| urlin2u | robot-army, I think there is no icon, you might look for one or try deluge it has a icon . | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| robot-army | qin: ah, daemon makes sense. I'll give that a shot. Do you happen to know offhand if the web interface will be enabled with just the daemon running? | 00:00 |
| qin | robot-army: No clue, using rtorrent :P | 00:01 |
| robot-army | qin: gotcha. I'll start by changing the command to start the daemon and fiddle with it from there, thanks for the reply =) | 00:01 |
| qin | robot-army: np | 00:01 |
| mnemonic76 | Anyone help me with a cp script? | 00:03 |
| mnemonic76 | I am stuck, and can't figure out what the heck I'm missing... the script finds and copies the files I want, but it does not re create the directory structure. | 00:04 |
| pythonsnake | !pibf | 00:05 |
| qin | mnemonic76: Try this: mkdir ~/test && find . -type d -exec cp -r {} ~/test \; (if find will include test in results there will be a trouble) | 00:08 |
| qin | mnemonic76: I think it is easier to use rsync anyway. | 00:09 |
| qin | mnemonic76: And I can bet for 10 bucks that -r was missing ;) | 00:10 |
| ubun | so then the developers for ubuntu/linux distros. work for free? | 00:13 |
| bazhang | ubun, did you have an ubuntu support question? | 00:13 |
| ubun | bazhang: sorry i did but someone sent me on a goose chase | 00:13 |
| bazhang | ubun, please keep support here , and chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks | 00:14 |
| ubun | actually bazhang: i was trying to find out if you can change the layout of the ubuntu11 layout. (the help i found only shows you how to switch to classic gnome. i just want to change the position of things | 00:16 |
| bazhang | ubun, the unity dash? that is on the left bar and immovable as far as I know | 00:17 |
| ubun | bazhang: yeah. thats what i wanted to know... | 00:17 |
| qin | ubun: There is no Ubuntu 11, either 11.04 or 11.10, and Unity do not provide much options, atm. | 00:17 |
| ubun | qin: ubuntu 11.04 | 00:17 |
| qin | Nice. | 00:18 |
| Matt_799 | my ubuntu user icon is a flower, how can I change it, I see no option in user and groups | 00:18 |
| pythonsnake | Hello bazhang ! | 00:18 |
| ubun | ok. so the question i asked earlier about UNIX- was a typo i meant to ask about unity. ok so the gui for ubuntu11.04 is unity?? | 00:19 |
| xangua | Matt_799: try in the user indicator | 00:19 |
| pythonsnake | ubun: y | 00:19 |
| pythonsnake | ubun: positive | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | ubun: By default, when 3D accelleration is available, yes. | 00:19 |
| ubun | pythonsnake: ok. | 00:19 |
| ubun | jordan: i see | 00:19 |
| ubun | Jorda_U | 00:20 |
| mingdao_ | How much trouble is it to switch to Fluxbox in Ubuntu? Or is it even possible? | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | !tab | ubun | 00:20 |
| ubottu | ubun: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 00:20 |
| bazhang | mingdao_, install it, then choose from login window | 00:20 |
| === Logan_ is now known as Guest28794 | ||
| mingdao_ | bazhang: Thanks. I'm not the type that needs the features of a desktop environment. | 00:20 |
| ubun | Jordan_U: that is the best advice ive gotten(regarding the chat) thanks | 00:20 |
| Matt_799 | xangua, i searched system setting for user indicator with no resutls, do i have to download it? | 00:21 |
| Kirior | HI, how can i check and repair my filesystem using fsck from commandline within livecd? every time i try i got this ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fsck fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | ubun: By the way, using a nickname of "ubun" makes it rather difficult to follow conversations with you using "/lastlog ubun" as that would give all lines from any message mentioning "ubuntu". | 00:21 |
| xangua | Matt_799: User Indicator, one of the indicators in the tho right corner | 00:21 |
| xangua | top* | 00:21 |

| Matt_799 | xangua, got it, thx | 00:22 |
| Kirior | Jordan_U: HI, how can i check and repair my filesystem using fsck from commandline within livecd? every time i try i got this ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fsck fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 | 00:22 |

| mnemonic76 | qin: thanks... i am testing now.. | 00:24 |
| Chotaz | Has anyone ever used mp3check? | 00:24 |
| bazhang | Chotaz, have some questions about it? | 00:25 |
| Arath | I'm trying to install wireless usb driver. But the instructions are very hard to understand, it tells me to first "set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and choose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX". Define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC. | 00:25 |
| qin | mnemonic76: It is one lever, it fails if deeper | 00:25 |
| tobe | Jordan_U: there i changed my name... | 00:26 |
| ahmad_daoud | Kirior: specify file system to be checked ;) | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | Kirior: To see the manual for a given command use "man some_command", like "man fsck". In this case you need to run "sudo fsck /dev/sdXY" replacing "X" with a letter and "Y" with a partition number. "sudo blkid" will list all partitions, you want the one with a filesystem type of "ext4". | 00:26 |
| Kirior | ahmad_daoud: i would like to check my linux partition (ext2) when i tried using fsck while running ubuntu it spit warning that it will cause damage so i went to live cd and tried here but this http://paste.ubuntu.com/696414/ is all i get | 00:27 |
| ahmad_daoud | Jordan_U: Perfect reply :thumbs up: | 00:28 |
| Kirior | Jordan_U: cheers man, as always helpfull :) | 00:28 |
| Chotaz | bazhang: in deed. | 00:28 |
| ahmad_daoud | so , your original / may be mounted ... check it | 00:28 |
| Chotaz | bazhang: I recently had to use PhotoREc to try and recover some music files from a recently formatted HDD, i ended up getting 20k+ files restored and I want to spot and delete all the corrupted ones, i heard mp3check can do it, i just dunno how. | 00:29 |
| ahmad_daoud | then fsck (as Jordan said) , specify /dev/XXX | 00:30 |
| Kirior | Jordan_U: what is a vfat partition? and just to confirm this means that there are no problems what so ever? http://paste.ubuntu.com/696419/ | 00:31 |

| bazhang | http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/mp3check Chotaz here you are | 00:32 |
| Chotaz | bazhang: ty | 00:33 |
| Kirior | ahmad_daoud: and if i would like to check an ntfs drive? and fix or attempt to fix errors? is windows chkdsk better for that? | 00:35 |
| mnemonic76 | qin: How would I use rsync to do this? I am not really wanting to copy... I want to move all the .wav files out of the FLAC dir and recreate all the subdirs in the WAV dir... make sense? | 00:36 |
| autojack | I just started a text-mode install of Ubuntu 11, but I realized that I want to change some of the packages I selected. can I cancel the install and back up, or do I have to wait 1+ hrs for this to finish? | 00:36 |
| urlin2u | Kirior, you want to use windows or a windows disc to run chkdsk on a ntfs yes. | 00:36 |
| ahmad_daoud | Kirior: yes , use chkdsk for windows ntfs .. it's perfect ... chkdsk /f E: | 00:36 |
| _Python | Hi, Could any one please let me know a good video editor for ubuntu?? | 00:37 |
| Kirior | ahmad_daoud: /f not /r? | 00:37 |
| tobe | so is there a program to make a "restore point" before i do anything. this is a fresh install and i would rather not screw it up "again" | 00:37 |
| ahmad_daoud | Kirior: /f : fix , i think | 00:37 |
| qin | mnemonic76: That is more correct: find . -type d ! -name . -exec mkdir ~/test/{} \; or this very nice way: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/copy-directory-structure-only-208796/#post1066075 | 00:38 |
| urlin2u | Kirior, I would run r it implies f | 00:38 |
| ahmad_daoud | i didn't use windows for 3 years | 00:38 |

| qxt | ahhh this Unity really is weird on my 24" 1920x1200 screen. fvwm or Awesome would be a hell of a lot better. | 00:38 |
| Kirior | urlin2u: thanks, :) | 00:38 |
| tobe | Stanley00: thank you | 00:39 |
| Chotaz | bazhang: i don't see a parameter that allows me to automatically remove the faulty files? | 00:39 |
| coz_ | qxt, have you tried gnome3 instead? | 00:39 |
| Arath | I'm trying to install wireless usb driver. But the instructions are very hard to understand, it tells me to first "set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and choose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX". Define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC. | 00:39 |
| coz_ | qxt, rather classic interface | 00:39 |
| autojack | anyone? canceling an install? | 00:39 |
| urlin2u | autojack, if you cancel you will have to start over. | 00:40 |
| ahmad_daoud | Kirior: and this is ubuntu ;) | 00:40 |
| qxt | coz_ yeah and its almost as gay. I have Eclipse on one side of my screen. emacs on the other and about 5 shells open | 00:40 |
| autojack | urlin2u: that's OK, it hasn't gotten very far. | 00:40 |
| tobe | is there a difference as far as memory usage between unity and gnome? | 00:40 |
| autojack | urlin2u: I just wanted to get back to the package selection step I guess | 00:40 |
| urlin2u | autojack, if this us a install, not a upgrade. | 00:40 |
| urlin2u | is* | 00:40 |
| autojack | yeah it is | 00:40 |
| autojack | a new install | 00:40 |
| qxt | coz_, gnome3 just does not feel like gnome | 00:40 |
| urlin2u | autojack, you can shut it down a,d start over no biggie | 00:41 |
| diode | xfce | 00:41 |
| coz_ | qxt, ah I see ,, gnome3 isnt that bad but I understand the difficulty in the changes | 00:41 |
| autojack | ah | 00:41 |
| qxt | xfce is ok | 00:41 |
| autojack | I was hoping for a cancel option | 00:41 |
| Kirior | ahmad_daoud: oh yes i know sorry but today i dug up my old broken down 1TB drive and managed to restore its capacity (before both wind and Ubuntu sow only about 15GB) and now just want to check if all the disk integrity is fine and here are loads of ppl that are dual-booted :P | 00:41 |
| qxt | coz_, been using GNU/Linux since 92 | 00:41 |
| Kirior | and know more than me :) | 00:41 |
| qin | mnemonic76: Apparently rsync have -d option. mna rsync | 00:41 |
| urlin2u | autojack, you can do a soft reboot or shutdown crtl-alt-prtsc REISUB is rebot REISUO is shutdown type slowly. | 00:42 |
| urlin2u | reboot* | 00:42 |
| mnemonic76 | qin: I really want the files AND the directory structure... i | 00:42 |
| autojack | I just went with ctrl-alt-delete :) | 00:43 |
| autojack | thanks! | 00:43 |
| qxt | coz_, all I want to do is use pydev in Eclipse and emacs for C . All the blinky gay "facebook" stuff is lame | 00:43 |
| tomvolek | hi: I have few servers behind a home wireless router, How can I set these as static IP behind my dhcp router ? | 00:43 |
| coz_ | qxt, so you want to stop compiz,,, maybe unit2d would be better for you/ | 00:43 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: it is configure your router . did you want a static ip in the router or with your WAN.if you want your computer to be visible on the internet, you have to set up a DMZ host | 00:44 |
| qin | mnemonic76: What would be wrong with "cp -r", but rsync gives you more option (and ssh support). | 00:44 |
| qxt | tomvolek, easy you can use http://dyn.com | 00:44 |
| Kirior | thx guys again time to go for me bb, Jordan_U ahmad_daoud urlin2u | 00:44 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: and then use a dynamic dns service | 00:45 |
| urlin2u | qxt, please don't use gay a a perjorative. | 00:45 |
| urlin2u | as* | 00:45 |
| Ubulindy | ok, I nstalled Ubuntu 10.10 off NetBoot and all I am getting is terminal like with no desktop environment even tho gnome is installed | 00:45 |
| ahmad_daoud | Kirior: bad sectors ? or broken me | 00:45 |
| mingdao_ | urlin2u: don't think you need Ctrl ... just Alt+PrtSc+{R,S,E,I,S,O,B} ... or whatever options | 00:45 |
| tomvolek | g0rs, no I need to setup mysql replciation inside my home network .. I am using OCMcast dhcp right now on my wireless router, etc. | 00:45 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: why do you need a static ip address? | 00:46 |
| urlin2u | mingdao_, thats' the rumor ethier works. | 00:46 |
| qxt | coz_, I don't use compiz at all. A long time ago I helped dev on Beryl. | 00:46 |
| tomvolek | settgin up mysql replication between two hosts behind my wirless router | 00:46 |
| === sysadmin is now known as Guest41512 | ||
| Guest41512 | How do I find my computer address? | 00:46 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: are these hosts in your lan connected to your router ? | 00:47 |
| ex0 | ifconfig | 00:47 |
| coz_ | qxt, oh!! by what you were saying about the "Facebook" effects i assumed compiz was running which it should be by default with Unity | 00:47 |
| tomvolek | yes sir | 00:47 |
| qxt | coz_, for me it is all work station programming. We are 10 developers and just need to get work done. | 00:47 |
| coz_ | qxt, i completely understand :) | 00:47 |
| tomvolek | One of the serves which will be the salve for mysql will be visible outside later on, via a pokeing a hole in the router firewall | 00:48 |
| coz_ | qxt, and I assume that if you are running Unity you already know compiz is running ...yes? | 00:48 |
| tomvolek | g0rs, does that make sense ? | 00:48 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: youd have to use a dmz host and open a computer to be visible outside. use a dynamic dns service | 00:48 |
| tomvolek | ok | 00:49 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: i did that sometime ago when i wanted to connect to my computer from an external host using vnc | 00:49 |
| urlin2u | mingdao_, I think the soft reboot is sometimes different per keyboards, the wikipedis says the key combo you suggest, but reisub. | 00:49 |
| mingdao_ | Guest41512: "wget -q -O - http://whatismyip.org" | 00:49 |
| tomvolek | exactly that is what I am doing... | 00:49 |
| mingdao_ | Guest41512: in a terminal | 00:49 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: there are lot of tutorials on the web to do th same. setting up DMZ host and use a dynamic dns service | 00:50 |
| tomvolek | g0rs, so first thing i need to setup my two hosts(mysql master, slave) as static IP .. then move to the other iisues | 00:50 |
| mingdao_ | urlin2u: I'm an old timer remembering RSEIUB ... raising skinny elephants is utterly boring ... but the kernel source (where is it in Ubuntu) has a file sysrq.txt which explains it well | 00:51 |
| tomvolek | i have been gooling, and a lot of pointes, but figured ask here form gurues in a live irc | 00:51 |
| qxt | coz_, no since I use noscript, betterprivacy, ABP, Ghostery , HTTPS-Everywhere, Calomel SSL Val, changed headers, etc. | 00:51 |
| urlin2u | mingdao_, cool thanks. :D | 00:51 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: i dont know how mysql works. but if you want to conneect to a computer which doesnt have static ip and is behind a router, you configure the internal ip of that computer inside the router as a DMZ host and use dynamic dns service | 00:51 |
| mingdao_ | urlin2u: reisub ... different for different situations rather than kbds | 00:51 |
| mingdao_ | urlin2u: where *is* the kernel source? I feel naked! | 00:52 |
| edbian | how can I set my audio to mono using alsamixer | 00:52 |
| tomvolek | ok, will read on that subject g0rs.. thanks | 00:52 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: you might want to google that , it is simple and not too complex | 00:52 |
| qxt | and its not called Firefox it is Iceweasle. Not really FOSS to call it FF. | 00:52 |
| tomvolek | "setting up DMZ host ubuntu " g0rs ? | 00:52 |
| bazhang | qxt, you are on debian? | 00:52 |
| qxt | Arch Linux and Debian Wheezy are kick ass nice | 00:52 |
| qxt | bazhang, yeah | 00:52 |
| qxt | bazhang, how did you guess. | 00:53 |
| qxt | IW part =) | 00:53 |
| === lol is now known as {} | ||
| bazhang | qxt, please stay on topic, it's Firefox for Ubuntu | 00:53 |

| dfcnvt | Hi | 00:53 |
| dfcnvt | :) | 00:53 |
| urlin2u | mingdao_, found this one seems apropos Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken | 00:54 |
| tomvolek | thanks | 00:54 |
| tomvolek | thanks g0rs ... | 00:54 |
| qxt | bazhang, gay gay gay. A lot of ppl helped dev Mozilla and then it gets branded. Not nice for the FOSS ppl out there. | 00:54 |
| mingdao_ | urlin2u: that's right ... good ... thanks, I'd forgotten that acronym | 00:54 |
| bazhang | qxt, thats neither appropriate not called for, please desist at once | 00:55 |
| qxt | bazhang kick me and cry lol | 00:55 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: lets say if your computer has an ip address like 192.168.0.100 then you setup a dmz on that ip address. | 00:55 |
| tomvolek | ok | 00:56 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: that is within your lan | 00:56 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: you want to map your computer in internal lan to WAN which might have an ip like 81.232.123.343 | 00:56 |
| g0rs | tomvolek: you want to map your computer in internal lan to WAN which might have an ip like 81.232.123.35 | 00:57 |

| complexity | anyone know a good way to have ubuntu save desktops | 01:02 |
| complexity | like firefox always open on desktop 2 | 01:02 |
| mingdao_ | xaviergmail: did you get an answer? | 01:02 |
| mingdao_ | xaviergmail: did you burn a CD from an ISO image you downloaded? | 01:03 |
| Alpine | Typical win7 bullshit | 01:03 |
| xaviergmail | yes I did | 01:03 |
| Alpine | No sound driver functionality. | 01:03 |
| mingdao_ | spleen: you need to ask a question, but I think this channel is for Ubuntu help ... see if there is a #sed channel | 01:03 |
| xaviergmail | I mean I burned from an ISO , didn't get answered though | 01:04 |
| Alpine | When will Bill Gates stop being such a turd. | 01:04 |
| qxt_ | sorry spleen did not hear ya | 01:04 |
| mingdao_ | xaviergmail: there is an md5sum for that ISO image ... you need to compare it to your ISO | 01:04 |
| qxt_ | that homo bazgay face baned me | 01:04 |
| Bizzeh | Alpine: how is that typical behaviour? and how is it anything to do with a guy who hasnt worked at microsoft for 5 years now? | 01:04 |
| qin | lol | 01:04 |
| Alpine | LOL | 01:04 |
| Bizzeh | and hasnt written a line of code for over 20 years | 01:04 |
| mingdao_ | xaviergmail: md5sum image.iso (replace image with the name of the ISO image) will give you the md5sum of the ISO image | 01:04 |
| Alpine | You mean bill steal gui gates? | 01:04 |
| Alpine | Mr. I don't invent things I pay 50,000 for a copy of the disk operation system.. then steal the gui interface from of all people xerox? | 01:05 |
| mingdao_ | xaviergmail: then if your ISO image was good, put your CD in the CD-ROM drive and in a terminal cd to the directory with the ISO image | 01:05 |
| iLogic | Alpine: have a little more respect, he is my uncle | 01:05 |
| mingdao_ | xaviergmail: in that directory with the CD in the drive issue "cmp /dev/sr0 image.iso" | 01:05 |
| mingdao_ | xaviergmail: if your CD-ROM drive is ISO | 01:05 |
| Bizzeh | Alpine: bill gates never claimed to be a good programmer, he claims to be a good business man, which he is, as a business man, he is impecable | 01:06 |
| mingdao_ | xaviergmail: start by getting the md5sum of the ISO from wherever you downloaded it | 01:06 |
| Alpine | Oh I can't take that away from him. | 01:06 |
| xaviergmail | I checked the md5 on my laptop, it's ok | 01:06 |
| mingdao_ | this isn't #billgates fellas | 01:06 |
| Alpine | Anyone that can get away with that murder has gotta be a good buisness man. | 01:06 |
| xaviergmail | if I have 3 gb RAM how much swap should I give it? | 01:06 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | Alpine Bizzeh iLogic | 01:07 |

| urlin2u | ahmad_daoud, not any more. | 01:08 |
| shawn_ | Im pretty new to xubuntu | 01:08 |
| Alpine | You can just create the swap automatically. | 01:08 |
| shawn_ | u talkin to me? | 01:08 |
| ahmad_daoud | urlin2u: sorry ? O_o | 01:08 |
| Alpine | Linux kernel should auto create the proper swap size. | 01:08 |
| qin | Alpine: hm? | 01:09 |
| Alpine | There is not a need to manual that on a dual boot system. | 01:09 |
| Alpine | If this is what your attempting. | 01:09 |
| Jordan_U | iLogic: That wasn't your first offtopic comment. Please don't make any more. | 01:09 |
| shawn_ | alpine who are u talkin to | 01:09 |
| urlin2u | Alpine, in yout=r opinion | 01:09 |
| mingdao_ | xaviergmail: sorry, had to help my daughter | 01:09 |

| GameBoy | Jordan_U.. so there is no way in finding out the passwords? | 01:19 |
| Stanley00 | shawn_: hard disk only has most 4 primary partition, if you want more, you have to make 3 pri part, and one extended part, and then create logical part in that ext part | 01:19 |

| Awesomeo2000 | RodneyJarvis: gtkpod | 01:23 |
| GameBoy | Jordan.. one doubt.. why it is hashed and stored? Coz hashed stuffs has no key to retrieve.. is it for some kinda integrity check.. if so ... any idea? | 01:23 |

| RodneyJarvis | GameBoy: Oooh Cheaper.... | 01:28 |

| Boom_Farmer | GameBoy: The nook has no camera, and already runs Android. You can install different versions of Android, certainly, and Ubuntu, somewhat. | 01:32 |
| mingdao_ | austin_: if you can't understand the help ask again ... if it's OT and channel is busy PM me or ask in #irssi or #freenode | 01:32 |

| Boom_Farmer | ahmad_daoud: Find the original source of the iso, reacquire via rip or redownload. | 01:40 |
| ahmad_daoud | actually they were home-made , photo dvds | 01:40 |
| ahmad_daoud | Boom_Farmer, just want to recover whatever possible , if available :( | 01:41 |
| Boom_Farmer | Yo the corrupted isos are the originals? | 01:41 |
| ahmad_daoud | Boom_Farmer, sorry ?? | 01:42 |
| Boom_Farmer | Are the corrupted isos the only version of those files that you have? | 01:42 |
| === mdpatrick_ is now known as Neurotiquette | ||
| Boom_Farmer | For example, do the files on those isos exist elsewhere? | 01:43 |
| === root is now known as Guest34012 | ||
| urlin2u | ahmad_daoud, you can mount them and extract them. | 01:43 |
| ahmad_daoud | Boom_Farmer, yes , only the isos .. the dvds : one is very scratched , the other is lost | 01:44 |
| ahmad_daoud | urlin2u, by file utility , both are (data) ... not defined | 01:44 |
| urlin2u | ahmad_daoud, ah not sure then. | 01:44 |
| Jordan_U | ahmad_daoud: ddrescue may be able to recover more data from the scratched DVD. | 01:44 |
| Boom_Farmer | ahmad_daoud: have you tried physical recovery methods for the scratched DVD? a DVD polish? | 01:45 |
| ahmad_daoud | Jordan_U, well , i have collected much data with that dvd , the problem is the (lost) one ! | 01:46 |
| deridens | could anyone recommend an IDE to use for programming in C++? | 01:46 |

| shawn_ | the sound doesnt come from my speakers comes from the sub | 01:46 |
| nilzie | would it be a bad idea to have 0 primary partitions and just logical partitions ? | 01:46 |
| Awesomeo2000 | :-d | 01:46 |
| Awesomeo2000 | :-D | 01:46 |
| tobe | how do you enable the additional drivers found. I have a nvidia video card. i says the drivers are not in use. do i need to do anything or is it fine like this? | 01:47 |
| Jordan_U | nilzie: No, though if you're never going to have Windows installed on the drive you might want to consider GPT. | 01:47 |
| isabel | hola | 01:47 |
| escott | nilzie, some OSes and bioses dont like to boot from logical partitions (and you still have a primary it just only contains logicals) | 01:47 |
| ahmad_daoud | to specify : by file utility it is (data) , when mounting with : -o loop -t auto (unable to determine FS) in dmesg | tail , any thing else ? | 01:47 |
| Awesomeo2000 | isabel: welcome. | 01:48 |
| nilzie | Jordan_U: GPT? | 01:48 |
| Stanley00 | tobe: you have to active it | 01:48 |
| escott | nilzie, the newer paritition format for disks >2TB allows for unlimited partitions | 01:48 |
| mingdao_ | tobe: it is probably using nouveau, the open source driver | 01:48 |
| shawn_ | Has anyone had an any probs with Realtek ALC888 sound driver?... the sound doesnt come from speakers comes from sub | 01:48 |
| mingdao_ | tobe: lsmod will tell you | 01:49 |
| === marcelo is now known as Guest19787 | ||
| tobe | mingdao_: let me check | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | nilzie: GUID Partition Table. It is a newer partition table format that is more flexible than the old msdos partition table format which can handle drives larger than 2 TiB and an unlimited number of partitions (without the complexity of primary vs logical partitions). | 01:49 |
| nilzie | escott: i have a 80 gig harddrive, and i want to make a /home thats about 15-16 gigs (not sure) then have one for / and another for swap. not sure how big the swap should be and what should be primary and what should be logical. it's a laptop with 2gb ram | 01:49 |
| mingdao_ | tobe: if nouveau works for you there is no need to install nVidia proprietary driver, but it's your choice | 01:50 |
| nilzie | Jordan_U: i see. but im not sure if the installer has that | 01:50 |
| === _Jeepbeats is now known as Jeepbeats | ||
| escott | nilzie, ubuntu shouldn't care about primary vs logical. windows does | 01:50 |
| fdsa | i have a ? | 01:50 |

| fdsa | so when i try to connect to a network | 01:51 |
| fdsa | with irssi | 01:51 |
| aeon-ltd | fdsa: one line please | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | nilzie: Ubuntu's installer uses GPT on any drive larger than 2 TiB. I don't know if you can specify it manually for drives smaller than that or not. | 01:51 |
| fdsa | alright | 01:51 |
| escott | !enter | fdsa | 01:51 |
| ubottu | fdsa: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:51 |

| whiteh | anyone know if it's possible to save gedit's currently open files via the terminal? my gui (in debian), sadly, froze up | 01:51 |
| nilzie | how big should my swap be if i have a 2gb laptop? some told me 2x the ram, but others told me that rule is useless for big amounts of ram. but others told me i need a large swap for sleep and hibernate... | 01:52 |
| escott | whiteh, look for a backup file should look like filename~ or #filename# in the same directory | 01:52 |
| fdsa | my user name is clone, and when i try to connect to a certain network with irssi it wont let me because 'clone is erroneus' and i cant change my nick before i connect | 01:52 |
| mingdao_ | tobe: I have never played a game on the computer, but I hear it won't be as good as nvidia for some games. | 01:52 |
| mingdao_ | fdsa: maybe it says clone is registered? | 01:53 |
| fdsa | nah it wont because clone is a common irc term | 01:53 |
| mingdao_ | fdsa: registered != erroneus | 01:53 |
| escott | nilzie, to hibernate the ram must be written out to swap. so if you are using 1GB of swap and 2GB of ram you need 3GB of swap to hibernate. you can see how much swap you are using with "free -h" | 01:53 |
| shawn_ | has anyone had problems with realtek alc888 that can help me when i try to play something (music) it comes from the base not the main speakers | 01:53 |
| mingdao_ | fdsa: issue this: /nick clone | 01:54 |
| fdsa | fdsa | 01:54 |
| fdsa | is there a way i can just change my user name? | 01:54 |
| nilzie | escott: i havent installed ubuntu yet so i dont know. how much would u make the swap? | 01:54 |
| Awesomeo2000 | escott: free -t | 01:54 |
| fdsa | its the one that shows in the top right of the screen | 01:54 |
| Awesomeo2000 | nilzie: usually the rule is double the ram. | 01:54 |
| mingdao_ | fdsa: /nick <username> changes your username | 01:54 |
| fdsa | it wont let me when im not connected to the server | 01:55 |
| Awesomeo2000 | nilzie: so 2gb ram, you would set 4gb swap. | 01:55 |
| escott | Awesomeo2000, thanks i get that confused with du | 01:55 |
| mingdao_ | fdsa: if you can't change fdsa to clone ask in #freenode | 01:55 |
| qin | fdsa: check ~/.irssi/config and try /join #irssi | 01:55 |
| whiteh | anyone know if it's possible to save gedit's currently open files via the terminal? my gui (in debian), sadly, froze up. Either that, or is it possible to restart the gui? I tried 'metacity --replace' & 'gdm restart' but neither worked | 01:56 |
| mingdao_ | fdsa: clone [~clone@unaffiliated/clone] | 01:56 |
| nilzie | Awesomeo2000: thanks | 01:56 |
| escott | nilzie, it really depends on the applications you run. and how many you plan to run at one time. so its not easily answered. your system is not considered to have "lots of ram" so I would go with 2x | 01:56 |
| mingdao_ | fdsa: as I told you, someone else has registered the nick clone ... pick another one | 01:56 |
| shawn_ | can someone help me with realtek alc888 sound card ??? | 01:56 |
| nilzie | escott: and which partition would you make active? | 01:56 |
| mingdao_ | qin: clone is registered | 01:56 |
| fdsa | no im trying to connect to a different network not this one | 01:57 |
| escott | nilzie, afaik ubuntu doesnt care about it being marked active, but it would be /boot (and if you dont have a /boot then /) | 01:57 |
| fdsa | and it disconnects me before i can change my nick | 01:57 |
| mingdao_ | fdsa: then go ask on that network :-) | 01:57 |

| fdsa | i have no idea where that is, im new to linux and i dont really understand the file system | 01:59 |
| escott | !gnome3 | nilzie | 01:59 |
| ubottu | nilzie: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 01:59 |

| _harry_ | Any suggestions for my issue? | 02:03 |
| _harry_ | Not sure if anyone saw that I posted. | 02:03 |
| Boom_Farmer | Where did you check that sound was not muted? | 02:03 |
| _harry_ | Pref > Sound | 02:04 |
| Boom_Farmer | Which program, which desktop environment? | 02:04 |
| escott | _harry_, have you rebooted since the upgrade that broke things/can you check the apt log to see what was upgraded | 02:04 |
| fdsa | how do i open this config file i cant figure out how to open it with a text editor | 02:05 |
| _harry_ | Boom_Farmer, not exactly sure what you mean, but no programs have sound and I'm using Natty 11.04 | 02:05 |
| _harry_ | escott, yes I have rebooted and how do I check the log? | 02:05 |
| escott | fdsa, gedit ~/.irssi/config or vim ~/.irssi/config or $EDITOR ~/... | 02:05 |
| qin | fdsa: cd ~/.irssi && cp config config_old && gedit config | 02:06 |
| escott | _harry_, tail -n 100 /var/log/apt/history.log | 02:06 |
| Boom_Farmer | _harry_: Okay, so it's an OS-level issue. Open a terminal and run 'alsamixer', and tell me what you see. | 02:07 |
| _harry_ | Boom_Farmer, I see AlsaMixer v1.0.24.2 | 02:08 |
| Boom_Farmer | There should be a number of vertical colored bars. Do any of them have 'MM' at the bottom? | 02:08 |
| _harry_ | all of them do | 02:08 |
| mingdao_ | :- | 02:09 |
| Boom_Farmer | Well, that's your issue. Everything's muted. | 02:09 |
| MeGustavo | hola | 02:09 |
| _harry_ | oh. | 02:09 |
| Boom_Farmer | Use left and right arrow keys to select a channel, and up and down arrows to set the volume. | 02:09 |
| _harry_ | Boy do I feel dumb. | 02:09 |
| MeGustavo | if someone available to help me out lemme know :) | 02:09 |
| mingdao_ | another *dude* looking for a +b | 02:10 |
| MeGustavo | 2 packages ive installed dont show up in dpkg --get-selections | 02:10 |
| Boom_Farmer | Don't feel dumb; rather, be happy that you have learned a new troubleshooting tool. | 02:10 |
| _harry_ | still new to this, thanks a lot for the help guys | 02:10 |
| _harry_ | You're right ;) | 02:10 |
| Awesomeo2000 | _harry_:not learn to keybind it to control the volume so you don't have to run alsamixer everytime. | 02:11 |
| Awesomeo2000 | *now | 02:11 |
| _harry_ | Okay, good idea, thanks. | 02:12 |
| mingdao_ | _harry_: after you close alsamixer run "alsactl store" to save your settings across reboots | 02:12 |
| _harry_ | Okay, thanks mingdao_ | 02:12 |
| mingdao_ | _harry_: np | 02:13 |
| _harry_ | If, I can ask one more question. I installed LMMS using Synaptic, but it doesn't show up in my "audio production" menu. | 02:14 |
| _harry_ | I can get it to run, but I would like it to be with all of the other files in the menu. | 02:14 |

| fbc_mx | Is there a network utility that give you a graphical display of Access Point Channels? So you know which channel is clear? | 02:18 |
| t0ken | fbc_mx: kismet mebbe | 02:19 |
| fbc_mx | t0ken, awesome thanks | 02:19 |
| t0ken | http://www.kismetwireless.net/screenshot/kis-new-channelpower.jpg | 02:20 |
| MeGustavo | if someone available to help me out lemme know :) | 02:21 |
| MeGustavo | 2 packages ive installed dont show up in dpkg --get-selections | 02:21 |
| MeGustavo | compliling from source | 02:21 |
| fbc_mx | t0ken, is there anyway that it can display the BSSID so you know which ones are yours and need to be moved? | 02:21 |
| MeGustavo | pianobar and php | 02:21 |
| escott | MeGustavo, if you compiled from source what makes you even think they would be in dpkg | 02:22 |
| t0ken | fbc_mx: probably, it's basically a wireless sniffer. I haven't used it in many years tho | 02:22 |
| Fudge | wondering if anyone is using a new amd laptop, mine seems to have seconds of lag for no apparent reason. could jsut be swapping from intel perhaps | 02:23 |
| Atamisk | anyone up here good at running git? | 02:24 |
| itaylor57 | Atamisk, try #git | 02:25 |
| Atamisk | good idea:P | 02:25 |
| Atamisk | thanks | 02:25 |
| escott | Fudge, "lag" can be a lot of things. ive had painful lag with firefox because of filesystem issues and firefox's frequent use of sync calls | 02:27 |
| Fudge | escott its more when i switch from consoles to gnome or other way round | 02:28 |
| Fudge | there is a few seconds of lag, but i have not experienced it on my netbook or other machines with same setup | 02:28 |
| qin | fbc_mx: Not sure if this is graphical enough: "sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning | grep Channel:" | 02:29 |
| escott | Fudge, that is common. a lot of graphics card state has to be saved and torn down for the console. switching to console is not something you should do when running the proprietary drivers | 02:29 |
| Fudge | MeGustavo if you compile from source the software is not registered with debian packager | 02:29 |
| alazyworkaholic | Has anyone tried running LGP's game Cold War on ubuntu recently? I can't get sound. I got a message that suggests /dev/sound/dsp doesn't exist & it should. | 02:30 |
| Fudge | escott ah that makes sense | 02:30 |
| MeGustavo | so | 02:30 |
| fbc_mx | qin, thanks, but the kismet option give alot more info. | 02:30 |
| MeGustavo | hm | 02:30 |
| escott | MeGustavo, when compiling from source you are completely responsible for those packages. you have to update them, and you have to be able to remove them | 02:30 |
| Nighthwk | My `puter keeps crashing on ubuntu 10.04 when the montior goes to sleep. Any ideas how to fix? | 02:31 |
| MeGustavo | gotcha | 02:31 |
| MeGustavo | i'll read up on that then | 02:31 |
| escott | MeGustavo, you should try to use a --prefix argument for ./configure and put them in /opt | 02:31 |
| MeGustavo | i thought it was a glitch | 02:31 |
| MeGustavo | opt as in optional? | 02:31 |
| Awesomeo2000 | MeGustavo: opt is a directory under root / | 02:32 |
| alazyworkaholic | If a program is looking for /dev/dsp & can't find it because sound systems have evolved, is there a way to reroute the program? | 02:32 |
| escott | MeGustavo, or use /usr/local if you prefer that over /opt | 02:32 |
| escott | alazyworkaholic, symlink | 02:32 |

| Julien_ | Hi, what's the best OS for an old PC (core2duo E6300, 2GB ram, Geforce 8600GTS) ? W7 or the last ubunu? | 02:34 |
| StepNjump | escott, I installed Acronis for windows and when it rebooted, I found out it would no longer boot up. Must be due to Acronis that made a change to the boot sector | 02:35 |
| aeon-ltd | Julien_: lol old pc :) | 02:35 |
| xangua | Julien_: if you joined the ubuntu channel, what do you think is the answer you are gonna get¿ | 02:35 |
| aeon-ltd | Julien_: dude that's modern as hell | 02:35 |
| aeon-ltd | Julien_: anything would be good, though i'd choose ubuntu just to save cash | 02:36 |
| t0ken | heh, old pc = 486 DX2 | 02:36 |
| Julien_ | aeon-ltd: lol not in japan ¨! | 02:36 |
| aeon-ltd | dude everywhere c2d is only one generation old | 02:37 |
| Julien_ | xagua: i hope you are loyal,. windows channel tell me ubuntu, so ... | 02:37 |
| Awesomeo2000 | Julien_ : so download the livecd and try it out. | 02:37 |
| urlin2u | StepNjump, I have seen this happen with acronis the #windows channel may help but the forums are a great resource as well. http://www.sevenforums.com/ | 02:38 |
| MeGustavo | thanks escott Awesomeo2000 and t0ken | 02:38 |
| StepNjump | Thanks a lot urlin2u | 02:39 |
| StepNjump | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair | 02:40 |
| urlin2u | StepNjump, no problem, I only use windows for writing college papers and helping those that need it, and am anti brand loyalty, it is childish. :D | 02:40 |
| StepNjump | ooops sorry... duh this is not a terminal window | 02:40 |
| Nighthwk | My computer keeps crashing on ubuntu 10.04 when the monitor goes to sleep. Anyone have any ideas how to fix? | 02:40 |
| Xeneth | Is there a way in Ubuntu to check if my laptop has a graphics GPU capable of Cuda or Stream? | 02:40 |
| Awesomeo2000 | xeneth: nope, if you know what nvidia card you have, you can go to nvidia website to check. | 02:42 |
| StepNjump | urlin2u.. I fully agree with you. I am more anti windoze now than ever... What a waste that they forced people to upgrade all the peripherals that no longer work under Vista or Win7... We should have a new moto for Linux: Linux is GREEN | 02:42 |
| neil_m | Xeneth lspci | grep VGA | 02:42 |
| neil_m | then goodle | 02:42 |
| neil_m | ehh google | 02:43 |
| StepNjump | urlin2u, I just keep it because it came with this notebook. I only use one software on it because my peripheral will not work under Ubuntu. I love Linux. As a matter of fact, I just had it installed at my old aunt of 70 years old just today. She loves it! I think it will be easier for her to learn Linux. She was getting very nervous with all those Windoze errors she kept getting lol | 02:44 |
| urlin2u | StepNjump, I'm not so anti any OS to be honest I started on open source, they all have a good, bad and ugly side. I use open source though mainly, less work. | 02:44 |
| Evollana | StepNjump: so damn true | 02:44 |
| neil_m | plus think of all the leet points she will gain running linux | 02:45 |
| Evollana | StepNjump: so damn true | 02:45 |
| StepNjump | Evollana, what? about Linux being Green? | 02:45 |
| StepNjump | I hate waste resources | 02:45 |
| Evollana | StepNjump: wtf is Linux most ppl don't know. It is a kernel | 02:46 |
| StepNjump | Can you imagine all the landfills with all those scanners, monitors, printers and I don't know what that no longer work under Win7 that just a few months ago would sell big price... ridiculous | 02:46 |

| neil_m | :) | 02:49 |
| mingdao_ | StepNjump: rxvt-unicode | 02:49 |
| Xeneth | neil_m, It's a hand me down computer, so it may have been before development of stream. it's a 9050 radeon | 02:49 |

| neil_m | Xeneth ahh | 02:50 |
| raldu | anyone here also hates glossy laptop screens too? | 02:51 |
| Xeneth | raldu, I like them, makes it seem like new... Though I use it in a cave so no glare... | 02:51 |
| Evollana | raldu oh gosh yeah! I am half blind now because I had a Sony! | 02:51 |
| raldu | dude, it's really disturbing | 02:52 |
| raldu | I don't know where to put my laptop to get the "perfect" view | 02:52 |
| mingdao_ | although rxvt-unicode in Ubuntu seems to be built without the perl extensions ... how does one fix that? | 02:53 |
| raldu | there is always something wrong with brightness | 02:53 |
| mingdao_ | and without tabs ... it's neutered | 02:53 |
| Evollana | raldu Get some sand paper and rub that gloss out. I did. Use a fine grit though. | 02:53 |
| raldu | lol serious? | 02:53 |
| bazhang | raldu, Evollana this is far outside the scope of this channel, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat | 02:53 |
| mingdao_ | no | 02:53 |
| raldu | sorry | 02:54 |
| mingdao_ | raldu: don't rub your monitor's screen with sandpaper | 02:54 |
| mingdao_ | rub Evollana's with it, but not yours | 02:54 |
| zilly | What's the easiest way to automatically login a user with Xubuntu? | 02:54 |
| escott | raldu, think seriously about any advice someone with a nick like that gives you | 02:54 |
| raldu | yea I see now | 02:55 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: you could change the build options in the source package and build your own customized version | 02:55 |
| Guest38369 | xubuntu is naive | 02:55 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: sorry, new to Ubuntu ... but not to buildling from source | 02:55 |
| Xeneth | mingdao_, raldu: Why use sandpaper when a sledgehammer does much better ... and more satisfying. | 02:55 |
| Guest38369 | do you think so | 02:55 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | mingdao_: Lawlz, as if anyone here does... *doesn't point a few who do* | 02:56 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: well i don't know if there's another way | 02:56 |
| adam_ | hi all | 02:57 |
| tensorpudding | short of finding a PPA hosting customized versions, but that's not likely | 02:57 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Hello adam_. | 02:57 |
| adam_ | i'd like to say i love the new ubuntu beta 2 release | 02:57 |
| Xeneth | mingdao_, What are you trying to get/do? | 02:57 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | adam_: 11.10? | 02:57 |
| adam_ | yup | 02:57 |
| adam_ | unity is improved quite a lot | 02:57 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | OMG, I should hop onto that now. | 02:57 |
| adam_ | the trick to adapting to unity: learn the kb shortcuts | 02:58 |
| mingdao_ | Xeneth: urxvt has features such as tabs; launching URLs with a click, etc | 02:58 |
| Guest38369 | what about the ubuntu 11.10 | 02:58 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | adam_: I'm using 11.10 right now. (Unity 2D baby!!). | 02:58 |
| adam_ | I got the 3d drivers for my ati card | 02:58 |
| adam_ | works beautifully | 02:58 |
| Guest38369 | it much like the apple | 02:58 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: i don't believe you can get that functionality without it being built in | 02:59 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: which means compiling | 02:59 |
| mingdao_ | Those are simple configure options that whoever built it didn't include. | 02:59 |
| tensorpudding | are you sure? | 02:59 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: ./configure -help on the source ... | 02:59 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: yes | 02:59 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: I run Gentoo and Slackware | 02:59 |
| Xeneth | mingdao_, May want to look around on launchpad. There are some PPA's that may have what you are looking for. | 03:00 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | mingdao_: Actually, wouldn't it be: ./configure --help | 03:00 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: my wife's PC has Ubuntu, and I installed it on this new ThinkPad last night to have something running other than Windows | 03:00 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: i meant, are you sure that it isn't configured in the package? | 03:00 |
| tensorpudding | which parts aren't available, you say? | 03:01 |
| Evollana | in vi and just punched in a Python program. Need to set IPT in RT. How do you open a subprocess. I just hit something like this p = Popen('/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/touch /tmp/foo.txt'.split(), | 03:02 |
| Evollana | stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE) | 03:02 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: i'm looking at the source package now | 03:02 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: there aren't any configure options for tabs | 03:02 |
| Evollana | ahh Ill go back to C. Python is not my thing | 03:03 |
| jrib | Evollana: #python | 03:03 |
| Evollana | jrib program is done | 03:03 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: what do you mean by "perl extensions"? it's built with --enable-perl | 03:03 |
| jrib | Evollana: you're not asking a question? | 03:04 |
| Evollana | mingdao_ use cpan | 03:04 |
| tensorpudding | and there aren't any options involving the mouse that aren't already included | 03:04 |
| mingdao_ | Ubuntusawr[xD]: -help or --help ... if you want to use an extra keystroke | 03:05 |
| tensorpudding | are you sure you have the right package? | 03:05 |
| tensorpudding | there's a -lite package that has perl disabled | 03:05 |
| tensorpudding | are you sure that the packages you've used before are the same upstream? | 03:06 |
| tensorpudding | and not a newer version than in ubuntu (9.12)? | 03:06 |
| Evollana | jrib I was asking a question. I was coding in Python and needed to sudo. To do that I was not 100% sure how to punch in popen there. I did it with pexpect. | 03:07 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: 9.09-3 (rxvt-unicode) | 03:07 |
| tensorpudding | sorry | 03:07 |
| tensorpudding | i'm on 11.10b2 | 03:07 |
| tensorpudding | the version in natty might be older | 03:07 |
| jrib | Evollana: yes, please ask python questions in #python | 03:07 |
| brian99 | join #ubuntu-es | 03:07 |
| brian99 | como voy a ubuntu español? | 03:07 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: it's been in there for ages | 03:07 |
| xangua | !oneiric | tensorpudding | 03:07 |
| ubottu | tensorpudding: 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 | 03:07 |
| ex0 | do it.. | 03:07 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: maybe I just need some ~/.Xdefaults to trigger it | 03:07 |
| xangua | brian99: /join | 03:08 |
| brian99 | ah gracias ;) | 03:08 |
| brian99 | thanks | 03:08 |
| tensorpudding | xangua: not asking for help, i just realized i was quoting a beta version at him and not being very helpful | 03:08 |
| xangua | ok | 03:08 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: how does one get a newer version of an app? | 03:08 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: well, you use a beta version of ubuntu, or you track the upstream, or you build the latest development version of the ubuntu packages | 03:09 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: how stable is it? (11.10b2) | 03:09 |
| tensorpudding | mingdao_: it's not really appropriate for this channel | 03:09 |
| tensorpudding | the beta is discussed in #ubuntu+1 | 03:09 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: I shudder to ask ... but what is the appropriate way to build from source in Ubuntu? | 03:09 |
| tensorpudding | i don't know if this is a version issue | 03:09 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: you said you run it ... just asked if it was stable | 03:09 |
| tensorpudding | one moment | 03:09 |
| tensorpudding | it's mostly stable | 03:10 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: no, it's a lack of ~/.Xdefaults on my part ... late night and I'm busy with other things ... wasn't thinking good | 03:10 |
| tensorpudding | oh | 03:10 |
| tensorpudding | oh, that makes sense | 03:10 |
| tensorpudding | right | 03:10 |
| tensorpudding | it's configured with Xdefaults | 03:10 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: it's PEBKAC | 03:10 |
| mingdao_ | tarredness | 03:10 |
| tensorpudding | it's been a few years since i used urxvt | 03:10 |
| tensorpudding | i like gnome-terminal now | 03:11 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: that's where you get the tabs and clickable links, etc setup | 03:11 |
| Evollana | jrib now I am using Trolltech's (I lol'd) QT designer 4. I thought with all the Linux ppl here I could get a quick "like this" | 03:11 |
| tensorpudding | yes | 03:11 |
| tensorpudding | and translucent backgrounds and color schemes as i recall | 03:11 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: been using Fluxbox and minimum apps for ~8 years | 03:11 |
| tensorpudding | i spent a lot of time getting the color scheme just like Tango | 03:11 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: yes, all the bells and whistles | 03:11 |
| tensorpudding | i still have my old .Xdefaults | 03:11 |
| tensorpudding | dang | 03:12 |
| tensorpudding | i even had the urlLaunch and perl-ext-common settings | 03:12 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: I've hated all DEs for years ... but used Gnome 3 on someones machine for a few hours and liked it | 03:12 |
| tensorpudding | if i had taken the time to look at mine i could've told ou what was wrong a while ago | 03:12 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: if I wasn't so tired ... | 03:12 |
| avoider | HI | 03:12 |
| mingdao_ | tensorpudding: now when I setup a box most of that just gets rsync'ed from another ~/ | 03:13 |
| mingdao_ | on a server | 03:13 |
| avoider | Is there anyway to change the theme or layout of the sidebar on the left? | 03:13 |
| tensorpudding | avoider: depends what you mean by theme | 03:13 |
| tensorpudding | avoider: you need to install the Compiz Config Settings Manager, and look at the Unity plugin | 03:14 |
| avoider | change settings...like mobe to bottow or something. | 03:14 |
| tensorpudding | avoider: it's available in the software center | 03:14 |
| avoider | auto hide? | 03:14 |
| tensorpudding | avoider: you can change how it hides | 03:14 |
| xangua | avoider: hide yes, move no | 03:14 |
| urlin2u | avoider, compiz configuration settings manager does some no moving it though. | 03:14 |
| tensorpudding | avoider: can't change where it spawns from though | 03:14 |
| tensorpudding | avoider: and as far as theme goes, you can change the way it tints | 03:14 |
| avoider | hmm | 03:14 |

| avoider | So no matter what the bar will always be at left? | 03:15 |
| urlin2u | avoider, apparently so for now. | 03:15 |
| avoider | Intresting... well thats not an issue. | 03:16 |
| GameBoy | what is the default bootlevel of ubuntu? | 03:16 |
| Evollana | Does Ubuntu use gdm still? | 03:16 |
| xangua | Evollana: natty yes | 03:16 |
| rww | Evollana: in 11.04, yes. in oneiric, we switched to LightDM. | 03:17 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | mingdao_: Does your wife like Ubuntu? | 03:17 |
| mingdao_ | Ubuntusawr[xD]: she doesn't know the difference | 03:17 |
| Evollana | xangua kk was wondering. A few years ago I spent like a week patching Gnome to multiseat. gdm was kind of bloated at the time. 50k lines of code. | 03:18 |
| mingdao_ | Ubuntusawr[xD]: the machine boots and her 2 apps start and she's happy ... but no, the interface is too confusing for her (Unity) | 03:18 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | I see. ^^ | 03:18 |
| avoider | I dont see that program in the software center | 03:18 |
| avoider | Compiz Config Settings Manager | 03:19 |
| mingdao_ | Ubuntusawr[xD]: she's been running a machine with Fluxbox for years, so it's a bit different ;) | 03:19 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Awesome. | 03:19 |
| GameBoy | what is the etc/rc0.d directory.. anyone? | 03:20 |
| avoider | Is there another way to install Compiz via online? | 03:21 |
| GameBoy | any one.... etc/rc0.d directory?? wats its purpose? | 03:21 |
| Evollana | avoider: git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/compiz | 03:21 |
| avoider | thanks | 03:21 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | GameBoy: There should be a config file, I remember using that as a way to tell my Ubuntu, that when it boots, it will load my list of programs for me. | 03:22 |
| Evollana | you need git first | 03:22 |
| Xeneth | Gameboy just made me remember a question I have been meaning to ask. /home = home, /dev = devices, /boot = boot. What is var and etc? | 03:22 |
| ex0 | /etc etcetera | 03:22 |
| xangua | avoider: compizconfig-settings-manager if you mean to configure compiz | 03:23 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Xeneth: etc would be where most system configuration files are stored at. | 03:23 |
| Evollana | avoider: http://wiki.compiz.org/Install/Git | 03:23 |
| avoider | yes thanks xangua | 03:23 |
| GameBoy | Xeneth: /var -> Variable data such as logs | 03:23 |
| Xeneth | Ubuntusawr[xD], Looking for what it stands for. ex0 say's etcetera. Will be looking that up because I do not know that word. | 03:24 |
| xangua | Evollana: i don't think that is what he was refering | 03:24 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Xeneth: And var... I really think it's for custom softwares... At least, thats where often times, the www folder appears at. Theres also a log folder in there too. | 03:24 |
| GameBoy | Xeneth: /etc -> system configuration files | 03:24 |
| ex0 | its true though /etc stands for etcetera almost 100% sure | 03:24 |
| GameBoy | Xeneth: in the /etc directory there is info about boot | 03:24 |
| GameBoy | *booting process | 03:24 |
| Ubuntusawr[xD] | Xeneth: It means anything else. Mainly configuration files sits in there. | 03:25 |
| Evollana | xangua has ccsm too. | 03:25 |
| ex0 | correct :) | 03:25 |
| sbaker48 | Hello. I am trying to set up a laptop with windows xp and ubuntu. I partitioned the drive and installed xp in one partition fine. Then I installed ubuntu 11.04. Now when I boot I get "error: out of disk. grub rescue>" | 03:25 |

| GameBoy | Ubuntusawr: THanks buddy... but by any chance rc1.d directory means that the current run level = 1? | 03:26 |

| alazyworkaholic | Has anyone tried running LGP's game Cold War on ubuntu recently? I can't get sound. I got a message that suggests /dev/sound/dsp doesn't exist & it should. | 03:31 |
| iqbalkhan | i use ubuntu 11.04 | 03:31 |
| iqbalkhan | urlin2u: i installed ubuntu in separate partition | 03:32 |
| urlin2u | iqbalkhan, did you install it from insiide of windows? | 03:32 |
| iqbalkhan | urlin2u: no | 03:32 |
| JoeyA | alazyworkaholic: There's a way to emulate the dsp interface when running an application. I don't remember it off the top of my head. | 03:33 |
| iqbalkhan | urlin2u: i use separate partition to installed ubuntu 11.04 | 03:33 |
| urlin2u | iqbalkhan, are you runnng W7 and did you download the service pack 1? | 03:33 |
| iqbalkhan | urlin2u: i use microsoft windows xp sp2 | 03:33 |
| urlin2u | before this happened? | 03:33 |
| JoeyA | alazyworkaholic: padsp: http://linux.die.net/man/1/padsp | 03:34 |

| foul_owl | this applet here: http://www.falstad.com/circuit/ | 03:34 |
| foul_owl | i made a circuit | 03:34 |
| ramon | how do i get bash to play a sound every time i enter a command? | 03:34 |
| foul_owl | and you can save it as a text file | 03:34 |
| urlin2u | iqbalkhan, theeasiest way to do this is confirm what is where, run this script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt use the ubuntu cd. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 03:35 |
| foul_owl | by going to export....but you have to select the text and copy and paste it into a text editor. ctrl-C doesn't seem to work for copying | 03:35 |
| Evollana | iqbalkhan: Windows is evil. If you need to play games I would get an xbox | 03:35 |
| JoeyA | alazyworkaholic: You could try running the game (or wine) with padsp. There might be other problems, though. | 03:35 |
| JoeyA | (at least that would probably solve the audio issue) | 03:36 |

| shawn_ | Can someone help me?.. I dl'd the live cd... burned the iso onto a cd.. restarted windows... installed ubuntu on a partition.. and installtion complete an says please restart.. restarted an i dont get no option to boot into ubuntu | 03:36 |
| Evollana | JoeyA True the Pulse Audio Dig. Sig. Processor works but you need a fast cpu. | 03:36 |
| Blue1 | shawn_: you have a dual boot? windows/ubutnu? | 03:37 |
| urlin2u | shawn_, installed from windows=wubi | 03:37 |
| t0ken | ramon: no idea how to do what you're trying but you might want to look at setting the "bell" for the term | 03:37 |
| shawn_ | well this is what i did | 03:37 |
| shawn_ | I installed the live cd | 03:37 |
| alazyworkaholic | JoeyA: The game runs perfectly. Just no sound. I tried running padsb coldwar . The game ran, but still no sound & the same error message. | 03:37 |
| shawn_ | burned the iso | 03:37 |
| JoeyA | oh | 03:37 |
| shawn_ | copyed to a cd... restarted computer an then installed it onto a partion | 03:37 |
| shawn_ | an then told me to restart again which i did... well it did by its self | 03:38 |
| Blue1 | shawn_: you said restarted windows so...... | 03:38 |
| iqbalkhan | urlin2u: okay i'll try and i'll be right back to show you resuls.txt | 03:38 |
| JoeyA | padsp was all the advice I had. | 03:38 |
| escott | ramon, if you want a bell when the terminal completes a command you add it to the PROMPT command somehow. google for bash prompt customization | 03:38 |
| shawn_ | yeh thats what it did after intalltion it restarted windows | 03:38 |
| shawn_ | er | 03:38 |
| Blue1 | shawn_: do you have both windows and ubuntu on the same machines? | 03:38 |
| Evollana | JoeyA: alazyworkaholic tell wine to use ALSA and start the game in cmd with padsp | 03:38 |
| JoeyA | alazyworkaholic: maybe winecfg will let you configure sound? | 03:38 |
| shawn_ | Yeh.. i made a partion for it | 03:38 |
| JoeyA | yeah, what Evollana said. | 03:39 |
| urlin2u | shawn_, did you install it from a running windows? | 03:39 |
| Blue1 | shawn_: sorry if I appear dumb -- yes or no? windows and ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| tomeo | hi | 03:39 |
| alazyworkaholic | Evollana: It's not a wine game. It's a native Linux port from Linux Game Publishing. | 03:39 |
| shawn_ | i installed it from a live cd.. | 03:39 |
| Evollana | alazyworkaholic: hmmm what game? | 03:39 |

| alazyworkaholic | Evollana: Cold War | 03:40 |
| Stanley00 | tomeo: /path/to/script is better | 03:40 |
| Stanley00 | tomeo: but two of them will work ;) | 03:40 |
| tomeo | Stanley00: Would you please tell me the difference? | 03:41 |
| Evollana | alazyworkaholic: alazyworkaholic hmmm weird. A linux game that does not work? Did you use the get deb repo for it? Pulse Audio is not default on Wheezy | 03:41 |
| Stanley00 | tomeo: ./ is starting form where you are, and / is alway starting from root dir | 03:42 |
| sbaker48 | urlin2u: here is the output from the boot info script: http://pastebin.com/QWECEY5X | 03:42 |

| arooni-mobile | hi folks; i'm riding my motorcycle from seattle => argentina; currently in baja mexico. right now i suspend my laptop which i think is fine cuz it doesnt come on ;b ut i do have a regular magnetic platter hard drive... is this OK? or should i be shutting down the laptop each time? | 03:44 |
| maslen | Blue1: I don't mind the screen turning off, but I'd like to remove the need to enter the password again | 03:44 |
| escott | s0126h, if it is an intel mac you should be able to use the same cd just install it under bootcamp as if it were windows | 03:44 |
| Evollana | alazyworkaholic: Pulse should work with OSS ALSA and even JACK. Weird that you dont have sound. | 03:45 |
| Blue1 | arooni-mobile: if you are travelling always best to shutdown | 03:45 |
| Evollana | alazyworkaholic: well not JACK but you are not using that anyway | 03:45 |

| maslen | Ah, in the screensaver options, the option 'lock the computer when idle' was checked. Thanks. | 03:45 |
| maslen | ty too zykotick9 | 03:45 |
| Blue1 | maslen: look at the screensaver settings - there is a lock screen after -- that should be unchecked. | 03:46 |
| arooni-mobile | t0ken, its been *great* thus far ;) | 03:46 |
| urlin2u | sbaker48, script looks good it should be booting, use the install disc to reload grub from this link to the mbr, just read carefully. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files | 03:46 |
| escott | s0126h, that makes things harder because macs don't have anything close to a standard boot sequence. you probably need to install os x to get a bootable anything | 03:46 |
| maslen | thanks for your help Blue1, Evollana | 03:46 |
| alazyworkaholic | Evollana: the error is: /usr/lib32/libtdb.so.1.2.9open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory I wonder if maybe /dev/sound/dsp existed years ago & now I'd have to put in a symlink to reroute the audio, but I don't have any idea where to. | 03:46 |

| Evollana | cryptodira: a guess would be to flush the video buffer. Try Ctrl F1 Then back to Ctrl F8 or whatever your windows manager is using for gnome | 04:02 |
| escott | iqbalkhan, a low level disk modification tool | 04:02 |
| === Evollana is now known as qxt | ||
| iqbalkhan | escott: i use boot-repair | 04:03 |
| zykotick9 | iqbalkhan, as a translation of escott's "a low level disk modification tool" it's more a bit-for-bit copy tool. | 04:03 |

| cowlicks | I was getting an error message that asked me to report a problem, and it required me to enter an administrative password, why? | 04:04 |
| iqbalkhan | escott: and i installed the grub in separate sda, and i select sda6 | 04:04 |
| urlin2u | sbaker48, I would try a chroot, I'm assuming you understand these commands. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 04:04 |
| iqbalkhan | escott:is that cause the grub not show in boot menu? | 04:04 |
| escott | iqbalkhan, you mean you want to have sda6 be a /boot partition? the reason you aren't booting is that your mbr is looking to sda3 and its /boot directory | 04:05 |
| iqbalkhan | zykotick: um,, i never use that | 04:05 |
| escott | iqbalkhan, whatever is in sda6 is not being used right now | 04:05 |
| escott | cowlicks, to collect information needed to debug the problem | 04:05 |
| iqbalkhan | escott: so escott how to fix that? | 04:06 |
| iqbalkhan | escott:use the boot-repair again? | 04:06 |
| escott | iqbalkhan, how do you want your boot to work. do you want to use what is in sda6 or what is in sda3 | 04:06 |
| iqbalkhan | escott:i want to use in sda3 | 04:07 |
| JusticeZero | I downloaded an old package in the form of a .tar.bz2 file. I want to install the package. (the new veresion appears to have broken things, and I want to test that). What do I need to type/do to install it? | 04:08 |
| bonez2046 | what controls 'lo', the loopback adapter? I open irssi today and couldn't get a login until I ran 'ifconfig lo up', and then everything connected correctly | 04:08 |
| urlin2u | iqbalkhan, so sda3 is whch /home or /boot and sda6 is what grub is competeing, it looks like a seperate home setup? | 04:08 |
| ex0 | justice: tar -zxvf filename.tar.bz2 | 04:09 |
| escott | iqbalkhan, in that case you need to 1) boot the live cd 2) mount the sda3 partition but not the sda6 partition 3) remove the files in /mount/sda3/boot 4) mount sda6 onto /mount/sda3/boot 5) chroot into /mount/sda3 6) run grub-install /dev/sda | 04:09 |
| escott | !compile | JusticeZero | 04:09 |
| ubottu | JusticeZero: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 04:09 |
| JusticeZero | I don't know about compiling. I just want to revert to an earlier version. | 04:10 |
| urlin2u | iqbalkhan, you fstab shows sda3 as the boot partition. | 04:10 |
| ex0 | df --help | 04:10 |
| escott | JusticeZero, if you can get the old deb file you can dpkg install it directly and then pin | 04:10 |
| urlin2u | iqbalkhan, well not exactly boot but / | 04:10 |
| iqbalkhan | escott: now i'm in live cd i'll try now | 04:10 |
| escott | !pinning | JusticeZero | 04:10 |
| ubottu | JusticeZero: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 04:10 |
| ChrisH | Hello, first time on Ubuntu IRC. Trying to start unity-2d from an Ubuntu Chroot 11.04 install; unity-2d and gdm are installed, xserver and xterm are running. I am unsure of the exact command line sequence to launch the desktop. | 04:10 |
| sbaker48 | urlin2u: gah. still the same | 04:11 |
| escott | JusticeZero, check your /var/cache/apt for the old deb | 04:11 |
| iqbalkhan | urlin2u: what do you mean fstab? | 04:11 |
| todd_ | anyone know of an easy way to run cheese maximized? | 04:12 |
| Nautilus | just curious, in /etc/php5/apache2 there is a php.ini.ucf-dist file .... whats the "ucf" stand for? | 04:12 |
| bonez2046 | ChrisH: Welcome.. if you have xserver and gdm installed correctly the gui desktop should load after you reboot.. | 04:13 |
| symptom | anyone know where to set the syndaemon defaults in ubuntu 1010 | 04:13 |
| JusticeZero | escott, I only see the new (broken) version, not the older. | 04:13 |
| urlin2u | iqbalkhan, if you look art the boot script towards the bottom you will see this sda3/etc/fstab, if your not familiar it ereally doesn't matter the question is which of the two partitions sda3 and sda6, did you make / and home or did you . | 04:13 |
| iqbalkhan | escott: what the command to mount sda3? | 04:14 |
| urlin2u | iqbalkhan, I would follow escott that is where I was headed. | 04:14 |
| Stanley00 | todd_: try cheese -f ? it will be full screen | 04:14 |
| Krenair | When I upgraded to natty, I noticed a few of my applications broke slightly. | 04:15 |
| todd_ | Stanley00: No :-( | 04:15 |

| Krenair | They're still usable but behave oddly. | 04:15 |
| LindaLoveLace | is there a way i can change my windows startup services from ubuntu? im having an issue with Windows booting. | 04:15 |
| Krenair | For example, dropbox's icon in the top right (I'm using classic desktop) has no colours | 04:16 |
| Glitchy_ | anyone here know the anonymous irc channel? | 04:16 |
| escott | iqbalkhan, sudo mkdir /media/sda3; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 | 04:16 |
| LindaLoveLace | Glitchy_: it wouldn't be anonymous if everyone knew. | 04:16 |
| Krenair | jd-gui has lost it's toolbar, and the open file dialog is screwed | 04:16 |
| ex0 | #anonymous | 04:16 |
| ex0 | rofl | 04:16 |
| Glitchy_ | lol yeah I guess your right | 04:16 |
| ariesam | f | 04:16 |
| ex0 | google.com has the answer | 04:16 |
| LindaLoveLace | Glitchy_: if i were you i would use a SSL before you go in there lol | 04:17 |
| Glitchy_ | tried that, but I'm somewhat new to IRC...and when I say somewhat, I mean first time ever logging in lol | 04:17 |
| urlin2u | sbaker48, not sure here if it was me I would in the chroot purge and reinstall grub, or use a supergrub disc to get in. here is the chroot purge. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Purge_.26_Reinstall here is supergrub. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ | 04:17 |

| todd_ | I think I need to make the window fullscreen after the fact, any way to maximize a window by pid, or something??? | 04:17 |
| ChrisH | bonez2046: xserver came installed with Ubuntu chroot, gdm was installed afterward with 'sudo apt-get install gmd'. Is there a way to verify these were installed correctly? They are both using official Ubuntu repos | 04:18 |
| ariesam | nk | 04:18 |
| escott | JusticeZero, check the mirrors? | 04:18 |
| seik | i'm sure groups like that just love strangers wandering in | 04:18 |
| Glitchy_ | #LindaLoveLace Yeah, wondering if I should use Tor...but I don't know how to run an SSL, and I'm still very unfamiliar with this stuff...Hell, I'm still getting used to Ubuntu lol | 04:18 |
| Stanley00 | todd_: I remember compiz has some setting to maximize some spec app, you should search for that if you want | 04:18 |
| LindaLoveLace | is there a way i can change my windows startup services from ubuntu? im having an issue with Windows booting. | 04:18 |
| sbaker48 | urlin2u: ok thanks I'll take a look at those. This is very odd because I'm really not doing anything out of the ordinary at all. No idea why this wouldn't just work from the beginning | 04:19 |
| iqbalkhan | escott: how to remove file /sda3/boot? | 04:19 |
| JusticeZero | As noted, I found one, in .tar.bz2 form. tar does not like it because it is not gzip format. | 04:19 |
| bonez2046 | ChrisH: they are working if your system loads a gui interface, not character mode as in here, but graphical instead | 04:19 |
| silv3r_m00n | I have a firefox icon on my desktop , where can I get the icon image? | 04:19 |
| iqbalkhan | escott:can you give me the command in each step you said, if you don't mind,, | 04:19 |
| LindaLoveLace | Glitchy_: tbh if you dont really understand ubuntu and what not i wouldn't suggest going in anonymous channel, their gunan think your a skiddie, but if your just looking for there movement and information then sure. -we also like to tell you that it's illegal :D | 04:20 |
| bonez2046 | ChrisH: you may have to tweak your xserv.conf or appropriate configuration file for your video hardware to get it to generate the graphical interface | 04:20 |
| todd_ | Stanley00: What I am not sure what you mean??? | 04:20 |
| cowlicks | I was getting an error message that asked me to report a problem, and it required me to enter an administrative password, why? | 04:21 |

| === rook is now known as Guest6128 | ||
| LindaLoveLace | Glitchy_: fully understandable i myself support them, but i would suggest making sure you're secure before you enter because that is their turf, not saying their all destructive but you also never know who is in there. | 04:23 |

| LindaLoveLace | Glitchy_: anyways i need to reboot win7 is having issues /sigh typical lol | 04:23 |
| Glitchy_ | True, I really need to learn more about this OS and learn how to secure my stuff prior to hopping in there anyway, that way I don't put them at risk... | 04:24 |
| Stanley00 | todd_: nope, I just use oneiric, and there a setting in unity, dont know much about natty and before... | 04:24 |
| Glitchy_ | K, hit me up if you can, maybe you can help me a little | 04:24 |
| LindaLoveLace | Glitchy_: well i would suggest sitting in this channel and playing around with ubuntu as much as you can, exploring is considering hacking aswell ;) | 04:25 |
| todd_ | Stanley00: a setting in unity??? | 04:25 |
| LindaLoveLace | Glitchy_: sorry - it IS a part of hacking** basics are key point to learning | 04:25 |
| === yakeb-flooder is now known as yakeb | ||
| ChrisH | bonez2046: Is there a manual command sequence to launch GDM or Ubuntu 2D from the command line? Perhaps that will display error feedback that I can use to troubleshoot xorg. When executing just 'ubuntu-2d' from terminal, it returns 'command not found'. Was hoping I was misstyping the command or should include somehting like 'exec ubuntu-2d' or something | 04:26 |
| Stanley00 | todd_: in oneiric, it has a key /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/automaximize_value that auto maximize a win, but I didnt see it in natty, maybe it hides somewhere | 04:28 |
| ariesam | q opinan d Google+ ?¿ | 04:28 |
| Stanley00 | todd_: but I dont see much diff between maximize and fullscreen, just use what you have then ;) | 04:29 |

| CoffeeIV | I am using tar to do regularly scheduled backups of some files that change (log files), and I would like to suppress the "file changed as we read it" message tar gives, because it makes the script appear to fail.

| Ibis | sereal: adduser <username> <groupname> | 04:33 |
| Ibis | sereal: It could because the group only has view permission. (ANd so far, the owner has full read-write permission). | 04:35 |
| Ibis | sereal: If you're doing this on your own personal computer. I would simply just make a virtualhost and then set it up so that document root is in my home folder. /home/<myself>/mywebsite/public_html Visit the #httpd channel for more info on setting up virtualhost | 04:37 |

| urlin2u | wubi* | 05:12 |
| knandan | BTW.. i am using Ubuntu 9.04/jaunty | 05:13 |
| urlin2u | knandan, you know jaunty is end of life I assume. | 05:14 |
| knandan | so..does that mean, i wont be able to install software on this? | 05:14 |
| knandan | is that the reason why i am getting this error? | 05:15 |
| kneaux | t0ken, thanks, i'll check it out, although i am weak and will try as hard as possible to make things work through repositories | 05:15 |
| urlin2u | knandan, I think so, it is not in the regular repos, but there are ways not sure of them though without searching the web. | 05:16 |
| KM0201 | knandan: yes, that is why you are getting those errors. When a distro hits end of life, the repos "close". | 05:16 |
| KM0201 | !eolupgrade | knandan | 05:17 |
| Na`vi | Why cant i give more than 30 for WUBI installation/? | 05:17 |
| KM0201 | woops | 05:17 |
| KM0201 | !eol | knandan | 05:17 |
| ubottu | knandan: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 05:17 |
| KM0201 | knandan: read the 'EOL U pgrade" part of that link | 05:17 |
| Na`vi | Why cant i give more than 30GB for my wubi installation | 05:17 |
| JusticeZero | garrr. my network is a steaming pile of garbage. | 05:18 |
| KM0201 | na | 05:18 |
| knandan | urlin2u: KM0201 isnt it bizarre..lets say I am having a version of linux..and after the eol I am not able to install ...? | 05:18 |
| sivakumar_ | DarkForest, it is not working | 05:18 |
| billet75 | I started a new install of 11.04 using the alternative image. I get a error: cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available | 05:18 |
| urlin2u | Na`vi, that is the way it is designed did you get a chance to read the link. | 05:18 |
| KM0201 | knandan: no its not bizarre at all... do you break out your windows 3.x software, and try to install it on Win 7 | 05:18 |
| Na`vi | <url> am reading | 05:19 |
| billet75 | it's a fresh install like twice | 05:19 |
| billet75 | any ideas | 05:19 |
| KM0201 | billet75: yes, don't encrypt your home drive | 05:19 |
| billet75 | ok thx will that resolve it? | 05:19 |
| sivakumar_ | i have installed vm ware player last night...till then after rebooting the my pc i lost my window controls ..please help me its disgusting | 05:19 |
| KM0201 | billet75: look at the error. | 05:19 |
| kneaux | how do I make my computer available as a DLNA service on my (android) phone? | 05:20 |
| urlin2u | billet75, take a look here. http://askubuntu.com/questions/49946/switch-from-encrypted-partition-to-unencrypted-error-cryptsetup-evms-activate | 05:20 |
| knandan | KM0201: but Ubuntu releases are quite too often...and also in case of windows the support doesnt stop so abruptly.. | 05:20 |
| KM0201 | knandan: it's supported for 18months... if you want longer support, use an LTS release (3yrs) | 05:21 |
| knandan | KM0201: so..what is the way out for me..i need to have the latest ubuntu installed..? | 05:21 |
| KM0201 | knandan: at this point though, the next LTS is in about 10mo, so... if you have really new hardware, installing 10.04 (the last LTS release) you might have some hardware recognition issues | 05:22 |
| KM0201 | knandan: did you read the link i gave you? | 05:22 |
| knandan | i have just started reading it.. | 05:22 |
| KM0201 | knandan: pay particular attention to the "looking to upgrade an EOL release" link. | 05:23 |
| knandan | KM0201: alright.. | 05:23 |
| billet75 | it's a clean install, brand new machine, I want full disk encryption due to the kind of work i do. It asked me if I wanted my home directory encypted after choosing full disk so I should not choose yes for my home dir correct? | 05:24 |
| KM0201 | billet75: what on earth do you need full disk encryption for?.. that's a recipe for fail... install ubuntu (w/o encryption)... then after its installed, use some of the free tools to create some encrypted folders, and keep your porn in those folders. | 05:25 |
| KM0201 | some of you guys amaze me how you'll go out of your way, to just "try" and create a problem | 05:26 |
| KM0201 | lol | 05:26 |
| billet75 | I am using it on my 10.10 64 bit love will not boot until you give it the password it's the most secure | 05:26 |
| billet75 | search google the FBI and Price Waterhouse can't break it | 05:27 |
| * KM0201 sighs | 05:27 | |
| mfranz | KM0201: FDE is a requirement for most large organizations. Folder based encryption doesn't cut it. | 05:27 |
| KM0201 | mfranz: well, then.. there's other distros that will do this natively | 05:28 |
| billet75 | I don't want to be the idiot that gets his laptop stolen and everyone reads about | 05:28 |
| mfranz | the alternative install works fine you install ubuntu-desktop later | 05:28 |
| KM0201 | ken | 05:29 |
| billet75 | mfranz, I think I choose the wrong option, after it ask in lvm for the encryption then it asked if I want to encrypt my home dir, I believe this is the root cause of the error not sure has anyone else got it | 05:29 |
| mfranz | yeah, I don't use the $HOME encryption the LUKS (LVM) encryption works fine, although as of 10.04 it didn't actually zero out/randomize your disk like Debian does | 05:31 |
| htlm | Hi | 05:31 |
| billet75 | 11.04 I have installed like three time same error so I am trying 10.10 | 05:31 |
| billet75 | it's new hardware so no data | 05:31 |
| mfranz | billet: I even managed to recover from a livecd once when I forgot my password (but not my key) | 05:32 |
| billet75 | yep, this is the error I got Switch from encrypted partition to unencrypted (E) | 05:33 |
| billet75 | sorry | 05:33 |
| billet75 | error: cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available | 05:33 |
| billet75 | it's my understanding that you can not encrypt the drive after install correct | 05:34 |
| sivakumar_ | DarkForest, it worked | 05:34 |
| mfranz | billet, not LUKS because you are encrypting it prior to creating the filesystem | 05:35 |
| billet75 | so why do think it's having an issue with evms after the first boot | 05:35 |
| billet75 | could it be because I told it to encrypt the home dir after it had already set the key on the entire disk? | 05:36 |
| sivakumar_ | how to fix vm ware | 05:36 |
| kneaux | i've tried rygel and supersonic and still can't figure out how i'm supposed to make my computer available as a DLNA server, any help? | 05:37 |
| knightrage | heya guys. i am trying to VNC into one of my machines, but the computer isn't logged in.... [basically, it had a power outage but the BIOS settings turned it back on, and is not waiting at the 'select a user and enter a password' screen] | 05:37 |
| Xeneth | Any advanced programmers or system analyst on? I have a quick question, and while it's nut Ubuntu, it does not fit to any channel that I know of. | 05:38 |
| kneaux | (software that assumes you already know how to use software like it is the biggest fail in software. no contest. no argument. hands down. dlnafail.) | 05:38 |
| knightrage | i can ssh into it fine. is there any way I can access it via VNC or XDMP or something? | 05:38 |
| mfranz | knight, you can start vnc session while logged in via ssh | 05:38 |
| mfranz | knight. apt-get install tightvncserver | 05:39 |
| knightrage | mfranz: is there a way I can start the :0 screen? so, when the human turns on the physical monitor, it will be already logged in | 05:40 |
| mfranz | knight: that I don't know | 05:40 |
| kneaux | for instance, when I run rygel, what network interface should i be telling it to listen on? Shouldn't it be broadcasting on a network interface as well? | 05:40 |
| knightrage | hmm ok | 05:41 |
| mfranz | knight, if you find out where it stores the settings to do autologin and edit those, I'm assume it would work | 05:41 |
| knightrage | aaah ok i'll google. thanks | 05:42 |
| htlm | billet75 what's wrong | 05:42 |
| htlm | Xeneth give a shot ... maybe I direct u | 05:45 |
| Xeneth | htlm I came acro a condition in a CMTS at work in which I got in when I shouldn't have. It's a IOS like cisco, but it's not. What happened was that I I was letting my fingers move out of habit putting in a user/pass for another machine. 3 times I got access denied as I was expecting. The forth time I got in. I had less permissions then even the non-privileged mode becuase I was not even able to do a show command. What I'm trying to und | 05:49 |
| Xeneth | erstand is how. Did I get with a missing uid? Basiclly I am going to bring this up to our NOC, but I want more info to tell them. | 05:49 |
| Xeneth | htlm, I wand to be able to explain it because I do not think I could duplicate it. | 05:50 |
| sivakumar_ | hii | 05:52 |
| htlm | wooow mmm .... slow down a bit what's with all the lingo or abbreviations | 05:52 |
| htlm | hi | 05:52 |
| htlm | Xeneth ... what... | 05:54 |
| Xeneth | htlm, CMTS I am not sure it's full meaning. I think "Cable Modem" is the CM. It's an RF routed for my ISP. | 05:54 |
| Xeneth | htlm, err router | 05:54 |
| Xeneth | htlm, RF = Radio Frequency | 05:55 |
| Xeneth | htlm, IOS = Internal Operating System (Unix Based I think) | 05:56 |
| === nyuszika7h is now known as nyan_cat | ||
| Xeneth | htlm, may be wrong on that one. | 05:56 |
| htlm | what's acro ... and cmts and ios noc? | 05:56 |
| Xeneth | htlm, Now you see why I was asking for an advanced programer or system analyst. | 05:57 |
| Xeneth | htlm, NOC = Network Operations Center. The group that directly deals with the routers/switches/equipment of the network. | 05:58 |
| htlm | well my my policy is is trying to take a problem head on and no matter what you doin I can always improve on the spot for what just you, and if I get lucky I can help more people ....lol which I seem to do... its a win win | 05:59 |
| htlm | no no matter what my skill level is * | 05:59 |
| htlm | so you work on cisco system? | 06:00 |
| htlm | what os is it .... | 06:01 |
| htlm | specs | 06:01 |
| Xeneth | htlm, It's close to a cisco, but it's not. I was thinking of asking that channel too. | 06:01 |
| === nyan_cat is now known as nyan-cat | ||
| htlm | OK ... what's the exact model | 06:02 |
| Xeneth | htlm, Can't give details for security reasons, I wanted to ask a specific question, but need someone who knows in depth of the authentication process of unix OS's. | 06:02 |
| Xeneth | htlm, just because you asked, I googled it. CMTS = Cable modem termination system | 06:04 |
| htlm | well ... for what I know of bash... just push up of the lady command ..can you do that.. the take a sceenshot for every command | 06:06 |
| htlm | so what's that do.. | 06:06 |
| Amdpc | Hi...I want to add the toolbar (which has file,edit etc options) to the panel..any ideas ? | 06:06 |

| blahsphemer_ | I am attempting to understand why my race condition exploit (homework) wouldn't work on ubuntu 11.04 but works fine on 9.04. The symlink creation happens fine, but open returns EACCESS error | 06:08 |
| Awesomeo2000 | Mokilok: more like c | 06:08 |
| blahsphemer_ | How do I diagnose this | 06:08 |
| Mokilok | thanks | 06:08 |
| Awesomeo2000 | Amdpc: i did it once. give me a second to recall. | 06:08 |
| Amdpc | Awesomeo2000 : Do you know how to do it ? | 06:08 |
| Amdpc | <Awesomeo2000> : ok | 06:08 |
| Awesomeo2000 | amdpc: it's called global-menu | 06:09 |
| Awesomeo2000 | amdpc: not sure if it's still supported. but check it ou. | 06:09 |
| Amdpc | <Awesomeo2000> : I am using 10.10 mavrick....and where can I get the global-menu ? | 06:10 |
| Awesomeo2000 | http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ | 06:11 |
| htlm | blahsphemer_ good luck 11.04 has a lot of problems try 10.04 or 10.10 | 06:11 |
| blahsphemer_ | htlm: it wouldn't work even in 10.10 either. I just found that it;s because of kernel.yama.protected_stick_symlinks. | 06:12 |
| Awesomeo2000 | amdpc: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ | 06:12 |
| Amdpc | <Awesomeo2000> Let me check it...pl wait | 06:12 |
| blahsphemer_ | htlm: I want to know how this this works | 06:12 |
| htlm | Xeneth IM learning about the very ones your asking about ... just a sec | 06:13 |
| Amdpc | <Awesomeo2000> : Till then..how can I remove the standard toolbar whi opens in every window ? | 06:15 |
| htlm | blasphemer are you talking about.. I different get what you just said | 06:15 |
| Awesomeo2000 | amdpc: i don't remember how i did it. There may be an option to hide it. Read their wiki. | 06:16 |
| Amdpc | <Awesomeo2000> : Thanks :) | 06:20 |
| Awesomeo2000 | amdpc: no problem. don't forget to get awn as well. | 06:20 |

| gulzar | tried installing gnome3 from ppa .... system broke. Then purged the ppa everything reverted back but only panel is missing and getting this error : E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 06:34 |
| theadmin | gulzar: You can't safely downgrade, well, basically anything. Sorry. | 06:35 |
| gulzar | <theadmin> downgrade worked only rythmbox is creating this prob..... | 06:36 |
| theadmin | gulzar: You just said gnome-panel is | 06:36 |
| theadmin | gulzar: Which is the main part of Gnome, anyway. | 06:37 |
| gulzar | <theadmin> ya the panel can be replaced ny awn but this dpkg error not | 06:37 |
| theadmin | gulzar: Try the usual routine maintenace stuff | 06:38 |
| theadmin | gulzar: sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo apt-get -f install and such | 06:38 |
| gulzar | <theadmin> tried both the command -- NO | 06:38 |
| gulzar | <theadmin> will uninstalling rythmbox solves it? | 06:39 |
| theadmin | gulzar: Think so. | 06:39 |
| KM0201 | if rythmbox is causing the prob, i don't see why it wouldn | 06:39 |
| KM0201 | t | 06:39 |
| gulzar | <KM0201> so removing it is OK? | 06:40 |
| KM0201 | gulzar: why wouldn't it be? it's just a music program. | 06:40 |
| gulzar | <KM0201> lets try then | 06:40 |

| Diamondcite | Chris-Admin: Which ubuntu version? | 07:22 |
| Chris-Admin | Diamondcite - 11.04, i have Ubuntu Tweak installed, does that have settings for it ? | 07:23 |
| Chris-Admin | Diamondcite - Ubuntu tweak doesnt have anything about it. I am looking to change the Battery % for Critical Battery etc. I have a long life battery, but when it hits 30% my laptop suspends and i cannot use it | 07:24 |
| Killeur57 | hello | 07:24 |
| Diamondcite | Chris-Admin: Unfortunately I still use 10.10.. I wonder if gconf-editor still exists for you | 07:24 |
| Killeur57 | I have a problem its someone could help me | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Killeur57: ask and see | 07:25 |
| Chris-Admin | oh yes, i have that. but i havent got much experience in it | 07:25 |
| Killeur57 | 2 days ago when I installed my ram (2GB) 4GB already has it that by identifying 3 qand go and I go to ubuntu studio and I had no more material for his (then I looked Tomorrow's since I've tried lots of stuff but nothing works. I do video editing with no sound then do not it sad oligist @ ubuntu: ~ $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.. P4M890 Host Bridge 00:00.1 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.. P4M890 Host Bridg | 07:25 |
| Diamondcite | Chris-Admin: Starts gconf-editor | 07:26 |
| Chris-Admin | Diamondcite, Already have :), where should i look for that setting? | 07:26 |
| Diamondcite | Chris-Admin: / -> apps -> gnome-power-manager -> thresholds -> percentage_critical | 07:26 |
| Diamondcite | Chris-Admin: My value for that is set to 3 | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Killeur57: so you installed some RAM and the system doesn't boot? | 07:27 |
| Chris-Admin | Diamondcite- My Critical it set to 3 as well, does that maen 30% or 3% ? i notice that the problem only happened when i disconnected power. | 07:27 |
| Killeur57 | It starts normally | 07:28 |
| young0011 | hello every body,i wonder how to keep my ssh connection always alive? | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Killeur57: so what is the issue, your question is very disjointed. What app or hardware is not working? | 07:28 |
| Diamondcite | Chris-Admin: Odd... I REALLY don't notice that.. I usually run my netbook down to 10%, and I never had the critical battery warning any earlier.. | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | young0011: change the timeout in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 07:28 |
| Killeur57 | audio equipment | 07:29 |
| Chris-Admin | DiamondCite - I will see how it goes, but i saw that when i changed the settings for the Ciritcal, it said "Only Applies if use_profile_time is false" should i disable that and see if its using the profile from my old battery? | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Killeur57: so you have no sound? | 07:29 |
| young0011 | ActionParsnip: if i want to keep it always on,so i can change it to a very big number? | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | young0011: you can disable it to be indefinite | 07:30 |
| Killeur57 | ubuntu does not notice my sound card | 07:30 |
| young0011 | ActionParsnip: ok ,thx | 07:30 |

| Pupeno | How do I configure Ubuntu to auto-mount a tablet, a Asus Transformer (running Android 3)? | 07:31 |
| Chris-Admin | Killeur57. Go to your terminal and type uname -r. Then go into Synaptics Package Manger, and find the linux-headers that correspond to your kernel. Select to Re-install all of them, and then choose to re-install Alsa-Base. | 07:31 |
| abhinavmehta | Pupeno: thank you. :) | 07:31 |
| Chris-Admin | DiamondCite - I have disabled that setting and i will see how well it works. Thank you for your help :) | 07:32 |
| Killeur57 | ok | 07:32 |
| dr_willis | Pupeno: with my android stuff when i enable the usb-storage - the file manager pops up automatically without me doing anything | 07:32 |
| Diamondcite | Chris-Admin: Hope it works out for you. | 07:32 |
| Pupeno | dr_willis: android 3 doesn't implement usb storage anymore. | 07:32 |
| Chris-Admin | Diamondcite - Thank you :) | 07:32 |
| Pupeno | dr_willis: it uses mtf or something like that. | 07:32 |
| Diamondcite | Chris-Admin: Also, just incase, try to change the setting to something else and change it back. It might have been overwritten | 07:32 |
| Killeur57 | I did not understand | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | Killeur57 | 07:33 |
| ubottu | Killeur57: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 07:33 |
| dr_willis | Pupeno: saving up for a tablet for xmas. :) | 07:33 |
| Chris-Admin | Diamondcite - You mean, change the critical from 3 to 4, then back ? | 07:33 |
| Diamondcite | Chris-Admin: Yes. | 07:33 |

| Pupeno | Can autos mount mtp devices? | 07:40 |
| Pupeno | autofs | 07:40 |
| gulzar | cannot remove residual config from synaptic. After selecting for complete removal the apply button is still grey. How to do it? | 07:40 |
| Pupeno | or is there another way to make an MTP device, like an Android 3 device, easy mountable. | 07:41 |
| Pupeno | ? | 07:41 |
| dr_willis | http://alldroid.org/tabid/40/g/posts/t/1125/Mount-Internal-Storage-of-Xoom-in-Ubuntu.aspx | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | gulzar: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade be sure to close synaptic first | 07:41 |
| dr_willis | and a dozen other hits for 'mtp ubuntu mount' when i looked. :) | 07:41 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install mtpfs | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: seems we are the chosen 2 that google/duckduckgo allow access to their sites | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | seems to be step 1 :) | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | !info mtpfs | 07:42 |
| ubottu | mtpfs (source: mtpfs): FUSE filesystem for Media Transfer Protocol devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9-3 (natty), package size 14 kB, installed size 84 kB | 07:42 |
| Pupeno | dr_willis: I already have mtpfs and I can mount by hand, but my wife can't. | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Pupeno: make a script with your command :) | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | make fstab entry, with the users option enabled then Pupeno | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Pupeno: just use gksudo instead of sudo | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | that site has some other stuff that may be out of date. its hard to tell with each new release more stuff gets enabled by default | 07:43 |
| llutz | Pupeno: you added your wife to "fuser" group? | 07:43 |
| Pupeno | that still requires openiung the console. | 07:43 |
| llutz | Pupeno: use an udev-rule | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | or make a script/icon... | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Pupeno: not if you make a script, it can be double clicked on the desktop | 07:44 |
| dr_willis | ive also seen many a mount gizmos gui;s in the past. :) with buttons., | 07:44 |
| Pupeno | llutz: do you mean fuse? no, I haven't. She's an admin though. | 07:44 |
| cjs | So, my remuco-mplayer package under 11.04 doesn't seem to work; it doesn't play anything with "remuco-mplayer a.mp3 b.mp3 c.mp3" even though mplayer is in my path, and just using mplayer with that command line works fine. Where do I go for help on this? | 07:45 |
| IamTrying | Ubuntu 11.04 - has serious BUG when you ues capture card in 64-bit. Where Ubuntu 10.04 does not had that. | 07:45 |
| llutz | Pupeno: sry fuse i meant, yes. since mtpfs is a FUSE-fs, she needs to be member to use it (iirc) | 07:45 |
| Pupeno | llutz: I'll try that, thanks. | 07:45 |

| tp43 | if you connect your monitor to your laptop, is it possible to have dual screen? Cause right now, my laptop display and my monitor connected via vga show the same thing | 07:48 |
| dr_willis | I just access my android devices over the network - :) with WiFi File Explorer on my android stuff. | 07:48 |
| cjs | Oh, seems remuco does not use standard BT remote controls. Never mind. | 07:48 |
| gulzar | <ActionParsnip> upgrade: 0 to install 0 to remov 0 to updgrade... means nothing in it | 07:49 |
| llutz | dr_willis: andftp, totalcommander do well | 07:49 |
| tp43 | dr_willis, how is android for programs, can you run same programs on your desktop on android? what is kernel version? | 07:49 |
| ghabit | Hello. How to change ubuntu's popup window position? it is too far from top of screen. | 07:49 |
| dr_willis | tp43: You have to have android apps. :) | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | gulzar: ok then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: I just use dropbox :) | 07:50 |
| Pupeno | dr_willis: I got my wife one, I like it. I'll get one for me when I can. | 07:50 |
| tp43 | dr_willis, no freedom eh, better off with windows ce then cause there are tons of gpl programs for it | 07:50 |
| cjs | Is there anything that will allow me to use the play/pause and track forward/back controls on my Bluetooth headphones with any Ubuntu player? | 07:50 |
| dr_willis | tp43: i never said there was no 'gpl' programs for android.. theres more then likely more for android then windws cd. | 07:50 |
| auronandace | tp43: do you have a nvidia card? | 07:51 |
| dr_willis | tp43: You asked if the same app runs on your linux desktop.. answer is it needs tobe compiled for your desktop os, or for android.. since the 2 are both using linux as the core.. but are not identical | 07:51 |
| tp43 | dr_willis, glad to hear it, I will buy one asap. I heard ms is taking a cut for every android device | 07:51 |
| tp43 | auronandace, I think so | 07:51 |

| dr_willis | Pupeno: you wold need to log her out/back in for the group change to take effect. | 07:52 |
| auronandace | tp43: ah, then no | 07:52 |
| Pupeno | dr_willis: did it | 07:52 |
| tp43 | dr_willis, yeah, but is there a decent package management system and ready to go packages available, cause who is gonna waiste time compiling for a handheld toy | 07:53 |
| auronandace | tp43: i don't know how to do dual screen with ati cards | 07:53 |
| dr_willis | tp43: thats the whole point of the android markets and the .apk files.. | 07:53 |
| tp43 | auronandace, what about the AMD radeons, cause I thinking of buying an hp laptop | 07:53 |
| gulzar | <ActionParsnip> no help.... list is still full in synaptic and apply button is grey | 07:54 |
| auronandace | tp43: i've only ever done dual screen with nvidia cards | 07:54 |
| tablemaster | if I don't get a login screen when my computer boots, and I have to switch to a different tty and startx to get a desktop, what can I reinstall to fix the problem? | 07:54 |
| tp43 | auronandace, but as far as hardware goes, you can use the vga port separately then the direct connection to you laptop display to dual screen with a desktop monitor? | 07:54 |
| auronandace | tp43: yes, it is possible but i wouldn't know how | 07:55 |
| tp43 | auronandace, well, my question was specific to the laptop case, using the vga plug | 07:55 |
| Pupeno | you have to be logged in in ubuntuforums to read pages? | 07:55 |
| dr_willis | Pupeno: yes. | 07:55 |
| Pupeno | WTF? why? | 07:55 |
| dr_willis | ask in #ubuntuforums i guess | 07:55 |
| Pupeno | ok,. | 07:56 |
| tp43 | auronandace, so you did it before, you had a laptop, and you plugged in a desktop display and had dual screen? | 07:56 |
| dr_willis | spam/abuse would be my guess. | 07:56 |
| auronandace | tp43: i'm using dual screen myself with a t61 and an external monitor via vga so i know its possible | 07:56 |
| htlm | llutz I was wondering about that app... I need it for college or one like it.. we I hope I can help and be helped | 07:56 |
| auronandace | tp43: i configured it via nvidia settings | 07:56 |
| tp43 | auronandace, think pad t61, and the two screens are different? | 07:57 |
| auronandace | tp43: yes | 07:57 |
| auronandace | tp43: it what i'm talking to you on now | 07:57 |
| tp43 | so i'd say nvidia rules, I am sure it can be done with amd's ati too though | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Pupeno: ask in #ubuntuforums | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gulzar: can you pastebin the output of both commands please | 07:58 |
| auronandace | tp43: yes it can, but I don't know how, so i can't help you there | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | tp43: +1 for nvidia | 07:58 |
| tp43 | amd owns ati now, so you see vid cards called amd radeon instead of ati radeon | 07:58 |
| htlm | tp43 I seen a few apps in the Ubuntu app center and out on the internet | 07:58 |

| tablemaster | ActionParsnip: nope | 08:00 |
| dr_willis | ghabit: popup window? what window? | 08:01 |
| StanleyA | In my torrent folder I have a rar file of an iso image. | 08:01 |
| tp43 | I installed Linux on my IPAQ but there weren't a decent browser to support https for gmail | 08:01 |
| tp43 | it was 2.2 kernel, and even that is gone now, cause the site is down | 08:01 |
| StanleyA | but when I use virtual box to open it up the folder is not there | 08:01 |
| dr_willis | ghabit: compiz has various plugins to set options for specific window types. I use it for example to make the file-copy windows always be on top. | 08:01 |
| StanleyA | any ideas how to fix this? | 08:01 |
| htlm | dr_willis I like that app... IM thing buying it | 08:01 |
| ghabit | dr_willis, 'connected to eth0' for example, other notifications. | 08:01 |
| dr_willis | StanleyA: use vbox to open a rar with an iso in it .. to boot in vbox? i dont think vbox handles rars | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | tablemaster: boot to root recovery mode and reinstall gnome-power-manager (it might be management) | 08:02 |
| tablemaster | ActionParsnip: thanks | 08:02 |
| tp43 | you know, a few times, when I am watching youtube or ctv videos in flash format, my system freezed, and I have to reboot | 08:02 |
| tp43 | I can't even get a text terminal, I have to power off | 08:02 |
| zykotick9 | ghabit, i think "notification" is the key word, not pop-up | 08:02 |
| ghabit | zykotick9, thank you, my english is poor. | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | StanleyA: did you MD5 test the ISO? | 08:03 |
| htlm | tp43 I think that 2.2 kernels is a little old what distro and version are you running? | 08:03 |
| ghabit | How to change ubuntu's notification window position? it is too far from top of screen. Or maybe it is possible to switch off? | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | StanleyA: if you are using windows, your dumb OS will make it appear as an archive because winrar can handle ISO files. You do NOT extract the files | 08:04 |

| johansson | Iv'e got a question, im doing a assignment at school that wants us to install ubuntu 10.04, then learn some commands etc..the last assignment is to do something that only root is able to without "knowning" the password eg. hack the root account somehow. I've read about to edit the grub bootloader and type in "rw init=/bin/bash" after the kernelline, this works but I need to know what "rw init=/bin/bash" accually does. Can anybody | 08:07 |
| johansson | help me or show me some informative link etc? | 08:07 |
| johansson | ofcourse, if you have any better or other tips, please advise me =) | 08:08 |
| htlm | tp43 which one are you on | 08:08 |
| tp43 | Ibyss, whenever I install Ubuntu, I get two boot options for each install, one is regular and one is single user mode which is Linux version of safe mode for Windows | 08:08 |
| gabson | ActionParsnip, no language specific just need some help understanding modules for a flowchart assignment i have | 08:08 |
| ghabit | htlm, sorry, cannot understand it ) | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | johansson: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | johansson: replaces 'init' with the command you gave... | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | gabson: try ##programming then | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | johansson: you now have root access, no password | 08:09 |
| htlm | tp43 IM guessin your new to Linux stuff | 08:09 |
| ares_ | ubottu: i will try | 08:09 |
| ubottu | ares_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:09 |
| tp43 | htlm, you misunderstood, I installed Linux on my IPAQ handheld from handhelds.org which is shutdown now, and it was 2.4 Currently i am on my laptop which is 2.6 ie Ubuntu 10 | 08:09 |
| johansson | okey, thanks | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ares_: if you can run the command I gave it will make a URL, what is the URL | 08:09 |
| johansson | guess i need to read on the init command then | 08:09 |
| Pupeno | damn ubuntu vs mtp devices. | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | !init | 08:10 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 08:10 |
| ares_ | ActionParsnip: I tried your commands but it's not working | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ares_: can you be more detailed please | 08:10 |
| johansson | found some stuff, it's like a program that starts processes right? and put the computer in different runlevels? | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !runlevel | johansson | 08:10 |
| ubottu | johansson: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 08:10 |
| johansson | okey, so most guides are out-dated, because everyone i read mentions /etc/inittab | 08:11 |
| htlm | Ares we are as blind as you let us see... so the better and more info the better we see | 08:11 |

| johansson | true =) | 08:11 |
| ares_ | ActionParsnip: I'm using ubuntu 10.10 x64 and i haven't got sound I don't know why.. | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | ghabit: so? thats normal. the space is there for 'space' for any SPECIAL type notifications. You were given a url earlier on how to customze the NotifyOSD system. modifying it is basically not supported here. | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ares_: if you run the command I gave, you can select to upload to the servers andmake a URL, what is the URL? | 08:12 |
| johansson | well, thanks for your help guys. see you later | 08:12 |
| ghabit | Yes, thanks a lot! | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | thers also ways to totally replace the notify-osd stuff and have it appear in differnt areas/ways. :) like Lubuntu does. | 08:13 |

| dr_willis | its very easy to fill up a persistant save file. if you treat thesystem as a 'normal fully installed system' :) | 08:19 |
| tularis | haha | 08:19 |
| Pupeno | if I run the mtpfs command with sudo it works, but with gksudo it doesn.t | 08:20 |
| tularis | ok folks :P | 08:20 |
| tularis | i got a new Error | 08:20 |
| tularis | i installed ubuntu with alternate version | 08:20 |
| AndChat | During the ubuntu 64 11.04 installation, I'm at a black screen filled with text. I chose to encrypt my home directory, so I think 'code: <lots of letters numbers> ' is probably an encryption key... | 08:20 |
| ubuntu_ | alternative might work on a 4gb usb? | 08:20 |
| tularis | and now i can't boot up, i got a black screen. In recovery mode, the screen freeze at the secon line "Loading initial ramdisk" | 08:20 |
| htlm | ubuntu_ did you think reading the docs of it... and 3gb is what I say if need after updates programs and finally your data or aka files | 08:21 |
| tularis | ubuntu_: it does | 08:21 |
| AndChat | Then, after lines starting with "rip" "rsp" and "cr2" it's just paused or frozen, while I see my spinning cursor. Is this normal???? | 08:21 |
| starpwnage | does anyone here know basic php that can look over my small script and tell me what i did wrong? It is probally something really simple. http://pastebin.com/w90rCsry | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: what video chip? | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | starpwnage: have you asked in #php | 08:23 |
| starpwnage | my codw works, just it doesnt redirect if successful (last 2 lins of code) | 08:23 |
| patson | here's a funny problem - if I start Clementine up normally or in the console, then try to quit it, it hangs, eating upp all the CPU time on one core. However, it works just the way it should if I run it through GDB or Strace | 08:23 |
| Killeur | tchat français | 08:23 |
| patson | any ideas? | 08:23 |
| AndChat | Right now the line it's stuck on is "[ 1026.040030] CR2: 0000000000000028" | 08:24 |
| starpwnage | #php says i need n invite | 08:24 |

| AndChat | ActionParsnip: I'm cluelessperson, I was talking to you yesterday. :p. I'm struggling with my ubuntu install. | 08:25 |
| tularis | i think the chipset is: Intel GMA HD Gfx 3000, Intel Core i3-2357M ULV Processor (1.3GHz, 3MB L2, 1333MHz DDR3) | 08:25 |
| AndChat | Starpwnage, do ##php | 08:26 |
| tularis | ActionParsnip: and i installed a driver for it yesterday | 08:26 |
| AndChat | Starpwnage: I'll look at your script. | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: add the boot option: nomodeset may help | 08:26 |
| starpwnage | ok thanks, its ##php :) | 08:26 |
| tularis | nomodset Oo? | 08:27 |

| dr_willis | !nomodeset | tularis | 08:28 |
| ubottu | tularis: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 08:28 |

| htlm | to install AndChat from a usb ? is a bit slower ... it depends on the slot you put it in which determines the speed you're going at..version anyway... and 11.04? LOL in my opinion that's just asking for trouble....I just don't like that the version number anyways there's too many problems its way too but you to be considered stable | 08:34 |
| martjan | i do this with a double coursor mouse, for instance... | 08:34 |
| martjan | is it possible, if you know? | 08:34 |
| martjan | thx! | 08:34 |
| AndChat | Html, it hasn't changed for over 10 minutes. | 08:36 |

| dr_willis | I thought vino was built into gnome.. xfce uses it also? | 08:47 |

| ActionParsnip | Zepretender: you don't make it in root, you use your user. | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Zepretender: run: pcmanfm ~/.config/autostart then right click in the folder and select to make a new launcher, make it launch the app and then when you login it will be ran | 08:50 |
| htlm | AndChat well I can still... loll and its free... for you and in volunteered time and effort and all but the Chanel operators... | 08:50 |
| Zepretender | ActionParsnip no, I wantedt to say "0on the root of filesystem" ? where is ~/ ??? | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Zepretender: ~ is your home folder | 08:51 |
| dr_willis | ~ = a shortcut for /home/yourusername | 08:51 |
| htlm | AndChat u still there | 08:51 |
| Zepretender | Ok | 08:51 |
| Zepretender | I need to install PCMAn | 08:51 |
| AndChat | I'm complaining that it's been talen from working beautifully to being useless and noninstallable. | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Zepretender: I only used that because I thought taht was the default file browser | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Zepretender: use whatever the default file browser in xubuntu is | 08:52 |
| jigal | hello my laptop everytime starts up in low graphics mode. | 08:52 |

| htlm | how are you talking to me ? | 08:53 |

| kirior | hi all, my problem is that i cannot change volume for my sound card. i can see the icon of a speaker but cannot change the values, but i can do so in media player. how can i fix the issue and be able to change it back from the top right hand-side panel | 08:55 |
| AndChat | Jigal, update/install the correct drivers to allow your software to drive your hardware correctly | 08:55 |
| tularis | So I tryed to add nomodset but i still have the black screen when i boot, my graphic chipset is Intel GMA HD Gfx 3000, Intel Core i3-2357M ULV Processor (1.3GHz, 3MB L2, 1333MHz DDR3) on a lenovo x121e | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | kirior: can you do it in alsamixer | 08:56 |
| htlm | tell me on every one what u are doing with them... what's on them... dual boot ? | 08:56 |
| Zepretender | ActionParsnip I installed Vino with Ubuntu Software... it doesn't appaer in XFCE. I don't know how to create a symlink in the directory i've created | 08:56 |
| salvatore | i installed ubuntu with wubi and keep windows on same partition... | 08:56 |
| salvatore | i dont know if this is a good practice | 08:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Zepretender: as I said, if you made the launcher in the file browser, you don't need the link. The launcher will be ran at boot and run the command | 08:57 |
| llutz | htlm: stop asking nonsense questions/posting random comments | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | salvatore: should be fine | 08:57 |
| AndChat | Salvador: Did you have to create a new ubuntu partition? | 08:57 |
| salvatore | no i didn't | 08:57 |
| salvatore | i went to ubuntu web site | 08:57 |
| salvatore | and choosed the third choice: run it with windows | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | Ive seen way to many issues with Wubi from being in here. :) I would not reccomend using wubi. | 08:58 |
| kirior | ActionParsnip, how do i start it? i found it on my sile system but when trying to open got error message. | 08:58 |
| Zepretender | ActionParsnip I don't know if I made the launcher... I don't know what is it :) | 08:58 |
| htlm | llutz.. I stop that a while ago... IM trying to help this guy out but his not giving much to work with | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Zepretender: right click in the folder, can you make a launcher frmo that menu? | 08:58 |
| AndChat | Well, it seems the newest version of ubun is crap. ;_; sorry. | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | AndChat: why apologise for your own opinion, thats pretty poor | 08:59 |
| tularis | >< | 08:59 |
| AndChat | I'm off to download ubuntu 10 | 08:59 |
| ares_ | ActionParsnip: That alsa drivers that you recommended to install now installed so i need to restart computer or just log out and log in ? | 08:59 |

| tularis | if nomodeset does not work can i try to remove the graphic drivers via shell ? | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Zepretender: what is the command you want to run? | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tularis: you can blacklist the driver to force it to use the vesa driver | 09:01 |

| ActionParsnip | tularis: If you blacklist it, it won't load | 09:22 |
| zT | CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final) | 09:22 |
| popey | zT: then you'll probably not be wanting #ubuntu then | 09:22 |

| dr_willis | pythonsnake: yes - it can work with kde. | 09:23 |
| stu-2 | thats discouraging' | 09:24 |

| tularis | i just checked modprobe.d folder | 09:24 |
| dr_willis | pythonsnake: no idea. check thepackage manager for ubuntu one. | 09:24 |
| dr_willis | pythonsnake: there might be one just for kde.. or the gnome version should work also | 09:24 |
| stu-2 | i felt browbeaten into doing it and personally dislike 11.04 intensley | 09:24 |
| tularis | my_blacklist.conf does not exist, which means i don't have a clue to know my driver name | 09:25 |
| popey | stu-2: you can login to classic desktop if you prefer it, in 11.04 | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | stu-2: you may want togive a bit more detail as to what you are trying todo. | 09:25 |
| tularis | the ideal would be to comment a module that is loaded | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | 'upgrade' can be taken several differnt ways. :) | 09:25 |

| nmvictor | how do have my menus retained in their applications and not show up in the global menu in Unity | 09:29 |
| pythonsnake | also, where can I find unity panel applets(if there are some) | 09:29 |
| nmvictor | pythonsnake: none i have heard off, unity makes most of us sick. | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | nmvictor: thers ways to disable the global menu, either totally. or per-app basis. I saw a guide on it at the webupd8 blog site. | 09:30 |
| pythonsnake | sick ? you meant it sucks ? nmvictor | 09:30 |

| tularis | Dookie: yes it's possible | 09:33 |
| nmvictor | dr_willis: i am reading the guide, i have this command APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1 gedit to have the menu show in both Unity panel and the application. However, the command simply launches gedit, my menu is still in unity panel. | 09:33 |
| Dookie | tularis: kek thx | 09:33 |
| tularis | Dookies: you need to find on internet a software to read ext partitions on windows | 09:33 |
| tularis | Dookie: and install a package that can read ntfs from linux | 09:34 |
| Dookie | or get rid of the evil windows alltogether | 09:34 |
| pythonsnake | apt-get install kubuntu-desktop && apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop would bring me from ubuntu to kubuntu right ? | 09:34 |
| nmvictor | If Unity developers want fans, let them work on making the unity panel removable or customizable, i.e able to take some applets. | 09:34 |
| tularis | or you can use fat32, but no more than 4 gig for a file | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | nmvictor: i tend to just remove global menu totally. | 09:34 |

| dr_willis | Dookie: with a wubi install the windows drive is mounted to the some /host or other directory in / (i forget the name) you can copy files to there. and they will be on the windows C: i belive. | 09:36 |
| dr_willis | Dookie: windows accessing the wubi 'hard drive file' may be a little harder to do. | 09:36 |
| tularis | i got an intel graphic chipset, i installed by mistake some graphic driver, now i get a blackscreen, i tryed to add nomodeset to grub option boot, and now i'm trying to get the name of the driver I install to blacklist it | 09:37 |
| Dookie | dr_willis: wubi install is the one that behaves like a program under windows? | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | Dookie: yes. | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | !wubi | Dookie | 09:37 |
| ubottu | Dookie: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe | 09:37 |
| tularis | i tryed lshw -C display, but i got no information on the driver | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | Dookie: i dont reccomend Wubi. | 09:37 |
| benoliver999 | Using the Ubuntu installer off a USB, I want to place /home on a different drive. | 09:37 |
| nmvictor | dr_willis: i think the global menu works best when the app window is in fullscreen, then when the window is unmaximized, the user can do with the menu in the application which is more nearer in that case. | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | tularis: that would just show your hardware. | 09:37 |
| Dookie | dr_willis: I don't think I have it that way | 09:38 |
| benoliver999 | I don't need to keep my old stuff. | 09:38 |
| nmvictor | dr_willis: totally my opinion. | 09:38 |
| tularis | how can I find the driver I installed ? | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | nmvictor: i fullscreen eveyrthing anyway these days. :) | 09:38 |
| nmvictor | dr_willis: :) | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | tularis: You did look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to see what driver X is set to use? | 09:38 |
| tularis | Or maybe you have another idea, such as uninstall it, or >> | 09:38 |
| tularis | dr_willis: OH let me check | 09:39 |
| pythonsnake | KDE is so customizable ! | 09:39 |
| benoliver999 | I think I've got it, but I'm just checking - do I select the drive/parittion then put '/home' in the 'mount point' box? | 09:39 |
| dr_willis | tularis: about the only drivers you may have installed would be the fglrx, or nvidia drivers. you could just tell apt-get to remove them. and see if they are there to remove. | 09:39 |
| * nmvictor hoping over to #ubuntu+1 | 09:39 | |

| tularis | dr_willis: i can try that to :P | 09:41 |
| dr_willis | as far as i know. Installing the nvidia drivers or fglrx shouldent break the system on an intel gpu machine. Unless the xorg.conf is messed up. | 09:41 |

| dr_willis | pythonsnake: that wont remove much of anything | 09:43 |

| benoliver999 | antiphysics: USB is about it I'm afraid - you need something independant from the main hardware. | 09:45 |

| Squarism | ...i know NAS | 09:46 |

| benoliver999 | alexfpms: Then you might have to go into the router settings and change the channel. That command I just gave you also gives the channel. | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Squarism: headless means no monitor | 09:46 |
| Squarism | aha | 09:46 |
| benoliver999 | alexfpms: I can't guarantee it's the solution, but it's worked for me in the past - my family got online OK, mine dd not. Changed the router channel an hey presto. | 09:47 |
| alexfpms | benoliver999, It's a shared network, I've no access to the settings :( | 09:47 |
| benoliver999 | alexfpms: That sucks. Tell which SSID you want to connect to then paste the output of sudo iwlist scan | 09:48 |

| alexfpms | benoliver999, yup, I always use wicd, but when I started having troubles, I moved back to network manager | 09:58 |
| benoliver999 | alexfpms, then I'm all out of ideas I'm afraid. You can remove individual networks from network-manager in the 'edit connections' dialog. | 09:59 |
| alexfpms | benoliver999, I already tried that... thanks anyway for your time :) | 10:00 |
| htlm | alexfpms ..umm do you get sometime it kicks you off line ? or says its connected but its not... or take very lony time to connect? if so im having all these.... but never came across someone thats using it to ask em | 10:01 |
| benoliver999 | Anyone else know how to help alexfpms with this one? Why can't he connect to this network: http://pastebin.com/tMkuUHfD ? | 10:01 |

| nmvictor | is it possible to remove unity dash, i think it looks ugly especially with the windows on the backgound. Besides, i bet gnome-do or synapse are sufficient for lauching or traversing my system dirs for files. so is their a command to kiss unity dash goodbye!? | 10:09 |
| pythonsnake | I have encrypted my home at instalation. will it still encrypted if i remove ubuntu-desktop ? | 10:09 |

| patr|ck | hello. how can i change the number of workspaces on Ubuntu 11.04.? | 10:10 |
| htlm | alexfpms its seem to do that with me with the ekyring and router password... make sure you keep the app apart from each other them dont seem to play nice... and it may be that theyre just fighting over the same stuff.. so fix that | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | pythonsnake: its a hollow metapackage so uninstalling it will do nothing | 10:10 |
| pythonsnake | ActionParsnip: nothing ? o0 | 10:11 |
| pythonsnake | ActionParsnip: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE doesn't think so | 10:11 |
| alexfpms | htlm, how to fix it? | 10:11 |
| htlm | alexfpms dont use it with anything else ... or just uninstall... | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | pythonsnake: yes, it may stop gnome stuff being installed later, otherwise nothing | 10:12 |
| pythonsnake | ActionParsnip: so how to ubuntu->kubuntu | 10:12 |
| alexfpms | htlm, excuse me, I'm a bit lost... uninstall what exactly? | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | pythonsnake: i gave you the '!purekde' factoid earlier | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | !purekde | pythonsnake | 10:14 |
| ubottu | pythonsnake: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 10:14 |
| pythonsnake | dr_willis: ActionParsnip told me it won't uninstall ubuntu... | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package. it just pulls in other packages.. removeingit will not remove the other packages. | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | it WONT uninstall anything. its a metapackage... | 10:14 |
| htlm | alexfpms mm theres alot that can be said... just where to start... when i get the error ... put in password ...... here.. to the router ...rrr is when i started up or havent been on /active | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | its used to pull in stuff. :) | 10:15 |
| pythonsnake | I don't get it :/ | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | its a shortcut to intall lots of other pacakges... | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | not to remove them | 10:15 |
| bazhang | pythonsnake, read the links yet? | 10:15 |
| pythonsnake | How to delete/get rid of Ubuntu ? | 10:15 |
| pythonsnake | bazhang: yes | 10:16 |
| bazhang | pythonsnake, read the links, then you would not keep repeating that same question | 10:16 |
| nmvictor | Unity, its great. I only wish it was customizable. i.e the dash removable, the laucher completely hidden and the panel removable.customizable. Ooh, did i just describe gnome-classic. sure, thats what most users want. Unity is a big shame for canonical, they gotta revise their homework and give this open source community an open and workable UI. Unity is so much a closed in terms of user customization | 10:16 |
| htlm | alexfpms though it look promising and has a bunch of other feature standard that you have to dig around in the operating system just again but the app has it right here in front you... so im still trying to debug it | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | aptitude does things a little differntly then apt-get also. :) thats the 'imporntant bit' in the docs. | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: Install xfce4 and use xfce, it looks and smells lke gnome2 | 10:17 |
| * nmvictor is swicthing to gnome3-shell. | 10:17 | |
| bazhang | nmvictor, file a wishlist bug then, this is not really the place for that | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: does that answer your obfuscated question | 10:17 |
| nmvictor | ActionParsnip: no | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | My launcher is hidden.... | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | :) | 10:18 |
| htlm | nmvictor right ! | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | as for the panel.. its hidden also.. | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: what is your question then please | 10:18 |
| nmvictor | does that answer your obfuscated question, ActionParsnip ? | 10:18 |
| nmvictor | ActionParsnip: i need Unity dash out | 10:18 |
| bazhang | nmvictor, lets move on if you just wish to criticize unity | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: it wasn't obfuscated, it was direect and plain. Try using words correctly and you will look less foolish | 10:18 |
| nmvictor | bazhang: no, its a quastion | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | Purekde wiki page. needs updated. :) its getting behine. | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | behind. | 10:19 |
| htlm | bazhang if it the groups support i know of no other place | 10:19 |
| nmvictor | bazhang: i'll paraphrase, is it possible to do away with unity dash*?* | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: there is also a ppa with an unsupported fork of gnome2 called 'mate' | 10:19 |
| bazhang | nmvictor, no | 10:19 |
| bazhang | htlm, chit chat #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:20 |
| nmvictor | ActionParsnip: Did you say i look more foolish, thats clever of you. | 10:20 |
| nmvictor | bazhang: that was a cool answer | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: using words incorrectly in order to send some jkind of attitude, will make you look worse. That's all | 10:21 |
| nmvictor | ActionParsnip: YOU WIN | 10:21 |
| broon_sparrow | Hi. I'm trying to set up a LAMP server on my desktop computer to learn php. I'm following this http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server but when I navigate to /var/www/test.php it just keeps opening more firefox tabs - what have i done wrong, or is there a better guide to follow? | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: its not a case of winning, i just want to convey what I mean so that you get it :) | 10:21 |
| nmvictor | ActionParsnip: i get the message, happy now? | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: Gnome based ubuntu is using dash+unity etc by default, if you disike it then simply change DE | 10:22 |
| htlm | well thats one... but a place where EVER one is a voter and even rights ... a place to say what you like to see in ubuntu ...is there a place | 10:22 |
| nmvictor | ActionParsnip: Or i could install gnome3-shell, which is happening right now. | 10:23 |
| bazhang | htlm, brainstorm | 10:23 |

| warfaren | hi | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | hi Excus | 10:25 |
| nmvictor | ActionParsnip: coz im dissappointed in Unity, I prefer GTK which is why I have to use Gnome, yet Unity lets me down. | 10:25 |
| nmvictor | Excus: hi | 10:26 |
| pythonsnake | Cool! | 10:26 |
| htlm | bazhang wooow this is new ... thank!you | 10:26 |

| ActionParsnip | pythonsnake: I use guake in gnome/lxde and yakuake in kde. yakuake rocks | 10:27 |
| Mokilok | In regards to the whole KDE vs Gnome and Unity war, Aren't they just for different purposes? It seems that Gnome / Unity is for beginners whilst KDE offers more advanced functionality? I'm fairly new to linux so would you say that is accurate? | 10:28 |
| pythonsnake | ActionParsnip: install/testing it :) | 10:28 |
| bazhang | Mokilok, way offtopic for here | 10:28 |

| dr_willis | classic is supposed to go away in the next release 11.10 also. :) | 10:45 |
| Ibis | Unity doesn't use metacity at all, right? | 10:45 |
| htlm | yeaaaa! ..p unity | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | Ibis: unity 2d does. | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | i think that may be geting changed in 11.10 also however. | 10:46 |
| htlm | ? means what | 10:46 |
| Ibis | dr_willis: So far, it seems as though Unity 2d is affecting the settings of unity. Whenever I try to login to Unity, I'm pushed into unity-2d instead. | 10:47 |
| dr_willis | Ibis: they have differnt settings. but if unity3d does not have the right 3d drivers to use. it couldbe falling back to 2d. | 10:47 |

| Ibis | dr_willis: Before I broke my 11.04 install, I was able to get into unity 3d. | 10:48 |

| dr_willis | removeing is a bit harder then installing.. :) | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | its just a annoyance of how the pacakge manager system works. | 10:54 |

| digitalspark | how to use avant navigator without unity interface??? | 10:54 |
| htlm | pythonsnake but be warned that when I did it didn't work out of the box for me ... and a few problems ..... but you got a better PC then I do .. so it might just work... | 10:54 |
| dr_willis | digitalspark: personally i just set the unity panel very small and to auto hide. then use awn. | 10:55 |
| dr_willis | digitalspark: you could make a custom gdm session to run what window manager you want and awn. | 10:55 |
| Ibis | dr_willis: I'm going to be right back. Thanks for the suggestion. | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | digitalspark: log into gnome classic session, run compiz but disable Unity plugin | 10:57 |

| wangwj | w | 10:58 |
| dr_willis | htlm: i just hide thepanel and run awn.. thats it. | 10:58 |

| htlm | ohhhh.. I forgot about that... and is that why Linux has a hard time getting junk ? | 11:02 |
| glitchd | can anyone tell me how i could extend or resize a fat32 partition from linux? | 11:03 |
| dr_willis | htlm: hard time geting junk... is vague... | 11:04 |
| dr_willis | glitchd: gparted is a gui tool that can do that. | 11:04 |
| htlm | gparting.. mm not sure how to spell | 11:04 |
| llutz | agus_sintang_: nano ~/.bashrc, remove that line, save+quit. then "unset http_proxy" or just re-login | 11:04 |
| glitchd | dr_willis, how would i install gparted in ubuntu 10.04? | 11:04 |
| glitchd | dr_willis, cant seem to find a deb package for it | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | glitchd: witht he package manager tools. if its not allready installed. | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install gparted | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | no need to 'find a deb' | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | glitchd: possibly in gparted in liveCD | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | using gparted from a live-cd is often the best way. Theres also the specilized gparted live cd. thats worth getting. | 11:05 |
| glitchd | dr_willis, ActionParsnip laugh at me, i didnt even check to see if gparted was already installed...dundundun | 11:06 |
| glitchd | dr_willis, ActionParsnip, it is | 11:06 |
| htlm | dr_willis like viruses spyware and a bunch of stuff like that | 11:06 |
| glitchd | dr_willis, ActionParsnip, do any of you know if its possible to extend or resize a fat32 partition without losing data on it already? | 11:06 |

| ubottu | agus_sintang_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | glitchd: backup your data, resize partition. restore any data that breaks | 11:11 |

| dr_willis | agus_sintang_: make a script that sets/unsets that variable as needed. | 11:19 |
| htlm | it would be nice to know how to make my own cloud | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | htlm: sure, you can use sshfs | 11:19 |
| dr_willis | agus_sintang_: its just adding a line to the end of the .bashrc which runs when you start up a shell/login/app. | 11:19 |
| htlm | I can't find the it | 11:19 |
| htlm | huh what's that ? | 11:20 |
| dr_willis | sshfs is handy. | 11:20 |
| dr_willis | remote ssh server shows up as a local directory. :) | 11:20 |
| dr_willis | ssh is worth learning very well. | 11:20 |
| htlm | sshfs? | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | htlm: its part of openssh-server | 11:20 |

| dr_willis | its a fuse addon. | 11:21 |
| htlm | so whats it do | 11:21 |
| agus_sintang_ | dr_willis : when i remove the line, i still can't open another website except www.its.ac.id | 11:21 |
| dr_willis | remote ssh server shows up as a local directory. :) <-------------- htlm | 11:21 |
| dr_willis | agus_sintang_: remove line. log out/ back in... | 11:22 |
| htlm | ash man I Sony know a thing about ssh | 11:23 |

| dr_willis | Im not sure thats the proper way to set the http_proxy really agus_sintang_ there may be a better way. | 11:23 |
| dr_willis | agus_sintang_: i said LOG OUT | 11:23 |
| dr_willis | not reboot. :) | 11:23 |
| Ibis | dr_willis: Lol, I'll just wait to see if there is going to be updates for an experimental driver. xD Thanks again. | 11:24 |

| htlm | ionite so what Dodd you needed help with? | 13:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | All the snakes are here. | 13:28 |
| Benkinooby | htlm, it's not about how to do it... i am rather asking for experience. my main point is that i'd go for 10.04 because it's LTS and well tested. on the other hand natty has all the nice new stuff, but i don't know if that's worth the risk. the efforts for installing seem to be the same for both | 13:28 |
| BluesKaj | hi pythonsnake , Sidewinder1 | 13:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | Python1320, 'Tis here. :D | 13:29 |
| ionite | htlm: why is ubuntu so laggy in my netbook? | 13:29 |
| domedagen | ionite: I'm unable to solve this. Some people on the internet say it's ATI related, others HDD. But if you say that it only happened in Untity you could try temporarly booting up with Gnome | 13:29 |
| lotuspsychje | ionite: what kinda netbook? | 13:29 |

| ikonia | hans01: ok, so what can we help you with ? | 13:34 |
| lotuspsychje | domedagen: what default Os came with it? | 13:34 |
| hans01 | ikonia: my prob not solved in ubuntu+01 | 13:34 |
| ikonia | hans01: so why do you keep asking in here after you 've been told not to | 13:34 |
| hans01 | ikonia: noreply | 13:34 |
| domedagen | lotuspsychje: He said fresh install of Ubuntu from KDE distro | 13:34 |
| ikonia | hans01: so wait for a reply. | 13:34 |
| ikonia | hans01: stop asking in here, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for 11.10 discussion as you've been told. | 13:34 |
| Sidewinder1 | BluesKaj, Just a "WAG", on my part.. | 13:34 |
| hans01 | ikonia: ohk sorry | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | Sidewinder1, strange thing is I have some flv files that play ok on dragonplaye | 13:34 |
| lotuspsychje | domedagen: i fixxed my netbook, enabling BIOS network boot to bypass all lags/freezes | 13:35 |
| domedagen | lotuspsychje: If he was using AMD ATI then maybe ubuntu picked worse driver from him my theory was | 13:35 |
| htlm | Benkinooby I would go for 10.04 I would go with 10.04 because of this long term support that is near guaranteed and for him to experience this out FIRSt because all the other versions take it roots from this version.. and since he's a mac user or windows user the makers made it so it's easier transition first,if you wanted to try sending out a new but you but susana virtualbox first then try that out if you messes up the you don't have to | 13:35 |
| rajmahendra | is there anyone using 11.10 on there machine.. just curious... i already have 11.4 ... to do or not to do upgrade now :) | 13:35 |
| domedagen | lotuspsychje: Seems we lost him | 13:35 |

| Stanley00 | rajmahendra: dont if you use 11.04 for youe work :) | 13:36 |
| domedagen | lotuspsychje: #ubuntu is depressing | 13:36 |
| lotuspsychje | domedagen: also ati works fine on my netbook | 13:36 |
| jiohdi | rajmahendra, if what you have does what you want and what is coming is not much better... better to wait till some of the bugs are found and fixed | 13:36 |
| domedagen | lotuspsychje: By default? | 13:37 |
| rajmahendra | :) no its just home use only :) | 13:37 |
| jiohdi | rajmahendra, fight that desire to have the newest only because it is the newest :) | 13:37 |
| htlm | 10.04 has a lot of nice features to it,customizing it was keepin busy till he's old Benkinooby | 13:37 |
| lotuspsychje | domedagen: yes after connecting wlan before install | 13:37 |
| lotuspsychje | domedagen: lol depressing as in not being to help? | 13:38 |
| Benkinooby | htlm, i don't understand that "...,if you wanted to try sending out a new but you but susana virtualbox first then try that out if you messes up the you don't have to" | 13:38 |
| lotuspsychje | wb ionite | 13:38 |
| Benkinooby | htlm, but i think, as you are enforcing 10.04 too, i'll recommend him 10.04 | 13:38 |
| ionite | lotuspsychje: sorry it was so lag that i gotta restart | 13:39 |
| domedagen | lotuspsychje: Maybe he didn't and thats why it fails him. | 13:39 |
| Stanley00 | rajmahendra: I think you should wait, oneiric crashes randomly now, if you can live with crash, you can update ;0 | 13:39 |
| domedagen | ionite: Did you log into ubuntu Classic? | 13:39 |

| ionite | domedagen: how do i log into ubuntu classic? | 13:40 |
| htlm | Benkinooby ok... just remember to install virtualbox so he can add on or play with other distributions and get some practice in how to use lyrics without having to worry about breaking is expensive machine | 13:40 |
| lotuspsychje | ionite: did you install ubuntu enabling wlan before install? | 13:40 |

| Benkinooby | bast=past | 13:42 |
| ionite | lotuspsychje: i don't get what u mean. | 13:42 |
| ionite | domedagen: what could be the possible reasons for the delay to launch applications? i was previously using KDE and it was lightning fast. | 13:44 |
| === jnix is now known as jnix_detached | ||
| domedagen | ionite: My theory is that when you installed Ubuntu, you got rid of the drivers that worked better with your GPU and you have some OS alternative now | 13:45 |
| === erkan^2 is now known as ghost | ||
| domedagen | ionite: This could be tested if you logged in to the no effect ubuntu. If you still have delay then its not your GPU | 13:46 |
| === jnix_detached is now known as jnix | ||
| === ghost is now known as erkan^ | ||
| ionite | domedagen: drivers? meaning? | 13:46 |
| ionite | lotuspsychje: u there? | 13:46 |
| htlm | Benkinooby kinda but I did get a lot of patches in a lot of people worked up on it... and it help if you do the hard stuff for him he can get a vlc to work then a like wise apps and a new found passion for it ... oh and tell him Unix and bash are in Mac and Linux alike | 13:47 |
| domedagen | ionite: Software needed for your hw to run perfectly. | 13:47 |
| htlm | the passion will take care of itself later on for the hard stuff you're just trying to interduce and it's like a first date | 13:48 |
| ionite | domedagen: so what should i do? | 13:48 |
| domedagen | ionite: I would like you to try log in with ubuntu Classic no effects | 13:49 |
| domedagen | Then return here with results | 13:49 |
| domedagen | ionite: k? | 13:49 |
| htlm | domedagen did you get that video ? | 13:49 |
| ionite | domedagen: even opening a simple calculator takes a 2-3 second delay | 13:50 |
| domedagen | htlm: I did but havent watched yet | 13:50 |
| htlm | ionite your on ddr1 you know this right? | 13:50 |
| htlm | then watch I T | 13:51 |
| ionite | htlm: i don't get what u mean? | 13:51 |
| domedagen | htlm: That exaclty what I told him | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ionite: is your RAM healthy? | 13:51 |
| ionite | ActionParsnip: it's 2gb. i think so? | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ionite: are the drives healthy, use fsck and the tool from the ultimate boot cd | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ionite: test your RAM using memtest in grubv | 13:52 |
| htlm | no it is 1gb is what you showed me on the link | 13:52 |
| ionite | htlm: the link is 1gb but i upgraded it to 2gb | 13:53 |
| ionite | ActionParsnip: how do i test? | 13:53 |
| OerHeks | 2-3 second delay opening calculator is normal, imho | 13:53 |
| htlm | if you test your waiting about under somewhere an hour | 13:53 |
| CluelessPerson | htlm, you're still here? | 13:53 |
| htlm | hi | 13:54 |
| domedagen | ionite: lotuspsychje said he had similar problem until he installed correct drivers, try log in to ubuntu classic no effects | 13:54 |
| htlm | how am I talking to | 13:54 |
| CluelessPerson | htlm, Well, first, a number of things. Natty 64's installation is screwy, or the screen ttime out is screwing up its' install, I'm not sure. | 13:54 |
| ionite | domedagen: ok. | 13:54 |
| CluelessPerson | htlm, Also, the usb creation utility from ubuntu.com on Windows 7 will not work because apparently windows 7 truncates filename/path lengths of over 64 characters. | 13:55 |
| CluelessPerson | do the spaces between options in fstab matter? | 13:55 |
| CluelessPerson | sorry, does the amount of space between options in fstab matter? | 13:55 |
| ikonia | CluelessPerson: can you give me an example | 13:55 |
| ikonia | CluelessPerson: the options are tab/space seperated | 13:56 |
| Lantizia | !op rosalinda is PM'ing new arrivals for sex cams | 13:56 |
| ikonia | again, no problem | 13:56 |
| CluelessPerson | ramfs /media/ramdisk ramfs defaults,size=512m 0 0 | 13:56 |
| CluelessPerson | ikonia, so I can get away with one space between those options? | 13:56 |
| Stanley00 | CluelessPerson: add as much as you wish | 13:57 |
| CluelessPerson | ikonia, I screwed up my fstab earlier and don't want to repeat, although this is a different thing | 13:57 |
| ikonia | CluelessPerson: that looks fine, the spaces are needed | 13:57 |
| domedagen | Lantizia: Problem :)? | 13:57 |
| CluelessPerson | ikonia, I figured, just being careul, thanks. | 13:57 |
| ikonia | CluelessPerson: no harm in that at al | 13:57 |
| Lantizia | domedagen, not now he/she has been booted | 13:57 |

| htlm | CluelessPerson and I talk to you before | 13:58 |
| domedagen | ionite: There is the easy but stupid way and the smart way | 13:58 |
| CluelessPerson | htlm, I was on my android before. :p | 13:58 |
| lotuspsychje | ionite: keep using classic, or find fast drivers for ati card | 13:58 |
| domedagen | ionite: Which one would ypu like to try? | 13:59 |
| CluelessPerson | htlm, Now My netbook is installed and configured for dual boot | 13:59 |

| myrmidette | ActionParsnip, could you explain how to do it w/ imagemagick? | 14:10 |

| ActionParsnip | myrmidette: me neither | 14:10 |
| ionite | lotuspsychje: sorry i'm a ubuntu noob. please guide me. | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | myrmidette: just run: identify imagefilename | 14:11 |
| htlm | lotuspsychje I was thinking you did not set that up right did you do that | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | myrmidette: e.g: identify swirl.jpg | 14:11 |
| domedagen | ionite: Additional drivers | 14:11 |
| CluelessPerson | htlm, sorry, I wasn't watching, what? | 14:11 |

| japro | it's just stuck at the splash screen with the five dots | 14:14 |
| Fuchs | japro: hold shift while starting the machine | 14:14 |
| rumpe1 | japro, yes... add "recovery" to the kernel line in grub | 14:14 |
| domedagen | ionite: That's unfortunate, can you confirm your using ATI though? | 14:15 |
| Fuchs | that should show you GRUB, where you can choose the recovery option | 14:15 |
| Stanley00 | japro: no, press shift when booting to see grub menu | 14:15 |
| ionite | domedagen: how do i check? | 14:15 |
| qtx | japro well a reboot can be done like Cttl+Alt+print screen+b | 14:15 |
| myrmidette | ok, general photography question: do jpg images store the camera settings they were taken with? | 14:15 |
| myrmidette | if not, what filetypes do? | 14:15 |
| Stanley00 | myrmidette: maybe | 14:16 |
| htlm | neither | 14:16 |
| qtx | ionite check what? | 14:16 |
| myrmidette | Stanley00, ? | 14:16 |
| domedagen | ionite: Since its not an PCI, good question | 14:16 |
| ionite | qtx: check if my gpu is ati | 14:16 |
| japro | ubuntu is the only os on the system, so it doesn't go throug a grub screen | 14:16 |
| Gentoo64 | myrmidette, no idea. but i would use png over jpeg anyway | 14:16 |
| qtx | lshw | 14:16 |
| htlm | only what's left over by 8 megapixel camera is going to take an 8 megapixel picture | 14:16 |
| qtx | ionite lshw will list all the hardware on your system | 14:17 |
| htlm | Gentoo64 why ? | 14:17 |
| Stanley00 | myrmidette: it store in jpg EXIF info | 14:17 |
| Gentoo64 | htlm, because its lossless | 14:17 |
| Gentoo64 | ionite, do glxinfo | grep OpenGL | 14:18 |

| ionite | Gentoo64: i tried to install compiz manager but i got this error Package dependencies cannot be resolved | 14:21 |
| qtx | ionite kk one sec. | 14:21 |
| Gentoo64 | ionite, dont ask me... lol :( | 14:22 |

| Gentoo64 | htlm, with jpeg its lossy as in the quality degrades, with png its lossless and compressed (like a flac file) so you get full quality | 14:22 |
| ionite | domedagen: so what should i do next? | 14:23 |
| qtx | ionite you are not using a ATI you are using N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller | 14:23 |
| Gentoo64 | ionite, i dont think the intel gpu has anything to do with that compiz error | 14:24 |
| ionite | qtx: there's some screen delays and i feel so helpless. | 14:24 |
| ionite | qtx: how should i go about? | 14:24 |
| japro | Sidewinder1, it doesn't react to anything :-( i don't get it, i have no idea what changed | 14:24 |
| lotuspsychje | ionite: didnt you say u had ati card in pciE? | 14:25 |
| qtx | ionite I would think that is not the worlds fastest chip. I would not use things like compiz etc | 14:25 |
| ionite | lotuspsychje: mine is interaged n10 gpu | 14:25 |
| domedagen | ionite: hmm Since it's an Intel Atom I suppose you're not using ATI graphics. | 14:25 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 14:25 |
| myrmidette | ty Stanley00 and ActionParsnip | 14:25 |
| qtx | ionite you can see more if you do this sudo lshw | grep display | 14:25 |
| ionite | qtx: that's why i need to install compiz manager to disable some settings but i keep getting this error: Package dependencies cannot be resolved | 14:26 |
| japro | do i have to press shift at som specific point? | 14:26 |
| lotuspsychje | ionite: so its like qtx says better no compiz on intel card | 14:26 |
| Sidewinder1 | qtx, qtx = qxt ? Just curious.. :) | 14:26 |
| japro | ti seems to get stuck at the "ubuntu" screen no matter what i do | 14:27 |
| qtx | Sidewinder1, the one and many! | 14:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | Legion! | 14:27 |
| qtx | =) | 14:27 |
| ionite | lotuspsychje: so how do i disable the compiz? | 14:27 |
| domedagen | ionite: How did your last KDE desktop look? Are you sure you can have a lot of desktop effects? | 14:27 |
| lotuspsychje | ionite: just login to ubuntu classic without compiz | 14:27 |
| qtx | System -> Pref -> Appearance and just turn off effects | 14:28 |
| lotuspsychje | ionite: or try lightweight ubuntu distro's | 14:28 |
| Gentoo64 | yea id recommend that theyl feel snappier | 14:29 |
| qtx | ionite the above was to you. Not sure what windows manager you're using. | 14:29 |
| ionite | qtx: so do i still log in as classic w/o effects? | 14:29 |
| qtx | ionite or the | 14:29 |
| htlm | japro was wrong | 14:29 |
| qtx | ionite or that. | 14:29 |
| domedagen | ionite: You can use Untiy but you have to disble some effects | 14:29 |
| japro | htlm, ? | 14:30 |
| domedagen | ionite: Until you found a good balance between apperance and speed | 14:30 |
| ionite | domedagen: how do i go about? | 14:30 |
| jackjon89 | Hi, wondering if someone can help.... it seems to be a bug and i have found a partial fix. basically gnome fails to load a theme on startup and i get the old win98 look. I have made a partial fix to add some time before running the gnome settings on startup which has fixed the launch and start bars... but my home folder still looks like the old style... please help ? | 14:30 |
| domedagen | ionite: Or you could go Gnome 3 and disable some effect | 14:30 |
| ionite | qtx: i dont see any disable appearance settings in the appearance preferences | 14:30 |
| htlm | japro did you need help | 14:31 |
| ljsoftnet | jackjon89 try a default theme, the theme that goes with ubuntu | 14:31 |
| ionite | domedagen: what are the other light weighted ubuntu alternatives that are pretty and snappy? | 14:31 |
| qtx | ionite I dont know what UI you are using but I am guessing you doint even have effects working then. What do you see in if you use the cmd top | 14:31 |
| ionite | qtx: what are the other very support ubuntu that are snappier and pretty? | 14:32 |
| japro | htlm, yes, i have a computer here that runs ubuntu only and gets stuck at the "ubuntu" screen with the five dots | 14:32 |
| japro | doesn't react to any keyboard input it seems | 14:32 |
| domedagen | ionite: xfce for really old computers but it will look as boring as anying else without effects | 14:32 |
| domedagen | ionite: Open control center | 14:33 |
| === chalist is now known as pesarkhobeee | ||
| qtx | ionite yeah but there are not Ubuntu =) Mint has a Ubuntu type OS. Much faster in the UI | 14:33 |
| jackjon89 | hi ljsoftnet, the theme is the standard 'Ambiance' theme, i haven't changed it... gnome just stopped loading the theme suddenly. I found a partial fix here : http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/fix-ubuntu-linux-mint-theme-changing-to.html | 14:33 |
| Anubis | japro, have you tried CTRL + ALT + F1 to F5 to switch to a terminal? | 14:33 |
| ionite | qtx: is mint supported in this channel? | 14:33 |
| jackjon89 | the above fix sorts the launch/start bar... but my home folder is still win98 style :( | 14:33 |
| japro | Anubis, yes | 14:33 |
| qtx | ionite well it is Ubuntu but the UI is not the same. Heard the it was the 2ed most popular *nix OS after Ubuntu | 14:33 |
| === pesarkhobeee is now known as chalist | ||
| oCean | ionite: no it is not | 14:34 |
| Anubis | japro so you get a terminal? | 14:34 |
| japro | no | 14:34 |
| japro | no reaction whatsoever | 14:34 |
| ionite | qtx: i need a good channel support because i'm such a idioit to ubuntu and i really don't wanna go back to windows anymore. | 14:34 |
| qtx | ionite no but it is Ubuntu if you look at the kernel (lots of blobs) and the repo is the same | 14:34 |
| htlm | japro how to spell about what happened did you install something | 14:34 |
| oCean | qtx, ionite that still does not make it subject of support in this channel | 14:34 |
| ionite | oCean: so are u using mint? | 14:34 |
| htlm | japro how'd this come about | 14:35 |
| oCean | ionite: no | 14:35 |
| ionite | oCean: i mean since ubuntu is unsuitable for my netbook. so what should i use? | 14:35 |
| qtx | ionite yeah I understand your dilemma. | 14:35 |
| japro | htlm, i can't tell, i guess i did install some stuff like geany, and it also updated stuff | 14:35 |
| oCean | ionite: I'm not using a netbook | 14:35 |
| ionite | qtx: since i'm so lagging here. and i don't like kde as ubuntu is better in some ways but now it's lagging which kinda upsets me. | 14:35 |
| domedagen | ionite: Did not find any effect setting with Unity but try log in to Ubuntu Classic (with effects) and see if you can find a way to tweak it | 14:36 |
| htlm | you updated so for some reason it broken the packages and its doing this | 14:36 |

| jackjon89 | can anyone help with gnome themes not loading in my home folder ? | 14:37 |

| thegladiator | Any way my other question is do we have app store where you can pay and buy softwares like in Apple | 14:43 |
| qtx | ionite I took a little shotcut david and had a look at your system. You are using a D410 Atom with a GMA that should be "OK" Your not going to get super speed | 14:43 |
| Gentoo64 | thegladiator, if you like ncurses stuff i think zakuma its called maybe yuou can on that, but itll be ugly compared to evince | 14:43 |
| thegladiator | I know the default app store for Ubuntu | 14:43 |
| lotuspsychje | !ask | ilari_ | 14:43 |
| japro | it boots up and straigt after the bios stuff i get the pink screen and it is stuck there | 14:43 |
| ubottu | ilari_: 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. :-) | 14:43 |

| gp2mv3 | japro: did you install the boot sequence ? | 14:44 |
| ionite | domedagen: lotuspsychje MonkeyDust Gentoo64 oCean qtx honestly, how do i know for my system specs if i am suitable for ubuntu or not? | 14:44 |
| thegladiator | Gentoo64, thanks would try that | 14:44 |
| ionite | domedagen: that's right!!! netbook remix has merged. so now i'm stuck. | 14:44 |
| qtx | ionite because I know about hw | 14:44 |
| gp2mv3 | ionite: lspci ? | 14:44 |
| ionite | qtx: but i upgraded my ram to 2gb | 14:44 |
| Gentoo64 | ionite, what do you mean? try xuubntu or lubuntu both are much lighter and look nice still | 14:44 |
| japro | gp2mv3, uhm, no idea. it was a entierly empty system and i just did the most standard install | 14:44 |
| gp2mv3 | japro: in alternate or liveCD ? | 14:45 |
| qtx | domedagen is a Swedish dude who likes fast gear! | 14:45 |
| === XLV_ is now known as XLV | ||
| lotuspsychje | lol | 14:45 |
| gp2mv3 | japro: because at the end of the alternate installation it ask to install the boot sequence | 14:45 |
| lotuspsychje | swedish stuff is nice | 14:45 |
| domedagen | ionite: Or at least xubuntu http://www.xubuntu.org/ | 14:45 |
| japro | i guess it's the livecd then | 14:45 |
| ionite | qtx: so what is ur suggestion? | 14:45 |
| ionite | domedagen: can't i disable somethings in compiz? | 14:46 |
| japro | cant remember, i only did stuff like configuring keyboard during installation | 14:46 |
| domedagen | ionite: Not if "no effects" doesnt help Im afraid | 14:46 |
| conntrack | anyone own a trim slice? | 14:47 |
| domedagen | qtx: Whats that all about? | 14:47 |
| qtx | ionite well you got 2GB on your system as it is. Should be enough by far. I often toss together a distro for my own use that uses 64MB only | 14:47 |
| domedagen | ionite: Avoid lubuntu though | 14:47 |
| qtx | domedagen, no you going on about what ionite and I are talking about. No big deal | 14:48 |
| KM0201 | domedagen: why is that? | 14:48 |
| KM0201 | lubuntu is awesome | 14:48 |
| ionite | domedagen: oh no... i'm so tired or changing so many environment... | 14:48 |
| KM0201 | ionite: well, if he's telling yout O 'avoid lubuntu'.. that simply shows he has no clue. | 14:48 |
| KM0201 | not saying that is your answer, your issue is clearly compiz/3D junk | 14:49 |
| KM0201 | since lxde runs w/ bare minimum effects.. it probaby would be ok. | 14:49 |
| ionite | KM0201: so how do i disable compiz when i cannot even install the compiz manager? | 14:49 |
| domedagen | ionite: xubuntu could probably be the solution | 14:49 |
| KM0201 | xubuntu or lubuntu, either would work fine.. xubuntu has become bloated IMO, fell out of favor w/ me. | 14:49 |
| domedagen | ionite: Im not familiar with low spec computers but my intuition tells me that this will work | 14:50 |
| KM0201 | ionite: did you try logging out and logging in to "Classic: No Effects" | 14:50 |
| KM0201 | that disables compiz. | 14:50 |
| ionite | KM0201: that's what i am doing now. | 14:50 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 14:50 |
| ionite | KM0201: it still feels slightly delayed compared to KDE. | 14:51 |
| htlm | ionite OK I got what you need ... xfce . is the gui u need to see the speed boost you ask for | 14:51 |
| gp2mv3 | this is the xsessions-error for my problem: http://pastebin.com/DSzhiy0q | 14:51 |
| qtx | ionite Nothing wrong with your cpu. If you want to speed things up a bit get a cheap card like a Nvidia 210G or something. Cost like 20 USD. That card uses 32nm tech and a few cuda cores that can be tapped into. | 14:51 |
| domedagen | ionite: This is what I think about you switching to lubuntu instead of xubuntu http://nooooooooooooooo.com/ | 14:51 |
| ionite | qtx: but my netbook are all integrated features. i can't just add on? | 14:51 |
| KM0201 | ionite: i dunno, i hate KDE, it always feels like my OS is running through water, so im not a fair judge, but gnome: no effects has always been fast and stable for me, lxde is very fast. | 14:51 |
| KM0201 | domedagen: do you have any basis for that, or.. just being witty? | 14:52 |
| CyborgSmurf | Is there a program equivalent to portforward on Ubuntu? | 14:52 |
| japro | i get the impression that it somehow doesn't recognize the keyboard | 14:52 |
| * Morfeus^ is away: I'm busy | 14:52 | |
| htlm | ionite no you strip down | 14:52 |
| ionite | honestly i'm not trying to have a competition here on which environment is that best or etc but i'm just frustrated with myself as i don't know which is better for me and my system. | 14:52 |
| xangua | CyborgSmurf: and what does this portforward do¿ not psychics here | 14:52 |
| KM0201 | ionite: lxde is very much for the minimalist though, if you like wild graphics, 3D effects, etc... it won't work. | 14:53 |
| oCean | !afk > Morfeus^ | 14:53 |
| ubottu | Morfeus^, please see my private message | 14:53 |
| japro | as soon as it is stuck i can't even toggle the caps lock led on the keyboard etc | 14:53 |
| pythonsnake | How can I get KDE 4.7.1 ? | 14:53 |
| KM0201 | ionite: if you can't get 3D to work, your best bet is either xubuntu or lubuntu... only reason i don't like xubuntu, is that window compositing does not work well, and made the GUI funny at times. | 14:53 |
| Morfeus^ | ubottu, sorry | 14:53 |
| ubottu | It's ok, I am only a bot so I cannot stay mad at you. For apologising to humans though, take a read of http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2009/07/20/on-apologies/ | 14:53 |
| qtx | ionite, yeah I saw that. If your not the DIY type that wants to open up the thing .... Still think that crappy little GPU should be OK. Maybe Ubuntus new UI is a hog? | 14:53 |
| xangua | pythonsnake: add the kde ppa | 14:53 |
| xangua | backport or something like that is called | 14:54 |
| KM0201 | qtx: lol, maybe? | 14:54 |
| CyborgSmurf | xangua: I need it to be able to play StarCraft on battlenet... Im not good at this so bare with me. It opens ports within a specific range. I need to add something to my router, I think... | 14:54 |
| ionite | qtx: i think so too so i'm so lost now.. | 14:54 |
| qtx | KM0201, is it? I stopped using Ubuntu at 10.10 when I first saw it. | 14:54 |
| KM0201 | unity will be the downfall of Ubuntu if they don't get it back on track. | 14:54 |
| KM0201 | qtx: it's a mess, it's why i stopped using ubuntu | 14:54 |
| qtx | ionite give Mint a try. My mother could use that. | 14:54 |
| htlm | read watch youbue about them ... IM telling u ice dint this and have it right now .. I see a 7-16% in changing a few things around and one being the gui | 14:55 |
| KM0201 | qtx: but.. i do have faith that in a few releases, unity will probably be pretty good. | 14:55 |
| KM0201 | Mint?.. gag. | 14:55 |

| KM0201 | ionite: it's stable, but mint channels are not very active (i hang out there to help new users, even though i don't use it).. | 14:56 |
| domedagen | KM0201: It actually makes perfectly good sense. They haven't tried to make it look smooth | 14:56 |

| KM0201 | since i started using linux on my server, i've gotten pretty good at command line. | 14:58 |
| qtx | ionite, Yeah they should. I mean it is the 2ed most used Linux Desktop now. Lots of Ubuntu defectors moved to Mint | 14:58 |
| * Sidewinder1 Begins his download with Kermit.. | 14:58 | |
| ikonia | irenicus09: it's a duplicate bug, work with people working on the master bug | 14:58 |
| ionite | qtx: is it better for low end netbooks like mine? what's the difference from ubuntu? | 14:58 |
| oCean | qtx, ionite Enough, this is not a discussion channel for various distributions (as I've said before), let's move back to support, ok? | 14:59 |
| ionite | qtx: what's mint support channel? i need to make sure someone canhelp me though. | 14:59 |
| oCean | !mint | ionite | 14:59 |

| ikonia | oops | 14:59 |
| ionite | oCean: i tried that channel but there's no one but me? | 14:59 |
| oCean | ionite: this channel cannot help you with that | 14:59 |
| htlm | ionite LOL herds what you stand ... debian, puppy Linux ,lubuntu ,meego ,xubuntu (stripped down a bit) | 15:00 |
| htlm | here* | 15:00 |
| ikonia | ionite: the channel is full, it's just not on freenode | 15:00 |
| ionite | oCean: yes i know i tried that channel u gave me but no one is there> | 15:00 |
| ionite | ikonia: ? | 15:00 |
| KM0201 | ikonia: it might be full, but nobody ever talks there.. thats the issue w/ it | 15:00 |
| ikonia | ionite: there IS, it's not on freenode, it's on irc.spotchat.org as the factoid says | 15:00 |
| a4 | is there a way via command line on a shortcut that i can make the program open in fullscreen? (Ubuntu 11.04.) | 15:00 |
| ikonia | KM0201: it's quite active, I'm in it | 15:00 |
| KM0201 | ikonia: so am i | 15:01 |
| domedagen | ionite: What ahppened to xubuntu? | 15:01 |
| KM0201 | right now is an exception, the channel is usually dead | 15:01 |
| ikonia | nope | 15:01 |
| ionite | ikonia: oic. | 15:01 |
| ionite | domedagen: honestly i really enjoy the support here in ubuntu but the environment is laggy for me. | 15:02 |
| htlm | what do you mean | 15:02 |
| Stanley00 | a4: it depends on the prog, try run with --help to see if there is an option, or use wmctrl prog | 15:02 |
| domedagen | ionite: But xubuntu drains no power | 15:02 |
| pythonsnake | what is kde pim ? | 15:02 |

| pythonsnake | managing personal info ? | 15:03 |
| domedagen | ionite: You will likly have the same trouble with Linux Mint KDE/Gnome as you have with ubuntu Unity | 15:03 |
| pythonsnake | thanks for the link ikonia | 15:03 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: you may want to try #kubuntu for kubuntu disucssion | 15:03 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: more specialist people there | 15:03 |
| ionite | domedagen: oh no... maybe i should just go back to windows? sighs. | 15:04 |
| domedagen | ionite: NO! Aboslutly not | 15:04 |
| KM0201 | no, you shouldn't just go back to windows... just over unity silliness | 15:04 |
| pythonsnake | ikonia: ok | 15:04 |
| a4 | i ran --help on it (google chrome) in terminal and all it said is that there are hundreds of command line options for chrome that come and go but it doesnt list a single one Stanley00 | 15:04 |
| KM0201 | ionite: what are your system specs? | 15:04 |
| htlm | ionite distros is what IM good at .... | 15:04 |
| domedagen | KM0201: HERESY! | 15:04 |
| ikonia | ionite: use whatever platform works best fo ryou. If that's windows, that's fine | 15:04 |
| escott | japro, logs are in /var/log and dmesg | 15:05 |
| domedagen | ionite: Actually, that's not fine | 15:05 |
| ikonia | domedagen: yes, it IS - we do not tell people what to use | 15:05 |
| ionite | the handshake between ubuntu evironments and my low end netbook is frustrating me out.. and windows is so screwed.. | 15:05 |
| KM0201 | ionite: what are the specs of your netbook. | 15:05 |
| abyss | hi, i'd like to testing aireplay-ng, and when I try to send packet i get this error: wlan0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 9 | 15:05 |
| lotuspsychje | my netbook rox on unity | 15:06 |
| domedagen | ionite: But you have only tried the heavy ones because we didn't understood you used Intel Atom | 15:06 |
| abyss | ubuntu 11.04, 2.6.38-11-generic, Intel 4965/5xxx (wlan) | 15:06 |
| abyss | how can i fix it? | 15:06 |
| outer_space | is there a way to mount a remote ftp directory so it looks like a regular directory I can edit stuff in my text editor? | 15:06 |
| ionite | domedagen: sighs... kde is too buggy. now ubuntu is laggy. | 15:06 |
| domedagen | ikonia: Unless we can free a soul from being a slave of the Microsoft corporation | 15:06 |
| ikonia | domedagen: no - not at all, please don't bad mouth microsoft, | 15:07 |
| ikonia | ionite: what OS came with the netbook ? | 15:07 |
| outer_space | what is "too buggy" its relative | 15:07 |
| KM0201 | domedagen: plus, he only has 1gig of ram, no wonder he's having an issue. | 15:07 |
| ionite | ikonia: netbook remix which was a discontinued product.. sighs. | 15:07 |
| lotuspsychje | ionite: domedagen sugested few times already to run classic without effects...doesnt that work out for you? | 15:07 |
| ionite | lotuspsychje: no. it's still slightly laggy. | 15:07 |
| domedagen | ionite: KM0201 ikonia dont know anything about your specs dont listen to them | 15:07 |
| outer_space | debian might work better than ubuntu for 1gb ram, ubuntu likes more ram | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ionite: there is a PPA for it though | 15:08 |
| outer_space | I think theres a debian netbook version | 15:08 |
| qin | ionite: xfce4 | 15:08 |
| ikonia | domedagen: I've not suggested anything, just asked questions. | 15:08 |
| === android1000 is now known as obsessed_with_je | ||
| KM0201 | domedagen: i do know his specs, he sent them to me, what ar eyou talking about/ | 15:08 |
| ikonia | ionite: what ubuntu versions have you tried ? | 15:08 |
| Stanley00 | a4: do you need that much? if so install wmctrl and learn using that, i didnt use that before | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | on low resource systems use Lubuntu, its badass. Or even lighter, install ubuntu minimal, then install openbox | 15:08 |
| outer_space | 1gb ram is the least of your problems, the display is tiny and the keyboard is all clacky | 15:09 |
| domedagen | KM0201: He has 2GB of RAK | 15:09 |
| ionite | ikonia: KDE, XFCE, LTS for both as well, Ubuntu is my current one | 15:09 |
| pythonsnake | wow! Kubuntu 11.04 is impressive! | 15:09 |
| KM0201 | domedagen: the specs he sent me, says 1gig | 15:09 |
| ionite | i upraged my ram to 2gb | 15:09 |
| obsessed_with_je | Is the netbook remix version of ubuntu supposed to be a joke? it's the most laggy and slow version ive ever installed, ubuntu runs faster on my netbook than the so called netbook-version | 15:09 |
| abyss | hi, i'd like to testing aireplay-ng, and when I try to send packet i get this error: wlan0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 9, ubuntu 11.04, 2.6.38-11-generic, Intel 4965/5xxx (wlan), how canI fix it? | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | obsessed_with_je: do you mean the one in Jaunty? | 15:09 |
| Sidewinder1 | outer_space, I've been running ubuntu with only 1 GB of RAM, no problems, even with compiz cube, and many other apps running. | 15:09 |
| KM0201 | well, he didn't tell me that. | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Sidewinder1: same | 15:09 |
| japro | ok, so apparently X fails to start, what do i change the Driver to if the nvidia module falis? vesa? | 15:10 |
| ikonia | ionite: what was the issue with xubuntu from your point of view ? | 15:10 |
| outer_space | my ubuntu box takes up over 1gb ram after it boots up, but debian takes up 200mb | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | japro: blacklist the nvidia driver and nouveau will load | 15:10 |
| xangua | ikonia: kicked by using kubuntu¿ o_O | 15:10 |
| lotuspsychje | obsessed_with_je: some netbooks still sold with remix | 15:10 |
| htlm | ionite m.youtube.com/watch?desktop_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxSYxPYv5BTo&v=xSYxPYv5BTo&gl=US this is about desktop environments and what you need to know | 15:10 |
| domedagen | KM0201: If you're specs says he has 1GB then maybe something went wrong with the installion of RAM, np? | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | outer_space: what are you loading at startup? | 15:10 |
| ionite | ikonia: lack of channel support which is so important to me as i'm such a nooob. | 15:10 |
| tiago | Hello guys, a small question: I got 11.10 Beta 2 running here and I would like to know if when it gets officially launched, the upgrade will be smooth or will be better to format and reinstall the new version? | 15:10 |
| KM0201 | domedagen: i'm telling you the link he gave me... he just told me he upgraded it to 2gigs (which he didn't tell me before) | 15:10 |
| outer_space | i dont know, usual ubuntu stuff, maybe a webserver too | 15:10 |
| oCean | tiago: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion | 15:10 |
| ikonia | ionite: ok - so the actual distro was "ok" to you just the lack of support in the channel ? | 15:10 |
| tiago | ok, thanks for the tip | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | outer_space: webserver will chew a lot of RAM. I have Kubuntu and samba, ssh, fatrat, transmission and KDE run and it's litle over 1Gb | 15:11 |
| domedagen | KM0201: What link was that? | 15:11 |
| ionite | ikonia: it's too plain too. | 15:11 |
| KM0201 | domedagen: he PM'd it to me | 15:11 |
| ikonia | ionite: plain, could you expand a little on that please | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | outer_space: my LXDE desktop uses just under 300Mb | 15:12 |
| ionite | ikonia: i'm just looking for something slighltly more pretty as I'm a financial planner i need to show clients my research reports. | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ionite: LXDE? | 15:12 |
| outer_space | is there a good native way to mount a remote ftp directory before i start trying stuff | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | outer_space: nautilus can do it | 15:12 |
| KM0201 | ionite: w/ your specs, you're not gonna have very much "pretty".... second, thats really an application issue, i doubt they're gonna care fi your desktop ha 3D while you're showing them docs | 15:13 |
| outer_space | you should show them stuff from a webserver with jqplot or some nice javascript | 15:13 |
| ikonia | ionite: so is it the application you want to look more fancy, or the OS | 15:13 |
| domedagen | ionite: What link did you send KM0201? You can ask xubuntu questions in here as long as you dont mention your using xubuntu | 15:13 |
| outer_space | then you can give your clients a user/pass to look at your charts hosted from your computer | 15:14 |
| ikonia | ionite: also there is the channel #xubuntu that support xubuntu spefcially, and has good users. | 15:14 |
| ionite | ikonia: just good HW sync with my blackberry, scanner. | 15:14 |
| ikonia | ionite: ok - you're not going to get blackberry sync, | 15:14 |
| ikonia | ionite: blackberry support with Linux is very very poor | 15:14 |
| domedagen | ionite: Because if that link says you have 1GB and you think you have 2GB something is wrong | 15:14 |
| ionite | domedagen: i changed it to 2gb | 15:15 |

| === jnix_detached is now known as jnix | ||
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: looks nice lol | 15:16 |
| ionite | the very reason why i am still hanging on to ubuntu is because of this channel, the friendly users supportive help for me. | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: lightweight too | 15:16 |
| === jnix is now known as jnix_detached | ||
| ikonia | ionite: be aware of #xubuntu - it is just as good, but specific to xubuntu | 15:16 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: is that 1 ubuntu based? | 15:17 |
| domedagen | KM0201: Thought you meant a terminal print, but know I understand you mean something else | 15:17 |
| ionite | so now.. i'm just so lost. so many OS. | 15:17 |
| ionite | *i mean environments. | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: yes, but you can install Lubuntu and theme it up and get supported here | 15:17 |
| tetsuo-- | hello, i am running ubuntu with 4 different user accounts, one of those users cannot access darkorbit.com, and the other 3 can, what could be causing this problem and how do i fix it?? | 15:17 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: 4 users at the same time (desktop)? or one at a time | 15:18 |
| pythonsnake | How to logout from command line ? | 15:18 |
| domedagen | ionite: You cant use Blackberry Sync probably but you can use other services that work on linux | 15:18 |
| KM0201 | Python1320: exit | 15:18 |
| Stanley00 | pythonsnake: type exit or logout | 15:18 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: the gui is it's own shell, you log out from the gui | 15:18 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: each have their own desktop/sessions, it doesnt matter if all or just one are logged in | 15:18 |
| pythonsnake | exit terminate terminal | 15:18 |
| escott | Python1320, gnome-session-quit to exit the gui | 15:18 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: check the users session, proxy for example | 15:18 |
| KM0201 | oh i thought he meant to close the terminal | 15:19 |
| pythonsnake | escott: Thanks :) | 15:19 |
| domedagen | ionite: What do you need to sync? Files or calander? | 15:19 |
| ikonia | escott: he's using kde | 15:19 |
| ionite | domedagen: yep. | 15:19 |
| ionite | but i really appreciate all of ur help guys. | 15:19 |
| pythonsnake | should be something similar | 15:19 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: it says direct internet connection for proxy | 15:19 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: could be, but there doesn't have to be | 15:19 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: what happens when he tries to visit the site | 15:20 |
| Dinux17 | I have trouble with my DNS | 15:20 |
| mang0 | With firefox on ubuntu, is there a way to play quicktime movies? I've got vlc installed, and mplayer, but I get "plugin missing" if I try to view a page with quicktime embedded on it...I can play them when they're downloaded though... :/ | 15:20 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: There is no site configured at this address. Server srv021059 | Host | 15:20 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: that sounds like the site is down, or using a different address than the other users, and the other users are using a cached version | 15:21 |
| xangua | mang0: installed restricted extras¿ | 15:21 |
| Sidewinder1 | !flash | mang0 | 15:21 |
| ubottu | mang0: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 15:21 |
| domedagen | ionite: Calender could be Google Calender and files could be dropbox | 15:21 |
| mang0 | Sidewinder1: I've got flash. | 15:21 |
| mang0 | xangua: What're they? | 15:21 |
| xangua | what does flash has todo with quicktime videos¿ | 15:21 |
| mang0 | yeah | 15:21 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: can i clear the local dns cache? i think its the other way around | 15:21 |
| xangua | Sidewinder1: (10:21:58) xangua: what does flash has todo with quicktime videos¿ | 15:22 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: do you run the local dns server ? | 15:22 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: eg an account that never visited the site before got on it just now | 15:22 |
| tetsuo-- | tetsuo--: all ubuntu defaults for networking | 15:22 |
| kasi_ | how do I make 'service autofs stop' permanent? It starts up after every boot. There's no autofs in /etc/rc*.d | 15:22 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: to you :P | 15:22 |
| xangua | mang0: incluide closed videocodecs | 15:22 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: but do you control the local dns server ? | 15:22 |
| htlm | ionite you want pretty desktop then got for the 3d effects all distros have it, call compiz... but on a netbook be warn that the kde is nice , but must have some decent horsepower behind it.. it run properly... or it will lock up on you nettop | 15:22 |
| domedagen | ionite: Zoho could also be an alternative | 15:22 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: if ubuntu comes with one and it is enabled by default then yes, i have root rights | 15:23 |
| KM0201 | htlm: that's his issue no horsepower | 15:23 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: no, it doesn't | 15:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | mang0, xangua Probably nothin' 'twas just a suggestion.. Guess I've been on here way too long.. :-( | 15:23 |
| domedagen | KM0201: ? | 15:23 |
| * mang0 puts Sidewinder1 to bed | 15:23 | |
| mang0 | ;) | 15:23 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: if you don't control the local dns server, you'll just have to wait for the cache to expire | 15:23 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: you could clear the browser cache if you think that's worth while | 15:23 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: i know in windows dns queries get cached locally for a few days, and you use a dns purge command to get rid of them | 15:23 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: works slightly different | 15:24 |
| * Sidewinder1 Hiding in the corner, again. | 15:24 | |
| mang0 | xangua: I can play .mov through vlc when it's downloaded, but I can't seem to get it to work with firefox :C | 15:24 |

| * lotuspsychje throws cookies in the corner | 15:24 | |
| pythonsnake | Does using DNS like google's one protect me and speed up my internet ? | 15:24 |

| ikonia | tetsuo--: I can | 15:25 |
| htlm | mang0 get the vlc boswer plugin | 15:25 |
| tetsuo-- | so it has to be local, clearning cache made no difference | 15:25 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: it can still be remove, | 15:25 |
| mang0 | htlm: It exists? I must google this >:) | 15:25 |
| edbian | pythonsnake: It makes things a bit faster (because google dns is very fast). Protect you from what? | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | pythonsnake: if it's closer, then yes | 15:25 |
| escott | pythonsnake, google claims it will be faster, and i do believe they try and prevent malicious sites from appearing in the dns, but just read on their webiste | 15:25 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: on the user thats failing, type the following command in the terminal "nslookup www.darkorbit.com" | 15:25 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: tell me what it returns | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | pythonsnake: you can use namebench to test known DNS servers for speed | 15:26 |

| tknudsen | good morning. is there a channel for ubuntu testing. My ISP (Comcast) curiously lets me download only 500M of files only with ubuntu and beta in the name. | 15:27 |
| htlm | (htlm) ActionParsnip dont you ever sleep ? or are you a Linux zombie? ..) * | 15:27 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: interestingly, a different srv number | 15:27 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: ok - so it looks like it's a loadbalancer issue at the isp's end | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | htlm: I work 12 hour shifts, the an hour on the bus home, then chillin and sleeping. 4 days of that then 4 off where I pop in and out | 15:27 |
| japro | ok, this is really starting to piss me off, i blacklisted nvidia and it gets stuck the same way just that the splash screen is messed up also | 15:28 |
| jnix | that shold fix it heh | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | htlm: AndChat lets me IRC on my phone easily :) | 15:28 |
| a4 | im trying to compile an application and it says it requires glib 2.6 or greater and that i dont have glib... How do i get it? sudo apt-get install glib was a no-go | 15:28 |
| auronandace | mang0: the .name folders in your home directory only contains settings files (not the application itself) | 15:28 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: if you reload it a few times does it stop working for you at any reload? | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | japro: blacklist nouveau too and you will use the nv driver | 15:28 |
| htlm | mang0 check to see if you install vlc and vlc plugins that go along with it | 15:28 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: no, because it's cached in my browser the content | 15:29 |
| mang0 | auronandace: Ah, I see. Am a linux noob :3. Where are the applications stored then? | 15:29 |
| tetsuo-- | ikonia: ok, and you get the same ip adres? | 15:29 |
| ikonia | tetsuo--: totally, that's why I think it's a remote load balancer | 15:29 |
| auronandace | mang0: mostly /usr/bin/ | 15:29 |

| Paulo39 | hello guys. a few days ago, my ubuntu crashed and i made a hard reset, then on the restarting it went to initramfs and was unable to mount all directories like you can see in this photo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1890161/Imagens/ubuntuBootError.jpg | 15:30 |
| japro | ActionParsnip, i assume the source of all this trouble is that i have cuda drivers installed and when it installed a new kernel it didn't automatically update the kernel module... but it seems unreasonable that i have to fix this by going through a live cd | 15:31 |
| auronandace | !programs | mang0 | 15:31 |
| ionite | thanks everyone for ur help!!! :))) | 15:31 |

| htlm | hi | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Paulo39: if you boot to liveCD then tell it to boot the first drive, does it boot? | 15:35 |
| escott | lotuspsychje, ecryptfs is part of the standard ubuntu install. just click the "encrypt the home directory" of course when you login you loop mount the encrypted system and root can read it then | 15:35 |
| mang0 | htlm: Just checked it, ana apparantly not :(. The plugin installed, but it's just showing black where the video is supposed to go... | 15:35 |

| trident523 | rkhshm: if your drive has S.M.A.R.T you can use smartmontools | 15:42 |
| dr_willis | a4: you will need to install several things to compile stuff besides just the 'build-essential' package. | 15:42 |

| Gentoo64 | StijnH, some are basic installers for low ram | 15:42 |
| trident523 | StijnH: they do not boot into a live enviroment. they offer a text baised installer, and alternative installs. | 15:43 |
| xangua | !alternate | StijnH | 15:43 |
| a4 | according to terminal "builddeps" is an invalid operation dr_willis | 15:43 |

| ubottu | shawn_: 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. :-) | 16:12 |
| graingert | JLuc: it's probably not something that will be fixed in oneric | 16:13 |
| shawn_ | i did ask lol | 16:13 |
| pythonsnake | how to remove rpeo | 16:13 |
| megatr0n | <JLuc>just open a terminal and try this : sudo rm -rfv /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 16:13 |
| shawn_ | i just wanna know if its loading my sound module wrong | 16:13 |
| graingert | pythonsnake: ppa-purge | 16:13 |
| shawn_ | says in gnome alsa mixer sound card realtek alc888 | 16:13 |
| shawn_ | but in the normal alsa mixer say hda intel | 16:13 |
| graingert | !patience | shawn_ | 16:13 |
| ubottu | shawn_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 16:13 |
| JLuc | i'd prefer to avoid terminal hacks | 16:13 |
| JLuc | thats why ubuntu | 16:14 |
| graingert | JLuc: that's unlikely to help | 16:14 |
| graingert | megatr0n: we don't know if it's X yet | 16:14 |
| graingert | megatr0n: and why -r on a file? | 16:14 |
| JLuc | what would be the way to unistall as clean as possible the grup and start options | 16:14 |
| JLuc | si as to recover a clean state and start again | 16:15 |
| shawn_ | can someone tell me why in gnome alsa mixer it says my sound card is realtek alc888 which is correct but in the normal alsa mixer it says hda intel?? | 16:15 |
| Boom_Farmer | shawn_: Do you get sound when you try to play music or a video? | 16:15 |
| shawn_ | only subwoofer | 16:15 |
| megatr0n | <graingert>just a hobby :P i like force delete . | 16:15 |
| JLuc | i think thats safe | 16:15 |
| JLuc | clean uninstall grub i mean | 16:15 |
| biopyte | megatr0n, ok | 16:15 |
| muzero | hi there | 16:16 |
| shawn_ | and i went to /etc/module it says its only loading lp which im not sure if thats correct due to im very new to ubuntu | 16:16 |

| megatr0n | <biopyte> u mean got it ? succeed? | 16:16 |

| lotuspsychje | howto launch driver license test cdrom with run.exe in natty? | 16:16 |
| zykotick9 | graingert, check /var/log/dpkg.log | 16:16 |
| oCean | megatr0n: -r has nothing to do with force delete, the -r means recursive and should be used very carefully | 16:16 |
| shawn_ | Yeh but why am i only getting sound from only sub? | 16:16 |
| escott | shawn_, that is normal, most module loading is done on the fly by udev | 16:16 |
| arooni-mobile | whats the best program to update dyndns.org of my new ip | 16:17 |
| Boom_Farmer | shawn_: Probably because you're only getting one channel of output. | 16:17 |
| Sidewinder1 | lotuspsychje, From wine, perhaps. | 16:17 |
| shawn_ | is there away to change the channels? | 16:17 |
| megatr0n | <oCean>u r right ! | 16:17 |
| Boom_Farmer | shawn_: OPen up yuor volume control mixer applet, and check that all channels are unmuted. | 16:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Sidewinder1: anything like deamon tools for ubuntu could mount that ? | 16:18 |
| megatr0n | <oCean>i just check it ,u r right buddy ! | 16:18 |
| graingert | zykotick9: that doesn't show what I am looking for, to be clear I am having this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/859004 | 16:18 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 859004 in Ubuntu "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." [Undecided,Incomplete] | 16:18 |
| escott | shawn_, if the sub is connected to a different jack than the speakers you might try the hda_analyzer tool. perhaps the output is being sent to the wrong jack | 16:18 |
| shawn_ | well doesnt have channels just has master etc and there all on 100% | 16:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | lotuspsychje, I've no clue; humblest apologies. | 16:18 |
| JLuc | its very busy here | 16:18 |

| linty | Question: Can I manage RackSpace Cloud instances/servers with Landscape? | 16:27 |
| zykotick9 | sosaited, as Ubuntu doesn't have a firewall setup by default, everything is allowed by default | 16:29 |
| Boom_Farmer | Aren't all ports masked from host scans, though? | 16:29 |

| matze | tsching tsching,ich bräuchte Hilfe bezügöich Xubuntu.... *umher gugg* | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | shawn_: a bug in the program. just a warning. | 16:30 |

| dr_willis | sosaited: I think they get applied at boot time. firestarter is just a tool to manage them | 16:31 |
| matze | thx | 16:31 |
| lotuspsychje | Sidewinder1: wine did the trick tnx | 16:32 |
| sosaited | Though this is the biggest surprise I could have gotten. As I always heard (apparently misunderstood) that Linux had iptables which was a firewall (and consequently blocked any incoming stuff), and firestarter/ufw were just GUI to add your rules and monitor connections | 16:32 |
| llutz | sosaited: theres no need to block something incoming, if theres nothing listening. | 16:32 |
| dr_willis | sosaited: its never been stated it blocks by default. | 16:33 |
| samd | sosaited: thats right, iptables is the firewall built into the linux kernel and you can add rules (block/allow) ports using either ufw or firestarter, there's just no need to do that since you have no process listening by default | 16:33 |
| dr_willis | sosaited: windows takes a totally opposite type approach to firewalls. | 16:34 |
| billet75 | I got this Error: cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available fresh install any ideas on how to resolve? | 16:34 |
| dr_willis | I just love playing a full screen game for a few hrs.. then exit. and seeing a windows 'allow this game through the firewall' dialog.. :) glad it wasent some nasty program | 16:35 |
| sosaited | dr_willis, That is what I am confused about. A default Windows Xp with no firewall and a ubuntu default without any frontend to iptables are different from a security standpoint how? | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | sosaited: xp has serviecs listening by default. netbios for one.. | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | sosaited: also windows firewalling is often about blocking stuff from going Out.. | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | ie: malware that may infect the rest of the lan. | 16:36 |
| sosaited | dr_willis, Hmm. Thank you. | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | the various iptables docs/guides/tutoals are worth a read. if interested. | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | i rarely use the firewall features of windows or linux. | 16:36 |
| KIAaze | is XP vulnerable by default because of netbios? | 16:37 |
| KIAaze | how big of a risk is netbios? | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | KIAaze: i think its been patched up now a days. there were some exploits on it ages ago | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | KIAaze: if you don't use it, disable it | 16:37 |
| SIFTU | any service listening on any OS is a potentential security risk | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | KIAaze: the 'shields up' web site had some info on the topic i recall.. ages ago. | 16:37 |
| irv___ | join #diaspora | 16:38 |
| KIAaze | is netbios similar to telnel or ssh? i.e. for remote access? | 16:38 |
| dr_willis | KIAaze: its samba :) how windows does shares. | 16:38 |
| KIAaze | ah ok. :) | 16:38 |

| linty | does anyone use Canonicals Landscape Project? | 16:39 |
| === iradnik is now known as Kindari | ||
| Boom_Farmer | irv___: Can they help me with setting up tun/tap network interfaces so that I can talk to a Diaspora pod running in a VM on the computer that I am trying to access it from? | 16:42 |
| dr_willis | Boom_Farmer: what VM? | 16:44 |
| Boom_Farmer | dr_willis: QEMU, using the AQEMU GUI, and a 10.04 host and VM. | 16:44 |
| dr_willis | somthing ive not used befor. I just toy with vbox. | 16:45 |
| Boom_Farmer | Would you recommend virtualbox for this application? Is it easier to set up a tun/tap interface using vbox? | 16:45 |
| dr_willis | I jist normally set vbox where the guest machines show up on my lan as a real machine would. same ip range. | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | ie: 192.168.1.100 and so on. :) i forget what setting is called in the network settings in vbox. | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | then my router or whatever can port forward to that ip# | 16:47 |
| webchatterr | ubottu | 16:47 |
| Boom_Farmer | Ah, see, i don't have access to the router, and would not want it in any case. | 16:48 |
| dr_willis | if you are not comming in from the internet. thenyou wouldnt need to mess with the router. | 16:48 |
| Boom_Farmer | I'm just trying to talk to the guest from the host, accessing an HTTP server there. | 16:49 |
| timetravel | noob question: if my Windows in Vbox runs spyware, will Vbox & iptables just let all that spy-traffic through? | 16:49 |
| Boom_Farmer | ubottu: !bot | webchatterr | 16:49 |
| ubottu | webchatterr: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 16:49 |
| dr_willis | Boom_Farmer: should work in vbox. but no idea about tun and stuff. ive never needed to mess with them in vbox. | 16:49 |
| a4 | dr_willis i installed weechat but it wont open via terminal and i dont see it in my applications list :\ | 16:50 |
| neil_m | vbox for the win | 16:50 |
| dr_willis | timetravel: by default vbox is on its own private lan. but yes. it could send naughty stuff out to the internet. | 16:50 |
| Boom_Farmer | But you were connecting to the VM buy going from your computer through the router back to your computer and into the VM. I want to cut the router step out. | 16:50 |
| dr_willis | a4: weechat(tab) to get its name | 16:50 |
| dr_willis | a4: it dosent have a menu item. and you will want to check its docs/guides | 16:50 |
| Boom_Farmer | a4: try running which weechat, then running one of those files. | 16:51 |
| timetravel | @drWillis > So IPtables just opens outgoign ports whenever an application asks for it? | 16:51 |
| dr_willis | timetravel: they are not closed to begin with.. so thats not correct. | 16:51 |
| dr_willis | an app opens a port.. befor that - the port is not open or closed.. its a blank wall. Not a locked or closed or open door. :) | 16:51 |
| dr_willis | i think thats a good metaphore. | 16:52 |
| Boom_Farmer | Hokay, breakfasttime. | 16:52 |
| timetravel | so: everythign goes out, nothing is listening to incoming stuff? | 16:52 |
| dr_willis | theres no default rules on outgoing traffic that im aware of. | 16:52 |
| Sidewinder1 | timetravel, Sounds like my bank account. | 16:52 |
| dr_willis | you install the ssh server. you dont need to do anything to allow it out. | 16:53 |
| timetravel | heheh | 16:53 |
| timetravel | why are you mentioning ssh server? | 16:53 |
| dr_willis | as an example service | 16:54 |
| timetravel | ah ok | 16:54 |
| webchatterr | Boom_Farmer: how to know package info using ubottu | 16:54 |
| dr_willis | given ssh is perhaps the most common service installed on a box by most people. :) | 16:54 |

| timetravel | DrWillis > Sosaito mentioned earlier Firestarter .. if I install that, will it change my FW rules? (like windows FW's do) or will it just be a gui and do nothing until i make changes? | 16:57 |
| dr_willis | a4: behind it? behind what? the file manager icons auto -rearange for me as i delete things.. the desktop icons have settings for that i recall.. i dont put icons on my desktop much any more. :) | 16:57 |
| dr_willis | timetravel: if you make rules.. it will. | 16:57 |
| pythonsnake | oCean: ok | 16:57 |
| dr_willis | timetravel: it does nothng by default that ieve ever seen | 16:57 |
| timetravel | great :) | 16:57 |
| a4 | the default desktop on 11.04 leaves your files where they were originally placed unless you right click then press organize | 16:57 |
| a4 | dr_willis ^ | 16:57 |
| timetravel | Is taht the FW-gui you would recommend? Or is there another one i should check? | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | timetravel: rember windows does the opposite approace blocks and nags by default on a per app basis.. Linux fw's do not work on a per app basis. but on a per-PORT basis | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | timetravel: it all depends on your needs. | 16:58 |
| dr_willis | a4: thats a feature... :) | 16:58 |
| a4 | its a "feature" i dont want dr_willis, it makes my desktop a mess | 16:59 |
| timetravel | my needs are: a gui that a noob understands, but not something that will makes automatic changes | 16:59 |

| oCean | pythonsnake: stop the random/offtopic comments, you know that | 17:09 |
| pythonsnake | oCean: sorry | 17:09 |
| SterniX | what is the new release of Ubuntu | 17:10 |
| SterniX | and where can i get one? | 17:10 |
| Mikey^ | occam1: #C, maybe | 17:10 |
| occam1 | can I redirect the script's output to a socket or something like that?? | 17:10 |
| oCean | SterniX: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion | 17:10 |
| pythonsnake | !give SterniX 11.04 | 17:10 |
| ubottu | pythonsnake: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:10 |
| pythonsnake | !11.10 | SterniX | 17:10 |
| henningvis | nobody for help with authentication .please this is my 4th attemp | 17:10 |
| ubottu | SterniX: 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 | 17:10 |
| dr_willis | SterniX: if you have to ask.. you should not be usiong the beta version i imagine. :) | 17:11 |
| CanadianPirate | Whats the command to change the mac address using ifconfig? | 17:12 |
| SterniX | beta version of what?! | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | henningvis: have you tried somthing basic like booting a live cd, chrooting in, and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop package? | 17:12 |
| pythonsnake | how to connect konversation to my ssh weechat ? | 17:13 |
| oCean | SterniX: you asked about the new Ubuntu release. Latest stable is 11.04, the 11.10 is still beta | 17:13 |
| henningvis | dr willis it refers to pan-unix when i authenticate not unix | 17:13 |
| SterniX | aha 11.04 | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | pythonsnake: weechat is an irssi client.. and i thought konversation was also.. you dont normally connect the 2 | 17:13 |
| SterniX | thats a 0.6 increment | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | henningvis: no idea on it. but if you removed somthing.. and it removed other stuff.. reinstalling 'ubuntu-desktop' should pull back in the needed packages. | 17:14 |
| pythonsnake | dr_willis: so how to connect weechat to my ssh weechat ? | 17:14 |
| dr_willis | SterniX: version # is the date. | 17:14 |
| henningvis | command line for that please | 17:14 |
| cProg | Hi all | 17:14 |
| dr_willis | pythonsnake: never needed to. or wanted to do that. I just use screen and connect to a single running weechat instance.. or use znc and have all irc clients connect to the znc server. | 17:14 |
| quqwerty | great, I've only installed xchat and now I'm here | 17:14 |
| SterniX | thanx dr_willis i just found something nu | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | SterniX: natty is current stable, Oneiric is current Beta | 17:15 |
| SterniX | thanx | 17:15 |
| henningvis | dr_willis can you give me a command line to reinstall ubuntu-desktop? | 17:15 |
| Sidewinder1 | SterniX, This explains a lot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 | 17:15 |
| dr_willis | too late. :) | 17:16 |
| Sidewinder1 | :-( | 17:16 |
| pythonsnake | BTW, iwhat is the best bouncer ?! | 17:16 |
| Mikey^ | henningvis: apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 17:16 |
| henningvis | tx | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | pythonsnake: depends on your needs. I only use znc | 17:16 |
| Mikey^ | henningvis: use sudo before apt-get | 17:16 |
| pythonsnake | dr_willis: my needs is to connect to it safely | 17:16 |
| pythonsnake | and performance | 17:16 |
| cProg | My front microphone is not working. Anyone can help me to fix that problem? Thanks. I run ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, and I have followed these instructions in vain: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 17:16 |
| The_BROS | What Visual Assistance for? Can I delete it from startup applications? | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | pythonsnake: check the znc docs I guess... | 17:17 |
| pythonsnake | dr_willis: ok thanks | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | all my irc clients connect to my znc server via dyndns :) | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | so i can irc from my phone, come home, and be on the same channels and so on. You guys never see me leave. | 17:17 |
| Mikey^ | The_BROS: yes you can, unless you need applications like magnifaction etc. | 17:18 |

| c-beams | I'm trying to create an image of a 1TB hard drive. using both dd (with various bs settings) and partclone, they start fast and get continuously slower by 0.07MB/min every second (approx). why is this? how can i fix it? | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | c-beams: you saw no error messages in the dmesg logs? | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | c-beams: look into the bs option | 17:18 |
| Mikey^ | c-beams: maybe you can use the block size option | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | c-beams: whats the exact dd line you are using? | 17:18 |
| The_BROS | Mikey^: thanx | 17:19 |
| dr_willis | c-beams: if you use the ddrescue command (or was it dd_rescue) with the logging option. it can start from whhere it left off also. :) | 17:19 |
| pythonsnake | dr_willis: nice | 17:20 |
| c-beams | dd bs=16M if=/dev/sdb of=./backup.img | 17:20 |
| The_BROS | Mikey^: What services can I delete as well which are not nesesery? | 17:20 |

| Mikey^ | The_BROS: Each one has a comment about it | 17:21 |
| c-beams | 1TB | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | isent 16mb a bit big for a BS option? i thought i read ages ago that anything over a few K was overkill and could slow things down. | 17:22 |
| cProg | IRC Council: Hi | 17:24 |
| The_BROS | Anybody knows about integration of Google docs into Ubunto or about syncronisation with tomboy? | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | syncing what with tomboy? | 17:25 |
| The_BROS | dr_willis: google docs | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | tomboy just has its notes.. so i dont see how that would work. You could store stuff on your ubuntu one account i guess.. | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | tomboy is so handy. but gets overlooked. :( - same with ubuntu one. | 17:28 |
| zs1otb | dr_willis do you have any knowledge on JACK server in Ubuntu 11.04? | 17:29 |
| dr_willis | zs1otb: nope. never needed to use it. | 17:29 |
| dr_willis | theres some wiki pages on it i recall.. but wheni read up on it.. it had me all confused. :) im not even sure what it does exactly. | 17:30 |

| Polah | djskidd: We need details. That is a hugely vague question... | 19:25 |
| llutz | ujjain: no backups by default | 19:25 |
| ujjain | I destroyed my Ubuntu install again, using GUI mountmanager this tim that replaced all default things by UID's | 19:26 |
| ujjain | now my computer boots a black screen | 19:26 |
| unk | bastidrazor: ya i know i m testing how i look to others | 19:26 |
| Polah | ujjain: Boot a LiveCD and edit your fstab to the proper options | 19:26 |

| djskidd | Polah: My sound does not function at all. I can adjust the volume and all, but I got the app DJPlay, ranit, and now Audacious freezes on my FLACs, and I can't get YouTube or anything to play audio. Help? | 19:27 |
| ujjain | Polah: Yeah, I will try that, just using default fstab setup | 19:27 |
| bastidrazor | ujjain: UUID's are a better option than /dev/sdXX since your UUID doesn't change | 19:27 |
| unk | bastidrazor: is there any problem in doing that?? | 19:27 |

| ujjain | bastidrazor: Yeah, that's fair, but I have no idea what causes the black screen then. All I did was add /Maxtor for a 2nd disk, it replaced all default entries | 19:28 |
| djskidd | Could the update installer be interfering? | 19:28 |
| shawn_ | whats the command t restart alsa iin xubuntu | 19:28 |
| ujjain | so even the default /dev/sda1 got replaced by UID and no longer boots | 19:28 |
| shawn_ | /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 19:28 |
| shawn_ | ? | 19:28 |
| urlin2u | ujjain, you can pastebin the fstab if needed | 19:29 |
| Polah | ujjain: Nothing wrong with using UUIDs, pastebin your fstab for us please | 19:29 |
| bastidrazor | ujjain: you use a livecd to see if the uuid's are pointing at the correct /dev/sdXX's .. sudo blkid and sudo fdisk -l are the two commands that will help you in this. | 19:29 |

| Awesomeo2000 | unk: hi | 20:12 |
| Milez- | ugh. why is ubuntu install trying to write grub onto my flashdrive mbr | 20:13 |
| === Colourfu1 is now known as Kirjava | ||
| === unk is now known as Unk | ||
| Milez- | i guess i can just run grub-install on the proper drive after the installation completes? | 20:13 |
| urlin2u | Milez-, it happens use the something else option on install placement you can point grub there. | 20:13 |
| Milez- | oh ok | 20:14 |
| === Unk is now known as unk123 | ||
| urlin2u | Milez-, a thimb will sometime end up being the sda. | 20:14 |
| urlin2u | thumb | 20:14 |
| Mondragon | is there an updated version of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Python anywhere? | 20:14 |
| Milez- | got it, thanks | 20:14 |
| urlin2u | Milez-, you can reload grub though as you suggest to the correct mbr, if the thumb get the grub you can boot the OS and do it from the desktop. | 20:15 |
| Milez- | yah i just said " | 20:15 |
| urlin2u | with the thumbs grub | 20:15 |
| Milez- | yah i just said "NO" to install on master, then it let me type in /dev/sdb | 20:16 |
| urlin2u | Milez-, which release? | 20:16 |
| unk123 | j | 20:16 |
| Milez- | this is 11.04 | 20:16 |
| Milez- | command line | 20:17 |
| tonywade | hello | 20:17 |
| hellslinger | the JumpyCursorThreshold property doesn't seem to have any effect on my synaptics touchpad | 20:17 |
| urlin2u | Milez-, there is adropdown if your at the something else. a fdisk -l in the terminal will tell you how he HD and thumb are being read | 20:17 |
| hellslinger | does anyone know how to make this work? | 20:17 |
| tonywade | milez | 20:17 |
| Milez- | nah im good | 20:17 |
| Milez- | it worked | 20:17 |
| Milez- | hey tony | 20:17 |
| urlin2u | Milez-, cool sounded like you were. :D | 20:18 |
| tonywade | do u know how to speed up the internet thanks | 20:18 |
| Milez- | actually i do. | 20:18 |
| tonywade | really? | 20:18 |
| Milez- | you need more bandwidth. | 20:18 |
| Gentoo64 | tonywade, silly question | 20:18 |
| a4 | So i installed 11.10 beta dr_willis and it does by default KEEP your desktop aligned muhaha | 20:18 |
| tonywade | fine lol sorry i asked | 20:19 |
| benoliver999 | tonywade, lol | 20:19 |
| Milez- | tonywade - If your internet experience is slow, it's either your PC that needs an upgrade, or your internet connection. | 20:19 |
| conntrack | Not amazing but I just figured how to force skype to use SSL | 20:19 |
| tonywade | im using satellite connection | 20:19 |
| Gentoo64 | tonywade, thats why then | 20:20 |
| urlin2u | tonywade, is the browser slow? you can run a speed test to see if you getting the correct speed. | 20:20 |
| Milez- | omg satellite | 20:20 |
| Milez- | no | 20:20 |
| Milez- | :( | 20:20 |
| tonywade | yes | 20:20 |
| Chat7485 | hey | 20:20 |
| Gentoo64 | actually disabling ipv6 (if you dont use it) can speed things up | 20:20 |
| tonywade | how do i disable it | 20:20 |
| Gentoo64 | hang on ill check | 20:20 |
| Milez- | your data has to go up to a satellite and back down. it's a costly trip to make. See if you can get something besides satellite in your area. | 20:20 |
| pjdelport | hi there; i'm trying to set up Internet connection sharing for a LAN (on Ubuntu 11.04) | 20:20 |
| urlin2u | tonywade, also fasterfox FF addon will speed thing up a bit as well, and the latest FF release. | 20:21 |
| tonywade | where do i get faster fox | 20:21 |
| urlin2u | tonywade, it is a addon use the addon in tools | 20:21 |
| Gentoo64 | tonywade, http://goo.gl/lEy9 | 20:22 |
| urlin2u | ff tools | 20:22 |
| pjdelport | i have the DSL connection set up and working in the Network Manager, and i also configured my Ethernet connection to be shared | 20:22 |
| tonywade | can i get it 4 chromium | 20:22 |
| pjdelport | but it seems Network Manager only lets you connect with one of those at a time | 20:22 |
| Gentoo64 | tonywade, no | 20:22 |
| Gentoo64 | i dont htink so | 20:22 |
| tonywade | ok just firefox | 20:22 |
| urlin2u | tonywade, don't use it but I think chrome has it. | 20:23 |
| pjdelport | in other words, i can either connect to the DSL provider, in which case NM disables the eth0 configuration for the LAN | 20:23 |
| tonywade | k thanks | 20:23 |
| pjdelport | or i can enable the LAN (and connection sharing), but then NM disables the DSL connection | 20:23 |
| pjdelport | is there a way around this? | 20:23 |
| pythonsnake | can I use oneiric for regular use ? | 20:24 |
| Gentoo64 | tonywade, basically its your connection. you can tweak stuff to make things more reponsive (sometimes) but chrome has very good defaults | 20:24 |
| urlin2u | pythonsnake, the general answer is if you have to ask no. | 20:24 |
| pjdelport | i tried to see if you can configure connection sharing on the actual DSL connection, but its IPv4 settings tab does not have the "Shared to other computers" option | 20:24 |
| tonywade | ya i wish i could sometin better than satellite | 20:25 |
| a4 | im using it for regular use pythonsnake... they just dont recommend using it on a machine that is relied on for service /business | 20:25 |
| pythonsnake | ok Thanks | 20:25 |
| urlin2u | or stabilty | 20:25 |
| Gentoo64 | tonywade, try looking at using polipo with chrome, it caches pages and makes them load faster if they havent been changed | 20:25 |
| tonywade | k thanks | 20:26 |

| michal_ | urlin2u, how i can boot OS from grub rescue | 20:30 |
| === newbie is now known as Guest75359 | ||
| Guest75359 | Hello! Anyone can help me solve some doubts I have about partitioning my hard drives, related to mount points | 20:32 |
| Ttech | Guest75359, You are doing it manually? | 20:33 |
| michal_ | urlin2u, how i can boot OS from grub rescue | 20:33 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: what doubts? | 20:33 |
| Guest75359 | yes, I am at the live session atm, right to apply | 20:33 |
| alkafoo | michal_: what's the problem? | 20:33 |
| Guest75359 | what I need is... | 20:33 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: to finish your messages | 20:34 |
| Guest75359 | I have 2x 500gb HDs and I want to mount the / in one HD and the /home in another... | 20:34 |
| Ttech | I usually do 200mb for /boot, 50% of / and 50% for /home | 20:34 |
| urlin2u | michal_, you might try a supergrub disc. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ If that gets you in you can reload the mbr from the desktop | 20:34 |
| michal_ | alkafoo, i hava a problem with grub after instalation ubuntu on my notebook, this is result.txt http://pastebin.com/0reqpP77 | 20:34 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: you're never going to use up 500GB just on OS files, but it won't actually hurt anything | 20:35 |
| Guest75359 | but, I want to install every app in the / even games... is it possible? | 20:35 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: yeah, but you'll still never get to 500GB | 20:35 |
| koumi | hi | 20:35 |
| alkafoo | koumi: hi | 20:35 |
| urlin2u | michal_, is that a script run after your last try? | 20:35 |
| michal_ | urlin2u, can i use this superdiskgrub with flashdrive ? | 20:35 |
| Guest75359 | that's why I am in doubt | 20:35 |
| Guest75359 | how to partition it... | 20:35 |
| koumi | e\any any of yoy know c? | 20:36 |
| michal_ | no this is the old one but i cant see any difference | 20:36 |
| urlin2u | michal_, it is spradic there I use a actual cd | 20:36 |
| guntbert | koumi: ask in ##c | 20:36 |
| Guest75359 | on Windows, I used the second HDd as my Data partition, not sure how to do it in Linux/Ubuntu | 20:36 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: it's still fine that way, it'll give /home/ 500GB to start with, and if you need you can always make a generic storage dir on / | 20:36 |
| mickster04 | Guest75359: yes that's doable | 20:36 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: also you can mirror your important personal files on both, for backup | 20:36 |
| koumi | ## any of yoyuknow c? | 20:36 |
| Guest75359 | I have a lot of backup files to put in the /home/ partition | 20:37 |
| alkafoo | koumi: #friendly-coders | 20:37 |
| urlin2u | michal_, your choice but with the script any changes made will need a new scipt to be accurate. | 20:37 |

| guntbert | koumi: try ##c | 20:40 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: even tho I will have one bloated HD and an empty one? | 20:40 |
| alkafoo | if you want something that doesn't try to be smarter than you, that's apt-get | 20:40 |
| nathanel | reformulation: which is more absolute in package management | 20:40 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: you won't, you'll use the empty space in one for backups | 20:40 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: cause I will install games on .wine | 20:40 |

| TheCowboy | <natali> hi msn sex http://live-cam.de.lv | 20:41 |
| alkafoo | nathanel: I'd say apt-get is less likely to do something automagical that you didn't intend it to do | 20:41 |
| Polah | nathanel: Neither. Aptitude and apt-get are both frontends for apts with are frontends for dpkg I believe. They do the same thing with the same repositories. | 20:41 |
| nathanel | ok | 20:41 |
| Rajsun | nathaniel: I'm an aptitude fan for tasks small and big but to each his own. | 20:42 |
| nathanel | oki doki :) | 20:42 |
| nathanel | thx for clarifying | 20:42 |
| alkafoo | I like aptitutde for installing things initially | 20:42 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: let's say I have 100gb of music, I put it in the first HD which will have loads of free space and then soft link it to my /home/*/Music ? | 20:42 |
| alkafoo | but not for maintenance stuff, it tries to be too smart | 20:42 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: yup, easy | 20:42 |
| TheCowboy | rww, you forgot to ban natali | 20:42 |
| nathanel | it overrides too much? | 20:42 |
| alkafoo | nathanel: it tries to be smart, which is good sometimes and bad other times | 20:43 |
| nathanel | mhm | 20:43 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: ok then, gonna leave 60gb to the / and the rest I will create as an ext4 without mount point, does it sound proper? | 20:43 |
| alkafoo | if you take the time to educate yourself about it it shouldn't matter though | 20:43 |
| Polah | Guest75359: No need to symlink it. You could just tell your programs to look for your actual music directory on the other drive rather than through a symlink. | 20:43 |
| nathanel | alkafoo: because i have a little intriguing bash bug that seems to be related to apt-get execution fr initial install of packages after format | 20:43 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: there's no need to do that, you can use the unused space if you give the entire drive to / | 20:43 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: no need to limit yourself like that | 20:44 |
| Polah | nathanel, what bug? | 20:44 |
| alkafoo | nathanel: neat | 20:44 |
| nathanel | if i run the "add" script manually it runs fine... | 20:44 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: oh, you should make a partition for swap, too, though | 20:44 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: know how much memory you have? | 20:44 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: yes, I will | 20:44 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: 4gb with 3gb usable | 20:44 |
| nathanel | alkafoo: if i call on the master config script containing "add" and others.. it gives me somekind of dbus error | 20:45 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: 3gb usable? | 20:45 |
| rww | TheCowboy: thanks for the report | 20:45 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: because I am on a dv7 with shared VGA | 20:45 |
| alkafoo | ah | 20:45 |
| nathanel | and it only occurs for add and remove which use apt-get --force-yes -y install BLABLABLA | 20:45 |
| TheCowboy | ty | 20:45 |
| bfreis | If I install Oneiric Oncelot beta 2 today, and simply keep it upgrading automatically, is it equivalent to install the final release? | 20:45 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: so, [disk1: 3-4GB swap, the rest for / ] & [disk2: all for /home/ ] should work out fine | 20:45 |
| rww | bfreis: yes | 20:46 |
| nathanel | bfreis: yes sir | 20:46 |
| a4 | bfreis just be aware that 11.10 does not have a gnome classic option... your stuck with either unity or gnome-shell (like unity) | 20:46 |
| nathanel | bfreis: though it doesnt guarantee a clean install's no-bug policy | 20:46 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: just a little last thing: on Ubuntu, only Wine will install things under /home/, let's say a game, right? | 20:47 |
| bfreis | ok, thanks! | 20:47 |
| bfreis | about Gnome Classic... | 20:47 |
| Polah | nathanel: Why are you using -y and --force-yes? | 20:47 |
| urlin2u | a4, by some freak accident mine does and a no effects classic as wel with the latest updates. | 20:47 |
| rww | bfreis: in 11.04 or 11.10? | 20:47 |
| urlin2u | rww, 11.10 | 20:47 |
| untermensch | can anyone explain to me, why my sound works with movie player, but not amarok or banshee? | 20:47 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: by default yes, but I'd be quite surprised if you can't configure that | 20:47 |
| nathanel | bc it doesnt seem to want to consider -y as a valid flag (it's an unasttended config) | 20:48 |
| urlin2u | rww, sorry you wern't addressing me. | 20:48 |
| rww | urlin2u: indeed | 20:48 |
| nathanel | unattended* | 20:48 |
| a4 | please share your freak accident with me then urlin2u.. im stuck with gnome shell and i hate it... I dont have any panels, i cant minimize programs without them hiding in their activity menu | 20:48 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: hehe... yes, dont wanna change default things... | 20:48 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: yes, if you run 'winecfg', there's a tab for 'drives' | 20:48 |
| rww | oh well | 20:48 |
| rww | !notunity-#ubuntu+1 | bfreis, urlin2u, a4 | 20:48 |
| ubottu | bfreis, urlin2u, a4: To use GNOME Shell on Oneiric, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place a new entry in the Sessions dropdown on the login window. | 20:48 |
| alkafoo | Guest75359: and even if there weren't, you could probably trick it with symlinks | 20:48 |
| bfreis | I'm actually using it on Natty, but it's far from the default configuration: I have a bunch of custom keyboard shortcuts, I use Gnome-Do, Avant Window Navigator, and other things, and have something I really enjoy working with | 20:49 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: yeah... let's leave like that... | 20:49 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: thanks man for the time! | 20:49 |
| alkafoo | ok | 20:49 |
| nathanel | alkafoo: any idea? | 20:49 |
| alkafoo | 500GB will still take you quite a long time to use up | 20:49 |
| bfreis | Is it possible to do similar customizations on Gnome Shell or Unity? | 20:49 |
| nathanel | alkafoo: all the rest is pretty champ on execution, nice and clean :) | 20:49 |
| alkafoo | nathanel: no sorry, but dbus isn't much to do with apt-get AFAIK, so it's probably not that directly related to apt-get itself | 20:49 |
| bfreis | (actually, I really dislike Unity... I tried it once I upgraded to 11.04, but rushed to my customized Gnome 2) | 20:49 |
| Guest75359 | bfreis: I actually am starting to like it a lot... | 20:50 |
| a4 | rww I have gnome-shell, gnome-session-fallback, and gnome-panel installed and I still cant get a gnome 2 like environment | 20:50 |
| sly | Xfceeeeeeeeeeeeee is the way forward. Sorry, random stuff just gets splurted out. | 20:51 |
| bfreis | Guest75359, the problem is that I don't want to get used to a completely different user interface, which focus on tablet and other touch devices. I simply love my keyboard-friendly customized Gnome 2 | 20:51 |
| Guest75359 | bfreis: I got you, you're right | 20:51 |
| a4 | id be happy with gnome shell if it would just give me a bottom panel to minimize programs to and to add panel apps to | 20:52 |
| a4 | its stupid to either have to alt tab or open a menu to bring programs back up.. right now i have to keep every thing unmaximized so i can click back and forth | 20:52 |
| nathanel | alkafoo: care to sample? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10728225/oneiric.tar.gz | 20:53 |
| astartoth | hi all, how can I make urxvt's color exactly like gnome-terminal's? | 20:53 |
| alkafoo | a4: can't you just add another panel? | 20:53 |
| alkafoo | astartoth: change it in ~/.Xdefaults, then run xrdb ~/.Xdefaults | 20:53 |
| bfreis | Oh, another question: I remember problems when installing 11.04 (or was it 10.10?) with my graphics card on my laptop (Dell Latitude E6510). It worked fine on the live cd, but after the installation, the screen wouldn't work. I don't remember what I did (maybe I changed drivers through the console?) | 20:53 |
| a4 | how do i add a panel in gnome3 alkafoo? right clicking on the top panel does nothing there is no visible option to add a panel | 20:54 |
| bfreis | Has it been solved for Oneiric? | 20:54 |
| alkafoo | urxvt.background:black, etc. | 20:54 |
| alkafoo | a4: there must be a way | 20:54 |
| a4 | show me the way alkafoo | 20:54 |
| astartoth | alkafoo: exactly. But I can't seem to find the correct color code and pass it to ~/.Xdefaults as 'URxvt*background: rgba:xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx | 20:54 |
| Guest75359 | alkafoo: haha, last! I promise... can I extend a partition once I just put all my backup in the proper place? Because now I got 2 partitions on my main HD, a windows one and a backup one, so I will erase the windows NTFS one and set as /, then place the backup around, so then I can extend it later on, right? | 20:55 |

| urlin2u | CounterPillow you want us to help you spam. | 20:57 |

| alkafoo | Guest75359: having swap and one big partition taking up the rest will be simpler | 20:58 |
| trism | a4: gnome3 fallback mode uses gnome-panel, so it is pretty similar to gnome 2 | 20:58 |

| a4 | how do i use gnome3 fallback mode then trism? | 20:58 |
| alkafoo | CounterPillow: done | 20:58 |
| vlt | Hello. What do I need to do to make bash-completion work again after having started over with a clean home dir? | 20:58 |
| trism | a4: install gnome-panel in oneiric (which is supported in #ubuntu+1) | 20:58 |

| trism | a4: then select it when you login (gnome classic) | 20:59 |

| craigbass1976 | So, my kids are about to fight about whose turn it is on the computer. I'm more concerned with catching the older one lying than whose turn it is. Can I vnc into his display, or just see what's on his browser? Is it possible for an instance of an app to be on two displays at once if I do something like ssh -X ? | 21:08 |
| Bizzeh | are there any decent tutorials for configuring bind, spessifically in ubuntu? | 21:08 |
| kermit | craigbass1976: ssh -X no, vnc yes | 21:08 |
| craigbass1976 | Bizzeh, there are. I set one up recently and can poke through my command history if you want. | 21:09 |
| alkafoo | cccangel: sorry, is the audio meant to come in over USB, too? | 21:09 |
| notlistening | are you worried about what he is lookin at craigbass1976? | 21:09 |
| craigbass1976 | kermit, how can I do it now that everything is already running? | 21:09 |
| alkafoo | craigbass1976: lying about... whose turn it is? | 21:09 |
| cccangel | alkafoo, yes. its a mic and headphone headset. | 21:09 |
| craigbass1976 | notlistening, no, I'm concerned with him saying he didn't die when in fact he did and it's now the younger kid's turn | 21:10 |
| alkafoo | cccangel: with only a USB port input | 21:10 |
| alkafoo | craigbass1976: oh in a game? =P | 21:10 |
| cccangel | alkafoo, this is usually corrected with a reboot if i leave the headset plugged in during the whole process | 21:10 |
| th0r | craigbass1976: you could use ffmpeg to record the desktop | 21:10 |
| alkafoo | cccangel: hrmmm, that's odd | 21:11 |
| craigbass1976 | kermit, nothingspecial alkafoo: although, I've often wanted to be able to do this to see what my wife means by "this won't work" when she's here and I'm not | 21:11 |
| cccangel | alkafoo, so something tells me some sort of "reset" on the audio in ubuntu would get it working | 21:11 |
| notlistening | vnc is the best solution | 21:11 |
| alkafoo | craigbass1976: well for your wife yeah, just start the VNC server, it comes with Ubuntu by default | 21:11 |

| craigbass1976 | alkafoo, but I've got to be the user whose desktop I want to see in order to fire it up properly? | 21:12 |
| craigbass1976 | alkafoo, it's all linux | 21:12 |
| alkafoo | notlistening: "you know it baby" | 21:12 |
| alkafoo | craigbass1976: yes, but it's just a check box and then they read an IP to you over the phone | 21:12 |
| alkafoo | craigbass1976: though if you really want to, I'm sure you could get it to work by just having a shortcut on the desktop/etc. | 21:12 |
| alkafoo | or you could even leave it on 24/7 if you think the box is secure enough | 21:12 |
| alkafoo | craigbass1976: you can ask it to ask people trying to remote in to provide a password, so it can be fairly secure on its own | 21:13 |
| cccangel | alkafoo or notlistening, any idea on how to get my headset useable in ubuntu without rebooting the whole machine each time i want to use it? | 21:13 |
| alkafoo | it's like, ssh is realy secure, but not even having ssh running is _really_ secure =P | 21:13 |
| alkafoo | cccangel: if rebooting fixes it, then... | 21:14 |
| alkafoo | cccangel: you're probably losing a service or something to do with udev | 21:14 |
| notlistening | cccangel, when i plugin my usb camera to get the mic working i have to select is an a input in sound properties before it works | 21:14 |
| alkafoo | rebooting is the mean/tedious/silly way of restarting services | 21:14 |
| cccangel | yeah what service would a usb input/output headset be under? | 21:15 |
| alkafoo | I can only imagine it has something to do with audio (pulse, alsa, etc.) or udev (devices) | 21:16 |
| cccangel | well it shows up when i type "aplay -l" | 21:16 |
| craigbass1976 | kermit, nothingspecial alkafoo: Awesome, I got it. Now they've moved onto the wii though, and are cooperating. Star Wars will do that to you I guess... | 21:17 |
| cccangel | and it shows up in sound preferences under the hardware tab. | 21:17 |
| alkafoo | cccangel: when it's working or when it isn't? | 21:17 |
| cccangel | its not working atm | 21:17 |
| alkafoo | ha, gaming consoloe redundancy | 21:17 |
| cccangel | alkafoo, its not working atm and when i "Test Speakers" it crashes the "Sound Preferences" dialog | 21:18 |
| alkafoo | maybe your audio stack has become not sane | 21:18 |
| notlistening | Fighting over computer games = banned for life (i'd make a harsh dad) | 21:18 |
| alkafoo | maybe you should just remove pulse =) or maybe you don't have pulse and you should add it | 21:18 |
| alkafoo | we didn't do turns in my house | 21:19 |

| alkafoo | cccangel: you should I'm pretty sure it's still default in Ubuntu | 21:19 |
| alkafoo | it causes some people problems, particularly with certain hardware | 21:20 |

| sammy | sven^: I think you're looking to edit dpkg-selections. you can use a command to 'get' the selections, dump them into a file, edit the package you wish to put on hold, then you can load the newly saved file into the dpkg-selections database. try googling that with any luck, Ive done it recently but Id have to google again to find specifics. | 22:01 |

| sven^ | k, thanks sammy | 22:01 |
| mikeypizano | i get an error saying that it failed to extract the upgrade and there may be a problem with the network or the serve | 22:01 |
| JLuc | it imported one key but no ultimate key | 22:01 |
| JLuc | now i type the 2 lines with deb and deb-src ? | 22:02 |
| Gentoo64 | mikeypizano, probably because its old | 22:02 |
| Gnea | cccangel: it's a terminal program, so you should start by opening a terminal (apps->accessories->terminal) and then typing: cat /proc/asound/cards see how many are listed after you plugged it in | 22:02 |
| mikeypizano | yes, but is there a repo i can add so i can do the upgrade? | 22:02 |
| Gentoo64 | mikeypizano, no idea. why dont you use a newer one? | 22:02 |
| cccangel | Gnea, ok i got that. | 22:02 |
| sven^ | sammy: http://fosswire.com/post/2008/08/exclude-packages-from-being-installed-and-upgraded-in-debianubuntu/ thanks ;). Should have googled right away ;) | 22:02 |
| cccangel | Gnea, i also went into alsamixer and turned up the volume on my headset... | 22:02 |
| mikeypizano | becuase this is the only cd i could get that wanted to boot on this old computer | 22:03 |
| cccangel | Gnea, however sound preferences wont allow me to select it as an input nor output device for audio | 22:03 |
| JLuc | but deb command is not found urlin2u | 22:03 |
| Gnea | cccangel: oh good, you found that. you'll need to make sure you have the pulseaudio device chooser installed and running so you can choose it to output to | 22:04 |
| JLuc | ubuntu is sure not for Oma | 22:04 |
| cccangel | Gnea, i take its not installed by default? | 22:05 |
| Gnea | cccangel: correct | 22:05 |
| cccangel | Gnea, whats its package name? | 22:05 |
| lnx1 | Gnea, thanks! by the way, i know there are some scripts that can be run, but i cannot get them to work, its got to the stage where the company are will to pay for a product, if there is one of course... | 22:06 |
| alternut | anyone know some good gps mapping packages for ubuntu? | 22:06 |
| Gnea | cccangel: actually, it may not be necessary - left-click on your sound icon at the top, then go to 'sound preferences', see if you can select it there first.... | 22:06 |
| KNUBBIG | Hey guys, I got a technician who installed a webcam which saves data via FTP/Samba on my server's external drive. He said it would be better for the FS to be NTFS/FAT. Is there any reason for that? FTP/Samba hides the FS, doesn't it? Thanks! | 22:06 |
| cccangel | Gnea, yeah thats whats iffy. it shows up in the hardware tab but it wont let me select it in the input nor output tab. And my only fix i found is to reboot my machine... so... something is faulty (somewhere) | 22:07 |
| SIFTU | KNUBBIG: yep, doesnt matter about the filesystem | 22:07 |
| bassliner | KNUBBIG: go slap your technician with a chainsaw. | 22:07 |
| KNUBBIG | thanks! | 22:07 |
| Gnea | cccangel: perhaps pulse just needs to be restarted after it's plugged in? that is strange... | 22:08 |
| cccangel | Gnea, ya someone already had me try "sudo service pulseaudio restart" but it didnt work. | 22:09 |
| bassliner | KNUBBIG: when using an external hard drive with ntfs under linux, you'll probably use fuse, which will have massive impact on performance. if you can avoid that, do it. from your description, i was not able to mentally construct your scenario though. | 22:09 |
| cccangel | Gnea, unless there is another service that needs a restart. | 22:09 |
| KNUBBIG | bassliner: where did I miss out something that would help you? | 22:10 |
| bassliner | KNUBBIG: so you have a server attached to your lan, where you want to store images that your workstation that has a camera attached to it, and the workstation transfers data to the server via smb or ftp? | 22:10 |
| Gnea | lnx1: this tends to be an okay reference: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/technology/981157/ | 22:10 |
| bassliner | KNUBBIG: like, there is no fat/ntfs on the workstation? | 22:11 |
| KNUBBIG | bassliner: no, it's a cam independant of any computer. It just works as an addressable webcam attached to LAN | 22:11 |
| Gnea | cccangel: well, there is that (the system-wide service) and then there's the user-level service (the one that's started everytime you login from the GUI) | 22:11 |
| Gnea | cccangel: have you tried just logging out then logging back in? | 22:11 |
| bassliner | KNUBBIG: ah fine. so if your server is running linux, then using ntfs/fat is b*llsh*t. | 22:11 |
| cccangel | Gnea, lemme check that | 22:12 |
| Gnea | cccangel: k | 22:12 |
| KNUBBIG | bassliner: thanks, that's what I thought. Sorry for the bad explanation :) | 22:12 |
| bassliner | KNUBBIG: you're welcome. :) | 22:12 |

| JamesT_ | Hi, I mentioned this in the ubuntu server channel as well but hopefully someone here can help. I am having trouble connecting my ubuntu server machine to my university campus wifi. The details we are given about the network are here: http://www.ucc.ie/en/sit/network/wireless/tech/ This is my wpa_supplicant.conf http://pastebin.com/WnrpP3j5 It seems to be connecting (according to iwconfig). But dhclient doesnt work. | 22:18 |
| JLuc | so its downloading the ppa urlin2u | 22:19 |

| GunClive | hi. do usb sticks that are automatically mounted when inserting under ubuntu need a clean umount when removing them? thanks. | 22:20 |
| urlin2u | antibody, check the post right after mine from Walex2 | 22:20 |
| Wiz_KeeD | hey everyone | 22:20 |
| antibody | I know but how can I check everything automatically? | 22:20 |
| Walex2 | antibody: a bit of work unfortunately. But nearly all packages should be fine. You'll get a list of failed checksums | 22:20 |
| urlin2u | GunClive, best to yes right click and safely remove drive | 22:21 |
| antibody | how? | 22:21 |
| Walex2 | antibody: look at 'man debsums' and you can get a list of packages installed in '/var/lib/dpkg/info' | 22:21 |
| E3D3 | Synaptics says that I have to do: dpkg --configure -a but that process repeats itself endlessly. What should I do ? | 22:21 |
| antibody | ty | 22:21 |
| Walex2 | antibody: silly me, you can just do 'debsums -c -a' | 22:22 |
| antibody | tyvm | 22:22 |
| galaxyforest | anyone can help me setting up the brightness to the function keys in a samsung rv411 (they're actually set up but the brightness doesn't change) | 22:22 |
| Walex2 | antibody: also note the example "Reinstalls packages with changed files." in 'man debsums' | 22:23 |
| bx-gh | If all mb don't implement an option to disable uefi, what you kernel devs do? | 22:23 |
| Walex2 | galaxyforest: that may be impossible if the laptop-specific way to change brightness does not work. | 22:24 |
| urlin2u | galaxyforest, you using a monitor with that lappy | 22:24 |
| Walex2 | galaxyforest: however to start you should bind the keybodes for those function keys to bind to the keysyms for brightness up and down. | 22:24 |
| Gnea | cccangel: pulseaudio-utils or pulseaudio-module-gconf | 22:24 |
| Walex2 | galaxyforest: there are probably lots of examples on the web for similar laptops. | 22:24 |

| og01 | Hi im about to setup a raid array and mount it in a non-standard location. I want it to get remounted on boot - how do i manage the setup of the array on boot? | 22:42 |
| tomodachi | og01: doesent mdadm assemble it for you automatically? | 22:43 |
| og01 | im not sure is there a init script that does it on boot? | 22:43 |
| og01 | In the (far distant) past (not on ubuntu) i wrote my own startup script | 22:44 |
| tomodachi | og01: do you need it on boot? or is after boot ok? | 22:44 |

| GunClive | got a mount problem. this does not work: sudo mount -t ext3 -o rw sync /dev/sdc1 /media/0 why? thanks | 22:44 |
| boltR | anyone know a package for displaying sys uptime on the web? | 22:45 |
| og01 | tomodachi: perhaps before fstab get read? | 22:45 |
| tomodachi | well if you have a configuration file for mdadm, it will assemble the array for you automatically. Then having it in fstab, it will mount | 22:45 |
| === jack__ is now known as jack^_ | ||
| tomodachi | og01: i havent used mdadm for a while. Just do raid with servers. And then i prefer hardware raid. | 22:45 |
| drapedup | boltR: why not just call on the "uptime" command? | 22:45 |
| kisuke | ok can ubiquity be run from a wubi install? | 22:45 |
| jack^_ | GunClive, do you get an error? | 22:45 |
| boltR | drapedup, how would i output that through php? | 22:46 |
| tomodachi | og01: i believe mdadm will be called automagically before fstab | 22:46 |
| og01 | tomodachi: heh not in my budget :) | 22:46 |
| og01 | tomodachi: ok cool | 22:46 |
| syn-ack | I don't see why not, kisuke. Then again I don't know much about wubi. | 22:46 |
| tomodachi | og01: yeah same for me I guess if i would ever want it on something wich is mine. Make sure to enable mailing so you get status updates on how your array is doing. | 22:46 |
| jack^_ | you can get a hardware raid controller for $100. there is no need for mdadm | 22:46 |
| drapedup | boltR: i'm not sure the best way to do it, but you could run a script that pipes the output of "uptime" to a txt file and have php call on that | 22:46 |
| drapedup | boltR: i'm sure there's a more elegant way to do it, but i'm really rusty | 22:46 |
| tomodachi | jack^_: hardware controllers are often , if not bundled with a "real" server not reliable. When they brake, your raid is gone. With sw raid there is no hardware dependency | 22:47 |
| og01 | tomodachi: i'll give it a shot - box is in use atm so i didnt really want to test with a reboot | 22:47 |
| GunClive | jack_, no. mount just prints out a standard text for correct usage | 22:47 |
| og01 | tomodachi: reading the manpage you look spot on though | 22:47 |
| boltR | drapedup, hmm i'll see if there's a way to use php to call on uptime | 22:47 |
| === droid is now known as Guest25555 | ||
| kisuke | syn-ack: i jsut want to double check, cant make a CD atm and this compy's old wnought that USB is not an option | 22:47 |
| drapedup | boltR: there should be a simple way to do it. I'm sure someone's written a simple php script to do it too | 22:47 |
| tomodachi | og01: happy I could be of help. Just verify that it works. Last time i used sw raid in linux it failed me.... | 22:48 |
| jack^_ | GunClive, try removing the space between rw and sync. use a comma | 22:48 |
| drapedup | boltR: I just googled "php uptime script" and got some results... | 22:48 |
| mattalexx | Is there a command like ssh-copy-id that will install a public key on the local computer but not add it twice (like >> would)? | 22:48 |
| tomodachi | mattalexx: whats wrong with ssh-copy-id ? | 22:48 |
| jack^_ | og01, tomodachi, i missed the begining of the conversation, but you can add a command at boot time to assemble software raid if it's failing to do it automaitcally. something like `mdadm -Ac partitions -m 0 /dev/md0` | 22:49 |
| mattalexx | That's for copying the local pubkey to a remote machine. I want to copy the pubkey of another machine (in string form) to the local machine. | 22:49 |
| GunClive | jack_, i had a space at the end of the line that confused mount. lucky that i noticed.. | 22:49 |
| tomodachi | jack^_: just for my own interest not that I use mdadm ,but knowledge is always nice. where would you enter it? the grub console? | 22:49 |
| mattalexx | tomodachi, ^ | 22:49 |
| jack_ | sorry wrong jack guys | 22:50 |
| glebihan | boltR, you can use the php functions "system" or "exec" to make a system call and get its output | 22:50 |
| jack_ | this is Jack87 testing ubuntu chroot on touchpad | 22:50 |
| GunClive | jack^_, i had a space at the end of the line that confused mount. lucky that i noticed.. | 22:50 |
| jack^_ | tomodachi, it would only have to bee in grub console if you were booting from it. if its mounted after the fact you could put the command in rc.local | 22:50 |
| tomodachi | glebihan: boltR sounds a bit "unsecure" though. I would just make a bash script. that adds the uptime every 1 day to a file. Wich then php "reads" | 22:51 |
| jack^_ | tomodachi, im not sure if there is a way to do that. it shoudl be called by the ramdisk | 22:51 |
| tomodachi | jack^_: ok thanks for the intel. | 22:51 |
| glebihan | tomodachi, that's not unsecure at all | 22:51 |
| og01 | jack^_: thanks jack^_ | 22:51 |
| boltR | tomodachi, glebihan i'm wondering if there are native php functions that might serve a similar purpose | 22:52 |
| tomodachi | glebihan: if you say so :) but my solution can hardly be "less" secure! | 22:52 |
| glebihan | boltR, system and exec are native php functions | 22:52 |
| sammy | the directions on the ubuntu wiki for building a package from source from a newer distribution version (to avoid libc6 problems) leads me to an error saying it cant find the source package for said file. I've added oneiric's deb-src line and updated my package cache. nothing saying 'oneiric' shows up in the output of 'apt-cache policy' if thats significant | 22:52 |
| glebihan | tomodachi, about the same as mine actually | 22:52 |
| boltR | glebihan, oh i meant for retrieving uptime directly | 22:52 |
| jack^_ | i've haerd they're insecure. if somebody gains accesses to those commands through your public facing page they get complete access to your system | 22:52 |
| jack^_ | not that i have experience with that | 22:53 |
| boltR | glebihan, sort of like the time() function | 22:53 |
| jack^_ | boltR, you can exec the uptime command and have it print what is returned | 22:53 |
| JLuc | well it seems to be good now urlin2u | 22:53 |

| [unf] | there is no way to execute a .exe? or perhapse chmod the file? | 23:02 |
| alkafoo | Panocha: heh | 23:02 |
| alkafoo | [unf]: install wine, then run wine path/to/unlock.exe | 23:02 |
| alkafoo | [unf]: might work, might not | 23:02 |
| [unf] | just sudo apt-get install wine? | 23:02 |
| alkafoo | [unf]: it might take less time to find a Windows install and remove the password protection | 23:03 |
| alkafoo | [unf]: you can re-encrypt with something less Windows specific afterwards | 23:03 |
| alkafoo | [unf]: probably yeah, apt-cache search wine would know for sure | 23:03 |
| [unf] | oh i'm getting an error | 23:03 |

| glebihan | Mondragon, you should ask in #ubuntu-packaging | 23:07 |
| Mondragon | ah, thanks | 23:07 |
| alkafoo | ubuntu_: pretty sure you can use EasyBCD with Windows XP | 23:07 |
| alkafoo | ubuntu_: which'll make it easy to set it up so your Windows boot loader can chainload GRUB | 23:07 |
| ubuntu_ | ok thanks | 23:08 |
| alkafoo | ubuntu_: why is it you don't want to touch the windows boot loader? | 23:08 |

| RocketLauncher | i think internet sharing doesnt work because ubuntu doesnt even recognize my ethernet.. what do i do? god.. | 23:24 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: is the network interface showing with the command: ifconfig? | 23:25 |
| RocketLauncher | yeah og01 | 23:26 |
| RocketLauncher | under wired networks i never see anything even when i enable internet sharing | 23:26 |
| RocketLauncher | i'm sharing this computer's connection to another one and i use wifi here.. but i want to share it with ethernet.. | 23:26 |
| og01 | im not the best person to talk to - im not sure what this 'internet sharing' feature is (im not very ubuntuy myself - maybe someone else can chime in) | 23:27 |
| yagoo | !nat | 23:27 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, is this computer hooked "directly" to the internet? | 23:28 |
| RocketLauncher | yagoo: yes, through wifi | 23:28 |
| RocketLauncher | if that's what you mean | 23:28 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, it's probably better to get a wifi adapter for the other station.. | 23:28 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, wifi is not a direct internet connection... | 23:29 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, i'm not sure if the tools support wifi as a NAT point.. | 23:29 |
| RocketLauncher | i had a laptop running Windows 7 and it worked | 23:29 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, where's the AP ? | 23:30 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, that's windows.. but i'm not sure on linux.. | 23:30 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: its all perfectly possible | 23:30 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: but its not particularly simple stuff | 23:31 |
| RocketLauncher | aw | 23:31 |
| blacksunseven | Anyone else have issues with XBMC not listing shows/movies in Library Mode? | 23:31 |

| cProg | Hi all | 23:31 |
| cProg | My front microphone is not working. Anyone can help me to fix that problem? Thanks. I run ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, and I have followed these instructions in vain: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 23:31 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, lookup NAT wifi | 23:31 |
| RocketLauncher | ok | 23:31 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, problem is this.. | 23:31 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: yeah pretty much, you can run dnsmasq for dhcp and dns, and then route traffic via your wifi | 23:31 |
| alkafoo | cProg: laptop? | 23:32 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, you need to have WIFI documented as the WAN interface.. | 23:32 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, which means.. almost impossible documentation | 23:32 |
| cProg | alkafoo: no it is a desktop | 23:32 |
| RocketLauncher | would it just be easier for me to dual boot Windows 7 on my Pentium 4 lool | 23:32 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, you can try it.. but treat the WAN wifi interface from documentation as its a LAN interface.. | 23:33 |
| RocketLauncher | ok | 23:33 |
| og01 | yagoo: which documentation/ | 23:33 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, so instead of eth0 mentioned in documentation, think of it as wlan0 or wifi0 | 23:33 |

| StepNjump | Hi guys, I can no longer get X up and running so I logged on using a USB pen drive ubuntu. Now I would like to view my data that is still on this computer before I reinstall Ubuntu on the machine (essentially I'm trying to back up). I see my user name there but when I try to click on my old 'home' folder, permission is denied. Is it true that I need to sign in using SU so I could have access to my files? | 23:34 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, google "masquerade debian wiki" | 23:35 |
| yagoo | !masquerade | 23:35 |
| yagoo | or masquerade ubuntu wiki | 23:35 |
| RocketLauncher | ok i hope this works | 23:35 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, maybe this http://www.google.ca/search?q=masquerade+ubuntu+wiki&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a | 23:35 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: its on of those things, linux is perfect for this job - it can do pretty much any networking magic you could ever think of, but on the flip side its never as simple as you would like, and you just need to put in the time reading documentation and understanding networks in general | 23:36 |

| Jeruvy | StepNjump: I wouldn't go that route. I'd fix gdm. How did you break it? | 23:36 |
| StepNjump | Oh gosh, it's totally dead Jeruvy... I forget what happened. I think I just downloaded the updates and since then, it will only boot up in low graphics mode | 23:37 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 23:38 |
| RocketLauncher | that's what i read | 23:38 |
| StepNjump | Jeruvy, I just wanted to install on top of the current installation. Will that confuse GRUB? | 23:39 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: does your ethernet port show a link light? | 23:39 |
| Jeruvy | StepNjump: well it's your call, but I'd review the problem and fix it rather than reinstall. | 23:39 |
| flowr | HI FELLOWS MY NAME IS JOHN AND I AM 9 AND I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT LINUX I LIKE COMPUTERS HOW DO YOU INSTALL A WIN 9.11 SIMULATOR? | 23:39 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: that guide is esactly what you want to do | 23:39 |
| RocketLauncher | no og01 | 23:39 |

| StepNjump | Why Jeruvy? | 23:39 |
| swim | I'm using lucid on a dell d600 with a bcm4306 wlan card. for months the wlan has worked great. yesterday and today had router disconnect issues, now have extremely slow connection | 23:39 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: are you usinga special cross-over cable? | 23:39 |
| RocketLauncher | no | 23:39 |
| Jeruvy | StepNjump: easier, less work/time | 23:39 |
| flowr | anyone wanna cam? sexy girls, ASL? webcam? | 23:39 |
| RocketLauncher | flowr: i do but i'm not a girl and i may be small | 23:40 |
| StepNjump | Jeruvy, I'm a new user so I have almost nothing in there as far as data is concerned | 23:40 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: are you using a hub or switch between the two pc's or are you connecting computer directly to computer? | 23:40 |
| koa | hello | 23:40 |
| RocketLauncher | og01: directly to computer | 23:40 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: does this cable work udner windows? | 23:40 |
| RocketLauncher | yeah | 23:40 |
| yagoo | RocketLauncher, are you using a "cross-over" link rj45 cable? maybe u have to set it up with the driver.. or simply use a cross-over cable if the data-links don't light up | 23:40 |
| Jeruvy | StepNjump: your call, good luck. | 23:40 |
| RocketLauncher | In windows i went into the wifi adapter's settings and enabled internet sharing and it worked through ethernet somehow | 23:40 |
| og01 | yagoo: drivers can do that? | 23:41 |
| StepNjump | Jeruvy, how would you identify using the old password and old username using a pendrive? | 23:41 |
| StepNjump | should I use su? | 23:41 |
| RocketLauncher | yagoo: i dont have a crossover cable | 23:41 |
| === Guest36463 is now known as talntid | ||
| og01 | RocketLauncher: usualy if your connecting a computer directly to another computer you would need a crossover cable, but this applies to windows too | 23:41 |
| kristen | Can anyone point me in the right direction for wireless help? | 23:42 |
| Jeruvy | StepNjump: You can't. | 23:42 |
| RocketLauncher | og01: since it worked on windows could it work on ubantu | 23:42 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: unless as yagoo implied it can be managed or set these days | 23:42 |
| elky | flowr, do you plan to start behaving any time soon? | 23:42 |
| StepNjump | Jeruvy, so how an I get to my previous data under a gui environment? | 23:42 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: well yeah, it should - but the driver level autocrossing of the pairs is news to me | 23:43 |
| Jeruvy | StepNjump: take ownership of the data and move it. | 23:43 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: if you have no link light between the machines thats at the datalink level | 23:43 |
| flowr | elky: I havent behaved at all since .. umm.. 20kb of text.. aer you still waiting? :p | 23:43 |
| og01 | RocketLauncher: ie its not related to linux or windows | 23:43 |

| brylie | We have a computer lab with several Ubuntu PCs. I would like to remotely configure and update those machines. What are some good tools to consider that would allow for a centralized configuration server to be utilized for our lab computers? | 23:45 |
| koa | -.- everytime i boot kde mess up my nvidia driver and i have to install it again in order to log hlep plz T_T | 23:45 |

| Logan_ | haha | 23:48 |
| Jeruvy | false :) | 23:48 |
| yagoo | brylie, i dont think much more tools would be needed.. you'd like to set a LAN restricted repository in order to save internet bandwidth.. and add that "repo" for your machines.. (the dpkg-scanpackages tool is used to make a repo from a directory of .deb files) | 23:49 |
| brylie | OK. I would also like to do things like manage printer configurations. | 23:51 |
| og01 | brylie: rsync maybe? | 23:51 |
| og01 | brylie: and cron | 23:51 |
| yagoo | brylie, well I dont know of all the tools.. but you'd probably like to ask #cups.. there's "swat" but it's not very secure.. (there's ways to make it secure) | 23:52 |
| og01 | brylie: you can auto push certain configuration files that | 23:52 |
| og01 | *then | 23:52 |
| yagoo | og01, he doesn't need rsync.. | 23:52 |
| og01 | yagoo: sounds like a combination of rsync and cron would fullfill all the requirements he asked for? | 23:53 |
| yagoo | og01, rsync would unnecessarily mirror all .deb files.. it would sort of increase LAN activity with his LAN repo. | 23:55 |
| yagoo | a LAN repo would be sufficient (he was asking for centralized control) | 23:55 |
| og01 | yagoo: ah no i was refering to the remotely configure server machines part | 23:55 |
| yagoo | otherwise no point in calling it "centralized" :) | 23:55 |
| magpii | ok, i am admin, there is only me using my system, but i have a pid user called pypo listed in the "top" terminal command. can someone advise please | 23:55 |
| magpii | pypo is running a program called liquidsoap | 23:56 |
| SIFTU | brylie: puppet is your tool | 23:56 |
| yagoo | og01, that wouldn't be good enough.. he needs dpkg-scanpackages to make his local meta description index file | 23:57 |
| og01 | brylie: puppet++ - but i've never used it personally i've heard good things | 23:57 |
| yagoo | og01, he'd be overwriting his on index files for his repo.. | 23:57 |
| yagoo | and then he'd have to recreate his index files if he uses rsync.. | 23:57 |
| yagoo | he needs to do a one-shot copy for now.. test it out locally.. then i guess he can mess around with it later.. | 23:58 |
| urlin2u | magpii, are you streaming any audio or video? | 23:59 |
