| blabface | could even be an issue with my router (this is over wireless) | 00:48 |
| mbeierl | blabface: dnsmasq will still forward its requests to your office VPN. what you want is a concept called split tunnel. your cicso vpn may be configured by IT policy to disallow split tunnel\ | 00:48 |
| blabface | I found the wireless network 'dies' when I watch youtube while 'running' the vpn | 00:48 |
| maum | I got [[Trying modes for CRT 345. CRT345 trying mode 3840x1080@50 Hz with output at 1920x1080@50Hz(pass 0)]] do you know any idea about this? | 00:48 |
| mbeierl | blabface: I currently use the vpnc cicso client and am able to do a split tunnel. which vpn software are you using | 00:49 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: i have seen that weird occurrence. can you share your bonding configuration? | 00:49 |
| blabface | mbeierl: oh, I thought I could use dnsmasq to send certain packets (such as internet) to a differnt 'interface' instead of sending everything to the tun | 00:49 |
| mbeierl | blabface: no. that won't do it, sorry. | 00:49 |
| blabface | the one in the repo (not the cisco one) | 00:50 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: The bond no longer even exists, I did a reinstall | 00:50 |
| blabface | oic | 00:50 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: is udev running? | 00:50 |
| mbeierl | blabface: that is vpnc. did you use the Network Manager GUI to configure it? | 00:50 |
| blabface | I have no idea about network stuff tbh, and I don't work there any more | 00:50 |
| mbeierl | blabface: oh . ok. right. this is a leftover. | 00:50 |
| blabface | mbeierl: no, I couldn't get network manager to work, so I used the pcf2conf and run it on the cli | 00:50 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: I had check that 70 persistent rules file and none of my HWaddresses were in there other than one | 00:50 |

| neersighted | So if i wanted to install another disro, do i just resize my partition, let it install it's version of grub, then apend it's grub code to my current grub menu? | 00:52 |
| neersighted | *distro | 00:52 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: yes this seems to be the case where you just need to go ahead and give udev the proper rules for each interface.. for instance check the startup messages from when each nic boots.. and see the mac it is given,, than cross compare with ifconfig once boot up is done,, than hard code the udev rules for the macs | 00:52 |
| jtruant | depends on what you mean as well x999 | 00:52 |
| SolarisBoy | and you should be good | 00:52 |

| bradhe | how does one go about installing a specific version of a package with apt? for instance, I want to install nginx 1.1.4 (specifically 1.1.4) | 00:54 |
| pp7_ | bradhe: download the deb | 00:55 |
| bradhe | pp7_: will it overwrite the already-installed package (originally installed with apt)? | 00:55 |
| ks07 | Parted is complaining that "The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance." How can I find out what values to use to properly align it? | 00:55 |
| mbeierl | bradhe: it can be done through the package manager, where you can lock the version you want. gimme a sec | 00:55 |
| pp7_ | bradhe: should do | 00:55 |
| pp7_ | bradhe: u might have to uninstall first | 00:56 |
| bradhe | gotcha, thx | 00:56 |

| SolarisBoy | /etc/rc.local | 00:56 |
| mbeierl | bradhe: in the "Synaptic Package Manager" app, you can specify the version you want, and then lock that version in to prevent it from being upgraded | 00:56 |
| SolarisBoy | where it belongs atleast.. | 00:56 |
| bradhe | mbeierl: I'm on a server, no synaptic here :( | 00:57 |

| neersighted | When it installs, if you click the hyper links, it opens firefox | 01:01 |
| neersighted | You can navigate to something like file:///bin/sh | 01:01 |

| mbeierl | Num83rGuy: k, just checking. As MS Windows is sometimes a tricky thing to get sharing in the open. Which is why I think it's good to verify with a second install before assuming it's a sudden samba failure. it might save time, or it might not... | 01:11 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: It sets 2 of the 4 at their own mac's and then the other two are identical | 01:15 |
| mbeierl | Num83rGuy: sorry... I hope that did not sound dismissive. I'm not that good at samba, so I don't know further troubleshooting. | 01:16 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: is that in dmesg? and is that what you see in ifconfig regardless of the devices being named eth*_rename? | 01:16 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: Yes. It's incorrect as well. | 01:17 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: is it the same? | 01:17 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: Yes | 01:17 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: Pretty muched I'm fucked | 01:17 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: do you have the initial mac addresses of the interfaces? | 01:17 |
| mattheas | When I try to reinstall at least two of them go to _rename | 01:18 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: lol, no | 01:18 |
| agentgasmask | Hi guys. How can I go into runlevel 1, and after done doing stuff, how do I get back to the default? | 01:18 |

| mattheas | SolarisBoy: I'm not seeing anything on it. However, I can change the macs using # ifconfig ethX hw ether YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY | 01:21 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: then rename them using 70-persistent-rules? | 01:21 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: are you going to use a fake mac for the interface with the duplicate which you do not know the proper mac name for? | 01:21 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: if so yes you can try that | 01:21 |
| mattheas | yes | 01:22 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: have you tried breaking the bond and bringing the interfaces up individually? | 01:22 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: since I reinstalled the bond shouldn't be active anymore, correct? | 01:22 |
| josePhoenix | Hello all | 01:22 |
| SolarisBoy | ohh ok my bad you did a reinstall.. | 01:22 |
| josePhoenix | I'm getting issues with apport 1.23-0ubuntu4. | 01:22 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: Yeah, that bond no longer exists | 01:22 |
| josePhoenix | Some pre-start script exits with status 1 after installing | 01:23 |
| SolarisBoy | are you sure the driver is properly installed? | 01:23 |
| SolarisBoy | mattheas: i was under the impression you were already bonded | 01:23 |
| josePhoenix | Anyone know why this could be? It's behaving a lot like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/767498 , but obviously with a different package. | 01:23 |

| SolarisBoy | mattheas: does it use some special driver? like one thats not available in the standard kernel? | 01:23 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: Negative, I don't even know that a bond will work with identical macs | 01:24 |
| SolarisBoy | you dont specify macs technically in a bond | 01:24 |
| SMJ | noth: that's more useful | 01:24 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: True, we could try rebonding and seeing if 802.3ad will work | 01:24 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: r8168-8, not special at all | 01:24 |
| SMJ | piping to 'grep /' is more readable though | 01:24 |
| norton | Hello newbie here , I love ubuntu but have an nfs issue not sure if this the correct forum to post a question ?? | 01:25 |
| SolarisBoy | the bond wont work if its reading identical macs though... | 01:25 |

| SolarisBoy | mattheas: try it | 01:26 |
| mattheas | SolarisBoy: scratch that, 3 of my ports are using the same mac now. this is trash. | 01:26 |

But if this is a large system the best thing to do is do a test upgrade in a virtual box before a major upgrade | 01:44 |

| brightspark | hatch, try setting the alsamixer controls to just above the minimum and see if that helps. The main adjustment only works correctly if the different channels in alsamixer are set properly. | 02:30 |

| MahaVishnu | superlou, i'd install firefox to isolate it being a browser problem somehow just as one thing to try. | 02:54 |
| superlou | Seems general instability. It'll play about 30 seconds of a video than crash. Sometimes it won't. On large flash based sites, it might work for a while and then give up | 02:54 |
| superlou | MahaVishnu, i've tried using firefox too, same issue :) | 02:54 |
| Mitchell_ | superlou, i dont need to compile it, i just need it to compile a driver | 02:54 |
| superlou | Mitchell_, i believe that page links to the git repo with the source | 02:54 |
| MahaVishnu | superlou, yea idk sounds like a bug in the flash plugin code somewhere which I hear is pretty common..... especially on linux I hear flash is on it's way out but thats beside the matter at hand. | 02:54 |
| superlou | MahaVishnu, I'd be a fan if it got itself the heck out, but for now we're kinda stuck with it. Especially sites like sharedtalk.com which are a full page in nothing but flash. | 02:55 |
| aruncn1 | brightspark: http://paste.ubuntu.com/763389/ | 02:55 |

| ejv | hello, I restored my home dir from a backup, and now I get a "Could not chdir to home directory Permission denied" error when trying to login as my user. /etc/passwd /etc/group and the directory/subdirs all appear to have the right permissions. when trying to create a brand new user (using useradd), the same thing happens. ideas? | 03:00 |
| gelf | sidney sudo shutdown -r now | 03:01 |
| zykotick9 | ejv, you UID # must match the old user name. "ls -ld /home/olddir" do you see numbers instead of username? or the wrong username? | 03:01 |
| aruncn1 | brightspark, thx for the response | 03:01 |
| ejv | zykotick9: ls -ln reports the same UID's as /etc/passwd | 03:02 |
| ejv | 1000 1000 | 03:03 |
| norton | Maha: I thought it was a pretty simple process according to all the posts on the boards but I just cant seem to get it work. all i want to do is transer photos and spool print jobs from my client laptop to the server. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot? | 03:03 |
| ejv | 1000 1000 is consistent with /etc/passwd | 03:03 |
| zykotick9 | ejv, you didn't answer my question - so someone else can help you. Good luck. | 03:03 |
| MahaVishnu | norton, if you want to spool print jobs you need to use samba. anyway not nfs. | 03:04 |
| ejv | ihmm | 03:04 |
| brainiac_ | resistance: i thank you. done. | 03:04 |
| ejv | ah ld, ld shows user user | 03:04 |
| ejv | not UIDs | 03:04 |
| brightspark | I'm on Maverick Meerkat- icons in the notification area use the wrong theme. Is there a way to force the battery, network icons to use my current theme? | 03:04 |
| ejv | when trying to create a new user, via useradd, the same thing happens | 03:04 |
| ejv | i would assume that the default permissions would be in place | 03:05 |
| ejv | and that chowning wouldn't be necessary using the useradd tool; i've certainly never seen this before | 03:05 |
| ejv | zykotick9: *poke* | 03:05 |
| zykotick9 | ejv, someone else can help you. good luck. | 03:06 |
| ejv | so you don't know either... wonderful lol | 03:06 |
| xangua | brightspark: tried to reset unity¿ | 03:07 |
| xangua | unity --reset | 03:07 |
| ejv | ok let me repeat my question with all available information; im unable to login to my home dir as a normal user, I recieve "Could not chdir to home directory Permission denied". /etc/passwd reports my UID's as 1000. /etc/group reports my UID as 1000. ls -ln reports the home dir UID as 1000:1000. ls -ld reports the home dir as user:user. Using `useradd` on a brand new username, also fails with the same error. Suggestions welcome! | 03:08 |
| norton | maha: I tried samba and it always asked me for a password and workgroup when I was on the client so it never worked. | 03:09 |
| brightspark | xangua, I am on Maverick, not Natty or Oneiric. This problem persists across reboots, so I'm skeptical that resetting anything would be the answer. | 03:09 |
| brightspark | (Maverick uses the gnome-panels rather than the Unity launcher. | 03:10 |
| xangua | !panels | 03:10 |
| xangua | try to reset the panel then brightspark | 03:10 |
| ubottu | To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 03:10 |
| canurabus | is anyone here familiar with libudev? I'm trying to figure out how to get a list of all external storage devices (usb keys, usb hds, sd cards, etc), but having a lot of trouble. How do I know which devices listed by something like udevadm correspond to the device types I want to look out for? | 03:12 |
| brightspark | xangua, thanks. That did not fix the icons; it just moved the things on the panel back to their default locations. | 03:12 |
| sajuukkhar | hey guys I have the i915 driver running on my graphics card, how do i switch to the intel one? | 03:13 |
| xangua | sajuukkhar: intel uses open drivers ;) | 03:13 |
| zykotick9 | sajuukkhar, i915 sounds like intel driver actually... | 03:14 |
| sajuukkhar | xangua, its not a very good one then | 03:14 |
| zykotick9 | sajuukkhar, yup i915 is what my intel netbook is using as a driver - so that is the open source intel driver | 03:15 |
| sgo11 | in gnome3, how to disable the icon display for the activated program in the top bar? that icon is kinda ugly, only partial icon is always shown. thanks. | 03:16 |
| zykotick9 | sajuukkhar, that hans_reiser automatic PM is super annoying. Good luck. | 03:16 |
| brightspark | I'm on Maverick Meerkat- icons in the notification area use the wrong theme. Is there a way to force the battery, network icons to use my current theme? | 03:16 |
| sajuukkhar | zykotick9, xangua, so what is a better driver for the Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller | 03:16 |
| sgo11 | hans_reiser, hello | 03:17 |
| sajuukkhar | im missing resolutions for this screen and the 40" 1080p screen | 03:17 |
| zykotick9 | sajuukkharrrr (avoiding your nic hopefully), nope, that's what you get. | 03:17 |
| zykotick9 | :( didn't work | 03:17 |
| ejv | Hello, I'm unable to login to my home dir as a normal user, I recieve "Could not chdir to home directory Permission denied". /etc/passwd reports my UID's as 1000. /etc/group reports my UID as 1000. ls -ln reports the home dir UID as 1000:1000. ls -ld reports the home dir as user:user. Using `useradd` on a brand new username, also fails with the same error. Suggestions welcome! Thx. | 03:17 |
| sajuukkhar | zykotick9, so i just go back to 10.10 then? | 03:18 |
| === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat | ||

| sajuukkhar | alright then, how do i go about forcing a resolution without xorg then? | 03:21 |
| zykotick9 | sajuukkhar, sorry i thought you where responsible for the hans_reiser stuff. So what's your issue with the intel driver exactly? It doesn't support HD output? I'm suprised it ever did? | 03:21 |
| sajuukkhar | zykotick9, i got it to work somehow | 03:21 |
| sajuukkhar | zykotick9, in 10.10 but I updated to 11.10 and now nothing works so far :( | 03:22 |
| === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat | ||
| * jrib sends funkyHat to ##fix_your_connection -_- | 03:22 | |
| zykotick9 | sajuukkhar, well, you can't really downgrade (except reinstall). Regression issues are common in Ubuntu, and upgrading almost always leads to "issues". Good luck, hope you find a real solution. | 03:23 |
| alFReD-NSH | anyone know a good replacement for banshee? it is buggy and doesn't scrobb to last.fm! | 03:26 |
| MahaVishnu | where does network-manager keep its config on the interfaces ? | 03:26 |
| brightspark | sajuukkhar, I feel silly for asking this, but did you explore your options in System>Preferences>Monitors (or whatever the equivalent is in your release)? | 03:26 |
| xangua | alFReD-NSH: rhythmbox | 03:26 |
| xangua | it also will be default on pangolin....again :P | 03:27 |
| zykotick9 | MahaVishnu, in some internal database somewhere - not in a text file i've ever heard of, that's for sure. | 03:27 |
| sajuukkhar | brightspark, as in system settings monitors which has resolutions? | 03:27 |
| MahaVishnu | zykotick9, I switched to fluxbox, and I just realized I see nothing for network manager anymore. how do I view the gui of it, what command ? | 03:27 |
| === aeon-ltd_ is now known as aeon-ltd | ||
| zykotick9 | MahaVishnu, nm-applet | 03:28 |
| === funkyHat1 is now known as funkyHat | ||
| alFReD-NSH | pangolin is the next version? when it will b e released? | 03:28 |
| brightspark | sajuukkhar, probably? I decided against moving to Natty due to Unity's interface, so I'm not quite sure, but it sounds reasonable. | 03:28 |
| MahaVishnu | zykotick9, ok thanks, also.. what is the benefit of this network-manager. should I just use /etc/network/interfaces to atleast be able to use ifup and ifdown and have it all in plain text ? | 03:29 |
| brightspark | sajuukkhar, are you able to set it to the desired HD resolution using that dialog? | 03:29 |
| sajuukkhar | brightspark, nope | 03:29 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, whats ur problem ??? | 03:29 |
| zykotick9 | MahaVishnu, if you use wireless, i'd go N-M. If you use static or DHCP then interfaces is probably better. | 03:29 |
| sajuukkhar | brightspark, it seems to the think the laptop screen is a 16:10 screen and it can't identify the TV at all as a 1080p and i had it working in 1080p a few days ago | 03:29 |
| brightspark | sajuukkhar, sorry. Just didn't want to overlook something obvious. | 03:30 |
| MahaVishnu | zykotick9, yea I use static. I think ill set up a interfaces file, is the package name for network-manager nm-applet ? | 03:30 |
| jtreminio | Hi all. I just pressed something and these big circles with arrows in them showed up in the corners and sides of my active window - I'm assuming to resize it. How do I do this again :\ | 03:30 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, my Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller doesn't work in 11.10. I had it working a dual monitor setup of 1280x1024 and 1920x1080, it can only do 1280x800(laptop) and 1024x768 on the second screen | 03:31 |
| zykotick9 | MahaVishnu, no - probably network-manager-* stuff. try "dpkg -l | grep network-manager" to see what's currently installed. | 03:31 |
| j4d50n | clear | 03:31 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, even worse is that I can't remember how i got it to workin 10.10 | 03:31 |
| michaeljwjr | has anyone here downloaded Vuze? Mine keeps crashing. | 03:32 |
| SolarisBoy | michaeljwjr: it stopped working for me a few versions back i abandoned it | 03:33 |
| brightspark | I'm on Maverick Meerkat- icons in the notification area use the wrong theme. Is there a way to force the battery and network icons to use my current theme? | 03:33 |
| michaeljwjr | What's a good a torrent to use then? | 03:34 |
| michaeljwjr | easy to use one. | 03:34 |
| SolarisBoy | transmission | 03:34 |
| michaeljwjr | Like one I can do a search in and then just download from within it. | 03:34 |
| barby | hi to all | 03:34 |
| SolarisBoy | i dunno about that =) | 03:34 |
| SolarisBoy | rtorrent and transmission are nice light clients if you already have the link,, i haven't found a comparison for vuze built in search feature yet,, thats why i did like it when it worked | 03:35 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:35 |
| barby | I need to add another path into the variable $PATH permanently | 03:35 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, I have no xorg.conf | 03:35 |
| OerHeks | michaeljwjr, try opera, google & buildin torrentclient | 03:36 |
| SolarisBoy | barby: you can append it in one of your .files | 03:36 |
| barby | mmmm | 03:36 |
| SolarisBoy | like .bashrc or .bash_profile if you want it globally you can put it /etc/profile | 03:36 |
| barby | ok | 03:36 |
| michaeljwjr | oerheks, Buildin Torrentclients? | 03:36 |
| zykotick9 | barby, see ~/.profile for just your user (~/.bashrc would also work) | 03:37 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, pastebin xrandr -q | 03:37 |
| OerHeks | michaeljwjr, no, just 1 client | 03:37 |
| mazda01 | how to get gnome-screensaver to permanently stop locking screen upon display blanking? | 03:37 |
| michaeljwjr | ok so what's the name of the client I have to download that works with google? | 03:37 |
| michaeljwjr | Or just use google to look for what I want? | 03:38 |
| barby | i need it for root | 03:38 |
| mazda01 | i got into gnome-screensaver -prefs and uncheck the option yet the screen still locks | 03:38 |
| SolarisBoy | you can put in the respecitve users home.. roots would be /.profile than i guess =) | 03:38 |
| barby | my .bashrc | 03:38 |
| barby | call "cat /etc/debian_chroot" | 03:38 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, http://pastebin.com/Fe35Drf3 | 03:38 |
| ejv | woot solved it | 03:38 |
| barby | but this file is empty | 03:38 |
| zykotick9 | mazda01, gnome2 - open screensaver settings and remove check from lock screen. Unity/Gnome3 open "screen" options and flick the lock switch. | 03:38 |
| SolarisBoy | barby: ? | 03:38 |
| zykotick9 | barby, see ~/.profile for just your user | 03:39 |
| ejv | jrib: i won't be pastebin, solved the error | 03:39 |
| mazda01 | zykotick9, i already unchecked option in gnome2 | 03:39 |
| ejv | thx anyways | 03:39 |
| barby | .profile calls ~/.bashrc | 03:39 |
| zykotick9 | mazda01, is this a livecd or something? | 03:40 |
| Anon7 | Any suggestions for installing LILO on an old PC from the liveCD CLI? | 03:40 |
| brightspark | mazda01, check in configuration editor. /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock might need to be unchecked | 03:40 |
| barby | .bashrc calls /etc/debian_chroot, and it's empty | 03:40 |
| mazda01 | brightspark, that was it. THANKS | 03:40 |
| barby | I can not understand where is set :( | 03:41 |
| brightspark | mazda01, not a problem. | 03:41 |
| d1360 | hi | 03:41 |
| mazda01 | brightspark, zykotick9 cause I had gnome-screensaver set to only blank the screen and within the gnome-power lock, it had blank_screen check marked | 03:41 |
| SolarisBoy | barby: your looking to append so simply PATH=$PATH:/new/path is sufficient... i dont think it matters where its initially defined no? | 03:42 |
| mazda01 | basically making a blank screen auto lock despite telling gnome-screensaver NOT to lock it | 03:42 |
| mazda01 | it was driving me nuts cause when I try to x11vnc --usepw into my machine for some reason shift key isn't handled correctly so password to unlock screen never worked. | 03:43 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest83428 | ||
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, can I make a new resolution using xrandr? | 03:43 |
| mazda01 | guess, that should be my next question, should x11vnc --usepw tunneled thru a ssh tunnel be accepting shift key presses as "shift"? | 03:44 |

| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, my LVDS1 can only do 1280x1024 (i think its a 15.4") | 03:52 |
| Everene | Looking for some help on how to set up ubuntu/grub on RAID0 | 03:52 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, well you want 1080p for the vga1 you said? | 03:53 |
| milamber | chamunks: if you need help come back - give us details on the problem and most likely someone here can help you through it | 03:53 |
| chamunks | Sid0035, But my server is currently only in pre public release but if you would like to come visit its at. mynickname.com as the ip. | 03:53 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, yep so i changed it to xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 | 03:53 |
| Sid0035 | hum i may have to join ur server Chamunks if i can get it to work on ubuntu ;) | 03:53 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, however 'cannot find mode 1920x1080' | 03:53 |
| chamunks | milamber, I appreciate that I come here when im reallly reallly stuck which doesnt happen very often. | 03:54 |
| fonsi | Hi I might have screwed my sources list, can anyone help me? | 03:54 |
| Everene | Can anyone help me with ubuntu on RAID | 03:54 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, and VGA1 is what a 1080p tv ? does xrandr -q show the new mode we added ? | 03:54 |
| chamunks | Sid0035, well by all means please stop by :) as long as you can get java working minecraft has a working linux version which should suffice. there is plenty of documentation on how to make it go. | 03:54 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, it is a 1080p tv :) i will check | 03:55 |
| fonsi | hello | 03:55 |
| Everene | hi | 03:55 |
| Everene | lol | 03:55 |
| Anon7 | Hi fonsi | 03:55 |
| fonsi | hey | 03:55 |
| === helicomatic|afk is now known as helicomatic | ||
| fonsi | can you guys help me I screwed up my sources list and can´t edit it | 03:56 |
| Anon7 | Why can't you edit it? | 03:56 |
| Anon7 | Can you be more specific? | 03:56 |
| fonsi | Idk, it won let me save it | 03:56 |
| Anon7 | well tha's because you're doing it wrong | 03:56 |
| Anon7 | which text editor are you using? | 03:56 |
| Anon7 | vim? vi? gedit? nano? emacs? | 03:56 |
| fonsi | I tried doing this gksu gedit +60 /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:56 |
| Anon7 | leafpad? | 03:56 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, http://pastebin.com/QGphLFkX the xrandr -q | 03:56 |
| Anon7 | weong | 03:56 |
| Anon7 | wrong | 03:57 |
| fonsi | but it doesn´t work | 03:57 |
| Everene | Nano.... is what you should use | 03:57 |
| FloodBot1 | Anon7: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:57 |
| Anon7 | fonsi, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:57 |
| SolarisBoy | why should you use nano? | 03:57 |
| Anon7 | ^do it like that | 03:57 |
| Anon7 | then it should work | 03:57 |
| Anon7 | SolarisBoy, you shouldn't. However, some people prefer it. | 03:57 |
| fonsi | it says command not found | 03:57 |
| Anon7 | okay | 03:57 |
| Anon7 | cd /etc/ | 03:57 |
| fonsi | cd into the apt file? | 03:58 |
| theoneguy | did you type it correctly? | 03:58 |
| Anon7 | no | 03:58 |
| brightspark | Anon7, it is generally preferred to use gksudo rather than sudo with graphical applications like gedit. | 03:58 |
| Anon7 | brightspark, there's no reason to use gksu | 03:58 |
| fonsi | I copied and pasted it... | 03:58 |
| theoneguy | it works just fine either way... | 03:58 |
| SolarisBoy | heh | 03:58 |
| Anon7 | the fact of the matter is, you shouldn't use sudo at all. | 03:58 |
| zykotick9 | !gksu | Anon7 | 03:58 |
| ubottu | Anon7: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 03:58 |
| Anon7 | the fact of the matter is, you shouldn't use sudo at all. | 03:58 |
| fonsi | yeah... | 03:58 |
| theoneguy | interesting... | 03:58 |
| Anon7 | you should su into root | 03:58 |
| fonsi | I was trying to put in a new source that it wouldn let me | 03:58 |
| nhocht | thu dam | 03:59 |
| Everene | mk | 03:59 |
| fonsi | So, how shall I proceed next? | 03:59 |
| Sid0035 | kool i should revisit the site then and get the stuff i need for linux @chamunks | 03:59 |
| Everene | well i need help with installing ubuntu | 03:59 |
| Anon7 | fonsi, drop down into root | 03:59 |
| theoneguy | why not just use the source editor ubuntu comes with? | 03:59 |
| Anon7 | by doing the su command | 03:59 |
| fonsi | ok | 03:59 |
| Anon7 | then open the file | 03:59 |
| theoneguy | what version of ubuntu are you using? | 03:59 |
| nhocht | ##window | 03:59 |
| Everene | i have a pretty odd problem | 03:59 |
| Anon7 | cd /etc/apt/ | 03:59 |
| nhocht | ##windows | 03:59 |
| Everene | newest one | 03:59 |
| Anon7 | then gedit sources.list | 03:59 |
| SolarisBoy | it really doesn't matter which editor you use... | 03:59 |
| fonsi | it says gedit is not installed | 04:00 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080 | 04:00 |
| Anon7 | well maybe it isn;t | 04:00 |
| fonsi | but I can isntalled it with a broken sources list, right? | 04:00 |
| Anon7 | no | 04:00 |
| fonsi | *can | 04:00 |
| Anon7 | do this | 04:00 |
| Anon7 | do vi sources.list | 04:00 |
| Anon7 | if vi isn't installed, then I cry for you. | 04:00 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, I made an Xorg.conf in /etc/X11 also that still can't find mode '1920x1080' | 04:00 |
| theoneguy | *silent lols* | 04:00 |
| zykotick9 | fonsi, LOL - you being misled... | 04:00 |
| SolarisBoy | a posix compliant system should have vim | 04:00 |
| SolarisBoy | i mean vi.. | 04:01 |
| fonsi | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do' | 04:01 |
| Anon7 | No? Why not? | 04:01 |
| Everene | I'm trying to install ubuntu... but i have a RAID0 Setup and i think that is preventing grub from being able to install correctly as my boot | 04:01 |
| Anon7 | fonsi, what exactly are you typing in? | 04:01 |
| theoneguy | dont type the "dp" | 04:01 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, and that --newmode command I had you do, it worked fine ? cause the mode isn't showing up for some reason... | 04:01 |
| theoneguy | "do" | 04:01 |
| theoneguy | * | 04:01 |
| Anon7 | LOLOLOL | 04:01 |
| Anon7 | oh my god | 04:01 |
| RyuGuns | Where are the repositories stored in ubuntu? | 04:01 |
| fonsi | lol\ | 04:01 |
| Anon7 | yeah | 04:01 |
| Anon7 | just type 'vi sources.list' | 04:01 |
| Anon7 | then use vi to edit it | 04:01 |
| Anon7 | or vim | 04:02 |
| Anon7 | there's gotta be some text editor installd | 04:02 |
| SolarisBoy | RyuGuns: if you are referring the repo configuration it is in /etc/apt/sources.list and sources.list.d | 04:02 |
| fonsi | there we go | 04:02 |
| fonsi | it opened | 04:02 |
| Anon7 | okay | 04:02 |
| fonsi | I know the error is in line 60\ | 04:02 |
| Anon7 | now use the keys | 04:02 |
| SolarisBoy | dude vi is installed by default.... | 04:02 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, oh it failed | 04:02 |
| Anon7 | to find the rror | 04:02 |
| brightspark | Anon7, that's a lot easier said than done if you haven't used vim before. | 04:02 |
| fonsi | should i just deleted line 60? | 04:02 |
| Anon7 | then fix it | 04:02 |
| FloodBot1 | Anon7: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:02 |
| zykotick9 | Anon7, why on earth would you suggest to someone who uses gedit to use VI? You're being very unhelpful to the poster. fonsi | 04:02 |
| SolarisBoy | indeed... | 04:02 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) | 04:02 |
| sajuukkhar | Major opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR) | 04:02 |
| sajuukkhar | Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode) | 04:02 |
| Anon7 | because vi is a simple text editor | 04:02 |
| milamber | fonsi: before you do anything else can you describe your problem in detail? | 04:03 |
| SolarisBoy | why not just have him open it in gedit? | 04:03 |
| SolarisBoy | whats wrong with that? | 04:03 |
| fonsi | yes | 04:03 |
| zykotick9 | Anon7, NO - nano is a simple text editor. vi is a powerful text editor. | 04:03 |
| Anon7 | SolarisBoy, gedit isn't installed he said | 04:03 |
| milamber | fonsi: did you try and edit that file to install new sources? | 04:03 |
| SolarisBoy | they told him to use gksudo to open a graphical editor | 04:03 |
| fonsi | when I tryto update I get error message, when i try to sudo apt-get install same thing | 04:03 |
| SolarisBoy | oh | 04:03 |
| SolarisBoy | well install it | 04:03 |
| fonsi | yes I did | 04:03 |
| Anon7 | he can't with a broken mirror file | 04:03 |
| milamber | fonsi: ok, we need to see the error messages you are getting | 04:03 |

| SolarisBoy | its about helping regardless the level of user | 04:04 |
| zykotick9 | Anon7, you must be new to ubuntu aren't you? hehe | 04:04 |
| MahaVishnu | xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync && xrandr --addmode DVI-1 "1920x1080_60.00" | 04:04 |
| Everene | Urm.... i need sum help.... meow? | 04:04 |
| Anon7 | zykotick9, I left ubuntu to go to arch because I couldn't stand the bloat anymore. | 04:04 |
| Anon7 | zykotick9, I used Ubuntu for a long time before I got sick of canonical | 04:04 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, change that to VGA-1 | 04:04 |
| Anon7 | Everene, what do you need help with | 04:04 |
| zykotick9 | Anon7, well ubuntu != arch that's for sure | 04:04 |
| fonsi | E:Malformed line 60 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) | 04:05 |
| Anon7 | zykotick9, I found that the best way for me to learn in Ubuntu was to figure things out for myself. | 04:05 |
| fonsi | that´s it | 04:05 |
| SolarisBoy | fonsi: so comment that line | 04:05 |
| kimp | Installed Ubuntu 11.10 alongside Win 7 and have not been able to load either OS since. Have tried to reinstall GRUB. Windows recovery can find no problems. REALLY stuck now... | 04:05 |
| milamber | Anon7: 1.) we don't tell people to use root. 2.) vi is not new-user friendly, shift : q! is not intuitive 3.) you hadn't even determined the exact error before you had him editing a pretty important file | 04:05 |
| SolarisBoy | put a # in front of it | 04:05 |
| zykotick9 | Anon7, me to - but that's hardly the ubuntu-way ;) | 04:05 |
| SolarisBoy | fonsi: and run apt-get update | 04:05 |
| Anon7 | milamber, he told me what the problem was. | 04:05 |
| === Y is now known as Guest11066 | ||
| Everene | I Tried to install Ubuntu, the newest update and grub wont work for me, i think it is because of my RAID setup.... | 04:05 |
| SolarisBoy | fonsi: which editor will you use? | 04:05 |
| fonsi | I used the only one that worked | 04:06 |
| fonsi | the one that anon told me | 04:06 |
| SolarisBoy | fonsi: cool ok so vi | 04:06 |
| Butters | Anon7: That's funny. I found the best way to learn in Ubuntu was to stick my penis in your mother. | 04:06 |
| Anon7 | milamber, it's better to use root than it is to use sudo. vi is a great text editor, it's one of the first ones I used. as a toddler. He told me he had messed up adding a source and needed to edit the file. I had ALL the informatuion. | 04:06 |
| zykotick9 | !noroot | Anon7 | 04:07 |
| ubottu | Anon7: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 04:07 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, so xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1920x1080? Doesn't work getting can't find output "VGA-1" | 04:07 |
| SolarisBoy | fonsi: so to get to line 60 in vi easily you can type 'vi filename +60' where filename is the name of the file you need to open | 04:07 |
| kimp | Anyone? | 04:07 |
| Anon7 | That's sad. Using sudo is basically forcing a system vulnerability. | 04:07 |
| Butters | I know how to use sudo | 04:07 |
| SolarisBoy | why is it better to use su than sudo? | 04:07 |
| Butters | sudo penis in Anon7's mother | 04:07 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, sry VGA1 | 04:07 |
| SolarisBoy | what breaks when you use sudo vi <filename> ? | 04:08 |
| zykotick9 | Anon7, i don't personally disagree with you. But in #ubuntu don't mention root. | 04:08 |
| Anon7 | SolarisBoy, because if you use sudo, and someone gains access to your machine and knows your password, they automatically have root access | 04:08 |
| pangolin | Anon7: same applies for root | 04:08 |
| SolarisBoy | thats not true it depends on what you allow for them | 04:08 |
| pangolin | Please just respect our rules. | 04:08 |
| SolarisBoy | if you dont allow the su command thats not true | 04:08 |
| Anon7 | pangolin, not if you have a different root password | 04:08 |
| Anon7 | But I won't help epople anymore | 04:08 |
| pangolin | fine | 04:08 |
| SolarisBoy | well dont give incorrect info either... | 04:08 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, now it cna't find mode 1920x1080 | 04:09 |
| kimp | Anyone? Anyone? | 04:09 |
| Anon7 | SolarisBoy, what was wrong abotu what I said? | 04:09 |
| Anon7 | kimp, please repeat your question | 04:09 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, im at a loss. that --newmode command is supposed to add it. | 04:09 |
| Anon7 | this is a fast-moving channel and it's hard to keep up | 04:09 |
| SolarisBoy | well ONE of them is that if you have sudo you IMPLIED that means you have access to the su command when if you look at the sudo file or different setups of the sudo file you can see how easily prevented that is | 04:10 |
| kimp | Anon7, I installed ubuntu alongside win 7 and can not boot into either now. Tried reinstalling GRUB. Just get to GRUB rescue... | 04:10 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, what does xrandr | grep maximum show you | 04:10 |
| Everene | So I tried to install Ubuntu everything went swell until grub tried to install, I think it is my RAID setup preventing | 04:10 |
| SolarisBoy | sudo == priviledge escalation so any other of your statements is expected other than that | 04:10 |
| Everene | kimp, do you have a RAID setup? | 04:10 |
| SolarisBoy | but thats just one thing. | 04:10 |
| kimp | Everene, no raid | 04:10 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, I like this :) 8192x8192 | 04:11 |

| nhocht | no | 04:12 |
| SolarisBoy | nhocht: or run mkfs on the dev file | 04:12 |
| kimp | Everene, when I tried to reinstall GRUB, it got stuck saying something about 'Reinstalling GRUB...' How about you? | 04:12 |
| Everene | Mine just cant find my harddrives | 04:12 |
| zykotick9 | kimp, Everene when you installed Ubuntu did you start the install from inside windows, or did you boot from the livecd? | 04:13 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, I am not sure why it is not working...... | 04:13 |
| Everene | kimp, I booted from the livecd | 04:13 |
| kimp | zykotick9, live CD for me | 04:13 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, lets start over then ? I have a max res of 8.1kx8.1k | 04:13 |

| YX | nhocht, fom disc utility | 04:17 |
| sajuukkhar | alright | 04:17 |
| MahaVishnu | Guest61105, edit /etc/default/grub and add the line GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1920x1080 | 04:18 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, it doesn't work, apparently it doesn't exist | 04:18 |
| MahaVishnu | then do a sudo update-grub2 | 04:18 |
| MahaVishnu | Guest61105, actually I guess they changed it. #GRUB_GFXMODE=1360x768 change to ur resolution and uncomment it. | 04:19 |
| KFP | Is it possible to remove the file/directory "emblems" that I set in 10.10 and older versions? The emblems interface has been removed in 11.10, but the old emblems still remain. | 04:19 |

| bluegoon | MahaVishnu, apart from its tme service, what other services would use WAN traffic if Ubuntu is idling? | 04:32 |
| milamber | Ethek: did you manually add that source? | 04:32 |
| zHammeRz | auto updates | 04:32 |
| Everene | Does anyone here have experience installing Ubuntu on RAID??? | 04:32 |
| Ethek | yes | 04:32 |
| bluegoon | zHammeRz, are Auto Updates off by default? | 04:32 |
| Ethek | its the only one erroring | 04:32 |
| MahaVishnu | bluegoon, dunno | 04:32 |
| eigba | Everene, What seems to be the problem with your raid install? | 04:32 |
| milamber | Ethek: ok, something is not working with that. do you know how to comment it out? | 04:32 |
| Ethek | yes | 04:33 |
| bluegoon | Are Auto Updates off by default in Ubuntu 11.10? | 04:33 |
| Everene | grub doesnt seem to find out that i have a harddrive | 04:33 |
| Ethek | ill do that | 04:33 |
| zHammeRz | I don't think so, mine weren't. | 04:33 |
| eigba | Everene, Software or hardware raid | 04:33 |
| SolarisBoy | i dont think so either | 04:33 |
| Everene | eigba, Hardware | 04:33 |
| Everene | i think | 04:33 |
| bluegoon | zHammeRz, thanks, will check it out | 04:33 |
| eigba | Everene, what raid controller and raid level | 04:34 |
| SolarisBoy | bluegoon: you can check netstat -pone also.. to see what has outbound connections to inet ip's that you can't confirm | 04:34 |
| Everene | RAID 0 and ...... | 04:34 |
| eigba | Everene, So grub at least loads? | 04:35 |
| milamber | Ethek: ok, report back | 04:35 |
| KFP | Is it possible to remove the file/directory "emblems" that I set in 10.10 and older versions? The emblems interface has been removed in 11.10, but the old emblems that I set in previous versions still remain. | 04:35 |
| bluegoon | SolarisBoy, thanks dude | 04:35 |
| Everene | eigba, It will let me fully install ubuntu but grub FREAKS out when i boot up it goes strait to grub rescue | 04:35 |
| Everene | i have to choose to reboot without a bootloader in the Ubuntu Setup | 04:36 |
| eigba | eigba, It sounds like it's freaking about not finding a partition | 04:36 |
| Everene | Yes | 04:36 |
| dr3mro | please I need to know something .. does ubuntu sync packages with debian stable ?? when they are released ?? or just keep the unstable snapshot it had and wait for the next sync with next ubuntu release ?? | 04:37 |
| heterogenerate | who | 04:37 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, hey I restarted my computer and the Xorg took effect, nothing happened to change resolutions that i could do | 04:37 |
| eigba | Everene, I have only done an install on raid 1 (hardware) | 04:37 |
| eigba | Everene, I used to do them daily in the data center, and never once had a problem on ubuntu or centos | 04:38 |
| Everene | eigba, It should be the same.... did you have to do anything out of the ordinany | 04:38 |
| eigba | Everene, No just went into the raid card firmware and setup the raid, maybe you can try to go back into the raid firmware and delete the arrar and re set itup | 04:38 |
| eigba | Everene, then reinstall | 04:38 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, I really am not sure what the problem is we should have corrected it. and VGA1 is really an HDMI output to a 1080 device then it should work.. | 04:39 |
| slugzzz | Hey all, I am having issues with 11.10 logging me out whenever I play a youtube video... any ideas? | 04:39 |
| Everene | eigba, PM | 04:39 |
| eigba | Everene, okay | 04:39 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, hmm yeah I remember getting something to work with 10.10 | 04:40 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, can you send that pastebin of the Xorg file again? | 04:40 |
| dr3mro | KFP, gvfs-set-attribute "$FILENAME" -t unset metadata::emblems | 04:41 |
| chiques_ | Has anyone tried to install Asus Web Storage (CLOUD) for Ubuntu 9.10 on Ubuntu 11.10? | 04:41 |
| chiques_ | . | 04:42 |
| eigba | Anyone have suggestion for my sound issue? Sound comes trough internal speakers, and headphones when they are plugged in. Asus k50ij laptop with intel sound card. I had same issue on fedora, and followed all howtos/suggestions on the forums. Now having same problem on Ubuntu 11.10. I have been on the forums and it seems others have had same problem | 04:42 |
| Ethek | milamber : I commented the source out and it has corrected my issue. Not something that Ive seen happen before despite seeing 404 errors | 04:43 |
| Ethek | thanks! | 04:43 |
| milamber | Ethek: no problem. if you need assistance with getting that (or any) ppa working feel free to stop back in | 04:44 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, in your xrandr -q I see the 1920_1080 in the list. but the xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920_1080_60.0 doesn't work? | 04:45 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, ooh we didn't try that | 04:46 |
| sajuukkhar | hang on | 04:46 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, nah that doesn'twork | 04:46 |
| johnnyzero | If a bug pretty much only affects one or two people is it safe to say that it won't get fixed? | 04:46 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, wow. it really should idk then man. | 04:47 |
| slugzzz | Has anyone else experienced a bug causing Ubuntu to log out when they try to play flash... like youtube? | 04:47 |
| will_ | Hi. I'm running 11.10. "vi" says it's vim, but there is no "vim" command. That seems a bit odd...? | 04:48 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, perhaps we should start over? | 04:48 |
| will_ | I thought vi was generally symlinked to vim | 04:48 |
| Anon7 | will_, they're two different programs | 04:48 |
| Anon7 | perhaps vim isn't installed | 04:49 |
| johnnyzero | https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898245 , https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/898253, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 these are the bugs that nobody is really responding to. I guess I'll have to wait for 12.04. I posted these bugs last month. One of them on November 5th. | 04:49 |
| bluegoon | Is a Celeron 2.8 Ghz a bit light in the pants for Ubuntu 11.10? | 04:49 |

| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, you can repost the question but at this point I dont know the answer. | 04:49 |
| Anon7 | Anyone know where I can find the default oneiric sources list | 04:49 |
| somsip | will_: isn't vim_tiny installed by defaul in ubuntu? (or named something like that) | 04:49 |
| will_ | somsip: ah! ok. | 04:49 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, like we go through the process again, maybe i stuffed up somewhere? | 04:50 |
| tenX_ | will_: thought it came as an additional package easy to install via apt | 04:50 |
| johnnyzero | Is there any way to maybe compile Alsa from Source and fix the problem myself seeing as how nobody cares to work on it? | 04:50 |
| bluegoon | guys, quick question, is a Celeron 2.8Ghz too light for Ubuntu 11.10? | 04:50 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, pastebin your xrandr -q again and the result when doing that command I just said. | 04:50 |
| c_smith | will_, vim is vi IMproved, so vim is essentially vi, but extended, and Ubuntu comes with it installed by default. | 04:50 |
| will_ | c_smith: Yeah, I knew that, but usually "vim" is a valid command still. When I run vi, it says it's vim, but when I run "vim", it says I need to install it | 04:51 |
| tenX_ | johnnyzero: guess the cpu to be one of the least relevant parts | 04:51 |
| c_smith | will_, I wouldn't worry too much about it, vim actually is more feature rich, and honestly, if it defaults to vim, there probably isn't a problem. | 04:52 |
| OerHeks | johnnyzero, i see responces to your last bug report, it has something to do with Playstation Eye Camera. | 04:52 |
| ecotrump | I've lost the transparency options for my xubuntu panels and screenlets. Does anyone have any ideas for what might have happened? It happened just after I logged into a xfce session and then tried to get a xubuntu session running again. | 04:52 |
| will_ | c_smith: Well, I'm having some "issues" that I'm trying to resolve. I normally run on CentOS servers, so trying to find out why the same things don't work | 04:53 |
| c_smith | will_, you could try "which vim" in terminal if you really want to see if it's installed. | 04:53 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, http://pastebin.com/wz5EQXTd in that order | 04:53 |
| will_ | c_smith: It's vim.tiny, that's installed, not "vim"... whatever that is :) | 04:53 |
| johnnyzero | OerHeks, specifically with Ubuntu 11.10. There were no issues in 11.04 and 10.10. | 04:54 |
| c_smith | will_, oh? then did you try running it with vim:tiny? | 04:54 |
| will_ | c_smith: That's what vi runs, vim-tiny | 04:54 |
| tenX_ | c_smith: think i remember vim to be installed explictely on earlier ubuntu versions | 04:54 |
| tenX_ | c_smith: what is vim tiny anyhow | 04:54 |
| johnnyzero | Though I am assuming that since 12.04 is an LTS release they are probably maybe trying to iron out all the bugs they can and package it into Pangolin. | 04:54 |
| lsv | is there any way to pass a string to a bash function then print each character in the string individually? | 04:55 |
| will_ | Yeah, installing the vim package "fixed" everything. Thanks all! | 04:55 |
| c_smith | tenX_, that's in old versions, since a certain release (before I started using Ubuntu) vim was included by default,) and vim:tiny I'm guessing is a lighter weight version of vim. | 04:55 |
| OerHeks | johnnyzero, best thing to do is join #Ubuntu+1 the place to be for pangolin | 04:56 |
| johnnyzero | Hmm good idea OerHeks. Maybe I can ensure that by April my devices will work again and the bugs will be ironed out. Thanks :) | 04:56 |
| tenX_ | c_smith: thank you for that short info. remembered to install it on many servers earlier | 04:56 |
| johnnyzero | Currently, I'm using Ocelot | 04:57 |
| c_smith | tenX_, no prob | 04:57 |
| ecotrump | I've lost the transparency options for my xubuntu panels and screenlets. Does anyone have any ideas for what might have happened? It happened just after I logged into a xfce session and then tried to get a xubuntu session running again. | 04:57 |
| tenX_ | c_smith: wasnt sure about more up to date versions | 04:57 |
| dr3mro | please I need to know something .. does ubuntu sync packages with debian stable ?? when they are released ?? or just keep the unstable snapshot it had and wait for the next sync with next ubuntu release ?? | 04:58 |
| c_smith | tenX_, well, now you know | 04:58 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, since you rebooted I think you need to do. cvt 1920 1080 then edit. xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync [[WITH YOUR INFO FROM CVT]] then do the xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080_60.00 then xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080_60.0 | 04:58 |
| AndrewX192 | Does anyone know if it i spossible to use two AMD graphics cards on an Ubuntu system? | 04:58 |

| tenX_ | c_smith: need to get more outta this, increasing productivity level | 04:59 |
| milamber | dr3mro: this is more of a tech support, someone in ubuntu+1 may have a better answer for you | 04:59 |
| bluegoon | What is XCFE or LXDE? | 04:59 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, 'edit.' edit what? | 04:59 |
| milamber | bluegoon: they are different desktop environments | 04:59 |
| KFP | dr3mro: Ooh, it seems to work! :) Thankee. | 04:59 |
| bluegoon | milamber, Thank you | 05:00 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, the --newmode command make sure those numbers match yours ( I think those were your numbers ) | 05:00 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, okay :) | 05:00 |
| milamber | bluegoon: you can download them and run them with your regular ubuntu if you wish | 05:00 |
| bluegoon | milamber, Cool, thank you, think ill try that. | 05:01 |
| ecotrump | Anyone know if is it the gnome shell that allows for control panel transparency settings? | 05:01 |
| Everene_ | Does anyone have experience with Ubuntu on RAID? | 05:02 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, hey it worked kinda :) | 05:03 |
| sajuukkhar | i got an error on the last command | 05:04 |
| sajuukkhar | so i manually changed it in the system settings > screen resolution (it showed up) and now the screen is a little to the left | 05:04 |
| slugzzz_ | Okay.. now that's 4 times I've been randomly logged off. :-( | 05:06 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, what screen is to the left ? | 05:06 |
| slugzzz_ | .... if I don't click on anything or touch anything, maybe Ubuntu won't log me off... | 05:07 |
| skraito | hey guys is there any md5 sum for ubuntu at ubuntu official site | 05:07 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, the VGA, tv | 05:07 |
| MahaVishnu | slugzzz_, flash problem you said ? | 05:07 |
| slugzzz_ | Not sure... | 05:07 |
| sgo11 | hi, how to uncompress/compress .pak files? (chrome theme) | 05:07 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, is it 1920x1080 now ? | 05:07 |
| slugzzz_ | It logs me off when I try to view youtube videos pretty religiously. | 05:07 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, I figure its because the LVDS isn't set either so im gonna follow what you said (yes its 1080p now just the screen cuts off at the left side) | 05:07 |
| Everene_ | Guys, What doe Chrooting mean? | 05:08 |
| MahaVishnu | slugzzz, lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 05:08 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, weird. it should be fine.. | 05:08 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, oh what is the name of LVDS1? Is that right? | 05:08 |
| MahaVishnu | sajuukkhar, yea. I think so check xrandr -q | 05:09 |
| slugzzz_ | MahaVishnu, http://www.pasteall.org/27162 | 05:10 |
| sigurg | Everene_, chroot changes the root directory | 05:10 |
| Everene_ | sigurg, Thank you very much | 05:11 |
| MahaVishnu | slugzzz_, hrm. is it a really old computer or something ? | 05:11 |
| slugzzz_ | No, it's a year old alienware | 05:12 |
| oooaaaooo | hi guys am running ubuntu 11.04 and was wondering if there was a fast way to change ip addresses within a static environment? | 05:12 |
| MahaVishnu | oooaaaooo, you can use /etc/network/interface file. | 05:12 |
| slugzzz | No, it's a year old alienware. | 05:13 |
| oooaaaooo | say i need to change from 192.168.0.27 to .26 within a press of a button, how would i do that | 05:13 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, now im getting that same error again im gonna restart | 05:13 |
| oooaaaooo | sorry | 05:13 |
| oooaaaooo | didnt see the answer | 05:13 |
| MahaVishnu | slugzzz, but you are running a 32bit kernel ? | 05:13 |
| slugzzz | I should be running 64 bit, I take it. | 05:14 |
| MahaVishnu | slugzzz, I'd think so if it was a 1 year old alienware ...... what processor is in it? | 05:14 |
| slugzzz | i7 | 05:14 |
| MahaVishnu | slugzzz, why would you run an i7 on 32bit kernel ? | 05:15 |
| slugzzz | Because it was what was on the CD that I had burned. :p | 05:15 |
| slugzzz | That's probably the problem, eh? | 05:15 |
| MahaVishnu | slugzzz, yea upgrade to 64bit ;-P | 05:15 |
| geoffmcc | slugzzz: its probably something in the pae kernel as i use 3.0.0-13-generic with no problems | 05:15 |
| MahaVishnu | yeah bra. | 05:15 |
| geoffmcc | slugzzz: but i am x86_64 | 05:15 |
| slugzzz | Is there anyway that I can upgrade to 64bit without reinstalling? | 05:16 |
| Everene_ | Anyone willing to help meh? | 05:16 |
| MahaVishnu | I also run that kernel on 64 with 0 problems | 05:16 |
| MahaVishnu | flash related that is. | 05:16 |
| heterogenerate | anyone know how to run ./configure from a usb key to nuke a windows ntfs drive for reinstall? | 05:16 |
| oooaaaooo | MahaVishnu: so basically I change the ip there save it and thats it? | 05:16 |
| Everene_ | Anyone wish to help me? | 05:17 |
| heterogenerate | anyone know gnu parted 3.0 | 05:17 |
| heterogenerate | anyone know gnu parted 3.0? | 05:17 |
| MahaVishnu | oooaaaooo, no. first you do a sudo ifdown eth0 to bring interface down. edit the file then do a sudo ifup eth0 to bring it up with new address, you could write a small script to do it all in one command. | 05:17 |
| somsip | Everene_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot | 05:18 |
| Everene_ | lol i know that | 05:18 |
| somsip | Everene_: so why " Everene_> Anyone wish to help me?" | 05:18 |
| oooaaaooo | MahaVishnu: yup thanks | 05:18 |
| michaeljwjr | ok so if I have a 64 bit system, with the 64 bit driver for my graphics card, I can't use Wine to play games? | 05:18 |
| heterogenerate | anyone know a chatroom for gnu parted 3.0? | 05:18 |
| slugzzz_ | ... but how can I run amd64 on an intel machine? | 05:19 |
| MahaVishnu | slugzzz, it is for 64bit not just amd. | 05:19 |
| sajuukkhar | MahaVishnu, I did the xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x1024_60.00 then it gives me this X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) | 05:19 |
| sajuukkhar | Major opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR) | 05:19 |
| sajuukkhar | Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode) | 05:19 |
| MahaVishnu | they call it amd64 cause amd came out with 64bit first. | 05:19 |
| oooaaaooo | MahaVishnu: i looked into the current contents of the file and all it shows are "auto lo | 05:20 |
| oooaaaooo | iface lo inet loopback | 05:20 |
| oooaaaooo | " | 05:20 |
| oooaaaooo | MahaVishnu: what does that mean? | 05:20 |
| MahaVishnu | oooaaaooo, google /etc/network/interfaces static ip | 05:20 |
| slugzzz_ | Hmm... the download on the Ubuntu site says amd64 | 05:20 |
| will_ | MahaVishnu: I don't think they came out with it first, but they came out with the "better" one :) | 05:20 |
| MahaVishnu | oooaaaooo, you need to specify your settings in the file | 05:20 |
| geoffmcc | slugzzz: yea the name is kinda deceptive but amd64 is the 64 bit version | 05:20 |
| Everene_ | slugzzz, it doesn't matter if it says amd, it is both amd and intel | 05:20 |
| heterogenerate | exit | 05:20 |
| urlin2u | heterogenerate, linux and windows generally with build and delete partitions with auto and manual installs | 05:21 |
| heterogenerate | quit | 05:21 |
| oooaaaooo | MahaVishnu: no i mean, i already have settings, so why arent they showing up there? | 05:21 |
| MahaVishnu | oooaaaooo, cause they are probably for network-manager | 05:21 |
| slugzzz_ | Grrr... okay.. that makes a lot of sense... and actually makes my life a hell of a lot easier.... | 05:21 |
| slugzzz_ | Thanks all. | 05:21 |
| oooaaaooo | MahaVishnu: so i need to edit network manager? | 05:22 |
| MahaVishnu | oooaaaooo, you can uninstall it if you are gonna use the file to manage your net | 05:22 |
| MahaVishnu | no you dont need to edit network manager | 05:22 |
| oooaaaooo | MahaVishnu: ok ill have to think about this , thanks for the help | 05:23 |

| vijvij | hi I want to download libXau.so.6 from terminal. what is the command ? thanks. | 05:36 |
| ecotrump | I'm trying to find out why I have no transparency settings available for my windows settings and control panel. I'm on Xubuntu. What could have made the transparencies unavailable? | 05:37 |
| nardev | hello, is there any handy way to sync notes, contacts, memos and calendar from Evolution to android phone? | 05:37 |
| MahaVishnu | vijvij, try locate libXau.so.6 | 05:37 |
| vijvij | MahaVishnu : No such file or directory... I think I need to populte my locatedb.. what was the command for that? | 05:38 |
| MahaVishnu | vijvij, updatedb | 05:39 |
| CarlFK | nardev: googled and found... google! http://scottlinux.com/2010/07/10/sync-google-calendar-and-contacts-in-evolution/ | 05:40 |
| vijvij | MahaVishnu : did 'updatedb' followed by 'locate libXau.so.6' ..... gave nothing | 05:40 |
| nardev | CarlFK, :( thnx sorry | 05:40 |
| nardev | i'll look that | 05:40 |
| polardude1983 | @nardev thats probably the best bet :) | 05:40 |
| MahaVishnu | vijvij, you need to install whatever package provides it then i'd guess. | 05:40 |
| nardev | :( i'm trying to avoid google cloud polardude1983 CarlFK | 05:41 |
| vijvij | MahaVishnu : yes... I need to .. I don't know the command for that.. Pretty new to linux. Thanks for helping me ouyt | 05:41 |
| polardude1983 | @nardev What I am seeing is two things SyncML and SyncEvolution | 05:42 |
| CarlFK | nardev: android is a platform/os - that alone doesn't have any sort of contact list. so you need an app to manage that data, and the default is the apps that use google | 05:42 |
| MahaVishnu | vijvij, sudo apt-get install libxau6 libxau-dev | 05:42 |
| vijvij | Maha Vishnu. let me try that. thanks.. One more question what if i don't want to install but just download the so file... Is that possible? | 05:43 |
| nardev | CarlFK, i understand that, so infect, i'm looking for two sided solution :( | 05:43 |
| polardude1983 | @nardev try looking at this http://op-co.de/blog/posts/egroupware_syncml/ | 05:43 |
| nardev | polardude1983, i'll investigate that thnx | 05:44 |
| MahaVishnu | vijvij, uhh idk you can probably get the .so file somewhere off the net... | 05:44 |
| vijvij | MahaVishnu : thanks :) | 05:45 |

| ecotrump | maum, was it working before? | 05:46 |
| polardude1983 | maum, did you have sound at an earlier time? | 05:46 |
| maum | no this is the first time and I installed ubuntu 11.10 and installed new hardware | 05:46 |
| ecotrump | did you install additional drivers? | 05:47 |
| maum | I installed nvidia driver | 05:47 |

| maum | I don't know why | 05:49 |
| polardude1983 | maum, are you using 64bit 11.10? | 05:49 |
| maum | polardude1983, 32bit | 05:50 |
| dark|angel | hey there | 05:50 |
| dark|angel | I'm moving from Debian 6 to Ubuntu 10.04LTS, and I wanted to ask you guys if there are any repositories where I can find newer versions of PHP and such | 05:51 |
| dark|angel | Like PHP-FPM, Nginx, and so fort | 05:51 |
| somsip | dark|angel: if you use 10.04 you are fixed to whateve rpackages are offerd by 10.04 unless you install manaully | 05:51 |
| dark|angel | somsip ok | 05:52 |
| dark|angel | somsip thx | 05:52 |
| polardude1983 | maum, you did a clean install of ubuntu 11.10 or an upgrade? Just wanting to be clear | 05:52 |
| Sid_injector | hey guys how do i add my .list file to a folder that is root? | 05:52 |
| dark|angel | somsip it's not like there was anything for Debian either, except for DotDeb | 05:52 |
| ecotrump | Does anyone know why I would have lost transparency support and gained two more workspaces in Xununtu? Does anyone know what program would be controlling these features in Xubuntu? | 05:53 |
| maum | polardude1983, clean installed | 05:53 |
| Sid_injector | apparently i do not have actcess to it? | 05:53 |
| somsip | dark|angel: When I have looked at repos for older version I've been surprised how out of date they can be. Only example is Firefox is still 3.6 (from memory) in 10.04, but I'm on 8 with 11.10 | 05:54 |
| maum | polardude1983, internal audio is now working | 05:54 |
| ecotrump | Sid_injector, are you accessing the folder through a terminal cmd or through the GUI? | 05:54 |
| polardude1983 | maum, what happened to get it to work? | 05:54 |
| Sid_injector | oh sorry guys im using ubuntu | 05:54 |
| maum | polardude1983, I changed output device | 05:55 |
| ecotrump | I think you might need to get to the folder through a 'sudo' command in the terminal to gain permissions to change it. | 05:55 |
| maum | polardude1983, and I want to use hdmi output | 05:55 |
| kimp | Does anyone know how long it should take to reinstall GRUB? Mine runs for about 1 hour, then I lose patience and reboot it. Perhaps I should wait longer? | 05:55 |
| OerHeks | dark|angel, i see Nginx ppa in this list http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas but be carefull with ppa's , PHP-FPM http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php-5.3-and-php-fpm-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10.04-without-compiling-anything | 05:55 |
| tomatobros | i have ff 8 with 10.10 ppa goodness :p | 05:56 |
| polardude1983 | maum, im not sure what to say to help you get your HDMI sound working. | 05:56 |
| ecotrump | is your monitor on mute, not just the computer? | 05:56 |
| ecotrump | ;) | 05:56 |
| dark|angel | thanks allot <OerHeks> | 05:56 |
| Sid_injector | gui | 05:57 |
| maum | polardude1983, there is two output device ( internal audio analog stereo, hdmi stereo) but hdmi sound is not working | 05:57 |
| ecotrump | Sid_injector, yeah I would bet you need to access the folder through the terminal to gain permissions... not exactly sure how it's done though. Ima n00b | 05:58 |
| Sid_injector | im using the gui @ecotrump | 05:58 |
| polardude1983 | maum, sorry I do not know the answer. All I can say is it might have something to do with PulseAudio or maybe try installing Alsa and uninstall Pulseaudio. | 05:59 |
| Jeremy3D | trying to paste a file in my usr/share/program folder and it's not letting, permissions say i'm not the owner but i'm the only user | 05:59 |
| Sid_injector | ah ok thanks ecotrump i'll go to the ubantu site then and look how to move files to other directorys | 05:59 |
| SnakesAndStuff | Does Ubutu 11.10 have good hardware accelerated flash support? | 05:59 |
| SnakesAndStuff | *Ubuntu | 05:59 |
| haha | yes | 05:59 |
| ecotrump | np Sid_injector | 06:00 |
| polardude1983 | jeremy3d, sudo cp bla/bla/bla/file bla/bla/bla you have to copy as root | 06:00 |
| maum | polardude1983, ok thank you | 06:00 |
| SnakesAndStuff | b/c I am using ubuntu 11.10 and mplayer has vdpau support it seams, but flash video bogs the system down big time. | 06:00 |
| SnakesAndStuff | any suggestion? | 06:00 |
| almoxarife | maum: don't see various 'profiles' associated with the hdmi? | 06:00 |
| haha | go to adobe to downlad the flash player | 06:00 |
| Jeremy3D | ty | 06:01 |
| ecotrump | Does anyone know why I would have lost transparency support and gained two more workspaces in Xununtu? Does anyone know what program would be controlling these features in Xubuntu? | 06:01 |
| Jeremy3D | polardude1983, ty | 06:01 |
| MahaVishnu | maum, whats the problem.. ? | 06:01 |
| maum | almoxarife, what? I don't understand exactly | 06:01 |
| SnakesAndStuff | haha: So which version do I download from their site? I should use it and not the flash-installer that ships with Ubuntu? | 06:01 |
| haha | maybe the internet is delay | 06:01 |
| maum | I can hear internal sound but hdmi sound is not working I want to use this | 06:01 |
| maum | there is two sound card in sound panel. | 06:02 |
| almoxarife | maum: hdmi is the hardware setting, there are various 'profile's associated with it, yes? | 06:03 |
| maum | internal card is working but hdmi | 06:03 |
| dark|angel | which kernel package is recomended for VPS server with Ubuntu 10.04LTS? | 06:03 |
| maum | almoxarife, profile? where can I check it? | 06:03 |
| haha | choise the frist | 06:03 |
| xio23 | i'm trying to restore a folder to a location which already contains the files. i want to overwrite files which have changed and leave the ones which have not. currently --force appears to be required and then it overwrites everything and not just the files which have changed. anybody have an idea on how to do this? | 06:03 |
| almoxarife | maum: sound preferences | 06:03 |
| dark|angel | which kernel package is recomended for VPS server with Ubuntu 10.04LTS? | 06:04 |
| haha | top right | 06:04 |
| maum | almoxarife, yes there are various 'profile's in it | 06:04 |
| somsip | xio23: without knowing what you are using, how about renaming the existing file, restoring the other one, then cp -R * from the renamed one to the restored one? | 06:04 |
| maum | almoxarife, I selected Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output | 06:04 |
| somsip | s/file/folder | 06:04 |
| ejv | dark|angel: the latest one | 06:05 |
| almoxarife | maum: how many? | 06:05 |
| maum | almoxarife, 8 including Off | 06:05 |
| dark|angel | ejv I get a gazilion variations, anything from backported 3 kernels to virtual, server and generic | 06:05 |
| ejv | dark|angel: if you're using LTS it should default to server | 06:05 |
| xio23 | somsip: i am using rdiff-backup | 06:05 |
| ejv | dark|angel: i'm assuming you're rolling ubuntu server 10.04 lts | 06:06 |
| haha | someone know how to backup my system | 06:06 |
| almoxarife | maum: one of them will work, you need to go thru them all, and it requires a logout/in to get it right | 06:06 |
| dark|angel | ejv yes, I got a VPS | 06:06 |
| ejv | yes haha, plenty of people here know how to back stuff up | 06:07 |
| SnakesAndStuff | Ah, if I'm on a 64 bit machine and using a wrapper, I need to also download the 32 bit vdpau libraries, correct? | 06:07 |
| haha | almoxarife , do you know how to backup | 06:07 |
| maum | almoxarife, should I try it all? ok | 06:07 |
| xio23 | somsip: didn't follow your suggestion quite although i think what you are saying would have me restore files that haven't changed. i'm trying to avoid restoring files that haven't changed as it takes longer to do it that way. | 06:07 |
| somsip | xio23: no experience of that, but the principle is the same, yes? You may need another param for 'cp' to make sure older files don't overwrite newer ones. | 06:07 |
| bazhang | !backup > haha | 06:07 |
| ubottu | haha, please see my private message | 06:07 |
| almoxarife | maum: yes | 06:07 |
| ejv | !backup | 06:07 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 06:07 |
| almoxarife | haha: what version? | 06:07 |
| ejv | since when does version have anything to do with backing up files almoxarife :P | 06:08 |
| somsip | xio23: or...rename current folder, restore backup folder, cp -R backup/* renamed/; rm -rf backup; mv renamed backup....sort of thing | 06:08 |
| ejv | haha, there's a lot of very nice command line tools to backup files, cp, scp, rsync, tar, etc. | 06:09 |
| almoxarife | ejv: since there are more than one package and there are some already installed depending on the version, like 11.10, already has backup. since you asked | 06:09 |
| ejv | or if you're gui dependent, stick in a usb stick, copy, and paste. | 06:09 |
| maum | almoxarife, thank you I think I found it the number 2 output is working | 06:09 |
| xio23 | somsip: i think you might not be following what i'm trying to do. if i restore then delete it is going to be restoring all files. which is what i'm trying to avoid. | 06:09 |
| haha | ejv ,cp? | 06:09 |
| almoxarife | maum: mine was 4, cool | 06:09 |
| somsip | xio23: k | 06:09 |
| maum | almoxarife, thanks | 06:09 |
| ejv | 11.10 has a backup "wizard" you mean almoxarife ? | 06:10 |
| xio23 | somsip: you might have given me some ideas though | 06:10 |
| maum | almoxarife, you are genious | 06:10 |
| ejv | haha yes, cp | 06:10 |
| almoxarife | maum: no, I installed hdmi the hard way also | 06:10 |
| ejv | haha, ask questions here, don't PM me | 06:10 |
| somsip | xio23: there maybe some options for cp that will help, but I'll leave it with you | 06:10 |
| ejv | haha, man cp, cp --help, google, etc. | 06:11 |
| ejv | i forgot to add prayer to that list, oh well | 06:11 |
| almoxarife | ejv: 11.10 has backup already, just need to be started | 06:11 |
| dark|angel | ejv the default VPS template for Ubuntu comes with linux-ec2 kernel installed | 06:11 |
| haha | oh ,i see | 06:11 |
| dark|angel | ejc isn't ec2 amazon's elastic computing platform? | 06:11 |
| nhocht | hi | 06:12 |
| ejv | likely an image prepped by your datacenter, go ahead and use it, it's probably fine | 06:12 |
| ejv | almoxarife: so a wizard? :) | 06:12 |
| dark|angel | ejc well, they allow me to change it or upgrade it. I'm just wondering to what... | 06:12 |
| haha | almoxarife , i will have a try | 06:12 |
| almoxarife | ejv: ?? | 06:12 |
| ejv | what is your native language almoxarife | 06:13 |
| almoxarife | !info wizard | 06:13 |
| ubottu | Package wizard does not exist in oneiric | 06:13 |

| tenX | cal ;) | 06:14 |
| ejv | are the cool kids not calling guided software wizards anymore... lol | 06:14 |
| almoxarife | ejv: here is what I know, backup has a 'settings' and 'execute' gui | 06:14 |
| ejv | ahhh | 06:15 |
| SlayersZ | hello xD | 06:15 |
| ejv | deja dup? | 06:15 |
| almoxarife | ejv: you get the star | 06:15 |
| ejv | well as far as i can tell from my googling, it looks like a pretty weak tool | 06:16 |
| ejv | wouldn't be surprised if rsync is underneath it | 06:16 |
| almoxarife | ejv: as far as I can tell from my constant use, works pretty darn well, but that's only because I depend on it | 06:16 |
| ejv | cool, glad ubuntu has people adding software like that | 06:17 |
| ejv | so it appeals to the more mainstream people | 06:17 |
| almoxarife | !info snob-ware | 06:17 |

| ecotrump | polardude1983, should I reinstall compiz or is there a way to troubleshoot it? | 06:21 |
| Jordan_U | kimp: How did you try to re-install grub? | 06:21 |
| totesmuhgoats | so i created a raid array. in fstab i specified the options auto,noexec,rw,users. then once i mounted it i changed the group of the mount point to a group with 2 users in it | 06:22 |
| polardude1983 | ecotrump, did you uninstall compiz in xubuntu? | 06:22 |
| almoxarife | ecotrump: was there a particular reason you installed 'xubuntu? | 06:22 |
| totesmuhgoats | but i can't seem to cd in or ls | 06:22 |
| totesmuhgoats | oh the permissions are set to 777 now | 06:22 |
| totesmuhgoats | so even ifi wasn't in the group it should be accessible | 06:23 |

| djdduty | hello, where is the download for ubuntu server for a 64 bit intel processor? | 06:24 |
| ecotrump | I was running Xubuntu fine; I tried a Xfce session to try it out but after relogging into Xubuntu, I lost all transparency | 06:24 |
| ecotrump | I haven't uninstalled anything yet | 06:24 |
| totesmuhgoats | djdduty: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download | 06:25 |
| djdduty | totesmuhgoats: which one on the list? | 06:25 |
| djdduty | they all look the same to me =/ | 06:25 |
| totesmuhgoats | djdduty: what kind of processor? | 06:25 |
| djdduty | intel | 06:25 |
| djdduty | and I beleive it has 64 bit support | 06:25 |
| djdduty | allthough I am running 32 bit windows | 06:25 |
| totesmuhgoats | djdduty: core i something or core 2 something? | 06:26 |
| totesmuhgoats | the one that says amd64 | 06:26 |
| marcusmvl | teste | 06:26 |
| djdduty | but, isn't that only amd cpu support? | 06:26 |
| totesmuhgoats | djdduty: nope | 06:27 |
| djdduty | I thought thats why it said amd64... | 06:27 |
| kimp | Jordan_U I created a Boot Repair disk | 06:27 |
| djdduty | weird | 06:27 |
| djdduty | ok, well thanks! | 06:27 |
| totesmuhgoats | djdduty: the intel 64 bit architecture is for servers | 06:27 |
| totesmuhgoats | the desktop computers with intel 64 bit chips use amd64 | 06:27 |
| ecotrump | polardude1983, i don't have compiz installed, i don't think | 06:27 |
| djdduty | so ubuntu-server-11.10-amd64.iso.torrent? | 06:27 |
| totesmuhgoats | or sometimes its called x86~64 | 06:27 |
| totesmuhgoats | djdduty: if you want the server edition, yes | 06:28 |
| ecotrump | Polardude1983, I don't remember uninstalling anythying | 06:28 |
| djdduty | totesmuhgoats: I do | 06:28 |

| kimp | Jordan_U I followed the ubuntu instructions to download Boot Repair iso from sourceforge. Booted from CD and let it interrogate my system. Selected the 'Recommended Repairs' option. It runs for a while then gets stuck... | 06:30 |
| polardude1983 | ecotrump, just trying to figure out why you lost it. THat is all :) | 06:30 |
| Jordan_U | kimp: Follow these instructions instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 06:33 |

In Xubuntu 11.10 I had to go to Settings Manager>Window Manager Tweaks>Compositor then recheck the bow 'Enable display compositing'. I think it may have gotten unchecked when I logged into an Xfce session for some reason. Thanks for the help. | 06:40 |
| kimp | Jordan_U, I had 3 partitions before I installed Ubuntu. From what I saw in the GRUB Rescue, I think I now have 5. Should the install create 2 partitions? And does it know that only one can be primary? | 06:40 |
| polardude1983 | ecotrump, glad i helped | 06:40 |
| abhi_ | tenX: yes, from command line or mail client like thunderbird | 06:40 |

| djdduty | alright well, thank you very much yet again | 06:45 |
| Jordan_U | kimp: If you choose "Try Ubuntu before installing" (or something similar) then you can run other applications in addition to the installer (which will be an icon on the Desktop). | 06:45 |
| kimp | I found virtualbox caused problems with 64bit guests on a HP laptop host (with HW virtualisation). Apart from that, it's great. Better than VM Ware... | 06:45 |
| Quaydon | djdduty, I really like virtaualbox too. Im actually running a windows xp guest and a windows 7 guest now :) | 06:45 |
| dodo3773 | @kimp was it a 32bit host | 06:46 |
| djdduty | I just need to run my windows 7 as a vm | 06:46 |

| Hanuman | So | 06:46 |
| dodo3773 | @kimp same problems in linux | 06:46 |

| Quaydon | dodo3773, I don't think I have tried that. | 06:48 |
| djdduty | ok, for my ubuntu server, virtual box or kvm? | 06:48 |
| djdduty | for servers which is better? | 06:48 |

| Vustom | Could someone help me with UNetBootin? When I go to find the .ISO there's only root and filesystem :/ | 06:58 |
| mysteriousdarren | what is your problem? location? | 06:58 |
| Vustom | I can't get to the location, and it's /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/iATKOS_L2/iATKOS_L2.iso | 06:59 |
| sgo11 | how to enable/play sound when I double click and open a folder in nautilus? | 07:00 |
| Vustom | How do I mount an .ISO on Ubuntu? I need to do this then copy the contents onto a USB | 07:00 |
| kimp | Jordan_U, I can't save the image to a thumb drive. The system can see the thumb, but can't open it... Sames goes for all drives, actually, except for one called File System (which I suspect is the CD ROM?) | 07:01 |
| sgo11 | Vustom, simply use the file manager. nautilus. | 07:02 |
| sgo11 | Vustom, open the file manager. double click the iso file. | 07:02 |
| Vustom | I did.. and I clicked Next but UNetBootin skipped extracting and copying the ISO | 07:03 |
| Vustom | and went straight to installing the bootloader | 07:03 |
| Vustom | so now I have to extract the ISO and paste it myself | 07:03 |
| Vustom | I think | 07:03 |
| Vustom | I'm knew to this :D | 07:03 |
| sgo11 | Vustom, sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop file.iso a_folder/ | 07:05 |
| Vustom | sgo11: I did this; /home/vustom/Vustom/Mac/OS/iATKOS_L2 (Look at step 5) | 07:06 |
| Vustom | Would that work as well? | 07:06 |
| sgo11 | Vustom, sorry, I am not sure what you are trying to do. just replied your question how to mount a iso file. :) | 07:08 |

| Vustom | Would this work? | 07:18 |
| almoxarife | Vustom: think of it this way, you are trying to copy a 'shortcut' and not the actual 'file/folder' | 07:18 |
| sgo11 | Sid_injector, mv <source_path/file(s)> <dest_path> | 07:18 |
| Vustom | ... | 07:18 |
| Vustom | Mhmm | 07:18 |
| Vustom | Where do I find this folder/file? | 07:18 |
| Vustom | I'll explain what I'm trying to do | 07:18 |
| sgo11 | Sid_injector, eg: mv /home/user/*.mp3 /home/user/Musics/ | 07:18 |
| Vustom | I have a USB storage device, and a .ISO file near my home directory, I'm wanting to extract the contents of this .ISO and copy all of it into my USB storage device. | 07:19 |
| tenX | Vustom: mount and copy? | 07:20 |
| sgo11 | Sid_injector, '.' is current directory. '..' is parent directory. eg: mv ../*.jpg . | 07:20 |
| Ztag100 | Which is lighter LXDE or xFCE? | 07:20 |
| Ztag100 | I have them both installed already | 07:20 |
| Vustom | Yes, that's what I'm trying to do, I've mounted it near a folder in my home, but when copying it to the USB it says about the Symbolic link problem | 07:20 |
| sgo11 | anyone know where can I enable all the sound effects? currently, there is no sound play when I open directory in nautilus etc.... thanks. | 07:21 |
| almoxarife | Vustom: lets assume you have an iso file, and lets assume you want it on a usb, then it's a matter of copying it, to the usb, when you bring up 'symbolic' link I infer you don't have the two things you initially need to accomplish what you are trying to do | 07:21 |
| Vustom | o | 07:21 |
| Vustom | But I do have both of them, so what's wrong? ._. | 07:21 |
| Sid_injector | @sgoll ok so then there is no command definition for the file system? | 07:21 |
| almoxarife | Vustom: wth does 'mount' iso near home mean? | 07:21 |
| Sid_injector | i can just add the path then right? | 07:21 |
| sgo11 | Sid_injector, sorry, I don't understand your question. | 07:22 |

| sgo11 | Sid_injector, and please, my nickname is sgo11 . not ll.. | 07:22 |

| lmaowaffle1 | hi folks. Is it okay to ask about zfs use in ubuntu in this channel, or elsewhere? | 07:46 |
| mrpink57 | kimp: that recovery partition may have held the recovery disk info, a lot of manufactures do not ship a cd anymore. | 07:46 |

| kimp | tenX, I tried GRUB many times. Even re-downloaded and cut a new disk. If Ubuntu LiveCD can't navigate the file system, I don't think Grub will be able to either... | 07:49 |
| mrpink57 | after fixmbr you will need to reinstall grub. | 07:49 |
| tenX | mrpink57: yeah but that will prevent dual boot | 07:49 |
| Haematoma | and have that script be a part of my linux commands list | 07:49 |
| almoxarife | BernSamson: if you have a 64bit machine then use 64bit os, unless you don't want to use 1/2 the processing power | 07:49 |
| Haematoma | so that I only have to type "converttomp3 [Source:Path] [Dest:Path] | 07:49 |
| mrpink57 | tenX: at first it will, but once you reinstall grub it wont. | 07:50 |
| Haematoma | and the script that I wrote will be called | 07:50 |
| tenX | kimp: hmm all those tries ended up the same? | 07:50 |
| BernSamson | thank you Alomax | 07:50 |

| kimp | tenX, no. Just drops straight to the rescue. I looked around and found lots of Grub files, but not a grub config. Same problem - nothing can write to the filesystem | 07:52 |
| almoxarife | BernSamson: not sure, unity3d depends on the video drivers being there, still, if we are talking a fresh install, do the 64bit and 'alternate' iso , not the 'desktop' | 07:52 |

| Vermind | Hi, I use IBUS to type Chinese in gnome-shell. The ibus keyboardlike icon changes into a picture with a crossed out red circle when in pinyin mode. It should be a blue character like in GNOME2. I have tried several icon themes, including Gnome, elementary, Mint-X. Any ideas? | 08:01 |

| evil_hog | i have lenovo z570 laptop with uefi. i'm trying to install kubuntu 11.10 x86_64. after bios upgrade i'm able to install and launch kubuntu without problems, but i don't like standard partitioning because it doesn't respect 4k alignment. but when i install kubuntu with manual partitioning, it appears as 'ubuntu' in uefi menu, but wont boot | 08:20 |
| PPPPPPP | does anyone know here i can find good Boo tutorials? and example scripts? | 08:20 |

| kimp | almoxarife, is this the right place to download from, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download | 08:27 |
| polardude1983 | somsip, like if i have files doc_01 to doc_04. I only want to copy the first three. or if i have files doc_01 to doc_07 i only want to copy the first 6 | 08:27 |
| somsip | polardude1983: when 'first three' are the first three when listed by alphabetical order? Or date order? | 08:28 |
| almoxarife | kimp: assuming it's a 64bit machine and you want the 11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent | 08:28 |
| polardude1983 | somsip, alphabetical | 08:28 |
| Vermind | polardude1983: you could do that with a gui very easily, or in a terminal using a one liner: cp $( ls | awk 'NR > 1 {print last} { last=$1 }' ) wher-ever/you/want/to/copy/them | 08:28 |
| somsip | polardude1983: try something along these lines: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4817313/bash-script-to-delete-all-but-n-files-when-sorted-alphabetically | 08:29 |
| kimp | almoxarife, it's an intel i7, an x86 chip. It can run Win 64, so should be able to run Ubuntu 64? | 08:29 |
| Vermind | there you should tell ls what kind of order you want, if you want it to be different than normal ls order, and tell cp about -r and -i if you need them | 08:29 |
| almoxarife | kimp: if it can run win64 then it's a 64bit machine, so 64bit ubuntu is the logical choice | 08:30 |

| almoxarife | kimp: amd64=64bit | 08:31 |
| polardude1983 | somsip, thank you so much | 08:31 |
| Vermind | crescendo: how about alt-f2 and metacity --replace | 08:31 |
| crescendo | Vermind, does that properly "disown" the process? | 08:31 |

| crescendo | I don't trust that finnicky little window | 08:32 |
| almoxarife | BernSamson: sort of | 08:32 |
| crescendo | hrm, that didn't correctly resolve my issue either. | 08:32 |
| almoxarife | BernSamson: first ubuntu needs 'sharing' turned on | 08:32 |
| Vermind | crescendo: What's the issue? | 08:32 |
| BernSamson | I ask...because I have some MMOs that I like playing...but they are Windows based games... | 08:33 |
| somsip | BernSamson: you can access it my mounting it directly https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions | 08:33 |
| almoxarife | BernSamson: and access to the windows shares do not need wine | 08:33 |
| crescendo | Vermind, artifacts hanging around when I drag a window, and unmaximizable windows | 08:33 |
| Maxy1982 | am getting this error: file not found : grub rescue> | 08:33 |

| Peristyle | is not insecure mounting automatically windows partition? | 08:34 |
| somsip | BernSamson: if you are wanting to run windows executables on Linux you need wine or something very similar | 08:34 |
| almoxarife | BernSamson: you do need wine if the games are win | 08:34 |

| Vermind | crescendo: Do you have the reduced resources mode on in metacity? | 08:34 |
| MeirD | I networking question: In my routing table I have an entry 9.151... with a Gemnmask that its gateway is 0.0.0.0. Then I have an entry "0.0.0.0" with gateway 9.151.131.9. What happens when I try to connect to an IP on my local network? It seems like it forwards the IP package to the default gateway anyway?? | 08:35 |
| crescendo | Vermind, I have not modified any metacity configs, no | 08:35 |
| almoxarife | kimp: insure you are connected to the internet on install via ethernet for best results | 08:35 |
| kimp | will do | 08:36 |
| Vermind | crescendo: which ubuntu version is this? try using gconf-editor and navigating to apps/metacity/general and try toggling the reduced resources mode | 08:36 |

| kimp | almoxarife, one question - the file name AMD64 suggests that it's for an AMD chip, not an intel? | 08:38 |
| almoxarife | kimp: its not, intel or amd | 08:38 |
| kimp | great! | 08:38 |
| almoxarife | kimp: I have never understood the reason myself, someone does not want to give intel credit????? anyway, my lappy is intel and it matters not to it | 08:39 |
| andyn | the instruction set extension was developed by AMD, hence the name | 08:41 |
| almoxarife | kimp: there is one hitch, lets assume your lappy does not have 64bit virtualization, like mine, when you want to run 'virtual' software it will need to be 32bit, | 08:41 |
| BernSamson | wait...where did my gear go in the upper right? | 08:41 |

| Hyperbyte | kimp, no. Dual boot is not virtualization. | 08:42 |
| almoxarife | kimp: then if you choose to run virtual (virtualbox) either will work, 32 or 64 bit | 08:43 |

| Maxy1982 | <almoxarife> i tried grub and giving me command not found | 08:50 |
| almoxarife | Maxy1982: why did you want to do that? | 08:51 |
| BernSamson | ok, showed me some gearworks and a file named 'r' | 08:51 |
| BernSamson | what am I looking for? | 08:51 |
| almoxarife | BernSamson: you should have gotten a 'mini terminal' sort of thing | 08:51 |
| Maxy1982 | almoxarife: how can i fix it | 08:52 |
| almoxarife | Maxy1982: there is nothing to fix | 08:52 |
| BernSamson | I got a window that looked really close to Dash | 08:52 |
| BernSamson | Should I type 'r' in Terminal? | 08:52 |
| almoxarife | Maxy1982: stop trying to fix something that is not broke | 08:52 |
| almoxarife | BernSamson: sure, try that | 08:53 |

| almoxarife | Maxy1982: what is the fixation with 'grub'? | 08:53 |
| BernSamson | The program 'r' is currently not installed. you can get it by typing sudo apt-get install littler | 08:54 |
| Peristyle | :p | 08:54 |
| almoxarife | BernSamson: nope, that's not it | 08:54 |

| BernSamson | more than likely it is...I'm running Unity shell | 08:57 |
| prince_jammys | godofmischief: if it is trying to write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you'd need to run the prog as superuser, with sudo or gksudo. | 08:58 |

| prince_jammys | godofmischief: yes, gksudo nvidia-blahblah | 08:59 |
| prince_jammys | is it a gui program? | 08:59 |
| almoxarife | Maxy1982: the first pic showed a terminal within a desktop with a lot to do with installing grub, the last pic is a grub rescue screen, two different things, why? | 08:59 |

| godofmischief | prince_jammys, clicking on the nvidia x server settings icon through unity | 09:02 |
| prince_jammys | godofmischief: i've lost track, but i think this app used to be called nvidia-xconfig. | 09:02 |
| prince_jammys | i don't know how to check what progs the icons point to. | 09:02 |
| almoxarife | Maxy1982: on the live cd, isn't grub repair an option?, actual grub repair is not my forte | 09:03 |
| godofmischief | prince_jammys, posted a few errors when i did that, nvidia-xconfig that is, then it says it saved my config to xorg.conf though | 09:03 |

| almoxarife | Folklore: I had sort of the same issue come up, and I never got very far, the mime type for the txt file needs to be added to the app, but unlike the older versions there isn't a place to do it easily that I found, I tried thru konqueror thinking that it would work, it does not in a gnome session though, know what I mean? | 09:43 |

| SqRt7744 | hi, a couple of months ago I read about a python script someone wrote which automatically creates a html file containing a list of all the movies in a given directory (with images, text from imdb). It was featured on a ubuntu website, perhaps omg or ubuntugeek. Strange thing is I can't find any reference to it anywhere on the 'net. Can anyone here help me out? | 10:01 |
| larryone | rigved, some hardware was a little slow in coming up, and the booloader probably gave up waiting | 10:01 |
| ppppurple | ok, how do you unistall ubuntu OS once you have it installed? | 10:01 |
| SqRt7744 | ppppurple, you could delete the partitions | 10:02 |
| muhammed | my empathy is not working properly.when it automatically close itself when try to use open it | 10:02 |
| larryone | just typed exit at the busybox prompt, and it came up alright now | 10:02 |
| ppppurple | SqRt7744: the only partition it make was for the swap | 10:02 |
| mazda01 | SqRt7744, is it this? http://www.facebook.com/notes/programming-and-scripting-vault/tcsh-script-to-create-an-html-page-listing-files-and-directories-in-a-table-stru/175399059162376 | 10:02 |
| chute | ppppurple: can you boot both OSs now? FYI, unless you use WUBI, you will be creating a new partition anyway. | 10:02 |
| SqRt7744 | ppppurple, unless you installed it though windows, in which case add/remove apps in windows should do the trick | 10:02 |
| rigved | larryone: most probably the slow hardware came up later. the bootloader would would not give up automatically, it would ask you before giving up. but good that your problem was solved! :) | 10:03 |
| almoxarife | SqRt7744: xbmc should do it, but I am thinking the output file is a xml | 10:03 |
| SqRt7744 | mazda01, cool, I'll have a look, but I could have sworn it was a python script. | 10:03 |
| ppppurple | chute: yes when i turn the comp on i can run either ubuntu or windows. ubutun runs a little slow so i was wondering it if would have been faster to partition off more then 4gigs that it made to run alongside windows | 10:03 |
| ppppurple | and i installed it off a bootable USB... | 10:03 |
| SqRt7744 | almoxarife, thanks I'll have a look | 10:03 |
| larryone | rigved, that's what i'm assuming | 10:03 |
| JoeDeso | Short-term-support versions versus Long-term-support? Any benefit for the latter besides the support? Do 11.04 & 11.10 provide much for the server edition? | 10:03 |
| larryone | it didnt ask me tho | 10:03 |
| larryone | just dropped to the busybox prompt | 10:03 |
| mazda01 | SqRt7744, i have no idea, just googled. LOL | 10:04 |

| somsip | mazda01: where are you running the bash file from? | 10:05 |
| SqRt7744 | mazda01, no that's not it, that doesn't do anything other than show the directory listing as an html | 10:05 |
| chute | ppppurple: yes, 4GB is a bit on the low side. Is grub your boot manager? | 10:05 |
| mazda01 | somsip, my home dir | 10:07 |
| mazda01 | somsip, conky is even running according to ps http://pastebin.com/jg0F1iGy | 10:07 |
| mazda01 | SqRt7744, didn't think it was that easy. :( | 10:07 |
| rigved | JoeDeso: 11.10 does have some new software, specifically juju. but LTS is always better as it gets more attention in regards to stability. wait for 12.04. by that time, most of the bugs in the new packages will have been sorted out. plus there will be more charms available by default. | 10:07 |
| somsip | mazda01: are you running it from terminal, or double clicking on it in Nautilus or what? | 10:07 |

| mazda01 | somsip, it's set to run from the start up applications gui. | 10:09 |
| paulo_gomes | i'm starting it with -f because of the menu problem | 10:09 |
| RGUYASD | anyone in here compiled a kernel before ? | 10:09 |
| chute | ppppurple: could you elaborate on "ubuntu runs a bit slow"? | 10:09 |
| mazda01 | somsip, if i just sudo killall conky after my machine boots up, then issue from the cli ./.conkylauch all is well. | 10:10 |
| geirha | paulo_gomes: Does it have problems only with non-english letters? | 10:10 |
| somsip | mazda01: I could be wrong, but you're starting a process, backgrounding it (and the second line in the bash file has a && at the end which does I don't know what) and then killing the parent process. I run conky from .xinitrc. But I'm no expert | 10:10 |
| ppppurple | chute: sorry, was googling ubuntu stuff. just when i click anything while on the ubuntu OS it takes like 2 seconds to respond and open a program. im not sure what the "grub" is | 10:10 |
| nooobie | hi guys, is it right, when i want to enumerate my network. to see ip adresses of other servers in my network and i want to scane from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255 i use: "nman -sL 192.168.0.0/24"? | 10:11 |
| mazda01 | somsip, i'll change whatever to be honest. like I said been just "dealing" with it for years now. can you point me to a place to run it upon startup from .xinited? also, note I am running 10.04. Its a stable production box, so I am not upgrading at this time | 10:12 |
| mazda01 | somsip, also, i found that launch file commands online. the exit doesn't "kill" the process as you said, which is shown when I issue a ps . you can seee them running, it's a window manager thing i believe | 10:13 |
| somsip | mazda01: so maybe start by just running "conky -p 30 -c /home/daniel/.conkyrc " in a temrinal and see if your conky scripts work properly first. Then put it together in a bash script, and run it from somewhere that won't kill the backgroup process. What window manager are you running? | 10:13 |
| mazda01 | somsip, i use gnome | 10:13 |
| somsip | mazda01: fair enough. But still start by testing each one separate in an environment you can control. Run from terminal, check they work. kill them. Edit the conky files and repeat | 10:13 |
| somsip | mazda01: k - not sure where thebest place for a startup would be. Maybe you have it in the right place | 10:14 |
| ppppurple | any one able to direct me to info on how to get rid of ubuntu once its installed on dual boot? would like to reinstall it | 10:14 |
| chute | ppppurple: I would suggest you run as is and get a bit used to ubuntu. Once convinced, do a more informed new install. | 10:15 |
| mazda01 | somsip, i've done all that. lol. here's it running successfully from the bash launch script. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-buTwVKoJcyM/TuCORwQY5wI/AAAAAAAABZE/A4ja3NMUS2I/s720/Screenshot-1.png | 10:15 |
| chute | ppppurple: just reinstall Ubuntu from your liveCD, changing your partition sizes. | 10:16 |
| ppppurple | chute: i have been playing with it in Virtual Box quite a bit | 10:16 |
| ppppurple | hmmm ok ill try that | 10:16 |
| mazda01 | somsip, i appreciatee your help! i am not trying to being "snippy" or anytyhing. I am just pointing out I have tried and tried all you're suggesting. May I see your .conkyrc? | 10:16 |
| somsip | mazda01: so the problem is it doesn't run automatically on startup? Maybe I missed the root problem you are having | 10:16 |
| mazda01 | somsip, it runs upon start up. the problem is that it seems to disappear from view, BUT per a ps aux command conky is still running | 10:17 |

| mazda01 | somsip, it's my understanding thats what allows other command to run after that command BUT only if that command is successful. I think, LOL I am no a bash guy at all, just found that online somewhere | 10:20 |
| themachinegun | ok.. and i also want to ask about live hacking o/s?.. | 10:20 |

| mazda01 | dr_willis, yes, I know. it's something either with the own_window or double_buffer settings. | 10:44 |
| dr_willis | ive seen conky work right ir mess up. with no changes to its cinfigs. unuty and conky like to fight | 10:45 |
| preksha | nybody thr? | 10:45 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, dont run unity | 10:45 |
| almoxarife | mazda01: what about opening a terminal and executing your script line by line? find the line that causes the problem first? | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | id check askubuntu.com about the conky issue | 10:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | panv, Not sure; I always just used gmail through browser and T-Bird for personal/private email acct. Perhaps you could request the sender to "resend?" | 10:46 |
| mazda01 | does anyone have a basic conkyrc file I could check out? who uses gnome and NO composite manager. please | 10:46 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, there is no problem that I see, here's the log from running from a terminal http://pastebin.com/0HAXdEn9 | 10:46 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: conky can generate one. check its --help | 10:46 |
| Sidewinder1 | mazda01, I believe there hundreds, if not thousands on ubuntu-forums. | 10:47 |
| almoxarife | mazda01: still, there is a line that wipes out the icons, I am no script guru, but I would want to know which line caused it | 10:47 |
| dr_willis | over 9000? :-) | 10:47 |
| Sidewinder1 | there are, even. | 10:47 |
| mazda01 | Sidewinder1, thanks, ive been dealing with the issue for over 2 years and I've tried "thousands" of configs only to come to same issue | 10:48 |
| jelly | Hi, is there a ready-made DBD::Oracle package (libdbd-oracle-perl) for Ubuntu LTS? | 10:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | mazda01, Doesn't sound like fun. :-( | 10:49 |
| almoxarife | mazda01: why are the icons on the desktop an issue? do they need to be there? I don't have a single icon on the desktop, top bar and cairo-dock at bottom, empty space inbetween | 10:50 |
| mazda01 | I GOT IT, had to change the own_window from NO to YES. | 10:50 |
| almoxarife | :) two years, we got to see it | 10:50 |
| dr_willis | took 2 years to try that? | 10:51 |

| mazda01 | almoxarife, lol, just never took the time to care enough to fix it. | 10:51 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, except this morning logged into workstation and thought, gosh darn it. i am going to make conky work! | 10:52 |
| isnomnicon | should understand that you can leave Irssi running all the time under screen, detach from screen and disconnect from your shell, come back later, login and reattach and there Irssi will be. You should also see that with screen, you will have the ability to log in from anywhere and continue your IRCing (or whatever work you're doing in another screen window) just as you left it. Yes, it's good, I know.ould have reappeared. This is the point where you sta | 10:52 |
| almoxarife | mazda01: you need a new stressor | 10:52 |
| isnomnicon | exit | 10:52 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, yeap, on to the next thing in my 10.04 setup. LOL | 10:53 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, been using ubuntu since dapper and LOVIN IN!!! | 10:53 |
| nsivyer | does anyone know who is in charge of the ubuntu ntp server? | 10:54 |
| almoxarife | mazda01: you want stress? 11.10 gnome-shell, that should keep you busy | 10:54 |
| Sidewinder1 | mazda01, I'm sure, after 2 yr.s you've seen this; if not, try posting your problem on the last page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&highlight=conky | 10:54 |
| mazda01 | it's the only reason I am so vex'd on so many aspects of linux (debian based) in general. Create an issue, research, google, irc, SOLVE. Love it | 10:54 |

| mazda01 | anyone know an easy way to make desktop icons smaller? | 10:56 |
| Sidewinder1 | mazda01, I haven't been on too much, lately; only a couple of hundred beans.. | 10:56 |
| mazda01 | i have a custom genoid theme but isn't there like a DPI setting somewhere to control size of icons on desktop | 10:56 |
| mazda01 | Sidewinder1, it's all good. as i said I wasn't trying to brag about my bean count I was merely showing proof that I was aware of the forums | 10:57 |
| mazda01 | Sidewinder1, like I said, been using ubuntu since dapper | 10:57 |
| mazda01 | anyone know where to find a genral setting for desktop icon size? | 10:58 |
| almoxarife | mazda01: and icon size is still an issue? how would you do it in dapper? | 10:58 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, pffft, not sure how to read that. u joking? | 10:58 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, i never claimed be some know all expert. | 10:59 |
| Sidewinder1 | mazda01, But, did you post your problem in the thread that I gave you? It started in Oct. '06 and is over 1,800 pages long.. | 10:59 |
| nsivyer | it looks like ntp.ubuntu.com is experiencing issues, random connection drops | 10:59 |
| mazda01 | Sidewinder1, no because as I stated. I never really cared enough to figure it out, much more pressing things to work on. It's all fixed now and thats good | 10:59 |
| Sidewinder1 | mazda01, If the guys/gals who frequent that thread can't answer, there may be 'no answer." :-( | 11:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | Ok, but I do understand frustration.. :D | 11:00 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, sorry if I came off as some expert. I didn't mean to. been on ubuntu since dapper BUT still learn NEW things in ubuntu daily whether it be to use x11vnc thru a secure ssh tunnel from work OR maybe using the latest svn kdenlive to do video editing of my video game play and upload to youtube. | 11:01 |
| mazda01 | Sidewinder1, it's working, maybe you missed that I said I solved it | 11:01 |
| Sidewinder1 | Congrats! | 11:02 |
| mazda01 | doubt anyone cares BUT this is my Youtube channel and it's ALL done with ubuntu, kino, and kdenlive (and of course ffmpeg for screencasts and xbox 360 for gameplay) | 11:02 |

| Sidewinder1 | !pm | |TTTTT| | 11:06 |

| mazda01 | guess ill check out gconf-editor | 11:07 |
| almoxarife | mazda01: soaps? could I guess, never saw one with sop, but I assume someone outthere has done it | 11:08 |
| xcv | I have nothing on the desktop | 11:08 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, ok, i guessed. as I said I don;t know what a "sop" is | 11:08 |
| mazda01 | xcv, so did the deb installer says it ran correctyl? | 11:08 |

| meerkats | How do I install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run in my 11.10? | 11:09 |
| xcv | mazda01: it said that it was installed succesfull, and it is on 10.04 | 11:09 |
| almoxarife | meerkats: you don't, you install nivida current unless you want to fight a install | 11:10 |
| meerkats | almoxarife, is it that difficult? | 11:11 |
| almoxarife | meerkats: not at all | 11:11 |
| preksha | folks how do i use xmlrpc in my _nodeapi ? | 11:11 |
| meerkats | almoxarife, any link to "fight" the installation? | 11:11 |
| mazda01 | xcv, ah,, you're speaking my langauge. lol so it didn't install anywhere in the menu? go to system, pref, main menu and view each category to see if it's maybe NOT check marked. | 11:11 |
| mazda01 | meerkats, you comforatble working from command line? | 11:12 |
| almoxarife | meerkats: how do you install stuff on your machine? | 11:12 |
| demosfar | how to check what interface uses my wireless card? | 11:12 |
| meerkats | almoxarife, sometimes i need to compile | 11:12 |
| mazda01 | demosfar, interface? you mean like wlan0 etc etc? | 11:12 |
| demosfar | mazda01, yes | 11:12 |
| mazda01 | demosfar, lshw normally is pretty helpful | 11:12 |
| mazda01 | demosfar, sudo lshw | 11:13 |
| almoxarife | meerkats: seems you should be able to do the apt get thing then, the package you want is nvidia-current | 11:13 |

| meerkats | anyways im reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingRunPackage | 11:14 |
| mazda01 | demosfar, well, i am not sure what info you're looking for. i may have a better command if I better understood what you're doing | 11:14 |
| demosfar | I found it. It's on eth2 interface.. | 11:15 |
| xcv | mazda01: no I cannot find it. But with this tree: http://www.mediafire.com/?vsvl77za5ydd5a5 Where is the launcher of symphony? | 11:15 |
| mazda01 | demosfar, doesn't make any sense. normally "eth" interfaces are for NIC's not wifi cards | 11:16 |
| demosfar | one more question...in ubuntu 11.10 there is no package manager? (I wan to install grub2 customizer, but in software center i cannot find that program) | 11:16 |
| demosfar | i know... my crazy comp :) | 11:16 |
| mazda01 | xcv, you'll find people willing to help more if you used pastebin next time. let me look, one second | 11:17 |
| mazda01 | xcv, just a "protip" lol | 11:17 |
| deej1976 | demosfar: apt-cache search grub2 | 11:17 |
| theadmin | mazda01: New Broadcom drivers create eth* interfaces. | 11:17 |
| theadmin | mazda01: No idea why | 11:17 |
| xcv | mazda01: it is tooo huge to past in pastbin | 11:17 |
| almoxarife | meerkats: ppa? still easier than fighting it? ppa:ferramroberto/nvidia | 11:18 |
| almoxarife | meerkats: yes, the 210 | 11:18 |
| demosfar | deej1976, there is no grub2 customizer listed after casche searc | 11:18 |
| almoxarife | meerkats: yes, the 290 | 11:18 |
| SmokeyD | hey everyone. I switched my desktop from unity to xfce. I also wanted to try xdm instead of lightdm. The switch to xdm went fine, but now that I switched back to lightdm with dpkg-reconfigure lightdm, after rebooting, the x.org doesn't start. If I switch back to xdm, everything is fine, but switchting to lightdm makes light not want to start | 11:19 |
| mazda01 | xcv, ok. did you read the full install tutorial of http://wiki.oseems.com/programming/symfony/setup-symfony-in-linux | 11:19 |
| meerkats | almoxarife, thanks, I was just about to run my .run as root | 11:19 |
| deej1976 | demosfar: not in the repository then | 11:19 |
| mazda01 | xcv, i am not familar with symphony is | 11:19 |
| mazda01 | theadmin, ah, see thats a new thing i learned. LOL | 11:20 |
| mazda01 | theadmin, not a wifi guy BUT good to know for future ref | 11:20 |
| deej1976 | demosfar: startupmanager? | 11:20 |
| pzn | how can I know the reasons about a package exists in 11.04 and does not exist in 11.10? (trying to discover about package rpncalc) | 11:20 |
| SmokeyD | the screen keeps blinking from black to the console, tryinng to start x.org, and finally gives up | 11:20 |
| demosfar | deej1976, so, do u know any grub2 gui customizer other that startupmanager, cause i cannot remove entry from startupmanager.. | 11:20 |
| mazda01 | theadmin, was just telling someone how you learn something new in linux daily despite being a user since dapper | 11:21 |
| xcv | mazda01: there is a litle problem: they propose only .deb or .rpm package for linux | 11:21 |
| deej1976 | demosfar: nope | 11:21 |
| SmokeyD | I can then switch to the console using ctrl-alt-f1, then reconfigure xdm to be the default, and stop lightdm and start xdm, and I can login again | 11:21 |
| mazda01 | xcv, i thought you had a deb? | 11:21 |
| SmokeyD | but if I then switch back to lightdm, x.org fails to start again | 11:21 |
| mazda01 | SmokeyD, you know what the X error is? | 11:21 |
| xcv | mazda01: I cannot extract the txz or zip archive | 11:21 |
| mazda01 | theadmin, you happen to know how to change desktop default icon size? | 11:22 |
| mazda01 | xcv, cannot? | 11:22 |
| mazda01 | xcv, not sure what you mean, you don't know how or you got an error? | 11:22 |
| newer | hello world | 11:22 |
| newer | ? | 11:22 |
| xcv | No because on the wiki they say to download tgz archive witch is unavailable | 11:22 |

| theadmin | mazda01: Okay okay, sorry | 11:24 |
| MonkeyDust | mazda01 please don't use the word n00bs here | 11:24 |
| xcv | mazda01: it is not Symfony but it is lotus symphony from IBM to be abble to read .doc without buying microsoft office 2010 | 11:25 |
| theadmin | MonkeyDust: Why? Everyone was one someday, it's nothing to be ashamed of or anything offensive, imo | 11:25 |
| meerkats | After trying to install ferramosca's ppa I get this The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. how do I bypass that? | 11:25 |
| mazda01 | theadmin, for now, me. LOL i've tried gnome-do and glx_dock in the past | 11:25 |
| azriel | my computer keeps locking up, total freeze and the only thing i can do is restart does this sound familiar to anyone? ubuntu 11.04 with lxde on compaq presario CQ57, google has failed me | 11:25 |
| almoxarife | mazda01: ubuntu-tweak should solve your problems, not for 11.10 | 11:25 |
| mazda01 | MonkeyDust, ok | 11:25 |
| * theadmin uses Launchy on her machine, mazda01 | 11:25 | |
| theadmin | mazda01: Works great for me :) | 11:25 |
| mazda01 | theadmin, will check it out. THANKS! | 11:25 |
| almoxarife | azriel: check your ram | 11:26 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, just installed ubuntu-tweak recently also. will rerun it. thanks | 11:26 |
| theadmin | mazda01: it's like gnome-do but looks better and isn't mono-dependent | 11:26 |
| azriel | almoxarife: what about my ram? | 11:26 |
| SmokeyD | mazda01, I fixed it by completely purging lightdm and related packages, and reinstalling it without the unity-greeter. Now it does start fine | 11:26 |
| mazda01 | SmokeyD, awesome!!! | 11:26 |
| e01 | /j xfce | 11:26 |
| mazda01 | so you guys like unity? | 11:26 |
| MonkeyDust | i don't | 11:27 |
| Exopaladin | I don't | 11:27 |
| SmokeyD | mazda01, now I don't have window borders in xfce though :( | 11:27 |
| azriel | mazda01 >:| | 11:27 |
| almoxarife | azriel: insure your ram is not the problem, then look at the health of your disks, then ???? | 11:27 |
| SmokeyD | Login is fine, but the window borders are missing | 11:27 |
| SmokeyD | using the xfce session | 11:27 |
| mazda01 | xcv, um, pretty sure you can open a .doc with openoffice or libreoffice | 11:27 |
| mazda01 | SmokeyD, sounds like your missing your window decorator | 11:27 |
| azriel | almoxarife: Im sorry I'm not understanding you right now, check my ram for what? how? Health of what disks? | 11:28 |
| xcv | mazda01: Of course but With openoffice or libreoffice It display .doc like a draft. For sending CV it is impossible to be hirred | 11:28 |
| deej1976 | xcv: I would export the CV to pdf and send that. | 11:29 |
| xcv | mazda01: It is because compagny want CV only in .doc, and reject PDF or ODT | 11:29 |
| meerkats | that nvidia drivers ppa doesnt have an available PUBKEY, how bad is that? | 11:29 |
| theadmin | xcv: Maybe you should consider another company. | 11:29 |
| theadmin | meerkats: Nothing to worry about to be honest | 11:29 |
| mazda01 | SmokeyD, can you fire up gconf-editor? | 11:29 |
| meerkats | theadmin, ok | 11:29 |
| mazda01 | xcv, so whats the end goal again? | 11:30 |
| MonkeyDust | meerkats ppa's are maintained by one person only, it's not offical | 11:30 |
| almoxarife | azriel: you said your machine freezes, yes? and you have to restart. you want to insure your 'ram' is not the issue, bad ram is somewhat easy fix, $$$ aside | 11:30 |
| ror | come on guys don't be arseholes, every single recruitment company I've come across has insisted on .doc, it's nothing to do with the companies hiring | 11:30 |

| xcv | The goal is to be hired without buying microsoft office | 11:30 |
| mazda01 | xcv, i use openoffice and just "save-as" to .doc | 11:30 |
| SmokeyD | mazda01, I can't type anything. I can open up a "run command" box with alt-f2, and I can click in it with the mous and click the buttons, but I can't type anything | 11:31 |
| mazda01 | xcv, some formatting crap gets weird with bullets sometimes though but it serves my purpose | 11:31 |
| Sidewinder1 | mazda01, Same, here. | 11:31 |
| azriel | almoxarife oh ok | 11:31 |
| azriel | kim ross is the ideal | 11:31 |
| xcv | mazda01: If I do that, ms office user will say that my CV is a draft -> CV go to the bin | 11:31 |
| ror | xcv: What do you mean, "Draft"? | 11:31 |
| SmokeyD | can I launch a command on the console and start it for a different display? So I can start xfwm or xfce-panel in the console on cltr-alt-f1 for the graphical desktop? | 11:31 |
| * Sidewinder1 Doesn't understans, has never heard of "CV." | 11:31 | |
| mazda01 | xcv, ok, sorry. this sounds beyound my knowledge. i would say look for a recently dated tutorial on install and using lotus symphony in ubuntu | 11:32 |
| Sidewinder1 | understand, even. | 11:32 |
| xcv | Draft: a durty document | 11:32 |
| mazda01 | xcv, or tell the MS user he's at the mercy of the all powerful GATES and you will not bow down. LOL | 11:32 |
| theadmin | SmokeyD: Sure... DISPLAY=:0 xfwm | 11:32 |
| theadmin | SmokeyD: etc | 11:32 |
| xcv | lol mazda01, I said this after the reject of position application | 11:33 |

| mazda01 | xcv, may even be easier running vbox with xp in it and MS office | 11:36 |
| theadmin | xcv: Actually, even if it doesn't, docx has an ISO standard... | 11:37 |
| xcv | mazda01: I wont crack a software, neither buy microsoft. I don't want to make market part lying lol | 11:37 |
| almoxarife | CV??? resume? | 11:37 |
| theadmin | almoxarife: Yes | 11:37 |
| xcv | theadmin: docx has an iso standart not supported by 2007, and 2010 don't run on wine | 11:37 |
| theadmin | The poor girl (guy?) has trouble with LibreOffice's DOC conversion, which I agree, is no good. | 11:38 |
| theadmin | xcv: hey um, what about Google Docs? | 11:38 |
| almoxarife | xcv: for the love of god, do it in google docs, and go on with life! | 11:38 |
| xcv | Google doc sucks at .doc, and .docx | 11:38 |
| SmokeyD | mazda01, theadmin, I managed to get the xfwm4 and xfce4-panel started from the console using theadmin's tip. Now I do have window borders | 11:38 |
| xcv | google doc sucks even on PDF | 11:38 |
| SmokeyD | and I can type and start dconf-editor | 11:38 |
| theadmin | xcv: Won't they even accept a link to a shared google doc? | 11:38 |

| xcv | I repeat; google doc sucks even with odt and pdf | 11:39 |
| theadmin | almoxarife: We're not offtopic, it's a real support issue | 11:39 |
| theadmin | Trying to figure out the best way to create a proper doc file >.> | 11:39 |

| SmokeyD | mazda01, what should I setup in dconf-editor to make sure the xfwm4 window manager and all corresponding stuff are started properly? | 11:40 |
| mazda01 | SmokeyD, hmmmmm, setting your default window manager should have done that for you, it doesn't? | 11:40 |
| mazda01 | almoxarife, coulnd't find desktop icon size in ubuntu-tweak. oh well | 11:41 |
| mazda01 | theadmin, what was the similar type app you use to cairo-dock, glx-dock or gnome-do? | 11:42 |

| arcsky | how can i fix that ? | 11:42 |
| mazda01 | arcsky, you have synaptic or similar package manager open? | 11:43 |
| deej1976 | arcsky: Is the software center run or similar | 11:43 |

| kki313 | Hey folks, I use "arista-transcode -d web -p "H.264" -o file.avi dvd:///dev/dvd" and it always stops encoding after 40 to 60 percent. Any idea whats going wrong? | 11:43 |
| Sidewinder1 | arcsky, Then another apt-get, terminal runnung? | 11:44 |
| mazda01 | arcsky, hmmmmm. issue ps aux | less and go thru and see what's running that would be installing software | 11:44 |
| SmokeyD | mazda01, no. I can choose between xfce session and xubuntu session in lightdm. But whichever I choose, xfwm doesn't seem to be running (there are no window borders, panels, etc) | 11:44 |
| theadmin | arcsky: You are running APT as root, right? | 11:44 |
| geirha | arcsky: Make sure there's no apt-processes currently running. E.g. ps -ef | grep '[a]pt' | 11:44 |
| mazda01 | SmokeyD, what version of ubuntu again? | 11:44 |
| geirha | arcsky: If there isn't, dpkg has probably crashed at some point. So you may need to run dpkg --configure -a | 11:45 |
| mazda01 | arcsky, listen to geirha. i sense wisdom in this one. | 11:45 |
| LEGRAND | ciao | 11:46 |
| sebster | is there a keyboard shortcut manager in xubuntu like there is in ubuntu? I can't find anything. I want shortcuts for minimizing windows etc. Any ideas? Ty | 11:46 |

| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 11:46 |
| mazda01 | theadmin, sudo aptitude search launchy returned NADA. must not be in repos? | 11:46 |
| theadmin | sebster: Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts | 11:46 |
| theadmin | mazda01: Ain't. There's a deb package on their site. | 11:46 |
| SmokeyD | mazda01, I'll install the gnome-desktop-environment, switch to the gnome session in lightdm, see if it works, and if so, switch back to xfce-session, maybe that resets the settings properly | 11:46 |
| arcsky | # dpkg --configure -a | 11:47 |
| arcsky | dpkg: status database area is locked by another process | 11:47 |
| mazda01 | SmokeyD, worth a shot. wish i could help more. basically the startup apps appear to be missing xfce panel etc etc | 11:47 |
| sebster | theadmin, yes, but there are no predefined commands for minimizing etc and I don't know them. Is that all there is? How can I find out the various command? | 11:47 |
| theadmin | mazda01: http://launchy.net/downloads/linux/launchy_2.5-1_i386.deb | 11:47 |

| SmokeyD | mazda01, where is it normally configured that xfwm4 and xfce4-panel, etc should be started? | 11:48 |
| theadmin | arcsky: Are you running the command as root? | 11:48 |
| theadmin | arcsky: Because that's a must | 11:48 |
| sebster | theadmin, I found some shortcuts inside the window manager, that'll do for now, ty | 11:49 |
| mazda01 | SmokeyD, not sure. doesn't xfce have a system type thingy where "Start Up applications" can be configured. | 11:49 |
| geirha | arcsky: Does this output anything? sudo fuser -v /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 11:49 |
| SmokeyD | mazda01, it does I think. I will check that as well. But I will first have to figure out the command for it, since I don't have any panels and menu's :) | 11:50 |
| SmokeyD | mazda01, thanks for thinking with me | 11:50 |
| mazda01 | SmokeyD, in mine it's gnome-session-properties but obviously you're not using gnome. hmmmmm | 11:52 |
| arcsky | theadmin: yeah root of course | 11:52 |

| evilC | its 7GB... | 11:54 |
| evilC | its only a LAMP server... | 11:54 |

| evilC | no I have a GUI | 11:55 |
| theadmin | mazda01: sudo dpkg -P launchy # Something like this | 11:55 |
| theadmin | evilC: Then no big surprise. And you can't really expand a vdi, you must create a new one | 11:55 |

| MonkeyDust | !nounity| xuser1 | 12:14 |
| ubottu | xuser1: 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 | 12:14 |

| deej1976 | Disqualified: When using the ext2 or ext3 filesystem by default 5% of the available blocks is reserved for use by the root user. This allows the system to continue running if non-root users fill up the file system and also assists in preventing file fragmentation because the filesystem does not fill up completely. | 15:28 |

| deej1976 | Disqualified: Maybe boot from liveCD gparted and adjust partitions, do you have a lot of old kernels around? | 15:30 |

| mneptok | evil_hog: UEFI partitions need to be ~120MB and formatted FAT32. they need to be mounted to /boot/efi and the EFI bits of GRUB2 need to be installed. | 16:11 |
| mneptok | evil_hog: the Ubuntu installer should detect all this and set it up. if you choose to do it manually, then you need to be very aware of the rules. | 16:12 |
| evil_hog | mneptok: with default partitioning it was fat16 20mb (or 200mb, can't remember) and it worked. i've seen ubuntu in uefi boot menu and was able to boot it. well, i still can see it but it doesn't boot | 16:12 |

| dr_willis | demosfar: you run the .run file.. chmod +x foo.run then ./foo.run | 16:13 |

| evil_hog | mneptok: well, the main reason why i'm doing so is that i want separate /home and i want 4k aligned partitions. the default GUI installer can see EFI partition. but i'm not sure what should i choose as target for grub. the drive itself or that efi partition | 16:15 |

| butti | deej1976: i made so many trys with that | 16:34 |
| butti | deej1976: for example: sudo ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++* | 16:34 |
| deej1976 | butti: can you history | pastebinit | 16:35 |
| fission6 | my linode instance rebooted and /sbin/initi kicked off uwsgi process, i cant seem to kill it, it just respawns | 16:35 |
| fission6 | how can i do so | 16:35 |
| butti | deej1976: tell command for the histrory | 16:35 |

| evil_hog | mneptok: and now the main question:) should I bother now with uefi and gpt, if i have just 750GB drive and probably installation to mbr partition should be easy? | 16:36 |
| MahaVishnu | fission6, or use pstree and figure out whats respawning it? | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | butti: you were making a link to libstdc++.so.6 ? or did i miss read. | 16:37 |
| jrogers | compdoc: umm... I guess I 'made' it. | 16:37 |
| deej1976 | butti: "history" is the command enter in a terminal | 16:37 |
| compdoc | huh? | 16:37 |
| butti | dr_willis:that was one of my wrong commands...i made somany of them | 16:37 |
| fission6 | MahaVishnu: http://dpaste.org/OAPWn/ | 16:38 |

| nagpaiper | I recently upgraded to oneric. on my dell vostro .. facing one issue. The screen always starts at its brightest | 16:41 |
| butti | deej1976: sudo cp libstdc++.so.6.orig libstdc++.so.6 | 16:41 |
| butti | cp: schreibe nicht durch die freihängende symbolische Verknüpfung „libstdc++.so.6“ | 16:41 |
| MahaVishnu | butti, I think your computer is turning german! | 16:42 |
| fission6 | MahaVishnu: how can i kill it then | 16:42 |
| nagpaiper | also .. if i reduce the brightness, it again shoots up when the machine recovers after a screenserver | 16:42 |
| butti | MahaVishnu: :)) | 16:42 |
| MahaVishnu | fission6, it comes back with kill -9 ? | 16:42 |
| nagpaiper | can someone help me with the issue | 16:42 |
| butti | deej1976: its meant dont write through symlink... | 16:42 |
| rasusto | nagpaiper, wear sunglasses | 16:42 |
| nagpaiper | @rasusto hehehe.. good one | 16:43 |
| MahaVishnu | lmao. | 16:43 |
| rasusto | I actually have the same issue with my dell netbook I haven't been able to fix it | 16:43 |
| rojj | whois rojj | 16:43 |
| deej1976 | butti: cd /usr/lib32/ ; mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.link ; cp libstdc++.so.6.orig libstdc++.so.6 | 16:43 |
| nagpaiper | Hmm.. its very annoying | 16:43 |
| MahaVishnu | I understand it's annoying, but cant you just reduce the brightness again ? | 16:44 |
| fission6 | MahaVishnu: yes | 16:44 |
| nagpaiper | Mahavishnu.. you need to do it every two minutes | 16:44 |
| MahaVishnu | nagpaiper, ahh.. | 16:44 |
| nagpaiper | whenever i leave my machine and the screen dims... when i return.. its FLASH!!!! | 16:44 |
| nagpaiper | :) | 16:45 |
| butti | deej1976: the problem persist | 16:45 |
| butti | deej1976: synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 16:45 |
| nagpaiper | i am sure there may be other users facing the issue and hopefully someone having a solution too | 16:45 |
| MahaVishnu | fission6, according to the manual you should be able to send it signal SIGINT/SIGQUIT and it will die... | 16:46 |
| deej1976 | butti: 32 or 64 version? | 16:46 |
| nemo | So, I'm reluctantly considering updating from 11.04 to 11.10... | 16:46 |
| butti | 64 | 16:46 |
| butti | deej1976: 64 | 16:46 |
| nemo | And I was wondering. Are the Mint Gnome 3 extensions available to Ubuntu users? | 16:46 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, use dd or clonezilla to clone ur drive first incase you don't like 11.10 you can go right back to 11.04 | 16:47 |
| nagpaiper | @Mahavishnu.. i wish i did that :(( (with my bright screen) | 16:49 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: oh. I've done that quite a few times. This ubuntu install has been on 5 machines w/ nc + dd | 16:49 |
| nemo | (is a work box) | 16:49 |
| deej1976 | butti: ldd /usr/sbin/synaptic | grep libstdc++.so.6 | 16:49 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: I do have another machine on 11.10 where I resorted to XFCE4. | 16:49 |
| === xxx is now known as Guest33196 | ||
| nemo | But I'd heard the Mint gnome 3 extensions made gnome 3 actually usable. | 16:49 |
| butti | deej1976: ldd /usr/sbin/synaptic | grep libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found | 16:49 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, i was using xfce4 then I started using fluxbox, and ill never use anything else it's perfect in every way. | 16:49 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: so I was considering just upgrading to Mint 12 - but I'm also lazy. | 16:50 |
| rasusto | nemo gnome 3 its a disaster | 16:50 |
| dp | I've got a mint box (please let me know if I should be somewhere else for this) that tells me that a binary I'm trying to run in a local directory, doesn't actually exist. any ideas? | 16:50 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: eh. I wouldn't recommend XFCE4 for everyone. Take my mom for example. She counts on, say, being able to browse an ISO on her desktop - even play the contents - all handled by gnome vfs | 16:50 |
| MahaVishnu | unity is hideous imho but someone is gonna tell us to get back on topic now. | 16:50 |
| rasusto | join the debian master race | 16:50 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: or change her timezone when travelling - XFCE4 still doesn't have a UI for that | 16:50 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, yea usually nothing is ever perfect on a machine. | 16:51 |
| deej1976 | butti: libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | 16:51 |
| MahaVishnu | or life for that matter. | 16:51 |
| nemo | rasusto: of my friends and family who are on 11.10 more of them seem to use gnome 3 than unity - right now a tally of 3 to 0 | 16:51 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: just noting why I wouldn't want to move her from gnome 2 to XFCE4 | 16:51 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: so actually, I'm doubly interested in the mint gnome 3 extensions - both for myself and for her | 16:51 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, nothing wrong with gnome 2. | 16:52 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: well. apart from it not being supported anymore :-p | 16:52 |
| nagpaiper | I am using Gnome 3. | 16:52 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, at all, or just by ubuntu ? | 16:52 |
| nagpaiper | got tired of Unity.. | 16:52 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: at all. | 16:52 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: ubuntu ditching it was forced by gnome | 16:52 |
| Pici | Can we please try to stay on-topic here? This channel is for support only. If you'd like to discuss the relative merits of each desktop environment, you may use #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks. | 16:52 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, ah. I did not know that but makes sense. | 16:52 |
| deej1976 | *anyone* does the live cd have libstdc++.so.6 ? | 16:53 |
| MahaVishnu | sure Pici ;-P | 16:53 |
| butti | deej1976: no permission | 16:53 |
| nemo | Pici: this is a specific support question. Is it possible to install the Mint Gnome 3 extensions in Ubuntu, say by adding some PPA | 16:53 |
| nagpaiper | PICI can you help me | 16:53 |
| nemo | Pici: or do I need to upgrade our machines to Mint 12 | 16:53 |
| butti | deej1976: sudo libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | 16:53 |
| butti | bash: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: Keine Berechtigung | 16:53 |
| nemo | Pici: since I'm kinda lazy, I'd prefer the PPa | 16:53 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, mint isn't supported here just so you know. | 16:53 |
| MahaVishnu | not trying to be a d!ck | 16:53 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: my question as you might notice, is ubuntu tailored | 16:54 |
| Pici | nemo: Have you tried looking for a PPA yourself? The search page is here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 16:54 |
| nemo | is there an *ubuntu* *PPA* for the extensions | 16:54 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, I figured i'd say it before someone said it rudely ;-) | 16:54 |
| Pici | nemo: We don't and can't know what every PPA on launchpad is. | 16:54 |
| nemo | Pici: well, I'd actually tried googling for "installing mint gnome 3 extensions in ubuntu" :) | 16:54 |
| nemo | which wasn't too successful | 16:54 |
| nemo | Pici: not having much luck w/ that search either though :-/ | 16:55 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, it sounds like an activity that could cause problems for the OS some how. | 16:55 |
| Pici | nemo: Then perhaps there is no such PPA. | 16:55 |
| nemo | MahaVishnu: why? gnome 3 is supposed to be extendable | 16:55 |
| nemo | Pici: quite likely. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Perhaps someone else had tried it | 16:55 |
| deej1976 | butti: Can you boot from a livecd and copy the libstdc++.so.6 file back to /usr on your system ? | 16:55 |
| nemo | Pici: that's the purpose of support channels after all! | 16:55 |
| MahaVishnu | nemo, idk much about mint, but if you are installing something tailored for it in ubuntu it might break something. just a possibility. | 16:55 |
| butti | deej1976: look, ti made this: sudo rm /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | 16:56 |
| deej1976 | butti: That is the problem | 16:56 |
| deej1976 | butti: What ubuntu version ? | 16:56 |
| butti | deej1976: thank you very much..that was the problem | 16:56 |
| butti | deej1976: 10.04 | 16:56 |
| deej1976 | butti: Try booting a livecd and copying the file back | 16:57 |
| nagpaiper | Mahavishnu: am i posting my query in the right channel.. sorry to ask a bummer question.. but i am new to the IRC | 16:57 |
| butti | deej1976: i had dipendency prob. one of my proghrams couldnt find the libstdc..so i found some cookingrecipes on the wenb without looking at that ..i mady copy/paste | 16:57 |
| MahaVishnu | nagpaiper, whats ur question again ? | 16:58 |
| nemo | Yay. I think I got where I want to be by finding the package name in mint, then searching for it on launchpad :D | 16:58 |
| nagpaiper | I use 11.1 .. and ever since i upgraded the screen starts at its brightest | 16:58 |
| nemo | mgse-bottompanel for example... | 16:58 |
| evil_hog | take care and thanks for the help. cya ) | 16:58 |
| butti | deej1976: i will do that, thank you very much...may i ask you for the help leter on to solve that other thing? | 16:58 |
| nagpaiper | even if i reduce the brightness .. it comes back at its brightest after it recovers from a dormant state, or a screensaver | 16:59 |
| MahaVishnu | nagpaiper, samsung laptop ? | 16:59 |

| Myrtti | diverdud`: sure, a lot depends on how you configure it | 17:14 |
| nagpaiper | i think i am into the folder | 17:14 |
| MahaVishnu | nagpaiper, like cd /sys/class/backlight/intel_whatever | 17:15 |
| MahaVishnu | nagpaiper, then do an ls to see what files are in there and cat filename to read contents | 17:15 |
| tensorpudding | if you want to know your current directory, type "pwd" in | 17:16 |
| nagpaiper | yes did that | 17:17 |
| nagpaiper | There are about 6- 7 files there | 17:17 |

| lgp171188 | Hi, in my oneiric installation when I copy files, the copy dialog gets lost when I do a show desktop | 17:38 |
| helo | mounting a particular nfs share seems to cause my kernel to throw a GPF | 17:38 |
| lgp171188 | there seems to be no window or notification area icon to get it back | 17:38 |
| lgp171188 | are there any workarounds for this? | 17:38 |
| helo | my only idea is that it has some kind of attempt at an exploit in it, and is causing my kernel to crash instead of working | 17:38 |
| helo | other shares on the same server don't cause the problem | 17:39 |
| Arm0ur | lgp171188: What do you mean "gets lost" ? You can't <Alt>+Tab or <Super> + w to it ? | 17:40 |
| lgp171188 | Arm0ur: I couldn't Alt+tab to it. I wasn't aware of Super+w. Will try that the next time. The only way I was knowing that the file copy/move was happening was that I was doing a move and the files in the source were getting deleted one by one. | 17:41 |

| compdoc | it doesnt mean its only for AMD | 17:52 |

| mdm-irc | does anyone else has these flashes on gnome3 or there is smth wrong with my video driver or smth else | 17:52 |
| Arm0ur | compdoc: Why is it called amd64 anyway ? Is it because AMD was the first to market 64-bit processor ? | 17:53 |
| compdoc | cuz amd invented 64bit cpus that normal ppl could afford. Intel had the titanium, I think it was called | 17:53 |
| mdm-irc | and how to disable these notifications? | 17:54 |
| nailora | Arm0ur: the instruction set these processors (amds as well as intels) comes from amd, thus the name. | 17:56 |
| nailora | + use | 17:56 |

| dr_willis | Rufus: if you get to the actual os. you can edit the /etc/default/grub and ether set a res. or set it to use a text mode menu. | 18:23 |

| cannonball | I have an old laptop with a busted display that I used to make a wireless gateway for a few machines that had no ehternet available to connect them to the lan. | 18:29 |
| cannonball | One of the items attached was a network printer. | 18:29 |
| cannonball | It sends network traffic using some kind of multicast so that it's discoverable. I thought I used a tool named "mcast" or something like that to see the discoverable devices on the lan, but I'm on this Ubuntu 11.04 box and that package/program isn't available. | 18:30 |
| vbw | hello guys | 18:30 |
| cannonball | emcast doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for either. What app/program will let me see what devices are discoverable on a LAN? (I thought it was "mcast", but that doesn't appear to be it) | 18:30 |
| vbw | i was curious if someone can help me | 18:30 |
| vbw | where should i start in learning security in information security? what operating system and main principles should i learn? | 18:31 |
| dr_willis | cannonball: if they are doing a samba server. ive used findsmb, or smbtree in the past. | 18:31 |
| nemo | cannonball: you mean, like, what is displayed if you access network:/// in nautilus? Places->Network | 18:32 |
| nemo | cannonball: printers, windows file shares. | 18:32 |
| cannonball | In this case, it was a network printer. It showed something like _tcp.canon-blahblahblah.local or something liek that. | 18:33 |
| cannonball | Damn, I wish I was home so I could see what program I was using. | 18:33 |
| TBotNik | all: anyone good at getting an integer value from PHP date_diff function? | 18:33 |
| nemo | cannonball: I think system-config-printer also does printer discovery | 18:33 |
| wad | Whenever I get an email, Ubuntu thows a notification box on my screen. I need to tell it to not do that. In older versions, there was a way to manage how the system notified me. Where do I find that in 11.10? | 18:34 |
| cannonball | I'm on an 11.04 box now, but the one I was running it on is an 11.11 box, in case that makes a difference. | 18:34 |
| wad | (I get a lot of email, so the little box is almost always there, preventing me from using that part of my screen.) | 18:34 |
| cannonball | nemo: Note that I'm not trying to discover a printer, I want the command line app that shows discoverable devices on the network. I'm stuck on the phrase "mcast" but it's highly likely that it's something else entirely. | 18:34 |

| malachair | hello there | 18:46 |
| malachair | can some1 help me | 18:46 |
| malachair | i have problem with installing ubuntu 11.10 from usb | 18:47 |
| malachair | when i boot from usb it's frozing at syslinux 4.04 black screen | 18:48 |
| malachair | any solution? | 18:48 |
| nemo | malachair: my guess is a bios bug. | 18:48 |
| nemo | USB boot can be hit or miss, esp on older machines | 18:48 |
| cannonball | MahaVishnu: nemo: I think I found it. avahi-discover seems to be the one. | 18:49 |
| malachair | how can i fix it? | 18:49 |
| nemo | malachair: you might have to use a CD, although posssibly it could be you need to make a smaller partition | 18:49 |
| nemo | malachair: like. some don't like partitions bigger than 1GiB | 18:49 |
| malachair | got it but we dont have cd-rom | 18:49 |
| malachair | its acer extensa 6600 | 18:49 |
| nemo | malachair: no external USB cdrom you can borrow? | 18:49 |
| malachair | no :( | 18:50 |
| malachair | is there any boot for usb? | 18:50 |
| malachair | i mean program | 18:50 |
| nemo | malachair: try smaller USB partition when in the wizard then | 18:50 |
| malachair | ok | 18:50 |
| malachair | i'll try | 18:50 |
| nemo | malachair: you might also want to try a USB HD - I've found that worked when flash drive didn't - not sure why | 18:50 |
| MahaVishnu | cannonball, you were right! and that is a cool little program. it found my printer (although locally shared on this computer) through samba. | 18:51 |
| cannonball | I still am not convinced it's the same program I was usingn (don't recall a gui popping up), but it's definitely nice :-) | 18:51 |
| malachair | is this possible to make partition for usb? | 18:52 |
| Exxon | !fat | 18:52 |

| balrog-k1n | hey, does someone know of a place with all the popular python packages compiled against python3, as downloadable debian packages? | 18:52 |
| nemo | malachair: if you are using the USB boot disc wizard, just specify the size there | 18:53 |
| balrog-k1n | i'm particularly interested in a psycopg2 python3 package to point someone at | 18:53 |
| nemo | malachair: system->administration->startup disc creator that is | 18:53 |
| balrog-k1n | i sent them a python3 program which uses psycopg but they're running ubuntu and say it's not in their packages (at it looks like it's not) | 18:54 |
| balrog-k1n | s/at/and/ | 18:54 |
| nemo | malachair: how did you create the usb boot device? | 18:54 |
| cannonball | MahaVishnu: mzclient also looks roughly the same, but without the gui output that avahi-discover provides. | 18:54 |
| malachair | i'm on my desktop atm, and its win 7. i did format from win7 | 18:55 |
| malachair | and i'm using universal usb installer | 18:55 |
| malachair | from ubuntu's web site | 18:55 |
| nemo | malachair: m'k... never used it | 18:55 |
| malachair | now i format my usb stick to 1 gb | 18:55 |

| malachair | :) | 18:57 |

| nemo | malachair: this is a prob w/ old bios | 18:59 |
| malachair | yes it is :) | 18:59 |
| malachair | its one of my friends laptop | 18:59 |
| nemo | malachair: similar to my car's media player I guess, which refuses to read any usb thumb drive w/ more than 1GiB partition size | 18:59 |

| nemo | s70rm: I don't think I had your precise problem, but once when screwing around w/ gnome 3 advanced settings (I think I was trying to theme it) I managed to totally blow it up | 19:01 |
| nemo | s70rm: I "fixed" it by blowing away all my gnome config dirs :) | 19:01 |
| nemo | .gnome*, .gconf* etc | 19:01 |
| s70rm | nemo: what means that | 19:02 |
| s70rm | nemo: my error i mean | 19:02 |
| nemo | s70rm: no idea. I'm just suggesting you could possibly "fix" it the same way I did | 19:02 |
| s70rm | olk | 19:03 |
| nemo | s70rm: I just basically made sure I wasn't logged into gnome, switched to a terminal then rm -rf 'd .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gconf .gconfd | 19:03 |
| nemo | s70rm: if that doesn't work, you could try blowing away .local too, but that screws up more more of your personal settings than just gnome :-/ | 19:03 |
| malachair | is that possible to run linux setup from ms-dos? | 19:03 |
| nemo | malachair: lol. | 19:04 |
| malachair | ahahah :D | 19:04 |
| malachair | i'm thinking about everything :D | 19:04 |
| nemo | malachair: well. in a way, I guess... | 19:04 |
| nemo | malachair: you could dumpb a raw disc image to the machine | 19:04 |
| nemo | but. that's kind of... advanced | 19:04 |
| malachair | ya | 19:04 |
| nemo | I'd say stick w/ USB boot. safer. | 19:04 |

| extio | i had to ask some for the name of the network to type into the ssid in the network manager | 19:05 |
| extio | any suggestions on a tool to scan for networks without security? such as to find the coffee shop network? and without screwing up my working connections preferably... | 19:05 |

| XiaolinDraconis | are gnome 3 and gnome shell so totally different? | 19:10 |
| nemo | helo: yeah. but I mean, the fact you see nothing at the grub boot screen makes me think it has more to do w/ the new graphical grub boot | 19:10 |

| StepNjump | Hi, I have a problem. I am running ubuntu on a usb pendrive and I'm trying to copy some files from one mounted partition to another. It only copied a few and then told me the device is full. When I df, it really says it's full but when I use nautilus, select all the folders, it says it's only full at 50% of the capacity... Why is that? Is it because the trashbin is full. I don't get it! thanks | 19:45 |

| ubuntu1 | JGAN however, I manually corrected my permissions for Thunderbird and that took me a while... I don't think there is.. sorry | 20:16 |
| neersighted | Exxon: Yeah, except wubi has no migrate-to-dedi-install button | 20:17 |
| ubuntu1 | how can I list the size of each top level folder only? Like when I ls -a, I would like to know the size of each directory in a listing without having to list all sub dirs? du ? | 20:17 |
| JGAN | ubuntu1: ok, yea i did it under root to my whole drive | 20:17 |
| neersighted | I had to manually transefer files/edit fstab/etc | 20:17 |
| stowoda | is something wrong with my usb-hdd? plz have a look at this: http://nopaste.info/794a4cc447.html | 20:17 |
| oCean | ubuntu1: du -sk show size in kilobytes | 20:17 |
| ubuntu1 | Oh no, forget it JGAN! I had just done it to my home folder and I was toast so you are REALLY toast | 20:17 |
| JGAN | yea haha | 20:17 |
| stowoda | why the same hdd is sdb and sdb1 ? | 20:17 |
| oCean | ubuntu1: so.. du -sk * | 20:17 |
| ubuntu1 | Thanjs oCean | 20:17 |
| Exxon | neersighted, there is no migration stuff on wubi..it only the new user | 20:17 |
| JGAN | is there an option such as repair install? | 20:18 |
| MahaVishnu | ubuntu1, du -S | 20:18 |
| ubuntu1 | Not that I'm aware of JGAN. Just create a new profile and move your data in the new profile | 20:18 |
| neersighted | Exxon: Exactly | 20:18 |
| JGAN | alright thanks ubuntu1 | 20:18 |
| neersighted | I had to "hack" my way to a dedi install | 20:18 |
| Shizuo16 | Nothing att all | 20:18 |
| neersighted | Now I have burg, dualbooting Ubuntu/Windoze for me | 20:19 |
| neersighted | <3 | 20:19 |
| * neersighted is in love with his computer right now | 20:19 | |
| oCean | JGAN: I don't believe there is such possibility in Ubuntu. rpm based distro's actually provide an option to restore to default permissions - but that's no good to you now :( | 20:19 |
| MahaVishnu | neersighted, use dd or clonezilla to clone your drive incase you mess up. | 20:19 |
| ubuntu1 | JGAN if I were you, I would disconnect from the internet because depending what permissions you granted your system, you might get some exploits that mught destroy your data. Sign off internet and recreate a new profile | 20:19 |
| neersighted | i already did | 20:19 |
| neersighted | With no backup | 20:19 |
| ubuntu1 | JGAN do you understand what I mean? | 20:19 |
| neersighted | Liek a baws (tm) | 20:19 |
| MahaVishnu | lol | 20:20 |
| JGAN | ubuntu1: yea | 20:20 |
| neersighted | Wanted to se if anyone had done the same and had pointers/warning | 20:20 |
| neersighted | looks like im the only one lol | 20:20 |
| JGAN | everything is set as root:root :/ | 20:20 |
| ubuntu1 | JGAN you are probably open like an open door right now.. No security if you chmod 777 ooops! | 20:20 |
| MahaVishnu | neersighted, i've messed up my shiza plenty of times. thats why i keep a clonezilla backup of my entire ssd. | 20:20 |
| ubuntu1 | oh JGAN, so you just chown? | 20:20 |
| arcsky | if i want to encrypt a file lets say ~/test.txt how can i do that in an easy way ? | 20:21 |
| JGAN | well i chmod 700 too | 20:21 |
| MahaVishnu | chmod 755 not 777 | 20:21 |
| neersighted | It was SO close tho, my sister saw partition magic in windows stuck at 27% of resizing my hdd. She almost did a hard shutdown it the midle of a disk resize | 20:21 |
| neersighted | >_> | 20:21 |
| JGAN | dont ask why i did this | 20:21 |
| oCean | JGAN: getting back to a normal situation is going to be a real pain | 20:21 |
| * neersighted keeps most of his important shiz on a server | 20:22 | |
| neersighted | yay for filezilla's double click to edit mode! | 20:22 |
| JGAN | youre telling me... i didnt keep good backups either :/ | 20:22 |
| neersighted | and yay for rsync! | 20:22 |
| MahaVishnu | JGAN, i think you have learned a valuable lesson here. and it's time for you to reinstall. | 20:22 |
| oCean | neersighted: please stop the random comments | 20:22 |
| MahaVishnu | JGAN, do a dd / clonezilla backup | 20:22 |
| neersighted | kk | 20:22 |
| JGAN | but would that backup the file permissions? | 20:22 |
| MahaVishnu | JGAN, its byte by byte so yea 1's and 0's | 20:23 |
| JGAN | damnit | 20:23 |
| MahaVishnu | JGAN, and dd you can do it in 1 ez cmd | 20:23 |
| JGAN | yea thats the same with sbackup | 20:23 |
| JGAN | im probably just gonna do a whole clean reinstall | 20:23 |
| neersighted | Is it at all pratical to use git to back up your ~? | 20:23 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest10556 | ||
| ubuntu1 | JGAN listen, I'm sort of new to linux but I know that permissions are there to avoid viruses namely to execute or other exploits... You are 'probably' at risk. Just log off the internet and create a new profile. Whatever software is important to you, I mean it's data, move the data to your new profile and manually change the permissions (I did that with my thunderbird data located in ~/.thunderbird).. A | 20:24 |
| MahaVishnu | neersighted, i dont think so... | 20:24 |
| ubuntu1 | lot of data is located in your home folder, hidden so you need to ctrl H in your nautilus to see them or ls -al | 20:24 |
| * neersighted was thinking that with it would work well, if yor ~ was reasonably sized | 20:24 | |
| JGAN | i dont have anything of value on that system | 20:24 |
| oCean | ubuntu1: that's not going to help, because he did a recursive chown/chmod from root | 20:24 |
| JGAN | just the regular files | 20:24 |
| JGAN | and some docs/pics | 20:24 |
| neersighted | multpul file version, fast transfer speeds, and the ablity to check out a different branch to hide secret files | 20:25 |

| rootux | I got a the "ASURO" it's an robot for beginner from the DLR and Robotkit.

| rootux | udrate...) --> but than appears the problem --> when I click "Open device" a window appears "Error: Could not open /dev/ttyUSB0" What can I do? | 20:25 |
| buntstift | hi | 20:25 |
| JGAN | yea i did chmod and chown recursively... real bad idea | 20:25 |
| oCean | neersighted: once more: stop the random offtopic remarks. If you have a question, ask it detailed in single line | 20:25 |
| neersighted | okay. | 20:25 |
| buntstift | can somebody paste my the /usr/share/xsessions/ubuntu.desktop file? I've overwritten it by accident | 20:25 |
| ubuntu1 | I know oCean. Me I did this just recursive from my home folder and it was a mess | 20:25 |
| buntstift | me | 20:25 |
| oCean | ubuntu1: then you would know it has nothing to do with profiles | 20:26 |
| ubuntu1 | It's ok to do JGAN but ensure you are in a data folder with nothing underneath it.. like /Documents/datacrap | 20:26 |
| neersighted | buntstift: http://pastie.org/2987739 | 20:26 |
| Exxon | buntstift, paste is not valid | 20:26 |

| ubuntu1 | oCean I made a big mistake too. After I recreated my new profile, I had remembered that I had mv all my data and docs from old_profile to my new_profile. My partition was small (35 GB) so the system kept warning me that I was down to 1.5 MB in my system. I then deleted old_profile to find out it had cleared 15 GB of space which got me to panick when I had realized I hadn't moved everything indeed! I even | 20:32 |
| ubuntu1 | told the system to delete everything (double oooops). So I guess there is no other way to try to recover this mess bit by bit, sector per sector right? | 20:32 |
| ubuntu1 | am I still connected? | 20:33 |
| Devvvv | no | 20:33 |

| Natesky9 | Can someone help me with a File sharing Issue? | 21:15 |

| neersighted | ubuntu1: :p | 21:45 |
| Natesky9 | It tells me that I cannot mount the drive. I can see the shares, but it loads after 5 minutes and tells me that it cannot moune | 21:45 |
| neersighted | MahaVishnu: How do i find out my display resolution? | 21:46 |
| neersighted | Natesky9: Get a SSH server | 21:46 |
| neersighted | SFTP is the best | 21:46 |

| neersighted | Exxon: pig?!?!?!?!? | 21:46 |
| neersighted | Natesky9: I cant remember the package name... openssh? | 21:46 |
| brightspark | neersighted, sshd is the server | 21:47 |
| neersighted | oh :p | 21:47 |
| brightspark | or opensshd depending on context | 21:47 |
| Exxon | neersighted, i will elobrate i went to fetch the xorg has he using x-ubuntu xorg but it seems..read stated above sorry | 21:47 |

| neersighted | lol np Exxon | 21:47 |
| MahaVishnu | neersighted, whatever you want like 1024x768 or 1280x720 | 21:48 |
| neersighted | trying to rember what my size is | 21:48 |
| neersighted | 1280 was the smaller one, so what could the width be? | 21:48 |
| neersighted | xxxx*1280 | 21:48 |
| ubuntu1 | I need to find the timestamp of a file of when it was created. stat gives me all dates as of today when I changed it's name. How could I find when the file was created ? Is there a way? | 21:49 |
| neersighted | oh, 1280X140 | 21:49 |
| jrib | ubuntu1: what filesystem? | 21:49 |
| ubuntu1 | ext4 jrib | 21:49 |
| jrib | ubuntu1: I think the existing tools do not yet look up creation time... you need to use debugfs. Google "ext4 creation time debugfs" | 21:50 |
| Exxon | neersighted, you should really try replacing the xorg without installing you will get back the vesa drivers and certainly no compiz..i think you can manage | 21:50 |
| neersighted | ? | 21:50 |
| neersighted | I already removed/reinstalled about 5 times | 21:51 |
| neersighted | should i disable propritary drives? | 21:51 |
| neersighted | *drivers | 21:51 |
| histo | ubuntu1: ubuntu1 I don't think you can find creation time. but try here. http://bloggerdigest.blogspot.com/2006/10/using-ls-command-by-examples.html most people suggest the ls -lc flag but that is wrong. | 21:51 |
| histo | ubuntu1: it's not stored anywhere that I know of | 21:51 |
| MahaVishnu | neersighted, sry gotta go. someone will know how to fix it. | 21:51 |
| jrib | histo: ext4 does | 21:52 |
| neersighted | kk, trying to reboot now without ATI drivers | 21:52 |
| neersighted | ima delete teh drives, then reinstall xorg | 21:52 |
| Exxon | neersighted, we don't stand a change rather that the failed drivers .. | 21:52 |
| neersighted | ? | 21:52 |
| Exxon | !blacklist | 21:52 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 21:52 |
| neersighted | I don;t get your grammer | 21:53 |
| neersighted | we don;t stand a charge? | 21:53 |

| * neersighted facedesks | 21:54 | |
| jrib | histo: in the filesystem :) It's not exposed by any tools like stat yet though. You can get at it using debugfs | 21:54 |
| MahaVishnu | neersighted, really? that sucks | 21:54 |
| ubuntu1 | thanks jrib and histo | 21:54 |
| neersighted | brb after reboot | 21:54 |
| MahaVishnu | neersighted, haha ! | 21:54 |
| neersighted | no 3d for me | 21:54 |
| histo | jrib: ahh crtime | 21:54 |
| jrib | histo: yes | 21:54 |
| neersighted | brb! | 21:54 |
| histo | ubuntu1: debugfs is the way to do it | 21:54 |
| MahaVishnu | !VBEINFO | 21:54 |
| MahaVishnu | !vbeinfo | 21:55 |
| Exxon | simply blacklist the drivers that you installed or remove it i don't care..purge it..simply re-install the xorg without reinstall the whole xubuntu or for time sake backup you files ..get a new install. | 21:55 |
| histo | ubuntu1: something like debugfs -R 'stat /some/file' /dev/sda# | 21:55 |
| eqwd | apt-get install kate .. installs a billion files .. apt-get remove kate .. removes 4 files.. Great | 21:55 |
| histo | ubuntu1: there are scripts to find it as well. | 21:56 |
| histo | eqwd: is kate a meta package possibly? | 21:56 |
| imbezol | eqwd: apt-get autoremove ? | 21:56 |

| ubottu | monsterwizard: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 21:58 |

| monsterwizard | f you read what I wrote | 21:58 |
| eqwd | auronandace, i didn't like that in Gedit you can't customise shortcuts.. just things like that. Kate is more for programming stuff. But i can use Jedit i guess | 21:58 |
| histo | monsterwizard: You're asking peoples opinions | 21:58 |

| monsterwizard | I see | 21:59 |
| monsterwizard | thank you | 21:59 |

| monsterwizard | nothin | 21:59 |

| monsterwizard | does it effect the actual OS in anyway ? | 22:00 |
| histo | monsterwizard: I don't understand what you are asking? | 22:00 |
| monsterwizard | ok | 22:00 |
| monsterwizard | erm | 22:00 |
| neersighted | yeah, its really dumb. I'm not sure if removing hte drives, changing burg arround to have _DEFAULT added to it, or removing x and installin git again did it | 22:00 |
| neersighted | my money is on ATI... Well thats 3 hours wasted | 22:01 |
| fpu | hello | 22:01 |
| neersighted | hallo! | 22:01 |

| neersighted | fpu: Shotwell? | 22:02 |
| fpu | geeqie works ok except it doesn't exit after it does the job... | 22:02 |
| fpu | bonus points for being lightweight | 22:02 |
| neersighted | I think shotwell does that... | 22:02 |
| fpu | let me see | 22:02 |
| histo | fpu: geeqie is really lightweight | 22:02 |
| neersighted | hmmm, i could have sworn i saw a "digital picture frame" app somewhere | 22:02 |
| Exxon | neersighted, not only yours many are facing such ati is no more ..sry | 22:02 |
| neersighted | Exxon: np, thanks for trying! | 22:02 |
| neersighted | It's the thought that counts (I think) | 22:03 |
| fpu | all has to be done from command line, it's supposed to work in kind of interaction-less photo frame | 22:03 |
| fpu | shotwell installing, I'll check it out in a sec | 22:03 |
| neersighted | fpu: from CLI, because then you need X, or just start from a term | 22:03 |
| fpu | neersighted: I'm not sure what you mean, anyway there is Xorg | 22:03 |
| neersighted | cli mode | 22:03 |
| histo | fpu: you might not need X there are image viewers for CLI | 22:04 |
| neersighted | hi ctrl-alt-f1, or reboot with the "text" paramter passed through grub | 22:04 |
| fpu | it just has to be started from never-ending forever-looping script | 22:04 |
| neersighted | a bash script? | 22:04 |
| fpu | histo: do you mean those sending images directly to framebuffer? | 22:04 |
| fpu | yes :) it'll be in bash | 22:04 |
| neersighted | I bet if there was a libray for it, you could bouce them onscreen | 22:04 |
| eqwd | auronandace, actually i have found a Gedit plugin that seems to do what I want, so that is good I like Gedit | 22:04 |
| fpu | I don't want to make it too hard, plus it will play videos too | 22:04 |
| fpu | so full Xorg it is | 22:05 |
| neersighted | Whats the max icon size for notify-send? | 22:05 |
| resus | anyone familiar with vsftpd? | 22:05 |

| neersighted | resus: Do you want a FTP or SFTP server? | 22:08 |

| Exxon | neersighted, there is no need to already answered by you | 22:09 |

| monsterwizard | while ubunut boots it shows a horrible ubuntu screen | 22:33 |
| monsterwizard | is there anyway of just seeing the code | 22:33 |
| auronandace | !text | monsterwizard | 22:34 |
| monsterwizard | for example, when you press esc it shows the code | 22:34 |
| ubottu | monsterwizard: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 22:34 |

| guntbert | webnet: without the "!" :) | 22:45 |
| StepNjump | auronandace: http://pastie.org/2988375 | 22:45 |
| Cheery | my other information sources stay quiet.. so I guess ubuntu doesn't have any take on development of graphic-heavy applications explicitly to ubuntu.. | 22:45 |
| webnet | |Long|: you should be able to... google the model number and ubuntu after it that is sure to give you at least something | 22:45 |
| StepNjump | webnet, that partition is 106 GB | 22:46 |
| webnet | StepNjump: that all adds up to 52 g | 22:47 |
| Cheery | you think so much of others.. but leave thinking of yourself for others.. | 22:47 |
| StepNjump | Oh I'm confused webnet. If you look at my first pastie.org, the home says 82 G I think and then when you look in the two profiles, it adds up to much less | 22:48 |
| oCean | StepNjump: especially in /home, there might be (large?) files in hidden directories (starting with a dot, like .VirtualBox) | 22:48 |
| StepNjump | Yes I know oCean but those should show up on the totals, no? | 22:48 |
| oCean | StepNjump: not in du -sk * but try du -sk .* | 22:49 |
| StepNjump | oh really! Ocean.. didnt know that | 22:49 |
| |Long| | webnet, thanks | 22:50 |
| guntbert | StepNjump: or cd .. and then again du -sk * | 22:50 |
| conntrack | That's funny. Each time I download a file the size is different | 22:50 |
| Johnsons | http://bit.ly/uPBolO | 22:50 |
| webnet | |Long|: did you find what you were looking for? | 22:50 |
| StepNjump | Ah that's where it is... 54 GB in .encryptfs! | 22:50 |
| oCean | StepNjump: tadaa | 22:51 |
| StepNjump | Ah that's where it is... 54 GB in .encryptfs! oCean | 22:51 |

| StepNjump | ahah!!! ok!!! | 22:51 |
| imbezol | oCean: what you want is du -sk . | 22:51 |
| oCean | imbezol: no, that's just a total | 22:51 |
| webnet | WOW cant believe i didnt see that missing . | 22:52 |
| === LargePrime is now known as Guest33422 | ||
| oCean | StepNjump: imbezol I usually use http://paste.ubuntu.com/764341/ | 22:52 |
| imbezol | oCean: in what scenario do you care about the size of the parent directory? | 22:52 |
| oCean | imbezol: never | 22:52 |
| imbezol | oCean: exactly.. so why .*? | 22:52 |
| StepNjump | ok Ocean... I did that because another guy prefered pastie.org earlier on today | 22:53 |
| conntrack | I'm using ubuntu 10.04 but cannot view citibank with firefox | 22:53 |
| oCean | StepNjump: sorry.. did what? | 22:53 |
| webnet | oCean: Use pastie i think | 22:53 |
| oCean | imbezol: to find the size of the hidden directories, separately? | 22:53 |
| === daz_ is now known as Guest75291 | ||
| oCean | StepNjump: ah well, many pastebins can be used | 22:54 |
| StepNjump | oCean another guy who helped earlier asked me to use pastie.org so that's why... Ok I might drop off.. I realized that weechat seems to be mounted on the partition I am trying to salvage. I will umount the partition. If I drop, you will know why! (running on a live USB) | 22:54 |
| imbezol | oCean: guess that works if you want to wait for it to tally .. | 22:55 |
| oCean | yep | 22:55 |
| webnet | imbezol: well he was looking for where the memory was going so tallying hidden folders is kinda necessary | 22:56 |
| BernSamson | if I changed my dual boot ubuntu to the 64bit version, would I need to uninstall the 32bit version? | 22:56 |
| imbezol | du -sk .[a-zA-Z0-9]* | 22:56 |
| === Guest33422 is now known as LargePrime | ||
| StepNjump | Ok nevermind, looks like it installed on another partition.. So I just learned that before installing new apps from a live USB or CD, I need to make sure everything is dismounted first! | 22:56 |
| daz__ | hello | 22:56 |
| oCean | imbezol: well, that too - it was a quick paste :) | 22:56 |
| webnet | BernSamson: Nope. Install over it. It has its own partition, just write over it | 22:56 |
| webnet | BernSamson: Unless you are trying to save the 32bit install... that complicates things just a bit... | 22:57 |
| BernSamson | so just run Wubi again with the 64 bit iso...and nothing will really change ouside having the 64 bit? | 22:57 |
| webnet | hmmmmm... | 22:57 |
| guntbert | BernSamson: all data in the ubuntu installation will be lost | 22:58 |
| webnet | BernSamson: You may want to boot the install cd/dvd... i fear that wubi would resize the windows partion and create ANOTHER ubuntu install so you would have 2 ubuntu installs... | 22:58 |
| BernSamson | so I'd have to reinstall kvirc, chromium, flash object handler...and other misc updates | 22:59 |
| StepNjump | oCean, I guess there is no way to find out what's in this .encryptfs unless I find my passphrase eh? | 22:59 |
| webnet | BernSamson: Yes... | 22:59 |
| michael_ | hi, im on 11.10 and I've installed apache2. I don't want apache to send its signautre so i put "ServerSignature Off" in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and restarted apache. but it still sends its signature. I also checked if it gets overwritten in some vhost settings, but it does not. what else could be the problem? | 22:59 |
| webnet | BernSamson: Sadly its not possible (as i know) to change from 32 to 64 without a fresh install... | 22:59 |
| BernSamson | I could save my /home on ubuntu1, unistall it, and then run wubi with the 64bit iso | 23:00 |
| imbezol | michael_: did you edit the /etc/apache2/conf.d/security file? | 23:00 |
| jrib | michael_: did you « grep -R Signature /etc/apache2/ »? | 23:00 |
| imbezol | michael_: or put it in somewhere else? | 23:00 |
| michael_ | i did not edit anything beside /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | 23:01 |
| webnet | BernSamson: Possibly... depends on how you do it.... Boot to ubuntu and mount the windows file system and move your home folder over... than uninstall and use wubi | 23:01 |
| imbezol | michael_: like jrib says.. could be elsewhere.. do a 'grep -r -i serversig /etc/apache2/' | 23:01 |
| jrib | michael_: well you just got two big hints :) | 23:01 |
| BernSamson | webnet: would I have to worry about grub issues with that? | 23:01 |
| michael_ | yeah indeed, I think I got it, thank you both very much! | 23:01 |

| simon | jokosher is good for simple tracks | 23:03 |
| webnet | osmosis: BUT, others you can use are lmms, jokosher, audacity (More of a tweaker)... and a few others) | 23:03 |
| webnet | jmcantrell: is this a fresh install? or WAS it running fine and then stopped? | 23:04 |
| jmcantrell | webnet: fresh install | 23:04 |
| jmcantrell | webnet: my wireless worked fine in earlier versions of ubuntu | 23:05 |
| webnet | jmcantrell: what version are you? | 23:05 |
| webnet | 11.10? | 23:05 |
| jmcantrell | webnet: oneiric | 23:05 |

| StepNjump | with an encryptfs, is there a way to get to the data with just the user password from the terminal or I really need the passphrase? | 23:06 |

| webnet | jmcantrell: ok. lol. i have an acer and i had the same problem... mine was an issue with the new kernel 2.6.38, but that was the least of my problems... i had no display on my built in monitor with linux kernel after 2.6.35. lol | 23:07 |

| StepNjump | tnx jrib | 23:08 |
| jmcantrell | i'm surprised. i always thought of this little guy as a solid linux machine until now | 23:08 |

| totesmuhgoats | hey guys, i am reading through man adduser and I am wondering. if i create a user with --ingroup someGroupHere will it still create a group for that user of the same name as the user? | 23:09 |
| jmcantrell | webnet: trust me, i've been googling for hours | 23:09 |
| webnet | jmcantrell: i was afraid of that... :( | 23:09 |
| webnet | totesmuhgoats: if you use: adduser [insertusernamehere] | 23:10 |
| webnet | totesmuhgoats: it SHOULD do what you want by default | 23:10 |
| osmosis | webnet, interesting. thanks. ill google some of those and take a look. | 23:11 |
| newstar | hi guys | 23:11 |
| osmosis | webnet, i want to mix ontop of someone elses tracks..so ill probably use audacity to import their track. Then maybe use one of the other apps to make my own sounds on top of it. | 23:11 |
| totesmuhgoats | webnet: well i need to create a user just for the purpose of connecting on samba and limiting what that user can access. I want that user to share a group with my normal user and in smb.conf i have placed some restrictions. So I don't need or want the user to have its own group or home directory | 23:11 |
| rich3 | is it normal for right click to open a menu, then a click outside the menu to be ignored? | 23:12 |
| totesmuhgoats | or should i use the --system option | 23:12 |
| webnet | osmosis: yeah. thats the way to go if that is wht you are trying to do. Jokosher is good same. its sorta audacity but more of a daw with sound plugins... personally tho, i could never get the jokosher sources to build! | 23:13 |
| webnet | totesmuhgoats: wait are you trying to make it NOT be in a group of the same name, like add it to an existing group? | 23:14 |
| totesmuhgoats | webnet: yes | 23:14 |
| HNMP | Join #rus | 23:15 |

| webnet | BernSamson: you shouldnt have a problem with grub. A new grub file is established after the install by the installer based on the currently installed OSes. if you write over the 32 bit it should make a new bootloader file that has correct info. | 23:17 |
| neersighted | What was the command to choose your dm? | 23:18 |
| neersighted | sudo dpkg-reconfigure ??? | 23:18 |
| dios_mio | my apt-get doesnt work.. it says "dpkg is corrupt" and i just installed ubuntu few hours ago.. all i did was probably cancel an installation in the middle.. what do i do? | 23:18 |
| webnet | BernSamson: In short answer, No you wont(Shouldnt) have problems with grub | 23:18 |
| neersighted | sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm? | 23:18 |
| neersighted | BernSamson: Grub has a feature called OS-Prober, it should pick-up all your old os's | 23:19 |

| LostyJai | so i run `iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` to discover the devices on the server | 23:52 |
| MonkeyDust | !hardy | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 23:52 |
| LostyJai | do i need to run `iscsiadm -m node` first? | 23:52 |
| webnet | you will have to restart geany if its already running neersighted | 23:53 |
| neersighted | kk | 23:53 |
| neersighted | i already did | 23:53 |

| datakid | MonkeyDust: so you have confirmed that support continues on the version of Hardy I have installed. Any tips on where to find updated mono packages? | 23:53 |
| MonkeyDust | datakid http://badgerports.org/hardy.html | 23:54 |
| kimp | webnet, I'm going to reinstall ubuntu one last time. I'll be more careful about installing the graphics driver this time | 23:54 |
| OerHeks | datakid, maybe this is any help > http://mono-project.com/OldReleases | 23:54 |
| datakid | MonkeyDust: yes, i've been there already - it doesn't seem to have updated the Mono in my system though... | 23:54 |
| tractor_ | Hi all! | 23:55 |
| datakid | OerHeks: thanks | 23:55 |
| BernSamson | I think I'm gettin it | 23:56 |
| MonkeyDust | datakid is this useful https://launchpad.net/~mono-ubuntu/+archive/ppa | 23:56 |
| BernSamson | means I gotta find another blank disc to write the 64 bit install on | 23:57 |
