| wizonesolutions | ActionParsnip: We're both talking about ntfs-3g yeah? Just to confirm. Also, does NTFS-3G treat internal partitions different than external hard drives? I've got a couple externals that are mounting fine on another box, and actually other internal partitions too...dunno what's...different about this one! | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| kanhiya | I found that Ubuntu 11.10 is just a crap of mind | 00:00 |
| kanhiya | waste time in finding solutions of bugs | 00:00 |
| kanhiya | So manu bugs | 00:00 |
| kanhiya | many | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | wizonesolutions: the location of the partition is moot, as long as it is seen correctly by the kernel, all access is abstracted by the kernel. | 00:00 |
| wizonesolutions | ActionParsnip: Anyway, no luck with those options either. I put them in exactly as you wrote them. | 00:01 |
| kanhiya | Waiting for LTS and will be last linux Distro , i will try otherwise will switch to Windows | 00:01 |
| wizonesolutions | ActionParsnip: Good to know. Probably diff NTFS-3G versions then is what's throwing me off | 00:01 |
| tjkent | wizonesolutions: what is your problem now? | 00:01 |
| wizonesolutions | ActionParsnip: All I needed on my home server was uid=<username>,gid=<groupname> and I was golden. But that doesn't seem to be enough here. | 00:02 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: Trying to get write access as my normal user to an NTFS partition. | 00:02 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: AKA, trying to mount it as such. | 00:02 |
| wizonesolutions | s/as/with | 00:02 |
| tjkent | you can't mount it at all? | 00:02 |
| tjkent | when you try to mount it does it say that it is busy or can you not even see it? | 00:03 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: I mount it, but it basically ignores anything I specify about permissoins. | 00:03 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: Mounting works. But the permissions are not as I want. | 00:03 |
| tjkent | I am assuming that you are dual booting? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | wizonesolutions: try changing ntfs-3g to auto | 00:04 |
| KFP | Hi there. I just upgraded my graphics card, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. | 00:04 |
| wizonesolutions | ActionParsnip: You mean for the filesystem basically? | 00:05 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: Yep, dual-booting. | 00:05 |
| tjkent | what is wrong with the permissions are you not able to write anything to it? | 00:05 |
| agentgasmask | ActionParsnip: No, I'll have to do that. I thought there might be 3rd party raid tools that would work with it. | 00:05 |
| netninja | wizonesolutions: not to be smart, I'm joining the convo in the middle, but did you just try "sudo mount /dev/<whatever> /<mountpoint>"? Doesn't that default to auto? | 00:06 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: File/directory ownership. Users is owned by root/root, so I can't cd in or see anything. | 00:06 |
| macPawns | can anyone help me get my touchpad recognized | 00:06 |

| marabi2 | hello netninja sup | 00:06 |
| KFP | My old graphics card was an Nvidia GF 8500GT and the new one is an Nvidia GTX550 Ti. When I try to use the Nvidia proprietary drivers, the computer refuses to start X, saying "kernel module NVIDIA not found". | 00:06 |
| netninja | sup | 00:06 |
| tjkent | well I got one way that you can do it, but I don't use ntfs-3g | 00:06 |
| tjkent | and I am able to do everything | 00:06 |
| tjkent | also it mounts when it boots | 00:07 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: If it's safe...then I don't really care if it's ntfs-3g or not. | 00:07 |
| wizonesolutions | netninja: pretty sure that won't do it but humoring you, one sec. | 00:07 |
| netninja | sorry :/ | 00:07 |
| tjkent | yea it is safe | 00:07 |
| netninja | just brainstorming | 00:08 |
| wizonesolutions | netninja: No prob, appreciate it. It didn't work :( | 00:08 |

| ActionParsnip | KFP: did you remove the driver before switching the hardware | 00:08 |
| aikInsaan|home | hi | 00:08 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: OK so shoot | 00:08 |
| tjkent | pm'd it to you | 00:08 |
| aikInsaan|home | how does one get to the Ubuntu GUI from bash shell? | 00:08 |
| wizonesolutions | ActionParsnip: Changing to auto wouldn't do it since netninja's suggestion didn't work. | 00:09 |
| tjkent | I wrote the whole thing for my school so I know that it works | 00:09 |
| netninja | aikInsaan: "startx"? | 00:09 |
| KFP | ActionParsnip: Uh, I removed it afterwards. ._. Then reinstalled. | 00:09 |
| tjkent | wizonesolutions: did you get it? | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | KFP: did you reboot so that you were using the open driver for a spell? | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | KFP: you may want to add the xorg edgers updates ppa (not the xorg edgers itself) and instal the 285 driver | 00:10 |
| marabi2 | hi ring2 sup | 00:11 |
| kevin_ | hi all. any way i can default /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and ip_dynaddr to "1"? or do i have to just set it to 1 always in an init.d script | 00:12 |
| KFP | ActionParsnip: I think I'm using the open driver now (I deleted xorg.conf after X refused to start. Now I'm in X but not using the Nvidia driver.) | 00:12 |
| Kimble | Hi. I'm trying to grant write permissions to a CIFS share to a user. The share is mounted thusly in fstab: user=transmission%,noatime,nodiratime,rw,noexec,_netdev,sync. Transmission is the user I want to be able to write to the share. But it keeps getting a permission denied error. Ideas? | 00:12 |
| netninja | wizonesolutions: try mounting with these options: "rw,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000" | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | KFP: does: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver show: driver=nouveau | 00:13 |
| crazytrane | kevin_, i believe /etc/sysctl.conf is where you should look | 00:13 |
| netninja | wizonesolutions: remembering to mount with 3g ntfs | 00:13 |
| crazytrane | just add "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" | 00:14 |
| crazytrane | might even be there already | 00:14 |
| wizonesolutions | netninja: Just tried similar with normal ntfs, will try with ntfs-3g (cc tjkent) | 00:15 |
| wizonesolutions | This is totally funky :D | 00:15 |
| wizonesolutions | oh yeah, one thing to revise from my original statement because I guess NTFS-3G has moved on from what I knew. xattrs and POSIX ACLs *are* enabled | 00:16 |
| wizonesolutions | it's by default, it seems | 00:16 |
| netninja | wizonesolutions: yeah, when I mount my Win8 partition from unity, it mounts this way automatically | 00:16 |
| wizonesolutions | but that may be interfering somehow | 00:16 |
| KFP | ActionParsnip: It doesn't show anything at all. :\ (well, it shows "sysfs (PCI)" for a bit but that disappears after a couple of seconds. | 00:16 |
| kevin_ | crazytrane: great. thanks a lot | 00:16 |
| KFP | Er, "PCI (sysfs)". | 00:16 |
| crazytrane | no prob | 00:17 |
| aikInsaan|home | how does one get to the Ubuntu GUI from bash shell? | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | KFP: ok then try: sudo lshw -C display | 00:17 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: You mentioned rebooting in PM, I just don't understand why I can't umount and then mount -a. What cached data or whatever is getting reinitialized upon reboot? Doesn't it just read from /etc/fstab like mount -a does? | 00:17 |
| netninja | aikInsaan: startx | 00:17 |
| KFP | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/8VpZbtyW | 00:18 |
| aikInsaan|home | how does one get to the Ubuntu GUI from bash shell? | 00:18 |
| tjkent | wizonesolutions: fstab is read when your system boots | 00:18 |
| wizonesolutions | netninja: No luck on those options either :/ | 00:18 |
| netninja | wizonesolutions: wow. tjkent is right: are you adding this in fstab and then "mount -a"? | 00:19 |
| wizonesolutions | tjkent: Yeah mount -a and normal mount commands also check it if for example I type "mount /mnt/windows" <--- my mount point | 00:19 |
| tjkent | aikInsaan|home: startx | 00:19 |
| JetJaguarXP | aikInsaan|home The Ubuntu GUI should launch automatically | 00:19 |
| wizonesolutions | netninja: Yeah, I umount first | 00:19 |
| aikInsaan|home | tjkent: that doest work | 00:19 |
| tjkent | aikInsaan|home: what is the error | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | KFP: looks good, add the repo and install nvidia-current to get the 295 driver | 00:20 |
| wizonesolutions | netninja: And it *does* get mounted again, so it's responding somehow. I don't see how it could only be half-responding, hence my question about what is different about rebooting if both methods are reading the same file. | 00:20 |
| MaynardJKeenan | hi | 00:20 |
| bobweaver | hello there I was looking aroung the net looking for top ten things to do after install ubuntu install. and Have found some cool stuff. but I guess I would like to hear from you also. Like what do you install after installing ubuntu. also I am having some troubles with my nvidia (02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200M G] [10de:0845] (rev a2)) I can not seem to get anything to record the desktop, | 00:20 |
| bobweaver | correctly that is. also my interneal mic will not work here is alsa for that http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c862089cec79175cfa218c69e04a720c4460136d | 00:20 |
| KFP | ActionParsnip: System -> Administration -> Additional drivers says that the Nvidia (version current) driver is in use, but when I try "Nvidia X Server Settings" it says it's currently not in use. :/ | 00:20 |
| MaynardJKeenan | if I instal the wireless drivers of my laptop through the software center | 00:21 |
| MaynardJKeenan | <MaynardJKeenan> should this fix my wireless problems? | 00:21 |
| tjkent | wizonesolutions: it worked for me | 00:21 |
| netninja | wizonesolutions: I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but if you "sudo umount /<mountpoint>" and then edit your fstab with the options I suggested, then "sudo mount -a" that should reload your fstab... is that what you're saying doesn't work, after you put what I suggested ("rw,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000") into fstab? | 00:21 |
| bobweaver | Oh also I have xorgers repo and nvidia current | 00:21 |
| KFP | "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." <--- But when I do that, it refuses to start X. | 00:21 |
| aikInsaan|home | tjkent: it says '-bash: startx: command not found' | 00:21 |
| wizonesolutions | netninja: That's exactly what I've been doing, yep. | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | KFP: but did you add the repo? | 00:21 |
| netninja | aikInstaan: did you install the server version, or a version without GUI? | 00:21 |
| netninja | wizonesolutions: :( sorry, that'd be my gamble-best-bet. anything in logs? | 00:22 |
| aikInsaan|home | tjkent: installed an ubuntu image | 00:22 |
| tjkent | aikInsaan|home: uname -a | 00:22 |

| aikInsaan|home | hmm.....life getting excited | 00:35 |
| aikInsaan|home | so I should install mono and apache server and mercurial and everything else via the CLI | 00:36 |

| JoseP | aikInsaan|home, I had a windows server | 00:38 |
| JoseP | never worked | 00:38 |
| bobweaver | OffGridOps: this is what rfkill list does if it say softblock yes then there is a software trouble . if it say hard block there is a hardware swich that is blocking it | 00:38 |

| aikInsaan|home | so there need to be code changes if I want to run on mono?? | 00:38 |
| Pici | somsip: there might need to be some | 00:38 |
| Pici | VinZe_DiamoNd: /join #ubuntu-es | 00:38 |
| JoseP | VinZe_DiamoNd, mira, hay un canal para espanol. creo que es #Ubuntu-es | 00:38 |
| somsip | Pici: not me mate | 00:38 |
| Pici | somsip: oops, sorry ;) | 00:39 |
| Pici | aikInsaan|home: there might need to be some | 00:39 |

| monohedron | looking for a way to load an image straight into the clipboard | 00:40 |
| OffGridOps | @bobweaver: so i am seeing the wireless light on the keyboard with a blue light (f12 key). What I don't know how to do is turn the hard block from off to on I guess | 00:40 |
| bobweaver | OffGridOps: you said it was a cq57 ? | 00:40 |
| OffGridOps | yes sir. profiled it on the thread above. brand new. wifi worked with the stick | 00:40 |

| VinZe_DiamoNd | nadie me contesta pero graciasx | 00:41 |
| OffGridOps | wait one. weird thing happened when i hit f12 | 00:41 |
| aikInsaan|home | Pici: what sort of changes are we looking at...?? | 00:42 |
| bobweaver | OffGridOps: cool look at rfkill list again is hard block still blocked ? | 00:42 |
| OffGridOps | @bobweaver: communicating via wireless now. does this mean that each time i want to use the wireless I need to click the f12? it seems odd that the blue light on the key stays blue whether it is on or off. | 00:43 |

| monohedron | thanks can't retrieve channel list | 00:45 |
| netninja | monohedron: load it... from where? | 00:45 |
| monohedron | a file | 00:45 |
| netninja | monohedron: ugh. so, right-click and hit copy? | 00:46 |
| monohedron | or even pipe it into clipbrd | 00:46 |
| monohedron | programatically | 00:46 |
| M4dD0G | bobweaver: no il go see if i can get it thanx..! | 00:46 |
| monohedron | ... | 00:46 |
| netninja | monhohedron: I"m trying to get you to refine your question with more relevant details :) | 00:46 |
| OffGridOps | @bobweaver: so no it is not. i disconnected the wifi by f12 and then had to mash it a bunch of times to get it back on. i believe that the f12 is the key here and that some kind of work needs to be done to turn the light off and on or it will always be a mess and maybe notations put in about the cq57 | 00:46 |
| kierkkadon | So while trying out Darwinia (could use a little more helpful tutorial, imo) it crashed and froze.

| kierkkadon | Apparently, to GNOME 2. When I had been using 3. | 00:46 |

| StepNjump | Hi guys, up until recently, my computer was working well. Yesterday it told me I only had 1.5 GB left available on my partition and now it's down at 3.5 MB.. Strangely enough, I think I have plenty of room. I tried du -sh, looked at gparted... I think my home partition is on the same partition as / anyone could help? | 00:54 |
| binMonkey | funnyfingers: i don't think so. i can run it from the terminal using ./adom. but addiing /home/binMonkey/adom/adom or ./adom to a launcher does nothing but open up a terminal. | 00:54 |

| crazytrane | that is an easy way to do it | 00:59 |
| StepNjump | sudoman, yes I have a lot of other partitions... | 00:59 |
| Kimble | crazytrane: looking it up now. Ta. | 00:59 |
| crazytrane | if you like the gui, otherwise chkconfig will work too | 00:59 |

| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: paste the entire output of "df -h" to pastebin.org and post the link | 01:00 |
| crazytrane | oh yeah | 01:02 |
| stinkfist | when i write sudo lshw -C network in the terminal they ask for password | 01:02 |
| crazytrane | chkconfig | 01:02 |
| stinkfist | what password are they asking for exactly ? | 01:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stinkfist: you are using "sudo" which asks for YOUR password to perform adminstrative actions | 01:02 |

| L3d | can someone explain to me how to add the xvba lines in etc/env ,cause i keep getting errors ,and i dont know if i need to justify and what not :/ | 01:02 |
| DarwinSurvivor | stinkfist: what do you mean by "never lets you finish"? | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | DarwinSurvivor: could use: df -h | pastebinit | 01:02 |
| bobweaver | M4dD0G: after that run : ./autosh.sh then ./configure then make then make install | 01:02 |
| borillion | um how do you grep for things like symbols ex '->cow | 01:02 |
| Pici | stinkfist: for security reasons, it won't echo back asterisks or anything when you type your password. | 01:02 |

| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: good lord, why so many unused partitions? you have 10 partitions split between 2 drives and only appear to be using 1 of them (plus swap).... | 01:06 |
| Pici | L3d: Just type the lines in there that you need and save and you're done. What part of it are you having issues with? | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | DarwinSurvivor: true but very worthwhile | 01:06 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: do you dual-boot into a bunch of other distros/os's? | 01:06 |
| brightspark | Hi, the icons for my volume and network connection (maverick; in the notification area) do not reflect my current icon theme. How can I fix this? | 01:06 |
| brightspark | gtk-update-icon-cache: The generated cache was invalid. | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | brightspark: could try logoff then logon | 01:06 |
| StepNjump | DarwinSurvivor.. I know... I need to recover the files from those old installations! I'm a real organization nightmare.. I know! | 01:06 |
| L3d | xvba needs to work with vaapi man .. | 01:06 |
| StepNjump | DarwinSurvivor, no! not even... just ntfs that I'm slowly phasing out too | 01:07 |
| StepNjump | I'm a work in progress | 01:07 |
| L3d | keep getting errors at the vainfo | 01:07 |
| brightspark | ActionParsnip, thanks. This has persisted across reboots for some time now. When I actually open power management it uses the correct icon, but not in the tray. | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | brightspark: does it affect all themes? | 01:08 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: well, bottom line: you are using a 35GB partition for *everything* in ubuntu and have 8.1GB of that left (line 2). try "sudo apt-get clean" as sudoman suggested | 01:08 |
| bobweaver | M4dD0G: http://paste.ubuntu.com/761101/ <-- take that and copy to gedit then name garmin-script and put in home dirctory. then open terminal and do a chmod +x garmin-script then run ./garmin-script | 01:08 |
| tjkent | I can't get my printer to show up in ubuntu | 01:08 |
| StepNjump | Yes I have done this DarwinSurvivor.. Haven't seen the error since | 01:09 |
| tjkent | I have downloaded the driver but it won't show up under printers, | 01:09 |
| L3d | ok so i dont know hwta im doing wrong ,cant i just use synaptic for all this extra work ?? | 01:09 |
| brightspark | ActionParsnip, yes. I see the icon for the volume control and the logoff/shutdown menu change but not the icons for volume or network. | 01:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: it probably wasn't an error at all. the apt cache can EASILY take up multiple GigaBytes of space if not cleaned after a few months of updates | 01:09 |
| StepNjump | DarwinSurvivor, which partition contains my grub info (/boot)? | 01:09 |
| M4dD0G | bobweaver: ok thanks. will try it now. theres something wrong with svn. don't forget im not using ubuntu, but maemo5. | 01:10 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: if you didn't set it manually, it is under / | 01:10 |
| StepNjump | Besides DarwinSurvivor, I'm not even sure which software was telling me that I was running out of space. Could have been ubuntu one | 01:10 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: ... the same partition that / is on | 01:10 |
| L3d | why is vaapi such a difficult thing ... | 01:10 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: from your post: the actual data is in sda6, but the bootloader is either directly in sda or sdb (check your BIOS to see which drive it boots from). | 01:11 |
| StepNjump | ok sudoman | 01:11 |
| bobweaver | oh M4dD0G what is maemo5 ? | 01:11 |
| L3d | i see there is a diffrance in players and oss too heh | 01:11 |
| StepNjump | I should have created a /boot partition though with all those other old partitions | 01:11 |
| StepNjump | boots from sda | 01:11 |
| DarwinSurvivor | so /boot is part of sda06 (main partition), but it will be "activated" by a small bootloader in one of the 2 drives' boot sectors | 01:11 |
| M4dD0G | bobweaver: os for nokia N900 | 01:11 |
| L3d | can someone pm me please to get thru this vainfo issue ? | 01:12 |
| bobweaver | M4dD0G: we should take this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:12 |
| StepNjump | but which partition... ! ??? Don't know... Not a problem. I will eventually reinstall the boot info in a /boot partition and do a update-grub but it scares the heck out of me | 01:12 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: i don't think there's much of an advantage of having a separate boot partition unless you are trying to encrypt as much as you possibly can. (you have to leave the boot partition unencrypted, because otherwise, you wouldn't have a kernel to perform the decryption.) | 01:12 |
| StepNjump | Ok guys, thanks for your help. I will let you know in case the error happens again | 01:12 |
| StepNjump | Well that's another good reason sudoman. I want to encrypt my ~/ eventually so... good point | 01:13 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: sda6 ( mounted as "/" ) | 01:13 |
| L3d | how do i install tar.gz files again ? | 01:13 |
| L3d | ill get the splitted desktop ones than .. | 01:14 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: but you can do that without encypting the the / partition. if you don't encrypt that, you don't need to install a separate /boot partition. you can just let them stay together | 01:14 |
| M4dD0G | bobweaver: ok, sorry..! | 01:14 |
| StepNjump | Ok DarwinSurvivor.. Yes that's what I thought! thanks for confirming sda6 | 01:14 |
| bobweaver | M4dD0G: this phone looks awesome ! | 01:14 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: if you are interested in going all the way, look up installation instructions for "full disk encryption" | 01:14 |
| L3d | how do i install the splitted desktop libva1 and xvba tar.gz,s | 01:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: basically, unless you see a drive mounted AS /boot, that means it is simply in the drive mounted as / | 01:15 |
| StepNjump | oh I see what you are saying sudoman.. So I would just encrypt a separate ~/ on it's own partition? | 01:15 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: with ecrypfs you don't even need to use a separate partition | 01:15 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: actually, ubuntu supports encrypting individual home folders, but you could also encrypt a separate home partition | 01:15 |
| StepNjump | yes but I wouldn't want my / encrypted all the way! That would be dumb no? | 01:16 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: the first might be easier to set up, i don't know | 01:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 01:16 |
| netninja | Question: I had Ubuntu installed on my laptop with everything working fine. I upgraded to 8gb ram from 2 (two new 4gb chips) and all of a sudden, suspend doesn't re-initialize the video after I bring it out of suspend, and hibernate doesn't restart from session on bring-out-of-hibernate, it starts fresh. Memory checks out ok. Any ideas? | 01:16 |
| StepNjump | oh really! sudoman.. even my ~/Documents folder alone? | 01:16 |
| StepNjump | Thank you very much DarwinSurvivor and sudoman for all your help | 01:16 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: ecryptfs can be used to encrypt ANY folder (~/, ~/Documents, ~/Private, etc) | 01:17 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: well, you might want an encrypted /tmp and swap since those sometimes get temporary files from your home folder written to them. beyond that, it's a certain level of paranoia. (i have "full" disk encryption) | 01:17 |
| L3d | splitted desktop has libva1 with patches ,is this still the normal libva1 ?or do i need a libva cause its now-where ,im lost here ,someone ? | 01:17 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sudoman: swap is a good idea, but /tmp is never written to the HDD, so there's no point encrypting that | 01:17 |
| brightspark | ActionParsnip, I just confirmed that the problem persists across logoffs no matter which icon set I am using. | 01:18 |
| sudoman | DarwinSurvivor: didn't know that... thanks for the heads-up :) | 01:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sudoman: oh, wait, hold on a second | 01:18 |
| StepNjump | ok great! | 01:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | sudoman: nope, my mistake, it is on the HDD. I hade manually set it up as a ramdisk :P | 01:18 |
| L3d | icon problems brightspark ? | 01:18 |
| sudoman | DarwinSurvivor: good idea :) | 01:18 |
| StepNjump | Iwill encrypt just ~/Documents, /tmp and /swap then! | 01:18 |
| L3d | remove smplayer i think .. | 01:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: sorry, /tmp IS on the HDD, you can mount it as a ramdisk if you like, but that pre-allocates ram (make sure you have LOTS before doing that!) | 01:19 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: you mean "swap", no '/'. it's a partition, not a folder | 01:19 |
| brightspark | L3d, yes- the notification area does not use the correct icons based on the theme I have selected. | 01:19 |
| StepNjump | I don't understand DarwinSurvivor? I only have 2 GB | 01:19 |
| L3d | what player do u use ? | 01:20 |
| brightspark | L3d, volume control uses the correct icon, but not battery or network | 01:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: the easiest (and most common) thing to do is encrypt the home folder of each user (~/), that includes Documents, Pictures, settings, cache, etc | 01:20 |
| StepNjump | oh ok sudoman.. so swap partition has to be encrypted eh? | 01:20 |
| SolarisBoy | heh | 01:20 |
| blaodsa | hey can anyone tell me what getty is and where it is for? | 01:20 |
| L3d | i got some other folder vieuw with smplayer some times ,i dunno | 01:20 |
| StepNjump | right.. Well I don't care about my pictures.. Nothing that I need to hide there.. It's more my banking info | 01:20 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: it doesn't have to be... but if you are willing to find good instructions, it can be done. | 01:21 |
| SolarisBoy | its a vty no? | 01:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: you can make /tmp a partition that resides in RAM, but then you have a limited size for /tmp and part of your ram gets used up for it. I wouldn't bother if I were you | 01:21 |
| brightspark | L3d, The program 'smplayer' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 01:21 |
| brightspark | sudo apt-get install smplayer | 01:21 |

| L3d | lol bankling info in a pc | 01:21 |
| SolarisBoy | blaodsa: they are virtual tty's | 01:21 |
| SolarisBoy | blaodsa: they spawn the VT's you access with CTRL + ALT + FN | 01:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: when encrypting the home folder, it automatically decripts it when you log in (using you password), it's 100% transparent and VERY easy to use. | 01:22 |
| SolarisBoy | blaodsa: if tou have for instance 4 running you have like that many available virtual terminals that you can switch too | 01:22 |
| L3d | som programs change layout wich can do some other layout changes i think .. dont know anything else | 01:22 |
| L3d | what do i use for installing tar.gz ?? | 01:22 |
| StepNjump | Yes ok DarwinSurvivor and sudoman.. I appreciate all your explanations. BTW, is there a macro available for xchat that would type our correspondent's nick when replying on the channel? either by right clicking or anything? | 01:22 |
| determinology | Ive ran into another problem when im on windows the internet is fast but when being on ubuntu the updates+apps+internet browsing is slow..Any ideas and even sometimes it doesnt connect to the page and i have to refresh | 01:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: also remember that lots of applications (even banking ones) save stuff to ~/.config, ~/.local, etc in the home folder, so you should encrypt the entire home folder if you are going to bother encrypting in the first place | 01:23 |
| brightspark | StepNjump, xchat has tab completion, which is probably easier to use in the first place. | 01:23 |
| sudoman | StepNjump: in weechat at least, you can start typing the first few letters and hit tab. | 01:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: type the first few characters, then hit <tab> for auto-complete | 01:23 |
| jehoshua02 | Any tips on how to troubleshoot an "unable to read" message with ImageMagick? | 01:23 |

| blaodsa | SolarisBoy: and what can i set or run when i start getty in a normal console?! | 01:24 |

| L3d | so after all my cmd time ,do i still need additional res drivers ? | 01:24 |
| L3d | you,d say allways heh no ? | 01:24 |
| SolarisBoy | blaodsa: why would you want to start getty from a normal console? | 01:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: the link I posted includes instructions for manual decryption via command line | 01:24 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: besides, you should have external backups anyways :P | 01:25 |
| L3d | i allready got catalyst ,does this change after this ? | 01:25 |
| blaodsa | SolarisBoy: because my teacher told me i should do it .. and he wants to know the anser.. :D | 01:25 |
| StepNjump | oh nice, I'll try weechat! sudoman. Ok DarwinSurvivor.. copy that. I will encrypt the whole ~/ then | 01:25 |
| SolarisBoy | so you want your homework done? | 01:25 |
| SolarisBoy | blaodsa: your teacher told you you should do what? | 01:25 |
| L3d | im confussed | 01:26 |
| blaodsa | SolarisBoy: user getty in an normal console and find out what goes on .. | 01:26 |
| DarwinSurvivor | StepNjump: just make sure that you save a copy of the "encryption key" when you set up encryption (it will tell you to anyways). That key can be used to decrypt everything, so print/write it on paper and you will never lose your files :D | 01:26 |
| L3d | this joint should make up for that | 01:26 |
| SolarisBoy | that doesn't make sense | 01:26 |
| L3d | do i need additional restricted drivers after i allreadsy installed catalyst ? | 01:27 |
| SolarisBoy | you can access getty from a normal console as long as your on a remote connection to the host (like DRAC or ILO) or you are in front of it | 01:27 |
| L3d | gosh i mean ubuntu restricked extras ,do i need those after catalyst ? | 01:28 |

| itscool | how do i change the order of the icons in the unity bar? clicking and dragging is not working. using 11.10 ubu | 01:44 |
| netninja | itscool: click and drag, but drag it out sideways first. | 01:44 |
| L3d | hold mouse button pherhapns | 01:44 |
| neonflx2 | so a while back i got banned because i was voicing my opinion about the direction is heading with unity, i was not belligerent or did i use any foul language, the reason i got banned was because the op did not agree with my point of view, reality is that unity has created some controversy and for the op to banned me just because it shows that we are not as "open source" as we think we are | 01:45 |
| itscool | netmind, forgot to mention that I was dragging sideways too with no success. | 01:45 |
| netninja | neonflx2: who cares? | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: sudo apt-get install packagename 12.04 is supported in #ubuntu+1 | 01:45 |
| neonflx2 | you may not, in the long run you will | 01:46 |
| netninja | neonflx2: thanks for telling me what I will care about. | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | neonflx2: voicing opinions is offtopic here, this is support ONLY | 01:46 |
| netninja | neonflx2: what ubuntu does with their GUI is really the least of my worries, considering there are 4 billion alternatives. | 01:46 |
| L3d | are the ubuntu restrictive extras still needed after i have catalyst ,cause vaapi wont work ? | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | neonflx2: if you disobey the guidelines of the channel you will be ejected and/or banned | 01:47 |
| bhrandon | nvm I got it. ls -s -S | 01:47 |
| itscool | neonflx2: it is clear from your statement why you got banned. this channel is for helping people with their installations, not with debating the roadmap of ubuntu. there are other forums, mailing lists, developer channels and irc spots for that. | 01:47 |
| neonflx2 | haha disobey, i like that term | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | neonflx2: so the op didn't ban you for disagreeing with unity in any way | 01:47 |
| neonflx2 | feel like i'm a slave | 01:47 |
| gogeta | neonflx2: lol unity is fail but venting abought is kinda old hat | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | neonflx2: you agree to the terms when you join the channel, just stick to the simpe guides and you will be fine | 01:47 |
| bhrandon | #ubuntu-offtopic was referred to me for off-topic discussion Neonflx2 | 01:47 |
| neonflx2 | yes the op did not like my criticism of unity | 01:48 |
| L3d | one time i did install restrickive extras and my resolution and everything went wrong .. | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | neonflx2: you can feel like a slave if you want as long as you follow the rules of the channel, its quite simple | 01:48 |
| crazytrane | venting about unity is so, like uh 11.04 | 01:48 |
| crazytrane | lol | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | neonflx2: maybe but criticism is also offtopic here | 01:48 |
| gogeta | neonflx2: yea it goes to the offtopic raging hear as i said is old news | 01:48 |
| netninja | neonflx2: no one is this stupid in real life. unity vents don't have any place here. that's all there is to it. | 01:48 |
| neonflx2 | that is why mint is surpassing ubuntu, cause of the reluctant to acknowledge that unity is flaw | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | neonflx2: all non-support stuff is perfectly welcommed in #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:49 |
| netninja | neonflx2: and at the risk of feeding a troll, the obvious statement applies: if you don't like it here, go somewhere else. | 01:49 |
| randomuser | does installing gnome-power-manager no longer provide a gnome-power-manager gui ? | 01:49 |
| itscool | so back to the unity bar, if click and hold and drag sideways off the bar doesn't work, and i have installed ccsm. what are my options to get it to work so i can reorganize my icons? | 01:49 |
| L3d | good or bad to install restrickive extras after catalyst and the likes ? | 01:49 |
| neonflx2 | not a troll im still using ubuntu | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | neonflx2: it's not at all, and if you think distrowatch is a good gauge, you are sadly mistaken | 01:49 |

| jsilva | Hi all, I want to install tinycorelinux inside ubuntu, but I can't find information about it. Any help? | 01:49 |
| gogeta | jsilva: do you mean in a vm | 01:49 |
| L3d | vainfo got u there too ?> | 01:49 |
| neonflx2 | peace | 01:49 |
| gogeta | jsilva: tiny core is a distro | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | KFP: what if you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 01:49 |
| netninja | neonflx2: your opinions about GUI design are hardly facts. | 01:49 |
| itscool | jsilva: install virtual box and then tiny core ontop of that | 01:50 |
| jsilva | gogeta: No, in the same disk, using the same ubuntu partition | 01:50 |
| gogeta | jsilva: that would explode your install | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | neoark: if you don't like unity/gnome, you can always switch to xfce, lxde, kde or another DE. Gnome is not the only desktop | 01:50 |
| netninja | itscool: are you logged in as a user, or as a guest? | 01:50 |
| itscool | jsilva: or reduce the size of your ubu partition and install tiny core in dual boot into the remaining new space you opened up. | 01:50 |
| L3d | sudo nano works .. | 01:51 |
| Kimble | I'm struggling to turn off boot services. I have smbd, winbind and nmbd in my init.d folder. I no longer want them to run on boot. What's the best way to do this? | 01:51 |
| itscool | netninja: as user. | 01:51 |
| gogeta | jsilva: you can vm it or use a seprate partation but you can but 2 os on the same partation | 01:51 |
| KFP | ActionParsnip: It then fails to restart X, saying "kernel module nvidia not found" and goes to terminal instead. | 01:51 |
| gogeta | cant put | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | KFP: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install dkms | 01:51 |
| jsilva | gogeta: it is possible, but I am trying to point a custom entry in grub2 and is not working | 01:52 |
| gogeta | jsilva: even if you did the data would cruupt | 01:52 |
| gogeta | jsilva: oh you mean a furgal install | 01:53 |
| gogeta | jsilva: where tiny core is on a image file | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | jsilva: install virtualbox-ose then download and MD5 test the tinycore iso and use it to boot in a new virtual system | 01:53 |
| gogeta | ActionParsnip: hes talking abought fugal install | 01:53 |
| itscool | Kimble: you can make a backup folder in there and move them into there. and reboot, that should likely do the trick. | 01:53 |
| === brennan is now known as eternalulz | ||
| jsilva | ActionParsnip: thanks but I don't want tinycore inside ubuntu, I want boot tinycore from ubuntu grub | 01:54 |
| Kimble | itscool: i guess that's one way :) | 01:54 |
| itscool | Kimble: problem is, tho, what depends on them. will the be satisfied and will your system hang because they aren't running? | 01:54 |
| L3d | The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. what do i do next to get gecko to install ? | 01:54 |
| gogeta | jsilva: yea there grub script isnt very smart | 01:55 |
| jsilva | gogeta: :/ | 01:55 |
| Kimble | itscool: I've disabled them manually while booted and nothing seems to complain, so hopefully things should be fine. | 01:55 |
| L3d | im trying to update wine with the added url but i cnt get past that | 01:55 |
| itscool | is there a unity config file that can be edited by hand to control the order of the icons? | 01:55 |
| gogeta | jsilva: ever run puppy its nearly the same but a bit more loaded | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | L3d: how did you add the wine ppa? | 01:56 |
| gogeta | jsilva: with mutch smarter installers | 01:56 |
| Kimble | Unless: I'm mounting a local cifs share usine fstab. Will uninstalling smbd, nmbd and winbind interfere with that? | 01:56 |

| ldiamond | I used to love Ubuntu, however, 11.10 has Unity only and I hate it. What are the alternatives? (I tried Xfce, but it's far less functional than Gnome was on Ubuntu... speaking of media keys on kb and some other basic functionality or bugs) | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | L3d: did you use add-apt-repository ? | 01:56 |

| gogeta | ldiamond: xfce is abought as close as you can get | 01:57 |

| ActionParsnip | L3d: undo whatever you did, then in a terminal, run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | L3d: and you will have zero issues | 01:57 |
| ldiamond | So no plans to have a gnome2-like UI in Ubuntu? | 01:57 |
| gogeta | ldiamond: you can try mint with mate witch is a gnome 2 fork onto gtk3 but is still very early | 01:58 |
| L3d | giggity | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ldiamond: you can use xfce, looks and smells like gnome2 | 01:58 |
| ldiamond | ActionParsnip, I tried Xubuntu and it's a sub-par distro | 01:58 |

| itscool | jsilva: found this, long read, but describe what you want to do with tiny core. >>> http://gr8idea.info/os/tutorials/tiny-core/install.html | 02:01 |
| ldiamond | subpar as well? | 02:01 |
| gogeta | ldiamond: arch comes with a base kernel and a package manager | 02:01 |
| L3d | dont know where thay came from ,i think ubuntu games is supposed to be there | 02:01 |
| gogeta | ldiamond: you build it yourself | 02:01 |
| ldiamond | ugh, I don't have time for that | 02:01 |
| anadon | i'm trying to print off a giant image from my standard printer. How do I do this? | 02:02 |
| gogeta | ldiamond: its very well documented if you can read and type ts easy | 02:02 |
| ldiamond | I used to run ubuntu 10.04. It was functional | 02:02 |
| itscool | ldiamond: you can also install gnome-desktop and that will give you a gnome2-like interface. i've got installed on mine. | 02:02 |
| ldiamond | in 11.10 isn't gnome-desktop giving you Unity? | 02:03 |
| L3d | http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu is this normaly in the other sources list ? | 02:03 |
| ldiamond | are you referring to gnome-panel package? | 02:03 |
| itscool | ldiamond: no | 02:03 |
| gogeta | ldiamond: lets hope when mate gets a bit less buggy ubuntu picks it up | 02:03 |
| gogeta | ldiamond: so we all get the gnome 2 ui back | 02:03 |
| L3d | Third party developers repository | 02:03 |
| itscool | ldiamond: look at the description in synaptic for the entry 'gnome-desktop', you'll drool again. | 02:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ldiamond: its the same distro, just a different set of default apps, the underlying mechanics are 00% identical | 02:04 |
| ActionParsnip | 100% | 02:04 |

| ActionParsnip | ldiamond: xubuntu, its the same ubuntu, just uses xfce4 as the de instead of gnome | 02:05 |
| netninja | ActionParsnip: I think my suspend/hibernate issues are because I have no swapdisk, even though I attempted to install one. How can I get the system to recognize the swap disk? | 02:05 |
| OerHeks | Hilikus, build it yourself ? | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | L3d: the default repos | 02:05 |
| ldiamond | ActionParsnip, yes, but the default apps don't work well. | 02:05 |
| Hilikus | OerHeks: there's too many dependencies | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: you will need swap for hibernate | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ldiamond: you can install gnome apps in xubuntu and they will run | 02:06 |
| netninja | ActionParsnip: so how do I get it to recognize? | 02:06 |
| L3d | can i get a picie ? | 02:06 |
| gogeta | ldiamond: you can install the aps you like after and remove the ones you dont | 02:06 |
| L3d | ill look a picture up on google | 02:06 |

| netninja | so, my question stands: how do I get the system to recognize the swapspace? | 02:08 |

| netninja | ActionParsnip: hence my question, "do I make sure it's added in /etc/fstab?" :P | 02:09 |
| * netninja checks | 02:09 | |
| ActionParsnip | L3d: you can add the getdeb ppa with the deb on their site | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: the default install will have made one and added it in fstab | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: I am not aware of how you installed so cannot say for sure how YOUR setup is | 02:09 |
| L3d | im not shure how amny links were made with wine ... | 02:10 |
| OerHeks | netninja, swap not in use means ready, but not in use yet. | 02:10 |

| netninja | I have a 9gig partition ready for swap | 02:12 |
| L3d | ok i get it a litle ,hoping it will overwrite whaevr it did first .. | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: its a secure file system, you manually choose it at install time, it's not default | 02:12 |
| netninja | I didn't know swap could be so complicated | 02:12 |
| HQRaja | Know of any IRC client for Ubuntu that's as close to mIRC on Windows as it gets? | 02:12 |
| netninja | ActionParsnip: the only secure thing I picked was for my /home directory, not for this swap thing; regardless, I seem to have it on, so how might I fix my fugup? :/ | 02:12 |
| ring2 | HQRaja, xchat | 02:12 |
| L3d | so thaty did change after all heh | 02:12 |
| HQRaja | ring2: Using it right now but kinda feel some lack | 02:13 |
| ring2 | HQRaja, lack of what? | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: if you encrypt it, then it can be a bit more complex | 02:13 |
| HQRaja | ring2: Like the dead-simple alias/popups/scripting of mIRC for starters | 02:13 |
| OerHeks | netninja, no swap on an encrypted filesystem is a security measure. you don't want a burglar recreate your data. | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | netninja: maybe you need to run: sudo swapon /dev/partitionname | 02:14 |
| * netninja checks, and thanks :) | 02:14 | |
| HQRaja | But perhaps that's because I haven't really explored all the options of XChat yet? | 02:14 |

| stinkfist | actionparsnip I downloaded the drivers wireless for my laptop | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | L3d: the ppa only supports natty, I suggest you remove it | 02:18 |
| gogeta | ztag100: wine had a relly nice relese for a wile but has sence gone downhill | 02:18 |
| stinkfist | it shows in my taskbard that im connected | 02:18 |
| CaptAnon | I want to open a program I need to choose a screen or something? | 02:18 |
| stinkfist | but when i open firefox it doesnt load pages | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | sp4z: yep, blame the devs for not suporting linux | 02:18 |
| ztag100 | hmm.. good to know | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | stinkfist: which wifi chip? | 02:18 |
| stinkfist | Broadcomp | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | stinkfist: can you ping 8.8.8.8? | 02:18 |
| itscool | netninja: remove that entry and then check your partition setup and see if you still have a partition set aside for swap. then if you do, turn it into swap with 'mkswap <device' and then issue the command 'swapon' to active it. | 02:19 |
| gogeta | sp4z: yea and anything dx11 will need windows anyways wines fails hard at dc11 | 02:19 |
| gogeta | dx11 | 02:19 |
| stinkfist | ill try | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | stinkfist: there is a native broadcom driver, you don't need anything manually downloading from the web | 02:19 |
| itscool | netninja: also, maybe you should update that entry to point to the swap partition itself. | 02:19 |
| CaptAnon | the terminal says "cannot open display" | 02:19 |
| stinkfist | it says network is unreachable | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | CaptAnon: is it a GUI app? | 02:19 |
| gogeta | ActionParsnip: anticheat is like a rootkit wine can never work with them kernel level hacks | 02:20 |
| klj613 | how can i make any files uploaded by a specific user automatically have ownership theuser:www-data ? i asked this earlier not sure if it had any responses | 02:20 |
| CaptAnon | I think so. | 02:20 |
| netninja | itscool: I just edited fstab to be "/dev/sda6 none swap sw 0 0" and I'm hoping this would work; does that seem right? | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | gogeta: sure but a native app will work well | 02:20 |
| netninja | itscool: assuming I'm right that sda6 is swap, which it is? :) | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | !broadcom | stinkfist | 02:20 |
| ubottu | stinkfist: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 02:20 |
| sp4z | gogeta, bf2 is dx9c | 02:20 |
| itscool | netninja: yeah that sounds great, now do swapon and then swapon -s to see if you succeeded. | 02:20 |
| stinkfist | im using ubuntu 10.04 i downloaded the drivers from the software center. Also I cant ping 8.8.8.8 | 02:20 |
| stinkfist | thank you ubottu | 02:20 |
| L3d | ok i added this line yeah another one ,sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rexbron/bugfixes .. gues thats all | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | stinkfist: can you ping the internal IP of your router? | 02:20 |
| gogeta | sp4z: it will run but punkbuster will not | 02:21 |
| itscool | stinkfist: are you using the same box to talk on irc with us? | 02:21 |
| netninja | itscool: rebooting | 02:21 |
| determinology | i neeed help on getting ubuntu R8168 driver | 02:21 |
| sp4z | yeah ok thanks | 02:21 |
| L3d | dont know why but vaapi demanded it | 02:21 |
| itscool | netninja: you didn't really have to do that. :) | 02:21 |
| stinkfist | erm Actionparsnip how can i find my internal ip. is it the local loop address? | 02:21 |
| raven | how to control cpu frequency by cmd | 02:21 |
| stinkfist | itscool no you see my internet works fine with ethernet | 02:21 |
| stinkfist | when i disconnect ethernet my wireless isnt working | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | stinkfist: no, it's the IP of the config page of the router, most home grade routers use 192.168.0.1 | 02:22 |
| itscool | stinkfist: oh ok. is your broadcom usb or pci or internal? | 02:22 |
| CaptAnon | display=1 or somthing like it I think? | 02:22 |
| stinkfist | alright i found it using show ip im going to try to ping it :) brb | 02:22 |
| gogeta | itscool: brodcom shoudl work out of the box | 02:22 |
| gogeta | should | 02:22 |
| itscool | gogeta: not always, i've found that with ubu i have had to reinstall it on many occasions | 02:23 |
| netninja | itscool: well, "swapon" and then "swapon -s" didn't work; "swapon" by itself demanded arguments, so I figured restarting was best | 02:23 |
| itscool | netninja: i should have mentioned to sudo it | 02:23 |
| gogeta | itscool: my old pcima on my c610 dell works out of the box | 02:24 |
| stinkfist | um its says network is unreachable when i try to ping my home grade routers | 02:24 |
| netninja | itscool: I did :) | 02:24 |
| netninja | itscool: well, now there is *no* swapfile | 02:24 |
| itscool | gogeta: depends on which broadcom it is then i reckon. | 02:24 |
| itscool | netninja: is the partition you told it, was it formatted as swap? | 02:25 |
| itscool | netninja: it must be a dedicated partition. can't be shared with something else. | 02:25 |
| itscool | do sudo mkswap <device> | 02:25 |
| netninja | itscool: it was once formatted for swap, I'll format it again, and yes, it's a 9gig all by itself (I have 8gb ram, so I went 9gb swapfile for hibernate) | 02:25 |
| * netninja formats | 02:25 | |
| itscool | netninja: ie>> mkswap /dev/sda3 | 02:26 |
| gogeta | netninja: lol 9gb swap | 02:26 |
| gogeta | netninja: hibernate does not use swap btw | 02:26 |
| netninja | gogets: I have 8gb ram; larger than ram is required for swap for hibernate. why are you lulzing? | 02:26 |
| netninja | gogets: I and Parsnip think differently | 02:26 |
| itscool | netninja: dear god man. I hibernate with a 4gb swap and loads of spare room left over. what you are you hibernating? | 02:26 |
| tofa | Hi, I need to update from ubuntu 10.04 32 bit to a 64 bit ubuntu OS is there someway of doing this from within ubuntu? | 02:27 |
| netninja | itscool: do yu understand what hibernate does? | 02:27 |
| gogeta | itscool: i hibernate with 1gb swap | 02:27 |
| gogeta | itscool: my system has 8gb ram | 02:27 |
| itscool | netninja: yes i do | 02:27 |
| itscool | netninja: i know the difference between it and sleeping as well | 02:27 |
| netninja | oh neat. that's great. | 02:27 |
| netninja | so do I | 02:27 |
| * itscool leaps for joy! | 02:28 | |
| stinkfist | itscool my broadcom is internal. i think. it came with my laptop. | 02:28 |
| netninja | so "what I'm hibernating" isn't really a valid question, then, is it? | 02:28 |
| keithzg | tofa: not so easily, but as long as you keep a separate /home partition (or at least back it up) it shouldn't be too hard to just reinstall but have everything act like nothing much happened ;) | 02:28 |
| netninja | since it writes RAM to disk? | 02:28 |
| stinkfist | also Actionparsnip i cant ping my home grade routers | 02:28 |
| netninja | so, what's being hibernated will change every time... | 02:28 |
| gogeta | netninja: hibernate is a snapshot of the whole running prosses and sent to disk | 02:28 |
| L3d | its wierd i have extras and 3rd pary but its all updates :) | 02:28 |
| tofa | keithzg: So how would I do that? | 02:29 |
| gogeta | netninja: maybe your thinking sleep thats to ram | 02:29 |
| netninja | gogets: yes, you're right, so... what does that have to do with "what are you hibernating?" | 02:29 |
| itscool | netninja: it is because i'm curious as to what you have that comprises 9gb of state that needs saving so your can turn your machine off, ship it to jupiter station 2 and restart it later after the red dwarf docks with port authority there. :) dude. I am a cat. | 02:29 |
| * netninja bangs head off desk | 02:29 | |
| netninja | I know what sleep is | 02:29 |
| netninja | I didn't say it writes to ram | 02:29 |
| netninja | I said it writes ram to disk | 02:29 |
| L3d | the update works from the console cool ,thnx actionman :D | 02:29 |
| L3d | lol | 02:30 |
| gogeta | netninja: yea but not in the fasion you think | 02:30 |
| netninja | gogets: the only thing I'm not aware of is *where* it writes to disk (swap vs fs), which really, I don't care. | 02:30 |
| L3d | some real action .. | 02:30 |
| gogeta | netninja: just whats running | 02:30 |
| gogeta | netninja: it goes directly into the fs | 02:30 |
| netninja | gogeta: I don't care what fashion it writes, I'd like it to work again; it stopped working when I upgraded my ram from 2gb to 8gb, and apparently my swap got fucked up as well. | 02:31 |
| netninja | I'm less concerned with the specifics of something indirectly related to the actual problem, as I am to fixing the problem. | 02:31 |
| gogeta | netninja: oh its broken? | 02:31 |
| L3d | laters pps and thnx for the help ,cant wait for the new version ,gona try buying it with a mag | 02:31 |
| netninja | so getting hung up on where it writes to, I don't really care as much about as fixing the fact that it just *does* *not* *hibernate* | 02:32 |
| toxed | why dosent banshee close on xfce wen exited upon ? | 02:32 |
| gogeta | netninja: hibernate can be quite large in some cases | 02:32 |
| L3d | do i need ubuntu server for my dual xeon server hpx4000 | 02:32 |
| itscool | netninja: easiest thing to do is back up the home partition, and create an install file from your synaptic. reload your ubu of choice. drop in your home partition during install and reload from your synaptic file aftewards. but you won't discover anything that way. | 02:32 |
| gogeta | netninja: maybe to big and you run out of fs space | 02:32 |
| CaptAnon | Can anyone help me open a program in terminal Can not open display | 02:32 |
| netninja | gogeta: well, I have 40gb available on the fs, with just 8gig of stuff on the disk, an 8gig swap (which is now disabled), and 8gig of ram | 02:33 |
| gogeta | netninja: humm | 02:33 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest43631 | ||
| netninja | so unless 8gig of ram plus 8gig of files running very few system files takes up more than 40gb, that's not the issue, I'm afraid | 02:33 |
| e75 | how can i change the device for sound output from the cli? | 02:33 |
| netninja | yeah, humm :( | 02:33 |
| L3d | how does ubuntu server work ,is it bette for my server hpx4000 ? | 02:34 |
| netninja | again, this all works fine until I upgraded to 8gb of ram from 2; ram checked out fine | 02:34 |
| L3d | faster than/ | 02:34 |
| itscool | L3d: are you using your machine for file serving or as a workstation or as a gaming platform? | 02:34 |
| L3d | moslty games but i dl allot and make some funky music ehh | 02:35 |
| L3d | damn my spellngs bad .. | 02:35 |
| L3d | jsut think there are diff drivers like windows :s | 02:36 |
| Artemis3 | netninja, did you do memtest after installing the ram? | 02:36 |
| netninja | yes | 02:36 |
| itscool | L3d: then you don't want 'server' that for things like file serving, apache and other stuff of an enterprise network nature. stick with the standard ubuntu for gaming. | 02:36 |
| Artemis3 | netninja, you let a whole pass go perfectly? | 02:36 |
| netninja | Artemis3: just a few hours ago as well | 02:36 |
| netninja | Artemis3: yes, took almost 3 hours | 02:36 |
| itscool | L3d: no, but if you are having driver issues please let us know as we might be able to help you solve the problems. :) | 02:37 |
| L3d | dont wana begin talking about windows here hehe | 02:37 |
| Artemis3 | netninja, actually i have 8g of ram and no swap so that shouldn't be a problem | 02:37 |
| itscool | L3d: oh, so you are finally fed up with bg trying to get you ready w8 and now you want to go Ubuntu? Yeah just do the standard desktop edition. you'll be fine. | 02:38 |
| L3d | well im doingthat survay thing with the upd manager ,and i like this cjat altho it is very busy :p | 02:38 |
| netninja | woah, crazy! - since blowing up my swap just a minute ago, now Hibernate isn't even an option any more | 02:38 |
| itscool | don't bother with 64bit support, it's still weak. unless someone here says otherwise. | 02:38 |
| Artemis3 | netninja, ok, if you want to hibernate, as opposed to suspend, your swap must be a little bigger than your ram | 02:38 |
| L3d | aargh chat | 02:38 |
| lhasa | personally i just turn off the monitor :| | 02:39 |
| L3d | im on 32 with one or 2 64 pci sluts | 02:39 |
| somsip | itscool: otherwise | 02:39 |
| itscool | L3d: well there you go, someone says otherwise. | 02:39 |
| OerHeks | itscool next release will be 64 bit recommended | 02:39 |
| netninja | Artemis3: yes, I'm aware of that, and yet, people in this forum keep saying that and then the opposite of that; I've always believed that was true | 02:39 |
| somsip | itscool: :) | 02:39 |
| netninja | Artemis3: however, there are plenty of people in this channel that say this is not true with apparent self-examples :( | 02:40 |
| itscool | somsip: OerHeks: you guys saying the flash issue with 64 bit has been resolved? | 02:40 |
| Artemis3 | netninja, you swap should something like 8,1g, or perhaps 8,01g | 02:40 |
| OerHeks | Artemis3 is right, swap needs to be bigger than ram to store more pointers | 02:40 |
| L3d | know what i like ,no more bad driver updates and the likes with this xfx card weeee | 02:40 |
| L3d | seesya | 02:41 |
| somsip | itscool: just connected here and it worked | 02:41 |
| somsip | itscool: gah...http://www.wechoosethemoon.org/ | 02:41 |
| OerHeks | itscool, no, 64 bit will be recommended, not about flash at all. | 02:41 |
| netninja | Artemis3: I'm formatting it for swap now at 9gb. | 02:41 |
| L3d | otherwise | 02:41 |
| Artemis3 | netninja, should do. | 02:41 |
| OerHeks | flash is dying anyway | 02:41 |
| yogu | why? | 02:42 |
| itscool | somsip: OerHeks: I'll keep that in mind when i build my next beastie as my last beastie died 3 days ago and now i'm using this old sempron frankie. | 02:42 |
| L3d | went to the movie apollo 18 a day before my birth day ,wen it came out =) | 02:42 |
| quixotedon | why can't we use novell moonlight on the latest version of firefox?? | 02:42 |
| somsip | itscool: isn't there a thing about Semprons not being great with 64bit OS, or did I fream it... | 02:43 |
| L3d | my resolution is so high ,i need a break too lolz | 02:43 |

| the_truth | does anyone have a reccomendation for anti-virus? | 02:49 |
| the_truth | or some type of security? | 02:49 |
| xangua | !antivirus | the_truth | 02:49 |
| ubottu | the_truth: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 02:49 |
| OerHeks | iptables will be enough the_truth | 02:50 |
| L3d | weeknie | 02:50 |
| the_truth | thanx for the help | 02:51 |
| netninja | weird - the swap partition needs to be formatted, isn't loaded as swap right now, but I can't format it since something has a lock on it. I'm booting into livecd to format the partition and fstab is already updated to reflect the swap on startup | 02:51 |
| the_truth | is there any way to recover files after a reformatting? | 02:51 |
| itscool | the_truth: in linux you can use photorec from another linux like a live cd, and on windows there are loads of options. | 02:52 |
| the_truth | the files were on a previous ubuntu | 02:53 |
| itscool | the_truth: meaning, you are on the new ubuntu which was installed ontop of the old ubuntu? | 02:54 |
| ilearnz | Hello | 02:54 |
| nomad | ls | 02:54 |
| HQRaja | rm | 02:54 |
| the_truth | i had made a copy of the partition and it got erased | 02:54 |
| L3d_ | meh | 02:55 |
| ilearnz | any1 know how to fix microphones(built in) i thinking drivers arent here or w.e i not sure | 02:55 |
| L3d_ | so can i watch cartoon network and adult swim on this ? | 02:55 |
| itscool | the_truth: did you write anything to the erased partition yet? | 02:55 |
| === L3d_ is now known as L3d | ||
| the_truth | well ubuntu now is the whole hdd | 02:56 |
| itscool | ilearnz: under sound preferences. is the mic unmuted? if so, in terminal try 'alsamixer' to unmute the mic. | 02:56 |
| MoeJoebloe | Hey guy's saw this spammed earlier what the heck is it? http://bit.ly/uPBolO | 02:56 |
| HQRaja | So you have already installed the OS on the partition after erasing it? | 02:56 |
| itscool | the_truth: how long has it been | 02:56 |
| the_truth | days | 02:56 |
| the_truth | 3 | 02:56 |
| itscool | ugh, you are looking at a long time like maybe 5 days if you stop right now and use another method of accessing the system to recover the files just recover 90% chance of gibberish. | 02:57 |
| OerHeks | please don'y spam MoeJoebloe nice try though | 02:58 |
| the_truth | how would i recover any of it? | 02:58 |
| itscool | on linux like say from another linux system with drive mounted into it you could do it with 'photorec' | 02:59 |
| jtokarchuk | someone lose a drive? | 02:59 |
| the_truth | where can i get that? | 02:59 |
| jtreminio | Hello - how do I unmap CTRL + Q to close the current application? | 03:00 |
| itscool | or you could put the drive into a windows machine and use runtime.org's recovery software on it. | 03:00 |
| the_truth | I lost a partition by re-installing ubuntu | 03:00 |
| jtokarchuk | jtreminio, open dash, run keyboard, change it in shortcut | 03:00 |
| jtokarchuk | s | 03:00 |
| jtreminio | jtokarchuk, attempting to remap ALT + Q in that gui closes the gui. | 03:01 |

| jtokarchuk | the_truth: how important was this data | 03:03 |

| itscool | the_truth: then follow instructions from that website. | 03:03 |
| funnyfingers | any plans for Ubunto to use systemd? | 03:03 |
| the_truth | jtokarchuk on a scale of 1-10 a 8.5 | 03:03 |
| jtokarchuk | if it's that important, you should probably send it for recovery. Using it right now is burying your files deeper. | 03:04 |

| xxiao | the fcoe initiator on 11.10 is not working at all | 03:07 |
| AdminSetup | crazytrane : What is it ???? | 03:07 |
| funnyfingers | AdminSetup - you can have a cron job that reads the PID file and then checks for that pid. Also it could just run the init.d script for the status and react accordingly. | 03:09 |
| netninja | ok, how can I get rid of "cryptsetup"? | 03:10 |
| netninja | I don't want that on my laptop, it's causing way too many problems | 03:10 |

| beatbreaker | so you're in ubuntu, and you click and drag a folder form the desktop to somewhere else, and it doesn't copy? | 03:27 |
| matin | so does anyone know how to set up subversion? | 03:27 |
| the_truth | The whole problem is im trying to recover files from my previous version of ubuntu and Im goin crazy tryin ta figure it out | 03:27 |
| mazda01 | the_truth, ubuntu runs on the linux kernel where as OSX runs on XNU which has with much of BSD's code in the kernel | 03:27 |
| beatbreaker | matin, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=setup+subversion | 03:28 |
| matin | funny | 03:28 |
| aeon-ltd | matin: try #svn | 03:28 |
| matin | i meant that i need help | 03:28 |
| mazda01 | the_truth, check out a live cd like system rescue which has dd_rescue on it. very cool stuff | 03:28 |
| the_truth | photorec system rescue ahhhh how do i do all this? | 03:29 |
| mazda01 | the_truth, i personally have a 16GB usb stick which has multi-boot on it which allows me to boot into ubuntu, system rescue, amongst other things. it's great for data recovery | 03:29 |
| mazda01 | the_truth, just many many others before you learned how to do it. Use google and start reading. | 03:30 |
| the_truth | I have been.... *sigh F(_)[K | 03:30 |
| Flannel | the_truth: Please mind the language, thanks. | 03:31 |
| the_truth | my bad frustrated! | 03:32 |
| mazda01 | the_truth, ok, take a deep breath. LOL I will link you to a great tutorial. let me find it. | 03:32 |
| Flannel | !undelete | the_truth | 03:32 |
| ubottu | the_truth: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 03:32 |
| StepNjump | Does anyone know how to connect to this server here through weechat-curses? | 03:33 |
| SultansElephant | i think the_truth should get credit for his ascii like filters | 03:33 |
| matin | ok so no one is responding on #svn | 03:33 |
| mazda01 | SultansElephant, i agree. LOL | 03:33 |
| Flannel | the_truth: Except don't put a lot of faith in those working. But it is theoretically possible. First thing you need to do is ABSOLUTELY STOP using the drive in question. | 03:33 |
| Flannel | beatbreaker: LMGTFY is not acceptable in this channel. | 03:33 |
| mazda01 | the_truth, YEAP, listen to funnel for sure! stop accessing the disk completely | 03:33 |
| Flannel | matin: What are you having trouble with? | 03:34 |
| matin | permissions | 03:34 |
| matin | & well setting it up | 03:34 |
| matin | haha | 03:34 |
| the_truth | Thanx... N thats this drive could i clear the part that the partition was on? | 03:34 |
| matin | Flannel: i followed tutorials | 03:34 |
| matin | and it still wasn't working | 03:34 |
| Flannel | matin: Are you following a guide? Are you trying to set up a server? just to use it as a client? | 03:34 |
| beatbreaker | Flannel, sorry | 03:34 |
| matin | I'm setting up a server | 03:34 |
| mazda01 | the_truth, you will want to use system rescue to create an "image" of the drive, then you will fiddle with that to see what data you can recover. this way , you aren't accessing the disk BUT only that one time to create an image with dd_rescue | 03:34 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright, which tutorial? just so I know what steps they're having you go through | 03:34 |
| mazda01 | the_truth, go to the other channel, much easier to help ya | 03:35 |
| stepnjump2 | ok, nevermind... I found it | 03:36 |
| stepnjump2 | This is a test | 03:37 |
| stepnjump2 | Anybody familiar with weechat | 03:37 |
| matin | Flannel, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-subversion-with-web-access-on-ubuntu/ | 03:37 |
| aeon-ltd | StepNjump: they are in #weechat :) | 03:38 |
| netninja | can anyone help me uninstall cryptsetup? I apparently installed it by accident and I feel like it's causing all kinds of problems | 03:38 |
| J101 | Does anyone know how to move the window controls to the right side instead of the left. I think I'm in Gnome panel, but Unity is still installed because everythig broke and I had to reinstall when I tried removing it | 03:38 |
| J101 | the close button, etc | 03:39 |
| === StepNjump2 is now known as StepNjump | ||
| giiker | anyone knows how to transfer file from a Mac to ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright. In general howtogeek is a horrible place for accurate tutorials (for Debian based systems, they tend to do things the RPM based way), but this one looks pretty accurate (mostly because its straightforward). What steps are you having trouble with? or just "get to end, stuff don't work"? | 03:39 |
| netninja | giiker: can you mount the machd on the local machine? | 03:40 |
| matin | haha ok Flannel | 03:40 |
| netninja | giiker: if they're seperate machines and you just need to move some files, use dropbox :) | 03:40 |
| matin | well now i just tried to import, svn import /home/fouad/public_html file:///triumph | 03:40 |
| giiker | I tried the T mode, but apparently I need somepackages to read the MAC filesystem | 03:40 |
| matin | svn server is triumph on root | 03:40 |
| matin | when i try to import | 03:41 |
| giiker | matin: the file I need is 6 GB | 03:41 |
| matin | svn: Can't open file '/triumph/db/fs-type': Permission denied | 03:41 |
| netninja | giiker: you can mount easily a linuxfs on the mac, and transfer it that way | 03:41 |
| netninja | (I'm assuming they're networked?) | 03:42 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright. That makes sense, now that I take a second look at that tutorial. Let me ask, is your intent to do this via apache? (http(s):// links) or do you not care what protocol? Do you want/need the apache browsing ability? | 03:42 |
| matin | this is my first time using subversion | 03:42 |
| giiker | netninja: you mean with nfs maybe? | 03:42 |
| matin | my objective is to subversion my website | 03:42 |
| netninja | giiker: what is your linux filesystem? | 03:42 |
| netninja | giiker: and are both machines networked, as in, visible to each other on the network? | 03:43 |
| giiker | netninja: ext4 | 03:43 |
| Flannel | matin: Right. So, you're already running apache on this machine (or don't mind running it if you're not already)? | 03:43 |
| matin | yeah | 03:43 |
| matin | it's ubuntu 10.04 | 03:43 |
| netninja | giiker: http://okomestudio.net/biboroku/?p=1429 | 03:43 |
| netninja | giiker: try that | 03:43 |
| giiker | netninja: I can netwrok them together | 03:43 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright, just a couple more questions. Do you intend for this to be local-LAN only? or visible from the outside world? | 03:44 |
| matin | outside world | 03:45 |
| matin | i have that set up | 03:45 |
| matin | http://playtriumph.tk/ | 03:45 |
| Flannel | matin: over http or https or both? | 03:45 |
| giiker | netninja: reading it now, thanks!! | 03:45 |
| matin | i have no idea | 03:45 |
| matin | if you could please explain the purpose of hem | 03:45 |
| matin | them | 03:45 |
| matin | i understand https is secure | 03:45 |
| Hilarie | what would cause uptime to show high numbers while top doesn't show anything is using much cpu? | 03:47 |
| === dvz- is now known as Guest30218 | ||
| Flannel | matin: Well, currently you're serving stuff over http but not https. The only thing about this with regard to your svn is it means your passwords would be transmitted in plaintext. | 03:48 |
| matin | meh, nothing too important | 03:48 |
| matin | ill just stick with http for now | 03:49 |
| Flannel | matin: I suggest you make sure to use a different svn password than your regular user account password. Just be congizant of it :) | 03:49 |
| matin | lol | 03:50 |
| tr3es | How do I change the size for the top bar in Ubuntu 11.10? | 03:50 |
| === Guest30218 is now known as dvz | ||
| Flannel | matin: So, lets make this work. From that tutorial, I think you have a /svn directory, is this true? | 03:50 |
| matin | YEAH | 03:50 |
| matin | oops | 03:50 |
| matin | yeah* | 03:50 |
| netninja | wow | 03:51 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright, lets go ahead and delete that. We have to re-create the repository anyway, so the least we can do is do it in a non-obnoxious location. | 03:51 |
| matin | sure | 03:51 |
| netninja | no matter what I do, I cannot seem to salvage this ubuntu install to get it to hibernate, suspend, or use a swapfile | 03:51 |
| matin | I'm also new to linux | 03:51 |
| matin | …so how do i do that? | 03:51 |
| * netninja contemplates reformatting/reinstalling | 03:51 | |
| Flannel | matin: I'll come back to that, give me a sec. | 03:51 |
| matin | sure | 03:51 |
| Flannel | matin: Do you have /var on a separate (large) partition, because you're expecting to put a lot of stuff in /var/www? or do we just have one partition with everything on it? | 03:52 |
| matin | well | 03:52 |
| matin | i moved html directory from /var/www | 03:52 |
| matin | to /home/fouad/public_html | 03:52 |
| Flannel | matin: ... why did you do that? | 03:52 |
| matin | idk | 03:53 |
| tr3es | How do I change the size for the top bar in Ubuntu 11.10? Anyone? | 03:53 |
| netninja | matin: are you planning on using this system with a lot of other people, or just yourself? | 03:53 |
| matin | sorry tries, i don't use ubuntu | 03:53 |
| matin | netninja, by myself | 03:53 |
| Flannel | matin: No worries, everyone is new at some point :) | 03:53 |
| netninja | matin: was there a need to move this directory? | 03:53 |
| matin | netninja, nope :) | 03:53 |
| matin | seemed like a good idea | 03:54 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright. I'm not going to deal with that at the moment, but go ahead and pastebin the output of `df -h` (pastebin is http://planet.ubuntu.com/, you paste output, hit 'submit' then give the url here for us to look at) | 03:54 |
| netninja | matin: and what are you trying to do exactly? like, what are you using the /var/www/html or /home/you/whatever directory for, just your apache, right? | 03:54 |
| Flannel | matin: Er, sorry. paste.ubuntu.com | 03:54 |
| matin | netninja yeah | 03:55 |
| matin | and it's working | 03:55 |
| matin | http://playtriumph.tk | 03:55 |
| matin | Flannel, any directory? | 03:55 |
| netninja | matin: sorry, I guess I"m confused as to your specific problem? | 03:55 |
| Flannel | matin: just `df -h` | 03:55 |
| Flannel | netninja: Setting up subversion server. | 03:55 |
| matin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/761225/ | 03:55 |
| matin | netninja, I'm trying to set up an svn | 03:56 |
| matin | i guess this is one of the drawbacks of learning coding on webhosts | 03:56 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright, so we've just got everything in /, which is fine. We're still going to put /svn in /var though, because that's where it belongs. (There is no standard here, other than /var for variable sized data) | 03:56 |
| netninja | matin: you're setting up svn into your html directory for your website? | 03:56 |
| * netninja shuts up, Flannel obviously has this one :) | 03:56 | |
| matin | lol | 03:56 |
| matin | ok so how do i move it | 03:57 |
| matin | just svnadmin? | 03:57 |
| Flannel | matin: Personally, I made a /var/devel/ which I then put /svn/ and other things in, but you're free to just create it in /var/svn/ | 03:57 |
| matin | i cd'd into var | 03:57 |
| matin | then i just do svnadmin create /svn? | 03:57 |
| Flannel | matin: No, we're not moving, we're going to delete the old one: `sudo rm -r /svn` (Be very careful with that, you don't want a space in between '/' and 'svn') | 03:58 |
| Flannel | matin: No | 03:58 |
| matin | alright deleted | 03:58 |
| matin | lol yeah deleting / would be pretty bad | 03:58 |
| Resistance | Flannel: PM for a sec? | 03:58 |
| Flannel | Resistance: Always. | 03:59 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright, now go ahead and make a svn folder, sudo mkdir /var/svn/ if you want it in /var/svn/ (for example, mine is /var/devel/svn/) | 03:59 |
| matin | alright | 04:00 |
| matin | i just stuck with /var/svn | 04:00 |
| SachinDey | I installed Ocelot yesterday and i don't see the GRUB before it startup, Grub did install | 04:00 |
| Flannel | matin: That's fine. Ok. So, in our head we realize we have to update the apache config to point there, which we'll do in a minute. Right now, I need to ask: Is this going to be your only svn repository? or do you think you'll have an immediate need for more than one? | 04:01 |
| Resistance | SachinDey: if there's no other OSes, you wont see grub usually | 04:01 |
| matin | nope | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | SachinDey: if you hold shift at boot, do you see grub then? | 04:01 |
| matin | only this one | 04:01 |
| Flannel | matin: We can add more later, of course, so you're not really locked in, but we can do it for "1" now or for "many" now (with a little bit more work) | 04:01 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright, good. | 04:01 |
| === aidenhong_ is now known as aidenhong | ||
| Flannel | matin: Alright, I'd normally say we're ready to create it, but before, I feel compelled to ask: did you change the default user/group that apache runs as? | 04:02 |
| matin | ... | 04:02 |
| matin | is there a way to check? | 04:02 |
| Flannel | matin: this would consist of replacing `www-data` with $something-else in your apache config. | 04:02 |
| === Auriel__ is now known as Auriel | ||
| matin | i feel as if a tutorial told me to | 04:03 |
| Flannel | matin: This is why I asked :) Also, did I mention howtogeek is a rotten place for tutorials yet? :) | 04:03 |
| matin | haha | 04:03 |
| SachinDey | I see it now, thanks ActionParship | 04:04 |
| SachinDey | Its just a solo linux machine, Resistance | 04:04 |
| Flannel | matin: If you didn't change anything, /etc/apache2/envvars would list it, BUT since you may have hardcoded it, we'll need to probably check /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. So, the command to do that: | 04:04 |
| matin | nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf? | 04:05 |
| Flannel | matin: Nah, we'll use grep, it's easier! | 04:05 |
| matin | ah ok | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | SachinDey: if its only Ubuntu then Grub won't show as there isn't really much need, you can use the shift trick if you need recovery mode or an older kernel to boot | 04:05 |
| matin | so just sudo grep /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 04:05 |
| Flannel | matin: Let me pause this, because this is a teaching moment. | 04:06 |
| matin | sure | 04:06 |
| Flannel | matin: So, `sudo` is only used when you need elevated permissions. MOST (not all, but probably 99%) config files are world readable, so there's no reason to sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf (unless you intend to change something) or sudo grep /etc/whatever | 04:07 |
| matin | oh | 04:07 |
| SachinDey | One of the good thing about Ocelot is, the 10 seconds start up | 04:07 |
| Flannel | matin: Its not the end of the world, most of the time sudo X will work just fine, but it can cause problems, and certainly can lead to accidental changes :) | 04:08 |
| matin | ah ok | 04:08 |
| Flannel | matin: anyway, the command you can pastebin the output to is: grep User /etc/apache2/apache2.conf && grep Group /etc/apache2/apache2.conf && grep www-data /etc/apache2/envvars | 04:08 |
| matin | thank you | 04:08 |
| Flannel | matin: All on one line (command1 && command2 && command3 means 'do command1, then if it has no errors, do command2, and the same with command3) | 04:08 |
| matin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/761237/ | 04:09 |
| bowikaxu_ | hello, anyone who can recommend a tutorial, doc, forum, etc ... on ubuntu orchestra server? | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | SachinDey: if boot time impresses you, try xpud. Boots in 3 seconds here | 04:09 |
| matin | oh | 04:09 |
| bowikaxu_ | can't create node servers :-S | 04:09 |
| DroidInc | can i use grid with gnome3? | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | DroidInc: sure, enable it | 04:09 |
| Flannel | matin: So that command looked first for the string 'User' in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, then it looked for 'Group' in the same file, and then the last command looked for 'www-data' in /etc/apache2/envvars | 04:09 |
| DroidInc | under compiz? | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | DroidInc: yes, in ccsm | 04:10 |
| Flannel | matin: The first two told me you haven't hard coded the values (theyre still ${APACHE_RUN_USER} and ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP}, respectively) and the last one told me you haven't changed the defaults for those settings either. | 04:10 |
| Ed_Money | when upgrading to 11.10, something went wrong and now my computer boots up to the GNU GRUB screen. I can run "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-12-generic in recovery mode" and see that my home directory looks to be mostly in tact. How can I fix my machine so it boots up to 11.10 or the previous version? | 04:11 |
| the_hulk | how i can share a large file upto 2 GB with my peer? | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | the_hulk: samba or ftp or sftp will do it | 04:12 |
| DroidInc | ActionParsnip: its enabled but the key bindings dont work anyway to get em to? | 04:12 |
| bowikaxu_ | anyone with orchestra server knowledge? | 04:12 |
| Flannel | matin: Still with me? Or confused as heck? (Take your time, just want to make sure you're not looking at the screen dumbfounded) | 04:13 |
| the_hulk | ActionParsnip, ok | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | DroidInc: are you using unity? | 04:13 |
| DroidInc | gnome3 | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | DroidInc: Unity is a shell for gnome 3 | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | DroidInc: so if you use unity you will also be using gnome 3 | 04:14 |
| matin | Flannel, sorry had to get up for a second | 04:14 |
| Flannel | matin: No worries. | 04:14 |
| matin | I'm good :) | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | DroidInc: if you press ALT+F2 and run: compiz --replace does it activate? | 04:14 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright. So, the point of that was to figure out what user and group apache runs as. You're still default, which means it runs as www-data:www-data. | 04:15 |
| roasted | hello! I am unable to unmount my sd card. It just sits there for... well... forever. Literally. GParted, disk utility, etc. I'm also experiencing issues with this sd card in my phone. I was trying to pop it in my laptop to do a file system check but I can't unmount it to initiate the FS check. Any ideas? | 04:15 |
| DroidInc | killed my gnome3 | 04:15 |
| DroidInc | but now my grid keybindngs work | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DroidInc: you just need to reload the WM so it rereads the config | 04:15 |
| matin | Flannel: right | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DroidInc: Gnome was untouched, only compiz changed | 04:15 |
| Flannel | matin: Now that we know that, we want to make /var/svn/ owned by www-data:www-data (because the apache user is going to be how we interact with it): sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/svn/ | 04:16 |
| matin | alright done | 04:16 |
| DroidInc | cant alt f2 and no terminal open =X | 04:16 |
| roasted | this sd card is driving me crazy... | 04:17 |
| Flannel | matin: Now, we're ready to create our svn repository. Again, we want to do this as our apache user. So we'll use sudo to open a shell as our apache user, then move to our subversion directory, then make a repository. What name do you want to give this repository? | 04:17 |
| roasted | once I forcibly unmount it, it wont come back unless I restart my laptop. awesome | 04:17 |
| Ed_Money | how can I back up my home directory in recovery mode? | 04:18 |
| matin | triumph | 04:18 |
| matin | Flannel: triumph | 04:18 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright. So, `sudo -u www-data -i` (it likely won't ask for your password, but if it does, remember, it's YOUR password) | 04:19 |
| DroidInc | how do i reload gnome wm now | 04:19 |
| Flannel | matin: then you'll see probably nothing but a `$` prompt. You're essentially logged in as apache right now, you can probably `ls` and see your site's files. So we want to change to our subversion directory, `cd /var/svn/` | 04:20 |
| Flannel | matin: and then create our repository: `svnadmin create triumph` | 04:20 |
| matin | when i did ls | 04:20 |
| Flannel | matin: sure | 04:20 |
| matin | it says ls: cannot open directory .: Permission denied | 04:20 |
| Flannel | matin: Oh, this could be due to the fact that you moved it to your homedir. | 04:21 |
| StepNjump | matin you may need to chown | 04:21 |
| StepNjump | matin go on your terminal and type ls -al | 04:21 |
| Flannel | matin: You can cd /var/svn/ and `ls` successfully though, right? (it'll be empty, but it wont error) | 04:21 |
| matin | sudo chown www-data:www-data /home/fouad/public_html | 04:21 |
| Flannel | matin: No, don't do that. | 04:22 |
| StepNjump | Oh sorry Flannel, I didn't realize you were helping him | 04:22 |
| matin | oops i just did that :P | 04:22 |
| Flannel | matin: That's alright. It gave you a "you're not allowed" message anyway, because you're www-data, right? | 04:22 |
| matin | yeah Flannel | 04:22 |
| matin | i can cd into svn and ls | 04:22 |
| matin | i mean /var/svn | 04:22 |
| Flannel | matin: (even if you did it as your user, we can fix it later) | 04:22 |
| Flannel | matin: right. So, `svnadmin create triumph` (we could have just did `svnadmin create /var/svn/triumph` instead of cd etc too, but this is obviously more educational :) | 04:23 |
| Northwoods | When i run localhost , it says Forbidden , you dont' have access to / | 04:23 |
| matin | where do i do that | 04:23 |
| Flannel | matin: Just in the terminal, where you're currently in /var/svn/ as www-data | 04:23 |
| Flannel | matin: Same terminal | 04:23 |
| matin | oic | 04:24 |
| matin | ok created | 04:24 |
| Flannel | matin: 'triumph' in that case is a relative path, 'whereever I am' being the default working directory | 04:24 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright, now we want to get out of our www-data terminal, and go back to your normal user, so we use `exit` (which is similar but different than logout) | 04:25 |
| matin | k | 04:25 |
| matin | i also use exit to exit ssh | 04:25 |
| vicro | olap view for linux??? | 04:25 |
| OerHeks | vicro what is olap view ? | 04:26 |
| Flannel | matin: After that, we need to go into apache and point it at our new repository location. So... lets see, this would be in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 04:27 |
| Flannel | matin: At least, that's probably where it is. You may have done it differently if you were using a different tutorial. | 04:27 |

| Flannel | matin: Actually, let me ask this instead. Can you please pastebin the contents of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dav_svn.conf? | 04:50 |
| StepNjump | arkandabar, did you download hplip? | 04:50 |
| au_fait | gnome reminded me of NeXt | 04:50 |
| arkanabar | lemme double check. | 04:50 |
| arkanabar | StepNjump, yep, it's the newest version. | 04:51 |
| matin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/761261/ | 04:51 |
| arkanabar | I remember something about the URI being autoconfigured wrong last time, but I can't find anything on that. | 04:51 |
| StepNjump | arkanabar, did you run it with the printer connected or unplugged? | 04:51 |
| au_fait | btb | 04:51 |
| au_fait | brb' | 04:52 |
| Flannel | matin: Alright, so you have (line 19): SVNPath /svn/triumph, this needs to be /var/svn/triumph | 04:52 |
| arkanabar | StepNjump, I don't suppose I've run it. Which is better, & should I delete the printer I have now? | 04:52 |
| StepNjump | Well, when I installed my printer, it worked fine but when I ran hplip, my printer was not connected arkanabar | 04:53 |
| Flannel | matin: If you look at your error log, it was looking for /svn/triumph/format (format is a file in the repository that apache was looking for), which is how I knew this wasn't configured correctly (should be looking for /var/svn/triumph/format) | 04:53 |
| matin | ah | 04:53 |
| matin | huzzah! | 04:53 |
| matin | Revision 0 | 04:53 |
| matin | so…. how do i use it lol | 04:53 |
| matin | i know git | 04:53 |
| matin | where you do git push origin master | 04:54 |
| arkanabar | StepNjump, hplip is apparently a metapackage. what command do I need to actually run? | 04:54 |
| Flannel | matin: So, now go back to your homedir, make a scratch folder, go into it. `svn checkout https://playtriumph.tk/svn/ .` | 04:54 |
| Flannel | matin: That'll checkout the repository (its empty) to your current working directory (which, you've made a new folder for) | 04:54 |
| matin | wait | 04:55 |
| matin | I'm on my macbook pro | 04:55 |
| Flannel | matin: Er sorry, http not https. | 04:55 |
| matin | and I'm sshing into my "server" | 04:55 |
| StepNjump | hplip! but follow the instructions on the screen and in the installation instructions on the web site carefully. Each steps are important arkanabar | 04:55 |
| Flannel | matin: you can do this on your macbook pro, if you have svn installed. | 04:55 |
| matin | which is just a crappy computer in my living room | 04:55 |
| matin | how do i set it up | 04:55 |
| StepNjump | arkanabar, also, ensure your printer is supported before trying to install it | 04:55 |
| Flannel | matin: At this point, your server is set up, and we're off to svn-land. | 04:55 |
| arkanabar | StepNjump, hplip: command not found | 04:55 |
| StepNjump | It doesn't support ALL HP products! | 04:55 |
| matin | yeah | 04:55 |
| arkanabar | StepNjump, it is. I got it to work on my lappy just fine. | 04:55 |
| Flannel | matin: Install svn on your macbook.... I don't really know how to do that :) We CAN do it on your server too if that's easier | 04:55 |
| StepNjump | of course, you have to download the app. Hold on | 04:56 |
| StepNjump | I think you should run it by ./hplip | 04:56 |
| StepNjump | from the terminal line | 04:56 |
| StepNjump | Read the instructions carefully. | 04:57 |
| matin | i think it's installed | 04:57 |
| matin | what are the commands? | 04:57 |
| matin | for pushing to a svn | 04:57 |
| arkanabar | StepNjump, ./hplip: No such file or directory | 04:57 |
| Flannel | matin: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.intro.quickstart.html That book is a good book. You oviously don't need to set up a repository, just use it, so you can skip the first svnadmin bit. | 04:57 |
| Flannel | matin: `svn` is the command | 04:57 |
| matin | import? | 04:58 |
| StepNjump | arkanabar: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/installtree.html | 04:58 |
| VIPER-II | Thanks for your help ActionParsnip! | 04:58 |
| Flannel | matin: If you've got stuff you want to import, then svn import will work. I prefer an initial structure commit first, but that's just personal preference. | 04:58 |
| matin | how do i commit? | 04:59 |

| StepNjump | arkanabar: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html | 04:59 |
| Flannel | matin: svn commit -m "message", I encourage you to peruse that page/its links (and the rest of it). It's actually a pretty quick read for the basics (skip the reference and advanced stuff, etc) | 05:00 |
| Flannel | matin: especially if you're already familiar with git | 05:00 |
| matin | alright | 05:00 |
| Flannel | matin: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.tour.importing.html for instance. | 05:00 |
| matin | yeah | 05:00 |
| StepNjump | Does anyone know about an app to record all sounds coming through the soundcard? | 05:00 |
| arkanabar | StepNjump, according to your last link, hplip should support my printer. | 05:01 |
| StepNjump | good arkanabar | 05:02 |
| arkanabar | how about that. it just up and worked this time. who can figure? | 05:02 |
| StepNjump | Then just download it.. but be CAREFUL to read every screen before going to the next screen. ALSO ENSURE your printer is NOT connected UNLESS at the end when HPLIP asks you to connect the printer | 05:03 |
| StepNjump | lol arkanabar... likes the website | 05:03 |
| arkanabar | except that the printer is NOT visible when I try to print from Impress. grrrrr.... | 05:04 |
| arkanabar | eh, I opened up printer properties, and there it was.... this time. | 05:05 |

| Folklore | just wanted to let all know that fixed it and it works great now | 05:05 |

| arkanabar | StepNjump, don't think so. I unplugged the printer & plugged it back in. | 05:06 |

| matin | thanks Flannel | 05:07 |
| ActionParsnip | wrekt: which network chip is it? | 05:07 |
| StepNjump | No no arkanabar! I said don't connect your printer until HPLIP asks you to do it! UNPLUG your printer 1. download hplip, 2. run HPLIP 3 wait for the prompt to connect your printer. This is not Windows! | 05:07 |
| matin | but now when i do svn commit | 05:07 |
| matin | nothing happens >.> | 05:08 |
| wrekt | ActionParsnip, its a wirelss usb by linksys and i believe i succesfully installed the driver | 05:08 |
| StepNjump | plug and play NO! | 05:08 |
| Folklore | I do have a question fwrite doesn't seem to write anything unless I fclose | 05:08 |
| Folklore | any know why? | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | wrekt: thats the make, linksys don't make chips, they buy them from Atheros, Broadcom and Intel and make devices | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | wrekt: if you run: lsusb what is the 8 character hex ID you get? | 05:09 |

| arkanabar | StepNjump, I'm well aware it isn't Panes. And yet, in this case, it's managed to behave very much like it. | 05:16 |
| ActionParsnip | wrekt: indeed, if you look at what works before you buy, you can get a system that works out of the box | 05:16 |

| Flannel | matin: You need to svn add first. You've checked out, then you copy (filesystem) then add (files from filesystem into svn), then commit. `svn status` will tell you what has been added (not yet committed), or question marks mean "not under version control" | 05:21 |
| matin | how do i add to version control | 05:21 |
| Flannel | matin: `svn add file` | 05:21 |

| ActionParsnip | Sp0tter: which GPU too? | 07:08 |
| zeroedout | crystal: is the vendor "ati" "nvidia" or something else? | 07:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Sp0tter: looks like an ION equiv for ATi, should be fine | 07:08 |
| desertegl | actionparsnip: let me browse the links you provided, thank you. and PS. I do understand it can work on other releases, I just read that out of all releases, 9.10 had the best performance. | 07:09 |
| crystal | zeroedout, vendor: Intel Corporation | 07:09 |
| zeroedout | crystal: Then there is no proprietary driver :D! Are you experienceing any problems with the default driver? | 07:10 |
| Sp0tter | ActionParsnip: its much better than an ion | 07:10 |
| Sp0tter | according to benchmarks | 07:10 |
| Sp0tter | AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics | 07:10 |
| crystal | zeroedout, yes the videos/flash games seem laggy and fuzzy. But it could just be my computer. | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Sp0tter: I'm not an ati fan but should be fine, were the benchmarks under Linux? | 07:11 |
| Sp0tter | nope | 07:11 |
| Sp0tter | i'm a huge ATI fan, i have 20 ATI/AMD cards running now :) | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Sp0tter: then ION may work better, differnt OS. Benchmarks in Windows don't necessarily reflect Linux performance | 07:11 |
| zeroedout | crystal: flash sucks. let me state that again, flash sucks. For youtube, go to www.youtube.com/testtube look for "html5" and join the test for that. That will give you great performance, but not every video uses html5 yet (it will default back to flash if the video doesn't do html5) | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Sp0tter: I use only nvidia, they have supported Linux for as long as I've used it (started in 2001) | 07:12 |
| chalcedony | the only reason for using ati is price | 07:13 |
| Sp0tter | and btc mining | 07:13 |
| zeroedout | crystal: You can try dwhelper, to download videos in their native format. That will give you good performance on them, even full screen, but it does require the extra step to download | 07:13 |
| aum__ | zeroedout, i think when we invoke a command using sudo or gksudo and we are a sudoser then it always ask for a password... | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | zeroedout: works fine here, not had an issue | 07:14 |
| desertegl | test | 07:14 |
| crystal | zeroedout, thanks for that. How about other videos, I want to view online. Not downloading though. | 07:14 |
| nevyn | ActionParsnip: really I thought nvidia support only arrived quite recently due to dave airlie's efforts | 07:14 |
| zeroedout | crystal: As a third alternative, you can try a lighter webbrowser, chrome, rekonq, qtweb, or epiphany may deliver better performance. But I'm not certain that will help. dwhelper is probably your best bet (but it does require that one extra step) | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nevyn: it's been ages. I was running proprietary driver on my Riva TNT2 Ultra 32Mb | 07:15 |
| nevyn | oh.. proprietary driver. yeah that's not supported by linux | 07:16 |

| nevyn | ask anyone on lkml | 07:16 |
| chalcedony | ActionParsnip, my son was running nvidia at least that far back | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | x: 64bit flash works great here in chromium daily build. | 07:17 |
| zeroedout | Actionprsnip: I've had flash work great with properietary nvidia drivers, but the problem is that it is not a long term solution. When nvidia drops support for the card, I'll either be stuck on an ancient kernel or novoeu | 07:17 |
| x | ActionParsnip, hrm. well I can't have any other sound playing or it doesn't work for me which is annoying and it seems to lock up firefox all the time. i'd use chromium but there is no option to make all the text a certain size which is a deal breaker for me. | 07:18 |

| garden92 | x: cool i'll look into that | 07:30 |
| CommaCrazy | FireFox Download tab | 07:30 |
| bullgard6 | nevyn: No,I am not speaking about an animated picture. | 07:31 |
| x | Shasta_, can you just connect to the web or is that not an option ? | 07:31 |
| Shasta_ | x no I need wine to install my drivers to my linksys | 07:31 |
| Shasta_ | and wine isnt installing | 07:31 |
| x | Shasta_, linksys what ? | 07:31 |
| Shasta_ | I run the wineinstall and it crashes | 07:31 |
| nevyn | bullgard6: so gimp is an image editor (package gimp) it contains a crop operation which removes evertthing but the selected area | 07:31 |
| Shasta_ | x WUSB54GSC V2 | 07:32 |
| nevyn | this can then be saved to a new filename as a new image. | 07:32 |
| bullgard6 | nevyn: Ah, I see. Thank you very much for your help. | 07:32 |
| Shasta_ | Its not about my linksys its more about getting wine to install | 07:32 |

| x | Shasta_, yea, I have found a guide to install that device using ndiswrapper. if you'd like.. installing wine isn't going to help get that device working. and i'd really plug in a wire so I had internet incase you need to dl a program | 07:36 |
| Shasta_ | I would need a long ethernet cord then lol | 07:37 |
| Shasta_ | Can I get that guide | 07:37 |

| varys0101 | Shasta_: you dont need windows drivers necessarily | 07:38 |
| varys0101 | unless you have some crazy obscure card | 07:38 |

| StarryNight | hello guys and gals | 07:39 |
| bobweaver | Shasta what is card and ubuntu version ? | 07:40 |
| x | Shasta_, well I just saw @ the end of the guide that since ubuntu 10.04 and some kernel long since outdated its supported now. so i'd upgrade your ubuntu if possible. | 07:40 |
| Shasta_ | I can update it.. But... It'll be a pain to download | 07:40 |
| StarryNight | i just installed the latest version on my lappy and i am happy with it | 07:40 |
| varys0101 | Shasta_: clearly all you need to do is ninja your computer near your broadband modem | 07:40 |
| bobweaver | might just need a simple modprobe | 07:40 |
| Shasta_ | haha lol | 07:41 |
| varys0101 | even if you have to hang upside down from wires | 07:41 |
| x | bobweaver, what does he need to modprobe ? | 07:41 |
| Shasta_ | lol | 07:41 |
| x | wifi blows anyway wires FTW! | 07:42 |
| StarryNight | i know it is a dumb question but should i be worry about viruses? | 07:42 |
| x | StarryNight, only from your g/f sorry I had to... | 07:42 |
| Shasta_ | lol Screw it.. Im downloading the Latest Ubuntu and Installing it... At least then it saves me the troubles | 07:42 |
| StarryNight | yea lol | 07:42 |
| varys0101 | StarryNight: certainly should worry about viruses and security on one hand, on the other not really | 07:42 |

| bullgard6 | llutz_: This created a new file which comprises (all old pictures plus a second copy of the first picture). | 07:42 |

| x | the most dangerous thing on ubuntu is the sudo command. | 07:43 |
| StarryNight | i bought this lappy used windows for couple weeks and went back to linux | 07:43 |
| varys0101 | good point x | 07:43 |
| llutz_ | bullgard6: oh, wrong guess though (works with multiframe gif). sry | 07:43 |
| x | I have fubar'ed more than one ubuntu using sudo! | 07:43 |

| varys0101 | StarryNight: make sure you know what a command does before you paste it in to your CLI | 07:43 |
| Seveas | sudo make me a sandwich | 07:43 |

| varys0101 | sudo or sudonot there is no /try/ | 07:44 |

| Shasta_ | Haha lol | 07:44 |
| Shasta_ | Yup | 07:44 |
| kazagistar | my I downloaded the bios update for my aspire one (that is supposed to solve a number of issues). However, it contains only a .bin, a .wph, and a flashing program for windows or dos. When I try to run the dos version under a live freedos, it says "illegal Instruction occured". Any ideas? | 07:44 |
| x | pretty l33t eh. | 07:44 |
| varys0101 | all right so ive been using ubuntu since intrepid ibex and no i still dont know crap about linux -- i cant get my headphone jack working out of the box on oneiric for the first time | 07:45 |
| Seveas | kazagistar, yeah, boot into windows. | 07:45 |
| CommaCrazy | nvm just needed to choose nautilus | 07:45 |
| Seveas | those things don't run under anything else | 07:45 |
| varys0101 | it works, its just coming out of both speakers and headphones | 07:45 |
| bullgard6 | llutz_: Thank you for commenting. | 07:45 |
| Shasta_ | Ubuntu makes my life easier XD | 07:45 |
| x | varys0101, open from a terminal 'alsamixer' and make sure nothing has an MM in the bottom should be 00 | 07:45 |
| kazagistar | Seveas: and if I dont have windows? and the drive is a encrypted LVM partition? | 07:46 |
| x | varys0101, oh wait it does work, then just mute you speakers. | 07:46 |

| its_me | Hello, does anyone know a git revision system that's closest to GitHub and installable on Ubuntu (11.10)? | 07:47 |
| varys0101 | x: i see that front jack was set to mic instead of line in i think im hot on its trail thanks | 07:48 |
| Seveas | its_me, gitosis + cgit gives you shared repos and a web interface for browsing. No bugtracking and all the other shazam | 07:48 |
| x | varys0101, also, the program pavucontrol is very handy! you might have to download it. | 07:48 |
| nevyn | Seveas: gitolite is the current prefered access control system for git. gitosis is essentially unmaintained | 07:49 |
| its_me | Seveas: bug tracking and stuff are important right? | 07:49 |
| nevyn | its_me: gitolite gerrit, gitweb trac(with some effort) | 07:50 |
| Seveas | nevyn, ah, good to knoe | 07:50 |
| almoxarife | kazagistar: I have found win-dos on the internet, look for repairing MBR, that's what I needed it for then | 07:50 |
| Seveas | eww trac | 07:50 |
| === Shasta_ is now known as Shastafication | ||

| Seveas | I just use github. Pay for private repositories if you need private stuff. | 07:50 |
| bobweaver | how to stop ubuntu from installing popularity contest on install ? | 07:50 |
| its_me | nevyn: I don't understand. A bit more clear please? (I am new to git & programming) | 07:50 |
| x | what is popularity contest ? | 07:50 |
| kazagistar | almoxarife: are you saying I can use MS-DOS or something to run it? | 07:51 |
| almoxarife | bobweaver: remove the package | 07:51 |
| wookienz | guys, i have a WD 2 drive Raid 1 USB device. One of the drives has gone bad. any chance i can just remove the good drive, stick it in my ubuntu system and mirror it just in case the other goes bad/ | 07:51 |
| bobweaver | x: Iit is used to giveinfo to devs about what is installed on your computer | 07:51 |
| x | bobweaver, as in developers ? | 07:51 |
| bobweaver | x: yes | 07:51 |
| x | hrm weird. I have never heard of it. | 07:52 |
| bobweaver | debian package I think | 07:52 |
| almoxarife | kazagistar: run a bios upgrade? | 07:52 |
| nevyn | its_me: so if you like github use github. if you want to keep everything onsite. then there are a bunch of options. | 07:52 |
| varys0101 | x: interesting pavucontrol -- i have no concept however on what settings are optimal -- im confused at what these two devices even are. on windows its just realtek driver or whatever. ive got an HDMI device that shows activity and internal stereo audio that doesnt | 07:52 |
| kazagistar | almoxarife: yeah, one that does not work in freedos | 07:52 |
| x | varys0101, are you using a stereo wire out for audio on your pc? | 07:52 |
| its_me | nevyn: okay, thanks. | 07:52 |
| bobweaver | x: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/popularity-contest | 07:53 |

| cheshair | Hi! I was told to get and try instantbird as an irc client. On my Ubuntu 11.10 repos is not present, though. Is there any particular reason for this? Or is it just that the package is yet to be created? | 07:53 |
| x | bobweaver, weird. sounds almost like spyware (harmless though) but for linux haha! | 07:53 |
| almoxarife | !info popularity-contest | 07:53 |

| Resistance | cheshair: there's other IRC clients available, if you cant find one | 07:53 |
| x | varys0101, I mean, how are you getting audio out of your computer. using speakers connected via analog or... ? | 07:54 |
| nevyn | its_me: you also may want to checkout gitorious | 07:54 |
| varys0101 | x: internal laptop speakers | 07:54 |
| bobweaver | x: lol repos are spy ware but good ones | 07:54 |
| nevyn | which is probably the closest to what you want | 07:54 |
| kazagistar | afaik, there is a opt-in check box for popularity contest, unlike spyware | 07:54 |
| cheshair | Resistance, well... I know there are others :-) | 07:54 |
| andrew_46 | cheshair: Don't like xchat, irssi etc? | 07:54 |
| Seveas | wookienz, yeah, that should work | 07:54 |
| its_me | nevyn: I couldn't find the downloadable files | 07:54 |
| nevyn | ? | 07:54 |
| x | varys0101, sorry, and whats your problem again ( your sound is working correct ) ? | 07:54 |

| === zz_r3v0 is now known as r3v0 | ||
| its_me | Anyway, I will look into it again now and see if I can find the links | 07:55 |
| varys0101 | x: my problem is just ignorance and not knowing what the right setting is most likely. yeah i can get sound just not exclusively from the headphones | 07:55 |
| bobweaver | almoxarife: I just remove with apt before running ubiquity ? | 07:55 |
| cheshair | andrew_46, i am using xchat but i don't like it very much, i can give irssi a try but i preferred something more of a gui than of a tui | 07:55 |
| x | varys0101, ok. one sec | 07:55 |
| nevyn | its_me: http://coding-journal.com/installing-gitorious-on-ubuntu-11-04/ | 07:55 |
| andrew_46 | cheshair: Looks like it has a simple binary: http://instantbird.com/faq.html#installlinux | 07:55 |
| Resistance | eww | 07:55 |
| Resistance | cheshair: you realize instantbird isnt technically a full irc client right? | 07:55 |
| * Resistance was reading through reviews about it | 07:56 | |
| varys0101 | Resistance: *eye roll | 07:56 |
| its_me | nevyn: Thanks a lot for the link. I will check it out today. Gotta run. TC and thanks again! :D | 07:56 |
| almoxarife | bobweaver: you don't want it? sudo apt-get remove popularity-contest done! | 07:56 |
| StarryNight | anyone is running nvidia video card? | 07:56 |
| Resistance | cheshair: its closer to pidgin than IRC client | 07:56 |
| bobweaver | almoxarife: sweet I will try | 07:56 |
| Resistance | StarryNight: yeah, but not one with Optimus. Sup | 07:56 |
| x | varys0101, so it plays through your internal speakers and your headphones currently ? | 07:56 |
| bobweaver | almoxarife: I hope that it is not build into ubiquity | 07:56 |
| almoxarife | bobweaver: it will probably brake ubuntu-desktop though | 07:57 |
| cheshair | andrew_46, yes but i thought it was better using software from the ubuntu repos (does this idea of mine make any sense?) | 07:57 |
| * bobweaver needs to learn more about live cd | 07:57 | |
| x | bobweaver, if when you do that command, it wants to remove alot of packages. don't do it lol | 07:57 |
| StarryNight | oh just wondered i installed the drivers for it but i noticed jitter and would evey few seconds just freeze the screen for like a second or so when watching a movie | 07:57 |
| Resistance | StarryNight: i get that too, sometimes. | 07:58 |
| bobweaver | x: lol | 07:58 |
| StarryNight | wondered if thats common | 07:58 |
| gnome-xchat | hi | 07:58 |
| Resistance | StarryNight: could be just the movie, or some weird issue with your card, but i dont think its uncommon | 07:58 |
| Resistance | StarryNight: i've seen it with nvidia, intel, and ati(amd) cards, so its not specific to nvidia | 07:59 |
| andrew_46 | cheshair: From the repository is recommended but should not limit you completely :). Looks easy enough to install, give me a sec and I will try it | 07:59 |
| gnome-xchat | im new to ubuntu and lovin it | 07:59 |
| cheshair | Resistance, i see... i didn't get that, thanks for pointing out. Main issue form me is that I am looking for some confortable way of turning on my pc and having automatically logged in in my IRC chans of choice. With xchat autologin capabilities this is a pain, as far as i can se | 07:59 |
| x | varys0101, in alsamixer if you use your arrow keys to scroll, you see nothing in there named speakers or something that would indicate it controls the laptop speakers? | 07:59 |
| cheshair | *see | 07:59 |
| Resistance | StarryNight: also, there's a bunch of other factors that cound impoact that | 07:59 |
| bobweaver | I dont care if it is on my computer as long as dpkg dont touch it :>) | 07:59 |
| Resistance | cheshair: nothing will *easily* do that | 07:59 |
| Resistance | save for pidgin or stuff like it | 07:59 |
| varys0101 | x: i dont get any sound anymore i totally just screwed around too much its a settings thing .. re: alsamixer yes i see speakers | 07:59 |
| Resistance | cheshair: anything that claims to be instant messaging and irc... | 07:59 |
| cheshair | Resistance, ah thank you so much | 07:59 |
| Resistance | cheshair: is probably not a full irc client | 07:59 |
| Resistance | cheshair: you can set xchat as a startup item though | 08:00 |
| Resistance | i.e. after you login it loads | 08:00 |
| StarryNight | when i run windows i have no problem but just linux but if i just use generic drivers i dont get that issue just with nvidia drivers for linux | 08:00 |
| Resistance | but i'd not recommend that | 08:00 |
| x | varys0101, ok. hit M on the one called speaker and the 00's should go away on the bottom. | 08:00 |
| varys0101 | x: master, speaker, pcm, front, front mic jack mode, S/PDIF, S/PDIF Default PCM, S/DIF Playback SOurce, Beep | 08:00 |
| x | varys0101, make sure everything except speaker is unmuted. | 08:00 |
| kazagistar | when I turn on my netbook normally, it blackscreens right away until I turn it off, but if I turn it on in recovery and "resume" it boots normally | 08:01 |
| varys0101 | x: do i want it MM or 00 is one muted or something | 08:02 |
| x | varys0101, MM is muted | 08:02 |
| cheshair | Resistance, each time I launch xchat, it automatically log me in in ubuntu channel, which i do not want. There is a way to change this, of course, but i didn't find it, that's a bit frustrating. Anyway, you already answered my question, thank you very much | 08:03 |
| Resistance | cheshair: #xchat for xchat help | 08:03 |
| Resistance | cheshair: but you're welcome :) | 08:03 |
| cheshair | Resistance, yes sure | 08:03 |
| varys0101 | x: thanks for your help, i got it to work by turning speakers bar all the way down (while unmuted) | 08:03 |
| varys0101 | handy alsamixer thing | 08:04 |
| varys0101 | muting speakers though makes both headphones and internal speakers go away | 08:04 |
| x | varys0101, hrm ... | 08:04 |
| varys0101 | but turning speakers to 0<>0 is a workaround it seems | 08:05 |
| garden92 | how would i install a game from an iso? | 08:05 |
| x | varys0101, in pavucontrol on the config tab. under the card ur using (internel audio) or whatever. in the dropdown box of options does it have any like line out or something. | 08:05 |
| x | varys0101, I don't doubt what ur saying it's just weird that it would work that way. | 08:06 |
| kazagistar | garden92: if it lacks more nasty copy protections, you should be able to just mount it and run it (in wine if it is a windows game) | 08:06 |
| === aidenhong_ is now known as aidenhong | ||
| varys0101 | x: nope | 08:06 |
| varys0101 | x: three options with the word "output" | 08:07 |
| x | garden92, if it's a new game, or one that uses like alot of resources it probably won't work / run very well in wine | 08:07 |
| andrew_46 | cheshair: This will get you a look at the application in action anyway: http://paste.ubuntu.com/761376/ It is a single command... | 08:07 |
| x | varys0101, your using the internal audio analog, like an intel chip or something ? | 08:07 |
| varys0101 | x: yeah i guess according to alsamixer its.. | 08:07 |
| StarryNight | ok so i signed in with 2d ubuntu and it seems to fix the problems | 08:07 |

| cheshair | andrew_46, that's too kind of you! thank you veeery much! | 08:08 |
| its_me | nevyn: Ubuntu Software Center has gitolite + gitweb (as addon for gitolite), which is easier to install. Do they have the same interface as GitHub? | 08:08 |
| garden92 | X: its a linux port and i think older then 04 | 08:08 |
| its_me | nevyn: (This is a private project and I wouldn't host it on another service) | 08:08 |
| x | garden92, if it's ported to linux why do you need wine? | 08:09 |
| andrew_46 | cheshair: If you like the application you should be able to drop the whole folder and contents in /usr/local | 08:09 |
| cheshair | andrew_46, fine | 08:09 |
| garden92 | x: thats just what kazagistar said. im not trying to use wine | 08:09 |
| x | varys0101, oh. well i'm not sure on the details of that kind of card (IDT?) but if turning down the speaker vol works for you i'd say go with it since im not sure what else you can try if muting the speaker also mutes the headphone. | 08:10 |
| x | varys0101, the only control I know that should affect everything would be 'pcm' | 08:10 |
| x | or master obviously... | 08:10 |
| Folklore | im running server in terminal | 08:11 |

| RTYGY45 | hail !! | 08:13 |
| x | StarryNight, oh. it's just a gigabyte mobo with an i3-550 overclocked to 4.2ghz with an upgraded air cooler. nothing special just a kit I bought a year or so ago. | 08:13 |
| StarryNight | darn | 08:14 |
| RTYGY45 | x yeah overclocking latest CPUs is easy | 08:14 |
| RTYGY45 | you get at least 1.5Ghz out of it | 08:14 |
| RTYGY45 | but you break it fast | 08:14 |
| x | RTYGY45, yea all I did was give it +0.40 vcore to push from 3.2ghz to 4.2ghz | 08:14 |
| RTYGY45 | also power consumption increase so you pay more money for it | 08:14 |

| * andrew_46 waves to benonsoftware :) | 08:21 | |
| ubottu | RTYGY45: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 08:21 |
| StepNjump | Oh breat bobweaver, let me try that one | 08:21 |

| ikonia | !skype | x | 08:42 |
| ubottu | x: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 08:42 |
| llutz_ | !tor | master_ | 08:42 |
| Superxgl | hi all, a side question pls, what is the difference between open source software and traditional software in testing ? | 08:42 |
| ubottu | master_: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 08:42 |
| master_ | i had problem | 08:42 |

| aiu_ | nope, the "mozilla" collaborative development ide | 08:53 |
| aiu_ | @ iceroot | 08:53 |
| x | StepNjump, how did you try to install them. and are you on 32bit linux ? | 08:54 |
| aiu_ | @ iceroot http://cloud9.io/ | 08:54 |
| Raghu__ | When compiling the package, mingw-runtime-3.15.2 I am getting the *** buffer overflow detected *** | 08:54 |
| llutz_ | StepNjump: did you "sudo apt-get -f install" after installing those? what error do you get? | 08:54 |
| StepNjump | x yes on 32 bits | 08:54 |
| iceroot | aiu_: server down | 08:54 |
| aiu_ | sorry @ iceroot http://c9.io/ | 08:54 |
| StepNjump | llutz_: it just wouldn't connect to the printer I think... Let me see the error message I received | 08:54 |
| Raghu__ | When compiling the package, mingw-runtime-3.15.2 I am getting the *** buffer overflow detected *** Is this my i386-gnu-linux/libc problem? | 08:55 |
| RTYGY45 | which is better? GRUB or LILO bootloader ? | 08:55 |
| aiu_ | @ iceroot https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9 | 08:55 |
| llutz_ | RTYGY45: depends on your needs. both do their job | 08:56 |

| x | mazda01, not really drives fail whenever they want. | 09:12 |
| ikonia | mazda01: break in ? | 09:12 |
| x | mazda01, and by doing tons of stress tests or whatever to make sure it won't fail, you might make it fail haha! | 09:12 |
| mazda01 | x true BUT if I test it thoroughly I can be sure it's not a DOA for the most part | 09:12 |
| x | mazda01, check it for bad sectors, if no bad sectors. then it's not currently DOA | 09:13 |
| mazda01 | ikonia, ensuring a drive is NOT DOA | 09:13 |
| === krabbe is now known as Krabbe | ||

| mazda01 | i have stirred the pot. LOL | 09:13 |
| x | not true at all lol. | 09:13 |
| ikonia | yes it is true | 09:13 |
| ikonia | if a hard disk spins up, it's not "dead" | 09:13 |
| x | so a disk that spins up but is unuseable it's not 'dead' | 09:13 |
| x | ? | 09:14 |

| mazda01 | i have been looking into unRAID and many suppliers of hard drive server (file storage) claim to break in servers for 2 weeks prior to shipping it to you | 09:14 |

| theadmin | Why use dd to make a partition table anyway? fdisk /dev/sda <<< "o" | 09:14 |
| StepNjump | x and mazda01 Awsome.. It installed! Now I have to configure the network. What is the difference between the CUPS and LPR driver? | 09:14 |
| mazda01 | theadmin, i never said I am using dd to make a partition table | 09:14 |
| theadmin | mazda01: to wipe, I meant | 09:15 |
| x | mazda01, anyway I have gotten like 10 hd's over the years with 'bad sectors' on them as soon as I got them they spin up, but they are useless since they are already failing and will only give problems. | 09:15 |
| mazda01 | StepNjump, glad it worked, no idea. you'd have to google to find out different | 09:15 |
| theadmin | mazda01: You can just create a new one (the command I specified does so for /dev/sda) | 09:15 |
| x | StepNjump, i don't know what lpr is, but ubuntu uses cups | 09:15 |
| mazda01 | x that's my point. so what is the test to check for bad sectors? | 09:15 |
| x | check the brother website for more info | 09:15 |
| StepNjump | oh ok.. that's what it worked anyway x.. Thanks a lot to mazda01 also | 09:15 |
| StepNjump | Works so great with the TAB in weechat.. this is soo awsome | 09:16 |
| x | mazda01, um, under system administration like gnome-disk-utility or something shows if you have bad sectors | 09:16 |

| mazda01 | footofthehare, no, at some point you can hit ctrl-alt-f1 | 09:18 |
| ikonia | Raghu__: look at the libc component it's using from your toolchain | 09:18 |
| ikonia | looking at that error, it's in there | 09:18 |
| mazda01 | footofthehare, and that will take you a terminal like window to log in without a gui, is that what you mean? | 09:18 |
| footofthehare | yes, mazda | 09:18 |
| elagoz | how i can open Ntfs on Xubuntu ? | 09:19 |

| mazda01 | so it's almost done then? | 09:20 |
| llutz_ | mazda01: correct | 09:20 |
| mazda01 | llutz, thanks | 09:20 |
| Raghu__ | ikonia: how to i update my libc component? | 09:20 |
| footofthehare | ok ctrl alt f1 just makes the screen go blank, am i screwed here? | 09:21 |
| ikonia | you don't | 09:21 |
| ikonia | Raghu__: and it looks like it's the libc component in the toolchain, not the system | 09:21 |
| footofthehare | do i have to do a complete reinstall | 09:21 |
| mazda01 | x i have a disk utility which is this command: palimpsest | 09:21 |
| deej1976 | x: palimpsest | 09:21 |
| mazda01 | footofthehare, slow down, relax. | 09:21 |
| x | mazda01, yea I just figured that out on google | 09:21 |
| x | mazda01, that is the one i was talking about. | 09:21 |
| mazda01 | footofthehare, what is the issue? | 09:21 |
| Raghu__ | ikonia: but the backtrace logs shows that libc is picked from this location /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | 09:22 |
| bobweaver | footofthehare: no you do not worse case boot live cd mount hard drive and chroot it then rm the nvidia that locks you up | 09:22 |
| x | mazda01, if you select a disk, on the right it shows its status if it's healthy or has bad sectors! you can even do benchmarks on it. | 09:22 |
| x | deej1976, thanks also. | 09:22 |
| ikonia | Raghu__: sounds like your spec file is not aligned then | 09:22 |
| mazda01 | x ah, ok. i love the Main Menu choice in my 10.04 install, cause it shows me exactly what menu choices are and what exact command they are. Did that stay in 10.10, 11.04, and 11.10? | 09:22 |
| footofthehare | I removed the nvidia drivers that were installed to get the 64 bit ones, and the guide was following said that after i removed them i just need to go into a terminal when i reset and install the new ones but i see no terminal just the purple screen | 09:22 |
| mazda01 | lol dd: writing `/dev/sdd': No space left on device | 09:23 |

| mazda01 | YEAH, DONE!!!!!! | 09:23 |
| elagoz | i don't hv anything in manger files ? | 09:23 |
| x | mazda01, idk cause this was an Xubuntu (xfce ubuntu) install that I changed to fluxbox, so I make my own custom menu entry's for programs I actually use, some times like just a second ago it can be annoying to find a programs name when it's nothing to do with the package heh ;-) but I love fluxbox so it's worth it. and it does auto-add most stuff to the menus' | 09:23 |
| footofthehare | going to burn one with the laptop i guess i had one but i gave it away, lol | 09:23 |
| footofthehare | so i need live cd? | 09:23 |
| theadmin | elagoz: So what, just access it the normal way via the console... | 09:23 |
| ikonia | Raghu__: your compiler uses a spec file to contain it's paths on where to look/link against, | 09:23 |
| jasonmsp | hey all.. Where can I go for help writing expressions for searches in Evolution? | 09:23 |

| bobweaver | footofthehare: it is good to share | 09:24 |

| happygolucky | footofthehare: you should also be able to get a terminal from ctrl alt t | 09:25 |
| Raghu__ | ikonia: Ok, I also guess the same. Where exactly this spec file woule be and what is the name of it? | 09:25 |
| footofthehare | k burning live cd now | 09:25 |
| mazda01 | footofthehare, no, you don't need a live cd | 09:25 |
| bobweaver | footofthehare: good | 09:25 |
| theadmin | master_: Um, they are both just commands. | 09:25 |
| ikonia | Raghu__: it depends on your toolchain/setup, I can't help on that as I don't know wha tyou've setup | 09:25 |
| master_ | ok | 09:25 |
| mazda01 | footofthehare, i don't who you want help from BUT, if all you did was change some graphics drivers, you shoulkd be able to access tty1 easily | 09:25 |
| ikonia | Raghu__: it's not a dyanmic file, it's use when the tool chain is built | 09:25 |
| x | mazda01, yea I diudn't like flux the first few times, and I didn't do it for the memory use although I did go from like 24% use on xfce to 11% on flux which is nice ;-) I just like how fluxbox is and I map all my favorite programs to alt + letter keys so it's ez to launch stuff anyway. it's just very fast | 09:25 |
| elagoz | home & trush & Desktop & system part | 09:25 |
| mazda01 | footofthehare, by resarting the machine, waiting for it to get to a point that its done booting, and then hit ctrl-alt-f1. log in, and correct your issue | 09:26 |
| Raghu__ | ikonia: Can this be dependent on my mingw configure settings? | 09:26 |
| mazda01 | x i am sure it is. everyone has their personal prefs. that's why i love linux! | 09:26 |
| x | mazda01, exactly unlimited options, and they are all free! | 09:27 |
| ikonia | Raghu__: no, that is the target build, not the toolchain components | 09:27 |
| mazda01 | x i love FREE.......FOSS FTW | 09:28 |
| x | ;-p | 09:28 |
| Raghu__ | ikonia: thanks for some clue...i will digg further if i can get more details. | 09:28 |
| mazda01 | x yeah, the disk utility is awesome, not sure how i've not seen that this entire time. shows smart status if drive supports it also! where's the benchmarks though you said? | 09:28 |
| mazda01 | x nevermind, i am blind. found it | 09:29 |
| x | mazda01, umm... select a disk then left side of the pain where the smart data is. | 09:29 |
| x | mazda01, I do have a 1tb with 1 bad block. just 99.9% of the time you will get alot more bad blocks soon. | 09:30 |
| x | your drive has free blocks / sectors whatever to remap to. | 09:30 |
| mazda01 | x true | 09:30 |
| x | this drive actually came out of a usb enclosure ( the usb part died and I think killed 1 block on this hd haha!) | 09:30 |
| mazda01 | x LOL, check out this photo https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-jqo4_HeNMJY/Tt3g8QIG9kI/AAAAAAAABX4/mXEG5Ck4_RI/s713/Screenshot1.png | 09:32 |
| mazda01 | x "the operation concerns the hard drive" LOLOLOLOLO | 09:32 |
| mazda01 | x the disk I am testing came out of a maxtor external firewire enclosure. | 09:33 |
| mazda01 | firewire is so 1999 | 09:33 |
| mazda01 | lol | 09:33 |
| x | mazda01, you can only do a read benchmark if the disk has partitions on it I believe | 09:33 |
| mazda01 | x just wrote zeros to it | 09:33 |
| x | firewire is actually alot faster than usb 2.0 I believe | 09:33 |
| mazda01 | x i know that but with 3.0 out now | 09:33 |
| x | I have never used it lol | 09:34 |
| x | yea im kinda dumb cause the mobo I bought a year and a half ago or whatevr didn';t have it. but I dont have any 3.0 devices and by then it will be time for a new comp so it almost doesn't matter ya know? | 09:34 |
| x | + any 3.0 device is 2.0 compatible so..... | 09:34 |
| elagoz | how i can open Ntfs on Xubuntu ? | 09:35 |
| mazda01 | x yeah, it was hilarious. i was in Radio Shack (small electronic shop) looking around. Saw an external hdd that said USB 3.0 on it. I asked the sales guy if he knew if USB 3.0 was backwards compatiable to USB 2.0. He was like, huh? | 09:35 |
| wind | I've heard people saying firewire hard disks and sound boxes being more reliable.. and of course firewire hard disk will be a bit faster than 2.0, if the actual disk exceeds that 30MB/s barrier :) | 09:35 |
| x | !ntfs | 09:36 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 09:36 |
| mazda01 | x i wanted to see how smart the guy who is selling the stuff was and obviously this was way over his head. LOL | 09:36 |
| x | lol | 09:36 |
| Lasers_ | mazda01: You probably blew his mind when you said the word 'backward compatible' | 09:36 |
| wind | seeing many usb hard disks "drop out" suddenly and reconnecting them fixing it for a while, I can believe the argument of firewire being more reliable (or maybe it's the implementation in some cases) | 09:36 |
| x | all they know how to do at radioshack is sell cell phone's thats like 98% of their business now. | 09:37 |
| INodeNotHere | how can i run a ubuntu system upgrade from the terminal | 09:37 |
| wind | btw, if you dare to disable journaling of the hfs+ partition then you can use them without fuse in linux and it might be bit faster | 09:38 |
| x | INodeNotHere, what do you mean system upgrade, just install the new updates? or upgrade whole distribution ? | 09:38 |
| mazda01 | then i overheard a guy wanting an adapter for his android phone that he could plug in and convert signal to composite or component connection. they were looking at the little usb mini connector. i had just grabbed a cable for my iphone to output my video/audio signal to my tv. so this poor customer wanted to do the same with his android but he must have had an older android without the output capabilities | 09:38 |

| auronandace | mazda01: howso? wubi is meant to be a demo or preview for those only comfortable with windows systems. (linux was never meant to be installed through windows) | 09:45 |
| mazda01 | auronandace, because something was "never meant" for something, that means it can become so? Was man meant to fly? was man meant to go into out space? | 09:46 |
| INodeNotHere | blackshirt: what is single mode? | 09:47 |
| mazda01 | auronandace, wubi is meant for the lowly windows users who wants to try out ubuntu, and the ubuntu install from wubi can NOW be moved if so desired to it's own dual boot setup. | 09:47 |

| astro771 | blackshirt: auronandance: fair enough, I am not sure I want to "seriously" use it yet ... | 09:48 |
| theadmin | happygolucky: There're no runlevels in Ubuntu | 09:48 |
| INodeNotHere | happygolucky: i think so to, i have never done this before. how wil this help | 09:48 |
| lahwran | if a glyph cannot be found in the current font, are other fonts searched? if so, how does the ordering of this search work? ie, what fonts do I have to copy to other oses for it to work | 09:48 |
| mazda01 | INodeNotHere, trying single user mode, or fail safe mode from grub most liekly wont solve your issue | 09:48 |
| happygolucky | all right well just going on the word single, i was away from keyboard etc. | 09:48 |
| mahasona | Hi everyone , I'm having a little issue with installing my usb model . I'm using prolink phs100 . the manul says to use sudo rmmod usbserial | 09:48 |
| blackshirt | INodeNotHere: yeah, single user mode ? | 09:49 |
| mahasona | but when I do I get this error ERROR: Module usbserial is in use by option,usb_wwan | 09:49 |
| INodeNotHere | mazda01: the system does boot fine, i think the issue is something todo with gnome. i get everything OK when the system boots. just the GUI doesnt kick in right | 09:49 |
| mazda01 | INodeNotHere, if it did crash during a upgrade, you just have to work thru the items that didn't get upgraded OR start again BUT first backing up your stuff you can't lose. so you would use a live cd or usb stick, mount the partition you want to restrieve data from, save it elsewhere, then feel confident you can do a fresh install | 09:49 |
| INodeNotHere | mazda01: sounds like a plan, thanks | 09:49 |
| astro771 | I tried to install it while Microsoft Clikc-to-run had a virtual partition available and the install crapped out on it ... removing the virtual partiiton and trying again ... unable to get it working | 09:49 |
| mazda01 | INodeNotHere, well, if it is merely a gnome thing, drop to tty1 and install a new desktop manager | 09:50 |
| blackshirt | INodeItHere: i think you can recovery throuhg console for getting gnome back | 09:50 |
| mahasona | anyone ? | 09:50 |
| blackshirt | mahasona, if you have question, just ask .. | 09:50 |
| astro771 | given that I need to create a dedicated partition -- will the ubuntu installer be able to resize a ntfs partition during install or will I have to do it in Windoze? | 09:51 |
| mahasona | I did , blackshirt wait lemme repeat again | 09:51 |
| mahasona | Hi everyone , I'm having a little issue with installing my usb model . I'm using prolink phs100 . the manul says to use sudo rmmod usbserial | 09:51 |
| mahasona | but when I do I get this error ERROR: Module usbserial is in use by option,usb_wwan | 09:51 |
| theadmin | astro771: It can resize ntfs but SLOOOOWLY, I suggest doing it in Windows instead | 09:51 |
| INodeNotHere | mazda01: i think there might be more to it than that, first i will run an updrade-dist through chroot, i just need to figure out what "cp: not writing through dangling symlink `/mnt/etc/resolv.conf'" means first, trying to get dns working in the chroot | 09:51 |
| astro771 | theadmin: thanks | 09:51 |
| blackshirt | mahasona: are you mean usb modem ? | 09:52 |
| mazda01 | INodeNotHere, like xfce4 or even kde | 09:52 |

| lamah | how can i stop fallback mode? | 09:52 |
| x | INodeNotHere, doesn't dangling symlink mean wherever it's pointing is not there ? | 09:52 |
| lamah | in gnome3 | 09:52 |
| blackshirt | astro771: you can resize ntfs with gparted | 09:53 |
| theadmin | lamah: Install graphic drivers. | 09:53 |
| mahasona | blackshirt: yes | 09:53 |
| blackshirt | mahasona: what your modem type card ? | 09:53 |
| mazda01 | INodeNotHere, why? you can't connect to the internet? | 09:53 |
| lamah | theadmin: i have graphic driver | 09:53 |
| theadmin | lamah: If gnome3 forces fallback, you don't have one that works properly. | 09:53 |
| mahasona | usb prolink phs100 | 09:53 |
| blackshirt | mahasona: are you on ubuntu box right now ? | 09:54 |
| mazda01 | well, i gotta get to bed. it's 3:54 am here. good night! y'all | 09:54 |
| lamah | theadmin: but with driver from amd.com again when gnome is started i got the fallback mode | 09:54 |
| mahasona | yes, Im using 10.10 | 09:54 |
| theadmin | lamah: You sure you installed it properly and it's loaded and works? | 09:54 |
| blackshirt | can you connect to internet through your modem now ? | 09:54 |
| astro771 | blackshirt: so I can used gparted from a liveCD ... option ot resize is greyed out ... should I unmount it and then resize it? | 09:55 |

| mahasona | what is that ? blackshirt | 09:57 |

| blackshirt | mahasona: console based dialer... just install it and then run wvdialconf to see if your modem detected | 09:58 |
| blackshirt | mahasona: is your modem gsm or cdma based ? | 09:58 |
| mahasona | blackshirt: I'll lookup on google and see about that , give me minit , and its gsm | 09:58 |
| llutz_ | bullgard6: "crop" in graphical programs usually means "take parts of a picture" (Ausschnitt) | 09:58 |

| ikonia | ok guys, where you are from isn't a massive issue in this channel | 10:10 |
| ikonia | you can still ask for Ubuntu support | 10:10 |
| muhammed | i'm new here | 10:11 |
| muhammed | ... | 10:11 |
| inashdeen | second question my friend, how do i delete unnecessary files from my system. i've used bleachbit and ubuntu tweak, but i do realise there are still remnants | 10:11 |
| blackshirt | muhammed: if there your question here, just ask | 10:11 |
| happygolucky | AdvoWork: is what you're looking to install smbfs? | 10:12 |
| ikonia | inashdeen: ubuntu-tweak is not something I'd recommend | 10:12 |
| ikonia | inashdeen: you just remove the files you no longer want/need using the file manager | 10:12 |
| theadmin | inashdeen: That should be clean enough. You can also safely wipe /tmp and /var/log/ unless you need stuff in those | 10:12 |
| p-dot | could someone please give me some guidance with an issue with ubuntu 11.10 software centre? | 10:12 |
| theadmin | p-dot: Just name the issue | 10:12 |
| blackshirt | p-dot: what your problem with usc | 10:12 |
| llutz | one don't want to wipe /var/log at runtime while (r)syslogd runs | 10:13 |
| muhammed | is this discussion forum?? | 10:13 |
| p-dot | i bring up swc and nothing happens the window just stays white and i cant view new progs installed or anything | 10:13 |
| ikonia | muhammed: ubuntu support discussion yes | 10:13 |
| theadmin | llutz: Yeah makes stuff act weird until the next reboot, but nothing too major | 10:13 |
| theadmin | muhammed: This is IRC. | 10:13 |
| happygolucky | inashdeen: apt-get clean is something i do regularly as well as --purge when removing packages, other than that i dont know | 10:13 |
| muhammed | means what?? | 10:13 |
| muhammed | ok | 10:14 |
| muhammed | ... | 10:14 |
| inashdeen | theadmin : basically what is /tmp and what is /var/log. i am remastering ubuntu, the last time i used bleachbit, the custom iso wont boot | 10:14 |
| blackshirt | p-dot: maybe better you are use aptitude/apt-get | 10:14 |
| RTYGY45 | muhammed what are you looking for ? | 10:14 |
| theadmin | inashdeen: /tmp is for temporary files of all sorts, /var/log is system logs | 10:14 |
| muhammed | i can't find my php.ini file | 10:14 |
| blackshirt | muhammed: this is IRC channel | 10:15 |
| p-dot | blackshirt could u explain better? Im anoob | 10:15 |
| blackshirt | muhammed: you can use find/locate to show your php.ini | 10:15 |
| TACPILOT | been trying to compile some code for days. new to ubuntu .. installed the headers but no linux link was made to the current headers in /usr/src . created link by hand. | 10:15 |
| blackshirt | p-dot: goest to your terminal, and run aptitude | 10:15 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: what are you trying to build | 10:16 |
| p-dot | sudo apt-get aptitude ??? | 10:16 |
| blackshirt | p-dot: i don't like usc for install/remove package | 10:16 |
| TACPILOT | trying to compile a new version of busybox but is failing .. applying the recommended patch to header files has no effect | 10:16 |
| blackshirt | p-dot: just $sudo aptitude | 10:16 |
| hellozh_ | can you send me some pdf of gtk? | 10:16 |
| blackshirt | p-dot: i think, usc bit a slow for me | 10:16 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: why are you doing this ? ubuntu packages a stable version of busy box | 10:16 |
| p-dot | sudo: aptitude: command not found | 10:17 |
| TACPILOT | assembling a cluster via perceus and trying to update perceus with 3.0 kernels and modern packages | 10:17 |
| deej1976 | p-dot: terminal: sudo apt-get install aptitude | 10:17 |
| TACPILOT | there is an issue with busybox > 1.19 and kernels > 3.0 | 10:18 |
| blackshirt | p-dot: sorry for my last "forgot", aptitude not default installed by ubuntu.. you can use $sudo apt-get -f install for fixing error on your packages | 10:18 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: not quite seeing how this is an ubuntu issue, could you expand on your setup a little please. | 10:19 |
| TACPILOT | I am new to ubuntu so I figure it may be how the build environment is setup | 10:19 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 10:20 |
| TACPILOT | latest | 10:20 |
| p-dot | ok did that | 10:20 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: which one | 10:20 |
| p-dot | now what | 10:20 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: exactly which version | 10:20 |
| p-dot | i cant even close the software center window thats opened | 10:21 |
| p-dot | alt - f4 doesnt it | 10:21 |
| blackshirt | p-dot: you can kill it | 10:21 |
| lmg | ahoi people | 10:22 |
| inashdeen | i am using bleachbit now. i saw an option delete backup files. what is that? | 10:22 |
| === x_ is now known as Holy-Cornholio | ||
| lmg | say, any known issues with ubuntus current pthreads + openmp ? | 10:22 |
| TACPILOT | this should be a relatively generic question regarding the standard ubuntu build environment | 10:22 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: could you please answer the questions I'm asking so I can understand your environment and problem | 10:23 |
| TACPILOT | 11 - 64 bit | 10:24 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: 11 what | 10:24 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: there are two 11 versions | 10:24 |
| Holy-Cornholio | lol. | 10:24 |
| TACPILOT | .04 | 10:24 |
| syed | hi | 10:24 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: ok, so are you following this guide http://www.perceus.org/site/html/debian_quickstart.html ? | 10:25 |
| TACPILOT | not aplicable to the current project | 10:25 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: what are you actually trying to do then | 10:25 |
| ikonia | what guide are you following | 10:26 |
| TACPILOT | trying to get busybox to compile with a 3.0 kernel | 10:26 |
| RTYGY45 | how do i ask ubuntu in the command prompt to install gnome GUI ? | 10:26 |
| RTYGY45 | apt-get install gnome..? | 10:26 |
| TACPILOT | I applied the recommended patch to the header files | 10:26 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: ok - why are you trying to do this as the busybox version ubuntu ships is compatible with the 3.0 kernel | 10:27 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: the 11.X repos contain busybox that is compatible with 3.X kernel | 10:27 |
| TACPILOT | however is like the build system doesnt even know there there | 10:27 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: the 11.X repos contain busybox that is compatible with the 3.X kernel, so why are you trying to build another version ? | 10:28 |
| TACPILOT | why does it never fail I spend more time trying to justify a project and its needs then actualy getting answers | 10:28 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: because it's important to understand the question and the situation | 10:29 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: so many people do the wrong thing because they are not aware of option | 10:29 |
| TACPILOT | the question still reamains .. is there something I need to do with the header files after applying a patch that will enable the system to utilize the change ? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: is there a reason you are dodging the question | 10:30 |
| ikonia | why are you trying to build a busy box version, when the 11.x repos contain busy box that is compatible with the 3.X kernel | 10:30 |
| ikonia | is there a specific reason you can't use that version ? | 10:30 |
| TACPILOT | see what I mean .. since I been here I have asked one question and still all i get is a dance | 10:31 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: it's easier if you just answer the questions so we can understand your situation/reasoning better and help | 10:32 |
| TACPILOT | what question is that ? | 10:32 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: why you are trying to build your own version of busy box, when the 11.X repos contain a pre-compiled version that is compatible with the 3.X kernel | 10:33 |
| TACPILOT | perhaps its the wrong version .. but still that question has nothing to do with answering mine | 10:34 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: it is, you should use the ubuntu pre-built version, it's compatible with the 3.0 kernel as you initially wanted | 10:35 |
| soreau | ! attitude | TACPILOT | 10:35 |
| ubottu | TACPILOT: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 10:35 |
| DarsVaeda | in unity when hitting win+alt+arrorkey there pop up some little numbers, counting the items and such, what is that for, just left over developer code? | 10:35 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: you're using 11.X, and 3.X kernel, the busy box version in the repo would be a much better option, it works, it's pre-packaged, it's supported | 10:35 |
| TACPILOT | yes that would work for 99% of situation .. but then if that was a solution I wouldnt be here in the first place. | 10:36 |
| soreau | FD | 10:36 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: ok, so explain the problem you're having with the ubuntu version | 10:37 |
| ikonia | again, the more we understand your situation, the better help you can get | 10:37 |
| TACPILOT | I apply the recommended patch to the headers .. its like the build system doesnt see the change | 10:37 |
| soreau | TACPILOT: You are wasting time by not answering the question. If you could give a valid reason for building it, someone might be apt to help you | 10:37 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: what recommended patches ???? what is the actual problem | 10:38 |
| muhammed | empathy is not working properly latest ubuntu | 10:38 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: if we can understand what you're doing and why, it's easier to help | 10:38 |
| TACPILOT | getting link brb | 10:38 |
| ikonia | actually, I can't be bothered any more, I'm not here to beg people to give me help with their problems. | 10:38 |
| styelz | DarsVaeda: you dont need to press the ALT key, just press the WINDOWS key and press the coresponding number or leter shown . its keyboard shortcuts to the unity sidebar | 10:39 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: you want to get a direct answer, no questions "Contact the patch maintainers and ask them why their patch doesn't work or build" | 10:39 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: there is your direct answer, no other questions, no reasoning, contact the people who wrote the patches and ask them for support | 10:40 |
| TACPILOT | http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/toolchain/kernel-headers/linux-3.0.12-headers_install-fix-__packed-in-exported-kernel-head.patch | 10:40 |
| DarsVaeda | styelz: neat! where do I find such stuff described? I only stumble upon them by random chance... | 10:40 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: contact the patch maintainers, we don't support those peoples patches | 10:40 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: ask them for help why their patches are not working | 10:40 |
| ikonia | good luck | 10:40 |
| TACPILOT | snub me for not kissing the ring .. :S | 10:41 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: no, for not giving any information after being asked approx 10 times, good luck with the patch maintainers | 10:41 |
| inashdeen | how do i delete history listed in ubuntu software center? | 10:41 |
| theadmin | Well that was weird. | 10:41 |

| inashdeen | hi i am usin pidgin. is there any effects if i delete /usr/share/empathy files? | 10:44 |
| styelz | DarsVaeda: when help window appears, type in Keyboard Shortcuts and you will see all the links to this info | 10:44 |
| ikonia | inashdeen: what's in that directory | 10:44 |
| ikonia | inashdeen: are they taking up space ? | 10:44 |
| DarsVaeda | styelz: I see thanks | 10:44 |
| theadmin | inashdeen: No, but you should "sudo apt-get --purge remove empathy" rather than emptying out package files manually... | 10:44 |
| inashdeen | ikonia : not taking up space really , but i want my system to be smaller :) | 10:45 |
| ikonia | inashdeen: how much space would you get removing those files ? | 10:45 |

| ikonia | inashdeen: ok, so empathy is built into the unity desktop, do you really want to save 1MB of space that bad ? | 10:46 |

| hrolf | muhammed: Yes :) | 10:47 |
| hrolf | muhammed: Thanks. | 10:47 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: the answer is we don't support those patches, nor do we know why they don't work, if you contact the people who make those patches they should be able to help you | 10:47 |
| bkerensa | TACPILOT: What do you need help with | 10:47 |
| muhammed | ok | 10:47 |
| muhammed | ... | 10:48 |
| muhammed | :) | 10:48 |
| jfer | hrolf: try middle click also for multiple instances. | 10:48 |
| soreau | TACPILOT: The reason is because we want to be able to fix issues with components of ubuntu if there is a real problem | 10:48 |
| RTYGY45 | there are a difference between a coder and developer and a user | 10:49 |
| jfer | hrolf: window +shift + 1 also works | 10:49 |
| RTYGY45 | you are talking to users | 10:49 |
| TACPILOT | my question is with the standard build environment .. how do u get the system to see changes made to the installed headers ? | 10:49 |
| RTYGY45 | you have a problem with a patch or a code then go ask the right people | 10:49 |
| soreau | TACPILOT: By helping us understand what is wrong, you could potentially help other users which is what the open source philosophy provides | 10:49 |
| KFP | How can I find my stuff in Unity? I just upgraded from 10.10, and now I can no longer find my main data hard drive. It used to be nicely listed in the "System" menu, but nothing like that is no longer around. | 10:49 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: how are you changing the installed headers ? | 10:50 |
| KFP | (Well, yes, I can find it in the terminal.) | 10:50 |
| KFP | ...But isn't there any GUI access to it? | 10:50 |
| TACPILOT | I directly patch the file | 10:50 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: what command are you using to patch the headers | 10:50 |
| hrolf | jfer: That's what I was looking for. Opening a new instance of the app. For Ctrl + N to work I must be in the Home folder (or in Nautilius) | 10:50 |
| TACPILOT | because of version differences patch wont work so I had to do it by hand | 10:51 |
| jfer | hrolf: yes that should work for any app that you want a new instance of. | 10:51 |
| muhammed | is there any other software like empathy which can be minimized like empathy | 10:51 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: right so you've changed the files by hand, so you know they are different | 10:51 |
| muhammed | ?? | 10:51 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: so the build process will see them as different based on what you've changed | 10:51 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: so what is the issue ? | 10:52 |
| TACPILOT | content is still valid | 10:52 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: so what is the issue then ? | 10:52 |
| TACPILOT | is there a command needed to run to update the build environment to see changes made to the headers ? | 10:52 |
| ikonia | no, it's dynamic | 10:52 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: what is the actual issue you are seeing | 10:53 |
| TACPILOT | I can completely empty /usr/src/linux yet its like headers are still present in the system ?? | 10:53 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: why do you think that ? | 10:54 |
| Besogon | Hi. Have you notived that If you use Chrome or google chrome extensively it become freezing on web page downloading? | 10:54 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: I don't believe there should be /usr/src/linux on ubuntu | 10:54 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: I don't think it works like a generic symlink on redhat versions | 10:54 |
| TACPILOT | new to this environment other distos I used required it .. is why I am not understanding | 10:55 |
| sgo11 | hi, I am upgrading to 11.10 from 11.04 online. The state is 'Installing the upgrades about 8 minutes left'. I don't know if I press anything wrong by mistake or something weird happens. The popup window tells me "Could not install the upgrades: the upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now(dpkg -configure-a)." what to do? should I click the 'Close' button? Currently, I still have unity running..... | 10:55 |
| TACPILOT | i made link for it was not there | 10:55 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: ok, so that maybe part of the issue, /usr/src/linux isn't how ubuntu does it (compared to redhat) | 10:55 |
| TACPILOT | k | 10:55 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: ok, so you're doing your own thing, whcih is possibly why this isn't working | 10:55 |
| DarsVaeda | another question about unity :( I have libreoffice opened, but there is no icon in the launcher/sidebar/window-desktop chooser, how do I get my libreoffice back? | 10:56 |
| TACPILOT | like I said new to this build environment | 10:56 |
| mr_lou | Hey. I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 at work. Running an older version at home. Why can't I rearrange the Close-Window X _ [_] buttons on windows anymore? And where do I move the side-bar? It's on the left, I want it on the right. | 10:56 |
| TACPILOT | where does ubuntu store reference to current valid headers ? | 10:57 |
| deej1976 | DarsVaeda: Have you tried ALT-TAB | 10:57 |
| DarsVaeda | yes there is nothing too | 10:57 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: I've answered your original question as you asked - I'm not helping any more as I shouldn't have to beg for you to give me information in order to help you | 10:58 |
| TACPILOT | I could have headers and full sources for a half dozen kernels .. how does it know which to compile against ? | 10:58 |
| ikonia | TACPILOT: there are documents on https://wiki.ubuntu.com and https://help.ubuntu.com | 10:58 |
| DarsVaeda | if I just open the file again then the window pops up again, but that is not like a solution ;) | 10:58 |
| KFP | Where in Unity can I find my other hard drive? The "Files & Folders" option in the launcher only lists stuff in the "Home" folder. | 10:58 |
| deej1976 | DarsVaeda: Are you sure libreoffice is running? | 10:59 |
| DarsVaeda | yep | 10:59 |
| DarsVaeda | the file is locked | 10:59 |
| TACPILOT | my question is and has always been about the build system ... all those other questions just clouded the issue | 10:59 |
| theadmin | KFP: Just start the filemanager, nautilus, it should have them listed on the left side | 10:59 |
| DarsVaeda | and as said if I open the file "again" I get back the window | 10:59 |
| TACPILOT | I could have headers and full sources for a half dozen kernels .. how does it know which to compile against ? | 11:00 |
| deej1976 | So in a terminal "ps -ef | grep libreoffice" show it running | 11:00 |
| DarsVaeda | yep | 11:00 |
| DarsVaeda | it also happens when I have the window opened seeing it | 11:01 |
| Sidewinder1 | sgo11, Since there's a problem, I wouldn't close anything; just let it "do it's thing". | 11:01 |

| DarsVaeda | visible on the desktop, there still is no icon | 11:01 |

| sgo11 | this is so crazy. how can an upgrade be aborted like this? | 11:04 |

| ikonia | sgo11: it maybe worth backing up anything you want now, and look at doing a re-install | 11:07 |
| sgo11 | Sidewinder1, no error message at all. it just said the upgrade is aborted. | 11:07 |
| mbrochh | hi all, does anyone know about a nice "distraction free" text editor, that can be run in fullscreen and displays the text in a column centered on screen? | 11:08 |

| Myrtti | mbrochh: pyroom | 11:08 |

| mbrochh | Myrtti: looks nice, does it have vim keybindings? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Myrtti: easy on the language please | 11:09 |
| ikonia | doh | 11:09 |
| ikonia | mbrochh: easy on the language please | 11:09 |
| Sidewinder1 | sgo11, Also, I'm on 10.04, so I'm not sure how much help I can be, trouble-shooting 11.10. I'd just keep trying it until something goes "Hinckey." I wonder if it may have been a 'false error message'. | 11:09 |
| Myrtti | mbrochh: have no idea, I use emacs :-P | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Myrtti: sorry | 11:09 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, anything easier than re-install? it seems the partial 11.10 is working properly. I just don't know what it's missing. the upgrade process was aborted when there are only 8 minutes left. (out of more than 1 hour installation process). | 11:09 |
| Myrtti | ikonia: no prob, just got me confused for a fraction of a second | 11:09 |
| ikonia | sgo11: personally, the failed installs never leave a good state, in my view. the best option to me is always a clean install to go to a known good install state | 11:10 |
| ikonia | sgo11: I fully understand that's a big step though | 11:10 |
| sgo11 | Sidewinder1, ok. thanks for the reply. | 11:10 |

| mr_lou | Daekdroom, So I can't move the X _ [_] buttons on windows from left to right anymore? | 11:19 |
| sgo11 | llutz, apt-get -f install only installs and configures the flashplugin. then stops. One more thing it does is to show a list of packages that are no longer required (use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them). that's all. do you think this is all I missed? thanks. | 11:21 |

| TeckDepot | decided linux mint | 11:56 |
| wrektjet | theadmin, except for my wallet. ok thanks | 11:56 |
| theadmin | TeckDepot: Yeah, Mint is great | 11:56 |
| TeckDepot | which turned out to be ubuntu 11.10 | 11:56 |
| Sidewinder1 | wrektjet, Agreed. Not sure how one would test a P/S, either.. | 11:56 |
| ikonia | TeckDepot: study distrowatch.com | 11:56 |
| wrektjet | Sidewinder1, freaking windiws | 11:56 |
| theadmin | wrektjet: Wallet? Um, I suppose that's stored on your hard drive, nothing to worry about... | 11:57 |
| sm0gg | Arch ftw | 11:57 |
| dr_willis | arch is definatly not ftw for most people... | 11:57 |
| wrektjet | theadmin, joke. referring to the $ i wasted by letting thi diaster happen. thanks again | 11:57 |

| RTYGY45 | so guys .. do you know how to switch to gnome shell on 11.10 ? | 11:59 |
| truepurple | Anyone know anything about opera on ubuntu? | 11:59 |
| TeckDepot | was very inapporpriate of me im sorry | 11:59 |
| TeckDepot | just really tired | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: it runs, and works fine for me.. :) | 11:59 |
| TeckDepot | it slipped | 11:59 |
| truepurple | RTYGY45, at the log in screen, there is a option to choose "classic mode" | 12:00 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, I installed it, but I can't find a Icon for it to actually use it anywhere | 12:00 |
| ikonia | truepurple: gnome shjell is not classic mode | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: try it from command line i guess.. | 12:00 |
| Studioeng | can you change the pptp interface to something other than ppp ? | 12:00 |
| INode | i am having issues with gnome not starting when i boot my PC could someone help point me in the right direction\ | 12:01 |
| === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony | ||
| RTYGY45 | ikonia then how do you get classic gnome ? | 12:01 |
| RTYGY45 | like 2.x | 12:01 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, how do I add a icon for it? | 12:01 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: i just pin it to the panel when stuff launches normally. | 12:02 |
| glebihan | RTYGY45, you don't, it's not there anymore | 12:02 |
| RTYGY45 | ban if hte answer is wrong | 12:02 |
| RTYGY45 | BAN! | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | been using opera for the last month or 3.. going back to chrome these days. | 12:02 |
| ikonia | RTYGY45: stop that | 12:02 |
| === rs_ is now known as mr_lou | ||
| truepurple | dr_willis, How do i do that? | 12:03 |
| deej1976 | !classic | RTYGY45 | 12:03 |
| ubottu | RTYGY45: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 12:03 |
| === kk is now known as Guest47099 | ||
| dr_willis | truepurple: run it.. right click on the panel.. unity basics. :) | 12:03 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, I am not using unity | 12:03 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, and when I do that, it doesn't show up | 12:04 |
| dr_willis | i dont know what youa re using then truepurple.... | 12:04 |
| dr_willis | Hmm. the unity power users guide url i found.. seems to have vanished | 12:05 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, I am using "classic mode" | 12:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, 11.04, correct? | 12:05 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, yes | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | http://castrojo.tumblr.com/post/4795149014/the-power-users-guide-to-unity there we go. | 12:06 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: does it run from a terminal? | 12:06 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, I told you I am not using unity | 12:07 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, yes | 12:07 |
| dr_willis | find the opera.desktop file. copy it to your desktop if you want i guess. | 12:07 |
| dr_willis | or make a launcher for it some other way | 12:07 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, that is not useful instruction | 12:08 |
| dr_willis | about as good as you are going to get from me at this time. Im not on a linux desktop at the moment. | 12:09 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, Did you install opera via apt-get or Synaptic/Software Center? | 12:09 |
| dr_willis | its very likely your menus just need refreshed.. or its just got an icon in a weird location. | 12:09 |
| dr_willis | you could still make a custome launcher on your desktop if you wanted to. | 12:10 |
| Studioeng | cheers guys | 12:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, And, when, exactly did you install it? | 12:10 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, I downloaded a file from their site that put it into the software center, and then I clicked install from there | 12:10 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, 5 minutes ago | 12:10 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, how about adding a icon to the menu? | 12:11 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, in internet with the rest | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | i dont use gnome-classic. so no idea. | 12:11 |
| Guest14859 | hi | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | its likely it may appear there if you log out/back in. | 12:12 |
| Guest14859 | how can I check how much disk space I have left in ubuntu? | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | Guest14859: df -h command is one way. | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | !alacarte | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | !info alacarte | 12:12 |
| ubottu | alacarte (source: alacarte): easy GNOME menu editing tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.2-2ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 52 kB, installed size 348 kB | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | theres always the menu editor tool to add menu entries. | 12:13 |
| Guest14859 | dr_willis: thanks | 12:13 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, where-how | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | where how what? alacarte is a gui tool to edit the menus. | 12:14 |
| dr_willis | used to be you could right click on the menu to laucnh it.. no idea if that works in the classic modes or not. | 12:14 |
| afidegnum | hello, pls how do I enable cron in ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | afidegnum: cron is installed/enabled by default. | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | !cron | 12:15 |
| ubottu | cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto | 12:15 |
| dumb1224 | Hi, how can I suspend when using a WM like openbox? | 12:15 |
| dumb1224 | without root passwd? uPower? | 12:15 |
| MonkeyDust | or alt-f2 alacarte | 12:15 |
| afidegnum | ok | 12:15 |
| dumb1224 | !suspend | 12:17 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, ah that worked, how do I give it the opera icon though? | 12:17 |
| INode | where can i find a log of gnome errors, gnome does not start when i boot my computer | 12:18 |
| glebihan | dumb1224, http://openbox.org/wiki/Suspend_and_hibernate | 12:18 |
| dumb1224 | !pm-suspend | 12:18 |
| dumb1224 | glebihan: oh thanks | 12:18 |
| glebihan | dumb1224, you're welcome | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | sudo updatedb , locate opera.png see where the icon is at. | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | INode: so gdm login screen works? | 12:20 |
| dumb1224 | glebihan: well pm-suspend requires sudo, in ubuntu theres scripts which doesn't require root to suspend or shutdown, like, press the power button | 12:20 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, what does that command do? | 12:20 |
| Chris_____ | How do I download Ubuntu Latest pre packed with GNOME 3? | 12:20 |
| dumb1224 | glebihan: isn't there? | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: looks for the file opera.png using the locate database | 12:21 |
| ubuntu | hi | 12:21 |
| INode | dr_willis: no it does not. boot seems to go fine, everything says OK next to it. but rather than the normal gnome log in screen i get a small icon of a computer and then the name of my computer in the center of the screen | 12:21 |
| glebihan | dumb1224, not sure as I don't use openbox, but I think it would have been mentioned there if there was | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | INode: you could try booting to 'text' mode and login at teh console and see what 'startx' gives for errors. | 12:21 |
| INode | dr_willis: the time is also displayed in the top center on the screen | 12:21 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, so I type sudo updatedb opera.png? | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | INode: that sounds like its booting a messed up gnome desktop | 12:22 |
| Superzoom | hi | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: its 2 differnt commands... | 12:22 |
| INode | dr_willis: ok i will do that | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | sudo updatedb then locate opera.png see where the icon is at. | 12:22 |
| Sidewinder1 | dumb1224, "Pressing the power button" is rarely a good idea. If you're referring to the button on the CPU; instead, have a look at REISUB. | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | INode: you have it set to auto login? | 12:22 |
| Chris_____ | How do I download Ubuntu Latest pre packed with GNOME 3? | 12:22 |
| Sidewinder1 | !reisub | dumb1224 | 12:22 |
| ubottu | dumb1224: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | Chris_____: find some unoffical remastered ubuntu. | 12:22 |
| INode | dr_willis: i found a bunch of files inside /var/log/gdm should i delete all them and try and boot again. i should have a nice small list of log files then right? based around my issue | 12:22 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, updateb seemed to do nothing, not a menu to search or anything | 12:22 |
| ubuntu | anyone using the new ubuntu | 12:23 |
| INode | dr_willis: no auto login is disabled. i have to enter my password normaly | 12:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | Not here,. :D | 12:23 |
| Chris_____ | dr_willis: are such packages stable? | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | INode: i would go to text mode. and try 'startx' and see if theres any error messages. You are using gnome-shell? or unity? | 12:23 |
| ubuntu | funny side lol | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | Chris_____: no idea. they are not supported here. | 12:23 |
| dumb1224 | Sidewinder1: thanks, but I meant the script to shutdown/suspend my laptop without asking for passwd | 12:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | dumb1224, OIC. | 12:24 |
| RTYGY45 | what is the startx used for ? | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | INode: it could be some weird breakage in your gnome settings. You could try making a new user and see if you canlogin as them. | 12:24 |
| Chris_____ | dr_willis: Okay, any way install GNOME3 on ubuntu? | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | Chris_____: gnome-3 is on 11.10 by default | 12:24 |
| deej1976 | !notunity | Chris_____ | 12:24 |
| ubottu | Chris_____: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:24 |
| INode | dr_willis: i dont even get to the login console. this happends before i log in | 12:24 |
| dumb1224 | Sidewinder1: I found a little script in /etc/acpi/powerbtn, it defines an event when the powerbtn pressed some action is done | 12:25 |
| Chris_____ | ubottu: Ty | 12:25 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | INode: try text mode, and the startx command perhaps. the way you describe it - it sounds like its auto logging into the gnome-shell. | 12:25 |
| INode | i think unity is installed, but i normaly just use ubuntu-classic interface | 12:25 |
| INode | dr_willis: ok will do. back soon. thanks for the hel | 12:25 |
| INode | dr_willis: are there an log files i should pay extra attention to | 12:25 |
| Sidewinder1 | dumb1224, I hope it works the way you want. | 12:25 |
| Sidewinder1 | !botsnack | 12:26 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 12:26 |
| dr_willis | INode: id test by making a new user. if a new user works.. then its points to a user setting issue. | 12:26 |
| auronandace | !cookie | Sidewinder1 | 12:26 |
| ubottu | Sidewinder1: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 12:26 |
| INode | INode: OK, i will boot into text mode add a new user and get back to you, thanks for the help | 12:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | Yum! Err, I mean, APT1 | 12:27 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, what does "sudo updatedb" do? It does not look for any files | 12:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | :D | 12:27 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: it updates the locate database for the locate command to use... | 12:27 |
| dumb1224 | Sidewinder1: but the problem seems it only gets invoked when the powerbtn is pressed | 12:27 |
| dr_willis | without it locate will not be seeing the newest files. | 12:27 |
| truepurple | ah | 12:28 |
| dumb1224 | Sidewinder1: anyother case it still asks for passwd | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | or you could just use the package manager tools to see what files that opera.deb installed where. it proberly installed some opera.png somewhere. | 12:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | dumb1224, I stink at scripts; especially ones that I have screwed up, myself.. :-( Sorry.. | 12:28 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, Sidewinder1 looking in the menu editor more, it seems there was a icon already, but it wasn't showing, the command was something like "opera %u" when I changed the command to "opera" the icon showed up. | 12:29 |
| truepurple | what was the deal with that? | 12:29 |
| dumb1224 | Sidewinder1: thanks all the same | 12:29 |
| Sidewinder1 | NP | 12:29 |

| Sidewinder1 | !rootirc | Guest9318 | 12:30 |
| ubottu | Guest9318: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: i imagine it defaulted to looking for an opera.png in the icon paths. | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | if the command was foobar it would look for foobar.png i imagine | 12:31 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, I don't know what you mean, but I mean, the ending of the command that I deleted made the link itself not show up in the menu | 12:31 |
| RTYGY45 | dr_willis i'm trying to install a minimum ubuntu and now i'm in the command pompt. how do i install a GUI ? | 12:31 |
| Sidewinder1 | dr_willis, Or, was the "%u" a variable for current user? | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: if there was an opera menu item allready when you ran alacarte.. it most likely ment it was added by the package manager tools.. but you needed to log out/back in or refresh the menus to get it to show, and you dident need to do any changes by hand. | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | %u = url passed to the item i imagine. | 12:32 |
| tjingboem | what is the command to see if my joystick works? | 12:32 |

| Sidewinder1 | styelz, Doubtful, but one never knows.. :-) | 12:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | styelz, I've always wondered why so many run chat clients as root.. | 12:35 |
| tjingboem | dr_willis. that's a great program, thank you! | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | Sidewinder1: because some distros/live cd's default to root by default | 12:36 |
| * styelz ponders | 12:36 | |
| truepurple | dr_willis, no, when I added a link to it before noticing the old one, that showed right away. But the old one did not show until I deleted that extra stuff at the end of the command for it. Any idea what %u (or something like that) might be meant to do and why it would cause the link to not show? | 12:37 |
| Sidewinder1 | dr_willis, I always learn somethin' from you! Thanx. :D | 12:37 |

| ziro` | what tools can i use for building servers to a spec? | 12:39 |
| ziro` | e.g. install x y z, use configuration blah | 12:40 |
| raven | 11.10 how to set cpu frequency to "on demand" | 12:40 |
| theadmin | !clone | ziro` | 12:40 |
| ubottu | ziro`: 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 | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: its a command line argument.. that gets passed to the app. | 12:41 |
| ziro` | !automate | 12:41 |
| ubottu | Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 12:41 |
| ziro` | mmm | 12:41 |
| theadmin | 10.04? That's old | 12:41 |
| ziro` | maybe i just need to write a bash script | 12:41 |
| ziro` | ] | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | ziro`: i did an install to a 32gb flash drive. set it up how i liked.. then 'dd'ed it to other machines to clone its install. | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | ziro`: depends on your needs.... | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | !oem | 12:42 |
| ziro` | it's more for building new production servers as well as setting up development vms | 12:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | so you got some complex needs. :) | 12:42 |
| ziro` | well, i didn't think it was so complex :) | 12:42 |
| raven | 11.10 how to set cpu frequency to "on demand" | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | You want identical clones, the usb/dd trick can work. :) or mondo/mindi | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | actually mondo/mindi last i looked ages ago - could even ask/set hostname and other differnt defaults after it restored the system | 12:43 |
| ziro` | well, we really want scripts to build these machines | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | Go for it. :) | 12:44 |
| ziro` | so we can install the later versions of packages than we'd usually just by changing the script we build from | 12:44 |
| raven | 11.10 how to set cpu frequency to "on demand" | 12:44 |
| styelz | moo | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | Muu! | 12:45 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, if ubuntu doesn't care about the command, why would it hide the link because of said command? | 12:45 |
| llutz | raven: sudo cpufreq-selector -g ondemand | 12:47 |
| z3bra | Hi | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: could be it was looking for 'opera %u.png' | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: could be the opera package makers messed up also... | 12:47 |
| raven | llutz, does not work | 12:48 |
| llutz | !work | 12:48 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: could be you just needed to refresh your menus also and the opera %u might have worked.. | 12:48 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, but the link itself didn't show, because of this comand, and this wasn't in the part for which icon to use, but what command to run | 12:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | :D | 12:48 |
| z3bra | Does somebody knows how to add a tabulation at the beginning of multiple line with VIM ? | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | gnome has known issues with not seeing changes to the menus items untill it gets refreshed. | 12:49 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, but new menu links showed right away, how do you "refresh the menu" anyway? | 12:49 |
| raven | llutz, it still idles on maximum frequency!!!!!!! | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | z3bra: how many lines? you could make a macro | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | z3bra: or do it once by hand and use the . key to repeate it. | 12:49 |
| raven | where to find tray icons like from mounted truecrypt sessions | 12:49 |
| theadmin | z3bra: Hm... :42,666s/^/\t/ | 12:49 |
| z3bra | i don't really know... | 12:50 |

| Gentoo64 | raven, in the system tray | 12:50 |
| z3bra | dr_willis "^" represent the begginning of the line ? | 12:50 |
| raven | Gentoo64, there is NO system tray and NO truecrypt icon with NO option to unmount volumes | 12:51 |
| theadmin | z3bra: Yeah | 12:51 |
| Gentoo64 | ok | 12:51 |
| xangua | there is a cpufreq indicator raven | 12:51 |
| Gentoo64 | raven, dno then. you can unmount from the truecrypt gui | 12:51 |
| raven | xangua, where | 12:51 |
| z3bra | Okay ! Thanks a lot dr_willis and theadmin ! | 12:51 |
| z3bra | Bye ! | 12:51 |
| raven | Gentoo64, i cannot access the GUI | 12:51 |
| Gentoo64 | why? | 12:52 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, Rebooting will generally refresh everything; we do, however, try to avoid that as it is somewhat, winblozish. I would assume a logiout/logout would refresh most items. | 12:52 |
| raven | Gentoo64, because there is NO tray icon to come up with this gui again | 12:52 |
| xangua | raven: http://askubuntu.com/posts/37997/revisions | 12:52 |

| Gentoo64 | raven, you dont need it | 12:52 |
| Gentoo64 | raven, click the truecrypt program icon | 12:52 |
| raven | Gentoo64, how to do it then | 12:52 |
| Gentoo64 | raven, or in terminal try truecrypt | 12:52 |
| Sidewinder1 | logout/login, even. | 12:53 |
| raven | Gentoo64, truecrypt already running | 12:53 |
| Gentoo64 | try tabs see if theres something like truecrypt_gui | 12:53 |
| Browser | hi | 12:53 |
| Gentoo64 | raven, if only i knew where the system tray was... lol | 12:53 |
| Sidewinder1 | Mornin' Browser | 12:54 |
| smethia | Hi Tom | 12:54 |
| Gentoo64 | that would solve ur problem | 12:54 |
| raven | Gentoo64, do you know anything about this unity/gnome3 crap? | 12:54 |
| Gentoo64 | no | 12:54 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, there isn't a better/easier way? And why would one menu link require a refresh, but another wouldn't? | 12:55 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, I have no idea, sorry. Perhaps you might consider (if you've solved the problem) moving on to the "next item on your list." I will say that I have never added a program, form the providers/writers site, to Software Center and installed form there.. | 12:57 |
| Sidewinder1 | from, even. | 12:58 |
| raven | xangua, why theese applets do not apopear after relogin | 12:58 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, I prefer Synaptic | 12:58 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, except I wouldn't know how to add it with synaptic | 12:59 |
| xangua | raven: run indicator-cpufreq ¿ | 12:59 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, That's partially my point. For me, I don't install anything, with few exceptions, not listed in Synaptics 35,000 choices. | 13:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, Even then, sometimes after installation, there's no icon and I launch form CLI; but usually that's for programs that I rarely use. | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | If you used the .deb package. you basically did install it with synaptic, (or some other apt tool) | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | I imagine its the package thats not runnng some post setup command to tell gnome to rescan | 13:02 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, its got lots of random files that are hard to search through, its confusing the way it works, and just because some program like opera isn't listed in it, doesn't mean I shouldn't use it | 13:02 |
| pangolin | ^ | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | Opera I think is in one of the repos. | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | !opera | 13:03 |
| ubottu | Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser. It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 13:03 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, You are correct on all counts. | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | ive had to many issues with oprea the last few months ive used it. back to using chrome. | 13:03 |
| lyrae | #pygame | 13:04 |
| raven | why do i have to add thousands of repositories for something that was in ubuntu some releases before | 13:04 |
| the_misfit | freaking browser wars, whatever happened to good ole KDE vs GNOME | 13:04 |
| the_misfit | always somethin | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | raven: which app are you refering to? | 13:04 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, like what kind of issues? | 13:04 |
| jason00 | Question - let's say I have an SD card with an EXT3 partition that will not unmount. I fell asleep last night with my computer trying to unmount it via nautilus and it sat there for the better part of 6 hours unable to unmount. It was still trying when I woke up. Any ideas? | 13:04 |
| superZoom | hi | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: its not syncing with opera on my phone like its supposed to. and im constantly finding sites these days that have special features that dont work with opera. | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | truepurple: main reason i was using it on the pc. was because i was also using it on my phone. | 13:05 |
| raven | dr_willis, all apps that make ubuntu ready to work at least a bit sensefully http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/list-of-application-indicators | 13:05 |
| the_misfit | jason00: you can forcibly unmount it in a terminal | 13:06 |
| the_misfit | or just pull the damn thing out and stop being a baby | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | raven: most of those indicator applets came out after the 11.10 release i belive. | 13:06 |
| getitfixed | How do I package ubuntu 11.04 for xoom | 13:06 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: stop being a baby? pardon me? The SD card doesn't WORK when I try to use it. | 13:06 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, Sidewinder1 I have flash installed, but it has a graphics update problem, where if I click a button that is meant to change a screen, it does not change fully, and I get broken artifacts of the two screens, the one before, and the one I am suppose to be at. Scrolling down on the webpage, and back up, updates the graphics, but moving something from another window in front of it, does not. This is the same in both opera and fir | 13:06 |
| truepurple | efox, not in midori but that browser has lots of other issues, including with its flash | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | raven: with any luck they will get included in teh default repos for the next release. | 13:06 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: I'm trying to understand what's wrong with it. It's not about it properly unmounting, it's about it not working and it won't properly unmount as a result. | 13:06 |
| the_misfit | jason00: i was in jest i apologize you got offended. So the problem is ? | 13:07 |
| superZoom | how do i run GUI app from terminaa | 13:07 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: read above. | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | superZoom: type its name.. | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | superZoom: ie 'gedit' to run gedit... | 13:07 |
| the_misfit | jason00: Does the OS detect it? | 13:07 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: apologize I got offended? Or apologize you acted like a child? There's a difference. | 13:07 |
| raven | dr_willis, will canonical then think about the users again? | 13:07 |
| the_misfit | jason00: Relax, let's move on to your problem please! | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | raven: pointless and off topic discussion. | 13:07 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: the SD card is from my phone. FAT32 and EXT3 partitions. The EXT3 partition shows up as 0.0 B when its 2 gb in size. | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | The focus for the next release from what ive seen will be 'polishing' the disrto. so we will have to see what happens. | 13:08 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: the SD card with EXT partition contains apps to my phone, so its necessary it works and I realized right away it was acting up | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 13:08 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: you know, I just did a backup - I wonder if it kicked it to my EXT partition and not FAT and maxed it out??? | 13:08 |
| the_misfit | jason00: well, is your phone reading the data? | 13:08 |
| raven | dr_willis, most important to discuss about otherwise ubuntu will become 100% crap very very soon | 13:08 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: FAT yes, EXT no. | 13:09 |
| pangolin | !ot | raven | 13:09 |
| ubottu | raven: #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! | 13:09 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: FAT is data, EXT is apps | 13:09 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: I thought maybe the FS was corrupt. | 13:09 |
| jason00 | raven: I happen to like Ubuntu's recent decisions. Very much in fact. Sorry you disagree, but other distros are available if you so choose. | 13:09 |
| the_misfit | jason00: have you tried mounting it using a live cd | 13:09 |
| BarkingFish | jason00: apologies for butting in, and I know this is OT - but what phone do you have? I've never seen one which reads linux partitions off a storage card. | 13:10 |
| jason00 | BarkingFish: android. | 13:10 |
| superZoom | dr_willis: Surprisingly it is working now, but before i change owner and trying to run from root terminal, and it was giving error | 13:10 |
| the_misfit | ya BarkingFish, he prob has a rooted phone | 13:10 |
| BarkingFish | ok, thanks. I think it's time for an upgrade for me :) | 13:10 |
| jason00 | BarkingFish: my android is super low end and has so little space for apps, so I partitioned the SD card with 2gb EXT3 and used Link2SD (avialable in market) to automatically sym-link things over so I utilize the 2GB spot for apps instead of the lowsy 170mb onboard memory. | 13:10 |
| jason00 | BarkingFish: the_misfit yes, my phone is rooted and flashed. :D | 13:11 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: the other thing is, If I have the card in my laptop and unmount it, my laptop wont ever detect it again unless I reboot the laptop | 13:12 |
| === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral | ||
| the_misfit | jason00: Try booting a live distro like.. Partition Magic or something | 13:12 |

| the_misfit | s | 13:12 |
| truepurple | dr_willis, Sidewinder1, can you help me with my flash trouble? | 13:12 |
| the_misfit | at least eliminate the hardware possibility first | 13:13 |
| BarkingFish | jason00: One thing I'd also like to check - where did you partition the card into Ext3? Is it on the same distro you're on now? | 13:13 |
| jason00 | BarkingFish: I partitioned it with gparted on ubuntu. I've done a lot of backups/recoveries lately so I wonder if osmething got corrupt.... | 13:13 |
| a433b | guys | 13:13 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: here's what's weird... ext is giving me the headache, yet it operates fine on ubuntu. the fat partition comes back with 0 bytes used yet theres data on it. Strange... | 13:13 |
| a433b | on configuring squid proxy | 13:14 |
| a433b | i have got it to wor | 13:14 |

| jason00 | the_misfit: whats wrong with GParted in Ubuntu vs GParted on Ubuntu livecd? | 13:15 |

| Shrek | Hello, how to change the interface language of Ubuntu 11.10? | 13:16 |
| Shrek | I want to use German and Portuguese. | 13:16 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, shouldn't matter, I'm thinking he means don;t use "dr. bobs magic partition creat0r recoverererer 5000" | 13:16 |
| jason00 | BarkingFish: I'm not sure. I may just have to redo the card. I was trying to do a FS check but I cant do a FS check unless its unmounted... but it wont properly unmount... this is why ( the_misfit ) I was trying to spend so much time unmounting it. | 13:16 |
| the_misfit | jason00: well, it's my impression that your installed OS can't read the FAT partition, correct, and you're unsure if it's a hardware or software issue | 13:16 |
| the_misfit | just a suggestion | 13:16 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: my OS is Ubuntu. Ubuntu can read/write/sleep/eat FAT32. | 13:16 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00: Stupid question but all the pins on the card are of course clean and not separated? | 13:16 |
| jason00 | the_misfit: the fact Ubuntu CAN read it, yet its saying 0 bytes used, makes me wonder if its corrupt | 13:16 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, What you need to remember is that Opera was originally designed as a 'stripped-down', light weight browser. I would think Flash and other 'heavy', items might be problematic. Flash in Firefox, on the other hand, should kind' take care of itself; unless it's a graphics- card/driver issue.. | 13:17 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: oh yeah, we're good there. I never even pulled the card out to the laptop until I saw I was having issues on the phone. The issues didnt come about until I did a recovery and 3 backups. | 13:17 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00: if ubuntu can play with ext3 fine I would backup what you have and just format your card, you probably have a damaged partition table, it doesn't know what's listed for the fat32 so it just reads 0B | 13:17 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: which takes the 2gb partition + the phones onboard storage, zips it, and saves it to the FAT partition | 13:17 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, its not taking care of itself, I installed opera because firefox was having trouble with the flash, and opera updates the flash screen better, but still has the same problem | 13:18 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, as annoying as that is that's probably the proper solution | 13:18 |
| BarkingFish | Well I have to go guys, but I will say this - for what it's worth, I've attempted to mix partition types on a card before (for a PC, not for a phone) and it never turns out well. They're prone to taking a nosedive from my personal experience. | 13:18 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: I'm fine with it. I was just trying to understand what caused it. :( | 13:18 |
| jason00 | BarkingFish: with all file systems? Or just EXT? | 13:18 |
| BarkingFish | jason00: My last mix was Ext2|Ext3 | 13:19 |
| jason00 | BarkingFish: k, appreciate it. | 13:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, Im' sorry that I can't be of further assistance. :-( As I'm currently running Firefox 3.3.24 along with Lucid, 10.04 and it all 'just works', including flash.. | 13:20 |
| BarkingFish | if it's not unmounting properly, the only thing I can suggest is that you shutdown your machine, remembering to do an ALT+SYSRQ+E to sync your disks first, then ALT+SYSRQ+R to remount the system Read only before you do. | 13:20 |
| Sidewinder1 | Oops, make that FF 3.6.24... | 13:21 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, I just read upwards, quite unsure. If the card is still reading I am reluctant to say it's the card. Perhaps you had a bad block in your FAT that unmount puked at? I'm just speculating | 13:21 |
| BarkingFish | jason00: Sorry, that should be ALT SysRq + U to remount R/O, not Alt SysRq + R | 13:23 |
| BarkingFish | anyway, gotta go, see you later. | 13:24 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: the other curve ball is the fact I'm using 2 different partition types on 1 card and using them interchangably | 13:25 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: I did so many recoveries and backups in the last day that mayb eI just borked it | 13:26 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, certainly possible, pain in the butt, though =[ | 13:26 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: I should DD it to a .tar.gz for backup purposes | 13:26 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, yes you should, you could even then mount it as an image and mess with it if you os desire | 13:26 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, so* | 13:26 |
| Shrek | Hello, how to change the interface language of Ubuntu 11.10? I want to use German and Portuguese, and possibly another one. | 13:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, If you're experiencing the same or similar issues in FF and Opera with flash, that indicates, at least a flash or more likely problem with the video-card/driver, for same. I don't think that I could be terribly helpful with either, as I said they just work, for me. | 13:27 |
| jtokarchuk | Shrek, : go to the dash, and run "Language Support" | 13:29 |

| jtokarchuk | Shrek, Install/Remove languages, install the appropriate ones, and enable them either system-wide or for what parts you like | 13:30 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: so how do I format a card that won't properly unmount to format? o.O | 13:30 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, but it isn't the case in midori, and it wasn't the case for a long time. Someone said once that it was a issue with a newer flash version, but how might I revert to the last version that worked then? | 13:30 |
| Shrek | Jtokarchuk, okay. | 13:30 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, will gparted read it? | 13:31 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: read? yes. umount? no. | 13:31 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, allow you to perform actions on it? | 13:31 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: I think I just got it using the -f tag... force unmount... | 13:32 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: still failing to create ext3 over existing ext3. new partition table coming... | 13:32 |
| === sly is now known as Guest77190 | ||
| jtokarchuk | jason00: back it up, blow the partitions away, force it to unmount, and try to start fresh. IF that doesn't work, for what the SD cards cost, it might cost you less to buy one than what you will put into it in your own labor | 13:33 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: unable to create partition table. what the?????? | 13:33 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: I think I killed my sd card?? | 13:34 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, it seems that way. how long have you had it? | 13:34 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, I'm not sure and this is probably horrible advice but, if it were me, I'd probably remove FF and reinstall with a previous version. cAUTION! That may screw up your system, I don't know but it sounds like you're somewhat desperate. | 13:34 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: uh. 5 months or so? | 13:34 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, if you so wish, call the manufacturer and exercise your warranty, most of the people there have no idea what a partition is. so if you say "it doesnt work" they will believe you. However, the cost of the shipping to them will probably buy you a new card anyway | 13:35 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, reinstall flash with a previous version? Flash does not seem to be attached to any one particular browser | 13:35 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, It'll certainly kill your bookmarks/history unless you back them up. | 13:35 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: I have another card in my car I believe.... | 13:35 |
| jtokarchuk | jason00, sorry I could not be of more help, got to run. | 13:36 |
| jason00 | jtokarchuk: thanks | 13:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | truepurple, No I meant remove Firefox and reinstall a previous version, one that worked for you, but the CAUTION, above still applies.. | 13:36 |

| slakcphil | i am backing up some directories that have files over 150gb in them and getting real slow results with rsync | 13:37 |

| slakcphil | the drive is a usb 3.0 (hdparm reports reads at 2600 mbps) however the rsync writes very slow, like 4mbps | 13:38 |

| slakcphil | has anyone backed up with rsync to usb 3.0 external drive? | 13:39 |
| truepurple | Sidewinder1, well thankyou for trying | 13:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | slakcphil, Not that I'm aware of; I don't think there any "rsync optimization" which speed it up. | 13:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | slakcphil, It may be the usb-interface that's the bottleneck; I use eSata, it's 4-6 times faster than usb.. :-) | 13:41 |

| slakcphil | Sidewinder1, it is interfacing through a pcix card that has usb 3.0 ports | 13:44 |
| Korl | Sidewinder1: Yeah the graphics card is right | 13:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | Skummel, Well my current sys is an "Antique", Dell Dimension 4550 with usb2, max so, if memory serves, I got a 4-6 times advantage w/eSATA; at that time. :D | 13:45 |

| ubottu | tga: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:46 |
| tga | xangua: thanks, I know about the minimal cd, that's not what I'm asking | 13:47 |

| xangua | tga: alternate will install full desktop and server is for server edition | 13:48 |

| smw | hickleberryfun, hm... user ubuntu no password? | 14:02 |
| urthmover | wrektjet: netstat -a will show you currently open connects and resolve the ip then just whois the ip's might be mildly helpful | 14:02 |
| slakcphil | you can use tiger to check for some | 14:02 |
| hickleberryfun | tried it smw | 14:02 |
| slakcphil | lsof for open files | 14:02 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, let the system just load? | 14:02 |
| slakcphil | w | 14:02 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, why is a user/pass needed? | 14:02 |
| slakcphil | for who is logged in | 14:02 |
| hickleberryfun | smw after the install of a wireless driver | 14:03 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, ? | 14:03 |
| slakcphil | w command is a personal paranoid reflex for me :) | 14:03 |
| urthmover | slakcphil: is there a ps switch that shows who initiated a process? | 14:03 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, are you logged in? | 14:03 |
| urthmover | slakcphil: nvrmnd I'll rtfm the man | 14:03 |
| hickleberryfun | smw if you logout and log back in the driver activates and is usable, otherwise it is not possible to use on the live cd | 14:03 |
| slakcphil | -o user it hink | 14:03 |
| Pici | urthmover: 'u' | 14:03 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, so open a terminal, type "whoami" then type passwd | 14:04 |
| hickleberryfun | smw no i use this computer, just booted up on here to see if i could find the login information | 14:04 |
| slakcphil | Pici is right -u for username and -U for uid | 14:04 |
| slakcphil | ps --help | 14:04 |
| urthmover | thx Pici slakcphil | 14:04 |
| wrektjet | i will look at all of these thnx | 14:04 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, ok, whoami will tell you the username to login as (ubuntu I think) | 14:04 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, passwd will let you set the password | 14:04 |
| Pici | urthmover: I meant u alone, not -u | 14:04 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, then you logout and log back in | 14:05 |
| hickleberryfun | smw but you still need to know the current | 14:05 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, sudo passwd ubuntu | 14:05 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, that should not require a password | 14:05 |
| urthmover | Pici: interesting ps u shows me just my processes | 14:05 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, note that "ubuntu" is the user who you are logged in as | 14:06 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, anything else? | 14:06 |
| Pici | urthmover: ps aux will show all processes. | 14:06 |
| === soundarapandian is now known as soundar | ||
| hickleberryfun | smw.. even with sudo you must know the current password, otherwise sudo cannot be used | 14:06 |
| usc911 | Hey guys, im having some odd issues. I have a pretty new and decent spec asus laptop, over the last couple of days when every im doing anything even slightly cpu intensive ( am currently untarring) the cpu fan goes absolutely ballistic, I cant work out what would possibly be the issue, any thoughts/suggestions? | 14:07 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, really? | 14:07 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, that doesn't make sense | 14:07 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, you tried it? | 14:07 |
| ikonia | usc911: probably your cpu needs cool when it scales up while untarring | 14:07 |
| usc911 | ikonia:but its never happened before and I used to failry hammer vmware | 14:08 |
| Sidewinder1 | usc911, ikonia That was my thought, as well. | 14:08 |
| hickleberryfun | smw, how so? no i havent tried it, but whenever you use the sudo command, you are ALWAYS prompted for your password unless you have entered it recently and your system is set to save the password for an amount of time within the span | 14:08 |
| ikonia | usc911: different types of use, vmware is more ram than cpu | 14:08 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, but this is a live cd | 14:08 |
| usc911 | ah ok | 14:08 |
| hickleberryfun | smw and gksudo for a graphical interface prompt | 14:08 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, it should work. The people who made the disk must have built in a way to obtain root | 14:09 |
| ikonia | usc911: look at it from a simple point of view, your cpu use goes up when you untar, = your cpu is more used, = your cpu is hotter, = turn on the fan | 14:09 |
| agentgasmask | Hi all. Can I delete the /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/profile/cache directory safely? Is it required? | 14:09 |
| usc911 | ikinia:how about video (iplayer in particular) that also hammers the fan and hasn’t done previously | 14:09 |
| hickleberryfun | smw i guess ill try it but it will probably be a waste of time- definitely appreciate the help though | 14:09 |
| xangua | smw: there is no root password on ubuntu | 14:10 |
| smw | hickleberryfun, If I were making the disk I would setup sudo nopass. I am sure they did it. | 14:10 |
| ikonia | usc911: that can be quite busy on the cpu, also depends if the flash plugin is being used | 14:10 |
| ikonia | usc911: it sounds like your laptop may not have the best/most compatible apci interface, but it does work | 14:10 |
| usc911 | ikonia: thanks | 14:10 |
| smw | xangua, "obtain root" in the sense of running with full sudo powers | 14:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | usc911, Video hammers my cpu, as well; but it's an older system.. :-( | 14:11 |
| usc911 | Sidewinder1: I'm just unsure why it has only just started doing it | 14:12 |
| usc911 | mine now overheats (seemingly) and just cuts out | 14:12 |
| Sidewinder1 | usc911, I understand, however, it sounds like the fan is working as designed; better to error on the side of cooling than too much heat. :D | 14:13 |
| Sidewinder1 | usc911, You said it ie a lappy? | 14:14 |
| usc911 | Sidewinder1: I agree, guess it's best to have it cut out rather than burn out. Yeah its an asus u33jc | 14:14 |
| Sidewinder1 | usc911, OK. My wife has a lappy that was running too hot; she bought an aftermarket external fan system. About $35.00, that the lappy sits on; problem solved.. | 14:16 |

| === maomao is now known as huahua | ||
| slakcphil | wrektjet, you will see like maybe a gnome session open in your name and if you have a terminal open it will show that as well, if there is someone remotely connected then it will show an ip or hostname | 14:24 |

| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 14:29 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 14:29 |

| mboeru | i need some help partitioning 2 hdds with software raid | 14:49 |
| theadmin | mboeru: Those are redhat tools... We don't support them... | 14:49 |
| Sidewinder1 | Foulad, At least you had the where-with-all to enclose in "<>" so she wouldn't stick her (ubottu) tongue, out at you. :D | 14:49 |
| mboeru | ubuntu uses a combination of kickstart with preseed, called preseed | 14:50 |

| ubottu | Guest43897: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 14:50 |

| r4y | I don't know why it's not saying it now, but still nothing is poping up, but I looked under my history to find this as part of one of my searches firefox couldn't retrieve add-ons | 14:50 |
| Foulad | <theadmin> Alt+Alt not working for me , im trying to change my keyboard to arabic , they only way now to change it from top bar by mouse | 14:50 |
| dalvan | ola | 14:50 |
| Gentoo64 | Foulad, why not set arabic as default? | 14:50 |
| dalvan | ?? | 14:51 |
| theadmin | Foulad: As I said, go to "Keyboard" in the settings center thingo, you'll be able to find the shortcuts for such stuff there (and change them too) | 14:51 |
| theadmin | Gentoo64: It's like with English and Russian - you need to switch because you can't type English with the Russian layout and vice versa | 14:51 |
| Gentoo64 | ah yea | 14:51 |

| Foulad | <theadmin> did not find it there !! | 14:52 |
| mboeru | so no kickseed knowers? :( | 14:53 |

| r4y | sorry I didn't know that link was so long | 14:57 |
| deej1976 | r4y: try using tinyurl.com as well | 14:58 |
| vegabond | hey | 14:58 |
| Sidewinder1 | deej1976, ot, but I've actually tried many typing programs; just didn't have the patience.. :-( It's tough bein' old and "set-in-one's-ways". | 14:58 |
| Gentoo64 | Sidewinder1, i bought a completely blank das the other week | 14:58 |
| vegabond | hi! please help me | 14:58 |
| deej1976 | Sidewinder1: yes, cli rules | 14:58 |
| Gentoo64 | can help, lol | 14:58 |
| r4y | thank you deej1976 | 14:59 |
| vegabond | how can i use the command line to open an application | 14:59 |
| Gentoo64 | vega-, type the app name | 14:59 |
| apwbdjp | vegabond, by typing the name of the application, and hitting enter | 14:59 |
| Gentoo64 | bond | 14:59 |
| deej1976 | vegabond: start a terminal and enter the name i.e. gedit | 15:00 |
| Gentoo64 | try typing part of it and hitting tab | 15:00 |
| Gentoo64 | some are weird names | 15:00 |
| Gentoo64 | random e.g avidemux is avidemux_gtk | 15:00 |
| === phuzion is now known as phongzion | ||
| Gentoo64 | for the gtk one ofc | 15:00 |
| vegabond | ok! tnx :) | 15:00 |
| === phongzion is now known as phuzion | ||
| apwbdjp | Gentoo64, even more twister: Ubuntu's disk utility: palimpsest | 15:00 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah, lol | 15:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | deej1976, I even tried ubuntu's sphinx-somethin'-or-other and couldn't get it configured properly, it's a speech to text program. If it'd worked, the floodbots would've set a permanent ban on my IP. ;-) | 15:01 |
| Gentoo64 | not even tab can help you with that | 15:01 |
| r4y | If you want to know what the name is for a program drag and drop it into the terminal then try omitting the rest. That usually works. | 15:01 |
| Gentoo64 | r4y, dont work in all terminals/des. | 15:01 |
| ok2cqr | Gentoo64, I just looked at dmesg and see eth0: no IPv6 routers present but ping6 to ipv6.google.com works | 15:01 |
| Gentoo64 | bad practice imo | 15:01 |
| Gentoo64 | ok2cqr, thats normall message | 15:01 |
| deej1976 | Sidewinder1: Excellent wouldn't have to watch this terminal. | 15:02 |
| apwbdjp | r4y, Gentoo64 I remember an app that would give you the name of whatever window you clic on.. anyone know about that? | 15:02 |
| Gentoo64 | :s not sure | 15:02 |
| llutz | apwbdjp: xwininfo | 15:03 |
| apwbdjp | llutz, I love you | 15:03 |
| Sidewinder1 | deej1976, No, no; I'd still have to read the screen; just would've been able to speak (with no typos/spelling mistakes) and text would've been in my response window; just hit 'enter'. | 15:04 |
| apwbdjp | xprop seems to help with that too | 15:04 |
| Gentoo64 | ok2cqr, keep a tail -f /var/log/messages (or similar) open see if it says anything when it cuts off | 15:04 |
| Gentoo64 | or plain dmesg | 15:05 |
| WicketUser | hi , i tried to install mysql server and upgrade it but i got some error that i am not able to remove mysql server or install it again.. any suggestion? | 15:05 |
| deej1976 | Sidewinder1: Even better then, Screen Reader reading off replies, and then a voice to text convert, woow | 15:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | If, only.. | 15:05 |
| r4y | Sorry for flooding. I guess I should leave | 15:06 |
| ok2cqr | Gentoo64, nothing was added | 15:06 |
| Gentoo64 | so ipv4 still works fine when v6 cuts off? | 15:07 |
| Sidewinder1 | r4y, I didn't think you were flooding.. | 15:07 |
| Gentoo64 | and only on one box, both have same net cards? | 15:07 |
| WicketUser | guys, i am new to ubuntu.. could u tell me how to uninstall a software completely? | 15:07 |
| Gentoo64 | same router etc? | 15:07 |
| ok2cqr | Gentoo64, yes, ipv4 is still working | 15:07 |
| Gentoo64 | WicketUser, apt-get purge app | 15:07 |
| r45c4l | hello friends, actually i am having some strange problem that when i am trying to open some websites its saying may be my system is infected with some virus, so i have taken the o/p of netstat -an and pstree can any one help me to figure out the problem | 15:07 |
| deej1976 | WicketUser: sudo apt-get purge [packagename] | 15:08 |
| r45c4l | i am not that good with linux | 15:08 |
| Gentoo64 | ok2cqr, hmm weird | 15:08 |
| Gentoo64 | ok2cqr, paste /etc/network/interfaces? | 15:08 |
| OerHeks | WicketUser, normally stop the service before removal. | 15:08 |
| Sidewinder1 | r4y, OIC, up above; everyone makes a mistake every now and then.. NP. | 15:08 |
| Gentoo64 | ok2cqr, i probably cant help tho | 15:08 |
| ok2cqr | Gentoo64, it seems that it iw working only if I leave ping6 ipv6.google.com running. After I terminate it, the connection is gone in a few seconds. | 15:08 |
| r4y | Hmm, well, light bulb. I should backup .mozilla, then try un-installing ad-block then see if my problem with add-ons not popping up go away,so I need to go. | 15:09 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, its a stupid advert | 15:09 |
| Gentoo64 | ignore it | 15:09 |
| Gentoo64 | ok2cqr, ahh | 15:09 |
| r45c4l | but Gentoo64 its really not allowing me to open couple of websites and asking me to fill stupid captchas | 15:09 |
| Gentoo64 | ok2cqr, make sure ipv6 ping is enabled on ur box | 15:09 |
| Gentoo64 | youll need it for a tunel | 15:10 |
| Gentoo64 | or itl disconnect you | 15:10 |
| r45c4l | if u want i can upload a screenshot too Gentoo64 | 15:10 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, ok | 15:10 |
| r4y | Take care all. And thank you for the kind words Sidewinder1 | 15:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | r4y, As an aside, I use adblock plus and have never has a problem with add-ons.. | 15:10 |
| ok2cqr | Gentoo64, I have native connection. | 15:10 |
| Gentoo64 | oh ok | 15:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | :D | 15:10 |
| Gentoo64 | erm | 15:10 |
| Barbarian | Good evening ladies and gentlemen | 15:10 |
| r4y | I have used ad-block a whole lot before without problems, so I don't what is going on | 15:10 |
| zach_ | so I'm a newbie to irc... is there anyone that would be kind enough to walk me through it.... unless I figured it out already | 15:10 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, screenshot please | 15:11 |
| r45c4l | ok 1 sec Gentoo64 till then here is th e OP of netstat -a and pstree http://pastebin.com/QqViiuEY | 15:11 |
| Gentoo64 | netstat means nothing to me | 15:11 |
| Gentoo64 | it could be anything | 15:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | r4y, It can, at times, be a challenge, but I'm reasonably certain that you'll figger' it out. | 15:11 |
| Barbarian | r45c4l, because of the way linux works, any virus is probably confined to your browser. Try uninstalling and purging, then reinstalling it | 15:12 |
| r4y | isn't there an irc channel for zach, it is the freenode channel or something like that. I remember asking before | 15:12 |
| Gentoo64 | Barbarian, that wont do anything | 15:12 |
| === enigmo is now known as enth | ||
| Barbarian | Gentoo64, no? | 15:12 |
| Gentoo64 | you cant get viruses like on windows | 15:12 |
| zach_ | ya r4y i think i screwed up the setup | 15:12 |
| Gentoo64 | it wouldnt be confuned to the browser anyway | 15:12 |
| Gentoo64 | imo it just wouldnt happen | 15:12 |
| Gentoo64 | unless it was ie in wine (possibly) | 15:13 |
| r4y | I run chatzilla. It's great. It's an add-on for Firefox | 15:13 |
| enth | Opera has a pretty okay integrated irc client | 15:13 |
| r4y | You can also get chatzilla through the Ubuntu Software Center | 15:13 |
| Barbarian | Thats the way I've understood it, that individual applications can get compromised, but that never affects any other app or the operating system | 15:13 |
| zach_ | cool thanks a bunch man | 15:14 |
| r4y | No Problem | 15:14 |
| Gentoo64 | Barbarian, nah. the whole thing about runnin "not" as root is so if anything bad does happen, the worst that can happen is a ruined /home | 15:14 |
| Gentoo64 | not a ruined / | 15:14 |
| r45c4l | Gentoo64, and Barbarian here is the screenshot http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/249/captchag.png/ | 15:14 |
| r45c4l | by the way Barbarian i did not got it what you want me to do | 15:14 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, ok that looks normal | 15:15 |
| Gentoo64 | the site just wants you to fill in crap | 15:15 |
| Gentoo64 | to proceed | 15:15 |
| Barbarian | yeah... nothing to do with viruses there | 15:15 |
| Sidewinder1 | Barbarian, I believe that you are essentially correct. You might look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 if you've not already seen it. | 15:15 |
| r45c4l | yeah but these sites are normal sites Gentoo64 and Barbarian and this never happened before | 15:16 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, no idea. its not a virus tho | 15:16 |
| r4y | Wow, what a great reason to have home protected with sudo, no? | 15:16 |
| r45c4l | its saying that may be some bot can be also there so is that possible ? | 15:16 |
| Gentoo64 | it cant be | 15:16 |
| dbristow | Looks like the precise-preinstalled-desktop-armel+ac100.bootimg that's currently on cdimage.ubuntu.com fails the MD5SUM/SHA1SUM/SHA256SUM checksums | 15:16 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, then it wouldnt be /home | 15:16 |
| dbristow | 12.04 alpha-1 | 15:16 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, as youd be running stuff as root, which is worse | 15:17 |
| Barbarian | r45c4l, have you tried filling that in and clicking next? | 15:17 |
| dbristow | Everywhere I have been able to download it from, it fails the checksum. | 15:17 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, you using proxy? | 15:17 |
| Gentoo64 | tor, web prioxy whatever | 15:17 |
| Gentoo64 | its prob that | 15:17 |
| dbristow | Every other file passes. | 15:17 |
| r45c4l | no Gentoo64 thats what i also thought too but i checked and i am not on any proxy | 15:17 |
| Barbarian | Also, thanks Sidewinder1! Thats a great read as I recently got my hands on a debian server I ssh to | 15:17 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, what dns you using? | 15:17 |
| r45c4l | tor i have disable as i dont need at home | 15:17 |
| === kevin is now known as Guest59563 | ||
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, id check for proxies, or random dns | 15:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | Barbarian, My pleasure. :D | 15:18 |
| r45c4l | Gentoo64, right now i am using a data card and if u want my dns i can give u the details here | 15:18 |
| r45c4l | wait | 15:18 |
| Gentoo64 | they can show as "bots" or suspicious and make you fill out captchas | 15:18 |
| Gentoo64 | i reckon its a proxy | 15:18 |
| codazoda | Uh-oh. I uninstalled nvidia and now my MacBook Pro won't boot. Any ideas? Recovery mode locks up at the resume, fsck, remount, root menu. | 15:18 |

| Gentoo64 | thats like the standard dns nowadays | 15:21 |
| Barbarian | dehorse, lol | 15:21 |

| r45c4l | should i just check for http packets or something else too ??? | 15:21 |
| Gentoo64 | you could | 15:22 |
| codazoda | SideWinder1, No, I had 10.10 then 11.04 then 11.10. Upgraded each. I just uninstalled nvidia today and now it won't boot, even in recovery mode. | 15:22 |
| Sidewinder1 | dehorse, Please have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 | 15:22 |
| Gentoo64 | but itll probbaly just be a load of mess | 15:22 |
| dehorse | i know. im stupid lol | 15:22 |
| r45c4l | yeah you are right Gentoo64 | 15:22 |
| Gentoo64 | r45c4l, try different dns (googles) and see if it goes away | 15:22 |
| dehorse | THANKS sidewinder | 15:22 |
| Gentoo64 | i googled ur dns ip and cant find anything "normal" | 15:22 |
| Barbarian | r45c4l, don't think you'd find much with wireshark tbh | 15:23 |
| r45c4l | aaah thats a nice idea Gentoo64 thanks, let me try | 15:23 |
| Gentoo64 | but i spent 2 secs looking | 15:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | dehorse, Glad to help. | 15:23 |
| rtr- | hi | 15:23 |
| codazoda | Is there a keystoke to exit the "Recovery Menu"? That seems "broken" on my box. | 15:24 |
| rtr- | is it possible to install a minimal-install from a usual setupcd? | 15:24 |
| Gentoo64 | rtr-, dont think so | 15:24 |
| Gentoo64 | otherwise they wouldnt make a minimal cd :) | 15:24 |
| codazoda | I get a "low speed usb device" note and then the menu is unresponsive. | 15:25 |
| Barbarian | rtr-, put a minimal install on a usb with unetbootin, easiest way | 15:25 |
| WicketUser | hi , please could u tell me how to stop a running service in ubuntu 11.10? | 15:25 |
| Gentoo64 | service stop | 15:25 |
| Gentoo64 | service something stop | 15:26 |
| WicketUser | thx | 15:26 |
| czytelnia | gruby | 15:27 |

| |Anthony| | can i use this package in 10.04: | 15:27 |
| |Anthony| | http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/web/rtmpdump | 15:27 |
| Gentoo64 | Barbarian, ubuntu uses service as well, which apparently stops in a nicer way | 15:28 |
| Gentoo64 | i dont use ubuntu, i learn abotu it in here lol | 15:28 |
| WicketUser | Gentoo64 : the service is there when i list them but i got : stop: Unknown instance: | 15:28 |
| Barbarian | Gentoo64, just tried it with yacy, don't know the details but it's certainly faster | 15:28 |
| dehorse | sidewinder, aren't we on firefox 4 not 3? | 15:29 |
| Gentoo64 | WicketUser, right service name? | 15:29 |
| WicketUser | yes | 15:29 |

| smax | I want to read the source of a tool. Where does scapy go, if I apt-get install scapy? | 15:31 |
| Gentoo64 | its diaabled by default btw | 15:31 |
| smax | it's a python program | 15:31 |
| sskalnik | WicketUser, mysqld, not mysqlId | 15:31 |
| Barbarian | WicketUser, without the 'I' | 15:31 |
| dehorse | cool then i think im good thanks gentoo | 15:31 |

| Gentoo64 | r4y, its one of the most popular extentions, afaik it should work even on the daily builds | 15:41 |

| LiNuX`sup | right cick show hidden folders | 15:46 |
| Gentoo64 | LiNuX`sup, ok so do you have nvidia? if so did you manually install any drivers for it? | 15:46 |
| pangolin | meerkats: are you being serious? the path is /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope it is a file try nano /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope | 15:46 |
| |Anthony| | Sidewinder1, yes i do, but i was hoping that the rtmpdump 2.4 package might not be version specific | 15:46 |
| LiNuX`sup | no, only what ubuntu felt was best | 15:46 |
| Gentoo64 | if not youll be on nouveau (kernel driver) | 15:46 |
| Gentoo64 | ok | 15:46 |
| |Anthony| | don't want to build from source | 15:46 |
| meerkats | pangolin, just why do you think I ask? | 15:46 |
| Gentoo64 | well lspci | grep VGA | 15:46 |

| Gentoo64 | LiNuX`sup, hmm no idea about ati. try installing ati drivers though it might help | 15:49 |
| meerkats | can anyone tell me how to find, /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ not using the terminal? | 15:49 |

| |Anthony| | Sidewinder1, well, 12.04 has alsa 1.0.24 and rtmpdump 2.4 which are needed for xbmc | 15:50 |
| gulzar | Gentoo64: yes there are. so what to choose - sub-pixel geometry has multiple options : RGB , BGR , VRGB, VBGR . Which is best? | 15:50 |
| |Anthony| | but it's in alpha | 15:50 |
| Gentoo64 | gulzar, plain RGB | 15:50 |
| Sidewinder1 | |Anthony|, Not that, sometimes I try to get "creative" but, that's at your own risk. ;-) | 15:50 |
| meerkats | Gentoo64, I need to edit a file in that directory, I can just cd to it in the terminal but I have no idea what to do next. I just thought, if I access that directory via GUI Ubuntu would let me open it as a txt or sh file | 15:50 |

| jason00 | Question - I want to create a DD backup of my SD card. How would I do it? sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/user/sdbackup.tar.gz ??? | 15:54 |
| Gentoo64 | meerkats, to explain, say you want to use noop scheduler, you can do: echo "noop" > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler but its gone after reboot | 15:55 |
| |Anthony| | Sidewinder1, the 10.04 box i have put together right now to use for xbmc is a pain... i don't do updates cause i'm tired of packages breaking... forget how to "pin" a package so it doesn't get uninstalled during updates (alsa 1.0.24) | 15:55 |
| Gentoo64 | meerkats, so you can add sysctl options to have them loaded at boot | 15:55 |
| Gentoo64 | or do the kernel yourself ofc | 15:55 |
| meerkats | ok Gentoo64 , ill have too google anyways | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | jason00, why the tar extension ..dd it first then compress the file | 15:56 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | jason00 like http://www.backuphowto.info/linux-backup-hard-disk-clone-dd | 15:56 |
| jason00 | BluesKaj: but what do I DD it to? I'm not DDing it to another flash drive or else I could do if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc | 15:56 |
| demon | okay | 15:56 |
| jason00 | RaTTuS|BIG: ahhh! .img! That's what it was. I had forgotten what it was when I read about it a few weeks ago. | 15:56 |
| VinZe_DiamoNd | hi | 15:57 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | but also - liek dd if=/dev/daa conv=sync,noerror bs=64k | gzip -c > /mnt/sda1/hda.img.gz | 15:57 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | sort of thing - also the HD values occoringly | 15:57 |
| apwbdjp | RaTTuS|BIG, any reason for the 64K block? | 15:58 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | apwbdjp - yeah bigger reads are better than the stansdard - even 1M may get it faster | 15:59 |
| === tianlong is now known as cablop | ||

| apwbdjp | RaTTuS|BIG, oh, me too about the 1M, I though you used smaller for the compression or something. | 15:59 |
| trosky | Hola | 16:00 |
| jason00 | RaTTuS|BIG: I don't really want speed or anything. I just want to ensure what I have in the .img is identical to the sd card contents. Would the standard if=/dev/sdb of=/home/user/disk.img do the job? | 16:01 |

| larryone | hi guys, copy and paste on my ubuntu desktop box seem to have stopped working as expected | 16:11 |
| larryone | I suspected synergy may have been interfering, but the symptoms persisted after killing it | 16:12 |
| larryone | any idea where I can look to try to diagnose copy and paste failures? | 16:12 |
| larryone | or generic clipboard schtuff? | 16:12 |
| Gentoo64 | in what way is it broke? | 16:12 |
| Gentoo64 | middle click? | 16:13 |
| Gentoo64 | or proper paste | 16:13 |
| larryone | usualy i highlight to copy and middle click to paste | 16:13 |
| larryone | this does nothign | 16:13 |
| Gentoo64 | that can be fragile imo | 16:13 |
| larryone | shift insert does nothing | 16:13 |
| larryone | highlight, right click, copy | 16:13 |
| Gentoo64 | what about normal copy (ctrl c) then paste | 16:14 |
| larryone | then right clisk, and paste is greyed out | 16:14 |
| Gentoo64 | :S | 16:14 |
| Gentoo64 | dont know | 16:14 |
| deej1976 | overdub: cat /boot/config-`uname -r` | 16:14 |

| hatchetjack | any ideas on how to install devede in 11.10? | 16:15 |
| Gentoo64 | only thing it dotn work for me with is if i cop from incognito browser, then close the browser | 16:15 |
| larryone | ctrl-c and ctrl-v seem to be ok in firefox for example, but ctrl-c for copying stuff in the terminal is no good =0) | 16:15 |
| hatchetjack | I seem to be in dependenacy hell | 16:15 |
| Gentoo64 | larryone, thats because ctrl c is cancel in terminal | 16:15 |
| celthunder | larryone: which terminal app are you using | 16:15 |
| deej1976 | hatchetjack: sudo apt-get install devede | 16:15 |
| larryone | yes, i know | 16:15 |
| overdub | deej1976: just found that with google and about to try it, thanks | 16:15 |
| Gentoo64 | you need right click, paste (in gnome terminal) | 16:15 |
| larryone | i'm using gnome-terminal | 16:15 |
| larryone | it worked up till recently | 16:15 |
| larryone | never seen it fail before | 16:16 |
| hatchetjack | deej1976: what does aptitude choke on it? | 16:16 |
| celthunder | then theres shorcuts for copy and paste i don't know what it is though cuase i use urxvt | 16:16 |
| Gentoo64 | larryone, well ctrl +c or v wont work in terminal for either | 16:16 |
| Gentoo64 | you need to right click | 16:16 |
| Gentoo64 | then copy or paste | 16:16 |
| Gentoo64 | apart from that, no idea :s | 16:16 |
| larryone | i know - i do most of my stuff on terminal | 16:16 |
| deej1976 | hatchetjack: Just updating system | 16:17 |
| larryone | but the menu items copy and paste on gnome terminal dont work | 16:17 |
| Gentoo64 | maybe its a bug, somewhere. no idea | 16:17 |
| Gentoo64 | :( sorry | 16:17 |
| larryone | and the highlight and middle-click clipboarding in my browser isnt working either | 16:17 |
| dawid | daw | 16:17 |
| larryone | so it's a problem that isnt tied to gnome-terminal | 16:17 |
| Gentoo64 | maybe the de, or something. really hard for me to say | 16:18 |

| deej1976 | hatchetjack: Looks like aptitude install doesn't like libavformat-extra-52 libpostproc-extra-52 libswscale-extra-2, and wants to remove 126 others | 16:19 |
| Gentoo64 | larryone, idk what synergy is but sounds like some other apps taking control of it | 16:19 |
| Gentoo64 | or some de setting | 16:19 |
| riffautae | larryone: other then restarting X i cant figure out how to reset the clipboard | 16:19 |
| larryone | but it's not bring anything i copy form the windows synergy server to the linux client | 16:19 |
| larryone | synergy is a software kvm | 16:20 |
| deej1976 | hatchetjack: sudo apt-get install devede, this just works though | 16:20 |
| larryone | but the problm persists after switching it off | 16:20 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | use synergy+ and it's a KM no V in it | 16:20 |
| larryone | damnit, dont want to have to resort to a microsoft type solution | 16:21 |
| larryone | RaTTuS|BIG, pedantic, but yes, you're right | 16:21 |

| slakcphil | i am still having trouble trying to figure out why my rsync backups to a usb3.0 external hdd are taking so long. | 16:21 |
| slakcphil | hdparm seems to read from the disk at 2660/mbps | 16:21 |
| larryone | restating the synergy server and client does nothing | 16:22 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | slakcphil - becase there is a lot of data to read and compare | 16:22 |
| Twinkletoes | I've followed a few docs but can't seem to configure nat'ing using ufw. Is ufw worth it for simple firewall rules, or was it an experiment which flopped? | 16:22 |

| slakcphil | RaTTus|BIG, ok so like the 180gb .vmdk file is causing the bottleneck? | 16:23 |
| overdub | slakcphil: possibly slow write speed? this has been my experience with external hard drives | 16:23 |
| ochosi | anyone here up for testing a theme for Unity? | 16:24 |
| slakcphil | overdub, hhmm, do you know of any good testing utilities for the write speed? | 16:24 |
| overdub | slack-m_: hdparm might have that feature, or the specs for your drive | 16:25 |
| slakcphil | RaTTuS|BIG it may be the compare part? does it do estimating?(rsync) | 16:25 |
| overdub | slakcphil: i mean, have to keep an eye on tab complete with 1600 plus users in here | 16:26 |

| udonthavetoknow | does somebody know why people don't get my messages by using the facebook-plugin in pidgin? everything else is fine, i see people being online, going offline etc... | 16:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | slakcphil, I would suspect that if you're verifying (crc or Md5sum type stuff) each and every file, it would think significantly longer. | 16:27 |
| j1mst1x | Before I flood the channel with questions about gnome shell troubleshooting questions is there a channel already setup for that? | 16:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | think=take | 16:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | Actually, I guess both would work. :D | 16:28 |
| slakcphil | RaTTuS|BIG, i have done that and it says 2660/mbps | 16:29 |
| slakcphil | Sidewinder1, do you think a script to use cp would be faster than rsync? | 16:29 |
| bbbbbbbb | question: can i set up my laptop that's connected via ethernet to create a wireless network i can use with my ipod? | 16:29 |
| Sidewinder1 | slakcphil, I have no idea; I've never backed up with cp. | 16:30 |
| slakcphil | RaTTuS|BIG, that seems to be testing a read and not a write | 16:31 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | slakcphil - rsync will be fast than cp if oyu have any data on the destination drive | 16:31 |
| udonthavetoknow | does somebody know why people don't get my messages by using the facebook-plugin in pidgin? everything else is fine, i see people being online, going offline etc... | 16:31 |

| leshaste | is there an easy way to install python 2.7 in lucid? | 16:32 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | but if ou are getting 2660 when nothign else is accessing the drive then the interface must be borked - try iot in a differnet slot | 16:32 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | back later | 16:32 |
| Sidewinder1 | slakcphil, The only ways that I've backed-up is grsync (Gui front-end for rsync and would probably take longer than rsync) and tar.. | 16:32 |
| slakcphil | that seems faster than 2.0 though | 16:32 |
| slakcphil | 450mbps = 2.0? | 16:32 |

| codazoda | My machine is locking up on boot. I noticed that if I add "nomodeset" to the grub options it boots fine. What does this mean and how can I do it permanently? | 16:36 |
| slakcphil | crazytra, yes the -z switch | 16:36 |
| slakcphil | does that slow it down? it seems like it makes less to send and therefore faster | 16:36 |
| crazytra | try it without, and see if its any better. sometimes the compression can be the bottleneck | 16:36 |

| dr_willis | fdisk is very easy to use.. if you know what you want. :) | 17:17 |
| slakcphil | udonthavetoknow, you may be able to run it froma tterminal and see if you can get some messages dumped to stdout while you are sending | 17:17 |
| udonthavetoknow | dr_willis: yeah i've also already thought of that... unfortunaley i don't know anbody else who is using the plugin/pidgin at all... | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | ks07: there is 'parted' gparted is a gui to parted | 17:17 |
| llutz | ks07: parted | 17:17 |
| JerryNJ | tsclient has the same black pointer | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | udonthavetoknow: check the pidgon homepage/forums or ubuntu forums or askubuntu.com | 17:18 |
| ks07 | parted it is, ty | 17:18 |
| HQRaja | dr_willis: I know how to do it...in fact it's working perfectly fine. I'm just looking for a way to be able to turn it on and off more easily. Right now, I have to go to System Settings > Network > Wireless and click 'Use as Hotspot' to enable it. | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | fdisk i thinkis getting a little out of date. | 17:18 |
| udonthavetoknow | dr_willis: i will, thanks | 17:18 |
| HQRaja | I'm looking for a way to enable it without all this navigation...using some shortcut I could add to the launcher preferably, or a command I could enter in the terminal or in GNOME Do | 17:18 |
| llutz | dr_willis: time for a change. fdisk -> parted, ifconfig -> ip etc.pp | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | HQRaja: no idea. most likely its running some script or set of commands.. but i dont use the feature any more. | 17:19 |
| dr_willis | llutz: what next will they add a N to umount? :) | 17:19 |
| HQRaja | dr_willis: Well not a problem :) | 17:19 |
| llutz | dr_willis: Don't you dare! | 17:20 |
| HQRaja | So, anyone else? | 17:20 |
| HQRaja | I need to use this feature a lot (basically every time I turn on my computer, because I share its internet connection with my Android phone using this method) and having to turn it on by all this navigation is a hassle | 17:20 |
| dr_willis | had someone here just the otehr day using 'unmount /media/foo' :) | 17:20 |
| HQRaja | Coming from Windows, I had a batch file in my startup folder, which executed the necessary commands on system startup to accomplish this automatically, or I could just run that batch file directly to do this | 17:21 |
| llutz | dr_willis: unix logic, mount to mount, umount to unmount | 17:21 |
| HQRaja | All it took was a double-click | 17:21 |
| slakcphil | <udonthavetoknow>, /usr/bin/pidgin -d | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | HQRaja: im suprised it dosent stay one once you enable it. | 17:21 |
| VGA|Toast | AP Mode = Master Mode | 17:21 |
| VGA|Toast | MASTER MODE | 17:21 |
| HQRaja | dr_willis: It does stay on once I have enabled it...just not after reboot. | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | HQRaja: check that !ics guide. it may give a clue. or check askubuntu would be my advice. | 17:22 |
| slakcphil | <udonthavetoknow> that may help you if you can catch it or output it to a file and search for the error | 17:22 |
| dr_willis | HQRaja: im suprised it dosent stay on after a reboot. | 17:22 |
| HQRaja | dr_willis: Alright, let me try that | 17:22 |
| slakcphil | /usr/bin/pidgin -d > fileforouput | 17:22 |
| HQRaja | dr_willis: Nah after reboot, it doesn't stay on on pretty much any operating system (doesn't on Android or Windows 7 for sure) | 17:22 |
| udonthavetoknow | slakcphil: oh thanks buddy, i'll do that | 17:22 |

| NET||abuse | hi folks, i need to install a server with subversion 1.5, how do i add a source that can give me that version? | 17:23 |
| batlock | so in 11.04 completely removing unity and replacing it with gnome is how hard? | 17:23 |
| batlock | cause 'ubuntu classic' isn't different than 'ubuntu' | 17:23 |
| batlock | here | 17:23 |
| HQRaja | batlock: No idea about 11.04 but it seemed quite easy on 11.10 | 17:24 |
| batlock | cool | 17:24 |
| llutz | btw, would a 11.10 installed on a BIOS-system still boot on a new board with UEFI? does grub2 have uefi-support? | 17:24 |
| batlock | wonder why they even put it on there | 17:24 |
| batlock | considering how many people hated it in 11.04 they kept it why? | 17:24 |
| batlock | it's a retarded ui, i like being able to customize my panel | 17:24 |
| HQRaja | Well, it was a start in 11.04...it will only evolve further | 17:24 |
| batlock | as does most of the populus i figure | 17:25 |
| HQRaja | BTW it's better than GNOME Shell, in my opinion. | 17:25 |
| HQRaja | GNOME Shell doesn't even give you a panel on desktop | 17:25 |
| mneptok | llutz: yes, UEFI works. but you'll have to prep the disk for UEFI use even using it on a BIOS system | 17:25 |
| batlock | which is why you use gnome-panel | 17:25 |
| HQRaja | I've set my panel to auto-hide in Unity and installed Docky as well as GNOME Do, and I'm loving the setup, with Unity | 17:26 |
| llutz | mneptok: any links/howtos off hand? | 17:26 |
| batlock | yea | 17:26 |
| batlock | i like being able to compiz cube | 17:26 |
| HQRaja | Oh you can enable the cube too...just use that compiz customization thingy | 17:26 |
| HQRaja | (dont recall the name..new to ubuntu) | 17:27 |
| MonkeyDust | i very soon got tired of the cube | 17:27 |
| batlock | tried | 17:27 |
| batlock | won't work with unity | 17:27 |
| * dr_willis perfers that the cube stays frogotten.. | 17:27 | |
| batlock | at least not here | 17:27 |
| HQRaja | I've never used the cube BTW | 17:27 |
| batlock | i lose my titlebars | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | theres some guides on ombubuntu or webupd8 on setting up the cube in unity | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | batlock: thats compiz crashing... | 17:27 |
| HQRaja | batlock: If you are on 11.04, there will be issues that wont be there in 11.10. 11.04 had the earlier version of unity that wasn't too mature | 17:27 |
| dr_willis | The Cube is the kind of thingk you show off to your windows friends.. then disable it when they leave.... | 17:28 |
| batlock | yea, i've had this issue with all of 11 | 17:28 |
| batlock | 11.04 and .10 | 17:28 |
| mneptok | llutz: just make sure to create a 100MB (or so) FAT32 partition and manually mount it to /boot/efi when installing on a BIOS/legacy system. if you move to UEFI, install grub2-efi and run grub-install and update-grub afterwards. | 17:28 |
| HQRaja | Heck, installing Gnome Shell itself was a hassle in 11.04 | 17:28 |
| batlock | so it's not just a .04 issue | 17:28 |
| dr_willis | its a 'unity and the cube dont play well together' issue. :) | 17:28 |
| llutz | mneptok: thanks, seems easy | 17:29 |
| HQRaja | BTW might I suggest Mint, if you're looking for ubuntu sans unity without compromise on everything else offered by ubuntu? | 17:29 |
| mneptok | llutz: 'tis | 17:29 |
| HQRaja | I personally don't like GNOME Shell at all for one primary reason (amongst a few secondary ones) : INSANE amount of screen real estate wasted in every window's top region | 17:29 |
| HQRaja | Just plain wasted, by deciding not to integrate the menu bar into the top bar, and leaving the top bar kinda empty with just the current app's title...and yet the title appears in every window's top region too! | 17:30 |
| dr_willis | Global menu can be added to gnome-shell | 17:30 |
| HQRaja | That was just a retarded decision by those who designed Gnome Shell | 17:30 |
| mneptok | let's not get on "_____ UI sucks because ______" offtopicness, shall we? | 17:31 |
| HQRaja | dr_willis: Oh OK...still, most users prefer a good UI out of the box | 17:31 |
| fishcooker | myrtii, are u there...how to make 11.10 tone xfce like yours? | 17:31 |
| magpii | can someone tell me the best ubuntu software to use for radio music braodcasting please? | 17:31 |
| HQRaja | mneptok: Heh alright | 17:31 |

| dr_willis | fishcooker: thats a little.. vague.. | 17:33 |

| mneptok | magpii: stream to .... ? | 17:33 |
| magpii | my website | 17:33 |
| MonkeyDust | magpii repeat, radiotray, a small applet | 17:33 |
| dr_willis | magpii: use some of the shoutcast streaming apps perhaps. depends onw hat the clients are going to be using. | 17:33 |
| mneptok | magpii: you need to be much more specific. | 17:33 |
| MonkeyDust | ah, to a website | 17:33 |
| hwilde | the answer, is, shoutcast. | 17:33 |
| batlock | can someone explain this? | 17:34 |
| batlock | http://pastebin.com/760MpQ52 | 17:34 |
| magpii | on windows i had some software that streamed my music playlist through a free online server and then a player on my website for people to tune into, if that makes any more sense | 17:34 |
| HQRaja | OK so I've searched on askubuntu and looked at the ics page but still can't find it...though I'm sure there's *got* to be a way to do it. | 17:35 |

| MonkeyDust | !nounity| fishcooker | 17:37 |
| ubottu | fishcooker: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 17:37 |
| fishcooker | how to make it true | 17:37 |
| mneptok | fishcooker: XFCE does not use Unity. neither does Xubuntu. | 17:37 |
| HQRaja | fishcooker: If you get xubuntu, you don't get unity at all...and you get xfce | 17:37 |
| riffautae | pikaciu: you can use the LAMP software stack to serve public web pages if thats what you are asking | 17:37 |

| batlock | asking for ubuntu help | 17:45 |
| batlock | specifically, how do i remove unity completely and go to gnome | 17:45 |
| hylian | Soneek, actually, there are tonnes of places. ##club-ubuntu is a any topic chat room, with people who use ubuntu, not a tech room like this. just a suggestion | 17:46 |
| batlock | but i get hit with !offtopic | 17:46 |
| Pici | batlock: "discussing ubuntu related issues" would be discussion, not asking for ubuntu related support. You just said that. | 17:46 |
| Pici | batlock: But as you can see, this channel is very busy, so we try to keep all discussion in another channel so that people can get help here without all sorts of other noise. | 17:46 |

| Myrtti | batlock: installing gnome-shell for that is asking for trouble :-/ | 17:50 |
| MonkeyDust | batlock maybe you should consider a fresh install, it may be easier | 17:51 |
| dr_willis | 11.10 has gnome shell in the repositories.. its not availiable in 11.04 without breakage. last i looked 11.04 had the old gnome 2 desktop in it. | 17:51 |
| batlock | a fresh install of unity | 17:51 |
| batlock | just what i don't want | 17:51 |
| Pici | batlock: Did the instruction for !classic not help? | 17:51 |
| MonkeyDust | batlock or a different ubuntu fork | 17:51 |
| batlock | again, ubuntu classic is the same as ubuntu | 17:51 |
| dubbe | batlock: why not another distribution? linux-mint is kinda gnome but with gnome-shell | 17:51 |
| batlock | both unity | 17:51 |
| batlock | because i don't want to use a different distro | 17:51 |
| dr_willis | last i looked on 11.04 the classic was not unity. | 17:52 |
| batlock | i like(d) ubuntu | 17:52 |
| batlock | last i logged in | 17:52 |
| batlock | it was | 17:52 |
| dr_willis | sounds to me like it started unity instead. | 17:52 |
| MonkeyDust | batlock xubuntu is gnome-like | 17:52 |
| batlock | no | 17:52 |
| Pici | MonkeyDust: He wants to use gnome 2. | 17:52 |
| MonkeyDust | ah | 17:52 |
| batlock | well, i haven't really seen gnome3 | 17:53 |
| batlock | what's that like | 17:53 |
| mneptok | GNOME 2 is no longer a viable long-term option on any distro. | 17:53 |
| KrisDouglas | I'll be honest, if you wish to use gnome 2, have a look at Linux Mint. | 17:53 |
| dubbe | then i suggest again, install mate (it is a fork of gnome2 and mantained) | 17:53 |
| KrisDouglas | gnome 3 is... different. | 17:53 |
| MonkeyDust | MATE in Linux Mint looks like gnome 2 | 17:53 |
| batlock | how different | 17:53 |
| iceroot | KrisDouglas: linux mint does not have gnome2 | 17:53 |
| iceroot | KrisDouglas: every distro will remove gnome2 | 17:53 |
| hylian | batlock, i personally suggest installing the xubuntu packages. xfce 4 looks and acts a lot like gnome 2. | 17:53 |
| pdq | batlock, classic in 11.04 doesn't use unity, no unity dash and no unity launcher and no unity top panel uses gnome 2 panel | 17:53 |
| overdub | batlock: it's designed for a one track mind | 17:53 |
| dubbe | iceroot: linux mint has mate installed as default | 17:53 |
| iceroot | dubbe: mate is not gnome2 | 17:54 |
| Pici | UGh | 17:54 |
| batlock | but on MY MACHINE classic DOES have the unity panel | 17:54 |
| iceroot | dubbe: mate will not get security updates so mate is a bad option | 17:54 |
| * sipior goes for popcorn | 17:54 | |
| MonkeyDust | iceroot correct, but it looks like gnome2 | 17:54 |
| dubbe | iceroot: gnome2 won't get any updates at all :) | 17:54 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: looks like != is | 17:54 |
| KrisDouglas | iceroot, that's not the point. It just works like Gnome 2 | 17:54 |
| iceroot | dubbe: correct | 17:54 |
| Pici | batlock: I'm trying to find the config file that stores what starts up from GDM, one moment. | 17:54 |

| batlock | i don't want xfce, i don't want linux mint, i just want ubuntu 11.xx that looks like 10.xx | 17:54 |
| iceroot | KrisDouglas: then use ubuntu 11.04 which have gnome2 if you dont want security-updates in the next years | 17:54 |
| Myrtti | ok, most of you aren't actually helpful at all | 17:55 |
| iceroot | batlock: there is no gnome2 anymore | 17:55 |
| sipior | batlock: i'm afraid you're out of luck. | 17:55 |
| mneptok | batlock: you don't always get what you want. | 17:55 |
| sipior | mneptok: but if you try sometimes... | 17:55 |
| batlock | well with ubuntu that's apparent | 17:55 |
| Resistance | batlock: with any OS that's the case. | 17:55 |
| batlock | i just can't figure out why when i run gnome-wm --replace i get a message that tells me to use the --replace option | 17:55 |
| Resistance | batlock: you'll run into that wwherever yo ugo | 17:56 |
| mneptok | sipior: can i be Keith? i like Brian Jones' hair, but i'm too good a swimmer. | 17:56 |
| KrisDouglas | iceroot, I think you missed my point. | 17:56 |
| pdq | he is using 11.04 so classic gnome2 should be there | 17:56 |
| iceroot | KrisDouglas: the point is, gnome2 is no longer supported from the gnome-project so you dont get security updates | 17:56 |
| Myrtti | guise, please take the chitchat to #ubuntu-offtopic - the problem is being solved without this metadiscussion over what is the future of Gnome | 17:56 |
| dr_willis | pdq: sounds like his clasic is also launching unity. | 17:56 |
| batlock | OK, if gnome3 will actually display all the system tray icons i open, and allow me to customize the top bar panel, i'll gladly use that | 17:57 |
| pdq | right and thats a support question i think if thats the issue | 17:57 |
| KrisDouglas | iceroot, i never said use gnome 2??? | 17:57 |
| dubbe | batlock: nope | 17:57 |
| batlock | dr_willis, yea it is because i've fiddled with this machine sooo much | 17:57 |
| MonkeyDust | batlock great, but that's for #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:57 |
| batlock | MonkeyDust, what is | 17:57 |
| mneptok | batlock: you could try creating a new user, and see if the issue persists with a new account. | 17:58 |
| overdub | batlock: ubuntu configuration apparently | 17:58 |
| batlock | overdub, iknow right? | 17:58 |
| Braber01 | is there a utility/command to convert Linux text documents into Windows Text documents I Can't remember the name of that command | 17:59 |
| dr_willis | batlock: as a test.. make a new user. see if the classic desktop is unity, or the old one i guess... | 17:59 |
| LjL | Braber01: unix2dos is one | 17:59 |
| dr_willis | Braber01: dozens of ways to do it. :) | 17:59 |

| speedxcore | Hi I'm looking for a guide to versioning filesystems that works with ubuntu. Any ideas? | 18:01 |
| dr_willis | speedxcore: any time i hear people mention specilized filesystems.. i always think to look at the 'fuse' project and its fs's | 18:02 |
| dr_willis | !fuse | 18:02 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 18:02 |
| speedxcore | dr_willis: I will check that out. Thank you | 18:03 |
| dr_willis | fuse is just a handy tool | 18:04 |

| BluesKaj | tried some git versions of apps , but cmake doesn't come with ./configure files anymore so I get "no target" errors when I run "make" .

So, what am I missing or not doing correctly? | 18:11 |
| pepee | Pici, tell me, where are the ubuntu devs? | 18:11 |

| XDS2010 | Why is gnome dead ? | 18:19 |
| dr_willis | Gnome-shell is developing at a nice pace just saw this site today ---> https://extensions.gnome.org/ | 18:19 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: gnome 2 is dead.. thd gnome devs decided to stop supporting it. | 18:19 |
| HQRaja | Yup the extensions look good | 18:19 |
| Myrtti | XDS2010: Gnome2 is, not Gnome. | 18:19 |
| dr_willis | gnome3 is the future. | 18:19 |
| HQRaja | Though you can install them directly from the site only if you are using Firefox | 18:19 |
| lousygarua | i'm running 10.10 on HP dv6000 and i'm having issues with my laptop's fan running too fast. i haven't managed to pinpoint when does that happen but maybe someone can offer me a few commands that will help me debug this. | 18:20 |
| XDS2010 | why is gnome2 dead ? | 18:20 |
| HQRaja | Which sucks for me because I use Chrome | 18:20 |
| oCean | XDS2010: this is not the appropriate channel to discuss that | 18:20 |
| XDS2010 | then why did you say gnome is dead ? | 18:20 |
| dr_willis | HQRaja: havent really noticed.. :) im on an actual ubuntu desktop like 1 days out of the week. | 18:20 |
| auronandace | !gnome2 | XDS2010 | 18:20 |
| ubottu | XDS2010: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 18:20 |
| andycc | XDS2010: let's take this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic, shall we? | 18:20 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: 'gnome 2' is dead.. not 'gnome' | 18:20 |
| HQRaja | !notunity | 18:21 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 18:21 |
| XDS2010 | auronandace: so why doesn't ubuntu pickup support for it ? | 18:21 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: why should they? | 18:21 |
| HQRaja | Heh | 18:21 |
| mneptok | dr_willis: if you cannot keep that gasoline can away from offtopic bonfires, i will take it from you. :P | 18:21 |
| SpiderFriend | hi i am person that really likes using linux, and I want to learn second programming language what would be best choice? I see that many things in linux are in C but people are saying its better to learn C++ or java. what do you think? | 18:21 |
| dr_willis | mneptok: :) | 18:21 |
| andycc | SpiderFriend: what's your first programming language? | 18:21 |
| XDS2010 | dr_willis: why shouldn't they? | 18:21 |
| dr_willis | I will be glad when they remove the gnome fallback and classic stuff... | 18:21 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: lack of manpower.. and if the actual devs are not supporting it... why should they spend the manpower on it. | 18:22 |
| edoceo | I just did an update on Lucid, now my Ruby app (Redmine, from apt) is failing with: Missing the Rails 2.3.11 gem | 18:22 |
| dr_willis | im sure the demise of gnome2 is discussed and flamed and debated in the forums in annoying detail. | 18:22 |
| andycc | XDS2010: because Ubuntu doesn't use or need the GNOME2 stack anymore, it already migrated to Unity on the Gnome 3 stack. | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | mneptok, oh so you are an op ..what's the rule then , it would be good to clarify it here , f it's 30mins , then is a long time to wait for an answer. | 18:23 |
| pepee | HQRaja, do you want to create an AP, or an ad-hoc network connection? | 18:23 |
| mneptok | 11:16 < mneptok> BluesKaj: feel free to discuss this with me in #ubuntu-ops if you feel my request was out of line | 18:23 |
| SpiderFriend | andycc: I forgot, its python | 18:23 |
| RedXIII | Can anyone help me? I restarted my ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop just now, and now the keyboard isn't functioning. The hardware works fine - just ubuntu isn't accepting the keystrokes. | 18:23 |
| XDS2010 | I think its being disengenous saying that one organization can't pickup support for a product that has been dropped for support from another just because there is a newer product out. | 18:23 |
| HQRaja | pepee: AP...that created when we click 'Use as Hotspot' in System Settings > Network > Wireless. | 18:23 |
| XDS2010 | NEW != better | 18:23 |
| HQRaja | that gets* created | 18:23 |
| Pici | XDS2010: You've been asked a few times to take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, this is your last warning. | 18:24 |
| XDS2010 | Just because a product is new from the same doesn't make it necessarily better. | 18:24 |
| auronandace | XDS2010: do you need help with a ubuntu issue? | 18:24 |
| edoceo | *facepalm | 18:24 |
| mneptok | BluesKaj: such a discussion will needlessly clutter a support channel. like dr_willis and XDS2010 are currently doing. | 18:24 |

| auronandace | XDS2010: awesome, what is going wrong? | 18:25 |
| XDS2010 | XP and ubuntu | 18:25 |
| andycc | SpiderFriend: in that case, and if you want to develop for Ubuntu, my suggestion is to try Vala. | 18:25 |
| BluesKaj | mneptok, no ...I've been in your ops chat before and it's not necessary , I'm just looking for a straight answer. What's the rule , or ist arbitrary / | 18:25 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: so whats stopping you? thats a normal way of using ubuntu | 18:25 |
| XDS2010 | I want to do it from my live linux installation. | 18:25 |
| edoceo | Anyone else have Redmine break on the latest Lucid update? How did you resolve the rails/passenger issue? | 18:25 |
| XDS2010 | And not from windows | 18:25 |
| HQRaja | pepee: I know how to enable it actually...I just need to know how to do so from desktop/launcher/command line without having to go to System Settings > Networks > Wireless and clicking "Use as Hotspot". | 18:26 |
| mneptok | BluesKaj: it *is* necessary if you'd like me to answer. | 18:26 |
| SpiderFriend | andycc: ok I look into it | 18:26 |
| XDS2010 | I can't find any information on how to do that. | 18:26 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: a 'live' setup should have the installer icon/program on it. unless you re using some other odd 'live' install method. | 18:26 |
| andycc | SpiderFriend: it's a C#-like language developed by Gnome, it compiles to pure C (so it's fast), and it's the primary language used by the Elementary project. | 18:26 |
| auronandace | BluesKaj: he wants you to discuss that in ops because this channel is for support | 18:26 |
| mneptok | also because the answer is not a one-liner. | 18:26 |
| RedXIII | Anyone help me out here? I randomly can't type in ubuntu 11.10 | 18:27 |
| XDS2010 | dr_willis: it doesn't it sux | 18:27 |
| XDS2010 | sorry thats just the way it is | 18:27 |
| auronandace | RedXIII: you using a wireless keyboard? | 18:28 |
| BluesKaj | mneptok, then don't answer ...I don't see the need to be directed to the ops chat for a simple answer to a question that all ubuntu chat users should know about | 18:28 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: you should be a bit more detailed in what you mean and are doing and how you did a 'live' install. | 18:28 |
| RedXIII | auronandace: No, laptop built in | 18:28 |
| RedXIII | works fine in other environments. | 18:28 |
| myrmidette | d | 18:28 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: ive definatly done live installs to flash drives and installed from them. | 18:28 |
| myrmidette | can anyone recommend a good simple gui email client for linux? gmail support such as priority inbox would be awesome | 18:28 |
| pepee | HQRaja, you want to do it the easy way? if yes, I have no idea then | 18:28 |
| auronandace | RedXIII: as in other desktops? (xfce, kde etc.) | 18:28 |
| RedXIII | auronandace: Grub screen and windows 7 | 18:28 |
| mneptok | myrmidette: so why not use the GMail web interface? | 18:29 |
| FiReSTaRT | An XFCE question.. I have 2 panels on the bottom, one on top of the other. When I maximize windows, they reach the top of the lower panel but the higher bottom panel covers the lower part of the windows. Is there a way to make the windows maximize to the top of the higher bottom panel? (xubuntu and xfce #'s are dead so I'm asking here) | 18:29 |
| auronandace | RedXIII: oh, are you using unity? | 18:29 |
| RedXIII | auronandace: I guess.. Its a fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 | 18:29 |
| myrmidette | mneptok, because I want to use a client :) | 18:29 |
| edoceo | FiReSTaRT: not dead, just not as active. | 18:29 |
| XDS2010 | dr_willis: im running a live slax install right now on /sdb i have windows installed on /sda1 and want ubuntu to be able to dual boot on demand from /sda2 | 18:29 |
| mneptok | myrmidette: claws-mail? | 18:29 |
| HQRaja | pepee: Yes, I want to accomplish the same task but with a shortcut...easy way :) I just need to do it quite frequently (basically upon every restart) and having to dig into the network settings each time is a hassle :( | 18:29 |
| edoceo | One of your panels is set "first", likely the smaller of the two, so it's being chosen as the border | 18:29 |
| XDS2010 | dr_willis: /sda2 is currently formatted with ext2 | 18:30 |
| mneptok | myrmidette: dunno if claws supports all the GMail whizbang, but it's a rock-solid client | 18:30 |
| RedXIII | auronandace: I had been using it fine for the past 2 days. Then my restart this morning caused the keyboard not to function. (It was functioning prior to restart) | 18:30 |
| auronandace | RedXIII: i'd guess its a compiz issue, if you log out and log back in but pick no effects in the session box when you log in | 18:30 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: if you inssist on not using a ubuntu cd or flash drive. you should look into a debootstrap install of ubuntu. easier to just use a cd or flash. | 18:30 |
| XDS2010 | dr_willis: what dont you understand ? | 18:30 |
| FiReSTaRT | edoceo: so if i put it on top of the other panel, it will become the border? | 18:30 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: this is the first time you actually explained what you were doing... and first you metnioned slax.. | 18:31 |
| edoceo | I think you have to re-order the panel, so the larger one is "panel 1" not "panel 2" | 18:31 |
| RedXIII | auronandace: So basically pick "Gnome - No Effects" from "Ubuntu" on the login screen? | 18:31 |
| XDS2010 | dr_willis: no this is the first time you asked me to repeat myself | 18:31 |
| andycc | myrmidette: how about trying Postler? | 18:31 |
| RedXIII | auronandace: Or pick Ubuntu 2d fallback | 18:31 |
| FiReSTaRT | edoceo: correction.. the windows are maximizing all the way to the bottom of the screen.. i just moved the lower panel above the higher panel and in the strip left underneath, i see the lower part of a maximized window | 18:32 |
| auronandace | RedXIII: i'd try no effects, to rule out compiz (i think unity 2d still uses compiz(i might be wrong)) | 18:32 |
| andycc | RedXIII: both should work, as far as I can tell. The Ubuntu 2D fallback uses the Qt version of compiz. | 18:32 |
| asteve | do i need to run console-kit-daemon? | 18:32 |
| andycc | RedXIII: s/compiz/Unity, sorry. | 18:32 |
| RedXIII | The Gnome no effects doesn't work | 18:32 |
| RedXIII | Still no caps-lock lightup or key recognition | 18:32 |
| asteve | it's currently using 266mb on a 600mb system which is causing memory problems | 18:32 |
| Pici | auronandace: it does not use compiz at all. the 2d interface is built with qt in place of the fancy effects. | 18:33 |
| edoceo | FiReSTaRT: out of my realm, sry. I think the panel block-out behaviour is only in play when the panels are fixed to the edge of the screen, when they become part of the border | 18:33 |
| pepee | HQRaja, try looking at the source code of the app that creates the ap | 18:33 |
| auronandace | Pici: oh, awesome, thanks for the info | 18:33 |
| edoceo | Else, panels that are not edge-attached do not become part of the edge | 18:33 |
| RedXIII | auronandace: And Ubuntu 2D doesn't work either. | 18:33 |
| auronandace | RedXIII: ah | 18:34 |
| auronandace | RedXIII: i'm not sure what to suggest sorry | 18:34 |
| pepee | HQRaja, that, or, if it is a simple icon, try searching for it | 18:34 |
| === ShooterM_ is now known as ShooterMG | ||
| RedXIII | =/ I'll check google. thanks anyway | 18:35 |
| RedXIII | well okay.. Keyboard works after I resume from Suspend.. | 18:35 |
| FiReSTaRT | edoceo: any way to attach them to the edge that you know of? | 18:35 |
| edoceo | I generally put only one panel per edge, and they behave as top-level windows | 18:36 |
| edoceo | NAK, not top-level - edges | 18:36 |
| XDS2010 | I don't understand what the big deal is, I have windows installed on one partition and another partition thats blank, I am using a liveUSB OS , i want to install ubuntu and dual boot. Where ITFM ? | 18:36 |
| HQRaja | pepee: The app is basically 'Networks'...the Networks settings panel found in System settings. Regarding the source code, I am not qualified enough to be able to understand that :( | 18:37 |
| Frogging101 | Um... Why am I able to edit the titles, descriptions and status of bugs and answers on Launchpad? | 18:37 |
| XDS2010 | Is there no such thing as a linux based installation ? | 18:37 |
| RedXIII | auronandace: Well.. Keyboard works fine after I woke it from Suspend once. Even though multiple restarts didn't do anything. I don't even... | 18:37 |
| auronandace | XDS2010: i don't understand your problem, can't you boot the livecd and install? | 18:37 |
| DeltaEpsilon | I am in love with ubuntu | 18:37 |
| HQRaja | DeltaEpsilon: Welcome to the club! | 18:37 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: you can use 'debootstrap' to install ubuntu to a drive from within a differnt linux os if you dont want to boot a cd/flash. | 18:37 |
| RedXIII | Oh well. Weird issue seems to have solved itself x_x | 18:38 |
| auronandace | RedXIII: odd | 18:38 |
| pepee | HQRaja, sorry, but I use lxde, not gnome/unity/whatever | 18:38 |
| edoceo | My update says that the "the following have been kept back" - How to force them to install? I need the 'rails' that is being kept back | 18:38 |
| Xase | I have a question bout xorg and touchscreens | 18:38 |
| dr_willis | edoceo: try a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' | 18:38 |
| HQRaja | pepee: Not a problem...thanks for trying to help. It's the thought that counts...really appreciate it =) | 18:38 |
| FiReSTaRT | edoceo: thanks anyway... i'll post on several forums and see what's up :) | 18:38 |

| Phr3d13 | XDS2010: what exactly are you asking? | 18:40 |
| XDS2010 | auronandace: OMFG! i dont want to boot anything , i just want to install ubuntu right from linux | 18:40 |
| Xase | ... | 18:40 |
| pepee | HQRaja, :) | 18:40 |
| auronandace | XDS2010: from what linux? | 18:40 |
| edoceo | gosh, | 18:40 |
| pepee | XDS2010, google "hd-media install ubuntu" | 18:40 |
| XDS2010 | dr_willis: what is debbootstrap ive never heard of that is it new ? | 18:41 |
| edoceo | XDS2010: to install Ubuntu use the Ubuntu CD, not Slax | 18:41 |
| dr_willis | XDS2010: first google hit -> debootstrap is a tool which will install a Debian base system into a subdirectory of another, already installed system. It doesn't require an installation CD, just access to a Debian repository. It can also be installed and run from another operating system, | 18:41 |
| dr_willis | http://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap | 18:41 |
| dr_willis | it can work with ubuntu.. somehow. | 18:41 |
| pepee | easiest and quickest way to install another distro | 18:41 |
| dr_willis | !debootstrap | 18:41 |
| ubottu | debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 18:41 |
| Xase | Ubuntu doesn't see my touch screen, so I'm assuming I need to do some configuring of Xorg | 18:41 |

| edoceo | What was the tool to update rc scripts? chk-config? or ... ? | 18:43 |
| myrmidette | ok, I want to ask again: is there a linux email client with priority inbox support? | 18:43 |
| jordanm | edoceo: update-rc.d | 18:44 |
| edoceo | thx, just found :D | 18:44 |
| dr_willis | update-rc.d -> one of the oddest name programs ive ever seen | 18:45 |
| Phr3d13 | As far as I know if the client has imap support it should work with priority inbox | 18:45 |

| jleclair | oigh. So, my USB hard drive is not detecting; at all. Doesn't show up in /dev or /dev/disk. I unplug it and wait 30 sec, plug it back in, and nothing in dmesg comes out. My mouse is USB, and that works, on the same port. Any ideas? I'm shooting in the dark here | 18:47 |
| jleclair | Ubu 11.10 | 18:47 |

| zacktu | Thunderbird doesn't sync my Google Calendar after it was upgraded to 8.0. It always required a special version of a plugin before. Has that changed? | 18:47 |
| AwkwardPenguin | Okay, I'll give that a try. | 18:47 |
| dr_willis | jleclair: sounds like the HD may be dead.. does it make any noises? spin up? click? | 18:47 |

| HQRaja | saberrr riderrrrrr...and the star sheriffs | 18:53 |
| HQRaja | BTW why cant one 'su' in ubuntu? any idea? | 18:58 |
| ruslan_osmanov | hi. is there a way to downgrade from gedit 3 to gedit 2 using a package manager? | 18:59 |
| soreau | HQRaja: try sudo -i | 18:59 |
| blime | HQRaja: root is disabled, use 'sudo -i' | 18:59 |
| HQRaja | I see...thanks | 18:59 |
| x__ | evil woman... offered you my soul... you ran it over hot coals | 19:01 |
| aeon-ltd | ruslan_osmanov: i doubt it not without accessing some kind of old ppa to do so, there is likely .deb(s) for old versions of gedit for ubuntu anyway | 19:01 |
| oCean | x__: please stop random nonsense | 19:02 |
| w30 | HQRaja, you can set it up by adding user root but you don't want to. Ubuntu is set up safer and uses sudo to gain privileges | 19:02 |
| batlock | ok so now i got gnome3 | 19:02 |
| t_ubuntu | Hi, I'm not sure whether to ask this question here or in #kubuntu, but I'll try here first since there are more people: | 19:02 |
| t_ubuntu | Can I use the command shown on the following website to turn a kubuntu I would install over ubuntu (kubuntu-desktop package) into a "real/pure/clean" kubuntu, that is just as if I had installed it from the Kubuntu CD? | 19:02 |
| t_ubuntu | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | 19:02 |
| batlock | but now cairo dock shows up in the upper left hand side of the screen instead of the bottom edge | 19:02 |
| FloodBot1 | t_ubuntu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:02 |
| w30 | HQRaja, or if you must use sudo -i | 19:02 |
| BMT | How can i uninstall an app via. Terminal? | 19:02 |
| x__ | oCean, yes sir sarge sir! | 19:03 |
| HQRaja | w30: Yup sudo -i or sudo bash (as someone else just told me on another channel) would work just fine...thanks :) | 19:03 |
| soreau | BMT: apt-get remove | 19:03 |
| ruslan_osmanov | aeon-ltd, I had troubles compiling it myself. So I'll find a deb, indeed. Thanks | 19:03 |
| BMT | soreau Thanks :) | 19:04 |
| aeon-ltd | ruslan_osmanov: when compiling it may require old(er) dependencies aswell, so will the deb (most likely anyways) | 19:05 |
| urlin2u | t_ubuntu, to be honest your question is confusing can you give the long version of what you have installed completely? | 19:05 |
| ruslan_osmanov | aeon-ltd, perhaps it won't require dev packages | 19:06 |
| BMT | Is there anyway I can check what apps to download via. terminal using apt-get command? | 19:06 |
| b0ot | How do I get a wallpaper to spread across two monitors? | 19:06 |
| soreau | BMT: If searching for an app, you can try apt-cache search | 19:06 |
| aeon-ltd | b0ot: mkaeshift method: use gimp break it into 2 then set each independently | 19:07 |
| b0ot | aeon-ltd, does that work in ubuntu 10.04? | 19:07 |
| t_ubuntu | I haven't done it yet, but my goal is to switch from ubuntu to kubuntu, and so I found that website giving a command to get rid of ubuntu(-desktop), if you have installed it on an original kubuntu installation. Now I have an original ubuntu installation and want to turn it into a pure kubuntu (as it would be installed from a kubuntu cd) installing kubuntu-desktop and then running that command. But I'm not sure whether it wo | 19:07 |
| aeon-ltd | b0ot: if you can set individual wallpapers per each monitor then yes it would | 19:07 |
| b0ot | aeon-ltd, it doesn't seem to let you | 19:07 |
| batlock | anyone have any idea when i tell cairo-dock to sit on the bottom of the screen, it shows up in the top left side of the screen? | 19:07 |
| b0ot | at least I don't know how to | 19:07 |
| t_ubuntu | Sorry for the complicated description, I hope you understand anyway what I want to do. | 19:07 |

| t_ubuntu | Myrtti: Thanks, I wrote "But I'm not sure whether it would work or destroy the system." | 19:09 |

| ActionParsnip | m0ar_: transmission has cli as well as a web ui | 19:16 |
| auronandace | XDS2010: i'd recommend against wubi, better to simply just dual boot or use a vm | 19:16 |
| soreau | m0ar_: transmission is the default client in ubuntu and works quite well from my experiences | 19:16 |
| BMT | Im learning Linux, windows is too easy lol | 19:16 |
| m0ar_ | okay I will look into transmission | 19:16 |

| auronandace | XDS2010: yes | 19:17 |
| batlock | well, looks like it's a fresh in stall, considering Ubuntu can't go more than 3 months running without breaking something | 19:17 |
| XDS2010 | whats the point of that? , im trying to get away from windows, not disentangent it | 19:17 |
| batlock | maybe i'll switch back to windows | 19:17 |
| auronandace | XDS2010: wubi has no advantages for me so i find it useless to offer it to others | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Gentoo64: powershell makes windows cli awesome | 19:17 |
| Gentoo64 | batlock, because ubuntu is the only distro | 19:18 |
| Gentoo64 | ActionParsnip, yeah its more like linux i suppose | 19:18 |

| batlock | this whole thing started when compiz took a crap | 19:18 |
| soreau | batlock: What has broken? | 19:18 |
| Gentoo64 | XDS2010, i didnt insult | 19:19 |
| soreau | batlock: Is compiz still not working for you? | 19:19 |
| xrandr-win7 | hi. I just uninstalled the provided ubuntu nvidia module, and installed the latest nvidia module from nvidia's site. Now when i boot, i get the ubuntu splash screen and my screen keeps flickering | 19:19 |
| XDS2010 | "[14:17] <Gentoo64> batlock, because ubuntu is the only distro" | 19:19 |
| Gentoo64 | XDS2010, if you dont like ubuntu, that isnt the end of linux | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Wubi is fine but when it breaks its a real pain | 19:19 |
| XDS2010 | Yes but you put it sarcasticly Gentoo64 | 19:19 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah | 19:19 |
| batlock | soreau, well cairo dock won't appear in the correct place on the screen, compiz won't work, i got gnome 3 but the window borders aren't showing right, GL is effed up even though I have the nvidia drivers installed, but wait, they're not in use, but i have composting kinda, | 19:19 |
| OttifantSir | I would like help with a problem: I have used Picasa and when deleting pictures via it, the folder created by the tag isn't deleted. The folder contains only Picasa.ini and the folder Originals with another Picasa.ini. I would like to be able to delete all these empty folders and leave all other folders via a bash-line. Anyone? | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | xrandr-win7: nvidia drivers are in the official repos | 19:20 |
| batlock | and that's all that i can think of off the top of my head | 19:20 |
| soreau | batlock: Either your drivers are working or theyre not. What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer? | 19:20 |
| batlock | OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 9600M GS/PCI/SSE2 | 19:20 |
| sskalnik | xrandr-win7, You'll probably want to use the modules provided by ubuntu | 19:20 |
| batlock | but see. | 19:21 |
| soreau | batlock: Can you pastebin the output of compiz --replace to pastebin.com? Assuming you are in gnome3 fallback mode, not in gnome shell session | 19:21 |
| bekks | nvidia-current works fine with that chipset here. | 19:21 |
| batlock | xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, Not in use) | 19:21 |

| t_ubuntu | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | 19:21 |
| batlock | i will not compiz --replace | 19:21 |
| xrandr-win7 | sskalnik, that's great, but how do i fix this problem? I cant get to a command prompt or anything | 19:21 |
| batlock | that's where crap goes bad | 19:21 |
| soreau | batlock: Can you pastebin your X log then? | 19:22 |
| bekks | batlock: Then enable the nvidia-driver by using nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-settings. | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | m0ar_: there is also transgui which you can run on a remote system to manage torrents. You will need the web ui enabled | 19:22 |
| batlock | bekks, you think i haven't done that? | 19:22 |
| sskalnik | xrandr-win7, are you able to get to one with Alt F1/F2/F3 etc? | 19:22 |
| xrandr-win7 | sskalnik, nope. just stuck at the ubuntu splash screen with the word ubuntu and 5 dots under it | 19:22 |
| soreau | batlock: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to paste.ubuntu.com | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | xrandr-win7: hold shift at boot and select recovery mode then select root | 19:23 |
| xrandr-win7 | ok | 19:23 |
| bekks | batlock: Yes, I know it, since the nvidia-driver isnt enabled. | 19:23 |
| batlock | http://paste.ubuntu.com/761957/ | 19:23 |
| urlin2u | t_ubuntu, generally those commands on psychocats work fine but you can loose things you installed intermitently that are extras. | 19:23 |

| XDS2010 | batlock: perhaps it is your hatred of unity that has you concentrating on the slight discrepencies in the visualization of ubuntu ? | 19:24 |
| oCean | XDS2010: drop the offtopic discussion. You've been told multiple times this channel is for tech support only | 19:24 |
| t_ubuntu | urlin2u: Ok, but as they write configs should not be deleted by the command, so the risk of breaking the entire system and having to reinstall is rather low, isn't it? | 19:24 |
| batlock | bekks, ok lemmie relogin and see what the result is (it will be the same) | 19:24 |
| urlin2u | t_ubuntu, theoretically yes. | 19:25 |
| urlin2u | t_ubuntu, if your real worried clone it with clonezilla first. | 19:25 |
| batlock | bekks, gee, i did all taht | 19:25 |
| batlock | but guess what | 19:25 |
| batlock | xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, Not in use) | 19:25 |
| batlock | still not in use | 19:25 |
| batlock | you failed to realize it's a bug | 19:25 |
| bekks | batlock: Then nopaste your xorg.conf. | 19:26 |
| soreau | batlock: If you login to a ubuntu2D session, compiz should work fine without unity | 19:26 |
| Gentoo64 | batlock, i think thats a cosmetic bug | 19:26 |
| t_ubuntu | urlin2u: ok, thanks, that's what I wanted to know from more knowledgeable users before I try. I'll do a backup of any important files first, that should be enough (I don't know clonezilla). | 19:26 |
| bekks | batlock: If it is a bug - why do I have no problems with a similar setup here? | 19:26 |
| Gentoo64 | batlock, ive heard loads of people getting that message (not in use) when its actually working | 19:26 |
| bekks | batlock: And along with the xorg.conf, nopaste the according Xorg.0.log | 19:26 |

| === MasterOB is now known as PIE-OB | ||
| ViaNocturna | OffGridOps, what he means is that you get 12.04 (Precise) from the live cd/usb | 19:31 |
| bekks | batlock: according to your current Xorg.0.log, nvidia actually _is_ in use. You can try to start nvidia-settings now to verify it. | 19:31 |
| OffGridOps | ah, so they want me to install 12.04? | 19:31 |
| batlock | bekks, this is what i just told you | 19:32 |
| auronandace | OffGridOps: no just use live cd | 19:32 |
| Gentoo64 | OffGridOps, if it contains that kernel, its the easiest way to test it | 19:32 |
| trism | OffGridOps: the kernel he wants you to test is here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.2-rc4-oneiric/ , download the one for your arch and install with: sudo dpkg -i linux-image*.deb; | 19:32 |
| batlock | it's a BUG | 19:32 |
| Gentoo64 | batlock, i told you its a cosmetic bug | 19:32 |
| batlock | which is why i said it's working but its not but it is | 19:32 |

| hidensoft | hi , how i can create L2TP VPN connection ? | 19:32 |
| Gentoo64 | who cares if it works | 19:32 |

| Barbarian | OffGridOps, You can run linux OS just from the cd with nothing installed. Google unetbootin | 19:32 |
| batlock | because jockey is reporting it's not in use, things are broke | 19:33 |
| Gentoo64 | OffGridOps, you dont install a livecd | 19:33 |
| batlock | things that aren't broke in 10.10 | 19:33 |
| trism | OffGridOps: just select the previous kernel from grub (hold shift to get the menu if necessary) and you can easily remove it | 19:33 |
| batlock | i.e. cairo-dock, composting in KDE, etc | 19:33 |
| OffGridOps | i guess you're saying dump that onto a usb stick and they run the OS off the stick? | 19:33 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah | 19:33 |
| batlock | example, if i switch to the kde session, then open a terminal, then resize that terminal, i get a total system lockup | 19:33 |
| Gentoo64 | the kernels still in use | 19:33 |
| ViaNocturna | OffGridOps, a live cd is basically linux on a cd (or usb with unetbootin) it allows you to run ubuntu without installing just from cd/usb | 19:33 |
| batlock | i can't even sysreq REISUB | 19:33 |

| auronandace | OffGridOps: listen to trism's suggestion | 19:35 |
| Gentoo64 | well 3.2rc4 youd prob have to manually install | 19:36 |
| Gentoo64 | unless theres some ppa for it | 19:36 |

| k2iguvahetaja | hey | 19:40 |
| batlock | bekks, let me put it to you this way, if i DON'T use the nvidia drivers and rely on the 'experimental 3D drivers' i can actually use things like compiz, without any issues, but i get issues between logouts and such (the screen breaks severly, screenshots show no problems but the screen is all fractal) then once i pop back to ANY nvidia driver (previous ver, current ver, or straight from nvidia) i can still use composting, but compiz won't do titlebars on th | 19:40 |
| batlock | e windows, i lose all ability to type in any window, etc. | 19:40 |

| auronandace | !notunity | vg | 20:14 |
| ubottu | vg: 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 | 20:14 |

| ubottu | FerchoLP: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 21:16 |
| jrib | FerchoLP: well that's part of the reason, the other is that once an ubuntu version is released, only updates due to security issues (see !sru) are done | 21:16 |
| biggibbig | I was told that terminal was in the applications folder, but I can't find it. I'm sorta new to this. | 21:16 |

| og01 | hi there i'm having a bit of a problem, I have just updated to ubuntu 11.10 on my mediacenter come file storage, I have 5 drives, 1 for boot which is crypted, and 4 in raid 5 (1 spare). after updating after entering the crypt key it boots to the (initramfs) prompt. It also shows one of my disks from the raid array as 'removed' | 21:26 |
| FerchoLP | as Ross said, "I don't understand what just happened here" | 21:27 |
| FerchoLP | haha | 21:27 |
| og01 | Its worth noting that none of the main filesystem is on the raid array - it is purely there for media and other storage. | 21:28 |
| og01 | because the boot drive is encrypted does anyone thing that the upgrade could have got confused - and put the grub install onto the wrong drive or something? | 21:29 |

| Faint | I am having a problem where when I start Apache, it stays up for a minute then turns off. I have the only two lines it gives me in apache's error.log right here: http://pastebin.com/vX201fQ6 | 21:43 |
| Faint | This is my last resort, if I can't get this I don't know what I will do. I can't send to #httpd for some reason, #ubuntu-server isn't any help, I tried forurms and even askubuntu only to get unhelpful responses. | 21:44 |
| og01 | this is ridiculas! | 21:45 |
| og01 | no vi in initramfs? | 21:45 |
| og01 | how can i fix anything? | 21:45 |
| ekinox | hi :) | 21:46 |
| graingert | Faint: how are you starting apache | 21:46 |
| graingert | looks like you kill it some point after you launch it | 21:46 |
| Faint | I type "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" | 21:46 |
| Faint | And it starts | 21:46 |
| Faint | And after a minute, it turns off with that error | 21:46 |
| DEAD|VGA | 'well sir | 21:46 |
| ekinox | Can I have an Highlight please ? :) | 21:46 |
| Faint | Well, it gave me that error in apache's error.log | 21:46 |
| jrib | ekinox: please do that elsewhere :) | 21:46 |
| DEAD|VGA | is anything else running on port 80 on your box? | 21:46 |
| graingert | Faint: try sudo service apache2 restart | 21:46 |
| Faint | No, just Apache | 21:47 |
| jrib | Faint: note you should use the service command not call those scripts directly | 21:47 |

| HQRaja | Guys...I'm using a laptop with a numpad on the right that is supposed to serve as home/end/page-up/page-down too when numlock is off. Now on Windows, it worked fine but on Linux, it works when the shift key isn't pressed but when I need to do shift+home to select text, it registers the home key as the numpad key 7. Is there a way to fix this? | 21:51 |
| og01 | Can anyone tell me how i can findout what the problem is with booting? | 21:52 |
| xrandr | og01: can you be more specific? | 21:52 |
| HQRaja | It behaves the same with the other keys on the numpad when shift is pressed...its as if shift is toggling it between numbers and home/end/pgup/pgdn keys | 21:52 |
| Faint | I think my website is fixed, it's been about a minute and 40 seconds and it's still up | 21:52 |
| batlock | Well you all will be happy to know that my distro upgrade to 11.10 fixed the jockey bug | 21:52 |
| og01 | as no error is shown - I'm just thrown into the initramfs prompt | 21:52 |
| og01 | xrandr: ^ | 21:52 |
| batlock | AND i have composting | 21:52 |
| batlock | AND cairo-dock is STILL broken | 21:52 |
| og01 | xrandr: I just updated my system to 11.10 and now it wont boot | 21:52 |
| xrandr | fun | 21:53 |
| Faint | Thank you all | 21:53 |
| xrandr | og01: have you backed up all your personal files? | 21:53 |
| HQRaja | batlock: Told you, updating to 11.10 will fix a lot of stuff. Though regarding cairo-dock, why don't you give Docky a try? | 21:53 |
| og01 | xrandr: I get past the crypt key page | 21:53 |
| og01 | xrandr: the raid array contains most my useufll stuff and should be recoverable - but no essentaily I want to get to my data | 21:53 |
| batlock | so has anyone ever had this problem? I run cairo-dock -o and it appears in the upper left corner of the screen, even though the config has it set to show up on the bottom edge, I hover over the bottom edge and it appears, up in the top left | 21:54 |
| og01 | it should be fairly recoverable | 21:54 |
| xrandr | og01: how did you upgrade? And have you tried a clean install? | 21:54 |
| og01 | xrandr: I upgraded via the update manager | 21:54 |
| xrandr | ok | 21:54 |
| dkarampin | has graingert left ? :S | 21:54 |
| xrandr | og01: well, you could always do a clean install. | 21:54 |
| batlock | this is after purging the install, reinstalling, uninstalling, force installing, uninstalling, compiling, uninstalling, etc | 21:54 |
| og01 | xrandr: I want to try to recover data before doint a clean install | 21:54 |
| batlock | i've deleted files, i've removed all cairo-dock data | 21:55 |
| batlock | but it still starts with this one error | 21:55 |
| og01 | There is source code - configuration files and tv recordings on the drive | 21:55 |
| xrandr | og01: well, in your raid, did you create a separate partition for /home ? | 21:55 |
| jragon | Hi | 21:55 |
| og01 | xrandr: the raid array isnt part of the main filesystem | 21:55 |
| jragon | Is there a way to block certain applications to the web? Such as spotify? | 21:55 |

| xrandr | batlock: what's your question. I used cairo-dock | 21:56 |
| batlock | so has anyone ever had this problem? I run cairo-dock -o and it appears in the upper left corner of the screen, even though the config has it set to show up on the bottom edge, I hover over the bottom edge and it appears, up in the top left | 21:56 |
| mactrent | jragon, Yes, there is. I'd recommend Gufw to do it for you. | 21:56 |
| og01 | xrandr: the boot drive is crypted | 21:56 |
| xrandr | og01: oy! Im not sure i can help you there | 21:56 |
| batlock | no matter how i set the config for it, cairo-dock still shows up in the upper left corner of the screen | 21:56 |

| og01 | fair enough | 21:58 |
| og01 | i've just found the decrypted partition in /dev/dm-1 | 21:58 |
| dkarampin | graingert: shall I activate the nvidia_173 ? | 21:58 |

| mactrent | jragon, On closer inspection, Gufw doesn't have a preconfigured rule for Spotify, as for Transmission, etc. | 21:59 |

| jragon | Would there be a way to 'create' a rule for spotify? | 21:59 |

| auronandace | og01: i usually fresh install each release (a lot less can go wrong) | 22:15 |
| b0ot | geoffmcc, the weird thing is I can't even view it on the computer hosting the server | 22:15 |
| deej1976 | b0ot: Can you run nmap against your webcam-server and see if the port is open,closed or filtered | 22:16 |

| benbloom | when partitioning for a new install is it better to put the swap first in the partition table or the / first. also, does it cause any performance lag to have both swap and / on the same logical partition? | 22:28 |
| udonthavetoknow | w | 22:28 |
| auronandace | benbloom: you mean use a swapfile instead of a swap partition? | 22:28 |
| benbloom | no auronandace I mean to make a logical partition containing both swap and / within | 22:29 |
| auronandace | benbloom: you can't really do that, swap is a different filesystem | 22:29 |
| bastidrazor | batlock: alt + left click and drag it | 22:31 |
| bastidrazor | batlock: there is also a #cairo-dock channel that will be able to give all the answers | 22:31 |
| benbloom | sorry. i meant extended not logica | 22:32 |
| batlock | yea i'm in there | 22:32 |
| batlock | alt+left click does nothing | 22:32 |
| HQRaja | A different logical partition in the same extended partition, you meant? | 22:32 |
| auronandace | benbloom: oh, yeah you can have an extended partition with a logical swap and / | 22:32 |
| benbloom | yes HQRaja | 22:32 |
| benbloom | but does it effect performance? | 22:32 |
| auronandace | benbloom: not that i'm aware of | 22:33 |
| benbloom | also, does physical location of partitions on the disk effect performance? | 22:33 |
| auronandace | benbloom: no | 22:33 |

| firewalker22 | I tried to install samba, and while the shares could be seen, it ask for a username and password instead of allowing simple guest access | 22:47 |

| MrCleanWithHair | try #samba | 22:52 |
| wad | firewalker22, I'd head over to #samba and ask them. Samba is what you want. :) | 22:52 |

| Behi | graingert I am not even running Bu* | 23:16 |
| graingert | erebel55: otherwise try the alterantive installer | 23:16 |
| graingert | Behi: what do you run | 23:17 |
| kobro | graingert: no it doesnt work for my sd card and it takes houres to run this tool on 1 tb but i am trying atm | 23:17 |
| erebel55 | graingert: I didn't check the disk for errors...and what is the alternative installer? | 23:17 |
| Behi | graingert tsql -S MyServerIP -p port -U user -P pass | 23:17 |
| graingert | erebel55: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download | 23:17 |
| erebel55 | graingert: thank you | 23:18 |
| graingert | Behi: sounds like a bug in tsql | 23:18 |
| graingert | kobro: make sure you're not writing to the drive | 23:20 |
| graingert | kobro: I'd recommend calling the pro's | 23:20 |
| erebel55 | I'm really just trying to install a clean version of windows 7...but when I tried the windows install it also stopped at the beginning, so I was just trying to install ubuntu, and then overwrite ubuntu with windows 7 | 23:20 |
| kobro | graingert: i would call them but i have no money | 23:20 |
| abtexas130 | Hi all | 23:21 |
| conntrack | little bugger | 23:21 |
| graingert | kobro: ask for a quote, your friends might want to chip in | 23:21 |
| RDMonkey | sorry to interrupt but i would like to install Ubuntu along side my Windows 7 Lenovo laptop, but im not sure how | 23:21 |
| ArveT | erebel55: tried wubi? | 23:21 |
| graingert | !language | conntrack | 23:21 |
| ubottu | conntrack: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 23:21 |
| kobro | graingert: a part of the data was on a sd card but the card was used again | 23:21 |
| graingert | ouch | 23:22 |
| graingert | kobro: if that happened it's probably gone, you can recover from an HDD, SSD is almost impossible | 23:22 |
| ArveT | RDMonkey try wubi | 23:22 |
| erebel55 | ArveT: well the reason I want to do a clean install of windows 7, is that my current one will not boot, it is very virused | 23:22 |
| RDMonkey | Excuse me? | 23:23 |
| graingert | RDMonkey: have you got the CD burnt? | 23:23 |
| ArveT | I did the same thing have a lenovo and the work great together | 23:23 |
| RDMonkey | I'm using a USB | 23:23 |
| graingert | RDMonkey: have you got the LIVE usb running? | 23:23 |
| klemax | Hello. | 23:23 |
| klemax | How to find out which device has my USB modem? I mean like /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/usb/SH1 etc.. | 23:23 |
| RDMonkey | yes | 23:23 |
| ArveT | RDMonkey do u have windows already running? | 23:23 |
| RDMonkey | im using Ubuntu now | 23:23 |
| grkblood | how do i get my integrated laptop webcam to work with ubuntu? all options in cheese are inactive which im presuming means its not registering a webcam | 23:23 |
| graingert | RDMonkey: double click the install icon | 23:23 |
| graingert | and you should get a "side by side" option | 23:23 |
| graingert | in the installer | 23:23 |
| RDMonkey | i don't | 23:24 |
| erebel55 | any ideas on my prob? | 23:24 |
| graingert | make sure to backup your windows, RDMonkey | 23:24 |
| graingert | RDMonkey: well it will take a few steps | 23:24 |
| ArveT | erebel55 sorry misunderstood, my situation was that I have win7 running and installed ubuntu through wubi | 23:24 |
| RDMonkey | no i mean | 23:24 |
| RDMonkey | I tried installing already, and i got an error when it was resizing the partition, | 23:24 |
| graingert | RDMonkey: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1312973605.png | 23:24 |
| graingert | RDMonkey: oh I see, what was the error? | 23:24 |
| RDMonkey | and i went back and it revoked the option to install side by side | 23:25 |
| graingert | RDMonkey: try resizing the partition in Windows | 23:25 |
| [IFOC]75 | actually, RD... wasn't it the other way around? | 23:25 |
| RDMonkey | I'm not sure how | 23:25 |
| [IFOC]75 | you had an error in alongside | 23:25 |
| RDMonkey | Yes | 23:25 |
| graingert | RDMonkey: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/ | 23:25 |
| RDMonkey | I use windows 7 but k :P | 23:25 |
| graingert | RDMonkey: then you can install to the free space | 23:25 |
| graingert | "Resize a Partition for Free in Windows 7 or Vista" | 23:26 |
| graingert | "install to largest free space" | 23:26 |
| graingert | I think | 23:26 |
| MSK | how to contribute an application to ubuntu? | 23:27 |
| mediat0r | hi. I have a SysV init script. Is the approriate place for that script /etc/init.d/? | 23:28 |
| frogonwheels | mediat0r: yep. | 23:30 |
| illio | The internal webcam in my laptop is apparently unavailable as a resource on startup.. is there some way to check which software is blocking it and release their lock on the resource? | 23:30 |
| mediat0r | thanks frogonwheels | 23:30 |
| escott | illio, do you have a way to make the webcam work? | 23:31 |
| frogonwheels | mediat0r: you'll then need to get it activated for a run-level. I forget how that's done in ubuntu | 23:31 |
| matin | hello | 23:31 |
| matin | hi Flannel | 23:31 |
| illio | escott, normally it would work fine in any normal tool like cheese. However it suddenly stopped working today, so I'm guessing it's something I've installed. | 23:31 |
| illio | escott, I found out it was busy using guvcview | 23:32 |
| frogonwheels | mediat0r: update-rc.d looks promising - probably parses something in the init script | 23:32 |
| escott | illio, so when you run guvcview it tells you "device or resource busy"? | 23:33 |
| escott | illio, you can run lsof on the device file | 23:33 |
| illio | escott, it tells me Resource temporarily unavailable | 23:33 |
| mediat0r | frogonwheels: yeah that's exactly the command I thought. update-rc.d <script name> defaults or something like that | 23:33 |
| illio | escott, yeah - no output from lsof | 23:33 |
| frogonwheels | mediat0r: better off putting it in the script itself.. man insserv looks like the place for the format | 23:34 |
| === mglidden_ is now known as mglidden | ||
| mediat0r | frogonwheels: thanks. | 23:34 |
| === cristiano is now known as Guest91278 | ||
| escott | illio, its unlikely something has the device open, but it might have been put in a weird power state that it cant get out of. have you done a cold reboot? | 23:35 |
| Guest91278 | teste | 23:35 |
| === Guest91278 is now known as ApogeU | ||
| illio | escott, as in shut down and start again? Then no, just a normal reboot.. Maybe I should try that | 23:36 |
| escott | illio, i would give it a try | 23:36 |
| illio | escott, okay I'll try.. thanks | 23:36 |
| ApogeU | teste | 23:36 |
| thornhillstaff | how do I block facebook on any given computer? | 23:37 |
| stepnjump | what is a good iso packer on ubuntu? | 23:37 |
| Steak | hey, I'm trying to install memtest86 to a USB key, and in the instructions, it says "use the base device the device is assigned to" | 23:38 |
| Steak | I put a USB stick in, that says "OCZ Diesel", which is obviously not the base device, how can I determine the base? | 23:38 |
| escott | thornhillstaff, what is your goal in blocking? you dont like facebook and dont want your traffic to go to them, or you are trying to stop someone else? | 23:38 |
| thornhillstaff | escott: I want to prevent anyone using this computer from going to facebook. | 23:39 |
| rhelmer | thornhillstaff: could make an entry in /etc/hosts for facebook.com pointing to the local IP (or whatever IP you want) | 23:40 |
| escott | thornhillstaff, thats substantially harder. you would have to use some kind of ip filtering, but facebook has a *lot* of ips. the /etc/hosts wont prevent someone from typing the ip address into the url bar | 23:40 |
| rhelmer | true | 23:40 |
| frogonwheels | thornhillstaff: that kind of thing can be done with a transparent web proxy | 23:41 |
| thornhillstaff | iptables? | 23:41 |
| matin | hey | 23:41 |
| toddnine | Any ideas why google chrome doesn't appear in the list of browsers to make my default browser? | 23:41 |
| matin | can someone help me with an ftp problem? | 23:41 |
| toddnine | matin: I can try, what's up/ | 23:41 |
| escott | thornhillstaff, you could do it with iptables. the more important thing is how much effort you want to put into this vs how much effort you expect your adversary to put into circumventing | 23:41 |
| matin | toddnine, i had my FTP server working | 23:42 |
| matin | for the past few days | 23:42 |
| matin | but last night, i set up svn | 23:42 |
| digikwondo | wondo> hello. been using ubuntu for some time now and i love it! although today i encounted a strange issue. i dont get any sound from my built in line out (its a "studio" laptop) i booted from a ubuntu live cd and then i get sound. im clueless ;) | 23:42 |
| matin | so I'm not sure if that affected it, however now whenever i try to upload something, i get an error in FileZilla, 553 | 23:42 |
| escott | thornhillstaff, the way big companies do this is to force all http, https traffic through a proxy, and then subscribe to a service that provides filter lists | 23:43 |
| thornhillstaff | escott: will this script worK? how do I implement it? http://kdn2.info/2010/11/block-facebook-com-with-iptables/ | 23:43 |
| toddnine | matin: http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10142.aspx | 23:43 |
| frogonwheels | thornhillstaff: Assuming the ip ranges are correct, you just need to get that run from your firewall software | 23:44 |
| toddnine | thornhillstaff: You might, but I doubt it'll get you much. FB used geo-dns, and they're constantly adding/removing load balancer IP's. You'd be in a game of cat and mouse | 23:44 |
| escott | thornhillstaff, *if* that is a complete list of facebook ip addresses then i think that would work | 23:44 |
| toddnine | as escott says, you really need a proxy that checks the target domain name | 23:44 |
| frogonwheels | thornhillstaff: oh - this is would be done on the FIREWALL only. | 23:45 |
| matin | alright thanks toddnine | 23:45 |
| toddnine | no worries mate | 23:45 |
| frogonwheels | thornhillstaff: http://www.ex-parrot.com/pete/upside-down-ternet.html | 23:45 |
| frogonwheels | thornhillstaff: the fun that can be had with squid :) | 23:45 |
| escott | digikwondo, probably an issue with pin output on intel hda sound. lsmod | grep hda if that outputs snd_hda_intel then you have intel hda sound | 23:47 |
| roy57 | /whois roy57 | 23:50 |
| matin | hey toddnine | 23:51 |
| matin | I'm having more trouble :P | 23:51 |
| escott | digikwondo, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA | 23:51 |
| toddnine | sure, what's up? | 23:51 |
| matin | toddnine, ok so i uploaded once, and now i can't even delete anything | 23:51 |
| matin | i think it's a permissions problem | 23:51 |
| toddnine | martin: Sounds like a permissions problem | 23:51 |
| matin | but I'm new to linux and i have no idea what I'm doing :P | 23:51 |
| escott | digikwondo, these things sometimes get cleared up over a period of time, but you can help it along by figuring out what the correct pin output for your device is and forwarding it to a developer | 23:52 |
| toddnine | yeah, do you absolutely have to use ftp, or can you use something like ssh/scp/sftp? | 23:52 |
| worstadmin | Can I have two hosts mount the same iscsi lun? | 23:52 |
| worstadmin | And simultaneously use it as well? They dont seem to sync changes between each other | 23:52 |
| toddnine | For my 2 cents, using sftp (which is ssh based) is much more secure, more robust, and a hell of a lot easier to use than ftp | 23:52 |
| Mars11_ | Okay, I have this flash drive that shows up as two separate drives when inserted. It's not one of Sandisk's U3 drives. | 23:53 |
| Mars11_ | I was wondering if anyone knew how to combine the two? | 23:53 |
| escott | worstadmin, as long as they arent hitting the same part of the disk it should be ok, but you have to be careful that your virtual hosts arent trying to access the same partition directly | 23:53 |
| skegeek | Can I get some advice for optimizing my system for performance as a VirtualBox Guest? I've given the system 512MB RAM, 64MB Video/Graphics memory. It is the latest version of Ubuntu with Gnome. | 23:53 |
| digikwondo | escott: omg i cant belive it was so simple! , some time during today i managed to hit "m" in alsamixer. everything was just muted! i cant belive i switched my harddrive for this! | 23:54 |
| Ahmuck | !dvd | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 23:54 |
| worstadmin | escott, So if I want more than one host to access the same logical volume - do I make a different lun pointing at the the same lv for them? | 23:54 |
| Ahmuck | !libdvdcss | 23:54 |
| escott | digikwondo, well thats good | 23:54 |
| matin | toddnine, it's a home server | 23:54 |
| matin | and i have no idea how to set up … anything :D | 23:54 |
| matin | so i guess i'll just stick with ftp | 23:55 |
| toddnine | matin: In that case I'd learn how to set up ssh | 23:55 |
| matin | i have ssh set up | 23:55 |
| toddnine | It's more secure, and that's what you'll want to use to transfer data anyway | 23:55 |
| toddnine | ok, then in that case you can use sftp | 23:55 |
| digikwondo | escott: thanks for the help! guys like you is the reason i switched from ms 3 years ago :) | 23:55 |
| matin | ah cool beans | 23:55 |
| matin | toddnine, how do i do that | 23:55 |
| toddnine | just get a client that supports sftp, and use the sftp protocol on port 22 | 23:55 |
| toddnine | use the same username and password for ssh, and you'll be done | 23:55 |
| escott | worstadmin, thats a bit beyond me, but as long as its different partitions they arent sending conflicting writes that could mess up the filesystem | 23:55 |
| matin | oh sweet | 23:56 |
| Mars11_ | Oh, and one of the drives is read-only. | 23:56 |
| worstadmin | Hm, So I guess iscsi isn't really made for file sharing so to speak and instead just issuing out disk space | 23:56 |
| worstadmin | That makes sense | 23:56 |
| matin | ok | 23:56 |
| matin | it says permission denied | 23:56 |
| escott | worstadmin, im sorry i thought you were talking about virtualizing access to a raw disk on a vm. i dont know anything about isci | 23:57 |
| worstadmin | oh :( | 23:58 |
| escott | worstadmin, http://www.snsforums.com/index.php?showtopic=397 | 23:58 |
