| wishfoot | I don't think so crazytrane lemme double check | 01:05 |
| crazytrane | if the bios doesn't see the drive, no OS will either obviously | 01:05 |
| slgma | how do i set mutter as my default window manager | 01:05 |
| j_dulaney | What channel does Ubuntu's QA team meet on? | 01:06 |
| wishfoot | right, that makes sense. There's a hard drive option in the boot priority list but not on the select boot device list | 01:07 |
| mrpink57 | slgma: you should be able to change your enviroment before you login | 01:07 |
| wishfoot | I'm gonna go with no, crazytrane | 01:07 |
| slgma | no not the desktop environemnt | 01:07 |
| slgma | the window manager | 01:07 |
| slgma | like emerald/gtk-window-decorator/metacity | 01:07 |
| OerHeks | !emerald | 01:08 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 01:08 |
| slgma | im not asking about emerald, OerHeks | 01:08 |
| slgma | im asking about mutter, which is an alternative to compiz/unity | 01:09 |
| crazytrane | wishfoot, it may be an issue with the drive. try it in another machine? | 01:09 |
| wishfoot | try the drive in another machine? You mean like physically remove the drive and install it in another computer? | 01:10 |

| Liner | I require some help, I have been running this problem for DAYS now. | 01:11 |
| mrpink57 | slgma: I still think you change it the same way, it's just a session to have mutter with gnome. | 01:11 |
| mrpink57 | slgma: I am not too familiar with mutter however. | 01:11 |
| slgma | no it doesnt work like that | 01:11 |
| Liner | My Windows computer turns on with the Intel Logo and Sony logo, | 01:11 |
| slgma | i run gnome classic, and its not a desktop environemnt | 01:11 |
| Liner | and turns off. | 01:11 |
| slgma | mutter isnt i mean | 01:11 |
| Liner | I'm trying to get Ubuntu on it so it turns on. | 01:12 |
| slgma | its just a window manager | 01:12 |
| chewyboy000 | Hi can someone help me? | 01:12 |
| Liner | So anyone know how I can resolve this problem? | 01:12 |
| wishfoot | ok... I'm not sure I have the background to do so, crazytrane. Do you have any other ideas that I could try short of opening the computer up? If not, thanks very much anyway. *this reply _not_ intended to be sarcastic/smarmy* | 01:13 |
| chewyboy000 | Can someone help me PLEEEESE! | 01:13 |
| wishfoot | just ask the question, chewyboy000 | 01:13 |
| Liner | Ok I have a problemt oo. | 01:14 |
| Liner | I try to turn on my computer, | 01:14 |
| crazytrane | slgma, can you specify the window manager in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session? | 01:14 |
| Liner | and it loads Intel Logo, | 01:14 |
| Liner | and the Sony logo | 01:14 |
| mrpink57 | slgma: try in cli mutter --replace | 01:14 |
| Liner | and I pop in my Ubuntu disk | 01:14 |
| crazytrane | the line DefaultProvider-windowmanager=gnome-wm | 01:14 |
| Liner | nothing happens. | 01:14 |
| Liner | I try again, nothing happens. | 01:14 |
| slgma | i know how to do that mrpink57 | 01:14 |
| Liner | blank screen | 01:15 |
| Liner | Black one. | 01:15 |
| slgma | that doesnt set it as default when i login | 01:15 |
| Liner | mrpink | 01:15 |
| slgma | ill try crazytrane | 01:15 |
| wishfoot | ok, Liner, this is astonishingly maybe a simple enough problem that I could actually help you with it | 01:15 |
| Liner | Can you help me? | 01:15 |
| Liner | Yay wish! | 01:15 |
| chewyboy000 | Okay so I am using Wubi right and then I upgrade to 11.04 but when ever I restart it after installing it turns to GNOME CLASSIC theme and I can't get it to the regular theme | 01:15 |
| Liner | Now what is the root of the problem, I am curious. | 01:15 |
| crazytrane | wishfoot, that's the only way i know of to narrow down the problem. If it a problem with the machine or the drive. | 01:16 |
| wishfoot | I hope so anyway. what's the make and model of your computer? | 01:16 |
| wishfoot | Okay, thanks crazytrane! | 01:16 |
| Liner | Its Sony | 01:16 |
| crazytrane | no prob | 01:16 |
| Liner | Very old PC | 01:16 |
| slgma | im gonna try to logout now crazytrane | 01:16 |
| slgma | lets hope it works | 01:16 |
| crazytrane | slgma | 01:16 |
| crazytrane | make sure it is the right session file that you are editing | 01:17 |
| crazytrane | or it won't make a difference lol | 01:17 |
| slgma | yea i know, gnome.classic | 01:17 |
| slgma | for me | 01:17 |
| crazytrane | ok cool | 01:17 |
| wishfoot | what's the name of the line of computers? also, what kind of ubuntu are you trying to install (like, what version and what flavor?) | 01:17 |
| slgma | brb | 01:17 |
| Liner | Ubuntu 11 | 01:17 |
| mrpink57 | slgma: you could also add a script to have it do mutter --replace | 01:17 |
| wishfoot | and the kind of computer? | 01:17 |
| Liner | the name of the line of computers is Sony Vaio | 01:17 |
| Liner | PC | 01:17 |
| chewyboy000 | it goes to clearlooks icons | 01:17 |

| Fezzler | I have old AMD K6-266 that I'm upgrading from Natty to 11.10. I know I need to upgrade PC but need suggestion. | 01:18 |
| slgma | but i have no clue how to do it in 11.10 | 01:18 |
| Fezzler | Use this PC with "slimmer" distro and save it, repurpose it as home cloud, or get new motherboard and salvage parts (harddrives, etc.) | 01:19 |
| wishfoot | ok, so when you start up the computer you see a sony screen and it'll have instructions that tell you to press either f1 or f2 probably, right? | 01:19 |
| Liner | Nope Wishfoot, this is weird. | 01:19 |
| Liner | I never get that anymore, I used to. | 01:19 |
| Liner | Just the Sony screen | 01:20 |
| Liner | and then, black screen. and I'm like -.-, | 01:20 |
| Liner | I try F5 | 01:20 |
| Liner | Doesn't work. | 01:20 |
| mrpink57 | slgma: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox#GNOME_2.26_Redux this might do it for you, probably bad form to link to another OS. | 01:20 |
| wishfoot | huh. can you try starting it up for me now and press f1 while you | 01:20 |
| Liner | Try F1 or F2, doesn't work. | 01:20 |
| wishfoot | 're still on the screen | 01:20 |
| Liner | Still no affect. | 01:20 |
| wishfoot | do you try it while you're still on the sony screen? | 01:20 |
| wishfoot | *effect | 01:20 |

| saigo | when i try to install ubuntu it says no boot loader | 01:25 |
| Liner | Ok | 01:25 |
| saigo | i already have linux mint so i have some grub | 01:25 |
| saigo | can i not just install ubuntu over linux mint? | 01:25 |
| wishfoot | ok... are you doing this with the cd in the drive? | 01:26 |
| saigo | yes | 01:26 |
| BarkingFish | have you set your system up to boot from CD or DVD? | 01:26 |
| saigo | it wont let me install or try ubuntu because it cant find the bootloader | 01:26 |
| saigo | yes | 01:26 |
| wishfoot | also, can you boot into your already installed os normally? | 01:26 |
| saigo | yes, im in linux mint right now. i also have windows 7 pro. | 01:27 |
| saigo | i would like to install ubuntu over linux mint. | 01:27 |
| BarkingFish | saigo: I'd suspect then that your Ubuntu disk may be damaged - is there any way you could download an ISO and burn a fresh copy? | 01:27 |
| wishfoot | saigo I hope you're not talking to me because I've been talking to Liner | 01:28 |
| saigo | my bad wishfoot | 01:28 |
| saigo | barkingfish i just downloaded a fresh ISO. should i try again? | 01:28 |
| BarkingFish | saigo: absolutely. Try burning a fresh disk and have another try | 01:28 |
| BarkingFish | where are you getting the ISO from incidentally? | 01:29 |

| robin0800 | Liner: perhaps delete | 01:30 |
| nevyn | Fezzler: depends how much ram and what de and a whole bunch of other stuff | 01:30 |
| visual1ce | ive been fiddling with keyboard layouts and now my login keyboard layout (i think us international) is different to my default (english international altgr dead keys) - makes logging in annoying - how do i set my login keyboard to the same settings as default? | 01:30 |
| Fezzler | I do have a separate Graphics card and 178mb ram | 01:31 |
| nu1 | hello, I do not know why when I try to press a key more than one time fast, it does not let me do it. For example if I want to delete text, I have to wait like half asec each time I press the backspace key otherwise the page blinks. How can I fix it"? is it in the keyboard setings/ | 01:31 |
| Fezzler | That helps. And HD are 7200 RPM | 01:31 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: I think you could but why not go with a smaller linux something that will give more speed like say Puppy Linux which can be run in ram | 01:32 |
| Fezzler | Goodwill computer I built 3 years ago to learn "what's all this buzz about Linux and Ubuntu" | 01:32 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: they have a version built off of ubuntu, slackware, or debian | 01:32 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Can I use Puppy for light Internet Browsing, network file storage and lite "office" work? | 01:33 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: hell yeah you can | 01:33 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Cool. Writing this down. Any other lite distros to consider? | 01:34 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: I used Slacko puppy for a while (slackware version) it's a great OS. I recommend doing a frugal install and building from there. | 01:34 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: Slatz | 01:34 |
| crazytrane | damn small linux is like 50mb | 01:34 |
| crazytrane | handy to have on an old flash drive | 01:34 |
| mrpink57 | Is dsl still maintained though? | 01:34 |
| mrpink57 | I keep Slax on a old flash drive for just in case | 01:35 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: If you have the time to build you can also built up a blazing fast system with Arch Linux, it only gives you a kernel and a few basic pieces but it can be lean. | 01:36 |
| Fezzler | Can these all (Puppy, Damn, Slatz,Slacko) support multiple user at login? | 01:36 |
| crazytrane | i don't think it is lol | 01:37 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: Yes. Slacko is a version of puppy | 01:37 |
| TreCool92 | Your should try Lubuntu for a build your own distro | 01:37 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: http://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Old+Computers#distrosearch | 01:37 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Well, small enough to run on AMD K6-266 but a little user friendly as family uses for light browsing, wordprocessing, and I essentially use as home network backup box | 01:38 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: Then I would really recommed Puppy, since it all goes into RAM it can be fast on the oldest of computers | 01:39 |
| Fezzler | Which installs easiest? I would essentially be installing over Ubuntu 11.10 , somehow | 01:39 |
| mrpink57 | I use a 1.7ghz underclocked to 600mhz on this old laptop and puppy is very fast | 01:39 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: Puppy would be. | 01:39 |

| Fezzler | mrpink57> http://puppylinux.org/main/Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm <---This? | 01:41 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> LOL. Scary. We were doing the same thing | 01:41 |
| HQRaja | How do I disable the guest account on 11.10? | 01:41 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> one last Q. So will I beable to install "over" Ubuntu 11.10 with what? Online or ISO disk image, etc. | 01:42 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: Yes. When you start the installer for puppy you will delete the old partition through gparted. you can keep it simple with a main partition but I would recommend putting a swap partition double your ram. | 01:43 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: it comes preloaded with most everything you need | 01:43 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> reading, sounds like I want "frugal" install that installs to harddrive | 01:44 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: Yes. It's also easier to do updates with if needed. | 01:44 |
| saigo | i guess my question is did linux mint do something with grub that i need to undo or change in order to install ubuntu?? | 01:45 |
| almoxarife | HQRaja: depends on the greeter you are using, gdm or lightdm? | 01:45 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> I have a tricky install of Ubuntu. The system is on a 60 gig HD and the "home\" is mapped/mounted to a 200gig for safety reasomns. | 01:45 |
| HQRaja | almoxarife: The default that ships with 11.10 | 01:45 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> I can do that with puppy? | 01:45 |

| ubottu | Package lghtdm does not exist in oneiric | 01:45 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: you set it all up through gparted, I have never used a mapped drive so I cannot answer that I would go to their IRC channel #puppylinux and ask | 01:46 |
| almoxarife | !info lgihtdm | 01:46 |

| ellogovern | hallo im having trouble having loading a rom on my phone | 01:46 |
| visual1ce | Hi, the keyboard layout for my login screen is different to the one I have selected after login - how can I change the keyboard layout for login screen? | 01:47 |
| almoxarife | HQRaja: you familiar with package removal? | 01:47 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> $20 that 11.10 brings my AMD k6-266 to its knees in about 20m when upgrade is done | 01:47 |
| HQRaja | almoxarife: By finding the package in Software Center and clicking uninstall? | 01:47 |
| HQRaja | almoxarife: Or by apt-get --remove or something? | 01:48 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: yeah I don't see it going well especailly with gnome installed. I am currently using DWM as my DE/WM and it only uses about 1% of my cpu the rest is Chrome. | 01:48 |
| almoxarife | HQRaja: apt-get would be faster | 01:48 |
| jonex | need to install driver for my wireless ... i have a hp Compaq nx6110 running Ubuntu 11.10 | 01:48 |
| HQRaja | almoxarife: Alright, so which package will I have to remove? I only want to disable guest access without removing anything else. | 01:49 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Looks like I'm getting a Puppy! :) | 01:49 |
| almoxarife | assume you have gdm and remove gdm-guest-session | 01:49 |
| HQRaja | Alright, lemme try that. Would this be correct: sudo apt-get --remove gdm-guest-session ? | 01:49 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Or I'll go to Goodwill and look for a modern box. Pentium 4? That would do trick with 11.10? | 01:49 |
| almoxarife | HQRaja: I have lightdm, so insure removal does not take your desktop with it | 01:49 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: I wouldn't even bother buying another machine personally, there are so many linux's that can run on really old hardware. | 01:50 |
| almoxarife | HQRaja: sudo apt-get remove gdm-guest-session | 01:50 |
| HQRaja | Oh OK | 01:50 |
| HQRaja | Thanks | 01:50 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: I am hoping Puppy makes a BSD fork I think that would be a nice lightweight setup | 01:50 |
| HQRaja | It doesn't sound like it'll remove anything else...just the guest session | 01:50 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> And try to reuse my harddrives? But boy, you can get brand new Win7 box for under $300 and setup a dual boot. That may be way to go. | 01:50 |
| === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ | ||
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Yea, I hear ya, why not try Puppy first. Txs. | 01:51 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: It's your checkbook not mine. I've had this laptop since 2004 now and have been using linux since 2005 on it. It can boot up and load faster then my desktop using Win7 | 01:51 |
| chalcedony | how can i tell ubuntu, command line, which ip to look at for the router? | 01:51 |
| HQRaja | almoxarife: BTW I just did a quick google search and I found 11.10 ships with lightdm by default, so I'm using that. | 01:51 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Remind me, what are you running? | 01:51 |
| almoxarife | HQRaja: then the remove won't work | 01:52 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: I use Arch Linux w/ DWM now I used Puppy when I was too lazy to install Arch. | 01:52 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: I am on a Pentium M 600mhz | 01:52 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Arch tough for non-techie? | 01:52 |
| ubuntu_ | Hello | 01:52 |
| crazytrane | chalcedony: default gateway? | 01:52 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: Has one of the best wiki's | 01:52 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> tough install, that is? | 01:52 |
| chalcedony | crazytrane, i think? | 01:53 |
| HQRaja | almoxarife: Googled...found the solution. =) | 01:53 |
| crazytrane | 'route add default gw ipaddressofgateway' | 01:53 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide | 01:53 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Maybe worth buy dinner and beers for local propellerhead / ponytail to install arch for me | 01:53 |
| chalcedony | crazytrane, thanks :) | 01:53 |
| ubuntu_ | I am trying to install Xubunti 11 on to Dell Optiplex GX 150 | 01:53 |
| eqwd | how do i get the netbios name of the machine im logged in to | 01:53 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: It is pretty easy to install, plus you can learn something from it. | 01:53 |
| ubuntu_ | I am trying to install Xubunti 11 on to Dell Optiplex GX 150, I can boot from the CD fine, but I cannot seem to install the same on to my hard-drive. Appreciate any help | 01:54 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> FYI. 11.10 installing. 2 hours! ETA! LOL | 01:54 |
| HQRaja | 2 hours?! | 01:54 |
| frozenbaby | Heya, not really used to Ubuntu but I'm on 10.04 logged in under user1.. just trying to get some env variables added to /home/user1/.bashrc but they do not seem to be taking when I check env even after re-logging. What could I be doing wrong? | 01:55 |
| HQRaja | Oh it has to be due to the language packs...there's some issue with that. I came across it too, once. | 01:55 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> You are scaring me how much you are in tune. I like learning. So, Puppy or Arch on my list. If I go Arch, I'll back up data of course | 01:55 |
| mrpink57 | I wouldn't even waste the time | 01:55 |
| mrpink57 | with a 2 hour instal | 01:55 |
| HQRaja | IMHO it should *ask* if we even want to install the language packs | 01:55 |
| HQRaja | It's something major overlooked in ubuntu | 01:56 |
| mrpink57 | HQRaja: Can't you hit skip when it starts to dl? | 01:56 |
| mrpink57 | I have installed ubuntu or mint in a long time | 01:56 |
| mrpink57 | haven't | 01:56 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Well, it is underway, so I may as well let it go for kicks | 01:56 |
| atc3030 | hello all | 01:56 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Learning | 01:56 |
| HQRaja | mrpink57: Yeah we can but we get to see the 'skip' button only when we expand that area...which isn't too obvious to many users. | 01:56 |
| mrpink57 | Fezzler: I've just used a lot of different linux's over the years so you pick up a few things. I am actually reading the UNIX Shell Programming book right now. | 01:57 |
| HQRaja | Just one prompt before doing that, just asking the user if they want extra languages installed during installation or not, would make so much more sense. | 01:57 |
| atc3030 | i have an ipod classic 120 gig, i want to sync over 70 gigs of music to it in ubuntu. how can i do that? banshee chokes on it and dies, rhythmbox never starts syncing, and gtkpod willl not work with my organization of music. i would like a terminal solution but any will work | 01:57 |
| mrpink57 | HQRaja: or allowing the choice of specific language packs | 01:57 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Cool. Before I got into computer recording (guitar) I used to read about UNIX Shell Programming and Ruby | 01:58 |
| HQRaja | mrpink57: That'd be ideal, yeah! | 01:58 |
| Jimmy_Kash | Is there a command I can run to delete all files older than todays date? | 01:58 |
| mrpink57 | atc3030: I would look into doing it through command line via cp | 01:58 |
| atc3030 | but then it doesnt show up in the ipod | 01:59 |
| disismyname | YEAH!! MIXAEL HAZE's "Rigid Flow of Life" finally out now!!! | 01:59 |
| disismyname | http://soundcloud.com/mixaelhaze/rigid-flow-of-life | 01:59 |
| mrpink57 | atc3030: what do you mean? it would just copy the files into a directory on your desktop | 01:59 |
| atc3030 | what do you mean? | 01:59 |
| atc3030 | i have over 2000 artists | 01:59 |
| mrpink57 | atc3030: when you plug in the ipod you would just do something like cp /media/ipod/... ~/music | 02:00 |
| l1nr007 | Hi, how can I use wget to download a remote file to particular local folder ? | 02:00 |
| atc3030 | no i want to go from computer onto the ipod | 02:00 |
| mrpink57 | l1nr007: cd into the folder | 02:00 |
| Fezzler | - | 02:01 |
| atc3030 | reverse of what you are thinking | 02:01 |
| mrpink57 | atc3030: then just reverse the command | 02:01 |
| frozenbaby | Heya, not really used to Ubuntu but I'm on 10.04 logged in under user1.. just trying to get some env variables added to /home/user1/.bashrc but they do not seem to be taking when I check env even after re-logging. What could I be doing wrong? | 02:01 |
| idlemind324 | I'm looking for recommendations for what I should use for file sharing on an all Linux network. SSH (SFTP/SCP) or NFS v4 | 02:01 |
| mrpink57 | atc3030: or do it in smaller batches through your music program | 02:01 |
| atc3030 | ill look into it then. i wish i could put ipod linux on it | 02:02 |
| l1nr007 | mrpink57, in fact i'm going to use it in a bash script.. isn't there any other way to do it... like passing a parameter to wget or something | 02:02 |
| mrpink57 | atc3030: I have about 200g of music and it will choke most programs | 02:02 |
| nevyn | idlemind324: do you have common uid/usernames and central authentication? | 02:02 |
| atc3030 | it sux | 02:02 |
| HQRaja | iDevices don't allow direct access to music stored on them through file managers etc. if I recall correctly | 02:02 |
| Fezzler | mrpink57> Thanks again man, headed over to opensourcemusicians | 02:02 |
| mrpink57 | l1nr007: I would check the man page on wget | 02:02 |
| HQRaja | You have to do it through some music management program, unless I'm wrong | 02:02 |
| idlemind324 | nevyn: i'm intending to do ldap (or possibly a product built on ldap like fedora directory service) | 02:02 |
| idlemind324 | nevyn: so yes centralized usernames / uid's | 02:02 |
| mrpink57 | HQRaja: can't you open a ipod like a drive in linux? | 02:03 |
| nevyn | idlemind324: if it's a single authentication zone with common trust between all devices then I'd go nfsv4 or possibly v3 (it's faster) | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | mrpink57: install ifuse | 02:03 |
| mrpink57 | ActionParsnip: that will allow the ipod to be seen as a drive? | 02:03 |
| idlemind324 | nevyn: do you have a good resource for understanding the changes in nfs v4? I know acl's were implemented or at least more directly. do i still need underlying acl's set? like ntfs perms + smb/share perms in windows? | 02:03 |
| HQRaja | mrpink57: Never owned any Apple hardware but as far as I know, you can mount them as drives on Windows (and on other operating systems too) but you get access only to store/retrieve data...the music is kept separately | 02:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mrpink57: afaik, I don't buy apple crud | 02:04 |
| mrpink57 | HQRaja: I understand now. Gee that makes Apple sound very windowsey | 02:04 |

| ActionParsnip | mrpink57: nice | 02:05 |
| HQRaja | I use my Android phone with a 16GB card...all the music I need to carry around is ~3GB...only what I absolutely must have with me. | 02:05 |
| chalcedony | ActionParsnip, *hugs* good to see you :) | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: howdy pardener :) | 02:05 |
| wookienz | hi, wheni try and log out of the cli somtimes i get the "there are stopped jobs" what does this mean and should i correct it before i do actually log out? | 02:05 |
| chalcedony | :) | 02:05 |
| HQRaja | Don't see the point in carrying around tens of GBs of music | 02:05 |
| HQRaja | ActionParsnip: Yup such software can | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | HQRaja: same here, LG Optimus :) | 02:06 |
| Kimble | Anyone running a local ntp server on their network? | 02:06 |
| HQRaja | Optimus is neat | 02:06 |
| mrpink57 | my 200gb of FLAC converted to vorbis is 17gb lol | 02:06 |
| HQRaja | I'm still using an HTC HD2 | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | HQRaja: screen is hard for ircing on, otherwiseits sweet | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | HQRaja: nice | 02:06 |
| HQRaja | Running Android 2.3.7 on it | 02:06 |
| chalcedony | can someone please remind me how to reset the wifi pass? | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | only 2.1 here, its a 256k ROM chip and 2.2 and up are 512K images | 02:07 |
| Kimble | wookienz: It means you started a command in the CLI, then stopped it (ctrl C perhaps), and when you try to quit that shell it warns you you've jobs you stopped earlier, and ifyou quit the shell the processes and their data will be lost. | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: just remove the network in network manager and the pass will be forgotten | 02:07 |
| HQRaja | ActionParsnip: Try MIUI, if it's available for your phone. | 02:07 |
| HQRaja | And you must have meant 256M and not k | 02:08 |
| Fallacy | Is there any way to mark an exception after an asterisk? | 02:08 |
| HQRaja | Isn't Optimus that newer one by LG BTW? 1GHz processor and neat specs etc? | 02:09 |
| Kimble | I've given my ntpd 15 minutes to sync, but still no sync is recorded in syslog. I have 5 server in the conf, my internet is definitely up. Any suggestions? | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | HQRaja: GT540 LG | 02:09 |
| Jimmy_Kash | Is there a command I can run to delete all files older than todays date? | 02:09 |
| Fallacy | Have you checked the rm manual? | 02:10 |
| Jimmy_Kash | nop, thought I would ask here | 02:10 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: i do. anyone with a windows domain controller does | 02:11 |
| HQRaja | ActionParsnip: Oh OK...I just looked it up...yup its got limited internal storage...not enough for big ROMs | 02:11 |
| Kimble | Jimmy_Kash: I think it's polite and expedient to check the manual first for such questions. | 02:11 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: most ppl just sync to an existing ntp server on the web though if it's just workstations on the network | 02:11 |
| Jimmy_Kash | Kimble: Sorry mate I just thought if someone knew they could help. A simple no is okay :) | 02:11 |
| mrpink57 | Jimmy_Kash: I have a feeling a script it going to be needed to do that, and with having the option with just rm could be dangerous. | 02:12 |
| idlemind324 | jimmy_kash it wouldn't be terribly hard. you'll have to pipe the results from find into a rm command | 02:12 |
| Jimmy_Kash | mrpink57: thanks. Yeah I figuired, hence asking here first for peoples feedback | 02:12 |
| idlemind324 | jimmy_kash so either a script or a very clever one liner | 02:12 |
| Fallacy | So... anyone know how to choose all with an asterisk (*) bar something? Like choosing all the files in a folder except cats.txt. | 02:12 |
| HQRaja | Heh rm reminds me of a disaster I once had | 02:12 |
| Kimble | idlemind324: but that's the thing. I've set my laptop to sync with 5 UK servers, but 20 minutes later I'm still not getting a log message indicating sync. | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | HQRaja: runs well, got GOlauncherEX on it, works well | 02:13 |
| mrpink57 | Fallacy: do they have similar names the files you want to delete or see? | 02:13 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: any firewall on the pc/server or firewall blocking ntp traffic? | 02:13 |
| nevyn | idlemind324: not really. sorry. | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Fallacy: ls | grep -v cats.txt will list the files, you can then execute something on those files | 02:13 |
| HQRaja | Years back, when I was an early teenager and had Windows 98 as my main OS, I installed Red Hat on another partition | 02:13 |
| Fallacy | No. I just want to use rsync to back up all the files in a folder except for one folder. | 02:14 |
| HQRaja | After a while, I got tired of it and decided to remove it using rm -rf /* | 02:14 |
| Kimble | idlemind324: not an outgoing firewall, no. Incoming, sure, but it's an outgoing request. | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Fallacy: rsync has a --ignore switch, check the man page | 02:14 |
| mrpink57 | Fallacy: I am lazy so I would probably just move the cats.txt file somewhere else | 02:14 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: do you see the request ever being sent either in the logs or by a packet sniffer? | 02:14 |
| HQRaja | I was thinking it'll be all fine because my windows partition and personal data partitions weer separate but guess what? | 02:14 |
| sealtrip | I found an error in /var/log/auth.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/760006/ after every login. please help if you can? | 02:15 |
| HQRaja | my personal data partition was mounted as /mydata when I did rm -rf /* | 02:15 |
| idlemind324 | jimmy_kash just out of curiosity what files are you looking to delete? files created, modified or accessed after a certain date / time? | 02:15 |
| Kimble | idlemind324: I'm looking at syslog. I get 6 "Listen normally" messages, an ntp_io descriptors mess, and a proto: precision message. That's all. | 02:16 |
| jtokarchuk | HQRaja: Ouch. | 02:16 |
| idlemind324 | kimble if you do a: ntpdate -q | 02:16 |
| idlemind324 | kimble do you get a result or anything? | 02:17 |
| Kimble | Aha, that says, "no servers can be used, exiting." | 02:17 |
| idlemind324 | hmm | 02:17 |
| mrpink57 | Fallacy: could try *[!cats] | 02:18 |
| Kimble | That is odd. ntpd is definitely running. My net is up. The servers were all taken from ntp.org. | 02:19 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: ntpdate -q ntp.ubuntu.com | 02:20 |
| Fallacy | mrpink57: Hm, okay. | 02:21 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: does that give you a date (just want to eliminate any network troubles first) | 02:21 |
| Kimble | I get the following response: 5 Dec 02:21:40 ntpdate[4273]: adjust time server 91.189.94.4 offset -0.001818 sec | 02:22 |
| godofmischief | I screwed up compiz to the point that it was crashing the xserver, so i uninstalled it and resintalled it. Things are fine now execept my option to login with 3d unity no longer exists. Any suggestions on how to fix this? | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | godofmischief: try reinstalling unity package | 02:22 |
| godofmischief | ActionParsnip, sounds good, what's the easiest way to do that? | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | godofmischief: however you feel most comfortable | 02:23 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: so something is up with your /etc/ntp.conf file | 02:23 |
| idlemind324 | or ntpd isn't running | 02:24 |
| Kimble | oh. aha. ok. I'll revert to the original conf file, and restart the server. brb | 02:24 |
| godofmischief | ActionParsnip, lol, that's so helpful it hurts, thanks. | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | godofmischief: sudo apt-get --reinstall install unity is one way, but I use a lot of CLI | 02:26 |
| godofmischief | ActionParsnip, linux doesn't really like n00bish hacking away at thing blindly I thought there might be a preferred method to remedy this that won't cause further issues | 02:26 |
| krispaul | How i do disable the guest account? | 02:26 |
| krispaul | Hello btw | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | godofmischief: its just a package so any way is fine as long as the result is reached | 02:26 |
| godofmischief | ActionParsnip, it tells me the newest version is already installed and in my package manager i only see the 2d panel listed | 02:27 |
| idlemind324 | Jimmy_Kash: you can use find to solve your issue like this: find <directory to search/remove files in> -atime NdaysAgo -type f -delete so to delete all files that were accessed within 2 days in say my test directory under my home I would run this command: find ~/Test -atime 2 -type f -delete | 02:27 |

| Kimble | idlemind324: Hi. I've moved my modified conf file out and replaced it with the unmodified default file. I've restarted ntpd, and run the ntpdate -q command again. It gives much the same response as the last one. :/ | 02:45 |

| idlemind324 | kimble: /etc/init.d/ntpd start or restart? | 02:46 |

| enav | hi how can i edit the groups on the alst ubuntu | 02:47 |
| enav | cant find the option in the config panel | 02:47 |
| Kimble | idlemind324: I don't actually have an /etc/init.d/ntpd - i have init.d/ntp only. but ps aux lists /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 108:116 running under the ntp user right now. | 02:48 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: ahh k it's just ntp wasn't sure off the top of my head | 02:48 |
| Kimble | fair question tho. the tutorial I followed on Ubuntu.com tells you to install package "ntpd", which doesn't exist - just ntp. So you're not alone. Or was something changed recently? | 02:49 |
| mrpink57 | Kimble: I think ntpd is the daemon for ntp | 02:49 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: i'm booting up a test server atm so i can look @ the configs / log entries. you're running 11.10 server? | 02:50 |
| Kimble | idlemind324: yes. Kernel 3.0.0-13 | 02:50 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: k i'll have an 11.10 vm up in a jiffy | 02:50 |
| mrpink57 | Kimble: doing ntpd -q would sync | 02:50 |
| Kimble | cool, thanks :) | 02:50 |
| rodayo | Does anyone know how to clear your entire ARP cache? | 02:51 |
| zoqaeski | How is the content on the Ubuntu ISO organised? I want to dual-boot a USB stick so it has both an Arch Linux and Ubuntu live CD. The Arch one works fine, but I have no idea what to copy to where to get the Ubuntu one working | 02:52 |
| === help is now known as Guest51563 | ||
| rodayo | I've tried a few different methods: ip neigh flush all. But running "arp" still displays a full table except the HWAddress column is all "(incomplete)" | 02:52 |
| Kimble | mrpink57: perhaps it does, but the point is that ntpd is supposed to do all this automatically, but there seems to be an error somewhere. | 02:52 |
| manrique_ | I don't know what had happened exactly, but there is a chat different from this, with different windows and with each private conversation in a separate window. How do i get to that chat? | 02:52 |
| mrpink57 | Kimble: I'm not suggesting anything like that I am just agreeing about it saying to install ntpd which is wrong | 02:53 |
| Kimble | ah, I see. gotcha. You didn't make that clear :) | 02:54 |
| manrique_ | mrpink57 are you talking to manrique_? | 02:54 |

| idlemind324 | w0_ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:55 |

| Anarhist | hello, i have a conundrum with the permissions, i am trying to make a directory non-executable, but its child should still be with +x, http://pastebin.com/SQu5zCuP | 02:55 |
| w0_ | idlemind324: excellent. thank you =) | 02:55 |
| manrique_ | thank's, mrpink57 | 02:55 |
| idlemind324 | anarhist: chmod 666 <directory>; chmod -R +x <directory>/* | 02:56 |
| Anarhist | idlemind324, i thought about it: drwxr-xr-x 2 volodya volodya 4096 2011-12-05 06:49 path2 | 02:57 |
| idlemind324 | kimble: haven't forgotten. vm is installing atm | 02:57 |
| Anarhist | idlemind324, it's already executable | 02:57 |
| manrique_ | could anyone answer how do I get to a special chat where each private conversation is in a separate window and stuff like that? I'm sure I had used it tonight+ | 02:57 |
| Kimble | idlemind324: I'm not rushing you :) Appreciate the assist :) | 02:57 |
| idlemind324 | anarhist the chmod 666 on the directory should alter it to rw-rw-rw- | 02:57 |
| w0_ | idlemind324: wait ... will sudo apt-get update or upgrade well. upgrade my distro? I need to keep it at 1.04 -- ?? | 02:58 |
| w0_ | 10.04 rather | 02:58 |
| idlemind324 | w0_ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade would upgrade your major version | 02:58 |
| mrpink57 | manrique_: that would be a query aka pm so /q personsusername | 02:58 |
| Anarhist | idlemind324, but then i will be unable to change into it | 02:58 |
| w0_ | aha | 02:58 |
| Anarhist | idlemind324, i mean others won't be able to | 02:58 |
| w0_ | idlemind324: thank you | 02:58 |
| idlemind324 | w0_ apt-get update ... updates the list of of updates available, upgrade actually updates those packages | 02:58 |

| the20yrlaptop | Having trouble getting a USB live install to work , just downloaded the ISO and used the tool from windows to save it or whatever, anyways after restarting & booting from USB , ubutnu says it's loading, plays the start music then continues to keep the loading screen , although displaying the mouse pointer which is sluggish | 02:58 |
| mrpink57 | manrique_: you want to talk to one specific person is what I assume you are asking for in a separate window from this? | 02:59 |
| idlemind324 | anarhist you want the directory to have what perms? | 02:59 |
| idlemind324 | anarhist user: rw? group: rw? all: none? | 02:59 |
| Anarhist | idlemind324, i want some user to be able to change into the subdir, but not into the dir | 02:59 |
| manrique_ | yes, and conversations in that channel are quite different | 02:59 |
| mrpink57 | manrique_: may i query you? | 03:00 |
| idlemind324 | anarhist so you want all users to have read then | 03:00 |
| idlemind324 | chmod 664 <directory) | 03:00 |
| manrique_ | yes | 03:00 |
| the20yrlaptop | Any ideas? | 03:00 |
| Anarhist | idlemind324, still "permission denied" | 03:00 |
| Anarhist | q; -(= | 03:00 |
| idlemind324 | the chmod command or the actual cd command? | 03:01 |
| Anarhist | idlemind324, the cd command, the cd into the child dir | 03:01 |
| Anarhist | idlemind324, i'm thinking it's some ubuntu specific protection or something | 03:01 |
| Jordan_U | the20yrlaptop: What version of Ubuntu? How much RAM do you have? | 03:02 |
| the20yrlaptop | 3b of ram , whatever the newest build of ubuntu is | 03:02 |
| idlemind324 | anarhist: i tried it on my pc | 03:02 |
| Anarhist | idlemind324, i just got an answer on #linux | 03:02 |
| idlemind324 | r = perms to get in the directory and list contents | 03:02 |
| the20yrlaptop | I guess the newest version is 11.10 | 03:03 |
| Anarhist | for the benefit of others the answer is that you can't do that properly, because +x is needed to traverse | 03:03 |
| idlemind324 | ahh | 03:04 |
| Jordan_U | the20yrlaptop: Have you verified that the CD burned correctly? You can do so from the boot menu (which you can get to by pressing any key within the first 5 seconds of boot). | 03:04 |
| the20yrlaptop | How do I verify ? I assume you mean the boot screen for ubuntu? | 03:05 |
| mrpink57 | the20yrlaptop: yes from the boot up of the live cd | 03:06 |
| the20yrlaptop | ok, and a menu will come up? | 03:07 |
| the20yrlaptop | Jordan , how do I verify the installation was done right? | 03:10 |

| zizoo | Hey, does anyone know of a good program for Ubuntu that I can use to log what programs I have open and what window is in focus? Or a better channel on which to ask this question? | 03:17 |
| kiencs | alguien habla español? | 03:18 |
| sandyd | MonkeyZazu: gtk-recordmydesktop | 03:18 |
| MonkeyZazu | sandyd, that crashed on me | 03:18 |
| sandyd | MonkeyZazu: qt-recordmydesktop then | 03:18 |
| MonkeyZazu | it made my panels disappear and i had to restart | 03:18 |
| MonkeyZazu | qt-recordmydesktop? | 03:18 |
| MonkeyZazu | is this wat u use? | 03:18 |
| zizoo | (Or, for that matter, if there is a guide to support IRC channels I can look at, if this is not the right place for that question.) | 03:19 |
| sandyd | MonkeyZazu: same, except that it uses QT instad of GTK. | 03:19 |
| jtokarchuk | MonkeyZazu: I think it's listed as just recordmydesktop in the 11.10 software centre | 03:19 |
| jtokarchuk | er, didn't read above, use the qt | 03:19 |
| MonkeyZazu | and the qt will work? | 03:19 |
| MonkeyZazu | let me try, one sec | 03:19 |
| jtokarchuk | there's one way to find out | 03:19 |
| sandyd | MonkeyZazu: If it doesn't, use ffmpeg x11grab | 03:20 |
| jtokarchuk | zizoo: For what use? | 03:20 |

| zizoo | Logging what I use my computer for, so I can improve my own productivity. | 03:21 |
| MonkeyZazu | psychx, you should go to youtube and look up linuxspatry | 03:21 |
| psychx- | ok | 03:21 |
| MonkeyZazu | he said he was going to do a tutorial on that | 03:21 |
| AdminSetup | Hi....Where can I get help of IDJC ? is there Any specific channel ??? | 03:21 |
| Braden` | Hello | 03:21 |
| MonkeyZazu | what is idjc? | 03:21 |
| Braden` | Is it possible to install gnome2? | 03:22 |
| Braden` | The default window manager runs like crap | 03:22 |
| zizoo | As it stands, I slack off a lot, but I don't really know -how much-. I think if I knew, the numbers would shock me into doing something about it, and give me a metric to set goals by. | 03:22 |
| jtokarchuk | Braden`,: Did you try unity2d? | 03:22 |
| zizoo | But spending all the time tracking what I'm doing manually is distracting and time-consuming. | 03:23 |
| Braden` | Oh. How do I install that? | 03:23 |
| MonkeyZazu | you should switch to linux mint 12 | 03:23 |
| MonkeyZazu | it uses mate | 03:23 |
| MonkeyZazu | kinda like gnome2 | 03:23 |
| Braden` | install the apt package and then uninstall unity3d? | 03:23 |
| sandyd | Braden': its selectable at login screen | 03:23 |
| sandyd | * Braden`: its selectable at login screen | 03:24 |
| psychx- | MonkeyZazu: Doesn't look like he's done it yet. | 03:24 |
| Braden` | I don't get the login screen | 03:24 |
| Braden` | I always have to use startx for some reason | 03:24 |
| jtokarchuk | zizoo: that would probably have to be written. Shouldn't be too difficult | 03:24 |
| jtokarchuk | zizoo: think you just gave me an idea for my first ubuntu program | 03:25 |
| MonkeyZazu | psychx, he said he was going to do it, probly a week or so | 03:25 |
| MonkeyZazu | and if he hasn't done it yet, look for other youtubers that have | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyZazu: could switch to xfce, it looks and smells like gnome2 | 03:25 |
| MonkeyZazu | i don't hate xfce, but it is not gnome | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Braden`: Gnome2 is dead | 03:26 |
| zizoo | Haha, what, you want to write it for me? xD... Let me know how it goes, but also, can you tell me what language I would have to work in to write such a program for Ubuntu? Hell, could I make it as a shell script, using the ps command? | 03:26 |
| * jtokarchuk gasps | 03:26 | |
| MonkeyZazu | dead my ass!!!! | 03:26 |
| MonkeyZazu | gnome2 is still living | 03:26 |
| the20yrlaptop | How do I do a file integrity check for a USB drive install? There isn't option like there is for a live CD? | 03:26 |
| MonkeyZazu | red hats uses gnome2 | 03:26 |
| * OerHeks agrees with ActionParsnip | 03:26 | |
| MonkeyZazu | the20yrlaptop: go to terminal and use md5checksum | 03:27 |
| MonkeyZazu | i think | 03:27 |
| MonkeyZazu | or apropos md5 and see what you get | 03:27 |
| the20yrlaptop | Can't get into terminal , or at least I haven't figured out how to | 03:27 |
| zizoo | I'm not -too- familiar with languages other than Java and C at present, but I could learn for something like this. Oh wait though, darn. Window -focus- would be harder than just "ps", wouldn't it? ._.; | 03:27 |
| jtokarchuk | the20yrlaptop, CTRL + ALT + T | 03:27 |
| robin0800 | ! notunity | MonkeyZazu | 03:27 |
| ubottu | MonkeyZazu: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 03:28 |
| the20yrlaptop | What command would I then use? | 03:28 |
| jtokarchuk | zizoo: check pm | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyZazu: the gnome team are not developing Gnome2 any more, Lucid uses it Gnome2 toom, but no bug fixes upstream will happen | 03:28 |
| MonkeyZazu | gnome2 is still being worked with though, it is not dead. I think some arch guys have taking it up and making it into mate or something | 03:29 |

| sprinklz | jtokarchuk: read all the pages for each term listed in teh glossary but cant decide | 03:33 |
| MonkeyZazu | c u guys l8r | 03:33 |

| jtokarchuk | sprinklz, I tend to agree, a queue seems proper | 03:34 |

| psychx- | im doing that now | 03:34 |
| psychx- | just thought someone might know | 03:34 |
| sprinklz | jtokarchuk: yea its just i see the question as how do i say thi.... far removed from programming | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | psychx-: i do know, its just not discussed here | 03:36 |

| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, thank you thank you | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | glitchd_: I have buddies with SFTP servers with gazillions of files dude ;) thanks for the offer though :) | 03:45 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, is actually an all in one lightweight server i found on the net over the last few days | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | glitchd_: wtg man, nice to get the gold :) | 03:45 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, right on | 03:45 |
| glitchd_ | if u like, i could send u a copy of the rar package that contains the server | 03:45 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, or at least point u to where i found it | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | glitchd_: now you gotta secure it or anyone scanning you will see the service and either leech or attck | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | glitchd_: i use SFTP, it inherent in openssh-server :) | 03:46 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, 1 i dont know how, 2 i dont run it all the time | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | glitchd_: could hit the forum and write a how to, share the knowledge | 03:46 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, thats the thing, the only this i had to 2 was forward a port in my router and bam it worked like charm. no other setup of any kind | 03:47 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, the entire server was contained in a rar file | 03:47 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, i jus extracted it, forwarded a port, and it was working | 03:47 |

| Chotaz | Hey guys, is it adviced to have a massive storage rack attached to your ubuntu workstation/homecomputer? | 03:50 |
| jtokarchuk | Chotaz: Come again? | 03:50 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, i know i asked already, but would u like a copy of the .rar that i downloaded with the server in it? | 03:50 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, its small and nice to have | 03:51 |
| Chotaz | jtokarchuk, I want to mount a rig with disks for storage, and I want this rig to be attached to my workstation/home computer, is ubuntu a good Os for it? | 03:51 |
| jtokarchuk | Chotaz, in an array? Ubuntu won't care if it's a hardware array, ubuntu will work just fine. What will it be used for? | 03:51 |
| shadizzle | hello | 03:52 |
| psychx- | Is there a WINE channel? | 03:52 |
| Chotaz | jtokarchuk, I'm an analogic large scale photographer and I need to store my digis somewhere. | 03:52 |
| atdiehm_lappy | neither banshee nor rhythmbox seem to be able to write to my nano, is there a better program to try and get this working with? | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | psychx-: #winehq | 03:52 |
| jtokarchuk | Chotaz, I would probably use a QNAP or some sort of NAS device | 03:53 |
| psychx- | ty | 03:53 |
| xangua | tried gtkpod atdiehm_ ' | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Chotaz: should be fine | 03:53 |
| xangua | ¿ | 03:53 |
| jtokarchuk | Chotaz, but yes, when configured, Ubuntu will be fine | 03:53 |
| glitchd_ | ActionParsnip, how was the speed downloading from my server? | 03:54 |
| atdiehm_lappy | xangua, so is it a known issue then? something about newer ipods that none are syncing with the default apps? | 03:55 |
| psychx- | glitchd_: I'm maxing out at about 109kB/s. | 03:56 |
| xangua | wouldn't know atdiehm_ , i don't use devices that don't want to be used with other than appe's ;) | 03:56 |
| psychx- | glitchd_: But, I can download upwards of 5MB/s or more. (40mbit/s connection) | 03:56 |
| glitchd_ | SEND ActionParsnip c:\users\glitchd\hfs\server backup\hfs.exe | 03:57 |
| glitchd_ | SEND ActionParsnip c:\users\glitchd\hfs\server /backup\hfs.exe | 03:57 |
| glitchd_ | hmm i dont think that worked | 03:58 |
| glitchd_ | psychx-, thats probably because it coming from my laptop, not an actual dedeicated server | 03:58 |
| glitchd_ | psychx-, unless thats a good speed i mean | 03:58 |
| psychx- | glitchd_: Yeah, it is a fine speed. But, most dedicated servers or torrents would be faster - but at least your server seems stable. | 03:59 |
| glitchd_ | psychx-, indeed, and its awesome because the server was self contained in a rar file. i didnt have to set anything up besides forwarding a port for it | 04:00 |
| atdiehm_lappy | xangua, just makes me wonder... I push ubuntu on a lot of people, and I wasn't aware of problems with ipod syncing... which would make me be a little more careful with who I push ubuntu on... | 04:00 |

| === clear is now known as clear` | ||

| glitchd_ | jeFalaO, exe's dont working ubuntu, unless u install wine | 04:26 |
| jeFalaO | i am in wine | 04:26 |
| idlemind324 | 1. you need to find out the path to your exe file | 04:26 |
| glitchd_ | then whats the problem? | 04:26 |
| jeFalaO | mount: only root can mount /dev/sdc | 04:26 |
| jeFalaO | ??????????????? | 04:26 |
| idlemind324 | 2. you need to run wine <path to exe> | 04:27 |
| jeFalaO | what is root | 04:27 |
| idlemind324 | you don't need to mount anything ... it will auto mount the usb for you | 04:27 |
| panshi | jeFalaO:you can download a .exe from internet | 04:27 |
| luis_ | ok Jefala0 | 04:27 |
| idlemind324 | so open terminal type ls /media | 04:27 |
| idlemind324 | with the usb plugged in | 04:27 |
| idlemind324 | tell me what it says | 04:27 |
| jeFalaO | im reading this thing on google it says i need root | 04:28 |
| jeFalaO | says type "su" to get root | 04:28 |
| idlemind324 | either read google or read something from me ... both is only going to confuse you | 04:28 |
| jeFalaO | so i do and it says i cant | 04:28 |
| VIPER-II | hey ActionParnsnip... you.. can we have a talk in private? | 04:28 |

| panshi | do you know? | 04:28 |
| xangua | there is no root password on ubuntu panshi | 04:28 |
| xangua | !root | 04:28 |
| ubottu | 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 | 04:29 |
| Besogon | jeFalaO: use "sudo" | 04:29 |
| Besogon | instead | 04:29 |
| jeFalaO | no | 04:29 |
| jeFalaO | i want root | 04:29 |
| jeFalaO | just tell me how | 04:29 |
| xangua | jeFalaO: you don't | 04:29 |
| glitchd_ | sudo su | 04:29 |
| jeFalaO | listen im not dumb | 04:29 |
| Baktun13-desktop | jeFalaO type sudo -i | 04:29 |
| idlemind324 | glitchd_ you're only confusing him | 04:29 |
| jeFalaO | just tell me how to install root | 04:29 |
| VIPER-II | you can 'create' a new password for root using 'sudo su' or something like that | 04:30 |
| xangua | sounds like you don't know what you want jeFalaO | 04:30 |
| glitchd_ | idlemind324, ok ill shut up then | 04:30 |

| luis_ | my ubuntu is the latest ubuntu 11.10 | 04:32 |
| luis_ | I'm very new in this world. | 04:32 |
| qcjn | hey ! How can i make that compiz works at start up in oneiric ? | 04:32 |
| idlemind324 | is the usb drive plugged in luis? | 04:32 |
| luis_ | yes | 04:32 |
| luis_ | it's my USB flash drive. | 04:33 |
| idlemind324 | ok. if you open your file browser do you see a drive on the left hand side labelled places and you see your flash drive in there? | 04:33 |
| much13 | using the new alpha. where can i toggle on the login screen to use unit 2D? | 04:33 |
| luis_ | no I can't | 04:33 |
| luis_ | some kind of way it's not mount. | 04:34 |
| Besogon | qcjn: compiz works with Unity only. (Gnome-shell don't support it. Install gnome 2 and you will able to run compiz) | 04:34 |
| idlemind324 | luis_ i don't have unity up and running atm so i can't walk through too much with you. the next thing to check would be to look in the /media directory | 04:34 |
| qcjn | Besogon, ok thanks | 04:34 |
| idlemind324 | see if there is a folder there | 04:34 |
| Detergentizer | ??? | 04:35 |

| idlemind324 | jeFalaO if you must no you can obtain a root terminal by typing sudo su - | 04:36 |
| jeFalaO | idlemind324: then how i mount it | 04:36 |
| idlemind324 | jeFalaO but i repeat to accomplish what you're doing you don't need it | 04:36 |
| Detergentizer | hello | 04:37 |
| Detergentizer | ?? | 04:37 |
| BaW | jeFalaO, read up on this about root and sudo commands https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:37 |
| idlemind324 | jeFalaO you need to execute the following command ls /media and tell me what the output | 04:37 |
| qcjn | robin0800, would you know how ? | 04:37 |
| jeFalaO | ls: cannot open directory /media: Permission denied | 04:37 |
| BaW | did u do sudo? | 04:37 |
| qcjn | robin0800, cause now i'm on gnome classic | 04:37 |
| idlemind324 | don't need sudo to run ls /media | 04:38 |
| BaW | really? thought u did | 04:38 |
| idlemind324 | default perms on /media should be 755 | 04:38 |
| luis_ | idlemind324, Do you know some good tutorial to rescue the information I have in my USB Flash Drive? | 04:38 |
| sauvin | media | 04:38 |
| sauvin | Grr. | 04:38 |

| Lucifer_DaGreat | I have raw on mine | 04:42 |
| Detergentizer | hello | 04:42 |
| luis_ | Besogon, I was using it under Windows platforms. | 04:42 |

| jeFalaO | from my ubuntu | 04:43 |
| jtokarchuk | Detergentizer, What do you need? I seen that you downloaded an Nvidia driver. | 04:43 |
| jtokarchuk | jeFalaO, have you searched askubuntu.com and the forums for your printer model? | 04:43 |
| Detergentizer | how to kill xserver so i can install nivida driver | 04:44 |
| _jgr | lool.. | 04:44 |
| Besogon | luis_: It could be NTFS then. If Windows can't read it don't think that there is an easy way to do it by yourself especially with Linux as NTFS is file system that was totaly developed to use with MS products only | 04:44 |
| Lucifer_DaGreat | Detergentizer, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace | 04:44 |
| jeFalaO | yes i cannot find my printer information on ubuntu website | 04:44 |
| VIPER-II | anyone in here has some experience with the software 'fatrat' ? | 04:44 |
| jeFalaO | but how i print to it thin? | 04:44 |
| Detergentizer | tyanks | 04:44 |
| jeFalaO | it just a printer | 04:44 |
| robin0800 | qcjn: edit /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions then edit gnome-classic-session | 04:45 |
| Besogon | jeFalaO: What printer? | 04:45 |
| ruser | quetsion about logrotate in ubuntu, if i manually invoke the logrotate more often than it's scheduled, will the rotation happen only on schedule? | 04:45 |
| jeFalaO | it is a Epson MX-80 | 04:45 |
| jeFalaO | i need driver? | 04:45 |
| Lucifer_DaGreat | I have a question for all of you 'experts', why do you guys not know anything regarding linux? | 04:45 |
| Detergentizer | that did not work | 04:46 |
| qcjn | robin0800, ok | 04:46 |
| jtokarchuk | Detergentizer, sudo service lightdm stop | 04:46 |
| jdtm | ok, how do i add an application to the "open with" list | 04:46 |
| Lucifer_DaGreat | Detergentizer, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 04:46 |
| mkquist | Detergentizer: what did you try? | 04:46 |
| luis_ | Besogon, Thanks anyway | 04:46 |
| robin0800 | qcjn: remove the second part after the ; of line 4 | 04:47 |
| jtokarchuk | Lucifer_DaGreat, if he is using 11.10, it's lightdm and CTRL + ALT _ BKSP is not enabled by default | 04:47 |
| luis_ | Besogon, I will try and maybe will get some tutorial to find the way to get the information under linux operating system | 04:47 |
| Besogon | ok | 04:47 |
| === rickytaylor26 is now known as ricky26 | ||
| jeFalaO | well thanks for the help ill jsut google it | 04:48 |
| qcjn | robin0800, meaning "notification" ? | 04:48 |
| is_derek | !root | 04:48 |
| ubottu | 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 | 04:48 |
| qcjn | robin0800, this is line 4 "RequiredProviders=windowmanager;notifications;" | 04:49 |
| Detergentizer | it fail insta | 04:50 |

| munch13 | Can anyone suggest a lighter webcam app than cheese? | 04:50 |
| Lucifer_DaGreat | camorama | 04:50 |
| boer | I would like to have some advice on installing ubuntu | 04:51 |
| jtokarchuk | boer: fire away! | 04:51 |
| boer | i have an old machine and i know linux can run on machines with low memory | 04:51 |
| munch13 | Lucifer_DaGreat: cool, thanks | 04:51 |
| lhasa | any ideas why thunar would have no icons when opened w/ gksudo ? there's no error message (in the console at least) | 04:51 |
| boer | is this true? | 04:51 |
| clear` | sorta | 04:51 |
| jtokarchuk | boer: Ubuntu has a distribution just for this. It's called Xubuntu. How low of memory are we talking? | 04:51 |
| boer | i dunno what is in this machine but id like to install ubuntu on it | 04:52 |
| clear` | depends on everything you have running on it, how much memory you have tc... | 04:52 |
| boer | oh jtokarchuk that may be good | 04:52 |
| robin0800 | qcjn: note then to alter things if compiz is running you need super+alt+right click | 04:52 |
| boer | i just want to put a useable os on it | 04:52 |
| jtokarchuk | boer: how much RAM? | 04:52 |
| sauvin | Boer, find out what the machine has and define for us what you want to do with it. | 04:52 |
| boer | well i dunno its just in my closet | 04:52 |
| boer | its a IBM Selectric II | 04:52 |
| sauvin | Sheah. | 04:53 |
| boer | its old but i think if i can get ubuntu on it | 04:53 |
| jtokarchuk | oh dear | 04:53 |
| boer | it will be workable | 04:53 |
| Detergentizer | BBC - AtomBBC - Atom - Part 1 of 3 - The Clash of the Titans - Part 1 of 3 - The Clash of the Titans | 04:53 |
| sauvin | A selectric is a TYPEWRITER. | 04:53 |
| qcjn | robin0800, what you mean to alter thing ? | 04:53 |
| Detergentizer | the distribution-provided pre-install script failed nvidia << error message | 04:53 |
| jtokarchuk | boer: joke? I thought the selectric was their line of typewriters | 04:53 |
| boer | ?? | 04:53 |
| jtokarchuk | LOL | 04:53 |
| boer | no it is definitely a computer | 04:53 |
| boer | i think it has 512k | 04:53 |
| sauvin | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selectric | 04:54 |
| jtokarchuk | everything I look up has it listed as a typewriter. Even the Selectric II. | 04:54 |
| sauvin | Trust me on this. I remember using the stupid things in high school in the early 70's. | 04:54 |
| boer | i plug it in | 04:54 |
| boer | it has a keyboard | 04:54 |
| boer | i want to install ubuntu | 04:54 |
| boer | how | 04:54 |
| jtokarchuk | Not possible on that machine. Sorry. | 04:55 |
| sauvin | Dude... a selectric has no CPU. | 04:55 |
| boer | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selectric#Use_as_a_computer_terminal | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | boot cd... follow directions | 04:55 |
| sauvin | TERMINAL, maybe. Dunno about that, but a TERMINAL isn't always a computer. | 04:55 |
| jtokarchuk | boer: Even a trimmed down ubuntu will be chuggy on 512MB, nevermind kilobytes | 04:55 |
| clear` | toss it out and go buy a $100 machine off CL | 04:56 |
| sauvin | $400 and a fast trip to Walmart will get you a machine you can chuck Ubuntu on in about twenty minutes flat. | 04:57 |
| boer | well fine | 04:57 |
| Lucifer_DaGreat | toss out a selectric?!? it is a classic | 04:57 |
| boer | i was a little embarrassed to say but i guess you wont listen unless i tell you | 04:57 |
| VIPER-II | how do u uninstall things with apt-get? | 04:57 |
| boer | my mother lost her job last month | 04:57 |
| jtokarchuk | keep the selectric, just don't try to run aynthing on it | 04:58 |
| boer | my father was killed in 2002 in iraq | 04:58 |
| jtokarchuk | boer, that's unfortunate, but ubuntu still will not run | 04:58 |
| Lucifer_DaGreat | VIPER-II, sudo apt-get install <package> | 04:58 |
| jdtm | how do i add an application to the "open with" list? | 04:58 |
| boer | my sister left us i have no clue where we think she may have died of drugs | 04:58 |
| clear` | hm | 04:58 |

| boer | why | 04:59 |
| nevyn | convert the selectric to be a tty | 04:59 |
| nevyn | :) | 04:59 |
| jtokarchuk | boer: it is not possible. The selectric only has a serial modem. It will not work. | 04:59 |
| clear` | your old enough to find some type of work | 04:59 |
| boer | clear`: i told you | 04:59 |
| boer | my mother lost her job | 04:59 |
| boer | my father died in 2002 | 04:59 |
| jdtm | uhh, thats not what i was talking about at all | 04:59 |
| boer | my sister is dead or on drugs | 04:59 |
| jtokarchuk | boer: that is quite unfortunate, but we did not cause those issues, and nor can we make ubuntu work on a machine that is not a computer | 05:00 |
| boer | so i really dont have time for a job right now | 05:00 |
| boer | please | 05:00 |
| jtokarchuk | boer: and if you are so destitute, how are you on the internet at this time on IRC. | 05:00 |
| Hilarie | hello, I am trying to figure out how to log into an Xsession remotely via ssh, and I am in ssh_config in /etc/ssh do I remove the # before the relevant lines, or just change what I think I should? I only have ssh access to this box, so messing it up would be very bad | 05:00 |

| xangua | !addppa | Detergentizer if you mean from launchpad | 05:08 |
| ubottu | Detergentizer if you mean from launchpad: Since Ubuntu 9.10, a !ppa can be added using a single command « sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name » See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20PPAs for more details | 05:08 |
| VIPER-II | guess not. | 05:08 |

| tash | does anyone know where smbpasswd -a stores samba users? | 05:13 |
| qcjn | robin0800, i don't understand what you're saying about "alt" | 05:13 |
| jdtm | nevermind, i dont think we are on the same page. | 05:13 |
| urlin2u | jdtm, how are you opening that app as of now? | 05:14 |
| urlin2u | jdtm, is it in usr/bin or usr/sbin | 05:14 |
| jdtm | no, i just compiled it. its in my documents in a folder called slade 3 | 05:15 |
| urlin2u | jdtm, I'm just no familiar with that app so details matter here though so make sure you mention this setup. | 05:17 |

| vagothcpp | is there a way to redownload all installed packages to my apt cache? | 06:10 |
| idlemind324 | randomusr i can't give you the exact steps but it sounds like you need to tell apache to process .pl files w/one of the cgi modules | 06:10 |

| vagothcpp | or is there a way to create a list of installed packages, just names | 06:12 |
| randomusr | idlemind324, using mod_perl but I think I need to configure cgi to somehow recognize/process the files. I've looked on the web but can't seem to figure it out | 06:12 |
| crazytrane | amh345, yes | gpg command | 06:12 |
| crazytrane | lol | 06:12 |
| amh345 | huh? | 06:13 |
| amh345 | LOLOLOLOLO TRLOLOLOLO | 06:13 |
| idlemind324 | vagothcpp you may accomplish what you're after with sudo apt-get check | 06:13 |

| crazytrane | lol | 06:13 |
| amh345 | i see something about trust levels | 06:14 |
| amh345 | but i cant pull any info on it. | 06:14 |
| idlemind324 | randomusr are you using the ubuntu server guide? that should get .pl files up and running out of the box for you | 06:14 |
| amh345 | crazytrane: piping yes still shows the prompt | 06:16 |

| sinisterstuf | Northwoods, some docks like AWM or Docky can be configured to behave the way you want, especially in combination with some compiz effects | 06:28 |
| clear` | add a second panel and add what you need to it? | 06:29 |
| sinisterstuf | In fact you might be able to achieve this using gnome2.6+compiz alone | 06:29 |
| Northwoods | sinister, i'll look into it , thanks for help[ | 06:29 |
| sinisterstuf | Northwoods, you're welcome, if you're interested AWN's package name is avant-window-navigator | 06:29 |
| sinisterstuf | Detergentizer, perhaps you can remove it using Ubuntu software centre? | 06:30 |
| Northwoods | One more question , i installed gnome shell , it has feature if i move mouse to top left corner it shows open applications , does it consume too much of memory ? | 06:30 |
| sinisterstuf | or is that not what you're trying to do? | 06:30 |
| Detergentizer | tried | 06:30 |
| sinisterstuf | Northwoods, I don't think so, if your computer can draw the GNOME 3 environment it should have no problem showing you running applications | 06:31 |
| sinisterstuf | Determine perhaps try reinstalling the driver you *do* want and it should replace this one | 06:31 |

| Milossh | hey; I have dell inspiron 5110(15R) and have serious cpu temp probs(97C when browsing). Is there a tool that actually works? Stupid BIOS doesn't show any power settings. some windows solutions mention cpu max should be turned down to ~70%, but I don't get that in ubuntu. What worries me is that this laptop is actually Ubuntu Certified, but I don't get any special tools for it, whatsoever | 07:31 |
| clear` | Milossh: does your bios have an update that will show temps? | 07:32 |
| susundberg | Milossh: Are you sure that is serious cpu temp problem -- to me it sounds like quite normal temp? | 07:32 |
| Milossh | clear`, I installed latest firmware | 07:32 |
| __20eyes__ | only use it outside :] | 07:32 |
| Milossh | susundberg, well, if I close the lid(I'm using external monitor), it overheats within minutes | 07:32 |
| clear` | mine gets into mid 90's when browsing | 07:33 |
| Milossh | it's winter where I am now, so I may try it on -20. maybe it'll have standard working temperature | 07:33 |
| === rogst_ is now known as rogst | ||
| Milossh | clear`, regular temp for mine when idle is ~58, but I get 85 | 07:33 |
| __20eyes__ | clean your heat sync | 07:34 |
| bc81 | Milossh: can you open it see if there is dust on the heat sink/fan area | 07:34 |
| Milossh | I already cleaned it | 07:34 |
| __20eyes__ | might need to reset the cpu | 07:34 |
| clear` | did you take it apart and clean | 07:34 |
| susundberg | Milossh: ok check | 07:34 |
| Milossh | I also tried several tools for checking cpu temp and trying to get fan run faster, but no success in doing that. No tool seems to work | 07:35 |
| === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-afk | ||
| clear` | Milossh: have you went through the processes and stopped the ones you dont need | 07:35 |
| __20eyes__ | i dont think having the fan run faster is going to fix anything | 07:35 |
| Milossh | clear`, it's not that. | 07:36 |
| __20eyes__ | unless its running really slow | 07:36 |
| clear` | tbh it sounds like hardware problem (fan problem) | 07:36 |
| Milossh | I wouldn't say it's running slow, as I can hear it from downtown | 07:36 |
| __20eyes__ | Sounds like your laptops just reaching its twilight | 07:37 |
| __20eyes__ | they all gotta go sometime | 07:37 |
| Milossh | __20eyes__, yeah, it's like really old, 2 months | 07:37 |
| clear` | its only 2 months old? | 07:37 |
| Milossh | clear`, yes | 07:37 |
| __20eyes__ | well dont you have a warranty then? | 07:38 |
| Milossh | say 3 months | 07:38 |
| clear` | did you have heat problems when it first came in? | 07:38 |
| soreau | ! lmsensors | Milossh | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Milossh: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 07:38 |
| Milossh | soreau, Core 0: +92.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) | 07:38 |
| Milossh | Core 1: +90.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) | 07:38 |
| clear` | anyone else have temp problems? | 07:38 |
| Milossh | I know about that, but it doesn't detect fan speed | 07:39 |
| Milossh | if I run it on Windows though, it doesn't have that probs | 07:39 |
| __20eyes__ | really? | 07:40 |
| Milossh | but I really can't do my day job on windows, nor like it, nor really thinking of using it | 07:40 |
| __20eyes__ | what temp does it hit on windows? | 07:40 |
| Milossh | __20eyes__, no, I just don't know what to do and I came here to jerk you around... | 07:40 |
| soreau | Milossh: What version of ubuntu? | 07:40 |

| soreau | Milossh: Is the cpu actually in high use or are the fans just not running as they should? | 07:41 |
| Milossh | soreau, can't say for latter, as I don't get fan speed(s), but former doesn't show any outstanding busyness | 07:42 |
| soreau | Milossh: you have ears, dont you? :P | 07:42 |
| Milossh | nope, didn't get ears out of the box :) | 07:42 |

| evil_hog | greetings. i'm trying to install kubuntu x86_64 on my brand new laptop lenovo z570 without success. looks like it doesn't even boot grub. i could boot kubuntu from either usb stick or dvd, but after system installed it just doesn't boot from hdd. just black screen or chosing next device in boot list | 08:11 |
| theadmin | INEEDHELP101: It will break in 3 freaking days | 08:11 |
| theadmin | INEEDHELP101: Use a VM if you can't afford a real install for some reasons | 08:11 |
| INEEDHELP101 | okay, well it shows up in the task manager for a few seconds then shuts down | 08:12 |

| evil_hog | sorry for pushing you, any idea regarding my issue? | 08:17 |
| theadmin | apophis_: iirc, you can download wubi as a plain "wubi.exe" and it's self-sufficent, that just works | 08:17 |
| Mr_EE1 | i want to install unity together with lubuntu how do i install it on lubuntu 11.10 | 08:19 |
| apophis_ | Well, if its not working there has to be some reason, and if that is the error he was getting then it probably has something to do with it. | 08:19 |

| apophis_ | <Natecat>if you boot without the other 200gb hd plugged in does it still do it? | 08:24 |
| scarleo | Mr_EE1: I guess it would be enough to install 'unity', either through synaptic or 'sudo apt-get install unity', but I've never used lubuntu so I'm not sure | 08:24 |
| Natecat | the linux USB creator thingy | 08:24 |

| onre | bullgard6, bootpc is the name of the port. grep bootpc /etc/services | 08:40 |
| apophis_ | they release stable then "cutting edge" | 08:40 |
| onre | bullgard6, basically that line means that you have some software listening on all interfaces at udp bootpc port | 08:40 |

| bullgard6 | onre: '~$ grep bootpc /etc/services; bootpc 68/tcp # BOOTP client; bootpc68/udp'. So "bootpc" is the name of the TCP-Port 68 and of the UDP port 68 as well? What is the meaning of the name "bootpc"? It is a "service". But what kind of service? | 08:48 |
| onre | bullgard6, it's related to network booting of older unix workstations and other devices. incidentally, DHCP server uses the same port. | 08:48 |
| onre | bullgard6, oh sorry, it does not. it uses 67 which is bootps or something. | 08:49 |
| bullgard6 | onre: Thank you for your help. Using your information I can now continue snooping. | 08:49 |

| inad922 | Can someone suggest me a program with which I can make some desktop notifications? Like I would like to set a time and a text and I would like the text to pop up at the given time. | 09:05 |
| bullgard6 | pigiman: I do not know what a 'dev server' is. But I am sure that /var/log/dmesg.0 will tell you the cause of your trouble. | 09:05 |

| dazz | Nom: i looked on the ubuntu website and see that they discontinued UNR | 09:11 |
| dazz | Besogon: I have just finished an install of Pinguy 11.10 on my netbook, and it is lagging big time. doesnt seem to like something??? | 09:11 |
| lunitik | dazz: just as a naming convention, UNR is what became Unity | 09:11 |
| llutz_ | dazz: have a look on lubuntu, should run fine even on weaker hardware. there is no special netbook-distro anymore | 09:11 |
| Nom- | Yeah, I was about to suggest it was converged now | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | hmm | 09:12 |
| Nom- | In 11.10 | 09:12 |
| * lunitik would recommend Xubuntu or Kubuntu over Lubuntu... LXde is not a very good DE at all | 09:12 | |
| dazz | so i i just install unity thats basically the netbook version? | 09:12 |
| Nom- | Starting with UNE 10.10, the interface was switched to Unity. Due to the desktop version of Ubuntu also being changed to the Unity interface, the netbook edition was rolled into the general Ubuntu distribution starting with Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal and the netbook edition was discontinued as a separate distribution.[1] | 09:12 |
| Nom- | There you go... Wikipedia knows all :) | 09:13 |
| Jorky | Anyone know how to set max. cpu speed? | 09:13 |
| dazz | ah right. | 09:13 |
| Abhinav1 | I am trying Ubuntu 11.10 live Cd and it is asking me to enter username and password.. what should I provide as username and password | 09:13 |
| dazz | so then question is which of these is going to be the quickest (cpu speed wise): unity, Lubuntu, Xubuntu? | 09:14 |
| Jorky | Hello guys. I've got dualcore 2.0 Gb processor and I am using latest Ubuntu x64. I check and installed cpufrequtils but processor speed is stil 1.2 Gb using by system. How Can I fix this that system will use full proc. speed? Thnx. Please Help | 09:14 |
| lunitik | dazz: Essentially, although it is quite different from the first iterations of the netbook interface as well | 09:14 |
| dazz | its for my mom's netbook, so need something really simple for her | 09:14 |
| pigiman | bullgard6 - dmesg is empty | 09:15 |
| lunitik | dazz: I think she will enjoy regular Ubuntu, although it'll prolly be unity-2d - basically the same, but without 3D rendering, uses Qt but you don't notice | 09:15 |
| Nom- | Is it bad form to post links to lmgtfy? :P | 09:15 |
| mrpink57 | dazz: they'll all be simple so most mothers are going to make you set it up anyways | 09:15 |

| llutz_ | bullgard6: sudo lsof -i :68 | 09:16 |
| lunitik | dazz: Unity makes a lot of effort to save pixels for the small screen size of netbooks... otherwise it feels much the same as old Gnome2 | 09:16 |
| dazz | haha, yeah, its the support i am worried about.. ok. i will install unity quick on pinguy 11.10 and see how it goes. | 09:16 |
| dazz | thanks guys for the help! | 09:16 |
| CaptAnon | What are you looking for dazz | 09:16 |
| dazz | how do i get it to boot into unity-2d automatically? | 09:16 |
| lunitik | CaptAnon: he wants a netbook-suitable desktop | 09:16 |
| mrpink57 | dazz: I would do simple ubuntu, not much can go wrong and then just put a few shortcuts on the desktop for internet and whatever programs she wants. | 09:16 |
| fling | hello! do you use Jira? | 09:17 |
| lunitik | dazz: it should just choose it... but from the settings menu (the circle icon next to the name on the login manager) you can choose it | 09:17 |
| llutz_ | bullgard6: use "netstat -lup" if you want to see ports and not correspopnding services from /etc/services in the list | 09:17 |

| lunitik | dazz: you can just install unity-2d as well | 09:18 |
| llutz_ | Jonii: blacklist webcam modules | 09:18 |
| CaptAnon | Yeah Is the unity on the new ubuntu much better, I wont be able to try it out for a couple of weeks? | 09:18 |
| lunitik | dazz: from pinguy, no need to install the whole caboodle to try 2D | 09:18 |

| dazz | yeah thanks guys. i have just booted into unity-2d. but there seems to be compositing on it? thought it was no 3d? | 09:19 |

| BlackDalek | HI, is it possible to set a page border in Libre Office Writer on only one page in a document? | 09:19 |
| llutz_ | Jonii: find out which kernelmodule it uses,blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/* | 09:19 |
| lunitik | dazz: it is faux compositing... | 09:19 |
| Jonii | whats kernel module? | 09:20 |
| dazz | ah i see, so it just running docky | 09:20 |
| CaptAnon | Is there anyway to stop files comming up when people type stuff into the unity search bar. I can't let other people use my computer because of it. | 09:20 |
| lunitik | dazz: no, the dash is implemented in QML | 09:20 |
| pigiman | OK, we are using Zend Studio to upload our local files to a remote sever which is our DEV server (LAMP server). Files are being uploaded onsave event and by using SSH connection. We are ~6 developers that use this server. Is there any chance that there are "too much" SSH connections or "too much" files are being uploaded and then the server is down because of it? | 09:20 |

| lunitik | dazz: On 3D, there is heavy use of Compiz... but that is why they went with Qt, cuz it does much the same stuff without killing the graphics card | 09:21 |
| llutz_ | pigiman: if that "server" is a piece of prehistoric weak and old hardware, maybe. watch systemload | 09:21 |
| lunitik | Jorky: processors aren't measured in GB... where are you looking that you think it isn't running at peak performance? | 09:22 |
| Jorky | by cpufreq command | 09:23 |
| bullgard6 | llutz_: '~$ sudo lsof -i :68; COMMAND= dhclient3; PID=883; USER=root; FD=4u; TYPE= IPv4; DEVICE=7242; SIZE/OFF=0t0; NODE NAME=UDP *:bootpc'. So my interpretation is that in the output of '~$ netstat -lu' the identifier 'bootpc' does not identify a program but the portnumber 68. Is this correct? | 09:23 |
| dazz | ok great, thanks for the info | 09:23 |
| pigiman | llutz_ :| | 09:23 |
| dazz | i am in unity 2d, and running much better. i am just going to tweak it a bit. get rid of conky etc... and should be ready to go :) | 09:24 |

| Jorky | becouse that my video is slow in ubuntu | 09:24 |
| Jorky | so please help | 09:24 |
| llutz_ | bullgard6: correct | 09:24 |

| Jorky | c'mon guys anyone knows hot to set up proper cpu speed? | 09:29 |
| nate_ | how do i use a already created partiton with the ubuntu installer? | 09:29 |
| ztane | nate_: hmm, you have an empty partition you want to use completely? | 09:30 |
| nate_ | ztane: yes | 09:30 |
| llutz_ | nate_: iirc the installer has an "expert" or "advanced" mode, when it comes to partitions. there you should be able to specify the mountpoint for your filesystem | 09:30 |
| Jorky | nate: You need to add user privilegies to that paritition | 09:31 |
| nate_ | what should i set mountpoint to? | 09:31 |
| nate_ | sorry I'm a bit new to linux | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | nate_: whereever you want it to mount | 09:32 |
| Jorky | sudo chown -R user:user /path/to/paritition and then sudo chmod -R 774 /path/to /paritition I think but I am not sure | 09:32 |
| bullgard6 | Jorky: The Ubuntu kernel will automatically set the proper CPU speed. If the value is not correct in your computer, please report an error to Launchpad. | 09:32 |
| Jorky | nate: pardon sudo chown -R user:user /path/to/paritition and then sudo chmod -R 775 /path/to /paritition I think but I am not sure | 09:32 |
| Jorky | well I hate that in ubuntu | 09:32 |
| llutz_ | nate_: if you want to install the system on it, just chose "/" for it | 09:33 |
| nate_ | ok brb | 09:33 |
| Jorky | ubuntu is very disapointing me | 09:33 |
| Jorky | very very disapointing | 09:33 |
| ztane | :D | 09:34 |
| Jorky | so if I not fix this problem I probably switch to other distro | 09:34 |
| mrpink57 | Jorky: isn't it suppose to be chown -R user:group? | 09:35 |
| Detergentizer | shoud i iunstall nvidie kermk | 09:35 |
| llutz_ | chown/chmod something for the installer makes no sense at all | 09:35 |
| wh1zz0 | It's chown -R user group | 09:36 |
| Jorky | mrpink57: No, you add user to that group lather with gpasswd command | 09:36 |
| llutz_ | wh1zz0: wrong | 09:36 |
| wh1zz0 | But it can also be chgrp | 09:36 |
| Jorky | I done that and it's working | 09:36 |
| Jorky | user:user trust me | 09:36 |
| mrpink57 | Jorky: I guess the man page is wrong then | 09:36 |

| llutz_ | Jorky: there should be graphical tools aswell | 09:59 |
| Jorky | llutz: Both cores still with 1.2Ghz :( | 09:59 |
| llutz_ | Jorky: did you put some load on the cpu? | 09:59 |
| Jorky | llutz: I think not :( How to do that? | 09:59 |
| llutz_ | Jorky: watch some videos | 10:00 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: time perl -e 'for($i=0;$i<1e9;$i++) { }' | 10:00 |
| Jorky | Am...what now? | 10:00 |
| Jorky | I am confused now, sorry | 10:01 |
| mrpink57 | sudo gedit /etc/conf.d/cpufreq you should be able to edit everything in there and it's laid out | 10:01 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: open two terminals, in one, "watch cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq" in the other "time perl -e 'for($i=0;$i<1e9;$i++) { }'" you should see the numbers in the first one dance about (and probably hear a fan responding to the load) | 10:02 |
| Jorky | I think its best if someone gives me a link to documetation how to set up core speed becouse I am confused becouse of different answers :/ | 10:03 |
| hackbert130 | lol Jorky Troll | 10:04 |
| mrpink57 | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cpufrequtils | 10:04 |
| Jorky | mrpink57: I done that but no luck | 10:04 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: just use your computer and forget about core speeds, it is doing it all for you, don't worry about it | 10:05 |
| llutz_ | Jorky: you don't want to have your cpu running on max_freqall the time | 10:05 |
| mrpink57 | Jorky: did what? go to the bottom at the daemon part | 10:06 |
| Jorky | llutz so what's the point of proc anway than? I want to use full speed not half of speed | 10:06 |
| zymurgy | A cooler machine lives longer, and the machine that runs slower generally runs cooler. | 10:06 |
| mrpink57 | I suppose you could just as easily remove cpufrequtils... | 10:06 |
| llutz_ | Jorky: it speeds up if it needs to, thats how it should work | 10:06 |
| Jorky | mrpink57. I done that procedure but cpu speed is still on 1.2Ghz instead of 2GHz | 10:07 |
| html | Jorky, llutz agreed .... and since this is new os , it can cause a lot of trouble..... and youll NEVER know it was this | 10:07 |
| Jorky | html: so thanx to explain to me that Ubuntu actualy SUCKS | 10:07 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: ok, in a car that is parked the engine will tick over at about 1000 rpm right? | 10:07 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: your computer is idle at tickover speed | 10:07 |
| Jorky | thnx for help guys but I am going to switch back to Arch | 10:08 |
| netraameht | ... | 10:08 |
| Jorky | bye | 10:08 |
| html | Jorky, then get a flash drive and move files | 10:08 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: if you drive off (or play a video) the engine respods | 10:08 |
| html | Jorky, wait | 10:08 |
| anAngel | Hello. Anyone to know the easiest way to block access to certain domains/urls over https with transparent squid? I have already done that over the http but https isn't going through proxy. My FW settings are correct for both http and https redirection to the proxy. | 10:08 |
| llutz_ | i should have gone, feeding the ducks ... | 10:08 |
| Jorky | AlanBell: I havent any problem in Arch with that but in ubuntu omg | 10:08 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: if arch is running your processor at 2Ghz constantly then it is a problem! | 10:08 |
| Jorky | I can't even set cpu speed, c'mon | 10:09 |
| Detergentizer | basically. i have iot running | 10:09 |
| Detergentizer | i was able to edit by hand and com | 10:09 |
| Jorky | AlanBell. Why? | 10:09 |
| Detergentizer | and compile kernel from command line | 10:09 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: if your car is parked you don't need to rev it at 6000 rpm, waste of petrol right? | 10:09 |
| Jorky | I need explenation becouse I want to understand how system works | 10:09 |
| Detergentizer | 0dont lmknow how good build is | 10:09 |
| Detergentizer | but it is workng with nvida latest drivers\ | 10:10 |
| MeirD | How can i list file using ls that only have 5 characters? | 10:10 |
| html | Jorky, this is cuz of many thing s chaning and we havent gotin synced ,,, but i say go to 10.10 or 10.04 lts so you cant get the "roots " lol for this os | 10:10 |
| llutz_ | MeirD: ls ????? | 10:10 |
| Jorky | AlanBell: But cpu is not a car and system works much more faster and better with full cpu speed | 10:10 |
| MeirD | yeah, but use ls to print only files with length of 5 | 10:11 |
| hackbert130 | Jorky wrong. | 10:11 |
| Jorky | why? | 10:11 |
| Jorky | explain | 10:11 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: it is a good analogy. Your processor speeds up if it needs to respond to load. | 10:11 |
| hackbert130 | because overheat | 10:11 |
| hackbert130 | thats why ur fan is that loud while decompressing large archives | 10:12 |
| Jorky | AlanBell: Ok why nobody said this in first place, but I still need some documentation about that | 10:12 |
| html | Jorky, just a sec | 10:12 |
| Jorky | alanBell: and what is point of cpufreq utils than? | 10:12 |
| Jorky | I'll remove cpufrequtils now | 10:14 |
| Detergentizer | the guy that was not liking 11.10 as i did u get your issue fixed? | 10:14 |
| Jorky | removed* | 10:14 |
| Jorky | So I should be no worry about cpu speed? | 10:15 |
| AlanBell | indeed, don't worry about it | 10:15 |
| hackbert130 | Jorky: the background is power dissipation in FET`s if you are interested. Everything should be fine with your speed. | 10:15 |
| AlanBell | Jorky: from the cpufreq-info man page "A small tool which prints out cpufreq information helpful to developers and interested users" | 10:16 |

| wh1zz0 | Guys.... please does anyone know why I keep getting this mixed colored view on my gedit screen? http://imagebin.org/187058 ... Even though I have the theme as green on black (matrix) | 10:17 |

| wh1zz0 | Wrong channel? | 10:17 |

| AlanBell | wh1zz0: ok, presume it isn't selected text? | 10:19 |
| Jorky | copy and out :D* | 10:19 |
| wh1zz0 | AlanBell: Yes it isn;t selected text.. But normally it's supposed to show as green wheather selected or not | 10:19 |
| html | Jorky, r u still there? | 10:20 |
| Detergentizer | y are my icons freaked up? | 10:20 |
| html | Jorky r u still there? | 10:21 |
| AlanBell | wh1zz0: just that colour scheme? are others like cobalt like that too? | 10:21 |
| deej1976 | wh1zz0: Any hidden character. does gedit have a :set list type option? | 10:21 |
| wh1zz0 | AlanBell: You are somehow correct because when I higlight the white part, it turns green... But this wasn't how it used to function before.. It always showed green wheather text was highlighted or not.. So if this is the case how can I adjust it to function properly.. Just this scheme, yeah | 10:21 |
| wh1zz0 | deej1976: How do you mean? | 10:22 |
| AlanBell | wh1zz0: something specific to that document? | 10:22 |
| deej1976 | wh1zz0: if you open the file in vi you might see an hidden characters before your second paragraph | 10:23 |
| wh1zz0 | AlanBell: I just checked the cobalt, it works fine.. But this matrix keeps showing me partial white which is quite irritating | 10:23 |
| wh1zz0 | deej1976: Really? | 10:23 |
| wh1zz0 | deej1976: Okie after I do vi file.txt what do I look for as hidden and how can I fix this? | 10:24 |
| deej1976 | in a terminal: vi textfilename.txt | 10:24 |
| wh1zz0 | AlanBell: All documents act this way, not just the specific document | 10:24 |
| wh1zz0 | deej1976: Done | 10:24 |
| Detergentizer | nevermind | 10:24 |
| deej1976 | wh1zz0: Is it all documents? | 10:24 |
| AlanBell | wh1zz0: all from line 30? | 10:24 |
| Detergentizer | i fixed it by resetting desktop desktp file | 10:25 |
| Detergentizer | .unity | 10:25 |
| wh1zz0 | deej1976: I just opened another txt file using vi and I see something at the end of each line.... ^M | 10:26 |
| wh1zz0 | deej1976: Strange.. what does that mean? | 10:26 |
| deej1976 | wh1zz0: It's a dos carridge return | 10:26 |
| wh1zz0 | deej1976: Also, how do I exit vi? ctrl x doesnt work | 10:26 |

| deej1976 | wh1zz0: esc esc :q! | 10:27 |
| wh1zz0 | deej1976: iceroot: Uhmm.. okie cool.. So that has nothing to do with this issue | 10:27 |
| wh1zz0 | deej1976: Is that the hidden character you mentioned? | 10:27 |
| deej1976 | wh1zz0: Not if it's happen to all files from line 30. | 10:27 |

| deavid | hi, i have a problem. I installed Ubuntu from Windows a year ago, and seems that it didn't created a partition at all, because i see /dev/loop0 mounted on /. When i installed that, i assigned 30Gb and now i want to resize it... how i can do that? | 10:48 |
| AlanBell | deavid: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_resize_the_virtual_disks.3F | 10:49 |
| CaptAnon | I don't get it | 10:49 |
| bullgard6 | deavid: You can resize a partition. What is the name of the partition you want to resize? | 10:49 |
| AlanBell | CaptAnon: maybe describe the scenario a bit more? | 10:49 |
| AlanBell | bullgard6: it is wubi, not a partition | 10:49 |
| deavid | bullgard6: i believe AlanBell spotted the problem. It's a virtual disk. I'm going to follow the guide | 10:50 |
| CaptAnon | what does the -l wh1zz0 mentioned do? | 10:50 |
| amcsi_work | hello | 10:51 |
| CaptAnon | does it just use the same login name I am logged in currently for the ssh | 10:51 |
| amcsi_work | I booted my ubuntu without a monitor and it works fine for ssh and x and stuff. Now I want to attach a monitor to it, but it doesn't display anything | 10:51 |
| AlanBell | CaptAnon: by default it uses your current login name, yes | 10:51 |
| amcsi_work | How can I make it use the monitor by restarting fewer tasks as possible? | 10:51 |
| CaptAnon | Thanks | 10:52 |
| AlanBell | chances are you want to change that, which you can do by "ssh -l myname hostname" or "ssh myname@hostname" | 10:52 |
| wh1zz0 | for instance if you want to ssh to a machine with the ip 127.0.0.1 and login or username as root.. you can either do A) ssh root -l root 127.0.0.1 OR ssh root@127.0.0.1 | 10:52 |

| qxt | Gentoo64 lol, I have read everything on the net about IOPS etc. Seems the Sandforce 22xx suck ... for Windows. Just thought I would give Ubuntu a spin. Kind of tired of aliment issues, noop and ext4 not picking up TRIM. | 11:00 |
| iceroot | harsh343: cli-tools for reading mails/browsing websites | 11:00 |
| harsh343 | iceroot, ok | 11:00 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: i use noop and ext4, add discard and trim works | 11:00 |
| iceroot | deper29: should be possible with a live-cd and a later chroot for the system | 11:01 |
| harsh343 | iceroot, so i need to install cli-tools like mutt | 11:01 |
| CaptAnon | what should happen if I type ssh IP? | 11:01 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: and sandfoce is one of the best controllers | 11:01 |
| qxt | Gentoo64 do you use a Sandforce controller? If so any issues | 11:01 |
| deper29 | how would I do that? | 11:01 |
| deper29 | I'm a noob and messed this up :( | 11:01 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: yes the vertex2 is sandforce and its been flawless | 11:01 |
| Gentoo64 | had it since 09 | 11:01 |
| iceroot | harsh343: mutt is a cli-mailclient | 11:01 |
| harsh343 | ok | 11:02 |
| iceroot | harsh343: if you want to use it you have to install it "sudo apt-get install mutt" | 11:02 |
| CaptAnon | wh1zz0, what should happen if it just but ssh IP? | 11:03 |
| wh1zz0 | CaptAnon: Lol.. try it and see | 11:04 |
| CaptAnon | nothing? | 11:04 |
| qxt | Gentoo64 looking at a OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS SATA III. Some say it really sucks and Windows ppl tend to like them. Good to hear you dont have issues with your sandforce controller | 11:04 |
| wh1zz0 | CaptAnon: It'd connect but will immediately ask you for a password and even if your password is correct it will not log you in | 11:04 |
| CaptAnon | oh wait I got something? a timeout | 11:04 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: ive actually read that the vertex 2 is better for randoms than the vertex 3 and its a lot cheaper | 11:05 |
| CaptAnon | Can I connect to my own IP? | 11:05 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: i havent researched much since i bought mine though | 11:05 |
| harsh343 | iceroot, some proble occur during installation | 11:05 |
| harsh343 | http://pastebin.com/JxzmfV6g | 11:05 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: but the vertex drives are definately some of the best rated | 11:05 |
| CaptAnon | I was using my own IP would that stop it working? | 11:05 |
| qxt | Gentoo64 the return rate is 4.6% on the OCZ ssd devices =/ | 11:05 |
| Gentoo64 | hmm idk :s like i say ive had mine for years and its as fast as when i bought it, ive done secure erase on it way too many times too | 11:06 |
| qxt | Gentoo64 that does not mean much though since most ppl are not using *nix machines | 11:06 |
| Gentoo64 | windows is no different | 11:06 |
| Gentoo64 | still trims | 11:07 |
| Gentoo64 | just when its idle rather than on the fly afaik | 11:07 |
| qxt | Gentoo64 I am guessing you are using discard in /etc/fstab | 11:08 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah, discard,noatime | 11:08 |
| Gentoo64 | and noop and ext4 | 11:08 |

| qxt | Gentoo64 I might just go for a Sandforce based ssd then. The idea of a MLC NAND seems kind of iffy but the SLC Intels cost way to much atm. Do you really get sequential read speeds close to 500 mb/s ? | 11:14 |
| ledzgio | on ubuntu 11.10 with kernel 3.0.14 | 11:15 |

| jnwhiteh | If an application has no windows open, there doesn't seem to be anything in the unity dashboard that shows it as being active.. is this intentional? Is there a better way to find out which applications are running? | 11:16 |
| ledzgio | but if I download with deluge for ecample | 11:16 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: not on the vertex2, on the vertex3 id guess you do. i get the rated sequential speeds on my drive. dont be put off by mlc, the sandforce drives are very high rated and reliable and the controller is decent. just get one :) | 11:16 |
| ledzgio | net card gets disconnected after a while | 11:16 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: the vertex3 has higher sequentials than the vertex2, but worse randoms (if i remember right) ofc with ssd for general use randoms are more improtant | 11:17 |
| ledzgio | if I download at slow speed its dont happen | 11:17 |
| ledzgio | if I download fast it happen | 11:17 |
| ledzgio | s | 11:17 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: but im not 100% sure on the vertex3s stats | 11:17 |
| ledzgio | any thoughts? | 11:17 |
| jnwhiteh | For example, I've got empathy open, but if I have the contacts window closed and no active chat windows, the application still appears to be running.. so I can still get notifications for it. It's quite confusing =/ | 11:17 |

| ledzgio | someone have fixed compiling the drivers | 11:22 |
| Gentoo64 | dont look like your in luck then | 11:22 |
| ledzgio | but I have found drivers just for kernel 2.6.x | 11:22 |
| Gentoo64 | ok, maybe you need to manually install a driver then | 11:22 |
| ledzgio | and not for 3 | 11:22 |
| Gentoo64 | well it might work, i have no idea | 11:22 |
| ledzgio | i cannot find drivers suitable for kernel 3.x | 11:22 |
| qxt | Gentoo64 only reason I care at all about sequential speeds is that I do a lot of video editing. Like you point out though IO on smaller data is generally much more important. My 4xF3 HDD still has a 12ms crappy seek time. The ssd at 0.1 ms looks awesome. | 11:22 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: if its your first ssd youll be amazed :) | 11:23 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: do what i do, use ssd for general os, and a big hdd(s) for big files / sequentials | 11:23 |
| Gentoo64 | wear and tear isnt much of an issue on modern ssds | 11:24 |
| Gentoo64 | but still pointless if you have hdds with good speed for big files | 11:24 |
| Braden` | Whenever I type: lightdm | 11:24 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: i use the samsung f3 as well (only 1 though)_ | 11:25 |
| Braden` | Whenever I type: lightdm -- It tells me, "Can't open display!" | 11:25 |
| qxt | Gentoo64 yup my first. Been using RAID 0 with 4 HDDs for a while. Well looks like I run out and pick up that OCZ that can use the SATAIII. | 11:25 |
| Braden` | But startx runs just fine | 11:25 |
| Braden` | How do I fix this error? | 11:25 |
| Gentoo64 | qxt: go for it. the ocz forums sometimes have some useful info about the technical stuff with the drives, basically saying theyre good lol | 11:26 |
| secretsneeper | can someone who knows backtrack mssg me | 11:26 |
| Stanley00 | Braden`: try "DISPLAY=:0 lightdm" | 11:26 |

| Daemon_Byte | I have a freshly installed ubuntu box with an nvidia 210 graphics card installed. I am trying to get twinview to work so I can use 2 monitors however I keep hitting a problem. I open up the nvidia config panel, enable the second monitor and they both come up. Then the menu across the top and the bar down the left vanish and I am unable to do anything. | 11:28 |
| Stanley00 | Braden`: are you sure you startx already, looks like it didnt start | 11:29 |
| Stanley00 | Braden`: did Ctrl+Alt+F7 show up a graphical screen? | 11:30 |
| qxt | secretsneeper The metasploit framework is god sent. Use it with burp, splmapper and you will be like monkey with a machine gun! | 11:30 |
| Gentoo64 | lol | 11:30 |
| jamil_1 | hi all, I have installed MS Office 2007 via PlayonLinux. I want to change file association to MS Office for docx, pptx etc | 11:30 |
| Gentoo64 | theres a basic guide somewhere on metasploit | 11:31 |
| jamil_1 | suggestions ? | 11:31 |
| secretsneeper | --qxt possibility of using metasploit against say a school server | 11:32 |
| secretsneeper | built in exploits for servers? | 11:32 |
| Braden` | Stanley00: No, I haven't run startx yet. Usually it works though. I am wanting to fix it so lightdm will start when I reboot instead of outputing "Can't open display!" | 11:32 |
| Daemon_Byte | anyone know how to help me with this screen issue? I would hate to have to put windows on it but it needs to be useable by the end of the day | 11:33 |
| Stanley00 | Braden`: hmm I dont know much about this kind of problem, how did you install your system? | 11:34 |
| Braden` | Normal install | 11:35 |
| Braden` | but | 11:35 |
| Braden` | This problem happened when I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.11 | 11:35 |
| Braden` | Interestingly gdm works | 11:35 |
| === t3i_ is now known as t3i | ||
| Stanley00 | Braden`: hmm, so upgrade may cause the problem here, I think you should install 11.10 freshly... | 11:37 |
| Stanley00 | !clone | Braden` | 11:38 |
| ubottu | Braden`: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 11:38 |

| dr_willis | you can make one.. but why do you need to change to 16bit color? | 13:16 |
| MeQuerSat | xorg.conf can be found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:17 |
| ThSenior | its full in google about it but last ubuntu seems dont have it | 13:17 |
| ThSenior | nope. there isnt | 13:17 |
| ejv | that's because this is the matrix | 13:17 |

| ThSenior | dr_willis i think it will be a little bit faster, its really slow and uses a lot of cpu | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | Milos_SD: if you change it with tune2fs. im not sure the change takes effect untill you reboot/remount the fs. | 13:19 |

| somsip | researcher123: same with me, which is why I installed 64 from minimal install CD to a different partition/drive | 15:14 |
| OerHeks | TTest, use 'top' to determinate the PID, then killall -9 <pid> | 15:14 |
| researcher123 | if I install 64 bit system by replacing the 32 bit will the earlier applications work? | 15:15 |
| TTest | OerHeks: that doesnt work either, its driving me crazy that I cant disable gwibber | 15:15 |

| somsip | researcher123: lots of long arguments about how much and with what sort of apps, but short answer always seems to be 'yes' | 15:17 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | researcher123 - you you have more than 4GB RAm then 64Bit is going to be better in the long run - | 15:17 |
| OerHeks | researcher123, if there is no 64 bit version of your software, you could use IA32-libs to run 32 bit software under 64 bit. | 15:17 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | s/you you /if you/ | 15:18 |
| researcher123 | oh.ok | 15:18 |

| somsip | somnium: but end result is ually, as RaTTuS|BIG says, if you have more than 4GB and have no very unusual apps that do not support 64 (though there are workarounds), you should use 64 | 15:19 |

| MeQuerSat | sudo apt-get install <package1> <package2> | 15:35 |
| dr_willis | syed: via the package manager tools install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' that should pull in most codecs. | 15:35 |
| dr_willis | and other things you most likely want. | 15:35 |
| MeQuerSat | TTest: guess thats an option too :) | 15:35 |
| MeQuerSat | dr_willis, I deliberately dont install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 15:35 |
| MeQuerSat | it screws up the flash plugin | 15:35 |
| dr_willis | Its the first thing install MeQuerSat and ive never had it screw up flash. | 15:36 |
| MeQuerSat | thats because youre using the 32bit flash plugin | 15:36 |
| dr_willis | actually the installer has check box's now a days that i think pulls in some of the stuff on teh first screen | 15:36 |
| MeQuerSat | I like to use the 64bit native flash plugin on linux ;) | 15:36 |
| Wolfsherz | MeQuerSat: which one would i chose to install: FGLRX graphics driver or (post-release updates)? | 15:36 |
| dr_willis | cant say ive ever noticed a need to use the 64 vs 321bit flash plugins. | 15:36 |
| MeQuerSat | dr_willis, it elimates the ndiswrapper overhead | 15:37 |
| syed | nice friends | 15:37 |
| MeQuerSat | Wolfsherz, first one: fglrx | 15:37 |
| Wolfsherz | MeQuerSat: the second one os FGLRX too, but with that post release udpates | 15:37 |
| MeQuerSat | oh, you can choose that then | 15:37 |
| dr_willis | cant say that ive noticed a need to worry about it MeQuerSat :) | 15:37 |
| syed | any other important commands is there? | 15:38 |
| dr_willis | syed: depends on what you are doing. :) | 15:38 |
| MeQuerSat | syed: sudo apt-get update | 15:38 |
| MeQuerSat | and sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:38 |
| syed | mm k | 15:38 |
| MeQuerSat | update makes sure you have the latest list of packages, upgrade makes sure all packages get upgraded | 15:38 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is a more intensive upgrade. :) normally not needed... | 15:38 |
| syed | k friends | 15:39 |
| HypothesisFrog | every time I launch Konqueror, it launches another app called knotify4 which screws up my audio? Is there anyway I can stop it doing that ... or to configure knotify4 so it doesn't screw around my audio? | 15:40 |
| dr_willis | HypothesisFrog: you are using KDE correct? | 15:40 |
| HypothesisFrog | dr_willis no I'm using gnome | 15:40 |
| HypothesisFrog | but I use konqueror for certain things | 15:41 |
| syed | update vs upgrade ? | 15:41 |
| dr_willis | syed: updates the list. upgrades the system. | 15:41 |
| Valecri_ | hi, i have a problem with booting windows after i deleted the ubuntu partition. i've tried all of the wikis in the ubuntu site | 15:42 |
| Valecri_ | can anyone help me? | 15:42 |
| kubanc | hellow! anyone familiar with i386_start_kernel+0xaa/0xb1 error. I cannot start Ubuntu Live CD (the only thing i have connected with motherboard is graphic card, RAM, CPU, CD-ROM) | 15:43 |
| syed | here before i used windows 7 & ubuntu using wubi installer but i'm using ubuntu only, can i add windows 7 as a dual os? | 15:43 |
| dr_willis | Valecri_: you have no linux installed at all now? | 15:43 |
| auronandace | Valecri_: that means grub can't work | 15:43 |
| Valecri_ | dr_willis, no, no linux. at this time i'm with a live ubuntu | 15:43 |
| BlueEagle | syed: Did you by chance read the getting started guide for Ubuntu? | 15:43 |
| auronandace | Valecri_: you'll need to install a bootloader | 15:44 |
| HypothesisFrog | dr_willis can't help me? | 15:44 |
| Valecri_ | auronandace, i always have fixed mbr with supergrubdisk, but at this time it doesn't work. now it's called rescatux | 15:44 |
| === rymate1234|away is now known as rymate1234 | ||
| Valecri_ | i've tried with ms-sys, rescatux, supergrubdisk2, nothing works | 15:45 |
| auronandace | Valecri_: it can't work if you want to repair grub. grub needs a linux partition | 15:45 |
| Valecri_ | auronandace, i don't want to fix grub, i want to boot windows | 15:45 |
| syed | <BlueEagle> ok friend but install ubuntu inside the windows is possible i know. but after installing windows in ubuntu is possible? | 15:45 |
| auronandace | Valecri_: then you need to install a different bootloader (and ask in a different channel) | 15:46 |
| Jordan_U | Valecri_: sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mbr && sudo install-mbr /dev/sda | 15:46 |
| syed | <BlueEagle> ok friend but install ubuntu inside the windows is possible i know. but installing windows in ubuntu is possible? | 15:46 |
| dr_willis | HypothesisFrog: cant say ive ever seen the issue. or anyone else with it. check the forums and askubuntu.com perhaps. | 15:46 |
| HypothesisFrog | dr_willis thanks anyway man | 15:46 |
| dr_willis | Valecri_: for help with reinstalling the windows bootloader. you shoudle be asking in #windows | 15:46 |
| dr_willis | Valecri_: there are windows 7/vista rescue iso files from ms. depends on what windoww version as to what commands to do. | 15:47 |
| Valecri_ | Jordan_U, i only want to fix the mbr that i've lost installing ubuntu. ubuntu caused the problem to windows and not the reverse | 15:47 |
| dr_willis | Valecri_: you deleteing the grub files caused the problem. | 15:47 |
| Jordan_U | Valecri_: I just gave you a solution. | 15:47 |
| auronandace | Valecri_: you removed ubuntu and expect grub to work? are you reading what we are typing to you? | 15:48 |
| Valecri_ | Jordan_U, what is the solution? ask in another channel or type the code above? | 15:48 |
| dr_willis | Valecri_: #windows knows how to reinstall the windows bootloader better then we do. | 15:49 |
| Jordan_U | Valecri_: Type the code that I sent you. | 15:49 |
| syed | i want to install win7 now, but i dont want to change ubuntu files.. so can i install win7 without any modification in ubuntu? | 15:49 |
| Valecri_ | auronandace, before today, i was able to fix the mbr, now i don't know what is changed. supergrubdisk or the windows 7 repair disk have always worked fine | 15:49 |
| dr_willis | I just boot my Win7 cd and use a few commands i got off the internet last time i needed to fix it. | 15:49 |
| dr_willis | syed: you would have been netter off to isntall windows first, then ubuntu. | 15:49 |
| Valecri_ | Jordan_U, thanks, i will try it now | 15:49 |
| syed | <dr_willis> ya friend. wrongly i installd ubuntu 1st, i upgraded it. so i cant win7 | 15:50 |
| Jordan_U | Valecri_: If that doesn't work, and you only have one hard drive in the computer, then there is something more wrong and you will need to ask in ##windows. | 15:50 |
| syed | i mis win7 lot | 15:50 |
| dr_willis | syed: i always keep the 2 os's on their own hard drives. :) but if you dont have 2 hd's that makes it harder | 15:50 |
| dr_willis | I miss win7 like one misses a Tooth Ache... | 15:51 |
| saady | what are you saying mr sayed | 15:51 |
| ugo` | Hi all, I'm a bit stuck on a server config problem: I have a vnc server which is working. I have a gateway which I setup as a vnc client, from which I can connect to the vnc server correctly. My problem is that when I try to connect to the vnc from a computer that's behind the gateway, I can't access the computers on the other side of the vnc... I'm not sure where to look. Any help greatly appreciated | 15:51 |
| auronandace | Valecri_: i've told you why the supergrubdisk won't work, as for win7 repair this is the wrong channel to ask about in | 15:51 |
| saady | this is a problem | 15:51 |
| saady | imagritions | 15:51 |
| Valecri_ | Jordan_U, thanks. i hope it will work. supergrubdisk, win7 recovery disk , ms-sys and others didn't... | 15:51 |
| Jordan_U | syed: You can install Windows 7 again, but you'll need to be carefull that the Windows installer preserves Ubuntu's partitions, and you'll need to re-install grub afterward since Windows will overwrite grub. | 15:52 |
| researcher123 | is there a audio recording software in ubuntu? | 15:52 |
| syed | <Jordan_U> its possible? | 15:52 |
| Jordan_U | syed: Yes. | 15:52 |
| saady | yeah reasearcher123 | 15:52 |
| Valecri_ | auronandace, you have not understand me. i'm not asking for help with win7recovery or supergrubdisk... i'm asking for a method. generic method that a linux user maybe knows. Not you, i assume | 15:52 |
| syed | i'm not well known in grub | 15:53 |
| Valecri_ | auronandace, or maybe my english is so poor that i'm not explaining what i want to say :D | 15:53 |
| auronandace | Valecri_: i told you why repairing grub won't work, and i told you an alternative is to install a different bootloader | 15:53 |
| syed | how to re-install grub | 15:54 |
| dr_willis | the best way to repaur the windows bootloader would be with a Windows rescue/recovery/repair disk from MS. they have some you can download legally for free. saw them on the lifehacker blog site. | 15:54 |
| dr_willis | !fixgrub | syed | 15:54 |
| ubottu | syed: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 15:54 |
| === lazy^ is now known as folivora | ||
| Valecri_ | auronandace, i don't want to fix grub! i only want to fix the mbr | 15:54 |
| researcher123 | saady: which software to record my own songs with music track? | 15:54 |
| ugo` | researcher123 did you take a look at audacity? | 15:55 |
| researcher123 | ugo`: just installed audacity | 15:55 |
| dr_willis | grub installs to the mbr Valecri_ part of it is on the mbr.. and part was on the linux partions you deleted | 15:55 |
| researcher123 | now trying | 15:55 |
| auronandace | Valecri_: mbr contains the bootloader (be it grub or a windows bootloader), fixing it is the same as installing a bootloader | 15:56 |
| saady | reasearcher123 it called LMMS | 15:57 |
| Jordan_U | auronandace: dr_willis: I would argue that installing ms-style mbr code to replace grub in the mbr after removing Ubuntu is on topic for this channel. And I've told Valecri_ how to do so already. | 15:57 |
| Jordan_U | (from within an Ubuntu LiveCD) | 15:57 |
| Valecri_ | dr_willis, auronandace: ok, i didn't knew this. So i want to fix the previous bootloader in the mbr, the windows bootloader, i think. | 15:57 |
| syed | thanks friend | 15:58 |
| saady | reasearcher123 : it called LMMS | 15:58 |
| Valecri_ | Jordan_U, yes, i'm from ubuntu live | 15:58 |
| syed | i will catch u later | 15:58 |
| Jordan_U | Valecri_: Have you run the command I gave? Did it finish without any errors? | 15:58 |
| Valecri_ | Jordan_U, yes, i've typed the command but nothing happens | 15:58 |
| Valecri_ | Jordan_U, only an error for the repos, because i'm running a live ubuntu from a pen drive, not a real cd | 15:59 |
| Jordan_U | Valecri_: Can you please pastebin the exact error message? | 15:59 |
| Jordan_U | !pastebin | Valecri_ | 15:59 |

| Valecri_ | ok, thanks for the link | 16:00 |

| operatorplik | hai | 16:01 |
| operatorplik | nolden | 16:02 |
| Jordan_U | Valecri_: OK. The rest of the command should still work despite that error. Please try running "sudo apt-get install mbr && sudo install-mbr /dev/sda" now. | 16:02 |
| dr_willis | !info mbr | 16:02 |
| ubottu | mbr (source: mbr): Master Boot Record for IBM-PC compatible computers.. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.11-4 (oneiric), package size 19 kB, installed size 84 kB | 16:03 |
| operatorplik | jjjj | 16:03 |
| dr_willis | given the variaty of commands/tools ive seen needed from MS for each of their os's - i would be amazed if that worked for them all. :) | 16:03 |
| Jordan_U | dr_willis: For just restoring the mbr and nothing else, which is all that should be needed after what Ubuntu does for a dual boot, this will work for any Windows release. The code in the mbr always just chainloads the first "active" partition in an ms-style mbr. | 16:05 |
| Valecri_ | Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/760575/ there's also a fdisk -l | 16:05 |
| auronandace | Jordan_U: interesting... you learn something new every day | 16:06 |
| dr_willis | Jordan_U: makes me wonder what all the various 'fdisk \mbr' and 'fixboot' 'fixmbr' and otehr commands do.. :) i forget what one even was needed for win7 | 16:07 |
| dr_willis | first active partion may be a recovery partiton :) guess he will find out. | 16:07 |
| Jordan_U | Valecri_: OK. Hopefully if you reboot now you'll be able to access Windows. If not, then something more has gone wrong than what Ubuntu installation and removal of the Ubuntu partition alone will do. | 16:07 |

| Valecri_ | dr_willis, yes, it's a recovery partition but it's useless for me | 16:08 |
| dr_willis | so you need to set the actual windows partiion to be the 'active' partition. | 16:08 |
| harkirt | dr_willis: let me try | 16:08 |
| dr_willis | my recovery partions here have a command line/fix boot options.. :) | 16:09 |

| Wolfsherz | i have installed the fglrx driver for my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650. but the catalyst control center tells me that a HD4200 is installed. | 16:10 |
| auronandace | avdeveloper: you using 11.10? | 16:10 |
| Valecri_ | dr_willis, it will only reset all the pc with all the vaio stuff, like a factory renewed, i don't know how to say | 16:10 |
| avdeveloper | auronandace: yes | 16:10 |
| dr_willis | Valecri_: yes.. its a system recovery/restore partition. | 16:10 |
| avdeveloper | wolfsherz: for some reason the fglrx driver doesn't work for my Radeon HD4200 so I just reverted back to the defautl driver | 16:11 |

| datalay | i installed ubuntu 11.02 , i want to use xfce | 16:11 |
| datalay | how can do that, | 16:11 |
| dr_willis | datalay: install xubuntu-desktop package | 16:11 |
| auronandace | avdeveloper: is gnome-shell messing something up or do you just want to reclaim the space? | 16:11 |
| datalay | i dont like gnome2 | 16:11 |
| datalay | okay | 16:11 |
| dr_willis | datalay: you mean gnome3 ? and 11.04 or 11.10 :) | 16:11 |
| datalay | sorry gnome 3 | 16:11 |
| auronandace | datalay: or you could use xubuntu instead | 16:11 |
| avdeveloper | auronandace: I want to use Gnome-Shell but for some reason, after removing fglrx Gnome-Shell looks like Gnome-Classic | 16:11 |
| datalay | i will use xubuntu | 16:12 |
| datalay | thank you | 16:12 |
| Wolfsherz | avdeveloper: the thing is: i have a hd5650 installed, not a hd4200 like catalyst tells me | 16:12 |
| avdeveloper | Wolfsherz: but are you having any problems with graphics other than the name? | 16:12 |
| Wolfsherz | avdeveloper: actually no, but it seems strange to me | 16:13 |
| datalay | dr_willis, what s you desktop | 16:13 |
| datalay | gnome3? | 16:13 |
| auronandace | avdeveloper: i think it reverts to classic if you don't have the drivers to support gnome3 | 16:13 |
| Wolfsherz | avdeveloper: the amount of memory detected is also wrong of course... | 16:13 |
| avdeveloper | @Wolfsherz: then that is a problem... | 16:13 |

| avdeveloper | auronandace: and when I installed these fglrx drivers, Gnome-shell was screwed up | 16:16 |

| bullgard6 | junglejim: I agree. Before reverting back to 10.04 you could install the package gnome-shell and log out. Before you log in,you could select then "GNOME Classic (No effects" in the login menu. Try this and compare its performance with that of Ubuntu 10.04. | 17:41 |

| Hexxeh | bullgard6: Okay, thanks | 18:21 |
| lapion | lapion | 18:21 |
| Hexxeh | Okay so basically I'd like to use the Wubi bootloader system to boot another OS, but it appears that Wubi uses a loop-mounted ISO image to boot, am I correct? I'd need to boot from a hard disk image, is this possible? | 18:21 |
| lapion | Hexxeh, go read on wubi.. | 18:22 |
| theadmin | Hexxeh: Wubi does boot a raw hard disk image located in C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk | 18:22 |
| junglejim | bullgard6: seems I'm already running Unity 2D - Found this link which shows u how to test: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/how-to-quickly-find-out-if-ubuntu-is-running-unity-3d/ | 18:22 |
| ThinkT510 | Hexxeh: why are you using wubi? can you use a proper ubuntu install instead? | 18:22 |
| BPower | Holy crap. Apparently installing medibuntu removes practically every package including ubuntu-desktop. And now I can't do anything because I'm using likewise (internal domain) for signing in. | 18:22 |
| Hexxeh | ThinkT510: I'm trying to build a Wubi installer for Chromium OS. | 18:22 |
| BPower | I no longer have sudo access because my user doesn't exist | 18:22 |
| Hexxeh | theadmin: Ah, I presume that's MBR partitioned disk? Would a GPT image work? | 18:23 |
| BPower | So I can't do anything to fix it | 18:23 |
| kanupatar | I am using ubuntu 11.10 and my SD card is showing some isuesm, I have to do a file system check on that card? HOW? the SD card is mounted under /media/rootfs* | 18:23 |
| theadmin | Hexxeh: I don't think so... | 18:23 |
| QuaeroScentia | Is it possible to put ubuntu ( or other forms of linux ) on an iPod Classic 6 generation? | 18:23 |
| lapion | BPower, you shouldn't loose all files when adding medibuntu.. | 18:23 |
| Hexxeh | theadmin: Is there somewhere with technical documentation on how Wubi works? If it doesn't support booting GPT, I'd like to add that functionality. | 18:23 |
| BPower | lapion, the files are there, the packages have been removed. | 18:24 |
| bullgard6 | junglejim: So compare this performance with that of your previous Ubuntu 10.04 installation. It should not differ much in my opinion. | 18:24 |
| theadmin | Hexxeh: wubi-installer.org is the place for everything related to it | 18:24 |
| BPower | lapion, but I have no way to reinstall them because my user no longer exists (because likewise was removed) | 18:24 |
| lapion | you removed all other repositories and thus lost all packages | 18:24 |
| lapion | you can allways try to use a console.. | 18:25 |
| BPower | lapion, I can't -- I can't use sudo! | 18:25 |
| lapion | ctrl-alt-f2 | 18:25 |
| BPower | (anymore) | 18:25 |
| lapion | or reboot into safe mode.. | 18:25 |
| BPower | brb | 18:25 |
| junglejim | bullgard6: It's definitely slower :-( but I did find a way to install the old interface now (called ubuntu classic) http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/08/return-to-ubuntu-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/ | 18:25 |
| bullgard6 | junglejim: I tested ubuntu-classic and liked it. If your Unity 2D is definitely slower then I would conclude that there is an implementation error. I told you that I do not know much about Unity. So I cannot suggest a remedy. | 18:28 |

| kanupatar | ActionParsnip: I am a newbie dude :( | 18:45 |
| dr_willis | !fsck | 18:45 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | kanupatar: you will need to run: sudo fdisk -l to show the device name | 18:45 |
| Hexxeh | theadmin: Is it definitely a disk image and not just a partition image? I keep seeing reference to an ext2 disk image, which would suggest it's a partition rather than a full disk | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | kanupatar: everyone is at some point. You learn by doing | 18:46 |
| theadmin | Hexxeh: It's a disk with one partition, and it's ext3 rather than ext2 from what I'm aware. Not so sure tho, I hate wubi (and neither I use Ubuntu, really) | 18:47 |
| kanupatar | ActionParsnip: thanks man | 18:47 |
| kanupatar | ActionParsnip: let me try | 18:47 |
| xro | ActionParsnip, it looks like it's juste based on a hash... which is a really basic solution as it will trigger a lot of false positive (dynamic website and web2.0)... | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kanupatar: you'll see its simple enough :-). Even with no options I think it will do enough. | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Xro: i see | 18:48 |
| Baktun13-desktop | shutdown -r 0 is same as "now" ? | 18:48 |
| Exxon | Baktun13-desktop, shutdown now -h | 18:49 |
| xro | ActionParsnip, i already provide a hash256 based on the webpage code... but now i would like to be more granular and allow the users to set some part as dynamic... so, i thouk about diff and set dynamic part as junk... this way they wont be detected as changed... | 18:50 |

| tanath | crazytrane, o_O | 18:51 |
| edoceo | Hey, just found myself on a Jaunty machine, no sources available on mirror - should do some force update to Lucid? | 18:51 |
| tanath | crazytrane, why did that work? first it was right click, which was good. then it was alt+rightclick, which was stupid... alt+win+rightclick is just nuts | 18:52 |
| crazytrane | lol i agree | 18:52 |
| ThinkT510 | edoceo: better to fresh install | 18:53 |
| theadmin | edoceo: You need to do a fresh install if you're upgrading from a EOL (or do some sorcery with APT, which I strongly recommend against) | 18:53 |
| tanath | crazytrane, who decided to make it worse? >_< | 18:53 |

| ThinkT510 | tanath: ask gnome devs, i'm glad i use xfce | 18:57 |

| ix_ | doesn't anyone here have ubuntu? lol | 18:58 |
| Exxon | tanath, you will get used to it.. | 18:58 |
| tanath | Exxon, to alt+win+rightclick? no, i won't. that's just plain stupid. i will either change it, or change my OS | 18:58 |
| ThinkT510 | ix_: many do, do they often record stuff? different question | 18:58 |
| tanath | Exxon, i've yet to see how to change it | 18:59 |
| theadmin | tanath: Or change your destkop... Try MATE. (pm for details. It's a gnome2 fork) | 18:59 |
| tanath | theadmin, ubuntu has mate too now? | 18:59 |
| theadmin | tanath: No, we don't, Mint does, which is why I suggested to PM xD | 18:59 |
| ix_ | ThinkT510, they don't need to record, just look at the sound and video category | 18:59 |
| theadmin | tanath: It originated from Arch tho so that would work too | 18:59 |

| sichvot | AlanBell you say it's ok.. is there something better? | 19:01 |
| ix_ | oh, got it, gnome-media, you guys are useless | 19:02 |
| AlanBell | sichvot: depends what you mean by better. It is fast, but only one connection at a time, if you want multiple viewers then vnc is the way forward | 19:02 |

| Hexxeh | theadmin: No magic going on in the initrd then? | 19:07 |
| AlanBell | myrmidette: well that is your keyboard mapping file | 19:07 |
| Hexxeh | theadmin: Or special options required in the kernel | 19:07 |
| myrmidette | it didn't exist before, so I created it and added set "completion-ignore-case On" | 19:07 |
| theadmin | Hexxeh: Nah | 19:08 |
| myrmidette | maybe it was looking at some other file for its inputrc before and now it's just looking at my one-line file? | 19:08 |
| AlanBell | myrmidette: just a guess, but I think you have overridden /etc/inputrc | 19:08 |
| AlanBell | myrmidette: copy /etc/inputrc to ~/.inputrc and then append your setting | 19:09 |
| myrmidette | yeah I'll do that | 19:09 |
| myrmidette | stupid of me not to look in /etc | 19:09 |
| venik212 | where do I find a ppd file for a Canon MF6530? Ubuntu 11.10, 64 bits | 19:09 |
| AlanBell | myrmidette: do remember you have done it, if at some point in the future /etc/inputrc gets updated then you won't see the updates | 19:10 |
| myrmidette | it worked thnx :) | 19:10 |
| myrmidette | I just appended what I wanted to /etc/inputrc | 19:10 |

| Hexxeh | theadmin: Usually I'd specify like sdx3 but given it's a loop device loop0 I'm not sure how this works | 19:18 |
| theadmin | Hexxeh: errrr for the kernel you can use the uuid, the label or plain /dev/sd*, same goes to fstab | 19:18 |
| theadmin | Hexxeh: Oh loop0? Well I beleive you might be able to use /dev/loop0 but... | 19:19 |

| sskalnik | trism, Not challenging it, just curious. | 19:49 |
| Athostle | This place is good for questions, right? Need to make sure before I ask. | 19:49 |
| Athostle | :> | 19:49 |
| sskalnik | Athostle, yes | 19:49 |
| Athostle | Thanks. | 19:49 |
| alex116 | sskalnik, because you will surely have create file permissions | 19:49 |
| Athostle | Now, I'm going to dual boot with Ubuntu, | 19:49 |
| sskalnik | alex116, should I not have them in /usr/src? | 19:49 |
| Athostle | I'm using the WuBi installer, and I'm running Windows Vista, | 19:49 |
| alex116 | sskalnik, I'm not sure | 19:50 |
| Athostle | will the Boot Manager open every time I restart my computer, so I can switch through OSs?\ | 19:50 |
| ThinkT510 | Athostle: don't bother with wubi, do a real install | 19:50 |
| trism | sskalnik: /usr/src should in general be used for when system services need to build packages, like dkms. otherwise as alex116 suggests, you would need to mess with the permissions of /usr/src to allow your user to build there | 19:50 |
| Athostle | Too late, I'm at a minute, and I'm horrible with computers, so this seems the safer option. | 19:50 |

| Athostle | Welp, | 19:51 |

| Athostle | Heres hopinh. | 19:51 |
| Athostle | hoping* | 19:51 |
| crupulus | Hey all!, is "lspci -vv" supposed to give details on my wireless card ? If so, where exactly ? because there are like 1000 lines of stuff i don't know anything about. Ty! | 19:52 |
| f0x | how do i boot in recovery mode to a root shell with networking and rw support | 19:52 |
| AlanBell | crupulus: is it a pci card? | 19:52 |
| ThinkT510 | Athostle: partitioning is probably the hardest part (and it is dead easy when you know how); you could mess around with a real ubuntu install inside a vm (to get the hang of partitioning) | 19:52 |
| Athostle | I have Ubuntu in VMWare, | 19:52 |
| crupulus | What do you mean ? | 19:52 |
| Athostle | I'll try messing around with it later, | 19:52 |
| f0x | how do i boot in recovery mode to a root shell with networking and rw support | 19:52 |
| AlanBell | crupulus: first do just lspci, and lsusb and find out where it is before looking at verbose information | 19:53 |
| Athostle | but right now I can't risk the slightest mistake, it could cost me an Xbox for Christmas. My parents are fed up with me altering my possessions. | 19:53 |
| slugzzz | Athostle, the live disk makes it VERY easy to install ubuntu side by side with windows. | 19:53 |
| Athostle | But I read that it has slower speeds, | 19:53 |
| f0x | how do i boot in recovery mode to a root shell with networking and rw support | 19:53 |
| Athostle | and someone told me dual-booting would just be nicer. | 19:53 |
| slugzzz | Right.. that is what I am saying... | 19:54 |
| AlanBell | crupulus: lspci gives information about all the cards plugged in to your pci bus, lsusb gives information about all the things plugged in to USB, your wireless device could be either | 19:54 |
| Athostle | I mean, | 19:54 |
| Athostle | dual-booting when it's on the computer, not a USB/CD | 19:54 |
| crupulus | AlanBell, is it "network controller" ? It says broadcom blabla, that means I have a broadcom wifi card, exact? | 19:54 |
| slugzzz | Okay, make yourself a live disk, and boot from the live disk and install from the live disk. | 19:54 |
| slugzzz | It's really hard to mess up. | 19:54 |
| crupulus | Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 | 19:54 |
| Athostle | Okay, thanks. | 19:54 |
| AlanBell | crupulus: yeah, that sounds about right | 19:54 |
| Athostle | Hmmm, wait. | 19:54 |
| ThinkT510 | Athostle: dual booting is better but not through wubi | 19:55 |
| Athostle | WuBi will work though, right? | 19:55 |
| sskalnik | trism, alex116 Woot, got debuild -S to work in ~ | 19:55 |
| Athostle | Because my installer is already at "Expanding." | 19:55 |
| ThinkT510 | Athostle: wubi is meant to be more of a taster than a solution to a problem | 19:55 |
| trism | sskalnik: excellent, glad it is working now | 19:55 |
| Athostle | Taster is fine, I'm not going to be using Ubuntu all that much. | 19:56 |
| Athostle | I'll be using it enough to not want that USB trial, though. | 19:56 |
| slugzzz | Either way, Athostle, installing with WuBi and partitioning are both very easy. | 19:56 |
| Athostle | Thanks, I just needed to know, though, | 19:57 |
| f0x | how do i boot in recovery mode to a root shell with networking and rw support | 19:57 |
| Athostle | every time I restart my computer (I have to do this properly, can't use my power button, right?) the boot manager will open, is that correct? | 19:57 |

| crupulus | AlanBell, what is the diff between Network Controller and Ethernet controller ? The ethernet one says Realtek Semiconductor, the network says Broadcom. Which one tells me details on my wifi ward please ? | 20:03 |
| inashdeen | How do i edit the ubiquity? | 20:04 |
| ThinkT510 | inashdeen: the ubuntu installer? why do you want to edit it? | 20:04 |
| AlanBell | crupulus: I would suggest pasting the lines into google, but the network controller is likely to be your wireless card ethernet controller will be the wired one | 20:06 |
| AlanBell | inashdeen: rather than releasing your own version why not work on improving Ubuntu? | 20:06 |
| inashdeen | ThinkT510 : i am building my own RGOS ( remastered group of OS) i want to remove the update and install codec option | 20:07 |
| AlanBell | inashdeen: "bzr branch lp:ubiquity" to grab the code and mess about with it | 20:08 |

| sskalnik | Yahosain, your machine wasn't booting into Ubuntu with an account from the DVD . It was booting into the DVD. Mint is based on Ubuntu, so it may have looked like it was your Ubuntu install, but it was not. | 20:26 |

| Yahosain | Oh c'mon,Ubuntu 11.10 and linux mint 11 are very different.What I actually saw was the linux mint boot screen saying "automatic boot in 10 9 ..." and then LightDM boot manager trying to login into an account named mint,which I didnt have the password.so I chose guest account.and it was ubuntu 11.10.and ofcourse it was my HDD because there is no other way it could come from | 20:30 |

| AlanBell | Yahosain: sounds like the Mint DVD decided you would be better off using Ubuntu | 20:32 |
| ThinkT510 | !itunes | callum | 20:32 |
| ubottu | callum: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 20:32 |
| jesper | inashdeen sounds like something is wrong with your Java installation | 20:32 |
| Yahosain | I suppose its a linux mint bug which mounted for example my sda10 filesystem instead of its own filesystem | 20:32 |
| callum | thank you. | 20:32 |
| sskalnik | trism, Thanks, but that doesn't use pbuilder | 20:33 |
| inashdeen | jesper :how do i do clean uninstall and reinstall then? | 20:33 |
| jesper | inashdeen you could try re-installing packages openjdk-6-jre and/or icedtea-plugin | 20:33 |
| Guest48519 | Ubuntu 11.10 has a fast boot up for me on my acer aspire dual core laptop. Performance is better after upgrading to 3.0.0-13-generic kernel. | 20:33 |
| mikepawns | AlanBell didn't work | 20:33 |
| inashdeen | jesper :that gimme openjdk-6-jre is already the newest version. openjdk-6-jre set to manually installed. | 20:34 |
| urthmover | byobu where have you been all my life | 20:34 |
| trism | sskalnik: well, once you have the package, you can use debuild -S and then use pbuilder. my guess looking at the output was that you didn't create the package correctly, most of that guide is about creating a kernel module package using dkms | 20:34 |
| Guest48519 | For those wanting a performance boost--uninstall Libre Office. | 20:35 |
| sskalnik | trism, Yeah, I have done debuild -S and then tried pbuilder | 20:35 |
| jesper | inashdeen you could try removing it (sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6-jre) and then installing it again (sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre) | 20:36 |

| doc|work | guntbert: that's why I said he should read the man page | 21:15 |
| AlanBell | klj613: so if you want to allow other (people who are not the owner or in the group owner) read access then you want to to chmod o+r filename | 21:15 |
| guntbert | doc|work: we are supposed to be really helpful and not give possibly dangerous advice | 21:15 |

| KettleCooked | This here "Dash Home", new in Ubuntu 11. Can I move it down to bottom? | 21:21 |
| xangua | there is an alternative launcher plugin that shows in the bottom KettleCooked, but is not officialy supported http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-customise-unity-like-never-before/ | 21:21 |
| AlanBell | klj613: you might want to change the owner of the file using chown klj613:www-data filename, that would make you the owner and www-data the group owner (the middle g set of rwx permissions) | 21:21 |
| KettleCooked | xangua: thanks. I'm using Ubuntu on my 2nd monitor to the right and have the menu on the left is really problematic that way | 21:21 |
| klj613 | AlanBell: thanks, exactly what i needed :) | 21:22 |
| xangua | KettleCooked: ooh you mean to MOVE the launcher between monitors¿ i don't think you can do that....for now | 21:22 |
| jesper | KettleCooked yes you can put the dash at the bottom see for example http://123linuxtutorials.com/ubuntu-tutorials/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-the-bottom-of-the-screen-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ | 21:25 |
| KettleCooked | xangua: no kinda what jespers link hinted at, I'm half into the first link you posted though | 21:26 |
| KettleCooked | just in this one monitor, it's in a virtual machine | 21:26 |

| bowikaxu_ | Hi there | 21:29 |
| bowikaxu_ | any of you has knowledge of ubuntu clobber? | 21:29 |
| Jonii | how does ubuntu compare to the other distros in reliability? | 21:29 |
| guntbert | !ot | Jonii | 21:29 |
| ubottu | Jonii: #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! | 21:30 |
| trollax0r | how does a ford pinto compare to a chevy nova? | 21:30 |
| Jonii | i dont know what either of those is | 21:30 |
| trollax0r | i rest my case | 21:30 |
| KettleCooked | If I'm missing /dev/dsp, what can I do to find it? Want to record audio from /dev/dsp with ffmpeg, but perhaps running Ubuntu in Virtual Machine is problematic for this? I have audio in the system, can play youtube videos etc.. | 21:30 |
| bowikaxu_ | i recently installed a server with clobber but i am not able to attach any instance | 21:30 |
| trollax0r | my laptop fan won't stop | 21:31 |
| trollax0r | i'm using an asus | 21:31 |
| bowikaxu_ | any good tutorial, doc, forum about clobber? | 21:31 |
| Jonii | okay, so, the question related to ubuntu is, is there a way to stop ubuntu 11.10 from crashing all the time, and as a bonus question, does anyone know if it's crashing so much because linux itself is unreliable, or because of stuff thats ubuntu-specific? | 21:34 |

| trollax0r | I recommend installing mirc under wine | 21:34 |
| guntbert | trollax0r: stop | 21:35 |
| sskalnik | trollax0r, not cool | 21:35 |
| trollax0r | ?? just giving advise | 21:35 |
| callum | when im in the terminal. i need to put sudo in front of my commands. it ask for my password, but when it does i cant type anything. why is that? | 21:35 |
| trollax0r | that's how i roll | 21:35 |
| trollax0r | on irc | 21:35 |
| trollax0r | on this mircd | 21:35 |
| sskalnik | callum, you won'r see that password, but it is accepting the characters you type | 21:36 |
| callum | oh ok thanks. | 21:36 |
| sskalnik | callum, It's a security measure so that someone can't look over your shoulder and see how long the password is | 21:36 |
| alessioalex | ronaldo | 21:36 |
| sskalnik | callum, np | 21:36 |
| Jonii | first it usually just freezes the keyboard until i press some control sequence like alt-tab, but after 2-4 of those, i cant no longer change the focus of window system | 21:37 |
| sskalnik | Jonii, what happens up to that point? | 21:37 |
| sskalnik | Jonii, when is it freezing? | 21:37 |
| Myrtti | trollax0r: please be helpful when helping, if you don't have anything sensible to say, be quiet or leave. | 21:37 |
| KettleCooked | Is there any way to reboot your computer but keep the current 'uptime'? I've gone so long, don't want to reset it.. | 21:38 |
| Jonii | ctrl-alt-f1 + ctrl-alt-f7 usually helps once or twice, but after that, theres nothing and i have to restart | 21:38 |
| sskalnik | KettleCooked, why are you rebooting? | 21:38 |
| pp7 | LOL | 21:38 |
| pangolin | KettleCooked: no | 21:38 |
| trollax0r | Myrtti: how is telling him to try another client not helpful. His question was about his irc session being unreliable. | 21:38 |
| pp7 | KettleCooked: keeping uptime just for showing off? :P | 21:38 |
| KettleCooked | sskalnik: I have to install a PCI audio card | 21:38 |
| sskalnik | trollax0r, the advice you gave was very bad | 21:38 |
| callum | and one more thing. i have some music on my external memoery card. i import it into banshee and when i click on a song it wont play. the music plays perfectly fine in audacious. why is this happening? | 21:38 |
| sskalnik | KettleCooked, In that case, there's probably no good method for messing with the uptime | 21:39 |
| Jonii | sskalnik: im just typing stuff, then suddenly all the control goes away | 21:39 |
| KettleCooked | :) I'm just pulling your legs guys.. my treat. But I have a small server in a corner at home here which has been up for 69 days and I have to shut it down, and the thought crossed my mind | 21:39 |
| sskalnik | KettleCooked, :P | 21:39 |
| usacomputertec | does anyone know the minimum system req for Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit ? | 21:39 |
| KettleCooked | the mere thought felt stupid, but good stupid, perfect for irc chat | 21:39 |
| sskalnik | KettleCooked, If it's a server and needs reboot for kernel updates, you could check out ksplice | 21:40 |
| pp7 | KettleCooked: lol | 21:40 |
| usacomputertec | 32 bit needs 384 | 21:40 |
| KettleCooked | 22:34:43 up 69 days, 5:39, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01 | 21:40 |
| trollax0r | sskalnik: mirc is very stable and msl is a more versatile scripting platform | 21:40 |
| pp7 | KettleCooked: why do u have to shut it down? | 21:40 |
| sskalnik | KettleCooked, I understand; I get ticked when my uptime gets reset | 21:40 |
| pp7 | sskalnik: me too, makes me feel like my system is not stable :P | 21:40 |
| KettleCooked | pp7: I'm putting a new audio card into it, gonna play with ffmpeg and have it record/process guitar soudn on demand via web browser | 21:40 |
| Myrtti | trollax0r: there are linux native clients to suggest, no need to suggest something that requires and extra layer just to get stuff working. | 21:41 |
| usacomputertec | does anyone even know? | 21:41 |
| Myrtti | trollax0r: moving on. | 21:41 |
| Jonii | alt-tab might help, but occasionally it fails to give that window switcher. at that point, i usually find that theres no way to minimize the window or to bring another window to top | 21:41 |
| sskalnik | trollax0r, please troll elsewhere. See what Myrtti said. | 21:41 |
| callum | and one more thing. i have some music on my external memoery card. i import it into banshee and when i click on a song it wont play. the music plays perfectly fine in audacious. why is this happening? | 21:41 |
| trollax0r | Myrtti: But, how is that not sound advice? When installing wlan drivers, you end up emulating ndis and using windows drivers | 21:41 |
| trollax0r | how is this any different? | 21:41 |
| trollax0r | just a different part of the osi stack | 21:42 |
| === kindlinger is now known as Simple | ||
| Myrtti | trollax0r: because there's no need to suggest mirc as the first option when there is other linux native applications available. with wlan cards that have nothing else than ndis available, there is no choice. | 21:42 |
| Myrtti | trollax0r: now, seriously, moving on. | 21:42 |
| Jonii | but then usually switching to another virtual terminal helps to resolve the problems window system is having | 21:42 |
| sskalnik | Jonii, so the loss of control is seemingly random? | 21:43 |
| Jonii | unless it doesnt, and at that point nothing i know helps | 21:43 |
| Jonii | sskalnik: always when im typing, i think | 21:43 |
| sskalnik | Jonii, tried other keyboards or keymaps? Might sound crazy, but I have to wonder if something is being pressed that triggers the issue | 21:44 |
| Jonii | i am unsure if these different ways of freezing are related | 21:44 |
| Jonii | sskalnik: this is a netbook | 21:44 |

| jschall | How do I display the upcoming slide on my laptop's display in libreoffice impress? | 23:15 |
| AlanBell | jschall: you need the presenter console | 23:15 |
| AlanBell | libreoffice-presenter-console is the package name | 23:16 |
| jschall | AlanBell: yeah i clicked extensions and then clicked get extensions on the web and then searched for presenter and it's not available there but i'll try that package | 23:17 |
| AlanBell | jschall: yeah, the one in the repos works great, it has countdown clock, shows you notes, and thumbnails of current and next slides | 23:17 |
| gerard007 | hi allemaal | 23:18 |
| AlanBell | might just be a clock rather than a countdown, can't remember exactly | 23:18 |
| jschall | AlanBell: wow it's really awesome | 23:19 |
| jschall | AlanBell: how do i edit the notes for slides? | 23:19 |
| Si2100 | Hey | 23:20 |
| AlanBell | jschall: just the notes tab above the slide in the main view | 23:20 |

| lauratika | hi, cant change owner ship "Input/Oput error". im using sudo chown -R user:user /home/myusername. what can be wrong? | 23:21 |
| === manu is now known as Guest8329 | ||
| AlanBell | lauratika: something wrong with the disk? read only perhaps? | 23:22 |
| AlanBell | lauratika: does it work without the -R? (i.e. just doing the top level directory) if it does then it might be recursing into a gvfs remote mount or something like that if user is logged on | 23:23 |
| lauratika | no my problem is that i cant connect to any radio stations or software centre or ubuntu server... only if im root this works but no prob conecting with my account to internet | 23:23 |

| djskidd | Oops. Sorry guys, normally this autoconnects to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 23:25 |
| atdiehm_lappy | so, I have 11.10 with a 3.2 kernel, should I ask my question in here, or +1 ... | 23:25 |
| misaq | help | 23:25 |
| pp7 | just ask! | 23:25 |
| lauratika | alanbell: without -R brings me bacl mekabox@lauratika but still cant connect to radio stations or download any appliocation from the software center | 23:25 |
| Tibuktian | hey | 23:26 |
| Tibuktian | how can i check what my gpu is? | 23:26 |
| misaq | pp7: sorry. I am just in need for sleep. I am dying | 23:26 |
| Tibuktian | version and vendor | 23:26 |
| AlanBell | lauratika: ok, so it is something in your user directory it can't read/write to, or change ownership of probably a remote mount | 23:26 |
| pp7 | lspci | 23:26 |
| Jordan_U | Tibuktian: lspci | grep VGA | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Tibuktian: sudo lshw -C display | 23:26 |
| atdiehm_lappy | well I upgraded to kernel 3.2 because I was instructed in forums to upgrade to 3.2 to get support for my touchpad, however, now the right click button won't register, and the left click doesn't work with dragging ... and I don't know where to go to try and debug this | 23:27 |
| AlanBell | lauratika: maybe try from a terminal (ctrl+alt+F1) when logged out from the GUI | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | atdiehm_lappy: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 23:27 |
| AlanBell | lauratika: any reason why you think it is a permissions/ownership problem? | 23:27 |
| atdiehm_lappy | oneiric ? | 23:27 |
| atdiehm_lappy | ActionParsnip, ^ | 23:28 |
| atdiehm_lappy | I said I was on 11.10 earlier I thought | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | atdiehm_lappy: you are using a 3rd party kernel, which isn't supported here | 23:28 |
| atdiehm_lappy | that's why I asked if I should ask in +1 :-p | 23:28 |
| * atdiehm_lappy joins #ubuntu+1 | 23:28 | |
| atdiehm_lappy | dammit sorry | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | atdiehm_lappy: could try, but I doubt it | 23:28 |
| wizonesolutions | I'm mounting a Windows partition using NTFS-3G, and it seems like no matter which options I specify, I can't get read/write access to the files. | 23:30 |
| lauratika | alanbell: because if im root and launch banshee or terminal it can connect to internet radio or ubuntu server | 23:31 |
| wizonesolutions | I don't think I'm using advanced and I haven't created a UserMapping file or anything. And other NTFS mounts (both partitions and external drives) are working fine. | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | wizonesolutions: if its an internl partition, you can add a lin in /etc/fstab to mount it at boot with decent access methods as you need | 23:32 |
| melki | Hi everyone, How do i setup a hotspot on ubuntu? | 23:33 |
| wizonesolutions | ActionParsnip: Yes, I did that, but I still can't seem to get it to mount with permissions that allow writing. | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | wizonesolutions: what line did you add? | 23:35 |
| agentgasmask | Hi all. Looking to build a server with a SuperMicro x8dali motherboard. I'm deciding to use the onboard motherboard raid array, or build it in software with mdadm. Are there monitoring tools for supermicro raid controlers (onboard)? | 23:35 |
| pp7 | you're better off with hardware RAID | 23:36 |
| macPawns | can someone help me | 23:38 |
| macPawns | my touchpad isn't being recognized on livecd | 23:38 |

| mrdeb | hi | 23:39 |
| netninja | I had ubuntu (11.10) working great on my laptop, then I upgraded to 8gb of ram. Now when I hibernate, it shuts down (or at least, when I turn the machine back on, it fresh-boots), and when I suspend, the video driver doesn't reinitialize when I turn the machine back on. Thoughts? | 23:39 |
| macPawns | hp dm4-2181 | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: is the ram healthy? | 23:40 |
| macPawns | it worked before | 23:40 |
| macPawns | then it stopped to | 23:40 |
| netninja | ActionParsnip: I see no reason to think not; brand new, laptop is running fine, ram diagnostics come up clean, Windows partition has no issues. | 23:40 |
| macPawns | day* | 23:40 |
| netninja | ActionParsnip: I'm new to desktop implementations of linux; been running server for a while (CentOS) -- should I use the ram test option at the grub loader? I'm assuming that's what it's for? | 23:41 |
| melki | Hi everyone, How do i setup a hotspot on ubuntu 11.10 with gnome 3? the networkmanager keeps on self disconnecting after around 5 seconds (sometimes less). | 23:41 |
| netninja | ActionParsnip or Others: would the suspend problem with the video driver not initializing be a symptom of faulty ram? | 23:42 |
| wizonesolutions | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/DsLmye9a | 23:43 |
| pp7 | netninja: remove the other old ram stick and find out | 23:43 |
| netninja | pp7: improper assumption; I had a 2-gig stick, now I have two 4-gig sticks. | 23:44 |
| pp7 | netninja: i c | 23:44 |
| pp7 | netninja: well remove one stick at a time to see if its a RAM problem | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: new doesn't mean it's automatically good | 23:44 |
| netninja | pp7: I appreciate the thought though | 23:44 |
| netninja | ActionParsnip: that's true. So, should I do as I asked? | 23:44 |
| tjkent | I am having some trouble opening up synaptic, when I try to open it from terminal it says out of range | 23:45 |

| netninja | ActionParsnip: uuh, on other servers, yes, but not on the machine in question. | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: ok, hold shift at boot and select memtest86 and test the ram | 23:46 |

| kanhiya | I noticed one thing In uBUNTU that is Ubuntu provides less battery backup than Windows | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | macPawns: is there a shortcut to enable / disable the touchpad? | 23:47 |
| agentgasmask | pp7: I'm sure I am, but are there any monitoring tools for ubuntu that are compatable with supermicro? | 23:47 |
| kanhiya | i am using only firefox and pidgin in both cases | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: yes before grub loads or shows | 23:47 |
| pp7 | agentgasmask: no idea | 23:48 |
| netninja | ok I did, but it loaded the same menu, and it's in the menu also | 23:48 |
| tjkent | does anyone know how I can fix synaptic so that it isn't our of range it says vector::_M_range_check | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | kanhiya: probably some proprietary acpi crap. Are there any bugs reported? | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tjkent: does software centre work ok? | 23:48 |
| klj613 | how can i make any files uploaded by a specific user automatically have ownership theuser:www-data ? | 23:48 |
| tjkent | yea | 23:48 |

| gua | i know it's totally not recommended, but in a no-win scenario, would it be better to install the virtualbox deb for debian lenny or for ubuntu 8.04 on ubuntu 9.10? | 23:49 |
| tjkent | ActionParsnip: yes it does | 23:49 |
| agentgasmask | Does anyone know wether there are raid monitoring tools for SuperMicro motherboards under linux? | 23:49 |
| kanhiya | ActionParsnip: How do solve that problem | 23:49 |
| wizonesolutions | ActionParsnip: Was wondering if you'd have a chance to take a look at the link...if not it's OK, just lmk | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | gua: there is an ubuntu repo if you want closed source virtualbox | 23:50 |
| kanhiya | ActionParsnip: I noticed that CPU usage is high in case of Ubuntu while in Windows it is only 1-2 % | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | kanhiya: see if there are bugs reported | 23:50 |
| pp7 | kanhiya: when doing nothing? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | agentgasmask: Have you contacted supermicro? | 23:50 |
| gua | ActionParsnip: but not with the latest release for 9.10 | 23:50 |
| pp7 | kanhiya: what's using the CPU? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | macPawns: try running: synclient AreaBottomEdge=3500 | 23:50 |
