| Chief-Wolf | qin: I now owe you one box of Koodos | 00:00 |
| Jordan_U | xosuitehearts: OK. Now that you have a disk in the drive, we've confirmed that /dev/cdrom is the correct device node. You should be able to use dd with this device now. | 00:00 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U alright, so what code do I run? | 00:00 |
| Jordan_U | xosuitehearts: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/disc1.iso | 00:01 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U gave me the same as before | 00:01 |
| plummerb | Only 1 box? | 00:01 |

| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U how do I unmount? | 00:03 |
| Chief-Wolf | Qin: Wine is still not allowing me to install steam on the newly discovered D: Drive | 00:03 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U cancel that | 00:04 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: You can symlink ~/.wine to somehere else. | 00:04 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U how do I unmount, because now the drive is busy? | 00:05 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin: im an ubuntu virgin, how can i make a System Link like that? | 00:05 |
| nucc1 | hi guys, i'm trying to setup postfix/smtp authentication using PAM to a mysql DB. somehow, the @domain.com part of the username doesn't make it to the SQL query sent to the database, does anyone have a clue what i could try? | 00:06 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: Wait. What do you want to do, in basics. I understand install Steam. | 00:06 |
| Chief-Wolf | Qin: I need to install steam on my secondary hard drive that we just found the mount path to, went into Winecfg, told it to use that as a D: drive, but when I go to install the Installer cant seem to see D: | 00:07 |
| xosuitehearts | qin how would I unmount? | 00:07 |
| Sterist | how come when i hit Launch in my virtual machine, the window disappears almost instantly? | 00:08 |
| qin | xosuitehearts: eject, or sudo umount /mount/point | 00:08 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: Can you pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) your ls -l /media/ | 00:09 |
| Chief-Wolf | Qin: So i type ls -l /media/ in the Terminal and post results? I can do that :D | 00:09 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: and ls -l /media/<harddrive>/* yes, terminal. | 00:10 |
| Chief-Wolf | http://paste.ubuntu.com/688730/ Well that was most bizzare Qin | 00:11 |
| Chief-Wolf | it says my hard drive "227" is there | 00:11 |
| Chief-Wolf | but when i dove deeper, it said there was nothing | 00:11 |
| Sterist | how come when i hit Launch in my virtual machine, the window disappears almost instantly? | 00:11 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: Hm? ok: df -h; mount | 00:12 |

| Chief-Wolf | qin http://paste.ubuntu.com/688731/ I think i comprehend what some of it is, but most of this is french to me | 00:13 |
| Sterist | qin i recently reinstalled ubuntu (had 32bit, now 64) and previously it worked. everything i had installed is now restored. any ideas? | 00:13 |
| xosuitehearts | okay qin so here's what I did, I put a music cd in the drive | 00:14 |
| xosuitehearts | qin and from there I did the mont | 00:14 |
| xosuitehearts | mount* | 00:14 |
| xosuitehearts | qin it says i need to specific file system | 00:14 |
| xosuitehearts | qin should I go ahead and try to make an iso from this disc to test it? | 00:15 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin it may be notable that i'm on 11.04 64bit | 00:15 |
| Jordan_U | xosuitehearts: sudo umount /dev/cdrom | 00:15 |
| Silpelit | a | 00:15 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: You should reformat 227 into something more normal than vfat, and maybe divide it into 2 partitions. | 00:15 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin Vfat? Ok, I will try this now | 00:16 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U alright, here's what was the matter, I had a playstation 1 disc in there, ii swapped it for a regular audio cd | 00:16 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: No vfat! ext4 would be nice. | 00:16 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U im mounting the audio cd and going to try and make an iso grom it | 00:16 |
| xosuitehearts | from* | 00:16 |
| xosuitehearts | it | 00:16 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin: ext4, got it, formatting now, and renamming to actual text | 00:17 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U it asked me to specify the filesystem type | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | xosuitehearts: You can't mount audio CDs, nor can you make isos from them as they don't have an iso9660 filesystem. | 00:17 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U shoot... | 00:17 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin Formatted and Mounted | 00:18 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U all I really want to know is how would i tell if my cd drive is the problem? | 00:18 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: Do you use any windows? If yes, you may need extra partition to be accesable from both. | 00:18 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U because I can burn images just fine and read them fine as well | 00:18 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: mount - just give me path. | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | xosuitehearts: Then your drive is not the problem. | 00:18 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin Will Do | 00:18 |
| Chief-Wolf | Qin Says only the root user can do it, and my password is being denied | 00:19 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U i read something that had to do with ps1 discs having a diff data type http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/ | 00:19 |
| [IFOC]75 | hi, I have timidity++ installed, midi files play correctly when I use "timidity <midi file>" but Rosegarden doesn't make any sounds | 00:19 |
| xosuitehearts | Jordan_U it says i have to use cdrdao | 00:19 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: What is saying that? | 00:20 |
| [IFOC]75 | I tried a few tutorials, but they didn't have any effect, what should I do? | 00:20 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin: terminal, or do you want me to just go into fstab and get it? | 00:20 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: No, mount is command to see mounted drives, you can mount/unmount in menu > places or in file manager (on left side) | 00:21 |

| hcook | i downloaded 11.04 32b just now and used the startup disc creator to put it on a thumb drive...and it's been sitting at "installing the bootloader" for 20 min or so...anything I should check? any other way i ought to do it? | 00:22 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: So what does command "mount" do? | 00:22 |
| hcook | qin; without args it'll show you the mounted filesystems. with various arguments it'll mount other filesystems | 00:23 |
| hcook | [IFOC]75: are you on a desktop or server? | 00:24 |
| qin | hcook: ^^^ | 00:24 |
| [IFOC]75 | A desktop | 00:24 |

| Chief-Wolf | qin http://paste.ubuntu.com/688740/ | 00:28 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: OK, now you have some options. Either tell wine of second drive, or move ~/.wine (all your games and programs installe in wine) to secondarydrive and link it form home folder. | 00:31 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin: I've told wine of the drive, used WineCFG to say "this is a D: Drive" but it refuses to take it | 00:31 |
| Chief-Wolf | Qin: Also how would one preform such a link? | 00:32 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: Did you try after reformating? | 00:32 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin Yes, reformatted to the type you specified, so I'm not sure whats happening with it | 00:32 |
| Sterist | qin ..? | 00:32 |
| qin | Sterist: ? | 00:33 |
| Sterist | nevermind | 00:33 |
| Chief-Wolf | Qin I made a link to a folder in Secondary Drive, could I plug it through that link as a D Drive? | 00:35 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: To move all .wine: cp ~/.wine /media/SecondaryDrive/Wine && du -sh ~/.wine && du /media/SecondaryDrive/Wine | 00:35 |
| qin | Chief-Wolf: Propably yes. | 00:35 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin: i'm gonna try that first before the move | 00:35 |

| Peter_Bilt | e.g 2.6,39 | 01:25 |
| IdleOne | Parsind: this channel is for Ubuntu support. | 01:25 |
| fede | You mean the 3.0? | 01:26 |
| Peter_Bilt | look at the ppa repository | 01:26 |
| Peter_Bilt | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 01:26 |
| fede | Peter: But how I know which one to install? | 01:26 |
| fede | Can you help me? | 01:26 |
| Peter_Bilt | install the latest one | 01:26 |
| timmy_ | PM me i cannot read your messages with al these other messages | 01:27 |
| Peter_Bilt | do you have some firmware on this device? | 01:27 |
| fede | Yes, but they are for windows only | 01:27 |
| fede | I think I have the latest kernel for this ubuntu release | 01:27 |
| BrandonBolton | Is it just me or is the Floodbots flooding? | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | fede: what release are you using? | 01:28 |
| fede | 11.04 | 01:28 |
| lightcatcher | i'm confused as to what is happening. i installed ubuntu server (and then ubuntu desktop as a package) in a way so i could dual boot with windows 7. when booting from install disc, everything works now, when booting from hdd, grub fails with 'symbol not found': 'grub_env_export' | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | fede: you could test with a live cd of the 11.10 release they are using the 3.0x kernel. | 01:28 |
| fede | 2.6.38 | 01:28 |
| fede | Yes, I know, do you think that might solve the problem? | 01:29 |
| fede | I mean updating to the beta | 01:29 |
| burt | Hey. Has anybody seen this error on 11.04 when trying to connect to a bookmarked remote folder (SSH) after suspending: http://i.imgur.com/kSzyP.png ? | 01:29 |
| Peter_Bilt | hello reynolds | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | fede: i just suggested TESTING with the live cd. to see if it works. | 01:31 |
| fede | ok, I'll do that | 01:31 |
| fede | thanks | 01:31 |
| snap_ | hey, so I have a fakeraid setup with windows running on it currently (2 raid sets, both raid 5, actually), and dmraid does not assemble it properly by default. I can manually asemble it with dmraid, but how can I get it to work if i wanted to set up WUBI on the raid set as well? where in the boot can i set it to manually assemble it? | 01:33 |

| HotShowers | i'm setting up a debian chroot | 01:39 |
| theadmin | HotShowers: You should probably take that to #debian | 01:39 |
| HotShowers | what's the best practise, using "mount -t proc proc /mnt/usb/proc" | 01:40 |
| HotShowers | or "mount -o bind /proc /mnt/usb/proc" | 01:40 |
| HotShowers | it's inside ubuntu | 01:40 |
| soreau | HotShowers: Best to ask in #debian ;) | 01:40 |
| theadmin | HotShowers: Use "mount -t proc proc /mnt/usb/proc" for procfs and "mount --rbind /dev /mnt/usb/dev" for /dev | 01:40 |
| roothorick | I'm not sure where who to ask about this so I'll start here. GeForce GTS 210, TwinView, with a 1360x768 progressive monitor on one output and an HDTV on the other output, with a custom modeline to do 1080i (yes, INTERLACED) with overscan compensation. mplayer + VDPAU = tearing. Disabling compositing didn't do anything. Help? | 01:41 |
| HotShowers | ok will -t proc and same for sysfs | 01:41 |
| HotShowers | thanks guys | 01:41 |
| theadmin | HotShowers: You don't really *need* sysfs in a chroot | 01:41 |
| soreau | roothorick: It's probably a bug in the nvidia driver. The only thing you can really do is try a different version of it | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | roothorick: there was some enable vsync options i recall using in the past. | 01:42 |
| fede | so stupid, I don't have a live cd of 11.10 | 01:42 |
| Chief-Wolf | qin sorry about that, it took longer than i thought | 01:42 |
| HotShowers | what is the purpose of sysfs? some binaries must use it no? | 01:42 |
| fede | Can I install the 2.0 kernel on this release? | 01:42 |
| HotShowers | or is it only for booting your chroot? | 01:42 |
| fede | sorry 3.0 | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | roothorick: i recall a setting in compiz/ccsm and setting/playing with filters in vlc to get rid of most all my tearing issues.. but thats been several Months ago. | 01:42 |
| theadmin | HotShowers: No real idea, it's just that when installing Gentoo I didn't have to mount sysfs :D | 01:42 |

| dr_willis | fede: thers unofficial kernel ppa's and unsupported ubuntu variants that have a 3.x kernel . but i dont reccomend it. | 01:43 |
| soreau | roothorick: You can try setting sync to vblank in nvidia-settings and running compiz with sync to vblank enabled in ccsm | 01:43 |
| theadmin | HotShowers: "Sysfs exports information about devices and drivers from the kernel device model to user space | 01:43 |
| theadmin | HotShowers: So yeah, you don't need that in a chroot | 01:43 |
| fede | I thought so | 01:43 |
| fede | anyway 11.10 should pretty stable by now isn't it? | 01:44 |
| theadmin | fede: This is not the channel to ask. And it's not stable until released. | 01:44 |
| dr_willis | fede: i find it ok. :) but its not defined as 'stable' yet | 01:44 |
| fede | ok | 01:44 |

| mrdeb | hi | 02:33 |
| mrdeb | is it possible to make libreoffice portable on usb stick like you can in windows | 02:33 |
| mrdeb | but for ilnux | 02:33 |
| zoidfarb | mrdeb: it should be, what you'd need are precompiled binaries for libreoffice | 02:35 |
| zoidfarb | mrdeb, but be careful because there tends to be more variation between linux systems than windows ones: a binary compiled to run on Fedora might not work on Ubuntu | 02:35 |
| zoidfarb | Mrdeb: Also--dependencies could be a barrier to true portability | 02:36 |
| zoidfarb | mrdeb, try here: http://superuser.com/questions/315988/plain-tar-gz-binary-distribution-of-libreoffice | 02:39 |
| mrdeb | zoid, is that going to sya how to make executable | 02:39 |
| mrdeb | ? | 02:39 |
| LordDragon | hey all | 02:40 |
| slie | Hey i'm using a campus computer which happens to have ubuntu installed on it... anyway it's running jaunty... discontinued it won't install anything i just want vim and maybe couple outher things i did try using hardy's source tree but won't work any suggestions? | 02:40 |
| LordDragon | can anyone recommend a really good twitter client for ubuntu ? | 02:40 |
| theadmin | LordDragon: Gwibber is fine | 02:41 |
| mrdeb | slie, can you upgrade to nwe ubuntu | 02:41 |
| slie | "won't let me install anything" let me refrase the sources won't work | 02:41 |
| zoidfarb | mrdeb, I'm not sure what you mean? chmod +x is how you add executable privileges to a file | 02:41 |
| slie | mrdeb, i better not it probably won't like that | 02:41 |
| slie | IT* | 02:41 |
| mrdeb | well it is not supported now | 02:41 |
| mrdeb | tell them to install a new one | 02:41 |
| zoidfarb | slie: are there no mirrors out there for older Ubuntu releases? | 02:42 |
| slie | mrdeb, anyway around it? | 02:42 |
| mrdeb | idk | 02:42 |
| slie | zoidfarb, I tried a couple but it's a no go | 02:42 |
| zoidfarb | slie, according to this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1720421 "try replacing archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com in your sources.list" | 02:43 |
| vercingetorix | Hi, i have a button on my laptop that doesn't do anything. I would like to program it so that when I click this button, it performs a command or runs a script. How do I do this? | 02:45 |
| bastidrazor | slie: look here:: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 02:46 |
| qin | vercingetorix: keyboard shortcuts | 02:46 |
| vercingetorix | qin: this is not a normal keyboard button though | 02:47 |
| vercingetorix | it's a button placed by the manufacturer next to the power button | 02:47 |
| slie | zoidfarb, bastidrazor, okay i'm messing with these again i'll see if i can't pull something together i'll report so far replacing ubuntu.com is a no go but still have a couple other things to try | 02:47 |
| sporkbomb | vercingetorix: is it like a multimedia button? | 02:48 |
| qin | vercingetorix: Then test it with xev | 02:48 |
| vercingetorix | sure sporkbomb, i think that's the term | 02:48 |
| vercingetorix | i typed xev into terminal and pressed the button to no effect | 02:49 |
| vercingetorix | but other keys on my keyboard are registered | 02:49 |
| vercingetorix | is there a way to list buttons like this from the terminal so i can target the somehow? | 02:49 |
| Sterist | is there a guide to set up an applet as root? | 02:51 |
| slie | not still a no go bumber | 02:51 |

| rhizmoe | in both chrome and ff. last time a reboot fixed it. ballmer! | 02:51 |
| rhizmoe | Sterist: what's an applet? | 02:52 |
| Sterist | rhizmoe it's a thermal reader, it wants root permissions to read the hdd temp. sec i'll get the name | 02:53 |
| rhizmoe | reading the hdd temp requires root? | 02:53 |
| BillClinton | Hello | 02:53 |
| BillClinton | I am trying to play .mkv files on vlc. all of them are in excess of 2 gb | 02:53 |
| rhizmoe | sapphire | 02:54 |
| BillClinton | and its not working for a variety of reasons, its all buggy and the frames are not moving | 02:54 |
| BillClinton | is there a codec i am lacking to play mkv films? | 02:54 |
| rhizmoe | mkv is just a container, it would depend on the formats within | 02:54 |
| BillClinton | rhizmoe: is there some kind of package like ubuntu-restricted extras I can download that would give me access to a variety of formats to resolve this? | 02:55 |
| sporkbomb | BillClinton: for the mkv file you are playing, is the directory full of other mkv files? | 02:56 |
| Sterist | rhizmoe xfce4-sensors-plugin | 02:56 |
| zykotick9_ | BillClinton, in addition to u-r-e there is the w32codecs or w64codecs from medibuntu | 02:56 |
| sporkbomb | BillClinton: the reason I ask is b/c I think there was an issue where vlc tries to preload all files in the directory | 02:57 |
| BillClinton | sporkbomb: no there isnt. In my directory there is just the individual mkv files in video format | 02:58 |

| ubottu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 03:04 |

| whyameye | I've googled to death how to run a dhcp server on natty. Tons and tons of how-tos. None of them work. Where can I get a configuration that actually works? | 03:05 |
| qin | amccloud: You could simply echo line by line to see where it stops. | 03:06 |
| rhizmoe | whyameye: isc-dhcpd | 03:06 |
| whyameye | rhizmoe: been there, done that. | 03:06 |

| zykotick9_ | misaq, what do you want to change about grub exactly? | 03:11 |
| Dylan2236 | Why go thru all the hassel? | 03:11 |

| eblume | Hi. I'm trying to connect my 11.04 box through HDMI out to my TV. The Display configuration screen shows the TV just fine and even seems to detect a reasonable (or somewhat reasonable) resolution. My issue is that the TV does not render the input - it stays blank. I looked at the relevant documentation and it seems I need to work on my xorg.conf file. The only issue is, it seems in 11.04 there is no longer a xorg.conf file. My questio | 03:33 |
| fromz | Of course google is pretty hard to get an answer ... with all kinds of "10 things to do /after/ installing ubuntu" and that type of results | 03:34 |
| The_Worst | I don't know if that was directed at me, but I've followed the the steps on google and Windows simply can't find the printer when I provide the direct link | 03:35 |

| The_Worst | that is the link | 03:41 |
| whyameye | usr13: seems like dhcp3 is gone. And now we use isc-dhcp-server? | 03:41 |
| Dylan2236 | Anybody know any programs like WinToFlash for ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| zykotick9_ | ascheel, :) i wasn't going to say anything, figured it was just a typo | 03:42 |
| eblume | wildgoose: In this post ( http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2009-October/004616.html ) someone with my exact TV seems to have it working. Can you parse what he said to tell me what the heck he did to make it work? Pretty please? | 03:42 |
| SIFTU | The_Worst: what kind or port did you create in windows? | 03:42 |
| usr13 | whyameye: did you edit /etc/dhcpd.conf ? | 03:42 |
| edbian | Dylan2236: what does win2flash do? | 03:42 |
| whyameye | usr13: yes. | 03:42 |

| centHOGG | The_Worst: why is the printer on a linux machine? | 04:00 |
| usr13 | whyameye: I don't understand: | 04:00 |
| usr13 | /sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlan0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-48c0cf9b-e0be-4ed4-b383-783ad27baea3-wlan0.lease -cf /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf wlan0 | 04:00 |
| usr13 | ? | 04:00 |
| zykotick9_ | dex_, you mount block devices not files... your question is not uncommon however. What are you actually trying to do? | 04:00 |
| iwasfedora | dex_, what do you mean by mount archive ?? | 04:00 |
| Dylan2236 | Night everyone. | 04:01 |
| whyameye | usr13: I assume that's network manager magic | 04:01 |
| centHOGG | gl | 04:01 |
| eblume | wildgoose: I assume you meant HDMI2 and not HDMI1, and also is it OK if I name the mode something else? that mode name appears to be taken. Assuming both of those are OK - I tried and it didn't have any noticeable effect. | 04:01 |
| usr13 | whyameye: Are you trying to do ICS on this machine? | 04:01 |
| eblume | wildgoose: no errors though, just no flicker on the TV | 04:01 |
| whyameye | usr13: in any case, I'm trying to get the dhcp server running on eth0 and the wifi internet is wlan0. Yes ICS on this machine. Exactly. Done it a million times in the past btw, but maybe the first time in natty. | 04:02 |
| dex_ | zykotick9_ i want to mount an archive like an iso file. | 04:02 |
| knightvoid | how do I edit /etc/environment | 04:02 |
| wildgoose | eblume: Hmm, so no errors and a new mode added? | 04:02 |
| eblume | wildgoose: Yup. I also tried the mode listed on that thread I linked with a new name this time, and also no flicker on the screen. | 04:03 |
| dex_ | iso files mounting like this - sudo mount file.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop | 04:03 |
| usr13 | whyameye: What ever network-manager is doing, (which I'm not really sure), must be the problem. Are you attaining internet connection on this machine via wlan0? | 04:03 |
| eblume | wildgoose: I'm assuming I just need to run those three commands and the screen should, in theory, start showing a desktop? | 04:03 |
| whyameye | usr13: yes | 04:03 |
| dex_ | maybe is some way to mount an archive? | 04:03 |
| zykotick9_ | dex_, can't be done for just anything | 04:03 |
| usr13 | whyameye: What I think you are going to have to do is turn off network-manager | 04:03 |
| whyameye | usr13: if I kill Network Manager it's a pretty sure bet I'm going to lose my wifi. NM stores encryption settings for example | 04:04 |
| whyameye | usr13: do you not use Network Manager? It's part of ubuntu-desktop, no? | 04:04 |
| usr13 | whyameye: Is it an encrypted connection? | 04:04 |
| whyameye | usr13: yes | 04:04 |
| eblume | wildgoose: many thanks for the help by the way | 04:04 |
| === ximpul_ is now known as ximpul | ||
| usr13 | whyameye: I suppose you could try ditching netwrok-manager for wicd I don't know if that will fix it but you could give it a try. (I'm with you on guessing all those three scripts network-manager is running must be some sort of magic.) But I'm not sure. Would have to look at them and see. | 04:06 |
| eblume | wildgoose: It seems I keep hearing about using the -intel or -ati modes or drivers, but I haven't a clue how to set this. All I can say about drivers is that this box is using an embedded intel chipset, and it worked for my desktop monitor (HDMI1) out of the box. | 04:06 |
| whyameye | usr13: well if NM were the problem you'd think it would be all over the 'net. Weird | 04:07 |

| xp3rt | what's up. | 04:10 |
| usr13 | whyameye: I suppose you could try and switch to wicd (but be prepared to have to switch back again if it doesn't work). i.e. sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager | 04:10 |
| CarlosTico | samba problem.... not broadcasting the name to the other machines | 04:10 |

| usr13 | but maybe that's what it takes... | 04:11 |
| usr13 | whyameye: No, I use wicd | 04:11 |
| xp3rt | MonkeyDust , after eight you will let me know ;) or thats the name of the package | 04:12 |

| xp3rt | ok thanks. | 04:12 |
| usr13 | whyameye: I don't know if that's the problem, but like I said, you can try and switch to wicd and see if that fixes it. Or, you could temporarily turn off the encryption on the router and see if that fixes it. | 04:13 |
| xp3rt | basically i just need the fastest way to connect to wifi... for my TP-LINK G and N card | 04:13 |
| yaaase | I have ubuntu installed already - anyone know ubuntu hides a copy of its installation .iso anywhere, or if this can be recreated without downloading it again? Internet speed is terribly slow right now and I need to install on another box | 04:14 |
| usr13 | whyameye: wicd seems to work just as well as far as I can tell. | 04:14 |
| driller_work | yaaase: no, there is no .iso on your current system unless you put it there. | 04:14 |
| urlin2u | yaaase, this a wubi? | 04:14 |
| yaaase | driller_work: ok I kinda figured. I can't recreate one from within ubuntu can I? | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | xp3rt: the fastest way is with the conf files, no need for apps to setup the files if it's already done. | 04:14 |
| yaaase | urlin2u: no, standard ubuntu install | 04:14 |
| xp3rt | sweet ActionParsnip | 04:14 |
| super_guest | hi i'm having a problem with dhcpd3-server, and i was wondering if i can start networking earlier before dhcp starts | 04:14 |
| driller_work | yaaase: sure you can, you can create a .iso out of your current system; although, how it will run on your second system I don't dare answering. | 04:14 |
| xp3rt | ActionParsnip, may I PM you? | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | xp3rt: its a bit harder to setup and very oldschool, won't make the connection faster though | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | xp3rt: I've given all I know. There are guides online on how to do it | 04:15 |
| yaaase | driller_work: o_o ... so I take it that would be a bad idea then | 04:15 |
| driller_work | super_guest: yes, edit the dhcp init.d to do the networking part before setting up the dhcp server | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | xp3rt: there is also wifi-radar as another GUI alternative to wicd / network manager, wicd also has wicd-curses which will allow you to configure it in CLI with a nice curses UI | 04:16 |
| driller_work | yaaase: yes most likely, although, if you willing to - you can get it to work; it could be easy as pie or a big hassle. | 04:16 |
| xp3rt | ok, cool. thanks.... | 04:16 |
| urlin2u | yaaase, you could try http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ or clonezilla, | 04:16 |
| whyameye | usr13: I used to use wicd and I liked that there wasn't any magic, I could get what was going on. But then I had troubles with it and tried to go more "out of the box" with ubuntu. Yeah I'll probably try it. I'm not getting anywhere as it is | 04:16 |
| super_guest | driller_work: i have it started earlier, however | 04:17 |
| super_guest | the network services are starting really late | 04:17 |
| urlin2u | yaaase, the first can make a install iso like the original I believe. | 04:17 |
| super_guest | and when dhcp tries to start, it fails | 04:17 |
| yaaase | urlin2u: awesome, thank you!! | 04:17 |
| driller_work | super_guest: then add a sleep to allow the networking-part do its thing; then once it has, execute the start of the dhcp server. | 04:17 |
| urlin2u | yaaase, its pretty cool I made abackup just for fun of my installed setup works great, normally I use clonezilla. | 04:18 |
| xp3rt | by the way all, I'm totally new here... I'm a linux noob. so please be patient with me. thanks. | 04:19 |

| truesky | or vlc player | 04:37 |
| truesky | I keep getting missing plugin every time | 04:37 |
| truesky | and of course firefox works just fine | 04:37 |
| truesky | and there is not many answers online about this | 04:38 |

| truesky | urlin2u 11.04 | 04:43 |
| truesky | urlin2u chromium 12.0.742.112 | 04:44 |
| urlin2u | truesky, some of the codecs listed are already installed the rest are in the restricted, totem has it's limitations as well vlc or smplayer is what I use. divx not sure. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 04:45 |

| ActionParsnip | truesky: https://www.msu.edu/~kellerj/test/experiment.htm does that work? | 04:48 |
| truesky | urlin2u right. I do have restricted already installed as well. the problem is that i get a missing plugin in chromium or chrome. like it does not start the programs themselves to watch any type of avi video. FF works just fine. a similar plugin I have to use at work is citrix. works fine in FF but in chrome is like is not installed | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | truesky: works here in Chromium 15.0.871.0 on Oneiric :) | 04:48 |

| imsorry | hath hadies frozen over? | 04:51 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip that's correct. it works fine with FF though. is just chrome/chromium giving me this error. same thing with the citrix plugin | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | _cb: do other apps make the mouse behave the same, or even other browsers? | 04:52 |

| truesky | ActionParsnip ok | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | seclm193: just copy the whole command as I gave it and it will work. Why are you cutting it up at all? | 05:08 |
| varnie | I want to leave all the rest of space into 'separate' partition | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | varnie: how much RAM do you have? | 05:08 |
| _cb | Bede, I have not played with LTSP. If you are interested in that kind of thing take a look at http://nomachine.com. | 05:08 |
| varnie | 1 GB | 05:08 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip Wow, that did it! | 05:09 |
| seclm193 | ActionParsnip: i did. I will take a screenshot of it if you want | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | varnie: 10Gb Ext4 for /. 2Gb for swap, the rest for /home | 05:09 |
| varnie | and what about /boot? | 05:09 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip Awesome man! that worked like a charm!!! :D:D | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | truesky: sweet :):) | 05:09 |
| seclm193 | ActionParsnip: nvm, i saw the link. http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=591555442dc14da4645ba157aea34ab94b12d950 | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | seclm193: no need, just run the script and select to upload to the server, it will generate a URL | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | seclm193: sweet | 05:09 |
| varnie | what will be if I'll reinstall ubuntu later? it'd erase that /home with my data | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | truesky: more than one plugin for the same job usually confuses apps, so giving only one option makes things OK. I'd test firefox too | 05:10 |

| truesky | ActionParsnip im on it | 05:10 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip yeah its working there too. how cool. thank you for it. Now, I only have the citrix plugin to make it work | 05:11 |

| ActionParsnip | truesky: great :) | 05:12 |
| varnie | is "extended" partition the same as "logical" one? | 05:12 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip ok, now citrix is doing it | 05:12 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip well, actually it always has done it | 05:12 |
| llutz_ | varnie: no need for sep /boot. 30 GB / including /home, 2 GB swap if you want to use hibernation, rest for /data | 05:12 |
| llutz_ | varnie: an extended partition holds logical drives | 05:13 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip never figured out how to make that work on chrome | 05:13 |
| _cb | SIFTU how would I check that? (I suspect that could be the reason) | 05:13 |

| Bede | anyone know how to connect to xterm using ubuntu thin client? | 05:13 |
| SIFTU | _cb: then look under the used column for swap | 05:14 |
| varnie | llutz_, what about the following scheme: 10GB for / (ext4), then comes the extended partition which has: /home 10GB, swap 2GB and ext4 for all space left. | 05:14 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip the console gives me: Resource interpreted as Other but transferred with MIME type undefined. | 05:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Bede: do you mean on a remote system? | 05:14 |
| _cb | SIFTU just run that command on my machine. Imagine having a swap number is a good thing | 05:15 |
| llutz_ | varnie: seems fine, i just dont see the sense of /home if you have a spare /data-partition. but do as you like | 05:15 |
| ActionParsnip | truesky: is the citrix .so file into the chrome plugins folder? | 05:15 |
| ActionParsnip | varnie: Is it to be installed in softraid? | 05:15 |
| urlin2u | varnie, thats fine I would put all of it in a exteneded . | 05:15 |
| Bede | ActionPartner: basically i have a T50 client device and i would like to know how i would go about with connecting to xterm | 05:15 |
| SIFTU | _cb: not really.. if used = 0 then thats a good thing | 05:16 |
| varnie | llutz_, I'll store all sensible data into it. so I won' change it when I'll consider to, say, reinstall Ubuntu (in other words, my data leaves untouched) | 05:16 |
| Bede | sorry i mean ActionParsnip | 05:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Bede: sure but is it the xterm on a server | 05:16 |
| varnie | ActionParsnip, no softraid | 05:16 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip good question. let me check. | 05:16 |
| SIFTU | _cb: depending on your swappiness number a little number isnt too bad | 05:16 |
| ActionParsnip | varnie: then why a seperate /boot ? | 05:16 |
| Bede | ActionParsnip: Yes that is true.. xterm is on the server | 05:16 |
| === hugo is now known as Guest62343 | ||
| varnie | I already understood there's no need for separate /boot. | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Bede: then you can run a terminal and SSH to the server. Is that what you mean? | 05:17 |
| varnie | how to create extended partition? In the Ubuntu 10.10 install there're only two options: primary and logical one | 05:17 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip how do you know what .so are installed in firefox. i don't know the name of the citrix extension but my guess it is not in chromium folder | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | varnie: I believe its the same | 05:18 |
| llutz_ | varnie: use logical, it will create the extended automatically | 05:18 |
| ActionParsnip | truesky: try: about:plugins | 05:18 |
| Bede | ActionParsnip: i think you're on the right track as i have read something about this.. but i am still unsure how. | 05:18 |
| tasslehoff | upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, Update Manager says "this is still a beta release" or something like that. I bet that's a lie :) | 05:18 |
| varnie | llutz_, / will be primary, /home, swap, and my_data_partition will be logical, correct? | 05:18 |
| _cb | SIFTU will check next time I visit my friend. Imagine that if number is too big solution is to add memory. | 05:18 |

| ubottu | wyzegye: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | wyggler2: gnome3 will break your OS | 05:55 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip yeah I don't need to reinstall the whole system back again for a small thing like that | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | truesky: if it doesn't work you can simply copy back the files you changed | 05:56 |
| wyzegye | well for one i'm using mint 11, and i can boot up recovery and "startx" and all is well. it's just an inconvenience | 05:56 |
| gentoo-intel | wyzegye, neither of them are supported | 05:57 |
| gentoo-intel | lol | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | wyzegye: then you should ask in the mint channel, this is ubuntu support | 05:57 |
| soreau | ! mint | wyzegye | 05:57 |
| ubottu | wyzegye: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 05:57 |
| wyzegye | i've asked there. it's dead. they're practically the same thing though | 05:58 |
| wyzegye | nobody has anything they could recommend off the top of their head? | 05:58 |
| gentoo-intel | wyzegye, the thing is, ubuntu comes preinstalled with a DE. its not gnome 3 | 05:58 |
| gentoo-intel | and i hear it breaks | 05:58 |
| truesky | ActionParsnip Anyways, thank you for the help with the video thing, it was getting really annoying to being able to use video on chrome | 05:58 |
| soreau | wyzegye: Even if you were using ubuntu, we cant help you with gnome3 because its not supported | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | wyzegye: then be patient in the mint channel. Your distro is offtopic here as it is not an official canonical release | 05:59 |
| soreau | wyzegye: And as youve been told, it probably broke your system into an unrepairable state | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | wyzegye: if you want gnome3 SOOO badly, install Ubuntu Oneiric (not Mint) and you will be fully supported here once it is released at the end of next month | 06:00 |
| diverdude | Hello. I am running ubuntu 11.04 on my T410 LENOVO laptop. When i want to increase/decrease screen brightness i press Fn+Home/End, which actually shows the brightness bar increasing/decreasing in top right corner, but the actual screen brightness remains unchanged. What could be wrong? | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | wyzegye: until then it is supported in #ubuntu+1 | 06:00 |
| soreau | diverdude: could be a graphics driver issue | 06:00 |
| diverdude | soreau, yes that is also my guess...How could i locate the problem and fix it? | 06:01 |
| soreau | diverdude: Your best bet would probably be to ask in the appropriate channel for your driver | 06:01 |
| REK_007 | soreau: on rescue mode it says Radeon Acceleration initialization failed | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | diverdude: does it have that dual GPU fiasco? | 06:01 |
| wyzegye | well thanks for the "help" | 06:01 |
| diverdude | ActionParsnip, hmm i am not to sure what you mean? | 06:01 |
| soreau | REK_007: You arent going to have 3D with the open drivers on that old 2.6.32 kernel | 06:01 |

| ranjan_ | hi , is it possible to change permissions without using chmod | 06:02 |
| soreau | REK_007: Did X booting regularly? | 06:02 |
| REK_007 | soreau: no | 06:02 |
| diverdude | ActionParsnip, yws it does | 06:02 |
| soreau | REK_007: Pastebin your X log then | 06:02 |
| diverdude | ActionParsnip, yes | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ranjan_: you can chown too to set ownership,this will simply change the current owner and they will get the current access which is set with chmod | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | diverdude: oh god, they are such a headache. | 06:03 |
| diverdude | ActionParsnip, why is that? | 06:03 |
| ranjan_ | ActionParsnip, no, i was asking about altering file persmiisons without using chmod | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | diverdude: optimus doesn't work too well afaik, I've not seen a single success story. The only thing I know of it is that 'bumblebee' may be able to switch it. | 06:04 |
| ranjan_ | ActionParsnip, i think acl will work isnt it? | 06:04 |
| diverdude | ActionParsnip, what is optimus and bumblebee? | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ranjan_: I believe you need to use chmod. I don't personally know of any other way. Maybe others can advise | 06:04 |
| diverdude | ActionParsnip, except for transformers :D | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | diverdude: optimus is the technology used to have dual GPUs as far as I know, bumblebee is a project to try and make it work. | 06:05 |

You REALLY need to add the basic information you can when you first ask a question rather than something so basic as "My sound doesn't work" You have a myriad of different stuff we needed to know which you simply didn't tell us til I started asking | 06:14 |

| ActionParsnip | !checkinstall | osse | 06:47 |
| ubottu | osse: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 06:47 |
| llutz_ | skpl: did you address the server sometimes by different IPs or hostnames? | 06:47 |

| osse | ActionParsnip, brilliant! Thank you! I guess this is a common question since ubotto's got it covered :) | 06:49 |

| Guest64685 | My home server just died, It has a software raid 5 array on it. | 07:23 |
| Guest64685 | How do I go about getting my files back? | 07:23 |
| Jragon | Hi | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest64685: use your backups is the easiest way | 07:24 |
| greg3000 | Anyone good with ATI video card setup? I had it working good in 10.04 LTS, but now not good in 11.04. I don't know why it could be | 07:24 |
| Guest64685 | backups.... That's why I was running raid... The data isn't all that important... | 07:26 |
| Guest64685 | Just if I could get it back easily... its worth it. | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest64685: a lot of corporate servers use RAID and have a nightly backup of their data. | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest64685: you could recreate the array in livecD and access it | 07:27 |
| Guest64685 | yeah, well. This was my home server. | 07:27 |
| Guest64685 | Ahh... LiveCD... perfect. | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest64685: then more reason to have a backup if it's a server | 07:27 |

| GhostWolf | hi all, got a question, is chromium web browser same as Google Chrome? or different? and aslo if it is different i downloaded and tired to install the stable version of google chrome, and it was able to do install or try to install via ubuntu's software center, and i click install authenticate it and when it goes it has the install button again after it looks like its going and tells me to install this only if you trust it | 07:29 |
| GhostWolf | anyone help? | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | GhostWolf: chromium is the open version, they use the bugs reported in chromium and occasionally take a snapshot, then make it stable and name it chrome | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | GhostWolf: chrome in software centre is a game afaik, chromium-browser will install the open source browser, you will need the google repo to install chrome | 07:31 |
| GhostWolf | ActionParsnip, ok, but what bout the one i downloaded? it keeps coming up to have me install it but have saying trust it | 07:31 |

| no_gravity | Hi, i have Ubuntu 10 and want to run a mono app. What do I have to do? | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | no_gravity: how are you installing it | 07:32 |
| no_gravity | ActionParsnip: I used the Download link here: https://github.com/trafassel/Gestaltlupe | 07:33 |
| no_gravity | ActionParsnip: it gave me a zip file. in it are a ton of files. some are exe files. | 07:33 |
| GhostWolf | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/yyy4tCQh | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | no_gravity: I think you just need the mono package | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | GhostWolf: ok looks good, no errors orwarnings :) | 07:36 |
| no_gravity | ActionParsnip: Ok, and then I do what? | 07:36 |
| no_gravity | ActionParsnip: "apt-get install mono" tells me it cant find the package. | 07:36 |

Harvesting foreskins is worth billions of dollars to the U.S. economy every year, and we don't have to worry about China beating us in this field too, because they don't practice routine infant circumcision. | 07:39 |

| theadmin | When using apt-get to match against a regular expression, how to tell it to *exclude* specific packages? Say, I want ubuntu.* to include "ubuntu-restricted-extras" but EXCLUDE "ubuntu-desktop" (just as an example, the actual situation includes too many packages to list) | 08:30 |
| Younder | What is this migration/? running on my computer?? | 08:31 |
| nze | how do i cut of a file at a certain line that i can regexp-match? | 08:31 |
| pierre_ | hi | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: grep -v will in(v)ert the grep (find things hich aren't what you grep for) | 08:33 |
| pierre_ | i am using ubuntu lucid as guest on xen 4.0 and when i migrate to natty it setups grub2 and i lose my pygrub boot... | 08:33 |
| pierre_ | is there a way to make it skips grub2 install during mirgration to natty? | 08:33 |
| Younder | pierre_, no | 08:34 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: How could I use grep for this, though? | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Uatec[Ubuntu]: you can run: sudo do-release-upgrade -d and go from natty to oneiric asit is the (d)evelopment (unstable) branch | 08:34 |
| pierre_ | I tried to purge it afterward and ut grub-legacy back but it is not working | 08:34 |
| Younder | pierre_, and indeed that wouldbe ill adviced | 08:34 |
| pierre_ | Younder, I tried several time and it doesn't work.. | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: if you have a list of packages,or have an installed OS you want to clone you can use the !clone factoid then grep etc the packages | 08:35 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Well, APT supports (basic) regular expressions to match against. So, "ubuntu.*" would match all packages starting with "ubuntu". How would I go about doing the same, but removing ubuntu-desktop out of that list? | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: dpkg -l | grep '^ubuntu' | grep -v ubuntu-desktop | 08:36 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: That matches only installed packages. | 08:37 |
| Younder | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 see grub1 vs. grub2 | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: hmm,the version numbers have the word ubuntu in | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: gimme a sec | 08:37 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Again, that's only ever helpful for installed packages, I need to search the whole apt-cache out, hmm... | 08:38 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: I probably would want to use apt-cache search + awk, then. | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: dpkg -l | awk '{ print $2 }' | grep ubuntu | grep -v ubuntu-desktop | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: if you want to change dpkg -l for apt-cache search it should be ok | 08:40 |
| wildbat | if it support regex, just "^ubuntu" | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | apt-cache search . | awk '{ print $1 }' | grep ubuntu | grep -v ubuntu-desktop | 08:41 |

| tasslehoff | I can enter a website in firefox, but don't get any response on ping (this is a site that should answer) | 08:43 |
| ikonia | tasslehoff: got to be a firewall | 08:44 |
| ikonia | tasslehoff: or your browsing the web with a proxy | 08:44 |
| Younder | tasslehoff, no, it does'nt have to. It can be blocked by the firewall | 08:44 |
| Younder | tasslehoff, I wards off some script kiddies from further examining your machines | 08:45 |
| tasslehoff | ikonia: Younder: it happened after I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04. | 08:46 |
| tasslehoff | Younder: you mean a default firewall in 11.04? | 08:46 |
| Younder | tasslehoff, ufw? That's basically iptables | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tasslehoff: tried another browser? | 08:47 |

| Younder | tasslehoff, on the command line try to ping it | 08:49 |
| wildbat | !ask| SNSK | 08:49 |
| ubottu | SNSK: 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. :-) | 08:49 |
| SNSK | how can i make all applications to be always online even there is no connection in networ manager | 08:50 |
| tasslehoff | Younder: that's what I did before my initial Q :) I get no reply on a command line ping. | 08:50 |
| tasslehoff | I'll check if our network admin have done some funky stuff | 08:50 |
| ikonia | tasslehoff: then it's being firewalled | 08:50 |
| Younder | tasslehoff, and uou just did ufw enable? | 08:51 |
| tasslehoff | ikonia: perhaps I got a new IP when I upgraded | 08:51 |
| tasslehoff | Younder: no, haven't touched it. | 08:51 |
| wildbat | SNSK: don't use network manager then ~ config the /etc/network/interfaces | 08:52 |
| mrjbar | anyone here running Ubuntu on a macbook? | 08:52 |
| Younder | tasslehoff, well you should.. anyhow ping is port 23 | 08:52 |
| ikonia | ping is not a port, it's icmp | 08:53 |
| SNSK | wildbat, okay you tell me what to edit in /etc/network/interfaces | 08:53 |
| Younder | so just log into te machine and check ising fstat if the proes is connected and working | 08:53 |

| ikonia | Younder: it doesn't have to be on his machine, it could be on the remote machine, a firewall in between or the router he goes out of | 08:56 |

| Dobuntu | I have an issue where wget only works if I sudo... This comes after a failed attempt at getting squid3 running (I aborted). Anyone know how I might be able to fix? | 08:56 |

| thinced | xosuitehearts: cdrom is writeprotected thoug you can't write anything into it, except burning | 09:05 |

| xosuitehearts | thinced so what exactly does mounting and unmounting mean? | 09:06 |
| xosuitehearts | thinced, is it giving me that message because the media I have in it is write protected? | 09:07 |
| xosuitehearts | thinced mounting it and unmounting wouldnt really have much affect? | 09:07 |
| SNSK | wildbat, my network manager cannot connect to my 3g phone, i tried a lot so i have to use ponpoff method | 09:07 |
| SNSK | llutz, i have internet, but since my network manager does not recognize it it shows a dimond and evolution takes it as there is no connection and atays offline, everything works fine if i uninstall my network manager' | 09:08 |
| llutz_ | SNSK: then why don't you just remove network-manager? | 09:08 |
| wildbat | SNSK, just add nameserver back you should be fine. since you can ping 8.8.8.8. ps. you can use 8.8.8.8 as your DNS override. | 09:09 |
| llutz_ | SNSK: theres wicd (wifi) and /etc/network/interfaces (wired), no need for nm at all | 09:09 |
| tasslehoff | ikonia: Younder: ping was indeed blocked in our firewall, and pidgin didn't work because it tried to use Gnome Proxy settings. | 09:09 |
| SNSK | llutz, i do that, but i was wondering if any of you people can give me simple edit in configuration files to make my problem solve | 09:10 |

| llutz_ | c_nick: "source ~/.profile" or ". ~/.profile" | 10:25 |
| c_nick | llutz ./profile is in $HOME right ? | 10:26 |
| llutz_ | c_nick: or restart your terminal to let the changes take effect | 10:26 |
| c_nick | llutz i got this PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH:$HOME/android-sdk/platform-tools" | 10:29 |
| zeroality | hello, i am trying to install ubuntu on my other machine (this is my first time using linux) but when i finished the installation and rebooted | 10:29 |
| c_nick | in the .profile | 10:29 |
| zeroality | it said input not supported, and i don't know how to fix this without the monitor working | 10:29 |
| dr_willis | zeroality: did it eventually boot up? | 10:30 |
| MiteshShah | when I start mp3 and video there is no sound in my old pc its works fine in my laptop | 10:30 |
| zeroality | yes it booted up, but said input not supported then the monitor went blank and said 'no signal' | 10:30 |
| MiteshShah | can anyone suggest what to do so ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynux play my sound files | 10:31 |
| llutz_ | c_nick: echo $PATH | 10:31 |
| c_nick | samething | 10:31 |
| dr_willis | zeroality: well one issue can be the grub menu using a resilution the monitor cant handel. | 10:32 |
| Younder | I recomment htop sudo apt-get install htop | 10:32 |
| zeroality | how can i fix that? | 10:32 |
| zeroality | @me younder? | 10:32 |
| zeroality | my monitor is rated for 1280x1024 max | 10:32 |
| llutz_ | c_nick: have you issued one of these commands? "source ~/.profile" or ". ~/.profile" | 10:32 |
| zeroality | i'm using 1152x864 on my windows machine atm | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | zeroality: if you see no desktop after grub autostarts after 10 sec or so. would be your video drivers | 10:33 |
| Younder | zeroality, it should default to 800*600 | 10:33 |
| jrtech | zeroality: Desktop or laoptop? | 10:33 |
| zeroality | oic | 10:33 |
| zeroality | ok ill try | 10:33 |

| zeroality | i appreciate it | 10:35 |
| ynick | is ubuntu faster than windows? | 10:36 |
| Younder | ynick, yes | 10:36 |
| zHammeRz | depends on the hardware | 10:36 |
| Younder | zHammeRz, on what hardware is windows faster? | 10:36 |
| ynick | how do i install ubuntu ? | 10:37 |
| zHammeRz | don't know..but certainly not mine | 10:37 |
| ynick | on a computer which is running on windows? | 10:37 |
| c_nick | llutz i went to $HOME and there i unhid the hidden files and double clicked on the .profiles and edited the same | 10:37 |
| erik1984 | ynick: search for Wubi installation | 10:37 |
| ynick | ok | 10:38 |
| Younder | ynick, you install the Disc and follow the instructions | 10:38 |
| ynick | ok | 10:38 |
| Younder | ynick, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 10:38 |
| ynick | can i install ubuntu on windows and still achieve the enhanced speed? | 10:39 |
| Younder | ynick, yes | 10:40 |
| ynick | ok | 10:40 |
| Dmole | beside windows yes, in windows less so | 10:40 |
| erik1984 | ynick: only harddisk operations might be a little slower iirc | 10:40 |
| Younder | ynick, but you run either or | 10:40 |
| ynick | or? | 10:40 |
| soreau | ynick: If you use wubi, it will be slower than the alternative | 10:40 |
| Younder | ynick,one OS at a time | 10:41 |
| dr_willis | wubi can be problematic. i reccinend a normal install instead of wubi | 10:41 |
| soreau | ynick: best way is to install it normally from the live session | 10:41 |
| Dmole | +1 for dual boot | 10:41 |
| ynick | ok | 10:41 |
| dr_willis | if you just want to test ubuntu. wubi or virtualbox are handy | 10:41 |
| Younder | Dmole, what is a dual boot? | 10:42 |
| soreau | Younder: means having two oses installed, selectable at boot time | 10:42 |
| Dmole | Younder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 10:42 |
| Younder | soreau, I know. | 10:42 |
| crshbndct | hey, if i run update-grub from a live cd, will that restore my grub installation? | 10:43 |
| Younder | soreau, but that +1 thing makes no sense | 10:43 |
| soreau | apparently not or you wouldnt have asked | 10:43 |
| soreau | Younder: +1 typically indicated agreement | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | crshbndct: if you do it right | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | !fixgrub | 10:44 |

| hallgeirg | ynick: yes, use the liveCD | 10:47 |
| Younder | ynick, yes | 10:47 |
| Xdept | ynick, Put the CD in when you are booted in windows | 10:47 |
| Younder | ynick, you will then have dual boot | 10:47 |
| ynick | what is live CD? | 10:48 |
| Younder | Xdept, Iam assuming he installs it, not just runs it from disk | 10:48 |
| no_gravity | Hello! I downloaded the google chrome deb and tried to install it with "dpkg -i". but it tells me "package xdg-utils is not installed". what did i do wrong? | 10:48 |
| bastidrazor | no_gravity: did you try and install xdg-utils with apt-get? | 10:49 |
| Younder | no_gravity, sudo pat-get install xdg-itils | 10:49 |
| dr_willis | Younder: live cd can run from the cd . no install needed | 10:49 |
| no_gravity | maybe im on a 64 bit box? how do i find out if i run a 32 bit or a 64 bit ubuntu? | 10:49 |
| topspeed | hay | 10:49 |
| Younder | dr_willis, I know | 10:49 |
| topspeed | whats up? | 10:49 |
| Xdept | Younder, Loading the Disk in Windows will let you Dual Boot it. | 10:49 |
| no_gravity | bastidrazor, Younder: no, i could do that. i just wanted to ask here first if i do something completely wrong. | 10:49 |
| bastidrazor | no_gravity: uname -m | 10:49 |
| no_gravity | bastidrazor: i686 | 10:50 |

| no_gravity | ok, i try to install the xdg thingy then | 10:50 |
| no_gravity | jrtech: but i thought dependencies are handled outomatically? | 10:50 |
| bastidrazor | no_gravity: its just telling you what other packages are need for the chrome.deb to work | 10:50 |
| no_gravity | bastidrazor: has dpkg a switch to install all needed dependencies? | 10:51 |
| bastidrazor | no_gravity: only when using a package manager like apt-get or synaptic. | 10:51 |
| ptkubuntu | need help with bluetooth dial up please guys | 10:51 |
| no_gravity | bastidrazor: can i tell apt-get to install the deb file? | 10:51 |
| MiteshShah | how to know that my pc is 32 bit or 64 bit also if my pc is 32 bit then which linux version is good for me like i386 686 or x86_63 | 10:51 |
| dr_willis | no_gravity: gdebi foo.deb does do that | 10:51 |
| Younder | ptkubuntu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup | 10:51 |
| no_gravity | dr_willis: ok, let me try that | 10:51 |
| no_gravity | dr_willis: i dont have gdebi | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | MiteshShah: whats your cpu? | 10:52 |

| no_gravity | dr_willis: i installed the xdg thing now and now chrome installed | 10:53 |
| MiteshShah | dr_willis: can you give me command that help me | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | no_gravity: gdebi is worth remembering | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | MiteshShah: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 10:54 |
| erik1984 | MitesShah: Are you in Ubuntu now? lscpu gives you information about the processor | 10:54 |
| Younder | ptkubuntu, incidentally your phone IS recognized by ubuntu | 10:54 |
| MiteshShah | dr_willis: its Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz | 10:55 |
| Younder | MiteshShah, a so so cpu and.. | 10:56 |
| llutz_ | MiteshShah: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo | 10:57 |
| Younder | MiteshShah, you need to us the 32 bit version | 10:57 |
| ptkubuntu | http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/connect-micromax-q5-bluetooth-modem-ubuntu-1104/ | 10:58 |
| ptkubuntu | stilll does not solve my problem | 10:58 |
| ptkubuntu | Younter:can you help | 10:58 |
| MiteshShah | Younder: llutz_: how to know its 32 bit or not that's my question? I don't like ask every time to this community when some 1 ask me which is good ubuntu for their pc that's why I want to know how to tell those people that 32 bit is good 4 you are cpu or 64 bit is good or x86_64 | 11:00 |
| llutz_ | MiteshShah: grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo checks for "lm" = longmode=64bit flag. lscpu also tells you 32/64 | 11:01 |
| Younder | MiteshShah, I know it only supports 32 bit despite of EM64' | 11:01 |
| Younder | MiteshShah, I had one myself | 11:02 |
| MiteshShah | Younder: llutz_: when running grep its show nothing but lscpu shows Architecture: i686 | 11:03 |
| MiteshShah | CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit | 11:03 |
| Younder | MiteshShah, you need to us the 32 bit version | 11:03 |
| llutz_ | MiteshShah: grep " lm " gives nothing on 32bit-cpu, thats right | 11:03 |
| Lanoultra | Hi, I have a question regarding how to auto shutdown ubuntu clients during the night. Can I ask here? | 11:04 |
| MiteshShah | Younder: llutz_: again confusion which ubuntu download 32bit or i686? | 11:04 |
| llutz_ | MiteshShah: i686 is 32bit | 11:04 |
| Hoatzin | Hi all, I just installed a new version with Nautilus as default file manager. I always used Dolphin under Gnome but I now see it needs 230 MB space for installing. Can I reduce that amount ? | 11:04 |
| Younder | MiteshShah, 32 | 11:04 |
| llutz_ | MiteshShah: amd64 would be 64bit | 11:04 |
| glebihan | Hoatzin, no | 11:04 |
| Younder | llutz, who cares THAT is NOT what he has | 11:05 |
| glebihan | Hoatzin, it will require to install a lot Qt libraries not installed by default in gnome, that's why it's using that mush space | 11:05 |
| MiteshShah | Younder: llutz_: some linux provides 32 bit iso download and some also have i386 or i686 iso to download so I think i686 and 32 bit both iso works fine 4 me on this pc? | 11:05 |
| Younder | llutz, he has a Intel Celleron 2.4 GHZ | 11:05 |
| Lanoultra | I've been tasked with making sure the computers in the students workroom are turned of at night. I think setting a boot time in BIOS to start them up in the morning and a cronjob running the shutdown command at 5 pm. Is this the best solution? What if some students are staying late and the machine suddenly shuts down and they lose all their work? The machines are running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, hardware: Dell CX280, pentium4. There is no | 11:05 |
| Hoatzin | glebihan: Thanks, then Dolphin will be my most expensive app, np. Thanks | 11:05 |
| glebihan | Hoatzin, you're welcome | 11:06 |
| Hoatzin | Have a good day all | 11:06 |
| llutz_ | MiteshShah: right, as i said: refuse to get amd64 or ia64, all other namings should be ok | 11:06 |
| Younder | MiteshShah, should be fine | 11:06 |
| MiteshShah | Younder: llutz_: yes I have Intel Celleron 2.4 GHZ architect i386 and cpu os mode 32 bit | 11:07 |
| MiteshShah | Younder: llutz_: thanks a lot I'm always confusing in to tell friends which version to download | 11:08 |
| glebihan | Lanoultra, I think cron is your best option, however we cannot help you on the base decision (is it a good idea to automatically shutdown the computers ?) | 11:09 |
| erik1984 | Lanoultra: I don't if this is possible but maybe you can let the script look if there are any open application outside the default ones always started. | 11:10 |
| z3ro | hello everyone | 11:11 |
| Lanoultra | Thanks, I do want to display a dialog box, that says: Shutdown in 1 hour or press Cancel. Is there a built in options for that in ubuntu? | 11:12 |
| amircx | hey, i got ubuntu 11.4 , how can i downgrade php5.3 to 5.2 ? | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | !info php | 11:14 |
| ubottu | Package php does not exist in natty | 11:14 |
| llutz_ | !info php5 | 11:14 |
| ubottu | php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 (natty), package size 1 kB, installed size 20 kB | 11:14 |
| glebihan | Lanoultra, I don't think there's an option for that, and it's going to be hard to implement with cron, as cron doesn't run inside the desktop environment | 11:14 |
| dr_willis | i imagine you dont normally downgrade php | 11:15 |
| Baarn | hey, i just made a backup of my /home folders and there was a .Trash* folder. is it safe to remove it? | 11:15 |
| amircx | my server at the hosted account is 5.2 | 11:16 |
| amircx | i want the dev to be the same thats the problem | 11:16 |
| dr_willis | !trash | 11:16 |
| ubottu | Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. | 11:16 |
| ynick | can i uninstall wubi after installing it without any problems? | 11:16 |
| bastidrazor | ynick: yes, goto add/remove applications in windows | 11:16 |
| dr_willis | ynick: thats one of its main features | 11:16 |
| ynick | ok | 11:16 |
| Younder | sudo apt-get install php5 apache | 11:17 |
| Baarn | wow... that was no help at all dr_willis | 11:17 |
| Baarn | i mean the /home/.Trash* folder | 11:17 |
| Younder | ynick, use PHP5 then, 4 is not relevant | 11:17 |
| ynick | dr_wills : thank you | 11:18 |
| dr_willis | Baarn: thats an odd location for it. i delete mine all the time | 11:18 |
| Younder | dr_willis, well I don't mine works just fine | 11:18 |
| alex__ | cvtyq | 11:19 |
| dr_willis | Baarn: its above the users home dirs? wonder how it got there | 11:19 |
| Baarn | dr_willis: ok thanks, i will just delete it then, there is some pretty old stuff stored in there and its quite big | 11:19 |
| Baarn | dr_willis: i wondered aswell, just recognized it while doing rsync from my server | 11:20 |
| bastidrazor | Younder: your trash works fine? | 11:20 |
| Younder | dr_willis, It should be in /var/www | 11:20 |
| dr_willis | Younder: what should be? | 11:21 |
| tobiassj1sten | I have a package installed (membase-server) on one machine and I want to install it on another, but it doesn't exist there. Their sources.list and sources.list.d/* looks the same but still nothing. | 11:21 |
| Younder | dr_willis, Iapache files | 11:21 |
| tobiassj1sten | How can I see from what repo a specific package comes from? | 11:21 |
| bastidrazor | tobiassj1sten: apt-cache policy membase-server | 11:21 |
| Younder | tobiassj1sten, It tell you | 11:21 |
| emj | Does anyone know how I can edit boot.ini on Vista from Linux? (fscked up a Wubi installation) | 11:21 |
| Younder | emj, yes | 11:22 |
| bastidrazor | Younder: you're making little sense. | 11:22 |
| ynick | once i install wubi do i have to install my favorate programs in it? | 11:22 |
| dr_willis | emj: its a text file. back it up and use a text editor | 11:22 |
| emj | dr_willis: Ah yes I just can't seem o find boot.ini.. :-) | 11:22 |
| dr_willis | ynick: huh? you install what apps you want same as a normal istall | 11:23 |
| Younder | bastidrazor, what? | 11:23 |
| ynick | dr_wills: ok | 11:23 |
| tobiassj1sten | bastidrazor: Only tells me "/var/lib/dpkg/status". Does that mean it was installed outside of a repo? | 11:24 |
| bastidrazor | Younder: some of your rambling advice is nonsense. | 11:24 |
| emj | dr_willis, Younder: "Vista has a different bootloader and there is no boot.ini file" So any clue how to do it on Vista? | 11:24 |
| bastidrazor | tobiassj1sten: yes | 11:24 |
| Younder | bastidrazor, could you be more concrete? | 11:24 |
| jrib | tobiassj1sten: not necessarily. It just means that you currently do have a repository with the package | 11:25 |
| kaushal__ | Hi | 11:25 |
| dr_willis | emj no idea. i hate wubi | 11:25 |
| kaushal__ | where can i get sun-java6-jdk version 24 deb package for 10.04 ? | 11:25 |
| amircx | geez firefox 4+ is freezes non stop | 11:25 |
| Younder | kaushal__, I did that yesterday | 11:25 |
| benoliver999 | When it's time to move to the next Ubuntu relase in a month or so, does the upgrade process reinstall all the software I got rid of? For example, I don't need evolution, so I uninstalled it. With the 11.10 upgrade, does it come back? | 11:25 |
| benoliver999 | release* | 11:25 |
| kaushal__ | Younder: Any url please ? | 11:26 |
| tobiassj1sten | jrib: You meant I "don't", right? | 11:26 |
| jrib | tobiassj1sten: yes | 11:26 |
| llutz_ | benoliver999: only stuff actually installed would be upgraded | 11:26 |
| Younder | kaushal__, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 11:26 |
| emj | dr_willis: It's surprisingly good actually. I managed to install 50 Ubuntu machines by just using Windows sysadmin tools.. :-) | 11:26 |
| benoliver999 | llutz: Thanks. | 11:26 |
| kaushal__ | Younder: i need .deb package | 11:27 |
| ynick | bfn | 11:27 |
| dr_willis | emj i will pass on it. seen too many issues with it | 11:27 |
| Younder | kaushal__, for what? | 11:27 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 11:27 |

| zackington | hey i have a problem with partitioning a harddrive with linux | 11:28 |
| Younder | zackington, what problem | 11:28 |
| Younder | zackington, you could probaly make due with 5 | 11:29 |
| zackington | well i set 20gb to ext4 for the usual linux space, but i want to set the rest as ntfs but i cant seem to find this feature | 11:29 |
| emj | dr_willis: Such as, would be interesting to know... Anyway I'm just using it as a tool to boot Linux, which it is very good at.. | 11:29 |
| MiteshShah | can I setup local repositary server just like fedora yum and createrepo like in ubuntu? | 11:29 |
| zackington | because i want windows aswell. Will windows install on fat32? | 11:30 |
| sh00p | what partitioner are you using zackington ? | 11:30 |
| sh00p | btw, install windows first, gonna save you some time | 11:30 |
| zackington | when you install linux im using that one | 11:30 |
| Younder | zackington, don't go there. FAT32 i evil | 11:30 |
| tobiassj1sten | jrib, bastidrazor, Younder: Thanks for the help! | 11:30 |
| sh00p | windows will format the rest as ntfs anyway | 11:31 |
| zackington | yeah i know thats why i need ntfs | 11:31 |
| Kentrel | When I play QuakeLive on Firefox in Ubuntu I occassionally lose sound, and can only get it back by restarting Firefox. Could this be a QL issue, FF or Ubuntu? I've had similar sound problems before | 11:31 |
| sh00p | just leave unpartitioned space | 11:31 |
| bastidrazor | tobiassj1sten: you're welcome | 11:31 |
| zackington | yeah it wont let me continue without partioning the rest | 11:31 |
| sh00p | then you're doing something wrong | 11:31 |
| Younder | zackington, It will nol allow files larger than 4Gb which will foul up any video recording | 11:32 |
| bastidrazor | zackington: that doesn't sound like Ubuntu's partition manager. what 'linux' are you installing? | 11:32 |
| zackington | just 11.04 ubuntu | 11:32 |
| sh00p | and have fun booting the livecd to reinstall grub once windows writes over your MBR | 11:32 |
| sh00p | -> install windows first | 11:32 |
| hallgeirg | does anyone know how to remove one dock in AWN ? cause I have multiple copies running and cant seem to close just one.. and when I google it i cant find anything relevant | 11:32 |
| Younder | zackington, then use the partion manager | 11:32 |
| zackington | and the error when i leave the free space is ' no root file system is defined' | 11:32 |
| Younder | zackington, ouch | 11:33 |
| glebihan | zackington, then it has nothing to do with the free space | 11:33 |
| zackington | am i screwed lol? | 11:33 |
| bastidrazor | hallgeirg: ps aux|grep -i avant then pick two of the three PID's to kill | 11:33 |

| glebihan | zackington, you most likely didn't define any partition to mount on / | 11:33 |
| zackington | ahh shit my bad i forgot lol | 11:33 |
| sh00p | then just let ubuntu auto-partition what you left for it form the win install | 11:33 |

| zackington | i was spending hours as a retard lol | 11:34 |

| bastidrazor | hallgeirg: the 2nd number listed in the ps aux command will be its PID number.. kill PID | 11:35 |
| hallgeirg | bastidrazor: thanks | 11:35 |
| Younder | hallgeirg, ps aux | grep name and then kill -9 PID (first entry in PS) | 11:35 |
| bastidrazor | hallgeirg: the first number rather.. 2nd column | 11:35 |

| Younder | bastidrazor, it is a SIGKILL. It will always work | 11:37 |

| bastidrazor | Younder: i know what it is. its a bit harsh to do and doesn't allow things to exit properly | 11:37 |
| sh00p | well, there's something fishy with you harddrive then | 11:37 |
| zackington | yeah i used before to erase it with UBCD but i think that screwed it up... | 11:38 |
| Younder | bastidrazor, true, but then why are you not exiting the normal way. Probably because the program as crashed... | 11:38 |
| hallgeirg | bastidrazor: i do what you told me, and it only kills one icon on the dock | 11:39 |
| Younder | s/as/has/ | 11:39 |
| Younder | hallgeirg, dock? | 11:39 |
| hallgeirg | or rather say it has crashed | 11:39 |
| hallgeirg | Younder: yes AWN | 11:40 |
| bastidrazor | hallgeirg: you could kill them all and restart AWN. killall avant-window-navigator | 11:40 |
| glebihan | Younder, just as a side-note, kill -9 does not *always* work | 11:40 |
| hallgeirg | bastidrazor: ok, i just did that and all 4 docks restarted | 11:41 |

| Younder | hallgeirg, ugh | 11:44 |
| hallgeirg | bastidrazor: ok, then my first question was wrong, | 11:44 |
| bob_ | Hi, I want to make vlc the default program for DVD's, currently it's movie player. How do I do it? | 11:44 |
| bastidrazor | hallgeirg: it appears you have duplicate applets on the dock. | 11:45 |
| hallgeirg | my question is then: how do i fix what you just said.. :) | 11:45 |
| genevieve | I made a mistake regarding the /etc/sudoers | 11:45 |
| ravn | hi folks, I have started to look into using encryption to a higher extent. I noticed that seahorse can store general passwords which seems nice.However, I do not see how I can export these, and how does it work if I need to share them between computers. Anyone know? | 11:45 |
| genevieve | I changed the permissions to something other than 0440 | 11:45 |
| bastidrazor | hallgeirg: right click each unwanted applet and remove from dock | 11:45 |
| genevieve | and the problem is that I can't change it | 11:45 |
| genevieve | As sudoers doesn't work | 11:46 |
| glebihan | genevieve, you'll have to boot on a live CD to correct this | 11:46 |
| llutz_ | genevieve: use a live-cd | 11:46 |
| hallgeirg | bastidrazor: when i rightclick i can choose: dock prefs - quit (closes everything) and about | 11:46 |
| genevieve | http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 11:47 |
| genevieve | I found that online glebihan, llutz_ | 11:47 |
| bastidrazor | hallgeirg: remove the applet | 11:47 |
| genevieve | the problem with this is that GRUB doesn't show on boot | 11:47 |
| genevieve | I hold down shift and nothing happens | 11:48 |
| hallgeirg | bastidrazor: got it.. thanks! | 11:48 |
| genevieve | (it's a single boot OS, on a netbook) | 11:48 |
| bastidrazor | hallgeirg: you're welcome | 11:48 |
| genevieve | (so live CD is kinda out of the question) | 11:48 |
| hallgeirg | bastidrazor: just one more small thing: do you know how to add one to the other monitor? | 11:49 |
| glebihan | genevieve, how about a live USB ? | 11:50 |
| genevieve | well I have an iPod so I could create a live USB out of that | 11:50 |
| glebihan | genevieve, then you should probably try that, just make sure that you can boot from your iPod | 11:52 |

| Younder | MonkeyDust, don't | 12:06 |
| Pici | MonkeyDust: It is perfectly safe. | 12:06 |
| Younder | Pici, no it isn't | 12:07 |
| gregory_ | I know but if someone asks if 11.10 is stable.. it isn't safe to use in production environments.. | 12:07 |
| gregory_ | Cause its still in development | 12:07 |
| Pici | MonkeyDust, Younder: There is nothing inherently unsafe about forwarding port 80. If your website itself is insecure, then thats a whole different issue. | 12:08 |
| Younder | Pici, He doesn't have a webcite. HTTP is the NR 1 source of hacks. Always keep it off cite | 12:09 |
| sastudio | @MonkeyDust make sure permissions in your machine are as they should be. | 12:09 |
| Pici | Younder: You're not making much sense. | 12:10 |

| soreau | amin`: lm-sensors | 12:19 |
| Younder | so don't poit a http server without a second firewall behind it or better have it off-cite | 12:19 |
| OerHeks | Younder, second firewall ? why ? | 12:20 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:20 |
| amin` | soreau, anything else. does it show the tep of hard and cpu ? | 12:20 |
| Younder | OerHeks, HTTP server are the most likely to be hacked | 12:20 |
| Younder | OerHeks, always assume they have | 12:21 |
| OerHeks | Younder, you are making noise, this is not true. | 12:21 |
| soreau | amin`: It attempts to use all sensors it can find afaiu | 12:21 |
| Younder | OerHeks, read the book I mentioned above | 12:21 |
| bastidrazor | Younder: you believe everything you read on the internet? | 12:22 |

| jensp_ | hi! ok to ask about "gave up waiting for root device" here? | 12:23 |
| Younder | jensp_, yes | 12:24 |
| phormUlate | anyone familiar with casper? I'd like to use cifsroot, it is included in the initramfs by default right? | 12:24 |
| soreau | jensp_: usually means you have wrong /etc/mtab or wrong root line in your grub entry | 12:24 |
| Younder | jensp_, though your message is a first to me | 12:24 |
| bastidrazor | amin`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto this goes along with lm-sensors | 12:24 |
| jensp_ | ok. i've reinstalled ubuntu 11.04 and 10.04 lts several times the last few days. last year, i had minor trouble with this happening, on 10.04. | 12:25 |
| jensp_ | the last few weeks, 11.04 would almost never boot. | 12:25 |
| phormUlate | i can just pass kernel codes e.g. "append initrd=casperblah.tar.gz netboot=cifs nfsroot=//somesambaip/share,user=y,pass=z ip=dhcp rootwait" ? | 12:26 |
| Younder | jensp_, did you read the message by sourau above | 12:26 |
| jensp_ | it almost always boots the first time after i have had windows running, but not directly without booting windows first. | 12:26 |
| jensp_ | yes, making a note of it. | 12:26 |
| OerHeks | Younder, your 'book' is from 2003, little outdated, not ? | 12:27 |
| Younder | OerHeks, I would hope so | 12:27 |
| jensp_ | i've edited the grub parameters, removing the entire uuid andreplacing it with root=/dev/sda6, etc. | 12:27 |
| jensp_ | yesterday, i changed the fstab accordingly too. seemed to work fine, until now, when i powered my pc on again | 12:28 |
| soreau | mtab != fstab | 12:28 |
| jensp_ | true, i know, i was not familiar with mtab until you mentioned it | 12:29 |
| phormUlate | any takers? casper bootcode syntax for cifsroot? too lazy to roll my own initramfs | 12:29 |
| amin` | i installed lm-sensors and xsensors its GUI. but it only shows my cpu temp and just one core of it. what is wrong? | 12:29 |
| jensp_ | googled extensively, only saw the suggestion to make the uuid-change in fstab, no mention of mtab, so i'll have to get acquainted with it shortly | 12:29 |
| sastudio | what's the difference in fstab between using UUID and /dev/deviceX | 12:30 |

| eprasad | any advice | 12:37 |
| eprasad | Younder, do you have link? | 12:37 |

| Younder | mosno, nothing is and if it was you would no be able to keep up with it :) | 12:54 |
| mosno | phormUlate & Younder, i mean that there are tools that can show transient processes much better than top/htop, not that they are literally realtime in the strictest sense | 12:55 |
| ServerTechLaptop | thanks. htop is what i wanted ^_^ | 12:55 |
| Younder | ServerTechLaptop, nop | 12:56 |
| phormUlate | monso, not without a rt kernel, nope, but sure... there are better tools | 12:56 |

| edbian | Goldline: We have to put the lib where it goes. I'm not sure where it goes / what package installs it | 13:05 |
| Goldline | edbian nothing showed up with that cmd | 13:05 |
| edbian | Goldline: usually this sort of thing is caused by a wrong version number | 13:05 |
| Pici | Goldline: When are you getting that error? | 13:05 |
| edbian | Goldline: so there is no version of libdb installed at all. | 13:05 |
| Goldline | That file has to be placed in /usr/local/bin isnt? | 13:05 |
| edbian | Goldline: no, /usr/local/bin is for binary files you installed manually | 13:06 |
| edbian | Goldline: It goes in /usr/lib/... probably | 13:06 |

| skule | if unity is the only ui in 11.10, its back to debian for me | 13:17 |
| === dougsko_ is now known as dougsko | ||
| krux | you can just install other gui's | 13:17 |
| lambda_x | skule: y, that seems to be the right decision | 13:18 |
| edbian | skule: lambda_x It isn't the ONLY ui. It is installed by default. | 13:18 |
| usr13 | Goldline: Well, two options, (because we don't know what the program is and what it does): 1) install libdb5* Or: 2) install libdb5.1 | 13:18 |
| c_nick | Younder, basically this started when i ran android ndk-gdb too which is just like gdb .. so first instance started which bugged out then second time it said that error message | 13:18 |
| lambda_x | edbian: rly? then how to install gnome2 ? | 13:19 |
| usr13 | Goldline: You might just try libdb5.1 first | 13:19 |
| c_nick | i dont think boot is responsible | 13:19 |
| skule | edbian, so you can still apt-get install gnome2 or something | 13:19 |
| lambda_x | no packages are available by default | 13:19 |
| edbian | lambda_x: skule I'm not sure about 11.10 (and gnome2) but right now, in 11.04 to get gnome2 log out, click your name, change the session, log in | 13:19 |
| lambda_x | and why this oneconf-service is crashing all the time over and over again | 13:19 |
| usr13 | what is core3 ? | 13:19 |
| mosno | lambda_x: for what it's worth, gnome2 in debian is rather nice (typing this from it now) | 13:19 |
| Goldline | im using this cmd sudo apt-get install libdb5.1 | 13:19 |
| Goldline | (fingers crossed) | 13:20 |
| skule | edbian, ye its no problem in 11.04 | 13:20 |
| edbian | lambda_x: skule I was thinking more about (you know) all the other DEs, namely xfce, kde, awesome, gnome3, etc etc | 13:20 |
| lambda_x | mosno: I know debian, I moved to ubuntu at 8.04 | 13:20 |
| Goldline | that didnt work | 13:20 |
| Goldline | ./core3: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 13:21 |

| * jiltdil hello | 13:21 | |
| temoto | dr_willis, works, thank you. | 13:22 |
| lambda_x | edbian: in 11.04 there is no possibility to switch to gnome classic. when you aptitude install gnome-panel, you will get gnome3, with still broken unity-compiz and broken settings (without possibility to switch theme to anything low-contrast or change your fonts) | 13:22 |
| chirag | hello | 13:22 |
| edbian | lambda_x: in 11.04 (by default) there is a way to switch to gnome 2 (classic) | 13:22 |
| chirag | anyone here? | 13:22 |
| krux | no | 13:23 |
| edbian | lambda_x: furthermore, if you installed gnome3 and cannot log into gnome2 anymore there is a way to undo that and get gnome2 once again | 13:23 |
| krux | :) | 13:23 |

| chirag | i am new to kubuntu here.....and by mistake i removed taskbar | 13:24 |
| chirag | how to get it back? | 13:24 |
| edbian | lambda_x: I've never installed gnome3. I do not know how | 13:24 |

| chirag | how to install flashplayer codec in chromium browser? | 13:25 |
| zykotick9 | edbian, lambda_x I'm pretty sure returning to gnome2 after installing gnome3 is anything but trivial, downgrading package isn't easy. lambda_x see "/msg ubottu gnome3" | 13:25 |
| molqr | dr_willis: i see... so if i have to install on this system then i better burn the alternative cd to the usb drive.. is that right? | 13:26 |

| zapotah | are there any half decent free apache2 gui configuration tools or a browser interface etc? | 13:32 |
| zapotah | would save many hours of work | 13:32 |

| dr_willis | zazi: why are you neding to do this exactly? | 13:32 |
| zazi | yeah, that is why I am asking here :) | 13:32 |
| zazi | my problem is that my dvd drive is broken and that I cannot boot my ubuntu | 13:33 |

| zazi | my dvd drive is sata btw | 13:33 |
| dr_willis | zazi: that disent make much sence. what does it do ? ni grub? no post? | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | zapotah: there's webmin (not advised) and eBox | 13:34 |

| MarcoPau | hi, I just bought a laptop and I need to connect to my wifi with static ip at home, and sometimes be able to use dhcp (mainly at work). Do I need to reconfigure the wlan each time or there's a way to have both configurations available? | 13:34 |
| zapotah | why isnt webmin advised? :D | 13:35 |
| llutz_ | !webmin | 13:35 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 13:35 |
| zazi | dr_willis: yeah, I am really thinking about to unplug it | 13:35 |
| zapotah | :/ | 13:35 |
| KingJohn | MarcoPau: Configuring from the Network Connections window, you can configure settings based on WiFi network names | 13:35 |
| in0cula | hi guys, a wine application crash and all my bar disappeered but i still have firefox shell etc, what command i have to type to refresh the X to get the bar back? | 13:36 |
| dr_willis | zazi: to clarify. the system boots byt hangs at some point? | 13:36 |
| zazi | or I have look again whether I can disable it in the kernel, although I thought that there was not an option for this | 13:36 |
| zapotah | eBox should work no problem? | 13:36 |
| zazi | yep, when it tries to detect the dvd drive | 13:36 |
| MarcoPau | KingJohn: ok, but dhcp or static ip usually has to do with the wireless card and not with the connection settings... do you think it'll work the same? | 13:36 |
| dr_willis | zapotah: try ut | 13:36 |
| zapotah | gotta set up a new vm ---> | 13:37 |
| zapotah | try it out before putting it to production | 13:37 |

| cornelius66 | Hi, googling and experimenting for 3 hours now, problem is a folder exists on ext4 (source) and ntfs (destination), almost identical from a previous manual copy. However doing a dry run, every combination of commands (e.g. rOltDvhu) shows them all syncing, even with size-only and checksum options (only the update timestamp differs), any help appreciated :) | 13:45 |
| cornelius66 | (in rsync) | 13:45 |
| zykotick9 | in0cula, no, there is no way to "refresh" (whatever that mean) everything will a single command - except by logging out or rebooting | 13:46 |
| zykotick9 | cornelius66, syncing ext to ntfs will lose all file permission (POSIX metadata) in the process, not sure it that is related to you timestamp -- but what you're doing is silly. Good luck. | 13:49 |

| chirag_d_gr8 | i installed it with windows | 14:15 |
| usr13 | Goldline: sudo apt-get install irssi | 14:15 |
| {Axxes} | or does somebody know a channel for Wavemaker support? | 14:15 |
| samuel_ | Persona24: if not I'm mistaken there's a distro which I think fit you'r need it's based on ubuntu too | 14:15 |
| samuel_ | i forget the name of the distro | 14:15 |
| {Axxes} | just any help would be nice.. | 14:15 |
| MarcelT3 | Persona24 what dj are you looking for? | 14:15 |
| Pici | Persona24: The folks in #ubuntustudio and #opensourcemusicians probably have better suggestions. | 14:15 |
| Lithos84 | [ | 14:16 |
| usr13 | chirag_d_gr8: Well, I don't know then. You would have to ask someone that knows something about suspend issues in wubi | 14:16 |
| {Axxes} | do you even hear me? | 14:16 |
| usr13 | chirag_d_gr8: I've never used wubi | 14:16 |
| nrdb | Pici, I needed to register... it took me a while to figure out the command needed to do that. | 14:16 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | usr13: dude if i put laptop manually on sleep by going to leave, no problem like this occurs | 14:16 |
| izinucs | {Axxes}: no responses means no answers | 14:17 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | but on putting laptop screen down, whole thing mess | 14:17 |
| Pici | !patience | {Axxes} | 14:17 |
| ubottu | {Axxes}: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 14:17 |
| usr13 | chirag_d_gr8: Then turn off the option to suspend | 14:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Persona24: http://www.musix.org.ar/en/index.html | 14:17 |
| {Axxes} | ok sry I wanst sure if you can hear me Iam new to irc :( | 14:17 |
| === bipolar_ is now known as bipolar | ||
| chirag_d_gr8 | how? sry if i irritate u bcozz i m new here and i dun know where is what | 14:18 |
| {Axxes} | then I will go on with my problem but thx | 14:18 |
| samuel_ | the name of the distro is ubuntustudio | 14:19 |
| samuel_ | http://ubuntustudio.org/ | 14:19 |
| usr13 | chirag_d_gr8: You'll find it in the power save or screensaver options | 14:19 |
| {Axxes} | is it possible to create a shortcut for a terminal command? | 14:19 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | 1 more thing, is usage of .8 gb mem normal, isn't it too high....and moreover just running irc uses 10-15% of my cpu, is it normal? | 14:20 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | win 7 jusst uses like 500 mb ram.... | 14:20 |
| Pici | !ram | chirag_d_gr8 | 14:21 |
| ubottu | chirag_d_gr8: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 14:21 |
| usr13 | chirag_d_gr8: If you are using wubi, you would have to calculate, how much cpu and / or RAM is allocated to wubi | 14:21 |
| usr13 | I'm not a wubi user and I don't know how any of that works. | 14:21 |
| Pici | usr13: It works the same as any other Ubuntu install. | 14:22 |
| usr13 | o | 14:22 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | usr13: u mean a bit of cpu is assigned to linux and a bit to windows? | 14:22 |
| usr13 | Well, I'm just clueless about wubi and wanted to make that clear. | 14:22 |
| Pici | chirag_d_gr8: no, he mispoke. | 14:22 |
| usr13 | chirag_d_gr8: I don't know | 14:22 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | pici: what is meaning of !ram |? | 14:23 |
| Pici | chirag_d_gr8: please look at the message that ubottu said to you above. | 14:23 |
| usr13 | Pici: But if wubi is running and MS Windows is running, there must be some sort of sharing of resources taking place. Right? | 14:23 |
| === Mrono-evil is now known as Mrono | ||
| usr13 | Pici: Or is wubi running independently of MS Windows? | 14:24 |
| Pici | usr13: wubi does not run concurrently with Ubuntu, it merely puts a disk volume in a file on the Windows partition and then boots in to it. | 14:24 |
| Pici | usr13: er, wubi does not run concurrently with Windows* | 14:24 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | Pici: so there is no difference if i install linux using windows or using disc and install it in totally new partition? | 14:25 |
| usr13 | Pici: Ok, I see. | 14:25 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: you get faster HDD access time by a small margin, but that's it | 14:26 |
| usr13 | chirag_d_gr8: Oh, there is a big difference. I do know about that. | 14:26 |
| Pici | chirag_d_gr8: There may be issues in the future with upgrading, as well as expanding your disk size if needed. If you are able to partition I highly suggest that you do that instead. | 14:26 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | Pici: my hp laptop does not allow me to boot using a disc | 14:26 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | i had no other option | 14:27 |
| Pici | chirag_d_gr8: there are many ways to install Ubuntu. | 14:27 |
| MonkeyDust | chirag_d_gr8: with usb then? | 14:27 |
| Pici | !install | chirag_d_gr8 | 14:27 |
| ubottu | chirag_d_gr8: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 14:27 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | mk1324: hd access time means boot time? | 14:27 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: boot time, application loading time, and saving/loading files | 14:28 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | ubottu: ok thx let me check out your links | 14:28 |
| ubottu | chirag_d_gr8: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:28 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | lmao | 14:28 |
| robin0800 | chirag_d_gr8, are you sure there is no bios setting or is it because you have no disk drive? | 14:28 |
| MonkeyDust | ubottu not too modest, you ARE intelligent :p | 14:28 |
| ubottu | MonkeyDust: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:28 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | ubottu is a bot? it is so cool :O | 14:28 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | i have disk drive but my laptop does not read a bootable drive and continue with windows | 14:29 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | not even from usb drive | 14:30 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: unless this is a really old machine CD boot should be supported by your BIOS | 14:30 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | i bought my laptop 3 days ago lol | 14:30 |
| robin0800 | chirag_d_gr8, there will either be a bios setting or a key to hit to choose boot device | 14:30 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | it is i3 processor, 3 gb ram, 2 gb graphics etc | 14:30 |
| mk1324 | try hitting F12 while the computer is booting, that's a very popular boot menu key | 14:30 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | ok.... | 14:31 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | i never pressed a key before while booting....let me check that | 14:31 |
| argT | or F10 | 14:31 |
| robin0800 | chirag_d_gr8, or f8 | 14:31 |
| argT | F12 is network a lot of the time | 14:31 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | so if i press all 3 will that do my job? | 14:32 |
| argT | umm | 14:32 |
| argT | try one | 14:32 |
| argT | doesnt work | 14:32 |
| argT | try again | 14:32 |
| robin0800 | chirag_d_gr8, try one at a time | 14:32 |
| Cradam | does anyone know of a command to restore ubuntu to factory settings? | 14:32 |
| mk1324 | argT: it's F12 for acer and lenovo, which are the main OEM's i use computers from | 14:32 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | ok... | 14:32 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | mine is hp | 14:33 |
| argT | mk1324, ahh, asus is f10, intel boards are f10 i believe too | 14:33 |
| usr13 | chirag_d_gr8: It should say on the screen. If it is to fast to read, Ctrl-ALt-Del will reboot and start over | 14:33 |
| robin0800 | chirag_d_gr8, I still think there will be a setting in bios too | 14:33 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: just try some, none of those options should be the self-destruct | 14:33 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: :D | 14:33 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | ok so if i enter successfully in bios, i will change boot sequence and my pc boot from disc first? | 14:34 |
| usr13 | chirag_d_gr8: Have you looked at BIOS settings for boot options? | 14:34 |
| robin0800 | chirag_d_gr8, yes | 14:34 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | i never entered bios | 14:34 |
| usr13 | ... FIrst time for everything. | 14:34 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | :D | 14:34 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | but if i mess bios, how to get it back to normal? | 14:35 |
| robin0800 | chirag_d_gr8, it might be delete for bios | 14:35 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | robin: sorry i did not get it | 14:35 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: for now only change boot options and you'll be fine | 14:35 |
| argT | my netbook has it as ESC | 14:35 |
| argT | lol | 14:35 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: ESC here as well for BIOS | 14:36 |
| Persona24 | What's the command to reboot the computer? | 14:36 |
| dori922 | do rsa keys increase security or are they just to help save a user remembering passwords? | 14:36 |
| argT | reboot... | 14:36 |
| mk1324 | Persona24: in a terminal? | 14:36 |
| Persona24 | yes | 14:36 |
| argT | reboot | 14:36 |
| bastidrazor | Persona24: sudo reboot now | 14:36 |
| mk1324 | shutdown -r now | 14:36 |
| Pici | dori922: Not really on-topic for this channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##security | 14:36 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | 1 more thing, my laptop shows an overheating error whenever i boot from linux and nothing when i boot from windows. is it normal or linux is eating my pc? | 14:37 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | linux gets so scary sometimes especially when it attacks hardware :( | 14:38 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: most of the cooling control should be done by the motherboard | 14:38 |
| Pumpkin- | dori922: for SSH, assuming they have a passphrase, they should increase security. As now you have a primitive 2factor auth, something you know (passphrase) and something you have (the private key). | 14:38 |
| themartyrs | is kubuntu 64 bit stable? | 14:39 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | mk1324: i run it for 4 hrs or 1 min, it always shows this error | 14:39 |
| Persona24 | ummmmm Ok, so my computer just suggested to install a terminal when I'm obviously using two terminals right now | 14:39 |
| kraut | themartyrs: it doesn't matter if it's 32- or 64-bit | 14:39 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | is linux attacking my hardware or i should ignore this? | 14:39 |
| Pumpkin- | dori922: of course, if the client machine is hacked, that doesn't really help you. But if the client password is shoulder surfed, it does help you. | 14:39 |
| Lithos84 | themartyrs: If you look for stability, try version 10.04. | 14:40 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: hose is the error given, during the POST (boot) screen? | 14:40 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: hose = how | 14:40 |
| mnmbb | themartyrs, U can try debian squeeze | 14:40 |
| themartyrs | Lithos84: im looking for 64 bit for exclusivly recording aND editing audio | 14:40 |
| Pici | themartyrs: Sure its stable, why wouldn't it be? | 14:40 |
| mk1324 | themartyrs: how much RAM is in the machine? | 14:41 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | in a black screen. like it tells me looks like your system went in hibernation due to overheating. now this problem has been fixed. check for vent blockage. press enter to continue | 14:41 |
| themartyrs | mk1324: 8GB | 14:41 |
| adel | hallo | 14:41 |
| Lithos84 | themartyrs: Keep with 64-bit. 10.04 is the most stable version right now. It works fine on my laptop. | 14:42 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: it might just be the way that linux sent the shutdown signal was misinterpretted | 14:42 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | mk1324: not once not twice but each n every time | 14:42 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | so it is a rom bug? | 14:42 |
| Cradam | does anyone know of a command to restore ubuntu to factory settings? i am trying to remove all the mess i have caused without grabbing the disk which is a few miles away | 14:42 |
| themartyrs | Lithos84: even for audio recording and production? | 14:42 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | and i should ignore this? | 14:42 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | and i should think linux is not melting my hardware inside? | 14:43 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: if you shutdown linux then boot into windows after, does the same error occur or just when booting linux? | 14:43 |
| === matt__ is now known as eein | ||
| chirag_d_gr8 | just linux and nothing with windows | 14:43 |
| Lithos84 | themartyrs: I edit videos on it. I suppose it works fine with audio too. | 14:43 |
| netMarker | server irc.epiknet.org | 14:43 |
| netMarker | omg | 14:43 |
| themartyrs | Lithos84: i need it to work better than fine | 14:43 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: it would prolly be a motherboard malfunction if the computer is overheating | 14:43 |
| Cradam | netMarker: dont advertise servers or nnyou may be klined | 14:43 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | omg so i should discontinue linux? | 14:43 |
| Pici | themartyrs: Again, I don't know why you think it would be unstable. I suggest asking in #ubuntustudio if you want answers regarding audio production though. | 14:44 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: if it's a motherboard issue then it's not linux | 14:44 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | windows shows no such error but linux shows this error any distro i use | 14:44 |
| MonkeyDust | chirag_d_gr8: we all were newbees, once :) | 14:44 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: what is the model of your laptop? | 14:44 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | hp 117tx | 14:44 |

| intergallactic | hi, how can i share internet via bluetooth, between 2 pcs, using blueman? | 14:45 |

| dori922 | thanks :D | 14:47 |
| Cradam | ok, so is there no way of restoring ubuntu to factory settings? like maybe reinstalling without the disk? | 14:47 |
| dr_willis | Cradam: depends on which settings | 14:48 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: does the exhaust air temp seem high? | 14:48 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | my temperature graph is in middle | 14:49 |
| Cradam | dr_willis: the countless WM's i have got with aptitude | 14:49 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | mk1324: the in built app temp graph shows temperature inside | 14:49 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | and it is somewhere in middle | 14:49 |
| dr_willis | Cradam: if you mean user settings. delete them from their home dir. | 14:50 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: either it's a false warning caused by linux not sending the computer the right code, or ACPI in linux is not agreeing with your laptop | 14:50 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | uhm....what is acpi | 14:50 |
| Cradam | dr_willis: no i want to remove them and start from scratch | 14:50 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | mk1324: so what would u reccommend? i am very much interested in saving my hardware. should i continue using liunx? | 14:51 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | or stick to sucking windows? | 14:51 |
| mk1324 | chirag_d_gr8: power management functions, I believe it also controls cooling | 14:51 |
| jragon_ | Hi! | 14:52 |

| B0g4r7 | Newer chips tend to be designed to tolerate higher temps. | 15:10 |
| B0g4r7 | It used to be 60c was bordering on too hot, but now it's normal for a cpu to tolerate up to 100c. | 15:11 |

| razz_ | how to update to the latest copy of hdparm in 10.04 | 15:12 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | mine is laptop. while using irc, it's temperature is 60 celsius. so i will never be able to play a gme on it? | 15:12 |
| Alloween | Cradam: Probe results at ShieldsUP says, "Your system's personal security countermeasures unwisely attempted to probe us in response to our probes." How do i make sure it keeps in stealth mode? | 15:13 |
| Cradam | what | 15:13 |
| cfedde | dell satisfaction survey training me to avoid calling them for help in the future. | 15:14 |
| SIFTU | Cradam: CPU temp varies by chip.. mine cuts out at 100C | 15:15 |
| Alloween | i probed for open ports at "shieldsUP" to see if there are any security holes , and it not truly stealth mode as tries to probe back to where packets originated from. | 15:16 |
| B0g4r7 | Cradan, I would check the manufacturer specs. | 15:16 |
| Cradam | Alloween: and why would i know? | 15:16 |
| DarkStar1 | Hello ppl.. What command do I need to excutue to reload my bash_profile again? | 15:17 |
| Alloween | Now, i want my system to not to respond to such packets as shieldsUP reports. How to do this in unbuntu | 15:17 |
| B0g4r7 | Alloween, maybe if you were to capture packets with wireshark during the scan you could see what they're talking about. | 15:17 |
| B0g4r7 | Their description is rather vague. | 15:17 |
| Persona24 | So guys, Ubuntu is suppose to appeal to Window users. Who hear believes it looks more like Mac OS? | 15:17 |
| Cradam | i understand the question, i just dont understand why i would know, (i don't know) | 15:17 |
| SIFTU | Alloween: are you behind a router? | 15:18 |
| razz_ | hdparm on ubuntu 10.04 is 9.15 and it's buggy, how do i update to 9.37 which I believe is the latest and is available for oneiric https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdparm/9.37-0ubuntu1 | 15:18 |

| B0g4r7 | Persona, it is? (supposed to appeal to Windowss user) | 15:18 |
| Alloween | SIFTU: no, its standalone machine | 15:18 |

| abstrakt | SIFTU, because the interface is EXTREMELY non intuitive, it doesn't follow ANY kind of convention, not emacs, not vim, not anything, and the search is pretty much horrible and completely non-useful | 15:54 |
| abstrakt | getting anything actually done in aptitude is just a huge PITA | 15:54 |
| abstrakt | i'd rather use apt-get and apt-cache any day | 15:54 |
| * justinas nods vigorously to what abstrakt is saying. | 15:54 | |
| SIFTU | abstrakt: its ncurses.. its fine | 15:54 |
| Pici | abstrakt: aptitude doesn't come with Ubuntu by default because there is no reason to include two tools that do the same thing on the CD, epsecially because we are always looking for more room. | 15:54 |
| abstrakt | Synaptic is pretty nice, they actually got it right | 15:54 |

| ModusPwnens | oops, wrong window. | 15:55 |
| abstrakt | SIFTU, ncurses has basically zero to do with what hotkey commands they chose | 15:55 |

| justinas | Let's update. | 15:58 |
| abstrakt | SIFTU, yes I knokw what you were trying to say, hence why I said "of course not, it's GUI" | 15:58 |
| abstrakt | and like i said already, on a headless server, i just use apt-get and apt-cache and i get far more done in far less time than b0rkpl0xing around with aptitude | 15:58 |
| usr13 | #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place for philosophical discussions | 15:58 |

| brack9 | Yeah. It's taking forever to boot | 16:00 |
| SIFTU | brack9: SD cards are slow | 16:00 |
| justinas | Slower then SATA disks? | 16:00 |
| brack9 | dammit.. I have a 4 gig SSD but an 8 gig SD card | 16:00 |
| SIFTU | justinas: yep | 16:00 |
| brack9 | so I tried installing it on the SD card | 16:00 |
| brack9 | since I kept running out of space | 16:00 |

| justinas | TheMatrix30001: Grep it. | 16:00 |
| Pici | TheMatrix30001: grep example@example.com /var/log/mail.log | 16:00 |

| llutz | TheMatrix30001: grep " example@example.com" /var/log/mail.log | 16:01 |
| brack9 | It's a decent card, I think it's like a sandisk | 16:01 |
| abstrakt | brack9, i really wouldn't be surprised at all | 16:01 |
| brack9 | weird, live boot is a lot slower | 16:01 |
| abstrakt | brack9, vendor has very little to do with actual performance/speed/specs | 16:01 |
| brack9 | ok | 16:01 |
| abstrakt | vendor has more to do with QA and longevity of your product | 16:01 |
| brack9 | So I kept running out of space because of application | 16:01 |
| brack9 | applications... | 16:01 |
| Pici | !enter | 16:01 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 16:01 |
| brack9 | sorry | 16:02 |
| abstrakt | brack9, well on a 4G drive, of course you keep running out of space | 16:02 |
| brack9 | So yeah, can I mount the location that applications are installed on the 8 gig card some how? | 16:02 |
| abstrakt | i don't even understand why anyone would try to go with anything less than a 32G drive for a main OS drive | 16:02 |
| user | Hey there. | 16:02 |
| brack9 | abstrakt: it's a netbook. | 16:02 |
| abstrakt | like, i remember using a 2G drive, that was about 15 years ago | 16:03 |
| user | Is there anyone who can help me out with my windows boot? | 16:03 |
| abstrakt | brack9, again that means pretty much nothing to ubuntu | 16:03 |
| REK_007 | user what problem ? | 16:03 |
| justinas | IIRC, SSD disks have a limited number of writes to them. In the long run they simply can't hold the info. What's the half-life of such a disk normally, considering that a user does not (re)write info like crazy, e.g., does not compile the system every day? | 16:03 |
| abstrakt | ubuntu doesn't care if it's a buzzword based laptop or not, ubuntu needs probably 5-10G of space at least | 16:03 |
| brack9 | abstrakt: I was answering your question of why someone might use less than 32g | 16:03 |
| user | well i can't run windows nor ubuntu anymore :l | 16:03 |
| abstrakt | brack9, uhh... not a very good answer? | 16:03 |
| MiteshShah | how can I check if sound card is installed or not | 16:03 |
| REK_007 | user: a little more info will be helpful as to what you did | 16:04 |
| abstrakt | unless you're actually using it as a truly dumb terminal, in which case your HD size really shouldn't matter | 16:04 |
| brack9 | abstrakt: it has a built in 4 gig hard drive, the only other storage is removable | 16:04 |
| user | well, this morning I removed my manually added ubuntu boot button in mbr and now i can't run windows anymore ;l | 16:05 |
| justinas | user: :-D | 16:05 |
| abstrakt | oh, i see... wow... aight, well i don't know what to say except that this is a common lesson: always research your hardware before you buy for linux | 16:05 |
| * justinas giggles. | 16:05 | |
| justinas | "removed ubuntu boot button from MBR." | 16:05 |
| brack9 | abstrakt: I got it for free | 16:05 |
| abstrakt | MiteshShah, lspci | 16:05 |
| abstrakt | MiteshShah, and lsmod | 16:05 |
| REK_007 | user: repair mbr ... using a windows disc | 16:06 |
| abstrakt | brack9, ahh, well there ya go... can't complain much then, can ya :) | 16:06 |
| user | i am currently running boot-repair-disk | 16:06 |
| user | the debian based thingy | 16:06 |
| tolstoi | anyone knows how to exchange the ubuntu logo for the gnome pawn in the left upper panel? | 16:06 |
| justinas | He probably means that he messed up menu.lst in grub. | 16:06 |
| REK_007 | user: that will fix you to grub . AFAIK | 16:06 |
| user | when i tried to restore MBR i'm still unable to run windows ;l | 16:06 |
| abstrakt | brack9, try something else then, like damn small linux and then install openbox or whatever | 16:06 |
| user | i'm not talking about grub | 16:06 |
| === fstash is now known as sour | ||
| justinas | Which is more easily repaired by booting with some live cd, mounting the disk and putting the hooks back. | 16:06 |
| abstrakt | tolstoi, the people in #GNOME probably know | 16:06 |
| user | i have grub aswell | 16:06 |
| tolstoi | ty | 16:07 |
| user | but grub doesnt work either | 16:07 |
| MiteshShah | abstrakt: in lspci & lsmod I don't find realtec or sound word thay means no sound card in pc right? | 16:07 |
| user | it tells me that it can't find my partition | 16:07 |
| REK_007 | user: copy out the grub cfg to paste bin | 16:07 |
| justinas | MiteshShah: Not necessarily. | 16:07 |
| === sour is now known as fstash | ||
| abstrakt | MiteshShah, well if it doesn't show up in lspci, then yeah you have no sound card | 16:07 |
| abstrakt | MiteshShah, if it shows up in lspci but not in lsmod then you have a sound card but no drivers | 16:07 |
| SIFTU | MiteshShah: alsamixer shows nothing? | 16:07 |
| REK_007 | user: partition table you used .. i faced this problem only once when i tried tribooting with hackintosh with GUID table :P | 16:08 |
| B0g4r7 | MiteshShah, it may well have some other name, like "multimedia device" or "unidentified device" | 16:08 |
| fon72 | Is this the right channel for asking a quick support question? | 16:08 |
| minnillo | hi guys i have a question | 16:08 |
| usr13 | MiteshShah: lspci |pastebinit #Paste resulting URL. Let's have a look. | 16:08 |
| minnillo | how do you work subtitle downloader in movie player? | 16:09 |
| usr13 | minnillo: Which movie player? | 16:09 |
| MiteshShah | lspci shos host pci usb and ethernet only | 16:09 |
| minnillo | usr13: totem movie player | 16:09 |
| minnillo | i checked subtitle downloader in the plugin | 16:10 |
| minnillo | but i don't know how to use dit | 16:10 |
| MiteshShah | usr13: can you give me pastebin link so I put my op there | 16:10 |
| minnillo | it says it automatically searches for subtitles | 16:10 |
| fon72 | I bought a wireless router that is supposed to work with linux. It says the firmware is missing. In the disc that came with it there is a linux driver folder, but I don't know how to install. There doesn't seem to be a setup application. I'm completely new to linux by the way. | 16:10 |
| usr13 | MiteshShah: Problably a plugin for it. | 16:10 |
| usr13 | minnillo: Problably a plugin for it. | 16:11 |
| galba | hi, how can enable vnc on a newly installed ubuntu server 11.04 at the command-line? | 16:11 |
| minnillo | usr13: oh ok, so i stil need to install the subtitle downloader program for it to work? | 16:11 |
| justinas | fon72: install something like dd-wrt. | 16:11 |
| usr13 | MiteshShah: lspci |pastebinit #Paste resulting URL. Let's have a look. | 16:11 |
| fon72 | What is that? | 16:11 |
| justinas | dd-wrt is a Good Thing (tm). | 16:11 |
| usr13 | !pastebin | MiteshShah | 16:11 |
| ubottu | MiteshShah: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 16:11 |
| usr13 | !pastebinit | MiteshShah | 16:11 |
| ubottu | MiteshShah: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 16:11 |
| B0g4r7 | dd-wrt is cool, but you shouldn't need it just to use wireless. | 16:12 |
| Viktator | exit | 16:12 |
| fon72 | Well there is a driver folder in the disc that came with it called linux, but i don't see any sort of setup app. | 16:12 |
| fon72 | There are other files | 16:12 |
| B0g4r7 | fon72, I would stay away from installing anything from an included disc. | 16:12 |
| fon72 | Oh | 16:13 |
| fon72 | Okay | 16:13 |
| minnillo | hey i was just about to buy a wireless router awhile ago. what does DD-WRT do? | 16:13 |
| B0g4r7 | dd-wrt is replacement firmware for many routers. | 16:13 |
| llutz | minnillo: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page | 16:13 |
| minnillo | i was gonna get a normal router (one w/o the dd-wrt thing) but i stopped cause dd-wrt might be a good thing | 16:14 |
| minnillo | does dd-wrt make my connection faster? | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: i doubt if it will be any faster | 16:14 |
| B0g4r7 | I dunno about that, but it has some other cool features. | 16:14 |
| fon72 | How do I know my adapter is supported my dd-wrt? We already have a working router. I'm talking about a usb router. | 16:14 |
| B0g4r7 | Like the ability to function as a VPN endpoint. | 16:14 |
| SIFTU | minnillo: it's possible.. but not what its for.. it's for more advanced settings | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | a usb router? what do you mean by that? | 16:14 |
| fon72 | Adapter | 16:15 |
| fon72 | Sorry | 16:15 |
| llutz | fon72: you are talking about an USB wifi-adaptor not a router, aren't you? | 16:15 |
| MiteshShah | usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/689309/ | 16:15 |
| minnillo | dr_willis, SIFTU: oh i see. so if i'm just gonna use my router at home i don't really need a dd-wrt one? | 16:15 |
| fon72 | Usb adapter | 16:15 |
| fon72 | I confused myself | 16:15 |
| SIFTU | minnillo: depends on what you do at home :) | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: if you want to have more stuff to play with on it. :) | 16:15 |
| MiteshShah | abstrakt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/689309/ | 16:15 |
| minnillo | dr_willis: what kind of stuff? | 16:15 |
| fon72 | Yes, llutz. | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: go see the dd-wrt homepage/docs. i never have theneed for it. | 16:15 |
| minnillo | im jsut gonna use my laptop, PC, and phone wiht it | 16:16 |
| minnillo | would i need dd-wrt? | 16:16 |
| LanoUltra | Hi, is it possible to make a ubuntu pc shutdown after it has not been used in 1 hour and it's after 5 in the evening? What do I have to do? | 16:16 |
| B0g4r7 | I put dd-wrt on all my devices that can use it as a matter of course. | 16:16 |
| SIFTU | minnillo: I run a ipv6 tunnel, reverse ssh tunnels, vlan tagging, captive protal, custom firewall rules etc | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: if you need enhanced/advanced features and more controll. | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: for normal people.. most likely not | 16:16 |
| fon72 | So dd-wrt will fix the missing firmware problem? | 16:16 |
| SIFTU | fon72: no | 16:16 |
| abstrakt | whoa | 16:16 |
| minnillo | dr_willis: oh ok, probably jsut gonna buy a normal router then | 16:16 |
| abstrakt | ISA | 16:16 |
| B0g4r7 | dd-wrt runs on routers. | 16:16 |
| llutz | fon72: no, dd-wrt is a router firmware | 16:16 |
| minnillo | SIFTU: woah what are those lol | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | fon72: dd0wrt has nothing to do with your wireless card drivers | 16:16 |
| usr13 | MiteshShah: alsamixer #Look in upper left corner for info about audio adapter. Let us know what you see. | 16:16 |
| fon72 | Well then what about my wireless adapter? | 16:17 |
| abstrakt | MiteshShah, lspci says that you do not have a sound card, even though lspci says that you have sound drivers installed | 16:17 |
| B0g4r7 | fon72, have you plugged it in? | 16:17 |
| minnillo | ohhh how about for downloading torrents. will DD-WRT help? | 16:17 |
| fon72 | Yes | 16:17 |
| abstrakt | although, i suppose that just because you have sound drivers, doesn't mean they are attached to any particular hardware | 16:17 |
| claude2 | hmmm is anyone else getting an error updating ubuntu 10.04 today? | 16:17 |
| fon72 | It says something like device not ready missing firmware | 16:17 |
| claude2 | i'm getting "unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: files list file for package 'evolution-plugins' is missing final newline" | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: i think its time to go check the dd-wrt homepage :) | 16:17 |
| SIFTU | minnillo: there is a version with torrent client installed :) | 16:17 |
| fon72 | Forgot the exact text | 16:17 |
| fon72 | Can I pm someone? This chat is a little to chaotic for me to follow. | 16:18 |
| minnillo | dr_willis: i've checked the site awhile ago but didn't understand a thing lol. i'll go check it out again. thanks! | 16:18 |
| MiteshShah | usr13: I don't find any alsamixer where it is? | 16:18 |
| fon72 | too* | 16:18 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: then its most likely best you dont use it :) | 16:18 |
| SIFTU | MiteshShah: open up a command line and type it in | 16:18 |
| minnillo | SIFTU: then maybe i'll get a dd-wrt router then, because of the torrent LOL | 16:18 |
| usr13 | MiteshShah: Open a terminal window, type "alsamixer" (without quotes), and hit Enter key. | 16:18 |
| minnillo | dr_willis: nah, i can understand those stuff i just need to focus reaeding on them hehe | 16:19 |
| fon72 | ? | 16:19 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: you can get NAS's that can do torrents also. if you really need such a gizmo | 16:19 |
| MiteshShah | usr13: SIFTU: usr13: alsamixer says cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 16:19 |
| minnillo | what are NAS? | 16:19 |
| dr_willis | Network Attatched Storage | 16:20 |
| FAMAS | network attached storage | 16:20 |
| dr_willis | a HD on the LAN | 16:20 |
| minnillo | ohhh | 16:20 |
| SIFTU | dr_willis: dd-wrt can have a HDD attached and act as a nas too | 16:20 |
| FAMAS | to be blatant, boxes with rj45 ports which can have drives inside them | 16:20 |
| minnillo | nah i don't think i would need that. i just need something to speed up my torrent downloading hehe | 16:20 |
| FAMAS | to minnillo: you need better internet connection | 16:20 |
| usr13 | MiteshShah: sudo apt-get install alsa-tools | 16:20 |
| FAMAS | or simply more seeds for your torrent | 16:20 |
| fon72 | So,,,can someone help me install the driver on the cd or some alternative? | 16:21 |
| MiteshShah | usr13: abstrakt: I need to buy new sound card? | 16:21 |
| B0g4r7 | I have this Asus router gadget that advertises "continuous accelerated downloading even when the PC is off". I dunno if that's torrents or not... | 16:21 |
| minnillo | FAMAS: so dd-wrt cannot increase the speed of my torrent downloading? | 16:21 |
| MiteshShah | usr13: I'm installing it wait | 16:21 |
| usr13 | MiteshShah: As someone already suggested, it doesn't appear that you have a working sound card. | 16:21 |
| FAMAS | i do not know what dd-wrt is, but torrents operate on a principle | 16:21 |
| FAMAS | which is not similar to http | 16:21 |
| B0g4r7 | minnillo, it could if it fixes bugs that were present in the stock firmware. | 16:21 |
| FAMAS | you cannot just feed it an accelerator | 16:21 |
| minnillo | FAMAS: oh ok | 16:22 |
| FAMAS | and hope for it to magically skyrocket | 16:22 |
| MiteshShah | usr13: so what to do buy new sound card or just install some packages I'm new so I don't know | 16:22 |
| FAMAS | to boger: the option you are talking about | 16:22 |
| minnillo | B0g4r7: oh ok | 16:22 |
| irveee | what's the easiest VM to set up in ubuntu for running win 7? | 16:22 |
| FAMAS | it is to continue accelerated download even when you shutdown your pc | 16:22 |
| irveee | and most seemless | 16:22 |
| dr_willis | irveee: i would say virtualbox | 16:22 |
| dr_willis | seamless - no idea. | 16:22 |
| irveee | awesome, i'll give it a shot :) | 16:22 |
| FAMAS | i agree with doctor | 16:22 |
| MiteshShah | usr13: alsa-tool is already newest 1 | 16:22 |
| fon72 | Hello? | 16:23 |
| irveee | thx all | 16:23 |
| frusen | hey, i have a problem regarding my cd drive. when i start the computer and go into BIOS it is there, but when i login to ubuntu it's not recognized. i need help :/ | 16:23 |
| danger89 | To minnilo, to speed up your torrent you should be sure that you forwarded the port | 16:23 |
| fon72 | :( | 16:23 |
| usr13 | MiteshShah: I don't know really.... Would have to see what you've got. But if you come by my place, I'd give you one, (I have a few spares). | 16:23 |
| irveee | basically all i need is for outlook to run =p | 16:23 |
| minnillo | danger89: alright, i've already done that though | 16:23 |
| irveee | so as long as my NIC is mapped and whatnot should be good | 16:23 |
| dr_willis | irveee: your Network card in the virtual machine will be a virtual nic.. | 16:24 |
| minnillo | im just under the impression that dd-wrt could enchance your speed. but i think i was wrong | 16:24 |
| usr13 | MiteshShah: If you have alsa-tools installed, alsamixer should be a valid command. What error do you get? | 16:24 |
| FAMAS | to everyone who is having unsupported hardware on ubuntu: first make sure you did not mess with the os in anyway | 16:24 |
| danger89 | Frusen, is it SATA? | 16:24 |
| fon72 | I guess I'll ask later... | 16:24 |
| FAMAS | and always try with alternative spare parts | 16:24 |
| irveee | dr_willis: sounds good. i will report back with my results :D | 16:24 |
| frusen | danger89, no | 16:24 |
| usr13 | alternative spare parts, good suggestion. | 16:24 |
| dr_willis | fon72: theres always askubuntu.com and the forums | 16:25 |
| danger89 | Uhm maybe a jumper problem? | 16:25 |
| minnillo | guys what's MIMO? is it the same as 1T1R? | 16:25 |
| dr_willis | fon72: or clarify and reask the question here about every 10 min. | 16:25 |
| FAMAS | to doctor: forums give me a fever | 16:25 |
| MiteshShah | use r13 user@localhost:~$ alsamixer | 16:25 |
| MiteshShah | cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 16:25 |
| FAMAS | they take fucking long to respond | 16:25 |
| FAMAS | and turn into TLDR fests | 16:25 |
| FAMAS | after 5 posts | 16:25 |
| fon72 | Didn't want to be annoying. I wasn't sure if I was being ignored because I did something wrong. | 16:25 |
| dr_willis | FAMAS: i find 90% of all the questions asked on them.. have allreadybeen answered if people would search. | 16:25 |
| dr_willis | FAMAS: then theres askubuntu.com | 16:26 |
| usr13 | FAMAS: Keep your comments clean and on one line. | 16:26 |
| FAMAS | test | 16:27 |
| dr_willis | thres a few forum threads on grub2 that are very very worth reading. :) well the initial post/guide is at least. | 16:27 |
| B0g4r7 | minnillo, MINO is "multi in multi out", which is to say, transmitting and receiving using more than one radio. | 16:27 |
| root____ | test | 16:27 |
| dr_willis | wouldent that be MIMO? :) | 16:28 |
| minnillo | B0g4r7: so what does it do? | 16:28 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: makes wireless faster. :) | 16:28 |
| B0g4r7 | yes | 16:28 |
| B0g4r7 | It "takes advantage of spatial diversity" | 16:28 |
| minnillo | uhm, what if you've reached your ISPs speed, does it still make it faster? | 16:28 |
| FAMAS | to minn: no | 16:28 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: how could it do that? :) | 16:28 |
| dr_willis | its for your pc/lan... | 16:29 |
| FAMAS | you cannot limit break your isp without hacking their server inside out | 16:29 |
| B0g4r7 | It also effectively increases the usable range. | 16:29 |
| FAMAS | most softwares only max out your speed on your end | 16:29 |
| minnillo | dr_willis: well yeah i was just wondering haha | 16:29 |
| minnillo | hmm so how does MIMO speed up your connection? | 16:29 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: like having 2 network connections.. it has 2 radios.. | 16:30 |
| B0g4r7 | MIMO is about increasing wireless perfomance. | 16:30 |
| B0g4r7 | It has nothing to do with wired connections. | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIMO | 16:30 |
| minnillo | so with internet it's useless? | 16:30 |
| fon72 | Okay, here goes. I got recently got a wireless usb adapter. When I plug it in says device not ready, firmware missing. On the disc it came with it has a folder for linux drivers, but I see no installer amongst the files. | 16:31 |
| B0g4r7 | In most cases, the speed your local wireless network will be greater than that of your internet connection. | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: its from your pc's to the router. or pc to pc... | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | Unless you got a really really really fast isp :) the isp is the bottleneck. | 16:32 |
| minnillo | ohhhhh i see | 16:32 |
| ragno | ciao | 16:32 |
| FAMAS | to fon: linux does not do installer | 16:32 |
| ragno | list! | 16:32 |
| FAMAS | linux does the sudo apt thingy | 16:32 |
| B0g4r7 | If you wanted to stream video from your local file server to a local wireless device, a MIMO wifi radio would be a good choice. | 16:32 |
| FAMAS | command line | 16:32 |
| frusen | danger89, maybe i'll just buy a SATA | 16:32 |
| FAMAS | installer is windows exclusive privilege | 16:32 |
| benoliver999 | fon72: There are no installers. | 16:32 |
| dr_willis | fon72: i would say ignore the disk. and check the forums/askubuntu.com for what package you should be installing for that device. If the drivers exist for linux on the disk. then there SHOULD be some package in the repos that also include them | 16:32 |
| fon72 | Then how do I install? | 16:33 |
| ragno | server irc.openjoke.org | 16:33 |
| dr_willis | fon72: #1 thing to do is identify the exact device/chipset. | 16:33 |
| B0g4r7 | fon72, 'lsusb' should help you to identify the device. | 16:33 |
| fon72 | http://in.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=UI3ejenXyxqQTIcJ&templete=2 | 16:33 |
| FAMAS | also, i am a beginner of ubuntu, do not take my word as absolute | 16:33 |
| fon72 | That's it | 16:33 |
| danger89 | Frusen you can try that for less than $15 if your motherboard supports it | 16:33 |
| minnillo | dr, bog4: so with just using the internet a mimo router is useless? | 16:33 |
| dr_willis | fon72: and the addational-drivers tool Might help in installing any needed drivers for it. But you may need to use a wired connection first for the pc. | 16:34 |
| ragno | ciao | 16:34 |
| fon72 | Hmm okay | 16:34 |
| frusen | danger89, yeah, I think I'll just do that :) | 16:34 |
| fon72 | T | 16:34 |
| B0g4r7 | minnillo, MIMO can help to extend the effective range of the wireless signal, so it could be af use in that regard. | 16:34 |
| fon72 | hanks | 16:34 |
| ragno | list! | 16:34 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: as we stated.. for pure data speed.. the bottle neck getting TO your home is the ISP. | 16:34 |
| fon72 | Whoops, pressed enter. | 16:34 |
| benoliver999 | fon72: If you can get online, I'd recommend the 'addtional drivers' tool too, as a starting point. | 16:34 |
| minnillo | dr, bog4: so there is still an advantage then with mimo on your router | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: in my house/lan setup.. yes.. | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | since the wife is watching VIdeos from my fileserever over wireless all day long.. :) | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | she laggs the rest of the wireless pcs :) | 16:36 |
| B0g4r7 | minnillo, your neighbors will also appreciate if you use the newer MIMO gear. The older stuff tends to slow down the newer stuff if they operate in the same area. | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | with MIMI - i might actually get some range past my front porch. :) | 16:36 |
| IsmAvatar | hey guys, I switched to an older NVidia proprietary driver, but after rebooting, the display gets no input right about at the login screen. I'm on liveCD right now. How do I switch it back? | 16:37 |
| minnillo | dr, bog4: oh alright now i see what it does | 16:37 |
| minnillo | dr, bog: i didn't see the benefit in home networking | 16:37 |
| Paladinlaw | need help with nvidia driver. my max resolution is 640x480. | 16:37 |
| B0g4r7 | Home networking is more than just sharing an internet connection. | 16:38 |
| dr_willis | Paladinlaw: you ran the nvidia-settings tool? | 16:38 |
| FAMAS | to paladin: try with a different monitor | 16:38 |
| === gundy_ is now known as gundy | ||
| Paladinlaw | dr_willis: yes same res | 16:38 |
| Paladinlaw | famas: dont have another to try with. | 16:38 |
| minnillo | so does 1T1R the same as MIMO? | 16:38 |
| B0g4r7 | That's the opposite of MIMO. | 16:39 |
| FAMAS | to paladin: go ask your fried to rent one to you for testing | 16:39 |
| Paladinlaw | famas: my other monitors only supports vga and my graphic card only supports DVI and HDMI | 16:39 |
| B0g4r7 | 1T1R == 1 Transmit 1 Receive. | 16:39 |
| minnillo | oh | 16:39 |
| FAMAS | ask someone to give a 4:3 with dvi | 16:39 |
| FAMAS | they exist | 16:39 |
| minnillo | lol | 16:39 |
| minnillo | so i shouldn't get it then | 16:39 |
| Paladinlaw | famas:ok i will try. | 16:39 |
| ashish | i have problem on pendrive | 16:39 |
| ashish | lsusb command detects pendrive | 16:40 |
| FAMAS | to ashish: what problem? | 16:40 |
| ashish | but device does not appears on /dev/sd** | 16:40 |
| minnillo | so guys how do you connect two computers wirelessly? do you just need a wireless router? | 16:41 |
| IsmAvatar | normally, yes | 16:42 |
| philwire | hi, im trying to install a new d-link dge530T gigabit nic but neither eth0 or eth1 seems to use it. | 16:42 |
| IsmAvatar | hey guys, I switched to an older NVidia proprietary driver, but after rebooting, the display gets no input right about at the login screen. I'm on liveCD right now. How do I switch it back? | 16:44 |
| minnillo | lsmAvatar: i had the same problem dude | 16:45 |
| dr_willis | IsmAvatar: boot the system to text mode. and repair it. | 16:45 |
| minnillo | has the nvidia driver thing been solved in 11.04? | 16:45 |
| dr_willis | my nvidia driver works in 11.04 | 16:46 |

| minnillo | or the one downloaded off nvidia's site? | 16:46 |
| danger89 | If you watch a full hd YouTube video do I need a better video card or processor to run it (more) smoothly? | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: ive not used the onew from nvidia's site.. like.. ever.. :) | 16:47 |
| danger89 | If I* | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | not in years at least.. | 16:47 |
| kilon | someone pinged me ? | 16:47 |
| IsmAvatar | dr_willis: any way to fix it from live CD? I wouldn't know how to fix it from text mode, and I wouldn't know how to get help (e.g. irc) in text mode either. | 16:48 |
| dr_willis | IsmAvatar: remove the nvidia driver, install the one you want via the proper apt-get commands. | 16:48 |
| minnillo | dr_willis: there are two nvidia drivers in 11.04. the proprieary and the experimental one. which did you install? | 16:48 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: the one the addationa-drivers tool suggested for my chipset. I have 4 machines with differnt cards.. :) | 16:49 |
| ujjain5 | Hi. How should I install ATI drivers, via ATI.com or fglrx | 16:49 |
| danger89 | So in Linux, watching a flash stream like YouTube, does Linux uses the Intel HD/NVIDIA or only the processor power to display the video? | 16:49 |
| n2i | Hi! | 16:49 |
| dr_willis | ujjain5: use the addational-drivers tool first.. | 16:50 |
| minnillo | dr: yeah the additional drivers tool is suggesting two nvidia drivers to me lol. you only have one? | 16:50 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: one says 'suggested/reccomended' here. | 16:50 |
| ujjain5 | dr_willis: I am new to Linux desktop, where do I find it? sudo apt-get install first? | 16:50 |
| minnillo | oh ok thanks doc | 16:50 |
| ujjain5 | oh, I see it :) | 16:50 |
| dr_willis | ujjain5: its in the menus somewhere.. or run 'jockey-gtk' | 16:50 |
| dr_willis | :) | 16:51 |
| FAMAS | hey | 16:51 |
| FAMAS | who was it that needed help with 640*480 resolution? | 16:51 |
| FAMAS | YELL OUT NOW | 16:51 |
| FAMAS | who was it that needed help with 640*480 resolution? | 16:51 |
| FloodBot1 | FAMAS: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:51 |
| ujjain5 | It's listed. Says installed well. But I still get a dll error. | 16:51 |
| n2i | I'm using some mobile phone as modem to connect to net. And now there are two ones connect to my PC via USB cable. | 16:51 |
| philwire | hi, im trying to install a new d-link dge530T gigabit nic but neither eth0 or eth1 seems to use it. | 16:51 |
| ujjain5 | anyway, my error is, "Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so, please check whether..." | 16:51 |
| n2i | I using wvdial to connect one of them as ppp0. | 16:52 |
| n2i | I wanna connect the other as ppp1. How to do it? | 16:52 |
| n2i | Is it possible? | 16:52 |
| dr_willis | ujjain5: you rebooted after installing them? | 16:53 |
| ujjain5 | dr_willis: Yes. | 16:53 |
| dr_willis | ujjain5: i only have 1 system these days with ati. so cant really suggest anything. | 16:53 |
| minnillo | another question, during installation, i always select /dev/sda to install grub on. which particular partition does it really get installed into? | 16:54 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: none.. its on the MBR of the hard drive | 16:55 |
| minnillo | cause sometimes grub doesn't work whenever i want to call it up at startup. like it didn't get installed or something | 16:55 |
| FAMAS | to minn: what does grub do? | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | MBR is at the very start of the HD. not any part of a partition. | 16:55 |
| FAMAS | and what are you trying to setup? | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | !grub2 | 16:55 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 16:55 |

| ashish | [ 363.911566] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning | 16:56 |
| minnillo | dr: ohh. ok. how come it doesn't start up. i've only got ubuntu on my computer. no other OSs | 16:56 |
| g[r]eek | Hi. I've setup sftp using a Subsystem declaration inside my sshd_config and I can log in with my filezilla client. I've set the permissions on the folder to be owned by my ftp user and I can - through filezilla - rename files, list and create directories. But I cannot upload or download files. Any ideas? | 16:56 |
| whoever | need help, i have libdvdcss2 installed but dvd wii not read , i get error that the dvd is encrpted or the dvd decrption library is not insalled | 16:56 |
| ashish | what does this message mean | 16:56 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: is ubuntu booting up to the login screen? | 16:56 |
| minnillo | dr: yes it is | 16:56 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: then grub is installed.. its just not showing the menu by default.. because you onlyhave ubuntu on the box. | 16:57 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: see the grub2 guides on making it not hide. | 16:57 |
| sjonkedispe | hi guys. anyone familiar with the "gave up waiting for root device" and ubuntu booting only after a Windows session? | 16:57 |
| FAMAS | the same way ntldr does not show while only windows is installed | 16:57 |
| minnillo | dr: oh so that's why it doesn't show up | 16:57 |
| under | Hi | 16:57 |
| under | hi | 16:57 |
| dr_willis | its a silly default. and i always change it to alwyas show | 16:57 |
| danger89 | Hi | 16:57 |
| minnillo | reason is when i installed the nvidia driver and my pc didn't boot up anymore, i couldn't get to grub to fix it | 16:57 |
| under | how can I print an .srt file on a mkv file? | 16:58 |
| whoever | nevermide i must have a f**d up reader , i burnner read it fine | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: shift key or escape key would show it. | 16:58 |
| minnillo | yeah but it doesn't show | 16:58 |
| minnillo | that was my issue. but yeah maybe because there is only one OS (ubuntu) on my pc | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | under: you mean reencode a video to include the subtitles? mencoder or ffmpeg can do it i recall. | 16:58 |
| danger89 | Minilo did you tried to run the NVIDIA control panel? And safe the new file? | 16:59 |
| dr_willis | under: their faq most likely gives examples. | 16:59 |
| minnillo | danger: whta do you mean? | 16:59 |
| under | dr_willis, do you think this operation is long? | 16:59 |
| root____ | quit | 17:00 |
| philwire | How can I trash and reconfigure network configurations? | 17:01 |
| danger89 | well I believe its possible to run NVIDIA control panel and safe grub file | 17:01 |
| minnillo | danger: im not really sure what you're pertaining to. i haven't gone that far yet | 17:02 |
| omidp | hey guys borrowed my friends modem for a while becuz my modem hadnt driver for linux byt recently i use my old modem and find out its working but not properly | 17:02 |
| Darken_ | anyone able to help with a developer problem? I have code that runs fine on my school's solaris system but it gets buggy on my system (compiles fine) | 17:03 |
| dr_willis | under: it totally depends on the details.. system specs. and file sizes.. | 17:03 |
| omidp | is there any way that i can fix it? | 17:03 |
| minnillo | damn the grub2 guide on the forums is so comprehensive | 17:04 |
| dr_willis | minnillo: and theres grub2 wiki pages.. and the offiical grub homepage/docs | 17:04 |
| minnillo | dr: that might be better il check it out | 17:04 |
| dr_willis | i find the forum post have info i dident seein the wiki | 17:05 |

| rww | DarkStar1: ask in #freenode | 17:07 |
| minnillo | ok guys time to go. thanks for all the help really appreciate it. have a good day/nigh everyone :) | 17:07 |
| MonkeyDust | already miss you minnillo | 17:07 |
| userxxx | Can anyone tell me a bit about which Ubuntu distro I can use | 17:07 |
| minnillo | LOL MYA too monkey | 17:07 |
| benoliver999 | userxxx What are your needs? | 17:08 |
| MonkeyDust | !best| userxxx | 17:08 |
| ubottu | userxxx: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:08 |
| userxxx | Multimedia, Office use | 17:08 |
| leeping | Hi there, is gfortran typically used as a substitute for "f77", "g77", "f90", and "f95" ? | 17:09 |
| dr_willis | userxxx: they all can do that | 17:09 |
| philwire | can anyone help me please? | 17:09 |
| h00k | !anyone | philwire | 17:09 |
| ubottu | philwire: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 17:09 |
| philwire | hahaha | 17:09 |
| philwire | How can I trash and reconfigure network configurations? | 17:10 |
| philwire | hi, im trying to install a new d-link dge530T gigabit nic but neither eth0 or eth1 seems to use it. | 17:10 |
| userxxx | Not really...Some desktop enviroments are difficult to use and some have hardware problems adn others works but don't have many application | 17:10 |
| dr_willis | philwire: does ifconfig show it at all? how about ethtool? | 17:10 |
| MonkeyDust | pjm0616: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:10 |
| muneeb | how do i completely remove a user from Ubuntu? I have messed up USER's permission. I want to recreate a user with same name but it gives me error | 17:11 |
| MonkeyDust | philwire: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:11 |
| dr_willis | muneeb: what permissions did you mess up? | 17:11 |
| llutz | muneeb: sudo deluser --remove-home username | 17:11 |
| userxxx | Where can I compare all the Ubuntu distros? | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | deleting your first user.. would mean you got no user with sudo rights.. | 17:12 |
| philwire | sudo service networking restart gives restart: unknown instance: | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | userxxx: the differnce is normally just what desktop is installed by default. | 17:12 |
| g[r]eek | Hi. I've setup sftp using a Subsystem declaration inside my sshd_config and I can log in with my filezilla client. I've set the permissions on the folder to be owned by my ftp user and I can - through filezilla - rename files, list and create directories. But I cannot upload or download files. Any ideas? | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | userxxx: theres a few variants that are more focused on education, or video/sound editing or other specialized tasks | 17:12 |
| muneeb | dr_willis, I'm stuck at Looping Login Screen. so I deleted that user but when i create with same name, it gives error that /usr/lib/.../... does not have ... permission | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | muneeb: you deleted your initial user you made that had root/sudo rights? | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | muneeb: and now the user you are using does not have sudo rihts at all? | 17:13 |
| muneeb | dr_willis, yes, but i had created 2 users with sudo and admin rights | 17:14 |
| userxxx | dr willis> Which version is ready out of the box for multimedia | 17:14 |
| dr_willis | userxxx: they all can do multimedia stuff. | 17:14 |
| philwire | and ethtoo gives unusable answers too | 17:14 |
| dr_willis | 'multimedia' is a bit of a vague term. :) | 17:14 |
| userxxx | dr willis> Yes, but NOT out of the box. Like Ubuntu does have any codecs | 17:15 |
| Polah | Can I remove the mail icon from the indicator applet, so I only have audio and networking? | 17:15 |
| muneeb | dr_willis, so i have another user which can perform actions with root privileges | 17:15 |
| userxxx | Does not have any codecs | 17:15 |
| dr_willis | userxxx: for legal reasons ubuntu can only include some codecs... | 17:15 |
| dr_willis | userxxx: that would be the same in all offical ubuntu variants. | 17:15 |
| userxxx | What about Mint? | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | i rarely need to install any extra stuff these days | 17:16 |
| IsmAvatar | dr_willis: thanks. I was able to fix my driver using your suggestions | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | userxxx: go see the mint support channel and web site. i dont use mint. | 17:16 |
| n2i | can anyone help me? | 17:16 |
| userxxx | n2i> No help here | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | gee that was rude of him. | 17:17 |
| Polah | n2i: Sure, if you ask your question. | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | :) | 17:17 |
| Polah | dr_willis: Yes, despite you actually helping him by answering the questions he asked. Some people are so silly (: | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | Polah: but ubuntu dosent have any codecs! we need moar codecs! :) | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | err.. vlc dosent even use the codecs does it? they are all built in i thought. | 17:18 |
| ubuntu__ | tuptus | 17:18 |
| n2i | Polah: I have posted my question above. | 17:18 |
| * glebihan wonders how he watches videos without any codecs then... | 17:19 | |
| dr_willis | I just check those 2 box's at the start of the install - and it installs most every codec/extra i need. | 17:19 |
| === zsh4311 is now known as zsh4310 | ||
| Polah | n2i | 17:19 |
| philwire | so how do I scrap my networking configuration and start over ? | 17:19 |
| dr_willis | philwire: perhaps you should state teh core problem. | 17:20 |
| Polah | n2i: Oh, I don't know about setting up PPP connections, especially concerning tethering your phone. | 17:20 |
| muneeb | llutz, should I go with '--remove-all-files' option? coz error i get is from permission changes in /usr/lib/.. | 17:20 |
| uns0b1ll_ | hi people i get /usr/bin/xauth: file /home/.Xauthority does not exist | 17:20 |
| uns0b1ll_ | so i cant forward X11 over ssh client | 17:20 |
| n2i | Polah: I have waiting for the awnser for a while but there is no one. | 17:20 |
| Polah | dr_willis: That only installs the MP3 codec doesn't it? Aren't a lot of video codecs msising? | 17:20 |
| dr_willis | uns0b1ll_: you sure its not saying /home/username/.Xauthority ? | 17:21 |
| Polah | n2i: You could try asking in #networking if you want | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | Polah: i think it installs much more. I rarely need to do anything after the initial install to watch all my err... vacation videos.. :) | 17:21 |
| philwire | dr_willis: I had trouble with my onboard nic that only did 10mbps so I disabled it and installed a new d-link dge 530 but I cant see/configure it. ethool and ifconfig don't see it | 17:21 |
| sjonkedispe | spent close to five days on "gave up waiting for root device" now. have edited all the config files google says are relevant. ubuntu only boots once after installing it or directly after a windows session | 17:21 |
| n2i | Polah: ok, thank you! | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | philwire: does 'dmesg' even mention it? could be for some reason the system is not detecting it. | 17:22 |
| uns0b1ll_ | dr_willis: i removed username for security "reasons" its there | 17:22 |
| uns0b1ll_ | dr_willis: on another note i tested and ran xeyes & - so i got that working | 17:22 |
| uns0b1ll_ | dr_willis: how do i forward whole desktop over ? | 17:22 |
| sjonkedispe | the uuid vs. /dev/sdaX may not even be the issue here, i really don't know. | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | uns0b1ll_: normally.. you dont. theres not much of a need to. | 17:23 |
| uns0b1ll_ | dr_willis: well okay then :) | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | uns0b1ll_: run gnome-session and watch out. | 17:23 |
| Polah | dr_willis: MP4 perhaps? It doesn't do AVI or any proprietary formats does it? | 17:23 |
| dome_ | HI all. I'm using unity in Ubuntu, and I'm missing the feature of e16 that if you restored a window from minimized state, it popped up on your currently active desktop, not where you have iconified. Can unity be configured to work this way? | 17:23 |
| MonkeyDust | ja | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | uns0b1ll_: better idea would be to use freenx, or vnc for that sort of task | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | Polah: never really paid attention these days. I can set up a ubuntu box now that plays most all my vidoes with little tweaking on my part. :) | 17:24 |
| uns0b1ll_ | its cool i just ran terminator - i just need few consoles - let me ask u this - how do i increase size of windows ? | 17:24 |
| philwire | dr_willis: hold on | 17:24 |
| ujjain1 | How do I start a program as root? AMD Catalyst Manager, I dont know the path to binary,. | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | uns0b1ll_: i think in terminator you can just drag the edges around. | 17:24 |
| === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker | ||

| dr_willis | :) | 17:24 |

| dr_willis | terminator is handy. I use it all the time | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ujjain1: gksudo command | 17:25 |
| dr_willis | night all. its bed time for me. | 17:25 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 17:25 |
| ujjain1 | oh, there is a 2nd option at the right | 17:25 |
| ujjain1 | dr_willis: night night. | 17:25 |
| uns0b1ll_ | man this things sloowwww | 17:25 |
| ujjain1 | ActionParsnip: gksudo makes me root for a while? thanks | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ujjain1: just for that command :-) | 17:26 |
| ujjain1 | errr, but you dont know the path | 17:26 |
| ujjain1 | to the file? | 17:26 |
| ujjain1 | it's a link in the menu, AMD Catalyst Manager, I hsave no idea how to find out the path, will running gksudo and clicking the link run as root? | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ujjain1: you don't need the path, just need the command | 17:27 |
| ujjain1 | oh, I dont know command either | 17:27 |
| Polah | ujjain1: No. You need to do gksudo catalyst for instance, or whatever program it is that launches the program | 17:27 |
| ujjain1 | I can't rightclick the shortcut to find out | 17:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ujjain1: do you use classic session or unity session? | 17:27 |
| ujjain1 | I dont know, I wanted to find out. | 17:27 |
| Polah | ujjain1: If you drag the launcher to your panel or desktop then look at your properties it should give you that command | 17:27 |
| ujjain1 | Polah: Yeah, that would work yeah | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ujjain1: if you run: alacarte does it ru | 17:28 |

| ujjain1 | ActionParsnip: ah ok, I am not sure if I should switch GUI, so wondered. | 17:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ujjain1: they are fun to try. | 17:31 |
| ujjain1 | right, but I am affraid of leaving junk. | 17:31 |

| ujjain1 | afte rinstalling and removing other GUI's. | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Gotcha | 17:32 |
| ujjain1 | they always have tens of dependencies. | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Could virtualize | 17:32 |
| ujjain1 | right, good way to try. | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Try before you buy | 17:32 |
| ujjain1 | right, Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Xubuntu all run live editions, but I'll probably just search for screenshots first. | 17:33 |

| tosse | hi, i have ssh keys set up and if i log into X and ssh to the hosts it works, but if i ssh into the machine and then ssh to the same host its not accepted, any ideas? | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ujjain1: there may be an addon for file browsing. It can open multiple files in tabs | 17:38 |
| ujjain1 | tosse: How many machines are involved? | 17:38 |
| ujjain1 | tosse: I did not follow it exactly. But you can't ssh from remote host using a locally stored private key. | 17:39 |
| tosse | ujjain1: laptop > server with keys work, but if i ssh into the laptop from a 3rd system and then ssh to the server it doesnt work | 17:39 |

| bjarni | I opted to remove the gedit from the launchpad at one time and i cannot get it in there again. Even if I have it open it will not show it's icon | 17:41 |

| ActionParsnip | Uatec: ask in #ubuntu+1 for oneiric support please | 17:44 |
| ujjain1 | tosse: Yes, I understand. Try ssh -vvv | 17:44 |
| osse | Often I want to see which files a package would install, but I can't find and approachable way to do it. This makes me a sad panda :( What's the easiest to do it? | 17:44 |
| lgp171188 | Myrtti: My pleasure :) | 17:45 |
| mufaza | can anytihng image ubuntu installation for me, but not a physical drive image, only the portion that is actually used up. | 17:45 |
| ujjain1 | tosse: but I am honestly not sure what even identity is, vvv is verbose. | 17:45 |
| mufaza | sorta like Acronis | 17:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Osse: have you read: man dpkg | 17:46 |
| tosse | ujjain1: well, that is -vvv :) not the whole part tho | 17:46 |
| osse | ActionParsnip, hmm '--contents'. Well would you look at that! | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Osse: man pages are magic | 17:47 |

| lithpr | userxxx, not so much | 17:47 |
| n2i | lithpr: what is the problem? | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | userxxx: it can do if you use compiz as WM | 17:47 |
| lithpr | it does compositing and whatnot | 17:47 |
| osse | ActionParsnip, that didn't seem to do the trick. I want to see what files any package in the repos contain, but maybe that's not directly possible | 17:48 |
| lithpr | n2i, It won't authorize to save my life | 17:48 |
| userxxx | ActionParsnip> whats WM? | 17:48 |
| lithpr | Window Manager | 17:49 |
| n2i | lithpr: It cannot load the authorize page? | 17:49 |
| Era | Window Manager | 17:49 |
| Hot2Trot | is there any kind of metadata that ALL files have? I need to describe files without using their name. I need to categorize them some way, like tag them | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Osse: it is, just not sure. Maybe others can help | 17:49 |
| osse | Downloading them with 'apt-get download' and then 'dpkg --contents' works, of course. | 17:49 |
| lithpr | the authorization page comes up, it says I'm authorized, but I'm not. | 17:49 |

| Betrayer | !best | 18:22 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:22 |
| mahdi | 123 | 18:22 |
| Pici | Betrayer: Please stop, you've seen the factoid 3 times now. | 18:22 |
| Starminn | !msgthebot | Betrayer | 18:22 |
| ubottu | Betrayer: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 18:22 |

| rabbi1 | how's unity going, see lot of questions in here, will it be stable by next LTS release ? | 18:22 |
| sjonkedispe | Younder: ubuntu boots fine after a windows session | 18:23 |
| glebihan | rabbi1, unity is stable | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rabbi1: its fine, not bad in Oneiric here | 18:23 |

| ActionParsnip | Userxxx: try some YouTube vids, may help | 18:24 |
| rabbi1 | :) hurray. eagerly waiting for next LTS, to have an experience of unity | 18:24 |
| __puters-suck | "cat /etc/fstab" at the terminal will show you more info, but you have to know what it means. Or just disable suspend. :D | 18:24 |
| Starminn | __puters-suck: I never use suspend or hibernate, so how can I do that? | 18:24 |
| Younder | sjonkedispe, I am almost certain this the problem | 18:25 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | rabbi1: the next LTS isnt scheduled until 2012 | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sjonkedispe: is it a regular install, or have you used wubi? | 18:25 |

| ericincoldohio | i have a laptop with ubuntu and desktop. My desktop has a tv tuner dvr. I travel few times a week. Is there a way I can login and watch my recorded stuff. I tried using the app builtin that lets me login to my desktop (ubuntu desktop), worked, but video/sound didn't come through. Can anyone recomend a link on the subject? | 18:25 |
| sjonkedispe | Younder: to me it seems that a windows session actually corrects the partition, and ubuntu corrupts itself | 18:25 |
| __puters-suck | are you using straight ubuntu with gnome? What version of ubuntu? | 18:25 |
| sjonkedispe | ActionParsnip: no wubi. same disk, different partitions. | 18:25 |
| Younder | sjonkedispe, It is the only thing that would fail in the nature you describe | 18:25 |
| ericincoldohio | i tried googling, but most of the stuff I found was out of date | 18:25 |
| Starminn | __puters-suck: Using cat /etc/fstab it says swap has no mount point | 18:25 |

| Starminn | __puters-suck: Ubuntu 10.10 with GNOME 2.x.x (whatever the latest old GNOME is) | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Userxxx: could find reviews or things like: ubuntu vs mandriva etc | 18:26 |
| __puters-suck | yeah it should not be trying to suspend to disk then since it has nowhere to go LOL. | 18:26 |
| Pici | ujjain1: You should install the package from Canonical's partner repository. | 18:26 |
| whoever | how do you change a docky plugin icon? i have tried compoiz>>personalize>icons. and that changes the theme , I just want to change an icon | 18:26 |
| BenXYZ | Oh wow, Evolution Mail just deleted 9 years of emails from my hotmail account. Turns out it's set to do that by default | 18:26 |
| Skeep | Polah: The code for setting up the getdeb games repositories doesnt seem to do anything. | 18:26 |
| Pici | !partner | ujjain1 | 18:26 |
| ubottu | ujjain1: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 18:26 |

| userxxx | Whats the difference on KDE and Gnome? Can I install Gnome apps on kubuntu? | 18:28 |
| ujjain1 | thanks!! :) works perfectly. | 18:28 |
| Younder | Skeep, simple sudo apt-get install gtk++ | 18:28 |
| firc | The display popup box doesnt show anything > 1024x768 I think | 18:28 |

| Starminn | __puters-suck: /dev/sda5 (according to GParted, which I am inclined to think knows better than I lol) | 18:28 |
| Pici | Skeep: Install the libgtk2.0-dev package. | 18:28 |
| h00k | userxxx: you can. KDE apps generally use the 'QT' toolkit which has a different look-and-feel, Gnome apps usually use GTK. | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Userxxx: yes, you can run gnome apps in kde | 18:28 |
| sjonkedispe | Younder: ok. first ubuntu boot after a windows session is successful. second ubuntu boot attempt (i.e. directly after a successful ubuntu boot) fails, with eternal purple screen. third ubuntu boot attempt fails with short purple screen, then black with blinking cursor, then busy box with gave up waiting and your disk does not exist. | 18:28 |

| ubuntu_question | only for server | 18:28 |
| Polah | Skeep: Did you run apt-get update afterwards? | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | firc: what video chip do you use? | 18:29 |
| Pici | ubuntu_question: I don't think that the desktop CD can do that, but alternate certainly can though. | 18:29 |
| Younder | sjonkedispe, still your partions | 18:29 |
| firc | ActionParsnip: Intel 945GM | 18:29 |
| ubuntu_question | Pici: can you link me to alternate cd? | 18:29 |
| Starminn | userxxx: For example, the program "KolourPaint" is a good demo of KDE's look-and-feel. IT won't look 100% right because you're running it in GNOME, but that's the general "Style" | 18:29 |
| ubuntu_question | please | 18:29 |
| Pici | !alternate | ubuntu_question | 18:29 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_question: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 18:29 |

| __puters-suck | sudo nano /etc/fstab and add /dev/WHATEVERPARTITION none swap sw 0 0 | 18:29 |
| firc | ActionParsnip: And I already have xserver-xorg-video-intel | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Firc: are you fully updated? What release do you have? | 18:30 |
| ujjain1 | Are most Linux programs written in C++? I saw Java gets twice the coverage as C++, I thought C++ was so much more popular. | 18:30 |
| Younder | sjonkedispe, It might | 18:30 |
| firc | ActionParsnip: 11.04! | 18:30 |
| __puters-suck | or edit with gedit would probably be easier for you. {blushes} | 18:30 |
| Phr3d13 | when working with bluetooth, do i need more than gnome-bluetooth? | 18:30 |
| userxxx | Now that just more confusing...GTK and Gnome so where does Compiz come in and XFCE? | 18:30 |
| Starminn | __puters-suck: It's already there. | 18:30 |
| rabbi1 | does ubuntu performs good in intel or amd ? | 18:30 |
| Skeep | Polah: Ah there we go. Sorry i'm still getting my head around the terminal. | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Firc: fully updated? | 18:30 |
| Polah | Starminn: Could you pastebin your fstab please? | 18:30 |
| ubuntu_question | Pici: I have to use bt to get them? | 18:31 |
| rabbi1 | Phr3d13: nop | 18:31 |
| firc | ActionParsnip: I don't think so. But that package is updated, yeah | 18:31 |
| __puters-suck | @polah thanks lol. took the words out of my mouth. | 18:31 |
| sjonkedispe | Younder: can i somehow correct my ubuntu partition? | 18:31 |
| Starminn | Polah: Yeah, I may have misrea d it the first time. If I'm reading it right though it's saying there's no mount point. But yeah, one sec | 18:31 |
| firc | ActionParsnip: xserver-xorg-video-intel. that one. | 18:31 |
| __puters-suck | I came here to ask something, now I forgot ROFL. :D | 18:31 |
| Pici | ubuntu_question: no, there is a regular link at the top of that page. | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Userxxx: gnome and xfce are desktops. Compiz is a window manager. | 18:31 |
| Younder | sjonkedispe, your failure mode is very strange. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it | 18:31 |
| Phr3d13 | how do i add new devices then? all i see are an off/on option | 18:31 |

| Pici | ubuntu_question: you're welcome. | 18:33 |
| lithpr | is there a way to turn off the effect of dragging a window to the top of the screen to be maximized? | 18:33 |
| userxxx | OK so XFCE and Gnome and KDE...their programs will will on each other is that right? | 18:33 |
| __puters-suck | I would go into the gnome power manager and just disable suspend ... because your swap seems to be in order.. hmm | 18:33 |
| Polah | Starminn: Add 0 0 to the end of your /dev/sda2 line, also have you tried UUIDs instead? | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Userxxx: there are light WMs like openbox which don't have all the bells and whistles but run sleeker | 18:34 |
| traubisoda | hi | 18:34 |
| lithpr | userxxx, yes, but if you install a kde app you might get a HUGE number of dependencies, including, possibly, KDE | 18:34 |
| traubisoda | any ideas why doesn't banshee play flac? ubuntu 10.04 | 18:34 |
| Starminn | Polah: What are UUIDs? | 18:34 |
| traubisoda | sry 11.04 | 18:34 |
| Polah | Starminn: Unique identifiers for partitions. If you run sudo blkid you'll get a list of them. You can use them in place of /dev/sdXY in your stab to specify what to mount. | 18:35 |
| Younder | Starminn, universally unique identifier | 18:35 |
| Younder | Starminn, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier | 18:36 |
| Polah | Starminn: You use them as you them from blkid except without the "", i.e. UUID=a0b1168a-9339-41b2-a3a1-a071baabcd22 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1 | 18:36 |
| __puters-suck | {HATES uuid, hard to read, and unless you moved around partitions, no need} | 18:36 |
| userxxx | ActionParsnip> But I like the bells and whistles ;-) | 18:36 |
| Skeep | Thank you very much Polah! Mangler is up and running :D | 18:36 |
| Starminn | Polah: Seems like it would just muck things up more, and 0 0 is already on /dev/sda2 | 18:36 |
| Polah | __puters-suck: You're not supposed to read it though, you should set them to point properly the first time and then be able to look at the mount point to know what device that is (: | 18:36 |

| WormDrink | see thats all cool | 18:37 |
| WormDrink | but problem is I only have ubuntu OS | 18:37 |
| sjonkedispe | Younder: i've been doing dual boots since redhat 6, so i _thought_ i knew enough, but i clearly don't. bbl - reading your link. thanks for the help so far! | 18:38 |
| Starminn | Polah: Oh, it extended beyond the terminal window and apparently it didn't scroll over to catch it all. Here: http://pastie.org/2533168 | 18:38 |
| Polah | WormDrink: Actually easier than creating a USB from Windows | 18:38 |
| __puters-suck | I read cause I like seeing what is going on. It's why I like linux. plus it is good for scripting. {useless for swap but my point is still valid} | 18:38 |
| WormDrink | P{ | 18:38 |
| WormDrink | Polah, but where do I get usb-creator ? | 18:39 |
| Polah | __puters-suck: Can always do mount -l to list them | 18:39 |
| Polah | WormDrink: Ubuntu comes with one built in: System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator, or you can install and use unetbootin | 18:39 |
| WormDrink | oh | 18:39 |
| WormDrink | I lied | 18:39 |
| __puters-suck | true | 18:39 |
| WormDrink | sorry I meant I only have gentoo | 18:39 |
| WormDrink | no ubuntu - or windows | 18:39 |
| Younder | sjonkedispe, Your problems have confused me too. Please give some kind of update of how things are progressing | 18:40 |
| __puters-suck | okay, it is UGLY to me, I know exactly where /dev/sda4 is, but U011324098716340132897 is just ... nasty | 18:40 |
| __puters-suck | :P | 18:40 |
| Polah | WormDrink: Oh, that's quite different. unetbootin might exist in Gentoo as well | 18:40 |
| Polah | __puters-suck: More accurate (: | 18:41 |
| nuclearworm | hello , can some one help to create a bootable cd to upgrade bios? im on the last step | 18:41 |
| __puters-suck | no. there are exactly the same. Thats the point. And they worked fine for over twenty years. | 18:41 |
| === Guest15294 is now known as killabyte | ||
| WormDrink | Polah, thanks - it is there - will use that | 18:41 |
| Polah | __puters-suck: Also means drives get mounted properly if I boot from something else. Normally sda1 is my root, sda2 is my swap and sdb1 is my data partition. If I boot from the minimal ISO, for example, sda1 becomes the USB I'm booted from, sdb1 is root, sdb2 is swap and sdc1 is my data. | 18:42 |
| killabyte | Does anyone have experience with WUBI? | 18:42 |
| WormDrink | __puters-suck, UUID fstab is only way man | 18:43 |
| __puters-suck | they did that already, since THAT had a fstab, too. | 18:43 |
| __puters-suck | its preference. I'm old. I like the old way. I have never once run into a problem with it and I am not switching until I do. | 18:43 |
| killabyte | I want to install Ubuntu on my Acer netbook that Windows 7. Will this work ok? | 18:44 |
| __puters-suck | besides it is more like unix | 18:44 |
| __puters-suck | {crap ... duty calls. I'm off!} | 18:44 |
| Polah | killabyte: To try Ubuntu or actually install and use it? Wubi is more for just making a small installation and trying it in a more-permanent-than-live environment, it's not recommended for a proper, production installation. | 18:45 |
| killabyte | I would like install Ubuntu along with Win7. | 18:45 |
| rumpe1 | killabyte, perhaps you first try the "live"-version directly from the setup-cd/thumbdrive (without any installation) to check hardware compatibility | 18:45 |
| muneeb | hi, how do i restore my .gnupg folder (I want to restore my pub-private keys). If I just copy the whole folder from my old system I'm getting Login Loop | 18:45 |
| killabyte | Ok, I will try that. | 18:46 |
| Polah | killabyte: Yeah, you can do that with moving some partitions around. Like I said, Wubi is for a semi-proper installation alongside Windows that's a bit more than a live session but it's not recommended for a proper, working installation. | 18:46 |
| killabyte | I have noticed that the ¨live¨ version takes at least 5 to 10 minutes just to boot up on most systems. | 18:46 |

| killabyte | I have had much better response with Knoppix as far as live versions go. | 18:47 |
| Polah | killabyte: That's because CDs and USBs typically have lower I/O speeds than hard drives | 18:47 |

| Polah | nuclearworm: Then follow the guide telling you how to create that CD. You can use brasero or some other disc burner to burn the disc. | 18:55 |
| ryan-c | so how do i modify the non-existent xorg.conf so as to not screw up the autodetected config? | 18:55 |
| ryan-c | there is no way to dump what x is using as it's config? | 18:55 |
| glebihan | nuclearworm, then be a little more specific about what your actual issue is | 18:55 |
| Younder | nuclearworm, I know a hacker when I see one ;) | 18:56 |
| ryan-c | also why is it a good thing to have no xorg.conf | 18:56 |
| nuclearworm | Polah , i ve followed it but i got stuck on a step | 18:56 |
| philwire | ok I got a grub error: no such device: (device id here) then grub rescue> | 18:56 |
| Polah | nuclearworm: So we can't help you with that here. We're Ubuntu support, not flashing your BIOS support. | 18:56 |
| n2i | Is it posible to use a mobile as a Bluetooth device for my PC? | 18:56 |
| glebihan | ryan-c, it's neither a good nor a bad thing, it's just that work configuration isn't handled that way anymore by default | 18:56 |

| ryan-c | so how do i get the generated config? | 18:57 |
| glebihan | ryan-c, I think that "sudo X -configure" generates a basic xorg.conf | 18:57 |
| nuclearworm | Polah , ok i ll try to be more specific | 18:57 |
| ryan-c | glebihan: fails on account of X already running | 18:57 |
| philwire | So what can I do with "grub rescue>" ? | 18:57 |
| james296 | no one seems to be talking in that room | 18:57 |
| james296 | about my problem | 18:57 |

| Myrtti | ryan-c: please mind the language | 19:04 |
| Myrtti | no_gravity: which 10 | 19:04 |
| glebihan | no_gravity, 10.04 or 10.10 ? | 19:04 |

| lsv | Ohh.. | 19:07 |
| ryan-c | I don't think "Family Friendly" and "IRC" are compatible, but fine, I can follow rules. | 19:07 |
| glebihan | no_gravity, you may want to try enabling the backports repositories | 19:07 |
| lsv | WinDu1965: I think might help: update-rc.d gdm defaults | 19:07 |
| userxxx | userxxx: /join #xfce on irc.freenode.net | 19:07 |
| no_gravity | glebihan: ok. how do i do that? | 19:07 |
| userxxx | That doesn't seem to work | 19:07 |
| glebihan | !backports | no_gravity | 19:08 |
| ubottu | no_gravity: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 19:08 |
| homtanks | whois ryan-c | 19:08 |
| userxxx | userxxx: /join #xfce | 19:08 |
| userxxx | That doesn't seem to work either | 19:08 |
| VCoolio | userxxx: just type this: /join #xfce | 19:08 |
| userxxx | Coool that worked thanks | 19:09 |
| ryan-c | Pici: Creating an xorg with just a InputDevice pointer section doesn't work | 19:09 |
| sjonkedispe | Younder: i've always installed windows first, then linux. do you imagine doing it the other way around would make a difference? | 19:09 |
| ryan-c | the section seems to be ignored | 19:09 |
| VCoolio | userxxx: if you start typing with / it's a command, else, you talk in the current channel | 19:09 |
| lithpr | is there a way to turn off the effect of dragging a window to the top of the screen to be maximized? | 19:10 |
| Younder | sjonkedispe, It would make it more difficult, but it can be done | 19:10 |
| no_gravity | glebihan: hmm... ok, i copied the first line in my sources.list and changed "lucid" to "lucid-backports". lets see what happens now... | 19:10 |
| no_gravity | glebihan: still no libjpeg8. | 19:10 |
| valyn | when booting off a flash drive on a mac what should you select after you alt-boot | 19:10 |
| glebihan | no_gravity, did you run "sudo apt-get update" ? | 19:11 |
| no_gravity | glebihan: yes | 19:11 |
| sjonkedispe | Younder: i was thinking, could it have a positive impact on my "gave up waiting for root device" situation, and so forth. | 19:11 |
| Younder | sjonkedispe, I wouldn't think so | 19:11 |
| glebihan | no_gravity, then I guess if you really need if it, you'll have to compile it yourself (there doesn't seem to be any ppa for that package for lucid) | 19:11 |
| sjonkedispe | ok | 19:11 |
| eein | how do you tell which NIC is which in NetworkManager? | 19:12 |
| no_gravity | glebihan: "apt-cache search libjpeg" finds libjpeg62. should i use that? | 19:12 |
| ryan-c | Pici: creating a *full* new xorg.conf doesn't work. What is going on? | 19:12 |
| ajf | What's the right way to enable my user account to modify /var/ww? | 19:12 |
| ajf | Change its ownership? Or make a new group for my account and that folder | 19:12 |
| glebihan | no_gravity, if you application is saying it requires libjpeg8 I don't think that would work | 19:12 |
| Pici | ryan-c: I'm on a call at work at the moment, can't respond right this second. | 19:13 |
| no_gravity | glebihan: so how do i compile it? | 19:13 |
| ryan-c | okay | 19:13 |
| WinDu1965 | lsc: update-rc.d gdm defaults did not work, gdm not found | 19:13 |
| ryan-c | so I'm looking at the log | 19:13 |
| manixor | Hey guys, what do you recommend for burning audio CD from Ubuntu? | 19:13 |
| VCoolio | manixor: brasero? | 19:13 |
| valyn | when booting off a flash drive on a mac what should you select after you alt-boot | 19:13 |
| ryan-c | it's detected as an ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint with three buttons (it only has two) | 19:13 |
| manixor | VCoolio, thanks. | 19:14 |
| eein | ajf: depends what you are doing. I usually just make groups but then you have to change the group that folder belongs to | 19:14 |
| glebihan | no_gravity, download the source for maverick for example (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/libjpeg8/8a-1) | 19:14 |
| ajf | eein: Well, the folder is owned by root | 19:14 |
| glebihan | !compile | no_gravity, then | 19:14 |
| ubottu | no_gravity, then: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 19:14 |
| lsv | WinDu1965: so when you boot up the computer just gives you a prompt asking for something like computer_name login: | 19:14 |
| ajf | So I don't see why changing the group matters | 19:14 |
| mamed | can someone help me in finding globalmenuu | 19:15 |
| WinDu1965 | lsv: yes | 19:15 |
| ryan-c | so maybe xorg is ignoring it? | 19:15 |
| lsv | can you log in? | 19:15 |
| no_gravity | glebihan: ok, thank you | 19:15 |
| VCoolio | ajf a folder is owned by a user but accessible/readable/whatever by groups, change group and/or add yourself to group and done; so you can have several users using that folder instead of only owner | 19:16 |
| eein | ajf: you got 3 parts that make up access owner, group, everybody else | 19:16 |
| destiny | hey everyone. had to change screens | 19:16 |
| WinDu1965 | lsv yes, i can, after typing username & pass, X starts | 19:16 |
| lsv | WinDu1965: You can log in right? If you can, what happens when you enter 'startx' | 19:16 |
| lsv | WinDu1965: so you don't need to use startx to get to the GUI? | 19:17 |
| ryan-c | this is ridiculous | 19:17 |
| ajf | eein: OK | 19:17 |
| VCoolio | ajf: ls -la /var to check owner:group and permissions | 19:17 |
| Younder | ryan-c, yes it is | 19:17 |
| eein | ajf: if you leave root as owner and lets say the group is peoplz and you deny access for everyone else your use has to be a member of peoplz to have access | 19:17 |
| WinDu1965 | lsv: dont need to enter startx | 19:17 |
| ajf | eein: yes | 19:18 |
| valyn | when booting off a flash drive on a mac what should you select after you alt-boot | 19:18 |
| ajf | eein: If I were to change the ownership to my account (ajf), root still has access, right? | 19:18 |
| lsv | WinDu1965: mmm... has it always been like this? | 19:18 |
| ujjain1 | err, How can I make the dock appear at the first monitor? | 19:19 |
| Starminn | mamed: It's there by default in 11.04, at the top of the screen | 19:19 |
| WinDu1965 | lsv: i think so | 19:19 |
| eein | ajf: otherwise you are everybody else. so if the group is peoplz and you want to create a new group justus you need to change the folder group to justus and you will probably want to add all the users that were in peoplz to justus so previous users that had access still do | 19:19 |
| ujjain1 | what is the unity dock called? | 19:19 |
| lsv | WinDu1965: and you don't want to look all hacker-ish by typing into a black screen? | 19:19 |
| ajf | eein: I am the only user on this system | 19:19 |
| ajf | Is there any point making a group? | 19:19 |
| VCoolio | ajf: yes, but that's not the way to handle permisions, often means a security risk; if you don't care, do what you like | 19:20 |
| ajf | VCoolio: what is the correct way though? | 19:20 |
| ajf | I have two accounts. root and ajf. I need ajf to be able to do almost anything in /var/ww | 19:20 |
| VCoolio | the group way, like more or less explained above | 19:20 |
| ajf | ah | 19:20 |
| ajf | OK | 19:20 |
| Starminn | mamed: In Unity, anyway. In GNOME2, this is it: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ | 19:20 |
| WinDu1965 | lsv: nah, going to give this laptop to my son | 19:20 |
| lsv | WinDu1965: aah ok. | 19:21 |
| eein | ajf: again it kinda depends the big thing is you dont want to break permissions previously had and you dont want to mess stuff up down the road. but on a one user box you can fix most things pretty quickly | 19:21 |
| VCoolio | so check group of the folder, add yourself to that group; some stuff may not work if configured with wrong permissions | 19:22 |
| Younder | eein, it can.. Because what you are suggesting sounds like major surgery | 19:22 |
| GigaGiga1 | woot woot | 19:23 |
| glebihan | WinDu1965, could you pastebin your /etc/init/gdm file ? | 19:23 |
| mcdvojka | news | 19:24 |
| eein | Younder: which suggestion. my primary suggestion was to make a group. | 19:24 |
| GigaGiga1 | whats everyone | 19:24 |
| GigaGiga1 | whats up | 19:24 |
| valyn | will dual booting OSX and W7 cause a problem for booting off of a flash drive on a macbook pro? | 19:24 |
| ajf | VCoolio: I made a www group, put me in that group, changed ownership of /var/www to that group, and gave group +rwx for /var/www | 19:24 |
| lsv | WinDu1965: do you have gdm or the one that starts with the k, I forgot the name | 19:24 |
| WinDu1965 | glebihan: just realised something, this is not a gnome, but kde | 19:24 |
| GigaGiga1 | valyn i have dual booting on mine no problems at all | 19:24 |
| WinDu1965 | how stupid | 19:24 |
| GigaGiga1 | just depends if your hardware loads up correctly | 19:25 |
| glebihan | WindPower, ok then that would be kdm | 19:25 |
| GigaGiga1 | drivers] | 19:25 |
| Younder | eein, a group sounds fine. I feel I am fumbling in the blind | 19:25 |
| VCoolio | ajf: not ownership, group I hope, like "chown -R root:www /var/www", but good; login again or changed group belongings won't work yet for you | 19:25 |
| jorge_ | 11675978 | 19:25 |
| jorge_ | exit | 19:25 |
| lsv | WinDu1965: have you solved the problem? | 19:25 |
| ajf | VCoolio: yes, I meant changed groop | 19:26 |
| ryan-c | anybody else know how to turn on middle click emulation in x? | 19:26 |
| GigaGiga1 | woot woot | 19:26 |

| w30 | valyn, I donno which ones | 19:28 |
| rawfodog | smw I dont get it | 19:28 |
| valyn | w30 would there be documentation on the website for the flash drive that will say? | 19:28 |
| rawfodog | smw do I enter that into terminal ? Can you be a bit more clear. Thank you for your help :D | 19:28 |
| smw | rawfodog, ssh-add path/to/pem is a command to be typed in a terminal | 19:28 |
| rawfodog | k | 19:28 |
| VCoolio | try mounting to local folder using sshfs, then you can browse, if you mean that | 19:29 |
| w30 | valn no, it's the iso problem check the errata for the iso | 19:29 |

| Slade-- | is there a way to set a directory to automatically add group write permissions to any files created in it? | 19:29 |
| rawfodog | sftp://ubuntu@host ??? Do you mean amazon ec2 ? | 19:30 |
| valyn | w30 well I'm trying to boot ubuntu so does that mean its a problem with the ubuntu iso? | 19:30 |
| smw | rawfodog, replace "host" with the hostname | 19:30 |

| stephenthemartyr | can i download iso onto comp[uter and save to hard drive without making a dvd or cd? | 19:30 |
| rawfodog | ok, also the file manager doesnt allow me to enter the url ??? | 19:31 |
| lsv | stephenthemartyr: yes, yes you can. | 19:31 |
| stephenthemartyr | is it hard to do? | 19:31 |
| ryan-c | there, got the touchpad to behave | 19:31 |
| lsv | stephenthemartyr: what iso are you trying to download? | 19:31 |
| juniour | hi | 19:31 |
| lsv | juniour: hi | 19:31 |
| stephenthemartyr | avlinux | 19:31 |
| w30 | valyn, the iso is transfered to the first part of the flash drive, the bios or EFI part. If the iso can't handle the EFI part there is trouble. That's what I understand any way | 19:31 |
| ajf | VCoolio: new problem now. I added the only file in /var/www, index.html, to the right group and gave it the right permissions | 19:31 |
| VCoolio | rawfodog: if you can ssh, use sshfs user@host:/path Folder where folder is existing and empty folder | 19:31 |
| ajf | but now I can't delete it | 19:31 |
| ajf | what am I doing wrong? | 19:32 |
| smw | rawfodog, ctrl+l | 19:32 |
| stephenthemartyr | lsv: avlinux | 19:32 |
| lordleemo | j | 19:32 |
| valyn | w30, is there a way of fixing it without getting a different flash drive | 19:32 |
| smw | rawfodog, ctrl+l gives you a url bar in many programs. | 19:32 |
| juniour | lsv you have any idea of virtualbox | 19:32 |
| smw | rawfodog, it is sort of standard. like ctrl+p for print | 19:32 |
| GigaGiga1 | yes use VMWARE | 19:32 |
| lsv | stephenthemartyr: http://www.bandshed.net/DownloadInstall.html | 19:32 |
| VCoolio | ajf: because root owns it? if you don't own it, you can't delete it, unless using sudo; you can read, write, execute as group | 19:33 |

| Pici | teddyroosebelt: 'split' | 19:49 |

| kusznir | Hi all: I'm having increasing numbers of issues caused by apparmour on ubuntu 11.04. Where's the best place to go for help? | 19:50 |
| userxxx | does LXDE mean you just don't need a graphic card? | 19:50 |
| gentoo-intel | kusznir, default apparmor profile? | 19:50 |
| gentoo-intel | or have you made a lot yourself | 19:51 |
| kusznir | Yea, at least, I didn't make any changes to it. | 19:51 |
| w30 | teddyroosebelt, would split be what yo want | 19:51 |
| A_J | gentoo-intel, nothing. Gonna get a new sound card so checking if it would work. the Site says : This hardware has no volume controls; use PulseAudio.Front panel and maybe the HP amp do not work | 19:51 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | userxxx: What is LXDE for, if you don't have a monitor? :P | 19:51 |
| A_J | did not understand what that means | 19:51 |
| gentoo-intel | A_J, what card is it? | 19:51 |
| kusznir | Well, I made one line to turn off apparmour for evince, required for it to function for users at all. | 19:51 |
| teddyroosebelt | Pici, i tried it didn't work out. i ran tar cvzf - backup.rar | split - d -b 200m - backup.rar. | 19:51 |
| dooglus | hello | 19:51 |
| A_J | gentoo-intel, : http://bit.ly/pOmYPD | 19:51 |
| Younder | A_J: seems pretty obvious to me | 19:51 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | !hello | 19:51 |
| kusznir | gentoo-intel, The only apparmour change I made is apparmor_parser -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince | 19:51 |
| w30 | teddyroosebelt, then cat to put them back together | 19:51 |
| kusznir | Without that, evince fails to run for any user. | 19:52 |
| gentoo-intel | A_J, i have the xonar ds and it works fine. the drivers are built in the kernel for the xonar cards | 19:52 |
| userxxx | No if you what to use your hard instead of toilet paper he he. It's a light weight window manager | 19:52 |
| A_J | gentoo-intel, all features work well | 19:52 |
| teddyroosebelt | w30, it said extra operand backups.rar and didn't output anything | 19:52 |
| kusznir | gentoo-intel, I believe the root of my problems are my user home directories are on an NFS mounted volume (eg, reside on a dedicated fileserver) | 19:52 |
| Guest61297 | If uname -a tells me I have a x86_64, then that belongs to the class "amd64", right? | 19:52 |
| gentoo-intel | A_J, yes, i get all the volume controls in alsamixer, but i only use plain stereo, it works and sounds great | 19:52 |
| gentoo-intel | kusznir, it probably is. apparmor default profiles are set to generic locations afaik | 19:53 |
| A_J | thanks gentoo-intel. I'm planning on ordering it. Any Problems/ drawbacks ? | 19:53 |
| gentoo-intel | so youll have to just change them yourself | 19:53 |
| gentoo-intel | A_J, afaik the DG is pretty similar to the DS. i found it sounded better than onboard. all works 100% fine | 19:54 |
| gentoo-intel | v good cards | 19:54 |
| Dylan2236 | Hey guys. I have A windows XP Retail ISO and I was wondering is there anyway to put that on A USB from Ubuntu? | 19:54 |
