| computerx | I'm a fairly advanced bash scripter, I just forgot about the path environment, I'll call php with the full path and that should fix it, thanks jrib | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| wolfe213_ | pn: I swear I just saw libvte python in there when I was looking through emulators earlier | 00:00 |
| jrib | computerx: could be nohup as well | 00:00 |
| JasonGriffee | SIFTU: now line 4 has issue | 00:00 |
| jrib | computerx: if you have an mta, you should get mail from cron when it fails. If you don't want an mta and the script is still not running correctly, add a redirection to the end of your crontab line so you can view the output | 00:01 |
| wolfe213_ | pn: meh, nope.. guess not.. heh.. they got it for ruby not python. | 00:01 |
| computerx | jrib: Really? Won't it just log to wherever's necessary? Well, I'll just add signal handling to the PHP script if it still doesn't work. No biggie. | 00:01 |
| pn | yeah | 00:01 |
| pn | i have been up and down the synaptic | 00:01 |
| computerx | jrib: I removed the mta due to "other issues", so yeah, I'll add the redirect. Thanks again | 00:01 |
| wolfe213_ | pn: I'm a bit curious what you are planning with that.. | 00:02 |
| pn | i cant run terminal or terminator | 00:02 |
| petester | is there an easy way to have my computer automaticly update twitter with my public ip? | 00:02 |
| pn | some how python modelus calling the windows for that program | 00:02 |
| a111 | yes pestilent | 00:03 |
| a111 | curl -u yourusername:yourpassword -d status="Your Message Here" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml | 00:03 |
| computerx | jrib: I'm also using cd $(dirname $0) - could dirname not be in the path? | 00:03 |
| computerx | jrib: It's in the same location as php, so yeah, that'll break it too | 00:04 |
| wolfe213_ | pn: that sounds strange.. are you perhaps having your shell set to python instead of bash or dash? | 00:04 |
| wolfe213_ | heh | 00:04 |
| wolfe213_ | I mean even that wouldnt do it | 00:04 |
| pn | no its bash | 00:04 |
| wolfe213_ | I see no reason you need a python binding for libvte to get a terminal | 00:04 |
| jrib | computerx: you could just update PATH in your crontab | 00:04 |
| wolfe213_ | no part of the terminal in ubuntu, the shell, or anything in between involves python | 00:05 |
| computerx | jrib: That's just far too sensible ;) | 00:05 |
| pn | but i think terminal and terminator and also other GUI forms of calling the shell depends on that python modulous in libvte | 00:05 |
| wolfe213_ | the terminal points to gnome-terminal (standard ubuntu desktop) which is written in c using gtk3 and libvte but there is no python involved at all | 00:06 |
| wolfe213_ | terminator on the other hand is entirely written in python by the look of it | 00:07 |
| computerx | jrib: Can I make cron think it's on start without restarting, to test this? | 00:08 |
| wolfe213_ | and it depends on python-vte which voila is the python vte module | 00:08 |
| wolfe213_ | which explains why I didnt find it because I was looking for libvte | 00:08 |
| jrib | computerx: I'm not sure, you could try restarting cron and see | 00:08 |
| MasterOfMinutia | Is anyone familiar with changing outgoing packet TTL's on 11.04? | 00:08 |
| computerx | jrib: I did, didn't work | 00:08 |
| NathanWW | does anyone know Is it posible to setup kerrighed to be disk bootable insted of pxe? | 00:09 |
| computerx | jrib: I'll trace the rc.d/init,d quickly. Thanks again | 00:09 |
| pn | i have to use the terminal in Geany to make commands to the shell | 00:09 |
| noahk11 | How do i properly install ubuntu/xubuntu to a partition on a external drive that i can actually boot to? | 00:10 |
| urlin2u | NathanWW, not Ubuntu you might try #linux | 00:11 |
| noahk11 | me? | 00:11 |
| computerx | noahk11: I guess that all depends if grub can see you external drive | 00:11 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, use the custo instal=something other point grun at the external. | 00:11 |
| computerx | noahk11: If it can, it should be trivial | 00:11 |
| urlin2u | custom/install/grub* | 00:12 |
| noahk11 | I know the generall install process i just HATE grub | 00:12 |
| noahk11 | to much tinkering | 00:12 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, it is fairly easy you just have to point grub to the external mbr | 00:13 |
| petester | twitter no longer supports cURL .. .. any ideas of alternatives for auto-updating my public ip? | 00:13 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, you can unplug all other drives and install as well. | 00:13 |
| pn | any solution | 00:13 |
| noahk11 | Umm i cant really remove my internal drive | 00:14 |
| noahk11 | Whitch drive do i install GRUB to while installing? | 00:14 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, you have never custom installed? | 00:15 |
| noahk11 | I have i just dont know the correct drive | 00:15 |
| noahk11 | to install grub 2 | 00:15 |
| KM0201 | how can you hate "grub"? you se it for less than 5sec on each boot? | 00:15 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, the mbr of the external sudo fdisk -l will tell whcj=h it is or gparted. | 00:15 |
| urlin2u | which* | 00:16 |
| petester | win hide 2 | 00:16 |
| noahk11 | Well i mean will i install grub to the partion on witch xubuntu is installed or a different drive | 00:16 |
| geth022 | alkafoo: I think i screwed up :( | 00:16 |
| atomicfusion | Does Xvfb ever make use of a graphics card? | 00:17 |
| spacebug- | how can I temporarily change so that I don't need to enter a password? Autologin my user that is. I only want to do this for one reboot to test upstart time then change back to normal again. | 00:17 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, the normal OS grub files will install to the the OS, the grub bootloader goes to the n=mbr= sdX | 00:17 |
| geth022 | alkafoo: i added the two lines of code at the bottom of the text file it said to, and now alsamixer is no longer in a directory | 00:17 |
| urlin2u | mbr+sdx* | 00:17 |
| Islam | does any body know how to remove the wine prog ? I already tried the apt-get remove but it says somthing is already in use. and I really need to remove it. its making alot of errors | 00:18 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, you g=havwe to use the something else option to do this. | 00:18 |
| scwizard | I don't want people with access to server A to be able to access to server B if they don't know the password. I want to write a script on server A that will perform automated tasks on server B. Is this a legimate reason to use a tool like this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/sshpass/ | 00:18 |
| noahk11 | im not very linux savy so what is n=mbr= sdX | 00:18 |
| scwizard | because I'm assuming there's a good reason ssh forces interaction for password authentication | 00:18 |
| stepnjump | hi, I have a new installation here 11.04 and would like to install a HP OfficeJet 4500. Do I need to download HPLIP? | 00:19 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, miss spells mbr=sdX X is the drive letter no partition number | 00:19 |
| Islam | is there a force remove command to remove a pack ? | 00:19 |
| noahk11 | So i install grub to my main drive but make it point to the partition that has xubuntu on it? | 00:19 |
| yaerkin | scwizard: Depends on what you mean by access. | 00:20 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, you would point grub at the externals mbr the mbr is the sdX of the HD. | 00:20 |
| G0R | scwizard: why not just use ssh keys? | 00:20 |
| urlin2u | noahk11, this will make the external self booting, I think that is what yo want. | 00:21 |
| urlin2u | you* | 00:21 |
| yaerkin | scwizard: I'd create a particular user for the purpose and use key authentication. | 00:21 |
| SetiAmon | Anyone know why my screen savers arn't working?graphics and compiz are working | 00:21 |
| scwizard | G0R: "don't want people with access to server A to be able to access to server B if they don't know the password" | 00:21 |
| scwizard | yaerkin: would I have to create the user on server B? | 00:22 |
| G0R | scwizard: what password? keys use a passphrase (once, if you setup ssh-agent) that is not the same as the root password | 00:22 |
| G0R | scwizard: basically passwordless secure access | 00:23 |
| urlin2u | SetiAmon, could you give more details on what you have done to come to this conclusion | 00:23 |
| wildbat | sciwizard it is generally a bad idea to have a user account share with more then 1 user. | 00:23 |
| scwizard | G0R: the passwordless bit is the problem, it would mean that someone with ssh access to server A could ssh to server B from server A | 00:23 |
| Islam | how can I force remove a pack, every time I use apt-get remove it says its running, | 00:23 |
| urlin2u | SetiAmon, the release and desktop helps as well. | 00:24 |
| yaerkin | scwizard: Root access? | 00:24 |
| angel56 | Islam: you need to stop the process first before you try to remove the package | 00:24 |
| === Islam is now known as Islam_ | ||
| Chief-Wolf | Can anybody recomend a good Adobe After Effects replacement I can use on 11.04? | 00:24 |
| Islam_ | I cant stop the process and I dont know how | 00:24 |
| G0R | scwizard: then i misunderstood. i thought you wanted secure passwordless access | 00:24 |
| Islam_ | its the wine pack to run exe | 00:24 |
| a|i | how to set env variable HOME for user 'nobody'? | 00:24 |
| angel56 | Islam_: you can't have it both ways. Either you can't stop the process, or you don't know how | 00:25 |
| wildbat | Islam_: wineserver -k or sudo killall wine | 00:25 |
| Islam_ | thanx I'll try it | 00:25 |
| yaerkin | scwizard: You can make that work fine. The user with ssh access to server A just can't have read permission for the key file. | 00:26 |
| NathanWW | can anyone recomend Single System Image operating system for clusters that uses ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| scwizard | yaerkin: ahh, I see | 00:26 |
| Islam_ | it says its not wine: no process found | 00:26 |
| scwizard | so the result would be that you can only ssh to server B if you're root on server A | 00:26 |
| urlin2u | NathanWW, you mean a clone? | 00:27 |
| Islam_ | but when I try to remove it thats what it says : E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 00:27 |
| Islam_ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 00:27 |
| Chief-Wolf | Islam_ I can fix it, restart, try the APT again | 00:27 |
| SIFTU | NathanWW: did you ask in #ubuntu-server | 00:27 |
| Chief-Wolf | Islam_ That's how I fix it when I mess it up | 00:27 |
| SetiAmon | Gnome.basically i set it up in password under admin or what not.everything is set.but when it goes to timeout it just goes to black untill i log back in.i am using twinview dual monitors if that is relativent | 00:27 |
| Islam_ | I tried to logout and it didnt work even from the root account | 00:27 |
| Chief-Wolf | Islam_ Reboot not Logout | 00:28 |
| Islam_ | thanx I'll try it Chief-Wolf | 00:28 |
| urlin2u | SetiAmon, did you choose a scren saver? | 00:28 |
| urlin2u | screen* | 00:28 |
| NathanWW | urlin2u: for instance this "Kerrighed is a Single System Image operating system for clusters. Kerrighed offers the view of a unique SMP machine on top of a cluster of standard PCs." however Kerrighed does not support 32bit machines or disk based booting it all has to be done with pxe, and id like to use disk based insted also ill be using some older hardware thats not 64bit | 00:28 |
| Chief-Wolf | Islam_ it works for me, but if it doesnt fell so kind to you, come back in and I'm sure we c- and he left | 00:28 |
| urlin2u | NathanWW, this is ubuntu. | 00:29 |
| NathanWW | yes Kerrighed runs on ubuntu. as a cluster or way of smp acrost a cluster.. its all relative. i need another way to do what i want using ubuntu and disk based booting on 32bit hardware.. | 00:30 |
| Moonstar | Hello To All, just wondering if there is an app to format dvd's, I am using ubuntu 11.04. | 00:30 |
| Chief-Wolf | So can anybody tell me some good Motion Tracking software or Editing I can use in Ubuntu 11.04 | 00:30 |
| urlin2u | NathanWW, people would help otherwise if they new I think. | 00:30 |
| SetiAmon | yes urlin | 00:30 |
| angel56 | Moonstar: you don't format dvd's | 00:30 |
| urlin2u | SetiAmon, not sure really, soory. | 00:31 |
| scwizard | yaerkin: hmm, it assumes that the people we'd give root to server A are the same we'd give some access to server B but I guess that's a fine assumption to make, considering that anyone w/ root ot server A could just install a keylogger and get the ssh password to server B that way | 00:31 |
| urlin2u | moonsrstar for data? | 00:31 |
| Moonstar | angel56, thanks for the reply, even if the dvd is a r/w ? | 00:32 |
| angel56 | Moonstar: are you talking about trying to use it as a hard drive? | 00:32 |
| Gentoo64 | Moonstar, ubuntu should come with brasero, just click erase disk | 00:32 |
| Moonstar | urlin2u, only for data | 00:32 |
| bazhang | https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EasyUbuntuClustering/UbuntuKerrighedClusterGuide NathanWW this may prove relevant | 00:32 |
| urlin2u | Moonstar, yeah brasero can | 00:32 |
| Gentoo64 | or are you on about something else | 00:32 |
| Moonstar | thanks, i was going to use the dvd as a back up for the system. | 00:33 |
| starpwnage | Hey, i just installed ubuntu server 11.04 with lamp.. Now i want to install a gui and the help thing says 'First you nee to make sure you have enabled Universe and multiverse repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list file'... how do i do that? | 00:33 |
| starpwnage | i can use the comands but it failes to fetch data | 00:34 |
| noonday | hi everyone, people complain about the voice distortion in my Linux version of Skype but the same microphone has no such distortion in Windows. Any ideas of what to do? | 00:34 |
| urlin2u | Moonstar, use remastersys Single System Image or you can clone it with clonezilla | 00:34 |
| pn | yes fix it great | 00:34 |
| urlin2u | Moonstar, sorry http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ | 00:35 |
| pn | just installed and upgraded python-vtk and python-vte | 00:35 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, why not just install ubuntu desktop | 00:35 |
| zrzerenato | hello | 00:35 |
| Moonstar | urlin2u, thanks, i will have a look at both of these. | 00:35 |
| zrzerenato | can any body give little hand ? | 00:35 |
| urlin2u | Moonstar, remastersys is pretty cool. | 00:36 |
| starpwnage | Gentoo64, if i do that can i still install all the stuff i need for phpmyadmin and have sql databases and all that stuff? | 00:36 |
| yaerkin | scwizard: Anyone with root access to server A can pull the credentials out of the script, no matter what kind of credentials you use. | 00:36 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, id assume so yes | 00:36 |
| zrzerenato | im trying to have , 2 NTFS partitions 1 swap and 2 Ext4 .. in same HD | 00:36 |
| scwizard | yaerkin: well duh, but the idea is that the credentials wouldn't be hardcoded | 00:36 |
| yaerkin | scwizard: One possibility would be to do the automation on server B and push/pull as necessary. | 00:36 |
| scwizard | but yeah what you proposed makes a lot of sense | 00:36 |
| scwizard | thank you very much for your help | 00:37 |
| Moonstar | urlin2u, just wanted to get things organised in case something happenned | 00:37 |
| JusticeZero | Having problems getting updates (10.04LTS) | 00:37 |

| ubottu | starpwnage: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 00:39 |

| JusticeZero | ergh.. Any brute forcey ways to force an update, then? | 00:51 |
| Gentoo64 | Chief-Wolf, no they can be on seperate drives | 00:51 |
| starpwnage | network is unreachable :/ | 00:51 |
| wolfe213_ | Chief-Wolf: you can dual boot with two drives, yes | 00:51 |
| urlin2u | Chief-Wolf, yeah you can have OS's on different drives. | 00:51 |
| hanasaki | what will show how much network is being used by each program? the gnome network monitor shows a lot in use and I need to find what program is using it and where it is communicating too | 00:51 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, what does ifconfig show? | 00:51 |
| Gentoo64 | anything? | 00:51 |
| yaerkin | redragon_: What does 'ip route' give you? | 00:51 |
| Chief-Wolf | Okay than, I'm going to put windows 7 on the 250 gig, Ubuntu is on my 75 and is more of a leasure tool :3 | 00:51 |
| starpwnage | gentoo, it has like 13 lines of text | 00:52 |
| geth022 | AYO, someone can help me with my ALSA difficulties? Got speakers on my laptop that will play, but no outputjack | 00:52 |
| wolfe213_ | thats pretty crazy I thought I was being slick rolling back install of mythtv with tasksel I didnt know it was gonna remove the whole system | 00:52 |
| DeLorean731 | Where would I go for windows MBR help? | 00:52 |
| urlin2u | Chief-Wolf, is the 75 gig a slave? | 00:52 |
| zakidine | okay i'll ask again | 00:52 |
| Gentoo64 | DeLorean731, ##windows | 00:52 |
| Chief-Wolf | Urilin2u, It is the slave, the 250 is the primary, ubuntu is on the 75 | 00:52 |
| zakidine | how can i recover the "user-sound" that disapeared from my gnome bar | 00:52 |
| DeLorean731 | thank you | 00:52 |
| urlin2u | Chief-Wolf, yo may have problems if you want grub to boot both, I would put both in the master. | 00:53 |
| urlin2u | you* | 00:53 |
| Moonstar | thanks for your help...hope you all have a good day or evening | 00:53 |
| starpwnage | gentoo64, what part of the text do you want? it mainly has stuff like rx packets :0, trhen with tx | 00:53 |
| Chief-Wolf | Ah, I'm gonna have to do a Full System Whipe and go BACK to w7 before I put ubuntu back on the 75 than? | 00:53 |
| starpwnage | then there is interrupt: 40 base adress 0x6000 | 00:53 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, it should say your local ip like 192.168 etc | 00:53 |
| redragon_ | http://fpaste.org/vMIX/ | 00:53 |
| redragon_ | yaerkin, there is a new paste with ip route output | 00:53 |
| redragon_ | wait | 00:54 |
| redragon_ | http://fpaste.org/TBNp/ | 00:54 |
| redragon_ | fpaste doesn't like me sometimes :) | 00:54 |
| Gentoo64 | Chief-Wolf, no. if you dont use ubuntu much you can select what drive to boot from when you turn the pc on | 00:54 |
| urlin2u | Chief-Wolf, not sure what you mean basically you can't boot with a slave where grub would be in the mbr. | 00:54 |
| starpwnage | gentoo64, the closest thing is 127.0.0.1 | 00:54 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, do you use dhcp? if not then youll need to manually set an address | 00:54 |
| geth022 | Hey, is there a dedicated channel for alsa problems? | 00:54 |
| ninwa | Is it possible to get a program's description via apt-get or some similar command without checking it through the ubuntu software center? I may have overlooked, but I've checked apt-get help and man 8 apt-get for any clues. | 00:54 |
| Chief-Wolf | i'm about to reformat with everything on the Master, wish me luck~ | 00:54 |
| urlin2u | geth022, in ubuntu yes | 00:54 |
| starpwnage | gentoo64, i think the installer autometically set up dhcp | 00:55 |
| JusticeZero | I'm waiting for 11.10 because 11.04 apparently has driver issues with my new laptop that are cleared up in the new edition. plus I can't seem to get it to install off of the stick grrrr.. | 00:55 |
| geth022 | urlin2u: cool, what is it? | 00:55 |
| Flannel | ninwa: apt-cache show packagename, or apt-cache showpkg packagename (they each give similar, but different, info) | 00:55 |
| yeats | ninwa: apt-cache search <package> | 00:55 |
| Gentoo64 | geth022, its this channel | 00:55 |
| Gentoo64 | geth022, but its not an alsa problem | 00:55 |
| ninwa | ah, thank you guys, I wasn't aware of apt-cache, I should have tab-completed on "apt- " honestly. | 00:55 |
| geth022 | kaaaay, what would it then be? | 00:55 |
| Gentoo64 | geth022, the usual.. a laptop problem lol | 00:56 |
| Gentoo64 | with ubuntu | 00:56 |
| islam__ | guys you are just great | 00:56 |
| blsh0p | will skype for 10.04 work for 11.04 | 00:56 |
| starpwnage | gentoo64, would 'sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces' be the commnand i use and then enter the stuff like shown in a tutorial? including address, broadcast, mask e.t.c? | 00:56 |
| islam__ | linux is the BEST | 00:56 |
| zhcb | hello | 00:57 |

| urlin2u | islam__, cam up and running? | 00:57 |
| islam__ | now I'm not going to log in to windows again forever | 00:57 |
| wolfe213_ | blsh0p: skype is in the software center under partners or whatever | 00:57 |
| yaerkin | redragon_: That's really weird. Try 'ping -I eth1' (that is a capital i) | 00:57 |
| === X_ is now known as FreeNET | ||
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, yes you can change it to static | 00:57 |

| blsh0p | affirmative, wolfe213 | 00:58 |
| zhcb | linux by YLMF is the best | 00:58 |
| islam__ | now I can run the exe files, webcam, and every thing is better than windows, never gonna login to windows again | 00:58 |
| JusticeZero | aargh hate windows.. still at a loss how to get updates though! | 00:58 |

| redragon_ | yaerkin, whats even weirder is that both machine exhibit the same issue | 00:59 |
| islam__ | is there any where I can recommend you guys or some how to say thank you ? | 00:59 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, yes | 00:59 |
| islam__ | or help linux be number one in the world ? | 00:59 |
| starpwnage | gentoo64, thanks and once i finish typing the stuff into the file, how do i exit and save? i couldnt work iut out last time :S | 00:59 |
| jseongtae76_ | Hello, everyone | 01:00 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, press esc to exit insert mode, then type :x | 01:00 |
| JusticeZero | to help it be number one get more people using it. the more users the faster it improves. | 01:00 |
| jseongtae76_ | my apparmor has error | 01:00 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, or use nano, its just ctrl+x with nano | 01:00 |
| jseongtae76_ | How I solve this error | 01:00 |
| redragon_ | yaerkin, in all my years i've not seen a box blatently disreguard routing like that | 01:00 |
| jseongtae76_ | error message:.: 35: Can't open /lib/apparmor/functions | 01:00 |
| islam__ | I'm allready doing that on facebook and twitter | 01:00 |
| jseongtae76_ | I was change mysql directory | 01:00 |
| JusticeZero | ok, gonna try the forums, this is beyond annoying. | 01:01 |
| islam__ | by the way the best thing about ubuntu is you guys, you are making every thing just easy | 01:01 |
| geth022 | Anyone have any idea what i can do to get my output jack working? Toshiba L655D | 01:01 |
| neil_m | group hug? | 01:01 |
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, are you using wine? | 01:01 |
| wolfe213_ | islam__: yeah, uninstalling my whole system just a few minute ago by accident was real EASY | 01:02 |
| JusticeZero | I do.. | 01:02 |
| wolfe213_ | heh | 01:02 |
| lakcaj | Hello. Does anyone know of a gmail notifier that supports multiple accounts and is actually working right now? The firefox extension I usually use as well as all the gnome gmail notifiers I've tried won't log in anymore. Suggestions? | 01:02 |
| === wolfe213_ is now known as wolfe213 | ||
| JusticeZero | not at the moment, mind.. | 01:02 |
| Gentoo64 | wolfe213, unlucky lol | 01:02 |
| calimike20 | Hi, I am a new user to the distro and am using 11.04. I am trying to get the original terminals to show up. I used to do this in Slackware and Red Hat by escaping out using ctrl-alt F1, then toggling around using the F-keys. Any thoughts? | 01:02 |
| wolfe213 | yeah well how was I suppose to know running tasksel and unselecting mythtv would uninstall everything | 01:02 |
| islam__ | wolfe213: you can do every thing easily by asking those marvilas ppl here | 01:02 |
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, go to the wine ppa and make sure the key is correct and your apt/get sources.list ois correct. | 01:02 |
| JusticeZero | I have no idea what signature goes to wine, and nothing said *wine* anywhere. | 01:02 |
| Gentoo64 | calimike20, should be the same ctrl alt + f1 | 01:03 |
| wolfe213 | I kinda figured it would only remove the mythtv stuff and leave the standard ubuntu base and desktop | 01:03 |
| wenexx | hey there | 01:03 |
| starpwnage | i still cant ping anything :( | 01:03 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, did you reoot? | 01:03 |
| Gentoo64 | reboot* | 01:03 |
| yaerkin | redragon_: Are you 100% certain that the interface names correspond to the NICs you think they do? | 01:03 |
| calimike20 | Gentoo, I can escape out, but I only see a blank black screen | 01:03 |
| islam__ | wolfe213: just come here any time and ask the guys here they already helped me with a thousand issues already | 01:03 |
| calimike20 | no login prompt. | 01:03 |
| Gentoo64 | calimike20, tried all the f's? | 01:03 |
| zakidine | okay, i manager to restore the user name on the gnome bar | 01:03 |
| redragon_ | yaerkin, what do you mean? | 01:03 |
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, may bne in .etc/apt/sources.list.d | 01:04 |
| zakidine | but the "sound icon" is still disapeared | 01:04 |
| urlin2u | be | 01:04 |
| zakidine | how can i get it back? | 01:04 |
| calimike20 | Gentoo, I tried them all. | 01:04 |
| Gentoo64 | calimike20, no idea :s sorry! | 01:04 |
| starpwnage | restarting now | 01:04 |
| yaerkin | redragon_: You've got 2 interfaces. Are you absolutely sure that eth0 is the card you think it is? | 01:04 |
| petester | what's the best way to make my computer automatically check it's public ip and then email it or twitter it or whatever? | 01:04 |
| yaerkin | (and vice versa) | 01:04 |
| redragon_ | eth0 is working fine | 01:05 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, you can bring up / down the net interface but i just reboot after changes | 01:05 |
| wolfe213 | islam__: yeah well I'm familiar with the process.. been using debian for like 12 years and I'm linux+ certified | 01:05 |
| petester | i think curl stopped working like 2 years ago | 01:05 |
| calimike20 | Can someone remind me which file in etc was responsible for displaying the login terminal tty (like for f1 to f12)? | 01:05 |
| redragon_ | I show links, if I do arping to the 100 subnet it returns the mac of the 104 subnet | 01:05 |
| starpwnage | still unkown host | 01:05 |
| Gentoo64 | wolfe213, how did you manage to "uninstall" ubuntu by accident? | 01:05 |
| geth022 | Anyone have any idea what i can do to get my output jack working? Toshiba L655D. I can give you my alsa info | 01:06 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, maybe you did the net config wrong? does lspci show the network card? | 01:06 |
| wolfe213 | Gentoo64: uh cause in debian 1) there is no mythtv in tasksel, and 2) if there was it would not uinstall everything down to the tasksel program itself just by unchecking it.. heh | 01:06 |
| starpwnage | gentoo64, http://pastebin.com/Rw61J4Ep | 01:06 |
| JusticeZero | Seemed to be in order..? | 01:06 |
| wolfe213 | nor would it have just restarted gdm while I had the reinstall running in an xterm | 01:06 |
| lakcaj | So nobody is using a gmail notifier right now that actually works? | 01:06 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, theres no lo in there | 01:06 |
| Gentoo64 | wolfe213, ah ok | 01:07 |
| wolfe213 | if I knew that would happen I wouldve had it in screen.. now I gotta start it back up.. in debian it won't restart any services unless you confirm first | 01:07 |
| JusticeZero | In any case, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa did not help it to update, and that's the command line from winehq | 01:07 |
| starpwnage | gentoo64, i left the other stuff in there, its further up, not in that document though | 01:07 |
| starpwnage | gentoo64, and it does show the ethernet controller which is what im using | 01:07 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, can you ping the router? | 01:07 |
| starpwnage | gentoo64, if i can find the ip for the router | 01:08 |
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, you have it installed already you can save the key that is in the ppa in a gedit in home and add it to software sources. | 01:08 |
| Gentoo64 | probably 192.168.1.1 or 0.1 | 01:08 |
| === Auriel__ is now known as Auriel | ||
| starpwnage | gentoo64, it would be defult gateway in cmd right? | 01:08 |
| Gentoo64 | yes | 01:08 |
| JusticeZero | not sure I understand what you mean by that. | 01:09 |
| starpwnage | ok, it says network is unreachable | 01:09 |
| redragon_ | yaerkin, further the udev rules show the same mac for the respective output from ifconfig | 01:09 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, is your cable plugged in? lol | 01:09 |
| starpwnage | yes | 01:09 |
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, is this the ppa your using? | 01:09 |
| qin | lakcaj: What notifier? | 01:10 |
| urlin2u | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa JusticeZero | 01:10 |
| Gentoo64 | starpwnage, is this on the server? can you paste the ifconfig -a | 01:10 |
| geth022 | Where could i go to get more specific help? | 01:10 |
| JusticeZero | it should be? | 01:10 |
| Gentoo64 | geth022, in the system settings somewhere theres sound options have you played with that? | 01:10 |
| starpwnage | i have my main pc which im using now (windows) and the server connected to the rotuer via ethernet cable | 01:10 |
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, this I think is the correct without really knowing to be honest. http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/6 | 01:11 |
| geth022 | Gentoo64: yeah, i checked the only available option in hardware and there wasn't much i could do | 01:11 |
| JusticeZero | Wine has been installed for some time without issues. I do the install as directed on winehq (as the Ubuntu repositoryu has been known to be wonky) | 01:11 |
| geth022 | Gentoo64: would there be another channel with more help like what i'm looking for? | 01:12 |
| Gentoo64 | geth022, maybe try making a forum thread on it if no one has any clues here | 01:12 |
| wenexx | do someone know how to find/enter the nautilus channel? I have some ideas like mindcontrol and stuff like that ;-) | 01:12 |
| bazhang | wenexx, nautilus channel? | 01:12 |
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, I am always amazed people use wine at all to be honest seems likw a hassle when you can just dual boot. | 01:12 |
| Gentoo64 | geth022, not sure tbh, a lot of specific channels are very quiet | 01:13 |
| starpwnage_ | im back, sorry | 01:13 |

| geth022 | where are the most commonly used forums hidden at? | 01:13 |

| JusticeZero | dual booting is a huge hassle. | 01:13 |
| Gentoo64 | geth022, just google ubuntu forums | 01:13 |
| Gentoo64 | youll find it | 01:13 |
| wenexx | yeah. I posted some ideas in ubuntu.brainstorm and they told me I may should try the irc.gnome.org #nautilus channel/room, but I am new in irc and was alone there, or wrong? | 01:14 |
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, really have 7 OS's on one Hd it is easy once you know hopw, two are windows. | 01:14 |
| urlin2u | I | 01:14 |
| Gentoo64 | 7? | 01:14 |
| urlin2u | yes | 01:14 |
| Gentoo64 | why on earth? lol | 01:14 |
| Gentoo64 | id consideer that bloat | 01:15 |
| urlin2u | Gentoo64, why not8 actually counting the virtual | 01:15 |
| xangua | wenexx: irc.gnome.org is not irc freenote | 01:15 |
| JusticeZero | yeah, it's not strictly -difficult- so much as -annoying- to close up everything, shut down, reboot, have the clock go off, to run one program, then shut down and reboot to do anything else. | 01:15 |
| urlin2u | Gentoo64, it is nice to know how how other OS's run if you want to help. | 01:15 |

| Gentoo64 | buy a new NIC if you're serious | 01:29 |
| Gentoo64 | kernel dont support 8168 properly | 01:29 |
| Bustin | ew... | 01:29 |
| Gentoo64 | i bought an intel nic to replace my onboard 8168 | 01:29 |
| Bustin | wondered why I couldn't get a secure connection to any mirrors with any distro | 01:29 |
| Gentoo64 | not just that, it ocmpletely cuts out forcing a cmos reset | 01:29 |
| Gentoo64 | you can install the driver | 01:29 |
| Bustin | so it's pretty much pointless installing Ubuntu until I replace the card | 01:29 |
| Gentoo64 | but good luck with updates | 01:30 |
| Bustin | updates as in for the driver, or ubuntu itself? | 01:30 |
| Gentoo64 | Bustin, you can install it, then replace the card. it uses the 8169 driver | 01:30 |
| Gentoo64 | Bustin, kernel updates, and dist upgrades | 01:31 |
| Gentoo64 | well they broke my downstairs comps connection anyway, even with the driver installed. its just a dodgy card on linux | 01:31 |
| Gentoo64 | Bustin, id buy an intel one tbh youll have no problems ever | 01:32 |
| Bustin | Gentoo64: was looking @ this - http://ncix.com/products/?sku=15706&vpn=PWLA8391GTBLK&manufacture=Intel | 01:33 |
| scwizard | when I passwd myname it also changes the root password, what's going on here? | 01:33 |
| Bustin | anywho, thanks. | 01:33 |
| Gentoo64 | yes theyre all good. i use the CT but theyre all 100% supported in linux | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | scwizard: root password? You mean the password you give to 'sudo | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | ? | 01:34 |
| scwizard | dr_willis: yes | 01:34 |
| Gentoo64 | scwizard, thats not root pass that user | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | scwizard: t hat makes perfect sence.. since the sudo password is theusers password. | 01:34 |
| Gentoo64 | sudo allows users to do any command | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | if differnt users had sudo rights. they each give their own password. | 01:34 |
| scwizard | ok | 01:34 |
| scwizard | how do I make it so that myname doesn't have sudo rights? | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | You have other users with sudo rights? | 01:35 |
| scwizard | dr_willis: no | 01:35 |
| scwizard | just one user total actually | 01:35 |
| Gentoo64 | why do it then? | 01:35 |
| scwizard | let me create another tho | 01:35 |
| dr_willis | scwizard: then you DONT want to do that. :) :P | 01:35 |
| webservfer | firefox wont let me save web pages :.( | 01:35 |
| Gentoo64 | good luck doing ANYTHING lol | 01:35 |
| scwizard | dr_willis: kk, I'm going to go and create another user with sudo rights | 01:35 |
| Flannel | scwizard: deluser myname admin | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | newly made users would not have sudo rights by default scwizard | 01:36 |
| scwizard | yes by default | 01:36 |
| Gentoo64 | scwizard, are you trying to make it like windows with a limited user? | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | scwizard: why are you doing all this? | 01:36 |
| Gentoo64 | the point of sudo is that you dont HAVE t use it | 01:36 |
| Gentoo64 | ie everything is done as limited user | 01:36 |
| scwizard | but if I do adduser new_user --system | 01:36 |
| scwizard | then they do right? | 01:36 |
| notverygoodatthi | hello everyone, I could use some help regarding installing ubuntu studio to dual boot alongside windows 7. I attempted to install from a USB stick using unetbootin , then accidentally passed the stage of installation where you select additional packages without having selected anything. When I went back to that step and selected the packages I wanted, the installation failed, and the syste | 01:36 |
| notverygoodatthi | m got stuck in fsck with an error. Since then I've tried reinstalling (wiping the partition in the process) several times, and whenever I get to the step where you select packages it only shows the ones I selected during the first installation, then fails in the same ways. I even reinstalled the installer on the USB drive, to no avail. I have no idea what to do. help please? | 01:36 |
| FloodBot1 | notverygoodatthi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:36 |
| notverygoodatthi | whew, wall of text= | 01:36 |
| Gentoo64 | notverygoodatthi, it shouldnt have messed anything up if it didnt begin installing | 01:37 |
| Bustin | Gentoo64: any chance in the near future a fix will be released for that issue? | 01:37 |
| webservfer | how do i change permission on folder and files | 01:37 |
| Gentoo64 | Bustin, i doubt it tbh its been around for years | 01:38 |
| Gentoo64 | maybe one day... | 01:38 |
| DeLorean731 | No one seems to be able to help me in ##windows... would any help be available to fix a windows boot sector via ubuntu live disc or something? | 01:38 |
| notverygoodatthi | it was in the process of installing | 01:38 |
| wildbat | !permession | webservfer | 01:38 |
| Bustin | OH, one of those bugs. | 01:38 |
| Bustin | ew. | 01:38 |
| CluelessPerson | Would it work if I put the linux installation on my usb hard drive as a boot disk, then put that hard drive inside my netbook, to boot and install ubuntu onto it's own internal drive it's booting from? | 01:38 |
| Gentoo64 | DeLorean731, google fix windows mbr | 01:38 |
| Gentoo64 | youll find it, | 01:38 |
| wildbat | !permission | oops webservfer | 01:38 |
| ubottu | oops webservfer: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 01:38 |
| DeLorean731 | I have, I've tried a number of solutions | 01:38 |
| notverygoodatthi | when I went back, it was at the final "hey you need to reboot" message but with an option to go back | 01:38 |
| Gentoo64 | Bustin, yea, no idea why its not been fixed | 01:38 |
| Gentoo64 | notverygoodatthi, so what happens when you boot the livecd and go for anotheri nstall? | 01:39 |
| CluelessPerson | >.> | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | CluelessPerson: you can do that i imagine. | 01:39 |
| Bustin | there hasn't been any successful work-arounds that you know of as well? I mean if it's been years... someones had to have had some success lol | 01:39 |
| webservfer | permissions tap does nothing it just reverts back to defaul | 01:39 |
| Gentoo64 | Bustin, yes, theres a driver you can manually install | 01:39 |
| Gentoo64 | Bustin, but it breaks on updates | 01:39 |
| webservfer | i can't change anything | 01:39 |
| Bustin | Gentoo64: alright, so new NIC card it is, thanks. Lol | 01:40 |
| Gentoo64 | so i wouldnt recommend it, the 8168 does work, but badly. so id use it as it is until you get a new card tbh | 01:40 |
| scwizard | dr_willis: I want to change the name of the user with sudo rights | 01:40 |
| Gentoo64 | if you get any problems reset the cmos | 01:40 |
| notverygoodatthi | well it's not a liveCD, just the installation thing, and like I said, when I try to reinstall, even if I wipe the ubuntu partition, it still show only those packages which I selected the first time as options, then fails to install regardless of whether I choose to install them or not | 01:40 |
| scwizard | dr_willis: and I want the user that previously had sudo rights to be a regular user | 01:40 |
| Gentoo64 | notverygoodatthi, how does it fail? | 01:40 |
| webservfer | just install it next to windows it so much easier | 01:41 |
| scwizard | so right now I have one user: Abe, Abe has sudo rights | 01:41 |
| scwizard | I want two users, Abe and Beth, where Beth has sudo rights and Abe doesn't | 01:41 |
| oldschool | hi can anyone help me out am use ubuntu desktop 10.04 and am getting this error here (failed to run/usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window'--non-interactive'' '--parent-windoiw-id '41943082''-o' 'synaptic::closezvt=ture--progress-str' 'please wait, this can take some time.' '--finish-str' 'update is complete' '--set-selections-file' '/tmp/tmp7sztg' as user root. unable to copy the users xauthorization file) | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | scwizard: why does it really matter. :) but thats should be easialy doable. | 01:42 |
| notverygoodatthi | it goes through the process, then tells me that the "select and install software" has failed, and brings me to the menu for different steps | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | scwizard: just be sure to make the 2nd admin user first.. then remove rights from the first one. | 01:42 |
| webservfer | scwizard the just set ade to not need a password to log in | 01:42 |
| Gentoo64 | scwizard, what does it say when you run groups | 01:42 |
| qin | scwizard: man adduser; man deluser | 01:43 |
| notverygoodatthi | if I try to complete the installation regardless, when I try to boot ubuntu it runs fsck then gets stuck with an error that I can't remember | 01:44 |
| scwizard | qin: so to change Abe from a user with sudo rights to a user without sudo rights, I need to delete and recreate the user? | 01:44 |
| notverygoodatthi | I think it was "disconnected from plymouth" | 01:44 |
| Gentoo64 | scwizard, why dont you want sudo rights? | 01:44 |
| webservfer | so I'm locked out of downloading files from firefox and changing things doesn't seem to be going well. permissions is lock me out. it just goes back to setting that were all really given so I'm at a loss | 01:44 |
| Gentoo64 | scwizard, has someone else got your password or something? | 01:45 |
| qin | scwizard: I think: sudo deluser Abe admin | 01:45 |
| qin | scwizard: Let me check | 01:45 |
| scwizard | Gentoo64: nono, I just want the user that doesn't have sudo rights to be named "Abe" | 01:45 |
| Gentoo64 | lol ok | 01:45 |
| urlin2u | webservfer, any errors you like to pastebin, and be more exacting in the despription | 01:45 |
| webservfer | sure | 01:46 |
| Gentoo64 | scwizard, they can both have sudo rights you know | 01:46 |
| scwizard | Gentoo64: duh, but I want there to exist a user named abe that doesn't have sudo rights | 01:46 |
| Gentoo64 | webservfer, do you use apparmor? | 01:46 |
| qin | scwizard: All would be, as Abe: sudo adduser Beth; sudo adduser Beth admin; sudo deluser Abu admin; | 01:46 |
| scwizard | kk | 01:47 |
| notverygoodatthi | anyone? I'm at a loss here, I don't even understand how there's any memory stored of those options I selected the first time | 01:47 |
| scwizard | I dun get why people are so curious why I want to do what I want to do :/ | 01:47 |
| webservfer | Gentoo64, apparmor? | 01:47 |
| scwizard | thaks qin | 01:47 |
| webservfer | i guess not | 01:47 |
| Gentoo64 | webservfer, ok dw | 01:47 |
| qin | scwizard: Last part may need to be run as Beth. | 01:47 |
| webservfer | No not getting the error anymore and firefox is letting me write files now, but still i can't change a thing in permissions tap | 01:48 |
| * redragon_ slaps the server around until networking begins to work properly | 01:48 | |
| urlin2u | scwizard, we don't like to waste time and want to make sure a user actually knows what there doing. | 01:48 |
| urlin2u | their | 01:48 |
| scwizard | no urlin2u you mean they're | 01:49 |
| urlin2u | scwizard, oh thank you mister know it all. | 01:50 |
| urlin2u | :D | 01:50 |
| wladston | guys, looking for info on how to update ubuntu from 10.04 to 11.04 on an openvz vps. | 01:50 |
| aya_ | Oo | 01:51 |
| urlin2u | wladston, you have to go up[ per distro | 01:51 |
| notverygoodatthi | can no one help me with my thing? | 01:51 |
| aya_ | Explain | 01:51 |
| wladston | urlin2u: the thing is .... when I do a dist-upgrade, I break the box | 01:51 |
| Gentoo64 | thats quite normal | 01:52 |
| oldschool | hi can anyone help me out am use ubuntu desktop 10.04 and am getting this error here (failed to run/usr/sbin/synaptic '--hide-main-window'--non-interactive'' '--parent-windoiw-id '41943082''-o' 'synaptic::closezvt=ture--progress-str' 'please wait, this can take some time.' '--finish-str' 'update is complete' '--set-selections-file' '/tmp/tmp7sztg' as user root. unable to copy the users xauthorization file) | 01:52 |
| wladston | urlin2u: I was hoping someone here is familiar with running ubuntu on those cheap vps | 01:52 |
| scwizard | "Abe is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." Abe's gonna get arrested :O | 01:52 |
| Gentoo64 | scwizard, heh is that what it says now? | 01:53 |
| scwizard | yupyup | 01:53 |
| urlin2u | wladston, you can only go from LTS to LTS or up by distro, why it is breaking wil need more info. | 01:53 |
| Gentoo64 | scwizard, the gona get arrested bit? | 01:53 |
| scwizard | nono | 01:53 |
| Gentoo64 | ah ok :p | 01:53 |
| Gentoo64 | theres some script that says funny stuff with sudo | 01:54 |
| wladston | urlin2u: right.. thanks :) | 01:54 |
| Ibis | Gentoo64: Fortune? | 01:54 |
| wladston | urlin2u: what kind of info would help ? | 01:54 |
| Gentoo64 | Ibis, idk what its called. on gentoo if you enable offensive when you install sudo it says insults | 01:54 |
| wladston | urlin2u: the box just doesn't bring the network or any service up | 01:54 |
| Ibis | Speaking of that, I recently switched from linuxmint and already missing it. | 01:54 |
| Gentoo64 | when you enter wrong password etc | 01:54 |
| Ibis | ROFL | 01:55 |
| Ibis | Can you give me a sample? | 01:55 |
| Ibis | :P | 01:55 |
| Gentoo64 | i dont have it enabled any more | 01:55 |
| Gentoo64 | no swear words though | 01:55 |
| Gentoo64 | just silly stuff | 01:55 |
| urlin2u | wladston, any errors for the distro upgrade probably, not really an area will have much comment in I never upgrade, just fresh installs here. | 01:55 |
| urlin2u | I | 01:56 |
| Flannel | Gentoo64: Gentoo64, Ibis: sudo visudo, then edit the line that says "Defaults" and add ,insults to the end of it | 01:56 |
| Gentoo64 | ah ok | 01:56 |
| wladston | urlin2u: right. the dist upgrade runs cleanly. the problem probably happens because this vps don't have a REAL kernel | 01:56 |
| Gentoo64 | lol never really looked into it | 01:56 |
| Bustin | Gentoo64: A bit OT, is there a way to replace unity with gnome 3? I am not a big fan of unity. | 01:57 |
| wladston | urlin2u: it's like a virtual kernel ... and I have to idea how to debug it | 01:57 |
| Bustin | but I do love gnome 3 | 01:57 |
| Gentoo64 | Bustin, it breaks ubuntu apparently | 01:57 |
| Gentoo64 | not upposrted | 01:57 |
| Gentoo64 | supported | 01:57 |
| Gentoo64 | Bustin, i think the onl way is another distro for gnome 3 atm | 01:57 |
| Bustin | aka Fedora | 01:58 |
| qin | Bustin: 11.10 is gnome3 based, just wait couple of weeks. | 01:58 |
| rww | Bustin: There's an unsupported and unstable PPA for 11.04, and GNOME 3 is in 11.10 (which comes out next month). | 01:58 |
| Bustin | or arch, and manually install | 01:58 |
| {-_-} | Bustin: you can use gnome-shell 2.32, it;s in the repos | 01:58 |
| notverygoodatthi | I don't mean to be a nuisance but I could really use an answer to my question, idk how long you're supposed to wait before reposting | 01:58 |
| {-_-} | Bustin: it's | 01:58 |
| urlin2u | wladston, not really sure with vps either never ran one, 10.04 is longterm I would stay there really I gues. | 01:58 |
| urlin2u | guess | 01:59 |
| Gentoo64 | notverygoodatthi, make a forum thread on it youll get more focus that way | 01:59 |
| wladston | urlin2u: I would like to keep 10.04 too. the problem is that the 10.04 package of the software I need to run has a bug | 01:59 |
| Nautilus | what is /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.ucf-dist ? | 01:59 |
| webservfer | how would i go about elevating user privileges? | 01:59 |
| Gentoo64 | webservfer, what do you mean? | 02:00 |
| Gentoo64 | use sudo? | 02:01 |
| macer1 | Win7 and Ubuntu breaked at the same time, they are stack at splash screen in bootloader. OSX boots...my hard drive breaked :(? | 02:01 |
| webservfer | Gentoo64, i don't have the privileges needed to gain access to some files, such as my grub config file | 02:01 |
| Gentoo64 | webservfer, use sudo | 02:02 |
| webservfer | just sudo? | 02:02 |
| Gentoo64 | or gksudo for gui | 02:02 |
| Gentoo64 | like gedit | 02:02 |
| Gentoo64 | etc | 02:02 |
| Fishscene | Greetings. I recently purchased a song on the "Ubuntu One Music Store" and the wrong one was given to me. On top of that, I am now unable to view the album that holds the song I want to purchase, but I can view other albums. How would I open a support ticket? | 02:02 |
| webservfer | well i tried but i need to open the file with sudo in the command line right? | 02:02 |
| Gentoo64 | webservfer, yes | 02:03 |
| Gentoo64 | webservfer, use sudo vim/nano on the config or gksudo gedit on it | 02:03 |
| macer1 | Fishscene: what client do you use? banshee? rhytmbox? | 02:03 |
| webservfer | ok so sudo gedit then the file name? | 02:03 |
| Fishscene | I bought it on Banshee, but I'm now at home on Rythmbox | 02:03 |
| Gentoo64 | webservfer, yes, or the full path to the file name if you're not in the directory. use gksudo for anything thats not in the command line | 02:04 |
| webservfer | ok thanks so much | 02:04 |
| Gentoo64 | sudo will work but gksudo is the proper way | 02:04 |
| webservfer | Gentoo64, just did a check in my user settings I am not administrator can you help? | 02:05 |
| Gentoo64 | what does groups say | 02:06 |
| qin | webservfer: Try: lsb_release -sc | 02:06 |
| webservfer | custom | 02:06 |
| webservfer | gin, what should i do that for? | 02:07 |
| webservfer | I'm running in bash shell, idk how that effects me | 02:07 |

| a4 | I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, I read a guide on installing Amarok (despite not running KDE) and it told me to enable the kubuntu backports repository and now when i check for updates it tells me i need to do a "partial upgrade". This isnt going to switch me to kubuntu is it? | 02:11 |
| === anthony is now known as Guest84316 | ||
| Nautilus | can anyone tell me the size (and maybe date) of the default /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini in 10.04LTS ? | 02:11 |
| Guest84316 | cant find you.... | 02:11 |
| Fishscene | ok Thanks | 02:11 |
| Jeruvy | a4, no but you'll still have a lot of KDE installed so you probably could :) | 02:12 |
| a4 | what will this "partial upgrade" do then Jeruvy? Put me on 11.10 beta? | 02:12 |
| === smackpotato is now known as register | ||
| Jeruvy | a4 think of partial upgrades as broken, since they have a high likeliness of doing that | 02:13 |
| === register is now known as sma | ||
| soreau | Guest84316: See private message.. | 02:13 |
| Jeruvy | a4 determine which package(s) are causing it and see if you can resolve those | 02:13 |
| === sma is now known as smackpotat | ||
| webservfer | Jeruvy, do you know what the bash shell is? | 02:14 |
| a4 | well its suggesting about 30 packages relating to kde libs and amarok files Jeruvy | 02:14 |
| urlin2u | a4, Amarok is in the ubuntu repo's | 02:14 |
| Jeruvy | a4, most of them should be fine. | 02:14 |
| bjv | What package is required for userspace support of LVM? I just installed oneiric yesterday, and none of my old LVM partitions show up in File Browser? | 02:14 |
| a4 | yes i did sudo apt-get install amarok and a guide said i needed to enable the kubuntu backports on top of that urlin2u | 02:15 |
| bjv | i could see them all when i did the advanced set up in the Installer? | 02:15 |
| webservfer | a4, well you should do it | 02:15 |
| urlin2u | a4, okay than, never used itjOpBnaZvsN | 02:15 |
| upgrdman | i was using an onboard ati video card. i just upgraded to an nvidia card. at first x wouldn't start so i uninstalled the catalyst packages and used a backup of my xorg.conf. now x starts. system > admin > additional drivers no longer shows anything. how can i install the nvidia drivers? | 02:16 |
| Praet0rian | Ibis, why the ctcp | 02:16 |
| Ibis | Just to see what chat client you use. | 02:17 |
| Praet0rian | I use BitchX usually but I cant turn off socks usage in it lol | 02:18 |
| Praet0rian | thats why I have to use this crap | 02:18 |
| webservfer | upgrdman, so you need the drivers? is that what your asking | 02:18 |
| starpwnage_ | Hey, when i boot into ubuntu, i get a white screen with black lines, and then white with weird black things and lots of brackets... whats going on? | 02:18 |
| upgrdman | webservfer, yes. i tried using apt-get to install the package but then x won't start because it cant find the nvidia module. | 02:18 |
| webservfer | upgrdman, did you try the synaptic package manager? | 02:19 |
| upgrdman | how would that be any different than apt-get? | 02:19 |
| webservfer | upgrdman, sometimes i have better luck with it and it will download the dependences need for the package | 02:20 |
| upgrdman | webservfer, i tried it too, same deps. same problems :( | 02:20 |
| webservfer | upgrdman, what about the addition drivers program? | 02:21 |
| === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel | ||
| w0_ | hi. running 11.04, unity -- what do you call the bar that pops up on the left? quicklaunch? | 02:22 |

| webservfer | upgrdman, can you download the package you need? | 02:22 |
| upgrdman | webservfer, i tried using nvidias package. it has problems, the image gets scaled and looks like analog vga despite using dvi | 02:23 |

| cipherboy_loc | jrond2 I might be having similar issues. When I try to connect from my laptop to my desktop via SSH, or from my iPod to my desktop it reports key exchange error. | 02:42 |

| Praet0rian | cipherboy_loc, you'll have to remake yhour sshd private key btw when you upgrade | 02:43 |
| Raven | no angel56 i can't | 02:43 |
| angel56 | Raven: then there is a problem getting through the gateway | 02:43 |
| Raven | angel56 http://paste.ubuntu.com/695949/ this is my config | 02:44 |
| angel56 | Raven: that doesn't look right. .254 is the broadcast address for the network. The gateway is the hub address, which is usually .1 | 02:45 |
| angel56 | Raven: and your static ip should be something 'normal' I usually start my static IPs at 150 or 200. | 02:45 |
| angel56 | Raven: you need to make sure you don't use a static ip that the hub might reassign as dynamic to someone else. | 02:46 |
| Raven | angel56 that is the way I have it configured and have no problems with any other machine | 02:46 |
| angel56 | Raven: you have broadcast and gateway the same? | 02:46 |
| Raven | angel56 my dhcp has certain ip's blocked out for static assignment that is one of them | 02:46 |
| tonsofpcs | .254? | 02:47 |
| tonsofpcs | really? what kind of network is using .254 for broadcast? | 02:47 |
| Raven | it wont let me change the broadcast for some reason | 02:47 |
| angel56 | Raven: well, if that works it is magic I never saw before | 02:47 |
| angel56 | tonsofpcs: most networks use 254 for broadcast | 02:47 |
| Raven | it has worked for me for 5 years now | 02:47 |
| SubCool | Hey, someone help me with VNC. its acting weird. The screen goes black after two seconds. Its a very fast screen saver. | 02:48 |
| Tinybird | ususally, .254 is used as a net gate. | 02:49 |
| tonsofpcs | angel56: erm... .255 is broadcast in a /24 | 02:49 |
| angel56 | tonsofpcs: maybe it is 255 usually...been a long time. But he has both broadcast and gw on the same ip | 02:49 |

| zakidine | (calm down) okay, hum | 03:45 |
| sianhulo | somebody knows if ubuntu has a firewall that unable port forwadding? | 03:45 |
| zakidine | w0_, hi, my question, i've seen some weeks ago a board (macosx like) of an ubuntu gnome desktop | 03:46 |
| renancoelho | Hi there, is there a simple command to upgrade minitube to its latest version? Vids aren't working on it for me... | 03:46 |
| zakidine | that has the menu of an opened page on it | 03:46 |
| zakidine | just like macosx style | 03:46 |
| xangua | renancoelho: add minitube ppa | 03:46 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: Link or example please? | 03:46 |
| zakidine | i'm lookin for it, can't remember it name | 03:46 |
| w0_ | what about it seems like a mac? | 03:47 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Haxers/themers usually jsut has skills to make their desktop look like mac. | 03:47 |
| zakidine | Ubuntusawr[xD], if i had a link, i wouldnt be here | 03:47 |
| rocktop_ | redragon_: itdosn't work with me | 03:47 |
| w0_ | (I just got used to the top buttons on the left!! [yes, I know how to change that.]) | 03:47 |
| zakidine | w0_, yes but it's not a dock, like people answer me | 03:47 |
| w0_ | hmm | 03:47 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | It's a Global Menu bar. | 03:47 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | With notifications. | 03:47 |
| zakidine | Ubuntusawr[xD], humm a link? | 03:48 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Which I find rather sexy. Now if only we can make that appear at the botton. and WINDOW TITLE bar appears at the bottom too. | 03:48 |
| misaq | hello. how can I recover all my linux partitions and update my boot menu? | 03:48 |
| jtrucks | anyone have an estimate on how long an 8.04 LTS system upgrade to 10.04 LTS might take? (machine is on a pretty fast pipe and though a bit older isn't super pokey) | 03:48 |
| jtrucks | like... 2 hours? 4 hours? | 03:48 |
| w0_ | jtrucks >1hr | 03:49 |
| renancoelho | xangua: Thanks! | 03:49 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: Menu bar at top: http://cdn.ubergizmo.com/photos/2010/10/unity-ubuntu-one.jpg | 03:49 |
| rww | jtrucks: Depends on the package set. Does it have a desktop installed or is it server? Bunch of extra packages or no? | 03:49 |
| jtrucks | rww: headless server. no X | 03:49 |
| misaq | how can I recover my Linux partitions? | 03:49 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: So what are you really here asking for? A mac-like theme for Ubunut? | 03:49 |
| zakidine | too small i can't see it | 03:49 |
| renancoelho | xangua: but how do I add that? | 03:49 |
| jtrucks | rww: a fair number of extra packages, yes | 03:49 |
| zakidine | not a theme gosh, i'm lookin for that bar | 03:49 |
| zakidine | i want it | 03:49 |
| xangua | renancoelho: google add minitube ppa | 03:50 |
| misaq | how can I recover my Linux partitions if I had Ubuntu and then installed Red Hat Linux 9 on it? | 03:50 |
| renancoelho | xangua: ok, thanks! | 03:50 |
| rocktop_ | redragon_. the rules that you give me doesn't work , I have iptables -I INPUT -m geoip --src-cc CN -j DROP work pretty much | 03:50 |
| xangua | zakidine: if you mean a dock there are plenty of them, explain clear | 03:50 |
| rww | jtrucks: I'd guess an hour, two tops. Assuming the download is going to go quick and the installation is what will take up time. | 03:50 |
| xangua | docky, cairo dock, avant zakidine | 03:50 |
| misaq | can anyone help me? | 03:50 |
| jtrucks | cool. | 03:50 |
| jtrucks | yeah, I get 1 - 2 MB/s on this machine. | 03:50 |
| jtrucks | thanks folks. | 03:50 |

| Ubuntusawr[xD] | That top bar. | 03:51 |
| misaq | jtrucks: do you know how I can recover my Linux partitions? | 03:51 |
| rww | jtrucks: doing it remotely or locally? | 03:51 |
| jtrucks | misaq: If I knew, I would have answered. | 03:51 |
| jtrucks | rww: remote, w/ console access if needed. | 03:52 |
| zakidine | xangua, why do you guys hate me, i'm not talkin about a doc, nor a theme | 03:52 |
| almoxarife | misaq: you wrote over the partition and now want to restore what you wrote over? | 03:52 |
| rww | jtrucks: good good | 03:52 |
| jtrucks | last time I upgraded was a looong time ago, and I couldn't remember how long iit took. | 03:52 |
| KMNsadface | hello, has anyone used Rescatux to recover either Ubuntu/linux or Windows? | 03:52 |
| misaq | jtrucks: thanks. | 03:52 |
| zakidine | humm Ubuntusawr[xD] i disabled unity (not too much into it) should i unable it so i can have that? | 03:53 |
| jtrucks | rww: should I edit the grub menu before rebooting? I assume if I use the old kernel with new userland it won't boot, no? | 03:53 |
| loganhoup | I'm currently have problems attempting to get a proprietary driver running for my computer with an nvidia geforce 6150se graphics card. Can anyone help me? Unity works but I keep having random crashs where I get random video noise across my screen at an angle :/ | 03:53 |
| xangua | zakidine: then explain clear like I said | 03:53 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: It's redundant to have that in Unity anyway. Unless you're willing to Either use "Gnome Classic", or remove the unity Launcher tray. | 03:53 |
| sianhulo | see guys, i have tried 3 apps than need port forwadding, neither of them worked and 1 of them have upnp function, but still doesn't work | 03:53 |
| sianhulo | is ubuntu somehow blocking por forwadding? | 03:53 |
| === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 | ||
| rww | jtrucks: Ubuntu should try to do it itself. If you have your own GRUB stuff going on, then yeah, I'd check on it. | 03:53 |
| rww | jtrucks: wouldn't surprise me either way on it working or not | 03:53 |
| misaq | is there a tool to Find Linux partitions and update the boot grub? | 03:53 |
| jtrucks | rww: this is stock on boot. | 03:54 |
| jtrucks | never mucked with it | 03:54 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: The point of the Launcher tray on the LEFT side is like a windows 7 Task Bar. | 03:54 |
| rww | jtrucks: it should automatically switch it over then | 03:54 |
| jtrucks | sweet. | 03:54 |
| jtrucks | that's what happened on the last several upgrades... | 03:54 |
| redragon_ | rocktop_, post your rules real quick | 03:54 |
| jtrucks | this box has been around a while. | 03:54 |
| jtrucks | thanks for the tips | 03:54 |
| misaq | can anyone help me? | 03:54 |
| redragon_ | i'm packing up to go home wee | 03:55 |
| jtrucks | misaq: perhaps you should clarify what you mena by 'recover your partitions' | 03:56 |
| misaq | the name of tool? | 03:56 |
| zakidine | i don't know | 03:56 |
| zakidine | anyway thanks | 03:56 |
| zakidine | i'll go look for that by my self | 03:56 |
| zakidine | like a grown man, thank you guys again | 03:56 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: I know you can not have that "mac bar", without a dock or some program that does that. | 03:56 |
| zakidine | bonne nuit!! | 03:56 |
| misaq | jtrucks: where is that tool? | 03:56 |
| jtrucks | misaq: I meant you should explain more what it is you are trying to do. | 03:57 |
| jtrucks | misaq: for what? | 03:57 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Or some weird Desktop Environment. | 03:57 |
| jtrucks | you haven't clarified what it is you are trying to do... are you trying to recover the data that was overwritten with the new install? are you trying to mount old partitions that are not part of the OS? | 03:57 |
| jtrucks | soemthing else? | 03:57 |
| zakidine | Ubuntusawr[xD], i think i can, the page i had read did not talk about docks | 03:58 |
| KMNsadface | i had a tri boot Win7, WinXP and ubuntu.. i no longer wanted XP so i deleted the partition and resized my Win7 and Ubuntu and now i can't access any of them; my Win7 says unknown under Gparted.. what can i do to fix this | 03:58 |
| misaq | jtrucks: I had Ubuntu and XP on my system. then I installed Red Hat Linux 9 and now I can just boot Red Hat and XP. I want Ubuntu with them. | 03:58 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: Yea, that's what they would do sometimes. | 03:58 |
| _cb | Want to install ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server on a 40gb hard drive. Starting with desktop. Choose advanced partitioning utility. Do I make a 20 gig ext2 partition and install there? | 03:58 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Not mention it, they're creating an illusion. | 03:58 |
| jtrucks | misaq: fix your boot loader, perhaps. | 03:59 |
| jtrucks | is it grub? | 03:59 |
| misaq | jtrucks: yes. \how? | 04:00 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: When you do find it, please post the link here. :) | 04:00 |
| ex0s | yea booting ubuntu and redhat or fedora for that matter is difficult i was trying a few months back, ended up just using the grub boot diskk to access my ubuntu partitions | 04:01 |
| zakidine | yes i will :D | 04:01 |
| zakidine | thank you Ubuntusawr[xD] | 04:01 |
| zakidine | merci!! j'y vais | 04:01 |

| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: That's Unity menu. | 04:11 |
| loganhoup | Actually, even without the 3d stuff it crashes | 04:12 |
| loganhoup | and does the same thing... | 04:12 |
| starpwnage | could someone test and see if they can connect to my server: 121.216.66.97:8088 | 04:12 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: The Global Menu I mentioned earlier. | 04:12 |
| loganhoup | It's definitely more than just a 3d issue | 04:12 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Yea, it's mac-ish. That's a default feature. In fact, that's what Unity Is. | 04:12 |
| Name141 | Anyone know if I should be able to use a 4670 pretty well in Ubuntu ? | 04:12 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | zakidine: What version of Ubuntu are you using? This is available in Ubuntu 11.04 | 04:13 |
| Mokilok | @name141 You can download their ISO and boot it to test how it runs before installing. | 04:13 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Name141: 4670? | 04:14 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | starpwnage: Why not just proxy it? | 04:14 |
| Name141 | Mokilok: I had to RMA it, deciding to make this computer Ubuntu since the new machine is the gaming machine, so on so on.. Long story short, I'm wondering if I should keep the nVidia 8300 GS in the machine or switch back to the refurbished 4670 when it gets back ? | 04:14 |

| starpwnage | ubuntusawr, thank you for testing it for me :D! | 04:16 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | starpwnage: Is that a plain and simple apache? | 04:16 |
| starpwnage | It means ive finally set up my old computer as a server | 04:16 |
| starpwnage | ubuntusawr[XD], it has phpmyadmin installed as well as mysql and php5 | 04:17 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | starpwnage: http://www.litespeedtech.com/ <--- Heres what I been using as of lately and I like it. (php and apache on crack). | 04:17 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | A learning curve to it, but nice. | 04:17 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | starpwnage: You can just stick to what you have though. | 04:18 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Congratz. | 04:18 |
| starpwnage | yer, thanks though :D | 04:18 |
| starpwnage | i wish i could install cpanel :(, but its costly o.0 | 04:19 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Name141: What about that ATI card? | 04:19 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | starpwnage: Use ISP Config. | 04:19 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | It's free. | 04:19 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | It works. I use it on a remote server my friend owns. | 04:19 |
| Name141 | Ubuntusawr[xD]: Basically, I'm wondering if there is still the "Use nVidia when using Linux" war ? | 04:19 |
| starpwnage | alright, thanks for that to :P | 04:20 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | starpwnage: Theres even an ISPconfig demo. So destroy as much as you like there ;) | 04:20 |
| Mokilok | Name141: I'm running ATI 5870's with proprietry drivers fine. There was an initial dual display issue that was easily rectified | 04:21 |
| Mokilok | plenty of ATI /AMD support from what I can see | 04:21 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Name141: I have no idea. Although I was mentioned something about nVidia. YOu could always just try it. If Unity that's installed by default doesn't work out for you. Use: Unity-2d (another desktop environment just like Unity and Classic Ubuntu is). | 04:21 |
| Name141 | Mokilok: Alright. I'll pop the refurbished card in when it gets here then. If I want long lasting , and not much hassel , I imagine I want LTS' ? | 04:22 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | So far, I'm enjoying my Unity. (It's 2d, but eventually, that other Unity will finally have that bug fix for me). | 04:22 |
| Mokilok | Name141: Depends on the GUI you want. 11.04 is VERY windows 7'ish feel. I find it easier as a beginner | 04:23 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | <------------------- Enjoys this 11.04 | 04:24 |
| Mokilok | name141: I'm also not having much hassle with 11.04 but your call | 04:24 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | I have no hassle here. | 04:24 |
| Mokilok | name141: perhaps check out HCL's for both distro's. (Hardware Compatibility list) | 04:24 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Mokilok: How can I do that? | 04:25 |
| Name141 | Mokilok: That's something else, ever since after Hardy (intrepid?) my internal NIC wont work properly. Even with Windows 7 it doesn't. Must be something fishy with it. | 04:25 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Oh nvm | 04:25 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Dumb question. | 04:25 |
| zakidine | back, humm Ubuntusawr[xD] have you seen the picture? | 04:25 |
| Name141 | I have to rm e1000e, modprobe e1000e over and over till it 'connects'. or in Windows7 , disable/reenable | 04:25 |
| Name141 | er.. rmmod ? | 04:26 |
| Name141 | (I forgot, it's been a while) | 04:26 |
| Mokilok | Name141: If it doesn't work in windows with the latest drivers i'd start to suspect hardware. I mean it's always possible theres an IRQ conflict or something but the likelyhood of that on modern hardware is meh. | 04:27 |
| MasterOfMinutia | Anyone here know iptables halfway decently? I simply wish to change my outbount packet TTL. | 04:28 |

| Mokilok | Name141: Might be an idea, I'm a bit out of my depth when it comes to compiling drivers but it looks like that's what they are suggesting on the forum. They have a link to the source code. | 04:33 |

| BlackDalek | Is there anyone here who knows their way around Open Office Writer? My question - is there any shortcut key for "indent from here" similar to Apple's "Command+\" shortcut (used in InDesign for example) | 04:35 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Name141: You should just try this anyway. If you got a free drive, that will be nice. | 04:36 |
| Mokilok | Name141: Not every piece of hardware that works will be listed. | 04:36 |
| Name141 | Mokilok: oh. | 04:36 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | It helps to have people submitting test results and such. | 04:37 |
| Mokilok | Name141: I would just suggest booting off their ISO or USB to test all your hardware. If there are any issues you'll know about it there | 04:37 |
| Mokilok | Also gives you the oppertunity to test 10.4 LTS vs 11.04 and see which you prefer | 04:37 |

| urist_ | I'm actually using the "classic" gnome on my 11.04 | 04:50 |
| urist_ | unity was a bit too heavy for my piece of crap laptop | 04:50 |
| loganhoup | I'm currently have problems attempting to get a proprietary driver running for my computer with an nvidia geforce 6150se graphics card. Can anyone help me? Unity works but I keep having random crashs where I get random video noise across my screen at an angle :/ With default drivers and Unity off it still crashes too... | 04:50 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Hello all. | 04:51 |
| urist_ | Hello UbuntuBrandon | 04:51 |
| UbuntuBrandon | How is everyone? | 04:51 |
| urist_ | not too bad, yourself? | 04:51 |
| devish | UbuntuBrandon: f9 | 04:51 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Pretty good. A little tired. | 04:51 |
| urist_ | loganhoup, what version of ubuntu are u using? | 04:51 |
| devish | UbuntuBrandon: go to sleep | 04:52 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Lol, i've work to do. but i needed a little break. | 04:52 |
| devish | saturdays | 04:52 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | urist_: I thought unity was actually lighter in comparason. (In my own experience). For this reason. Metacity in Ubuntu Classic seems to bloat up once in a while. Getting heavy for some weird reason. It has gotten so bad, it ended up @ well over 400MB of memory and when I saw this in System Monitor, I decided it has gone way too far enough and then immediately killed the program. | 04:52 |
| mamakin | hello | 04:52 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Then I just started metacity again. (Things went all well afterwards). | 04:53 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Hi there mamakin. | 04:53 |
| mamakin | I am a new user starting up with ubuntu 11.04, trying to resurrect a dell inspiron 600m | 04:53 |
| UbuntuBrandon | I actually really like Unity. It is a lot better looking that the classic interface. | 04:53 |
| mamakin | i see many old problems with broadcom BCM4309 | 04:53 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | mamakin: Cool beans. | 04:53 |
| devish | Ubuntusawr[xD]: impressive | 04:53 |
| mamakin | I'm having a lot of trouble finding a more recent info on getting the wireless working... | 04:53 |
| urist_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], I started off with Unity, but after going back to classic I noticed a major improvement in performance | 04:54 |
| mamakin | any links/ideas? All the old files / news links are from 2007, etc. | 04:54 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Though, the directiong that 11.10 is going, I dislike how they moved the dash button to the launcher opposed to atop the screen. | 04:54 |
| mamakin | don't seem to apply, most reference ndsiwrapper | 04:54 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | mamakin: Okies. Maybe I can be of assistance. | 04:54 |
| mamakin | is there a more recent solution/etc? | 04:54 |
| urist_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], I use Unity on my desktop, and I have to say I love unity, but it just doesn't work as nicely with my laptop atm | 04:54 |
| Name141 | Ubuntusawr[xD]: Narwhal ? | 04:54 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | I'll need a memoment though. | 04:54 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Name141: Yes. | 04:54 |
| mamakin | i'm currenyl on puppy, which interestinyl works wonderfully | 04:54 |
| mamakin | instantly found card, wireless, .. very nice | 04:55 |
| Name141 | Ubuntusawr[xD]: what narwhal ? | 04:55 |
| mamakin | natty | 04:55 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Name141: 11.04 | 04:55 |
| mamakin | is that what you mean? | 04:55 |
| mamakin | (i'm still learning as I go here) | 04:55 |
| urist_ | UbuntuBrandon, you can change the launcher if you want. You can put the bar on the bottom, sort of a mac look if you want | 04:55 |
| loganhoup | urist: 11.04 | 04:55 |
| Name141 | oh.. | 04:55 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Technically there is only one Narwhal. lol | 04:55 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | mamakin: It's a cool Code name for versions of Ubuntu. They go by names of animals, paired to a nickname of that animal that matches the first letter of their name. | 04:56 |
| loganhoup | Urist_:11.04 natty narwhal | 04:56 |
| Name141 | I thought this was Charlie the Unicorn 3 for a min. | 04:56 |
| chirag_d_gr8 | when i installed ubuntu 11.04 using wubi, i saw boot time error like Bad LUN Bad numbers_1-10) | 04:56 |
| UbuntuBrandon | I know, I just hope there is infact a way to move the dash button back to the panel in 11.10. | 04:56 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Example: Mawerick Meercat. Natty Narwhal. Next version is Oneiric Ocelot (alphabetical order). | 04:56 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| rhin0 | what kernel does 11.04 have -- I'm reading this: Ubuntu 11.04 Upgrade Linux Kernel to 2.6.39.0 & wonder if the standard install with updates gives you 2.6.39.0 (or later) ... mouse cursor freezing issues with inspiron (dell) m5010 and 11.04 thinking to upgrade kernel as: http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-04-upgrade-linux-kernel-to-2-6-39-0 | 04:56 |
| urist_ | loganhoup, I've heard of some driver issues with people using 11.04... I get the impression they released a few too many new visual changes and it might not have been as polished as we'd like | 04:57 |
| rhin0 | not on machine in question | 04:57 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | UbuntuBrandon: Dash buttons? I'm a bit new to that term. | 04:57 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest49425 | ||
| xangua | !info linux | rhin0 | 04:57 |
| mamakin | Ubuntusawr[xD]: so yes, natty narwhal | 04:57 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Ubuntusawr[xD] the button, like the start button for windows. | 04:57 |
| ubottu | rhin0: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.38.11.26 (natty), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) | 04:57 |
| mamakin | 11.04 | 04:57 |
| urist_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], I dont know the names of the bars either :P | 04:58 |
| rhin0 | so I stand a chance by upgrading the kernel | 04:58 |
| rhin0 | because natty is that 11.04 has 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 is available | 04:58 |
| henningvis | I am not alone at last Ubuntusawr[xD] | 04:58 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: Yes. I'm on Linux 3.0 kernal. | 04:58 |
| Name141 | Seems I only have 10.04.2 downloaded on a disk. What features would I be missing out with if I use the LTS vs the 11.04 ? | 04:58 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | henningvis: Hehe, havin fun? | 04:59 |
| henningvis | yip | 04:59 |
| urist_ | UbuntuBrandon, I have to say, after experimenting a bit with the lenses, I much prefer the unity search box over the windows start button... I think it's more of a matter of getting used to it | 04:59 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Geeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwdddddd. | 04:59 |
| rhin0 | what should I upgrade to to get rid of a cursor freezing issue on 11.04 with inspiron laptop m5010 - cursor freezes rest of system ok -- what kernel is stable etc Ubuntusawr[xD] | 04:59 |
| rhin0 | i'm running out of ideas | 04:59 |
| henningvis | staring and learning --also new to this world and it is facinating | 04:59 |
| Name141 | Anything spectacular on 11.04 I would miss ? | 04:59 |
| === eric is now known as Guest16689 | ||
| UbuntuBrandon | urist_ I love the Unity interface. The dash lenses are excellent, by far my favorite UI of any OS. | 05:00 |
| urist_ | UbuntuBrandon, amen... I think they are onto something. 11.10 looks even better from the pictures I saw | 05:00 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Name141: Tons. | 05:00 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | mamakin: TBH, for finding out recent info on WIFI, I usually just simply google that. Or jsut upgrade until it works. I used to have a wifi problem, and I followed a tutorial for my wifi card to work. | 05:00 |
| Name141 | UbuntuBrandon: so it's worth downloading the other ISO? | 05:01 |
| rhin0 | maybe I go to 3.0 Ubuntusawr[xD] | 05:01 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | What's the name of the wifi-card in question? Is that used on a desktop or a laptop? | 05:01 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: Sure thing. | 05:01 |
| loganhoup | Urist_ Well, my problem seems to persist without any visual effects at all. | 05:01 |
| qin | Name141: Oneiric looks even better, you canskip Natty. | 05:01 |
| rhin0 | whats the recommended stable latest pls Ubuntusawr[xD] | 05:01 |
| UbuntuBrandon | urist_ I am onlt afraid that since they moved the Dash button to the launcher instead of on the panel bar, that we cant move it back | 05:01 |
| Name141 | qin: That's in Beta | 05:01 |
| qin | Name141: Soon | 05:01 |
| rhin0 | this is all good gives me hope | 05:01 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Name141 Go to Natty. Oneric is in beta and not safe to really use until Oct. 13. | 05:02 |
| rhin0 | i've wasted a day | 05:02 |
| Name141 | qin: How soon? like 2 weeks soon ? | 05:02 |
| starpwnage | how do i copy stuff to my /var/www folder in ubuntu? how do i get the permission? | 05:02 |
| qin | Name141: Something like this. | 05:02 |
| rhin0 | sudo cp stawpwnage better to do it from /var/www | 05:02 |
| rocktop | when I use this rules I couldn't ping : http://fpaste.org/rUR9/ | 05:02 |
| rocktop | anyidea ? | 05:02 |
| Name141 | qin: I might just wait then. Since I'm on limited bandwidth (425 MBs per rolling 24 hours) | 05:02 |
| urist_ | loganhoup, not sure I know how to help you | 05:02 |
| starpwnage | what do you mean rhin0? | 05:02 |
| rhin0 | good grief Name141 that must be hard | 05:02 |
| UbuntuBrandon | qin, Oneric is set for Final Release on October 13. | 05:03 |
| mamakin_ | sorry, I was waiting for ideas on BCM4309 for natty narwhal | 05:03 |
| Name141 | rhin0: 1-6 AM is 'open'. Doesn't count towards the limit, but only can get 1.8-2.0 GBs in. | 05:03 |
| rhin0 | you get a command shell cd to the /var/www then cp (source directory path)/* (destination directory path) | 05:03 |
| mamakin_ | puppy works well, but firefox crashes a lot :) | 05:03 |
| urist_ | UbuntuBrandon, oh i see. Well even if that's the case, I'm sure something will come out so that we can modify that too... | 05:03 |
| starpwnage | ok thanks | 05:03 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: http://techtimely.wordpress.com/2011/08/19/install-linux-kernel-3-0-on-ubuntu-11-04/ | 05:03 |
| rhin0 | the cp command is "copy" starpwnage | 05:03 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | I followed that tutorial. | 05:04 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Name141 You really should get 11.04 (Natty) so when Oneric comes out, you will understand the new interface. | 05:04 |
| rhin0 | you need sudo starpwnage because the /var/www directory is protected | 05:04 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: If it fails the first time. Do not panic, and use: sudo dpkg -i linux-* | 05:04 |
| UbuntuBrandon | urist_ I am sure. lol | 05:04 |
| Name141 | UbuntuBrandon: I have the 64 bit version of that downloaded, but not the 32 bit. | 05:04 |
| rhin0 | sudo gives you super user rights | 05:04 |
| Name141 | UbuntuBrandon: This machine only has 2GBs of RAM | 05:04 |
| rhin0 | ty very much Ubuntusawr[xD] | 05:04 |
| UbuntuBrandon | name141 do you only have a 32 bit processor? | 05:04 |
| Name141 | UbuntuBrandon: Probably, E2160. but it's slow. | 05:05 |
| UbuntuBrandon | Name141 2gb is plenty. | 05:05 |
| mamakin_ | Ubuntusawr[xD] did you have a suggestion? | 05:05 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: Is it really necessary? And don't mind me, I got a case of SNS.. Shiny New Shit Syndrome | 05:05 |
| zelozelos | i compiled freedroidRPG and installed it via make install, unknowing that i may need it, i deleted the source files such and now i want to remove it b/c its not working correctly, what do i do? | 05:05 |
| Name141 | UbuntuBrandon: Windows 7 64bit would use 1.5GBs doing nothing. So I'm basing the 64bit vs 32bit off of Windows 7's useage.. | 05:05 |
| starpwnage | so i have cd'd to the destination | 05:06 |
| rhin0 | gr8 Ubuntusawr[xD] | 05:06 |
| starpwnage | so then i do cp /folder1/folder2/text.php /* /var/ww | 05:06 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | mamakin_: Using "Broadcom BCM4309 802.11a/b/g"? | 05:07 |
| urist_ | anybody here knows of a good software for doing statistics on linux? | 05:07 |
| rhin0 | no ... starpwnage : cd to the /var/www then from that directory type cp /pathname of files you want in varwww/* <- /* gets them all then a . but put "sudo" before it | 05:07 |
| rhin0 | you must learn how to use the cp command really starpwnage and learn a bit about cp and then learn about file access rights ls -l gives you the access rights of the files | 05:08 |
| rhin0 | if you are manipulating files | 05:08 |
| UbuntuBrandon_ | sorry, internet pooped. | 05:08 |
| UbuntuBrandon_ | Name141 you see what i said? | 05:08 |
| rhin0 | never done this through nautilus (gui) not sure if it is possible starpwnage | 05:08 |
| Name141 | UbuntuBrandon_ : Windows 7 64bit would use 1.5GBs doing nothing. So I'm basing the 64bit vs 32bit off of Windows 7's useage..And fuctioning | 05:08 |
| Name141 | no | 05:08 |
| rhin0 | copying files can be DANGEROUS with sudo starpwnage | 05:08 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: And do not remove the old kernel please. (apt-get / update manager will eventually say something about "packages that should be removed etc".) Just don't remove. Lol. | 05:09 |
| UbuntuBrandon_ | name141 your processor is 64 it, and with that and 2gb of ram, Natty would (should) run fine. | 05:09 |

| teamcoltra | Is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8284273 still the best guide for removing pulseaudio and using only ALSA? | 05:29 |

| ubottu | teamcoltra: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 05:29 |
| teamcoltra | :P Yeah but I was debating on how to spell oneiric so I figured to go with ocelot, unless you are referring to the fact that I am asking for advice on a release that isn't out yet | 05:30 |
| rww | teamcoltra: Yup. #ubuntu is for <= 11.04 right now. See #ubuntu+1. | 05:31 |
| Shirakawasuna | teamcoltra: what they mean is that you want to go to #ubuntu-1 for that question | 05:31 |
| Shirakawasuna | err #ubuntu+1 | 05:31 |
| raj-darkmystery | how can i get the details of incoming and outgoing traffic in mysql? | 05:32 |
| rhin0 | oneiric means "dreamy" | 05:33 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: You're better off doing this in terminal then. Make a new folder named kernel. cd into that kernel folder you JUST made. wget download the three kernel files. Then use the command that installs the kernals. | 05:34 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: Oh wait, duh, you were JUST using the terminal. Lol, silly me | 05:34 |
| bullgard4 | What does this response mean: '~$ sudo dhclient eth0; RTNETLINK answers: File exists.'? | 05:34 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Oneiric? Why Oneiric? | 05:34 |
| rhin0 | its not a problem Ubuntusawr[xD] i'm completely re-installing (not locked up now) (blanked) | 05:34 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | I was hoping for an octopus or something. | 05:35 |

| Shinka | I really like Unity but I prefer the standard Gnome Shell, since Ubuntu is moving to Gnome3 for Ubuntu 11.10 will it be easy to get Gnome Shell running ? | 05:35 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: Okay. But I still wish for a sea creature, something more unique. | 05:35 |
| SubCool | could someone assist me, its been a while. | 05:35 |
| rhin0 | whats up subcool | 05:36 |
| teamcoltra | :) I am glad it's named ocelot otherwise I would have never known of the creature... then again... now that I do I want to capture one and make it my pet because their are so F'ing sexy... | 05:36 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Shinka: Unity is based on Gnome 3. | 05:36 |
| bullgard4 | !ask | SubCool | 05:36 |
| ubottu | SubCool: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 05:36 |
| rww | bullgard4: may I PM you about something, please? | 05:36 |
| rhin0 | we're all going to have to LEARN unity ... np. is better anyway | 05:36 |
| bullgard4 | rww: Yes, please. | 05:36 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | rhin0: Agreed. | 05:36 |
| SubCool | rhin0, i just installed ext4, Twiligtzone Kernel, SyndicateROm onto EPIC, but now that it is on, for some reason is says my Phone STorage is full. | 05:37 |
| rhin0 | way out of my understnding of packages sorry subcool ask somone else | 05:37 |
| SubCool | k- thanks... | 05:37 |
| rhin0 | dunno what any of that is | 05:37 |
| rhin0 | there is a way to get disk space on a device by typing "df" on the mount SubCool | 05:38 |
| rhin0 | then you could look around and see if the mounted device is actually full (and of what) | 05:38 |
| SubCool | rhin0, it says full | 05:38 |
| rhin0 | maybe it is | 05:38 |
| SubCool | it cant be | 05:38 |
| SubCool | its a fresh install | 05:38 |
| SubCool | i just got hte phone back from Samsung | 05:38 |
| fnordz | so there's something tweaky w/ my g/f's lenovo ideapad and ubuntu, the laptop has both a hard and soft wifi kill switch of sorts, can w/ f key press, or an actual switch on laptop… somehow though seems to indicate the hard switch is off every boot though, even when it's on | 05:39 |
| Shinka | I wonder how stable is the second beta. I might try it on my laptop :P | 05:39 |
| SubCool | i also dont have a cmd prompt for it | 05:39 |
| c4pt | hi i am trying to kill a process with kill -9 5680 (but the process wont quit) | 05:39 |

| c4pt | how can i kill dpkg ? | 05:41 |
| SubCool | bg 1 | 05:41 |
| c4pt | kill -9 and kill -15 isnt working | 05:41 |
| SubCool | i doubt u wanna kill it- otherwise ur package manager will be locked | 05:41 |
| c4pt | you mean fg 1 | 05:41 |
| SubCool | type bg | 05:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Install unp unrar rar p7zip-full p7zip-rar and you'll be fine :-) | 05:42 |
| c4pt | (foreground 1) | 05:42 |
| SubCool | ubuntu bg works for me | 05:42 |
| SubCool | w.e. | 05:42 |
| c4pt | SubCool: i killed %1 when i hit crtl-z :/ | 05:42 |
| c4pt | SubCool: so its not in bg or fg anymore | 05:42 |
| SubCool | so u hung it | 05:42 |
| c4pt | SubCool: but the process is still running | 05:42 |
| SubCool | reboot and hope ur package manager isnt locked | 05:42 |
| c4pt | SubCool: :( cant reboot i have two guest operating systems open and my host is doing tons of shit | 05:43 |
| SubCool | gotta wait then | 05:43 |
| SubCool | u ghosted the installed | 05:43 |
| SubCool | its doing the work and no longer has a PID to refer too. | 05:43 |
| SubCool | child or parent.. | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | SubCool: it will lock the packages if you reboot during updates | 05:43 |
| SubCool | u have to reboot- there might be a way to clear it otherwise, but thats not my turf | 05:43 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Anyone mind telling me how many Channel Ops are on the access list? (Nothing special, I'm only curious). | 05:44 |
| SubCool | ActionParsnip, you would know better, he killed an updated. but no longer has control of it- its just hanging and taking up cpu | 05:44 |

| Colin969_ | Since every other IRC channel I have any real knowledge of is dead or ignorant. In Java, would I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("Commands"); For Linux still? | 05:45 |
| jtrucks | is it normal for a release upgrade to pause for a few minutes during the setting up stuff and conig file installs? | 05:45 |
| ActionParsnip | SubCool: if its hung for sure, kill it. Could try foreground by PID to see whats going on | 05:45 |
| SubCool | ActionParsnip, thats the thing, he did kill it- and now its really hung. | 05:46 |
| Colin969_ | Great, so nobody here knows? =/ | 05:46 |

| koa | hello | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Hi koa | 05:58 |
| koa | can you help me with something plz :) | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Ask and see :-) | 05:59 |
| SadlyMistaken | what's happending? a problem? | 05:59 |
| koa | allright i wanna make a kernel for my i7 to get better performance | 05:59 |
| koa | how can i do that in easy way ? | 05:59 |
| koa | :F <<< | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Koa: could compile it with better options and remove features you don't need. | 06:00 |
| koa | yes that how can i do it ? | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Koa: if you wa | 06:01 |
| koa | how do i compile it ? | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Want a better desktop performance you can use a lighter desktop like xfce or lxde | 06:01 |
| koa | T_T i love gnome | 06:02 |
| jtrucks | can /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.1.postinst take a long time during the upgrade, or is it possible there is a curses screen that ought to be displaying that isn't? | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !kernel | koa its not a | 06:02 |
| ubottu | koa its not a: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Its not an easy task but its a great skill to have | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Koa: you can use gnome apps in other DEs without issue. Lighter DEs free up the CPU more as they | 06:04 |
| koa | btw more question i have non-open nvidia driver will this compile effect it ? | 06:04 |
| koa | ok here is the thing lol >< i played with kernels | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Need less speed to run, this allows CPUs to clock down and use less power | 06:05 |
| koa | i fear it will effect my wine games | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Koa: you have the ker | 06:05 |
| koa | cos i'm runing them all nice | 06:05 |
| koa | here is my kernel | 06:05 |
| koa | kernel linux 2.6.38.11-generic-pae | 06:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Kernel headers which are needed. I've not built a kernel with proprietary drivers. Have a go. Could be fun | 06:06 |
| koa | XD i'll give it a try | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Koa: so what is your actual issue? Why do you want to mess with the kernel? | 06:07 |
| koa | coz hmm more more i want more lol >< | 06:07 |
| koa | i never know when to quit XD | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Koa: how much ram do you have? | 06:08 |
| koa | 4 | 06:08 |
| KMNsadface | hi, im having problems booting into Windows and my ubuntu; im on tri-boot and it only allows me to get into my Backtrack5 R1.. | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Koa: look at sysctl.conf for setting vm.swappiness set it to about 10. You can also use the file to make the web a bit quicker | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | K | 06:10 |
| koa | already did that | 06:10 |
| koa | but i put it to 0 | 06:10 |
| koa | i don't want it to use swap | 06:10 |
| koa | never mind it i guess it rlly good i try wheni shold stop | 06:11 |
| koa | 1 last question | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | KMNsadface: you should ask in the backtrack channel then | 06:12 |
| koa | how can i back up the whole ubuntu | 06:12 |
| koa | with the programs and etc | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !backup | koa | 06:12 |
| ubottu | koa: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 06:12 |
| KMNsadface | ActionParsnip: backtrack is working fine.. win7 and ubuntu wont boot though | 06:12 |
| rocktop | I use this rules then I couldn't ping to anything http://pastebin.com/1Nfvq1Sv anyidea how to allow outgoing traffics ? | 06:13 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | koa: 4GB of ram? | 06:13 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Are you mad? | 06:13 |
| koa | yep | 06:13 |
| koa | lol why | 06:13 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Kernel should be the last thing you should ever be touching unless it's to do with hardware and what not. | 06:13 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | I'm using 1GB of ram here. | 06:14 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | And yes my puter is very old. | 06:14 |

| joel135 | hello #ubuntu! how do I configure my desktop to translate "example" to "google.com" when using ping, firefox etc? | 06:33 |
| urlin2u | SadlyMistaken, I see with a quick web search that there can be problems, you might test this your self, there are shared font. | 06:33 |
| joel135 | so that ping example would give me the ip 173.194.32.18, for example | 06:34 |
| SadlyMistaken | urlin2u i don't find any explanations when i did a web search of the problem. Thanks a lot anyway | 06:35 |
| Loshki | joel135: you can add entries to /etc/hosts (which maps names into ip addresses)... | 06:36 |
| Petskull | Hey guys, I want to download some packages after my roomie steps out in about 3 hours. How do I do that? Do I have to set up a cron job or something? | 06:36 |
| joel135 | Loshki: thanks! I'll look into it | 06:37 |
| Petskull | basically I want to run 'sudo apt-get install xchat' at a certain time | 06:37 |
| Flannel | Petskull: for one-time things like this, you can use 'at' | 06:38 |
| Flannel | Its sort of like cron, but only does it once | 06:38 |
| Petskull | hmm | 06:38 |
| Petskull | at what? | 06:38 |

| Petskull | ah, duh | 06:44 |
| Petskull | shoulda seen that coming | 06:44 |
| Flannel | Petskull: after you add something, you can see it with 'atq' (or sudo atq if you've added it to root's queue) | 06:44 |

| Tom_ | I thought xchat was a program comparable to mIRC | 06:47 |
| Myrtti | Tom_: yes? | 06:47 |
| Flannel | Petskull: You can't do anything that interacts with the user. Because it doesn't know which xserver to connect to, or which tty, etc, etc. | 06:47 |
| Petskull | hmmm | 06:47 |
| deepak_ | what is tty and etc ? | 06:47 |

| Petskull | so I want to set it to start after he leaves | 06:54 |
| Petskull | Flannel, does this make sense? | 06:55 |
| Flannel | Petskull: No, no, what are you doing with at? | 06:56 |
| Petskull | I'm trying to use 'at' to run this 'sudo apt' line at a certain time | 06:57 |
| Petskull | ...like you suggested | 06:57 |
| Flannel | Petskull: What exactly are you doing (with your test case) to enter the line into at? | 06:58 |
| soreau | Petskull: Why not just use a quick-n-dirty method such as logging in as root, then running sleep 65000; apt-get install blah blah blah | 06:58 |
| Petskull | ls>/home/petskull/file.txt|at 11:22 | 06:58 |
| MeanEYE | Haha, just read that guys comment on Xchat :)... had to laught. | 06:58 |
| Petskull | that could work | 06:58 |
| Petskull | lemme try | 06:58 |
| Petskull | that 65000 is millisecs, right? | 06:59 |
| soreau | Petskull: sleep --help | 06:59 |
| soreau | might be useful here | 06:59 |
| Petskull | gotcha- should just man sleep before asking | 06:59 |
| tsaknorris | hmm i know something about aliases, but i dont understand why him in this example put them to this own folder. because they have to be always under .bashrc to work right? | 07:00 |
| tsaknorris | http://www.howtogeek.com/73768/how-to-use-aliases-to-customize-ubuntu-commands/ | 07:00 |
| Flannel | Petskull: That command works fine here to adding it to the at queue. | 07:00 |
| soreau | Petskull: You'll also want apt-get --force-yes -y install blah blah blah | 07:00 |
| dollarcrab | is it possible to tell my laptop "yes you are plugged in" so that it will let me charge the battery? | 07:00 |
| Flannel | soreau, Petskull: you never want --force-yes | 07:00 |
| soreau | Flannel: Sure you do ;) | 07:00 |
| Flannel | soreau: No, you don't. | 07:01 |
| Petskull | yeah, I read up in the apt forcing | 07:01 |
| Petskull | no? | 07:01 |
| Flannel | Petskull: No. | 07:01 |
| soreau | Flannel: If you *never* want that option, it would have been removed from apt-get's code | 07:01 |
| Petskull | why not? | 07:01 |
| Flannel | Petskull: Unless you feel like coming home to a broken system tomorrow. | 07:01 |
| Petskull | um... no | 07:01 |
| soreau | Flannel: How could it possibly break something? | 07:01 |
| Petskull | that would be bad | 07:01 |
| Flannel | Petskull: If you have to force it to yes, it's asking if you really want to do something you shouldn't. | 07:01 |
| tsaknorris | soreau: it install new kernerl etc... | 07:02 |
| Flannel | soreau: How would --force-yes be useful? | 07:02 |
| tsaknorris | soreau: kernel :D | 07:02 |
| Petskull | no- I just need to bypass the confirmation as I won't be here | 07:02 |
| amin` | how could I start dzen with icon set? | 07:02 |
| soreau | Flannel: -y alone does not work.. it will fail with 'you didnt say --force-yes' | 07:02 |
| Petskull | how would I do that? | 07:02 |
| Flannel | Petskull: that's what -y does | 07:02 |
| Petskull | it's gonna ask me.. | 07:02 |
| Mokilok | How do I change the Icon of a link? | 07:02 |
| Loshki | Petskull: instead of forcing yes, how about using -d instead to do the download unattended, then do the actual install when you're there later.... | 07:02 |
| Petskull | ok, gonna try it with just -y | 07:02 |
| Petskull | hey- that's not a bad idea | 07:03 |
| Flannel | soreau, Petskull: from the man page (regarding -y): Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run non-interactively. If an undesirable situation, such as changing a held package, trying to install a unauthenticated package or removing an essential package occurs then apt-get will abort. | 07:03 |
| Petskull | except the install is pretty lengthy on its own | 07:03 |
| MeanEYE | Mokilok: Well icons are mainly detected by extension and in some cases by content. So rename it. :D | 07:03 |
| Flannel | So, there's your few examples of things that --force-yes will do, which will not make you a happy camper. | 07:03 |
| Petskull | yeah, that makes senc | 07:03 |
| Petskull | e | 07:03 |
| MeanEYE | Mokilok: unless the link is a directory in which case there isn't really anything you can change :D | 07:04 |
| tsaknorris | so now i need the answer why to put aliases own folder and not to .bashrc where they will work if you restart the shell etc... | 07:04 |
| soreau | Flannel: Well ISTR -y failing with '-y given without --force-yes. aborting' but that no longer seems to be the case | 07:04 |
| jtrucks | oh god. | 07:04 |
| jtrucks | so. | 07:04 |
| soreau | Flannel: It's been awhile since I used it | 07:04 |
| tsaknorris | is there secret stuff what i dont know or is he just pointing to that folder under .bashrc? | 07:04 |
| * soreau sits corrected | 07:04 | |
| MeanEYE | tsaknorris: There is no difference in that. It's only a matter of organisation. They'll work either way. | 07:05 |
| Mokilok | The link is for Heroes of Newerth x64 executable. The game opens fine but the link is a plain gray Ubuntu Icon. When I select the Emblems tab in properties the default HoN icons are not one of the selectable options | 07:05 |
| MeanEYE | Mokilok: Then you want to create a .desktop file and define icon there. | 07:05 |
| jtrucks | what do I do with my system when this happens: http://paste.ubuntu.com/696032/ | 07:06 |
| tsaknorris | MeanEYE: hmmm not automaticly. .bashrc is only place atleast in my system? because i opened new shell and it doesnt work there. | 07:07 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Seems to me that your /etc/apt/sources.list file is corrupt or has a bad format. Check that first. | 07:07 |
| jtrucks | sources.list: symbolic link to usr/share/man/man1/mactime-sleuthkit.1.gz' | 07:07 |
| jtrucks | seems like a problem there, eh | 07:07 |
| jtrucks | ? | 07:07 |
| jtrucks | so how do I fix that and have the upgrade pick up where it left off? | 07:07 |
| jtrucks | is that possible? | 07:07 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: sources.list should be a plaintext file. | 07:08 |
| MeanEYE | tsaknorris: Can you give me that link again. I just dropped in without actually looking what that guy said. | 07:08 |
| tsaknorris | http://www.howtogeek.com/73768/how-to-use-aliases-to-customize-ubuntu-commands/ | 07:08 |
| Petskull | ok, my line is this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc mplayer mencoder build-essential xchat frozen-bubble banshee libxine1-ffmpeg xchat-gnome wine openarena stellarium celestia blender bootchart sysv-rc-conf compizconfig-settings-manager emerald barrage hedgewars chromium pacman pingus warzone2100 snes9x-gtk transmission code-blocks geany libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev ubuntu-tweak | 07:09 |
| MeanEYE | tsaknorris: Ok, now repeat the question if you don't mind. :) Just to make sure I don't give you an stupid answer. | 07:10 |
| tsaknorris | MeanEYE: wait. i dont have same name folder i have just .aliases. does it really have to be same name .bash_aliases? | 07:10 |
| Petskull | hey- what's the name of the ubuntu-tweak package? | 07:11 |
| Petskull | did it change? | 07:11 |
| jtrucks | MeanEYE: where can I find a correct copy of the sources.list file? I assume my original is no longer correct, which it copied to sources.list.distUpgrade. | 07:11 |
| urlin2u | Petskull, you have to add the ppa | 07:11 |
| rww | Petskull: ubuntu-tweak isn't in Ubuntu's repositories and isn't supported here. | 07:11 |
| Petskull | oh... I know what happened | 07:11 |
| Petskull | I added it, but I didn't update my cache | 07:11 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Your upgrade failed? | 07:12 |
| jtrucks | MeanEYE: yes. | 07:12 |
| MeanEYE | tsaknorris: It's not a folder, it's a plain text file. | 07:12 |
| jtrucks | that paste was the output of the failure notice :( | 07:13 |
| tsaknorris | MeanEYE: yeah i ment that :D sorry my folder is just text file, but still can you get it to work? | 07:13 |
| Fargh | good morning | 07:13 |
| Loshki | Petskull: you forgot the -y .... | 07:13 |
| jtrucks | so first I need to get the correct file. then I have to figure out how to restart this process (hopefully where it left off) | 07:13 |
| Petskull | "Need to get 822 MB of archives."... Jeez, that's gonna take days.. | 07:14 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Then original should have .distUpgrade appended. Before renaming check if the original is ok. Do an update first before upgrading! | 07:14 |
| Fargh | anyone here wanna help me with fixing apt ? | 07:14 |
| MeanEYE | tsaknorris: Give me a moment please. | 07:14 |
| Petskull | Loshki, I know, I just wanted to make sure all the packages were good | 07:14 |
| * jtrucks got 409MB earlier in about 4 min. | 07:14 | |
| tsaknorris | MeanEYE: ok, maybe easiest way is to make line to .bashrc what points to that own alias file. hmm but that it would work without .bashrc is weird :D | 07:15 |
| Fargh | when installing any package i get the following message : E: File does not exist: /usr/share/cli-common/packages.d/policy.2.6.gtk-dotnet.installcligac | 07:15 |
| Fargh | anyone has an idea ? | 07:16 |
| Corey | Fargh: Yeah, hang on... | 07:16 |
| Fargh | dpkg: error processing libgtk2.0-cil (--remove): | 07:16 |
| urlin2u | Fargh, can you run a update? | 07:16 |
| Fargh | update yes | 07:16 |
| MeanEYE | tsaknorris: tsaknorris: Ok. Inside of your .bashrc you have something that looks like `if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then`. That's the line that loads the .bash_aliases file. You can change it to whatever you want. I'd suggest reading http://stefaanlippens.net/my_bashrc_aliases_profile_and_other_stuff as it has some nice explanations and examples. | 07:17 |
| Fargh | apt-get -f install <-- fails | 07:17 |
| Corey | Fargh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1666312 | 07:17 |
| Petskull | 21hours... this is almost a moot point.. | 07:17 |
| Fargh | doesnt work Corey ... tried that already | 07:17 |
| tsaknorris | MeanEYE: thanks :) im just confused coz i made that .bash_aliases and it didnt still work :D lol wait i will check everything twice and thank you :) | 07:18 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: If the .distUpgrade file is Ok, meaning it's a plain text file with a bunch of lines starting with deb and deb-src... All you need to do is rename existing souces.list to something like sources.list.invalid and rename .distUpgrade file to original file name. Do apt-get update and upgrade. Then you can just restart distribution upgrade without problems. | 07:18 |
| MeanEYE | tsaknorris: Don't mention it. If you still have problems let me know. | 07:18 |
| jtrucks | MeanEYE: oh, cool. I'll try that. | 07:20 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Just don't remove any files. Renaming them is enough. Just in case you need to revert something back. | 07:20 |
| Petskull | getting rid of openarena and warzone kicks it down to 'just' 411MB which should about halve the ETA | 07:20 |
| jtrucks | yeah, I copied them. | 07:21 |
| Petskull | ok, leaving this working- thanks, guys! | 07:21 |
| jtrucks | the problem turns out that sources.list was, inexplicably, a link to some man page gz file. | 07:21 |
| Loshki | MeanEYE: tsaknorris: my 10.04 .bashrc doesn't contain any such statement, and my bash man page doesn't say anything about .bash_aliases. What version are you guys running? | 07:21 |
| Corey | I have ubuntu in a weird half-configured state. Hangs indefinitely when removing gdm. | 07:22 |
| Corey | How do I forcibly remove it? | 07:22 |
| Petskull | thanks guys!! | 07:22 |
| * Petskull *gone | 07:22 | |
| MeanEYE | Loshki: am on Mint at the moment. It's really a distro specific thing. URL I gave describes how to set aliases in external file. So, in my .bashrc I have few alises and I don't have .bash_aliases file. :D | 07:23 |
| MeanEYE | Corey: Do you have a different DM? Like LightDM? | 07:23 |
| Corey | MeanEYE: It's headless, should have nothing. :-) | 07:24 |
| MeanEYE | Corey: Did you try aptitude? | 07:24 |
| Corey | MeanEYE: Yes. | 07:24 |
| Corey | Hangs forever on Removing gdm ... | 07:25 |
| jtrucks | MeanEYE: so I do: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; do-release-upgrade | 07:25 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Yes. If I remember correctly do-release-upgrade is a python script so it directly depends on a state of python interpretter. Hence the reason for upgrade first. | 07:25 |
| rabbi1 | can't i skype from pidign ? | 07:25 |
| rabbi1 | * can't i skype from pidgin ? | 07:25 |
| jtrucks | so, will this have to do everything all over again? | 07:25 |
| MeanEYE | rabbi1: No, skype is a proprietary code. No OSS there. | 07:26 |
| Loshki | MeanEYE: but the web page claims to be for ubuntu, so it would be nice if it worked on the current ubuntu LTS, or if not, a note to that effect might be less confusing. | 07:26 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Except for downloading already downloaded files. If you want that cleaned you have to apt-get clean | 07:26 |
| rabbi1 | MeanEYE: thx, :( | 07:26 |
| MeanEYE | rabbi1: Google talk can be called using pidgin... with video/audio. | 07:26 |
| MeanEYE | rabbi1: And to be honest my advice would be to get rid of Skype. Spyware is not something we need in Linux community. :D | 07:27 |
| jtrucks | MeanEYE: so if all the packages are alrady installed, it will skip the install? This was at the very end of the upgrade process. | 07:27 |
| rabbi1 | MeanEYE: yeah, i am using it... :) | 07:27 |
| hellofoo | OSS? | 07:27 |
| rabbi1 | MeanEYE: can't help for few client communications | 07:27 |
| jtrucks | hellofoo: Open Source Software | 07:27 |
| MeanEYE | Loshki: Ubuntu can change from version to version so don't rely too much on it. If you don't see that file executing add that line (source file) | 07:28 |
| MeanEYE | rabbi1: I feel your paing although everyone has a GMail account today and Google+ being open you have a nice free conferencing software which is not closed and not forced down your throat. | 07:28 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Hm, yeah. I think. With previous upgrade, did it download everything and crashed after that or it didn't even get the chance to download them ? | 07:29 |
| Loshki | MeanEYE: thanks, I'll take care of it... | 07:30 |
| rabbi1 | MeanEYE: can's ask them to use :) . | 07:30 |
| MeanEYE | Loshki: Basically if [ -f file ] means if file exists. The line `source ~/.bash_aliases` means include this file. | 07:30 |
| MeanEYE | rabbi1: I know. Sadly not all people are flexible. | 07:31 |
| jtrucks | MeanEYE: it downloded everything, went through the upgrade process through installation, then was doing the 'setting up' series of stuff, then it said it was searching for obsolete software, then it had the crash in the paste I first posted. | 07:31 |
| jtrucks | MeanEYE: so, should I s/hardy/lucid/ in sources.list and then do update && upgrade? | 07:31 |
| rabbi1 | Every time i run this update manager, google-chrome-stable loads about 20 MB. what will be there to update so much in chrome every time ? | 07:31 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Hm, weird. Then .distUpgrade file is not valid anymore. But am not exactly sure what happened. | 07:31 |
| jtrucks | k. | 07:32 |
| MeanEYE | rabbi1: In difference to microsoft Google patches a number of bugs and always introduces new features. Version 14 has NaCl in it and hardware acceleratorion. | 07:32 |
| shiven | stupid question time; i've managed to get wpa_supplicant set up, but i have no idea on how to make it automatically connect on ubuntu; any pointers? (10.4) | 07:32 |
| ikonia | shiven: there is a tick box in gnome-network-manager to say "connect automatically" | 07:32 |
| jtrucks | MeanEYE: so, I will s/hardy/lucid/ in sources.list, then apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; perhaps? | 07:32 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: You could try renming sources.list file and try upgrading again in hope everything will go through this time, but I never had upgrade crash at that point. | 07:33 |
| rabbi1 | MeanEYE: yeah? but for 20 MB file for upgrade, every time ... sounds weired | 07:33 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: no | 07:33 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: that is %100 way to break your system | 07:33 |
| shiven | ikonia: sorry, i forgot to mention no gui | 07:33 |
| ikonia | !upgrade | jtrucks | 07:33 |
| ubottu | jtrucks: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 07:33 |
| jtrucks | okay. | 07:33 |
| ikonia | shiven: why are you not using a gui ? | 07:33 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: I was following that. | 07:33 |
| MeanEYE | rabbi1: In windows they are doing the diff download. In linux due to packaging rules they have to give full package every time. It's not that much of a download for benefit of security. | 07:33 |
| shiven | ikonia: development (server) system. Not interested in the waste of resources | 07:33 |
| jtrucks | it broke. | 07:33 |
| shiven | it just needs wifi, and ssh really | 07:33 |
| ikonia | shiven: then you have to set everything up in the interfaces file so that when the interface is brought up, all the settings are there, which will force it to connect | 07:34 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: define "it broke" | 07:34 |
| rabbi1 | MeanEYE: or i can skip 1 or 2 upgrades in btwn | 07:34 |
| MeanEYE | rabbi1: You can but there's no reason to do so. | 07:34 |
| ikonia | rabbi1: if an update is offered, it's wise to take it | 07:34 |
| shiven | ikonia: any idea where the interfaces file is? i have no issue setting it up, its just everything is in different places on ubuntu | 07:35 |
| ikonia | shiven: what distro are you used to ? | 07:35 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: from earlier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/696032/ | 07:35 |
| rabbi1 | thanks | 07:35 |
| shiven | ikonia: gentoo / funtoo / sabyan | 07:35 |
| jtrucks | and sources.list: symbolic link to usr/share/man/man1/mactime-sleuthkit.1.gz' | 07:35 |
| MeanEYE | ikonia: jtrucks has problem with do-release-upgrade it broke before finishing last task od setting up all the packages. Perhaps reconfigure all could work. | 07:35 |
| ikonia | shiven: the file is in /etc/network | 07:35 |
| shiven | ikonia: thank you | 07:35 |
| MeanEYE | shiven: You can see interface name by issuing ifconfig -a :) | 07:36 |
| rabbi1 | ikonia: my laptop prob din't solve,,, it's out for repair... | 07:36 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: obviously without knowing the details thats a serious error, however the last line that it can't read the sources file is interesting | 07:36 |
| ikonia | rabbi1: I told you 10 times it would not work and that it needed to go back for hardware repair | 07:36 |
| shiven | MeanEYE: i'm configuring my wifi; ifconfig is somewhat useless... | 07:36 |
| Fargh | anyone ideas for my issue ? | 07:36 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: somehow it managed to link the sources.list file to usr/share/man/man1/mactime-sleuthkit.1.gz | 07:37 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: what the devil....... | 07:37 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: I have never seen anything like that | 07:37 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: (what's mactime - pleaes don't say part of the macbuntu theme) | 07:37 |
| MeanEYE | shiven: I know, but it will give you interface name. Oh, sorry I didn't read your question correctly. | 07:37 |

| jtrucks | ikonia: mactime is part of sleuthkit. forensics package | 07:39 |
| jtrucks | this is a headless server. | 07:39 |
| tsaknorris | MeanEYE: lol i didnt know about that source command :D i was already thinking to make loop what goes with grep all the alias lines and make them alias commands :) so much easier whiuh! | 07:39 |
| MeanEYE | tsaknorris: Please don't :D | 07:39 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: I think you're in for a tough ride | 07:40 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: I had a bad feeling that was the case. | 07:41 |
| jtrucks | it finished doing all the 'setting up' stuff, then this broke. | 07:41 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: ikonia: I still don't get how the heck man file ended up being linked to the source.list | 07:41 |
| jtrucks | MeanEYE: I have no idea either. | 07:41 |
| llutz_ | corrupted filesystem, bad RAM | 07:42 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: out of interest, where is the sources.list pointing now ? | 07:42 |
| ryoohki | is there a channel for "ubuntu software center"? | 07:43 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: oh, I removed the symlink and copied sources.list.distUpgrade, then did s/hardy/lucid/ in the file. | 07:43 |

| henningvis | afrikaans | 07:46 |
| ikonia | Ins3rt: #ubuntu-br | 07:46 |
| Ins3rt | thxs ikonia | 07:46 |
| jtrucks | and now mysql is broken due to having a mix of hardy and lucid packages, I think. | 07:46 |
| llutz_ | hellofoo: those 4k are the size the dir itself uccupies + some space reserved for information on contained files. once the number of files exceeds that reserved number, the dir-size increases with every file | 07:48 |
| MeanEYE | hellofoo: which flags did you use with `ls` command? | 07:48 |

| jtrucks | ikonia: oh, i think I know where that dependency problem came from. earlier it was suggested I replace the distUpgrade file after removing that weird symlink, then doing apt-get update; apt-get upgrade... which I believe started breaking mysql. | 07:54 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: that sort of makes sense, I can see how that could happen | 07:54 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: I'm curious to your repos as I'm tempted to try that update to see if it fails as yours did | 07:54 |
| jtrucks | I'll pastebin what I have in the file. old and new if you like. | 07:55 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: I wouldn't mind a look | 07:55 |

| jtrucks | new list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/696042/ | 07:57 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: it's worth my trying an upgrade to see if that repo cause the crazy symlink | 07:57 |
| jtrucks | so what exact part of the process do I use? | 07:58 |
| jtrucks | and it looks like it might be that repo that caused my mysql issues. | 07:58 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: honestly, don't know due to how your system is | 07:58 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: my opion is, manually resolve each dep conflict as best you can, then re-try the upgrade | 07:59 |
| jtrucks | so perhaps I should remove all my mysql stuff that snuck in from that other repo. | 07:59 |
| jtrucks | okay. | 07:59 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: this may involve removing some packages and re-installing them from the sane repo | 07:59 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: keep in mind I'm flying blind on this, so it may not be solid advice | 07:59 |
| ikonia | but that's how I'd deal with it | 07:59 |
| jtrucks | oh, I know. :) | 07:59 |
| ikonia | any packages from the deb repo that conflict with packages from ubuntu, or supply newer/different versions, swap out with ubuntu packages | 08:00 |
| jtrucks | I much appreciate the help. | 08:00 |
| === rich3kr0w is now known as richtroye | ||
| ikonia | jtrucks: I am very interested/worried about what caused that symlink issue though | 08:00 |
| jtrucks | so, what I don't know is what package command to use to force remove those as it's still trying to install these client packages so I can't do anything until I can get that part fixed. | 08:00 |
| ironhalik | Hmm could someone tell me | 08:01 |
| ironhalik | why theres no hdx drives in my /dev/ dir? | 08:01 |

| ironhalik | oh | 08:02 |
| ironhalik | sec | 08:02 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: once I get this fixed, I can out in a report or otherwise supply anyone who is intersted with the logs from the failure | 08:02 |
| ironhalik | nope - /dev/shm or /dev/snd :/ | 08:02 |
| ironhalik | only dirs on s | 08:02 |

| ActionParsnip | ironhalik: run: sudo fdisk -l to see partitions | 08:03 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: it would be interesting if you could spend a little time with me and see if we can re-create it | 08:03 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: Unforuntaely, I don't have that time. | 08:04 |

| ikonia | ironhalik: you said there was not, yet there clearly is | 08:06 |
| ikonia | ironhalik: your usb device is /dev/sdb | 08:06 |

| rww | ironhalik: correct, it's not a directory. | 08:07 |
| ikonia | ironhalik: you can't do that, it's a device file, you need to mount it | 08:07 |
| ikonia | ironhalik: it should be auto mounted in /media | 08:07 |
| ironhalik | well, I want to use it with 'dd' tool | 08:07 |
| ironhalik | should it be visable with 'dir'? :> | 08:07 |
| ikonia | ironhalik: what are you trying to do - what's your end goal | 08:07 |
| TheWrongTurn | ikonia: So I could use the 64bit version with 2GBs of RAM only ? And then later toss 2 more GBs in and max out the RAM slots (and RAM) ? | 08:07 |
| ikonia | TheWrongTurn: sure. | 08:07 |
| TheWrongTurn | ikonia: rather than having to upgrade to the 64bit OS later? | 08:08 |
| ikonia | TheWrongTurn: you can't upgrade to 64bit from 32bit | 08:08 |
| ikonia | TheWrongTurn: install 64bit now, and add more ram later | 08:08 |
| TheWrongTurn | (when I install the RAM) | 08:08 |
| ironhalik | ikonia: oh, ls -al lists is, thats my bad - ill try to burn the img now - thanks for the help :> | 08:08 |
| MeanEYE | TheWrongTurn: What ikonia means is there's no upgrade process. Just a fresh install. | 08:08 |
| s0126h | is it true that if you forget root password in ubuntu, it makes no difference | 08:10 |
| ikonia | s0126h: there is no root password | 08:10 |
| llutz_ | s0126h: you cannot forget something not exisiting | 08:10 |
| ikonia | s0126h: so you can't forget it | 08:10 |
| MeanEYE | s0126h: You shouldn't have root password in the first place. | 08:10 |
| s0126h | can you even set root password then? | 08:10 |
| MeanEYE | s0126h: Yes you can, but shouldn't | 08:11 |
| ikonia | s0126h: you can but it's unwise and un-needed | 08:11 |
| llutz_ | s0126h: no need to do it | 08:11 |
| MeanEYE | s0126h: That's why `sudo` is there. | 08:11 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: so, I think it's file system corruption. I just found another file that is whacked out. | 08:11 |
| TheWrongTurn | damn thing disconnected | 08:11 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: if that's the case, what rotten timing | 08:11 |
| jtrucks | while trying to fix these messed up packages | 08:11 |
| s0126h | MeanEYE how do i set root password | 08:11 |
| jtrucks | exactly. | 08:11 |
| ikonia | s0126h: if you don't know, you shouldn't do it | 08:12 |
| ikonia | s0126h: why do you want to do that ? | 08:12 |
| llutz_ | s0126h: tbh, if you have to ask that, you shouldnt do it at all | 08:12 |
| === Abhijit is now known as `Abhijit | ||
| s0126h | because i don't like this "sudo nonsense" | 08:12 |
| MeanEYE | s0126h: I agree with ikonia. You really don't need root password. It will only hinder your security. | 08:12 |
| MeanEYE | s0126h: Even if you do set it, a lot of applications won't run if you are logged in as root so there's no sense in doing that. | 08:12 |
| IamTrying | I am getting this error when building from source. e.g: configure: error: no gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.35.1 (GStreamer Base Plugins) found configure failed | 08:13 |
| s0126h | meaneye why would application not run | 08:13 |
| ikonia | s0126h: then use "sudo -i" and be root | 08:13 |
| jtrucks | does anyone recall off the top of their head how to delete/unlink a file by inode? | 08:13 |
| ikonia | MeanEYE: that's not true | 08:13 |
| s0126h | what is the difference between "su root" and "sudo -i" | 08:13 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: ls -li to get then inode, | 08:13 |
| ikonia | s0126h: sudo -i sets the environment correctly | 08:13 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: yeah, I got that:) | 08:13 |
| MeanEYE | ikonia: Hm, yeah those that do run with sudo, will work either way. I though he wants to be logged in as root all the time. | 08:14 |
| jtrucks | oh, find might help me do this. | 08:14 |
| s0126h | sudo is confusing | 08:14 |
| llutz_ | jtrucks: find ... -inum -exec rm... | 08:14 |
| ikonia | MeanEYE: that won't change applications from working/not working | 08:14 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: hang on, I'll get the rm option | 08:14 |
| ikonia | s0126h: in what respect | 08:14 |
| s0126h | why does sudo -i work when i don't even know root password | 08:14 |
| ikonia | s0126h: because you know your own sudo password | 08:15 |
| MeanEYE | ikonia: am pretty sure some of them didn't want to work :/ oh well... probably a minority | 08:15 |
| ikonia | s0126h: and your user is authorized | 08:15 |
| ikonia | MeanEYE: no, you are incorrect | 08:15 |
| jtrucks | hmm. find . -inum 9193214 -exec rm {} \; didn't work | 08:15 |
| s0126h | ikonia i don't like that system: i like system where i have to know root password to get super priviledegt | 08:15 |
| jtrucks | here's the real problem: -????????? ? ? ? ? ? GalleryRepositoryIndex.class | 08:15 |
| jtrucks | nice, eh? | 08:15 |
| llutz_ | jtrucks: fsck | 08:16 |
| ikonia | s0126h: you don't like typing sudo -i, but you so like typing su - to be root | 08:16 |
| ikonia | s0126h: is that really what you're saying | 08:16 |
| jtrucks | llutz_: I was hoping to avoid that... as this is the root partition. | 08:16 |
| s0126h | ikonia yes sort of ; because to do "su root" you have to know root password | 08:16 |
| ikonia | s0126h: what does it matter if you know the root password ? | 08:16 |
| s0126h | i just prefer that system | 08:17 |
| ikonia | s0126h: then use it, good luck. | 08:17 |
| llutz_ | jtrucks: stupid not to do. you cannot know all the stuff being broken | 08:17 |
| Fargh | guys, whats the solution when you get No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already ? | 08:17 |
| s0126h | what is the difference between "su -" and "su root" | 08:17 |
| MeanEYE | s0126h: In that case, sudo -i and then passwd. | 08:17 |
| ikonia | s0126h: one sets the environment, the other sets the id | 08:17 |
| s0126h | ikonia i dont' get it | 08:17 |
| ikonia | MeanEYE: please stop talking if you can't follow the discussion | 08:17 |
| ikonia | s0126h: possibly why you should be using sudo then | 08:18 |
| s0126h | meaneye and whose password do i type after "sudo -i" | 08:18 |
| MeanEYE | ikonia: wasn't his question how to change root password? You are really in a bad mood today. | 08:18 |
| ikonia | s0126h: you know what you're doing - so either do it or don't | 08:18 |
| ikonia | MeanEYE: no. Please follow the conversation | 08:18 |
| llutz_ | setting root-password isn't supported here and this should be EOD | 08:19 |
| ikonia | llutz_: yes, you're correct. | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | s0126h: very little but it will fail as no root pass is set, or should be set | 08:19 |
| s0126h | llutz that's silly | 08:19 |
| bazhang | s0126h, lets move on | 08:19 |
| llutz_ | s0126h: if you don't agree with ubuntu-style, don't use it | 08:19 |
| MeanEYE | ikonia: I did, but whatever. Not going to argue because of that. | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | s0126h: after: sudo -i type you users password you log in with | 08:20 |
| s0126h | llutz is "sudo -i" ubuntu style? other distro does not use this style? | 08:20 |
| IamTrying | I am getting this error when building from source. e.g: configure: error: no gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.35.1 (GStreamer Base Plugins) found configure failed | 08:20 |
| ryoohki | is there a procedure to fix ubuntu software center? i already tried "apt-get purge software-center ; apt-get install software-center" | 08:20 |
| llutz_ | !sudo | s0126h | 08:20 |
| ubottu | s0126h: 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). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 08:20 |
| jtrucks | my worry on this systems is this: if I take it to single user and fsck it, will it even boot since it never finished the upgrade process... | 08:20 |
| s0126h | ActionParsnip i see; i don't comprehend that system nor i want to use it | 08:20 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: it's worth (if you can) fo an fsck on the file system - but set -n so it doesn't auto fix, that way you can see the errors | 08:20 |
| ikonia | s0126h: don't use it then, | 08:21 |
| s0126h | ActionParsnip because all you doing is retyping the password you logged in with | 08:21 |
| ikonia | s0126h: read the documentation ubottu has provided | 08:21 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: without rebooting to single user you mean? it might be wort the risk now... | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | s0126h: the default is to keep root locked down for security, when you need exta access, simply prepend the command with sudo and use your password to authenticate, this gives greater control of whom can use admin commands | 08:21 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: nah, don't do it on a mounted file system | 08:22 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: sorry, I see what you're saying that you don't want to boot at all | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | s0126h: it also stops users from running stuf like irc clients and web browsers as root, which is a really bad idea | 08:22 |
| jtrucks | I don't understand how linux kernels and userland stuff works well enough to know whether I'll remotely have a working system, however, it did update grub and I tink install the new kernel, too... | 08:23 |
| s0126h | actionparsnip why would that be better security; the user is only re typing their own password to get root access | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | s0126h: there are plenty of good reasons why ubuntu is set as it is. | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | s0126h: the user must be in the 'admin' group to be able to use sudo | 08:23 |
| bazhang | s0126h, lets move on, you have repeated enough. check the links. | 08:23 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: it maybe worth booting from a livecd (if you have the guts) and try to resolve it from that point if it won't boot | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | s0126h: so users whom are not may attempt to use sudo but they will be denied access | 08:23 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: I'm sure (I think) we can get this booting again if you have a problem | 08:24 |
| qin | s0126h: Rootless linux is quite common, it is not only Ubuntu... | 08:24 |

| jtrucks | so, I moved the directory it was in (which the package manager was trying to remove anyway) and left it somewhere else to fix later, now I can get mysql installed. | 08:33 |
| jtrucks | so mail will work :P | 08:33 |
| jtrucks | then I can see if there's anything else left for the upgrade. | 08:34 |
| jtrucks | then risk a reboot. | 08:34 |
| jtrucks | meanwhile, I cannot for the life of me remember how to get to the console of the OS from HP iLO 100 | 08:34 |

| Amaranth1 | Anyone have any experience with the plugin I am trying to use? Becuase no matter what I seem to do, I get errors | 08:35 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: not all ilo's support console, and some have to be licensed, some only allow LOM | 08:35 |
| iceroot | what is a process in "ps aux" containing [] like [/usr/bin/termin] | 08:35 |
| jtrucks | oh, so, I'm installing the mysql pacakges again... will it recognize that mysql-server used to be installed and ask me before it nails my existing setup? (I don't care about my.cnf, I didn't customize it - but auth tables etc I do) | 08:36 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: shouldn't touch the data | 08:36 |
| jtrucks | thought so.. but tonight I"m tired and paranoid :) | 08:37 |
| jtrucks | thanks. | 08:37 |
| llutz_ | iceroot: means" no more options/parameter for this process known" | 08:37 |
| llutz_ | iceroot: so only the processname is shown in [] | 08:39 |
| iceroot | llutz_: so that means if i start "df" it would be shown as [/bin/df] and if i use "df -h" it would be shown as "/bin/df -f" | 08:39 |
| jtrucks | okay, mysql works now. | 08:40 |
| jtrucks | now I can get back to figuring out what's left of the upgrade and/or whether it's safe to reboot | 08:40 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: you're getting there, | 08:40 |
| llutz_ | iceroot: no, afaik those processes mainly are kernel-/system-procs where the kernel has no info how it was called exactly. user-procs like "df" are known with path and all | 08:40 |
| iceroot | llutz_: ah ok, thank you | 08:41 |
| llutz_ | iceroot: you'd better do some googling about it ;) | 08:41 |
| iceroot | llutz_: hard with "[]" | 08:41 |
| iceroot | llutz_: i guess "man ps" should be better | 08:41 |
| llutz_ | square brackets or how are they called in english? | 08:41 |
| iceroot | llutz_: that was to easy to think about :) thanks | 08:42 |
| iceroot | llutz_: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/ps-process-names-in-brackets-644364/ | 08:43 |
| iceroot | [] = kernel-process | 08:44 |
| iceroot | but strange is that "terminator" (like gnome-terminal) has [] also but i am calling it myself | 08:45 |

| jtrucks | yeah, I can live without that. :P | 08:46 |
| tularis | hello | 08:46 |
| llutz_ | iceroot: kernel or system-threads... but terminator... no idea why | 08:46 |

| tularis | i aquired a lenovo 121e one week ago, i installed ubuntu natty 64bit from usb and recently i had a big freeze | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | !away > yakeb-away | 08:47 |
| ubottu | yakeb-away, please see my private message | 08:47 |
| tularis | from that day i can't boot or finish an install | 08:48 |
| mobal | hello' | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?# | 08:48 |
| jtrucks | looks like it installed the kernel, too, and updated menu.lst | 08:48 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: no but I installed it on 3 other computer at work, and those computer work fine for 4 weeks | 08:49 |
| jtrucks | so, what am I missing now? | 08:49 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: you look in an "ok" place | 08:49 |
| jtrucks | btw, you folks rock, especially you, ikonia | 08:49 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: well, I guess I ought to try a reboot, eh? | 08:49 |
| nyuszika7h | Hi | 08:49 |
| jtrucks | all the services seem to be working. | 08:49 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Fingers crossed! :D | 08:49 |
| jtrucks | yeah | 08:49 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: going to have to jump soon. | 08:49 |
| tularis | I think problem come maybe from the x121e (amd processor) | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: I suggest you test the RAM too | 08:50 |
| jtrucks | so, here's the best part: I"m using that server right now to be here, so hopefully I'll be back with good news soon. | 08:50 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: did you eyeball the menu.lst/grub.conf to make sure it matches up to files that are there | 08:50 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: including the initrd etc. | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: there is an option on the USB, once booted, to MD5 test all the files on the USB | 08:50 |
| blink | hi. what's a good application to convert .avi videos to another formats? because i can't play .avi videos on my honeycomb. | 08:50 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: how can I test the ram if i don't have spares | 08:50 |
| tularis | oh | 08:50 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: i'm actually on a live session | 08:50 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: what should I do ? (thx for helping) | 08:51 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: yes. :) | 08:51 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: time to test ? | 08:51 |
| jtrucks | vmlinuz and initrd are both correct. | 08:51 |
| jtrucks | sure. | 08:51 |
| jtrucks | :) | 08:52 |

| jtrucks | oops... didn't mean to type that many messages so quickly :P | 08:52 |

| Ninks | ikonia: ok. | 08:55 |
| ikonia | Ninks: thank you | 08:55 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: i don't have the iso anymore | 08:55 |
| Ninks | ikonia: lots of men over there grieving very seriously though | 08:55 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: i'm actually on the live boot of the usb stick | 08:55 |
| ikonia | Ninks: not intersted - please stop discussion about it | 08:55 |
| tularis | oh | 08:55 |
| jtrucks | apparently it works ;) | 08:56 |
| MeanEYE | jtrucks: Yay! | 08:56 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: processing ... | 08:56 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: pleased. | 08:56 |
| ninjaaron | I have some questions about packaging. | 08:57 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: thank you sooooooo much for all your time. | 08:57 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: you sorted yourself out, credit to you | 08:57 |
| ninjaaron | I created a font, and I'm distributing it via github at the moment, but someone has requested a launchpad ppa. | 08:58 |
| jtrucks | now to make sure mail is flowing both ways before staggering to bed :) | 08:58 |
| ninjaaron | I'm not really sure how to create a deb for a font. | 08:58 |
| ninjaaron | or for anything else, for that matter. | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: the USB can test it's own health | 08:58 |
| Asad2005 | I had to replace motherboard, AGP and cpu, i have ubuntu 11.04 installed on hard disk. would it be possible to preserve installed system. dpkg-reconfigure failed ? | 08:59 |
| Pereee | Hello! I really need help with a 11.04 server installation. I have 4 discs that i want to turn into a RAID array and install the system on. Anyone RAID-MASTER? :) | 08:59 |
| Pereee | RAID10 array that is | 08:59 |
| blink | hi. what's a good application to convert .avi videos to another formats? because i can't play .avi videos on my honeycomb. | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Asad2005: should be able to simply transfer the drive, remove proprietary drivers if you installed any | 08:59 |
| ikonia | Pereee: the server install has a raid tool | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !raid | Pereee | 08:59 |
| ubottu | Pereee: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 08:59 |
| === c4pt_ is now known as c4pt | ||
| Pereee | ActionParsnip: Yes indeed it does.. the installation works fine and i have checked the links posted. The problem in my case is maybe partitioning | 09:00 |
| Asad2005 | ActionParsnip: IS there an alternative to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command | 09:01 |
| Pereee | installation works fine except when i boot it does not find GRUB | 09:01 |
| Someguy2 | Guys does Ubuntu supprts dual Graphics card | 09:01 |
| Pereee | end up int grub error> | 09:01 |
| Trusardi | hm | 09:01 |
| === Trusardi is now known as ImaginaryFriend | ||
| Someguy2 | casue when i have my gamimg machine, i wanna install ubuntu on it | 09:01 |
| ikonia | Pereee: you need to have /boot on a non-raid partition or a mirrored raid partition in this case | 09:01 |
| jtrucks | yup, everything working. | 09:01 |
| * jtrucks waves and goes to bed. | 09:01 | |
| ikonia | jtrucks: nice job | 09:01 |
| Someguy2 | Ubuntu is kinda faster than Windows | 09:02 |
| Someguy2 | but it did hang on me one time | 09:02 |
| jtrucks | as it turns out, the telnet console is only good for power cycling or I can't figure it out either :P | 09:02 |
| jtrucks | time to set up tunnels to get to the console. | 09:02 |
| jtrucks | since it's not on public space. | 09:02 |
| Ironsight | someguy: you mean SLI/Crossfire? | 09:02 |
| Someguy2 | k now i have a question | 09:02 |
| ikonia | jtrucks: lom settings only | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Asad2005: not had to use it, I'd imagine not though | 09:02 |
| jtrucks | NOW to bed. | 09:02 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: thanks. | 09:02 |
| Someguy2 | yes | 09:02 |
| jtrucks | ikonia: yeah :( | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: ask away | 09:02 |
| Someguy2 | is ubuntu really good at gaming | 09:03 |
| ikonia | no | 09:03 |
| Ironsight | You will probably need to install propietary driver | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: depends which games | 09:04 |
| Pereee | yes i have read that.. but im not sure im doing it correctly. I have my four discs. On all four i create a /swap, / and a /home partition. All these i create raid arrays from (mdx). On the first drive i create a /boot partition that is only on the first drive and marked as bootable. Is that wrong? | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: I've played many games on Ubuntu | 09:04 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: ubuntu has few native games, and running windows games on ubuntu is not a usable solution for every game | 09:04 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: if you have windows software...use windows, | 09:04 |
| Someguy2 | Why? | 09:04 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: because they are designed for windows, ubuntu is a totally different operating system | 09:04 |
| Ironsight | To be honest I just boot win 7 for games | 09:05 |
| Someguy2 | Well, WIne is useful | 09:05 |
| anabioz | да? | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: because games makers use a LOT of directx and windows guff (proprietary), so its difficult to make work | 09:05 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: not for everything | 09:05 |
| anabioz | что? | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: thats why not all apps work in wine | 09:05 |
| anabioz | как | 09:05 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: a game can work "ok" one work, and not work at all tomorrow depending on updates | 09:05 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: some stuff does not work at all and never will, so it's not a reliable solution., | 09:05 |
| Someguy2 | Well, there is a reason why WUBI exist | 09:05 |
| doxin | http://www.junauza.com/2011/04/lady-gaga-goes-gaga-over-ubuntu.html , how much of it is true? | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: there are some native games and some game developers, like ID software, make native Linux installers for their games | 09:06 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: wubi has nothing to do with wine | 09:06 |
| Someguy2 | k problem solved | 09:06 |
| Pereee | ikonia: yes i have read that.. but im not sure im doing it correctly. I have my four discs. On all four i create a /swap, / and a /home partition. All these i create raid arrays from (mdx). On the first drive i create a /boot partition that is only on the first drive and marked as bootable. Is that wrong? | 09:06 |
| Someguy2 | No I mean | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: wubi is different to wine | 09:06 |
| Someguy2 | I know that | 09:06 |
| Someguy2 | can i finosh my sentence? | 09:06 |
| Ironsight | Wine just barely works, and I don't dig the hassle of wine | 09:06 |
| Someguy2 | *finish | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: why press ENTER if the sentence wasn't finished? | 09:06 |
| n4dsp | where can one go to get support for Evolution Mail? | 09:07 |
| Someguy2 | Meh, Its a manarism | 09:07 |
| ikonia | Pereee: what you've descbribed sounds fine. however you need to make sure that your /boot partition is on the drive it's trying to boot from and that your system is looking at /boot on the drive rather than the raid array | 09:07 |
| Someguy2 | anyways | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: then you will be misunderstood | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | n4dsp: here | 09:07 |
| n4dsp | good | 09:07 |
| Someguy2 | Ubuntu is really good | 09:07 |
| Someguy2 | almost never got a problem with it | 09:08 |
| n4dsp | whenever I click on a pdf or a jpg which is on my desktop and want to send it in an email as attachment and put the email address in the box , ,,, | 09:08 |
| Someguy2 | n4dsp could be a bug or a human error | 09:08 |
| n4dsp | evolution mail opens but the email to that person with attachment doesnt open up. | 09:08 |
| n4dsp | bug i think | 09:08 |
| Ironsight | Sabayon to me is more geared to gaming since they install propietary drivers by default angd have a nice gaming edition | 09:09 |
| tularis | should i have a special version of natty for amd cpu ? | 09:09 |
| ikonia | tularis: no | 09:09 |
| Pereee | ikonia: ok. Sounds good then.. In the end of the installation i get a question to were i want to install grub.. if i want to install it in the MBR of the first drive or anywhere else. I have tried both but my guess is to /dev/sda1 (that should be my /boot partition) | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: no, any will run (except ppc) | 09:09 |
| ikonia | Pereee: no, masterboot record | 09:09 |
| Someguy2 | BTW is Ubuntu Ultimate a ilgeal release? | 09:09 |
| Pereee | ikonia: well that does not work either.. | 09:09 |
| Pereee | :( | 09:10 |
| Someguy2 | I have a Ubuntu Ultimate CD | 09:10 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: no, it's re-spin that's not supported here as it's not official | 09:10 |
| tularis | k thx | 09:10 |
| Someguy2 | Oh | 09:10 |
| Someguy2 | thanks | 09:10 |
| Ironsight | illegal ?? | 09:10 |
| ikonia | Pereee: you have a raid 10 array, is that software or hardware raid (I'm assuming linux software by your description) | 09:10 |
| ikonia | Ironsight: no | 09:10 |
| ninjaaron | p | 09:11 |
| Someguy2 | What are the reasons Ubuntu hangs? | 09:11 |
| Someguy2 | It did hang last summer | 09:11 |
| Pereee | ikonia: yes.. i create a software raid manually during installation | 09:11 |
| Someguy2 | the window that are open is firefox | 09:11 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: you're using ubuntu ultimate eddition, ask their support | 09:11 |
| ikonia | Pereee: ok, and it's a raid 10 containing 4 disks ? | 09:11 |
| Someguy2 | No | 09:11 |
| ikonia | no ? | 09:11 |
| Pereee | ikonia: yes | 09:11 |
| ikonia | no what. | 09:11 |
| Someguy2 | Not Ultimate | 09:11 |
| Someguy2 | Original | 09:12 |
| ikonia | Someguy2: , sorry, I thought you just said you had ultimate | 09:12 |
| csenger41 | hey guys :) | 09:12 |
| csenger41 | anyone online? | 09:12 |
| Someguy2 | yeha but that was for my desktop | 09:12 |
| dpnux | Hi. I am trying to install astah .deb using Ubuntu Software center and it hang. My ubuntu is 10.10 64 bit. I tried to cancel it but no response. What can I do to cancel it? | 09:12 |
| Someguy2 | my laptop has Ubuntu 11.04 offical | 09:12 |
| ikonia | Pereee: so, you also have 1 disk with /boot on | 09:12 |
| ikonia | Pereee: is that correct ? | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: Ultimate is offtopic here | 09:13 |
| Someguy2 | ok | 09:13 |
| csenger41 | i'd need some help with flash games freezes | 09:13 |
| Someguy2 | But Ubuntu 11.04 Offcial | 09:13 |
| Pereee | ikonia: no.. i only have four discs im afraid.. And what im trying to do is to have the /boot partition on the first drive and not included in any raid array. Maybe thats not even possible? | 09:14 |
| csenger41 | it happens when im moving my cursor and when i stop it, it keeps working again | 09:14 |
| Someguy2 | Ubuntu 11.04 offcial did hang on me once and i want to know the reason why | 09:14 |
| ikonia | Pereee: that should be fine, so you have 4 disks, but 1 disk has 2 partitions on, | 09:14 |
| Pereee | ikonia: basically 4 partitions, /boot /(root) /swap and /home. All three except /boot is raid arrays that exist on all four drives | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Someguy2: Canonical releases are supported here (plus Lubuntu when Oneiric is out) | 09:15 |
| Pereee | ikonia: or should i only do a /boot and a / partition? | 09:15 |
| ikonia | Pereee: you have 1 disk that has 2 partitions on, 1 partition for /boot, the other partition is included in the raid array | 09:15 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: md5 checksum is OK | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: sweet, ok so the USB boots. What happens next? | 09:18 |
| Pereee | ikonia: well.. im not sure.. Like this: I start up with 4 empty drives. On all those four i create /swap, /root, /home (and on the first drive a /boot) partition. With the raid "tool" i then create md0, md1 and md2 that is a /swap RAID, /root RAID and /home RAID | 09:18 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: i got a full access to a live session, but on the other hand if i try to install | 09:18 |
| ikonia | Pereee: ok, I think you're a little confused on how it works, I'll try to explain, stop me if you get lost | 09:18 |
| Pereee | ikonia: thanks! I was afraid of that :) | 09:19 |
| tularis | at 2/3 of files copy, the install crash and send me to a frozen command black screen | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: is the drive healthy? You can fsck the partition from terminal | 09:19 |
| ikonia | Pereee: you need to create 1 partition on each of the 3 disks in the raid array, that are "full disks", mark the partitions as "raid", you need to create 1 primary partition on 1 disk for /boot and then a partition that is also raid, mark that partition as raid | 09:19 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: i launched the drive check from the boot manager | 09:20 |
| ikonia | Pereee: you then make meta devices for each file system (apart from boot) out of the 4 raid partitioned disks | 09:20 |
| tularis | disk was healthy | 09:20 |
| z3ro3x | I tried to format a flash drive to fat32 and mistakenly clicked on a 500 GB hard drive with lots of data I'd like to get backigional file system was ext4. Gparted shows it as fat32. I tried to use testdisk to restore it and it told me to reboot after the changes. But after the reboot gparted still shows it as fat32. What's the deal? The or | 09:20 |
| Pereee | ikonia: ok, im with you. | 09:21 |
| z3ro3x | Ops. I mean "Original file system was ext4" Sorry, typo. | 09:21 |
| ikonia | Pereee: ok, or you can make one meta device, and partition it | 09:21 |
| tularis | i'll try the install another time | 09:21 |
| tularis | and i'll copy you the frozen command screen | 09:21 |
| ikonia | Pereee: eiter way will work fine, as long as you have 1 partition that is totally excluded from the raid setup. | 09:21 |
| ikonia | Pereee: does that help at all ? | 09:22 |
| Pereee | ikonia: Yes i think i get it.. What i think confuse me is what i should do with /swap and /root partitions? | 09:22 |
| n4dsp | guess its a tough question on the evolution mail problem | 09:22 |
| Pereee | ikonia: i don't need to care about that? | 09:23 |
| ikonia | Pereee: swap and root can be on the raid partition, no problems there | 09:23 |
| ikonia | Pereee: it's only /boot that needs to be %100 away from raid | 09:23 |
| Pereee | ikonia: ok, but i should create them after i have created the "raid" | 09:23 |
| ikonia | Pereee: it doesn't matter onthe order of creation, as long as the end result is /boot - seperate partition, everthing else = raid | 09:24 |
| ikonia | Pereee: it's useful to put /boot at the start of the first disk though | 09:24 |
| ikonia | Pereee: first partition on the first disk. | 09:24 |
| tularis | Panic occured | 09:25 |
| tularis | switched to text console | 09:25 |
| Pereee | ikonia: sorry if my questions are stupid.. Ok i will try but for me it sounds like i have done exactly that.. | 09:25 |
| ikonia | Pereee: they are not stupid at all. | 09:25 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: i got a blackscreen with a list of system call | 09:25 |
| Vahl | åäö | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: ok kick off the install without web access, keep it all local. Is it ok? | 09:25 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: and the screen finish by panic Occured, switched to text console | 09:26 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: i did | 09:26 |
| tularis | Without web access | 09:26 |
| tularis | same result | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: i see, have you tried the alternate ISO, it installs in text mode | 09:26 |
| The_BROS | anybody uses google docs in Ubuntu? | 09:26 |
| tularis | what is the alternate iso ActionParsnip | 09:26 |
| tularis | ? | 09:26 |
| tularis | oohh | 09:26 |
| tularis | yes i see | 09:26 |
| FloodBot1 | tularis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:26 |
| Kartagis | I've got two 11.04 installations; one at home, one at work. the one at home can't play video files ie plays only the first frame then continues without video. this happens under totem. what to do? please don't tell me to use another player | 09:26 |
| tularis | let me try | 09:26 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: are the video cards different | 09:27 |
| tularis | Where can i check the version of my usb live ubuntu ? | 09:27 |
| tularis | I don't remember if it's a desktop or an alternate >< | 09:27 |
| Pereee | ikonia: im trying to install now so we will se how it goes.. But your recommendation is to write grub to MBR of the first drive? | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: it install a desktop OS, just in text mode. There will be a text file or twon on the USB stick you can read, it will tell you the release | 09:28 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: could be, I'm not sure. can't check now because the one at work is off | 09:28 |
| ikonia | Pereee: correct, and make sure your bios is set to boot from that device | 09:28 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: worth checking, | 09:28 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: and if they are? | 09:29 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: well, that's where I'd start investigating | 09:29 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: what codecs can I install here? | 09:29 |
| ikonia | ? codecs......I said video card | 09:29 |
| tularis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/696080/ | 09:30 |
| Kartagis | VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter <--- the one here ikonia | 09:30 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: is that the one thats working (I bet not) | 09:30 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: before trying alternate, i should maybe try a more recent release, shouldn't I ? | 09:31 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: that's the one failing | 09:31 |
| tularis | oh | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: there is only Oneiric which is in beta, could try it. may just be silly enough to work | 09:31 |
| tularis | haha | 09:31 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: SIS video card, terrible, lots of problems. Not surprised it's failing | 09:31 |
| tularis | ok :P i try alternate | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: you'll more than likely need an xorg.conf for that chip, they do fine 2D display but no 3D under Linux | 09:32 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: where can I get such a xorg.conf? x.org? | 09:34 |
| Zimsky | How would I configure apache to serve as a proxy for a service running on port 3989? | 09:34 |
| Kartagis | Zimsky: #httpd | 09:35 |

| distant_voice | How do I use gconftool-2? I know the command I want to run, but when I do, I get another promt where I don't know what it wants of me | 09:58 |
| mokilok | Can someone please help me with a problem? I'm trying to mount a remote ntfs share using samba from bash but I don't know the command and i'm having trouble getting the one i've found to work. | 09:59 |
| hudeki | Would there be a problem with uninstalling evolution on 10.04? | 09:59 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | kudeki: No problem at all | 10:00 |
| mokilok | Is "sudo mount -t smbfs //10.0.0.100/shared_folder/ /media/windows_share -o username=Guest,password= | 10:00 |
| mokilok | the correct syntax? | 10:00 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | kudeki: But if apt-get wants to remove your desktop, you'll need to install aptitude, and run 'aptitiude keep-all' | 10:01 |
| hudeki | and from synaptic? | 10:01 |
| hudeki | same storry? | 10:01 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | i think | 10:01 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | I haven't used GUIs for installing in years, so IDK | 10:02 |
| bazhang | MAREK_BENC_NetB, that is not correct | 10:02 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | What? | 10:02 |
| bazhang | MAREK_BENC_NetB, ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package no harm done in removing it | 10:03 |
| Arthur | Is there a way to make a partition in Xubuntu? I installed it on my comp and I want to also install Windows 7, but it forces me to delete the current partition because it has all the space focused on it, any idea :/ ? | 10:03 |
| distant_voice | running "gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/gomcmd/command /home/jan/start_gomplayer %s' --type String" doesn't work, it doesn't exit back to the prompt. Does anybody have experience with gconftool-2? | 10:03 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | Yes, but if it's removed, apt will think all other packages are useless, and will prompt you to delete them with apt-get auto-clean | 10:04 |
| bazhang | MAREK_BENC_NetB, thats not correct | 10:04 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | s/auto-clean/auto-remove | 10:04 |
| distant_voice | Arthur, I think in general it's easier to install windows first and then install Ubuntu | 10:04 |
| Arthur | But I've already installed a lot of things in Linux, distant_voice, isn't there a way to make a new partition using some of the current space in my Linux so I can install there Windows :s ? | 10:05 |
| distant_voice | Arthur, there might be, but it's probably a pain in the ass compared to doing things the other way around. the problem is that windows will break GRUB in the process of uninstalling and if you don't know your way around fixing that it's be a real hassle | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | distant_voice: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=197195¤tpage=10 has some sample commands you can steal | 10:06 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | Arthur: It's an easy fix, actually. | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | distant_voice: you could put start_gomplayer in /usr/bin instead of $HOME, it's a bit neater | 10:07 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | Arthur: I can help you with this | 10:07 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | Arthur: All that happens, is that windows overwrites the Boot sector, so it boots instead of GRUB, which is the Boot loader for Ubuntu | 10:08 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | As long as you have a LiveCD, you can simply fix it | 10:09 |
| Arthur | MAREK_BENC_NetB: Thanks, I once installed Linux when I had Windows 7 and it was easy because it gave me the option of installing it with Windows 7, but Windows 7 only displays me two partitions (since I've got nearly all the GBs focused in one) and it doesn't let me continue the installation, what should I do? I'd install Windows 7, but I have some important things like Skype which were hard to me to install when I started on Linux :/ | 10:09 |
| Arthur | Some options I mean. | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Arthur: skype is downloadable from the skype site easily | 10:10 |
| Arthur | ActionParsnip: I know, but I had some problems finding ways to make the microphone on cam works well. | 10:11 |
| Arthur | Well anyway, it's true, I should install Windows 7 and then use Xubuntu Live CD again, it'll hopefully let me install it with Windows 7 | 10:11 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | Arthut: So, what's your current status, you want to install Windows? | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Arthur: yeah skype can be a pain to get nice | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Arthur: install Windows 7 to a percentage of the drive and you wont need to mess around with resizing partitions | 10:12 |

| almoxarife | MAREK_BENC_NetB: that's it, you right | 10:18 |

| soreau | dean: What do you mean? | 10:26 |
| dean | soreau, I am trying to convert 2 avi files to dvd using devede I know how to do it to make one dvd film | 10:26 |
| Gentoo64 | dean, just add them both to the list | 10:26 |
| Gentoo64 | then adjust disc usagge | 10:26 |
| soreau | dean: I know but do you mean to files in one dvd or two separate files to two separate dvd isos at once? | 10:27 |
| dean | Gentoo64, How do I make 2 seperate titles to click on so I can play either? | 10:27 |
| === pythonsnake is now known as Python | ||
| dean | In convertxtodvd you can put 2 films on one disc and you can choose which film to play | 10:27 |
| Gentoo64 | dean, cant remember. theres title options in there | 10:27 |
| soreau | dean: You just make two separate titles and add a file to each IIRC | 10:27 |
| === Python is now known as pythonsnake | ||
| iCappy | Hi guys | 10:28 |
| dean | soreau, Will the title link to the correct avi file and also make one iso? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | oops | 10:29 |
| soreau | dean: Yes | 10:29 |
| soreau | ikonia: meant iCappy? | 10:29 |
| dean | soreau, Ok I will give it a go I have read tutorials but only shows you how to convert one file lol | 10:29 |
| soreau | thought he was a known troll.. | 10:29 |
| ikonia | soreau: no, it was my fault/mistake | 10:29 |
| soreau | dean: Its pretty simple. You can only make one dvd at a time. Each title you add should have options for title text and video entries | 10:30 |
| blinkyb | MAREK_BENC_NetB, dean, almoxarife, sorry guys I had a phone call. so far it worked like a charm, now lemme extract the specific song from the concert and upload it to my ipod, i hope it works. thanks a lot ppl. | 10:31 |
| Justinfo | hi, how to stop cron ? | 10:31 |
| dean | soreau, On the left hand side you add the title and on the right hand side you add the video files but didn't know if it would be intelligent enough to figure it out you see | 10:31 |
| Element9 | I've got the session saver plugin for gedit it just doesn't save the session. Anyone had a problem like that? | 10:31 |

| almoxarife | Element9: not in 11.04, no | 10:32 |
| dean | Thanks for the help anyway soreau | 10:33 |
| soreau | dean: It is.. but if you add more than one file to a single title, it will just put them all together without an option to select either | 10:33 |
| dean | soreau, Thats what I was thinking thats why I needed to find out if I added the 2 titles and then 2 files it would put them in the right order if that makes sense I am confusing myself typing lol | 10:34 |
| Justinfo | stop: Unknown instance: | 10:34 |
| soreau | dean: Well, you have to select the title you want to add the file to. In your case, you want one file per title | 10:34 |
| Justinfo | for service cron stop | 10:35 |
| soreau | Justinfo: Which version of ubntu? | 10:35 |
| Element9 | almoxarife: yeah I'm using 10.10 | 10:35 |

| pythonsnake | How to get in root ? | 11:19 |
| LjL | !root | Python1320 | 11:19 |
| ubottu | Python1320: 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 | 11:19 |

| ikonia | pythonsnake you'll find that packages for a distro that isn't stable/released won't get backported too | 11:40 |
| pythonsnake | Gentoo64: 11.04 ? | 11:41 |
| Gentoo64 | afaik 11.04 hasnt got 2.6.32 | 11:41 |
| Gentoo64 | so yes | 11:41 |
| pythonsnake | ikonia: what do you mean ? I don't undersand your last statement | 11:41 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: 11.10 isn't released/stable yet, so why would people backport packages from it | 11:41 |

| fireprint | hi guys. i like my setup as is, on natty gui. But now that im "done".. id like my server to close down gui, but keep network settings and what not. Any way to do this? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: I can see it. | 11:43 |
| toumbo | Please check those links http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/d6b33a27e | 11:43 |
| test | is anyone knows how i can get the network utilisation statistics from zabbix database? | 11:43 |
| Mikey^ | fireprint: are you using ubuntu-server ? | 11:43 |
| toumbo | http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/d2f218d3f | 11:43 |
| fireprint | i know how to boot up without gui, however my network is not saved. And having it wpa i am having serious issues trying to get the network working. | 11:43 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Mikey^: Apparently not. | 11:44 |
| fireprint | mikey^ no sir. | 11:44 |
| Mikey^ | Mikey^: you can try using wicd | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | fireprint: add the boot option: text | 11:44 |
| pythonsnake | when will 11.04 support be dropped? | 11:45 |
| fireprint | ActionParsnip, i've done that. However when it boots directly from grub into text.. my wifi on the server wont connect. having trouble with wpa.. which works just fine on guimode. | 11:45 |
| jrib | pythonsnake: 11.04 + 1.06 = 12.10 | 11:45 |
| fireprint | i've had *nix for 3 days now, so sorry if my explaining is a bit off. | 11:45 |
| Mikey^ | fireprint: Use wicd | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | fireprint: +1 for wicd | 11:46 |
| fireprint | Mikey^, oh i can use wicd in termina? | 11:46 |
| Mikey^ | It has a commandline connetion utiliy | 11:46 |
| Mikey^ | fireprint: yes you can | 11:46 |
| Mikey^ | fireprint: wicd-cli | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Mikey^: it is a GUI app and also has wicd-ncurses | 11:46 |
| fireprint | ohh.. nice. that might actually do the trick. I thought that was only for gui. thank you botjh ActionParsnip and Mikey^ | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | fireprint: ^ | 11:46 |
| Mikey^ | ActionParsnip: yes, I know | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Mikey^: wrong target, my bad | 11:46 |
| xgt001 | Mikey^: where to find it? in system settings in kde ?? sorry i am a kde noob | 11:47 |
| fireprint | again.. thanks guys! appreciate the help. | 11:47 |
| Mikey^ | xgt001: Sorry, you have to install a package to get that option | 11:47 |
| pythonsnake | so 10.04 support will be dropped before 11.04 ? | 11:48 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: no | 11:48 |
| ikonia | !lts | 11:48 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 11:48 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | pythonsnake: I believe @ 12.10. | 11:49 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | jrib was hinting at time. | 11:49 |
| Mikey^ | xgt001: the package name is kde-config-gtk-style | 11:49 |
| Martin_ | I can connect to my server but it seems to have issues with outgoing connections | 11:49 |
| Martin_ | sendspacedev:~# curl -i 199.59.149.232 | 11:49 |

| Sidewinder1 | pythonsnake, Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 | 11:49 |
| Martin_ | that's twitter.. any ideas what would cause it? | 11:49 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: so 10.04 = 04/2010 + 3 years support for desktop, 5 for server | 11:49 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: 11.04 = 04/2011 + 18months support for desktop+server | 11:50 |
| xgt001 | Mikey^: could u please tell that package name? | 11:50 |
| xgt001 | thanks :) | 11:50 |
| gahmehgahmehha | hey there pythonsnake | 11:50 |
| Milossh | hello. When I want to create an archive, split into volumes options are greyed out | 11:51 |
| Milossh | what's wrong? | 11:51 |
| Milossh | 11.04 | 11:52 |
| StevenR | Martin_: looks like a network routing problem | 11:52 |
| fireprint | Mikey^, quick question about wicd. It seems to just do "rename failed" any quicfix for this or do i need to check into it. | 11:52 |
| pythonsnake | gahmehgahmehha: sup | 11:52 |

| Zerpy | his everyone, does anybody knows a tool, to benchmark web-applications with? etc. Scalability? | 11:53 |
| Martin_ | StevenR: nope.. :) | 11:53 |
| pythonsnake | ikonia: thanks | 11:53 |
| Martin_ | it's definitely an issue with my configs or something.. it's a vbox image | 11:53 |
| StevenR | Martin_: well. feel free to provide more information | 11:53 |
| Martin_ | StevenR: like what? I can ssh into it and i can view the http server running on it | 11:53 |
| Martin_ | it just seems to have issues connecting to anything | 11:53 |
| Martin_ | it has 3 network interfaces all setup via a bridged network adapter on my mac | 11:53 |
| Mikey^ | fireprint: You should run only one, either wicd or network manager. I think you need to stop and disable network manager first | 11:54 |
| fireprint | ah i see. probably due to the fact that im still in gui.. thanks again! | 11:54 |
| stan_ | hej | 11:54 |
| StevenR | Martin_: ok. pastebin the output of ifconfig -a and route -n then. | 11:54 |
| fireprint | logging off now. be back on my laptop upstairs. freakin cold down here in the basement. hehe | 11:54 |
| Martin_ | StevenR: http://pastie.org/private/nmsgf59onx9ljbhtcxnmnq | 11:55 |
| StevenR | Martin_: you have no gateway configured | 11:55 |
| xgt001 | Mikey^: should i login and logout to make the changes effective? | 11:56 |
| Mikey^ | xgt001: I dont think so | 11:56 |
| StevenR | Martin_: the routing table has no entries to allow it to work out what to do with addresses that aren't 192.168.0.x | 11:56 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Zerpy: You can use firebug or Chrome SpeedTest | 11:57 |
| Zerpy | RodiMus-X: So I can test for concurrent connections, and so on? | 11:57 |
| Martin_ | StevenR: how do I add one? /etc/network/interfaces I guess? | 11:58 |
| StevenR | Martin_: yes | 11:59 |
| StevenR | Martin_: under the main interface stanza, do gateway 192.168.0.x (using the IP of your router of course) | 11:59 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Zerpy: I use Chrome developer tools for that | 11:59 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Zerpy: on the client side | 12:00 |
| Martin_ | StevenR: yep got it... ifdown/ifup and now it's working | 12:00 |
| Martin_ | thanks for your help | 12:00 |
| StevenR | np | 12:00 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Zerpy: on the server side, I look at my httpd logs | 12:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | Milossh, Since no one else answered, I'll take a guess; perhaps you need to create the archive first, then split into volumes? Just a guess. | 12:01 |
| Zerpy | RoDiMus-X: That I mean is like, how much requests/s I can get if I have etc. 100 "users" loading the site at same time, like scalability testing | 12:01 |
| Milossh | Sidewinder1, nope. I found out it doesn't work with default set of archive types. Works with rar though | 12:01 |
| django | hey, can someone help me locate the evolution plugins folder? | 12:01 |
| TheGuyWhoNeedsHe | does anyone have some time to help me | 12:01 |
| Milossh | but thanks Sidewinder1 | 12:01 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Zerpy: Do you have a test server setup | 12:01 |
| === TheGuyWhoNeedsHe is now known as lolcakez | ||
| Sidewinder1 | Milossh, My pleasure. | 12:02 |
| Zerpy | RoDiMuS-X: Yeah | 12:02 |

| Mikey^ | django: /usr/lib/evolution/ | 12:03 |
| Zerpy | RoDiMuS-X: yep | 12:03 |
| django | thanks Mikey^ | 12:03 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Ok I think I might have the tool for you | 12:04 |
| Zerpy | RoDiMuS-X: nice! | 12:05 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Zerpy: Jmeter | 12:05 |
| Mikey^ | django: but you can also use it in your own home dir | 12:05 |
| Mikey^ | check .evolution/ | 12:05 |

| mike-w | hi,folks | 12:10 |
| mike-w | i compiled a program and install it, but now i want to uninstall it. how can i accomplish this? | 12:11 |
| fireprint | hi again guys. grub in text mode and wicd still tells me rename was faulty. So ill just stick around here incase i need to ask something :) | 12:11 |
| fireprint | will network manager run eventhough its on textmode and not gui? | 12:13 |
| Mikey^ | fireprint: yes, stop the service | 12:14 |
| Mikey^ | disable it, so it wont run on boot up | 12:14 |
| Sidewinder1 | fireprint, I could be totally wrong and perhaps I didn't understand your original question but, couldn't you just boot into normal GUI, then hit "Ctrl-Alt-F1" to 'blow' GUI and get to command line/ | 12:14 |
| fireprint | thank you again Mikey^ .. | 12:14 |
| Kirior | i have a 1TB HDD that i lost all m files on and the Ubuntu cannot see the whole size (onl about 15GB is visible) is there an program i can use to recover and fix it? | 12:15 |

| Kirior | Sidewinder1: hi how are ou? | 12:15 |
| fireprint | sidewinder1: yeah what Mikey^ said. hehe trying to cut down on recources on my server as its a old computer. ;) | 12:15 |

| OerHeks | todd_, why commandline if you want to show it afterwards, makes no sense .. | 12:24 |
| xgt001 | in synpatic, mark for complete removal refers to sudo apt-get purge right? | 12:24 |
| OerHeks | use a mouse like everybody ? | 12:25 |
| Kirior | an one here know a program to recover lost files and messed tables in external HDD? (it was 1TB now it sees onl 15GB or less) | 12:25 |
| xgt001 | Kirior: testdisk is very good | 12:26 |
| todd_ | DerHeks: No I want to take 1 and only one pic, but I only want it taken when the persons face is in frame, not 1/2 off the screen | 12:26 |
| joel135 | xgt001: I've always thought that | 12:26 |

| Kirior | xgt001: will it fix that small part that loads before bootloader that is responsible for overseeing the whole size of hdd? (i hope its clear enough) | 12:27 |
| soreau | todd_: streamer -f jpeg -o /path/to/image.jpeg then script it to show you the image and do what you want | 12:28 |
| todd_ | soreau: No streamer takes a picture immediatly, so the person Im taking a pic of is probably 1/2 out of frame, is there a way to get it to wait till the person is in frame? | 12:28 |
| OerHeks | soreau you re-invented cheese :-D | 12:28 |
| bj0rn2 | how long does it take from a package version is released until it's available in the repository? | 12:29 |
| joel135 | todd_: you can save pictures using mplayer: http://www.infohit.net/blog/post/taking-snapshots-from-a-webcam-under-linux.html | 12:29 |
| soreau | todd_: There is no program to do that. You just have to take the pic, open it to view it and decide if its acceptable then delete and repeat if not etc | 12:29 |
| xangua | !latest | bj0rn2 | 12:29 |
| ubottu | bj0rn2: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 12:29 |
| soreau | joel135: nice | 12:30 |
| joel135 | todd_: I'd suggest you write a small script | 12:30 |
| todd_ | joel: mplayer has the same issue... it takes a picture immediatly, so the person Im taking a pic of is probably 1/2 out of frame, is there a way to get it to wait till the person is in frame? | 12:30 |
| soreau | indeed | 12:30 |
| soreau | todd_: You need to write a script to suit your needs | 12:30 |
| todd_ | joel135: This was no problem in windows, :-( | 12:30 |
| todd_ | soreu: OK how? | 12:31 |
| bj0rn2 | xangua: that's not what I mean, I mean a fix for a package. example gnome-shell 3.1.92-0ubuntu1 was released a few days ago but in repo I get the previous 3.1.90.1-0ubuntu4 | 12:31 |
| joel135 | todd_: make mplayer open a video stream from the camera in a window. when the window is closed, next command will be run. that command should save the image to a filesystem. | 12:31 |
| xangua | bj0rn2: sounds like that is what you mean | 12:32 |
| soreau | todd_: take pic, open it to view, if acceptable, enter y, else enter n and have it delete the image and start at step one | 12:32 |
| todd_ | joel135: ICK! really? close the window to take the picture, not real intuitive is it? | 12:32 |
| joel135 | todd_: so: display video from device; take picture | 12:32 |
| bj0rn2 | xangua: yeah you are right :) but it's in oneiric repo so upgrades are released | 12:33 |
| joel135 | todd_: you could write a small application to do it if you don't think it's too much of a waste of time | 12:33 |
| todd_ | Come on people, its such a simple thing, a command that will take a picture of something, not just take a picture... there has to be something??? | 12:33 |
| OerHeks | todd_, there is, cheese .. | 12:34 |
| soreau | todd_: You are making this way more difficult than what it is | 12:34 |
| soreau | todd_: There are a plethora of tools and ways to do this. Get creative. | 12:34 |
| iridium | todd_, it takes 2 seconds to capture or what? | 12:35 |
| todd_ | soreau: OK simplify it for me... please :-) | 12:35 |
| soreau | todd_: In one word? Cheese. | 12:35 |
| todd_ | soreau: OK how do I know when the picture was taken with cheese? | 12:35 |

| ActionParsnip | jcook_5xdata: which release have you installed? lsb_release -sc will tell you | 12:36 |

| ujjain | Can somebody help me find out why my Ubuntu does not shut down? http://images.codepad.eu/vi-23MciW.jpg | 12:37 |
| robinbowes | ActionParsnip: nah, they're not! | 12:37 |
| soreau | todd_: The point is that you need to try things and figure it out. My do a web search with google about exactly what you want | 12:37 |

| ikonia | ubuntufriend: you need to rmmod it, | 12:39 |

| ubuntufriend | dont wanna reboot and it told me i have to set some variable when i compiled my kernel | 12:40 |
| ubuntufriend | but i already installed | 12:40 |
| ikonia | ubuntufriend: then you will need to reboot if you need to recompile your kernel | 12:40 |
| soreau | jcook_5xdata: Yes it will drive multiple monitors and atheros should work great.. | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jcook_5xdata: #ubuntu+1 is support for Oneiric until it is released, the latest release supported here is Natty | 12:40 |
| joel135 | todd_: use grep etc on that output. look for line lines Exif:DateTime* | 12:40 |
| soreau | jcook_5xdata: at least from my experiences, atheros wifi works well with the ath*k drivers | 12:40 |
| MonkeyDust | ubuntufriend: with ksplice, there's no need to reboot after a kernel upgrade | 12:40 |
| ubuntufriend | no i don't wanan recompile my kernel | 12:40 |
| ubuntufriend | wait | 12:41 |
| ubuntufriend | can i do that | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntufriend: sure# | 12:41 |
| todd_ | joel135: ok but what the heck should I use for yourpicture.jpg??? | 12:41 |
| soreau | jcook_5xdata: If you are on 11.10, use #ubuntu+1 please | 12:41 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: is that enabled in ubuntu....is it setup | 12:41 |
| ubuntufriend | how do i recompile my kernel and how do i set its settings | 12:41 |
| cjs | What's a good program to automatically (at night or whatever) download new podcasts for me from a bunch of RSS feeds? | 12:41 |
| ubuntufriend | i thought compiling kernel is something you do once when you install the OS | 12:41 |
| ikonia | ubuntufriend: please show me the document you are following | 12:41 |
| ikonia | ubuntufriend: it is, please show me the document you are following | 12:41 |
| jcook_5xdata | ActionParsnip, soreau, ok | 12:41 |
| joel135 | todd_: the picture that contains the information that you want | 12:41 |
| todd_ | joel135: If i remember correctly cheese saves anywhere on the filesystem | 12:41 |
| cjs | Ideally something that's already available as a package for 11.04. | 12:41 |
| robinbowes | ActionParsnip: it seems that "apt-get install xtrabackup" did the trick | 12:42 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: is ksplice installed/configured/usable in Ubuntu ? | 12:42 |
| MonkeyDust | ikonia: ksplice is now property of Oracle, so it's a serious thing | 12:42 |
| jpmh | cjs: i like gpodder | 12:42 |
| ubuntufriend | im not following adocument you said i need to reboot to recompile my kernel | 12:42 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: that's not what I asked | 12:42 |
| todd_ | joel135: so I am a bit confused on your post??? | 12:42 |
| ubuntufriend | so the document is you ikonia | 12:42 |
| MonkeyDust | lemme check | 12:42 |
| soreau | ubuntufriend: Why do you want to roll your own kernel? | 12:42 |
| ikonia | ubuntufriend: please show me the document you are following that tells me you need to recompile your kernel | 12:42 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: "no, it's not" | 12:42 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: hence why I'm wondering why you are blindly recommending it | 12:42 |
| cjs | jpmh: Thanks. | 12:43 |

| MonkeyDust | ikonia: what are you saying? | 12:43 |
| joel135 | todd_: Cheese stores your pictures in a folder called Webcam inside the XDG-Directory set for Pictures (in most distributions its ~/Pictures/Webcam) | 12:43 |
| ubuntufriend | there exists not a document that tells you or me to recompile my kernel. the only interaction i have had pertaining to the recompiling of kernel comes from a user in this very channel by the name of : ikonia | 12:43 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: you've just suggested he use a technology that's not available currently in the distro he's using and that isn't in production use by any real distros at this time | 12:43 |
| todd_ | joel135: really?? let me check that? I did not see that in the man pages, or the info pages | 12:44 |
| ubuntufriend | who is this ikonia guy why is he booting me | 12:44 |
| ubuntufriend | what an asshole | 12:44 |
| ikonia | ubuntufriend: I did not tell you to recompile your kernel | 12:44 |
| ubuntufriend | you did | 12:44 |
| ikonia | ubuntufriend: I said you have to reboot if you need to compile your kernel | 12:44 |
| soreau | ikonia: Kernel kompiling is hard on ubuntu.. why would you suggest that ;) | 12:44 |
| ubuntufriend | you said i would need to reboot | 12:44 |
| ubuntufriend | to recompile my kernel | 12:44 |
| larsduesing | Hmm.. ok.. there is a new source-package for oneiric since yesterday, but no new bin-packages. *wait or compile by myself? | 12:44 |
| ikonia | ubuntufriend: you will need to reboot to recompile your kernel | 12:45 |
| ubuntufriend | yeah | 12:45 |
| todd_ | joel135: cool! thanks man, you are a lifesaver! | 12:45 |
| ubuntufriend | there you go | 12:45 |
| ubuntufriend | you said it again | 12:45 |
| joel135 | todd_: it's in their faq: http://library.gnome.org/users/cheese/stable/faq.html.en | 12:45 |
| ikonia | ubuntufriend: so I'll ask you one more time, where is the document that said you NEED to compile your kernel | 12:45 |
| ubuntufriend | and i would say one more time | 12:45 |
| ubuntufriend | there is no such document | 12:45 |
| joel135 | todd_: np | 12:45 |
| ubuntufriend | and i do not want to recompile my kernel | 12:45 |
| ikonia | ubuntufriend: who told you to recompile your kernel | 12:45 |
| ubuntufriend | you | 12:45 |
| todd_ | joel135: the man page should link there, IMHO | 12:45 |

| soreau | Chotaz: Possibly a configuration/software problem on the xbox side? | 12:54 |
| raven_ | soreau, dmesg shows several "ext4-fs sda1: re-mounted Opts: ...." | 12:55 |
| soreau | raven_: that may or may not be an issue | 12:56 |
| soreau | raven_: Particularly, you would want to find an error message.. | 12:56 |
| soreau | raven_: Does the machine hard lock or X just wont start? | 12:56 |
| raven_ | soreau, what do you mean by hard-lock? | 12:56 |
| alex- | How can I mount a network share in ubuntu server? | 12:57 |

| raven_ | soreau, and a ctrl-alt-print-k prints "sysrq : SAK" without effect | 13:04 |

| Gentoo64 | hippydadoo, rmmod -f | 13:05 |
| usr13 | hippydadoo: What is it for? | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | raven_: under keyboard settings you can re-enable CTRL+ALT+BackSpace | 13:05 |
| soreau | hippydadoo: You either unload the module that is using it or you reboot. Some cant be removed, especially drm or graphics modules | 13:06 |
| soreau | raven_: Man, sounds like your upgrade went wrong somewhere.. what kernel is reported by uname -r? | 13:06 |
| raven_ | soreau, 2.6.38-11-generic | 13:06 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: Obviously you havent been paying attention to his issue ;) | 13:06 |
| Gentoo64 | hippydadoo, then forced module unloading is probably disabled in kernel (as it should be) | 13:06 |
| soreau | raven_: Well Im not sure.. does /var/log/Xorg.0.log show anything of interest? | 13:06 |

| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Just tried lspci;uname and it works. That just goes to show you, you learn something every day! (I stand corrected) | 13:18 |
| alex- | ikonia: I have a python script on my website, but it just outputs the script on my website instead of running it | 13:18 |
| ikonia | alex-: you need apache setup to "execute" python, otherwise it just treats it as a text file and displays it | 13:18 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: But I venture to say "things have changed". | 13:19 |
| alex- | how can i setup apache to do that? | 13:19 |
| Caternam | Hi | 13:19 |
| ikonia | alex-: you'll have to check the apache http documentation on using mod_python (I think it's called) or using python as a cgi script | 13:19 |
| soreau | alex-: Try #httpd | 13:20 |
| soreau | Be careful, it can be pretty strict in there though | 13:20 |
| Caternam | i have a vga problem: on live-cd 10.10 i had low res, but it worked fine (GeForce gtx460) - on 11.04 live-cd the resolution goes up, but the screen goes blank every few secs as if the graphiccard resets. So I just wanted to ask where I can read about editing the disc-image, just need to know what I have to edit. | 13:20 |
| alex- | soreau: what do you mean? | 13:21 |
| soreau | Caternam: Most likely a bug in the nvidia driver. Try different settings in nvidia-settings or a different version of the driver | 13:21 |
| soreau | Caternam: Also, try to see if disabling/enabling compiz helps | 13:21 |
| Caternam | it blanks, goes black, then comes back | 13:21 |
| soreau | alex-: Quit trolling me please | 13:21 |
| alex- | soreau: i'm not trolling, i just dont understand what you mean with 'strict' | 13:22 |

| gulzar | how to make compiz work on LXDE(lubuntu) ? Only Knoppix seems to be doing it... Any idea? | 13:23 |
| soreau | gulzar: compiz --replace | 13:23 |
| mlncn | Lenovo T420, newly installed Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity enabled. Freezes seemingly at random, every couple of days. Firefox is usually at the fore and Skype usually running, if i'm looking for scapegoats. No ctrl-alt-fn-sysreq or any other key combination, including random jamming of keys, breaks me into terminal or anywhere else i can actually do anything. Recommendations? | 13:23 |
| xangua | gulzar: not much sense in using a 'light desktop' with compiz | 13:23 |
| mlncn | Here is what i've researched so far: http://data.agaric.com/ubuntu-1104-unity-freezing-new-lenovo-thinkpad-420 | 13:24 |
| soreau | xangua: compiz is only as heavy as the plugins you enable | 13:24 |
| soreau | xangua: It makes perfect sense | 13:24 |
| xangua | gulzar: you would need minimun besides have compiz installed, install metacity, emerald or kwin | 13:24 |
| gulzar | <xangua> yes but still.. How to do it? That's the challenge... | 13:24 |
| mlncn | walking me through / pointing me to docs for getting the log files after a complete system freeze would help a great deal | 13:24 |
| xangua | gulzar: whatever you choose to use in compiz and then run: compiz --replace | 13:24 |
| soreau | xangua: That is simply not true. You do not need kwin nor emerald nor metacity to run compiz | 13:24 |
| xangua | not a big challenge | 13:25 |
| Caternam | regarding my screen blanking problem, is there anything else I should look on apart from Compiz? | 13:25 |
| soreau | xangua: You got that one right, compiz --replace (but I already told him that) | 13:25 |
| gulzar | <xangua> No dear. Compix in lxde crashed badly. No solution from google. Only knoppix is wotking so far. | 13:25 |
| xangua | soreau: well you would have compiz withount a windows decorator ;) | 13:25 |
| soreau | xangua: Wrong again. There is gtk-window-decorator | 13:25 |
| soreau | included in compiz-gnome package | 13:26 |
| xangua | soreau: that is metacity... | 13:26 |
| soreau | xangua: wrong. | 13:26 |

| Sidewinder1 | Caternam, I'm guessing that 10.10 uses a different driver than 11.04? | 13:26 |
| soreau | xangua: gtk-window-decorator is a decorator for compiz that is capable of using metacity themes | 13:26 |
| ujjain | How do I get sound etc back at the right top of my GNOME? | 13:27 |
| soreau | ujjain: Try adding indicator applet.. | 13:27 |

| Caternam | Sidewinder1: yeah, I can guess that too, but would like to keep the high res without the frequent screen blanks - so am trying to find a workaround | 13:27 |

| Sidewinder1 | Caternam, Editing the disk image would be quite a challenge. Why not install the version that works best for you; then you can add/change video drivers, to your hearts content. | 13:31 |
| soreau | Dakkus: On recent versions of ubuntu, simply click on the network/wifi icon in the panel and select create new wireless network | 13:31 |
| Dakkus | That's how I used to do it in the past. | 13:31 |
| soreau | Dakkus: Enter the information and it will create an ad-hoc connection and share it | 13:31 |
| Dakkus | But on this installation that option doesn't exist. | 13:32 |
| D_Russ | hello all | 13:32 |
| soreau | Dakkus: Which version of ubuntu? | 13:32 |
| Dakkus | This is a 11.04 installed by installing 10.10 and upgrading it right away. | 13:32 |
| D_Russ | i think i just broke compiz. i made a change to a setting and now i cant get it to open | 13:32 |
| Dakkus | (I didn't have any empty CDs around, so this was the least unfeasible way) | 13:32 |
| soreau | Dakkus: Well you could do it manually with hostapd.. | 13:32 |
| Dakkus | soreau: Ok, how? | 13:32 |
| ge2x | Hey people! How do I get my NTFS drives to automount on my 11.04? :) | 13:33 |
| soreau | Dakkus: Very carefully ;) | 13:33 |
| Dakkus | Uh-oh :) | 13:33 |
| soreau | Dakkus: You will have to do a lot of reading and setup dhcp etc etc | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: run: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz; compiz --replace | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ge2x: ntfs partitons ;) | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ge2x: how did you install Ubuntu? | 13:33 |
| D_Russ | thanks ActionParsnip | 13:33 |
| LTLTLTLTLTLT | If I install 11.04 over my old root partition, but I've got a seperate /home/ directory will that be fine? Will I be able to access the files from my old username? | 13:34 |
| soreau | Dakkus: Might even be easier to try and install Natty from a live session | 13:34 |
| soreau | Dakkus: Does wifi work otherwise? | 13:34 |

| fireprint | server being natty | 14:01 |
| D_Russ | i made a change | 14:01 |
| D_Russ | and it started freaking out | 14:02 |
| D_Russ | now i cant open it | 14:02 |
| D_Russ | it was working ok before the change i made | 14:02 |
| auronandace | fireprint: you run compiz on a server? | 14:02 |
| fireprint | not the server edt. just a regulare 11.4 and wanted to check compiz on it.. however its buggy and weird. | 14:03 |
| fireprint | on my 10.4 though it works flawlessly. | 14:03 |

| D_Russ | where can i find that folder? and if i uninstall compiz will it total screw things up or just go back to defaults | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | SadlyMistaken: its in there, the firmware is proprietary so cannot be. There are tools to install which will cut the firmware out and allow you to use it | 14:07 |

| Teh_Lemon | if anyone knows... does trickle limit speed on process only if you run it with it, or works with already oepned processes too | 14:30 |
| ken | diskin; once installed, it becomes difficult to remove an added desktop. If you just want to try it, better to use virtualbox first. | 14:30 |
| boxici | Hello i need some help! | 14:30 |
| Fen- | mental ? | 14:30 |

| boxici | I am new to ubuntu and i installed it on a virtualbox, so my primary OS is win 7 | 14:31 |
| Marne | hi, I have this issue: when I try to open Synaptics, this error occurs... Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read. Any help? | 14:31 |
| boxici | I installed apache2 and http server on ubuntu and i would like to know how can i access localhost from my primary OS | 14:31 |
| cromag | boxici: are you dualbooting ? | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | boxici: sure, set the network to be bridged and you can access it like another PC on your LAN | 14:32 |
| boxici | no i have ubuntu on virtualbox | 14:32 |
| CluelessPerson | The ubuntu 64 desktop installation isn't detecting my windows partition... | 14:32 |
| CluelessPerson | This concerns me, because I definitely don't want to write over it. | 14:32 |
| cromag | oh - sorry - ActionParsnip has info :) | 14:32 |
| usr13 | mia158: ... but to tell the truth, even if you have a dual core processor, you really should have a specific need for a 64bit OS before going to the trouble of installing it. The standard Ubuntu system sure is nice on a dual core processor and you will not see any noticable performance increase in normal desktop use. (In other words, there are only certain instances where you would take full advange of the 64bit OS.) | 14:32 |
| D_Russ | i swear i am creating more problems for my self. My compiz still wont show :( | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | CluelessPerson, ntfs not showing up in nautilus>places? | 14:33 |
| Tnud | I got a strange problem with my new ubuntu 11.04 installation.. It won't connect to my ethernet and this new interface is confusing me haha. Where do I see if the ethernet card is even installed? | 14:33 |
| boxici | ActionParsnip, i tried that but ubuntu doesnt connect with bridge | 14:34 |
| diskin | ken, exactly! I'm asking because I have already tried :). So, no clean solution except virtual box? | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | boxici: so you shutdown the vbox and change the network to bridged, then powered it up | 14:34 |
| Amdpc | boxici : Have you installed Guest Additions ? | 14:34 |
| CluelessPerson | bluebomber, I'm not sure if it's nautilus but at installation is shows a list of partitions and etc | 14:34 |
| D_Russ | anyone know how to completely remove compiz or restore it to defaults? | 14:34 |
| usr13 | Tnud: YOu should see a little triangle looking thing at top. It's just an outline and top is rounded. | 14:35 |
| CluelessPerson | bluebomber, So I just booted backup into windows and defined the raw partitions to install linux on. | 14:35 |
| Tnud | Yep | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 14:35 |
| Tnud | I see that | 14:35 |
| slipttees | ActionParsnip: done, work perfect :D | 14:35 |

| ActionParsnip | slipttees: np :) | 14:35 |
| usr13 | Tnud: Otherwise, open a terminal and type ifconfig and hit enter. If you only see section for lo then yea, your NIC is not in use. | 14:35 |
| CluelessPerson | I might be back, I'm going to see if this works. | 14:35 |
| slipttees | ActionParsnip: but, ubuntu have this service default | 14:35 |
| slipttees | =] | 14:35 |
| Tnud | ipconfig | 14:36 |
| usr13 | Tnud: If you click on that little image, you should see your network settings. | 14:36 |
| Tnud | sorry, wrong keyboard.. checking now | 14:36 |
| boxici | ActionParsnip, i'm not sure, but i will give it another try... also if you can tell me after i set it to bridge do i have to setup the IP's in ubuntu? | 14:36 |
| slipttees | ubuntu default afp file share protocol | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | boxici: i'd ask in #vbox too | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | slipttees: why, why not use samba or sshfs, its standardized | 14:36 |
| Tnud | No, I have an eth0. I assume that is a working ethernet hardware | 14:37 |
| slipttees | samba sucks =] | 14:37 |

| D_Russ | slipttees: i agree | 14:37 |
| Amdpc | boxici : Yes..u need a IP | 14:37 |
| slipttees | afp work nice, never problem here | 14:37 |
| D_Russ | lost 2 days of my life trying to get it to network an ntfs hdd | 14:37 |
| Tnud | Might be my routher then.. hmmmm | 14:38 |
| boxici | Ok, thank you very much | 14:39 |
| usr13 | Tnud: Did you tell it to connect to a wired network? | 14:39 |
| usr13 | Tnud: You can try (at terminal): sudo dhclient eth0 | 14:39 |
| Tnud | lol | 14:40 |
| Tnud | that worked | 14:40 |
| Tnud | DO I have to do that everytime I boot it up? | 14:40 |
| usr13 | Tnud: Yes, you have to tell it to connect, won't just do it on it's on, not the first time anyway. | 14:40 |
| usr13 | Tnud: If you do it via the network-manager, it will "remember" | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | slipttees: sure but usr13 add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line | 14:41 |
| Tnud | I don't see a wired connection in the manager tho, just the auto echo | 14:41 |
| D_Russ | you know what i just realized. compiz is open, but i changed a setting somehow (i think) that made the entire window completely transparent. | 14:41 |
| thedoctar | hey | 14:42 |
| D_Russ | how do i undo a setting on a completely ransparent windo? | 14:42 |
| usr13 | Tnud: Well, I don't know why the network-manager is not showing the available wired network. But, you should do updates now. | 14:42 |
| usr13 | Tnud: run update-manager | 14:42 |
| Tnud | apt-get update | 14:43 |
| slipttees | ActionParsnip: ? | 14:43 |
| usr13 | Tnud: Yes, and then apt-get upgrade | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | slipttees: wrong nick, sorry | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Tnud: sure but usr13 add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line | 14:43 |
| slipttees | ActionParsnip: okay bro… no problem | 14:43 |
| usr13 | Tnud: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:44 |
| Tnud | oh right, forgot about rc.local | 14:44 |
| thedoctar | hey does anyone know what type of portscan is the portscan in networktools? | 14:44 |
| Tnud | Yepyep | 14:44 |
| Tnud | I've been on my remote server in the terminal for so long I've forgot how to use the gui | 14:44 |
| Tnud | lol | 14:44 |
| joel135 | D_Russ: you disable visual effects so that you can see what you're doing, change it back, and enable visual effects again | 14:44 |
| D_Russ | joel135: how do i do that? | 14:45 |
| bodybody | let's give a try to the new website !!!! | 14:45 |
| bodybody | http://gradethisbody.com | 14:45 |

| FloodBot1 | bodybody: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:45 |
| thedoctar | what's flooding | 14:45 |
| D_Russ | im tempted to click the spam lol | 14:45 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Waht are you saying? He should add a dhclient command to rc.local? | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: sure, it will run just before the login screen and the nick has come up | 14:46 |
| fireprint | not sure if this falls under the ubuntu help. However in ubuntu, when i ssh from this laptop to my server.. log in and work a bit. it lags up abit once in a while. this does not happen if i am locally on the computer. and im ssh'ing a local ip. Any ideas? | 14:46 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Oh, ok. | 14:46 |
| CluelessPerson | Alright | 14:47 |
| CluelessPerson | So I'm in ubuntu now, but via boot disk | 14:47 |
| usr13 | Tnud: Add line: dhclient eth0 to /etc/rc.local (above exit 0 ) | 14:47 |
| CluelessPerson | Anyone know why ubuntu install isn't any of the partitions I've already set up? | 14:47 |
| CluelessPerson | detecting | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: if you run: sudo parted -l do you see Ext4 partitions? | 14:48 |
| D_Russ | how do i turn off visual effects without compiz? | 14:48 |
| rigved | fireprint: this looks like a problem with your server. run top and check if any process is causing this. | 14:48 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, I haven't made ext4 partitions yet, but sure, I'll look | 14:49 |
| fireprint | rigved, eventhough this does not happen when i am at the computer? | 14:49 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, in the past, ubuntu would detect windows partitions, allow me to make more, resize, etc | 14:49 |
| rigved | fireprint: there might be some process that is causing the sudden increase in processing %. if no, then more investigation is required regarding this. | 14:50 |
| usr13 | CluelessPerson: I know... It seems that the [new] partitioning screens are a bit less intuative (to me it is anyway). | 14:51 |
| fireprint | rigved, ah ok i see. well i have 102 tasks.. cpu at 0.3 at highest..mem is 0.0 up to 1.4.. 101sleeping i dont know what is. Does this say anything to you sir? | 14:51 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, I have a weird message. "/dev/sda" contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted - - possibly by a program that doesn't undersatnd GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Is this a GPT partition table? yes/no?" | 14:51 |
| ge2x | I installed Ubuntu into my IDE drive and my NTFS patitions are on a SATA drive. They mount ok, but I need them to mount on startup. Should I edit fstab or is there a "pretier" way? | 14:51 |
| CluelessPerson | usr13, the new one askes me if I want to install in the whole 31GB o my 32 GB SSD | 14:52 |
| Polah | ge2x: Add their IDs and options to your fstab | 14:52 |
| CluelessPerson | I have clue what it's asking exactly, thus google! What is a GPT partition table?" :p | 14:52 |
| Nickel | how do i turn the brightness up? i'm looking through system settings and not finding it :X | 14:53 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, I think it's a yes | 14:53 |
| CluelessPerson | Nickel, system -> preferences -> monitors? | 14:53 |
| mnour_ | #linuxac | 14:53 |
| compdoc | ge2x, fstab is the best way | 14:54 |
| CluelessPerson | Nickel, herm, I dunno | 14:54 |
| rigved | fireprint: not really. are you experiencing a lag right now? | 14:54 |
| fireprint | rigved, 99.3%id.. dunno what that is though, | 14:54 |
| D_Russ | is there anyway to disable visual effects without compiz? | 14:54 |
| Nickel | CluelessPerson, i see monitor settings, but no brightness controlls | 14:54 |
| fireprint | rigved, well it seems to refrsh every 3 sec. having something called messageb come up once in a while. | 14:54 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, Well, I ran your command, and no ext partions are reported, but I hadn't made any yet | 14:55 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, The problem is that it's not reporting the 3 partitions I already made on it. | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: log off an log into Ubuntu Classic session instead | 14:55 |
| fireprint | rigved, and seeing that this does not happen locally either on this laptop nor on the server.. only from putty. im abit out of ideas hehe | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: not sure then , very weird | 14:55 |
| CluelessPerson | 20GB NTFS for windows, 5GB storage, 5GB for linux RAW | 14:55 |
| openvoid | ubuntu classic - no effects | 14:55 |
| D_Russ | ActionParsnip, thanks | 14:55 |
| CluelessPerson | This is an SSD | 14:55 |
| Nickel | does anyone know how to change brightness? | 14:56 |
| usr13 | Nickel: In most rooms, there is a lightswitch on the wall over near the door. | 14:58 |
| usr13 | ... sorry, couldn't resist. | 14:58 |
| usr13 | Nickel: Is this a laptop? | 14:58 |
| Nickel | usr13, yessir | 14:58 |
| Nickel | usr13, silly goose. | 14:59 |
| usr13 | Do you have f-key for it? | 14:59 |
| fireprint | Nickel, if its a laptop you should have some FN buttons to up the bright.. | 14:59 |
| Nickel | oh yeah? nice. | 14:59 |
| rigved | fireprint: messageb = Message Bus ( needed for dbus ) <-- got this off the internet. so this does not tell us much either. are you experiencing a lag right now? | 14:59 |
| fireprint | oh sorry usr13, didnt see you helping out. sorry for buttin in :) | 14:59 |
| Nickel | usr13, no, not sure what that is | 14:59 |
| Mokilok | How do I kill a process once I have the process ID? | 14:59 |
| usr13 | What, the switch on the wall? | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Mokilok: run: kill PID | 15:00 |
| Stanley00 | Mokilok: use kill PID | 15:00 |
| Nickel | usr13, lol, i'm not sure what f-key is | 15:00 |
| fireprint | rigved, no not really.. its just when i type, say commands in terminal or whatever.. it all of a sudden stops.. and then returns after 6-7sec. | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Mokilok: if it refuses to die and you REALLY want it dead: kill -9 PID | 15:00 |
| Nickel | something i need to download in apt | 15:00 |
| Nickel | ? | 15:00 |
| usr13 | Nickel: Oh, I meant fn key | 15:00 |
| Nickel | do i have function keys? o.o yes | 15:00 |
| Nickel | lol | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Mokilok: if the process is owned by another user, use: sudo kill PID etc | 15:00 |
| The_BROS | where to find the list of different radio podcasts for Banshee? | 15:01 |
| Mokilok | It was my process, VLC had crashed and wouldn't close. I got it now guys, thank you. | 15:01 |
| Nickel | usr13, they don't seem to do anything though | 15:01 |
| g0rs | has anybody used evolution with pgp? | 15:01 |
| usr13 | Nickel: Does it change when you plug or un-plug power cord? | 15:02 |
| fireprint | rigved, the thing is, it gets the packets sent and recieved without issues. Could it be putty? | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Mokilok: np man | 15:02 |
| Nickel | usr13, i found a menu i'm looking into o.o | 15:02 |
| Polah | g0rs: Evolution supports the use of GPG keys for signing | 15:02 |
| rigved | fireprint: you will need to check the internet for any bugs with the version that you are running. | 15:02 |
| CluelessPerson | ubuntu's gparted isn't detecting my partitions on my SSD, so I can't install ubuntu. | 15:03 |
| fireprint | rigved, version of putty you mean? | 15:03 |
| usr13 | Nickel: I'm also thinking that the keyboard map may not have been set right during install, (but usually, the defaults get it right most every time). | 15:03 |
| Nickel | usr13, o.o apparently it's 100% it seems kinda... dull. | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: tried updating gparted? | 15:03 |
| g0rs | Polah: it doesn't have inbuilt pgp security decryption features | 15:03 |
| Nickel | usr13, it's set to US lol | 15:03 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, I haven't, I just downloaded this iso this morning, and I haven't installed ubuntu | 15:03 |
| usr13 | Nickel: Yea, but if the FN keys don't work, I don't know what's up with that. | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | CluelessPerson: you can update apps in the live environment | 15:04 |
| fireprint | rigved, just been pinging 8.8.8.8 for a while.. no lag. it just appears when it pleases. Oh well.. ill look into putty issues. Thank you kindly sir. Appreciated. | 15:04 |
| usr13 | Nickel: Can you turn it down with the FN key combination? | 15:04 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, I just did sudo apt-get update | 15:04 |
| CluelessPerson | ActionParsnip, that correct? | 15:04 |
| Nickel | usr13, what combination? | 15:04 |
| usr13 | CluelessPerson: If you are into post-install mode; You should now do apt-get upgrade | 15:05 |
| rigved | fireprint: putty@projects.tartarus.org <-- here. you can send an e-mail to this address, giving details about your session and problems. you could include relevant parts of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages. | 15:05 |
| CluelessPerson | usr13, I'm just on liveusb now | 15:05 |
| rigved | fireprint: you are welcome. | 15:05 |
| usr13 | Nickel: Well, I don't know, I can't see your keyboard. Turn the lights on. | 15:05 |
| usr13 | CluelessPerson: Oh, ok | 15:06 |

| usr13 | CluelessPerson: There you go. | 15:06 |
| jack009 | hello there | 15:06 |
| usr13 | Nickel: No, you would see it there on the keyboard. | 15:06 |

| ActionParsnip | jack009: e.g. which gedit will return: /usr/bin/gedit | 15:11 |

| CluelessPerson | I'll deal with it though, this is a netbook, I'll just store things on the server | 15:13 |
| fireprint | rigved, no lag what so ever.. pheew!.. Thanks again for helping out man. appreciated | 15:13 |

| diaz9943_2 | error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' | 15:52 |

| al_nz1 | ikonia: installing zoneminder shoudl have created /var/www/zm - it didnt | 15:52 |
| RussellAlan | perfect answer | 15:52 |
| ikonia | diaz9943_2: it's not running | 15:52 |
| pythonsnake | ikonia: ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 15:52 |
| ikonia | al_nz1: why do you think that ? | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest78544: do you use keys for authentication? | 15:52 |
| al_nz1 | I created var/www/zm but of course pointing the browser to that shows a empty index | 15:52 |
| diaz9943_2 | ikonia: it wont start either.. | 15:52 |
| ikonia | al_nz1: as in why do you think it should have created that directory | 15:52 |
| rk1960 | how can i import ubuntu default keys? i think mine are broken... i dont trust restore defaults | 15:52 |
| ikonia | diaz9943_2: ok, so why are you trying to change the password if you know it won't start | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest78544: what accont are you connecting with? | 15:53 |
| ikonia | diaz9943_2: how do you expect to change the password if you know it's not running | 15:53 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: any codecs you want to use | 15:53 |
| al_nz1 | ikonia : docs say it should | 15:53 |
| llutz | Guest78544: its either firewalled or doesn't run at all on default port | 15:53 |
| ikonia | al_nz1: which docs ? | 15:53 |
| al_nz1 | and service zm start gives error "zm: unreocngised service" | 15:53 |
| excelsior | We have several USB wifi adapters in my office, Linksys WUSB100, and I'm troubleshooting them. They seemed to work under Windows just fine. The computers they are on are old, and I think I may have found the USB2 slot on one, since it seems to work here and not in any other slots. Any thoughts? | 15:53 |
| ikonia | al_nz1: again, which docs are telling you this | 15:53 |
| Guest78544 | i turn off firewall with firestarter on both machines | 15:53 |
| diaz9943_2 | ikonia: ... Problem is, I cant start it either.. tells me:"start: Job failed to start | 15:53 |

| al_nz1 | ikonia: finding link...... | 15:54 |
| ikonia | rigved: lo can't be down | 15:54 |
| Benkinooby | ikonia, hextasy thank you two for your valuable input. i used the mac to format it. maybe if i got some time i'll checkout the mkfs.hfs_plus and see how it works | 15:54 |
| ikonia | diaz9943_2: please do "sudo service mysql start" and pastebin the output | 15:54 |
| ikonia | Benkinooby: don't use mkfs.hfs, use the mac | 15:54 |
| diaz9943_2 | ikonia: no need to pastebin 5 words? it says "start: Job failed to start" | 15:55 |
| Benkinooby | ikonia, i used the mac | 15:55 |
| ikonia | Benkinooby: good call | 15:55 |
| rigved | ikonia: maybe. but i was reading a forum post in which one person had this same problem and said that lo was down. maybe by running ifdown lo or something like that. | 15:55 |
| Benkinooby | ikonia, but i want the try the mkfs.hfs for fun later... or is it very experimental? | 15:55 |
| TC|Ubuntu | Can you have MSN on jabber opr do you have to download it separately? | 15:55 |

| ikonia | vick: sorry, ignote that | 15:55 |
| al_nz1 | ikonia: ok - I cant find the link, BUT zoneminder is accessed through a apache server, and therefore it needs to have a dir under /var/www | 15:55 |
| ikonia | diaz9943_2: what version of ubuntu is this | 15:56 |
| diaz9943_2 | ikonia: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS | 15:56 |
| Benkinooby | pythonsnake, hi | 15:56 |
| ikonia | al_nz1: this is an ubuntu install and the apache layout is different, don't worry about physical file locations, worry about using the gui to configure it | 15:56 |

| usr13 | Guest78544: is this a direct connection, or are you going through a router? | 16:03 |

| ikonia | diaz9943_2: I've told you 3 times, look in the config for what it calls, look for where it calls mysqld_safe and run that manually | 16:09 |
| diaz9943_2 | ikonia: Look in what config file..? | 16:09 |

| diaz9943_2 | ikonia: /etc/int/mysql.conf dosnt mention any mysqld_safe | 16:10 |
| pythonsnake | ok | 16:10 |

| diaz9943_2 | ikonia: and where is mysqld_safe located..? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | diaz9943_2: /usr/bin normally, have a look, search the file system | 16:12 |
| ikonia | diaz9943_2: although I advise you to find the init script and call it how ubuntu does | 16:13 |
| diaz9943_2 | ikonia: /usr/bin/mysqld_safe.. start spamming "Nymber of processes running now: 0. Mysqld restarted | 16:14 |

| ikonia | Guest78544: ok, so you know ssh is listening on the remote host, what happens if you do "ssh $host_ip" | 16:26 |
| ikonia | jpds: way to make a beast | 16:26 |
| jrtech | Guest78544: sshd is runnimg but not acceptong connection on port 22? | 16:27 |

| dr_willis | marcusdavidus: I dont recall seeing anyone saying you are trolling. but Your spelling/english does need some work. and being insulting wont get you any help any faster. Ive never seen an option to hide icon text on kde. but ive not used it in several months. | 16:27 |
| zykotick9 | Benkinooby, there is a Pulse Equalizer available from a PPA floating around - see http://exploreubuntu.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/equalizer-for-pulse-audio/ for some details. Good luck. | 16:29 |

| Guest78544 | lost internet connection on host | 16:31 |
| Guest78544 | trying ssh ip address again but not doing anything | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | marcusdavidus: that looks like a 'circle launcher' plasmid to me. that i recall seeing ages ago. | 16:32 |
| dr_willis | ive neer noticed a way to rotate icons either like that. but i havent used kde in 6+mo. | 16:32 |
| OchoZero9 | I can't boot in my computer. When in logged into windows i deleted my ubuntu partition. Now Instead of the Grub menu, i get "error: no such partition. Grub rescue> _ | 16:32 |

| dr_willis | OchoZero9: you want to reinstall linux? or are you going Just windows now? | 16:33 |
| marcusdavidus | man this is my screnshot thios are icons i put in circle by draging them omg how to remove name formthis 2 icons i oforgot how i id that before | 16:33 |
| ikonia | OchoZero9: you need to put the bootloader for windows back | 16:33 |
| ikonia | marcusdavidus: please stop cross-posting | 16:33 |
| OchoZero9 | I'm going to just use windows now, because this hard drive is small. I have linux in my desktop | 16:34 |
| ikonia | OchoZero9: the guys in ##windows can explain how to put the windows boot loader back | 16:34 |
| dr_willis | OchoZero9: you need to restore the windows bootloader/mbr. theres guides online on how to do that.. depending on the versionof windows | 16:34 |
| YAKM | marcusdavidus: this is "daisy" not icons. It's a plasma widget like a dock | 16:35 |
| OchoZero9 | thanks | 16:35 |
| llutz | Guest78544: thats why you should use "ssh -o CheckHostIP no user@host" else it will complain with every ip-change | 16:35 |

| gagandeep | hi all i am new to linux and am using ubuntu 11.04 , i just want to start asking basic questions so i just wanted to know if this is right place to ask questions or should i go some other place | 16:36 |
| Polah | gagandeep: It is, ask away. | 16:37 |
| marcusdavidus | t when ppl telling me that i got freekign something just bcause i put icons in circle its hilarious:P | 16:37 |
| nuclearworm | hello, is there an internet accelerator/optimizer on ubuntu repositories? | 16:37 |
| ubun | dr_willis: hmmm. let me check. | 16:37 |
| lmnop | lol | 16:37 |
| ikonia | marcusdavidus: I suggest you leave now, and come back when you have a better attitude, they are trying to help | 16:37 |
| Guest78544 | command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | marcusdavidus: they are rotated at an angle also. ive never seen that done with normal icons. | 16:37 |
| llutz | Guest78544: thats an ooohhh | 16:38 |
| Guest78544 | when using ssh -o user@host | 16:38 |
| llutz | Guest78544: ssh -o CheckHostIP no user@host | 16:38 |
| Guest78544 | ah will try again sorry | 16:38 |
| ubun | dr_willis: no it does not work either. | 16:38 |
| dr_willis | ubun: any error messages? | 16:38 |
| llutz | Guest78544: just replace "user@host" | 16:39 |
| ubun | dr_willis:no just not the right the user login or pass | 16:39 |
| TreesOnPipe | why isnt my ubuntu not picking up cache? | 16:39 |
| gagandeep | ok is it kernel in any linux dostro that makes it hardware independent or some other thing | 16:40 |
| Guest78544 | command-line line 0: Missing yes/no argument. error | 16:40 |
| dr_willis | ubun: thats weird. You could try booting a live cd, and chrooting in and adding a new user. | 16:40 |
| gagandeep | ? | 16:40 |
| dr_willis | ubun: you sure your caps lock is not on? :) | 16:40 |
| TreesOnPipe | when ever it says | 16:40 |
| TreesOnPipe | its not accepting the cache and its giving me erros | 16:40 |
| TreesOnPipe | errors | 16:40 |
| ubun | asks for "tobe: login" my user name is tobe... then the pass same as always. and i hope the capslocks is the problem | 16:40 |
| dr_willis | TreesOnPipe: what 'cache' are you refering to? | 16:40 |
| Guest78544 | llutz command-line line 0: Missing yes/no argument. error | 16:41 |
| TreesOnPipe | dr_willis, its some cache of a software | 16:41 |
| jrtech | Guest78544: it is possible the user you are using do not have privillage to use ssh? | 16:41 |
| marcusdavidus | drwillis this si my screenshot i plasma doing this omg stop i know how too it :P bu its not work on opera icon somehow | 16:41 |
| llutz | Guest78544: what was your exact command? | 16:41 |
| Fanshawe | Could someone help me out with Evolution? 'On This Computer' is driving me crazy, giving me duplicate messages. | 16:41 |
| TreesOnPipe | dr_willis, do i have to execute something to install the cache on ubuntu? | 16:41 |
| dr_willis | TreesOnPipe: install? still not sure what cache you mean. If you are wanting to update the repository package listing. it would be 'sudo apt-get update' | 16:42 |
| Guest78544 | ssh -o CheckHostIP no user@host with user and host replaced my user and host details | 16:42 |
| padhu | MiniHOWTO is needed for simple & easy mail server configuration on ubuntu 10.04 for private LAN | 16:43 |
| ikonia | padhu: there are guides on https://help.ubuntu.com in the server section | 16:43 |
| TreesOnPipe | dr_willis | 16:43 |
| llutz | Guest78544: my bad, "ssh -o CheckHostIP=no user@host" | 16:43 |
| Guest78544 | ah ok lol | 16:43 |
| __MAX | padhu: try howtoforge.com | 16:44 |
| ikonia | howtoforge.com is terrible, please ignore it | 16:44 |
| rostayob | is there a good browser with low memory consumption? | 16:44 |
| __MAX | ikonia :y | 16:44 |
| __MAX | iuse before two weeks | 16:44 |
| llutz | rostayob: links2 | 16:44 |
| dr_willis | rostayob: theres alterantive browsers like midori that are decent. | 16:44 |
| Guest78544 | ssh: Could not resolve hostname host Name or service not known | 16:44 |
| MonkeyDust | rostayob: midori | 16:44 |
| fuho | Hi,I am wondering if I should install Ubuntu 11.04 32b or 64b on my VPS. Any suggestions? I will be running LAMPP, Samba, OpenVPN server and will experiment a lot. | 16:44 |
| dr_willis | rostayob: it depends on what you need init. | 16:44 |
| rostayob | well a text browser like links is not an option | 16:45 |
| Guest78544 | replaced with my host anme | 16:45 |
| TreesOnPipe | dr_willis | 16:45 |
| rostayob | midori is the gtk+webkit one right? | 16:45 |
| padhu | _MAX: sure. | 16:45 |
| Polah | fuho: How much memory is available? | 16:45 |
| TreesOnPipe | its java related cache | 16:45 |
| llutz | Guest78544: use ip-address | 16:45 |
| rostayob | will it make a difference from chrome? | 16:45 |
| TreesOnPipe | currwently its says "error loading, please report" | 16:45 |
| fuho | Polah: 1GB, 2GB bursts | 16:46 |
| dr_willis | TreesOnPipe: no idea what sort of cache java is talking about then. Perhaps clarify the exact issue and error messages and where they are comming from. | 16:46 |
| MonkeyDust | rostayob: no two browsers are exactly the same | 16:46 |
| Guest78544 | ssh: connect to host myip port 22: Connection refused | 16:46 |
| Polah | fuho: You could use 32-bit for some potentially better application compatibility, but that's not really a huge issue any more. 64-bit could offer some small performance increases, it would also leave room for upgrading available memory later as well. | 16:46 |
| Guest78544 | i am wondering if sshd is working properly | 16:47 |
| al_nz1 | how do I reset networking in Ubuntu? I have a red cross on my lan icon | 16:47 |
| al_nz1 | should just be dhcp from my router | 16:48 |
| MonkeyDust | al_nz1: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 16:48 |
| llutz | Guest78544: sounds as it doesn't. you had been connected once, all other attempts failed. check /var/log/messages or syslog on server for any sshd-related errors | 16:48 |
| fuho | Polah: Thanks, I am trying to avoid ALL unnecessary issues and memory upgrade won't happen :( | 16:48 |
| fuho | So the processing loss shouldn't be that big if I stick to32b right? | 16:49 |
| al_nz1 | MonkeyDust: ta but it didnt fix it | 16:49 |
| L0cky | I'm looking at a cheap cloud ubuntu server for basic dev lamp stack and some git repos, all private except a minimal traffic blog. Would a very simple mail server with 3-5 low traffic mailboxes be much of a problem with 256mb ram? | 16:49 |
| dr_willis | do dddddd | 16:50 |
| llutz | L0cky: should be no problem | 16:50 |
| __MAX | padhu: 100 % workin server and mail download,http://fullcirclemagazine.org/special-edition-1-the-perfect-server/ | 16:50 |
| L0cky | thanks | 16:50 |
| al_nz1 | MonkeyDust: what else could I do | 16:50 |
| fuho | Polah: One more question, should I use Ubuntu 11.04 or 10.04 LTS? Generally it is suggested to use the latest build, right? | 16:50 |
| padhu | _MAX: okey, let me readout | 16:51 |
| __MAX | kk | 16:51 |
| dr_willis | do vps's even come in 64/32bit flavors? ive noticed that befor. | 16:51 |
| Guest78544 | hello | 16:52 |
| Polah | fuho: 10.04 may be more stable as it's an LTS. Also, like dr_willis said, check with your hosts as to whether or not your VPS can actually support a 64-bit system. | 16:52 |
| fuho | dr_willis: Yes, I can pick from 3 Arch ditros, 10 CentOS,8 Debians, 2 Fedoras, 2 Suse, and 9 Ubuntus | 16:52 |
| dr_willis | 9 ubuntus? make me wonder what 9.. heh.. | 16:53 |
| mang0 | How do I remove a ppa? | 16:54 |
| IamTrying | Ubuntu 10.04 do not support USB 3.0? I connected one device and system is freeze. | 16:54 |
| IamTrying | Ubuntu 11.04 only support USB3.0? | 16:54 |
| fuho | dr_willis: 10.04,10.04-LAMP,10.10,11.04 32b.64b | 16:54 |
| Polah | mang0: Install ppa-purge then run ppa-purge ppa:ppa/name | 16:54 |
| dr_willis | mang0: theres a ppa-purge command to remove packages it installed from it. | 16:54 |
| mang0 | Polah, dr_willis: thanks | 16:55 |
| eman_ | how do i query my computer to find out it's netbios name? | 16:55 |
| ActionParsnip | mang0: gnome3 ppa per chance? | 16:56 |

| dr_willis | Been using Opera and really havent missed many FF plugins. :) | 16:57 |
| TreesOnPipe | dr_willis thanks for no help | 16:57 |
| TreesOnPipe | :( | 16:57 |
| ActionParsnip | TreesOnPipe: cache of what? | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | TreesOnPipe: when asking questions. You should give a bit more detail expecially when youa re refering to the JAVA cache. | 16:58 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: I only need to switch to firefox for this: http://kylebernard.com/?p=132 for me it says "missing plugin" | 16:58 |

| syrinx_priest | Hi all :) Dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu 11.04. After reinstalling Win7 and then fixing grub, now when I boot into Natty and open Gparted, it shows my entire drive as "Unallocated" :O | 17:08 |
| gagan3019 | hi , i am new to linux | 17:08 |
| mang0 | gagan3019: Welcome :) | 17:09 |
| syrinx_priest | Gparted shows a warning "Can't have overlapping partitions" | 17:09 |
| lighta | hi guys, where is chromium config files ? I can't find any .chromium folder | 17:09 |
| gagan3019 | so i wanted to know that what is in linux that makes it hardware platform independet | 17:09 |
| gagan3019 | ? | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | syrinx_priest: if you run: sudo fdisk -l does it say the same? | 17:09 |
| dr_willis | gardar: its compiled for each platform... | 17:09 |
| th0r | gagan3019: it isn't | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | lighta: ~/.config/chromium | 17:10 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: Did you say you have quicktime installed and are using opera? How do I get quicktime addon for opera on linux? Or do I just install quicktime for linux...? | 17:10 |
| dr_willis | bbl. | 17:10 |
| syrinx_priest | ActionParsnip: No, it doesn't say anything similar | 17:10 |
| lighta | thx ActionParsnip =) | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | mang0: I use chromium daily build and arora | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | syrinx_priest: showing all partitions ok? | 17:10 |
| Polah | gagan3019: There's just generic drivers included with some distributions, like Ubuntu that allow it to basically function on a large array of hardware. | 17:10 |
| gagan3019 | th0r:are you saying that linux is not hardware independent | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | lighta: its cache folder is in ~/.cache/chrome | 17:11 |
| * gardar slaps dr_willis | 17:11 | |
| syrinx_priest | ActionParsnip: Yes | 17:11 |
| th0r | gagan3019: that's right. It has been compiled to run on a large array of hardware, but it is by no means hardware independent | 17:11 |
| gagan3019 | ok | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | syrinx_priest: not sure then, sounds like an issue with parted. gparted is just a gui for parted | 17:11 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: I see. | 17:11 |
| syrinx_priest | ActionParsnip: Yes | 17:12 |
| syrinx_priest | ActionParsnip: Oops... meant "Ah, ok" | 17:12 |
| gagan3019 | th0r : only kernel or any other thing | 17:12 |

| meltey | hi :) | 17:14 |
| meltey | could pls someone help me with ubuntu login screen? Im using Natty | 17:15 |
| metatagg | meltey: what's ur problem? | 17:15 |
| meltey | I want to turn it off , so after the boot, I will login using terminal and then turn gnome interface on | 17:15 |
| metatagg | hmm | 17:15 |
| metatagg | u can uninstall gdm | 17:15 |
| Petskull | wow... I just had a heart attack with Unity | 17:16 |
| meltey | yeah, but I need gdm | 17:16 |
| Petskull | what a crappy UI | 17:16 |
| yeats | Headcase_Fargone: just describe your problem and perhaps someone will know | 17:16 |
| * Petskull clicks Ubuntu Classic | 17:16 | |
| meltey | I need only to have it turned off and I will turn it on when i want :) | 17:16 |
| Polah | Petskull: Don't use it then. Simple as that. | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: gotcha, theres one with a really OTT animation for an email | 17:16 |
| Petskull | yeah... I was giving it a shot | 17:17 |
| Petskull | stupid | 17:17 |
| Headcase_Fargone | Attempting to create two 3TB extended partitions, but disk utility and even GParted GUI don't seem to want anything to do with a partition over 2TB. Each throws different errors. | 17:17 |
| metatagg | i think u can use update-alternatives to set it to off | 17:17 |
| metatagg | not sure though.. :/ | 17:17 |
| Atamisk | meltey: have you tried removing the exec script for gdm in /etc/init.d? | 17:17 |
| meltey | where can I find update-alternatives pls? | 17:17 |
| llua | ♪: Kool G Rap - My Life | 17:17 |
| Headcase_Fargone | So I came across a page describing a way to create them using the parted command from console. Followed the instructions and I *appear* to have a partition but I'm unable to do anything at all with it | 17:17 |
| M1N1Me | use LVM! | 17:17 |
| Headcase_Fargone | Can't create files/directories, etc | 17:17 |
| dc5ala | meltey, have a look at /etc/init/gdm.conf and comment the start on and stop on lines | 17:17 |
| meltey | Atamisk : sry Im new to ubuntu, Im not that skilled :D | 17:17 |
| Atamisk | ahh, hang on, i'll see what i can find for you | 17:18 |
| Polah | meltey: I believe GRUB can be configured to start up the system without X, but you'd have to reconfigure Ubuntu to start on tty1 instead of 7, else you'd have to switch to another first | 17:18 |
| zykotick9 | melter, ignore Atamisk's suggestion! just move /etc/init/gdm.conf to gdm.conf.disabled and you're all good | 17:18 |

| Petskull | ok, Alt-f2 works, so I can always 'metacity --replace' if things get hairy | 17:22 |
| Polah | tallis: nginx appears to be in the repositories | 17:22 |
| tallis | what do you mean? | 17:23 |
| yeats | tallis: it means you don't have to build from source | 17:23 |

| mrdeb | i dont think so | 17:34 |
| sivakumar_ | hey anyone know about vmware in ubuntu reply me please????? | 17:34 |
| Polah | ubun: You can't add users in the live session normally to your system, you'd be add the user to the live system, not your usual system. Mounting your system drive and then chrooting may do it though | 17:34 |
| mrdeb | you can save your config files | 17:34 |

| === Fredrick is now known as Guest78404 | ||
| Polah | ubuntu: Boot the live session, mount your system drive then do sudo chroot /mount/point, then do adduser and suchlike, that should do it | 17:36 |
| mrdeb | i would jsut save the config files to flash, then make a list of programs to install, and after full install to it from termailn with apt-get | 17:36 |
| ubun | polah: i tried that. the whole mount /dev/sda1 thing... | 17:36 |
| sh1ny | or you can plan ahead and install your ubuntu with lvm , having /home on a separate lv helps keeping your stuff across reinstalls | 17:37 |
| yeats | tallis: you might ask about this in #nginx | 17:37 |
| ubun | yeah i went by the instructions on the ubuntu site | 17:37 |
| tallis | I did yeats but it's .. an inactive channel right now. | 17:37 |
| Polah | ubun: Yeah, but did you chroot? | 17:37 |
| wOOry | Petskull ...plz tell me more........... | 17:37 |
| ubun | yeah. | 17:37 |
| tallis | i'll try 1.0.6 | 17:37 |
| tallis | see if that gets anywhere | 17:37 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | yeats: you need patience in #nginx... | 17:37 |
| Petskull | wOOry, imagine a bunch of webpages that all link to each other | 17:37 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | we arent all on 24/7 | 17:37 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | er | 17:37 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | tallis: ^ | 17:38 |
| sh1ny | 1.0.6 works just fine tallis , unless there's something specific that you requier ? | 17:38 |
| sh1ny | require* | 17:38 |
| yeats | TheEvilPhoenix: ;-) | 17:38 |
| th0r | wOOry: how about a filter to automatically ban script kiddies who insist on talking off-topic | 17:38 |
| grobda24 | sh1ny, yes, but that means mounting using a mount command ? It's convenient using the GUI to mount. | 17:38 |

| tallis | well it got past make | 17:38 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | tallis: you need to wait on average up to 3 hours before getting a response in IRC channels... #nginx follows that pattern | 17:38 |
| Petskull | th0r, heh, sorry | 17:38 |
| yeats | tallis: if you're installing that version, I would recommend adding the PPA and apt-get-ing | 17:39 |
| KM0201 | th0r: that would be near impossible... | 17:39 |
| sh1ny | grobda24, well then you can use mc to mount the smbfs in it and edit it through it :) | 17:39 |
| Fen- | what command line option displays folder size ? | 17:39 |
| Fen- | i mean command | 17:39 |
| tallis | idk how to add PPA... or what apt-geting is | 17:39 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | yeats: the GC always recommends the PPA over the normal repos | 17:39 |
| Fen- | in terminal | 17:39 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | ;P | 17:39 |
| th0r | KM0201: but it would keep him busy, and off irc | 17:39 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | for nginx | 17:39 |
| sh1ny | tallis, add-apt-repository repohere | 17:39 |

| Jackjon89 | really ? so i have to install the OS ? | 18:05 |
| Jackjon89 | re-install* | 18:05 |
| dr_willis | TehAndrewRyan: theres nvidia cards for every budget. | 18:06 |
| Polah | ubun_: That's not what I told you to do. I said to mount it somewhere, i.e. sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt then chroot into it, i.e. sudo chroot /mnt | 18:06 |
| KM0201 | Jackjon89: you can try this, but i wouldn't get my hopes up.. http://www.satansgarden.org/2010/03/05/removing-encryption-from-home-directories-in-ubuntu-9-10/ | 18:06 |
| TehAndrewRyan | dr_willis: i'm looking at either gtx 560/570 or an ati 6950 | 18:06 |
| freddy__ | Hi - I have an old laptop that contains ubuntu dapper dualboot with XP. Now I want to sell it and format the dapper drive to ntfs. I use GRUB to boot it. What will happen to GRUB if I delete the dapper partition from XP ? | 18:06 |
| Jackjon89 | thanks km0, i'll take a look now. i just assumed that if i had admin privs i could somehow disable it heh. | 18:07 |
| KM0201 | freddy__: the mchine will no longer boot. | 18:07 |
| dr_willis | freddy__: reinstall the windows mbr. | 18:07 |
| dr_willis | first. | 18:07 |
| KM0201 | reinstall windows mbr then use a partition tool to reclaim the space | 18:08 |
| freddy__ | KM0201: can I do this from windows or do I have to have the windows boot disk ? | 18:08 |
| TehAndrewRyan | dr_willis: the radeon 6950 is better than the gtx 560, and the 570 is more expensive than the radeon 6950, but probably a bit better. the thing is i want it to be as cheap as possible, while still taking the fastest one | 18:08 |
| ubun_ | polah: thats what i did. that the same exact instructions as on the ubuntu site. | 18:08 |
| Polah | freddy__: If you're going to sell it, you may want to consider zeroing the drive and then reinstalling Windows from there if you have any sensitive data on there | 18:08 |
| Polah | ubun_: What instructions? | 18:08 |
| KM0201 | freddy__: there's a free utility called easus partition editor, that will restore a windows MBR> | 18:08 |
| KM0201 | or mbrfix... those are the two i know of | 18:09 |
| Polah | freddy__: Can also be done from a Windows recovery CD | 18:09 |
| dr_willis | TehAndrewRyan: wont do mych good to go ati if it dont work | 18:09 |
| freddy__ | super thanks guys! | 18:09 |
| ubun_ | polah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery | 18:09 |
| TehAndrewRyan | dr_willis: and ubuntu and ati don't quite like each other, right? (i'm mainly using ubuntu nowadays, but when BF3 is released i'm going to be a lot more on windows) | 18:09 |
| Polah | ubun_: You just did passwd and set a new password? | 18:10 |
| dr_willis | TehAndrewRyan: pick the best nvidia for your $$$ | 18:10 |
| TehAndrewRyan | dr_willis: alright, thanks | 18:10 |
| Jackjon89 | right, think im just going to reinstall ubuntu, doesn't take that long anyway... i'll just choose no encryption...... thanks for the help guys | 18:10 |
| Jackjon89 | :) | 18:10 |
| takitez | hi, anything better/faster than "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=8k" to wipe a disc completely? | 18:12 |
| dr_willis | takitez: just reformat it. ;) | 18:12 |
| Polah | ubun_: If you just did passwd without specifying a user, then you changed the root password. Do the first few steps again up to chrooting, then do passwd <user>, replace <user> with your username, then set a new password. Reboot into your proper system and log in with that password, then run sudo passwd -l roo | 18:13 |
| Polah | dr_willis: Doesn't actually destroy data though, does it? | 18:13 |
| takitez | dr_willis: naa, have to give it away and don't want to make data-recovery too easy | 18:13 |
| dr_willis | Polah: depends on the options. ;) | 18:14 |
| Polah | takitez: There's programs that can do the same thing, like DBAN. Remember that dd will take quite a while, depending on the size of the disk. 1GB will take a few minutes | 18:14 |
| irvken | http://paste.ubuntu.com/696260/ what does this mean? | 18:14 |
| KM0201 | takitez: dban? | 18:14 |
| dr_willis | and your paranoia level | 18:14 |
| * KM0201 is not that paranoid | 18:14 | |
| irvken | http://paste.ubuntu.com/696260/ what does this mean? | 18:14 |
| Polah | DBAN is quite paranoid. One pass with dd from /dev/zero would do, two if you're a bit worried | 18:14 |
| ubun_ | polah: ok let me give it another shot. but i will have to log off. since im in live cd at the moment | 18:14 |
| KM0201 | irv: did you read it?.... | 18:14 |
| irvken | i pasted it | 18:14 |
| Polah | ubun_: Did you do it with passwd username this time? (: | 18:15 |
| KM0201 | irvken: i know, did you read it. | 18:15 |
| sveinse | A shell question: I'm calling cp -a $* /some/dir within a script. $* may contain files or directories. In case of dirs, I'd like to copy the contents of the dir, not the entire dir to the destination. Can this be done with cp in a one-liner? | 18:15 |
| irvken | of course I bloody did | 18:15 |
| ubun_ | polah: i'm about to try | 18:15 |
| irvken | did you | 18:15 |
| KM0201 | irvken: thent here shouldn't really be any question as to what it means | 18:15 |
| Polah | ubun_: No need to log off then... | 18:15 |
| KM0201 | irvken: i'm not the one asking an obvious question. | 18:15 |
| Polah | ubun_: Just chroot in a terminal and then do it, then reboot into your system | 18:15 |
| irvken | I didn't sat what did it say i said what does it mean | 18:16 |
| fireprint | hmm so close to done with setting ubuntu up now. One last thing i cant seem to get sorted is my java. Its installed fine, prints my version on -version and i can watch my youtubes.. however, when i try logging into my bank. It just says i dont have java installed. here were i live it has a java app open up. Anyone got an idea on where/what i should look into? perhaps a java error log? | 18:16 |
| ubun_ | oh right: but i will have to log off to see if it works | 18:16 |
| irvken | twat | 18:16 |
| fireprint | and sorry for the long message. | 18:16 |
| KM0201 | irvken: thus my point, if you can't read that and come to a conclusion of "what does it mean".. then.. i doubt there's anyone that can help you | 18:17 |
| oCean | irvken: that language is not acceptable. Drop that attitude | 18:17 |
| Polah | irvken: You're actually being help into understanding what it means. It's fairly obvious, it does say what the problem is several times. | 18:18 |
| irvken | ask a simple question and all you get are arrogant teenage solipsists trying to be smartarses | 18:18 |
| ubun | . | 18:18 |
| KM0201 | lol | 18:18 |
| irvken | to me it seems to say lm-sensors is installed and then in the next response no it's not | 18:19 |
| irvken | how couuld that be | 18:19 |
| ubun_ | polah: ok i did it and it says enter new unix password then retype. then it says "passwd: password updated successfully" | 18:19 |
| KM0201 | irvken: it doesn't say its not installed | 18:19 |
| KM0201 | it says the commandis not found | 18:19 |
| irvken | ah, ok | 18:19 |
| irvken | thanks | 18:19 |
| Polah | irvken: We're not being arrogant. KM0201 is actually just saying that the answer to your question is right in front of you. It means exactly what it says, the command lm-sensors does not exist. | 18:19 |
| Polah | ubun_: For passwd <your username here>, correct? | 18:19 |
| Exodus | irvken, the packages name is lm-sensors, that doesn't imply that is the name of a command inside the package. | 18:20 |
| Exodus | irvken, you can do a dpk -L <package name> to find out what files are installed with that package. | 18:21 |
| pythonsnake | How to reset ALL settings to default ? | 18:21 |
| pythonsnake | like a new install | 18:21 |
| KM0201 | irvken: i'll try to put aside my arrogant teenage attitude, and suggest you give this a looksie... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto | 18:21 |
| Exodus | irvken, also use 'man' | 18:21 |
| fireprint | haha brings popcorn. this is awesome. | 18:21 |
| Aquacuak | is there any way to know under which user/group is PHP being executed? I'm getting a permission denied in a PHP script i've made so I need to change the owner of the folder I'm trying to read to that of PHP's | 18:21 |
| Aquacuak | ? | 18:21 |
| KM0201 | Aquacuak: cd to the folder then ls -l | 18:22 |
| Aquacuak | KM0201, that's for listing the folders, and showing the group and owner I know | 18:23 |
| Aquacuak | that's not what I want | 18:23 |
| Polah | Aquacuak: I imagine it executes under www-data, for Apache at least | 18:23 |
| tallis | HOw do I make myself a superuser? | 18:23 |
| KM0201 | Aquacuak: sorry, i misunderstood your question. | 18:23 |

| pythonsnake | How to reset ALL settings to default like a fresh new install ? | 18:23 |
| Polah | tallis: gksudo nautilus then do it | 18:24 |
| tallis | punch that into terminal? | 18:24 |
| Polah | pythonsnake: Reinstall | 18:24 |
| pythonsnake | only way ? :'( | 18:24 |
| Polah | tallis: Yes, it'll open nautilus as root, then you should be able to move files into root-owned directories | 18:24 |
| Polah | pythonsnake: Easiest way, probably | 18:24 |
| pythonsnake | will removing home help ? | 18:24 |
| Aquacuak | thank you all | 18:25 |
| KM0201 | pythonsnake: that would make all your programs reset like they were just installed, but not the OS. | 18:25 |
| Polah | pythonsnake: You could delete .application folders in your home to reset preferences for those programs | 18:25 |
| Polah | pythonsnake: But that wouldn't change any system settings | 18:25 |
| pythonsnake | yeah | 18:25 |
| pythonsnake | I want to change theme and stuff | 18:25 |
| pythonsnake | yo Benkinooby ! | 18:25 |

| dr_willis | WebDawg: i would guess abuse and spam | 18:48 |
| new | and this will automatically update them? | 18:48 |

| CanadianPirate | lukususagewgwge do you have torbutton installed? | 21:08 |
| Boom_Farmer | That's why. Flash is a plugin. You must enable plugins to view YouTube. | 21:08 |

| NativeForeigner | Why does it say that 32 bit is recommended. What is the advantage of 32 bit over 64 bit? | 21:13 |
| Mike9863 | When I run ifconfig to see my MAC Address, I see two HWaddr, one for eth0 and one for eth1. How do I know which one is my MAC Address? | 21:13 |
| ex0 | 64 bit supports more memory | 21:13 |
| CanadianPirate | How do you change a mac address with ndiswrapper? | 21:13 |
| ex0 | use | 21:13 |
| dr_willis | NativeForeigner: its 'idiot proofing' 32bit should work.. if you know enough to know what 64bit is.. then you know enough to reserach./decide if you need 64bit. | 21:13 |
| ex0 | macchanger | 21:13 |
| edbian | NativeForeigner: it suggests 32 bit because 32 bit OS will work on 64 bit hardware but 64 bit os will NOT work on 32 bit hardware | 21:13 |
| CanadianPirate | Macchanger did not work. | 21:13 |
| hasenj | Siekacz1 .. | 21:13 |
| CanadianPirate | It always stayed at the original address. | 21:14 |
| edbian | NativeForeigner: so there is a better chance of it working if you choose 32 bit | 21:14 |
| th0r | CanadianPirate: you do it with ifconfig | 21:14 |
| dr_willis | NativeForeigner: i always use 64bit on my hardware that supports it. | 21:14 |
| Siekacz1 | hasenj: yup? | 21:14 |
| ex0 | u need 64 bit processor.. | 21:14 |
| NativeForeigner | edbian: alright, figured. I just throught that was sorta weird. I know what I"m doing with 64 bit, but was just wondering if there were underlying stability isssues or something | 21:14 |

| ex0 | make sure your using macchanger correctly | 21:15 |
| ex0 | man macchanger | 21:15 |
| edbian | NativeForeigner: There is very few situation where 32 bit beats out 64 bit. I think there are still some bits of software that are actually 32 bit code in a wrapper. I think flash is this way on linux right now | 21:15 |
| Boom_Farmer | lukususagewgwge: SHouldn't be. | 21:15 |
| CanadianPirate | maintenance: Does HW have to be capitalized? I have tried without capitilization | 21:15 |

| macuser_ | MonkeyDust, In other words, I am at a friend's house. He has 2 machines, a Mac and a PC. The PC has Windows. We want to destroy the user data on the PC. The PC is dual booted Ubuntu and Windows. The PC has some serious video display issues. Only the terminal is legible | 21:43 |
| macuser_ | MonkeyDust, I can't paste from the PC to pastebin, unless you are saying that I can paste to pastebin from the terminal on the PC | 21:44 |
| MonkeyDust | macuser_: can you link the two pc over a local network? if yes, you can ssh to the remote machine | 21:44 |
| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], I am currently running Ubuntu on the PC, but I can't see the GUI display clearly. I can only see the terminal clearly. | 21:44 |
| pythonsnake | how can i make sure a directory is encrypted? | 21:46 |
| jls2 | Anyoen know how to get ubuntu to be able to cut and paste images from linux to a ICA Citrix session? | 21:46 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: Look around in the menu, somewhere in System or personal preferences. Theres a program known as "Additional Drivers" | 21:46 |
| vilho | does anyone have an explanation why pppd throws up these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/696353/ - I'm using 11.04 (32 bit) | 21:46 |
| macuser_ | MonkeyDust, I am typing to you on a Mac. The problem machine is a PC with Windows and Ubuntu. Are you saying that I can ssh into the Ubuntu Windows machine from the Mac? | 21:46 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: It might have a good graphic card for you. | 21:46 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: Ubuntu is already install though, right? | 21:47 |
| MonkeyDust | macuser_: missed that part, can't say | 21:47 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: of course you can | 21:47 |
| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], Yes, Ubuntu is already installed on a separate partition. The owner wants the Windows user data destroyed. | 21:47 |
| AllOfMe | hmmm | 21:48 |
| KM0201 | !openssh | 21:48 |
| AllOfMe | is he sure, macuser_? | 21:48 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 21:48 |
| MonkeyDust | macuser_: if you manage to ssh to the remote pc, you're saved | 21:48 |
| AllOfMe | Seems drastic | 21:48 |
| KM0201 | mac's have an ssh utility by default i'm pretty sure. | 21:48 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client | 21:48 |
| tonywade | hi | 21:49 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, k, I will get ssh | 21:49 |
| mkanyicy | hi tonywade | 21:49 |
| tonywade | hello mkanyicy | 21:49 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: the machine you're trying to access... you'll need a valid username/password on that machine, the IP address, and if it's behind a router, you'll need to forward port 21/22 (i think, might be 20-21) | 21:50 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, I just intalled openssh-server and openssh-client | 21:51 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, I just installed openssh-server and openssh-client on the Ubuntu partition on the PC | 21:51 |
| MonkeyDust | macuser_: try this: ssh [remote user]@[remote pc] <enter> | 21:51 |
| KM0201 | exactly... | 21:52 |
| MonkeyDust | macuser_: try this: ssh [remote user]@[remote ip] <enter> | 21:52 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, How do I get the IP address of the target machine? I tried ifconfig, but it didn't give me the iIP address | 21:54 |
| macuser_ | MonkeyDust, How do I start a terminal on the Mac? | 21:54 |
| mkanyicy | macuser_: you should know it | 21:54 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: easiest way, is to go whatismyip.com | 21:54 |
| dfcnvt | Is there a plugin for terminal to change color of each letter or word for every .5 second? | 21:54 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: just keep in mind, that will be the network IP, if the machie is behind a router, you're gonna have to forward some ports | 21:55 |
| jls2 | Are both machines on your locak network? | 21:55 |
| MonkeyDust | macuser_: can't say, sorry | 21:55 |
| mkanyicy | dfcnvt: no | 21:55 |
| dfcnvt | :( | 21:55 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: apparently terminal is under application/utilities | 21:55 |
| KM0201 | dfcnvt: that plugin wouldn't even make sense | 21:56 |

| abstrakt | MonkeyDust, have you used a mac in the past... 5 years? | 21:57 |
| abstrakt | 10 years? how long has OSX been out | 21:57 |
| MonkeyDust | abstrakt: no | 21:57 |
| KM0201 | ska: lubuntu would probably work well.. it takes about 2.x gigs w/ a full install | 21:57 |
| dfcnvt | KM0201, sure it does. it's for visual reception to pick things up very quickly instead, being lost or trying to find the phrase somewhere in the text. (beside I think this plugin would be very interesting to observe) | 21:58 |
| patr|ck_ | hello. how can i change the number of workspaces on Ubuntu 11.04.? | 21:58 |

| abstrakt | anyway, how do I get a list of files in a package | 21:58 |
| mkanyicy | abstrakt: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 21:58 |
| KM0201 | ska: a special source? | 21:58 |

| rbookhouse | Hey I thought I had an issue with my realtek wireless driver so I decided to follow some instructions of realteks to install theirs (basically delete the kernel module that came with ubuntu and run "make install' to install theirs)... how can I get the original one back (as I've worked out the wifi on the router was bad NOT the pc) | 22:02 |
| ska | KM0201: Do I need to use the USB Disk Creator tool? | 22:03 |
| KM0201 | ska: yes | 22:03 |
| aixguru | I'm on 11.04 and get errors when I try and run service networking start or service networking stop due to "Unknown instance" | 22:03 |
| KM0201 | ska: download the Lubuntu ISO from lubuntu.net (i'd get 11.04), then use the USB disk creator to put the ISO on a USB, then boot the USB on the netbook. | 22:03 |
| ska | KM0201: thanks.. I also hear that the new Ubuntu 11.X had an eee-pc image inside it too. | 22:04 |
| ska | KM0201: or something similar. | 22:04 |
| KM0201 | ska, i don't really know about that... it has a weird interface that i guess some may compare to some netbook interfaces (called Unity) but it sucks IMO.. | 22:04 |

| TheEvilPhoenix | is there a reason that 'kde-standard' does not run any network manager plugins/tools by default? note this is KDE installed on a standard Ubuntu, not Kubuntu. | 22:05 |
| pr0ton | which external portable hard disk would be best for ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| pr0ton | i mean, so i can create partitions and stuff on it | 22:06 |
| urlin2u | TheEvilPhoenix, open the NM in ubuntu and click all users and auto. | 22:06 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | urlin2u: how would i go about doing that? there's no NM applet/tool loading by default | 22:06 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | or do I have to install networkmanager-kde? | 22:06 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | or w/e it is | 22:06 |
| urlin2u | TheEvilPhoenix, in UBUNTU. | 22:06 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | urlin2u: ah okay | 22:07 |
| urlin2u | :D | 22:07 |
| linty | @pr0ton - i use an external enclosure with a 7200 rpm hard drive installed and it works great | 22:07 |
| pr0ton | linty, which brand? | 22:07 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | urlin2u: i still need a network management interface for KDE though ;P | 22:07 |
| urlin2u | TheEvilPhoenix, that will make it run, or should, when you add another desktop, the original neesd ti be set this waty. | 22:07 |

| jls2 | Anyone know how to get cut and paste working for images between Ubuntu and a Citrix session (Windows)? | 22:08 |
| pythonsnake | Hi | 22:09 |
| pythonsnake | Does Ubuntu have turbo boost support ? i5 | 22:09 |
| linty | @ pr0ton - Antec | 22:09 |
| pr0ton | Seagate or WD doesnt cause any issues right? | 22:09 |
| pr0ton | (like i dont void warranty or anything is it) | 22:10 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | urlin2u: i see. is there a way, though, to get a network manager applet into KDE? kind of a requirement in order to use the VPNs i've got configured | 22:10 |
| Boom_Farmer | pythonsnake: Yes, ubuntu supports overclocking. | 22:10 |
| LukaszTarkowski | Hi people | 22:10 |
| pythonsnake | Not really overclocking.. Turbo Boost | 22:10 |
| LukaszTarkowski | I was looking for solution to my problem Ubuntu won't detect Momentus® XT Solid State Hybrid Drives | 22:10 |
| urlin2u | TheEvilPhoenix, if you do what I suggest I believe you will have one. | 22:10 |
| LukaszTarkowski | I cannot find it | 22:10 |
| aixguru | jls2: normal text copy paste should work if I recall right, but copy and past of objects does not go through between windows and citrix. there is no way I have found to make that work or documentation surrounding it | 22:10 |
| linty | @ pr0ton - they are meant to work with any internal hard drive you want | 22:11 |
| macuser_ | MonkeyDust, I was able to ssh into the Ubuntu PC, and I was able see the contents of /media/windisk, but it is the same thing that I am seeing on the Ubuntu PC | 22:11 |
| LukaszTarkowski | Why won't Ubuntu see my partititons at all | 22:11 |
| linty | any internal 3.5 hard drive i should say | 22:11 |
| jls2 | aixguru, thanks. I havent been able to find anything either :/ | 22:11 |
| LukaszTarkowski | This time I will stay and wait for an answer | 22:11 |
| Jordan_U | LukaszTarkowski: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? | 22:11 |
| MonkeyDust | macuser_: in terminal, type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit and paste it here | 22:11 |
| LukaszTarkowski | I don't have Ubuntu installed | 22:12 |
| LukaszTarkowski | Won't detected it Jordan_U | 22:12 |
| MonkeyDust | macuser_: i mean: on the remote machine | 22:12 |
| aixguru | jls2: in general the citrix client under linux seems to be a bit more limited. I have also run into the same thing under Mac OS X. | 22:12 |
| urlin2u | TheEvilPhoenix, the kubuntu is considered another user, by the nm, so auto connect and all users, in the edit of ubuntu's NM | 22:12 |
| pythonsnake | is there any app for turbo boost ? | 22:13 |
| Jordan_U | LukaszTarkowski: Please boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB, run "sudo parted -l" and pastebin the output. | 22:13 |
| LukaszTarkowski | ok I will be back | 22:13 |
| LukaszTarkowski | let me make the bottable usb | 22:14 |
| jls2 | aixguru, yeah. Seems like they did just enough to get it to work. No real perks. A shame, because I wanted to cut and paste my failboat pics from firefox into Outlook ;) | 22:14 |
| aixguru | Does anyone know of a way to get bonding working properly under 11.04 for NICs? The most current docs online show the 10.x and up configs, but it appears to be broken. | 22:15 |
| aixguru | I'm running into issues with using the bond-slaves tag not wanting to ifenslave the devices, and also without bringing the eth devices up first as ifaces, it leaves them down after they are added as slaves to the bond0 device | 22:16 |
| Jordan_U | LukaszTarkowski: I'll be gone for about half an hour. Your problem is most likely an invalid partition table. Parted will tell you what exactly is invalid about it and "fixparts" will likely be able to fix it: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/ | 22:17 |

| macuser_ | Boom_Farmer, This machine has a problem with the visual display. Only the terminal is legible. The GUI is not legible under either Windows or Ubuntu. Therefore, I must find the Windows data under Ubuntu, delete the user date, then take the machine out of here, install a new video card in it, and then install ubuntun | 22:41 |
| urlin2u | pythonsnake, there is a addon to the dock if you open it tha will allow that | 22:41 |

| pythonsnake | urlin2u: middle click | 22:42 |
| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], I am concerned that If I destroy the Windows partition, I won't be able to reboot the machine at all, not even under Linux. | 22:42 |
| urlin2u | pythonsnake, click on the docky icon-docklets-work place switcher | 22:42 |
| al_nz1 | been installed for ages | 22:42 |
| al_nz1 | havent rebooted in a while tho | 22:43 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: why would that be a concern? | 22:43 |
| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], there are 2 hard drives on the target PC. I need to wipe the Windows data off of both of those partitions. | 22:43 |

| macuser_ | KM0201, Sorry, why would what be a concern | 22:43 |
| grant99929 | does anyone know why i cant log in on my 11.10? i just upgraded and now when i log in, it puts be back to the login screen... help me :( | 22:43 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | DeltaEpsilon: create a normal user, add them to the sudoers file | 22:43 |
| pythonsnake | grant99929: #ubuntu+1 | 22:43 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | the same way you create a normal user anywhere | 22:44 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: I would have honestly just wipe-out the whole entire drive. And install with command line. | 22:44 |
| KM0201 | why would you be concerned that if you do a clean install ubuntu, you would not be able to access it? | 22:44 |
| grant99929 | thnx :) | 22:44 |

| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], The target PC is on the Internet, yes | 22:45 |
| urlin2u | pythonsnake, it is also called a work place switcher. | 22:45 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: With WIFI or Wired connection? | 22:45 |
| LukaszTarkowski | hmm any ideas | 22:45 |
| urlin2u | pythonsnake, if you enabled the cube it does not work though. | 22:45 |
| jrtech | LukaszTarkowski: You can also try a different version ubuntu and see if ot would detect uour hdd | 22:45 |
| LukaszTarkowski | i tried the 32 bit as well wouldn't budge jrtech | 22:46 |
| al_nz1 | can I reset networking settings to factory defaults? | 22:46 |
| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], The target PC is on the Internet with a wired connection | 22:46 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: Oh good. Terminal font and text appears and works properly, right? | 22:46 |
| LukaszTarkowski | I have Ubuntu on the external drive it installed fine there | 22:46 |
| glassresistor | i have utouch installed and touchegg, but the magic mouse one does left/right click and scrolls with 1 or 2 fingers in all directions, i've tested the input and i see it regonizes up to 3 maybe 4 fingers but touchegg doesn't seem to do any gestures | 22:46 |
| glassresistor | im using the default config | 22:47 |
| glassresistor | amy ideas? | 22:47 |
| LukaszTarkowski | the hdd won't dtect | 22:47 |
| LukaszTarkowski | I am only having with this hdd internal one | 22:47 |
| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], Yes, the terminal font is legible and works well | 22:47 |
| jrtech | LukaszTarkowski: Try to partition the hdd first and then install ubuntu | 22:48 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: You intended to install Ubuntu LTS, right? Otherwise, otherwise, get the lastest version (Ubuntu Natty 11.04) I believe Minimal install is the beter option: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:48 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: Don't use "wubi", lol. | 22:49 |

| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: But you're selecting the option for Ubuntu Desktop. | 22:52 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: if you're familiar w/ live CD's and how they work.. you could also just have someone boot a Live CD on that machine, and remote desktop the live CD, and run the installer from your machine (thats how i install ubuntu on grandmas machine) | 22:52 |
| KM0201 | it's really not that difficult... not really sure what the issue is. | 22:53 |

| KM0201 | ex0: it probably sounds harder than it is... certainly easier thana mini ISO, or any sort of network install (at least IMO) | 22:54 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | macuser_: Does that sound like a good idea to you? | 22:54 |
| ex0 | its not hard but yea i know what you mean | 22:54 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | KM0201: He/she installing this on a remote computer? O_O | 22:54 |

| KM0201 | i've done it multiple times | 22:54 |

| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], I can't see any screen other than the terminal. I can't even see the boot options. I had to guess at installing ubuntu from inside Windows. | 22:55 |

| KM0201 | macuser_: ok, so obviously its some sort of hardware problem. | 23:02 |
| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], KM0201 yes, it is probably a bad video card. | 23:02 |

| pythonsnake | =/ | 23:02 |

| KM0201 | (assuming its not the onboard video that is bad) | 23:03 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, No onboard video | 23:03 |

| fus10nx | really annoying | 23:03 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 23:04 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: is it a custom PC, or is it a "store bought".. if a store bought, do you know the make/model? | 23:04 |
| fus10nx | or how can I clear out the apt-get cache | 23:04 |
| macuser_ | Ubuntusawr[xD], I can use the CD drive on the Ubuntu machine, that is how I installed Ubuntu on it. But the display is so bad, I had to guess as I was installing Ubuntu from inside Windows. I was not able to set the machine to boot from the CD | 23:05 |

| Bizzeh | hi, is there a WUBI installer for 11.10 beta 2? | 23:09 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: so do you not have an old computer/video card to pop in the machine. | 23:09 |
| KM0201 | Bizzeh: not that i know of, and you'd be completely out of your mind to try it if there was | 23:09 |
| robot-army | I am having trouble getting Transmission to start via Start-Up programs. (Natty) It gives me a message relating to "Transmission is already running".

| ddelrio1986 | How do I allow apache to write to a folder in my home directory? | 23:09 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, I don't have a video card here in the owner's home. I have a number of video cards at the school, probably, but the owner of the PC won't let me take the computer out of his home without securely destroying the data first | 23:10 |
| Bizzeh | KM0201: why, the installation procedure would be roughly identical, its just the files/configs installed to the virtual drive that are different | 23:10 |
| jpmh | I have a touch screen that I want to get working - lshal and lsusb both show it as 0408 4002 - so I added a /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with that device and an alias there - when I boot I still just see hiddev0, hiddev1 and hiddev2 - what am I missinbg here | 23:11 |
| KM0201 | Bizzeh: lol, ok sport... | 23:11 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Bizzeh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_install_Wubi_on_a_machine_with_no_Internet_connection.3F | 23:11 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: so basically you want to format the hard drive, then take the machine to school and fix it. | 23:11 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Bizzeh: In fact, I miss-read, sorry. I do not see any avaible for 11.10. And like KM0201 said, that would be rather weird. | 23:12 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | o_O | 23:12 |
| KM0201 | Ubuntusawr[xD]: beyond weird, i'm thinking more like "glutton for punishment" | 23:12 |
| Bizzeh | KM0201: create file of static size, zero the file, mount that file as a drive, install ubuntu to that virtual drive. install grub, tell grub where that file is and to mount it and boot | 23:13 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, yes | 23:13 |
| urlin2u | Bizzeh, probably not wubi will download the latest release automatically. | 23:13 |
| Bizzeh | simplified process, but between releases, there shouldnt be any difference between how its installed | 23:13 |
| Bizzeh | if there is, wubi is built wrong | 23:13 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: hmm, if you can boot a live CD on the machine, and see well enough to open a terminal and install ssh... you could SSH into the machine, and use Fdisk to format the drives. | 23:13 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, If I can delete the user's data off of both drives, I can take the machine to a school that uses Linux, and it will be used by kids | 23:13 |
| KM0201 | Bizzeh: lol, ok.. use that "simplified process"..lol | 23:14 |
| urlin2u | Bizzeh, wubi is meant for just trying out Ubuntu, it has its limitations | 23:14 |
| KM0201 | Bizzeh: just make sure you have a thorough backup before doing so. | 23:14 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: ok, now i understand the problem. | 23:14 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, I can't boot into a live CD, because I can't see the setup screen. | 23:14 |
| ramon | how do i get bash to play a sound every time i enter a command? | 23:15 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 23:15 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: you say you're on a laptop now? | 23:15 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, yes, I am on a notebook Mac that is ssh'd into the target machine | 23:15 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: ok.. just out of curiosity.. hav eyou verified that it's the video card that is bad, and not th edisplay?... in otherwords, shut down your mac and the PC, use the display cable that goes from the PC/Display, and connect it to your Mac (so the display cable will go from the PC, to your mac)... if the display is bad, you should see the display on your mac w/ no problem. | 23:16 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, I am also on the target machine, and I can see the terminal, but that is all. I can kind of sort of see the Ubuntu display, but only general stuff, like I can click on Firefox, and I can go to google, but I can't read what I google | 23:17 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, This Mac notebook has no VGA jack to connect to the display. | 23:18 |
| KM0201 | what?... | 23:18 |
| KM0201 | you don't connect your mac to the display | 23:18 |
| KM0201 | you connec tthe PC to your mac... turn the PC on, and it will use your mac as a display (even my cheap acer laptop that is 8yrs old has this capability) | 23:18 |
| jcmarini | gday yall | 23:19 |

| ddelrio1986 | I have a folder in my home directory that I want the user www-data to be able to write to. Should I change the group of the folder to www-data or should I just add the www-data user to the group for my account (daniel)? | 23:26 |
| ex0 | add user to group | 23:26 |
| ddelrio1986 | ex0, Thanks! | 23:26 |
| ex0 | np | 23:26 |
| Flannel | ddelrio1986: No, don't do that. | 23:27 |
| ddelrio1986 | Flannel, why? | 23:27 |
| Flannel | ddelrio1986: because it's incorrect :) | 23:27 |
| jcmarini | my dvd burner shows up on disk utility as having unknown media of 1.1 gig but it is physically empty help please | 23:27 |
| mnemonic76 | I am using the command find /source_directory/ -name "*.wav" -exec cp -ri {} /media/raid0/WAV/ \; to copy recursively all the wav files found, it works but does not recreate the directory structure. how can i do this? | 23:27 |
| ddelrio1986 | Flannel, so I shouldn't add the www-data user to the daniel group? | 23:28 |
| Flannel | ddelrio1986, ex0: you either want useradd -G group -a user, or (the easier and less error prone): adduser user group | 23:28 |
| ex0 | yes he would get the point, i forgot the -a | 23:28 |
| Flannel | ex0: and -g vs -G | 23:28 |
| ddelrio1986 | So adduser instead of useradd? | 23:29 |
| Flannel | which is why I suggest you use adduser instead of useradd, it's obviously easier to remember and not get wrong :) | 23:29 |
| Flannel | ddelrio1986: yeah, adduser username groupname | 23:29 |
| ex0 | yes | 23:29 |
| urlin2u | jcmarini, I would not worry about that so does mine | 23:29 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, I am going to be leaving soon, I think, unless you have anything else to suggest. You have been very helpful, thanks! | 23:29 |
| ddelrio1986 | Thanks guys! | 23:29 |

| pythonsnake | mingdao_: you're vn ? | 23:31 |
| bug2000 | Any clues why would one get slow usb memstick transfers? | 23:31 |

| Ubuntusawr[xD] | mingdao_: Cool name. | 23:32 |
| macuser_ | KM0201, thx for the suggetions. I can't see the setup screen, so I can't run a live CD, because I can't set the machine to boot from the CD | 23:32 |
| pythonsnake | Ubuntusawr[xD]: stop saying "cool name" to everyone xD | 23:32 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: yeah, i understand the dilemma | 23:33 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | pythonsnake: Lol, it's only been my second time today. | 23:33 |

| mingdao_ | urlin2u: How stable is Oneiric? | 23:37 |
| KM0201 | macuser_: i just can't come up w/ anyway to do this, when you can't see anything on the screen | 23:37 |
| urlin2u | mingdao_, I would not not use it as a regular system is the general idea with a development. | 23:38 |
| mingdao_ | urlin2u: I've been using *nix since '03 ... presently running Gentoo and Slackware on laptops, desktops, workstations, and servers. | 23:38 |
| urlin2u | mingdao_, you might have no problems I haven't. | 23:38 |
| pythonsnake | !ubuntu+1 | mingdao_ | 23:39 |
| ubottu | mingdao_: Oneiric Ocelot is the codename for Ubuntu 11.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 23:39 |
| urlin2u | any you can't fix anyway. mingdao_ ;D | 23:39 |
| Bizzeh | when is the next LTS due? | 23:39 |
| mingdao_ | urlin2u: A buddy who used to be a Slacker but now runs Ubuntu told me months ago "you can get Gnome 3 for 11.04." | 23:39 |
| LukaszTarkowski | The hdd I am having trouble is an Seagate hybrid part ssd scsi hdd | 23:39 |
| LukaszTarkowski | Ubuntu won't detect it | 23:39 |
| mingdao_ | urlin2u: It was my first install and I didn't want to mess with it. | 23:39 |
| urlin2u | Bizzeh, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricReleaseSchedule | 23:40 |
| pythonsnake | !details | LukaszTarkowski | 23:40 |
| ubottu | LukaszTarkowski: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:40 |
| mingdao_ | urlin2u: Now we have Ubuntu (from that install in June) on my wife's PC, and then last night I installed it on this new ThinkPad T420. | 23:40 |
| LukaszTarkowski | pythonsnake, I installed Ubuntu on the other external disk worked fine but it won't work on my Seagate Momentus internal hdd | 23:40 |
| mingdao_ | ubottu: thanks ... I'll /j #ubuntu+1 also | 23:40 |
| ubottu | mingdao_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:40 |
| Bizzeh | urlin2u: that just tells me when the next release is, not the next LTS | 23:40 |
| ubun | hello. im not like the ubuntu 11.04 gui. where do i chang the preferences for that. | 23:41 |
| urlin2u | Bizzeh, that is the next LTS | 23:41 |
| pythonsnake | urlin2u: login screen | 23:41 |
| mingdao_ | should have noticed the bot ... probably more intelligent than me | 23:41 |
| pythonsnake | err | 23:41 |
| ddelrio1986 | I've added www-data to the daniel group but when I run mkdir in a PHP script I still get a permission denied problem. I've already ensured that the group was write permissions on the folder that I'm trying to mkdir in. | 23:41 |
| pythonsnake | ubun: login screen | 23:41 |
| urlin2u | pythonsnake, ? | 23:41 |

| pythonsnake | ... | 23:42 |
| ubun | pythonsnake: ...login screen. so then i have to logout... ...oh | 23:42 |
| rww | Bizzeh: Ubuntu version numbers are year.month. 12.04 => 2012-04 => April, 2012 | 23:42 |
| rww | urlin2u: oneiric is not going to be LTS. | 23:42 |
| urlin2u | Bizzeh, yourv write so the releases go in 6 month intervals so 6 months past oneiric. | 23:42 |
| urlin2u | you're* | 23:42 |
| ramsrambo | pythonsnake : My frontech webcam model : e-cam JIL 2214 is not working on 10.10 any help? | 23:43 |
| Bizzeh | rww: im well aware of the dated releases, i dont know why anything needed to be said since what i said had nothing to do with that | 23:43 |
| Cam | ramsrambo: if nobody answers.stop re-asking the question. | 23:43 |
| urlin2u | Bizzeh, heavan forbid you get help or at least tries to on the IRC. :D | 23:44 |
| Bizzeh | urlin2u: rww wasnt helping, just diluting the help with nonsensical information | 23:44 |
| LukaszTarkowski_ | I am gonna try something brb | 23:45 |
| urlin2u | Bizzeh, hey that's their job, chill out. | 23:45 |
| pythonsnake | Cam? | 23:46 |
| hikenboot | anyone know how to rsync in such a way that it copies all files to a directory and subdirectories overwriting all files in destination? | 23:46 |
| rww | Bizzeh: You asked when the next LTS is. You said that the website says the next LTS is 12.04. I am not sure why you needed the question answering if you know 12.04 means Aptil 2012. | 23:46 |
| rww | April ** | 23:46 |
| rww | Bizzeh: Either way, please be a bit more civil :) | 23:46 |
| mingdao_ | hikenboot: you want to overwrite files with the same name? | 23:48 |
| ddelrio1986 | Is this how you remove a user from a group?: deluser <user> <group> | 23:49 |
| hikenboot | mingdao_: yes | 23:49 |
| mingdao_ | hikenboot: "rsync -av /source/directory/ /destination/directory/" should do that | 23:49 |
| qin | ddelrio1986: Yes | 23:49 |
| hikenboot | thanks | 23:49 |
| urlin2u | mingdao_, there is a ppa for gnome 3 if your game to do it in natty. | 23:49 |
| hikenboot | what about subdirectories too? -R ? | 23:50 |
| hikenboot | sorry -r | 23:50 |
| mingdao_ | hikenboot: that should take care of it | 23:50 |
| hikenboot | thanks | 23:50 |
| mingdao_ | hikenboot: if you have the same ../directory-name/ on both source and desitnation | 23:50 |

| linty | Can I manage RackSpace Cloud instances/servers with Landscape? | 23:51 |
| robot-army | I am having trouble getting Transmission to start via Start-Up programs. (Natty) It gives me a message relating to "Transmission is already running". I can see that transmission-gtk is in fact an open process, but hung. If I force close it and open Transmission from the program menu, it works. Any ideas? | 23:51 |
| mingdao_ | hikenboot: there is r (recurse into directories) but I don't think you need it | 23:51 |
| ubun | ubuntu 11 uses unix??? | 23:52 |
| mingdao_ | ubun: no | 23:52 |
| ubun | oh: | 23:52 |
| ubun | mingdao: oh | 23:52 |
| qin | ubun: Lunix (Ubuntu) is GNU | 23:52 |
| mingdao_ | ubun: it's a bit complicated, but you should Google UNIX and it's a bit of a read | 23:52 |
| Bizzeh | ubun: linux based os's are all based on the unix style (POSIX) | 23:52 |
| Bizzeh | but they arnt unix its self | 23:53 |
| === MUILTFN is now known as ENSLRA | ||
| ubun | what is the default gui? gnome? | 23:53 |
| Bizzeh | ubuntu's default is gnone, linux its self doesnt have a gui at all, as linux is the kernel and driver model, not the operating system | 23:54 |
| LukaszTarkowski_ | dunno why the hdd isn't detecting Ubuntu | 23:54 |
| mingdao_ | sorry quit message | 23:55 |
| ubun | Bizzeh: looks like i just opened pandoras box | 23:55 |
| linuxman410 | how long is 10.04 going to be supported for | 23:55 |
| Bizzeh | ubun: no, not really | 23:55 |
| mingdao_ | ubun: No, you should read. It's interesting to see how this "Linux" came about. | 23:55 |
| ubun | linuxman410: i think 2012 | 23:55 |
| ddelrio1986 | I finally fixed my problem but I'm wondering why it worked. Maybe someone here can enlighten me. After adding www-data to the daniel group and allowing write permissions to the group on a file in my home directory I then had to RESTART apache for it to be able to write. Anyone know why the restart was needed? | 23:55 |
| mingdao_ | ubun: and Google for Eric S. Raymond and read some of his stuff | 23:55 |
| Bizzeh | Linux came about because some college student was bored and had nothing else better to do... same reason most software is born | 23:56 |
| xangua | !ot | 23:56 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:56 |
| hikenboot | thanks mingdao_ | 23:56 |
| ubun | mingdao: wow cerebral palsy... i think i may actually finish reading this | 23:57 |
