean way to remove it without uninstalling (you could move the /etc/init/ufw file to a /etc/init/disbaled folder) | 17:26 |
| theadmin | d8bhatta: Fine, killall -s 9 skype | 17:26 |
| apus | glebihan: how about this update-rc.d ? | 17:27 |
| ooxi | hi is there a way to tell the ubuntu server to install a minimal distribution? i did not select any of the services in the last prompt, but the base install is like 1,2gib | 17:27 |
| glebihan | apus, that won't work as ufw init scripts work with upstart and not sysVinit | 17:27 |
| theadmin | ooxi: That's quite small... Go install Arch :P | 17:28 |
| d8bhatta | theadmin: yes it worked..what does that -s 9 do in the command? | 17:28 |
| apus | glebihan: ah okay ... then removing it? | 17:28 |
| theadmin | d8bhatta: SIGKILL | 17:28 |
| cheater | using 9 is lame | 17:28 |
| apus | apt-get remove ufw? | 17:28 |
| cheater | you should use 15, wait a few moments, if that doesn't work use 2, then 1 | 17:28 |
| d8bhatta | theadmin: thanks... | 17:29 |
| cheater | then don't use 9, just remove the software from your hard disk | 17:29 |
| glebihan | apus, to me the best way is to remove it, if you don't want to you could move the /etc/init/ufw file as I suggested in my previous post | 17:29 |
| ooxi | theadmin, hehe. its really not much but i want to run it as vm on my netbook where hard disk space is very limited. moreover i like the ubuntu sudo way instead of the debian root way (i know i can configure it but why, ubuntu has it as default) | 17:29 |
| cheater | because it is too broken to be running on a computer | 17:29 |
| apus | glebihan: could you please confirm, that sudo apt-get remove ufw is correct? | 17:30 |
| glebihan | apus, it is | 17:30 |

| BrianOfTacoma | And where could I find a good description of how to craft such a command in the future? | 17:43 |

| leeping | ls | 17:46 |
| leeping | oops. :) | 17:46 |
| BrianOfTacoma | theadmin, the command you gave will recursively search within folders and delete mp3's in there as well? | 17:46 |
| theadmin | anth0ny: If your kernel is compiled with ACL support, you will probably have a way of doing that without having to change the ownership | 17:46 |
| theadmin | BrianOfTacoma: Yeah | 17:47 |
| BrianOfTacoma | theadmin, where would you advise new Linux users to go to fully learn bash? | 17:48 |

| anth0ny | theadmin, well, I've set up a virtual host with apache and am getting a 403: File Permissions error. I've read that it's likey due to not allowing the user 'www' to execute the directory. I'm specifically trying to rectify that | 17:48 |

| auronandace | battlehands: did you type what i did? | 18:29 |
| arowana | zykotick9_: thanks I just need keywords to google, I'll work the rest out. :) | 18:29 |

| battlehands | auronandace, I made a mistake | 18:30 |
| goltoof | :/ | 18:30 |
| ssk_the_gr8 | zykotick9_: can u think of a solution, why am i facing this issue? | 18:30 |
| joklight | hello | 18:30 |
| ssk_the_gr8 | is totem broken because of an update or is it something else? | 18:30 |
| himcesjf | !info envstat | 18:30 |
| ubottu | Package envstat does not exist in natty | 18:30 |
| battlehands | auronandace, I need to add a NTFS partition, how do I do that? | 18:30 |
| zykotick9_ | ssk_the_gr8, my guess is because you're using Totem (a sub-par media player), and you didn't answer my vlc/mplayer question - so i really don't know | 18:30 |
| auronandace | !partitioning | battlehands | 18:31 |
| ubottu | battlehands: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 18:31 |
| in0cula | my X crash when i move some icons or images, appear a black screen full of code and ther X restart, how do I visualize this text to check the error? | 18:32 |
| himcesjf | Is there any package like envstat in Ubuntu which is used in unixes/NetBSD probably? | 18:32 |
| its | anyone know how to screen-share an ubuntu screen from a mac? | 18:32 |
| zykotick9_ | in0cula, check log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log perhaps? | 18:32 |
| auronandace | its: teamviewer? | 18:33 |
| its | i'll google it | 18:33 |
| r000t | Hello. I installed an nvidia card alongside my on-board graphics, then installed the drivers. I then followed instructions online to get it working, and now I can't even run GDM. | 18:33 |
| in0cula | i check there but there is not the code I view in the crash screen | 18:33 |
| ipa | its: you might check out x2go also | 18:33 |
| B0g4r7 | Natty includes a decent VNC server. | 18:33 |
| zykotick9_ | in0cula, try dmesg perhaps? | 18:33 |
| ikonia | r000t: you'll struggle to use two video cards like that | 18:34 |
| B0g4r7 | System-->Preferences-->Remote Desktop. | 18:34 |
| ikonia | r000t: you'll need to run two totally seperate Xorg sessions and using something like xinerama to span both monitors | 18:34 |
| r000t | ikonia: the goal isn't to use two cards, I just want to use the nvidia card. I have to make it soley use the on board, else it enters a reboot loop | 18:34 |
| B0g4r7 | Use OS X's "screen sharing" client to connect to it. Done. | 18:34 |
| battlehands | what If I dont see Manually edit partition table when trying to add a partition? | 18:34 |
| ikonia | r000t: can you disable the onboard in the bios ? | 18:34 |
| r000t | ikonia: I can make it not the primary, but that makes it enter a reboot loop where it does not even get past GRUB | 18:35 |
| in0cula | yes I think here is the log, THANK YOU, let you knoe | 18:35 |
| ikonia | r000t: the video card should not change the booting at all, | 18:35 |
| SIFTU | r000t: you wont to use the onboard or the nvidia.. did you try blackisting the module you didnt want | 18:35 |
| ikonia | r000t: the only thing it should/could change would be the display | 18:35 |
| ikonia | r000t: the machine should still boot | 18:35 |
| r000t | SIFTU: how do I do that without risking permanent damage to the install? | 18:36 |
| r000t | ikonia: if I make the nvidia the primary, it gets to grub, spits out a few lines, then POSTS, then enters grub, spits out a few lines, then POSTS, etc | 18:36 |
| ikonia | r000t: that suggests a hardware issue | 18:36 |
| SIFTU | r000t: oh, so it doesnt even load the kernel | 18:36 |
| ikonia | r000t: either a failure or an incompatability with the intel one at the same time | 18:36 |
| ssk_the_gr8 | zykotick9_: i'm on a a very slow /limited connection cant download software :( | 18:36 |
| r000t | ikonia: and when I ran something called nvidia-configure, now I can't even get to GDM on the main card | 18:37 |
| r000t | the nvidia card is no longer in the box at the moment | 18:37 |
| zykotick9_ | ssk_the_gr8, sorry i don't have any suggestions for you - good luck. | 18:37 |
| B0g4r7 | ssk_the_gr8, have a look at medibuntu.org | 18:37 |
| ikonia | r000t: that's just display issues, I'm more concerned by the fact that it won't boot with the nvidia card in | 18:37 |
| SIFTU | r000t: confused.. its it loading the kernel and getting to grub? | 18:37 |
| ikonia | r000t: the display issue is easy to fix | 18:37 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: grub is before the kernel | 18:37 |
| SIFTU | r000t: just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:38 |
| its | SIFtU, I'm past all that :P | 18:38 |
| SIFTU | ikonia: um I know.. but he was talking about GDM | 18:38 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: so obviously the kernel loads and grub loads | 18:38 |
| r000t | well I don't know | 18:38 |
| Tixos | guys please someone help me | 18:38 |
| r000t | I only see a flash of text after I press F1 to get past the floppy error | 18:38 |
| its | SIFTU, Im in ubuntu server edition and I have my mac sitting right next to it. | 18:38 |
| B0g4r7 | I had to install some extras from medibuntu to get support for all the codecs I wanted to use. | 18:38 |
| Tixos | with aptitude, the package list, and the key p,A,v,i etc | 18:38 |
| LarrySteeze | Hello! | 18:38 |
| ikonia | r000t: use the"recovery mode on the grub line to get into the recovery shell then remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf as SIFTU has suggested | 18:39 |
| r000t | I'm using x64 if that matters | 18:39 |
| r000t | okay | 18:39 |
| Tixos | if a package has 'pi' next to it, what does this mean | 18:39 |
| * LarrySteeze wants to know if he can ask a stupid newbie question | 18:39 | |
| r000t | I'll try that and be right back | 18:39 |
| r000t | I'm on the box right now so I can just do that in another tty | 18:39 |
| B0g4r7 | Larry, don't ask to ask. Just ask. :) | 18:39 |
| LarrySteeze | haha ok | 18:39 |
| SIFTU | ikonia: well some of the info wasnt suggesting that.. I was trying to clarify | 18:39 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: I understand | 18:40 |
| _cb | What do you recommend for running an XP virtual machine in Ubuntu? (Saw positive comments for Virtualbox but libvirt comes with Ubuntu Server) | 18:40 |
| LarrySteeze | well, I have no problem connecting via ethernet, but I can't seem to figure out how to connect to a wifi network, or if my install is even catching the wifi nic | 18:40 |
| ssk_the_gr8 | zykotick9_: thanx for the help | 18:40 |
| in0cula | <zykotick9_> mmm I think isn't even there | 18:40 |
| urlin2u | _cb, VB is rather easy. | 18:40 |
| in0cula | where i can check | 18:40 |
| zykotick9_ | _cb, libvirt + kvm REQUIRES your CPU to have virtualation suppor | 18:40 |
| _cb | does libvirt do anything that VB does not do? | 18:41 |
| B0g4r7 | _cb, I've used virtualbox a few times and find it works pretty well. | 18:41 |
| zykotick9_ | in0cula, i don't have any other suggestions - good luck | 18:41 |
| B0g4r7 | For day-to-day use, I use VMware Workstation myself. | 18:41 |
| B0g4r7 | (which is not free) | 18:41 |
| zykotick9_ | _cb, it's better for server stuff | 18:41 |
| in0cula | thx anyway | 18:41 |
| _cb | K Virtualbox it is. Thanks! | 18:41 |
| frankie`n | Blender's running really slow on my computer (11.04) | 18:41 |
| frankie`n | I think it's compiz slowing it down | 18:42 |
| frankie`n | what do I have to change to fix it? | 18:42 |
| goltoof | i/o error when trying to copy something from trash.. | 18:42 |
| zykotick9_ | frankie`n, to rule out compiz, use classic without compiz | 18:42 |
| LarrySteeze | never mind, I think I figured it out | 18:42 |
| goltoof | it's a 40gb virtual machine, i need to get it out of trash | 18:42 |
| B0g4r7 | LarrySteeze, look for a menu in the upper right that shows two up/down arrows. Check in there to see if it mentions wireless networks. | 18:42 |
| Tixos | guys, how can a package be purge and installed at the same time ??!! | 18:42 |
| zykotick9_ | Tixos, even if you remove/uninstall stuff, it's still going to be listed in "dpkg -l" | 18:43 |
| goltoof | Tixos: no | 18:43 |
| LarrySteeze | B0g4r7: I figured it out...I needed to go into System > Administration > Additional Drivers | 18:43 |
| B0g4r7 | ah | 18:43 |
| Tixos | it says 'pi' in the first column | 18:43 |
| Tixos | why? | 18:44 |
| LarrySteeze | I'm surprised standard broadcom drivers don't come vanilla | 18:44 |
| Pici | Tixos: Try apt-get install -f | 18:44 |
| zykotick9_ | Tixos, p: Purge (marked for purging) | 18:44 |
| Tixos | no change | 18:44 |
| Tixos | example.. | 18:44 |
| Tixos | pi ruby1.8 | 18:44 |
| LarrySteeze | Now, if only I could figure out how to apply sudo to real life... | 18:45 |
| samuel | hello guys | 18:45 |
| samuel | a | 18:45 |
| o_portista17 | hello, i have a problem with my ubuntu, this keeps hanging, and i have to shutdown manually...the error is this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/686729/ | 18:45 |
| goltoof | i get an i/o error when trying to copy a 40gb file from trash... is there a tool out there for this? | 18:45 |
| frankie`n | zykotick9_: I'll try it, brb | 18:45 |
| samuel | ive been trying to figure this out: how do you run bash scripts on login? | 18:45 |
| samuel | when using unity | 18:45 |
| Tixos | zykotick9_: marked for purging? how to actually purge/remove then ? | 18:45 |
| executionist | / | 18:45 |
| zykotick9_ | Tixos, not sure how you're purging, I'd think it should happen right away. | 18:46 |
| Tixos | i want to remove all these packages | 18:46 |
| Tixos | says they arent installed, but next to the package is 'pi' | 18:46 |
| Tixos | uninstalled packages are just 'p' | 18:46 |
| accipter | I have an executable in /usr/bin/ that I want to rename with a symoblic link, but the link isn't executable | 18:46 |
| zykotick9_ | Tixos, are the packages still working on your system? | 18:47 |
| B0g4r7 | goltoof, "copy from trash" does not make a lot of sense really. The fact that you are receiving an i/o error is in no way connected with the items being copied residing "in the trash". | 18:47 |
| erik1984 | samuel: system setting > startup applications > add | 18:47 |
| Tixos | i have no idea! zykotick9_ | 18:47 |
| Tixos | ruby repos are trash in ubuntu, do not work on 1.9.1, so i have been told to remove and install from source | 18:47 |
| goltoof | B0g4r7: copy from here ~/.local/share/Trash/files/.VirtualBox/ to here ~/ | 18:47 |
| goltoof | B0g4r7: i get an i/o error | 18:48 |
| B0g4r7 | goltoof, what if you instead move the files? | 18:48 |
| Tixos | zykotick9_: have you never come across this key for packages? | 18:48 |
| frankie`n | zykotick9_: I'm in clasic no effects and it works perfectly | 18:48 |
| goltoof | B0g4r7: i get an i/o error in nautilus and cli | 18:48 |
| zykotick9_ | frankie`n, so - it is compiz/unity issue then. Good luck with that. | 18:48 |
| goltoof | B0g4r7: no matter where i try to copy to | 18:48 |
| frankie`n | zykotick9_: lol thanks ;) | 18:49 |
| goltoof | B0g4r7: or "move" to | 18:49 |
| zykotick9_ | goltoof, if you get an i/o error, then you might have a problem with the HD in question. | 18:49 |
| B0g4r7 | goltoof, it kind of sounds like the media the files reside on is damaged. | 18:49 |
| sevith | I have a problem. When I boot my indicator applet (Complete) gets broken and my wireless wont show up, therefore i cannot see the networks around or connect to anything?

| lgp171188 | Hi, I just installed oneiric beta1. After the installation, I am unable to hear the audio through my laptop speakers, but if I connect my headphones, I can hear the audio. I checked the alsamixer and master, speaker are full. there is no front. What could be the issue and how to debug it? | 18:50 |
| goltoof | zykotick9_: i think that's it, it's an xp vm, it was freezing the system so i reinstalled vbox.. so i guess the vm is pretty much screwed.. no way to check it's integrity? | 18:50 |
| xangua | !oneiric | lgp171188 | 18:50 |

| vacho | what is a good way of transfering files from a FTP to another bypassing my own computer? | 18:50 |
| Sevith | vacho, Ftp...?... | 18:51 |
| B0g4r7 | goltoof, you can use something like ddrescue to copy all of the readable areas of the file and replace the damaged pieces with zeros. | 18:51 |
| vacho | Sevith, ... | 18:51 |
| kuru | I have a weird problem where when I do a tail -f /var/log/xxx it shows parts of it and then tells me there is no space left on device | 18:51 |
| goltoof | zykotick9_: you mean my entire system?? it was only vbox that was making it freeze, system runs fine | 18:51 |
| kuru | which device is it referring to? I have 22gb left on the hdd | 18:51 |
| Sevith | vacho, What do you mean you want to transfer files but bypass your computer? That doesnt make sense to me explain? :/ Maybe Im missing something | 18:51 |
| faustisch | "faustisch is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." what do I do? what is the root password? | 18:52 |

Anyone heard of this? is there another application that I can use to connect to wifi? Preferable cmd line but GUI apps will work too...Doesnt really matter to me I guess... | 18:52 |
| zykotick9_ | goltoof, "system runs fine" right now, but if you're getting I/O errors, it suggests problems with your hard drive. | 18:52 |
| B0g4r7 | vacho, I recall the program "FlashFXP" having that capability... | 18:52 |
| goltoof | zykotick9_: only one i/o error from attempting to copy in dmesg | 18:52 |
| kuru | anyone help? | 18:52 |
| zykotick9_ | goltoof, so it's likely that where that file is located on the HD, had issues. Good luck. | 18:52 |
| B0g4r7 | However, I don't know about running FlashFXP on a linux system... | 18:52 |
| goltoof | zykotick9_: what tool do i use to check integrity of the whole disk? | 18:53 |
| Pici | kuru: Can you pastebin the output of 'df -h' ? | 18:53 |
| B0g4r7 | goltoof, I would recommend using "badblocks" for that job. | 18:53 |
| goltoof | i'll just dump the corrupt vm | 18:53 |
| goltoof | B0g4r7: ah yes tht's the one | 18:53 |
| faustisch | sudo sucks ass, I'm moving to debian, ubuntu ain't got mail either | 18:53 |
| w30 | vacho, scp can copy from any computer to another but you need ssh and ssh permissions on both computers | 18:53 |
| zykotick9_ | goltoof, look into "smart" tools, to verify the physical drive -- it could just be a filesystem issue, in which case fsck | 18:53 |

Sound worked fine with the onboard card until I decided to try HDMI and now I get no sound at all.

| urlin2u | kuru, look at the disc with gparted or the disk manager. | 18:56 |
| Pici | kuru: That shouldn't cause any issues. Does your log say out of disk space, or is it tail itself that is giving you the error message? | 18:56 |
| kuru | urlin2u, why? | 18:56 |
| sourabh | hey.... | 18:56 |
| kuru | pici, I can't tail any log files, so it's hard to tell | 18:56 |
| uns0b1ll | how would i find all rar's and extract them into differnt folde on ubuntu | 18:56 |
| Sevith | No one can help me then I'm assuming. | 18:57 |
| krzyhoo | any experts here on installing from USB-drive?? | 18:57 |
| kuru | tail: cannot watch `/var/log/syslog': No space left on device | 18:57 |
| zykotick9_ | kuru, perhaps boot a livecd and free up some space | 18:58 |
| kuru | zykotick9_, I would have to be OUT of space first to free some | 18:58 |
| zykotick9_ | kuru, and how to you interpret the message "No space left on device" exactly? | 19:00 |
| Pici | kuru: Looks like this is a bug in tail. It should be giving you a message about inotify: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coreutils/+bug/700958 | 19:00 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 700958 in coreutils (Ubuntu) "tail -f gives misleading error message when inotify limit is reached" [Low,Triaged] | 19:00 |
| B0g4r7 | tail reports out of space? That's pretty weird. It shouldn't normally be writing anything. | 19:00 |
| urlin2u | Sevith, what is the release your running? | 19:00 |
| goltoof | any way to check for badblocks while drive is mounted? | 19:01 |
| rasusto | @goltoof fsck | 19:01 |
| kuru | zybotick9, how do you interpret this then? http://pastebin.com/c9jWS25q | 19:01 |
| Sevith | urlin2u, 11.04 classic mode. I wonder if maybe the drivers are mucking up during boot? The card's an Advanced Centrino N 6200 | 19:01 |
| zykotick9_ | kuru, ummm, so it's a tail bug, interesting. Sorry, my bad. | 19:01 |
| Pici | kuru: You'd need to raise the max_user_watches level of inotify: check current using: sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches and increase using: sudo sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=16384 | 19:02 |
| B0g4r7 | kuru, what command are you typing exactly when that error occurs? | 19:02 |
| urlin2u | goltoof, on the HD? | 19:02 |
| rasusto | @goltoof my bad, for bad sectors use chdsk | 19:02 |
| B0g4r7 | goltoof, yes, you can preform a read-only test on your hard drive while partitions on it are mounted. | 19:03 |
| Sevith | urlin2u, Any ideas? | 19:03 |
| === steve__ is now known as sbur | ||

| urlin2u | Sevith, I see stuff on the web but boot indicator I have no idea what that is. | 19:03 |
| goltoof | B0g4r7: would it be better to check from livedisk? | 19:04 |
| Sevith | urlin2u, Its just an app indicator on my panel that i can connect to wireless with ease...but half the time when I boot it doesnt pop up. and wont pop up | 19:04 |
| rasusto | @Sevith isnt that the command for a directory listing? | 19:04 |
| B0g4r7 | goltoof, I don't see any reason why that would be better. You could though. | 19:04 |
| Sevith | rasusto, rm -rf? ....Sure... | 19:04 |
| goltoof | .03% done... this will be a while | 19:04 |
| urlin2u | Sevith, thats a third party eh? | 19:05 |
| Sevith | urlin2u, Nope. Came with ubuntu its the Indicator Applet Complete. | 19:05 |

| urlin2u | Sevith, have you tweaked compiz? | 19:06 |
| goltoof | B0g4r7: so it could do read/write test.. | 19:06 |
| B0g4r7 | goltoof, Well, there is that. Be aware that the write/read test is destructive. It will erase anything on the device beng tested. | 19:06 |
| Sevith | urlin2u, Weird. Actualy. Compiz mucked my computer up so bad when i upgraded to 11.04 with unity. I had to unistall it. I cant even reinstall and have compiz work correctly. | 19:06 |

| urlin2u | Sevith, tyope metacity --replace in the terminal, removing compiz was not a good move. | 19:07 |
| Sevith | krzyhoo, Do you mean your having issues booting into the USB? | 19:07 |
| carlos | khangman no abre | 19:07 |
| Sevith | urlin2u, I didnt think compiz was too critical? :( f*xr. Should I reinstall? or what? | 19:08 |
| w30 | Sevith, that command should have a 3 day waiting peroid | 19:08 |
| krzyhoo | Sevith: let me describe. bought a fresh lenovo x121e subnotebook. Am trying to install form usb but i fail. Created a USB stick with unetbooting. On my desktopt it boots fine (with unetbootin menu etc.) on my x121e instead of unetbootin menu grub starts and after a while everything hangs... | 19:08 |
| urlin2u | Sevith, not sure really, compiz is actually part of unity the classic as well I suspect. | 19:08 |

| sevith | urlin2u, wow metacity --replace did all sorts of craziness | 19:12 |
| sevith | urlin2u, it was pretty awesome | 19:12 |
| krzyhoo | so sevith : any clues? | 19:13 |
| krzyhoo | ideas? | 19:13 |
| sevith | krzyhoo, Can you boot into live mode without installing with the USB? | 19:14 |
| urlin2u | sevith, did it help or hurt? | 19:15 |
| CodeOmegaPrime | Vamps-Win7 : It worked like a charm GRUB2 installed nicely and found windows 7 | 19:15 |
| krzyhoo | sevith: what do you mean? have no cd, so usb ist pretty much the onlz option | 19:16 |
| Klunk | nobody got any idea about my sound problem? | 19:16 |
| sevith | krzyhoo, Thats what I mean. Have you installed it onto the USB or is this what you want? To install onto the USB? | 19:17 |
| sourabh | what typeof problem | 19:17 |
| === ipso is now known as vrfinside | ||
| Klunk | sound has stopped working since I tried the hdmi output, | 19:17 |
| sevith | urlin2u, No go. Froze me up. Im reinstalling compiz and gonna do a few tweaks it might help if now I guess ill have to manually muck with it everytime or something | 19:17 |
| sourabh | hey my touch pad is not working some body help me.. | 19:17 |
| sourabh | please | 19:18 |
| krzyhoo | sevith: no, hava a bootbale usb and want it on my laptop | 19:18 |
| urlin2u | sevith, you can set compiz to default I would assume even on a reinstall, you want the cube is that it? | 19:18 |
| sevith | urlin2u, Dont really care about the cube or anything too visually appealing. I just want my wireless to not break everytime I boot. hah | 19:19 |
| _cb | If I have an XP virtual box on an Ubuntu Machine I should be able to use LTSP or No Machine to run it via thin client, correct? | 19:19 |
| urlin2u | sevith, that would be nice. :D | 19:19 |
| sevith | krzyhoo, If you have Ubuntu installed onto the USB Already cant you just boot into the live version and install that way? | 19:19 |
| ModusPwnens | !cloning | 19:19 |
| ubottu | 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 | 19:19 |
| sevith | urlin2u, Ill figure this out :( But im having issues with unresolved dependencies when attempting to install compiz. Even manually installed the dependencies and i still get the error. Says something about enabling all the repositories but they are all enabled. | 19:20 |
| piupiumbra | Does anyone know a detailled description of ubuntus software-center? Concerning up 2 date and detailed informations how a game could be purchased, which payment methods could be used (paypal ...), if I'll get a personalised deb:// for sources.list ... I'm running Kubuntu and so I can't test it by myself. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter contains many future options so I don't know what it is atm. | 19:20 |
| B0g4r7 | _cb, use ltsp in what manner? | 19:20 |
| _cb | to run the virtual machine since it would be an app running on the server | 19:21 |
| sevith | gotto reboot well see how badly this breaks things :( | 19:22 |
| B0g4r7 | _cb, I would think that would work. I don't see why VirtualBox would not behave like any other X11 app. | 19:22 |
| B0g4r7 | _cb, I believe VirtualBox also has some provisions for "serving" the vm via VNC that you might want to explore. | 19:23 |
| Dori922 | hey, im following this guide for chrooting sftp: http://shapeshed.com/journal/chroot_sftp_users_on_ubuntu_intrepid/ The problem is its not working for me, SSH is blocked which is good and i can SFTP into the user, but the user can still browse thehigher up directories | 19:23 |
| _cb | B8g4r7 wow that would be a very inexpensive way of doing what MS terminal servers or Citrix do. (Granted I don't have the admin functionality of Citrix but for a small operation, who cares) | 19:23 |
| wunderkin | hello, i'm trying to upgrade a xen guest from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35, it was using xen blockfront and xvd device, but on 2.6.35 that is not showing up, i tried adding the module to the ramdisk but it isn't adding it.. is it not available on 2.6.35? it works on sd device but we have software that depends on xvd device.. is it better to use xvd device, if i can't, is there some way to alias it? i was trying to in modprobe conf but i couldn't get it | 19:24 |
| B0g4r7 | _cb, yeah, I would like to explore something like that, but without "client machines" even in the picture. I envision one box with lots of video cards, ram and CPUs that has 12 (or more) sets of keyboard/mouse/display directly attached, to make 12 "stations". | 19:26 |
| B0g4r7 | You can purchase HDMI and USB cables up to 50ft long... | 19:27 |
| _cb | B8g4r7 in the old days they called that a mainframe ;) | 19:28 |
| B0g4r7 | Yeah, heh. | 19:28 |
| B0g4r7 | Kinda like in the old days communication happened over digital lines (telegraph). After moving to an analog system for a long time, we're back to digital once again. | 19:29 |
| _cb | I envision more of a server running multiple virtual machines and where you can access them via LTSP or No Machine any time, from anywhere, on any device | 19:29 |
| Pupeno | Any ideas why Ubuntu can't connect to a wifi created by macosx? all our android devices have no problem. | 19:30 |
| B0g4r7 | That's probably relatively easily doable. You'll need plenty of fast storage, ram, etc to make for a good user experience. | 19:30 |
| tomodachi | Pupeno: probably wifi driver problem. Have you tried making an open wifi network with the mac? | 19:30 |
| genii-around | B0g4r7: Have you checked out multiseat setups for X ? | 19:31 |
| B0g4r7 | genii-around, Not yet. My envisioned project is little more than a vision right now. | 19:31 |
| genii-around | B0g4r7: eg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX | 19:31 |
| Pupeno | tomodachi: no, let me see. | 19:31 |
| B0g4r7 | Well that looks like just what I had in mind. | 19:32 |
| w30 | _cb, that could be if Apple, Microsoft, Oracle can be prevented from the land grab concept | 19:32 |
| _cb | B0g4r7 instead of one huge server (single point of failure) I would prefer a multiple, clustered, load balanced servers. | 19:32 |
| excelsior | Help! I have a Dell630, and I don't know how to get the wireless working, and I have no access to wired connection. I'm obviously connected on another laptop. Any help? | 19:33 |
| excelsior | Just installed. I tried plugging into a wired connection but it's a static IP, which I assume prevented me connecting. | 19:33 |
| === Guest75230 is now known as jvoorhs | ||
| === jvoorhs is now known as jvoorhis | ||
| B0g4r7 | _cb, yeah, there's definitely good things to be said of that kind of a design. Handy for that is VirtualBox's Teleport feature that can migrate a running VM from one host to another. | 19:33 |
| _cb | B8g4r7 you can migrate a vm from one host to another. Wow that would be so cool. If a server starts to malfunction just migrate al the VM's to a working server? | 19:35 |
| genii-around | excelsior: Is it dualboot to Windows? | 19:36 |
| guntbert | B0g4r7: _cb: are you certain that your convo is on topic here? | 19:36 |
| B0g4r7 | _cb, that's what the documentation seems to imply. I imagine there could be a few tricky details to deal with. | 19:36 |

| ikonia | Bipul: look in /var/log/messages do you see an entry when you plug the drive in ? | 20:22 |
| cfedde | plummerb: by default the snmp agent will answer to v2c requrests with community string "public" | 20:22 |
| plummerb | Yes, correctly. The manuals give many of the arguments and directives but don't really explain hot to use them or what they do. | 20:22 |
| cfedde | plummerb: the comments in /etc/snmpd.conf are also reasonably helpful. But there is so much policy going on that it is tough to know what is right for any given site. | 20:23 |

| motophreaker | thanks usr13 | 20:32 |

| motophreaker | :) | 20:32 |

| motophreaker | :( | 20:45 |
| cfedde | plummerb: in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf the line that starts "rocommunity" decides what is visible with community string "public" | 20:46 |

| plummerb | <cfedde> I setup my conf file with just the basics. Community access is this: rocommunity public default .1.3.6.1.2.1.1 | 20:48 |
| metalfan_ | where can i look at the ubuntu kernel config that is currently running? | 20:48 |
| cfedde | plummerb: if you make a line "view plummerb included .1.3.6" then "rocommunity plummerb default -V plummerb" you'll get the full tree if you use plummerb as the communtity string. | 20:48 |
| alkafoo | motophreaker: semantics | 20:48 |
| ikonia | metalfan_: what do you mean look at it, what aspect of it ? | 20:48 |
| alkafoo | Slapshot: make sure sshd is running | 20:48 |
| metalfan_ | if the sctp option is included in the kernel or not | 20:48 |
| cfedde | plummerb: you'll also have to restart snmpd for the above to take effect. | 20:49 |
| alkafoo | metalfan_: if there is any sanity in the world, zcat /proc/config.gz | 20:49 |
| ikonia | you'll find it in the config.gz in your /boot directoy | 20:49 |
| Slapshot | alkfafoo I believe it runs on start up. I also dont think its the problem I can seem to ftp to the box or through any webui I have setup. | 20:49 |
| metalfan_ | netstat says: netstat: no support for `AF INET (tcp)' on this system. and the manpage for netstat says that the sctp kernel modul is needed | 20:49 |

| lebear | hi! any "definitive" guide on installing Win7 after Ubuntu 11.04 ? I see it's usually suggested that Win be installed first, will it be a pain the the a** not following that advice? | 20:50 |
| alkafoo | metalfan_: that's a shame | 20:50 |
| metalfan_ | theres even no config in /boot/ for the kernels | 20:51 |

| beached | hey there, Im having some trouble installing my graphics drivers | 20:51 |
| plummerb | <cfedde> so I could do this... view systemstuff included .1.3.6 Then: rocommunity public default -V systemstuff ???? | 20:51 |

| beached | When I try to install the drivers it says I have to end xserver | 20:51 |
| alkafoo | lebear: yes, the important part is to realize that even if you can't access one of your two OSes immediately afterwards, it's a simple fix | 20:52 |
| j0nr | I am trying to get xserver to work on SERVER-EDITION, i.e. no desktop.... I think it is not working due to no working video drivers | 20:52 |
| cfedde | plummerb: I'd expect something like that to work. Or to trim your rocommunity line down to just the .1.3.6 oid | 20:52 |
| j0nr | I have installed xserver-xorg | 20:52 |
| alkafoo | lebear: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 20:52 |

| lebear | perfect, that's what I was looking for. thank you :) too many not up to date guides etc out there | 20:53 |

| cfedde | plummerb: if you want the symbolic oid then you need to add snmp-mibs-downloader package and comment out the mib: line in /etc/snmp/snmp.conf (note no "d") | 20:58 |

| Slapshot | Hi, I'm running 10.04 Server and my processes refuse to run on boot. Whenever I enable my init.d processes to start at boot they refuse to oblige. | 21:20 |
| Sterist | are there still bugs with 64bit installs of ubuntu? | 21:20 |
| simius | Is it safe to make a symbolic link to a folder in /var/www to a folder in my home directory? | 21:20 |
| julie101010 | simius, I do that kind of link all the time... what matters most are the permissions you set on it | 21:21 |
| alkafoo | (or don't change) | 21:22 |
| alkafoo | Sterist: bugs? | 21:22 |
| Sterist | alkafoo one of my CPU cores will run at 100% for a while and nothing but the mouse will respond til it finishes | 21:23 |
| plouffe | I keep hitting the damn num-key by accident on this new keyboard, and I don't need numlock EVER. How can I disable that key for good and just use the pageup/down keys instead of the numbers. | 21:23 |
| episteme | plouffe: remove from keyboard | 21:24 |
| Sterist | alkafoo i just finished doing all my preferences after reinstalling and this has been going on the entire time. none of this happened on the 32bit install | 21:24 |
| plouffe | I wish it had never been put there | 21:24 |
| SubCool | could someone assist me fix grub. | 21:25 |
| Sterist | are there still bugs with 64bit installs of ubuntu? | 21:26 |
| pr0ton_ | how do i add the flash PPA? | 21:26 |
| ikonia | Sterist: not more/less than 32bit | 21:26 |
| ikonia | pr0ton_: flash ppa ? | 21:26 |
| pr0ton_ | it gives me some public key not verified thing, how do i get rid of | 21:26 |
| zykotick9_ | Slapshot, FYI Lucid was the first to switch to Upstart vs init.d startup scripts (but using init.d should work, as far as in know) Good luck. | 21:26 |
| pr0ton_ | adobe flash, launchpad PPA | 21:26 |
| robertzaccour | There's a watermark on the bottom right of the screen that says "AMD Unsupported hardware" after installing FGLRX driver. How do I make the water mark go away? | 21:26 |
| ikonia | pr0ton_: I didn't know there was one | 21:26 |
| executionist | zz, damn. I keep getting dc when I dialed a pppoe connection from ubuntu. Dc every 30 seconds. any clues? | 21:27 |
| Sterist | ikonia do you know of a way i can troubleshoot whats causing my CPU to hang? the system monitor shows nothing consuming CPU but itsself when 1 of 2 cores is running 100% | 21:27 |
| pr0ton_ | http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ | 21:27 |
| pr0ton_ | it adds some APT | 21:27 |
| goltoof | any way to fix bad blocks automatically? Mark them as unusable? | 21:27 |
| pr0ton_ | APT for Ubuntu, 10.04+ | 21:27 |
| ikonia | Sterist: open a termina, and top "top" - then press "1" to show both cpu cores | 21:27 |
| pr0ton_ | that option | 21:27 |
| goltoof | Sterist: top | 21:27 |
| ikonia | Sterist: look what's eating the cpu | 21:28 |
| Strav | Hi. I'm having the following issues with unity's launcher: 1. for menu items created with alacarte and added to the launcher, I get inconsistent behavior when opening a new instance of the application, somtimes it gets a new icon sometimes it's bound to the launcher (what I'd expect). 2. Still for menu items created with alacarte, it's sometimes difficult to include them as a launcher's element (i.e.: sometimes, dragging them into the | 21:28 |
| Strav | launcher does not work, they seem to be added but the next time you open your launcher, they're gone). 3. if I manually edit the settings of a .desktop file included in the launcher, the launcher icon associated to the .desktop disappears. Can anyone refer me to the proper launchpad bugs for these, or does anyone have any suggestions for correcting this? (number 1. is especially getting on my nerves because of it's inconsistency) | 21:28 |

| danielc | Hi there, there is a issue with the automouting of the windows partition in Oneiric that seems to affect some people. | 21:28 |
| ikonia | hassan6: just ask a question | 21:28 |
| ikonia | danielc: discussion on 11.10 in the #ubuntu+1 channel | 21:29 |
| Strav | danielc: by curiosity, which automouting scheme are you talking about? | 21:29 |
| danielc | Ops... thanks, ikonia. | 21:29 |
| danielc | Strav, the usual. Not the autofs, just plain fstab. | 21:29 |
| hassan6 | installed using mini iso 32 bit.after installation it shows ubuntu logo(not lubuntu) and then the screen just goes blank. tried xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine | 21:29 |
| * Strav fears for this precious autofs configs | 21:30 | |
| danielc | :) | 21:30 |
| robertzaccour | after installing the AMD FGLRX driver there's now a watermark at the lower right that says "AMD Unsupported hardware". How do I make it go away? | 21:30 |
| === visix6 is now known as aarcane | ||
| DTSuser | Aircrack-ng doesn't handshake...What could be the problem? | 21:30 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: buy supported hardware | 21:30 |
| Webonaute | how I get partition size on ubuntu? | 21:31 |
| Strav | danielc: fstab problems. ish, that sucks. For myself I just pray for the next lts, AT LAST a bug fix release. | 21:31 |
| alkafoo | robertzaccour: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI_Catalyst#Radeon_HD_6870_and_fglrx_10.10 | 21:31 |
| ikonia | Webonaute: if you open the partition tool (gparted_ you can see it | 21:31 |
| alkafoo | Webonaute: df -h | 21:31 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia, Its supported, it was in the driver updates even | 21:31 |
| hassan6 | installed lubuntu using mini iso 32 bit.after installation it shows ubuntu logo(not lubuntu) and then the screen just goes blank. tried xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine | 21:31 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: and yet it says on your screen, unsupported | 21:31 |
| Strav | is there a chan dedicated to unity's bug (I'd expect there's one given their insane amount) | 21:31 |
| rebba | is it a problem for Windoze to have a swap partition before the MSR? (sda1=EFISYS sda2=ext2BOOT sda3=swap sda4=MSR sda5=C: sda6=ext4 sda7=ext4 sda8=...) | 21:31 |
| zykotick9_ | Webonaute, you can find the drive sizes using "sudo fdisk -l" to find the partition sizes you'll probably have to mount them, then "df -h" | 21:32 |
| ikonia | rebba: it's called "windows" please ask for windows support in ##windows channel | 21:32 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia, yet its in the updates that are supported and maintained | 21:32 |
| alkafoo | rebba it shouldn't be, but I wouldn't put it past it | 21:32 |
| rebba | ikonia: windows gave a BSOD | 21:32 |
| robertzaccour | alkafoo, I have Ubuntu | 21:33 |
| alkafoo | robertzaccour: irrelevant | 21:33 |
| Jekyll | hi guys, i have a question, i installed ubuntu 10.04 and find that my opt directory is missing, will this affect the os in anyway? can i just recreate it? | 21:33 |
| ikonia | rebba: support for windows is in the ##windows channel | 21:33 |
| ikonia | Jekyll: nothing is in /opt by default | 21:33 |
| pr0ton_ | how do i download the latest deb file for flash? | 21:33 |
| alkafoo | Jekyll: nothing is broken until it is | 21:33 |
| xangua | pr0ton_: adobe.com | 21:33 |
| alkafoo | pr0ton_: search for 'flash' in your package manager | 21:33 |
| Jekyll | ikonia: so i can just make the directory again? | 21:34 |
| ikonia | Jekyll: yup | 21:34 |
| pr0ton_ | alkafoo, thats not the latest | 21:34 |
| xangua | or just install from repo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer pr0ton_ | 21:34 |
| alkafoo | Jekyll: if anything ever needs the directory, it will be made on its own | 21:34 |
| pr0ton_ | xangua, adobe.com asks me to install add an APT | 21:34 |
| Jekyll | ikonia: cool thanks:) | 21:34 |
| Strav | Jekyll: just wait until they deprecate /etc/ and put everything in /opt | 21:34 |
| alkafoo | pr0ton_: it's the latest that developers have vetted | 21:34 |
| pr0ton_ | and there is some issue with it, that gives a public key error | 21:34 |
| ikonia | Strav: please don't be silly, he's asking a reasonable question | 21:34 |
| Jekyll | strav : will do | 21:34 |
| pr0ton_ | how do i add it to keychain? | 21:34 |
| mah454 | Hello ... | 21:34 |
| ikonia | Jekyll: I assume you know Strav is joking ? | 21:34 |
| hassan6 | ikonia:installed lubuntu using mini iso 32 bit.after installation it shows ubuntu logo(not lubuntu) and then the screen just goes blank. tried xubuntu yesterday and it worked fine | 21:34 |
| Jekyll | lol | 21:34 |
| xangua | pr0ton_ no idea what you just said :S | 21:35 |
| pr0ton_ | xangua, if you visit adobe.com to download flash, it'll ask you to add a repo source | 21:35 |
| Strav | ikonia: just joking, in the bottom of my heart I like change for the sake of change. | 21:35 |
| pr0ton_ | but when you update do apt-get update or whatever | 21:35 |
| mah454 | I cannot run "Revenge Of The Titans" . How can i fix this problem ? http://pastebin.com/5PrCcG0p . | 21:35 |
| pr0ton_ | it says, that the public key is missing or something | 21:35 |
| Strav | anyways, unity bugs anyone? Somewhere I can seriously discuss those? | 21:36 |
| xangua | pr0ton_ well what were you expecting¿ yum¿¿ | 21:36 |
| xangua | !yum | 21:36 |
| ubottu | Uh, don't you mean !apt ? | 21:36 |
| alkafoo | mah454: did you install with a .deb? | 21:36 |
| johughes | Dev question here: I'm running 11.04 x86_64. I have a [32-bit compiled] application trying to dlopen a 32-bit shared library. The runtime linker is giving me "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32". What could be wrong? | 21:36 |
| mah454 | alkafoo, no i Download and run this from source .tar.gz | 21:37 |
| alkafoo | mah454: you should use the .deb version | 21:37 |
| robertzaccour | alkafoo, It didn't work. it said not found and other stuff | 21:38 |
| zykotick9_ | johughes, be sure you have ia32-libs installed, if it's a specific/non-standard 32bit library checkout the getlibs script to install 32bit libraries on 64bit OS. Good luck. | 21:39 |
| alkafoo | robertzaccour: then you'll have to adjust the script | 21:40 |
| Webonaute | ty | 21:40 |
| robertzaccour | alkafoo, how do I do that? | 21:40 |
| johughes | zykotick9_, thanks, I have ia32-libs installed, and I've checked everything with ldd to make sure it can resolve all of the dynamic dependencies | 21:41 |
| alkafoo | robertzaccour: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22amd%20unsupported%20hardware%22%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org | 21:41 |
| johughes | zykotick9_: I was just wondering if there were any known issue with dlopen()'ing a 32-bit lib on a 64-bit OS | 21:42 |
| Viktator | Hey, anyone knows whats going on here, when i surf, using chromium, and mouse3-click a link, focues changes to another program window..something to do with compiz? | 21:42 |
| zykotick9_ | johughes, sorry i don't even know what dlopen is. Good luck. | 21:42 |
| MisterCrazy8 | I have a bit of a problem. I moved my usr directory to an external drive. In fstab I mistakenly mounted the drive with nosuid. Now I can't use sudo or su. I can't edit the fstab entry. When I manage to open it I can't do so as root and it therefore is read-only. I a Google Cr-48 notebook which I have dual booted with both Chrome OS and Ubuntu. It doesn't use grub. I do not think I can boot with a LiveUSB so I know of no way to | 21:43 |
| ikonia | MisterCrazy8: that's is a terrible idea, keep /usr on local disk | 21:43 |
| ikonia | MisterCrazy8: it should use grub also | 21:43 |
| YankDownUnder | MisterCrazy8, Boot with the livecd and re-edit the fstab mate | 21:43 |
| rebba | MisterCrazy8: start up ubuntu in single user mode | 21:44 |
| MisterCrazy8 | I can't use a live CD. | 21:44 |
| MisterCrazy8 | rebba What do you mean? | 21:44 |
| lebear | speaking of partitions, I just got a new comp and am about to set up a fresh install. is a swap partition really necessary nowadays? | 21:45 |
| Webonaute | what I have to check if fdisk show 30% free space and when I try to do a svn update with root user. it said disk space full? | 21:45 |
| HeGuru | lebear: you can't hibernate without one | 21:45 |
| ikonia | MisterCrazy8: why can't you use a live cd ? | 21:45 |
| lebear | HeGuru, hm alright. what's an appropriate size then? got 4 gigs of ram and a 500gig hdd | 21:46 |
| ikonia | MisterCrazy8: use grub to boot into single user mode, use a livecd, or a liveusb, to edit it | 21:46 |
| HeGuru | lebear: you need atleast the amount of RAM, I use 1.5-2 x ram usually | 21:46 |
| w30 | lebear, I think hibernate or suspend needs swap | 21:46 |
| rebba | MisterCrazy8: add "single" to your normal kernel boot flags. | 21:47 |
| alkafoo | lebear: 4GB will be fine | 21:47 |
| lebear | HeavyMetal, ah that's a waste of space just for hib :/ it's been i while since I did this, so.. 6 gig swap, like... 5 for \ and whatever i need for \home ? all primary except swap ofc | 21:47 |
| alkafoo | and useful | 21:47 |
| wunderkin | hi, i'm having a heck of a time on linux going from 2.6.32 to 2.6.35.. it reverted to using sd device and works, i can't seem to get xen-blkfront module installed into the ramdisk.. am i missing something? i assume it is better to use the xen drivers? we have software that references xvd devices so i was hoping to use same device if possible.. and efficient.. i've tried adding xen-blkfront to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and doing update-ini | 21:48 |
| johnzorn | . | 21:48 |
| alkafoo | lebear: you _can_ hibernate without a swap partition, but I wouldn't personally | 21:48 |
| alkafoo | lebear: 6 gig swap? | 21:48 |
| lebear | alkafoo, yeah RAM*1.5 | 21:48 |
| johnzorn | is the battery life problem of 11.04 going to be fixed in the next version | 21:48 |
| alkafoo | lebear: no forget that | 21:49 |
| alkafoo | lebear: that "rule" is from the 1940s | 21:49 |
| lebear | lol alright.. times 1 then? :D | 21:49 |
| alkafoo | lebear: yes or less, but I'd go with times 1 in your case | 21:49 |
| alkafoo | unless you're going to be doing big media editing, 4GB is _a lot_ of RAM | 21:50 |
| alkafoo | you could arguably not even use swap for just everyday use | 21:50 |
| K4k | johnzorn: I don't know what the official plan is but I'm using 11.10 Beta1 on my netbook and I haven't noticed a huge change in battery life from 11.04 to 11.10 | 21:50 |
| tiktalik | 4gb isn't much if you're going to be playing minecraft, though! | 21:50 |

| fhtagn | by mistake I installed the 32bit version instead of the 64bit, in my 64bit laptop. I am in physics and do some computing. Am I missing too much by not using the 64bit version? | 21:50 |
| tiktalik | fhtagn: Not really. 32 bit is fine. | 21:50 |
| lebear | okay.. and the \ mount is just for the system right? so I should be fine with 5 or so? (all programs and so on being installed on \home) | 21:51 |

| russellw | tiktalik, but that's not true if you're doing computational physics | 21:51 |
| alkafoo | paladinlaw: nvidia-settings | 21:51 |
| russellw | in that case you want to make full use of the hardware | 21:51 |

I can't speak to the statement that performance is lost in mathmatical calculation, though I would imagine it would be an issue if you were dealing with extremely large numbers due to the smaller addres space available. | 21:55 |

| paladinlaw | alkafoo: 280.13 | 21:56 |

| fhtagn | xangua: thank you, saw the '!pawe | K4k fhtagn' awesome # and bot and people =) | 21:59 |
| Jordan_U | hmekh: Then that's normal. You'll have a better time when you're not running from a LiveCD but 512 MiB is still not very much RAM. | 22:00 |
| K4k | ikonia: I finally got LDAP working btw. Follow the wiki + had to add "TLS_REQCERT allow" to the ldap.conf because we're using our own internal CA. Probably not the best way to solve the issue since it could potentially pose a security issue but at least it works for now. | 22:00 |

| MisterCrazy8 | If no solution I am capable of restarting the entire process | 22:05 |
| ikonia | MisterCrazy8: that maybe worth while | 22:05 |
| ikonia | MisterCrazy8: that install process is bascially hardcoding prebuilt ubuntu onto your machine | 22:06 |

| SubCool | I have a box, 500gb, Kubuntu, win7. and another partition i recently deleted which appearently hosted GRUB. I have done nearly everything every normal grub fix help says.. | 22:32 |
| Jordan_U | SubCool: I didn't intend it to be. If you want help you'll need to give a more detailed description of your problem. | 22:32 |
| SubCool | i was working with a couple guys last night, buti t got late and i was having issues. | 22:32 |
| SubCool | Jordan_U, ya, i get that- but its easier just to ask for help in the topic and then explain. | 22:33 |
| ikonia | SubCool: which partition did you delete | 22:33 |
| Bucaneiro | play stereo files as mono is important | 22:33 |
| SubCool | ikonia, a third one with linux on it. Now when i boot, i get a "cannot find partition , grub-rescue>" | 22:35 |
| paladinlaw | can someone analyze my xorg.conf file? my max resolution is 640x480. file: http://pastebin.com/uNviLCZy | 22:35 |
| ikonia | SubCool: so you'll need to apply a new boot loader then | 22:35 |
| Jordan_U | SubCool: Follow this guide to install KUbuntu's grub to the mbr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 22:36 |
| ikonia | SubCool: either re-apply the micrsoft one from the windows cd (the guys in ##windows can explain this if you don't know how to do it) | 22:36 |
| SubCool | got me at this point. | 22:36 |
| SubCool | ya, i just tried the Chroot i think | 22:36 |
| ikonia | Jordan_U: it won't work as he won't have /etc for the grub configs | 22:36 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: He still has a full KUbuntu install. | 22:36 |
| ikonia | SubCool: you've deleted linux where the grub config is, so you either need a.) a linux install b.) a non-grub boot loader | 22:37 |
| SubCool | i had two linux's on here | 22:37 |
| ikonia | Jordan_U: he said he'd deleted the linux partition (which if grub config is missing, that means /etc is gone) | 22:37 |
| SubCool | i deleted one | 22:37 |
| ikonia | SubCool: which one did you delete ? | 22:37 |
| SubCool | originaly i had two kubuntu's and win 7 | 22:37 |
| SubCool | now i have one of each | 22:37 |
| ikonia | ok, so Jordan_U's is spot on then, sorry Jordan_U | 22:37 |
| SubCool | ive tried this one- it doesnt work | 22:38 |
| ikonia | SubCool: it will | 22:38 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: Np :) | 22:38 |
| SubCool | i just tried it | 22:38 |
| ikonia | SubCool: or you can boot from a kubuntu livecd and re-apply grub to point at your new/current kubuntu enviornment | 22:38 |

| tiktalik | Are there any terminal music players? | 22:40 |
| jrib | tiktalik: many... try mpd, moc, mplayer... | 22:41 |
| SubCool | how can i tell which i need? | 22:41 |
| Jordan_U | Phr3d13: Streaming is not compatible with how bittorrent works. What are you actually trying to be able to do? | 22:41 |
| Jordan_U | SubCool: Your install is 64 bit, that is what that error means. | 22:42 |
| w30 | paladinlaw, my xorg.conf is http://pastebin.com/wJvkzTUS | 22:42 |

| SubCool | Jordan_U, | 22:42 |

| rhizmoe | Phr3d13: streaming torrents do not exist yet, though it's being worked on (and has been for at least a few years) | 22:43 |
| SubCool | rhizmoe, gotta be complicated... | 22:43 |
| SubCool | talk about timing and swarm.. | 22:43 |
| Phr3d13 | i saw that the windows version of utorrent supports torrent streaming | 22:43 |
| Jordan_U | SubCool: OK. Can you pastebin the output of "mount" and "sudo blkid"? | 22:43 |
| Enissay | Hi guys, here's my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11248493 | 22:43 |
| rhizmoe | indeed. it's a protocol thing. | 22:43 |
| SubCool | Jordan_U, sure. | 22:44 |
| rhizmoe | Phr3d13: is it streaming the torrents, or is it letting you view files whose chunks have been downloaded in a particular order, or after a certain point of completion? | 22:44 |
| Phr3d13 | afaik its streaming the torrent | 22:44 |
| marko-_-- | i know this is not an ubuntu related question but i'll form it that way so yeah... is it okay if i leave my laptop that has ubuntu running on all night? I need it because of the alarm clock | 22:44 |

| ikonia | plummerb: just ask the actual questions | 23:00 |
| plummerb | Ok. When I set the community Access Control to "rocommunity public default .1.3.6.1.2.1.1" SNMP queries do not respond correctly. For example, I can't get the network interfaces. But when I set it to "rocommunity public default .1.3.6" the same query works. | 23:02 |
| ikonia | plummerb: you maybe setting too far down the tree for that query, the higher up settings allow that query | 23:03 |

| goltoof | ikonia: what should i do instead? | 23:15 |
| ikonia | goltoof: unmount it | 23:16 |

| Jordan_U | octocpp: You're welcome, but there likely *will* be an error since there was one during install, and that's when things start getting interesting :) | 23:19 |

| crowx- | I installed windows in one partition, then I installed kubuntu on 3 other partitions, 1 for swap, 1 for boot, and 1 for root. | 23:45 |
| Jordan_U | xosuitehearts: If the CD is mounted, then you should see a line with something like "/dev/sr0 /media/foo iso9660 ...". If it's not mounted then run "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/" (not because it needs to be mounted, but as a way to confirm that we have the right device node). | 23:45 |
| crowx- | but after the installation, grub didn't get load at all, and windows started directly | 23:45 |
| coz_ | Valen-Echo, well that depends on what you want to do ,,, graphics...coding...music ,,,etc | 23:45 |
| crowx- | then I booted again from the live cd | 23:45 |
| xosuitehearts | DrPenguin Jordan_U where would I look to see this? | 23:45 |
| DrPenguin | Chief-Wolf: it is going to show you all the drives in there that are automounted, the "Mount Point" should represent SecondaryDrive | 23:45 |

| mrtc | although I've defintely made that mistake in the past | 23:46 |
| xosuitehearts | DrPenguin Jordan_U basically I want to know how I can tell if its really an issue with my cddrom drive or not? because it can write and read just fine, just not copy from command line | 23:46 |
| Jordan_U | xosuitehearts: Run "mount" in a terminal and pastebin the output. | 23:46 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U alright | 23:46 |
| DrPenguin | bartj: yuck that looks ugly | 23:46 |
| DrPenguin | bartj: what is the state of KMS? is it enabled? | 23:47 |
| bartj | DrPenguin, I'll have to google KMS | 23:47 |
| timbopt | I'm trying to install an hp printer with hplip. New version installing and I get an error that an -additional driver plug-in is required- but get an error that the -plug-in does not match its digital signature. Can you help me resolve it? | 23:47 |

| Chief-Wolf | DrPenguin: I'm not seeing "secondarydrive" In this file.. its only showing one called Proc | 23:47 |
| DrPenguin | bartj: lsmod | grep i915 | 23:47 |
| DrPenguin | Chief-Wolf: there should be more in there than just proc | 23:47 |
| bartj | DrPenguin, nope then | 23:48 |
| Chief-Wolf | DrPenguin: let me get a pastebin of all it's showing, maybe i'm reading it wrong | 23:48 |
| Chief-Wolf | DrPenguin: http://pastebin.com/pZ2DJcUg | 23:49 |
| Hoatzin | Valen-Echo: Enjoy. I started long time ago with Ubuntu, changed to another Ubuntu & using it now again because you can build on it. Its stable & friendly. Explore the software & have fun. | 23:49 |
| Jordan_U | xosuitehearts: Your CD is not currently mounted. Try running "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/". | 23:49 |
| qin | xosuitehearts: Do you have any other CD to test? | 23:49 |
| DrPenguin | Chief-Wolf: Is the drive mounted right now? if you type mount it will spit out EVERYTHING thats mounted.. so you should see something like /dev/blah on /blah/SecondaryDrive | 23:49 |
| DrPenguin | Chief-Wolf: ohhh I see whats going on here.. its mounting your root and swap drives by UUID.. thats ugly, and its not what we want | 23:49 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U ill try mounting it | 23:49 |
| Chief-Wolf | DrPenguin: oh crap, how does one fix it? | 23:49 |
| xosuitehearts | qin yes, ill post after im done | 23:49 |
| DrPenguin | Jordan_U: not to be an ass, but I was sure you said it didnt have to be mounted :P | 23:50 |
| DrPenguin | Chief-Wolf: nono its fine, its just more convoluted to see | 23:50 |
| Chief-Wolf | DrPenguin: oh for a moment I thought it would be a long terminal chain that would endlessly hurt my tiny noob brain | 23:50 |
| DrPenguin | bartj: ok then yeah you dont have kms set.. You can turn it on a few ways, one is by loading a module, or by passing it as a kernel arg in grub | 23:50 |
| crowx- | I installed windows in one partition, then I installed kubuntu on 3 other partitions, 1 for swap, 1 for boot, and 1 for root. but after the installation, grub didn't get load at all, and windows started directly. then I booted again from the live cd and used fdisk and noticed that /dev/sda3 (the /boot partition) didn't have a bootable flag, so I added one, saved it, and rebooted. Now I see "Invalid partition table" error when booting. and nothing boots. | 23:50 |

| crowx- | any help please? | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | DrPenguin: Please watch your language. It doesn't. This is a test to confirm that /dev/cdrom is the correct device node. | 23:50 |
| bartj | DrPenguin, I think kernel arg would be the best | 23:51 |
| DrPenguin | Jordan_U: with all due respect, were not kids here, and your not my father | 23:51 |

| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device | 23:52 |
| DrPenguin | Fuck ur rules | 23:52 |

| plummerb | Anyone else getting PM's from AuroraNites21 | 23:54 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U would the fact that its a old playstation 1 disc make a difference? | 23:54 |
| Chief-Wolf | plummerb: I am | 23:54 |
| Jordan_U | xosuitehearts: That confirms that /dev/cdrom is not the correct device (at least at the moment). | 23:54 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U let me try a different disc and see how it reacts to that | 23:55 |
| plummerb | <Chief_Wolf> Is he a troll? | 23:55 |
| Chief-Wolf | Crap, Penguin left and I don't know where to go from this step .-. | 23:55 |
| Chief-Wolf | Plummerb: not a clue | 23:55 |
| qin | Jordan_U: Thats seems to be even stanger, assuming his first paste was real: http://paste.ubuntu.com/688706/ | 23:56 |
| xosuitehearts | qin Jordan_U hold on, I had the disc out | 23:57 |
| xosuitehearts | qin Jordan_U my bad. | 23:57 |
| xosuitehearts | qin Jordan_U going to try it again | 23:57 |
| Chief-Wolf | So can anybody help me finish this up, WINE isn't seeing my Secondary Drive thats currently mounted, but Ubuntu can see read and use it just fine, I can't find the mount path and the UUIDs have been swapped. | 23:57 |
| Chief-Wolf | What can I do | 23:57 |
| xosuitehearts | qin Jordan_U mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 23:58 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: Navigate via /media (or whatever mountpoint is). | 23:58 |
| th0r | Chief-Wolf: how can you know ubuntu can read and use it without knowing the mount path? | 23:59 |
| xosuitehearts | qin Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/688719/ | 23:59 |
| xosuitehearts | no where do I go from here? | 23:59 |
| Chief-Wolf | th0r: I don't know it, it does, but I can't find its path in the document because the UUID's are around | 23:59 |
