| ikonia | viktyr_korimir: you don't want to do that | 00:05 |

| djjonex | how can i use my ipod ...says its disabled try in 21 millions minutes | 00:06 |
| edbian | viktyr_korimir: ikonia is right you should not do that. (if you did want to do it anyway you'd use sudo) | 00:07 |
| viktyr_korimir | edbian: I haven't used a command prompt since MS-DOS. Something tells me I am in for a bit of a learning curve on this one. | 00:08 |

| TrueColors | Why is the 64bit download of Ubuntu ... AMD64 when it's not AMD processors? | 00:11 |
| ikonia | TrueColors: we went through this earlier with you | 00:11 |
| centHOGG | the standard 64 was set by amd | 00:11 |
| edbian | TrueColors: because that's the official name of 64 bit architecture because AMD invented it | 00:11 |
| ikonia | TrueColors: the true name for 64bit on x86 platform is amd64 - | 00:11 |
| kazzy | viktyr_korimir, not to say it couldn't be done, but it'll be the equivalent of writing OS X | 00:12 |
| Milez- | thats interesting, i always wondered why that was. | 00:12 |
| TrueColors | Ah, so even intels at 64bit are still AMD? | 00:12 |
| ikonia | TrueColors: correct | 00:12 |
| kazzy | yes | 00:12 |
| kazzy | ia64 is a totally different architecture | 00:12 |
| centHOGG | yes | 00:12 |
| TrueColors | Sorry, I didn't recall it being explained. | 00:12 |
| edbian | viktyr_korimir: No, mac runs on a different kernel so the binaries won't work (that's the biggest of many reasons) | 00:12 |
| edbian | TrueColors: a 64 bit intel processor would be architecture: amd_64 | 00:13 |
| edbian | TrueColors: some with an amd 64 bit processor | 00:13 |
| edbian | same* | 00:13 |
| TrueColors | ah... yeah it only just crossed my mind... "wait, amd is a processor..." | 00:13 |

| viktyr_korimir | Since it seems like almost everything I want is only available in source code form... is there a *simple* way to compile from source? | 00:18 |
| Ghostx562 | I am using Ubuntu Server 11.04. I am using it as a media server for streaming files and such | 00:18 |
| Milez- | viktyr_korimir - You should probably using an install manager to get things installed. Like apt-get ? | 00:18 |
| Milez- | what are you trying to install ? | 00:18 |
| enchilado | viktyr_korimir: I've never done any compiling that wasn't simple. | 00:19 |
| Ghostx562 | I have installed mediatomb for streaming to ps3 and upnp devices. I am looking at where to i place files inside of the hard drive? | 00:19 |
| JamJams | Hi I've got a question regarding ifconfig if a normal users runs it gets the responce "Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output." -- But if I run it as sudo it displays fine :/ | 00:19 |
| JamJams | Is there anyway to allow normal users access to it? | 00:19 |

| zykotick9 | viktyr_korimir, try to avoid source compile installs if at all possible, but if you do start installing from source, check out checkinstall. You can get details from "/msg ubottu !checkinstall" | 00:22 |
| JamJams | I tried a chmod 777 -R /proc/net/dev ikonia it did nothing | 00:22 |
| viktyr_korimir | zykotick9: Thank you. | 00:22 |
| ikonia | JamJams: no, that's not setting the setuid bit | 00:22 |
| xangua | TrueColors: read the instructions there helps | 00:22 |
| ikonia | JamJams: and you need to do it on the ifconfig binary | 00:22 |
| DthenQ | Queston: Where does USB drive show up in the linux directory structure? ie how do you find it in the terminal? | 00:23 |
| ikonia | JamJams: proc is a dynamic file system that gets re-created everytime the system boots, so it's pointless modifying that | 00:23 |
| TrueColors | xangua, I was offering help... not asking for it? ~ confused ~ | 00:23 |
| JamJams | Ah | 00:23 |
| JamJams | I still don't understand how setuid works tbh | 00:23 |
| ikonia | JamJams: have a read of that page. | 00:24 |
| zykotick9 | DthenQ, use "dmesg" and/or "mount" - they're treated as scsi devices so, /dev/sdX# type thing | 00:24 |

| HizMonster | Hello. Can anyone answer this: I have 4 RAM slots, with 1x2 GBs of RAM in the slots. Would I notice much of a difference if I upgraded to the 4GBs of RAM and installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu ? | 00:25 |

| centHOGG | oh yeah | 00:25 |
| centHOGG | better bandwidth | 00:25 |
| DthenQ | zykotick9, thanks again! | 00:26 |
| zykotick9 | HizMonster, it really depends on what you are doing, but probably not much no | 00:26 |
| HizMonster | Also, would just installing the 64bit on the 2GBs make any difference/change ? | 00:26 |
| kucouyf | Hello! I need help please! :) | 00:26 |
| JamJams | ikonia I still don't follow | 00:26 |
| ikonia | JamJams: what's not clear ? | 00:26 |
| JamJams | How I apply that to allowing normal users to view ifconfig | 00:27 |
| HizMonster | zykotick9: Since the other machine is the gaming one, pretty much just web browsing, maybe some image editing, viewing mp4,wmv, using it to listen to spotify maybe if it runs ok, so forth.. (media player/webbrowsing I guess) | 00:27 |
| zykotick9 | HizMonster, i typically think 4GB+ as a baseline for using 64bit, BUT i personally run 64bit on any CPU that supports it, including my EEEPC with 1GB ram | 00:27 |
| ikonia | JamJams: so if you set the setuid on the binary, users can use it as "root" | 00:27 |
| ikonia | JamJams: it executes as the user, but assume certain root privileges | 00:27 |
| DthenQ | actually i found my USB drive in a folder called /media | 00:27 |
| ikonia | JamJams: so you just set it on the binary, not for one user, just set it on the binary. | 00:27 |
| HizMonster | zykotick9: This is a E2160 machine. (Dell Inspiron 530) | 00:27 |
| JamJams | So how do I do that, I don't even know we're the binary is :/ | 00:27 |
| HizMonster | an^ | 00:27 |
| edbian | kucouyf: with what? | 00:28 |
| ikonia | JamJams: "which ifconfig" | 00:28 |
| === kucouyf is now known as n00buntu | ||
| ikonia | JamJams: that will tell you where it is | 00:28 |
| zykotick9 | HizMonster, you'll probably NOT benefit much (if at all) from 64bit then. If you're doing a lot of encoding - then yes. | 00:28 |
| JamJams | That fixed it thanks :_ | 00:28 |
| JamJams | ;) | 00:28 |
| ikonia | JamJams: well done | 00:28 |
| HizMonster | zykotick9: Nah. If I'm doing any encoding or anything I'll keep to the Windows 7 machine , with it's all 4 cores and so on. | 00:29 |

| n00buntu | rhin0 : you said something about booting something? could yoo repeat that? | 00:54 |
| triunity | Hey is there any way I can get ubuntu to print the details of my ram? (not just how much, but amount of pins, maybe company info...) | 00:54 |
| TrueColors | Arsin, assuming this is in Terminal ... what abou doing... sudo testdisk | 00:54 |
| Arsin | TrueColors: There's only a file named, testdisk.8 | 00:55 |
| rhin0 | hit return on the prompt it may just boot | 00:55 |
| Arsin | "command not found", if I type that | 00:55 |
| wooter | triunity, i don't think that information is available | 00:55 |
| n00buntu | rhin0 : i tried, nothing. | 00:55 |
| wooter | triunity, pull the cover off and have a look | 00:55 |
| triunity | Really? I mean, lspci gives me all types of info about my pci devices... | 00:56 |
| triunity | Wooter, I do believe you are missing the point. If i could write a program to "pull of the cover and look" then that'd work | 00:56 |
| TrueColors | Well apparently all you're suppose to do is open up terminal, no need to navigate to a folder and typing in "sudo testdisk" or just "testdisk" then hitting enter... | 00:56 |
| TrueColors | Idk | 00:56 |
| TrueColors | I'm goin to get some rice pudding... and I'm not sharing either. | 00:56 |
| rhin0 | not an expert on it n00buntu .. just giving some feedback about what grub is for .. if it doesn't boot I think there is something wrong with your install | 00:57 |
| triunity | wooter, surely you could think of SOMETHING that could give me some details about the ram. | 00:57 |
| rhin0 | ask someone else | 00:57 |
| prod_ | I dont swear often but photorec is a fuckin godsend! | 00:57 |
| TrueColors | but make sure you have ran... sudo apt-get install testdisk ... Arsin | 00:58 |
| wooter | triunity, you could make a program to detect motherboard model, then it in turn googles the specs and returns the values :) | 00:58 |

| n00buntu | Someone Else : my ubuntu wont start.. i think there may be an error msg in there, but to quick to see it, then it sends me to something called "grub" whitch i dont really understand.. :( | 00:59 |
| n00buntu | btw, it worked fine a little while ago after the install | 01:00 |
| triunity | n00buntu, if you are being sent to ram, then your install is messed up. Try doing a recovery install. Luckly you can do that from a Ubuntu Live CD | 01:00 |
| wooter | triunity, maybe something along these lines http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/check-ram-speed-linux/ | 01:00 |
| TrueColors | Arsin, I'm not sure... have you tried the download option from a website? If that doesn't work then... I'm out of ideas. | 01:01 |
| triunity | n00buntu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 01:01 |

| aosur | Hello! How would I get wget to resume a mirroring operation that was interrupted? | 01:13 |
| triunity | This tutorial is the one my employees use, it should be pretty easy: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html | 01:13 |
| ahura-mazda | is that for me triunity? | 01:13 |
| noobuntu | thanks, i'll try ;) | 01:14 |
| xbuntu | cant u edit a line in grub to make it grub2? | 01:14 |
| meterpreter10 | !grub | 01:14 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| ahura-mazda | where are u guys.. | 01:14 |
| === ar0nic is now known as marowanna | ||
| triunity | meterpreter10, the ResoreGrub link is nice, but doesn't actually tell you how to do anything. | 01:15 |
| triunity | Its like an artical titled: How to Build a car -- Article text: set 1, build car. | 01:16 |
| triunity | step 2, finished | 01:16 |
| xbuntu | cant u get to grub by doing thi | 01:16 |
| xbuntu | sudo gedit /etc/default/grub.conf? | 01:16 |
| triunity | xbuntu, not grub2. that was for grub1 | 01:16 |
| triunity | If i recall | 01:16 |
| xbuntu | well i have a change and dumb ? i may be wrong here or right | 01:17 |
| xbuntu | whats the default cmdline linux | 01:17 |
| xbuntu | quiet splash? | 01:17 |
| aosur | How can I resume mirroring with wget? | 01:17 |
| xbuntu | like if u went into /etc/default/grub.. says GRUB CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" " | 01:18 |
| xbuntu | mine says nomodset | 01:18 |
| Stanley00 | aosur: use wget -c .... | 01:18 |
| xbuntu | i thought the default is quiet splah | 01:18 |
| oliver_ | @triunity, the issue is, why does it happen although i was able to share his file over the network and i was able to see it but when im trying to view it error occurs | 01:18 |
| xbuntu | splah* | 01:18 |
| xbuntu | splash* | 01:18 |
| aosur | Stanley00: I tried that, but the problem was, it wasn't downloading links from pages that had already been downloaded. | 01:18 |
| user0 | hello, i am searching for a tool like JDownloader or User Share Downloader, but for Linux. Can you advice any? | 01:19 |
| oliver_ | hellow anybody can help me?? | 01:19 |
| aosur | Stanley00: So basically, for any file where it would give "The file is already fully retrieved", it would not add the links from that file to the queue for mirroring. | 01:19 |
| xbuntu | anyone know any fixes about adobe crash? | 01:19 |
| user0 | i also want to make a router reset (if the tool does not), how can i do that on ubuntu 10.04? | 01:19 |
| xbuntu | I keep gettin crashes | 01:19 |
| Stanley00 | aosur: yes, because that file is already download | 01:20 |
| aaas | how do you restart sound in 11.04 | 01:20 |
| Stanley00 | aosur: *downloaded | 01:20 |
| oliver_ | hellow | 01:20 |
| xbuntu | alsa force-reload | 01:20 |
| oliver_ | hellow anybody can help me/? | 01:20 |
| aosur | Stanley00: The problem is, the files linked from that file aren't already downloaded. So I'm getting an incomplete mirror. However, I've already downloaded a few hundred MB (a few hours of waiting) and I don't want to remirror the whole site to get those links. | 01:21 |
| rhin0 | sup oliver_ | 01:21 |
| xbuntu | if it gives u an error try sudo -i | 01:21 |
| xbuntu | then do it | 01:21 |
| oliver_ | i have a problem with the other version of ubuntu | 01:21 |
| rhin0 | 11.04? 11.10? | 01:21 |
| rhin0 | xubuntu? | 01:21 |
| Stanley00 | aosur: is that an htm file? | 01:21 |
| oliver_ | 11.04 | 01:21 |
| rhin0 | what problem | 01:21 |

| Stanley00 | aosur: and where does it link to? another domain? | 01:22 |
| oliver_ | @rhin0 :when i am trying to access his jpg files, over the network, it wont open it says error | 01:22 |
| rhin0 | over nfs? | 01:22 |
| aaas | thanks xbuntu but I guess i have a different question since that didn't work: anyone able to get jack to work after putting computer to sleep/suspend? | 01:22 |
| oliver_ | @rhin0 : nope.. | 01:22 |
| rhin0 | no idea -- try with "display" | 01:22 |
| aosur | Stanley00: What I'm running is wget -mk -t 5 --no-parent -c http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/ . | 01:22 |
| rhin0 | maybe the access rights won't allow you to see them oliver_ | 01:23 |
| oliver_ | @rhin0 : okey so what shall i do? | 01:23 |
| aosur | Stanley00: So I'm trying to get all of the files that are in http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2. | 01:23 |
| rhin0 | maybe they are not jpg s (corrupt) | 01:23 |
| rhin0 | see if they are visible from the source machine | 01:23 |
| Stanley00 | aosur: wait a min, i'll check that link | 01:23 |
| rhin0 | check the file permissions | 01:23 |
| aosur | Stanley00: Ok, thanks. | 01:23 |
| oliver_ | @rhin0 : they are visible from the source machine.. its no problem.. | 01:24 |
| rhin0 | try copying them -- ttry in the browser try using "display" command | 01:24 |
| === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu | ||
| rhin0 | gotta go | 01:24 |
| oliver_ | @rhin0: how can i check the file permission and change? i dont know the commands.. | 01:24 |
| xbuntu | aaas whats wrong with sound? | 01:24 |
| rhin0 | chmod is permissions of files ls -l shows you the permissions | 01:24 |
| Nautilus | i've upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04, and now I can't login via ftp ... suggestions on troubleshooting appreciated | 01:24 |
| rhin0 | if you can see the files dump them there shouldn't be a problem | 01:24 |
| rhin0 | permissions are read write and execute | 01:25 |
| Stanley00 | aosur: you need all the doc in that site, or you want to mirror that? | 01:25 |
| aaas | xbuntu im using jack and everything works great, but after putting it to sleep jack wont start anymore..im not the only one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11288718#post11288718 | 01:25 |
| Awesomo_2000 | hello | 01:25 |
| rhin0 | Nautilus: check your firewall is allowing the ftp port -- check that there is an ftp server | 01:25 |
| dragonkiller | i am have a problem with the 11.04 livecd | 01:25 |
| dragonkiller | not booting all the way | 01:25 |
| rhin0 | nautilus -- on 10.04 the firewall is ufw (command) it is not enabled by default | 01:25 |
| Nautilus | rhin0: not the firewall, that didnt change... besides, this is within my lan. | 01:26 |
| Nautilus | oh that firewall | 01:26 |
| rhin0 | nautilus if you have upgraded and previously ftp was set up it will not be there | 01:26 |
| aaas | xbuntu yes let me paste output | 01:26 |
| aosur | Stanley00: Both. | 01:26 |
| rhin0 | see if you have an ftp server extant | 01:26 |
| Stanley00 | aosur: because some of the link links to another domain, and with --no-parrent, I doubt wget can download that kind of link | 01:26 |
| aosur | Stanley00: Well, it was working fine, until it got interrupted and I needed to resume it afterwards. | 01:27 |
| aaas | xbuntu http://paste.ubuntu.com/697615/ | 01:27 |
| Stanley00 | aosur: try without --no-parrent, hope it helps | 01:27 |
| aosur | Stanley00: So apparently the type of website works fine, but the resuming doesn't… | 01:27 |
| xbuntu | lol i get the same thing and my sound works | 01:27 |
| dragonkiller | i can't get 11.04 livecd to boot the selection screen | 01:27 |
| aosur | Stanley00: Ok. Thanks. | 01:28 |
| Nautilus | rhin0: sudo ufw status -> Status: inactive | 01:28 |
| rhin0 | well its not the firewall then | 01:28 |
| Nautilus | i know i can get to it on port 80 | 01:28 |
| aaas | xbuntu i think its more of a jack thing than an alsa thing | 01:28 |
| rhin0 | see if you have an ftp server running -- google ubuntu ftp server | 01:28 |
| aaas | xbuntu maybe | 01:28 |
| rhin0 | you can use sites to check ports -- port checker etc | 01:29 |
| Nautilus | rhin0: I did under 8.04, i know I have a /home/ftp tpp | 01:29 |
| n00buntu | triunity : all i got was : unknown command "sudo" | 01:29 |
| rhin0 | its probably because you don't have an ftp server configured nautilus | 01:29 |
| Nautilus | too* | 01:29 |
| 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 | 01:29 |
| Stanley00 | !who | rhin0 Nautilus | 01:29 |
| ubottu | rhin0 Nautilus: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 01:29 |
| Nautilus | rhin0: good chance it's something in config, yea | 01:29 |
| Stanley00 | dragonkiller: did you check your cd image? | 01:30 |
| rhin0 | nautilus - it will be simple go to google look for setting up ftp server on ubuntu -- go through checklist | 01:30 |
| Nautilus | phone | 01:30 |
| dragonkiller | yep it boot just fine on my wifes laptop | 01:30 |
| dragonkiller | Stanley00: it boot jsut fine on my wife laptop | 01:31 |
| Stanley00 | dragonkiller: I mean, when booting up your cd, there's an option to check for error, just for sure | 01:31 |
| ThersiT | If I want a real slim version of Ubuntu to add to and customize myself would server or alternate install be a better choice? | 01:31 |
| jrib | !minimal | ThersiT | 01:31 |
| ubottu | ThersiT: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:31 |
| dragonkiller | Stanley00: it well not get that far as far as it gos is islinux 4.03 and just stops | 01:31 |
| Stanley00 | ThersiT: alternate for regular and server for server using ;) | 01:32 |
| dragonkiller | i let it set for 1 hour 1/2 and nothing | 01:32 |
| n00buntu | triunity : all i got was : unknown command "sudo" | 01:32 |
| aosur | Stanley00: That worked, thanks! | 01:32 |
| Stanley00 | aosur: you are welcome :) | 01:32 |

| Ghostx562 | Hello, I am installing ubuntu server 11.04 and i would like to use 2 hard drives, one for the OS and the other for the data. | 01:33 |
| Ghostx562 | How would I go upon reformatting the second drive? | 01:33 |
| xaviergmail | Hey I installed steam with Wine but how do I launch it? | 01:33 |
| triunity | Ghostx, fdisk is the tool | 01:33 |
| Stanley00 | dragonkiller: looks like some hardware issue, sorry I dont have much exp with that... | 01:34 |
| Ghostx562 | triunity, i would like to do multiple things using the server os | 01:34 |
| Ghostx562 | i know how to do one of them but i don't know how to set the other up | 01:34 |
| triunity | Ghost, are you wanting your /home on the "data" side | 01:34 |
| Ghostx562 | So that I can install Vbulletin on the same OS | 01:34 |
| triunity | or are you looking the set up the "data" as extra storage? | 01:34 |
| n00buntu | triunity : almost, at the top it says GNU GRUB V.1.99 or something, and the a commandpromt like in dos is a little bit lower and says <grub> | 01:34 |
| dragonkiller | Stanley00: 10.4 Should have the same problem | 01:34 |
| Ghostx562 | triunity, Would that be better ? | 01:35 |
| Nautilus | rhin0: instructions start with apt-get of vsftpd, but I should have that already? Or was 8.04 a different daemon? | 01:35 |
| rhin0 | no idea -- try in stalling it i- if it isn't there nautilus it will just install | 01:35 |
| triunity | N00buntu, you aren't in the live cd, for the commads to work you have to boot to your cd/usb | 01:35 |
| rhin0 | chekc the instrucitons you are using are for 10.04 nautilus | 01:35 |
| Nautilus | rhin0: this ok?: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html | 01:36 |
| triunity | Ghost, i find that having my /home on the secodary hdd is good for protection and speed, but thats just me | 01:36 |
| Ghostx562 | what software would i install so that i can upload VirtualBulletin on the same Server? | 01:36 |
| rhin0 | from the url its ftp server for 10.04 yes nautilus | 01:36 |
| Stanley00 | dragonkiller: I mean maybe you have some special hardware that is not yet supported, or some kind of that, but I;m not sure | 01:36 |
| Ghostx562 | I have selected OpenSSH, and Samba File Server | 01:36 |
| n00buntu | hmm..will try, but last time i tried it just stood there for an hour or something... doing nothing.. | 01:36 |
| Ghostx562 | triunity, I will use it as is and use the second drive for data storage | 01:36 |
| dragonkiller | i guess i well have to stick with 10.4 | 01:37 |
| triunity | What is VirtualBulletin? Is it on top of apache? | 01:37 |
| n00buntu | and i could not press any keys | 01:37 |
| triunity | if so, install LAMP | 01:37 |
| Ghostx562 | I know VB uses MySql, and PHP | 01:37 |
| triunity | Ok, if its using MySQL and PHP, it is using apache as well, you need to install LAMP ( it should be in the list) | 01:37 |
| triunity | N00buntu, You really need to get the live cd working, if that fails nothin' is going to work | 01:38 |
| Stanley00 | dragonkiller: dont know if this help, but you can try an alternate cd, if there is a problem, alternateCD will give more info... | 01:38 |
| Ghostx562 | Ok | 01:38 |
| n00buntu | allright | 01:38 |
| triunity | LAMP == Linux Apache MySQL PHP | 01:38 |
| n00buntu | thanks | 01:38 |
| n00buntu | :) | 01:38 |
| triunity | :D | 01:38 |
| Ghostx562 | Do I need anything other than LAMP, OpenSSH, and Samba FS? | 01:38 |
| triunity | Why are you installing Samba? | 01:39 |
| Ghostx562 | I will also be using as a media server | 01:39 |
| Ghostx562 | i will be using stonetomb | 01:39 |
| Nautilus | rhin0: just looking before I do anything... I don't see vsftpd in /etc/init.d, nor any other ftp that I can see... but shouldn't something be here if it was installed before the upgrade? | 01:39 |
| triunity | Ahh ok, Then no that's it. If you want and your IP provider allows, the mail server is kinda nice to play with | 01:39 |
| triunity | Other than that, you are set to install! | 01:40 |
| Ghostx562 | lol Its actually called MediaTomb | 01:40 |
| rhin0 | didn't know you could "upgrade" from 8.04 to 10.04 no idea nautilus ... should be able to query the server /etc/init.d vsftpd restart? ?? | 01:40 |
| Nautilus | rhino: OH I did find a /etc/init.d/proftpd | 01:40 |
| Ghostx562 | Do I need Samba for mediatomb? | 01:40 |
| triunity | Dont have a clue what mediatomb does/is... can't help you | 01:41 |
| Ghostx562 | Im looking on the site now | 01:41 |
| Ghostx562 | doesn't look like i need it | 01:42 |
| Ghostx562 | If i need it in the future I can install using apt-get right? | 01:42 |
| triunity | Absolutly! | 01:42 |
| sdperez79 | whats the best media player in ubuntu? | 01:42 |
| Ghostx562 | Ok its installing now | 01:42 |
| segol | I need to disable KMS on i845 GPU, using "sudo echo options i915 modeset=0 > /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf" gets a "permission denied" | 01:42 |
| triunity | sudo apt-get install samba :D | 01:42 |
| rhin0 | have to go Nautilus -- good luck - with investigaiton you will nail it | 01:42 |
| triunity | sdperez: go with VLC :D | 01:43 |
| Ghostx562 | sdperez79, rhythmbox or install vlc | 01:43 |
| Nautilus | rhin0: thanks! Got me started | 01:43 |
| Ghostx562 | triunity, it asks to create a password for MySql root user | 01:43 |
| Ghostx562 | Do I use any password? | 01:43 |
| triunity | Yea, make it whatever you want :D | 01:44 |
| sdperez79 | is it true on linux you dont have to defrag or need antivirus?? | 01:44 |
| triunity | Tip dont use special charaters | 01:44 |
| Mneumonic | I don't defrag or run antivirus on linux | 01:44 |
| Ghostx562 | Ok | 01:44 |
| Ghostx562 | numbers are fine? | 01:44 |
| triunity | Very true, linux can't be defraged because of how the file system works | 01:44 |
| triunity | Yep | 01:44 |
| Mneumonic | you CAN run antivirus (ClamAV) but i don't really think its a concern right now | 01:44 |
| airstrike | hello | 01:44 |
| Mneumonic | linux file systems don't fragment | 01:44 |
| triunity | numbers are great ghost | 01:44 |
| airstrike | where are vim color files supposed to be located in ubuntu 10.04? | 01:45 |
| triunity | just using ()?% can break some programs in you password field | 01:45 |
| airstrike | better yet, how can i specify that they are in ~/.vim/colors? | 01:45 |
| kazzy | there are a few commercial antiviruses now for Linux, but it's hardly necessary | 01:45 |
| Mneumonic | Just remember, you CAN get a virus on linux | 01:45 |
| sdperez79 | wow! Im starting to really like linux just would like to learn the terminal better use to dir ect | 01:45 |
| Mneumonic | it is theoretically possible | 01:45 |
| centHOGG | yeah not enough peeps are stupid enough to use linux for a desktop | 01:45 |
| RyuGuns | Erm.. | 01:45 |
| Mneumonic | It's just improbable anyone will write one since the user base on Windows is much higher | 01:46 |
| RyuGuns | What is a great Intrusion Detection System? | 01:46 |
| triunity | LoL mneumonic, the biggest virus on linux, had an uninstall feature with a log output ;) | 01:46 |
| kazzy | Mneumonic, you can get a virus, and it's likely that it'll be really hard to remove because it's not found by an antivirus | 01:46 |
| triunity | RyuGuns, SNORT | 01:46 |
| RyuGuns | Okay, thanks. :D | 01:46 |
| triunity | Yeppers! | 01:46 |
| RyuGuns | What is the channel for non-support? | 01:46 |
| Mneumonic | I would be interested in hearing about someone getting a current antivirus | 01:46 |
| Mneumonic | current virus* | 01:47 |
| ikonia | RyuGuns: #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 01:47 |
| triunity | There are a few antivirus programs for linux, like panda if i recall | 01:47 |
| airstrike | what's the channel *for* support? | 01:47 |
| RyuGuns | Thanks. | 01:47 |
| ikonia | airstrike: your in it | 01:47 |
| triunity | airstrike, this channel | 01:47 |
| Mneumonic | ClamAV is the antivirus i've heard people use | 01:47 |
| ablyss | eset nod has beta antivirus for ubuntu | 01:47 |
| ikonia | it is pointless to use clamav to protect Linux systems | 01:48 |
| sdperez79 | Do yall know a decent fps online game for linux? | 01:48 |
| Mneumonic | Urban Terror | 01:48 |
| |Slacker| | saurbraten | 01:48 |
| Mneumonic | Nexuiz, Sauerbraten, Enemy Territory | 01:48 |
| triunity | clamav typically is used to test for windows viruses to stop the spread of viruses | 01:48 |
| ablyss | unreal tournament | 01:48 |
| triunity | :D unreal :D | 01:48 |
| xaviergmail | Hey I installed steam with Wine but how do I launch it? | 01:48 |
| viktyr_korimir | Okay. I have two hard drives, C and D, from before I installed Ubuntu. I reformatted C during the install, but kept all of the data on D. | 01:49 |
| segol | Why can't I disable KMS on an i845 GPU? following the wiki guide it tells me permission denied even if I use sudo | 01:49 |
| |Slacker| | prolly wine steam.exe or whatever its name is | 01:49 |
| pujger | Is there a way to do set up asterisk for outside and inside calling on its own without a device? | 01:49 |
| viktyr_korimir | When I attempt to set the executable bit on programs on D-- I have WINE-- it immediately unchecks itself. | 01:49 |
| airstrike | how can i define where my vim config files are located? i want colors, plugins, docs, etc in ~/.vim | 01:49 |
| viktyr_korimir | What's making it do that, and how do I make it stop? | 01:49 |
| ablyss | viktyr_korimir: D = cdrom would be read-only | 01:50 |
| pujger | like turn my computer into a VoIP server and call outbound using my modem, having it connected to my | 01:50 |
| jrib | airstrike: that's default | 01:50 |

| triunity | 1tb on windows means it HAS to be NTFS | 01:51 |

| triunity | 1/2 way down you will see "Command Line Partitioning" follow that :D | 01:56 |

| Ghostx562 | only shows one and for another it says disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table | 01:56 |
| OerHeks | Ghostx562, try Gparted | 01:57 |
| triunity | OerHeks, he is on a server w/o a gui | 01:57 |
| Ghostx562 | and i don't see anything about command line partition | 01:57 |
| triunity | TrueColors, only because there is no need for 2 programs that do the identical task, you have apt-get use it ;) | 01:57 |
| bekor | hi all anyone no how to fix choppy video problems? | 01:58 |
| OerHeks | Ghostx562, easy > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Command_Line_Partitioning | 01:58 |
| OverworkDL1 | Why on *EARTH* does bash autocomplete (hit tab) the command "ls $HOME/di" into "ls \$HOME/directory"?! Hit enter instinctively and guess what, not found. And no I am not using $HOME, I am using other ones similarily, but that makes no sense!? | 01:58 |
| Ghostx562 | Thanks! | 01:58 |
| Ghostx562 | Be back later | 01:59 |
| triunity | Good luck! | 01:59 |
| thenickperson | hey | 01:59 |
| OerHeks | OverworkDL1, don't use tab for autocomplete then ? | 01:59 |
| xbuntu | how do u change the splash screen? | 02:01 |
| xbuntu | grub? | 02:01 |
| bekor | hi, i made the dumb mistake of trying to install docky on ubuntu 11.04 unity 2 and messed up video quality.any suggestions? | 02:01 |
| polecat_ | Disk utility should REALLY be able to select where on the FS the unmounted disk is being mounted to. It defaults to / | 02:01 |
| thenickperson | xbuntu, you mean the ubuntu logo with the loading thing? | 02:02 |
| xbuntu | yes | 02:02 |
| xbuntu | is that done by going to etc/default/grub | 02:02 |
| xbuntu | ? | 02:02 |
| bekor | anyone available? | 02:02 |
| polecat_ | hi bekor, ask your question | 02:02 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: that's plymouth | 02:02 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: grub is the menu you get when you first boot the machine, plymouth is the "loading" screen while the OS boots | 02:02 |
| psingh | @bekor, I use docky with 11.04 (with the classic interface) and have no issues. | 02:03 |
| thenickperson | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11478 | 02:03 |
| xbuntu | erm so how do u change the splash screen? | 02:03 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: the grub menu screen ? | 02:03 |
| xbuntu | No like the image | 02:04 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: the image behind the grub menu ? | 02:04 |
| xbuntu | someone told me to use gnome splash manager | 02:04 |
| Islam | hi guys | 02:04 |
| xbuntu | but then someone said it doesnt work | 02:04 |
| xbuntu | on 11.04 | 02:04 |
| OverworkDL1 | OerHeks: What should I use for autocomplete? | 02:04 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: which "spash" do you mean | 02:04 |
| bekor | i messed up my video quality trying to install docky on ubunyu 11.04 can not really tell what i did but i have deleted docky and what ever i had to install to get their i think is their away to restore default settings or repair to original state/ | 02:05 |
| xbuntu | like when u login | 02:05 |
| xbuntu | can u change that screen or no | 02:05 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: the grub one (menu) the ubuntu loading screen (plymouth) the ubuntu login screen (gdm) | 02:05 |
| thenickperson | did you uninstall it? | 02:05 |
| OerHeks | OverworkDL1, you udes TAb to autocomplete, if you hit it once more, maybe you get an other autocomplete result | 02:05 |
| thenickperson | (bekor) | 02:05 |
| xbuntu | Login screen | 02:05 |
| Nautilus | in /etc/init.d I have a proftpd file, does that indicate that I was probably using ProFTP before my 8.04->10.04 upgrade? | 02:05 |
| === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel | ||
| psingh | @bekor, what do you mean "video" ? | 02:05 |
| bekor | im sorry what? | 02:05 |
| OerHeks | r/udes/used | 02:05 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: gdm's quite tricky to modify at the moment. | 02:05 |
| xbuntu | Ok then how do u modify the loading screen | 02:05 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: what version of ubuntu ? | 02:05 |
| * cakeb0ss ( NoNameScript 4.22 :: by greeny & mute :: www.nnscript.com :: www.esnation.com ) | 02:06 | |
| xbuntu | 11.04 | 02:06 |
| ikonia | cakeb0ss: please disable that script | 02:06 |
| bekor | well it is just my video quality is choppy like when playing a video clip | 02:06 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: gdm2 in 11.04, there are really frustrating limitations with it, due to some changes in the tool | 02:06 |
| OverworkDL1 | OerHeks: I only hit it once, say you have a directory in your home directory named directory, do this: ls $HOME/d<TAB> | 02:06 |
| Islam | how can I delete the recent opened files and where should I find the shortcuts folder for it ? | 02:06 |
| xbuntu | so u can just modify a line or something? | 02:06 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: no, | 02:06 |
| xbuntu | so what is ur advice? to give gm2 a shot? | 02:07 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: your already using gdm2 | 02:07 |
| psingh | bekor: honestly, that doesn't sound like a docky related issue. Did you install the medibuntu packages? | 02:07 |
| xbuntu | erm | 02:07 |
| xbuntu | yeh | 02:07 |
| xbuntu | nvm | 02:07 |
| xbuntu | Umm | 02:07 |
| FloodBot1 | xbuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:07 |
| xbuntu | so is there any programs | 02:07 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: that's the login manager in 11.04 | 02:07 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: you can't really modify it easy/well | 02:07 |
| bekor | no should i> | 02:07 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: there used to be, but changed in gdm2 stopped them working | 02:07 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: people didn't develop new ones as they where waiting for gnome3 | 02:08 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: (why bother developing for gnome2 when it's dead) | 02:08 |
| psingh | I use medibuntu to get the codecs to play media files. It helps a-lot. | 02:08 |
| thenickperson | yeah. if you really want an awesome login screen, update to ubuntu 11.10 beta. or just wait a few weeks for it to be stable | 02:08 |
| escott | Islam, there was a .recently-used file in $HOME but more recently it moved to gnome-activity-journal | 02:08 |
| xbuntu | How about the loading screen when i first start up my os | 02:08 |
| bekor | psingh is that something i should do? | 02:08 |
| thenickperson | it uses lightdm, which is reallya wesome | 02:08 |
| xbuntu | not grub because this is the only os i have on my machine | 02:08 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: the grub one ? or the OS loading one | 02:08 |
| Islam | so where should I find it ? | 02:08 |
| SIFTU | xbuntu: grub, splashy, gdm are all the things you see | 02:08 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: plymouth, that's quite tricky to mofidy too | 02:09 |
| xbuntu | Lol | 02:09 |
| psingh | bekor: try it. Let me pasebin you the instructions... | 02:09 |
| carlos | hola amigos soy nuevo en en ubuntu quisiera saver donde esta el chat en español | 02:09 |
| SIFTU | ikonia: oh its plymouth on ubuntu? | 02:09 |
| rww | !es | carlos | 02:09 |
| ubottu | carlos: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 02:09 |
| bekor | i am using unity 2 | 02:09 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: it was, I'm now doubting if it got changed to splashy | 02:09 |
| bekor | i only have 512mb Ram | 02:10 |
| SIFTU | ikonia: you are probably right | 02:10 |
| psingh | bekor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/697634/ | 02:10 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: I'm not %100 now, you've got me doubting | 02:10 |
| carlos | ubottu: tambien hay uno de estos en español yo ya lo tube solo que no me acuerdo | 02:10 |
| ubottu | carlos: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:10 |
| SIFTU | ikonia: as I dont run ubuntu I take your work for it.. if they were using pylmouth they probably still are | 02:10 |
| psingh | Just be sure to use the 32 bit cdecs instead of "w64codecs" if you are using i386 | 02:10 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: I'm reasonably confident for 11.04, | 02:11 |
| polecat_ | holy crap firefox is a memory grabber | 02:11 |
| bekor | will that work with unity2> | 02:11 |
| psingh | bekor: full instructions are here... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 02:11 |
| xbuntu | Lol | 02:11 |
| xbuntu | I think i can change the loader for grub just like that | 02:12 |
| bekor | what i meant to ask was will it work with unity 2? | 02:12 |
| psingh | bekor: I don't see why it wouldn't. It's just video and audio codecs. | 02:12 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: I don't think so, try it | 02:12 |
| mae_tae | how do i resolve this unknown instance error in squid? | 02:12 |
| bekor | thank you | 02:12 |
| xbuntu | all u gotta do is open nautilus with root... go to boot/grub/ and paste new items exp something.png... then sudo update-grub | 02:12 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: that's the grub splash image | 02:13 |
| psingh | bekor: But your issue might be something other than your codecs. One possibility is that Unity 2 is using more CPU resources, and not leaving enough for your video playback. | 02:13 |
| xbuntu | yeh? u said there all tricky | 02:13 |
| Islam | how can I get to the file containing my recent opened files ? the shortcuts folder where I can delete them ? | 02:13 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: you didn't want the grub menu image, you wanted the loading screen | 02:13 |
| escott | Islam, install gnome-activity-journal | 02:13 |
| xbuntu | yeh i know | 02:13 |
| bekor | would classic work if that was the case? | 02:14 |
| xbuntu | i was just saying | 02:14 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: that's not set in grub | 02:14 |
| xbuntu | I know i know.. | 02:14 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: the grub menu image is set in grub | 02:14 |
| mae_tae | hello people, how do i fix this unknown instance error in squid? | 02:14 |
| psingh | bekor: I am running 11.04 with "classic". I am *VERY* pleased with it. | 02:15 |
| SIFTU | xbuntu: plymouth doesnt see too bad to configure either | 02:15 |
| xbuntu | ^ | 02:15 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: it's a bit sloppy with the ubuntu implimenting in the initrd | 02:15 |
| Ibis | Is there a way I can use root privledges to force a process/program to run as a non privledge user, but they will be able to open port lower than 1000? | 02:15 |
| SIFTU | ikonia: yeah to get it up as soon as possible.. but changing the theme isnt that bad | 02:15 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: I believe the theme is actually in the initrd | 02:16 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: I'm working from memory, so could be wrong | 02:16 |
| SIFTU | yep.. so you rebuild that | 02:16 |
| bekor | i tried classic to see if it would make a difference and it was the same issue so it may be the codecs like you said | 02:16 |
| SIFTU | ikonia: you look right | 02:16 |
| ikonia | SIFTU: each kernel update will cause a problem | 02:16 |
| xbuntu | ikonia | 02:17 |
| xbuntu | type | 02:17 |
| polecat_ | ugh that's why banshee is taking up everything, it's downloading every cover art availiable for my substantial music collection | 02:17 |
| xbuntu | apt-cache search plymouth-theme | 02:17 |
| psingh | bekor: yes, try the codecs. They may make better use of your hardware acceleration. | 02:17 |

| daddy | hi any one gay ? | 02:17 |
| xbuntu | LOL | 02:18 |
| centHOGG | no two gay | 02:18 |
| psingh | bekor: if you are not running an x64 machine, please note that the steps will be the same as what I sent to you in pastebin, but you will have to make slight adjustments to make sure you get the 32 bit packages. | 02:18 |
| xbuntu | ikonia did u run that in term? | 02:18 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: I don't need to | 02:18 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: no | 02:18 |
| daddy | i'm gay buntu ! lol | 02:18 |
| daddy | wonder if unbuntu runs on arm ? | 02:19 |
| centHOGG | prob | 02:19 |
| bekor | .ok do you know how i would do that? | 02:19 |
| psingh | bekor: one min... | 02:19 |
| xbuntu | sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth | 02:20 |
| xbuntu | why does it say nothing to conf | 02:20 |
| xbuntu | ? | 02:20 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: because there is nothing to config | 02:20 |
| Ibis | Thanks escott. | 02:20 |
| psingh | bekor: do the first three steps listed here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/697634/ | 02:21 |
| bekor | ok | 02:21 |
| psingh | bekor: but for the third step, type "sudo apt-get install w32codecs" instead. | 02:21 |
| xbuntu | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mefrio-g/plymouthmanager | 02:22 |
| xbuntu | there | 02:22 |

| ikonia | xbuntu: be aware that each kernel update will overwrite the initrd that contains the | 02:22 |
| ikonia | contains the theme | 02:22 |
| psingh | bekor: are you having issues with flash video, dvd video, or a local video file? | 02:22 |
| dtigue | what channeldo i join for the beta version of ubuntu | 02:22 |
| bekor | great i do not know how folks like you know all this stuff | 02:22 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: also be aware that adding random PPA's may cause you issue with dependency conflicts, try to keep a track on them | 02:22 |
| bekor | molvie type vids | 02:23 |
| psingh | bekor: learned the same way you are learning right now! (And trust me, I'm a noob compared to some of the other guys out there). | 02:23 |
| bekor | thanks friend i will let you know how it goes | 02:24 |
| xbuntu | the config is in /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth | 02:24 |
| psingh | bekor: good luck! | 02:24 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: I know where the config is | 02:24 |
| ikonia | xbuntu: the issue isn't the config file, | 02:24 |
| Gr3mlin | is there a queue type system here? | 02:24 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: nope, just ask | 02:25 |
| dtigue | isn't there a specific channel for issues with ubuntu 11.10 beta 2 | 02:27 |
| ikonia | dtigue: #ubuntu+1 | 02:27 |
| dtigue | yup thanks....i couldn't remember the name | 02:27 |
| Gr3mlin | oh. cool! ok, i have a simple question, i think my understanding is incorrect. ( i just installed ubuntu server 11.04 and the openssh. i wont to know, is there a way using ssh to run commands, then close putty and the executed command stays running? | 02:27 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: you can either use "nohup" on the command, or use a tool like screen | 02:28 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: are you aware of either ? | 02:28 |
| Gr3mlin | ikonia: nope! :( im rather new to the headless server side of things. | 02:29 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: what sort of thing are you trying to run/keep running | 02:29 |
| Gr3mlin | ikonia: its a Minecraft server. | 02:29 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup | 02:29 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 | 02:30 |
| Milez- | screen is the best!!! | 02:30 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: have a read through those, see which method you like best, both will work with a minecraft server | 02:30 |
| bekor | psingh still waiting for terminal to finish i have another question | 02:30 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: pros/cons to both | 02:30 |
| Gr3mlin | thanks looking at them now ikonia. | 02:30 |
| psingh | bekor: shot | 02:31 |
| psingh | bekor: shoot | 02:31 |
| bekor | it finished just a second | 02:31 |
| bekor | still weird do i need to reboot? | 02:32 |
| psingh | bekor: should not need to reboot. What video are you having trouble with? Is it flash, dvd, or something else? | 02:33 |
| dtigue | is there a config file somewhere that allows me to insert wireless network keys, network maager won't remember them | 02:33 |
| bekor | flash drive and dvd player | 02:33 |
| ikonia | dtigue: #ubuntu+1 is the right place | 02:33 |
| psingh | bekor: What happens if you copy the flash drive video to your hard disk? Does it run smoothly then? | 02:34 |
| bekor | was not having trouble until i tried to install the gnome desktop invironment thingy so i deleted that and still issues | 02:34 |
| psingh | bekor: how did you delete it? | 02:35 |
| Gr3mlin | ikonia: thanks, i think i'll look at screen nohup doesnt really let you watch whats going on asfar as i can see. | 02:35 |

| bekor | fom the software manager where i inst6alled it from | 02:35 |
| psingh | bekor: which package from software manager? | 02:36 |
| bekor | it gave me a debian tipe start up page | 02:36 |
| Gr3mlin | ikonia: i saw that, i ment, i can login, and execute a command on the running server. | 02:36 |
| bekor | i will look again | 02:36 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: whatever works best for you, that's the best way to do it | 02:36 |
| graft | hi, i'm getting this message when i try to upgrade to natty: Failed to run /tmp/update-manager-p6btsE/natty as user root. Wrong password. | 02:36 |
| psingh | bekor: I want to see what this package is, and why it would mess up your video??? | 02:37 |
| graft | (obviously, the password is not wrong) | 02:37 |
| ikonia | graft: you shouldn't be root | 02:37 |
| ikonia | graft: you should be using sudo | 02:37 |
| graft | ikonia: i'm just hitting 'upgrade' via the update manager | 02:37 |
| bekor | i will find it | 02:37 |
| psingh | k | 02:37 |
| graft | ikonia: that's what happens when i put my password in the authorization box | 02:37 |
| Gr3mlin | ikonia: thanks for you help! :) nother question, any good TEMP monitoring / fan controlling cmdline you know about? | 02:37 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: is that file there ? | 02:37 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: lmsensors | 02:37 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: sorry, I meant the first line for graft | 02:38 |
| ikonia | graft: is the file in /tmp ? | 02:38 |
| bekor | gnome desktop invironment with xtra components it is called | 02:38 |
| graft | ikonia: yeah | 02:38 |
| ikonia | graft: have a look at it, does it look like it can be run valid ? | 02:38 |
| graft | ikonia: it's just a python script that runs DistUpgradeMain.main() | 02:38 |
| Gr3mlin | ah, ikonia thanks! :) i have looked at lmsensors. but it didnt detect my MB. | 02:39 |
| ikonia | graft: do you have a root password on your system ? | 02:39 |
| graft | ikonia: not that i know of... it's possible i set one in the dim dark past, but why would the upgrade manager be asking for that anyway, even if it existed? | 02:39 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: you can manually configure it, it's a little more complex though | 02:39 |
| ikonia | graft: it's not asking that password, if you set a password for root, certain situations can break the sudo authentication model | 02:40 |
| Gr3mlin | ok, thanks! :) have a good evening! | 02:40 |
| segol | How do I disable KMS? Following the ubuntu wiki I get told I don't have permission to access the file even passing a sudo check | 02:40 |

| ikonia | graft: so it's not set, which is normal | 02:40 |
| ikonia | graft: if you run gksudo update-manager does it work ? | 02:41 |
| misaq | hello | 02:41 |
| alexbobp | what's the name of the graphical driver installer on ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| misaq | I installed Ubuntu over Red Hat. now I cannot boot Redhat. what is the problem? | 02:42 |
| alexbobp | to run from the run dialog or command line | 02:42 |
| graft | ikonia: ah yes, that works... hopefully whatever is busted won't matter | 02:42 |
| graft | ikonia: thanks! | 02:42 |
| psingh | bekor: I searched for "gnome desktop environment" in Ubuntu Software Center, but I'm not sure I can figure out exactly what you had installed. Can you cut and paste the package name? | 02:42 |
| ikonia | misaq: you've installed ubuntu over redhat, that's the issue | 02:42 |
| ikonia | graft: I wonder if your sudo auth session just timed out/failed, | 02:42 |
| bekor | i will try | 02:43 |
| graft | ikonia: nope, i had this problem a few days ago, too | 02:43 |
| ikonia | how odd | 02:43 |
| ikonia | graft: never seen that before | 02:43 |
| graft | ikonia: this is the second time i am trying to upgrade, last time i downgraded by hand, which was weird and unnatural | 02:43 |
| graft | ikonia: i'm sure i messed something up in the process which is at fault | 02:43 |
| ikonia | possible | 02:44 |
| graft | ikonia: hopefully compiz is more stable now than it was! | 02:44 |
| bekor | it is the first thing you see when you type in gnome | 02:45 |
| psingh | bkor: OK, I see | 02:46 |
| alexbobp | what's the command for the graphical driver installer on ubuntu? | 02:46 |
| escott | alexbobp, jockey-gtk | 02:46 |
| psingh | bekor: let me see if I can find a solution for you. Give me a few minutes... | 02:47 |
| bekor | ok | 02:47 |
| misaq | ikonia: I did also the vice versa. but I had problem then too. | 02:48 |
| Akashio | Hello, has anyone had trouble with the HP Deskjet d2680, or similar series, printing text with a shadow? | 02:49 |
| ikonia | misaq: the issue you have is grub, the two distrubtions will not play well out of the box, they will need to be maintained with experience | 02:49 |
| misaq | ikonia: I have a question. is it possible to have two distributions installed on one computer? | 02:49 |
| ikonia | misaq: yes | 02:49 |
| escott | misaq they need different partitions | 02:50 |
| segol | How do I disable KMS? Following the ubuntu wiki I get told I don't have permission to access the file even passing a sudo check | 02:51 |
| ikonia | escott: it's much more complex than that now | 02:51 |
| misaq | escott: I have assigned them different partitions; different /boot partitions, different / partitions but one swap space. | 02:52 |
| ikonia | misaq: the problem is boot loader and boot loader maintanence as upates happen | 02:52 |
| triunity | Hey I have a question, you know how the ubuntu terminal works like user@computer, how can i change the 'computer' name? | 02:55 |
| ikonia | triunity: just the PS1 envionrment veriable | 02:55 |
| ikonia | triunity: do you want to change the prompt, or the actual machine host name | 02:55 |
| triunity | Actual Host Name | 02:56 |
| ikonia | triunity: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, then reboot | 02:56 |
| triunity | Its a server, can i do it without going down? I'd rather stay online | 02:56 |
| ikonia | triunity: no | 02:57 |
| maslen | Hi, my machine first turned off the monitor, and the caps lock, num lock, and scroll lock were all blinking. After restarting, the auto logon appears to function, but it only shows me an empty desktop. | 02:57 |
| Gr3mlin | ikonia: is there a way to connect back into the running screen ap? | 02:57 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: screen -r | 02:57 |
| ikonia | Gr3mlin: check the link I gave you | 02:57 |
| maslen | I then ran tail /var/log/syslog , and it returned "GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed" . Can someone help please. | 02:57 |
| Gr3mlin | thanks, i didnt see anything about reconnecting. | 02:58 |
| Corey | ikonia: screen -d -r can fix some of the resolution issues between windows. | 02:58 |
| escott | maslen, ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a console. then you can try to service gdm restart | 02:58 |
| Gr3mlin | nevermind found it! ;D | 02:58 |
| ikonia | Corey: very true | 02:58 |
| maslen | escott: It said "Rejected send message..." | 02:58 |
| triunity | Ok, hostname makes sense, but what do i change in hosts? | 02:59 |
| psingh | bekor: are you there? | 02:59 |
| triunity | nevermind... | 02:59 |
| escott | maslen, sudo service gdm restart | 02:59 |
| StepNjump | hi guys, maybe someone could help me. I downloaded a .tar file and now I need to install it. it's all java. The site only says: In order to run TaskUnifier on Linux, download the linux zip file. Once downloaded, unzip it and finally run "TaskUnifier.sh" Which directory should I untar it in? Anybody familiar with Java here? | 02:59 |
| ikonia | StepNjump: untarit where ever you want, no set location | 03:00 |
| maslen | escott: So it appears ot have done the same as before. It plays the sound, displays the background, and the 'waiting' icon for the mouse. Then it displays the mouse icon on top of the background - no more, and no less. | 03:00 |
| triunity | Ohh god, i really hate reboots to my server... | 03:00 |
| maslen | StepNjump: You can extract it anywhere. | 03:00 |
| StepNjump | ikonia, I'm sort of new to linux but am I not supposed to do some chmod stuff? | 03:00 |
| escott | maslen, some core desktop process is failing | 03:00 |
| chaos_ | anyone get compiz to work with gnome3? | 03:01 |
| ikonia | StepNjump: not if the guide doesn't tell you to | 03:01 |
| maslen | escott: Anything specific you could recommend short of a full reinstall? | 03:01 |
| StepNjump | ok guys and to execute it, I think I invoke it like this right? ./taskunifier.sh? | 03:01 |
| escott | you can go back to tty1 and export DISPLAY=:0 and try things like unity --replace | 03:01 |
| maslen | escott: I am using Ubuntu classic instead of unity. | 03:01 |
| ikonia | StepNjump: yes | 03:01 |
| StepNjump | k thanks ikonia | 03:01 |
| kaushik_ | is there a way where each time i start my irc all my channels are joined in | 03:01 |

| === StepNjump is now known as stepnjump_away | ||

| canurabus | I have a messed up grub after formatting my linux partition. So right now I have Windows on another partition and a non-functioning grub. Can I fix grub and get it to boot up my Windows partition? | 03:22 |
| user0 | hello, i use linux 10.04 and want to use the jdownloader but the reconnect does not wort. I have the speedport W 920V from T-Com. IP and password of the router are correct there. But what have i to write into the "user" field? "root"? | 03:23 |
| shadows090 | escott, well, a general question, a few times i've found myself finding and replacing a few hundred times. i'm searching for a vim plugin right now, but I wanted to search here just in case | 03:24 |
| escott | shadow98, well you could do some sed/vim pattern matching if you can match patterns, or you can load into a tool like R and manipulate the data and save it | 03:25 |
| escott | !grub | canurabus | 03:25 |
| ubottu | canurabus: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| jeremy-77 | I installed the ati proprietary driver from amd web site on fresh install of ubuntu 11.04 32 bit before I ran updates and got 60fps on world of warcraft and then after updates ubuntu booted to blank screen. I reinstalled ati driver and it fixed but then i only get 10fps in game now.. would anyone know what happened or how to fix ? | 03:26 |
| shadows090 | yeah i tried doing some :%s type stuff in vim, but it became too complicated. the csv file could have been three patterns, and i would have had to replace with that same pattern. i also thought about doing a quick python script, but it ended up being a bit more than i anticipated. what is R? | 03:26 |
| G00053 | how do i access works exchange server ? | 03:26 |
| fritsch | G00053: use evolution, should work pretty fine | 03:26 |
| fritsch | G00053: just install evolution-exchange | 03:27 |
| canurabus | escott: thanks! :) | 03:28 |

| G00053 | fritsch, tried , it isn't working maybe i am doing something wrong becase i can access it on my phone no problem | 03:30 |
| === Explodingpiglets is now known as Zeku | ||

| fritsch | G00053: which version is the exchange server? | 03:31 |
| StepNjump | anybody successfully installed sun java JRE for x64 here? | 03:31 |
| graft | shadows090: sed is extremely powerful and perfect for doing batch find/replace stuff | 03:31 |
| fritsch | G00053: are you using natty? or lucid? | 03:31 |
| G00053 | i couldn't tell you, at least not at this moment since i'm off . | 03:31 |

| G00053 | android | 03:32 |
| fritsch | mmh, it connects by imap i think | 03:32 |
| shadows090 | graft, is it more powerful than vim though? what i'm trying to do is a little bit beyond what I can do in vim. vim search/replace usually suites me well, but i haven't found a way to fit conditionals or switch cases in them | 03:33 |
| G00053 | i grabbed the mapi exchange package but not the other one, i'll try that | 03:33 |

| fritsch | papna: does you mouse stop working? or does clicking afterwards work again? | 03:36 |
| papna | fritsch: The mouse is fine. I can click inside most windows. For example, I can highlight text in this terminal. | 03:36 |

| cody__ | fritsch, http://paste.ubuntu.com/697667/ | 03:56 |

| cody__ | fritsch, so im stupid my comp doesnt evan have one lol i thought it did | 03:59 |

| psingh | debware: when you open up the VIRTUALBOXADDITIONS file system, what files are listed? There should be an "autorun.sh" file ??? | 04:00 |
| paulus68 | Ghostx562: isn't the drive malfunctioning? | 04:00 |
| fritsch | cody__: hehe, this was fun - it really _does_not_ have one | 04:00 |
| fritsch | cody__: just googled the specs | 04:00 |
| fritsch | cody__: Also deleted to hit the under-$400 price mark are a Webcam and a fingerprint reader | 04:00 |
| debware | <psingh> yes its there...what next ? | 04:00 |
| SIFTU | R1cochet: cat <filename>|tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | sed 's/\(^\| \)\([a-z]\) | 04:00 |
| Ghostx562 | no i was using it shortly before | 04:01 |
| fritsch | cody__: was cited from here: http://computershopper.com/laptops/reviews/hp-compaq-presario-cq62 | 04:01 |
| psingh | you can open up a terminal and type "./autorun.sh" or simply double click on it. | 04:01 |
| fritsch | cody__: so if there is no webcam - we cannot find one :-) | 04:01 |
| Ghostx562 | paulus68, when using sudo fdisk -l it says /dev/dm-0, /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table | 04:01 |
| superdave_ | Setting up my 11.0.4 box as a wireless AP. Is there any way to hide the SSID? | 04:01 |
| Dagmar | Yes. | 04:02 |
| R1cochet | SIFTU: thank you much, but i have tons of files to do it on all in the same directory. is there a way to run it as a batch? | 04:02 |
| === syadamin|away is now known as sysadamin | ||
| Dagmar | superdave_: It should be explained in the hostap documentation. | 04:02 |
| SIFTU | R1cochet: yes you can with find | 04:02 |
| superdave_ | Dagmar More info? Kindof a noob. | 04:03 |
| Dagmar | superdave_: If the phrase 'hostap' is coming as a suprise to you, you might want to look into that. Simply setting up a PC with a wireless card and routing enabled doesn't actually make it an AP. | 04:03 |
| hacked_kernel | how to set a socks server IP from the command line, or in a conf file?? | 04:03 |
| SIFTU | R1cochet: but first.. did it work on a file for you? | 04:03 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: use tsocks | 04:03 |
| psingh | debware: do you have a 64 bit machine, or a 32 bit machine? There are folders there for both. Depending on your machines architecture, you could navigate into one of those folders and launch the *.sh" script. | 04:03 |
| Dagmar | superdave_: You actually need separate stuff which doesn't work with all wireless cards (because with some it's impossible) to use hostap so that the transmissions are actually flagged as coming from an AP. | 04:03 |
| bekor | psingh you still their? | 04:04 |
| paulus68 | Ghostx562: are you able to detect the drive with gparted? | 04:04 |
| psingh | bekor: hey. Still here. Any luck? | 04:04 |
| Ghostx562 | ubuntu server here | 04:04 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: as an environment variable enough for your program? | 04:04 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: what protocol do you want to access? | 04:05 |
| hacked_kernel | fritsch, I tried exporting it but its notworking | 04:05 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: for usage with apt-get? | 04:05 |
| cody__ | fritsch, yeh sry there is just a sopt about the screen that looks like it was a webcam and it has a microphone so thought it had a webcam | 04:05 |
| Ghostx562 | can i format both discs using ubuntu live disc? | 04:05 |
| fritsch | cody__: not really a problem :-) we heavily searched it | 04:05 |
| hacked_kernel | fritsch, i want to use it globally , http, when pinging ,etc... | 04:05 |
| bekor | no but question if i wait till 11.10 come out and upgrade from cd will i still have same problems from the old system/ | 04:05 |
| debware | <psingh> : There is no ".sh". There are only .dll and .sys | 04:05 |
| hacked_kernel | fritsch, but apt-get is not the point | 04:05 |
| hacked_kernel | fritsch, i'm using tor | 04:06 |
| Dagmar | Ghostx526: What, you mean on the server you just booted with the CD? Easily. | 04:06 |
| cody__ | fritsch, but thanks for helping out | 04:06 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: you can try to set it in the proxy settings from gnome | 04:06 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: and "apply systemwide" | 04:06 |
| paulus68 | Ghostx562: can you do sudo lshw>lshw.txt you can do a fresh install yes | 04:06 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: this could be the most easy way | 04:06 |
| hacked_kernel | fritsch, I did but its not working | 04:06 |
| hacked_kernel | fritsch, i have 11.10 | 04:06 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: okay, then have a look into tsocks | 04:06 |
| Ghostx562 | yes i can do fresh install | 04:06 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: this is a "wrapper" for apps to use them over socks | 04:06 |
| Ghostx562 | now im using ubuntu 10.10 live cd to format both drives | 04:06 |
| psingh | debware: It looks like you have a Windows version of Virtual Box Guest Additions??? | 04:06 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: configure tsocks and afterwards: tsocks "my program" should work | 04:07 |
| hacked_kernel | fritsch, thanks | 04:07 |
| bekor | psingh catch the stupid question? | 04:07 |
| debware | psingh : My Host is ubuntu and guest is mac | 04:07 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: http://corvillus.com/2006/09/18/how-to-set-up-tor-and-privoxy-on-ubuntu-linux/ | 04:07 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: ah sorry, not exactly what you looked for | 04:07 |
| fritsch | hacked_kernel: but the other tipp with tsocks should work fine | 04:08 |
| psingh | bekor: If you REINSTALL using 11.10, you would overwrite your current installation. If 11.10 does not have any bugs you will be ok. If you upgrade using Update Manager, my guess is, you will probably have the same issue. | 04:08 |
| Ghostx562 | paulus68, I am using ubuntu 10.10 live cd so i can format the hard discs and then i will re-install ubuntu server 11.04 | 04:08 |
| bekor | thanks | 04:08 |
| paulus68 | Ghostx562: ok | 04:09 |
| psingh | debware: oic | 04:09 |
| Dagmar | Hmm... found a bug with update-grub when Slackware is installed. | 04:09 |
| Dagmar | I could report it, but that would be admitting I've got Ubuntu installed on something | 04:09 |
| Dagmar | This will take some planning. | 04:09 |
| Gr3mlin | new quest from me. setting up my network, im having troubles ifconfig eth0 setting up the gateway | 04:10 |
| fritsch | Gr3mlin: gateway is setup by using route | 04:10 |
| fritsch | Gr3mlin: route add default gw GATEWAY_IP | 04:10 |
| fritsch | Gr3mlin: afterwards do not forget to add dns | 04:11 |
| fritsch | Gr3mlin: is this a server? because you could do it whith the nm-applet just fine | 04:11 |
| Gr3mlin | fritsch: i just want to set the server with a static. | 04:11 |
| fritsch | Gr3mlin: okay the correct way to do this - is done via /etc/network/interfaces | 04:12 |
| paulus68 | fritsch: shouldn't it be better to do this in the interfaces file | 04:12 |
| fritsch | Gr3mlin: but this also can be done with the nm-applet | 04:12 |
| fritsch | paulus68: exactly | 04:12 |
| paulus68 | fritsch: you beat me to it lol | 04:13 |
| larie | hello | 04:13 |
| fritsch | paulus68: but in todays distribution, the graphical ui are very good - so normally no need to edit config files | 04:13 |

| vectory | hi, whats the default pdf printer in 10.04, theres none in System>Administration>Printing | 04:13 |
| fritsch | Gr3mlin: just click on the nm-applet - edit connections - and go for it | 04:13 |
| fritsch | vectory: missing cups-pdf? | 04:14 |
| zykotick9 | Gr3mlin, sorry there is actually a line above what's in the pastebin "allow-hotplug eth0" | 04:15 |
| vectory | cups-pdf seems not to be installed, yes. why would i need it, in 10.4 there is print 2 pdf support | 04:15 |
| paulus68 | fritsch: true however when you work with a server you have no choice | 04:15 |
| fritsch | paulus68: i think he has a gui version installed | 04:15 |

| fritsch | vectory: dpkg -S printeradmin |grep bin | 04:20 |
| fritsch | mae_tae: i think squid is just not running | 04:20 |
| fritsch | mae_tae: if you want to start it, it does not start, cause of some config problems? | 04:21 |
| fritsch | mae_tae: have a look in /var/log/squid | 04:21 |
| mae_tae | fritsch: i see, but i already fix the acl error but still i cannot do service squid reload, but squid is working fine, i mean we can able to browse | 04:22 |
| fritsch | mae_tae: does stop / start work? | 04:22 |
| mae_tae | fritsch: still the same start doesnt work, unknown instance | 04:23 |

| === joe-f2 is now known as joe-f4 | ||
| fritsch | thenickperson: what are the issues? | 04:43 |
| thenickperson | I posted in the forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1849981 | 04:43 |
| thenickperson | this is on ubuntu 11.10 beta 2. I probably did something stupid with setting up my audio software. | 04:43 |
| thenickperson | I can do command line stuff, but I'm a complete noob with advanced audio configuration. | 04:43 |
| thenickperson | most of my progarms just won't play audio at all | 04:44 |
| jk- | thenickperson: tried 'pavucontrol' ? | 04:44 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: could be an issue with pulseaudio | 04:44 |
| thenickperson | it's not installed jk, should I apt-get it? | 04:44 |
| thenickperson | and uggh probably, I followed the audio issues thread | 04:44 |
| jk- | thenickperson: that will let you make sure that the apps are routed to the correct output devices | 04:45 |
| thenickperson | the first couple of thigns worked, so I moved on to alsamixer, but it doesn't help nevermind | 04:45 |
| thenickperson | oh, thanks | 04:45 |
| jk- | thenickperson: yeah, i'd recommend it. | 04:45 |
| thenickperson | isntalling | 04:45 |
| ^NiNjA | id start simpler like checking to see you have the right device selected in the preferences | 04:45 |
| thenickperson | I believe i did | 04:46 |
| thenickperson | oh okay I have pavucontrol open | 04:46 |
| thenickperson | in the gui | 04:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | 11.10? that's #ubuntu+1 I believe | 04:46 |
| thenickperson | yes, it's in beta | 04:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I thought it was because padevchooser is gone? | 04:46 |
| ^NiNjA | i have 3 audio devices on mine at different times. sometimes i can get an odd configuration because of it | 04:47 |
| thenickperson | well, this is odd. the playback tab says system sounds are at 100%, 0db. whenever someone says something in this room (would normally trigger a sound), pidgin's audio control blinks briefly in playback (during the duration of time the sound would normally play) | 04:47 |
| ^NiNjA | might want to check out launchpads bugs report on audio in that beta 2 release | 04:48 |
| thenickperson | I'm just using my laptop's built in speakers, and it seems like now I'm getting audio from nothing | 04:48 |
| thenickperson | true, good idea | 04:48 |
| thenickperson | :\ well what should I do now? | 04:49 |
| ^NiNjA | it being still beta it could be needing a fix | 04:49 |
| thenickperson | it seems like pidgin's audio controls are muted, odd.... | 04:49 |
| thenickperson | let's see if I can play sounds if I get a program to constantly play audio so I can access the sliders | 04:49 |
| ^NiNjA | know your sound device model and manufacturer if its onbaord watch for your chipsets mentioned | 04:49 |

| thenickperson | oh, this seems interesting | 04:54 |
| thenickperson | thanks | 04:54 |
| thenickperson | let me try it out | 04:54 |
| thenickperson | sound test isn't working | 04:54 |
| ^NiNjA | np, just remeber that usually you can google the exact desription of your problem and get a ubuntu help or forum with a similar issue | 04:54 |
| thenickperson | it says to create a new user to test default config of audio stuff. would just using the guest account built into ubuntu be enough? | 04:55 |
| thenickperson | well, my problem's kinda weird, it's just this list of things not playing audio at all, and other things would work | 04:56 |
| thenickperson | except now I think NO audio works, I'm not even getting the sounds when I raise/lower the volume (feature in 11.10) | 04:56 |
| ^NiNjA | so its a particular program(s) and not sound in general? | 04:56 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: is pulseaudio running? | 04:56 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: ps aux |grep pulseaudio | 04:56 |
| thenickperson | yeah, I see pulseaudio in top | 04:57 |
| thenickperson | well, ninja, it was, but now I think it's everything | 04:57 |
| fritsch | okay really wired | 04:57 |
| thenickperson | should I just try audio in my guest account? | 04:57 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: jep! | 04:57 |
| thenickperson | alright brb thanks | 04:57 |
| ^NiNjA | hmm brb | 04:57 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: guest must be member of audio group | 04:57 |
| bambanx | guys any alternative of babylon translator | 04:57 |
| thenickperson | oh | 04:57 |
| thenickperson | good idea | 04:58 |
| thenickperson | how do I do that in the command line? | 04:58 |
| fritsch | sudo adduser myguest audio | 04:58 |
| fritsch | myguest is your guest user | 04:58 |
| fritsch | name :: String | 04:58 |
| thenickperson | oh, crud | 04:58 |
| thenickperson | I don't have an actual guest account | 04:58 |
| thenickperson | it's the guest option in the user switch menu in unity | 04:59 |
| thenickperson | apparently guest and myguest don't exist on my system | 04:59 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: try this - should work | 04:59 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: wargh :-) | 04:59 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: just use the click guest session and have a try | 04:59 |
| nac-godfather | I would like two separate desktops, sorry for the delay. Seven_Six_Two | 04:59 |
| thenickperson | alright trying this now | 05:00 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nac-godfather, then you wouldn't use xinerama or twinview | 05:00 |
| fritsch | okay, i have to be carefully with command line commands - if people just paste them | 05:00 |
| nac-godfather | really, what do you use? | 05:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nac-godfather, and start nvidia-settings with sudo, as you'll have to save the xorg...maybe? | 05:01 |
| nac-godfather | do you think my GTX 460 will autodetect it with ubuntu | 05:01 |
| nac-godfather | Yeah, that's what I was thinking, then edit it to my needs afterwards | 05:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nac-godfather, I have an nvidia6800gt and 2x22"ws as big desktop. with two desktops you can't drag from one monitor to another | 05:02 |
| nac-godfather | gay | 05:02 |
| nac-godfather | why not? | 05:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nac-godfather, because you have 2 desktops, not one big one. two panels, not one. | 05:03 |
| thenickperson | back, audio doesn't work at all in my guest account | 05:03 |
| nac-godfather | well if you make it one desktop, are the icons and everything on one, and the secondary monitor extra space to drag shit to? | 05:03 |
| igie | anyone here have experience with postfix... I keep getting "550 550 #5.1.0 Address rejected" | 05:03 |
| fritsch | igie: setting up a mail server it not a trial and error thing | 05:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nac-godfather, unless one of them is a tv, I would suggest twinview, and set one monitor to absolute positioning. | 05:04 |
| thenickperson | it notices my sound card | 05:04 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: is there audio comming out? | 05:05 |
| nac-godfather | To act they way I just described right? Like Windows, one monitor desktop and second as extension | 05:05 |
| thenickperson | you mean is any audio playing for me? no | 05:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nac-godfather, set your "main" monitor to absolute, and your "other" to relative to the "main". I don't know windows conventions. Haven' | 05:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nac-godfather, haven't used them since early xp | 05:06 |
| igie | Hi fritsch: what do you recommend ? | 05:06 |
| thenickperson | I'm up to step 7 (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting). my sound card DID work fine in ubuntu 11.10 before. should I check this anyway? | 05:06 |
| nac-godfather | yeah, I'm just used to setting up multiple monitors (windows) for work. Not that I'd try at home. | 05:06 |
| ^NiNjA | ok step 7 would be making sure ALSA supports it | 05:07 |
| thenickperson | well, I'm saying though, it worked before, so should I skip it or try it anyway? | 05:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nac-godfather, here's my xorg.conf for comparison. Both of my monitors are 1680x1050 | 05:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nac-godfather, http://pastebin.com/CyNc1P7U | 05:09 |
| nac-godfather | thank you | 05:09 |
| ^NiNjA | i would try the launchpad for 11.10 beta and see if its a common issue or one that has a simple fix yet | 05:10 |
| thenickperson | thanks | 05:10 |
| thenickperson | also, how do I get the name of my soundcard's driver? | 05:10 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: lsmod |grep -i snd | 05:10 |
| GloriaLove | hello | 05:10 |
| GloriaLove | anyone from turkey here? | 05:11 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: i think it is a software issue | 05:11 |
| ^NiNjA | then if there was no precedence in the launchpad i would try a audio manual install like they show in that help page | 05:11 |
| ^NiNjA | i forgot the command just a sec | 05:11 |
| thenickperson | me too, last time I ran windows 7 on this it was fine. and fritsh, when I ran that command, I get like 10-20 drivers. which is it, the first? | 05:11 |
| GameBoy | is there a shell command to search for a word or sentence in multiple files? | 05:11 |
| ^NiNjA | lspci -v | grep "Audio device | 05:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | GameBoy, grep | 05:12 |
| ^NiNjA | i would sudo that to be sure | 05:12 |
| GameBoy | grep needs a file name rite | 05:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | GameBoy, and a regex of what you're looking for | 05:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | GameBoy, sorry. it can just be text too | 05:13 |
| fritsch | GameBoy: cat * |grep -i "text" | 05:13 |
| thenickperson | awesome, I have the name of my sound card | 05:13 |
| ^NiNjA | my bad its lspci -v | grep "Audio device" | 05:13 |
| thenickperson | I got it :P | 05:14 |
| ^NiNjA | k | 05:14 |
| thenickperson | I have "00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)", is my driver SBx00? | 05:14 |
| GameBoy | fritsch: what if my file is inside a sub directory? | 05:14 |
| thenickperson | ack, that didn't work | 05:15 |
| fritsch | GameBoy: grep -r "lala" * | 05:15 |
| zykotick9 | GameBoy, use "grep -ri test * | 05:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | GameBoy, what exactly are you trying to do? just get the filename that contains a match? print the matching line, no matter where it is? count the total number of matches? | 05:16 |
| zykotick9 | fritsch, FYI you don't need to use "cat *", just use "grep foo *" | 05:17 |
| fritsch | zykotick9: jep, thought it over | 05:17 |
| fritsch | you are perfectly right | 05:17 |
| zykotick9 | fritsch, i always used to use cat unnecessarily like that as well ;) | 05:18 |
| thenickperson | I'm having trouble finding my sound drivers, should I just reinstall my sound drivers with "sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2"? I'm just worried, will this delete anything other than my sound config? | 05:18 |
| StepNjump | Anybody running x64 here? | 05:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | StepNjump, me | 05:19 |
| thenickperson | also, I have apt-get, can I just replace "aptitude" with "apt-get"? | 05:19 |
| StepNjump | ok Seven_Six_Two | 05:19 |
| ^NiNjA | thenickperson, i would first go and install synaptic package manager. and then check for any trouble with the packages | 05:19 |
| zykotick9 | thenickperson, careful! you're removing your kernel in that command!!! | 05:19 |
| GameBoy | Guys.. i have grep -ri "text" & .... I am getting a number like 3267. Shouldnt the command execute in background? | 05:19 |
| thenickperson | ah xD | 05:19 |
| StepNjump | Seven_Six_Two, I just manually installed Java. Works great | 05:19 |
| ^NiNjA | 11.10 dropped synaptic for some reason and I think its a big mistake | 05:19 |
| fritsch | software center looks very cool | 05:19 |
| fritsch | but never used graphical stuff | 05:19 |
| StepNjump | How do you like it Seven_Six_Two? Do you find your box runs faster? | 05:19 |
| tim | 64 bit does not work right use 32bit | 05:20 |
| ^NiNjA | then i'd get the deb package installer as well | 05:20 |
| StepNjump | tim, what doesn't work right? | 05:20 |
| fritsch | tim: what is the problem with 64bit? | 05:20 |
| thenickperson | I have synaptic (upgraded from 11.04, could not successfully install off a 11.10 cd). how do I check for issues here? | 05:20 |
| StepNjump | So far so good here | 05:20 |
| Seven_Six_Two | StepNjump, I haven't had a 32bit of the same specs to compare. it's faster than my last pc ;) | 05:20 |
| shawnboy | I have 3 Lucid machines onto which I want to install a package (meta package I guess: mythtv). How can I download all the files from repos once and not have to download them 3 times? | 05:20 |
| ^NiNjA | ubuntu software center shows me some errors with certain deb packages that do nto exist in deb package installer | 05:20 |
| zykotick9 | GameBoy, you can't really grep with & at the end - you need to see the output | 05:20 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: can you just reinstall 11.10? or do you have many files lieing somewhere? | 05:20 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: i think something messed up with pa/alsa etc. | 05:20 |
| StepNjump | thenickperson, ensure CD is ticked off in synaptics/ repositories | 05:20 |
| Seven_Six_Two | StepNjump, not everything uses all available bus though, so it's not 2x as fast | 05:21 |
| GameBoy | zykotick9: Oh... is it.. thanks... | 05:21 |
| nicola_pav | hello. I have an annoying problem. I am trying to run a .jnlp link with iced tea Java web start. while it opens, two boxes appear, one named downloading and the other Warning security and aks me if i want to continue but I cannot click anything neither close any of them | 05:21 |
| nicola_pav | only by killing i will close them :S | 05:21 |
| StepNjump | ok lol Seven_Six_Two | 05:21 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: this is a big problem, because these are many packages playing togeter | 05:21 |
| nicola_pav | please help | 05:21 |
| D3CRYPT0R | h3110 p30p13 | 05:21 |
| StepNjump | Seven_Six_Two I See... / btw, do you have Java installed? | 05:21 |
| nicola_pav | yes | 05:21 |
| ^NiNjA | in synaptic in the edit tab | 05:21 |
| thenickperson | fritsch: I might have done something weird with messing with audio devices :| I just recently reinstalled ubuntu, I can do it again, but I really want to avoid it. and where can I disable cd in synaptic? | 05:22 |
| ^NiNjA | near the bottom should say fix broken packages | 05:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | StepNjump, I think so. I just updated to 11.10 today, so I haven't looked to see which is there | 05:22 |
| tim | video not working because of flash | 05:22 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: we could reproduce what you have done | 05:22 |
| fritsch | but it would be a hard job for ^NiNjA to search through all possiblitites in order to get it working | 05:22 |
| thenickperson | I clicked fix broken packages, it says "Successfully fixed dependency problems" | 05:22 |
| fritsch | hehe | 05:23 |
| ^NiNjA | agredd | 05:23 |
| zykotick9 | D3CRYPT0R, use english, not l33t speak in the channel | 05:23 |
| ^NiNjA | "agreed" even | 05:23 |
| D3CRYPT0R | okay | 05:23 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: http://make-everything-ok.com/ <- tried this one? | 05:23 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: just kidding | 05:23 |
| ^NiNjA | hee hee hee | 05:23 |
| StepNjump | If you don't have it, here are the instructions (though it's in french, you can just do your terminal thing anyway) http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/comment_installer_sun_java6_plugin_64bits, if it might help you out | 05:23 |
| shawnboy | I thought someone would hit my question outta the park right away. Isn't there an easy way to download a package (several actually) on 1 PC for install on 3 without downloading 3 times? | 05:23 |
| GloriaLove | please, someon from turkey | 05:24 |
| GloriaLove | ? | 05:24 |
| thenickperson | awesome xD | 05:24 |
| GloriaLove | *someone | 05:24 |
| StepNjump | Seven_Six_Two: If you don't have it, here are the instructions (though it's in french, you can just do your terminal thing anyway) http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/comment_installer_sun_java6_plugin_64bits, if it might help you out | 05:24 |
| fritsch | shawnboy: apt-proxy can cache packages | 05:24 |
| madurax86 | hello my notebook is getting randomly frozen wen it runs ubuntu, this happens very rarely about once every5days and i dont have anything in the logs, when its frozen no input works including alt+sysrqs | 05:24 |
| zykotick9 | shawnboy, copy from /var/cache/apt/archive or setup an apt-proxy | 05:24 |
| ^NiNjA | thenickperson, since its a new install from cd, I would have to think it might be easier to resintall rather than backtrack or troubleshoot all possibilities | 05:24 |
| D3CRYPT0R | madurax86 i have smae problem | 05:24 |
| thenickperson | what happens if I run "sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2"? will ubuntu be reinstalled or screwed up? | 05:24 |
| shawnboy | fritsch, unfamiliar but may look at that. | 05:25 |
| StepNjump | Seven_Six_Two: http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp | 05:25 |
| thenickperson | ninja: hm, that sucks :| thanks | 05:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | shawnboy, apt-cacher is awesome, and easy to use | 05:25 |
| GameBoy | Guys.. one more question.. kinda new to xchat.. how do i reply to a person.. like a reply with his name prefixed? | 05:25 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: this is not good | 05:25 |
| thenickperson | ninja: still, I want to try if I can get a last minute fix | 05:25 |
| madurax86 | D3CRYPT0R is your hardware asus? I had a faulty CPU before but i got call traces now i get nothing | 05:25 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: pasting comamnds without knowing what you are doing | 05:25 |
| shawnboy | zykotick9, so if I copy from there each package to other machine, then do a dpkg -i on each one by one? | 05:25 |
| D3CRYPT0R | nope HP | 05:25 |
| shawnboy | Seven_Six_Two, Unfamiliar with that. Have to look into it. | 05:25 |
| StepNjump | Seven_Six_Two, no I'm really happy with it. I'm running a netbook with only 1 GB and I think it's running cooler with Opera. Pretty cool | 05:26 |
| ^NiNjA | in my humble opinion each new install should first be followed by an install of synaptic, debpkg installer, before making any other changes. that way you can fix anything that breaks easier | 05:26 |
| thenickperson | fritsch: I know, but it was on the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting page and recommended | 05:26 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: backup your data, try with the above command | 05:26 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: if your system gets unusable, you have to reinstall | 05:26 |
| zykotick9 | shawnboy, or use copy the package(s) to the /var/cache/apt/archive on the other machine and install using regular apt/aptitude/synaptic/U.S.C. means | 05:26 |
| madurax86 | D3CRYPT0R do other OSes work fine? | 05:26 |
| thenickperson | fritsch: so, that command reinstalls ubuntu? or what? | 05:27 |
| D3CRYPT0R | madurx86 heck yes.. this is the first time i installed ubuntu on this computer never had problems with it untill now.. and the problems are random i think its the version of ubuntu im running... | 05:28 |
| shawnboy | zykotick9, if I do that will it look in ../archives before downloading from web? | 05:28 |
| zykotick9 | shawnboy, yup | 05:28 |
| D3CRYPT0R | madurax86 i have ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit currently i will try 11.04 soon | 05:29 |
| shawnboy | COOL | 05:29 |
| shawnboy | thanks. | 05:29 |
| D3CRYPT0R | madurax86...what hardware do you run | 05:29 |
| thenickperson | also, I want to try manually starting my audio driver again, since I haven't tested if it would work yet | 05:29 |
| madurax86 | D3CRYPT0R well i've been run ubuntu stable until some update came on natty for 2.6.38 kernel! until then it was fine, i have an asus notebook i5 | 05:29 |
| D3CRYPT0R | madurax86 intresting you should try a clean install if you cant find a solution it might be a unstable kernel for your processor | 05:31 |
| ahhughes | heya, last night I tried to get my shiney new apple bluetooth keyboard working. FAIL... I could see the dongle, and I could scan for bluetooth devices, and I could see the keyboard, and obtain its mac address. But when I tried to trust if it bitched about not finding the device. Im not at the pc now so I can't paste the log... but there are HEAPS of posts about bluetooth support not working in recent times. Should I be expecting a r | 05:32 |
| === sh4dow is now known as sh3dow | ||
| madurax86 | D3CRYPT0R well this is standard hardware these days, i couldnt try a valnilla kernel since it gets a call trace saying plymouth failed, plus this one's warranty is running out too lol have to know for sure if its hardware | 05:33 |
| === sh3dow is now known as sh7dow | ||
| ^NiNjA | thenickperson, try the launchpad for 11.10 before going any further. there is quite a few bugs left and perhaps yours is there. | 05:34 |
| StepNjump | gameboy, you type /msg nick message | 05:34 |
| ^NiNjA | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-11.10 | 05:34 |
| thenickperson | thanks ninja | 05:35 |
| D3CRYPT0R | madurax86 well ubuntu runs on mostly generic drivers.. and dont get me wrong it dose great but some computer companies provide proprietary drivers and linux dose not do good wtih them that can be a issue aswell | 05:36 |
| thenickperson | should I just search the name of my soundcard, ninja? | 05:36 |
| ^NiNjA | if you dont have a launchpad account get one and then do a search for something like "no sound in ubuntu 11.10" or something like that in the bugs category | 05:37 |
| kaushik_ | i have crashed my grub now , what do i do to get it back | 05:37 |
| kaushik_ | i get prompt | 05:37 |
| thenickperson | reinstall grub | 05:37 |
| kaushik_ | saying grub rescue | 05:37 |
| kaushik_ | > | 05:37 |
| thenickperson | I had this problem recently | 05:37 |
| ^NiNjA | kaushik_, the best way is to get grb recovery cd | 05:38 |
| kaushik_ | reinstall command not found , thenickperson | 05:38 |
| madurax86 | D3CRYPT0R yes the only thing i can do now is to check if its a hardware prob n use an old kernel | 05:38 |
| kaushik_ | i dont have any cd's :( | 05:38 |
| thenickperson | I managed to do it without a cd. I'm just trying to remember how | 05:38 |
| thenickperson | wait no, I did need a c | 05:39 |
| ^NiNjA | http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 05:39 |
| fritsch | thenickperson: hint: usb stick | 05:39 |
| thenickperson | *cd | 05:39 |
| thenickperson | do you already have an ubuntu live cd? | 05:39 |
| thenickperson | or usb stick :P | 05:39 |
| kaushik_ | no i dont have | 05:39 |
| kaushik_ | ok i have the stick | 05:39 |
| ^NiNjA | or you can load it from the CMD line | 05:39 |
| thenickperson | and thanks ninja for your help with launchpad | 05:39 |
| jroysdon | Anyone have a guide for a PXEboot install over the network? I've done it with Fedora/CentOS. I've got laptops and servers with no CD/DVD that I want to install on. | 05:39 |
| kaushik_ | what are the commands | 05:39 |
| kaushik_ | what are the commands ? | 05:39 |
| kaushik_ | can i get them online ? | 05:39 |
| fritsch | kaushik_: yes | 05:39 |
| thenickperson | how do I search the list, just ctrl-f? or does the site have search for launcpad? | 05:40 |
| ^NiNjA | np thenickperson | 05:40 |
| fritsch | bool canIGetThemOnline(); | 05:40 |
| thenickperson | nevermind I found the search | 05:40 |
| zykotick9 | kaushik_, most likely, getting some live media and chrooting to reinstall/reconfigure grub will be easier for you then trying to boot your kernel from grub rescue - but maybe not?!?! Good luck. | 05:40 |
| thenickperson | kaushik, I think I used this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery | 05:41 |
| D3CRYPT0R | madurax86 try a newr version of ubuntu like 10.04 LTS | 05:41 |
| thenickperson | it requires a live cd for some sort of linux, preferably ubuntu | 05:41 |
| ^NiNjA | kaushik_, go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 05:42 |
| thenickperson | you basically just want to boot off a cd and either reinstall or clear the config of grub on your hard disk | 05:43 |
| kaushik_ | actually | 05:44 |
| kaushik_ | there was windows and ubuntu | 05:44 |
| kaushik_ | together | 05:44 |
| thenickperson | there's a command to auto reset what OSes it finds, then it should be working fine | 05:44 |
| zykotick9 | madurax86, Lucid 10.04LTS should be using a 2.6.32 kernel BTW | 05:44 |
| madurax86 | D3CRYPT0R i was using 11.10! with the newest kernel first 3.0.0-18 and with 2.6.38-8 later same thing but with 3 it froze so soon | 05:44 |
| kaushik_ | and due to some error | 05:44 |
| thenickperson | yes, I had the same problem | 05:44 |
| kaushik_ | while rebooting | 05:44 |
| ^NiNjA | that page i sent you to go about halfway down for a good explanation of grb rescue mode and how to use it | 05:44 |
| kaushik_ | i only get grub rescue | 05:44 |
| kaushik_ | ok | 05:44 |
| kaushik_ | thanks a lot ninjah | 05:44 |
| ^NiNjA | NP | 05:44 |
| madurax86 | zykotick9 i ran natty with 2.6.38 perfectly until an update came | 05:45 |
| thenickperson | I know, that's why you need a live cd to boot off of. can you do that? | 05:45 |
| thenickperson | or do you have a flash drive? | 05:45 |
| ^NiNjA | i know the help docs people are far more accurate than I am | 05:45 |
| D3CRYPT0R | madurax86 64bit 32bit?... | 05:45 |
| madurax86 | D3CRYPT0R 64bit | 05:45 |
| ^NiNjA | I would recommend keeping a super grub disk around for just such occassions | 05:46 |
| kaushik_ | the exact error i am getting is | 05:46 |
| kaushik_ | error : no such partition | 05:47 |
| kaushik_ | grub rescue > | 05:47 |
| D3CRYPT0R | madurax86 reinstall and make a largers swap partition it will improve perfromance and pssibly put a hault to your problem | 05:47 |
| thenickperson | kaushik, do you have a live cd or live usb? | 05:48 |
| ^NiNjA | ah, then its either not reading the grub cfg correctly or its not there, or something along those lines | 05:48 |
| kaushik_ | no i dont have any | 05:49 |
| kaushik_ | unfortunately | 05:49 |
| kaushik_ | :( | 05:49 |
| thenickperson | can you make one? | 05:49 |

| thenickperson | yeah, you should do that | 05:49 |
| kaushik_ | usb | 05:49 |

| thenickperson | if you want to use windows on your computer | 05:49 |
| madurax86 | D3CRYPT0R it wasnt even using the swap at that time, i have physical 4gb | 05:49 |
| GameBoy | Which is faster for same set of tasks - A shell script or a program in some language like C... ? | 05:50 |
| thenickperson | boot from a windows isntall disk, go to repair, and try to repair your startup using the gui tools | 05:50 |
| thenickperson | wait a bit | 05:50 |
| thenickperson | and hopefully it will remove grub and let you boot windows | 05:50 |
| ^NiNjA | kaushik_, how old is your PC? or more accurately is your bios up to date? | 05:50 |
| kaushik_ | yeah updated | 05:50 |
| kaushik_ | its quite new | 05:50 |
| thenickperson | ubuntu will still be there, you'll just be stuck in windows for a bit | 05:50 |
| kaushik_ | 1 yr od | 05:50 |
| kaushik_ | old | 05:50 |
| kaushik_ | yeah i get it | 05:50 |
| ^NiNjA | ok | 05:50 |
| ^NiNjA | also, this may seem silly but... make sure you dont have any usb mp3 players connected | 05:53 |
| ^NiNjA | or unformatted or badly formatted usb drives | 05:53 |
| ^NiNjA | i have had issues with my sons mp3 player ...lol dont ask | 05:53 |
| mfauzirahman | /msg nickserv help register | 05:53 |
| ^NiNjA | i very nearly wiped my grub trying to fix something that was caused by an mp3 player plugged into a usb port | 05:54 |
| thenickperson | yikes o_o | 05:55 |
| D3CRYPT0R | peace everyone i am off to windows going to go learn some c++ | 05:55 |
| fritsch | D3CRYPT0R: linux also has a c++ compiler | 05:56 |
| fritsch | D3CRYPT0R: a very good one, btw. | 05:56 |
| D3CRYPT0R | really wat is the name?.... | 05:56 |
| fritsch | gcc g++ | 05:57 |
| D3CRYPT0R | fritsch really what is the name | 05:57 |
| fritsch | D3CRYPT0R: www.gcc.org | 05:57 |
| fritsch | ups! | 05:58 |
| fritsch | sorry | 05:58 |
| thenickperson | why am I getting an absolutely massive list of software that apt-get upgrade is installing? o_O is 11.10 beta 3 out? | 05:58 |
| fritsch | http://gcc.gnu.org/ | 05:58 |
| fritsch | this one | 05:58 |
| fritsch | D3CRYPT0R: there is no need for visual studio doing c++ | 05:58 |
| ^NiNjA | well its a beta | 05:58 |
| fritsch | D3CRYPT0R: for the beginnging, a simple text editor is enough | 05:58 |
| thenickperson | I know | 05:59 |
| thenickperson | I better reboot and see if I can get lucky with getting my sound back | 05:59 |
| D3CRYPT0R | fritsch well that website took me nowhere..... | 05:59 |
| fritsch | D3CRYPT0R: sudo apt-get install gcc g++ | 05:59 |
| fritsch | D3CRYPT0R: this will install a c / c++ compiler onto your ubuntu system | 05:59 |
| ^NiNjA | the next release will be rc 1 then rc2 | 05:59 |
| ^NiNjA | good luck | 05:59 |
| fritsch | D3CRYPT0R: afterwards you can write c++ code on linux and compile and run it | 05:59 |
| thenickperson | brb rebooting | 05:59 |
| thenickperson | thanks | 05:59 |
| D3CRYPT0R | fritsch so it will give me the compiler over terminal right?... | 06:00 |
| fritsch | D3CRYPT0R: 1 | 06:00 |
| Snicksie | D3CRYPT0R, i use code::blocks for learning c++, it has autocompletion and its quite easy to use :) | 06:00 |
| zykotick9 | D3CRYPT0R, install the package "build-essential" to get most requirements in one package | 06:00 |
| Snicksie | thats available at ubuntu, so you don't need to reboot anymore :D | 06:01 |
| D3CRYPT0R | Snicksie what dp you mean code::blocks?... | 06:02 |
| D3CRYPT0R | gdzf | 06:03 |
| thenickperson | hm, I'm back | 06:04 |
| thenickperson | volume change sounds work | 06:04 |
| thenickperson | pidgin is silent | 06:04 |
| thenickperson | this computer is probably overheating... could that be an issue? :\ | 06:04 |
| thenickperson | WHOAH I HAVE AUDIO IN FLASH | 06:04 |
| thenickperson | ohhhh, yay, I have most sound back :D but I still don't get why pidgin is silent... | 06:05 |
| nick_name | irc_test | 06:05 |
| zykotick9 | thenickperson, possible a new issue with your ENTER key though ;) | 06:06 |
| fritsch | hehe | 06:06 |
| thenickperson | hm? | 06:06 |
| ^NiNjA | pidgin ight need the plugin pack and most likely the audio/video plugin | 06:06 |
| Gr3mlin | hay, all, if LM-SENSORS is returning "acpitz-virtual-0 adapter: virtual device, temp1: +64.0*c | 06:06 |
| fritsch | zykotick9: could also be shift key :-) | 06:06 |
| wzg | :-) | 06:06 |
| Gr3mlin | its a good sign its not detecting my system right!? | 06:06 |
| lokomis | thenickperson check pidgin's sound preferences to make sure you haven't disabled them in some way | 06:07 |
| ^NiNjA | pidgin will use system sounds those you have to select in the audio preferences | 06:07 |
| paul3 | hey, guys | 06:09 |
| paul3 | why do I have an noname process in htop? :) | 06:10 |
| acegiak | so I can't decide between standard ubuntu and installing xfce or just installing xubuntu | 06:10 |
| ^NiNjA | if ur running a ubuntu beta try and make sure you have a launchpad account and can submit bugs and able to look up bugs | 06:10 |
| acegiak | just because unity's window management annoys me | 06:10 |
| sandeepkumar35_ | i need some help regarding my touch pad scrolling can someone help? | 06:10 |
| ^NiNjA | it helps the developers | 06:10 |
| kaushik_ | ninjah, actually its not working for me | 06:11 |
| sandeepkumar35_ | i have bought a vostro 1015 uite recently and i cannot figure how to enable scrolling in it | 06:11 |
| ^NiNjA | acegiak, Xubuntu is regular ubuntu with xfce instead of unity/gnome | 06:11 |
| ^NiNjA | and various cosmetics and packages for xfce | 06:11 |
| thenickperson | thanks for the help | 06:12 |
| blwesse | hello | 06:12 |
| ^NiNjA | what exactly isnt working kaushik_ ? | 06:12 |
| blwesse | 0 0 | 06:13 |
| kaushik_ | no commands are working | 06:13 |
| ^NiNjA | kaushik_, how did you install your ubuntu? | 06:15 |
| ^NiNjA | as in waht media or source did u use | 06:15 |
| sandeepkumar35_ | someone can help me plz? | 06:15 |
| ^NiNjA | "what" | 06:15 |
| ^NiNjA | sandeepkumar35_, ask your question or stste your problem some will help if they can | 06:16 |
| Ibis | ^NiNjA: <sandeepkumar35_> i have bought a vostro 1015 uite recently and i cannot figure how to enable scrolling in it | 06:16 |
| fritsch | sandeepkumar35_: is this a synaptics touchpad? | 06:16 |
| Ibis | Apparently, no one knows at this time, or they're already looking into it. Shoudn't repeat though. | 06:16 |
| ^NiNjA | Ibis, that is a laptop with a track pad i take it? | 06:16 |
| sandeepkumar35_ | iam tottaly new in ubuntu so iam not sure | 06:17 |
| sandeepkumar35_ | but in windows it needs alps driver | 06:17 |
| fritsch | ahhh | 06:17 |
| len | What is the currently accepted method of doing what you used to do in xorg.conf to set the proper dpi for your monitor (by setting DisplaySize <width in mm> <height in mm> in the monitor section)? | 06:17 |
| Ibis | sandeepkumar35_: What's the name of the driver? Does it have any special name? | 06:17 |
| thenickperson | I have a quick pidgin question, if someone has it open, it would be awesome if you could check something in your settings for a sec | 06:18 |
| StepNjump | thenickperson: what's the question | 06:18 |
| zykotick9 | len, if you don't find another solution: it is possible to generate an xorg.conf and customize it | 06:18 |
| thenickperson | when you open sounds tab in pidgin settings, and you select a sound, does it always show "(default)"? | 06:19 |
| thenickperson | I think it's supposed to do that | 06:19 |
| thenickperson | but preview doesn't work for me | 06:19 |
| ^NiNjA | if scrolling isnt working in your laptop trackpad, the first thing to check is your bios hardware settings | 06:20 |
| ^NiNjA | particularly "hardware mouse" or such | 06:20 |
| StepNjump | thenickperson, sorry I just realized I don't have it installed. I'm currently updating my packages. sorry | 06:20 |
| c03 | hi | 06:21 |
| c03 | I can | 06:21 |
| ^NiNjA | thenickperson, try ther different plugins you can find in synaptic for pidgin. lots of good features you can add with them | 06:21 |
| c03 | I can't get glx to work on my Asus U36SD | 06:21 |
| c03 | Running 11.04 | 06:22 |
| c03 | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 06:22 |
| c03 | Can anyone help? | 06:23 |
| fritsch | c03: you are using nvidia? | 06:23 |
| c03 | no idea | 06:23 |
| c03 | tried to disable it | 06:23 |
| c03 | but I have no idea what's currently active | 06:23 |
| c03 | Apparently it's a hybrid laptop | 06:24 |
| Snicksie | it should have an nvidia chip inside :) | 06:24 |
| c03 | yea, but also an intel | 06:24 |
| Snicksie | ahox, in that case it might be it's using the intel-chip | 06:24 |
| Ibis | sandeepkumar35_: Try poking around in System → Preferences → Mouse. | 06:25 |
| Snicksie | as far as I know, the hybrid functionality doesn't work in ubuntu, but I might be wrong :) | 06:25 |
| c03 | but wouldn't the intel be able of running glxgears?? | 06:25 |
| ^NiNjA | ur either running nvidia or intel graphics and either open source or proprietary drivers for them | 06:25 |
| doran | hi | 06:27 |
| c03 | how do I just get one of the running normally with glx working? | 06:27 |
| len | zykotick9, I tried that but it doesn't work. I <cntrl F1> to a terminal, kill kdm, run sudo Xorg -configure, and it tries to generate a xorg.conf but errors out with a message "number of screens does not match number of detected device | 06:27 |
| Snicksie | seems there might be a way for hybrid graphics c03 : http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/ | 06:27 |
| Gr3mlin | anyone able to help me get lm-sensors working/ | 06:28 |
| c03 | yea did that guide Snicksie | 06:28 |
| c03 | but that didn't really do anything | 06:28 |
| ^NiNjA | Gr3mlin, whats the problem? | 06:28 |
| Gr3mlin | ^NiNjA: still getting the hang of linux and i cant get lm-sensors to say anything other than virtual device | 06:29 |
| Gr3mlin | and my feet are cold | 06:30 |
| ^NiNjA | okay did you install all the lm-sensors dependencies? | 06:30 |
| doran | I have a quick question can somebody specify the exact driver to use for RV280 [Radeon 9200] with ubuntu 10.04 or if it is even compatible. | 06:30 |
| rww | doran: radeon, probably. it's not compatible with fglrx, anyway. | 06:30 |
| ^NiNjA | this would be the eye candy desklets or screenlets app i take it? | 06:30 |
| Gr3mlin | ^NiNjA: nope, maybe? how? | 06:31 |
| crunchbang | hiii | 06:31 |
| doran | its working im on it right now but its not able to play games or anything | 06:31 |
| Ibis | sandeepkumar35_: See anything useful there? | 06:31 |
| ^NiNjA | ok maybe you can first tell me what version of ubuntu u are runing and what app is using the lm-sensors | 06:32 |
| Gr3mlin | im running ubuntu server 11.04 and i wanted to see the temps and fan speeds | 06:32 |
| crunchbang | how to change the user id password | 06:32 |
| ^NiNjA | ok ur running server got ya.. okay i would go over to the Ubuntu-server channel. i am not so familiar with server as i am desktop | 06:33 |
| ^NiNjA | wouldnt want to tell you wrong thing | 06:34 |
| Gr3mlin | ok, thanks! | 06:34 |
| ^NiNjA | np | 06:34 |
| ^NiNjA | should be #ubuntu-server | 06:35 |
| crunchbang | how to change user id passwd plz help | 06:35 |

| wyang_ | i see it is empty | 06:40 |
| rapier | hi | 06:41 |
| gnewb | I have CB!# on this box, it can be done two ways, or more, CLI is my preferred method... | 06:42 |
| rapier | can anyone tell me which channel i should join if i have questions about getting my wireless set up? | 06:42 |
| ^NiNjA | wyang_, i would try ubuntu-server or apache specific rooms for help. here is just general ubuntu help primarily desktops | 06:42 |
| Polah | wyang_: apache2 is used to configure I believe, that should contain some things. If not, then specifying anything in there should override defaults | 06:42 |
| booh | oin #samba | 06:44 |
| lokomis | rapier ask here if it has to do with configuring Ubuntu for your network. If anybody who sees it can help they likely will. | 06:46 |
| rapier | hi, ive spent 2 days looking on forums to get my wireless to work but without luck. i dont suppose anyone here could help me out pls? | 06:46 |
| rapier | thx lokomis | 06:46 |
| wyang_ | hmm.... when i run "apache2ctl restart", and got an error. Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', | 06:46 |
| rapier | ive just completed a fresh install of blackbuntu | 06:47 |

| ubottu | rapier: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:49 |

| rapier | thx ubottu, ive read this page also but still no luck im affraid. | 06:50 |
| gnewb | neato | 06:51 |
| gnewb | binarymutant: Have you tried Bleach Bit or something? | 06:51 |
| binarymutant | gnewb: will try now ty :D | 06:51 |
| ^NiNjA | rapier, i think the reason no one has responded is that wireless is usually dependent on the manufacturer of your wireless devices | 06:52 |
| gnewb | binarynutant: you are welcome, I used some of them testing kFree,, | 06:52 |
| ^NiNjA | most issues i have had with wireless has been an issue with prorietary drivers or manufacturers lack of software or support | 06:53 |
| rapier | thx ninja, indeed it is. aparantly my wireless should work, Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 | 06:53 |
| wyang_ | somsip: seems works | 06:53 |
| rapier | i have tried multiple guides and how to's but nothing seems to be working | 06:54 |
| ^NiNjA | ok i would first run a search for that in launchpad | 06:54 |
| gnewb | rapier: Tried wicd? | 06:54 |
| wyang_ | somsip: but face another problem... | 06:54 |
| binarymutant | gnewb: bleachbit isn't exactly what I was looking for :/ I only made a 2Gb root partition and /usr/share is taking up a lot of space | 06:54 |
| rapier | no i havent gnewb | 06:54 |
| ^NiNjA | adding your ubuntu version as well | 06:54 |
| edwardpatch | who knows gd themes | 06:54 |
| Gentoo64 | binarymutant, you probably dont need it any of them | 06:55 |
| gnewb | binarymutant: Oh use gparted | 06:55 |
| ^NiNjA | i will do a launchpad search with you | 06:55 |
| rapier | how do i do a launchpad search? | 06:55 |
| edwardpatch | who knows gd themes for ubuntu | 06:55 |
| binarymutant | won't changing the partitions in gparted destroy my precious /home partition ? Very worried about damage like that | 06:55 |
| ^NiNjA | ok first what version of ubuntu are you running? | 06:56 |
| edwardpatch | 11.04 | 06:56 |
| gnewb | binarymutant: Make a backup, then go for it. | 06:56 |
| Gentoo64 | binarymutant, youll have to resize some partitions | 06:56 |
| Gentoo64 | binarymutant, if home comes after root, resize home, then add the unallocated space to rooy | 06:56 |
| rapier | ninja, was that question for me? | 06:57 |
| ^NiNjA | sorry edwardpatch i was talking to someone else . but im not a GDM thme expert | 06:57 |
| ^NiNjA | yes sorry rapier | 06:57 |
| rapier | :) | 06:57 |
| rapier | how can i see the version im rnning? | 06:57 |
| ^NiNjA | im getting a bit tired and slow tonight | 06:57 |
| rapier | im using version 10.10 ninja | 06:57 |
| binarymutant | idk, very worrisome :/ Maybe just reinstalling a minimal install onto root might be better... | 06:58 |
| Gentoo64 | binarymutant, how would that help if root is only 2gb | 06:58 |
| ^NiNjA | ok 10.10 had a few wireless issues and I don't know exactly what all got fixed. BRB | 06:59 |
| binarymutant | Gentoo64: >500mb minimal install? | 06:59 |
| Gentoo64 | i doubt youd get ubuntu on 500mb | 06:59 |
| Gentoo64 | very doubt | 06:59 |
| binarymutant | Gentoo64: they don't have a very minimal iso? | 07:00 |
| binarymutant | Gentoo64: Like Arch or Gentoo... | 07:00 |
| Gentoo64 | i think they do have a minimal yes | 07:00 |
| binarymutant | even Debian has one :D | 07:00 |
| gnewb | Yes there is | 07:00 |
| Gentoo64 | but om not sure if itd fit on 500mb, or if it did... you wouldnt be able to do much with it lol | 07:00 |
| Gentoo64 | whats the point? | 07:01 |
| ^NiNjA | rapier, i would highly recommend you create a launchpad account it can help immensly with developement and fixing issues you have. | 07:01 |
| ^NiNjA | takes minutes and really can help | 07:01 |
| rapier | ok, will do it right away | 07:01 |
| binarymutant | the full iso installed lots of libs I dont use since I'm not using gnome. idk need to step back and evaluate. ty for the help | 07:02 |
| ^NiNjA | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu | 07:02 |
| Gentoo64 | binarymutant, yes the minimal sounds like a good idea then. no point installing all of it if your just gona use custom stuff. might as well strip it out | 07:02 |
| ^NiNjA | rapier i would search there in the bugs section for your specific wireless hardware | 07:03 |
| ^NiNjA | sorry i cant be more help to you. I am not a wireless expert | 07:04 |
| ^NiNjA | and as tired as i am I may tell you something wrong | 07:04 |

| BearCub | Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 in VirtualBox (as a guest) on a Win 7 system. My microphone, a standard 3.5mm jobber, works fine in Windows, and I have guest additions installed, but even after un-muting the input channel in sound prefs, I can't get the mic to register any input at all. Help please? | 07:30 |
| gnewb | bluebird: I simply trimmed it down a bit. | 07:30 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | so which download is for intel 64-bit? of the beta2 for 11.10? is there one? theres a amd64 but thats not for intel cpu right? | 07:31 |
| gnewb | !multimedia | BearCub | 07:31 |
| ubottu | BearCub: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 07:31 |
| gnewb | BearCub: That is not exactly it, but may help. Might be a codec thing. | 07:32 |
| Flannel | AndroidLoverInSF: AMD64 is the 64bit version, for both AMD and Intel processors. (Just like i386 is 32bit, even though the i stands for intel) | 07:32 |
| === tfilipczuk is now known as makak | ||
| Flannel | AndroidLoverInSF: It's just the common name for the architecutre | 07:32 |

| AndroidLoverInSF | i see thanks | 07:37 |
| BearCub | I checked all 3 links, and the 2nd one had me open the same sound control panel I've been using. it's set to duplex audio (1 in/1 out), and nothing is muted, but still I see no activity when I select any microphone. | 07:37 |
| gnewb | bluebird: That link is a How-To, but sometimes squid is overkill. | 07:37 |
| proxyman | i have installed squid proxy server to my ubuntu. i want that my friends can use it too and not only people from inside my network. can i get advice? | 07:37 |
| gnewb | bluebird, proxyman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Squid | 07:38 |
| BearCub | There are maybe 5 different audio inputs in the sound cpanel such as mic 1, mic 2, mic video, and 2 others I can't recall, tried them all, no joy. | 07:38 |
| proxyman | gnewb: that is only for local network :/ | 07:39 |
| bluebird | gnewb: ok | 07:40 |
| BearCub | Does virtualbox have known issues with being unable to pass mic audio to a VM? | 07:40 |
| iceroot | BearCub: #vbox should be a good place | 07:40 |

| fireprint | n4dsp, just anyone out there on google that im looking for at the moment. you were wanting to locate a file.. locate would be something you should look into "locate" either within *nix.. like "man locate" or in google to search for "how to locate a file with ubuntu" just dig into it.

| dotblank | I would like to add in support | 08:44 |
| ikonia | support to what ? | 08:44 |
| dotblank | the kernel | 08:45 |
| dotblank | or make a module | 08:45 |
| ikonia | are you sure you don't want it in xorg ? | 08:45 |
| dotblank | well its on the driver level | 08:45 |
| dotblank | sooo no not in xorg | 08:45 |
| ikonia | dotblank: who the keys not trigger events ? | 08:45 |
| dotblank | I ran xev and it looks like X isn't getting the key presses at all from those keys | 08:46 |
| dotblank | I expected that | 08:46 |
| dotblank | bascially the usb hid profile I am using doesn't recognize those keys | 08:46 |
| dotblank | so I either have to hack it in using libusb or do some crazy kernel stuff in order to get X to even see it | 08:47 |

| n4dsp | thanks | 08:53 |
| Red_Rail | i keep forgetting that the menu is on the top left of the screen | 08:53 |
| n4dsp | ok | 08:53 |
| dotblank | something like .evolution or .gnome/apps/evolution | 08:53 |

| ikonia | hellofoo: the man page is quite good however "man ifconfig" | 08:54 |
| hellofoo | i am talking about the output th | 08:54 |

| hellofoo | ok, lets check the man page. thanks. | 08:54 |

| zastaph | how do I install UltraVNC server on Ubuntu? There are so many results to aptitude search vnc | 09:14 |
| zastaph | vnc4server and vnc-server .. what kind are they? generic VNC ? | 09:16 |
| Lasers__ | zastaph: "aptitude search vnc | less" -- So you can look at them all. | 09:16 |
| Lasers__ | !vnc | zastaph | 09:16 |
| ubottu | zastaph: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 09:16 |
| roland- | hello anyone from turkey? | 09:16 |
| imac | some please solve my problem.. | 09:16 |
| imac | SDC++ working on wine .. | 09:17 |
| imac | but the windows are not visible >.< | 09:17 |
| zastaph | Lasers, so I need to use generic VNC together with SSH port forwarding? and then what on the client? (windows) .. UltraVNC has encryption builtin | 09:18 |
| zastaph | i guess if it uses SSH i can't just use the ultravnc viewer on windows | 09:18 |
| Lasers__ | You could use different VNC viewer. | 09:19 |
| Lasers__ | Or UltraVNC Viewer might work. I never really used VNC myself. ssh usually get the job done. | 09:20 |
| zastaph | this seem to work with X, which I heard is slow | 09:21 |
| zastaph | my problem with tightvnc has been the latency issues | 09:21 |
| zastaph | i don't think adding SSH/X into the loop will improve performance? :p | 09:22 |

| ActionParsnip | Quiet today.....too quiet.... | 09:58 |
| Myrtti | ActionParsnip: dont jinx it | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Maybe the last updates fixed all known bugs :-) | 10:00 |
| new2net | ActionParsnip, How can I remove the "shutdown" program? | 10:00 |
| duffman | i tried googling, but maybe anyone here has some suggestions. I would like to find an alternative to spotify that works on linux. In short: music, what do you recommend? I tried looking in the ubuntu one store, but it doesn't carry half what i like to listen to, i tried looking into grooveshark but adobe air is discontinued, i am running out of ideas. :( Also within the european trade zone, as this often is relevant to these services.. | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | new2net: could mark it as not executable, not sure how it would affect other stuff but easy to undo | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Duffman: grooveshark | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | duffman: gah | 10:01 |
| duffman | ActionParsnip: how are you using it? | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Use the site no need for adobe air | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Duffman: or you could queue videos in a YouTube playlist and let the music play | 10:04 |
| duffman | let me check if grooveshark premium is available in europe | 10:04 |
| madawei | connect irc.freenod.net | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | duffman: does Spotify not run in wine for you? | 10:05 |
| Pumpkin-_ | duffman: I assume you already know, but spotify is avalible on Linux | 10:05 |
| madawei | connect irc.freenode.net | 10:05 |
| === Martin_ is now known as BlaDe^ | ||
| ActionParsnip | madawei: you are already on freenode | 10:05 |
| duffman | Pumpkin-_: yes, except that i just broke up with spotify, this facebook thing is a bit hard to swallow :) | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Pumpkin-_: | 10:06 |
| new2net | ActionParsnip, How hot is 61*C in Fahrenheit? | 10:06 |
| wzg | jubuntu 5:10 | 10:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Native Spotify client needs a full account | 10:06 |
| wzg | +j | 10:07 |
| madawei | join #bshellz | 10:07 |
| Pumpkin-_ | ActionParsnip: yeah, but when duffman mentioned he was interested in Grooveshark Premium, I was guessing that wouldn't be an issue. | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | new2net: that is offtopic here. Google has a convert function | 10:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Pumpkin-_: reasonable enough | 10:08 |
| new2net | ActionParsnip, yes... I will stop pestering you now, looks like it picked up (and you reminded me of something important) | 10:09 |
| duffman | grooveshark looks pretty sweet. | 10:09 |
| duffman | i am going to give it a try till my spotify subscription runs out. Thank you ActionParsnip | 10:09 |

| marshy | I've installed mysql using aptitude. How can I configure which flags the mysql service runs with? | 10:19 |
| jrib | marshy: read (and maybe edit depending on what you read) its init script in /etc/init (or if not there, in /etc/init.d) | 10:20 |
| LinTux | How do i install wine from Terminal | 10:20 |
| LjL | sudo apt-get install wine | 10:20 |
| marshy | jrib: the problem is that the /etc/init.d/mysqld script looks like this | 10:20 |
| van7hu | hi all | 10:20 |
| marshy | # Symlink target for initscripts that have been converted to Upstart. | 10:20 |
| LinTux | LjL many thanks | 10:21 |
| razer_aj | gr33n7007h: Thanks a lot man | 10:21 |
| marshy | it's a generic script | 10:21 |
| jrib | marshy: because you did not follow my directions :D | 10:21 |
| gr33n7007h | no probs | 10:21 |
| marshy | jrib: i did | 10:21 |
| jrib | marshy: look in /etc/init, not /etc/init.d | 10:21 |
| van7hu | why 'newgrp - group_name' gives me ' expr: syntax error' | 10:21 |
| van7hu | ? | 10:21 |
| marshy | i'll be damned. | 10:21 |
| marshy | jrib: ur right | 10:22 |
| jrib | van7hu: works fine here | 10:22 |
| marshy | is this the line i edit? exec /usr/sbin/mysqld | 10:23 |
| jrib | van7hu: what did you type exactly? | 10:23 |
| van7hu | jrib: 'newgrp - adm' | 10:23 |
| razer_aj | One more question.. Some windows exceed my Screen size and I am not able to see the 'Next' button.. How I can reveal everything?? | 10:23 |
| jrib | marshy: if you see nothing that would let you customize it elsewhere, yes. Sometimes you'll see that you can set options using files in /etc/default/ | 10:23 |
| van7hu | jrib: 'newgrp adm' works well | 10:24 |
| Tallken | razer_aj, move them using the mouse anywhere on the window and pressing ALT | 10:24 |
| jrib | van7hu: it's something in your shell's startup files | 10:24 |
| jrib | van7hu: what you just said suggests you should check ~/.profile first | 10:24 |
| van7hu | jrib: oh, out of my knowledge | 10:25 |
| jrib | van7hu: hmm? | 10:25 |
| marshy | jrib: how do i know if i can use options from /etc/default/ | 10:26 |
| jrib | marshy: you would read the init script, that's the only way I know | 10:26 |
| van7hu | jrib: then, what to look up? | 10:26 |
| razer_aj | Tallken: Thanks | 10:26 |
| jrib | van7hu: read ~/.profile. If nothing there uses 'expr', then I'd move on to other relevant files. If you can't find the culprit, rename these files one at a time until the issue goes away. Then investigate further | 10:27 |
| marshy | jrib: it only says this in the post-start script: /usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file="${HOME}"/debian.cnf ping | 10:27 |
| jrib | marshy: what's $HOME? | 10:27 |
| marshy | i can't tell | 10:28 |
| jrib | marshy: what do you want to change? | 10:28 |
| marshy | jrib: i want mysql to generate a pid | 10:28 |
| marshy | should i just do that with my.cnf instead | 10:28 |
| rabbi1 | for 11.04 with 160 GB the partitions for / , /swap, /root and /home should be how much ? | 10:29 |
| razer_aj | Hey guys... how can I get Super+A to work?? Which setting in Compiz should I turn on? | 10:29 |
| jrib | marshy: it's probably /etc/mysql/debian.cnf judging by google. I would try that | 10:29 |

| dr_willis | afd make a fstab entry for it with the right options. | 10:32 |
| jrib | marshy: I don't know | 10:32 |

| vuln | Hello there. I installed Ubuntu from Windows, using Wubi. It seems there is one partition both for Windows and Wubi. Is it right?! | 11:20 |
| IdleOne | vuln: correct | 11:21 |
| vuln | IdleOne: However, my ubuntu installation now has no available space anymore, even though the partition has over 100gb left. | 11:21 |

| vuln | How can I lower the amount of space Windows has under its domain and free more for Ubuntu? | 11:22 |

| IdleOne | vuln: wubi creates a file partition and depends on how much you allocated at install. iirc the max is 30gb | 11:22 |
| vuln | I will restart the computer (the one with the ubuntu by Wubi) | 11:22 |

I'll also copy some dirs of things I had to the /home/. Do you have any suggestions to do? (I kept the same username) | 12:40 |

| Noobie | bazhang, To make avi's or mp4 of my dvds so I can watch them on my usb media player | 13:05 |
| bazhang | Noobie, I'd advise ogmrip | 13:05 |
| jasonmsp | theadmin: thanks. Am I understanding correctly if I run that on command line that will search the mounted folders when I click on the dash find files? | 13:05 |
| Noobie | MonkeyDust, Its a dvd transcoding program | 13:05 |
| Noobie | bazhang, Is it user friendly and supports subtitles? | 13:05 |
| theadmin | jasonmsp: Nah... It's just a CLI way of searching ;) Forget GUIs | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Noobie: none and all. Try them to see which you prefer | 13:05 |

| Noobie | bazhang, Is it as easy to use as handbrake? | 13:06 |
| kpettit | I'll try that, thanks | 13:06 |
| bazhang | Noobie, easier, imo. give it a try | 13:07 |
| Noobie | bazhang, Ok cool I will does it support subtitles? | 13:07 |
| MonkeyDust | Noobie: when you found out, you are the expert :) | 13:07 |
| bazhang | Noobie, dont remember offhand, its in the repos you can give a try | 13:07 |
| Noobie | MonkeyDust, Sorry didn't get what you meant? | 13:07 |
| Noobie | bazhang, Installing it now | 13:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Noobie: we're not familiar with handbrake, so it's best you try it out :) | 13:08 |
| jasonmsp | ActionParsnip: thats command line also. I'm trying to get unity GUI dash to search the mounted folders when I click on find files.

| Noobie | bazhang, How long usually does it take to rip using ogmrip? | 13:09 |
| dtigue | Noobie: about 45 min. to an hour | 13:10 |
| theadmin | aar: Ctrl+Shift+u00b6 should give you a pilcrow, for instance. | 13:10 |
| Noobie | dtigue, Really thats short handbrake takes about 5 hours | 13:10 |
| theadmin | aar: "u00b6" must be typed in, not pressed at the same time | 13:10 |
| theadmin | aar: But you should hold ctrl and shift | 13:10 |

| Jasonn | it was | 13:30 |
| Pici | tinel_RO: No, LTS releases are very 2 years, the previous being 8.04, then 10.04, and 12.04 will be next. | 13:30 |
| Pici | Jasonn: That says nothing about it being an LTS release. | 13:30 |
| quiescens | yeah, 8.04 was the lts, 9.04 wasn't, 10.04 is | 13:30 |

| HackNewton | hay please help me | 14:35 |
| seanbright | my / partition is on drive A (ubuntu 10.04), and i want to install a second instance to drive B | 14:35 |
| seanbright | popey: i don't have physical access to the machine, so i have to be able to configure everything and reboot and have it boot off the second drive | 14:36 |
| popey | seanbright: thats possible to do, yes | 14:36 |
| seanbright | am i begging for a headache? | 14:36 |
| popey | seanbright: it has the possibility to go wrong, yes | 14:36 |
| theadmin | seanbright: Uhm, do you have a GUI running of any sort? If so, you could use Virtualbox to install on a physical device. | 14:36 |
| skrite | seanbright: you could use a live cd and use dd | 14:36 |
| seanbright | i'm just lazy and don't want to drive to the data center | 14:36 |
| seanbright | theadmin: no GUI | 14:37 |
| skrite | seanbright: by the way is your name sean bright? because my name is shawn bright | 14:37 |
| seanbright | my name is sean bright, yes. | 14:37 |
| theadmin | seanbright: Gah, sounds complicated... I think you need to use "debootstrap" (install from the repos) and then chroot around | 14:37 |
| seanbright | sup cuz? | 14:37 |
| seanbright | :-) | 14:37 |

| ubottu | skrite and seanbright: #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! | 14:39 |
| skrite | anyway, you can boot into a live cd and use dd to copy one drive to the other. | 14:40 |
| Syco54645_work | skrite: you find that guide? | 14:42 |
| theadmin | seanbright: I think you can use "debootstrap" to use repositories in order to create a basic chrootable Ubuntu setup. | 14:43 |

| auronandace | mersault: you could try pidgin instead of empathy | 16:02 |
| Guest65510 | !help | 16:02 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:02 |
| whoever11 | any idea why vsftpd would also refuse localhost connections ? | 16:02 |
| mersault | auronandace, I'm aware that there are other options. I just find it odd that the default client, and the client with the most integration, isn't working for me | 16:02 |
| Combatjuan | Is there some kind of command line program I can use to compare datetimes? For example to check and see if the difference between the 'date' command and the modified date of a file is greater than N hours? | 16:03 |
| auronandace | mersault: sorry, i've never used empathy so i was just offering something that works for me | 16:03 |
| mersault | Combatjuan, you mean 'ls -l'? or find -mtime | 16:03 |
| mersault | auronandace, no worries, thanks anyway. | 16:04 |
| Combatjuan | mersault: Well, perhaps that was a bad example. Neither of the dates I actually need to compare is a property of a file. | 16:04 |
| ubuntu_ | if i have no interested in unity, should i still install 11.4? | 16:05 |
| Combatjuan | In practice I have the output of two dates (which I can use sed to transform into an arbitrary format) and I need a program that can compare them and give meaningful output. I could write such a program in perl or python but I wonder if one already exists. (I like to use existing tools when possible.) | 16:05 |
| auronandace | ubuntu_: you could use xubuntu (xfce) | 16:05 |
| ubuntu_ | auronandace, na, i just want good ol gnome w compiz | 16:06 |
| mersault | Combatjuan, I imagine awk could do that for you | 16:06 |
| auronandace | ubuntu_: bear in mind that from 11.10 onwards gnome3 will replace gnome2 | 16:06 |
| Combatjuan | mersault: Does it have some kind of 'datetime' type on which it can perform operations? A quick search of the man page isn't giving me anything. | 16:07 |
| TrueColors | Is floodbot going out of control? | 16:07 |
| ubuntu_ | auronandace, whats that mean...didnt realize there ws gnome3? does it interfear with compiz like unity does? | 16:07 |
| auronandace | ubuntu_: gnome2 is being depreciated, the gnome developers are now only focusing on gnome3 | 16:08 |
| ubuntu_ | auronandace, thats does it have the same issues when you change compiz settings as when running unity? | 16:08 |
| TrueColors | How do you update gnome... can it be done inside ubuntu? | 16:08 |
| auronandace | ubuntu_: you'll have to try it out, it is difficult to describe the differences | 16:09 |
| Combatjuan | mersault: It looks like I can use the 'date' command to transform from a date string into the number of seconds since the epoch which makes it just an integer. I can use awk on that pretty easily. Good idea. | 16:09 |
| mersault | Combatjuan, no problem. | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: there is an unsupported fork called 'mate' but i suggest you switch to xfce if gnome3 isn't to your tastes | 16:09 |
| ubuntu_ | auronandace, ok so just use 11.4 to assimulate to the new gnome then? hows it run with compiz if im not using the unity desktop, instead ill just use the gnome one...but hows it runnin with compiz, last time i tried it and attempted to change a settting (on the gnome desktop) all heck broke out | 16:11 |
| auronandace | ubuntu_: i don't use gnome2 or 3 so i can't help you, i use xfce | 16:11 |
| auronandace | ubuntu_: but in general i find compiz can be buggy no matter what desktop you run it on | 16:12 |
| ubuntu_ | anyone using gnome on 11.4, is there any issues with compiz? or was that all fixed? (i dont care about unity not gonna use it) | 16:12 |
| ubuntu_ | auronandace, ive tried em all except the one you mentioned earlier. even diff dist like mint, deb. i think ubuntu10 is stronger than them all...but then they messed it up with unity... | 16:14 |
| stillParsnip | Ubuntu_: trying mint to try a different distro isn't trying much different. They even use the same repos | 16:15 |
| ubuntu_ | idk if anyone realizes this. but using the search function to launch programs is not efficient, clicking on a icon is. 1 or 2 clicks v s typing parts of words, finding the right one, then ..you still have 2 click on the right one.. unity=useless, gnomenu is better, runs better, and can be customized as far as you want it | 16:17 |
| ct529 | are there packages to install the latest version of eclipse on ubuntu? | 16:18 |
| auronandace | ubuntu_: you don't have to use unity if you don't want to | 16:18 |

| TrueColors | about the search bar, where is it in classic ? | 16:19 |
| zozoR | Hi! after a hard reset, i havent got any sound. i've been resetting a few times and it still has not come back. lshw tells me that multimedia is UNCLAIMED. But my soundcard is still working as i checked with a live cd where the sound worked. | 16:19 |
| TrueColors | have you tried installing the driver if there is one available? | 16:20 |
| TrueColors | just incase ubuntu did't pick it up | 16:20 |
| zozoR | it worked fine before the hard reset | 16:20 |
| auronandace | ubuntu_: if you know the specific issues you can search the bug tracker to see if they are fixed | 16:20 |
| ubuntu_ | auronandace, good idea ...i know exactly which ones burned me last time...ill go check...didnt even think about bug tracking | 16:21 |
| zozoR | i've modprobed every snd-* driver i could find and it still wont work :( | 16:21 |

| ubuntu_ | in my opinion, dubmest idea ive seen in a while - putting the window menu on the panel or whatever you call that thing attached to unity...just not smart at all | 16:25 |
| `Abhijit | ruble | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu_: some love it, some hate it | 16:26 |
| auronandace | ubuntu_: you've made your opinion known, i don't like unity either but please stop complaining, especially if you aren't going to use it | 16:27 |
| MonkeyDust | ubuntu_: you're free to not use Unity | 16:27 |
| ubuntu_ | if ubuntu wants to make a smart move, re-design to be like win 8, (i know windows- bluck. fooey whatever) but the smartness in is,,,more regular computer useres would be interested in it (you know the ones that cant fix stuff ) | 16:28 |

| ubuntu_ | ActionParsnip, omg i know right? but the general population will prob love it. and the way it seems to have switched the desktop with the start button almost like the programs you "could" run are more important then the ones you are using | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu_: all i can say is switch to xfce and it will smell like gnome2. You can even run your gnome apps without issue | 16:34 |

| Kre10s | I can pgrep xchat... whats the correct way to autostart this? | 16:45 |
| An_Ony_Moose | Kre10s: how are you doing it now? | 16:46 |
| ubuntu_ | Kre10s, are you using the startup manager to do it...try adding a pause b4 it launches. it may be launcing befor the panel or somehting like that | 16:46 |
| arvin_sew_khesha | woody: what do u want to do exactl with port-forwarding | 16:47 |
| Kre10s | I used the gui... system->preferences->startup applications | 16:47 |
| ubuntu_ | Kre10s, youll have to make a script and launch the script. i think it would be "wait 10" or something...its been a while | 16:47 |
| An_Ony_Moose | Kre10s: make a text file. Put in it the following #!/bin/bash <new line>sleep 10<new line> xchat | 16:47 |
| ubuntu_ | An_Ony_Moose, oh yeah that was it...sleep thanks for re-learning me at one ;) | 16:48 |
| An_Ony_Moose | Kre10s: save it as delayed_xchat.sh or something, make it executable, then add bash /path/to/delayed_xchat.sh as a startup application | 16:48 |
| Kre10s | An_Ony_Moose, where should i save the file? ~/bin or .... | 16:49 |
| An_Ony_Moose | Kre10s: that really doesn't matter | 16:49 |
| An_Ony_Moose | Kre10s: though yes, ~/bin would be the most common place to put that kind of script | 16:49 |
| ubuntu_ | Kre10s, what i would do is put it on the desktop for now, make sure it works as desired, then move it to the bin or home directory | 16:50 |
| Kre10s | ubuntu_, is the PATH the same for the autostart thingy as it is for me? | 16:53 |
| Kre10s | or do i have to put in an absolute path? | 16:54 |
| Kre10s | should i add ~ | 16:54 |
| _cb | ubuntu_ there is a difference between price and cost. Because of support, equipment compatibility, software used,etc,etc windows will cost less than linux. Linux is making inroads but can't oust MS yet. | 16:55 |

| tp43 | How do determine if this is a software issue or hardware issue | 17:10 |
| tp43 | Actually I think it may be hardware | 17:10 |

| _cb | ikonia but one has to piece all this things together. You have to build the LDAP using OpenLDAp or project #389 then you have layer Kerberos on top of it and then make it work with SAMBA.

| LjL | gr44a: B, but try ##english for this kind of question | 17:38 |
| iceroot | gr44a: c) #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:38 |
| Ghostx562 | iceroot, whats safer/better? | 17:39 |
| Polah | Ghostx562: You'd need to enable it in your openssh config and suchlike, I couldn't tell you how though. | 17:39 |
| iceroot | Ghostx562: sftp | 17:39 |
| Pici | Polah: it should be enabled by default. | 17:39 |
| iceroot | Polah: its enabled by default | 17:39 |
| Polah | Ghostx562: SFTP is better but slower. FTP is completely unencrypted (including transmitted authentication information), SFTP is encrypted (so no broadcasting your login information) but may be a bit slower due to the encryption/decryption processes | 17:39 |
| whoever11 | im at a complete loss, files being sent to our FTP are only partially uploaded, a lot of times its getting there with 0 bytes, other times its fine | 17:40 |
| Polah | Pici, iceroot: Hm, didn't know that. Thanks | 17:40 |
| iceroot | Polah: slower? why? | 17:40 |
| Polah | iceroot: Encryption and decryption take time. Probably not a noticeable difference though. | 17:40 |
| Lancerb2 | Can I install packages like PHP and MySQL on a flash drive instead on my hard drive? | 17:40 |
| Ghostx562 | Polah, I'd rather have speed vs security | 17:40 |
| sunice | whoever11: sometime switching to active instead of passive ftp helps. | 17:40 |
| Ghostx562 | Its a server i have here at home for personal use | 17:41 |
| iceroot | Polah: the file-transfer is not slower because of encryption | 17:41 |
| Polah | Ghostx562: Like I said, the difference probably wouldn't be noticeable. If it's only local and cannot be accessed externally then you could just use regular FTP. | 17:42 |
| Tecuhtli | I inadvertently pressed and hold CTRL key for about 5 secs and a gnome window appeared asking something. I didn't pay attention to it since I knew it was as consequence of holding CTRL pressed so I pressed cancel. Then after that my keyboard is not responding to any key. Any ideas to get it back working? | 17:42 |
| Ghostx562 | Polah, Would I be needing ftp access for this? https://www.vbulletin.com/ | 17:43 |
| iceroot | Ghostx562: use sftp, its installed by default when you have openssh-server. you dont have to put users in ftp group an so on. there is no single reason to use ftp | 17:43 |
| GTRsdk | is btrfs slower than ext4? if so, how do I go back to ext4 easily? | 17:43 |
| iceroot | GTRsdk: formating the disc | 17:43 |
| Polah | iceroot: Yes, actually. The file transfer would be the sam, what I mean is that it would take longer to prepare data for transmission and after receipt and would use more processor time. | 17:43 |
| Polah | Ghostx562: Yes, although if you're setting up a forum then I guess people will be able to access it externally? Certainly use SFTP in that case. | 17:44 |
| nuclearworm | hello, is it possible to watch a live tv stream on an ubuntu media player? | 17:44 |
| GTRsdk | iceroot: I think that might be the only way, but is btrfs slowing the other computer down? this one has ext4 and is faster (when it is not supposed to be) and the btrfs does not go fast when booting | 17:44 |
| iceroot | Polah: please stop this "sftp is slower then ftp" | 17:44 |
| Danielpk | How i can increase the speed of nslookup? | 17:44 |
| Polah | iceroot: I already clarified what I mean. File transfer is not slower, but more processing time is used to encrypt and decrypt the stream. | 17:44 |
| Ghostx562 | Polah, They will only be accessing the forum, I don't think they will have access to the FTP | 17:44 |
| iceroot | GTRsdk: first of all, btrfs is not stable, so i would not use that on a stable system | 17:44 |
| iceroot | Polah: lets use telnet instead of ssh, because telnet is faster | 17:45 |
| GTRsdk | iceroot: ah okay. | 17:45 |
| istevenmon | what does backtrack 5R1 KDE uses for sound? alsa, pulse, oss ? | 17:45 |
| Ghostx562 | Also, Filezilla FTP won't connect using the local IP | 17:45 |
| Polah | Ghostx562: Still, with external access that means anyone that does manage to get your FTP login information would be able to use it to access your system | 17:45 |
| iceroot | !backtrack | istevenmon | 17:45 |
| ubottu | istevenmon: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 17:45 |
| Ghostx562 | Ok, so how would I enable It? | 17:46 |
| sunice | Ghostx562: if this is a home system why are you not just using sftp built into ssh? | 17:46 |
| iceroot | nuclearworm: sure | 17:46 |
| Ghostx562 | Sunice, I've no idea how to access it using FileZilla | 17:46 |
| iceroot | Ghostx562: tell filezilla to use sftp instead of ftp, thats all | 17:46 |
| sunice | Ghostx562: SCP would be my choice. no configuration easy to use. | 17:46 |
| vuln | Hello there. What would be the required hardware to run Unity? | 17:46 |
| === Dion is now known as Guest50936 | ||
| Polah | Ghostx562: Apparently it's enabled by default. You'll need to connect using SFTP instead of FTP with filezilla | 17:47 |
| iceroot | Ghostx562: there should be an option in the connection window about the protocol, fltp, ftps, sftp | 17:47 |
| Danielpk | No1? | 17:47 |
| nuclearworm | iceroot , how do i do that? | 17:47 |
| iceroot | nuclearworm: depending what format the stream is | 17:47 |
| Polah | iceroot: I already said that if it's externally accessible to use SFTP. He said it was for personal use so I suggested that using regular FTP would be okay until he clarified further. I'm not saying using unencrypted transmission is better than encrypted, I'm just saying it does use more processing time. | 17:47 |
| Ghostx562 | Ok I'm looking | 17:47 |
| iceroot | Polah: its stupid to discuss that ssh is using more cpu then not using ssh | 17:48 |
| nuclearworm | iceroot, how do iknow that? | 17:48 |
| iceroot | Polah: you know modern cpus? | 17:48 |
| iceroot | Polah: modern == < i386 | 17:48 |
| xbuntu | could i still download and use xubuntu 9.04? | 17:49 |
| iceroot | Polah: != :) | 17:49 |
| Tecuhtli | repeating... I inadvertently pressed and hold CTRL key for about 5 secs and a gnome window appeared asking something. I didn't pay attention to it since I knew it was as consequence of holding CTRL pressed so I pressed cancel. Then after that my keyboard is not responding to any key. Any ideas to get it back working? | 17:49 |
| Asad2005 | i have installed airplay plugin for totem and enabled the it from plugin menu, started totem but still my iphone doesnot see it i.e. no airplay icon what elso do i need to do ? | 17:49 |
| Polah | iceroot: But that's assuming a modern processor is in use, it's an unnoticeable difference, I'm just saying that it's there | 17:49 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: what should be the reason to use it? also if i am correct its out of support | 17:49 |
| iceroot | Polah: stop this stupid discussion please | 17:49 |
| jrib | Tecuhtli: try system -> preferences -> keyboard... look for accessibility options | 17:49 |
| xbuntu | Support as in updates? | 17:49 |
| iceroot | !9.04 | 17:50 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 17:50 |
| xbuntu | I know | 17:50 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: no security updates for 9.04 anymore | 17:50 |
| xbuntu | But 9.04 seems to run faster then 11.04 | 17:50 |
| Tecuhtli | jrib: already did but found nothing obvious | 17:50 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: depending on the desktop you are using | 17:50 |
| xbuntu | well | 17:50 |
| xbuntu | msi laptop | 17:50 |
| vuln | I just installed Ubuntu with the username XYZ but I actually wanted XY. How can I change that? | 17:50 |
| xbuntu | intel core i7 | 17:50 |
| xbuntu | 8 logical cores | 17:51 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: desktop = unity, gnome2, xfce4, lxde | 17:51 |
| xbuntu | so | 17:51 |
| xbuntu | o | 17:51 |
| xbuntu | rofl | 17:51 |
| xbuntu | gnome2 i believe | 17:51 |
| jrib | Tecuhtli: does the issue persist after restarting X? | 17:51 |
| xbuntu | someone was tellin me i could try a different kernal | 17:51 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: high load on the system? | 17:51 |
| xbuntu | to fix some issues and speed things up | 17:51 |
| Polah | Ghostx562: I know if you add the server through File > Site Manager that you can specify to use SFTP to connect through that, but I don't know about getting sites on the quickconnect bar to use SFTP by default | 17:52 |
| Tecuhtli | jrib: well... I can log in as usual but once my sessions starts my keyboard no longer works | 17:52 |
| xbuntu | well it shouldnt be to loaded up i have like 500 gb free for this.. and 6 gb ram | 17:52 |
| xbuntu | its only using like 400 mb of mem.. | 17:52 |
| xbuntu | not even a gig.. | 17:52 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: high cpu load? | 17:52 |
| Tecuhtli | jrib: and yes, it persists after rebooting the entire system | 17:52 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: "top" will tell you | 17:52 |
| xbuntu | i have 4 cores 8 logical cores | 17:52 |
| nuclearworm | iceroot, what player do you recommend to watch live streams? | 17:53 |
| iceroot | nuclearworm: vlc | 17:53 |
| xbuntu | its only at 1 percent | 17:53 |
| xbuntu | and 2 | 17:53 |
| xbuntu | never goes past 3 or 2 or 1 | 17:53 |
| przemo_rex | hi there | 17:53 |
| xbuntu | and for mems its using 0.7 % | 17:53 |
| xbuntu | so idk?.. why its being so slow.. | 17:54 |
| jrib | Tecuhtli: is the issue present if you login as a new user? | 17:54 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: load average: 0.02, 0.04, 0.11 that line is important | 17:54 |
| nuclearworm | which is the latest official ubuntu release? | 17:54 |
| Ghostx562 | iceroot, got it working and connected. How do i create a folder in the HOME directory so that I can upload the forum software? | 17:54 |
| rww | sunice: Please stop abusing your return key. It's irritating both our floodbots and our ops, and is not something I'd recommend. | 17:54 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: if the first value is higher then your cpu-cores, the system is overloaded | 17:54 |
| vuln | Is there an easy way to rename my username and homedir? | 17:54 |
| rww | ... stupid tab compliete. | 17:54 |
| rww | sunice: mistab, sorry. | 17:54 |
| iceroot | Ghostx562: mkdir ~/foldername on the shell | 17:54 |
| rww | xbuntu: Let's try that again: Please stop abusing your return key. It's irritating both our floodbots and our ops, and is not something I'd recommend. | 17:54 |
| Ghostx562 | iceroot, can do it using putty? | 17:55 |
| iceroot | Ghostx562: yes | 17:55 |
| iceroot | Ghostx562: also you can do it with sftp | 17:55 |
| ark_ | HI | 17:55 |
| xbuntu | well how do i know if my system is overloaded? | 17:55 |
| Lancerb2 | Can I install packages like PHP and MySQL on a flash drive instead on my hard drive in Ubuntu 11.04? | 17:55 |
| xbuntu | it says load average 0.53 | 17:55 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: i told you | 17:55 |
| przemo_rex | I've got some difficoulties with matching pattern with regexp. Is there anybody who could help me out? | 17:55 |
| ark_ | Any techincal assistance available right now ? | 17:55 |
| iceroot | xbuntu: that means (easily spoken) that one core is used 50% the others are not used | 17:56 |
| iceroot | !ask | ark_ | 17:56 |
| ubottu | ark_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:56 |

| Ghostx562 | iceroot, its ghostx562.co.cc | 18:01 |
| konaya | iceroot, I've always wondered about that, actually. Whyever not? Will things actually die if you do, or is it just really bad were you to make a typo in there? | 18:01 |
| iceroot | Ghostx562: ask your domain-provider | 18:01 |
| Ghostx562 | iceroot, will do | 18:02 |

| Lancerb2 | Ok, its that I'm running Ubuntu using a USB stick since my hard drive does not work. So there is no way to use a clean USB stick to store system settings? | 18:04 |
| iceroot | Lancerb2: what to you mean with "store"? make a backup on it? | 18:04 |
| iceroot | Lancerb2: install ubuntu on it? | 18:04 |

| Lancerb2 | Ok, so I just need to backup the /etc/ director, right? | 18:07 |
| iceroot | Lancerb2: and ~/.* which is also containg configs | 18:08 |
| iceroot | !backup | Lancerb2 | 18:08 |
| ubottu | Lancerb2: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 18:08 |
| iceroot | Lancerb2: normally the ~/.* is more important then /etc/ because normally you dont change something big in /etc/ ~/ means /home/username | 18:09 |
| Lancerb2 | iceroot: Alright thanks. | 18:10 |
| sunice | Lancerb2: with the size of /etc/ being so small I always back it up. | 18:10 |

| edwardthefma | yawn | 18:30 |
| conntrack- | Hallo, what is the difference between upstream and downstream? | 18:30 |
| Chheapshot | Tixos: maybe try running some sort of gpu stress test and see what happens | 18:30 |
| ark_ | HI , anyone know to resolve the booting error which i experienced . the error is mount: mounting / dev/ loop0 on // filesystem.squashfg failed | 18:30 |
| fbc_mx | conntrack-, Upstream is usually what you are sending someone else. Downstream is what is coming back to you. | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ark_: again, Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 18:31 |
| conntrack- | Ah right yeah. Now I get it | 18:31 |
| ark_ | yes | 18:31 |
| Chheapshot | Tixos: or try updating / downgrading drivers | 18:31 |

| nimesh | connect freenode.net | 18:32 |
| fbc_mx | conntrack-, NP.. | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ark_: irrelevant, did you test the ISO so you know it was complete and consistent? | 18:32 |
| Tixos | how can i remove the drivers ? | 18:32 |
| conntrack- | Guess I call them myself | 18:32 |
| ark_ | iso test means , pl explain | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | ark_ I thought you said you DID test it..so why are you asking that?? | 18:33 |
| ubottu | ark_ I thought you said you DID test it..so why are you asking that??: 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 | 18:33 |

| fbc_mx | edwardthefma, please remember that ownership is important. You might have to chown the files to the apache user:group for them to work properly. | 18:38 |
| qin | edwardthefma: man chmod, man chown. Who own /var/www right now? | 18:38 |
| qin | *owns | 18:39 |
| fbc_mx | edwardthefma, you will have to run the file manager as root, to copy the files, then chwon the files to the apache user. | 18:39 |
| escott | !permissions | edwardthefma | 18:39 |
| ubottu | edwardthefma: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 18:39 |
| qin | fbc_mx: Is there any practical aspect of having /var/www owned by root? | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | qin: security | 18:40 |
| fbc_mx | qin, none at all.. it will prevent the apache user/process from accessing the files if it doesn not have elevated priviledges. | 18:40 |
| Mac_Weber | how to display the pressed keycode on ubuntu 10.04? apt-get cant find showkey | 18:41 |

| fbc_mx | qin, I'm most cases where I'm the only one accessing the box, I might even change ownership to nobody:nogroup <preparing for the deluge of security people about to chastise me> | 18:42 |

| escott | qin, asking the importance of who owns a file is usually the wrong question. you want to ask is the relevant process in u g or o, and what are the permissions for u g o respectively | 18:44 |
| ark_ | the machine calculated md5sum not matching with the ubunto site list | 18:44 |
| Chheapshot | fbc_mx: Seems there are others with similar problems with the gnome applets. Something to do with loading them to slowly on startup. But u could killall nautilus, so u dont have to relog everytime. | 18:44 |
| fbc_mx | ark_, then you got a corrupted image.. download it again. | 18:45 |
| anonissimus | escott: I turned the mic up but still | 18:45 |
| escott | qin, so if root:root owns the folder and the process is running as apache its the same thing as if joe:joe owned the folder. in either case apache is controlled by "other" access to the folder | 18:45 |
| Ghostx562 | Hi question, where would i upload files to so that LAMP server can pick it up | 18:45 |
| fbc_mx | Chheapshot, thanks.. you da man.. i hadn't considered that. | 18:45 |
| edwardthefma | <escott> thx | 18:45 |
| ark_ | but i downloaed the image file 3 time freshly | 18:45 |
| Chheapshot | fbc_mx: kill-all gnome-panel | 18:45 |
| ark_ | this means the ubunto site has the corrupted one always | 18:46 |
| edwardthefma | sudo chmod 777 /var/www | 18:46 |
| fbc_mx | ark_ try a different mirror | 18:46 |
| edwardthefma | XD | 18:46 |
| Chheapshot | fbc_mx: i guess... not sure not running ubuntu atm | 18:46 |
| Ghostx562 | ark_ burn at the slowest speed possible | 18:46 |
| ark_ | fine , can you send me the link of that mirror | 18:46 |
| fbc_mx | Chheapshot, thanks I'm pretty savvy to figure out the correct command line.. | 18:46 |
| ark_ | ya slow speed only did , but not working | 18:46 |
| fbc_mx | ark_, use the bittorrent download. | 18:47 |
| escott | edwardthefma, in doing that chmod you gave any user of your system the ability to serve any files off your webserver | 18:47 |
| Chheapshot | fbc_mx: wonder if there is a way to delay the startup of certain applets, so they all will load properly | 18:47 |
| edwardthefma | escott im the only user on this system | 18:47 |
| escott | edwardthefma, so if they hack your php script for your webserver they can turn it into their own personal filesharing system | 18:48 |
| ark_ | ok , ubunto site downloading type is generally not recommended , is it so ? | 18:48 |
| fbc_mx | Chheapshot, I guess you can remove them from the startup script and make your own script that executes after GDM logs you in. | 18:48 |
| iceroot | is there a ressource which explains what the strings in a package means? e.g. .../zsh_4.3.11-4ubuntu2.is.3ubuntu2_i386.deb what does ubuntu2 mean and so on | 18:48 |
| escott | edwardthefma, and they have a beachhead to upload programs with which try and take control of your system | 18:48 |
| Jordan_U | ark_: What md5sum was calculated? What mirror? Was it the same md5sum all three times? | 18:48 |
| qin | escott: I know who owns (by default) /var/www, asked "who owns it" to know if he had a clue what owner and onership is, and chown it in the end. | 18:48 |
| Ghostx562 | anyone know where to upload the VB files to on ubuntu server? | 18:48 |
| Jordan_U | ark_: Downloading from ubuntu.com is fine. | 18:49 |
| Ghostx562 | Vbulletin | 18:49 |
| edwardthefma | ill shuld be safe as longe as i keep a eye on who uses the pc <escott> | 18:49 |
| ark_ | the md5sum calculation stats with 6C58921024CB3ABD..... | 18:49 |
| usuario_ | g | 18:49 |
| escott | edwardthefma, a more controlled way to accomplish this is to put yourself in the group that can modify /var/www and then give that group write access to the folder | 18:49 |
| pythonsnake | anyone know a _good_ GUI firewall for Kubuntu ? | 18:49 |
| fbc_mx | ark_, bittorent software checks the hash of every segment it downloads, so I consider it safer that just a standard http download. | 18:49 |
| edwardthefma | ok thx | 18:49 |
| edwardthefma | <escott> | 18:50 |

| ubottu | 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. | 18:57 |
| pythonsnake | for kde | 18:57 |
| pythonsnake | Guarddog is out of date | 18:57 |

| qin | easylancer: Ubuntu uses upstart, why do you need runit? | 19:11 |
| rusty149 | nuclearworm: Are you sure it is the stream and not a web page. | 19:12 |
| nuclearworm | rusty149, it s a web page that has a live stream | 19:13 |
| pdtpatrick | QUestion .. why does firefox keep opening .wav files in Movie Player even though the applications are linked to VLC.. it also keeps saying the file is streamAudio.do | 19:13 |
| rusty149 | nuclearworm: There should be a separate url for the stream | 19:13 |

| pythonsnake | fVckingmania: :-) thanks | 19:21 |
| viktyr_korimir | pythonsnake: Five by five. | 19:21 |
| pythonsnake | xbuntu: there's no best kernel for i7 | 19:21 |
| pythonsnake | AFAIK | 19:21 |
| xbuntu | well i searched on google and i will debate that | 19:21 |
| pythonsnake | xbuntu: you may want to use LTS kernel | 19:21 |
| xbuntu | some say that some linux dont detect the proc | 19:22 |
| OerHeks | we don't day that :-) | 19:22 |

| xbuntu | whats the diff between lts? | 19:23 |
| xbuntu | and the 32 bit desktop ubuntu that i have | 19:23 |
| OerHeks | !lts | 19:24 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 19:24 |
| nuclearworm | rusty149, http://www.myeasytv.com/watch/abc-classic-films | 19:24 |

| xbuntu | im running 32 | 19:24 |
| xbuntu | but would 64 be better? | 19:24 |
| pythonsnake | xbuntu: yes | 19:25 |
| OerHeks | xbuntu, depends of the amount of memory | 19:25 |
| xbuntu | 6 gb | 19:25 |
| pythonsnake | xbuntu: absolutely | 19:26 |
| pythonsnake | 64bit | 19:26 |

| Thing911 | I have a weird problem with my thinpad d510 (with 11.04 64bit) and trendet tew-691 wireless router.. I can connect to the wifi (unecrypted), but i can't seem to get internet connection which is weird since it works in windows and in ubuntu when I connect to other wifis. So is it a driver problem or something with my router? | 19:27 |
| boskee | I tried to unplug my keyboard to see if that's what causes a problem, but it still sends those events | 19:28 |
| nuclearworm | how do i find a stream s url? is there sodtware to do that? | 19:28 |
| Escherial | ok, i realize this is kind of a silly question, but is there anything like the gimp, but with a better UI? | 19:28 |
| tomodachi | Thing911: try changing the security on your router from wpa to wep, yes its a driver issue.. | 19:29 |
| tomodachi | Thing911: you might get "worse" security but at least you will have internet | 19:29 |
| boskee | Escherial: Adobe Photoshop | 19:29 |
| Escherial | er...or more specifically, is there some way to make the toolbars non-floating? they get lost a lot, which is quite annoying | 19:29 |
| Escherial | boskee: i wish :x | 19:29 |
| Thing911 | But currenlty its unprotected and it still doesnt work, tomodachi | 19:29 |
| boskee | Escherial: I think that GIMP has a one-window mode now | 19:29 |
| boskee | Single window* | 19:30 |
| Jordan_U | Escherial: What are you looking to do? For vector graphics there is Inkscape, but that won't help much with Photo editing. | 19:30 |
| Escherial | boskee: really? :D perhaps i'm using an old version. upgrade time! | 19:30 |
| boskee | Escherial: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?p=19301 | 19:31 |
| Escherial | just regular photo editing. basically, i find that the menu options tend to disappear inexplicably with unity's global menu bar, and the toolbars get lost | 19:31 |
| tiago_ | I remove the libgcrypt package which had some dependencies which were also removed. Now i only have access to the CLI and have managed to mount the iso of ubuntu (i don't own a cd). I can't access the internet, so I can't get the missing packages. Is it possible to retrieve them from the mounted iso? | 19:31 |
| Escherial | but single window mode would certainly solve that | 19:31 |
| Escherial | boskee: aha, awesome :D thank you! | 19:31 |

| Escherial | boskee: i'm a bit of an ubuntu newbie...is the only way to install the unstable version from source? | 19:33 |
| Escherial | should i uninstall my existing installation of the gimp before i install 2.7.3? | 19:33 |
| b3ta | Drops: what sound system are you using? | 19:33 |
| boskee | Escherial: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn | 19:34 |
| b3ta | Escherial, apt-get should take care of removing/updating packages | 19:34 |
| boskee | Escherial: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:34 |
| ssfdre38 | iceroot, you told one of my friends that he cant install packages on the thumbdrive i just want to say that you were wrong cause i have LAMP fully running with Chromium after a full shutdown and reboot | 19:34 |
| DropsOfSerenity | b3ta, pulseaudio | 19:34 |
| boskee | Escherial: that should upgrade it to the latest version | 19:34 |
| DropsOfSerenity | and yes i've tried pavucontrol | 19:34 |
| b3ta | DropsOfSerenity, give me a second. I had an issue with some games and my skype doing that. let me check my nots | 19:34 |
| Escherial | boskee: much thanks :3 that probably would've taken me a good hour or two to figure out | 19:34 |
| DropsOfSerenity | cool thanks b3ta | 19:35 |
| iceroot | ssfdre38: you cant install packages to other directorys when using the package-manager | 19:35 |

| edwardpatch | hi | 19:37 |
| Escherial | boskee: hmm :\ randomly, or persistently? you've tried a different keyboard, i assume? and does it only do it when you boot into the gui? | 19:37 |
| Escherial | boskee: aside from that, no idea how to fix that | 19:37 |
| nuclearworm | how do i find a stream s url? is there sodtware to do that? | 19:37 |
| boskee | Escherial: randomly, it's not related to keyboard as unplugging it doesn't fix it | 19:38 |
| b3ta | nuclearworm, what kind of stream? | 19:38 |
| Younder | boskee, sounds like a dodgy keyboard | 19:38 |
| DropsOfSerenity | b3ta, is this still applicable to 11.10? | 19:38 |
| boskee | Younder: changing keyboard or unplugging the one I have doesn't solve the problem | 19:38 |
| nuclearworm | b3ta , a video one | 19:38 |
| b3ta | i haven't personally tested it on 11.10. i utilized that on 10.04 | 19:38 |
| boskee | Younder: And before it starts I get a black rectangle at the bottom of the screen | 19:39 |
| Escherial | boskee: are you using a laptop? if so, it might be the scrolling on the trackpad rather than the keyboard? | 19:39 |
| boskee | Escherial: desktop | 19:39 |
| Escherial | ah, hrm :\ | 19:39 |
| b3ta | nuclearworm, you can use vlc to play the streams, but there's a plethora of streams available online. are you looking for one specifically? | 19:39 |
| Younder | boskee, Do you have a USB keyboard ? | 19:39 |
| b3ta | is 11.10 out of alpha/beta yet? | 19:39 |
| boskee | Younder: Yup | 19:39 |
| DropsOfSerenity | b3ta, beta 2 | 19:39 |
| b3ta | ahhh | 19:40 |
| b3ta | have you tried to replicate on a previous version? | 19:40 |
| viktyr_korimir | In Firefox, is there an option to disallow certain pages to play sounds, like there is for images? | 19:40 |
| nuclearworm | b3ta , let suppose a web page with extension html that has a tv video stream. how to know the url from that tv video stream? | 19:40 |
| Younder | boskee, That is very strange.. You are to my knowlege the first to have reported a problem of this nature. | 19:40 |
| boskee | Younder: It's definitely a KEY_UP event | 19:41 |
| boskee | Younder: but it happens in all windows, not only the active one | 19:41 |
| tasslehoff | my system is display-bewildered after xorg.conf playing and a couple of dist-upgrades. how can I regenerate the x-config a fresh install would have given me? | 19:41 |
| b3ta | nuclearworm, usually you can view source. if it's a stream embedded in the html it'll usually have a media player <OBJECT> in there somewhere | 19:41 |
| DropsOfSerenity | b3ta, I'm thinking it might be something to do with 64 bit, since it's only skype which is a 32 bit application. | 19:41 |
| b3ta | but that's previous to html5 | 19:41 |
| boskee | So if I now open guake, I can see that my command history has scrolled to what I used 5 hours ago | 19:41 |
| Younder | boskee, sounds like a driver problem | 19:41 |
| tasslehoff | emptying out xorg.conf doesn't do it, so I suspect some .d-directories have some stuff I need to get rid of | 19:41 |
| boskee | Younder: Unplugging keyboard and mouse doesn't fix anything | 19:42 |
| Younder | boskee, what is your PC brand name and version | 19:42 |
| nuclearworm | b3ta , what words should i find on source? | 19:42 |
| b3ta | DropsOfSerenity, have you tried to temporarily remove pulseaudio and just use alsa? | 19:42 |

| Tectu | hi. Quick Question: Can i use ubuntu server on a machine with two CPUs? will they both be used? | 19:42 |
| Kindari | Hey guys, getting an error on a machine (both after booting and afte restarting networking) for SIOCADDRT: File exists | 19:42 |
| b3ta | nuclearworm, look for an <OBJECT> or 'http' string usually | 19:43 |
| iceroot | Tectu: yes | 19:43 |
| DropsOfSerenity | b3ta, haven't yet, will defintely try soon if I don't get this working, normally pulseaudio works like a charm. | 19:43 |
| wcchandler | Tectu: if the BIOS will see them then yeah | 19:43 |
| boskee | Younder: It didn't happen on Natty, only happens on Oneiric | 19:43 |
| Younder | boskee, NO, the pc name | 19:43 |
| b3ta | DropsOfSerenity, you're running it on a beta :) | 19:43 |
| b3ta | there are always quirks | 19:43 |
| boskee | Younder: What do you mean? I built it myself | 19:43 |
| Tectu | thank you iceroot and wcchandler | 19:43 |
| b3ta | Tectu, make sure you're using an SMP kernel tho | 19:44 |
| DropsOfSerenity | b3ta, surprisingly this is the only quirk I've been having. | 19:44 |
| Younder | boskee, ahh, that explains why I haven't hear of it before | 19:44 |
| Tectu | b3ta: is that one on a regular ubuntu server 10.04? | 19:44 |
| wcchandler | Tectu: you can verify the OS sees them by `grep processor /proc/cpuinfo` and it should show 0 and 1 -- meaning 2 | 19:44 |
| boskee | Younder: I think it has something to do with xorg | 19:44 |
| b3ta | Tectu, it should be. if you liveboot, 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and if you see more you're good | 19:44 |
| Tectu | jep, i have 0 and 1 :) | 19:44 |
| b3ta | dual core! | 19:44 |
| boskee | Younder: It all started after I lost my original xorg.conf | 19:44 |
| b3ta | you're set | 19:44 |
| boskee | What is ^[[A code? | 19:45 |
| Tectu | b3ta: why dualcore? do you mean that that is good or not? i guess he uses now both CPUs, right? | 19:45 |
| Younder | boskee, The best I can do is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config | 19:46 |

| Tectu | b3ta: yeah, but the ports are a thing for the NAT, not for ubuntu server, right? | 19:49 |
| b3ta | Tectu, is this an internal server or an outward facing one? | 19:49 |
| zastaph | is it because my authorized_keys is not on one line? | 19:50 |

| Atlantic777 | Hi! Is unity 2D available by default in 11.04 or I have to install it from a ppa? | 19:51 |
| b3ta | Tectu, if you have ssh available outside, make sure your /etc/ssh/sshd_config is locked down. if you use apache, make sure httpd.conf is locked down. update just those packages if those are the only ones being accessed. | 19:51 |
| Younder | boskee, run it and report process status | 19:52 |
| b3ta | Tectu, also, if you offer ssh I would make it jailed shell only | 19:52 |
| Tectu | Atlantic777: it's available in the standard repo apt-get install unity-2d | 19:52 |
| Atlantic777 | Tectu: but it's not installed, right? | 19:52 |
| Tectu | Atlantic777: right, that's why u need apt-get install unity-2d | 19:52 |

| jpds | b3ta: And what about security updates like http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1215-1/ ? | 19:52 |
| Prodego | b3ta: well its started with upstart, restarting the ssh service did not recreate the file | 19:53 |
| Atlantic777 | Tectu: after that I should have option/session in gdm? | 19:53 |
| jpds | b3ta: Which doesn't apply to a an external facing service but is still a security risk? | 19:53 |

| b3ta | anyone feel like they can help with the GLx question? On the local console, glxinfo prints out the pretty information, but when I do ssh -X (ip) and do a glxinfo, it says cannot connect to display, no glx extention install or fbuffer. | 19:57 |

| viktyr_korimir | After telling Firefox to use a specific application to deal with a certain file type, is there a way to make it stop asking every time I download a file of that type? | 19:58 |

| Gentoo64 | viktyr_korimir, have a look in the applications bit in the options | 19:59 |
| boskee | Younder: Is there any way to rest X to defaults and let it rebuild its config from scratch? | 19:59 |

| openbees | vuln:: try this "sudo update-java-alternatives -1" this will give u installed versions of java and their default folders | 20:07 |

| Otend | I need a teeny bit of help regarding installation with a question that is probably really stupid, | 20:15 |
| Gentoo64 | Otend, ask | 20:15 |
| Otend | .* | 20:15 |
| Otend | Simply put, the install went smoothly... until it tried to reboot. It's hanging. | 20:15 |
| cojack | hello | 20:15 |
| Otend | It says the installation is finished and then failed hard at shutting down. Is it safe to hard shutdown? | 20:15 |
| openbees | vuln : then i think u should provide path of output's folder ...atleast try for this | 20:15 |
| boskee | Escherial: Can you try sudo apt-get install libbabl-0.0-0 | 20:16 |
| Kindari | Anyone know the correct way to bind to additional ipv6 addresses? I can do it one time using ip add inet 6 ... etc, but all methods I have tried for automaticly configuring when the network comes up have failed. | 20:16 |
| Gentoo64 | Otend, ahh a lot of people get that. i dont know... try the hard shutdown its the only thing you can do | 20:16 |
| Gentoo64 | it wont damage the hardware | 20:16 |
| guntbert | !u > openbees | 20:16 |

| cojack | the info in logs is they can not find a screens | 20:16 |
| Gentoo64 | it seems | 20:16 |
| openbees | guntbert : sorry | 20:17 |
| vuln | openbees: ok, ty. | 20:17 |
| Escherial | boskee: ah, just did apt-get install gimp, which seemed to fix the problem | 20:17 |

| zoned | what's the differences between root, admin, and suo? | 20:18 |
| zoned | sudo* | 20:18 |
| cojack | none | 20:18 |
| conntrack- | haha | 20:18 |
| conntrack- | anyone use arptables? | 20:19 |
| zoned | so why have all 3? do i put my 'dev' group under root access? | 20:19 |
| Gentoo64 | zoned, ubuntu has no root password hence the sudo use | 20:20 |
| tiago_ | I remove the libgcrypt package which had some dependencies which were also removed. Now i only have access to the CLI and have managed to mount the iso of ubuntu (i don't own a cd). I can't access the internet, so I can't get the missing packages. Is it possible to retrieve them from the mounted iso? | 20:20 |
| zoned | so nobody should have root access, and admin/sudo are the exact same? | 20:20 |
| openbees | Gentoo64,zoned : but you can set one by "sudo passwd" | 20:21 |
| Gentoo64 | i know | 20:21 |
| vuln | What do I need to do to my file to be run whenever I turn on the pc? throw it in /etc/init.d/ and give it +x permission? | 20:21 |

| Maarten | Gentoo64: sudo passwd root ;) | 20:21 |
| Gentoo64 | but you get told off for saying that in here | 20:21 |
| Gentoo64 | thanks for the info.... lol | 20:21 |
| openbees | Gentoo64 : so sorry for considering yo NOOB | 20:22 |
| openbees | YOU* | 20:22 |
| Gentoo64 | no its not that, they just say root passwd isnt supported in here thats all | 20:22 |
| kontagious | i am having troubles with my wireless card. it works on my home network but intermittently on my school network. everyone around me has access but i dont. could it be a drive issue? | 20:22 |
| Tixos | can someone help with ubuntu ATI drivers? | 20:22 |
| Tixos | how can i check what driver version i am running ? | 20:23 |
| Younder | Gentoo64, I is supported, just use passwd roo <whatever> | 20:23 |
| Younder | root | 20:23 |
| Gentoo64 | ok ask the ops then | 20:23 |
| vuln | What do I need to do to my file to be run whenever I turn on the pc? throw it in /etc/init.d/ and give it +x permission? | 20:23 |
| guntbert | !noroot | Younder | 20:24 |
| ubottu | Younder: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 20:24 |
| Gentoo64 | you can do passwd root ofc, but they dont like you mentioning it in here for whatever reason | 20:24 |
| openbees | kontagious: it seems like connectivity problem with your school network | 20:24 |
| kontagious | openbees, i could connect to the network but dhcp would not give me a default gateway and i had to add it with the route command myself. every single other computer has internet though | 20:24 |
| Younder | Gentoo64, It isn't recommended to use it. Ubuntu as a empty passwd for root which disables the accound. Normally one uses sudo | 20:24 |
| zloba | !root | 20:25 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:25 |
| openbees | Gentoo64 : Now i Goted...extract of your information...LOLZ | 20:25 |
| Gentoo64 | Younder, i know all this. i wasnt the one asking lol | 20:25 |
| kontagious | openbees, now i cant even connect to the network to manually enter a gateway | 20:25 |
| kontagious | there is also an alternative WEP network that i cannot connect to either | 20:26 |
| openbees | kontagious: i think you should refer to your school's network administrator ... | 20:27 |
| nikostap | I ssh'd into my desktop and ran a C program. It went into an infinite loop and kicked me off. Can I kill it remotely? | 20:27 |
| kontagious | i went there and they said all my settings are correct. she did mention not enough IP addresses being assigned but every single computer around me could work (all windows) | 20:27 |
| openbees | Gentoo64 : now i got the answer ...what is the use of root password...and answer is totally useless...AGREE? | 20:28 |
| Gentoo64 | openbees, ubuntu has a user setup on install. not all distros have this | 20:28 |
| Younder | guntbert, I think is is important that they understand their machine and why it is set up as it is. I don't believe in secrecy. | 20:28 |
| Gentoo64 | openbees, you dont want to log in as root either way | 20:28 |
| perlstein | grrrr | 20:28 |
| kontagious | i can connect to my home network instantly with no problems | 20:29 |
| Gentoo64 | openbees, but sometimes its useful | 20:29 |
| perlstein | installer is dying at "Starting up the partitioner -> 47%" | 20:29 |
| openbees | LIKE??? | 20:29 |
| rek_ | hi,i did a userdel and i think i lost the content of the folder even if the content was in my external hd cause i did a mount --bind lostthings /home/user is this possible? i lost 60gb of files im sad | 20:29 |
| Gentoo64 | openbees, like if you have no other users yet... cant do much without it lol. or if you want to log in (without x) its quicker to login as root than as user and then su - ing typing password twice | 20:30 |
| === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf | ||
| openbees | gentoo64 : what if i want to start my system always as root ? | 20:31 |
| rek_ | hei | 20:31 |

| Gentoo64 | openbees, no one would recommend that, because you could accidentally do anything | 20:31 |
| Gentoo64 | and some programs wont even work | 20:32 |
| rek_ | qin i used -rm when i did sudo rm -r dir but after rebooting the sys, if i reboot the sys it was empty because i generally mount things there every time i restart the machine manually... | 20:32 |

| perlstein | for some reason this stupid installer is mad at my config | 20:34 |
| Gentoo64 | openbees, do some googling then. you dont want to log in X as root end of | 20:34 |
| perlstein | and i need to wipe the existing partition table for it to work | 20:34 |
| LjL | perlstein: zeroing the drive, if you're that brave | 20:34 |
| qin | rek_: So you removed with rm after userdel? | 20:34 |

| LjL | perlstein: yeah, although you may want to save time by limiting yourself to the first bunch of kilobytes instead of waiting for all the drive to be written | 20:35 |
| anybudy | help | 20:36 |
| Gentoo64 | openbees, i wish i understood what you meant lol | 20:36 |

| Kjekken | how do i set that one? | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | 21:33 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 21:33 |
| Kjekken | read that you had to press f6 to get it | 21:33 |
| Kjekken | but nothing happens when i press f6 | 21:33 |
| zoned | if i want everyone in my 'dev' group to have sudo access, i should change /etc/group's 'sudo' users list to say 'dev', and underneath that have a 'dev' group where i list all my 'dev' users right? | 21:34 |
| [twisti] | hi | 21:34 |
| Kjekken | where do i put "!nomodeset" | 21:34 |
| Kjekken | sorry for my noobing :D | 21:35 |
| [twisti] | i run a headless ubuntu lts 10.04 and would like to know if its possible for me to run a virtual (ubuntu) server inside it. the obvious routes with vmware and virtualbox all seem to require the host to run x | 21:35 |
| [twisti] | whats the proper way to do that ? | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | zoned: just add: %dev ALL=(ALL) ALL | 21:35 |

| fuho | Hi, hopefully short question, how can I add a user to sudoers in terminal? Ubuntu 11.04 Server 32b | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | zoned: add it below: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL and it will give the users in the dev group, sudo access | 21:37 |
| Flannel | fuho: You don't need to add them to sudoers, just add them to the admin group: sudo adduser username admin | 21:37 |
| fuho | :) lookl like someone asked the same thi ng before I entered the room | 21:37 |
| wildbat | !sudo | zoned to the /etc/sudoers | 21:37 |
| ubottu | zoned to the /etc/sudoers: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 21:37 |
| fuho | Flannel: I dont want the user to be admin all the time, so he cant accidentaly f***k things up | 21:38 |
| Um_cara_Qualquer | bonjour folks, quick question: using "resw 1" is the same thing as using "resb 2"? Do i manipulate it the same way later? | 21:38 |
| Flannel | fuho: I don't understand what you're trying to do. You want to let them use sudo, but not use sudo? | 21:38 |
| fuho | Flannel: I want them to be able to do sudo, but not be root. I think I misunderstood you, my bad. | 21:39 |
| fuho | Flannel: Will try right away. | 21:40 |
| Flannel | fuho: sudo is effectively giving them root access. | 21:40 |
| Flannel | fuho: but, that command will 'merely' let them use sudo. | 21:40 |
| zoned | ActionParsnip, lol... i can't edit the sudoers file, and i can't sudo because soders file is empty....... | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | zoned: sudo visudo will edit it | 21:40 |

| [deXter] | Flannel: Hmm, odd. Unable to find the package. I'm trying to update to Firefox7, I added the ppa, but apt-get says the newest version is already installed | 21:42 |
| fritsch | [deXter]: sudo apt-get install "package name" | 21:42 |
| fuho | Flannel: Its vanilla set up, just reinstalled the server 3 days ago. | 21:42 |
| fritsch | [deXter]: it upgrades automatically | 21:42 |
| Flannel | [deXter]: if you've just added a repository, did you do an apt-get update? | 21:42 |
| fuho | Flannel: ubuntu 11.04 server 32b | 21:42 |
| midnight | thanks | 21:42 |
| [deXter] | Flannel: yeah | 21:42 |
| fuho | Flannel: Its running on VPS | 21:42 |
| Flannel | fuho: If this is a vanilla install that didn't have any installation issues, then yes, you have an admin group. If you had some installation issues, you may not have an admin group. | 21:42 |
| [deXter] | fritsch: Well, it hasn't upgraded yet.. I've added the ppa, did an apt-get update.. | 21:43 |
| zoned | ActionParsnip, my user is not in the sudoers file... | 21:43 |
| woot1337 | hi | 21:43 |
| fritsch | [deXter]: apt-get upgrade | 21:43 |
| Flannel | [deXter]: You'll have to look into the details for that PPA, it's possible that the package has a different filename. You can see what version you have installed and what is available in [any repository enabled] by `apt-cache policy packagename` | 21:43 |
| woot1337 | can someone tell me what it means when a directory is owned by 500:500 | 21:43 |
| fritsch | [deXter]: will update too much, so just do apt-get install "of package you want to upgrade" | 21:43 |
| [deXter] | fritsch: Yeah, I've tried that. It doesn't list firefox.. | 21:44 |
| Flannel | zoned: did you edit your sudoers file without using visudo? | 21:44 |
| [deXter] | fritsch: It says firefox is already the newest version | 21:44 |
| Flannel | zoned: Or did you just clear it out? | 21:44 |
| fritsch | [deXter]: ah, i see | 21:44 |
| fritsch | [deXter]: can you do: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 21:44 |
| fritsch | [deXter]: does ist list firefox? | 21:44 |
| [deXter] | fritsch: nope, it doesnt | 21:45 |
| zoned | Flannel, somehow I lost sudo access to my user when i removed my user from the 'sudo' line in etc/group and replaced it with 'dev' | 21:45 |
| zoned | (my user is a part of the dev group) | 21:45 |
| fritsch | [deXter]: so your sources are not correct, or everything is alreday updated | 21:45 |
| fuho | Flannel: I havent seen the install, I only have web access to the management console. | 21:45 |
| Flannel | zoned: There shouldn't be a sudo group, it's admin. But yeah, that would definately cause headaches. | 21:45 |
| [deXter] | fritsch: I tried the command given by Flannel and it doesn't list the firefox repo! | 21:45 |
| Kindari | Hey guys, how can I update oidentd from natty while on 10.04? | 21:45 |
| fritsch | [deXter]: okay - no idea then | 21:46 |
| Flannel | [deXter]: Then either that package isn't in that PPA, or you didn't add the PPA successfull. | 21:46 |
| Flannel | zoned: You'll need to reboot to the recovery console and fix that. | 21:46 |
| kasper_ | hola | 21:46 |
| qin | woot1337: What directory? try: sudo cat /etc/shadow | grep 500: | 21:46 |
| [deXter] | Flannel: I'm in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and I can see mozillateam-firefox-stable-natty | 21:46 |
| [deXter] | Flannel: Any idea how I can browse that repo using my browser? | 21:46 |
| Flannel | fuho: Ah, this is someone else's VPS? That's not unusual then. Many of those installs aren't "vanilla" | 21:46 |
| zoned | Flannel, so i should remove the 'sudo' line from etc/group, and reboot? | 21:46 |
| woot1337 | im getting the /usr/local/bin directory is owned by 500:ossec | 21:47 |

| Flannel | fuho: right, so it's the standard VPS type set up that many VPSs seem to prefer (not a vanilla set up). So, you can either make a group named 'admin' and set up your sudoers like the default sudoers (see the wikipage on that), or you can add individual accounts by name to your sudoers. | 21:50 |
| qin | woot1337: If you want you can chown it back to root:root, have you install anything there? Is it used or empty? | 21:51 |
| fuho | Flannel: Adding one user would be great, it will be just me using the server anyways. | 21:51 |
| atari911 | sudo -i | 21:51 |
| qin | woot1337: What version do you run? uname -a | 21:52 |
| Flannel | fuho: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers will give you a good run down of that file, I suggest you read the whole document, try to understand it, and come back here for help. You have a root user, so if you mess up your sudoers so no one can sudo, you still have access to fix it (you should still use visudo to edit though) | 21:52 |
| zoned | Flannel, so i accidentally removed the admin privileges... now i am locked out of my own system? | 21:53 |
| atari911 | Flannel: why not just add the user to the admin group | 21:53 |

| ActionParsnip | monotonia: what wireless chip does it use? | 22:01 |

| shishire | Is there a way to get sed to not overwrite an existant backup when using --in-place? doing sed --in-place=".bak" -e 'sed command here' multiple times makes the backup useless. | 22:01 |
| Phr3d13 | yeah, its full, what would be safe to delete from within windows? downloads folder stuff? | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | subcool: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Phr3d13: run: sudo apt-get clean may help | 22:02 |
| subcool | ActionParsnip: no | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | subcool: then how did you know the data was consistent and complete? | 22:02 |
| monotonia | ActionParsnip: Prism, but the driver is all OK and working | 22:02 |
| zoned | so etc/group has nobody listed under admin, but has the dev group listed under sudo (which my user is a part of), and the sudoers file is empty. can someone help me unlock myself out? | 22:02 |

| ActionParsnip | monotonia: doesn't answer the question | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Phr3d13: yes, you should also remove unused kernels too | 22:03 |
| Flannel | femanon: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html#static-ip-addressing It's not a GUI method, but it's easy and it works. | 22:03 |
| monotonia | ActionParsnip: Prism ISL3886 | 22:03 |
| Phr3d13 | is there an easy command for that? | 22:03 |
| subcool | ActionParsnip: i have been using it for a while now, and it out of no where just did this. | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Phr3d13: if you run: uname -a you can see the CURRENT kernel, if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 you can see the INSTALLED kernels, you can remove as many kernels as you like but do NOT remove the CURRENT kernel | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | subcool: you can also tell the USB to check the files on it when it starts to boot | 22:05 |
| Phr3d13 | ok, hopefully next time i come back here it'll be in ubuntu | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | monotonia: is it usb based, or pci? | 22:06 |
| subcool | ActionParsnip: ill do that now- but i think its because my disc is full, I have run into this before.. but- it usually resolves in reformat. | 22:06 |
| monotonia | ActionParsnip: PCI | 22:06 |
| qin | shishire: You making backups with sed? | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | monotonia: tried the p54pci driver in the default install? | 22:07 |
| monotonia | Yes, I said the native driver works fine, I just can't make it managed by network manager, because ceni used it. | 22:08 |
| shishire | qin: No, editing files, but the script which is doing so may be run multiple times. I don't want the original copy of the backup to get overwritten, as it can be restored if needed. | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | monotonia: you may need to install linux-firmware you may need to run: dmesg | grep -i firm to see if there is a firmware missing, there is a NATIVE driver, so using the windows driver makes no sense.. | 22:08 |
| buntu | anyone wanna tell me how to save my hda analyzer settings upon boot? | 22:09 |
| monotonia | ActionParsnip: I am using the native driver. It works. The problem is completely different. | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | monotonia: I thought you said you'd used the windows driver? | 22:10 |
| zoned | can anyone please help me... i accidentally removed my user from the admin group in etc/group, and now i can't do anything. if it helps, the 'sudo' line in etc/group lists 'dev' (the group my user is part of), but the sudoers file is empty | 22:11 |
| monotonia | ActionParsnip: I said I tried it and used ceni, and now installed native one, but normal network menager still thinks I want to use other program to manage it | 22:11 |

| monotonia | ActionParsnip: I have no problems with driver, really, it works fine. :) I just want to change settings of the network-manager to allow it to manage, because I was using the different program to managing wlan1, and it thinks I still want to do it. | 22:16 |
| zoned | qin, i think so? | 22:16 |
| soreau | zoned: Well you're going to have to figure something out if you have no physical access to the machine. Contact the server administrator | 22:16 |

| wildbat | !root|Fail_Bot: use sudo -i | 22:47 |
| ubottu | Fail_Bot: use sudo -i: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:47 |

| wildbat | !noroot | Fail_Bot | 22:49 |
| ubottu | Fail_Bot: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 22:49 |
| Fail_Bot | Can I ask why? | 22:50 |
| Gaming4JC | tiago_: You'll need to go over apt-history. http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-show-apt-log-history.html Then look for uninstalled items, then install needed packages from the CD mounted on an external drive. | 22:50 |
| Gaming4JC | So you need to not only know the packages removed, but be able to find them on the disk again. :| | 22:51 |
| zooka | Fail_Bot: It's a security risk for users who might not be knowledgable enough to have a root password. Some people are used to Single User operating systems and would be tempted to run as root all the tme | 22:51 |
| tiago_ | previously I went to the var/cache/apt and installed all that were there to no effect | 22:52 |
| tiago_ | Gaming4JC: thanks, i'll try | 22:52 |
| zooka | Fail_Bot: Correction sorry- *Knowledgable enough to be trusted with a root password*. It's not advisable to run as root all the time because you are at risk of accidentially damaging part of the system or having malicious software run with root access. | 22:52 |
| wildbat | Fail_Bot: also it make ssh to root possible ~and have root password forget and make recovery mode failed. | 22:52 |
| zooka | Fail_Bot: Basically, lots of risks for little reward :P | 22:53 |

| Zack | can anyone help me with a wlan0 problem | 22:54 |
| Fail_Bot | I'm not running as root all the time, I'm formatting and installing a new distro of linux, compiling from source, it seems MORE secure to have a secondary user that can authenticate root priveleges, rather than a secure root account that RARELY gets touched | 22:54 |
| Arcademan | Zack, what is it not getting :) | 22:55 |
| Fail_Bot | Secure root account > user that can autehnticate root | 22:55 |
| Zack | my wlan0 does not want to connect for some reasion | 22:55 |
| Gentoo64 | Fail_Bot, what do you mean secure root account? | 22:55 |
| zooka | Fail_Bot: Sorry maybe I misunderstood (I just came in halfway through the convo) | 22:55 |
| tiago_ | how can i install packages from the ubuntu cd mounted ? | 22:55 |
| zooka | Fail_Bot: (also same question as Gentoo64) | 22:56 |

| Igashu | How can I add a program that hasn't been installed via a package to the Unity shortcuts/search, so that I can simply search/type to launch it? | 22:56 |

| Arcademan | and see if it connects :) | 22:56 |
| Zack | i have | 22:56 |
| Zack | i get the 132 error | 22:57 |
| Fail_Bot | My root account is password protected, and rarely accessed unless needed. My everyday user account does not have root priveleges, the only way to access root is to log in as root, in theory since my "everyday" account CAN have root access, I feel like its a security threat | 22:57 |
| Zack | $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 | 22:57 |
| Gentoo64 | Fail_Bot, no it makes no difference. you know when you're using sudo or not | 22:57 |
| Gentoo64 | hence the password | 22:57 |
| TrueColors | Could anyone assist me with my issue :( | 22:57 |
| Arcademan | yikes you have something wrong then on the driver itself :( | 22:57 |
| lupistrikis | hols | 22:57 |
| Gaming4JC | Fail_Bot: I have mine setup to just "su" to root. So there is no root account, unless you login as an admin, and then su to access root terminal | 22:57 |
| SIFTU | Fail_Bot: also logging is better with sudo | 22:58 |
| Gentoo64 | Fail_Bot, having a root password is also easier for people to brute force you as root is the first name theyd go for | 22:58 |
| Zack | it just started acting up now | 22:58 |
| Zack | any idea how to help or a channel to go to? | 22:58 |
| Gaming4JC | Gentoo64: not as easy to brute force if you don't allow root login? | 22:58 |

| Gentoo64 | which is hader | 22:59 |

| wildbat | Fail_Bot: how secure it is with everyone know root username is root vs any account with random naming? if you don't need everyone account to have sudo right then don't have them in the admin group. ~ but it is really up to you. | 22:59 |
| sunice | TrueColors: If you ask your question the answer is maybe. | 22:59 |
| Gaming4JC | Plus my password goes on for almost 32chars, so I'm not too concerned. | 22:59 |
| TrueColors | I already did sunice.. | 22:59 |
| Arcademan | Zack, you said you modprobed the device :) | 22:59 |
| Igashu | In general it's more about the self-policing aspect of it | 22:59 |
| TrueColors | Okay, http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxSimpleCGI ... just after that long beasty perl file ... what is it that I've got to do? It appears I must... create a service with it? I'm actually unsure as to what to do... could anyone assist me? | 22:59 |
| Zack | i did | 22:59 |
| TrueColors | I've created some sort of perl config, but still can't figure out what i do with that file | 22:59 |
| Igashu | It's easy to forget you're logged in as root and rm -rf something you didn't mean to | 22:59 |
| Igashu | :) | 22:59 |
| Arcademan | Did you install updates since then? | 23:00 |
| Igashu | sudo implies caution | 23:00 |
| Igashu | or it implies that I want a sandwich | 23:00 |
| Zack | after it stopped working to try and fix it | 23:00 |
| repnop | fail_bot: by that token, more secure would be a secondary user you never use | 23:00 |
| repnop | who can sudo | 23:00 |
| WACOMalt-work | I can | 23:00 |
| repnop | rather than root itself :p | 23:00 |

| sunice | TrueColors: Have you tried in #nginx? | 23:04 |
| Igashu | I've gotten rather used to the search feature; it's kind of similar to the only redeeming quality of osx, its spotlight | 23:04 |
| === Erika_Meier is now known as Klaus_Dieter | ||
| TrueColors | sunice, it's inactive... plus i'm not sure it's entirely nginx as it's more.. running a service in ubuntu I think. | 23:04 |
| zooka | Igashu: I like Unity. I don't use it (I prefer Awesome) but I have no huge problems with it | 23:05 |
| TrueColors | it connects to an nginx socket, but that's really all nginx has to do with it. | 23:05 |
| TrueColors | then from my understanding, the nginx config (already done... I think) makes requests to the socket,a nd then the perl script is suppose to ... read the requests and respond. | 23:05 |
| Igashu | zooka: gotcha. I don't mind it either, other than the fact that managing it seems a bit unintuitive | 23:06 |
| Gentoo64 | Igashu, whats so good about the search feature though? | 23:07 |
| zooka | Igashu: I think 11.10 and 12.04 will see some good improvements to the daily use factor of it. | 23:07 |
| tiago_ | I mounted the ubuntu iso, how can I make it run? | 23:07 |
| Gentoo64 | tiago_, in windows? | 23:07 |
| sunice | TrueColors so you've got to the part where you've run the pearl script? and what hapened? | 23:07 |
| Igashu | Gentoo64, just speed. I hit the windows key, type "term" and hit enter. | 23:07 |
| Igashu | etc | 23:08 |
| tiago_ | Gentoo64: no, ubuntu. I lost some packages and i am currently on console mode tty | 23:08 |
| Gentoo64 | i suppose, but clicking a terminal icon seems quicker | 23:08 |
| zooka | Gentoo64: The search is basically akin to a built-in Gnome-DO or Kupfer (or Synpase if you will) It's just a nice feature for moderate to power-users | 23:08 |
| Gentoo64 | tiago_, you dont mount the iso | 23:08 |
| Gentoo64 | you burn it to disc | 23:08 |
| Igashu | If you prefer using a mouse, sure :P | 23:08 |
| tiago_ | Gentoo64: i know, but i don't have discs currently nor internet connection | 23:08 |
| tiago_ | there must be a way to get those packages | 23:08 |
| SIFTU | hotkeys are even quicker <super+t> | 23:08 |
| Igashu | sure, but I don't have hotkeys for all 60 apps I have installed! | 23:09 |
| zooka | Igashu: I prefer a keyboard shortcut ;) Shift+Ctrl+T for a terminal / command prompt | 23:09 |
| Igashu | (etc etc) | 23:09 |
| zooka | SIFTU: Beat me to it | 23:09 |
| Igashu | yes, perhaps Terminal was a poor example | 23:09 |
| Gentoo64 | i like openbox just right click the desktop | 23:09 |
| Zack | arcademan they said to come back here | 23:09 |

| Gaming4JC | ubottu: chaitu, Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 23:17 |
| ubottu | Gaming4JC: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:17 |
| Gaming4JC | I know you aren't. | 23:17 |
| Gaming4JC | :) | 23:17 |
| Igashu | In case anybody was wondering | 23:19 |
| Igashu | it reads the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications | 23:19 |
| Igashu | :) | 23:19 |
| zooka | so here is a suddenly relevant question for everyone. Most terminal based IRC applications use Page Up/Down to scroll through the conversation. Any suggestions for when my laptop has no Page Up/Down keys? (Using Irssi) | 23:19 |
| zooka | Sorry, suddenly relevent to me* | 23:20 |
| Gentoo64 | idk. use xchat? | 23:20 |
| SIFTU | zooka: bind it to another key? | 23:20 |
| Gentoo64 | or dont you use a gui | 23:20 |
| Gaming4JC | Igashu: Could be nifty to put that info somewhere on here if it's not already https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity | 23:20 |
| Gaming4JC | :) | 23:20 |
| zooka | Gentoo64 - I'm using Awesome WM, so I do have GUI applications, but it's easier to tile terminals than gtk apps. | 23:20 |
| Gentoo64 | ah ok | 23:21 |
| zooka | SIFTU - I'll be honest, all of my key binding experience has never gone well. To this day I haven't found out how to use xmodmap (or whatever it's called) properly | 23:21 |
| Renski | hi, just did a apt-get upgrade, and a shutdown -r now, and now my box change seem to access the network. Could use a hand? | 23:21 |
| Gentoo64 | whats with all the tiling madness | 23:21 |
| SIFTU | zooka: http://irssi.org/beginner/#c9 | 23:21 |
| Gentoo64 | seems everyones using awesome lol | 23:21 |
| zooka | SIFTU - thanks, one moment | 23:22 |
| zooka | Gentoo64 - Honestly, I definitely am trying it cause I jumped on the bandwagon, but I can't live without tiling now | 23:22 |
| zooka | Super conveniant | 23:22 |
| Gentoo64 | ive never liked it myself | 23:23 |
| zooka | SIFTU - This looks great! Thank you :) | 23:23 |
| SIFTU | zooka: I use pytyle with openbox on virtual desktop I want tiled (which is not all) | 23:23 |
| zooka | Gentoo64 - To each their own | 23:23 |
| Gentoo64 | ^ yea :) | 23:23 |
| annath | hey all... I have a question. I recently got a new charger for my laptop. The old one was a 90 Watt brick, and the new one is 65 Watts. Windows doesn't seem to have a problem with it, but when I am booted in ubuntu it constantly switched between charging and discharging the battery and popping up notifications about power remaining that get in the way of what I'm doing. Since windows seems to have no problem I'm wondering if | 23:23 |
| annath | this is some sort of adjustment that Ubuntu isn't doing automatically? (Side note: if I take the battery out and just run on AC power, I have no problems.) | 23:23 |
| zooka | SIFTU - another good way to do it, I tried openbox and fluxbox, but awesome has been suiting my needs much better so far | 23:24 |
| Gentoo64 | annath, isn't it the official charger then? | 23:24 |
| annath | No, but the one on Acer's website is also a 65 Watt supply, so I assumed that they just revised it to draw less power. | 23:24 |
| Gentoo64 | ah ok as long as the wattage is right | 23:25 |
| annath | The computer came with the 90 Watt supply but Acer seems to think that 65 is just fine | 23:25 |
| Gentoo64 | no idea anyway | 23:25 |
| === jiMuBao_ is now known as jimubao_ | ||
| Phr3d13 | ok, back into ubuntu, how can i safely purge as many caches as possible? | 23:25 |
| zooka | annath - I generally suggest sticking with the wattage of the original adaptor | 23:25 |
| Gentoo64 | ^ that would be most reliable | 23:26 |
| zooka | annath - I would suspect that since the draw into the battery is so low, Ubuntu is assuming that it is charging, then not charging, then charging again | 23:26 |
| Gentoo64 | but.. laptop chargers are dear no? | 23:26 |
| Gentoo64 | 90 to 65 watts is quite alot | 23:26 |
| Gentoo64 | of difference | 23:26 |
| annath | I actually tried, but I couldn't find another 90 watt supply anywhere | 23:26 |
| annath | :/ | 23:26 |
| annath | which was rather confusing | 23:26 |
| zooka | annath - You can ussually get a cheap universal charge. Try an Antec or Cooler Master if you don't want to spend too much. | 23:27 |
| Gentoo64 | annath, it could just be an ubuntu problem. so many peoplle have problems with ubuntu and laptops | 23:27 |
| Gentoo64 | in all areas | 23:27 |
| zooka | Gentoo64 - Wattage isn't a huge concern with adaptors. It just shows the maximum thouroughput of the charger. Ampage and Voltage are more important in choosing the correct adaptor | 23:27 |
| zooka | ugh that was some bad spelling | 23:28 |
| annath | it's got the same output voltage | 23:28 |
| SIFTU | annath: you could see the power draw by unplugging the AC and running powertop | 23:28 |
| annath | I'll try that | 23:29 |
| Maarten | annath: A laptop can easily work on 65 Watt. However, depending on the laptop, you might not get a very quick charge (or none at all) when you are working on it. A laptop AC adapter will first use wattage to power the laptop, and what is left will be used to charge the laptop battery. Ergo, if a laptop uses 60 Watt, with a 65 Watt power supply there is only 5 Watt left for charging, which really is not much. | 23:29 |
| Gentoo64 | either way, windows works, ubuntu dont | 23:30 |
| annath | Yeah, I know. I'm not hugely concerned with charge speed because I have a newish battery that has good life, so I usually just charge it while I'm in class or at night. I'm just concerned about this flickering | 23:30 |
| Gentoo64 | maybe because of ubuntus high power usage | 23:31 |
| DrGamut | Has anyone solved the screen tearing issues with nvidia proprietary drivers and dual monitors? | 23:31 |
| Gentoo64 | with the kernel | 23:31 |
| annath | Gentoo64: Yep. Which makes me :( because usually it's the other way around XD | 23:31 |
| Gentoo64 | im guessing its something to do with maybe the kernels power usage problem | 23:31 |
| annath | that's what I'm thinking | 23:31 |
| annath | I was hoping I could adjust what it was trying to draw to match the new adapter | 23:31 |
| zooka | DrGamut - have you set your v sync in compix config? | 23:32 |
| SIFTU | annath: powertop will help you with that | 23:32 |
| annath | kk | 23:32 |
| annath | I am building it now | 23:32 |
| Gentoo64 | hope you sort it, sorry im no good with laptops | 23:32 |
| DrGamut | zooka, i set it in the nvidia config, and i enabled a workaround as suggested by some google results | 23:32 |
| zooka | DrGamut - The nvidia config v sync doesnt seem to work | 23:33 |
| Gentoo64 | it never does | 23:33 |
| zooka | DrGamut - install compiz settings manager if you haven't already | 23:33 |
| DrGamut | zooka: So where is the v sync option in compiz config | 23:33 |
| DrGamut | I have it | 23:33 |
| zooka | DrGamut - uh I beleive general options, one sec | 23:33 |
| Gentoo64 | i bet you any money youll never get vsync working 100% through a config | 23:33 |
| zooka | Gentoo64 - Mine works pretty well, the left monitor has a different refresh rate though which is a nuisance | 23:34 |
| Gentoo64 | its weird, adjusting the settings makes tearing seem less, but it never gets rid of it completely for some reason | 23:34 |
| DrGamut | I don't see any vsync options in general | 23:34 |
| Gentoo64 | onlything ive ever managed to get vsync on is mplayer2 with vdpau, games, and gnome 3 | 23:35 |
| zooka | DrGamut - http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/09/20/make-compiz-run-smoothly-and-without-tearing/ This should show you where that is located | 23:35 |
| TrueColors | #nginx is friggin dead, and #perl is completely full of douchebags -.- | 23:35 |
| zooka | If I'm correct. | 23:35 |
| zooka | DrGamut - also you may have to disable v sync everywhere else you have turned it on (e.g. nvidia control panel) | 23:35 |
| TrueColors | So, for the last time before I top myself, can someone help me get perl running with FCGI in nginx... | 23:36 |
| salvatore | ciao | 23:36 |
| === jrib is now known as Guest49180 | ||
| TrueColors | because if not, it's most likely I'll end up uninstalling ubuntu and to hell with it. | 23:36 |
| DrGamut | zooka: my ccsm doesn't have the options mentioned in that link | 23:36 |
| DrGamut | i've seen screenshots of this tab that had much more options than mine does, too | 23:36 |
| zooka | DrGamut - You probably installed the simple version. | 23:37 |
| DrGamut | oh | 23:37 |
| salvatore | ciao | 23:37 |
| zooka | DrGamut - in Ubuntu Software center you can choose simple or advanced | 23:37 |
| DrGamut | i didn't know there were other versions | 23:37 |
| zooka | DrGamut - just the two | 23:37 |
| zykotick9 | !it | salvatore | 23:37 |
| ubottu | salvatore: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 23:37 |
| DrGamut | hmm i didn't install the simple one | 23:38 |
| DrGamut | i have the one that doesn't say simple | 23:38 |
| salvatore | join #ubuntu-it | 23:38 |
| === Guest49180 is now known as jrib | ||
| zooka | DrGamut - what version of ubuntu are you on? | 23:38 |
| zykotick9 | salvatore, "/join #ubuntu-it" | 23:38 |
| DrGamut | 11.10, but I just upgraded to the beta from 11.04 specifically to see if it solved this issue | 23:38 |
| DrGamut | and i'm pretty sure i checked into the CCSM options before I did that | 23:39 |
| nemo | Has anyone encountered indicator-applet-appmenu sucking up 100% of CPU in Natty? | 23:39 |
| nemo | trying to figure out why | 23:39 |
| DrGamut | but i could be wrong | 23:39 |
| nemo | I attached ltrace, but nothing obvious in the output | 23:39 |
| zooka | DrGamut - gotcha. I haven't used 11.10 yet, so I don't know if they changed something there | 23:39 |
| zooka | DrGamut - I'm not sure what to tell you if that setting isn't there. Delete and reinstall compiz settings manager maybe? | 23:40 |
| DrGamut | Is there really no way to just force the refresh rates of your displays? I read somewhere that they have to be different because that's how X discriminates between displays internally - don't know if that's true. | 23:40 |
| zooka | DrGamut - You could look into editing your xorg.conf to enter it manually. I wouldn't know how to help you with that though | 23:41 |
| zooka | DrGamut - I'll be back in a bit sorry, but good luck | 23:42 |
| Fail_Bot | I'm having a problem creating a new user, its not able to lock the passwd file, I deleted it, and it didn't fix it | 23:42 |
| TrueColors | Am I being ignored here... (probably, I shouldn't even be alive) | 23:42 |
| soreau | DrGamut: X does not use refresh rate to differentiate between outputs | 23:42 |
| soreau | DrGamut: What is the actual problem you're having? | 23:42 |
| soreau | TrueColors: What does running FCGI in nginx have to do with ubuntu? | 23:43 |
| private_meta | Hi. I've been installing phpbb3 from the repositories and sendmail does not seem to work, no mails are sent. There is no error message in the logs, neither in /var/log, nor phpbb, any idea what I could do to fix it? The install sendmail program is exim4 | 23:43 |
| TrueColors | I've got nowhere else to go, soreau. I told you that. | 23:43 |
| pants_ | is there some magic way to get the flash cache to make it possible to grab flv videos from youtube | 23:43 |
| TrueColors | nginx is friggin inactive. | 23:43 |
| TrueColors | and i'm at my witts end with all these stupid tutorials which are .. well, stupid. | 23:44 |
| soreau | TrueColors: No, you didn't. And this isn't a catchall channel just because it's well populated. It's the official ubuntu support channel | 23:44 |
| TrueColors | and perl comes installed with ubuntu, and I'm using ubuntu ... I thikn it's a good match | 23:44 |
| soreau | pants_: Try firefox addon 'download helper' | 23:44 |
| soreau | TrueColors: I have no idea what you're trying to do but it sounds like you should seek a channel or forum that's more specific to what you're trying to find out | 23:45 |
| zykotick9 | pants_, flash creates and deletes the file right away. To capture them first run "lsof | grep Flash" to find out the proc #### being used then "cat /proc/####/fd/XX > flash.flv" the XX will be for each video you're watching. Sorry best directions I can give over IRC. Good luck. | 23:46 |
| soreau | pants_: Download helper is *way* easier :) | 23:46 |
| zykotick9 | soreau, +1 | 23:46 |
| pants_ | yeah i know | 23:47 |
| soreau | pants_: Then why are you asking? | 23:48 |
| pants_ | i don't know, i've read about scripts that'll take it out of the cache folder and move it so you can watch it later | 23:49 |
| soreau | pants_: Download. Helper. | 23:49 |
| soreau | Firefox. Add-on. | 23:49 |
| zykotick9 | pants_, those are outdated - flash files used to be stored in /tmp | 23:49 |
| soreau | indeed | 23:49 |
| soreau | It used to be easy | 23:49 |
| tetsu | is there a channel for UEC? | 23:49 |
| soreau | tetsu: What is UEC in this context? | 23:50 |
| tetsu | ubuntu enterprise cloud | 23:50 |
| pants_ | i have download helper i just wanted to be a little tricky i guess? | 23:50 |
| pants_ | at any rate i learned a bit about bash today so | 23:50 |
| soreau | pants_: Why??? | 23:50 |
| repnop | pants: another way is to use wireshark and just wget the flv file | 23:50 |
| soreau | repnop: With download helper, you can just copy the download link | 23:50 |
| repnop | afaik you need some headers set | 23:51 |
| repnop | otherwise it'll return a 403? | 23:51 |
| soreau | no, you don't | 23:51 |
| CoreXeT | anonymous? | 23:51 |
| repnop | but just giving him another route | 23:51 |
| soreau | repnop: Well I guess if he wants to use the most difficult way imaginable, he may as well just switch from firefox to links | 23:52 |
| roooot | is there any diff between xubuntu and ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| roooot | Like a MAIN difference? | 23:55 |
| aeon-ltd | roooot: xfce not gnome | 23:56 |
| roooot | is that the only diff? | 23:56 |
| smw | roooot, different default installed programs | 23:56 |
| smw | roooot, different desktop environment | 23:56 |
| aeon-ltd | dude you don't understand how big that diff is | 23:56 |
| roooot | Lol im just tryin to decide which one to install.. | 23:57 |
| aeon-ltd | it changes everything, all gui apps are different, only the ubuntu 'core' non-x stuff is the same | 23:57 |
| smw | roooot, the only difference is one is gnome and the other xfce | 23:57 |
| roooot | is one fast then another? or no cause same kernel | 23:57 |
| roooot | i heard xubuntu is lighter cuz no gnome | 23:58 |
| aeon-ltd | yes | 23:58 |
| Maarten | xubuntu is more geared to lower-end hardware, xfce does not take up as many resources as gnome, so on older hardware, it is generally faster. On newer hardware, it does not matter much | 23:58 |
| aeon-ltd | frankly though if you want light don't even use DEs | 23:58 |
| zykotick9 | roooot, they both use the same repository, so you can install the same things on either xubuntu or ubuntu or kubuntu or etc. | 23:58 |
| smw | thunar > nautilus (from a speed perspective) | 23:58 |
| roooot | well im running intel core i7... 6 gb ram.. | 23:59 |
| roooot | i tryed ubuntu kinda sloppy ;s | 23:59 |
| aeon-ltd | heh he heh | 23:59 |
| smw | roooot, get normal ubuntu. If you later want, you can try xfce | 23:59 |
| roooot | i tryed ubuntu alrdy.. and sometimes it hangs | 23:59 |
| aeon-ltd | roooot: sloppy how? laggy if so try classic or disabling compiz/unity | 23:59 |
