| tamale1 | penguin_03: All I know is that my monitor says "Error - signal out of range" | 00:00 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: all sudo commands btw | 00:00 |
| Barbariandude | tamale1, become one with the command line. | 00:00 |
| tamale1 | Barbariandude: I use this server 99% of the time from the command line, but that doesn't help when it doesn't boot at all | 00:00 |
| foul_owl | thanks! i will try that | 00:00 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: all that gets the key into the card then just grab a ip with dhcpcd wlan0 | 00:01 |
| Barbariandude | tamale1, ah, right | 00:01 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, do you still get that when you try to open a TTY session? | 00:01 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: I can't open a TTY session | 00:01 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: The numlock key works but that's about it. | 00:02 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: the easy way to avoide rembering all the commands is make a sh script with those commands with your info | 00:02 |
| foul_owl | dhcpcd command not found | 00:02 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: then dhclient | 00:02 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, have you recently installed any graphics drivers, namely propitiatory ones? | 00:02 |
| foul_owl | what args for dhclient | 00:02 |
| gogeta | sudo dhclient wlan0 | 00:02 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: No, the thing I did recently was lose a drive in my raid array. I took all drives out of the system and removed the array from /etc/fstab except my boot drive to simply things. | 00:03 |
| foul_owl | its doing dhcp discover to 255.255.255.255, that can't be right | 00:03 |
| Mike2k | new to ubuntu, want to set up remote login for gui interface --- can anyone point me in the right direction? client machine would be running windows 7 | 00:03 |
| foul_owl | shouldn't it be 255.255.255.0 ? | 00:03 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: linux uses 255.255.255.255 | 00:03 |
| foul_owl | or like 192.168.0.1 ? | 00:03 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: thats just the subnet its using | 00:04 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: it get a ip | 00:04 |
| foul_owl | i think my problem is the wpa_supplicant step | 00:04 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, ah i would look there, you can chroot into the system via livecd/usb to get a working root shell | 00:04 |
| FrozenFire | Barbariandude, Hmm, this feels like a trade-off :P | 00:04 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: did it connect | 00:04 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: How would I do that? (chroot) ? | 00:04 |
| FrozenFire | I managed to get much better FPS in glxgears, but now my fan won't stop running | 00:04 |
| FrozenFire | At full clip, that is. | 00:04 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: wpa_passphrase mywireless_ssid "secretpassphrase" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | 00:04 |
| Barbariandude | FrozenFire, oh, it's not turning off your card right | 00:04 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: Shouldn't I be able to bring the GRUB menu up to do a recovery session or something? I've tried holding shift while booting to no avail. | 00:05 |
| FrozenFire | Yeah. | 00:05 |
| foul_owl | no, it keeps saying "EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering the state disconnected" | 00:05 |
| foul_owl | i did that step | 00:05 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: ip link set wlan0 up | 00:05 |
| foul_owl | i think there is some subtle option that I am not enableing in my config file | 00:05 |
| foul_owl | did that step first | 00:05 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | 00:06 |
| foul_owl | yes i did that one next | 00:06 |
| foul_owl | and i get that error | 00:06 |
| george2 | Has anyone here used http://www.thinkgeek.com/dd1a/ on Linux? | 00:06 |
| FrozenFire | Barbariandude, Well, let me try something. I was using xorg-edgers to get to get ironhide working better. | 00:06 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, i dont know how its setup, i always chroot in when i cant boot, yeah there are other ways, however i am unfamiliar with them, ill put chroot instructions on a paste site in a min | 00:06 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: the pass goes the the "dfdfd" | 00:06 |
| FrozenFire | I'll purge it and move down to the more stable ones. | 00:06 |
| tamale1 | heh, I have the same problem as FrozenFire on my laptop - finally got the video card working with the open source drivers (too old to be supported by FGLRX anymore), but now the fan won't stop spinning at 100% - does anyone know how to control the fan speed with the open source radeon drivers? | 00:06 |

| michaeljwjr | hello I'm trying to update my java to the latest java (the updater is not doing so) so I went to sun java site, and downloaded: jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin but I don't fully know how to install this. Can someone help? | 00:08 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: try sudo dhcpcd3 | 00:09 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: i think ubuntu has that one instaled insteed | 00:09 |
| george2 | michaeljwjr: do chmod +x jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin && ./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin | 00:09 |
| Barbariandude | FrozenFire, basically that everything in bumblebee/stable works really well except it can't turn the damn thing off :P | 00:09 |
| unitheory | george2, that device shouldn't require any software drivers | 00:09 |
| tamale1 | Rapido3011: Yes! I do, actually. You should be able to right click on the folder from within Nautilus and choose "sharing options" | 00:09 |
| foul_owl | doesn't have it | 00:09 |
| rhin0 | thats a binary (.bin) michaeljwjr -- it may be better to get the source code | 00:10 |
| tamale1 | Is anyone familiar with getting into GRUB/GRUB2 from a borked install? I can't bring it up by holding shift or esc | 00:10 |
| FrozenFire | Barbariandude, That's a bit annoying :P | 00:10 |
| FrozenFire | Maybe I'll figure out how to do it manually. | 00:10 |
| rhin0 | but with it you'll get a file that says README giving you instructions on how to install it miahceljwjr | 00:10 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: then do dhcp and tab see what it has | 00:10 |
| rhin0 | binary (.bin) is already compiled | 00:10 |
| foul_owl | dhclient and dhclient3 and that is it | 00:10 |
| michaeljwjr | all of them are .bin, http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en | 00:10 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: try dhclient 3 then | 00:10 |
| === max is now known as Guest82302 | ||
| prodigel | Barbariandude, Frozenball sorry to bust in like this, but your discussion seems to intersect my problem. I have a hybrid Intel/Amd laptop which I can't get to configure no matter what. Do you know of any successful experiences? | 00:11 |
| gogeta | no space | 00:11 |
| foul_owl | still nothing | 00:11 |
| rhin0 | if you download the .rpm file michaeljwjr and install it with "rbm -ivh (filename)" it will probably install | 00:11 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: you shure it doesent have a ip | 00:11 |
| foul_owl | i think we need to isolate the problem to either dhcp or the card connecting | 00:11 |
| foul_owl | after the wpa_supplicant step, but before the dhcp step, how do i confirm the card is connected | 00:12 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: type iwconfig wlan0 | 00:12 |
| Barbariandude | FrozenFire, mine is working just fine, intel nvidia. Your two options are ironhide or bumblebee. Try one, see if it works, if not try the other. Most people seem to have more success with bumblebee | 00:12 |
| foul_owl | gotcha, let me try that | 00:12 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: if the cards on the roughter it will show the ssid | 00:12 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, for chrooting http://fpaste.org/E971/ | 00:12 |
| rhin0 | find out if your system is 64 bit or 32 bit by issuing "uname -a" -- if the blurb out of that has "64" in it you have a 64 bit system - get the 64 bit rpm michaeljwjr | 00:12 |
| george2_ | Stupid network. unitheory: did you say anything else? I just lost my connection. | 00:13 |
| FrozenFire | Barbariandude, Yeah, as I mentioned, bumblebee actually seems to be *working* | 00:13 |
| FrozenFire | It's just the power management | 00:13 |
| unitheory | george2, nope | 00:13 |
| FrozenFire | I'm fiddling with some calls right now | 00:13 |
| michaeljwjr | yes but you see the asterisk? It says to use 32 bit for the web stuff. | 00:13 |
| Barbariandude | prodigel, mine is working just fine, intel nvidia. Your two options are ironhide or bumblebee. Try one, see if it works, if not try the other. Most people seem to have more success with bumblebee | 00:13 |
| george2_ | Ok | 00:13 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: Thanks, I'll take a look at this. I'd feel much more comfortable if I could just boot into a recovery terminal though :( | 00:13 |
| foul_owl | alright, after the wpa_supplicant step, it does NOT show the ssid | 00:13 |
| foul_owl | so the problem is with the card connecting to the access point | 00:13 |
| rhin0 | ok - then get the 32 bit version | 00:13 |
| tamale1 | heh, I have the same problem as FrozenFire on my laptop - finally got the video card working with the open source drivers (too old to be supported by FGLRX anymore), but now the fan won't stop spinning at 100% - does anyone know how to control the fan speed with the open source radeon drivers? I should note that the air coming out of the laptop is cool. | 00:13 |
| george2_ | I'll just try the TG thingy then. I can always return it. | 00:13 |
| Barbariandude | FrozenFire, fail on my part talking to the wrong person :P | 00:13 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: yep did you type the correct key | 00:13 |
| Barbariandude | prodigel, https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/stable | 00:13 |

| === george2_ is now known as george2 | ||
| gogeta | foul_owl: yes on quotes | 00:14 |
| rhin0 | can't you just load java as a plugin on firefox michaeljvjr | 00:14 |
| foul_owl | yes on the quotes? | 00:14 |
| prodigel | Barbariandude, not it's too late for me. Stuck with ati, should've read more before buying the laptop :( | 00:14 |
| prodigel | Barbariandude, s/not/now | 00:14 |
| foul_owl | oh, looks like wpa_passphrase generates the same key either way | 00:15 |
| Barbariandude | prodigel, have you tried both? | 00:15 |
| foul_owl | i have wpa2, if that matters | 00:15 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: wpa_passphrase additional_ssid "mypassword" > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | 00:15 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, that essentially is one and its handy in situations where you cant boot such as fs corruption, kernel panic and whatnot, also bear in mind that there are other ways that is just _my_ preference :) | 00:15 |
| michaeljwjr | rhin0 i am trying to get bastion working in chrome. I have chrome 16 (beta build) and am trying to update my java to see if that gets it working. | 00:15 |
| foul_owl | that is the exact command i am using | 00:15 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: whoa, I think it worked. Now, what can I do to actually FIX the problem? Maybe just dmesg first? | 00:16 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, id shed some more light on recovery terminals if i used them/knew something about them all i can do there is point you to documentation | 00:16 |
| prodigel | Barbariandude I don't think bumblebee it's compatible with ati cards | 00:16 |
| rhin0 | tbh - havent had to load java for anything for months -- just fiddle around -- read docs -- maybe look on ubuntu forums - google for it michaeljwjr | 00:16 |
| michaeljwjr | ok thanks | 00:16 |
| foul_owl | wpa2 personal, it is set to tkip or aes on my router | 00:16 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, start with gathering information and back up anything before you modify it | 00:17 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: ok might need to restart being some stuff might still be backrounded | 00:17 |
| tuxforprez | How to reset gnome 2 panel to original ? | 00:17 |

| tamale1 | penguin_03: Everything important was on the raid array | 00:17 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: the system drive isn't really that important. | 00:17 |
| foul_owl | i do a killall -9 wpa_supplicant each time | 00:17 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: do killall dhclient to | 00:17 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: then wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | 00:18 |
| gogeta | sudo | 00:18 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: I just did 'dmesg' and the last two messages look bad.. one says "(sda) VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem" and the other says (sda2): Mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) | 00:18 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: and see if you get a with dhclient3 | 00:18 |
| Barbariandude | prodigel, even if it isn't, it'll be helpful in turning the card off so the onboard is usable atleast | 00:18 |
| foul_owl | tried that | 00:18 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: or do iwconfig wlan0 to see if it took | 00:18 |
| foul_owl | remember, the problem is that the card isn't connecting to the access point at all | 00:18 |

| adamuu | Hello. I have (had) a software raid5 array of 4 drives . mdadm refuses to start the array because there areonly 2/4 drives. --examine reveals one drive was marked "faulty removed" 2 days ago and i didn't notice. But the other missing drive is merely "removed". Is there any harm in trying to add it back? | 00:19 |
| foul_owl | do i need to specify tkip or aes in my config file? | 00:19 |
| tamale1 | Can I "rebuild" my /etc/fstab file somehow? | 00:19 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: do you got it online at all | 00:19 |
| foul_owl | or do i need to pass any special parameters to wpa_passphrase | 00:19 |
| foul_owl | no, i can't get it online, that is the problem | 00:19 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: even wired? | 00:20 |
| tamale1 | adamuu: YES. I did exactly that and lost all my data a few months ago. You need to be extremely careful about how you add, re-add, or 'assemble' your array back together. | 00:20 |

| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: yes | 00:32 |
| raymondjtoth3 | gogeta, what one you recamend me installing?? | 00:33 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: http://lubuntu.net/ | 00:33 |
| tamale1 | your ls command isn't working - I have no 'by-uuid' subdirectory under /dev/sda2 | 00:33 |
| sandjkirkland | gogeta: you mentioned to fowl-owl about installing wicd, I have wicd installed and using it now but the ubuntu software center does not recognize internet connection | 00:33 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: on a old box that it runs like a champ on my netbook | 00:33 |
| raymondjtoth3 | gogeta, i want to witch interface my dvd-rw rom broken | 00:33 |
| raymondjtoth3 | right now | 00:33 |
| gogeta | sandjkirkland: wicd and the stock network manager conflict | 00:33 |
| raymondjtoth3 | what i do thanks | 00:33 |
| trism | _0x783czar: the motd is generated from the files in /etc/update-motd.d/, if you chmod -x all the files there except 99-footer you can put your text in /etc/motd.tail | 00:33 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: I'm an idiot. I thought you meant to replace "disk" with my disk.. got it. | 00:34 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: ok then just do sudo apt-get install lxde | 00:34 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ot should exist | 00:34 |
| penguin_03 | ah | 00:34 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: then slect it from your session manager | 00:34 |
| raymondjtoth3 | then how i use it gogeta | 00:34 |
| raymondjtoth3 | were i put password right | 00:34 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: yes | 00:34 |
| tuxforprez | !resetpanels | tuxforprez | 00:34 |
| ubottu | tuxforprez, please see my private message | 00:34 |
| raymondjtoth3 | ok brb | 00:35 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: Ok, verified that UUID is definitely what's in /etc/fstab... so now I'm truly stumped. What can i try next? | 00:35 |
| _0x783czar | trism: so if I do that, all the auto generoated text will not be shown and I will be left with only the text I put in the motd.tail file i create? | 00:35 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: Would it be best if I simply re-installed? | 00:35 |
| trism | _0x783czar: yes | 00:35 |
| Barbariandude | I'm somebodies hero! Whoot whoot :D | 00:35 |
| gogeta | sandjkirkland: you cant have both of the network managers installed they will conflict and not work | 00:36 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, if you dont have any data there that you care about, possibly | 00:36 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, you may want to keep some of your configuration files for applications | 00:37 |
| gogeta | sandjkirkland: many where using wicd becouse in lucid the network manager applet would bug and go inviable there is a fit to that bug if you get it | 00:37 |
| _0x783czar | trism: so I can never seem to keep the chmod options straight. using the -x will do what exactly to those files? remove permisions so the system cannot use them? | 00:37 |
| gogeta | :(\ | 00:38 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, are you using the current LTS? | 00:38 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: any luck with the wired | 00:38 |
| atc3030 | hola | 00:38 |
| gogeta | !es | 00:38 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 00:38 |
| foul_owl | oh, i need to find an ethernet cable haha, could take awhile | 00:38 |
| trism | _0x783czar: yes, remove the executable bit, they need to be executable to run | 00:38 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: No, I'm using 11.10 | 00:38 |
| foul_owl | i will be back later if no success. thanks for the help!! | 00:38 |
| foul_owl | i wll install wicd | 00:38 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: lol as i said most new cards will go into crossover with the need for a speical cable like before | 00:39 |
| gogeta | without | 00:39 |
| foul_owl | gotcha. im corssing my fingers. my laptop is one of the new netbooks | 00:39 |
| tamale1 | What's this "boot-repair" I'm hearing about and how could I try that? | 00:39 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: pretty mutch anything build after 2000 | 00:39 |
| Rapido3011 | Does anyone know how to share mounted filesystems with the network in Ubuntu 11.10 ? | 00:39 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: my netbook does crossover fine | 00:39 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, you may want to consider using the current LTS, 10.04.3 its considerably more stable than the every-6-month releases, though some of the software on it is aging | 00:39 |
| foul_owl | sweet. thanks again! | 00:40 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: Thanks for the advice | 00:40 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: on the client pc it should just auto confgure | 00:40 |
| Rapido3011 | Anyone? | 00:40 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: Crap, I can't re-install grub because I don't have networking inside my chroot'd shell - can I fix this?? | 00:40 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, thats considering you are using it as a server, you also may want to consider using the server version as X is a _BIG_ security hole and can cause a lot of other unwanted problems, it is however convenient | 00:41 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, you can run update-grub or update-grub2 | 00:41 |
| Rapido3011 | Does anyone know how to share mounted filesystems with the network in Ubuntu 11.10 ? | 00:41 |
| gogeta | penguin_03: as long as x is not using any sort on dm its not a big deal | 00:41 |
| gogeta | penguin_03: so its only up when in use | 00:42 |
| tamale1 | "The program update-grub can be found in one of the following packages: | 00:42 |
| gogeta | of | 00:42 |
| prower | hello :> a while ago i had to switch from ubuntu because of a bug that caused a kernel panic when you used the "safely eject" option for a usb drive...does anyone know if the kernel that fixes this bug has been pushed out in the updates yet? i'd really like to go back to using it again | 00:42 |
| _0x783czar | trism: thank-you! | 00:42 |
| penguin_03 | gogeta, only up while in use is considerably narrowing the attack window but X still is a big hole and should be reduced or avoided in server environments | 00:43 |
| gogeta | prower: cant say i never had a pc oanic using eject | 00:43 |
| gogeta | panic | 00:43 |
| o85 | when i enable ufw, will it block my ssh port? | 00:43 |
| gogeta | o85: ou can always unblock it ufw is easy enough | 00:43 |
| gogeta | you | 00:43 |
| prower | gogeta: hmm...well, what's the current version of the stable kernel for 11.10? if it matches the test kernel that the bug was fixed in i should be safe | 00:43 |
| gogeta | o85: localy its not blocked | 00:43 |
| gogeta | prower: use live eject a usb device see if it blows up | 00:44 |
| prower | (like uname -a would probably be enough to figure it out :>) | 00:44 |
| Rapido3011 | Does anyone know how to share mounted filesystems with the network in Ubuntu 11.10 ? | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | tamale1: It is very odd that you don't have the grub-common package installed (which contains update-grub). Did you remove this package yourself? | 00:44 |
| prower | gogeta: i can't at the moment as i'm not running ubuntu | 00:44 |
| penguin_03 | gogeta, it also depends where your weak point is, if you use AppArmour, for instance then X problems become your weak point | 00:44 |
| o85 | gogeta: only have ssh access to the machine | 00:44 |
| tamale1 | Jordan_U: yes, I just uninstalled it | 00:45 |
| o85 | gogeta: probably would have to pay some support guy at the datacenter 20¤ just for locally unlocking the port^^ | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | tamale1: Why? | 00:45 |
| tamale1 | Jordan_U: in an attempt to fix my boot drive | 00:45 |
| gogeta | o85: ssh localy in the defult config is not blocked but over the net it is | 00:45 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, it should have networking access if the live media is able to access the network | 00:45 |
| gogeta | o85: yep | 00:46 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: It might have networking, but it definitely doesn't have DNS.. I can't ping google.com | 00:46 |
| o85 | gogeta: ok when i do a "ufw enable" i won''t be able to connect anymore? | 00:46 |
| prower | could anyone who isn't too busy run uname -a under 11.10 and let me know what the output is? i know which kernel fixes the bug, just not the version that's currently available | 00:46 |
| o85 | ist there a way to add ssh before enabling ufw? | 00:46 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, another common problem is that sometimes there is no valid namesever in /etc/resolv.conf | 00:46 |
| capitantyler | hello i have problems with a nvidia target | 00:46 |
| capitantyler | mi card is lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A | 00:46 |
| gogeta | o85: probly not but i dunno if it will cut connection aruldy made | 00:47 |
| raymondjtoth3 | gogeta, i moved to lde desktop and dont see sound how i get that back like ubuntu had | 00:47 |
| gogeta | o85: i think you can set the rules before turning it on yes | 00:47 |
| o85 | do you know how? | 00:47 |
| raymondjtoth3 | gogeta, understand me | 00:47 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: That did it - I put 192.168.0.254 in /etc/resolv.conf and now I can get grub again | 00:47 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: same thing at login slect something else from session | 00:47 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: apt-get install grub --fix-missing is working :) | 00:48 |
| raymondjtoth3 | gogeta wht other one recamend to me | 00:48 |
| raymondjtoth3 | i see bunch in there | 00:48 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: are you in lxde now? | 00:48 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: it should be alot faster | 00:48 |
| penguin_03 | tamale1, hopefully it will work for you again :) glad i could help | 00:48 |
| Dj_FlyBy | how does one figure out why a filesystem would suddenly mount as read only instead of read write | 00:48 |
| raymondjtoth3 | gogeta, im in light waight desktop | 00:48 |
| raymondjtoth3 | and dont see sound or haave sound | 00:48 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: Ok, run update-grub one more time and then reboot? | 00:48 |
| raymondjtoth3 | how i get that back | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | tamale1: It's unfortunately wrong. You want "apt-get install grub-pc". | 00:49 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: it should chck to see if its muted | 00:49 |
| gogeta | check | 00:49 |
| raymondjtoth3 | gogeta, how i do that | 00:49 |
| raymondjtoth3 | i donmt see it on task bar\ | 00:49 |
| raymondjtoth3 | i dont know this ldex | 00:49 |
| raymondjtoth3 | or what ever called | 00:49 |
| raymondjtoth3 | gogeta, what i do thanks ubuntu desktop saw it | 00:50 |
| tamale1 | Jordan_U: why's that? This seems to have worked.. I just ran "grub-install" and it seems like it did something | 00:50 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: you can do alsamixer | 00:50 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: but should be a vulom icon to the right | 00:50 |
| raymondjtoth3 | how i get that | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | tamale1: The "grub" package contains grub legacy. Ubuntu currently uses grub2, which is from the "grub-pc" package. | 00:50 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: from any console | 00:50 |
| raymondjtoth3 | i dont see volume at all | 00:50 |
| raymondjtoth3 | on right | 00:50 |
| raymondjtoth3 | how i install that gogeta | 00:50 |
| tamale1 | Jordan_U: ugh. | 00:51 |
| === Dorito is now known as Dorito_ | ||
| FrozenFire | Is there a way to force the system to recompile the kernel? And yes, I really do need to :P | 00:51 |
| FrozenFire | Somehow, somewhere, a module got compiled in that just won't go away, and it needs to. | 00:51 |
| === Dorito_ is now known as Dorito | ||
| raymondjtoth3 | gogeta, how i do that thanks install it | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | FrozenFire: What problem are you actually having? | 00:52 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: did you use sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 00:52 |
| joshmc | raymondjtoth3: you should already have ` alsamixer `, just open up a terminal (probably lxterminal, if you're using lxde), and type in alsamixer | 00:52 |
| the_ant | hey, i just install project-open on my laptop. and for some reason i need to remove it. i install using step from here http://www.project-open.org/documentation/install_ubuntu badly i forget to write log. | 00:52 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: thats the compleate package with all the ectras | 00:52 |
| gogeta | extras | 00:52 |
| tamale1 | Jordan_U: It would appear you were right - I'm at a 'grub>' prompt now after rebooting.. | 00:52 |
| FrozenFire | Jordan_U, I'm pretty sure that when I was running xorg-edgers packages, it compiled the binary nvidia kernel in somehow. Right now, it's stuck as a "permanent" module. | 00:53 |
| tamale1 | Jordan_U: not very helpful :[ | 00:53 |
| FrozenFire | I need to be able to unload it. | 00:53 |
| gogeta | raymondjtoth3: o figured just the wm would work guess not | 00:53 |
| gogeta | i | 00:53 |
| FrozenFire | I suspect that if I recompile the kernel, it'll fix this problem. | 00:53 |
| MrKeuner | hi, is there a graphical replacement for write command? | 00:53 |
| o85 | could someone check if its posible to allow ssh before enabling UFW? | 00:53 |
| MrKeuner | hi, is there a graphical replacement for write command? that users of the same system can use to message each other? | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | tamale1: At that prompt run "kernel /boot/grub/core.img" hit return, then run "boot". Or just chroot in again from the live install and install grub-pc. | 00:54 |
| tamale1 | Jordan_U: I'm trying grub-pc ;) | 00:54 |
| gogeta | o85: it seems thats the case you can pass commands before enabling | 00:55 |
| gogeta | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | 00:55 |
| foul_owl | gogeta: alright, the connection works | 00:57 |
| foul_owl | and i can ping my router | 00:57 |
| foul_owl | but i can't ping google | 00:57 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: your firewall might need to be pned | 00:57 |
| gogeta | opned | 00:57 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: if the host machine is set for other pcs connect or shared howevere they word it | 00:58 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: it should let you use the other box to get online | 00:58 |
| foul_owl | firewall on my netbook? | 00:58 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: just try apt-get install wicd | 00:59 |
| tamale1 | I got two warnings - "Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionliss disk or to a partition. This is a BAD idea.." | 00:59 |
| freUderico | gff | 00:59 |
| gogeta | tamale1: it goes on the mbr | 00:59 |
| tamale1 | and "Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use i discouraged." | 00:59 |
| foul_owl | can't resolve package repos | 00:59 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: is the host box set as a icd? | 00:59 |
| foul_owl | something dns related? | 00:59 |
| gogeta | ics | 00:59 |
| tamale1 | gogeta: come again? | 00:59 |
| foul_owl | which box the host, and what is an icd | 01:00 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: the one thats the roughter needs to be set as other pcs connect o this connection | 01:00 |
| gogeta | to | 01:00 |
| foul_owl | its totally dns related, i can ping google if its just the IP | 01:00 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: normaly that setting fixxes dns issues | 01:01 |
| foul_owl | so i have my netbook acting as a relay, and then i have my broken computer | 01:01 |
| mamece2 | help, i just got vertical lines when i execute X | 01:01 |
| gogeta | yea | 01:01 |
| foul_owl | which computer needs to be modified | 01:01 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: the relay in the network settings delete all the wired settings then add a new one in the ip settings slect other pcs use this connection | 01:02 |
| foul_owl | did that | 01:02 |
| gogeta | foul_owl: then reconnect it | 01:02 |
| foul_owl | i made a new connection just for the relay | 01:03 |

| Barbariandude | FrozenFire, what error is it spitting out? | 01:16 |
| FrozenFire | Barbariandude, Permission denied | 01:16 |
| Barbariandude | huh | 01:16 |
| FrozenFire | sudo echo '\_SB.PCI0.POP2.PEGP._OFF' > /proc/acpi/call | 01:16 |
| FrozenFire | Funny enough, if I open the descriptor in nano, I can write to it o.O | 01:17 |
| FrozenFire | Hmm, if I sudo -s (ascend to root), it works. | 01:17 |
| FrozenFire | Apparently it just doesn't like sudo | 01:17 |
| penguin_03 | Peyam, HDMI probably wont "just work" i recommend using a VGA or DVI connector to get it set up using HDMI or doing the configuration over ssh | 01:17 |
| Barbariandude | FrozenFire, maybe this? http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/permission-denied-as-root/10181.html | 01:18 |
| foul_owl | ok i copied the network manager deb over with ssh. hopefully reinstalling the network manager will fix my problem, or at least be enough to get me wired connectivity to install wicd haha | 01:18 |
| FrozenFire | Barbariandude, I figured it out, though the reason for it isn't clear. | 01:18 |
| Peyam | penguin_03: I have VGA but i dont want to see. i wana hear as well | 01:18 |

| Barbariandude | FrozenFire, according to that link, the file permissions need to allow what you're trying to do as that user regardless of sudo or not | 01:20 |

| Noliec | Got no OS's at all installed. | 01:24 |
| tamale1 | penguin_03: I think I'm going to need an expert. Last time I tried to recover from failed drive in my RAID5 array I lost everything :( | 01:24 |

| penguin_03 | tamale1, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/mdadm.conf.5.html may also be helpful | 01:25 |

| ekontsevoy | How do I tell ubuntu to start ssh *after* all network interfaces have been initialized? Right now it does the opposite: sshd starts much earlier and then keeps restarting on each interface going up. This makes reboots terribly slow: I have 64 IPs on this machine. | 01:26 |
| FrozenFire | These Optimus graphics are utterly retarded. There's apparently no way to turn them off except to give them some 3D data to render, and then stop doing so. | 01:26 |
| FrozenFire | There are no ACPI calls that I can find which will address this hardware. | 01:27 |

| Barbariandude | Noliec, just had a quick dig around, didn't find anything | 01:29 |
| Noliec | That is sad news :( | 01:29 |
| Guest89140 | The 64-bit install hangs if you choose the live cd | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | Noliec: No, and in general it's more efficient to state what problem you're having if you are. | 01:29 |
| Noliec | Well, I don't really know the problem since Ubuntu is not stating anything. | 01:30 |
| Guest89140 | if you're installing it on a netbook I would suggest a lighter alternative though | 01:30 |
| Guest89140 | Lubuntu, crunchbang, etc | 01:30 |

| MatthewB__ | Well, when I boot backlight is nice and bright. As soon as I change the backlight's brightness the maximum lowers DRASTICALLY. | 02:05 |
| MatthewB__ | It starts at the max it uses in windows. And then I'd say it only gets 1/4th as bright as max on the highest setting on Ubuntu. | 02:05 |
| rhinos | having network issues can anyone help | 02:06 |
| MatthewB__ | Also I was having my doubts about Unity in earlier versions, but it's coming out very nicely. | 02:06 |
| robin0800 | capleton: have you tried a wild card instead of the number if that dosen't work you may have to write a script to do it | 02:07 |

| excelsior | Is it worth it to upgrade Firefox from 3.6 to ?? | 02:38 |
| gogeta | excelsior: ff changed there relese numbers so relly latest is just latest so yes | 02:39 |
| gogeta | excelsior: so even a small update will be like firefox 10 | 02:39 |
| excelsior | gogeta: how should I upgrade? Uninstall and then install a .deb? | 02:40 |
| gogeta | excelsior: becouse they wanna be like google chrome for some reasion | 02:40 |
| gogeta | excelsior: it should just update itself | 02:40 |
| xangua | !fx6 | excelsior | 02:40 |
| ubottu | excelsior: Firefox 6 has been released as a security update for 11.04. For 10.04 and 10.10, you can use the unofficial and unsupported PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable | 02:40 |

| gogeta | or that | 02:40 |

| arnpro | hey guys, an apt-get is trying to remove a package that I wrongly deleted it's data, so I'd like to take it's removal out of the way from the apt-get operation, what's the name of that file you can edit for that??? | 02:41 |
| xangua | excelsior: the ppa has latest stable fx, but there is no fx8 factoid | 02:41 |
| gogeta | excelsior: it does just looked | 02:42 |
| excelsior | what's better, a ppa or a .deb? | 02:42 |
| gogeta | excelsior: ppa is a deb its just a unoffical repo it will install via apt-get | 02:42 |
| gogeta | excelsior: or in this case update | 02:43 |
| FrozenFire | excelsior, That's sort of like asking "What's better? An apple or a basket" | 02:43 |
| FrozenFire | A ppa is a repository for debs | 02:43 |
| excelsior | so I'm downloading the .deb at the moment, is that supported? | 02:44 |
| gogeta | excelsior: yes you can do it with a deb | 02:44 |
| FrozenFire | excelsior, Certainly, but it won't come with the ability to update. | 02:44 |

| xangua | excelsior: no idea what deb are you talking about | 02:44 |
| === Guest16071 is now known as jeremygau | ||
| FrozenFire | Exception being if it adds a ppa during its install process. | 02:44 |
| gogeta | excelsior: 3rd party debs are unsupported officaly | 02:44 |
| excelsior | everytime I deal with a ppa I have to look up how to set it up again. the .deb is from mozilla.com | 02:44 |
| === jeremygau is now known as jeremykao | ||
| FrozenFire | excelsior, ppas are simple to install | 02:45 |
| FrozenFire | "add-apt-repository <ppaname>" | 02:45 |
| gogeta | excelsior: most ppa sites have the commands just copy and past | 02:45 |
| excelsior | yeah, but .deb's are simpler, just download and doubleclick. | 02:45 |
| xangua | excelsior: mozilla doesn't gives you a deb | 02:45 |
| gogeta | excelsior: and 11/10 you just click it and it adds | 02:45 |
| webnet | excelsior, agreed. i find debs to be nice :) | 02:45 |
| excelsior | ok, so what's the ppa? | 02:45 |
| arnpro | does anyone know how to edit apt-get operation file???? I need to take out a package removal instruction | 02:46 |
| excelsior | I assumed the .deb would be in the tar.bz2... | 02:46 |
| gogeta | excelsior: no debs are compressed aruldy taring it would be redundent | 02:46 |
| arnpro | excelsior: you can take a look at this: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ubuntu-ppa-technology-explained/ | 02:47 |
| gogeta | Ampelbein: apt-get remove package | 02:47 |
| OerHeks | excelsior, a tar.bz2 sounds more like the sourcecode. | 02:47 |
| excelsior | boo, no compiling for me | 02:47 |

| gogeta | mr_pacman: prmary or local makes no deffence | 02:54 |
| gogeta | logical | 02:54 |
| gogeta | mr_pacman: the max is 8 | 02:54 |
| OerHeks | sanjay without key you can try it 30 days | 02:54 |
| bucky | mr_pacman, making sda4 an extended partition and adding logical partitions inside of it will not give you any more "room" | 02:54 |
| bucky | mr_pacman, how big is sda4 ? | 02:54 |
| wwb | have no effect | 02:54 |

| gogeta | mr_pacman: ill say it again add a extended then you can make 4 more but thats the max any hdd can do | 02:55 |
| Zutara | Arm0ur: can't be done. | 02:55 |
| OerHeks | wwb as your error says:not recommended | 02:55 |
| bucky | mr_pacman, how big does 10000.27* mean in windows speak, sorry i don't know | 02:55 |
| mr_pacman | gogeta,if primary and logical makes no difference,what should i do,in this case http://pastebin.com/6bq0beDi to have more partitions? | 02:56 |
| OerHeks | sanjay ofcourse, open office/ libre office | 02:56 |
| gogeta | mr_pacman: i just told you | 02:56 |
| |Anthony| | Arm0ur, that's a great show btw | 02:56 |
| webnet | excelsior, do you know how to compile? (No offense :) but i have to ask.) | 02:56 |

| wwb | get it | 02:56 |
| Arm0ur | Zutara: :( Absolutely no way ? | 02:56 |
| gogeta | mr_pacman: add a extended partation its in the list of partations | 02:56 |
| sanjay | OerHeks, I already installed Libre oofice.. But I can't open n other all my documents in other pc... I think it is not compatible with other O.S | 02:57 |
| mr_pacman | gogeta,i cannot use that,it's unusale | 02:57 |
| Zutara | Don't know. I just know that I tried to a while ago and it didn't work | 02:57 |
| mr_pacman | unusable* | 02:57 |

| tamale1 | Hello everyone, when I add any of my 2TB sata drives that were a part of my mdadm RAID5 array, (in addition to the single 300gb system IDE drive), my computer won't boot at all - either from the boot drive OR from a USB live stick. If I take the 2TB sata drive out of the system completely, then the computer boots fine from the IDE drive or the USB live stick. I'm stuck because I want to recover my RAID5 array.. help please! | 03:18 |

| tamale1 | Is there an option to ignore other drives on start-up I could give to GRUB? | 03:20 |
| tamale1 | it's like the addition of the drive is borking the startup process | 03:21 |
| mquinn27 | tamale1: if GRUB is using (e.g.) hd1 instead of the UUID, maybe the drive names got changed? | 03:21 |

| Abhijit | msween00, you can try a network boot | 04:01 |
| Abhijit | !pxe | msween00 | 04:01 |
| mr_pacman | i think the answer is nope | 04:01 |
| Abhijit | :-( | 04:01 |
| mactrent | mr_pacman, You can copy a partition to an extended one, but not simply make it extended. | 04:01 |
| msween00 | pxe is what im looking for? | 04:01 |

| Abhijit | theare are 3 more links | 04:02 |
| Jordan_U | mr_pacman: Yes (if you really meant primary to logical within an extended partition), though it depends on circumstances, is not easy, and things could be more complecated if it's a Windows boot partition. | 04:03 |

| msween00 | urlin2u: i tried hitting F12, but it didn't register | 04:03 |
| mr_pacman | no,it's not the windows partition,is the linux one...i installed linux as primary,not extended..the goal is o make the linux primary become extended | 04:03 |
| Abhijit | msween00, yes pxe is what you need | 04:04 |
| msween00 | heh looks like i have a lot of reading | 04:04 |
| === edwin is now known as Guest94129 | ||
| urlin2u | msween00, have you looked on the web for other key prompts for this gui, some computers use esc, some a couple of keys. | 04:04 |
| mr_pacman | how can i do that?create a new extended and move the linux into it? | 04:04 |
| Jordan_U | mr_pacman: To clarify terminology, you can't have a filesystem on an "extended" partition. Extended partitions hold logical partitions, and fileystems can be either on primary or logical partitions. | 04:05 |
| michaeljwjr | is there an ubuntu games channel? Or any good source of linux games? | 04:05 |
| msween00 | urlin2u: it's just a blank screen, esc gives me some boot choice, but only OS's.. has win7 listed nothing else | 04:05 |
| Jordan_U | !games | michaeljwjr | 04:05 |
| ubottu | michaeljwjr: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ | 04:05 |
| msween00 | also netboot doesn't seem very practical for me.. i'll just wait till i can grab a flash drive | 04:05 |
| Abhijit | michaeljwjr, playdeb.net | 04:06 |
| msween00 | and hope that works | 04:06 |
| mr_pacman | Jordan_U,i understand...extended is just a place holder,is not an actual partition...to fill with logical partitions...what would be the difference to make logical or primary inside the extended? | 04:06 |
| bucky | mr_pacman, you can't make a primary partition inside an extended partition... only a logical one... but the logical behaves the same in practice | 04:08 |
| mr_pacman | i see,ty bucky,s inside the extended goes only logicals | 04:08 |
| bucky | yes! | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | mr_pacman: One way that I can think of to do it, which leaves a lot of room for human error and bad things, would be to open fdisk, note the starting and ending sectors of the current partition, "delete" this partition entry, make a new extended partition entry, then make a new logical partition entry and make sure that the new logical partition entry has the same start and end sectors as the old primary. | 04:09 |
| Jordan_U | mr_pacman: After doing this you will also need to re-install grub. | 04:09 |
| mr_pacman | i see,ty | 04:09 |
| edusachs | hey | 04:10 |
| bucky | Jordan_U, i think he's got 10G tied up in swap and he wants to use it for his file system or maybe he wants to put his /home down there so he can save it in the event of a re install | 04:10 |
| mr_pacman | or maybe just do a backup,format all,rebuild partiton,than restore the dump | 04:11 |
| fenrrir | hi guys! i have a problem with ubuntu 11.10 and ati radeon 6470. My cooler/fan never stop. I'm echo OFF to vgaswitchroo on boot already | 04:12 |
| bucky | mr_pacman, or just use gparted to shrink sd4 and let / breath a little | 04:12 |
| Jordan_U | mr_pacman: Just using fdisk has the advantage of taking almost no time as none of the data contained in the partition needs to be copied. | 04:12 |

| wolfric | Andy-: what do you mean o.O | 04:39 |
| pythonirc1011 | And the problem is that my machine is behind a virtualbox | 04:39 |
| wolfric | Andy-: you mean there isn't much you can do without an operating system? | 04:39 |
| wolfric | pythonirc1011: change the ip range that you give out with dhcp and set the ubuntu box to static ip | 04:40 |
| wolfric | pythonirc1011: there may also be an option to set restricted ip addresses | 04:41 |
| wolfric | as in "this ip cannot be used for dhcp" but all the addresses around it can. If not sure just use like 10 to 110 or some range that goes up to just below the ip you want | 04:41 |
| pythonirc1011 | wolfric: I think I've narrowed down the problem further...My windows box is getting a static ip. My ssh port is now forwarded to the windows box. What I want to do is forward that ssh port to my virtualbox guest - ubuntu | 04:42 |
| pythonirc1011 | any ideas how I can do this | 04:42 |
| wolfric | i've no idea what you're talking about tbh, what does "my ssh port" refer to? | 04:43 |
| wolfric | oh you mean port forwarded by your router? | 04:43 |
| pythonirc1011 | ok - I've a linksys router -> windows machine -> hosting a ubuntu box | 04:43 |
| pythonirc1011 | I want to ssh from outside this network into the ubuntu box | 04:44 |
| wolfric | just change the ip in nat/port forward to use the ubuntu machines ip not the windows ip | 04:44 |
| ceti331 | anyone know how to modify boot order in grub | 04:44 |
| wolfric | doesn't matter it's in virtualbox. your router doesn't know the difference | 04:44 |
| wolfric | ceti331: which grub verison? 2/3? | 04:44 |
| pythonirc1011 | the problem is to make virtualbox trap the ssh packets and forward them to ubuntu | 04:44 |
| wolfric | pythonirc1011: no that isn't a problem | 04:44 |
| wolfric | pythonirc1011: oh wait... when you start up your virtualbox ubuntu instance... bottom right cornor? you should see a networking symbol | 04:45 |
| pythonirc1011 | yes | 04:45 |
| ceti331 | just checking now.. | 04:45 |
| ceti331 | 1.98 | 04:45 |
| wolfric | right or right click or something and see what it's set to. If it's set to nat, change it to bridged adapter | 04:45 |
| ceti331 | maybe i should just try a recent install | 04:45 |
| pythonirc1011 | wolfric: it's a Attached to NAT connection | 04:45 |
| wolfric | pythonirc1011: change it to bridged adapter and it should get an ip in the same range as your windows machine | 04:46 |
| qwebirc50389 | hello everyone.. i am new to linux and i really need help. i just installed "Pinguy OS" and I am getting an error... i "paste binned" it. -- http://pastebin.com/bkCqXMU8 | 04:46 |
| wolfric | pythonirc1011: then it will be as if it was plugged in the same way your windows machine is. No different to having a dedicated machine instead of virtualbox as far as networking goes | 04:47 |
| qwebirc50389 | i have no idea what is going on.. but it looks bad | 04:47 |
| qwebirc50389 | and i need to fix it | 04:47 |
| ceti331 | Anyone know how to remove grub from windows? | 04:47 |
| wolfric | qwebirc50389: this isn't #PinguyOS. try #linux or the Pinguy OS website | 04:47 |
| LilleCarl_ | ceti331, gurb has nothing to do with windows | 04:47 |
| qwebirc50389 | wolfric: I have... and no one is responding :) | 04:48 |
| qwebirc50389 | eeck... i meant :( | 04:48 |
| qwebirc50389 | please just take a look and tell me an idea? | 04:48 |
| ceti331 | i mean, once you've booted windows is it possible to remove grub | 04:48 |
| ceti331 | from within windows | 04:48 |

| qwebirc50389 | it has to do with software sources? | 04:48 |

| wolfric | ircclouder: which machine/ip are you running that from? | 04:49 |
| Vustom | When I type sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt && sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type", Ubuntu is on /dev/sda3 and I'm trying to reinstall grub on /dev/sda | 04:49 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: and which machine/ip are you pinging from | 04:49 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: that's from the other machine (192.168.1.1) | 04:49 |
| ircclouder | 192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.1.2 | 04:49 |

| qwebirc50389 | wolfric: it is ubuntu tho? | 04:51 |
| wolfric | qwebirc50389: no ubuntu is a different operating system | 04:51 |
| qwebirc50389 | oh... | 04:51 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: yes it is however machine b is not sending ping echo reply to machine a. | 04:51 |
| qwebirc50389 | ugh | 04:51 |
| Hatori | Vustom specify file system type | 04:51 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: ifconfig -a on machien b | 04:52 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: and pastebin | 04:52 |
| bucky | Vustom, did you format with ext4 ? then mount -t ext4 | 04:52 |
| Vustom | bucky: Hatori: In gparted it says /dev/sda3 is extended, but there | 04:52 |
| Shammancer | does ubuntu support this processor? | 04:53 |
| Vustom | 's like a dropdown box, with /dev/sda5 and that's ext4 | 04:53 |
| Shammancer | BX80524P466128\ | 04:53 |
| Vustom | and then under that is /dev/sda6 which is linux-swap | 04:53 |
| Shammancer | It is an old intel processor | 04:53 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/519127/ | 04:53 |
| Vustom | Hatori: bucky: Is this correct? sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /mnt && sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 04:54 |
| bucky | Vustom, i can't remember if gparted tells the filesystem type... try mount -a | 04:54 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: what happens if you try ping back from machine b to machine a? | 04:54 |
| Hatori | Past it with -t flags | 04:54 |
| bucky | -a is auto ...it will try to guess if you don't know | 04:54 |
| Vustom | bucky: It does.. it's right next to the parititon area, says ntfs, fat32, etc | 04:54 |
| Phr0zen_Pengu1n | Hello Penguins | 04:54 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: i don't get the ping replies back to machine b. although wireshark shows that machine a has indeed sent the reply back. i'll show what i mean | 04:55 |
| Phr0zen_Pengu1n | Glad to see yall. | 04:55 |
| Phr0zen_Pengu1n | :) | 04:55 |

| ircclouder | .... followed by .... icmp: echo reply | 04:55 |
| ircclouder | (well, i can't paste from machine a0 | 04:56 |
| bucky | Vustom, what is your filesystem on that partition... I thought you were trying to mount /dev/sda3 not /dev/sda5 ..which one? | 04:56 |
| ircclouder | machine a) | 04:56 |
| shreyansh | @all - i am having 2 audio socket and 1 external mic socket.... i suddenly noticed that my centre audio socket is not working.. though its working in windows.. i have dual OS .. i am currently on 11.04 | 04:56 |
| Vustom | sda5, I got it wrong, and it's ext4 | 04:56 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: forget about ping replies for a sec | 04:56 |
| bucky | Vustom, ok mount -t ext4 yada yada yada | 04:56 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: so on machine a, you send a ping... you run wireshark on machine b and see the ping but that same machine you're running wireshark on (machine b) isn't responding? what happens if the whole thing is in reverse | 04:56 |
| Vustom | k, that worked, thanks bucky and Hatori :) | 04:57 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: run wireshark on machine a, ping machine a from machine b and see what happens. | 04:57 |
| Pengu1n_Phr0zen | Sup? | 04:57 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: also iptables -L -v and make sure you're not blocking icmp | 04:57 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: good idea. one moment. | 04:57 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: because actually... they sound like they're connected | 04:57 |
| Hatori | Great works vustom | 04:57 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: because you wouldn't be able to ping the machine if it didn't already get the mac address... (seeing that they're on the same subnet) | 04:58 |
| wolfric | you'd get no route to host and constantly see arp lookups | 04:58 |
| wolfric | so it sounds like they are talking just no responding to ping | 04:58 |
| nando | Hello everyone. Is it just me or is 11.10 show as can be? Thinking about downgrading to 10.10 | 04:59 |
| Hatori | Nando.why? | 04:59 |
| wolfric | nando: just you | 04:59 |
| wolfric | nando: it's buggy but (and i assume you did misspell here) slow? No not that i can see | 04:59 |
| nando | Hatori, wolfric what hardware are you guys running? | 04:59 |
| wolfric | nando: and i'm biased against 11.10 even so if it was, i'd definitely say it | 04:59 |
| jen_ | question | 05:00 |
| wolfric | jen_: answer | 05:00 |
| jen_ | why does my computer keep making an annoying clicking sound? | 05:00 |
| wolfric | nando: how specific do you want | 05:00 |
| wolfric | jen_: go to youtube and search for click of death. make sure it doesn't sound like that | 05:00 |
| wolfric | jen_: if it does, it's a sign your hard drive is failing/failed. Is it coming out of your speakers? | 05:00 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: here's the situation. ping a from b. wireshark on machine a, echo request and reply are going out from a but never receiving on b. | 05:01 |
| nando | wolfric, well lets just say this.. I ran 10.10 perfectly smooth. And now this is crashing like that OS of which we do not speak LOL. Its a Pentium M @ 1.something with 1GB RAM and plenty of HD space... | 05:01 |
| jen_ | oh god | 05:01 |
| wolfric | nando: report a bug then | 05:02 |
| jen_ | it might... | 05:02 |
| * Phr0zen_Pengu1n never knew IRC was this much fun. | 05:02 | |
| wolfric | jen_: back up your data FAST... | 05:02 |
| jen_ | its been doing it for a while :O | 05:02 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: don't run wireshark on the same machine you're pinging from | 05:02 |
| jen_ | why i just got this computer this year! | 05:02 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: you told me you were running on machine b and pinging from machine a | 05:02 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: i didn't | 05:02 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: heh. | 05:02 |
| wolfric | jen_: then it should be under warrenty. Backup data and send it back | 05:02 |
| nando | wolfric, IDK what it is. Its just slow as crap. Its laggy and its a fresh install. Ive installed twice.. Perhaps had to do with the fact that I have full drive encryption? | 05:03 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: running wirehsark on the .1 | 05:03 |
| ircclouder | ping .1 from .2 | 05:03 |
| ircclouder | ping request,reply going *out* from .1 but never seeing it on .2 | 05:03 |
| jen_ | I doubt that >.< | 05:03 |
| fishcooker | forza barcelona :p | 05:04 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: when you say echo request and reply going on, just put the source or destination in there to help me keep track.. do you mean if you ping from .2 to .1.... .1 responds ? | 05:04 |
| jen_ | maybe it will stop | 05:04 |
| wolfric | nando: go back to 11.04 but report the bug | 05:04 |
| fishcooker | is there link .. i want to read changelog between 10.4.2 10.4.3 ubuntu | 05:04 |
| wolfric | jen_: lol no your hard drive will go kaput | 05:04 |
| fishcooker | ? | 05:04 |
| wolfric | jen_: although i have to say, usually when it's the click of death, your hard drive is already dead. Can you record the sound? when does it happen? | 05:04 |
| fishcooker | anyone | 05:05 |
| nando | wolfric, Ive never reported a bug before IDK how. But what do I tell them? IDK what is causing the problem. | 05:05 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: pinging .1 from .2, request coming in, reply going out on .1 but .2 never sees the reply. | 05:05 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: iptables on .2? | 05:05 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: but hold on... .2 does see inital pings right? | 05:05 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: iptables -L -n shows nothing. should i check something else? | 05:05 |
| jen_ | now its not doing it | 05:05 |
| jen_ | hmm its been doing it for a while | 05:06 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: you were saying when .1 pings .2.... .2 sees the ping but doesn't respond... so .2 is seing incoming ping requests but not incoming ping responses? lol | 05:06 |
| jen_ | my computer seems to run fine | 05:06 |
| wolfric | jen_: record it and put it online so we can hear it | 05:06 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: yes. spot on :) | 05:06 |
| wolfric | nando: try posting on the ubuntu forums at least | 05:06 |
| jen_ | LOL! now its not doing it | 05:06 |
| jen_ | wait....I think it does it when I have a butt load of tabs up | 05:07 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: what... the...fuck? ok forget about ping just use a service | 05:07 |
| jen_ | lemme try it | 05:07 |
| nando | wolfric, okay I will. Thanks wolfric | 05:07 |

| ajin | hi there | 05:07 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: it sounds like you have icmp blocked but established connections allow... what did you see in your iptables on .2? | 05:07 |
| jen_ | I think...Im not sure but its been doing that since I've gotten oneiric | 05:08 |
| jen_ | maybe | 05:08 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: o.O why are you doing `which tcpdump`...? why not just do tcpdump | 05:08 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: none standard build | 05:08 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: humor me | 05:08 |
| ircclouder | lol | 05:08 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: nothing on iptables | 05:09 |
| wolfric | jen_: is it definitely coming from the computer or could it be coming from speakers | 05:09 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: ok, just run a web server then or something | 05:09 |
| jen_ | speakers maybe? | 05:09 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: apache2 should work fine. | 05:09 |
| jen_ | thats what it sounds like | 05:09 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: on .1 | 05:09 |
| ircclouder | ? | 05:09 |
| wolfric | jen_: oh, try runing up/down the volume and see what hapens | 05:09 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: either/both | 05:09 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: good idea | 05:10 |

| niddlex | how I can do it? | 05:12 |
| wolfric | jen_: can you find something that triggers it? like a key press? | 05:12 |
| jen_ | oh! | 05:12 |

| hopstafarian | wolfric, uh..assuming that you meant the quotes metaphorically (on accounta i didn't use that phrase)..that apparently is my problem...where should i start?...i but in ubuntu install cd, and cant get to an install option, unless i regress to karmic...which starts up from the live cd, goes through the install process, and then fails on the post install reboot...what part of "new to this" implied that i should know by now? | 05:31 |

| yeats | !nomodeset | hopstafarian - try this | 05:33 |
| ubottu | hopstafarian - try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 05:33 |
| hopstafarian | yeats, thank you, reading it now.. | 05:34 |
| abhijain | hello | 05:34 |
| wolfric | hopstafarian: installing fedora and opensuse being signs that you aren't completely new. Give exact error messages or reasons why you think it's failing on reboot | 05:34 |
| satty | hey uys | 05:35 |
| wolfric | hopstafarian: "fails on reboot" = "it doesn't work" | 05:35 |

| abhijain | I am trying to install ubuntu 11.10 as guest operating system with vmware but its giving error on installtion screen that smbus is not enabled from controller or host | 05:36 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: what happened when you installed apache2 on both of them and tried to go from one to the other?> | 05:36 |
| greggawatt | hi all, i screwed up my display settings, how do i change displaysettings via command line | 05:36 |
| Shammancer | Ok so I got myself an old Ubuntu CD loading 10.10. Could anyone tell me how to install ubuntu without the gui and will updating to 11.10 be easy without a GUI | 05:37 |
| yeats | abhijain: try asking in #vmware | 05:37 |
| wolfric | Shammancer: why 10.10? just had it lying around? | 05:37 |
| Shammancer | yup | 05:37 |
| Shammancer | dont feel like burning another cd | 05:37 |

| clear` | not all computers support usb boot do they? | 05:39 |
| Shammancer | You would think that would work on the computer I am booting on its 11 years old | 05:39 |

| UncleTuna | anyone familiar with nvidia graphics cards-drivers and the 11.10 64bit OS version? System info won't detect or show my display. | 05:40 |
| bucky | Shammancer, you could do a minimun install, about 700M worth and upgrade | 05:40 |
| yeats | !nvidia | UncleTuna | 05:40 |
| hopstafarian | wolfric, touche...ok...shuts down, goes through bios, says it's loading grub, a brief logo, them black screen, and a couple of hits on the hd led every 45 secs or so...? | 05:40 |
| ubottu | UncleTuna: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 05:40 |
| HowardTheDuck | hey, does Ubuntu work with laptops with Optimus switchable graphics now? | 05:40 |
| wolfric | bucky: minimum is about 70 megs afaik | 05:41 |
| UncleTuna | ty ubottu | 05:41 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: don't you see any problem with route -n? | 05:41 |
| Shammancer | No one has told me how to not install it without a gui | 05:41 |
| kimp | UncleTuna: I found that 11.10 was no good with ATI Radeon. I had to drop back to 10.04 | 05:41 |
| wolfric | hopstafarian: what about safe mode grub option? | 05:41 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: no | 05:41 |
| mquinn27 | has anybody here installed 11.10 or 12.04 on a system with a Radeon HD 6950? | 05:42 |
| bucky | wolfric, i just did a lucid install and opted to not install any packages after the base install.. it was 660 M | 05:42 |
| yeats | Shammancer: you can't install without the GUI if you have a desktop install DC | 05:42 |
| Shammancer | oh | 05:42 |
| mquinn27 | I can't get either to install (nor have I had any success with any other distro) | 05:42 |
| yeats | s/DC/CD/ | 05:42 |
| Shammancer | Could you just uninstall the gui? | 05:42 |
| hopstafarian | wolfric doesn't show the grub menu, can't get it to show through keypresses.. | 05:42 |
| hopstafarian | wolfric, esc, right? | 05:42 |
| yeats | Shammancer: yes - but that's not what you asked ;-) | 05:42 |
| wolfric | hopstafarian: i'm sorry i don't know offhand | 05:42 |
| bucky | maybe it kept all the packages in ~/apt/archives i can't remember | 05:43 |
| UncleTuna | sorry, was trying to remember if I had been through that forum already. | 05:43 |
| wolfric | hopstafarian: did you try the link that was given to you earlier (not by me) | 05:43 |
| wolfric | bucky: but you installed a gui which is not base install | 05:43 |
| yeats | Shammancer: if you're trying to avoid using the full-blown ubuntu install disc, you might try the alternate installer or mini.iso | 05:43 |
| bucky | wolfric, nope | 05:43 |
| UncleTuna | Additional drivers clearly shows I'm using an activated, recommended driver yet system info show nil | 05:43 |
| hopstafarian | wolfric, looking at it, but spending time trying to respond to all those generous enough to try to help.. | 05:44 |
| wolfric | bucky: that's... nope you didn't install a gui? | 05:44 |
| bucky | no packages after base except the 111 packages it installed on it's own | 05:44 |
| wolfric | hopstafarian: post on ubuntu forum if you're not getting anywhere. If you're really desperate, you could try seeing if any log files were written by firing up a live cd and going in on the hard drive | 05:45 |
| wolfric | hopstafarian: you could find something handy in /var/log/syslog | 05:45 |
| wolfric | hopstafarian: but good chance it didn't even mount the drive right if it's just showing black | 05:45 |
| wolfric | bucky: so when you boot up, it shows a console screen (no gnome/kde etc) | 05:46 |
| yeats | hopstafarian: shift should get you to the GRUB menu | 05:46 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: situation on .2. i send syn, i recv syn+ack but no ack from .2->.1 | 05:47 |

| ubottu | Alex9527: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw | 05:47 |
| Shammancer | No its just I really want to use ubuntu for the community and stuff its just I want to learn how to use the terminal | 05:48 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: and wireshark on .1 confirms that it is indeed recving syn and pushing out syn+ack to .2 | 05:48 |
| yeats | Shammancer: ah - well, I would install "regular" ubuntu (hardware allowing - you might consider 10.04 if your computer is that old) and use the GNOME terminal | 05:49 |
| Jazanyc | Can anyone help me with sorround sound configuration in ubuntu? | 05:49 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: and running wireshark on wlan0, do any of the packets come out there (i'm assuming by the routing table, they don't) | 05:49 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: also, iptables -L -t nat | 05:49 |
| Shammancer | Alright | 05:49 |
| Shammancer | You think 11.10 wont work? | 05:49 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: i have something interesting though. the IP header checksums on .2 (that are going out to .1) are all incorrect. | 05:49 |
| hopstafarian | wolfric, hmm...working on it, but as you've no doubt surmised by now...i'm not the shiniest penny...and at the end of my day, so prolly gonna pop in here again with another stupid ? or 2...thank you for the help! | 05:49 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: also iptables -L -v -t mangle | 05:49 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: ok 1 moment. | 05:50 |
| Jazanyc | I want to be able to watch movies with DTS and Dolby 5.1 | 05:50 |

| yeats | hopstafarian: sure ;-) | 05:50 |
| hopstafarian | yeats, hopefully be back...thank you for the link... | 05:50 |
| Shammancer | Is it because of unity or something else cause if im just using the shell | 05:51 |
| Jazanyc | I tried the wiki pages with no luck. | 05:51 |
| ircclouder | wolfric, http://paste.pocoo.org/show/519148/ | 05:51 |
| Jazanyc | can anyone help? | 05:52 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: i am getting DNS queries going out on wlan0 because 10.1.1.1 is the resolver | 05:52 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: that's fine nothing wrong with that | 05:52 |
| yeats | Shammancer: unity is what I have in mind, yes - feel free to install and see what happens - I just know a lot of people on older machines (esp. older video cards) are having issues with 11.10 | 05:53 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: i fixed that in .2 by /etc/host'ing it | 05:53 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: yep | 05:53 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: i fixed that in *.1* by /etc/host'ing it | 05:53 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: i'm a bit confused myself tbh | 05:53 |
| ircclouder | lol | 05:53 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: btw, mac addresses are all correct yeah? | 05:53 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: if you look at wireshark frames | 05:53 |
| yeats | Shammancer: you would probably avoid those problems by going with xubuntu or lubuntu, though | 05:53 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: yep. no change. | 05:53 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: time to check logs i guess | 05:54 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: that sounds like either i'm missing something very obvious or you have some f-ed up driver or hardware issue | 05:54 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: no probably not hardware, more likely the network stack. check /var/log/syslog | 05:54 |
| wolfric | and dmesg | 05:54 |

| wolfric | ircclouder: can you get internet with .2 connected by eth0 to a router or something | 06:01 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: yes. | 06:01 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: this is interesting. Dec 11 15:38:21 tarzan kernel: [52147.072912] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None | 06:02 |

| wolfric | ircclouder: no that's fine | 06:02 |
| Shammancer | Alright thanks yeast I'll take that into consideration | 06:02 |
| wolfric | ircclouder: i'm fairly sure you don't need it however, try a cross over cable if you can get one. Try staticly confuring the ip addresses again and connect via router/switch (just not with dhcp), | 06:04 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: i was thinking about the IP header checksum mismatch because of checksum offload. | 06:04 |
| ircclouder | wolfric: alright. | 06:04 |
| ircclouder | put a switch in between and see. | 06:04 |

| wolfric | WHAT_UP: rsync --partial | 06:07 |
| WHAT_UP | wolfric: doesn't do anything for me. no partial files to be found | 06:08 |
| wolfric | WHAT_UP: also, put && after a command and whatever you put after && will only run if the first command is successful | 06:08 |
| mechbo | anybody know what "Send retweets to all services" does in Gwibber ? | 06:08 |

| ircclouder | wolfric: lemme download new driver for 82567LF | 06:10 |
| wolfric | WHAT_UP: i need to head off sorry. can you not add a && so something to show it succeeded? and --partial doesn't take "partial files", it just means it doesn't delete the stuff it transfers if it stops half way | 06:10 |

| ircclouder | loginix: yeah do that but i would still suggest you report it to the authorieis | 06:18 |
| ircclouder | authorities | 06:18 |
| bullgard4 | Jeaton_: Install the DEB program package gnome-shell, log out and log in. | 06:18 |

| ubottu | Jeaton_:: 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 | 06:19 |

| gogeta | sam22: used to be called tweak ubuntu | 06:46 |
| atruno | is ssh also a transfer protocol ? | 06:47 |
| gogeta | sam22: dunno if its still worked on | 06:47 |
| gogeta | sam22: let yu change a;; kinds of settings including a ui for disabling stuff | 06:47 |
| gogeta | all | 06:47 |
| gogeta | atruno: i beleve so | 06:48 |
| gogeta | atruno: scp file-to-send user@host:/path/to/place/file | 06:49 |
| gogeta | atruno: also if you setup sftp it uses ssh just like ftp | 06:50 |
| gogeta | atruno: and most ftp clients do support sftp | 06:51 |
| bliind | lol so i just put the ubuntu disk in.. picked 'install ubuntu' and screen went off.. disc stopped spinning, still no video.. no backlight either | 06:51 |
| gogeta | bliind: pfft goes the live cd lol | 06:51 |
| gogeta | bliind: probly means you got a newer nivida card and the oss drivers dont work | 06:52 |
| atruno | the problem is the source directory is a windows machine :( | 06:52 |
| atruno | and i'm using xubuntu which doesn't give the option to both merge and skip. | 06:53 |
| bliind | its an amd video card in it | 06:53 |
| bliind | but what bothers me is the backlight turns off too? | 06:53 |
| gogeta | bliind: or even a new amd | 06:53 |
| bliind | how do i resolve this issue? | 06:53 |
| gogeta | bliind: amd osss drivers are a bigger fail then nivida | 06:53 |
| gogeta | bliind: i wish they would just include the closed drivers out of the box but they dont | 06:55 |
| atruno | nvidia is very bad under ubuntu has been my experience a 6180se. no grub screen or boot splash. | 06:55 |
| travisHAZE | Query: How does one change which partition auto-boots when GRUB times out? | 06:55 |
| bliind | heh... i hit the check discs for defects button and it does the same thing | 06:55 |
| bliind | no video, no backlight.. | 06:55 |
| bliind | so i can't install ubuntu? | 06:56 |
| gogeta | bliind: not from the live cd | 06:56 |
| bliind | how then | 06:56 |
| BlueEagle | travis: /etc/defaults/grub | 06:56 |
| gogeta | bliind: you would need to do a alt install then boot into recovery and install the driver | 06:56 |
| gogeta | pain in the ass | 06:57 |
| bliind | yeah that seems a little ridiculous | 06:57 |
| atruno | travisHAZE, you can use the app startupmanager | 06:57 |
| travisHAZE | BlueEagle, I know the file, not how to do it | 06:57 |
| happygolucky | bliind: can't get into install? | 06:57 |
| travisHAZE | atruno, I don't want to alter which apps startup | 06:57 |
| bliind | screen turns off. backlight too | 06:57 |
| travisHAZE | I want to alter which OS auto boots from Grub | 06:57 |
| gogeta | happygolucky: are calssic video display crash being open drivers fail | 06:58 |
| atruno | travis its just an application under ubuntu that manages grub config | 06:58 |
| travisHAZE | Forgot to mention, running Natty not Oneric | 06:58 |
| atruno | travisHAZE, it will work for you | 06:58 |
| happygolucky | bliind: nouveau.blacklist=true as a boot option is my only choice.. i've a nvida gtx card | 06:59 |
| gogeta | bliind: found one | 06:59 |
| gogeta | bliind: http://ubuntureloaded.blogspot.com/ | 06:59 |
| gogeta | bliind: a iso with the nedded drivers | 06:59 |
| bliind | nice. thank you very much | 07:00 |
| BlueEagle | travis: GRUB_DEFAULT takes an index or a label | 07:00 |
| travisHAZE | BlueEagle, huh? GRUB_DEFAULT (inside of /etc/default/grub file) I get | 07:01 |
| travisHAZE | The other, nope | 07:01 |
| gogeta | bliind: nv that just has a sepret driver iso | 07:01 |
| bliind | it's a lot larger - 2.64gb.. | 07:02 |
| bliind | ha. just heard ubuntu log in on the computer with no screen :\ | 07:02 |
| gogeta | bliind: alt f1 | 07:03 |
| gogeta | bliind: if you get a display good things | 07:03 |
| bliind | nope nothin | 07:04 |
| BlueEagle | travis:read the file header for info | 07:04 |
| gogeta | bliind: you try booting into safe mode | 07:04 |
| bliind | hows that? i didnt see taht option | 07:04 |
| gogeta | bliind: yea its there | 07:04 |
| gogeta | bliind: failsafe | 07:04 |
| bliind | oh heh i just noticed your nick. nice ;] | 07:04 |
| gogeta | bliind: kick it into low gfx mode | 07:05 |
| gogeta | bliind: might work | 07:05 |
| bliind | nope... default, help, try ubuntu without installing, install, check for defects, testt memory, boot from hd | 07:05 |
| gogeta | bliind: should be one called failsafe | 07:06 |
| bliind | there is not. looking at the screen right now | 07:06 |
| ownz0rjoo | Anyone have any good resources for clickpad functionality I cannot get multitouch or right click working properly. | 07:06 |
| travisHAZE | BlindEagle, so basically change the 0 to a 1??? | 07:06 |
| travisHAZE | BlueEagle, not Blind Eagle lol | 07:06 |
| bliind | ohhhhh you know what | 07:07 |
| bliind | im sorry i've misled you. i completely forgot myself. im not using a CD.. the CD wouldn't boot. I'm using a usb stick with unetbootin :\ | 07:07 |
| bliind | i still had the cd in the drive so it was spinning up i thought thats what was booting. sorry, that was dumb | 07:08 |
| Jazanyc | can anyone help me to configure s/pdif? | 07:12 |
| Jazanyc | i tried the wiki pages with no luck | 07:12 |
| Pengu1n_Phr0zen | What's a very good channel for C Programming on IRC? | 07:12 |
| jonathon_ | I need to add FreeBSD to my GRUB menu, But I can't figure this out, All I can find involves editing menu.lst, which my grub doesn't use | 07:13 |
| moepigal14h | as | 07:14 |
| moepigal14h | http://bit.ly/uPBolO | 07:14 |
| nac-godfather | edit grub.cfg, not supposed to, your supposed to edit some .40 thingy file, but i just edit grub.cfg in /boot/grub (this is for grub2) | 07:14 |
| Jazanyc | help please | 07:14 |
| nac-godfather | kinda cool that you can easily add backgrounds now. | 07:14 |
| jonathon_ | Ok, But grub.cfg looks pretty confusing | 07:15 |
| nac-godfather | that's about it, i hate grub2 otherwise, way too complicated compared to before | 07:15 |
| nac-godfather | yeah, it's basically the same shit though. | 07:15 |
| jonathon_ | Alright, I'll give it a whirl | 07:15 |
| === patrick_ is now known as packrit | ||
| nac-godfather | I think more advanced stuff like map commands n' stuff might be a little different, but basic location is pretty similar/same | 07:16 |
| bliind | okay i just reinstalled it on the flash drive using the recommended method, so i should have the failsafe option now im assuming | 07:16 |
| bliind | lol, no failsafe, safe mode, nothing... theres an empty advanced options sub menu... :| im upset that i cant install ubuntu | 07:18 |
| TiagoTiago | erm | 07:18 |
| TiagoTiago | ok, hi | 07:18 |
| TiagoTiago | hm, is it working? | 07:18 |
| TiagoTiago | no more error msgs, i guess my msgs is getting thru now | 07:19 |
| TiagoTiago | anyway | 07:19 |
| BlueEagle | travisHAZE: If you change 0 to 1 then the 2nd entry in Grub will be loaded | 07:19 |
| travisHAZE | rgr, ty BlueEagle | 07:20 |
| BlueEagle | travisHAZE: If you change it to 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-33-generic (recovery mode)' then you will always boot into recovery mode for kernel 2.6.32-33 regardless of the index it has. | 07:20 |
| TiagoTiago | After i got a new machine Ubuntu stopped working (i kept the HDDs from the old machine), i finally decided to give up and install over, but the installer kept failing, and Gparted says "ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda3 is mounted. mkfs.ext4: Input/output error ", what should i do? | 07:20 |
| travisHAZE | Will it still by default load GRUB up for x seconds? | 07:21 |
| travisHAZE | (have mine set for 15) | 07:21 |
| BlueEagle | travisHAZE: The lables correspond to the Menuentry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 07:21 |
| silv3r_m00n | the traceroute command on ubuntu shows wrong results , anybody aware of that ? | 07:21 |
| jonathon_ | Does this look about right? | 07:22 |
| jonathon_ | menuentry "FreeBSD" { insmod ufs set root='(hd0,b)' kernel/boot/loader | 07:22 |
| BlueEagle | travisHAZE: info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' | 07:22 |
| jonathon_ | It's not laid out quite like that.... | 07:22 |
| BlueEagle | travisHAZE: Shows you how to set the timeout as well. | 07:22 |
| BlueEagle | travisHAZE: GRUB_TIMEOUT is the one you want | 07:22 |
| travisHAZE | I have a bit of experience with grub | 07:23 |
| TiagoTiago | anyone? | 07:23 |
| travisHAZE | I just needed to know how to change the default booted one | 07:23 |
| travisHAZE | And you taught me | 07:23 |
| BlueEagle | !anyone | TiagoTiago | 07:23 |
| ubottu | TiagoTiago: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 07:23 |
| travisHAZE | So I thank you | 07:23 |
| TiagoTiago | already asked it... | 07:23 |
| BlueEagle | TiagoTiago: Sorry. Didn't see it. ;) | 07:24 |
| TiagoTiago | [05:20] <TiagoTiago> After i got a new machine Ubuntu stopped working (i kept the HDDs from the old machine), i finally decided to give up and install over, but the installer kept failing, and Gparted says "ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda3 is mounted. mkfs.ext4: Input/output error ", what should i do? | 07:24 |
| CrazyThinker | Can I bond two NIC which are connected to separate Gateways and ISPs using ifenslave? | 07:24 |
| BlueEagle | travisHAZE: No, you don't "just need to know how change xxx" you need to know how to read the documentation. ;) | 07:24 |
| BlueEagle | TiagoTiago: Is it mounted? | 07:25 |
| travisHAZE | You said read the comments at the top of the page, here's the top of my grub page | 07:25 |
| TiagoTiago | isn't mentioned by mount | 07:25 |
| travisHAZE | # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update | 07:25 |
| travisHAZE | # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. | 07:25 |
| travisHAZE | Two lines | 07:25 |
| BlueEagle | travisHAZE: Sorry, then they have removed some of the info from when I installed. | 07:26 |
| BlueEagle | That's a shame. | 07:26 |
| TiagoTiago | BlueEagle: it isn't mentioned by mount | 07:27 |
| almoxarife | travisHAZE: # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: # info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' <-- the missing link mentioned | 07:28 |
| jonathon_ | Ok, so fun with grub over here, Trying to get FreeBSD into the list | 07:28 |
| jonathon_ | I added this | 07:28 |
| jonathon_ | menuentry "FreeBSD" { insmod ufs set root='(hd0,b)' kernel /boot/loader | 07:28 |
| jonathon_ | But I got command kernel not found | 07:28 |
| travisHAZE | ty almoxarife, I'll paste that in | 07:28 |
| almoxarife | freebsd? virus? | 07:28 |
| bliind | hi, using fluxbox and not gnome, does anyone know the actual name of the startup disk creator? | 07:28 |

| almoxarife | usb-creator-gtk | 07:30 |
| bliind | thanks | 07:30 |
| * TiagoTiago sighs | 07:32 | |
| TiagoTiago | anyone has any idea how to help me? | 07:32 |
| livingdaylight | Hi | 07:33 |
| white_magic | anyone here use nomachine nxclient/server? | 07:33 |
| almoxarife | TiagoTiago: the question is confusing, can you restate it? | 07:33 |
| livingdaylight | I@m constantly getting my system freeze up, whereby mouse will only travel between workspaces but not do anything else. | 07:34 |
| TiagoTiago | Gparted from the live disk (an USB flash drive actually) says "ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda3 is mounted. mkfs.ext4: Input/output error", how can i fix that, or at least find out what is going on? | 07:34 |
| TiagoTiago | mount doesn't mention it, so i guess it isn't mounted | 07:35 |
| livingdaylight | When I ctrl+alt+PrtScre+K to restsart I usually get this upon loging back in http://clip2net.com/s/1ogWE | 07:35 |
| livingdaylight | Firefox won't launch anymore. When I try it and system freezes all over aagain | 07:36 |
| TiagoTiago | What else do you need to know to make this clearer? | 07:36 |
| almoxarife | TiagoTiago: nothing else needed, thnks | 07:36 |
| livingdaylight | it was system would work for a while and suddenly stop. It seems to do it right away now when launching FF | 07:37 |
| travisHAZE | Query #2: Whenever I use shutdown -P it wont kill power to the PC, it just sits (with no OS loaded) until I hit the power button, how do I fix this? (Using acpi=off noapic nolapic) | 07:37 |
| nando | Hello everyone | 07:38 |
| TiagoTiago | almoxarife: any idea what i can do? | 07:39 |
| almoxarife | TiagoTiago: just a guess, the hd is toast? | 07:39 |
| A_J | is there anyway i can see a percentage indicator when i do mv via terminal | 07:39 |
| TiagoTiago | Before this the partition with WinXP seemed to be doing just fine | 07:40 |
| nando | wolfric, you still here? I think I figured out what was slowing me down so much. I had full drive encryption and home directory encryption and I guess it was to much for my system. Reinstalled without them and its much better. Still not 10.10 though. | 07:40 |
| almoxarife | TiagoTiago: simply based on 'input/out' error | 07:40 |
| TiagoTiago | But the failed install seems to have screwed grub, so i can't boot from that partition anymore... | 07:41 |
| almoxarife | TiagoTiago: then attached to a win machine, you may be able to see something, and I am just guessing | 07:41 |
| TiagoTiago | Anyway to just fix GRUB at least? | 07:42 |
| A_J | is there anyway i can see a percentage indicator when i do mv via terminal | 07:44 |
| travisHAZE | Query #2: Whenever I use shutdown -P it wont kill power to the PC, it just sits (with no OS loaded) until I hit the power button, how do I fix this? (Using acpi=off noapic nolapic) | 07:44 |
| Techdude101 | shutdown -h now | 07:45 |
| TiagoTiago | travisHAZE: perhaps there is a BIOS setting to allow software shutdown? | 07:45 |
| Techdude101 | or poweroff | 07:45 |
| TiagoTiago | oh | 07:45 |
| travisHAZE | -h does Halt or Power off | 07:45 |
| travisHAZE | But my computer only halts with -P | 07:45 |
| Jazanyc | can anyone help me configure my s/pdif? | 07:46 |
| travisHAZE | TiagoTiago, without actually going into my BIOS but going from memory there is no such option | 07:46 |
| A_J | travisHAZE can you look at my question please :D | 07:47 |
| jonathon_ | Ok, Almost got this grub thing working. When I select FreeBSD from the grub menu now, I get ERROR: INVALID A.OUT HEADER | 07:47 |
| travisHAZE | I have, and I don't know | 07:47 |
| travisHAZE | When I move a lot of files | 07:47 |
| === rymate1234|away is now known as rymate1234 | ||
| travisHAZE | It lets me know when each file has been moved | 07:47 |
| travisHAZE | I'm still a Linuxnub | 07:47 |
| A_J | okie no issues travisHAZE | 07:48 |
| jonathon_ | Any ideas? | 07:48 |
| TiagoTiago | I'll try letting Spinrite go over the disk while i sleep, it was stupid of me to try to install an OS right before going to bed :( | 07:48 |
| Jazanyc | any one please help? | 07:50 |
| travisHAZE | If I knew what a s/pdif was, I'd help | 07:51 |
| A_J | Jazanyc this is #ubuntu not FreeBSF | 07:51 |
| A_J | BSD* | 07:51 |
| TiagoTiago | oh well, cya | 07:51 |
| jonathon_ | When I select FreeBSD from the grub menu now, I get ERROR: INVALID A.OUT HEADER. Help? | 07:51 |
| Jazanyc | what is freeBSF? | 07:51 |
| travisHAZE | FreeBSF is only the most awesome Unix OS ever | 07:52 |
| travisHAZE | Even mo betta than Mac OS and FreeBSD | 07:52 |
| Jazanyc | dude, I need help with s/pdif config. | 07:53 |
| Jazanyc | not looking for new OS | 07:53 |
| travisHAZE | Jazanyc, they said that your problem was FreeBSD related | 07:53 |
| travisHAZE | FreeBSD (much like Linux not being Windows) is not Ubuntu | 07:53 |
| jonathon_ | Yea, But the FreeBSD channel is locked | 07:53 |
| jonathon_ | Invite only | 07:54 |
| Jazanyc | no, i wanted alsa to detect my s/pdif, been working on it all night | 07:54 |
| travisHAZE | Not me | 07:54 |
| travisHAZE | I'm in ##freebsd | 07:54 |

| A_J | llutz one question for you || is there anyway i can see a percentage indicator when i do mv via terminal. ? | 07:56 |
| pnorman | A_J: Moving one big file between drives or lots of small files on the same drive, or lots of small files between drives? | 07:57 |
| llutz_ | A_J: afaik no, i never missed one | 07:57 |
| A_J | one big file pnorman. it's 8gigs long via usb so i want to know how long it is taking | 07:57 |
| pnorman | A_J: in that case mv is essentially doing cp. I think you could either monitor the size of the new file or string together some command with pv | 07:58 |
| pnorman | Frankly, neither is worth it for a file that's only 8GB | 07:59 |
| Techdude101 | A_J: What I usually do is "mv <file> <dest> & watch du -h <dest>/<file>" | 07:59 |

| dinexi | Hello. I understand that the question is silly but I can't google the solution in a half of an hour. I have ubuntu 11.04 and compiz. When the windows like pigdin, skype and so on are restored from their "minimized" mode in the notification area, they're moves to the right each time. I mean, the window is restored not to the same position but with some shift to the right. 10 pixels, 10 pixels, 10 pixels... Who knows how to fix that? | 08:06 |
| A_J | umm sorry dced | 08:08 |
| A_J | llutz what were you saying | 08:08 |
| llutz_ | A_J: idk, i never missed one | 08:08 |
| A_J | yes, but there must be an option for percentage like when you do sudo apt-get install etc | 08:09 |
| A_J | the downloading happens in % | 08:09 |
| llutz_ | A_J:file a feature request, write you own mv-with-indicator-script, use pv... whatever | 08:10 |

| edson | Lubuntu does not use all of my RAM. I have 2GB RAM but only 991mb is used. Anyone can help me? | 08:18 |
| A_J | okie pnorman i'll do it maually i guess ty | 08:19 |

| usalabs | morning everyone, I just got my new PCI-e nVidia GeForce 9600GT gfx card, and using the Ubuntu default 195.36.24 driver, but on the nVidia site there is a Linux driver 290.10,,,, which one should I install for the new PCI-e card? | 08:19 |
| pnorman | edson: are you doing something that you would expect to use up all of your ram with? if you're not doing anything, the ram isn't going to be used | 08:20 |
| MTecknology | atruno: it's just a difference in DEs for the most part, install both DEs and see which works better for you | 08:20 |
| edson | Oh, so the other 1GB is a "reserve" so Lubuntu will use it when needed? | 08:21 |
| MTecknology | atruno: oh- sorry, i didn't read up far enough.. | 08:21 |
| MTecknology | edson: this isn't windows man... not all of your ram will be used all of the time :) | 08:21 |
| pnorman | edson: the currently unused ram will get used for caching data, etc, but on my machine <1GB of ram is used if I just start it up and do nothing. | 08:22 |
| MTecknology | On my machine, I have 796MB RAM used of an available 4GB after having run all day (that's including cached data) | 08:22 |
| pnorman | MTecknology: Windows doesn't use all my RAM. | 08:23 |
| edson | Wait, I think I might have to restate my question. | 08:23 |
| MTecknology | pnorman: you have like a terabyte of ram or something!? on my 4GB Win7 was more than happy to chew it all up | 08:23 |
| MTecknology | not only chew it up, but do so very quickly | 08:24 |

| ubottu | pnorman: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 08:24 |
| edson | According to my Task Manager, Memory: 382 MB of 991 MB used. I was hoping for 382 MB of 2000 MB used? | 08:24 |
| MTecknology | i love that site | 08:24 |
| MTecknology | edson: ooooh | 08:24 |
| MTecknology | edson: pastebin 'free -m' output | 08:25 |
| pnorman | edson: Ah - it's not showing that you have as much ram as you should. that's a different problem | 08:25 |

| sweb | i want to access my guest machine in vbox (ubuntu 11.04) as web server. cent os 5.7. what is correct network config | 08:25 |

| edson | Here. http://pastebin.com/uhrB0XQF | 08:26 |
| llutz_ | sweb: set it to bridged | 08:26 |
| MTecknology | sweb: any reason your trying to run a web server in vbox? personally, I think kvm is MUCH more suited to that task | 08:26 |
| MTecknology | and much better documented for doing it | 08:27 |
| usalabs | anyone know if I should use the Ubuntu nVidia driver 195.36.24 or the new Linux driver 290.10 on the nVidia site for my GeForce 9600GT 512MB PCI-e card? | 08:27 |
| MTecknology | and... bridged networking is much easier to comprehend and use in kvm | 08:27 |
| MTecknology | except for the kvm issue I'm having which I very much doubt you'll run in to | 08:28 |
| pnorman | MTecknology: I have 16GB in both my ubuntu box and my Win7 box. The Win7 box has 6G in use, of which about 3G is to games and other big apps. The ubuntu box has 3G used, of which 1.5G is cache. I think ubuntu (server) is better at handling memory, particularly for using free memory to cache data, but Win7 isn't that bad for memory. | 08:29 |

| Gifford | I entered the Wifi password and it says that WiFi is connected | 08:33 |
| Gifford | but I can't ping the router or use internet | 08:34 |
| nando | Gifford, you sure router is set up to respond to ping? | 08:35 |

| Techdude101 | Gifford: Have you tried pinging 192.168.1.1 (which I am assuming is the ip of your router)? | 08:43 |

| gardenfox | is there a fork or a good alternative for archive manager for windows? | 08:44 |
| kaidi114 | hi | 08:45 |
| atengesdal | good morning, running 11.10 and I keep having this problem in USC "failed to download packages". Checked sources.list, done apt-get update and update manager works fine | 08:45 |
| atengesdal | tips? | 08:45 |
| Techdude101 | Gifford: Try "ping 4.2.2.2" | 08:45 |
| jerry | question, when you set the time on your server that is in a differen't time zone than you. Do you set it to your time/time zone or to the one where it's located? | 08:45 |
| jerry | I was going to set it to mine, then got to thinking about that | 08:45 |
| MTecknology | gardenfox: you mean file-roller? I think that's about the best option there is, even the lightest weight of systems tend to use it if there is a gui present | 08:46 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: nothing happening, what is that? | 08:46 |
| eeveetrainer | does anyone know the easiest way to get an apt? | 08:46 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: no, there is ping, but the same way, with pauses | 08:46 |
| Techdude101 | It's just a well known dns server that accepts ping requests | 08:46 |
| MTecknology | eeveetrainer: get an apt? .. | 08:46 |
| eeveetrainer | yes | 08:46 |
| MTecknology | what? | 08:46 |
| eeveetrainer | i need a new apt | 08:46 |
| Techdude101 | Gifford: you should see something like "64 bytes from 4.2.2.2" | 08:47 |
| MTecknology | eeveetrainer: apt-get reinstall apt-get ? | 08:47 |
| gardenfox | MTecknolohy: yeah is there anythink like that for windows? | 08:47 |
| MTecknology | eeveetrainer: you're not making any sense.. | 08:47 |
| MTecknology | gardenfox: nothing i know of, 7-zip might have those capabilities now, i always fell back to using unxutils | 08:48 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: yes, but there pauses, how can I explain. it is waiting a lot and then there is answer, then waiting, then two answers...since then now there are only 16 answers | 08:48 |
| MTecknology | gardenfox: then you at least could unpack and pack bzip2 and gzip archives | 08:49 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: I tried putting the netbook right near the router and getting 100% signal? still the same | 08:49 |
| g3nt3lg1ant | Is there a way to share a file between ubuntu and windows on the same machine? I am dual booting both windows and ubuntu. | 08:49 |

| omersimanovsky | Hello all, i have some issue with my mail server on ec2, i get message from the mail client of " The POP server doesn’t support Password authentication.", Someone can help me? | 08:50 |
| pikaciu | Gifford: have you tried with the eth cable ? | 08:50 |
| atengesdal | g3nt3lg1ant you can share from ubuntu into windows but not the other way around | 08:51 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: nothing about wifi | 08:51 |
| Gifford | pikaciu: no , but I can | 08:51 |
| pikaciu | Gifford: sometime i go that behavior with the wifi but not with the cable | 08:52 |
| edson | Gifford: try this 'sudo rfkill unblock all' that solved my problem in wifi | 08:52 |
| pikaciu | Gifford: sometime i go that behavior with the wifi but not with the cable | 08:52 |
| pikaciu | i got | 08:52 |
| Gifford | pikaciu: with ethernet everything is perfect, just tried | 08:53 |
| pikaciu | Giffor: drivers.... then ??? | 08:53 |
| Techdude101 | Gifford: Have you tried restarting the router? (unplug power cable for 20 secs) | 08:54 |
| === jerry is now known as Ginks | ||
| g3nt3lg1ant | atengendal: so i cant share files with windows off my ubuntu partition? | 08:54 |
| llutz_ | g3nt3lg1ant: store them on the ntfs-drive | 08:54 |
| Gifford | edson, Techdude101: I just tried sudo rfkill unblock all and ping through WiFi became perfect. what was that? | 08:55 |
| Gifford | and 4.2.2.2 too | 08:56 |
| edson | So wifi is ok now? | 08:56 |
| Gifford | what did I just do? | 08:56 |
| Gifford | yes! | 08:56 |
| Techdude101 | Gifford: rfkill controls the action of a physical wifi switch, sometimes Fn + F? | 08:56 |
| edson | sudo rfkill list | 08:56 |
| paramananda | wireless cards are so fun | 08:56 |
| Gifford | aha? I thought about this, but pressing it didn't change anything :| | 08:56 |
| edson | you're wifi card was 'blocked'. happened to me before | 08:57 |
| Gifford | edson: all no | 08:57 |
| paramananda | especially with no ethernet plug available | 08:57 |
| eeveetrainer | wireless card headache is the single biggest thing hindering ubuntu's popularity | 08:57 |
| pikaciu | :P | 08:58 |
| paramananda | frankly it forced me to start using terminal and play around with ndiswrapper | 08:58 |
| edson | if you typed rfkill list before you unblocked, you must see everything blocked. | 08:58 |
| Gifford | strange, the function switch which is supposed to block/unblock WiFi doesn't do anything | 08:58 |
| Gifford | Fn + F too | 08:58 |
| Gifford | and why was WiFi half-working??? | 08:59 |
| Techdude101 | Gifford: On some laptops/netbooks the button is Fn + F7 (I think). On mine it's Fn + F2 | 09:00 |
| pikaciu | bye | 09:00 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: there is the radio icon on F1 | 09:00 |
| Techdude101 | Gifford: That'll be it, Fn + F1 | 09:01 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: but nothing happens on Fn + F1 I tried | 09:01 |
| blin | when I start the computer and see the file of /etc/resolv.conf , the "nameserver 8.8.8.8 is no exit ,so I have to add it again, is there any way to solve it? | 09:01 |
| edson | is your laptop an HP? | 09:01 |
| Gifford | and still, why was it half working | 09:01 |
| paramananda | pretty much only ubuntu has a huge pool of patient volunteer technical support | 09:01 |
| Gifford | edson: Intel | 09:01 |
| paramananda | well the most helpful I've seen | 09:02 |
| Techdude101 | Gifford: Sometimes you need to hold it for a few seconds. Not sure why it was half working, i.e. you were getting an ip address | 09:02 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: and ping worked, but with long pauses | 09:02 |
| llutz_ | blin: rightclick your networkmanager-applet, edit connection, set dns in ip4 settings | 09:02 |
| Gifford | now it works immediately | 09:02 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: holding doesn't work either | 09:03 |
| edson | paramananda: well Ubuntu ("humanity towards others") | 09:03 |
| Techdude101 | Gifford: Do you know if it works in windows? | 09:03 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: I will try now | 09:03 |
| paramananda | yea which is why I like ubuntu and have tons of distros | 09:04 |
| paramananda | even though people say it makes me a linux newb | 09:04 |
| bullgard4 | When ripping an audio CD, how can I in K3b version 2.0.2 change the default value of the target directory from ~ to another value? | 09:04 |

| loginix | hello | 09:08 |
| Gifford | Techdude101: there is led, but it doesn't switch off | 09:08 |
| loginix | neither does mine | 09:09 |

| Gyro54 | Hi, Can anyone point to where I can find info on how to connect to a HP mediavault? | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: how does it connect to the PC? | 10:12 |
| vindolin | almoxarife: also gdm consumes 50% cpu .. wt? | 10:12 |
| Gyro54 | ActionParsnip:It has a static ip 192.168.1.8 | 10:12 |
| RobinJ | erm, help? my public key is being denied when trying to download a bazaar branch | 10:13 |
| RobinJ | i've already created a new one (2 times) | 10:13 |
| theadmin | Gyro54: Just type that in your browser? ssh to it? | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: can you ping the IP? | 10:13 |
| Gyro54 | ActionParsnip: I had it connected on my 10.04 but did a clean install of 11.10 and forgot how I mounted the shared folders | 10:14 |
| vindolin | almoxarife: ok the gdm thing was something other | 10:14 |
| Chees_BHW | hi. can I have eth0 instead of venet on a VPS with openVZ ? | 10:14 |
| Gyro54 | ActionParsnip: Yes I can ping it | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: if you run: smbtree do you see any shares? | 10:15 |
| Gyro54 | theadmin: Yes I can browse to it but I need to set up the folders to mount on startup | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: then you will need to add an entry in /etc/fstab | 10:15 |
| RobinJ | nvm lol | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: You can easily add it as a bookmark in nautilus and access it there when needed | 10:16 |
| RobinJ | unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK fixed it | 10:16 |
| Gyro54 | ActionParsnip: wow! thats a nice one. There are all the local printers and computers nut no mediavault? | 10:16 |

| Gyro54 | almoxarife: Thanks I will have a look | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: what file serving technology does it use? | 10:19 |
| Gyro54 | ActionParsnip: It runs linux | 10:20 |
| matrixiumn | hello | 10:21 |
| Gyro54 | almoxarife: I used that before but was not sure if it relates to 11.10 | 10:22 |
| almoxarife | Gyro54: samo samo | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: but does it use sshfs, samba, ftp? | 10:22 |
| Chees_BHW | hi. can I have eth0 instead of venet on a VPS with openVZ ? | 10:22 |
| almoxarife | ActionParsnip: samba | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | almoxarife: sweet | 10:22 |
| Gyro54 | ActionParsnip: It uses samba or NFS | 10:23 |
| simoneb_ | hello, i'm having issues with qjackctl, it just freezes after it starts, i can't see errors when running it from the command line. i have oneiric. anybody has a clue? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: try telling nautilus to connect to \\HPMediaVault\FileShar | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: \\HPMediaVault\FileShare sorry | 10:24 |
| Chees_BHW | what is the difference between eth0 and venet ? | 10:26 |
| almoxarife | Chees_BHW: eth0 is your hardwire connection to the network | 10:27 |
| theadmin | Bah, eth0 is the ethernet interface that's all | 10:27 |
| theadmin | venet is some other network type | 10:27 |
| Gyro54 | ActionParsnip: When I try sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.108/FileShare /mnt/sharefiles I get unknown file type 'smbfs' | 10:28 |
| Chees_BHW | theadmin so on a VPS i can only have venet and not eth0 ? | 10:28 |
| theadmin | Chees_BHW: Depends on your VPS, but I suppose venet is the OpenVZ networking interface... | 10:28 |
| theadmin | Chees_BHW: I don't see why do you need to change it | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Gyro54: it's "cifs" now | 10:29 |
| Chees_BHW | theadmin, because I need to use a setup for iptables that is made for eth0 and in my vps i have only venet in the ifconfig | 10:29 |
| theadmin | Chees_BHW: Um... Just replace every "eth0" with "venet" | 10:29 |
| Gyro54 | Thanks !! Will try that | 10:29 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install smbfs <---- dont forget Gyro54 | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Gyro54: you may need to access the web config page to check the share name | 10:30 |
| Chees_BHW | theamin, yes but the ifconfig looks different with venet. so can I just set it up like its eth0 ? will this work ? | 10:31 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: I have samba installed? is that the same? | 10:31 |

| === jeff_ is now known as South_Park | ||
| berlinick | Two solutions I found so far are: 1. Switch Java VM to client mode, or 2. Change the video card driver. I am not sure about the second solution, because I am still very new to Linux. I would like to try the first option. But I somehow can't: Entering "java -client" in the Terminal doesn't do anything. | 10:38 |
| mama58 | !list | 10:38 |
| 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 ». | 10:38 |
| berlinick | I have also edited my bash profile so that it has the path to Java. But it didn't help. I think, I have done it wrong. I would really appreciate your advice. | 10:40 |
| Gyro54 | This still gives the error "Unable to find suitable address" sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.108/shares/FileShare /mnt/sharefiles | 10:40 |
| Gyro54 | It looks OK to me | 10:40 |
| dr_willis | Gyro54: try findsmb, and smbtree commands to scan the network for what shares are there. | 10:43 |
| dr_willis | Gyro54: and you sure that sharename is right? normally its like //ip.num.be.er/sharename | 10:43 |
| dr_willis | not sharename/subdir | 10:43 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: findsmb = 192.168.1.8 HPMEDIAVAULT [KKHOME] [Unix] [Samba 3.0.23d] | 10:45 |
| dr_willis | thats the right machine? | 10:45 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: I will try without the subdir | 10:46 |
| * dr_willis notices the ip address is also differnt then what you tried... | 10:46 | |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: no still the same? | 10:47 |
| dr_willis | You are using the right ip#? | 10:47 |
| dr_willis | You used 108 in one place.. but findsmb showed '8' | 10:48 |
| berlinick | So the question basically is: How can I switch Java from server to client mode. | 10:48 |
| dr_willis | I dident even know java had a server/client mode. :) | 10:48 |
| berlinick | Yep, it has both. | 10:49 |
| berlinick | And it defaults to server on most machines. | 10:49 |
| berlinick | Well, it identifies mine as a server-class machine. | 10:49 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: WTF Now that was stupid I removed the "10" That changes things | 10:50 |
| dr_willis | thats why i mentioned it twice | 10:50 |
| dr_willis | :) | 10:50 |
| blaa | #ccc.do | 10:51 |
| blaa | exit | 10:51 |
| berlinick | One forum post states that the SIGSEGV-problem I'm having disappears after switching to the client mode. | 10:51 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: Now I have a "mount error(6): No such device or address" | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | see if smbtree sees the shares Gyro54 | 10:55 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: No it is not listed. | 10:57 |
| berlinick | Uhm... Will I be thrown out of here if I don't write and just wait? :) | 10:57 |
| popey | no berlinick | 10:58 |
| dr_willis | berlinick: thats what most people do. | 10:58 |
| berlinick | OK :) | 10:58 |
| theadmin | berlinick: No... Also, it's likely that your Java app has server/client modes... Java is just a runtime environment, similar to Mono or Perl or Ruby or Lua or such... | 10:58 |
| theadmin | Would make no sense for it to have server/client modes | 10:59 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: findsmb shows it in a different workgroup? I will change it and try again | 10:59 |
| tarvid | getting badsig - http://paste.ubuntu.com/766746/ | 10:59 |
| berlinick | As far as I found out, it is the environment itself, which has these modes. | 11:00 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: I have changed the workgroup and now have this error? Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman auth' is disabled | 11:03 |

| berlinick | I mean, so says the official Java website. | 11:05 |
| Gyro54 | dr_willis: I will check the 10.04 version and see how it was setup | 11:10 |
| berlinick | theadmin: I mean, you guys know incomparably more then I do, but I am still convinced that it is the environment and not the app itself. Also I read, that the problem does not emerge in earlier versions ov Java. I am trying to find the page (had to restart and forgot to save the bookmark, stupid), but with no success so far. | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | berlinick: thats why i use delicious.com to do all my bookmarking. | 11:12 |

| berlinick | And how do I send messages, that are marked with your names? | 11:13 |

| dnivra | hello. I am running kubuntu 11.10 on a sony vaio vgn-fw260j. I recently purchased a new charger for my laptop and ever since I started using it, I haven't been able to use the touchpad with the same ease as before-it either freezes or provides delayed response. i have installed the latest updates but the issue still exists. has anyone else faced such as issue? | 11:34 |
| snowlove | flower | 11:35 |
| * dr_willis noticed Acrobat reader was a 630 mb install on his windows machine.... (from the add/remove programs stuff) Thats getting sick. :) | 11:35 | |
| dnivra | i tried the fixes suggested in http://askubuntu.com/questions/70333/touchpad-freezing-on-a-sony-vaio-vpcf22s1e but they weren't of much help. | 11:35 |
| dr_willis | the charger is affecting the touchpad? that would be.. odd... | 11:36 |
| dnivra | Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could solve this problem? It's getting really annoying :). | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: you can disable plugins for it and make it load faster :) | 11:36 |
| * dnivra agrees with dr_willis | 11:36 | |
| dnivra | but that's the only rational explaination I have-moment i unplug the charger, the touchpad works like a charm. | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | ActionParsnip: got me a little netbook on clearance. :) was cleaning it out. and amazed at the size of the acrobat reader install. | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dnivra: usually the boot option: i8024.nopnp makes dumb Sony touchpads work | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | dnivra: could be more to do with the power saveings sub system. Try the laptop with a disrto like tiny core linux, see if it has the same issues., | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dnivra: try: i8024.reset | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dnivra: or: irqpoll | 11:38 |
| dnivra | ActionParsnip: I had stumbled across this forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150077 and it suggested 4 options i8024.reset, i8024.nomux, i8042.nopnp and i8042.noloop. I tried supplying all four and it still didn't work. | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | it may be it needs one of the 4 :) | 11:40 |
| brontosaurusrex | how to use mplayer to have fullscreen playback over multiple screens? | 11:40 |
| dnivra | i assumed that if that had to work, then the touchpad shouldn't work at all. but well mine works when running on battery and sometimes when charging. | 11:40 |
| pranav | snowlove: what flower :O | 11:41 |
| dr_willis | brontosaurusrex: you playing a wide screen movie and you want it to scretch across 2 monitors? | 11:41 |
| dnivra | and it was working perfectly till i got this charger so I am guessing it's the charger. | 11:41 |
| dnivra | dr_willis: i am on a low bandwidth connection and so do not have access to any iso's to create a live cd. | 11:42 |
| dr_willis | dnivra: tiny core linux = 10 to 35mb :) | 11:42 |
| brontosaurusrex | dr_willis, actually 2 projectors and i need synced video on both, so i will edit it into one clip and then separate again on playback time, thats the idea at least | 11:42 |
| dnivra | dr_willis: oh! a GUI comes in that size? | 11:43 |
| dr_willis | dnivra: yes. | 11:43 |
| dr_willis | its a good testing disrto. | 11:43 |
| dnivra | ActionParsnip: you mentioned something about irqpoll? | 11:43 |
| dnivra | dr_willis: downloading. | 11:43 |
| dr_willis | sounds to me like its a known bug with the sony laoptops touchpad. | 11:43 |
| dr_willis | i dont even know what i8042 is :) | 11:44 |
| dnivra | dr_willis: i just came across it in a blog post :D. and it's tinycore not multi-core or micro-core right? just thought I'd confirm. | 11:45 |
| Madkiss | hm. it appears that Ubuntu 11.10 is very very slow on my IBM Thinkpad x121e, esp. when it comes to installing new packages | 11:46 |

| dnivra | i came across another solution:http://www.cranked.me/2008/05/how-to-disable-touchpad-while-typing-in.html to "disable touchpad while typing". is this xorg.conf file correct http://paste.kde.org/157598/?

| TimothyA | before tech support woke up to manually cycle the server | 11:51 |
| dr_willis | cant say ive ever tested the kernek panic option. | 11:51 |
| dr_willis | rarely have kernel panics... | 11:51 |

| TimothyA | and I Can't find the source of it | 11:51 |
| AndIrc_ | can you help me? | 11:52 |
| TimothyA | where does it store the kernel panic message? | 11:52 |
| dr_willis | AndIrc_: you may want to poste a tinyurl of that long url. | 11:52 |
| TimothyA | WHERE | 11:52 |
| dr_willis | or summarize the error message. | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | dnivra: if you only have: irqpoll instead of: quiet splash irqpoll you will not get a plymouth boot screen, you will see the bootup text | 11:53 |
| AndIrc_ | http://tinyurl.com/car74tn | 11:54 |
| TimothyA | okay, so ubuntu does not log kernel panics? awesome | 11:54 |
| dnivra | ActionParsnip: Ah okay. slightly clearer now. by plymouth you are referring to GUI right? | 11:54 |
| dr_willis | AndIrc_: IO error is normally some hardware faliure | 11:55 |
| dnivra | right off to test both suggestions. Thanks for your help ActionParsnip and dr_willis. Be back soon! | 11:55 |
| dr_willis | AndIrc_: looks like sda6 is failing, or has major issues. | 11:56 |

| TimothyA | don't make me switch to windows, ffs | 11:57 |
| dr_willis | TimothyA: ranting about it wont help. | 11:58 |
| AndIrc_ | what can I do? I tried fsck but Ubuntu continues to work badly | 11:58 |
| dr_willis | if no one in here knows.. then we dont know. | 11:58 |

| dr_willis | AndIrc_: id reformat the fs, and check it with whatever tools you can find. | 11:59 |
| TimothyA | server is barely 1 month old and it has had 184 kernel panics to date | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | AndIrc_: the fact its 4 mo old dosent matter. ive hadn brand new hd's fail. | 11:59 |
| MonkeyDust | TimothyA i've never had a kernel panic, so it is not common | 11:59 |
| dr_willis | Only kernel panics ive had are on currupted boot media. | 11:59 |
| MonkeyDust | maybe you're doing something wrong | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | or flakey hardware | 12:00 |
| HQRaja | Very frequent kernel panics might be an indication of a blonde kernel | 12:00 |
| TimothyA | dr_willis: it happens on 8 different servers that I have since last month | 12:00 |
| TimothyA | in 3 different datacenters | 12:00 |
| MonkeyDust | then it must be you | 12:00 |
| TimothyA | I don't see how as the setup is completely different on each server | 12:00 |
| AndIrc_ | what can I do for now? | 12:01 |
| dr_willis | AndIrc_: dont use that partition perhaps? | 12:01 |
| dr_willis | AndIrc_: or try backing it up. reformating it. | 12:01 |
| dr_willis | and restoreing the data to it. | 12:01 |
| AndIrc_ | ok thnx | 12:02 |

| karboh | Hi, ubuntu live cd and installation works fine, but when rebooting after install I only get a blinking underscore | 12:10 |
| karboh | and I don't even get to grub | 12:10 |

| mark_ | Hi Anyone here? | 12:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | karboh, Did you md5sum the ISO image, prior to burning it at the SLOWEST speed? | 12:11 |
| Techdude101 | kerboh: Sounds like grub either hasn't been installed properly or installed to the wrong drive | 12:11 |
| mark_ | I can't stand the new menu on ubuntu, is there any way to go back? | 12:11 |
| MonkeyDust | !nounity| mark_ | 12:12 |
| ubottu | mark_: 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 | 12:12 |
| karboh | Sidewinder1: no, I did not. Do you think that could be a problem even though the whole installation worked? | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | mark_: check out gnome-shell or the various annoying fallback/failsafe modes. | 12:13 |
| dnivra | dr_willis: ActionParsnip: Any suggestions to fix the frozen touchpad? | 12:13 |
| MonkeyDust | and please don't start ranting | 12:13 |
| Sidewinder1 | karboh, Perhaps, how do you know that the installation worked, if ti won't even boot? | 12:13 |
| dr_willis | mark_: theres numerous guides on tweaking unity (and gnome0shell) on the webupd8 and askubuntu.com sites | 12:13 |
| mark_ | hmm, is that something I run inside ubuntu or is that the list that comes up when booting? | 12:13 |
| Sidewinder1 | it, even. | 12:13 |

| Sidewinder1 | karboh, It's easy enough to do, after the fact.. | 12:15 |

| raidgh0st | Installing Ubuntu on a external usb3 harddrive. Would i see a diff from using a internal drive and the usb3 external drive (when it comes to speed) | 12:16 |

| berlinick | How do I switch Java environment from server to client mode? | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | berlinick: check on askubuntu.com or in #java perhaps? | 12:17 |
| raidgh0st | Then it seems like i have to find a tool to shrink the ntfs ssd drive, so i get some of the ssd space for ubuntu. | 12:17 |
| raidgh0st | Dont know if knoppix has a tool to resize | 12:17 |
| berlinick | Oh, OK, thanks! | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | raidgh0st: are you running windows 7? | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | raidgh0st: gparted normally can do that. but win7 has its own tools to resize ntfs that i find are a lot faster | 12:18 |
| berlinick | Is #java on this node? | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | berlinick: yes | 12:18 |
| raidgh0st | ActionParsnip: I bought a brand builded computer. and windows was pre installed | 12:18 |
| berlinick | Cool, thanks! | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | raidgh0st: win7 can resize ntfs | 12:18 |
| MonkeyDust | without data loss? | 12:18 |
| ajin1 | MonkeyDust: yes, MS is the biggest bug | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | raidgh0st: i run linux from a normal usb2 32gb flash drive.. its slower then internal..but works fine for normal daily ussage | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | Win7 can somehow resize ntfs while in use.. no data loss. and at decent speeds. | 12:19 |
| raidgh0st | And since last time i checked. Ubuntu doesnt handle windows games (like my girlfriend likes to play) | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | raidgh0st: 'wine' handles windows applications. | 12:19 |
| raidgh0st | like sims ? | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | raidgh0st: i run dozens of games. depends on teh game | 12:19 |

| Benkinooby | A_J, so if you want to work command line only (wich might be a bit of a pain for beginners - but i honor your effort) there are some good ressources... the man pages! | 12:39 |
| A_J | so it will work for move also as mv is a cp and a rm | 12:39 |

| theadmin | rigasetiadi: There are browser extensions for that, and Opera has that function built-in | 12:39 |
| d4nt3 | A_J, and read that | 12:39 |
| Sidewinder1 | A_J, Well, then, you could use Grsync if you chose to do so; it may be a little easier to understand the syntax/options and, once you select what you want to do, it lists the actual rsync command, complete with syntax. "Tis your choice. | 12:40 |
| Benkinooby | A_J, the man pages provide additional documentation for commands. so in case you don't know a command you usually can type "command --help" to get a short help or "man command". that will open the man page, wich provides an extensive explaination of the commmand sytax and its emaning | 12:40 |

| The_BROS | what Gnome gives less load to prosessor and memory: Gnome 2 or Gnome 3 (Classic) ? | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | raidgh0st: I recommend urban terror if you like counterstrike stylee games | 12:48 |
| Benkinooby | A_J, so, jsut to clear things up, what theadmin suggest is that you set aliases. aliases will replace a command with an other command. so your short 'cp' will become 'rsync -r -v --progress'. in the end you also could type the wholre rsync stuff manually, but 'cp' is more conveninet | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | The_BROS: If you want low CPU desktop, use XFCE of LXDE | 12:48 |
| theadmin | A_J: Yes, you could have just copied the entire line. Also, I suggest using "rcp" and "rmv" instead of "cp" and "mv" for alias names because they won't break scripts this way | 12:48 |
| A_J | ooh like alieses in irssi. got it | 12:49 |
| The_BROS | <ActionParsnip> but how about Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 Classic? | 12:49 |

| A_J | thanks theadmin for your help. i'll try it out and let you know | 12:51 |
| The_BROS | <ActionParsnip> do u mean that Gnome 2 is not supported? | 12:52 |
| blackbit | ... I mean, default install, ubuntu 11.10 | 12:52 |
| theadmin | blackbit: Oh, well, that's because X is started by lightdm and that runs as root | 12:52 |
| blackbit | any workaround to make Xorg run as non-root? I don't think its a good idea to keep it running as root, security-wise | 12:53 |
| theadmin | blackbit: It's safe enough, but workaround? Don't use a display manager | 12:53 |
| The_BROS | <ActionParsnip> I am using 11.04 with Gnome and now I wanna change system to 11.10 with gnome classic. Will it be better? | 12:53 |
| Sidewinder1 | Benkinooby, Yes, both of those commands gave output.. So why, then doesn't it show up in nautilus, with "show hidden files", 'on'? | 12:53 |
| theadmin | blackbit: xinit manually from your user :D | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | The_BROS: its not developed now which is why Ubuntu switched to Gnome 3 | 12:53 |
| Sidewinder1 | Benkinooby, All of the other .directories show up. | 12:54 |
| Benkinooby | Sidewinder1, did you click the refresh button in nautilus when you're looking at the home directory? | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | The_BROS: how do you mean 'better'? | 12:54 |
| niklasfi | hello, my geany crashes, when i click open file. what logfile do i need to look in to get info about why this is happening | 12:55 |
| |PuLi| | hi, if i install win7 (sda) and ubuntu (sdb) dual boot, do i install boot loader to sda or sdb? | 12:55 |
| The_BROS | <ActionParsnip> 'better' is 'faster' and 'without problems' | 12:55 |
| Benkinooby | The_BROS, use fluxbox XD | 12:55 |
| theadmin | niklasfi: Geany doesn't log anything, run it from a terminal and watch the output | 12:55 |
| Benkinooby | The_BROS, or Xfce or LXde | 12:55 |
| theadmin | XFCE rocks, a really cute de | 12:55 |
| theadmin | Feels like gnome2 | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | The_BROS: not sure about problems, works fine here, all I can say is try it | 12:56 |
| Sidewinder1 | Benkinooby, Yes, hit refresh, it goes from .azureus to .cache; curious, 10.04, if that makes any difference, although it shouldn't. Hmm.. | 12:56 |
| Benkinooby | theadmin, +1... although it can't beat fluxbox muhahaha | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | The_BROS: there are other desktops if you don't like it. XFCE smells and feels like Gnome 2 | 12:56 |
| theadmin | Benkinooby: Openbox can though :P | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | LXDE + openbox :) | 12:56 |
| niklasfi | theadmin: ok. http://paste.ubuntu.com/766816/ | 12:57 |
| theadmin | niklasfi: Um, that doesn't say anything, open that file... | 12:57 |
| niklasfi | theadmin: which file? | 12:57 |
| Benkinooby | The_BROS, i think, as many suggested now, you'll be happy with Xfce... i think it's better supported on 11.10 | 12:57 |
| theadmin | niklasfi: "geany.log", apparently, not sure where the hell it's supposed to be | 12:57 |
| Benkinooby | than gnome2 | 12:57 |
| niklasfi | theadmin: ohh sorry i did echo "..." | instead of cat | | 12:57 |
| The_BROS | <ActionParsnip> when Ubuntu released 11.10 I have Installed it, but I dont like Unity and Gnome shell didnt work at my hardware. Therefore I come back to 11.04 with Gnome 2. Now I am thinking to try Gnome Classic in 11.10. | 12:58 |
| niklasfi | theadmin: did not want to troll you ... really sorry for that http://paste.ubuntu.com/766819/ | 12:58 |
| theadmin | niklasfi: lol that's ok | 12:58 |

| dfavara | hi all | 13:11 |
| dfavara | quick question | 13:11 |
| worminator | hi seul | 13:11 |
| dfavara | i have 2 eth, eth0 and eth1 | 13:11 |
| dfavara | eth0 should be 10.10.10.69 gw 10.10.10.2 | 13:12 |
| dfavara | while eth1 should be 192.168.239.110 gw 192.168.239.254 | 13:12 |
| theadmin | dfavara: Your problem is? | 13:12 |
| theadmin | dfavara: ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.69 && route add default gw 10.10.10.2 dev eth0 # Repeat for eth1, run as root. | 13:13 |
| dfavara | if i setup eth0 i can ping 10.10.10.x | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: could have prefixed with sudo, and you wouldn't need to add 'run as root' ;) | 13:13 |
| Morten_ | Hi, can anyone recommend a GUI program for batch renaming files? | 13:13 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Then I'd have to prefix both commands with sudo... meh | 13:14 |
| dfavara | theadmin, that means that all the traffic from 10.10.10.x will use that gw | 13:14 |
| dfavara | while all the traffic from 192.168.x.x will use 192.168.239.254 ? | 13:14 |

| Sidewinder1 | Benkinooby, So, do you have any idea why .bashrc doesn't show up in nautilus, nor does it appear in the gnome search in the home directory? This is really puzzling me. | 13:23 |

| * theadmin configures her networking via netcfg, dfavara, check it out, it's an awesome tool: http://projects.archlinux.org/netcfg.git | 13:24 | |
| Benkinooby | Sidewinder1, but it exists, as you can see it with the commandline? | 13:25 |
| blackbit | Sidewinder1, are hidden files set to be shown? | 13:25 |
| Benkinooby | Sidewinder1, maybe there is an extra option for system files? | 13:26 |
| Benkinooby | in nautilus | 13:26 |
| blackbit | it does not show up simply because its a hidden file | 13:26 |
| dfavara | theadmin, to be honest i'd love to figure out hoew to get what i need from route | 13:26 |
| dfavara | man is not clear IMO | 13:26 |
| blackbit | you have to enable 'view hidden files' in nautilus menu | 13:26 |

| dnalor | ubuntu , using gparted, intiialize the partition. | 13:54 |
| Gentoo64 | ubuntu, you need to format it as ext4 or whatever | 13:55 |
| Gentoo64 | then choose / as the mount point | 13:55 |
| === N3x4 is now known as Ext4 | ||
| ubuntu | but U cant | 13:55 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah you can | 13:55 |
| Gentoo64 | ubuntus installer comes with gparted | 13:55 |
| ubuntu | i cant | 13:55 |
| BoxOfHamsters | dnalor: thanks - could you run the same command again, but in this format please - lscpi -n | grep Audio | 13:55 |
| Gentoo64 | why not? | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: part of the install is to partition, if you select to do 'something else' you can setup the partitions in the free space manually | 13:56 |
| BoxOfHamsters | I want to see the numeric ID of the sound device, so I can check it and see what it should be using. | 13:56 |
| SMS | @ActionParsnio I have nvidia... i had installed nvidia-173 package but xserver was not working had to uninstall it | 13:56 |
| dnalor | BoxOfHamsters No Output | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu: you want the same amount of swap space as RAM, and the rest as ext4 format as / | 13:56 |
| SMS | Sorry ActionParsnip.. | 13:56 |
| BoxOfHamsters | dnalor: hm | 13:57 |
| dnalor | ActionParsnip he needs additional space for /boot | 13:57 |
| Gentoo64 | dnalor, you dont need /boot | 13:57 |
| Gentoo64 | or anything but / | 13:57 |
| Gentoo64 | well its optional | 13:57 |
| BoxOfHamsters | dnalor: Sorry, that was my fault, I gave you the wrong command. It should be lspci -nn | grep Audio | 13:57 |
| BoxOfHamsters | sorry | 13:57 |
| BoxOfHamsters | that gives you the text name and the 8 digit vendor / product ID | 13:58 |

| dnalor | bkackbit , i agree. i tend to do that since it's a laptop . | 13:58 |
| theadmin | herwig: Sie konnen einfach eine andere Keyboard Layout hinzufugen, es soll in die Einstellungen sein. Also, #ubuntu-de. | 13:59 |
| blackbit | 1:1 ram:swap is not always valid, of course. If you have 512mb of ram, you need way more than 512mb of swap. If you have 32gb of ram, you need way less than 32gb of swap (unless you want to use the suspend to disk feature) | 13:59 |
| Gentoo64 | blackbit, you can use whatever swap you like btw | 14:00 |
| BoxOfHamsters | dnalor: I think I just found your problem. There's an issue with that card on some laptops through ubuntu - I found a bug relating to that card, albeit on a different version (this is on Lucid) | 14:00 |
| WHAT_UP | Hi. Why would a cronjob running some script that runs ffmpeg fail with error code 32512 (at the point at which ffmpeg is called) whereas it works when I run it directly from the terminal in any directory? | 14:00 |
| dnalor | since space isn't an issue. and i usse SSD drive. i usually double the RAM amount for swap | 14:00 |

| BoxOfHamsters | it seems it does something with the internal speakers - in your case, you're getting sound through one, dnalor - have you tried external speakers, plugged into the headphone socket? | 14:01 |
| dnalor | Gentoo64: hehe ya but i only use SSD for OS so space isnt an issue since all my files are on another drive | 14:01 |
| dnalor | BoxOfHamsters: correct, headset works perfectly fine | 14:02 |
| mongy | user82, gthumb has a contact sheet plugin, which might do what you want.. I'm not sure but worth a look. Does shotwell nto have such a thing also? | 14:02 |
| BoxOfHamsters | yep. Hold on then, I suspect that it lists a fix, dnalor | 14:02 |

| ActionParsnip | user82: like a web based photo album? | 14:04 |
| BoxOfHamsters | dnalor: Are you actually using oneiric (11.10)? | 14:05 |
| BoxOfHamsters | never mind, I can see you're not. | 14:05 |
| dnalor | BoxOfHamsters: correct | 14:05 |
| BoxOfHamsters | you are? | 14:05 |
| dnalor | BoxOfHamsters: excuse me, DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04 | 14:05 |
| BoxOfHamsters | odd... your lsb release says you're using Natty (11.04) | 14:05 |
| mongy | user82, the web album plugin might be more your thing in gthumb............ | 14:05 |
| mukund | Hi i am using xubuntu 11.10 i am not getting startup loader , Its blank..the monitor is off until the login window comes up..Can any1 help? | 14:05 |
| BoxOfHamsters | :) | 14:06 |
| dnalor | BoxOfHamsters: yep correct, i had to reinstall since i hated unity | 14:06 |
| whitekidney | dnalor: Unity can be disabled with like three clicks. | 14:06 |
| Iznougoud | Alright then: I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.10, using Webmin and remote shell. I would also, however, like to be able to log in using Total Commander and SFTP - this making fle handling a lot easier. Total Commander will establish contact with the server on port 21 and port 22, using the same credentials as my SSH-user. But it always ends with a "connection refused". So I take it it's a configuration issue at the server end somehow. | 14:06 |
| dnalor | whitekidney: i'm running classic ubuntu on 11:04 .. works fine with me :) | 14:06 |
| BoxOfHamsters | ah, ok then dnalor - this might help you then. If you read the bug report I linked you to, it says that apparently the sound works normally since 11.04 | 14:07 |
| BoxOfHamsters | dnalor, this is from the bug: Sound works fine with Ubuntu 11.04, so installing linux-image-generic-lts-backport-natty package from ppa:kernel-ppa also fixes this problem. | 14:07 |
| dnalor | whitekidney: i was under the impression that you cannot disable unity on 11.10 . you only have look alike and u loose the notification options | 14:07 |
| arunkumar413 | hi, i've installed record my desktop but i'm unable to record the sound from the system (instead of microphone) | 14:07 |
| happygolucky | user82: are you looking to backup photos? dropbox is free and self automated, a lot of it can be made public but not sure how they handle photo displaying.. if they do at all | 14:07 |
| dnalor | BoxOfHamsters: so mainly following this: http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-04-upgrade-linux-kernel-to-2-6-39-0 should fix things ? | 14:09 |
| whitekidney | dnalor: wait what, you can't? | 14:09 |
| whitekidney | dnalor: that sounds weird.. | 14:09 |
| BoxOfHamsters | dnalor: No, it says in the bug report that using the official updates doesn't fix the problem, you need to update the kernel using a fix from a personal packaging archive | 14:10 |
| BoxOfHamsters | dnalor: "Installing official linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic package doesn't fix this problem " | 14:10 |
| OlaRune | if i have a domain pointed to a router with NAT, and behind that NAT is a server which i want to run irssi on, is there any way i can use the domain name as irssi vhost behind NAT+ | 14:11 |
| OlaRune | ? | 14:11 |
| BoxOfHamsters | I stand corrected, dnalor - that was the right page. I apologise. | 14:11 |
| BoxOfHamsters | I'm clearly not completely "with it" today :( | 14:11 |
| dnalor | BoxOfHamsters: hmm seems i'll have to wait it out. unless ! is there a way of running classic ubuntu on 11:10 ? | 14:11 |
| BoxOfHamsters | dnalor: You can go ahead and use the information that you had on that webpage, it is correct | 14:12 |
| BoxOfHamsters | If you have the kernel-ppa in your setup, that's where this bugfix is too | 14:13 |
| dnalor | BoxOfHamsters: checking headers list it only shows linux-headers-2.6.38 there's no .39 :\ | 14:13 |

| Gentoo64 | mukund, i wouldnt worry about it then :) | 14:22 |
| mukund | haha :D | 14:22 |
| mukund | Yeah but i am curious to know | 14:22 |
| Gentoo64 | exiff, ufw is the easiest way | 14:22 |
| Gentoo64 | mukund, i really have no idea why its doing that :s | 14:22 |
| mukund | please help | 14:22 |
| mukund | I had earlier installed nvidia drivers | 14:23 |
| Gentoo64 | exiff, i take it you opened ports on your router (to your local ip) ? as ubuntus firewall is disabled by default | 14:23 |
| mongy | mukund, with my setup I only see the boot splash for like 1 second before login screen appears, then I found out after installing cryptsetup (used to make encrypted partitions) it then showed me the boot splash from start to finish. | 14:24 |
| Gentoo64 | mukund, its probably something to do with the gpu drivers yes, you could try removing them and see if it works | 14:24 |
| happygolucky | exiff: are you sitting behind a router or direct connection | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | mukund: if you drop the @ symbol, highlighting will work properly | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | @mukund see how this is not highlighted ;) | 14:24 |
| mukund | xdm has some problems with nvidia i guess , it just wouldnt start (Xserver) had to uninstall nvidia and delete xorg.conf and restart x server so that default xorg file comes..since then no startup loader | 14:24 |
| exiff | Im not on ubuntu right now (im on my phone).. where can i learn about configuring it? | 14:24 |
| Gentoo64 | exiff, just do sudo ufw enable | 14:25 |
| Gentoo64 | then open the ports you want | 14:25 |
| rasmusth | guys I installed airfoilspeakers on 11.10 and I get te following error | 14:25 |

| exiff | Will do that, thanks Gentoo64 | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rasmusth: are there any bugs reported? | 14:25 |
| Gentoo64 | exiff, sudo ufw enable, then sudo ufw allow 22 for eg | 14:26 |
| rasmusth | ActionParsnip: no I can't find any, I believe it is because I have to force it to run with 4.0 | 14:26 |
| Gentoo64 | exiff, i take it you have no access to your router | 14:26 |
| exiff | I dont | 14:26 |
| Gentoo64 | ok | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | rasmusth: 4.0 version of what? | 14:27 |

| janix | Hi guys, i was just wondering which ubuntu distro that will suit a notebook. Per today i'm using Ubuntu, but it's running a bit slow. Probably due to the 1 gig ram.. Any suggestions? | 15:54 |
| compdoc | janix, the newer the distro, the more likely it has drivers for your hardware | 15:55 |
| jutnux | janix: Try installing a lighter desktop environment or running Unity 2d. | 15:56 |
| jutnux | If you install xfce then it will run super fast. | 15:56 |
| Dj_FlyBy | sigh, I hate having to resize a drive, especially just so I can install Ubuntu due to the main drive failing..... YuCk! | 15:56 |
| janix | im using the 11.10 distro, but i was thinking of maybe the xumbutu or kubuntu version | 15:57 |
| jutnux | DJ_FlyBy, do you have an Ultimate Boot CD? | 15:57 |
| jutnux | janix: Xubuntu would be your best bet. | 15:57 |
| muh4ha | janix: also take a look at LXDE - you _might_ like it better than xfce.. | 15:57 |
| jutnux | LXDE resembles windows. | 15:57 |
| escott | pconwell, is your ssh configured to chroot you in some way? | 15:57 |
| Gentoo64 | jutnux: as in ms windows? | 15:57 |
| Dj_FlyBy | jutnux: no, but it is retrievable I assume? | 15:57 |
| pconwell | escott: no - or at least it wasn't. I didn't do any special configuring on sshd - and it was working yesterday just fine. Last night it randomly starting throwing that error | 15:58 |
| Dj_FlyBy | jutnux: I have more than one pc so making a disk is easy, I just don't have any extra hard drives so I have to resize one of my 1.5TB drives to make room for the new install | 15:59 |
| jutnux | Dj_flyBy: Ultimate Boot Cd has loads of tools on for computer repair. | 16:00 |
| janix | ohh, yea i could try another environment, and then try the xumbuntu if the new desktop won't do the trick. Thanks everyone! appreciate it! | 16:00 |
| Dj_FlyBy | jutnux: no point in trying to repair it. The hard drive has 68 bad sectors on it that appeared overnight | 16:01 |
| gross | sorry, i seek a german ubuntu chanel. Know somebody of one? | 16:01 |
| muh4ha | janix: "Xubuntu" is just Ubuntu with xfce - so it's basically the same as trying a new desktop-environment. | 16:01 |
| blackshirt | gross: i don't know | 16:01 |
| gross | ok, but thanks | 16:02 |
| roadfish | I have connected two Ubuntu machines with an ethernet cable. How do I inspect the contents of one machine from the other? What keywords/software should I focus on during google searches? ... There are so many options for networking, I don't know what to focus on. | 16:02 |
| janix | will keep that in mind. thanks | 16:02 |
| CarlFK | gross: try #ubuntu-de | 16:03 |
| gross | ok, thanks | 16:03 |
| escott | pconwell, well the message implies that ssh cannot find the /bin/bash executable which should be something you can easily confirm by logging in locally. if that file does exist then it would seem you have a chroot configured | 16:03 |
| pconwell | escott: yeah, I already checked - /bin/bash seems to be okay, as far as I can tell | 16:04 |
| escott | roadfish, install openssh-server and use ssh | 16:04 |
| roadfish | escott: ok, thanks | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | roadfish: is a a direct wire, pc to pc? no router? | 16:05 |
| roadfish | ActionParsnip: direct wire | 16:06 |

| SadlyMistaken | dr_willis no, i did a whereis xmame. I don't know what is <tab> | 16:37 |
| coolstar | testswap: what errors do you get? | 16:37 |
| dr_willis | SadlyMistaken: that would be the TAB key | 16:37 |

| dr_willis | SadlyMistaken: the binari is not just 'xmame' i thinkits mame.x11 or xmame.x11 | 16:38 |
| MonkeyDust | SadlyMistaken tab is the key with the double arrow, left and right | 16:38 |
| * ActionParsnip has several worn out tab keys | 16:39 | |

| webnet | travisHAZE, ok if they ping each other than my questions are answered :) how do you have them configured to see each other? | 17:49 |
| escott | myrmidette, on a multi user system you have no protection from other users. on a single user system applications that demand the correct permissions will not work (ie ssh will assume your ssh key and authorized_keys files are compromised). also be thinking about backups. if you take a cp -a or rsync -a backup then you will be preserving these bad permissions in your backups | 17:49 |

| rk | i get a very low resolutions (640x680) when connecting the pc to the tv. I know for sure the tv is able to have more resolutions (ive connected other pcs via hdmi and get high resolutions). i installed latest nvidia drivers and get only 2 resolutions (320x200 and 640x480) can anybody help me? | 17:52 |
| dr_willis | ive seen wireless routers cause issues with samba :() heh. | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | clear`: boot to liveCD and reinstate the bootloader may help | 17:52 |
| pikaciu | sam22 : you can uname -r and then search the web for an appropriate gcc | 17:52 |
| travisHAZE | I can see both PCs with smbtree, but they're in different "workgroups" | 17:52 |
| travisHAZE | Didn't know linux used workgroups | 17:52 |
| eliotn | back | 17:52 |
| dr_willis | SAMBA uses workgroups.. | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | rk: your screen isn't reporting EDID like good ones do, you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot | 17:53 |
| tristanStrange | hey all. | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | travisHAZE: sure, PCs must either be in a workgroup or domain | 17:53 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: you edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf to set up what workgroup you want. | 17:53 |
| Sawyer | everything is slowed down, but looking at procs and such the load is almost idle but feels like the cpu is on a really heavy load? | 17:54 |
| tristanStrange | does the side by side window stuff described here work in oneric/unity? | 17:54 |
| tristanStrange | https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/shell-windows-states.html | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | travisHAZE: do you see the shares in the smbtree, not just the systems.. | 17:54 |
| travisHAZE | The LiveUSB can see everything | 17:54 |
| travisHAZE | This can't see anything with smbtree | 17:54 |

| rk | ActionParsnip: any pointer i can follow to fix this? | 17:55 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: you may want to get in the habbit of not using spaces in share names.. it can cause annoying problems at times. | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | rk: run: gksudo nvidia-settings then set the res to something, then click "save to x config file" | 17:56 |
| travisHAZE | I don't have any spaces | 17:56 |
| travisHAZE | in my share names | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | rk: you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the res in the file | 17:57 |
| travisHAZE | I have a - in my pcs name | 17:57 |
| travisHAZE | Also, I was full of crap when I said they could see everything | 17:58 |
| travisHAZE | Each PC can only see their share folder | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | travisHAZE: you may need to run; sudo smbpasswd -a $USER then set a samba password, you can then authenticate as the user using the pasword you set. May help | 17:59 |
| happygolucky | travisHAZE: well which path did you set in samba | 17:59 |
| dr_willis | if they are in different workgroups that would make sence. and yes. users do need a samba password like mentioned avbove | 17:59 |
| travisHAZE | I have it set (for this instance only) to allow guests full access to these folders | 18:00 |
| travisHAZE | Still need a samba pw? | 18:00 |
| dr_willis | set one anywayt | 18:00 |
| trijntje | How can I permanently enable third button emulation in oneiric? | 18:00 |
| dr_willis | i normally just edit the smb.conf to allow home shares, writeable, and set a samba password.. and then the users can get to their own homes from any box on the network | 18:01 |
| dr_willis | but for a quick transfer of 2 files. id just install ssh and use 'scp filename user@remotebox' | 18:01 |
| travisHAZE | in smb.conf they both have workgroup set as their workgroup | 18:01 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: you did resstart teh samba service after editing that file? | 18:02 |
| === axel is now known as Guest23498 | ||

| travisHAZE | Its still default | 18:02 |
| travisHAZE | both smb.conf files report that 'workgroup = WORKGROUP' | 18:02 |
| dr_willis | you did install samba? 'sudo apt-get install samba' ? | 18:02 |
| pikaciu | travisHAZE: then youe setting is 'user' | 18:03 |
| Guillem | My empathy accounts are lost at next computer start.... so I've to re-entry all the information every time. Any suggestion? | 18:03 |

| th^2 | hello. how i can change the order of my OSs in Grub? | 18:03 |

| dr_willis | travisHAZE: in the nautilus file manager, you can enter the machine names, or ips directly - ie: hit ctrl-l and enter smb://###.###.###.###/sharename (use the ip of the server) and it should see it.. unless theres some firewall/other issues | 18:05 |

| ActionParsnip | th^2: if youare more exact with your question, you get exact help ;) | 18:06 |
| bucky | samba is the most documented app on the internet | 18:06 |
| travisHAZE | dr_willis, could not display smb://192.168.1.***/lisa | 18:06 |
| dr_willis | bucky: and i dont see the need for them to hide it in .gvfs instead of some '/home/username/Network' type name. | 18:06 |
| dr_willis | bucky: i imagine ssh is close :) | 18:07 |
| th^2 | llutz, whattahell? | 18:07 |
| th^2 | ActionParsnip, danke! i will try that out | 18:07 |
| llutz | th^2: GRUB_DEFAULT= will need an entry-number. so no - your entry won't do | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: bucky: I'd say mencoder etc | 18:07 |
| bucky | no arguement from me :) | 18:08 |
| th^2 | llutz, ActionParsnip thx. thats it :) | 18:09 |
| th^2 | next you could recommend me a wallpaper changer :D like win 7 has default | 18:09 |
| travisHAZE | or just change it manually | 18:09 |
| bucky | gnome themes? is that in gnome 3 ? | 18:09 |
| th^2 | travisHAZE, or maybe not | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | th^2: I believe one is built in... | 18:10 |
| th^2 | by the interval i mean. like every 15mins or so | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | th^2: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/wallpaper-slideshow-app-for-gnome-3/ | 18:10 |
| th^2 | ActionParsnip, I meant a software wich changes it automatically | 18:10 |
| travisHAZE | dr_willis, trying to connect via IP returns failed to mount Windows w/e, trying to connect via machine name results in a similar error, but at least a little but more success | 18:10 |
| th^2 | ActionParsnip, okay and how many entries your bookmarks folder has? :D | 18:11 |
| bucky | that's probably the second most documented trick on google | 18:11 |
| travisHAZE | The machine name error is "Error: failed to retrieve share list from server." | 18:11 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: you sure thats the proper share name? if you got spaces in the share name.. now would be a good time to make a share without spaces for testing. | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | th^2: none, I just websearch like anybody else can.. | 18:11 |
| travisHAZE | changed lisa bckup to lisabckup | 18:11 |
| travisHAZE | so no spaces | 18:11 |
| th^2 | mmmm | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | th^2: all the guides Ive given you I have found using searches | 18:11 |

| RadiumOxide | Guys I've installed the p7zip module but when I try to open my 7zip archives I get the message 'Archive type not supported.' apart from the first archive (7z.001) which opens fine? | 18:13 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: so smb://theip.nimber/ shows all the shares ? | 18:13 |
| Sawyer | trying to load up something through LAN is also slowed down, only putting through less than 100kb/s | 18:13 |
| travisHAZE | dr_willis, yes, but wont let me access it (from the LiveUSB cd I can only access the machine with no shares) | 18:13 |
| th^2 | ActionParsnip, maybe i need some practicing then :D | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | th^2: maybe ;) | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | th^2: try duckduckgo too :) | 18:14 |
| th^2 | or i could use you as my search bot | 18:14 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: you are not shareing a ntfs mounted directory or anything weird are you? | 18:14 |
| travisHAZE | Actually yes | 18:14 |
| travisHAZE | Its from a windows aprtition | 18:14 |
| travisHAZE | partition | 18:14 |
| travisHAZE | win7 | 18:14 |
| Sawyer | noone that has any clue? | 18:14 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: permissions issues on the share then. are the most likely problem. | 18:14 |
| travisHAZE | Gah | 18:14 |
| ``PeeR | travisHAZE: it half-helped | 18:14 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: the directory you are shareing has to have some proper permissions.. | 18:15 |
| travisHAZE | Its in her home directory on the win partition | 18:15 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: a ntfs mounted fs - is a little.. complex. | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Sawyer: what sharing method are you using to transmit the data? | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Sawyer: is it wired or wireless? | 18:15 |
| travisHAZE | So I should wait for a male-male usb cord and try then huh? | 18:15 |
| Sawyer | dont think that is relevant but it used to work just fine earlier | 18:15 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: id just use ssh and scp. | 18:15 |

| dr_willis | travisHAZE: it can go either way really. I always have ssh on both machines. | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Sawyer: what are you sharing the files with and is it a wired or wireless connection | 18:17 |
| Sawyer | wired, and through samba | 18:17 |
| travisHAZE | alright, well ty dr_w | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Sawyer: thanks | 18:17 |
| pikaciu | travisHAZE: have you set the share options in win7 ? | 18:17 |
| dr_willis | travisHAZE: get ssh working on both ends.. use scp filename user@remote.box.ip:/path/to/put/the/file or similer.. | 18:17 |
| nrdb | atm the <alt> key can be used to drag a window without using the title bar... the key used, used to be configurable, I can't find anywhere to change it with this new install... how do I change the key or turn it off all together? | 18:17 |
| RadiumOxide | So I've installed the p7zip module but when I try to open any of the archives excluding the first one (NAME.7z.001) I get the message 'Archive type not supported.'. | 18:17 |
| ``PeeR | travisHAZE: logitech do not crash anymore.. but it does not install or uninstall anything... | 18:18 |

| fonix232 | and I would like a way to boot from it with GRUB and selectable windows, but also, as I often carry it around, and I want my PC work without it, but I want this Ubuntu to boot anywhere else. Any idea? | 18:28 |

| oCean | katesmith: I have no idea. For support with the network, /join #freenode channel | 18:28 |
| dr_willis | fonix232: you can install to a extenal usb hard drive - be sure to tell grub to install to that drive. if you want it totally seperate from the windows install. | 18:28 |
| katesmith | freenode a asperger channel | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | atengesdal: apt-fast is a 3rd party app, there is a PPA for it or you can manually download the script and shoveit in /usr/bin ;) | 18:28 |

| ActionParsnip | atengesdal: the default apt-get is fine | 18:28 |
| jussi | katesmith: ask about freenode policy in #freenode - no advertising in this channel here. | 18:28 |
| fonix232 | dr_willis, so you say that it runs instead of the windows loader when the USB drive is connected, but it won't totally overwrite it? | 18:29 |
| dr_willis | fonix232: be sure grub installs to the external drive. | 18:29 |
| katesmith | okay i wont do that | 18:29 |
| dr_willis | fonix232: it boots the grub on the flash. that grub has an entry for windows, or the linix install here. | 18:29 |
| katesmith | i just wanted to know where online i can go and find a spot | 18:29 |

| fonix232 | dr_willis, yes, I had it in mind, but wasn't sure if it would work on other PCs, as on my PC, GRUB always bugged me if I removed an internal drive, or it coulnd't find an entrys device | 18:30 |
| fonix232 | like if I had Win7 on hdd2, grub on hdd1 with ubuntu, and removed hdd2, GRUB never loaded | 18:30 |
| dr_willis | fonix232: you aer not installing grub to the internatl drive.. thats the whoe key. | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | katesmith: you can make a channel if you want, just join it and if it doesn't exist it will be made and you will be the OP | 18:30 |
| bucky | katesmith, with a simple how to on using irc from windows | 18:30 |
| fonix232 | dr_willis, yes, but it will still connect the other partitions to it, and such, it will error if it's connected to another PC | 18:31 |
| oCean | bucky: let's move on ok? IRC support is in #freenode, not here | 18:31 |

| fonix232 | dr_willis, yes I get that, my problem is, if such happens, for me atleast so far, GRUB didn't even load, but ran an emergency terminal | 18:32 |
| dr_willis | fonix232: IF you install the whole OS and grub to the external Drive.. it should work. | 18:32 |

| abstrakt | it just seems weird that that could even happen | 19:34 |
| abstrakt | esp on such a large distro | 19:34 |
| mongy | abstrakt, ? xfce doesnt use compiz, unity does because its a compiz plugin. | 19:35 |
| user82 | does anyone know a ppa for libbluray? | 19:35 |
| abstrakt | mongy, and I've been googling xfwm4 --replace, can you help me understand what it's doing and why it's doing it? | 19:35 |

| abstrakt | mongy, I'm actually quite in love with XFCE though... xfce is finally mature enough to pick up where GNOME2 left off | 19:36 |
| mongy | abstrakt, xfwm4 --replace is telling it to use xfwm as your window manager, same for compiz --replace. | 19:36 |
| abstrakt | xfce just gets so many little things right that gnome got wrong | 19:36 |
| abstrakt | mongy, "<mongy> abstrakt, xfwm4 --replace is telling it" ... what is "it"? | 19:36 |
| abstrakt | xorg? | 19:36 |
| mongy | abstrakt, agreed. mine is a gnome2 clone.. more so than any gnome3 classic setup | 19:36 |

| Kamijou-Touma | yes but if you want to use a GUI then windows in my opinion is the most user friendly | 20:45 |
| Ibyss | Kamijou-Touma: You do realize Ubuntu aims for a different type of computer users right? Common desktop users. I use terminals when I need to do work on a remote server. | 20:45 |
| malucious10 | guerrilha, type uname -m | 20:45 |
| Ibyss | ROFL! I find Linux more userfriendly compared to Windows 7 and Vista. XP on the other hand is wonderful and less "distracting". | 20:46 |
| guerrilha | malucious10, its i686 | 20:46 |
| guerrilha | 32 would be i586? | 20:46 |
| megamanx1978 | Well with linux I have lots of choices on which GUI I want to use | 20:46 |

| megamanx1978 | Like Xfce or Kde | 21:31 |
| mister | evildaemon, what do you consider as normal boot? | 21:31 |
| mister | evildaemon, do you mean a full ubuntu? | 21:31 |
| evildaemon | Uh, not having to open a "kernel" tty to run startx. | 21:32 |
| evildaemon | And startx actually working after installing XFCE. | 21:32 |
| DarkStar1 | Also another thing. How do I access virtual desktops? I see no info for them here | 21:32 |

| * DarkStar1 is regretting not install 10.10 at the moment | 21:33 | |

| mister | evildaemon, you might want to install a desktop manager like gdm or simething like that | 21:33 |
| evildaemon | Uh yeah, whats the REAL name for control-alt foo? | 21:34 |
| mister | evildaemon, they will provide a graphical login and also all the permissions to run graphical apps | 21:34 |

| abstrakt | like on a regular basis I get "system updates are available" in my gui | 21:38 |

| shadaloo | mister: | 21:39 |
| mister | abstrakt, use 'sudo aptitude update' and then 'sudo aptitude safe-upgrade' | 21:39 |
| abstrakt | which refreshes the repos, but how do I actually install packages that are newer and available? | 21:39 |
| shadaloo | I tried as root | 21:39 |
| Tm_T | abstrakt: sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:39 |
| mister | abstrakt, i recommend aptitude over apt-get because it manages dependecies better | 21:39 |
| abstrakt | Tm_T, will upgrade move me to a new distro if there's a new release available? | 21:39 |

| Tm_T | abstrakt: will not | 21:39 |
| abstrakt | mister, I hate the aptitude search interface though :( | 21:40 |
| abstrakt | the keys are so unintuitive, why couldn't they have at least standardized on something, vim keys, emacs keys... something | 21:40 |
| mister | abstrakt, you can use the search option in command line... faster and better ;) | 21:40 |

| FermiAnyon | yeah. don't even try piping with guis :) | 21:42 |

| mister | FermiAnyon, ok | 21:46 |
| shadaloo | where do I find the HD? | 21:46 |
| FermiAnyon | dusf, sorry. don't know xfce. you'll just have to find it in the menu somewhere. | 21:46 |
| shadaloo | like | 21:47 |

| shadaloo | guys | 21:52 |

| shadaloo | ./dev has like 200 things listed | 21:52 |
| mister | shadaloo, do that in your command line 'ls /dev/sd*' | 21:53 |
| mister | shadaloo, without the ' ' of course ;) | 21:53 |
| shadaloo | ok | 21:53 |
| shadaloo | I used fdisk -l | 21:53 |
| shadaloo | to find it | 21:53 |
| shadaloo | so now | 21:53 |
| shadaloo | I use | 21:53 |
| FloodBot1 | shadaloo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:53 |
| shadaloo | sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /home/myUser/Desktop/USB | 21:54 |
| mister | shadaloo, you can use fdisk too... but it need sudo rights... | 21:54 |
| shadaloo | right? | 21:54 |
| mister | shadaloo, correct | 21:54 |
| shadaloo | ok | 21:54 |
| shadaloo | here we go | 21:54 |
| mister | shadaloo, but ther are tools that will do the mounting for you automatically if it is a pendrive | 21:54 |
| mister | Benkinooby, roggen | 21:55 |
| shadaloo | mister: | 21:55 |
| shadaloo | what tools? | 21:55 |

| aikInsaan|home | what apt should I get to install x11vnc on ubuntu-server? apt-get install x11vnc? | 21:55 |
| evildaemon | For backups, I'd use something like tar. | 21:55 |
| mister | shadaloo, hm.... i was in your situation a looooooooong time ago... sorry i can not remeber the name... google for it a bit and you will find as i did | 21:55 |
| mister | shadaloo, but if you need the mount only one time then forget about the tools | 21:56 |
| ikonia | aikInsaan|home: open the package manager, search for vnc, you'll see options (different versions) pick the one you like and install it | 21:56 |
| shadaloo | mister: do you have any idea what the name is | 21:56 |
| shadaloo | mister: yes just one time | 21:56 |
| mister | shadaloo, ok, so you want to backup files from a partition | 21:56 |
| loginix | k | 21:56 |
| mister | shadaloo, did you allready mount the partition? | 21:56 |
| mister | shadaloo, with the command you said... sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /home/myUser/Desktop/USB | 21:57 |
| evildaemon | Whats the system you install to manage network connections? | 21:57 |
| evildaemon | I need it so I can get off the carpet. | 21:57 |
| mister | evildaemon, you can either go for the NetworkManager or you go for wicd | 21:57 |
| mister | evildaemon, wicd is more independent and has a command line interface too for emergencies | 21:58 |
| evildaemon | I think I'll opt for wicd. | 21:58 |
| mister | evildaemon, one thing | 21:58 |

| CHABI | yeah, that's what I'm going for, Mister. | 22:04 |
| mister | CHABI, ok, first of, vpn is "virual private network" it is for establishing secure network connections, not more not less... it got not too much to do with remote control | 22:05 |
| raven | pulseaudio how to setup loopback 5.1 graphical monitor/peakmeter | 22:05 |
| mister | CHABI, except if you might want to secure your remote communication | 22:06 |
| branko89 | I do this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjmF_eqLY7A | 22:06 |
| mister | CHABI, what you want now is a software the manages the remote control | 22:06 |
| branko89 | same | 22:06 |
| CHABI | is vinigre not adequate for that? | 22:06 |
| mister | CHABI, so what you want is program called vnc on your windows computer and vnc on your linux compter | 22:06 |
| branko89 | and now i cant download appl on ubuntu sc | 22:07 |
| mister | CHABI, is responsible for sending the screen of the windows computer to your linux computer and seding the keyboard input from linux to windows | 22:07 |
| mister | CHABI, i don't konw vinigre | 22:07 |
| mister | CHABI, vnc is the best know program in that area | 22:08 |
| CHABI | mister, makes sense sofar. Vinigre is Oneiric's built in remote desktop viewer | 22:08 |
| sent17inel | anyone know how to start gnome network manager from terminal? | 22:08 |
| mister | CHABI, i am not sure if the linux desktop viewer will work with windows | 22:08 |
| MonkeyDust | sent17inel try nm-applet | 22:08 |
| sent17inel | thanks monkey | 22:09 |
| mister | sent17inel, nm-applet or something like that | 22:09 |
| Ibyss | sent17inel: nm-applet & | 22:09 |
| mister | oh, too slow sent17inel | 22:09 |
| Ibyss | With the ampersand. | 22:09 |
| sent17inel | its ok :) thanks mister | 22:09 |
| MonkeyDust | the & makes it rub in the background | 22:09 |
| MonkeyDust | run | 22:09 |
| CHABI | mister, vinigre has a vcn protocol | 22:09 |
| mister | branko89, sorry, i can not help you further... i have to go to bed :( | 22:09 |
| sent17inel | k | 22:10 |
| mister | CHABI, i was never in the situation to remote control a windows computer from linux ... once i was but the i used teamviewer ... it's a quick and dirty solution | 22:10 |
| mister | CHABI, if you are sure that the remoteviewer can handle windows then head on... i am sure there is a good tutoral or how-to in the interwebs | 22:11 |
| mister | CHABI, good night | 22:11 |
| nrdb | atm the <alt> key can be used to drag a window without using the title bar... the key used, could be configured in previous versions , I can't find anywhere to change it with this new install... how do I change the key or turn it off all together? | 22:11 |
| mister | CHABI, have to o to bed ;) | 22:11 |
| CHABI | mister, thanks for the help | 22:11 |

| apwbdjp | silentnights, the fan is usually controlled by the bios, I never heard about an uncalibrated fan. Is CPU usage too high from the moment you start the machine? | 22:51 |
| silentnights | apwbdjp: here is output of sensors command : http://paste.ubuntu.com/767382/ as you can see the temperature is 79, and the fan is not running at full speed yet | 22:51 |
| Alonea | ali: what package are you trying to install again? | 22:52 |
| ali | flashplugin-nonfree | 22:52 |
| silentnights | apwbdjp: no, the cpu is not too high.. I don't think so... From what I read throw googling I might need to edit /etc/sensors.d/sensors.conf and set low and high values for the fan. but I am not sure. | 22:53 |

| Talish | Can anyone tell me how I can get rid of the sidebar thing on ubntu 11.00? | 22:54 |
| apwbdjp | silentnights, as I said, the fan is (usually, on all hardware that I dealt with) controlled by the bios, not by the os | 22:54 |
| silentnights | apwbdjp: I don't know how to debug the issue, if you can suggest anything it would be great, btw my fan goes faster when the temperature goes higher like 85 or something | 22:54 |
| Alonea | ali: did you add the restricted packages to your list? | 22:54 |
| brightspark | pion- Anglais ici, si tu veux parler francais: #ubuntu-fr | 22:54 |

| raven | pulseaudio how to setup loopback 5.1 graphical monitor/peakmeter | 22:55 |
| apwbdjp | silentnights, did you try burning the cpu until it shuts down? See at which temperature is dies? (make sure you've got enough security on your cpu before doing this) | 22:55 |
| ali | dunno what you mean:S i just installed ubuntu on the usb and trying to start add packages | 22:55 |
| brightspark | keithclark, is it a symbolic link or a hard link? | 22:55 |
| ali | that the first | 22:55 |
| slugzzz | Talish, you have to install a special plugin for compiz manager. | 22:55 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, NO DONT DO THAT. DONT OVER HEAT YOUR CPU! | 22:56 |
| Talish | sluggz how do I even use compiz? and where can i get this plugin? | 22:56 |
| keithclark | brightspark, I created it in nautilus via 'make link' | 22:56 |
| silentnights | apwbdjp: no, I did not try to, but my laptop hangs sometimes when it goes overheat. | 22:56 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, what is your problem exactly ? | 22:56 |
| Alonea | ali: ok, go to your package manager and check the rest of the repos. Its in one of those. | 22:56 |
| MahaVishnu | apwbdjp, it's not a good idea to tell someone to over heat an electronic device just for future reference. | 22:57 |
| ali | you mean maybe update manager? | 22:57 |
| Alonea | ali: I haven't used gnome in forever, so I don't know what package maanger it uses anymore | 22:57 |
| apwbdjp | MahaVishnu, I don't know, it's getting pretty hard to fry a cpu these days.. | 22:57 |
| keithclark | brightspark, I assume that would be a symbolic link? | 22:57 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: my temperature is always high, the minimum when I just start my laptop is 55, and usually when It's idle in 60... And the temperature goes over 90c many times :s | 22:57 |
| BarkingFish | silentnights: which CPU? | 22:57 |
| incorrect | can i change the theme? | 22:58 |
| Alonea | ali: you are trying to get flash correct? I believe its included in chrome automatically. | 22:58 |
| apwbdjp | MahaVishnu, but still, I admit it's not very safe either. | 22:58 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, have you tried using an air duster and spraying it n the vents? is your fan running, are you using this laptop on a completely flat surface ? | 22:58 |
| nrdb | atm the <alt> key can be used to drag a window without using the title bar... the key used, could be configured in previous versions , I can't find anywhere to change it with this new install... With ccsm I completly disabled the 'Move Window' plugin... but the <alt> can still move the window... how do I change the key or turn it off all together? | 22:58 |
| brightspark | keithclark, I'm not sure; currently trying to figure it out. I typically use the terminal to do file manipulation. | 22:58 |
| Naynay_ | Why isn't ubuntu 11.10 remembering the passwords to any of my wireless access points? Every time I connect to one I have to type the password in | 22:58 |
| trism | incorrect: yes, install gnome-tweak-tool | 22:58 |
| silentnights | Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz | 22:58 |
| incorrect | you are kidding right? | 22:58 |
| BarkingFish | silentnights: give me a moment | 22:58 |
| brightspark | keithclark, you are correct. You could see if you get the same behaviour from a hard link. | 22:59 |
| trism | incorrect: no, gnome removed the appearance settings (you could just use gsettings from the command line but gnome-tweak-tool is easier) | 22:59 |
| ali | but i wanna firefox:S | 22:59 |
| incorrect | trism, unbelievable! | 22:59 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: my laptop is new, so no dust yet... and yes it's on flat surface | 22:59 |
| Alonea | ali: yeah, its there. Adobe Flash plugin | 22:59 |
| silentnights | BarkingFish: take your time, am here :) | 22:59 |
| BarkingFish | silentnights: you need to have your laptop checked over. 90c is the upper thermal shutdown limit on an i5-2410m | 22:59 |
| BarkingFish | I suspect that's a fault | 23:00 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, how new ? 50c-60c on a laptop is ok. but 90c is not. how often is it 90c ? | 23:00 |
| brightspark | keithclark, use the command "ln" in the terminal to make a hardlink (it will do symbolic links iff you use the "--symbolic" flag). | 23:00 |
| apwbdjp | silentnights, some BIOS's do show temperature, in the setup settings, did you check that? | 23:00 |
| keithclark | brightspark, yes, researching now | 23:00 |
| Alonea | ali: if you enable those other package locations and search for flash, you will see it. | 23:00 |
| MahaVishnu | apwbdjp, that temp will be under like 0% load though. | 23:00 |
| apwbdjp | silentnights, if temperature doesn't get high, there, then it's either cpu usage goes too hard for some reason, or sensors is screwing with you | 23:00 |
| silentnights | BarkingFish: I tried to install Backtrack just to check if the temperature isthe same and I found thetemperature is much lower, in 40s c | 23:01 |
| ali | dont understand you:S i=m realy new to ubuntu | 23:01 |
| Alonea | ali: unfortunately, I gotta go. Hopefully you figure it out! If not, I am sure someone else can help | 23:01 |
| apwbdjp | MahaVishnu, sure, but he said the temp is high even on idle, so it'll give a slight idea | 23:01 |
| ali | k ty | 23:01 |
| BarkingFish | silentnights: that is very odd then. | 23:01 |
| silentnights | MahaVishny: new as it is 2 months old | 23:01 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, so it never goes to 90c in a different linux ? | 23:01 |
| Alonea | ali: umm, yeah, its under "settings" in whatever your package manager is | 23:01 |
| BarkingFish | What version of Ubuntu are you using on your machine, silentnights? | 23:02 |
| Alonea | ali: should be a bunch of check boxes under sources or something like that. | 23:02 |
| Alonea | ali: look around | 23:02 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: It goes over 90 if for example am opening many tabs on FireFox | 23:02 |
| incorrect | i've somehow lost indicator | 23:02 |
| incorrect | how can i get that back? | 23:02 |
| keithclark | brightspark, hmm, 'hard link not allowed' | 23:02 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: only saw got that high on Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 but I haven't tried many distros | 23:03 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, that is very curious, my girlfriend had a laptop that was getting to 90c it actually turned out to be a faulty h/d was some how affecting the whole system ( when I changed the hd it fixed the temps ) not that this is your problem but it's possible alot of laptop hd/s do go bad. | 23:03 |
| BarkingFish | silentnights: that is definitely abnormal for a brand new machine. My laptop barely passes 65c, and it's about 6 years old. I only have a Celeron M 1.6Ghz in it. | 23:03 |
| silentnights | BarkingFish: Ubuntu 11.10 now | 23:03 |
| brightspark | keithclark, you are trying to link to a file on another partition. I'm not sure how to make that work. Here is a thought- are you certain the partition is mounted in /media when you try to access it remotely? | 23:04 |
| BarkingFish | A new machine, with a relatively new processor in it certainly shouldn't be activating UTEL with just a few progs and tabs running. | 23:04 |
| slugzzz | Hey all, ubuntu 11.10 keeps logging me out seemingly randomly while I am on the web... any suggestions? | 23:04 |
| BarkingFish | *sorry - damn my shortcuts... | 23:04 |
| trism | incorrect: indicator-applet is no longer in the repos, wasn't ported in time, but there is a ppa: https://launchpad.net/~jconti/+archive/gnome3 , and the branch should be merged soon | 23:04 |
| silentnights | The thing I notice is that the fan can go much faster, for example now the temp is 66 and I barely hear it running, while when itgoes for example 85 or 90, I start hear it running. | 23:05 |
| BarkingFish | that's better. UTEL should have read upper thermal emergency limit. | 23:05 |
| silentnights | so the thing is I need the fan to run at that high speed earlier | 23:05 |
| keithclark | brightspark, yes, mounted fine | 23:05 |
| BarkingFish | I had my shorthand plugin on | 23:05 |
| BarkingFish | :) | 23:05 |
| incorrect | trism, i am a bit confused, i something as i installed xubuntu thinking there was no way to get a gnome 2 type interface | 23:06 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, how fast is your fan spinning, you can do 'sensors' in a terminal | 23:06 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: no it doesn't show it's speed with sensors: here is output http://paste.ubuntu.com/767382/ | 23:06 |
| trism | incorrect: xfce has an indicator applet that should be installed by default, maybe you just need to add it to the panel | 23:06 |
| apwbdjp | silentnights, that's not controlled by the OS, generally, the fanspeed is a BIOS matter.. and I still have the feeling that sensors is lying to you | 23:07 |
| brightspark | keithclark, Is your FTP set up to allow access to places other than the home directory? It may be a security feature preventing you from accessing files you are not permitted to. | 23:07 |
| trism | incorrect: sorry I thought you were still using gnome 3 fallback | 23:07 |
| owenll | Has anyone managed to get http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od Channel 4 on demand to work on Ubuntu / Linux? | 23:07 |
| silentnights | apwbjp: but the laptop goes so slow when the heat goes up so it seems not to be lying | 23:07 |
| robin0800 | !notunity | incorrect | 23:08 |
| ubottu | incorrect: 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 | 23:08 |
| apwbdjp | silentnights, you say that it does show you over 90° and the machine keeps running. Wouldn't an i5 go into security shut down, at this temp? | 23:08 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, I hate to say it, but did you check these temps in windows also just to be double sure, can you feel a hotspot near the fan ? | 23:08 |
| === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw | ||
| keithclark | brightspark, ahh, this might be, not sure | 23:08 |
| slugzzz | Has anyone else experienced issues with 11.10 logging out randomly? | 23:09 |
| incorrect | robin0800, i got that far, i just trying to get back to something closer to gnome2 desktop this time last year | 23:09 |
| Talish | Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the sidebar in 11.10? | 23:09 |
| keithclark | slugzzz, no. Works fine for me. | 23:09 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: No I don't have windows installed, and yes it seems hot around the fan. | 23:09 |
| incorrect | Talish, go back to gnome-classic like me | 23:09 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, like I said before, I have encountered a failing HD that will cause system heat in a laptop (somehow idk how) have you checked the s.m.a.r.t status of the h/d ? | 23:10 |
| brightspark | keithclark, can you access ".." ie the directory level up in FTP? | 23:10 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: no I haven't, how can I do so? | 23:10 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, is it an HP laptop lol. | 23:10 |
| apwbdjp | slugzzz, I did have that. For me it was X segfaulting (Ubuntu Netbook, two years ago), I reinstall the system from nothing, and it's working fine. I'm sure this is of no help, but still, just to answer your question. | 23:10 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: No, It's a lenovo G570 :) | 23:10 |
| hejar | thanks | 23:10 |
| hejar | its work now | 23:10 |
| robin0800 | incorrect: well I think gnome classic is very configurable and can even run compiz | 23:11 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, ahh good hp is crap. anyway in a terminal type sudo palimpsest you might have to do sudo apt-get install palimpsest | 23:11 |
| roasted | Has anybody successfully used the open source ATI drivers with a laptop and used HDMI out with no issues? | 23:11 |
| slugzzz | apwbdjp, I've heard of that issue.... I don't think it is that, though... I had no problems until the most recent batch of software updates. | 23:12 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, select a drive in the left pane of that program, and then in the top right you see a button for like check smart status. | 23:12 |
| incorrect | ok my next question, can i get compiz running with gnome classic? | 23:12 |
| slugzzz | It's really driving me absolutely mad. | 23:12 |
| slugzzz | incorrect, of course. | 23:12 |
| incorrect | slugzzz, do i need to install anything? | 23:12 |
| uira | Someone can help-me with my 1366x768 macbookair display. 4.1, 11 inch | 23:12 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: It says disk is healthy | 23:12 |
| uira | the resolution doesnt work | 23:12 |
| slugzzz | incorrect, you should install the compiz manager tool from the software center. | 23:13 |
| Talish | incorrect how do i do that? | 23:13 |
| apwbdjp | silentnights, how about it's temperature? (clic the SMART Status to have a full report) | 23:13 |
| robin0800 | incorrect: yes see webupd8 article | 23:13 |
| keithclark | brightspark, no, I cannot | 23:13 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights. silentnights hit view smart data then run self test just to be double sure. | 23:13 |
| aikInsaan|home | what's the command to find out the kernel & os version etc that you are currenly using on bash | 23:13 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: It's temp is 40 and I started the selftest | 23:14 |
| slugzzz | Is anyone here running ubuntu on an Alienware m15x? | 23:14 |
| poz | ubottu, you are my hero | 23:14 |
| ubottu | poz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:14 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, you said this is 2 months old. when did the problem start? and the failing drive I had also had a normal temperature. but it did fail the selftest. | 23:14 |
| aikInsaan|home | what's the command to find out the kernel & os version etc that you are currenly using on bash | 23:14 |
| poz | MahaVishnu!! | 23:15 |
| brightspark | keithclark, look up "ftpchroot". It sounds like the tool you need. | 23:15 |
| Talish | Who can help me 1 on 1 to make ubuntu 11.04 look like 10????????/ | 23:15 |
| aikInsaan|home | where is the x11vnc binary kept? | 23:15 |
| robin0800 | slugzzz: that won't get compiz to run it needs a hack | 23:16 |
| poz | Talish, 11.04 looks like 11.1 already | 23:16 |
| aikInsaan|home | I get 'couldn't find package x11vnc' when I do go 'apt-get install x11vnc' | 23:16 |
| poz | what is the difference? | 23:16 |
| aeon-ltd | aikInsaan|home: uname -a | 23:16 |
| Talish | poz: i ment 10 | 23:17 |
| aeon-ltd | aikInsaan|home: lsb_release -a | 23:17 |
| poz | oh i see | 23:17 |
| Talish | @poz I want to get rid of the sidebar | 23:17 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: The self test went fine, I first installed ubuntu 11.04 on it, and I noticed it hangs from time to time, I never suspected the temperature thing, and later I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and then i noticed sometimes it goes slow when I open many tabs onfirefox with many youtube for example... so I started to investigate the temperature, and I found out it's temp is always high. | 23:17 |
| poz | sorry, i thought you ment change the .04 into a .1 | 23:17 |
| poz | you dont like the side bar? | 23:17 |
| robin0800 | !notunity | Talish | 23:17 |
| ubottu | Talish: 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 | 23:17 |
| Talish | Nah I prefer the old ubuntu | 23:17 |
| aeon-ltd | aikInsaan|home: you need to either get a ppa or enable whatever repo x11vnc is in | 23:17 |
| poz | so why not install the old ubuntu? | 23:18 |
| bob_ | sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback | 23:18 |

| Talish | whats xfce? | 23:18 |
| BoomerBile | can anyone point me to a guide for setting up wireless connections using wpa2 personal without using network manager and preferably with bonding support... i've got the bonding set up but I have no idea how to use the new /etc/network/interfaces file with wpa2 or wireless | 23:18 |

| bob_ | xface is another desktop | 23:19 |
| bob_ | xfce rather | 23:19 |
| aikInsaan|home | aeon-ltd: thanks! | 23:19 |

| roasted | Has anybody successfully used the open source ATI drivers with a laptop and used HDMI out with no issues? | 23:19 |
| poz | mahavishnu, were you the guy who helped me yesterday? | 23:19 |
| MahaVishnu | poz, yea man ;-) | 23:19 |
| robin0800 | incorrect: see webupd8 article | 23:19 |
| keithclark | brightspark, could it be because I've not modified my fstab for this drive? | 23:20 |
| poz | can you tell me about the blacklist, like what it does? or are you busy helping someone right now? | 23:20 |
| incorrect | robin0800, maybe i missed something | 23:20 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: I think ever since i purchased it, but I did not notice till later. I had Ubuntu 11.04 installed and noticed it hangs from time to time, And I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and noticed it slows down, so I started to suspect the temperature, and I set the sensors and noticed temp is high | 23:20 |
| MahaVishnu | poz, it's a list of 'kernel modules' that the kernel is told to 'blacklist' or 'ignore' on bootup so they are not loaded on the system. | 23:20 |
| robin0800 | incorrect: it needs a hack see the article | 23:20 |
| brightspark | keithclark, If stuff is mounting correctly I doubt it, I think FTP's security is simply denying you access to anything outside of your home directory. | 23:21 |
| keithclark | brightspark, I believe that there is a settings file for that, no? | 23:21 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, since it is 2 months old, contact lenovo since it's under warranty it sounds like it might be somehow defective since it is too new to be clogged with dust. and you can feel the heat on the bottom like I could with my gf's laptop. I would imagine that some piece of hardware is faulty since an i5 should take alot to get to those temps you are showing. | 23:21 |
| brightspark | keithclark, I think you need to enable access to /media by using ftpchroot or similar. | 23:22 |

| cheshire_fox | I'm on 10.10 and my wireless driver now refuses to work after updating to the latest kernel from the official repos. It's a broadcom chipset | 23:23 |
| poz | so what does the "tpm_tis" kernal do? | 23:23 |
| MahaVishnu | poz, were you just curious are you having some problem still ? | 23:23 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: but isn't it weird that it's not same hight temperature with backtrack?? | 23:23 |
| apwbdjp | !broadcom | cheshire_fox | 23:23 |
| ubottu | cheshire_fox: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 23:23 |
| poz | curious as to what it does | 23:23 |
| trism | ali: make sure multiverse is enabled and install flashplugin-installer (or enable partner and install adobe-flashplugin) | 23:23 |
| poz | i guess i can google it | 23:23 |
| ali | :S | 23:24 |
| roasted | Has anybody successfully used the open source ATI drivers with a laptop and used HDMI out with no issues? | 23:24 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, yea I guess. but there is no reason if you are not running anything on ubuntu that it should get hot either. 40-60c I have seen on laptops normally. | 23:24 |
| poz | i agree | 23:25 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: I guess I will try install other distro and check as well, and at last I will install Windows and see. | 23:25 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, are you using the cpufreq adjuster applet at all? | 23:26 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: yes am setting it on demand, if not using it, it even normally goes higher faster | 23:26 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, and you installed 64bit ubuntu right? | 23:26 |
| silentnights | yes | 23:26 |
| MahaVishnu | wtf -_- | 23:26 |
| === coil is now known as C0il | ||
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: what's wrong? :D | 23:27 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, hrm. im almost at a loss here then, idk why it's cooler on backtrack it really shouldn't be. | 23:27 |
| cheshire_fox | apwbdjp: lspci didn't give me anything | 23:28 |
| MahaVishnu | I was half hoping you installed 32bit and thats why it was getting hot heh. | 23:28 |
| cheshire_fox | wait, tried it again and now it did | 23:28 |
| cheshire_fox | wtf | 23:28 |
| fizyplankton | is there a way to make the command "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" execute at startup? i need it to launch up the wifi drivers, and it is really annoying having to type it every time. | 23:28 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: I can install backtrack again and see how is it goin, and I will try Fedora as well just to double check the problem there | 23:28 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, if you would like.. im still leaning towards faulty hardware some how. | 23:29 |
| trism | fizyplankton: add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules | 23:29 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, what do you have in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq | 23:30 |
| apwbdjp | MahaVishnu, I agree, brand new i5 should NOT reach 90° this easily. | 23:31 |
| fizyplankton | trism: and is there anyway to make ndiswrapper modprobe-able without root? my wifi drivers occasionally crap out on my, so i cant SSH in, so i was thinking aboiut setting up a script to "sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper; sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" every day at like 3 am or so just to refresh the drivers | 23:31 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: nothing | 23:31 |
| yamahaalex37 | installing ubuntu, has network error | 23:32 |
| yamahaalex37 | on my laptop with integrated wireless | 23:32 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, call lenovo, get it looked @ COULD be a bug with that specific model, can you paste the model again? like me and apwbdjp it *really* should not get that hot only time I ever got my i3 that hot I had accidently unplugged the fan cleaning it out. | 23:32 |
| yamahaalex37 | Network autoconfig failed, your network probably not using DHCP protocol | 23:32 |
| yamahaalex37 | does this mean i probably wont get wireless internet with my laptop? | 23:32 |
| keithclark | anyone else know why I cannot access a symbolic linked directory via ftp? I can when on the physical machine. | 23:32 |
| MahaVishnu | keithclark, cause symbolic links don't work in ftp. | 23:33 |
| keithclark | MahaVishnu, ok, how to make it work then? | 23:33 |
| yamahaalex37 | Network autoconfig failed, your network probably not using DHCP protocol | 23:33 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: it's lenovo G570, here is link on lenovo http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=130485 | 23:34 |
| MahaVishnu | keithclark, the link cannot extend to where the ftp user does not have access to go. do you know what I mean ? | 23:34 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: try turning off DHCP in ubuntu;s wireless options, and make sure you router IS using DHCP. more than one thing administering DHCP results in network errors | 23:34 |
| CarlFK | keithclark: often ftp server will chroot to something, and if the symlink links out of it, no access | 23:34 |
| sebastian | aa | 23:34 |
| keithclark | MahaVishnu, yes, how to grant permission? | 23:34 |
| CarlFK | keithclark: or the server doesn't follow links. apache is that way by default I think. | 23:34 |
| silentnights | Mahavishnu, apwbdjp: Thank you both.. I will do more testing with other distros and see what I get | 23:34 |
| MahaVishnu | keithclark, make the ftp user owner of that folder? im not really sure sorry. | 23:34 |
| slugzzz | Hey all... so Ubuntu seems to keep logging out on me randomly... but especially when I full-screen a youtube video... any ideas? | 23:34 |
| MahaVishnu | I have *NEVER* used ftp lol. | 23:35 |
| yamahaalex37 | fizyplankton, i believe my router is dhcp | 23:35 |
| inertial | if I check the 'Source code' option in the package manager, should I be able to see source packages for every single package or is it just select ones? I am looking for the source package for libstdc++ | 23:35 |
| apwbdjp | silentnights, if on all the distros you'll be testing temp with sensors, then think of trying Windows too | 23:35 |
| yamahaalex37 | i see dhcp address and mac addresses in 192.168.0.1 | 23:35 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: btw o you know what does /etc/sensors.d/sensors.conf then if it doesn't control fan? | 23:35 |
| keithclark | MahaVishnu, I need to access some files on a mounted drive on a remote computer. How else to access them? | 23:35 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, have you done all the bios updates for that machine? they might require windows anyway. | 23:36 |
| apwbdjp | silentnights, it's probably faulty hardware, but it's still worth checking before shipping it back | 23:36 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, that controls your sensors command | 23:36 |
| murfie | oh, how about a nice off-topic chat? | 23:36 |
| trism | inertial: with the source enabled, you just need to use: apt-get source package_name; and you can download the source into the current directory | 23:36 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: right click on the wireless icon, chick edit connections, wireless, select the one your using, click edit, then click ipv4 settings, try automatic(DHCP), then go to ipv6 and make sure its disabled. if that wont work, try all the different ipv4 things under method | 23:37 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, my fans show up in my sensors command. Im on a desktop though.... fan2: 2547 RPM (min = 0 RPM) | 23:37 |
| user82 | does anyone know how i can preview a animated wallpaper in gnome 3? | 23:37 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: No, haven't done the update. will try it once I install windows for testing | 23:37 |
| apwbdjp | keithclark, mount the drive inside a folder, somewhere the user has access to? | 23:37 |
| inertial | trism: thanks I'll try that | 23:37 |
| yamahaalex37 | fizyplankton, thanks. its not installed yet. but i will when it is | 23:37 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, thats what i'd do. if windows runs hot. or if the bios updates don't fix it. id call lenovo period ;-) | 23:37 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: what isnt? | 23:37 |
| yamahaalex37 | ubuntu | 23:37 |
| yamahaalex37 | this was on install autoconfig | 23:37 |
| keithclark | apwbdjp, not sure how to do that exactly | 23:37 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: do you know why my fan speed doesn't show it's speed with sensors command? | 23:38 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, always possible its an ubuntu bug just doesn't seem like it. | 23:38 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: just cutious, what ubuntu are you installing? | 23:38 |
| yamahaalex37 | 11.10 i believe | 23:38 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, no, try doing sudo sensors-detect and follow the onscreen instructions. | 23:38 |
| _cb | clear | 23:38 |
| _cb | Is there a way to put a folder on the application bar on the left on Unity? | 23:39 |
| apwbdjp | keithclark, you check out mount to see the decide name and where it's mounted, then you unmount it, mkdir a new mount location into your home, and mount /dev/device new_location, (not very clear, I admit..) | 23:39 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: ok. im using 10.04 LTS, so i dont know that much about oneiric. i only use lucid. never used maverick, tried natty once, hated it, and never used oneiric | 23:39 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: I did sudo sensors-detect and followed the instruction from ubuntu, I saw some people use fancontrol to control their fan speed, I just don't know how to... lol | 23:39 |
| cheshire_fox | Alrighty, I installed the STA driver for my chipset using that fairly simple how to, but now the gnome network applet says that the 'device is not ready (firmware missing)' I presume I can't use the STA drivers then? | 23:39 |
| trism | _cb: you can create a .desktop file that runs: nautilus /path/to/folder | 23:39 |
| trism | _cb: then drag and drop that to the launcher | 23:39 |
| inertial | fans are often controlled by I2C.. the lm-sensors.org page has more info | 23:40 |
| yamahaalex37 | wtf | 23:40 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, being a laptop, it might only have a coretemp-isa-* sensor chip not a. it87* type sensors ( the one that show fan speed ) | 23:40 |
| yamahaalex37 | i am on install: Partition Disks | 23:40 |
| keithclark | apwbdjp, yeah did not follow you at all. | 23:40 |
| yamahaalex37 | sda, b, or d? | 23:40 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: yes right it only has coretemp-isa-0000 | 23:40 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: if your still configing the install, dont worry about the wireless not working. thats like being upset that your child cant read or write when your wife is only 3 months pregnant | 23:41 |
| yamahaalex37 | ok fizyplankton | 23:41 |
| yamahaalex37 | how do i know which disk is which | 23:41 |
| yamahaalex37 | resize SCSI 1, 2, or 6 | 23:41 |
| yamahaalex37 | all say (0,0,0) | 23:41 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: how many physical harddrives are in your machine? | 23:41 |
| inertial | trism: is there some extra step to automatically unpack the package and apply any ubuntu specific patches to it? | 23:41 |
| _cb | trism will give that a try. Thanks ! | 23:42 |
| cheshire_fox | fizyplankton: I'm the one worrying about her wireless not working :P | 23:42 |
| fizyplankton | cheshire_fox: not trying to be rude, but who are you? | 23:42 |
| Ibyss | yamahaalex37: sda = drive 1. sdb = drive 2, sda1 = partion1 on drive 1. sda2 = partition2 on drive 1. | 23:42 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, you can't run fancontrol with no it87 from what i'm reading ... no way to control the fan. | 23:42 |
| yamahaalex37 | fizyplankton, 2 | 23:42 |
| kashyap1 | what does this mean Makefile:415: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. oe_runmake faiiiiled | 23:42 |
| yamahaalex37 | i did manual, found the free space, and said auto partition | 23:42 |
| trism | inertial: that should happen automatically for most packages | 23:42 |
| yamahaalex37 | it made 2 partitions, one was swap | 23:42 |
| BoomerBile | can anyone point me to a guide for setting up wireless connections using wpa2 personal without using network manager and preferably with bonding support... i've got the bonding set up but I have no idea how to use the new /etc/network/interfaces file with wpa2 or wireless | 23:43 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: it should do that | 23:43 |
| silentnights | Mahavishnu: Ok, thanks a lot. at least now I don't have to keep looking... That was about to drive me nuts :) | 23:43 |
| inertial | trism: it decided to download gcc instead of libstdc++, and it seems there are some ubuntu specific patches to be applied.. well if you don't know, don't worry, I'll figure it out.. | 23:43 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: the swap partition is like an extension of your RAM, should the computer ever need it | 23:43 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, when you get to windows install 'speedfan' it will show you all your sensors info. | 23:43 |
| yamahaalex37 | is swap like pagefile | 23:43 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: yes exactly | 23:43 |
| [deXter] | Hi all, I'm unable to browse SMB shares on my network using Nautilus.. however, smbclient seems to work just fine. The error message in Nautilus is "Unable to mount location - failed to retrieve share list from server". Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks. | 23:43 |
| yamahaalex37 | is 6gb ext and 7gb swap enough for ubuntu? | 23:43 |
| Idk123 | whois idk123 | 23:44 |
| MahaVishnu | silentnights, maybe your fans will show / maybe not. but like I said a few times if it is hot in windows too and the bios updates don't fix it being hot atleast in windows then it *could* be an ubuntu bug but likely hard ware call lenovo make them fix it! | 23:44 |
| trism | inertial: if you just: apt-get source gcc; you won't get the right package | 23:44 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: 6bg is rather small for the install, but not unbearable, and how much ram do you have? | 23:44 |
| trism | inertial: you will want, for instance: apt-get source gcc-4.6 | 23:45 |
| nevyn | [deXter]: are you on a domain? if not are the shares everybody full control in their sharing controls? | 23:45 |
| kn_ | hi!i have a small problem with ubuntu 9.10, when i want to install chrome, i have something like that: Error: libasound2 (>>1.0.22) | 23:45 |
| yamahaalex37 | wtf!! | 23:45 |
| yamahaalex37 | AN installation step failed, the failing step is: select and isntall software | 23:45 |
| [deXter] | nevyn: Nope I'm not on a domain, this is a home network.. I'm able to browse the shares from windows machines just fine | 23:45 |
| silentnights | MahaVishnu: ok thanks. I will try windows ASAP and see. It's annoying I can't fully use it cause of a heat issue, hope to see you tomorrow to tell u the results, Thanks again :) | 23:45 |
| kashyap1 | Can anyone Help with this problem: what does this mean Makefile:415: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. oe_runmake failed :: linux-libc-headers?? | 23:45 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: also, is it ext or is it ext3/4? | 23:46 |
| silentnights | nite nite Ubuntu :-) | 23:46 |
| yamahaalex37 | 4 i think | 23:46 |
| Ibyss | kn_: sudo apt-get install libasound2 | 23:46 |
| yamahaalex37 | but install failed | 23:46 |
| nevyn | [deXter]: is workgroup set the same in samba as on the windows systems? | 23:46 |
| yamahaalex37 | coudl this have to do with SSD, AHCI mode | 23:46 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: hrm. try redoing it. also, are you trying to dualboot it? or can ubuntu use all the disk space it wantss? | 23:46 |
| [deXter] | nevyn: yes, it's "WORKGROUP".. like is said, smbclient works just fine, it's just Nautilus that's causing the issue.. | 23:46 |
| yamahaalex37 | dual boot | 23:47 |
| yamahaalex37 | coudl this have to do with SSD, AHCI mode | 23:47 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: ok. dual boots arent that hard to install (i have quad boot), but they certainly do make it somewhat more trickey. not hard, just one more complication | 23:47 |
| kashyap1 | what does this mean Makefile:415: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. oe_runmake faiiiiled | 23:48 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: it might. if you have a plain harddrive, i would try than, then if that works, try the SSD | 23:48 |
| yamahaalex37 | fizyplankton, it was ext4, is that correct | 23:48 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: ok good. you had me concerned for a minute | 23:48 |
| kn_ | Ibyss: failed, libasound2 have the newest ver. | 23:48 |
| yamahaalex37 | im trying to resize swap to 2 | 23:49 |
| yamahaalex37 | and ext4 to 10 | 23:49 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: how much ram do you have? | 23:49 |
| yamahaalex37 | 8 | 23:49 |
| yamahaalex37 | 8gb | 23:49 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: then ideally, swap should be 16 gb. how big are your drives? | 23:49 |
| MahaVishnu | I doubt you need 16gb swap though ;-P | 23:50 |
| yamahaalex37 | my ssd is 70 | 23:50 |
| yamahaalex37 | with 14 free for this | 23:50 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: then 10 and 2 should be good. not ideal, but good | 23:50 |
| fizyplankton | MahaVishnu: its reccommended to ahve 2x the ram for swap. although i butchered my install and i have 4 gigs ram, and closer to 22 gigs of swap. dont ask how. i dont like to talk about it | 23:51 |
| kashyap1 | Hello HELP! package linux-libc-headers-2.6.20-r7: task do_configure: failed | 23:51 |
| kn_ | Ibiss are you there? | 23:51 |
| _cb | the partiton that holds most of my data is mounted to /media with a very long name. To rename it, do I just rename the folder in media? | 23:52 |
| yamahaalex37 | i thought i didnt need swap... | 23:52 |
| fizyplankton | _cb: give the partition a label, and ubuntu will use than rather thanthe serial number for the ,mount poiunt | 23:52 |
| apwbdjp | yamahaalex37, It's always safer to have swap, I believe | 23:52 |
| lduros | hello, my laptop won't actually turn off after I do sudo halt or press the shutdown button in the menu. It will start the process to shut down, but after "will now halt" and "[57.577933] System Halted it just never actually turn off. Any idea what might be going on? :-) This requires me to press the power button for 10 seconds every time | 23:52 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: you technically dont, but just like pagefile, its is better to have it than to not | 23:52 |
| Relondo | Hey, everyone. I need some help installing Ubuntu. | 23:53 |
| kn_ | someone? | 23:53 |
| fizyplankton | lduros: use sudo shutdown -p now | 23:53 |
| lduros | fizyplankton: what does that do? | 23:53 |
| fizyplankton | lduros: sorry. "sudo shutdown -P now". it tells it to shutdown after it unloads the kernal | 23:53 |
| apwbdjp | lduros, it tells the system to power off, after halting | 23:53 |
| lduros | fizyplankton: sudo halt doesn't turn off the laptop? | 23:53 |
| kn_ | i have a small problem with ubuntu 9.10, when i want to install chrome, i have something like that: Error: libasound2 (>>1.0.22) | 23:54 |
| fizyplankton | lduros: nope. it does everything EXCEPT pull the plug | 23:54 |
| lduros | fizyplankton: odd, I've been using it all the time, but maybe it was debian | 23:54 |
| lduros | :-) | 23:54 |
| lduros | fizyplankton: ok, good to know | 23:54 |
| lduros | :-) | 23:54 |
| yamahaalex37 | fizyplankton, could fail have been due to lack of internet? | 23:54 |
| murfie | yes | 23:54 |
| kn_ | sudo apt-get install libasound2 failed, libasound2 have the newest ver. | 23:54 |
| yamahaalex37 | shit | 23:54 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: very doubtfull, but maybe | 23:54 |
| _cb | fizyplankton how do I label a partition in Ubuntu 11.10? | 23:55 |
| trism | inertial: ahh, yes seems you need extra steps for the gcc package anyway, see debian/README.source | 23:55 |
| fizyplankton | yamahaalex37: try plugging it into a landline, then install | 23:55 |
| kashyap1 | no one helpful today in room !!! | 23:55 |
| qmanjr5 | How do I add items to the sidebar in Unity? | 23:55 |
| cheshire_fox | ANyone have an idea as to why I would get an 'firmware missing' error after installing the STA driver for my broadcom bm4312 chipset? | 23:55 |
| trism | inertial: in general though, most packages using quilt will have patches automatically applied after apt-get source | 23:55 |
| Relondo | I have tried with Wubi and by booting from a flash drive on 64-Bit, and I've tried booting from a flash drive with 32-Bit. The problem I'm having is that I can boot to Ubuntu, but once I do, there's no video. I have audio, but nothing shows up. I have also tried booting the 32-Bit version from a flash drive on another computer, but that computer doesn't seem able to boot from USB, so I don't know if it's a problem with the iso or with | 23:55 |
| fizyplankton | _cb: look in system>administration>then disk utility | 23:55 |
| kn_ | fizyplalankton maybe you will help me? | 23:56 |
| fizyplankton | kn_: whats up with you? iv only been paying attn to pings | 23:56 |
| apwbdjp | kn_, it tells you libasound2 is at newest version, what makes you think it's not? | 23:57 |
| kn_ | i have a small problem with ubuntu 9.10, when i want to install chrome, i have something like that: Error: libasound2 (>>1.0.22) | 23:57 |
| _cb | fizyplankton thanks. (Will have to figure out how to do it in Unity. Still learning this interface) | 23:57 |
| kn_ | sudo apt-get install libasound2 failed, libasound2 have the newest ver. | 23:57 |
| Relondo | I feel that it's probably something really stupid that I'm overlooking, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I've also tried booting 64-Bit from CD. | 23:57 |
| fizyplankton | kn_: i have no idea | 23:57 |
| kashyap1 | package linux-libc-headers-2.6.20-r7: task do_configure: failed??????????????????????????? | 23:58 |
| kn_ | and i don't find anythin like this on google;/ | 23:58 |
| Relondo | Fizzyplankton, you seem to be the knowledgeable one. Any thoughts? | 23:58 |
| fizyplankton | _cb: look for disk utility. if you cant find that, gparted is a more powerfull but more user hostile alternative. i reccomment disk utility. look for a way to give the selected partition a laben (note than it will have to be unmounted) | 23:58 |
| Ibyss | kn_: From google searching, it suggests your ubuntu is too old. | 23:58 |
| fizyplankton | kn_: Relondo _cb yamahaalex37 and everyone else: its din-din time for me. sorry | 23:59 |
| * fizyplankton nomms his dinner | 23:59 | |
| apwbdjp | fizyplankton, enjoy ^^ | 23:59 |
| _cb | ok the way to find it in Unity one has to click on the icon on the top left and type disk utility. | 23:59 |
