| bekks | gauda: xulrunner ist part of the firefox packages in recent versions of firefox. | 00:02 |
| JosephHarretha | gravytrane, Just some background info, Ubuntu uses plymouth for those bootlogo's | 00:02 |
| JosephHarretha | gravytrane, So if you ever have that issue again, try searching "change plymouth themes" | 00:03 |

| escott | dluzius, is the power statistics application recognizing the battery | 00:09 |
| gauda | Jordan_U: i tried to run: "MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/xulrunner redcar" but this also does not work: NativeException: org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles [MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME='/usr/lib/xulrunner'] | 00:09 |
| dluzius | what is that | 00:09 |
| JosephH | -.^ | 00:09 |
| escott | dluzius, gnome-power-statistics | 00:09 |
| j3NNy1 | anyone could recommend me which book/s are good for command line in ubuntu? | 00:10 |
| JosephH | dluzius, type gnome-power-statistics into terminal and press enter | 00:10 |
| JosephH | j3NNy1, I can't give you books, but the ubuntu command line is known as "Bash", and I can give you plenty of Website, but a better place to ask would be the #bash channel | 00:10 |
| JosephH | !bash | j3NNy1 | 00:11 |
| ubottu | j3NNy1: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 00:11 |
| j3NNy1 | JosephH:thanks | 00:11 |
| JosephH | j3NNy1, No problem, and if your stuck DM me, I'm very good with a terminal if I do say so myself :) | 00:11 |

| dlbike76 | Hi, does LightDM use the xsessions hierarchy? | 00:16 |
| dluzius | how do I get around this | 00:16 |
| JosephH | Nightwalkerkg1, Okay, Well, I want you to put all that on the forums with a description of the problem, an any other information you can provide. Because honestly, I don't have a clue. | 00:16 |
| Nightwalkerkg1 | Oh,well. :( | 00:17 |
| JosephH | Unless anybody else has an idea for the problem ... ? | 00:17 |
| Nightwalkerkg1 | Tnx for the try and sorry for the time. | 00:17 |
| asdf- | in unity, how can i get the sound indicator back if it is missing? | 00:17 |
| JosephH | dlbike76, to my knowledge it does. But I am not well versed in lightDM | 00:17 |
| Nightwalkerkg1 | Oh,JosephH one more thing.I am from Serbia so do i post this problem on Serbian Ubuntu forum or on Ubuntu forum? | 00:18 |
| JosephH | Nightwalkerkg1, I would just put it on the general one, you'll get more people. I belive the localized forms are for those who don't speak english well, which it is apparent that you do :) | 00:18 |
| JosephH | Nightwalkerkg1, Do speak it well* | 00:19 |
| Nightwalkerkg1 | Ok,thanks for your time. | 00:19 |
| Nightwalkerkg1 | English? | 00:19 |

| JosephH | Nightwalkerkg1, Yes :) | 00:19 |
| Nightwalkerkg1 | Sure,i can understand,speak,write and read very well. | 00:19 |
| JosephH | Nightwalkerkg1, So use the general forums :P | 00:20 |

| MagBo | hi guys. I need to get myself a live USB really quickly, but my problem is that the only computer that's currently avaliable runs windows. so I googled some strange GUI thing called LiLi which after the installation of Ubuntu 11 does something wrong with bootloader and I have no idea how to install it manually on the needed partition having only USB stick on 2GB and windows box | 00:20 |
| Nightwalkerkg1 | Ok,buy i am going to bed.I am going to ask for help tomorow on the forum.Thanks one more time. | 00:21 |
| * JosephH feels awesome for helping so many people | 00:21 | |
| Nightwalkerkg1 | MagBo use LiLi,it hase it's own bootloader | 00:21 |
| JosephH | MagBo, I have a program that will solve this, www.pendrivelinux.com :) | 00:21 |
| MagBo | during the boot it writes "GRUB" and doesn't respond to the key presses ) | 00:21 |
| escott | MagBo, the ubuntu website has instructions on how to create a usb in windows | 00:21 |
| gotz7 | hey guys - would anyone mind answering 6 very short questions for a research project I'm doing? I promise it's VERY quick | 00:21 |
| Nightwalkerkg1 | I have used it. | 00:21 |
| JosephH | MagBo, Its the offical supported usb creator for windows. | 00:21 |
| JosephH | gotz7, Sure, but DM me so that we don't kill the chan. | 00:21 |
| gotz7 | yerp! | 00:22 |
| lexflex | hello ubuntu gks | 00:22 |
| lexflex | is there anybody here with a macbook pro? | 00:22 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Me :P I'm not on it now, But I have one. | 00:22 |
| osg | OK, I made small progress about my scim problem. Now I am able to see an icon that should allow me to switch inputs. It seems to be "stuck" on Input Method Off. | 00:22 |
| lexflex | Do you have ubuntu installed on it? | 00:23 |
| osg | I used the ibus-daemon -dr command to get this far. | 00:23 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Yup. | 00:23 |
| JosephH | lexflex, I have Linux on everything lmao!. I got a debian bassed distro on my wii XD. | 00:24 |
| osg | brb | 00:24 |
| lexflex | JosephH: and did you replace os x? or do you have dual boot or something? | 00:24 |
| MagBo | JosephH: btw, will 2GB be nuff to get Gnome3+PGP+Tor Browser Bundle using ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386 image? | 00:24 |
| warfaren | CrOnOs2000: nothing wrong with my ram. memtest passed with no errors. any other suggestions? | 00:24 |
| zah_ | Whats the best permission setting for PHP for Public Access and Internal/Private Access files | 00:24 |
| JosephH | lexflex, uh... whats above quad... cinq? anyway, 5 OS's booting Lmao. | 00:24 |
| JosephH | MagBo, More then enough I think. | 00:25 |
| lexflex | JospehH: which ones? how did you do this? | 00:25 |
| osg | W哦我！ | 00:25 |
| lexflex | JosephH: or better: what boot manager handls all this? | 00:25 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Grub 2 | 00:26 |
| MagBo | yeah, Grub 2 is uber cool | 00:26 |
| JosephH | lexflex, I have ArchLinux, OSX, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Ubuntu 11.10 on it now. | 00:26 |
| MagBo | haha, Archlinux <3 | 00:26 |
| JosephH | I love Arch :) | 00:26 |
| lexflex | JosephH: wait.. windows 8? | 00:26 |
| MagBo | JosephH: wait a second, I was wondering where do I know you from | 00:27 |
| JosephH | lexflex, The Developer Preview. Its only meant for testing code. | 00:27 |
| MagBo | JosephH: could it be that you used to answer some questions at #archlinux ? | 00:27 |
| wbBlueDave | Hello everyone, i have a problem with my Sony VAIO VPCEH running Ubuntu 11.04 ... the touchpad scrolling doesn't work... i would really apreciate if you'd be so kind to help me | 00:27 |
| lexflex | JosephH: can i get that, too? | 00:27 |
| JosephH | MagBo, I normally go by the name NictraSavios :) | 00:27 |
| r0dy4 | lexflex: yes | 00:28 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Sure, Its free. Google it. | 00:28 |
| lexflex | JosephH: awesome, didnt know | 00:28 |
| lexflex | JosephH: and os x lion also? or is it still snow leopard? | 00:28 |
| osg | Ok, I am nearly 100% there！I just have to figure out which keystokes are controlling things now！ | 00:29 |
| JosephH | MagBo, Lion. I got the MBP only recently. | 00:29 |
| dlbike76 | JoshephH: Are there FLOSS drivers for the MacPro, or do you have to use proprietary ones? | 00:29 |
| osg | So， I guess that running ibus-daemon -dr did the trick to get scim to work。 | 00:29 |
| lexflex | is there any tutorial on how to achieve this? i was trying all sunday on getting a triple boot (lion, win7 and ubuntu 11.10) but i resigned after 3 failed trys | 00:30 |
| JosephH | dlbike76, For ubuntu, I didnnt have any issues. I has more driver issues with windows than Ubuntu. But for arch, I just followed their wiki. | 00:30 |
| JosephH | dlbike76, So, I believe I'm using open source ones. But honestly, I don't care if I'm not haha. They seem to work perfecty. | 00:30 |
| JosephH | perfectly* | 00:30 |
| lexflex | JosephH: i was trying with rEFIt 0.14 though, not grub | 00:31 |
| MagBo | lexflex: refit isn't needed anymore afaik | 00:32 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Well, what I did was I installed Windows 7, then windows 8, then ArchLinux, then Ubuntu. Because I wanted ubuntu to take care of my grub 2. | 00:32 |
| lexflex | JosephH: and os x lion was there already? | 00:32 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Remember the old rule, Go from the least flexible to the most flexible operating systems. | 00:32 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Yup. OEM straight from apple. | 00:33 |
| dlbike76 | JosephH: Sounds cool. I may have to check out a Macbook as my next laptop. | 00:33 |
| MagBo | JosephH: Arch is more flexible than ubuntu by the means of what you can do. Ubuntu is more flexible in the means of where you can do it. | 00:33 |
| JosephH | dlbike76, I actually still prefer to use my old gateway.... | 00:33 |
| lexflex | JosephH: and how did you partition? in os x? | 00:34 |
| JosephH | MagBo, I use Ubuntu as the bootloaders OS because Arch has issues with other operating systems | 00:34 |
| MagBo | JosephH: how do you share the files? I mean, HFS+ is pain in the arse :( | 00:34 |
| JosephH | Partitioning you say | 00:34 |
| * JosephH smiles big | 00:34 | |
| lexflex | JosephH: yes yes, partition… no? | 00:34 |
| JosephH | Thats my favorite feild hehe :P | 00:34 |
| ozzloy | http://pastebin.com/vUh4PjBn how do i fix this error? this is what dmesg gives me when i plug in my sd card | 00:34 |
| MagBo | JosephH: well, I see. the thing is that you can make the same installation of grub2 under arch. not as automatically though :) | 00:35 |
| lexflex | JosephH: is there any guide for this? | 00:35 |
| uplinked | hi, i have a PPA i loved to use back in Lucid, but it's not packaged for Oneric yet. Can I force-add this PPA to Oneric from bash somehow? | 00:35 |
| bem_kente | tem alguem ai que fala Portugues | 00:36 |
| lexflex | JosephH: this whole partitioning and booting really kicked my ass today. i couldnt get it to work | 00:36 |
| JosephH | Okay, Well I have it so that OSX takes up 200GB, Then I have a 15GB FAT32 encrypted with truecrypt, a 150GB ntfs with my personal data and the rest is in an extended. I have , in the extended 80GB for win8 and the rest divided equally between Arch and Ubuntu | 00:36 |
| tolmun | I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For. U2 are plaing in may nevron helmet. Fan control, pwm-capable sensor missing and libsensors exist on in tutorials =) | 00:36 |
| JosephH | All my personall files are kept in one partition, the others are ONLY for os files. ALL of my desktop folders are symlinks to a "Desktop" folder in this partition. | 00:36 |
| MagBo | JosephH: so the sared partition is the truecrypt one, right? | 00:37 |
| MagBo | and that NTFS | 00:37 |
| JosephH | MagBo, Nope, its the 150GB ntfs , the 15GB fat32 is for things I wanna hide and can be used by all 3 via truecrypt | 00:37 |
| MagBo | Yeah-yeah, perfectly aware of truecrypt. so Mac OS x _does_ have an adequate ntfs-3g analogue by now? | 00:38 |
| JosephH | Oh, forgot, 100GB for Win7 inside the extended aswell haha | 00:38 |
| JosephH | MagBo, Yup. Works good enough for me. | 00:38 |
| MagBo | cause see, HFS+ used to make the linux kernel panic :) | 00:38 |
| MagBo | nice | 00:38 |
| JosephH | MagBo, Oh, and make sure to install the hfs progs :P | 00:39 |
| * MagBo brb - boot to ubuntu >.< | 00:39 | |
| lexflex | JosephH: how do i prevent the systems to fuck up each other? i had this problem today. installed ubuntu. worked. then tried to install win 7 and suddenly neither ubuntu nor windows works | 00:39 |
| MagBo | JosephH: not that I'm gonna use Apple any time soon | 00:39 |
| MagBo | lexflex: what do you mean by "works"? | 00:39 |
| lexflex | i couldnt boot anymore | 00:40 |
| pangolin | lexflex: Please keep the language clean in here | 00:40 |
| lexflex | sorry | 00:40 |
| JosephH | Haha, thats because You have to install windows 7 using the bootcamp thing, and then ubuntu, so that grub2 will overwrite bootcamp. OSX will complain, Windows will complain, google and you can fix it. | 00:40 |
| MagBo | and have you read what JosephH wrote close enough? If you aren't ready to mess with boot loaders go from Windows to Linuxes, not vice-versa | 00:40 |
| lexflex | JosephH: thats what i did after resigning! :) | 00:40 |
| lexflex | JosephH: now its actually lion + win 7 with bootcamp | 00:41 |
| JosephH | Honestly, lexflex Then stick ubuntu in there. Use bootcamp to make a fat32 partition, and do the whole thing up untill where you install windows, then reboot and install ubuntu. | 00:42 |
| meoblast | i have a bit of a problem | 00:42 |
| meoblast | the US International with AltGR deadkeys seems to be broken | 00:43 |
| JosephH | Lexflex Oh, and if that doesn't work for you, try installing the ubuntu bootloader to its root partition instead of /dev/sda | 00:43 |
| meoblast | i cant type quotations anymore | 00:43 |
| meoblast | apostrophe + s looks like ś | 00:43 |
| lexflex | JosephH: i don't get it.. how to use bootcamp to create a partition now? i mean, i already did install win 7 with bootcamp. this is working currently | 00:43 |
| meoblast | this is not the US International keyboard ive come to love | 00:43 |
| z4r | hi all | 00:44 |
| lexflex | JosephH: did you mean disk utility instead? | 00:45 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Well, what I personally did was use the disk utility to make 3 partitions, Installed windows 7, Rebooted into ubuntu, opened up gparted and finished the layout. And then rebooted into OSX, installed windows 8 into one, then to arch for another, and finally ubuntu. | 00:45 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Yea sorry >.< I'm still getting used to OSX. | 00:45 |
| asdf- | i switched to ALSA instead of Pulse Audio... gstreamer-properties works but Sound Settings doesnt show any audio hardware... | 00:46 |
| lexflex | JosephH: so you actually didnt use boot camp? | 00:46 |
| JosephH | lexflex, I did for windows 7/windows 8. | 00:46 |
| JosephH | lexflex, When I say "installed windows 7" "installed windows 8" that was using bootcamp. | 00:46 |
| lexflex | JosephH: i wouldnt imagine how you do this? bootcamp seems so limited to me. like, one windows and thats it. | 00:47 |
| KWhat4 | where on earth are the screen saver settings in 11.10 ? | 00:47 |
| JosephH | lexflex, Its not that limited. I followed tutorials so I really don't understand much of it XD. But its out there. Just google around. I'm sorry I can't be of more help but I don't understand OSX or bootcamp myself. | 00:48 |
| MagBo | JosephH: grr, all I get using pendrivelinux installation is the same "GRUB" upon boot | 00:48 |
| MagBo | :( | 00:48 |
| * MagBo goes to ubuntu.com to get instructions | 00:48 | |
| JosephH | MagBo, D: Try using a Cd then | 00:48 |
| lexflex | JosephH: do you have a link maybe for the tutorials? the thing is, i followed a tutorial myself. i mentioned the result.. | 00:49 |
| MagBo | JosephH: see, I know how to boot from grub's bash | 00:49 |
| meoblast001 | ok | 00:49 |
| ^Mike\b | After I empty my trashcan, the icon doesn't change. How can I get it to detect that it really is empty? | 00:49 |
| meoblast001 | it seems AltGr for several keys is backwards | 00:49 |
| MagBo | the matter is that it doesn't respond to keypresses | 00:49 |
| meoblast001 | i have to do AltGr to get ' and " | 00:49 |
| meoblast001 | that is not how it is supposed to work | 00:49 |
| JosephH | lexflex, There on the OSX safari history but I don't know them off by hand and I can't use my MBP right now. Thats why I'm on my gateway. Its battaries drained and we got heavy winds... I'm not risking a surge haha. I don't care about this laptop, 2 surges and its still fine XD. | 00:50 |
| MagBo | JosephH: ubuntu.com says exact same thing - grab ubuntu 11 iso, fire pendrivelinux | 00:51 |
| MagBo | :(( | 00:51 |
| JosephH | MagBo, Hmm... I would try searching around. Or use the CS. | 00:51 |
| JosephH | CD* | 00:51 |
| lexflex | JosephH: okay no worries. i will figure this out somehow | 00:51 |
| MagBo | JosephH: the setup is - 2GB usb stick and win7 pc | 00:52 |
| MagBo | no cds or anything | 00:52 |

| JosephH | kendrickLeiter, no. | 00:55 |
| kendrickLeiter | Thank you | 00:55 |
| JosephH | MagBo, Yea, insert the usb while booted into windows | 00:56 |
| ksbalaji | How do I make my external 1-TB HDD ubuntu bootable? | 00:56 |
| strix_ | MagBo: you could use 11.10 on usb stick through pendrivelinux.com installer + 700 Mb or what's left for persistent storage, then boot ubuntu and apt-get the rest | 00:56 |
| JosephH | ksbalaji, Go into bios and set usb harddrives above internal ones. | 00:57 |
| meoblast001 | no one else is using US International? | 00:57 |

| JosephH | LMAO! I typed in /join #fishy for a joke, and the topic of the channel is "Scientists insist on using complex terminology to make it harder for True Christians to refute their claims.

| polishdude20 | i was wondering if I could get some insight into ubuntu? | 01:14 |
| JosephH | polishdude20, Sure :D | 01:14 |
| polishdude20 | k, well what is your personal opinion about the advantages of ubuntu over another OS? Basiaclly can you try and "sell" it to me? | 01:15 |

| Gentoo64 | polishdude20: you can use it in a livecd without installing it. very slow compared to how it is really like though | 01:16 |
| polishdude20 | I tried it but it felt bare to me | 01:16 |
| jrib | polishdude20: "bare"? | 01:16 |
| JosephH | polishdude20, Windows is windows, nuff said. Ubuntu beats it by being bassed on a *nix platform. | 01:16 |
| Gentoo64 | polishdude20: well what do you want to use your comp for? | 01:16 |
| Reikoku | polishdude20: What difference are you looking for between Ubuntu and other Linuxs? | 01:16 |
| Reikoku | It's the easiest to set up to a point where it is usable practically out of the box | 01:16 |
| polishdude20 | well I guess right now windows is fine for me, im running xp cause i can't stand the shit I get from 7 and vista | 01:17 |
| MagBo | JosephH: no luck again. look what I have though: http://nn.lv/6hax | 01:17 |
| JosephH | polishdude20, Compared to other linux, simple, were the one thats going to market. Were the most popular, we got the cash and support behind us. Were taking it to the top :) We offer unrivale user-friendly-ness and ease of package management | 01:17 |
| polishdude20 | well ive heard the other linuxes are a lot of coding based | 01:17 |
| MagBo | Reikoku: easiest? | 01:17 |
| MagBo | Reikoku: well, I hoped so as well | 01:17 |
| Reikoku | MagBo: Takes the least effort/knowledge to install and operate | 01:17 |
| JosephH | polishdude20, None are code bassed really. Bash Is the only language you should know, but its used as much on ubuntu as it is on OSX. | 01:17 |

| MagBo | Reikoku: though while it takes me ten minutes to make a live usb of archlinux under linux it took me about an hour (and counting) to make an ubuntu usb | 01:18 |
| Gentoo64 | polishdude20: well you might need to dual boot for games. wine isnt that great | 01:19 |
| MagBo | okay guys, what I've done is I made a tiny slax usb stick that boots | 01:19 |

| Gentoo64 | i wouldnt rely on it anyway | 01:19 |
| zromayn | Gentoo64: That one doesn't show progress in file size. That's what I'm looking for. My bad for not being more specific. | 01:19 |

| Reikoku | MagBo: What are you planning to use the USB for? | 01:24 |
| Gentoo64 | dardevelin: if its personal info, do what i do and make a gmail account or something that you only use for "mess" | 01:24 |
| yman | I just cam in here to say that ubuntu 11.10 is the worst os i have ever seen...... 11.4 was rough but at least it was workable | 01:24 |
| Reikoku | You realise persistance on USB is likely to kill the low grade flash memory very very quickly? | 01:24 |
| nunuyabiz | MagBo; if you use the Ubuntu start up disk creator to make a bootable usb, then you can use dd to create another usb. That may be a workaround that won't help you, but it is one way you can do it | 01:24 |

| yman | there is a amd32 | 01:38 |
| Jordan_U | yman: What problem are you having specifically? Are you actually hoping to solve said problem or are you still just complaining? | 01:39 |
| LuckySMack | when using 'apt-cache search' is there a way to show them whether they are installed or not? similar to 'aptitude search' ? | 01:39 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, and no text file opend? | 01:39 |

| tolmun | ouyes: ssh is one way but drob ox is | 01:40 |
| yman | i ran the 32 on here and i am trying to reinstall it with the same disk i used before | 01:40 |
| nunuyabiz | yman I don't think there is 32 bit amd. I think (but I'm not sure) You said you system is amd64? | 01:40 |
| yman | but us is not working | 01:40 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_ it opened sources.list which is a text file and next to that is the gedit file which is empty. | 01:40 |

| Jordan_U | yman: What problem are you having specifically? We can't help you without details, and prefferably exact error messages. | 01:41 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, ok..open your home directory,,, click "File System" on the left column and maneuver to /etc/apt | 01:41 |

| nunuyabiz | yman you might want to try zeroing out your hard disk and reformat. Reformat using a live disk and then install | 01:41 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: the setup was the following: win7 machine+2GB usb stick. I fired that pendrivelinux thing and wrote ubuntu distro on the flash drive. what I got is irresponsive "GRUB" line printed on the screen with the only option to reboot the machine (as there wasn't a way to manually boot the thing from grub - no reaction to key presses) | 01:41 |
| yman | i dont have the error message as it was during the boot | 01:41 |
| yman | ok well ty for your time | 01:42 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_ done | 01:42 |

| Jordan_U | MagBo: Universal USB installer doesn't use grub, it uses syslinux. Are you sure that you're booting from the USB drive? | 01:43 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz, and a terminal | 01:43 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: yes, I am sure | 01:44 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, ok close everything excpet the irc client you are using for here | 01:44 |

| MagBo | Jordan_U: oh | 01:44 |
| MagBo | now I see it! | 01:44 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, then reopen a terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:44 |
| MagBo | GRUB is left in MBR from previous archlinux installation on the stick | 01:44 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: could it be that? | 01:44 |
| MagBo | I mean, it sounds pretty impossible | 01:45 |
| MagBo | but all that windows software can be that buggy :D | 01:45 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: I would be very surpriesed if Universal USB installer didn't overwrite the MBR of the USB drive it installed to. | 01:45 |
| tolmun | ouyes: you welcome | 01:45 |
| mlu1109 | Hey guys, I'm running Xubuntu.. what I'm trying to do is install Google Chrome with GDebi but it keep telling me that the package is damaged or that I don't have the authorization to open it | 01:45 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: any ideas then? ) | 01:45 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_ upgrade seemingly worked, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade resulted in the error "unmet dependencies" with the problem being the bcmwl-kernel-source wireless package I tried to download manually from the install CD | 01:46 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: Can you plug the USB into another machine running some form of GNU/Linux, run boot info script, and pastebin the RESULTS.txt it creates? | 01:46 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | MagBo | 01:46 |
| ubottu | MagBo: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 01:46 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, ok now try sudo apt-get install dkms | 01:46 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: haha, I'd be sooo happy if I could :D | 01:46 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_, Unmet dependencies again, suggests apt-get f install | 01:47 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: the problem is that I really desparately need a linux in the place I currently am :D | 01:47 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, ok sudo apt-get -f install | 01:47 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: Can't boot from CD? | 01:47 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_, seemingly worked, it's unpacking the dkms | 01:48 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: oh yeah! you're right, I have that ubuntu 5.10 live cd | 01:48 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, ok , when that is done retry installing the package you tried before with the dkms error | 01:48 |
| Thelmaria | Jordan_U: (from hours ago): thanks, I didn't realize sh called dash, not bash. | 01:48 |
| MagBo | though atm I'm making archlinux live usb already :D | 01:48 |
| tolmun | when adobe will make cs for us =) | 01:48 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_, the package manager error just disappeared and the DKMS install competed (yay) | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: You can't run to the store and buy a blank CD to burn a supported version of Ubuntu to? | 01:49 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: 4AM here man :D | 01:49 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, there you go :) | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | Thelmaria: You're welcome. | 01:49 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_ can I try by just double clicking the install pack I saved to my home file, or should I try to do something via the software centre? | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: Tomorrow then :) | 01:49 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, either way.. | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: Or, later this morning :) | 01:49 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_, it's a b-43 wireless driver/firmware/something to make my wireless card work. K I'll try double click | 01:49 |
| moes | Why is Ubuntu 10.04 still have Firefox 3.6...Other distros are using Firefox 7.0 ??? | 01:50 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: what I did is that I've loaded linux in RAM on the machine and wiped the flashdrive, wgot the archlinux iso and dding it to the stick | 01:50 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, I am assuming that a restart of the system is going to be required since it is firmware | 01:50 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: You could do the same with an Ubuntu 11.10 iso. | 01:50 |
| MagBo | moes: oh noes, apt-get install firefox will update it :D | 01:50 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_, in the software centre it says the broadcom 802.11 linux STA wireless driver source is installed, yet in my wireless tab it shows that device as having missing firmware, restart then? | 01:50 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, yes that would or should take care of the missing error | 01:51 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: okay, other ppl didn't mentioned that, thanks | 01:51 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, I probably wont be here when you return but good luck on this :) | 01:51 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_, I'll try that. I'll log back on in a minute but thank you very much if you leave by then | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: You're welcome. | 01:51 |
| coz_ | Cheap_Scotsman, no problem | 01:51 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | coz_, alright, thank you! | 01:51 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: from your experience - will ubuntu liveusb run virtually on any vgas? | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: Virtually any, yes. I can't guarantee that you will have no problem with your graphics card. | 01:52 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: okay | 01:53 |
| strix_ | MagBo: so you have Ubuntu usb flash drive, you just can't boot from it? | 01:53 |
| airtonix | banshee :s y u no work | 01:54 |
| MagBo | strix_: yes. :( | 01:54 |
| reokie | Does your BIOS have the option to boot from USB in the first place? | 01:54 |
| MagBo | strix_: anyway, atm I already have archlinux usb flash drive that's bootable :D | 01:54 |
| reokie | Is arch going to be your first distro? | 01:55 |
| strix_ | MagBo: in that case, did you properly setup BIOS to boot from usb? | 01:56 |
| MagBo | reokie: grep the log (to be short). no, it wasn't, my first linux distro was mandrake or mandriva (whatever was earlier) but after a couple of years I started using archlinux (more prolonged answer) | 01:57 |
| MagBo | strix_: yes I have. see, I have already booted from archlinux :D | 01:57 |
| strix_ | MagBo: ah, ok | 01:58 |
| LuckySMack | when trying to install php5 package with apt-get I am getting this error: http://pastebin.com/dbH1iZN4 | 01:58 |
| reokie | Ah, nice, I asked because I have alot of first time linux users wanting to start with Arch for some reason lol | 01:58 |
| LuckySMack | it tells me the package is already the newest version, but it is not installed. | 01:58 |
| LuckySMack | but tried to install anyways and fails. | 01:58 |
| MagBo | reokie: I totally understand them. It's simple in its very own arch way :) | 01:59 |
| MagBo | reokie: my ex-gf's first linux was arch too :P anyway, that's off the topic here I believe | 01:59 |
| JewKiller | how do I download 11.10 | 02:01 |
| MagBo | JewKiller: your nick is offending personally me | 02:01 |
| LuckySMack | so it seems I am unable to install any of these packages. and I can't figure out why. | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | JewKiller: Change your nick to something non-offensive. Now. | 02:01 |
| MagBo | JewKiller: nonetheless, man wget | 02:01 |
| JewKiller | MagBo: QQ more | 02:02 |
| lunitik | LuckySMack: apt-get install --reinstall package? | 02:02 |
| LuckySMack | lunitik, still fails with this result: http://pastebin.com/yxt0wVVD | 02:03 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: don't tell me he wasn't using public proxy/Tor :D | 02:04 |
| LuckySMack | it's expecting that file to be there for some reason, but it's not because the packages are not installed on my system. | 02:04 |
| lunitik | LuckySMack: I don't think we should correct the package via this channel, you should prolly file a bug report on the packages it lists (php5-cli and libapache2-mod-php5) and wait for them to be fixed | 02:06 |
| lunitik | LuckySMack: you can touch the files to try your theory, but it looks to me like they just aren't in the package to start | 02:06 |
| LuckySMack | ok thats fine, but im currently needing the packages so need to find some workaround | 02:07 |
| LuckySMack | ill try that | 02:07 |
| lunitik | LuckySMack: you can go to #ubuntu-devel and ask how to repackage it yourself... it should be a simple edit of the postinst script | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | lunitik: #ubuntu-devel is not for user support. | 02:08 |
| lunitik | Jordan_U: Is this channel for creating packages? | 02:08 |
| lunitik | or rather, for packaging help... | 02:09 |
| Jordan_U | lunitik: No. It's for Ubuntu Developers to discuss the development of Ubuntu. | 02:09 |
| lunitik | Jordan_U: No, I mean this channel, is it appropriate here to assist a user in unpacking, editing and repacking a .deb? It seems out of the scope to me | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | lunitik: It's always best to read the topic of a channel before recommending it to someone else. | 02:10 |
| lunitik | I guess #ubuntu-motu would be a good palce | 02:10 |
| lunitik | place* | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | lunitik: As part of user support, which this is, yes. Though it's probably easier to just edit the postinst script without recreating the package. | 02:10 |
| LuckySMack | ok creating that file makes it not give that error anymore, but it still doesnt completely install: http://pastebin.com/h3wWwpRc | 02:11 |
| lilrubyprog | Hey | 02:11 |
| somsip | LuckySMack: you tried reinstalling the sub-packages first? php5-cgi...etc... | 02:12 |
| lunitik | LuckySMack: that is the same paste | 02:12 |
| daweefolk | i just installed sudo, added myself to the sudoers file but i get three 'try again's when i try sudoing anything (before even a passwork prompt) | 02:12 |
| Jordan_U | daweefolk: Why did you need to install sudo? It's installed by default in Ubuntu. | 02:12 |
| lunitik | Jordan_U: The way I read the topic of #ubuntu-devel it seems it is for packaging assistance... since all Ubuntu devs really do is manage packages. | 02:13 |
| daweefolk | Jordan: I have a different distro, i just find ubuntu support has been best for me :) | 02:13 |
| histo | daweefolk: did you logout and logback in after adding yourself | 02:13 |
| histo | daweefolk: what distro? | 02:13 |
| daweefolk | *facepalm* | 02:13 |
| daweefolk | pclinuxos | 02:14 |
| Jordan_U | daweefolk: This channel only supports Ubuntu. Please don't ask for support for other distributions here. | 02:14 |
| daweefolk | sorry | 02:14 |

| LuckySMack | somsip, yes it complains about php5-cgi/php5-fpm but I don't want to install those because im using the mod-php5 apache module. so i don't know why it's trying to install those deps. It can't seem to install the apache module either. I get similar errors | 02:17 |
| geek7 | does anyone know if ubuntu minimal/installer (the curses based, tiny one) includes memtest? | 02:18 |
| LuckySMack | lunitik, that was a new paste. but the error was probably the same. | 02:18 |
| somsip | LuckySMack: ISTM that if you want to install a package, you allow the package manager to ddecide what deps it needs. I have php5-cgi and the apache2 module installed, but never use the cgi module. no biggie | 02:19 |
| dardevelin | just so you guys know ubuntu rocks | 02:19 |
| dardevelin | seriously | 02:20 |
| LuckySMack | somsip, yea but thats the problem, it can't seem to even install any of the dependencies. | 02:20 |
| * Dungeon admires the channel size which increases the active support here..... i do enjoy that | 02:20 | |
| lunitik | LuckySMack: then you will have to edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/thenameofthefiles.postinst and add 'touch thenameofthefile' early on in the script... then you can try installing again probably | 02:20 |
| corey__ | does anyone in here know anything about fedora? | 02:21 |
| lunitik | corey__: the guys in #fedora might | 02:21 |
| somsip | LuckySMack: so if you apt-get install --reinstall php5-cgi (for example) what do you get? | 02:21 |
| corey__ | #fedora | 02:21 |
| corey__ | ? | 02:21 |
| lunitik | corey__: /j #fedora | 02:21 |
| LuckySMack | lunitik, ill check that out. | 02:21 |
| methylenedioxy | You could ignore the dependency with Synaptic I know but I think that's not a good practice. | 02:21 |
| dardevelin | corey__, i know a bit | 02:21 |
| methylenedioxy | easily with* | 02:21 |
| lamdk | mmm I think i have service ntp on, but the time is still all messed up. Anyone know what to check? | 02:22 |
| corey__ | im downloading a fedora spin version 15 (games) when version 16 comes out on the 8th will the spin be updated on the site so i can download it? | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | corey__: Type "/join #fedora" (without the quotes) to join Fedora's support channel. | 02:22 |
| Mneumonic | Great, just moved my mother-in-law over to Xubuntu 11.10 | 02:22 |

| lilrubyprog | I will help mazda01 | 02:23 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, I've followed every tutorial out there. and it does NOT work | 02:23 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, ok, what shall I do? | 02:23 |
| lilrubyprog | Ok, did you try to go to the software center and do it from there? | 02:23 |
| mazda01 | no | 02:24 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, no | 02:24 |
| esmirlin | hi is there any english native speaker a have a question very important! | 02:24 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, it's already installed though. | 02:24 |
| lilrubyprog | Ok, go to the dash home and search ubuntu one | 02:24 |
| lunitik | esmirlin: this is the english channel for ubuntu support, yes | 02:24 |
| mazda01 | esmirlin, don't ask to ask a question. LOL, just ask it | 02:24 |
| Jordan_U | esmirlin: Is it an Ubuntu support question? | 02:24 |
| CarlFK | how do I remove a package and it's configs, even ones I have edited? or how do I replace my edits with the clean confs? | 02:24 |
| infobit | esmirlin, ya ask | 02:24 |
| somsip | CarlFK: apt-get purge {packagename} then resinstall it again | 02:25 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, Ubuntu Software Center you're saying, and search for ubuntu one | 02:25 |
| esmirlin | it isn't a question about ubuntu but about language, but i don't know where to ask right now :( | 02:25 |
| Jordan_U | esmirlin: /join #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support related questions. | 02:25 |
| lunitik | CarlFK: apt-get remove --purge or dpkg -P ... you will have to just rm /files/you/edited because there is something which keeps those | 02:25 |
| CarlFK | somsip: tried that, /etc/nginx/sites-available/default didn't go away | 02:25 |
| CarlFK | oh.. --puirge.. .didn't try that | 02:25 |
| lilrubyprog | No, the dash. If you hold your pointer to the top left just under the bar then you can see the left panel, at the top is the logo click that (dash) | 02:25 |
| LuckySMack | somsip, having to touch a couple other files and installing php5-cgi may have made it work... checking things out | 02:26 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, i'm sorry, i have no idea what you're talking about. i have no left panel. | 02:27 |
| badbandit | is there a way to make all window top panels translucent just as you can make the main ubuntu top panel translucent with unity/compiz manager? | 02:27 |
| lilrubyprog | Nothing like this at the side? http://i.imgur.com/EUgGR.png | 02:28 |
| somsip | LuckySMack: k - I've had this recently with...something, I forget what. Ended up having to --reinstall a couple and install -f a couple. Got there in the end | 02:28 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, i said I am running 10.04, i don't have unity installed. | 02:28 |
| lilrubyprog | Oh I thought you said you had 11.10 I am sorry, ok then go to the top left ->internet-. ubuntu one | 02:29 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, have you ever gotten UbuntuOne to work in 10.04? There is NO UbuntuOne choice within Internet inside Applications. | 02:30 |
| CarlFK | why is this prompting? sudo apt-get remove --force-yes --purge nginx; "Do you want to continue [Y/n]? " | 02:30 |
| lilrubyprog | Yes I have, then I went to 11.10 | 02:30 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, before maverick, you would click on UbuntuOne within System>Preferences and it should trigger a webpage to open which has a button that says "Add this Computer" That is NOT occuring | 02:31 |

| ubottu | alazare619: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:31 |
| geek7 | CarlFK: cause purge is somewhat final, i suppose | 02:31 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, well, there is no UbuntuOne within Applications>Internet | 02:31 |
| alazare619 | hmm | 02:31 |
| spacebug- | since 12.04 will use gnome 3.2, will there still be the same (lack of) settings to make in the system? | 02:31 |
| Jordan_U | spacebug-: #ubuntu+1 for support and discussion of 12.04. | 02:32 |
| lilrubyprog | Ok, well what about Applications>system | 02:32 |
| spacebug- | Jordan_U: ok | 02:32 |
| Jordan_U | !best | alazare619 | 02:32 |
| ubottu | alazare619: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:32 |
| alazare619 | thanks Jordan_U | 02:32 |
| Jordan_U | alazare619: You're welcome. | 02:32 |
| mewerner_arand | CarlFK: Since that's an inavlid flag for apt-get, the manual says "-y, --yes, --assume-yes" | 02:33 |
| CarlFK | mewerner_arand: doh.. thanks. | 02:33 |
| KoolaidJunkie | Hey, is there anyone here? | 02:33 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, only System within Applications is System Tools and there is NO UbuntuOne choice there either. | 02:33 |
| alazare619 | looks like best bot is mia | 02:34 |
| mazda01 | is anyone on right now that has 10.04 installed and is using UbuntuOne? | 02:34 |
| lilrubyprog | Hmm....did you install it from software center, or terminal? | 02:34 |
| KoolaidJunkie | Does anyone know anything about Ubuntu Server, that could help me out. I'm having trouble mounting a USB External Harddrive. | 02:35 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, it's installed by default. | 02:35 |
| alazare619 | fuck you daylight savings time fucking up my sons schedule! | 02:35 |

| lilrubyprog | I didn't know UbuntuOne was install by default on 10.04 | 02:35 |

| juamji86 | hey guys im having problems installing ubuntu on laptop i get a black and white screen when i try to install it any one have an idea on how i can fix it | 02:36 |
| KoolaidJunkie | @Jordan_U that technically is the actual question. I want to mount a USB External HardDrive so I can share it through Samba. But it won't mount. I've tried everything I know, and it keeps outputting errors | 02:36 |
| CarlFK | http://dpaste.de/HdOgh/ now how do I get my config file back? :) | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | juamji86 | 02:37 |
| ubottu | juamji86: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 02:37 |
| Jordan_U | !details | KoolaidJunkie | 02:37 |
| ubottu | KoolaidJunkie: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 02:37 |
| meowsus | Can someone here help me out with my fstab config? I have an external hard-drive thats showing up twice in my file manager. Once as automounted, and once as not automounted, and i cant figure out why that would happen with my current fstab configuration. The drive in question's options are "noauto,user,exec,rw,async" and i only use it for RSYNC backups. | 02:37 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, NO | 02:37 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, the link i posted does NOT work | 02:37 |
| lilrubyprog | Really? | 02:38 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, if it's an external drive, you shouldn't have it in FSTAB at all. | 02:38 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, yes. | 02:38 |
| lilrubyprog | Ok, hold on. | 02:39 |
| KoolaidJunkie | Here is the Output from the Terminal | 02:39 |
| KoolaidJunkie | http://pastebin.com/yUQ1cSSN | 02:39 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | So I have 174 updates available in my updater manager for 11.10... Does anyone have advice on any packages that may encourage bugs or privacy issues? | 02:39 |
| meowsus | mazda01, intriguing.... Well, It doesn't move. It's only used for backups and is always plugged in, but I want to make sure it doesn't automount. I want to mount it myself before i pump my rsync stuff into it | 02:39 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | The info on a lot of these updates are quite vague | 02:40 |
| dr_willis | Cheap_Scotsman: most updates are for security issues, or bug fixs. | 02:40 |
| Jordan_U | KoolaidJunkie: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? | 02:40 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, if you watch this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Aece9s0lN4 the confirm computer access never pops up | 02:40 |
| === canis is now known as Guest68196 | ||
| lilrubyprog | ok will do | 02:41 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | dr_Willis: That's what I had assumed but I'm noticing a lot of solotaire games, auto crash reports and so on, which leads me to believe some are less than essential. | 02:41 |

| Jordan_U | KoolaidJunkie: I don't think that /dev/sdb1 has a valid filesystem on it. Why do you think it does? | 02:43 |
| KoolaidJunkie | I'm not sure if it has a filesystem or not. I bought it, did a format through windows, and have been adding files to it since. | 02:44 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, firefox 3.6.23 | 02:44 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, so you don't want it automounted? | 02:44 |
| lilrubyprog | Have you tried another browser? | 02:44 |
| Jordan_U | KoolaidJunkie: What did you format it as in Windows? Can you still access the files on it from Windows? | 02:44 |
| mazda01 | lilrubyprog, no, what, would i install google chrome and set that as my default browser in my preferences? | 02:45 |
| meowsus | mazda01, right. It just sits on my desk, plugged in and all, but before I added the line to fstab it would just spin up for no reason on occasion. | 02:45 |
| KoolaidJunkie | NTFS. and Yes the files are access fine when connected to my Windows 7, Windows XP, and Ubuntu Desktop computers | 02:45 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, maybe it's possible to add some udev rule that would not mount that particular device string. | 02:45 |
| meowsus | I just want it to be able to mount it before i run operations on it, then unmount it when i'm done, without haveing to disconnect it and reconnect it, ya dig? | 02:45 |
| lilrubyprog | No, you could try to use another browser to see if you can get the confirmation screen. | 02:45 |
| Jordan_U | KoolaidJunkie: Can you connect it to your Ubuntu Desktop computer and run "sudo blkid" from there? | 02:46 |
| KoolaidJunkie | Unfortunately Not tonight I can't. The Ubuntu/WindowsXP Machines are located in the Study, which is current occupied by a sleeping 1yr old nephew. | 02:48 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, i dig. never have had to deal with that issue. thinking | 02:48 |
| meowsus | :) | 02:48 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, you need to figure out how to get ubuntu to NOT auto mount that external usb drive | 02:48 |
| meowsus | Yeah, i've never really thought about it too much either, till i switched to lubuntu and it started just spinning seemingly randomly. | 02:48 |
| mazda01 | anyone in here running 10.04 | 02:48 |
| meowsus | Yeah, this is my goal | 02:49 |
| Jordan_U | KoolaidJunkie: My guess is that something is wrong with the drive / filesystem and you won't actually be able to access the files from other OSs either. | 02:49 |
| meowsus | And eff "MountManger" that program is an fstab butcher | 02:49 |
| BlackWeb | Just curious does anyone know of a good Program to manage IPOD on Ubuntu | 02:50 |
| methylenedioxy | Aren't mounts handled by udisks anyway? Adding them manually with mount always seems to not unmount as cleanly (directory is still there in /media) | 02:50 |
| KoolaidJunkie | The drive is fine, I had it plugged into my Windows 7 laptop just 30min ago, transferring file to it. | 02:50 |
| methylenedioxy | BlackWeb Amarok can do it, not totally sure about newer ones though | 02:50 |
| KoolaidJunkie | Shit, I think I know the problem, and it never dawned on me until now | 02:51 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, what version you running? | 02:51 |
| BlackWeb | Alright thanks methylenedioxy, I'll give it a try and see how it goes :) | 02:51 |
| meowsus | 11.10 oneiric | 02:52 |
| KoolaidJunkie | The hard drive is protected by Window Bitlocker, which is preventing Linux from access it | 02:52 |
| Planetary | Ok | 02:52 |
| KoolaidJunkie | So sorry for wasting your time. | 02:52 |
| unclemantis | i type exit and get a message saying there are stopped jobs | 02:52 |
| unclemantis | what does this mean and should i worry? | 02:52 |
| Cheap_Scotsman | Many of the updates in the update manager for 11.10 are for GNOME desktop functionality... Does that in any way effect the experience of someone just using Unity? | 02:53 |
| Planetary | I cant seem to partition alligned right. I have Xp and 11.04. Disk utility is telling me its off by 512bytes. what the hell | 02:54 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, what ubuntu version you using? | 02:54 |

| unknown_ | hi there | 02:55 |
| unknown_ | how to copy ssh keys to another ubuntu machine? thanks | 02:55 |
| meowsus | unknown_, it can't be as easy as copying ~/.ssh can it? | 02:56 |
| unknown_ | I have tried using ssh-copy-id -i from my machine | 02:56 |
| unknown_ | my machine name is uvm1 and the other is uvm2 | 02:56 |
| unknown_ | so I did like this | 02:56 |
| venluckey | hello, all | 02:57 |
| unknown_ | ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub uvm1@uvm2 | 02:57 |
| unknown_ | but it asked me for a password | 02:57 |
| Jordan_U | unknown_: That's expected. You need to authenticate with the remote host if you want it to trust you. | 02:59 |
| mazda01 | unknown_, right, you need to enter the password to login to that machine | 03:00 |

| SushiDude | I have not used ubuntu as my main desktop in years, I have a few questions. A. I would think Ubuntu comes with a firewall up and running because there is nothing to configure it installed by default. B. Is there SELinux enabled and enforcing by default, is there something else ubuntu uses? | 03:48 |
| Mario_ | Guest63797 install vnc in both. | 03:49 |
| mazda01 | SushiDude, there is no firewall by default because there are NO SERVICES running by default. Not sure about question B | 03:49 |
| bandit5432 | any one formated and reinstalled lts? | 03:49 |
| xangua | !firewall | SushiDude | 03:50 |
| ubottu | SushiDude: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 03:50 |
| SushiDude | ubottu, but is the firewall on? | 03:50 |
| xangua | no, it't not | 03:50 |
| bandit5432 | how do you easily change users group accounts on 11.10? trick question install k user :| | 03:51 |

| researcher123 | Please help on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/729969/ I cant update | 03:51 |
| SushiDude | and why does it default to using MBR and not GUID? | 03:51 |
| bandit5432 | because most people dont know what guid is and if you do then you can do it yourself ? | 03:51 |

| meowsus | It's like i graduated from training wheels, guys! | 03:53 |
| MagBo | haha silly question - in your pac manager there is something like a full text search on both package names and descriptions? | 03:53 |
| meowsus | mazda01, pcmanfm is the name of the filemanager... not a user in this channel | 03:54 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, i know | 03:55 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: where is it to be found | 03:55 |
| qin | meowsus: vifm | 03:55 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, open dash and search for update manager | 03:55 |
| SushiDude | Like fedora there should be a option for an Encrypted LVM using GUID when you install.. because encrypting just the home folder and lead to a lot more exploits because you edit the kernel and other system binaries because they are not encrypted. | 03:55 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, it's funny, everything i am reading people are actually having the opposite issue, it's not automounting usb devices. LOOL | 03:56 |
| lighta | oh talking about manager, I used to had "open a terminal here" in my old one, how could I put it back ?, (was thunar) | 03:56 |

| meowsus | mazda01, me too, man | 03:56 |
| ubottu | /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 03:56 |

| researcher123 | bandit5432: how do I know what versin of ubuntu Im using | 04:02 |
| Bpendragon | I have a question. Does anyone know how to run Eclipse (the Java IDE) in Ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| researcher123 | !version | 04:02 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 04:02 |
| xangua | researcher123: lsb_release -a | 04:02 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, what was the fail message? | 04:02 |
| meowsus | mazda01, definitely the right track | 04:03 |
| carlosqueso | Bpendragon: you should just be able to install it through software center and run it from the menu | 04:03 |
| meowsus | More tomorrow, and thanks! | 04:03 |
| D_Russ | is anyone else having a problem with wobbly windows sticking when using multiple desktops/workspaces? | 04:04 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: http://paste.ubuntu.com/729969/ | 04:04 |
| causative | Unity's lack of applets is a fatal flaw | 04:04 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, you still have the extras rep selected | 04:04 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, you unchecked or removed extras? | 04:05 |
| cntb | latest update changes a lot of gnome and other software, makes it difficult to decide | 04:05 |
| causative | it looks nicer but it's not better, except perhaps for the dash | 04:05 |
| mazda01 | meowsus and you said you don't have an /etc/hal/ folder? | 04:05 |
| Bpendragon | carlosqueso: thanks, I was trying to download and install it from the web. I just switched to Linux a week or so ago and am just learning the ropes. | 04:05 |
| cntb | now on natty | 04:05 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: I dont know how to unselect that | 04:05 |
| causative | the launcher on the left in unity is actually a great feature but since it has no applets I don't like it... | 04:05 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, you go into software sources like before | 04:05 |
| causative | I want my weather applets and my system monitor applet | 04:05 |
| urlin2u | causative, its as if you think we care | 04:06 |
| carlosqueso | Bpendragon, welcome to linux! Your first bet for any software is to search the software center (or Synaptic). You'll be surprised at how much is there! | 04:06 |
| researcher123 | I am on oneric 11.10 | 04:06 |
| D_Russ | people complain too much about unity when almost everything that is complained about can be changed. | 04:06 |
| xangua | causative: there is a weather and system monitor indicator | 04:06 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, ok then open ubuntu software center and click edit software sources | 04:06 |
| mazda01 | meowsus, it says on the LXDE faq page this: Yes, it does. It mounts devices from /etc/fstab automatically, others - removable drives and such - get mounted through HAL software. | 04:06 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: when I go to software sources I dnt know how to unslect as u suggested | 04:06 |
| causative | yeah xangua but the system monitor isn't as nice... it doesn't show the little graphs | 04:06 |
| causative | it just shows a number | 04:06 |
| Bpendragon | carlosqueso: I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to stay in here till I'm sure it installed properly, then I'll skeddadle. | 04:06 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, do you find the xtras repo in the list there? | 04:07 |
| cntb | researcher123, can you tell how are the changes | 04:07 |
| D_Russ | is anyone else having a problem with wobbly windows sticking when using multiple desktops/workspaces? | 04:07 |

| Mario_ | Silly question can I upgrade a ubuntu installation in a flash drive? or the permanence file is just for new documents? | 04:08 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: there are tabs link Other software, updates, ubuntu software etc | 04:08 |
| urlin2u | Mario_, persistance you mean? | 04:08 |
| MagBo | agrh. in gnome3 there isn't gconf-editor avaliable? | 04:08 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, click on other software tab and scroll tilll you find extras | 04:08 |
| Mario_ | urlin2u yes. | 04:08 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, yes and extra dconf editor as well | 04:09 |
| MagBo | bandit5432: *sadface* | 04:09 |
| D_Russ | is anyone else having a problem with wobbly windows sticking when using multiple desktops/workspaces? | 04:09 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, why the sad face? | 04:09 |
| urlin2u | Mario_, what you have is the original iso and whatever updates you have done and saved stuff in the persistence you can't realy upgrade that. | 04:09 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, you still there? | 04:10 |
| MagBo | bandit5432: my question was "isn't" avaliable, not "is gconf-editor avaliable" | 04:10 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: extra not seen | 04:10 |
| Mario_ | thnak you urlin2u how does the presistence work, is it mapped to /home? | 04:11 |
| urlin2u | Mario_, if you had say a 8 gig usb or bigger and a full install and the space you could upgrade disto's ten. | 04:11 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, there is available gconf-editor and a new dconf-ediotr aas well | 04:11 |
| bandit5432 | editor' | 04:11 |
| MagBo | bandit5432: so if yes, then how do I find a package where they are? cause, you know, I kind of read man apt-get and didn't find anything about fulltext searches on the package database | 04:11 |
| urlin2u | Mario_, it is a file in home that actually gets full and can't be emptiedbasically. | 04:11 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, look for one that says idependent | 04:12 |
| Mario_ | urlin2u ok, I have the iso, it is not installed in the pendrive, ok I get it. thanks. | 04:12 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: got Independent | 04:12 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, uncheck both of them | 04:12 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: did | 04:13 |
| urlin2u | Mario_, no problem you can actually make the persistance larger though by having it as a partition rather then a file if you have the room, it is called casper-rw | 04:13 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, apt-get install gconf-editor dconf-tools | 04:13 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, then try to update again | 04:13 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: done | 04:14 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, no errors? | 04:14 |
| researcher123 | bandit5432: no errors | 04:14 |
| bandit5432 | researcher123, yay!! | 04:14 |

| bandit5432 | researcher123, and you as well | 04:15 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, did that answer your question? | 04:15 |
| bandit5432 | jrodger, did you get the real tech working? | 04:17 |
| MagBo | bandit5432: unable to locate package :) | 04:18 |
| MagBo | bandit5432: apt-get install vim works though | 04:19 |
| Bpendragon | carlosqueso: got it installed, I need to install a specific .jar file, where do I put it on the computer? | 04:19 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, did you enable the multiverse and universe repos? | 04:19 |
| carlosqueso | Bpendragon, if you installed it through the software center, it should be in your menus and ready to go | 04:19 |
| MagBo | bandit5432: ah, okay, seems that I didn't | 04:19 |
| yoga | my laptop cannot not hibernat correctly. | 04:20 |
| === root is now known as Guest51362 | ||
| yoga | it won't turn off the laptop, when I choose hibernate | 04:20 |
| yoga | also when it boot up, the screen is very very dark, but still boot. | 04:21 |
| urlin2u | yoga, your swap equal to ram or larger? | 04:21 |
| Bpendragon | carlosqueso: it's not available through the software center. Any ideas? | 04:21 |
| yoga | swap > ram | 04:21 |
| yoga | urlin2u: | 04:22 |
| urlin2u | yoga, less than, has to be at least equal | 04:22 |
| carlosqueso | Bpendragon...sure, open up a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install eclipse" | 04:22 |
| carlosqueso | without the quotes of course | 04:22 |
| dluzius | I just installed 11.10 on my toshiba L-655, but have no battery indicator | 04:22 |
| urlin2u | yoga, sorry I was distracted greater then not sure than. | 04:23 |
| dluzius | it does show up in W7 | 04:23 |
| urlin2u | dluzius, you see the wifi icon the sound ...etc? | 04:23 |
| Bpendragon | wait... I'm past that. I have eclipse up and running. But I need to get a specific .jar file available. On windows and mac there's a specific folder you place it in, I was wondering if the same was true for ubuntu, and if so, where | 04:24 |
| dluzius | yes | 04:24 |
| linuxnut | What is a bad load average | 04:24 |
| yoga | but, I can boot with recover from the boot menu, then it will prompt me to another boot menu, and then I choose resume normal boot, it boot ok with the screen bright. | 04:24 |
| carlosqueso | Bpendragon...I'm not sure...what are you trying to do with the jar file? | 04:24 |
| urlin2u | dluzius, you were on earlier right? have you done anything that might be a cause? | 04:24 |
| Bpendragon | I need it to be able to use the classes in it, for a class on introductory Java I'm in | 04:25 |
| dluzius | I was on earlir but gon't think I've done anything to cause this | 04:25 |
| carlosqueso | Bpendragon...you can do that from within eclipse IIRC | 04:26 |
| carlosqueso | let me fire it up and check | 04:26 |
| urlin2u | dluzius, you might run unity --reset to see if that does it this command just sets unity to stock. | 04:26 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, did you get it working? | 04:26 |
| dluzius | sorry, what is unity --reset | 04:27 |
| bandit5432 | any one know how to reliably turn a monitor off including the backlight? | 04:27 |
| MagBo | bandit5432: I did | 04:27 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, ok good | 04:28 |
| carlosqueso | Bpendragon, you shoudl be able to save the file to your home directory or your desktop, then import it using File -> Import in eclipse | 04:28 |
| urlin2u | dluzius, I exsplained it in that post. | 04:28 |
| Bpendragon | ok | 04:28 |
| dluzius | what post are you referring to | 04:29 |
| MagBo | bandit5432: xset dpms force off IIRC | 04:29 |
| bandit5432 | i can have back light off and screen off and no way to get it back on or screen blank and backlight on | 04:29 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, does not turn the backlight off sadly | 04:29 |
| urlin2u | dluzius, it sets unity as if just installed worth a try if you have changed nothing might fix it never know. | 04:29 |
| soreau | bandit5432: IIRC wasn't part of the command btw | 04:29 |
| MagBo | bandit5432: xbacklight -set 0 IIRC | 04:29 |
| linuxnut | How can i prevent a SlowLoris attack i'm running apache2 on Ubuntu server | 04:29 |
| MagBo | linuxnut: mwahhhahahahahaaa | 04:29 |
| urlin2u | dluzius, this one are you really that slow. you might run unity --reset to see if that does it this command just sets unity to stock. :D | 04:30 |
| bandit5432 | urlin2u, ouch a little harsh :P | 04:30 |
| dluzius | how do I do this unity --reset | 04:30 |
| MagBo | linuxnut: if you have listened to RSnake talking at blackhat con (?) closely enough, he DID mentioned ways to do that | 04:30 |
| Anonymousmario | Ubuntu is awesome :D | 04:30 |
| MagBo | linuxnut: ayway, your question is a bit off the topic here | 04:31 |
| urlin2u | bandit5432, notice the smiley it is a joke. | 04:31 |
| bandit5432 | dluzius, ctrl+alt+t and then type unity --reset | 04:31 |
| MagBo | Anonymousmario: I wish they had an option to make a tiny installation with that awesome gnome3 thing. I mean why does linux weght 4GB when installed? | 04:31 |
| dluzius | ahhhh, ok, and sorry I'm so slow | 04:31 |
| Bpendragon | carlosqueso: ok, I've got it, thanks. | 04:32 |

| bandit5432 | MagBo, i did that and cant get it to reliably come back on | 04:33 |
| linuxnut | I cant seem to find a way to prevent the attack, i can execute the attack but not prevent it : | | 04:34 |

| soreau | bandit5432: Cool thanks | 04:37 |

| neobyte | It's giving me a "No such file or directory" error on I file I know exists | 04:37 |
| bandit5432 | soreau, i dunno its annoying you can try sudo apt-get remove evolution-indicator and then you have to restart the menu | 04:38 |
| neobyte | I mean, if I do an ls, it's there | 04:38 |
| neobyte | but when I try to run it, I get that error | 04:38 |
| soreau | bandit5432: ok | 04:38 |
| bandit5432 | soreau, type in a terminal killall gnome-panel | 04:38 |
| bandit5432 | soreau, type in a terminal 'killall gnome-panel' | 04:38 |
| soreau | bandit5432: Yea, I know how to restart the panel | 04:38 |
| soreau | bandit5432: I had to restart it after removing indicator-messages to get rid of the mail icon | 04:39 |
| bandit5432 | soreau, you are ahead of me then i had to google it last time i removed the indicator | 04:39 |
| bandit5432 | MagBo, the bug is around since 2005 and about 100 more just like it wish they would fix it :| | 04:40 |

| bandit5432 | soreau, nvidia current 285.05.09 and this bug has been around since at least 2005 | 05:03 |
| soreau | EvilResistance: You can lock to a certain version | 05:03 |
| soreau | EvilResistance: Otherwise the system administrator would just have to ensure it's never installed | 05:04 |
| soreau | bandit5432: Try #nvidia or perhaps nouveau | 05:04 |
| bandit5432 | good idea | 05:04 |
| tonyyarusso | EvilResistance: Only root can install anything, so as long as root doesn't install it, it doesn't get installed. Simple. | 05:05 |
| jrodger | bandit5432: no other card we can use (firewall is remote from here) also they have removed make and the ability to download from ubuntu sources, so yes, the will be a trial. | 05:05 |

| dr_willis | electricalan: skip the complaining.. i bet we have allready heard it all befor... move on to tweaking how you like | 05:21 |
| bandit5432 | Alkon, i would install the mediabuntu repos | 05:21 |
| ne7work | tonyyarusso but If I install 10.04 I'll don't have problems? | 05:21 |
| tonyyarusso | ne7work: what? | 05:21 |
| bandit5432 | Alkon, see http://medibuntu.org/repository.php | 05:21 |
| ne7work | tonyyarusso I can install 10.04 for better performance on my low machine right? | 05:22 |
| Alkon | bandit5432: i already did it but theres no package with that name | 05:22 |
| bandit5432 | ne7work, yes | 05:22 |
| tonyyarusso | ne7work: What makes you think 10.04 will have better performance? | 05:22 |
| bandit5432 | Alkon, install libavcodec-extra-53 | 05:22 |
| bandit5432 | tonyyarusso, you trying to get us to believe that 11.10 has better performance than 10.04? | 05:23 |
| Alkon | bandit5432: i'll try with that | 05:23 |
| tonyyarusso | bandit5432: No, I'm trying to get someone to find their problem before going on wild goose chases. | 05:24 |
| ne7work | Because 10.04 doesn't use gnome 3 etc.. | 05:24 |
| bandit5432 | tonyyarusso, that makes sense | 05:24 |
| Alkon | bandit5432: again the same problem | 05:25 |
| bandit5432 | Alkon, let me look | 05:26 |
| Alkon | bandit5432: i think that the problem is not with the codec, i have this problem since the release update | 05:28 |

| urlin2u | Abhijit, the work spaces increase as you use them | 05:44 |
| electricalan | is there any way to get alt tabbing working the same way it did before 11.10? | 05:44 |
| electricalan | i mean specifically not switching between different workspaces | 05:44 |
| chuck[screen] | Abhijit: yeah... need that PPA i guess... | 05:44 |
| Abhijit | urlin2u, and whats the shortcut for workspace switching? | 05:44 |
| Abhijit | urlin2u, and automatic workspace increase only adds vertical workspace | 05:45 |
| electricalan | wait, workspaces increase as u use them? | 05:45 |
| Abhijit | electricalan, yes | 05:45 |
| urlin2u | Abhijit, not sure is it the alt-tab switcher I don't use gnome that often. | 05:45 |
| Abhijit | urlin2u, ok | 05:45 |
| anurag | <dr_willis> Thanks for the prompt reply , but that is what I am not looking for . I will make it more precise ...... I have a .sh file which is executing on a terminal, at some point it triggers a a command that will open new terminal ........ I want to execute some command in the newly opened tab | 05:45 |
| electricalan | can I just set a default of always having 9 workspaces in a square? | 05:45 |
| bandit5432 | Alkon, i dont know i would try Performous | 05:45 |
| anurag | <dr_willis> I tried using gnome-terminal but that didnt work | 05:46 |
| Alkon | bandit5432: i'll try to reinstall it and then maybe try with that program | 05:46 |
| electricalan | one of the things I really liked about NN was not having to look at a huge list of applications when I alt tab, jsut the ones from the workspace I was currently using | 05:46 |
| electricalan | any idea how to get that going again? | 05:47 |
| bandit5432 | Alkon, its not the same program ultrastar has not updated in over a year | 05:47 |
| electricalan | Abhijit, I'm filling up my workspaces, I don't see them increasing | 05:47 |

| h33lt0e | Does Wubi install ubuntu on its own partition? What's the difference between using Wubi and installing from CD? | 06:19 |
| anurag | HI all ......... i have one question using xterm -e vi is it possible to get control back to previous terminal while a process is executing in the another terminal | 06:20 |
| h33lt0e | The reason being that I have been unsuccessful in trying to get my computer to boot from USB key, and don't have a cd-rom drive and was looking to use Wubi to install Ubuntu | 06:20 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, wubi is a file in windows. | 06:20 |
| h33lt0e | so does that mean it just runs the ubuntu interface inside windows? | 06:21 |
| h33lt0e | I can't install ubuntu onto an exf3 partition through windows? | 06:21 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, yes, do you know the out of the bios key prompt to choose the boot? | 06:21 |
| h33lt0e | yeah, i tried everything through the bios, I have an Acer Revo AR3610 | 06:22 |
| h33lt0e | when i try to boot from USB it just hangs, with a blinking cursor | 06:22 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, you tr f12 at powering on? | 06:22 |
| urlin2u | try* | 06:22 |
| h33lt0e | i tried formatting NTFS, Fat32 and i tried f12, set my bios to boot from usb key | 06:22 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, how are you loading the usb? | 06:22 |
| h33lt0e | it all just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor | 06:23 |
| h33lt0e | I use unetbootin to create the USB drive, then i just plug it in to the back of my revo in one of the usb ports | 06:23 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, tap the shift key at powering on at the gui hit f6 then nomodeset for a low graphic boot sounds like a graphic card problem. | 06:24 |
| h33lt0e | Oh, interesting. Is it an issue that I am using a 60" LCD projection tv? | 06:24 |
| h33lt0e | I will be back, i will try this! | 06:25 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, hard to say but unplug it if needed try the f6 plugged and unplugged. | 06:25 |
| h33lt0e | so as soon as it turns on i tap f6? | 06:26 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, start tapping as you turn it on it gets you to a early gui. | 06:26 |
| callen | I can't get jockey to select the current nvidia drivers and use them | 06:27 |
| callen | it throws an error and says to check the log | 06:27 |
| h33lt0e | whats the best format for the usb drive? NTFS? Fat32? | 06:27 |
| callen | 2011-11-06 22:25:24,446 DEBUG: nvidia_current_updates is not the alternative in use | 06:27 |

| rams_pandu | hi all, is there any java decompiler software for ubuntu 10.04? | 06:29 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, on the web it says a nividia card so te problem is the graphic driver the low graphic should work. | 06:29 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, if the usb is booting sounds like it is. | 06:30 |

| dudism | sudo apt-get remove --purge synaptic | 06:31 |
| celltech | urlin2u I can not delete residual config | 06:31 |
| dudism | or something afaik | 06:31 |
| urlin2u | celltech, what s the error your getting? | 06:32 |
| dudism | i really have to configure out | 06:32 |
| celltech | urlin2u apply will not activate | 06:32 |
| urlin2u | celltech, have you installed synaptic without runing and updates? | 06:32 |
| celltech | urlin2u, no. I just updated it | 06:33 |
| dudism | i still wonder why synaptic was removed, it is a very stable application now | 06:33 |
| urlin2u | celltech, so that repositories are good the cd is not ticked? | 06:33 |
| h33lt0e | ulrin2u: f6 doesnt do anything, goes straight to blinking cursor still | 06:34 |
| celltech | urlin2u, select all for complete removal. and the Apply option stays blank. So I can't "apply" changes | 06:34 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, can you try the usb on another conputer to confirm it is good? | 06:34 |
| geek7 | h33lt0e: if you have a windows box, try running the hp drive format tool (a site called baywolf has instructions) then running unetbootin on it | 06:35 |

| urlin2u | celltech, select all where is that in synaptic? | 06:36 |
| celltech | urlin2u , I mean I select all for complete removal. and it won't let me apply.. that's what I mean | 06:37 |
| rams_pandu | hi all, is there any java decompiler software for ubuntu 10.04? | 06:38 |
| urlin2u | celltech, so the select all for complete removal is part of the gui popup after picking stuff? | 06:38 |
| celltech | urlin2u, no. I manually righ click/ select them all, then try to apply the removal. There is no select all option | 06:39 |
| urlin2u | celltech, hmm I just don't understand, you are familoiar with synaptic though and how it works I assume. | 06:39 |
| celltech | urlin2u, enough to remove residual which I read is good to do for the computer | 06:40 |
| urlin2u | celltech, I don't think there is a select all option in synaptic it is a per package | 06:42 |
| urlin2u | celltech, I might be misunderstanding you though but with dependencies a select all right click makes no sense at least to me. :D | 06:43 |
| celltech | urlin2u, There is not no. However. When I right click every single option, and mark for complete removal. I'm supposed to have the option to apply the changes. And my Apply option is blacked out and not selectable | 06:44 |

| geek7 | but the drive formatter is the big thing IMO | 06:48 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, sounds like the usb needs reloading reformat the usb and use a fat32, unetbootin run in admin in ubuntu i forget for windows. | 06:48 |

| urlin2u | h33lt0e, you might try another loader pendrivelinux has several one for running ubuntu called multisystem, and I think the other called yum for windows. | 06:52 |
| Abhish | If you after reading that agree with it, speak up. | 06:52 |
| geek7 | h33lt0e,: delete those, install unetbootin | 06:52 |
| h33lt0e | geek7: gotchya, but this time dont format with unetbootin i assume? | 06:52 |
| Abhish | geek7: Whats the issue? | 06:52 |
| geek7 | h33lt0e: it won't. it should just copy the files in | 06:53 |
| urlin2u | h33lt0e, here is the yum for windows use, yeah it may be a problem with unetbootin, never happened to e but it does happen. https://encrypted.google.com/url?url=http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/&rct=j&sa=U&ei=LoC3TvS9L8qPiAKMubRm&ved=0CBwQFjAB&q=+pendrivelinux+usb+loader&usg=AFQjCNG-iracoPBlmk_IfBJCXaKZy9dabg | 06:53 |
| geek7 | the HP tool flips the bootable bit | 06:53 |
| h33lt0e | geek7: ahh i see! how interesting | 06:54 |
| h33lt0e | how long does it typically take to boot from a usb device (ie how long should i wait with the blinking cursor on my screen?) | 06:55 |

| llutz_ | jtr__: if you want to remove fedora, you should be sure to have written ubuntus grub into MBR first | 08:38 |
| jtr__ | llutz_: how do i do that ? | 08:38 |
| llutz_ | jtr__: easiest way: boot into ubuntu, reinstall grub | 08:38 |
| jtr__ | llutz_: will it not hamper my windows 7 entry in MBR? | 08:38 |
| llutz_ | jtr__:w7 in MBR? how do you start linux? | 08:39 |
| GeorgeJ | llutz_: w7 might just be an entry in grub | 08:39 |
| llutz_ | GeorgeJ: so its NOT in MBR | 08:39 |
| jtr__ | llutz_: i get win7 boot display, and then i choose among the three distros , when i choose ubuntu grub opens up | 08:40 |
| GeorgeJ | llutz_: I don't know where grub stores its list entries, so I would not know | 08:40 |
| jtr__ | llutz_: same with fedora , its grub shows up ( ubuntu and fedora grubs have distinct looks ) | 08:40 |

| MagBo | are there any ubuntu developers? I wonder how to extract ubuntu-vga-detecting magic to use it in my own live dirstro. | 08:41 |
| strix_ | jtr__: so linux grub entries are on linux partitions? | 08:42 |
| jtr__ | strix_: ya, maybe they are , would it help if i gave u a partition detail on pastebin ? | 08:42 |
| strix_ | jtr__: and you boot from windows boot menu. do you set up this from windows with EasyBCD | 08:43 |
| jtr__ | strix_: 90% i think that is the case , because i used some other software ( from win 7 ) which registers linux boot entries after detecting them | 08:43 |
| jtr__ | strix_: yes ESASYBCD!!!! | 08:43 |
| strix_ | jtr__: i see, so you want to remove fedora, and leave w7 and ubuntu | 08:44 |
| jtr__ | strix_: after deleting fedora i want to use its space and some more from the win7 ntfs partition | 08:44 |
| llutz_ | jtr__: easier just to use grub and boot win7 from there. no additional software needed at all | 08:44 |
| jtr__ | strix_: ya basically remove fedora first ( its irritating ) | 08:44 |
| jtr__ | strix_: the problem i face is because of three distros assigned individual spaces i run out of space on ubuntu. | 08:45 |
| MagBo | I was thinking about doing the following: having per-vga packages shipped with my live distro and an initscript working in a tiny linux to detect hardware then building per-boot package set and kexec into the per-boot made linux setup. I wonder what ubuntu devs think about that approach :) | 08:45 |
| strix_ | jtr__: so remove fedora entry with EasyBCD, remove fedora partition and use the space for something else | 08:46 |
| MagBo | jtr__: you can (and must) easily share partition between your OSes :) | 08:46 |
| aum__ | hello everyone, i have installed some software (apache ,php, mysql etc) through apt-get now i want to install it on another machine where i do not have internet connection , how can i copy and configure .deb files | 08:47 |

| llutz_ | milligan: -aG it should have been | 08:54 |
| milligan | llutz, right. So, what group do I need to add my user to to be able to use sudo again ? | 08:55 |
| milligan | sudo ? | 08:55 |
| llutz_ | milligan: adduser user admin (admin is the group for sudo) | 08:55 |
| milligan | right. So, if I don't want to add a new user, but fix my current, I would do: usermod -aG admin,milligan,vboxusers milligan ? | 08:56 |
| llutz_ | milligan: yes | 08:56 |

| ksx4system | well, one more time: what's wrong with TRIM support in Ubuntu 11.10? OCZ Vertex2 SSD, ext4 mounted with discard, nodiratime and relatime - DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY | 09:38 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: define DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY | 09:38 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: (if you can do it without caps that would be better) | 09:38 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: it doesn't pass this test https://sites.google.com/site/lightrush/random-1/checkiftrimonext4isenabledandworking (with 11.04 it worked like a charm) | 09:39 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: what does it do | 09:40 |
| karl-augustt | how to migrate to 11.10 with an 10.04 | 09:40 |
| karl-augustt | le | 09:41 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: read linked page. last command should output zeros, it doesn't (file was deleted but sectors content was untouched - we can say that it wasn't really deleted = trim doesn't work) | 09:41 |
| llutz_ | karl-augustt: 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04-> 11.10 better to install from new or wait until 12.04 will be released | 09:41 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: I'm well aware of that test, hence why I'm asking what your machine actually does | 09:41 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: well, as I said: outputs untouched content. file was deleted (ls | grep filename = doesn't exist) but its content is still present on ssd | 09:42 |
| ksx4system | and it is even after ~20 minutes | 09:43 |
| ksx4system | long enough to kick in for trim | 09:43 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: does the ocz support trim ? can you show me your fstab, have you mounted/unmounted after updating fstab | 09:43 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: fstab is not dynamic | 09:43 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: yes, it does (OCZ Vertex2 60Gb with latest 1.35 firmware). I rebooted after editing fstab | 09:43 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: can you show me where that device shows trim support (I'm asking as I have 2 of the exact same devices) | 09:44 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep TRIM outputs two lines "Data Set Management TRIM supported (limit 1 block)" and "Deterministic read data after TRIM" | 09:46 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: ok - cool, I got that on mine too | 09:47 |
| ksx4system | it was one of my worst ideas ever to buy SSD | 09:47 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: it has nothing to do with the problem I used to face (and solved) tonight | 09:47 |
| h33lt0e | what folder does ubuntu install programs to? | 09:48 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: ahh, mine as OCZ Vertex PLUS, sorry, slightly different | 09:48 |
| ksx4system | I should just get one/two 10k rpm WD drives | 09:48 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: still it supports TRIM ;) but it's probably not Sandforce based | 09:48 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: totally agree | 09:48 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: it's just that I came up with an idea of creating fully persistant live distro on top of archlinux that'll do ubuntu-like hardware-detecting magick | 09:48 |
| dnivra | I am trying to install openvas-server on Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm getting the following error -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/730799/. Could someone tell me what is wrong? | 09:48 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: Why not just do a normal install of Ubuntu? A normal install of Ubuntu does dynamic hardware detection just like a live version. | 09:49 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: I'm sentenced to SSD now... HDD prices are crazy atm | 09:49 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: I'm really interested in how is it solved in ubuntu, but I think that having package cache and booting in an intermediate linux that builds up needed stuff and kexeccing into the per-boot built system will do it :) | 09:50 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: I can't help you with that as I don't control the prices | 09:50 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: and current Ubuntu doesn't want to run with it... nightmare :/ | 09:50 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: i know, i know | 09:50 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: well, because - generally - I don't like ubuntu tbh :) I picked it as I needed to build up a simple bootable live distro to do some quick hacking | 09:50 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: well, I'll reboot this box one more time and check if this TRIM fail was temporary | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: Kexec doesn't magically pass along proper drivers and hardware configuration. | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | MagBo: OK, then we should move this discussion to another channel like ##linux (if you want to continue). | 09:51 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: ofc. I'll write some scripts that will be executed by the intermediate linux and then kexec in the per-boot configuration | 09:52 |
| MagBo | Jordan_U: sure, I'll be there in a second | 09:52 |

| yann2 | want to upgrade from lucid to maverick | 10:14 |
| ikonia | yann2: control the language and follow the documented upgrade procedure | 10:15 |
| ikonia | yann2: -d is "development" version, maverick is not a development version, which document are you following ? | 10:15 |
| ksx4system | ikonia: well, temporary solution will be adding fstrim / to cron as daily... + @reboot | 10:15 |
| ikonia | ksx4system: that's not really a solution to me | 10:15 |
| yann2 | ikonia, without a -d it says "No new release found", -d used to get it to work | 10:15 |

| deej1976 | gnuplot ? | 10:56 |
| karl-augustt | do you think something about? | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | the spreadsheet in libreoffice perhaps. can do graphs | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | i thik | 10:56 |
| plotino | im in crisys ... | 10:56 |
| plotino | i cannot installa gnome shell | 10:56 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: Calc can, but it's not really intended for that, it's too powerful. | 10:56 |
| plotino | i can ping my router but no dns resolv with that shit of network manager | 10:57 |
| plotino | i have static IP | 10:57 |
| plotino | how to regain internet connection? | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? | 10:57 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: (s)he has no internet, so nope | 10:58 |
| plotino | what is that? | 10:58 |
| dr_willis | googles dns server | 10:58 |
| plotino | i have tried to manually set the file resolv.conf | 10:59 |
| plotino | but nothing to do | 10:59 |
| plotino | i dont like the new update system of ubuntu :( | 10:59 |
| plotino | he left you without internet just for update | 10:59 |
| jasonmchristos | i asked you a question | 10:59 |
| jasonmchristos | day 7 what happens ? | 11:00 |
| plotino | to me? | 11:00 |
| theadmin | plotino: What does "ifconfig" show? | 11:00 |
| plotino | show the static IP correctly | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | new? same as its always been aş far as ive noticed | 11:00 |
| plotino | the problem is in resolving dns | 11:00 |
| theadmin | plotino: Oh, okay. Run this: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf | 11:00 |
| GeorgeJ | How does one auto-mount a ntfs partition at startup? Is there any GUI, or should I just go into fstab? | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | which is why i asked if you can ping 8.8.8.8 plotino .... | 11:01 |
| theadmin | GeorgeJ: fstab. Oh, and the type is "ntfs-3g", not ntfs | 11:01 |
| plotino | ping 8.8.8.8 is replying dr_willis | 11:01 |
| Chinta | (Newbie here) Does anyone know of a possible reason why I fail to connect via Pidgin to an IRC server different than this one? The error message is "connection timed out". I wonder what the problem could be, anyone? | 11:01 |
| jasonmchristos | dont use 8.8.8.8 it has blocks against racism | 11:01 |
| GeorgeJ | theadmin: ntfs-3g? | 11:01 |
| theadmin | GeorgeJ: Yeah | 11:01 |
| jasonmchristos | use your local isp nameservers | 11:01 |
| sven_ | jasonmchristos, details about the blocks? | 11:01 |
| GeorgeJ | theadmin: Hmm, I'm unfamilliar with this, what does the 3g stand for? | 11:01 |
| theadmin | jasonmchristos: lolwut, no it doesn't, you have no idea what you're talking about | 11:01 |
| theadmin | GeorgeJ: ntfs-3g is the read-write NTFS driver, "ntfs" filesystem type assumes the standard read-only one | 11:02 |
| GeorgeJ | theadmin: Oh I see, thanks! | 11:02 |
| plotino | so dr_willis | 11:02 |
| Andy80 | test | 11:02 |
| theadmin | plotino: Would you run that command I gave and try again? | 11:02 |
| dr_willis | plotino: so try setting your dns server to be 8.8.8.8 like suggested earlier | 11:02 |
| plotino | where ? in resolv.conf | 11:03 |
| plotino | ? | 11:03 |
| sven_ | Chinta, it seems it can be resolved, but not connected. are you behind some firewall possibly? | 11:03 |
| jasonmchristos | sven_: just going to have to try yourself post a racism webpage and see if it gets blocked on 8.8.8.8 | 11:03 |
| theadmin | jasonmchristos: You're saying some nonsense. Please stop. | 11:03 |
| plotino | theadmin ifconfig? | 11:04 |
| theadmin | plotino: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf | 11:04 |
| plotino | ok | 11:04 |
| jasonmchristos | nupe dont use 8.8.8.8 | 11:04 |
| jasonmchristos | use your local isp's nameservers | 11:05 |
| theadmin | jasonmchristos: Stop. being. an. IDIOT! | 11:05 |
| Chinta | sven_: Thanks for answering. Yes, I guess so. I am using an open network at the university. But the funny thing is that I can connect to THIS server. | 11:05 |
| jasonmchristos | and get to know the kids that work there | 11:05 |
| theadmin | !ops | jasonmchristos is being a troll, please, someone, get rid of it >.< | 11:05 |
| sven_ | jasonmchristos, i just tried it with b&h and it resolves just like any other dns, so while there are good reasons not to use 8.8.8.8 this is certainly not one of them | 11:05 |

| jasonmchristos | said his website was racist | 11:06 |
| jasonmchristos | ok ikonia | 11:06 |
| theadmin | plotino: The secret? We just set your nameserver to Google's public DNS | 11:06 |
| dr_willis | plotino: its not getting your dns servers.. if you are using static ip. set a static dns if you want | 11:06 |
| jasonmchristos | ill stop | 11:06 |
| theadmin | plotino: You could as well have ran "sudo dhcpcd" to set it to your ISP's nameservers I suppose. | 11:06 |
| Chinta | sven_: LOL. Well, I guess I should then really sit and study and look for procrastination elsewhere. Have a nice week! | 11:07 |
| jasonmchristos | just tell everyone to use 8.8.8.8 when thier local isp provides it | 11:07 |

| plotino | theadmin why my usual DNS didnt work? | 11:07 |
| dr_willis | my isp dns has other spammy issues.. so yes.. i use 8.8.8.8 instead of theirs | 11:07 |

| plotino | yes i do | 11:09 |
| plotino | in the resolv.conf | 11:09 |
| plotino | but it didnt work | 11:09 |
| plotino | now it's working | 11:09 |
| plotino | ok | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | and that got overwriten by the network manager.,,, | 11:09 |
| sven_ | plotino, use "dig ibm.com @ANY-IP" to check if ANY-IP does resolve stuff for you... | 11:09 |
| plotino | anyway actually im using network manager or not? | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | set the ip/dns in network manager. o | 11:09 |

| Mariorocks1 | How well will ubuntu linux run on a 1.65Ghz 400MB harddrive with 2GB of ram installed in the memory slots on a desktop computer? | 11:18 |
| Mariorocks1 | Graphics is 2400xp | 11:18 |
| dr_willis | so it jumped from the middle of the screen to the top tight? | 11:18 |
| Jonii | mariorocks!, is that 400MB harddrive right? | 11:18 |
| Mariorocks1 | yes | 11:18 |
| retr0 | <Mariorocks1>, on 400MB not well, if at all | 11:18 |
| theadmin | Mariorocks1: It won't, Ubuntu requirs 6GB to even install | 11:18 |
| Jonii | Or 400GB? | 11:19 |
| dr_willis | heh.. an old hd.. | 11:19 |
| theadmin | Mariorocks1: Try, hm... I have no idea what to suggest you. SliTaZ maybe? | 11:19 |
| dr_willis | tiny core linux = 10mb | 11:19 |
| theadmin | Or that | 11:19 |
| retr0 | <Mariorocks1>, how do you have a 400MB hard drive lying around? | 11:19 |
| dr_willis | time to spend $30 and get a bigger hd... | 11:20 |
| ksx4system | theadmin: LOL 6Gb, you can do it under 1Gb (bare bones, no X, no desktop env.) | 11:20 |
| Mariorocks1 | i am thinking about updating it in 2012 to a 1TB harddrive emachine computer | 11:20 |
| theadmin | ksx4system: The desktop Ubuntu does | 11:20 |
| retr0 | <Mariorocks1>, wait wait, 400MB to 1TB?? | 11:20 |
| theadmin | ksx4system: I'm not talking about mininstall or derivatives | 11:20 |
| JapyDooge | Mariorocks1: not Ubuntu, but other distributions can run fine in 400MB | 11:20 |
| dr_willis | i run my whole system off a 32gb usb flash. ;) | 11:20 |
| Mariorocks1 | retro0 i was talking buying a new computer | 11:20 |
| Mariorocks1 | :P | 11:21 |
| Mrokii | Does anybody know where (besides mimeapps.list) I can find data about which application is used to open certain filetypes? For weeks now if I connect a smart-card (via a reader) the folder is opened in gedit instead of nautilus showing the folder. The same happens when I try to open the trashcan via cairo-dock. | 11:21 |

| nachos | whats the name of the firewall app in 11.10? | 11:21 |
| theadmin | nachos: ufw | 11:21 |
| dr_willis | !firewall | 11:21 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 11:21 |
| retr0 | <Mariorocks1>, ah ok. But still, I'm surprised you've got a 400MB hard drive. My first computer was a 486 with a 170MB hard drive, and that was 20 years ago | 11:21 |
| retr0 | so I'm surprised you've got a hard drive that size | 11:21 |
| Mariorocks1 | i got the computer back in 2003 | 11:21 |
| Jonii | dr_willis: yeah. It was barely visible anymore. For some reason, I haven't seen any window disappear completely, there's always some small trace left of them in some corner or side | 11:22 |
| zamba | hi there.. i have a ubuntu host running on vmware.. it uses lvm for its root fs.. i have now changed the size of the disk allocated from vmware.. how do i then resize the root partition? | 11:22 |
| dr_willis | jonii it could be some compix plugin/keycombo.. | 11:23 |
| retr0 | <Mariorocks1>, Honestly, if you've got a 1GB flash drive lying around you could run it off that if you really wanted to. It would probably run a little slow, but it would be doable | 11:23 |
| Mariorocks1 | I am a ubuntu geek :3 | 11:23 |
| retr0 | you just can't install it, it has to be the live cd | 11:23 |
| dr_willis | home on flash.. / on the hd.. | 11:23 |
| Mariorocks1 | i have version 9.10, 10,04, 10,10, 11.04, 11.10 :P | 11:23 |
| dr_willis | well /boot on the hd.. | 11:23 |
| Jonii | dr_willis: but as far as I know, the only shortcut to moving windows is ctrl+alt+arrow, which is unable to do anything like that | 11:23 |
| Mariorocks1 | those versions are all on different live cds | 11:24 |
| dr_willis | jonii the grid plugin can do more i think | 11:24 |
| mndo | Mrokii, i can find that info on nautilus | 11:24 |
| Jonii | What's that, and is it installed by default? | 11:24 |
| retr0 | <Mariorocks1>, yeah, if you run it on a flash drive you'll get data retention which means it'll save your files and settings, so it might be an option | 11:25 |
| dr_willis | no idea Jonii check the ccsm tool and see whats enabled. | 11:25 |
| dr_willis | !ccsm | 11:25 |

| Jonii | also, for some reason menus and writing tends to stop responding, especially in firefox | 11:34 |
| Jonii | That is, programs randomly become entirely unresponsive to some specific input. The last time this happened, 15 minutes ago, firefox become unresponsive to text manipulation(marking, writing, having cursor in it), but you could still switch between tabs etc | 11:34 |

| dyd | guys i have to search for anything containing the word "marco" in an hd, how can i do that? | 12:00 |
| CarlFK | dyd: find / -type f -exec grep macro {} \; | 12:00 |
| theadmin | Nope. | 12:01 |
| CarlFK | dyd: find (start dir) (files) (look at the found file for macro) | 12:01 |
| theadmin | sudo find / -type f -exec grep macro '{}' \; | 12:01 |
| CarlFK | theadmin: good catch | 12:01 |
| theadmin | Quotes are important here, files may have spaces in the name | 12:01 |
| CarlFK | oh right. I shoujld go back to bed | 12:02 |
| geirha | theadmin: The quotes around {} are not needed. find does not execute the command in a shell. | 12:02 |
| theadmin | geirha: It doesn't? Hm, well... | 12:03 |
| dyd | thanks | 12:03 |
| dyd | i receive this error... find / -type f -exec grep macro {} \; | 12:05 |
| dyd | ops sorry | 12:05 |
| plotino | hi theadmin | 12:05 |
| dyd | grep: /proc/sysrq-trigger: Input/output error | 12:05 |
| plotino | hi to all | 12:05 |
| plotino | now im in the machine | 12:05 |
| plotino | with ubutnu 11.10 | 12:05 |
| plotino | but i suck this unity | 12:05 |
| plotino | how can i come back to previous desktop manager= | 12:05 |
| geirha | dyd: Yes, it'll have problems with special files like that. So you may either want to avoid decending into directories like /proc and /sys, or just redirect stderr to /dev/null | 12:05 |
| theadmin | plotino: You can't, gnome2 is no longer supported | 12:06 |
| Sidewinder1 | !nounity | plotino | 12:06 |
| ubottu | plotino: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:06 |
| geirha | dyd: -xdev should help. find / -xdev -type f -exec grep -F macro {} \; | 12:06 |
| plotino | but i dontn have notification area | 12:07 |
| plotino | no systray | 12:07 |

| theadmin | dyd: No, this will not work at all | 12:09 |
| theadmin | dyd: grep searches inside files | 12:09 |
| theadmin | dyd: What you want is: sudo find /media/hdd -type d -iname '*macro*' -print | 12:09 |
| dyd | theadmin: ok, and this will search in all subfolders too? | 12:11 |
| theadmin | dyd: Correct, if you want to disable that add "-maxdepth 1" | 12:11 |

| BluesKaj | gigenieks, install XP first on a ntfs partition and then make an ext3/4 partition and install ubuntu on that | 12:27 |

| gigenieks | I have Xubuntu 11.04. | 12:28 |

| JapyDooge | gigenieks: do you know what version of HoMM3 it is? :) | 12:29 |

| JapyDooge | gigenieks: you might want to install direct x first, and then homm3 :) but according to this page you only need to add some files to make multiplayer possible: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2628 | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | sagaci, you have a repos that has an unrecognized signature key, it's quite common with ppas or special application repos | 12:34 |
| JapyDooge | gigenieks: alternative is using Crossover:Games | 12:34 |
| JapyDooge | http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=2134 | 12:34 |
| JapyDooge | but not free (Except when you betatest for them) | 12:34 |
| gigenieks | JapyDooge: I don't need to install homm3 I have to extract it (I already gave it executable bit, so it runs) and I dont need multiplayer just single player. :) | 12:35 |
| JapyDooge | ahhh gigenieks then you need to install the appropiate directx version in wine :) after that it should run :) | 12:35 |
| JapyDooge | i think DirectX 7 | 12:36 |
| sagaci | skumara, thanks, that solved it | 12:37 |
| skumara | sagaci: :) | 12:37 |
| gigenieks | JapyDooge: can' t I just install DirectX 9.0c? | 12:37 |
| gigenieks | http://ask.broathersoft.com/how-to-put-directx-9-on-ubuntu-88455.html | 12:37 |
| JapyDooge | might work also, normally DirectX is backwards compatible, but some game developers fail to understand that and require specific versions | 12:37 |

| pwuertz | theadmin, ccsm does not seem to have any effect on unity2d | 12:46 |
| Besogon | crizzy: thank.. I'm writting from it which was started from USB-stick.. It seems to work slow. Hope It will be better if I install it on hard drive. Could it work faster from hard drive then from Flash or it it's gona be the same??? | 12:47 |
| theadmin | pwuertz: Oh, okay... Sorry. | 12:47 |
| theadmin | Besogon: It will be a lot faster | 12:47 |

| soreau | pwuertz: What is the output of 'ps ax|egrep "metacity|compiz|unity"|grep -v grep'? | 12:47 |

| mathi | I installed Ubuntu 11.10, I would like to know which VNC server is the best to use? I's use UltraVNC from windows to connect to my Linux server ? | 13:20 |
| Sidewinder1 | gigenieks, Perhaps this will help: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing | 13:21 |
| jtr__ | pramod: can u pastebin be the output of lsusb ? | 13:21 |
| Sidewinder1 | muv, My pleasure. | 13:21 |
| compdoc | mathi, vnc4server works well. And clipbaord sharing works by running vncconfig | 13:21 |
| compdoc | *clipboard | 13:21 |
| soreau | warm: yea so you have to resolve the dependencies yourself. 'apt-cache pkg-name|grep dev' should help you find most of them | 13:22 |
| pramod | jtr__: the process is still running in the terminal!!!!! | 13:22 |
| jtr__ | pramod: which one ? | 13:22 |

| Sidewinder1 | gigenieks, It should be; that being said, if you're gonna' shrink/resize any NTFS/fat32 partition, just make sure that you Defragment it first; at least twice. | 13:25 |
| theadmin | jtr__, pramod: In case you need to be able to close the terminal after wvdial is ran, run it like "wvdial &disown" or whatever | 13:25 |

| jpjacobs | ? | 13:28 |
| onre | jpjacobs, yes it should | 13:29 |
| jtr__ | pramod: the way u connect using wvdial is run it in terminal and leave it, and then open the browser and work normally, if a web page doesn't open then you have a problem ! | 13:29 |
| jpjacobs | onre: so without stopping other services? | 13:29 |

| jtr__ | pramod: leave it | 13:35 |
| jtr__ | pramod: so when you restart to ubuntu u cannot connect right ? | 13:35 |
| jtr__ | pramod: what happens when u try ? | 13:35 |
| jtr__ | pramod: i mean using wvdial | 13:35 |
| mathi | compdoc, well it looks like ubunto 11.10 has a desktop sharing utility, I don't have to install anything | 13:35 |
| compdoc | mathi, yes, it allows you to share the desktop, but someone has to be logged in already | 13:36 |
| compdoc | logged into the console, I mean | 13:36 |
| jpjacobs | onre: apparently reloading alone does not start the new service, unfortunately | 13:37 |
| mathi | compdoc, so if the computer is idle, and session is locked, I can't connect ? | 13:37 |
| compdoc | if no one is logged into the console, you cannot connect | 13:37 |
| compdoc | its desktop sharing | 13:37 |
| pramod | jtr__: device is not detected.. it says.. WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60.. Warning: section [Dialer Defaults] does not exist in wvdial.conf. | 13:37 |
| jtr__ | pramod: a virtual machine is just a piece of software that allows u to run an OS in just a window ( that means you could run ubuntu in a window in Windows7 os, or vice versa) | 13:37 |
| mathi | compdoc, well if I open a session and never logout, no problem? | 13:38 |

| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: all have different desktop envs , check their sites , but i think kubuntu is the best ( only my opinion ) | 14:09 |
| lakatosi | I can only hear the radio feed | 14:09 |
| user81773 | M0TRN_th1: kubuntu = kde | 14:09 |
| M0TRN_th1 | ok I guess I will try kubuntu | 14:09 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: kde + ubuntu = kubuntu | 14:09 |
| M0TRN_th1 | as long as it doesn't have unity it can't be worse | 14:09 |
| Sidewinder1 | M0TRN_th1, Why not just run 10.04? Like me. :-) | 14:09 |
| lakatosi | The embedded SoundCloud player won't start | 14:14 |
| M0TRN_th1 | Sidewinder1, because it has all old libs that don't work | 14:14 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: it will still have unity :P | 14:14 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: all u have to do right now is go to your synaptic and install package kubuntu :) | 14:14 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, I can do this from normal Ubuntu install? | 14:14 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: yes! | 14:14 |
| M0TRN_th1 | ok | 14:14 |
| M0TRN_th1 | I don't know why Ubuntu decided to go down this path I know several who have dropped Linux because of this and switch to windows | 14:14 |
| lakatosi | If I try to listen to the song on SoundCloud after a few restarts it starts. playing. But it is a bit of a chore to manually switch to another song. Does anyone else have this issue? | 14:14 |
| M0TRN_th1 | mentioning the w-word caused that? | 14:14 |
| dr_willis | windows 8 is heading down the unity like path also...... | 14:14 |

| Spartakus | dr_willis, is there Windows 8? I think there were still Windows 7 | 14:14 |

For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 14:21 |

| M0TRN_th1 | I know KDE 4 was crap when it was new | 14:22 |
| Exopaladin | Xubuntu probably feels the closest to old Gnome if you're after that | 14:22 |
| M0TRN_th1 | and I haven't tried it after that | 14:22 |

| cylonmath | Guys I have been using 10.04 , and i am new to Linux. If I dont switch to latest distribution , i can not upgrade my packages to latest version ??? | 14:29 |
| private_meta | LogicallyDashing: typo, i wrote hp_health, not hp-health | 14:29 |
| LogicallyDashing | cylonmath: you can still get backports for a while but you have to enable that section of the repository | 14:30 |
| M0TRN_th1 | cylonmath, only iif someone has backported those packages to 10.04 | 14:30 |
| private_meta | LogicallyDashing: dpkg -P yields the same result | 14:30 |
| LogicallyDashing | cylonmath: and if you're patient you can most likely compile them yourself but at that point I'd suggest upgrading the whole system | 14:30 |
| Myrtti | cylonmath: is there a reason why you'd want the latest version of packages other than just wanting the latest version of packages? 10.04 does get security updates and it's perfectly ok to use | 14:30 |
| M0TRN_th1 | cylonmath, but if you want to upgrade I suggest you try out a live CD first since there is just a *tiny* chance you might not totally love the new GUI!! ;) | 14:30 |
| compdoc | 11.04 is fine too | 14:31 |
| Myrtti | compdoc: but 10.04 is LTS ;-) | 14:31 |
| M0TRN_th1 | compdoc, but 11.04 support will end sooner than that of 10.04 | 14:31 |
| cylonmath | I ask because i am afraid some newly built software has a 'version' dependency probably. Thanks for your suggestions i got it ! | 14:31 |
| compdoc | so? by then, the problems with 11.10 will be sorted | 14:31 |
| jtr__ | compdoc: so optimistic :) | 14:32 |
| compdoc | heh | 14:32 |
| M0TRN_th1 | compdoc, dunno, I'm not too suer | 14:32 |

| sipior | Mond: makes no difference. | 14:41 |
| llutz | M0TRN_th1: just a note, rsync -a already includes -g | 14:41 |

| Jacks_Revenge | I just installed a new video card and my desktop does not fit my screen, any suggestions? | 14:42 |

| ardithoxha | hey can anyone help me with EMESENE? | 15:02 |
| ryannathans | since that massive netsplit i can't get any access to my server in my own house, it errors on incorrect password, when it's correct it just asks for login again | 15:02 |
| M0TRN_th1 | arf.. I instaleld kubuntu-desktop and rebooted and it came up with shiny new login prompt and KDE splash screen but when I logged in it put unity back again | 15:03 |
| jtr__ | ryannathans: restart the IRC client | 15:03 |
| Pumpkin- | ryannathans: Level3 (a major internet transit provider) is currently having a lot of issues. This may well explain this. | 15:04 |
| deej1976 | M0TRN_th1: Before entering your password you may need to select the correct session | 15:04 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: the shiny new login has an option where u must choose the KDE plasma workspace :) | 15:04 |
| M0TRN_th1 | yeah that's right | 15:04 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, it works now | 15:04 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: there is a blue arrow pointing downwards, click it and see the options | 15:05 |
| ryannathans | jtr__: this is my actual system | 15:05 |

| ryannathans | i can't login to it | 15:05 |
| ryannathans | with mouse and keyboard | 15:05 |
| ryannathans | tried a reboot | 15:05 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, it works but its super slow to load | 15:05 |
| ryannathans | sshd refuses connections as soon as i get password correct, same as ftp | 15:05 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: good things take time, and this is the first startup, lot of default configs load | 15:05 |
| jtr__ | ryannathans: sorry dude, i can't get one bit of your problem, but let me try | 15:06 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, it's loaded now and it's looking nice | 15:06 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: enjoy kde :) and if u can, get involved : http://www.kde.org/community/getinvolved/ | 15:06 |
| ryannathans | i can't log in, i get errors when password is wrong, when i get password correct it jsut asks me to log in again, the box is hot and hdds are maxed I/O | 15:07 |
| ryannathans | sshd drops connection on login, same as ftp | 15:07 |
| ryannathans | smb just died | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | i would wonder if theres not some nasty hardware failure going on. | 15:08 |
| M0TRN_th1 | ryannathans, it probably can't look up your hostname or something | 15:08 |
| willh_ | with xrdp, how do I increase the number of users that can login from 10 to 25? | 15:08 |
| jtr__ | ryannathans: it's like die hard's - fire sail but only on one computer :P | 15:08 |
| QuikNik | hey all, i'm thinking about switching my one desktop to Ubuntu but I am not a big fan of Unity... is there any way to use Gnome2 like came default in 10.10 with the newer revisions like 11.04, 11.10 or the upcoming 12.04 LTS? I just prefer Gnome2 | 15:10 |
| M0TRN_th1 | QuikNik, it's possible but the end result is quite sucky | 15:10 |
| M0TRN_th1 | I am just trying KDE instead it seems pretty good | 15:10 |
| ryannathans | M0TRN_th1: this is LOCAL montior/keyboard/mouse | 15:11 |
| dr_willis | QuikNik: id suggest giving unity a chance, and trying gnome-shell, be sure to check out the tweak guides at the webupd8 blog site and the lists of indicator applets and lenses and quicklists at askubuntu.com | 15:11 |
| M0TRN_th1 | ryannathans, did you try logging into text console with ctrl+alt+f1? | 15:11 |
| xangua | !gnome2 | QuikNik | 15:11 |
| ubottu | QuikNik: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 15:11 |
| ryannathans | M0TRN_th1: that's what i'm trying. | 15:12 |
| === Lynx is now known as Guest37631 | ||
| dr_willis | QuikNik: you could always use some dock in unity if you wanted a nice panel at the bottom. | 15:12 |
| M0TRN_th1 | ryannathans, probably its memory is full with some runaway script or program | 15:12 |
| ryannathans | on reboot i can't | 15:12 |
| Sidewinder1 | QuikNik, Just install 10.04, it's LTS and will be supported 'til 2013. | 15:12 |

| hutch | Is there a way to add dash home to cairo docck and remove side bar? | 15:12 |
| QuikNik | I haven't tried 11.10 yet, has unity changed much since 11.04? | 15:12 |
| jtr__ | !notunity | 15:12 |
| ryannathans | the system was only installed yesterday | 15:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 15:12 |
| dr_willis | QuikNik: its improved a lot. and will get better in 12.xx | 15:12 |
| QuikNik | Sidewinder1, yeah or just say the heck with it and keep a 10.10 installation hjehe | 15:13 |
| QuikNik | or 10.04, yeah | 15:13 |
| M0TRN_th1 | ryannathans, sounds like its screwed up try booting in safe mode | 15:13 |

| gringochapin | Hi all. Trying to convert a Ubuntu 11.10 desktop install to a server install. Any tips on what packages I should remove to completely get rid of the desktop and everything related? | 15:14 |
| jtr__ | dr_willis: scary :D | 15:14 |
| dr_willis | gringochapin: why bother? just dont start up the login manager. :) | 15:14 |
| dr_willis | !text | gringochapin | 15:14 |
| ubottu | gringochapin: 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 | 15:14 |
| gringochapin | The problem is that it's an old computer with a tiny harddrive, and would like to clean all that crap out of there. I would just do a reinstall with the server CD, but I don't have physical access to the machine. Just ssh. | 15:15 |

| jtr__ | dr_willis: thank god u didnt say i am a bot too :P | 15:17 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, its open source so I'd say its relatively safe? but probably won't work unless the password is trivial | 15:17 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, so you would trust anything ending in sourceforge.net? Is this a assumption on your part or based on something more solid? | 15:18 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, a bit of both, projects have to be approved by SourceForge staff to be hosted there | 15:18 |
| hutch | is there a fix for videochat between empathy/pidgin or other and fb/msn users? | 15:19 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, also it comes with full source so if it was dodgy someone would probably have flagged it | 15:19 |
| llutz | Loptr: set BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=0 in /etc/default/bluetooth | 15:19 |
| ryannathans | healern: if it's open sauce and has a few downloads, must be good | 15:19 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, and all ending in "sourceforge.net" requires some level of approval by said staff? | 15:19 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, xxxxx.sourceforge.net is a project site of project xxxxx, which has to be approved to begin with by SF staff | 15:20 |

| M0TRN_th1 | healern, it says there on the site exactly how to do it?! | 15:30 |
| Inkonsiderate | edbian: Thank you. | 15:30 |
| tensorpudding | Inkonsiderate, that page could be out of date, it's 2 years old | 15:30 |
| healern | not in a way that works M0TRN_th1 | 15:30 |
| tensorpudding | you should go through step by step to make sure it works for you | 15:30 |
| conntrack | The net takes the piss | 15:30 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, what bit doesn't work? | 15:30 |
| Inkonsiderate | tensorpudding: It works, I used that page yesterday and it performs flawlessly. | 15:30 |
| tensorpudding | Inkonsiderate, then you can write a script which replicates what the instructions do | 15:30 |
| Inkonsiderate | tensorpudding: precisely, are there instructions on writing such scripts? | 15:31 |
| meowsus | When I add a new ppa repository and there is no designation for oneiric packages within the ppa, when i run "sudo aptitude update" I get 404 errors for the repository.

| M0TRN_th1 | ardithoxha, then use the old version? | 15:32 |
| tensorpudding | because their rpm is crap | 15:33 |

| tensorpudding | i assume that maya only supports red hat or something | 15:36 |
| Inkonsiderate | tensorpudding: I was only concerned with making it a mass-producable/faster process. | 15:36 |
| Inkonsiderate | tensorpudding: They say they do : well Fedora/Red Hat and Ubuntu for their more recent releases. | 15:37 |
| tensorpudding | it's likely your results can't be massproduced | 15:37 |
| Universalrefill | you got any idea M0TRN? | 15:37 |
| Dark_Apostrophe | Hello, is it possible to remove the messaging icon from the system tray in Unity? | 15:37 |

| M0TRN_th1 | use that link and learn how to do basic stuff like ls, cd | 15:45 |

| fellayaboy | remember thise files have other words in them .. like dr_martin king YouTube.mp3 | 15:46 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, when it says "cd rarcrack-VERSION", it wants me to put terminal in the folder that is created when extracting, right? | 15:46 |
| healern | I mean point it to | 15:46 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, yeah | 15:46 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, so you type "cd WHATEVER" | 15:47 |
| M0TRN_th1 | and then you type make | 15:47 |
| M0TRN_th1 | and then you should have a binary called rarcrack | 15:47 |
| auronandace | MeanEYE: i know it doesn't help you but i'm using xubuntu myself and my nvidia card works fine (but i prefer not to use compiz) | 15:47 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: works here(tm) | 15:48 |

| M0TRN_th1 | MeanEYE, jsut install SlackWare 1.5 ;) | 15:50 |

| auronandace | MeanEYE: oh, i don't use unity, never will (or gnome 3) | 15:50 |
| MeanEYE | auronandace: Yup... and that's how they look power users... but alas, this is off topic | 15:50 |

| MeanEYE | healern: Well, Unity is just so broken that it's not funny anymore. I kept talking to people how Linux became great and then I get so many problems and I get embarrased. | 15:52 |
| fellayaboy | llutz my extensions were capped ..didnt see that.. whats the argument/command to make it ignore capitals... say rename 's/YouTube//' *.mp3 <--ignore caps on youtube and mp3 | 15:52 |
| nailox | can anyone help me with apache2 config ? | 15:52 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, anyway those are just warnings | 15:52 |
| M0TRN_th1 | it should have still put a binary there | 15:52 |
| M0TRN_th1 | try typing ./rarcrack | 15:52 |
| healern | MeanEYE, Well it helps to know what is going on with unity for myself and my own decisions | 15:52 |
| tensorpudding | take the UX discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:52 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: you have to use a perl-regex, rename has no "--ignore-case" switch | 15:52 |
| nailox | can anyone help me with apache2 config ? i need to enable allowOverrideAll | 15:52 |
| fellayaboy | hmmm | 15:52 |
| fellayaboy | ok | 15:52 |
| M0TRN_th1 | nailox, it's in 2 words | 15:52 |
| M0TRN_th1 | nailbox and you can put it in .htaccess in the directory you want to affect | 15:53 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, "RarCrack! 0.2 by David Zoltan Kedves (kedazo@gmail.com)", does that mean its installed? | 15:53 |
| fellayaboy | llutz one more thing.. how can i tell it to backspace to the next letter in the file...say martin luther king .mp3 move it to martin lurther king.mp3 but for all files not just one | 15:53 |
| M0TRN_th1 | that's often better than changing the global configuration | 15:53 |
| MeanEYE | healern: Well first of all, stupid decision to draw maximum of 3 window indicators. Windows sometimes don't show when you start application. Launcher is way too sensitive, I often click on menu instead of clicking back in chrome... | 15:53 |
| MeanEYE | healern: Should I continue? | 15:53 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern it means it's compiled | 15:53 |
| M0TRN_th1 | you can run it from there | 15:54 |
| M0TRN_th1 | or install it with "sudo make install" | 15:54 |
| healern | MeanEYE, What are window indicators? | 15:54 |
| M0TRN_th1 | MeanEYE, we all know that Unity sucks and don't need to be told it again | 15:54 |
| === zz_M4rc3l is now known as M4rc3l | ||
| MeanEYE | healern: Little "arrows" on the left in launcher. If you have more than 3 windows open, launcher just shows 3 ... So I tend to loose windows because I don't really know how many there are. | 15:55 |
| tensorpudding | MeanEYE, healern, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:55 |
| MeanEYE | M0TRN_th1: Glad someone is agreeing with me. I thought am the only one. People keep talking like it's great. | 15:55 |
| MeanEYE | tensorpudding: Am checking if it's possible to fix those... So it's not offtopic. This is ubuntu related directly. | 15:55 |
| sipior | MeanEYE: whinging and moaning is always off-topic. | 15:56 |
| robinsch | I got frustated with new version of ubuntu and had to switch to windows 7 | 15:56 |
| tensorpudding | it's not visually possible to have enough arrows on the launcher for every number of windows | 15:56 |
| tensorpudding | it probably isn't configurable | 15:56 |
| M0TRN_th1 | MeanEYE, you can install some other desktop manager e.g. kde or xfce | 15:57 |
| robinsch | now I am frustated with windows 7 and don't know what to switch to | 15:57 |
| M0TRN_th1 | I think KDE was ok | 15:57 |
| MeanEYE | sipior: Am not whining... I am interested if those things can be fixed... if not, I'll leave this channel and ubuntu all together. | 15:57 |
| tensorpudding | windows not showing up when you start application is a bug, you should file a bug report on it using apport | 15:57 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: try "rename 's/ \./\./' *.mp3" | 15:57 |
| M0TRN_th1 | MeanEYE, you can install KDE and try that instead, with "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 15:57 |
| sipior | MeanEYE: i don't care either way. | 15:57 |
| MeanEYE | M0TRN_th1: I'll probably go with Xfce... Thanks. | 15:57 |
| fellayaboy | ok llutz brb | 15:57 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, did you get that rarcrack to work | 15:58 |
| Sidewinder1 | He's probably off cracking rars. | 15:59 |
| healern | no | 15:59 |
| fellayaboy | llutz it worked i believe i had to use it more than once....each time it just backspaced once i believe | 15:59 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, well it compiled | 15:59 |
| M0TRN_th1 | so now you need to run it according to the instructions on that page | 16:00 |
| fellayaboy | is that how that command works..one at a time? | 16:00 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: yes, it only removes 1 space in front of a dot at a time | 16:00 |
| fellayaboy | llutz thanks | 16:00 |
| acuarium | Hi All!! | 16:01 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, when it said I need to be in root, to type "make install", does it mean \? Do I type CD to change to root then type "make install"? | 16:01 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, KDE works fairly well.. in fact much better than last time I tried it.. it's just a bit slow but nothing I can't live with | 16:01 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, it means you have to type sudo in front, like I told you: "sudo make install" | 16:01 |
| acuarium | I am installing last ubuntu on a fakeraid 0, where should I install grub to be in the mbr? | 16:01 |
| fellayaboy | llutz no other easy way to just automatically determine the space and backspace or does that require some bashful scripting | 16:01 |
| acuarium | The installer suggests /dev/mapper | 16:01 |
| JunK-Y | how can i choose which kernel i wanna boot in? I wanna go in grub. | 16:01 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: happy to hear that :) | 16:02 |
| Jordan_U | acuarium: That sounds right. | 16:02 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: just a guess: rename 's/[ ]+\./\./' *.mp3 | 16:02 |
| fellayaboy | ok brb llutz | 16:02 |
| acuarium | Jordan_U: it failed :( | 16:02 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, It just gave me the same message as that other command gave me | 16:02 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, it doesn't matter try typing rarcrack | 16:03 |
| acuarium | Jordan_U: "/dev/mapper is not a block device" | 16:03 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: i began on gnome on ubuntu 8.10, been a long time since, and i changed to KDE only 3 months ago, so practically, i never got to seethe buggy KDE, only came to know about it from fellow users :) | 16:04 |
| Jordan_U | acuarium: I thought you meant it was /dev/mapper/something_else_here . | 16:04 |
| Jordan_U | acuarium: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? | 16:04 |
| fellayaboy | llutz worked perfectly | 16:04 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, I used KDE back in 2000 and those days, but then I used gnome for 5 years or more | 16:04 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: but you should consider the fact that Xfce is the new thing to be ported with the coming ubuntu versions as the default desktop env - so i've heard | 16:04 |
| fellayaboy | so what does {} + mean i know i use it when i use find at the end of an -exec | 16:05 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: omg, that dates back ! | 16:05 |
| urlin2u | JunK-Y, you can choose fromthe grub menu if it is installed kernels you refrence tap shift to see it at starting up if not. | 16:05 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, well xfce seems like a slimmed down version of gnome | 16:05 |
| acuarium | Jordan_U: I am in a different PC (I am on the installer, no internet access yet) | 16:05 |
| M0TRN_th1 | but if ubuntu makes xfce the default at least it's a step up from unity | 16:05 |
| JunK-Y | urlin2u: it looks like shift is ignored, cause im not able to go into grub at all | 16:06 |
| acuarium | Jordan_U: how it should looks like? | 16:06 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: ya, and linus did not hate the new look of gnome3 , but hated the fact that the difference b/w gnome2 and gnome3 was so immense, that their users were astounded | 16:06 |
| urlin2u | JunK-Y, what is the release your running? | 16:06 |
| JunK-Y | 10.04.3 | 16:06 |
| urlin2u | JunK-Y, try esc | 16:06 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, the best thing I can think of about Unity, is that now we've hit rock bottom so it can only get better :D | 16:06 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: true :) | 16:07 |
| JapyDooge | 17:06 <jtr__> M0TRN_th1: ya, and linus did not hate the new look of gnome3 , but hated the fact that the difference b/w gnome2 and gnome3 was so immense, that their users were astounded << agreed, it should have been an seperate project | 16:07 |
| JunK-Y | urlin2u: let me try that | 16:07 |
| sipior | jtr__: M0TRN_th1: this was off-topic an hour ago, and is still off-topic. Feel free to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic. | 16:07 |
| jtr__ | JapyDooge: actually , the gnome3 team parted ways with canonical long time ago ( atleast a few months ago) | 16:07 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, ok if it is installed, I don't know how to use it, and it seems like it is not made for .exe self executing archives as well | 16:08 |
| Jordan_U | acuarium: Something like "/dev/mapper/isw_deebyaid_RaidMatrix_Linux" is what you want to install grub's boot sector to. blkid should give you a device like "/dev/mapper/isw_deebyaid_RaidMatrix_Linuxp1" as a partition containing an ext4 filesystem. Remove the "p1" from the end to get the drive rather than the partition and that is where grub should be installed. | 16:08 |
| JapyDooge | jtr__: yea, but imo it was a mistake to call it gnome 3 | 16:08 |
| Poundo | I added a rule to my iptables how do I restart it? | 16:08 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern you just type what it said on that souorceforge page | 16:08 |
| acuarium | Jordan_U: got it, I will try | 16:08 |
| M0TRN_th1 | just type rarcrack whatever-file.rar | 16:08 |
| M0TRN_th1 | and watch it waste CPU cycles for a couple years | 16:08 |
| andyvy | anyone using Logitech G700 in 11.10? | 16:09 |
| Dea | Ciao | 16:09 |
| jtr__ | JapyDooge: true | 16:09 |
| JapyDooge | jtr__: maybe they should have forked | 16:09 |
| M0TRN_th1 | and healern .. if it's a self extracting exe chances are it's not a RAR to begin with | 16:09 |
| JapyDooge | i liked gnome 2.x | 16:09 |
| JapyDooge | now i'm using fluxbox :D | 16:09 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, most of that kind of files don't contain the pr0n they purport to but just a trojan to infect your (windows) pc and a lot of random bytes and a fake "password prompt" program that just installs all sorts of virusses and trojans | 16:10 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: u should try the "plasmacon" widget | 16:10 |
| jtr__ | JapyDooge: i'll lookup fluxbox :) | 16:10 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, I'll try it on my other PC with accelerated graphics | 16:10 |
| ChristW | Anyone experience with Parallels (on OS-X) running Ubuntu? I'm having problems copying files form the virtual machine to the 'Shared Folders' ..folder. | 16:10 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, it is suppose to be a anime, it says AVI when I open it, I just don't have the password to extract. | 16:10 |
| acuarium | Jordan_U: it didn't fail! Thanks! I hope it boots now | 16:10 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: its just a widget that allows u to have terminal window ( no tab support though) | 16:11 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, same goes for that. if it is EXE and asks for a password chances are that it will just be a trojan/malware installer | 16:11 |
| acuarium | Jordan_U: it worked!! Many thanks!! | 16:12 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1 Why would it bother with a password if it was just meant to infect anyway? And I have downloaded other animes this way that were just fine, and anyway this is linux, a .exe will have a hell of a time infecting linux, no? | 16:12 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: with find "{}" represents the found filename, the rename ... "[ ]+" represents "one or more spaces". so it is very different | 16:13 |
| andyvy | is there a logitech SetPoint fork for linux to configure mice? or anything remotely close to it.. | 16:13 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, it will ask for the password to trick you into thinking that it is what it says it is. but really no password will work and it will just re-instsall the malware everytime you run it.. | 16:13 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, of course it could be that there is a real anime inside as well but it's hard to know if there is or not since it's impossible to distinguish random bytes from encrypted data | 16:14 |
| healern | A exe can't install maleware on linux though, right? | 16:14 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, only if you run it under wine | 16:14 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: rename uses regular expressions, which are mighty but very hard to learn. look here http://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html for some info | 16:14 |
| healern | Well Id like to try to bash at it | 16:14 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern then type rarcrack FILENAME | 16:14 |
| M0TRN_th1 | maybe it will work and maybe it won't | 16:14 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, can a infection in wine, escape the confines of wine? | 16:14 |
| === max is now known as Visionaire | ||
| fellayaboy | llutz ooh ok ok | 16:15 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, yeah it can | 16:15 |
| M0TRN_th1 | but it is not super likely | 16:15 |
| fellayaboy | when i looked that the man page i didnt see nothing that says that..well at least for find i didnt llutz | 16:15 |
| austeregrim | healern also if you remove wine it wont be able to continue | 16:15 |
| urlin2u | healern, rootkits will run in any platform if you have a funky p2p your stupid to continue. | 16:15 |
| JunK-Y | urlin2u: esc doesnt work neither. i always see ubuntu with the 3 red dots. | 16:15 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, install Windows inside a virtual machine (VirtualBox) and then run that crap in there instead | 16:15 |
| fellayaboy | thanks llutz | 16:16 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: "man rename" | 16:16 |
| M0TRN_th1 | then if it infects it you can just delete the virtual machine or restore from a snapshot you took before you ran it.. | 16:16 |
| healern | austeregrim, .exe would extract, even before wine, which I just installed today in a effort to find some program to bash at this. | 16:16 |
| fellayaboy | llutz | 16:16 |
| fellayaboy | ok | 16:16 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: but find also can use regexp. have fun to learn, long dark winter evenings are coming ... | 16:16 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, just buy the anime or download it from usenet? | 16:16 |
| fellayaboy | llutz lol | 16:17 |
| urlin2u | JunK-Y, have you changed the grub timeout? | 16:17 |
| fellayaboy | hmm regexp regular expression...first time i heard the term ..i only see it from the link u gave me and the google search i made when u told me to look at perl regexp | 16:17 |
| jtr__ | how do we add/remove programs to/from a startup script? where is the startup script located? | 16:18 |
| JunK-Y | urlin2u: no, since im not even able to boot | 16:18 |
| urlin2u | JunK-Y, so you don't boot to the OS at all? | 16:18 |
| fellayaboy | llutz yeah find has a bunch of mumble jumble find -type f -name "whatever" (/. /; blah balhb alh idk | 16:19 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, well some of the episodes of some animes are hell to find, especially the better quality ones, link to that which you call usernet pleasE? | 16:19 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, it's called *usenet* and I'm not about to explain it to you, you'll have to research it for yourself | 16:19 |
| JunK-Y | urlin2u: nope, im trying to go in grub to be able to boot in single mode or to boot with a different kernel | 16:19 |
| d33ck | please help me setting up a virtual interface in ubuntu desktop 11.10 | 16:19 |
| fellayaboy | regular expressions are what exactly to edit text | 16:19 |
| jtr__ | healern: usenet is a torrent finder site | 16:19 |

| d33ck | i cant seem to assign ip addres for eth0:1 | 16:19 |
| hellothisismynam | anyone knows the way to fix heating-up problem in Ubuntu 11.04 , plz help | 16:19 |

| milen8204 | Any one familiar whit the program docky ?? | 16:20 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression | 16:20 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, does it mention "torrent finder site" in there? if you think Usenet is a torrent finder site, or even pirate site, or even a site, think again | 16:20 |
| fellayaboy | llutz nevermind i found it on that site | 16:20 |
| urlin2u | JunK-Y, so what is it you want a bootable OS I assume? | 16:21 |
| fellayaboy | llutz thanks | 16:21 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: i confused it with usenext, my bad | 16:21 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | Hello! | 16:21 |
| urlin2u | milen8204, pretty much whats up. | 16:21 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | Isn't the chat on #ubuntu-jp recorded now? | 16:21 |
| JunK-Y | urlin2u: ya, it was booting fine until i did an apt-get upgrade :( | 16:21 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: turns out usenext is also something different | 16:21 |
| healern | urlin2u, So if you have already have installed wine, and run a .exe that may or may not be suspicious, how do you confirm whether any damage has been done? And if so, mitigate said damage? | 16:22 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, usenet existed hundreds of years before even torrents were thought of | 16:22 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: ok, i'll look it up | 16:22 |
| urlin2u | JunK-Y, are you dual booting and is the ubuntu a wubi? | 16:22 |
| JunK-Y | no dual boot, no wubi, regular stand-alone install | 16:22 |
| urlin2u | healern, never ran wine I wold not know. | 16:23 |
| urlin2u | would* | 16:23 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, So if you have already have installed wine, and run a .exe that may or may not be suspicious, how do you confirm whether any damage has been done? And if so, mitigate said damage? | 16:24 |
| urlin2u | JunK-Y, boot a live cd and run this script and pastebin the whole results.txt this wil lshow more info that should get us to an answer. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 16:24 |
| Jordan_U | acuarium: You're welcome :) | 16:24 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, that's a nearly impossible task, which is why you should never do that in the first place | 16:25 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, of course a start would be to remove your entire .wine directory but it's no guarantee as wine programs can access the entire file system (with your user account) | 16:25 |
| jfroebe | Does anyone know of a mp3 player/organizer that will copy specified mp3 files to a usb thumbdrive without too much hassle? Currently, I'm copying the files through Nautilus then I run 'fatsort' to sort the fat tables. | 16:26 |
| urlin2u | healern, there are various av scanners for linux but if you have not ran your user password your probably safe, that is the key here root access generally. | 16:26 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: can u tell me a software that uses usenet ? | 16:26 |
| jfroebe | the thumbdrive is for playing in the car | 16:26 |
| healern | austeregrim, if I remove wine, would that stop it, then if I were to reinstall wine, would any infection within still be gone? Or could some residue sit around waiting for wine to come back? | 16:26 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, hellanzb? | 16:26 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: i mean through which i can get connected to the 'usenet' | 16:26 |
| milen8204 | urlin2u, did you try to work whit it on new gnome-shell | 16:26 |
| JunK-Y | when im trying to boot the 11.04 ubuntu install cd, im getting unable to find a medium containing a live file system. theres no problem with a regular sata drive, but not with the SSD drive, any ideas why& | 16:27 |
| llutz | jtr__: slrn, knode and much more | 16:27 |
| urlin2u | milen8204, what I have posted no questions? | 16:27 |
| jtr__ | llutz: for kde? | 16:27 |
| jtr__ | llutz: knode? | 16:27 |
| healern | urlin2u, Well finding a AV for linux seems a harder task then finding a PW cracker for it | 16:27 |
| llutz | jtr__: its a kde/qt app | 16:27 |
| jtr__ | llutz: u talking about knode right ? | 16:28 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, you need access to a usenet server, sometimes your ISP will provide one but if you want access to the binary groups you most likely need a paid one | 16:28 |
| milen8204 | urlin2u, I said Any one familiar whit the program docky ?? you said milen8204, pretty much whats up. then I asked urlin2u, did you try to work whit it on new gnome-shell | 16:28 |
| healern | urlin2u, All sorts of ones I have tried have had issues of one kind or another, and the one I did find that works has now expired | 16:28 |
| urlin2u | healern, if you have to crack the password and you can't confirm its legitimacy your acting stupid. | 16:28 |
| llutz | jtr__: or is it merged ito kmail now? idk. there are plenty nntp-clients | 16:28 |

| urlin2u | milen8204, sorry lol no I doubt the gnome shell is the place for it the bottom, top, right and left parts of the screen are already moving. | 16:29 |
| happy | plz help me to configure putty n firefox as to open facebook | 16:30 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: llutz: nntp clients , is that what you call them? | 16:30 |
| happy | facebook is blocked here | 16:30 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, yes but if you want to download binary files look into nzb | 16:30 |
| urlin2u | milen8204, the top is stationary but the screen changes to access stuff in gnome 3. | 16:30 |
| llutz | jtr__: if we talk about usenet and not things like useneXt, yes | 16:30 |
| jtr__ | llutz: ok | 16:30 |
| happy | ?? | 16:31 |
| pO_omf | Bonjour | 16:31 |
| happy | ney idea guys? | 16:31 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: apt-get nzb ? | 16:31 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, no google it | 16:31 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: ok | 16:31 |
| milen8204 | urlin2u, I cant active intelligent hide expanded effect and more options in gnome 3 | 16:31 |
| M0TRN_th1 | the software I use for downloading it is called hellanzb but it's not very intuitive if you're a beginner | 16:31 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, hellanzb is in ubuntu so you can apt-get install that | 16:32 |
| M0TRN_th1 | but you still need a server and a place to get nzb files, google for that | 16:32 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: ok, i'll do that i don't know how i will tackle the 'not-very-intuitive' part though | 16:33 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=169749 | 16:34 |
| urlin2u | milen8204, not sure what you mean I would look on the web, gnome 3 can be tweaked but you would have to go into the controlling files it is not a click and fix sort of situation as far as I know, your not being real specific here as well. | 16:34 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: i just did an apt-get install | 16:35 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: do i still need to do that / | 16:35 |
| healern | urlin2u, the point is that I can't travel back in time, so if you might help me with my current situation rather then criticize me for what I should have done differently, that would be appreciated | 16:35 |
| jtr__ | M? | 16:35 |

| fellayaboy | llutz was 's/youtube//' an awk comand/expression? | 16:35 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, you need to research the rest by yourself | 16:36 |
| llutz | fellayaboy: perl/sed-syntax | 16:36 |
| fellayaboy | i see llutz | 16:36 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: ok | 16:36 |
| M0TRN_th1 | jtr__, don't want to get too close to the channel rule edges | 16:36 |
| urlin2u | milen8204, I don't think it is worth it to be honest. | 16:36 |
| jtr__ | M0TRN_th1: no problemo, i'll query you if i need help on that :), thanks for introducing me to the concept anyway :) | 16:38 |
| urlin2u | healern, I was just staing the obvious don't take it personally, we are not here to fix things you have done by not thinking through what your doing, if you acted without thinking then realize that. | 16:38 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, chances are that you're fine if you just delete the .wine directory | 16:39 |
| M0TRN_th1 | most Windows malware won't be Linux-aware | 16:39 |
| searching | how to make screenshots with Lubuntu? | 16:39 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, if there was said malware, could it hang around waiting for wine to come back? | 16:39 |
| M0TRN_th1 | it would be stored inside .wine | 16:40 |
| M0TRN_th1 | so if you open aterminal and type "rm -rf .wine" it should be gone for good | 16:40 |
| M0TRN_th1 | and then you can use wine without worrying | 16:40 |
| SJCommander | Hello folks, newbie here. I have been a windows user for a while now, and I´ve been feeling the Ubuntu itch again. I want to install it as dualboot again, but I hate how GRUB replaces my windows MBR. Is it possible to install ubuntu, then re-install the WinMBR? | 16:41 |
| M0TRN_th1 | SJCommander, if you do that you won't be able to boot Ubuntu | 16:42 |
| SJCommander | Shit. I suspected as much. | 16:42 |
| === deem is now known as Bello | ||
| healern | M0TRN_th1, But there is a theoretical possibility of a infection coming from wine to general linux, even if I didn't use sudo? | 16:42 |
| llutz | SJCommander: just let ubuntu write grub into partition, not mbr | 16:42 |
| Gnea | SJCommander: that's silly, grub is superior to ntloadr. | 16:42 |
| Gnea | SJCommander: if you wanted to have ntloadr do it, then don't install ubuntu to a real partition | 16:43 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, theoretical but it's small | 16:43 |
| M0TRN_th1 | I wouldn't worry about it unless you work for NSA or something | 16:43 |
| SJCommander | Gnea: Depends on who you´re asking, haha. I know Windows guys that would stand by ntloadr forever :-P | 16:43 |
| Gnea | healern: linux itself wouldn't become infected, it would just pass the virus off to any other connected wintendo systems | 16:43 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, Does that same small risk exist with my browser, a infection spreading from a random bad webpage to linux itself? | 16:43 |
| Gnea | SJCommander: yes, well, when all they care about is money... ;) | 16:43 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, yes | 16:44 |
| healern | or even just limited to the browser | 16:44 |
| healern | That is something different then I was told before, ok | 16:44 |
| SJCommander | So, is the ¨install GRUB to partition¨ available during the install? I cant recall seeing it before. | 16:44 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, again the chances are very small for that to happen when you run linux | 16:44 |
| Gnea | SJCommander: should be, if you choose the advanced route | 16:44 |
| healern | Gnea, but if I have a dual boot set up, could it cross over? | 16:44 |
| Gnea | healern: how would it? | 16:45 |
| healern | I don't know, that is why I ask | 16:45 |
| urlin2u | healern, don't just believe what you hear including here investigate using a correct inquiry method. | 16:45 |
| M0TRN_th1 | Gnea, by exploiting a vulnerability in the browser | 16:45 |
| Gnea | M0TRN_th1: a vulnerability that will automagically mount all ntfs partitions? | 16:46 |
| healern | urlin2u, I take what I hear with a grain of salt, and I am not sure what "correct inquiry methods" you mean | 16:46 |
| M0TRN_th1 | Gnea, who said anything about ntfs partitions, and that's pretty much beside the point because the malware could be written specifically for Linux and search for mounted file systems and exploits to get root access etc. | 16:46 |
| M0TRN_th1 | Gnea, or simply connect to a botnet and flag itself as an infected linux box at which point the owner could take action | 16:47 |
| urlin2u | healern, if you were a scientist it would be peer reviewed data from research you can use the same methid here. | 16:47 |
| urlin2u | method* | 16:47 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, the bottom line is that any usable system that's connected to any public network and being used to interact with said network (the internet) will always be at some risk of getting compromised | 16:48 |
| Gnea | M0TRN_th1: that's assuming that the ntfs filesystem is mounted in the first place - since when is root access possible from the script? got a url showing a proof of concept code? | 16:48 |
| M0TRN_th1 | nothing you do can prevent that | 16:48 |
| M0TRN_th1 | Gnea, an exploit doesn't have to be public to work | 16:48 |
| M0TRN_th1 | many exploits are only made public when somebody discovers that the baddies are using them | 16:49 |
| Gnea | M0TRN_th1: depending on your definition of 'public' | 16:49 |
| healern | urlin2u, Scientists have mutual understanding of the subject and laboratory environments to test things out, I am a linux newbie and I could muck around with files for a long awhile and not learn much of anything, they are hardly comparable | 16:49 |
| === sentinel is now known as Guest78681 | ||
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, just be aware that whatever OS or software you use to surf the net you are always at some risk of getting hacked | 16:49 |
| healern | And anyway, this chat is as close to "peer review" as I can think to get | 16:50 |
| M0TRN_th1 | but when you use Linux your risk is less than when you use Windows | 16:50 |
| urlin2u | healern, hehe so who is running half the servers on the web and all of them at google the opensuse OS at the large hadron collider? | 16:50 |
| === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB | ||
| conntrack | M0TRN_th1: Why is that? | 16:50 |
| M0TRN_th1 | conntrack, because most malware is windows specific, because there are more windows users by a factor of over 10 | 16:50 |
| conntrack | M0TRN_th1: Why is it that whatever OS or software you use there is always a risk of being hacked? | 16:51 |
| Gnea | healern, M0TRN_th1: if you don't allow a regular user to mount your window filesystem, then you can pretty much guarantee that any ntfs partition is not going to become infected | 16:51 |
| healern | urlin2u, I only half understood that, and the half I did barely helped me understand it as a complete thought | 16:51 |
| === root__ is now known as whiskey24 | ||
| shishire | Most people think of security as an on or off thing. It's much more granular than that. There is a cost associated with securing a system. The more secure you make it, the greater the cost. At some point, the cost of securing it further is more expensive than the damage that could be caused by it getting compromised. There is no magic bullet. | 16:51 |
| M0TRN_th1 | conntrack, because it could have a vulnerability in some of its networking code that is unknown to you and the people responsible for releasing updates, but that some hackers have discovered | 16:51 |
| Sidewinder1 | healern, For further study, you may wish to have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 If you haven't already. It's a little dated but still relevant. | 16:52 |
| === jack is now known as Guest26601 | ||
| conntrack | M0TRN_th1: I'm not sure that is the answer I. But it is expected | 16:52 |
| urlin2u | healern, I'm not surprised hehe just be careful don't mess with stuff that is well known to possibly be a problem like p2p stuff that needs a password to crack it. | 16:53 |

| meco | Can someone invite me to #openbox? | 17:14 |
| fellayaboy | okay | 17:14 |
| M0TRN_th1 | fellayaboy, most people like either vi(m) or emacs, I like emacs and I think it is far better but YMMV | 17:15 |
| mneptok | milk: /etc/motd is auto-generated. start poking around in /etc/update-motd.d/ | 17:15 |
| llutz | AaronDCampbell: "sed -i 's/^\(.*\)$/\"\1\"/' yourfilewithpathes" to quote the filenames should work (not sure) | 17:15 |
| fellayaboy | M8TRN_th1 no holy warring | 17:15 |
| healern | healern, "its not as easy as dropping a few lines of code either, linux has a password system that prevents such from being easy" -> unless you have super-strict custom selinux or so active, that's not true | 17:16 |
| healern | <TheJH> healern, the next time you su/sudo, it can grab your password - *BOOM* | 17:16 |
| healern | Do you guys agree with this? | 17:16 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, it is certainly possible | 17:16 |
| M0TRN_th1 | but then again how likely | 17:17 |
| fellayaboy | M8TRN_th1 im new i know some basic commands in vi like entering insert and command write close and stuff like that. i dont know how deep it goes and im just skimming thru new open land here | 17:17 |
| M0TRN_th1 | do you always wear safety shoes on the odd chance that a truck might drive over your feet? | 17:17 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, well if it is easy, then won't it become pretty likely if linux gains any popularity at all? | 17:17 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, it will become more likely | 17:18 |
| M0TRN_th1 | look at the number of infected windows machines | 17:18 |
| M0TRN_th1 | most Linux users get by just fine without an antivirus installed, try that on windows, after a couple of weeks you're bound to have several infections | 17:18 |
| M0TRN_th1 | but there is a different reason as well, apart from the target base being smalelr on Linux and therefore it is a higher profit market to write malware for: Linux users are generally more clued up technically | 17:19 |
| M0TRN_th1 | that might change if Linux becomes very popular | 17:19 |

| jfroebe | milenchoo - unless you can sudo from guest to root (not possible unless you specifically set it up that way).... no | 17:20 |

| llutz | M0TRN_th1: "Linux users are generally more clued up technically" good joke, ymmd | 17:21 |
| Roasted | nuborn, that's done on the client system you're connecting to then. You can see password settings in the remote desktop settings of tha system. | 17:21 |
| Roasted | nuborn, that will allow your main system to conncet without password, as long as you set those preferences correctly. | 17:21 |
| sipior | d33ck: so, "Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces" | 17:22 |

| fellayaboy | total noob question here..say i wanted to make a stupid .exe program for windows that would just find and delete or rename or whatever using programs like find, rename, shred, wipe, etc is it possible? do most programs in windows use these or do they use a bigger program like perl, c++ | 17:25 |
| nixmaniack | help needed with notifications in gnome 3. -> http://imagebin.org/182992 | 17:25 |
| d33ck | sipior: hold on, letme try | 17:25 |
| urlin2u | phper___, you will find out if you actually ask a question. | 17:26 |
| fellayaboy | i know mostly they use bigger ones like c++ but can they use these bash programs | 17:26 |
| fellayaboy | is their a way to export them and make it run on a .exe | 17:26 |
| urlin2u | phper___, ah I see not supported oh well. | 17:27 |
| fellayaboy | like a bash script that does whatever...i want to convert that to .exe format its possible right | 17:27 |
| phper___ | well, I am wondering if colinux/xming/pulseaudio can crash Windows, or they are just another userspace Window applications. | 17:27 |
| sipior | fellayaboy: if i understand what you're asking correctly, have a look at Cygwin. that's not exactly on-topic here, however. | 17:27 |
| d33ck | sipior: http://pastebin.com/f5v1i5jD just that | 17:27 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, only when it is small, if linux became widely popular then it could have a less educated userbase, rather then more, being more complicated to use then windows | 17:28 |
| Psychobudgie | fellayaboy, google batch files | 17:28 |
| fellayaboy | no no not using cygwin | 17:28 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, that's what I said | 17:28 |
| fellayaboy | ok Psychobudgie | 17:28 |
| sipior | d33ck: okay, and does the interface now show as running in "ifconfig -a"? | 17:28 |
| CobraKhan007 | the good old .bat files... | 17:28 |
| CobraKhan007 | or nowdays the .cmd files | 17:29 |
| d33ck | sipior : http://pastebin.com/2jeb5ZWz it is in ifconfig -a now. is it working now. | 17:29 |
| d33ck | ok thanks | 17:29 |
| d33ck | let me try setup the clonezilla server now | 17:29 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, So how can I shore up linuxs main line of defense, its PW system? | 17:30 |
| sipior | d33ck: yep, have fun | 17:30 |

| fellayaboy | Psychobudgie, thanks that about sums it up | 17:30 |
| phper___ | oh, boy, I think I will stop using portable Ubuntu. | 17:31 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, it's uid/gid system prevents one user from using the privileges of another, it doesn't do anything to stop malware from using *your* user account to do bad stuff from | 17:31 |
| M0TRN_th1 | there are several layers of security | 17:31 |
| Najbolji | hi! question i'm not proud of it, but how can i upgrade just one specific package on Ubuntu server? I have 8.10 which came with not very good version of parted and now i just need to upgrade parted from 1.71 to newer one which will work on that server... any help is apreciated | 17:31 |
| M0TRN_th1 | if you actually download a program and run it you have basically given it access to your user account. | 17:31 |
| M0TRN_th1 | but other ways for code to run as your user id is to exploit bugs in web browsers or other software that interacts with untrusted 3rd party sites | 17:32 |
| M0TRN_th1 | then once the bad guys have code running as *your* user ID they can search for privilege escalation exploits to become root without knowing the password | 17:32 |
| M0TRN_th1 | or log *your* user key strokes until you type the root password | 17:33 |
| M0TRN_th1 | once they get root they can modify any part of your system including the kernel | 17:33 |
| healern | wouldn't they need root access to log keystrokes in the first place? | 17:33 |
| M0TRN_th1 | so then they can install backdoors and malware that is almost impossible to detect and remove | 17:33 |
| milen8204 | !notunity | 17:33 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 17:33 |
| wildc4rd | Good evening all | 17:34 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, not to log *your* keystrokes, they can change your environment to run "wrapper" applications instead of the real ones that will log the keystrokes at the user level | 17:34 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, won't it need password access to change my environment and run any application I did not approve? | 17:35 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, if you run it in the first place it has full access to your account | 17:35 |
| M0TRN_th1 | it can do anything you can do without typing a password | 17:35 |
| FlashDeluxe | hi i installed the current kubuntu on my notebook and i got second screen plugged in. Now if i drag a program, e.g. dolphin to the second screen the program is in the background?! Does anybody got a suggestion on it? | 17:36 |
| M0TRN_th1 | like change your desktop background or install a script that runs every time you log in | 17:36 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, this is near a direct contradiction from what I have been told by others. From what my understanding is that password system is to prevent anything from installing without permission, and almost nothing to do with multiple users | 17:36 |
| M0TRN_th1 | it can install to your own account | 17:36 |
| M0TRN_th1 | a program you run under your account will have your user id and group id, and it can access anything that your user account can access | 17:37 |
| M0TRN_th1 | that is, read most of the files on the system and write all the ones in your home directory and below | 17:37 |
| milen8204 | !notunity | 17:37 |
| michel | hi everyone | 17:37 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, or make an outgoing tcp connection to a botnet and accept commands from a remote hacker | 17:38 |
| M0TRN_th1 | which will be run as if you had typed them in a terminal | 17:38 |
| bobbytek | How can I make 11 look like 10? | 17:38 |
| urlin2u | M0TRN_th1, wcan you all take this topic to #ubuntu -offtopic | 17:38 |
| bobbytek | I can't create launchers | 17:38 |
| bobbytek | Or adjust the themes :( | 17:38 |
| bobbytek | Can't move max / min buttons to right :( | 17:38 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, if i typed it into a terminal, I would need to clear it with sudo and a password. | 17:38 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, if you want to continue it's in #ubuntu-offtopic per urlin2u | 17:39 |
| healern | M0TRN_th1, So is there a way I can get confirmation of what your telling me here? And if it is right, how do I fix this? | 17:39 |
| healern | I am directly asking about ubuntu, offtopics is for stuff that has nothing to do with ubuntu | 17:39 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, there are lots and lots of commands you can execute without root privileges. but for more details let's go to #ubuntu-offtopic ok? | 17:40 |
| urlin2u | healern, it is a quieter channel you will actually get stuff done faster.:D | 17:40 |
| healern | Why there? That would be the wrong channel, and I want other people to hear the conversation so that if there is disagreement or agreement with what i am told, I might hear that too | 17:41 |
| bobbytek | Any links I can read about making 11 look like 10? | 17:41 |
| lilzad | hi | 17:41 |
| lilzad | does any1 no how to fix dual boot for windows 7 | 17:41 |
| genii-around | healern: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better channel to discuss ubuntu related issues which are not an immediate support issue | 17:41 |
| lilzad | i keep gettin error oxc0000225 | 17:42 |
| healern | I was told, one of the mechanisms for making sure you get told something correct or not is the feedback of others in the channel. While that isn't exactly a assurance, every bit helps | 17:42 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, there are almost as many people in there :) | 17:42 |
| osse | Hi guys! I'm using 11.10. I just added my Google account via the "me menu" and specified to use this for among other things chatting. But it wasn't automatically added to Empathy. Is that as expected? | 17:42 |
| healern | People talking about random shit, rather then ubuntu, people not interested in thinking about ubuntu | 17:42 |
| Myrtti | osse: pretty much... sadly | 17:42 |
| Myrtti | healern: mind your attitude and language, please | 17:42 |
| === SpitfireWP_ is now known as SpitfireWP | ||
| healern | Myrtti, I didn't see any problem with either, so please be more specific | 17:43 |
| sipior | healern: this is a help channel. going on and on pointlessly to assuage your security jitters is not fair to the other users of this channel. quit hogging the conversation, in other words. | 17:43 |
| M0TRN_th1 | healern, like I said I'll be happy to answer your questions in there but please be polite to the channel ops | 17:44 |

| Sidewinder1 | Guess he's reading, now. :-) | 17:46 |
| healern | Sidewinder1, your link seems to contradict M0TRN_th1 | 17:46 |

So is there a way I can achieve this using No-IP service? | 17:54 | |

| ViaNocturna85 | bobbytek, what do you mean themes? | 17:58 |
| bobbytek | ViaNocturna85, in the Appearance menu | 17:59 |
| bobbytek | You can select a theme, but not modify it | 17:59 |
| trism | somasin: another option is to set the lightdm service to manually start: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/lightdm.override; you can start it later with: sudo start lightdm; | 17:59 |
| bobbytek | I am interested in moving the close maximize, minimize buttons to the right | 17:59 |
| bobbytek | Is that possible? | 17:59 |

| urlin2u | loop-, lol needs more meds. | 18:11 |
| loop- | dont mind if i do | 18:11 |
| B0g4r7_ | wh1zz0, and your internal IP address shown by ifconfig, that is a different address? | 18:12 |
| wh1zz0 | llutz: No the inet I see when I go ifconig is 192.168.1.1 while the one I see when I visit whatismyipaddress.com is the one B0g4r7_ pasted above | 18:12 |
| B0g4r7_ | wh1zz0, OK, you are indeed behind a NAT router then. | 18:12 |
| wh1zz0 | B0g4r7_: Yeah the inet is 192.168.1.2 | 18:12 |
| llutz | wh1zz0: as i told you some day ago, you need to ask your ISP to do portforwarding for you (which he surely not will do) or change your ISP | 18:13 |
| g0rs | wh1zz0: setup a dmz host | 18:13 |
| B0g4r7_ | wh1zz0, Unless you have the password to the router, you will not be able to receive inbound connections from the outside. | 18:13 |
| loop- | B0g4r7_ log into his router and forward his port for him lol | 18:13 |
| B0g4r7_ | heh | 18:13 |
| g0rs | wh1zz0: setting a dmz post would put your machine in the WAN. | 18:13 |
| B0g4r7_ | DMZ is overkill. He just needs one port forwarded. | 18:14 |
| wh1zz0 | g0rs: Hmmm | 18:14 |
| llutz | B0g4r7_: his ISP does NAT, so no chance of portforwarding | 18:14 |

| wh1zz0 | Private LAN but not dedicated | 18:15 |
| anuj | ubottu, thanks | 18:15 |
| B0g4r7_ | wh1zz0, so your options are rather limited. You might look at "Hamachi" VPN software, which can work around your limitations, but that means that anyone who wants to connect to your server will also need to be running Hamachi. | 18:15 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 18:15 |
| g0rs | wh1zz0: do you have acess to your LAN's router? | 18:15 |
| urlin2u | lol banned by the bot | 18:16 |
| wh1zz0 | B0g4r7_: Ahhhh the hamachi stuff would be sad.. :( ... g0rs: No I do not, when I try to access my router, I get a msg saying it's not enabled on this system.. meaning I cont have access | 18:16 |
| wh1zz0 | Any other option? How about the DMZ option? | 18:17 |
| g0rs | wh1zz0: can you type something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 , this is the ip of your router ( gateway) | 18:17 |
| B0g4r7_ | wh1zz0, DMZ also requires admin access to your router. | 18:17 |
| dim_qv | all Hello! Can someone help me? | 18:17 |
| wh1zz0 | g0rs: Yeah.. I know that's the gateway.. and it doesnt allow me .... B0g4r7_: hummm... I see.. :( | 18:18 |
| g0rs | if you dont have access your router, your options are very limited . | 18:18 |

| urlin2u | milen8204, you don't really want to remove unity, it is actually a plugin in compiz it is rather small, and messing with removing it really isn't in your best interests, unless your like really OCD. | 18:21 |
| dim_qv | !all | 18:21 |
| llutz | dim_qv: this channel is useless too, you are offtopic | 18:21 |
| g0rs | dim_qv: there is usb disk creator , im not sure if you'd find it in fedora | 18:22 |
| wh1zz0 | llutz: Yeah.. I guess changing my ISP would be the next option cuz apart from the fact that I hate paying for something which I can get for free, I love monitoring and administering my stuffs, you know, that kinda thing | 18:22 |
| fellayaboy | anyway of making alt not popup menus in terminal | 18:22 |
| dim_qv | llutz: yes, I _know_ that. But someone might still be helpful if he knows something about this issue. | 18:22 |
| g0rs | wh1zz0: if you haev your own isp, then they might have setup a modem with router for you | 18:22 |
| urlin2u | dim_qv, you can make a bootable usb by partitoning with ntfs having a bootflag and extracting the ISO to the USB in ubuntu fedora probably s no different. | 18:23 |
| zetui | hi | 18:23 |
| B0g4r7_ | dim_qv, booting Windows from anything other than a normal hard drive or SSD is not likely to work well at all IMO. | 18:23 |

| B0g4r7_ | Such as... | 18:26 |
| milen8204 | urlin2u, I am whit 11.10 | 18:26 |
| zetui | what is SMBUS ? | 18:27 |
| urlin2u | milen8204, you can turn it back on though I think in the 2d unity or the classic natty and beyond means later releases. | 18:27 |

| strange | is there a way to keep NetworkManager from touching my resolv.conf everytime my wifi reconnects it changes my dns | 18:30 |
| tomodachi | strange: you can set your nameserver settings in network/manager instead | 18:30 |
| strange | where is this network manager located | 18:31 |
| phunyguy_work | wow.... | 18:31 |

| javier_ | for my internet problem with wireless, maybe I can find privative drivers? In the application it doesn't find anything, is there any other way to manually search for it? | 18:33 |
| zetui | what i have to do ? | 18:33 |
| g0rs | hurrican electric does something with ipv6 | 18:33 |
| B0g4r7_ | zetui, in that case, I would not worry. There are many, many things that are going to show up in the logs that are not necessarily an indication of a problem that needs to be addresses. | 18:33 |
| B0g4r7_ | addressed | 18:34 |

| jason00_ | llutz: yes, I know. you said that, but the same question I just asked still applies. | 19:19 |
| llutz | jason00_: just make sure the script logs out the user when exiting | 19:19 |
| jason00_ | llutz: oh. okay | 19:20 |
| jason00_ | gotcha :) | 19:20 |
| llutz | jason00_: he cannot login | 19:20 |
| llutz | jason00_: but i don't know how that will be handled by gdm/lightdm(any dm). | 19:21 |
| jason00_ | llutz: the only thing is that script must run as root. is this possible to do without having that user need to authenticate? | 19:22 |
| llutz | jason00_: hopefully not :) | 19:22 |
| jason00_ | llutz: how would it matter if its ldm or gdm? If it logs the user out, it logs the user out. Right? | 19:22 |
| llutz | jason00_: DMs do much more than loging a user in/out, different from "login" (the program) | 19:23 |
| jason00_ | llutz: I'm still not entirely following how that's relevant. If the script is tied to run at login, followed by logging the user out at the end of the script, what's it matter? | 19:23 |
| llutz | jason00_: i never have done that. try it and look if it works as you need | 19:24 |

| ResQue_ | Liram: thanks i will check it out | 20:21 |
| Spartakus | ResQue_, it is quite similar with Age of Empire, but, it is still in Alpha, so it is not a complete game yet | 20:21 |

| causative | I want the launcher to show all the time | 20:50 |
| kratos | can i install windows on the /home diskspace of linux | 20:50 |
| ganimede | thoidingjam, it is possible but beyond human reach | 20:50 |
| kratos | ? | 20:50 |
| DasEi | thoidingjam: either the above trml, or a tty out of x is most common for those commands given above | 20:51 |
| causative | it's a pain in the neck to have to first move the cursor to the left, then look for the icon I want, instead of finding the icon first and going to it | 20:51 |
| DasEi | !vm | kratos | 20:51 |
| auronandace | kratos: short answer :no | 20:51 |
| ubottu | kratos: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 20:51 |
| mrbean | kratos no. linux uses a filesystem (ext3) and windows needs its own (ntfs) | 20:51 |
| prezes | nick list on right side - how to? | 20:51 |
| auronandace | kratos: you can mount windows (ntfs/fat32) partitions or install a vm | 20:51 |

| kratos | i guess some didnt understand my question, i think i asked it in the wrong way. my question is i want to make linux have an NTFS home diskspace and i want to install windows on the same partition, i was thinking that i will be able to see the windows files in linux, insted of giving each OS his bin partition and give them shared home partition (sorry for the long question) | 20:54 |
| tolmun | aohi | 20:55 |
| auronandace | kratos: no, you can't do that, why don't you just have a share partition that both can access | 20:55 |
| AbstractBeliefs | mrbean: that looks to be what i want, but is there one for lucid lynx specifically? | 20:55 |
| thoidingjam | AbstractBeliefs, unknown cmd sh | 20:55 |
| AbstractBeliefs | thoidingjam: see auronandace's message to you above | 20:55 |
| DasEi | prezes: #irssi; I don't know in detail, but irssi.org provides all kind of scripts you can play around with | 20:56 |
| ganimede | kratos, not sure you can, because the FS is very low level in linux (unix in general), it must be a tree-node structure that is not the one of NTFS. besides, there were copyrights issues in compiling a linux with the NTFS as primary partition | 20:56 |
| ganimede | on my side, i have removed windows completely and solved the issue | 20:56 |
| prezes | i know that just have a problem to run that scripts | 20:56 |
| mrbean | AbstractBeliefs sorry I read packages and thought debian. Let me google. | 20:57 |
| kratos | lol will removing windows will not solve mine, my problem is INSTALLING the windows | 20:57 |
| DasEi | kratos: you can do dualboot and have a shared partiton,possible, or an os inan os aka VM | 20:57 |
| AbstractBeliefs | mrbean: im just looking to get package info for gnat, and hopefully grab the .debs for those files, and gnat | 20:58 |
| kratos | so bottom line is if i want to make my home NTFS and install windows there it wont work! | 20:58 |

| andyk | can someone help me with mounting an ext4 filesystem on Ubuntu Server 10.04? | 20:58 |

| ganimede | but i can tell, it was much worst activating the desktop cube, because i have virtually lost X, needed to go by the console several times to back up | 21:02 |
| andyk | no not yet, i used fdisk to create a new partition on /dev/cciss/c0d0 | 21:03 |
| DasEi | kratos: you can have an dual boot and a shared additional partition, either ntfs or ext3 | 21:03 |

| andyk | I would guess so, although I dont quite know what cciss is in this case...this is my first server and I am also fairly new at ubuntu and linux in general | 21:09 |
| mrbean | wuhi well then it seems you need a password to sudo. no way around. | 21:10 |

| andyk | I guess im not sure how to go about setting up my web server on my raid5 ext4 filesystem and any files in general | 21:11 |
| DHowett | I've got this pretty funny issue.. the text-based installer doesn't offer me a choice of kernel or whether to allow root to log in - UNLESS i explicitly fail a step of the install (like, hitting "install base system" with a base system just installed and telling it not to voerwrite it) | 21:11 |
| ikonia | andyk: raid disks are just the same as non-raid disks from the OS point of view, | 21:11 |
| ikonia | andyk: just treat it exactly the same | 21:12 |
| DasEi | beat111: you still mess a little there, rather use /mnt as root, and then it is /mbt/boot /mnt/dev no volume needed in there, lil confusing, let me read on | 21:12 |
| auronandace | wuhi: user control form? you should have set a password at install time | 21:12 |
| andyk | but my misconception was when I created my ext4 i thought there would already be directory's such as '/' where I might set things up | 21:13 |
| DasEi | beat111: yep, that's the prob,and your (unencrypted) /boot still isn't mounted | 21:13 |
| beat111 | DasEi: Could you give me a new paste how you would do it? | 21:13 |
| ikonia | andyk: not at all, when you install ubuntu it will create all the file systems for you | 21:13 |
| wuhi | auronandace : well i unset my passwort after installation | 21:13 |
| auronandace | wuhi: why? | 21:13 |
| andyk | do i just create my own directorys and folders? and then leave apache running on my raid 1 OS and point the web directory to /media/raid5 ? | 21:13 |
| wuhi | auronandace : because its my girlfriends pc and she does not want a passwort ^^ | 21:13 |

| ubottu | andyk: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 21:14 |
| wuhi | auronandace thats not the problem :( there is an option to use blank passwords in ubuntu. but it does not work | 21:15 |
| ikonia | andyk: if you go to https://help.ubuntu.com in the server section there is a guide on how to configure apache | 21:15 |
| ikonia | andyk: how big is your root disks (the raid 1 mirror set) | 21:15 |
| beat111 | DasEi: New version: Please have a look: http://pastebin.com/sd3Yt5e1 | 21:15 |
| andyk | yea i have a little bit of experience with apache, it is the raid5 and apache combination that I am trying to wrap my head around | 21:15 |
| auronandace | wuhi: what desktop environment are you using? | 21:15 |
| andyk | and more importantly the ext4 filesystem | 21:16 |
| ikonia | andyk: why does raid5 matter to you ? just treat it like a normal disk, that's all it is | 21:16 |
| ikonia | andyk: the file system is the same as any other file system you've ever used | 21:16 |
| wuhi | auronandace : i tihnk its gnome. just the default config of ubuntu 11.10 | 21:16 |
| auronandace | wuhi: ah, thats unity (on top of gnome3), sorry i can't help you with that (i use xfce) | 21:17 |
| andyk | so if I wanted to put my website on the mounted raid5 all i would have to do is point apache www public file to the mounted raid5 folder? | 21:17 |
| wuhi | auronandace: ok thx | 21:17 |
| ikonia | andyk: yes, but why do you want to do that ? what is wrong with the current location ? | 21:17 |
| ikonia | andyk: as I said if you read the link on https://help.ubuntu.com it will tell you how to setup apache, as ubuntu uses a slightly different method for defining virtual hosts and document roots | 21:18 |
| beat111 | DasEi: The problem is that after the cryptsetup luksOpen command and entering my password the disk seems to be unlocked but I don't get the message "key slot 0 unlocked" like in the tutorial I read. | 21:18 |
| andyk | well I have the OS on a two disk raid 1 | 21:18 |
| andyk | and then i have five other disks in a raid5 | 21:18 |
| ikonia | andyk: ok, so why don't you want to put the data on the mirror set ? | 21:18 |

| ikonia | andyk: as in the mirrored disk set, in /var/www - how much space is available | 21:22 |
| andyk | i believe about 145 GB on the raid5 and only 65 GB on the raid1 | 21:22 |
| andyk | 65 GB | 21:23 |
| ikonia | andyk: ok - so your ubuntu install should not go aboe 8 - 10 GB, that leaves 55GB of data for your website, do you think your website will be 55GB ? | 21:23 |
| auronandace | Jaymac: i don't use empathy but i'm on msn with pidgin just fine | 21:23 |
| andyk | well probably not, im not completely sure it will be MySQL intensive | 21:23 |

| Jaymac | auronandace, pidgin is just about to be installed.. haven't used it in years | 21:24 |
| ikonia | andyk: I can't see it being 55GB | 21:24 |
| ikonia | andyk: I'd keep it as simple as possible, especially the document root position (as I'll repeat to make sure it's clear, apache uses a different methods to define the document root and virtual hosts) | 21:24 |

| ubottu | Jaymac: Glad you made it! :-) | 21:26 |
| Jaymac | maybe this is going to be the straw that broke the camel's back | 21:26 |
| kratos | half of it DasEi! i want to know how to use the NTFS partition as my linux /home and if it would effect windows | 21:26 |
| andyk | alright, but one more thing my most valuable data will not be the code, I can have multiple copies of that somewhere, but it will be the MySQL tables and the mp3 files, should that be in the raid5 then? | 21:26 |
| Jaymac | I fell out with Pidgin years ago - maybe time to start using it again :) | 21:26 |
| ikonia | andyk: no | 21:26 |
| ikonia | andyk: the mirror | 21:27 |
| auronandace | kratos: you don't | 21:27 |
| andyk | what if a disk fails? | 21:27 |
| ikonia | andyk: just take regular exports/backups, | 21:27 |
| guy__ | ikonia, i tried sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig but it says command not found | 21:27 |
| ikonia | andyk: if a disk fails, nothing will matter, because it's mirrored | 21:27 |
| ikonia | guy__: command not found or package not found ? | 21:27 |
| andyk | then do i have to manually rebuild the new disk i put in | 21:27 |
| ikonia | andyk: well, not manually, you put it in and re-add it to the raid array and it will mirror from the running disk | 21:27 |
| guy__ | ikonia, sorry that output comes when i run sudo nvidia-xconfig | 21:27 |
| ikonia | guy__: ok, that's why I said install it | 21:28 |
| DasEi | kratos: you CAn have ntfs in linux, but loose a lot of linux capabilities then. first tip would be an additional shared parti, second a home in ext3 (ubu) that win can (by a "plugin") can also read n write | 21:28 |
| andyk | so what is the benefit of a raid5 array then? Ive read somewhere of people migrating MySQL to raid5 | 21:28 |

| andyk | well i knew i was wasting the drive but im just learning right now so its ok nothing important is being hosted yet | 21:37 |
| ikonia | andyk: your swap partition should be roughly the same size as your memory | 21:38 |
| beat111 | DasEi: It is not a dir. | 21:38 |
| ikonia | guy__: you should have nvidia-xconfig on your machine then | 21:38 |
| DasEi | kratos: no good idea, a shared home, as the oses will conflict in overwriting /sys-parti win n /data-parti ntfs | 21:38 |
| andyk | will ubuntu automaticly use the swap if the RAM is full or do i have to configure it somewher? | 21:38 |
| DasEi | beat111: /dev/mapper/crypt | 21:38 |
| cemc | I can't find the shortcut 'Switch to workspace X'. did it just disappear? | 21:38 |
| ikonia | andyk: it will auto use it, but if you're swapping out, your in trouble | 21:39 |
| DasEi | andyk: does so, can configure swapiness though, but oc a swap parti must be there | 21:39 |
| andyk | i shouldnt need it anytime soon i have 8GB RAM | 21:39 |
| auronandace | Neosano: you could try openshot | 21:39 |

| DasEi | morrna: both is always possible without fresh reinstall, repair win-loader as is reinstalling grub | 21:51 |
| kratos | they didnt give me info about it so am trying to find the answer here so am not asking if its good or bad to do! i know its a big mess to use NTFS in linux! i mean who need it and am with you in that! but thats my case | 21:51 |
| guy__ | ikonia, my xorg.conf is also missing as well as xorg.conf.nvidia from /etc/X11 | 21:51 |
| DasEi | morrna: for win ask in ##windows here it is : | 21:51 |
| DasEi | !grub | 21:52 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 21:52 |
| kratos | and yes its poorly written with no opetions and it just modfiy windows system files to do one job only on them | 21:52 |
| auronandace | kratos: then i suggest you hire better devs that know what they are doing | 21:52 |
| DasEi | morrna: I rather gues you never saw grub's menu , could that be ? | 21:53 |
| morrna | @DasEi no i got to the grub menu fine, but it only had entries for ubuntu and ubuntu recovery mode | 21:53 |
| guy__ | ikonia, you there? | 21:53 |
| ikonia | guy__: I am now | 21:54 |
| DasEi | morrna: ah ok, so os-prober or a fix first of win, then grub again should have done the trick | 21:54 |
| morrna | all right | 21:54 |
| kratos | lol back to the openions! guys cumon! i really need to know if its APPLICABLE to mount NTFS system partion as the linux /home or not and if its going to effect my windows OS! thats all, i have a demo to perform tomorow and i need to be ready! am travling now and i cant ask help from the dev's! its holday even in my country now :( | 21:54 |
| === davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle | ||
| ikonia | kratos: no, it's not | 21:55 |
| morrna | @DasEi I may have to go ask about the problems with win7 first, because the recovery disk wasn't able to get win7 booting again | 21:55 |
| DasEi | morrna: no need for full reinstall, problems there can be is when mbr is too small, efi is used, but there are workarounds, too | 21:55 |
| ikonia | kratos: 1.) it is a bad thing to do for linux 2.) it will not effect your linux disk, however it will not making using it easy | 21:55 |
| _chaos_ | dsl is more like dialup these days | 21:55 |
| guy__ | ikonia, so what shoul i do?? if you see my xorg.0.log there is no xorg.conf | 21:55 |
| morrna | @DasEi how small is too small? I'm pretty sure my mbr was sitting on at least 100 MB | 21:56 |
| ikonia | guy__: there should not be an xorg.conf at this time - did you run the find command I told you | 21:56 |
| guy__ | ikonia, yes i posted it here | 21:56 |
| DasEi | morrna: na, it's ~512 first blocks commonly, you talk about /boot (partition), mbr is masterbootrecord | 21:56 |
| ikonia | guy__: I didn't see that, did you find the command ? | 21:56 |
| DasEi | !mbr | 21:56 |

| kratos | why you all guys keep just telling me if its bad or good :( i know its bad IT IS BAD but i need it!!!! i need to know if its applicable!! guys i need to do this once and then i swear am gonna trach the laptop!! why cant you guys stop giving me openions and give me some facts :'( | 21:57 |

| guy__ | ikonia, nothing comes up | 21:59 |
| ikonia | guy__: what command did you run exactly | 21:59 |
| morrna | @DasEi and how does one look at the mbr? i know how to use the bootrec.exe utility from the windows recovery disk but that's about it | 21:59 |

| guy__ | ikonia, oh ok | 22:00 |
| DasEi | morrna: again, ask in ##windows, I haven't looked in it since xp, there it was fixmbr, igfu | 22:00 |
| morrna | DasEi: ok, but if you know of a way to work with it from within ubuntu that could help too | 22:01 |
| guy__ | ikonia, ran it, just asks me for the password then nothing | 22:01 |
| escott | morrna, you can just read the contents of the mbr by accessing /dev/sda but why you would want to do that is beyond me | 22:01 |
| ikonia | guy__: it should bring up a gui | 22:02 |
| DasEi | morrna: http://tinyurl.com/34bxdt2 | 22:02 |

| zacarias | when trying to install libldap2-dev with Synaptic, it says "Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (=2.4.23-0ubuntu3.5) but 2.4.23-0ubuntu3.6 is to be installed". However, it's installed! | 22:04 |
| EvilResistance | zacarias: there's an upgrade that supercedes 2.4.23-0ubuntu3.5 | 22:05 |
| scorinitron | I'm trying to find a linux os that will use the hardware in my computer without wasting any resources | 22:05 |
| EvilResistance | zacarias: i.e. the latest is 2.4.23-0ubuntu3.6 therefore the package manager is installing that | 22:05 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: as in how? | 22:06 |
| Gentoo64 | ram and that? | 22:06 |
| scorinitron | gentoo64: yeah | 22:06 |
| ikonia | scorinitron: no linux distro would waste your resources | 22:06 |
| zacarias | EvilResistance: but synaptic shows that I have 2.4.23-0ubuntu3.6 | 22:06 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: depends what you want from the os | 22:06 |
| escott | scorinitron, define "waste" is having getty running tty1 considered a waste? | 22:06 |
| Gentoo64 | you could run in console only | 22:07 |
| Gentoo64 | but whod want that for a desktop | 22:07 |
| EvilResistance | zacarias: ***READ*** the statements | 22:07 |
| scorinitron | well I can't multi-task | 22:07 |
| zacarias | EvilResistance:? | 22:07 |
| scorinitron | it freezes every 10 minutes | 22:07 |
| ikonia | scorinitron: linux will allow you to multi-task | 22:07 |
| EvilResistance | zacarias: "Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (=2.4.23-0ubuntu3.5)" Is 2.4.23-0ubuntu3.5 equal to 2.4.23-0ubuntu3.6 | 22:07 |
| ikonia | scorinitron: that is most likley a hardware error, or an incompatible hardware component with linux | 22:07 |
| EvilResistance | ? | 22:07 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: how much ram do you have? | 22:07 |
| scorinitron | 2GB | 22:07 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: it does sound like a hardware error | 22:08 |
| Gentoo64 | unless you're using all the ram | 22:08 |
| zacarias | EvilResistance: so I should downgrade it? | 22:08 |
| EvilResistance | zacarias: either that or not use what you're trying to install. | 22:09 |

| scorinitron | is their anything I can do about that? | 22:09 |
| EvilResistance | zacarias: i rarely recommend downgrading anything | 22:09 |
| EvilResistance | zacarias: what package are you trying to install? | 22:09 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: try a lighter desktop maybe | 22:09 |
| zacarias | EvilResistance: it's Libreoffice. How can I downgrade it? | 22:09 |

| ProxXy | thanks escott | 22:10 |
| scorinitron | yeah ;) sweet | 22:10 |
| auronandace | scorinitron: he means a lighter desktop environment (like xfce or lxde) | 22:10 |

| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: well theres other verions like lubuntu and xubuntu.. google them | 22:11 |

| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: of course. i take it you're new to linux | 22:14 |
| scorinitron | yeah | 22:14 |
| scorinitron | really new | 22:14 |

| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: theres more | 22:14 |
| escott | scorinitron, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop (or kubuntu-desktop etc) | 22:14 |
| DasEi | beat111: what is /is not up ? | 22:15 |
| scorinitron | ok | 22:15 |
| beat111 | DasEi: I just tried http://pastebin.com/vizf1dAp and I think it worked. I am at line 30 now and it worked. However the remaining lines are they really necessarry? They produce errors. | 22:15 |
| scorinitron | At least I'm familiar with the terminal :) | 22:16 |
| DasEi | beat111: see above, second, I rephrase it | 22:16 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: from windows? | 22:16 |
| DasEi | beat111: uups, and forget your old lines following the recheck in line 30, I saw too late your old rest there | 22:16 |
| auronandace | scorinitron: if you know exactly what you want you could try the mini.iso | 22:16 |
| auronandace | !mini | scorinitron | 22:17 |
| ubottu | scorinitron: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:17 |
| zacarias | EvilResistance: Thanks, anyway. | 22:17 |
| DasEi | beat111: said approx 20 min before, so no quit there, sudo reboot | 22:17 |
| Gentoo64 | auronandace: he is very new he said and didnt even know you could change the desktop | 22:17 |
| Gentoo64 | :) | 22:17 |
| scorinitron | Gentoo64, well I am new but I can use the terminal | 22:17 |
| scorinitron | lol | 22:17 |
| auronandace | scorinitron: define "use the terminal" | 22:18 |
| beat111 | So I can stop at line 30 then? | 22:18 |
| beat111 | DasEi: So I can stop at line 30 then? | 22:18 |
| beat111 | DasEi: Sorry my WLAN connectin is unstable and I get kicked off the chat all the time. I was not able to read your comment. | 22:18 |
| beat111 | DasEi: So after line 30 I should try a sudo reboot and it should work you say? :) | 22:18 |
| scorinitron | download programs, run programs | 22:18 |
| scorinitron | yeah let me rephrase that | 22:18 |
| scorinitron | I have basic knowledge of the terminal | 22:18 |
| Urchin | who requested small hard to see fonts in the virtual terminal? | 22:18 |
| scorinitron | VEry basic | 22:19 |
| DasEi | beat111: what did the recheck said ? all fine ? yes can reboot then | 22:19 |

| scorinitron | and found the terminal equivalent | 22:19 |
| Urchin | my eyes hurt | 22:19 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: youll find linux terminal much niver to use | 22:19 |
| auronandace | scorinitron: in that case try lubuntu as somebody already suggested | 22:19 |
| scorinitron | lubuntu....I'll look into it but I kinda want to step away from ubuntu all together | 22:20 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: why? | 22:20 |
| wagnergsantos | i'm having problem to connect to msn with empathy or emesene, someone can help me? | 22:20 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: if its a bad experience maybe its due to the gnome 3 / unity stuff | 22:20 |
| auronandace | scorinitron: then you are asking in the wrong room :) | 22:20 |
| scorinitron | XD | 22:20 |
| scorinitron | what do you run gentoo | 22:20 |
| shishire | lol | 22:20 |
| escott | Urchin, you can change the framebuffer resolution with a kernel boot parameter. specify it in /etc/default/grub. you may also be able to use something like fbset im not sure | 22:20 |
| scorinitron | and you auronandace | 22:21 |
| auronandace | scorinitron: xubuntu and archlinux | 22:21 |
| scorinitron | ok I heard of archlinux | 22:21 |
| scorinitron | and xubuntu | 22:21 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: you still havent stated what you actually want from a distro | 22:21 |
| scorinitron | archlinux is kinda like genome | 22:21 |
| scorinitron | um.... | 22:21 |
| scorinitron | hmmm | 22:22 |
| auronandace | scorinitron: i like xfce, you can install it in ubuntu with: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 22:22 |
| DasEi | Urchin: terminal ? it can be simply set under edit | 22:22 |
| scorinitron | I kinda want to learn bash and how to program....but I don't want my OS to be wasting resources. Let me but it this way | 22:23 |
| scorinitron | I have a 320GB hard drive on my pc | 22:23 |
| shishire | scorinitron: than you want one of the lightweight versions of ubuntu. Try xubuntu or lubuntu | 22:23 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: a lighter DE will save a ot of resources more than anything | 22:23 |
| DasEi | scorinitron: vm is your friend for fork's experiments | 22:23 |
| scorinitron | what's vm...Virtual machine? | 22:23 |
| wagnergsantos | hello, there are some problem with empathy msn protocol | 22:24 |
| wagnergsantos | ? | 22:24 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: distros like archlinux etc might be more minimal but it will only be in disk space, not in resources mostly | 22:24 |
| DasEi | yes, scorinitron, | 22:24 |
| DasEi | !vm | 22:24 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 22:24 |
| scorinitron | cool | 22:24 |
| DasEi | scorinitron: the advantage is, if you mess up, it's not the host, just a file on your system | 22:24 |
| scorinitron | cool | 22:25 |
| mediaslave | I want to create a symlink that every user of the box needs access to, what directory should that go in? | 22:25 |
| scorinitron | I see, i see | 22:25 |
| scorinitron | now what | 22:25 |
| scorinitron | is better | 22:25 |
| escott | mediaslave, what should the symlink do | 22:25 |
| Gentoo64 | mediaslave: make one and chmod it | 22:25 |
| scorinitron | xubunt or lubuntu? | 22:25 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: lubuntu would be better on resources | 22:25 |
| DasEi | !best | scorinitron | 22:25 |
| ubottu | scorinitron: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:25 |
| auronandace | scorinitron: try both and see which you like, lubuntu would be the lighter of those | 22:25 |
| mediaslave | escott: it is a link to firefox | 22:26 |
| DasEi | scorinitron: I haven't followed your conversation, possibly lightwight or a 'foolproof way for experiments ? | 22:26 |
| shishire | scorinitron: Gnome and unity, which is probably what you're feeling the resource hogging from, are just two components that can be swapped out. I use xfce (xubuntu) for a much lighter weight experience, while still getting the advantage of having the ubuntu repos at my disposal. | 22:26 |
| escott | mediaslave, /usr/local/bin | 22:26 |
| mediaslave | escott thank you! | 22:26 |
| scorinitron | ok I'll check out xfce | 22:27 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: easier to just put both on cds and try them live | 22:27 |
| scorinitron | ok | 22:27 |
| maheshk | my scp to a local virtual box image is very very slow and I suspect its because of proxy I'm using. | 22:28 |
| MeQuerSat | I've been dumb and executed "sudo chmod -R 664 /media/disk0_backup" | 22:28 |
| scorinitron | Thanks Gentoo64 sounds like a plan ^^ | 22:28 |
| DasEi | scorinitron: yes, just start anyware, mostly can have mixed desktops on one host, sometimes libs/dependenciece cause trouble, use vm's to play around | 22:28 |
| MeQuerSat | Now all my folders and files are gone | 22:28 |
| maheshk | I tried scp'ng same file without proxy and that seems to be faster. How can i tell SCP not to use proxy | 22:28 |

| scorinitron | that I am a total noob at | 22:29 |
| scorinitron | I've been trying to get tor running | 22:29 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: just apt-get install tor | 22:29 |
| DasEi | scorinitron: np, which distro, oneiric ? | 22:29 |
| scorinitron | yep | 22:30 |
| Gentoo64 | actually you might need a ppa im not sure | 22:30 |
| DasEi | Gentoo64: might need the repo | 22:30 |
| DasEi | y, second | 22:30 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah i think its on tors site | 22:30 |
| auronandace | !tor | scorinitron | 22:30 |

| xsaidx | hello guys | 22:30 |
| scorinitron | DasEi, yep this thing is killing me...I'm a total noob...when it comes to installing things XD | 22:30 |
| cosmosis | I am installing ubuntu 11.10 on a brand new system. 8 core AMD FX-8150 CPU with a ASUS M5A97 -- AMD 970 motherboard and 16 gig of ram. When I go to install I get as far as 864 and detecting the usb keyboard and then it just hangs. Any ideas? | 22:30 |

| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: do you need tor for irc? | 22:31 |
| Gentoo64 | or general stuff | 22:31 |
| scorinitron | yea XD | 22:31 |
| xsaidx | if i dont see bios and i dont get the grub menu for many time when i run my pc which log file shud i look into ? thanks | 22:31 |
| Gentoo64 | you can go to freenode and ask for a hostmask | 22:31 |
| Gentoo64 | scorinitron: ^ | 22:31 |
| Gentoo64 | its much faster and more reliable | 22:31 |
| Gentoo64 | tor depends on other connections, its too random and frustrating. i rarely use it | 22:32 |
| scorinitron | !hostmask | scorinitron | 22:32 |
| ubottu | scorinitron, please see my private message | 22:32 |
| scorinitron | what's a host mask? | 22:32 |
| Gentoo64 | so it doesnt show your ip | 22:32 |
| Gentoo64 | it will show unaffiliated instead (by default) | 22:33 |
| scorinitron | how would I do this? | 22:33 |
| Gentoo64 | ask in #freenode | 22:33 |
| fellayaboy | scorinitron, ask for a cloak | 22:33 |
| DasEi | scorinitron: a claok will hide your ip in irc, tor is for "anonymous" browsing | 22:33 |
| fellayaboy | go to freenode and ask for a cloak scorinitron one of the staff will cloak u | 22:33 |
| Gentoo64 | DasEi: tor still works | 22:33 |
| DasEi | as do exitnodes, hehe | 22:34 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah | 22:34 |
| xsaidx | Gentoo64: hello waht log file i must check if i dont see my bios and my grub menu and nethin work when the pc its on | 22:34 |
| escott | xsaidx, if you arent able to boot there will be no log files | 22:34 |
| auronandace | xsaidx: if you can't access your bios that isn't an OS problem | 22:35 |
| xsaidx | escott: noo the pc goes on its just that the keyboard doesnt work and my monitor stay black but the oc its o n | 22:35 |
| EvilResistance | xsaidx: there wont be logs if your computer cant reach BIOS. You'll need to contact a computer technician for help. | 22:35 |
| Ufunny | whats up everyone | 22:35 |
| xsaidx | guys but after many tries my pc boot normaly | 22:36 |
| auronandace | Ufunny: planes, the sky... | 22:36 |
| escott | xsaidx, sounds like you have some hardware issues. you need to have someone look into it | 22:37 |
| Gentoo64 | xsaidx, do you not see it post? | 22:37 |
| DasEi | xsaidx: try /var/log/syslog or dmesg > dmesg.txt && cat dmesg.txt | 22:37 |
| DasEi | xsaidx: do a memcheck and a fsck from live-cd un UN-mounted hd | 22:38 |
| DasEi | night all | 22:38 |
| xsaidx | so guys kernel.log doesnt worth chekin ?? | 22:38 |
| escott | xsaidx, doubtful because its only a log of the successful boots when your hardware was working | 22:39 |
| Gentoo64 | xsaidx, do you see the comp post? | 22:39 |

| Gentoo64 | laptops arent as easy | 22:43 |
| escott | xsaidx, laptops usually arent very servicable. if it is within warranty return it, otherwise its probably cheaper to buy a new machine | 22:43 |
| Gentoo64 | xsaidx, whats the bios key? tried tapping that as it boots? | 22:43 |
| Gentoo64 | i dont know anything at all about laptops | 22:43 |
| Gentoo64 | but reset cmos sounds like good idea | 22:43 |
| Gentoo64 | if its possible | 22:43 |
| xsaidx | escott: not really here in morocco Gentoo64 sorry but i dont get you and the key i gues you talkin about its F2 | 22:44 |
| Gentoo64 | maybe try taking the battery out, then pressing the power button for a few seconds | 22:45 |
| Gentoo64 | then plug it all back in | 22:45 |
| Gentoo64 | that should drain the power out of it | 22:45 |
| Gentoo64 | it does actually help in some cases. helped me a lot of times on desktop | 22:45 |

| red_ | Hi, I'm trying to extract the files from 1862 .7z files, and I am trying to figure out 1 command that will do all the work, so I don't have to painstakingly extract each file with archive manager. The archives are fine, but when I try 7z e *.7z I just get a message that says there are no files in the source archive | 22:49 |
| jrib | red_: use a for loop. Here is an example: for x in 1 2 3; do echo $x; done | 22:49 |
| Gentoo64 | xsaidx, no idea. you really cant do mcuh while not being able to boot | 22:49 |
| escott | red_, 7z is not very feature full. you need to use xargs or a bash loop | 22:49 |
| Gentoo64 | laptop graphcs arent as easy as just switching out a desktop one afaik | 22:49 |
| xsaidx | Gentoo64: now im using that machin by the way okay | 22:49 |
| ProxXy | wtf..i thought ubuntu wasnt meant to crash...its not letting me close a window with the x button?? | 22:50 |
| escott | red_, for f in *.7z do; 7z e "$f"; done; | 22:50 |
| gigenieks | anyone to help with my issue? | 22:50 |
| Gentoo64 | ProxXy, who told you that? | 22:50 |
| xsaidx | im using the machine that havin this problem Gentoo64 | 22:50 |
| Gentoo64 | lol | 22:50 |
| jrib | escott: you typo'd the ';' position | 22:50 |
| Gentoo64 | xsaidx, you said it couldnt boot? :S im confused | 22:50 |
| escott | jrib, thanks i can never remember. red_ ; before the do not after | 22:51 |
| red_ | that still doesn't explain why it says there are no files in the archive, when there are? I have tried unzipping one single archive from command line and it keeps saying that the archives are empty, but when I open them in archive manager the files are there. | 22:51 |
| xsaidx | Gentoo64: yesh but after many tries it booted now and im using it so now iwanna try to fix it : ] | 22:51 |
| jrib | red_: well how are you "unzipping one single archive from command line"? | 22:51 |
| meco | How can I mount the Windows partition other than starting up Nautilus when I'm using openbox? | 22:51 |
| somasin | my sound only works for root | 22:51 |
| escott | red_, it thinks you are trying to extract a file named foo.7z from an archive bar.7z because it see 7z e foo.7z bar.7z | 22:51 |
| Gentoo64 | meco, use mount | 22:52 |
| ProxXy | Gentoo64: its supposed to be more stable | 22:52 |
| red_ | 7z e filename | 22:52 |

| red_ | thx alot | 22:59 |
| escott | drdozer1, lots of approaches. you could migrate through an mdadm raid, or do a straight cp -a, or do a reinstall and !clone. the main difficulties are going to be splitting /var of the main system and putting it on the harddrive (unless you don't care about ssd wearing), fixing the fstab, and reconfiguring/reinstalling the bootloader | 22:59 |
| meco | Is it the /mnt folder only that needs to be created? | 22:59 |
| Daghdha | i once again have locked up XTerm, all 4 xterms are greyed out and non responsive. Pretty lame :/ | 22:59 |
| seion | meco yes create the folder in the /mnt folder | 22:59 |
| xsaidx | meco: noo the /mnt it exists already now do mkdir /mnt/folder_name with root privelge | 23:00 |
| escott | meco, /media is a more common name | 23:00 |
| Daghdha | starting a new one also ends up in the same state | 23:00 |
| Daghdha | (i say xterm but i mean gnome-terminal) | 23:00 |
| meco | How do I find out the name of the ntfs partition? | 23:01 |
| drdozer1 | escott: it's made a bit more gnarley by my original setup having 2 disks - boot from disk 1 (windows on that) but use disk 2 (ubuntu) | 23:01 |
| drdozer1 | escott: I want to end up with booting and using my ssd, no windows :) | 23:01 |
| jer7117 | never mind got it :) | 23:01 |
| escott | drdozer1, thats not a big issue. you now have three disks instead of two. you just need to decide where the bootloader will be, and rerun grub-install to put it on the mbr | 23:02 |
| === eric is now known as Guest50485 | ||
| escott | meco, what do you mean by name? you want the mountpoint? | 23:03 |
| drdozer1 | escott: well, once I'm done, the 2 old disks will be going into my `museum of old computer bits' | 23:03 |
| meco | when I run "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows" I get this error: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist | 23:03 |
| escott | meco, use the disk utility to find the partition name | 23:03 |
| pimperle | has the default rdp client been removed / changed in oneiric? tsclient seems to have vanished during the update | 23:03 |
| Daghdha | How can i gently stop gnome-terminal from commandprompt? (I am talking about locked up gnome terminals, i am in another terminal (not gnome-terminal) so i can kill stuff) | 23:03 |
| drdozer1 | escott: anyhoo, I'll upgrade to 11.10 first | 23:04 |

| Daghdha | Will that gracefull shutdown childprocesses? | 23:04 |
| meco | escott: I'm using openbox. What's the name of the disk utility? | 23:04 |
| Daghdha | tbh gnome-terminal is taking 98% cputime.. it probably won'tlisten to anything | 23:04 |
| escott | Daghdha, it will listen to kill | 23:05 |
| pimperle | Daghdha: if the childprocesses react on graceful attempts then they will close as well | 23:05 |
| Daghdha | ok | 23:05 |
| Daghdha | fingers crossed | 23:05 |
| escott | meco, openbox i dont know. if you check /proc/partitions you can list partitions | 23:05 |
| pimperle | otherwise they will become orphans and you might have to kill them manually (after looking them up in ps afuwx) | 23:05 |
| Daghdha | yeh | 23:05 |
| pimperle | Daghdha: killall asks the processes to terminate, which they usually do | 23:06 |
| Daghdha | That was 1 milisecond close of all terminals. | 23:06 |
| xsaidx | meco: what you can mount shud start with /dev/sda_number_here | 23:06 |
| Daghdha | No way that was gracefull | 23:06 |

| meco | when I run "sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/windows" I get this error: "mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /mnt/windows busy". But there's nothing in /mnt/windows. Any suggestions? | 23:12 |
| iceroot | Daghdha: sounds like you want "terminator" for the multi-terminal-thing | 23:12 |
| Gentoo64 | Daghdha: afaik urxvt does | 23:12 |
| RedAshes | pimperle I'm currently using xubuntu here, it's ok but there are some things in gnome which are better, like the clock which gives you weather info as well as the date and time based on ur exact location | 23:12 |
| escott | meco, the correct version of the command will have a partition number. you have to determine that first with some other tool (inspecting /proc/partitions or using parted) | 23:13 |
| Gentoo64 | RedAshes: xubuntu should tell the right date... | 23:13 |
| escott | meco, or use whatever gui disk management tools come with openbox | 23:13 |
| pimperle | RedAshes: have a look at xfapplet, which lets you add gnome applets to xfce | 23:13 |
| bastidrazor | meco: you need a number after sda.. sda1 or sda2.. etc | 23:13 |
| Gentoo64 | as for the weather, look out the window maybe? | 23:13 |
| pimperle | however i don't know if it handles unity applets | 23:13 |
| Daghdha | iceroot: I read terminal page, i don't see how i would benefit from that with regard to my current issue | 23:14 |
| bastidrazor | meco: sudo fdisk -l will list the partitions seen and 'mount' will show you whats mounted and where | 23:14 |
| meco | bastidrazor: OK, I see what I did wrong.. | 23:14 |
| Gentoo64 | Daghdha: i use urxvt and it seems to run in seperate processes for each terminal | 23:14 |
| Daghdha | COol. | 23:15 |
| Gentoo64 | its lighter and better imo | 23:15 |
| now3d_ | .. | 23:15 |
| bastidrazor | meco: god deal | 23:15 |
| Daghdha | and smarter | 23:15 |
| RedAshes | There are so many programs & ways to modify the look & feel of my desktop but I don't know how to use them | 23:16 |
| Gentoo64 | Daghdha: well you can customize it more. | 23:16 |
| Daghdha | :) | 23:17 |
| Daghdha | Just has to work | 23:17 |
| ZenMaster | Hello, I need help bringing up a DWL-G520 Atheros Wireless card in my Ubuntu server machine. :) | 23:17 |
| ZenMaster | It is detected, says it has a driver, but nothing shows up under ifconfig? :D | 23:17 |
| meco | I'm progressing but getting another error: Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. | 23:17 |
| meco | I figured closing nautilus would unnmount the ntfs volume. Is there an unmount command that I need to give? | 23:18 |

| now3d_ | [23:08] <now3d_> Hi there, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, would like to get Gnome Classic, however having a few probs with deps: "apt-get install gnome-session-fallback" gives me unmet dependecy on gnome-session-common any ideas, or a faq link on how to get Gnome Classic working? | 23:24 |
| go8765 | can anybody help me please to turn on managing of mouse by keyboard ? | 23:25 |
| escott | now3d_, well classic does not exist. fallback looks like classic but is not classic, and is probably not enough for you. if you want fallback try installing gnome-shell first then installing the fallback | 23:25 |
| now3d_ | escott: Tried that. I get umet dep on gnome-icon-theme-full | 23:26 |
| escott | now3d_, what version of ubuntu are you running? | 23:27 |
| now3d_ | escott: 11.10 (upgraded from 11.04) | 23:27 |
| escott | now3d_, did you have gnome-shell in 11.04? | 23:27 |
| now3d_ | escott: I had classic.. Not sure if that is the same as gome-shell | 23:29 |
| now3d_ | escott: gnome-shell package is not installed currently | 23:30 |
| escott | now3d_, no its different. something is messed up with your apt archive. make sure nothing is pinned, and try running apt-get check and apt-get -f | 23:30 |

| SetiAmon | hey I'm looking to improve my net speed.i want to get another wifi-N adapter.i'm thinking PCI anyhow whats the most powerful adapter that linux supports natively | 23:32 |
| SetiAmon | i can't seem to find a native support list for linux | 23:32 |
| now3d_ | escott: thanks, apt-get check is ok, apt-get -f gives me unknown param message. | 23:32 |
| lystra | I have 11.10 installed on a new Intel server. I've redirected console output to the serial port in the BIOS and modified grub accordingly and created /etc/init/ttyS0.conf. Everything works and I get a login prompt on the serial port. But, it doesn't take any input. Any ideas? | 23:34 |
| escott | now3d_, do you have anything pinned? | 23:34 |
| now3d_ | escott: My only other idea is to re-install.. often upgrades some to this! | 23:35 |
| Keith_ | Having troubles with NIS after upgrading to oneiric. ypbind -d shows I'm getting an RPC Authenticaion: Client cred too weak, error. Any ideas about what is going on, or how to debug it? | 23:35 |
| escott | now3d_, or do you have any ppas that could be breaking things | 23:35 |
| now3d_ | escott: hmm, I've not knowingly pinned. I have disabled the auto updates of packages yesterday though. | 23:36 |
| === Kyle is now known as Guest96720 | ||
| Keith_ | never mind my question. simple tcpwrapper problem. | 23:38 |
| escott | now3d_, im not too familiar with debugging apt issues, so maybe someone else can help if you ask again later | 23:39 |
| === zz_M4rc3l is now known as M4rc3l | ||

| go8765 | can anybody help me please to turn on managing of mouse by keyboard ? | 23:47 |
| kdepepo | hi, how long does it need for "proposed updates" to appear in official updates channel | 23:47 |
| escott | go8765, hit the windows key. type accessibility press enter | 23:48 |
| prodigel | hi all. I'm using xkeycaps/xmodmap to use custom keymapping, but strangely enough I can't set my right arrow key. xev reports as noSymbol 114, but setting that in my xmodmap file or 73 (the hexa value) is not helping. Any ideas ? | 23:48 |
| go8765 | escott, sorry... I cant understand what you mean | 23:50 |
| bobosomfan | Hi! My USB has "bad superblock". Is there anyway too fix that? :) | 23:50 |
| escott | go8765, so i dont know the exact answer to your question but it can be enabled/disabled in the accessibility menu which you can access by hitting the windows key and typing accessibility | 23:51 |
| escott | bobosomfan, you can fsck the usb, but the usb could be going bad so this may just be temporary | 23:52 |
| === LinoSP is now known as LinoSP|away | ||
| bobosomfan | escott: I can't. It only says "Read-only filesystem" | 23:53 |
| go8765 | escott, may be I bed describe my question... I need use mouse by keyboard, such as I have no mouse... (sorry I english is not my native and ) | 23:53 |
| bobosomfan | scott: * | 23:54 |
| go8765 | *I cant correct translaye your unswer :( | 23:54 |
| escott | go8765, and that can be enable in the accessibility menu its called mouse keys | 23:54 |
| escott | bobosomfan, so its read-only to protect the data that is on the stick right now because it assumes the stick is going bad and you will want to get the data off the stick. so do that first | 23:55 |
| go8765 | escott, you mean hotkeys? or some properties-gui ? | 23:55 |
| go8765 | escott, mouse keys - you mean hot keys or not? | 23:56 |
| escott | bobosomfan, then umount the stick, and then fsck /dev/sdX# as appropriate | 23:56 |
| bobosomfan | escott: I can't mount the stick | 23:56 |
| escott | go8765, i dont know | 23:56 |
| bobosomfan | The disk doesn't contain a vaild partition table | 23:56 |
| francisvgarcia | Hi guys | 23:57 |
| go8765 | escott, you dont know what you mean when you answered me? :) | 23:57 |
| BlueProtoman | Is anyone good with swap partitions? I recently repartitioned my hard drive, and removed a swap partition in favor of a new one (I was resizing another one). Problem is, Ubuntu isn't using this new one. How can I get it to? | 23:57 |
| escott | bobosomfan, if there is no partition table you can use testdisk to try and recover the data | 23:57 |
| escott | BlueProtoman, is it listed in fstab | 23:57 |
| iceroot | BlueProtoman: edit /etc/fstab and put in there your new partition | 23:57 |
| francisvgarcia | I want to make the internet explorer virtual in ubuntu, any ideas | 23:57 |
| iceroot | francisvgarcia: wine | 23:57 |
| iceroot | francisvgarcia: with winetricks | 23:57 |
| iceroot | !appdb | francisvgarcia | 23:58 |
| ubottu | francisvgarcia: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 23:58 |
| escott | go8765, go to the universal access application and the fourth tab is pointing and clicking and one of the options is mouse keys | 23:58 |
| go8765 | escott, you mean in gnome-control-center? | 23:59 |
| BlueProtoman | iceroot: It's in there already, it's just not being used | 23:59 |
| escott | go8765, what version of ubuntu are you running | 23:59 |
