| bastidrazor | th0r: -9 isn't always a smart idea. | 00:12 |
| magpii | ahh, so i type in a new terminal, duh, me thick lol | 00:12 |

| magpii | yes, i installed internet dj console but couldt configure it to work properly | 00:50 |

| atari2600a | can you unmount /home/ when in a guest session? | 00:50 |
| atari2600a | I want to shrink /home/ to make a partition to hold a server VM I plan to create | 00:51 |
| atari2600a | you know, to make re-imaging easier yet not have it goung through /home/'s ecryptfs bottleneck | 00:51 |
| magpii | i understand that, but i dont have the radio streaming software running yet liquid soap is still on the "top" list by user "pyro" | 00:51 |
| Stanley00 | atari2600a: I dont think so, you should do that via a liveCD | 00:51 |
| atari2600a | (it's not DMA if it's ecryptfs :P) | 00:51 |
| falthon | hola sala | 00:52 |
| atari2600a | Stanley00, yeah but that requires rebooting | 00:52 |
| th0r | magpii: there is probably a daemon involved with the radio station software that was installed as part of the package. | 00:52 |

| dr_willis | makes me wonder why he just dosent reinstall pam face authentication again... and see if it works.. | 01:38 |
| maheanuu | I have 2 of these drives that are both giving me the same error, and both ran beautifully on Ubuntu until they hiccupped and started giving me errors, I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and do NOT have windows on any maching | 01:38 |
| maheanuu | machine dammit | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | maheanuu: what error? | 01:38 |
| truepurple | Help please, I put in a CD-R, I put in the files I want to burn onto it, it goes through what seems like the process of burning the files, afterwards it ejects the disk. But when I go to put the disk back in, it acts like it is blank, and when I bring it to another computer, it looks blank to that computer too | 01:38 |
| maheanuu | dr_willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/696993/ | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | maheanuu: and there are windows rescue/recovery/repair dvds you can get to fix any bad filesystems. | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | Not everyone has a browser handy. can you at least summarize the error message. | 01:39 |
| maheanuu | I have NO computer on windoze | 01:39 |
| maheanuu | None | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | maheanuu: you CAN get a DVD that has windows on it... for free, legally, from ms.. | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | its just a 'repair' dvd you can use to check ntfs filesystem and so forth. | 01:40 |
| maheanuu | dr_willis, wow do you have more info or a lind? | 01:40 |
| dr_willis | but the fact you have no windows machines.. makes us wonder why you are using NTFS at all. | 01:40 |
| maheanuu | Link? | 01:40 |
| dr_willis | maheanuu: i think i bookmarked the link at my delicious.com/dr_willis site. I learned about the disks from the Lifehacker blog site. | 01:40 |
| maheanuu | dr_willis, I use them for storage | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | #windows would know better. | 01:41 |
| truepurple | How do I mount my DVD player BTW? | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | question is why are you using ntfs for storage :) if its a all linux setup. | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: huh? | 01:41 |
| maheanuu | I need to have the large file storage and as everyone else out here in the leeward islands are all windoze users I can let them use the drives and be able to read them | 01:42 |
| cornell | Hi, can anyone tell me how to ping a range of addresses? | 01:42 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, my DVD drive is not listed as a device, how to I get it to list so I can check the contents of the disk? | 01:42 |
| === tester_ is now known as PxGaZuZ | ||

| dr_willis | maheanuu: http://www.delicious.com/dr_willis/windows has links to the recovery disks - if you need to 'file system check' the drives. | 01:43 |
| Anubis | cornell: make it easy use nmap or install the gui version zenmap | 01:43 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: then its not a 'dvd player' :) its a dvd optical drive. a player would be an app or device that just plays dvd movies.. | 01:44 |
| Anubis | meheanuu: use samba to enable linux and windows to share resources | 01:44 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: you are putting in a dvd data disk? or are you trying to play a movie? | 01:44 |
| PxGaZuZ | hello evry1 | 01:44 |
| graingert | blacksunseven: yep | 01:44 |
| blacksunseven | graingert, name of it? | 01:44 |
| graingert | blacksunseven: it's called synergy | 01:44 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, it is a CD-R which may or may not contain data | 01:44 |
| cornell | Thanks Anubis, I'll check it out. | 01:44 |
| blacksunseven | ok, that's the one i had found. didn't know if it was legit and wanted to seek any user reviews before troubling myself with installing it and trying to get it configured | 01:45 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: if theres no data on teh disk. then you cant mount it.. | 01:45 |
| blacksunseven | how is it graingert | 01:45 |
| graingert | http://synergy-foss.org/ | 01:45 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, I thought I burned content to it, twice, but as I mentioned before, it isn't working right | 01:45 |
| graingert | blacksunseven: very good | 01:45 |
| blacksunseven | graingert, awesome, that's what I want to hear. gonna give it a shot now. | 01:45 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, it acts like it burned the data, but then it doesn't seem to be there | 01:45 |
| graingert | blacksunseven: A lot of people use it for real world stuff | 01:45 |
| sianhulo | how can i enable screensaver? | 01:45 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: burnt data to it how? | 01:45 |
| graingert | I used it to control my desktop from netbook | 01:45 |
| cornell | Of a sudden I can't "obtain addresses" from either of my WAPs, I don't know if it's the WAPs or IPCOP. | 01:45 |

| truepurple | dr_willis, the pop up that came up when I put the disk it, I mean the pop up that use to come up when I put the disk in | 01:46 |
| dr_willis | maheanuu: i never really looked at your pastebin of the error message and you never summariuzed it.. so i dont know what your original issue is. | 01:46 |
| truepurple | It even said "successfully burned" | 01:46 |
| sianhulo | urlin2u, i meant, how do i change it? | 01:47 |
| urlin2u | sian in screensaver | 01:47 |
| urlin2u | sanh | 01:47 |
| urlin2u | sianhulo, in screensaver | 01:47 |
| sianhulo | i don't have that option here | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | maheanuu: the win vista/7 recovery disk links there - let you get a windows 'rescue' type dvd you can boot and do various fs checks and other fix's. | 01:47 |
| urlin2u | sianhulo, really what distro and desktop? | 01:48 |
| sianhulo | have screen, but it only shos how long the screen will be turn on without activity | 01:48 |

| sianhulo | urlin2u, oneiric with gnome, but haven't got an response at ubuntu+1 | 01:48 |
| maheanuu | dr_willis, What is happening is that it tells me that it cannot be mounted and there are trashed files It is telling me to do a fdisk /f and then reboot 2 times and I saw that but not knowing 7 at all I wasn't sure | 01:49 |
| sianhulo | i want ubuntu to show an screensaver, right now the scrren just turn off | 01:49 |
| maheanuu | dr_willis, headed back there now | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | maheanuu: then you need to use a friends windows pc., or one of those dvd's to filesystem check the hd's | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | and make sure they safely remove usb device.. befor they unplug them :) | 01:50 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, are you still trying to help me? | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | off to work for now truepurple .. if its a data disk. try just mounting it by hand is about all i can sugegst. and check 'dmesg' command output for any errors. | 01:51 |

| scx | but i dont want change file names | 02:44 |
| kazzy | scx, you mean you don't want the extensions to be changed? | 02:46 |
| Shaba1 | I am a experianced windows user. I am just trying out linux using wubi using ubuntu 11.04. I do have ubuntu classic deskt top on since that seems more familar to me from the previous version I have tried and since it looks more like a windows desktop. My first question is how to I arrange the icons on my desktop to my liking? | 02:46 |
| sdperez79 | what is the alternative to real player?I need the flv downloader! | 02:46 |
| Shaba1 | I see only "Organize Desktop by name" when I right click | 02:46 |
| hikenboot | anyone in here install cacti with plugin architecture patch | 02:46 |
| Shaba1 | and a lot of the icon names seems to overlap each other | 02:46 |
| sdperez79 | what do i need to be able to download flv videos from anysite | 02:48 |
| Amdpc | <sdperez79> : Are you talking about youtube ? | 02:48 |
| xial | hey | 02:48 |
| sdperez79 | yes,youtube and other sites that have flv files | 02:48 |

| segol | sdperez79 I know you used to be able to pull the videos from /tmp | 02:51 |
| eblume | Hi, I have what I think is a very basic question that I'm astonished I don't know and can't find the answer to. I have a file that is owned by user X and group Y with permissions rwxrwx---. If user B is also a member of group Y, shouldn't she be able to change the permissions of the file? | 02:51 |
| Amdpc | <sdperez79> : To download from youtube,Open the video in the browser and replace the www.youtube.com/<link> with www.keep-tube.com/<link>. | 02:51 |
| Amdpc | <sdperez79> This only works for youtube...I dont know for other sites ;) | 02:52 |
| ChogyDan | sdperez79: I know there are firefox plugins that do it | 02:52 |
| segol | sdperez79 I remember someone posted a script that pulled the .flv files from wherever they're stored now | 02:53 |

| Jordan_U | eblume: "The application shall ensure that the effective user ID of the process matches the owner of the file or the process has appropriate privileges in order to do this." http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/chmod.html | 02:54 |
| segol | Shaba1 right click the desktop and uncheck "keep aligned" | 02:55 |
| === histo_ is now known as histo | ||
| Jordan_U | eblume: So, barring special odd privileges gained through other means beyond classic *NIX permissions, to change the permissions of a file you must own said file. | 02:56 |
| scx | kazzy: i tried "mogrify -format jpg *.bmp" and it works for me as i want | 02:56 |
| Shaba1 | I had that checked segol | 02:56 |
| eblume | Jordan_U: If I have a set of files which I want a group of users to be able to access, I should probably add the users to a group and make the group the group-owner of the files, right? So that works fine, but my followup question is - does what you just linked mean those users can never change the permissions of the file? | 02:56 |
| Shaba1 | but it really did not seem to do anyting | 02:56 |
| codehotter | When I type in a java web start application, sometimes it stops responding to keyboard input for several seconds, after which I can use the keyboard again. I'm giving the input to a text box, the cursor is still blinking while it does not accept my input. | 02:56 |
| scx | sdperez79: try youtube-dl | 02:57 |
| knightrage | sdperez79: missed your question, but if you're trying to grab FLVs from websites, check http://n00bsys0p.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/how-to-download-flash-10-2-video-streams-in-linux/ . don't do anything illegal :p | 02:57 |
| Jordan_U | eblume: Correct. | 02:57 |
| eblume | Jordan_U: To put it another way, is it true to say that if you have two distinct users X and Y and neither are root, you can't have it so that both X and Y can change permissions of the file? | 02:57 |
| Shaba1 | I still have some icons overlap each other | 02:57 |
| eblume | Jordan_U: I just want to be very sure I understand this. Thanks very much. :) | 02:58 |
| segol | Shaba1 the desktop itself is very limited on how it organizes, no idea why it's the only place that only allows organization by name or none at all | 02:58 |
| Jordan_U | eblume: Correct. | 02:58 |
| Shaba1 | Ok thanks segold. | 02:58 |
| Shaba1 | I guess I will just have to make folders on the desktop and organize them myself | 02:59 |
| eblume | Jordan_U: Ok, thank you very much. One other quick question. If I really, badly needed the above ability, would it be generally secure to set up a 'sudo' profile that allowed members of that group to execute commands as a non-privileged user who is the owner of those files? | 02:59 |
| scx | Shaba1: try fallback mode | 02:59 |
| eblume | Jordan_U: and thereby allow file permission changes? | 02:59 |
| sdperez79 | thanks knight rage,i just dl music videos and others for work we dont have internet out there... | 02:59 |
| Shaba1 | scx: what is fallback mode? | 03:00 |
| codehotter | eblume: It's often more productive to try to go a level higher to what you really, in the end, want to achieve, rather than insisting in doing it in a particular way that the system was not designed to accomodate. You're swimming uphill, so to speak. | 03:00 |
| Shaba1 | and how does one 'try' it? | 03:00 |
| eblume | codehotter: I absolutely do agree. Conceptually though the challenge is a requirement handed to me in which a group of users need the ability to flag a file as read-only, after it was originally generated as read-and-writeable by the group. | 03:01 |
| john | latest firefox killed my bookmarks and removed google as search engine | 03:02 |
| john | can't say I like it | 03:02 |
| === derp is now known as derpy | ||
| eblume | codehotter: I absolutely 100% agree that it's a flawed requirement to begin with due to the fact that having the permission to change security means that setting a file as read-only doesn't provide any actualy security. But it's a requirement. :( | 03:02 |
| eblume | s/actualy/actual/ | 03:02 |
| codehotter | eblume: It is often possible to go to your superiors and get the requirement that is handed to you changed. In many cases, figuring out what the superior really needs can save you both time and trouble | 03:02 |
| MTPrower | john: Firefox is amazing. I've never had any problems with it. Been using it for years. | 03:03 |
| eblume | codehotter: I'll do my best to try and get it changed. To give you an idea though, the PREVIOUS requirement was to have these documents synthesized as PDF's because PDF's "can't be edited". I tried very hard to explain how untrue that was and finally got it changed... to this. | 03:03 |
| eblume | Thanks everyone! I feared this was the case. | 03:03 |
| john | don't think this has anything to do with firefox, its the ubuntu extension for it that screws up | 03:04 |
| john | right now I can't even add google as search engine | 03:05 |
| qin | eblume: You can add users to same group, man chmod, man chown, man adduser. | 03:05 |
| codehotter | eblume: why are your superiors suggesting technical solutions for you to implement? You're the one with technical expertise ; ) Let them suggest what they really need - without any technical words - and let you implement the solution - which we'll help you with. But we can't help you with the specific way in which you're trying to solve the problem. | 03:05 |

| eblume | codehotter: FDA regulation is a very strange beast in which people who know nothing about software development made sometimes-specific and sometimes-vague proclamations about what is and isn't required. THis particular requirement reads something like 'after being created, patient data files must not be editable'. I'm working with the people who interpreted that as 'permissions!' to make them understand that other systems can work for | 03:07 |

| eblume | qin: I'm not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting that the users use chown to change the ownership of the file so they can then chmod? I was fairly certain that only root can chown a file | 03:08 |
| eblume | qin: or possibly the file owner, but certainly not 'group owners' | 03:09 |
| codehotter | eblume: OK, so what system is creating the patient data files? | 03:09 |
| mingdao_home | Am I the only one who feels it necessary to "export LC_COLLATE=C | 03:09 |

| ubuntu_ | hey guys can any1 give some quick advice with dual booting | 03:10 |
| ubuntu_ | anyyonnee? | 03:11 |
| john | I really hope this is _not_ a planned feature of Ubuntu or this release of the distro will be the last one | 03:11 |
| devkorcvince | ubuntu_: FORMAT C: | 03:11 |
| devkorcvince | ubuntu_: Joke | 03:11 |
| ubuntu_ | OH NO TOO LATE I DID IT | 03:11 |
| ubuntu_ | NOO WTF IS HAPPENING | 03:11 |
| FloodBot1 | ubuntu_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:12 |
| ToZ | john, I just had a Firefox update come through thats fixed the search engine problem | 03:12 |
| devkorcvince | ubuntu_: If your running windows and ubuntu install windows first then install ubuntu second in separate part... | 03:12 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: ive done that however | 03:12 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: it is now asking me which partition to install ubuntu itself onto | 03:13 |
| Ibis | By any chance, while working in a Terminal for Ubuntu-Server, will it ask you, or inform you that you need to Reboot the server when it makes Updates that requires a reboot for it to take effect? | 03:13 |
| john | how the heck did they manage to get _every_ search engine to be broken | 03:13 |
| john | ;/ | 03:13 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: but I can't tell which partition I should install ubuntu on, because it wont let me view any of them in archive so I can't tell which one had data on it, | 03:13 |
| Ibis | I don't want to reboot my srver for no reason. | 03:13 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: do you think if I have one that has 1572 MB its enough to install ubuntu onto? | 03:14 |
| devkorcvince | ubuntu_: just install to the blank part? did you setup your partitions? | 03:14 |
| Stanley00 | Ibis: I dont think there will be one, | 03:14 |
| Ibis | Stanley00: Then how would I know when to reboot? | 03:14 |
| penos | i think ubuntu should have based unity on gnome 3 not gnome 2 | 03:14 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: it doesnt let me set up my partitions it just says "full installation *OR* something else and then leads me to this, showing me the partitions that exist and saying to pick one | 03:14 |
| Stanley00 | Ibis: anyway, reboot after update is a acceptable reason ;) | 03:15 |
| ChogyDan | penos: I don't think it is based on either | 03:15 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | penos | 03:15 |
| ubottu | penos: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:15 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: then it says if I pick "new partition table" that it will delete all current partitions if i make a new one.... | 03:15 |
| Ibis | But I would rather bee seen as a reliable server host :S | 03:16 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: So if I install ubuntu onto my Windows Recovery Environment will it cause no problems?? | 03:16 |
| ubuntu_ | I dont even have a windows disk | 03:16 |
| codehotter | Ibis: you reboot during your maintenance windows, which you've specified in your (formal or informal) service level agreement with your customers. | 03:16 |
| ubuntu_ | cus the windows recovery environment loader has like 6614 MB | 03:17 |
| devkorcvince | ubuntu_: Click The Advance or Manual Button to setup partitions... then you will find your window partion labeled with ntfs... | 03:17 |
| tnud | Hi, I'm having problems running a bash script (running a jar) under cron, it starts fine but gets an exception during the process. I've activated the root account and added it to its crontab. Still same issue :/ Is there some variables I can set so it uses the same java and dirs as another user? | 03:17 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: K ill try that but just so you know it lists all 5 of them as NTFS right now lol | 03:17 |
| tnud | This does not happen when I run it as the user or as root regularly | 03:18 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: Where is the Advance or Manual button it's not in the install options.. | 03:18 |
| ubuntu_ | D: | 03:18 |
| codehotter | tnud: What is the exception? | 03:18 |
| devkorcvince | ubuntu_: For safer way to partition. go back to your window and delete the partition that you want ubuntu to be installed in... | 03:19 |
| tnud | codehotter: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /root/.tectonicus/native/liblwjgl.so: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/jre/lib/amd64/libjawt.so: symbol awt_FreeDrawingSurface, version SUNWprivate_1.1 not defined in file libmawt.so with link time reference | 03:19 |
| tnud | It's a minecraft map renderer.. | 03:19 |
| codehotter | tnud: I recommend that you do not run applications as root | 03:19 |
| tnud | Yes I know | 03:19 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: Ugh but I have a completely empty disk drive right now so i'd just rather use that | 03:20 |
| tnud | I'm testing running it as root to find the problem | 03:20 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: cus its using nothing now, but thing i s i just dont know how to select it in this install menu | 03:20 |
| tnud | cause it isn't working running as user dell either | 03:20 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, you have 2 HD's | 03:20 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: OH ok how do I tell which one is that smaller empty one? to install onto? | 03:20 |
| devkorcvince | devkorcvince: For easy dual boot install window first... | 03:20 |
| codehotter | tnud: can you paste the exception from your non-root user please? | 03:20 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, you can run fdisk -l in the terminal y=to identify ut then use the something else inthe palcement | 03:21 |
| devkorcvince | ubuntu_: For easy dual boot install window first... cause it would be pain for you to restore grub if you install ubuntu first | 03:21 |
| urlin2u | it* | 03:21 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince: my windows is installed already | 03:21 |
| ubuntu_ | devckorcvince: im on the ubuntu CD atm | 03:22 |
| ubuntu_ | devkorcvince* | 03:22 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: while installing windows, did you explicitly leave space for ubuntu on your harddisk? Otherwise, windows may have claimed all the available space as NTFS (windows' filesystem) | 03:22 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, can you run the fdisk -l and pastebin it? | 03:22 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: OK Ill run that | 03:22 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: I have one of my disk drives empty for it , a really small one | 03:22 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: but yea its all labled NTFS | 03:23 |
| ubuntu_ | so fdisk -l is safe? | 03:23 |
| tnud | codehotter: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/dell/.tectonicus/native/liblwjgl.so: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/jre/lib/amd64/libjawt.so: symbol awt_FreeDrawingSurface, version SUNWprivate_1.1 not defined in file libmawt.so with link time reference | 03:23 |

| Shaba1 | and saved me from having to repartition my HD | 03:23 |
| tnud | This only happens when running through cron | 03:23 |
| ubuntu_ | wtf | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | i put in fdisk -l and nothing happeened | 03:24 |
| zykotick9 | ubuntu_, FYI you need to use "sudo fdisk -l" to see anything listed. urlin2u note. | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | oh | 03:24 |
| tnud | sudo makes the world go around | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | OK now I see this fdisk menu | 03:24 |
| urlin2u | zykotick9, live cd | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | yea i havent used ubuntu in like 2 years so i forgot about sudo lol | 03:24 |
| tnud | :P | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u the livecd worked with sudo though | 03:24 |
| urlin2u | Shaba1, read this before you get ti used to wubi http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ | 03:24 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: anyways I see this fdisk menu now , now what.. lol its the same stuff that shows up on my "install" menu | 03:25 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, tep | 03:25 |
| urlin2u | yep* | 03:25 |
| ubuntu_ | ?? oh you wanted me to copy paste results right | 03:25 |
| codehotter | tnud: You've confirmed you're running the same command in cron as in your terminal? Can you pastebin your environment? | 03:25 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, pastebin it so we can identify the place you want ubuntu. | 03:25 |
| tnud | exactly the same | 03:25 |
| john | menu seems to be stuck on previous apps more often than not now | 03:25 |
| tnud | same script | 03:25 |

| urlin2u | ubuntu_, so are you backed up as of now? | 03:27 |
| === tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding | ||
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: no, not really but I figured aslong as I don't install overtop of my windows and erase all my shit im good | 03:28 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: bcus I did it like that before... i know you're not suposed to but its gonna take a while to reboot into windows and have to backup all my crap onto disks, I have ALOT of crap lol | 03:28 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, yo will have to loose a partition, as you have 4 primaries the limit, so back up first , and figure which one you can loose, | 03:29 |
| ubuntu_ | like the way i did it 2 years ago was i just installed onto new partition, and then could view my windows files thru ubuntu's (whatever u call the windows explorer equivalent) and then dragged them | 03:29 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u I'm pretty sure SDA1 and SDA4 are OK to lose right | 03:29 |
| ubuntu_ | i mean the one with the * is the one that has windows on it right | 03:29 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, I don't know whats in them you do, so what is there? | 03:30 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: I would reinstall windows and leave some free space in the windows setup to be honest | 03:30 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: I have nothing on any of my drives except the C drive which I have windows installed on | 03:30 |
| codehotter | unless you're absolutely confident that you know what is on those partitions and that you don't need it. | 03:30 |
| ubuntu_ | thing is codehotter I dont have any windows install disk it came with this laptop | 03:30 |
| Shaba1 | ok I have the .deb for google chrome | 03:30 |
| Shaba1 | How do I install it? | 03:30 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: and also I have no files on anything but my main C drive | 03:31 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: OK, so you added an empty extra drive, that is to say, a physical hard disk, to your computer, so you can install ubuntu? | 03:31 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: no it was always there since I first got this comp, i dont know why maybe just for extra storage space like music or something | 03:31 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: OK. Do you have windows 7? | 03:32 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: no vista | 03:32 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: I dono where you went buddy but I wanna say thx for halping me and I love u bro | 03:32 |
| escott | Shaba1, chromium-browser is in apt | 03:32 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, I think sda1 is to small, sda3 and sda4 are both small how much space do you want | 03:33 |
| Shaba1 | so just type sudo apt-get install Chromium-brower in a terminal window escott ? | 03:33 |
| john | search engines back, rollback of bookmarks seems to fail | 03:33 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: oh yeah I know they're all super small but thing is I was thinking, after I install ubuntu doesn't it give me option to resize the partitions | 03:33 |
| escott | Shaba1, unless you care for the google branding that would probably be better | 03:33 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, you running W7? | 03:34 |
| tnud | codehotter: http://pastebin.com/DjYqjLH2 wow.. | 03:34 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: so I could take size off of the main huge windows one that isn't being used | 03:34 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: no VISTA | 03:34 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: To do this safely, you need to backup your files and shrink your NTFS volume. | 03:34 |
| tnud | codehotter: one is quite a bit smaller then the first :P | 03:34 |
| Shaba1 | google branding? | 03:34 |
| Shaba1 | what is that? | 03:34 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: It'll take like 4 hours to backup all my files though, also I dono how to shrink the volume | 03:34 |
| tnud | codehotter: or maybe I just failed the pipe? env > /home/dell/env.txt ? | 03:34 |
| escott | Shaba1, i dont know exactly what the difference is, but its presumably not in the code. its only in the name, and one is from google the other is just recompiled from the same code. so one has the branding the other doesnt | 03:35 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: but do you know, after you install ubuntu does it give you an option to resize partitions etc.? Like I could take the unused space of the huge partition using windows and add that unused space to the one using Ubuntu? | 03:36 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: of course I recommend to backup your files regardless ~ ~ ~ | 03:36 |
| escott | ubuntu_, you want to resize before installing | 03:36 |
| ubuntu_ | oh man how do u resize... | 03:36 |
| MTPrower | Hello awesome fun peeps. I need some newbie help. | 03:36 |
| escott | ubuntu_, use gparted which is on the livecd part of the livecd | 03:36 |
| codehotter | tnud: I think the pipe worked OK | 03:36 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_ theoretically yes, but I think your not being backed up here is raising red flags for all of us to be honest. | 03:37 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu_, no recovery disc ethier | 03:37 |
| ubuntu_ | urlin2u: oh I know what you mean and thx for the concern even i am sort of concerned about that | 03:37 |
| rww | ubuntu_: resizing partitions without backing up is a really bad idea | 03:37 |
| ubuntu_ | really | 03:37 |
| rww | do not do that. | 03:37 |
| ubuntu_ | o dang | 03:37 |
| rww | yes, really. | 03:37 |
| ubuntu_ | OK | 03:37 |
| ubuntu_ | so if I dont resize anything | 03:37 |
| FloodBot1 | ubuntu_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:37 |
| ubuntu_ | and just create a new one out of the empty ones I have, is that safe? | 03:38 |
| rww | sigh | 03:38 |
| rww | just do yourself a favor and make a backup | 03:38 |
| ubuntu_ | rww: yeah Sigh because never backing up can't be safe but I'm talking about in comparison isn't it safer | 03:38 |
| rww | it'll take four hours, but presumably will take longer than four hours to recreate if it breaks | 03:38 |
| devkorcvince | ubuntu_: urlin2u : i think his recovery disc is the hidden partition but im not sure... my hp dv6 has a hidden part that has a full factory recovery inside it. | 03:38 |
| ubuntu_ | rww: Lol. OK fine I'll backup , you mean just put my important files onto a disk right | 03:39 |
| MTPrower | So ummm... when you have MP3's on Windows, album art is created and stored in the same folder as the MP3's. I dunno what Kubuntu does. But the album art is hidden on Windows, out of sight. That same album art is in plain site in Kubuntu. Can I make that album art invisible in Kubuntu like it is in Windows? | 03:39 |

| tnud | codehotter: Now how do I get crontab to work with dell or root environment.. Is there an alternative program that doesn't ahve this problem? | 03:46 |
| codehotter | tnud: please don't consider running as root | 03:46 |
| codehotter | tnud: it's irresponsible | 03:47 |
| mingdao_home | MTPrower: to answer your question demands asking somem questions ... are you game? | 03:47 |
| codehotter | tnud: Do you get the error if you run (in your normal terminal, in the directory /home/dell ? | 03:47 |
| tnud | codehotter: Sorry haha | 03:47 |
| somsip | DropsOfSerenity: I've had no end of problems with that and found recommendations to stick to skype_2.1.0.81,which I do and all is fine | 03:47 |
| Shaba2 | Well that was strange | 03:47 |
| Shaba2 | I just got a black sreen of death | 03:47 |
| MTPrower | mingdao_home: yeah. Shoot. | 03:47 |
| === Shaba2 is now known as Shaba1 | ||
| tnud | codehotter: No | 03:48 |
| netzsooc | so, escott, you suggest just to install the different distros with no sharing home? | 03:48 |
| netzsooc | but then documents would be all over | 03:48 |
| mingdao_home | MTPrower: who is the album art hidden *from* on windows, and who do you want to hide it from in buntu? | 03:48 |
| tnud | codehotter: cd /home/dell and then ./path/to/script works | 03:48 |
| urlin2u | netzsooc, you can have a shared partition with documents..etc | 03:49 |
| codehotter | tnud: OK, I notice PATH is different, that may be relevant. Can you try setting PATH at the top of your script? | 03:49 |
| mingdao_home | MTPrower: because in windows it's just someone's idea of how to display files/directories that can easily be changed | 03:49 |
| tnud | codehotter: How do I do that and what should it contain :O | 03:49 |
| MTPrower | mingdao_home: the album art is hidden from everybody in Windows. All you have to do is go to Folder Options > View > show hidden files and folders. It's basically used for files that need to be there but do not need to be seen. | 03:50 |
| codehotter | copy the line starting with PATH= from the output of env in your normal terminal | 03:50 |
| Anon2553 | I have a quick question if anyone can help. Running Ubuntu Server 11.04, this is probably an easy question. But out of the blue, I can't see anything I type into console. It's making things difficult in the realm of typos. Everything still works as normal if I type it properly, but long commands are a headache | 03:50 |
| escott | netzsooc, i would be wary of sharing $HOME/.config. perhaps create a partition with folders for the different parts of home (Documents,Downloads etc) and symlink into that mountpoint | 03:50 |
| codehotter | and put it near the top of your script | 03:50 |
| netzsooc | urlin2u and then each distro will have its own /home but sharing docs and stuff? but what about preferences for some apps | 03:50 |
| mingdao_home | MTPrower: in a Linux distro you have the ability to do similar depending upon your DE/WM/file browser | 03:50 |
| mingdao_home | MTPrower: the question is ... why is it important to hide these files? Linux (generically) is a true multiuser system and as such your files as a user should no even be visible to "everybody" | 03:51 |
| MTPrower | mingdao_home: I don't want to hide the album art in Linux, literally. I just want to make it invisible. | 03:51 |
| urlin2u | netzsooc, I would have a single partition with each distro, and a shred for the docs, music,etc and one swap, I have 7 OS on my one drive just like that except for the share partition | 03:52 |
| mingdao_home | MTPrower: then ask "How do I make directories 'invisible' in <file browser>?" | 03:52 |
| urlin2u | shred=shared | 03:52 |
| tnud | codehotter: Nope, still same error | 03:52 |
| mingdao_home | MTPrower: and there I can't help you because I *never* use one :-) | 03:52 |
| MTPrower | mingdao_home: you don't understand. I'm not hiding it from people. I'm not protecting it. I'm hiding it from view. The reason is because it's album art in an MP3 folder. Without the album art there, there would be no album art in the MP3 files. However, I don't want to see the art in the folder-- no one would. I just want to see the music. | 03:52 |
| escott | MTPrower, folders that begin with "." are not shown in the listings. that is how you hide folders | 03:53 |
| netzsooc | ok, so if I don't move /home how do I create a specific disc for /home/Docs /home/Music /home/Downloads etc... any manual or how to on that? | 03:53 |
| codehotter | tnud: OK. You want the script to work under crontab, but you probably don't want to just copy your whole environment over. Are you familiar with binary search? | 03:53 |
| tnud | I've implemented it in java once | 03:53 |
| tnud | That's about it :P | 03:54 |
| escott | netzsooc, create a partition and inside it have Docs,Music,etc... then either symlink $HOME/Documents to /media/myfolder/Docs or modify .config/user-dirs.dirs | 03:54 |
| MTPrower | escott: I can't change the name of these files. If I did, Windows would not be able to see them. I'm dual-booting Kubuntu and Windows 7, and I'm sharing my videos, music, and comics between the two OS's | 03:54 |
| codehotter | tnud: near the top of your script, put ". /tmp/environment" - this will cause it to run /tmp/environment. Then, first, put the output from your normal terminal in /tmp/environment, run your script, and see if you get the error | 03:54 |
| MTPrower | *Windows would not be able to see = the MP3 would not see the art | 03:54 |
| MTPrower | escott: *Windows would not be able to see = the MP3 would not see the art | 03:55 |
| escott | MTPrower, its just not going to work then, unless you modify the ntfs-3g code to rename the NTFS hidden folders on the fly to .foldername | 03:55 |
| giiker2 | anyone knows of an app to edit pdf files where I can have the option of adding restrictions (print,edit,copy,etc.) or watermarks, encryption? | 03:55 |
| MTPrower | escott: I'm not hiding a folder. I'm hiding files | 03:56 |
| tnud | codehotter: so force the script to load the whole environment then? | 03:56 |
| sgerbino | does anyone know if eclipse indigo will make it in to 11.10? anyway I can find out? | 03:56 |
| MTPrower | escott: if I hide the folder, I won't be able to get to my music | 03:56 |
| codehotter | tnud: step 2: take out the bottom half of the environment and see if it still works | 03:56 |
| urlin2u | sgerbino, yes in ubuntu+1 | 03:56 |
| escott | MTPrower, whatever you are trying to do, I'm trying to tell you that it cannot be easily done | 03:57 |
| sgerbino | urlin2u whats ubuntu+1? | 03:57 |
| codehotter | tnud: if it still works, take out the bottom half of the top half, and see if it still works. Etc. Until you have the minimum you need to get it to work | 03:57 |
| tnud | codehotter: ahahaha, good idea :P | 03:57 |
| urlin2u | sgerbino, the oneiric channel | 03:57 |
| codehotter | tnud: make sure you run the script with env -i /path/to/script | 03:57 |
| codehotter | to prevent it from inheritting the environment from your terminal | 03:57 |
| escott | giiker2, those restrictions usually are ineffective, so most open-source software doesn't even bother to implement them | 03:58 |
| sgerbino | urlin2u: I'm using oneiric now, but it seems like I still have Galileo | 03:58 |
| netzsooc | escott, something like ln --symbolic newPartition/Docs $HOME/Documents or the other way around? | 03:58 |
| MTPrower | ...have any of you guys ever used Windows 7? Because it seems that the ones offering support to me don't know much about it. | 03:58 |
| sgerbino | urlin2u: I also purged and re-installed | 03:58 |
| tnud | codehotter: wait.. so env -i $(cat /home/dell/normalEnv.txt) /path/to/script ? | 03:58 |
| escott | netzsooc, pretty much | 03:58 |
| MTPrower | ...actually, they didn't seem to know much about Windows in general | 03:59 |
| escott | netzsooc, you'll have to remove the existing folder first | 03:59 |
| codehotter | nono, put ". /home/dell/normalEnv.txt" in your scrpit itself, then run it with env -i /path/to/script | 03:59 |
| tnud | ah | 03:59 |
| urlin2u | sgerbino, all things oneiric are on #ubuntu+1 it will be on this channel at realeae. :D | 03:59 |
| codehotter | is the .txt a nasty habit from your windows days? ; ) | 03:59 |
| MTPrower | ...Windows 7 was a nearly-perfect OS. It seems Linux can't do some basic Windows tasks that I had taken for granted. Like having invisible files... | 04:00 |
| urlin2u | release* | 04:00 |
| escott | MTPrower, it can it just does them differently | 04:00 |
| MTPrower | escott: probably, but it sure doesn't do them as easily | 04:00 |
| Ibis | MTPrower: You was the one askign for chat clients the other day, right? | 04:00 |
| segol | Can only get 960x529 @ 0Hz apparently on an IBM G78 6627-4AN being pushed by an Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 03), I know this screen and GPU can do 1600x1200@60Hz as well as 1024x768@85Hz | 04:00 |
| ex0 | rofl u can do steganography in linux... | 04:00 |
| MTPrower | Ibis: dun remember. I got Pidgin the other day. Now I'm trying the one built in | 04:01 |
| netzsooc | then would be mv -r $HOME/Documents /media/newPart/Docs && rm -r $HOME/Documents && ln --symbolic /media/newPart/Docs $HOME/Documents | 04:02 |
| giiker2 | escott, I know, but Iḿ trying to do it 'cause I don't want the receiver to be able to do that! they use Winblows!! | 04:02 |
| MTPrower | Ibis: we did talk a lot the other day though | 04:03 |
| MTPrower | Ibis: and I'm pretty new | 04:03 |
| tnud | codehotter: HMM, still failing.. In crontab: 2 6 * * * env -i /path/to/script | in script . /home/dell/normalEnv ? | 04:03 |
| codehotter | tnud: try without crontab, just from your normal terminal | 04:03 |
| netzsooc | esoctt, then it would be mv -r $HOME/Documents /media/newPart/Docs && rm -r $HOME/Documents && ln --symbolic /media/newPart/Docs $HOME/Documents | 04:03 |
| codehotter | env -i /path/to/script | 04:03 |
| giiker2 | anyone knows of an app to edit pdf files where I can have the option of adding restrictions (print,edit,copy,etc.) or watermarks, encryption? | 04:04 |
| escott | netzsooc, i would do those as seperate commands just to be able to verify the work in between but yes | 04:04 |
| Ibis | MTPrower: Look in the private chat window. I've queried you. | 04:04 |
| tnud | codehotter: Getting a lot of command not found | 04:04 |
| tnud | codehotter: looks like the LS_COLORS bit | 04:05 |
| netzsooc | ok.. thanks a lot escott, and how much would you advise to let the Docs Music Download and stuff partition in order to let enough room to several distros? | 04:05 |
| codehotter | tnud: OK, what if you put quotes around every line? | 04:06 |
| === Freejack is now known as Guest80509 | ||
| urlin2u | giiker2, that is a lot to want I doubt you will get that info here, the web has lists of apps you will have to search I think. | 04:06 |
| codehotter | tnud: sed -ie "s/\(.*\)/\"\1\"/" /home/dell/normalEnv.txt | 04:07 |
| escott | netzsooc, du -sh $HOME and account for whatever growth you expect | 04:08 |
| giiker2 | urlin2u: I did not mean to make a list, but just options, sorry, right now I'm trying apps from the Software center, but it takes time, I just need some app that some how can block other people from printing the pdfs at least! | 04:08 |
| tomvolek | HI , I have a dual boot system, I have a data parition which is writeable by both windows and ubuntu. This parition'sowner is plugdev. Why is that ? | 04:08 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: according to what? | 04:08 |
| codehotter | gliker2: If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to prevent other people from printing your PDF? | 04:08 |
| ram0042 | Hello #ubuntu, I am setting up a DHCP server. Can any help? | 04:08 |
| cdh473 | tomvolek: have you tried putting the harddrive in a microwave? | 04:09 |
| giiker2 | urlin2u: I laready searched the net, and found dozens of them, that's why I came here | 04:09 |
| tomvolek | heh :) | 04:09 |
| escott | tomvolek, because linux and windows permissions are different so it uses plugdev to control access to windows format drives | 04:09 |
| alkafoo | giiker2: dozens of what? | 04:09 |
| giiker2 | alkafoo: of apps | 04:09 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: it's probably because it was auto-mounted, which is probably plugdev's domain | 04:09 |
| alkafoo | giiker2: for what? | 04:10 |
| tomvolek | thanks escott, someone had set this box for me .a beginner here | 04:10 |
| giiker2 | alkafoo: really? | 04:10 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: if you want more control, use /etc/fstab | 04:10 |
| alkafoo | giiker2: really what? | 04:10 |
| * alkafoo just got here | 04:10 | |
| GameBoy | i just scheduled a job using the command at... >> at 21:05 and the script to be executed was just echo testing.. but i couldnt find anything being run. plz help | 04:10 |
| tomvolek | ls shows 770 for permision, I am trying to use this parition as a place to put mysql replciation log files ... | 04:10 |
| alkafoo | GameBoy: you'd have to have told it to echo somewhere you could've seen | 04:10 |
| tnud | codehotter: Well it worked if I just quoted the lines that were affected (like so XXX="asdkl asdklasd asdlkmas"). Still the same error though, Your thing just qouted the entire lines which didn't do much for the command not found | 04:10 |
| _Neytiri_ | I was wondering if someone knew a command that i could use to move any files with a set file extension from all the directories from my current working directory recurcevally and out them in a specific folder | 04:10 |
| GameBoy | alkafoo: like..? | 04:10 |
| alkafoo | GameBoy: you just want to witness at working? | 04:10 |
| escott | tomvolek, put someone in plugdev and they will be granted automatic access to plugable devices, remove them from plugdev and they won't. if the plugable device has linux permissions they will be correct, if not they may be owned by plugdev | 04:10 |
| tnud | codehotter: can't find any of them now :P | 04:11 |
| GameBoy | alkafoo: yes i want to see the execution... | 04:11 |
| escott | _Neytiri_, find | 04:11 |
| codehotter | tnud: oh, my bad^^ | 04:11 |
| codehotter | tnud: I should test this before I tell you to try it | 04:11 |
| alkafoo | _Neytiri_: find dir/ -iname '*.foo' | 04:11 |
| tnud | codehotter: Maybe it's not the environment after all :/ | 04:11 |
| tnud | codehotter: haha, no worries :P | 04:11 |
| _Neytiri_ | that wont move the files tho | 04:11 |
| alkafoo | _Neytiri_: you could use -exec mv {} other/place/ \; or... I think find has a 'move' builtin | 04:11 |
| GameBoy | alkafoo: i believe if i write to a file it might have done. but i need to see the processes steps using the echo command.. any way? | 04:11 |
| tomvolek | true,thanks, my regualr user 'foo' can write to it ... i was not familar with the plugdev | 04:11 |
| giiker2 | alkafoo: I previously asked: "anyone knows of an app to edit pdf files where I can have the option of adding restrictions (print,edit,copy,etc.) or watermarks, encryption?" | 04:12 |
| escott | _Neytiri_, find -iname *.txt -exec mv ... | 04:12 |
| alkafoo | GameBoy: you need to schedule an echo on a specific terminal? | 04:12 |
| _Neytiri_ | ok | 04:12 |
| Petskull | does Minitube give everybody an error when downloading videos, or just me? | 04:12 |
| alkafoo | giiker2: ah | 04:12 |
| tnud | codehotter: There is a related java problem with this specific file. It's already tricky to get it working in normal terminal. But now I do.. I just want it run at a regular basis :/ | 04:12 |
| codehotter | what about sed -ie "s/=\(.*\)/=\"\1\"/" /home/dell/normalEnv.txt ? ; ) anyway, you're testing from your normal terminal right now, is that right? | 04:12 |
| alkafoo | giiker2: you know none of those are effective except against the truly ignorant, right? | 04:12 |
| tnud | yes | 04:12 |
| tomvolek | ls shows root as the owner and plugdev as user, with 775 permisions, was winderign why is that and where this gets set .. thanks | 04:12 |
| tnud | codehotter: su dell | 04:12 |
| tnud | codehotter: "normal" right? :P | 04:13 |
| codehotter | and it does not work if you env -i /path/to/script, but it does if you sh /path/to/script ? | 04:13 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: when you run 'mount', it shows it mounted in /media/, right? | 04:13 |
| GameBoy | alkafoo: Could you please let me know how? | 04:13 |
| giiker2 | alkafoo: I know, but the people I'm sending th pdf's I'm sending to are truely ignorants soft-wise... | 04:13 |
| tnud | codehotter: if I remove the . /path to env yes | 04:13 |
| tomvolek | alkafoo , moiunt shows : /dev/sda6 on /data type vfat (rw,utf8,umask=007,gid=46) | 04:13 |
| alkafoo | GameBoy: what use is that? | 04:14 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: vfat? wow | 04:14 |
| codehotter | OK can you print out another "env" after your script did the . /home/dell/normalEnv and check if it's the same as the env from your normal env output? | 04:14 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: what does grep -i data /etc/fstab say? | 04:14 |
| _Neytiri_ | also is there a command i can use to change the file name removing 2 numbers and a space before hte part i wnat to keep | 04:15 |
| GameBoy | alkafoo: i need to schdeule something where I could see the progress through echo commands.. like copying from a to b status : done etc | 04:15 |
| alkafoo | _Neytiri_: yes, 'rename' or 'rename.ul' | 04:15 |
| _Neytiri_ | i want to do it all at once tho | 04:15 |
| tomvolek | I think the reason my freind had set this up as a vfat was that windows xp was giving us fit .. and thats what worked .... this is a personal dev box by the way | 04:15 |
| _Neytiri_ | i have a music collection i need ot go though and remove all the duplicates and tripilicts | 04:15 |
| alkafoo | _Neytiri_: each tool to its own job | 04:15 |
| alkafoo | _Neytiri_: ah, well for that use fdupes | 04:16 |
| Shaba1 | guys. I do not have a printer right now. | 04:16 |
| alkafoo | Shaba1: bummer | 04:16 |
| giiker2 | anyone knows of an app to edit pdf files where I can have the option of adding restrictions, e.g.: print,edit,copy,etc. or watermarks, encryption? | 04:16 |
| Shaba1 | I have a program for windows called pdf creator that saves a pdf to my hd whenever I want to print something | 04:16 |
| tomvolek | alkafoo , ==> UUID=16E4-1D1A /data vfat utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 | 04:16 |
| codehotter | If you don't mind me asking, gliker2, why do you need to prevent people from printing your PDFs? | 04:16 |
| alkafoo | I've never heard of a PDF that can block printing, that's sort of the format's purpose | 04:16 |
| Shaba1 | is there such a think for the linux side of this machine? | 04:17 |
| alkafoo | I'm sure there are apps for the pathetic password protecting, and watermarking, though | 04:17 |
| alkafoo | Shaba1: yes, chances are you already have it | 04:17 |
| alkafoo | Shaba1: check for 'print to file' in any print dialog | 04:17 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: k | 04:17 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: that's pretty weird =P | 04:17 |
| tomvolek | i see the umask 007, i am wondering if u mask 777 would be a problem ... | 04:17 |
| codehotter | alkafoo: well, I think Adobe's reader checks for a special flag in the document and refuses to print it if it's there, but most other readers just ignore those "digital restriction management" flags. And you can always print from screen. | 04:17 |
| tomvolek | ya gid=46 is plugdev | 04:18 |
| Shaba1 | ah cool | 04:18 |
| Shaba1 | very nice | 04:18 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: what problem, I thought the only problem was that you didn't understand why it was plugdev | 04:18 |
| tnud | codehotter: It is not. | 04:19 |
| giiker2 | codehotter: I work as a contractor , and have to convert certain docs to pdf, so I want to start charging for this time i expend in processing them | 04:19 |
| codehotter | tnud: how is it different? | 04:19 |
| tomvolek | true, no problem, i just remeber few weeks ago, I could not write to that parition as a regular user 'foo' to that parition, but i just tested it and it works. | 04:19 |
| * Nova685 slaps Nova685 around a bit with a large trout | 04:20 | |
| codehotter | giiker2: How does that require you to prevent printing? | 04:20 |
| tnud | codehotter: . /home/dell/normalEnv (newline in script) env > /home/dell/anotherEnv should provide the normalEnv in anotherEnv right? | 04:20 |
| tomvolek | I tried to set the owener of the parition as my linux regualr user, and that does not allow me to write to it from windows os | 04:20 |
| paulus68 | giiker2: perhaps this would be helpfull http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/open-source-linux-pdf-writer.html | 04:20 |
| ngc604 | haven't seen the trout in years | 04:20 |
| tnud | codehotter: PWD=/home/dell/MinecraftServer/Tectonicus SHLVL=3 _=/usr/bin/env <- That's the whole thing | 04:20 |
| tomvolek | but plugdev seems to work .. | 04:20 |
| tomvolek | thanks alkafoo. its all good | 04:20 |
| giiker2 | Shaba1: the program you are talking about lets you protect pdfs with passwords and some other workarounds, but in the linux world, it might not work, or cincurvented | 04:21 |
| codehotter | tnud: OK, then can you try prefixing every line in /home/dell/normalEnv with "export " | 04:21 |
| codehotter | tnud: sed -ie "s/$/export /" /home/dell/normalEnv | 04:21 |
| codehotter | tnud: again, didn't test | 04:21 |
| paulus68 | giiker2: ord this one http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/best-free-pdf-tools.htm | 04:21 |
| codehotter | tnud: should probably be ^ instead of $ there | 04:21 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: hum, you should be able to set it to use one user in Linux and another in Windows | 04:21 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: maybe with uid=, I forget | 04:22 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: what do you use the Windows install for? | 04:22 |
| giiker2 | codehotter: well, If I want to start charging for the processing of these docs that I deliver by email, how Am I going to prevent the client from not paying for my time? | 04:23 |
| tomvolek | windows install is used for certain windows app that I can not run under linux, ..yes not even in virtualization mode :( | 04:23 |
| alkafoo | giiker2: get the money up front | 04:23 |
| tnud | codehotter: omg.... | 04:23 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: oh, which I'm curious | 04:23 |
| tnud | codehotter: Yes it was ^instead of $... It's WORKING | 04:23 |
| codehotter | tnud: huh, what? | 04:23 |
| tnud | codehotter: Thanks! HA! So relived xD | 04:24 |
| codehotter | tnud: OK, now time to search ; ) or you can be lazy and copy the whole env | 04:24 |
| codehotter | I recommend taking the extra time, it may help us understand what happened here | 04:24 |
| tomvolek | I use this integration sofware , it has some native windows calls, it wont run under linux | 04:24 |
| giiker2 | alkafoo: I can explain here how i do my work and all of the details, but what I can say is that besides charging per hour for my job, I really need to charge for these waste of time of proccessing these pdfs. | 04:24 |

| alkafoo | giiker2: I got that: you should get your money up front | 04:25 |
| tnud | codehotter: One more thing while I got you here, this script wants to copy files to /var/www and access some files from there too, which it can't under dell. How do I sudo the script under cron // make /var/www avalible to all users :O | 04:25 |
| HyeDude | hey guys, I got camera how can i get my PC recognize it? Im using last version of Ubuntu | 04:25 |
| tomvolek | alkfoo, have you heared of CastIron integration tool ? Its an IBM tool ... for integrating , traditional Data sources like DB with things liek Salesforce and netsuit backends | 04:25 |
| codehotter | giiker2: get the money up front, or get in writing that they're buying your service and send a debt collecting agency if they don't pay. Don't try to solve a human interaction problem with technology. | 04:25 |
| alkafoo | HyeDude: what sort of camera? | 04:25 |
| giiker2 | alkafoo: I know, problem is nobody right now wants to increase the rates! :( | 04:25 |
| alkafoo | tomvolek: nope, weird for an IBM tool to be win32 only, though | 04:26 |
| alkafoo | not so weird for an IBM product to suck, however =) | 04:26 |
| tomvolek | sigh :( | 04:26 |
| alkafoo | giiker2: well password protecting PDF files isn't going to be any more affective than witholding | 04:26 |
| giiker2 | codehotter: thanks, best answer so far!! made my eyes popped out! | 04:26 |
| codehotter | tnud: I'm curious what environment variables were really needed? | 04:27 |

| HyeDude | alkafoo, it's a web cam | 04:28 |
| giiker2 | alkafoo: & codehotter : thing is times are so tight right now that it's the only way for me right now, but I will consider getting it up front by convincing my client, thanks! and thanks for hanging out in Ubuntu forums!! | 04:28 |
| giiker2 | paulus68: thanx! | 04:29 |
| Lasers | giiker2: How about using your money to buy Windows and more money for Adobe Reader Professional? Full control on your PDF. 'Spend your money to make money' | 04:29 |
| tnud | codehotter: I'm working on it :P Meanwhile.. howto make dell have access to /var/www // run cron job as sudo :O | 04:30 |
| paulus68 | giiker2: the thing is if you are going to transform the docs to pdf and you want to be sure that your client isn't going to modify it, I can understand however when they paid you, you need to do the same work again to remove any protection you put on | 04:30 |
| codehotter | tnud: The question is, why does dell need access to /var/www ? | 04:30 |
| paulus68 | giiker2: so it's double time for nothing :( | 04:30 |
| giiker2 | Lasers: I believe in helping each other in my community, so no thanks! plus Adobe is so heavy it makes me vomit! | 04:30 |
| alkafoo | HyeDude: and what're you trying to do with your webcam? | 04:31 |
| tnud | codehotter: The jar is generating a map which I need avalible from the web | 04:31 |
| Lasers | giiker2: That's great news! You can help the clients in your community. :) | 04:31 |
| codehotter | tnud: OK. What else does your script need to modify? | 04:31 |
| HyeDude | alkafoo, trying to get my friend to see me through the skype | 04:31 |
| giiker2 | paulus68: I know what you r saying, I was just going to edit the original but keep a copy of the original untill they pay me! | 04:31 |
| alkafoo | HyeDude: okay so you have Skype running? | 04:32 |
| Corey | giiker2: What "processing" do you need to do? ghostscript and other tools "just work" | 04:32 |
| giiker2 | Lasers: you ... | 04:32 |
| giiker2 | Lasers: :) | 04:32 |
| tnud | codehotter: Just that, it saves image files to a folder under /var/www and has a cache there too (so it doesn't waste time on stuff that hasn't changed since last time | 04:32 |
| HyeDude | alkafoo, Yes, but the thing is the light on the camera isn't on, I think the computer does't recognize the driver | 04:32 |
| codehotter | tnud: OK. Are you using the user 'dell' just for running the script or for other things too? | 04:33 |
| alkafoo | HyeDude: is it a laptop? | 04:33 |
| tnud | codehotter: It's the only user I have except the root acc | 04:33 |
| tnud | codehotter: Which I intend to disable again after this is figured out :P | 04:33 |
| === Cam is now known as Cam_ | ||
| HyeDude | alkafoo, no it's desktop | 04:33 |
| === Cam_ is now known as Cam | ||
| paulus68 | giiker2: what you could do aswell is that you post a link of these pdf's to a location on your server and when people want to download it for usage they need to pay this way you don't waste your time with editing | 04:34 |
| === Kardos_ is now known as Kardos | ||
| giiker2 | Corey: yeah I know, thing is I use a scanner to convert these time sheets to pdf's so I can send them by email, but I need to charge for the time spent processing dozens of time sheets per week! | 04:34 |
| codehotter | tnud: OK. Create a new user with 'useradd <name>' then give the new user write access to the subdirectory in /var/www (and set up the script for the new user) | 04:35 |
| Corey | giiker2: Or get a scanner with a hopper, press the button, get a single PDF, use gs to slice it into individual pages. | 04:35 |
| Corey | Total time to you, five minutes. | 04:35 |
| giiker2 | paulus68: I think that's a great idea! I will consider it . | 04:35 |
| tnud | codehotter: How do I give a user read/write access to a folder (and subfolders) ? :/ | 04:35 |
| alkafoo | HyeDude: you might try a USB port on the other side; otherwise say what make/model it is | 04:36 |
| codehotter | tnud: the easiest way is to just chown it to them. | 04:36 |
| paulus68 | giiker2: your welcome | 04:36 |
| codehotter | tnud: chown <user> <folder> | 04:36 |
| tnud | codehotter I'm down to 5 lines of env btw | 04:36 |
| codehotter | tnud: good news | 04:36 |
| === Cam is now known as Cam_ | ||
| giiker2 | Corey: I use pdftk, thanks... | 04:37 |
| paulus68 | giiker2: or at least you can create a login script before they can download the pdf and you need to setup a counter for how many times a specific pdf is downloaded and charge them x times for downloading | 04:38 |
| tnud | codehotter: DISPLAY=:0 | 04:38 |
| giiker2 | well good night everyone, as usual you guys helpd me a lot! | 04:38 |
| giiker2 | paulus68: thanx again, you really keep pouring ideas eh!! :) | 04:38 |
| paulus68 | giiker2: sorry will stop doing it | 04:39 |
| codehotter | tnud: whoa, I definitely didn't expect that. The java thing shows a GUI? | 04:39 |
| tnud | codehotter: It shouldn't | 04:39 |
| giiker2 | paulus68: please DON'T, people need you here! ;) | 04:39 |
| tnud | codehotter: I've set it to no gui mode, hmm | 04:39 |
| NonConformist | so ya i need an alternative way to install ubuntu... i can't use a cd or usb | 04:39 |
| paulus68 | giiker2: no worries | 04:39 |
| NonConformist | thanks in advance :D | 04:39 |
| tnud | codehotter: oh well, it works! Thanks for all the help! | 04:39 |
| codehotter | tnud: maybe the code is poorly written, and checks to see if there's an X environment before checking to see if it is run in GUI mode or not | 04:40 |
| codehotter | tnud: no problem. You got your /var/www thing sorted too? | 04:40 |
| NonConformist | actually brb gotta restart lol | 04:40 |

| tnud | cam, problem deciding o.O | 04:45 |
| ubuntu_ | yo guys, so i have this 6 GB harddrive formatted and ready 2 install ubuntu onto | 04:48 |
| ubuntu_ | basically my files are bigger than any storage device I have, so I can't backup my photos and docs etc. | 04:48 |
| ubuntu_ | if I install ubunto from liveCD onto the formatted 6GB partition is there a minimal chance I can have a huge error occur | 04:49 |
| ubuntu_ | minimal as opposed to really big | 04:49 |
| ubuntu_ | chance | 04:49 |
| codehotter | tnud: final thing, you may have figured ito ut already. It's no sense to keep the export DISPLAY=0 in a separate file when it's only one line, best to put it in your main script with a comment why it's necessary and just remove the ". /path/to/newEnv.txt" | 04:49 |
| ubuntu_ | I mean I have, wait hold on i meant I have like a huge 140 GB hard disk, and then a 6GB little disk as well and I completely formatted it and i wanna put Ubuntu onto it do you think that's safe | 04:50 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: you can get online backups for 0.15 cent per gigabyte and probably cheaper. | 04:50 |
| alkafoo | ubuntu_: it's about as safe as using the disk for any reason is | 04:50 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: if I just do this quickly tho do u think its a really small chance anything can go wrong | 04:50 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: you won't have much space for your ubuntu install if it's only 6 GB, do you intend to put files on your NTFS filesystem while working in Linux? | 04:50 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: I want to after installing ubuntu, take away unused space from the partition hosting windows and then add it to the ubuntu one | 04:51 |
| ubuntu_ | there's like 79GB unused space on the one hosting windows | 04:51 |
| alkafoo | ubuntu_: a very small chance | 04:51 |
| ubuntu_ | i was thinking take away like 60 GB from it | 04:51 |
| alkafoo | ubuntu_: unrelated to the install process | 04:51 |
| alkafoo | any time you use a piece of hardware, there's a chance that will be the time it breaks =) | 04:51 |
| ubuntu_ | alkafoo: Oh I see well ive had this comp since 2008 so I think it will be OK it's never crashed before | 04:52 |
| alkafoo | there's no particular chance it will decide to format a partition you haven't told it to, however | 04:52 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: if you can manage to direct the installer to install on the 6 GB hard drive and not use the other hard drive, then it's quite safe | 04:52 |
| codehotter | but humans make mistakes, and I'd rather not do partitioning magic on a filesystem with important data that I have no backups of | 04:52 |
| codehotter | humans include the programmers of partition magic, not just you ; ) | 04:52 |
| alkafoo | sounded like he'd already made the partition | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: how do I do that though? Im on the install menu and i selected "somthing else" , | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_ | yea i already made the partition though | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_ | lols ;P | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_ | but after I select somthing else | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_ | it lists me | 04:53 |
| alkafoo | just tell it to install to the 6GB partition, and that's the only partition it will use | 04:53 |
| codehotter | alkafoo: but how do you do that though? Screenshots please | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_ | it listst me | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_ | dev sda | 04:53 |
| ubuntu_ | dev sda1 sda 2 sda 3 sda 4, all marked NTFS | 04:54 |
| alkafoo | codehotter: do what? | 04:54 |
| ubuntu_ | and like | 04:54 |
| codehotter | alkafoo: tell it to install to the 6 GB partition? | 04:54 |
| alkafoo | ubuntu_: what'd you make the 6GB partition with? | 04:54 |
| ubuntu_ | "Device for boot loader installation" and I can select the one I formatted | 04:54 |
| codehotter | and where did the 6 GB partition come from yea | 04:54 |
| alkafoo | you just click on it if memory serves | 04:54 |
| ubuntu_ | is that what i want to do to install it to that 6gb partition | 04:54 |
| ubuntu_ | the 6gb partition was part of the computer since I got it for no reason that I know of lol | 04:54 |
| ubuntu_ | but I just formatted it to be safe with g-parted | 04:54 |

| alkafoo | ubuntu_: for GRUB? Probably sda (no number) | 04:54 |
| codehotter | There may have been important data on the parition | 04:55 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: there wasnt at all | 04:55 |
| codehotter | or it may have been the recovery and diagnostics tools | 04:55 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: I checked alot and with windows | 04:55 |
| alkafoo | ubuntu_: but yes you can also tell it to use the 6GB partition (with number), and then configure Windows' boot loader to be able to use it | 04:55 |
| codehotter | ok ok | 04:55 |

| tnud | close :P | 04:58 |
| GhostWolf | i don't need upgrade just the updates, but what about the audio thing tnud do you know that command? i thought it was ls something | 04:58 |
| tnud | they do different things | 04:58 |
| === Chris_ is now known as NonConformist | ||
| tnud | update just updates your lists of programs, upgrade "updates" your programs :P | 04:59 |
| GhostWolf | tnud well i have updates that pops up so i figured its what i need | 04:59 |
| NonConformist | ok back does anybody know of any alternatives to installing ubuntu? I'm not able to use usb or cd o.O | 04:59 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: what do you think about that | 04:59 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: sudo mkdir /mnt/3; sudo mkdir /mnt/4; sudo mount /dev/sda3 sudo /mnt/3; sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/4; sudo ls /mnt/3; sudo ls /mnt/4 - can you pastebin the output of that? | 04:59 |
| tnud | I have no idea what the command for the audio settings diag is unfortunally | 05:00 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: whoops, there is one sudo too many in there | 05:00 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: :OOOO you want me to write all that in a row in the same commandline as you wrote it there then press enter? | 05:00 |
| GhostWolf | tnud ok thanks for the update info tho | 05:00 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: oh do I get rid of the sudo before mnt 3 | 05:00 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: yes, sudo mkdir /mnt/3; sudo mkdir /mnt/4; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/3; sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/4; sudo ls /mnt/3; sudo ls /mnt/4 | 05:00 |
| ubuntu_ | OK whats the ubuntu chat pastebin link so i dont have to make it public for everyone to see lol | 05:01 |

| ubuntu_ | codehotter: HOLD ON man it says.... /tmp/thatfile? I saved it to my desktop | 05:14 |
| EvilGenius101 | I saw that window installer can install it, but i just don't get an option. | 05:14 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: so should I put /desktop/untitled1 | 05:14 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: right, it installs to a file on the Windows partition | 05:14 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: you can migrate that to its own real partition later, but it's kind of the long way around | 05:15 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: so move it from your desktop to /tmp/thatfile or change /tmp/thatfile into ~/Desktop/untitled1 | 05:15 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: you don't have a CD/DVD/USB stick? | 05:15 |
| EvilGenius101 | I do. I've got it on USB & CD | 05:15 |
| ubuntu_ | OK cool hold on im trying it | 05:15 |
| tnud | gbear14275: I have no idea haha, I just felt sorry for you since noone answered and google'd it | 05:15 |
| NonConformist | -.- | 05:15 |
| tnud | gbear14275: Sounds very strange imho :P | 05:15 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: all set then | 05:15 |
| gbear14275 | tnud, I appreciate that... weird thing is that it is a clean install... figured there shouldn't be any issues | 05:15 |
| tnud | Indeed.. | 05:16 |
| EvilGenius101 | alkafoo, CD or USB it gets stuck on Preloader screen with ubuntu logo. on reboot the bios moans OVERHEATED | 05:16 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: | 05:17 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: something weird happened ! | 05:17 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: sweet | 05:18 |
| gbear14275 | is the fact that it is a bootable device affect anything? | 05:18 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: but your Windows install works fine? | 05:18 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: you there man? something weird happened | 05:18 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: what happened man | 05:18 |
| EvilGenius101 | yep. not a issue. even with heavy load | 05:18 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: well first it says that desktop/untitled1 doesn't exist and it DOES though... | 05:18 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: then it says it did a whole bunch of stuff and i dont even know what it did, lol, but the main point is it didnt even find the file on the desktop | 05:18 |
| harry_ | good morning all ; | 05:19 |
| harry_ | :) | 05:19 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: did you try a different version? | 05:19 |
| ubuntu_ | goodmorning | 05:19 |
| alkafoo | harry_: hi | 05:19 |
| EvilGenius101 | alkafoo, don't have another iso right now. Will download something later then | 05:19 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: well, move it to /tmp/thatfile then | 05:19 |
| harry_ | alkafoo:hello | 05:19 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: hold on can u just clarify what it actually did , lol | 05:20 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: http://paste.ubuntu.com/697058/ | 05:20 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: could be some weird option you could toggle in your BIOS, too | 05:21 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: It does that the first time you use gpg | 05:21 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: LOL oh wow I should have never stopped using linux wat was i thinking going back to windows silly fool of me OK ill find /tmp/ create thatfile.gpg | 05:22 |
| EvilGenius101 | alkafoo, I doubt it. Its very basic BIOS for the laptop. Nothing I think stands out. it won't even run as live cd | 05:22 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: has a live cd ever worked with it? | 05:23 |
| EvilGenius101 | First time i'm trying linux on this laptop | 05:23 |
| EvilGenius101 | that same iso worked fine in vmware | 05:23 |
| alkafoo | it's just it could be a problem using any live media or just with that particular image | 05:25 |
| * alkafoo shrugs | 05:25 | |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: OK i did it and it worked, | 05:25 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: it added my key? | 05:25 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: but what exactly did I do ? it added your key and says your name and email but | 05:25 |
| codehotter | OK, now take the output from the commands before that you didn't want to send to everyone | 05:25 |
| codehotter | and put it in a file | 05:25 |
| alkafoo | EvilGenius101: technically you can copy your vmware install to empty partition space, but you'd have to possibly tweak the drivers instead of them being autoconfigured | 05:26 |
| codehotter | then do gpg -e "<my name or email>" /path/to/file | 05:26 |
| codehotter | oops | 05:26 |
| codehotter | then do gpg -a -e "<my name or email>" /path/to/file | 05:26 |
| ubuntu_ | what exactly does that do though i forgot | 05:26 |
| codehotter | It makes sure only the person that you have as "name or email" can read it | 05:26 |
| EvilGenius101 | I'll grab 10.04 iso from my uni and dist-upgrade ... if it works | 05:27 |
| EvilGenius101 | or i'll just install opensuse or fedore | 05:27 |
| codehotter | whoa people actually use opensuse? *ducks* | 05:27 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: OK 2 things, i forgot what outputs you wanted, and 2nd of all so it'll make sure only you can read what ? | 05:27 |
| jroysdon | Fedora too. Just be prepared to reinstall Fedora every 13 months (give or take a month). I enjoy Fedora, but I'm looking at Ubuntu for LTS. | 05:28 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: ls /mnt/3; ls /mnt/4 | 05:28 |
| codehotter | put the output from that into a file | 05:28 |
| ubuntu_ | OH right those outputs ill put them , into a NEW file?? | 05:28 |
| codehotter | yes | 05:28 |
| codehotter | then gpg -a -e "<my name or email>" /path/to/file | 05:28 |
| alkafoo | not a fan of Fedora, but there's rarely a good reason to reinstall a Unix system | 05:28 |
| ubuntu_ | OK cool im just wondering tho does that mean u can directly access my comp and read it etc. ? | 05:29 |
| paulus68 | codehotter: do you have an manual/howto on how to set up gpg? | 05:29 |
| ubuntu_ | or what does this do | 05:29 |
| ubuntu_ | to help my installation , i forgot | 05:29 |
| alkafoo | basically it comes down to which would take longer: reinstalling or fixing it, because fixing it is always an option | 05:29 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: it will print out another bit of garbled text that you can put on pastebin | 05:29 |
| codehotter | then I will take it from pastebin and decrypt it | 05:29 |
| ubuntu_ | oh lol ok | 05:29 |
| ubuntu_ | thx are you swedish I can't tell where your name is from | 05:30 |
| codehotter | paulus68: what do you mean? What do you want to set up? | 05:30 |
| ubuntu_ | or maybe dutch | 05:30 |
| codehotter | paulus68: gpg --gen-key then gpg -a --export "<your name or email>" send your key to somebody else, have that person gpg --import it. Then you can use gpg --sign or gpg --encrypt | 05:31 |
| codehotter | paulus68: I didn't know how gpg worked either, I just did man gpg | 05:31 |
| paulus68 | codehotter: I mean you are using a encryption decryption with gpg which interests me so I am asking if you have a howto or other manual that I can use as reference | 05:31 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: did it produce some garbled text? Encrypted with my key? | 05:32 |
| jroysdon | paulus68, what do you want to use it for, email or files? If email, there are a lot of good plugins that automate much gpg stuff | 05:33 |
| paulus68 | jroysdon: both might come in handy :) | 05:33 |
| jroysdon | Enigmail for Thunderbird is a nice add-on | 05:33 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: oh it said | 05:33 |
| ubuntu_ | usage gpg [options] --encrypt [filename[ | 05:34 |
| ubuntu_ | what the... | 05:34 |
| jroysdon | you got a parameter wrong | 05:34 |
| ubuntu_ | like I saved the output as thatfile2 in temp | 05:34 |
| jroysdon | you can use: gpg -es FILENAME | 05:34 |
| ubuntu_ | then i put in gpg -a -e "<the email>" /tmp/thatfile2 | 05:34 |
| jroysdon | (-es tells it to sign and encrypt it) | 05:34 |
| alkafoo | ah gpg | 05:35 |
| ubuntu_ | the output BTW was BIN BOOTMGRIMAGES_BOOT PLANFOLDER System Volume Information ZZIMAGES | 05:35 |
| ubuntu_ | BOOT DATA.INIPLANDATA.INI SOURCES !V5_01_07.VRP | 05:35 |
| jroysdon | err, I mean gpg -se FILENAME | 05:35 |
| jroysdon | it should take your original FILENAME and generate a FILENAME.gpg file for you (encrypted for the people you tell it to and signed by your key) | 05:35 |
| alkafoo | they should've called it prettycrypticprivacy | 05:35 |
| ubuntu_ | hey codehotter im totally lost here D:: | 05:36 |
| === p1l0t is now known as Guest67096 | ||
| ubuntu_ | i dont even know what were attempting to do nevermind why this isnt working now, lol... | 05:38 |
| jroysdon | ubuntu_, look at gpgkeys | 05:38 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: sorry I wrote it wrong | 05:38 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: Oh okay what was it ,lol | 05:38 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: gpg -a -er "<my email>" /tmp/thatfile2 | 05:38 |
| ubuntu_ | OK i'll try it | 05:39 |
| ubuntu_ | hold on | 05:39 |
| ubuntu_ | security alert it says | 05:39 |
| codehotter | hmm | 05:39 |
| ubuntu_ | it is not certain that the key belongs to the person named in the user ID | 05:39 |
| codehotter | true | 05:39 |
| ubuntu_ | if you *really* know what you're doing you may answer with yes | 05:40 |
| ubuntu_ | is it OK to say yes? lol | 05:40 |
| codehotter | If you got this key from somewhere you don't trust, you shouldn't just believe that it is who the name says it is | 05:40 |
| codehotter | you can put any name you want | 05:40 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: wait what do you mean?! I got it from you | 05:40 |
| codehotter | but since you got that key from me directly, you know it's me, so you can trust the key | 05:40 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: lol oh ok | 05:40 |
| jroysdon | unless Malory MitM'd you | 05:40 |
| ubuntu_ | are you like someone famous on the whole ubuntu crowd of peeps | 05:40 |
| Lasers | 'directly' or just the man behind the machine? :o | 05:40 |
| ubuntu_ | lol ^^ | 05:40 |
| jroysdon | You should compare signatures | 05:41 |
| codehotter | jroysdon: but those can be MiTMd too | 05:41 |
| jroysdon | Uhm, how so? | 05:41 |
| ubuntu_ | wow im so over my head, so is like | 05:41 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter a super trustworthy dude | 05:41 |
| ubuntu_ | and u guys all know him | 05:41 |
| codehotter | lol | 05:41 |
| Lasers | We don't. | 05:41 |
| ubuntu_ | sry for being rude im just super paranoid about this kind of stuff | 05:41 |
| jroysdon | If you call each other up on the phone and read the signature back and forth (the gpg key sig), how is that going to get MiTM? | 05:41 |
| codehotter | he doesn't know my voice, so that could get MitMd too | 05:42 |
| ubuntu_ | lol | 05:42 |
| jroysdon | Hah, for sure | 05:42 |
| ubuntu_ | yea if I call you you could be the guy who does kermit the frogs voice for all i know | 05:42 |
| codehotter | right | 05:42 |
| ubuntu_ | but guys | 05:42 |
| ubuntu_ | so you dont even know who codehotter is he isnt like famous an stuff?? | 05:42 |
| jroysdon | I think he writes malware | 05:42 |
| jroysdon | ;-p | 05:42 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: the message is just saying, don't automatically assume the person whose name it says on the key is actually that person | 05:43 |
| jroysdon | j/k, new to #ubuntu myself | 05:43 |
| jroysdon | ubuntu_, just say "yes" but don't trust the key | 05:43 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: which is good advice, you don't know if I'm really that person or if that's really my email | 05:43 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: but you know it's at least me, since you got that key from me | 05:43 |
| rhin0 | i just abandoned inspiron m5010 - too many problems - downgrading to inspiron 1525 | 05:43 |
| codehotter | so just let it use that key :P | 05:43 |
| ubuntu_ | OK ill press yes lol | 05:43 |
| amh345 | is it common for history to not show commonds in the same order when you have multiple ssh terminals active? | 05:44 |
| ubuntu_ | OMG MY LINUX EXPLODED what are these spots on teh screen?? why is my comp slowin down hey its got a million popups NOOOO | 05:44 |
| alkafoo | amh345: multiple ssh terminals, what? | 05:44 |
| jroysdon | amh345, yes, as it is stored in .bash_history | 05:44 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: good, now take the output from that command and put it on pastebin | 05:44 |
| ubuntu_ | jk | 05:44 |
| codehotter | amh345: I don't think history is written to file until you close the shell, it's stored in memory until then, isn't it? | 05:44 |
| ubuntu_ | OK it doesnt have any output, i pressed yes, and now it just goes back to blank | 05:44 |
| kooldaddyj | hello all! | 05:44 |
| amh345 | jroysdon: as i understnad it, these are not time/time stamped so they could show up in any order? | 05:44 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: there's no output!! is that bad?? | 05:44 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: ah, okay, so it made a file /tmp/thatfile2.asc probably, open that and put it on pastebin | 05:45 |
| ubuntu_ | It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named | 05:45 |
| ubuntu_ | in the user ID. If you *really* know what you are doing, | 05:45 |
| ubuntu_ | you may answer the next question with yes. | 05:45 |
| ubuntu_ | Use this key anyway? (y/N) y | 05:45 |
| FloodBot1 | ubuntu_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:45 |
| ubuntu_ | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 05:45 |
| jroysdon | amh345, I would think each bash shell will have it's own history, but only the last one will be written to .bash_history (but I've not tested) | 05:45 |
| jroysdon | amh345, I recommend using screen anyway, so you only need one ssh | 05:45 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: Hey it wont let me open that .asc file | 05:45 |
| amh345 | gotcha | 05:45 |
| amh345 | screen? | 05:45 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: cat /tmp/thatfile2.asc | 05:45 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: It won't let me open that, it says There is no application installed for PGP/MIME-encrypted message header files | 05:46 |
| amh345 | im accessing an ubuntu server via osx terminal | 05:46 |
| Lasers | !screen | amh345 | 05:46 |
| ubottu | amh345: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 05:46 |
| ubuntu_ | oh Ok | 05:46 |
| jroysdon | amh345, screen is a text multi-shell interface | 05:46 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: I did the thing you said now it has the garbled code | 05:46 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: put it on pastebin | 05:46 |
| amh345 | oh. neato. thanks guys | 05:46 |
| jroysdon | best of all, you can disconnect from ssh and screen is still there running | 05:46 |
| codehotter | I have been told tmux has much cleaner code than screen | 05:46 |
| ubuntu_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/697063/ | 05:46 |
| jroysdon | You can reconnect to it later (I always start with: screen -xRR) | 05:46 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: http://paste.ubuntu.com/697063/ | 05:47 |
| Lasers | amh345: screen is pretty common for unix. OSX should have it too | 05:47 |
| jroysdon | screen is pretty universal | 05:47 |
| ubuntu_ | hey guys codehotter just gave me advice and I used his code for some reason I dont even understadn what im doing do you think my linux just got hacked? Im not being rude im just super paranoid about this pls dont say jokes i mean seriously does anyone here know him | 05:47 |
| Lasers | ubuntu_: I don't know him -- Just the same way you don't know me. | 05:47 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter you're not evil right so its all good lol ?! sorry im just super paranoid about this stuff | 05:47 |
| jroysdon | ubuntu_, I dunno, what are you getting from him? | 05:48 |
| codehotter | jroysdon: he imported my gpg key | 05:48 |
| jroysdon | kaBOOM! | 05:48 |
| ubuntu_ | jryosdon: I dont even know its just code he gave me and I ran it and I forget why im even doing it cus im that much of a dirty little noob | 05:49 |
| === Nicolus is now known as c_nick | ||
| ubuntu_ | so codehotter did you see the pastebin I gave you? | 05:49 |
| codehotter | yes | 05:49 |
| codehotter | but I forgot the passphrase to my key | 05:49 |
| ubuntu_ | does it make sense? lol sorry i didnt mean to insult u codehotter im just paranoid about this crap | 05:49 |
| codehotter | so I can't open it | 05:49 |
| codehotter | ^^ | 05:49 |
| ubuntu_ | oh man so what does that mean... uggh | 05:49 |
| codehotter | There are worse noobs than you lol | 05:49 |
| ubuntu_ | oh OK good lol | 05:49 |
| jroysdon | lol | 05:49 |
| paulus68 | ubuntu_ you have to trust the people up to a certain level when you ask for help | 05:50 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter is that bad though? what were we really close to doing? | 05:50 |
| ubuntu_ | paulus68 yeah I know im just unreasonably paranoid about computer stuff sometimes sorry my bad all around | 05:50 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: gpg is used to send private messages | 05:50 |
| ubuntu_ | anyways codehotter what were we really close to doing? were we really really close? can we still finish it ? | 05:50 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: I sent you a key | 05:50 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: So that means ?? | 05:50 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: you imported my key | 05:50 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: after that, you can send me private messages using my key | 05:50 |
| ubuntu_ | yea, but... all that = what happens | 05:50 |
| ubuntu_ | oh its like | 05:51 |
| ubuntu_ | an IM thing? | 05:51 |
| jroysdon | which is kinda worthless as codehotter can't remember his password to his private key ;-p | 05:51 |
| paulus68 | ubuntu_: no worries you should see my network layout that's really paranoid :p | 05:51 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: well not really, all gpg does is take your input and produce garbled text, or take garbled text and get the input back | 05:51 |
| jroysdon | ubuntu_, it's a way to encode it so no one else can intercept it | 05:51 |
| jroysdon | (well, they can intercept it, but they won't have a way to know what it means) | 05:51 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: the idea is that nobody in between can read it, only the person whose key you used | 05:52 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: for everybody else it's just garbled text | 05:52 |
| ubuntu_ | ohh lol. so we were just trying to set up a fully encrypted IM system | 05:52 |
| jroysdon | unless Mallory MiTM your key exchange | 05:52 |
| ubuntu_ | and then u forgot your password so we cant do it in the longrun anyways | 05:52 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: yes, because you were unhappy about doing it in public | 05:52 |
| ubuntu_ | OH no im fine in public!!! that was just me talking about the regular pastebin site cus I saw it posts your message up forever and I was like, wow, but then I see the ubuntu pastebin doesn't have a huge archive for everyone in public to see | 05:53 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: ubuntu: well, I can send you a new key, and remember my passphrase, but you'll get another scary warning message! | 05:53 |

| silv3r_m00n | what is causing this issue ? | 05:59 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: OK yea 4 made it say that response | 05:59 |
| StepNjump | btw, I'm running an ACER notebook | 05:59 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: so this means that /dev/sda4 has all that stuff in it and /dev/sda3 is empty | 05:59 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: right? | 05:59 |
| Lasers | StepNjump: Yes. Well, you could look in /var/log/dpkg.log to see the latest packages (installed). Determine which packages did it. Also, try "startx" to start X manually. | 06:00 |
| codehotter | we can double check by typing df -h, go ahead and pastebin that too | 06:00 |
| ubuntu_ | Hmm I guess it might , Im pretty sure SDA3 is what I just formatted so then yea ur right | 06:00 |
| ubuntu_ | OK | 06:00 |
| StepNjump | Ok thanks a lot Lasers, that will help a lot in case it happens again. | 06:00 |
| Lasers | StepNjump: It'd be better to learn how to configure/fix/get on IRC/learn about tty/etc instead of reinstalling fresh OS everytime a little hiccup occur. | 06:01 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/697069/ | 06:01 |
| StepNjump | Lasers would you have any ideas which updates I should beware of in the future? | 06:01 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: yep, it's nearly empty (1% used) | 06:01 |
| Lasers | StepNjump: None, really. It can be anything. Learn about TTY first. | 06:01 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: ok, so back in the ubuntu installer, can you select /dev/sda3 as the partition to install on? | 06:01 |
| Lasers | StepNjump: Remembrer... Control+ALT+F7 BRING YOU BACK. That's F7. F-SEVEN. | 06:02 |
| StepNjump | I salvaged my information via TTY Lasers fortunately I could do that lol! Ok... You are right. Where could I learn about TTY Lasers please?? | 06:02 |
| Lasers | !tty | StepNjump | 06:02 |
| ubottu | StepNjump: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 06:02 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: in the installer, you have the option "Use free space" right? | 06:02 |
| StepNjump | ok thanks | 06:02 |
| StepNjump | Yes this is what I tried to do | 06:03 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: if you have the option "use free space" then you can delete the /dev/sda3 to make it free space | 06:03 |
| StepNjump | I didn't know about startx command though lasers thanks a lot | 06:03 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: then try to install ubuntu to the free space | 06:03 |
| StepNjump | Wished you had been there when this happened months ago | 06:03 |
| StepNjump | Wish | 06:03 |
| Lasers | StepNjump: Sure. Also, learn about irssi or weechat. It's a CLI IRC client. Great if you want to chat through terminal or in TTY. | 06:04 |
| StepNjump | oh cool. that's awsome! | 06:04 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: im back i was AFK sorry | 06:06 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: OK , in the installer, it doesn't really give me lots of options | 06:06 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: It says, either replace windows or do something else | 06:06 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: I click on "do something else," and it says Allocate Drive Space | 06:07 |
| cvam | I've upgraded to natty some days ago. by uname -a I got to know that my sys uses kernel 2.6.35-22-generic . In boot directory I have another version of kernel(2.6.38) | 06:07 |
| codehotter | what does it say on that screen besides allocate drive space? | 06:07 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: then it lists me the partitions, I highlighted sda3 , but it doesn't really say it's gonna use that to install onto, and then below it all it has Device for boot loader installation: and I don't know what I should pick for that because I already have GRUB installed | 06:07 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: what buttons does it show you? | 06:08 |
| DND | guys | 06:08 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: but I highlighted sda3 for that aswell | 06:08 |
| cvam | what should I do . how to use newer kernel. what's the advantage for newer one | 06:08 |
| ubuntu_ | buttons? oh just QUIT BACK and INSTALL NOW | 06:08 |
| DND | in terminal, how can i killa all process that uses "curl" ? | 06:08 |
| cvam | I've upgraded to natty some days ago. by uname -a I got to know that my sys uses kernel 2.6.35-22-generic . In boot directory I have another version of kernel(2.6.38)what should I do . how to use newer kernel. what's the advantage for newer one | 06:08 |
| jroysdon | cvam, newer kernels are typically released for bugs/security issues, and also to improve performance, etc. | 06:09 |
| ikonia | !info linux-image natty | 06:09 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: OK, I recommend you pick /dev/sda (no number) for bootloader and /dev/sda3 for install | 06:09 |
| ubottu | linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.38.11.26 (natty), package size 2 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) | 06:09 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: OK, yeah sda 2 is the one with windows right | 06:09 |
| ubuntu_ | whatever, im sure it is | 06:09 |
| === `Abhijit` is now known as `Abhijit | ||
| codehotter | sda1 and sda2 seem windows, and sda4 seems to have some important stuff but I'm not sure what | 06:10 |
| codehotter | sda3 is empty | 06:10 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: well it says sda4 is for windows backup | 06:10 |
| ubuntu_ | restoration | 06:10 |
| codehotter | ok | 06:10 |
| codehotter | alright that makes sense\ | 06:10 |
| ubuntu_ | but the thing about SDA blank though! | 06:10 |
| blinkiz | Hello. I monitor some files on my servers like the checksum of sshd. It has changed this morning and it is probably just a security update. Anyway, can I verify the current checksum against a value on the Internet somewhere? | 06:10 |
| ubuntu_ | it says its called TOSHIBA MK3252GS (320.1GB) so I think it's just the name of all the partitions together?? | 06:10 |
| === GreenCloud is now known as Antrax2000 | ||
| cvam | jroysdon: OK I got 2 versions of kernel. How can I use newer one | 06:11 |
| Stanley00 | cvam: try update-grub | 06:12 |
| Stanley00 | cvam: if that not work, add it manually :( | 06:12 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: what do you think it seems like sda (no number) could be all of them together | 06:12 |
| ubuntu_ | to me | 06:12 |
| codehotter | yes, but the bootloader should go there (NOT the installation) | 06:13 |
| ubuntu_ | right so putting the bootloader on the SDA no number wont mess up the windows inst? because the SDA no number doesn't even have a lable like NTFS and it's space is the space of all the rest together so im worried it might overwrite EVERYTHIGN by selecting that for the bootloader | 06:14 |
| ubuntu_ | and also, I already have GRUB on my computer I installed it off the liveCD so couldnt I just skip installing a bootloader? | 06:14 |
| Stanley00 | ubuntu_: install there is equal to install to MBR somehow... | 06:14 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: selecting /dev/sda for the bootloader will make your main bootloader grub | 06:15 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: if you already have grub, you may skip it, but I do not recommend doing so | 06:15 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: it's not certain the existing grub installation will work properly with your new ubuntu install | 06:15 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: OK , does it matter if sda 2 and 4 have (loader) after their names on this installer though? | 06:16 |
| codehotter | I'm not sure what that means. | 06:16 |
| codehotter | blinkiz: debsums openssh-server | 06:16 |
| codehotter | also check /var/log/dpkg.log | 06:17 |
| ubuntu_ | codehotter: OK I selected the sda no number as the bootloader, and 3 as the installation, and it gave me this error message : No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu | 06:17 |
| codehotter | blinkiz: you should get the md5sum file for openssh-server from the internet, since the malware planter may have modified the md5sums file on your system too ; |) | 06:17 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: you need to go back to the partitioning menu | 06:18 |
| codehotter | sorry can somebody help ubuntu_ here? I need to go | 06:18 |
| codehotter | ubuntu_: good luck :( | 06:18 |
| andrew_ | hey, I was wondering how I get the automounter to mount with sudo privileges, so that files can be drag/dropped using the file manager? | 06:18 |
| ubuntu_ | there's no partitioning menu though... it only has this as its first screen in installation lol | 06:18 |
| ubuntu_ | OK thx for help codehotter love u bro | 06:18 |
| andrew_ | since right now, the files are locked | 06:18 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: try edit /etc/fstab file | 06:18 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, what does the line need to be for a usb keydrive? | 06:20 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: usb key is mount automatically, | 06:20 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 is the line | 06:21 |
| StepNjump | lasers and others, good night... I will try that weechat see if I can figure it out and after that it's time for bed. Good night all | 06:21 |
| ubuntu_ | Hey anyone here good at installing ubuntu? I am lost on it badly can't get past first screen of installation on liveCD | 06:21 |
| ubuntu_ | GNIGHT stepnjump | 06:21 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: I dont know what you mean when you said root privileges? | 06:22 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, well, all the icons in the file manager are have a locked symbol, and I want to be able to read/write to the drive with the file manager when it automounts | 06:23 |
| dfcnvt | Am I to learn that this new ubuntu version is disabled on screensaver? | 06:23 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: is that a cdrom drive? | 06:23 |
| andrew_ | no, a 4gb USB thumbdrive | 06:23 |
| ubuntu_ | hey guys im having a huge problem with the installation it is giving instructions that don't exist, makes 0 sense at all | 06:24 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: I think you should comment out that line in fstab and replug your thumbdrive again. | 06:24 |
| andrew_ | ill gve it a shot, thanks | 06:24 |
| binni | what kind of problems are possible to happen related to if I install ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 and just upgrade it regularly through synaptic, instead of waiting for ubuntu 11.10 and do the same? | 06:25 |
| spartan07 | hey guys is there a way to do 3 screens on a evga gtx 295? my 3rd screen does not work and needs to be HDMI. Anyone having an issue like this? | 06:25 |
| spartan07 | running ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 06:26 |
| urlin2u | binni, same install if nothing breaks | 06:26 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, no dice with that approach | 06:26 |
| binni | urlin2u: okay, thanks. | 06:26 |
| stepnjump | Lasers, if you are still here, it worked with weechat! Thank you very much | 06:26 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: can you pastebin the output of command "mount"? | 06:27 |
| ubuntu_ | <-- really desperate for installation help, stuck on same screen for 3 hours.. - . - | 06:28 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, http://pastebin.ca/2082947 | 06:29 |
| andrew_ | ubuntu_, what's on that screen? | 06:30 |
| andrew_ | and did you get the right install for your system (x86, x64, desktop, laptop,etc) | 06:30 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: and you still cant read the files in /media/disk? | 06:30 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: thx man, well basically its the LiveCD installation for ubuntu and, yea, really pathetic right? but I installed it in 2009 without these weird issues though | 06:30 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: yeah I have 64 bit windows so I got the 64 bit ubuntu installer | 06:31 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: oh i have a laptop though... but i just saw 1 option for 64 bit | 06:31 |
| dhruvasagar | Hey is there a way for me to run a bash script without having for the commands to actually work, just to kindof test what it is supposed to do ? | 06:31 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, I can view yes, but not write. | 06:31 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: but thing is, its stuck on this screen saying Allocate Drive Space | 06:31 |
| ubuntu_ | listing my partitions, telling me to select device for boot loader installation, | 06:32 |
| ubuntu_ | and no matter what i pick it always tells me : No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu. | 06:32 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: any ideas what this all means? | 06:32 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: it's strange, can yout pastebin the out put of "ls -l /media/disk" please? | 06:32 |
| andrew_ | Ubuntu - there should be an auto-partition tool included with the liveCD, did you use this, or try and set up your own custom partitions? | 06:33 |
| binni | dhruvasagar: if it doesn't require root privileges then run it under a dummy user and see what happens, if it requires root privileges and changes the system then maybe you can run it undir virtual box. | 06:33 |
| binni | under* | 06:33 |
| ubuntu_ | UPDATE: I just realize all the partitions dont have mount points , should I set them? but problem is it only gives me /dos and /windows to set the mount points as.... | 06:33 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: im just following after you click on the desktop icon saying Install | 06:33 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, http://pastebin.ca/2082952 | 06:34 |
| dhruvasagar | binni: yes I am aware of the virtualization options, this is actually a script written by me, some of the commands are run with sudo so they require that. But I just wanted to check and see if the messages in between commands are formatted correctly, I guess I will simply comment out stuff and confirm that | 06:34 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: any ideas? | 06:35 |
| andrew_ | ubuntu_, try restarting the install, and install straight off instead of using the "try it out" option? | 06:35 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: but I want to dual boot | 06:35 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: hmm, is your username andrew? it looks normal here, | 06:35 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: my whole point is i wanna put it on a 6 GB partition I just formatted , while leaving my windows in tact | 06:36 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, yeah, username is andrew. | 06:36 |
| ubuntu_ | andrew_: so i think that if I just did the install straight off it would format everything right | 06:36 |
| ubuntu_ | ? | 06:36 |
| sdperez79 | does anyone play ava from ijji.com? | 06:36 |
| andrew_ | ubuntu_, you'll have to replace the windows boot record with one from a bootloader and edit the bootloader as appropriate for a dual boot. | 06:36 |
| DontTrip | anyone have any trouble logging into google chrome "set up sync" in 11.04? It just keeps trying to authenticate and never errors out | 06:36 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: one more thing, can you pastebin "ls -l /media" and "cat /etc/fstab" ? | 06:36 |
| sdperez79 | im am trying to run that fps shooter game on linux any ideas? | 06:37 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, http://pastebin.ca/2082953 | 06:38 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: thanks, I will look at that | 06:38 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, np, thanks for taking a look. | 06:38 |
| greenmang0 | hi friends, i am running few windows VMs on a linux system using virtual box, i want to access those VMs through other ubuntu and windows system in network... (access as in the GUI, so that developers can test the website on different versions of IE , FF, and Chrome) .. is that possible? and if yes, how | 06:40 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: what is the output of "groups andrew" ? | 06:41 |
| LigH | Greetings. | 06:41 |
| alkafoo | greenmang0: yes | 06:41 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, andrew : andrew adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin | 06:41 |
| LigH | I found a lot of websites talking about "Ubuntu hangs while booting unless I press a key". How may I help detecting my specific reason? | 06:42 |
| greenmang0 | alkafoo, how can i do that? | 06:42 |
| ikonia | LigH: are you currently having a problem ? | 06:42 |
| alkafoo | greenmang0: there's a built-in VNC thing, let me see how one accesses it | 06:42 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: thay are all look normal.... cant figure out why... | 06:43 |
| LigH | ikonia: Not always, but today again. | 06:43 |
| ikonia | LigH: could you explain the problem please. | 06:43 |
| alkafoo | greenmang0: ah okay, Settings > Display > Remote Display (tab) | 06:43 |
| alkafoo | greenmang0: connect with vncviewer, I imagine | 06:43 |
| jroysdon | yup | 06:43 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, would it help if I gave you the error for when I try and write to the device? | 06:44 |
| alkafoo | greenmang0: actually I'm looking at a Windows version of VirtualBox just now and it says RDP, but there's definitely VNC support there too | 06:44 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, or should we create a separate fstab entry with specific arguments for this? | 06:44 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: oh, I forgot that, | 06:44 |
| alkafoo | greenmang0: dunno if that's just substituted for the Windows build or what | 06:44 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, forgot which? The fstab entry? | 06:44 |
| greenmang0 | alkafoo, let me check | 06:45 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: the error message :)) | 06:45 |
| LigH | I have a multiboot environment (Ubuntu 11 in 32 and 64 bit, and Windows XP). When I select the entry for one of the Ubuntu installations, sometimes it stays with a blank black screen; when I press any key, even just "Ctrl", the mouse switches off and on, and a few seconds later the magenta text boot screen with the 4 dots appears. | 06:45 |
| alkafoo | greenmang0: but even if it's just rdp and not vnc, you could use rdesktop or freerdp from Unixland | 06:45 |
| ikonia | LigH: how do you know the mouse switches on and off ? | 06:45 |
| bilegt | where is rc.conf in ubuntu? | 06:46 |
| alkafoo | bilegt: what're you trying to accomplish? | 06:46 |
| LigH | It is an optical mouse, partially transparent. The red LED is visible. | 06:46 |
| LigH | USB mouse. | 06:46 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, http://pastebin.ca/2082956 | 06:46 |
| harry_ | bilegt:/etc/init/rc.conf | 06:46 |
| ikonia | LigH: have you looked at the possability of removing the boot splash so you can see what's going on behind the boot up process ? | 06:47 |
| LigH | I may try that. I hope the GRUB Customizer has a matching option, or I would have to read the GRUB 2 manual first ... | 06:48 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, I also just looked at the permissions for a folder within /media/disk/ which revealed that it is read write, belonging to group: root | 06:48 |
| ikonia | LigH: grub customizer ? | 06:49 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: it said read-only? but mount said that it mount rw, | 06:49 |
| andrew_ | in the file manager, it said read-write. | 06:49 |
| sdperez79 | onplayonlinux how do i create a shortcut on ubuntu 11.04 on the desktop | 06:49 |
| andrew_ | but the group says root, which is not a group that showed up in andrews groups andrew output | 06:50 |
| sdperez79 | i accidentally deleted it | 06:50 |
| andrew_ | would that be the trouble? | 06:50 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: I dont know why it said group root, but the owner has all permission, and the group has nothing | 06:50 |
| sdperez79 | programs still there just wanted a short cut | 06:51 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, though the thing that strikes me as odd is that it refers to the drive as a read only FS | 06:51 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: I think you should backup your UDB and reformat it... | 06:51 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, just fdisk it or cfdisk it? | 06:51 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: use the Disk utility instead... I prefer GUI tool :) | 06:52 |
| LigH | ikonia: https://launchpad.net/grub-customizer -- used this to edit some options related to the appearance, e.g. using a lower-res mode for the GRUB menu. The shipped "StartUp Manager" is not really GRUB 2 compatible anymore. | 06:52 |
| ikonia | LigH: I've never used that tool so I don't know how it may/may not effect anything. | 06:53 |
| LigH | Afterwards I executed "sudo grub-update" to ensure it being rebuilt compatibly. Afterwards it started several times without delay, so it was usually fine. | 06:53 |
| LigH | It stalled sometimes before I ever installed grub-optimizer. | 06:54 |
| sdperez79 | in playonlinux how do i make a shortcut from the programs i have installed(playinlinux)to desktop | 06:54 |
| LigH | So it is not related to this. | 06:54 |
| sdperez79 | ubuntu11.04 | 06:54 |
| LigH | Rather to a cold-starting device, probably. | 06:54 |
| ikonia | LigH: I'm not blaming it, I just saying I don't know how that tool works, so I don't know the effects it will have. | 06:54 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, which menu is the disk utility located under? | 06:55 |
| LigH | Currently it has the kernel parameters "quiet splash", Shall I try to remove both? | 06:55 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: did you backup ALL your usb? | 06:56 |
| andrew_ | yup, got it now, cp -R /media/disk to a ~/backup folder | 06:57 |
| andrew_ | and found out this system didn't have disk utility by default | 06:57 |
| andrew_ | so it's downloading from the synaptic package manager now | 06:57 |
| LigH | Details about grub-optimizer: https://answers.launchpad.net/grub-customizer/+faq/1355 -- it aims at editing the menu order and misc. options, while preserving the dynamic generating features. | 06:58 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: start DIsk utility, just click on the USB diskdrive, look on the right panel, you will see format... | 06:58 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, what scheme should I use? | 06:58 |
| andrew_ | MBR, right? | 06:59 |
| Stanley00 | andrew_: yes | 06:59 |
| LigH | ikonia: Currently it has the kernel parameters "quiet splash". Shall I try to remove both? | 07:00 |
| ikonia | LigH: up to you. | 07:00 |
| LigH | '< | 07:01 |
| LigH | BRB - maybe... | 07:01 |
| andrew_ | Stanley00, thanks for the help, we're good to go now that the backup and reformat has happened. | 07:04 |

| === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` | ||
| melvincv | I asked as the GRUB2 configuration is very complex compared to GRUB. | 07:09 |
| melvincv | I can't figure out how to do it myself :( | 07:09 |
| ikonia | melvincv: can you see the time out option ? | 07:10 |
| Stanley00 | melvincv: all config is in /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d/* , althoung it's a bit complex too :) | 07:10 |
| melvincv | Yes, I tried that in grub.cfg. Doesn't work... | 07:10 |
| melvincv | I need to boot to the recovery mode. How do I do that? | 07:11 |
| Stanley00 | melvincv: press Shift or Ctrl at booting time doesnt help? | 07:11 |
| ikonia | melvincv: you need to do it from the grub menu, if you change the time out to above 0 you'll see the menu | 07:11 |

| melvincv | Stanley00, is it shift or ctrl? | 07:13 |
| Stanley00 | melvincv: nvm, how many OS do you have on your system? | 07:13 |
| Stanley00 | melvincv: I dont remember, one of them will show the grub menu | 07:14 |
| melvincv | Just Ubuntu 11.04. I need to get to it's recovery mode. | 07:14 |
| Stanley00 | melvincv: That's the point, it seem that if you have only one OS, the time out will not work at all :( | 07:15 |
| melvincv | OK, will the shift or ctrl key work if there is only one OS? | 07:15 |
| Stanley00 | melvincv: I hope so | 07:16 |
| LigH | ikonia: Just had a kernel update for new Nvidia drivers; afterwards, the booting process got stuck with the mouse switching off, but not back on, so I had to reset the PC. Then it booted after a little while without pressing any key, but not with the expected amount of logging, fsck was the first I could read. You see, it is not reliable, and I may need another source of logs to search for possible reasons. Will try with the 64-bit version | 07:16 |
| LigH | afterwards. | 07:16 |
| ikonia | LigH: that to me sounds like you have a hardware issue | 07:17 |
| ikonia | LigH: possible the disk you are trying to boot not spinning up quick enough, | 07:17 |
| ikonia | or a simple motherboard error. | 07:17 |
| ikonia | or ram | 07:17 |
| ikonia | etc | 07:17 |
| LigH | Or USB. | 07:17 |
| ikonia | exactly. | 07:18 |
| LigH | I remember a version of Ubuntu years ago, which wouldn't boot at all unless I plugged out the APC BackUPS. | 07:18 |
| ikonia | LigH: I don't believe this is an ubuntu issue, rather a hardware issue as I've stated | 07:18 |
| ikonia | LigH: if it was an OS issue, I'd expect it to do it every time | 07:18 |
| dragonkiller666 | i can get the 11.04 to boot from usb it get a point then it stops and my screen goes black | 07:19 |
| LigH | Yes, probably a driver which was not perfectly programmed, often due to the lack of specifications from the manufacturer. | 07:19 |
| ikonia | LigH: no, I'll say it again | 07:19 |
| ikonia | LigH: I don't believe this is a software error - it sounds like a hardware error | 07:19 |
| ikonia | LigH: if it was a software error, I'd expect it to be doing it every time. | 07:20 |
| ikonia | LigH: so not drivers. Hardware. | 07:20 |
| LigH | Well. How to detect those ... as long as it boots after a keypress (or one reset in a while), I doubt it is worth much more effort. | 07:21 |
| avelldiroll | dragonkiller666: did you check the md5sum of the iso file you used to make your liveUSB ? did you check the liveUSB on antother computer ? | 07:21 |
| ikonia | LigH: There is your answer then | 07:21 |
| LigH | :| - Some like philosophical replies more than others... | 07:21 |
| LigH | :P | 07:21 |
| LigH | \o CU | 07:21 |
| ikonia | LigH: it's not philosophical you just said it wasn't worth the effort, so then carry on | 07:22 |
| dragonkiller666 | avelldiroll i just tested it on my wifes laptop and it worked fine | 07:25 |
| dragonkiller666 | never mind it came up with error | 07:26 |
| avelldiroll | dragonkiller666: ok, so the culprit is most probably your usk key/disk, the iso or the process you used to build it | 07:27 |

| anjay-hard | hi guys , how to disable utc in terminal | 07:29 |
| avelldiroll | dragonkiller666: the live system does not find the data it needs on the usb disk | 07:30 |
| scarleo | anjay-hard, utc is a global concept, you can't disable utc. What is it you want to do? | 07:36 |
| dragonkiller666 | what do i need to do | 07:37 |
| anjay-hard | I am building a livecd , the utc is not necessary | 07:38 |
| rww | anjay-hard: if you mean "how do I change my timezone?", sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata is the command-line way. | 07:38 |
| anjay-hard | let me try | 07:39 |
| Zgomot | /s irc.lug.ro | 07:39 |
| avelldiroll | darkcharl: test the usbkey (or try another one), check the iso's md5, and review the process you used to prepare your liveUSB | 07:39 |
| avelldiroll | arf sorry darkcharl, i meant dragonkiller666 | 07:39 |

| rww | rhin01: no, this channel isn't for 11.10 until it's released | 07:44 |
| rhin01 | ok | 07:44 |

| rhin01 | finally | 07:44 |
| farciarz84 | anyway skype doesn't dock in taskbar in 11.10 it is in unity bar. Unfortunately it disappeared from unity. Hot to bring it to screen? | 07:44 |
| farciarz84 | hot=how | 07:44 |
| elky | My unity icons have all gone invisible. This is less than helpful. | 07:45 |
| farciarz84 | ok but from console, I hope there is a way to bint it to my screen (skype proc) | 07:46 |
| farciarz84 | bint=bring | 07:46 |
| farciarz84 | because now I cannot do anything. There is skype process running and I cannot use it. Taskbar icon is not avaiable, unity icon cracshed. | 07:48 |

| avelldiroll | farciarz84: i don't know, but you are using 11.10 hence #ubuntu+1 | 07:48 |

| sux | Hi, can anyone help me? I have laptop with 6GB of ram and intel/ati-readon switchable graphics card. I installed ubuntu 11.04, but it shows me that I have 2.3 GB of RAM.. and tried debian and gentoo live CD to check if I have the same problem in other destro. but still it keep showing me that I have 2.3GB of RAM, is it because of switchable graphics? | 09:57 |
| lag | csenger41: I'd like to know what channel to take it to? | 09:57 |
| hamed | aufs 1.3G 133M 1.1G 11% / | 09:58 |
| hamed | none 1.3G 672K 1.3G 1% /dev | 09:58 |

| FloodBot1 | hamed: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:58 |
| csenger41 | hamed: use pastebin | 09:58 |
| csenger41 | lag: idk, maybe u should try asking it here later when some smarter ppl are here | 09:59 |
| sux | csenger41, but when I tried live-cd of 64 bit it still shows me the same result? | 09:59 |
| csenger41 | sux: i think it isnt because of switchable graphics | 10:00 |
| csenger41 | sux: try installing a 64bit Ubuntu, it should solve the problem | 10:01 |
| Pooky1 | hi guys, I have little problem. When i start ubuntu there is error "Can't mount disk /tmp becouse serious error" i skip it and then it stop on checking screen ( - Stopping System ... - Starting bluetooth - Starting web server - Checking battery state ) i remove this disk bat i dont know where setup to don't mount it | 10:01 |
| sux | csenger41, hmmm.. Thanks.. let me go and install it would only take about 15 minutes.. let's see if solves the problem | 10:01 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: whoaaa, slow down there | 10:02 |
| tapout | how do i remove all video drivers for my ati card? | 10:02 |
| csenger41 | sux: ok, bye good luck :) | 10:02 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: ok ok | 10:02 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: is /tmp on a disk that is a problem ? | 10:02 |
| csenger41 | tapout: launch jockey and hit remove | 10:03 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: tmp should be on root disk, bat it seems it not | 10:03 |
| theadmin | Pooky1: More of an obvious question, is /tmp on the same device as /, I mean, you did not specify a separate mountpoint for it, right? | 10:03 |
| theadmin | Err... | 10:03 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: do you have an ubuntu CD you can boot from ? | 10:03 |
| theadmin | Well, I think I've been clear enough | 10:03 |
| ikonia | theadmin: crystal | 10:03 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: not right there bat i can do it if there is no another option | 10:03 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: we need to know the issue you are having with your disk, it's easier to do this from external media, such as a livecd | 10:04 |
| tapout | csenger41, the weird thing is, jockey says its' not enabled/installed. I know the amd binary they gave me was hosed | 10:04 |
| theadmin | LiveCD, liveUSB, anything, not necessarily Ubuntu, by the way, though preferable, Pooky1 | 10:04 |
| Pooky1 | theadmin: i do not specifice any another location for /tmp bat it seems its on the disk which i remove - i check fstab bat there is only one disk to mount | 10:05 |
| Pooky1 | theadmin: i have access to console | 10:05 |
| theadmin | Pooky1: Hm, what *is* your fstab? | 10:05 |
| theadmin | Pooky1: Can you pastebin it? | 10:05 |
| Pooky1 | i cant | 10:05 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: can you pastebin your fstab ? | 10:05 |
| conntrack | fs-tab | 10:05 |
| ikonia | conntrack: got anything useful to say ? | 10:05 |
| Pooky1 | the pc which is fstab dont have access to network | 10:05 |
| tapout | recovery -> xorg low graphics mode -> ran the amd-uninstall.sh --force, ran jockey, enabled their driver, and rebooted... FIXED. Yay.. thanks csenger41 | 10:06 |
| csenger41 | tapout: yw ^.^ | 10:06 |
| csenger41 | i have a question too guys | 10:06 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: could you copy the line that says /tmp in your fstab for us | 10:06 |
| csenger41 | how can i adjust my monitor contrast and gamma? | 10:06 |
| csenger41 | its a laptop | 10:07 |
| ikonia | csenger41: that's normally done at the hardware level | 10:07 |
| theadmin | Pooky1: Does fstab have a line saying "shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0"? It's the only thing that seems related to it in my fstab | 10:07 |
| ikonia | csenger41: I've never seen a laptop that can do that | 10:07 |
| csenger41 | under Windows 7 it can be done with ATI Catalyst | 10:08 |
| ikonia | csenger41: if the linux drivers support it, I'd imagine the same is true then | 10:08 |
| Pooky1 | oh | 10:08 |
| theadmin | Pooky1: Can't be sure that's what it is, though, with my 3.0 kernel things may be a bit different... | 10:08 |
| Pooky1 | damit you right | 10:09 |
| paulus68 | csenger41: these are 2 different OS and you can try to install the ATI drivers afterwards | 10:09 |
| csenger41 | but on Ubuntu if I install the driver from jockey, it becomes slow as hell | 10:09 |
| Pooky1 | i miss the line with /tmp | 10:09 |
| Pooky1 | damit | 10:09 |
| ikonia | csenger41: that's just a limitation of the ati drivers.....the support for all cards is not great in linux | 10:09 |
| paulus68 | ubuntu_: especially if you are running on 64bit | 10:10 |
| csenger41 | but if ati driver is NOT installed, the performance is much better | 10:10 |
| paulus68 | csenger41: especially if you run on 64 bit | 10:10 |
| theadmin | csenger41: You can use the "xgamma" tool for gamma adjustement via command-line, but I'm not sure about that other thing | 10:10 |
| joe-f3 | is it possible to have one local IP point to another? (a LAN ip changed to something else, and I need to point basically 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.3) | 10:10 |
| ikonia | csenger41: that's not unusual for some cards | 10:10 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: 64bit has nothing to do with it | 10:10 |
| Pooky1 | ok, i comment it and try reboot it | 10:10 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: darn it, not you, sorry | 10:10 |
| ikonia | joe-f3: could you explain it a bit better please. | 10:11 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: you fell in the same trap lol | 10:11 |
| csenger41 | its 32bit and an older ATI Radeon HD2600 card | 10:11 |
| ikonia | csenger41: possibly why the modern drivers support it poor | 10:11 |
| Pooky1 | well now is there no error, bat still and on same :D can get to login screen from console manualy? | 10:12 |
| joe-f3 | ikonia: i'm running membase, and it's no longer connecting as all of the node ip's have changed.. i basically need a resolv.conf type of thing but one ip to another.. | 10:13 |
| joe-f3 | ikonia: it's basically a quick hack so i can get my app up until couchbase can look at it | 10:13 |
| ikonia | joe-f3: just cheat it in the hostfile | 10:14 |
| ikonia | joe-f3: map the ip address to a hostname in the host file, then reference the machines by hostname rather than IP | 10:14 |
| csenger41 | so any other software that can adjust contrast and gamma like catalyst? | 10:14 |
| tapout | pidgin is supposed to be at: ~/.purple, but it's not. Any idea where it would be ? | 10:16 |
| joe-f3 | ikonia: i can't change the current bad ip that it's calling.. i'll google hostfile | 10:17 |
| theadmin | tapout: That's the normal configuration directory for it, it won't store configs elsewhere | 10:17 |
| ikonia | joe-f3: if you can't change the ip - then you can't do it | 10:17 |
| csenger41 | well bye guys | 10:17 |
| csenger41 | ill try installing catalyst from ati homepage | 10:17 |
| tapout | theadmin, ok thanks. I see the problem :) | 10:19 |
| joe-f3 | ikonia: i'm at least able to override the bad ip with a good dns entry for now.. :) | 10:20 |
| Chotaz | Hello everyone I have a general question, but might aswell ask here since the system I'm using is Ubuntu. We want to create a sort of Raido on our company, and we're searching for a way to do so, like creating a shared playlist, that everyone can independantly add songs to and have a computer reproducing it. | 10:20 |
| joe-f3 | ikonia: can i create a local dns entry, that points to the correct ip? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | joe-f3: just use /etc/hosts | 10:21 |
| theadmin | Chotaz: Icecast? | 10:22 |
| JLuc | hello | 10:23 |
| Chotaz | theadmin: I'm gonna search for it. | 10:23 |
| JLuc | im on a basic natty ubuntu freshly installed. What is the name of the file manager ? | 10:24 |
| theadmin | JLuc: Nautilus | 10:24 |
| JLuc | ok thanks. in what repertory is it ? | 10:25 |
| theadmin | JLuc: Uhm, I think it is in "main". | 10:25 |
| KIAaze | and if you meant folder: | 10:25 |
| JLuc | i got it ! in usr/bin | 10:25 |
| ikonia | JLuc: it's already installed | 10:25 |
| JLuc | i needed the adress for another program preferences | 10:26 |
| ComradeHaz` | Hi all. Running a live 11.04 and have just installed the lated util-linux package that appears to be available, but the version of fdisk packaged therein is out of date and contains a bug that causes me a problem. It is fixed in later versions. Is there upstream stuff, the equivalent of Debian's testing or Unstable that might contain a later version? | 10:26 |
| KIAaze | try the which command next time: "which nautilus" ;) | 10:26 |
| KIAaze | dpkg -L and apt-file also come in handy to find files from packages or vice-versa | 10:27 |
| JLuc | ok | 10:27 |
| tomodachi | ComradeHaz`: well fdisk is a command line tool with very few, if any dependencies. You can always download a newer "deb" extract the binary and use it from there i believe | 10:28 |
| Pooky1 | Ok guys, ubuntu stuck on "Stopping anachronictic cron" and I can't run gdm manually any idea how deal with it? | 10:28 |
| JLuc | great ! | 10:28 |
| tomodachi | ComradeHaz`: or just compile it from source | 10:28 |
| ComradeHaz` | tomodachi: yeah, I was looking for a version, but I don't actually know where to get it from | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: what's happened to your machine ? | 10:28 |
| tomodachi | ComradeHaz`: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ should have it, check there | 10:29 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: many things...bat i just move it on collage and it broken | 10:29 |
| tomodachi | ComradeHaz`: maybe you can use cfdisk , or parted or gparted instead though? | 10:29 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: day before it works just fine | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: do you get any errors/warnings on boot up ? | 10:30 |
| ehw | /win 2 | 10:30 |
| ehw | urgh | 10:30 |
| ComradeHaz` | hmm, not sure tomodachi, valid point. How does cfdisk differ? | 10:30 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: nothing, just normal boot and then it stuck on this last line | 10:30 |
| tomodachi | ComradeHaz`: its adifferent tool for partitioning a bit more "graphgical" than fdisk | 10:31 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: failing to start cron isn't a massive problem, | 10:31 |
| Pooky1 | i dont think it fail on it | 10:31 |
| Pooky1 | it just stop on it | 10:31 |
| tapout | how do you guys organize your photos on ubuntu? I have so many photos and i want to encrypt SOME of them :) | 10:31 |
| Pooky1 | before it stuck on "battery checking" | 10:31 |
| Pooky1 | so i reainstall gnome-power-manager | 10:31 |
| Pooky1 | and now it stuck on this | 10:31 |
| ikonia | why do you re-install things ? | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: something must have happened to this machine for /tmp to be removed from fstab and packages needing to be re-installed | 10:32 |
| KIAaze | tapout: encrypt how? like with ecryptfs? or password protected? | 10:33 |
| tapout | either/or | 10:33 |
| tapout | was hoping something was integrated with it | 10:34 |
| KIAaze | ecryptfs-mount-private is the easiest way to get an encrypted Private dir I think | 10:34 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: yes, something happend bat i dont have idea what. Now i remove one disk which make boot error and now i use only the "root" disk to boot. I know there is problem bat i just want solve it | 10:34 |
| KIAaze | then just place the pictures you want to encrypt in there | 10:34 |
| KIAaze | but by default, it gets mounted when you log in, so anybody using your account will see them | 10:34 |
| pamwe_chete | is it possible to have a wm in ubuntu in kiosk mode, with access to firefox only, and with firefox restricted to one website? | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: because you don't know what's happened and why, and you've changing the disk config, it may be better to backup your data and re-install | 10:34 |
| KIAaze | otherwise as a software, shotwell is quite good | 10:34 |
| KIAaze | but it's also the only one I tried since it's the default one on ubuntu | 10:35 |
| ComradeHaz` | gah, tomodachi, cfdisk cotains the same bug. | 10:35 |
| pamwe_chete | shotwell is rubbish because it doesn't convert (eg jpg to png) and doesn't resize photos | 10:35 |
| KIAaze | for password protected dirs, I'm not quite sure | 10:35 |
| KIAaze | but I suppose it should be possible with ecryptfs too somehow | 10:35 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: it's last solution and i don't have nothing there to backup it on. I was glad when i find screwdriver... what about some log? it should say what went wrong | 10:36 |
| KIAaze | pamwe_chete: then what is better? :) | 10:36 |
| tapout | pamwe_chete, what else is there? shotwell is highly rated with the reviews | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: it won't, and you'll spend more time chasing something that may/may not have happened. | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: use the second disk you had to backup to | 10:37 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: my second disk is full | 10:37 |
| pamwe_chete | KIAaze: i guess i'm hoping the devs improve shotwell, as it's a default app | 10:37 |
| pamwe_chete | i'm not sure what there is to replace it | 10:37 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: what data do you currently have on the machine ? | 10:37 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: and i have really tuned up ubuntu for work so i really wan't setting everythink again | 10:37 |
| AFD | I am trying to add a password prompt before a .sh script can be run. Can someone tell me how to do this please? | 10:38 |
| tapout | have you guys tried picasa? someone mentioned that | 10:38 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: on another movies, series programs, backups | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: but your machine is a mess, it's had serious errors (devices dissapearing from fstab) and now your randomly installing packages, I'd strongly suggest re-installing the OS after a data backup | 10:38 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia: we meaby missunderstanding on fstab nothing dissaper i remove this disk i just miss line on fstab which mount this disk when i configure it | 10:39 |
| avelldiroll | pamwe_chete: shotwell aim more at being a collection manager than an image editor, the features you are asking for are those af an image editor | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: I see, the machine is till in a serious mess though. | 10:39 |
| avelldiroll | *aims | 10:39 |
| KIAaze | AFD: http://pastebin.com/yGjVb2cw about as unsecure as possible ^^ | 10:40 |
| KIAaze | but it works | 10:40 |
| tapout | i wish i could get a local dropbox running, where all the files are hosted locally. I know about rsync and that, but where it's integrated right into win7/ubuntu and you don't have to do anything :) | 10:40 |
| pamwe_chete | avelldiroll: then imagemagick should be installed by default | 10:40 |
| AFD | KIAaze: thank you! | 10:40 |
| pamwe_chete | for a desktop | 10:40 |
| paulus68 | Pooky1: the best thing is to do a backup and do a fresh installation | 10:40 |
| KIAaze | the password is in clear text in the script, so it's pretty worthless as a security measure | 10:41 |
| AFD | KIAaze: I understand but for this purpose I think that is safe enough, it is more so that the script is never run by accident | 10:41 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia you are right, bat i really can't do it now, i just need to keep it alive for couple days when next ubuntu realease come out i will make fresh install, bat now i really need to keep it work | 10:41 |
| theadmin | AFD: Why not just have a "Are you sure?" prompt? | 10:41 |
| KIAaze | you could try doing something with md5 and sh1 | 10:41 |
| KIAaze | sha1* | 10:42 |
| tapout | afd, couldn't you do a sudoers account where it can only run 1 script and then they have to sudo to do it? something like that | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Pooky1: then deal with it in a couple of days | 10:42 |
| KIAaze | but not sure how to do it directly without some more trying | 10:42 |
| tapout | i think sudo lets you do what you're trying, you can setup an account to run certain scripts, and then to run them, they have to sudo (i think this works)... i don't think sudo is only for root stuff | 10:42 |
| avelldiroll | pamwe_chete: if you know how to use imagemagick, you know how to use the command line, so you know how to use apt-get | 10:43 |
| Pooky1 | ikonia thanks for help i will deal with it | 10:43 |
| KIAaze | (and yeah, being a script, if it's readable, there is not much point in password-protecting it, unless it's some kind of binary script like those game installers) | 10:43 |
| AFD | It's something my boss wants rolling out ASAP (which is always the case) but we may revisit it later. I knew about the sudo option for just running that one file but it's more of a double-check (I like the idea of a "Are you sure" prompt btw) | 10:43 |
| pamwe_chete | avelldiroll: the average user wants tobe able to edit photos out of the box | 10:43 |
| theadmin | KIAaze: Rather simple, actually -- read x ; mkfifo tmp ; echo $x > tmp ; md5=$(md5sum tmp|awk '{print $2;}') ; if [ $md5 == "hash_of_needed_password" ] ... | 10:44 |
| AFD | theadmin: I'm copying that for future use ;) | 10:44 |
| KIAaze | me too :) | 10:44 |
| KIAaze | thx | 10:44 |
| tapout | is there a dropbox alternative that is *secure*? where no matter what, they can't see your data/files? | 10:45 |
| tapout | i know dropbox says they can't, but it's been proven that they can | 10:45 |
| KIAaze | spideroak! | 10:45 |
| theadmin | tapout: What KIAaze said. | 10:45 |
| avelldiroll | pamwe_chete: do you know anyone that keeps a system "out of the box", or we don't have the same definition of the "average user" | 10:45 |
| KIAaze | spideroak also allows you to have multiple syncs | 10:45 |
| theadmin | tapout: spideroak does CLIENT-side encryption, soo... | 10:45 |
| theadmin | tapout: Or, honestly, just put your stuff in a TrueCrypt container on the dropbox :P | 10:46 |
| avelldiroll | pamwe_chete: anyway, this was discussed at length when gimp was removed from the livecd to get more room | 10:46 |
| paulus68 | theadmin: and just pray that you don't loose your passphrase ;) | 10:47 |
| avelldiroll | pamwe_chete: the fact is, translations are more important than image editing out of the box | 10:47 |
| theadmin | paulus68: Well, heh, true enough | 10:48 |
| JLuc | what is the shortcut to switch screen with keyboard ? | 10:48 |
| tomodachi | JLuc: switch desktop screen you mean+ ctrl+alt left (or right) | 10:49 |
| Nemie | ctrl+alt+ arrows | 10:49 |
| JLuc | yes super ! | 10:49 |
| tomodachi | JLuc: you can also use "windows button + s" for an overview of desktops in unity | 10:49 |
| theadmin | tomodachi: We have no windows button. We have the Super key. | 10:49 |
| JLuc | great tomodachi | 10:50 |
| tomodachi | theadmin: is that what its called? (i have a macbook but didnt think i could call it the command key, wich it is for me) | 10:50 |
| theadmin | tomodachi: Well, in Linux that key is called "Super_L" for the left one and "Super_R" for the right one, according to xmodmap | 10:51 |
| === cnu_ is now known as cnus8n | ||
| tomodachi | theadmin: ok thanks for the input, thats good to know | 10:52 |
| Fargh | hi all | 10:52 |
| Fargh | anyone can help me with setting up routing for vpn pptp ? | 10:53 |
| Fargh | vpn is working, only issue is that all traffic is chunneled trough the VPN. | 10:53 |
| theadmin | Fargh: Well, like what? Do you connect to the internet with pptp? If so, just "sudo route add default dev ppp0" | 10:53 |
| sobersabre | hi. | 10:54 |
| JLuc | when cmaking a programm, the dest rep should be /usr/bin shouldn it ? | 10:54 |
| Fargh | the theadmin, i want to avoit that all traffic goes trough the vpn | 10:54 |
| theadmin | Fargh: Ah... More complicated then | 10:54 |

| dandandrums | hello soersabre and p1oooop | 10:54 |
| p1oooop | odam, I need to clear some files | 10:54 |
| sobersabre | I have messed up the partition table. I thought need to reinstall grub. I booted into the live CD, chrooted into the root partition, mount -a, mounted /proc, sys, etc. and ran: update-grub. | 10:55 |
| p1oooop | hay dandandrums | 10:55 |
| JLuc | or /opt | 10:55 |
| sobersabre | After the reboot I am still getting grub rescue> prompt. | 10:55 |
| sobersabre | I think I didn't do what I thought I did. | 10:55 |
| dandandrums | sobersabre, i had the same issue once upon a time | 10:55 |

| p1oooop | hmmm | 10:56 |
| sobersabre | so what do I need to run to re-install the grub boot manager properly with this new grub2 ? | 10:56 |
| dandandrums | i took the affected harddrive, put it in a usb disk caddy, connected that to a ubuntu machine, took all the files i could and re-installed | 10:56 |
| wildbat | sobersabre: you need to reinstall grub2 | 10:56 |
| sobersabre | do I edit any /etc files ? | 10:56 |
| sobersabre | wildbat: how do I reinstall grub2 ? dpkg-reinstall ? | 10:56 |
| sobersabre | sorry, aptitude reinstall ?! | 10:56 |
| wildbat | !grub | sobersabre: chroot again and do grub-install | 10:57 |
| ubottu | sobersabre: chroot again and do grub-install: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 10:57 |
| sobersabre | sounds .... inherently incorrect: the app is already installed. I only need to install something into MBR. | 10:57 |
| sobersabre | Oh, this is what I need! | 10:57 |
| sobersabre | thanks. | 10:57 |

| sdperez79 | how do i install a bz2 app? | 11:09 |
| theadmin | sdperez79: It's an archive, extract it, there should be a file called "INSTALL" or "README" inside, normally. | 11:10 |
| sdperez79 | its a exe file | 11:11 |
| theadmin | sdperez79: You make no sense. exes don't run in Linux. | 11:12 |
| sdperez79 | i am new and i know exe dont run in linux but thats what i get when i extrac | 11:12 |
| auronandace | !software | sdperez79 | 11:13 |
| ubottu | sdperez79: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 11:13 |
| theadmin | sdperez79: Then, this is not for Linux, and you should throw it away | 11:13 |
| LjL | sdperez79: ok, where did you get that file from and what is it | 11:13 |
| sdperez79 | the file is cligrab-3.1.0.2.bz2 | 11:13 |
| sdperez79 | http://clipgrab.de/en | 11:13 |
| auronandace | !find clipgrab | sdperez79 | 11:13 |
| LjL | sdperez79: that page says "for Windows"... | 11:13 |
| ubottu | sdperez79: Package/file clipgrab does not exist in natty | 11:14 |
| sdperez79 | there is a linux version | 11:14 |
| LjL | sdperez79: so get the Linux version. which does *not* contain an .exe file, i've just tried it. | 11:14 |
| Diamondcite | sdperez79: Use the 'file' command on the .exe if it says it's windows, won't work as good | 11:14 |
| Diamondcite | sdperez79: For example: file clipgrab.exe | 11:15 |
| Diamondcite | patcher.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows <---- windows app output | 11:16 |
| sdperez79 | my file is clipgrab-3.1.0.2.bz2 | 11:16 |
| theadmin | sdperez79: Right, it does not contain any exes. | 11:16 |
| LjL | sdperez79: type "bunzip2 clipgrab-3.1.0.2" to extract it. | 11:16 |
| LjL | sdperez79: type "bunzip2 clipgrab-3.1.0.2.bz" to extract it. | 11:16 |
| LjL | gah | 11:16 |
| theadmin | sdperez79: It just contains a file, which apparently is a binary. Extract it, make it executable, move it to /usr/local/bin or another folder in your $PATH | 11:17 |
| MonkeyDust | i think the installer for clipgrab is a linux thing, but the program itself is for win | 11:19 |

| salvatore | hi there i am trying to install the ruby 1,9.2 from terminal with this script sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1. But i get ruby 1.8...why? any suggestion? | 11:19 |

| LjL | !info ruby1.9.1 | 11:20 |
| ubottu | ruby1.9.1 (source: ruby1.9.1): Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby 1.9.2. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.2.0-2 (natty), package size 34 kB, installed size 176 kB | 11:20 |
| LjL | salvatore: is that on Natty? | 11:21 |
| salvatore | yes | 11:21 |
| LjL | salvatore: how do you know you're getting ruby 1.8? | 11:21 |
| salvatore | ruby --version | 11:22 |
| LjL | salvatore: run ruby1.9.1 --version instead | 11:22 |
| ikonia | which ruby | 11:22 |
| ikonia | "which ruby" | 11:23 |
| salvatore | ok | 11:23 |
| salvatore | ok if i write ur script what version will i be using? | 11:24 |
| LjL | salvatore: scripts will use ruby 1.8 by default. i guess there must be a good reason for that. you must run them explicitly with ruby1.9.1, or perhaps (though i doubt it) you can "sudo update-alternatives --config ruby" to change the default | 11:25 |
| auronandace | salvatore: which is a terminal command, not a script | 11:26 |
| === cipher is now known as Guest3267 | ||
| salvatore | if i write this command sudo update-alternatives --config ruby response is a message errore: no alternative for ruby | 11:27 |
| ljsoftnet | salvatore if u run that command ubuntu will install whats in the repositories | 11:27 |
| LjL | salvatore: ok, as i said i was doubting that would work. just run your scripts with ruby1.9.1 when you need to use that version | 11:28 |
| salvatore | so now i got 2 versions installed on my computer? 1.8 and 1.9.1? | 11:29 |
| LjL | salvatore: that's correct | 11:29 |
| LjL | salvatore: and again, i'm betting there is a good reason why 1.8 is the one being used by default. 1.9.1 probably breaks older scripts. | 11:29 |
| salvatore | ok thanks | 11:29 |
| xoveruk1 | what are good websites for wireless hardware reviews? | 11:30 |

| MonkeyDust | JLuc: try Alt-F2 | 11:35 |

| ikonia | JLuc: you have to run it from a command line interface | 11:35 |
| JLuc | its a graphic programm, not a command line one | 11:35 |
| LjL | JLuc: that's what you happens when you compile stuff instead of getting it from the repositories :)( | 11:35 |
| ikonia | JLuc: but it needs to be launched from a command line | 11:36 |
| JLuc | ok | 11:36 |
| JLuc | there must be a way for it to appear in menus ? | 11:36 |

| alexandh | i have a massive problem with mdraid on ubuntu-server 10.04 LTS | 11:50 |
| alx_ | hi all | 11:50 |
| alexandh | problem is that after software update, initramfs cannot find mdraid module and than cannot find root | 11:51 |
| alx_ | is it possible to have i386 and x86 libraries and binaries installed ? | 11:51 |
| theadmin | alx_: Um, that's the same thing | 11:51 |
| alx_ | need to compile qt4 32 bit under x86_64 ... | 11:51 |
| theadmin | alx_: Ah | 11:51 |
| alx_ | forgot x86_64 :) | 11:51 |
| theadmin | alx_: Well, I think the package is ia32-libs or something | 11:51 |
| alexandh | is it possible to change grub.conf to force boot from sda1? | 11:51 |
| ikonia | alexandh: grub boots where ever your kernel is | 11:52 |
| ikonia | alexandh: if you point it at a kernel on /dev/sda1 it will boot /dev/sda1 | 11:52 |
| alexandh | yes, but its very tricky as it drops imediatly to busybox | 11:52 |

| ikonia | alexandh: then you've not pointed it correctly | 11:52 |
| alx_ | theadmin, yes... but what about qt4-dev-tools (example) ... apt-get install qt4-dev-tools:i386 want to remove qt4-dev-tools (x86_64 version) | 11:52 |
| alx_ | which is fine, as they install same files... | 11:53 |
| alx_ | don't know :( | 11:53 |
| alexandh | maybe. can you tell me what i shoud put in grub.conf? | 11:53 |
| alexandh | i dont know how to tell in grub directly | 11:53 |
| ikonia | alexandh: I don't have a grub2 machine to hand to work it through with you | 11:53 |
| alexandh | ok i see. grub2 is really a tricky thing | 11:54 |
| ikonia | the ubuntu has it configured, it's a monster | 11:54 |
| alexandh | how can it come that mdraid module cannot be found? | 11:54 |
| ikonia | alexandh: what makes you think it can't be found, | 11:54 |
| alexandh | in the first place it showed: cannot load modules... gave up waiting for root device | 11:55 |
| tapout | if you delete stuff as root in nautilus, where does it go? Trash doesn't show anything, throws an error | 11:55 |

| === |Jester| is now known as JollyJester | ||
| jrib | adam__: use useradd with -p and perl's crypt function. Google "crypt perl useradd" if you want examples | 12:03 |

| adam__ | since that had one way encryption i wasnt sure if i could use it | 12:05 |

| adam__ | *be a user generated password with no human input | 12:08 |

| wxf | yes,it can. | 12:19 |
| tapout | orated, it uses rsync and does backups over time. It efficientlly stores your backups so you don't have to worry at all. It's like git+rsync all in one | 12:22 |
| tapout | you setup hourly/daily/weekly/monthly, and you can go back to a week ago from today, to see what the files were... | 12:23 |
| orated | tapout: Ok, but atm I want to take immediate backup and want it in parts basically. | 12:23 |
| tapout | trust me, you should check it out before you do that | 12:23 |
| tapout | rsnapshotdoes it so efficiently and easily, you can even do your db backups | 12:24 |
| orated | I'm out of space, do not have backup HDD.. crossovercables for rsync over it won't work since the other system is also out of space | 12:24 |
| orated | ok | 12:24 |
| tapout | without space, you'll be hard pressed anyways.. look into rsnapshot tho | 12:25 |
| orated | tapout: Any backup obviously requires equivalent space but rsnapshot cannot do compression nor parts, it ill not be of any usse to me. Nevertheless, I'll find about it.. Do you think split flag can be added in above command I typed? | 12:26 |
| orated | if rsnapshot* | 12:26 |

| rkhshm | i just bought a new HD as my old one was dieing.. i connected the new 500GB HD to the mobo and plugged in my USB with 11.04 on it and it says 'BOOT ERROR" | 12:45 |
| rkhshm | no matter what I try i'm unable to figure it out. | 12:45 |
| rkhshm | any ideas? | 12:45 |
| iceroot | rkhshm: the hdd or the usb-drive is reprting the error? | 12:45 |

| Quantum_Ion | theadmin, thanks | 12:46 |
| rkhshm | iceroot: i cant say that..because the moment after BIOS loads i get that error.. But I suspect that HD is the issue because i tried the same USB on my laptop with USB boot turned on.. And it booted fine. | 12:46 |
| iceroot | rkhshm: is it a grub error? or a bios-error? | 12:47 |

| theadmin | JLuc: First, please speak freaking ENGLISH, there are no such words as "repertory", it's hard for us to understand you when you use your own, made-up terms. Secondly, no, it's not gonna work that way, you have to reinstall appropriately. | 12:56 |

| mehrenst | just downloaded 11.04 iso image from ubuntu.com but it does not fit onto a CD as the size is 714 MB. Am I doing something wrong? | 13:29 |
| lessshaste | mekwall, the normal answer is that you are not using hardware acceleration properly.. do you know what driver you are running? | 13:29 |
| pksadiq | !Md5 check this on downloaded iso | 13:30 |
| ubottu | pksadiq: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:30 |
| rkhshm | i'm trying to create a gparted USB stick.. | 13:30 |
| lessshaste | mekwall, have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ? | 13:30 |
| rkhshm | is it just sufficient to copy the ISO directly to the USB device? | 13:30 |
| pksadiq | !Md5 | 13:30 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 13:30 |
| mehrenst | thanks a lot. I will check | 13:30 |
| mekwall | lessshaste: hardware acceleraiton is running, I've already checked that. and other stuff is smooth. running the latest driver from the x-updates repo | 13:30 |
| lessshaste | mekwall, nouveau or the commercial one? | 13:31 |
| mekwall | lessshaste: nvidia-current (guess thats nouveau?) | 13:31 |
| wyang_ | blinkz, msmtp? | 13:31 |
| lessshaste | mekwall, try the link I pasted in that case | 13:31 |
| lessshaste | mekwall, hmm.. nvidia-current should be the binary driver I thought | 13:33 |
| mekwall | lessshaste: yeah I guess it is... I purged all the nvidia packages directly after install and then added the x-updates repo, so its probably not nouveau | 13:33 |
| lessshaste | mekwall, ah... can you read your X logs to see if there are any warnings? | 13:34 |
| mekwall | lessshaste: could be warnings bogging up :) good call... willl check | 13:34 |

| somsip | aboudreault: there are a few public AMIs that are available. Just search for them | 13:41 |
| aboudreault | somsip, that's not my question | 13:41 |
| edbian | nmvictor: I don't think so because I've never heard of that | 13:42 |
| dean | Hi all I like k9copy but I want a ripper to rip the dvd to hard drive before I transcode is there a ripper better for that? | 13:42 |

| web_ | hello there ! | 13:43 |
| web_ | hi there ! | 13:44 |
| johnm | nmvictor: it's safe to say, no. Not at all. It's currently a undisclosed filesystem subject to change, with no pubblic references made available. | 13:44 |
| dean | pksadiq, This is for dvd ripping not audio | 13:44 |
| nmvictor | edbian: Windows 8 might finally lock out linux with its secure booting, well am reading that the protogon FS might mean an 8sec boot for windows 8, so i wondered if Linux has support for this FS. | 13:44 |
| johnm | nmvictor: if you're talking about finding a solution to an "8 second boot" then there are already many available. | 13:45 |
| web_ | is there any one to tell me how to change my boot team on ubuntu matice ? | 13:45 |
| nmvictor | johnm: am looking to write linux drivers if it shows up | 13:45 |
| web_ | is there any one to tell me how to change my boot team on ubuntu matice ? | 13:46 |
| nmvictor | johnm: am not looking for such a soln, it just got me interested. | 13:46 |
| edbian | nmvictor: I don't think it's the filesystem that will allow an 8 second boot (although it probably helps). Yeah I've been reading about UEFI and the issues there. I think when it is actually a problem (hardware vendors are actually using it) we'll have come up with some solution. I am pretty sure the way it's implemented right now you can simply turn it off | 13:46 |
| johnm | nmvictor: the UEFI spec is somethign a little different, its hardware and software vendor collaboration with keychain protection, it isn't "windows" per se. It'll be interesting though for sure. | 13:46 |
| johnm | nmvictor: ever tried to reverse engineer a microsoft filesystem? :) | 13:46 |

| Jordan_U | kcm1700: rm './--' | 13:47 |
| kcm1700 | thanks a lot | 13:47 |
| nmvictor | johnm: why? | 13:47 |
| johnm | nmvictor: tbh, I don;'t think its anything revolutionary, it's essentially just a database driven FS, similar to which already exist. It's non-compliant in many respects as well. | 13:47 |
| nmvictor | johnm: :) | 13:47 |
| Jordan_U | kcm1700: You're welcome. | 13:47 |
| johnm | nmvictor: Just curious, I'd like to wish you good luck in doing so and hope you stick it out - would be worth looking into support from the SFLC as well - just as a precursor. | 13:48 |
| edbian | nmvictor: I've seen linux systems that boot in ~3 seconds | 13:48 |

| johnm | nmvictor: install bootchart and inspect whats taking the time | 13:51 |
| nmvictor | johnm: sure. i'd look into that | 13:51 |
| edbian | nmvictor: There is a tonne of stuff you can do. http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ | 13:51 |
| sara | hi | 13:52 |
| johnm | nmvictor: histortically slow boot is caused by a linear init boot process, pending wait on device dependancies, and/or lack of preload. Most of it depends on what you actually have installed, frankly ;) | 13:52 |
| johnm | nmvictor: If you want a lightning boot process, use hibernate ;) | 13:52 |
| drapedup | johnm: isn't that essentially what win8 is doing? | 13:53 |

| sanderj_ | Do anyone know if there is any diffrence in the datafiles between mysql 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.1 | 13:57 |
| sanderj_ | <sanderj_> and 5.1.37-1ubuntu5.5 on ubuntu 9.10. | 13:57 |
| sanderj_ | ops | 13:57 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: data files ? they are yours | 13:57 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: you should be able to export/import between the versions without issue | 13:57 |
| sanderj_ | ikonia, with exportg/import you mean only copy the data files from one dir to another install? | 13:59 |
| dean | Hi does anyone use Handbrake in here? | 13:59 |
| sanderj_ | ikonia, should or is? | 14:00 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: well, you may have to do things like change the permissions on the database | 14:00 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: eg: the new database will need to grant permissions to the new schema, | 14:01 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: I'd suggest doing a mysql_dump on the database, then importing from that | 14:01 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: but in theory you could just copy the files and run a grant, but that's a very sloppy way | 14:01 |
| ikonia | dean: yes, why | 14:01 |
| sanderj_ | ikonia, Why do I need to run a grant if I copy all the internal data also? | 14:02 |
| dean | ikonia, I was wondering if you knew what option you have to select to make sure the subtitles appear after converting? | 14:02 |
| web_ | hello | 14:02 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: I wouldn't advise moving ALL the databases, just the personal schema | 14:02 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: replacing the mysql db from antoher box isn't a good idea | 14:02 |
| ikonia | dean: there is a subtitle check box | 14:03 |
| ikonia | dean: there is also the #handbrake channel | 14:03 |
| sanderj_ | ikonia, if it's the same version, then it's ok I guess. | 14:03 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: no, | 14:03 |
| dean | ikonia, There is default, burned in and forced I didn't know which is best to use | 14:03 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: depends on how it's setup there could be references to hostnames/ip addresses that no longer are valid | 14:03 |
| ikonia | dean: #handbrake is your friend on that one, I never use subtitles so don't understand the difference | 14:04 |
| dean | ikonia, Ok thanks | 14:04 |
| sanderj_ | ikonia, I'm setting up the same ip adress also, because i'm moving it from one virtual platform to another. | 14:04 |
| sanderj_ | ikonia, the same ip I mean. | 14:04 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: again, I would strongly not recommend it | 14:04 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: the internal mysql database is quite fussy and very core to your functionality, better to export the schemas and import into a new running database | 14:05 |
| sanderj_ | ikonia, what if I have the same version on both places? | 14:05 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: the version is not the issue as I've said | 14:05 |
| sanderj_ | ikonia, it will take so long time with 1200 databases. | 14:05 |
| ikonia | sanderj_: why are you against exporting and importing | 14:05 |

| fireprint | oh look at that!.. thanks! Appreciated edbian | 14:08 |
| edbian | fireprint: sure | 14:09 |
| fireprint | what exactly did the --replace& do? | 14:09 |
| edbian | fireprint: ur window decorator crashed. (look at window decorations in ccsm) that command restarts compiz (and restarts the decorator) | 14:09 |
| MonkeyDust | fireprint: the & makes it un in the background | 14:09 |

| fireprint | So it would've done the same thing if i restarted the computer? | 14:10 |
| _cb | To get active directory like functionality I would need to deploy LDAP + SAMBA + Kerberos, right? (Any easy to use GUI's that would help with implementation and management?) | 14:12 |
| fireprint | edbian, am i correct in thinking that a hardrestart of my laptop would restart as well? | 14:12 |

| reinhold | Does anyone have an idea when libguile 2.0 (released in February) will be available as a ubuntu package? In LilyPond, we heavily depend on guile, and we'd like to finally make the switch to guile 2.0. But since we depend on ubuntu packages for our docs writers etc. we can't switch to guile 2.0 as long as ubuntu doesn't have any guile 2.0 packages... | 14:13 |

| fireprint | photofficine, if you dont feel comfortable with using that, try removing the settings for the ssid you have now.. and retype in info. Like forget the one you're using and redo it. Might also be that simple | 14:44 |

| ionite | ikonia: it's based on ubuntu isnt it? | 14:49 |
| ikonia | ionite: it's not ubuntu | 14:49 |
| fireprint | photofficine, try using wicd just as a trial, and if that does not help im not sure what it could be to be honest. | 14:49 |
| ikonia | ionite: it's support channel is #easypeasy | 14:49 |
| ikonia | ionite: http://www.geteasypeasy.com/help/ | 14:49 |
| dean | ikonia, I have read it isn't the same as mp4 though just uses the same codec | 14:49 |
| ionite | ikonia: assuming i am doing it through ubuntu. what do i type in terminal> | 14:49 |
| ikonia | dean: again, #handbrake is your friend | 14:49 |
| ikonia | ionite: -no, you are not, use the correct support channel | 14:50 |

| usr13 | xbuntu: What did ls /lib/modules/2.6.38-11-generic-pae/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko say? | 14:59 |
| xbuntu | nothing | 14:59 |
| xbuntu | all it does is just paste the same text i just wrote | 14:59 |
| ikonia | orated: if you backup the disk, it will be backed up, if you backup a partition, you'll need to apply the boot loader manually to the mbr | 14:59 |
| usr13 | xbuntu: So you are sure the file does in fact exist? (Yes. No.) | 14:59 |

| scwizard | ActionParsnip: nope, I was just doing adduser Charlie | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | SubNormal: they won't always be available in all situations | 16:08 |
| scwizard | went adduser Abe | 16:09 |
| scwizard | adduser Abe Admin | 16:09 |
| scwizard | then peaced out | 16:09 |
| scwizard | now when I try and ssh-copy-id Abe@someipaddress tis' saying it doesn't have permission to make .ssh | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | scwizard: admin is in lowercase | 16:09 |
| scwizard | so now I need to go to each of the various peoples I made and chown | 16:09 |

| ActionParsnip | velory: I found ~/.config/gedit | 16:26 |
| velory | ah thank you ActionParsnip | 16:26 |
| dr_willis | DrGamut: theres supposed to be some way you can run a seperate desktop on the other screen. but ive never really found a need to use seperate X displays in twinview. | 16:26 |

| nathanel | hey there amigos: question: how can i run chromium as normal user within a script running with sudo using xdg-open "http//....." ? | 16:26 |
| dr_willis | nathanel: you could use the su command in the script to start somtning as a normal user. | 16:26 |
| velory | umm no gedit directory there ActionParsnip there's gedit directory inside ~/.gnome2/gedit/ but there's no plugins directory there :/ | 16:26 |
| velory | opened one but didn't help | 16:27 |
| nathanel | dr_willis: will try now thx :) | 16:27 |
| DrGamut | dr_willis, I'm not using TwinView, I was having issues with TwinView and I wanted to try separate X screen to see if it may be more to my liking. The only problem I have now is that there is no menu bars or launchers on the other X screen. | 16:27 |
| dr_willis | DrGamut: that is a twinview feature to have one wide desktop, or 2 seperate X displays in the nvidia-settings tool. | 16:28 |
| dr_willis | DrGamut: what issues with using a single wide desktop were you having? | 16:28 |
| xbuntu | nvm fixed it | 16:28 |
| xbuntu | :-) | 16:28 |
| nathanel | dr_willis: it returns Unknown id: xdg-open 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin' | 16:28 |
| DrGamut | dr_willis, oh, I assumed they were separate because the options are either "TwinView or separate x screen". The problem I'm experiencing in TwinView is an occasional "wave" or vertical line that travels down the screen - where the picture is horizontally shifted on either side of it. | 16:29 |
| DrGamut | It's not terrible but it's an annoyance. | 16:29 |
| dr_willis | there may be some guides out on using 2 X sessions but ive never needed to do it DrGamut . You basically need to somehow tell the 2nd x session to start a desktop. | 16:29 |
| DrGamut | I don't have the problem using the 2nd display alone, or using both displays in Windows. | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | velory: sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins then copy the deb from /var/cache/apt/archives extract it and see what's going on. I don't use gedit so can't really comment much beyond running the app | 16:29 |
| dr_willis | twinview is the term for the nvidia's fancy xinerama replacement. | 16:29 |
| _cb | Is there anything like active directories for ubuntu? (I know LDAP provides a directory but does AD is more than a directory) | 16:30 |

| nathanel | dr_willis: it returns Unknown id: xdg-open 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin' | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | DrGamut: or is it called vblank. | 16:30 |
| DrGamut | dr_willis, I'll check the options. | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | nathanel: means nothing to me.. try it with some differnt command see if it works. could be somthing odd with xdg-open | 16:30 |

| nathanel | dr_willis: whatare the other default variables for using efault browser in ubuntu then? | 16:31 |
| DrGamut | dr_willis, although honestly I would prefer separate x screens if I could get another desktop session going. It's more suited to my purposes, as I'd like to have the 2nd screen detached from my 1st screens workspaces. | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | nathanel: never used them. so no idea. | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | DrGamut: id say check the forums or the askubuntu.com site | 16:32 |

| dr_willis | bbl | 16:32 |
| tomodachi | DrGamut: with twinview you can decide to have two separate screens or one "joined" one. You can also have to sepeare X sessons on each output. But that you have to configure yourself in xorg.conf | 16:33 |
| nathanel | dr_willis: i tried calling nautilus, it gives me the root session even using su | 16:34 |
| BrixSat | hello :) i have a pen drive problem | 16:34 |
| DrGamut | tomodachi, can I configure separate screens with TwinView under the NVIDIA X settings tool? | 16:34 |
| DrGamut | the default is joined screens, right? | 16:34 |
| tomodachi | DrGamut: yes but it requires a restart | 16:35 |
| _cb | ActionParsnip That does look a lot like AD. Little I have read on the internet says Kerberos needs to be added. | 16:35 |

I imagine rsync is the tool for this though am unable to figure this out for myslf, can anyone help, please? | 16:36 |
| DrGamut | tomodachi, don't you mean the "separate x screen" option? because that's what I just did, but now I have no desktop session on the 2nd screen. Just a context menu and a background. | 16:36 |
| ActionParsnip | _cb: possibly but yes LDAP is a great tool for managing users and systems | 16:36 |

| llutz | devil2005: just confusing names, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 for some background | 17:30 |
| auronandace | devil2005: yes | 17:30 |
| Polah | devil2005: Yes. | 17:30 |
| bastidrazor | xbuntu: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i lm ..if you get output your processor can handle a 64bit OS | 17:30 |
| xbuntu | it can bast | 17:30 |
| xbuntu | lol | 17:30 |
| xbuntu | its core i7.. it has 8 logical cores | 17:31 |
| Snicksie | devil2005, that works just fine :) | 17:31 |
| devil2005 | so if i had an amd athalon and i wanted it to boot a live cd, i woudl downoad the amd64-alternate ? | 17:32 |
| auronandace | devil2005: if your athlon is 64bit then use the amd64 | 17:32 |
| devil2005 | i dont know if it is or not <:/ | 17:32 |
| dr_willis | then stick with 32bit. | 17:33 |
| devil2005 | which would be which download? | 17:33 |

| devil2005 | well i downoaded and burned the live cd i386 and it gave me an error | 17:33 |
| devil2005 | like "boot cd" | 17:33 |
| auronandace | devil2005: if ever unsure just use the i686 (it works on both 32 and 64) | 17:33 |
| devil2005 | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate | 17:34 |
| devil2005 | there is no i686 there | 17:34 |

| dr_willis | devil2005: and why do you think theres a 686? the 386 will do.. | 17:35 |
| dr_willis | the alternative is NOT a live cd... | 17:35 |
| dr_willis | you want the desktop cd. | 17:35 |

| dr_willis | llutz: but he dosent have a cd yet. :) that i know of.. | 17:39 |
| RubiksCube | I have an ATI card and am running the latest version of kubutu | 17:39 |
| dr_willis | devil2005: amd64 does not mean 'amd specific' its means its '64bit' | 17:39 |
| devil2005 | counter intuitive i think | 17:40 |
| dr_willis | the 64bit cpus are using the 'amd64 bit cpu extensions' i thinkis the proper phrase. | 17:40 |
| dr_willis | so thats why its called amd64 | 17:40 |
| benoliver999 | Hey - how stable would you say 11.10 is right now, for day to day use? | 17:40 |
| RubiksCube | oh | 17:40 |

| roxane | mang0: thanks! | 18:02 |
| DocPlatypus | Lasers_: is it not necessary anymore? maybe I'm behind the times, does Ubuntu always do this automatically? | 18:02 |

| === scwizard is now known as scwizard_ | ||

| Lasers_ | DocPlatypus: If you're writing a script or something, you pretty much know if you're putting in a Movie DVD disc before you run the script. Otherwise, Gnome have their automounting stuffs that will mount DVD. Not sure what you're trying to accomplish. | 18:05 |
| salvo | i got a problem with natty sidebar | 18:05 |
| DocPlatypus | Lasers_: so that's done as part of the mount. that's what I thought | 18:05 |

| aeon-ltd | scwizard: yes? | 18:06 |

| Niches | HI, I lost my pasphrase for my ubuntu home directory | 18:07 |
| amin` | aeon-ltd, yes i just installed it. about the bug I don't know. because using xmonad on server edition which has not much to mess with the transparency shouldn't cause much of a problem! | 18:07 |

| ActionParsnip | scwizard: looks ok to me | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Niches: ok that's clearer | 18:08 |
| llutz | pc600: cat in cronjob? likely unneeded | 18:09 |
| scwizard | ActionParsnip: meaning you got the question I asked about scp, or it didn't get sent to the channel? | 18:09 |
| larsduesing | pc600: maybe the cronjob-user has no execute (x)-right? *almost unlikely, but...* | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | scwizard: it was received ok by the channel | 18:09 |
| scwizard | ok | 18:09 |
| pc600 | llutz: - I need it. It reads a file and outputs it to parallel | 18:09 |
| DocPlatypus | Lasers_: no, it still has to fetch the keys somehow, it's not done as part of the mount like you say. | 18:09 |
| pc600 | jars - Cronjob user doesn't run under teh same rights of the account it's in? It's root. | 18:10 |
| DocPlatypus | I just tried it without, and I get all kinds of errors | 18:10 |

| BetaArk | Hi! I cannot boot the Ubuntu Natty amd64 iso with UEFI.. what I'm I doing wrong? I only get a blank screen.. If I set it to BIOS the live-cd loads fine | 18:37 |
| rhin0 | anyone know the location of openbox files -- mounted xp (for example) volume | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | BetaArk: did you MD5 test the ISO? | 18:38 |
| rhin0 | virtualbox | 18:39 |
| rhin0 | thats why I cn't find it | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rhin0: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=15868 | 18:40 |
| rhin0 | ok thanks ActionParsnip | 18:40 |
| BetaArk | ActionParsnip: Yes, it is the same. Also I can boot the live-cd in normal BIOS mode, but not inside UEFI. I also tried the newest (daily) iso, but no difference, still cannot boot with UEFI :S | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | BetaArk: what video chip do you use? | 18:40 |
| BetaArk | I have Optimus system, Intel HD + nVidia chipset | 18:41 |
| ActionParsnip | BetaArk: oh jeez, no idea then | 18:41 |
| BetaArk | ActionParsnip: Tried also with nouveau.modeset=0, but again.. just a blank 'hanging' screen :( | 18:41 |
| StepNjump | actionparsnip, you got my message about printer was connected in the phone plug? lol | 18:42 |
| BetaArk | So maybe giveup UEFI? | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | BetaArk: possibly: nouveau.blacklist=1 that optimus stuff is a real headache. all I can suggest is try and disable the intel so you only have nvidia running | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | BetaArk: its the optimus thinig. I've never seen a success story with it | 18:43 |
| BetaArk | ActionParsnip: You have right, going to try it. Thanks :) | 18:44 |

| llutz | Macelrick: google for it, theres a perl-script to convert dmg->iso | 20:01 |
| Macelrick | Yeah, i googled for like an hour straight, all lead me to this "dmg2iso", which didn't work.. | 20:02 |
| Macelrick | So i'm trying this iso buster program right now through wine. | 20:02 |
| Macelrick | I love linux...lol | 20:02 |
| curiousx | yeah! also in the repos there is a tool colled dmg2img | 20:02 |

| llutz | craigbass1976: ssh-keygen -R hostname | 20:20 |
| alkafoo | GTRsdk: that depends on the function, doesn't it? | 20:20 |
| alkafoo | _cb: but you _can_ boot to the desktop version? | 20:20 |
| GTRsdk | alkafoo: Yeah, for example, I want to have the numbers in the 5 - 10 rows to be put into the 15th row. | 20:20 |
| _cb | alkafoo yes by using the down key to select it | 20:20 |
| zykotick9 | _cb, if you installed server 2nd, boot server, then edit the default entry in /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" | 20:21 |

| _cb | zykotick9 done that several times but does not seem to work. Server is position 0, desktop position 4. Change the default but server still boots first | 20:22 |
| zykotick9 | _cb, are you editing in desktop or server? which did you install 2nd? | 20:23 |
| _cb | installed server 2nd, editing in desktop. | 20:23 |
| alkafoo | GTRsdk: be into? | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | _cb, server is in control of grub, you need to edit it's grub! | 20:23 |
| GTRsdk | alkafoo: I want the numbers to be added and then be put into the row | 20:24 |
| zykotick9 | _cb, or reinstall grub from desktop | 20:24 |

| alkafoo | _cb: I haven't used GRUB2 much, but GRUB(1) had an option to specify which rule was default regardless of order | 20:24 |
| zykotick9 | _cb, installing desktop and server seems foolish to me | 20:24 |
| curiousx | wplug_terryg: i did it | 20:24 |
| alkafoo | wplug_terryg: nope, maybe someone in #vbox | 20:24 |

| wplug_terryg | Yes | 20:26 |
| Somelauw | I don't want anything to become corrupt and especially not my fat32 filesystem. | 20:26 |
| zykotick9 | Somelauw, so long as you're doing a proper shutdown it "should" unmount externals fine | 20:26 |

| velory | llutz: well I don't want to write every individual file when opening gedit I want to choose whole folder and open all files inside | 21:17 |
| rhin0 | anyone know why with vinagre servername:0 on ubuntu 10.04 I can see the desktop but can't click on anything (control it) | 21:17 |
| alkafoo | rhin0: there's a pref for just seeing or actually being able to do stuff, too, IIRC | 21:18 |
| rhin0 | so maybe its the preferences on the server machine | 21:18 |
| rhin0 | or it is | 21:18 |
| curiousx | cya all =) | 21:18 |
| alkafoo | right | 21:18 |
| rhin0 | which means I have to get up and walk across the room - damn | 21:18 |
| jimubao | xbuntu: which conf did u edit ? | 21:20 |
| xbuntu | alsa base | 21:21 |
| alkafoo | rhin0: well you _could_ probably do it from SSH but =P | 21:21 |
| xbuntu | i had to because the sub was only playing | 21:21 |
| xbuntu | so i just added targa-2ch-dig | 21:21 |

| tularis | fucking hardware builder | 21:22 |
| tularis | i hate them | 21:22 |
| tularis | if they provided good drivers | 21:22 |

| VampsDaBeast | any way to find out thru term? | 21:25 |
| lnx1 | Hello all, ive asked before but im trying again... Hello, can anyone suggest some software that can be installed onto ubuntu desktops that counts down users and thenlogs them out? Like you would find on a windows based pc in say a library or an internet cafe? | 21:26 |
| maletor | Can I install http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/redis-server on 11.04? | 21:26 |
| alkafoo | lnx1: informing them of how much time they have left? | 21:27 |
| llutz | VampsDaBeast: Xorg -version | 21:27 |
| VampsDaBeast | llutz, ty | 21:27 |
| tomodachi | anyone know where to look so I can put a script that is triggered on suspend/resume? | 21:28 |
| alkafoo | lnx1: it'd be pretty easy to start a script from the shell or DE startup system and inform them with libaosd | 21:28 |
| xbuntu | llutz can u tell me why everytime i restart my comp i have to force reload my alsa?.. i just added an option line to alsa-base.conf.. and now my sound works perfect | 21:28 |
| xbuntu | but not when restart | 21:28 |
| llutz | xbuntu: no | 21:28 |
| jrib | lnx1: maybe timeoutd (never used it) | 21:28 |
| lnx1 | alkafoo: yes, basically i have 2 pcs setup that the public can use but there is now way to kick them off unless i ask them to leave, which doesnt really work in a public building where they are allowed to come and use them. basically to stop them hogging the pcs. | 21:28 |
| CaoYoussef | http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-bin/blogs/media/PAL_palestinian-loss-of-land.jpg | 21:29 |
| alkafoo | timeoutd does look right | 21:30 |
| LjL | CaoYoussef: that's not on-topic for this channel, please don't post it again | 21:30 |
| xbuntu | #xubuntu | 21:31 |
| CaoYoussef | LjL, ok | 21:31 |
| VampsDaBeast | llutz, do u have any exp[erience using nvidia cards | 21:31 |
| llutz | VampsDaBeast: i use one (6200 something), it works, thats my experience :) | 21:32 |
| lnx1 | alkafoo: if only i knew how to write such a script! :) i did try one from one website but no joy im afraid. | 21:32 |
| VampsDaBeast | llutz, hahah. ok.. im having a small issue between some games and all that i cant figure if its my cards drivers, or the game. | 21:33 |
| xbuntu | llutz do u know if u can install the normal video card driver for ur card on ubuntu or do u have to use the one they recc? | 21:33 |
| alkafoo | lnx1: you say jrib's msg, right? | 21:33 |
| alkafoo | saw | 21:33 |
| llutz | VampsDaBeast: i cannot help you, i don't play games at all. | 21:33 |
| xbuntu | vamp what games? | 21:34 |
| xbuntu | through steam? | 21:34 |
| qin | lnx1: How many users, same usernames, same time to kick? | 21:34 |
| VampsDaBeast | llutz, totally understandable | 21:34 |
| lnx1 | alkafoo: sorry! no, dont know what it is, let me google... | 21:34 |
| VampsDaBeast | xbuntu, no, they are those available thru the software center. | 21:34 |
| MaxHR | Hello, am looking to use my pcmcia flash card reader to boot a laptop that doesn't have a working cd drive, anybody know if this will work and how to set it up? looking to use Plop boot manager | 21:35 |
| xbuntu | Oh lol if u used steam or whatever i was gonna tell ya to do net_graph 3 but that command is only avaiable through steam | 21:35 |
| xbuntu | tell's ya fps | 21:35 |
| alkafoo | lnx1: it's what you want | 21:35 |
| alkafoo | lnx1: if it doesn't inform users, you can probably fix it like I said | 21:35 |
| xbuntu | that prolly woulda told u if it was ur card or just ur os or something. | 21:35 |
| rhin0 | alkafoo I think it's because of compiz on the server machine (vinagre can't control) | 21:36 |
| lnx1 | qin: 2 pcs in a public office, so 1 person on 1 pc at a time, (a local user account has been created, already logged in) just need to have some kind of timer to count down say 30 mins. | 21:36 |
| rhin0 | when I get up | 21:36 |
| VampsDaBeast | well the issue is when i play a FPS and switch off a server, the game locks up. | 21:36 |
| rhin0 | disable compiz - all ok | 21:36 |
| xbuntu | Hmm idk.. never had that issue | 21:36 |
| xbuntu | try google? | 21:36 |
| xbuntu | maybe someone else has had that issue | 21:36 |
| VampsDaBeast | next step | 21:36 |

| mattalexx | I'm trying to set up autofs but I can't seem to find which log file to tail in order to get mounting errors.. Which log file does autofs report to? | 21:38 |
| xbuntu | is there a command to tell you your video card? | 21:38 |
| zykotick9 | xbuntu, "lspci | grep -i vga" | 21:38 |
| qin | lnx1: use "users" to detect login and sleep 1800 && service gdm restart (need to be run as root and is very crude) | 21:38 |
| xbuntu | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce GTX 285M] (rev a2) | 21:39 |
| xbuntu | does that mean its in use? | 21:39 |
| xbuntu | or no? it says compatiable... | 21:39 |
| rhin0 | yes xbuntu | 21:39 |
| rhin0 | if its in lspci its in use | 21:39 |
| rhin0 | I think | 21:39 |
| xbuntu | well when i go to the nvidia control panel it doesnt say anything about gtx 285m.. | 21:40 |
| xbuntu | so i wonder if i can go to the nvidia website and download the driver | 21:40 |
| rhin0 | maybe go to the nvidia website look | 21:40 |
| rhin0 | yes | 21:40 |
| aboSamoor | whenever I open a terminal I get $ instead of my normal bash, any idea ? | 21:40 |
| xbuntu | can i use wine to open? | 21:40 |
| xbuntu | or just dl the linux if they have it | 21:40 |
| rhin0 | or look for hardware drivers on the machine | 21:40 |
| VampsDaBeast | thats wat im doing xb.. | 21:40 |
| rhin0 | hardware drivers from system preferences I think will maybe detect if drivers are available xbuntu | 21:41 |
| VampsDaBeast | nvidia does have linux driver | 21:41 |
| llutz | aboSamoor: you removed ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc? you don't use bash at all (echo $SHELL)? | 21:41 |
| xbuntu | mmk | 21:41 |
| rhin0 | system > administration > hardware drivers | 21:41 |
| rhin0 | click on that it will look for drivers for you | 21:41 |
| xbuntu | thank u rhin0 and Vamps kk i will try that rhin0 | 21:41 |
| xbuntu | and if there is none i will go to nvidia website | 21:41 |
| lnx1 | alkafoo + qin: thanks for your help!! much appriciated! will look into this now :) | 21:41 |
| mrgordon | hello | 21:42 |
| VampsDaBeast | xbuntu, be sure to look at the thread in the nvidia forums bout using the drivers.. its quite helpfuil. | 21:42 |
| qin | lnx1: For visible time you canuse conky, to make it easy. | 21:42 |
| qin | *timer | 21:42 |
| xbuntu | well rhin0 thats the thing... i have v 173 installed | 21:42 |
| xbuntu | but i think i can look up MY driver for my card on nvidia | 21:42 |
| rhin0 | research | 21:42 |
| xbuntu | made for my card | 21:42 |
| rhin0 | !forums | 21:42 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC freenode #ubuntuforums. | 21:42 |
| aboSamoor | llutz echo $SHELL gives /bin/sh | 21:43 |
| xbuntu | whats the command to see what driver u have install for ur vga | 21:43 |
| VampsDaBeast | xbuntu, you can .. findin the drivers for your specific card is simple.. | 21:43 |
| llutz | aboSamoor: and /bin/sh links to /bin/dash? | 21:43 |
| xbuntu | i know vamp | 21:43 |
| xbuntu | thats what im saying | 21:43 |
| VampsDaBeast | installin them is the tricky part | 21:43 |
| xbuntu | because when u install ubuntu they give u drivers | 21:44 |
| aboSamoor | llutz: yes | 21:44 |
| xbuntu | but not made for UR card | 21:44 |
| llutz | aboSamoor: chsh -s /bin/bash | 21:44 |
| xbuntu | well it is but it isnt.. | 21:44 |
| xbuntu | idk if that made sense but w.e | 21:44 |
| VampsDaBeast | correct, they are global/universal drivers | 21:44 |
| aboSamoor | llutz: chsh: user 'my_user' does not exist in /etc/passwd | 21:44 |
| VampsDaBeast | nvidia has started to make there drivers compitable for multi cards series' | 21:45 |

I shall move my photos onto my external drive but I would like to increase my ubuntu data space as well. | 21:45 |
| arada | hello | 21:45 |
| llutz | aboSamoor: ... thats odd, you don't exist... "getent passwd <yourusername>" | 21:46 |
| xbuntu | hagus i think u need to make a partition u cant just add space | 21:46 |
| xbuntu | i dont think | 21:46 |
| aboSamoor | llutz: it is there, my_user:x:2020:2020::/home/my_user:/bin/sh | 21:47 |
| hagus | Can I do it with partition manager type stuff or does the fact that I have used wubi suggest that I might need to reinstall? | 21:47 |

| llutz | aboSamoor: not really recommended, but if chsh fails: "sudo nano /etc/passwd" change /bin/sh into /bin/bash in that line starting with your username, save & quit | 21:49 |
| arada | It was all working yesterday. | 21:49 |
| llutz | aboSamoor: or try: sudo usermod -s /bin/bash <yourusername> | 21:50 |

| alkafoo | qin: how's that work? | 21:51 |
| aboSamoor | llutz: I can not see my username in /etc/passwd gotta to say that we are using NIS | 21:51 |
| arada | jrtech: what? | 21:51 |
| llutz | aboSamoor: oops, no idea how that works then. sry | 21:51 |

| ComradeHaz` | Hi guys, if I wanted to run a command such as "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep -i cycle" on each of my drives in turn, how would I do so? So 'pseudocode' to explain better, something like sudo smartctl -a /dev/sd[a-c] | grep -i cycle | 21:57 |
| ComradeHaz` | 21:57 | |
| alkafoo | qin: as a count down widget, or as a display for one? | 21:58 |

| Zerpy | if I have uploaded wordpress to my local apache/php5 server, do anybody knows why I get an error 500 then? :O | 21:58 |
| alkafoo | ComradeHaz`: for i in {a..c}; do something "$i"; done | 21:58 |
| tomodachi | ComradeHaz`: if you have just a couple of drives why not just put them in succession in the script? | 21:58 |
| arada | no it's not | 21:59 |
| jrtech | arada: it kinda strange how the http can not be accessible | 21:59 |

| arada | the ports are forwarded already | 22:02 |
| arada | everything is like it was yesterday. | 22:02 |
| qin | alkafoo: Not sure, but you can use same countdown for display in conky and to trigger logout, this would mean second job (script for conky). | 22:03 |
| MaxHR | tomodachi, ok, I will try netboot from windows... this computer doesn't support usb stick booting | 22:03 |
| qin | arada: Is your local ip the same? | 22:03 |
| tomodachi | MaxHR: the network card needs netboot support, you need to set up a machine that will serve dhcp tftp and more for it to work. | 22:03 |
| MaxHR | tomodachi, it supports netboot, am using this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot | 22:04 |

| bastidrazor | xbuntu: follow the guide on their website. | 22:22 |
| gucko | debugnet: which conf file? | 22:22 |
| qin | arada: You can access ssh locally and local ip = ip forwarded in router. Well you could check iptables -L to see if there is something. | 22:22 |

| gucko | *it | 22:23 |
| sburwood1 | I have a problem with my printer. When using the desktop (64 bit ubuntu) to print something, the printer is announced as not being connected. When I use my EEEPC with 32 bit ubuntu, it works fine. Why doesn't the desktop with the same 11.04 want to print? In the past, if worked and I didn't fiddle with any parameters of the printer | 22:23 |

| zebulon_ | hi | 22:25 |
| debugnet | gucko: sorry try: man apache2 | 22:25 |
| arada | I don't see any REJECT | 22:26 |
| debugnet | gucko: under see also should have a link to a doc you can review with zcat command to read on configuration options. | 22:26 |
| qin | arada: DROP? | 22:26 |
| arada | Chain INPUT (policy DROP), also Chain FORWARD (policy DROP) | 22:27 |
| arada | shouldn't it be ACCEPT also | 22:27 |
| edwardpatch | hi | 22:28 |
| edwardpatch | how do i make my ubuntu look like windows 7 | 22:28 |
| ikonia | edwardpatch: there aren't really good windows themes for unity. | 22:28 |
| edwardpatch | oh | 22:28 |
| edwardpatch | i do havew one but its still downloading wine but what does wine do | 22:29 |
| ikonia | edwardpatch: wine is not a theme | 22:29 |
| edwardpatch | i know | 22:29 |
| ikonia | !wine | edwardpatch | 22:29 |
| ubottu | edwardpatch: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 22:29 |
| edwardpatch | but in the theme theres stuff included | 22:29 |
| alkafoo | edwardpatch: it runs win32 .exe's | 22:29 |
| edwardpatch | \oh | 22:29 |
| edwardpatch | why is it downloading then | 22:30 |
| alkafoo | edwardpatch: probably a "windows" pack | 22:30 |
| edwardpatch | ok | 22:30 |
| alkafoo | the better to satisfy your irrational Windows desires | 22:30 |
| edwardpatch | it was just a expirment | 22:30 |
| edwardpatch | lol | 22:30 |
| MiDo | Wellcome all :) | 22:31 |
| edwardpatch | hi | 22:31 |
| g0rs | hi | 22:31 |
| edwardpatch | shall i leave it to download or shall i cancel it | 22:31 |
| TrueColors | how do you reformat 11.04? | 22:31 |
| edwardpatch | ??? | 22:31 |
| debugnet | gucko: do you have an /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file? if not, i can upload one that i have that was the default install from apt-get so you can read and manipulate to your liking... | 22:31 |
| TrueColors | I want to have a clean install... :( | 22:32 |
| edwardpatch | oh i know | 22:32 |
| edwardpatch | true | 22:32 |
| edwardpatch | colors | 22:32 |
| edwardpatch | did u install it inside windows | 22:32 |
| TrueColors | nope | 22:32 |
| edwardpatch | oh | 22:33 |
| TrueColors | dual boot | 22:33 |
| BarkingFish | since my half of the distro appear to have gone to get some z's, I'm going to ask this here - apologies for the cross post, my lot have dozed off. | 22:33 |
| edwardpatch | then | 22:33 |
| edwardpatch | boot off disc | 22:33 |
| ikonia | TrueColors: clean install, just do a re-install. | 22:33 |
| edwardpatch | then delete through that way | 22:33 |
| edwardpatch | why do u want a clean install?? | 22:33 |
| edwardpatch | anyway | 22:33 |
| xbuntu | where do u find the restricted files? | 22:33 |
| xbuntu | i do | 22:33 |
| TrueColors | well... | 22:33 |
| xbuntu | gksudo gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common | 22:34 |
| xbuntu | and it brings me to a blank page | 22:34 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: what are you actually trying to do ? | 22:34 |
| xbuntu | i just installed the package | 22:34 |
| BarkingFish | Earlier, per instructions to install a program called synce, i removed some kernel modules - rndis_host, cdc_ether and usbnet - I now need these back, because I'm working a different way to sync my iPAQ (WM5) - but I can't reinstall the modules. Any ideas? | 22:34 |
| TrueColors | i need to erase all installations of php5, mysql and nginx. | 22:34 |
| TrueColors | well i think mysql is fine | 22:34 |
| TrueColors | but when I install nginx | 22:34 |
| xbuntu | install a nvidia driver for my vid i dont wanna use the ubuntu driver | 22:34 |
| TrueColors | it should be in... /etc/init.d/nginx | 22:34 |
| TrueColors | to start and stop etc | 22:34 |
| edwardpatch | ok | 22:34 |
| FloodBot1 | TrueColors: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:34 |
| TrueColors | and it doesnt' exist. | 22:34 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: why not ? | 22:34 |
| arada | qin: you led me in the right direction, it was a problem with iptables, thank you. | 22:34 |
| edwardpatch | why dont u delete it then | 22:34 |
| xbuntu | idk dont want to i wanna try the one that goes to my video card | 22:35 |
| arada | anyone can recommend a good tutorial for firewall configuration? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | !ufw | arada | 22:35 |
| ubottu | arada: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 22:35 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: I very very strongly advise you to use the video drivers that are available from the ubuntu repos | 22:35 |
| edwardpatch | so how is everyone | 22:35 |
| xbuntu | whys that | 22:36 |
| ikonia | edwardpatch: try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chit chat, we try to keep this channel to support only | 22:36 |
| xbuntu | worst comes to worse i reinstall ubuntu | 22:36 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: because they are tried and tested, installing nvidia/ati drivers from external sources can cause a lot of problems. | 22:36 |
| TrueColors | yeah so basically, it's refusing to properly install nginx and php so i cannot follow the tutorial... I need to pretty much... erase it all. and I'm not sure how | 22:36 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: if you have no reason to do it, and you don't know why you are doing it, I strongly advise you not to do it | 22:36 |
| ikonia | TrueColors: just re-install, simple and clean | 22:36 |
| xbuntu | well the source is from nvidia website | 22:37 |
| xbuntu | lol | 22:37 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: that is not a good thing to install unless you have a genuine reason | 22:37 |
| xbuntu | so im guessin they are tested? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: no, they are not, | 22:37 |
| zebulon_ | hi, can someone give me hand installing linuxq3apoint-1.32.x86.run? | 22:37 |
| rns | what's a good malware/virus scanner for ubuntu? I know "you don't need it" but what do you suggest for those who want to take precautions? | 22:37 |
| zebulon_ | ./ and sudo don't do it | 22:37 |
| xbuntu | well.. can u just help me install them im the one doing it not u :P | 22:37 |
| ikonia | zebulon_: what's the issue | 22:37 |
| ikonia | rns: there isn't a malware scanner for what you're saying | 22:37 |
| zebulon_ | just commands ikonia | 22:37 |
| rns | ikonia, why not? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: no, I'm sorry, I'm not going to blindly help you ruin your machine for no reason | 22:38 |
| rns | no open source solution out there? | 22:38 |
| ikonia | rns: because malware doesn't happen in the same way as windows, so the scanner isn't the same | 22:38 |
| xbuntu | ur not going to ruin my machine.. | 22:38 |
| ikonia | zebulon_: what's the error | 22:38 |
| zebulon_ | permission of course | 22:38 |
| xbuntu | the worse that can happen is i have to reinstall ubuntu | 22:38 |
| rns | ikonia, so you're saying a virus scanner doesn't exist for ubuntu? | 22:38 |
| ikonia | zebulon_: why of course, I'm asking sensible questions | 22:38 |
| ikonia | rns: not in the safe way you're thinking of as a windows desktop | 22:38 |
| zebulon_ | no doubt :] | 22:38 |
| ikonia | zebulon_: sudo chmod 755 $filename | 22:38 |
| rns | ikonia, in what way does it exist? | 22:39 |
| ikonia | zebulon_: then ./$filename | 22:39 |
| CanadianPirate | Does anyone know it the compat wireless patch is still working in linux3.0? | 22:39 |
| ikonia | rns: as a scanner for windows virus (eg: if your machine was a mail server for windows clients, or a file server for windows clients) that sort of thing | 22:39 |
| zebulon_ | file not found, hang on. | 22:39 |
| ikonia | CanadianPirate: linux3.0 is not in a supported ubuntu release at this time, so we don't support it here | 22:39 |
| ikonia | zebulon_: you need to be in the same directory | 22:39 |
| gerzel | do you answer questions for xubuntu? | 22:39 |
| ikonia | gerzel: if we can | 22:40 |
| ikonia | gerzel: also be aware of #xubuntu channel | 22:40 |
| rns | ikonia, why doesn't linux have an easy malware scanner? Surely ubuntu malware exists, no? | 22:40 |
| ikonia | rns: no | 22:40 |
| zebulon_ | ikona - when i start a shell there it is, in my user | 22:40 |
| gerzel | Hey I'm having trouble mounting a couple of vfat usb drives. It is giving failed to mount "Error mounting: mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'" -- asked in xubuntu channel but no response | 22:40 |
| ikonia | gerzel: it should auto mount when you plug them in | 22:41 |
| SIFTU | rns: clamav will scan for viruses | 22:41 |
| DontTrip | I dropped unity for gnome classic and was wondering how to get that 4 screen division that shows all your desktops in one in classic | 22:41 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: no, it will scan for windows virus | 22:41 |
| DontTrip | dont know how else to describe it | 22:41 |
| SIFTU | ikonia: yes | 22:41 |
| zebulon_ | ikonia - if its properly compiled the ./$ should run it in general, no matter the exention? | 22:41 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: which is not what he asked | 22:41 |
| gerzel | It is showing them on the desktop but double clicking gets the error I gave you | 22:41 |
| ikonia | zebulon_: no | 22:41 |
| ikonia | zebulon_: that has nothing to do with compiling | 22:41 |
| arada | thanks for the help qin, jrtech | 22:41 |
| arada | bye | 22:41 |
| rns | ikonia, how does ubuntu not have any viruses? | 22:41 |
| ikonia | rns: the permissions system in linux is different to windows, so virus don't work in the same way, | 22:42 |
| SIFTU | rns: well what could happen to *nix machines is something called a rootkit | 22:42 |
| zebulon_ | the file itself is some kind of download script so just have to run it | 22:42 |
| zebulon_ | thanks ikonia i think i got it | 22:42 |
| ikonia | zebulon_: so change the permissions as I told you and run it | 22:42 |
| === gucko_ is now known as gucko | ||
| rns | ikonia, what about the ubuntu permissions make it impossible to becoming susceptible to viruses? | 22:43 |
| ikonia | rns: please research on the net - this isn't ubuntu specific, it's Linux in general | 22:44 |
| VampsDaBeast | why question the fact that an Operating System has higher security against Viruses on install? be happy and dont worry. | 22:44 |
| hamed | hi every body | 22:46 |
| hamed | any one here | 22:46 |
| gerzel | rns: Nothing about ubuntu permissions make viruses imposable. They might add an extra hurdle or two, but it would depend on the attack vector of the virus as to weather or not they would apply at all to the operation of the virus. | 22:46 |
| ikonia | hamed: lots of people | 22:46 |
| SIFTU | VampsDaBeast: he should question the fact actually.. becuase it's very possible for a rootkit to happen, which to me is a virus | 22:46 |
| enferex | I need to package our patched linux kernel for some stuff at work. Is there a specific doc (that I have yet to find) on creating a custom-kernel Ubuntu package? | 22:46 |
| hamed | ok i tried to install windows and ubuntu on my laptop but i damaged my hard | 22:47 |
| ikonia | !packaging | enferex | 22:47 |
| ubottu | enferex: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 22:47 |
| CanadianPirate | Linux can have viruses. Just nobody makes them because the audience is too small at the moment. | 22:47 |
| edwardpatch | lol | 22:47 |
| hamed | at first i lost one of my partitions | 22:47 |
| edwardpatch | everyone hates linux | 22:47 |
| ikonia | edwardpatch: please don't talk silly in here | 22:47 |
| rns | gerzel, so landing on a website that installs something in my browser to sniff passwords can't happen on ubuntu? Or are you saying that in order for something like that to happen the attack would first need to get the root pass? | 22:47 |
| edwardpatch | and its windows who has more viruses | 22:47 |
| hamed | his name changed | 22:48 |
| edwardpatch | ok | 22:48 |
| hamed | and no data on it | 22:48 |
| ikonia | rns: please research outside the channel as suggested, this isn't ubuntu specific. | 22:48 |
| hamed | the second when i try to install ubuntu the hard appear as a one part | 22:48 |
| CanadianPirate | rns, It may happen, but it is very unlikely. | 22:48 |
| ikonia | CanadianPirate: no, it doesn't happen | 22:49 |
| rns | ikonia, I am doing research, but comments by other people seem to contradict yours, so I am following up. | 22:49 |
| SIFTU | rns: and if it does happen it will be very unlikely you can detect it | 22:49 |
| CanadianPirate | I may have been mistaken | 22:49 |
| hamed | any read my q ? | 22:49 |
| hamed | any one read my q ? | 22:49 |
| ikonia | hamed: no, as you spaced it out on 10 lines | 22:50 |

| ikonia | zebulon__: sounds good | 22:50 |
| edwardpatch | u do know | 22:51 |
| edwardpatch | there are virus scaners on linux | 22:51 |
| hamed | i lost data on 1 partition and my hard converted to one part with no partition | 22:51 |
| CanadianPirate | rns, just worry about anything that you would run as root. | 22:51 |
| zebulon__ | ikonia filname is parsed until -1.32 then file not found. | 22:51 |
| g0rs | edwardpatch: why do you want to use virus scanners? perhaps you have to search for maliciuous scripts | 22:51 |
| ikonia | zebulon__: type the filename in correctly and make sure you're in the same direcotry as the file | 22:52 |
| zebulon__ | ikonia: .:. bash: ./$: No such file or directory | 22:52 |

| zebulon__ | ikonia: Error in check sums 375899461 3293662273 ... file not so good | 22:53 |
| ikonia | zebulon__: rin "file $filename" (replace $filename with the filename) | 22:53 |
| ikonia | zebulon__: looks that way | 22:53 |
| hamed | i lost data on 1 partition and my hard converted to one part with no partition when i open my laptop with live cd it read the hard as partitions but when i open gparted or try to install ubuntu it appear as one partition unallocated | 22:54 |

| TrueColors | On the Ubuntu install... "Who are you?" why is the forward button greyed out? | 23:19 |
| TrueColors | it's still copying files. | 23:19 |
| TrueColors | and how does it know whether to do 64bit or 32? | 23:19 |
| coz_ | TrueColors, it would, i believe, grey out after hittin enter,, did yhou do that? | 23:19 |
| TrueColors | nope. | 23:20 |
| coz_ | TrueColors, you have to download the 32 or 64 bit install cd | 23:20 |
| TrueColors | i can click back | 23:20 |
| pythonsnake | ikonia: deborphan | 23:20 |

| TrueColors | Ubuntu sent me the 10.10 disk...so... im not sure | 23:20 |
| coz_ | TrueColors, which iso did you download? | 23:20 |
| === syadamin|away is now known as sysadamin | ||
| ikonia | pythonsnake: in that situation you'll have to just re-download the dependency | 23:21 |
| yeats | TrueColors: if you don't know, it's probably 32-bit | 23:21 |
| _Neytiri_ | ex0 i tried somethign liek that and it gave and error | 23:21 |
| coz_ | TrueColors, its most likely the 32 bit version then | 23:21 |
| pythonsnake | ikonia: it's a bit strange, each time I talk, you intervene, just like I was highlighting you :) | 23:22 |
| qin | _Neytiri_: find . -name *.mp3 -type f -exec echo cp {} /copy/there \; | 23:22 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: I was active when you asked the quesiton, there is nothing strange about it | 23:22 |
| qin | _Neytiri_: Remove echo if you fine with results | 23:22 |
| _Neytiri_ | ok | 23:22 |
| TrueColors | ah, now it's showing. | 23:22 |
| _Neytiri_ | i'll give that a try | 23:22 |
| pythonsnake | ikonia: you are everywhere I come | 23:22 |
| coz_ | TrueColors, if this was sent by canonical,, I believe it should be printed on t he cd cover if it is 32 or 64 bit,,although I have not seen one lately | 23:22 |
| ikonia | pythonsnake: I've been in these channels for years | 23:23 |
| TrueColors | you cannot start your username with a capital letter | 23:23 |
| _Neytiri_ | find: missing argument to `-exec' | 23:23 |
| pythonsnake | ikonia: can't have a linux-channel withoout you :) | 23:23 |
| qin | _Neytiri_: Have you closed command with: \; | 23:24 |
| TrueColors | i guess I'll find it when it's installed | 23:24 |
| TrueColors | if it is 32bit i can always erase | 23:24 |
| _Neytiri_ | that was it | 23:24 |
| yeats | TrueColors: 32-bit is fine and probably indistinguishable from 64-bit for most casual users -FYI | 23:25 |
| qin | _Neytiri_: Also, try to highlight person you sleak to. !who !tab | 23:26 |

| TrueColors | I upgraded to 64bit with windows 2 years back... I'm not downgrading :P I'm a average gamer but I'm also a developer. I like to have tons of windows open... | 23:26 |
| qin | pythonsnake: Try mint channel, ikonia isnot there... | 23:26 |
| TrueColors | but when I did upgrade to 64bit, I did end up going up to 3gb ram from 1gb ... | 23:26 |
| TrueColors | went from a microprocessor to a core i3... | 23:27 |
| ikonia | qin: I think you'll find I am, and what's the point of trying mint channel if you're not using mint | 23:27 |
| TrueColors | i guess I wouldn't notice the differenceb ack then | 23:27 |
| qin | ikonia: Helping pythonsnake to escape "This" feeling, but you right, no point, just best show this evening. | 23:29 |

| urlin2u | melik, try alt key. | 23:32 |
| melik | urlin2u: do i have to enable xinerama? | 23:32 |
| urlin2u | melik, not familiar with xinerama | 23:33 |

| coz_ | melanie, nevermin d | 23:35 |
| TrueColors | ok, whats the command in terminal to see the system specs.. | 23:35 |
| TrueColors | including if it's 64bit or whatever | 23:35 |
| coz_ | melanie, you may want to go to the #radeon channel for setting that up | 23:35 |
| coz_ | TrueColors, simple command for architecture is arch | 23:36 |
| StijnH | Hello. When doing a "command-line install", there's just a blinking cursor on boot. Ctrl-Alt-Space-F1 brings up the terminal. Is this expected behaviour? | 23:36 |
| TrueColors | i686... | 23:36 |
| StijnH | Also, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems says the installation takes around 450MB, but with an 800MB hard drive the installation will fail during package manager configuration. It seems an install takes about 1GB. Is the help page outdated then? | 23:36 |
| TrueColors | that.. helps.. | 23:36 |
| coz_ | TrueColors, ok thats 32 bit | 23:36 |
| urlin2u | StijnH, on what distro? | 23:37 |

| TrueColors | CRAP | 23:40 |
| TrueColors | ok well... | 23:41 |
| TrueColors | of I go all over again | 23:41 |
| FloodBot1 | TrueColors: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:41 |
| urlin2u | StijnH, you have things mixed up I believe look closer 800MB HD 1 GB on install. Ubuntu is about 2.8 gigs installed are you looking at a mini install? | 23:41 |
| yeats | TrueColors: you might just try living on 32-bit for a while, just to get acclimated ;-) | 23:41 |
| zykotick9 | StijnH, that link is outdated. The requirements for Desktop state 5GB for space. | 23:41 |
| TrueColors | acclimated? | 23:42 |
| TrueColors | do I need to google the definition? | 23:42 |
| coz_ | TrueColors, get used to it,,, rather | 23:42 |
| StijnH | urlin2u: the 1 GB install is after I gave it a HD of 20 GB. | 23:42 |
| jclbrt | maybe someone can help here... i'm trying to set up a ubuntu server to be my main router... I'm using 10.04LTS... the topology I have is .... Comcast modem --> Ubuntu eth0--> to switch on eth1-->to client PCs | 23:42 |
| coz_ | TrueColors, the differenct is in the architecture not the functionality | 23:42 |
| StijnH | zykotick9: ok, thank you. | 23:42 |
| jclbrt | i was following these instructions: http://www.server-servers.com/ubuntu-router-network-gateway/ | 23:42 |
| yeats | TrueColors: sorry - yes - "get used to" ;-) | 23:43 |
| jclbrt | in the picture where they show the interfaces configuration i notice they have a line that says iface eth0 inet dhcp | 23:43 |
| jclbrt | what the heck does this mean | 23:43 |
| jclbrt | does that mean it's trying to serve IPs on eth0 | 23:43 |
| DthenQ | need help installing TOR. have the tar.gz, says to just extract and run. but where do i extract to? | 23:43 |
| yeats | jclbrt: no - it means "get my network address from DHCP" | 23:44 |
| === syadamin|away is now known as sysadamin | ||
| jclbrt | ah ok... yeats: isnt that the whole point of auto eth0? | 23:44 |
| xbuntu | wheres that guy that was installin the nvidia driver | 23:44 |
| xbuntu | ? | 23:44 |
| jclbrt | i didnt think it needed that extra line | 23:44 |
| yeats | jclbrt: the alternative is "static", where you then define the IP address manually | 23:44 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: that was you. | 23:45 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: I advised you not to do it | 23:45 |
| xbuntu | No i just did that | 23:45 |
| xbuntu | ;) | 23:45 |
| xbuntu | still here arent i | 23:45 |
| yeats | jclbrt: it does need it - it needs to know how it's getting its connection | 23:45 |
| xbuntu | with no help from u | 23:45 |
| Younder | yeats, DHCP is a server which delegates IP addresses. It should be the default and therefore you should not have to worry about it. | 23:45 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: it's up to you what you do, I advised you not to do it. | 23:45 |
| jclbrt | yeats but it's not in there by default | 23:45 |
| xbuntu | I just did it ik | 23:45 |
| zykotick9 | jclbrt, "auto eth0" is NOT dhcp! I believe it's like automatically initialize on boot, or autodetect link change | 23:45 |
| xbuntu | and nothing happened | 23:45 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: good for you. Be aware that when your kernel updates next, X will probably stop working totally. | 23:45 |
| robot-army | After running updates last night, I am no longer able to boot using either the current or previous kernel. (Ubuntu 11.04) I am getting the following error: http://i.imgur.com/V9mFk.jpg - Any help would be greatly appreciated | 23:45 |
| yeats | Younder: jclbrt is the one with the problem ;-) | 23:45 |
| xbuntu | Nope | 23:45 |
| xbuntu | because when it downloaded | 23:46 |
| xbuntu | it asked me if i wanted to update xconfig | 23:46 |
| xbuntu | so when it updates | 23:46 |
| yeats | jclbrt: if you use NetworkManager, it will not be defined there | 23:46 |
| xbuntu | it will update to it to | 23:46 |
| DthenQ | I need some noob help - have a tar.gz, the site says to just extract and run, where should i extract to? | 23:46 |
| xbuntu | so | 23:46 |
| jclbrt | yeats this is a server install | 23:46 |
| jclbrt | no desktop environment | 23:46 |
| xbuntu | and it already back up all the files | 23:46 |
| jclbrt | so all cli | 23:46 |
| yeats | jclbrt: understood | 23:46 |
| StijnH | My goal is to set up a build machine. It needs a toolchain and samba, and I'd like to run this with low memory and disk space usage.. Possibly someone can suggest an alternative to this command-line install option? | 23:46 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: yes, but when the kernel next updates, the module you download will no longer be valid, so X will stop working as that module won't be loaded. | 23:46 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: it's a common issue. | 23:46 |
| xbuntu | Lol kk we will see | 23:46 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: just be aware of it, so if the display stops working, thats the most likley cause. | 23:47 |
| rs-aziz | hi every one | 23:47 |
| yeats | jclbrt: 'auto eth0' just means "bring up eth0 automatically" | 23:47 |
| xbuntu | lol it wont stop working | 23:47 |
| Younder | jclbrt, so you are using a linux machine as a router? ir is it CISCO? | 23:47 |
| xbuntu | because before i downloaded it | 23:47 |
| xbuntu | i uninstalled nvidia | 23:47 |
| xbuntu | and it was working still | 23:47 |
| jclbrt | i had at one point had one working but i dont recall needing that line, but i guess i'll put it in... | 23:47 |
| jclbrt | Younder I am using a ubuntu server 10.04LTS as a Router | 23:47 |
| yeats | jclbrt: it is required | 23:47 |
| zykotick9 | xbuntu, using the driver from nvidia.com is a poor choice | 23:47 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: please listen to what I'm saying, it's a common problem. | 23:47 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: just be aware of it, so that if it stops working you know the reason. | 23:47 |
| ikonia | (or at least the most likley reason) | 23:47 |
| xbuntu | Lol zykotick Please tell me why is it a poor choice? | 23:48 |
| jclbrt | hmmm.. odd my other server which isnt a router and getting it's IP from DHCP does not have that line in there, thats why i was wondering, but i will put it in | 23:48 |
| zykotick9 | !tab > xbuntu | 23:48 |
| ubottu | xbuntu, please see my private message | 23:48 |
| zykotick9 | xbuntu, no | 23:48 |
| StrangeCharm | does locking the screen cause gpg-agent to forget cached passphrases? | 23:48 |
| jclbrt | younder: i'm using a ubuntu 10.04LTS as a router | 23:48 |
| jclbrt | mainly so that i can get ntop working | 23:48 |

| edbian | viktyr_korimir: Ask more specific questions | 23:49 |
| xbuntu | d | 23:49 |
| jclbrt | comcast gave me a warning for going over my bandwidth useage | 23:49 |
| jclbrt | apparently i did more than 250GB in 6 days | 23:49 |
| Younder | zykotick9, no it isn't It is vastly superior to the open-source driver in ters of performance | 23:49 |
| ikonia | viktyr_korimir: https://help.ubuntu.com is a good place to get you started/introduction | 23:49 |
| viktyr_korimir | I want to add a source to the Software Center. There are instructions on the website, but they do not make sense to me. | 23:49 |
| edbian | viktyr_korimir: link please | 23:49 |
| jclbrt | yet i have no clue how... my ddwrt router says i only transferred 60GB all month (combined with upload and download of course) so i want to compare it to ntop | 23:50 |
| edbian | viktyr_korimir: What software are you trying to get? | 23:50 |

| viktyr_korimir | Hmm. This may be part of my problem. | 23:50 |
| prod_ | Hi all, I have a very silly friend who tryed to fix his windows machine by reinstalling via the built in automated installer. Then realised he had formatted his whole drive and reinstalled and forgettin to backup his family photos. Which program would you recommend me using to track down deleted files? | 23:50 |
| edbian | viktyr_korimir: ur on 11.04 right? | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | Younder, i'm not saying use neouvea (spelling?), but using Ubuntu's tools to install nvidia driver is FAR better then using manually installed driver direct from nvidia.com | 23:50 |

| zykotick9 | prod_, i've had success with photorec | 23:51 |
| jclbrt | prod_ how much money you got?? | 23:51 |
| viktyr_korimir | edbian: I'm trying to install FreeCiv and a handful of emulators that I had running under Win7. | 23:52 |
| zykotick9 | prod_, you don't get the names back, but you could (try and) recover like *.jpg | 23:52 |
| prod_ | im aware of testdisc but im gettin any results. | 23:52 |
| edbian | viktyr_korimir: so you click 'install this now' and what happenes? | 23:52 |
| Younder | jclbrt, Do you have the 'Unix administration handbook'? | 23:52 |
| prod_ | not* | 23:52 |
| zykotick9 | prod_, photorec is part of testdisk - but for files instead of partitions | 23:52 |

| DthenQ | need help please - where would i typically extract/install tar.gz files on a home computer | 23:56 |
| surial | I'm trying to work with a bttv video capture card. "modprobe bttv" seems to work, and lsmod says a bunch of bttv-related modules are in there, but there's NO /dev/video0. udev is running. What does that mean? | 23:56 |
| surial | no error messages in dmesg about bttv. | 23:56 |
| DthenQ | ie in windows it would be C: or C:/program files/.... | 23:56 |
| edbian | DthenQ: do the compiling in your home. Install them to /usr/local/bin or /home/you/bin | 23:56 |
| coz_ | DthenQ, you can extract them anywhere you like,, I generally do it on the desktop ,, right click the tar.gz and "extract here" | 23:57 |
| edbian | DthenQ: create /home/you/bin if it doesn't exist | 23:57 |
| jclbrt | DthenQ whereever you want | 23:57 |
| DthenQ | coz_ it will make it's own folder wherever the tar.gz is located, where is the place to neatly store new programs? | 23:57 |
| jclbrt | you can create a file in the home directory called "extracted files" or something and extract them there | 23:57 |
| DthenQ | /home/me/bin? | 23:57 |
| viktyr_korimir | edbian: Thank you for your help, even if the problem did seem to clear up on its own. | 23:57 |
| edbian | viktyr_korimir: sure :) | 23:58 |
| jclbrt | DthenQ only if runable... try /src | 23:58 |
| viktyr_korimir | edbian: Could you explain to me how to add software sources manually, in case it ever comes up again? | 23:58 |
| jclbrt | thats where i extract mine | 23:58 |
| edbian | DthenQ: yeah, the folder /home/<yourUsername> is your home folder, but a folder in there called bin. /home/you/bin :) | 23:58 |
| coz_ | DthenQ, well if you extract and follow the instructions for compiling it will install in its proper loaction,, unless this is an executable then you can store it in the home diretory if you like | 23:58 |
| jclbrt | /usr/src | 23:58 |
| DthenQ | awesome, thank you, can't extract to /usr/src, i think admin gets in the way | 23:58 |
| edbian | DthenQ: you don't have permission to write anywhere outside of your home folder | 23:59 |
| DthenQ | coz_ no compiling, it's like a zip file with the program in it ready to go, just need the place to put it | 23:59 |
| zykotick9 | viktyr_korimir, check out /etc/apt/sources.list (this is what Debian uses by default, not 100% sure it applies to Ubuntu) | 23:59 |
| DthenQ | edbian - okay thanks | 23:59 |
