| Nickel | nice | 00:04 |

| B0g4r7 | Nickel, you will need to add the virtualbox repo to apt. | 00:05 |
| Nickel | repository? | 00:05 |

| oakman | during ubuntu installation; how come it does not ask for root password | 00:11 |
| rww | !noroot | 00:11 |
| ubottu | We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 00:11 |
| nuclearworm | what is mount point for? | 00:11 |
| rww | !root | 00:11 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 00:11 |

| jeremy-77 | if you have 2 hard drives both 250 gig ide and one is set as master and one is slave and you install ubuntu on the master is it normal for ubuntu to put grub or any other part of boot up on the slave hard drive? im asking cause after install and then removing second ide slave and setting other drive as single master it has the OS but no boot loader or grub | 00:36 |
| coz_ | jeremy-77, I have 2 hard drives one with window one with ubuntu...grub is put onto the windows disk by default,, I know you can dictate where it is installed but I would suggest the #grub channel for detailed info on that | 00:38 |

| Roasted | how can I get into that? My only user on this system is set to auto login. :( | 01:08 |
| Roasted | so I dont have a chance to hit the login screen to change anything | 01:08 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, there is a recovery boot at the grub menu, tap shift if you never see grub to bring it up at powering on. | 01:09 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, which distro are you running? | 01:10 |

| doofy_ | My ubuntu seems to be booting fine, but i can't get the login screen or X to work properly. I can SSH to the machine and open up other terminals on the physical box, but the gui boots in to a solid purple screen | 01:15 |

| hfsv | What is a good media player for ubuntu? | 01:17 |
| KM0201 | oakman: thats my point, sudo -i, is to make a terminal "stay" with root privileges, until you exit it or close the terminal.. to my knowledge, there is no gui equivalent | 01:17 |

| ubottu | oakman do some reading: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE).

| eman_ | is there a version of samba that works between non-windows machines? | 01:21 |
| fendur | I am not having luck changing my window manager in 10.04. I've tried a couple settings in gconf-editor and I've tried using the option at the bottom of the gdm login screen. I'm trying to use "dwm" -- a simple window manager. Any tips? | 01:21 |
| KM0201 | eman_: linux and mac both support samba... so.. yes there's aversion that works between non-windows machiens, its samba | 01:21 |
| coz_ | oakman, you can also open nautilus with gksudo nautilus and do things as if root | 01:21 |
| eman_ | ie frinstance two ubuntu boxes | 01:21 |
| coz_ | fendur, its likely you have to log off and after putting in your password before hitting enter,, change the session to dwm | 01:22 |
| KM0201 | eman_: for two linux users, you can use NFS, or just use samba | 01:22 |
| eman_ | but not for file shareing from ubuntu | 01:22 |
| eman_ | cannot use samba for two linux users | 01:22 |
| coz_ | fendur, you could also try in terminal dwm --replac & disown | 01:22 |
| KM0201 | eman_: lol, yes you can | 01:22 |
| coz_ | fendur, rather dwm --replace & disown | 01:23 |
| fendur | coz: odd. dwm doesn't have a --replace. I' | 01:23 |
| fendur | ll try the login method you propose. | 01:23 |
| coz_ | fendur, then log off and try changing the session to dwm | 01:23 |
| eman_ | km0201 what version | 01:23 |
| KM0201 | eman_: what verson of what? | 01:23 |
| eman_ | linux/samba | 01:23 |
| eman_ | work | 01:23 |
| KM0201 | any/any | 01:23 |
| eman_ | wrong wrong | 01:24 |
| eman_ | not nautilus | 01:24 |
| KM0201 | eman_: lol, ok.. i'm not gonna argue with you, but you have no clue | 01:24 |
| KM0201 | eman_: i didn't say anything about nautilus | 01:24 |
| eman_ | trying to share in nautilus gives samba errors | 01:24 |
| fendur | coz_: I had no luck with that. I chose my user, typed password, changed the wm option to dwm, and pressed enter. | 01:24 |
| Roasted | dang, I'm still getting white screens instead of the screensaver | 01:25 |
| KM0201 | eman_: then you probably don't know what you're doing, thats the only thing i can figure, because it works fine | 01:25 |
| coz_ | fendur, then you may have to check online about this,, I have not used dwm so I may have it all wrong | 01:25 |
| eman_ | what versisons | 01:25 |
| eman_ | 10.10 does not | 01:25 |
| fendur | coz_: thank you. | 01:25 |
| KM0201 | eman_: i keep trying to tell you, it doesn't matter, and yes it does | 01:25 |
| coz_ | fendur, let me search ,, hold on | 01:25 |
| ruconse | ubuntu, anyone knows the sftp protocol version 4, does Linux support it? | 01:26 |

| KM0201 | Roasted: ATI | 01:26 |
| eman_ | ahh you must lead a charmed life | 01:26 |
| chalcedony | Roasted, i have yet to enjoy that bug, but so far 11.04 has had others | 01:26 |
| Roasted | KM0201, nvidia | 01:26 |
| eman_ | just a sec | 01:26 |
| KM0201 | IdleOne: i'm not arguing, he's telling me it doesn't work, and i know better | 01:26 |
| Roasted | chalcedony, yeah, considering htis is just for a HTPC, I'm thinking 10.04 might be safer. | 01:26 |

| IdleOne | KM0201: I know you know better, this is why I am asking you to get to the actual issue :) | 01:27 |
| fendur | coz_: i'd love to hear what you find. I certainly have looked. A lot of the advise doesn't seem possible due to various differences between instructions and what I see here on my desktop. | 01:27 |
| Roasted | chalcedony, just saddens me I run into something like this to begin with. | 01:27 |
| chalcedony | Roasted, 10.10 was much better than either 10.04 or 11.04 | 01:27 |
| KM0201 | IdleOne: well, i hav an issue w/ someone telling me i'm wrong, when they are asking me for help (and i know otherwise) | 01:27 |
| SetiAmon | So I ripped pulse/alsa off and installed oss4 to see if that resolves sound issues | 01:27 |
| Roasted | chalcedony, disagree. but to each his own. | 01:27 |
| SetiAmon | well sound is better...But how do i controll volume now | 01:27 |

| dr_willis | Roasted: im finding 11.10 working better for my Nvidia system then 10.04 or 11.04 did. :) which is good news. | 01:28 |
| IdleOne | oakman: Ubuntu does not support logging in as root | 01:28 |
| Roasted | dr_willis, nice, nice. I wonder if 11.10 is safe enough to install on a HTPC... but considering its just a HTPC... I suppose it cant be bad? | 01:28 |
| Roasted | dr_willis, after all, can't I update 11.10 if I go that route to be 100% current when its finally released? or would I have to do a fresh install? | 01:29 |
| eman_ | like that one | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | Roasted: for now. theres going go be quite a few updates untill its released. You canupgrade yes. | 01:29 |
| Roasted | I wonder if that would be smarter than 10.04 or trying to fix 11.04.... | 01:29 |

| Roasted | dr_willis, okay. I wasn't sure if I had to wait till a certain stage to upgrade it as the final edition though. | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | oakman: Ubuntu does not have direct logging in as root enabled by default. | 01:29 |
| urlin2u | oakman, where? | 01:29 |
| oakman | i just typed username "root" | 01:29 |

| Shirakawasuna | but I'll read anything anyone says about it when i get back! | 01:51 |
| KM0201 | eman_: well, first, there no entry in your smb.conf for any shares.. so it's logical that samba is not sharing anything | 01:51 |

| KM0201 | chipmonk: no real need to use nautilus.. | 02:05 |

| rypervenche | Superdave_: Or are you only using keys? | 02:41 |

| maxtmahem | Okay I'm going crazy somebody is calling me though gtalk (I'm using empathy) and the dang thing is rinigng and ringing, but I can't figure out how to answer it! | 02:43 |
| Xeneth | how do you "address the recipient"? I see it done, don't know the syntax. | 02:43 |
| rypervenche | Superdave_: Still sounds like a port forwarding issue if you can do it on your local network. | 02:43 |
| Superdave_ | rypervenche: Yeah, but it's forwarded in my router... | 02:43 |
| zephyr | Xeneth: Try this, double click on the person's name who is calling you. Then in that personal IM-window, click on Contact and see if an option for answering is thee. | 02:44 |
| kristina | hey guys, how can I log in as root without sudo and logging in with the user account? | 02:44 |
| rypervenche | Superdave_: pastebin your sshd_config pleaes | 02:44 |
| zephyr | kristina: Wait wait. Pause & Stop... When you mention "the user account", do you mean root? | 02:45 |
| zephyr | Or your own personal account? | 02:45 |
| Superdave_ | rypervenche: ok. how do I pastebin | 02:45 |
| netyire | kristna: yes, but that would defeat much of the in-built security measures | 02:46 |
| rypervenche | Superdave_: pastebin.com | 02:46 |
| kristina | zephr, no, I want to log in as root, not my personal account. | 02:46 |
| Xeneth | zephyr, I am using Xchat. Double click does nothing. I see "Xeneth: ..." when you address me, and it does show red. is there a syntax for that, or do I just have to put the name with colon? | 02:46 |
| netyire | kristina: it isn't a good idea, sudo is much better, but if you want type 'su' and enter the password to become root | 02:46 |
| netyire | or grant yourself superuser privileges under the users & groups settings | 02:47 |
| kristina | I want to directly log into root without using sudo or su. | 02:47 |
| netyire | good luck, may the force watch over you... | 02:47 |
| Loshki | kristina: why do you need to login *directly* as root? | 02:47 |
| Superdave_ | rypervenche: http://pastebin.com/EHhsfPLN | 02:48 |
| Xeneth | kristina: Not a good Idea, but to do it, you need to assign root a password first, then you log in like normal. | 02:48 |
| zephyr | kristina: You are better off doing the following. 1st. Open up terminal. 2nd. Type in this command: su <----- You're only then asked for root password once and then you can do any command from there. | 02:48 |
| kristina | Loshki, i deleted some files in my home folder and now I'm trying to use extundelete to undelete files and i need to keep sda5 unmounted | 02:48 |

| dt_flys | <BluebirdShao> | 02:49 |
| zephyr | Logging in as "root" as you would with your "Personal user account" is a horrible idea as mentioned previously Xeneth and others. | 02:49 |
| rypervenche | Superdave_: comment out the ListenAddress | 02:49 |
| rypervenche | Superdave_: Then "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" | 02:50 |
| maxtmahem | BluebirdShao: Ditto, I pretty much hate Oracle, but VirtualBox is pretty good. | 02:50 |
| zephyr | BluebirdShao: How much ram you got? I suggest VirtualBox | 02:50 |
| rickup | I pretty much hate Oracle too | 02:50 |
| kristina | Xeneth, Zephr, i deleted some files in my home folder and now I'm trying to use extundelete to undelete files and i need to keep sda5 unmounted | 02:50 |
| BluebirdShao | rickup: I wanna try windows 8, so it must install VMware 8. | 02:50 |
| Loshki | kristina: Tricky. You'll need to do as Xeneth said, then... | 02:50 |
| jrib | Superdave_, rypervenche: should use service command instead of /etc/init.d | 02:50 |
| Xeneth | zephyr: Thus the "bad Idea" I added. :P | 02:50 |
| rickup | yeah wow that sounds like fun | 02:51 |
| jrib | kristina: use recovery mode | 02:51 |
| BluebirdShao | zephyr: 2 GB RAM | 02:51 |
| jrib | kristina: (and select root prompt) | 02:51 |
| kristina | Xeneth, Loshki, isn't there a default root password? | 02:51 |

| rypervenche | Superdave_: So yeah, run "sudo service ssh restart" | 02:51 |
| kristina | jrib, how do I start up recovery mode, use the recovery kernel? | 02:52 |
| zephyr | BluebirdShao: That's more than enough. See. (I only have 1GB here). | 02:52 |
| Loshki | kristina: absolutely not. By default, you cannot login as root on Ubuntu... | 02:52 |
| jrib | kristina: it's an option at the grub selection screen (you can see the grub screen by holding shift during boot) | 02:52 |
| zephyr | Virtualbox is what I use and it's not slow. | 02:52 |
| Xeneth | Root by default is inactive". Root comands are normally done by a superuser with the "sudo" command. AKA: sudo chown user folder/ | 02:52 |
| Superdave_ | rypervenche: ok. how the freak do I get vim to edit. | 02:52 |

| jrib | oakman: googling a bit someone said md5deep is faster but mostly I found people saying the bottleneck was I/O, not the md5sum program. I must go now though, good night | 03:01 |
| Superdave_ | rypervenche: if it helps at all, my goal is to do dynamic tunneling | 03:02 |
| Phr3d13 | which of these video formats is better? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/59/screenshotkrwe.png/ and what is the command for ffmpeg to convert a file to the better of the two settings? | 03:03 |
| Xeneth | zeph | 03:04 |
| rypervenche | Phr3d13: Go with the one on the right I suppose. | 03:04 |
| UnrealPancake | hello | 03:05 |
| zephyr | Xeneth: Okay, try the first 5 letters then. xD | 03:05 |
| Phr3d13 | ok, any ideas what the command should look like? | 03:05 |
| === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 | ||
| Loshki | oakman: come to think of it, what do you mean by 'too slow'? How big are 'big files', and why what's your hurry? | 03:05 |
| Xeneth | zephyr, got it. :) | 03:05 |
| zephyr | Xeneth: (What happens is that, sometimes, other people may have names that are spelled alike). | 03:05 |
| UnrealPancake | I need help Dual Booting / Installing Ubuntu With Windows 7 64-bit. would anybody be willing to help? | 03:05 |
| zephyr | So in case, you might have to hit tab again. | 03:06 |
| rypervenche | Superdave_: The only things I can think of that would be preventing you from being able to SSH into your system would be your config file and your firewall. | 03:06 |
| zephyr | And again until the correct name appears. | 03:06 |
| Phr3d13 | UnrealPancake, is windows already installed? | 03:06 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: yes. | 03:06 |
| Xeneth | zephyr, There just was no indication that it was differant then all the other text I sent. I'm good now. Thanks agian. | 03:06 |
| Superdave_ | rypervenche: is there a system firewall that would be blocking it? because I don't have one anywhere else... | 03:07 |
| h0sting | someone tells me how to set up an FTP | 03:09 |
| Phr3d13 | UnrealPancake, reboot with the disc in the drive, follow the prompts, if ya get stuck and have something to browse the web, http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony | 03:09 |
| h0sting | My ftp interprets .php file I need to save | 03:09 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: I dont have a disk | 03:10 |
| Phr3d13 | have you had success booting from usb device before? | 03:10 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: I do not know, I have dual booted My Desktop With Windows XP and Ubuntu, but I am trying it on my brand new laptop | 03:11 |
| Xeneth | Superdave_, Have you verified that the service is listening to the correct port with netstat? | 03:12 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: so I dont know for sure if it will boot from a USB drive | 03:12 |
| Phr3d13 | do you have a blank cd/dvd? | 03:12 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: no. But I have a 4 GB USB | 03:12 |
| Superdave_ | Xeneth: It probably is, but give me the process for netstat just so I can be sure | 03:12 |
| Phr3d13 | do you have the ubuntu iso? | 03:13 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: no. | 03:13 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: Use this software tomake your USB drive bootable: unetbootin You can apt-get it/download it from their website. This works for mr. | 03:13 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: actually I DOnt Know | 03:13 |
| Xeneth | Superdave_, sorry, A noob at linux myself. I know the command in windows but not on a linux machine. | 03:13 |
| Xeneth | Superdave_, I just know it's netstat | 03:13 |
| Phr3d13 | ubuntu.com, download from whatever option best suits your needs | 03:13 |
| UnrealPancake | I did | 03:14 |
| UnrealPancake | I chose 2 different options and both options arent fully allowing me | 03:14 |
| Loshki | Superdave_: try: netstat -an | 03:14 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: If you have like 800GB of free space on that drive. You should move ALL your files to a single folder on USB drive. Before making your usb Bootable. (In case you're lazy to actually want to format). | 03:14 |
| Superdave_ | Loshki: k, what am I looking for for ssh? | 03:15 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: why? | 03:15 |
| Loshki | Superdave_: a line like this: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 03:16 |
| zephyr | Superdave_: Don't feel "low" on yourself. I don't know the commands either. When I need help with linux, I usually google up for commands to use in terminal. You should by now be familar with the cd command in windows. You can do the same thing in linux. | 03:16 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake, thought you want to install ubuntu or at least test it out from USB flash drive. | 03:16 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: I want to Dual Install Ubuntu with windows 7 | 03:17 |
| Xeneth | Superdave_, Can you connect from inside the network? | 03:18 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake, ah that's still do-able. All it takes is one USB drive with at least 800-1G of free space. | 03:19 |
| Phr3d13 | once done downloading, mount the iso with a virtual drive software, navigate to the "drive" in explorer and find "usb-creator.exe", follow prompts, wait, then follow previous instructions | 03:19 |
| Xeneth | Superdave_, remeber you saying you where using port forwarding on a router | 03:19 |
| Superdave_ | Xeneth: yep. The port is forwarded in my router too, and It doesn't make any sense why this wouldn't work... | 03:19 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: I have about 600 GB free on my HDD and a 4 GB flsh drive | 03:19 |
| UnrealPancake | how do I do it? | 03:19 |
| TeeAl | Just had one of those WTF moments where I accidentaly ran "mke2fs /dev/sda1" (windows NTFS partition) instead of "mke2fs /dev/sdb1" (flash drive). I can still read the partition content, though it wont boot. what now? | 03:19 |
| Xeneth | Superdave_, So if it connects from inside the network, it's on the router. Does the router have SSH setup too? | 03:20 |
| Phr3d13 | UnrealPancake, did you see my instructions? | 03:20 |
| tsukasa_ | has anyone done bash autocompletion before and looking for some freelance stuff? figured i'd ask in here before hiring someone from china | 03:21 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ <----- That software will put "ubuntu" inside your USB flash drive. When you turn on your computer, you can ask it to boot from your USB flash drive. | 03:21 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: I did. But I dont have a CD | 03:21 |
| wildbat | !recovery | TeeAI try testdisk/photorec. | 03:21 |
| ubottu | TeeAI try testdisk/photorec.: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 03:21 |
| Phr3d13 | UnrealPancake, read the rest of my instructions | 03:21 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: about the ubuntu.com and download | 03:22 |
| wildbat | !undelete| oops this one ,TeeAl | 03:22 |
| ubottu | oops this one ,TeeAl: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 03:22 |
| Superdave_ | Xeneth: Maybe... It's a cisco small business router, so It may be that advanced, but I don't use it... You think I should try a different port? | 03:22 |
| SetiAmon | wHAT WAS THE | 03:22 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: I have downloaded 3 different things | 03:22 |
| UnrealPancake | none helped | 03:22 |
| SetiAmon | what was the shortcut for a filename in terminal like shift or tab or something? | 03:22 |
| bastidrazor | !tab > SetiAmon | 03:22 |
| ubottu | SetiAmon, please see my private message | 03:22 |
| Xeneth | Superdave_, Worth a shot. I use a Cisco 810 at home, and I had to change the public port to get it working. That's why I thought of it. | 03:23 |
| SetiAmon | Weird tab isn't completing filename in terminal | 03:23 |
| TeeAl | wildbat: I have the file content fully readable, it's just unbootable and shown as an ext2 partition in /etc/mtab | 03:23 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: which one should I pick for the distribution? | 03:23 |
| bsmith093 | !tab bsmith093 | 03:23 |
| Xeneth | Superdave_, May be the Cisco that is refusing because it's not setup. | 03:24 |
| UnrealPancake | I have a 64 bit comp | 03:24 |
| TeeAl | wildbat: *blkid | 03:24 |
| Superdave_ | Xeneth: Ok. Thanks. We'll see if that works :P Do you have a suggested port range that I should try? | 03:24 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake, You download Ubuntu (It's an ISO/CD). You do have to burn it. Unetbootin will extract the .ISO you downloaded and put it on your flash drive. (Yes, it's like burning onto Flashdrive but that's not the appropriate TERM to say). | 03:24 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: Ivhave a 64 bit comp | 03:24 |
| Phr3d13 | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download select 64 bit, hit start download, while waiting for download, read the rest of the page, clicking the show me how's if needed | 03:24 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake, Then pick the 64bit version. | 03:24 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: I did that link already | 03:24 |
| Phr3d13 | afk | 03:24 |
| Xeneth | Superdave_, Just don't overlap, otherwise, it does not matter. Maybe 202, 222, 2222, ect. That way it's easier to remember. | 03:25 |
| TeeAl | maybe if there was some way to convert it back to ntfs and reverse the process somehow | 03:25 |
| Phr3d13 | read the rest of the page, clicking the show me how's if needed | 03:25 |
| Loshki | TeeAl: copy the data somewhere safe before you begin messing with the partition. Worst case, you may have to reinstall windows from scratch... | 03:25 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: 11.04 live? net install? hd media? | 03:25 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: I tried | 03:25 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: 10.04 Live. | 03:26 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: whats the difference between 10.04 and 11.04? | 03:26 |
| wildbat | TeeAI of coz it won't boot. ~ if you can still mount it as NTFS and read , back it up as needed , use testdisk change the partition type back to NTFS. or else backup the data and reformat to ntfs then restore the data. | 03:26 |
| TeeAl | wildbat: It gets auto-mounted as ext2 | 03:27 |
| TeeAl | and everything is there | 03:27 |
| TeeAl | that's the weird thing about it | 03:27 |
| k1dd1saster | yoo | 03:28 |
| Phr3d13 | UnrealPancake, make yours look like mine http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/192/screenshot1wo.png/ then click the big orange start download button | 03:28 |
| wildbat | TeeAI, that's strange. try manually mount as NTFS (readonly first), see if any errors. | 03:28 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: ok | 03:29 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: but whats the difference between 10.04 and 11.04? | 03:29 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: Mainly, the UNITY/Gnome3 shell/setup. Ubuntu Classic (Gnome 2). http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/Taan4vBrjGI/AAAAAAAAD9w/mJIWXge_bo0/11.04classic-session.png and Ubuntu Unity(Gnome 3-ish but not really gnome): http://static.arstechnica.com/unity-multi-selector.png | 03:29 |
| ljsoftnet | how do i uninstall dockbarx? | 03:29 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: I did that already. I have the files downloaded | 03:29 |
| TeeAl | wildbat: oh wait, my bad. since last reboot they switched. it is indeed marked as ntfs. | 03:30 |
| Phr3d13 | 10.04 os older but LTS (Long Term Support), 11.04 newer, some stuff could possibly be buggy | 03:30 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: In Ubuntu 11.04, you can use Gnome Classic in case you do not like Default Ubuntu Unity. | 03:30 |
| Phr3d13 | UnrealPancake, click the show me how next to step 2, if you're still having issues ask | 03:30 |
| UnrealPancake | Phr3d13: I did. | 03:31 |
| Superdave_ | Xeneth: Thanks. i'll try that. | 03:31 |
| TeeAl | wildbat: from your experience, do you think switching it to ntfs using testdisk would do the trick? | 03:31 |
| wildbat | TeeAI, good then, repair the partition in partition to ntfs with testdisk, and repair bootsect if needed. | 03:31 |
| luchenbill | is it possible to install a chroot to run a lamp server in? | 03:32 |
| TeeAl | wildbat: will do. thank you very, very much! | 03:32 |
| Xeneth | UnrealPancake, To be expected, but 11.04 uses more resources. My old laptop could not work with it, so the age/power of the computer should be considered. | 03:32 |
| wildbat | TeeAl: if it mount w/o error it should be fine. thou ~ data up important data is better. chkdsk in windows after that. | 03:33 |
| UnrealPancake | I have a brand new ASUS U46E | 03:33 |
| r3m | Hi all, is it normal that my ubuntu 10.04 do not use the bottom bar to put open windows? i need to alt+tab to see the opened windows | 03:33 |
| UnrealPancake | I have a brand new ASUS U46E - Xeneth | 03:33 |
| zephyr | luchenbill: ISPConfig server has that feature. Yes it uses Linux (Ubuntu I'm assuming you want to use), Yes it has Apache, Mysql and PHP. ISPconfig as I know uses CHroot. | 03:33 |
| luchenbill | zephyr yeah, i just installed 11.04 and I have never heard my computer run so quietly lol | 03:34 |
| zephyr | luchenbill: Actually. ISPconfig is not a server, but it's a Control Panel for a server. (They expect you to install ISP config on a fresh newly made server). | 03:34 |
| luchenbill | and I wanted to do some local php development, without risk of getting pwned | 03:34 |
| wildbat | r3m: by default no, you may have removed the panel. add the Window List back or !resetpanel. | 03:34 |
| r3m | wildbat: thanks | 03:35 |
| Xeneth | UnrealPancake, In that case, it's mostly up to preference. My suggestion is to make a live CD of both, and test each. When you decide, it's simply a matter or installing from the disk. | 03:35 |
| zephyr | luchenbill: Lol, is it your personal computer? You should have to worry about getting pwned. xD | 03:35 |
| r3m | !resetpanel r3m | 03:35 |
| UnrealPancake | Xeneth: k | 03:35 |
| r3m | !resetpanel | 03:35 |
| ubottu | To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 03:35 |
| luchenbill | haha yeah it's my personal computer | 03:36 |
| zephyr | luchenbill, In fact, I can be as open with security all I want, a person shouldn't have to worry unless it's a public server that is NOT inside your House. O_O | 03:36 |
| r3m | wildbat: thanks a lot! | 03:36 |
| luchenbill | well, there are ways to break out of chroot anyways no? | 03:36 |
| zephyr | luchenbill, now to not get pwned. You follow simple common security tips. Like "Don't share passwords, set proper file & directory permissions". | 03:37 |
| luchenbill | yeah i'm not worried about local security, just remote | 03:37 |
| zephyr | luchenbill: Here is what I'm doing "Right now". I'm using: LiteSpeedTech. http://www.litespeedtech.com/ Basically, apache/php on crack. | 03:37 |
| luchenbill | awesome i'll look into that! | 03:38 |
| zephyr | luchenbill, do you have people accessing your computer? Why not just use router security? If no body knows your IP/host, there should be no worries. | 03:38 |
| luchenbill | well I mean i'm here on irc with my ip exposed etc. i'm paranoid I guess :| | 03:39 |
| r3m | I always need to type my password twice to login, the first time it always said bad password. i reboot like 20 time and it always do that... is it because my home folder is crypted | 03:39 |
| luchenbill | I guess I need to study some router security techniques :) | 03:39 |
| zephyr | luchenbill, if you do not like litespeed. What I used to do is this: Apt-get mysql apt-get phpmyadmin THEN THEN I just start developing some test-php scripts so I can later upload it to my real website and go live. | 03:39 |
| zephyr | luchenbill, I doubt anyone would be interested in hacking you. o_O | 03:40 |
| Legend_Xeon | I am on dual boot with Windiws XP and ubuntu. Sometimes when i restart ubuntu, i observe that ubuntu shows large fonts and is not able to detect display monitor, it labels it "Unknown" in System > Preferences > Monitors. After restarting many times it still don't detect it. But when i shut it down and remove power cables for five minutes and restart it again, it display normal graphics and rightly shows the name of my Display monit | 03:40 |
| Legend_Xeon | or in System > Preferences > Monitors. | 03:40 |
| luchenbill | zephyr, yeah except the millions of irc drone bots etc. :| | 03:40 |
| Legend_Xeon | Why so? | 03:40 |
| zephyr | luchenbill: I would ONLY worry about that if my scripts goes to a live server. (Like x10hosting.com where I host my website at). | 03:40 |
| Xeneth | luchenbill, Your IP is alway's out on the INTERNET, so it's nothing big. If you want to hide it, it's easy to setup a proxy. | 03:41 |
| ljsoftnet | how do i remove dockbarx? | 03:41 |
| TeeAl | wildbat: partition seems okay really, nothing to change much. how do I fix the boot sector? | 03:42 |
| luchenbill | xeneth, yeah my point exactly... I was just curious if running a lamp server environment inside a chroot was a smart way to avoid being hacked from some open port/services | 03:42 |
| zephyr | luchenbill, SO yeah, I doubt a handful of people knows your IP and tries to access your computer. So for now just get litespeed (While you starting fresh, it's a good idea to learn how to use litespeed). | 03:42 |
| luchenbill | i'm new to ubuntu/unix/linux so I have many questions really :) | 03:42 |
| wildbat | TeeAl: testdisk have that option too. or bootsect.exe or fixmbr in windows recover CD. | 03:43 |
| luchenbill | zephyr yes it looks awesome, thanks for the advice :) | 03:43 |
| zephyr | luchenbill, to be very honest, I do NOT know a lot about chroot. I'm no security Expert. But I know chroot is suppose to lock people in a Certain directory. It treats that Certain directory as a "root directory" where it's the furtest a person can go. | 03:43 |
| luchenbill | yeah I was reading up on it, it's something like a sandbox etc. | 03:44 |
| luchenbill | only for linux | 03:44 |

| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| zephyr | I would only invest time on chroot is when I'm working on a live server OUTSIDE my home. Like if I was hired to work on a server for a friend then yea.. (Right now, I'm doing that and I'm using ISPConfig that will do all the security work for you). | 03:46 |
| Xeneth | luchenbill, All I know of chroot is I use it to modify ISO's. :P not sure it's applications for security. My opinion though is unless you have something out there for public use, or made some enemies, good port management and password will prevent those just sniffing around. | 03:46 |

| hetal | Hello. I'm trying to use gmake, but it's not installed. I also can't find it in the maverick repos. Does that mean that I can't get it on 10.10? | 04:03 |
| somsip | !gmake | 04:03 |
| Xeneth | a_p3rson, In software sources, you should see under updates tab "Release Upgrades". Basicly set that to long term only. | 04:04 |
| a_p3rson | but that will ignore futures as well | 04:04 |
| a_p3rson | i just dont really want to do 11.04, is there a way to ignore just that release? | 04:04 |
| Xeneth | a_p3rson, It will ignore anything other then LTS. When the next one comes out you can upgrade manually. You will have to do 11.04 if you use the manager. | 04:05 |

| dfcnvt | Hi, I noticed my cursor or rather my typing onto the notepad or in browser tend to disappear and I cannot see where I am typing at.. I mean, I can type to something like this, "AAA" to grab my attention but most of the time whenever I move around with my arrow's button.. I can't see where I'm going. | 04:06 |
| dfcnvt | Any idea how to fix this? | 04:06 |
| dfcnvt | It's not my cursor, it's the position where I'm destinated to type. (i'm sure u understand what i'm talking abt) | 04:07 |
| dfcnvt | Any idea? | 04:07 |
| somsip | dfcnvt: you can't see the 'insert' cursor? | 04:07 |
| dfcnvt | correct | 04:08 |

| Legend_Xeon | Sometimes on restart, ubuntu isnt able to detect Display monitor in System > Preferences > Monitors and shows crappy screen resolution. | 04:09 |

| Legend_Xeon | Is this hardware related issue? | 04:10 |
| dfcnvt | It's not the cursor... it's the err.. position where I'm typing right now.. | 04:10 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: Any luck? | 04:10 |
| dfcnvt | ...okay, like if I ask you type left arrow right now then the action of a position where it moves to the left is what I'm talking about, it disappear, I can't see it. | 04:11 |
| dfcnvt | I can't see where it's going... I have to type AAA or DD to know where the heck I am then backspace it to go ahead and type | 04:12 |

| nathanel | hello amigos! question: is ubuntu 32bit better in terms of battery life expectation? | 04:24 |
| Lasers | nathanel: If I have to guess, I'll say not at all. The laptop can be powered on without any OS. | 04:26 |
| Xeneth | nathanel, as opposed to what? | 04:26 |
| nathanel | as opposed to amd64 build | 04:26 |
| tester | exit | 04:26 |
| savior | DURR | 04:27 |
| Xeneth | nathanel, I would guess no because 64bit is designed to optimize a 64-bit CPU, but it's just a guess. | 04:28 |
| nathanel | ok | 04:29 |
| nathanel | bc the real issue is that i have an mx340 for which canon only provides i386 packages for.. and it keeps breaking my install | 04:30 |
| nathanel | i used to do --force-all -i with ia32-libs back on 10.04, 10,10 and 11.04.. but now its all gone to hell with new dependency names and so forth | 04:31 |

| Lasers | nathanel: If you don't depend heavily on the printer, toss it out. Inkjet is wasting your money. In fact, all printers probably are a waste of money. Sure, you print it sometimes... If you really need one, go with me (Lasers). | 04:37 |

| paulus68 | wildbat: well that's obvious but is there a nice howto or tutorial that can come in handy to set this up ;) | 05:00 |
| Shikhin | zephyr: See, I have a 320GiB hard disk. I have split it into four partitions, with one dedicated to Ubuntu. On this one, I store almost nothing, except the "usual" stuff. I expect it to have around 15-20 GiB free. However, recently, I found out that it had nly 32 MiB free space left. Sinec I don't store much on it, I was surprised. I asked on this channel, and somebody said that BleachBit could "wipe out" unneccessary data. I ran BleachBit, and wo, I had 12. | 05:01 |
| Shikhin | And, the cycle continues. | 05:01 |
| TeamColtra | When does the Beta2 spin become available? | 05:01 |
| Shikhin | I hope that was clear enough.. | 05:01 |
| TeamColtra | Is it timed... or is it kinda "sometime today" | 05:02 |
| wildbat | !netboot| paulus68, you just asked what are the requirement ;p anyway read this. | 05:02 |
| ubottu | paulus68, you just asked what are the requirement ;p anyway read this.: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 05:02 |
| glebihan | nathanel, sorry didn't follow from the beginning... what is the problem exactly ? you have a 32 bits package that you want to install on a 64 bits system ? | 05:02 |
| Lasers | TeamColtra: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule | 05:02 |
| TeamColtra | Lasers, yes, it says today | 05:02 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: I have slow download speeds >_> | 05:03 |
| zephyr | Shikhin: I'm not understanding the purpose. So basically you have a buttload of things on you harddrive, and only have 32MBs left? | 05:03 |
| Lasers | TeamColtra: It's Sept 22, 12:03AM. Three minutes into today. You'll get it today when they're tying things up into knots. | 05:03 |
| Xeneth | Shikhin, I seem to remember bleachbit fills the partition up completly then deletes it as a way to make sure the deleted files cannot be recovered.. May be what you are seeing. | 05:03 |
| zephyr | Weird to have sooo many partitions. o_O | 05:03 |
| Shikhin | Basically, I have nothing on my 80GiB partition, and free space automagically drops from 12GiB to 32MiB in few minutes. | 05:04 |
| Shikhin | (nothing as in, not much) | 05:04 |
| nathanel | glebihan: yes.. its my mx340 drivers.. i used to do dpkg --force-all -i with ia32libs installed and everything would work great for the past 3 releases.. now it breaks my package install whenever i set them up that way.. even though they function.. I also have the source but have no idea how to compile | 05:04 |
| zephyr | Xeneth: AH THOSE THINGS. A Permanent file deleter. | 05:04 |
| ZafotheNinja | Hey all I'm new XD | 05:04 |
| Lasers | TeamColtra: You can get it from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ -- when it's released -- you should get the same thing. | 05:04 |
| TeamColtra | Lasers, I was under the understanding that Ubuntu is based in Europe (primarily) if thats the case then it is 6:04AM now I am not trying to be impatient I was just wondering if its a "when it's ready" thing or if there was a planned release time for it | 05:05 |
| zephyr | Shikhin: Why? Is it a software that purposely fill up your harddive to overwrite permanent? | 05:05 |
| Xeneth | Shikhin, zephyr, it's not a nuke, it's for an active partition. I used it once. It caused problems before, but that is one thing I do remember. | 05:05 |
| glebihan | nathanel, isn't there a README or INSTALL file in the source package ? could you post a link to that source package ? | 05:05 |
| Shikhin | Ok. Leave everything out. In short: Free space on my hard disk seems to be decreasing automagically every moment. | 05:06 |
| Lasers | TeamColtra: There are no planned release time. Yeah. Most likely "when it's ready" | 05:06 |
| savior | lol automagically | 05:06 |
| savior | awesome | 05:06 |
| zephyr | Shikhin: So what's really the purpose of that software that is doing that? | 05:06 |
| Shikhin | zephyr: Urm. I don't know what is doing that. If I did, why would I be asking here? | 05:06 |
| Xeneth | http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/ | 05:07 |
| Lasers | TeamColtra: Not to mention they're going to wait until all mirror sites get it first. That was from my experience with Ubuntu Final Releases. | 05:07 |
| Xeneth | The filling of the hard drive is an attempt to hide the deleted files. Privacy for that portion | 05:07 |
| zephyr | Shikhin, well, if theres nothing important on those partitions, I would just reformat it. | 05:07 |
| TeamColtra | Lasers, thanks so since the "last date modified" shows today -- is that technically Beta2? really I am more concerned because last time I did Alpha2 release and for whatever reason my system didn't like the changes when I switched to Beta1 (which is acceptable I know those risks when I download alpha/beta) and I had to re-install... but my current OS is like dying on me so instead of reinstalling I would rather just upgrade | 05:07 |
| nathanel | glebihan: nope... thats what bugs me... http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=PIXMA+MX340&menu=download&filter=0&tagname=g_os&g_os=Linux | 05:08 |
| Shikhin | zephyr: I have Ubuntu installed on that partition - which shows that error. | 05:08 |
| Shikhin | And the problem ISN'T caused by BleachBit. | 05:08 |
| Shikhin | I used BleachBit AFTER I observed the problem - to clean stuff up. | 05:08 |
| zephyr | Shikhin: Harddrives are like STONE WALLS. You write data. You delete it. You can recover it, The only way to make sure no one can recover it, you have to damage the entire stone wall. | 05:09 |
| paulus68 | wildbat: thx | 05:09 |
| Lasers | TeamColtra: That can be. We won't know. Maybe we should download hashes.txt and wait until later for comparison. :) | 05:09 |
| * Shikhin does a facepalm. | 05:09 | |
| Shikhin | How is that related ANYWHERE to my problem? | 05:09 |
| Pilot_51 | Got another question: Maybe I just don't understand it, but why doesn't memory usage in System Monitor add up as expected? Example: java (Eclipse) is taking 904.2 MiB memory, 1.8GiB virtual memory, 947.4 MiB resident memory; total usage is 2.6 GiB physical and 244 KiB swap | 05:09 |
| beav_35 | Is there any way to get promiscuous mode to work with ath9k drivers? | 05:09 |
| TeamColtra | I will just make the dive... :) | 05:10 |
| Xeneth | Shikhin, If it was the swap file, I would think it was a memory leak, but that FS isn't a leak | 05:10 |
| Lasers | !memory | Pilot_51 | 05:10 |
| ubottu | Pilot_51: 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 | 05:10 |
| TeamColtra | No guts, no glory eh? | 05:10 |
| Pilot_51 | For one, I'd expect "memory" to be physical+virtual | 05:10 |
| zephyr | Shikhin: A software purposely writes random useless junk data filling up your harddrive, to OVERWRITE "freespace". So it will not be possible to recover deleted files from "freespace". | 05:10 |
| wildbat | Shikhin: du to seek what is eating the space ~ | 05:10 |
| Lasers | TeamColtra: Use zsync so you shouldn't have to download the whole ISO once Beta2 came out. | 05:10 |
| Shikhin | zephyr: How does that relate to my problem, again? | 05:11 |
| Shikhin | wildbat: How do I get to know what is eating up that space? | 05:11 |
| glebihan | nathanel, having a look, give me a few minutes | 05:11 |
| nathanel | glebihan: sur | 05:12 |
| zephyr | Shikhin: You mentioned something is Eating up your harddrive. I can not imagine any linux software that would do that other than a Permanent file deletion tool. | 05:12 |
| nathanel | sur | 05:12 |
| nathanel | glebihan: sure* | 05:12 |
| Xeneth | Shikhin, I wich I could remember where it was, but Gnome has a pie chart that will show you what is taking up your HDD space. May want to look into that. | 05:12 |
| Jef91 | where can I get the beta discs for 11.10? | 05:12 |
| Xeneth | err wish | 05:12 |
| Pilot_51 | Lasers: I'm grazing through those pages but it doesn't seem to apply to my question | 05:13 |
| zephyr | Shikhin, Why not just read a file that's occupying your diskspace to figure out what it is. o_o | 05:13 |
| wildbat | Shikhin: if a folder / file eat 60+GB you will know . and lsof to find the bad naughty process. or what Xeneth said if you wanna GUI. | 05:13 |
| Shikhin | zephyr: The problem occured before I started using Bleachbit (which I used to try to solve the problem - clearing up space). | 05:13 |
| harry_ | Jef91:its not available on net... | 05:13 |
| Shikhin | Brb. | 05:13 |
| Jef91 | harry_ don't spread trash | 05:13 |
| zephyr | LOL... Omg, seriously. I would had just deleted the problem and "continue on" with "clearing up space". Sheesh. | 05:14 |
| glebihan | nathanel, btw, before trying to compile, did you try --force-architecture instead of --force-all ? | 05:14 |
| zephyr | Or kill programs that has high ammount of memory usesage, | 05:14 |
| Lasers | Pilot_51: I googled. http://goo.gl/ZNcdp | 05:14 |
| nathanel | glebihan: will try | 05:14 |
| jcapinc | hey, can anyone suggest a generic "chat" irc room that actually has people on it? | 05:14 |
| Xeneth | zephyr, I think the issue was that he didn't know what was causing the proble, what file/folder was using the space. | 05:15 |
| Lasers | jcapinc: #defocus | 05:15 |
| Xeneth | I cannot type. ... well, since it is 1am, I guess it's understandable. | 05:16 |
| Pilot_51 | Basically the 2 main things I want a clear answer on is how to find the total physical+swap memory usage of a process in System Monitor and why does virtual memory usage not fit with swap usage? | 05:16 |
| nathanel | glebihan: it still asks for install -f | 05:16 |
| jcapinc | Thank you Lasers | 05:16 |
| zephyr | Xeneth: He/she is in terminal? He could has used a command to see a list of files with "sizes". | 05:17 |
| harry_ | Jef91: what u mean frnd?? | 05:17 |
| glebihan | nathanel, first purge the package, then run "sudo apt-get install -f" then dpkg --force-architecture | 05:17 |
| nathanel | did it | 05:17 |
| Xeneth | zephyr, true, not sure how comfortable he/she is with CLI | 05:17 |
| nathanel | glebihan: did that | 05:18 |
| zephyr | And being outside of CLI, is a whole lot easier. | 05:18 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: Im trying ti now. I hope it works. | 05:18 |
| Xeneth | That's why I suggested the graph, but I do not know it's location, so maybe not so much help. :P | 05:19 |
| Pilot_51 | Lasers: This is about inconsistencies between displayed process memory usage and displayed total memory usage, not disappearing memory or inconsistencies between top and System Monitor (I have a decent understanding of cache/buffers) | 05:19 |
| === sg is now known as Guest68263 | ||
| Lasers | Pilot_51: Yes. I have nothing to say about it. It could be just delays. | 05:19 |
| glebihan | nathanel, ok then i'll have a look at the source | 05:20 |
| Pilot_51 | What delays could that be? | 05:20 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: Do one of the following: 1. Clear the USB drive (Make necessary back ups). Or 2. You could simply Make a folder in your USB. move all files and folders (and hidden ones) to that new folder. | 05:20 |
| Lasers | Pilot_51: Reporting time. I really don't know. ;X | 05:20 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: wait, what? | 05:20 |
| Pilot_51 | Virtual memory is the same as swap, right? | 05:20 |
| Xeneth | Pilot_51, The GUI would update every 5 sec for example, and the CLI would be from pressing enter. | 05:20 |
| Xeneth | That's where the delay could come from. | 05:21 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: In case you have things in your USB. Back it up. Clear USB. | 05:21 |
| Guest68263 | I can't download Adeskbar? It 404 not found? | 05:21 |
| Jef91 | where can I get the the early discs of 11.10 from? | 05:21 |
| Pilot_51 | I'm looking at everything in System Monitor which updates every 5 seconds currently | 05:21 |
| glebihan | nathanel, all you should have to do to compile is extract the tarball then cd to the created folder and run "make" then "sudo make install" | 05:21 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: OR -- 1. Make a folder in your USB. 2. Move all files/folders to your new folder. | 05:22 |
| nathanel | glebihan.. normally yes.. but it doesnt | 05:22 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: That's TWO ways to prepare your USB. | 05:22 |
| glebihan | nathanel, meaning ? what errors do you get ? | 05:22 |
| Guest68263 | I can't download Adeskbar.It says 404 not found? | 05:22 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: Do you now understand? | 05:22 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: Im using the USB installer or whatever | 05:22 |
| nathanel | glebihan: error all ** stop | 05:22 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe | 05:22 |
| UnrealPancake | that | 05:22 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake, ah okay. | 05:23 |
| Xeneth | Pilot_51, Virtual = Swap. True | 05:23 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: I hope im doing it right lol | 05:23 |
| glebihan | nathanel, there must be messages before that. Could you pastebin the full output ? | 05:23 |
| UnrealPancake | zephyr: I got error: Cannot delete output file D:\Ubuntu | 05:23 |
| UnrealPancake | whats that? | 05:24 |
| Pilot_51 | Xeneth: So why do most of my processes show virtual memory usage in the hundreds of MiB while total swap usage just shows 244 KiB? | 05:24 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: Okay, just use unetbootin then. | 05:24 |
| Xeneth | Pilot_51, Not a guru in linux, so not sure. What command you using? | 05:25 |
| nathanel | glebihan: http://pastebin.com/nJqxnC98 | 05:25 |
| UnrealPancake | huh? | 05:25 |
| Pilot_51 | Xeneth: No command, just looking at System Monitor with most of the Memory columns enabled | 05:25 |
| zephyr | UnrealPancake: YOu have a problem right? I'm not familar with that software, I use unetbootin.sourceforge.net To put Ubuntu onto my USB flash drive. | 05:25 |
| UnrealPancake | oh well ill try this and if not ill come back k? | 05:25 |

| banpdtr_ | Hi all , Can I send message through command line (in Ubuntu) to specific user in pidgin ?? | 05:27 |
| zephyr | banpdtr_: Visit #Pidgin Who told you that was possible? | 05:27 |
| banpdtr_ | zephyr: I believe that it is possible :) | 05:28 |
| Xeneth | Pilot_51, My system monitor only had Memory (RAM) and Swap (VMemory) | 05:28 |
| zephyr | banpdtr_: Wait, what the heck? You didn't even tell us what proticol you're sending too. What would be a good USE-CASE for that? Like what's the purpose? What's the point in that? | 05:29 |

| zephyr | O_O | 05:29 |
| Pilot_51 | Xeneth: Yeah that's in the Resources tab, it's the Processes tab where I'm not sure what the memory values exactly mean | 05:29 |
| Xeneth | Pilot_51, are you talking about the processes? | 05:29 |
| wzssyqa | http://paste.ubuntu.com/694957/ why the awk doesn,t work here? | 05:29 |
| banpdtr_ | zephyr: XMPP | 05:30 |
| zephyr | banpdtr_: I do not quite understand how this is going to work. Or even the purpose. | 05:30 |
| Xeneth | Pilot_51, I think that memory is not current, but accumulative. How much it has loaded from the start. Mine is just rising only. | 05:31 |
| Axlin|MB | banpdtr_: Look at the script at the end of this thread. Apparently it's doable, but with that script specifically, you have to have X server running, and the chat window has to be open as well. - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-968221.html | 05:31 |
| Axlin|MB | banpdtr_: I do also know that there are purple-based CLI IM clients as well. Not Pidgin, but they're based on Purple, like Pidgin. | 05:31 |
| Xeneth | Pilot_51, NvM, it just dropped. | 05:31 |
| Pilot_51 | Xeneth: Hmm... Well I've seen it drop before, though the one I monitor the most is Firefox which is notorious for memory leaks (I constantly need to restart it because memory gets full and starts using swap) | 05:32 |
| Axlin|MB | banpdtr_: Finch, that's what I was thinking of. I couldn't think of an example on the spot. :-) | 05:32 |
| darbe | hi guys | 05:32 |

| banpdtr_ | yeah.. I am looking at that.. there are some tools like purple-send and purple-remote | 05:33 |
| banpdtr_ | :) | 05:33 |
| Pilot_51 | darbe: I'm using XVIrc and I love it | 05:33 |
| Axlin|MB | darbe: Plenty! I use XChat myself. But there are several alternatives available in Software Center. | 05:33 |
| zephyr | banpdtr_: So you just then need documentations and tutorials/Examples. | 05:33 |

| Xeneth | Pilot_51, The Mem in the processes is RAM. Some may go to SWAP, but it's MEMORY + SWAP | 05:34 |
| darbe | i want to have something like | 05:34 |
| darbe | it should pop up when somebody write | 05:34 |
| zephyr | darbe: Popup? O_O | 05:34 |
| darbe | this room is crowded | 05:35 |
| darbe | but other rooms | 05:35 |
| Xeneth | It's a PARTY!!!! | 05:35 |
| Pilot_51 | Xeneth: If I remember correctly, resident memory = physical memory, which is usually slightly higher than memory | 05:35 |
| darbe | for instance i use konversation | 05:35 |
| Pilot_51 | Another source of confusion | 05:35 |
| darbe | it is flashing | 05:35 |
| alchemy | how to set proxy in ubuntu 11 can any one help me | 05:36 |
| zephyr | darbe: Use XChat. Xchat does all what an average user wants to do over IRC. Even make scripts for XCHAT bot & such enhancements using Perl/Python and other languages. | 05:36 |
| Axlin|MB | darbe: If I'm interpreting that correctly, It's possible with XChat to have channel-specific popup & sound notifications when there's chat activity. I'm sure other clients are capable of the same. | 05:36 |
| Xeneth | Pilot_51, Physical memory is memory. Only reason it's normally lower because the OS uses some. | 05:36 |
| darbe | ok thx i will try | 05:36 |
| zephyr | darbe: If you want that, use Konversation (Although it's a KDE app, it does install well on Ubuntu). | 05:37 |
| Pilot_51 | darbe: I used to use XChat, but I didn't like how it lacked good notifications for mentions, which I found KVIrc to do acceptably | 05:37 |
| darbe | tu | 05:37 |
| zephyr | I personally like Konversation more than KVIRC. | 05:37 |
| alchemy | how to set proxy in ubuntu 11 can any one help me | 05:37 |
| darbe | yeah it is poping up | 05:38 |
| darbe | can I see last ten? | 05:38 |
| zephyr | alchemy: System -> Preferrences -> Network Proxy | 05:38 |
| darbe | because it only shows last line | 05:38 |
| zephyr | darbe, I just like Konversation more. | 05:39 |
| darbe | me either | 05:39 |
| darbe | but I need to take care of it | 05:39 |
| darbe | I should open each time | 05:39 |
| zephyr | It does "last messages", you can pick how many lines it should be for last said messages. Konversation is better for notifications. | 05:39 |
| darbe | ok let;s try | 05:40 |
| zephyr | You can hide Konversation in your tray. | 05:40 |
| zephyr | It's Very configurable. | 05:40 |
| zephyr | Identity list is to DIE FOR. | 05:40 |
| darbe | pop up? | 05:40 |
| zephyr | That xchat lacks darbe. | 05:41 |
| zephyr | Popup like "new window"? | 05:41 |
| darbe | no | 05:41 |
| zephyr | Or Highlighters? Notification popup? | 05:41 |
| zephyr | It does that. | 05:41 |
| darbe | small wnidows | 05:41 |
| darbe | window on the corner | 05:41 |
| darbe | or some where | 05:41 |
| Pilot_51 | Xeneth: I guess what's really needed is proper documentation on exactly what the columns mean. It's not in the help files and so far haven't found anything online. | 05:41 |
| zephyr | Yes. Althought tht's not a window. That's Notification. | 05:41 |

| darbe | it should be defaulrt | 05:43 |
| darbe | :D:D | 05:43 |
| Pilot_51 | Xeneth: It's clear that they don't mean what I (and albeit most people) think they mean, especially the virtual memory column which adds up to be much higher than total physical+swap usage | 05:43 |
| zephyr | darbe, it makes popups like this: http://gadgetinspiration.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/gmailnotifier.jpg <---- Notification boxes. | 05:43 |
| zephyr | darbe, you will LOVE this irc client, trust me. My only complaint is that this is made for KDE. | 05:44 |
| darbe | thank you | 05:44 |
| Xeneth | Pilot_51, True, but that's linux in general. I believe the memory column in processes is revering memory usage. Makes no distinguation between physical or swap. | 05:44 |
| darbe | i enable it but i don't see | 05:44 |
| darbe | :S:S | 05:44 |
| zephyr | Someone should Fork and make a GTK/Gnome or something VERY LIGHT version of KDE. | 05:44 |

| zephyr | glebihan: Very true, I would better off Make that client from SCRATCH. Starting by making it have features like Konversation. BUT let it handle text like Xchat | 05:53 |
| Pilot_51 | Ah, I remember why I didn't try Konversation despite being so good. Didn't want to install the kde dependencies | 05:53 |

| zephyr | Pilot_51: The ONLY thing good about KVIRC is a more detailed customization, and IRC-Log viewer. | 05:55 |
| zephyr | Or and scripting. | 05:55 |

| ninwa | I guess I don't spend enough time caring about my IRC client :p | 05:56 |
| Pilot_51 | But as I said, my main problem with XChat was a lack of decent mention notifications | 05:56 |

| urlin2u | ninwa, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-disable-overlay-scrollbars-in.html | 06:14 |
| gnosis | urlin2u: why not? is there a more appropriate file system to use? | 06:14 |
| androidTed | can you ignore/hide JOINs messages from Empathy? | 06:14 |
| wildbat | how to enable overlay scrollbars on 10.04 :p | 06:15 |
| urlin2u | gnosis, not sure the OS is ext4. | 06:15 |
| ninwa | example #232413 of something that should be accessible via a systems settings gui. | 06:15 |
| gnosis | my OS drive is ext3 | 06:15 |
| melvincv_ | Let me see if there are any Empathy settings in gconf-editor... | 06:15 |
| melvincv_ | Hope this can prevent Empathy from setting my status to away all the time :( | 06:16 |
| urlin2u | gnosis, you running windows as well? the partitions changed to ext4 a while back | 06:16 |
| urlin2u | not much difference just curious | 06:18 |
| melvincv_ | Oops, I can't find empathy in gconf-editor :( Really sad that can't customize it. Linux is all about customization, right? | 06:18 |
| urlin2u | melvincv_, yeah and knowing what your doing.:D | 06:18 |
| gnosis | urlin2u: yeah, have a ntfs partition on the same drive with xp installed | 06:19 |

| h2010n | hi | 06:30 |
| kokozedman | hey guys, i'm programming a software that connects to a single host, but i have several ppp routes/gateways and i want to use them as to make use of all bandwidth... any ideas? | 06:30 |
| wildbat | kokozedman: bind the connections to different IPs of the NICs, (assuming each have route to the targeted IP). | 06:33 |
| kokozedman | i'm able to do it partially using nexthop (ip), but only one single route is used at a time, then when i stop the program, then the next one is used | 06:33 |
| === B0g4r7__ is now known as B0g4r7 | ||
| kokozedman | wildbat, i thought of doing that, but that wouldn't be flexible at all, because the PPP links comes and go | 06:34 |
| kokozedman | it would be much more efficient to just have the program send to one single host, then it is up to the system to just alternate via the available routes/gateways | 06:35 |
| wildbat | kokozedman: unless you have a single public routable ip for you local PC and do balance with routing ~ rethink your protocol. | 06:37 |
| |Gff| | can somebody explain why xfs_rtcp /root/1.mpg /mnt/1/ew_media does not work in ubuntu but works in opensuse | 06:39 |
| kokozedman | wildbat, it's a pretty easy application, and is just a client-server UDP... are you knowledged about the ip route ... nexthopt ... nexthop? because it is already working, but i have to flush the route very frequently for that...... i could also do it if found a way to just flush the route to that specific host | 06:40 |
| kokozedman | i don't have enough knowledge programming this kind of route flushing | 06:41 |
| kokozedman | so, i thought i'd ask if anyone knows.... in C | 06:41 |
| |Gff| | can somebody explain why xfs_rtcp /root/1.mpg /mnt/1/ew_media command does not work in ubuntu but works in opensuse | 06:44 |
| wildbat | kokozedman: i think you just need to bind to the IP ~ the network should take care of it ~ try in ##c that's for programming | 06:45 |

| |Gff| | what linux kernel does 11.4 use | 06:50 |
| faLUCE | hi. Is it possible to have two /etc/rc.local files ? Or something similar | 06:52 |
| |Gff| | what linux kernel does 11.4 use | 06:55 |
| urlin2u | 2.6.38-11 as of now | 06:56 |
| |Gff| | how do i get ubuntu with version 2.7 or higher | 07:05 |
| Ibis | |Gff|: That's old o.O | 07:05 |
| Ibis | |Gff|: Are you talking about Gnome / Unity? | 07:06 |
| |Gff| | no kernel version | 07:06 |
| Ibis | Ah those. | 07:06 |
| rww | |Gff|: There is no kernel 2.7. Linux changed versioning schemes a long, long time ago, and eventually went straight from 2.6 to 3.0. | 07:06 |
| |Gff| | oh | 07:07 |
| |Gff| | how do i get unbuntu with 3.0 then | 07:07 |
| Myrtti | |Gff|: why do you want it? | 07:07 |
| rocco | 1LIST | 07:07 |
| |Gff| | because 3.0 fix a bug that i need | 07:07 |
| |Gff| | fixed | 07:07 |
| Ibis | Summary: Besides a new version numbering scheme, Linux 3.0 also has several new features: Btrfs data scrubbing and automatic defragmentation... <---- Defragmention? o_O | 07:08 |
| Ibis | I thought that was a windows only thing. | 07:08 |
| |Gff| | http://www.xfs.org/index.php/XFS_Status_Updates | 07:09 |
| |Gff| | ibis it says it fixed a xfs bug | 07:09 |
| Ibis | |Gff|: You might want to have a look here: http://techtimely.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/install-linux-kernel-3-0-on-ubuntu-11-04/ | 07:14 |
| |Gff| | ibis why not just get ubuntu with 3.0 | 07:15 |
| emr | i have script which i want to run every 09:09 am so i created cron job somethink like -- 8 9 * * * -- but its not working as i excepted, is there something wrong? | 07:15 |
| Myrtti | |Gff|: there is no release version of Ubuntu with 3.0 yet | 07:16 |
| susundberg | emr: Pass the full line please. Also check that the script is runnable for the user executing the cron | 07:16 |
| Myrtti | |Gff|: that's why | 07:16 |
| emr | susundberg, sure, 8 9 * * * cd /var/www/project/ && /usr/bin/python manage.py updatecurrencies | 07:17 |
| emr | scripts running perfectly | 07:17 |
| |Gff| | myrtti what about other distro? | 07:17 |
| Myrtti | |Gff|: if you can wait for few weeks there is a new release of Ubuntu with 3.0, or you could try the beta release; be aware tho that beta is beta, it may break other things, and it's not supported on this channel | 07:18 |
| rabbi1 | guys, please help my GRUB is not loading | 07:19 |
| Ibis | Myrtti: Wait, that will be Ubuntu 11.somethingNew ? | 07:19 |
| susundberg | emr: and the problem excatly is that it seems like cron is not running the scripts or ? | 07:19 |
| rww | Ibis: 11.10. year.month | 07:20 |
| Myrtti | Ibis: well, yes. Ubuntu has a new version every six months | 07:20 |
| susundberg | emr: do you get mail from the cron output -- checking that might give you hint what is going wrong. I usually prefer doing small scripts (say cron_run_this.sh) that contains the commands and keep the crontab clean | 07:20 |
| susundberg | emr: that is i not sure how the line "cd /var/www/project/ && /usr/bin/python manage.py" is handled -- the "&&" marks | 07:20 |
| Ibis | emr: Why 8 9 * * *? SHouldn't it be: 9 9 * * * ? | 07:20 |
| Lasers | Ibis: 11.10 Beta2 should be coming out today. | 07:21 |
| tensorpudding | what's the rules of freezes? | 07:21 |
| tensorpudding | will they fix the bugs that i've reported in beta 1... | 07:21 |
| tensorpudding | i hope so | 07:21 |
| Ibis | What's the difference between using & and && in between terminal commands? | 07:21 |
| emr | susundberg, i have something like this, command logging to db when execute, and its seems working in wrong time on every 12:08:02 | 07:21 |
| Myrtti | Ibis: && waits for the first command to finish successfully | 07:21 |
| tensorpudding | && is for AND | 07:22 |
| Ibis | Ah, that makes sense Myrtti. And & is a "do it at the same time" Sweet. | 07:22 |
| rww | Ibis: they do completely different things. & moves the aforementioned process to the background and runs the second one in parallel. && runs the second one when the first one is done if and only if the first one exits with a non-error return value | 07:22 |
| emr | Ibis, i have a several scheduled command so its best slot to run | 07:22 |
| tensorpudding | doesn't it get the exit value of the first command and use that to determine whether to run the next, or something? | 07:22 |
| rabbi1 | all of a sudden my ubuntu crashed (or kinda crashed) how can i solve it. nothing's working good... not even ALT-Ctrl-F1/ F2/ F3 | 07:22 |
| emr | ohh men i didnt check server time, its utc, thanks susundberg i got the point | 07:23 |

| Ibis | Myrtti: Speaking of the whole 3.0 linux kernal, no one decided to jump ubuntu to that to iron out any kernal related bugs? | 07:25 |
| ikonia | ssargennto: could you please pastebin the output of "mount" | 07:25 |
| Myrtti | Ibis: jump which ubuntu? btw kernal is something that was in Commodore 8-bit, in Linux it's kernel ;-) | 07:27 |

| rabbi1 | now it says GRUB loading and doesn't load anything | 07:38 |
| iWang | just add a hotkey to invoke a program or small os to do something | 07:38 |
| ikonia | rabbi1: do you get the grub menu ? | 07:38 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: nope, | 07:38 |

| rabbi1 | even unable to get ctrl+alt + f1/f2 | 07:39 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: trying that, burning a cd now | 07:39 |
| ikonia | rabbi1: you won't be able to use ctrl+alt on grub, it's not booted the OS yet | 07:40 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: yeah, now i can just see a cursor blinking on deep black screen | 07:40 |

| TeslaTony | Lasers: My experience with XFCE vs GNOME 2.x is that XFCE is faster, though not by too much most of the time (unless you turn on wiggly windows). GNOME 3 seems a lot slower | 08:11 |
| Lasers | Guest35270, melvincv_: Always make a backup! (Just because you ought to!) | 08:11 |

| Luke_007 | ActionParsnip e.g I wanna install a package named "DIA", I'm using command apt-cache search dia. Other packages whose name contains "dia" come out also. | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Luke_007: if you want to install dia then run: sudo apt-get install dia | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Luke_007: you don't need to search for it as you already know the package name | 08:35 |
| angelete2 | hi | 08:37 |
| grandon | hmm | 08:37 |
| angelete2 | i'm using ubuntu server 11.04 and i'm getting some performance problems | 08:37 |
| === GNUdog_ is now known as GNUdog | ||
| Luke_007 | Oh, it works! Before it is installed. It shows what packages will be installed. Thanks a lot | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Luke_007: np :) | 08:37 |
| grandon | system info? | 08:37 |
| Luke_007 | :) | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | angelete2: in which app or just generally? | 08:38 |
| angelete2 | i've installed into a virtual machine with 512Mb RAM (it's not so much, but i thought it was enough) and my apache sometimes refer me problems allocating memory | 08:38 |
| scarleo | Is there any way to see in beforehand if an update will require a reboot? | 08:39 |
| angelete2 | i have another VM with fedora 7 256Mb and it works right | 08:39 |
| luca_ | i am using ubuntu 11.04, my problem is that i recived a cad file via mail, when i try to open it with a cad software i get the message "impossible to open the file check the permissions | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | angelete2: 512Mb should be ok for a web box imho | 08:40 |
| scarleo | I mean I know kernel updates require reboot but I mean like apt telling me before installing that the update will require a reboot | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | luca_: does your user have read access to the file? | 08:40 |
| angelete2 | ActionParsnip, i thought so, but i don't know why i'm getting this errors | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | angelete2: have you asked in #ubuntu-server too? | 08:41 |
| TeslaTony | scarleo: I don't believe so. I've never run into a situation, though, where the computer forces me to reboot before I can do anything | 08:41 |
| angelete2 | maybe will be better, i didn't notice this channel, sorry | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | scarleo: if you don't reboot it doesn't affect the OS, you just have a kernel update which needs one to load the new stuff, that'ss all. The OS can happily run fiorever more without you rebooting | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | angelete2: no need to apologise ;) | 08:42 |
| scarleo | TeslaTony: No oc it doesn't force me, it's not windoze we're talking abt, but it would still be sweet if it could tell me that it needs to reboot to complete the update before I actually do the update | 08:42 |
| eypal | hello, is here anybody from Canonical Ltd? | 08:44 |
| scarleo | ActionParsnip: Yeah, I can still see a point in being told before committing the update that it will require a reboot to complete | 08:44 |
| luca_ | action partnership, yes, i have done the sudo chmod 777 file.dwg and tryed the sudo chmod 644 file.dwg too | 08:44 |

| arun__ | what is the difference between linux and ubuntu | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | arun__: linux is only the kernel. Ubuntu is a distribution with Linux at its core | 09:00 |
| jrib | Guest35270: ok, you're running update-manager as user though? What's in ~/.update-manager-core/meta-release? | 09:00 |
| Free-man | arun__ linux is the kernel; Ubuntu (any distro name) is the "model"; like car-maker, year-model | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ljsoftnet: open your windows binaries with the crossover app. You should check the compatibility pages to see what wil run with crossover | 09:01 |
| Guest35270 | http://pastebin.com/47HJTWHe | 09:01 |
| TeslaTony | mix228911, you might need to tell the software center to update. Open up terminal and type in "sudo apt-get update" | 09:01 |
| Guest35270 | ok it's work | 09:02 |

| gry | s/s/c/ | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ismail_karn: not sure about portable, you can sync your bookmarks and junk to the web so that you can use them in other chromiums | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ismail_karn: could http://portableapps.com/node/15677 use that, its the windows version but may run | 09:22 |

| sgo11 | hi, this drives me crazy. my gvim has some problems. how to describe that.. very hard. the words typed in do not affect properly in the window? for example, if you type 'hello' very fast, it will only show 'h llo'. to solve it, simply click the window border, the UI gets refreshed and the word shows correctly. how to fix this annoyed problem? I don't have this problem two weeks ago. currently, latest ubuntu 11.04 natty. thanks. | 09:56 |

| abhijit | ActionParsnip: i took it from sourceforge | 09:57 |
| Daghdha | pff.. all my xterms are grey again :/ | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gry: I see, I dont use software centre much these days | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit: then grab the file and reinstall it | 09:57 |
| Daghdha | oh i see gry, i was in the update manager | 09:58 |

| Daghdha | also, i had this once before, from out of the blue all terminal windows have gone grey. They still have the windo borders but instead of black background with text on it it is all one big grey area. Anything known? | 10:00 |

| ActionParsnip | mix228911: steam isn't in the repos | 10:01 |
| snape | sorry i thought it hasn't been sent because i used enter as punctuation | 10:01 |

| abhijit | ActionParsnip: E: The package nokuntusp needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. | 10:01 |
| ikonia | rabbi1: so the CD won't boot at all either | 10:01 |

| ActionParsnip | abhijit: then you can redownload the deb, put it in then take it out, or you can mess with the status file / postinst postrm files | 10:02 |

| blinkiz | Hello. Am using ubuntu 11.04. The Network icon is missing from the unity panel. Network is also not working. Please advice | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | blinkiz: run: nm-applet | 10:02 |
| snape | @monkeydust link is not working | 10:03 |
| ikonia | rabbi1: so look in the bios, is the disk still visible | 10:03 |
| pai | my acer aspire one 522 netbook's speakers are on while headphone is plugged in, any solutions, guys? | 10:03 |
| Daghdha | Can anyone tell me a command that will open something on the desktop? I want to type in one of my grey terminals and see if it still runs stuff, or that they are just all totally phrozen | 10:03 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: nop, it's not recognising the CDD in the bios only | 10:04 |
| jrib | Daghdha: gedit | 10:04 |
| * Daghdha sighs "Thank you, i am an idiot" | 10:04 | |
| ikonia | rabbi1: hardware issues then, time to raise an RMA | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | pai: add: options snd-hda-intel model=asus position_fix=1 enable_msi=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and reboot to test | 10:04 |
| Daghdha | Ok, they not taking input. | 10:04 |
| SetiAmon | Hello | 10:04 |
| ffk27 | hi | 10:04 |
| blinkiz | ActionParsnip, nm-applet do not exist in ubuntu 11.04 | 10:05 |
| SetiAmon | So is there a way to get sound to work perfectly on my system,X-FI sound card | 10:05 |
| pai | thanx ActionParsnip, i'll get a try | 10:05 |
| mix228911 | how do i install "file.msi" please? | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | blinkiz: it does, its what gives the icon in the systray | 10:05 |
| blinkiz | hmm | 10:05 |
| SetiAmon | I imagine since old jaunty,with old beta drivers worked flawlessly then there must be a way to get sound to work on up to date ubuntu | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mix228911: open it with wine | 10:05 |
| Daghdha | gnome terminal is getting 100% cpu | 10:05 |
| ffk27 | or find a alternative | 10:05 |
| mix228911 | i can't open it | 10:05 |
| Daghdha | nearly | 10:05 |
| ffk27 | apt-get install wine | 10:05 |
| mix228911 | ActionParsnip: i can't | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mix228911: mark it as executable and open with wine | 10:06 |
| mix228911 | ActionParsnip: i can't download anymore ,somting stuck | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mix228911: then sort your packages then install the file (assuming it is compatible with wine) | 10:06 |
| blinkiz | ActionParsnip, are you sure that network-manager-gnome should be installed in ubuntu 11.04? It has not changed with this unity interface? It can be (but I do not think so) that I have uninstall it by mistake | 10:06 |
| Daghdha | If i kill gnome-terminal will it kill all BASH processes too? | 10:06 |
| abhijit | ActionParsnip: i downloaded new copy of package but same error. it is unable to install. | 10:07 |
| blinkiz | ActionParsnip, on your own computer, do nm-applet exist as a command to run? | 10:07 |
| mix228911 | ActionParsnip: file not found i think, i can't D/L anymore files | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | blinkiz: yes | 10:07 |
| mix228911 | ActionParsnip: i've change Download Folder ethier | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !nm-applet | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | gah | 10:07 |
| blinkiz | ActionParsnip, ok | 10:07 |
| mix228911 | ActionParsnip: it's not work | 10:08 |
| blinkiz | ActionParsnip, I found the error. I installed "arping" that removed network-manager-gnome. Thanks for the help ActionParsnip | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | mix228911: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=nm-applet see for yourself | 10:09 |
| abhijit | ActionParsnip: wht can be done? | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit: you may need to force install the package | 10:09 |
| abhijit | how? | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mix228911: try running it from terminal instead | 10:09 |
| abhijit | can we force remove the package? | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit: sudo dpkg --force-all -i filename.deb | 10:09 |
| abhijit | ok | 10:10 |
| mix228911 | what is this? | 10:10 |
| mix228911 | ActionParsnip: | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit: you can then pull it out and it will remove itself properly | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | mix228911: showing you that the command exists in ubuntu | 10:10 |

| JeZ-I-Lee | trying to find it | 10:11 |
| ffk27 | kill it | 10:11 |

| abhijit | ActionParsnip: i force install it now how to remove it | 10:11 |
| abhijit | it installed with same error | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | IcantGetNoSleep: for what? | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Daghdha: is it doing something right now? | 10:11 |
| IcantGetNoSleep | it's me mix22891 | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | IcantGetNoSleep: nm-applet like I said earlier... | 10:12 |
| abhijit | ActionParsnip: nvm. thanks for the help so far. i will try for forum. :-) | 10:12 |
| ffk27 | 10:12 | |
| ActionParsnip | abhijit: you may need to mess with the status file then, this sort of thing is one of the massive weaknesses in package based distros | 10:13 |
| abhijit | okies. | 10:13 |
| abhijit | will do it later. bye for now ActionParsnip | 10:13 |
| Daghdha | ActionParsnip: I don't know what you mean. It has 4 bashes ran, wich have launched processes that run under python or mono. | 10:13 |
| Daghdha | So i would expect it to be doing nothing | 10:13 |
| IcantGetNoSleep | 123 | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Daghdha: if you close the terminal, the child processes will die | 10:15 |
| sniperjo_ | anyone running ubuntu on an ARM ? | 10:15 |
| gry | sniperjo_, some of us are. what's up? | 10:15 |
| Daghdha | ActionParsnip: This is bad because all opened terminals will die | 10:16 |
| Daghdha | and their childprocesses, wich are using a DB.. wich i rather shut down gracefully | 10:16 |
| sniperjo_ | gry: i have a prebuilt version of angstrom on an arm that is working, but id love to get ubuntu up and running on it, I've tried some of the prebuilt images and got nowhere with them | 10:16 |
| Daghdha | ActionParsnip: If i do a shutdown, will it do it gracefully you think? | 10:16 |
| gry | didn't say I'm one of those people, but good, you asked the full question. :-) | 10:17 |
| sniperjo_ | gry: you had my hopes up ! | 10:17 |
| * gry hopes | 10:17 | |
| ActionParsnip | Daghdha: should do, yes | 10:19 |
| Daghdha | 2nd tiem i had this, must be some gnome-terminal bug | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Daghdha: I'd do it manually, just to be sure | 10:19 |
| Daghdha | manually do what? Shut down? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Daghdha: could try it from xterm, see if it is a bug | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Daghdha: close down the apps etc | 10:20 |
| Daghdha | it happened twice in the last year | 10:20 |
| Daghdha | How can i manually close down an app if i can't get to it's prompt? | 10:20 |
| IcantGetNoSleep | . | 10:21 |
| Daghdha | ActionParsnip i see 'end process' in the system monitor, is that what you mean? | 10:21 |
| snape | i'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Out of the blue, when i login all windows are grey not responding at all and the theme isn't loading. It's only with my main user. Other users work fine. I can't start programs and cannot logout. I have no clue what i should search for. I would really appreciate your help | 10:22 |
| ffk27 | snape: you touched compiz? | 10:23 |
| snape | nope | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | grey windows are compiz's way of telling you an app is hanging | 10:23 |
| ffk27 | well i guess rm ~ .gnome* will fix it | 10:23 |
| snape | i will try | 10:24 |
| ffk27 | no wait | 10:24 |
| gry | back up first | 10:24 |
| ffk27 | i'm not an expert | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | snape: try: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz; compiz --replace | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | snape: will set compiz to defaults and may help | 10:24 |
| snape | thx i will try that | 10:24 |
| Daghdha | and that app can be gnome-terminal, in my case. | 10:27 |
| Daghdha | OH | 10:29 |
| Daghdha | problem 'solved' | 10:29 |
| Daghdha | apparently when you click 'close' on 1 terminal and it says 'not responding force quit?' and you say yes it closes ALL terminals. | 10:30 |
| Daghdha | Is there a setting that makes every terminal run in it's own process? | 10:31 |
| DeathWolf | hi all | 10:32 |
| ffk27 | hello | 10:32 |
| DeathWolf | Is there any proper way of using say a natty repo in lucid but with a "lower" priority | 10:32 |
| jrib | DeathWolf: no | 10:32 |
| geirha | Daghdha: You could use uxterm or urxvt instead of gnome-terminal | 10:33 |
| DeathWolf | ie, I just want one package that's not backported(xserver-xorg 1.10), and try for the best(I don't mind if it breaks everything, I'm doing testing) | 10:33 |
| jrib | !pinning | DeathWolf | 10:33 |
| ubottu | DeathWolf: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 10:33 |
| ffk27 | daghdha: use screen | 10:33 |
| jrib | DeathWolf: things will break | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | snape: any better? | 10:33 |
| jrib | DeathWolf: (likely) | 10:33 |
| DeathWolf | yeah I know | 10:34 |
| Daghdha | ffk27: wills creen prevent my terminals from locking up or running under the same process? | 10:34 |
| === SchlauFuchs is now known as qqwref | ||
| DeathWolf | the thing is 1.7.5 is ancient, and only 1.10 has newer features like xcomposite with xinerama | 10:34 |
| ffk27 | yes i think so | 10:34 |
| jrib | DeathWolf: so why don't you upgrade your ubuntu? | 10:34 |
| DeathWolf | I don't mind trying that too, but do-release-upgrade complains of some stuff | 10:34 |
| robs_ | hello i have problem with my bulit in dvb-t tuner, can somebody help me? :) | 10:35 |
| jrib | DeathWolf: what stuff? | 10:35 |

| Ibis | Anyone in here by any chance using Konversation Chat clinet? | 10:37 |
| DeathWolf | mmm most of these are corporate confidential though ...(it's internal repositories) | 10:37 |
| Ibis | Client* | 10:37 |
| Daghdha | geirha: Okay i added the uxterm to the menu. I will start usingthat instead i guess | 10:37 |
| geirha | Daghdha: I use gnome-terminal though and I can't remember ever seeing such a message when closing a gnome-terminal window | 10:38 |
| DeathWolf | sigh, why didn't anyoen backport xorg 1.10 to lucid:( | 10:39 |
| geirha | Daghdha: I never use the X-button to close it though, I always exit the shell it is running instead, typically by hitting Ctrl+D at the bash prompt. | 10:39 |
| DeathWolf | I wonder how much work it'd be to get it backported | 10:39 |
| Daghdha | geirha: all my terms where grey. gnome-terminal process was taking 100% cpu | 10:39 |
| geirha | Daghdha: Yeah, I've gotten that with other applications, just never gnome-terminal. Not that I can remember anyway. | 10:40 |
| Daghdha | well as you can imagine that's pretty bad one to have it with. | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | SetiAmon: or easier, remove the card altogether | 10:40 |
| Daghdha | i think it should have a moe where you can have each term have it's own process | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | DeathWolf: there is the xorg edgers PPA, its very experimental so may cause issues | 10:41 |

| DeathWolf | seems like their lucid is still only 1.7.5 too | 10:42 |
| SetiAmon | whats the name of the thing i need to reinstall.pavucontrol? | 10:42 |
| DeathWolf | which is more ancient than the pyramids | 10:42 |
| SetiAmon | whats the volume controller | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | DeathWolf: yes but its stable | 10:42 |
| geirha | Daghdha: When you hit the X-button, it goes on a killing spree, trying to kill all child processes, whether they be backgrounded or not. It was probably waiting for one of them to die when it was hanging. By exiting the shell instead, that won't happen. | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | DeathWolf: use at your own risk: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates?field.series_filter=lucid | 10:43 |

| lolcat | Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Server at wiki Port 80 <- Does that mean they are running Ubuntu 5.10? | 11:00 |
| unk | lolcat: it means PHP 5.2.4 not ubuntu | 11:00 |
| lolcat | unk: 'ubuntu5.10' | 11:01 |
| unk | ActionParsnip: any solution of it | 11:01 |
| lolcat | what is 5.10? | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | unk: then that's why. if you set the interfaces there then network manager cannot touch them | 11:01 |
| === Guest63578 is now known as jbache | ||
| ActionParsnip | unk: so when I asked "are they defined in /etc/network/interfaces" your answer should have been YES and we would be moving | 11:02 |
| unk | ActionParsnip: i didnt edit any file then why it is happen?? | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | unk: you must have, or whomever set it up has. The default file ONLY has lo0 defined | 11:02 |
| unk | ActionParsnip: is there any other service which may be handling it?? if yes how could i find it? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | unk: no, just that file | 11:04 |
| unk | lolcat: if its 5.10 then it must be ubuntu 5.10 | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !5.10 | 11:04 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 11:04 |
| unk | ActionParsnip: what should i do now ??? | 11:04 |
| xoveruk1 | hi | 11:04 |
| lolcat | ActionParsnip: Does that string mean they are using Ubuntu 5.10? | 11:04 |
| Pici | lolcat: it just means that the version of php on that server is 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10. If I had to guess, it would be runnning a not-recently updated version of 8.04 (8.04 shipped with php5-5.2.4-2ubuntu5 and the latest in their repositories is 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.17 | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | unk: comment out the lins in the file but leave the ones with lo on them, then reboot | 11:04 |
| xoveruk1 | How can I check if syslogd is running for monitoring purposes? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | xoveruk1: ps -ef | grep logd | 11:05 |

| lolcat | That makes sence | 11:05 |

| xoveruk1 | i want to check that it actually works | 11:05 |
| xoveruk1 | and then send that information back to the remote nagios system | 11:05 |

| Defusal_ | Hi everyone | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | hi Defusal_ | 11:08 |
| Defusal_ | is it possible to install ubuntu server on a flash drive? | 11:08 |
| unk | ActionParsnip: ok | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: sure | 11:09 |
| Defusal_ | or do i need to download ubuntu desktop now instead? | 11:09 |
| Defusal_ | ActionParsnip, how? | 11:09 |
| bubblegum | Hello Guys. This may not relate to Linux (I'm not sure were to ask it) but is there some way to only specify what OIDs (Object Identifiers) you want when doing an SNMP walk? For example: I only want the OID for a temperature gauge on an SNMP enabled device. Does this make sense? | 11:09 |
| Defusal_ | i used unetbootin and it says it cant install without a CD, and theres no option to boot, like ubuntu desktop has | 11:09 |
| macer1 | Defusal_, run Ubuntu Server installator from CD or another USB, and install it to your flash drive. Then boot from it,customize it, add webserver or what do you want :) | 11:10 |
| Defusal_ | macer1, so with other flash drive, it wont say it cant continue without a CD? | 11:11 |
| macer1 | Defusal_, like this was in Debian 5 :D? | 11:11 |
| Defusal_ | macer1, he ok, ill give it a go | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 11:12 |
| Defusal_ | this installation is turing out to be one of the most painful experiences to date :/ | 11:12 |
| macer1 | Defusal_, good luck, I think Ubuntu Server should install to usb from another usb with no problem ;) | 11:12 |
| Defusal_ | ActionParsnip, sure | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: I believe there is a boot option to make it not look for a CD, let me search | 11:14 |
| bubblegum | anyone know? | 11:14 |
| Chipzzz | Defusal_: have you thought about running it in a virtual machine with the image on the USB drive? | 11:15 |
| cdavis | can notify-send cause a sound at the same time it displays the text? | 11:16 |
| macer1 | ActionParsnip, I think ubuntu server is not checking for cd | 11:16 |
| Ibis | O_o | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: could try the minimal ISO instead :) | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | macer1: it can but there is a boot option to supress it etc | 11:17 |
| eyadof | hi i try to redirect my input using < but it don't work ? i write some thing like : ls < test.txt | 11:18 |

| KNUBBIG | eyadof: oh sorry misread | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: | 11:18 |
| KNUBBIG | eyadof: why would you input a file to ls? | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1550317 | 11:19 |
| eyadof | @knubbig it's an example | 11:19 |
| eyadof | it dosn't work complitly | 11:19 |
| Defusal_ | Chipzzz: how exactly is that going to help me? | 11:20 |
| Defusal_ | ActionParsnip: why should I need to do that manually? I don't even have the ISO on the flash drive, thats the whole reason I'm using unetbootin? | 11:21 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: some how i got it to load from usb.... | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: when the usb starts to boot you sometimes need to mess around in another prompt is the installer starts asking about optical media | 11:21 |
| Defusal_ | Unless you're saying unetbootin doesn't support ubuntu server | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: it does | 11:22 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: the problem now is my existing version on laptop is 9.10, now i got the 11.04... How can I update and still keep the data or how to get the grub ready ? | 11:22 |
| Defusal_ | in which case i'll rather download desktop, and save some more wasted time | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: if you need a desktop OS, then install one :) | 11:22 |
| Defusal_ | those instructions are for mounting an iso to install from, are they not? | 11:23 |
| Defusal_ | that is not how unetbootin works | 11:23 |
| Chipzzz | Defusal_: Your problem appears to be that you can't boot the iso in order to install the system to the usb. The virtual machine would boot from the iso and you could put the virtual machine on the USB drive. | 11:23 |
| Defusal_ | i need an OS, thats about it | 11:23 |
| Defusal_ | one that works | 11:23 |
| Defusal_ | Chipzzz, no. | 11:24 |
| Chipzzz | Defusal_: Ah... sorry... i misunderstood the problem | 11:24 |
| unknown_hunk | ActionParsnip: thnx it solve my problem | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Defusal_: desktop is an easy ride. You can use Xubuntu or Lubuntu for a light desktop | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | unknown_hunk: np :) | 11:25 |
| Defusal_ | ActionParsnip, yeah i think that may be simpler for using a flash drive, as it just works, and live boots | 11:25 |

| Amdpc | Hi...When I am on 1st workspace,I cannot go to 4th workspace directly using desktp wall.What to enable fot it ? | 12:15 |
| llutz_ | dhiren: easier to use an own partition for installation and dual-boot. wubi shouldn't be used at all | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dhiren: i would go that way. You can use wubi and install to your windows partition but it is a bit harder to fix if it goes belly up, it will also be directly affected by the fragmentation of NTFS | 12:17 |
| dhiren | llutz_: how to do that.. i have three partition..one windows one my backup and other I want to use for windows | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | dhiren: what version of windows is it? | 12:18 |
| dhiren | llutz_: sorry the other for ubuntu | 12:18 |

| llutz_ | unknown_hunk: ntfs is a proprietary fs, all tools have to be reverse engineered. that's not that easy in most cases and the reason why some things aren't available yet | 12:28 |

| rabbi1 | how to stop "preparing to install ubuntu" window on a live CD ? | 13:39 |
| usr13 | yixuan: You may need to re-install. When upgrade does not completely finish, it is hard to recover. | 13:40 |
| BluesKaj | KMNsadface, read the bot post above | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | rabbi1: if its resizeing the hard disks.. you dont want to stop it. You could break any other os's or partitons on the disk. | 13:40 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: ok, so that's a start: you have a good installation on that disk, and you can boot it. The partitions other than sda2 are mountable and readable by backtrack. So, first, we will try to recover the sda2 partition. | 13:40 |
| Ibis | viv: Lemme know if that worked out for you. | 13:40 |
| viv | Ibis : Thank You ,I have done this | 13:41 |
| rabbi1 | dr_willis: no no, its before partitioning, still in initial stage, the "quit" button has no effect | 13:41 |
| yixuan | usr13: how can I re-install it? format my disk? or upgrade again? | 13:41 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: are you in backtrack right now? Is it possible for you to switch to an ubuntu live cd (or usb) for the remainder of this session? | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | rabbi1: sounds like its totally crashed. can you get to the console? You could just reboot the machine i guess. | 13:41 |
| rabbi1 | dr_willis: i don't need to install it right now, just got to restore my previous grud, i just need to go to Live CD desktop | 13:41 |
| usr13 | yixuan: If you have a separate partition for /home you can leave it un-formatted and re-use it after re-install. Otherwise, back-up your personal files and just reinstall and restore them. | 13:41 |
| yixuan | usr13: another information is, if I type startx can work | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | rabbi1: you clicked install instead of 'try' at the start? | 13:41 |
| rabbi1 | dr_willis: reboot is done, but takes lot of time to get back to this mode again | 13:41 |
| rabbi1 | dr_willis: yeah, my bad | 13:42 |
| usr13 | yixuan: It might. Try and see. | 13:42 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: yes, i can change computers; but my LiveCD is actually on my ubuntu partition that i cant log into lol | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | rabbi1: not sure of the best way to get to it. if you can get to the console, you could try 'sudo service gdm restart' | 13:42 |
| rabbi1 | dr_willis: o great, will try with F6 | 13:42 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: if we fix my ubuntu ill be able to grab my USB drive folder from the Desktop and toss it on my USB stick, unless you want me to just redownload it. | 13:42 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: I'd like you to try the first step of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#GNU_Parted and tell me what happens | 13:42 |
| rabbi1 | dr_willis: no effect :( | 13:43 |
| BluesKaj | oops sorry KMNsadface I thought you were one of those backtrackers looking for help it | 13:43 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: just note that if there's anything different about backtrack (like how to use apt-get to retrieve packages), I don't know how to help there, but other than that, tools are tools regardless of the linux flavour, I believe | 13:44 |
| rabbi1 | dr_willis: what could be the process name of that ? | 13:44 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: will i be doing these commands while on BT? | 13:44 |
| usr13 | yixuan: Not certain what you have there (what condition your system is really in), but you will more-than-likely need an install CD. | 13:44 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: this is where the "keeping it in the channel" is handy. can anyone contradict me that parted is parted regardless of distro? | 13:45 |

| chris____ | @Ristovski shoot... | 13:58 |

| KMNsadface | mbeierl: http://pastebin.com/1e7M5dxa | 13:59 |
| jsebean | mix22891: you use chmod to change permissions of files. Eg. to make them executable. | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mix22891: its a way to change if something is writable, readable and executable | 13:59 |
| Ristovski | chris____ i installed to SD card ... booted then a fucking message box comes out saying not enough space when there is 2GB left | 13:59 |

| jsebean | Hi all I checked the MD5 of both images i downloaded of ubuntu they are both identical to the md5 on the ubuntu website.... I am still getting ubiquity after I boot to the HDD, any ideas? I installed with USB. | 13:59 |
| h00k | !language | Ristovski | 14:00 |
| ubottu | Ristovski: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 14:00 |
| Ristovski | jsebean : you used live cd and THEN installed to USB? or directly? | 14:00 |
| usr13 | Ristovski: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 14:00 |
| Ristovski | usr13 : I cant get on linux! | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mix22891: if the file is stored on FAT or NTFS then it will not hold the executableness. You will need to mount the entire partition so that ALL files are executable. If it is stored in a linux file system then this will work fine | 14:00 |
| Ristovski | you get the point? | 14:00 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: ok, so it did not recognize a filesystem on the partition. you said that is the ubuntu install? So the filesystem should be ext4? | 14:00 |
| erozio | Pici: are u still with me? | 14:01 |
| Pici | erozio: It looks like getdeb has built packages for yagf: http://www.getdeb.net/software/yagf | 14:01 |
| mbeierl | Ristovski: calm down, pleaes | 14:01 |
| usr13 | Ristovski: One of your partitions is obviously full. You need to find out which one it is and change partition sizes to suit your needs. | 14:01 |
| Ristovski | I cant...Im trying to fix ubuntu for 2 months | 14:01 |
| erozio | Pici: yes, llutz__ has told me that 2 mins ago | 14:01 |
| jsebean | Ristovski : I used USB to install the OS. No CD involved. And I didn't boot in the "live cd" to test ubuntu at all, i just directly installed it | 14:01 |
| Ristovski | usr13 : there is 2GB left... | 14:01 |
| usr13 | Ristovski: On which partitions? What partitions do you have? | 14:02 |
| erozio | Pici: by the way, how did u understand, that getdeb has packeges? | 14:02 |
| Promille_ | Is irc.ubuntu.com and irc.freenode.org the same server? | 14:02 |
| rubbs | Does anyone else have an issue with terminal bells not sounding with Unity? | 14:02 |
| Pici | Promille_: yes | 14:02 |
| erozio | Pici: i mean, how to find repos? | 14:02 |
| Promille_ | Pici: ok, thanks | 14:02 |
| Pici | erozio: I just did some various google searches. | 14:02 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: win7, | 14:02 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: Sda1 is the boot i think or whatever for win7 and sda2 is the actual win7 | 14:03 |
| jsebean | Hi all I checked the MD5 of both images i downloaded of ubuntu they are both identical to the md5 on the ubuntu website.... I am still getting ubiquity after I boot to the HDD, any ideas? I installed with USB, I used another computer with Ubuntu and used the startup disk creator to make the bootable USB. | 14:03 |
| erozio | Pici: ohhh i failed them =( there were only results in my native language, and there's nothing about getdeb | 14:03 |
| erozio | Pici: anyway, thanks a lot | 14:03 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: oh, sorry, misunderstood something then. ok, so the filesystem itself should be ntfs. give me a moment, please... | 14:03 |

| jsebean | oh dear ignore my stupid question I found out whats up, now i feel dumb lol | 14:05 |
| jsebean | apparently i had an Ubuntu CD also inserted in the Computer, when I took out the USB it booted from CD. UGH sorry | 14:06 |

| javier__ | hi. I'm under ubuntu 11.04 but i want to install in a different partition another linux distribution that would make my batery life longer in order to use it in trips. What advise can you give me? which distribution safe most battery? | 14:06 |
| h00k | javier__: that would probably be a better discussion for ##linux than in here. | 14:07 |
| === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin | ||
| h00k | javier__: since it's not an Ubuntu specific support question | 14:07 |
| javier__ | h00k: you are right | 14:07 |
| javier__ | I'll go there. Thanks! | 14:07 |
| swim | javier__ just install a lxde interface to your ubuntu | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | uit | 14:08 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: oooo. that's not so good. ok, so because it's ntfs and the tools there a little different than normal, the next thing I would recommend doing is finding enough space to make a copy of the partition data and work directly against that instead of the raw partition. | 14:08 |
| onlineamateur | swim: Did it work right after you installed ubuntu? | 14:09 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: i don't suppose you have a spare 232gb disk lying around, do you? | 14:09 |
| swim | nope, that's when i first noticed it i believe, i use that key all the time | 14:09 |
| javier__ | swim: what is lxde interface? | 14:09 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: i dont have enough space on this hard drive, but i have a computer beside me i could.. | 14:10 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: i been meaning to reformat the other hardrive anyways so im not worried about losing the data on my other 500gb | 14:10 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: how will you copy it there? | 14:10 |
| swim | javier__ there's some great tutorials online that explain installing alternative interfaces to ubuntu and the benefits of doing so | 14:10 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: or can you shut down and install it into the computer under repair? | 14:10 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: i have no idea, i could just install the other hard drive in this computer.. | 14:11 |
| === james_local is now known as jwheare_local | ||
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: i mean is that what you're asking? is to make a backup of the partition im trying to recover? | 14:11 |
| === richard is now known as Guest32983 | ||
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: yes, that is basically it. i would not want to attempt a repair and end up destroying your only copy of the data | 14:12 |
| javier__ | swim: that would let me use both unity and lxde interface? is it to choose when loggin in as when you choose unity or classic ubuntu? | 14:13 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: the next step is to use the ntfsfix program to see if it can find anything useful in the partition. Syntax: ntfsfix /dev/sda2 | 14:13 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: but I would like you to have a backup before we try that | 14:13 |
| swim | javier__ exactly.. only you'd be choosing to login using the lxde interface, which is like running lubuntu, much more lightweight of an interface | 14:14 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: alright will you be here when i come back? | 14:14 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: why I thought that was your Ubuntu install partition is you said that the live cd was on the ubuntu partition and you could not get to it | 14:14 |
| javier__ | swim: that's great, what I was looking for. Thanks, I will google more about it | 14:14 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: i should be, depending on how long you're gone :) I'm around for about 6 more hours | 14:15 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: yeah, i have win7 and ubuntu, backtrack 5 r1 heh | 14:15 |
| swim | javier__ it may not be the answer to your question, but it's worth knowing about and maybe trying at least | 14:15 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: lol if it takes me 6hours to install a hard drive.. then id like you to shun me :p | 14:15 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: can you just mount that ubuntu partition and put it live cd iso onto a usb stick? | 14:15 |
| javier__ | swim: looks better a light interface for my same distribution that another distribution. If it saves battery, may be what I'm looking for | 14:15 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: don't tempt fate, man. you have no idea how wrong things can go even with a simple hdd install :) But it is better now in the days of SATA than the old ide primary/slave | 14:16 |
| nullcore | arand: why shouldn't i uninstall anything installed using tasksel? | 14:16 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: im looking at gparted and i see /dev/sda3 ntfs /label ubuntu... | 14:17 |
| swim | javier__ i'd at least give it a shot.. it's hard to find other distros that dual boot with ubuntu that don't end up being a big hassle.. now if you install ubuntu after having another distro installed, that's much easier.. | 14:17 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: so you should be able to "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ubuntu ; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/ubuntu" | 14:17 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/91753173.png/ | 14:18 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: and voila, you have your ubuntu partition mounted | 14:18 |
| runlevelten | hi folks. in Gnome 2.32.1, how does a user remove the generated entry from under "Connect to server" when using/browsing the remote machine is done - ie: switch off(unmount) what they did with the GUI? | 14:18 |
| KMNsadface | mb okay so just copy and paste " sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ubuntu ; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/ubuntu" | 14:18 |
| runlevelten | (if anyone knows) | 14:18 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: oh. hold up... | 14:18 |
| swim | javier__ but like those other guys said, i'd ask in the linux channels too.. there are some really knowledgeable people around this server who know a whole lot more about that stuff than i do.. i just thought i'd mention lxde or xfce because i personally like them so much | 14:18 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: it says that /dev/sda3 is filesystem type NTFS. Apparently /that/ is your Windows partition now?!? | 14:19 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: honestly.. i have no idea my computer is trolling me :( | 14:19 |
| javier__ | lxde is lighter than xfce, isnt it? | 14:19 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: so yes, let's try first: "sudo mkdir /mnt/recovery", then "sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/recovery" | 14:20 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: /sda3 should be my Ubuntu i believe, /sda5 is Backtrack and /sda2 is win7.. i THINK | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | anyone has a solution for the kworker bug? http://fossplanet.com/f10/%5Bbug-717919%5D-re-acpi-kworker-high-interrupts-134097/ | 14:20 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: then do a "ls -al /mnt/recovery" and tell me if it there is a "/mnt/recovery/Windows" or "/mnt/recovery/lost+found" | 14:21 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: there will be lots of other files in that directory too | 14:21 |
| runlevelten | ah, scratch that, I think I've just had nautilus crash - I thought the desktop icon had been removed | 14:22 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: http://pastebin.com/6Yt08hKs | 14:23 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: ?? Wow. that's a new one. Are there more there, or is that it? That is definitely an NTFS partition, as shown by the $RECYCLE.BIN | 14:25 |
| mbeierl | anyone here familiary with Wubi? Would take make an install like what is shown by KMNsadface's pastebin? | 14:25 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: thats my ubuntu, i had WoW mounted from my win7 to ubuntu; and rhe recycle bin f*** knows lol | 14:25 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: but i do remember seeing it before. | 14:26 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: i did use Wubi to install ubuntu if that's what you're asking. | 14:27 |
| SpiderFred | hi when I use pc="uname -n" its just write uname -n, how to make it execute command and write output? | 14:29 |
| SpiderFred | *as variable | 14:29 |
| llutz_ | SpiderFred: pc=$(uname -n) | 14:29 |
| SpiderFred | llutz_: thx | 14:29 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: ok, that makes sense. I've never actually seen a Wubi install before. It's somewhat ... unusual, but it makes sense that it installs Ubuntu under an NTFS file system. So, yes, then /dev/sda3 is your ubuntu install | 14:32 |
| mbeierl | KMNsadface: busy for a bit, go ahead and put the new HD into your box | 14:32 |
| Gredeu | depends diapers due to irritable bowel syndrm starting at age 50 is a very serious offense against ubuntu | 14:33 |

| OerHeks | Wubi is a windows installer for ubuntu inside windows | 14:34 |

| itai_michaelson | hi, i have a dpkg question, i need to build a package with a "--enable-password-save " argument, can anyone tell me the syntax ,is it dpkg-i <package name> ----enable-password-save ? | 14:41 |
| jrib | itai_michaelson: you mean as an option to ./configure? | 14:41 |
| itai_michaelson | jrib, honestly , i'm not sure. in the man page it asked me to build the package with this option , i assumed it can be done with dpkg, | 14:42 |
| BluesKaj | bbl | 14:43 |
| jrib | itai_michaelson: you would have to rebuild the package after editing debian/rules. What package? | 14:43 |
| KMNsadface | mbeierl: okay sounds good, sorry for delay i had someone come to the door. | 14:43 |
| OerHeks | after update flash 10.3.183.10, my chromium askes for ... update 10.3.183.10 :( | 14:43 |

| OerHeks | what do i need to do to get this right ? | 14:44 |
| jrib | !source | itai_michaelson | 14:44 |
| ubottu | itai_michaelson: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 14:44 |
| jrib | itai_michaelson: why do you need this option? | 14:44 |
| itai_michaelson | jrib, i want to autologin to the vpn server without having to input my credentials everytime | 14:45 |
| jrib | itai_michaelson: in fact I am looking at openvpn's debian/rules now and I see that it was buillt with --enable-password-save | 14:45 |
| erozio | hey guys | 14:47 |
| itai_michaelson | jrib, well whenever i run openvpn from the terminal everything is ok, but when i run this script "gnome-terminal --working-directory /etc/openvpn -e 'bash -lc "cd /etc/openvpn ;sudo openvpn --config 15\ -\ myvpn\ tw3.ovpn --auth-user-pass credentials ;bash"', it doesnt connect to the vpn, so i assumed it's the enable-password thing (only cause i saw it on the ubuntu forum and the guy who wrote it mentions that option) | 14:48 |
| erozio | i got qt 4.6.2, i need 4.7+ for some software, how to renew it? | 14:48 |

| LmtdAt | How do I check an environment variable? | 14:50 |

| LmtdAt | tomodachi, beautiful | 14:50 |
| tomodachi | LmtdAt: or echo $yourvariable | 14:51 |
| llutz_ | LmtdAt: echo $envvar | 14:51 |
| tomodachi | LmtdAt: beat you! | 14:51 |
| LmtdAt | so, when DISPLAY=":0.0", what does that mean? | 14:51 |
| tomodachi | LmtdAt: it defines where your X server is supposed to start this means from a local machine | 14:51 |
| LmtdAt | did llutz write reflector? | 14:51 |
| LmtdAt | What if DISPLAY isn't present in export? | 14:52 |
| llutz_ | LmtdAt: either no X running or just no DISPLAY exported | 14:53 |

| erozio | how to update qt libraries? | 14:57 |
| gribouille | jrib, that doesn't answer my question | 14:57 |
| jrib | itai_michaelson: read debian/rules in the openvpn* directory | 14:57 |
| jrib | gribouille: #ubuntu+1 for your question | 14:58 |
| itai_michaelson | jrib, is that before or after i build the package ? | 14:59 |
| jrib | itai_michaelson: no building, we're just reading the file | 14:59 |

| burg | hello. can i create new email accounts without creating new ubuntu users? | 14:59 |
| llutz_ | itai_michaelson: if your "..online banking depends on a very specific version of FF.." and that needs ancient OS like karmic you'd consider to swap the bank ;) | 15:00 |
| jrib | llutz_: yes it does seem like an "interesting" policy | 15:00 |
| llutz_ | burg: depends on your mta, "virtual users" is the way to go | 15:01 |
| itai_michaelson | llutz, thanks, but i didnt choose the bank, my company did | 15:01 |
| burg | llutz, i use postfix | 15:02 |
| g0rs | Hi, can I pm anybody about a cultural question or thing? | 15:02 |
| llutz_ | itai_michaelson: swap it too :) but seriously: they should think about that, using that old stuff is not ver safe | 15:02 |

| necopost | 11.04 Suspend mode wont work. | 15:03 |
| llutz_ | burg: visit postfix.org, use the documentation, read about "virtual users" | 15:03 |
| jrib | itai_michaelson: does the site just not work with more recent firefox? If it's a useragent issue, I'd try just modifying that. Otherwise, I'd suggest running current ubuntu and installing the firefox version manually using an old tarball | 15:04 |
| g0rs | has anybody used pgp with evolution email client? | 15:04 |

| llutz_ | stercor_: wait or kill its parent (be carefull) | 15:17 |
| stercor_ | llutz_: How do I determine its parent? | 15:17 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: that's just CDROM, that could be problem with that , not other hardware, bios is detecting USB and HDD | 15:17 |

| arfbtwn | hi there, has anyone got any experience running latest banshee (from git) on ubuntu natty? I know there's a daily ppa but I was planning on trying to write extensions. | 15:21 |
| Petskull | Hey- I'm about to resize my win7 partition so I can install Natty on my Vaio- is there a way to do it without the recovery CD? | 15:21 |
| llutz_ | Teh_Lemon: make a cron-job shutting down your machine every 12 hrs | 15:22 |
| Petskull | 'cause I'm sorta in Afghanistan atm | 15:22 |
| Teh_Lemon | hm... no shutdown | 15:22 |
| ikonia | Petskull: no, you can't be using the disk while you're resizing it | 15:22 |
| MyWay | I can't find mouse speed in mouse settings.. how to set it? | 15:22 |
| Petskull | um... what? | 15:22 |
| ikonia | Petskull: so you need to boot from somewhere else | 15:22 |
| Teh_Lemon | if its already on, dont do anything | 15:22 |
| Petskull | I mean after I resize the ntfs partition | 15:22 |
| Teh_Lemon | or just lock computer and ask for ... 'higher power' to open it | 15:22 |
| Teh_Lemon | unlock it* | 15:22 |
| ikonia | Petskull: to resize a disk, you need to not be using the disk, so thats why you need to boot from a mediau | 15:22 |
| ikonia | Petskull: sorry, am I miss-understanding. What is your question. | 15:23 |
| Petskull | ok ok, I'm on an ubuntu livecd right now | 15:23 |
| ikonia | Petskull: ok | 15:23 |
| LaWU | @ikonia, rumpel & jpmh: Thanks for the answers. Well like I stated, I'm looking for something to learn programming on, so ofcourse, it should be easy to use, and it should have some form support/ guids online for new programmers. As for the language, I got no clue - suggestions? | 15:23 |
| Petskull | I need to resize my ntfs partiton with gparted to make space for the ubuntu install | 15:23 |
| rumpe1 | Teh_Lemon, i can't think of any scenario in which this would make any sense | 15:23 |
| llutz_ | Petskull: win7 can resize partitions, no need for a cd | 15:23 |
| h000pi | <H0pi> hi | 15:24 |
| h000pi | <H0pi> can someone help me configure a proxy? | 15:24 |
| h000pi | <H0pi> i put the ip address and the port in the proxy switcher but doenst work | 15:24 |
| h000pi | 15:24 | |
| Petskull | I keep reading that this hoses win7 and I need the win recovery CD to fix it | 15:24 |
| FloodBot1 | h000pi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:24 |
| h000pi | tr00l | 15:24 |
| Petskull | that cd is kinda not an option for me | 15:24 |
| ikonia | Petskull: is windows broke ? | 15:24 |
| ikonia | Petskull: it shouldn't break it | 15:24 |
| mk1342 | Petskull: rezising the partition with gparted won't break windows | 15:24 |
| Teh_Lemon | 2 users using computer. one is overusing, and he needs to be controled. without making 2 accounts. | 15:24 |
| Petskull | so I ask you, what other options do I have? | 15:24 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | Petskull: What do you mean? | 15:25 |
| ikonia | Petskull: ask long as you've run all the precautions before hand (defrag, chkdisk, etc) you should be fine | 15:25 |
| Petskull | um.. I remember I had to do backflips on WinVista because is made it hard on purpose | 15:25 |
| llutz_ | Teh_Lemon: theres hardly a technical solution for social problems | 15:25 |
| rumpe1 | LaWU, There are tutorials/howtos for every known language on the web. But if you want to learn ubuntu/linux/etc., why not start with a shell (like bash) and start with little scripts? Maybe an backup-script? | 15:25 |
| h000pi | someone? | 15:25 |
| mk1342 | Petskull: however, installing ubuntu will overwrite the boot manager used by windows (but the boot manager used by ubuntu can also boot windows) | 15:25 |
| h000pi | someone? | 15:25 |
| h000pi | asdasdasdfasdfas | 15:25 |

| Petskull | you sure win7 doesn't do the same thing? | 15:25 |
| Petskull | ikonia, have you resized a Win7 partition? did it work with no problem? | 15:26 |
| Teh_Lemon | i am teh ... 'god' one. so i want to limit computer that it self locks every 12h | 15:26 |
| Teh_Lemon | lol | 15:26 |
| mbeierl | Teh_Lemon: perhaps you could explain your request again? I am not sure I understand what you would like done. You want your password to expire every 12 hours ... | 15:26 |
| ikonia | Petskull: yes, many times | 15:26 |

| dj_beirut | hi.. i am running ubuntu and i can't make deluge-daemon run on startup. i have to run sudo deluged and sudo deluge-web to start it up every time. can anyone help? i am new to linux! | 15:27 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | understood | 15:27 |
| mbeierl | Teh_Lemon: oh, you don't actually want your password to change, you want the account to do something like lock the screen so that a password is required to access it again | 15:27 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: have no idea, i was using windows on virtual machine and openoffice writer that's it | 15:27 |
| Petskull | do you know what I'm talking about resizing Win7? | 15:27 |
| rubbs | dj_beirut: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/InitScript | 15:27 |
| ikonia | Petskull: yes, and it's fine | 15:28 |
| ikonia | rabbi1: boot from a remote media, and see if you can mount the internal disk | 15:28 |
| Petskull | it had those 2 immovable blocks at the end of the partition SPECIFICALLY so you couldn't resize it? | 15:28 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | Petskull: Try to defrag? | 15:28 |
| Petskull | because there's a few links out here that say you need the windows recovery CD- like the HowToGeek | 15:29 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: tried last time, but now again i am on it. trying to boot from USB, but takes lot of time, with that "DRDY ERR, and ABRT error " this runs continuously, takes heavy time to boot from USB | 15:29 |
| Petskull | MAREK_BENC_NetB, yeah, that's what I'm thinking | 15:29 |
| mk1342 | Petskull: you don't need the windows CD, just resize using GParted and you should be fine | 15:29 |
| ikonia | rabbi1: it sounds like you have a hardware error.......again | 15:29 |
| auronandace | Petskull: just use gparted | 15:29 |
| Petskull | alright- game on. Thanks, guys! | 15:30 |

| Petskull | Recommendations on a 300Gb "data" partition to be read from both Ubuntu and Windows? | 15:35 |
| Petskull | NTFS? | 15:35 |
| mk1342 | Petskull: most likely, yes | 15:35 |
| Petskull | too big for FAT32, I think | 15:35 |
| Petskull | yeah, I'll do that | 15:35 |
| auronandace | Petskull: you can use fat32 if you know for certain you won't be dealing with files over 4gb | 15:36 |
| auronandace | Petskull: but yeah, ntfs is the better choice | 15:36 |

| Goldline | Yah i know but im refering to beta 2 as mentioned in the release scedule | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Petskull: no, you'll need windows for that, or a 3rd party too on liveCD etc | 15:38 |

| kkulhavy | burg, I would recommend to try it with the /etc/skel, because we tried to do something like this too and it didnt work | 16:20 |
| kkulhavy | We assume because the program (KDE) stored some data which are user-specific | 16:21 |

| CatKiller | Hi there! I have two Network Interfaces. One is configured as dhcp and the other one as static in /etc/network/interfaces. It all works pretty well except that every half an hour the DHCP client kicks in for *both* interfaces and updates the route and the IP address of the static iface. I have to ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 to reload its static address and route settings. Does anybody know why? | 16:57 |
| glebihan | !find /usr/include/bits/predefs.h | carli2 | 16:58 |

| KMDsadface | alkafoo: whats DD? | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | CatKiller: sudo lshw -C network will | 17:03 |
| CatKiller | angel56: wicd? I'd have to try | 17:03 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: of course, there's not much point cloning an entire drive unless it's a proprietary OS | 17:03 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: man dd | 17:03 |
| soreau | CatKiller: Its probably NetworkManager being weird. I usually dont use it and do everything manually | 17:04 |
| CatKiller | soreau: I do everything manually but it interferes! | 17:04 |
| angel56 | CatKiller: if you are comfortable with the config files, just take out nm and do the network manually | 17:04 |
| CatKiller | ActionParsnip: did it, won't map the ethX interface to "Wired connection X" found in Network Manager | 17:04 |
| CatKiller | angel56: I didn't know I could get rid of this package | 17:04 |
| soreau | CatKiller: If you already have it setup manually, chmod -x $(which NetworkManager) and reboot to stop it from running altogether | 17:04 |

| CatKiller | soreau: Arg, can't reboot this system however | 17:05 |
| genii-around | KMDsadface: Basically "DiscDupe" , you can use it to make an image file of an entire harddrive like: sudo dd if=/dev/<harddrive-designation-here> of=/outputfile/filename.img | 17:05 |
| soreau | CatKiller: Then just remove the executable bit and kill the process | 17:05 |
| angel56 | CatKiller: you can do the chmod and then just kill the nm process | 17:05 |

| genii-around | KMDsadface: If you want to make an exact copy of sda onto sdb then yes. Be careful that sdb is same-size or larger. Also they will end up with same UUID after which is not so good if you plan to use them both in same system at same time. | 17:11 |
| gnaddel | Question: What is the reason to use UUIDs instead to /dev/???? in the fstab? | 17:11 |
| alkafoo | gnaddel: it's slightly more specific, matching filesystems, not hardware | 17:11 |
| aeon-ltd | genii-around: uuids don't change | 17:11 |
| alkafoo | gnaddel: I don't personally see the reason | 17:12 |
| angel56 | gnaddel: it allows the system to use the same name for the same hard drive. If you have six usb drives, you can identify each by name | 17:12 |
| CatKiller | angel56: But it seems to be getting worse! | 17:12 |
| CatKiller | angel56: There was more configuration options with it before than there is now! | 17:12 |
| aeon-ltd | gnaddel: uuids don't change | 17:12 |
| aeon-ltd | genii-around: sorry about the message, my bad :( | 17:12 |
| genii-around | aeon-ltd: I think thats what I just stated. If you dd sda to sdb then it will be identical, including the UUID | 17:12 |
| alkafoo | it's the boring computer version of FS labels, which you can set to anything like 'weeepurpledrive' | 17:12 |
| angel56 | CatKiller: that is supposed to be an 'ubuntu improvement' | 17:12 |
| genii-around | aeon-ltd: Ah, no worries | 17:12 |
| alkafoo | well it will be identical, that's all you have to say | 17:12 |
| angel56 | CatKiller: probably why some of us are moving to debian, or something else | 17:13 |
| KMDsadface | genii-around: yes, i want to make an exact copy, the other hardrive is exactly the same size; so what can i do to prevent UUID. | 17:13 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: you don't have to worry about UUIDs | 17:13 |
| gnaddel | Related question: Why does my system still boot even though I have listed a wrong UUID in the fstab? (I moved my install to a larger hdd and didn't edit the fstab) | 17:13 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: and again, I suggest not copying to the other drive unless you mean to use _that_ drive regardless of whether you can fix the other | 17:13 |
| CT1 | alkafoo: Thanks. I was looking in /media "mount" told me it was in ~/.gvfs/xxx. Are you paid for your work? You always seem to be online and in possession of all the answers.... an advanced A.I. bot perhaps? Keep it up and thanks again! | 17:13 |

| alkafoo | KMDsadface: okay of= is for the output path | 17:14 |
| genii-around | KMDsadface: Is the filesystem ext2/3/4 or something else? | 17:14 |
| KMDsadface | alkafoo: i just want to make backup on a hardrive then attempt to repair one so it doesnt screw up and lose everything | 17:14 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: you're copying from /dev/sda (if=/dev/sda, input file) | 17:14 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: right | 17:15 |
| KMDsadface | right | 17:15 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: so dd if=/dev/foo of=/home/example/directory/path/anyfilenameyouwant.img | 17:15 |
| alkafoo | it's not worth cloning _over_ another disk, it's much saner to store as a simple file | 17:15 |
| alkafoo | and heads up it'll probably take several hours unless the disk is quite minute | 17:16 |
| KMDsadface | well now im just confused as SH** | 17:17 |
| ikonia | KMDsadface: if you have to star out a word, don't use it please. | 17:17 |
| KMDsadface | alkafoo: i just want to repair my windows without worrying about losing the data that's all. | 17:17 |
| soreau | KMDsadface: FWIW, of means output file and if means input file | 17:18 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: I know, I know | 17:18 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: what part are you confused about? | 17:18 |
| soreau | In the context of dd | 17:18 |
| KMDsadface | alkafoo: i understand the if/of, but you're saying its not worth cloning the entire disk?; is it possible if i try to repair my win7 that it can ruin my other partitions aswell? | 17:19 |
| soreau | and FWIW means For What Its Worth ;) | 17:19 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: no I'm saying it's not worth copying one disk's data _over_ another disk's | 17:20 |
| alkafoo | KMDsadface: instead you should copy one disk's data _to a file_ | 17:20 |
| alkafoo | it's the difference between [A] -> [B] and [A] -> [B]/somefile.img | 17:20 |
| alkafoo | in this situation, anyways, there are times when it's a decent enough enterprise | 17:21 |
| KMDsadface | alkafoo: yeah im not really comfortable in following that 10step thing from that website, i already tried following a guide earlier and i believe thats what damaged it even more. | 17:23 |

| t60guy | Hello, I had a question. I bought a refurbished T60 laptop a few weeks ago, got it and put ubuntu 10.04 on it. I used Gnome for quite a while, and then switched to awesome wm and started using wicd for network management (wireless). Everything worked perfectly for a few weeks, until a few days ago. I woke up and found that I couldn't connect to my home network, I could see it and a few other networks nearby, and I could begin | 17:25 |
| grendal-prime | i need to take an image and add highlighter marks on it.. | 17:25 |
| KMDsadface | alkafoo: honestly no idea, its been like 2 weeks since i attempted it. | 17:25 |
| grendal-prime | am i going full gimp for that? | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | yacc: I'd reboot then read through: dmesg | less to see what's going on | 17:25 |
| KMDsadface | alkafoo: it first started i think when i removed WinXP when i had Win7 and Ubuntu on a tri-boot, the mbr wasn't allowing me to load up into win7 so i got ticked off and tried to find it out then between that and something else the file ended up being uknown and i ended up installing backtrack5 R1 aswell. | 17:27 |

| alkafoo | nicofs: transcoding, imaging, and burning for video media is an incredibly complex process on any OS | 17:39 |
| alkafoo | nicofs: that's why I suggest copying to a USB stick, it's simple | 17:39 |
| nicofs | alkafoo, yes, i know - but if a program offers the option "burn vcd" that option should work. and i can't put a usb stick into the old-fashioned vcd player | 17:40 |
| alkafoo | I agree it should work, but you aren't going to get anywhere saying that =P | 17:41 |
| nicofs | alkafoo, no, but i think i might file a bug or something as soon as my schedule is not as tight as now | 17:41 |

| alkafoo | Ocean66: it should be, I don't know if it has been _already_, but given that quoted statement, it exists _somewhere_ | 17:43 |
| alkafoo | might check packages.ubuntu.com for it | 17:43 |

| adi11 | ActionParsnip : this output from tty1. (-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)after some more output like this i give "exit" command and than it send me to some menu where i choose "startx". after that it beautifully uploads the GUI gnome, no unity. | 18:09 |

| h00k | nuclearworm: what does that mean? | 18:10 |
| h00k | pimp: what hardware is it? | 18:10 |
| sammy | alkafoo: to use the chromebook in a dualboot, the chromeos loader by default only loads google signed kernel images. to use ubuntu's kernel would mean disabling the ability to dual-boot. its possible, iirc | 18:11 |
| angel56 | pimp: I suspect it is more a driver/module issue. The modules for that wifi card have probably not yet implemented EU support | 18:11 |
| adi11 | ActionParsnip: how to find out what driver is nvidia using now that i am on GUI? | 18:11 |
| alkafoo | sammy: ...why are you dual booting | 18:11 |
| kilrae | so i got myself a new hard drive and i want to use the whole thing, i seem to have two choices: (1) partition table (MBR) with one partition, (2) unpartitioned, is there any reason to choose one over the other? | 18:11 |
| pimp | h00k: x-micro wlan card | 18:11 |
| alkafoo | adi11: jump through a million menu items, or run sudo lspci -k | less | 18:12 |
| burg | how can i give write permissions only to one user? | 18:12 |
| pimp | angel56: Not it isn't issue of hardware , but the channels above 11 are ilegal in US so are disabled by default on Ubuntu | 18:12 |
| angel56 | burg: make him owner of the file and only allow write by the owner | 18:13 |
| === faz is now known as faz|meeting | ||
| angel56 | pimp: that's what I said | 18:13 |
| sammy | alkafoo: its not my chromebook :) but thats a good question. because other than a lack of hard drive space, I didnt think there were any glaring issues. OH also because I believe some of the hardware, don't you have to boot into chromeos first, then restart (not power off) the machine, and then reboot into ubuntu so the hardware is initialized? I think the 3g modem might require such tomfoolery | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | adi11: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver | 18:13 |
| pimp | angel56: but why in windows XP works | 18:13 |
| sammy | alkafoo: but I could be wrong. | 18:13 |
| angel56 | pimp:I suspect you have european drivers for winxp | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | adi11: nouveau|nv = open driver nvidia=proprietary | 18:14 |
| adi11 | alkafoo : thanks. OMG ridiculous. how to type that vertical line on keyboard. | 18:14 |
| sammy | kilrae: Id use a parition table. makes it easier to make changes later, if you ever wanted to. | 18:14 |
| pimp | angel56: but i think there is an option to change that , they thought even for EU | 18:14 |
| sammy | kilrae: though I will admit I didnt know unpartitioned was an option | 18:14 |

| sulumar | i cant find any accurate info | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | SIFTU: very likely. I hate that thing, so annoying | 18:15 |

| in0cula | hi!, in my laptop with ubuntu 11.04 i put the brightness at the minimum, but still too shine for me, it there a way to decrease the brightness even more? thx | 18:15 |
| sammy | kilrae: I also would suggest looking into separating certain directories into their own partition, like /usr or /var or /home. its good practice in case something goes horribly wrong | 18:16 |
| SIFTU | adi11: also run the following "lspci|grep -i VGA" | 18:16 |
| alkafoo | in0cula: xgamma | 18:16 |
| angel56 | pimp: in the kernel source packages | 18:16 |
| kilrae | sammy, neither did i, just saw it today, i can't seem to find any information on it | 18:16 |
| alkafoo | in0cula: but you might like xcalib -i -a even more | 18:16 |
| SIFTU | adi11: and tell me how many lines there are | 18:16 |
| pimp | what the exact name of wifi modul ? | 18:16 |

| adi11 | thanks guys. my nvidia driver now running is "nouveau" | 18:16 |
| sammy | alkafoo: as I said, I think I need chromeos to be able to initialize the 3g modem, or Id lose that functionality completely in ubuntu. but I need to do more research. | 18:17 |
| alkafoo | adi11: that's the open source one | 18:17 |
| Aric | Does Ubuntu 11.04 run natively on ARM processors? (I want to put Ubuntu on an Asus Eee Pad, Transformer ... also curious about any information on driver compatibility with the Tegra 2 chipset, the proprietary keyboard dock on it etc and where I can get more details since some of my searches have been in vain | 18:17 |
| Psycho_Squid | the guide is not even also not for your hardware | 18:17 |
| alkafoo | sammy: that's incredibly unlikely | 18:17 |
| Psycho_Squid | not even for your hardware* | 18:17 |

| alkafoo | sammy: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices if you want to know for sure | 18:18 |
| D_Russ | hello | 18:19 |
| Psycho_Squid | #in0cula is your GPU from nVidia? | 18:19 |
| D_Russ | how is everyone | 18:19 |
| SIFTU | adi11: ok, and thats the only line | 18:19 |
| sammy | alkafoo: I know it was definitely that way six months ago, but it may have changed since. the cr-48 is quite weird with its hardware. sometimes if it falls asleep, you have to reboot the machine to get all your hardware functionality back, ie xbacklight starts to report that nothing installed supports backlight control. its odd. | 18:19 |
| alkafoo | sammy: but in all likelihood, as with everything else Google does, they took an open source driver and hardware known to work with it | 18:19 |
| sammy | alkafoo: and then tweaked it, like they do :P | 18:19 |
| alkafoo | sammy: that doesn't necessarily mean the drivers are not open source =P | 18:19 |
| h00k | sammy: you can probably see if there's a chromebook or chromeium os channel and talk with them about it | 18:19 |
| alkafoo | sammy: Google may have even _added_ the bugs | 18:19 |
| alkafoo | like they do | 18:20 |
| dr_willis | 'extra undocumented features' :) | 18:20 |
| sammy | h00k: good call. im sure there is. my original question was about finding older versions of libc headers. but there's no such repository of old packages lying about, right? | 18:20 |
| alkafoo | there usually is | 18:20 |
| angel56 | pimp: if you really need that channel, you might blacklist the wifi module you are using, install ndiswrapper, and try using the winxp driver you say works | 18:20 |
| alkafoo | seems like a waste of time, though, for dual booting two Linux distros | 18:21 |
| fireprint | doh.. totally forgot my nickreg pwd.. | 18:21 |
| adi11 | SIFTU : yes. only one | 18:21 |
| alkafoo | fireprint: did you forget your nickreg email? | 18:21 |
| fireprint | nope | 18:21 |
| SIFTU | adi11: ok, well then thats good | 18:21 |
| alkafoo | then you're good =P | 18:21 |
| Psycho_Squid | #pimp either hack the ROM for your Wi-Fi card to force EU-region or try to find another driver. as you say it works with Windows XP. so the channels is not disabled by hardware. well, maybe the driver can unlock but not sure in your case | 18:21 |
| sammy | alkafoo: all I remember is that using the 3g modem in anything other than chromeos required booting into chromeos, initializing the modem, and then rebooting the machine. as i said, I'm hoping this has changed since, but I stopped looking into it. if I can find an older version of linux-libc-dev I can push it back to my current kernel version, along with the headers for module building, which are also a few versions too new. | 18:21 |

| MTPrower | io: ...look, I've read tons of pages. It's all a bunch of mess to me. Some people don't learn how things work through the same kind of teaching media as others | 18:57 |
| sunice | vikram: wouldn't have the enviroment variables to run it. It's for choosing and booting the OS. | 18:57 |
| vikram | or at least wallpaper ... ? | 18:57 |
| io | MTPrower: you're asking about requirements; those are the requirements. it couldn't be any simpler | 18:57 |
| tarek_ | okay ... it's just that I messed around with everything, executed a whole lot of stuff I found in forums and tutorials etc. and now some things are worse than before (for example my speakers won't mute if I plug in my headphones) | 18:57 |
| tarek_ | so. I now have purge. What do I do to "reset" all my audio stuff? (sry, I really not that experienced with this ^^) | 18:58 |
| D_Russ | anyone know anything about resolving some keyboard andmouse issues in natty? | 18:58 |
| Chotaz | ActionParsnip: im currently on liveCD can you help me from here, I never dealt with grub. | 18:58 |
| MTPrower | io: I never once asked for hardware requirements here. I said I was having problems with installation. I definitely meet hardware requirements | 18:58 |
| mbeierl | why oh why... I cannot launch libre office anymore because it hangs compiz with 100% cpu usage as the startup banner reaches about 50% loaded... restarting compiz gets me out of it, but I cannot find the libre office window anywhere... even though the soffice.bin process is still there | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Chotaz: there are guides all over the web for it | 18:59 |
| sunice | MTPrower: during the install process ubuntu ask you where you wish to install. It then uses gparted to resize each partition according to what you choose. As long as you do not oversize the one you are installing ubuntu on you are golden. | 18:59 |
| alkafoo | D_Russ: issues? | 18:59 |
| io | MTPrower: you asked about requirements before booting the live CD | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: does it affect all users? | 18:59 |
| MTPrower | io: I asked about what I should do, not about what I need | 18:59 |
| sunice | mbeierl: have you killed the process? | 18:59 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: ? I'm the only user on this system. | 18:59 |
| MTPrower | io: sorry if I miscommunicated | 18:59 |
| sec | hi | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: make a new user to test then... | 18:59 |
| mbeierl | sunice: yes, I killed it. The soffice.bin that is | 19:00 |

| Chotaz | ActionParsnip: im not an expert with ubuntu or linux at all, I thought live help would get things done faster, but i-ll search around :) you said I need to reinstate grub? | 19:00 |
| sunice | mbeierl: then on re-launching it hung again. | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Chotaz: nobody is born one either | 19:00 |
| MTPrower | ohwait, one more question that I asked but was not responded to yet: I have a USB stick with Kubuntu on it. How do I activate the installer? Can I just reboot my compy with the flash drive in it, or do I have to do something else? | 19:01 |
| bil21al | i m login from empathy in the freenode account but iit is asking a password my nick is reg but i dont remember the password so how can i et that password/.?? | 19:01 |
| Chotaz | ActionParsnip: got me there, I might have found something useful, I gonna try this and will be back later with a report | 19:01 |

| mbeierl | sunice: it's not soffice that hangs, it's that when it displays the start up banner, it causes compiz to hang with 100% cpu usage | 19:03 |

| Psycho_Squid | pikapika: everything is possible but it takes some effort :) | 19:12 |
| Xeneth | alkafoo: sorry, I'm working. I did that and it works, but it get's undone when it upgrades. Looking for something that will not change. | 19:12 |

| hellslinger | hello! does anyone know why grub isn't accepting my default option? | 19:56 |
| hellslinger | I've set /etc/default/grub to have my windows partition as my default, have run update-grub, but the default still appears to be the first thing in the grub list at boot | 19:56 |
| tonywade | hi | 19:57 |
| llutz | hellslinger: "default" doesn't change the order, it just places the cursor on the default-entry | 19:59 |
| tonywade | does anyone know how to install the latest assault cube from the website | 19:59 |
| hellslinger | llutz, unfortunately, it isn't even doing that for me | 19:59 |
| eduardoo | I've installed natty with homedir encrypted. It used to work for a week. No I cannot log in using gdm. I can log in into console. It's really sad... | 19:59 |
| jlstew | jpvoip: you from portugal? looks like that model comes prepackaged with Windows 7...you might verify that the bluetooth and wifi are functioning properly there first. | 20:00 |
| hellslinger | on launchpad, someone suggest a hack to change the os-prober in /etc/grub.d/ to a higher precedence | 20:00 |
| hellslinger | by changing it's name | 20:00 |
| robinbowes | Is there any particular reason visudo defaults to using nano as its editor? | 20:00 |
| eduardoo | I addem myself to nopasswdlogin group to overcome it. | 20:00 |
| llutz | hellslinger: yes, rename it to 08 or somewhat < linux-entries | 20:00 |
| hellslinger | llutz: I guess that'll work, I wish I didn't have to use a hack to make it work... oh well | 20:01 |
| eduardoo | Anybody can help me to debug this mess? I've seen some interesting things in /var/log/gdm | 20:01 |
| hellslinger | llutz, thanks | 20:01 |
| llutz | hellslinger: it'ss work since it finds your windows before it even checks for other (linux) OS | 20:02 |
| hellslinger | llutz, it's too bad GRUB_DEFAULT doesn't work | 20:03 |
| tarek_ | hi there. I messend around with alsa and pulse audio, now my speakers won't mute when I plug in headphones and I lost my volume control applet. : ( — and advice? | 20:03 |

| eypal | Sorrya again for asking but in case here is somebody from Canonical Ltd please could you send a private message for me. I do have something business stuff in my mind, a kind of checking up one thing on your website. Have been trying to email you but haven't gotten reply. Thank you so much. | 20:09 |

| magn3ts | BarkingFish, not sure, they 404'd four times in a row and then finally went through :S | 20:10 |
| magn3ts | might have been a hickup on the local network or somethign | 20:10 |
| BarkingFish | possibly your network connection might've been a bit slow and they timed out, magn3ts | 20:10 |

| jiltdil | I am recording video by desktop recorder but after recording it also gives some small noise how to fix this? | 20:11 |
| yeats | jiltdil: what kind of noise? a low hum? | 20:12 |
| jiltdil | yeats:yes | 20:12 |
| yeats | jiltdil: it probably means your computer is not properly grounded | 20:13 |
| jiltdil | yeats: means you are talking about electricity earhing | 20:13 |
| kumi | a | 20:13 |
| jiltdil | yeats:Any suggestion for me to do it better | 20:14 |
| yeats | jiltdil: you'll need to investigate your power setup (which is outside of #ubuntu support, unfortunately :-/ ) | 20:14 |
| jiltdil | yeats: ok thanks | 20:14 |
| BarkingFish | jiltdil, you can check this, if you unplug your speakers from your speaker socket and touch the tip of the plug on any metal part of your case, do you hear a hum or buzz from your speakers? | 20:14 |
| BarkingFish | if so, you need to switch off your PC and speak to a technician about getting your case, board and equipment correctly grounded. | 20:15 |
| jiltdil | Barkingfish:yes | 20:15 |
| BarkingFish | I've had an earth leak in a PC previously, and it failed to fire my circuit breakers downstairs. I wound up with a PC fire. | 20:16 |
| abbec | i have totally wrong date from php | 20:16 |
| jiltdil | barkingFish: hm this is right my house don't have earthing yet | 20:16 |

| Jargonn | Like, what burning program should I use? | 20:28 |
| iceroot | Jargonn: brasero (installed by default), k3b | 20:29 |

| Odaym | is it possible to to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to Kubuntu 10.10 if I have the latter's CD? | 20:35 |
| Gentoo64 | i dont think so | 20:36 |
| Odaym | I don't either | 20:36 |
| Praet0rian | Odaym, yes | 20:36 |
| Odaym | it is? how? | 20:36 |
| Odaym | wait a minute | 20:36 |
| Praet0rian | Odaym, its not that difficut | 20:36 |
| Odaym | but needs 2 hours of hacking around | 20:36 |
| Odaym | ? | 20:36 |
| iceroot | Odaym: upgrade to 10.10 ubuntu and then install kubuntu-desktop | 20:36 |
| Odaym | I dont want 10.10 with Unity | 20:37 |
| Odaym | 10.10 doesn't have unity | 20:37 |
| iceroot | Odaym: 10.10 has gnome2 | 20:37 |
| Odaym | yea | 20:37 |
| Praet0rian | Odaym, not, you simply keep your root systems and mount new ones | 20:37 |
| iceroot | Odaym: 11.10 is the first release without gnome | 20:37 |
| Praet0rian | 10.10 has unity | 20:37 |
| Gentoo64 | id reinstall tbh | 20:37 |
| iceroot | Odaym: without gnome2 | 20:37 |
| Odaym | when I go to the update manager, I only get the option to upgrade to 11.04 | 20:37 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: and gnome2 | 20:37 |

| Omni_Lynk | Anyone know a good program that can setup an ISO to a USB Thumb/Pen Drive? Every version i've found so far wants me to go w/ a CD instead of the Thumbdrive i have. | 20:38 |
| iceroot | !usb | Omni_Lynk | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Omni_Lynk: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 20:38 |
| KM0201 | Omni_Lynk: for windows? | 20:38 |
| Praet0rian | iceroot, irrelevnat, gnome can be installed ad an alternate WM | 20:38 |
| Omni_Lynk | KM0201, For VMware | 20:38 |
| igor_ | unetbootin install on usb | 20:38 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: what? | 20:38 |
| xhazk | hi | 20:38 |
| KM0201 | have no idea about vmware | 20:38 |
| Praet0rian | iceroot> Praet0rian: and gnome2 | 20:38 |
| Praet0rian | you asked | 20:39 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: gnome2 is installed by default on every ubuntu-system until 11.04 | 20:39 |
| * Praet0rian is VMware expert | 20:39 | |
| Praet0rian | ask away about VMware | 20:39 |
| Omni_Lynk | KM0201, I have the ISO, just need a program that will burn it to my Thumbdrive. | 20:39 |
| KM0201 | Omni_Lynk: why do you need a usb (or CD for that mater) for vmware.. just boot directly from the ISO. | 20:39 |
| Praet0rian | iceroot, not if specified otehrwise | 20:39 |
| Praet0rian | installer will not if asked | 20:39 |
| llutz | Omni_Lynk: hybrid-iso? use dd. if no hybrid, use unetbootin | 20:39 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: you know what "by default" means? | 20:39 |
| Praet0rian | do you iceroot | 20:39 |
| Praet0rian | default means its compiled | 20:40 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: what? | 20:40 |
| Praet0rian | you have the option NOT to | 20:40 |
| Praet0rian | rtm | 20:40 |
| Praet0rian | ;-) | 20:40 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: i dont think you get the topic of the discussion | 20:40 |
| Omni_Lynk | KM0201, how do you boot directly from the ISO? | 20:40 |
| KM0201 | Omni_Lynk: it's an option under the settings. | 20:41 |
| KM0201 | i know its there, but i don't use vmware so not 100% sure | 20:41 |
| KM0201 | but its there. | 20:41 |
| Praet0rian | iceroot, I been using just about every flavour of Linux ever distributed, I think I know my nix but thanks for your concern | 20:41 |
| Omni_Lynk | KM0201, i have not installed it yet. it is going on a clean hard drive.. | 20:41 |
| KM0201 | Omni_Lynk: i thought you said you were using vmware | 20:41 |
| iceroot | Odaym: back to topic, you canm use gnome2 with 10.10 | 20:42 |
| Gentoo64 | Omni_Lynk, is it just for booting an os? | 20:42 |
| iceroot | !classic | Odaym | 20:42 |
| ubottu | Odaym: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 20:42 |
| Odaym | I know I can | 20:42 |
| Omni_Lynk | KM0201, i will be, i've downloaded the ISO, but cannot get it to start up on my thumb drive. | 20:42 |
| Odaym | but it breaks, just like Unity | 20:42 |
| iceroot | Odaym: why? | 20:42 |
| Polah | Praet0rian, it is completely unnecessary for you to take that attitude here. | 20:42 |
| Gentoo64 | Omni_Lynk, for virtualbox / vmware just choose the iso.. | 20:42 |
| Odaym | I don't know why it keeps breaking | 20:42 |
| KM0201 | Omni_Lynk: why are you tryig to start it on a USB< if you want to install it in vmware?.. all you have to do is boot the ISO in vmware.. thats my point. | 20:42 |
| Praet0rian | Polah, no attitude | 20:43 |
| Praet0rian | just hleping | 20:43 |
| D_Russ | anyone good with mouse issues? | 20:43 |
| Odaym | not my first run at Ubuntu, I ran away and came back | 20:43 |
| Odaym | :P | 20:43 |
| D_Russ | keyboard and mouse | 20:43 |
| Praet0rian | if I seem brass forgive me | 20:43 |
| Odaym | ran away when Unity came around | 20:43 |
| Polah | Praet0rian, your last comment seems pretty close to "I'm better than you". | 20:43 |
| Omni_Lynk | KM0201, So i should just run the ISO in Ubuntu and install it into the clean Hard drive? | 20:43 |
| Praet0rian | not at all Polah | 20:43 |
| iceroot | Odaym: i would suggest to do the upgrade and if there are any issues fell free to get help here | 20:43 |
| Praet0rian | I am no better than anyone | 20:43 |
| KM0201 | Omni_Lynk: you're making no sense... i can't make heads or tails of what you're wanting to do. | 20:43 |
| Praet0rian | I just love linux ;-) | 20:43 |
| KM0201 | Omni_Lynk: vmware, installs to a virtual drive, not a hard drive. | 20:44 |
| Gentoo64 | i thin most people here like linux... lol | 20:44 |
| D_Russ | i love playing with all the free software | 20:44 |
| D_Russ | but i just wish things would work without issue | 20:44 |
| Gentoo64 | D_Russ, what mouse issues? | 20:44 |
| Odaym | that's not how life is | 20:44 |
| Odaym | so don't expect it to be that way with software :P | 20:44 |
| IdleOne | chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please. | 20:45 |
| Odaym | there are ALWAYS issues, and if you don't see the small ones, fear the bigger ones | 20:45 |
| D_Russ | whenGentoo64: mouse and keyboard dont work for 3-5 minutes on restart of natty | 20:45 |
| Omni_Lynk | KM0201, So VMware does not run first, you boot from the OS, then into VMWare? | 20:45 |
| Praet0rian | Was someone asking about VMWare earlier? | 20:45 |
| D_Russ | Gentoo64: mouse and keyboard dont work for 3-5 minutes on restart of natty | 20:45 |
| Gentoo64 | D_Russ, thats a hard one... | 20:45 |
| Gentoo64 | try dmesg when they start working | 20:45 |
| Gentoo64 | see if anything obvious comes up | 20:45 |
| KM0201 | Omni_Lynk: sorry.... i have no idea what you're asking, you're gonna have to ask questions that make sense, in order to get help | 20:46 |
| D_Russ | what is that | 20:46 |
| D_Russ | dmesg in the terminal? | 20:46 |
| Gentoo64 | D_Russ, just type dmesg in terminal | 20:46 |
| Gentoo64 | yes | 20:46 |
| Praet0rian | Easier way to view dmesg is in system settings, just a tip | 20:46 |
| D_Russ | ok let me try that now | 20:46 |
| Praet0rian | more readable | 20:46 |
| Omni_Lynk | KM0201, k then.. | 20:46 |
| Omni_Lynk | Anyone know of a program that will burn an ISO to a Thumbdrive instead of a CD/DVD | 20:47 |
| Gentoo64 | Omni_Lynk, unetbootin | 20:47 |
| llutz | Omni_Lynk: hybrid-iso? use dd. if no hybrid, use unetbootin | 20:47 |
| Gentoo64 | theres quite a few | 20:47 |
| D_Russ | where is it in system settings? | 20:47 |
| KM0201 | Omni_Lynk: unetbootin | 20:47 |
| Gentoo64 | D_Russ, idk about the system settings thing. just type dmesg in terminal | 20:47 |
| D_Russ | what am i looking for? | 20:49 |

| tonywade | can any 1 help me? | 20:58 |
| iceroot | tonywade: depending on your question | 20:58 |
| Polah | Mike33: You can use gpg --gen-key to generate a key pair, then I believe you need to output the public key to a file, but I don't know exactly how to configure the repository to use that key file for signing | 20:58 |
| Polah | tonywade: It's quite likely. | 20:58 |
| Tophan | hi | 20:58 |
| iceroot | Mike33: the packages are signed with a key, that key needs to get imported on client-side | 20:58 |
| iceroot | Mike33: the repo itself doesnt have a key, just the packages | 20:59 |
| D_Russ | what do i do after i have used the pastebin | 20:59 |
| warfaren | send that link to someone? | 20:59 |

| Polah | iceroot: Isn't the key information supplied by the repository? I recall when using add-apt-repository it pulls some signing information | 20:59 |
| warfaren | that's why you upload something to pastebin, right? | 20:59 |
| tonywade | i would like to download the new version of assultcube but it is not on the software centre what do i do? | 20:59 |
| Polah | iceroot: i.e. the packages are signed individually but the repository is configured to tell the client that all packages are signed with x key? | 21:00 |
| iceroot | Polah: the packages are signed with a key, the key can be stored in the repo or is part of a package (ubuntu-keyring e.g.) | 21:00 |
| iceroot | Polah: imo | 21:00 |
| tonywade | hello? | 21:00 |
| Tophan | I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and then gnome-shell | 21:01 |
| Tophan | can I change LightDM to start Gnome3 instead of Unity? | 21:01 |
| adwait_sharma | I'm planning to conduct a Ubuntu Party in my University | 21:01 |
| rww | Tophan: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric questions until it's released, please | 21:01 |
| adwait_sharma | can someone tell me how can i get swags for it? | 21:01 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: [ 31.600037] usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -110 this seems to be the issue for your mouse/keyboard-problems | 21:01 |
| rww | !notunity-#ubuntu+1 | Tophan: but anyway | 21:01 |
| ubottu | Tophan: but anyway: To use GNOME Shell on Oneiric, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place a new entry in the Sessions dropdown on the login window. | 21:01 |
| Praet0rian | anyone use BitchX? | 21:02 |
| D_Russ | iceroot:; so do i google that line | 21:02 |
| tonywade | i would like to download assualt cube what do i do? | 21:02 |
| Polah | tonywade: I see "AssaultCube" in the repos but no "AssultCube", is that perhaps what you're looking for? | 21:02 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: its no longer supported | 21:02 |
| tonywade | yes thats it | 21:02 |
| D_Russ | or is there a newbie dictionary for that error | 21:02 |
| Praet0rian | yea iceroot that stinks but I still use it | 21:02 |
| rww | !bitchx | Praet0rian | 21:02 |
| ubottu | Praet0rian: bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. | 21:02 |
| === faz|meeting is now known as faz | ||
| rww | i.e., we don't support it here :P | 21:03 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: does other usb hardware is also not available during that time of 3-5 minutes? | 21:03 |
| Praet0rian | ubottu, yea, I noticed that a long time ago, just wanted to know if anyone uses it | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Praet0rian: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:03 |
| D_Russ | i have not tested anything else | 21:03 |
| ih20i | Where would I ask for help with LAMP? | 21:03 |
| Praet0rian | BAH! | 21:03 |
| D_Russ | only other item is the printer | 21:03 |
| Praet0rian | lol | 21:03 |
| rww | ih20i: here or #ubuntu-server | 21:03 |
| iceroot | ih20i: depending on the question | 21:03 |
| Polah | ih20i: Here for Ubuntu, or #httpd, #php, #mysql for each part. | 21:03 |
| IdleOne | Praet0rian: keep to support in this channel if you are in the mood for chatting you are welcome to join #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:04 |
| tonywade | how do u download the new edition of assaultcube? | 21:04 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: only thing else is the printer. it works but i have not tested during the period that my KB and mouse dont work | 21:04 |
| Polah | tonywade: sudo apt-get install assaultcube | 21:04 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: how often does it happen? | 21:04 |
| ih20i | I installed Apache2 before someone pointed me at lamp. Then I grabbed that. localhost works but myphpadmin doesn't. | 21:04 |
| Praet0rian | thanks for the tip IdleOne | 21:05 |
| toddnine | Hi guys. My ~/.xsession-errors.old was 1.2 T this morning. Is there any way to turn off the logging to this file? | 21:05 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: every restart without fail | 21:05 |
| ih20i | Guides online say to go to a directory that my computer doesn't have. Should I remove all apache and start over? =\ | 21:05 |
| Praet0rian | ih20i, I have a nice solution for you | 21:05 |
| iceroot | ih20i: phpmyadmin needs to be enabled with "a2enmod | 21:05 |
| Polah | ih20i: phpmyadmin you mean? Should be accessible through http://localhost/phpmyadmin if it's running | 21:05 |
| tonywade | ? sorry im a newbe to this so if you could say that in simpler english that would be great | 21:05 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: it works perfectly after that 3-5 minutes have passes | 21:05 |
| D_Russ | well almost perfectly | 21:05 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: so its only at the start? | 21:05 |
| Polah | ih20i: /var/www/phpmyadmin doesn't exist, but it should be there if you go through a browser | 21:05 |
| Praet0rian | iceroot, whay would you need that mod | 21:05 |
| ih20i | Ahhh | 21:05 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: yes | 21:06 |
| Polah | tonywade: Run the command: sudo apt-get install assaultcube in a terminal, type in your password and hit y when it prompts you for y/n | 21:06 |
| D_Russ | only on reboot | 21:06 |
| Praet0rian | I do not believe thats neccessary when you use tasksel install lamp-server | 21:06 |
| ih20i | That should get me there thanks. | 21:06 |
| === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy | ||
| Praet0rian | ih20i, just use tasksel | 21:06 |
| Praet0rian | wills et everything up fo ryou | 21:06 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: ih20i its not /var/www/phpmyadmin its handled with an apache alias which is controled with a2enmode (also see /etc/apache2/sites-available/) | 21:06 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: wrong nick | 21:06 |
| adwait_sharma | I'm planning to conduct a Ubuntu Party in my University | 21:06 |
| iceroot | Polah: see above | 21:06 |
| adwait_sharma | can someone tell me how can i get swags for it? | 21:06 |
| Polah | iceroot: I've done apt-get install phpmyadmin and had it run without needing to then enable it with apache | 21:06 |
| Praet0rian | iceroot, I know, all you ahve to do is edit hosts file and create a virtual host | 21:07 |
| iceroot | Polah: hm on debian it needs to be enabled, maybe ubuntu is generating that symlink automaticly | 21:07 |
| Praet0rian | no need for any mod | 21:07 |
| sogeking99 | hey guys, i have the visual boy advanced emulator of the software centre, my rom runs with a frame rate thats to high and sound is speeded up | 21:07 |
| Polah | iceroot: It was Ubuntu 10.04 the last time I set it up and phpmyadmin ran after just installing through apt | 21:07 |
| Praet0rian | I have this config running as we speak | 21:07 |
| iceroot | Polah: but its not in /var/www its a apache-alias | 21:07 |
| adwait_sharma | ? | 21:08 |
| Praet0rian | /var/www is default virtual host btw | 21:08 |
| Polah | iceroot: I know there isn't any /var/www/phpmyadmin directory, I said it doesn't exist. But phpmyadmin is accessible through address/phpmyadmin | 21:08 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: again, you are missing the topic | 21:08 |
| Praet0rian | yea sorry | 21:08 |
| Praet0rian | used to chatting | 21:08 |
| Praet0rian | lol | 21:08 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: i have a kvm hooked up aswell but i get the same problem on restart even if i plugg the KB & mouse up directly, i even tried a restart with them plugged in directly and no luck | 21:08 |
| iceroot | Polah: correct | 21:08 |
| Polah | Praet0rian, edit hosts file? Apache sites are handled through the sites directory in /etc/apache2 | 21:09 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: does the mouse get power? or the keyboard? are the leds on? | 21:09 |
| Praet0rian | Polah, I was referring to creating you OWN host instead of using localhost | 21:09 |
| Praet0rian | much easier | 21:09 |
| iceroot | Praet0rian: virtualhost has nothing to do with localhost | 21:09 |
| Polah | Pret0rian: Using another domaine name instead of "localhost"? | 21:10 |
| Praet0rian | I know iceroot | 21:10 |
| Praet0rian | localhost is defined in hosts file definig your machine | 21:10 |
| Praet0rian | along with your host | 21:10 |
| Praet0rian | eg mine is singularity | 21:10 |
| melroy | I got a laptop with Nvidia optimus | 21:10 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: the mouse is wireless so yes the light is on but the keyboard is usb powered and no the numlock light does not come on nor does the caps lock light furing that period | 21:10 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: sounds like a hardware-issue for me | 21:11 |
| Praet0rian | Polah yes | 21:11 |
| Praet0rian | anohter domain name | 21:11 |
| Praet0rian | ANY one you want | 21:11 |
| Webonaute | anyone know the official chanel for OpenOffice? | 21:11 |
| Praet0rian | set it in hosts file in /etc than specify whatever domain you want | 21:11 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: sounds like the usb ports are disabled and get no power | 21:11 |
| melroy | is there any news about nvidia optimus? So are nvidia and Ubuntu implementing nvidia optimus gfx cards? | 21:11 |
| iceroot | Webonaute: #openoffice.org | 21:11 |
| iceroot | !alis | Webonaute | 21:11 |
| ubottu | Webonaute: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 21:11 |
| Praet0rian | then create a Virtual host for that namebased VH | 21:11 |
| Webonaute | ty | 21:12 |
| Praet0rian | that was to you polah | 21:12 |
| Praet0rian | I will be more than happy to walk you through in prvt | 21:12 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: as in KB & mouse? or as in motherboard? only thing is that ubuntu is on a partition, and when i run windows on the other partition i have no issues. so there must be a setting in ubuntu thats not sending the dignal fast enough | 21:12 |
| alphanobdy | hello | 21:12 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: ah ok interesting point with windows | 21:13 |
| Polah | Praet0rian: Sure, but that would only apply on the local computer would it not, thus just using http://localhost is fairly simple, without needing to set up another name. Other systems would still need to use the IP or a domain name provided by an actual DNS server. | 21:13 |
| alphanobdy | can anyone help me format a usb pen drive to fat 32 i only seem to have the optoin for fat and ext..... | 21:13 |
| alphanobdy | want to creat a bootable usb and says i need fat32 | 21:13 |
| mcmuffin | I have two monitors that work fine, but they are on the same workspace. I want to be able to switch to any workspace on any screen. Using Gnome 2.32.1, have an nvidia card with the nouveau driver | 21:13 |
| Praet0rian | yes Polah, but what happens sometimes is that services screw up with locahost, and yes for local development only | 21:13 |
| alphanobdy | and i use anyother? | 21:13 |
| Praet0rian | Polah and also yes you will need DNS for a public domain | 21:13 |
| Praet0rian | but still use Namebased virtual hsoting | 21:14 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: i cant find any usefull results in google for error -100, only for error -71 | 21:14 |
| Polah | Praet0rian: Never heard of services not being able to handle localhost, but for a private development server I don't see why you'd go through the effort of setting up a domain name rather than just typing localhost which is already there, or 127.0.0.1 which is fairly easy to remember | 21:14 |
| Polah | alphanobdy: What are you trying to boot from USB that requires FAT32? | 21:14 |
| Praet0rian | because polah, with localhost you are restricted to ONE directory of development | 21:15 |
| Praet0rian | polah say I want multiple versions of app testing | 21:15 |
| Praet0rian | polah, nice to have multitple points of testing | 21:15 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: thanks for looking i appreciate the help | 21:15 |
| Praet0rian | imho | 21:15 |
| iceroot | Polah: there is an application which handles 127.0.0.1 different then localhost (doesnt matter if there is 127.0.0.1 localhost in /etc/hosts) the application is mysql but for apache there is no difference | 21:15 |
| alphanobdy | Polah: BT5 but i read most any os will need to be on a fat32drive | 21:15 |
| Polah | Praet0rian: Oh, I see what you're saying now. Yes, I guess it would make sense to have multiple names pointing to multiple local sites. | 21:15 |
| Praet0rian | and alo if you are running an internal devel server, other users will need their own web directory | 21:15 |
| tonywade | polah i cant get it to work | 21:16 |
| Praet0rian | hence multiple personalized domains for internal devel Poloah | 21:16 |
| Praet0rian | Polah ** | 21:16 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: sorry that i cant help more | 21:16 |
| Praet0rian | Polah, that is the real power of Vhosting ;-) | 21:17 |
| Praet0rian | Proof of concept Polah is when running localhost, try to run Nessus, never work because you ahve to generate SSL cert | 21:17 |
| atari2600a | hey | 21:17 |
| atari2600a | what's up with the ocelot wallpapers? | 21:18 |
| tonywade | polah: i acnt get it to work | 21:18 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: no problem thanks for attempting. if i lick this problem i will be sure to post it in the forums. Funnything is that it worked good when i first installed natty with wubi, then it started acting up in wubi, so i did a partition install and same problem. | 21:18 |
| Polah | alphanobdy: I assume you mean BackTrack 5? That's unsupported here, you could use any filesystem really. I believe FAT is recommended because it's non-journaling (I could be wrong) and widely supported by multiple OSes (Windows only supports NTFS and FAT natively, so anything like extX wouldn't be readable by default for example) | 21:18 |
| Polah | tonywade: What do you mean you can't get it to work? | 21:18 |
| alphanobdy | ty Polah | 21:19 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: sounds good with the forum | 21:19 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: and the current system is a real installation on hardware? | 21:19 |
| sogeking99 | hey guys, i have the visual boy advanced emulator of the software centre, my rom runs with a frame rate thats to high and sound is speeded up | 21:19 |
| D_Russ | yes | 21:19 |
| D_Russ | partition install | 21:19 |
| tonywade | i ran the command but it anly shows up a load of gibberish | 21:19 |
| NeedSomeHelp | hello | 21:20 |
| D_Russ | iceroot: yes its currently a full install on a 100gb partition | 21:20 |
| Praet0rian | Hi NeedSomeHelp | 21:20 |
| tensorpudding | sogeking99: this isn't really a place for help with that | 21:20 |
| tensorpudding | sogeking99: maybe check the forums or discussion page for that app | 21:20 |
| Polah | tonywade: That's apt reading packages and such like. The last line should be a prompt asking for confirmation to install as "y/n", enter y and it'll install | 21:20 |

| NeedSomeHelp | I have installed Wine and a windows-program in ubuntu, and it works fine. But how can I run two instances of that windows-program? If I try to open a new instance of the win-app with wine, it just takes me to instance 1. | 21:21 |
| Praet0rian | NeedSomeHelp, multiple installes of Wine | 21:21 |
| Polah | triunenature, 95/100, A* | 21:21 |
| iceroot | D_Russ: ok | 21:21 |
| NeedSomeHelp | Praet0rian: how do i install another copy of Wine with synaptic ? | 21:21 |
| iceroot | NeedSomeHelp: depending on the windows-program if it allows two instances | 21:22 |
| Praet0rian | NeedSomeHelp, you dont use synaptic, you use source | 21:22 |
| triunenature | Hey, when i plug in a ethernet cord into my laptop ( RJ-45 Cat53) My Nic doesn't light up at all. I know the cord works, because it works with my other computers, and I know my network is up, because... well im talking in IRC... | 21:22 |
| triunenature | cat5e* | 21:22 |
| Praet0rian | triunenature, no drivers | 21:22 |
| Praet0rian | maybe lighs just burn out | 21:22 |
| Gentoo64 | no drivers would mean it wouldnt work | 21:22 |
| NeedSomeHelp | iceroot: I think the win-program doesnt allow more than one instance (like many windows programs), but I want to bypass that somehow. | 21:22 |
| Praet0rian | Gentoo64, yea I caught that | 21:23 |
| Praet0rian | did think he was using it | 21:23 |
| NeedSomeHelp | Praet0rian: please explain in more details :) | 21:23 |
| Praet0rian | didnt* | 21:23 |
| iceroot | NeedSomeHelp: wine is not the problem, it can start more then one copy | 21:23 |
| Gentoo64 | NeedSomeHelp, you cant install wine twice | 21:23 |
| triunenature | Might i ask the obvious, how does one install drivers on ubuntu? Second, i doubt its just the lights because nothing works when i plug it in. wifi works great though | 21:23 |
| rodriesp | hi, excuse me, when will the Beta 2 of 11.10 be released? | 21:23 |
| Gentoo64 | and that would be a stupid workaround | 21:23 |
| rodriesp | today? | 21:23 |
| Praet0rian | NeedSomeHelp, iceroot is correct, but I thought you wanted to run simultanious wine | 21:23 |
| Praet0rian | Gentoo64, of course you can | 21:24 |
| Praet0rian | want to see me do it in a video | 21:24 |
| Gentoo64 | in different dirs | 21:24 |
| === incubus is now known as Guest9368 | ||
| NeedSomeHelp | I want to run simultanious two instances of the same windows-program that i'm running through wine | 21:24 |

| Gentoo64 | trying to troll or something? | 21:25 |
| rodriesp | oh, thanks triunenature, going there | 21:25 |
| Praet0rian | NeedSomeHelp, and easy way to run apps wine twice would be to type wine (app) from the command line | 21:26 |
| Praet0rian | this shoudl create a seperate process | 21:26 |
| NeedSomeHelp | Praet0rian: tried, no luck | 21:26 |
| Gentoo64 | NeedSomeHelp, what app is it anyway? | 21:27 |
| Praet0rian | NeedSomeHelp, just open terminal and goto your windows wine folder, find the notepad exe and type wine notepad | 21:27 |
| IdleOne | NeedSomeHelp: maybe ask in #winehq | 21:27 |
| Praet0rian | if you want to run notepad that it | 21:27 |

| Gentoo64 | LmAt, did it have the bar on the side? | 21:31 |
| dashavoo | Praet0rian: I can't see the bit about ports on there, any hints about where in the page? | 21:31 |
| LmAt | Gentoo64, Yes, I have the bar on the side. | 21:31 |
| Gentoo64 | unity then | 21:31 |
| LmAt | Gentoo64, I did something to make the bar show up, and I want it to go away. | 21:31 |
| Gentoo64 | LmAt, at login choose classic | 21:31 |
| Gentoo64 | from a dropdown box | 21:31 |

| LmAt | Gentoo64, Jackpot! You can not know how excited I am! | 21:32 |
| Gentoo64 | cool | 21:33 |
| Praet0rian | Gentoo64, was he using unity | 21:33 |
| Gentoo64 | yes | 21:33 |
| Praet0rian | ahh | 21:33 |
| Praet0rian | just curious | 21:33 |
| Gentoo64 | why the hell are they even continuing development of unity if everyone hates it | 21:34 |
| dashavoo | Praet0rian: router | 21:34 |
| Praet0rian | Gentoo64, I like unity | 21:34 |
| dashavoo | well, router's firewall | 21:34 |

| Gentoo64 | i dont use unity | 21:34 |

| Praet0rian | dashavoo, have you tried DMZ on your router to see if you got things setup corretly to run? | 21:34 |
| r3pek | hey guys, what's the correct way to request a version bump to a package? | 21:34 |
| Gentoo64 | the majority of people just want it gone | 21:34 |
| Praet0rian | Gentoo64, I like the quick search | 21:34 |
| Polah | Gentoo64: Because not everyone hates it. Use whatever DE you want, you're not forced to use it. | 21:34 |
| dashavoo | Praet0rian: I was just thinking about doing that, I'll come back if I still need help ;), thanks | 21:35 |
| Praet0rian | np | 21:35 |
| Praet0rian | crap I should have told him about TCP view to see outgoing ports | 21:36 |
| dashavoo | Praet0rian: tell me now | 21:36 |
| Praet0rian | I forgot is wireshark shows ports or not | 21:36 |
| Praet0rian | hang on lemme check something | 21:36 |
| anth0ny | I'm having trouble scp'ing some files, I keep getting "scp: ambiguous target" even though I know the path is right. here's the command: scp -r /home/anthony/Music/Al\ Green tony@server.com:/My\ Music/ .

| Praet0rian | YES dashavoo | 21:37 |
| Praet0rian | get wireshark and run your stuff, it will tell you waht ports are attempting ot be used | 21:37 |
| dashavoo | Praet0rian: good idea, thanks | 21:37 |

| yeats | anth0ny: try rsync | 21:38 |
| Praet0rian | remember to run as sudo | 21:38 |
| dashavoo | Praet0rian: I know ;) | 21:38 |
| Praet0rian | ;-) | 21:38 |
| Gentoo64 | should be run as its own user tbh | 21:38 |
| Praet0rian | Gentoo64, is right but for quick stuff...well up to you | 21:38 |
| dashavoo | yeah, I can never be bothered | 21:39 |
| Praet0rian | dashavoo, give me root, lets test that theory | 21:39 |
| Praet0rian | heheh | 21:39 |
| anth0ny | yeats: yeah? i mean, this is well within the purpose of scp, why use rsync? | 21:39 |
| dashavoo | Praet0rian: haha, nah. Don't think I will ;) | 21:39 |
| * Praet0rian used rsync quite a bit | 21:39 | |
| Praet0rian | little not about rsync, IT DOES NOT maintain permissions | 21:40 |
| propman | anth0ny: have you tried putting quotes around the directory path. the spaces in the path you quoted above may be the cause of the problem | 21:40 |
| yeats | anth0ny: propman is right - the spaces in the dir names are probably the issue - rsync is my preferred way of doing what you're doing, but that's up to you | 21:41 |
| anth0ny | propman: Bingo! that did it, thanks! | 21:41 |
| anth0ny | yeats: I'll take a look at rsync, not familiar with it | 21:41 |
| Gentoo64 | lol the backslashes always get people | 21:42 |
| cdavis | Does the deja dup schedule require that I keep deja-dup running? | 21:42 |
| propman | anth0ny: good to hear :) | 21:42 |
| yeats | anth0ny: basic usage: 'rsync -av /sourcepath /destinationpath' | 21:42 |
| maujhsn | Can somebody please answer this question: Can a package from ubuntu 11.10 be downloaded and run in ubuntu 10.04? | 21:43 |
| jrib | maujhsn: sometimes, but you should never do so. Why do you want to know? | 21:43 |
| Praet0rian | maujhsn, I dont see why not | 21:43 |
| dashavoo | maujhsn: it might work, it might not | 21:43 |
| Polah | Praet0rian, there's a flag to keep permissions. | 21:43 |
| Praet0rian | Polah, SH** lol | 21:43 |
| Praet0rian | didnt know that | 21:43 |
| Polah | Praet0rian: --perms or -p I believe (: | 21:44 |
| Praet0rian | was syncing a solaris box | 21:44 |
| maujhsn | jrib i was given bad advice! | 21:44 |
| Praet0rian | omg thats awesome | 21:44 |
| jrib | maujhsn: ? | 21:44 |
| Polah | Praet0rian, also flags to keep owner and group | 21:44 |
| Praet0rian | cool Polah | 21:44 |
| Praet0rian | Polah, yea that would be correct cept sync with Solaris, not same users or perms | 21:44 |
| kylefox | I need to enable multiverse -- I know how to do it manually (editing /etc/apt/sources.list) but I'm wondering if there's a way I can automate it through a script | 21:46 |
| Praet0rian | kylefox, sure | 21:47 |
| Praet0rian | kylefox, easy shell script to echo your text to the sources list | 21:47 |
| maujhsn | Can somebody please answer this question: Can a package from ubuntu 11.10 be downloaded and run in ubuntu 10.04? If the repository is added to the sources list? | 21:47 |
| Praet0rian | maujhsn, they already answered that | 21:48 |
| kylefox | Praet0rian: oh ... I never thought of that | 21:48 |
| Praet0rian | ;-) | 21:48 |
| maujhsn | OK | 21:48 |
| kylefox | just `echo <source> >> file` | 21:48 |
| Praet0rian | kylefox, it depends what shell you're using | 21:48 |
| Praet0rian | bash? | 21:49 |
| Praet0rian | cash. zsh? | 21:49 |
| Praet0rian | csh* | 21:49 |
| Element9 | how can I minimize the Empathy to the indicator applet or anywhere in the panels? | 21:49 |
| Praet0rian | click X Element9 | 21:50 |
| Praet0rian | will not close it | 21:50 |
| Element9 | Praet0rian: oh, it closed it :) | 21:52 |
| Praet0rian | kylefox, to send text to a file simply do this: echo '<string>' >> <filename> | 21:52 |
| Praet0rian | Element9, sorry thought you were using Unity | 21:52 |
| Praet0rian | Unity will minimize | 21:52 |
| wm4eo | hi | 21:53 |
| Element9 | click on X on Contact List window of the Empathy will minimize it to indicator applet but not on window with chat rooms | 21:53 |
| Element9 | Any way to do it on 10.10? | 21:53 |
| wm4eo | can any body help me with voice problem in ubuntu? | 21:53 |
| Praet0rian | Element9, sry not sure on that one | 21:54 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, just ask your question | 21:54 |
| Element9 | Praet0rian: ok, no problem. thanks | 21:54 |
| wm4eo | the microphone is not working | 21:54 |
| Praet0rian | np | 21:54 |
| RnaGwaha | helllo anyone knows whats the brazilian ubuntu chan? | 21:54 |
| wm4eo | not in skype not in yahoo not in any ware | 21:55 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, open your sound settings and see what your input device is | 21:55 |
| triunenature | So i asked eariler, but if my NIC driver isn't working, how can i install/reinstall my NIC driver? | 21:55 |
| wm4eo | infact i am from windows now but i did and its not changing | 21:56 |
| Praet0rian | triunenature, how do you know your driver isnt working | 21:56 |
| triunenature | I don't for sure. What I do know it, that the lights on my NIC don't light up when i plug in my cable, and i know my cable is good | 21:56 |
| triunenature | RJ-45 Cat5e | 21:57 |
| wm4eo | i've put external microphone and no one worked | 21:57 |
| ikonia | triunenature: the lights would come on even without a driver, or OS | 21:57 |
| ikonia | triunenature: if the lights are not coming on it's either a.) hardware issue b.) hardware issue at the other end c.) cable | 21:57 |
| Polah | !br | RnaGwaha | 21:57 |
| ubottu | RnaGwaha: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 21:57 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, try other things | 21:58 |
| wm4eo | like what? | 21:58 |
| triunenature | well, since when i plug the same cable into other computers, it lights up, I can assume both b and c are void | 21:58 |
| triunenature | That leaves me with hardware issue... | 21:58 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, there are no other options in the dropdown? | 21:58 |
| Praet0rian | to tell you the truth I still dont have a working MIC on my old Toshiba, but My alienware M17x works fine | 21:59 |
| wm4eo | i tryed every one nothing changed i even format my labtop and reinstel it and its not working | 22:00 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, have you tried the MIC port | 22:00 |
| wm4eo | yep | 22:00 |
| Hobart | What channel would be appropriate for issues seen when testing out Oneric on MacTel hw ? (liveCD hangs) | 22:00 |
| triunenature | ikonia, any idea on how to confirm hardware issues? | 22:00 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, you have no internal MIC? | 22:00 |
| rww | Hobart: #ubuntu+1 | 22:00 |
| Hobart | rww -> thx | 22:00 |
| Terabyte | what's wrong with this upstart script pair? http://pastebin.com/eJDHK1a1 | 22:00 |
| wm4eo | i have one and i use it every day in my windows 7 | 22:00 |
| Terabyte | memcached script won't autostart | 22:00 |
| ikonia | triunenature: well, is ubuntu the only OS on this machine ? | 22:01 |
| soulfulstrut | hello | 22:01 |
| triunenature | Yeppers | 22:01 |
| ikonia | triunenature: does lights light up on the other end (switch ?) | 22:01 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, heres the thing, if you only have the INTErNAL selection in your sound settings, it would assume you are using that and not external | 22:01 |
| ikonia | triunenature: do you have any other machines around ? | 22:01 |
| triunenature | I have about 30 machines around, im in an office ;) | 22:02 |
| Praet0rian | can you listen to audio via headphones wm4eo | 22:02 |
| sysRPL | hello | 22:02 |
| ikonia | triunenature: grab one and patch into that same port with that same cable, do the lights come on ? | 22:02 |
| datastream_ | ohi | 22:02 |
| ikonia | triunenature: is that a big deal to test ? | 22:02 |
| wm4eo | no i cant listen from the headphones | 22:02 |
| triunenature | However I don't know where the telecom closet is, and i wouldn't have access to the switch. | 22:02 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, then the sound card is not working properly | 22:02 |
| triunenature | Yes, when i plug the same cable into any of the other computers, the lights come up | 22:02 |
| ikonia | triunenature: hardware problem | 22:03 |
| otak | /goto home | 22:03 |
| ikonia | triunenature: lights = dumb, just a cable terminated at both ends, no OS, no anything, | 22:03 |
| wm4eo | but the sound out from the laptob speakers and i can hear it its just from the headphone i cant | 22:03 |
| ikonia | triunenature: if other computers are working, and this one computer isn't even getting any lights, I'd put a lot of money on a hardware issue | 22:03 |
| wm4eo | but any way how can i instel it? | 22:03 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, the sound card handles your external ports also | 22:04 |
| Terabyte | what's wrong with this upstart script pair? http://pastebin.com/eJDHK1a1 the memcached one doesn't start after the ufw one | 22:04 |
| wm4eo | how can i find a driver for it? | 22:04 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, get your sound card model and check manufactuer or search google for same issue | 22:04 |
| triunenature | ikonia: really... see i suspected the same, i just don't want my poor computer to be dying..... Is there any software test to confirm what we both know/suspect? | 22:04 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, have to know your hardware if you're using linux just a tip | 22:04 |
| ikonia | triunenature: you've pretty much just confirmed it | 22:04 |
| triunenature | :( | 22:05 |
| wm4eo | do u have any spicific website for that? | 22:05 |
| sysRPL | can someone please offer me some advice? i bought a new wireless router to upgrade from G to N but my ubuntu computer wireless only went from 54 MB/s to 65 MB/s ... not the performance increase i was expecting .... i've googled this problem and am exhausted ... what settings/software updates can i try to improve my MB/s rating? | 22:05 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, I do not know your manufacturer I cannot in any way know a web site for you | 22:05 |
| triunenature | ikonia: I'd perfer a program that outputs, "Yep your Network Interface Card is broken" | 22:06 |
| Praet0rian | search your laptop model | 22:06 |
| Praet0rian | this iwll give you harware spec | 22:06 |
| ikonia | triunenature: that's not going to happen | 22:06 |
| wm4eo | its realtak one second and i'll give u the model | 22:06 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, is your card an N card? | 22:06 |
| Praet0rian | or still G | 22:06 |
| triunenature | ikonia: Yea life never has been that simple. Ironically enough, wifi still works without a hitch on the machine | 22:06 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, I am not going to do your research for you LoL, I am simply pointing you in the right direction | 22:07 |
| yacc | Any one here has experience with SATA? http://pastebin.com/LGASzQbv My Ubuntu (10.04LTS) seems to force the SSD down into SATA1 1.5Gbps mode. | 22:07 |
| sysRPL | Praet0rian: Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n | 22:07 |
| Praet0rian | yacc, sry have solid state here | 22:07 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, does your router have the 100MBs burts setting? | 22:08 |

| wm4eo | sorry bro i thought u know a good web to get a drivers for linux will thank u and i have another problem if u r ok with it | 22:08 |
| sysRPL | Praet0rian: it's a linksys E2000 | 22:08 |
| sysRPL | Praet0rian: i'm not sure, let me see | 22:08 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, look at doc | 22:08 |
| wm4eo | i get the kget and its working with firefox | 22:08 |
| Praet0rian | or simply login and look | 22:08 |
| cntb | Look at windows 8 blocking dual boot concern http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/will-windows-8-block-users-from-dual-booting-linux-microsoft-wont-say/10772?tag=nl.e550 | 22:09 |
| sysRPL | Praet0rian: it has a frame burst radio button with enabled/disabled ... the value is set to enabled | 22:09 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, I have a testing solution for you | 22:09 |
| ikonia | cntb: why is that anything to do with this channel ? | 22:09 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, I can't believe I am going to suggest this but create a Virtual Machine with Windows XP | 22:09 |
| Polah | yacc: Are you sure your SSD is connected to a SATAII/I connector? | 22:10 |
| triunenature | cntb: Just as a word of advice, linux guys will always outsmart windows guys. So fear not | 22:10 |
| cntb | ikonia majority are dual booting | 22:10 |
| wm4eo | man did u get my question? | 22:10 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, test there | 22:10 |
| sysRPL | Praet0rian: ty ... btw i am on a windows computer right now | 22:10 |
| kasi_ | does anyone know a good grammar checker besides openoffice for linux? | 22:10 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, sorry didnt get it | 22:10 |
| ikonia | cntb: is anyone in this channel asking for help dual booting windows 8 with Linux ? | 22:10 |
| cntb | triunenature right | 22:10 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, XP? | 22:10 |
| sysRPL | Praet0rian: yes | 22:10 |
| cntb | ikonia ok | 22:10 |
| wm4eo | i have the kget and its not working with firefox | 22:10 |
| ikonia | cntb: thank you | 22:10 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, I do not use kget | 22:11 |
| cntb | are you asking me to apologize? I do | 22:11 |
| wm4eo | what is the best downloader ? | 22:11 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, do you have an alternate card? | 22:11 |
| Praet0rian | wm4eo, firefox has its own download manager | 22:11 |
| ikonia | cntb: no, I said thank you as in "thank you for understanding" | 22:11 |
| Praet0rian | works fine | 22:11 |
| cntb | Still it sounds a bit of concern and people should know to stick to dual boot with older versions that;s all | 22:11 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, wait a min, your on windows and asking in a Linux forum? LoL | 22:12 |
| wm4eo | i know but i need one like internet download maneger in windows do u have one like that? | 22:12 |
| sysRPL | Praet0rian: the ubuntu is a close nettop box i use for my entertainment center pc ... i have alternbate wireless USB sticks ... but they are all wireless G | 22:12 |
| Praet0rian | dual boot windows 8 will NOT work, already tested | 22:12 |
| cntb | i hope you accept my concern and will to share here | 22:12 |
| yacc | Polah, yeah, the connector was used before with the hdd that moved down the food chain to SATA connector num.2 on the MB, and then it did easily enough 3.0Gbps. The motherboard does 3.0Gbps with other 3 hdd connected to it just now. And the SSD is a SATA3 capable one, and the instruction leaflet does not mention any jumpers or so. | 22:12 |
| ikonia | cntb: 1.) it's not confirmed - so you're spreading rumour 2.) it's not released so no-one is using it at this time and things can change before release 3.) this channel is not about discusing future possabilities with windows, it's for current ubuntu support | 22:12 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, install virtual ubuntu into VMware | 22:12 |
| sysRPL | Praet0rian: i am on my windows computer because it's hard to read/type on the entertainment center computer (ubuntu) | 22:12 |
| cntb | ikonia Praet0rian says tested | 22:13 |
| Praet0rian | sysRPL, thats what SSH is for and text based IRC clients LoL | 22:13 |
| ikonia | cntb: that doesn't make it fact, please stop discussing it | 22:13 |
| Praet0rian | it is a fact | 22:13 |
| Praet0rian | want a video | 22:13 |
| Praet0rian | lol | 22:13 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: no - it's not | 22:13 |
| sysRPL | Praet0rian: i can putty into the computer | 22:13 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: no, I don't want a video | 22:13 |
| Praet0rian | how much you wanna bet | 22:13 |
| cntb | ok ikonia and why not prevent getting into trouble with our ubuntu install in the future? | 22:13 |
| soulfulstrut | can someone please tell me how to find the chat rooms | 22:13 |
| Polah | sysRPL: PuTTY is SSH | 22:13 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: do you own Microsoft Windows 8 final retail release ? | 22:13 |
| cntb | never mind | 22:14 |
| sysRPL | Polah: i know | 22:14 |
| wm4eo | what is the best download maneger in ubuntu 11.04? | 22:14 |
| Polah | yacc: If you're sure it's on a SATAII(I) connector, then it could be a firmware issue with the drive | 22:14 |
| Praet0rian | ikonia, I have the next build after devel provided by my MS partners | 22:14 |
| Polah | wm4eo: Most browsers have their own download manager. You can use wget from the command line to download files. | 22:14 |
| Polah | !best | wm4eo | 22:14 |
| ubottu | wm4eo: 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. | 22:14 |
| Praet0rian | there will only be one other build which is final | 22:14 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: do you own Microsoft Windows 8 final retail release ? | 22:14 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: do you own Microsoft Windows 8 final retail release ? | 22:14 |
| Praet0rian | ikonia, please listen | 22:14 |
| cntb | one more word and you will consider me a tr -oll and I dont wnat that .Have a nice day all | 22:14 |
| Praet0rian | I am trying to help | 22:14 |
| sysRPL | ikonia: windows 8 is not final, but you already knew that | 22:15 |
| Praet0rian | ikonia, I have the next to last build, the final build WILL NOT CHANGE the boot process | 22:15 |
| Praet0rian | case closed | 22:15 |
| wm4eo | k thank u guys | 22:15 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: no - you do not have the facts of the final retail release, microsoft have not confirmed them, so please stop spreading information that is not confiemd | 22:15 |
| Praet0rian | ikonia, I do have the facts | 22:15 |
| ikonia | sysRPL: exactly the point. | 22:15 |
| Praet0rian | ould you also like to speak to a MS developer | 22:15 |
| Praet0rian | I can arrange | 22:15 |
| sysRPL | not to get side tracked, but windows 8 looks to be full of fail ... and that is coming from a windows developer | 22:16 |
| bl4ckcomb | MS Dev rocks | 22:16 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: you do not have Microsoft Windows 8 final release, and Microsoft have not confirmed this limitation, so it's not fact, it's your view of a current development build that may/may not be fact. | 22:16 |
| === Mo is now known as Guest79074 | ||
| Praet0rian | ikonia, I will say this one more time, the final release of windows 8 will NOT in any way change its booting process | 22:16 |
| Praet0rian | we can see when its released | 22:16 |
| sysRPL | anyhow ... can anyone help me improve my wirless N receive rate? | 22:16 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: do you work for Microsoft ? | 22:16 |
| Praet0rian | good enough | 22:16 |
| Praet0rian | ? | 22:16 |
| Praet0rian | ikonia, yes | 22:17 |
| Praet0rian | I do | 22:17 |
| Praet0rian | do you | 22:17 |
| FloodBot1 | Praet0rian: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:17 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: it may well be the case when it's release, but until that time, it is not fact and it is not helpful to misslead people | 22:17 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: you don't work for microsoft, you just said you got it for a partner, please don't lie | 22:17 |
| Praet0rian | ikonia, I am giving you the best information based on the facts at hand | 22:17 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: the best information based on the current development build your using, that is not the final build, | 22:17 |
| Praet0rian | and as I said partner I meant my testers | 22:17 |
| sysRPL | you're | 22:17 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: yeah yeah. | 22:18 |
| Praet0rian | ikonia, ok lets do this | 22:18 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: I don't want/need to do anything. | 22:18 |
| Praet0rian | lets wait and see then we can discuss ok? | 22:18 |
| ikonia | Praet0rian: I don't want/need to discuss it | 22:18 |
| Praet0rian | apparently you do | 22:18 |
| Praet0rian | otherwise you ould have stopped tqalking | 22:18 |
| Praet0rian | ;-) | 22:18 |
| ikonia | you may be right, but at this time of writing, it is not fact, so please don't give out information. | 22:18 |
| J28y | oh, pick me, me, I wan't to discuss it too!! | 22:18 |
| bl4ckcomb | Praet0rian, weren't ms employees forbidden to use the name "windows 8", apart from balmer, who screwed up during some talk? | 22:18 |
| Praet0rian | fair enough | 22:18 |
| Praet0rian | bl4ckcomb, I am not aware of any such rule, but thats not to say it doesnt exist | 22:19 |
| Praet0rian | I use linux I hate windows | 22:19 |
| bl4ckcomb | I know, don't point out the obvious | 22:19 |
| Praet0rian | bl4ckcomb, no need to be rude | 22:19 |
| Praet0rian | just answering | 22:19 |
| bl4ckcomb | :p | 22:20 |
| yacc | Polah, so you are surely happy to know that I upgrade to the newest OCZ firmware just today? | 22:20 |
| bl4ckcomb | Praet0rian, what's your role in MS? | 22:20 |
| IdleOne | !windows | 22:20 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 22:20 |
| Polah | yacc: Well, that could be the issue then. Has the drive not functioned properly since the upgrade? | 22:20 |
| yacc | Polah, as you can see from paste, I've also tried to force it to 3.0Gbps, but it downgraded the connection itself. | 22:20 |
| bl4ckcomb | IdleOne, I'm discussing Praet0rian | 22:21 |
| Praet0rian | c++ developer and winAPI QA bl4 | 22:21 |
| bl4ckcomb | Praet0rian, c++ dev for the WinAPI ? | 22:21 |
| Praet0rian | no bl4ckcomb | 22:21 |
| bl4ckcomb | what part then or just general ? | 22:21 |
| Praet0rian | WinAPI QA | 22:22 |

| kylefox | Praet0rian: I'm back :) I seem to be having permission issues with that multiverse thing you suggested: http://dpaste.com/619247/ -- any ideas? | 22:33 |
| Praet0rian | let me look kylefox | 22:33 |
| Praet0rian | use single quotes kylefox | 22:34 |
| Praet0rian | kylefox, are you executing this as sh myScript? | 22:34 |
| kylefox | yes, exactly | 22:34 |
| kylefox | the single quotes = same issue | 22:35 |
| kasi_ | I get kernel crashes in ubuntu with autofs. Is this the right forum to report them? | 22:35 |
| Praet0rian | kylefox, do this, create an empty file in your home, then run it | 22:35 |
| Praet0rian | dont use sources yet | 22:35 |
| Meluha | My playonlinux never detects an internet connection....any leads? | 22:35 |
| Praet0rian | kylefox, also just a tip if you don't want to use "sh" to execute, put !#/bin/bash in the file | 22:36 |
| Praet0rian | kylefox, also would be wise to set that string as a variable then echo it to stdout to see if its correct | 22:37 |
| Polah | Praet0rian: Needs to be marked as executable as well. sh script.sh will run it even if it's not executable, script.sh on it's own requires it to be set to executable | 22:37 |
| Praet0rian | kylefox, Polah is correct too, I assumed you set +x | 22:37 |
| Polah | Praet0rian, kylefox: I'd recommend using sh script.sh anyway because then it's run by by sh and doesn't require it to be set as executable beforehand | 22:38 |
| kylefox | Yes, I did chmod +x | 22:39 |
| Praet0rian | luck? | 22:39 |

| rww | GreekFreak: If you read the whole page, it tells you. | 23:00 |
| Praet0rian | Meluha, then with vmware tools you simply drag it to the VM | 23:00 |
| GreekFreak | rww, thank you | 23:00 |

| GreekFreak | rww, I'm assuming that this is covered by including the repository. The sute I pasted, though, has some packages to install and I'm not sure which are needed | 23:03 |

| Praet0rian | Ibis, I would not think so | 23:31 |
| SIFTU | Ibis: it does work | 23:32 |
| Praet0rian | Ibis, I have never tried so I cannot account for that question | 23:32 |
| nocilis | yes, I know a guy that dual-boots linux and osx on a mac | 23:32 |
| MonkeyDust | anyone who has heard of and knows a solution for the kworker bug? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33640/kworker-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-hogging-so-much-cpu | 23:32 |
| Praet0rian | I would have thought the hardware was too different | 23:32 |
| Ibis | SIFTU: Oh cool. Does it seem to run any better? I heard mac hardwares are better than PC ones. | 23:33 |
| nocilis | praet0rian linux has been ported everwhere | 23:33 |
| jorge__ | hey I install ubuntu with windows 7 and it loads ubuntu but does not load windows | 23:33 |
| Praet0rian | nocilis, thats cool to know, I just would never buy a mac period | 23:33 |
| SIFTU | Ibis: it's no better, same parts.. some people like to think it's better build quality etc | 23:33 |
| nocilis | praet0rian me neither, too expensive for what you get | 23:33 |
| nocilis | jorge__ which did you install first? | 23:33 |
| jorge__ | can any body tell me what can i do | 23:34 |
| Ibis | And I thought I read something about mac hardware where it actually uses all harddrive/ram space. | 23:34 |
| Praet0rian | jorge__, you can boot windows from Grub | 23:34 |
| MonkeyDust | anyone who has heard of and knows a solution for the kworker bug? http://askubuntu.com/questions/33640/kworker-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-hogging-so-much-cpu | 23:34 |
| jorge__ | i do it but it does the same thing (praet0rian )} | 23:34 |
| jorge__ | i tell me and erro message | 23:34 |
| Praet0rian | jorge__, you must be sure that your windows partition is active and bootable | 23:34 |
| nocilis | jorge__ what sort of message? | 23:35 |
| jorge__ | and how do i make sure is active | 23:35 |
| Praet0rian | jorge__, have you installed linux before? | 23:35 |
| jorge__ | erro 0xc0000225 | 23:35 |
| guerrilha | my wireless connection keeps asking my password, how do i fix this so it only asks me the first time? | 23:36 |
| guerrilha | i mean, when i boot up the cpter i have to insert the passwrd again | 23:36 |
| guerrilha | but i stay connected | 23:36 |
| nocilis | jorge__ I just googled that and it looks like a very common problem | 23:36 |
| nocilis | jorge__ probably because bios is out of date? | 23:36 |
| Praet0rian | guerrilha, that happened to me once, I did never resolve that issue | 23:37 |
| nocilis | try checking for an APIC setting in the bios options jorge__ | 23:37 |
| guerrilha | its getting annoying | 23:37 |
| nocilis | jorge__ you have to enable APIC it looks like | 23:37 |
| SIFTU | guerrilha: do you autologin? | 23:37 |
| Praet0rian | guerrilha, I searched for days for a solution to that never did find it | 23:37 |
| Praet0rian | I just compiled irssi and I cannot find the damn binary for the life of me | 23:38 |
| Bash | Just wondering, is there a reason why Gnome is no longer the default wm? | 23:38 |
| nocilis | Praet0rian find piped to grep? | 23:38 |
| Praet0rian | yea I was going to do that but I figured someone would know off hand | 23:39 |
| nocilis | find | grep -e "irssi" | 23:39 |
| rww | Bash: GNOME is not a WM. GNOME with modifications is the default desktop environment for Ubuntu, and always has been. The difference you're probably talking about is that it now uses Unity as a shell instead of GNOME Panel or GNOME Shell. | 23:39 |
| xangua | Bash: unity runs on top of gnome | 23:39 |
| guerrilha | no SIFTU , this ubuntu has 3 users | 23:39 |
| Praet0rian | nocilis, actually find /dir -name file works | 23:39 |
| Meluha | Praet0rian: any leads? | 23:39 |
| SIFTU | guerrilha: I suspect something to do with the gnome keyring | 23:39 |
| nocilis | Praet0rian more elegant, I'll remember that thx | 23:39 |
| Praet0rian | np nocilis | 23:39 |
| Bash | rww: Right. Just wondered if there's any drawbacks to using gnome3 vs unity as it is the default one | 23:39 |
| rww | Bash: GNOME 3 isn't supported on current versions of Ubuntu ( <= 11.04). It should work fine on 11.10 when it comes out. | 23:40 |
| Praet0rian | Meluha, let me get irssi working here real quik | 23:40 |
| Bash | rww: Thanks. | 23:40 |
| Praet0rian | I could just make isntall it but I dont like to put apps in my bin | 23:40 |
| brightspark | rww: it ran fine for me on maverick... | 23:40 |
| * nocilis is using irssi to type this :) | 23:40 | |
| Praet0rian | nocilis, eat me lol | 23:41 |
| Chotaz | Hey everyone I'm using 'sudo update-rc.d ushare defaults' to make the ushare daemon start everytime I boot my computer, but I need ushare to run with some adicional params, how can I run update-rc.d and pass those params to the rule? | 23:41 |
| flodine | 11.10 so ugly | 23:41 |
| nocilis | Praet0rian why not just sudo apt-get install irssi? | 23:41 |
| MonkeyDust | irssi rules | 23:41 |
| Praet0rian | nocilis, repositories are always out of date | 23:41 |
| Anarchy7 | how can I open a port whats the command? | 23:41 |
| Praet0rian | latest build is src | 23:41 |
| nocilis | MonkeyDust I liked it once I figured out the alt-arrowkey command | 23:41 |
| rww | brightspark: Are you conflating GNOME 3 and GNOME Shell? | 23:41 |
| Ibis | nocilis & MonkeyDust: WeeChat is better. ;) | 23:41 |
| guerrilha | i found here that i can delete it from my .gnome folder, ill give a shot | 23:41 |
| nocilis | Ibis is it console-based? | 23:41 |
| Ibis | Yes. | 23:41 |
| Praet0rian | I ran Bitchx forever | 23:41 |
| Praet0rian | but someone on here convinced me to try irssi | 23:42 |
| Ibis | Lookies: http://www.weechat.org/screenshots/ | 23:42 |
| Ibis | I used to use irssi myself as well. | 23:42 |
| nocilis | Ibis looks a whole lot like irssi, anything to set it apart? | 23:42 |
| Praet0rian | HA | 23:42 |
| Praet0rian | there that little bugger is | 23:42 |
| Ibis | http://www.weechat.org/screenshots/weechat_2009-07-06_bonzodog.png | 23:43 |
| Praet0rian | /home/praetorian/Apps/irssi/src/fe-text/irssi for furure reference | 23:43 |
| SIFTU | nocilis: it has multiple languages supported for scripts and has easier config files etc | 23:43 |
| Ibis | How it handles user list, multi network is easier. | 23:43 |
| brightspark | rww: perhaps I am. you are probably correct | 23:43 |
| nocilis | Ibis SIFTU shows people in channel at top, I like | 23:43 |
| Ibis | nocilis: I didn't even know it can do that. It attracted my eyes. | 23:44 |
| Praet0rian | hahah I love it when apps tell you to RTFM when you first rin em | 23:44 |
| nocilis | RTFM? Praet0rian | 23:45 |
| Praet0rian | umm | 23:45 |
| Praet0rian | Read the fuc*** manual | 23:45 |
| Ibis | Read the *Explodes Ubuntu channel* :OOO | 23:45 |
| MonkeyDust | Praet0rian: if everything else fails, then RTFM | 23:45 |
| nocilis | Praet0rian lol hadn't heard that one | 23:45 |
| Praet0rian | wow | 23:45 |
| Ibis | Or it means: Read the Fine Manual. | 23:45 |
| gnomie | #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat | 23:45 |
| Praet0rian | I heard that alot hen I first started using linux 10 years ago | 23:45 |
| nocilis | Read the fruitcakin' manual | 23:45 |
| gnomie | also, this isn't i.m. | 23:46 |
| Ibis | Praet0rian: Same here, except I didn't use this 10years ago. (I was tiny o_O) | 23:46 |
| flodine | be nice ubuntu has nice users | 23:46 |
| Praet0rian | well Mr Praetorian is going to sign on with irssi WITHOUT READING THE MANUAL | 23:46 |
| flodine | LOL | 23:46 |
| elky | Lets not. | 23:46 |
| elky | Lets go back to actual support discussion. | 23:46 |
| nocilis | curious about the nick praet0rian | 23:47 |
| Praet0rian | nocilis, ask away | 23:47 |
| nocilis | why? | 23:47 |
| elky | Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:47 |
| Bash | If grub should fail because of wonky ATi gpu support, will it just sit there with a blinking cursor on a blank screen? | 23:48 |
| nocilis | that you Praet0rian? http://twitter.com/#!/praet0rian | 23:48 |
| Praet0rian | dont use twitter or cia facebook | 23:48 |
| Praet0rian | haha | 23:48 |
| elky | nocilis, he's in #ubuntu-offtopic which is where non-support chatter happens. Asking him about twitter is offtopic for this support channel | 23:48 |
| nocilis | elky ok | 23:48 |
| Praet0rian | man lol topic nazis | 23:48 |
| Praet0rian | I am over there nocilis | 23:49 |
| elky | Praet0rian, don't even go there. | 23:49 |
| Praet0rian | I didnt its a figment of your imagination | 23:49 |
| gnomie | he has, twice already | 23:49 |
| Praet0rian | its all good I go over there | 23:49 |
| nocilis | irssi automatically opens a seperate screen for msgs, does weechat do that Ibis? | 23:50 |
| Ibis | nocilis: Separate screen. Like a tab? | 23:51 |
| Bash | I guess that's the reason for a faulty grub since all I did was add xforcevesa | 23:51 |
| tabunet | Good evening everyone from Spain ;) | 23:51 |
| nocilis | Ibis, umm yes | 23:51 |
| nocilis | Ibis not sure what the official term is | 23:51 |
| Ibis | A new terminal screen, or same terminal screen? | 23:51 |
| Praet0rian | nocilis, its called windowing | 23:52 |
| === ross is now known as Guest67593 | ||
| Ibis | It would appear in the same terminal window, but as a different tab. Separate message screen (BUT in same terminal window). | 23:52 |
| === nedkelly is now known as nedkelly-away | ||
| Ibis | What I mean by tab is that /window <numberHere> thing. | 23:53 |
| nocilis | Ibis the same terminal screen... it's hard to explain | 23:53 |
| nocilis | Ibis you use ALT+arrowkey to move between them, but each one takes up the whole screen | 23:53 |
| Ibis | nocilis: Yes it does that. | 23:53 |
| MTPrower | Hey guys, all my attempts at dual-booting Kubuntu and my existing installation of Windows 7 are failing. Can somebody give me some very basic, step-by-step information? | 23:54 |
| nocilis | MTPrower the Kubuntu installer doesn't walk you through it? Where are you having problems? | 23:55 |
| MTPrower | Actually, ideally, I don't even want to use Windows 7. I just want to get Kubuntu working on my hard drive without losing my many gigs of files. I've been reading for the last two days and trying all sorts of stuff | 23:55 |
| MTPrower | nocilis: even a successful installation of Kubuntu won't boot for some reason... | 23:56 |
| sunice | MTPrower: before making any major changes backup your data. | 23:56 |
| nocilis | MTPrower I second what sunice just said | 23:56 |
| MTPrower | sunice: not possible for me | 23:56 |
| MTPrower | nocilis: I second what I just said | 23:56 |
| MTPrower | xD | 23:56 |
| smw | MTPrower, define not boot | 23:57 |
| MTPrower | nocilis: if I could just back up all my stuff, I could start from scratch and life would be easy. But I can't | 23:57 |
| sunice | MtProwers: what happens when you try to boot it? do you get grub? | 23:57 |
| nocilis | MTPrower Murphy's Law says you will definitely loose all of your files, it's happened to me | 23:57 |
| gnomie | MTPrower: reinstall grub | 23:57 |
| nocilis | *lose | 23:57 |
| MTPrower | smw: I don't have an option to boot Kubuntu at system startup. It just boots Windows | 23:57 |
| Loshki | MTPrower: if you can't backup your data, eventually you're going to lose it in a hardware failure of some kind.... | 23:57 |
| === rww is now known as tardis | ||
| smw | MTPrower, did you install grub to your boot sector? | 23:57 |
| MTPrower | gnomie: I don't have Grub and can't figure out how to use it. They don't give you any information on the official Grub website | 23:57 |
| === Ttech is now known as The_Doctor | ||
| sunice | MTProwers did you finish the install of kubuntu with grb? | 23:58 |
| gnomie | !grub | 23:58 |
| 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) | 23:58 |
| smw | MTPrower, did kubuntu ask if you wanted to install grub? Did you say no? | 23:58 |
| MTPrower | smw: no. I couldn't even figure out if I wanted it, due to so little information being given about it | 23:58 |
| nocilis | kbuntu should come with grub right? | 23:58 |
| MTPrower | smw: it did not ask | 23:58 |
| Praetorian0 | irssi not bad | 23:58 |
| sunice | MTProwers. you can install grub only from an ubuntu live cd. | 23:59 |
| MTPrower | So what is Grub and why do I want it, and if I get it, will I lose all my stuff on my Windows partition? | 23:59 |
| smw | nocilis, yes, but I thought it asks first. I don't use ubiquity. I like the debian installer better :-P. | 23:59 |
| MTPrower | sunice: I have Kubuntu on a flash drive | 23:59 |
| MTPrower | sunice: it never said anything about Grub | 23:59 |
| smw | MTPrower, Grub is the boot loader. It chooses which OS to boot. | 23:59 |
| sunice | MTProwers: try reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 23:59 |
