| reisio | hi just you | 00:00 |
| Emiru | How to I get grub back ? Im on a live CD and sudo grub-install /dev/sda says /dev is busy | 00:00 |
| Emiru | cant umount either | 00:00 |
| ramone_ | it's my first time back in IRC since..like...hum... 15 yeras?! lol | 00:00 |
| reisio | Emiru: --no-floppy ? | 00:01 |
| reisio | ramone_: welcome back, suckah | 00:01 |
| ramone_ | thank you mate! | 00:01 |
| haylox | wheres th drive? | 00:01 |
| Emiru | reisio: As a parameter ? sudo grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda ? | 00:02 |
| reisio | right | 00:02 |
| === cyphase_ is now known as cyphase | ||
| Emiru | I get /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). | 00:04 |
| reisio | Emiru: are you chrooted? | 00:04 |
| ramone_ | guys, I have a rtl8781l wireless chipset but, using wireshark, I don't know the difference between capture in promiscuous mode and monitor mode. Monitor Mode means to capture every packet that my wireless card can detect ? | 00:05 |
| Phr3d13 | So how come f10 doesn't appear to apply boot edits in the grub configuration option | 00:05 |
| Emiru | reisio: chroot ? | 00:05 |
| reisio | Emiru: so no | 00:06 |
| warfaren | chroot means change root, so right now your root is your live cd environment and thats why you need to chroot | 00:07 |
| Emiru | lol I guess not | 00:07 |
| reisio | Emiru: try this stuff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 00:07 |
| Emiru | reisio: Will do thanks | 00:07 |
| skypent | If I decide to downgrade, uninstall 11.10 & install 9.04; Is there a way I can stop the os from updating to later versions? | 00:08 |
| reisio | skypent: it shouldn't on its own | 00:08 |
| reisio | skypent: why 9.04, though | 00:08 |
| skypent | There's a glitch with drive reading with 9.10 and 11.10 that the forums I'm looking at (the users can't resolve) | 00:09 |
| skypent | So I'd rather just go down and not deal with it. | 00:09 |
| lewis1711 | I keep getting "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." when trying to do 11.04 -> 11.10. I've used computer janitor, disabled my third party sources, and autoremove. halp? | 00:09 |

| almoxarife | lewis1711: you familiar with synaptic? | 00:13 |
| lewis1711 | almoxarife: yes | 00:14 |
| a_p3rson1 | can someone help me with mounting another drive (windows) at startup? 10.10 | 00:15 |
| almoxarife | lewis1711: look at 'local/obsolete' tab, is part of your system showing up with all ppa's unchecked? | 00:15 |
| mbeierl | how does one remove all the ppa's on a system in order to prepare for dist-upgrade? | 00:15 |
| ohzie | Hey guys. | 00:15 |
| warfaren | a_p3rson1: add it to /etc/fstab | 00:16 |
| ohzie | When I type "mv *.jpg sort/" I get an error message. "invalid option: -- '1'" <--Which is weird because I checked my aliases and I don't have any aliases, and this command used to work. | 00:16 |
| reisio | ohzie: you might have a - in a filename, try mv -- *.jpg sort/ | 00:16 |
| a_p3rson1 | warfaren: i could use some help on that one. | 00:16 |
| lewis1711 | almoxarife: where's that tab? does computer janitor not remove the obsolete ones anyway? | 00:16 |
| reisio | ohzie: to be clearer, you might have a file starting with, for example, '--1' | 00:17 |
| reisio | ohzie: which the application has trouble discerning as a parameter or not | 00:17 |
| warfaren | ok first open fstab in a text editor as root | 00:17 |
| reisio | ohzie: -- means 'no more params' | 00:17 |
| ohzie | reisio: I have one file that starts with '-' | 00:17 |
| ohzie | it is '-1.jpg' | 00:17 |
| reisio | ohzie: that's probably the culprit | 00:17 |
| warfaren | for example sudo nano /etc/fstab | 00:17 |
| ohzie | is that doing this? | 00:17 |
| reisio | ohzie: most likely | 00:17 |
| ohzie | Oh man thank you | 00:17 |
| a_p3rson1 | ok then working on it | 00:17 |
| reisio | ohzie: the program 'detox' I believe takes care of those in filenames, as well as various other things | 00:18 |
| a_p3rson1 | warfaren: ready | 00:18 |
| reisio | ohzie: personally I tend to just use foo -- bar and ignore it :p or rename on a case-by-case | 00:18 |
| * reisio is lazy | 00:18 | |
| warfaren | would someone else please help him with the fstab syntax. cant remember it on top of my head and not at my computer now | 00:18 |
| almoxarife | lewis1711: did you load up ppa's on your system? | 00:18 |
| lewis1711 | yes. they're gone now | 00:19 |
| almoxarife | lewis1711: gone? how did you gone them? | 00:19 |
| Emiru | In Boot-Repair, the Grub tab is grey and empty, any one knows what to do? | 00:19 |
| warfaren | a_p3rson1: i guess your windows drive is ntfs? | 00:19 |
| mbeierl | yes... I'm curious as I'd like to gone mine too :) | 00:19 |
| a_p3rson1 | this is true, yes. | 00:19 |
| bsmith093 | whens the next lts release? | 00:20 |
| lewis1711 | almoxarife: synaptic->settings->repositories, removed them from "Ubuntu software" and "authentification" | 00:20 |
| reisio | probably 'round about the same time of year the last one was | 00:20 |
| Xeneth | how do I add personalized commands? | 00:20 |
| mbeierl | bsmith093: I think it's 12.04 | 00:20 |
| mbeierl | !LTS | 00:20 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 00:20 |
| reisio | Xeneth: you can use 'alias' (help alias) or functions with Bash | 00:20 |
| warfaren | alright so if no1 else can help you with that just google add ntfs to fstab | 00:20 |
| reisio | Xeneth: talk to #bash to learn more, or man bash | 00:21 |
| a_p3rson1 | warfaren: is there any specific syntax to only do auto-mount? | 00:21 |
| Xeneth | help alias | 00:21 |
| warfaren | and it should be clear probably. you need to know your device name for your ntfs partition. and no, anything in fstab will be automounted | 00:22 |
| reisio | Xeneth: in a terminal | 00:22 |
| robin0800 | bsmith093: yes 04 12 as we say here | 00:22 |
| almoxarife | mbeierl: to rid them safely ( and its still not safe 100%) requires a 'ppa purge' then if you are lucky you might have a virgin ubuntu system, and that is not what usually happens | 00:22 |
| Xeneth | reisio, yea, just had wrong window active | 00:22 |
| reisio | 'help' is Bash's built-in command for information on its built-in commands | 00:22 |
| reisio | ah :p | 00:22 |
| a_p3rson1 | warfaren: got it, found a page on the ubuntu wiki on automounting, shows all the syntax needed. | 00:22 |
| a_p3rson1 | thank you, | 00:22 |
| warfaren | youll have to choose and set a permanent mount point tno | 00:22 |
| Xeneth | reisio, thanks | 00:22 |
| warfaren | sweet :) | 00:22 |
| reisio | Xeneth: somewhat more simply, alias foo="bar" in ~/.bashrc | 00:22 |
| mbeierl | almoxarife: ah. Thanks! | 00:22 |
| reisio | Xeneth: and source ~/.bashrc if you want to use the new alias in the existing session | 00:23 |
| reisio | Xeneth: there are probably some in there already you can use as examples | 00:23 |
| almoxarife | lewis1711: you unchecked the ppa, and that is where you left it? | 00:24 |
| Xeneth | reisio, May make it a bit more clear if I explain. I want to use minicom with 4 serial ports to network devices. Want to make a simple command in place of typing out the command with all the augments. Example: "R1 = minicom -s ttyS1" (I know that's not exactly right, but not on my server right now. | 00:26 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Phr3d13 | Finally got my Ubuntu to boot, thanks to all that got me started | 00:28 |
| reisio | Xeneth: oh | 00:28 |
| reisio | Xeneth: you can just dump all the commands on separate lines into a file | 00:28 |
| reisio | Xeneth: and run sh filename in the future | 00:28 |
| Phr3d13 | Apparently f10 doesn't do the same as ctrl - x | 00:32 |
| reisio | Phr3d13: really? | 00:32 |
| reisio | doesn't it say use either? | 00:32 |
| Phr3d13 | Yup | 00:32 |

| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| Xeneth | reisio, Thank, that's what I was looking for. I assume that it will not stay through reboot so should I make a script to run at start that redoes it? | 00:32 |
| a_p3rson1 | how would i include spaces in a drive label in fstab? the wiki says uses \040 | 00:32 |
| faro | #ubuntu-br | 00:33 |
| reisio | Xeneth: if you want, I don't know what you're doing | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | a_p3rson1: I'd change the label | 00:33 |
| reisio | Xeneth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RcLocalHowto | 00:33 |
| a_p3rson1 | ActionParsnip: really? any limitation to it? | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | a_p3rson1: just keep it short and without spaces | 00:33 |
| a_p3rson1 | and, thats also the preset drive label ("Windows 7") | 00:33 |
| Xeneth | reisio, Basicly trying to simplify connection through multiple serial ports. | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | a_p3rson1: I beleieve you can escape spaes in fstab, or you may be able to use quotes | 00:33 |
| Emiru | reisio: Boot-repair's grub tab are grey and nothing is on them, any idea ? | 00:33 |
| a_p3rson1 | it says escape spaces by using \040 does that mean replace the spaces with that? | 00:33 |
| reisio | Xeneth: more simply without calling 'sh' you can put #!/bin/bash at the top of the file, and chmod +x it | 00:33 |
| warfaren | a_p3rson1: maybe you should consider relabelling the drive tho? it wont affect windows in any wah | 00:33 |
| reisio | Xeneth: then just ./file would work | 00:33 |
| warfaren | way | 00:33 |

| reisio | I've forgotten the name | 00:34 |
| Emiru | reisio: oh nvm ill google it :P | 00:34 |
| reisio | zacarias: pdfshuffler | 00:34 |

| albert | Is there a way to amplify the master volume beyond 100% (like in vlc)? | 00:40 |
| albert | (ubuntu 11.10) | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | albert: there is the option in the sound icon on the panel | 00:41 |
| reisio | albert: with Pulse there should be, yes | 00:41 |
| albert | ah, using fluxbox, do you know the command? | 00:42 |
| albert | for the systemtray icon i guess | 00:43 |
| zacarias | and a software for pdf annotating? | 00:44 |
| albert | Where are the gnome2 autostarts stored? | 00:47 |
| almoxarife | albert: sound settings gui allows over 100% | 00:48 |
| albert | yeah, searching for the command to start the systemtray icon for the fluxbox startup | 00:49 |

| Akiyama-san | how can i apply this patch into my system -> https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/5/289 ? | 00:49 |
| Akiyama-san | can someone please help me/ | 00:49 |
| reisio | Akiyama-san: it's from 2007, so if it was worth having at all, it's already applied | 00:50 |
| reisio | Akiyama-san: otherwise you would need a copy of the kernel from 2007, which is not the sanest approach | 00:50 |
| Akiyama-san | well, anyway, how can i apply patches like this one? | 00:50 |
| reisio | okay like this one | 00:50 |
| reisio | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_%28Unix%29#Usage_examples | 00:50 |
| reisio | also for a patch that simple it's a no brainer to do it manually | 00:51 |

| ActionParsnip | Is there an app that connects to the remote app in VLC which isn't the web browser? | 00:52 |

| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: I run vlc on a server and I connect to it using vlc remote on my android phone and control it remotely, I can also do the same on my laptop but I use the web interface | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: was curious if there was an application, kinda like transgui is to transmission | 00:59 |
| YawningAngel | Oh please, it's a one-line question with a simple yes/no answer | 00:59 |
| YawningAngel | I'm quite sure that the policies will manage | 00:59 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: ah, understood now. And for a moment had read VNC, not VLC. I'm not familiar with the remote in VLC, so sorry to get your hopes up... | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | YawningAngel: yes it will as far as I recall | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: vncis nasty | 01:00 |
| YawningAngel | Thanks very much, thought so ;p | 01:00 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: yes. which is why I started piping up :) | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: you can enable the remote http console in advanced settings, then edit the .hosts file to allow your network subnet, you can then control VNC with a remote app or web interface rather than slow VNC | 01:01 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: ... wait ... I'm getting confused between the N and L again. Are you really referring to VLC in the last statement, or the desktop control software? | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: yes, I do not use and hate VNC | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: http://hobbyistsoftware.com/images/VLCImages/win-prefs.png | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: http://blog.npike.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/vlc-http.JPG | 01:03 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: ok. because that last statement sounded quite off for a VNC server. Yes, I have turned that on before, back in my days of trying to do cheap monitoring via a webcam. Had it stream the cam over vlc | 01:04 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: but I gave that up in favour of an auto-answer skype session. it just worked better :) | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: I use it to control VNC, I have an app on my phone, but was curious if an app existed | 01:04 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: you mean VLC, not N, correct? | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: always L, VLC by videoLan | 01:05 |
| mbeierl | Sorry :) | 01:05 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: and now that we've generated enough traffic, I'm hoping someone else might be able to chime in ... ? Bueller? | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: I agree | 01:07 |
| a_p3rson | I noticed that when I turn my machine on, at the plymouth splash screen, I now get an "Errors were found while checking the drive for /" message, with options to fix, recover, ignore and skip...ignoring works, but is there any fix to this? | 01:07 |
| mbeierl | a_p3rson: don't ignore? tell it to fix/recovery | 01:09 |
| robin0800 | a_p3rson: think that is an error in fstab when something called is not mounting | 01:09 |
| infekted | anyone know how to change expo to not have the gap when you move unity launcher to bottom of screen? | 01:09 |
| a_p3rson | robin0800: it works fine if I hit ignore | 01:09 |

| a_p3rson | robin0800: any idea on how to do that? | 01:12 |
| ghufran | i am in the middle of the install process. i am changing the partitions. i only see option to make fat32 partition which is supported by windows .. | 01:12 |
| balistic22 | thank you ubotto | 01:13 |
| balistic22 | #ubuntu-powerpc | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: what do you desire? | 01:13 |
| ghufran | ActionParsnip: NTFS | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: I'd only make that in windows personally, it is proprietary to Microsoft | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: you can install ntfsprogs and can format NTFS though | 01:14 |
| reisio | even if it isn't simple from the install media, you can post-install, yes | 01:14 |
| mbeierl | ghufran: just leave the space (an empty partition) for it during the install, then like ActionParsnip says, after the install is complete, you may choose to use ntfsprogs to make an NTFS filesystem for you | 01:14 |
| ghufran | ActionParsnip: hmm .. okay. but i dont have internet access on the laptop i am trying to install it on .. | 01:15 |
| robin0800 | a_p3rson: no not really and not sure what fix/repair does either perhaps worth a try | 01:15 |
| ghufran | ah.. ok | 01:15 |
| mbeierl | ghufran: but, be forewarned: the support for file ownership/acls is limited in Linux, so once NTFS is mounted, it treats all files as being owned by the UID which did the mounting. | 01:15 |
| reisio | mkfs.ntfs/mkntfs | 01:15 |
| ghufran | mbeierl: that's okay. i dont really care about file permissions. i just don't want the 4GB / file limitation of fat32 | 01:16 |
| mbeierl | a_p3rson: I am pretty sure that error message is from the fsck disk check on boot, and it is telling you there are problems on the file system. it will wait for your input on EVERY boot until you get the file system corrected | 01:16 |
| mbeierl | ghufran: it's not there anymore :) | 01:16 |
| warfaren | a_p3rson: can you pate your entire line in fstab that mounts your ntfs drive? | 01:16 |
| warfaren | paste* | 01:17 |
| a_p3rson | egh...let me look | 01:17 |
| a_p3rson | was gonna say, pate is a delicious treat, not something you can do on IRC. | 01:17 |
| ghufran | mbeierl: what do you mean? :S i get errors on one of my far32 disks | 01:17 |
| hsmod | hey all. is there an app i can use to transfer mp3s ON to my iphone4? | 01:17 |
| ghufran | also. is it possible to change the language of ubuntu after the install? | 01:18 |
| reisio | hsmod: bluetooth would probably be simplest | 01:18 |
| mbeierl | ghufran: most of the portable USB disks that you get (like 1TB ones from WD) are formatted using FAT so they can be used in Windows, Mac and Linux. They are definitely not NTFS | 01:18 |
| reisio | oh? | 01:18 |
| xangua | hsmod: rhythmbox, banshee, gtkpod | 01:18 |
| xangua | etc | 01:18 |

| hsmod | Reisio i can do bluetooth mp3 transfer ? | 01:18 |
| reisio | I have only seen NTFS formatted ones | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: sure you can run language support | 01:18 |
| warfaren | yeah sorry im typing on my smartphone, not the best keyboard | 01:18 |
| reisio | hsmod: bluetooth can transfer anything | 01:18 |
| a_p3rson | warfaren: know the feeling. | 01:18 |
| mbeierl | ghufran: same with USB sticks. they are not limited to 4GB for a single filesystem either, yet that are FA | 01:18 |
| ghufran | ActionParsnip: ok thanks! | 01:19 |
| warfaren | it says ext4.. u sure thats the right line? | 01:19 |
| hsmod | xangua, which is the best? | 01:19 |
| mbeierl | reisio: NTFS for usb sticks? Not usually. | 01:19 |
| reisio | oh sorry, I read external for some reason | 01:19 |
| reisio | oh right | 01:19 |
| reisio | because you said 'like 1TB from WD' | 01:19 |
| warfaren | i use NTFS on one of my USB sticks but performance is horrible and safe removal in windows is bitching a lot so not recommended | 01:20 |
| ghufran | ActionParsnip, mbeierl : what is the significance of the mount point for partitions that are not '/' | 01:20 |
| mbeierl | reisio: and then also USB sticks :) For camera cards too. | 01:20 |
| reisio | maybe | 01:20 |
| reisio | but a "1TB WD" is probably going to be NTFS, or nothing at all | 01:20 |
| abstrakt | how do I know if a file is 1080i or 1080p? Here's the output of `ffmpeg -i clip.avi` Stream #0.0: Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p, 1920x1080 [PAR 1:1 DAR 16:9] | 01:20 |
| ghufran | i mean.. will setting the mount point make it auto mount on that location always? | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: its how you interface with block devices | 01:20 |
| mbeierl | ghufran: the mount point is where in the directory structure the file system is going to be shown to you the user | 01:21 |
| reisio | abstrakt: the aspect ratio would suggest i | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: if you define it in /etc/fstab it wil mount to where you say | 01:21 |
| reisio | abstrakt: #ffmpeg might know more | 01:21 |
| warfaren | a_p3rson: did you paste thr right line from fstab? it said ext4 not ntfs | 01:21 |
| a_p3rson | abstrakt: 1920x1080 i believe is 1080p | 01:21 |
| mbeierl | ghufran: there can be only one "/", which represents the start of the entire file system. On MS Windows, that is in a way synonymous with "My Computer" (except in Windows, that is not the real root of the filesystem) | 01:22 |
| a_p3rson | warfaren: different problem now, got the one with the ntfs drive fixed, automounts perfectly | 01:22 |
| reisio | actually they're both that aspect ration :p | 01:22 |
| ghufran | ActionParsnip, mbeierl : so i am making three partitions. one is mounted to '/'. one for swap area. and the last one for data and if i set the mount point to /home/Data it will mount it there? | 01:22 |
| warfaren | u sure? i think 1080i would be considered 1920x1080 too | 01:22 |
| reisio | yeah | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: yes, with the options you set, it will mount at boot | 01:23 |
| JusticeZero | One: If I were to install xubuntu-desktop, would/could that disrupt anything and makethe computer not work right till fixed? Two: Why won't it let me download it? | 01:23 |
| warfaren | well maybe the error you have now is because of the automount of ntfs? | 01:23 |
| reisio | abstrakt: does it mention 'interlace/ing'? | 01:23 |
| mbeierl | ghufran: yes. The "/" partition will have /home and then /home/Data and the contents of /home/Data will be the contents of the partition | 01:23 |
| ghufran | ActionParsnip: so i won't have to put it in fstab? | 01:23 |
| warfaren | or did you have it before too? | 01:23 |
| abstrakt | reisio, no that's the only data it has for the video part | 01:23 |
| abstrakt | that's why i ask | 01:23 |
| a_p3rson | warfaren: abstrakt: 1080i is 2 frames of 1920x580, 1080p is 1 frame of 1920x1080. | 01:24 |
| a_p3rson | and, this problem was before the other one. | 01:24 |
| ghufran | mbeierl: so thats the right 'convention' ? | 01:24 |
| eigar | ub 11.10. When I disable mouse polling in "copmiz config settings manager" teh manager crashes and closes. Is thre other processes that depends on this then those listed here: http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Mousepoll ? (I use none of them) | 01:24 |
| eigar | The mousepoll is enabled by default | 01:24 |
| a_p3rson | ntfs automounting is fixed, this is not. | 01:24 |
| reisio | abstrakt: how about mplayer -v | 01:24 |
| aeon-ltd | JusticeZero: first one, no xfce is relatively stable - nothing will happen (besides saving and moving files) until you log out then log into a xfce session | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: yes you will have to put it in fstab if you want it to mount in a specific folder | 01:25 |
| warfaren | yes i know how interlacing kinda halves it but.. would it really change the res showing? | 01:25 |
| mbeierl | ghufran: yes. it is a different way of thinking about partitions than Microsoft, but yes, that is the idea | 01:25 |
| aeon-ltd | JusticeZero: two, lots of reasons - tell the channel more details | 01:25 |
| warfaren | alright well you said it gave you the option to fix during fsck right? what happens if you do? | 01:26 |
| eigar | I am trying to get rid of some pointer mess. Sometimes the pointer jumps | 01:26 |
| a_p3rson | i dont know, should i try it? | 01:27 |
| JusticeZero | OK, I just don't want any risk of it dislodging any of unity's quirky touchiness. I went to the software center and put in 'xubuntu-desktop' and tried to install it. I get two error dialogs within seconds: "Failed to download package files", then "Requires installation of untrusted packages". | 01:27 |
| abstrakt | reisio, ok so what would I be looking for in this output | 01:28 |
| zorba | Anyone here use radeon HD 6000 series? Does it work with gnome 3 or does it artifact? | 01:29 |
| abstrakt | reisio, does this "MainAVIHeader.dwFlags: (272) HAS_INDEX IS_INTERLEAVED" mean that it's 1080i or is interleaved different than interlaced? | 01:29 |
| JusticeZero | I don't know what is giving me those two errors when it has my password, permission, and a passable connection. | 01:33 |

| warfaren | well go on | 01:42 |
| _jason | arvut: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 01:42 |
| arvut | if I would like to reroute all the irc traffic from pc 1 thru router A to router B and then out in the internet, but both routers being on different wan ips (yes I do have full access to them both), as in ipsec or vpn but without need to reach the other lan | 01:42 |
| dewanna | anyone? | 01:42 |

| arvut | =) | 01:43 |
| dewanna | well you guys are alot of help thanks | 01:43 |
| dewanna | not | 01:44 |
| warfaren | well personally i use ssh tunnels and tsocks to soksify irssi but im sure theres a better way | 01:44 |
| arvut | the general idea is to just reroute irc traffic from PC 1 on router 1's lan to router 2 and then from router 2 out on the www | 01:44 |
| === james is now known as Guest14146 | ||
| arvut | warfaren: the routers doesnt have ssh servers installed :/ | 01:45 |
| arvut | cheap home equipment | 01:45 |
| arvut | if I could then I would have a real serverbox behind each lan to handle everything via ssh and whatnot | 01:46 |
| warfaren | oh.. sorry i was thinking of a machine behind the router.. oh well | 01:46 |
| arvut | yeah, would be much easier | 01:46 |
| warfaren | perhaps if you can install dd-wrt or tomato on the router you could run an ssh server on them tho? | 01:47 |
| warfaren | i hear it will let you do tons of cool stufd | 01:47 |
| arvut | not opensource routers, so cant do | 01:47 |

| pokpong | i just installed Xorg onto a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 11.10 but after startx the keyboard is not even workin ?!? can someone help me please? | 01:49 |
| lowkie | arvut, is this for a specific protocol? irc? http? | 01:49 |
| arvut | lowkie: yes, I want to tunnel my irc traffic | 01:49 |
| arvut | can it be encapsulated in ipsec? | 01:49 |
| BernSamson | how do you terminate a program? | 01:50 |
| Tech-1 | pkill | 01:50 |
| arvut | or kill | 01:50 |
| BernSamson | pkill in terminal? | 01:50 |
| Tech-1 | ya | 01:50 |
| BernSamson | pkill 'app' | 01:50 |
| Tech-1 | ^ | 01:50 |
| BernSamson | thanks | 01:50 |
| lowkie | arvut, there used to be a program called bounce. You run it on a server and force it to one irc server. You use your client to connect to the bounce server and it will "proxy" you to the irc server | 01:50 |
| Tech-1 | np | 01:50 |
| reisio | abstrakt: sounds like a question for the internet, or #mplayer | 01:51 |
| pokpong | why does the keyboard works in tty but not in xorg?? | 01:51 |
| BernSamson | didn't work | 01:52 |
| BernSamson | still up | 01:52 |
| lowkie | arvut, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_(software) | 01:52 |
| tf_enya | can I use Realtek ALC883 codec in Ubuntu 10.10? | 01:52 |
| arvut | lowkie: yeah, but as I mentioned, these routers are only cheap home equipment for setting up a small lan. can't install bouncers on them | 01:53 |
| Tech-1 | try pkill -9 | 01:53 |
| arvut | but ty anyway | 01:53 |
| warfaren | try ps aux | grep -i appname to find the exact processname | 01:53 |
| warfaren | or pgrep to get the pid | 01:53 |
| Tech-1 | BernSamson, + u may have to use proper name | 01:53 |
| lowkie | arvut, can you setup a tunnel between them? | 01:53 |
| lowkie | arvut, and use a system behind the 2nd router? | 01:54 |
| arvut | lowkie: I hope so | 01:54 |
| arvut | no, the lan on router2 is to be untouched | 01:54 |
| BernSamson | brb | 01:54 |
| BernSamson | is it safe to do a restart when an app is hung? | 01:55 |
| arvut | i go thru router 1, to router 2's wanport, then out again from router2 | 01:55 |
| reisio | BernSamson: safe enough | 01:55 |
| warfaren | well you shouldnt need to | 01:55 |
| arvut | kill app first BernSamson | 01:55 |
| lowkie | arvut, then your only option is if the routers support VPN…you can route ALL traffic over the vpn tunnel | 01:56 |
| pokpong | anyone knows about configuring Xorg? | 01:56 |

| boxbeatsy | hi all, i just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a fresh system, and i have no internet connection. i've found a thread on the forums that addresses my problem. however, they're asking me to install build-essentials from my install CD, but when i enabled the CD in Software Sources, i got a unable to download error and when i try to apt-get install build-essentials, the terminal showed some errors and was not installed | 02:57 |
| boxbeatsy | does anyone know why i can't instal build-essentials from my install cd? | 02:58 |
| reisio | sausagesquatch: it's a Windows app for managing boot loading | 02:58 |

| pist0l-fish | (used wubi) | 03:27 |
| willwh | ah :) | 03:27 |
| willwh | yeah arch is nice, but, tbh, I don't have the time | 03:27 |
| willwh | give me something with a vibrant community & precompiled packages | 03:27 |
| willwh | to be fair - a few things I do compile from source (eggdrop / ffmpeg etc) | 03:27 |
| pist0l-fish | you'd be surprised- there's very little compilation in arch, and the community is pretty big. most people get the popular packages as binaries | 03:28 |
| willwh | I guess that is Arch though - it's been a long time since I've touched it | 03:28 |
| willwh | it's pacman right? | 03:28 |
| willwh | the arch package manager | 03:28 |
| pist0l-fish | yeah... i love pacman | 03:28 |
| pist0l-fish | so i wonder why the appropriate env variables do not get set on gcc to use the path i just wrote down. should i report this as a bug for x64? | 03:28 |

| kookykookie | can i use dpkg to fetch dependencies for a .deb? | 03:46 |
| tensorpudding | apt-get build-dep | 03:47 |
| vicsar | . | 03:47 |
| kookykookie | the .deb package isnt listed in apt-get | 03:48 |
| emmetea | what command would i use if i wanted to add other operating systems to grubs menu since installation didn't notice them? | 03:48 |
| Tech-1 | sudo update-grub | 03:49 |
| Tech-1 | then u may have to reboot | 03:49 |
| hilarie | Hey you guys are smart.. I am install znc on my server, and its asking for an ident | 03:49 |
| hilarie | Whats that? | 03:49 |
| emmetea | Tech-1, but when i do that it only find the linux partitions | 03:49 |
| Tech-1 | huh, u got windoze on it 2 ?? | 03:50 |
| emmetea | well and the memtest image | 03:50 |
| emmetea | yeah, two flavours | 03:50 |
| Tech-1 | huh, you may have to go and redo the mbr in win | 03:50 |
| Tech-1 | ive only done it once and got lucky | 03:51 |
| brewster | what is up with brasero and all of the other disk writing programs | 03:51 |
| brewster | they all think that dvd's are 1gb | 03:52 |
| e75 | so | 03:52 |
| Tech-1 | lol | 03:52 |
| e75 | anyone | 03:52 |
| e75 | know how i can restart alsa? | 03:52 |
| brewster | last time i checked that wasn't the case | 03:52 |
| Tech-1 | /etc/init.d start alsa ? | 03:52 |
| Tech-1 | brewster, k3b is awesome | 03:53 |
| brewster | tried it | 03:53 |
| brewster | it said i didn't have all the video files | 03:54 |
| brewster | and i was writing movie files to a dvd | 03:54 |
| brewster | then it closed | 03:54 |
| Tech-1 | ya, it can be buggy the first time around, but it catches on | 03:54 |
| CaptAnon | Help: I downloaded the source of that game airstrike and now I want to learn how to compile(install?) it | 03:54 |
| CaptAnon | Can anyone help me with this? | 03:55 |
| brewster | CaptAnon: usually ./configure; make; sudo make install | 03:55 |
| brewster | given you have all the requirements | 03:55 |
| CaptAnon | brewster, brb testing | 03:56 |
| brewster | wait | 03:56 |
| brewster | or you can just download it from the software center | 03:56 |
| Loshki | brewster: I've always found brasero to be particularly bug-ridden. How about burning from the command line? | 03:56 |
| brewster | that always works for me | 03:56 |
| brewster | uhh not my favorite thing to do | 03:57 |
| Tech-1 | brewster, do you have libdvdread4 and libdvdcss2 installed ? | 03:57 |
| CaptAnon | brewster, I can do that but I'm learning how to compile and better myself | 03:57 |
| boxbeatsy | milamber: hi, after getting to step 4 of the tutorial you sent me, i'm getting an error saying that the Packages.gz file does not exist. it seems like apt-move update isn't actually creating the Packages file. do you know what my problem might be? | 03:57 |
| brewster | CaptAnon: you should google c tutorial if you want to learn that sort of thing | 03:58 |
| hilarie | sooo, lets say you don't have access to the server and you get this while sshing :'( Agent admitted failure to sign using the key. | 03:58 |
| CaptAnon | ok but how do you know it is c? | 03:58 |
| brewster | you learn the most from figuring it out ;] | 03:58 |
| brewster | or c++ | 03:58 |
| brewster | if you have to compile it then it's typically java c or c++ | 03:59 |
| brewster | or C# | 03:59 |
| brewster | Tech-1: must they be the -dev's | 03:59 |
| almostroot | So I've yet to resolve my issue, but inside of /var/lib/apt/lists, the files reflect the current versions. For some reason, apt is refusing to compare the installed packages with the new ones. Is there some hidden option that would prevent updates from being processed? | 03:59 |
| Tech-1 | its in medibuntu repos | 03:59 |
| Tech-1 | or | 03:59 |
| edgy | Hi, how can I create a qcow2 image from virt-manager to install on it? I couldn't find the option in the wizard! | 03:59 |
| Tech-1 | ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:00 |
| CaptAnon | brewster, ok the install file in the source( i think its the source) says I need a c compiler, does this mean c or could it be one of those variants of c you mentioned? | 04:00 |
| brewster | CaptAnon: ubuntu usually comes with a c compiler | 04:01 |
| CaptAnon | yes I have gcc | 04:01 |
| brewster | just use those above commands | 04:01 |
| Tech-1 | brewster, | 04:01 |
| Tech-1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 04:01 |
| Tech-1 | its all there | 04:01 |
| brewster | oh you were talking to me then | 04:01 |
| CaptAnon | bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 04:02 |
| brewster | are there any .sh files? | 04:02 |
| brewster | they'll typically say something like automake or autoconf or something similar if i'm remembering correctly | 04:03 |
| CaptAnon | in the utils folder there is | 04:03 |
| html | how do i fix the login mangers ? | 04:03 |
| CaptAnon | I'm going to be too much work, I will just find a tutorial | 04:03 |
| html | hi | 04:03 |
| brewster | CaptAnon: hold on | 04:04 |
| CaptAnon | ok | 04:04 |
| CaptAnon | How much practise with programming will it take for me to be able to produce something useful? | 04:05 |

| Guest43213 | ^ | 04:05 |
| Guest43213 | ? | 04:05 |
| Guest43213 | thanks | 04:05 |
| brewster | CaptAnon: i find that taking a class is a good place to get comfortable with programming | 04:05 |
| brewster | although some people learn better by teaching themselves | 04:06 |
| threonine | how do I get wine to notice my DVD/CD drive? | 04:06 |
| brewster | if i were to teach someone how to program i would teach them python or java | 04:06 |
| Tech-1 | Guest43213, if its in the official repos you x=can, if not, i wouldnt | 04:06 |
| CaptAnon | brewster, Hahaha I'm trapped on a farm in australia | 04:06 |
| brewster | but i wouldn't start with c | 04:07 |
| brewster | but you do have internet ;] | 04:07 |
| brewster | python.org | 04:07 |
| CaptAnon | well I would like to play with that game, just mess with the code | 04:07 |
| brewster | ^go there | 04:07 |
| dr_willis | python gets my vote. | 04:07 |
| brewster | hellz yeah | 04:07 |
| CaptAnon | I would like to change the physics of the aircraft | 04:07 |
| brewster | python ftw | 04:07 |
| CaptAnon | Yeah I heard python is good | 04:07 |
| dr_willis | but i know more perl and rexx then i do python | 04:08 |
| html | Guest43213, please for the sake of all, and and the comfort of knowing who ,or which "guest "we are talking to ...so please change your name and in the end it is more productive this way | 04:08 |
| Dr_Azil | My download for Ubuntu has just sped up :) | 04:08 |
| html | hi doc | 04:08 |
| html | hi all | 04:08 |
| Dr_Azil | Y'ello | 04:08 |
| CaptAnon | His name was Jacob_ but he changed it | 04:08 |
| Dr_Azil | My name? | 04:09 |
| html | wait we have 2 doctors in here? | 04:09 |
| Dr_Azil | Someone was already using my normal name, Lizard, so I just used Lizard backwards | 04:09 |
| kla | either C or lua. python schmython </ot> | 04:09 |
| Tech-1 | lol | 04:09 |
| Tech-1 | backwards | 04:09 |
| Tech-1 | nice | 04:09 |
| brewster | CaptAnon: for now install from the software center. Go learn some python if you're interested in programming. Then build your way up to the c's with java then c++ then c | 04:09 |
| Dr_Azil | One of the rare moments I show some wit | 04:10 |
| Tech-1 | cool, well done | 04:10 |
| hot2trot | I virtualize ubuntu 11.10 through vmware fusion, and when I un-suspend an instance of ubuntu, and if I had a sshfs mounted, and I try to ls that directory, it just infinitely hangs... any ideas? | 04:10 |
| Tech-1 | brb | 04:10 |
| Dr_Azil | Danke | 04:11 |
| CaptAnon | brewster, That will take years | 04:11 |
| brewster | nah | 04:11 |
| brewster | it took me a month to learn python | 04:11 |
| CaptAnon | my attention span will only give me a few hours | 04:11 |
| CaptAnon | from scratch? | 04:11 |
| brewster | yep | 04:11 |
| html | does any one know about logon mangers? cuz im stepped in it really deep this time.. | 04:11 |
| brewster | maybe 2 to learn c++ | 04:11 |
| almostroot | I recommend against python, as per my professor. I agree with him that it makes you lazy and teaches you bad habits. | 04:11 |
| brewster | the same for c | 04:11 |
| CaptAnon | ok and how many hours a day, and what could you do at the end of that month? | 04:12 |
| reisio | almostroot: what does he recommend? | 04:12 |
| * brewster glares at almostroot | 04:12 | |
| almostroot | reisio: He jumped straight into C, then Fortran. All in a semester. | 04:12 |
| reisio | ah, can't argue with that | 04:12 |
| kla | !ot | 04:12 |
| 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! | 04:12 |
| reisio | C is where they're all derived, no better place to start; though you _can_ start from anywhere and come back | 04:13 |
| reisio | almostroot: what school is this, if you don't mind saying? | 04:13 |
| brewster | CaptAnon: maybe a couple of hours a day no more than 2. by the end of the month you should know all the basics including networking and maybe threading | 04:13 |
| almostroot | reisio: He no longer teaches here, but a two-year technical school with a specialized programming degree. | 04:13 |
| CaptAnon | How did I start a debate about programming languages all I wanted was to compile some source??? | 04:13 |
| Dr_Azil | :P | 04:14 |
| CaptAnon | cool | 04:14 |
| tensorpudding | fortran is a useless language to teach people as their first experience | 04:14 |
| tensorpudding | especially if it's the old, outdated fortran | 04:14 |
| Skummel | Is fortran still used? | 04:14 |
| tensorpudding | yes | 04:14 |
| brewster | tensorpudding: thank you | 04:14 |
| tensorpudding | it's significantly popular in high-performance computing | 04:14 |
| brewster | fortan and c are for more experienced programmers | 04:14 |
| brewster | for they are very old | 04:15 |
| tensorpudding | but mainly because it's tailored for speed and easy parallelism and has decades-old libraries for everything | 04:15 |
| kla | fortran never seemed more than programming language snobbery to me | 04:15 |
| brewster | they say you can never fully know fortran | 04:15 |
| almostroot | It is a great programming langue for implementing complex algorithms. I use Fortran 2003 right now. Supercomuting is almost all C and Fortran for the serious science. | 04:15 |
| brewster | because of how big it is | 04:15 |
| html | CaptAnon, we your lucky, cuz most of the time people with thoughs kind of skills dont come around much | 04:15 |
| tensorpudding | it's too specialized | 04:16 |
| almostroot | tensorpudding: The course is focused in high-performance computing. In that world, C and Fortran reign. | 04:16 |
| * dr_willis misses 'Can Do' on his amiga | 04:16 | |
| brewster | CaptAnon: if you can program in your area you can make the benjamins later in life | 04:16 |
| html | CaptAnon, so learn all you can , next ubuntu release they'll be back.... | 04:16 |
| l0n | For really high performance stuff, assembler is the way to go :) | 04:16 |
| dr_willis | comal! ;) | 04:17 |
| almostroot | l0n: Speed vs time is not comparable. Also, by using a higher-level language, you can port it to other machines, where assembler requires a complete rewrite. | 04:17 |
| CaptAnon | Programming will never be more then a hobby for me, flying is my thing | 04:17 |
| tensorpudding | there's plenty of books which cover python from a total beginner's perspective | 04:17 |
| brewster | oh | 04:17 |
| CaptAnon | but I wanted to change the physics in the game to be more realistic, and make it more fun for multiplayer | 04:18 |
| === oobie is now known as oobiloz | ||
| === Bry8Star2g is now known as Bry8Star{GB | ||
| brewster | well if it's just a hobby use languages like python or java | 04:18 |
| html | almostroot, that is a good point, and for a nob like me rewrites are bad | 04:18 |
| brewster | i hear ruby is fun too ;] | 04:18 |
| tensorpudding | changing the game physics can be terribly involved | 04:19 |
| oobiloz | help, ubuntu won't show pics from my fuji finepix when i plug it in | 04:19 |
| oobiloz | it shows when i do lsusb though | 04:19 |
| reisio | oobiloz: libgphoto2? | 04:19 |
| almostroot | html: Even worse in the HPC world, where most machines have a 5 year maximum life span. There are physics simulation programs that have been around for decades, and could never be ported. | 04:19 |
| kantlivelong | anyone here able to use ubuntu 12.04 as an ubuntu guest w/ vboxsf module? | 04:20 |
| oobiloz | it's there... | 04:20 |
| brewster | 12.04 is out 0.0 | 04:20 |
| html | almostroot, hpc world? means? | 04:20 |
| almostroot | html: High-performance computers. Supercomputers. | 04:21 |
| Tech-1 | run linux | 04:21 |
| brewster | CaptAnon: if you learn the programming basics, changing the game physics would be as easy as changing a couple of numbers | 04:21 |
| CaptAnon | I played I little bit with ruby, the language seems fun to write | 04:21 |
| CaptAnon | chomp gets puts | 04:21 |
| brewster | chomp? | 04:22 |
| CaptAnon | chomp.gets I think | 04:22 |
| CaptAnon | can't remember its like input but a quote, or a string or somthing | 04:22 |
| brewster | oh is that perl? | 04:22 |
| CaptAnon | ruby | 04:22 |
| jjjrmy | fortune | cowsay | 04:22 |
| brewster | oh | 04:22 |
| brewster | um | 04:23 |
| almostroot | So I installed using pxebooting with kickstart to direct the install to grab packages via a web server and pre seeding to answer the questions. Could that be part of the reason why my system refuses to see new packages? | 04:23 |

| kla | tucemiux_mob: you sound pretty sure it is indeed a virus | 04:38 |
| captanon | is that ssh as good as it sounds? | 04:38 |
| tucemiux_mob | kla, it sure acts like a virus | 04:39 |
| html | tucemiux_mob, try this, but this to scan it whith out the pc on ,"live mode" | 04:39 |

| sausagesquatch | i used wubi to download and install ubuntu and it will not boot it does not appear in the os choices menu and i have no cd's or flash drives | 04:39 |
| tucemiux_mob | html, my real question is, how do I boot up ubuntu without it forcibly wanting to have an IP? | 04:39 |
| sausagesquatch | and no money please help | 04:39 |

| reisio | sausagesquatch: you could try running the installer again | 04:40 |
| captanon | how did you use wubi without a cd or flash? | 04:40 |
| sausagesquatch | did it 3 times | 04:40 |
| reisio | captanon: virtual mount | 04:40 |
| sausagesquatch | still no boot | 04:40 |
| captanon | ok | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | sausagesquatch: id just use virtualbox. i dont like wubi | 04:40 |
| html | tucemiux_mob, dont connect to the net? | 04:40 |
| captanon | did you put it onto a partition? | 04:40 |
| reisio | sausagesquatch: there's not much we can do if you don't have any media and the installer isn't working from a virtual mount | 04:40 |
| sausagesquatch | is the boot and grub folders supposed to be empty | 04:40 |
| OerHeks | sausagesquatch, maybe your antivirus protection is too tight | 04:40 |
| reisio | sausagesquatch: ideally you'd install from a live CD/DVD/USB after resizing your Windows partition | 04:41 |
| kla | tucemiux_mob: update-rc.d networking disable ? | 04:41 |
| sausagesquatch | well i cannot do that reisio | 04:41 |
| kla | tucemiux_mob: then you can ifup/ifdown interfaces at will | 04:41 |
| html | sausagesquatch, did you burn the os to a cd? and what are you spec of your computer? | 04:42 |
| captanon | Hold on with putty I can control a windows pc from my linux computer??? | 04:42 |
| kla | captanon: if the windows PC is running an SSH server | 04:42 |
| tucemiux_mob | html, im not connected to the net but ubuntu keeps forcibly waiting to get an IP upon startup | 04:42 |
| milamber | captanon: other way around | 04:42 |
| sausagesquatch | no cd's i used wubi | 04:42 |
| kla | captanon: "control" is an overstatement though | 04:42 |
| kla | or a dramatization | 04:42 |
| html | tucemiux_mob, which one ? outbound or in bound? | 04:43 |
| tucemiux_mob | kla, so ubuntu will forcibly ask for an IP even though you have no internet connection? That's a BUG or a virus | 04:43 |
| milamber | captanon: windows does not come with ssh installed. putty is an ssh client for windows | 04:43 |

| Brewster | indeed | 04:44 |
| tucemiux_mob | **report** | 04:44 |
| Brewster | or sudo modprobe -r eth0 | 04:44 |
| tucemiux_mob | Brewster, yes but I shouldn't have to do that, it should just boot up and work! | 04:44 |
| sausagesquatch | hello mr potato head | 04:44 |
| html | sausagesquatch, and what os are you loading ? | 04:44 |
| sausagesquatch | ubuntu | 04:45 |
| kla | Brewster: how come?? | 04:45 |
| kla | eth0 | 04:45 |
| captanon | Do you have a partition sausagesquatch ? | 04:45 |
| html | sausagesquatch, what version? | 04:45 |
| Brewster | kla: how come wat? | 04:45 |
| kla | Brewster: modprobe -r eth0 | 04:45 |
| sausagesquatch | no partition | 04:45 |
| dr_willis | cant say ive noticed any ussues with my unnetworked ubuntu machines | 04:45 |
| Brewster | removes internet module | 04:46 |
| sausagesquatch | the one off the ubuntu site | 04:46 |
| Brewster | you could put a startup command as gksu modprobe -r eth0 | 04:46 |
| captanon | I can't remember but I think when I did it from the wubi I put it into a partition | 04:46 |
| Brewster | that way it'll happen automatically | 04:46 |
| kla | Brewster: I never thought such usage case was possible. Can anyone else please confirm this?? | 04:46 |
| Brewster | i wouldn't recommend it | 04:47 |
| sausagesquatch | ubuntu 11.10 | 04:47 |
| Brewster | why would you want to remove your internet | 04:47 |
| Tech-1 | why not rid of the virus | 04:47 |
| Brewster | what if you can't put it back? | 04:47 |
| Brewster | no such thing as ubuntu virus | 04:47 |
| Tech-1 | didnt he say he had a virus?, thought he had windoze | 04:48 |
| kla | paranoia (sp?) is quite the motivator | 04:48 |
| captanon | ok if I us ssh on an other ubuntu computer, can I log in as root and use my sudo powers | 04:48 |
| captanon | Is that the point of ssh? | 04:48 |
| captanon | I will google ssh | 04:48 |
| kla | captanon: indeed. you will have the same capabilities and powers as you would otherwise have | 04:49 |
| sausagesquatch | come on i need some ideas | 04:49 |
| html | sausagesquatch, i take it your new at this, so i will save you the pain (click the 32bit verison) http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ | 04:49 |
| milamber | captanon: ssh is just a way to access your machine. you can log in with your regular credentials, you don't have to use sudo to remote in | 04:50 |

| sausagesquatch | very new to ubuntu | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | sausagesquatch: id just use virtualbox. i dont like wubi | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | sausagesquatch: that would let you have both os going at the same time | 04:52 |
| captanon | Wow that is cool that is what I've allways wanted | 04:52 |
| kla | captanon: Be careful though.. with great power comes great... ah just a lot of power :) | 04:53 |
| captanon | does anyone have a spare computer I can ssh into? | 04:53 |
| sausagesquatch | i cant buy a cd | 04:53 |
| milamber | captanon: once you install the server (usually: sudo apt-get install openssh-server) you can ssh into your own box | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | captanon: ssh localhost :-) | 04:54 |
| captanon | hahha | 04:54 |
| captanon | ok I will try that | 04:54 |
| html | sausagesquatch, this one will be of the few that are better for you computer, also puppylinux, and lubuntu ( for slower and older pcs) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 04:55 |
| hilarie_ | Okay, so my seedboxes default ubuntu image, has only 1 user, and that user is root... how do I get back to what I normally do with ubuntu? like have my own username, and a password, and use sudo, isn't being logged in as root, a bad idea? | 04:55 |
| === root is now known as Guest71752 | ||
| captanon | OMG I just hacked into my own computer | 04:58 |
| html | sausagesquatch, the dr_willis is one of the best mind in here, and is a respected member . we are here to help | 04:58 |
| hilarie_ | Anyone, point me in the right direction? there are alot of programs that say they wont run as root :( | 04:59 |
| captanon | sausagesquatch, Have you tried putting the wubi into a different partition from the windows one? | 04:59 |
| Monsanto | captanon: How so | 05:00 |
| Monsanto | <captanon> OMG I just hacked into my own computer | 05:00 |
| captanon | hahha ssh | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | i dident thik wubi worked on a different partition. | 05:00 |
| captanon | Maybe its been a long time since I used it. | 05:00 |
| milamber | !details | hilarie_ | 05:01 |
| ubottu | hilarie_: 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 ..." | 05:01 |
| dr_willis | i cant stand wubi. ;) id vote for its removal from the install cd.. | 05:01 |
| captanon | I can't remember quite how I did it when I did it | 05:01 |
| Tech-1 | brb | 05:01 |
| almostroot | So when I installed via net boot, the system used the server it grabbed the copied ubuntu CD image off of as the default repo. Is that why the machine refuses to see updates? | 05:01 |
| * milamber would second that removal | 05:01 | |
| oobiloz | anyone have any ideas so i can see photos from my camera? | 05:01 |
| oobiloz | it says camera detected when i plug it in but cannot open divvrectory | 05:01 |
| oobiloz | *directory | 05:01 |
| kla | almostroot: yep, configure update sources | 05:02 |
| oobiloz | it's all greyed out in gthumb and f-spot when i try to import | 05:02 |
| hilarie_ | I am running a custom ubuntu 11.10 server edition image, provided by my seedbox host, the only way for me to log in is ssh root@myip and then I am logged in as root, isn't there a way to add a username, give it sudo priviliges, and disable root? | 05:02 |
| almostroot | In other words, anyone experienced with pre seeding and pxebooting to install? | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | oobiloz: perhaps its not in usb storge mode. or you need to mount it by hand | 05:02 |
| html | dr_willis, can i pm you? | 05:02 |

| dr_willis | html: you can. but im at work so may have to leave at any time to do real work.. ;) | 05:03 |
| oobiloz | it says here on grey screen it's on usb mode? | 05:03 |
| oobiloz | well not usb mode but | 05:03 |

| almostroot | milamber: ... I don't think you read my issue. | 05:03 |
| oobiloz | there is a usb icon and it says usb..... | 05:03 |
| captanon | how do I keep a program running that I opened in terminal If I want to close the terminal? | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | oobiloz: learning how mount works is rather fundamental ;) | 05:03 |
| oobiloz | dr willis... sorry i did try googling it earlier | 05:03 |
| oobiloz | and i've done it before | 05:03 |
| oobiloz | a couple of times | 05:03 |
| almostroot | kla: I copied over a known good sources.list to no avail. It's receiving the new lists, but not comparing the local installed to the remote updated. | 05:04 |
| oobiloz | i have memory issues | 05:04 |

| dr_willis | sausagesquatch: personally, id forget wubi and use virtualbox. it wont be as fast. but it will work. will work great with lubuntu. | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | sausagesquatch: i dont use wubi any more. its just too problematic | 05:12 |
| sausagesquatch | how do i get virtualbox for free | 05:13 |
| almostroot | So frisk is different than what I'm used to. How can I specify the partition type when creating it? | 05:13 |

| dr_willis | sausagesquatch: download, install virtualbox. start it.. tell it to boot iso.. follow the wizaed.. it has a manual at its homepage. vbox manual that is.. | 05:18 |
| tomato_c | sausagesquatch:well, i think you should re-download a iso img file | 05:18 |
| oobiloz | hellow? | 05:18 |
| oobiloz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/756760/ | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | the wubi installer had the iso file downloaded somewhere. he could use than. but i normally use lubuntu in vbox | 05:19 |
| html | sausagesquatch, what os are you running ? windows 7 ? vista? what? | 05:19 |
| sausagesquatch | yup i used wubi so that means i have the wrong file format? | 05:19 |
| sausagesquatch | html win xp professional | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | wubi downloaded the iso... somewhere | 05:19 |
| CaptAnon | ok on the computer im sshing into do they have to have a user with the same user name that I have? | 05:20 |
| CaptAnon | and password? | 05:20 |
| milamber | CaptAnon: no, but you would have to specify the correct user and pass when you run the ssh command | 05:20 |
| milamber | CaptAnon: for the manual: man ssh | 05:21 |
| CaptAnon | man ssh | 05:21 |
| CaptAnon | oh | 05:21 |

| Doctorly | I need to load a custom Unity theme, and no, unity is benchmarked much faster recently if used properly actually. It was fine in 11.04 but canon actually remvoed the features for custom loading for less confusion.

| adammw111 | Hi, my sister wants to use the computer, how do I get a guest session in Ubuntu 11.10? | 07:10 |
| Yahosain | Hi is there any variable that gives me a device label?for example I have a cd named "pictures" in sr0. | 07:11 |
| Tm_T | adammw111: hmmm, isn't it as an option on the login screen? | 07:11 |
| vox | i'll ask it as question then. How do i stop ubuntu insisting that i cant boot with a degraded raidset, even tho the system lives on a seperate single disk, and the raidset is only used for file storage. ubuntu constantly dropping to busybox is not a solution. any ideas? | 07:11 |
| reisio | Tm_T: is it off topic to want to know what problem a user is having? | 07:11 |
| andyn | adammw111, Tm_T: there should be an option in the top right corner menu, too, if i am not mistaken | 07:11 |
| Tm_T | reisio: no, but the way he was putting it was offtopic (: | 07:11 |
| reisio | Yahosain: variable? for what? | 07:11 |
| reisio | Tm_T: mmm | 07:12 |
| adammw111 | Tm_T: nope, where would it be? I only see my name and other... Only battery level in top right i think | 07:12 |
| Yahosain | something which would tell me the label of sr0 for example | 07:12 |
| adammw111 | I was expecting it to be in the user menu like it was in 10.10 but its not there either | 07:12 |
| reisio | vox: couldn't you mount it after boot? | 07:12 |
| reisio | Yahosain: oh, it shows as PICTURES in another OS? | 07:13 |
| Yahosain | yes | 07:13 |
| reisio | Yahosain: if you look at it in a file manager (Nautilus, for example), it'd probably show | 07:13 |
| Yahosain | no I want it for a bash script | 07:13 |
| Yahosain | haha | 07:13 |
| Yahosain | something like a terminal command | 07:14 |
| vox | reisio: it will not boot. at all. since 11.10, if it cant start a raidset during boot time, it gives you an option to either a: not start the raidset and drop to busybox(not useful) or start the raidset and boot normally.. and then when the raidset wont start, because it's degraded, it drops to busybox anyway. so you cannot boot. at all. | 07:14 |

| kla | Yahosain: isoinfo -i /dev/sr0 -d | awk '/Volume\ id/{ print $3; }' | 07:26 |

| zosky | hi yall. what is the best (easiest!) way to scrape a <div> tag by name in my BASH script ? | 07:28 |
| Yahosain | isoinfo -i /dev/sr0 -d | awk '/Volume\ id/{ print $3; }' did it thankyou verymuch but the problem is that it will only give me the label for a cd or dvd not a hdd partition | 07:28 |
| nowimproved1 | if you ask me they should have expanded on gnome2 and made it cleaner more simple.. win 7 style people dont want that weird shit although gnome3 is better than unity bs | 07:28 |
| reisio | zosky: you want the info inside the tag? | 07:28 |
| reisio | Yahosain: oh | 07:29 |
| reisio | Yahosain: mmmm, blkid does that, but I don't recall if you need root | 07:29 |
| zosky | yes, raw (with all the contained <tables> and all) | 07:29 |
| kla | Yahosain: I'm not quite sure I understand your requirements but.. have you tried looking under /dev/disk/by-id/uuid/label ? | 07:29 |
| nowimproved1 | ubuntu should ship with e17 def | 07:30 |
| reisio | zosky: there are a couple things in CPAN for doing it properly, otherwise you can use any number of nasty regex | 07:30 |
| reisio | nowimproved1: ha, imagine purple/orange/brown e17 | 07:30 |
| nowimproved1 | it could be good though reisio better than unity .. better than xfce and kde | 07:31 |
| Yahosain | I think I can do it by using both blkid and isoinfo | 07:31 |
| omido | can i install ubuntu and install its grub on its root partition and chainload its grub2 to my other Distro's bootloader?(which is grub legacy) | 07:31 |
| nowimproved1 | they should find something and stick with it.. or make their own desktop environment | 07:32 |
| nowimproved1 | things need to be more standard | 07:33 |
| reisio | good luck finding a commercial organization that'll agree with you on that | 07:33 |
| html | do what? | 07:33 |
| reisio | omido: chainload grub2 _from_ grub1? | 07:33 |
| ikonia | nowimproved1: what are you talking about at all ? | 07:33 |
| nowimproved1 | ikonia, i dont even know | 07:33 |
| ikonia | nowimproved1: ok, best to stop then | 07:34 |
| nowimproved1 | k | 07:34 |
| ikonia | thanks | 07:34 |
| nowimproved1 | np | 07:34 |
| omido | reisio: yeah .cause for me grub2 has been an unstable piece of crap.(maybe just for me ) | 07:34 |
| ikonia | omido: how is grub2 unstable ? | 07:34 |
| Yahosain | blkid and isoinfo is the way thank you kla and reisio | 07:34 |
| omido | ikonia: i had pclinuxos 2011 with pae kernel installed and then installed ubuntu 11.10 and choosed to install grub2 on MBR(where pclinuxos's grub was installed). ubuntu showed me pclinuxos in the bootloader selection but faild to boot it . | 07:35 |
| nowimproved1 | install gentoo | 07:36 |
| ikonia | omido: define "failed to boot it" | 07:36 |
| ikonia | nowimproved1: again - what are you talking about ? | 07:36 |
| nowimproved1 | holy instant. fast typer bubs | 07:36 |
| ikonia | nowimproved1: please stop talking nonsnese. | 07:36 |
| ikonia | nowimproved1: the channel is for ubuntu support discussion, can you keep to that topic please. | 07:36 |
| omido | ikonia: i wonder when exactly you wanna stop being just a fan boy and become a real helper. cause you have always been like that | 07:36 |
| ikonia | omido: I'm asking you to define your problem so I can help you | 07:37 |
| omido | it faild to boot it showing errors which i dont exactly remember . now my issue is that i want to chainload ubuntu to another distro. isnt that clear enough ? | 07:37 |
| kla | or in canadian English: what are you taking a-boot? | 07:37 |
| ikonia | omido: I didn't see the question about you wanting to chainload, I just saw you stating grub2 is unstable, which is wrong and was trying to help | 07:37 |
| ikonia | omido: where is the grub1 bootsector installed on your system ? | 07:38 |
| omido | ikonia: on MBR | 07:38 |
| ikonia | omido: ok, where is grub2 boot sector installed ? | 07:39 |
| omido | ikonia: its not installed yet . i want to make sure if i can chainload it and then do the actual installition . i want to intall ubuntu's bootloader in its root partition | 07:39 |
| ikonia | omido: sure, you can chain load any other boot loader you want. | 07:40 |
| omido | i can easily chainload the distros which use grub legacy .i can also edit grub1's files and add other grub1 os. but i'm total noob when it comes to grub2 (seems like its a little diffrent) | 07:40 |
| ikonia | omido: just keep in mind, that if you install grub2 to the MBR, grub1 will be gone, so you'll need to install grub1 to somewhere else AND update the place it looks for the config files | 07:40 |
| ikonia | omido: why don't you just use grub1 instead of grub2 then ? | 07:41 |
| omido | ikonia: thats exactly what i want to do . for me grub1 is better but i want to have ubuntu too . | 07:41 |
| ikonia | omido: ok - so you don't want to chainload at all then, you just want to install grub1 | 07:41 |
| html | how do i fix the login mangers ? | 07:42 |
| omido | ikonia: i have Grub1 installed(i installed PClinuxOS 2011 which uses grub 1 as default bootloader) | 07:43 |
| ikonia | omido: ok, so all you need to do is configure grub1 to point at the ubuntu boot files | 07:43 |
| ikonia | omido: don't need to install grub2 at all, and don't need to chain load | 07:43 |
| omido | ikonia: i suck at command line or editing configuration files . | 07:44 |
| omido | thats why i came here to ask for help | 07:44 |
| ikonia | omido: if you need help, you'll get better help if you ask the right/proper question, eg: how do I edit grub1 to boot ubuntu, rather than "I want to chainload grub1 from grub2 and grub2 is unstable" | 07:45 |

| faLUCE | Hi. I installed lubuntu 11.10 on a Intel BOXDG41AN mini-itx mobo (with Pentium dual core E5700). Then I installed few programs and created my own live distro, lubuntu 11.10 based, with Remastersys. Then I booted on another pc (Intel DH67CF LGA-1155 mini itx mobo, with cpu i5 2400) with this distro but the graphic card does not work. I can make it work only at low resolution with nomodeset. The rest is ok How can I solve? Where can be the problem? | 07:47 |
| ikonia | adam__: just ask the question about the problem you are having | 07:47 |
| ikonia | faLUCE: we don't support your custom spins | 07:48 |
| faLUCE | ikonia: what a stupid answer | 07:48 |
| ikonia | ghufran: that tool should still be there, let me see if I can find the application name to call it, | 07:48 |
| ikonia | faLUCE: no, it's the factual answer, you are making your own ubuntu spin, we only support the official builds in this channel | 07:48 |
| faLUCE | ikonia: in addition, talk for yourself | 07:48 |

| adam__ | mind* | 07:53 |
| ikonia | omido: it has it, it's called software center, synaptic, aptitude, there are many package managers | 07:53 |

| ikonia | Newb: if you are comfortable setting the root password and working as root, good for you, and you should know how to do that, in which case, you are fine. Most people don't so the security decision is taken to protect them | 08:23 |
| DanAKAHollywood | Then when you are in a root shell type passwd and set a password. That's it | 08:23 |

| windparadise | ok, let me look at it | 08:28 |
| Newb | wth | 08:28 |
| ikonia | Newb: read the links, not just the factoid | 08:28 |
| Newb | what links? | 08:28 |
| ikonia | cherva: you need to mount both devices and look at which one has the data you want, then issue a sync command with that one as the primary | 08:28 |
| Newb | all I saw was bad reference scrolls | 08:28 |
| ikonia | cherva: bringing the other one into sync | 08:29 |
| ikonia | Newb: I'll send them to a pm for you | 08:29 |

| cherva | ikonia, can I mount them now or I have to stop the array first | 08:29 |
| Newb | I give up | 08:29 |
| ikonia | cherva: you need them running to mount them | 08:29 |
| Newb | I wont get a solid answer | 08:29 |

| KNUBBIG | Hi, I set my Tomcat7 to use Java 7 and now the manager app is in some language (maybe chinese or persian, dunno) and the admin app is in spanish. Any idea why that happens? | 08:31 |
| ubuntu|hasroot | no, i use a HID webcam | 08:31 |
| ubuntu|hasroot | works on everything. | 08:31 |
| cherva | ikonia, let me think for a sec the only thing missing is 1 mail that is beeing resend ... so if I sync one drive to the other no mather which one I'll be ok ? | 08:31 |
| ikonia | cherva: I don't see that as an issue at all | 08:31 |
| ikonia | cherva: infact I think that will bring you to a better place to move forward | 08:31 |
| Newb | none of those links inlcude the info that I was asking about | 08:31 |
| ikonia | Newb: apologies, what is the info you are looking for ? | 08:32 |
| Newb | ok, I guess I wont get it answered... I will try another distro | 08:32 |
| Newb | nevermind | 08:32 |
| kazuo | his| any idea why my Logitech C60 webcam suddenly stopped working on 3.2.0.2 but works great on anything before | 08:32 |
| ubuntu|hasroot | its still a better policy to explain to your community the risks and rewards of using administrative access (root), than to just say "DONT USE ROOT" and reply with "JUST DONT OK??" when they ask why. :P | 08:32 |
| ubuntu|hasroot | sudo su - < use it! | 08:33 |
| auronandace | kazuo: checked kernel newbies to see the difference between them? | 08:33 |
| kazuo | couldnt see anyting aimed at cams... 3.2.0.1 was fine | 08:33 |
| sattu94 | Hi! | 08:33 |
| cherva | ikonia, I'll look for that mail ..... | 08:34 |
| cherva | ikonia, hmm can't mount /dev/sdb1 i get | 08:35 |
| buck76 | paradox1: http://pastebin.com/3E9uk2tj | 08:35 |
| cherva | ikonia, hmm can't mount /dev/sdb1 i get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member'" | 08:35 |
| buck76 | paradox1: how's that look? | 08:36 |
| paradox1 | ill see | 08:36 |

| buck76 | that's not my real MAC tho, but the idea is the same. | 08:36 |
| ccolorado | Hi can anyone tell me what is the purpose of /etc/mysql/debian-start and how can i disable it ? I get a log of log entries saying <DATE> <HOSTNAME> /etc/mysql/debian-start[XXXX]: FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed | 08:36 |
| shovell | html, did i lose you? | 08:37 |
| cherva | ikonia, so i do "rsync -aH /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1" and I'm good to go having the now active drive synced to sdb1 ? | 08:38 |
| ikonia | cherva: whoaaa now | 08:38 |
| ikonia | no | 08:38 |
| buck76 | paradox1: actually, i'll rewrite it. i'll get back in five. | 08:38 |
| ikonia | I meant start the single array with both drives included so it does a sync within mdadm | 08:38 |
| paradox1 | ok | 08:38 |
| shovell | ok i think i lost html | 08:39 |
| sattu94 | shovell: lol. | 08:39 |
| shovell | yep | 08:39 |
| cherva | ikonia, not exactly sure how to do that .... | 08:40 |
| === ericm-afk is now known as ericm|ubuntu | ||
| shovell | so i post my question again | 08:40 |
| ikonia | cherva: ok, stop the array md0 and md_d0 | 08:40 |
| ikonia | cherva: create an array using sda1 (as you know it has good data on it - correct me if I'm wrong) | 08:40 |
| ikonia | cherva: create the array with /dev/sda1 and "missing" | 08:41 |
| ikonia | cherva: then add /dev/sdb1 to the array once it's running, and it will sync the data from sda1 to sdb1 and you'll have a stable array | 08:41 |
| ikonia | then update the mdadm.conf and you will be fine | 08:41 |
| cherva | ikonia, got it :) I just have to find a way to check that i really have good data on sda1 | 08:42 |
| windparadise | auronandace: when installed virtualbox on ubuntu, have you been able to run windows programms on virtualbox successfully? or there were errors on some of the programs? | 08:42 |
| ikonia | cherva: cool, any issue just ask | 08:42 |
| audifahrer | hello | 08:42 |
| auronandace | windparadise: they run fine | 08:43 |
| windparadise | ok, the second concern is about sharing virtualbox folder with ubuntu, how did you took care of that ? | 08:43 |
| auronandace | windparadise: open the settings of the vm and check out shared folders, its rather straightforward | 08:44 |
| windparadise | i.e I want to share My DOcument folder on virtualbox to be access in ubuntu | 08:44 |
| windparadise | ah, ok, thanks | 08:44 |
| KNUBBIG | shouldn't localepurge remove locales that are listed via locales -a if I select the right locales to keep? | 08:45 |
| cherva | ikonia, mdadm --examine /dev/sda1 says "faulty removed" and sdb1 says "active sync /dev/sdb1" ....... | 08:45 |
| cherva | ikonia, maybe sdb1 is the rigth dribe | 08:46 |
| cherva | ikonia, maybe sdb1 is the rigth drive* | 08:47 |
| ikonia | maybe | 08:48 |
| cherva | ikonia, one last thing can I do this in init level 1 and then go to level 5 | 08:49 |
| ikonia | cherva: sorry, 2 minutes just doing 2 things | 08:51 |

| deej1976 | researcher: Update what? | 09:44 |
| slobro | deej1976: yeah.. except any IPs.. the lo interface shows inet addr and mask. | 09:45 |
| researcher | deej1976: updates of application installed | 09:45 |
| researcher | deej1976: can not install or download a software | 09:45 |
| hackbert130 | researcher: maybe u try running both at the same time? | 09:45 |

| deej1976 | is_null: *then | 09:48 |
| ikonia | slobro: does eth0 have an IP address? | 09:48 |
| slobro | nope | 09:48 |
| ikonia | slobro: ok, so that is the core issues | 09:48 |
| ikonia | slobro: simple test, can you reboot, see if your router gives it a new one ? | 09:49 |
| slobro | i tried it a few times, it does the same thing again, and i have to restart the eth0 interface | 09:49 |
| ikonia | slobro: when you restart the eth0 interface does it get an IP ? | 09:49 |
| hackbert130 | slobro: whats in your /etc/network/interfaces? | 09:50 |
| slobro | ikonia: now it has an inet6 addr. o.O | 09:50 |
| ikonia | slobro: are you using ipv6 ? | 09:50 |
| slobro | no | 09:50 |
| ikonia | slobro: ok, so lets step back to get some background | 09:50 |
| slobro | hackbert130: auto lo iface lo inet loopback | 09:51 |
| ikonia | slobro: your machine has how many network cards in it ? | 09:51 |
| slobro | sony vaio laptop with 1 lan and 1 wlan | 09:51 |
| ikonia | slobro: ok, so your network card is configured by gnome-network-manager I assume (the desktop applet for configuring the network card) | 09:52 |
| xuser1 | where can i get remastersys ? | 09:52 |
| slobro | yes | 09:52 |
| ikonia | slobro: ok, can you just confirm that eth0 is setup and enabled in the application as a dhcp network card ? | 09:53 |
| ikonia | slobro: (lets remove the basics to find the real problem) | 09:53 |

| BenHur | Shovell, hm... i don't think i can help you further then. | 10:17 |
| AlanBell | aum___: that is not a good idea, sorry | 10:17 |
| AlanBell | omlx: probably by installing the android SDK, but it is more of an android question in that direction | 10:17 |
| Shovell | i believe it is not the correct driver ibelieve have a realtek 8176 | 10:18 |

| omlx | AlanBell: is there any thing like hotspot for 3g connections? | 10:18 |
| oCean | aum___: we don't support enabling the root account | 10:18 |
| AlanBell | omlx: or, create a new wireless connection | 10:18 |
| AlanBell | aum___: don't run the application as root (even more so as a kiosk) | 10:19 |
| Shovell | AlanBell: i believe it is not the correct driver i believe have a realtek 8176 | 10:19 |
| aum___ | oCean, i am a software developer and in the technical specification i have to login as root | 10:20 |
| oCean | aum___: maybe so, but in this channel we cannot support that | 10:20 |

| AlanBell | aum___: I think you need to fix that if you want it to run on Ubuntu. There is no way it is a good idea to run a kiosk application as root | 10:24 |

| slobro | Ive been using openbox for a long while, logging into gnome now and then | 10:24 |
| ikonia | slobro: ok, well lets do a test, are you free now ? | 10:25 |
| slobro | yes | 10:25 |
| ikonia | slobro: ok, can you open a terminal and do "sudo dhclient eth0" | 10:25 |
| Shovell | AlanBell: i guess i dont quite understand | 10:26 |
| slobro | ikonia: it says: eth0 ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device | 10:26 |
| slobro | 2 times | 10:26 |
| ikonia | slobro: can you do "sudo ifconfig eth0" | 10:26 |
| slobro | I just restarted my computer | 10:26 |
| slobro | yeah sec | 10:27 |
| Fudge | slobro you did use sudo as well? | 10:27 |
| slobro | it doesnt give me any IP addresses, only mac address and some other info. | 10:27 |
| slobro | yes | 10:27 |
| AlanBell | Shovell: comment 13 looked quite promising | 10:28 |
| slobro | oh sorry, i didnt notice this: after sudo dhclient eth0, it said also: SIOCSIFADDR: no such device | 10:28 |
| Fudge | slobro if the output for eth0 shows other info but no ip sudo dhclient eth0 should work | 10:28 |
| ikonia | slobro: try again then "sudo dhclient eth0" | 10:28 |
| Fudge | ikonia would dhclient try to bring it up if it was down? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Fudge: who said it's down ? | 10:29 |
| slobro | ikonia: now it didnt say anything. waited for a while, and stopped. | 10:29 |
| Fudge | ikonia just a thought, i dont believe anyone said it was' | 10:29 |
| ikonia | slobro: now run sudo ifconfig | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Fudge: ahh, it is possible | 10:29 |
| slobro | ! | 10:29 |
| slobro | IP addresses showd up | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Fudge: sorry, I thought I'd missed part of the info | 10:30 |
| ikonia | slobro: ok, so the issue is the card is not getting an address | 10:30 |
| aum___ | AlanBell, Please understand i want only "root" to login automatically no other user (its in the specification) i know some way to auto login graphycally ie. through "mingetty" and then "startx" now tell me is this is the only way... | 10:30 |
| bhaskar | hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhi | 10:30 |
| slobro | and i can access the internet now | 10:30 |
| ikonia | slobro: the most probably reason for this is because you no longer have network-manager on your desktop configuring the card | 10:30 |
| slobro | okay | 10:30 |
| AlanBell | aum___: sorry, the specification is wrong, if you want to use Ubuntu as the platform | 10:31 |
| Myrtti | aum___: that is so against every security principle the Ubuntu developers have decided to go with that it it boggles mind and draws all light from the universe | 10:31 |
| Fudge | ikonia np mate | 10:32 |
| deej1976 | aum___: Who wrote this specification, what software are you trying to use? | 10:32 |
| Fudge | slobro perhaps check, dpkg -l | grep network-manager | 10:33 |
| slobro | Fudge: weird, "grep: command not found o.O | 10:34 |
| Fudge | aum___ you're wanting a desktop manager to allow root to login? | 10:34 |
| slobro | and it Is installed | 10:35 |
| ikonia | slobro: echo $PATH | 10:35 |
| Fudge | perhaps youre on a UK keyboard layout, did you use the pipe | not " | 10:35 |
| Shovell | AlanBell i tried to download but no luck | 10:36 |

| Fudge | slobro not a good idea to ask :p | 10:37 |
| AlanBell | Shovell: you might be better off getting a cheap USB wifi dongle and waiting for that thing you have to be supported in a later release of the kernel | 10:37 |

| ikonia | kltrg: there is an options directive called "Indexes" under <Directory> | 10:50 |

| AlanBell | aum___: if you are doing a kiosk project you should be aiming for a locked down machine, with a minimal set of permissions for the user the app runs as | 11:04 |
| Myrtti | Timmmm: you've tried shift-key? | 11:04 |
| Timmmm | Myrtti: Yep. I basically get a single digit count-down, that only updates when I press a key. I think the menu is there, I just can't see it. | 11:04 |
| AlanBell | Timmmm: hold shift from power on (it is one of the few keys the BIOS doesn't complain about being held down) | 11:05 |

| Sidewinder1 | !rootirc | Guest 59163 | 11:06 |
| ubottu | Guest 59163: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: what are you trying to do ? | 11:06 |
| anony8 | Anyone knows where can i get free proxy for the IRC? | 11:06 |
| usalabs | how do I use remote VNC to access various VM guests running under a KVM? if each guest display VNC is allocated only the localhost (127.0.0.1) IP?, which to me means that I can only access them from the same machine the KVM is running on. | 11:06 |
| Timmmm | ìkonia: Get into the grub menu. | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: to do what ? | 11:07 |
| AlanBell | Timmmm: there is no countdown, holding shift gets you to grub. | 11:07 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Dual boot windows. | 11:07 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: is the dual boot setup ? | 11:07 |
| Timmmm | AlanBell: Ah, in that case I guess it isn't detecting my key presses for some reason... | 11:07 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Not yet. | 11:07 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: can you boot ubuntu ? | 11:07 |
| kes | good morning. I'm having a problem with Upstart, when I try to launch my daemon through upstart it gets killed pretty much instantly. however when I execute the script through terminal the daemon launches fine. see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11503571 for more detail | 11:08 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Yep. It does that itself after the timeout. | 11:08 |
| AlanBell | anony8: this isn't the right channel to ask that question | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: as a work around, have you considered putting a menu option and along time out in the grub config, from within ubuntu | 11:08 |
| kltrg | My apache2 behaves strangely. When I stop it using /etc/init.d/apache2 stop, it is still reacable. Does it restart automatically? | 11:08 |
| Timmmm | AlanBell: I should also say I added the timeout.... | 11:08 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Yeah I added a timeout, but it doesn't display the menu... | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: remove the hidenmenu option | 11:09 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: I wanted to add the boot option from the menu since it is a bit easier to find out which hd(x,y) to use there... And update-grub doesn't detect my windows install. | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: (hiddenmenu, or hidemenu, can't remember what it's called) | 11:09 |
| unannounced | well thanks for ignoring me ikonia | 11:09 |
| ikonia | unannounced: what ? | 11:10 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Hmm, I can't find that... where is it? | 11:10 |
| unannounced | should i repeat myself? | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: let me see if I have a machine with grub2 on to find the setting | 11:10 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Thanks! | 11:10 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Did you mean GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET? I already set that to false.. :-/ | 11:11 |
| ikonia | that maybe it | 11:11 |
| ikonia | it used to be called hiddenmenu or hidemenu in grub1 - trying to find the same grub2 option | 11:11 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: What I can't work out is why the screen is purple before it even gets to the linux boot... Must be something ubuntu have changed to make the boot process seem more seamless. | 11:12 |
| unannounced | any staff in here to help? | 11:12 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: it's possibly an incorrect setting on your videocard mode | 11:12 |
| FreeWilly | hey ubuntu community peepz, can anyone suggest a irc chat room for networking issues? | 11:13 |
| kltrg | oCean, index.php is listed in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf. I still get the 403 error | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: just to be clear you've tried holding down the shift key during boot? | 11:13 |
| unannounced | i thought so FreeWilly | 11:13 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Yeah seems like something like that. I might try the GRUB_TERMINAL=console option, although it says it only works for grub-pc. Not sure about that. | 11:13 |
| ikonia | FreeWilly: ##networking | 11:13 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: YEah I have. | 11:13 |
| harsh343 | I am trying to run titanium on ubuntu 11.10 but unable to run any idea ? | 11:13 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: I will try once more. brb. | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: just double checking | 11:13 |
| harsh343 | means unable to install android sdk | 11:14 |
| oCean | kltrg: and you're sure you have something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/756943/ with "Indexes" specified in your vhost file? | 11:14 |
| D0minat0r | Creative Optia AF and ubuntu 11.10 not working anyone have any ideas why? or has had similar problems? | 11:14 |
| FreeWilly | ikonia: thanks | 11:15 |
| D0minat0r | creative webcam that is... | 11:15 |
| kltrg | oCean, What is my vhost file? I didn't check a file with a such name | 11:15 |
| FreeWilly | unannounced: that was a bot'ish reply | 11:15 |
| AlanBell | unannounced: have you asked a question about Ubuntu? | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: anything ? | 11:16 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Aha! With the console option it not isn't purple, and says "Error: no video mode activated" | 11:16 |
| Timmmm | *now | 11:16 |
| oCean | kltrg: by default the webroot is located in /var/www, this is specified in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default configuration file (=vhost configuration) If you created a new location (say /var/mydir) then you have to create a new vhost file with the correct specifications | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: ok, so there is a suggesting that your card may need some certain boot options to work | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: FYI: researching I found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 quite a good source of info | 11:17 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: Yeah at least now I have something to google! | 11:17 |
| oCean | kltrg: actually you don't need another vhostfile, you can also add another <Directory> directive in the existing vhost file | 11:17 |
| airtonix | oCean: bad habits are bad | 11:17 |
| oCean | airtonix: well, yes | 11:17 |

| Sidewinder1 | AlanBell, ^ unannounced said " need help on bridging. i pick internet using p-t-p on my desktop and want to connect my wan port to the lan of the desktop so that other pdas pick from the ap." | 11:20 |
| Timmmm | ikonia: I found a bug report with a workaround. Cheers! | 11:20 |
| ikonia | Timmmm: well done | 11:20 |
| `-` | grr | 11:20 |
| AlanBell | unannounced: OK, I didn't see the question (no question mark) and now I have, I don't understand the question. What is p-t-p, what is the wan port of the lan, what is a pda in this context? | 11:22 |
| AlanBell | unannounced: and what exactly is the question you want answered? | 11:23 |
| unannounced | desktop picks internet via point to point(modem). clear? | 11:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | AlanBell, I'm guessing p-t-p means "Point to point tunneling protocol? | 11:23 |
| kltrg | oCean, I tried to add this but I'm not sure if restarting apache2 works properly since it's still there even if I stop it | 11:23 |
| kltrg | oCean, So perhaps, that's my issue | 11:24 |
| kes | would anyone like to confirm that I am unlikely to get any useful repsonse to my upstart problem at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11503571 , should just accept that it won't work and move on? | 11:24 |
| unannounced | so i want to bridge the ppp0 interface with my lan eth0 interface s | 11:24 |
| AlanBell | Sidewinder1: I was wondering if it was pptp or peer to peer. turns out neither, it is ppp | 11:25 |

| `-` | that's failure whispering to you - ignore it | 11:28 |

| unannounced | i am sharing the connection with an AP not other computers | 11:29 |
| Sidewinder1 | unannounced, I humbly apologize, but yes, I do not fully understand your question; not that i would have an answer even if I did.. :-( | 11:29 |
| unannounced | its a different scenario | 11:29 |
| kes | thanks mr facenick :-) | 11:29 |
| AlanBell | an AP being a wireless access point. Not very different, might need a crossover cable if it isn't autoswitching | 11:30 |
| `-` | kes your also expecting response too fast.. it may take a few days | 11:30 |
| `-` | so.. instead lets try something different.. how about you look for a guide on how to start a service based on an event | 11:31 |

| unannounced | thanks.... | 11:31 |

| kes | `-` I've tried doing that indeed. if I am not being specific about what I'm looking for there are only windows and bluetooth related hits. if I do get specific, google just spews my own forum posts back at me | 11:33 |
| kes | also, forums and places like that seem to get snowed under in questions, leaving mine for more than the first 4 hours doesn't seem to result in any more views | 11:35 |

| `-` | pietrubens | 11:44 |
| `-` | that's why i say wubi | 11:44 |
| `-` | it runs fine, it can modify the windows bootloader, and it can uninstall | 11:44 |

| goudkov | how does it know which packages to pull? | 11:59 |
| goudkov | i was wondering about names specifically | 11:59 |
| goudkov | if "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted" is for 32-bit | 11:59 |
| goudkov | then what's for 64? | 11:59 |
| `-` | the apt repo list? | 11:59 |
| histo | goudkov: architecture is defined in several places | 12:00 |
| `-` | that's the same for the most part | 12:00 |
| harsh343 | deej1976, again same thing happens | 12:00 |
| histo | goudkov: but not in the sources.list | 12:00 |
| goudkov | histo: ok, thanks. | 12:00 |
| harsh343 | deej1976, output volition 2098 1988 0 17:30 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto titanium | 12:00 |

| seb___ | bash question: I want to list the files in a directory. The ls command lists directories as well and I can't find a way around it. Any suggestions? Ty | 12:01 |
| goudkov | histo: would you know where is should look for such differences? | 12:01 |
| deej1976 | ps -ef | grep Titanium | 12:01 |
| histo | saju_m: if you want to schedule the script you can just add it to root's cron. sudo crontab -e then you don't need to worry about a password | 12:01 |
| goudkov | is -> I | 12:01 |

| deej1976 | harsh343: kill 1757 | 12:02 |
| seriously | saju_m: its not possible | 12:02 |
| histo | saju_m: then I would echo password | sudo -S some command blah blah | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | im not sure sudo can work that way... | 12:02 |
| saju_m | ok | 12:02 |
| histo | dr_willis: sure it can | 12:03 |
| harsh343 | deej1976, yes works thanks | 12:03 |
| goudkov | ok, thanks | 12:03 |
| histo | saju_m: I strongly recomend putting the root password in a script though | 12:03 |
| histo | dr_willis: that's the point of the -S option | 12:03 |
| `-` | wth | 12:03 |
| dr_willis | ive seen people fight with scripting the password into sudo in the past.. its definatly a security hole.. wonder what the output of ps ax would show in such a case. | 12:03 |
| `-` | histo why would you say that | 12:03 |
| saju_m | ok | 12:03 |
| `-` | saju_m? | 12:03 |
| goudkov | would it be possible to use debootstrap running on a 32-bit system to install 64-bit distro and move everything to root? i did it with 32 on 32, but never 64 on 32. | 12:04 |
| aum___ | deej1976, thanks | 12:04 |
| seriously | goudkov: no | 12:04 |
| andyn | saju_m: you can allow sudo to run certain commands without password | 12:04 |
| goudkov | seriously: i'm not talking about running it in chroot. but about installing the system on another partition. not possible? | 12:04 |
| deej1976 | aum___: also Gofris | 12:04 |
| deej1976 | aum___: no 11.10 option | 12:05 |
| dr_willis | goudkov: i think you may run into issues.. since debootstrap basically does a chroot if i recall. | 12:05 |
| `-` | deej1976 btw - if your going to bother to kill a process kill -9 it | 12:05 |
| histo | '-' I can't type your name due to a binding issue here. Why would I say what? | 12:05 |
| deej1976 | `-`: to harsh, -9 next option | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. -9 should not be the kill option of first choice... | 12:06 |

| dr_willis | goudkov: been years since i last tried debootstraping.. | 12:06 |
| andyn | hah, -KILL should be the last option | 12:06 |
| histo | dr_willis: -S will accept password from stdin so i'm not sure | 12:06 |
| `-` | dr_willis i disagree | 12:06 |
| `-` | if your going to kill it kill it | 12:06 |
| `-` | if its not worth doing right, do something else | 12:06 |
| `-` | like, there's top | 12:07 |
| dr_willis | histo: yea. password needs to end in a newline. :) still not a good idea. | 12:07 |

| vjacob | hi. my gnome menu suddenly stopped working since yesterday evening. basically it does not respond to clicks with the built-in pointing device. any ideas how to troubleshoot this? | 12:07 |
| dr_willis | `-`: rather silly i belive.. theres a reason -9 is not the default. | 12:07 |
| goudkov | dr_willis: my other option it to use pivot_root on a running box. and i don't want to do that. | 12:07 |
| seriously | vjacob: dont use gnome | 12:07 |
| dr_willis | goudkov: never done that. :) | 12:07 |
| histo | dr_willis: nope. then he has to worry about the access to the script. No admin would like the way he wanted to do it. | 12:07 |

| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 12:07 |
| dr_willis | histo: yep. sudoers is most likely the 'proper' way to do it i guess.. | 12:08 |
| `-` | wow, that's a big surprise on the output for that input | 12:08 |
| histo | dr_willis: I would just execute the script as root or with sudo would make more sense | 12:08 |
| goudkov | is there any reason to use cdebootstrap instead of debootstrap? | 12:08 |
| histo | You can make suggestions to the bot if you want to chang eit | 12:08 |
| BluesKaj | hi all | 12:08 |
| `-` | the point of sudo is that root doesnt have to HAVE a password anymore | 12:09 |
| histo | dr_willis: sudo somescript.foo | 12:09 |
| `-` | this makes your system more secure from a cracking kiddy due to not being able to auth | 12:09 |
| `-` | once you set that pass.. it goes downhill fast | 12:09 |

| `-` | find -type file /path/to/dir > output.file | 12:10 |

| seriously | `-`: sudo is bad | 12:10 |
| `-` | find -type file /path/to/dir |cut 2- > output.file | 12:11 |
| `-` | i think 2- outputs char 3 and on but you may need to cut 3- | 12:11 |
| aum___ | deej1976, ok thanks. | 12:11 |
| andyn | you could use cut -d/ -c1 | 12:11 |

| llutz | faLUCE: stop X on liveCD, run "sudo Xorg -configure" and backup the created xorg.conf.new file | 13:11 |

| goldenboy87 | anyway i don't understand it, yesterday it was there and today not :( | 13:13 |
| BetArk | Now I read the following thing: for var directories 755, executables 755, files 644. The /tmp dir should be 1777. How did you move then anyway? | 13:14 |
| insmod | better if it was from Canada | 13:14 |

| LiNuX`sup | where are the wallpapers located in ubuntu 11.10? | 13:15 |
| xangua | goldenboy87: if that is not how happened, then please start to speak Clear | 13:16 |
| goldenboy87 | dr_willis, i get only /dev/sdb1 | 13:16 |
| BetArk | llutz: thanks, I'm booted right now, I read something about single mode? | 13:16 |
| llutz | BetArk: best to be done from livecd, not from running system | 13:16 |
| BetArk | do I need to chroot? | 13:16 |
| llutz | BetArk: no, just mount the partitions you need | 13:16 |
| BetArk | llutz: thanks, do I need to mount / also? | 13:17 |
| goldenboy87 | xangua, no i had windows7, ubuntu 11.10 for a few month. Yesterday i used ubuntu last time, today i start my laptop and everything is gone | 13:17 |
| goldenboy87 | with fdisk i get sda1-sda5 | 13:17 |
| llutz | BetArk: i'd dolike : mount /dev/old-rootfs /media/old, mount /dev/newvar /media/new, then "rsync -aux /media/old/var /media/new" | 13:18 |
| BetArk | llutz: can you explain what the command does? Sorry for the question.. new at linux | 13:18 |
| llutz | BetArk: just copying and preserving permissions | 13:18 |
| llutz | BetArk: "man rsync" for more info | 13:19 |
| goldenboy87 | sda1: hidden ntfs (maybe windows recovery), sda2 and sda3: hpfs/ntfs/exFAT ; sda4: Extended; sda5: Linux swap | 13:19 |
| BetArk | llutz: Oke, I have a clean installation, so I have doine this at install.. I said that there is a / root, and a /var on my HDD | 13:19 |
| BetArk | llutz: so this isn't afterwards.. | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | goldenboy87: you may want to pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for the channel to see. Was there anything on you rlinux install you wanted to recover? | 13:20 |
| BetArk | llutz: should I do a clean install and afterwards move the /var permission? | 13:21 |
| bagels | hey guys help! I have a netbook and after my update my touchpad doesn't work! | 13:21 |
| llutz | BetArk: sry busy. you could tell the installer to mount /var to a different partition i think. if reinstall is fine for your, why not. | 13:21 |
| BetArk | llutz: I don't want to do a clean install.. I have it installed, also defined in fstab, but I get the errors like not a 755 filesystem | 13:22 |
| BetArk | Do I need to remove /var from fstab? | 13:22 |
| goldenboy87 | dr_willis: i would like to know how could it happen, that my ubuntu installation just gone | 13:23 |
| xangua | tried the function keys to enable/disable it BetArk | 13:23 |
| llutz | BetArk: if your old /var still exists | 13:23 |
| xangua | sorry, that was for bagels: tried the function keys to enable/disable it ¿ | 13:23 |
| BetArk | llutz: no, it is a clean install. So yeah cant delete it from fstab.. sorry.. :P.. | 13:23 |
| llutz | BetArk: repairing broken ownerships/permissions isn't that easy, because not all files/dirs in /var/ are root:root 644/755 | 13:24 |
| BetArk | llutz: yes, I think is better to do a clean install (again), and then move it to a diff partition? | 13:25 |
| BetArk | Could idea? | 13:25 |
| bagels | xangua I have a function key that disables the touchpad but that didn't do it | 13:25 |
| goldenboy87 | that's the output http://pastebin.com/r19BcKEc | 13:25 |
| llutz | BetArk: would be a clean solution and maybe easier for you. backup your $home and changed configs from /etc before | 13:26 |
| ghufran | ok so i am here after getting frustrated for hours and searching on the internet. | 13:27 |
| randy2009 | llutz, can you see something weird here?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/756987/ | 13:27 |

| _calum | sorry, I should reword my question. Is it possible to bring up machine code of a dll file in Ubuntu? | 13:32 |
| randy2009 | what is going wrong here?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/756983/ did ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id user@ip, key is in autorized keys | 13:32 |

| BetArk | llutz: I don't know? Only the chmod command, chmod 1755 /var | 13:35 |
| AlanBell | almightydaemon: ah, right grub is probably confused with partitions now you have removed the external drive | 13:35 |
| randy2009 | does the public certificate login look @ the hostname? | 13:35 |
| bagels | Help! I tried enabling the touchpad through the terminal, with the fn keys, I can't get my touchpad mousee to work! | 13:35 |
| BetArk | llutz: chmod does it for all files and directories, right? | 13:35 |
| llutz | BetArk: sudo chmod 0755 /var don't use 1755 | 13:35 |
| almightydaemon | AlanBell: let me rephrase... I'm tryign to use ehdd as if it was simply the iso disk to install on internal hdd | 13:35 |
| _calum | does Ubuntu have an equivalent free program to IDA Pro? | 13:36 |
| AlanBell | almightydaemon: have you installed it and it now won't boot from the internal, or are you trying to boot from the external drive to start the install? | 13:36 |
| randy2009 | how can i change hostname? In my bash i see my hostname = hg, but in the certificate my hostname = hg.xx.nl | 13:37 |
| almightydaemon | AlanBell: the latter | 13:37 |
| randy2009 | certificate==public cert (ssh-keygen) | 13:37 |
| AlanBell | almightydaemon: ok, right, how did you create the image on the external drive? unetbootin or something? | 13:37 |
| llutz | randy2009: user@host in pub-key is ok, its just an info where the key comes from | 13:37 |
| almightydaemon | AlanBell: it's just the iso... copy pasted it | 13:38 |
| AlanBell | almightydaemon: ok, there is a bit more to it than that | 13:38 |
| almightydaemon | AlanBell: i noticed :) | 13:38 |
| llutz | randy2009: just use "ssh-keygen -t rsa" | 13:39 |

| sheenobu | urthmover, yeah we wouldn't use pure debian over ubuntu, we'd go RPM-based I imagine | 14:27 |

| Guest67345 | meadhikari: Is it even being recognized by the system as it is plugged in? (To find out do this: open a terminal, type tail: -f /var/log/messages Plug it in and see what comes across the screen in that terminal. | 15:43 |
| ThinkT510 | meadhikari: so you do get output, its listed there /dev/sdb1 | 15:43 |
| Lxndr | AlanBell, Looks like uninstalling it helped. At least, it's not freezing up at the same place... Wish me luck as it continues the upgrade. | 15:43 |
| AlanBell | great! | 15:43 |
| meadhikari | Guest67345, ThinkT510 yes it is listed | 15:43 |

| goldenboy87 | if i install ubuntu with windows already installed, where will it be installed then? | 15:44 |
| ThinkT510 | goldenboy87: on a different partition | 15:45 |
| Guest67345 | goldenboy87: That is up to you. | 15:45 |
| MonkeyDust | goldenboy87 on a partition next to windows | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | goldenboy87: you can use wubi to install to a file on your NTFS, or you can resize NTFS and install to it's own partition | 15:45 |
| MonkeyDust | ouch wubi | 15:45 |
| ThinkT510 | ActionParsnip: please no wubi | 15:45 |
| meadhikari | Guest67345, ThinkT510 i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/757189/ | 15:45 |
| ThinkT510 | it makes me cringe | 15:45 |
| Guest67345 | goldenboy87: The install program will ask you where to install it, and you will be given options for creating free space for the install. | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ThinkT510: its an option, i don't like it either | 15:46 |
| nerdy_kid | why is it when I add 'UBUNTU_MENUPROXY="" audacity' to audacity's .desktop file, the desktop file no longer works, but yet if I run the exact command in the shell it works? | 15:46 |
| ubuntu | is installing ubuntu alongside windows a full install or a wubi | 15:46 |
| MonkeyDust | if you want to get used to the GUI, don't use wubi, use a live cd | 15:46 |
| goldenboy87 | yes but default what will it be? i accidentally clicked on install with windows, instead of manually install | 15:46 |
| PeeOnYou | is there a way i can overwrite the SMART data ? | 15:46 |
| PeeOnYou | that way i can shut ubuntu up for good | 15:46 |
| ThinkT510 | ubuntu: full | 15:46 |
| Guest67345 | meadhikari: So what command did you use to try and format the partition /dev/sdb1 ? | 15:46 |
| ubuntu | ok thanks guys | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | goldenboy87: if you boot to the install CD you will more than likely resize NTFS | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | PeeOnYou: disable smart in BIOS | 15:47 |
| deej1976 | PeeOnYou: have try smartctl -s off /dev/sd## | 15:47 |

| meadhikari | Guest67345, ThinkT510 Thanks guys it worked :) | 15:48 |
| PeeOnYou | yes well it told me | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | PeeOnYou: or just be more vigilant with backups so if it dies, you don't care | 15:48 |
| Guest67345 | meadhikari: Well, I don't know... You might just use mkdosfs | 15:48 |
| PeeOnYou | honestly if it does die | 15:48 |
| PeeOnYou | i dont care | 15:48 |
| Guest67345 | meadhikari: Ok, good | 15:48 |
| ofaurax_boulot | debootstrap fails because I have a custom mirroir which don't have a Release in it | 15:48 |
| meadhikari | Guest67345, ThinkT510 Thanks a lot | 15:48 |
| szal | Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0 sounds promising, but as I understand it, End-to-End_Error is more of a defect of the data transmission chain | 15:49 |
| ofaurax_boulot | what is the work of debootstrap ? | 15:49 |
| ofaurax_boulot | I removed my repository from the apt config | 15:49 |
| PeeOnYou | hm | 15:49 |
| ofaurax_boulot | but debootstrap tries to find the Release file in it | 15:49 |

| ofaurax_boulot | how can I make debootstrap ignore my custom repository ? | 15:50 |
| szal | ofaurax_boulot: comment it out? | 15:51 |
| alFReD-NSH | Does any normal program, uses sendmail? I wanna remove it, any problem with it? | 15:51 |
| Guest67345 | alFReD-NSH: Shouldn't be a problem. | 15:51 |
| deej1976 | PeeOnYou: Start up disk utility, click the disk, view smart data, and tick box at the bottom "Don't Warn if the disk is failing" | 15:52 |
| PeeOnYou | deej1976: i wish it was that easy | 15:52 |
| awsoonn | I'm having a horrible time with my bluetooth devices after upgrading to 11.10 and need some help. I've had problems with bluetoothd crashign on me and now I'm even gettign daily Kernel panics when using BT devices. | 15:52 |
| szal | alFReD-NSH: sendmail is used internally to send system messages to root and/or other users; the average home user doesn't configure their e-mail client to read system messages though, so you should be able to safely disable/remove it | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | PeeOnYou: the ultimate boot cd will have a low level tester for the drive too, from the manufacturer. May tell you more | 15:53 |
| ofaurax_boulot | szal: done in apt.list, but desbootstrap try to find it anyway | 15:53 |
| deej1976 | PeeOnYou: Is the option not there? | 15:53 |
| PeeOnYou | deej1976: for what ever reason disk utility does not have a smart data button | 15:53 |
| PeeOnYou | so then i can't check that box | 15:53 |
| PeeOnYou | just for that drive | 15:53 |
| PeeOnYou | the others all have it | 15:53 |
| ofaurax_boulot | szal: I commented it in sources.list and tried apt-get update | 15:54 |
| deej1976 | PeeOnYou: Type re-enable smartctl -s on /dev/sd# | 15:54 |
| ofaurax_boulot | szal: then I tried "$ sudo pbuilder create" and it complained | 15:54 |

| PeeOnYou | oh my god | 15:54 |
| deej1976 | PeeOnYou: Try* | 15:54 |

| norwack | ikonia: Im not asking for help! Im just asking how to get the neccesary information from the computer to do so. Idi..... | 16:19 |
| jisaacs1207 | I was just curious what could be limiting ubuntu memory usage. | 16:19 |
| szal | DemonWitch: no, the Grub will chainload Windows, and for that to work a Windows bootblock needs to be present | 16:19 |
| lalaland1125 | DemonWitch: If windows is already installed and working, grub can daisy chain the bootloader to run windows | 16:19 |
| ThinkT510 | norwack: you think asking for the info to do it isn't asking for help? | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | jisaacs1207: are there any options you can set when you run the server to give more ram? Have you tried running it as root to test | 16:20 |

| ActionParsnip | jisaacs1207: are there bugs reported, or do others have the same issue online? | 16:32 |

| mkjackson | :-) | 16:53 |
| ThinkT510 | mkjackson: what are the system specs? | 16:53 |
| szal | obviously Natty | 16:53 |
| ThinkT510 | mkjackson: if 8.04 works very well, chances are 11.04 will too | 16:54 |
| yanightmare | ActionParsnip, yeah so a "sudo apt-get autoclean" should solve the prob for a while ? | 16:54 |
| mkjackson | can't remember the proc so much but I know that it's only got 512 mb | 16:54 |
| ActionParsnip | yanightmare: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic linux-image-2.6.38-12-generic ; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 16:54 |

| yanightmare | thank you very ActionParsnip :) problem solved | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | yanightmare: i suggest you install bleacbit, close as many apps as you can and run it as root then as your user. Watch settings as you will remove settings you want and also avoid options which say that will take a long time or are experimental | 16:56 |

| ikonia | omido: I don't have logging enabled | 17:16 |

| ikonia | then you didn't need to chain load | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt.conf | 17:17 |
| omido | ikonia: i didnt know how to install grub1 | 17:17 |

| ikonia | PCOSLinux installed it | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: sorry: ksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf | 17:17 |
| omido | i can reinstall | 17:17 |

| omido | right now pclinuxos 's grub legacy is the default system bootloader and is installed to MBR | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ghufran: add this text and change it as needed: http://pastie.org/2955855 | 17:18 |
| ikonia | so you need to chainload grub2 from PCOSLinux's setup | 17:18 |

| omido | ikonia: pclinux has a boot utility in its control center. but i cant understand some parts . here is a shot : http://img.susepaste.org/images/d7d51452.jpeg | 17:19 |
| ghufran | ActionParsnip: okay. thanks. | 17:19 |
| ghufran | let me try | 17:19 |
| ikonia | omido: that setup is going to boot ubuntu directly from PCOSLinux grub, is that what you want, or are you going to chainload grub2 ? | 17:19 |

| ikonia | omido: I suggest you chainload grub2 then | 17:21 |
| omido | ikonia: can you help me with that ? | 17:21 |
| ikonia | omido: I'd suggest using the PCOSLinux support resources as this is their grub and their config | 17:21 |
| omido | i really like both OS's. both have their good points . | 17:21 |
| ikonia | omido: the generic chainload options should be enough though | 17:21 |

| omido | ikonia: can you please help me with that configuration tool ? i dont know what shoud i enter in image selection and other blank fields | 17:22 |
| ghufran | oh. to .bashrc | 17:22 |
| ikonia | omido: that configuration tool is not usefult you as you want to setup a chainload entry | 17:22 |

| ivellios | Hi, I am using Ubuntu 8.04 as a server/router in my network. Yesterday I had an update and now I cannot resolve any names by ping: I get the message: ping: unknown host google.com. Everything in the network works fine (routing too; since I can write with you), but cannot connect from the terminal. Any ideas? DNS are up and fine (from my ISP). | 17:47 |

| llutz | ivellios: have you set/changed any iptables-rules? | 18:01 |
| ivellios | Ilutz: no, I havent... everything was running great till yesterday | 18:02 |
| Guest67345 | ivellios: It is ok for a gateway to not resolve domain names. | 18:02 |
| llutz | ivellios: temporarily remove any iptables-rules and check ping then | 18:03 |
| ivellios | But it was working before, it is also my server and client for irc bots :/ | 18:03 |
| soj200 | I would be better to have stars to indicate the experience rather than ambiguous terms like "Standard". That way if stars are greyed out, i know i don't have the best experience and need to tweak things. "Standard" could mean anything | 18:03 |
| ivellios | Illutz: how to remove "temporarily" | 18:03 |
| Guest67345 | ivellios: llutz If it is a nat sever and he unloads iptables rules, it will break the LAN | 18:04 |
| llutz | ivellios: save your rules into a file, unset all rules, test, reload rules | 18:04 |
| gizmobay | Guest67345: Thanks! | 18:04 |
| rekalzj | whois soj200 | 18:04 |
| ivellios | yeah, I think that too... I am working through my LAN | 18:04 |
| Guest67345 | ivellios: Are the clients unable to resovlve domain names? Or just the server? | 18:04 |
| Guest67345 | gizmobay: NP | 18:05 |
| ivellios | just server, I am working on the computer in LAN and everything is fine | 18:05 |
| Guest67345 | ivellios: Look at /etc/resov.conf and see what you have there. | 18:05 |
| ivellios | I looked before: DNS of my ISP | 18:05 |
| Guest67345 | ivellios: BUt... does it NEED to resovle domain names for any particular reason? | 18:06 |

| mallaithe | Hey guys, I've just installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 on my Thinkpad x121e. The installation seemed to go fine, but it doesn't look like the bootloader was installed at all. I'd rather keep the existing WIndows 7 installation and just be able to boot (by default) into Ubuntu. Any suggestions? | 18:06 |
| ivellios | well... yes, since I am using it as a host for my IRC bots | 18:06 |
| ivellios | Guest67345: I get Operation not permitted | 18:07 |
| mallaithe | I installed 11.10 and chose the option to install alongside the other operating systems, just can't manage to boot into Ubuntu now =) | 18:07 |
| ivellios | AFAIK it is good response for DNS | 18:07 |
| Guest67345 | Operation not permitted? ping ? | 18:08 |
| ivellios | to DNS ? I think so... don't know | 18:08 |
| Guest67345 | Doesn't sound like a network problem | 18:08 |
| llutz | sound like ICMP DROP | 18:08 |
| Guest67345 | ivellios: What command was that? ping 62.179.1.62 ? | 18:09 |
| ivellios | yes | 18:09 |
| ivellios | well... if it were network, why would my computer work fine in the network? | 18:10 |

| konaya | DeltaEpsilon, counselling. | 18:11 |
| ivellios | Guest67345: Error: Bad port ? | 18:11 |
| Guest67345 | ivellios: Is this server still 8.04 ? If so, you really need to upgrade it. | 18:11 |
| ivellios | I know, have no time sadly :/ | 18:11 |
| qwebirc25001 | I enabled atlantis cube and my unity dock is gone. ctrl alt t not working either | 18:11 |
| ivellios | I am not expert in administration, so setting everything from basics is... a trouble for me. So tried not to upgrade as long as possible :/ | 18:12 |
| konaya | Ubuntu Server with a rolling release model would be my dream. | 18:13 |
| DeltaEpsilon | how do I add a folder to my favo list in nautilus? | 18:13 |
| llutz | konaya: you don't want rolling releases on servers | 18:13 |
| konaya | DeltaEpsilon, just drag it there. | 18:13 |
| DeltaEpsilon | konaya, can :\ | 18:13 |
| DeltaEpsilon | can´t | 18:13 |
| ivellios | second problem is... I cannot ping my server from outside :/ don't know why, my services are not available :/ | 18:13 |
| konaya | llutz, tell that to all the thriving Gentoo and Arch servers :) | 18:13 |
| chaz|afk | firewall | 18:14 |

| ivellios | Ilutz: http://dpaste.com/665002/ | 18:15 |
| konaya | A|i3N, did you supply ssh-keygen with a password when creating the key, then? | 18:15 |
| A|i3N | i don't think the host is configured to allow key based logins - how do I change it? | 18:15 |
| konaya | Or did you just press enter? | 18:15 |
| Guest67345 | ivellios: You may have an iptables rule restricting icmp on the outside nic | 18:16 |
| ivellios | Ilutz: one thing in line 37. | 18:16 |
| konaya | Or did I misunderstand you now? | 18:16 |
| A|i3N | Yes I did but like I just said I don't think I set it up to allow key logins | 18:16 |
| A|i3N | but I don't know how to change that setting :) | 18:16 |
| ivellios | I see in 37. line my old IP (it changed yesterday) :/ | 18:16 |
| chaz|afk | A|i3N: /etc/sshd/sshd.conf | 18:16 |
| konaya | A|i3N, it's enabled by default. | 18:16 |
| ivellios | (or today) | 18:16 |
| A|i3N | yea I think I might have turned it off but I don't know lol. Thank you I'll check there | 18:16 |
| Frogging101 | I think I broke Unity or some part of the Ubuntu GUI. I was doing something and in the process I (stupidly) ran "sudo killall -9 gnome-session" now the sidebar thing doesn't show up anymore, and all I see at the top of the desktop screen is file, view, bookmarks etc. menus. Alt-tab doesn't work and I have been using the TTY to start programs since I can't get to any useful menus. How do I fix it? | 18:16 |
| Frogging101 | I restarted and it didn't fix | 18:17 |
| chaz|afk | reboot three times | 18:17 |
| ivellios | Guest67345: but it was working fine, why would I have such iptable entry now? | 18:17 |
| llutz | ivellios: change that rule, set your actual ip | 18:17 |
| Frogging101 | chaz|afk: Would that actually work? | 18:17 |
| konaya | Try starting unity from the command line, see what happens | 18:17 |
| ivellios | how to change it... i still cannot understand chains (read about it for about 10 times :/ ) | 18:17 |
| chaz|afk | or /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 18:18 |
| Frogging101 | konaya: I did, it doesn't seem to change anything | 18:18 |
| Frogging101 | chaz|afk: I'll try it | 18:18 |
| Frogging101 | One sec | 18:18 |
| konaya | Frogging101, but what does it say? Stuff usually spit something out in the console. | 18:18 |
| chaz|afk | and rebooting three times usually only works the first time. :+) | 18:18 |
| Frogging101 | konaya: I'll check | 18:18 |
| ivellios | Ilutz: on the line 12. too | 18:18 |
| ivellios | but still don't know how to change it | 18:18 |
| Frogging101 | konaya: Hmm, it says unity-panel service process is not found. I'll try starting it and report | 18:19 |
| konaya | Frogging101, try making another user account on your computer and log in with that. If it works from that account but not from your usual account, something's messed up in your home directory. | 18:19 |
| llutz | ivellios: http://gr8idea.info/os/tutorials/security/iptables9.html follow this, it should show you the way to change the rules | 18:21 |
| Frogging101 | konaya: Apparently... that's not a process :( | 18:21 |

| elb0w | and the system becomes unusable until a reboot? | 18:24 |
| zagabar | something similar to strace or such. | 18:24 |
| zagabar | To see where the file tries to load the .so file from. | 18:24 |
| Pici | threexk: That is usually due to an uncompleted apt-get update or a mirror that hasn't synced fully. Can you try running sudo apt-get update manually and then trying again? | 18:24 |

| pransalad | sskalnik: yes. works on a typical workstation. it is currently failing on a dell server | 18:41 |
| MeirD | samba is not enough? | 18:41 |
| threexk | ssta: per someone's advice on ubuntuforums.org | 18:41 |
| dr_willis | MeirD: that can work | 18:41 |
| Guest67345 | ghufran: xfce is not exactly like gnome2 but similar | 18:41 |
| MeirD | how? (I already have samba installed) | 18:41 |
| dr_willis | !samba | 18:42 |
| ubottu | 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. | 18:42 |
| ghufran | Guest67345: so the new interface is limited in terms of control? or i just can't find it? | 18:42 |
| MeirD | ok thnx | 18:42 |
| * jiltdil gnome2 is better option to use rather than xfce | 18:42 | |
| ssta | threexk: hmm, not sure how that would help, but of it works, fine :) | 18:42 |
| pransalad | sskalnik: yea 'live' just makes it hang there with nothing more | 18:42 |
| dr_willis | MeirD: sshfs is more straight foward i find. | 18:42 |
| Guest67345 | MeirD: Are you talking about sharing a directory between two linux PCs? | 18:42 |
| MeirD | yes | 18:42 |
| threexk | ssta: OK, hopefully I have not subtly messed up something on my system | 18:42 |
| ghufran | Guest67345: like 10.04? | 18:43 |
| dr_willis | MeirD: sshfs is very handy for that | 18:43 |
| MeirD | thnx, will try that | 18:43 |
| ssta | threexk: doubt it. If you move the lists, they just get rebuilt the next time you update I think... | 18:43 |
| Guest67345 | ghufran: Yes, limited in terms on control or customization. That is the usual complaint - to which the common solution is to switch to xfce | 18:43 |
| dr_willis | !sshfs | 18:43 |
| ubottu | sshfs is a !Fuse based filesystem which allows you to mount a remote system over !SSH - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS for instructions | 18:43 |
| rodhash | Hi all... could someone give me some help to pair a bluetooth keyboard ?? (microsoft keyboard 6000) | 18:43 |
| Guest67345 | ghufran: Yes, like 10.04 | 18:43 |
| mushy | dr_willis, you were right using upgrade kept my personal documents! | 18:43 |
| sskalnik | pransalad, Interesting. Only seen that issue on USB sticks, where the "live" or "help" options are a workaround. | 18:44 |
| mushy | dr_willis, however since i installed the netbook edition initially it deleted my gnome and xfce install | 18:44 |
| mushy | ]= | 18:44 |
| dr_willis | mushy: of course it did :-) | 18:44 |
| Guest67345 | ghufran: In fact, with a little configuration, xfce can be made to look and feel almost exactly like gnome2. /join #xfce | 18:44 |

| mushy | dr_willis, but it would appear 11.10 has its own netbook version | 18:45 |
| rodhash | Anyone? | 18:45 |
| dr_willis | mushy: 11.10 is not a netbook edition | 18:45 |
| Guest67345 | ghufran: NO. gnome2 is what 10.04 had. | 18:45 |
| mushy | dr_willis, it has one, would you like a screenshot? | 18:46 |

| toomai | hi all | 19:00 |
| pransalad | i may start taking bets on this server install soon... still booting | 19:00 |
| teddie | Hello toomai | 19:00 |
| toomai | anyone got an idea where the general log files are? /var/log/messages seem to be out of the scope since 11.04 | 19:00 |
| wildc4rd | evenin' all | 19:04 |
| escott | toomai, try /var/log/syslog | 19:04 |
| cncking2000 | Is it normal to have to run udhcpc 4 times on a netboot install? | 19:04 |
| toomai | escott: oh my...might be true....I am getting old...and actually, why chaning it :) | 19:04 |
| cncking2000 | I am thinking that this is something worthy of a bug report. | 19:05 |
| CharminTheMoose | Guest67345, I mean the characters in the title bar of the dialog. The stuff at the top of the screen is conky. | 19:06 |
| cncking2000 | Is it normal to have to run udhcpc 4 times on a netboot install? | 19:07 |
| escott | toomai, supposedly it has to do with the category (info,warn,notice,error) passed to syslog. they may have just decided that the categories weren't correct enough to bother having a seperate log file for non-critical messages. im sure you could reenable it by tweaking your syslog.conf | 19:07 |
| cncking2000 | Why is it taking 11 minutes to download the kernel on a 100Mbit server today? | 19:08 |
| cncking2000 | And again, why is udhcpc releasing the IP address in the middle of the install? | 19:09 |
| toomai | escott: yes, that is true...but still...RHEL, SuSE, Debian...all do it the same way...I am just wondering | 19:09 |
| escott | toomai, ill be honest. i dont know the difference so I just have to grep everything. they may have felt that for the target userbase it was just one more file, and one more way to confuse people so that they miss important messages | 19:10 |
| lauratika | is is possible that my cdrom is desconfigurated? | 19:11 |
| toomai | escott: well, thanks a lot! | 19:11 |
| escott | lauratika, what is the problem? | 19:12 |
| lauratika | isnert a dvd and it wont play | 19:13 |
| lauratika | but | 19:13 |
| lauratika | dvd works fine in other pc | 19:13 |
| escott | !dvd | lauratika make sure you run the script in /usr/lib/libdvdcss | 19:14 |
| ubottu | lauratika make sure you run the script in /usr/lib/libdvdcss: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

| cncking2000 | Windows 2008 server vs Ubuntu 11.04. Windows 1, Ubuntu 0. Ubuntu 11.04 cant even install on a IBM X335, it seems to release the ip address multiple times during the install, preventing forward progress. Just want to let everyone know this issue. I have tried 4 different servers, no change. The default out of the box config does not work. In the meantime, it seems that 2008 server also handles static web better, with much lower latenc | 19:18 |

| escott | ubuntunoob, where did you get this script? | 19:19 |
| cncking2000 | How do you change the mirror in 11.04 netinstall? | 19:20 |
| cncking2000 | The only option is us.archive.ubuntu.org, which as of right now is being painfully slow for me. | 19:20 |
| Guido1 | the problem is that there is no normal monitor conected. I have conected it to my televisie with the yellow video conection | 19:20 |
| ubuntunoob | from a website, escott | 19:20 |
| escott | DD2, have you tried the hda_analyzer script? | 19:21 |
| linux4u | I know I have done this before just cant remember the options. I want to mount an existing directory under another directory. like mount /onedirectory /home/anotherdirectory | 19:21 |
| ubuntunoob | a "website" ;) | 19:21 |
| DD2 | escott: no, what's that ? | 19:21 |
| Ampelbein | cncking2000: You can input the data by hand if you choose the topmost slection at the language selection screen I think. | 19:21 |
| Ampelbein | cncking2000: Either there or at the country selection is an option to input data manually. | 19:22 |

| escott | DD2, intel hda sound has multiple output pins and every laptop is unique in what those pins are attached to. its likely that your headphones are attached to pin 15 but the default assumption is pin 13 (just making those numbers up) and thats why the headphones dont work. hda_analyzer available at the alsa website will allow you to manually play with what output pins are enabled | 19:22 |

| M0TRN_th1 | or bad example but it sucks\ | 19:46 |
| escott | !notunity | M0TRN_th1 | 19:46 |
| ubottu | M0TRN_th1: 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 | 19:46 |
| M0TRN_th1 | escott, I don't care about the unity thing I care about window switching with alt-tab and the like | 19:46 |
| wimaxubuntu | Weems: When you right click the existing panel with SuperKey (WinKey) + Alt, you should get a "New Panel" option | 19:46 |

| escott | M0TRN_th1, your 11.10 unity window manager is unchanged from 11.04 | 19:47 |
| wimaxubuntu | Weems: on the bottom one, did you try to right click with the WinKey + Alt? | 19:47 |

| escott | gribouille, i guess check and see if there are any bugs on launchpad, but gvim is a fairly commonly installed package. i would think that would be tested. you could also remove/rename your .gvimrc in case it is causing a conflict | 20:18 |
| escott | Varazir, Xorg -configure should generate an Xorg.conf that you can put in your /etc/X11 directory | 20:18 |

| Sugitime | What command would I use to call http://localhost/keepalive.php via a cron job? I want the script to execute. | 20:21 |
| sturd | Hello all. Can anyone shed any light as to why my Ubuntu install disk wont work? I select "Install Ubuntu" from the menu selection, then 5 seconds after loading the vmlinuz image and whatever else it does around then. It hangs. Around the time of initialising USB services, I think. | 20:21 |
| sturd | I'm already running Ubuntu 11.10 alongside Windows 7 (both x64), I came to re-install ubuntu because I stupidly chose to format my root partition using 'btrfs' and it's as slow as a snail! Now it doesn't boot to Ubuntu, or an installer of LinuxMint 11. :( | 20:21 |
| lwizardl | anyone use a Virgin Mobile Ovation MC760 usb mobile broadband card on ubuntu ? google isn't helping for working status | 20:21 |
| bekks | Sugitime: Then call the php command line interface. Btw: running php as cron is... dont do it. | 20:22 |
| Sugitime | How else can I keep hitting keepalive.php then? | 20:22 |

| The_Loko | Hi all, i have a really annoying problem: I have a printer connected to other computer with windows, and i'm trying to print from here with samba, and i have everything configured. When I print a test page, it says that the printer works and show the progress, but the printer doesn't do anything. | 20:23 |
| bekks | Sugitime: Dont run php as cron. There is entirely nothing you would need php for. You could do all that with with a scripting language worth its name. | 20:23 |
| bobweaver | wendico: sudo rmmod rt2870sta | 20:23 |
| bobweaver | wendico: then modprobe rt2800usb | 20:24 |
| bobweaver | again | 20:24 |
| Sugitime | My application is a web app. The cronjob is just to keep the heartbeat of the app | 20:24 |
| escott | Varazir, there is a limited amount you can do. X isn't going to want to send data to uninitialized and powered off devices | 20:24 |
| wendico | bobweaver, done with no echoes | 20:24 |
| bobweaver | good is wireless working now ? | 20:25 |
| Varazir | escott: I guest something like that, that's why I thought of creating a script | 20:25 |
| wendico | nope :( | 20:25 |
| escott | sturd, make sure you dont have lots of extra usb devices installed that you dont need | 20:25 |
| wendico | lets me unplug-plug | 20:25 |
| bobweaver | wendico: if not lets see dmesg | grep rt2 | 20:25 |
| Varazir | escott: would be easy to loop just need a way to check | 20:25 |
| escott | Varazir, you could have a cron process that checks if lightdm is running and then tries to start it | 20:25 |
| wendico | I can see it present in the wireless manager, but it does not detect any wifi | 20:26 |
| cari__veri | Hi there, apt-get holds broken packages and wont neither install nor uninstall my display driver :( | 20:26 |

| bobweaver | wendico: if not lets see dmesg | grep rt2 | 20:26 |
| escott | Varazir, well you have /run/lightdm.pid to work with | 20:26 |
| Varazir | escott: true | 20:26 |
| wendico | bobweaver http://pastebin.com/K13pWJTj | 20:27 |
| escott | sturd, how large is the disk | 20:27 |
| sturd | One is 500, the second is 150 (GiB) | 20:27 |
| bobweaver | wendico: Error - WPDMA TX/RX busy, aborting. | 20:27 |
| Varazir | escott: there shoudn't be a pid file if it's stoped ? | 20:27 |
| bobweaver | wendico: you have to pick one | 20:27 |
| sturd | 500 is a mix of NTFS, SWAP and Btrfs. I think the 150 is purely NTFS | 20:28 |
| escott | Varazir, if it exits cleanly it should remove its own pid file. if it segfaults those get left around | 20:28 |
| bobweaver | the 2 usb are getting confused | 20:28 |
| bobweaver | wendico: ^^ | 20:28 |
| wendico | bobweaver pick one? | 20:28 |

| wendico | rtl+ratlink problem? | 20:28 |
| escott | sturd, did this install disk work earlier? | 20:28 |

| bobweaver | wendico: Yes | 20:28 |

| Varazir | service status | 20:29 |
| wendico | ok, lets me unplug both and plug only ralink | 20:29 |
| bobweaver | wendico: if there are to moduals that colide with each other they are not going to work | 20:29 |
| sturd | It did. Though I've installed the 150GiB hard drive since installing Ubuntu. The installed version boots no problem... | 20:29 |
| bobweaver | wendico: you will also have to play with mod | 20:29 |
| Varazir | Staly_Nick: ask in #irssi | 20:29 |
| escott | Varazir, the point of the pid file is to give you a pid that you can then search for | 20:29 |
| Staly_Nick | Varazir: all dead : / | 20:29 |
| bobweaver | wendico: chilli555 writes something good about this subject here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378782&highlight=148f:3070 | 20:30 |

| escott | Varazir, ps -p `cat /run/lightdm.pid` | 20:30 |
| wendico | ups, i forgot im browsing internet with my RTL, nevertheless, unplugin RTL and pluging only the Ralink does not solve the problem, should i run any command with the ralink only card plugged? | 20:31 |
| Staly_Nick | Varazir: niebo, a ziemia/himmel und erde/english? i cant soo well : / | 20:31 |
| escott | sturd, maybe unplug the 150GiB. although it sounds strange | 20:31 |
| Varazir | escott: gives me PID TTY TIME CMD | 20:31 |
| escott | Varazir, which means its not running | 20:31 |
| Varazir | there is still a file in /run ... I could maybe check with ps | 20:32 |
| escott | Varazir, you just did check with ps | 20:32 |
| sturd | escott. will do. Though I can't promise I won't lay it out on the floor and elbow drop the bugger! haha | 20:32 |
| Varazir | escott: I mean in the script | 20:32 |
| wendico | should i rmmod and modprobe just with my ralink card plugged? | 20:33 |
| Varazir | Staly_Nick: swedish/english only | 20:33 |
| Varazir | Staly_Nick: but I don't know the solution to your problem | 20:34 |
| Staly_Nick | Varazir: do U know something else, that have function of "last !seen user"? | 20:35 |
| escott | Varazir, this is probably easier to work with | 20:35 |
| escott | Varazir, ps --no-heading -p `cat /run/lightdm.pid` -o comm | 20:35 |

| sharpK | so ubuntu autofound some nvidia drivers for me, but is not reading a second monitor, is it suggested to install some other drivers for a geforce card? | 20:36 |

| Varazir | Staly_Nick: try google, could be a setting, you could try to use the /help command | 20:38 |
| sskalnik | sharpK, what bekks said | 20:39 |

| bekks | sharpK: NO. | 20:39 |
| sharpK | bekks ? | 20:40 |
| sskalnik | sharpK, I can't recommend that. Did you go to Settings, then nVidia X Server Settings? | 20:40 |

| guntbert | qdk: are you talking about tasksel? | 21:13 |
| Exxon | CharminTheMoose, the paste ..show that something else | 21:13 |
| guntbert | !tasksel | qdk | 21:13 |
| ubottu | qdk: Tasksel is a Debian/Ubuntu tool that installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated "task" onto your system, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel for more information. Use tasksel only to INSTALL tasks, not to remove them. It will remove every package listed within the removed task! see https://launchpad.net/bugs/574287 | 21:13 |

| guntbert | qdk: you're welcome :-) ... and be careful, read what I sent you ^^^ | 21:14 |
| wendico | Exxon, i cant paste, im offline in the affected computer since i cannot make wifis to work, my router is to far, nevertheless with lsusb -v i can see my adapter with much data (some not correct) | 21:14 |
| qdk | guntbert: Yeah, i know the pacakges system... I just never use the tasksel for anything, but its more noob friendly, so I can use it in my guides. | 21:15 |
| newbridge | hi there could someone explain me how to add x11vnc to the autostart | 21:15 |
| newbridge | sry disconnect, thats why i repeated my question. | 21:15 |
| Exxon | wendico, it has nothing to do with you router just paste the output | 21:16 |
| guntbert | qdk: it is fine for installing - but dangerous otherwise | 21:16 |

| wendico | cant i donwload the driver? | 21:19 |
| esben | But I can try to use some of the stuff it can do | 21:19 |
| Kimble | what does it suggest you do to reduce power? | 21:19 |
| gribouille | when I do sudo apt-get update, I get the following error message : "http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found" | 21:19 |
| mattgyver | gribouille, either its a bad ppa or its currently down | 21:20 |
| mattgyver | gribouille, to get around it go to your Software sources and remove that, or you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:20 |
| gribouille | mattgyver, http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/dists/ doesn't have an entry for oneiric | 21:21 |
| Exxon | CharminTheMoose, no ; what ever the content you simply can save it ..there is no glitch stuff | 21:21 |
| esben | I set all the tuneable to Good | 21:21 |
| esben | lets see :p | 21:22 |
| newbridge | thanks mattgyver, but it seems as it doesnt work anymore in 11.10 :( | 21:22 |
| mattgyver | newbridge, :( sorry to hear that man | 21:22 |
| Kimble | I found that Powertop's tuneables didn't always stick - you may have to implement them manually. | 21:22 |
| newbridge | hmm iam already thinking of simply droping by an script, that i simply activate over ssh-connection to the machine i want to support. | 21:23 |
| newbridge | like | 21:23 |
| gribouille | when I try to start gtk applications like gvim or audacity, I get the following error message : "ERROR:accessible.c:556:spi_accessible_construct: assertion failed" | 21:23 |
| mattgyver | gribouille, not really sure but the repo is timing out so its preventing you from updating your sources. If there is no oneiric then its elsewhere or in ubuntus partner repo but thats just a guess on my part | 21:23 |
| wendico | how to install new wifi card? | 21:23 |
| mattgyver | wendico, a pretty loaded question which requires more information such as make/model. Some are supported out of the box so maybe you can just plug and play. | 21:24 |
| EvilResistance | wendico, go into SYstem > Administration > Hardware Drivers (i think that's what it is) | 21:24 |

| === Izmael is now known as Timewarper | ||

| wendico | only graphic drivers in Hardware Drivers* ^^ evilresistance | 21:30 |
| mattgyver | wendico, I have no idea if it will work cuz its a kinda old way of going about things, but you could maybe look into using ndiswrapper. In the day it was used to basically wrap windows drivers for wireless cards, im poking around though. | 21:31 |
| mattgyver | wendico, likely there is an easier way though but it was just a thought | 21:31 |

| esben | gzy: maybe try to switch to a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) then: DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace and switch back to the installer (Ctrl+Alt+F7) | 21:37 |

| escott | chz|bacon, /dev/sda or /dev/sdb is where you should be installing it. and you should have /boot mounted at the time. so what error message is it giving you | 22:18 |
| === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler | ||
| escott | bf4648, no | 22:18 |
| jmoiron | bazhang: thanks but that does not answer my question | 22:18 |
| jmoiron | i know karmic is eol but i can't dist-upgrade this machine | 22:19 |
| bazhang | jmoiron, its end of life, so there are none | 22:19 |
| bf4648 | why not escott? | 22:19 |
| MonkeyDust | jmoiron start here http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 22:19 |
| bazhang | jmoiron, just to upgrade is all | 22:19 |
| escott | bf4648, would you want to use an os the logged passwords?! | 22:19 |
| jmoiron | MonkeyDust: that seems to be just images | 22:20 |
| bf4648 | nope | 22:20 |
| bf4648 | but is there a way? | 22:20 |
| escott | bf4648, no there is not. dont forget your passwords. use authorized_keys if you are prone to forgetting passwords | 22:20 |
| escott | bf4648, you should really be using authorized keys anyways | 22:20 |
| afidegnum | hello, do I need to be in a root mode before running the configuration editor ? | 22:21 |
| bf4648 | true but I didn't set up the ssh connection...it requires a password | 22:21 |
| afidegnum | I typed gcong-editor but nothing is launched. what od I do ? | 22:21 |
| auronandace | !root | afidegnum | 22:21 |
| ubottu | afidegnum: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:21 |
| ubernoob | anyone here using GNOME 3? do you know why aliases defined for terminal, within Unity, don't work within Terminal in Gnome? even though it's the same user/machine etc? does it save a separate profile? | 22:21 |

| chz|bacon | escott: not sure how i can exactly paste the output it's on a different machine | 22:23 |

| BadCodSmell | How do I get a shell from tru ubuntu? | 22:25 |
| ubernoob | escott, never really thought of it like that. I just assumed that the aliases I define in bash were stored in profiles somewhere | 22:25 |
| bazhang | what is tru ubuntu BadCodSmell | 22:25 |
| ViaNocturna | BadCodSmell, do you mean the terminal? | 22:26 |
| BadCodSmell | yes the term, try ubuntu | 22:26 |
| ubernoob | like browser favourites. | 22:26 |
| ViaNocturna | BadCodSmell, just so im right, you want to open a terminal? | 22:27 |
| BadCodSmell | Yes | 22:27 |
| BadCodSmell | apparently it's installed | 22:27 |
| BadCodSmell | But the menu is fisherprice TM | 22:28 |
| ViaNocturna | BadCodSmell, if you have 11.10 you hit the Windows Key, and type terminal and click on the icon | 22:28 |
| escott | ubernoob, they are saved in dconf which is where desktop settings are saved | 22:28 |
| chz|bacon | BadCodSmell: ctrl+alt+t | 22:29 |
| chz|bacon | or what ViaNocturna said | 22:29 |
| BadCodSmell | I don't want to do that, it looks like it will just select trash | 22:29 |
| BadCodSmell | ctrlaltt works thanks | 22:30 |
| chz|bacon | np | 22:30 |
| escott | chz|bacon, the other approach would be to try and install grub to /dev/sda but tell it to use /dev/sda1 as the boot partition (ie remount the underyling device) in essence splitting the raid | 22:30 |

| escott | chz|bacon, there are some advantages to do that, in that you can setup the mbr on disk1 to boot off of sda1, and the mbr on disk 2 to boot off of sdb1, and then mirror the boot partition | 22:31 |
| chz|bacon | also i'd like to have grub2 on both disks so if one fails the other will still boot | 22:31 |

| santonio | Hi, I've recently sent in my Thinkpad for repairs and got it back (I kept the hard drive so that I wouldn't lose the data on it). But now, when I try to log in, it wouldn't let me. When I tried accessing my home directory through a liveCD, I only see Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop and a README.txt telling me to run ecryptfs-mount-private | 22:43 |
| santonio | I've looked up the issue online and many of the first few results said that I should add something about tmpfs to /etc/fstab but that didn't help any | 22:43 |
| santonio | I have no idea what's wrong and how to fix it and I was hoping somebody could help me get access to my data back | 22:44 |
| santonio | This is on Ubuntu 10.04 | 22:44 |
| === alberto is now known as QuestionMark | ||
| ViaNocturna | santonio, here is a tutorial on it, although its a few versions old it should still be relevant https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 22:45 |
| santonio | In case it matters, when I originally installed Ubuntu 10.04, I didn't check off any /home encryption options so this whole ecryptfs issue is a complete surprise to me | 22:45 |
| santonio | It's not just the .Private directory within my home but my whole home directory | 22:45 |
| santonio | And I just tried the instructions on that page so it didn't do me any good | 22:46 |
| santonio | All it did was mount a directory containing the two files I listed | 22:46 |
| santonio | I can't even log into my accounts so I'm doing this from a liveCD | 22:46 |
| santonio | environment | 22:46 |
| ViaNocturna | santonio, let me see what i can find | 22:48 |
| ViaNocturna | santonio, is this any use at all?: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html | 22:49 |
| escott | santonio, did you read the README? and follow the instructions there about running the mount-private command | 22:49 |
| santonio | I did. All it did was give me a directory containing the two aforementioned files | 22:49 |
| bennygtr34 | anyone know how to install songbird onto fedora? I know this is a ubuntu site but cant seem to join fedora chat | 22:49 |
| santonio | And all these tutorials keep saying that it's for recovering my ~/Private directory, not my whole home | 22:50 |
| santonio | Does it matter? | 22:50 |
| escott | santonio, its the same in principle. for the entire home the ~/.Private is loop mounted back on top of /home/username | 22:50 |
| santonio | I guess I'll download the 11.04 ISO to try VN's link | 22:51 |
| santonio | Actually | 22:55 |
| Exxon | bennygtr34, i don't use fedora.. http://fedoraunity.org/Members/realz/how-to-install-songbird-on-fedora | 22:55 |
| santonio | I just tried the directions at EncryptedPrivateDirectory again | 22:55 |
| santonio | Because the first time around, I didn't mount with the .Private directory as the first directory argument | 22:55 |

| ViaNocturna | diego, let me have a look, i know the answer, just a minute | 23:28 |
| blz | *read | 23:28 |
| QuackQuacker | CaptAnon im not sure if its on Ubuntu | 23:28 |
| benbloom | so i broke the cardinal rule of "if it aint broke don't fix it" and installed nvidia drivers for my multiple display desktop (it was working fine before btw) immediately lost all the nice desktop effects (transparency etc) and then when i uninstalled the drivers the problem persists. help! transparency is crucial to my configuration | 23:28 |
| QuackQuacker | Usage: pkill [-SIGNAL] [-fvx] [-n|-o] [-P PPIDLIST] [-g PGRPLIST] [-s SIDLIST] | 23:28 |
| QuackQuacker | [-u EUIDLIST] [-U UIDLIST] [-G GIDLIST] [-t TERMLIST] [PATTERN] | 23:28 |
| QuackQuacker | try pkill in your terminal | 23:28 |
| CaptAnon | I just tried it, It did not work | 23:29 |
| Dr_Azil | The problem is the file isn't a disc image | 23:29 |
| escott | santonio, well you could scp the ciphertext and as long as you get the wrapped passphrase file you should be ok, but why don't we just try and fix the "i can't login" issue instead of fighting ecryptfs | 23:29 |
| Dr_Azil | I downloaded from the Ubuntu site. How do I have the file turned into a disc image? | 23:29 |
| escott | benbloom, remove your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf | 23:29 |
| santonio | escott: How do you propose I do that? I can't log into any accounts which is why I'm on a LiveCD | 23:29 |
| Exxon | Dr_Azil, did you use ftp, torrent | 23:29 |
| Dr_Azil | I just used my browser | 23:30 |
| bcuraboy | good evening | 23:30 |
| escott | santonio, can you be more specific about not being able to login. you cannot login to the gui? or to a terminal? | 23:30 |
| benbloom | escott: do i have to restart the computer? or just kdm aftrer that? | 23:30 |
| escott | benbloom, kdm should be enough | 23:30 |
| santonio | escott: Either. I type in the account name, tried all possible passwords, and can't log in | 23:30 |
| CaptAnon | ok I got it, I put "kill -9 PID" | 23:30 |
| bcuraboy | tell me something.if i'm using gnome-shell 3.2 why can't i install extensions for it? | 23:30 |
| Exxon | Dr_Azil, never use the brower..it can be minipulated with the isp | 23:30 |
| robin0800 | Dr_Azil: what's its extension? | 23:30 |
| QuackQuacker | CaptAnon good job | 23:30 |
| Dr_Azil | Extension? | 23:30 |
| santonio | Can't log in through the default GNOME interface, or one of the available TTYs | 23:30 |
| QuackQuacker | have a nice day | 23:31 |
| bcuraboy | yes,extensions | 23:31 |
| escott | santonio, what message do you get? | 23:31 |
| QuackQuacker | .!.\shutdown | 23:31 |
| santonio | Just authentication failed in GNOME, the TTYs gave me something about missing keys w.r.t. ecryptfs | 23:31 |
| Exxon | Dr_Azil, you need the ftp.. | 23:31 |
| santonio | Googling the error message is what led me to the fstab editing thing | 23:31 |
| santonio | But add the tmpfs mounting line to the top of the fstab file didn't do anything | 23:32 |
| escott | santonio, well that would be problematic. if the base install system cant unwrap the keyfile we definitely arent going to be able to unwrap from the livecd | 23:32 |
| robin0800 | Dr_Azil: what's its extension *.iso it should be | 23:32 |
| CaptAnon | Thanks QuackQuacker | 23:32 |
| escott | did you backup the unwrapped passphrase | 23:32 |
| santonio | escott: ? | 23:33 |
| bcuraboy | anyone?? | 23:33 |
| santonio | Unwrapped passphrases being...? | 23:33 |
| magpii | i need help, my sound has just decided to stop working, can someone tell me how i create a log file? | 23:33 |
| Dr_Azil | This is taking an awful lot more effort than when I last installed Ubuntu | 23:33 |
| escott | santonio, ecryptfs uses a long key to encrypt (longer than you can type), your password only unwraps (unencypts) a file that contains the keyfile. so its a log to a safe that has the key to the door | 23:34 |
| Exxon | Dr_Azil, you need the ftp server of ubuntu i will also give you that | 23:34 |
| CaptAnon | So Dr_Azil How is the burning the disc going? | 23:34 |
| santonio | And where would I find it? In the /media/disk/home/.ecryptfs directory? | 23:34 |
| santonio | Because when I installed Ubuntu, I purposely chose not to encrypt anything and let the installer run its course so I didn't get any mount passphrases from it or whatnot | 23:35 |
| Dr_Azil | What I downloaded from the Ubuntu site isn't a disc image | 23:35 |
| Dr_Azil | Is there a way I can turn it into one? | 23:35 |
| shahid_ | what have u downloaded Dr_Azil ? | 23:36 |
| Exxon | Dr_Azil, what ubuntu distro are you trying to download | 23:36 |
| escott | santonio, evidently something has gone wrong in that process, and your $HOME cannot be decrypted because keys are missing. when you installed it should have asked you to copy the file/write it down somewhere safe | 23:36 |
| robin0800 | Dr_Azil: don't think so | 23:36 |
| santonio | =/ | 23:36 |
| santonio | I really don't want to lose all my data | 23:36 |
| shahid_ | <Dr_Azil> you need to download the .ISO File | 23:37 |
| Exxon | magpii, alsamixer | 23:37 |
| Dr_Azil | No idea how to tell all that, but I got it from here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 23:37 |
| escott | santonio, you can try some variant of ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase /home/username/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase | 23:37 |
| escott | santonio, so start looking for that wrapped-passphrase file | 23:38 |
| Dr_Azil | I just selected ubuntu 10.10 64bit and clicked download | 23:38 |
| Dr_Azil | The finished download was zipped. I unzipped it and it gave me all the files. | 23:38 |
| santonio | I have the wrapped-passphrase file | 23:38 |
| santonio | You asked for the unwrapped-passphrase file | 23:38 |
| CaptAnon | ok Dr_Azil first off don't use 64bit | 23:38 |
| escott | santonio, you need to unwrap that wrapped passphrase file. that will provide the encyption key which can be used to mount the rest | 23:39 |
| CaptAnon | I could not get it working ether same problem you are describing | 23:39 |
| Dr_Azil | I have a 64 bit machine | 23:39 |
| CaptAnon | Me too | 23:39 |
| Dr_Azil | I've installed this same thing onto this same computer once before though | 23:39 |
| robin0800 | Dr_Azil: you don't need to unzip an iso file | 23:39 |
| Dr_Azil | And then it worked fine | 23:39 |
| Dr_Azil | Oh :o | 23:39 |
| Exxon | Dr_Azil,don't unzip it iso image burn to cd , and simply boot it | 23:39 |
| shahid_ | burn it using brasero as an image file | 23:40 |
| Exxon | shahid_, i simply use k3b i don't trust brasero | 23:41 |
| magpii | how do i get alsamixer? | 23:41 |
| escott | santonio, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome gives more info specific to the encrypted home. your keyring is in /home/.ecryptfs and your data is in $HOME/.Private according to this | 23:41 |
| ViaNocturna | magpii, open a terminal and type alsamixer | 23:41 |
| shahid_ | Exxon k3b is a great app, but i've never had any probs using brasero on a low speed burn at perhaps 4 x | 23:42 |
| magpii | ok, i got that up, now what? | 23:42 |
| santonio | I can't seem to unwrap it | 23:42 |
| santonio | I don't know why | 23:42 |
| Tetracomm | Hello. | 23:42 |
| Exxon | shahid_, no regrets.. :)) | 23:42 |
| santonio | I tried all my passphrase combinations =/ | 23:42 |
| Dr_Azil | OH! :D | 23:42 |
| Dr_Azil | My cigarettes have arrived. Be right back | 23:42 |
| escott | santonio, if you cannot unwrap then your data is lost | 23:42 |
| ViaNocturna | magpii, how do the controls look? | 23:43 |
| santonio | =/ | 23:43 |
| Tetracomm | Is anyone aware of the problem that causes sound to turn off when you mute it and you can't turn it back on when I try to unmute it? | 23:43 |
| santonio | escott: Do you know why I can't log in to begin with? | 23:43 |
| sn00p | HOw can I change my video driver in ubuntu? | 23:43 |
| sn00p | is that a gui for it? | 23:43 |
| Tetracomm | I need sound back | 23:43 |
| Tetracomm | . | 23:43 |
| escott | santonio, you can backup what you currently have just make sure to backup everything under /home including that .ecryptfs folder. maybe the correct passphrase for your wrapped-passphrase will come to you later | 23:43 |
| CaptAnon | I don't know if you can change drivers but there is a gui for putting it on | 23:44 |
| ViaNocturna | Tetracomm, no, it doesnt come back after a restart either? | 23:44 |
| escott | santonio, perhaps its just a really unlucky disk corruption? | 23:44 |
| magpii | master front is showing green white and red full bar, same with headphone pcm and front, front mic is empty as well as mic | 23:44 |
| Exxon | sn00p, before you change some thing in the xorg please back up the xorg.. | 23:44 |
| santonio | escott: I seriously hope that's not the case | 23:44 |
| santonio | I really really need this data | 23:45 |
| ViaNocturna | magpii, did this occur after muting aswell? | 23:45 |
| santonio | It has all my assignments and such on it =/ | 23:45 |
| Tetracomm | ViaNocturna: No, it doesn't. | 23:45 |
| sn00p | Exxon, right now i'm only working at 800x600 but when I change 1024Xsomething 4:3 it doesn't like it and monitor keeps blanking | 23:45 |
| CaptAnon | sn00p, use the program additional drivers | 23:45 |
| sn00p | CaptAnon, where do I find them at | 23:45 |
| CaptAnon | do you have gnome do? | 23:46 |
| CaptAnon | or unity | 23:46 |
| sn00p | gnome | 23:46 |
| sn00p | ubuntu 11.10 | 23:46 |
| Exxon | sn00p, CaptAnon is right..follow the instructions.. | 23:46 |
| CaptAnon | just type it into gnome do | 23:46 |
| Tetracomm | This is Ubuntu 11.10 | 23:46 |
| magpii | there is no volume control on the panel, when i try opening sound in preferences, it gives a message "waiting for sound system to respond", and does nothing, i cannot use the fn keys to raise lower or mute sound either | 23:46 |
| escott | santonio, since your issue is only with the ability to login and not with the actual install, you can chroot in and create a new user | 23:47 |
| santonio | How do I do that? | 23:47 |
| escott | santonio, and that way leave your current system untouched | 23:47 |
| escott | santonio, in the livecd sudo -i | 23:47 |
| ViaNocturna | Tetracomm, and magpii, can you try this link? http://dharmendralinuxdiary.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-sound-problem.html | 23:47 |
| escott | santonio, then chroot /media/disk /bin/bash | 23:47 |
| magpii | I have been to here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting and gone through all the steps and still nothing, even though my sound card is clearly there | 23:48 |
| CaptAnon | How is it going for you sn00p ? | 23:48 |
| ViaNocturna | magpii, well the link i sent seems to be in response to a few people encountering sound issues on Ubuntu 11.10 | 23:48 |
| magpii | i will try the steps in your link, brb | 23:49 |
| sn00p | CaptAnon, what do mean type it into gnome? | 23:49 |
| _katja_ | Q. why does it take over a second to cat something from /proc/acpi/battery ? | 23:49 |
| CaptAnon | There is a program called gnome do | 23:49 |
| gzy | Have a funny situation. I have a partition with the ubuntu installer and apart from that some garbage on the disk. i almost installed grub, so i'm getting a grub rescue prompt | 23:49 |
| CaptAnon | I find its the easyest wayt to find things. | 23:49 |
| gzy | can i make it boot the ubuntu installer image? | 23:49 |
| Exxon | magpii, lspci -v paste the output to paste bin | 23:49 |
| trinimoses | HELP !!!!!!!! | 23:49 |
| sn00p | what does that have to do with my drivers | 23:49 |
| trinimoses | my ubuntu box i shutdown to do some work on the ups | 23:50 |
| trinimoses | and now my netconnection is not working | 23:50 |
| santonio | escott: Now just run useradd? | 23:50 |
| Exxon | _katja_, that's normal | 23:50 |
| escott | santonio, you probably want to use adduser, not familiar with its invocation, was trying to look it up. make sure this user is in the admin group | 23:51 |
| _katja_ | Exxon: i figure that, i'm just wondering what the underlying reason is | 23:51 |
| escott | santonio, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/2 | 23:51 |
| magpii | exxon- which output? | 23:51 |
| colloquialismic | herro fellow fanbois | 23:51 |
| santonio | escott: Will I be able to access my home directory from the new admin account then? | 23:51 |
| _katja_ | Exxon: cat'ing from the ac_adapter takes around 4ms like anything else | 23:51 |
| escott | santonio, although that tells you the old way | 23:51 |
| escott | santonio, no | 23:51 |
| trinimoses | k.. i hve check my /etc/network/interfaces and the settings seem right.. | 23:52 |
| trinimoses | even check the resolv.conf and they all seem right | 23:52 |
| Exxon | _katja_, i rally hate giving bad news to people ..my nature.. | 23:52 |
| santonio | This is exactly why I didn't want home encryption =_= | 23:52 |
| colloquialismic | i would like to ask a question. i have recently installed wireshark and all dependencies (sudo aptitude install build-essential automake autoconf libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libpcap0.8-dev flex bison) on ubuntu 10.04. i have selected "list the available capture interfaces." however, there are 0 listed interfaces. odd, | 23:53 |
| ViaNocturna | colloquialismic, are you running it with sudo? | 23:53 |
| colloquialismic | yes | 23:53 |
| colloquialismic | wait.... | 23:53 |
| colloquialismic | how do i run an application as root? | 23:53 |
| ViaNocturna | sudo <name of app> | 23:53 |
| magpii | ok, here is the output for lspci -v http://codepad.org/f6NE7Ulb | 23:53 |
| Exxon | colloquialismic, sudo -s | 23:54 |
| santonio | I think I'll go cry in a corner now | 23:54 |
| colloquialismic | ok | 23:54 |
| santonio | Thanks anyways escott | 23:54 |
| colloquialismic | there we go :) | 23:54 |
| _katja_ | Exxon: it's really not bad news at all, just curious. :) Somewhere along the line is ACPI interfacing with some onboard device that has to take readings and average them over nearly a second or? | 23:54 |
| colloquialismic | i'm silly ha | 23:54 |
| ViaNocturna | i thought wireshark was in the repos? | 23:54 |
| colloquialismic | thank you Exxon and ViaNocturna | 23:54 |
| colloquialismic | it is... | 23:54 |
| colloquialismic | which is why i found this weird | 23:54 |
| escott | santonio, sorry. goodluck, and develop a backup plan. if the encryption doesn't bit you a disk failure will | 23:55 |
| Exxon | _katja_, so what the conclusion.. | 23:55 |
| santonio | escott: Can't I just reset the password of my account and try to log in that way? | 23:55 |
| escott | santonio, no because the new password wont be in the keyring for the ecryptfs partition | 23:55 |
| diego | Hi, i cant change my Ubuntu 11.10 brightness. Can anyone help? | 23:56 |
| ViaNocturna | diego, did it not work? | 23:56 |
| simon__ | got to go | 23:56 |
| _katja_ | Exxon: i think the conclusion is that i want to go read some more about how ACPI works :) | 23:56 |
| chz|bacon | diego: which laptop do you have? | 23:57 |
| magpii | @ViaNocturna I have run the command in the link you gave, I now have sound through my earphone outlet, but the volume control isnt working, and the fn volume on my keyboard only shows the gui volume control working but makes no difference to the sound volume lol | 23:57 |
| _katja_ | thanks :) | 23:57 |
| Exxon | diego, http://wilmor24.wordpress.com/2010/05/11/change-screen-brightness-from-terminal-ubuntu-10-04/ | 23:57 |
| gbear14275 | If I install the chrome.deb package from the chrome site... will it automatically upgrade with new releases (aka, does install repository info?) | 23:58 |
| xangua | gbear14275: yes | 23:58 |
| gbear14275 | xangua, thanks | 23:58 |
| escott | gbear14275, no use chromium-browser | 23:58 |
| chz|bacon | yeah gbear14275 | 23:58 |
| xangua | gbear14275: it adds google's deb repository | 23:58 |
| rubyplusplus | I have sometimes had to run sudo apt-get -f install after installing chrome | 23:58 |
| sharpK | is it a bad idea to install new drivers (linux) from nvidia for your card? | 23:58 |
| ViaNocturna | magpii, right ok, give me one moment | 23:59 |
| xangua | gbear14275: there is also chromium browser, it's opensource and is already on the ubuntu repository | 23:59 |
| rubyplusplus | Why chromium instead of chrome? | 23:59 |
| gbear14275 | escott, I'm running into a problem with an unclickable flash settings window... haven't been able to resolve so looking for either a better qa'ed version or something newer. Was going to install the -dev ppa for chromium and then use chrome when I need something more stable | 23:59 |
| Exxon | gbear14275, did yo check for ubuntu rep.. | 23:59 |
| colloquialismic | does anyone know of an easy way to setup an irc bouncer? | 23:59 |
| almoxarife | sharpK: no, done right | 23:59 |
| colloquialismic | thru ubuntu | 23:59 |
