| itguru | The user doesn't want to sync, but start afresh with a new calender to be a duplicate of the old one | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| itguru | I'm firing up thunderbird now to check it out, I didn't know you could add google calenders | 00:00 |
| psingh | itguru, and it sounds like the user wants the calendar to be stored locally-- not connected online. Is that correct? | 00:01 |
| itguru | psingh the calender is to be imported into a *heaves* exchange calender .... (damn you OWA) :) | 00:05 |
| sywisy | hi | 00:06 |
| psingh | itguru, Ha Ha. Thunderbird esports as *.ics or *.cvs. Would one of these work for you when you "re-import" into exchange? | 00:06 |
| sywisy | when using emacs to compile C-code, i do M-x compile, and then type file name in | 00:10 |
| sywisy | can i tie this a button sequence? | 00:10 |
| sywisy | to a button sequence* | 00:10 |
| Telroth | psingh: for what it's worth, google offers a direct download of a calendar as ics or cvs; you could cut TB out of the loop entirely. | 00:10 |

| Krenair | gedit 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 | 00:12 |
| psingh | Telroth, I was just thinking there must be a way to do it directly. Wasn't clear initially that itguru wanted to import it into exchange. Looked like the goal was to import into Ubuntu as a local calendar. | 00:13 |
| itguru | psingh I don't like having to look after windows boxes, but believe me, it was hard enough getting some clients to switch - but I'm still supporting hybrid setups :( | 00:18 |
| Psyclone | i have windows installed side by side with xubuntu, is there a way i can resize the free space in my xubuntu | 00:18 |
| Solved | I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on my relatively fast, new laptop, but when I boot it from the CD (which the iso is correct), it freezes in the part where the white and orange dots below "ubuntu" move around. Any ideas? | 00:18 |
| Solved | Psyclone: Where is this free space coming from, and how much of it is there? | 00:18 |
| Psyclone | Solved : I have only 150 mb free in xubuntu but 17 gb free in windows and i want to take memory from windows | 00:19 |
| SIFTU | Psyclone: gparted from a live cd | 00:20 |
| Solved | Psyclone: Well, you have to resize your windows partition to your desired size, and then grow your xubuntu partition | 00:20 |
| robin0800 | Krenair, run language support which will see if there is any thing missing | 00:20 |
| Psyclone | Solved : do i do that through gparted | 00:20 |
| Telroth | SIFTU: the performance loss is inside of mdadm somewhere. The drives themselves seem to be functioning properly (sustained 120MB/s from the individual drives), whereas the raid device (/dev/md1) is giving me 30MB/s bursts every other second (0-2% cpu usage) | 00:21 |
| Solved | Psyclone: Yes, or any partition editor | 00:21 |
| Telroth | Not sure if that helps any, but if you have any other ideas of things I should look into, it would be helpful. | 00:21 |

| ridz16 | Hey guys I have a question regarding memory upgrade for my old computer. Max supported is 1gb and there are 2 memory slot, should I get one 1gb memory or two 512mb? which option would save more energy and/or more beneficial to the computer in terms of efficiency? I currently have 256 and its not enough for my *buntu set up. | 00:25 |

| Chwoka | first of all, i don't know if these partitions even exist yet or whether ubuntu will make them | 00:25 |

| Chwoka | second, i have no idea which one to pick | 00:26 |

| Solved | Chwoka: I'm in the same situation. You have to shrink your C: drive after you have used a program called "perfect disk 2k" in Windows | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ridz16: if the ,ax is 1Gb and there are 2 slots then it will prbably be 2 x 512Mb | 00:26 |
| edbian | ridz16: Only the newest intel i-series motherboard support dual or triple channel ram (I believe) so 1 1gb stick or 2 512Mb sticks will be about the same in everyway | 00:26 |

| SIFTU | Telroth: yeah I have never experienced that.. I first suspected a raid rebuild happening | 00:27 |

| DasEi | slim: there are different surfaces with the same core, lubuntu is designed for weaker boxer (smoother experience, less memory consumption, batterlife increased | 01:57 |

| ActionParsnip | Nicolas_Leonida2: do you have a desktop UI, or is it on a server? | 01:58 |

| HedgeMage | Hey, all. I'm an experienced Linux user, and I'm trying to teach a total newbie some Ubuntu basics via VNC as he's not quite 100% CLI-ready yet (we're getting there). He doesn't control the NAT he's behind. Port 22 is forwarded to his machine, but nothing else. AFAIK vino can't be made to listen on anything other than 5900 (if it can please correct me). I'm considering trying to help him | 02:16 |
| HedgeMage | configure it so I can connect via an SSH tunnel, but that's so far over his head it would be an onerous undertaking. We could use IPtables to locally forward port 22 to port 5900, but that sounds equally hard to talk him through.Is there an easier-for-newbies way to solve this problem (I don't care if it's easy for me, I know what I'm doing and control my own network)? | 02:17 |
| DasEi | HedgeMage: google teamspeak | 02:18 |
| somsip | HedgeMage: not what your asking, but would Skype share screen be of use? Or Teamviewer, if that can be set to use non-standard port? | 02:20 |
| DasEi | HedgeMage: or ssh -X, iff 22 is already free | 02:20 |
| idefix | is debian better than ubuntu? | 02:20 |
| nac-godfather | Anyone know if it's possible to pair a different model wireless keyboard receiver to another wireless keyboard? | 02:20 |
| bkfitz | HedgeMage: ufw? | 02:20 |
| xangua | idefix: depends of your needs and this is not the channel for that ;) stick to the topic please | 02:20 |
| idefix | when I hover over my Floopy Disk in nautilus it says "Mount and open Floppy Drive" however when I click or double click it nothing happens, what's wrong? | 02:21 |
| DasEi | err, http://tinyurl.com/6knqrv2 ,HedgeMage | 02:21 |
| nac-godfather | I friggen had my cool wireless keyboard shit the bed when I plugged in the reciever and it sparked. Supposedly causing a power circuit to be switched off/on. They say it can be fixed by doing a full reset/cmos reset, but I don't know... | 02:21 |
| sammy | can anyone suggest a good wireless scanner? I'm trying to choose a channel for a new wifi router and I'd like to see what channels are already saturated around here... | 02:23 |
| bkfitz | sammy: iwscanner | 02:24 |
| g0rs | sammy: there is a wifi radar ?! | 02:24 |
| g0rs | sammy: you'd find several | 02:24 |
| sammy | bkfitz: all I saw was a 3rd party package for iwscanner, and I don't like installing 3rd party packages without reviewing the code. good suggestion, though, that's the first one I found, too. | 02:24 |
| idefix | just because I'm old doesn't mean I can't still use floppy disks... | 02:25 |
| g0rs | idefix: what do you mean? | 02:25 |
| idefix | it seems nobody wants to help a weirdo who still uses floppy disks in 2011 | 02:25 |
| g0rs | idefix: what about them? are you unable to mount a floppy drive? | 02:26 |
| idefix | yes | 02:26 |
| idefix | it's not possible in nautilus | 02:26 |
| nac-godfather | sammy, use airodump-ng, from aircrack-ng | 02:26 |
| g0rs | idefix: i stopped using them around 2002 | 02:26 |
| nac-godfather | works great | 02:26 |
| nac-godfather | or wicd | 02:26 |
| bkfitz | sammy: source is in the download... i trust it and it works great | 02:26 |
| PxGaZuZ | hey everyone | 02:26 |
| idefix | I guess getting myself a USB stick wouldn't hurt | 02:26 |
| idefix | but for now | 02:26 |
| g0rs | sammy: aircrack and airdump are good for hacking too although their driver support is limited unless you are using atheros | 02:27 |
| nac-godfather | or you could simply use "iwlist <interface> scan" and then grep your results to your liking | 02:27 |
| PxGaZuZ | can anyone help me figure out how to create some space so i can dual boot? | 02:27 |
| g0rs | idefix: usb had replaced floppy disks | 02:27 |

| bkfitz | sammy: how about kismet | 02:27 |
| idefix | bedankt | 02:27 |
| idefix | oerheks | 02:27 |
| nac-godfather | anyone know how I can reset a probably power circuit breaker that was blown from ESD on my keyboard receiver. | 02:28 |
| manbra_linux | hey. i want to play a game with a friend on hte same computer. I'm thinking i could have two Xs, one for eahc monitor. can i 'bind' a mouse and keyboard to each x? | 02:28 |
| idefix | how do you get out of the man mount command?! | 02:28 |
| nac-godfather | dmesg gives this when plugging in my keyboard receiver: new full speed USB device number 19 using ohci_hcd device not accepting address 19, error -62 | 02:28 |
| DasEi | idefix: press q | 02:29 |

| PxGaZuZ | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/5/screenshotdevsdagpartedo.png/ | 02:30 |
| sammy | bkfitz: thanks, I was hoping there was something already in a repo. kismet is what I used years ago but its configuration is more than I need. i was really hoping for something a bit more simple. | 02:30 |
| bkfitz | sammy: yep... it's called iwscanner ;) | 02:30 |
| sammy | g0rs: I think I am actually using an atheros card, I'll look into aircrack. | 02:30 |
| sammy | bkfitz: ha :P I'm just always so skeptical of projects that have been around for a while but have no official debian package | 02:30 |
| PxGaZuZ | no help eh? fine.... | 02:31 |
| g0rs | sammy: it might need some work too although if you are debian its much easier as there are deb packages | 02:31 |
| Nicolas_Leonida2 | ok my cron is definitely not working on time, are there logs I could see why? | 02:31 |
| idefix | oerheks are you sure floppy disks are vfat? | 02:32 |
| g0rs | idefix: floppy disks usually have fat12 | 02:32 |
| philipballew | can i open a document made with pages in ubuntu | 02:32 |
| bkfitz | sammy: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-834947.html | 02:33 |
| g0rs | idefix: on linux im not really sure , probably you can format them with ext2 | 02:33 |
| sammy | bkfitz: sorry, don't get me wrong, I end up installing things without reviewed packages a lot, I was just being lazy and hoping there was a more simple scanner in the repos. thanks for the suggestions, g0rs and nac-godfather | 02:34 |
| sammy | I'll use iwscanner. maybe I'll nominate it for a getdebs package. | 02:34 |
| bkfitz | sammy: yeah... i understand. Looks like this one is pretty vetted though... not sure why ubuntu hasn't packaged it or at least auth'd it | 02:35 |
| nac-godfather | build from source, always :) | 02:35 |
| g0rs | sammy: you might try wifi radar . I'm not really sure about the name | 02:35 |
| idefix | I guess OerHeks is part of the Wicca trying to screw things up for all non-wiccans | 02:35 |
| g0rs | sammy: it lists diferent wlans and their channels | 02:35 |
| sammy | g0rs: i saw you mention that but I didnt know what you meant | 02:35 |
| idefix | are you, OerHeks? | 02:35 |

| bonez2046 | ActionParsnip: I ran those both... if I kill pulseaudio, what starts it back up? | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | jamescarr_: unity2D replaces ubuntu classic in oneiric, so you may want to switch to xfce | 02:50 |
| jamescarr_ | ActionParsnip, xfce!? No way! | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | bonez2046: its a setting in gnome, it is a required item so is autostarted | 02:50 |
| jamescarr_ | ActionParsnip, xfce is good if I was running a 386sx :) | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | jamescarr_: gnome in ubuntu will be purely unity based in futire releases | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jamescarr_: its a fine desktop, looks and smells like gnome2 as well | 02:51 |
| jamescarr_ | ah, just looked at the site, it's changed | 02:51 |
| jamescarr_ | it used to be the well known, lightweight "looks like 1998" window manager ;) | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | jamescarr_: its a DE, not a WM | 02:52 |

| ActionParsnip | jamescarr_: xfce has never been a WM, it uses Xfwm as its WM | 02:53 |

| jamescarr_ | is there a chance that unity will fix what it did to gvim? | 02:54 |

| slipttees | ActionParsnip, :D | 02:56 |
| ActionParsnip | jamescarr_: then use ubuntu classic and the desktop will look like maverick did | 02:57 |
| jamescarr_ | ActionParsnip, thanks, I got that... just asking if the gvim problem is a known issue? | 02:57 |
| Otend | I will take that as a no :< | 02:57 |

| g0rs | Gasseus: i don't blog nor do i read any of other's blogs unless they are really interesting | 03:16 |

| Gasseus | Is there any way to convert my MP3's to 128 bit while preserving the proper tagging? | 03:19 |
| zmbmartin | I just installed 11.10 beta 2 on my HP Envy 17 the clickpad support is not so good any help or recommendations? I tried a few tutorials but they didn't work and read that it should be provided out of the box in 11.04 and 11.10? | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | zmbmartin: ask in #ubuntu+1 for anything oneiric based | 03:20 |
| Gasseus | zmbmartin do a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, its a known issue | 03:20 |
| ZeloZelos | i need help fixing grub. i used ubuntu tweak to remove what i thought was all the old grubs ;( | 03:20 |
| DasEi | !grub | 03:21 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeloZelos: oh boy. What did you do and what do you now have? | 03:21 |
| zmbmartin | Gasseus: I am all up to date | 03:21 |
| zmbmartin | ActionParsnip: What room should I ask in? | 03:21 |
| Gasseus | zmbmartin use the .gov repositories. | 03:21 |
| Gasseus | It just got fixed like an hour ago | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | oops | 03:21 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, i only have vista, the drive has win 8 and ubuntu 11 | 03:21 |
| nixjr | will western digital 3tb hdds work with ubuntu 10.10? | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zmbmartin: #ubuntu+1 | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | nixjr: should do | 03:21 |
| Gasseus | nixjr Any hard disk will work up to 16 TB in size | 03:21 |
| nixjr | i heard somehting about a 2.2tb limit somewhere | 03:22 |
| Gasseus | Will it work with your bios is the real question | 03:22 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, i tried the grub stuff from the links but i guess i messed up | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeloZelos: no, what kernels do you have now? | 03:22 |
| Gasseus | and the limit is 4 tb | 03:22 |
| zmbmartin | Gasseus: how do I switch to the .gov repos. Still trying to feel my way around ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| Gasseus | zmbmartin install synaptic and use its tools. | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | zmbmartin: ask in #ubuntu+1 please | 03:22 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, oh, its 2.6.32-34 i think | 03:22 |
| nixjr | Gasseus, ah, any sort of rough date that mobo made post that date will work? | 03:23 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, i already baqckuped the stuff on the drive i needed | 03:23 |
| Gasseus | nixjr What key do you use to get into the boot menu? | 03:23 |
| Otend | okay, psensor is showing nothing useful | 03:23 |
| Otend | other than current temp | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeloZelos: so, where is the issue? | 03:24 |
| Gasseus | ZeloZelos Try running grub-install and update-grub | 03:24 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, the ubuntu lines arent there when grub starts, just memtest's and vista | 03:25 |
| nixjr | Gasseus, lol i dont recall, its f1, or del, is an asus P5Q series | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeloZelos: boot to liveCD and chroot to the installed ubuntu OS and run: sudo update-grub | 03:25 |
| Gasseus | nixjr You need a separate boot disk then. | 03:25 |
| Gasseus | ZeloZelos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 03:26 |
| nixjr | even if i only intend on using the 3tb as a data drive and not booting off it? | 03:26 |
| Gasseus | nixjr if you're not booting off it, you're fine | 03:26 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, perhaps if i hit e and change the vista line to load ubuntu, then use update grub n stuf that way? | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeloZelos: if you are able to, why not :) | 03:26 |
| nixjr | Gasseus, awesome, thanks for the info | 03:26 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, i did something similar a while ago and enede up reinstalling my entire hd im afaraid to do it agin | 03:26 |
| Gasseus | nixjr no problem. | 03:27 |
| Gasseus | ZeloZelos Check this artical: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 03:27 |
| Otend | one sec, trying something... | 03:27 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, thats the exact page i used | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeloZelos: if you are conversant with grub then go for it :). I don't advise 3rd party apps to remove something as fundamental as kernels | 03:27 |
| w0_ | why is alt-tab not working? | 03:28 |
| bjoswald83 | Ubuntu Tweak seems safe enough to use | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeloZelos: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bjoswald83: its a simple process to do manually, no risk then | 03:28 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, i need a demo setup, i think i can figure out what the hd partition name is n all | 03:28 |
| bjoswald83 | I haven't had any issues removing old kernels with it but I'll take expert advice anytime :) | 03:28 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, the chroot method was also one of the ways i was unsuccessfull | 03:29 |
| g0rs | {-_-} : hi | 03:29 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, i kinda need a plug n fix method, cept if i can get the os to boot i think i may be able to fix that way | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeloZelos: all I can recommend is boot to liveCD and chroot | 03:30 |
| DasEi | ZeloZelos: use subergrubdisk then | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ZeloZelos: i'm not conversant with grub as I single boot | 03:30 |
| DasEi | super* | 03:30 |

| Gasseus | samsul This channel is for stuff that is legal. | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | samsul: ultimate is offtopic here | 03:31 |
| samsul | sorry.. | 03:31 |
| bjoswald83 | Ultimate what? | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Gasseus: it is legal, ultimate gamer edition is a rehashed ubuntu with lots of free games on | 03:31 |
| bjoswald83 | Oh, I thought it was an illegal copy of Windows ;) | 03:31 |
| ZeloZelos | ActionParsnip, your prob right, it may go better this time, last time i messed it all up because i installed ubuntu to a micro sd on a flash adaptor, and when it installed grub it started an entire chaine of crap | 03:31 |
| nixjr | bjoswald83, thats what im wondering too | 03:31 |
| Gasseus | ActionParsnip Oh, my bad. I saw torrents and thought that immediately. | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Gasseus: not this time | 03:32 |

| zromayn | hi, I just installed dhcp3-server in my ubuntu 11.04 server. however, i don't think is even working. | 03:33 |
| Gasseus | zromayn May I ask what you need dhcp3-server for? | 03:34 |
| samsul | Ok, thanks all.. | 03:34 |
| Gasseus | zromayn for most (99%) of purposes that one would think its necessary it isn't. | 03:34 |
| zromayn | Gasseus, well, as far as I know I need to assign IP addresses to my home network | 03:35 |
| Rota | hellow | 03:35 |
| mediapc | running an nvidia card with current driver on ubuntu 11.04 and my screen is too big for the screen. my screen is getting the video signal from the video card through hdmi. Can anyone help? | 03:35 |
| bambanx | how in hell i can uninstall full wine guys | 03:35 |
| zromayn | Gasseus, I don't want to use my home router to do so. I don't understand your question. | 03:35 |
| Gasseus | zromayn #ubuntu-server, tho you may want to look at a dedicated firewall distribution. | 03:35 |
| mediapc | zromayn: try pfsense | 03:36 |
| whodafck | how is everyone? | 03:36 |
| g0rs | mediapc: have you connected a hdtv to your nvidia video card? | 03:36 |
| Gasseus | zromayn tho if its for a household, setting static IP's that don't conflict is 100% easier then setting up a dhcp server. | 03:37 |
| mediapc | g0rs: yes | 03:37 |
| Rota | i cannot access chat from my friend using the linux mint . ihave already downloaded the linux version | 03:37 |
| qin | bambanx: Which version? 1.2 1.3? | 03:37 |
| g0rs | mediapc: is everything working out ? are you able to display 1080p on your screen? | 03:37 |
| qin | bambanx: sudo apt-get purge wine<TAB> also remove ~/.wine | 03:38 |
| mediapc | looks like it was working. The new experimental drivers gave me no sound. the current nvidia drivers give me sound but the screen is cut off | 03:38 |
| zromayn | Gasseus, I want to know how to set up a dhcp server so I'm using my home LAN as a lab. | 03:38 |
| bambanx | qin when i pres tab i see this wine1.3-gecko wine-bin winetricks | 03:39 |
| Rota | 1.3 version | 03:39 |
| Gasseus | zromayn Really, running a DHCP server separate from your router is overkill. | 03:39 |
| bambanx | qin buddy | 03:39 |
| mediapc | g0rs: I do get 1080i (tv is 1080i) but when I make a movie full screen the edges go outside of the viewable area | 03:39 |
| g0rs | mediapc: very interesting. I wanted to try something like that but postponed it for a while. I wanted to hook up a tv to a computer through wlan because i usually dont use so much bandwidth on my wlan router | 03:39 |
| qin | bambanx: Remove all or them. sudo apt-get purge wine1.3 wine1.3-gecko winetricks | 03:40 |
| zromayn | Gasseus, have you setup dhcp3 in ubuntu server before? If so, can you help me set it up correctly? | 03:40 |
| qin | bambanx: And: rm -r ~/.wine (please carefull) | 03:40 |
| bambanx | qin /usr/share/wine/gecko' say me it snot empy and i cannot unistall | 03:40 |
| slim | Hello I am new and am running an old compaq armada e500 using ubuntu 10.0 and barely know how to run it. I am having troubles running flash. Can someone please help Me .???..Oh and I am a newbie... | 03:40 |
| cakeb0ss | zromayn how many computers? and why isnt simply using a router with the dhcp server enabled sufficient? | 03:41 |
| Gasseus | zromayn I've tried, its nearly impossible, and its overkill, unless you need it for some hyper-special purpose that is non-existant. | 03:41 |
| mediapc | Im able to stream video from the linksys e4200 router (usb drive) no problem with linux. sucks I cant see it very well in HDMI | 03:41 |
| Gasseus | Your router will do a better job at assigning IP's which you can use. | 03:41 |
| bambanx | qin what cani do buddy? | 03:42 |
| qin | bambanx: You can remove it later, after: dpkg -l wine1.3-gecko will return that there is not package. | 03:42 |
| ZeloZelos | slim did you try the software center? type flash in the search box it should show up | 03:42 |
| akston | @slim - Open the Ubuntu SW Centre from the gnome menu, type 'flash' into the search box - you'll find a package called Adobe Flash Plugin (Installer for the Adobe Flash Plugin) | 03:42 |
| qin | bambanx: Or try: sudo apt-get autoremove | 03:42 |
| akston | @slim It's kind of like an 'app store' | 03:43 |
| bambanx | qin sudo apt-get purge wine1.3-gecko | 03:44 |
| bambanx | this say me , it cannot remove because is a virtual package | 03:44 |
| Otend | ...Nnnnnope, BIOS has nothing. | 03:44 |
| slim | oh ya thanks guys i will thank you i will try that | 03:44 |
| g0rs | mediapc: are you using an external wlan card for connecting to the tv? is it not possible to connect the tv to your wlan router? | 03:44 |
| qin | bambanx: Uhm: sudo apt-get purge wine1.3 | 03:44 |
| zromayn | Gasseus, I just want to be able to get it working, that's all. | 03:44 |
| slim | I am very new to this | 03:45 |
| Gasseus | zromayn but WHY? | 03:45 |
| mediapc | g0rs: tv does not have a place for a wlan. right now the pc is using a 300Mbps usb wireless adapter | 03:45 |
| w0_ | is compiz cool? (sounds dumb, i know. hah) | 03:46 |
| zromayn | Gasseus, I just told you, because I want to get it working. That's all. | 03:46 |
| bambanx | thanks qin you are like a angel god send me bro | 03:46 |
| bjoswald83 | It's cool if you like cubes and wobbly windows | 03:46 |
| bjoswald83 | Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it | 03:46 |
| g0rs | mediapc: are all of the connections in your wlan router full? it usually has 256 ethernet ports | 03:46 |
| qin | bambanx: Sweet. | 03:46 |
| w0_ | seriously is compiz a configuration tool? or a program that runs all the time? | 03:46 |
| bambanx | :) | 03:47 |
| bjoswald83 | It's basicly desktop 3D support for window effects | 03:47 |
| qin | w0_: It is compisitor | 03:47 |
| DasEi | w0_: which gcard are you using ? | 03:47 |
| bjoswald83 | And it's the backbone of Unity | 03:47 |
| zromayn | hi, does anybody else has played with dhcp3-server? | 03:47 |
| mediapc | g0rs: no | 03:47 |

| akston | @w0_ The dekstop cube thing is a 'cool' way of organizing your workspaces on the faces of a cube, I find it useful because you can set it up to be translucent and see other things that are going on | 03:48 |
| bjoswald83 | I think it's cool because it's unique | 03:48 |
| bjoswald83 | You can only do so much with Alt-Tab | 03:48 |
| qin | bambanx: locate wine - that one is crude, but dpkg -l wine1.3 tell you what system see. | 03:48 |
| DasEi | w0_: rather less good idea, as compiz sucks quite lot of graphic power, might run in trouble other then bigger decent cards, nvidia works best for me | 03:49 |
| zromayn | has anybody here played with dhcp3-server with ubuntu 11.04? | 03:49 |
| w0_ | akston - cool is cool .. but I prefer eleagance. makles me feel like a ninha | 03:49 |

| w0_ | on a side note, would adding a vid card to my system that uses integrated video, make my puter run faster? | 03:53 |
| mediapc | g0rs: i take it the printer is not n though. The way I understand the router to work is if there is anything connected to the router that is not n the devices that are connected that are n end up connecting in g or b for compatability | 03:54 |
| phlak_user | DasEi: ok | 03:54 |
| DasEi | w0_: yes, memory alone | 03:54 |
| mediapc | g0rs: unless its a dual band router you cannot have something connected with n and something else with a/b/g | 03:54 |
| g0rs | mediapc: that could be a reason . I did explicitly configure my router to be in wireless n mode only. The printer connects with wireless n mode. | 03:55 |
| w0_ | dasei -- that's what I needed to hear. thx! | 03:55 |

| whodafck | hmm | 03:56 |
| mediapc | g0rs: check and see if the printer is n capable. it might also be that the driver you are using is not connecting in N. Mine was not because of an issue with the ralink driver provided to ubuntu | 03:56 |
| g0rs | mediapc: what is the maximum speed you got on a wireless n router? | 03:56 |

| Gasseus | g0rs it was an imaginary protocol | 03:59 |
| whodafck | dasei | 03:59 |
| DasEi | whodafck: it does, but by a modul, so no full 3d support, if that's the issue, | 03:59 |
| whodafck | talk to me bro | 03:59 |
| g0rs | mediapc: i have cat5e cables which should be fast. Probably cat5e cables are good for hdtv's | 04:00 |
| whodafck | hmmm should I just install ubuntu on my asus g53? | 04:00 |
| mediapc | g0rs: yes I dont need more than ~120 Mbps to show 1080i without issues which I do get with the setup I have now | 04:00 |
| Gasseus | whodafck are you absolutely sure you don't need windows? | 04:00 |
| whodafck | it took me 3 hours to figure out how to install vm workstation tools | 04:01 |
| whodafck | i pretty sure i need it bro | 04:01 |
| magn3ts | Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu has simply stopping repeating my keypresses? | 04:01 |
| g0rs | mediapc: 120Mbps is 15 megabytes per second | 04:01 |
| Gasseus | whodafck then don't | 04:01 |
| DasEi | w0_: 4 g is fine for most uses, rather rip the one if it's another brand and then tune timings, or get similar modules, both channels oc | 04:01 |
| Gasseus | magn3ts hit the right control key | 04:01 |
| whodafck | this is hard | 04:01 |
| mediapc | g0rs: yea that will be fine. the dlink router has Gbit ports? does your pc have Gbit ports? | 04:01 |
| phlak_user | magn3ts: cos you instructed it to? | 04:01 |
| whodafck | how did you learn to use it? | 04:01 |
| magn3ts | Gasseus, ? | 04:01 |
| whodafck | its the terminal that gets me. | 04:02 |
| magn3ts | phlak_user, How would I have done that so that I may undo it, though I posit that I did no such thing. | 04:02 |
| Gasseus | magn3ts odd solution to an odd problem | 04:02 |
| whodafck | wish I could just click and get what i want | 04:02 |
| magn3ts | Gasseus, hehe, I like your thought process but it did not help sadly. | 04:02 |
| slim | Wondering if there is a better ubuntu download to replace the 10.0 version I have on this old compaq armada e500 | 04:02 |
| g0rs | mediapc: its an old dlink wireless n router. it doesn't have a gbit port. | 04:02 |
| mediapc | g0rs: 120 Megabips on local wireless lan | 04:02 |
| xangua | slim: ubuntu.com | 04:02 |
| Gasseus | magn3ts the right control key (if pressed during a time when X is plugged up with keypresses), flushes the cache of keypresses. | 04:02 |

| DasEi | whodafck: calm a little down and just start somewhere, people tend to be helpfull and there are the forums, too | 04:03 |
| Gasseus | magn3ts you'd be surprised. | 04:03 |

| Gasseus | according to w3c, linux as a whole is more popular as a desktop system than windows vista | 04:08 |

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 | 04:10 |
| Gasseus | nprezident su is Debian, sudo is ubuntu | 04:10 |
| SetiAmon | reinstalling firefox worked | 04:10 |

| SetiAmon | I got a security question.is there any point to shredding freespace if my HD is encrypted with lvm? | 04:12 |
| g0rs | mediapc: what is the speed you get on ethernet and wlan? | 04:12 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: thats probably with a 100Mbit/s card; you should get at least 900Mb/s with a GiGE at both ends | 04:12 |
| Gasseus | SetiAmon One time, yes, otherwise no. | 04:12 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: and use iperf to test the throughput | 04:13 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: seems like a 100 megabit card and not megabyte | 04:13 |
| jesuslovesyou | SetiAmon I use wipe my free space on my hard drives on a regular basis | 04:13 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: yes | 04:13 |
| Gasseus | SetiAmon It could be easier done by using perl -e 'while(n<1000000000){print <ARGS> "fart";)' fart.txt | 04:14 |
| Gasseus | and yes, that is the one liner that I use. | 04:14 |
| kkb110_ | Hello, I would like to speed up or speed down a particular program (by faking system clock speed) how do I do that? | 04:15 |
| DasEi | SetiAmon: sure, as every encryption can be broken as your system can be compromised online | 04:15 |
| Gasseus | kkb110_ man nice | 04:15 |
| munzxttt | hi! when i boot or restart my laptop i get an error message with option to report the issue!!! and when i click on "report this issue" i get the password box! ... is this some malicious attack! | 04:15 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: i installed iperf but it wont run :/ | 04:15 |
| Gasseus | munzxttt no. Please report the issue, because it will help future versions of ubuntu be less buggy | 04:15 |
| DasEi | munzxttt: no, regular | 04:15 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: why? | 04:15 |
| SetiAmon | so maybe just use shred once in awhile on freespace.i remember i used to do that(recently went back to linux) | 04:16 |
| === syadamin|away is now known as sysadamin | ||
| Gasseus | SetiAmon Doing it more than once is overkill | 04:16 |

| munzxttt | Gasseus : thanks! i will | 04:16 |
| === sk8 is now known as ibsk8 | ||

| Gasseus | kkb110_ That "stuff" isn't supported in this channel. | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | !firewall | SetiAmon | 04:18 |
| ubottu | SetiAmon: 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. | 04:18 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: of course there are other options that you can play with; but baseline with two PCs/Laptops connected back to back with an Ethernet cable | 04:18 |
| kkb110_ | Gasseus, oh ok, but do you have any channel suggestion? | 04:18 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: i was trying with an external machine | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | SetiAmon: you really do own every tinfoil hat don't you | 04:18 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: like a generic ftp server on the web | 04:18 |
| Gasseus | kkb110_ I don't think anyone will support you in that task. | 04:18 |
| kkb110_ | Gasseus, ok thank you | 04:18 |
| daiwalkr | But it locks up on install. Where can I set bluetooth settings before its even installed. | 04:18 |
| SetiAmon | Actionparsnip:not really,have a lot of freetime might as well focus my energies into something | 04:19 |
| Gasseus | at best go walk into your local university and propose it as a research subject | 04:19 |
| ActionParsnip | SetiAmon: makes sense | 04:19 |
| SetiAmon | Guarddog.what about firestarter is that good | 04:19 |
| ActionParsnip | SetiAmon: could make a local repo if you have the space :) | 04:19 |
| mediapc | FYI I fixed my issue for my screen being outside of the viewable area: http://www.ypass.net/blog/2010/04/nvidia-overscan-correction-fixed-in-latest-drivers/ | 04:19 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: that is never accurate unless you know what is the size of the pipe the other end is connected to; how much do they allocate per connection etc | 04:19 |
| mediapc | thanks for the great distro!! | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | SetiAmon: firestarter is GTK based (Gnome), Guarddog is Qt based (KDE) | 04:20 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: can you suggest how to use it with an external http server? | 04:20 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: do you have the ability to install and run iperf on the external http server? | 04:21 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: i have installed iperf and i can run it too | 04:21 |
| ibsk8 | anyone have a good all inclusive site for ubuntu beginners? | 04:21 |
| ibsk8 | must know commands | 04:21 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: is that machine behind a firewall or does it allow connections on any port | 04:21 |
| SetiAmon | yeah i am using gnome | 04:21 |
| ibsk8 | i've been out of the linux loop for quite some time | 04:21 |
| nprezident | ibsk8 http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php | 04:21 |

| ibsk8 | i've still got my red hat bible | 04:22 |
| ibsk8 | but seems much has changed | 04:22 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: i can try a http server which stores files if that helps | 04:22 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: iperf has nothing to with http; i was referring to the physical machine on which the http server runs (could be a VPS too) | 04:23 |
| grumpy | i have openssh-server installed, denyhosts installed and configured, and ufw allowing port 22. why do i keep getting an "ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused" when i try to ssh <username>@localhost ? | 04:23 |
| Gasseus | grumpy ask in #openssh | 04:23 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: can you type an example with iperf? | 04:23 |
| phlak_user | grumpy: is sshd running (ps -fe|grep sshd) | 04:23 |
| qin | ibsk8: Strange, http://tldp.org/guides.html still looks like '90 | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | phlak_user: could also use: service ssh status | 04:24 |

| phlak_user | ActionParsnip: yes he could :) | 04:24 |
| grumpy | phlak_user: yeah, as far as I can tell: 'root 630 1 0 Oct02 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -D' | 04:24 |
| Gasseus | grumpy are you listening on 0.0.0.0 or a specific IP address? | 04:25 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: i'm getting about 3 megabytes per sec on http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-dvd/debian-6.0.2.1-i386-DVD-4.iso | 04:25 |
| grumpy | Gasseus: i dont know, how would i find out? | 04:26 |
| qin | grumpy: sudo netstat -tulp; sudo service ufw stop | 04:26 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: if i use wget | 04:26 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: i am unable to understand your goal; are you testing your internet connection throughput or your network interface card (wired or wireless)? | 04:26 |
| Gasseus | grumpy I don't know, its just something everyone says to check on minecraft because if you listen off of 0.0.0.0, you can only ocnnect to the interface you assigned it to. | 04:26 |
| grumpy | grumpy: ah, thanks, i didnt know that | 04:27 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: im trying to test throughput of network interface card (wired or wireless) | 04:27 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: then why test across the internet? your internet connection would be the bottleneck wouldnt it? | 04:27 |
| Gasseus | so try connecting to the 192.168 or 10.0 IP instead of 127.0.0.1 | 04:28 |
| Sidvee | grumpy, Gasseus My wireless light is blinking when ever there is data transfer. Instead it was static with white light before. How to fix this bug? | 04:28 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: yes it lower than the speed of ethernet or wlan link | 04:28 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: hence my advice to test it between two machines connected back-to-back | 04:28 |
| Gasseus | Sidvee Don't involve me in something I'm clueless about | 04:28 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: how ot use iperf on a wlan router. can we test the data rate of a wlan router with that tool? | 04:28 |
| grumpy | Sidvee: thats probably going to be a kernel issue, it affected my girlfriend as well, and that is a very involved fix. i suggest filing a bug on launchpad.net and hopefully it will get fixed "soon". | 04:29 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: yes, just put the wlan router in between the two machines | 04:29 |
| g0rs | phlak_user: can you think of the other machine as your wlan router? | 04:29 |
| grumpy | Gasseus, phlak_user: it looks like its listening on port 43595, which I dont remember setting it up that way... | 04:29 |
| usr13 | phlak_user: g0rs Or just connect directly. | 04:29 |
| Sidvee | grumpy, thanks. :) | 04:30 |
| phlak_user | g0rs: no you cant; cos the specs are different for both | 04:30 |
| Gasseus | grumpy... looks like your connect request, which means ssh isn't online | 04:30 |
| Sidvee | Gasseus, never mind. Am not alone in this clueless world | 04:30 |

| ngc0202 | Heya | 04:38 |
| ngc0202 | Just got IRSSI, testing it out | 04:38 |
| ngc0202 | just got Ubuntu as well | 04:39 |
| Guest13790 | phlak-user: I checked 'leave mail on server'. Is that the right one? | 04:39 |
| phlak_user | Guest13790: yes i believe that is the one | 04:39 |
| ngc0202 | Some things I'm very excited about, some things I was a bit dissapointed with | 04:39 |
| schredder | ngc0202: new to both irssi and ubuntu? | 04:39 |
| qin | ngc0202: Sweet. try: /script load nm.pl | 04:39 |
| Guest13790 | phlak_user: ok, so the only way to get my mail back to my account is to forward them to myself? All 326? | 04:40 |
| ngc0202 | schredder: yes | 04:40 |
| ngc0202 | qin: what is that? | 04:40 |
| Corey | qin: nm.pl? | 04:40 |
| qin | ngc0202, Corey: Colorfull intended nicks. | 04:40 |
| phlak_user | Guest13790: maybe; i am not aware if hotmail can import archived mails (which is another option) | 04:40 |
| ngc0202 | :O | 04:41 |
| phlak_user | qin: advising people to load scripts is not very safe | 04:41 |
| ngc0202 | How to unload? | 04:41 |
| Guest13790 | phlak_user: Ok, well thanks for your help. | 04:41 |
| ngc0202 | Although I think I like it | 04:41 |
| phlak_user | Guest13790: yw | 04:41 |
| qin | phlak_user: /script unload nm.pl | 04:41 |
| schredder | ngc0202: /scripit unload nm.pl | 04:41 |
| qin | ngc0202: ^^^ | 04:41 |
| ngc0202 | haha ok | 04:41 |
| schredder | sans the t ypo | 04:41 |
| ngc0202 | I was taking a Terminal tutorial earlier, very cool | 04:42 |
| qin | phlak_user: Well, yes. | 04:42 |
| ngc0202 | Very powerful, and I only scimmed it | 04:42 |
| ngc0202 | or skimmed | 04:42 |
| schredder | ngc0202: what is your usual OS of choice? | 04:43 |
| ngc0202 | I previously used Windows | 04:43 |
| ngc0202 | but I got Ubuntu yesterday, and havent used Windows yet today | 04:43 |
| qin | ngc0202: Feel better? | 04:43 |
| ngc0202 | I think I'm getting used to it | 04:44 |
| ngc0202 | I've been having some issues with mouse clicks though | 04:44 |
| eaglestar | can someone wit experience help me? i am trying to get my iomega prestige external hdd to work but when i plug it in it doesnt pop up | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | eaglestar: run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the drive listed? | 04:45 |
| ngc0202 | I'd best get some sleep now, night all | 04:45 |
| Shatters | Hey, is there a way that I can install programs to a specific directory on ubuntu, because I haven't been using it long enough to know where they're stored. | 04:45 |
| ngc0202 | Actually I might wait to hear that answer | 04:45 |
| brian_ | Phlak_user: still here? | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Shatters: the package system means you dont need to, its all handled for you | 04:45 |
| eaglestar | ActionParsnip, no i dont | 04:46 |
| Shatters | hmm, but I want to specify if possible | 04:46 |
| DasEi | Shatters: most executables are found in /usr/bin sbin, the packet decides where it installs to | 04:46 |
| eaglestar | ActionParsnip, i was reading it has to do with ntfs for some reason | 04:46 |
| Shatters | I'm running Ubuntu 10 (lucid) on a SDXC card with 4gig system file and a 58 gig encrypted partition and want to install to the encrypted partition. | 04:47 |
| DasEi | Shatters: then you will have to make up dirs manually and compile it.. until the next backup ..and path variable | 04:47 |
| DasEi | backup = update* | 04:48 |
| brian_ | Hi all. I tried Evolution and messed up. I ended up emptying my Hotmail account. I stored it locally. Anyway to get it back into my Hotmail? | 04:48 |
| phlak_user | brian_: yes | 04:49 |
| magn3ts | brian_, and that's why hotmail/pop are evil. | 04:49 |
| RamtinA | hello.how can i creat a l2tp vpn connection in ubuntu?sorry i can't search it in google (filter :( ) | 04:49 |
| magn3ts | brian_, take it as an opportunity to move away from hotmail. | 04:49 |
| brian_ | Hi Phlak_user. I had an idea. What if I used Thunderbird and imported from Evolution? Would that put everything back in Hotmail? | 04:50 |
| magn3ts | brian_, no. | 04:50 |
| brian_ | magn3ts: I don't have many choices. | 04:50 |
| magn3ts | You'd need to be able to access hotmail from Evolution and copy the emails back up. | 04:50 |
| magn3ts | brian_, I'd recommend connecting via IMAP and then uploading them. | 04:50 |
| magn3ts | And not use pop going forward. | 04:50 |
| brian_ | magn3ts: I'm really a noob. | 04:51 |
| Shatters | DasEi, would using wine make this possible? or any easier? | 04:51 |
| phlak_user | brian_: theres another option; apparently hotmail sends them to the trash folder which might not be empty; so you can go to trash and mark them as unread (or move to inbox) | 04:51 |
| magn3ts | brian_, I've had too many drinks to give a step by step, sorry. :[ | 04:51 |
| phlak_user | brian_: http://www.computerforum.com/155523-import-mail-into-hotmail.html | 04:51 |
| lanaiz | how could i write a script to unrar everything in a folder and then move that folder to another folder? | 04:52 |
| brian_ | magn3ts: no prob. phlak_user, I'll have a look at that link. Thanks | 04:52 |
| phlak_user | brian_: ok | 04:52 |
| brian_ | phlak_user, my trash is empty. No luck. I guess I'll just have to go through the monotonous process of forwarding them all back to myself. | 04:54 |
| RamtinA | can you help me ? how can i creat a L2TP VPN connection? | 04:54 |
| new_user | hi to all, How to install all package in a ubuntu DVD? | 04:55 |
| phlak_user | RamtinA: you need to be more specific; do you want to setup the server end or a client; what have you done till now etc | 04:55 |
| RamtinA | phlak_user:client | 04:56 |
| DasEi | Shatters: sorry, was away for a moment, why not just use the 58g for regular install ? | 04:56 |
| Shatters | I would have liked to, but running linux live by booting from the sd card in usb reader it only allowed me to create 4gig system file, per FAT32 | 04:57 |
| qin | lanaiz: for i in *.rar; do unrar e $i; done; mkdir ~/unrars; mv * ~/unrars; Test it first. | 04:57 |
| Shatters | running persistent | 04:57 |
| phlak_user | RamtinA: what is at the server? what is the authentication mechanism? | 04:57 |
| qin | lanaiz: This fail to whits, me thinks. | 04:57 |
| qin | *whites | 04:58 |
| RamtinA | phlak_user:i don't now but they told me i should creat L2TP connection | 04:58 |
| new_user | Can any one help me about how to install all packages in a ubuntu DVD | 04:58 |
| eaglestar | can anyone help me with booting my external iomega prestige 1tb hdd? | 04:58 |
| DasEi | Shatters: you could then make subdirs on the 58g and add them to your fstab , then rsync stuff over | 04:59 |
| DasEi | plus you need an luks-command in your initrd | 05:00 |
| RamtinA | new_user: in terminal : " sudo apt-cdrom add " then "sudo apt-get update" | 05:01 |
| ActionParsnip | lanaiz: for i in *.rar; do rar x $i; done is a good start | 05:01 |
| DasEi | Shatters: can't you boot from the 58g ? | 05:01 |
| new_user | tnx RamtinA | 05:01 |
| RamtinA | new_user: your welcome :) | 05:01 |
| phlak_user | RamtinA: i could find only one *working* l2tp client for gnome (other than lvpnc for kde) -> http://code.google.com/p/vpnpptp/ | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | lanaiz: the guys in #bash will be able to help better | 05:02 |
| new_user | bye all | 05:02 |
| RamtinA | phlak_user:Your client does not have permission to get URL /p/vpnpptp/ from this server. | 05:02 |
| Shatters | I created two partitions on the drive after realizing it would only allow 4gig system file and just created a logical partition with the rest. | 05:02 |
| Shatters | so when sd is read on comp only primary shows up and is like 4 gig. | 05:03 |
| qin | ActionParsnip: I think moving rars before unpacking is logical, but I am tied, very much. | 05:03 |

| dospod | http://ompldr.org/vYWx3bA anybody know how to get a setup like this | 05:06 |
| Shatters | need to reboot. | 05:06 |
| somsip | dospod: that looks like a tiling window ,amager, such as dwm, awesome or...the other one | 05:07 |
| RamtinA | phlak_user:now that is filter | 05:07 |
| schredder | somsip: screen, or tmux? | 05:07 |
| somsip | somsip xmonad is the other one. I suppose it could be screen, but I've not used that. the top menu looks like a tiling WM to me | 05:08 |
| dospod | hmm | 05:08 |
| dospod | I'm trying to mostly text based on my old laptop at home | 05:08 |
| RamtinA | phlak_user:but i have pptp connection and that is very slow . | 05:08 |
| phlak_user | RamtinA: hmm? | 05:08 |
| somsip | dospod: don't think you can get multi windows except in X. Maybe a very low footprint WM would be required? | 05:09 |
| dospod | I don't mind that I have the power for it | 05:09 |
| RamtinA | phlak_user:i'm from Iran and i can't access that page | 05:09 |
| dospod | but I want to get more efficient in the command line so I figured the more I have to use it the better | 05:09 |
| phlak_user | RamtinA: oh | 05:09 |
| somsip | Then the 3 I mention sem to be the popular ones. Depends what you're after and how cuting edge/unsupported you want to go | 05:09 |
| somsip | dospod: look in the top left window of the screenshot :) | 05:10 |
| Canid | Hello, can anyone help me figure out why ripperx won't start? | 05:18 |
| Canid | I just installed it | 05:18 |
| RamtinA | phlak_user:now i downloaded that with my friend help but it is PPTP connection isn't there L2TP connection? | 05:19 |
| Canid | The first time I tried running it, it asked me if I wanted to create a config file for the program, I said yes, and after that clicking on the application did nothing | 05:19 |
| Canid | Hello? | 05:21 |
| daiwalkr | Looks like everyone went to bed. | 05:22 |
| somsip | daiwalkr: it does get quite this time of day - much of the west is asleep | 05:23 |

| somsip | Canid: Out of politeness, I'll confirm that I can't. | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Canid: launch it in a terminal, the output will help | 05:25 |
| Canid | To launch from a terminal, you just type in the program name and that's it, right? | 05:25 |
| daiwalkr | Canid: Also rename the config file to **.backup and try restarting it. | 05:25 |

| Canid | I typed that into the terminal and hit enter two minutes ago, and it's still stuck there - it hasn't done anything yet | 05:27 |
| Canid | Hasn't given me a new command line, hasn't given me any feedback | 05:28 |

| RodrigoG | I need some help with graphics | 05:35 |
| i_is_broke | ActionParsnip, why is that? is it not able to be used on 11.4? | 05:35 |
| RodrigoG | I'm currently using ubuntu's liveCD but the installed version has a driver problem with the video | 05:36 |
| faina | whats a good way to update to 11.10 and not overload the mirrors? My best effort was bittorent the cd, extract the debs and feed them into approx? | 05:36 |
| Canid | Nope, still won't start | 05:36 |
| Canid | strabo 2895 1 0 01:35 ? 00:00:00 ripperx | 05:36 |
| daiwalkr | try deleting .ripperx from your home directory (or renaming it to .ripperx.old | 05:37 |
| RodrigoG | Can anyone help me? | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | i_is_broke: its not compatible with natty. It's also not in the natty repos so is not supported here, the guys in #ubuntu+1 may be able to help | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | RodrigoG: please give details | 05:38 |
| Canid | Where in my home directory would it be | 05:39 |
| RodrigoG | I have ubuntu 10.04 Lucid installed, with a ati FirePRO 2450 Multiview. I'm a real n00b when it comes to ubuntu but I had a misconfiguration issue earlier and my boss yelled at me to fix it | 05:39 |
| Canid | Do I reinstall it from synaptic after renaming it? | 05:39 |
| daiwalkr | right in the root. If you do a ls -l -a you should see it. | 05:40 |
| RodrigoG | I tried deleting the driver following some instructions but apparently they were incomplete as I now have a black screen when booted | 05:40 |
| daiwalkr | cd ~ will take you right to your home directory | 05:40 |
| daiwalkr | It won't delete the software from your system. It just deletes the config file it tired to create. | 05:42 |
| Canid | Why can't I see it from Nautilus? | 05:42 |
| daiwalkr | If I remember right Nautilus hides the . files. They are suppose to be hidden by default. | 05:43 |
| daiwalkr | Don't quote me on that though. Memory is getting bad. | 05:43 |
| openvoid | Ctrl+H to show .files in Nautilus | 05:44 |
| Canid | Okay... so, working from the terminal, what's the command to rename .ripperXrc | 05:44 |
| sastrone | mv .ripperXrc .ripperXrc.bak | 05:44 |
| daiwalkr | rn .ripperXrc .ripperXrc.old | 05:45 |
| Canid | The program 'rn' can be found in the following packages: | 05:45 |
| Canid | * trn | 05:45 |
| Canid | * trn4 | 05:45 |
| sastrone | use mv | 05:45 |
| phlak_user | Canid: its "rm" as in remove | 05:45 |
| sastrone | he wants to rename it | 05:46 |
| Guest40876 | how do I view a .dmp fille? | 05:46 |
| phlak_user | sastrone: oh then its mv as in Move | 05:46 |
| Canid | Okay, I renamed it | 05:46 |
| sastrone | phlak_user: I know, that is what I was telling him :P | 05:46 |
| phlak_user | Guest40876: is it like a core dump? | 05:46 |

| anandvenkat4 | Can anyone tell me the best channel for Mac related queries./ | 05:47 |

| Canid | gyah! I am having such a rotten time trying to get a decent CD ripper. | 05:48 |
| Canid | Nothing works | 05:49 |
| daiwalkr | I am at a loss at this point. Go through the same process of deleting the file and killing it. Then run it from the terminal. It should give you some output hopefully when it crashes. | 05:49 |
| Canid | I don't like having to reboot on Windows to do this basic stuff... I know Linux is capable | 05:49 |
| AlexLibman | I messed up and ran `usermod -G wheel username` instead of -Ga, so `sudo` doesn't work anymore. | 05:49 |
| AlexLibman | In rescue root shell, `usermod` says can't lock on to /etc/passwd | 05:50 |
| Canid | It's not crashing. I have "strabo@DRAGON:~$ ripperx" in the terminal and hit enter and it's just sitting there, doing nothing | 05:52 |

| Canid | What, you mean "sudo ripperx" ? | 05:55 |
| Guest40876 | phlak_user, Its a dump from a game running under wine ...Sorry for the late reply | 05:55 |
| daiwalkr | yes | 05:55 |
| phlak_user | Guest40876: what do you expect to learn from it? | 05:55 |
| Canid | Okay, I'll try that... | 05:55 |
| damno | anyone? | 05:55 |
| Guest40876 | phlak_user, Hoping to find out why the game is not running | 05:56 |
| phlak_user | damno: not via packages; you can install one and download the other manually and run from there | 05:56 |
| Canid | sudo ripperx is just hanging there as well. No good | 05:57 |
| AlexLibman | Do I still do that from the rescue root shell? Do I remount the root partition as rw? | 05:57 |
| phlak_user | Guest40876: core dumps are generally in hex; and make sense more to debuggers/developers; you could use gdb to load the dump or a hex editor to view it | 05:57 |

| SetiAmon | ok.I'm running firestarter but there doesn't appear to be a "training" mode in firewalls like i'm used to? | 06:00 |
| RodrigoG | is there a way to access a recovery menu? maybe do a rollback? | 06:00 |
| faina | airtonix: dpkg --status <package name> | 06:01 |
| rjlc78 | ? | 06:01 |
| airtonix | faina: cheers | 06:01 |
| Canid | I give up. I can't lose any more sleep over this tonight | 06:01 |
| RodrigoG | there is another problem, when I access the terminal what do I do? | 06:01 |
| Canid | Adiue people. Thanks for trying to help... | 06:01 |
| RodrigoG | bye Canid | 06:01 |
| daiwalkr | Good night Canid. | 06:02 |
| kfizz1 | I'm trying to install the latest vs of graphviz via the .deb, but I get "Dependency is not satisfiable: libgs8". I have libgs9 installed, is there anyway to resolve this? | 06:02 |
| phlak_user | RodrigoG: you could boot from the livecd and select recover a broken system | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | airtonix: apt-cache policy packagename | 06:03 |
| airtonix | ActionParsnip: :) | 06:03 |
| RodrigoG | phlak_user: I see, I have the installation dvd which gives me live access (where i'm at | 06:03 |
| RodrigoG | ) | 06:03 |
| RodrigoG | but it didn't show any option to repair | 06:04 |
| phlak_user | RodrigoG: what were the grub options on that DVD? | 06:04 |
| phlak_user | RodrigoG: grub *menu* options | 06:04 |
| RodrigoG | phlak_user: you lost me there, total n00b here | 06:04 |
| RodrigoG | oh, menu options were try ubuntu(livecdish) or install | 06:05 |
| AlexLibman | I wasn't able to fix the problem I caused with `usermod -G wheel username` by running `usermod -G username username` - still says username not in sudoers. All I did to /etc/sudoers is uncomment the wheel line. What am I supposed to do exactly? | 06:05 |
| RodrigoG | phlak_user: when I try install it says something about installing both on the same drive or deleting old installation and using the whole hard drive | 06:06 |
| AlexLibman | Also... I got myself banned from the official Ubuntu forums for ranting (on appropriate threads) about Copyfree licenses being superior to Copyleft. Now I have no place to get support for my system76 laptop... Any suggestions for getting myself unbanned? | 06:07 |
| Woohooo | is there a tool on linux that allows viewing of gpu card details like gpu-z does on windows? | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | AlexLibman: i'd ask in #ubuntuforums maybe | 06:07 |
| AlexLibman | ActionParsnip: thanks | 06:08 |
| wartrend | who is your isp alexlibman | 06:08 |
| AlexLibman | wartrend: since I make no effort to mask my IP, why would you need to ask? | 06:09 |
| phlak_user | AlexLibman: do you have this in your sudoers -> %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL | 06:09 |
| wartrend | join the ubuntu irc and ask in there. only a 1000 people in there | 06:09 |
| wartrend | well if you got a big isp like say comcast you can change your ip | 06:10 |
| wartrend | lol | 06:10 |
| phlak_user | AlexLibman: and this -> %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 06:10 |
| wartrend | wrong window lol | 06:10 |
| Telroth | Why does smart think that 75 million read errors is normal? | 06:10 |
| phlak_user | AlexLibman: and ensure that username is member of admin in /etc/group | 06:10 |
| wartrend | omg. i feel like an idiot | 06:10 |
| MonkeyDust | wartrend: you are ;) | 06:11 |
| wartrend | thank you | 06:11 |
| bambanx | what software allow to edit multiples images? | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | bambanx: gimp can edit as many images as you want | 06:12 |
| RodrigoG | bambanx: GIMP | 06:12 |
| kfizz1 | bambax, imagemagick allows some command line options to edit a batch of images. | 06:13 |
| AlexLibman | Nevermind, I didn't modify /etc/sudoers, so, yes, that line exists as in the original. | 06:13 |
| bambanx | thanks | 06:13 |
| kfizz1 | Been a while since I've used it, tho, so I probably wouldn't be much specific help. | 06:13 |
| Shatters | so, I somehow lost admin privileges on ubuntu default account. not sure what to do. | 06:13 |
| RodrigoG | phlak_user: any suggestions? | 06:13 |
| AlexLibman | Ah, the "admin" is the group I want. I thought it was same groupname as the username. So just `usermod -G admin username`? | 06:14 |
| phlak_user | RodrigoG: when did you install the OS? | 06:14 |
| AlexLibman | wartrend: I might be a Copyfree """troll""", but I never sockpuppet. | 06:14 |
| wartrend | not sure what you mean? | 06:15 |
| wartrend | I don't pull on my ding dong | 06:15 |
| RodrigoG | I don't even know, it's a workstation at my workplace, it's been installed since before I started working here a year ago | 06:15 |
| AlexLibman | wartrend: You suggested that I create another forum account to bypass the ban, like by using a proxy. I have an ethical policy against that. I always use my real name online. | 06:15 |
| phlak_user | RodrigoG: is there an option to upgrade your install to 11.04? cos 10.04 is at EOL | 06:16 |
| wartrend | nice | 06:16 |
| RodrigoG | Not with the cd I have, and not if it means data loss | 06:16 |
| bambanx | rawtherapee its nice | 06:16 |
| wartrend | AlexLibman nothing wrong with a fresh start bro. | 06:17 |
| RodrigoG | phlak_user: not with the cd I have and not if it means data loss | 06:17 |
| wartrend | I had to reset my IP a few times to do bans on IRC Servers. | 06:17 |
| AlexLibman | The reason why I ran `usermod -G wheel` in the first place is when rsync'ing files to a BSD machine the group gets changed. I guess I should simply run rsync with --no-g instead. | 06:18 |
| phlak_user | RodrigoG: guess not | 06:18 |
| orated | While creating LiveISO or LiveUSB, how is swap size decided? Or is it required? | 06:18 |
| AlexLibman | I don't want a fresh start, and I haven't done anything terribly wrong. It's the left-wing political bias on that forum that's the problem. | 06:19 |
| RodrigoG | phlak_user: thanks anyway, I'll see about killing myself now :P xD good luck to all! | 06:19 |
| orated | I don't have to worry about it as the application/command will write the image but does swap comes anywhere in the process? | 06:19 |
| wartrend | I know how you feel ALexLibman. I hate that | 06:19 |
| RodrigoG | Goodbye everyone! | 06:20 |
| mekwall | hey! how do I best troubleshoot a insanely slow ssh connect? I mean, once I am connected it is fast, its just the negotiation that is slow. | 06:20 |
| wartrend | night | 06:20 |
| AlexLibman | (And it was so long ago I hardly remember the details. You can still find the posts via http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=965147 ) | 06:20 |
| paulus68 | mekwall is that slow to every connection that you make? | 06:21 |
| glebihan | orated, on a live usb, the system will use any swap space available on the file system, if there is none, it won't use any. No swap space is usually created on the live usb itself | 06:21 |
| faina | mekwall: ssh -v, though when I have that problem its usually something is making a dns request and its failing over to another dns server | 06:21 |
| mekwall | paulus68, nope, only to this one server... weird thing is, it goes fast to connect to from my windows machine | 06:21 |
| phlak_user | mekwall: if you start the connection with a -v, the verbose messages might throw up some clues- maybe its waiting for something to happen | 06:21 |
| nixjr | can i plug/unplug sata hdds while my system is running, if im not r/w to them? | 06:22 |
| mekwall | wow :) thanks for the quick response paulus68, faina, phlak_user ... will check it out :) | 06:22 |
| faina | mekwall: it helps to ask questions that have frustrated other people too ;) | 06:23 |
| orated | glebihan: System will use any space available on the fc created on usb? | 06:23 |
| orated | fs | 06:23 |
| faina | nixjr: I think the answer is sometimes... depends on the hardware | 06:23 |
| glebihan | orated, on the whole file system actually. If you have a swap partition on your hard drive it will be used | 06:23 |
| mekwall | phlak_user, paulus68, faina: http://pastie.org/2636180 | 06:23 |
| mekwall | that's where it is slow | 06:24 |
| mekwall | when it goes to public key it just flies | 06:24 |
| orated | glebihan: What in cases where linux is installed on usb? | 06:24 |
| nixjr | faina, guess ill play ti safe and it it the long way then, this is all my data im talking about lol | 06:24 |
| phlak_user | mekwall: turn off gssapi in ssh_config or sshd_config if youre not using it | 06:24 |
| faina | mekwall: that looks like its timing out looking for the GSS components | 06:24 |
| glebihan | orated, as I said, if there is no swap partition available, it won't use any swap | 06:24 |
| JokesOnYou77 | hi all. Can anyone help me write a script for a remote machine so that it will automatically execute a command when I ssh in? | 06:25 |
| mekwall | phlak_user, faina: indeed :) thanks! going to disable it | 06:25 |
| orated | glebihan: Yes, that was for LiveUSB/LiveCD case but if linux is installed on usb formatting it to extx, then also the same applies? | 06:26 |
| === GNUdog_ is now known as GNUdog | ||
| glebihan | orated, yes. It applies in all cases (even if you install on a hard drive actually). Swap space is not required, so if there is none, none is used | 06:27 |
| nixjr | im planning on formatting and reinstalling ubuntu, I have a dual monitor setup configured just the way I like it, which file(s) should I backup to keep this configuration? | 06:27 |
| glebihan | orated, the only difference between liveUSB and actual installation is that the live USB will use any swap space available, whereas an install will only use the swap space it was told to use at installation time | 06:27 |
| orated | glebihan: Ok, thanks. But usually while installing linux on HDD (probably also for SSD), it asks to create swap otherwise installer will crash or the system will be unstable | 06:28 |
| glebihan | orated, no it shouldn't crash. Creating swap space is highly recommended but not necessary | 06:29 |
| orated | glebihan: Alright, thanks | 06:29 |
| glebihan | orated, you're welcome | 06:29 |
| The_BROS | My hotkeys intomboy dont work. How can I fix that? | 06:29 |
| kokabiel|ngopi | Hello everybody :D | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Hi kokabiel|ngopi | 06:32 |
| kokabiel|ngopi | what the topic today? | 06:33 |
| DoverOs | After uninstalling pulseaudio in unity the sound menu went away. How do you get it back? | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | kokabiel|ngopi: same as every day - ubuntu support | 06:33 |
| nixjr | im planning on formatting and reinstalling ubuntu, I have a dual monitor setup configured just the way I like it, which file(s) should I backup to keep this configuration? | 06:33 |
| kokabiel|ngopi | Wew | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | nixjr: which video chip do you use and how did you configure it? | 06:34 |
| nixjr | ActionParsnip, i configured it via a text file but i dont recall where or what the file was called, its nvidia | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | nixjr: does /etc/X11/xorg.conf ring a bell ;-) | 06:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: back up everything in /etc | 06:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: my /etc is only 16 megabytes | 06:37 |
| agu_ | hi | 06:38 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: actually you should really be backing up everything in /etc and /home on a regular basis, to save yourself frustrations later | 06:38 |
| kokabiel|ngopi | ActionParsnip: any idea how to configur ATI Radeon on kernel3? | 06:38 |
| nixjr | i backup home, but thats all, dont really understand the rest of the directory structure | 06:38 |
| nixjr | ActionParsnip, thanks, that was what i was looking for | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | kokabiel|ngopi: kernel 3 isn't supported here | 06:39 |
| kokabiel|ngopi | Wew | 06:39 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: /home contains per-user settings, /etc contains systemwide settings (in general). | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | kokabiel|ngopi: if you are using oneiric, you are supported until release day in #ubuntu+1 | 06:40 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: so if you set up a samba share (file sharing with windows/other types of computers), the settings would go in /etc/samba | 06:40 |
| kokabiel|ngopi | ActionParsnip: my os have built in kernel3 | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kokabiel|ngopi: then its not ubuntu | 06:41 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: you can't go wrong backing up /etc, it's very tiny. Here's my backup list: /home, /etc, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin (the latter two are for scripts, you can skip them if you didn't write any) | 06:41 |
| nixjr | Shirakawasuna, ah ok, well my /etc is only 13mb so thats not a problem to backup | 06:41 |
| kokabiel|ngopi | ActionParsnip: here only talk ubuntu? | 06:42 |
| soreau | nixjr: xorg.conf is probably the main file you want to backup X driver config settings | 06:42 |
| hexacode | anyone know where i save ttf files? im installing fonts except i foget which foldr to put them in | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | kokabiel|ngopi: yes | 06:42 |
| soreau | kokabiel|ngopi: Yes, this is the official support channel for ubuntu | 06:42 |
| DoverOs | does anyone know what the sound menu is packaged in? | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !fonts | hexacode | 06:42 |
| ubottu | hexacode: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 06:42 |
| soreau | DoverOs: Look at the packages that were removed when you uninstalled pulseaudio | 06:43 |
| nixjr | Shirakawasuna, is there a simple way to output the contents of the "applications" menu in gnome? theres a bunch of applications ive added over time that wernt in there to begin with | 06:43 |
| kokabiel|ngopi | ActionParsnip: how about another distro? | 06:43 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: /var/log might also be useful if you ever want old logs. I don't know if you do. | 06:43 |
| soreau | kokabiel|ngopi: ##linux might be of help | 06:43 |
| nixjr | cant hurt | 06:43 |
| kokabiel|ngopi | soreau: thanks | 06:43 |
| SigmaWP | Yes, finally! A logged channel! | 06:43 |
| * SigmaWP proceeds to take a screenshot | 06:43 | |
| DoverOs | soreau: I reinstalled them, so it must have been something outside of the normal package setup.. | 06:44 |
| * soreau poses | 06:44 | |
| SigmaWP | Say hello everyone :D | 06:44 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: that should be in your user's home directory. I don't remember exactly where they're kept by gnome, but probably somewhere in .config or .local. I would check ~/.local/share/applications | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | nixjr: its great backing up xorg.conf. install driver, restore file and restart x. Nice | 06:44 |
| soreau | DoverOs: Not sure but if you're using 11.10, you should ask in #ubuntu+1 | 06:44 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: The nice thing is when you need no xorg.conf because you use an open driver that justwroks | 06:45 |
| siksi | what could cause debus to function incorrectly? if i select, say, places -> home folder it says "Opening <username>" for a little while and then just disappears - nautilus never appears. ditto for rest of places | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | kokabiel|ngopi: only official ubuntu releases from canonical are supported here. Other distros have their own channels | 06:45 |
| * SigmaWP presses print screen | 06:45 | |
| siksi | s/debus/dbus/ | 06:45 |
| SigmaWP | Done :P | 06:45 |
| siksi | launching nautilus with dbus-launch seems to work, however | 06:45 |
| DoverOs | soreau: I just installed ubuntu 11.04, didnt change any repos | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Soreau: true, when they work well (closed or open) | 06:46 |
| W43372 | I upgraded from XP to 7 and now I can't share files between my Desktop and my netbook running Natty. | 06:46 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: You always need an xorg.conf file installed for closed proprietary blobs | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Soreau: | 06:46 |
| soreau | ! smaba | W43372 | 06:46 |
| soreau | ! samba | W43372 | 06:47 |
| ubottu | W43372: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Nvidia worked without when i was on CRT | 06:47 |
| susundberg | soreau: huh -- i have ati proprietary without any xorg.conf | 06:47 |
| soreau | susundberg: Really? Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? | 06:47 |
| nixjr | i did "sudo cp /etc/ /some/other/place" but it says cp: omitting directory `/etc/' | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kokabiel|ngopi: which distro are you on and I may be able to point you to the relevant channel | 06:47 |
| soreau | nixjr: cp -r | 06:47 |
| nixjr | soreau, ah thank you :) | 06:48 |
| susundberg | soreau: sure: http://pastebin.com/5qQAPkyq | 06:48 |
| W43372 | soreau I already have Samba on this netbook. The only thing that changed is the computer with Windows on nit | 06:48 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: don't use cp for backups, there's better options | 06:49 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: rsync is the best, in my opinion. | 06:49 |
| soreau | susundberg: must be ubuntu patches because X will not load a proprietary driver without being specifically told (via xorg.conf) | 06:50 |
| nixjr | Shirakawasuna, im just doing this once manually before I format, but ill keep that in mind for later | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Shirakawasuna: cp is fine for a one off archive | 06:50 |
| soreau | susundberg: I notice ubuntu's X checks for fglrx even if it's not installed | 06:50 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: This is the type of command I use: rsync -avz --progress --delete --numeric-ids /etc /backup/ . Notice that /etc has no trailing slash and /backup/ does. This is important. | 06:50 |
| susundberg | soreau: might be very well so .. don't know | 06:50 |
| === SigmaWP is now known as __future__ | ||
| __future__ | Hmph, it's registered. | 06:50 |

| katsrc | hey are there any good blogs to follow for ubuntu news | 06:51 |
| katsrc | i mean i hate these omgubuntu posts everywhere | 06:51 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: for example, if I used cp to back up my music and had a crash, I'd never know which ones were the latest ones added. | 06:51 |
| __future__ | katsrc: You can always look here :) | 06:51 |
| soreau | katsrc: You probably should hate blogs then, too | 06:52 |
| katsrc | omgubuntu makes the ubuntu community really look silly | 06:52 |

| ActionParsnip | W43372: win7 samba is nee | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | New | 06:53 |
| soreau | katsrc: The internet is full of ubuntu everything. To my knowledge, there are no official ubuntu blogs | 06:53 |
| nixjr | Shirakawasuna, interesting, ive migrated data onto newer hdds many times over there years and just took it as a given that id reset all timestamps in the process | 06:53 |
| === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler | ||
| ActionParsnip | W43372: which system is sharing the files? | 06:54 |
| katsrc | soreau: there ought to be, like with GNOME community they have this circle of blogs | 06:54 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: rsync is magic :) | 06:54 |
| Shirakawasuna | nixjr: it can also work over the network | 06:54 |
| * ActionParsnip uses a cron'd cp job to backup | 06:55 | |
| faina | katsrc: what about planet.ubuntu.com? | 06:55 |
| W43372 | ActionParsnip I want to be able to share files between the two, to have each box see the others shared folders | 06:55 |
| W43372 | But currently neither one is showing up on the other | 06:55 |

| mcgoofy | hi | 06:59 |
| Geoffrey2 | Shirakawasuna, looks like it | 07:02 |
| Shirakawasuna | Geoffrey2: does it list the availability of any partitions like /dev/sdb1? | 07:02 |
| Geoffrey2 | Shirakawasuna, http://pastebin.com/nw8M7JF2 | 07:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | Geoffrey2: it doesn't say anything about sdb1 or sdb2 later on? | 07:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | Geoffrey2: does sudo fdisk -l say anything about sdb? | 07:06 |
| Geoffrey2 | Shirakawasuna, hmmm, sg3, sg4, sg5, sg6, and sg7? | 07:06 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'm not sure what those are, actually | 07:06 |

| paulus68 | I have a backup script which is functioning correctly however after a complete backup my drive is full and I don't have any free space left, | 07:09 |
| Shirakawasuna | Geoffrey2: he ehci_hcd and usb-storage messages are a good sign. They're usb modules (drivers) for usb and storage, respectively | 07:10 |
| paulus68 | is there a way to create a script that checks the diskspace and if I don't have enough free space that the largest file is moved to another drive | 07:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | Geoffrey2: I don't really know how to deal with /dev/sg nodes, but it appears you may be able to figure out what they mean and map them to other nodes for easier use | 07:10 |

| arkiver | is there any tweak i can use? | 07:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | paulus68: du -sh (or just du -s) will give you the size of files. If you're talking about doing this in a single directory, you could probably bash script it - have it check every minute or something (or on a cron job). If it's systemwide, you're going to need a specialized tool of some kind to check for the 'largest file' in the system. | 07:12 |
| Shirakawasuna | soreau: yes | 07:12 |
| soreau | Shirakawasuna: how? where? | 07:12 |
| Gentoo64 | soreau, right click the page | 07:13 |
| Gentoo64 | view page source | 07:13 |
| Shirakawasuna | that ^ | 07:13 |
| Shirakawasuna | looks like view > page source is gone though, I panicked too soreau | 07:13 |
| soreau | ah yes, thanks Gentoo64 | 07:13 |
| houtyl | i want to switch to english | 07:13 |
| houtyl | but i don't find the right button | 07:14 |
| Shirakawasuna | arkiver: you probably need power management stuff of some kind. See if anyone with your same laptop needed any more modules to be loaded | 07:14 |
| ActionParsnip | houtyl: switch what to English? | 07:14 |
| soreau | Shirakawasuna: Yea that's where I remembered seeing it | 07:14 |
| houtyl | the whole ubuntu-system | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | houtyl: regional settings maybe.. | 07:15 |
| houtyl | i don't find regional settings | 07:17 |
| nergal_ | hi, would updating the DNS servers in resolv.conf affect the service uptime for a server? (switching between two pair of active DNS servers) | 07:18 |
| nergal_ | My guess is not, just want to make sure | 07:19 |
| SwedeMike | nergal_: update only changes if you reboot. | 07:19 |
| soreau | houtyl: Try gnome-language-selector | 07:19 |
| GirlyGirl | Hi I would like to know how to force an unvavailable resolution for a tv connected via VGA on a laptop | 07:19 |
| SwedeMike | nergal_: and no, it shouldn't be service affecting, it'll change immediately when you save the new resolv.conf file | 07:20 |
| nergal_ | SwedeMike: what? A reboot is required for changing dns-servers? | 07:20 |
| SwedeMike | nergal_: you used the word "uptime". | 07:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | houtyl: this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/session-language.html | 07:20 |
| SwedeMike | nergal_: uptime is something specific here, it's not "service is available" | 07:20 |
| nergal_ | service uptime yes | 07:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | but it's a little outdated | 07:20 |
| SwedeMike | nergal_: don't use "uptime", it's confusing. | 07:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | houtyl: basically search the app lens for 'session' or 'language' | 07:20 |
| SwedeMike | nergal_: $ uptime | 07:20 |
| SwedeMike | 09:20:54 up 205 days, 21:51, 7 users, load average: 0.06, 0.10, 0.09 | 07:20 |
| SwedeMike | nergal_: that is "uptime". | 07:21 |
| arkiver | Shirakawasuna, i am not sure of anyone else using the same laptop . But before ubuntu i used mint10 and i had the same issues. | 07:21 |
| arkiver | a solution is to use a cooling pd | 07:21 |
| paulus68 | Shirakawasuna: the thing is that I need to check this after the backup script has run if I don't have any or no space left I want to create a script that is going to move the file towards the new location | 07:21 |
| arkiver | *pad | 07:21 |
| nergal_ | well, I guess you understood what I meant :) | 07:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | arkiver: by someone else, I mean google for the exact model and find someone else who wrote a guide. Hopefully there's one out there and they talk about power management or acpi | 07:22 |
| SwedeMike | nergal_: yes, eventually. | 07:22 |
| arkiver | also if anyone here is using ubuntu on a laptop, can u tell me what temperatures do your laptops work on? | 07:22 |
| arkiver | Shirakawasuna, okay i think i can do that | 07:22 |
| arkiver | Thanks | 07:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | arkiver: sure thing. It's annoying to search, but it's the most useful thing imo :/. It's how I got acpi working on my thinkpad before the support was automatic in the kernel. | 07:23 |
| faina | arkiver: it really depends on the laptop design & how well the power management is enabled. | 07:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | arkiver: also my thinkpad runs really cool. | 07:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | arkiver: also see if there's any processes running that are making your processor run all the time, which will heat up your system (use top) | 07:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | paulus68: You don't want to run into a situation where you're actually out of space on either drive. It will corrupt parts of the filesystem. You want something that will check the space available and do the safe thing. | 07:26 |
| arkiver | I had that. Top shows nothing more than 10% of CPU usage | 07:26 |
| phlak_user | soreau: Go to tools-Web developer-view page source (ctl+u is a shortcut) | 07:26 |
| faina | arkiver: also look into powertop | 07:26 |
| arkiver | I'm wondering whether 50-60degrees is normal temp for laptops? | 07:26 |
| faina | its not uncommon | 07:27 |
| faina | is that surface temperature or cpu temperature? | 07:27 |
| faina | also is that a desktop replacement style laptop? | 07:27 |
| soreau | phlak_user: Yes, it is there indeed. Thanks | 07:28 |
| phlak_user | soreau: yw | 07:28 |
| arkiver | CPU temperature | 07:28 |
| arkiver | faina, Is it safe to use Powertop? it needs root privileges! | 07:29 |
| Geoffrey2 | Shirakawasuna, hmm, apparently /dev/sg2 is mapped to /dev/scd1, but when I try to mount scd1, I get an error that says there is no medium on /dev/sr1 | 07:30 |
| linxeh | some laptops hit 90c | 07:30 |
| phlak_user | Geoffrey2: thats the cdrom | 07:31 |
| faina | arkiver: I've run it and haven't observed anything going wrong, though I haven't done a security analysis | 07:31 |
| drussell | arkiver: it's pretty safe afaik | 07:35 |
| paulus68 | Shirakawasuna: I know however it's on an external hard drive and (yes I have to replace it with a bigger one) but in the mean time I need to keep an eye on it | 07:36 |
| faina | G'night | 07:36 |
| gvandeweyer | where/how do I tell dpkg that I have python2.6 instead of python2.7 as default on my system? I need to install some older deb and dpkg complains about the python version. | 07:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | buh, wha? I plug in my headphones, audio goes out in my speakers (correct behavior), but no sound to the headphones (incorrect behavior) | 07:38 |
| GirlyGirl | gvandeweyer: Can't find a newer deb | 07:38 |
| GirlyGirl | gvandeweyer: What are you installing exactly | 07:38 |
| gvandeweyer | GirlyGirl: I need the older version (dependencies) | 07:38 |
| houtyl | now i translated ubuntu into english | 07:39 |
| GirlyGirl | gvandeweyer: What is it you are installing | 07:39 |
| houtyl | but firefox is still german | 07:39 |
| houtyl | do i need another package? | 07:39 |
| phlak_user | gvandeweyer: you could do a "force" install or "no-deps" | 07:39 |
| GirlyGirl | phlak_user: That would probably break things | 07:39 |
| szal | houtyl: prolly firefox-locale-en | 07:40 |
| gvandeweyer | GirlyGirl: it's a lucid deb on a natty system of python-rpy. I need the older version of R (bioconductor version, needs to be in sync with some LTS lucid systems,), so the newer python-rpy tries to update r-base, which is not allowed | 07:40 |
| marcreichelt | hi there! | 07:40 |
| marcreichelt | I need to reset my Empathy program, but I don't know how | 07:41 |
| marcreichelt | is there anything I need to do beside removing ~/.mission-control and ~/.config/Empathy? | 07:41 |
| gvandeweyer | phlak_user: no-deps is not recognised or in dpkg man | 07:41 |
| GirlyGirl | gvandeweyer: Can't you upgrade the lucid systems as downgrading python on Natty can have bad consequences and break Ubuntu components | 07:41 |
| Geoffrey2 | phlak_user, duh, I see it, sg3 is the card reader, sg2 is the cdrom.... | 07:41 |
| gvandeweyer | GirlyGirl: there is no LTS yet after lucid | 07:41 |
| marcreichelt | because Empathy keeps asking me for Accounts and seems to remove/add accounts on its own, and I don't know how to reset it to the beginning | 07:42 |
| GirlyGirl | gvandeweyer: Or you can downgrade the natty system maybe | 07:42 |
| gvandeweyer | GirlyGirl: and the natty is my desktop pc, which was not hardware supported by the LTS lucid | 07:42 |
| gvandeweyer | I tried all :-) | 07:42 |
| houtyl | szal: sry i don't understand | 07:42 |
| szal | houtyl: what's there to understand? | 07:43 |
| houtyl | where do i have to click? | 07:45 |
| termitor | hello | 07:45 |
| gvandeweyer | phlak_user: the force-depends options seems to have done the trick. thanks for the tip | 07:46 |
| phlak_user | gvandeweyer: yw | 07:46 |
| gvandeweyer | GirlyGirl: btw: natty still does not support the dell optiplex 990. I can not turn the system off/reboot. it hangs on the splash screen. | 07:47 |
| * szal will not point houtyl to a tutorial on how to install packages | 07:49 | |
| GirlyGirl | gvandeweyer: maybe shutdown with "sudo init 0" | 07:50 |

| drussell | 0902 here :o) | 08:03 |
| stianhj | never mind, found the user-dirs.dirs file | 08:04 |
| drussell | stianhj: no, it's all case sensitive, however if you don't want to use anything that refers to them currently, sure, knock yourself out, | 08:04 |
| drussell | stianhj: can always change them back if you find something's not working | 08:04 |
| stianhj | drussell: there's an file which specifies the names, so if you change locale, they have different names.. XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR=$HOME/Downloads for en_US, or =$HOME/Nedlastinger for nb_NO | 08:05 |
| stianhj | so i guess i can change them there to my liking :) | 08:05 |
| AdvoWork | hi there, i've got a user running a client machine with ubuntu on it, 99% of the time it boots up in the mornings, and works(in terms of connects to internal websites on the network and external(google), but every now and again, its turned on, and neither work. After a few minutes it auto comes on or after a reboot. Any ideas? I've copied all effected logs from today, but can't see anything | 08:08 |
| ikonia | probably just a bit slow getting a dhcp request | 08:08 |
| ikonia | eg: when the lease expires, may take a little longer to get the address renewed hence why it starts working all of a sudden | 08:09 |
| sio3 | if a special key on a keyboard doesn't work who fixes those things? where would i report such a bug | 08:10 |
| ikonia | sio3: depends on why it doesn't work | 08:10 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, any way I can confirm that from logs or? | 08:13 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: syslog may show the time stamps on the request from dhcp | 08:14 |
| sio3 | ikonia: :) i need a real hacker | 08:15 |
| ikonia | sio3: no, you need to ask realistic questions | 08:16 |
| sio3 | ikonia: and how would i know if my question was "realistic"? | 08:18 |
| ikonia | sio3: well, making pointless statements about needing real hackers when you don't even know the problem is just a waste of my time | 08:18 |
| AdvoWork | ikonia, it does show: Oct 4 08:53:45 ubuntu4 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 but sureley that would be 255.255.255.0 ? also, i've got like 20 clients, it only does it on this one :S | 08:19 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: that's just a broadcast, so it's fine | 08:19 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: it may just be slow auto negotiating the network speed too, | 08:19 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: just work it through eliminating the obvious stuff as you go | 08:20 |
| sio3 | ikonia: you have no social skills i see | 08:20 |
| ikonia | sio3: no, I just don't have time to waste with silly comments when I'm offering my help to someone | 08:21 |
| sio3 | ikonia: nobody is forcing you to help; if you don't want to help don't. | 08:21 |
| ikonia | sio3: hence why I'm not | 08:22 |
| baheer | how can I set an IP address as manually? | 08:22 |
| Hyperbyte | sio3, what ikonia means is that it helps greatly if you write in here -which- key isn't working, and -what- you expect it to do. | 08:22 |
| Gentoo64 | baheer, in the network manager set manual | 08:22 |
| ikonia | baheer: be careful though, if you're on a dhcp network that may cause you a problem | 08:22 |
| Hyperbyte | sio3, if you feel more comfortable writing it in a bug report, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 08:22 |
| sio3 | Hyperbyte: i'm trying to get it fixed permanently ... if i can figure out how. i'm looking through some documentation now i just found on debugging such keys. thanks for the info. | 08:23 |

| CyborgSmurf | can anyone help me with soundissues after hybernation? | 08:42 |
| sammy | so here's one i almost surely know the answer to already: I'm using PA to pipe sound from a desktop across the room (with the large screen) to the lappy on my lap (with my headphones plugged in). when I watch video, I can sync up the audio, but pulseaudio wants to play every bit of audio for me, even when it becomes lagged. is there any better solution with pulseaudio? maybe including jack in the mix? id be okay with PA 'dropping frames' as it were, to s | 08:44 |
| Fudge | hi does ubuntu support Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12) | 08:44 |
| sammy | he says to surely nobody since there arent many english speaking nations with the sun over it right now | 08:45 |
| sammy | Fudge: looks like you got that from lspci? | 08:45 |
| Fudge | sammy yes | 08:46 |
| Fudge | and sammy the sun is nearly down in australia | 08:46 |
| touchpad | sammy, you can do that with jack only, no need for pulseaudio | 08:46 |
| touchpad | iirc jack has simple clients for udp/tcp transport over a network | 08:47 |
| touchpad | still iirc it had some small lag but you can correct this by adjusting A-V in your movie player | 08:48 |
| SDASD | 123 | 08:48 |
| SDASD | 213 | 08:49 |
| sammy | touchpad: interesting. I wanted to watch this episode now, but I might look into it. | 08:50 |
| sammy | Fudge: can you get a vendor and product ID from lspci -v ? you should be able to google for general device support in linux with that information. is it not working out of the box for you, then? | 08:50 |
| touchpad | these are part of the clients that come with JACK when you install it I think | 08:51 |
| touchpad | not sure 100% | 08:51 |
| touchpad | ye, at the time my idea was to play mp3's from one PC on several PCs :D | 08:53 |
| sammy | I might be able to use vlc to stream only the audio, i do have VLC installed on both machines | 08:54 |

| gigenieks | OK I found this about CS 1.6 ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9197497&postcount=2 | 10:00 |
| gigenieks | "That's because Counter-Strike 1.6 must be run directly from Steam" - can someone explain? | 10:00 |
| ljsoftnet | i think you can run CS 1.6 with good FPS, i've tried it before | 10:00 |
| FreeWilly | phlak user are a bot? | 10:01 |
| lunitik | otacon: not really, pulse can do real time audio, but that is jackd's speciality | 10:01 |
| theadmin | gigenieks: ...Steam is the place where you have bought Counter-Strike | 10:01 |
| theadmin | gigenieks: We do not support pirated editions, nor does Wine | 10:01 |
| lunitik | otacon: so they are really targeting different tasks, but both _can_ function as the software mixer, certainly | 10:02 |
| ljsoftnet | theadmin wine is in the repos why wont you support it here? | 10:02 |
| otacon | lunitik: Thanks man, some good insight right there. | 10:02 |
| theadmin | ljsoftnet: We do support Wine, we just don't support pirated software. | 10:02 |
| gigenieks | what is the differance of those both CS? | 10:02 |
| ljsoftnet | theadmin i dont think using wine is piracy | 10:02 |
| tomodachi | ljsoftnet: well wine itself "works" right? but all applications that hypothetically can work is another matter... | 10:02 |

| adammw111 | Hi. How can I install the latest version of adobe-flashplayer 11.0.1.152 for Ubuntu? | 10:04 |
| atomms | i'll try that, just a second | 10:04 |
| wk | anyone can help me with sound? i'm a decent experienced linux user but my sound dissappeared after a reformat, no idea why. i have a ALC889A soundcard. | 10:04 |
| lunitik | adammw111: if it isn't in the archives, I would suggest trying just the version that is there... otherwise, you can download it and throw the file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, restart the browser and it should work for all users | 10:05 |
| ljsoftnet | adammw111 whats new in flash 11? | 10:05 |
| wk | ljsoftnet: 7,1 surround ;) | 10:05 |
| ljsoftnet | wk ah | 10:05 |
| adammw111 | I'm not sure, I was hoping some sort of hardware acceleration but gotta install to find out I guess. | 10:05 |
| wk | now my sound works - turns out the system sounds isn't playing properly. | 10:06 |
| lunitik | wk: lsof /dev/snd/* <-- maybe something else is hogging the sound system other than pulse? | 10:06 |
| adammw111 | I was expecting that 11 would be in the archives, the flash download page tries to install via apt but doesn't seem to work. | 10:06 |
| atomms | loggint out and in worked, one more question, does a file needs to be executable to be packed with tar? | 10:07 |
| theadmin | atomms: Um, no | 10:07 |
| lunitik | atomms: no, tar doesn't care what files are, everything is just a file to it | 10:07 |
| === Martin_ is now known as BlaDe^ | ||
| adammw111 | It opens: apt:abobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner but all I keep getting is "Use this source" in software center | 10:07 |
| lunitik | adammw111: agree to use the source? | 10:08 |
| adammw111 | lunitik, yeh, the ubuntu-partner source, but then it just reloads the repo and doesn't install. I'm guessing that they haven't been uploaded yet. | 10:09 |
| atomms | lunitik: i'm using a php script to pack some files with tar and only works when permissions are 7 and not 6 ;( any ideas? | 10:09 |
| lunitik | adammw111: search adobe-flashplugin - it'll prolly be version 11.0.whatever you said now ;0 | 10:09 |

| melvincv | Anyway, I need to import a vcard address book from evolution to thunderbird. Please help me. | 10:13 |
| lunitik | melvincv: it is because natty is old and you likely don't have backports enabled (I assume 7.0.1 will be in there since it is in oneric) | 10:13 |
| testing | ljsoftnet: i want to proceed with out cel number.. can i ? | 10:13 |

| atomms | lunitik: when the file has 760 users of that group cannot tar, after running php it says "permission denied" (with 770 the php runs OK though) | 10:14 |
| lunitik | melvincv: in "Software Sources" on the first tab there is a backports section | 10:14 |
| theadmin | moneo_: route add -net your.sub.net.here dev eth0 | 10:14 |
| theadmin | moneo_: Will route it trough the first adapter | 10:14 |
| moneo_ | thanks theadmin, I'll give it a shot! :) | 10:14 |

| jrib | Tixos: you can check http://bugs.ubuntu.com for known bugs | 11:05 |
| meways | ikonia: o.O | 11:05 |
| paulus68 | phlak_user: problem is here that the name of the file may change it could be saterdays backup or a complete backup so the best way is in my opinion to check how much space there is available if less then x search for the largest file on that location and move it to a new one | 11:05 |
| meways | ikonia: the concept is new to me | 11:05 |
| oxidizer | hi | 11:06 |

| phlak_user | cutiyar: what version of ubuntu do you have? | 11:11 |
| cutiyar | phlak_user, 11.4 | 11:11 |
| aujohn | does ubuntu 11.10 released? | 11:11 |
| phlak_user | cutiyar: 11.04 you mean; why would you follow instructions for 9.10? | 11:11 |

| FreeWilly | (ive started in recovery mode coz it was hanging at boot up on a ubuntu purple screen with a loading thingie) | 11:14 |
| FreeWilly | and it hanged there for 30min | 11:14 |
| cutiyar | phlak_user, sorry yes i did all | 11:14 |
| cutiyar | phlak_user, but in step 2 nothing was my file (nm-system-settings.conf) | 11:15 |
| phlak_user | cutiyar: phew; i would suggest that you uninstall the network-manager (sudo apt-get remove network-manager); remove the PPA entries from /etc/apt/sources.list; then sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install network-manager | 11:16 |
| phlak_user | cutiyar: once all of this is done; we can setup your DSL connection again | 11:16 |
| cutiyar | phlak_user, ok will notice you again .. | 11:16 |

| paulus68 | phlak_user: what would the command be to check the filesize in a specific dir in my it's /media/backup1/backups | 11:20 |
| phlak_user | tarerulz: yw | 11:21 |
| phlak_user | paulus68: you mean the size of the entire directory? | 11:21 |
| paulus68 | phlak_user: no the filesize within that directory | 11:22 |
| phlak_user | paulus68: du -sh directory should return 2G directory (2G is an example) | 11:22 |
| phlak_user | paulus68: filesize within the directory? you mean the individual sizes of each file? | 11:23 |
| paulus68 | phlak_user: yes | 11:23 |
| phlak_user | paulus68: remove the s; du -h directory gives you a list of all files with their sizes (can be used in a for loop) | 11:23 |

| arovij | Hi I need help with sources.list file. I am running 'sudo apt-get build-dep firefox' and error msg is "unable to find a source package for firefox-3.0" . What should be correct entries in sources.list file? | 11:27 |
| oYeVoVeYo | Does anyone know how to stop the ssh on ubuntu?? | 11:27 |
| oYeVoVeYo | I got it running and now I don't know how to stop it | 11:28 |
| mobal | hi | 11:28 |
| rigved | oYeVoVeYo: sudo service ssh stop | 11:28 |
| rigved | oYeVoVeYo: or sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop | 11:29 |
| oYeVoVeYo | stop: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.193" (uid=1000 pid=8973 comm="stop) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Stop" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")) | 11:29 |
| oYeVoVeYo | What that? O.o | 11:29 |
| oYeVoVeYo | Okay, let me try that | 11:29 |
| paulus68 | phlak_user: how would I be able to determine the largest file within that directory? | 11:29 |
| oYeVoVeYo | The sudo one worked, thanks, rigved | 11:30 |
| cutiyar | phlak_user, i didnt remember to tell you if i uninstall network manager how i can download? now iam using another pc | 11:30 |
| glebihan | arovij, do you have a deb-src line in your sources.list | 11:30 |
| rigved | oYeVoVeYo: both the commands had sudo. | 11:30 |
| rigved | oYeVoVeYo: you are welcome. | 11:30 |
| oYeVoVeYo | Oh right -.-" I forgot to add on the sudo with the first one, I guess that's why it didn't work........anyway thanks really much :D | 11:31 |
| arovij | glebihan : Honestly I was doing a little trial and error and Now there are a lot of deb-src entries | 11:31 |
| glebihan | arovij, ok could you pastebin you sources.list file then so I can have a look ? | 11:31 |
| arovij | just a sec | 11:32 |
| arovij | glebihan : pastebin.com/10eKKghj | 11:33 |
| oYeVoVeYo | One more question, what does it mean why it says "stop: Unknown instance: " ??? | 11:33 |
| arovij | glebihan : sorry there is a type | 11:33 |
| rigved | oYeVoVeYo: that means that the service has already been stopped. | 11:33 |
| DasEi | arovij: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:33 |
| oYeVoVeYo | I just got it started.........o man, so it's like it automatically stopped | 11:34 |

| gamlikall | how are you hawk | 11:39 |

| hbo | jkh hello | 11:40 |
| DasEi | arovij: I could easily, but don't want to interrupt glebihan | 11:41 |
| glebihan | arovij, you didn't answer my question. Which version of ubuntu are you running ? | 11:41 |
| gamlikall | do not use the irc at all | 11:41 |
| arovij | I am running lucid.. | 11:41 |
| glebihan | arovij, then why do you have edgy, gutsy and hardy repositories set up ??? | 11:41 |
| arovij | yes because it wouldn't get the required libraries.. I thought may be adding older entries would help.. They didnot.. | 11:42 |
| === Robert_ is now known as Guest48816 | ||
| arovij | actually there were no entries in the sources.list. It's a virtual build env... | 11:43 |
| glebihan | arovij, it's always a bad idea to mix repositories from different versions | 11:43 |
| === JoFo__ is now known as JoFo | ||
| arovij | ok let me put in some more effort and try... I will get back soon... I will try without mix reps this time.. glebihan . thanks for your time.. will get back if I fail again. | 11:44 |

| cutiyar | phlak_user, i didnt remember to tell you if i uninstall network manager how i can download? now iam using another pc , what to do? | 11:45 |
| teddyroosebelt | are there any jacks or better video poker games out there for ubuntu or linux in general? | 11:45 |
| glebihan | arovij, your best bet would probably be to get back to a normal sources.list (with lucid entries) then download firefox4 source from mozilla's website and build from that | 11:45 |
| phlak_user | cutiyar: you can bring up your ethernet interface maually | 11:45 |
| phlak_user | cutiyar: you dont need network-manager for that | 11:45 |
| arovij | ok.. let me try that.. | 11:46 |

| phlak_user | gr33n7007h: the prinicpal is thus: find out which serial port the BT device is connected to- ttyACM0 or so; fire up minicom; set the serial port to the one you found out; set the serial port speed to the one supported by the device (9600, 19200 eetc) | 12:10 |

| xgt001 | Gentoo64, not slow video... video runs totally smooth but fans run very noisy | 12:38 |

| Gentoo64 | nvidia | 12:41 |
| Gentoo64 | i use the vdpau for mplayer, i think ati needs GL output | 12:41 |
| xgt001 | i am unlucky then i guess coz nvidia supported vdpau from long back... | 12:41 |
| xgt001 | i am doubtful about ati support | 12:41 |

| pc12 | where to look | 12:42 |
| pc12 | ? | 12:42 |

| pc12 | for the terminal.. sorry im newbie in linux since my friend said to try it.. and im starting to kinda like it | 12:47 |
| pc12 | jockey-gtk | 12:47 |
| xgt001 | Gentoo64, alright i just checked the aticonfig frequency gpu load was 60 percent when i played a hd video | 12:47 |
| pc12 | etc | 12:47 |
| xgt001 | may be thats the fault? | 12:47 |
| user1_ | zairo: asus 1215B | 12:47 |
| Gentoo64 | xgt001, ok thats good... but it wont use the gpu for mp3s.. | 12:47 |
| Gentoo64 | pc12, jockey-gtk is just the command to open the additional drivers thing | 12:47 |
| pc12 | a friend of mine named izhar who is i think a dev in fedora or centos | 12:48 |
| Gentoo64 | but like i said you are probably better off with the built in nouvea driver for that card as its more reliable | 12:48 |
| pc12 | where i can get other codes to learn them | 12:48 |
| pc12 | ^_^ | 12:48 |
| zairo | user1, usually problem happens is rare case. most of the laptop got no issue. | 12:48 |

| xgt001 | Atharva, alright ... ok this worked for me too... in grub menu press ctrl-x and then add nomodeset parameter during boot...it should boot with ati driver | 14:28 |
| xgt001 | Atharva, that had worked for me | 14:28 |
| lunitik | AdvoWork: what kind of work will you do on the box? how much ram is on the box? there are a lot of factors | 14:28 |
| Atharva | <xgt001> : Which laptop/desktop do you have ? | 14:29 |
| lunitik | AdvoWork: normal desktop with >2gb RAM prolly doesn't need any swap at all | 14:29 |

| DasEi | lunitik: see own post,I easily fill 4 | 14:30 |
| munzxttt | phlak_user : thanks! | 14:31 |
| AdvoWork | DasEi, ie a double of what ram im using? | 14:31 |
| DasEi | AdvoWork: y | 14:31 |
| AdvoWork | lunitik, basically, it will be a server, running the latest ubuntu server version, acting as a database system (running postgresql, apache, php pretty much) thats it | 14:31 |
| lunitik | AdvoWork: expected a lot of users or not really? | 14:32 |
| detly | is this the place to ask installer questions? | 14:32 |
| lunitik | detly: sure | 14:32 |
| AdvoWork | lunitik, also, got 30gb free on this server, and 9gb free(18gb already used), so im gonna allocate say 15gb, and dunno what ram yet, theres approx 20 users using the system all the time, so possibly yeah, i want it to be pretty quick, if its gonna cause a prob, i'd rather buy more memory, | 14:33 |
| DasEi | AdvoWork: it really depends on your scenario, doing things like vm's while browsing and calc on another edge easily wastes ram, some chat while watching tv an browse will need no high memory ammounts | 14:33 |

| AdvoWork | DasEi, its basically just one of our 6 Vm's that all users will connect to(php front end, connecting to postgresql) basically a quoting system | 14:35 |
| AdvoWork | thats it | 14:35 |
| detly | basically, I'm coming from debian to ubuntu, and I usually run testing (with a bit of unstable)... when I install a new system, I use the net installer for testing | 14:36 |

| pc12 | i tried installing my video card driver and clicked recommended but after rebooting.. my desktop starts to flicker only on reboot.. | 15:06 |
| pc12 | so i have to reinstall ubuntu all over again | 15:06 |
| MonkeyDust | pc12: just reinstall root (/) | 15:06 |
| tsaknorris | MonkeyDust, i know..i was at wrong room. when i open my xchat it will open these rooms automatic and i was writing that to other room when it came here :) | 15:06 |
| DasEi | pc12: no, but your config might need some tuning | 15:07 |
| pc12 | i cant tune it DasEi since my desktop are flickering like showing on and off.. | 15:07 |
| pc12 | all of it | 15:07 |
| lunitik | pc12: So you can see nothing on the screen? Or its just the graphic when the system goes down that looks funky? | 15:07 |
| otter_ | hello? | 15:08 |
| Poophead | Just a newbie, willing to take my lumps...I logged on here yesterday with problems related to a display malfunction...Discovered (belatedly) by reading that I had picked the wrong time( and didn't do my homework) to install a partial upgrade...Did another thru terminal mode this morning and all is well (so far)... | 15:08 |
| otter_ | hey. i've never used irssi before | 15:08 |
| DasEi | pc12: you can, by first going to cmd-line, and by chance your driver is even enabled already | 15:08 |
| otter_ | this is kinda cool | 15:08 |
| pc12 | when its fully boot.. my whole ubuntu screen goes crazy that it show on and off.. | 15:08 |
| * lunitik wonders if GRUB accepts something "single" with upstart? | 15:08 | |

| pc12 | that comes out after lsmod | 15:09 |
| DasEi | lunitik: yep, one time or persitent ? | 15:09 |
| lunitik | pc12: hmmz... rmmod nouveau && addmod nvidia (should already be installed I think) | 15:10 |
| lunitik | DasEi: One time, so we could get pc12 to a CLI and fix the issue, but I guess he's already at a CLI? | 15:10 |
| pc12 | my board has buil in video card but im using a agp 256 kinda old hehe | 15:10 |
| antnash | Alright guys. Should I use 32 or 64 bit for a file server? Needs NFS, SSH, VNC and a LVM disk setup | 15:11 |
| DasEi | lunitik: no, boot regulary to the end, press Ctrl+alt+F1 | 15:11 |

| pc12 | huh? | 15:12 |
| pc12 | dont get it sorry | 15:12 |
| lunitik | pc12: well, nouveau apparently doesn't like it... it could be better to use nv.... nvidia is the official driver from them | 15:12 |
| DasEi | pc12: no, boot regulary to the end, press Ctrl+alt+F1 | 15:12 |
| pc12 | i press that? | 15:12 |
| pc12 | but i dunno how to go back | 15:13 |
| AdvoWork | lunitik, fail on my behalf, swap was refering to HD, not memory :S what would u recommend for HD swap? if im allocating 15GB for the HD size | 15:13 |
| lunitik | DasEi: if he has access to the terminal (which I assume since he pasted a lsmod) its fine | 15:13 |
| pc12 | and what will i do to ctrl+alt+f1 | 15:13 |
| DasEi | antnash: your choice ; server I'd go 64 | 15:13 |

| pc12 | the terminal? | 15:14 |
| DasEi | pc12: like so | 15:14 |
| lunitik | AdvoWork: swap is like windows' page file... I would still recommend around 2GB along with the 4GB RAM as before... or a swap_file which is dynamic as needed | 15:14 |
| symaxian | Is there a way I can open gnome-terminal and give it a command to run when it opens, like: gnome-terminal "./test" | 15:14 |

| GRMrGecko | Hello. I have some MSI AIO computers that when on Ubuntu, it has a bug with the wifi, so I updated to the prerelease to fix that issue and now I'm having problems where the screen blacks out and sometimes freezes. | 16:03 |
| lunitik | pc12 said "wow its removing a bunch of stuff" and disconnected quickly... I guess he typed it wrong, but it will help my worries | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | kbroulik: cowabunga | 16:04 |
| GRMrGecko | I updated about 2 weeks ago, should I try updating again? | 16:04 |
| Emal | so no one has this problem on 11.04? | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Emal: when it starts again, run: dmesg | tail see if it gives clues | 16:04 |
| jola_ | GRMrGecko: check dmesg for errors | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Emal: I saw it in Oneiric in Alpha2 | 16:05 |
| Emal | what do you mean "when it starts again?" | 16:05 |
| melle | Hi all, upon boot my Ubunto will not load, instead it gives me a "Read error" PLEASE HELP! | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Emal: well you say it freezes for a few minutes, so it recovers, right? | 16:05 |
| Emal | yep | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Emal: so, is that it not 'starting again'? | 16:06 |
| jola_ | melle: check this http://goo.gl/Os998 | 16:06 |
| Emal | the mouse, keyboard, and headset are off for a couple mins | 16:06 |
| Emal | basically all USB connections are off | 16:06 |
| Emal | momentarily | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Emal: fine, but do you see what I mean now? | 16:06 |
| Emal | i understand, thank you | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Emal: you may want to make sure your BIOS is up to date | 16:07 |
| melle | jola_: thanks for the link, but I don't even have shell access i think... | 16:07 |
| melle | jola_: any advice? | 16:07 |
| GRMrGecko | jola_: Does dmsg only contain new info? | 16:07 |
| jola_ | GRMrGecko: yes | 16:07 |
| jola_ | melle: you should boot into livecd to run this script | 16:08 |
| GRMrGecko | so it archives after reboot | 16:08 |
| Emal | also I have not found a solution for my gpu issue | 16:08 |
| Emal | how do I "use" my driver, it says it is only activated | 16:08 |
| melle | jola_: ok thx, will create a live cd right away! | 16:08 |

| ActionParsnip | Emal: I suggest you read through: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:10 |
| melle | jola_: thx a lot! | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Emal: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 16:11 |
| jola_ | GRMrGecko: you could check this. After boot press ctrl+alt+f1 login into your account and enter sudo X -configure | 16:11 |
| GRMrGecko | jola_: I am not at the computers, they are 5 miles away | 16:12 |
| Emal | it still says it's not in use, ActionParsnip | 16:13 |

| GRMrGecko | this looks to be the same as the wifi problem I had before | 16:37 |
| GRMrGecko | why is it still poping up? | 16:37 |
| ubun | ActionParsnip: my device no are usb conecttion... only ethernet | 16:37 |
| GRMrGecko | Can I disable the wifi? | 16:37 |
| jola_ | Seven_Six_Two: run your ubuntu installation from usb then open terminal and enter sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 16:38 |
| jola_ | GRMrGecko: yes I saw it but I cant find error there I think, than your problem is concern with Xorg | 16:38 |
| jola_ | GRMrGecko: even if this is wifi error system should boot normally | 16:39 |
| GRMrGecko | jola_: what makes you think wpa_supplicant has to do with xorg? | 16:39 |
| w30 | rokra, call your script as aa\\nn instead of aa\nn | 16:40 |
| GRMrGecko | jola_: I believe the blacking out of the screen is the wifi issue poping up on the external display port. | 16:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | jola_, that did the trick. thanks! | 16:40 |
| jola_ | GRMrGecko: I not mean that. I think, that even if you have wifi error your system should boot normally (to xorg) | 16:40 |

| dr_willis | dualcore: cheese gives good video? and some other app dosent? | 16:46 |

| dualcore | no good video so far | 16:46 |
| dualcore | poor video so far | 16:46 |

| glebihan | DamienCassou, did you already create the ppa ? | 16:52 |

| detly | is there any way to get the 11.04 installer to use a local mirror instead of a US repo? | 16:54 |

| Corey | stephenthemartyr: Find another way to get it there, most email servers won't take anything over 20MB and WAV doesn't compress without reencoding. | 17:21 |

| Steve132-2 | On octave3.2 | 19:25 |

| Steve132-2 | jrib: I already have ubuntu installed | 19:30 |
| Steve132-2 | er | 19:30 |
| Steve132-2 | sorry | 19:30 |
| Steve132-2 | I already have octave3.2 installed. octave3.2 depends on the reference blas contained in the libblas3gf file. As an alternate, it can use the atlas blas found in libatlas3gf | 19:31 |
| jrib | Steve132-2: so install libatlas3gf using apt-get | 19:31 |
| Steve132-2 | I did | 19:31 |
| jrib | Steve132-2: great. Pastebin the command and full output | 19:31 |
| yaroslav0rudenok | remove libblas | 19:32 |
| Steve132-2 | theres no problem, it installed fine | 19:32 |
| yaroslav0rudenok | then install libatlas | 19:32 |
| jrib | Steve132-2: so what is your question? | 19:32 |
| yaroslav0rudenok | problem with octave -> using libblas rather then libatlas | 19:32 |
| Steve132-2 | because now I have libatlas and libblas installed simultaneously. That should be impossible because according to synaptic, libatlas3gf conflicts with libblas3gf | 19:33 |
| yaroslav0rudenok | emm | 19:33 |

| Steve132-2_ | jrib: fair enough, I have libblas 1.2-8 | 19:38 |
| Steve132-2_ | however, I still don't want libblas | 19:38 |
| jrib | Steve132-2_: state what you want :) | 19:39 |
| Starminn | Neocrypter: You could try Lubuntu or Xubuntu | 19:39 |

| Steve132-2_ | which seems wrong to me. Why would it remove atlas? | 19:40 |
| Somelauw | Preferably graphically. I know the default is metacity. | 19:40 |
| jrib | Steve132-2_: it doesn't seem to be removing atlas, just the -dev packages for it | 19:41 |
| LjL | NeedSomeHelp: it's possible that the photo is actually stored in landscape and only has a tag saying it's portrait... not sure though. maybe try opening it in the GIMP or Krita and seeing whether it really is in portrait | 19:41 |
| Steve132-2_ | jrib: I noticed that, but don't I want the -dev packages for it? | 19:41 |

| Steve132-2_ | I'm a C programmer in a scientific computing labratory | 19:42 |
| Steve132-2_ | so, yes, I have used the lapack headers before | 19:42 |
| jrib | Steve132-2_: if you're programming using libatlas in C then yes you want them | 19:42 |
| Steve132-2_ | right, so what gives? | 19:42 |
| Starminn | !persistent | irenaeus | 19:42 |
| ubottu | irenaeus: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 19:42 |

| Somelauw | I think I found it myself. | 19:43 |
| thyagu | hi | 19:43 |
| irenaeus | So persistent usb is what i need? | 19:43 |
| irenaeus | Awesome. Thanks. | 19:44 |
| jrib | Steve132-2_: anyway I imagine your real question since it seems you have a need for these headers is how to configure what libraries octave uses | 19:44 |
| Steve132-2_ | I can push off the need for the headers to another date. Are you suggesting that if I remove libblas3gf octave would be configured automatically? | 19:44 |
| jrib | Steve132-2_: probably | 19:44 |
| Steve132-2_ | If I have to choose between coding in C fast and coding in Octave fast I prefer octave | 19:44 |
| Steve132-2_ | ok, let me try that | 19:45 |
| jrib | Steve132-2_: you should check for documentation in /usr/share/doc/octave to see if there is anything relevant there | 19:45 |
| gr33n7007h | Sức mạnh của nguồn mở | 19:47 |
| jrib | Steve132-2_: are you sure octave doesn't choose atlas even if both are installed? | 19:47 |
| Steve132-2_ | yes | 19:47 |
| jrib | Steve132-2_: how? | 19:47 |
| Steve132-2_ | because I did ldd /usr/bin/octave | 19:47 |
| Steve132-2_ | and it shows me the link path of octave | 19:47 |
| Steve132-2_ | and it says its linking to libblas.so.3gf | 19:48 |
| Steve132-2_ | incidentally, after uninstalling libblas3gf package, it still says that | 19:48 |
| karen_m | whenever i plug my ipod in, it opens banshee... how do I redo that association so I can get it to ask again? | 19:49 |

| Steve132-2_ | no | 19:54 |
| Steve132-2_ | will do | 19:54 |
| Steve132-2_ | also, it looks like uninstalling it might have worked | 19:54 |
| Steve132-2_ | chasing down /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf its a soft link to /etc/alternatives/libblas.so.3gf | 19:55 |
| Steve132-2_ | which is a hard link to /usr/lib/atlas/libatlas_base.so.3gf | 19:55 |
| jrib | Steve132-2_: so you should be able to reinstall the blas package you removed if you need the headers and just use the alternatives system to make sure octave uses atlas | 19:56 |

| io | jarl: the exact error would be helpful | 21:46 |
| PanArtur | jarl: check your bios for battery calibration, and write what io: says | 21:47 |
| kasi | PanArtur, no, it's this: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hoL9qH83NDM/SRBtu1QpprI/AAAAAAAAAPs/-czZkaplBVQ/s320/Archive+Mounter+Popup.png | 21:48 |

| jarl | io: ok. I can not run my laptop on my battery anymore. It works fine with the AC connected - but there is no charche indication. It just seam to no longer recognice teh battery. SInce it happened at the same time as this mounting error on startup started to happen, I connected the two.I | 21:49 |

| Chorca | Anyone having issues with USB audio, popping and such noises? | 21:54 |
| PanArtur | Chorca: check your alsamixer | 21:55 |
| Gnea | Chorca: only when the volume is too high | 21:55 |
| jarl | io: Athe info says that last full capasity was 6.56 Ah and it is 87% of design capacity... | 21:55 |
| Chorca | It's a M-Audio Fast Track Pro | 21:55 |
| arkanabar | io: that seems to have worked. how do I set another one? | 21:55 |
| ptt | robin0800: thank you! : ) | 21:55 |
| jarl | io: ok. thanks. I will come back later. | 21:55 |
| Chorca | I can't control it through Alsamixer, just the controls on the box | 21:56 |
| Chorca | The problem happened on previous versions, and I could disable desktop effects and the audio poppage would go away | 21:56 |
| jarl | Thanks! | 21:56 |
| Chorca | tried that on 11.04, no joy, it's still happening when windows open/close, etc | 21:56 |
| Gnea | Chorca: then it's too high for the speakers, should be able to adjust the pulseaudio volume | 21:56 |
| io | arkanabar: sure. start a fresh | 21:57 |
| PanArtur | Chorca: alsamixer f6 and pick your card | 21:57 |
| Chorca | "This sound device does not have any controls." | 21:57 |
| arkanabar | io: reinstall? yech. | 21:57 |
| Gnea | !pulse | 21:57 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 21:57 |
| Chorca | Which it doesn't, it's just an audio interface, the volume controls and such are on the device itself. It's hooked up to to studio monitors and works okay in windows. I can change the pulseaudio volume in Sound Preferences, can try that | 21:59 |
| Chorca | nope | 21:59 |
| arkanabar | io: is there one app I need to reinstall? *that* at least is easy enough. | 22:00 |
| io | arkanabar: you can start a fresh keyring, I meant | 22:00 |
| Chorca | I was just wondering if anyone else had issues like this, maybe need to go to a realtime kernel or something.. Someone mentioned it might be a video card IRQ being higher than USB IRQ and preempting it.. | 22:01 |
| arkanabar | I actually use lxde, so the keyring app isn't in my menu. what's its command line name? | 22:01 |
| arkanabar | aha. I bet it's gnome-keyring! | 22:02 |

| princeES | I am struck middle of somewhere on the startup window of ubuntu 11.04 tty... Now whenever i try to open up startx ... it says server aborting.. connection refused ...and server error | 22:20 |
| princeES | any idea guys? | 22:20 |
| qin | SetiAmon: firestarter and ufw use different setting and are unlikly to run (properly) at the same time. | 22:21 |
| Jynx | so people... question. recently downloaded a software and the file permissions are set to root. wth? logged in as root -_- ... tried changing permissions to my user and it said that the 'error setting permissions: function not implemented.' any fix to this problem? | 22:21 |
| SetiAmon | i'm not running firestarter.i closed it | 22:22 |
| SetiAmon | I changed boot from firestarter to gufw's because i thought it might give me more control | 22:22 |
| Jynx | and prince, are u booting live cd? or full boot install? | 22:22 |
| qin | cantonic: Try to: Ctrl-l, adjust monitor settings, or use setupcon. | 22:22 |
| arkanabar | princeES, what happens if you hit ctrl-alt-f7? | 22:23 |
| qin | SetiAmon: firestarter is deamon, so: sudo service firestarter stop | 22:23 |
| princeES | <arkanabar> now i restart my PC by sudo reboot commad | 22:24 |
| cantonic | qin: ctrl-l just works temporary, but using vim it won't help… already tried to press some buttons on my monitor, but still the same. what is setupcon? | 22:24 |
| princeES | it really works | 22:24 |
| princeES | but.. i want to ask you something.. | 22:24 |
| arkanabar | princeES, that would be "sudo init 6". But ask your question first. | 22:24 |
| princeES | i have recetly download ubuntu 11.04 (latest one) | 22:25 |
| SetiAmon | qin:ah,I'll just reboot after downloads are done,i switched loadup on start gufw's instead of firestarer | 22:25 |
| princeES | whenever i restart my PC it shows me 2 different option to select which OS do you wnna to go for... | 22:25 |
| SetiAmon | anyone use SNORT | 22:25 |
| SetiAmon | i am downloading it now | 22:25 |
| qin | cantonic: It help to adjust console font and keyboard, but you may need to boot with different vga mode. | 22:26 |
| cantonic | qin: yeah, i think the same… i already tried some vga modes but none was good | 22:26 |
| arkanabar | princeES, that's your bootloader. what do you want to know about it? | 22:27 |
| SetiAmon | btw anyone have when they install ubuntu that they have to alt F6 or something to get to the graphical screen.thats very odd | 22:27 |
| princeES | there are like 4 different options ---- Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-11-generic, Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-11-generic(recovery mode), Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic and Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.38-8-generic(recovery mode) | 22:28 |

| genii-around | SetiAmon: Perhaps you need vt.handoff=7 in your grub line | 22:29 |

| boxybrown | Hi there, I did an apt-get upgrade and now I'm getting shared library errors | 22:29 |
| boxybrown | any suggestions? | 22:29 |
| princeES | after entering it .. and typing startx ----- it shows me server errors | 22:30 |
| arkanabar | that is your old kernel. it's a good idea to leave that available in case your new kernel fails to work. | 22:30 |
| princeES | what should i do | 22:30 |
| arkanabar | but if the 2.6.38.11 kernel is working, use it. | 22:30 |
| princeES | so cant i use old kernal... ? | 22:30 |
| arkanabar | you can safely ignore the older kernel entry. | 22:30 |
| arkanabar | there's not much point. | 22:30 |
| princeES | ok | 22:30 |
| princeES | :) | 22:30 |
| princeES | thanks... | 22:30 |
| boxybrown | specifically i get shutdown: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 | 22:30 |

| excelsior | suggestions for a machine with 256 megs of ram? | 22:40 |
| noisewaterphd | if you really don't want to just recycle it, you could try Lubuntu | 22:44 |
| kaushal | Hi | 22:45 |
| boxybrown | so everything I'm reading seems to indicate something 32bit is freaking out because this is a 64 bit library | 22:45 |
| noisewaterphd | there are plenty of other light linux distros that are great too, but you are on the Ubuntu channel | 22:45 |
| kaushal | can someone please suggest me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-October/252250.html ? | 22:45 |
| boxybrown | but that doesnt make sense because I installed a 64bit version of the OS, and am jsut running apt-get update | 22:45 |
| arkanabar | excelsior, if lubuntu is too big and bloated (heh), try lucid puppy | 22:45 |
| arkanabar | boxybrown, not all apps are ported to 64 bit yet; some (like wine) only run as 32 bit. | 22:46 |
| ghostnik11 | can someone tell me how to install cdrtools 3.01 | 22:46 |
| MonkeyDust | ghostnik11: if it is in the repos, use apt-get install | 22:46 |
| boxybrown | arkanabar: any suggestions why running an apt-get dist-upgrade would cause my install to become unbootable because of a shared library? | 22:47 |
| excelsior | lucid puppy? | 22:47 |
| noisewaterphd | boxybrown: if you have a 64bit OS, then you have probably installed some kind of 32 bit program running in compat. When you try to update it is probably telling you that you are trying to install something with the wrong arch. Deselect that particular 32bit program in your bulk update, then later on update that one yourself using dpkg --force-architecture or whatever | 22:47 |
| excelsior | arkanabar: lucid puppy? | 22:47 |
| jguzikowski | anyone know anything about BusyBox and why it'd pop up instead of booting Ubuntu? | 22:47 |
| Helsinkiii | does anyone know hw to enable live-preview in Texmaker? | 22:48 |
| ghostnik11 | monkeydust: yeah i know that way but don't think the new version is in repos, the readme file says it doesn't use configure command and just uses make command but i don't understand | 22:48 |
| noisewaterphd | excelsior: yes, that would be an excellent choice actually | 22:48 |
| arkanabar | excelsior, yes. puppy linux /w the Ubuntu Lucid kernel. fits on about a 100MB live CD | 22:48 |
| boxybrown | noisewaterphd: any good way to check which packages are 32bit and which are 64? | 22:48 |
| MonkeyDust | excelsior: the latest puppy is based on Lucid Lynx | 22:49 |
| arkanabar | Something else really different on the lightweight side is bodhi linux. But you'd better be ready to configure e17. | 22:49 |
| excelsior | I'm working with a nonprofit in NYC, and I'm thinking of getting rid of every box with less than 500 megs of ram. | 22:49 |

| boxybrown | noisewaterphd: I'd be really surprised if any 32bit applications were installed, this is a headless server install with very few packages, and everything was installed via apt-get | 22:56 |
| noisewaterphd | tsturzl: Got ATI now and got it working, but I like everything else about nvidia in linux better | 22:56 |
| noisewaterphd | boxybrown: what is the exact error message you are getting, if its very long use pastebin | 22:57 |
| tsturzl | arkanabar, the reason I'm having this problem is because I installed 280.xx, that didn't even display. So I'm going back to 173, but now that doesn't give hw acceleration like it did before | 22:57 |
| noisewaterphd | tsturzl: if you figure it out please please let me know, I've still got the card | 22:58 |
| arkanabar | tsturzl, I have no idea. | 22:58 |
| tsturzl | noisewaterphd: what exactly was your issue, and what card was it? | 22:58 |

| tsturzl | noisewaterphd: Don't use Nouveau, you can expect the project to have hardware acceleration done by the time robots rule the earth. | 23:12 |
| datakid | ie, fdisk on netbook - /dev/sdb1 exists, fdisk on server - nothing | 23:13 |

| datakid | th0r, dmesg| tail gives me nothing as well | 23:16 |
| datakid | I don't understand why one computer will see it and the other wont | 23:16 |
| boxybrown | is there any way to get a list of packages that shows which are 32bit and which are 64bit? | 23:16 |
| datakid | th0r, but it does show up in lsusb | 23:17 |
| tsturzl | noisewaterphd: Yeah Nv is the default driver for nvidia cards, you should uninstall that when you install your proprietary nvidia driver. Once you're done run nvidia-xconfig because anytime you install/uninstall any package related to xorg, your xorg.conf changes | 23:17 |
| th0r | datakid: if it shows in lsusb, it should show in messages. I am not real familiar with the hal system, or whatever replaces it nowadays | 23:18 |
| datakid | th0r, my bad sorry - it is turning up, but I'm looking for sdb 0 its coming up as sda | 23:19 |
| datakid | grrr | 23:19 |
| boxybrown | anyone? this seems like a pretty legitimate bug | 23:20 |
| th0r | datakid: you have hda as the main hd on the server, I bet | 23:21 |
| Pici | boxybrown: Why is that a bug? | 23:21 |

| rickyrich | macbook pro* | 23:31 |
| noisewaterphd | princeES: so for 64 bit flash on 11.04 I use the sevenmachines ppa | 23:31 |
| princeES | ? | 23:32 |
| noisewaterphd | princeES: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash, then sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer | 23:32 |
| noisewaterphd | perhaps someone could chime in on wether or not the sevenmachines ppa is still currently the best way to get 64 bit flash? | 23:33 |

| TechCel | why should this matter ? | 23:36 |
| barkode | with 10.4 i lost my video after standby. i just took standby out of all settings | 23:36 |
| TechCel | what do you mean out of all settings | 23:36 |
| TechCel | I don't like shutting down my computer every time. | 23:37 |
| rickyrich | anybody know how to setup the touchpad of a macbookpro with the last 11.04? | 23:37 |
| noisewaterphd | rickyrich: I havent done it with 11, but in 10 | 23:37 |
| noisewaterphd | rickyrich: search for macbuntu | 23:38 |
| barkode | maybe bootcamp? | 23:38 |
| rickyrich | thanks now i'm using an externa usb mouse.. | 23:38 |
| rickyrich | external* | 23:38 |
| barkode | tech, the idle processor power is probably good enuff to shut the screen off when your not using it | 23:39 |
| tsturzl | rickyrich: you want to use your trackpad? | 23:39 |
| noisewaterphd | rickyrich: no macbuntu | 23:39 |
| noisewaterphd | wrong thing | 23:39 |
| rickyrich | i need to use the built in touchpad because doesn't work properly | 23:39 |
| rickyrich | i install ubuntu 11.04 on my macbookpro | 23:40 |
| noisewaterphd | rickyrich: but there is an entire ubuntu site named something like that and it links to all of the drivers you need and tells you what works and what doesnt | 23:40 |
| TechCel | barkode: my computer can be noisy | 23:40 |
| rickyrich | well nothing upgraded for 11.04 distro :( | 23:40 |
| noisewaterphd | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-1/Natty | 23:41 |
| princeES | <noisewaterphd>I typed this command on terminal " sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash " and it gives me error | 23:41 |
| noisewaterphd | rickyrich: maybe one of those | 23:41 |
| tsturzl | rickyrich: try touchpad-indicator | 23:41 |
| rickyrich | noisewaterphd: thanks i saw it but doesn't talk about 11.04 | 23:41 |
| noisewaterphd | google.com | 23:41 |
| rickyrich | tsturzl: where cani download it? | 23:42 |
| noisewaterphd | not saying you havent already tried, but it should turn up something | 23:42 |
| noisewaterphd | talking to princeES | 23:42 |
| rickyrich | noisewaterphd: i searching about have already had the same problem | 23:43 |
| noisewaterphd | i dont know why you would get an error | 23:43 |
| noisewaterphd | rickyrich: i was talking to someone else | 23:43 |
| rickyrich | noisewaterphd: the built in touchpad about macbook pro doesn't work great for ubuntu :( | 23:43 |
| rickyrich | noisewaterphd: ok sorry | 23:43 |
| noisewaterphd | rickyrich: nope, I'm sorry | 23:43 |
| noisewaterphd | should've specified who I was talking to considering I was talking to you right before that | 23:45 |
| noisewaterphd | rickyrich: I know there isnt a lot of info on your problem, I went through the same thing on my macbook. But the good news is that, at least with 10.04, I was able to get everything working on my macbook pro with a little effort, and it made a great machine | 23:46 |
| OerHeks | maybe mactel pages are any help ? | 23:47 |
| rickyrich | noisewaterphd: i have this model of macbook pro but here is talking about and old release | 23:47 |
| OerHeks | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 23:47 |
| rickyrich | noisewaterphd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-1/Lucid | 23:47 |
| noisewaterphd | OerHeks: is that what they are called, mactel? haha i told him macbuntu trying to think of what they were named | 23:47 |
| OerHeks | mac-intel, funny yes | 23:48 |
| noisewaterphd | rickyrich: the mactel pages are what i was trying to think of earlier, identify your machine if you havent already and read through those | 23:48 |
| rickyrich | noisewaterphd: i've already identifi it is macbook pro 5,1 late 2008 | 23:49 |
| OerHeks | rickyrich, and the ppa does not apply to your system ? > https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support/+archive/ppa | 23:51 |
| rickyrich | noisewaterphd: here you have http://pastebin.com/K8Yf0ZvT | 23:51 |
| tsturzl | rickyrich: honestly you probably just have to troubleshoot synapticstouchpad, all those mac ubuntu pages are outdated | 23:51 |
| Logan_ | rickyrich: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-1_5-2/Natty | 23:51 |
| OerHeks | great Logan_ | 23:52 |
| rickyrich | Logan_: do you think that it will be ok for my macbookpro? | 23:52 |
| Logan_ | rickyrich: Yes. | 23:52 |
| TechCel | wow research shows no real fix for this | 23:52 |
| Logan_ | rickyrich: That guide seems to imply that the trackpad works out of the box. Are you sure you're running 11.04? | 23:53 |
| Logan_ | And did the trackpad work in Mac OS X? | 23:54 |
| TechCel | anyone ever run into issues with sound not working after suspend/hibernate / | 23:54 |
| rickyrich | Logan_: yes i'm completley sure | 23:54 |
| harushimo | how can I upgrade to the current version of eclipse on ubuntu | 23:54 |
| harushimo | ? | 23:54 |
| harushimo | the package that is available through apt-get is eclipse version 3.5.2 | 23:55 |
| Logan_ | !latest | harushimo | 23:55 |
| ubottu | harushimo: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 23:55 |
| Logan_ | rickyrich: Hmm. I'm not sure, in that case. | 23:55 |
| harushimo | ok | 23:55 |
| rickyrich | Logan_: but the two finger scrolling work ok but is to sensible and is impossible to move the window in the screen | 23:55 |
| Logan_ | rickyrich: So the trackpad is working? | 23:55 |
| rickyrich | Logan_: yes but not property | 23:56 |
| Logan_ | rickyrich: Did you try the settings at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-1_5-2/Natty#Trackpad ? | 23:56 |
| rickyrich | Logan_: i can move the row and normal click but i can't for eample move the windows in the screen | 23:56 |
| rickyrich | Logan_: not yet | 23:57 |
| === RTFMnow is now known as RTMnow | ||
| Logan_ | rickyrich: Apparently you can move windows with three fingers. | 23:57 |
| rickyrich | Logan_: woww it's working with three fingers :D | 23:57 |
| Logan_ | rickyrich: Awesome. :) | 23:57 |
| Logan_ | !sound | TechCel | 23:58 |
| ubottu | TechCel: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 23:58 |
| TechCel | did all of that | 23:58 |
| Logan_ | TechCel: The SoundTroubleshooting link has information about sound not working after suspend/hibernate. | 23:58 |
| TechCel | and it more or less says you're screwed :( | 23:58 |
| rickyrich | Logan_: great, which is the sequence to do a screenshot? | 23:59 |
