| catcher | jrib, thanks for the tip! | 00:00 |
| D10S | CIAO | 00:00 |
| tlambert | zromayn it keeps binary config files. It likes SIGHUP to tell it to reread its configs. | 00:00 |
| jrib | catcher: you might try #bash for other suggestions | 00:01 |
| zromayn | tlambert: in other words, there's no need to restart the service? | 00:01 |
| catcher | jrib, good call | 00:01 |
| tlambert | zromayn think about how it has to remember leases it has already granted. BTW, you will want to explicitly release and renew the lease on the client machine you are experimenting on to flush that out,. | 00:02 |
| thenickperson | I set Ubuntu's mouse cursor theme to dark, but the main (arrow) cursor is still white, while all others are black. How can I fix this? | 00:03 |
| tlambert | zromayn basically if it dies and comes back, it can't start granting the same leases that are already granted to new supplicants. | 00:03 |
| tlambert | zromayn so you have to signal it to reread rather than restarting,, and you have to explicitly release and reacquire from the client for the change to take effect for that client | 00:04 |

| prothon | I have a question for you all. Is there a way to install ubuntu 11.04 on an Western Digital EARS drive and keep the correct sector alignment? | 00:04 |
| zromayn | tlambert: got it | 00:05 |
| prothon | I realigned the sectors in fdisk (i think it was correctly aligned) but now i go to install and i'm worried that the alignment will well... dealign | 00:05 |
| crash1hd | Hey all after installing a new motherboard with new video drivers it seems that I am no longer able to boot into ubuntu nativly when I do I get the black screen and thats it | 00:06 |
| parapa | I'm trying to get a program to run in wine but it fails to load directx and the winehq people said I need 32bit opengl drivers, how can i figure out how to install those? I have a glxinfo output if that helps | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: Ubuntu's installer uses optimal allignment. | 00:07 |
| nibalizer | crash1hd: try booting with nomodeset | 00:07 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, Ah. I tried the alternate install first and it kind just pooped everywhere. | 00:07 |
| crash1hd | nomodeset? | 00:07 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, Thank you. | 00:07 |
| thenickperson | Can someone please help me with my theming problem? | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: "pooped everywhere"? | 00:07 |
| hobomo | i have an ssh server that isnt working. im not knowledgeable to figure it out myself, can anybody help? | 00:08 |
| indrajeet | cryptkeper not working properly | 00:08 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, Any file copying was just abysmal and I kept getting warnings they're not aligned by... well alot. | 00:08 |
| prothon | hobomo, Is it remote or local? | 00:08 |
| hobomo | local | 00:08 |

| crash1hd | nibalizer, I am on my laptop next to my ubuntu machine and I am at the prompt to choose which version of ubuntu to go into 11.04, kernel 2.6.39-0-generic or recovery or 2.6.38-9-generec or recover how do I boot into nomodeset | 00:09 |
| zromayn | tlambert: when you stated that the option goes in the scope, are you referring to the subnet section, for instance subnet 1.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.3; ddns-update-style interim; | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: The alternate installer uses optimal allignment as well. On modern drives aligning to the "cylinder" is far from optimal as cylinders from CHS values are basically a fiction. | 00:09 |
| prothon | hobomo, did you change the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file at all? Like disallow text login. | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: Where were you seeing errors about alignment? | 00:09 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, Besides noticeable speed decrease (these are 2TB drives) I saw the errors in disk utility | 00:10 |
| hobomo | prothon, nope i havent changed sshd_config at all | 00:10 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: What error specifically? Did you use automatic partitioning with the alternate installer? | 00:10 |
| indrajeet | how do I restart apache server? | 00:10 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, Manual config of the partitions. I think that's what made it poop | 00:10 |
| parapa | I'm trying to get a program to run in wine but it fails to load directx and the winehq people said I need 32bit opengl drivers, how can i figure out how to install those? I have a glxinfo output if that helps | 00:10 |
| prothon | hobomo, my guess is you'll need to restart the sshd service | 00:11 |
| hobomo | prothon, i should say that my server worked perfectly, but i moved to a new place and am now using a different router. thats the only thing that has changed. | 00:11 |
| prothon | hobomo, sudo service ssh restart | 00:11 |
| prothon | hobomo, are you trying to get in it from the outside in or local? | 00:11 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: So you're now aligning to MiB boundaries? | 00:12 |
| indrajeet | how do I restart apache server? | 00:12 |
| hobomo | prothon, local. im using all 192.168.2.X addresses | 00:12 |
| prothon | indrajeet, sudo service apache restart | 00:12 |
| prothon | hobomo, that's strange. Within a local subnet you shouldn't have many issues. Any segmintation or vlans? | 00:13 |
| hobomo | prothon, i restarted, but it still gives me a 'no route to host' error. | 00:13 |
| hobomo | prothon, i dont even know what those mean, so i guess not. | 00:13 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, Honestly, very little | 00:13 |
| indrajeet | @<prothon> giving this error --apache: unrecognized service | 00:14 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: Verry little what? | 00:14 |
| prothon | hobomo, go to local terminal and type ifconfig | grep addr | 00:14 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, MiB boundaries. | 00:14 |
| prothon | indrajeet, sudo service httpd restart maybe? | 00:14 |
| ETERNA | Code Hackers=Programmers. | 00:14 |
| hobomo | prothon, to get the correct IP? its static for the server | 00:15 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: You can't be "very little" aligned on MiB boundaries. Your partitions are either aligned on MiB boundaries or not. Which is it? | 00:15 |
| prothon | hobomo, Basically to see if it's getting any dhcp requests | 00:15 |
| parapa | I'm trying to get a program to run in wine but it fails to load directx and the winehq people said I need 32bit opengl drivers, how can i figure out how to install those? I have a glxinfo output if that helps | 00:16 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, I mean i know little of it. I'm RTFMing but I understand that you need to use 4096 ^ x for partitions | 00:16 |
| ETERNA | Uhm... I think u have to use winetricks | 00:16 |
| ETERNA | To install DirectX | 00:16 |
| hobomo | prothon, what should i be looking at in ifconfig? | 00:16 |
| ETERNA | And OpenGL | 00:16 |
| prothon | hobomo, under ETH0 it should have some kind of ipv4 address. If not, can't route to host. | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: I'm betting that the installer aligned the partitions perfectly well and you are simply misunderstanding an error message you've seen. That's why I'd like to know what the exact error message was. | 00:17 |
| indrajeet | @<prothon> this command works --sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 00:18 |
| crash1hd | Would reinstalling ubuntu ontop of itself fix my problem? | 00:18 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! How do I print a 7 column, week at a glance calendar? | 00:18 |
| crash1hd | or cause more problems? | 00:18 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, Oh, after trying X and Y I've wiped that partition out many times over. I think I just manually partitioned the drives to the wrong boundaries. I've come to realize that. | 00:18 |
| hobomo | prothon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/703681/ | 00:18 |
| hobomo | prothon, anything wrong that you can see? | 00:19 |
| prothon | hobomo, type "sudo dhclient eth0" | 00:19 |
| prothon | hobomo, it doesn't have an IPv4 address | 00:19 |
| dsnyders | Thunderbird doesn't do it. | 00:19 |
| dsnyders | ... although it displays it nicely. | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | prothon: I don't think that either Ubiquity (the live installer) or Debian Installer (the "alternate" installer) easily allows you to create unaligned partitions. | 00:21 |
| prothon | Jordan_U, Stroke of unluck? Maybe I'm tard. Maybe a bit of column A and B | 00:22 |
| hobomo | prothon, heres what i got when i entered the command, http://paste.ubuntu.com/703682/ | 00:23 |
| qwaz | raymer | 00:23 |
| qwaz | trolololo | 00:23 |
| prothon | hobomo, Ok so 2 things could be happening. DHCP broke on your router or the cable is loose in the back | 00:24 |
| hobomo | prothon, ok so should i try tightening the cable first? | 00:25 |
| prothon | hobomo, you don't need to "tighten" the cable. Just push it in a bit. See if it's loose. | 00:25 |
| hobomo | prothon, it doesnt seem to be loose | 00:26 |
| prothon | hobomo, it might be the dhcp server on the router. What kind of router? | 00:27 |
| hobomo | prothon, belkin wireless g plus | 00:28 |
| hobomo | prothon, should i find a model number? | 00:29 |
| prothon | hobomo, naw, they use pretty much standard firmware | 00:29 |
| prothon | hobomo, all your other devices work when power cycled? | 00:30 |
| prothon | hobomo, they all get an ip address? | 00:30 |
| parapa | I'm trying to get a program to run in wine but it fails to load directx and the winehq people said I need 32bit opengl libraries, how can i figure out how to install those? I have a glxinfo output if that helps | 00:30 |
| hobomo | prothon, yes they all get ip addresses | 00:30 |
| hobomo | they all have internet access | 00:30 |
| prothon | hobomo, very strange. Suggest to you is make a static IP. | 00:30 |
| hobomo | you mean have the router assign static IPs to my devices? | 00:31 |
| prothon | hobomo, I don't know the syntax for the .conf file off the top of my head but i bet you someone else around here would. *also have to go for about 10 minutes* | 00:31 |
| prothon | hobomo, no you asign the eth0 interface a static. That way it'll arp correctly. | 00:31 |

| qin | scwizard: change nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf to google public servers: 8.8.8.8 4.4.8.8 | 00:40 |
| nibalizer | basically you press e on one of those enties and append nomodeset and press enter | 00:40 |
| scwizard | ach that's the file /etc/resolv.conf | 00:41 |
| scwizard | thx | 00:41 |
| crash1hd | nibalizer, no | 00:41 |
| scwizard | what the heck do I put under "search" in resolv.conf? | 00:42 |
| sammy | so lets say I'm installing a package with a daemon. is there a quick and easy way to get apt *not* to try to automagically start the daemon immediately after installing it? debconf doesn't give me all the configuration options I want to edit before it starts, and I end up having to clean up after the initial start of the daemon because it creates all sorts of databases and things that turn out to be incorrect for my setup | 00:42 |

| zemo | you can see 8001 | 00:46 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! How do I print a 7 column, week at a glance calendar? | 00:46 |
| qin | zemo: You could test forwarding with ssh/telnet. And make sure what no firewall is running. | 00:47 |
| sammy | dont use debian where packages are meant to be installed and JustWork- got it. thanks for the advice. | 00:47 |
| zemo | qin: the pc firewall is down like i set it | 00:47 |
| * el_seano pokes nibalizer | 00:48 | |

| zemo | qin: but if i telent to public ip on 8001 ill get pconnectionrefused | 00:48 |
| sammy | dsnyders: I don't know, lemme ask google for you | 00:48 |
| zemo | qin: but if i telent to public ip on 8001 ill get oconnection refused | 00:49 |
| crash1hd | nibalizer, would If I dont need nomodeset in livecd? to boot live cd then why would I normally need it? | 00:49 |
| zemo | qin: the port is not blocked like stated in the website | 00:49 |
| qin | zemo: maybe start sshd and use *it* to test. | 00:50 |
| zemo | qin: to test what | 00:50 |
| qin | zemo: If ssh connection, after forwarding port 22, can be established. | 00:51 |
| scwizard | "Package openssh-server is not available, but is referred to by another package." | 00:51 |
| qin | zemo: If you do not mind, can probe your ip. | 00:51 |
| nibalizer | crash1hd: yea good point | 00:51 |

| egerton | Has anyone tried installing zimbra on ubuntu 11.4? | 00:54 |

| scwizard | when I apt-cache search "ssh" the only packages it lists are libssl and openssh-client | 00:59 |
| scwizard | and of course more packages than that exist... | 00:59 |
| sammy | dsnyders: I do but Ive never used it to print calendars. Id try something ese to print them, the internet doesn't seem to have good reviews | 01:00 |
| egerton | Has anyone installed zimbra desktop on ubutnu 11.04? | 01:00 |
| sammy | dsnyders: id suggest lightning, though I dont knw if its any better at printing. maybe importing into google calendar -- i know they have views specifically for printing | 01:01 |
| scwizard | oh that was the magic command I was forgetting, sudo apt-get update | 01:01 |
| scwizard | I typoed it as upgrade and got confuzzled | 01:02 |
| egerton | Has anyone installed zimbra desktop on ubutnu 11.04? | 01:02 |

| surreal7z | I tried everything I could think of. | 01:21 |
| FerchoLP | surreal7z did you install network drivers on win xp machine? | 01:21 |
| sammy | iToast: minimal is still too big? what are you basing that off of? | 01:21 |
| surreal7z | sure, Lan drivers are installed | 01:22 |
| sammy | iToast: i see ubuntu documentation that's telling me a minimal server install is 500mb | 01:22 |
| iToast | sammy: Add lamp and a ssh / ftp server. | 01:22 |
| iToast | All in 1gb of storage. | 01:22 |

| FerchoLP | what do you see with ipconfig? | 01:23 |
| iToast | sammy: What about lubuntu? | 01:24 |
| surreal7z | Media State ........ Media disconnected | 01:25 |
| sammy | FerchoLP: you can mark the various kernel images and source packages to hold their version until you want to update them. why wouldnt you want grub? do you have a custom setup that it will overwrite? | 01:25 |
| sammy | iToast: are you looking for a desktop or a server? | 01:25 |
| surreal7z | FerchoLP, Media State ........ Media disconnected | 01:25 |

| FerchoLP | It is rarely a software problem, but if you say that with win7 it worked... I don't know what to say | 01:26 |
| sammy | iToast: then I suggest you read the wealth of information that is available online about installing ubuntu servers and their requirements, including how much disk space they require. the documentation I found says that you can easily fit what you want in 1gb. google is your friend. | 01:27 |
| iToast | sammy: i tried google. | 01:27 |

| Steven192923 | Hey guys I was wondering if I could get some quick help, I was running memtest and then after the first pass this happened. http://i56.tinypic.com/33zaebl.png | 02:00 |
| usr13 | Steven192923: How long has it been since you cleaned the processor and heat sink and applied new thermal grease? | 02:02 |
| Steven192923 | I would have no idea, This is a rented box. I am running memtest over KVM. | 02:02 |
| mboldisc | did the whole system lock up at that point? | 02:02 |
| xangua | keyzs: you won't get any msn client that support videochat, better try skype or gtalk ;) | 02:02 |
| Steven192923 | No memtest is still running | 02:02 |
| keyzs | xangua none? | 02:03 |
| mboldisc | you rented a pc and you want to fix the memory problems? | 02:03 |
| Steven192923 | No, Its a rented dedicated server. | 02:03 |
| keyzs | memtest | 02:03 |
| usr13 | Steven192923: What symptoms lead you to do memtest/ | 02:03 |
| mboldisc | oh | 02:03 |
| usr13 | ? | 02:03 |
| Steven192923 | Server crashes randomly. blank servers when consoling. | 02:04 |
| Steven192923 | unresponsive | 02:04 |
| mboldisc | anything interesting in dmesg? | 02:04 |
| usr13 | Well, if it's a rented box, it's not your job to fix it. Right? You need to make a phone call. | 02:05 |
| Steven192923 | I couldn't find anything. | 02:05 |
| mboldisc | Are you running memtest through ssh? | 02:05 |
| Steven192923 | No, Its booted from dvd, running over KVM IP | 02:05 |
| usr13 | Steven192923: Did you try re-seating the RAM modules? | 02:06 |
| Steven192923 | This would not be up to me but I can add a support request for them to do so. | 02:06 |
| Steven192923 | Thank you for your suggestion. | 02:06 |
| mboldisc | If I owned the box, I'd run the same test with only one ram module in it | 02:07 |
| usr13 | If not, pull them out and cram them back in again. | 02:07 |
| mboldisc | Not sure if you have that option | 02:07 |
| sogeking99 | hey guys, anyone know a good graphical program for playing interactive fiction | 02:07 |

| usr13 | Steven192923: If it were mine, I'd reseat the memory and clean it up and apply new thermal grease and do another memtest. | 02:08 |
| egerton | Has anyone installed zimbra desktop on ubutnu 11.04? | 02:09 |
| Steven192923 | Thanks, but the hardware is not mine, They are just going to replace the ram. | 02:09 |

| cbilljones | im having a small issue with proftpd, i want all users to be able to have full access to files withen my ftp share. I set the umask to 000, folders seem to have 777 for rights, but files are still read only, 755 i think | 02:29 |
| SIFTU | eiriksvin: actually yeah.. debian has rolldice in he repo | 02:30 |
| eiriksvin | yeah, I have rolldice, but I'm looking for a gui dice roller, I don't mind command line, but it looks crappy on screen display in-game | 02:31 |
| molgan | question about GRUB loading on a external moniter and being offset, does anyone know how to fix it? | 02:32 |
| SIFTU | eiriksvin: well maybe the other one http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=107345 | 02:33 |
| Jokn | cbilljones: did you sudo chmod -R 777 /ftp/share ? | 02:33 |
| urlin2u | molgan, ALL GRUB DOES IS LOAD THE os | 02:33 |
| molgan | I know. | 02:33 |
| cbilljones | jokn yes, that works as a temp fix, but if a user uploads a new file it is 755, though if they create a dir its 777 | 02:33 |
| bakis | soo any help? | 02:33 |

| molgan | the feed of the screen is offset up and to the left, and I can't really see any options. | 02:34 |

| eiriksvin | maybe I should build a cool dice rolling blend and toss it out there freebee | 02:35 |

| bakis | <destinydriven> yes that was patched | 02:36 |

| eiriksvin | solrac whats your graphics card? NVidia? | 02:51 |
| xangua | eiriksvin: yes you can | 02:52 |
| solrac | no the graphics are fine its a bcm4312 wireless card (I even installed firmware-b43-lpphy-installer) | 02:52 |
| eiriksvin | xangua cool, I'll have to look into it | 02:53 |
| urlin2u | eiriksvin, so when you start to mix desktops they can have overlapping apps, and the desktop can be difficult to remove that you have added if you don't like it, personally I would download a kubuntu version of natty and check it out first. With natty being tied to compiz I think you can just install kubuntu but not sure of the consequences overall. | 02:53 |
| eiriksvin | solrac whats your question | 02:53 |
| solrac | Why isn't the b43 driver appearing in the Aditional Drivers (jockey-gtk) Application? | 02:53 |

| fullmetal | like sudo apt-get install libc6 | 02:59 |
| tux-matt | fullmetal i need to install glibc 2.11 | 03:00 |

| crash1hd | Braiam, yes 11.04 to 11.04 | 03:01 |
| oderfene | anyways I have no internet at all besides wireless, i cant access a cable so basically I triedi nstalling drivers for broadcom 43X and it doesn't ever work without internet, am I hopeless with this? | 03:01 |

| urlin2u | crash1hd, bad idea. | 03:02 |
| fullmetal | not sure... what game / program are you trying to port? | 03:02 |
| solrac | although, I do have STA activated but it doesn't read packets D: (Thats what i'm looking for) and I already done it | 03:02 |
| tux-matt__ | thanks | 03:02 |
| oderfene | I even downloaded the drivers onto my windows and then USB 'd them over to the ubuntu installation, and tried manually installing through the terminal and it still didn't work | 03:02 |

| tux-matt__ | what about x window system how can i get it installed | 03:02 |
| urlin2u | oderfene, look at the link. | 03:02 |

| xistance_ | fullmetal: Starcraft II | 03:03 |
| shapeshifta | crash1hd: im guessing it should have an option to repair or install while keeping home intact. I am not sure though. | 03:03 |
| oderfene | urlin2u: I am, I think I may have tried it before let me see... also I have absolutely no internet besides wireless so I can't use internet on the machine to get packages | 03:03 |
| oderfene | urlin2u: yeah, the apt-get stuff it wont work | 03:03 |
| fullmetal | @tuxmatt are you looking to install a windows manager? | 03:03 |
| fullmetal | like xfce gnome kde? | 03:03 |
| fullmetal | or just change from what you got? | 03:03 |

| delinquentme | ...without having to reinstall ubuntu 10.04 | 03:05 |
| urlin2u | crash1hd, installing over a OS is just not a fix it is a noob act, if there is a repair option that is what thats for, or just back up what you need and reinstall. | 03:05 |
| fullmetal | @tuxmat what game are you getting at? | 03:05 |
| tux-matt_____ | oil rush | 03:05 |
| fullmetal | hmmm | 03:05 |
| crash1hd | urlin2u, but there was no repair option that I could see | 03:05 |
| fullmetal | you should already have a x windows manager... | 03:05 |

| fullmetal | urlin2u that is hilarious considering our earlier convo | 03:07 |
| fullmetal | not @ you, just at the timing | 03:07 |
| solrac | bump | 03:07 |
| oderfene | urlin2u: thanks youre a polite chap waste of time for the channel aye? I didnt think it's unthinkable to be in this situation with an ubuntu install | 03:07 |
| tux-matt_____ | fullmetal you are saying it comes preinstalled with ubuntu x window manager | 03:08 |
| urlin2u | fullmetal, you are welcome to project as you like. | 03:08 |
| jason___ | hello everyone. Question... I'm trying to boot PPC clients using an LTSP setup on Ubuntu. I have a PowerPC chroot however my clients are not getting through the netboot process. Can someone take a look at this example (at the bottom) DHCP config and tell me what I would need to tweak and/or add to mine to make it work? I'm not sure what I'm missing. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPCrossArchSetup | 03:08 |
| karen_m | I'm using gdm, and i need to disable automaticlogon, but /etc/gdm/custom.conf does NOT exist. Anyone know where that file is now? | 03:08 |
| fullmetal | np | 03:08 |
| fullmetal | just not on a proxy connect, dont want to get my IP flagged. ill mind my manners... | 03:08 |
| urlin2u | oderfene, what without the basic tools and information all ovewr the web as far as those drivers, do your homework. | 03:08 |
| oderfene | urlin2u I have done the homework infacft I downloaded the drivers myself and USB transferred them onto the machine | 03:09 |
| oderfene | my terminal won't recognize their existance for some reason though, even if I put it on to the desktop and cd Desktop, then try, it still says "directory name doesn't exist" | 03:09 |
| fullmetal | @tuxmat yep... gnome, kde, xfce. all window managers... | 03:09 |
| fullmetal | @tuxmat have you tried installing play on linux? | 03:09 |
| solrac | <Bump> | 03:09 |
| fullmetal | has a lot of pre-compiled stuff to use | 03:10 |
| th0r | karen_m: try running gdmsetup from a terminal, see if that brings up what you need | 03:10 |
| oderfene | urlin2u: or "Cannot open input file" it doesn't make any sense because i see the file right there | 03:10 |
| oderfene | and i run as sudo and cd into desktop | 03:10 |
| fullmetal | oderfene have you given what you are trying to execute chmod +x permission? | 03:11 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: no i'll try that thx | 03:11 |
| fullmetal | np. most things will not execute from downloads unless you explicitly give them permission... its a safety thing... | 03:12 |
| tux-matt________ | fullmetal so i dont have to worry about anything so x window is preinstalled | 03:12 |
| fullmetal | kinda like yelling fire in the hole three times on the fourth of july... | 03:12 |
| fullmetal | @tux-matt that correct... | 03:12 |
| tux-matt________ | thats cool | 03:12 |
| tux-matt________ | thanks all | 03:13 |
| fullmetal | unless its a old school game with dependency issues/// | 03:13 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: it still says " no such file or directory " even though it's right infront of my eyes, lol | 03:13 |
| tux-matt________ | no look it up it has not even come out yeat | 03:13 |
| oderfene | i typed in chmod x broadcom-wl(blablabla name of file) and it gives me that error | 03:13 |
| fullmetal | try sudo chmod +x -Rv /directory name | 03:13 |
| fullmetal | no not chmod x | 03:13 |
| fullmetal | its as command line directive | 03:13 |
| oderfene | I meant +x | 03:13 |
| oderfene | not just x | 03:13 |
| fullmetal | gotcha | 03:13 |
| fullmetal | hmmm | 03:14 |
| fullmetal | give it a ls -a and throw the line in chat | 03:14 |
| fullmetal | *description line for the file | 03:14 |
| fullmetal | if you can ls the file it should be there | 03:15 |
| solrac | Still with the problem of the b43 driver (please not the link of the WifiDocs cause it didnt work at all) | 03:15 |
| fullmetal | @solrac have you tried b43-fwcutter? | 03:15 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: OK ill check that BTW it still didnt work saying it cant find it | 03:15 |
| fullmetal | just install it from the synaptic package manager. | 03:15 |
| solrac | yes | 03:15 |
| fullmetal | it should ask to fetch and install the firmware | 03:16 |
| solrac | i did and still | 03:16 |
| fullmetal | hmm | 03:16 |
| solrac | its not being read by jockey-gtk | 03:16 |
| fullmetal | then what about ndiswrapper. you can use windows drivers and it in conjunction | 03:16 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: it says : . .. broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5 .directory firefox.desktop thunderbird.desktop | 03:16 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: OH are you not supposed to write .tar.bz2 into the command line? | 03:17 |
| Firefishe | What is an open source solution, similar to norton ghost? | 03:17 |
| fullmetal | orderfene that is a zipped file | 03:17 |
| fullmetal | try | 03:17 |
| fullmetal | tar xvf filename | 03:17 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: hold on though the filename has those two markers at the end of it though becuase it's zipped | 03:17 |
| fullmetal | yep | 03:18 |
| th0r | Firefishe: clonezilla? | 03:18 |
| solrac | I don't have windows T_T It broke up the whole Windows Directory (forcing me back into Linux) | 03:18 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: should I include the .tar.bz2 part in the commandline as well? because the ls -a didn't show that part | 03:18 |
| fullmetal | yes you should infact instead of doing all that typing just do | 03:18 |
| fullmetal | tar xvf filena(tab) | 03:18 |
| fullmetal | it will finish the file name for you | 03:19 |
| solrac | example :: tar xvf filename.tar.bz2 | 03:19 |
| fullmetal | @solrac hell yea | 03:19 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: wow OK it gave me a weird error saying " tar: you may not specify more than one -Acdtrux or ' --test-label' option Try 'tar --help or 'tar --usage for more information, WHAT??? | 03:19 |
| solrac | what is the file you are trying to extract? | 03:20 |
| oderfene | also it said "cannot read: Is a directory At beginning of tape, quitting now | 03:20 |
| solrac | @oderfene | 03:20 |
| oderfene | solrac: it's a broadcom driver for my wireless card | 03:20 |
| solrac | same here bro | 03:20 |
| fullmetal | @oderfene what distro? | 03:20 |
| kfizz1 | I have a directory with Watch.html and watch.html in it, why does ls [Ww]atch.html say no such file or directory? I thought [..] matched either character? | 03:20 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: ubuntu | 03:20 |
| solrac | kk | 03:20 |
| fullmetal | version? | 03:20 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: 10.04 | 03:21 |
| fullmetal | maverick / narwhal | 03:21 |
| fullmetal | ok your on jaunty jackelope | 03:21 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: or the one before that not 10.04 the one before that | 03:21 |
| fullmetal | 9.10? | 03:21 |
| oderfene | which one was the first one to have unity? it was before that 1 | 03:21 |
| oderfene | yea | 03:21 |

| fullmetal | ok | 03:21 |
| solrac | Im 11.04 | 03:22 |
| solrac | Xubuntu | 03:22 |
| fullmetal | @solrac you may have additional issues since a lot of the extra packages are not added... | 03:22 |
| fullmetal | one min though... im more familiar with orderfene as i had the same issue... but ill get right back to you in a min... | 03:23 |
| solrac | well I have firmware-b43-lpphy-installer, b43-fwcutter O.o | 03:23 |
| solrac | oh my apologies then | 03:23 |
| solrac | ^^" | 03:23 |
| fullmetal | no worries... just dont want to confuse the lines... | 03:23 |
| fullmetal | @oderfene what have you done so far to try and get your wireless drivers working? | 03:23 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: Oh | 03:24 |
| oderfene | fullmetal: hold on can I PM you I found some instructions that are partway working | 03:24 |
| oderfene | but its stuck at this 1 part which makes not alot of sense | 03:24 |

| JasonGriffee | how can i insure that my graphics card is up to date? | 03:29 |
| bmc6053 | Automatic update I'd guess. If your using an Nvidia card and their driver, check their site. | 03:30 |
| JasonGriffee | bmc6053, it's intel | 03:31 |
| JasonGriffee | bmc6023, intergrated | 03:32 |
| bmc6053 | I'd assume a new driver would show up in your updates... I'm just guessing though. I'm sure *someone* who knows will eventually say | 03:32 |

| fji | help msg | 03:34 |
| bmc6053 | Integrated graphics are never the best option for gaming... I've been using freeBSD and have come to rely on nvidia though so I'm not very certain of the graphics capabilities on anything intel. | 03:35 |

| supercar_heaven | i want to add watermark to video how can i do that ?? | 03:38 |
| RobbieCrash | when I do: cp /green/ /Data/ -r It copies everything to /Data/Green/ how can I get it to just copy to /Data? | 03:39 |
| bmc6053 | I did a quick search and it looks like intel graphics are just "sub par" ... The forums have a lot of info though supercar_heaven | 03:41 |
| supercar_heaven | can you give the link bmc6053 ?? | 03:43 |
| bmc6053 | Robbie, try adding ./Data instead of just /Data/ or use a full path (depending on where your copying from) | 03:43 |

| c4doug | oops wrong chan | 03:45 |
| bmc6053 | Depends on your video card and bios JasonGriffee, you could check to see if you can oc in the bios.. but really, until Intel releases half way decent drivers... I don't know what you could really do | 03:46 |

| gluonman | How can I create a shell from a shell script (bash) that I can port to Windows? | 03:48 |
| th0r | gluonman: you won't find much in common between bash scripting and windows | 03:49 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | ^ | 03:49 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | gluonman: its a theoretical impossibility, because DOS != Bash | 03:50 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | in any way shape or form | 03:50 |
| bmc6053 | there use to be windows utilities that allow you to just run the shell script... Unix tools by ms? Dunno if they still exist though | 03:50 |
| vergil | bmc6053: Somewhat, cygwin utils are an option, but are probably OT for this channel | 03:50 |
| redhare | I need to know how to use a *.RUN file when it says i have to do it outside of X and yet when i tried alt-f2 and running it i get the NO SUCH COMMAND response ? | 03:51 |
| gluonman | th0r, TheEvilPhoenix, yeah, I figured. I wrote this at someone's request, and then found out that they want it to run in Windows. I was thinking maybe Msys or Cygwin would work, but it's complicated. So I hoped maybe I could make a shell somehow. | 03:51 |
| bmc6053 | true, thx vergil | 03:51 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | gluonman: its not called a "shell" or "shell script" in windows. tis called a batch file. you'd need to look up the Windows coding for batch files | 03:51 |
| SetiAmon | From what i read ubuntu 11.10 is coming out on the 13th is that correct | 03:52 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | and then write/test on windows | 03:52 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | !11.10 | SetiAmon | 03:52 |

| redhare | trying to get sounds todointx in ubuntu 10.04 lts on my xps l702x and i located the issue | 04:10 |
| redhare | it seems that the proprietary driver and hardware is not activated like u see happening during an install of ubuntu when the installer detects your hardware that it can use .. | 04:11 |
| redhare | and in turn .. if i can get the VIDEO hardware to work properly i can get sound .. because the sound is tied into and piped THRU the hd video card | 04:11 |
| redhare | get what i'm saying ? | 04:11 |
| bmc6053 | Basically, sudo -s then ./thescript.run after shutting down x but ubuntu appears to have its own runlevel mojo going on | 04:12 |
| redhare | or i could just " sudo init 1 " run the script then init 2 to get back right ? now that i read your link | 04:13 |
| TodoInTX | redhare: ok, so NVidia audio device driver is also proprietary as part of the Video drivers.... ick. | 04:13 |
| bmc6053 | That *should* work | 04:13 |
| === fji is now known as fjiji | ||

| redhare | and noticed that i NEVER saw " DUMMY AUDIO " in the hardware for my audio ... and noticed I'm also running on generic yet very good drivers for video | 04:14 |
| redhare | yeah | 04:14 |
| redhare | it is nvidia.x.x.run | 04:14 |

| SetiAmon | hey | 05:00 |
| SetiAmon | I got a on topic question | 05:00 |
| SetiAmon | is there any downside to just upgrading versions of ubuntu threw update manager then say a fresh install | 05:01 |
| SetiAmon | meaning when 11.10 comes out is there any advantage to doing a fresh install instead of a upgrade threw update manager | 05:01 |
| th_ | not really | 05:01 |
| SetiAmon | good | 05:01 |
| th_ | you can make your account 'clean install' simply by nuking .settings folders from your account dir | 05:02 |
| th_ | mkdir ~/oldconfigs && mv ~/.* ~/oldconfigs | 05:02 |

| rishikanta | hi.. is it ok to have gnome 3, unity and kde running on the same ubuntu 11.10 installation? | 05:24 |
| cousin_luigi | rishikanta: I don't see why not | 05:25 |
| bazhang | rishikanta, of course. #ubuntu+1 for 11.10 though please | 05:25 |
| rishikanta | ok, thanks | 05:25 |
| The_Phoenix | rishikanta: Sure but sometimes installing KDE+GNome might make the apps menu cluttered. | 05:25 |
| rishikanta | I had gnome 2 and kde running fine on a red hat... bt even since I switched to ubuntu.. I haven't tried kde | 05:26 |
| bazhang | rishikanta, kubuntu-desktop package will give you that | 05:26 |
| The_Phoenix | rishikanta: That should be fine. You wouldn't have any issues at all. | 05:26 |
| bazhang | rishikanta, or any of the -desktop packages, ie lubuntu xubuntu etc | 05:27 |

| Fargh | anyone has a clue why my homedir is all sudden "Read-only file system" | 06:02 |
| Jordan_U | Fargh: Most likely because your filesystem has been corrupted somehow. Boot from a LiveCD and use "Disk Utility" to check the hardware first (S.M.A.R.T data) then run fsck. If you have any important files that aren't backed up though you should probably do that *now* as your drive may be dying. | 06:05 |

| redhare | hey guys .. I'm back .. After downloading the ubuntu 11.04 live cd . I booted into it to " try ubuntu " and my sound works ... Is there ANY way possible for me to pull it's audio/video drivers ? or do have my current installation seek and search the disc/iso for the proper drivers i need on THIS system ? | 06:06 |
| bazhang | wxl, #ubuntu+1 for 11.10 please | 06:06 |
| wxl | bah, bazhang, they're of little help | 06:07 |
| bazhang | wxl, be patient, thats the place | 06:07 |
| redhare | bazhang ? u know if there is a way to utilize the cd itself for it's audio and video drivers without upgrading to that distro ? | 06:09 |
| bazhang | redhare, what version are you on; what are you trying to do | 06:11 |
| redhare | i'm on 10.04 lts .. | 06:11 |
| New0 | i thiink i have lags. why? | 06:11 |
| redhare | i am attempting to gain audio in this 64 bit edition ... it seems 11.04 has a solution but I don't want to upgrade | 06:11 |
| redhare | i booted into the 11.x edition live cd and audio was working on it even during the generic live session .. but not in 10.04 .. my question is , how do i figure out which audio driver it was using in the live cd or how can i have the package manager search the live cd to upgrade from it as a source or repository for drivers and the like there of ? | 06:13 |

| New0 | hi everyone :) i'm now trying to reorganise my files/folders and i would like someone help to know how to organise by category. can someone assist please? tnx :) | 06:19 |
| redhare | what is arecord short for frostsongr ? | 06:20 |
| meta-coder | New0, How can we help? | 06:20 |
| redhare | and thanks .. see .. i will have to download each dependency seperately bazhang . and then install the package .. one by one . by hand .. that is how i use stuff from different versions .. sometimes at the end of the dependency download it doesn't work and sometimes it does ;) | 06:21 |
| inz | redhare, ALSA record probably | 06:21 |
| redhare | hmm .. thanks inz .. will be back after i try it | 06:22 |
| Frostsongr | yeah just an easy way to see what sound cards are running on a working system with alsa. | 06:22 |
| redhare | but if arecord -l lists the soundcards in use does it also list the " driver " it is using ? | 06:22 |
| New0 | meta-coder well i have lots of mess in my files/folder. and i want to rearrange it. Category/SubCategory and so on: | 06:23 |
| Frostsongr | whatever card it is should be enough info to find out what driver you need using google | 06:23 |
| redhare | frostsongr : is there a way to find out it's corresponding drivers for each device ? | 06:23 |
| Ascavasaion | I have downloaded a deb package. How do I install It from the commandline please? | 06:23 |
| New0 | meta-coder software, movies, programming, tv show,..... | 06:23 |
| New0 | meta-coder all my HDDs full of it | 06:23 |
| redhare | aye frostsongr . but in case i was hoping to be able to deduce the driver and subsequent dependencies involved so i might write them down to find them later on the live cd itself since it will be the one using them and thus err too long to type out | 06:24 |

| bazhang | !classic | redhare if you dont want unity | 06:42 |

| redhare | ohh yeah .. haha thanks bazhang .. i'm bout to go fullblown ubuntu again because i've been stuck in windows until the sound issue was solved .. and i guess if the upgrade doesn't work then the full 11.04 upgrade for me will have to be what works .. :( | 06:42 |

| urlin2u | nrdb, that is inacurate info. | 06:49 |
| bazhang | nrdb, thats wrong | 06:49 |
| nrdb | urlin2u, bazhang, it has both times I needed to do it. | 06:49 |

| auronandace | nedb: it only wipes the mbr, not any other partitions | 06:49 |

| Quetzal | redhare: You should only do it if you're worried your computer will get stolen. Or if someone might take your harddrive away o-O | 06:52 |
| urlin2u | nrdb, install htop use the search function f3 to find the running thunder bird and use f9 the kill it | 06:52 |
| urlin2u | to* | 06:52 |
| redhare | well .. quetzal .. i do some rather questionable computing actions ... but truth be told .. those who would be looking at my directories would most likely crack the encryption lol | 06:52 |
| redhare | other than that quetzal there are no others who could or would be able to get near my pc without me knowing .. lol | 06:53 |
| Quetzal | Then do not use weak passwords? o_O | 06:53 |
| thevinci | anyone? | 06:53 |
| redhare | one last question for the moment .. | 06:53 |
| Quetzal | Heck, I can't think how anyone can even break encryption anyway... | 06:53 |
| Quetzal | Unless they got a butt load of time to spend. | 06:54 |
| redhare | err nm | 06:54 |
| redhare | well | 06:54 |
| redhare | imagine a room full of the amoeba joined processor power setup .. | 06:54 |
| redhare | err | 06:54 |
| Quetzal | Huh? You're really not making sense to me. :S | 06:55 |
| nrdb | urlin2u, but it isn't ... ps -A | grep thunderbird - ... returns nothing. | 06:55 |
| redhare | imagine a room full of the amoeba joined processor power setup computers to work together .. maybe 100 or more laptops/desktops/terminals etc .. the processing power combined could do the job yes ? | 06:55 |
| redhare | amoeba .. it's an OLDDDDD program ... | 06:55 |
| redhare | umm .. u know the PS3 program where u can donate it's processing power ? that's what i'm referring to or a pumped up version of the old amoeba | 06:56 |
| redhare | anyhow quetzal .. i'm sorry but i'm OT and i didn't mean to be | 06:56 |
| urlin2u | nrdb, not sure if that command will show a zombie. | 06:56 |
| nrdb | urlin2u, htop dosn't find it ether. | 06:57 |
| Quetzal | I do not buy into rumors, and it would take geezers quite some time to break into a good encrypted syste,. | 06:57 |
| Quetzal | Well, if anything, that's better than no encryption anyway. | 06:57 |
| urlin2u | nrdb, not sure myself than. | 06:57 |
| Quetzal | If you're that worried, then by all means. Use it. | 06:57 |
| redhare | technically .. it would be easier just to install a firestorm safety system where misguessed pwds equals no hard drive data ;) | 06:58 |
| redhare | right ? | 06:58 |
| nrdb | Quetzal, I heard that CIA tried to break a truecrypt encryption for 2 years and failed. | 06:58 |
| redhare | hmm truecrypt ? | 06:59 |
| Quetzal | I'm not familiar with that software. If that is convenient, and efficient for you. Then use it. | 06:59 |
| * sorak likes security | 06:59 | |
| redhare | nrdb , quetzal , bazhang . Does anyone here remember Symantec Norton Secret ? | 06:59 |
| Quetzal | nrdb: Good, they shouldn't be hopping into everyone's privacy. | 06:59 |
| nrdb | redhare, no | 06:59 |
| Quetzal | Nope. | 06:59 |
| redhare | cia or any other government couldn't crack it | 07:00 |
| thevinci | Any of you guys know anything about servers? | 07:00 |
| redhare | it used to be available for public download but when nortan went from windows 95 to 98 they got rid of it in their install discs .. | 07:00 |
| Quetzal | !ask | thevinci | 07:00 |
| ubottu | thevinci: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:00 |
| auronandace | thevinci: try #ubuntu-server | 07:00 |
| redhare | it was a way to keep their proprietery stuff secret lol | 07:00 |
| bazhang | lets get back on topic please | 07:00 |
| nrdb | Quetzal, there worried about more sites using https: all the time. | 07:00 |
| redhare | yes sir | 07:00 |
| redhare | sorry baz | 07:00 |
| thevinci | trying there too, no one really replying | 07:00 |
| redhare | thevinci ; what's ur question ? | 07:01 |
| Quetzal | nrdb: Yea, offcourse, because computer users are slowly becoming smarter. So it will not be easy snoopying for them. | 07:01 |
| thevinci | I'm trying to connect to an ftp server I'm setting up in my home. I installed ubuntu server 10.04 then installed vsftpd | 07:01 |
| thevinci | I haven't changed any of the config files | 07:01 |
| thevinci | i put some music in a folder, and now i want to see if I can get to it from my laptop | 07:02 |
| redhare | are u using port 21 and u must also use the login and password for that system | 07:02 |
| nrdb | thevinci, can you connect from the server ? i.e. using localhost? | 07:02 |
| Quetzal | thevinci: Ensure you've added user accounts and such. Port numbers that uses FTP must be opened. | 07:02 |
| thevinci | nrdb: I'm not sure what you mean. | 07:03 |
| redhare | personally if you want to access that music and BROWSE the server you should setup a remote connection or remote control session you can access on that server allowing you to use it as if you were on it at home :) | 07:03 |
| thevinci | redhare: I'm super new to servers, I've been reading a crapload of stuff in forums and ubuntu.com, but I'm having trouble grasping it all. | 07:04 |
| redhare | thevinci : try using the regular version of ubuntu and immerse yourself in it and look for programs that can allow you to remotely access the desktop from anywhere .. | 07:05 |
| thevinci | nrdb: I'm logged in to the server and on the command line for it, but I don't know how to get at it from my laptop | 07:05 |
| redhare | there are TONS of programs and web services out there for this .. | 07:05 |
| nrdb | thevinci, start a terminal on the server, and try to connect to the ftp server from there. | 07:05 |
| redhare | thevinci : try using your lan at home first tho .. note to yourself that this will take a WEEK minimum to become a basic ubuntu user | 07:06 |
| thevinci | eh, I've been using ubuntu for a few years now | 07:06 |
| thevinci | really wanted to give the server thing a crack | 07:06 |
| thevinci | i've used samba for sharing with other laptops and such | 07:07 |
| crash1hd | OK this is a really odd one. I have 2 machines say PC1 and PC2 I am on PC1(windows) and I ping PC2(windows) I dont get any dropped pings yet when I boot PC2 into ubuntu and do the same I get random requst timed out | 07:07 |
| thevinci | the goal for the server here is to be a media center for our house. we have a few windows users, myself on ubuntu, and an xbox 360 we would like to stream to | 07:07 |
| redhare | well the only DIFFERENCE i noticed with ubuntu server and ubuntu regular .. are . that ubuntu server is CLI and has a little less data usage on the hard drive and a little less cpu and ram usage .. so go ahead and install the GUI version for the server edition | 07:08 |
| redhare | in fact .. bazhang .. what is the command for installing the X server and gui when you don't have it on ubuntu server edition ? | 07:08 |
| redhare | i'm guessing it's " sudo apt-get install gdm " ? | 07:08 |
| th_ | redhare: kernel is different | 07:08 |
| th_ | and why would you mess server with gui anyway | 07:09 |
| nrdb | thevinci, from a terminal on the server..try "ftp localhost"... what do you get? | 07:09 |
| redhare | th_ how is it ? | 07:09 |
| th_ | tuned for server performance | 07:09 |
| bazhang | redhare, the full suite? ubuntu-desktop or other -desktop package | 07:09 |
| redhare | just the desktop package for thevinci : so he can use the gui for what he cannot comprehend in the cli client or server client | 07:09 |
| thevinci | nrdb: "Connected to localhost. 500OOPS: vsftpd: both local and anonymous access disabled!" | 07:10 |
| thevinci | that could be a problem... lol | 07:10 |
| redhare | thevinci .. good luck sir .. i gotta go to work .. and as for the rest of the crew i've chatted with here trying to help me solve the sound issues .. thank you so much ... but i gotta head to work .. so i'm afk ;) laters guys | 07:11 |
| nrdb | thevinci, looks like it.. config problem most likely... until you can do basic stuff on localhost no point trying remotely. | 07:12 |
| thevinci | nrdb: I just edited my config file to allow anonymous | 07:13 |
| nrdb | thevinci, can you connect now? | 07:13 |
| thevinci | nrdb: when I ran ftp localhost this time I got 'Connected to localhost. 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2) Name (localhost:burlygoat):' | 07:14 |
| === tfilipczuk is now known as makak | ||
| thevinci | nrdb: now my cursor is blinking after 'Name (localhost:burlygoat):' | 07:15 |
| nrdb | thevinci, its asking for a name and password. | 07:15 |
| nrdb | thevinci, I think | 07:15 |
| thevinci | nrdb: hmmm, I haven't set any up, and when I type anything and press enter it says '530 this ftp server is anonymous only' | 07:17 |
| nrdb | thevinci, try just <enter> | 07:17 |
| thevinci | same thing | 07:17 |
| nrdb | thevinci, try "anonymous" | 07:18 |
| nrdb | thevinci, try "anonymous" or "guest" | 07:18 |
| thevinci | YES! that worked | 07:18 |
| thevinci | and password was nothing | 07:19 |

| nrdb | thevinci, good... try a 'ls' or 'pwd' command... you should now be able to connect remotely too. | 07:21 |

| Toneshifter | Gruber, worked perfectly fine with 10.04, after switching to SSD + 11.04 and installing Broadcom driver it doesnt show anything | 07:49 |
| Gruber | Toneshifter: an SSD has nothing to do with this | 07:49 |
| Toneshifter | i know that part | 07:49 |
| Gruber | Toneshifter: then why did you give me the pointless information. | 07:49 |
| Toneshifter | just giving you an information about any changes from the previous state | 07:50 |
| Gruber | Toneshifter: 10.04 and 11.04 are quite a large kernel version jump, using the same external kernel modules (I assume that's what you mean by broadcom drivers) may not be compatible with the newer kernel. You may need a different version, | 07:50 |
| Gruber | Toneshifter: or if you are using a later version of the broadcom modules, they may no longer support your card version | 07:51 |
| Gruber | Toneshifter: those are the two directions I would investigate first. | 07:51 |
| fritsch | Toneshifter: if the modul loads, have a look if the firmware is missing | 07:52 |
| Toneshifter | Gruber both 10.04 and 11.04 found and required a broadcom modules. bcmwl-kernel-source | 07:52 |
| Gruber | or if the firmware needs to be different from the later kernel | 07:52 |
| === aasfsdf is now known as GirlyGirl | ||
| fritsch | Toneshifter: post a full dmesg into a pastebin | 07:52 |
| Gruber | Toneshifter: doesn't mean it fully supports your card | 07:52 |

| Gruber | Toneshifter: I found it, that doesn't look complete to me. I don't know if it is | 08:05 |

| mrl | Hi, I'm using Xubuntu 11.04, and I have lost one of my panels. | 08:05 |
| Gruber | ubuntu__: have you put the public key in the authorized_keys file on the server, in the .ssh directory of the user ? | 08:05 |
| fritsch | Toneshifter: seems to be a firmware issue, install b43-fwcutter | 08:06 |
| ubuntu__ | Gruber, yes (I am able to connect on my windows machine via putty) | 08:06 |
| ubuntu__ | but the connection was flaky so I am trying the ubuntu livecd to see if its something to do with my machine or not | 08:06 |
| fritsch | Toneshifter: you only need: bcm-kernel-source, firmware-b43-install and b43-fwcutter | 08:06 |
| Gruber | ubuntu__: what command (exactly) are you using to ssh | 08:07 |
| ajah | whats the purpose of '<<' characters in shell script | 08:07 |
| Gruber | ajah: read input normally | 08:07 |
| fritsch | Toneshifter: and look into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf remove the "#" in front of bcm43xx | 08:07 |

| Toneshifter | k, give me a sec | 08:07 |
| Gruber | ubuntu__: is your username on the remote machine "ubuntu" | 08:07 |
| ubuntu__ | again remote being the one I am try to connect from | 08:08 |
| ubuntu__ | or too? | 08:08 |
| Gruber | ubuntu__: to | 08:08 |
| ubuntu__ | no | 08:08 |
| ubuntu__ | its gary | 08:08 |
| Gruber | ubuntu__: that's the issue then | 08:08 |
| ubuntu__ | its not asking me for a user like putty does | 08:08 |
| Gruber | ubuntu__: unless you use a username, it will use your current username | 08:08 |
| Gruber | ubuntu__: ssh on linux is different than putty | 08:08 |
| datalay | how can i list install applications? | 08:08 |
| ubuntu__ | Gruber, ok :) thanks | 08:09 |

| ubuntu__ | Gruber, right got it :) it is working now | 08:09 |
| Gruber | there we go | 08:09 |
| datalay | how can i remove an applications with no-deps | 08:10 |
| The_BROS | Is anybody here who uses scanner on Epson TX650? | 08:10 |
| fritsch | datalay: apt-get autoremove | 08:10 |
| ubuntu__ | Gruber, hmm interesting it seems that my connection via putty on windows 7 craps out quick yet I am now connected via ubuntu live cd on the same machine as the windows machine and its not kicking me out very odd (at least I know its not a hardware issue with my nic card :) | 08:10 |
| ajah | Gruber, when i type something in terminal than << and something it prompts me something like > what is this | 08:11 |
| fritsch | ubuntu__: why should you be kicked out? | 08:11 |
| fritsch | ubuntu__: you can have multiple connections to the same host, with the same user name | 08:11 |
| ubuntu__ | fritsch, not sure but it keeps kicking me out saying that its loosing connection | 08:11 |
| fritsch | oha | 08:11 |
| ubuntu__ | thus why I am trying it from an ubuntu live cd to see if it was a hardware issue or just winblows | 08:12 |
| fritsch | i think your router is to blame | 08:12 |
| th0r | ajah: you should consult the Advanced Bash Scripting guide at the linux documetation project (tldp.org) | 08:12 |
| ubuntu__ | fritsch, but again same router same connection different os | 08:12 |
| ubuntu__ | Gruber, how do I connect if the private key is name garysmachine and not id_rsa? | 08:13 |
| Toneshifter | fritsch there is no # in front of bcm43xx there is a word "blacklist" instead | 08:13 |
| Toneshifter | should i remove it ? | 08:14 |
| fritsch | Toneshifter: no its okay | 08:14 |
| fritsch | Toneshifter: keep it | 08:14 |
| Toneshifter | k | 08:14 |

| Caesi | Hi everyone. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 on an old computer of mine, but get this error message when I boot from the CD: "(intranmfs= mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem squash fs failed: Input/output error" - any ideas anyone? Thank you. | 08:16 |

| fritsch | Caesi: just an idea | 08:16 |
| c[_] | whats the difference with live cd and usb? | 08:16 |
| Caesi | <fritsch> maybe I'll just try with a USB drive.. easier | 08:17 |
| Caesi | thank you though | 08:17 |
| fritsch | Caesi: jep, you can do this | 08:17 |
| fritsch | Caesi: just though "old computer" and you speciall mentioned CD | 08:17 |

| fireprint | hey guys. im wondering. i had to restart my router last night. My ubuntu server downstairs then went offline.. im wondering, is there a way in textmode to make the server "ping" for a connection.. and if its not found, it then will do a ifconfig eth0 up or summin.. and then ofcourse do nothing if it pings a connection... that make any sense? ;) | 08:22 |

| Gruber | gaurav_sood91: with respect, you should have researched what you where doing more | 09:05 |
| th_ | gaurav_sood91: i made mistake of installing gnome3 from ppa once too, ended up reinstalling, even removing all possible gnome packages and reinstall all ubuntu-desktop deps didn't help | 09:05 |
| Gruber | gaurav_sood91: (if the installation was that important) | 09:06 |
| th_ | gaurav_sood91: gnome3 left still bunch of incompatbile binaries and files around | 09:06 |
| rww | gaurav_sood91: which part of "cannot be downgraded safely" and "EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE"... | 09:06 |
| Gruber | the gnome3 PPA will update some core libraries, that you won't be able to resolve | 09:06 |
| gaurav_sood91 | hmmmm. thats sad. was looking forward to gnome3, and have now messed up my system | 09:06 |
| gaurav_sood91 | apart from that, is there a safe way to install the ati drivers on ubuntu? | 09:07 |
| Gruber | gaurav_sood91: as I say, research before rushing in | 09:07 |

| theozaurus | fritsch: I believe I need, erlang-base, erlang-dev and erlang-nox | 09:27 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: apt-get update && apt-get install erlang-base=1.0.x.y | 09:28 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: replacing 1.0.x.y with the version you need | 09:28 |
| ubuntu__ | iceroot, will do for sure :) thank you | 09:28 |
| theozaurus | ideally I want to rebuild it on 10 so it is native for 10, then use the PPA to setup future servers | 09:28 |
| ubuntu__ | iceroot, do you know why the got rid of the old boot screen for livecd? | 09:28 |
| iceroot | ubuntu__: dont know, dont using splash-screens | 09:29 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: okay, so just get the 8.04 sources, buildpackages, bump your version number, that it is bigger than the 10 version | 09:29 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: i would rather fix the current erlang version | 09:29 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: do you have an error mesage, what happens, if you run your software on the 10 version? | 09:29 |
| theozaurus | fritsch: Sadly it isn't that simple | 09:29 |
| ubuntu__ | iceroot, no the screen you see when you first put in the livecd asking if you want to install or try seems to have been moved to after the desktop starts | 09:30 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: erlang is rather old, so if 10 version is not working anymore, this is a big problem | 09:30 |
| theozaurus | fritsch: The code does not compile with a newer version of Erlang, and while updates exist for to correct this. These updates break other things | 09:30 |
| iceroot | ubuntu__: dont using normal ubuntu-cds for installation :) | 09:30 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: so the ubuntu erlang version is broken? | 09:31 |
| theozaurus | fritsch: Not at all, we are forced to run an old version of ejabberd, and an old version of ejabberd is not compatible with Erlang R13 | 09:31 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: http://www.erlang-solutions.com/section/72/packages <- did you have a look here | 09:31 |
| ubuntu__ | iceroot, ok no problem just was curios thanks all the same :) | 09:31 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: oha, okay | 09:31 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: no chance of porting? | 09:32 |
| theozaurus | fritsch: No | 09:32 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: okay, than there is no other solution, just messing up :-) | 09:32 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: let me have a look of the build depends | 09:33 |
| iceroot | ubuntu__: you are welcome | 09:33 |
| theozaurus | fritsch: TBH, I haven't had a change to go through the build deps, I spent a lot of time yesterday on pbuilder - but I was on a 64bit machine, and need to compile for a 32bit one. | 09:33 |
| theozaurus | fritsch: However pbuilder didn't seem to setup the tool chain correctly for i386 | 09:34 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: hardy uses erlang 11, correct? | 09:34 |
| theozaurus | yes | 09:34 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/erlang-base you could get the orig pacakges here and the deb diff | 09:34 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: and try to build :-) | 09:35 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: the build dependencies are rather minimal, i see here | 09:35 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: just get the tar.gz the diff.gz and build locally | 09:35 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: if this is gonny working on 10.04 | 09:35 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: i would go the next step using pbuilder | 09:35 |
| theozaurus | fritsch: I wish I could of got pbuilder working! | 09:36 |
| theozaurus | fritsch: That seems to be the proper way of porting packages between versions | 09:36 |
| === User909 is now known as Guest909 | ||
| fritsch | theozaurus: yes it is | 09:37 |
| === Guest909 is now known as User909 | ||
| fritsch | theozaurus: you are running 10.04, correct? | 09:37 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: aftere read the dependencies, it is really doable - should be no problem | 09:37 |
| Fudge | hi got acer aspire 5560G amd laptop the cpu is 3500M, have cpufreqd installed but I can not get cpu speed above 1.5ghz and turbomode says goes up to 2.4ghz. At bios level there is nothing configurable, any ideas on what I could do or perhaps try other packages that may give me the amd support at a software level? | 09:38 |
| theozaurus | well yesterday I tried it on 11 amd64, today I might try pbuilder on 10.04 i386 (my target platform) | 09:39 |
| fritsch | theozaurus: jep, will work for sure :-) | 09:41 |
| theozaurus | fritsch: Thanks, I'll let you know how I get on :) | 09:42 |

| damg | if you want to put the process into background - ctrl-z and then bg. if the process became a zombie, nothing helps but switching to a different console and killing it from there with ps + kill | 10:38 |

| ikr11 | Hi, I was trying to configure an Ubuntu VM as a pxe server following the DisklessUbuntuHowto tutorial and now I'm not able to boot. I get this message: IP-CONFIG: eth1 <mac.addr> mty 1500 DHCP RARP | 12:08 |
| ikr11 | actually I dind't follow the guide completely, I'm just trying to undo all the changes | 12:09 |
| profservers | ikr11, what doesn't boot? The ubuntu box (pxe server) or the machine that should boot through pxe? | 12:10 |
| Faustus2 | anyone else experiencing that the computer freez when connecting usb 3 external hdd? (Ubuntu 11.04, kernel:2.6.39-0-generic) | 12:12 |
| ikr11 | profservers, the ubuntu machine which was trying to hold the pxe server | 12:12 |
| ikr11 | I'm just trying to undo all the changes I made and go back to normal | 12:12 |
| profservers | ikr11, if you try to undo the changes, then delete the dhcp daemon from autostart | 12:13 |
| profservers | I assume you receive this error because of that | 12:14 |
| ikr11 | profservers, thanks I will try that | 12:15 |
| profservers | you can boot from a live cd, mount the / partition, and remove the symlinks from /etc/rc*d/ | 12:15 |

| dai | hey guys, how do you call the root directory when you want to direct a program to a file? | 12:18 |
| profservers | dai, / | 12:18 |
| dai | /root/foldername/filename doesn't work for me | 12:18 |
| profservers | mkdir -p /root/foldername/ | 12:19 |
| profservers | be sure it doesn't contain spaces | 12:19 |
| DustyMonk | what does -p do? | 12:19 |
| profservers | DustyMonk, it creates all tree structure, even if some upper folders don't exist | 12:19 |
| llutz | dai: root-directory (aka root-filesystem) is / . This is not root-homedir, which is "/root" | 12:20 |
| dai | the directory with pictures, documents images etc is the root directory right? | 12:21 |
| profservers | dai, it's in the home directory | 12:21 |
| llutz | dai: no thats directories inside your $HOME | 12:21 |
| dai | oh.. | 12:21 |
| profservers | dai, like that: ~/ | 12:21 |
| profservers | this is how you call it. | 12:21 |
| dai | so I have this word file I want to sort in a folder inside home, do i type sort /home/folder/word.txt > 1.txt ? | 12:22 |
| profservers | dai, sort /home/folder/word.txt > ~/1.txt | 12:23 |

| jason___ | Hey guys - Question - I'm dealing with LTSP in a mixed environment. I'd like to use an Intel/AMD server and PowerPC (old Mac) systems as the clients. I have the PPC chroot and DHCP set up. The problem is, I hand out a DHCP address, but I do not see any TFTP entries in syslog. I'm curious if anybody has any experience netbooting PPC systems with Ubuntu? | 12:30 |
| profservers | jason___, are there any other dhcp servers in the network? | 12:30 |
| elky | never ever run a script someone gives you that involves touching your /etc/passwd unless you know precisely what it's doing and why. even if you do know, it's stupid. | 12:30 |
| jason___ | profservers: no. this is a secluded network. nobody else on it except my test environment. | 12:30 |
| umadbro | nice advice | 12:31 |
| profservers | jason___, how do the machines gather ip addresses? Isn't there a router or something? | 12:31 |
| jason___ | profservers: I can see the DHCP lease entry in the server when it hands out the IP. The system just has no idea what to do with the IP. It should know to pull up /opt/ltsp/powerpc as the chroot, but it does not, which is a failure @ TFTP. | 12:31 |
| jason___ | profservers: this is just on a switch. No router. Static IP to the server. I've done this test environment no less than 30 times and it's worked without a hitch every time. | 12:31 |
| jason___ | profservers: as long as I have a switch and a DHCP server, I'm golden. | 12:31 |

| WLU | ActionParsnip: No anything can do it. evince xemacs even a gnome-termnal ... | 13:09 |
| GriGi | but i deleted my "user" status too, you know i mean that "example_user" near shutdown button | 13:09 |
| matlock | someone help me set up my box to fax? | 13:09 |
| matlock | !fax | 13:09 |
| matlock | nothing huh? | 13:09 |
| GriGi | are there any chances that i can get my envelope icon with that "username" near shutdown button back? Im using 11.04 with unity | 13:09 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest74011: which video chip? | 13:11 |
| WLU | ActionParsnip: Yes it is (I think) because it is happening on three different systems (10.10 did not do that) | 13:11 |
| matlock | yeats, already tried that. | 13:11 |
| twiztid | umadbro: i have compiz cube running flawlessly with unity | 13:11 |
| umadbro | "..no it didn't" | 13:11 |
| matlock | but it's telling me to use a serial port | 13:11 |
| umadbro | :) | 13:11 |
| umadbro | oh nice | 13:11 |
| matlock | i don't have any serial ports | 13:11 |
| Guest74011 | Hi ActionParsnip. Do you mean which V-card? | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest74011: just the chip is all we need, what are you using? | 13:11 |
| Guest74011 | Toshiba laptop, ATI Radeon 3400 series | 13:12 |

| GirlyGirl | matlock: Is your dial-up modem working? | 13:14 |
| matlock | no | 13:14 |
| matlock | wanna know why? | 13:15 |
| matlock | there's no friggin wizard to tell me how to set it up | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupAndFax | 13:15 |
| matlock | dammit | 13:15 |
| matlock | i tried that | 13:15 |
| hulkhogan | lol | 13:15 |

| th0r | matlock: easiest way is to use minicom to get it working. And read the rules if you want help | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: ust because there isn't a 'wizard' doesn't mean it can never be configured... | 13:15 |
| llutz | for some it means | 13:16 |
| matlock | so then what's the point of having a how to that doesn't tell us how to install the required hardware for the fax to work? | 13:16 |
| volga629 | where can find information for Directory Server installation on lucid 10.04 | 13:17 |
| hoverbear | matlock: You're welcome to write your own how to once you get it working. | 13:17 |
| GirlyGirl | matlock: Why would the howto say anything about installing hardware .... Ubuntu support including this channel is for software help | 13:17 |
| volga629 | thank in advance for info | 13:17 |
| matlock | th0r, can you please elaborate on how to use minicom? | 13:17 |
| matlock | hey, i'm sorry if this type of thing should just work out of the box | 13:18 |
| matlock | but it appears ubuntu's motto is broken | 13:18 |
| matlock | because nothing seems to work anymore. | 13:18 |
| GirlyGirl | matlock: Post the output of "lspci" on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 13:18 |
| th0r | matlock: minicom is a cli app that allows you to talk to the serial port/modem. | 13:18 |
| hulkhogan | use windows | 13:18 |
| matlock | ok | 13:18 |
| matlock | hulkhogan, can't. | 13:18 |

| matlock | no the motto used to be 'it just works' | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: I gave a link, does it help? | 13:19 |
| matlock | but it doesn't | 13:19 |
| GirlyGirl | matlock: Post the output of "lspci" on http://paste.ubuntu.com | 13:20 |
| matlock | ActionParsnip, considering i tried that before i came here... no | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: in most cases, it does | 13:20 |
| hulkhogan | use email then | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: well, I'm not privvy to that information am I? My psychic powers are a little off so you'll have to tell me what you tried and haven't. ok? | 13:20 |
| llutz | hulkhogan: stop it | 13:20 |
| matlock | why did he leave | 13:20 |
| matlock | frak | 13:20 |
| matlock | minicom is talking to /dev/tty8 is that the port i should put in efax-gtk? | 13:21 |
| llutz | matlock: what port is your modem connected to? | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: what is the line in the output of: lspci that identifies the modem? | 13:21 |
| matlock | I DON'T KNOW | 13:21 |
| kcj | Why can't I "sudo echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness"? | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | kcj: sudo doesn't traverse the > | 13:21 |
| matlock | OK here's the full details. | 13:22 |
| GirlyGirl | matlock: USB, PCI ... | 13:22 |
| kcj | ah | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: then run the command and it will tell you..... | 13:22 |
| llutz | matlock: "dmesg | less" read the output and check what port and stopp to SHOUT | 13:22 |
| matlock | i have a laptop with a rj11 | 13:22 |
| matlock | i need to send a fax | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: rj11 is the physical port, it tells us NOTHING of the modem | 13:22 |
| GirlyGirl | matlock: Post output for lspci | 13:22 |
| llutz | so its a builtin (winmodem most likely) matlock | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: run: lspci in a terminal, one line will identify the device | 13:22 |
| hulkhogan | take pix with iphone and send | 13:22 |

| Guest74011 | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/et941dm0 | 13:23 |
| bazhang | GirlyGirl, thats not needed | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | kcj: if you add: vm.swappiness = 5 to /etc/sysctl.conf then run: sudo sysctl -p it will apply | 13:23 |
| GirlyGirl | bazhang: sorry | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest74011: looks like you are using the proprietary driver, not sure. You may need an xorg.conf file to set higher | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | bazhang: thanks | 13:24 |
| matlock | the link is above for my lspci | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: there is no modem device listed, is it enabled in BIOS? | 13:25 |
| GirlyGirl | matlock: What laptop model is this | 13:25 |
| Guest74011 | ActionParsnip: Yes, I am using the proprietary driver. Does that hold me back? Where can I get an xorg.conf file? | 13:25 |
| matlock | dont' see why it would be disabled | 13:25 |
| matlock | works fine in windows when i had it installed | 13:25 |
| GriGi | anybody know how i can bring up "messages" indicator? i removed it but now i want it back -,- | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest74011: no should make things nice. | 13:25 |
| matlock | by *it* i mean windows | 13:25 |
| GriGi | there are indicator-me for me menu, are there any indicator for messages? | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: maybe there is a bug with the kernel and the modem. What make and model is the laptop? | 13:26 |
| matlock | asus M70vm-x1 | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest74011: the xorg.conf file is quite complex, you'll find samples and guides online | 13:26 |
| matlock | and iv'e noticed there are a few problems with the various releases and this specific laptop. | 13:26 |
| matlock | so i wouldn't rule that out | 13:27 |
| Guest74011 | ActionParsnip: Ah, so maybe it's something I shouldn't mess with then? | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest74011: its your call dude | 13:27 |
| GirlyGirl | matlock: You can confirm that this modem device has been used in the past? | 13:28 |
| matlock | GirlyGirl, yes | 13:28 |
| jason___ | Question - Has anybody had any experience with netbooting PPC systems on an Ubuntu LTSP DHCP server? They get an IP (on a testing secluded network) but they never receive TFTP instructions beyond that. | 13:28 |
| matlock | GirlyGirl, several times | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: are there any bugs reported? Have you reported one yourself? | 13:28 |
| matlock | GirlyGirl, on windows though | 13:29 |
| matlock | ActionParsnip, no | 13:29 |
| matlock | because i don't know where to start/what to report | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: don't you think you should, to see if its a known issue? | 13:29 |
| Guest74011 | ActionParsnip: Is this where I start? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 13:29 |
| matlock | and what would i report? | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: report the modem isn't detected, as you can see from lspci output | 13:29 |
| GirlyGirl | matlock: type dmesg and search for any failure reports | 13:31 |
| matlock | dmesg |grep failure reports nothing | 13:31 |
| warfaren | try grep fail instead | 13:32 |
| GirlyGirl | matlock: Hmm sorry can't think of anything ... you have to file a bug report | 13:32 |
| warfaren | i think most times it will say failed, and not failure | 13:33 |
| matlock | so... what package would i report? | 13:33 |
| llutz | matlock: "sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m" any output? if no output, pastebin "dmesg | tail -10" pls | 13:33 |
| matlock | ok here's what comes from dmesg |grep failed | 13:34 |
| matlock | http://paste.ubuntu.com/703961/ | 13:34 |
| Guest74011 | ActionParsnip: If I just reinstall with the monitor attached, will I then have the missing resolution? | 13:34 |
| matlock | and somehow i don't think that's related | 13:34 |
| dell_ | By running $sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer I am getting Error as: dpkg: error processing firmware-b43-installer (--configure):subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: firmware-b43-installer E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Please reply me to resolve this Error | 13:34 |
| matlock | llutz, and no output so.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/703962/ | 13:35 |
| warfaren | hm. dmesg have no timestamps ?:O | 13:35 |
| Lieberanonym | servus | 13:36 |
| llutz | warfaren: grep PRINTK_TIME /boot/config-$(uname -r) | 13:37 |
| matlock | so if i were to report a bug.. what 'package' would i report | 13:37 |
| matlock | and this still doesn't solve my problem at all | 13:37 |
| matlock | >:O | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest74011: the EDID should pick up the display, you may need the xorg.conf to override that setting and use the resolution you set | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: run: ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic | 13:38 |
| matlock | cool | 13:38 |
| llutz | matlock: your problem is, that most modems are so called "winmodems" which use minimum hardware and the rest is done in win-drivers. those might work with linux, but most just fail. | 13:39 |
| matlock | yea that's what i was hoping wasn't the case | 13:39 |
| dai | hey, how do you combine 2 wordlist files one after the other? | 13:40 |

| llutz | dai: sort -o newfile file1 file2 | 13:41 |
| dai | Pici: sorry if i'm wrong but isn't cat used for viewing ? | 13:41 |
| llutz | cat (1) - concatenate files and print on the standard output | 13:41 |
| snoeman | Is there an application to watch webcam video on a remote networked computer | 13:42 |
| dai | llutz: ah olay! | 13:42 |
| === max is now known as Guest40701 | ||
| dai | Ill try it thx :D | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | cat redirected to a result file will make a new file though | 13:42 |
| archae | For 11.04, what is the name of the system app that displays the evolution icon, time and date, power button, etc on the taskbar? I am unsure why, but it seems to be uninstalled. | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !panels | archae | 13:43 |
| ubottu | archae: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 13:43 |
| shomon | hi, I'm doing screenshots on a dual screen monitor,but the bottom half shows up blank... can I fix this somehow? | 13:44 |
| matlock | question: if i were to run sudo lshw -C network assuming the modem was installed and working, should it be seen by that command? | 13:44 |
| shomon | gimp doesn't do it, but the alt-prtscr key combo has this... | 13:44 |
| dai | Pici: worked! thanks :D | 13:44 |
| snoeman | sh | 13:45 |
| archae | ActionParsnip: thanks | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: install imagemagick and run: sleep 10; import ~/sceen.png the 10 is seconds to get the screen setup. Then draw a box around what you want to screenshot | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: not sure modems show in there, its free to try | 13:46 |
| shomon | oh wow, cool.. gimp is really clunky for that... | 13:46 |
| shomon | thanks | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: all the linux guides for your device don't have the modem tested :( | 13:47 |
| matlock | ActionParsnip, yea i saw that :( | 13:49 |
| matlock | well i found a tool that apparently helps me find my modem chipset | 13:53 |
| matlock | but decoding the output file is a bit too technical for me | 13:53 |
| matlock | http://paste.ubuntu.com/703971/ | 13:53 |
| danfrincu | hello, is there any way to record the entries that a user does (mouse and keyboard relative position) and push them via mago to desktop automatic testing? | 13:54 |
| danfrincu | record as in something that would yield an XML? | 13:54 |
| llutz | matlock: try using "/dev/ttySL0" as device in efax-whatever | 13:56 |
| matlock | failure | 13:57 |
| matlock | ttySL0 not exist | 13:57 |
| Guest74011 | ActionParsnip: I'm gonna just go with a reinstall. I can't understand the xorg thing. Thanks for your time. | 13:58 |
| matlock | i think that script wants me to use this for the modem | 13:58 |
| matlock | http://paste.ubuntu.com/703975/ | 13:58 |
| llutz | matlock: read line 89++ of your paste before, it refers to agere-drivers. maybe you need to get/try them | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: try: sudo ln -s /dev/ttySL0 /dev/modem | 13:59 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: dead link since SL0 doesn't exist | 14:00 |
| matlock | ActionParsnip, neither of those paths exist though | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: the file you are linking to shouldn't exist ;) | 14:01 |
| matlock | llutz, yea i saw from the scanout.00:1b.0 doc that the script output that it mentions the same | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: thats why we make one, if your app expects /dev/modem then you can link the device name that does exist, to make it work | 14:01 |
| matlock | ActionParsnip, but /dev/ttySL0 doesn't exist either | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | matlock: thats an issue | 14:01 |
| matlock | i may be on to something here | 14:02 |
| matlock | though | 14:02 |
| llutz | matlock: get the debs from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ | 14:03 |

| steven__ | Hi everyone :) | 14:08 |
| SmokeyD | hey everyone, which python program is run by default on an ubuntu-server on a user login (in the shell, no gnome or other gui present)? | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | SmokeyD: ~/.bashrc is ran,its coded in bash script | 14:10 |
| steven__ | Is there a way I can create a symlink on my Desktop pointing to a directory from a smb:// location ? | 14:10 |
| SmokeyD | the thing is that on login, a program seems to hang or something, but when I hit ctrl-c, the program is terminated and I see a python traceback mentioning twisted | 14:10 |
| ywf | chat? | 14:10 |
| aprilus | inveratulo: i know.. but it's function is too simple | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | steven__: point it to the folder in ~/.gvfs | 14:10 |
| ywf | 偶 | 14:10 |
| ywf | 你们都是英语 | 14:11 |
| bazhang | !cn | ywf | 14:11 |
| ubottu | ywf: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | steven__: the link will be broken, til you mount the share | 14:11 |
| SmokeyD | after which I do get the bash shell. So some python program seems to fail or something. I'll check bashrc | 14:11 |
| steven__ | ActionParsnip: Can I make this location auto-mount^ | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | steven__: you can add it in /etc/fstab to mount as a local folder, or you can use gvfs-mount to tell it to mount ('ve not use gvfs-mount but know it can be used) | 14:12 |
| steven__ | Ok will try that, many thanks :) | 14:12 |
| karen_m | for those of you, that make the same mistake I did.... | 14:15 |
| steven__ | ActionParsnip: I dont know what to add in /etc/fstab :s | 14:15 |
| steven__ | ActionParsnip: The file is a bit more obscur than I thought :P | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | 14:16 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 14:16 |
| karen_m | if you have an encrypted home folder, change X so it doesn't ask for your password. Login, get errors.. wait a few ... alt+f6, login, sudo, gconfsetup, go back to alt+f6, wait... then it will ask you to login and then you can change your setting back to prompting for the password. Yay. | 14:16 |
| luca_ | Hi all. How can I deactivate some of the flashy theme settings in Ubuntu 11.04? Via compiz? | 14:20 |
| Ellipsis753 | Hey, my ubuntu computer is acting really strangly since it was once mounted read-only. I can't open the system monitor at the moment and if I open the terminal it's just a gray window. | 14:20 |
| Ellipsis753 | Any idea what I can do? | 14:20 |
| pangolin | !fsck | Ellipsis753 | 14:21 |
| ubottu | Ellipsis753: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 14:21 |
| jose | hola alguien sabe cuales son los mecanismos y politicas de seguridad que trae ubuntu | 14:21 |
| pangolin | !es | jose | 14:22 |
| ubottu | jose: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 14:22 |

| FreeWilly | so ive created some more users for my ubuntu server box, added them to the sudoers list, now when i use them to log into the box via putty, my terminal looks bit different. the cursor now is just next to a $ | 15:34 |
| v1kk1 | Hi all!! | 15:35 |
| v1kk1 | I need a help! | 15:35 |
| FreeWilly | when i log into the box via putty with the root user (dont ask) i get the root@boxname:~# | 15:35 |
| FreeWilly | why the two different curosr terminal points? | 15:35 |
| v1kk1 | how can I find a specific software in a ubuntu distro disc?? | 15:35 |
| Pici | FreeWilly: Sounds like you setup the users using useradd rather than adduser. The former will give the user's an 'sh' shell rather than bash and does not copy the contents of /etc/skel/ as well, among other things. | 15:37 |
| pangolin | v1kk1: apt-cache search package | 15:37 |
| FreeWilly | yes i used useradd | 15:37 |
| FreeWilly | argh | 15:37 |
| FreeWilly | can i fix this | 15:37 |
| FreeWilly | or must i delete them then re create them using adduser? | 15:37 |
| Pici | FreeWilly: Copy /etc/skel/ into all the user's home directories, then use usermod to change their shell's to bash | 15:38 |
| Pici | . | 15:38 |
| FreeWilly | coz when im in the terminal with newly created user, as i navigate to different paths it doesnt show me where i am, when i ls i get the contectnts thos | 15:38 |
| FreeWilly | Pici: if u dont mind have a look here...http://paste.ubuntu.com/704033/ | 15:40 |

| bloodwolf | @!~ | 15:41 |
| Tixos | can someone tell me why i cant install ruby1.9 ? | 15:41 |
| Pici | FreeWilly: they're all dotfiles in /etc/skel/, so just cp /etc/skel/* /home/willem/ | 15:41 |
| edbian | FreeWilly: /etc/skel is a file not a folder | 15:41 |
| edbian | FreeWilly: nevermind me last statement | 15:41 |

| edbian | zebulon: gparted ? What is your question more specifically? | 15:47 |
| FreeWilly | thanks Pici i did it the long way in /etc/passwd tho | 15:47 |
| FreeWilly | suppose does the same | 15:47 |
| Shatters | edbian that command didn't appear to do anything | 15:48 |
| meta-coder | #launchpad | 15:48 |
| zebulon | edbian have installed gparted, is not what i need, i need to now be able to manage/format/shrink/add clusters from my ntfs partition into my ubuntu drive, i know i can just use the ntfs drive though i want to slowly include it. | 15:48 |
| Shatters | unless I was supposed to type it elsewhere than terminal | 15:48 |
| edbian | zebulon: gparted can shrink / grow ntfs partitions | 15:48 |
| edbian | Shatters: ln creates symbolic links | 15:49 |
| edbian | Shatters: Have you ever created one before? | 15:49 |
| Shatters | where am I supposed to type or use that? | 15:49 |
| Shatters | no | 15:49 |
| zebulon | now that just shows... check after you have rebooted, before asking others silly questions :s | 15:49 |
| zebulon | thanks edbian!!! | 15:49 |
| Shatters | really need to learn though, because I'm running persistent on sd card with 1.9 gig space left and another 55 gig partition I'm trying to learn to use for this | 15:49 |
| edbian | Shatters: It's basically like a shortcut in windows. You should read about them first where you type that command matters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link | 15:50 |
| edbian | zebulon: sure | 15:50 |
| DustyMonk | zebulon: i used gparted, but did it overight, it takes several hours | 15:50 |
| DustyMonk | overnight* | 15:50 |
| edbian | DustyMonk: zebulon It takes several hours on a really big drive that is full if you're doing something like 'move' | 15:50 |
| edbian | DustyMonk: things like delete and shrink are near instant | 15:50 |
| zebulon | ed - i had a fully licensed version of windows 7 on that partition | 15:50 |
| edbian | zebulon: ok? | 15:51 |
| DustyMonk | edbian: i did it without dataloss | 15:51 |
| zebulon | ed - i installed ubuntu only to discover the dualboot loader not recognising the win7 OS at all | 15:51 |
| edbian | DustyMonk: great :) | 15:51 |
| zebulon | ed - no big deal, losing that OS... i'm enjoying linux more anyway ^^ | 15:51 |
| edbian | zebulon: sudo update-grub usually fixes stuff | 15:51 |

| delinquentme | downloading any random file ... from command line | 15:56 |
| delinquentme | how is this done | 15:56 |
| rhin0 | wget -- if from a url - or "curl" | 15:56 |
| edbian | delinquentme: wget http://www.file.com/something | 15:56 |
| rhin0 | I think wget will get a file | 15:56 |
| edbian | yes | 15:56 |
| delinquentme | awesome. | 15:56 |
| delinquentme | thanks | 15:56 |
| rhin0 | flexibly delinquentme | 15:56 |
| rhin0 | curl is worth looking at also delinquentme | 15:56 |
| rhin0 | robust | 15:56 |
| delinquentme | and how about unzipping that downloaded file | 15:58 |
| rhin0 | gunzip | 15:58 |
| fireprint | html | 15:58 |
| delinquentme | is that the tar -xygf | 15:58 |
| fireprint | hehe sorry | 15:58 |
| delinquentme | ? | 15:58 |
| skone | I have an old 6.06 system I am trying to udpate but none of my repositories work. How do I figure out what needs to be in sources.list ? | 15:58 |
| rhin0 | if its .gz - gunzip | 15:58 |
| rhin0 | if its .zip - unzip | 15:58 |
| rhin0 | I think | 15:58 |
| delinquentme | heres another question .. is there any way to actively run my ubuntu installation within a windows os? | 15:59 |
| rhin0 | vmware? | 15:59 |
| delinquentme | kind of like virtual boxing the primary OS | 15:59 |
| edbian | delinquentme: yes, virtualization | 15:59 |
| delinquentme | that would work? | 15:59 |
| edbian | delinquentme: you cannot virtualize the host OS | 16:00 |
| delinquentme | like you can select the primary | 16:00 |
| edbian | delinquentme: Why not run linux and virtualize windows ? | 16:00 |
| delinquentme | host OS ... being? | 16:00 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | delinquentme: no you can't virtualize the primary OS | 16:00 |
| delinquentme | edbian: im fixing ubuntu | 16:00 |
| rhin0 | thats what I do "virtualbox" If I need it | 16:00 |
| edbian | delinquentme: I'm not sure what the heck you're asking | 16:00 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | delinquentme: if yo uwant to run linux inside windows whilst using windows, you need to virtualize Linux, and that's all you can do | 16:00 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | wait, what/ | 16:00 |
| rhin0 | thing is delinquentme -- it runs completely separately -- if you need to share files between the OS s on the same machine you need to network it ... or transfer between volumes | 16:01 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | % | 16:01 |
| delinquentme | TheEvilPhoenix: the primary OS being the one which is invoked on boot .. which if im getting GRUB when i boot .. its linux ... and that cant be mounted | 16:01 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | delinquentme: then you're SOL | 16:01 |
| edbian | delinquentme: Here is how virtualization works. You have 2 OS's one is host (actually installed) one is guest (in the vm). You get to pick both. | 16:01 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | there's no way to "virtualize" a partition | 16:01 |
| rhin0 | its not like they share a desktop ... (although cut and paste will work within / wihtout virtualbox) | 16:01 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | edbian: we're off that now | 16:01 |
| rhin0 | "virtualbox" delinquentme | 16:01 |
| Shatters | interesting article about symlinks, but I just noticed the easy answer would have been right-click 'make link' | 16:01 |
| Shatters | so thanks | 16:01 |
| rhin0 | is in synaptic | 16:01 |
| delinquentme | yeah im familar with it ... but its not going to work here | 16:02 |
| delinquentme | thanks though | 16:02 |

| rhin0 | crackerjackz: personally I found NFS easier to set up than samba -- I think samba uses NFS anyway -- NFS is extremely basic and very easy to set up -- just some configuration of the firewall to allow port access is needed | 16:53 |
| ZontaX | hi, when the ubuntu 11.10's gonna be released plz, i come from Fedora community ! say hey to me XD | 16:53 |

| rhin0 | crackerjackz: NFS is "network filing system" - the basic way to share directories - mount machines volumes on client from server - you need to "sudo apt-get install nfs-common portmap nfs-kernel-server" on server machine and "sudo apt-get install nfs-common portmap" on client machine then you set up /etc/exports to detail the shares on the server then you allow the clients to access the server (setting up the ufw firewall if you | 16:58 |

| crackerjackz | rhin0, thank you very much for taking the time to explain all of this to me | 17:01 |
| rhin0 | np crackerjackz | 17:01 |
| LocoenelCoco | nevermind i found how | 17:01 |
| tibrox | ariane, Hi from South Africa. Too bad about your rugby team ;) | 17:01 |
| rhin0 | cut n paste what I told you but the basis of it is in the NFS howto crackerjackz | 17:01 |
| Deddly | Any ideas why this computer is now asking for the password for going online through the wireless router every time it boots? | 17:01 |
| crackerjackz | good idea | 17:01 |
| rhin0 | it can be fiddly -- make sure that the firewall is set up - and also on the server - "sudo exportfs -a" <- exports the settings to the NFS when you have set it up - otherwise things won't work crackerjackz | 17:02 |
| GirlyGirl | cristian_c: SOrry I was not there ... where were we? | 17:02 |
| ariane | hahah - tibrox - yeah, we're used to this. I used to live in SA. Where are you? | 17:02 |

| cristian_c | GirlyGirl, I've typed sudo wvdialconf | 17:03 |
| ariane | I am in Scotland - used to live in Dunottar, near Nigel and Springs in Gauteng Province. | 17:03 |
| rhin0 | crackerjackz: the ip addresses of local/client machines within the network are gained by using the command "ifconfig" and within the information you get that command the ip address will be that within the "wlan0" section if you have wireless | 17:04 |
| ariane | oh sorry - i am in trouble for being offtopic | 17:04 |
| ariane | I apologise. | 17:04 |
| tibrox | np ;) | 17:04 |
| pangolin | ariane: not in trouble, just wanted to let you know of the off topic channel so we can keep this one for support only. | 17:04 |
| rhin0 | thats what you use to allow access from the server - (with "sudo ufw allow from portno to any") <- allows access from ip address to any port | 17:04 |
| tibrox | can anyone advise me on desktop user permissions to access my external drive, pls? | 17:04 |
| rhin0 | although you could narrow it down to the nfs port crackerjackz | 17:05 |
| ariane | np - i understand. | 17:05 |
| GirlyGirl | cristian_c: and ... | 17:05 |
| crackerjackz | rhin0 so something like sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.4:22 to any ? | 17:06 |
| cristian_c | GirlyGirl, I've deleted wvdial.conf before | 17:06 |
| rhin0 | yes if thats what the ufw manual says I haven't ever set up my ip address for a specific port I just use sudo ufw enable http or enable ssh etc | 17:06 |
| rhin0 | crackerjackz: | 17:06 |
| crackerjackz | rhin0, what protocall does nfs use? | 17:07 |
| rhin0 | crackerjackz: may be sudo ufw allow from portno to port | 17:07 |
| rhin0 | from ip address to port I mean crackerjackz | 17:07 |

| primoz007 | any ideas why unity won't work? | 17:47 |
| rhin0 | maybe your graphics card isn't capable of running it primoz007 it requires power in graphics | 17:48 |
| Islam | how can I log into a partition on terminal without having to open it through the browser ? | 17:48 |
| theadmin | By "power in graphics" rhin0 means 3D acceleartion support | 17:48 |
| rhin0 | or you need proprietary drivers to be loaded to enable it to work - proprietary for your graphics card from your graphics card vendor site | 17:48 |
| theadmin | Islam: lolwut? You mean change a directory? "cd /wherever" | 17:48 |
| nocilis | ambuj not what I meant, what is the program you are trying to install? | 17:48 |
| rhin0 | is it 3d theadmin | 17:48 |
| rhin0 | doesn't look 3d to me Oo | 17:48 |
| Islam | I have to open it through the browser so the mount folder would creat | 17:48 |
| primoz007 | i have nvidia geoforce gt320M | 17:48 |
| theadmin | rhin0: Well it needs 3D acceleration | 17:49 |
| Islam | no no , there is a mount folder | 17:49 |
| theadmin | Islam: Ah... "sudo mount /dev/sdXY /media/whatever" | 17:49 |
| rhin0 | but what is that if you don't see "3d" theadmin | 17:49 |
| ambuj | nocilis : bitnami lamp stack | 17:49 |
| theadmin | rhin0: I dunno. | 17:49 |
| theadmin | rhin0: Unity is too weird for me, hey, I use Xfce | 17:49 |
| shuaib | how do I make ubuntu boot to console only, no gui | 17:49 |
| rhin0 | I currently have desktop effects disabled in 10.04 | 17:49 |
| Islam | this should open the folder without the need to open it through the browser ? | 17:49 |
| theadmin | !text | shuaib | 17:49 |
| ubottu | shuaib: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 17:49 |
| theadmin | Islam: This will just mount it | 17:49 |
| rhin0 | even that freezes on my inspiron m5010 (dell) | 17:49 |
| Islam | aha, so its easier to open it first | 17:50 |
| ambuj | nocilis : its package fro apache , php and mysql | 17:50 |
| Islam | isnt there any way to bypass that mount thing on terminal ? | 17:50 |
| nocilis | ambuj kk, looks like it should work just by running it | 17:50 |
| Shawty | Hi, how do I order several cases of Ubuntu Cola to my house? I can't remember finding an ordering form. | 17:50 |
| theadmin | Islam: Well, fstab? | 17:50 |
| Islam | and whats the use of it any wat | 17:50 |
| nocilis | ambuj if you have problems you probably need to run as root | 17:50 |
| crackerjackz | <rhin0> crackerjackz: sudo mount 192.168.1.69:/mountdirectory /mounttodirectory -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr,noatime <- these options at the end of your mount command (when you get it working) will speed the NFS up - otherwise it can be deathly slow (did you mean to do that from the server machine) i'm at the part where i have to edit /etc/exports | 17:50 |
| Islam | way* | 17:50 |
| ambuj | kk | 17:50 |
| Islam | whats fstab ? | 17:51 |
| theadmin | Islam: "mount" basically means "assign a folder to a device". In Windows, it's more like "assign a drive letter like C or D to a device", if that makes sense | 17:51 |
| ambuj | nocilis: its running | 17:51 |
| rhin0 | no thats the client crackerjackz | 17:51 |
| theadmin | !fstab | Islam | 17:51 |
| ubottu | Islam: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 17:51 |
| nocilis | ambuj high five :) | 17:51 |
| rhin0 | you are editing /etc/exports on the server crackerjackz | 17:51 |
| cypha | anyone able to get PIL to pip install to a virtual environment with --no-site-packages AND able to find the png (zip) library? | 17:51 |
| ambuj | nocilis: from where i can get the info about different commands in linux | 17:51 |
| rhin0 | the mount command is issued from the client to mount the server volume to mount point (in that order in the command) crackerjackz | 17:51 |
| crackerjackz | rhin0, ahhh okay, i see | 17:52 |
| nocilis | ambuj try "man <programname>" | 17:52 |
| Islam | aha, so can I give the partition a drive name instead of the mount ? | 17:52 |
| ambuj | nocilis: what is it | 17:52 |
| nocilis | ambuj for instance "man chmod" | 17:52 |
| nocilis | ambuj the ubuntu system manual | 17:52 |
| rhin0 | leave the options off for now crackerjackz (-o wsize -rsize atime) etc | 17:52 |
| rhin0 | thats just to speed it up | 17:52 |
| Epona | ubuntu makes no sense | 17:52 |
| theadmin | Islam: "drive name" is the folder where it's mounted, a mountpoint, if that's what you mean | 17:52 |
| Epona | >carries python2.7 | 17:52 |
| ambuj | nocilis : thanks | 17:52 |
| Epona | >doesn't have yum | 17:52 |
| nocilis | ambuj no problem | 17:53 |
| Islam | yeah I mean that, | 17:53 |
| theadmin | Epona: We haz APT. | 17:53 |
| Epona | apt is less powerful | 17:53 |
| andyvy | Epona: you're in the wrong distro! | 17:53 |
| theadmin | Epona: And please. Yum is the worst package manager in existence. | 17:53 |
| Pici | !enter | 17:53 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 17:53 |
| nocilis | Epona: it comes with a version of python at least, unlike windows | 17:53 |
| Islam | all I need is to open terminal type cd media/songs | 17:53 |
| Epona | I was comparing it to centos | 17:53 |
| Epona | actually | 17:53 |
| Islam | without having to mount it first and all that | 17:53 |
| Epona | windows is just silly | 17:53 |
| theadmin | Islam: I suppose, except you are missing the initial slash | 17:53 |
| theadmin | Epona: This is a support channel | 17:53 |
| Pici | Epona: Please don't press enter between every three words, it makes this channel unreadable. If you have a support question, feel free to ask. | 17:54 |
| Epona | my mistake | 17:54 |
| * theadmin hates RPM. | 17:54 | |
| DustyMonk | Epona: centos is not debian based | 17:54 |
| rhin0 | its good that rpm is there as an option if you need it theadmin -- rpm I find works quite ok | 17:54 |
| nocilis | Epona try #ubuntu-offtopic maybe? | 17:54 |
| theadmin | rhin0: Meh, I just use pacman most of the time ;) | 17:54 |
| Islam | I dont want the mount point and the need to mount it like this /media/01CB63DB15FC1220/Songs | 17:54 |
| FireRailz | How can I switch my apt-get repos. database back to the system wide version? | 17:54 |
| fritsch | rpm is good input for alien :-) that`s it | 17:55 |
| * rhin0 still hasn't got around to installing pacman - must do theadmin | 17:55 | |
| theadmin | rhin0: "installing" pacman? | 17:55 |
| rhin0 | yes | 17:55 |
| Islam | I wanna open it easy like this cd /media/Songs | 17:55 |
| theadmin | rhin0: It comes with The Distro, Arch. You don't "install" it. | 17:55 |
| Islam | is there a way to do that ? | 17:55 |
| rhin0 | whats the command to get pacman theadmin? thought pacman was a proprietary game | 17:55 |
| fritsch | Islam: yes there is | 17:55 |
| rhin0 | i'm running 10.04 | 17:55 |
| Islam | thanx fritsch, how can I do that | 17:56 |
| ambuj | fritsch : Hello | 17:56 |
| theadmin | rhin0: Pacman is the package manager for Arch, it's not available (or, well, at least useful) for other distros | 17:56 |
| crackerjackz | rhin0, when i restarted the server it says this.. is it complaining about something exportfs: No host name given with /export/music (rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async), suggest *(rw,nohide,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) to avoid warning | 17:56 |
| rhin0 | oh I was talking about the game thought you were too theadmin | 17:56 |
| zooka | theadmin - I think he's talking about the arcade game | 17:56 |
| theadmin | Ah I see xD | 17:56 |
| ambuj | fritsch : remember me | 17:57 |
| fritsch | Islam: just thinking of what would be best - that everything other still works | 17:57 |
| fritsch | ambuj: can`t forget you :-) | 17:57 |
| rhin0 | you need either the host name or the ip address of the client machine crackerjackz (in /etc/exports) | 17:57 |
| ambuj | fritsch : HAHAHA | 17:57 |
| fritsch | ambuj: hehe | 17:57 |
| Islam | all I need is to log to my files through terminal withough having to mount the partition by opening it by the browser | 17:57 |
| ambuj | fritsch : carry on with your talks i m not disturbing | 17:58 |
| fritsch | Islam: you can use autofs | 17:58 |
| Islam | how ? | 17:58 |
| crackerjackz | rhin0, what if i copied the example exact from the manual (aside from the directory name) | 17:58 |
| crackerjackz | since i named it something different | 17:58 |
| rhin0 | "/export 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) <- where the ip address can be the hostname (I think) crackerjackz - that is /etc/exports | 17:58 |
| fritsch | Islam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs <- have a look here | 17:59 |
| rhin0 | you need your ip address or hostname .. you find what the client machine ip is with ifconfig on the client crackerjackz | 17:59 |
| rhin0 | put that ip address into the line I show you above (but avoid the /24) ... crackerjackz | 17:59 |
| fritsch | Islam: http://www.greenfly.org/tips/autofs.html | 17:59 |
| crackerjackz | rhin0, what if i want to share with a whole range of IPs | 17:59 |
| fritsch | Islam: bad colors, but ubuntu based ;-) | 17:59 |
| rhin0 | crackerjackz: I jus tput in sync,no_subtree_check | 18:00 |
| rhin0 | not on my sever now can't tell you its not on | 18:00 |
| fritsch | ambuj: everything allright, ubuntu working like a charme? | 18:00 |
| rhin0 | crackerjackz: you put one line for each client you want to share to into /etc/exports on the server | 18:01 |
| FireRailz | in epic IRC client does anyone know the command in IRC for it to stop showing everyone leaving and entering | 18:01 |
| zooka | FireRailz - funnily enough I was just asking the exact same question for Irssi | 18:01 |
| crackerjackz | rhin0, brb gonna get the client machine now... | 18:01 |
| theadmin | zooka: For irssi, /ignore * JOIN PART QUIT | 18:01 |
| theadmin | FireRailz: ^ try that, too | 18:01 |
| FireRailz | thank god :-) | 18:02 |
| zooka | theadmin - ooooh thank you :) | 18:02 |
| DustyMonk | thats what i did | 18:02 |
| zooka | theadmin - that's much nicer | 18:02 |
| FireRailz | it is so annoying I havn't used txt based irc since my bell labs days i dont remember all the commands | 18:02 |
| theadmin | zooka: lol | 18:02 |
| rhin0 | I think the 0/24 in the above is to share a range actually crackerjackz - so you can share to a client machine ip range in one line of /etc/exports -- check the nfs howto - never done it myself | 18:02 |
| ambuj | fritsch : off course .......If you r there then no probs | 18:03 |
| ambuj | fritsch : well , what does chmod command do? | 18:04 |
| FireRailz | I think there is a program that you can use to make a .deb file so it can be easy to add/remove whatever you compile from source does anyone know the name of it? | 18:04 |
| rhin0 | i just set up one line for each individual client (not many) crackerjackz | 18:04 |
| theadmin | FireRailz: checkinstall | 18:05 |
| rhin0 | its in the nfs to do ranges crackerjackz | 18:05 |
| rhin0 | nfs howto | 18:05 |
| FireRailz | Thank you theadmin, do you think that is worth using for small things like bsflite i noticed when i installed it just put the program in /usr/local | 18:06 |
| theadmin | FireRailz: Well, probably so, probably not, I dunno, I just write PKGBUILDs for stuff I compile from source that's not in the AUR :D | 18:07 |
| zmbmartin | I installed mysql then I ran sudo update-rc.d mysql remove but it still runs at startup? Is there a different way to remove those from startup? | 18:07 |
| theadmin | FireRailz: Cause I'm not an Ubuntu user xD So I have my own ways. | 18:07 |
| theadmin | zmbmartin: I think the proper name is "mysqld" | 18:08 |
| jburger | Hi There, I am trying to add my monitors suggested screen resolution "1440x900" and get the following error:jburger@jburger-dev:~$ xrandr --output default --mode 1440x900_79.30 | 18:08 |

| spockockt | Hello, is there a way to create a backup of a linux file system that is also mountable by windows? | 18:10 |
| theadmin | spockockt: No. Windows can *not* mount Linux filesystems, period. | 18:10 |
| zooka | theadmin / spockockt - ext2fsd will let you mount ext2 and ext3 (and it actually mounts my ext4 as well) | 18:10 |
| rhin0 | can't he create an NFS volume and within linux -- copy the files to that and then mount it from windows theadmin ? | 18:11 |
| spockockt | theadmin: i see. would it be possible to change the filesystem of a backup, say to fat32? | 18:11 |
| rhin0 | not nfs | 18:11 |
| rhin0 | windows filing system volume | 18:11 |
| rhin0 | ntfs | 18:11 |
| zmbmartin | theadmin: sorry that is what I meant. I ran that command yet it still starts at boot? | 18:11 |
| DustyMonk | rhin0: MS will do anything to make win *incompatible* with linux | 18:11 |
| rhin0 | shame | 18:12 |
| zooka | spockockt - you can install ext2fsd in windows to mount ext* partitions, but make sure to turn off write capability. you don't want to corrupt your backups. | 18:12 |
| rhin0 | spockockt: samba package will enable you to share linux filing system over network with windows | 18:12 |

| el_seano | and I really don't want to resort the GUI :0 | 18:14 |
| zooka | el_seano - "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ppa-name" | 18:14 |
| zooka | if you check the page on launchpad it should give the address with the ppa: protocol to use | 18:14 |
| el_seano | zooka: it's not a ppa | 18:15 |
| harleypig | I'm trying purge some packages but I'm getting "subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 100" and I can't get past this. Any pointers? Can I just do a "dpkg -L libvirt-bin | xargs rm" ? | 18:15 |
| el_seano | it's its own server | 18:15 |
| zooka | el_seano - ah sorry. I don't know if add-apt-repository can use something that's not a ppa? I'm probably wrong, I've just never tried to use it otherwise | 18:16 |
| qin | zmbmartin: sudo update-rc.d -f mysql remove (or disable) | 18:16 |

| padhu | proq: try with testdisk. | 19:03 |
| Pici | JayWalker_: It will try to install packages for a realease you aren't running, which will cause issues. You can go through and replace all the codenames with the new one. i.e : sed -i 's/natty/oneiric/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 19:04 |

| fritsch | g0rs: real world performance depends on the kinds of test | 20:34 |
| g0rs | computerx: There are several parts of a hard drive which can fail and their aggregated sum leads to the calculation of MTBF although Im not sure how its done. | 20:34 |

| Jordan_U | !iso | VampsDaBeast | 20:59 |
| ubottu | VampsDaBeast: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 20:59 |

| Bisu[Shield] | what is nobody | 20:59 |

| VampsDaBeast | computerx and Jordan_U thanks, so i can just set and ISO to a mount point such as /serverinstall and use it there? | 21:00 |
| computerx | VampsDaBeast: Yup | 21:00 |

| localg0d | hello all | 21:09 |
| boskee | Right, I have a problem with my system (Oneiric). Basically it goes nuts after few minutes of using it and I start getting random keypress events (KEYUP). I tried to fix it by reinstalling every possible driver, X and stuff but it still happens. Today, I was finally able to stop that bug by disabling iMON Panel, Knob and Mouse(15c2:0036) in the xinput. Is it a known bug? If not, how can I report it outside of apport? | 21:09 |
| computerx | Bisu[Shield]: I know they're pretty strict about what files you can send, and check common archive formats | 21:09 |

| Jordan_U | localg0d: You're welcome. | 21:14 |
| Chwoka | it's getting pretty ridiculous. | 21:14 |
| CaptWho | Chwoka, just plug in a network cable to your NIC. make sure the connection is set to DHCP, that's assuming your router is serving DHCP | 21:15 |
| p_masho | I trying to upgrader to 11.04.. but when I run the "update manager" i get error >> W:Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/Release Unable to find expected entry partner/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) | 21:15 |

| cypha | where does Ubuntu save Python Imaging? I wanna copy/paste it into my virtual environment | 21:15 |
| Chwoka | that's the problem, captwho. i've tried, like, 3 different cables running straight from the ethernet port to the router, and no luck. | 21:16 |
| localg0d | hey Jordan_U , reboot after doing that ? | 21:16 |
| CaptWho | will another computer connect to the router and work? | 21:16 |
| localg0d | bah brb | 21:16 |
| Chwoka | yeah, easily. they're all windows laptops on the wireless, however. | 21:17 |
| jpds_ | p_masho: sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True ? | 21:17 |
| robin0800 | p_masho, I think its alt+ f2 then update-manager -d | 21:17 |

| bazhang | Noldorin_, badly worded web page, 64bit is fine | 23:13 |
| bazhang | qmr, thats not helpful | 23:13 |
| Noldorin_ | qmr, Windows 64-bit can run all 32-bit programs fine...can't Ubuntu? | 23:14 |
| qmr | it's plenty helpful | 23:14 |
| qmr | Noldorin_: windows has all 32 bit libraries installed by default. note that you have 2 program files folders in windows | 23:14 |
| bazhang | qmr, no it's not. please desist immediately | 23:14 |
| Noldorin_ | bazhang, i would assume Ubuntu 64-bit can run 32-bit programs (including Flash) fine still? | 23:14 |
| Noldorin_ | qmr, yes indeed | 23:14 |
| qmr | bazhang: I'll do as I please, thanks. | 23:14 |

| Noldorin_ | hmm | 23:14 |
| qmr | Unless you have a special use case, you're really most likely better off using 32 bit | 23:14 |
| Lithos84 | Noldorin_: Today, Ubuntu 64-bit runs Flash and others fine. | 23:15 |
| Chwoka | bazhang: how would it be a dns problem? i'm connecting to the internet plenty fine with 2 other computers | 23:15 |
| qin | klj613: In shell yes, #vi and #vim | 23:15 |
| Noldorin_ | Lithos84, oh, that's good news. and it won't limit my app choice too much either? | 23:15 |
| Noldorin_ | Lithos84, i'm most concerned about Mono in fact. | 23:15 |
| klj613 | qin: didnt think it would have it own channel, thanks. | 23:15 |
| bazhang | Noldorin_, zero reason to not use 64bit | 23:15 |
| Noldorin_ | ok cheers | 23:15 |
| Noldorin_ | might as well try then | 23:15 |
| qmr | that's not true. I think bazhang is overly excited about extra bits | 23:15 |
| Lithos84 | Noldorin_: bazhang is right. Go ahead. Try it out. | 23:16 |

| javier_ | and one last thing. I will have partitions: 1 (primary) for windows; 2 (primary) for / with /home and /swap in two logical partitions. That's fine. But I want to have windows data in a different partition. Shall I make logical partition from window's primary one? Is that possible? Or I can only make logical under one primary partition? | 23:44 |
