| diverdude | how do i disable touchpad mouse in my laptop - ubuntu 11.10 ? | 00:06 |
| genjix | ubuntu will fail, become a pale shadow of itself today, and then you will look back and wonder why. it's because of this attitude of shutting yourself in and ignoring debate and feedback. everyone has declared their hate of unity, and i was supportive of it for the longest time until the evidence is too strong to ignore. it is a slow, ugly and worthless. these is too much memetic inbreeding and groupthink in among upstream ubuntu develo | 00:06 |

| Proktos | i need a checksum to verify i have burned my cd right against the iso. What is the best to verify it? md5 sha1 sha256 or sha512 or other? | 01:14 |
| L1nuxRules | single user mode it says that in the grub menu | 01:14 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, your not making sense you need to be specific. | 01:14 |
| Relondo | I just want to stick all the Ubuntu files in a single folder, probably named Ubuntu. | 01:14 |
| Relondo | Let me start over. | 01:15 |
| Relondo | I have a flash drive. | 01:15 |
| Relondo | I used Unetbootin to create an InLive USB. | 01:15 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, you would put the ubuntu in a partition and have another for your other stuff. If you want the y=usb read from windows you nweed that file folder as sdaq1 | 01:15 |
| urlin2u | sda1 | 01:15 |
| diverdude | how do i create a group? | 01:16 |
| === _Neytiri_Eywa_ is now known as _Neytiri_ | ||
| Relondo | Ok, thanks. | 01:16 |
| maum_ | L1nuxRules, there is no single user mode in grub | 01:16 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, hope that helps. :D | 01:16 |
| Relondo | I also have a much larger problem: I believe my graphics card is incompatible with Ubuntu. | 01:16 |
| DaZ | what card exactly? | 01:17 |
| L1nuxRules | maum_ sorry recovery mode | 01:17 |
| Relondo | At least, that's what various forums and people here have told me. | 01:17 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, is it a nvidia? | 01:17 |
| Relondo | ATI. I read that they are notorious. | 01:17 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, depends, how is the thumb running? | 01:17 |
| Relondo | I think mine is a Radeon 6520M | 01:17 |
| Relondo | What do you mean, how is the thumb running? | 01:18 |
| maum_ | L1nuxRules, i can see comreset failed errno=-32 | 01:18 |
| ircdearia | If linux mint is now the #1 linux distro (perhaps because of unity controversy?) then how come #mint only has liek 5 users and ##linuxmints only 13? | 01:18 |
| L1nuxRules | maum_ booting recovery mode? | 01:18 |
| somsip | ircdearia: probably a question to ask mint support about. | 01:18 |
| Relondo | I have Ubuntu installed through Wubi on this computer. However, I also want a bootable USB drive. This second question is unrelated to the first. | 01:18 |
| ircdearia | where do I ask? | 01:18 |
| DaZ | ircdearia: probably because they use different network. | 01:18 |
| ircdearia | ah | 01:18 |
| ircdearia | I see | 01:19 |
| ircdearia | thanks | 01:19 |

| Relondo | urlin2u: I can actually get to the Grub in Ubuntu; after that, there is no video whatsoever. I can also hear Ubuntu sounds, so I know it's booting. This, plus forum searching and a long conversation with two other people on here have led me to the conclusion that my card is incompatible. | 01:21 |

| maum_ | L1nuxRules, no i restart now | 01:21 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, may be so with the card I don't know. | 01:22 |
| somsip | kashyap1: you're just posting error messages and not saying what the problem is. | 01:22 |
| Artem_Antonov | Доброго времени суток! | 01:22 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, you could try a nomodeset boot. | 01:22 |
| Relondo | urlin2u: Yeah, I do have a thumb drive. But I'm not trying to boot Ubuntu from it. I have Ubuntu installed through Wubi; I just also want a bootable thumb. | 01:22 |
| bfri | can anyone help with installing virtualbox | 01:22 |
| Relondo | urlin2u: What is that? | 01:22 |
| bfri | i need a walk through something isnt working | 01:22 |
| L1nuxRules | maum_ power off then power up and see if you can select recovery mode | 01:22 |
| urlin2u | !nomodeset | Relondo | 01:22 |
| ubottu | Relondo: 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 | 01:22 |
| somsip | !anyone | bfri | 01:22 |
| ubottu | bfri: 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. | 01:22 |
| maum_ | L1nuxRules, my keyboard is not working | 01:23 |
| Relondo | urlin2u: If you haven't yet figured it out, I know little about Linux. | 01:23 |
| L1nuxRules | maum_ thats why I said to power off then try | 01:23 |
| diverdude | when i do useradd -G webdev bdi it says useradd: user 'bdi' already exists....ofc. bdi exists...thats the user i want to add to the group? why is this program being so stupid? | 01:23 |
| somsip | diverdude: usermod -a -G webdev bdi, possibly? | 01:24 |
| maum_ | L1nuxRules, i did now but its not working | 01:24 |
| Relondo | urlin2u: This page says it applies to 10.10. I have 11.10. | 01:24 |
| somsip | diverdude: useradd tends to add a user. usermod amends an existing one. It's unlikely it's useradd that's being stupid ;) | 01:24 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, you can boot a thumb this way although if loaded with unetbootin you can't get to tye right arae to choose the nomodeset. Don't worry about your knowledge here, I suspect that some open source will run that card probably ubuntu will with the right kicks. Nomodeset is universal. | 01:25 |
| bonez2046 | How would I resolve these? >> http://pastebin.com/dWauQ5fa | 01:25 |
| diverdude | somsip, ok...so will it add webdev to bdi's list of users or will it replace the current? | 01:25 |
| bfri | i cant use my update manager because of this what does it meanE:Type 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/' is not known on line 7 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read. | 01:25 |
| L1nuxRules | your apt sources file has an incorrect entry on line 7 | 01:26 |
| Relondo | urlin2u, what could I load my drive with in order to get to the right menu? I'd use Wubi, but this offers no information on a Wubi boot. | 01:26 |
| somsip | diverdude: I did this a couple of days ago and having previously replaced all groups I made very sure it was correct: usermod -a -G {group} {user}, but do check it out yourself to be sure | 01:26 |
| bfri | Llnuxrules i see that how do i fix it | 01:26 |
| Paul_E | I am using ubuntu to build a kiosk and would like to reset the auto login session after a set amount of inactivity. I need a command that I can run to log out the current gdm user. I thought gdm-restart might work, but it returns "Not supported". Ideas? | 01:26 |
| L1nuxRules | post your source file to pastebin | 01:26 |
| diverdude | somsip, but how do i see which groups bdi is member of? | 01:26 |
| somsip | diverdude: cat /etc/groups |grep bdi, or maybe sudo groups bdi | 01:27 |
| L1nuxRules | Im dont use ubuntu or apt much though | 01:27 |
| bfri | L1nuxrules where do i find my source file | 01:27 |
| bfri | ? | 01:27 |
| L1nuxRules | I* | 01:27 |
| L1nuxRules | /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:28 |
| wallacethegreat | Relondo have you set your computer BIOS to boot from usb? | 01:28 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, I'm not familiar with all of the wubi stuff you might consider the ubuntu forums there are a couple of members there who are quite knowledgeable. Your welcome to try here but not many use wubi here. | 01:28 |
| somsip | diverdude: erm...grep bdi /etc/groups (don't know why I've got into the habit of catting eveything through grep...) | 01:28 |
| Relondo | wallacethegreat, Yeah, I can boot from the USB. I just get no video; this also happens when booting from Wubi. | 01:28 |
| somsip | diverdude: /etc/group (doh) | 01:29 |
| Relondo | urlin2u, I would like to install Ubuntu on its own partition, but I'm waiting to make a complete image of my drive first, in case anything goes horribly wrong. | 01:29 |

| === Guest41654 is now known as Dr_Azil | ||
| L1nuxRules | bfri open a terminal and typr nano +7 /etc/apt/sources.list ( will open it on line 7) | 01:30 |
| L1nuxRules | if you can provide whats on line 7 that would be great | 01:30 |
| urlin2u | everybody/their | 01:30 |
| Relondo | urlin2u, Unfortunately, the software I have boots from a floppy (dinosaur tech, I know). Do you happen to know of a replacement for Norton Ghost? | 01:30 |
| Paul_E | Relondo: clonezilla | 01:31 |
| L1nuxRules | bfri you will probably need to run it as sudo to save any changes | 01:31 |
| somsip | Relondo: clonezilla worth looking at? | 01:31 |
| Relondo | Is clonezilla free? | 01:31 |
| urlin2u | Relondo, clonezilla it is even better you boot a disc and save it the whole thing. clonezilla.org | 01:31 |
| Paul_E | Relondo, yes open source. | 01:31 |
| Dr_Azil | I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm not liking it. Any way I can downgrade back to 10.04? | 01:31 |
| somsip | Relondo: I saw it yesterday when looking at backup options and it specifically mentioned being like Norton Ghost. Worth looking at maybe? | 01:32 |
| === nicholas is now known as Guest38134 | ||
| Relondo | I am looking now. Thanks :) | 01:32 |
| Paul_E | Relondo: You want clonezilla live--just to save you some time figuring out which to download. | 01:32 |
| Relondo | Thanks again | 01:32 |
| L1nuxRules | dr_azil no you will need to do a fresh install | 01:32 |
| Guest38134 | I need to edit a shell script but one I double click on it it only opens in read only mode. How do I edit it ? | 01:32 |
| diverdude | somsip, ok...i added www-data and bdi to group webdev and i did sudo chown -R bdi:webdev cakephp on /var/www/cakephp. So i go to browser and try to do http://localhost/cakephp/ but i get Forbidden (no access to /cakephp/app/webroot/). Why is that happening? | 01:33 |
| bfri | L1nuxrules http://pastebin.com/N08PBbVd | 01:33 |
| Dr_Azil | L1nuxRules, The only thing I'm not liking is the new desktop environment. Is there any way I could change that? | 01:33 |
| bonez2046 | i can't get bitlbee to update. How would I resolve these? >> http://pastebin.com/dWauQ5fa ? this is an apt-get issue | 01:33 |
| Relondo | Wait-Does this program only run on Linux? | 01:33 |
| L1nuxRules | bfri place deb in front of it with a space and try again should work | 01:34 |
| somsip | diverdude: if you usermod, the user needs to logout and log back in for it to tak eeffect. I'd imagine this would require a reboot to kick group membership for www-data, but I'm not sure. | 01:34 |
| Paul_E | Relondo: It runs as a live cd, linux based, but can be used with any OS. | 01:34 |
| diverdude | somsip, ohhh ok..damn...that sux | 01:34 |
| bfri | L1nuxrules what do i do to leave now how do i save | 01:35 |
| somsip | diverdude: personally I mark dirs in www as user:www-data and g+s. Seems to do the trick except for with Wordpress which is annoying | 01:35 |
| Relondo | Paul_E, Good, since my problem is the inability to run Ubuntu. | 01:35 |
| L1nuxRules | dr_azil yes you can install gnome and log out then on login screen you will have the option to select desktop iirc gnome is already installed so you should get the choice on login | 01:35 |
| L1nuxRules | bfri ctrl+x | 01:35 |
| Dr_Azil | Thanks | 01:35 |
| diverdude | somsip, what is user:www-data and g+s ? | 01:35 |
| bfri | L1nuxrules then i hit y and then what? | 01:35 |
| Guest38134 | I need to edit a shell script but one I double click on it it only opens in read only mode. How do I edit it ? | 01:36 |
| Dr_Azil | Be right back then. Thanks L1nuxRules | 01:36 |
| L1nuxRules | dr_azil np | 01:36 |
| L1nuxRules | brfi then it will exit and save then try updating again | 01:36 |
| bfri | L1nuxrules it asks me to write: /etit c/apt/sources. list and then a list of options | 01:37 |
| L1nuxRules | brfi just hit enter | 01:37 |
| Relondo | Alright guys, thanks for all the help. | 01:37 |
| diverdude | somsip,?? | 01:37 |
| bfri | L1nuxrules ok now how do i leave it | 01:38 |
| L1nuxRules | is that a typo /etit c/apt/sources. list? | 01:38 |
| somsip | diverdude: I have src in /usr/local source which is owned by user:developers. On deployment (on every file save in my case) everything gets copied to /var/www owned by user:www-data. Adding chmod g+s to a directory makes sure everything written to it keeps the same group ownershiw (g(roup) + s(sticky)). So in /var/www every dir and subdir remains as user:www-data. This means noone except the owner can mess with /var/www but anyone in developers group can amen | 01:38 |
| somsip | * I have source in /usr/local/src... | 01:38 |
| diverdude | somsip, aha interesting | 01:39 |
| diverdude | somsip, what is that ame? | 01:39 |
| bfri | L1nuxrules it doesn't save | 01:39 |
| hejar | hi | 01:39 |
| somsip | diverdude: not ideal for everyone, but it's my final (currently, it's final but who knows) approach | 01:39 |
| L1nuxRules | bfri it needs to be opened using sudo then | 01:39 |
| somsip | diverdude: ame? | 01:39 |
| diverdude | somsip, you write in the end ....but anyone in developers group can ame | 01:40 |
| L1nuxRules | bfri say no to save then sudo nano +7 /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:40 |
| Guest38134 | I need to edit a shell script but one I double click on it it only opens in read only mode. How do I edit it ? | 01:40 |

| ViperVenom | Hello, I am trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. I tried the Wubi Windows Installer and that would not boot when I selected it from the boot menu. So, I tried downloading the iso file and burning it to a DVD. When I restarted my computer to try and install it no boot menu came up; it just went straight to Windows 7. So I restarted again and pressed F12, chose "boot from disc" option, | 01:43 |

| Crash_O-D | virtualbox Windows xp and access to ubuntu drive, how would i do that? | 02:03 |
| Dr_Azil | tp43, going into the output tab I see Internal Audio Analog Stereo. It won't let me do anything with it | 02:05 |
| edbian | Crash_O-D: There is some GUI thing built into virtualbox for that | 02:05 |
| tp43 | My computer is ten times louder now that I upgraded to 11 from lucid, and even the fans do seem to rattle anymore like they used to | 02:06 |

| somsip | cpgo: This might help but you'll need to check it applies for your version of ubuntu http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/install-plymouth-manager-and-change.html | 02:06 |
| Dr_Azil | I've fiddled as much as possible in there before I came here for help, tp43 | 02:06 |
| tp43 | Dr_Azil, hmm, maybe there is a more expert than me here who can help you, cause I can't think of anything else, actually, try alsamixer on the command line | 02:07 |
| lsv | crassus: does it have a man page? Maybe the man page has some info? | 02:07 |
| crassus_ | hmm, to uninstall it's saying just do an rm -rf of the tex directory | 02:08 |
| tp43 | crassus, I never install except through sources | 02:08 |
| crassus_ | tp43: I'm comfortable doing source installs as well, but this one with texlive2011 is really badly done | 02:09 |
| crassus_ | other tex programs can't find it, etc | 02:09 |
| tp43 | crassus, otherwise you have to manually find all the files and delete them, but many programs have an uninstall script, usually the ones with sh scripts for install/uninstall | 02:09 |
| crassus_ | so I'm going to switch back to the packaged one which is older :( | 02:09 |
| crassus_ | 2009 vs 2011 | 02:09 |
| crassus_ | but it works, so who cares | 02:09 |

| linoge | Hi, i have a problem, of the most interesting nature, with my laptop. Yesterday it worked perfect. I turned it off and then, when i came back to home, turned it on. There's light in some buttons, but, there's nothing more. No HP first screen (as it always did). So, i thought it was dead. | 02:13 |
| tp43 | crassus, dude, 3.0 kernel | 02:13 |
| crassus | "flashy colors" :p | 02:13 |
| crassus | but yeah, I'll get there, probably not on ubuntu though :/ | 02:14 |
| tp43 | crassus, my system used to rattle, i haven't heard it rattle yet, but its only been a couple hours, also, my sound is ten times louder | 02:14 |
| linoge | So, i waited in long hours of agony till i tried again. Gave a hug to my laptop and it suddenly worked. | 02:14 |
| crassus | I'm thinking of switching to arch linux | 02:14 |
| Paul_E | linoge: something loose inside? Hug snapped it back into place? | 02:14 |
| crassus | no problems ever with hardware on 10.04 and my computer tp43 | 02:14 |
| linoge | As of today, it didn't work. | 02:14 |
| cpgo | samsul, my monitors native res is 1920x1080. The closest one in the list was 1920x1200. I put that and it made it worse. So 1920x1080 is impossible? | 02:14 |
| tp43 | crassus, Arch is using gnome 3.0, I am thinking of upgrading | 02:15 |
| linoge | And then, a few minutes ago, i just turned it on. This time no hugs where involved. | 02:15 |
| linoge | Paul_E: I'm not aware of something loose, it's inside the possibilities, and i'll check it tomorrow, with calm. I just felt like asking first what can be causing this extremely weird behaviour. | 02:16 |

| MahaVishnu | Supertonyman, they claim 2x ram but you don't need a 16gb partition | 02:30 |
| MahaVishnu | cpgo, yes. you might need to prefix it with sudo but maybe not | 02:30 |
| linoge | d1g1ta1: you can also try unetbootin and install it through usb | 02:30 |

| Supertonyman | i have a huge amount of space | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | theres somt tricks to boot things like that from usb d1g1ta1 - some sort of chain loader on the floppy. but i havent used that in ages. | 02:31 |
| d1g1ta1 | linoge: WIndows 98 | 02:31 |

| dr_willis | d1g1ta1: yes. i saw some guide on doing it the other day. but cant recal where i saw it at. webupd8, or pendrivelinux, or lifehacker. | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | Supertonyman: grub. :) yes. | 02:33 |

| Supertonyman | there is a visual version of gurb right? grub? | 02:34 |
| linoge | atlanyu: Yes, i'm very sure it can, as improbable as it seems. Even between partitions there are fights. When i boot in arch, ubuntu doesn't get sound like a week, and when i boot ubuntu, arch doesn't get sound, leaving me completely without sound many times. | 02:34 |
| Mgamerz | What is the best way to install ubuntu to a 100GB partition on my external usb drive? I just did it with jaunty (had to have old support... but i guess now i don't it seems) - it installed grub, which i 100000% hate, and it torched my windows | 02:35 |
| bonhoffer | i have a bunch of cron jobs that i want to kill -- how do i find them | 02:35 |
| Mgamerz | so i restored windows, but how can i get it to use all 100GB's? I am going to use it for a kernel building enviornment | 02:35 |
| * Mgamerz is also new to kernel stuff | 02:35 | |
| atlanyu | linoge: :-) :-) :-) ... that "sound problems" seem familiar to me ... | 02:35 |
| d1g1ta1 | so, is it possible to move an Ubuntu drive to completely different hardware and bring it up? | 02:36 |
| Mgamerz | yes | 02:36 |
| bonhoffer | crontab seems to run /etc/cron.daily, weekly, monthly, etc | 02:36 |

| mattheas | if you don't understand iptables get webmin. that'll dumb it down for you. | 02:58 |
| ntr0py | anyone has x11vnc working with xinetd? | 02:58 |
| RokcStar | a lot of people on this channel say webmin is insecure | 02:58 |
| zaltekk | and unsupported | 02:58 |
| RokcStar | so why do people still use it? | 02:58 |
| mattheas | RokcStar: depends whether you spend time configuring it. I've never had a problem with it. | 02:58 |
| zaltekk | look at UFW if you want something easier than using iptables directly | 02:58 |
| L1nuxRules | never used webmin but surely its just a frontend for Iptaables? | 02:59 |
| itaylor57 | !webmin | 02:59 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 02:59 |
| mattheas | RokcStar: Keep in mind, someone will always have commentary on your software/hardware regardless of what you're using. | 02:59 |
| MahaVishnu | there are local GUI apps to configure iptables also. just look around. | 02:59 |
| MahaVishnu | firestarter or something was one idk if its still around. | 02:59 |
| Tech-1 | it is | 03:00 |
| MahaVishnu | !firestarter | 03:00 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 03:00 |
| RokcStar | nice ubottu | 03:00 |
| RokcStar | thanks | 03:00 |
| mattheas | RokcStar: if you know what you're doing, that's probably a better idea | 03:00 |
| MahaVishnu | ubottu is a robot RokcStar ;-) | 03:00 |
| ubottu | MahaVishnu: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:00 |
| L1nuxRules | why debian cant use the Red Hat way though... | 03:00 |

| ntr0py | when trying to run x11vnc via xinetd i ALWAYS get "rfbNewClient: write: Broken pipe" error message? What am i doing wrong i dont get it | 03:05 |
| L1nuxRules | paul_e add quiet to your boot entry | 03:06 |
| Paul_E | L1nuxRules: boot entry? Where's that? | 03:06 |
| L1nuxRules | press e to edit the grub entry your booting from and where you see splash put quiet before it | 03:07 |
| Paul_E | I never see grub. | 03:08 |
| _cb | In Ubuntu 9 the time applet could be configured to display weather info. Not so in 11, how does one get that applet in 11? | 03:08 |
| boldfilter1 | Hey, you guys know how a vacuum works? unity sucks | 03:09 |
| Paul_E | L1nuxRules: In /etc/default/grub, I see GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 03:09 |
| L1nuxRules | you will need to edit it in /boot/grub/grub.conf then | 03:09 |
| travisHAZE | boldfilter, unity is vomit | 03:09 |
| Paul_E | and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" splash quiet" | 03:10 |
| boldfilter1 | vomit and poop | 03:10 |
| Paul_E | does the order matter? should it be quiet splash? | 03:10 |
| L1nuxRules | thats the least verbose boot I know so not sure you can disable anything else | 03:10 |
| L1nuxRules | order doesent matter | 03:11 |
| Paul_E | L1nuxRules: I still get output from somewhere that you can see right before Plymouth kicks in. Just for a split screen. | 03:11 |
| Paul_E | er.. split second :) | 03:11 |
| L1nuxRules | Im slackware/centos Im not that familiar with ubuntu or plymouth | 03:12 |
| genoobie | okay | 03:12 |
| cpgo | MahaVishnu, nope | 03:12 |
| genoobie | I am desperate here | 03:12 |
| genoobie | I boot up my windows partition and the wireless works | 03:12 |
| MahaVishnu | cpgo, idk then :F | 03:12 |
| genoobie | the wireless worked in my linux partition until this monring then, bork | 03:13 |
| genoobie | nothing | 03:13 |
| genoobie | I boot up a live linux CD and the wireless still doesn't work | 03:13 |
| genoobie | I go to a store and try a few mini-pci cards and the wireless is still out | 03:13 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie, disabled in bios some how? does it have a hardware switch | 03:13 |
| genoobie | not that I am aware of, but that would not explain how it works in windows | 03:13 |
| genoobie | I will double check though | 03:13 |

| Guest40168 | hello i gota problem i did install slim to use instead of gdm, all fine but aparently an loading animation of ubuntu pre loaded after gdm start it dont die and i see the colors incorrects | 03:15 |
| flippityflip | Flash *does* work in Chrome, but I think that's cause Chrome has a built-in flash player.... would that affect the normal/standalone player? | 03:15 |
| boldfilter1 | Dear ubuntu, my desktop pc is not a smartphone, give me a decent interface, thank you | 03:15 |
| L1nuxRules | lol | 03:16 |
| MahaVishnu | boldfilter, try xfce or fluxbox | 03:16 |
| L1nuxRules | boldfilter1 your a Linux user please learn that your in control not the provider | 03:16 |
| MahaVishnu | boldfilter, or go back gnome | 03:16 |
| boldfilter1 | new gnome sucks too | 03:17 |
| L1nuxRules | ctrl+alt+f1 :) | 03:17 |
| cpgo | MahaVishnu, k, thanks | 03:17 |
| totesmuhgoats | boldfilter1: there is a site that lists all the unity packages in ubuntu so you can apt-get remove it and then switch desktops | 03:18 |
| totesmuhgoats | i installed xfce through the xubuntu-desktop package | 03:18 |
| totesmuhgoats | its not bad | 03:18 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, no switch in BIOS | 03:19 |
| lduros | I like unity better than gnome 3, at least in 11.10 | 03:19 |
| flippityflip | lduros: agreed. | 03:19 |
| lduros | only issue is taht ubuntu isn't fully free :-( I wish it were :-P | 03:20 |
| GrimsCompany | Hi I burned the iso to a CD and when it boots a purple screen comes up with a picture of a keyboard, an equal sign, and a stick figure. After awhile, my screen starts flashing red/green/blue/white and the CD drive is going crazy scanning really fast. Is this normal, because after a minute of this going on I decided to force shutdown. | 03:20 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, desperate here... | 03:20 |
| flippityflip | My flash isn't working. I've installed, reinstalled, uninstalled, and installed. Used the software center and also the terminal to install/uninstall. Any suggestions? Do you need more info to help? | 03:20 |
| boldfilter1 | that dashboard launcher has to go | 03:21 |
| genoobie | wireless worked, now it doesn't, linux is like that... | 03:22 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie, and what did you do between it working and not working ? | 03:22 |
| L1nuxRules | users re like that | 03:22 |
| ntr0py | Damnit why oh why is linux just such a nightmare, everyone solves the same problems wasting a lot of time | 03:22 |
| aeon-ltd | ntr0py: is windows not the same? | 03:22 |
| genoobie | apparently nothing | 03:22 |
| aeon-ltd | everyone got problems | 03:22 |
| genoobie | not sure if updates were done in the background... | 03:22 |
| genoobie | can i roll back updates? | 03:23 |
| MahaVishnu | ntr0py, because until you learn to figure out how to solve problems on linux it is a nightmare. but it is very easy to solve most problems cause alot are the same ones heh! | 03:23 |
| flippityflip | aeon-ltd: no, windows is not the same. there is less of a hassle. and for the hassles there are, there is more support than a few websites and channels. | 03:23 |
| L1nuxRules | windows is worse at least you can dig under the hood and fix your self In Linux | 03:23 |
| flippityflip | you can dig under the hood and fix in windows as well. | 03:23 |
| genoobie | yeah, my wireless works in windows, it stopped working in linux | 03:23 |
| L1nuxRules | how editing the registry lmao | 03:23 |
| MahaVishnu | actually you have to pay for windows support usually. but I think there is a channel on here. | 03:24 |
| flippityflip | i love linux and ubuntu is my favorite distro, but it would be wrong to say that linux has less or the same amount of hassle as windows | 03:24 |
| GrimsCompany | Hi I burned the iso to a CD and when it boots a purple screen comes up with a picture of a keyboard, an equal sign, and a stick figure.

| genoobie | MahaVishnu, in all seriousness, as far as I know, nothing changed. | 03:24 |
| MahaVishnu | flippityflip, but its offtopic | 03:24 |
| grumpywolfe | I was doing a system update and got a buch of messages and now gnome-key is not working | 03:24 |
| L1nuxRules | no Linux has nowhere near the issues that windows does | 03:24 |
| aeon-ltd | But the extra support and fewer hassles are because of paid software and hardware, linux is free be grateful and perservere :) | 03:24 |
| L1nuxRules | Ive used it for years the main breakage is the user | 03:25 |
| aeon-ltd | woah sorry to derail the chan guys. | 03:25 |
| flippityflip | MahaVishnu: understood, but be aware that I didn't bring it up, just continuing a conversation | 03:25 |
| ntr0py | MahaVishnu: yes but some are not and and those really feel like a biggest waste of time, always trying to get things working that *should* work out of the box | 03:25 |
| grumpywolfe | how to change gnome-key | 03:25 |
| === aarcane__ is now known as aarcane | ||
| MahaVishnu | last thing i'll say. half the reason things don't work out of the box is the manufacturer of the item. | 03:25 |
| MahaVishnu | not linux. | 03:26 |
| NDPMacBookPro | That's a cop out | 03:26 |
| NDPMacBookPro | End user doesn't care who's fault it is | 03:26 |
| flippityflip | Agreed, it *is* a cop out. | 03:26 |
| MahaVishnu | and I dont care what the end user wants. cause my stuff didn't all work out of the box. but I made it work. | 03:26 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, any suggestions outside of switch in bios? | 03:27 |
| flippityflip | again, I love Linux and Ubuntu. But I definitely cannot recommend it to the everyday consumer because of the lack of compatibility, OR the steps you would need to take in order to ensure compatibility. | 03:27 |
| ntr0py | MahaVishnu: yes i never found a better os than linux, but sometimes it gets really frustrating... | 03:27 |
| flippityflip | genoobie- do you know what wireless card you have? | 03:27 |
| MahaVishnu | grr my internet sucks lately | 03:27 |
| genoobie | flippityflip, atheros | 03:27 |
| genoobie | 5007 I think | 03:28 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie, pastebin sudo lshw -C network | 03:28 |
| MahaVishnu | ntr0py, agreed I couldn't make my intel integrated chip and my nvidia card work together until yesterday. but like I heard someone say in here linux is for people who like to take stuff apart and put it back together, and obviously it's free. | 03:29 |
| boldfilter1 | I like the fact that in linux you may have to build or make something to make something work | 03:29 |
| genoobie | I am trying to output that to a file | 03:29 |
| genoobie | hold a sec | 03:29 |
| flippityflip | brb | 03:29 |
| boldfilter1 | And in linux before unity, I liked the customization freedom | 03:29 |
| === GrimsCompany is now known as ViperVenom | ||
| MahaVishnu | genoobie, you can install pastebinit and do like sudo pastebinit command to auto paste it doesn't work for everything though | 03:30 |
| MahaVishnu | lets not start a unity discussion ;\ | 03:30 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, I don't have connectivity on the linux box | 03:30 |
| MahaVishnu | no wire? | 03:30 |
| L1nuxRules | whats with Linux before unity though ? | 03:30 |

| Detergentizer | !nounity | 03:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 03:31 |

| boldfilter1 | just two shitty interfaces | 03:32 |
| L1nuxRules | genoobie you want to redirect the output of thew command to a file? | 03:32 |
| Mgamerz-Ubu | Is there anyway to NOT install grub while installing ubuntu? It'd save me a big headache | 03:32 |
| Detergentizer | boldfilter: huh? | 03:32 |
| L1nuxRules | if so command > 2&>1 output | 03:33 |

| Mgamerz-Ubu | ^ | 03:38 |
| L1nuxRules | grub on mbr is fine | 03:38 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, not really sure, just through the network connections manager in lubuntu | 03:38 |
| Mgamerz-Ubu | i never find it is | 03:38 |
| shovell | hey guys got a question how can i connect to another computer over the internet i.e. remote desktop | 03:38 |
| Mgamerz-Ubu | grub is horrendous, it's broken my system like 3 times (after distro upgrade). I'm never going to trust it so i'll just do super grub disk. it's reliable | 03:38 |
| L1nuxRules | vnc or ssh | 03:39 |
| edbian | shovell: by using ssh | 03:39 |
| edbian | shovell: Have you ever done this before? | 03:39 |
| urlin2u | Mgamerz-Ubu, easy to put what you want in the mbr so this may be yourvweak link. | 03:39 |

| shovell | edbian, not really | 03:39 |
| Mgamerz-Ubu | i'll keep the windows bootloader in mbr | 03:39 |
| Mgamerz-Ubu | and just boot from floppy | 03:39 |

| MahaVishnu | genoobie$ If you can plug a wire in to that machine. try to install "wicd" it is a really good wireless manager I have had much better luck with it than network-manager | 03:43 |
| Dream | A dream huh | 03:43 |
| genoobie | I don't like that modprobe.d output | 03:43 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie$ its fine actually | 03:44 |
| edbian | shovell: both of you install teamviewer and you can log in remotely. (that's probably the easiest way) | 03:44 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, oh okay | 03:44 |
| Dream | I have a dream, a dream where I will never have the nick "Dream" in any IRC network. | 03:44 |
| shovell | edbian open source? | 03:44 |
| genoobie | so I can find wicd in the synaptic? | 03:44 |
| edbian | shovell: Umm, I don't think it's open source but it is free | 03:44 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie$ it looks like the device is loaded. but the interface eth0 has no IP so network-manager is not connecting? | 03:44 |
| edbian | shovell: There are open source ways of doing it. It's not as easy though. Not worth it for one time | 03:44 |
| urlin2u | lduros, you familiar with conky, take a look on the for what it looks like it is in the repos. | 03:44 |
| genoobie | okay there it is I'll brb | 03:45 |
| urlin2u | web* | 03:45 |
| lduros | urlin2u: no i'm not, will look it up, thanks | 03:45 |
| genoobie | correct | 03:45 |
| shovell | edbian, aah nice , i am kinda looking for the option to do that from time to time | 03:45 |
| urlin2u | lduros, it can be made to look cool and uses low resources. | 03:45 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, although if I stick a wire in it, it will connect | 03:45 |
| genoobie | but I will try the first wicd link in synaptic | 03:45 |
| genoobie | brb | 03:45 |
| lduros | urlin2u: yeh looks fine to me :-) | 03:46 |
| edbian | shovell: Well than you should look into: http://gerardmcgarry.com/blog/how-remotely-connect-ubuntu-a-windows-machine | 03:46 |
| edbian | shovell: I didn't really look very closely at that. I googled and linked the first one that was right. | 03:46 |
| JZApples | Why does the Update Manager keep trying to download Ubuntu One updates even though I uninstalled it and don't want to use it? | 03:46 |

| MahaVishnu | genoobie$ sudo rmmod ath5k && sudo modprobe ath5k | 03:47 |
| edbian | mattheas: NIC ports are the physical ethernet / network ports on a network interface card (NIC). Ubuntu does not make them, so your question does not make sense | 03:47 |
| Mgamerz-Ubu | has Has anyone used rdesktop and got the 'keymap not found: en-us' error? (1.6 or 1.7 / ubuntu jaunty?) | 03:48 |
| L1nuxRules | Ive only ever seen that error on getting disconnected | 03:48 |
| Mgamerz-Ubu | i'm using webtop for my atrix phone (based on jaunty) and it always says that, and nobody seems to know... or carfe why | 03:48 |
| mattheas | edbian: thanks for the rhetoric check. I applied drivers to my NIC, and now it's created all the way up to eth10 on my 70-persistent-net.rules and created one eth_rename | 03:49 |
| mattheas | edbian: I have a multiport NIC card | 03:49 |

| genoobie | we'll see if it works | 03:50 |
| edbian | trackerx90: yes, it's called a network bridge | 03:50 |
| shovell | edbian, well that is not looking like it would suit my needs | 03:50 |
| edbian | trackerx90: Or, ip_forwarding if you're working low level | 03:50 |
| shovell | edbian, but thank you for the help | 03:51 |
| edbian | shovell: remote login ? Is that not exactly what you want? | 03:51 |
| edbian | shovell: sure | 03:51 |
| trackerx90 | <edbian> thanks | 03:51 |
| edbian | sure | 03:51 |
| L1nuxRules | your nics arent used as a router as such as they are just the hardware network connection but you can set a router up using Iptables | 03:51 |
| shovell | sorta have you used the remote desktop util in windows? | 03:51 |
| shovell | edbian sorta have you used the remote desktop util in windows? | 03:51 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, doesn't seem to ahve fixed the issue | 03:51 |
| edbian | shovell: no, what's your point? | 03:52 |
| shovell | edbian that is the type of situation i am looking foe | 03:52 |
| edbian | shovell: What does windows remote desktop do that other remote desktop apps cannot do (I'm willing to bet nothing) | 03:53 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, when I typed in sudo rmmod ath5k && sudo modprobe ath5k it said "You are now offline" | 03:53 |
| genoobie | so now what? | 03:53 |
| L1nuxRules | edbian it gets hacked into :) | 03:53 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie$ I think thats a good sign? | 03:53 |
| shovell | edbian you are probablly correct | 03:53 |
| genoobie | heh | 03:53 |
| shovell | ill let y9ou know how it goes if you want | 03:53 |
| genoobie | well at this point am I fooling aroud with wicd? | 03:53 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie$ yea man it sounds like you should be able to get it working with wicd? lsmod | grep ath5k make sure its loaded. | 03:54 |
| edbian | L1nuxRules: ha | 03:54 |
| edbian | shovell: :) | 03:54 |
| genoobie | yeahm it's loaded alright...but it isn't working | 03:54 |
| genoobie | this is *really* frustrating | 03:55 |
| edbian | genoobie: look at the very end of the output of dmesg | 03:56 |
| edbian | usually there are clues there | 03:56 |
| MahaVishnu | whats it say | 03:56 |
| edbian | genoobie: also, sudo iwlist scan (will scan for wifi networks) | 03:56 |
| edbian | genoobie: iwlist scan is a good way to see low-level if the drive is working | 03:56 |
| craigbass1976 | Is there an ubuntu version of joinme and gotomeeting? | 03:58 |

| edbian | genoobie: really.... | 04:04 |
| genoobie | yep | 04:04 |

| genoobie | it can be if I need to | 04:04 |
| edbian | genoobie: do you have a wifi kill switch on this machine? (cause I think it's on) | 04:05 |
| genoobie | well there is a wifi kill switch | 04:05 |
| genoobie | but it is "blue" | 04:05 |
| edbian | genoobie: I could tell if we had rfkill installed but we don't apparently. | 04:05 |
| edbian | genoobie: flip it, then run sudo iwlist scan again | 04:05 |
| genoobie | I can get rfkill | 04:05 |
| r3za | hi guys , i want to know how can i connect to my socks 5 tunnelling in ubuntu 11.10 ? do u have any program or command suggestion please ... ! | 04:05 |
| edbian | genoobie: what do you mean you can get rfkill ? | 04:05 |
| genoobie | same output, network is down | 04:06 |
| genoobie | is it possible that the switch is borked | 04:06 |
| edbian | genoobie: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 04:06 |
| edbian | genoobie: (you have flipped the switch right? | 04:06 |
| genoobie | is there some way to bypass this so the switch has no effect | 04:06 |
| MahaVishnu | edbian$ can he try sudo ifup wlan0 also ? | 04:06 |
| genoobie | well ordinarily the switch would go from blue to orange (orange being off) | 04:06 |
| genoobie | but when I touch the switch there is no change | 04:06 |
| edbian | MahaVishnu: I'm not sure, I think there is a subtle difference between the two | 04:07 |
| MahaVishnu | edbian$ me too but ifup works better for me. always has | 04:07 |
| edbian | genoobie: yeah yeah, what about sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 04:07 |
| edbian | MahaVishnu: but ifconfig is what told us it was blocked due to rfkill | 04:07 |
| genoobie | operation not possible due to RF-kill | 04:07 |
| edbian | so I want to use that to check | 04:07 |
| MahaVishnu | edbian$ ah point taken sir. | 04:07 |
| edbian | genoobie: get online, run this: sudo apt-get install rfkill | 04:07 |
| edbian | genoobie: Then once it's installed, run sudo rfkill list | 04:07 |
| genoobie | anything else I should install? | 04:07 |
| edbian | genoobie: no, just that | 04:08 |
| genoobie | okay bbias | 04:08 |
| edbian | genoobie: are you sure rfkill isn't installed already? | 04:08 |
| r3za | hi guys , i want to know how can i connect to my socks 5 tunnelling in ubuntu 11.10 ? do u have any program or command suggestion please ... ! | 04:08 |

| Milossh | can anyone help me find gkrellm-i8k plugin for gkrellm please? | 04:08 |
| edbian | r3za: run 'gnome-network-properties' in the terminal without quotes | 04:08 |
| Milossh | my cpu is constantly at ~92C | 04:09 |
| edbian | Milossh: that's hot | 04:09 |
| L1nuxRules | clean your fans :) | 04:09 |
| edbian | indeed | 04:09 |
| A|i3N | ok.. easy question.. easy question.. here it comes .... wait for iiiiitt................. Best software for doing a screencast video? If firefox has one that'll work too as it's a demo of a website. :) | 04:09 |
| Milossh | I bought it a few months ago, and it's used only on a wooden desk | 04:09 |
| edbian | !best | 04:09 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 04:09 |
| r3za | edbian: but i use unity ! | 04:09 |
| Milossh | it's not that | 04:09 |
| edbian | r3za: just try the command (unity is built on gnome) | 04:10 |
| genoobie | okay edbian 0:phy0 wireless lan | 04:10 |
| genoobie | soft blocked yes hard blocked no | 04:10 |
| Milossh | also, is there anyone who can help me find this plugin for gkrellm? | 04:10 |
| genoobie | 1:hp-wifi wireless LAN | 04:10 |
| genoobie | soft and hard blocked yes | 04:10 |
| A|i3N | ok I'll rephrase that for edbian: simplest without screwing with the command line. :P | 04:10 |
| A|i3N | lol | 04:10 |
| r3za | edbian: im sorry can u send me command i use it but terminal said that : gnome-network-properties: command not found | 04:10 |
| edbian | genoobie: sudo rfkill unblock 0 | 04:10 |
| genoobie | ok | 04:11 |
| edbian | r3za: ahh, nevermind then. I'm not sure what they use now :( | 04:11 |
| genoobie | now? | 04:11 |
| skumara | I need help to play this dvd. The subtitles appear outside the movie and I can read it. anyone know how to repair this problem? http://tinypic.com/r/3305hs8/5 | 04:11 |
| genoobie | 1 as well? | 04:11 |
| edbian | genoobie: if 1 is blocked, but try 0 first, and look at sudo rfkill list to make sure it changed | 04:11 |
| r3za | edbian: ok buddy , thanks anyway ! | 04:11 |
| L1nuxRules | edbian what about restarting the network service? | 04:11 |
| edbian | r3za: sure | 04:11 |
| MahaVishnu | ed1703$ what is rfkill ? | 04:11 |
| edbian | L1nuxRules: we can't do that anymore right? (also I'm quite sure unblocking will fix things) | 04:11 |
| genoobie | argh! | 04:11 |
| genoobie | okay | 04:11 |
| edbian | argh? | 04:11 |
| MahaVishnu | edbian ^ | 04:11 |
| genoobie | I can ifconfig wlan0 up | 04:12 |
| edbian | MahaVishnu: It's the software interface for the physical kill switch | 04:12 |
| MahaVishnu | thx | 04:12 |
| genoobie | but iwlist scan = network is down | 04:12 |
| edbian | genoobie: Is everything unblocked now? | 04:12 |
| genoobie | no, I will unblock | 04:12 |
| edbian | genoobie: what did ifconfig wlan0 up say? | 04:12 |
| edbian | genoobie: what are you daft? unblock everything, then try to bring it up, then try to scan | 04:12 |
| genoobie | 0 is now switched so that hard-blocked is 0 | 04:12 |
| genoobie | urhg okay sudo rfkill list = | 04:12 |
| edbian | genoobie: you have to flip the physical switch to change the hard-block | 04:12 |
| edbian | sudo rfkill unblock <number> | 04:13 |
| edbian | A|i3N: gimmie a second while I google | 04:13 |
| genoobie | okay, at this point | 04:13 |
| edbian | genoobie: ... | 04:13 |
| edbian | A|i3N: look what google found me: http://www.linuxhaxor.net/5-ways-to-screencast-your-linux-desktop/ | 04:14 |
| genoobie | hold a sec... | 04:14 |
| A|i3N | Thank you edbian :) I like the bonus too, the truth about six pack abs ;) | 04:14 |
| genoobie | I'm almost there | 04:14 |
| edbian | genoobie: haha | 04:15 |
| edbian | sure | 04:15 |
| genoobie | flipping the switch only seems to affect hp-wifi (1) | 04:15 |
| edbian | genoobie: that's fine | 04:15 |
| genoobie | but (0) phy0 is unaffected by hard switch | 04:15 |
| edbian | genoobie: Do everything you can to maximize unblocking | 04:15 |
| edbian | genoobie: you can pastebin it for me to see that would be great: paste.ubuntu.com | 04:15 |
| genoobie | okay | 04:15 |
| edbian | the output of sudo rfkill list that is | 04:16 |
| genoobie | okay, I rebooted the machine | 04:16 |
| edbian | genoobie: umm, ok? | 04:16 |

| edbian | genoobie: so it's solved then? | 04:17 |
| genoobie | oaky, the light is intermittently flashing | 04:17 |

| truefx | how can i install deb.tar file in ubuntu ? | 04:17 |
| genoobie | rfkill list has everything unblocked | 04:17 |
| edbian | genoobie: good | 04:17 |
| edbian | genoobie: and you're online on wifi? | 04:17 |
| truefx | there are about 30 deb files in it | 04:18 |
| genoobie | edbian, yes abso*friggin*lutely and thank you very much | 04:18 |
| edbian | sure :) | 04:18 |
| genoobie | how can I prevent this in the future... | 04:18 |
| edbian | truefx: unpack the tar and install all the debs? | 04:18 |
| genoobie | wtf happened (because it only went down today) | 04:18 |
| milamber | truefx: why so many packages? did you try the apt-get route? | 04:18 |
| genoobie | so I can dump wicd | 04:19 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie$ glad you got it sorted out. | 04:19 |
| truefx | milamber, yep i did | 04:19 |
| genoobie | MahaVishnu, thank you as well! | 04:19 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie$ yea if you want its still better than network-manager imho. | 04:19 |
| edbian | genoobie: It should stay up from now on. I don't know what happened. I'm guessing somebody hit the kill switch. Here's the thing, the kill switch needs to be off (that is the card is on) when the machine boots. That's probably what we did. | 04:19 |
| truefx | milamber, i try to install lazarus but i cant do it usin apt | 04:19 |
| edbian | genoobie: Now you can use rfkill to look at the block on the card and make sure everything is unblocked, then reboot and that should always fix it | 04:19 |
| Guest88724 | can someone help me fix the waiting for network configuration on boot? | 04:19 |
| milamber | truefx: ok, then did you extract the files? .rar is a compression format | 04:19 |
| truefx | milamber, The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 04:20 |
| truefx | lazarus: Depends: lazarus-ide (>= 0.9.28.2-8ubuntu1) | 04:20 |

| genoobie | edbian, yes, that will have to be stored in "my" memory banks somewhere.. | 04:20 |
| MahaVishnu | genoobie$ tape your switch maybe too if its one of those sliders. | 04:20 |
| truefx | milamber, .tar not rar | 04:20 |
| edbian | genoobie: sure, write it all down in a text file on your desktop | 04:20 |
| edbian | I don't care | 04:20 |
| rkhshm | I have auto complete enabled on libreoffice but what is the hotkey to actually complete the suggested word? | 04:20 |
| milamber | truefx: .tar is also a compression format that requires the files to be extracted | 04:20 |

| genoobie | I *have* to get back to work | 04:22 |
| genoobie | nite | 04:22 |
| L1nuxRules | truefx your using deb packages? | 04:22 |
| truefx | L1nuxRules, Package fpc-abi-2.4.0 is a virtual package provided by: | 04:22 |
| truefx | You should explicitly select one to install. | 04:22 |
| truefx | E: Package fpc-abi-2.4.0 has no installation candidate | 04:22 |
| truefx | nope i tried apt-get | 04:23 |
| L1nuxRules | extract them to a directory and try dpkg -i * | 04:23 |
| truefx | but since i have above errors i try .deb.tar file | 04:23 |
| milamber | truefx: have you tried installing anything else? | 04:23 |
| truefx | milamber, like what ? | 04:23 |
| milamber | truefx: broken packages worries me | 04:23 |
| L1nuxRules | or try aptitude install lazarus its better at handling deps | 04:24 |
| truefx | milamber, i got fpc 2.4.2 in my system only compiler not lazarus ide | 04:24 |
| truefx | milamber, but probably new lazarus ide depends on fpc 2.4.4 so i trd to install it from deb.tar file | 04:25 |
| truefx | milamber, it is not available in repos | 04:25 |
| L1nuxRules | truefx it needs a newer version >= ( gretaer than or equal) | 04:25 |
| milamber | truefx: ok. you need to use: dpkg -i <debname>.deb to install each of the debs | 04:26 |
| truefx | L1nuxRules, what am i supposed to do install lazarus in ubuntu 10.04 | 04:26 |
| milamber | truefx: but for the sake of my sanity can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get check | 04:26 |
| L1nuxRules | truefx you should be able to use apt , no joy any errors? | 04:26 |
| truefx | milamber, sure | 04:27 |
| L1nuxRules | I have 0.9.28 lazarus installed from base repos | 04:27 |

| DaZ | share: do you really need that two seconds quicker boot? :x | 04:58 |
| milamber | share: tweaking boot sequence is usually for power users that don't mind breaking their own boxes | 04:58 |
| RokcStar | maybe its disabled by default incase you setup ubuntu on cpu's that could cause issues | 04:58 |
| share | I don't think it will boost only 2 seconds | 04:58 |
| DaZ | i do. | 04:58 |
| share | you are trying to guess | 04:58 |
| MahaVishnu | share$ I bet you end up with a borked system in this attempt at nothing. | 04:58 |
| DaZ | meh, it's easy to restore one option in etc | 04:59 |
| gypseh | hey all im having some issues with ati onboard stuff (that i never had when i last ran ubuntu) | 04:59 |
| smpn3prabumulih | geoffmmc : additional driver no detection anything | 04:59 |
| L1nuxRules | breaking boxes is sometimes the best way to learn! | 04:59 |
| gypseh | can somebody please help me through this i have tried 4 diff tuts | 04:59 |
| MahaVishnu | DaZ$ not if you dont know what your doing. some people dont especially if they lose x :| | 04:59 |
| RokcStar | i think maybe whoever decided not to have the boot load using multicores was to avoid issues on future cpus | 04:59 |
| share | MahaVishnu: "attempt at nothing"? | 05:00 |
| share | do you even know what that option does? | 05:00 |
| milamber | share: did you read the link i sent you? | 05:00 |
| MahaVishnu | share$ I wasn't really paying attention after you asked about fonts | 05:00 |
| share | not yet | 05:00 |
| milamber | !details | gypseh | 05:00 |
| ubottu | gypseh: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 05:00 |
| MahaVishnu | share$ but I told you the absolute best way to make ubuntu boot faster. better hardware. and an ssd if you don't have one. | 05:01 |
| L1nuxRules | share the first thing you want to look at is startup services not fonts | 05:01 |
| share | L1nuxRules: I already did that... | 05:01 |
| share | LMAO | 05:01 |
| share | but I've read about that fonts tip. | 05:01 |
| share | at least I know I will gain disk space P: | 05:02 |
| MahaVishnu | very little | 05:02 |
| L1nuxRules | share easiest thing to do would be to boot to RL3 then start x | 05:02 |
| RokcStar | share are you doing this for a netbook or a desktop pc? | 05:02 |
| share | desktop | 05:02 |
| share | L1nuxRules: RL3? | 05:02 |
| L1nuxRules | run level 3 (bash) | 05:03 |
| MahaVishnu | also change your WM to something like fluxbox. | 05:03 |
| RokcStar | i would be interested in increasing my boot time on my atom netbook that i bought to play around with since it loads in like 20 seconds | 05:03 |
| organiks | can i do a clean install with LION? | 05:03 |
| organiks | sorry wrong window | 05:03 |
| MahaVishnu | RokcStar$ ssd ;-) | 05:03 |
| share | I boot and load desktop in 40 seconds or so | 05:03 |
| gridbag | audio input thru a mic doesnt work. | 05:03 |
| MahaVishnu | 10-15 seconds here ;-p | 05:03 |
| RokcStar | yea maha but its a touch screen netbook. its an Asus MT101 | 05:03 |
| share | Sometimes the desktop takes a little longer (maybe a bug) | 05:04 |
| MahaVishnu | RokcStar$ doesnt it use 2.5in sata hd? | 05:04 |
| RokcStar | yes | 05:04 |
| MahaVishnu | you can get an ssd in that ;-P | 05:04 |
| RokcStar | its really slow tho | 05:04 |
| RokcStar | i know | 05:04 |
| RokcStar | i dont have money for it tho, its a company toy | 05:04 |
| share | MahaVishnu: I don't have a SSD. They are not cheap. | 05:04 |
| MahaVishnu | you will have noticeably better battery life too and less heat. | 05:04 |
| RokcStar | i want them to buy it for me | 05:04 |
| DVNO | greetings | 05:05 |
| milamber | gridbag: that wasn't really a question . . . but the mic is set to mute by default. right click on the sound icon and go into the preferences | 05:05 |
| MahaVishnu | yea. I dont have a "rock star" ssd just an intel x25-M one of the first mainstream ones I think. it wasn't cheap at the time its only 40gb and its only sata2 but its really fast. | 05:05 |
| share | MahaVishnu: 40 seconds since I press the computer start button until I see desktop fully loaded (shortcuts, icons, panels) with autologin. | 05:05 |
| share | power* :) | 05:05 |
| MahaVishnu | share$ using unity gnome thingy ? | 05:07 |
| MahaVishnu | if you try fluxbox or even xfce you might never go back :| | 05:07 |
| MahaVishnu | share$ do you have a quick boot option in your bios | 05:07 |
| gridbag | milamber, awesome advise, thanks. | 05:07 |
| milamber | gridbag: np | 05:08 |
| L1nuxRules | share your bios is probablly taking most of the time | 05:08 |
| share | MahaVishnu: I dont use unity. Yes I've changed settings in bios. | 05:08 |
| share | no it's not. | 05:08 |
| share | this is not a super computer | 05:09 |
| L1nuxRules | so how long does post take? | 05:09 |
| share | maybe 4 seconds | 05:09 |
| L1nuxRules | fair enough | 05:09 |
| share | if I know what "post" means :P | 05:09 |
| L1nuxRules | power on self test | 05:09 |
| RokcStar | use virtualbox to play with cpu and memory settings and compare ubuntu boot times | 05:10 |
| L1nuxRules | before your system boots from a boot record | 05:10 |
| gypseh | ok so im running lubuntu (32-bit most current version) and i have an onboard ATI radeon HD 4200 tried the restricted drivers got a black screen and cant safeboot tried the manual FGLRX got the same thing...it is REALLY getting me mad | 05:10 |

| Abhijit | hi. i am using kubuntu. how do i use dd to make my usb drive bootable? i have iso. and my usb address is /media/Abhijit | 05:24 |
| Abhijit | help | 05:25 |
| sparr | usr13: I'd like the "Classic" interface from 11.04 | 05:25 |
| wadkar | usr13 : no , I want to tunnel telnet to a remote server which can be only accessed from my machine | 05:25 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: dd will make it bootable only if the image you send to it is bootab.e | 05:25 |
| usr13 | bootable | 05:25 |
| Abhijit | usr13, it is | 05:26 |
| sparr | usr13: xubuntu-desktop is xfce | 05:26 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: Go for it then. | 05:26 |
| Abhijit | usr13, 'how'? | 05:26 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: dd if=image.iso of=/media/disk/or/where-ever | 05:27 |
| L1nuxRules | !ssh port tunnelling | 05:27 |
| ubottu | L1nuxRules: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:27 |
| Abhijit | usr13, ok | 05:27 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sd? | 05:27 |
| L1nuxRules | !ssh tunnelling | wadkar | 05:27 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: Where sd? is the partition. Like sdb1 | 05:27 |
| milamber | Abhijit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles | 05:27 |
| L1nuxRules | !ssh tunnelling | 05:28 |
| wadkar | L1nuxRules: yeah, trying '' ssh -L '' and '' ssh -R '' and see which one is right for me | 05:28 |
| Abhijit | milamber, its not an ubuntu iso i am usbin kubuntu | 05:28 |
| Abhijit | usr13, ok | 05:28 |
| usr13 | sparr: yes it is. | 05:28 |
| usr13 | sparr: You are correct | 05:28 |
| milamber | Abhijit: the dd command will be the same, dd copies bits so the command will work with pretty much any relatively current deb iso | 05:29 |
| milamber | deb-based* | 05:29 |
| Abhijit | milamber, okies] | 05:29 |
| Abhijit | okies | 05:30 |
| Abhijit | no its not deb based iso | 05:30 |
| Abhijit | its rpm milamber | 05:30 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: What exactly are you trying to do? | 05:30 |
| Abhijit | usr13, burn iso to usb | 05:30 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: What the easy way? | 05:30 |
| Abhijit | usr13, unetbootin | 05:30 |
| Abhijit | but it hangs atg 23% | 05:31 |
| Abhijit | and now dd is hanged too | 05:31 |
| sparr | usr13: did they remove the classic gnome interface from 11.10? | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: There is no rpm version of Ubuntu. What iso are you using? Where did you get it? Why do you think it has anything to do with rpm? | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | !notunity | sparr | 05:32 |
| ubottu | sparr: 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 | 05:32 |
| Abhijit | bah | 05:32 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, i never said i am buring rpm version of ubuntu. i said what the iso i am buring is rpm distro | 05:33 |
| Abhijit | and i am doing all this inside kubuntu | 05:33 |
| sparr | Jordan_U: thanks. hopefully the new UI will be ready in another few versions | 05:33 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: Yea, that, or http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download and check "USB stick" and choose platform. | 05:33 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: Then you should probably ask in that distribution's support channel. You also still haven't answered the question of what distribution it is. | 05:33 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, mandriva | 05:33 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, inside this kubuntu unetbooting hangs and dd hangs too | 05:34 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: As fare as I know, there is no rpm version of Ubuntu. | 05:34 |
| Abhijit | usr13, thankyou | 05:34 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: What do you mean "rpm version"? | 05:34 |
| Abhijit | nothing | 05:34 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: Ok, never mind. | 05:34 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: What is the exact dd command you ran? How long has it "hung"? | 05:35 |
| L1nuxRules | abhijit you do know you can use yum in ubuntu? | 05:35 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, dd if=myisopath of=/dev/sdc1 | 05:35 |
| Abhijit | L1nuxRules, i dont want to that is not my issue | 05:35 |
| L1nuxRules | ok | 05:35 |
| usr13 | L1nuxRules: Really? | 05:35 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, dd finished burining iso | 05:35 |
| Abhijit | !yum | 05:35 |
| ubottu | Uh, don't you mean !apt ? | 05:35 |
| Abhijit | nope | 05:35 |
| Linuxnut | Anybody out there using snort | 05:36 |
| L1nuxRules | you can use any package manager as long as you only use the one otherwise your box will get messed up | 05:36 |
| usr13 | L1nuxRules: Well, you can use apt and aptitude and those two won't mess you up. | 05:36 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, usr13 thank you for your help. L1nuxRules thank you for your willingness to help. the dd has finished the iso writing. let me boot my usb. brb. :-0 | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: OK, *if* mandrivia images are designed to be written to a disk using dd then they need to be written to the disk as a whole, not to a partition (the person helping you was incorrect when they told you it should be a partition). | 05:37 |
| === r3v0|WhippleDip is now known as zz_r3v0|WhippleD | ||
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, yes i am aware of that | 05:37 |
| L1nuxRules | usr13 they share the sme DB if you wanted to used yum it would use a seperate DB | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: Then why did you run "dd if=myisopath of=/dev/sdc1"? | 05:37 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: May need syslinux | 05:37 |
| Abhijit | jordan, becaues sdc1 is my whole usb device ist not a single partition insde my usb device | 05:38 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, ^ | 05:38 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: Correction, sdb1 is a single partition | 05:38 |
| usr13 | *sdc1 | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: Linux names devices sd{letter corrosponding to drive}{number corrosponding to partition}. If there is a number in the device name (at least in this case) it means it's a partition. | 05:39 |
| L1nuxRules | sdc is the device sda* is the partitions | 05:39 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, may i show you gparted screenshot for my usb drive? | 05:39 |
| L1nuxRules | sdc* | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: Sure. | 05:39 |
| usr13 | L1nuxRules: sdc is the device sdc1 is the partition | 05:40 |

| Rudolfhimmler | wow | 05:41 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, http://imagebin.org/188356 | 05:41 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: That confirms what we have told you (which is always true). See in the top right how it lists the drive as "sdc"? | 05:42 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: And how under the "Partition" column you see "/dev/sdc1"? | 05:43 |
| Abhijit | yep you are right. but dd has successfully written image to disk. what shall i do not? shall just test it if it boots or what? | 05:43 |
| Abhijit | now* | 05:43 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: You may need syslinux | 05:43 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: It almost certainly won't boot. | 05:44 |
| Abhijit | okies | 05:44 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, any idea regarding unetbooting hanging at 23%? | 05:44 |
| y0gu | hi | 05:44 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: How long did you wait for it? | 05:44 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, 10mins | 05:44 |
| Jordan_U | Abhijit: I would try waiting longer. | 05:45 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, okies. let me try | 05:46 |
| Abhijit | brb | 05:46 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: You will need a boot image and a command something like dd if=usbboot.img of=/dev/sdc bs=512 | 05:46 |
| tmm1 | i'm using dpkg-checkbuilddeps to generate a list of unmet dependencies (in the format "a b | c d e"). how can i pass this to apt-get install to try to resolve | 05:46 |
| L1nuxRules | tm1 use xargs | 05:47 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: But before that, you'll need to create the boot image with syslinux -s | 05:47 |
| tmm1 | i'm wondering about the "b | c" style dependencies in particular | 05:48 |
| Jordan_U | tmm1: What is your end goal? | 05:48 |
| zorlac | hello, im having trouble finding graphics drivres for my ubuntu machine, anyone help? | 05:49 |
| L1nuxRules | well you would need to awk or sed to do that but the basic would be dpkg-checkbuilddeps | xargs aptitude install | 05:49 |
| zorlac | is that for me l1nuxrules | 05:49 |
| L1nuxRules | no zorlac | 05:50 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, yep it wont boot!!! let my try waiting longer for unetbootin! ;-) | 05:50 |
| Abhijit | me* | 05:50 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: See: man syslinux | 05:51 |
| Abhijit | usr13, its about bootloader. its complicated! | 05:51 |
| usr13 | Abhijit: You will need create a boot image and write it to the MBR of the device: dd if=usbboot.img of=/dev/sdc bs=512 | 05:52 |
| polardude1983 | zorlac, did you check if there were any drivers to install from "Hardware Drivers"? | 05:52 |
| Abhijit | usr13, now wil try dd later. m now giving try for unetbootin first | 05:52 |
| zorlac | yeah it says there are none | 05:52 |
| polardude1983 | zorlac, the only thing next would be to go to the website of your graphics card for the driver | 05:53 |
| polardude1983 | zorlac, that's all i can think of at least. | 05:54 |
| zorlac | its a crazy onboard one. | 05:54 |

| tmm1 | Jordan_U: i want to generate an `apt-get install ...` line to execute based on a control file. using dpkg-checkbuilddeps gives me the list of unmet dependencies that need installation | 05:55 |
| DaZ | you don't install .gz files | 05:55 |
| CoolStar | anyone know how to debug a firefox plugin i compiled on ubuntu? | 05:55 |
| polardude1983 | zorlac, well i guess that all depends on what is in it. a .gz file is like a zip file | 05:55 |
| Jordan_U | usr13: Unfortunately I don't think any distribution's iso images are meant to be written to a partition rather than to the device as a whole. Writing an MS style chainloading boot sector to the mbr won't change that. | 05:55 |
| DaZ | you can tar -xf to unpack it | 05:55 |
| somsip | DaZ: tar zxf with .gz files | 05:55 |
| King_Ozzy | "write an iso" is quite the miswording | 05:56 |
| Abhijit | CoolStar, #firefox on irc.mozilla.org | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | tmm1: That's not really an *end* goal. If your end goal is to install any dependencies needed to build a package that can be done with "apt-get build-dep packagename". | 05:56 |
| pepper | hey | 05:56 |
| L1nuxRules | gunzip for .gz | 05:57 |
| Abhijit | Jordan_U, actually when this unetbooting hanged then i thought about dd and on mandriva doc page they have mentioned that we can use dd thats why i tried dd | 05:57 |
| Ansikt | !hey | 05:57 |
| DaZ | xf works as well, iirc. | 05:57 |
| L1nuxRules | tar -zxf for tar.gz | 05:57 |

| L1nuxRules | zorlac dont you mean rpm? | 06:01 |
| Jordan_U | zorlac: What GPU do you have? Don't try to install anything else yet. | 06:01 |
| usr13 | xrandr just tells you what your options are with current display adapter | 06:01 |
| polardude1983 | funny thing is rmp is a file extension and so is rpm, but both are completely different :p | 06:02 |
| L1nuxRules | rpm is Linux package though | 06:02 |
| sn00p | usr13, would you know why ubuntu would want to use vesa for my external display since intel graphics are onboard and is my chipset | 06:02 |
| pepper | please help icant work | 06:02 |
| L1nuxRules | a* my a key is sticking | 06:03 |
| usr13 | sn00p: And if right now, you want to switch to 1024x768 just do xrandr -s 1024x768 (If it's in the list it will do it, if not, forget it_ | 06:03 |
| King_Ozzy | rpm is one of the package types used by some Linux distros | 06:03 |
| L1nuxRules | most* | 06:03 |
| polardude1983 | pepper, all I can say for ubuntu being stuck is at the load page. is you will need probably an ubuntu live cd to fix it | 06:03 |
| King_Ozzy | some | 06:03 |
| L1nuxRules | most* more than deb anyway | 06:04 |
| usr13 | sn00p: I don't know... | 06:04 |
| King_Ozzy | you don't realize just how many distros and distro lineages there are out there | 06:04 |
| pepper | i have the cd.so how do i do it | 06:04 |
| King_Ozzy | most, not at all | 06:04 |

| iqbalkhan | excuse me guys,,, | 06:31 |
| iqbalkhan | anyone can show me, step by step installing ubuntu server 11.10 | 06:31 |
| iqbalkhan | ? | 06:31 |
| Linuxnut | Any body out there run openvz | 06:31 |
| iqbalkhan | i want to install ubuntu server in my PC, and set as Server | 06:32 |
| iqbalkhan | So other computer can connect to the server | 06:32 |
| Linuxnut | Just install ssh | 06:32 |
| Linuxnut | and theres your server | 06:33 |
| TACPILOT | setting a server is like saying u gonna be a doctor ... there are about 1,000,000,000 diff kinds of doctors | 06:33 |
| Linuxnut | What type of server do you want | 06:33 |
| iqbalkhan | Linuxnut: so i must install ss | 06:33 |
| Linuxnut | ssh | 06:33 |
| Linuxnut | its like telnet | 06:34 |
| TACPILOT | openssh-server | 06:34 |
| Linuxnut | say your servers ip address is 192.168.1.17 you would type ssh 192.168.1.17 | 06:34 |
| TACPILOT | 192.168.1.17 must have the server running on it | 06:35 |
| Linuxnut | Indeed | 06:35 |
| TACPILOT | u can then connect to it with the ssh client | 06:35 |
| iqbalkhan | Linuxnut: Sorry i'm newbie what do you mean type of server? | 06:35 |
| TACPILOT | clients dont need the server unless u gonna connect to them as well | 06:36 |
| iqbalkhan | i don't know abut that | 06:36 |
| Linuxnut | What do you want to host on your server | 06:36 |
| TACPILOT | iqbalkhan: if u dont know what kind of server and are just wanting to learn about such things just do a base install of the system and dive right in | 06:37 |
| TACPILOT | iqbalkhan: recommend getting a spare computer to work with so u not worry about dual booting and messing with any windows installs u may be running | 06:38 |
| TACPILOT | when u get a little more comfortable then dual booting will be easier to setup | 06:39 |
| Linuxnut | Anybody using openvz | 06:41 |
| TACPILOT | no but what is it ? | 06:41 |
| TACPILOT | nvm googled it | 06:42 |
| Linuxnut | Yay its hard to explain | 06:43 |
| TACPILOT | currious what the diff from a vm and why not use something virtual box ? | 06:44 |
| Linuxnut | Did you google openvz | 06:44 |
| TACPILOT | yeah but at a glance seems similar to vm's | 06:44 |
| === robbmunson is now known as notignored | ||
| Linuxnut | virtual box is for emulating hardware not an opperating system | 06:44 |
| Linuxnut | So im on my openvz box and i want a new server i type in a cuple of commands and bamb new server | 06:46 |
| TACPILOT | I currently have 5 vm's with 5 diff os's on them .. not sure whats the diff ? | 06:46 |
| TACPILOT | do they all have native hardware support or are they still going through an emulated abstaction layer ? | 06:48 |
| Linuxnut | Openvz don't emulate a computer | 06:49 |
| Linuxnut | if that tells you anything | 06:49 |
| TACPILOT | just trying to picture how the isolation occurs .. how the mem boudaries are partitioned and how they share designated hardware ... all still seems like a vm abstraction | 06:51 |
| TACPILOT | whats the advantage over vm ? | 06:52 |
| Linuxnut | Let me put it to you this way you can run about 10 server on one gig of ram | 06:53 |
| TACPILOT | o.o | 06:53 |
| TACPILOT | thats interesting | 06:53 |
| Linuxnut | And it takes about five commands | 06:54 |
| amin` | hello | 06:54 |
| TACPILOT | are all the environment requirements for each server auto-dynamically alocated ? | 06:55 |
| amin` | i try to connect to my vpn connection in NM; after i click on my vpn connection an window appears and ask for password and has two check box save just for this session and save in keyring. anyhow after i put my pass and enter the vpn connection which up to this point trys to connect suddenly stops WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? | 06:55 |
| Linuxnut | you can have a whole network of linux computrs running on one box it's grate stuff | 06:55 |
| Ansikt | I'd say that OpenVZ is a lot more similar to a chroot or a Solaris Zone than a virtual machine. Can't you also get pretty slim virtualization with KVM? I've heard good things, but never tried. | 06:55 |
| TACPILOT | sounds cool .. I'll need to learn more about it. | 06:56 |
| === ratman is now known as ratman3 | ||
| Linuxnut | #$@$#@ openvz is not for virtual machine's | 06:57 |
| Linuxnut | You can install openvz on virtual box | 06:58 |
| TACPILOT | the best I can figure is that it isolates dedicated mem areas and time shares cpu/hardware | 06:58 |
| Linuxnut | No you do all that, thats the fun part | 06:59 |
| TACPILOT | so each os gets X amount of time to utilize the hardware natively | 06:59 |
| Paul_E | HEY | 06:59 |
| Paul_E | (just wanting to say hi) | 06:59 |

| iqbalkhan | to the server | 07:09 |

| TACPILOT | listen to ikonia | 07:11 |
| Linuxnut | Try not to install a gui for a while you will lern a lot, stay in the man pages write useless shell scripts | 07:11 |

| ikonia | there is no law that says "you must use the command line on a server" | 07:12 |
| ikonia | iqbalkhan: if you give us an idea of what gui you want / need / expected we can help you install it | 07:13 |
| ikonia | iqbalkhan: or if you tell us the goal you have of using the gui, we can also advise you | 07:13 |
| iqbalkhan | okonia: because the gui is easier than console | 07:13 |

| ikonia | mind | 07:13 |
| TACPILOT | untill he is more comfortable with it I fear command line only will be to frustrating especially since it sounds like he has a colaborative deadline | 07:13 |
| Linuxnut | you can't program a gui | 07:13 |
| Ansikt | Perhaps a good compromise for our friend iqbalkhan would be a minimal install of openbox + tint2 + nitrogen + lxappearance for a simple gui. | 07:14 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: who said he's programming | 07:14 |
| Ansikt | That way, no bloat, and he only has to start it when he needs it. | 07:14 |

| Linuxnut | Ubuntu server is ubuntu without gnome | 07:16 |

| MahaVishnu | iqbalkhan$ http://paste.ubuntu.com/768705/ you need something like that in /etc/network/interfaces | 07:21 |
| evildaemon | Wow. | 07:21 |

| Jordan_U | tmm1: You're welcome. I'm glad you figured it out. | 07:21 |

| evildaemon | The DISPLAY variable isn't set. | 07:28 |
| ikonia | evildaemon: then you'll need to set it | 07:28 |
| Ansikt | Specify it with the -- [DISPLAY] | 07:28 |
| evildaemon | And startx throws up telling me that I'm already running a first server/ | 07:28 |
| ikonia | evildaemon: probably because you've not set DISPLAY to differentiate | 07:28 |

| ud | which is still an alfa release | 07:33 |
| ikonia | ud: how are you launching update manager | 07:34 |
| ud | alt F2 then upgrade-manager -d | 07:34 |
| ikonia | ud: where in that guide that you said you tried does it say do update-manager -d | 07:34 |
| ikonia | ud: -d is for development releases, which is why you are getting the development release of 12.04 | 07:35 |

| Guest58748 | where should i get help for package not downloading from launchpad? | 07:38 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: because this channel is for ubuntu support | 07:38 |
| Linuxnut | lol ubuntu is debian | 07:39 |
| ikonia | Guest58748: what sort of package, from where ? | 07:39 |
| Ansikt | Linuxnut: Because this is the Ubuntu channel, not debian. However, debian has a powerpc port, so yeah...use that. | 07:39 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: no, it's not, it's based on debian | 07:39 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: use #debian | 07:39 |

| Guest58748 | ikonia: package is dejadup. site launchpad thats why i asked where to get help for launchpad? | 07:39 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: the PPC port on ubuntu is dead, it's a community maintained project only | 07:40 |
| ikonia | !PPC | Linuxnut | 07:40 |
| ubottu | Linuxnut: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 07:40 |

| Guest58748 | ikonia: oh sorry. i mean there is download dejadu.tar.gz option on the web page | 07:41 |
| Guest58748 | from there | 07:41 |

| simulation | hello guys i have setup virtual hosts to my ubuntu server, the virtual hosts are working well but when i try to access from ip to server it shows one of the virtual hosts on my browser, how can i solve that issue ? I want to show the default page of server when i access from ip to it ? | 07:46 |
| ikonia | simulation: once you setup name based virtual hosts, you can only access sites by name, if you use IP it defaults to the first virtual host | 07:47 |

| simulation | ikonia: well so i cant show the server default page by ip when i use name based virtual host ? | 07:49 |
| Linuxnut | kemza use openvz its the best | 07:49 |
| Linuxnut | and it's ez | 07:49 |
| ikonia | simulation: because the server relies on host headers (you've turned them on) to work out which site to use, when you hit it by IP, there are no host headers, so it defaults to the first virtual site available. | 07:49 |
| simulation | ikonia: ok thanks for help | 07:50 |
| kemza | Linuxnut - openvz for VPN? | 07:50 |
| Linuxnut | Yes ser | 07:51 |
| Linuxnut | openvz is the way to go | 07:51 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: please explain how a virtuazation option is the way to go for setting up a VPN | 07:51 |
| Linuxnut | Thats what im learning as we speek | 07:51 |
| rainbowwarrior | hello | 07:52 |
| Linuxnut | Openvz with snort and splunk | 07:52 |
| santv2 | privet | 07:52 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: that is not a VPN | 07:52 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: that is IDS | 07:52 |
| Linuxnut | openvz is not a ids | 07:52 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: I know it's not, but using a virtual machine, with snort and splunk is an IDS setup, not a VPN | 07:53 |
| Linuxnut | openvz is not a vm | 07:53 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: it's a container system | 07:53 |
| Linuxnut | Yes | 07:53 |
| Linuxnut | Do you use it | 07:53 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: that is virtualization | 07:53 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: and again, nothing to do with VPN as the question was asked | 07:54 |
| Linuxnut | Its not hardware virtualization | 07:54 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: I know it's not | 07:54 |
| ikonia | Linuxnut: however, it is nothing to do with setting up a VPN | 07:54 |

| ikonia | dfcnvt: http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/chmod/ | 07:55 |

| prince_jammys | ''man chmod'' gives an overview, but maybe not in-depth enough. | 07:57 |
| sparr | My windows don't have menus any more, the menu bar just gains a close/min/max button when i hover it | 07:58 |
| sparr | help? | 07:58 |
| smw | dfcnvt, the serverfault link gives a practical "what you need to know" | 07:58 |
| Linuxnut | info chmod is better | 07:58 |
| dfcnvt | What's the different between info and man? | 07:58 |
| Linuxnut | info pages use emacs to display the info | 07:59 |
| prince_jammys | dfcnvt: 'man' is the traditional unix documentation, 'info' is a GNU-ism. Sometimes info pages have more detail, sometimes they are the same. | 07:59 |
| prince_jammys | ... and you navigate the pages differently | 07:59 |
| dfcnvt | ...Alright. Thanks anyway. | 08:00 |

| TACPILOT | Linuxnut: remember her birthday | 08:42 |
| Linuxnut | In computer terminology, a honeypot is a trap set to detect, deflect, or in some manner counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. Generally it consists of a computer, data, or a network site that appears to be part of a network, but is actually isolated and monitored, and which seems to contain information or a resource of value to attackers. | 08:43 |

After awhile, my screen starts flashing red/green/blue/white/black and the CD drive is going crazy scanning really fast. Is this normal, because after a minute of this going on I decided to force shutdown. | 08:44 |
| frankcox679 | sure - look for the file called users guide and read it | 08:44 |

| frankcox679 | woogi-or you can format the windows partition -fix grub and use the partition for another Linux install if you want | 09:33 |
| woogi | i have it on usb but when i reboot the usb isnt recogniozed by my computer as being a startup disk | 09:33 |
| Sterist | almoxarife meaning update manager? | 09:33 |
| Gentoo64 | woogi, i think unetbooting is the most common one, although they should all work | 09:33 |
| RaTTuS | woogi make sure that your bios is set to boot from usb drives | 09:33 |
| frankcox679 | woogi- a startup disk is to get a broken system to boot-not to install | 09:33 |
| sasank | how can i increase my download speed in linux | 09:33 |
| woogi | i cant access my bios RaTTuS | 09:34 |
| llutz_ | !ops | sasank keeps trolling | 09:34 |

| Gentoo64 | sasank, dont you get bored lol | 09:34 |
| woogi | that wld be easiest | 09:34 |
| Sterist | sasank get a better internet connection lol | 09:34 |
| RaTTuS | woogi why not? what hardware are you running | 09:34 |
| almoxarife | Sterist: I thought you were talking about synaptic, not sure where the refrsh is done on 'update-manager' , but a refresh is needed yes | 09:34 |
| iceroot | llutz_: ah i thought you are op too | 09:34 |
| frankcox679 | woogi how did you install Ubuntu to the USB | 09:34 |
| Linuxnut | sasank you cant | 09:34 |
| Myrtti | ho-hum | 09:34 |
| woogi | i have a sony vaio | 09:34 |
| llutz_ | iceroot: unfortunately not :) | 09:34 |
| Myrtti | well that was easier way to handle it | 09:34 |
| woogi | yes frank. i make a sd on my usb. | 09:34 |
| woogi | made | 09:35 |
| Gentoo64 | no doubt sasank will be back | 09:35 |
| frankcox679 | woogi -what program did you use to install the LiveCd to usb | 09:35 |
| frankcox679 | you cant just copy it and expect it to boot | 09:35 |
| woogi | i didnt =) | 09:36 |
| frankcox679 | that is your problem-one of them anyway | 09:36 |
| almoxarife | woogi: perhaps you can explain what you want to achieve? | 09:36 |
| frankcox679 | Do you have a dvd drive? | 09:36 |
| woogi | yes | 09:37 |
| Gentoo64 | woogi, if you have a cd drive and a cd / dvd. use that its more reliable | 09:37 |
| Gentoo64 | if not try ubetbootin | 09:37 |
| frankcox679 | almo -he wants to wipe the drive and install Ubuntu as the onnly os | 09:37 |
| woogi | ty | 09:37 |
| woogi | cldnt have said it better myself | 09:37 |
| frankcox679 | the easiest way is to burn the iso to the dvd and boot that way | 09:38 |
| woogi | but just burning it, copying it, doesnt make a sd does it? | 09:38 |
| frankcox679 | booting fron USB can be a pain | 09:38 |
| woogi | yes it is | 09:39 |
| Gentoo64 | woogi, with a cd / dvd it does | 09:39 |
| Gentoo64 | just born the iso to it and itll boot | 09:39 |
| Gentoo64 | burn* | 09:39 |
| frankcox679 | if you burn the iso file you will have a livecd woogi | 09:39 |
| frankcox679 | Woogi-it will not only boot but you can actually run the os from the dvd | 09:39 |
| woogi | so if i copy the iso file to dvd and reboot...then what? | 09:40 |
| almoxarife | woogi: I will assume you don't have ubuntu, if you do, use start-up-disk creator to place the iso and bootup on a usb or cd/dvd, if you don't have ubuntu, windows? burn the iso to a cd/dvd, you want to wipe the disk clean??? in the install choose 'all of it' ' the whole thing' I forget what the option is | 09:40 |
| Gentoo64 | woogi, burn the iso to dvd, boot the dvd and itll run ubuntu from ram, and you can install it while its running | 09:40 |
| frankcox679 | woogi-use Brasero to burn the iso | 09:40 |
| share | only text at boot without splash right? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" | 09:41 |
| Gentoo64 | woogi, on windows when you boot the dvd, it runs the setup. on most linux it runs the actual os straight away | 09:41 |
| Gentoo64 | and you install it from there | 09:41 |
| woogi | windows is dead in the water | 09:41 |
| woogi | no mas windows | 09:42 |
| Gentoo64 | do you have any way of burning the dvd? | 09:42 |
| frankcox679 | woogi-ubuntu still works right? | 09:42 |
| almoxarife | woogi: guess you will need to wait, run along now | 09:42 |
| frankcox679 | use brasero in Ubuntu to burn the iso to disk | 09:42 |
| Sterist | almoxarife i removed the source and key then reloaded and it's still there in the software center | 09:42 |
| woogi | yes. i'm using ubuntu right now, an install from wubi, meaning i'm still in the windows fog somewhere | 09:42 |
| Sterist | almoxarife what kind of black magic is this? | 09:43 |
| greenit | any1 knows hot to set qbittorrent as standard torrent program in 11.10? | 09:43 |
| Gentoo64 | woogi, well you know what to do | 09:43 |
| frankcox679 | look for a program called brasero woogi | 09:43 |
| woogi | i have it | 09:43 |
| woogi | thatnks for the help | 09:43 |
| almoxarife | Sterist: I would assume its there, there is a chrome version avail without ppa, but the question is , is it installed? | 09:43 |
| frankcox679 | it is simple -just burn the iso and your in business | 09:43 |
| frankcox679 | yw | 09:44 |
| woogi | and almoxarife, you can kiss my ass, you little lamer! | 09:44 |
| almoxarife | woogi: was that a question? | 09:44 |
| almoxarife | woogi: no! | 09:44 |

| Sterist | almoxarife chrome was completely removed prior to removing the source + key, and after the reload the "chromium daily" category is still in the software center and the chromium version is exactly the same | 09:45 |
| almoxarife | Sterist: removing the ppa does nothing to the one avail normally | 09:45 |

| Sterist | gentoo64 flash is disabled in it | 09:46 |
| Gentoo64 | shouldnt be.. | 09:46 |
| Sterist | well it is lol | 09:46 |
| Gentoo64 | it dont come with flash btw | 09:47 |
| almoxarife | Sterist: I am not sure what to expect in 'software center', I don't use it, if you have 'synaptic' avail, and want to look for it? | 09:47 |
| Gentoo64 | i hope you know lol | 09:47 |
| Sterist | gentoo64 chromium has flash integrated lol google partnered with adobe for that | 09:47 |
| Gentoo64 | Sterist, chrome does | 09:47 |
| Gentoo64 | chromium dont | 09:47 |
| Sterist | same thing ..? | 09:47 |
| Gentoo64 | no | 09:47 |
| Gentoo64 | chromium is the raw open source version | 09:48 |
| Gentoo64 | that google hasnt modified | 09:48 |
| Gentoo64 | you need to install flash | 09:48 |
| Gentoo64 | manually | 09:48 |
| Sterist | gentoo64 will you be my aide? lol | 09:48 |
| almoxarife | Gentoo64: there is a pckg for flash | 09:48 |

| jasonmsp | hey all. is it possible to ssh into my machine and launch the GUI frontend from another computer? | 09:49 |
| Gentoo64 | isk what the pacjage is called lol | 09:49 |
| XeiaieX | hallo jeden | 09:49 |
| Sterist | gentoo64 i did that when i first installed ubuntu 2 years ago | 09:49 |
| Gentoo64 | try it again | 09:49 |
| almoxarife | jasonmsp: yes, | 09:49 |
| jasonmsp | almoxarife: link? | 09:50 |
| almoxarife | !info putty | jasonmsp | 09:50 |
| ubottu | jasonmsp: putty (source: putty): Telnet/SSH client for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.61-1 (oneiric), package size 322 kB, installed size 820 kB | 09:50 |
| jasonmsp | putty is windows.. either way. once I ssh in how do I launch the frontend GUI? | 09:51 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp: on the remote or locally? | 09:51 |
| almoxarife | jasonmsp: what is it you want to run? | 09:51 |
| jasonmsp | the frontend GUI | 09:51 |
| dr_willis | that means nothing to us jason | 09:52 |
| almoxarife | jasonmsp: nautilus will allow you to do pretty much anything | 09:52 |
| jasonmsp | dr_willis: sorry.. I want to see my desktop like I am sitting in front of my computer at the house. | 09:52 |
| almoxarife | jasonmsp: what you are wanting is remote-desktop? | 09:52 |
| jasonmsp | almoxarife: yes | 09:52 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp: use vnc. or xming on windows | 09:53 |
| jasonmsp | then the more difficult question is, can that be done from a mac? | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | you want a remote desktop | 09:53 |
| jasonmsp | dr_willis: yes | 09:53 |
| ewook | morning. I'm a bit lost. Need to 'extract' the last installed .deb files from apt (ie, from the cache), any pointers how to do that? | 09:53 |
| almoxarife | jasonmsp: the machine you want into needs to be setup to allow you in first, then its cake | 09:53 |
| stephenh | hello, i've extended a drive in vmware, how can i make linux see the change without a reboot? | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | vnc,freenx,xming, and others... | 09:53 |
| almoxarife | jasonmsp: I assume its also a desktop, not server | 09:54 |
| jasonmsp | almoxarife: i can ssh into my machine and get a command prompt from anywhere. iptables is setup to let me in and everyone else out. | 09:54 |
| jasonmsp | almoxarife: yes it is a desktop | 09:54 |
| DaZ | stephenh: doesn't cfdisk see the change? | 09:54 |
| stephenh | every page i've read thus far says a reboot is required :/ | 09:54 |
| stephenh | nope | 09:54 |
| stephenh | i thought partprobe would do the trick, but it hasn't.. | 09:54 |
| stephenh | i would rather extend the vmdk and then extend partition | 09:55 |
| Gentoo64 | stephenh, why not just reboot? | 09:55 |
| stephenh | otherwise option 2 is to add a new drive into lvm | 09:55 |
| stephenh | cause sometimes you don't want to reboot... | 09:55 |
| DaZ | i think you'll have to add another drive :c | 09:55 |
| stephenh | there must be a way | 09:55 |
| DaZ | somehow. | 09:55 |
| stephenh | if windows can do it | 09:55 |
| stephenh | linux must be able to | 09:55 |
| stephenh | :/ | 09:55 |
| Gentoo64 | yeah but major changes people just reboot normally | 09:55 |
| FloodBot1 | stephenh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:55 |
| DaZ | hum | 09:55 |
| ewook | nevermind, belived that they weren't the files in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 09:55 |
| almoxarife | jasonmsp: use ssh to get a 'gnome-terminal' | 09:55 |
| stephenh | Gentoo64: extending a drive is not a major change | 09:55 |
| DaZ | but it doesn't happen often. | 09:56 |
| Gentoo64 | stephenh, remount it? | 09:56 |
| stephenh | remount a / partition? | 09:56 |
| DaZ | yup | 09:56 |
| stephenh | DaZ: sure | 09:56 |
| DaZ | mount -o remount,rw / | 09:56 |
| DaZ | but i don't know how this resizing actually works though :x | 09:57 |
| stephenh | DaZ: that's not going to reread dev/sda.. | 09:57 |
| jasonmsp | almoxarife: getting in isn't the problem. let me explain in more detail. I don't think I am being clear. I am in country A and my ubuntu desktop is in country B. I regularly access my machine by SSH and have never need to do anything outside of that. Now I want to access evolution/thunderbird, but since that is not a command line program, I would like to get to it from the machine I am siting at presently. | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | you enlarged the virtual disk. then used gparted to enlarge the filesystem | 09:58 |
| stephenh | got it :) | 09:59 |
| stephenh | echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/2\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan | 09:59 |
| stephenh | :) | 09:59 |
| llutz_ | jasonmsp: ssh -X host then just run "thunderbird". needs x-server at your local machine runnig | 09:59 |
| jasonmsp | llutz_: thanks! | 09:59 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp: install xming on windows. it lets you ssh to and display remote apps locally | 09:59 |
| almoxarife | jasonmsp: via ssh, can you open a gnome terminal? | 09:59 |
| llutz_ | jasonmsp: x-forwarding is what you want | 09:59 |
| llutz_ | uppercase X rather | 10:00 |

| stephenh | zabomber: it's a website.. when do you 'auto start' a vhost in a webserver? | 10:14 |
| stephenh | and i lul cause within the first 3 links on google for 'ajaxterm' i get the page explaining how it works and how to mod the config | 10:15 |

| stephenh | not a continuously running process | 10:24 |
| zabomber | nah... | 10:24 |
| zabomber | its has to be a continuously running process to service 8022 port... | 10:24 |
| zabomber | something has to be listening on that port | 10:24 |
| zabomber | and thats the python script which is ajaxterm | 10:25 |
| stephenh | :| | 10:25 |
| zabomber | Apache2 is irrelevant as is "locks" down the access to Ajaxterm | 10:25 |

| Tzunamii | stepnjump: it depends if your user have the same uid on your new home or not (if it's on the same box or not). If it's on the same box the uid will be the same and you can preserve the permissions while copying with 'cp -Rvp', for instance | 11:01 |

| tru3fate | *option | 11:07 |
| almoxarife | tru3fate: pick one to share, it will auto install all you need to share across the network | 11:07 |

| Tzunamii | Could be a faulty HDD from factory. However, I'd recommend booting a LiveCD/DVD/USB and mount and unmount the device/partition once and then do fsck on it. The mount/umount is to write the journal-entries before doing the fsck | 11:28 |

| KNUBBIG | raidgh0st: the open source drivers work shitty. The ones under additional drivers work well until you want to use gnome-shell and the catalyst drivers sometimes work and sometimes don't :p | 11:57 |
| geirha | kayson: Oh access denied. It's possible the filesystem doesn't allow executing files. | 11:57 |
| KNUBBIG | and their installation process is complete bull**** | 11:58 |
| ikonia | KNUBBIG: tone it down please, if you have to start it - don't say it | 11:58 |
| kayson | um not sure if its Fat32 or not | 11:58 |
| raidgh0st | KNUBBIG: I agree on that the open source drivers SUCks bigtime. it gives a screen picture. but when you want to play games like tuxracer and other 3d games it goes PIcture by picture | 11:58 |
| raidgh0st | no acceleration at all. | 11:58 |
| kayson | Geirha how do i fix dat? | 11:58 |
| glebihan | kayson, is it on your main linux drive ?? | 11:58 |
| raidgh0st | maybe he missing gcc | 11:58 |
| geirha | kayson: Try it in your homedir. That should be an ext4 filesystem | 11:58 |
| kayson | no its not... its another partion | 11:59 |
| KNUBBIG | ikonia: sorry, got upset because I had to remake my laptop about five times because of these drivers :) | 11:59 |
| glebihan | kayson, then that's probably it, try in your home dir and see if it works | 11:59 |

| paulsomebody | Greetings. Can anyone help me with the issue with the screen resolution? My monitor LCD has the native resolution of 1440×900, but due to the technical flaw in the monitor it is reported as 1280×1024 to the system. Therefore, I needed to set a custom resolution via the Nvidia X Server Settings, which I did. Now I am having the problem at the startup: there is a message stating that video mode is not supported. | 12:31 |
| paulsomebody | So, can anyone instruct me how to add the video mode for this resolution? | 12:32 |
| harsh343 | Is it possible to install dreamweaver in linux ? | 12:33 |
| harsh343 | ?? | 12:33 |
| DJones | harsh343: It may be possible using wine which is a windows emulator | 12:34 |
| DJones | harsh343: This link suggests it can work with 10.04 http://www.noob2geek.com/linux/how-to-install-and-run-dreamweaver-cs4-in-ubuntu/ It might give you a starting point | 12:35 |
| harsh343 | DJones anything else ? | 12:35 |
| DJones | !wine | harsh343 A good place to ask would be in the wine irc channel, | 12:36 |
| ubottu | harsh343 A good place to ask would be in the wine irc channel,: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 12:36 |
| harsh343 | DJones, ok thanks | 12:36 |
| paulsomebody | DJones, can you help with my issue? | 12:37 |
| DJones | harsh343: Beyond that I can't help, I don't use wine | 12:37 |
| harsh343 | ok | 12:37 |
| frogzoo | does ubuntu have any other tools for verifying an install other than debsums? | 12:37 |
| harsh343 | DJones, without using wine. ? | 12:38 |
| DJones | paulsomebody: I'm afraid not, I've not had problems with screen resolutions for a long time, it might be worth checking you've got the correct video driver installed first | 12:39 |
| paulsomebody | DJones: Yes, I think I do. | 12:39 |
| harsh343 | DJones, there ? | 12:39 |
| DJones | harsh343: As far as I know, dreamweaver is windows only software, the only way would be using wine or running a windows install inside a virtual machine | 12:40 |
| shomon | hi, how do I get old fashioned scroll widgets to come back? I've upgraded to ubuntu 11 and now I can't see where to scroll until I mouse over things | 12:40 |

| raidgh0st | simulation: remove the write rights to the file:P | 12:41 |
| Pici | shomon: remove the overlay-scrollbar package and then relogin. | 12:41 |
| shomon | thanks Pici - or is there a way to at least make it more usable? like more responsive to mouse movement? | 12:41 |
| simulation | raidgh0st: :)) thats right but is there any legal way for it ? setting etc ? | 12:42 |
| simulation | :) | 12:42 |
| Pici | shomon: I'm not aware of any configuration that can be easily tweaked. | 12:42 |
| wind | simulation: I think you either set up the name server correctly in the network manager, or stop using it and resolv.conf is left in peace (or updated by i.e. dhclient) | 12:42 |
| shomon | ok thanks :) | 12:42 |
| simulation | if i change permissions it will still try to overwrite .) | 12:42 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:32 |

| Arizona_Bay | webnet I have 10.04 and 11.10 . I really like 10.04 but no so much 11.10 | 15:33 |
| Arizona_Bay | webnet is 10.10 more user friendly then 10.04? | 15:34 |
| us | I have also browsed the forums and still have no resolution | 15:34 |
| Arizona_Bay | ubottu i know what you mean but like from users view point, people who dont program for a living id like to know their opinion | 15:34 |
| ubottu | Arizona_Bay: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:34 |

| Neutrosider | Hello. is it possible to make grub execute a bash file? | 15:35 |
| jost | i've got the following C-Program: http://pastebin.com/fNTzJUqT . It prints out the current idle time of the system in ms and works fine when called from the command line or from a script from the command line. However if that same script is executed as upstart job, a segfault occurs. Any hints? | 15:35 |
| jrib | jost: is it running before X starts? | 15:36 |
| jost | maybe - which runlevel does x start in? | 15:36 |
| Arizona_Bay | why did they remove the desktop button in ubuntu 11.10 lol ill try to learn a shortcut for that | 15:36 |
| jrib | jost: shouldn't really think in terms of runlevels anymore with upstarct | 15:36 |
| webnet | Arizona_Bay, yeah i cant stand 11.10 or 11.04 not because they are bad but because they have terrible interfaces... | 15:36 |
| MonkeyDust | not again... | 15:37 |
| webnet | you either get bloatware unity or buggy A** gnome 3 haha | 15:37 |
| inggik | hello everybody :) | 15:37 |
| webnet | hi inggik | 15:37 |
| Arizona_Bay | webnet ... ur right... like the side bar isnt very practical how it dissapears.. i cant bring it whenever i want . sometimes i have to hover over the orange button a good couple of seconds to get it back | 15:37 |
| Neutrosider | webnet, who uses unity on 11.04? everyne i know uses gnome2 on 11.04 | 15:37 |
| Neosano | hmmm, they say that it is possible to write on cds with this marker http://www.cultpens.com/acatalog/Faber-Castell-Multimark-1525-Permanent-Marker-Medium.html can I believe them? I heard that permanent markers can harm cds | 15:37 |
| Pici | !ot | Neosano | 15:38 |

| webnet | Neutrosider, the people who dont know any better | 15:38 |
| inggik | can i get RDp setup on 11.10 | 15:38 |
| inggik | sorry for noob question | 15:38 |
| webnet | :D | 15:38 |
| MonkeyDust | inggik please say 'beginner', not 'noob' | 15:38 |
| Neutrosider | does anyone know how to make grub entrys to execute bash scripts? | 15:39 |
| inggik | thanks for the correction MonkeyDust | 15:39 |
| jrib | Neutrosider: what do you want to accomplish? | 15:39 |
| Neutrosider | jrib, i have an 11.04 boot script and i want to have 2 entries. one booting with nvidia driver, the other one with nouveau. so i thought i make a bash srkip that copys a yorg.conf file i made before | 15:40 |
| Neutrosider | *11.04 boot stick | 15:41 |
| webnet | Neutrosider & Arizona_Bay here is what i am thinking of doing. taking the 11.04 1nd 11.10 and leaving them the same, just stripping all interface from it and loading on Gnome2. have it be like kubuntu or xubuntu be like gubuntu or something. lol. | 15:41 |
| Neutrosider | *xorg.conf | 15:41 |
| inggik | I have virtual box and DSL installed in there, so I wanna remote my main desktop (ubuntu), how do i get that :D | 15:41 |
| jrib | Neutrosider: if you look at the gdm and lightdm init scripts, they check the kernel line for the word "text". You could do something like that | 15:41 |
| Neutrosider | webnet, 11.04 has gonme2 preinstalled. no need to change anything | 15:42 |
| Neutrosider | jrib, i have no clue about the gdm boot script, where can i find it? and how would it recognize what driver i want to use? | 15:42 |
| Arizona_Bay | webnet wooow i didnt even know u could do that | 15:42 |
| webnet | Neutrosider, sweet. i thaough both had gnome 3. cool. well im just thinking of doing it for future releases. perhaps fork gnome 2 and continue to dev it and lay it onto future ubuntu versions. I personally dont like gnome 3 either. they about screwed up everything i liked about 2 | 15:43 |
| Arizona_Bay | why is Linux Mint the best for laptops? | 15:44 |
| jrib | Neutrosider: I don't have time to walk you through it at the moment, sorry. If you read and understand how the lightdm init script (lightdm is default so just read that) stops itself from starting by checking if "text" was passed on the kernel line in grub, you should see how you can accomplish what you asked | 15:44 |
| Arizona_Bay | Ive got 10.04 on my laptop and im loving it | 15:44 |
| endzYme | anyone have any production experience with automating virtual environments? | 15:44 |
| jrib | Neutrosider: I assume you can just pass your own words, like "usenvidia" or whatever | 15:45 |
| webnet | Arizona_Bay, mint isnt necessarily... it all depends on what you are looking for in a distro that decides which is pest for a putpose. | 15:45 |
| Neutrosider | jrib, im using 11.04 at the boot stick im talking about, so its gdm, not lightdm, but thanks ^^ | 15:45 |
| webnet | *puropse | 15:45 |
| Arizona_Bay | webnet :P regular usage and no bugs or glitches. this is what i look for | 15:45 |
| Arizona_Bay | but i read somewhere that mint is the best and i was wondering why | 15:45 |
| Pici | Arizona_Bay: Ask them. We do not support Mint in this channel. | 15:46 |
| === Taftse is now known as Taftse|Train | ||
| Arizona_Bay | Pici ohhhhhhh trueee this is ubuntu not linux o.o | 15:46 |
| webnet | then i would always recommend that you stay at least 1 version behind the release. they are on 11.10 so use 11.04 then when 12.04 comes out move up to 11.10 so that by then most of the bugs are worked out :) | 15:46 |
| webnet | Arizona_Bay, ^^ | 15:46 |
| Arizona_Bay | people use your names interchangeably that at the end in ur head Ubuntu = Linux | 15:47 |

| tp43 | I'm thinking 10 is faster than 11 | 15:53 |
| jrib | jost: don't know then | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | tp43 depends on the window manager, i guess | 15:53 |

| tp43 | is it easy to install Gnome 3? | 15:53 |
| jrib | !gnome3 | tp43 | 15:53 |
| ubottu | tp43: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 15:53 |
| llutz | sudipta: disable their start-scripts in /etc/init(.d) | 15:53 |
| tp43 | jrib, oh, I thought Unity was using gtk2 | 15:54 |
| htmlinprogress | p3 256 mb laptop need it for only web browsing , what os do i need? | 15:54 |
| llutz | sudipta: you might use tools like sysv-rc-conf to do that | 15:54 |
| salty | ubuntu | 15:54 |
| jrib | sudipta: read the scripts to see if there is some configuration file they check. If not, then disable the script (see http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ for upstart scripts and use sysv-rc-conf if the service is not an upstart script) | 15:55 |
| htmlinprogress | salty, well? | 15:55 |

| tp43 | salty, can you play mkv? I can play some but I download a 3gig one, and its choppy | 15:57 |
| salty | yes, tp43 i use vlc | 15:58 |

| endzYme | unless you're accessing apache | 16:09 |
| endzYme | depending on what you're doing | 16:09 |
| coreyo | Exxon, the navigation was broken last month, but the latest ubuntu docs always provide a direct link | 16:10 |
| endzYme | Danielpk: in example; adding a manual host entry will say test.com actually resolves to 10.x.x.x instead of using dns to find it. If the server accepts connections ont he ipi it should owrk fine | 16:10 |

| MegaDavor | I told him how to do that and that doesn't solve the problem. | 17:06 |
| tp43 | edgarville, thats what I thought, but when I go accessories, about gnome, it shows gnome 2.31 | 17:07 |

| Amon-Ra | exxen my pc shuttes down and it doesnt open now.. | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | tp43: can you run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; dpkg -l | grep gnome | pastebinit what is output? | 17:09 |
| ManDay | llutz: So that means my cache is not correct, right? | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | junka: there is no netbook remix now | 17:09 |
| junka | What? | 17:09 |
| junka | But I downloaded it. | 17:09 |
| llutz | ManDay: as i said: if there is no newer candidate, theres nothing to upgrade. so you have to findout WHY there are no updates available | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | junka: did you MD5 test the ISO you put on the USB device? | 17:09 |
| junka | no this always happens when I download any linux ISO, it just comes up with SYSLINUX on my netbook. ANY linux iso. | 17:10 |
| ManDay | llutz: But there SHOULD be an newer candidate than 2.6.32.33.39 right?! | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | junka: netbook remix was last in Lucid, did you download lucid|10.04? | 17:10 |
| junka | My friend showed me this quick fix for it before but I don't remember what it was. | 17:10 |
| junka | I just need to get the SYSLINUX to go away and just boot the OS. | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | junka: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 17:10 |
| varikonniemi | is there some ppa for the latest kernel? | 17:10 |
| Ed_Money | what program can i use to join a Windows Network via VPN? | 17:11 |

| ActionParsnip | varikonniemi: there is but its not supported here if you get issues | 17:11 |

| ActionParsnip | varikonniemi: sure, hold shift at boot as usual | 17:11 |
| varikonniemi | yes | 17:11 |
| llutz | ManDay: it seem to be. did you do what ActionParsnip pasted? | 17:11 |
| ManDay | llutz: Not yet, I'd rather find out the problem and solve it than run a general wipe | 17:12 |

| jpmh | I have a UPS plugged in and dmesg shows that the USB interface has been detected - is there a command line way to look at the status - I assumed acpi would show info but it does not | 17:50 |
| |Anthony| | random question, i know | 17:50 |
| theadmin | htmlinprogress: KDE, GNOME, XFCE, LXDE, Openbox, i3, dwm, awesome, wmfs -- something like this. | 17:50 |
| theadmin | |Anthony|: Um, as many as one wants, but there can be only 4 primary partitions (not that it's really a limit, but) | 17:50 |
| ManDay | theadmin: KDE surely isnt lighter | 17:50 |
| murfie | jpmh: install upsmon | 17:50 |
| BusyBox | ManDay, My Disc Drive came from school, the teachers give me this HDD and i have to use this in school and in my house too | 17:50 |

| ManDay | theadmin: Just say "it" | 17:51 |
| BusyBox | ManDay, you understand me? | 17:51 |
| |Anthony| | theadmin, i know that 4 primary is a limit, but with extended partitioning is there a limit? And are extended partitions bootable? | 17:52 |
| theadmin | ManDay: Huh? | 17:52 |
| ManDay | BusyBox: a little | 17:52 |
| BusyBox | xd | 17:52 |
| theadmin | brightspark: Oh I totally forgot about enlightenment, my bad :D Not sure honestly | 17:52 |
| theadmin | |Anthony|: Yes and I don't think there is a limit | 17:52 |
| brightspark | theadmin, no sweat. just curious | 17:52 |
| |Anthony| | oh very well | 17:52 |
| LinuxNoob | So how can I partition the HDD | 17:52 |
| htmlinprogress | ok , thanks ,, theadmin ,, but what about the "swirl" of flavored guis? like gnome openbox ? | 17:53 |
| cristian_c | theadmin, What should I do to bypass the management of numerical codes by udev? | 17:53 |
| theadmin | LinuxNoob: gparted, fdisk... | 17:53 |
| BusyBox | ManDay, you asked me how I installed my Ubuntu system. And my answer is: The ubuntu system was installed for my teachers, I use this hard drive in my school and in my house too. | 17:53 |
| theadmin | cristian_c: Wow, um, no freaking idea, sorry | 17:53 |
| cconstantine | Everytime I open gnome-terminal the it has a menu-bar. I've changed the prefs to not do that, but I have to 'enable' then disable it to make it go away. is anyone else having this problem? | 17:53 |
| theadmin | htmlinprogress: "swirl"? Sorry, um, EMFDYSI? | 17:53 |
| |Anthony| | i'm about to load up a hdd and i'd like to leave room for testing out other os's | 17:53 |
| ManDay | BusyBox: Hm, it's really hard to to work with these info | 17:53 |
| |Anthony| | think i'll take a sneak peak at win8 | 17:54 |
| |Anthony| | 0.o | 17:54 |
| ManDay | BusyBox: does it work on another computer | 17:54 |
| ManDay | |Anthony| godspeed | 17:54 |
| theadmin | |Anthony|: Don't, I tried, IE won't even start, had to ftp to releases.mozilla.org... | 17:54 |
| jpmh | murfie: I will - ty | 17:54 |
| BusyBox | are you asking me if my hard drive can run correctly in another computer? | 17:54 |
| BusyBox | i don't tried it yet | 17:54 |
| BusyBox | because i go to school tomorrow | 17:55 |
| cristian_c | theadmin, what is the default handler of the numerical codes of the keys in ubuntu? | 17:55 |
| ManDay | BusyBox: Clearly, your install is messed up | 17:55 |
| wenko | anyone know how I can tell an ubuntu machine to recongnise a new NIC? | 17:55 |
| theadmin | cristian_c: Uhhh... I beleive X handles those if you are running it | 17:55 |
| |Anthony| | lmao theadmin | 17:55 |
| |Anthony| | ty ManDay | 17:55 |
| ManDay | BusyBox: Could be everything. Perhaps someone can walk you through but I guess your best option is a fresh install | 17:55 |
| tp43 | with all the excitement with unity and gnome 3, I am back to xfce | 17:55 |
| BusyBox | but before i can run the hard drive in a school and in my house | 17:55 |

| tp43 | theadmin, explain more please? | 17:57 |
| ManDay | BusyBox: then you have no luck with me :-/ | 17:57 |

| BusyBox | hehe | 17:57 |
| BusyBox | np ManDay , good day, bb | 17:57 |
| tp43 | theadmin, how to login to compiz? | 17:58 |

| jost | Sry to bother you again with that topic, but is there a way to find out what environment variables are used by some command? I'm especially interested in xprintidle | 18:16 |
| Gounst_ | How do you use ubiquity to install a Linux OS? I have the .iso file in my Home folder... | 18:16 |
| xrdodrx | Gounst_, your question makes no sense :< You can burn the iso to a disk and if it uses Ubiquity as its installer then it will install using Ubiquity | 18:17 |
| xrdodrx | What distribution is it? | 18:18 |

| xrdodrx | what does ubiquity have to do with that | 18:18 |
| ssdrd | nevermind, I found the answer in https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/mysql.html Is it possible to have multiple bind-addresses in Mysql's config file? | 18:18 |
| Gounst_ | I don't know someone told me to "use ubiquity" to install ubuntu | 18:18 |
| oCean | ssdrd: edit /etc/mysql/my.conf, find the bind-address, which is default set to 127.0.0.1 | 18:18 |
| oCean | yeah, that | 18:18 |
| Gounst_ | no idea what that means.. | 18:19 |
| Gounst_ | but I just want to get rid of this stupid SYSLINUX message when I boot my netbook so I can install UBUNTU in one peace! | 18:19 |
| Gounst_ | It just hangs there when I boot the USB..lol wtf? | 18:19 |
| xrdodrx | What's the message? | 18:19 |

| Gounst_ | Looked on google, many forums said to change "syslinux.cfg" and edit the string "ui" and delete it. Did so, but I still got the SYSLINUX message............... | 18:21 |
| ManDay | and you dont seem to have mountded dev either llutz | 18:22 |
| BluesKaj | Gounst_, is that where the cd stalls, then you wait til the ubuntu options page appears | 18:22 |
| llutz | ManDay: right | 18:22 |
| ManDay | weird... ok, let me try without dev | 18:22 |
| Gounst_ | BluesKaj, yes that's where the usb stalls, and the ubuntu options page never appears. | 18:22 |
| Gounst_ | it just stays stuck on the SYSLINUX screen. | 18:22 |
| llutz | ManDay: dev should be important for this | 18:23 |

| gio74 | michel telo' | 18:25 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: are you doing this from ubuntu or windows | 18:26 |
| Gounst_ | I did the USB creators in windows | 18:26 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: prepairing the usb stick that is | 18:26 |
| Gounst_ | I also did one from my friends Ubuntu with a disk creator, but that didn't work. Still got the SYSLINUX message. | 18:26 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: did you verify the iso? | 18:27 |
| Gounst_ | Yeah | 18:27 |
| Gounst_ | MD5checksum'd, it's also the one from the main ubuntu page | 18:27 |
| ManDay | llutz: Crap, seems like I can't reproduce it once it has succesfully fetched the lists | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | BlueEagle, I'm not much on usb installs , since I have no experience with them , I'm guessing he didn't prepare the usb correctly | 18:27 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: and which version are you trying to install | 18:27 |
| Gounst_ | 11.04 | 18:27 |
| Gounst_ | It's my feeling I need a different version of syslinux attached to the USB installer, no idea what version I need though. | 18:28 |

| ZeroSun | Dammit! XD what is the exit command? | 18:28 |
| ManDay | llutz: I guess it's the cp -a - that's about the only thing I haven't changed | 18:28 |
| Gounst_ | Oh I'm sorry, it's 11.10, not 11.04 | 18:28 |
| Mgamerz | I'd use super grub2 disk but I don't have any flash drives that are small and unused, and for some reason my laptop hates booting linux from CD (but it works with windows fine) | 18:28 |

| ManDay | llutz: ActionParsnip : I found the problem: It seems to be that I did not extract the sqashfs by cp -a | 18:36 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: just trying to think of all the bases here... have you tried another usb port if available | 18:36 |
| BluesKaj | zoidfarb, have you updated/upgraded from the repos lately ? | 18:36 |

| zoidfarb | BluesKaj, is there maybe a backport repo I could use? | 18:38 |
| ManDay | llutz: Permission problem, though? Does apt-get drop priviledges? Otherwise I wouldn't see how permissions were a problem, since I am root. | 18:38 |
| kdcisit | Gounst: have you updated the BIOS on the netbook? | 18:38 |
| ManDay | llutz: If you are fancy, you can try for yourself | 18:38 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: stick around if you can, checking a few things | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj | zoidfarb, open a terminal and run , sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:38 |

| Gounst_ | so what will this do? | 18:41 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: it will just remove the U3 partition off the drive. it contains scandisk tools.. i never used them so i just remeoved, but if you do use them, maybe just try with a non sandisc usb | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | people still use u3, wow | 18:42 |
| Gounst_ | how does this program know which USB to format? | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Gounst_: i'd use dd on the raw device to wipe it from start to finish with zeros | 18:43 |
| zoidfarb | BluesKaj: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 18:43 |
| Gounst_ | it doens't ask me to choose which device I want to format. What if it formats my HDD? | 18:43 |
| zoidfarb | BluesKaj, I've already updated earlier this morning | 18:43 |
| geoffmcc | ActionParsnip: he on windows. trying to install but fails on syslinux screen... u3 could be a cause right | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | geoffmcc: gotcha | 18:43 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: its been a while, so to be safe just make sure no other usb drives are attached | 18:44 |
| Gounst_ | will it wipe my HDD? | 18:44 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: just the usb stick | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Gounst_: the guys in ##windows may know a disk scrubbing app | 18:44 |
| g0th | hi | 18:45 |
| Gounst_ | all right removed U3 | 18:45 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: yea this is sandisk offical way to remove it, but if your not comphy with that tool, then prob another way | 18:45 |
| geoffmcc | Gounst_: try again... please let me know | 18:45 |
| Gounst_ | well I did it, I'm assuming it removed it. | 18:45 |

| oliverp | My Ubuntu has two NICs. One is connected directly to the internet (IP 83.22.128...) and the other one is connected to the local network (IP 192.168...). Both NICs can reach the internet; one directly and the other one through my dhcp router. For some reasons, when I browse the internet on my ubuntu box, it uses the NIC that is plugged to the LAN. Can I somehow prioritize the NICs? Or force ubuntu to always use the NIC | 18:51 |

| kyan | Hello. I plugged my external hard drive into a Mac. It was FAT32 formatted. After working with it and then remounting it, it was empty (instead of containing the data it should have). I'm not normally a Mac user. How can I fix this???? | 20:51 |
| hhh81 | you have a direct access to tpb come on | 20:51 |
| ikonia | kyan: try ##apple for mac support | 20:51 |
| MonkeyDust | kyan i guess you better ask that in a mac channel | 20:51 |
| llutz | kyan: no hidden folders on that drive? | 20:52 |
| kyan | ok, thanks. | 20:52 |
| ikonia | hhh81: this is your final warning. Do NOT ask again | 20:52 |
| kyan | llutz: no. All gone. | 20:52 |
| kyan | MonkeyDust, ikonia: ok, thanks. | 20:52 |
| MonkeyDust | hhh81 piratebay is illegal | 20:52 |
| MahaVishnu | no its not, but its offtopic here | 20:52 |
| kyan | I was looking at it in TestDisk through Ubuntu is why I asked here :-D | 20:53 |
| brightspark | kyan, if you use it in the mac does it still appear empty, or only to ubuntu? | 20:53 |
| kyan | Apparently I'm banned from ##apple. | 20:53 |
| kyan | Why would that be? | 20:53 |
| omido | i've downloaded ATI Propritary Graphics driver from AMD's website which is a .run file. how can i install it ? | 20:53 |

| automagic | Not really | 21:01 |

| BrewNo | why do i keep getting Segmentation fault/Segmentation fault reading... 0% when using apt-get or aptitude install? | 21:01 |
| youlysses | Hey guys I'm helping a friend install ubuntu on a HP-Mini-210-3000 and evidentially it keeps kernel panicing , for no aparent reasons. Possible explinations? | 21:02 |
| Pici | automagic: Depending on what you're trying to do with them, there are a number of channels where that would be more on-topic. | 21:02 |
| automagic | I'm writing a webcrawler and I can't find any request header where I could put some contact information in case the crawler doesn't behave well. Do you know if such a header exists? | 21:02 |
| Pici | !alis | automagic this might help | 21:02 |
| ubottu | automagic this might help: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 21:02 |

| alex__ | hello | 21:05 |
| sokak | hello everyone | 21:05 |
| sokak | i have a trivial question, there is a quick and dirty shell way to see whats making my hdd spin? | 21:06 |
| sln45_ | I have a fresh install of oneiric and even though I have both unity-lens-applications and unity-lens-files neither are in my toolbar. How can I put them there? | 21:07 |
| MeQuerSat | sokak: I'd check "top" for cpu usage (might coincide with hdd access) | 21:07 |
| sokak | MeQuerSat, i tried that yet, sometimes happens i see my hdd overspin for brief period. Making tracker sleep oftens fix it, some other times it continues for few minutes, but the trackerd is quiet. I was just curious. | 21:09 |
| kyan | I'm not hearing anything on ##apple… any other channels to try? | 21:09 |
| sokak | MeQuerSat, im just hungry for shell tricks :) | 21:10 |
| xxiao | anyone here tried scst fcoe on ubuntu | 21:10 |
| llutz | !info atsar |sokak this might help | 21:10 |
| ubottu | sokak this might help: atsar (source: atsar): system activity reporter. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7-2 (oneiric), package size 39 kB, installed size 176 kB | 21:10 |
| sokak | llutz, ubottu, thank you both, im going to see | 21:11 |
| Gentoo64 | sokak, what do you mean make it spin? as in activity, or spin down / up ? | 21:12 |
| sokak | Gentoo64, activity :) I guess is normal and legit activity, but checking is fun | 21:12 |
| Gentoo64 | theres a prog called iotop | 21:12 |
| Gentoo64 | that will show io activity | 21:12 |
| Gentoo64 | theres a top for everything :) | 21:13 |
| Timmmm | Hi, where can I put .desktop files in my user directory so they show up in the unity menu? | 21:13 |
| sokak | kudos Gentoo64, that seems what i was looking for :D | 21:14 |
| Gentoo64 | Timmmm, im not sure. maybe local/share/applications | 21:14 |
| MeQuerSat | thanks Gentoo64 | 21:14 |
| Mert | Hello! | 21:14 |
| Timmmm | Gentoo64: Thanks, I'll try it. | 21:15 |
| Gentoo64 | MeQuerSat, huh? | 21:15 |
| MeQuerSat | iotop suggestion ;) | 21:15 |
| Mert | I have a question: I have installed Xubuntu on Windows 7 and I installes here Aircrack-ng too. | 21:15 |
| wamty | anybody know a good way to change mouse focus behavior in unity? | 21:15 |
| Mert | Did anonyone can help me how I can use it? | 21:15 |
| sokak | Gentoo64, that is going to fix a lot of things for me. I can log both top and iotop and check what makes my box hardfreeze sometimes ^^ | 21:16 |
| Gentoo64 | Mert, try google or youtube | 21:16 |
| Gentoo64 | sokak, leave tail -g /var/log/messages on too | 21:16 |
| Gentoo64 | tail -f* | 21:16 |
| sokak | :) | 21:16 |
| Gentoo64 | or /var/log/kern.log | 21:16 |
| wamty | anyonee? | 21:16 |
| wamty | ? | 21:16 |
| sokak | Gentoo64, i guess i know yet whats freezing me. I tried on a partition the last version of ubuntu (since im sticking to maverick) so i guess there is something going fuzzy in Maverick kernel+nvidia module, since when all freezes happens either that electricsheep is running or i just leave browsers open with heavy flash stuff going | 21:18 |
| sokak | (ah, in oneiric is not happening ofc) | 21:18 |
| Gentoo64 | hard to say | 21:18 |
| sokak | Im just too lazy to switch :| | 21:19 |
| Gentoo64 | does the entire system proper freeze> | 21:19 |
| Gentoo64 | or just the keyboard | 21:19 |
| sokak | total deadlock - no way to summon a terminal, no ssh access, no mouse, just a happy green screen, neither reisub works | 21:20 |
| Gentoo64 | plain green screen? | 21:20 |
| Neosano | ctrl+alt+f2 ? | 21:20 |
| sokak | sometimes black - but sometimes when electric sheep starts i have greenflakes | 21:21 |
| === mike is now known as Guest422 | ||
| Gentoo64 | well if you can see it, leave the /var/log open in a terminal | 21:21 |
| Gentoo64 | sounds like nvidia | 21:21 |
| === Xano_ is now known as Xano | ||
| Gentoo64 | try it with noubeau maybe | 21:21 |
| sokak | yeah, i had an heartache thinking my 570 was burnt | 21:21 |
| Gentoo64 | nouveau | 21:22 |
| sokak | tried on another box - runs smoothly | 21:22 |
| Gentoo64 | nah its probbly just a driver thing. impossible for me to say though | 21:22 |
| Gentoo64 | could be anything | 21:22 |
| jackl98 | please could help me, i have disabled my logon password in Ubuntu 11.10 and now i cant chnage it again or download new software!!!! | 21:22 |
| sokak | i guess youre right - i just have a crawl adsl, a whole update will take a couple of days -.- | 21:22 |
| wamty | anybody know a good way to change mouse focus behavior in unity? | 21:23 |
| sokak | Gentoo64, when ill feel like unity or gnome 3, prolly ill update from scratch and get rid of those hangs | 21:23 |
| conntrack | haha | 21:24 |

| dr_willis | Ed_Money: i THINK you can dd the iso to the flash... | 21:33 |
| tp43 | Ed_Money, there are some mstools, you might need to make dosfs | 21:33 |

| raven | 11.10 xfce - openbve not running with messages filename not known and something else. any ideas? | 21:35 |
| tp43 | but thing is, xfce is running slow in 1 respect I noticed, and I think it is due to unity or gnome 3, namely when I right click the desktop, there is a delay before the menu shows up | 21:35 |

| urlin2u | Ed_Money, with gparted make the partition a ntfs and the label it as boot, right click the iso and use the archive manager to exstract to it. | 21:39 |
| DeltaEpsilon | dr_willis, the system is still running... | 21:40 |
| Ed_Money | urlin2u: thanks, ill try that | 21:40 |

| mkanyicy | jtreminio: i think you have to do a 'sudo apt-get install multiarch-support' first | 21:51 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, and then 'sudo apt-get install skype:i386' | 21:52 |

| BrewNo | hey, does anyone know? | 21:53 |
| BrewNo | why do i keep getting Segmentation fault/Segmentation fault reading... 0% when using apt-get or aptitude install? [complete ubuntu noob] | 21:53 |
| jtreminio | mkanyicy, same output: http://pastebin.com/We1smVtk | 21:53 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, why are you installing libqtdbus4-perl directly? | 21:54 |
| jtreminio | mkanyicy, I had a bad repo, docky dev, that was messing up my apt. I couldn't install anything, so had to remove that repo, and update, which removed a bunch of programs. Now I'm here | 21:54 |
| BrewNo | wait, nvm, new error: FATAL -> Failed to fork. | 21:54 |
| sanjayb | BrewNo: this is when you are trying apt-get install on a particular package, or any package you try to install? | 21:55 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, but yet still, you rather re-install the apps that need the libraries and let those app installs be the ones that pull the libraries | 21:56 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, instead of installing libraries directly | 21:57 |
| BrewNo | sanjayb, only tried one | 21:57 |
| BrewNo | i'll try another | 21:57 |
| |Anthony| | i'm planning a multi-boot setup (various versions of ubuntu, various windows versions, and possibly some other *nix variants) and am now considering partition management. Is it recommended to separate /boot /usr /var /tmp and the like? and is it possible for any of the os's to share some partitions (/tmp or /boot even)? | 21:57 |
| jtreminio | mkanyicy, I rebooted and my Unity 3D option is gone :\ | 21:57 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, anyway, back to the question at hand, is your problem just skype or something else as well? | 21:57 |
| jtreminio | mkanyicy, so I'm thinking a bunch of necessary things were removed. | 21:57 |
| Neosano | jtreminio, be happy :D :D | 21:57 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, ok i get you | 21:57 |
| CharminTheMoose | hey all, I'm running ubuntu 11.04 and suddenly my development files seem to have changed, to the point where I can't compile any x code without it spewing warnings, where previously there were none, and in some cases, errors. What could've changed on my system? | 21:57 |
| BrewNo | sanjayb, i tried sudo apt-get upgrade, got the same fatal error | 21:58 |
| jtreminio | mkanyicy, well, flash was removed, but I've reinstalled that correctly. Unit 3D is gone... and skype as well. I'm sure other things but i haven't noticed. | 21:58 |
| mkanyicy | jtlap, it is more serious than I thought | 21:58 |
| CharminTheMoose | and I'm talking about the usr/include headers | 21:58 |
| jtreminio | Neosano, I prefer 2D but I did notice 3D was gone. | 21:58 |
| jtlap | ?? | 21:58 |
| sanjayb | BrewNo: can you try 'sudo apt-get update' and do you get any errors? | 21:59 |
| Jordan_U | |Anthony|: I would highly recommend against separating partitions, and don't try to share /boot/. | 21:59 |
| BrewNo | update works fine sanjayb | 21:59 |
| BrewNo | 52 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 2 nicht aktualisiert. | 21:59 |
| BrewNo | FATAL -> Failed to fork. | 21:59 |
| BrewNo | ^ that's what i get from upgrade | 21:59 |
| BrewNo | (yes, it's in german, i still need to find a way to change that) | 22:00 |
| sanjayb | BrewNo: wow, hm. ubuntu what version? | 22:00 |
| BrewNo | sanjayb 10.04 minimal 32 bit | 22:00 |
| jtreminio | mkanyicy, I figured I probably broke the system somehow. I don't want to format and start from scratch, but if that's my only option I'm prepared. | 22:00 |
| sanjayb | BrewNo: ah, how much RAM do you have, and, have you allocated swap space? | 22:01 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, Im not sure maybe some more clued up folks here know but there should be some application 'meta' that you should try to reinstall which represents the unity desktop | 22:02 |
| BrewNo | 256mb ram and 256mb swap i think | 22:02 |
| CharminTheMoose | ahh, scratch that, turns out there was an uncommented character at the start of the c file. | 22:02 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, back in the day I would say do 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop' | 22:02 |
| |Anthony| | Jordan_U, not even for /home or /tmp | 22:02 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, now I dont know what is the equivalent of that | 22:03 |
| jtreminio | mkanyicy, psychocats says it's install ubuntu-desktop | 22:03 |
| sanjayb | BrewNo: hm - it maybe a memory issue .. can you paste the output of 'free -m' ? | 22:03 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, oh, that did not work either? :0 | 22:03 |
| jtreminio | mkanyicy, haha: ubuntu-desktop : Depends: unity but it is not going to be installed | 22:03 |
| === n970873_ is now known as jellow | ||
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, at least that is promising | 22:04 |
| jtreminio | unity : Depends: libglib2.0-bin | 22:04 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, now get your repositories up | 22:04 |
| sanjayb | BrewNo: my guess is there's a LOT of updates if its the first time you're running it on a 10.04 install, and somethings causing it to run out of ram .. if possible, increase swap space.. can you install packages individually ? | 22:04 |
| jtreminio | sudo apt-get update works fine. | 22:04 |
| sanjayb | BrewNo: like 'sudo apt-get install cowsay' ? | 22:04 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, main restricted universe multiverse partner etcetera | 22:05 |
| mkanyicy | jtreminio, yes but if it saying an app is not gonna be installed it means that you have not enabled all the needed repos | 22:05 |
| jtreminio | gotcha | 22:06 |
| jtreminio | hey I don't seem to have same repos >=[ | 22:07 |

| KaiSforza | i'm trying to uninstall the fglrx drivers on my machine, and I installed them using the ATI package on their website. Does anyone know how to do this? | 22:08 |
| vristan | KaiSforza: What ubuntu version do you have? | 22:09 |
| KaiSforza | vristan I am using linux mint 12, so it is based on 11.10. thought i'd ask here. | 22:09 |
| yacc | Any idea what could make the X11 display flicker under CPU load (10.04LTS, nouveau driver, Phenom II 945)? | 22:10 |
| Monotoko | hmmm... is it possible to get the right click menu that lets me move a window to another workspace while maximized in 11.10? | 22:11 |
| vristan | KaiSforza: have you tried removing "--purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx* " from the command line? | 22:11 |
| Monotoko | it works when it's not maximized... it just seems to not appear when it is | 22:11 |

| KaiSforza | vristan, no...pardon me, but i'm not terribly good with the command line yet. | 22:12 |

| KaiSforza | ok. | 22:15 |
| Monotoko | DarkStar1, no they ain't... google "how to set up SSH keys ubuntu" | 22:15 |

| MahaVishnu | are you trying to run an ssh server on that machine ? | 22:16 |
| vristan | KaiSforza: If you are thinking about reinstalling, you should not worry about trying out the command. They should work fine with copy and paste, but I can't guarantee it 100%. | 22:16 |

| MahaVishnu | DarkStar1$ ethtool | 22:23 |
| DarkStar1 | MahaVishnu: forgot the remote distro is CentOS | 22:24 |
| vristan | Antonis: What errors are you getting? Have you tried $chmod 755 -R to your ~/www folder? | 22:24 |
| MahaVishnu | DarkStar1$ ah. see if it's ethtool if you want to look at low level nic details | 22:24 |
| MahaVishnu | pretty common for linux | 22:25 |
| Antonis | vristan, that's what I was asking (maybe didn't explain well) is it 755? let me check | 22:25 |
| DarkStar1 | MahaVishnu: Nope. no ethtool | 22:25 |
| MahaVishnu | DarkStar1$ oh well. youll figure it out | 22:25 |
| Antonis | vristan, it still says it can't create the config file and that I have to create it myself :\ | 22:26 |
| MahaVishnu | DarkStar1$ btw you *can* use ethtool for centos | 22:27 |
| vristan | Antonis: Try $ sudo chmod 775 -R ~/www , if not try 777 (which is insecure but just for testing purpose). | 22:28 |

| Antonis | vristan, 777 worked | 22:29 |
| Antonis | but it shouldn't be 777 :\ | 22:30 |

| lake | TTilus: thanks for the info. i will try hard to make it work for me. | 22:31 |
| Antonis | vristan, in theory it would but what if I want to make changes to files (through wordpress) like themes etc. | 22:31 |
| Antonis | and why do I have to change permission to 777 when I have the dir in my home dir? | 22:32 |
| jakr | vristan: command not found | 22:32 |
| ubuntu_mint | ubuntu or mint, to be or not to be, what will you be ? | 22:32 |
| vristan | Antonis: I am not a wordpress expert, but I am am assuming that it needed 777 to create the config file. I believe you should still be able to change files. | 22:33 |
| Nach0z | lol. | 22:33 |
| vristan | Antonis: If not google for wordpress permissions and check what folders/files need special permissions to be modified. | 22:34 |
| Antonis | vristan, will do thank you =) | 22:34 |
| vristan | jakr: you have to make sure you got the program installed and you are using the correct name. | 22:34 |
| MahaVishnu | Antonis$ you can write to your own home dir ? | 22:34 |
| vristan | Antonis: You bet. | 22:34 |

| Antonis | MahaVishnu, yes | 22:36 |

| MahaVishnu | Antonis$ but you cannot save files from wordpress ? | 22:36 |
| vristan | jakr: /usr/local/src | 22:37 |
| somsip | Antonis: for wordpress you need to have the root wordpress folder owned by the user that runs the apache server, usualy www-data | 22:37 |
| somsip | Antonis: so chmod -R www-data:ubuntu wordpress | 22:37 |
| Antonis | somsip, only for installation or throughout the use of it? | 22:37 |
| somsip | Antonis: for use - it's a bit weird like that | 22:38 |
| somsip | An you make it safe by changing all dirs to 770 and all files to 660 | 22:38 |
| Antonis | hod do I add the user antonis to the group www-data as well ? | 22:38 |
| somsip | Antonis: usermod -a -G www-data antonis | 22:38 |

| aj00200 | is it possible to download a copy of intrid.img somehwere? My version seems to have broken during the last kernel upgrade. | 22:40 |
| somsip | Antonis: just for wordpress. You can leave /var/www as root:www-data and 770 which is safe enough | 22:41 |

| perezd | hey, does anyone have any pointers for upgrading the version of stop-start-daemon installed in ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 22:41 |
| perezd | I really want log file support | 22:41 |
| brightspark | meerkats, that is likely to depend on the firmware for the scanner. Can you initiate a scan from the command line? | 22:41 |
| meerkats | brightspark, I have never done that | 22:42 |
| Antonis | somsip, now it says forbidden when I try to access it :P | 22:42 |
| somsip | Antonis: access through web browser? Tell me what perms you have on there now | 22:43 |
| brightspark | meerkats, if the scanner doesn't let you manually initiate a single scan, you will probably be unable to make it scan on a schedule. | 22:43 |
| Antonis | somsip, ~/www is 770 , and files and folders according to the two commands you gave me. I also added my user (antonis) to www-data as you told me | 22:44 |
| meerkats | brightspark, not everything is lost, xsane shows a "number to scan" option, there must be something that allows the user to specify the time in between each scanning | 22:44 |
| meerkats | brightspark, "number of pages to scan" | 22:44 |
| somsip | Antonis: I didn't tell you to add your user to www-data - you asked how to do that. But it should make no difference. This is off topic so can we go to private msg? | 22:45 |
| Antonis | somsip, of course | 22:45 |
| brightspark | meerkats, is xsane a command-line utility? | 22:46 |
| perezd | so, start-stop-daemon not sure how to upgrade this system component…any pointers on where to even look? | 22:46 |
| alex__ | Are programs supposed to just install into /home | 22:47 |
| alex__ | for example: home/alex/Aptana Studio | 22:47 |

| meerkats | brightspark, no | 22:48 |
| brightspark | meerkats, I suggest you look through whatever documentation you can find on it then. Since it's not command-line, its man page might not be very helpful, but it's a starting point. | 22:49 |

| meerkats | what scaning program do you recommend under ubuntu? I see sxane has not been updated since 2010, and the devel list stopeed that year too Did they move to something better? | 23:09 |
| brightspark | yamahaalex37, if you really want to do it graphically, use gksudo nautilus. | 23:10 |
| escott | yamahaalex37, the safest thing for you to to is make a "bin" directory in your home folder and put the aptana executable there (or symlink to it). if you want other people to be able to use aptana put it in /opt or /usr/local/bin | 23:10 |
| escott | meerkats, there is a gnome simple-scan program | 23:10 |
| meerkats | escott, i need to scan 800 pages, and xsane was perfect for that | 23:11 |
| yamahaalex37 | /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin... | 23:11 |
| escott | yamahaalex37, do not put anything in /usr/bin | 23:11 |
| meerkats | escott, which is really weird, I have used xsane without problems before, before upgrading to 11.10, could that be related? | 23:12 |
| kz3 | how can I see my graphics card configuration in Ubuntu 11.10? | 23:12 |
| escott | meerkats, they might have dropped xsane in favor of one of the other guis. what did you like about xsane that you aren't able to do with simple-scan | 23:13 |
| meerkats | escott, choose 800 pages in a multipage project so it doesnt stop scanning and I just have to turn the pages | 23:14 |
| meerkats | instead of click, turn page, click, turn page | 23:14 |
| butat | never reading your chats | 23:14 |
| escott | meerkats, you could probably use a command line tool. just put a sleep in between the scans | 23:15 |
| meerkats | escott, not a good idea, im a total noob | 23:15 |
| escott | meerkats, im not clear on how any gui is going to get you around the issue of having to tell the computer when you have reposition the page to be able to scan again | 23:16 |
| DaZ | meerkats: while true; do dosomething; sleep 2s; done | 23:16 |
| butat | unfunny | 23:16 |
| escott | meerkats, but you could do: for i in `seq 1 800`; do scanimage > image$i.png; sleep 15; done; | 23:16 |
| DaZ | uhm, or just seq :x | 23:17 |
| meerkats | escott, it just doesnt stop, so you have to be really fast to turn the page while the scanner goes to default position | 23:17 |
| meerkats | 2 seconds would be enough | 23:18 |
| escott | meerkats, then take out the sleep. for i in `seq -w 1 800`; do scanimage > image$i.png; done; | 23:18 |
| meerkats | escott, all I have tgo do is open a terminal and paste : for i in `seq 1 800`; do scanimage > image$i.png; sleep 15; done; ? | 23:19 |
| DaZ | pretty much | 23:20 |
| butat | lopl | 23:20 |
| DaZ | just adjust the sleep time :x | 23:20 |
| escott | meerkats, you probably want seq -w 1 800; and if you want 2 seconds that is sleep 2; but that will create image001.png image002.png in your home directory | 23:20 |
| meerkats | escott, im giving it a try... | 23:21 |
| meerkats | with 2 | 23:21 |
| meerkats | escott, yes it works, it creates png files, and sleeps for 2 seconds, but my default viewer cannot display them: could not load "filenamehere" Fatal error reading PNG image file: Not a PNG file | 23:23 |
| mrdeb | what is wxgtk | 23:24 |
| mrdeb | ? | 23:24 |
| butat | you're stupid | 23:24 |
| mrdeb | huh | 23:24 |
| butat | never reading your chats | 23:24 |
| meerkats | escott, gimp can read em | 23:25 |
| escott | meerkats, i was just guessing it would create a png | 23:25 |
| JasonGriffee | how to diagnose screen tearing? | 23:25 |
| butat | you are a fat faggot | 23:25 |
| DaZ | meerkats: then it's in some other format | 23:25 |
| escott | run in terminal file image001.png and it will tell you want it actually is | 23:25 |
| meerkats | escott, pnm, properties says pnm | 23:26 |
| meerkats | indeed it is, now I can see the copies | 23:27 |
| escott | meerkats, you could use imagemagick's convert utility to bulk convert files to another format | 23:27 |
| mouseover | Is there a UI widget for volume control? Specifically, that shows the volume graph as the sound is being played ? | 23:27 |
| mrdeb | so what is wxgtk | 23:28 |
| DaZ | mrdeb: GTK+ implementation of wxWidgets API for GUI | 23:28 |
| DaZ | :f | 23:28 |
| escott | meerkats, or look at "man scanimage" to see if there is an option that outputs another format (assuming you dont want pnm) | 23:28 |
| butat | all you do is blog | 23:28 |
| meerkats | escott, i was aiming to pdf | 23:28 |
| escott | meerkats, im sure its possible. if not install imagemagick and run: for i in *.pnm; do convert $i `basename $i pnm`pdf; done; | 23:29 |
| butat | channer detected | 23:29 |
| mrdeb | ok daz | 23:29 |
| MahaVishnu | butat$ ? | 23:30 |
| meerkats | escott, 83 MB free space, I should really stop installing new things | 23:30 |
| mrdeb | wow meerkats that is low | 23:31 |
| butat | old meme | 23:31 |
| DaZ | lean the apt cache? :x | 23:31 |
| DaZ | clean :x | 23:31 |

| sokak | Hi everyone, no one knows where i can find a good tutorial where i can find how to make context menu entries in nautilus right click menus to assign emblems to arbitrary file types? | 23:53 |
| mody | so do I have to re install ubuntu everytime this hapens..... | 23:54 |
| sokak | mody, what happened? | 23:54 |
| arunce | ? | 23:54 |
| DaZ | us: and you're probably getting lots of nvrm:xid 13 errors in the kernel log | 23:54 |
| mody | windows no longer have shadows | 23:54 |
| kaushal | Hi | 23:54 |
| kaushal | Please suugest about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2011-December/006016.html ? | 23:55 |
| kaushal | suggest* | 23:55 |
| mody | sokak any idea? | 23:55 |
| EvilResistance | kaushal: if its a server thing, then #ubuntu-server | 23:55 |
| sokak | mody , i cant see how this can be related to ubuntu | 23:55 |
| mody | then its related ot what? | 23:55 |
| mody | it just happened | 23:55 |
| brightspark | mody, are they turned on in compiz | 23:55 |
| mody | rebooted and it came this way | 23:55 |
| mody | where is compiz? | 23:56 |
| sokak | mody sorry, i got it as you were dual booting and *windows side* was no longer having shadows | 23:56 |
| brightspark | compiz-config settings manager. In the repositories | 23:56 |
| mody | correct | 23:57 |
| mody | I have windows side by side | 23:57 |
| mody | Yes I got compiz config manager | 23:57 |
| us | DaZ: not sure what you mean. I'm a beginner | 23:57 |
| === Justasic_ is now known as Justasic | ||
| meerkats | I have been installing some needed dependencies (this must be the root of my problem) but I still nedd to fix this: error: User needs to be member of group 'lp' to enable print, scan & fax. | 23:58 |
| meerkats | User member of group 'lpadmin'. | 23:58 |
| sokak | mody, sorry to ask again, but is windows or ubuntu not having windows shadows anymore? | 23:58 |
| mody | ubuntu | 23:58 |
| mody | :) | 23:58 |
| escott | us, open a terminal and type grep -i nvrm /var/log/kern.log | 23:58 |
| sokak | mody, then install the settings manager, or the compiz fusion-icon, poking there may fix that | 23:59 |
| brightspark | mody, the shadow controls are under the window decorations plugin in ccsm | 23:59 |
