| _calum | I'm looking for a piece of software which will generate tcp / udp packets and send them to a target, does such software exist for Ubuntu? | 00:00 |
| ikonia | _calum: what are you actually trying to do | 00:00 |
| firmevato | ikonia, how about my porn keeps buffering due to the lack of bandwidth? | 00:01 |
| firmevato | HOW'MA POSETA JACK OFF?! | 00:01 |
| ikonia | firmevato: please keep the porn out of the channel | 00:01 |
| firmevato | ok | 00:01 |
| Grille | hi, how can i get courier-bold font on LTS ? | 00:01 |
| slong002 | usr13 no wireless adapter on the pc. its just connect to a port on te wireless router. | 00:01 |
| firmevato | so after making a worthless comment, do you have any real help for me? | 00:01 |
| _calum | ikonia:I want to test a computer's response to tcp / udp traffic, firewall test etc | 00:02 |
| ikonia | firmevato: well, flashing lights just mean device in use, that is not a bad thing | 00:02 |
| firmevato | well, how about i tell you THEY DON'T NORMALLY FLASH THIS MUCH. | 00:02 |
| firmevato | something is taking up my bandwidth and running the harddrive so the computer is less responsive than normal | 00:02 |
| ikonia | firmevato: calm down, stop typing in caps, I'm having a normal converation and you seem to be keen to be disruptive | 00:02 |
| firmevato | the computer is slow, ok? | 00:02 |
| slong002 | usr13: no wireless adapter on the pc. its just connect to a port on te wireless router. | 00:02 |
| ikonia | firmevato: ok, run "top" and see if any processes are "busy" | 00:03 |
| firmevato | thank you! | 00:03 |
| ikonia | _calum: tell telneting to an active/dead port will test TCP, | 00:03 |
| ikonia | _calum: using a dns server and doing fake transfers/lookups will test udp | 00:03 |
| ikonia | those are simple tests that take about an hour to setup | 00:03 |
| firmevato | that's all I needed. thanks. | 00:03 |
| ikonia | there are also non-specific tools such as "ping" for tcp | 00:03 |
| firmevato | for some reason "java" is the most active process. | 00:04 |
| ikonia | and there used to be a tool called "udpdump" | 00:04 |
| _calum | ikonia:Does ubuntu have packet generation software? | 00:04 |
| dcherniv | _calum, apache's "ab" might be what you're looking for] | 00:04 |
| ikonia | _calum: there are many tools for, it depends on what you what to generate, eg: "ping" will generate packages, but are they what you want ? | 00:04 |
| _calum | I want to test my windows firewall program | 00:05 |
| firmevato | ok I did "kill -9 (java pid)" and it automatically restarted and is running the cpu at 97% now? | 00:05 |
| ikonia | _calum: you said earlier nmap has those capabilities | 00:05 |
| ikonia | firmevato: just reboot | 00:05 |
| firmevato | ok, brb. | 00:06 |
| InvaderZim | Using unity, how can I move the top bar/panel to the bottom? | 00:06 |
| _calum | yeah but not necessarily to test open/closed ports but to check that it blocks attempts | 00:06 |
| ikonia | _calum: what ? | 00:07 |
| ikonia | _calum: testing open/closed ports IS it blocking attempts | 00:07 |
| ikonia | _calum: eg: if you test an closed port and it reports it as "open" it's not working | 00:07 |
| ikonia | _calum: if you test a closed port and it reports closed, it's worked | 00:07 |
| _calum | how reliable is nmap though | 00:07 |
| ikonia | _calum: very | 00:08 |
| AnttiM | Hi, I'm trying to boot Ubuntu Live from USB stick, but it just gets into an endless loop of reboots | 00:08 |
| _calum | What kind of traffic would be seen if a port scan was taking place on windows? Multiple connections to many tcp ports? | 00:09 |
| AnttiM | can anyone help me in this matter? | 00:09 |
| ikonia | _calum: it basically just throws a few packets at a port trying to make a connection, and the response from the remote device determains it's status | 00:10 |
| ikonia | _calum: depends how you configure it - nmap will do what you tell it to do | 00:10 |
| utente1 | русские есть? | 00:11 |
| _calum | so ACK = open port, RST closed port, no response = dropped packet? | 00:11 |
| ikonia | _calum: check the documentation for status | 00:11 |
| firmevato | ikonia, I rebooted the computer and java started automatically again, and it's maxing out the CPU. When I kill -9 it, it restarts automatically with a new PID. | 00:12 |
| czx | how to copy a file witout replace? | 00:12 |
| _calum | thanks ikonia, I will look through nmap docs | 00:12 |
| ikonia | firmevato: so before you did anything, no browsers open or anything like that, java just started | 00:12 |
| pfifo | firmevato, do you use freenet? | 00:12 |
| firmevato | that is correct. actually yes I just did install freenet recently. I think you've got it. | 00:13 |
| firmevato | thank you. | 00:13 |
| tonyyarusso | czx: what do you mean? | 00:13 |
| pfifo | ikonia, freenet adds an entry to cron | 00:13 |
| ikonia | pfifo: that sounds bad | 00:13 |
| czx | to copy a file not replacing destination | 00:13 |
| firmevato | I just shut down freenet and the java PID is no longer running | 00:13 |
| ikonia | czx: you're not copying the file then | 00:14 |
| firmevato | you fixed it, bro. way to go. | 00:14 |
| === Wi1d_ is now known as Wi1d | ||
| ikonia | czx: if you copy a file and there is already a file there, if you don't replace - you're not copying it, you're "not" copying it | 00:14 |

| ikonia | czx: then you're not replacing anything as no file exists to replace | 00:14 |

| ikonia | tonyyarusso: bravo | 00:15 |
| Javid_ | where can I get help with Totem? | 00:15 |
| tonyyarusso | czx: Okay, try looking into either the -i or -n options to cp, or possibly using rsync instead. | 00:15 |

| trism | logi_: yes, change the font-family at the beginning of /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css (if you install the user-theme extension, you can copy that whole directory to ~/.themes/SomeThemeName/gnome-shell/, edit it there and switch themes with gnome-tweak-tool so you don't have to edit the main theme) | 00:27 |

| itsonlyme | pfifo: I had some important documents on it. | 00:29 |
| czx | I need copied file to blend permissions and owner and acl, will cp copy them instead? | 00:29 |
| pfifo | itsonlyme, deleting the partition dosent affect the filesystem, you just need to use fdisk to recreate the partition | 00:29 |
| itsonlyme | I tried recreating the partition, but there's nothing there. | 00:30 |
| pfifo | itsonlyme, did you reformat? | 00:30 |
| itsonlyme | Its created an empty partition, maybe formatted automatically. | 00:30 |

| kandinski | no man page for gwibber either | 00:33 |

| Javid_ | usr13: I see. Looks like the guide I had gave me the wrong plugin folder.. let's see here | 01:35 |
| s0nee | silverrocker: you may want to check the xorg configuration file ? | 01:35 |
| usr13 | Javid_: Yes, should be: /usr/lib/totem/plugins/ | 01:35 |
| dcherniv | silverrocker, i had that when machine was running headless and X nowadays detects a monitor. solved by manually specifying screen in xorg.conf | 01:36 |
| dcherniv | silverrocker, not sure if xorg.conf even works still with latest ubuntu | 01:36 |
| iostream_2003 | hey people | 01:36 |
| djexq | okay, so i installed 11.10 under windows & am now booted into it. i try to go to the root folder of my drive, but it says that i don't have permission | 01:36 |
| silverrocker | dcherniv: I think this machine has 10.04 | 01:36 |
| usr13 | djexq: sudo | 01:37 |
| knish809 | Has the touchpad double tap and hold problem been solved yet? | 01:37 |
| dcherniv | silverrocker, check to see if there's an xorg.conf somewhere, not sure where ubuntu puts it now, used to be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:37 |
| usr13 | djexq: What do you need that is in the root folder of your drive? | 01:37 |
| procrastubator | Guys what do I need to know about figuring out how to get Ubuntu to see wireless connections? | 01:37 |
| usr13 | dcherniv: Still in /etc/X11/ | 01:38 |
| * yoaino3v This Winehq IRC room is full of **sholes | 01:38 | |
| djexq | i don't even know if i really need to go to the root folder, but i'd like to be able to get to the windows partition to access my music | 01:38 |
| usr13 | procrastubator: iwconfig | 01:38 |
| bekks | djexq: then just mount it | 01:38 |
| usr13 | djexq: man fstab | 01:38 |
| usr13 | read.... | 01:38 |
| knish809 | i did some xorg.conf mods and got a little action, but it's still not right. | 01:38 |
| Javid_ | usr13: putting the plugin files there doesn't seem to have worked either | 01:39 |
| procrastubator | usr13: and then what? | 01:39 |
| Rya_n | Mildly annoying problem... Side by side, the text of my desktop icons overlap. | 01:39 |
| zabomber | usr13: same result as Javid_ | 01:39 |
| djexq | thank you, reading now. i'll let you know what happens | 01:39 |
| silverrocker | dcherniv, actually I'm just trying to run a script which does some work for me but fails with FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver. from mencoder or mplayer and I'm guessing I would need x to solve that? | 01:39 |
| usr13 | procrastubator: what does iwconfig say about your wifi device? | 01:40 |
| procrastubator | usr13: I'll login from Ubuntu and come back here through another computer in a minute, it'll be much more convenient than booting back and forth. Be back in two | 01:40 |
| Rya_n | Is there a way to narrow desktop icons text, or get rid of it altogether? | 01:40 |
| dcherniv | silverrocker, a video conversion script? | 01:40 |
| silverrocker | dcherniv: yes | 01:40 |
| dcherniv | silverrocker, can you pastebin it? | 01:41 |
| silverrocker | dcherniv: the script? | 01:41 |
| dcherniv | silverrocker, you shouldnt need X for that | 01:41 |
| dcherniv | silverrocker, yea | 01:41 |
| KillaByte | i am trying to become more familiar with the terminal does anyone havelinks for a noob? | 01:41 |
| silverrocker | yes, that wouldn't be logical | 01:41 |
| usr13 | Javid_: How did you install the totem plugin? | 01:42 |
| usr13 | Javid_: Did you use the package manager? | 01:42 |
| Javid_ | usr13: via the directions here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/airplay-video-playback-comes-to-totem/ | 01:42 |
| Darkenvy | I have a website and I want to symlink a log folder that is located inside of "~/root". How can I do this? I want a directory like "xxxxx.com/logs/" | 01:43 |
| Darkenvy | If I symlink it denies me permission to view the folder on "xxxx.com/logs/". My website does handle directory listing btw. "xxxx.com/images/" lists | 01:44 |
| djexq | usr13: is there any particular reason that under system settings, users & groups is not displayed. it is only users | 01:44 |
| usr13 | Javid_: Did you move the files into /usr/lib/totem/plugins/ ? | 01:45 |
| Javid_ | usr13: I did indeed | 01:45 |
| usr13 | Javid_: I don't know for sure. | 01:49 |
| usr13 | Javid_: Try sudo apt-get install totem-plugins-extra totem-plugins | 01:50 |
| djexq | does anyone know why groups wouldn't be available under system settings? | 01:50 |
| usr13 | djexq: What are you trying to do? | 01:50 |
| usr13 | djexq: Did you read the manfile for fstab? | 01:51 |
| bekks | man 5 fstab | 01:51 |
| Javid_ | usr13: ok, trying | 01:52 |
| djexq | usr13: yes, but to be honest, i really didn't understand exactly how to mount my ntfs partition | 01:52 |
| zabomber | djexq: what are you trying to do? have you install ntfs-3g? | 01:53 |
| usr13 | djexq: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit | 01:53 |
| Javid_ | usr13: nope | 01:53 |
| usr13 | Javid_: something may need to be restarted. You might try a reboot. | 01:54 |

| L1nuxRules | not sure then , sorry | 02:22 |

| jetblackdog | howdy, i just tried to 'sudo su -" on the ubuntu liveCD/ install CD and it kicked me to a login screen - what's the live CD password so i can get back in to install lol | 02:24 |
| L1nuxRules | tony you can only restrict repos easily youd need to grep , xargs and probably sed stuff to do what you want unless theres a gui tool | 02:24 |
| bonhoffer | lsof right? | 02:24 |
| L1nuxRules | bonhoffer netstat -ln | grep 3000 | 02:25 |
| Tony | I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and Debian 6 on my 2 VPS servers, so no GUI tools | 02:25 |

| jetblackdog | qin: thx, that was it lol | 02:25 |
| Tony | the repository is "deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all" | 02:26 |
| Tony | I only want the NGINX packages from that repository. how do I do that? | 02:26 |
| bonhoffer | L1nuxRules, thanks! | 02:26 |
| bonhoffer | works | 02:26 |
| bonhoffer | lsof -i :3000 worked too | 02:26 |
| hammoommah | apparently i have 2 screenasaver deamons running.... lubuntu default and gnome deamon | 02:26 |
| L1nuxRules | like I said it would need scripting to do waht you want i.e restrict it to packages, you can only restrict by repo at PM level unless things have changed in new distros Im old skool | 02:27 |
| L1nuxRules | bonhoffere that only works if theres an open session what I said works if its only listening | 02:28 |

| apwbdjp | L1nuxRules, who cares about people's intention? You're volunteering to help people with using an OS whose entire idea is based on free information. | 02:50 |
| OttScorp | Speaking of Security.. Is Apparmour on by default in Ubuntu/Lubuntu 11.10? | 02:50 |
| bonhoffer | what is the shortcut key for killing an app? | 02:50 |
| bonhoffer | (alt+f4 for ubunut (11.10))? | 02:50 |
| L1nuxRules | <apwbdjp> Ive shouted to loud , sorry | 02:51 |
| OttScorp | lol bonhoffer :-) I think he probably mean that a app has hung or has stopped responding :-) | 02:51 |
| OttScorp | not sure about a shortcut key | 02:51 |
| apwbdjp | L1nuxRules, everyone can know anything. If we start restricting information, let's be Windows, and hide our source codes so that people don't know our security breaches. | 02:51 |
| OttScorp | look up the xkill command | 02:51 |
| bonhoffer | i would like it to be graceful -- not an app that has hung -- an app that is in my way | 02:52 |
| L1nuxRules | <apwbdjp> your on my level :) | 02:52 |
| OttScorp | minimize the app then? | 02:52 |

| azriel | thx | 03:05 |

| apwbdjp | To everyone else: No one knows of a single package that holds them all? | 03:07 |
| azriel | do i type it as [tab][tab]? | 03:07 |

| OttScorp | azriel - it means to press the tab key itself twice | 03:14 |
| ebswift | thanks OttScorp, i'll give it a go | 03:14 |
| puff | apwbdjp: So, I went through all of those troubleshooting steps, no luck. | 03:14 |
| Nichola | well, I can't burn a cd, my drives, all of them have given up on me =( | 03:15 |
| Nichola | I am using a usb drive to install... | 03:15 |
| Nichola | are you thinking that is causing issues? | 03:15 |
| OttScorp | when you boot from the usb stick.. is there not an option to "check the install media" | 03:16 |
| L1nuxRules | your failed drives could be hanging the boot yes, you could try removing silet and splah fromm the boot option | 03:17 |
| OttScorp | I'll ask again.. during the install.. are there any hard disk activity during the install? | 03:17 |
| azriel | ottscorp apwbdjp: my fine sirs you have been more helpful to me than the rest of the internets and google combined | 03:17 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, it shouldn't, just that the Ubuntu Live CD requires a lot of i/o, from a USB stick there's more chance of failure.. | 03:17 |
| L1nuxRules | ^^ to get an error that is | 03:17 |
| Nichola | I am not sure how to check the power options. One thing about this computer, I am locked out of the BIOS. It is a used laptop. | 03:17 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, okkay, that's hard. (even if you get through the install fine, you should consider removing the CMOS battery to reset the password, might come in handy later) | 03:18 |
| OttScorp | not sure if there is a cmos battery in laptops | 03:18 |
| OttScorp | k.. apwbdjp confirms cmos battery in laptops :-) | 03:18 |
| L1nuxRules | nichola at the grub prompt type e then scroll to the 2nd line and press e then delete the quiet and splash entries you should get an error during boot then | 03:18 |
| apwbdjp | puff, I didn't forget you, just hang on with me for a second | 03:19 |
| L1nuxRules | once youve modified grub press esc then b | 03:19 |
| Weisz | Allo | 03:19 |
| apwbdjp | L1nuxRules, he's far away from there yet, he's still trying to install | 03:19 |
| L1nuxRules | <apwbdjp> ok , I really need to read everything dont I :( | 03:20 |
| Morpheus34 | 'ello | 03:20 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, your laptop has ethernet connectivity, and can be connected with it right now, right? | 03:21 |

| Gremuchnik | Hi! Quick question: I don't like Unity, but I do like GNOME3. Will Ubuntu 12.04 offer GNOME3 without Unity, the regular "original" GNOME3 | 03:23 |
| fellayaboy | can someone tell me why transmission halts my internet in ubuntu 11.04? the port is opened and ive lowered the peers connections to about 5 and i still get my internet to halt on my wireless | 03:23 |
| OttScorp | try LXDE Gremuchnik :-) | 03:24 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, do you have a working linux machine at your hand? | 03:24 |
| ArNezT | Gremuchnik: may be you can use ubuntu no-effect from login menu :) | 03:24 |
| Nichola | no | 03:24 |
| OttScorp | Ubuntu plans on sticking with Unity | 03:24 |
| L1nuxRules | gremuchink although I cant answer your question, you can install and use any desktop in Linux | 03:24 |
| usr13 | lolcat: Oh, yea, myabe you need streamripper or something. But if you just want to watch it, try gxine | 03:24 |

| MaynardWaters | I am trying to figure out how to mount a raid 5 array that was built with a fedora 12 mdadm program | 03:25 |
| Gremuchnik | Unity is called a GNOME plugin. BUt does that mean that only a Unity-version of GNOME will be available in he future? | 03:25 |
| lolcat | pumafyre: Can I do it command line? I want it on my boxee box | 03:25 |
| apwbdjp | puff, you might wanna say your problem clearly (when did the problem happen, how is it showing up exactly? did you notice anything while troubleshooting, does the sound come back as some point, etc) | 03:25 |
| OttScorp | sorry ArnetzT.. don't know | 03:25 |
| MaynardWaters | I can see all of the drives and that they are raid autodetect, but I have no /dev/md* | 03:25 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, I see.. can you make a USB stick from the Ubuntu Minimal CD? (that'll have a lot more chances of working) | 03:26 |

| Nichola | okay, where is that? | 03:26 |
| sean_ | Hello. | 03:26 |
| Nichola | is there a place to download it? | 03:26 |
| sean_ | Does anyone know how to change unity side bar settins? | 03:26 |
| fellayaboy | i agree i dont prefer unity myself | 03:26 |
| L1nuxRules | gremuchink thats one for the ones more experienced with gui than myself, think its something to do with API's though | 03:27 |
| apwbdjp | puff, and sorry for the long silence, just say your problem, maybe someone else will help you. | 03:27 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD here | 03:27 |
| fellayaboy | thats one reason i havent upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04 because its a little moer cumbersome to switch to gnome from what ive heard | 03:27 |
| OttScorp | fellayaboy: you can always use another desktop | 03:28 |
| sean_ | I just don't like it showing up every time I try to go back a page. | 03:28 |
| OttScorp | like LXDE, KDE, etc | 03:28 |
| czx | I need copied file to blend permissions and owner and acl, will cp copy them instead? | 03:28 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, it's designed so that everything (the entire system) comes from the internet, and not from the media itself. | 03:28 |
| fellayaboy | i prefer gnome though :/ | 03:28 |
| * Gremuchnik is still confused | 03:28 | |
| OttScorp | can't help you there sean as I don't use Unity | 03:28 |
| Gremuchnik | there will be no such thing as an Ubuntu distro with the regular GNOME3?! | 03:28 |
| fellayaboy | Gremuchnik, i hope thats not rue | 03:29 |
| OttScorp | I don't think so | 03:29 |
| fellayaboy | true* | 03:29 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, is has just the minimal network drivers so that it can download Ubuntu system. | 03:29 |
| L1nuxRules | gnome3 isnt nice either | 03:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Gremuchnik: Ubuntu has Gnome 3. | 03:29 |
| sean_ | I think that you can change the desktop from the log in screen. | 03:29 |
| OttScorp | agree L1nuxRules | 03:29 |
| Gremuchnik | tonyyarusso, already now? | 03:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Gremuchnik: yes | 03:29 |
| Gremuchnik | really? | 03:29 |
| tonyyarusso | Gremuchnik: Really. | 03:30 |
| Nichola | okay, thanks. So can I just use this on my usb drive, like I am doing now? | 03:30 |
| tonyyarusso | Just install it. | 03:30 |
| Gremuchnik | great! | 03:30 |
| fellayaboy | whoa no way thats very disappointing. i love the way gnome works. u can fit a ton more on the panel than u can in unities | 03:30 |
| Gremuchnik | I will do that | 03:30 |
| Gremuchnik | thanks | 03:30 |
| L1nuxRules | but we are using Linux we can rewrite gnome 2.6 if we want | 03:30 |
| czx | how to copy files without ACLS? | 03:30 |
| tonyyarusso | !nounity | Gremuchnik | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Gremuchnik: 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 | 03:30 |
| pumafyre | lolcat what? | 03:30 |
| Gremuchnik | cya guys! | 03:30 |
| Gremuchnik | bye | 03:30 |
| lolcat | pumafyre: Boxee box | 03:30 |
| OttScorp | try this command "sudo apt-get install lxde-desktop" to get the LXDE desktop | 03:30 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, yep. It has no graphical interface, but it'll guide you nicely through the install. | 03:30 |
| pumafyre | I saw that | 03:30 |
| pumafyre | what are you talking about? | 03:30 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, if you stuck anywhere, we're right here. | 03:30 |
| lolcat | pumafyre: boxee box | 03:30 |
| fellayaboy | it should be more work to install unity than gnome3 | 03:30 |
| fellayaboy | thats how it should be configured | 03:31 |
| fellayaboy | in my opnion | 03:31 |
| Nichola | okay, great. Would you recommend the Ubuntu 11.10 or....? | 03:31 |
| sean_ | what is the best gnome3 platform? | 03:31 |
| OttScorp | If you want a regular GNOME desktop (2.xx).. use Linux mint | 03:31 |
| L1nuxRules | nichola if your new stick with 10.04 LTS | 03:31 |
| OttScorp | best Gnome3 platform?? I believe that would be Fedora 16 | 03:31 |
| tonyyarusso | sean_: I haven't tried it myself, but from what I've seen probably Fedora. | 03:31 |
| Nichola | okay, got it. | 03:32 |
| OttScorp | or do 10.04LTS | 03:32 |
| tonyyarusso | sean_: Of course, you'll have to live with RPM-land. | 03:32 |
| L1nuxRules | fedora is yes been gnome 3 since 15 | 03:32 |
| fellayaboy | dont like rpm | 03:32 |
| fellayaboy | sudo apt-get install is god | 03:32 |
| L1nuxRules | rpm is good if you are :) | 03:32 |
| OttScorp | doesn't matter why do you care about package managers | 03:32 |
| fellayaboy | plus deb :) | 03:32 |
| vietred | hi everyone! | 03:32 |
| OttScorp | they all do the same thing | 03:32 |
| sean_ | tonyyarussi: What is RPM? | 03:32 |
| apwbdjp | BRB | 03:32 |
| tonyyarusso | OttScorp: If you want a Gnome 2.x desktop, the correct answer is "give up". Gnome 2 is no longer developed upstream, so will be dropped by all distros in due time. | 03:33 |
| L1nuxRules | red hat package something | 03:33 |
| vietred | how do I remove gnome-shell without install unity? | 03:33 |
| OttScorp | that's true tony | 03:33 |
| fellayaboy | sean_, ubuntu uses deb to install packages and programs..some others like red hat , fedora ,opensuse use rpm | 03:33 |
| tonyyarusso | sean_: Red Hat Package Manager. | 03:33 |
| sean_ | So some of the apps that I use now will be unavailable? | 03:33 |
| L1nuxRules | :) | 03:33 |
| fellayaboy | sean_, they can and will | 03:34 |
| OttScorp | No.. your apps that use under gnome will still be available | 03:34 |
| sean_ | Ok, is it just a little rougher? | 03:34 |
| OttScorp | since they are GTK apps (most likely) and there are other desktops that supports gnome programs | 03:34 |
| tonyyarusso | sean_: There are differences between every distro in terms of what software is available, but deb/apt vs. rpm/yum is a matter of how you install them rather than what exists. | 03:34 |
| OttScorp | by way of using gnome libraries | 03:34 |
| fellayaboy | just a little in my opinion sean_ | 03:34 |
| czx | sean_, it's a little better | 03:34 |
| Yerushalmi | Every so often, usually when something tries to play a sound, the sound icon disappears from my upper bar, then reappears at full volume - even if sound was previously muted. If I'm trying to prevent popup windows from making "bonk" noises when I'm in class this is extremely inconvenient and irritating. Can someone help me figure out why this is happening and stop it? | 03:35 |
| fellayaboy | deb works very well but u will see ...u should just try it out anyway just to see sean_ | 03:35 |
| tonyyarusso | sean_: It's one of those silly little things that us Linux folk have a tendency to get surprisingly worked up about even though to an outsider or beginner the two options appear very much alike. :P | 03:35 |
| OttScorp | tony nails it.. he's right | 03:35 |
| OttScorp | it's just a package manager | 03:35 |
| OttScorp | used to install stuff | 03:35 |
| apwbdjp | Back. | 03:36 |
| fellayaboy | sean_, try an rpm distro like redhat or fedora | 03:36 |
| L1nuxRules | rpm isnt a package manager yum is rpm is a package :) | 03:36 |
| sean_ | I love ubuntu, but some things have been getting to me lately. | 03:37 |
| OttScorp | ok ok.. thanks L1nuxRules :-p :-) | 03:37 |
| sean_ | Such as multiples of icons on the top bar which I can't change, unity getting out of hand, etc. | 03:37 |
| L1nuxRules | yum is the equivalent of apt and rpm is the equiv of deb | 03:37 |
| tonyyarusso | L1nuxRules: Actually, rpm is a package manager as well as a format. It's just that yum is better at being a package manager than rpm is :P Really yum is just a frontend to rpm. | 03:37 |
| tonyyarusso | Much like apt is a frontend to dpkg. | 03:37 |
| fellayaboy | sean_, yeah its easy to install using sudo apt-get install but u would use yum..i havent used it in a long time but when i did it was cumbersome but that was a long time ago | 03:37 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, rpm is a package manager | 03:38 |
| L1nuxRules | rpm doesent manage packages without intervention so isnt a manager | 03:38 |
| L1nuxRules | yum uses a db unlike rpm | 03:38 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, it manages packages. It does the install and uninstall. It also keeps track of which files belong to what package | 03:39 |
| fellayaboy | sean_, yeah thas why i stuck with 11.04 because theirs an option before you log in to use no effect or classic with effects | 03:39 |
| fellayaboy | it uses gnome off the bat but in 11.04 u have to configure it which sucks big time | 03:39 |
| L1nuxRules | it doesent you use it to do that | 03:39 |
| sean_ | Is there a way that I can run an update to Fedora? I have 99 gig of music that I don't want to work on transfering. | 03:39 |
| OttScorp | you mean like going from one version to the next? | 03:39 |
| fellayaboy | sean_, no u cant really just update to fedora...u could dual boot..install fedora as another operating system alongside ubuntu | 03:40 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, you don't understand what a package manager is. There are some package managers that DON'T fetch packages from the internet with dependencies and install it for you. | 03:40 |
| sean_ | Yeah, but I am already dual booting with windows... | 03:40 |
| L1nuxRules | smw ok thats why Im LPI lvl 2 is it? | 03:40 |
| OttScorp | oh.. going from ubuntu to fedora.. no.. you'll need to install fedora.. along side with ubuntu.. dual boot | 03:40 |
| fellayaboy | so when u boot up your machine u can choose between fedora or ubuntu... while in fedora ur ubuntu harddrive space should be avialable | 03:40 |
| fellayaboy | yeah but u could add another one if u want | 03:40 |
| czx | what's LPI? | 03:41 |
| apwbdjp | L1nuxRules, take it literal. Package managers manage packages. Which the rpm executable does pretty much. | 03:41 |
| L1nuxRules | Linux professional institute | 03:41 |
| OttScorp | google it czx | 03:41 |
| yeats | sean_: if you just want to run Gnome3, installing it on Ubuntu is very straightforward | 03:41 |
| yeats | !nounity | sean_ | 03:41 |
| ubottu | sean_: 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 | 03:41 |

| scratchingmyhead | anyway... I get the blocked wine /unix Yes it is an exe | 03:49 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, so can you answer the two questions I gave you? It is the same with dpkg and apt if you prefer to answer using those | 03:49 |
| czx | if I copy a file with cp thing, what will happen with its ACL? | 03:49 |
| sean_ | Thank you everyone, I'm really happy how nice post of the people here are.. *cough* repubican*cough* | 03:49 |
| Pici | apwbdjp: Yes> | 03:49 |
| sean_ | publican** | 03:49 |
| Pici | ? | 03:49 |
| Flannel | sean_: He's gone now, by the way. | 03:49 |
| L1nuxRules | but apt/aptitude is to dpkg as to what yum is to rpm | 03:49 |
| dcherniv | !botsnack | 03:49 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 03:49 |
| czx | it will remain as source or be taken from destination directory? | 03:49 |
| === XDS|AFK is now known as XDS2010 | ||
| L1nuxRules | and if you disagree you need to learn Linux more | 03:49 |
| sean_ | Ah. | 03:49 |
| scratchingmyhead | aeon-ltd I get that with any .exe I try to open... what is the work around or is there one?? | 03:49 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, yes, but you never answered my base question. What problem did dpkg/rpm solve? What problem did apt/yum solve? | 03:50 |
| aeon-ltd | scratchingmyhead: then i'm afraid you may be at a loss, i've had to do a firmware update to a internal mem card reader - no way would it work (plus the risk of corruption) in linux so i used a free beta copy of win7 | 03:50 |
| OttScorp | right click on the exe and set the allow to execute permissions? | 03:50 |
| apwbdjp | Pici, sorry, things went wrong (republican_ left as you can see it) | 03:50 |
| Pici | apwbdjp: ah, okay. | 03:50 |
| L1nuxRules | smw it made admin tasks quicker and easier to automate | 03:50 |
| OttScorp | and with wine.. check out http://www.winehq.org/ to see application compatibility | 03:51 |
| OttScorp | not all windows programs work in wine | 03:51 |
| scratchingmyhead | aeon-ltd free beta of win 7?? does it still exist? | 03:51 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, you are being far too general. What specific problem in admin was dpkg/apt trying to solve? | 03:51 |
| czx | scratchingmyhead, only in illegal torrents | 03:51 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, sorry, dpkg/rpm | 03:51 |
| OttScorp | stop bugging him smw | 03:51 |
| L1nuxRules | smw where did we come to one was a problem? | 03:52 |
| smw | OttScorp, fine :-) | 03:52 |
| Nichola | when does my system need to be connected to the internet? | 03:52 |
| aeon-ltd | scratchingmyhead: i had a old iso | 03:52 |
| scratchingmyhead | :( Thanks anyway for the help. | 03:52 |
| L1nuxRules | this started on the differences ? | 03:52 |
| OttScorp | it saves users having to hunt depencies | 03:52 |
| L1nuxRules | ^^ | 03:52 |
| Nichola | during the whole process or after it installs... | 03:52 |
| sean_ | Other than fedora, what versions would you guys recommend? | 03:53 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, the Ubuntu disk will tell you it wants to configure dhcp network, then make sure you're connected. Best would be to plug to firewire from the beggining | 03:53 |
| OttScorp | Nichola: it would be good to be connected to the net to do the updates as well during the install | 03:53 |
| aeon-ltd | scratchingmyhead: the downloads from microsoft might still exist i'll do some searching; but i'd look for a better way if the update is important - the win7 method took 1 hour to do | 03:53 |
| === ivar is now known as Guest49447 | ||
| smw | L1nuxRules, the point of package managers was to allow packages to be installed and uninstalled. It also allowed you to specify dependencies and conflicts. It kept records of what file belonged to what program. | 03:53 |
| L1nuxRules | versions of what sean red hat or Linux? | 03:53 |
| tonyyarusso | Nichola: During the install process, there is an optional checkbox for "fetch updates from the internet during install", or something to that effect. If you check that, you need an Internet connection. If you don't, you don't. | 03:53 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, rpm/dpkg did that. | 03:53 |
| apwbdjp | OttScorp, I've given him a minimalcd, for the install, he will NEED to be connected. | 03:53 |
| sean_ | L1nux, I'm not sure what red hat is? | 03:53 |
| OttScorp | oh.. sorry apwbdjp | 03:54 |
| OttScorp | didn't realize that :-) | 03:54 |
| L1nuxRules | smw I know just Im looking at it from a more modern view | 03:54 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, apt and yum were added on top to allow for automatic downloading and installing of packages including their dependencies | 03:54 |
| czx | if I copy a file with cp thing, what will happen with its ACL? | 03:54 |
| sean_ | Or how they are different | 03:54 |
| apwbdjp | OttScorp, it's alright. easy to miss things in here ^^ | 03:54 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, if you don't understand the basics, you can not possibly understand the complex :-) | 03:54 |
| L1nuxRules | smw I do understand the complex though sometimes more than the basic :) | 03:55 |
| OttScorp | lol | 03:55 |
| qin | L1nuxRules: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_software_package_management_systems#Linux_distributions | 03:56 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, so... the original debate: how is rpm not a package manager? | 03:56 |
| L1nuxRules | ^^ I am LPI lvl 2 LVL 1 deals with package management but not drunkness :) | 03:57 |
| Nichola | how long is normal to see the choose language screen? | 03:57 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, you picked, and it's still frozen? | 03:58 |
| OttScorp | g'night all.. have a good one | 03:58 |
| Nichola | seems to be...... | 03:58 |
| L1nuxRules | gnight | 03:58 |
| apwbdjp | smw, L1nuxRules, I believe this: rpm is a package manager for the rpm packages, just like dpkg manages .deb packages. both rpm and dpkg have yum and apt that keep track of dependencies, source lists, and downloads. | 03:58 |
| smw | apwbdjp, nope, rpm and dpkg keep track of dependencies | 03:59 |
| weside | So anybody here have probs with the Unity interface?. | 03:59 |
| apwbdjp | smw, hum.. I thought apt did that | 03:59 |
| smw | apwbdjp, yum/apt keep track of source lists and downloads | 03:59 |
| L1nuxRules | smw they dont deal with them though | 03:59 |
| smw | apwbdjp, rpm will stop you from installing a package with a dep not installed | 04:00 |
| L1nuxRules | they do as you say | 04:00 |
| L1nuxRules | smw no it wont --nodeps | 04:00 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 04:00 |
| smw | apwbdjp, yum will fetch the dep as well | 04:00 |
| apwbdjp | L1nuxRules, you can force anything in a machine's throat, a good manager will tell you not to, but you still can. | 04:00 |
| bazhang | smw, apwbdjp L1nuxRules lets move on | 04:01 |
| L1nuxRules | agreed | 04:01 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, hum.. you used the same media as the one you tried to use with the regular cd? | 04:01 |
| Yerushalmi | Every so often, usually when something tries to play a sound, the sound icon disappears from my upper bar, then reappears at full volume - even if sound was previously muted. If I'm trying to prevent popup windows from making "bonk" noises when I'm in class this is extremely inconvenient and irritating. Can someone help me figure out why this is happening and stop it? | 04:01 |
| === gloomer is now known as whereswaldo | ||
| smw | weside, are you here to gripe about unity or ask for advice on avoiding it? | 04:01 |
| === whereswaldo is now known as glomer | ||
| smw | weside, I suggest xfce if you are attempting to avoid it on 11.10 | 04:01 |
| Nichola | if you mean the same usb drive, yes | 04:02 |
| smw | weside, if you are here to make sure others agree unity is bad... yes, there are many of us | 04:02 |
| brjannc | Yerushalmi: can you make it happen right now, if you wanted to? hard to debug intermittent problems :\ | 04:02 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, then it might be faulty, did the installer, at the beggining, give you a menu with a possibility to check the media integrity? | 04:02 |
| Nichola | hmmm, I saw something like that, but I thought it was the hard drive of the computer... | 04:03 |
| weside | Yeah I had Unity crash on me a few times using the dash search thing, and that unconfigurable sidebar launcher thing yeah, I did get XFCE and LXDE/OPENBOX so I can switch sessions, much happier. :) | 04:03 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, no, ubuntu has the ability to check itself before installing, reboot, and do that option | 04:04 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, if that freezes, or fails, then it's the usb drive, you'll have to use another one | 04:04 |
| smw | weside, I tried them all. xfce and kde are my top two choices. After gnome2 of course | 04:04 |
| L1nuxRules | xfce not a bad 2nd to gnome2 | 04:05 |
| Nichola | no, this version doesn't have it, the other one did... | 04:05 |
| smw | +1 L1nuxRules | 04:06 |
| gebbione | pdfs are totally corrupt on ubuntu 11.10 ,,, i can see them all fine on other systems but for some reasons document viewer cannot handle the pdfs properly and shows most of them with bad rendering ... really bad like scrambled background etc. Any idea what is the best thing to do ? libraries or other things missing? | 04:06 |
| Nichola | it has advanced options, but that isn't in the menu | 04:06 |
| L1nuxRules | not used it since mandrake though | 04:06 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, sorry for all the trouble, can you get back to the other disk, and use it? | 04:06 |
| L1nuxRules | I used it because I still do hate kde and used it before gnome | 04:07 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, mandrake... as in before mandriva? xfce has come very far since then | 04:07 |
| Nichola | yeah, I can put it back on the usb.. | 04:07 |
| L1nuxRules | yes before mandriva I used red hat 4 around then also , before enterprise :) | 04:08 |
| weside | I tried the new Gnome Shell too, had cool features but felt kinda like something was missing... Just trying to find the best wm / desktop environment for Ubuntu without sacraficing too many features. | 04:08 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, feel like I wasted your time with the Minimal CD, my bad. Just put it back and check the disk integrity please. Even if I don't see any other possibility. | 04:08 |
| smw | L1nuxRules, mind if I PM you? | 04:08 |
| L1nuxRules | go ahead | 04:08 |
| dr_willis | best wm totally depends on how you work. :-) | 04:08 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, the installer hasn't even gotten to hardware detection yet, the only reason it would freeze would be a faulty media. | 04:08 |
| Nichola | no, prob, I am just feeding my baby... | 04:09 |
| pangolin | Can we please keep the topic in here strictly Ubuntu support, we have a lovely channel full of interesting people for your chatting convenience named #ubuntu-offtopic. | 04:09 |

| fellayaboy | hey is their a known bug in ubuntu that makes the internet faulter when u use transmission? | 04:10 |
| dr_willis | gebbione: it messes up all pdfs or just some | 04:10 |
| Nichola | lol, my little is up and I am feeding her while I work on this... | 04:11 |
| apwbdjp | fellayaboy, faulter in what way? Like die? Or just slow down? | 04:11 |
| gebbione | messes up their visualisation | 04:11 |
| fellayaboy | apwbdjp, well ultimately just shutting itself down..nothing loads..i always have to reconnect wirelessly | 04:11 |
| gebbione | the pdfs are fine if viewed from another machine like with acrobat reader on windows | 04:11 |
| dr_willis | gebbione: it messes up all pdfs ? even real simple ones? | 04:12 |
| fellayaboy | just the laptop itself stops receiving internet... cant browse no internet connects | 04:12 |
| fellayaboy | and im using ubuntu on the laptop | 04:12 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, I'm here for two more hours, and there are many other people here to assist you. Take your time, tell me when you tried with the regular CD. | 04:12 |
| fellayaboy | and im running transmission in ubuntu on the laptop just in case ur wondering | 04:12 |
| gebbione | dr_willis: i saw some pdfs correctly before but the ones i generate by scanning in from my scanner are all fairly complex due to OCR | 04:13 |
| gebbione | and they all fail | 04:13 |
| apwbdjp | fellayaboy, does network manager still says you're online, when that happens? | 04:13 |
| gebbione | other pdfs i downloaded from online are fine | 04:13 |
| fellayaboy | using a wireless signal...however when i use utorrent on windows 7 it works perfect..so its not the router itself having too much traffic | 04:13 |
| fellayaboy | well nothing loads..thats all i can truly say..transmission everythign goes down to 0.00kbps download speed, on any browser it says webpages cant load..then i have to click my wap and reconnect then everything works fine and its only on transmission | 04:14 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 04:14 |
| gebbione | dr_willis: in 11.04 i did not have the problem | 04:14 |
| apwbdjp | fellayaboy, to not ask you too many questions, I'll just suggest this: try deluge torrent client (sudo apt-get install deluge), if that works fine, then it's a transmission problem. | 04:14 |
| fellayaboy | it only occurs when i use transmission | 04:14 |
| fellayaboy | apwbdjp, yeah i talked to #transmission and it said its probably a ubuntu problem | 04:15 |
| fellayaboy | ima see deluge and see if that works | 04:15 |
| apwbdjp | fellayaboy, sure. Let us know. | 04:15 |
| fellayaboy | ill let u know how deluge goes | 04:16 |
| apwbdjp | fellayaboy, to be honest I never liked transmission, I use rtorrent (command line), and deluge some times. | 04:16 |
| fellayaboy | yeah i should just use rtorrent...see if that works..i use it when i ssh | 04:16 |
| smw | +1 rtorrent | 04:16 |

| jrogge | no | 04:22 |
| tonyyarusso | jrogge: Had you saved the document even once, earlier? | 04:22 |

| tonyyarusso | oh | 04:22 |
| jrogge | nope | 04:22 |

| jrogge | usually i don't spend more than 30 mins on a paper so i make myself save it | 04:22 |
| Arcademan | lol jrogge Id use save more :P | 04:22 |
| Yerushalmi | brjannc: Sorry, I didn't notice that you'd answered, another window took my attention. For the most part I can get it to happen pretty reliably. It usually happens whenever I don't have anything using sound, and then I type, say, backspace in KildClient, which gives me a can't-do-this beep. It also happens often when I start playing a youtube video. | 04:22 |
| jrogge | ugh, i guess i learned my lesson :( | 04:22 |
| fellayaboy | well deluge seems to be working fine so far ill give it another 10 to 15 to see if it kicked me off my wlan | 04:23 |
| tonyyarusso | jrogge: yeah - if you had ever saved the contents to disk and then deleted them, we could help you, but if you just typed stuff in and then closed it you're out of luck. | 04:23 |
| brjannc | jrogge: my libreoffice is set up to autosave recovery information every 15 minutes, so it might still be somewhere | 04:23 |
| apwbdjp | jrogge, I guess you'll have to rewrite it. Just keep in mind to save regularly on this kind of job.. | 04:23 |
| fellayaboy | seems to work reallly good too | 04:23 |
| jrogge | brjannac: if it is, where would it be? | 04:23 |
| brjannc | jrogge: (assuming yours is, too -- check Tools->Options->Load/Save->General, and see if the boxes are ticked. if they are, you might not have to give up hope *just* yet | 04:23 |

| jrogge | *that? | 04:24 |
| brjannc | Yerushalmi: no worries. my advice would be to open a terminal window and $ tail -f /var/log/messages, then try and reproduce the problem and see if anything's logging a crash | 04:25 |
| brjannc | jrogge: in libreoffice writer. tools menu, click options, expand the load/save tree, click general | 04:25 |
| jrogge | oh okay | 04:25 |
| jrogge | YES! Save AutoRecovery information every 15 minutes | 04:26 |
| jrogge | so where is that? | 04:27 |

| tonyyarusso | Koter: gs-esp appears to have been merged into the main ghostscript package. | 04:37 |
| Guest22636 | thanks | 04:37 |
| Guest22636 | brjan | 04:37 |
| Koter | tonyyarusso: right- but my drivers' .deb doesn't know that and won't install. | 04:38 |
| fellayaboy | it seems that the problem was not transmission itslef | 04:38 |
| Koter | So I need the old one. I think? | 04:38 |
| jrogge | brjannc, that tools->options->General thing also has save URL's to relative file system and save URLs relative to internet | 04:38 |
| brjannc | jrogge: It may take longer, yes, since I really don't know much about them -- been a long time since I've used one. My suggestion would be to holler out and see if anyone else knows reliable undelete utils | 04:38 |
| tonyyarusso | Koter: I'd probably just force the installation of the driver .deb. | 04:38 |

| zizoo | Hey guys. Could anyone help me with transferring files via bluetooth to my phone? I've been messing with it for a few hours and it's driving me nuts! ._. | 04:39 |
| hex20dec_ | Hey people, I need help with my new server configuration. Can anyone help me? | 04:39 |
| jrogge | well, does anybody know of "unreliable undelete utilities"? | 04:39 |
| fellayaboy | unreliable?? | 04:39 |
| tonyyarusso | Koter: First, make you're you're certain you have any other dependencies it has, then try installing with --force-depends. | 04:39 |
| fellayaboy | u wont something that doesnt work well? | 04:39 |
| brjannc | Yerushalmi: K. you're looking for anything that has to do with sound, gstreamer, segmentation faults, backtraces, lib<anything>.so, ... basically, any sort of hint as to where to go next | 04:39 |
| jrogge | lol i was quoting brjannc | 04:39 |
| tonyyarusso | hex20dec_: Ask your real question and find out. | 04:40 |
| fellayaboy | oh | 04:40 |
| brjannc | jrogge: I said reliable, not unreliable ;) | 04:40 |
| apwbdjp | jrogge, :D He said reliable ^^ | 04:40 |
| jrogge | no, i definitley want something that works | 04:40 |
| jrogge | whoops | 04:40 |
| jrogge | i mis read that | 04:40 |
| Yerushalmi | brjannc: I'm trying to get it to happen. Isn't it typical that when you actually want it to, it doesn't? | 04:40 |
| Koter | tonyyarusso: okay- I'll try that | 04:40 |
| fellayaboy | apwbdjp, hey deluge didnt work for me..as a matter of fact ive been getting kicked off the internet more than often with it just now | 04:40 |
| zizoo | I've been following the directions here ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup ), and now my phone thinks it's paired with my computer, but my computer disagrees.... | 04:40 |
| brjannc | Yerushalmi: Yes. That's called brjannc's law. | 04:40 |
| Yerushalmi | brjannc: LOL | 04:40 |
| brjannc | Yerushalmi: (though i'm sure it predates me by hundreds of years :) ) | 04:41 |
| Floydsprite | apwbdjp what whas the channel for the droid | 04:41 |
| Yerushalmi | brjannc: Sec, I'll close mozilla. BBIAB. | 04:41 |
| apwbdjp | jrogge, I'd suggest a good coffee, and you rewrite it. Maybe you'll just do it better. It's less risky than trying a hazardous undeletion software. | 04:41 |
| yoaino3v | Is there any anti-virus software for linux that will update? | 04:41 |
| apwbdjp | Floydsprite, you mean android? | 04:41 |
| mubuntu | hello, i am using xchat, somone pls tell me how to filter out in&out room messages | 04:42 |
| mubuntu | thanks | 04:42 |
| Floydsprite | yes apwbdjp | 04:42 |
| jrogge | oh gawd, a good coffee sounds amazing right now. okay, might as well stop wasting time and get to work | 04:42 |
| apwbdjp | fellayaboy, can you ping your router while your connexion is working, and then throw in the torrent client? | 04:42 |
| * brjannc nods solemnly at apwbdjp | 04:42 | |
| jrogge | oh hey, is there like some kind of honor system or something i can bump you guys up on? | 04:42 |
| fellayaboy | i didnt ping it but i doubt it would work | 04:42 |
| dr_willis | yoaino3v: i use clamav normally. there are others | 04:42 |
| fellayaboy | ooh hold on | 04:42 |
| jrogge | you guys were pretty helpful even though it didn't work | 04:43 |
| Floydsprite | lol | 04:43 |
| apwbdjp | fellayaboy, if the router stops responding, then it's in the computer, if it still does, then it's bandwidth or ISP stories. | 04:43 |
| brjannc | jrogge: I am all about being uselessly helpful. | 04:43 |
| jrogge | lol, so i'm guessing there *isn't* one? | 04:43 |
| apwbdjp | Floydsprite, simplye #android | 04:43 |
| tonyyarusso | jrogge: correct | 04:43 |
| fellayaboy | cant be isp or bandwidth..like i said i used windows 7 with utorrent and it downloads fast and at huge rates...2MB a second sometimes | 04:43 |
| zizoo | Any help with getting my phone to transfer files via bluetooth? | 04:43 |
| jrogge | darn | 04:43 |
| fellayaboy | and it works without ever messing up | 04:44 |
| jrogge | well, i better get to work | 04:44 |
| jrogge | bye guys, thanks for your time | 04:44 |
| Floydsprite | tryed say i got to id service | 04:44 |
| tonyyarusso | zizoo: I would, if I hadn't failed at the same thing when I tried ;) | 04:44 |
| fellayaboy | ima ping my router and leave it pinging | 04:44 |
| dr_willis | fellayaboy: try the utorrent for linux yet? | 04:44 |
| fellayaboy | and then turn on the torrent client to see what happens | 04:44 |
| fellayaboy | no i havent | 04:44 |
| zizoo | Haha, thanks anyways, tonyyarusso. I'm just getting frustrated. I'll give it another go now I guess and come back if I have no luck. | 04:45 |
| hex20dec_ | Well, I'm just trying to make my server work as it should, or more like the way my previous shared server used to work. After installing Apache2, PHP, mySQL and webmin, everything worked fine except from my sendmail, I've been messing around with it for a month now reading all sorts of not interesting stuff just to get it to work right. I haven't setup sendmail configuration at all, so I need to do that and I also need to setup my | 04:45 |
| fellayaboy | holy moly its out!!! | 04:45 |
| tazthespaz | Please help me I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I just changed my password but now it seems that it was changed to some other password that appears to be five digits long | 04:45 |
| fellayaboy | finally utorrent on linux brb | 04:45 |
| zizoo | Though... should it make a big difference that I am using a dongle, or what brand it is? | 04:45 |
| dr_willis | it could be utorrent us encrypting so the isp is not noticeing it | 04:45 |
| apwbdjp | fellayaboy, I think it's a server edition, command line, nope? | 04:45 |
| Floydsprite | Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services | 04:45 |
| hex20dec_ | I need someone to actually help me out with this whole situation. | 04:45 |
| fellayaboy | yeah it says server | 04:46 |
| dr_willis | fellayaboy: been iut for ages. 32 bit only last checkedi | 04:46 |
| tonyyarusso | hex20dec_: Most Ubuntu users use Postfix for their MTA rather than Sendmail - you'll find more documentation and more people who can help if you give that a whirl. (It's easier too, IMO) | 04:46 |
| Floydsprite | APWBDJP Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services | 04:46 |
| fellayaboy | aww so no client | 04:46 |
| fellayaboy | got my hopes all up for nothing | 04:46 |
| tazthespaz | Please help me I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and I just changed my password but now it seems that it was changed to some other password that appears to be five digits long | 04:46 |
| brjannc | tonyyarusso: I think it's an undeniable fact that postfix is easier than sendmail ;) | 04:46 |
| dr_willis | fellayaboy: it has a web unterface | 04:46 |
| apwbdjp | Floydsprite, then identify with service. | 04:46 |
| unkr | can anyone tell me where do i get PPP concept ?? | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | fellayaboy: so theres no nwed for a client | 04:47 |
| tonyyarusso | hex20dec_: Also, we usually discourage webmin, so guides will be writting with command line configuration in mind. | 04:47 |
| mike1312 | My headphones are disabled in alsamixer by default. How to enable them? | 04:47 |
| Floydsprite | mk | 04:47 |
| Floydsprite | lol | 04:47 |
| tonyyarusso | mike1312: Select them and press "m"? | 04:47 |
| yoaino3v | The mirror will not download for clamav | 04:48 |
| fellayaboy | so i can use it to download torrent but via a web interfae | 04:48 |
| Stanley00 | !pass | tazthespaz | 04:48 |
| ubottu | tazthespaz: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 04:48 |
| mistform | could someone assist me in getting all of my FF bookmarks from my Win partition to Ubuntu? | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | fellayaboy: yes. or do like i do.. and use a remote app on your phone to manage it all. | 04:49 |
| brjannc | Yerushalmi: rehi | 04:49 |
| Floydsprite | so i am 24 and a IT guy for my town one of my buddys told me about irc 3 days ago so i dont know how it all works i dont know what Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services means | 04:49 |
| mike1312 | tonyyarusso: ive tried but it just mutes. My hp are not muted they are disabled | 04:50 |
| tonyyarusso | !register | Floydsprite | 04:50 |
| ubottu | Floydsprite: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 04:50 |
| Yerushalmi | brjannc: Thanks :) So I can't get it to do it again. Grumblegrumble. I bet it'll wait to do it again when I'm in class. | 04:50 |
| fellayaboy | oh wow so u could use ur android to add and delete torrents to it? | 04:50 |
| Yerushalmi | brjannc: Thanks for trying, anyways :) | 04:50 |
| tonyyarusso | mike1312: huh, ok. Driver issue at all? | 04:50 |
| Koter | tonyyarusso: thanks.. driver.. appears... to be installed. I'm running system-config-printer now... | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | fellayaboy: works with other torrent progs also. | 04:50 |
| Tiktalik | !wireless | 04:51 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:51 |
| Goollash | ello | 04:51 |
| fellayaboy | awesome..too tired to configure it now will work with it tomroor...didnt have an .sh just a zip so im confused | 04:51 |
| brjannc | Yerushalmi: no problem. one thing you can do is, next time it happens, just write down the exact time it happens, and come back here armed with that. Then I or someone else can help you look through your logs | 04:51 |
| apwbdjp | mistform, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows/TransferringFilesAndSettings | 04:51 |
| mike1312 | tonyyarusso: im not sure | 04:51 |
| apwbdjp | mistform, that'll help you get them from the windows side, it's just about the same, but with "import" instead of export, on ubuntu. | 04:52 |
| fellayaboy | well it had a *server but idk too tired thanks for telling me its out | 04:52 |
| mike1312 | tonyyarusso: anyway thanks | 04:52 |
| fellayaboy | i have to see this | 04:52 |
| mistform | apwbdjp, that won't help me. | 04:52 |
| apwbdjp | mistform, why's that? can't boot back into windows? | 04:53 |
| Nichola | okay, I am checking my disk... | 04:53 |
| Floydsprite | K see if you guys can help with problem with droid its asking what Defalt channels i put #ubuntu then it ask IDENT not sure what to put there then it ask what IRC server and i put asimov.freenode.net then it ask Port i put 6667 did i do it all right or what and the app is called firc from the droid market | 04:53 |
| mistform | apwbdjp, I am able to boot back into windows. All I want is to move my FF bookmarks from my C drive (I can see it right now) by copying the file to my home folder and moving to proper directory via terminal. | 04:54 |
| mistform | apwbdjp, but I don't know what file I need, I can't find the .json it's looking for even in appdata and Firefox won't recognize anything in import | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: make up a name. or blank | 04:54 |
| brjannc | apwbdjp: I tried that once and royally hosed my linux firefox -- there was something fundamentally non-portable about just copying the data over | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: i tend to use andchat on my android | 04:55 |
| Floydsprite | ok is everything else right Dr. | 04:55 |
| brjannc | apwbdjp: (granted, that's just anecdotal) | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: try it and see | 04:55 |
| Floydsprite | mk one sec | 04:56 |
| apwbdjp | brjannc, you mean you tried the tutorial I've sent? Exporting the datas to a file WITH firefox windows, and then importing them back with firefox ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| brjannc | apwbdjp: ack, sorry. those were meant for mistform :\ | 04:56 |
| brjannc | apwbdjp, mistform: was trying to explain that your method was a good one, and the copy-the-file method didn't work well for me. | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | exporting bookmarks and importing works for me in the past. fir firefox | 04:57 |
| apwbdjp | mistform, hear that mistform? Moving files will probably result in bad things. | 04:57 |
| mistform | lol | 04:57 |
| apwbdjp | mistform, boot into windows, export your files, import them back from ubuntu. Easy. | 04:57 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, sorry I missed you earlier, is it still checking? | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | there are booomark sync extensions out there | 04:58 |
| Nichola | apwbdjp: If I get to a purple screen after the check media test is that a good sign?the | 04:58 |
| Koter | tonyyarusso: annnd... now it says the printer is "not connected". | 04:58 |
| apwbdjp | dr_willis, he's on the same machine, just trying to move them from windows to ubuntu. | 04:58 |
| mistform | apwbdjp, brjannc, that's why I thought firefox would be easy to just copy/paste a backup file. | 04:58 |
| tonyyarusso | Koter: reboot the printer and wait a few maybe? | 04:59 |
| Floydsprite | Dr. it says im in here but im typed hello and my message didnt show up in this chat | 04:59 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, for how long now? | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | apwbdjp: sync extensions will still work B-) | 04:59 |
| Goollash | you're good | 04:59 |
| Nichola | the purple screen has been up for about 1 min... | 04:59 |
| mubuntu | hello, how do i filter out all the in&out room messages? thansk | 04:59 |
| silver_star_iri | Hello , i get this error in my cron.log , touch: cannot touch `/tmp/.getmail_lock': No space left on device . why ? how i can solve it | 04:59 |
| mubuntu | it's clogging my screen ..xchat here | 05:00 |
| brjannc | mistform: I thought the same thing, but it jacked my entire profile on linux when I copied my windows bookmarks stuff in manually. this was firefox 2, but once bitten, twice shy :) | 05:00 |
| Floydsprite | is fIrc dif then irc | 05:00 |
| Koter | tonyyarusso: well- other people in the office are able to print right now. Just not me | 05:00 |
| tonyyarusso | mubuntu: It varies a bit by client, but for mine I think it's /ignore #ubuntu JOINS,PARTS,QUITS | 05:00 |
| tonyyarusso | Koter: ah, hrm. | 05:00 |
| qin | silver_star_iri: Your /tmp is full | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: try msging yourself or make your own channel | 05:00 |
| apwbdjp | dr_willis, they surely will.. actually you're very right, it's more practical. | 05:00 |
| mubuntu | tony: i am using xchat ..thx | 05:00 |
| kamilnadeem | Hi | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | apwbdjp: main reason i switched to chrome. :-) | 05:01 |
| Floydsprite | it says 0 ppl in user list | 05:01 |
| Floydsprite | what irc do you have for your droid | 05:01 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, I'm guessing 2 minuts now. It's not much of a good sign.. | 05:01 |
| kamilnadeem | I am running the default air theme , the pannel below is looking wierd as it should be transperent .? | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: i use andchat | 05:01 |
| kamilnadeem | here http://i.imgur.com/75q4b.jpg | 05:01 |
| unkr | can anyone tell me how to setup ppp devices in ubuntu via command line ????? | 05:02 |
| apwbdjp | dr_willis, I love chrome, if only it had a vimperator extention.. (it has things like it, a little, but still) | 05:02 |
| kamilnadeem | Note I am running Kubuntu 11.10 with KDE 4.7.3 | 05:02 |
| Nichola | yeah, kinda thinking that too. | 05:02 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, can you get another usb drive soon, to test with? | 05:02 |
| Nichola | okay, pressed F2 and it says /init? line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found | 05:03 |
| brjannc | apwbdjp: ye gods, vimperator scares the bejesus out of me. :) | 05:03 |
| tonyyarusso | unkr: You mean for dial-up Internet access? wvdial | 05:03 |
| Nichola | bleh. I don't know.... | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: try /join #irctest in both clients | 05:03 |
| Nichola | ^intit: | 05:03 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, duh? It's been trying to read from cdrom while it's from a USB drive.. Guys does the installer consider a usb drive as /dev/sr0? | 05:04 |
| mistform | brjannc, I am pretty sure I have FF3 on both. I also have nightly on Windows. | 05:05 |
| silver_star_iri | qin: i think so , but how i can emty it and why is full i have more than 400 gig free | 05:05 |
| floydsprite1 | thanks dr. im useing andchat | 05:07 |
| Floydsprite | thanks dr. | 05:07 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, I believe the USB install has troubles with your computer.. you using because it doesn't have a CD drive? or does it have one but you have no other drive to burn a disk? | 05:08 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: i use znc on my ubuntu box and irc to that. it keeps me allways connected here. so i dont need to appear here under 2+ nicks | 05:09 |
| Nichola | okay, just figured something out. I can, and just did burn the minimal install CD to a CD. I couldn't/can't burn a DVD, which is what I have to use for the bigger file... | 05:09 |
| unkr | tonnyyarusso: yaa | 05:09 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, I think all ubuntu installers can hold on a CD.. | 05:10 |
| Nichola | so, I have the minimal install CD now and am trying it. | 05:10 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, anyway, try with the CD now | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | Nichola: what bigger file | 05:10 |
| Nichola | okay, I am at a flashing prompt, hit enter? | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | ive heard the next release willbe over 700 mb.. no more cd limit. | 05:11 |
| apwbdjp | cli then enter | 05:11 |
| tonyyarusso | unkr: You'll probably want to start with this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto Usually the hard part is getting drivers working if you have a "soft" modem. After that configuring is pretty easy. | 05:11 |
| Floydsprite | well ubuntu needs all three legs to run on a hard drive and windows only needs 1 so when my harddrive crashed i had to switch to windows tell i get the new one | 05:11 |
| Nichola | got it, it is going............ | 05:11 |
| Floydsprite | dr. | 05:12 |
| unkr | tonnyarusso: ok let me try | 05:12 |
| mistform | apwbdjp, brjannc, I got it. Someone in #firefox helped me out. moving places.sqlite from win user to ~/.mozilla/firefox | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: huh? legs? | 05:12 |
| Nichola | okay, I am at the choose language screen, english is highlighted red, so do I just hit enter? | 05:13 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: my whold linux setup is on a 32mb flash drive. ;) | 05:13 |
| brjannc | mistform: no explosions yet? | 05:13 |
| Floydsprite | lol metaphors dr. | 05:13 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, yep | 05:13 |
| === zaksoldier_ is now known as zaksoldier | ||
| Floydsprite | wow | 05:13 |
| mistform | brjannc, there is a slight scent of incendiaries... | 05:13 |
| mistform | wait, I guess it's just the friction in the room ^_^ | 05:13 |
| Nichola | no response yet... | 05:13 |
| silver_star_iri | how i can allocate more space to tmp or how i can remove it safely ? | 05:14 |
| apwbdjp | mistform, so it's working fine? | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: 32gb. ;) | 05:14 |
| Nichola | The tab key doesn't work, either.... | 05:14 |
| brjannc | mistform: hehe :) well, good to know that's an option now | 05:14 |
| Floydsprite | oh ok thats much better lol | 05:14 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, you hear the cd drive working? | 05:14 |
| r4y | How do I know if my motherboard has s.m.a.r.t.? so I know if I should install smartmontools. | 05:14 |
| mistform | apwbdjp, I moved the file. Realized I had firefox open so I closed it. Reopen firefox and viola. All bookmarks. all working. | 05:14 |
| Nichola | not right now... | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | Floydsprite: done it with 4gb also | 05:15 |
| pnorman | r4y: Any modern SATA drive should have SMART support | 05:15 |
| apwbdjp | wth.. | 05:15 |
| pnorman | If you're using hardware raid or fake hardware raid SMART might be tougher to get to, but it works fine with software raid | 05:15 |
| apwbdjp | mistform, good for you. I believe the import/export option has been designed to be more version-portable and stuffs. Thanks for letting me know! | 05:16 |
| r4y | I am still knew to all this | 05:16 |
| r4y | Sata drive. I thought my hard drive is a Pata drive | 05:16 |
| pnorman | r4y: How old is your motherboard? | 05:16 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, I really don't see why it would freeze right now.. | 05:16 |
| brjannc | r4y: there shouldn't be any danger in installing smartmontools and running smartctl -a /dev/sda (or whatever) to see if your drive supports it | 05:16 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, when's last time a system was working on this machine? | 05:17 |
| Nichola | well, it has windows 7 on it... | 05:17 |
| r4y | How modern is modern defined here? | 05:17 |
| silver_star_iri | how i can allocate more space to tmp or how i can remove it safely ? | 05:17 |
| pnorman | r4y: Ya, I'd just try it - that's easiest. | 05:17 |
| r4y | Should I say what my motherboard is? | 05:17 |
| apwbdjp | silver_star_iri, you mean the /tmp folder? | 05:17 |
| silver_star_iri | y | 05:18 |
| apwbdjp | silver_star_iri, as install, did you give it a separate partition? | 05:18 |
| silver_star_iri | cron.log tell it is full | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | silver_star_iri: you could look and clean out old stuff in /tmp | 05:18 |
| Nichola | I just purchased this laptop used and since the windows is not activated, I wanted to put ubuntu on it. | 05:18 |
| r4y | mach speed MK8-939A | 05:18 |
| silver_star_iri | apwbdjp: no | 05:18 |
| apwbdjp | silver_star_iri, if not, then it has as much space as you have left in your root partition. | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | Nichola: should have a sticker# on it somewhere. ;) | 05:19 |
| Nichola | but I can get online or whatever from it | 05:19 |
| silver_star_iri | apwbdjp: maybe yes , how i can find out | 05:19 |
| Nichola | ya, should but doesn't... | 05:19 |
| r4y | OK, from what you have said, then I should consider installing smartmontools I guess | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | Nichola: pirates ;) heh.. | 05:19 |
| r4y | Sorry for interrupting you all and thank you for the help | 05:20 |
| pnorman | r4y: looks like it has SATA ports as well as IDE ports. I'd just go ahead install smartmontools and tryit out. | 05:20 |
| Nichola | yup. So, I was just planning to go clean with the system into Linux | 05:20 |
| dr_willis | Nichola: you mean you cant get online? | 05:20 |
| brjannc | r4y: no worries, good luck :) | 05:20 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, he means he can, with Windows 7, means the machine is perfectly healthy | 05:20 |
| apwbdjp | talking to dr_willis. sorry. | 05:20 |
| * dr_willis missed the actual problrm then | 05:20 | |
| apwbdjp | I have to leave, so I'll explain you quick before | 05:21 |
| pnorman | SATA is what modern consumer hard drives use to communicate. Smaller cables, higher transfer speeds. If you're looking to buy a drive it's a lot easier to find a SATA one than an old IDE one | 05:21 |
| zivester | So I have a new ubuntu server with 16gb of RAM... I'm never going to use more then ~8 gigs at a time... anything I can do with that remaining ~8 gigs to make my system faster? | 05:21 |
| pnorman | zivester: I believe it'll automatically make use of it for caching | 05:21 |
| Resistance | zivester: what pnorman said is correct. | 05:21 |
| dr_willis | i agree with pnorman .. zivester let linux handle it | 05:21 |
| apwbdjp | dr_willis, Nichola bought a new machine with Win7 on it, fully working. he's trying to install Ubuntu on it, but whatever way he tried (USB Drive, Minimal CD on USB drive, Minimal CD on actual CD), the installer hangs at the first couple of steps. | 05:21 |
| zivester | I was thinking along the lines of putting /tmp into it or something... dunno if that applies to other applications | 05:22 |
| pnorman | zivester: if you're serving files (e.g. movies, music) then it won't get much out of it. if you're running a database or something, you can tune your DB | 05:22 |
| * pnorman ran out of ram this morning with 16GB | 05:23 | |
| r4y | I think it is from 2006 | 05:23 |
| brjannc | zivester: nah, don't bother, it's usually not worth it. plus, apps that know they need fast scratch space can use /dev/shm instead, which is basically a ramdisk | 05:23 |
| apwbdjp | Nichola, you'll excuse me but I really need to sleep, it's 5AM here and I've got an early train to catch tomorrow. | 05:23 |
| dr_willis | Nichola: one possible work around. do a full normal install from cd, to a flash drive (like a 8 gb one) on a diggerent machine, boot that on the broblem box. if it works.. dd the usb image to the hd. and then use gparted to resize. did that a few weeks ago. | 05:23 |
| mah454 | How can change gdm3 background without change desktop wallpaper ? | 05:24 |
| zivester | okay fine, i guess ill just spin up some extra VM's for kicks... all that memory will never be put to use! | 05:24 |
| apwbdjp | dr_willis, I'm in love with Linux for this kind of things.. I'd like to try this up with Windows ^^ | 05:24 |
| pnorman | zivester: You'd be surprised - it will use it all for caching stuff over time | 05:24 |
| dr_willis | it will be used as cache.. | 05:24 |
| brjannc | zivester: it *will* be! the linux kernel is very aggressive about using spare RAM for disk buffers. | 05:25 |
| dr_willis | bbl got a job. | 05:25 |
| apwbdjp | Good night everyone, you have been awesome. Keep rocking. | 05:25 |
| Nichola | apwbdjp- thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. | 05:25 |
| zivester | yah its all orange right now with `htop` i think that means its cached | 05:25 |
| r4y | Wow, that was crazy. There was no text for a while then all the text that I didn't see appeared | 05:25 |
| brjannc | apwbdjp: night! | 05:25 |
| mistform | apwbdjp, I thought the Import/export would allow me browse the separate partition and find the correct file. Instead it auto searched and said "nothing" or going to Organize Bookmarks > Import/Backup only looks for .json files. | 05:25 |
| mah454 | apwbdjp, heh ... I live in day ... ! :D | 05:25 |
| r4y | I read it all | 05:25 |
| r4y | thank you for the help | 05:25 |
| mistform | apwbdjp, the file I needed (thanks to Peng in #firefox) was places.sqlite | 05:26 |
| zivester | yeep, Mem: 16066 15908 157 0 28 14572 ... 14.5 gigs of cache! geez | 05:26 |
| brjannc | zivester: it's almost unheard of for memory to be "free". | 05:26 |
| r4y | Nichola: You said: there shouldn't be any danger in installing smartmontools and running smartctl -a /dev/sda (or whatever) to see if your drive supports it. | 05:26 |
| r4y | Thank you I will try it out | 05:26 |
| r4y | bye | 05:27 |
| r4y | I am on a live cd of Ubuntu | 05:27 |
| r4y | see ya | 05:27 |
| pnorman | zivester: If you run a logger (like munin) you'll see all the free memory turn into cache as you run stuff. takes about a day of light use for the unused to disappear for me | 05:28 |
| zizoo | Anyone know how to make bluez forget a bluetooth pairing? :/ | 05:28 |
| === glomer is now known as gloomer | ||
| zivester | kool ill have to check that out, tx | 05:29 |
| zizoo | 'Cause I have a screwed up BT pairing to my phone that doesn't work and I can't get rid of it. | 05:30 |
| zizoo | But I need to to run bluez-simple-agent again. | 05:30 |
| bjrohan | Hello all. I have a dual boot system. Is there a gui app that will allow me to do regular backup/image of both my Windows and Linux partitions and store on a USB drive attached to another networked computer? | 05:35 |
| zivester | is there something wrong with the most recent nvidia drivers? I swear my machine was running fine a couple days ago before I updated... now when I run `glxgears` it runs at 10FPS and my X basically comes to a halt | 05:35 |
| === Pilif|Meeting is now known as Pilif12p | ||
| brjannc | bjrohan: are you looking for something to do *live* backups, or would rebooting into a livecd environment be okay? | 05:36 |
| luthfi | my laptop was freezed when I plugout an usb of external harddisk | 05:36 |
| luthfi | i'm using 11.10 | 05:37 |
| bjrohan | brjannc I would prefer *live* backups | 05:37 |
| brjannc | bjrohan: okay, I won't be much help, then. I do offline backups with Redo: http://redobackup.org/ | 05:38 |
| brjannc | bjrohan: but I don't know much about the online backup options | 05:38 |
| bjrohan | brjannc, thanks I will take a look. live backups in the middle of the night that are regularly scheduled, so I don't have to remember to do them myself :-) | 05:39 |
| zizoo | Bleh, fixed it up. Installed Blueman Bluetooth Manager, and it made things much easier. | 05:39 |
| pnorman | bjrohan: I was looking into live backups not too long ago - let me see if anything I found is appropriate | 05:39 |
| bjrohan | In windows I was using Acronis to back-up/image, worked well as it automagically did it every week early Sunday morning, looking to do the same in Ubuntu that would backup all partitions windows and Linux | 05:40 |
| brjannc | bjrohan: I understand :) You could just set up a network share, and then use something like backintime | 05:40 |
| === eric is now known as LLStarks | ||
| jci | join #drupal-support | 05:40 |
| zivester | switching to nvidia post-release updates seemed to fix my card issues... [Recommended] may just be buggy with my card | 05:41 |
| brjannc | bjrohan: the downside to backintime though is that you don't have the shadow-copy feature that windows live backup utils use (i.e., basically taking a snapshot of the disk) | 05:41 |
| pnorman | bjrohan: Oh, adding a windows partition and you want a GUI. My requirement was no GUI. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem#wiki_documented_utilities might help. | 05:41 |
| bjrohan | thanks pnorman | 05:42 |
| pnorman | fwiw, I was leaning towards duplicity, but wasn't sure. i have to back up a RAID array onto smaller drives | 05:43 |
| brjannc | pnorman: duplicity is the rsync on steroids one, right? | 05:43 |
| jbrks | bjrohan, i'm using mdadm software raid.. mdadm software raid setup is not hard with the debian setup.. it takes homework though to know how mdadm works.. i'm sure mdadm works well under ubuntu as well | 05:44 |
| pnorman | brjannc: haven't done enough reading on it. what I really need is the appropriate scripts. rsync meets all my needs, but I don't have the ability to write the scripts to call it to do the backups/restores and keep track of everything | 05:44 |
| brjannc | bjrohan: (backintime is basically an rsync gui, but it adds apple time machine-like features) | 05:44 |
| pnorman | I use mdadm on my server, it works *very* well | 05:44 |
| jbrks | pnorman, you have that server running 24/7? one thing i'd like is powersaving.. i'm working on a sid problem | 05:45 |
| brjannc | pnorman: hey, maybe backintime would work for you, too -- i think it has a command-line version :) | 05:45 |
| pnorman | jbrks: Yes. It only draws about 100W | 05:45 |
| silver_star_iri | how i can find out my tmp folder is partion or not ? | 05:45 |
| jbrks | silver_star_iri, is that a real problem? | 05:46 |
| bjrohan | Ahh, will it also backup NTFS partitions so they can be reinstalled in event of either a hard drive crash, or me seriously messing someting up? | 05:46 |
| jbrks | bjrohan, software raid is meant for 1 Operating system on the machine. | 05:47 |
| pnorman | jbrks: That's 100 W at the outlet, after the UPS. The power supply is woefully excessive (600W) and inefficient at these ranges, so it could be using as little as 50-75W | 05:47 |
| jbrks | bjrohan, for multi-Oses you need "real" Raid. And most motherboards are "fake" raid.. | 05:47 |
| shallow | hi, i have a friend installing gnome shell on ubuntu 11.10 -- i had him install it and gnome-session and when he logs into the "GNOME" session, it's gnome 2.. no other session is gnome shell.. can someone help me out? | 05:47 |
| pnorman | jbrks: it is possible to use fakeraid with both linux and ubuntu - but I bet it's a pain | 05:47 |
| brjannc | bjrohan: i doubt it could be trusted for bare-metal recovery | 05:47 |
| bjrohan | jbrks huh? BTW I am about 3 weeks into using Ubuntu :-) | 05:47 |
| REK_007 | why does my proccy go upto 39x in ubuntu when its set to 40x in BIOS | 05:48 |
| REK_007 | and it goes upto 40x on windows even | 05:48 |
| jbrks | pnorman, they say fakeraid, as far as i think i know, when software raid gets assisted with fakeraid hardware.. | 05:49 |
| jbrks | pnorman, i guess it's simply called "software raid" when no assisted fakeraid hardware is used | 05:49 |
| silver_star_iri | jbrks: touch: cannot touch `/tmp/.getmail_lock': No space left on device | 05:49 |
| pnorman | jbrks: fakeraid is the common term for RAID "controllers" like on most motherboards that offload all the work to the CPU | 05:49 |
| yoaino3v | Can you update the engine in clamav ?? I can't seem to do it. | 05:49 |
| jbrks | pnorman, i have links if you want extra resource to read. | 05:49 |
| jbrks | pnorman, i spent a couple of days studying this.. | 05:49 |
| silver_star_iri | jbrks: can i remove /tmp folder !? | 05:49 |
| brjannc | silver_star_iri: ack no | 05:49 |
| pnorman | jbrks: I don't want to run fakeraid - it wouldn't work across multiple controllers anyways | 05:50 |
| brjannc | silver_star_iri: type df -h in a terminal window | 05:50 |
| jbrks | pnorman, fakeraid is "raid" only if you use the fakeraid hardware.. | 05:50 |
| jbrks | pnorman, you don't need to use fakeraid if you want to use 100% software raid.. | 05:50 |
| pnorman | I'm quite happy with my md setup. | 05:50 |
| silver_star_iri | brjannc: dev /md2 1.9G 621M 1.2G 35% /tmp | 05:51 |
| * yoaino3v hello? | 05:51 | |
| pnorman | 300+ MB/s, 1.4-1.9k iops | 05:51 |
| brjannc | silver_star_iri: then yes, you have /tmp on its own partition, but it's certainly not full | 05:51 |
| silver_star_iri | brjannc: so why i get this cron.log error ?! | 05:52 |
| brjannc | silver_star_iri: that's a good question! unfortunately i don't know the answer :) | 05:52 |
| jbrks | pnorman, the limitation of software raid or "fakeraid" in any OS is bad for dual-boot.. because metadata can be written outside one Oses zone.. | 05:52 |
| silver_star_iri | silver_star_iri: it is server and i use crontab for backup mysql , and mysql file is more than free space (400 mb) | 05:53 |
| silver_star_iri | brjannc: i feel it is an answer | 05:53 |
| kasansweat | okay -- does anyone know a clever way (or a dumb way, hey) to see only the packages you've installed AFTER first installation? | 05:53 |
| jbrks | pnorman, hence hardware raid overcomes this worry.. and anything less than hardware raid means to use only 1 Os. | 05:53 |
| brjannc | silver_star_iri: oh, that's possible -- so you think you're filling up /tmp with your mysql backup, and then getting the touch error afterward? | 05:53 |
| silver_star_iri | brjannc: i think so , how i can allocate more space to tmp partion | 05:54 |
| jbrks | (and i mean "real" hardware raid.. not BS hardwareraid) | 05:54 |
| silver_star_iri | brjannc: or can i empty it ?! | 05:54 |
| brjannc | silver_star_iri: it's not terribly easy to reallocate more space, especially since it looks like you're using mdraid | 05:54 |
| brjannc | silver_star_iri: /tmp should be getting wiped every time you reboot | 05:54 |
| pnorman | jbrks: It *is* possible to use on-motherboard "hardware" raid and dual boot, but it's not easy | 05:55 |
| silver_star_iri | brjannc: so reboot the server !? | 05:55 |
| jbrks | pnorman, i'm not saying it's impossible at all. You have to deal/experiment to make sure your raids from both OS bootups don't kill off each other.. | 05:55 |
| jbrks | pnorman, it's risky and not worth the effort imho.. simply go real hardware raid.. | 05:56 |
| pnorman | jbrks: which starts at $500 or so. if I were in that situation I'd likely not use RAID and go with each OS on its own HD | 05:56 |
| brjannc | silver_star_iri: if that's an option, yes. then df -h again and check that it's getting wiped properly. if not, come back and we can try and address that. ultimately, though, i think you need to modify your mysql backup script to avoid filling up /tmp :) | 05:56 |
| unkr | where i can get tutorials about ldap or NIS ??? | 05:57 |
| jbrks | silver_star_iri, i used to do that.. but i saw no use after i found out about firefox's own ram-only caching.. (tmpfs << type of filesystem works like a ramdisk.. /tmp can be mounted as a tmpfs, "tmpfs" is a filesystem type that lives in ram) | 05:58 |
| dimas_ | is anything i need to know in orden to upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 and not getting a error after uploading the packages? | 06:00 |
| Ycarene | What am I doing wrong, I type "sudo service samba restart" and it says "samba: unrecognized service" | 06:02 |
| unkr | Ycarene: does it install ?? | 06:02 |
| Ycarene | It's running now | 06:02 |
| Ycarene | guess it was smbd, not samba | 06:02 |
| unkr | Ycarene: check services --status-all | grep samba | 06:03 |
| unkr | Ycarene: ya | 06:03 |
| jbrks | pnorman, i'm thinking of getting this.. i'd like to have hardware raid for a particular machine back here.. http://store.lsi.com/store.cfm/3ware_Controllers/SATA_II_PCI_Express_with_RAID_6/9650SE-2LP what you think? not 500$ :p | 06:04 |
| pnorman | jbrks: Looks like it only supports two disks. Might do more with a port multiplier but then you have to buy that as well | 06:06 |

| r4y | I was trying smarttools and I am confused | 06:07 |
| r4y | http://paste.ubuntu.com/736951/ | 06:07 |
| bwzhou | exit | 06:08 |
| r4y | I mean, it's working then, right? | 06:08 |
| pnorman | r4y: the tests take time to complete. try sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | 06:08 |
| pnorman | Ya, it's working. | 06:08 |
| r4y | OK, I need to start over then | 06:08 |
| jbrks | r4y, maybe it's looking for a loaded module | 06:08 |
| r4y | because I did this: | 06:09 |
| jbrks | pnorman, y.. i'm looking for a basic raid1 hardware.. looks like lsi/3war is the best support for win/mac/linux.. | 06:09 |
| r4y | http://paste.ubuntu.com/736953/ | 06:09 |
| r4y | Anyways | 06:09 |
| pnorman | jbrks: ah. I use RAID1 in my desktop and on my server for /boot | 06:10 |
| brjannc | r4y: the long tests run offline, while the disk isn't busy doing anything (see the line saying it'll take about 70 minutes) | 06:10 |
| r4y | Thank you. I am just making sure I am doing this right. | 06:10 |
| brjannc | r4y: but since it didn't complain about running the test in the first place, your drive supports SMART. | 06:10 |
| jbrks | pnorman, yah.. was reading up about that.. installed debian straight off 6.03 and it doesn't need /boot :).. must be the new grub2 features kicking in | 06:10 |
| brjannc | r4y: smartctl -a /dev/sda will print out all the smart parameters for the drive as they are right now | 06:11 |
| pnorman | jbrks: can't boot off of RAID10 | 06:11 |
| r4y | Cool. I went into bios to look for smart and I couldn't find it | 06:11 |
| r4y | yes I hit control-F1 | 06:11 |
| PerfM | r4y, cool my name is r4y too and that happened to mee too! | 06:11 |
| jbrks | pnorman, i don't know extensively of grub2's features.. but i sure can do raid1 without issue.. for anything higher i have no clue.. | 06:11 |
| === Logan|SNL is now known as Logan_ | ||
| jbrks | pnorman, i'm pretty new to raid.. as i was saying i did some research for couple of days.. | 06:12 |
| r4y | I remember not being able to find smart in bios before after a long time of searching everything in bios I could stand looking at | 06:12 |
| jbrks | pnorman, but have known about it for quite some time.. only recently i started performing raid.. | 06:12 |
| pnorman | jbrks: With RAID1 you can use it with only one drive | 06:12 |
| pnorman | r4y: SMART isn't really a motherboard or BIOS related thing, it's the drives | 06:12 |
| jbrks | pnorman, well raid1 takes 2 drives.. but capacity is 50% .. | 06:12 |
| PerfM | omg, bff Logan_ | 06:12 |
| jbrks | pnorman, which is good enough for beginner level like me | 06:13 |
| PerfM | You live here tooo? | 06:13 |
| r4y | OK, thank you for clearing that up for me | 06:13 |
| Logan_ | !offtopic | PerfM | 06:13 |

| PerfM | Logan_, I can read, thanks | 06:13 |
| Logan_ | np | 06:13 |
| jbrks | pnorman, ya i already tested it.. | 06:13 |
| PerfM | just making small talk | 06:13 |
| jbrks | pnorman, i did a poweroutage.. found out how to resync and fix the partition swap space.. | 06:13 |
| r4y | I had always thought it was a motherboard thing for some reason. I need to write this kind of info down | 06:13 |
| jbrks | pnorman, definitely you always need a ups for raid.. | 06:13 |
| jbrks | pnorman, syncing takes *long (software raid) | 06:14 |
| r4y | My middle name is ray | 06:14 |
| PerfM | mine too! | 06:14 |
| PerfM | except with the 4 in it | 06:14 |
| PerfM | I am an original | 06:14 |
| pnorman | jbrks: I think the problem with /boot and RAID levels other than 1 is that the motherboard can't get the information needed to boot since it's scattered across drives | 06:14 |
| pnorman | jbrks: It only takes 2-4 hours on my 6x 1TB drive RAID10 | 06:14 |
| jbrks | pnorman, no, it's grub2.. they're always improving it.. | 06:15 |
| r4y | LOL, I've never seen ray spelled that way. There was someone named ray on here so someone here suggested I register r4y | 06:15 |
| r4y | right now I am not registered though | 06:15 |
| r4y | I could used my registered r4y name if I wanted to | 06:15 |
| dr_willis | im waiting for grub3 to be its own os. :-) | 06:16 |
| jbrks | pnorman, also part of what you're saying is true.. the device chain can be too long for grub2 to do all the sniffing on its own | 06:16 |
| PerfM | maybe I will register r4y so you cannot | 06:16 |
| pnorman | jbrks: I'm using grub2 too. I have it set up so that if any of the drives fails on bootup it will use the /boot from the next | 06:16 |
| PerfM | r4y rythmes with h4y | 06:16 |
| PerfM | and l4y | 06:16 |
| r4y | O no what will I do, lol | 06:16 |

| PerfM | All of that was just worth a kick? | 06:17 |
| PerfM | c'mon | 06:17 |
| bazhang | PerfM, last warning | 06:17 |
| r4y | Sorry, I will not be here for long. But I've said that before and stayed even longer | 06:17 |
| enchilado | PerfM: that was a remove, not a kick | 06:17 |
| PerfM | bazhang, I better get my good material this time then | 06:18 |
| jbrks | pnorman, you think that's a good buy? | 06:18 |
| jbrks | pnorman, lsi looks very good.. someone i spoke to told me they're good | 06:18 |
| pnorman | jbrks: not for me - I need more than 4 drives | 06:18 |
| darkings | hi | 06:18 |
| jbrks | pnorman, well for server, definitely i wouldn't do raid1 that's for sure.. definitely higher.. like raid10 or something else.. | 06:19 |
| pnorman | jbrks: But that card does look good if you just need a two drive RAID. I expect it'd work with ubuntu | 06:19 |
| jbrks | pnorman, but you know.. I use ups.. and if power goes out.. i can get a powerout signal to initiate a shutdown for my machine.. so i think i'm pretty safe | 06:19 |
| pnorman | jbrks: it's fairly common on servers to have the OS on a RAID1 and your data on a RAID10. RAID1 is the safest of course | 06:20 |
| jbrks | pnorman, its' hardware raid.. | 06:20 |
| pnorman | jbrks: you have to be able to manage it still - you don't want to be going into the bios on startup to do everything | 06:20 |
| jbrks | pnorman, so if i build my raid on bios bootup.. any OS below should only see 1 drive.. no need to worry about OS's using softwareraid or fakeraid .. | 06:20 |
| theorem | wohoo | 06:21 |
| dragonlive | cool | 06:21 |
| jbrks | pnorman, that's the thing.. lsi makes really great driver to peruse the status or set a managing hooks for windows and linux.. and with a webfront interface as well.. | 06:21 |

| Abhijit | hi. can i use old gnome themes for gtk appls inside kde? and chaning gtk themes for gtk applications in kde takes restart of that ap to apply help | 06:21 |
| theorem | I'm trying to use 'symrna' to view a few dotfiles --- I didn;t seem to get this installed when I called in opengl -- how can I install it ? | 06:21 |
| r4y | OK, thank you for the help. So I run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" to see the over all health after about 70 minutes or so. | 06:21 |
| === spinnaker is now known as davido | ||
| === davido is now known as davido- | ||
| jbrks | pnorman, i dunno if i'll use windows... but i can use ubuntu+debian for eg.. | 06:22 |
| r4y | Well, from what I can tell, it should be "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda1" with a 1 | 06:23 |
| jbrks | pnorman, thing is i'm starting to play more with VM images.. and i can easily lose hours of virtual machine files.. | 06:23 |
| jbrks | pnorman, btw they even have a repo .. and a company that does so really wishes a good deal for their customers | 06:24 |
| r4y | I meant that sda should be sda1 because I was getting an error message that I couldn't run fsck but when I changed it to sda1 it worked, so | 06:24 |
| jbrks | pnorman, so definitely lsi is worth a try on my part.. even if its just raid1 | 06:24 |
| jbrks | pnorman, btw.. you probably seen how little information or how little real hardware raid is known to be reported from linux raid webpages.. | 06:25 |
| jbrks | pnorman, you've probably seen this http://wiki.debian.org/LinuxRaidForAdmins | 06:25 |
| theorem | is there an equivalent to 'yum provides' with apt-get ? | 06:26 |
| r4y | O, but I get it. Duh, it is like a blank field, sorry sda means sda1, or sda2 and so on. I forgot reading that. I should go | 06:26 |

| jbrks | pnorman, it's part linux distros to see 3ware modules in the kernel tree | 06:26 |
| jbrks | theorem, maybe you can do apt-cache show <packagename> .. it'll say "dependencies" | 06:27 |
| jbrks | Saij, sounds liek you're missing moduleinit something in the initrd.. | 06:28 |
| theorem | jbrks: here's what I see : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/smyrna.1.html | 06:28 |
| Saij | Would that be likely off a litterally 5 minute old clean install? | 06:29 |
| jbrks | Saij, you using a stable repo? | 06:29 |
| jbrks | Saij, like.. are you using the right kernel as well? | 06:29 |
| Saij | Have not touched it, clean install of Xubuntu 11.10 x64 | 06:29 |
| Saij | 3.0.0.12 generic | 06:29 |
| Saij | if I break the boot after initramfs fails in "recovery" mode, I can then resume boot normally | 06:30 |
| Saij | but it will never boot clean on its own | 06:30 |
| jbrks | Saij, what do you mean? | 06:30 |
| Saij | lets say I boot it using the recovery mode option. It will throw the various ata1 slow to respond messages, then the various udev messages, then it will stop | 06:31 |
| jbrks | Saij, was this an upgraded system? maybe you have a problematic module or something | 06:31 |
| Saij | i break with CTRL+C | 06:31 |
| Saij | not upgraded, clean install as stated previously | 06:31 |

| plomb | Anyone know how to mount an external usb drive? | 06:35 |
| jbrks | plomb, it should be automounted if there's filesystems on it on the desktop | 06:35 |
| Jordan_U | hoverbear: That error is caused by the grub stored in the mbr+embedded area being out of sync with the modules in /boot/grub/. | 06:36 |
| Saij | I've found the lines where it starts the ata1: link sis slow to respond, lease be patient messages | 06:36 |
| Saij | after about 5 of those it goes to ata2, port disabled, ignoring | 06:36 |
| jbrks | Jordan_U, that makes sense.. because it says "elf" (executive linking format) | 06:36 |
| plomb | jbrks, I'm not sure if there is a filesystem on it or not. Also I don't know what device node the kernel has allocated. | 06:36 |
| jbrks | plomb, you use cli? did you try the disk<> menu option ? | 06:37 |
| jbrks | plomb, you should be able to access partition editing via gui | 06:37 |
| plomb | huh? | 06:37 |
| hoverbear | Jordan_U: I declared a seperate boot partition, maybe that's the issue | 06:37 |
| plomb | I just wanna be able to do "mount /mnt /dev/whatever" | 06:38 |
| hoverbear | plomb: mount /dev/whatever /mnt you mean | 06:38 |
| jbrks | plomb, omg.. you need help.. any "filesystem" resides in zones called "partitions". If you want the whole usb to have 1 filesystem, then the minium and maximum is 1 partition. | 06:38 |
| plomb | or if there is no fs, then to be able to do "mkfs /dev/whatever" | 06:38 |
| jbrks | plomb, no.. | 06:38 |
| jbrks | plomb, you need to use a partition editor.. | 06:38 |
| plomb | hoverbear, Yes. That | 06:38 |
| plomb | is what I mean. | 06:38 |
| jbrks | plomb, allocate a partition, then make a filesystem on that 1 partition.. | 06:38 |
| jbrks | plomb, the gui tools can do this in 1 step, it'll do those two things.. | 06:39 |
| jbrks | plomb, you using 11.10 ? | 06:39 |
| hoverbear | jbrks: cli tools work fine. | 06:39 |
| jbrks | hoverbear, yah.. but he never uses cli.. | 06:39 |
| plomb | I really don't have the time to learn a gui. | 06:39 |
| jbrks | hoverbear, see? | 06:40 |
| jbrks | it's even hard gui wise.. | 06:40 |
| plomb | But whatever I use, I will need to find out what device node has been allocated. How do I do that? | 06:40 |
| Saij | so i take it this hardware config is a lost cause with Linux? | 06:40 |
| Jordan_U | hoverbear: That would only be an issue after running grub-install manually and incorrectly, the Ubuntu installer handles separate /boot/ partitions just fine. | 06:40 |
| hoverbear | Jordan_U: I'll try again to make sure. Because it's definately not a general issue, ubuntu is the only one I'd have this issue on | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | hoverbear: Can you get the boot info script output I requested (from a liveCD/USB)? | 06:41 |
| hoverbear | Jordan_U: If this fails I will. | 06:42 |

| hoverbear | Jordan_U: Using no seperate /boot it worked fine. | 06:46 |

| r4y | I don't use empathy though | 08:00 |
| jbrks | why that's pretty helpful | 08:00 |
| WIGGMPk1 | i tried to get rid of it, it doesnt want to leave lol | 08:00 |
| r4y | I hate it when that happens | 08:00 |
| ImJake | lol wtf difference is there betwen pico and nano | 08:01 |
| WIGGMPk1 | well, alot if your talking about sizes | 08:01 |
| ImJake | would u mind explaining it to me? | 08:01 |
| r4y | Like for instance when I install something in wine, then I want to get rid of it later, then I have to go to /home/username/.local and delete it under programs | 08:02 |
| ImJake | as opposed to what tho? | 08:02 |
| WIGGMPk1 | well pico is 10^-12 and nano is 10^-9 | 08:02 |
| WIGGMPk1 | thats negative 12th power and so on | 08:03 |
| ImJake | oh i see | 08:03 |
| ImJake | makes sense | 08:03 |
| Jordan_U | ImJake: Please watch your language (even abbreviated). "readlink -f /usr/bin/pico". | 08:03 |
| ImJake | so pico is generally better for smaller files then? | 08:03 |
| ImJake | and kk jordan | 08:03 |
| katsrc | update-apt-xapi suddenly takes up 50% resources, why is that? | 08:03 |
| WIGGMPk1 | are you talking about editors or sizes, dont understand your question | 08:04 |
| hemangpatel | i cant delete my folder | 08:05 |
| hemangpatel | & cant change permission | 08:05 |
| Jordan_U | !details | hemangpatel | 08:05 |
| ubottu | hemangpatel: 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 ..." | 08:05 |
| hemangpatel | how can i delete | 08:05 |
| hemangpatel | i use 11.10 ubuntu | 08:06 |
| hemangpatel | i want to install xampp for php project | 08:06 |
| WIGGMPk1 | r4y: reinstalled empathy, it retained my account information even with --purge, I dont like that | 08:06 |
| hemangpatel | i downloaded xampp 1.7.7 tar.gz | 08:07 |
| r4y | sorry that idea didn't work | 08:07 |
| === zubi123 is now known as ajhdkahk11212 | ||
| Jordan_U | hemangpatel: We don't support xamp. It's trivial to install LAMP though. | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | !lamp | hemangpatel | 08:07 |
| ubottu | hemangpatel: 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+) | 08:07 |
| hemangpatel | ok | 08:07 |
| hemangpatel | lampp | 08:07 |
| WIGGMPk1 | r4y: no, I am confirming, I just loaded up empathy and it had all my accounts listed =/ | 08:07 |
| hemangpatel | then i open my terminal | 08:07 |
| hemangpatel | put tar file on desktop | 08:08 |
| r4y | I meant to go back in and change it so it doesn't have the info then un-install, but just because you didn't say so doesn't mean you didn't try that. | 08:08 |
| hemangpatel | i write cd Desktop in terminal | 08:08 |
| hemangpatel | then sudo -s | 08:08 |
| Jordan_U | hemangpatel: Please try to keep your messages on one line rather than splitting them up. | 08:08 |
| hemangpatel | then to unzip i write tar xf (file name) -c /opt | 08:08 |
| r4y | Or maybe it can't be changed. I wonder where the info is stored? | 08:09 |
| hemangpatel | then it creates one folder called lampp on desktop (with one small lock icon) | 08:09 |
| hemangpatel | i cant delete that folder noiw | 08:09 |
| hemangpatel | right now i 'm on windows xp | 08:09 |
| hemangpatel | so now i can do ??? friends | 08:09 |
| hemangpatel | what can i do ? | 08:10 |
| WIGGMPk | r4y: manually removed them all, gonna try and reboot but I think you might of solved my issue mate =) | 08:10 |
| r4y | Well if I didn't I hope you find the answer you need in the future | 08:10 |
| usr13 | hemangpatel: sudo | 08:10 |
| pnorman | hemangpatel: Try to ask your questions on one line. It sounds like the directory is owned by root, so use sudo rm ... to remove it | 08:10 |
| pnorman | where ... is the appropriate stuff | 08:11 |
| hemangpatel | yes pnorman | 08:11 |
| hemangpatel | how use sudo rm ? | 08:11 |
| unkr | how to check whether the user is available in the irc ?? | 08:11 |
| unkr | ONLINE | 08:11 |
| auronandace | hemangpatel: first you need to be in ubuntu, not win xp | 08:11 |
| r4y | I use gksudo nautilus to handle files, so I don't mess up | 08:12 |
| Jordan_U | hemangpatel: run "gksudo nautilus ~/Desktop" and use the window that comes up to delete the directory. When you're done be sure to close that window. | 08:12 |
| r4y | Ha, funny | 08:12 |
| sasori | i was digging my own system to learn ubuntu properly when i cat /etc/shadow , i saw my password encrypted..what encryption is used for this user pwd ? | 08:12 |
| hemangpatel | in terminal "gksudo nautilus ~/Desktop" ? | 08:13 |
| Jordan_U | hemangpatel: Yes. | 08:13 |
| hemangpatel | what it does ? | 08:13 |
| wiggmpk | r4y: thanks for the advice, worked out in the end =) | 08:13 |
| pnorman | sasori: iirc, they're salted hashes of some kind | 08:13 |
| r4y | Cool | 08:13 |
| usr13 | hemangpatel: It gives you a nautilus session with admin privledges | 08:14 |
| hemangpatel | ok | 08:14 |
| sasori | i see | 08:14 |
| usr13 | hemangpatel: You've been told two ways to do it. | 08:14 |
| r4y | gksudo nautilus opens the graphical user interface with super user rights | 08:14 |
| pnorman | sasori: see man shadow for more information, as well as man 3 crypt | 08:14 |
| hemangpatel | any other simple way ? | 08:14 |
| usr13 | hemangpatel: You can use sudo to do it at the command-line. sudo rm -rf /path/to/directory | 08:15 |
| sasori | ok thanks pnorman :) | 08:15 |
| Jordan_U | usr13: -f is almost never appropriate with rm -r, and can make accidents worse. | 08:16 |
| hemangpatel | usr13 : like "sudo rm -rf /Desktop" for dektop ? | 08:16 |
| usr13 | hemangpatel: i.e. sudo rm -rf ~/Desktop/lampp | 08:17 |
| hemangpatel | ok thanks usr13... | 08:17 |
| Jordan_U | hemangpatel: Yes, but be *very* careful with that command. Any mistake is completely irrecoverable. There is no undelete. | 08:17 |
| r4y | I open a terminal and drag and drop the files or folder you want to delete, then you will know what the path is | 08:17 |
| hemangpatel | ok i"ll take crae | 08:17 |
| hemangpatel | *care | 08:17 |
| hemangpatel | bye bye to all & thanks to all | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | hemangpatel: I would recommend using "gksudo nautilus ~/Desktop" until you're more familiar with the terminal. | 08:18 |
| r4y | I agree | 08:18 |
| hemangpatel | Jordan_U : OK | 08:18 |
| r4y | wait | 08:18 |
| r4y | One more thing | 08:18 |

| ubottu | r4y: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:19 |
| usr13 | r4y: I think we gave him enough information. He'll get the job done | 08:19 |
| r4y | You get my drift | 08:20 |
| r4y | sorry | 08:20 |
| pnorman | Does anyone know of a way to check where in a file a process is reading? I can do it with lsof -o -p pid but this reports it in hex, which I then have to convert and turn into human-readable units | 08:20 |
| r4y | OK, then I came to ask something here. http://paste.ubuntu.com/736999/, I says passed, so it must be OK, BUT, These are the lines that concerned me: | 08:21 |

| Seventoes | I can't seem to get ip6_conntrack to load up in lucid | 08:21 |
| nitzs | When I press the keyboard volume control keys, how does it notify the notify-osd daemon? | 08:22 |
| pnorman | r4y: reading smart responses is always somewhat of an art. | 08:23 |
| r4y | Thank you for speaking at all. Well, I don't get it. I guess I can Google it for now. | 08:24 |
| pnorman | r4y: It did an extended test without error so I wouldn't be inclined to worry too much. maybe it found a bad block and remapped it, which is fairly normal | 08:24 |
| r4y | OK, I should more on then. I've been adressing a bad blocks problem for a while. It said I had bad blocks then I used DBAN then there were no bad blacks | 08:25 |
| r4y | then I used SpinRite, and it said I don't have bad blocks | 08:26 |
| r4y | I meant blocks | 08:26 |
| KillaByte | does anyone know how to add video drivers in opensuse? | 08:26 |
| Seventoes | KillaByte: Why would you ask that in #ubuntu? o.o | 08:26 |
| Mafia-Azul | lol | 08:27 |
| r4y | Thank you for the help and sorry for over posting and hitting enter too much. | 08:27 |
| KillaByte | Being that some people might use more than one ....Dumbass | 08:27 |
| usr13 | r4y: Did fsck -y repair for you? | 08:27 |
| pnorman | r4y: keep in mind that the drive could fail at any time, even if SMART is reporting okay. that's what backups are for. | 08:27 |
| Seventoes | KillaByte: Chillax bro. Channels have topics for a reason. Go to #opensuse | 08:27 |
| r4y | fsck said the filesystem is clean | 08:28 |
| r4y | e2fsck said the filesystem is clean | 08:28 |
| r4y | disk utility said the same | 08:28 |
| r4y | I also ran: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-force-fsck-filesystem-check-on.html | 08:29 |
| usr13 | r4y: Then it appears that the data you have on the drive is safe for now and is readable. But as always, be prepaired for failures in the future. | 08:29 |
| r4y | Everything came clean. My ram is fine because I ran memtest from boot | 08:29 |
| r4y | I am backed up. | 08:30 |
| Seventoes | anyone know how to get conntrack working for ip6tables in lucid? | 08:30 |
| r4y | I read that even new hard drives have bad blocks | 08:30 |
| pnorman | r4y: that drive has a surprisingly low power_on_hours for a 320 GB PATA drive - did you just get it recently? | 08:30 |
| pnorman | r4y: I'd be as confident in the drive as any - some SMART errors can safely be ignored | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | backup the bacckups | 08:30 |
| pnorman | r4y: they've always had back blocks, what you have to worry about is when they start getting lots of them and when they get more than they can remap around | 08:31 |
| Seventoes | modprobe ip6_conntrack says it can't find the module | 08:31 |
| pnorman | s/back/bad | 08:31 |
| r4y | I've had it for I think less then a year. I think it was 4 or so months ago, but I can't remember | 08:31 |
| usr13 | r4y: So, did it work? fsck was done during reboot? | 08:31 |
| r4y | Yes | 08:31 |
| usr13 | r4y: Then you're good to go. Hard drives always have bad blocks. It's normal. | 08:32 |
| r4y | I have also tried this command: shutdown -rF now which didn't seem to do anything other then reboot | 08:32 |
| arcsky | anyone here got a asrock 3d with ion2 ? | 08:32 |
| r4y | ya, I know. I said this before: >I read that even new hard drives have bad blocks | 08:32 |
| r4y | But it's good to be reminded, so I don't make the mistake of reminding others as well as myself of the same thing. Remember to back up always | 08:33 |
| r4y | I meant of not reminding other. | 08:33 |
| bullgard4 | gnome-tweak-tool > Advanced Settings > Window > Action on title bar middle-click allows to select 'Lower', 'Menu', 'Minimize', 'Shade'... What is the effect of selecting 'Lower'? | 08:35 |
| r4y | sorry for the errors in my typing. If it came out like I thought it, it wouldn't be so bad. Sometimes that's a good thing, but only when I think through and correct what I am posting before posting, so I am sorry for that. | 08:35 |
| r4y | Thank you and bye :) / | 08:35 |
| dr_willis | bullgard4: lowers the window below oithers | 08:35 |
| dr_willis | moves it under others | 08:36 |
| bullgard4 | dr_willis: Do you mean that this command puts the focus away from this window? | 08:36 |
| dr_willis | try it and see | 08:37 |
| bullgard4 | dr_willis: I have tried it before I posted here. I was not sure what the effect is. | 08:37 |
| dr_willis | its brings other windows to the top. | 08:37 |
| bullgard4 | dr_willis: Thank you. | 08:37 |

| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 09:02 |

| gf45 | @lio: you can choose that when you login i think | 09:20 |

| lio | only to make it work | 09:30 |
| lio | because i tried all the solutions without success | 09:30 |
| LSymonds | lio: I don't understand what you mean... | 09:31 |
| LSymonds | lio: Have you installed restricted drivers? | 09:31 |
| optimusM | im duel booting ubuntu and windows but windows is freezing on boot up | 09:31 |
| lio | yes | 09:32 |
| optimusM | how do i fix this?? | 09:32 |

| LSymonds | lio: I don't understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to increase the resolution? | 09:32 |
| optimusM | ?? | 09:32 |
| LSymonds | optimusM: Have you done a startup repair? | 09:32 |
| optimusM | how? | 09:32 |
| LSymonds | optimusM: A windows CD | 09:33 |
| optimusM | ok ill try that thank you.. | 09:33 |

| r4y | Is optimusM still around? | 09:37 |
| r4y | I found this, but I don't know if it would help him: | 09:37 |
| r4y | http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/CaseStudies | 09:37 |
| elky | LSymonds, i don't know that one can get a screenshot with a non-working video card... | 09:38 |
| r4y | It's only the part at the beginning | 09:38 |
| r4y | He could try though | 09:38 |
| r4y | I meant LSymonds | 09:38 |
| lio | there is errorrs somthin about comptibilty with ABI module | 09:39 |
| LSymonds | elky: Yeah, I probably meant a camera shot :P | 09:39 |
| LSymonds | r4y: That website is pretty interesting! | 09:40 |
| IceSpark | sorry to get off topic a little but to be on 2 channels is 2 nick names needed? | 09:40 |
| LSymonds | IceSpark: I think you register the nick with Freenode. | 09:40 |
| LSymonds | Thus, one nickname is needed. | 09:41 |
| r4y | Ya, maybe some day I will try dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu. I am afraid to because if I want to reverse something it might be bad. Always backup things onto another hard drive | 09:41 |
| haylo | someday ?? just try it | 09:42 |
| IceSpark | yes i have,but every time i try it says already logged in but i cant talk in the room? or maybe the room is just dead,was the backtrack channel but seems like no one talks i guess | 09:42 |
| haylo | youll be fine | 09:42 |
| r4y | I don't have Windows on a disk | 09:42 |
| LSymonds | Why Windows XP? | 09:42 |

| LSymonds | Problem = solved :3 | 09:42 |
| r4y | I have Windows XP on a computer but it only came with restore disks | 09:42 |

| IceSpark | ive dual booted with windwos 7,xp,and vista you be fine | 09:45 |
| sasori | question: what the hell is "tar xvfjp" ? | 09:45 |
| sasori | all i know is tar czf , tar tzf, tar zxf | 09:45 |
| r4y | It's not like I hate Windows. They are all tools, but I like Ubuntu better. I can get it to look better | 09:45 |
| IceSpark | sasori, to unpack .tar files | 09:45 |
| jon____ | hi i need help with this cronjob. what does it do: [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) ! -execdir fuser -s {} 2>/dev/null \; -delete | 09:46 |
| sasori | i see, thanks :) | 09:46 |
| IceSpark | yes although i know that but to be honest i have never used there for not sure i even know how lol | 09:46 |
| sasori | what you mean? IceSpark | 09:47 |
| dr_willis | jon____: you might want to ask in #bash | 09:47 |
| r4y | I've read bad things about dual booting Windows and Ubuntu, but if I had Windows on CD I would try it. Anyways, I stayed to help people, but I am not helping so I should leave. Thank you for talking to me. | 09:47 |
| r4y | Take Care. | 09:48 |
| llutz | jon____: find and delete files in /var/lib/php5/ which are older than file"maxlifetime" and not in use | 09:48 |
| IceSpark | sasori, the command you asked about.that i said its to unpack .tar files, i know what its for but i have never used it so not sure how to even use it myself | 09:48 |
| dr_willis | llutz: was faster than me. heh | 09:48 |
| llutz | dr_willis: sry, won't happen again :) | 09:48 |
| sasori | IceSpark: if that's the case, what tar stuff do you usually use ? | 09:48 |
| jon____ | llutz: because i noticed the webmin service often crash after this command runs. not all the time only sometime. now i have 2 questions. 1) Why does it give me this output: "PHP Warning: Module 'mcrypt' already loaded in Unknown on line 0" 2) Is it safe to remove this cronjob | 09:49 |
| r4y | I meant you seem to have things covered and I was helping for a while, but I don't know what else to add, bye | 09:49 |
| IceSpark | r4y, ive never had isues there are proper ways to uninstall ubuntu from a dual boot | 09:49 |
| r4y | I have yet to try | 09:49 |
| dr_willis | I knew it was deleting stuff with time requirements at least | 09:49 |
| r4y | It will be fun | 09:49 |
| IceSpark | sasori, not many i usually just use the software center since most things i want are all in there, also using apt-get install | 09:50 |
| sasori | if you used wubi for dual booting, you can easily remove it | 09:50 |
| llutz | jon____: 1. idk, 2. idk better to ask in #php | 09:50 |
| jon____ | llutz: alright i will, thanks | 09:50 |
| dr_willis | and webmin is.. well.. not well liked. | 09:50 |
| llutz | jon____: right, forget webmin :) | 09:51 |
| sasori | IceSpark: thanks | 09:51 |
| jon____ | llutz: why? | 09:51 |
| llutz | !webmin | jon____ | 09:51 |
| ubottu | jon____: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 09:51 |
| somsip | sasori: extract verbose from-file using-bzip-decompressions preserve-permissions | 09:51 |
| IceSpark | sasori, yup yup although i really want to get kubuntu but dont have strong enough laptop at the moment so im running backtrack5 as my main OS | 09:51 |

| rhin0 | you have to generate it linda | 10:24 |
| rhin0 | it's not there by default | 10:24 |
| dr_willis | what makes a mss2 anyway | 10:24 |
| rhin0 | if you need it to hack about it -- there is a way of getting it - google how to "generate" it linda | 10:25 |
| LSymonds | awaad: Two seconds. | 10:25 |
| rhin0 | hack about with it | 10:25 |
| linda | rhin8 wow this Ubuntu is not really like other *nix flavors I have used | 10:25 |
| r0gue | i know that computer but i have an online windows pc at work place but an offline ubuntu pc at home, and keryx is working in windows but it is not displaying anything in ubuntu, i mean its showing a different language | 10:25 |

| dr_willis | dang spell auto corrector | 10:26 |
| linda | rhin0, I would think sudo touch or just vi xorg.conf would do the trick? | 10:26 |

| rhin0 | no idea -- you have to generate it though -- it's just not there to keep things tidy | 10:27 |
| dr_willis | x has not needed a xorg.ci | 10:27 |
| LSymonds | awaad: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg vlc | 10:27 |
| rhin0 | some X utilities will generate it | 10:27 |
| LSymonds | awaad: Have you tried that? | 10:27 |
| dr_willis | x has not needed a xorg.conf for some time | 10:27 |
| linda | rhin0, Yeah I came from Debian. But I think I remember how I should set it up. | 10:27 |
| rhin0 | what i'm telling linda dr_willis is that if you really need it it can be created (generated) from the x configuration - so you can alter things manually -- xorg.conf is a flatfile | 10:27 |
| rhin0 | you have to be careful with it linda | 10:28 |
| linda | rhin0, yeah I am a little worried since I am using the GPU in my i7 2600 using this machine for VT-d work in a VM. Thats why I did not play with it. | 10:28 |
| rhin0 | well if you do always backup copy xorg.conf to xorg.conf.bak -- so If you lose X you can just copy the backup file back onto it and then restart X (startx) | 10:29 |
| llutz | rhin0: if one really needs to setup xorg-stuff, /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ should be used | 10:29 |
| linda | rhin0, this system is set up to use the VT-d/VT-x that is in the Sandy Bridge 2600. | 10:29 |

| ssta | llutz: that's true, but almost ALL advice you'll find on websites for problems will assume that you have an xorg.conf and tell you how to hack on that | 10:30 |

| ssta | llutz: that page gives 2 lines of (woefully inadequete) explanation of the xorg.conf.d way. The rest of it assumes xorg.conf | 10:34 |

| Guest86830 | I'm running a pretty crappy HP Pavilion a1720n and Ubuntu 11.10 runs LIKE CRAP on it. Any ideas on what I might need to upgrade to get it running smoothly? | 10:36 |
| LSymonds | awaad: Not that I know of , sorry. | 10:37 |
| ssta | Guest86830: either better gfx, or use a faster/lighter destop environment than unity | 10:37 |
| awaad | LSymonds: Okay no problem | 10:37 |
| awaad | Thanks for help | 10:37 |
| Guest86830 | ssta: By gfx, you mean graphics card? Sorry, hardware is Mandarin to me... | 10:38 |
| r0gue | Guest86830, use some lightweight env such as xfce | 10:38 |
| ssta | Guest86830: yes. | 10:38 |
| Guest86830 | The thing is, I WANT to use Unity and don't mind at all upgrading. I just don't know what to upgrade lol | 10:38 |
| ssta | Guest86830: more memory is almost always a good upgrade. For unity, better graphics hardware will help | 10:39 |
| mandaro90 | ciao | 10:39 |

| r0gue | Guest86830, then use Linux Mint in that distro upgrading is not compulsory whereas in ubuntu upgrading is necessary | 10:39 |
| ssta | I won't worry about why you'd actually want unity... :) | 10:40 |
| ssta | r0gue: upgrading is compulsory in ubuntu? How so? | 10:40 |
| hacktosh | HI! I lost some movies on my phone (BB curve 9300) and i want to set up this lost movies. But I have problem, I install a software to do this. So I install this with wine because it's a software for windows, but it does not want to read my phone cause the phone is not on the wine emulator but on linux. So how I can get my lost movies (of my phone) on ubuntu ??? can somebody help me please. | 10:40 |
| Guest86830 | ssta: yes, I am purchasing a GB or 2 as well. I'm having loads of trouble with gfx as I have NO experience with it at all | 10:40 |

| ghabit | Hello. How to change mouse scroll sensitivity? | 11:05 |
| linda | Guest80264, that you need to have huge blobs of compiled code. Depends on how much you want to spend and what you are going to do. | 11:05 |
| r0gue | ghabit you cant change your mouse scroll sensitivity | 11:07 |
| fabzor3 | hi | 11:07 |
| ghabit | r0gue, no way, it scrolls sso little for me. I have to scroll SO much ^) | 11:08 |
| r0gue | you can only hold you scroll button continuously and drag up or down | 11:08 |
| ghabit | r0gue, is it a bug? | 11:08 |
| r0gue | i think your scroll wheel must be loose | 11:08 |
| linda | Is it Ubuntu that does not have xorg.cong by default? | 11:10 |
| MonkeyDust | linda: for now it does, but in the future, it will be replaced by wayland | 11:12 |
| linda | Never really seen a GNU/Linux flavor like this one. | 11:12 |
| ssta | it's kinda in transition at the moment while they try to make Unity useable for real work | 11:12 |
| ghabit | r0gue, what do you mean loose? | 11:12 |
| r0gue | ghabit, i THINK your scroll wheel might not be having a grip | 11:13 |
| linda | MonkeyDust, Yes I am looking forward to wayland. I love X but the fact that you do not have to monkey around in userland to talk to the kernel should give a huge speed increase. | 11:13 |

| awaad | MonkeyDust: What is medibuntu ? | 11:23 |
| sasori | question..my ubuntu lappy is not visible in the network..i mean, i can't see it in my windows network | 11:23 |
| szal | r0gue: so far, all Ext drivers for Windows (at least the free ones) have in the end proven unsatisfactory; I regularly had filesystem corruption due to using one in the past | 11:23 |
| sasori | what to do? | 11:23 |
| szal | sasori: do you have a Samba server running on your lappy? | 11:23 |
| Rider_ | g'day | 11:24 |
| r0gue | acknowledged szal | 11:24 |
| usr13 | sasori: Are you talking about sharing files over the network. If so, install samba | 11:24 |
| sasori | am using windows 7 here in the machine am using to chat with you via chatzilla | 11:24 |
| sasori | the other lappy i have is ubuntu 11.04 | 11:24 |
| zjb | me to | 11:25 |
| szal | sasori: that's not an answer to the question | 11:25 |
| Rider_ | Is it possible to have a 2 screen set up, in Ubuntu, where you have a completely different X session on each monitor? | 11:25 |
| sasori | szal: i dont' have a samba server in my current machine | 11:25 |
| Rider_ | versus the 'sepperate X session' setting on the nvidia settings panel. | 11:25 |
| sasori | is that another linxu distro ? | 11:25 |
| usr13 | sasori: No. | 11:25 |
| szal | sasori: that explains your problem; install and set up a Samba server | 11:26 |
| usr13 | !samba | sasori | 11:26 |
| ubottu | sasori: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 11:26 |
| sasori | ok | 11:26 |
| ssta | Rider_: yes, but not easily...and sharing keyboard/mouse between them would be tricky | 11:26 |
| Rider_ | ssta: I wouldn't mind having to "switch" between which session is active | 11:26 |
| Rider_ | ssta: the point is so I can have a session that remains open and running while I mess around on the other one | 11:27 |
| ssta | Rider_: you'd have to have two seperate xorg.confs for it...pointing at different screens | 11:27 |
| usr13 | Rider_: Yea, sounds like what you want is a KVM switch. | 11:27 |
| somnium | hello, I have a problem in ubuntu server where my lvm disk is no longer mountable or workable at all. It seems that the server setup caused it to not have a certain file type anymore but the LVM information is all there and disk is healthy. Anyone that can help with fixing this or do I have to format the whole lvm disks? | 11:27 |
| Rider_ | usr13: Do you have a link on how to set that up maybe? :) | 11:28 |
| usr13 | Rider_: You just plug it in. | 11:28 |
| Rider_ | usr13: Oh wait, that's for different machines | 11:28 |
| _spt_ | somium : boot from Live CD and run recoverery | 11:29 |
| Rider_ | usr13: I'm looking for such a set up, but on a single machine | 11:29 |
| stephan | r0gue: it just was the question if i need to install laptop-mode-tools for laptop machines | 11:29 |
| turgon | hi all, i'm in trouble with mono after upgrading from natty to oneiric, anyone can share a bit of wisdom ? | 11:29 |
| somnium | _spt_: recovery? hmmm how do I recover that LVM partitions like that? | 11:29 |
| linda | omg, I am about to eat this computer. Where the heck is xorg.conf. I tried touch, nano, sudo xorg -configure. GDM looks crazy. I just need to change a few things in xorg. Anybody know how to do that? Unity was so annoying that I removed it. I feel much more at home in cmd. | 11:30 |
| Rider_ | ssta: so I'd have to have 2 xorgs, and then start 2 sepperate x sessions referring to each of them? | 11:30 |
| usr13 | Rider_: A single machine? Not sure what you mean. | 11:30 |
| ssta | Rider_: yes | 11:30 |
| Rider_ | urs13: I have one machine, with 2 monitors. I want an X session on each of them | 11:30 |
| ssta | Rider_: I'm sure it's possible...but I'm also sure that you'll have to hack on the conf files and the startup scripts yourself to make it happen...the point and puke tools do NOT have the flexibility required | 11:31 |
| usr13 | linda: There probably is not an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. | 11:31 |
| r0gue | stephan, i think the tutorials apply to laptops as well as desktops | 11:31 |
| Rider_ | ssta: I suspected as much :) | 11:31 |
| usr13 | Rider_: Do you have a dual head Video Card? | 11:31 |
| Rider_ | usr13: I do | 11:32 |
| ssta | Rider_: why do they have to be different sessions BTW? dual head is much easier | 11:32 |
| linda | usr13, thats were it should be on all *nix systems but not on Ubuntu =/ Did a updatedb and then locate and still can't finde it. | 11:32 |
| stephan | r0gue, system works like a charm OOTB, just wondering because i did not need to install extra tools as on gentoo for example | 11:32 |
| Rider_ | ssta: You mean 'twin view'? | 11:32 |
| Yagwit | Wubi gives me permission denied even as Admin. Any tips? | 11:32 |
| ssta | Rider_: or xinerama | 11:32 |
| LSymonds | What do you mean yagwit. | 11:32 |
| usr13 | Rider_: Like this?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATI-Radeon-7500-128-MB-DDR-PCI-Video-Card-Dual-VGA-Head-/280640668009?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item41577cc169 | 11:32 |
| usr13 | linda: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf* | 11:33 |
| Yagwit | Ubuntu installer says permission denied after it gets to about 98% | 11:33 |
| Rider_ | usr13: Yeah, but from a brand where you can do something with it :P | 11:33 |
| Jonii | Hey, can I change caps lock into ctrl somehow? | 11:33 |
| r0gue | in that case google is your best friend | 11:33 |
| usr13 | linda: xorg.conf file is not used in most cases. | 11:33 |
| Rider_ | ssta: The prominent problem I've run into so far is that, as a gamer, not all apps I want play too nicely with that | 11:33 |
| turgon | i seem to have /usr/bin/mono segfaulting during installation of package mono-gac. According to the output it seems it has something to do with libpthread | 11:33 |
| usr13 | linda: What are you trying to do? | 11:33 |
| ssta | ah | 11:34 |
| turgon | what package should i reinstall to get things fixed up ? | 11:34 |
| r0gue | in that case google is your best friend, stephan | 11:34 |
| linda | usr13 I did that and then tried ls -al to really make sure that it was there. Nope | 11:34 |
| Jonii | Like, when I press caps lock, the system recognizes I pressed ctrl | 11:34 |
| Rider_ | ssta: Also, when I crash my X (don't ask, it happens) I'll want to restart just the one where I'm messing on, not the one that has IRC/IM clients on it | 11:34 |
| somnium | _spt_: I don't follow what you exactly mean with recovery of it. Since there seems to be no filesystem type on the lvm partition? | 11:34 |
| ssta | Rider_: xnest can help with the second problem | 11:34 |
| r0gue | i notice that when someone logs out, he leaves behind a msg on irc, how do i do that? | 11:34 |
| ssta | it's (kinda) like screen for X | 11:35 |
| usr13 | Rider_: Click on System -> Preferences -> Display | 11:35 |
| linda | usr13 I am using the GPU in my Sandy Bridge 2600 to set up a VM using VT-d/VT-x. All that is working but I was told my the guest machines that I needed to tweak my linux host. | 11:35 |
| sasori | hmmm..so this samba thing should be installed in my ubuntu box, and then my windows box will be able to see the files in ubuntu ? ..would this enable me to use only one mouse /keyboard in both machine, while the mouse/keyboard are plugged to my win7 ? | 11:35 |
| LSymonds | No Sasori. Just use Synergy. | 11:36 |

| sasori | LSymonds: am confused with this synergy, do i need to install it in both machine? | 11:36 |
| Rider_ | ssta: Still, I think if I just get 2 X sessions, I solve all my problems with a single solution | 11:36 |
| usr13 | linda: xrandr with no arguments will show you the options. | 11:37 |
| Rider_ | ssta: I don't mind the set up time that much :) | 11:37 |

| ssta | Rider_: well, I've done it and had is switch with ctrl-alt-f7/f8. Not with displaying both at once though...I'm SURE it should be possible | 11:37 |
| Rider_ | ssta: Right, that's exactly what I'm looking for, except that they both display at once | 11:38 |

| 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 | 11:38 |
| Rider_ | ssta: Do you happen to have any of that set up lying around? So I can look through how you did it? | 11:38 |
| usr13 | linda: WHat video card do you have? | 11:38 |
| ssta | Rider_: I had one controlled by gdm, and one started with a script so I could bypass the normal startup of X and do what I wanted. For your wants, you would probably need to have synergy in there too | 11:39 |
| stephan | mh, my CPU Fan is constantly @ 3200 rpm. can i change that adaptively? | 11:39 |
| ssta | Rider_: I do, but it's at work | 11:39 |
| linda | usr13 no we are using the ones built into the CPU. The reason is that Mesa and the graphics stack is FOSS. | 11:40 |
| usr13 | linda: sudo Xorg -configure | 11:40 |
| Rider_ | ssta: Couldn't I just have a startup script that starts another X session as I log into gdm? | 11:41 |
| linda | usr13 that should work but does not =/ Getting a bad feeling that is some Ubuntu thing. Normally on Debian etc that is the way you do things. | 11:41 |

| marek_ | hi, I tried installing Oneiric to a disk were already win764bit has been installed in efi mode. After installation it would not boot (althoug I set the partition to install grub to to /dev/sda1, the efi partition). Using the livecd I managed to check the efi partition. There was one dir called "ubuntu" with grub.efi inside. However, with efibootmgr I could see that there was one entry "DVD"... | 11:53 |
| marek_ | ...and one entry "os loader "(I assume win7). After adding the ubuntu/grub.efi entry with efibootmgr I rebootet but would still directly boot into win. Checking again with the live cd I discover that my boot entry has been removed from nvram. Is anyone here who could help me ? | 11:53 |

| 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 | 11:53 |
| r0gue | stephan if you increase cpu freq then you should increase fan speed as well or else your sys can get unstable and can even crash | 11:54 |

| LSymonds | nightwalkerkg: Is it an nVidia card? | 12:24 |
| AnttiM | r0gue: ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386 | 12:24 |
| nightwalkerkg | LSymonds: No,it's an ATI Radeon card. | 12:24 |
| AnttiM | would you recommend Unetbootin? | 12:26 |
| r0gue | wait AnttiM asking someone on a different channel and did you use usb live creator from ubuntu.com? | 12:26 |
| AnttiM | so far I have tried LinuxLive USB Creator and Universal USB Installer | 12:26 |
| LSymonds | AnttiM: Unetbootin is good, but use the latest version (65 I think). | 12:26 |
| AnttiM | ok | 12:27 |
| r0gue | yeah try that | 12:27 |
| r0gue | AnttiM is your flash drive ok or does it become corrupt bcos if the reason is the latter one then try from another flash drive | 12:29 |

| r0gue | why? | 12:32 |
| AnttiM | I just want to have a bootable OS which I can use anywhere | 12:32 |

| r0gue | AnttiM just burn that iso to a CD it will make it live as well as installable | 12:35 |
| kamilnadeem | ??? | 12:35 |

| zxiest | Hello everyone | 13:55 |
| zxiest | Assuming I attached /dev/sdf to my Ubuntu, how can I access the files on it/ | 13:55 |
| ikonia | mount it | 13:55 |
| zxiest | ikonia it is mounted... | 13:55 |
| ikonia | zxiest: then open the file manager and look at where it's mounted | 13:56 |
| Fuchs | zxiest: /mount (-t filesystem) /dev/sdfn /media/someexistingfolder | 13:56 |
| Fuchs | zxiest: mount without an argument should show you where it is mounted | 13:56 |
| zxiest | Fuchs I see ... I have a virtual instance on EC2 .. I'll check where it's mounted =) Thanks :-) | 13:56 |
| zxiest | ikonia I will see where the file manager for my instance is.. Thanks! :-) | 13:57 |
| AnttiM | Can anyone tell me what's this aufs mount failed error and how to get past it? | 13:57 |
| AnttiM | I'm trying to run Ubuntu from a USB drive | 13:58 |
| unkr | AnttiM: does it boot ?? | 13:58 |
| AnttiM | yes | 13:58 |
| kamilnadeem | Can anyone using chrome/chromium check that this site http://brasscrescent.org/ opening correctly ? | 13:58 |
| AnttiM | first I get to a graphical load screen and then I get a message: "(initramfs) aufs mount failed | 13:58 |
| AnttiM | what does it mean? | 13:59 |
| unkr | AntiiM: how to make the usb bootable ? via unetbootin?? | 13:59 |
| AnttiM | yes | 13:59 |
| Toph2 | Kamiccolo,,, works for me | 13:59 |
| AnttiM | I used UNetbootin | 14:00 |
| unkr | AnttiM: ok | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | AnttiM: you may want to try some other tools at pendrivelinux, or just dd the iso file to a flash drive. could be unetbootin dident make the flash right. OR it could be a bad iso file. You did check its md5sum? | 14:01 |
| AnttiM | I already have tried three different usb creators, two different iso files and two different usb sticks | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | did you CHECK the md5's ? | 14:02 |
| AnttiM | how | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | !md5 | 14:02 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | for 11.10 you can image the iso file to a flash drive also. if you have some sort of 'dd' tool for whatever os you are using. | 14:03 |
| AnttiM | dd tool? | 14:03 |
| === ivar is now known as Guest36499 | ||

| dr_willis | assuming you are on linux.. and your flash is sdb.. | 14:05 |
| AnttiM | I'm on Windows | 14:05 |
| dr_willis | if thats all jibberish to you.. then i suggest you dont use dd. | 14:05 |
| dr_willis | there are similer tools for windows. | 14:05 |

| __james___ | jrib: im on ubuntu server | 14:19 |

| yeats | chroot: I have | 14:23 |
| yeats | chroot: this assumes that the machine you're running has X on it | 14:23 |

| chroot | but virt-manager is a gui tool, | 14:25 |
| chroot | can ssh work with gui? | 14:25 |
| yeats | chroot: if you do 'ssh -XC' ('X' means add X forwarding, 'C' means compress it) | 14:26 |
| yeats | chroot: and if the machine you're connecting from has X installed | 14:26 |
| chroot | yes, i installed desktop on server already | 14:27 |

| himitsu | How can I mount a partition that I can't see in /dev/disk? | 14:58 |
| zxiest | himitsu do fdisk -l to see the partitions you have :-) | 14:58 |
| bastidrazor | himitsu: can you see it in 'sudo fdisk -l'? | 14:58 |
| compdoc | himitsu, fdisk -l doesnt work? | 14:58 |
| compdoc | heh | 14:58 |
| brjannc | Guest61030: To see the dependencies of that deb you downloaded, you can do dpkg-deb -I <debfile> | 14:58 |
| zxiest | So my system is stopping when there's a partition that's not found and is asking me to press a key to continue. Is there a way to continue by default? | 14:59 |

| codehotter | but I can't find out where it is set | 15:00 |
| brjannc | codehotter: do you want to set it just once, for one terminal session, or forever? | 15:00 |
| codehotter | forever | 15:00 |
| compdoc | _calum, not sure what you mean by "after putting it back on the USB drive" but clonezilla does work. Of course its sometimes a god idea to practice with it. | 15:00 |
| brjannc | codehotter: open up ~/.bash_profile with gedit or your favorite editor, then add unset IBUS_ENABLE_SYNC_MODE | 15:01 |
| nibbler_ | qxt, what are you discussing? thought it was about gdm.... | 15:01 |
| _calum | compdoc: say I delete the image from usb to free space on usb, then put the image back, can clonezilla still restore it? | 15:01 |
| Guest61030 | Oh, also, is there a way to get rid of the popout scroll arrows on the right side of the terminal, and instead have the pre-11.10 scrollbar? | 15:02 |
| compdoc | _calum, oh, you are coping the image somewhere else? | 15:02 |
| compdoc | copying | 15:02 |
| _calum | compdoc:Yeah to another pc | 15:02 |
| compdoc | should be fine | 15:02 |
| codehotter | brjannc: OK, that will solve my problem. What about my curiosity: the variable must be unset by default. Where is it set? | 15:02 |

| Guest61030 | brjannc: well I was able to reinstall everything except libc6, libgcc1, libstdc++6 and libgl1-mesa-glx | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | vooze: ive heard that windows 7 can be imaged to a usb with dd also. | 15:25 |
| elz89 | vooze: try unetbootin | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | vooze: other windows versions.. i dont think so. go ask in #windows about them | 15:26 |
| Tixos | compdoc: no, i was hoping i could get an answer here | 15:26 |
| elz89 | might also need that thing that came after BartPE, but I don't care for that stuff these days ;-) | 15:26 |

| bekks | dr_willis: btw thats not "burning" but just doing something with an usb ;) | 15:27 |
| Tixos | instead of the latest i want an older version | 15:27 |
| dr_willis | bekks: most likely, you cant.. | 15:27 |
| dr_willis | bekks: you would have to get the driver/installer from the company web site i imagine. | 15:27 |
| dr_willis | if its not in the repos.. then jocky wont see/know about it. | 15:27 |
| bekks | dr_willis: ack. | 15:28 |
| Guest61030 | brjannc: Is there a way to build a package from source using apt-get -b that includes the debugging symbols? | 15:28 |
| brjannc | Guest61030: Okay, I wouldn't worry about the first three. For the mesa-glx lib, here's a workaround (ignore the mesa-dri package): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/859188/comments/16 | 15:28 |
| dr_willis | same for Tixos - if you want an older ati driver. you would most likely need to try the installer from the ati web site. | 15:28 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 859188 in apt (Ubuntu) "can't apt-get install --reinstall when foreign-arch version is present (E: Internal Error, No file name for libgl1-mesa-glx)" [Low,Triaged] | 15:28 |
| Tixos | but dr_willis there are many reasons ubuntu devs build them for the OS | 15:28 |
| Tixos | so its this package i want to use | 15:29 |
| Tixos | they must be around somewhere? | 15:29 |
| dr_willis | Tixos: there might be ppa's of older ones.. | 15:29 |
| ssta | Guest61030: often there's a target in debian/rules that leaves debug symbols in. If not then you can probably edit it and create one | 15:29 |
| bekks | Tixos: Yes, they are - most likely on the mailing lists. | 15:29 |
| dr_willis | perhaps ask on askubuntu.com . | 15:29 |
| brjannc | Guest61030: I'm sure there is; unfortunately, I don't do any C development on debian-based systems, so I don't know much about apt and building from source. I know occasionally there are -dbg or -debug packages you can install as alternatives | 15:29 |
| Tixos | grr | 15:29 |
| elz89 | That bug reminded me of a problem I can't fix right now, I get a foreign-arch message on every apt-get install I do, because once I was following some instructions, didn't use common sence, and marked i368 as foreign. It is not on this particular system, so how can I remove this entry? | 15:31 |
| himitsu | [18:17] <himitsu> Is there a way to make sure my hard drive is detected? | 15:31 |
| Guest61030 | brjannc: okay I tried what you suggested for the libgl1-mesa-glx package and reinstalled everything that I could and it still doesn't work | 15:31 |
| Guest61030 | urgh | 15:31 |
| Guest61030 | ssta: how might I do that? | 15:31 |
| brjannc | Guest61030: after reinstalling that many libraries, you'll probably need to reboot before you can adequately test | 15:31 |
| Guest61030 | Okay I will reboot then | 15:31 |
| ssta | Guest52887: don't use -b, just "apt-get source foo", then go to the debian/ directory and have a look in the rules file (it's a makefile). LOok and see if there's a debug target. If so then you can "debian/rules <whatever the debug target is called>" | 15:33 |

| Newbeeans | # Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0 under that I have options snd-hda-intel index=0 then I saved | 17:05 |

| bekks | diabolical187: This isnt a backtrack support channel. | 17:06 |
| diabolical187 | backtrack is built off of ubuntu, ok | 17:06 |
| zykotick9_ | diabolical187, cross-distro upgrading is impossible (or should be). | 17:06 |
| bekks | diabolical187: It isnt Ubuntu. | 17:06 |
| BluesKaj | !backtrack | diabolical187 | 17:06 |
| ubottu | diabolical187: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 17:06 |
| tazzer | i typed it without the quotes and i got "Authentication Token Manipulation Error" pwconv should have fixed it but then i got an error that said "unable to lock /etc/passwd" | 17:07 |
| fhtagn | diabolical187: you could keep /home and anything user specific should be kept. But I doubt you configured a webserver in /home, so I dunno... | 17:07 |
| diabolical187 | bekks maybe i just need to add the repos to get the drivers and pentesting | 17:07 |
| bekks | diabolical187: This is not a backtrack support channel, for the secod time :) | 17:07 |
| xangua | diabolical187: you want backtrack¿ make a fresh install of backtrack and please stick to the topic: Ubuntu Support | 17:07 |

| diabolical187 | fhtsgn: ya a 60 gb webserver and tons of databases isnt worth losing | 17:08 |
| oCean | diabolical187: use #backtrack-linux for support, please don't continue here | 17:08 |
| jrib | tazzer: investigate the lines in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow for your user | 17:08 |

| Salihk | it totally freezes | 17:08 |
| tazzer | ok what do you want me to do with them and yes bekks i was in recovery mode | 17:08 |
| zykotick9_ | tazzer, and why where you using "pwconv"? I had to look up what that app did - not commonly used, i'd say. | 17:09 |
| jrib | tazzer: look for abnormalities | 17:09 |
| bekks | tazzer: Then go into the recovery mode again. | 17:09 |
| _s3gfault | Salihk, i had a similar issue and had to disable turn off touch pad while typing to make it go away | 17:09 |
| tazzer | i got pwconv from this article http://mohammednv.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/authentication-token-manipulation-error-when-changing-user-passwords-in-linux/ | 17:09 |

| dr_willis | copying stuff to /opt/ would require the proper permissions. and/or use of sudo. | 17:26 |
| tucemiux_ | anyone here ever used a virus scanner on ubuntu to scan hard drives? | 17:26 |
| hemangpatel | solution ? | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | tucemiux_: theres several out. yes.. | 17:26 |
| bekks | tucemiux_: I bet someone did. | 17:27 |
| myraft | anyone know how to uninstall svn 1.7.1 from Ubuntu 11 - I have tried apt-get autoremove etc | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | hemangpatel: linux basics.. 'sudo cp thefile /path/to/put/it/in' | 17:27 |
| tucemiux_ | dr_willis, but I mean, have you personally tried some that work | 17:27 |
| iceroot | myraft: sudo apt-get remove subversion | 17:27 |
| bekks | tucemiux_: Just ask your question :) | 17:27 |
| tucemiux_ | bekks, yeah but i mean, hve you personally tried any that works? | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | tucemiux_: clamav works. i imagine the others do also... | 17:27 |
| myraft | iceroot - tried that | 17:27 |
| bekks | tucemiux_: I am sure it doesnt help you in any way if I say yes or no. | 17:27 |
| myraft | I see svn there after that | 17:27 |
| iceroot | myraft: remove not autoremove | 17:27 |
| hemangpatel | how to copy folder ? | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | I think theres like 3 differnt av apps out for linux. unless ive missed some. | 17:27 |
| iceroot | hemangpatel: cp -r | 17:27 |
| iceroot | myraft: output of "dpkg -l subversion" | 17:28 |

| tucemiux_ | bekks, if you had personally tried and knew from experience it would actually helped if you said yes | 17:28 |
| dr_willis | hemangpatel: you may want to read up on some bash command line basics.. OR carefully run the nautilus filemanager as root via 'gksudo nautilus' (and close it when you are done) | 17:28 |
| hemangpatel | please need full command | 17:28 |

| ulderigo | I just upgraded to 11.10 but might have stopped the package updates prematurely. When I try to install Wine, it tells me to install ia32-libs, which tells me to install ia32-libs-multiarch, which tells me to install several i386 packages. If I try to install any of them then I'm told that lots of packages, such as banshee, nautilus and ubuntu-desktop will be removed (which I don't want, I think?). It seems there can't be 64-bit and 32-bit | 17:36 |
| ulderigo | versions of those libraries at the same time. What should I do? | 17:37 |
| myraft | Iceroot - had 1.6 working, but needed Java HL so figured might has well upgrade - since synaptic did not give me 1.7 went around running the source | 17:37 |

| zykotick9_ | ulderigo, i've only seen what happens in this channel, but it appears that 32bit libraries can cause the removal of the 64bit libraries (exactly what multi-arch was suppose to avoid)? I have no personal experience with it - good luck. | 17:41 |

| myraft | brb | 17:44 |
| hemangpatel | can write XP SP3 ? or XPSP3 is good ? | 17:45 |
| zykotick9_ | clio, mounting NTFS requires more options then you are using! that -rw isn't going to do anying. | 17:45 |
| iceroot | clio: you must use ntfs-3g | 17:45 |
| iceroot | clio: wihtout ntfs-3g you can only read | 17:45 |
| clio | iceroot, ntfs-3g didnt work... | 17:46 |
| iceroot | !didntwork | clio | 17:46 |
| iceroot | .. | 17:46 |

| myraft | iceroot - which svn shows /usr/bin/svn , but svn command does nto work | 17:47 |
| iceroot | myraft: restart your terminal | 17:47 |
| bastidrazor | myraft: if you use 'checkinstall' instead of 'make install' then youcan use dpkg -r to remove. makes it much easier. | 17:47 |
| iceroot | myraft: dont know how to reset the PATH cache so restart the terminal should work | 17:47 |
| zykotick9_ | hemangpatel, try "/media/X<TABKEYHERE>..." to see if it auto completes the path | 17:48 |
| clio | iceroot, the error reads "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-3g'3 but Im quite sure its an ntfs volume... | 17:48 |

| ssta | arooni-mobile: chsh | 17:48 |
| iceroot | clio: normally ntfs-3g is installed by default on ubuntu | 17:48 |
| jrib | iceroot: hash -r should work in that circumstance (myraft) | 17:48 |
| iceroot | jrib: ah good to know, thanks | 17:49 |
| myraft | iceroot - will figure out the paths and stuff, atleast for now can continue work | 17:49 |
| iceroot | clio: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 17:49 |
| myraft | jrib - what is hash -r | 17:49 |
| myraft | ? | 17:49 |
| clio | bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/737447/ | 17:49 |
| myraft | forgive my ignorance | 17:49 |
| iceroot | clio: after that "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/foo /media/foobar" | 17:49 |
| jrib | myraft: type « help hash » in your bash shell | 17:49 |
| clio | iceroot, ok | 17:50 |
| myraft | jrib - don't want to play games | 17:50 |
| myraft | later dude | 17:50 |
| myraft | jrib - sorry | 17:50 |
| clio | iceroot, strange that it wasnt installed ... i didnt even think to check | 17:50 |
| intel352 | hola ubuntuites. I'm attempting to make a package debian-compliant, anyone have any tips/examples when altering source to change file path references, for instance? dealing with c/c++, I'd think the use of constants to replace hard-coded references would be great, but I'm not sure what's available within the realm of c/c++ and automake, etc. | 17:50 |
| bekks | myraft: Thats not a game, but a valuable clue :) | 17:50 |
| MishkaEchoes | hey guys I've left my ubuntu box running for awhile and when I came back to it unity broke | 17:51 |
| MishkaEchoes | I've been following http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/04/missing-top-and-side-panels-in-unity.html | 17:51 |
| iceroot | clio: dont know if 11.10 is still installing it as default but i think so | 17:51 |
| MishkaEchoes | but it hasn't helped me fix my problem | 17:51 |
| myraft | jrib - bekks , just realize my mistake on top of my ignorance - | 17:51 |
| myraft | sorry guys | 17:51 |
| myraft | thanks | 17:51 |
| MishkaEchoes | when I tried sudo service gdm restart I get gdm: unrecognized service | 17:51 |
| puff | My sound stopped working. I'm on 11.10 with xubuntu-desktop, on a thinkpad t520. I tried rebooting and I tried fiddling with the volume buttons and I tried the steps listed in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 17:51 |
| chrisreichel | Hi there | 17:51 |
| clio | iceroot, it seems to have done so on my other machines... strange but hopefully this will work =) | 17:51 |
| zykotick9_ | MishkaEchoes, if you're using 11.10, it doesn't use gdm - try "sudo service lightdm restart" i believe | 17:52 |
| chrisreichel | Guys, I've upgraded the amount of memory in my computer, from 4GB to 8GB, The system became in a unusable state given the overall slowness | 17:52 |
| chrisreichel | had to put the 4GB back.... | 17:53 |
| chrisreichel | Does anybody have a clue of whats happening? | 17:53 |
| clio | iceroot, the mount command seems to have worked. Is it safe to run a chown? | 17:53 |
| chrisreichel | I'm running a 64bit version, and I made the memtest -> no error | 17:53 |
| MonkeyDust | chrisreichel: you may need PAE to address more memory | 17:54 |
| MishkaEchoes | I tried the service restart recommended and it did restart, but sadly my unity bar on the left is still broken | 17:54 |
| MonkeyDust | may need* | 17:54 |
| MishkaEchoes | and I don't have a top bar with system information like clock etc | 17:54 |
| zykotick9_ | clio, you can't apply POSIX permissions to NTFS drives - so chown/chmod won't work - you need to specify this in the mount command somehow. | 17:54 |
| chrisreichel | MonkeyDust even running in 64bit OS? | 17:54 |
| zykotick9_ | MonkeyDust, PAE doesn't apply to 64bit installs | 17:54 |
| MishkaEchoes | I've reset compiz to defaults even though I never touched anything in compiz to begin with | 17:55 |
| urlin2u | MishkaEchoes, the refresh in compiz is problematic, have you run unity --reset and done a reboot? | 17:55 |
| zykotick9_ | chrisreichel, no (PAE doesn't apply to 64bit) | 17:55 |
| cih997 | Hi, In gnome-shell 3.0.x I used ALT+TAB to change windows and ALT+~ to change windows in groups. Since gnome-shell 3.2.x ALT+~ doesn't work. Anyone has solution? | 17:55 |
| MonkeyDust | ok, "may need" ;) | 17:55 |
| clio | zykotick9_, ah ok. Im using pysdm to automount at boot time... i believe this edits the fstab file. is that an appropriate way to handle this? | 17:56 |
| zykotick9_ | clio, i don't know pysdm - but fstab could be used (with the proper options) to make the NTFS read/write | 17:56 |
| chrisreichel | I thought that was a mtrr problem | 17:56 |
| hemangpatel | how to remove permission for perticular folder ? | 17:56 |
| llutz | <MonkeyDust> ok, "may need" <- not at all, PAE is a (useless) 32Bit extension, pointless to mention if the already runs 64bit | 17:56 |
| PrototypeX29A | hi | 17:56 |
| clio | zykotick9_, ok thank you | 17:56 |
| Dave-Maydew | Can I ask a quick question? I know you guys are busy | 17:56 |
| chrisreichel | I checked the mttr options from kernen and enabled some options in grub | 17:56 |
| dcherniv | !ask | 17:57 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 17:57 |
| urlin2u | Dave-Maydew, yes | 17:57 |
| PrototypeX29A | i recently upgraded to 11.04 and now the scrollbars in all GTK applications are kind of unusable, can I change it back to the previous behaviour? | 17:57 |
| hemangpatel | how to remove permission for perticular folder ? | 17:57 |
| arooni-mobile | how would i make tmux start upon ssh login to my server? i'm using bash if it matters. | 17:57 |
| dcherniv | hemangpatel, what do you mean? | 17:57 |
| hemangpatel | i want to remove root permission from opt folder | 17:58 |
| MishkaEchoes | urlin2u I've tried unity --reset yes it didn't take, and I've restarted the machine a few times | 17:58 |
| klync | i'm new to using pulse audio; on their website, they recommend against running it as a system-wide daemon; what do ubuntu users recommend for sharing sound hardware across user accounts? | 17:58 |
| Dave-Maydew | I've solved the Nvidia issue on my Sony Desktop, but I also have a Acer Aspire One AO751h Netbook with the crappy Poulsbo, but will this be an issue in 12.04? | 17:58 |
| ssta | hemangpatel: you can't remove root permissions | 17:58 |
| bekks | hemangpatel: Thats not a permission, but an ownership. | 17:58 |
| bekks | hemangpatel: If you want to change that, use the command chown. | 17:58 |
| clio | zykotick9_, how should I configure fstab if I want to automount the ntfs filesystem as rw? | 17:58 |
| hemangpatel | i want to run my php sample project | 17:59 |
| zykotick9_ | clio, sorry i have no idea - i don't use MS garbage. Good luck. | 17:59 |
| MishkaEchoes | is there a way to uninstall unity and then reinstall it or something like that | 17:59 |
| hemangpatel | from that dir .. but it does not display any files.. | 17:59 |
| MishkaEchoes | and does unity include the top bar or just the left side panel | 17:59 |
| bekks | hemangpatel: Then momst likely your webserver isnt configured correctly. | 17:59 |
| clio | zykotick9_, haha ok thanks anyway | 17:59 |
| puff | Can anybody help me with my sound problem? | 18:00 |
| urlin2u | MishkaEchoes, top panel and the left panel | 18:00 |
| Dave-Maydew | So GMA500 powered devices? will it be able to work by 12.04, or should I just scrap the idea?? | 18:00 |
| CrystalCastle | Hi | 18:00 |
| CrystalCastle | someone can help me? | 18:01 |
| ssta | clio: something like: /dev/sdXX /mnt/foo ntfs auto,rw 0 0 | 18:01 |
| puff | CrystalCastle: No. | 18:01 |
| puff | CrystalCastle: not if they don't know what your problem is :-) | 18:01 |
| zykotick9_ | ssta, that's not going to work. clio | 18:01 |
| ssta | hmm, /media/foo these days I suppose | 18:01 |
| CrystalCastle | : p | 18:01 |
| urlin2u | CrystalCastle, probably just ask your questions. | 18:01 |
| ssta | whagt was wrong with leaving it as /mnt? | 18:01 |
| ssta | zykotick9_: why not? | 18:02 |
| zykotick9_ | ssta, NTFS needs OTHER options to make read/write | 18:02 |
| CrystalCastle | I want to play League Of Legends in ubuntu, but i can't because with wine the installer dont run | 18:02 |
| The_BROS | Is it possible to make subtitles at the Open Shot program? | 18:02 |
| zykotick9_ | CrystalCastle, #winehq might help | 18:02 |
| clio | zykotick9_, ssta this is what I have: /dev/sdb1 /media/LaCie ntfs nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=002,utf8,posix=1,user,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000 0 0 | 18:02 |
| clio | but im guessing its missing something | 18:02 |
| zainu | help please : nfs mounting gives error not in host:dir format | 18:02 |
| zykotick9_ | clio, that's looking better - umask and such. But i can't/won't help you. Good luck. | 18:03 |
| dcherniv | clio, yea ntfs-3g instead of ntfs | 18:03 |
| CrystalCastle | zykotick9_ Thanks you | 18:03 |
| dcherniv | clio, ntfs driver is read only | 18:03 |
| MishkaEchoes | after trying unity-reset it appears to fail after doing Initiailizing scale options ... done and prints 3 lines with compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x...... | 18:03 |
| clio | dch4pm4n, ok ok it all suddenly makes sense =) thank you! | 18:03 |
| MishkaEchoes | so if compiz broke unity how do I go about uninstalling compiz? | 18:03 |
| zykotick9_ | MishkaEchoes, Unity requires compiz actually... | 18:04 |
| MonkeyDust | who had this ssh question? | 18:04 |
| KM0201 | clio: not sure if this helps, but here's my fstab line for an NTFS partition... /dev/sda1 /media/ntfs ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46,noatime 0 0 | 18:05 |
| clio | dcherniv, and just to make sure ... I dont need to create the mount directory in /media, do I? It should automatically be created? | 18:05 |
| zykotick9_ | clio, it won't be auto created no | 18:05 |
| clio | KM0201, and your is read/write? | 18:05 |
| dcherniv | clio, if you're doing it through fstab then mount directory must exist | 18:06 |
| KM0201 | clio: of course | 18:06 |
| clio | dcherniv, zykotick9_ ok thanks | 18:06 |
| MishkaEchoes | fixed it!!! | 18:06 |
| th^2 | hello all | 18:06 |
| MishkaEchoes | reset all of config through the terminal | 18:06 |
| KillaByte | sofar ubuntu seems to be the best distro | 18:06 |
| MishkaEchoes | it didn't work when I did it through the manager | 18:06 |
| th^2 | nmap localhost shows:"631/tcp open ipp" | 18:06 |
| clio | KM0201, strange... earlier i was told that the NTFS driver was read only and that I needed to specify ntfs-3g | 18:06 |
| MishkaEchoes | man that felt great | 18:06 |
| cih997 | Hi, In gnome-shell 3.0.x I used ALT+TAB to change windows and ALT+~ to change windows in groups. Since gnome-shell 3.2.x ALT+~ doesn't work. Anyone has solution? | 18:06 |
| th^2 | nmap localhost shows:"631/tcp open ipp" what is that? | 18:06 |
| KM0201 | clio: what version of ubuntu are you using?.. | 18:07 |
| MonkeyDust | arooni-mobile: add this line in .profile: if [ ! -z "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; then tmux -rd; fi | 18:07 |

| klync | anyone know how i can turn off pulseaudio (without uninstalling it)? | 18:07 |
| Salihk | guys, i did mistake i think. i open a guest session and i managed the user accounts from there i created a new admin account and deleted the other one. it asks me password only one time and i entered my password. than i change session again when i tried to enter admin account it said to me it is wrong password. Now i cannot open ubuntu on admin account means i cannot install anything on it. | 18:07 |
| Salihk | could you help ? | 18:07 |
| clio | KM0201, 11.10 | 18:07 |
| th^2 | iceroot, aaa thank you! | 18:07 |
| iceroot | th^2: http://localhost:631 | 18:07 |
| KM0201 | clio: well, i can't explain that... it works fine here. | 18:07 |
| ssta | clio: ntfs-3g is a userspace driver...you probably wouldn't use it in fstab | 18:07 |
| clio | KM0201, I'll just give it a whirl | 18:07 |
| th^2 | iceroot, yes yes :D | 18:07 |
| zykotick9_ | klync, "pasuspender BINARY" will suspend pulse for given BINARY program | 18:08 |
| hhhzzzarn | which wine package do i download from software center? ubuntu 11.10? playonlinux? or together? | 18:08 |
| dcherniv | clio, ah my bad, ntfs-3g is default nowadays, specifying just ntfs should work for read/write | 18:08 |
| klync | Salihk: so, there's no account where you can do "sudo"? If not, reboot from cd.... | 18:08 |
| clio | dcherniv, ok thanks! | 18:08 |
| clio | thanks ssta | 18:08 |
| th^2 | iceroot, then you know what is 53/tcp as well? | 18:08 |
| iceroot | th^2: dns | 18:09 |
| bastidrazor | th^2: that is dnsmasq, possibly | 18:09 |
| klync | zykotick9_: i want the server to not start up when I login; in fact, when anyone logs in. I don't see the advantage over just using alsa | 18:09 |
| bastidrazor | th^2: or unbound | 18:09 |
| clio | So this looks ok to everybody? /dev/sdb1 /media/LaCie ntfs nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=002,utf8,posix=1,user,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000 0 0 | 18:09 |

| zykotick9_ | klync, good luck with that. expect gnome/unity to have broken audio if you do. | 18:09 |
| eight_bit | i just installed 11.10 | 18:09 |

| iceroot | !nounity | eight_bit | 18:10 |
| ubottu | eight_bit: 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 | 18:10 |

| matxinoa | hello all, I have a problem with xampp, mysql did not start, anyone can help me? | 18:10 |

| klync | zykotick9_: ok, let me rephrase, then... I want mpd to have access to my sound hardware as root, even when a user is logged in | 18:10 |
| eight_bit | thank you ubottu | 18:10 |

| vsingh165 | KillaByte: can't say I've tried Linux Mint. it is kind of like Ubuntu in that it's ready out of the box | 18:15 |
| === max is now known as Visionaire | ||
| vsingh165 | KillaByte: but I'm not sure how much better it is. in the end, all Linux distros are similar at their core | 18:15 |
| zykotick9_ | KillaByte, you question is offtopic here (Mint is more popular then Ubuntu, since Ubuntu switched to Unity) | 18:15 |
| KM0201 | KillaByte: thats a matter of opinion, my personal opinion, is no it is not. | 18:15 |
| ulrik | hhhzzzarn: that gives me the same error message | 18:15 |
| hhhzzzarn | killabyte: i used linux mint, but inorder for the greater good and ubuntu 11.10, i switched to ubuntu again | 18:16 |
| vsingh165 | I don't really have any issues with Unity | 18:16 |
| hhhzzzarn | ulrick: what does? | 18:16 |
| MonkeyDust | i use mint | 18:16 |
| vsingh165 | since I am an OSX user too, it appeals to me :) | 18:16 |
| ulrik | jrib: I might have aborted some package updates because the computer froze | 18:16 |
| hhhzzzarn | vsingh: might want to try, gnome-shell, liking it. | 18:16 |
| Jonii | Hey, anyone know if Ubuntu 10.4 has this "Dvorak International with dead keys" layout somewhere? | 18:16 |
| KillaByte | yeah in my opinion ubuntu rules | 18:16 |
| jrib | ulrik: run « sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 18:16 |
| ulrik | hhhzzzarn: Installing wine through software center | 18:16 |
| hhhzzzarn | ulrik: i am trying to install wine right now as well, but i have not started yet. I guess you have to pick the right packge | 18:17 |
| MonkeyDust | i use mint because i dislike unity | 18:17 |
| KM0201 | zykotick9_: you know though, when Mint goes to gnome 3 (which i assume will be it's next release)... there's gonna be an equal amount of suck to go around. | 18:17 |
| KillaByte | monkey dust howwas the installation did the wifi and video work out the box? | 18:17 |
| LSymonds | Mint 12 is coming out soon | 18:17 |
| vsingh165 | hhhzzzarn: the new gnome is kind of annoying, though | 18:17 |
| ulrik | jrib: And then what? Nothing happens. | 18:17 |
| zykotick9_ | KM0201, i think the fact that Mint is based on Ubuntu (currently) seals it's fate | 18:17 |
| MonkeyDust | mint 12 RC is unstable, i tried it | 18:17 |
| jrib | ulrik: « sudo apt-get install -f » | 18:17 |
| ssta | stick to 10.04. No unity brokenness :) This is all a bit off-topic though | 18:17 |
| KM0201 | zykotick9_: maybe... i'm really happy w/ Lubuntu.. it's got a sexy interface, easy to use... and NO UNITY! | 18:18 |
| hhhzzzarn | vsingh165: well, i prefer it over unity currently since i get to see all my open windows as soon as i move mymouse over the home button | 18:18 |
| Jonii | I like Unity better than 10.4 look+funktionality | 18:18 |
| zee | Once Ubuntu 10.04LTS reaches its end of life (Apr 2013) does it become unsafe to use immediately? 3-6 months later? 6-12 monts later? or much later? | 18:18 |
| vsingh165 | hhhzzzarn: it's your preference. I prefer unity since I use OSX and the layout/functionality is similar | 18:19 |
| MonkeyDust | mac vs pc, linux vs windows, ubuntu vs mint ;) | 18:19 |
| xangua | !eol | zee | 18:19 |

| bekks | zee: It isnt supported then anymore. | 18:19 |
| ulrik | jrib: that doesn't help, either | 18:19 |
| vsingh165 | hhhzzzarn: the sidebar especially keeps things neat when you have lots of stuff open on multiple desktops | 18:19 |
| jrib | ulrik: pastebin full output | 18:19 |
| ulrik | ok | 18:19 |
| zykotick9_ | zee, ubuntu isn't like debian - there isn't an old-stable grace year. When it's EOL, no more updates. | 18:19 |
| hhhzzzarn | vsingh165: gnome shell is same thing with a few things different. | 18:19 |
| MonkeyDust | i like mint more | 18:20 |
| vsingh165 | hhhzzzarn: gnome 3 is slow though...gnome 2 was much faster and more streamlined | 18:20 |
| jrib | please move the mint discussion elsewhere (like #ubuntu-offtopic) | 18:20 |
| hhhzzzarn | vsingh: i was comparing unity to gnome shell. not to gnome 2. | 18:20 |
| ulrik | jrib: http://pastebin.com/EJuKXNz1 | 18:20 |

| jtr__ | does LAMP work on 11.10? without any problems ? p=perl | 18:21 |
| hhhzzzarn | and installed flash 10 | 18:21 |

| jrib | KillaByte: #ubuntu-offtopic for distro preferences please | 18:21 |
| Salihk | It sounds stupid but i created a admin account from guest session. Than i remove the other admin account. However new admin account is disabled. So i cannot enter admin session. I thinks it is huge bug. because someone who can access guest account (means everybody does) can easily delete real admin account and blow all the system. If i can do it everybody does... How can i fix this ? | 18:21 |
| vsingh165 | hhhzzarn: flash 11 is actually pretty good. at least now they have 64-bit version that's really fast. | 18:21 |
| hhhzzzarn | vsingh165: do you mean for 64 bit os? | 18:22 |
| xangua | hhhzzzarn: chrome uses a bundle flashplugin | 18:22 |
| xangua | not your system ;) | 18:22 |
| jrib | ulrik: run « sudo apt-get update » and try again. If output is the same, pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list* and the output of the command « apt-cache policy wine wine1.3 ia32-libs » | 18:22 |
| vsingh165 | hhhzzzarn: yes. and chrome is nice with how it bundles flash in. updates when the browser does :) | 18:22 |
| ssta | Salihk: how did you manage to create a sudo capable user from a guest session? | 18:22 |
| jtr__ | [23:51] <jtr__> does LAMP work on 11.10? without any problems ? p=perl????? | 18:22 |
| jrib | jtr__: yes | 18:22 |
| jrib | !lamp | jtr__ | 18:22 |
| ubottu | jtr__: 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+) | 18:22 |
| jtr__ | jrib: ok | 18:22 |
| hhhzzzarn | vsingh165: question: flash 64 for 64 bit os or 64 bit system? | 18:22 |
| vsingh165 | hhhzzzarn: 64-bit os on 64-bit system | 18:23 |
| jtr__ | jrib: i read that , it says only about 11.04, so just asked, anyways thatnks | 18:23 |
| vsingh165 | hhhzzzarn: I don't run 32-bit anymore | 18:23 |

| hhhzzzarn | i have another laptop with 32 bit os on 64 bit system. | 18:23 |
| hhhzzzarn | and flash was choppy on firefox. | 18:23 |
| KillaByte | has anyone have lamp gui or is it always /opt/lamp/lamp start ? | 18:23 |
| Salihk | ssta actually i really don't know how but it is a real. I cannot enter my admin account and delete origin user from guest session | 18:23 |
| jrib | KillaByte: you should be using apache, mysql, and php (or whatever p you want) through the repositories. To start and stop services, use the « service » command | 18:24 |
| zee | zykotick9: does ubuntu 10.04LTS become unsafe to use immediately pass its EOL? | 18:24 |
| hhhzzzarn | i have (hacking) my brother laptop lately: changing his admin password :) | 18:24 |
| hhhzzzarn | been* | 18:24 |
| ssta | Salihk: sounds really strange to me...you need a rescue system I guess (the installer CD to a live session will work) | 18:24 |
| zykotick9_ | zee, yes | 18:24 |
| hhhzzzarn | off-topic. | 18:24 |
| hhhzzzarn | anyway. which wine package do i installed from the software center? | 18:24 |

| Shwaiil | zykotick9_, how to see !notunity ? | 18:28 |
| jrib | ulrik: doesn't matter if it was on purpose | 18:28 |
| 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 | 18:28 |
| ubottu | Shwaiil, please see my private message | 18:28 |
| Shwaiil | ok thanks sorry ;D | 18:28 |
| DrMax | ubottu : ok, but that's not my question | 18:29 |
| ubottu | DrMax: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:29 |
| zykotick9_ | Shwaiil, if you want to see a factoid privately use "/msg ubottu foo" replace foo with the factoid you want | 18:29 |
| jrib | ulrik: if a significant portion of your system is on precise and you'd prefer to stay on natty, then you should just reinstall. If you just added these repositories but never installed anything from them, then just remove them from your sources.list and run an « apt-get update » | 18:29 |
| ulrik | jrib: I understand. To my knowledge I haven't, no | 18:29 |

| Boontoo | theorem: I just installed on a 2TB disk and it keeps crashing because the partition table reverts to GPT for some reason | 18:58 |
| TomSlominski | hello. | 18:58 |
| theorem | Boontoo: are these disks getting enough airflow ? | 18:59 |
| Boontoo | I cannot find a reason why in my configs...so I am thinking about reorienting everything and adjusting fans | 18:59 |
| BarkingFish | this is kinda tricky. I am trying to get help from #ubuntu-ko using Google translate, but I don't think they understand. It seems English users of Kubuntu can't help me at all. | 18:59 |

| theorem | Boontoo: I would look at the cables and how they sit in the box, this is too warm given the threshold is 30 degrees cooler | 19:00 |
| bekks | ypxu: Some have, some dont. | 19:00 |

| xangua | TomSlominski: better try chromium, is already on repositories and is open source ;) | 19:01 |
| BarkingFish | kamired: some language channels don't like you speaking english - i at least tried to make an effort and ask first :) | 19:01 |
| bekks | TomSlominski: sudo apt-get install chromium | 19:01 |

| theorem | Boontoo: if you have spare $ , consider cooling with liquid if space is a problem | 19:01 |
| Boontoo | theorem: so where did you derive that temperature reading? | 19:01 |
| bekks | TomSlominski: Then show us the complete error messages. | 19:01 |

| TomSlominski | xangua bekks: chromium isn't an option. wait, my computer's having a breakdown | 19:03 |
| bekks | TomSlominski: Why isnt chromium an option? | 19:03 |
| dcherniv | BerdisSmerdis, err libopencore-amr[something] | 19:03 |
| Boontoo | theorem: ah...so it is only on that one drive | 19:03 |
| rypervenche | TomSlominski: Why is chromium not an option? It's the same thing as Chrome. | 19:03 |
| theorem | Boontoo: yes, smart only focuses on a single drive at a time | 19:04 |
| theorem | Boontoo: the red flag is this : 10 Spin_Retry_Count 0x0013 100 100 097 Pre-fail Always - 0 | 19:04 |
| TomSlominski | bekks: it fails on my machine. tried it many times on Ubuntu and Fedora. rypervenche | 19:04 |
| Boontoo | might not be entirely airflow problem then... | 19:04 |
| BerdisSmerdis | ok thanks will try to find it in synaptic | 19:04 |
| recharge | hi.. how do i sync files via gtkpod? I have an iphone 4 and ubuntu 11.10 and i am trying to sync and transfer files. | 19:04 |
| bekks | TomSlominski: Then show us the complete error messages when trying to install it. | 19:04 |
| TomSlominski | i dont see why it behaves so badly specifically on my machine, but it does and it's useless to me. | 19:04 |
| theorem | Boontoo: the disk is telling you it's about to fail based on the number of spin-retries , this is likely due to the temperature | 19:04 |
| TomSlominski | bekks: i'm getting to it :) | 19:04 |
| rypervenche | TomSlominski: So you're asknig us to help you get Chrome, which doesn't work, but you refuse to try chromium because it doesn't work either? | 19:04 |
| Boontoo | theorem: interesting, I might pull that drive then...the other one looks like those errors are missing from the output | 19:05 |
| TomSlominski | rypervenche: Chrome does work, it just won't install on this new ubuntu installation. | 19:05 |
| theorem | Boontoo: if it has nothing to record then it won;t show up on the report. that means it's healthy. | 19:05 |
| rypervenche | TomSlominski: Lik bekks said, show us what happens whe you try to install chromium-browser. | 19:05 |
| BerdisSmerdis | ok thanks man that gives me some ideas now | 19:05 |
| TomSlominski | rypervenche: I'm not installing chromium. | 19:05 |
| BerdisSmerdis | think it's in medibuntu repo | 19:06 |
| theorem | Boontoo: I think you just need to cool it off somehow. check the rated temperature that the drives run at -- if you have a multi-platter disk the temperatures these put out will be more than single-platter disks | 19:06 |
| theorem | Boontoo: regardless, back it up for safety | 19:06 |
| recharge | can anyone help me to sync files from ubuntu 11.10 to my iphone 4 through gtkpod..? | 19:07 |
| theorem | at 72 deg C you're nearly 3/4th the way to boiling water constantly -- just with that drive -- consider how much heat that emits to the surrounding area. | 19:07 |
| rypervenche | TomSlominski: Then you may find that help will be hard to come by with such an extremist attitude. | 19:07 |
| xangua | recharge: are you able to mount your iphone¿ what iOS version¿ | 19:07 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| recharge | xangua, to be honest i dont know what mount and unmount means.. but it seems like my iphone is detected | 19:08 |
| TomSlominski | rypervenche: what do you mean? I have said that I can't use Chromium and that I need to install chrome. I don't see why I should install chromium, which I know wouldn't work, just because I've been told to. | 19:08 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest60481 | ||
| bekks | TomSlominski: Will you show us the complete error messages you get or not? | 19:09 |
| theorem | recharge: mount and unmount means that the file system is mounted -- it's a process of mapping a block device for use. | 19:09 |
| TomSlominski | "Could not open 'google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb' The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file: please check the permissions of the file." | 19:09 |
| TomSlominski | please do understand that my system is running off a usb drive so things are slow. | 19:09 |
| theorem | TomSlominski: ls -la <file> | 19:09 |
| bekks | TomSlominski: And what are the permissions of the file? | 19:09 |
| theorem | TomSlominski: ls -la google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb | 19:09 |
| Boontoo | theorem: yeah, well rearrangement might help too, I had all of them right on top of eachother near the power supply. I think if I spread them out and now that I fixed the fan. It should be fine | 19:10 |
| recharge | xangua, do you know how to use gtkpod? | 19:10 |
| TomSlominski | bekks theorem: -rwxrwxrwx 1 tom tom 24665320 2011-11-13 18:18 google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb | 19:10 |
| theorem | TomSlominski: probably corrupted somehow -- snag the md5 and compare ? | 19:10 |
| cheeseyc | ....so I have no idea where to even start with asking for help because I have probably managed to screw up ubuntu in at least three or four separate ways in one full sweep | 19:10 |
| bekks | TomSlominski: Did you compare the checksums of the file you downloaded? | 19:10 |
| theorem | Boontoo: yeah, that will make a big difference, make sure that fans are not blocked externally too | 19:11 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: hmm ? | 19:11 |
| TomSlominski | bekks theorem: no, however i downloaded both the 64 and 32 bits version twice so its unlikely that the files are corrupted. could it be the whole drive? | 19:11 |
| cheeseyc | but essentially: 1) grub boots immediately into rescue mode; I figured out long ago how to get it to load back up, but interestingly grub2 freezes if I don't choose what I want to run within a few minutes | 19:11 |
| bekks | TomSlominski: Seeing that error message it IS VERY likely that your downloads are corrupted. | 19:12 |
| theorem | TomSlominski: maybe -- but unlikely -- get the md5 checksum | 19:12 |
| TomSlominski | theorem bekks: ok, i'll be right back | 19:12 |
| theorem | TomSlominski: download is corrupted, but it's not clear what did it. | 19:12 |
| kamilnadeem | Hi | 19:12 |
| cheeseyc | 2) so that's not a big deal, I just need to update grub files or reinstall it. however, that's not possible, because upon any attempt to load ubuntu, the screen goes black and stays that way | 19:12 |
| recharge | i cant get my phone synced by itunes in wine because of this bug and i really thought this gtkpod would make my day.. I used to get it through virtual box (win xp).. how do i sync my iphone in a good way? please? | 19:12 |
| kamilnadeem | I am having a prob with Chromium/Chrome , here is the details http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=103349 | 19:13 |
| kamilnadeem | does this happens with you guys also? | 19:13 |
| theorem | Boontoo: hang on a sec-- I just re-read that -- the counter for "Value" indicates the number of times you're passed the threshold | 19:14 |
| cheeseyc | 3) until I hit the power button, which probably is signalling Ubuntu to wake up, given that I accidentally attempted to suspend my system - which was doomed to fail. However, then my computer seems to get the message to SHUT OFF, so before Ubuntu can properly load, now realizing it SHOULD, my computer just shuts itself off entirely | 19:14 |
| theorem | Boontoo: not to worry about the temp. but do check up about the seek errors. | 19:14 |
| cheeseyc | so I've had to boot from Windows just to even reach this IRC. anybody have any idea where I can start here, or...? | 19:14 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: you're giving me a bit too much info -- | 19:15 |
| xangua | recharge: that depends of what do you want to sync, wuth gtkpod you can only manager your ipod/iphone files i believe | 19:15 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: sounds like you need to boot with a rescue CD for your machine | 19:16 |
| bekks | kamilnadeem: Works fine here. | 19:16 |
| kamilnadeem | :( | 19:16 |
| recharge | xangua, im glad if i can sync my musicfiles or anything at all | 19:16 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: then you can go about fixing the grub.conf and related kernel files | 19:16 |
| kamilnadeem | It has happened with me on every distro | 19:16 |
| Braber01 | does anybody know how to configure input on mednafen? | 19:17 |
| xangua | recharge: you mean sync them with the music you but on the istore¿ or whatever is called | 19:17 |
| xangua | buy* | 19:17 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: thanks. not sure how to do that, but it sounds like a good start | 19:17 |
| recharge | xangua, can i transfer my music files (i have converted them into mp3) in gtkpod to my iphone? | 19:18 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: pickup your ubuntu install DVD, it will let you load it is "rescue mode" from there mount the partitions for /boot or just / and fix the files . | 19:18 |
| xangua | recharge: yes, you can | 19:18 |
| recharge | xangua, well how do i do that.. cause i dont get how to make the sync/transfer | 19:19 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: mm, didn't go by CD. I didn't have a decent cd on hand when I tried Ubuntu out, so I tried it from a USB first. (I'm new to ubuntu (as in, just a few days)... So...:\) | 19:19 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: ok, then use the USB, it will do the same thing | 19:19 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: and you can get online with it too, just boot the USB normally | 19:19 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: then use either 'irssi' or 'xchat' to get on here | 19:20 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: cool, thanks. 'll have to do that | 19:20 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: k, give it a try -- I don;t know how musch longer I'll be here, but if I am I'll help | 19:20 |
| rhizmoe | well i seem to have compiz'ed unity out of my life, somehow | 19:20 |

| unkr | TomSlominski, let me see that | 19:24 |
| unkr | TomSlominski, how that ?? | 19:24 |

| PrototypeX29A | hhhzzzarn: tried that before, but dist-upgrade wouldn't do anything at all then | 19:33 |
| glitchd | rhizmoe, switch back to gnome | 19:33 |
| theborger | MonkeyDust, i did ask the real question | 19:33 |
| myke | hello, i have xubuntu 11.10 on a dell n5030, although the touchpad scroll works, chording the two buttons to emulate middle does not (only 2 buttons). i see that chordmiddle in the X config has been deprecated, what's the best way to get it back? | 19:33 |
| rhizmoe | "switch back to gnome" doesn't make sense. | 19:34 |
| PrototypeX29A | hhhzzzarn: but upgrade is just the normal upgrade, not a distupgradE? | 19:34 |
| bitcrusher | So I removed unity and installed gnome-shell, but now the bar on the top, the text(maybe the font is frazzled), can't take a screenshot of it because it doesn't take a picture of the bar on the top | 19:34 |

| glitchd | so do it again to make sure | 19:36 |
| theborger | bitcrusher: that does not work, after a reboot, it changes to the internal sound card. I have audio coming out of my hdmi card. it will default back to intel internel sound card after a reboot | 19:36 |
| rhizmoe | you're also assuming i can get to the software center, since the dash is gone | 19:36 |
| theborger | win 6 | 19:36 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: got ubuntu to load but it's just the version from the USB, none of my settings or anything. tried other options on the menu but all of them just led me to either a black screen or a no-screen... | 19:36 |
| soulslayer | does any one knows any configs that affect the network manager except the interfaces file and NetworkManager.conf ? | 19:36 |
| rhizmoe | i probably can't even log out | 19:36 |
| soulslayer | or what can possibly cause such issue | 19:36 |
| hhhzzzarn | rhizmoe, did you use it? log out and click on gear icon, then choose "gnome" and login | 19:36 |
| jasef | How do I find out what package something is from so I can report a bug for it? | 19:36 |
| glitchd | rhizmoe, doesnt crtl alt backspace work? | 19:36 |
| himi | does anyone know how to save this internet radio : http://radio.mediacorp.sg/RadioLive/xfm963.aspx? | 19:36 |
| bitcrusher | rhizmoe, you can pop a terminal by going cntrl, alt f6 then log in, then install gnome-shell, even restart with sudo reboot | 19:37 |
| glitchd | himi, i believe save it as a .html file | 19:37 |
| hhhzzzarn | himi, go to "ubuntu-offtopic" | 19:37 |
| rhizmoe | i think ctrl-alt-backsp is gonesville in gnome3 | 19:37 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: yes, of course. you have to load the USB then, you have to get to the terminal from there. Once you load a terminal then you need to edit the /etc/grub.conf file to make sure it's booting properly.... | 19:37 |
| glitchd | rhizmoe, i believe there is a way to enable it | 19:37 |
| rhizmoe | bitcrusher: i have a terminal, that's where i'm at. | 19:38 |
| rypervenche | Did TomSlominski ever come back? | 19:38 |
| xangua | rhizmoe: tried to see the keyboard settings and see if you can't enable it there¿ | 19:38 |
| rhizmoe | glitchd: there is, but i forget and i don't feel like looking it up | 19:38 |
| glitchd | rhizmoe, does any desktop load on reboot? | 19:38 |
| rhizmoe | yes, i have basically a nautilus shell and my regular gnome wallpaper | 19:38 |
| bitcrusher | rhizmoe: are you trying to start gnome-shell? | 19:38 |
| himi | glitchd: can i save as stream/playlist so that i can play it next time easier? | 19:38 |
| glitchd | himi, that sounds like it would work | 19:39 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: well at least I know how to do that, somewhat | 19:39 |
| theborger | himi, right click the link where you find it. save as | 19:39 |
| glitchd | himi, what are u using to play it with? | 19:39 |
| rhizmoe | huh, gnome-shell did something | 19:39 |
| hhhzzzarn | rhizmoe: are you on gnome-shell? | 19:39 |
| rhizmoe | i think so | 19:39 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: well, it's a bit tricky -- would you like to fix it or start over ? | 19:39 |
| rhizmoe | how do i select this when logging in? | 19:39 |
| himi | glitchd, mozilla.. | 19:39 |
| theborger | himi: next time you want to listen to it, click the link you downloaded | 19:39 |
| rhizmoe | is it just the "gnome" option? | 19:39 |
| glitchd | himi, well give it a try and see if it works | 19:39 |
| bitcrusher | rhizmoe: yes select gnome session instead of ubuntu | 19:40 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: starting over might be easier, not going to lie | 19:40 |
| glitchd | himi, if not i would suggest downloading and installing VLC to handle media playing | 19:40 |
| hhhzzzarn | rhizmoe: if you are gnome-shell, then move your mouse over icon and you should see a black backgroun popup. | 19:40 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: ....particularly as I can't even seem to find grub.conf. etc folder, yes, grub, nope | 19:41 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: you need to mount the / or /boot partitions manually | 19:42 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: this means going to the terminal and typing something along the lines of : mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/root | 19:42 |
| theorem | you would need to create /mnt/root first : mkdir -p /mnt/root | 19:42 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: thanks. I understand what things mean but I tend to not know how to do them | 19:42 |
| himi | glitchd, thank you but what i really mean is had download it .asx file from the site and it work using totem but after i close it and tried to open it again it said 'error stream' | 19:43 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: once the disk is mounted then you can open the contents of the files on the disk | 19:43 |
| rhizmoe | ah, much better. thanks! | 19:43 |
| bitcrusher | lol going to ask again, anyone know how to fix scrambled text on the top of gnome-shell after you remove unity and replace with gnome-shell? | 19:43 |
| Neutronym | hi | 19:43 |
| jtr__ | how do i search files using locate without case sensitive behaviour | 19:43 |
| rhizmoe | maybe unity stole some gtk3 stuff when you removed it | 19:43 |
| BarkingFish | does anyone here have their PC set up with IME's to type in any of the East Asian languages, like Chinese or Korean please? I desperately need help and can't get my PC to do what I need it to - which is type in Hangul / Hanja using an English keyboard. | 19:43 |

| Neutronym | ok | 19:44 |
| jtr__ | :) | 19:44 |
| jtr__ | how do i search files using locate without case sensitive behaviour???? | 19:45 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: did that. no apparent effect? | 19:45 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: so, you have mounted a drive now ? | 19:46 |
| theorem | see : df | 19:46 |
| soulslayer | hey guys does anyone here has similar issues with network manager | 19:46 |
| soulslayer | ? | 19:46 |
| ubuntu__ | I'm into an install of 10.04 now, (dual boot, slackware & ubuntu), and just realized I could have probably just used the /home from the slackware install. I suppose I can change it after the install. | 19:47 |
| iceroot | ubuntu__: dont think its a good diea | 19:47 |
| ubuntu__ | Or.... maybe I'll just make mount points for Documents/ and share that? | 19:48 |
| jtr__ | iceroot: he can have more than one /home folders also right | 19:48 |
| iceroot | ubuntu__: in ~/. there are configs and you are using different software versions with slackware and ubuntu, so both are using the same configs and maybe somethin has changed in the versions | 19:48 |
| jtr__ | iceroot: ok | 19:48 |
| iceroot | jtr__: of course | 19:48 |
| ubuntu__ | iceroot: That shouldn't matter... right? What would be different in a /home dir? | 19:49 |
| iceroot | ubuntu__: my comment is for "using the same user on both distros" everything else is no problem | 19:49 |
| funnyfingers | Why does Debian go by a whole number like Debian 6 for Ubuntu uses 10.04 LTS for instance? | 19:49 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: I think so, but I'm not entirely certain given that the partition that'a matching up with my ubuntu files and all has some strange string of a name instead of /dev/sda something. and that string has no data at all, it just gets listed. /dev/sda1 is mounted at /mnt/root | 19:49 |
| ubuntu__ | Oh yea, I'm using the same user name. | 19:49 |
| iceroot | funnyfingers: why not? | 19:49 |
| iceroot | ubuntu__: then i would not use /home/username on both distros | 19:49 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: ok, great then sda1 is your real disk -- ignore everything else | 19:50 |
| bitcrusher | alright fixed my text... just had to change text size on universal acess | 19:50 |
| jtr__ | ubuntu__: he says to use different user name | 19:50 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: got it | 19:50 |
| iceroot | funnyfingers: #debian for there version-coutning. for ubuntu its always YEAR.MONTH | 19:50 |
| ubuntu__ | jtr__: Too late. | 19:50 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: navigate to there and edit /mnt/root/etc/grub.conf | 19:50 |
| jtr__ | ubuntu__: still can change, can he ? iceroot? | 19:50 |
| funnyfingers | iceroot just wondering as you can still call CentOS 5.7 CentOS 5 with the latest update... | 19:50 |
| ubuntu__ | Shouldn't matter though... it's on separate partitions. | 19:50 |
| jtr__ | ubuntu__: then ok | 19:50 |
| funnyfingers | Can you call Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Ubuntu 10? | 19:50 |
| iceroot | funnyfingers: no | 19:50 |
| bekks | funnyfingers: No. | 19:50 |
| ubuntu__ | We'll see what happens. | 19:50 |
| Nach0z | lol no. | 19:51 |
| iceroot | funnyfingers: because there is 10.04 and 10.10 | 19:51 |
| funnyfingers | right this is why I am asking | 19:51 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: once again I'm just getting a blank file | 19:51 |
| jtr__ | ubuntu__: that is always the case :D | 19:51 |
| theorem | note that the mount point defines the part from which your local directory structure and the disk structure diverge ... /mnt/root is this point --- consider it the '/' of your regular install | 19:51 |
| iceroot | funnyfingers: which are different releases with different repos and software | 19:51 |
| funnyfingers | SO was Ubuntu 10 released and then major bugs found that advanced it to 10.04 and then that was considered stable? | 19:51 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: show me the contents of that directory ? | 19:51 |
| bekks | funnyfingers: Debian uses another versioning system - ubuntu uses YEAR.MONTH | 19:51 |
| bekks | funnyfingers: No. | 19:51 |
| iceroot | funnyfingers: only 10.04 and 10.10 there is no 10.0 | 19:51 |
| bekks | 10.04 was released in Aptil 2010 | 19:51 |
| ubuntu__ | theorem: Was that for me? | 19:51 |
| theorem | ubuntu__: no | 19:51 |
| funnyfingers | oh ok I gotcha. | 19:52 |
| iceroot | funnyfingers: i already told you that its always YEAR.MONTH so one was releaed 20(10).(04) | 19:52 |
| funnyfingers | And what determined that 10.04 went to LTS and not 10.10? | 19:52 |
| iceroot | funnyfingers: the other 20(10).(10) | 19:52 |
| iceroot | funnyfingers: mark shuttleworth | 19:52 |
| bekks | funnyfingers: Because every two years the april release becomes a LTS version. | 19:52 |
| bekks | funnyfingers: 8.04, 10.04, 12.04 | 19:52 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: going into /mnt/root gives me 8 folders: boot, asuslog, disables3s4, efi, expressgate, expressgateutil, $recycle.bin and sources, along with some logs | 19:53 |
| funnyfingers | ah ok makes more sense to me now:) | 19:53 |
| jtr__ | people tell me how to locate a dir in whole system using locate , but not be case sensitive | 19:53 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: hmm, ok ... where if your /etc ? did this get removed somehow ? | 19:53 |
| kevrickjam | hello i need help installing ubuntu | 19:53 |
| iceroot | bekks: what about 6.06 :) | 19:53 |
| theorem | *where is | 19:53 |
| bekks | iceroot: That wasnt an april release ;) | 19:54 |
| iceroot | bekks: but lts :) | 19:54 |

| guntbert | jtlap: try locate -i <pattern> | 19:55 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: my normal / folder seems to all be in this other spot: it gets labelled as "109 GB Filesystem", but seems to be named 46a0b7cb-578b... and the string of numbers/letters goes on from there | 19:55 |
| soulslayer | guys does anyone know a reason for malfunctional nm-applet ? | 19:55 |
| jtr__ | guntbert: u said that to me right? | 19:55 |
| cheeseyc | it's listed as a separate partition I think like OS and DATA are as usual :\ | 19:55 |
| soulslayer | except the interfaces file | 19:55 |
| jtr__ | guntbert: i tried i dont think it is similar to find | 19:55 |
| MishkaEchoes | with two video cards why wont it let me extend the display using twin view on the second card? | 19:55 |
| MishkaEchoes | I don't fully understand xscreen | 19:56 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: the string is not important now , just hte mount point --- it looks like you got rid of the etc folder which allows you to boot and holds system configuration files -- what happened to cause this ? | 19:56 |
| guntbert | jtr__: read man locate, I did :) | 19:56 |
| bekks | cheeseyc: Nopaste the output of the following commands please: lsb_release -a; sudo fdisk -l | 19:56 |
| bekks | cheeseyc: and "df -h" along with "mount". | 19:56 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: No, no I have the etc folder and boot and bin and all of that | 19:56 |
| jtr__ | guntbert: it says it will work ? the "-i" thing ? | 19:56 |
| RandomRoger | how can I remove an application uncluding all its configuration, so I can get a clean slate ? | 19:56 |
| jtr__ | guntbert: i will read | 19:56 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: oh ! good, then we just need to read the etc folder and open the grub.conf to see if everything is ok | 19:56 |
| theorem | cheeseyc: you said it was missing before. | 19:57 |
| xangua | RandomRoger: remove the configuration files in your home | 19:57 |
| RandomRoger | Yeah, I was going to but I dont see a .kvirc config in my home folder | 19:57 |
| theorem | RandomRoger: apt-get uninstall <app> | 19:57 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: ...and there's no grub.conf in the etc file. many other .confs but not grub | 19:57 |
| RandomRoger | theorem: that only uninstall its, when I reinstall the app the old config is still active | 19:57 |
| theorem | k, hnag , let me see .. | 19:57 |
| jtr__ | guntbert: thanks , got it, but i tried that before didn't work , so i thought otherwise , maybe i was writing the parameters in wrong order or something | 19:57 |
| mago_ | good mornigt | 19:57 |
| theorem | RandomRoger: that's by design. find the config file and remove it, everything else normally goes. | 19:58 |
| mago_ | existe un canal en español | 19:58 |
| RandomRoger | Ok thanks | 19:58 |
| ubuntu__ | Well, I'm about to find out what happens, the install is 95% done. | 19:58 |
| RandomRoger | By chance does anyone know where kvirc keeps its config file ? | 19:58 |
| ubuntu__ | done.... | 19:58 |
| iceroot | RandomRoger: ~/.kvirc ? | 19:58 |
| RandomRoger | I thought it would be but its not | 19:59 |
| mago_ | como entro a un canal en español | 19:59 |
| jtr__ | ubuntu_: two different partitons , then no problem | 19:59 |
| jtr__ | ubuntu_: nothing common | 19:59 |

| theorem | cheeseyc: ok, I must be wrong on the grub.conf location --- I have to run right now --- can someone else help cheeseyc fix his boot options ? he has the right partition mounted ! | 20:00 |
| jasef | RandomRoger, it's in ~/.config/KVIrc by default | 20:00 |
| cheeseyc | theorem: *she, thank you for your help so far | 20:00 |

| urlin2u | cheeseyc, have you run the bootscript to see if there is something amiss, and checked the graphic diver setup for the black screen. | 20:25 |

| n3glv | hi guys | 20:26 |
| n3glv | when trying to download a file I get this error | 20:26 |
| n3glv | . /tmp/1Fn5aOKy.deb.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. | 20:27 |
| n3glv | is this permissions on /tmp/ ?? | 20:27 |
| Spyros | cheeseyc, if the services do not start and it freezed before then it could be the kernel | 20:27 |
| n3glv | or maybe a firefox fart? | 20:27 |
| mentoc | Suits me right for walking into #ubuntu and reading "firefox fart".... | 20:28 |
| n3glv | LOL | 20:28 |
| n3glv | aww cum on now | 20:28 |

| mentoc | n3glv, what's making your firefox ..... ? | 20:28 |
| urlin2u | cheeseyc, boot the ubuntu cd and run the script hereare two links the script and the grub 2 page, not real familiar myself with drivers though. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 Some also use the boot repair app by loading the ppa on the live cd and installing and running it, post the script if you want. | 20:28 |
| n3glv | ubu 10.10 | 20:29 |
| cheeseyc | Spyros: considering that the last time I was actually on my ubuntu I think I accidentally attempted and failed to suspend? | 20:29 |
| n3glv | cheeseyc: that sounds like some partly broken apic support | 20:29 |
| soulslayer | guys does some one knows why nm-applet cant find any network devices here i have clean the /etc/network/interfaces file and set the managed value in the NetworkManager.conf to true | 20:30 |
| soulslayer | tried restarting dbus ... | 20:30 |
| soulslayer | but still nothing | 20:30 |
| soulslayer | the nm applet says Error getting 'WirelessHardwareEnabled' | 20:30 |
| cheeseyc | to all: im pretty sure my problem is about 3 things at once and that's not including how new I am to ubuntu. | 20:31 |
| n3glv | soulslayer: some systems I have heard about a softswitch or something, for wifi on/off | 20:31 |
| urlin2u | soulslayer, have you posted the wireless card this command will identify it. lspci | grep -i wireless | 20:31 |

| soulslayer | urlin2u, its atheros chip and the driver is ok | 20:32 |

| n3glv | what ver freepbx? 11.10? | 20:32 |
| n3glv | oops | 20:33 |
| n3glv | I meant ubuntu | 20:33 |
| soulslayer | i can use it like dhclient or setup it maualy from xterm | 20:33 |
| soulslayer | but the nm-applet says there is no available devieces | 20:33 |
| n3glv | soulslayer: 11.10? | 20:33 |
| urlin2u | soulslayer, you say it scans yet say "cant find any network devices" | 20:33 |
| popsch | which package contains ubuntu's desktop backgrounds? | 20:33 |

| soulslayer | n3glv, :D its 11.10 :D the latest ubuntu | 20:35 |
| n3glv | 11.10 makes changes off of gnome | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | n3glv: 11.10 == oneiric | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | n3glv: if that's what you mean | 20:35 |
| djino | Hi, I am using the 'configure' program to install something from source. It complains that a specific dependency it requires is out of date. I have the dependency installed in a different directory, i.e. /opt/foo/bin/foo instead /usr/bin/foo. Can I somehow provide the different folder to 'configure' as an option? | 20:35 |
| n3glv | and it would not surprise me if they broke what used to be gnome network manager | 20:35 |
| qmanjr5 | How would I use wget on a .onion (from Tor) address? | 20:36 |
| soulslayer | n3glv, do you have any suggestions ? | 20:36 |
| n3glv | other than I can't stand 11.10 and ended up reformatting and going back to 10.10? | 20:36 |
| n3glv | no | 20:36 |
| popsch | ActionParsnip, thanks a lot. | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | n3glv: what's up with 11.10? | 20:36 |
| soulslayer | damn | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | popsch: np man :) | 20:37 |
| n3glv | stupid desktop | 20:37 |
| soulslayer | ActionParsnip, the nm-applet cant find network devices | 20:37 |
| n3glv | unity crap | 20:37 |
| soulslayer | but the devices are there and fully operational | 20:37 |
| soulslayer | n3glv, i dont have unity installed | 20:37 |
| n3glv | can't get my gnome desktop back | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | n3glv: that's only gnome, you can use xfce, kde, lxde and others and STILL use oneiric | 20:37 |
| soulslayer | its xfce + NetworkManager and nm-applet | 20:37 |
| n3glv | ActionParsnip: tried to stay with main branch | 20:37 |
| n3glv | failed misserably | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | n3glv: my desktop looks no different from Karmic to now | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | n3glv: there is no main branch | 20:38 |
| n3glv | I use 10.10 but select ubuntu desktop, that's what I want to see, gnome | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip | n3glv: all the desktops in the repos are equally supported and developed | 20:38 |
| n3glv | not a sill swelling mac-like mess and a taskbar I can't edit. | 20:38 |
| Fodi69 | hi, is there anything for linux that is compatible with windows media sharing (streaming) ?? | 20:38 |
| qmanjr5 | How would I use wget on a .onion (from Tor) address? | 20:38 |
| n3glv | ActionParsnip: the UPGRADE button puts me on 11.10-useless | 20:38 |
| cheeseyc_ | urlin2u: I ran the script but I'm honestly not sure what I'm looking for in the results | 20:38 |
| soulslayer | guys dont want to interrupt you but lets dont make that religious fight | 20:39 |
| n3glv | ok /tmp/1Fn5aOKy.deb.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. | 20:39 |
| n3glv | issue | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | n3glv: install xfce, it looks and runs a lot like original desktop. Gnome2 is a dead project so you will eventually need to move | 20:39 |
| soulslayer | ActionParsnip, do you have any suggestions how can i make the nm-applet find the network devices ? | 20:39 |
| n3glv | am stuck in the midst of a project because 10.10 wet the bed | 20:39 |
| urlin2u | cheeseyc, post it in a pastebin we can take a look. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: tried wicd instead | 20:39 |
| n3glv | can't download the tool I need to continue | 20:39 |
| n3glv | am loosing $75/hr | 20:39 |
| cheeseyc_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/737653/ | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: as long as there is a driver for the interface, it can be used | 20:40 |
| n3glv | ya, wicd is nice | 20:40 |
| Resistance | n3glv: i'm going to ask you to stop whining... whining doesnt help you get support. | 20:40 |
| Fodi69 | hi, is there anything for linux that is compatible with windows media sharing (streaming) ?? | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Fodi69: samba | 20:40 |
| soulslayer | ActionParsnip, wicd is replacement for the NetworkManager daemon and the nm-applet both or just the daemong ? | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Fodi69: shares the folder which you can then map as a network drive and stream from | 20:40 |
| n3glv | wicd does all networking | 20:41 |
| n3glv | and is nice | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: nm-applet is just the thing that appears in the panel, network manager is the bit doing the work. | 20:41 |
| Fodi69 | how hard it is to install samba for a beginner? | 20:41 |
| soulslayer | yep i just wonderd does wicd has something similar to nm-applet | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Fodi69: its just like any other package, sudo apt-get -y install samba | 20:42 |
| cheeseyc_ | (fyi I'm just switching between phone/laptop irc, cheeseyc and cheeseyc_, as is convenient. so yes I'm still here.) | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: yes, it has a panel item | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: it also has wicd-curses and you can configure in a nice curses cli environment | 20:42 |
| n3glv | cheeseyc_: if you are on irc a lot, look into znc | 20:42 |
| n3glv | I am on 3 pcs at the moment | 20:43 |
| n3glv | two at home and 1 @ library | 20:43 |
| soulslayer | and is it works well with usb broadband 3g donggles ? | 20:43 |
| urlin2u | cheeseyc, grub is looking at the wrong partition sda8 should be sda7 use the grub 2 link and try the load grub from cd or chroot it ith commands below that option on that page. | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: I'm not sure it does 3G stuff | 20:43 |
| n3glv | soulslayer: I never tried it with my evdo, since I gave up the service before I saw wicd, but it shold. | 20:43 |
| n3glv | should rather | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/moinmoin/3GUsbModem | 20:43 |
| cheeseyc_ | urlin2u: I already know that's what it's doing; that's what I work around every time grub rescue pops up. I've become very used to typing set prefix=(hd0,7)/boot/grub by now | 20:44 |
| n3glv | soulslayer: you have checked for proprietary drivers in ubuntu? | 20:44 |
| hasek791 | i need help with my permissions | 20:44 |
| soulslayer | n3glv, its not a driver problem | 20:44 |
| urlin2u | cheeseyc_, if you know how to manual boot into the ubuntu you can just run a update-grub that should do it, did you install startup manager to change the default boot OS? | 20:44 |
| soulslayer | the interfaces are fully operational | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: what happens when you boot, is the device not ready? | 20:45 |
| soulslayer | it is all the interfaces are up and runing just the network manager cand find them | 20:45 |
| cheeseyc_ | urlin2u: again, that's the problem - I can use grub /after/ using the rescue thing, but I can't actually boot into ubuntu because then I get a black screen or else grub freezes up before I can. | 20:45 |
| hasek791 | when i put in a usb drive or device and when i try to eject it it tell me i dont have permission and im not the owner which doesnt make sense | 20:45 |
| cheeseyc_ | urlin2u: so then I'm stuck only able to access ubuntu via booting off the USB into the ubuntu default, and not sure how to update or reinstall grub from tehre | 20:46 |
| cheeseyc_ | *there | 20:46 |
| n3glv | hasek791: you use sudo? | 20:46 |
| === zz_M4rc3l is now known as M4rc3l | ||
| n3glv | and/or do you have your user logging in automatically? | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: and what do you need to do to make it ok? | 20:46 |
| cheeseyc_ | urlin2u: additonally it's worth note that my windows 7 side works just fine, but obviously I can't really get anything done from there and like it far less | 20:47 |
| hasek791 | i have to.. i got a shortcut in my dock sudo nautlis just so i can eject things | 20:47 |
| soulslayer | i dont realy know i have everything setuped network-manager daemon ... nm-applet | 20:47 |
| soulslayer | but the nm-applet just says no available network devices | 20:47 |
| n3glv | this is rediculous | 20:48 |
| soulslayer | tell me about it | 20:48 |
| soulslayer | :) | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: if you unload then reload the module, does it work? | 20:48 |
| soulslayer | i havent tried that | 20:48 |
| urlin2u | cheeseyc_, unless there is a ascpi problem as suggested or other hardware problems the black screen and grub are only connected by you not seoerating the fix on these, use a nomodeset boot to fix the black screen reload grub fron=m the usb boot with the grub 2 link posted, then fix the graphic driver or put m=nomodeset in the kernel line permanently. | 20:48 |
| soulslayer | just a second | 20:48 |
| urlin2u | cheeseyc_, sorry for the miss spells | 20:49 |
| cheeseyc_ | urlin2u: nomodeset boot? (it's fine, I understood) | 20:49 |
| hasek791 | how can i fix it so i can just eject flash drives without using sude | 20:50 |
| hasek791 | sudo | 20:50 |

| Lobosque | Spyros radeon 5850 | 20:53 |
| soulslayer | ActionParsnip, nope the same issue | 20:53 |
| ab5tra | it says invite only :( | 20:53 |
| soulslayer | maybe its something about the dbus | 20:53 |
| soulslayer | and thats why nm-applet cant send message | 20:53 |
| soulslayer | .. ? | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: if you run: sudo rfkill list are they blocked any? | 20:53 |
| ab5tra | any reason why the C room is invite only, any other sugggeestions? | 20:53 |
| === SinusPi_ is now known as SinusPi | ||
| ActionParsnip | ab5tra: get yourself registered and identified and you can enter | 20:54 |
| urlin2u | cheeseyc_, nomodeset for the black screen (low graphics), grub reload for booting. To be honest it is hard to tell exactly whats going on but these are not guesses on my part the boot script shows a wrong set up can be fixed by reloading grub generally. Black screen generally dealt with by inserting nomodeset in the kernel, until the graphics are set up. This is if no other problems are happening. | 20:54 |
| ab5tra | alright thanks | 20:54 |
| soulslayer | ActionParsnip, no | 20:55 |
| soulslayer | everythink is no | 20:55 |
| itsnotabigtruck | has anyone played around with apparmor? do you think it's worth it to spend time defining new apparmor policies for daemons | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks? | 20:55 |
| cheeseyc_ | urlin2u, alright, thanks. I reinstalled grub - I think/hope - but again, you're dealing very much with a n00b right now who isn't sure how to exactly to insert nomodeset in the kernel | 20:55 |
| soulslayer | yes | 20:55 |
| soulslayer | ... i see i can connect from the command line | 20:56 |
| urlin2u | !nomodeset cheeseyc_ | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: what is the wireless interface name? | 20:56 |
| soulslayer | wlan0 | 20:56 |
| soulslayer | all of the interfaces are fully operational | 20:56 |
| soulslayer | i can connect to my home dhcp server | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: weird, sounds like everything is in order | 20:56 |
| soulslayer | yep it is | 20:56 |
| soulslayer | just the nm-applet | 20:56 |
| soulslayer | cannot get any devices information | 20:56 |
| urlin2u | !nomodeset | cheeseyc_ | 20:56 |
| ubottu | cheeseyc_: 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 | 20:56 |

| gsr | hi all. I have a few services (ie mysql) that are starting on boot - I want to disable this. I tried update-rc.d -f mysql remove, but it can't find anything in /etc/init.d to remove. | 21:08 |
| Kirbyblade0|Wii | Wow, quite alot of people here. | 21:08 |
| gsr | how do I find whats starting them? | 21:08 |
| puff | My sound mysteriously stopped working. | 21:09 |
| puff | I tried the volume knobs and worked through the troubleshooting steps, no dice. Any ideas? | 21:09 |
| nd456 | <ActionParsnip> humm... well im going to reupdate to 11.10 after a wipe back to 10.04... but how can i fix this when i reupdate? | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | puff: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse; rm -r ~/.pulse-cookie | 21:09 |
| cheeseyc | Thank you again everybody who helped me, particularly urlin2u. Just one last issue I think - networking is disabled and I don't know why? | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | nd456: i ca give a link if you want | 21:09 |
| nd456 | <ActionParsnip> what would be fantastic | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | nd456: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | nd456: personally I wouldn't bother | 21:10 |
| nd456 | <ActionParsnip> it would explain why somtimes i have a 640x640 resolution | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | nd456: its the boot screen, it is around for about 0 seconds, and the OS does load, so who cares | 21:10 |
| TehAndrewRyan_ | jrib: I don't have permission to mount the USB-stick from my new account, how do I add that? | 21:10 |
| cheeseyc | ...never mind :) /leaves | 21:11 |
| === michael1 is now known as tommy12 | ||
| jrib | TehAndrewRyan_: assuming your usb stick uses vfat, if you just plug in your usb stick it should be automounted and your user should be allowed to modify it. If you need this new user to have sudo access, you must add him to the "admin" group: adduser USERNAME admin | 21:11 |
| nd456 | ActionParsnip> wait, i think this is a different issue... grub dose its thing then a blank cursor comup and stay's untill i press a button on my keyboard or the power button (hdd activity light goe's off untill i presss a button | 21:12 |
| puff | ActionParsnip: And then what, reboot? | 21:12 |
| puff | ActionParsnip: Or restart pulseaudio? | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | puff: pulseaudio restarts itself :), try some sound apps | 21:13 |
| puff | ActionParsnip: Still nothing. | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | puff: if you run: alsamixer are all levels cranked and unmuted? | 21:14 |
| puff | ActionParsnip: Everything except analog mic boost. | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nd456: remove the boot options: quiet splash then you can watch the bootup, may give clues | 21:14 |
| puff | ActionParsnip: I don't see any sign of mute, how do i turn it on/.off? | 21:14 |
| TehAndrewRyan_ | jrib: How come I can't login with GUI on my standard account? | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | puff: all I can suggest is a reboot, my sound troubleshooting is basic at best | 21:15 |
| jrib | TehAndrewRyan_: see the first suggestion I gave you (regarding ~/.xsession-errors) | 21:15 |
| nd456 | <ActionParsnip> ok, but im gonna update first... thanks for the idea's | 21:15 |
| TehAndrewRyan_ | jrib: Where do I find that file then? | 21:18 |

| arooni-mobile | how can i make a given program appear on top of all other windows in other workspaces (running ubuntu 11.10) | 21:23 |
| tiox | Can someone confirm if devilspie/gdevilspie works on Ubuntu 11.10 for arooni-mobile | 21:25 |
| tiox | ? | 21:25 |
| TehAndrewRyan_ | jrib: That file is full of text, anything in specific to search for? | 21:25 |
| zeed_ | i | 21:26 |
| jrib | TehAndrewRyan_: yes look for something that would cause your session to quit | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | tiox: i've used it in the past | 21:27 |
| TehAndrewRyan_ | I mean, it's thousands of lines long, can I Ctrl + F to find something in particular that might cause the session to quit? | 21:27 |
| jrib | TehAndrewRyan_: start at the bottom... | 21:28 |
| tiox | ActionParsnip: Reason I asked is because I seem to be having difficulty using it with GNOME-Shell. | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | tiox: hmm, not sure there dude. Could contact the gdevilspie team to enquire | 21:29 |
| tiox | Otherwise arooni-mobile , see if using the Compiz Window Rules plugin (accessible via CCSM) works in Unity/Ubuntu 2D/Ubuntu 3D) | 21:30 |
| tiox | I don't even use GNOME-shell anymore because I sorts disliked how it worked. But the shell with Unity is awesome. | 21:30 |
| tiox | Aside from the non-flexible top panel. But beside that, Unity is awesome. | 21:31 |
| tiox | Eventhough people were using the top panel in conjunction with stand-alone DockbarX for awhile. | 21:31 |
| soulslayer | ActionParsnip, the problem was in the policies of the debus | 21:32 |

| metalforever | hey | 21:37 |
| conbot | how can i set up wireless on ubuntu server?(command line) | 21:37 |
| metalforever | ifconfig | 21:37 |
| conbot | using iwconfig | 21:37 |
| conbot | ehm | 21:37 |
| conbot | yeh | 21:37 |
| metalforever | see which one is the wireless connection | 21:37 |
| XEDDO | i have ubuntu 11.04, and i want to install a custom login screen (aka change gdm theme) but i dont have the tabs/settings in the login screen settings window. am i even running gdm? and if not how do i start to use it? | 21:37 |
| conbot | it is not listed. | 21:37 |
| metalforever | probably wlan0 or similar | 21:37 |
| metalforever | okay, then you need to install a driver. | 21:37 |
| Zeelot | does anyone know if you can connect the new cinema displays (thunderbolt) to a macbook pro running ubuntu? | 21:37 |
| metalforever | what is the name of the card? | 21:38 |
| metalforever | @ conbot | 21:38 |
| ensi | i like linux. you never have extra time from fixing this | 21:38 |
| conbot | I have installed the wl driver on my system and the one before it(gentoo), and i remember that on ubuntu desktop, the interface was eth1 | 21:38 |
| Ademan | anyone know where a good place to get help with advanced cdrdao and/or cdrecord usage is? | 21:38 |
| metalforever | okay | 21:39 |
| metalforever | so you are telling me it IS there when you do an ifconfig? | 21:39 |
| conbot | no | 21:39 |
| metalforever | if it isnt the wireless driver isnt properly configured | 21:39 |
| conbot | it is not | 21:39 |
| metalforever | and you need to do that. | 21:39 |
| conbot | there is no interface eth1 | 21:39 |
| metalforever | modprobe the driver | 21:39 |
| conbot | only eth0 and virtb0 | 21:39 |
| metalforever | modprobe the driver | 21:39 |
| metalforever | so... figure out the module name | 21:39 |
| conbot | wl | 21:40 |
| conbot | says it is not there | 21:40 |
| metalforever | and then do | 21:40 |
| metalforever | "sudo modprobe modulename here" | 21:40 |
| conbot | k | 21:41 |
| metalforever | it should show up then when you ifconfig.. if not, do "ifconfig eth1 up" | 21:41 |
| conbot | the module name should be wl | 21:41 |
| conbot | not there | 21:41 |
| metalforever | wait, paste the error. | 21:41 |
| conbot | no such interface. | 21:41 |
| Gergov | hi guys i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and google chrome browser and flash-player from Synaptic PManager. but the thing is flash crashes a lot.. i watch youtube or any other flash videos.. and sometimes it justs goes gray color and i have to refresh the browser. any ideas why or how to fix that? | 21:41 |
| Otend | Gergov: you'll probably have to update. | 21:42 |
| Gergov | Otend, update flash player? | 21:42 |
| metalforever | conbot, copy and paste what you are typing into the terminal and the response. | 21:42 |
| Otend | Yep; that's what worked for me ,at least. | 21:42 |
| Otend | x64? | 21:42 |
| metalforever | is that when you modprobe? | 21:42 |
| metalforever | then its not installed at all | 21:42 |
| metalforever | reinstall the driver. | 21:42 |
| metalforever | but, once installed(get a paper and pen) do the following: | 21:42 |
| metalforever | modprobe it | 21:42 |
| metalforever | ifconfig eth1 up | 21:42 |
| metalforever | iwconfig eth1 essid (essid here) | 21:43 |
| metalforever | iwlist scanning to scan if you dont know. | 21:43 |
| metalforever | and then do : | 21:43 |
| metalforever | dhclient eth1 | 21:43 |
| metalforever | that should do it | 21:43 |

| Gergov | Otend, well here is the thing.. my laptop is very old and i always installed x32 things.. but now i installed ubuntu from wubu and now i need to install x64 programs like skype and other.. | 21:43 |
| conbot | no X11 | 21:43 |
| metalforever | you dont need x11 | 21:44 |
| Otend | oh; it's probably an x86 system, I am guessing | 21:44 |
| Gergov | yes | 21:44 |
| KM0201 | Gergov: why did you install 64bit ubuntu with Wubi, if your laptop is 32bit? | 21:44 |
| Otend | ^pretty much that | 21:44 |
| conbot | Gergov: if your processor in 32 bit ur screwed. btw, 64bit apps can not run on 32bit computers | 21:44 |
| conbot | yeah? | 21:44 |
| Gergov | KM0201, i didnt know that its x64.. i went to ubuntu archive and there it was the only wubu.exe for 10.10 | 21:44 |
| KM0201 | honestly, a 64bit OS, should error out during the install process on a 32bit system.. but i don't know anything about Wubi.. i avoid it like Windows given it's inherent problems | 21:45 |
| KM0201 | Gergov: well, boot windows, and uninstall Ubuntu, that would be a start. | 21:45 |
| Gergov | ok thanks | 21:45 |
| KM0201 | Gergov: then.. once you've removed wubi from orbit | 21:46 |
| KM0201 | download the 32bit ISO, burn it to a CD, boot the CD, and install like a normal person. | 21:46 |
| KM0201 | wubi is to TEST the oS... not run it regularly.. hang out here a while and watch the problems that wubi causes. | 21:46 |
| Gergov | yeah i was lazy to make a new partition thats why i tried wubu | 21:46 |

| tiox | What if I were to use unetbootin? | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | tomodachi: not really looked into it really, it should make youtube a bit smoother | 22:08 |
| conbot | is that command line based instructs? | 22:08 |
| prower | hello :> i've noticed this problem in both 11.04 and 11.10, i've been trying to find a bug on launchpad but so far i've been unsuccessful...basically, 1) insert a usb key, 2) try to copy data to and from it, 3) either a kernel panic occurs or the transfer fails and you need to reboot to get usb functionality back :< | 22:08 |
| tiox | I mean, at least I should be able to use unetbootin to chainlink between bootloaders for 32-bit and 64-bit, and rename the two copies of wubi to wubi32 and wubi64 | 22:08 |
| szal | prower: no such problem here; probably a hardware defect (USB stick and/or port) | 22:10 |
| === tobias is now known as Unbekannter | ||
| conbot | That is Not Command Line Based | 22:10 |
| === Unbekannter is now known as UnbekannterDritt | ||
| metalforever | yes, that is command line based. | 22:10 |
| metalforever | all instructions i am giving you are command line | 22:10 |
| metalforever | you need to run it using sudo. | 22:11 |
| === UnbekannterDritt is now known as aliasasas | ||
| metalforever | sudo "command" | 22:11 |
| aliasasas | asdf | 22:11 |
| conbot | look at step 2. | 22:11 |
| metalforever | or sudo bash | 22:11 |
| tiox | I'll give it a go with the 32-bit copy and see how well it runs from USB first. | 22:11 |
| bekks | conbot: apt-get is a cmdline tool. | 22:11 |
| prower | szal: possibly, yes...i've tried two different sticks on all the different ports with no luck though...in addition to that the "safely remove" option for USB storage causes a kernel panic when you use it :< that bug is on launchpad, a fixed kernel is in -proposed but who knows when that will be out | 22:12 |
| tiox | Then again, another thing unetbootin might do is not chainlink, but instead compile the boot info into the unetbootin boot loader and make a list of available distrosto boot from. | 22:12 |
| conbot | CHECK STEP 2 | 22:12 |

| mikeru | in fact, I think that's all you need to do | 22:51 |
| conbot | help! | 22:51 |
| mikeru | the nouveau driver is not removed when you install nvidia | 22:51 |
| tomodachi | mikeru: done, still its us (even efter reboot) | 22:51 |
| mikeru | (but you do need to remove nvidia to use nouveau) | 22:51 |

| BluesKaj | conbot, did you try the b43-fwcutter ? that's about all I can think of right now | 23:03 |
| conbot | yes. | 23:03 |
| mikeru | psychx-: I don't think it'd be that slow that you'd have to disable compiz.. | 23:04 |
| BluesKaj | well then I'm stumped | 23:04 |
| mikeru | have you tried installing the proprietary drivers? | 23:04 |
| conbot | heh? | 23:04 |
| BluesKaj | BBL, stuff to do | 23:04 |
| conbot | yeah | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | conbot: if you run: sudo rfkill list does it show the interface is blocked? | 23:04 |
| conbot | linux-sta | 23:04 |
| conbot | when i ifconfig, eth1 is not there | 23:04 |
| mikeru | psychx-: are you on 11.10? | 23:04 |
| conbot | that is what it is when i used ubuntu desktop | 23:05 |
| psychx- | mikeru: Yes, it shows 2 proprietary drivers available - but one (that says post-update) will not work. And yes, I'm on 11.10. | 23:05 |

| whyameye | ActionParsnip: I was the one having trouble booting a live CD. The MD5 checked out ok. I burned at the slowest speed and now it boots! Thanks again for the help. | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | conbot: could install desktop OS, setup the device then remove xorg and it will remove the desktop guff | 23:06 |
| psychx- | mikeru: Also, it is usable but everything seems very slow.. I even disabled some visual settings. | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | whyameye: always always burn as slowly as possible | 23:06 |
| conbot | ActionParship: but i dont want all that other crap | 23:07 |
| conbot | and its leftovers | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | whyameye: thats also why I always ask as people insist on burning as fast as possible, and then itmore than likely won't work ;) | 23:07 |
| mikeru | psychx-: well... I'm not using the ubuntu provided ones as they aren't compatible with my iMac 12,2 (it has a AMD 6770 and support was added in 11.9 which isn't in ubuntu's repos, 11.8 was sloooooow and showed an ugly unsupported hardware watermark) so I can't speak about your post-update driver problems. | 23:08 |
| mikeru | but, as for everything being slow, I think I can | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | conbot: the other stuff will fail deps as xorg is the underlying GUI, so it will all be removed | 23:08 |
| mikeru | mine was slow too | 23:09 |
| mikeru | to fix it: | 23:09 |
| mikeru | psychx-: Open AMD Catalyst Control Center, go to Display Options->Tear Free->Enable Tear Free Desktop to reduce tearing. | 23:10 |
| mikeru | click OK | 23:10 |

| winnie666 | possibly stupid question: is the UUID of HDs the same across computers? | 23:11 |
| psychx- | mikeru: ok | 23:11 |
| mikeru | psychx-: after that, open Software Center and install CompizConifg Settings Manager (not the 'Simple' one!) | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | conbot: could keep it in the holser if you get nowhere | 23:11 |
| paissad_ | winnie666, no | 23:11 |
| Fusionite | Isn't UUID Uniqe ? | 23:11 |
| winnie666 | really? well i am happy i asked then :) | 23:11 |
| coolfire | hi | 23:11 |
| mikeru | psychx-: then go to OpenGL and uncheck Sync To VBlank | 23:11 |
| conbot | meh | 23:14 |
| psychx- | mikeru: alright ill give it a try | 23:14 |
| conbot | im just gonna install x and gnome etc | 23:14 |
| psychx- | mikeru: should i stay in 3d or go to 2d | 23:14 |
| mikeru | I have no idea how fglrx works and why its Sync to VBlank settings (Tear Free) conflict with compiz ones (which doesn't happen with nvidia's drivers nor any of the open source AMD and Nvidia drivers), but this fixed any choppiness on my iMac, and it's tear free | 23:14 |
| conbot | to make a totally loaded ubuntu system | 23:14 |
| mikeru | psychx-: stay in 3D and do all that | 23:14 |
| mikeru | psychx-: are you already on a proprietary driver? | 23:14 |
| psychx- | mikeru: ok awesome ill give it a try thank you for helping me, and yes i am | 23:14 |
| mikeru | psychx-: ok, do that. and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE IN COMPIZCONFIG. it's incredibly broken on 11.10, and it's quite easy to lose unity and it's a nightmare to get it back | 23:16 |
| winnie666 | paissad, UUID is stored in the filesystem, so how can it change if i move an HD from one computer to the other? | 23:16 |
| mikeru | anyway I came here with a question of my own. how can I use two internet connections for different applications? I have two ISPs at home, and I want to download torrents through one, and do everything else through the other connection | 23:18 |
| coolfire | hi i need help | 23:19 |
| mikeru | one is connected through wireless and the other through ethernet, but I can connect one through ethernet and the other through USB if wireless would be much more cumbersome to configure than this weird request of mine already is :) | 23:20 |
| mikeru | obviously, right now I'm only connected through one | 23:20 |

| ActionParsnip | mikeru: you can combine them to one super connection | 23:30 |

| ActionParsnip | mikeru: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding | 23:31 |
| mikeru | ActionParsnip: but I'm worried about the torrents taking all the bandwidth of both connections. even when I set transmission to slow mode I can't browse the web on my current connection | 23:31 |
| Virus | No one could have this nickname | 23:32 |
| === Virus is now known as BiosDestroyer | ||
| BiosDestroyer | :) | 23:32 |

| mikeru | ActionParsnip: that's the slow (turtle icon) mode | 23:32 |
| mikeru | right? | 23:32 |
| mikeru | it's on | 23:32 |
| mikeru | i set it to only 10 kbps | 23:33 |
| mikeru | and pages load slowly | 23:33 |
| mikeru | as soon as I quit transmission, pages load inmediatly | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: there is the normal speed, then set the speed between the 2 times to be different (if you wish) | 23:33 |
| === asus is now known as Guest61417 | ||
| mikeru | and it's not a terribly slow connection, it's a modest 10Mnps | 23:33 |

| bsmith093 | when i run top, what the the + next to the time column mean? | 23:34 |
| bsmith093 | time+? | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: if you combine both is it as impacting? | 23:35 |
| psychx- | mikeru: Ok, seems like it's running better. | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: which version of transmission and release of ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| mikeru | ActionParsnip: 2.40, 11.10 | 23:36 |
| === ndevastator is now known as enikm4 | ||
| mikeru | psychx-: that doesn't sound satisfactory. | 23:36 |
| psychx- | mikeru: what do you mean? | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: 2.42 version, may help | 23:37 |
| mikeru | psychx-: sounds like your improvement was 'just a small one'. mine was HUGE | 23:37 |
| mikeru | ActionParsnip: I'm on the transmissionbt/beta ppa. I did that yesterday | 23:38 |
| psychx- | mikeru: maybe there is something wrong with some of my hardware or something. it does seem like it is running more smoothly, but it still feels a little muddy. | 23:38 |
| gdoteof | i have a second wireless card (one in addition to the built in one on my laptop) and plugging it in has it automatically connect to the same network the built in card is on | 23:39 |
| mikeru | I was on the stable (ppa:transmissionbt/ppa) one yesterday (before I replaced it with the beta ppa) | 23:39 |
| theborger | anyone point me to a good readme on seting up a mail server on 10.04? | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: you said 2.40 the ppa has 2.42.... | 23:39 |
| gdoteof | is there a way i can seperate the two out? i just want to disconnect it from the network and play around with aircrack | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | theborger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer | 23:39 |
| gdoteof | 11.04 | 23:40 |
| mikeru | psychx-: hmm... try going to Composite->uncheck Detect Refresh Rate and set the slider below to 60 | 23:40 |
| qin | gdoteof: first two steps are: ifconfig, iwconfig... | 23:40 |
| qin | gdoteof: Then probably you want to: sudo airmon start wlan1 | 23:41 |
| qin | *airmon-ng | 23:41 |
| mikeru | ActionParsnip: funny, I thought I did see 2.42 in the ppa webpage, but after adding it (and of course updating the repo list) I'm only being offered 2.33-0ubuntu2 (the one included in ubuntu) and 2.40~ b3-0ubuntu0.11.10.1 | 23:41 |
| psychx- | mikeru: For some reason it's currently set on 50 | 23:42 |
| gdoteof | qin i did ifconfig, the second card is listed, and connected to the same network | 23:42 |
| gdoteof | qin so i did ifconfig wlan1 down | 23:42 |
| gdoteof | and it brought it down | 23:42 |
| BiosDestroyer | I'm out for now guys | 23:42 |
| gdoteof | but as soon as i brought it back up, it was reconnected to the same network | 23:42 |
| mikeru | ActionParsnip: huh. the beta ppa is at 2.40 and the stable at 2.42. and I thought I would be getting newer versions -.- | 23:42 |
| BiosDestroyer | Take care all | 23:42 |
| gdoteof | qin, so my question is, how can i simply disconnect wlan1 from the network it is connected to, but still have it 'up' | 23:43 |
| === BiosDestroyer is now known as Fusionite|AFK | ||
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: ahh, I'm looking at Oneiric | 23:43 |
| qin | gdoteof: put it up and run airmon, since airodump needs card in monitor mode | 23:43 |
| gdoteof | qin: yeah i did that too, sorry. it says it works, the last line is wlan1 / monitor mode enabled | 23:44 |
| gdoteof | qin: but, if i do iwconfig, it shows mode: managed and conected to the wifi network | 23:45 |
| mikeru | psychx-: set it to 60 and disable Detect Refresh Rate. some people say it works with the ATI ones and I'm positive it works with the Nvidia ones, but I'm not really sure if it does improve performance with the ATI drivers as I didn't notice a difference when disabling it and looking at the difference | 23:45 |

| mikeru | do note however that window dragging is still a little bit choppy, on both the open source drivers and the amd ones. I'm not sure why. But something that is much, much faster on the proprietary ones is the Workspace Switcher. try opening it and see how fast it is :P | 23:46 |
