| justin_ | hey im trying to install ubuntu 10.04 on my macbook pro 8.2 but im having some issues can anyone help? | 00:07 |
| qwertz | it should be about 60G and only about 36G are detected. | 00:07 |
| SunTsu | justin_: why on earth would you install something that is 1.5 years old? | 00:07 |

| justin_ | i prefer the os | 00:08 |
| * szal slaps SunTsu around a bit with a large LTS | 00:08 | |
| Corey | SunTsu: Because some of us have stability requirements that "OOH, SHINY!" can't meet? | 00:08 |

| szal | SunTsu: what do you think 10.04 is? | 00:10 |
| justin_ | i have looked through google and many forums | 00:10 |
| qwertz | since I am not an expert, myabe something went wrong with fsck or e2fsck? | 00:10 |
| Corey | SunTsu: Urm... he said 10.04, which is LTS. :-) | 00:10 |
| Corey | justin_: The hardware support might just not be in that version. | 00:10 |
| justin_ | i have tried installing 11.1 and i get the exact same error | 00:11 |
| Corey | "Shiny hardware" and "older release" tend not to play so well together. | 00:11 |
| justin_ | although i would much prefer to install 10.04 | 00:11 |

| Jordan_U | justin_: If you install Ubuntu using the netinstall/minimal installer it should work around the "unable to find a live medium containing a live filesystem" problem. | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | !minimal | justin_ | 00:28 |
| ubottu | justin_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

I'd also like to release both buttons and still retain this functionality until I click again. See for more info: http://pastebin.com/3prT5SEJ | 00:42 |

| SunTsu | ibodi: the important part is putting stuff info the clipboard, using X's copy buffer alone does not work | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | skegeek: To what extent is it frozen? Do you see any changes on the screen at all (like moving the cursor)? Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 (ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to a GUI)? Can you ssh in from another machine? | 00:44 |

| enovativ | ok everyone ..i have tried what i think is everything to get his usb wireless adapter working and nothing | 00:52 |
| skegeek | Jordan_U: When my system freezes, it doesn't respond whatsoever, I have to press the power button. | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | skegeek: Have you tried ctrl+alt+F1 or ssh? | 00:53 |
| drx1 | what is the default root password for Ubuntu 10? | 00:53 |
| rfi | toor | 00:53 |
| anto | Hi 2 every1 | 00:53 |
| enovativ | first..i installed the broadcom driver and that didn't work...because it didn't show up in "Additional Drivers" | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | !root | drx1 | 00:54 |
| ubottu | drx1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 00:54 |
| enovativ | then I installed compat-wirelss, and added the necessary info in the usb.c file | 00:54 |
| enovativ | and that didn't work | 00:54 |
| enovativ | for some reason...couldint do a make, or a make install on the compat-wireless folder | 00:54 |
| drx1 | sudo isn | 00:54 |
| drx1 | is not working | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | !details | drx1 | 00:54 |
| ubottu | drx1: 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 ..." | 00:54 |
| enovativ | I am running ubuntu 10.10, and I using a NetGear g54/n150 wireless usb micro adapter | 00:55 |
| enovativ | i am using it on a desktop | 00:55 |
| drx1 | I am trying to do a ./configure and it says you do not have permssions. I am administrator (per Gnome GUI). | 00:55 |
| enovativ | when i do lsusb....i can see the device | 00:56 |
| phunyguy | drx1, the command would be sudo ./configure | 00:56 |
| skegeek | I have tried Ctrl+Alt+F1, yes, I can't test via ssh at this time though. | 00:56 |
| phunyguy | drx1, then type YOUR password | 00:56 |
| phunyguy | sudo != root. | 00:56 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: You shouldn't need to use root privileges for ./configure. | 00:56 |
| rfi | sudo su - F.T.P. | 00:56 |
| genoobie | should I update? | 00:56 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: What is your end goal? | 00:56 |
| genoobie | using the update manager | 00:56 |
| phunyguy | but drx1, best practice would be to ./configure and make in your user directory somewhere, then sudo make install. | 00:57 |
| genoobie | it's version 11.10 | 00:57 |
| szal | drx1: you don't build software as root | 00:57 |
| phunyguy | Jordan_U, I am guessing he extracted the source to /tmp | 00:57 |
| enovativ | i also installed ndisgtk....to try to install windows driver. but I can't find a INF file for this wireless adapter | 00:57 |
| phunyguy | there is no harm in building as root | 00:57 |
| user82 | does anyone know how i can chat in QQ with ubuntu 11.10? | 00:57 |
| phunyguy | just not required | 00:57 |
| drx1 | phunyguy: it was on a USB key and I also put it in downloads in my home folder | 01:00 |
| phunyguy | drx1, then chmod +x configure | 01:00 |
| drx1 | I also used the GUI to grant RW permissions to all files in the folder | 01:00 |
| phunyguy | the execute permission is missing | 01:00 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: What is your end goal? I assume you're trying to install something. What are you trying to install? | 01:00 |

| k_sze | Jordan_U: I want to retry installing 11.10 *in-place* (without having to wipe the existing ext4 partition) | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: What is your end goal? I assume you're trying to install something. What are you trying to install? | 01:07 |
| k_sze | using the CD | 01:07 |
| phunyguy | drx1, I have no idea, figure out why the ./configure failed. I'm sure there is command output. and without a pastebin, I can't help. | 01:07 |
| drx1 | I ran it from the source dir, and ./configure says "C++ compiler cannot create executables" | 01:08 |
| Jordan_U | k_sze: So you want to check the partition table? | 01:08 |
| phunyguy | I'm sure there is more to the problem | 01:08 |
| phunyguy | but as a quick attempt, try "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 01:08 |
| phunyguy | then try again | 01:08 |
| itaylor57 | drx1, knowing what you are trying to compile would be helpful | 01:09 |
| Jordan_U | phunyguy: I think we really need to figure out what drx1's end goal is before we go any further. | 01:09 |

| drx1 | can't -- system isn't on internet. have to bring over via usb | 01:11 |

| Jordan_U | !offline | drx1 | 01:12 |
| ubottu | drx1: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 01:12 |

| Jordan_U | drx1: Then use http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ as also suggested in ubottu's message. | 01:17 |

| airtonix | somsip: ugh, fails when there isn't both the private and public key in ~/.ssh (or at same location as the private) | 01:38 |
| somsip | airtonix: aha! | 01:38 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: Also, please use my full nick (Jordan_U) when responding to me so that my client will highlight it. | 01:38 |
| airtonix | somsip: so i guess when i have an entry in ~/.ssh/config then this scenario works | 01:38 |
| airtonix | somsip: but yes, you are right there is another bug with ssh-agent where if you don't have an entry in ~/.ssh/config then -i gets ignored when there are more than 6 keys imported to the ssh-agent | 01:39 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: 10.10 | 01:40 |

| Guddu | Hi All...I have mysqld in etc/init.d .... How do i make it to start automatically each time the machine is restarted? | 01:41 |
| airtonix | somsip: yes but if you try to connect to a remote host that you have'nt created a shortcut for in ~/.ssh/config and need to specify -i. then ssh-agent forst tries all it's managed keys before using the one you specified... so it will fail if ssh-agent has more than 6 keys | 01:42 |
| worrow | I have wired connection and wish to share it via my built in wifi. How do I do it? | 01:42 |
| worrow | I will receive connection from mac if it makes a difference | 01:42 |

| skegeek | So, if A/V isn't necessary on Linux - the talk about A/V on Linux-based phones is just hyp? | 01:43 |
| somsip | airtonix: hmm. I use config for ssh'ing but -i for scp and have no problems. But anyways, if you've found your solution that's what matters | 01:43 |
| worrow | anyone? | 01:43 |
| Jordan_U | skegeek: Desktop Linux and phones are different things. When basically all the software in your repositories is Open Source it's easy to ensure that none of it is mallicious. | 01:44 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: btw, the apt-get install build-essential does work | 01:45 |
| worrow | someone has to know | 01:45 |
| ibodi | SunTsu: you still there ? | 01:45 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: "Doesn't work" is almost never a useful description of a problem. What happens when you try to run "sudo apt-get install build-essential"? | 01:45 |
| worrow | who knows networking on ubuntu? | 01:46 |

| worrow | how to I share wired connection via my built in wifi? | 01:47 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: Since it hasn't been packaged for Ubuntu 10.10 it will be difficult to install extundelete. While it's certainly possible there may be easier solutions (like testdisk/photorec which is packaged in Ubuntu 10.10). What files did you delete that you're trying to recover or what is the situation exactly? | 01:47 |
| skegeek | Oh, the apps in mobile markets are mostly proprietary? | 01:47 |

| uqaschwa | in ubuntu 11.10 64-bit, I'm getting this error when running evolution and selection "exchange MAPI": I'm getting this error when I select "Exchange MAPI": (evolution:2118): e-utils-CRITICAL **: ec_assistant_forward: assertion `link != NULL' failed | 01:48 |
| uqaschwa | anyone familiar with this error, or a fix? | 01:48 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: system directories such as /sbin, etc are missing | 01:48 |
| Jordan_U | skegeek: I would assume so, it's certainly a *much* higher percentage than that in the Ubuntu repositories, and you can avoid proprietary code entirely if you want. | 01:48 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: I have the source for extundelete and would like to build it on the 10.10 box | 01:49 |
| worrow | Corey, I tried those, it makes no sense | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: That's not something you'd want to fix with extundelete. Do you have any idea how this directory was deleted? I assume that you're working from a different system which does have a /sbin/ now? | 01:49 |
| worrow | Corey, I tried the setup and got nowhere. I want to share it similar as to sharing internet with a mac | 01:50 |
| Corey | Well here we go. | 01:50 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: what are the odds of bringing those directories back assuming no new data was written to the drive since they were lost | 01:50 |
| drx1 | ? | 01:50 |
| Corey | worrow: http://www.askmebetter.com/ | 01:50 |
| Corey | worrow: Pastebin the results of that form please. :-) | 01:51 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: possibly a power problem, possibly an IRQ/memory range conflict that brought the system down | 01:51 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: y, on a different system | 01:51 |
| drexl | would anyone know what module I need to load to mount audio cds data cds work fine. | 01:51 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: A power problem should not result in loss of old files. If /sbin is gone then your best bet is to re-install. | 01:52 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: it was writing data to that drive when the power may have failed | 01:52 |
| Jordan_U | drexl: Audio CDs don't contain filesystems and thus cannot be "mounted". Use one of many applications for ripping / playing / listing songs from an audio CD. | 01:52 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: why do you say extundelete is not a good choice? | 01:53 |
| drexl | ya but I can't even mount the thing | 01:53 |
| drexl | Jordan_U: I can't mount it | 01:53 |
| worrow | 1. What I am trying to accomplish: | 01:53 |
| worrow | I have a wired connection to my desktop and want to make it announce that connection via wifi so I can see it from my laptop wirelessly and connect to it. | 01:53 |
| worrow | 2. The specific steps I am using to try to accomplish it: | 01:53 |
| worrow | Setup wireless ad-hoc and named connection and made a unique SSID. Didn't add security and left everything alone. | 01:53 |
| worrow | 3. What I expect will happen when I perform those steps: | 01:53 |
| FloodBot1 | worrow: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:53 |
| Jordan_U | drexl: You don't need to "mount" it (and it's not possible to). | 01:53 |
| worrow | I expect to see my connection wirelessly from other computers | 01:53 |
| drexl | o | 01:53 |
| Tech-1 | he prolly is looking for the command to mount media | 01:54 |
| frostschutz | drexl: some GUI file explorers act as if they mount the things, but it's just transparently switching to ripping audio mode really. there may be something in FUSE that does the same for console. but you really want to rip them with a program that lets you choose quality and stuff | 01:55 |
| myk_robinson | evening, all | 01:55 |
| worrow | did my paste show? | 01:55 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: A power outage alone might cause the new files that were being written at the time to not be written, but existing files (even if they were being overwritten) should not have been lost. /sbin certainly existed before whatever writes were being made when the machine lost power. | 01:55 |
| Tech-1 | drexl: also, if you dont either have ubuntu-restricted-extras and or the right codecs, it may not be seen also | 01:55 |
| myk_robinson | As of late, been having an issue where my laptop touchpad simply stops responding. I have to rmmod psmouse then reload it.. Looking at dmesg, it seems to coincide with weirdness with the iwlagn module. Any ideas? | 01:56 |

| Jordan_U | drx1: extundelete is a hit or miss thing which is used when you need to recover *information* and *documents* which would otherwise need to be re-researched / written / be unrecoverable. Files in /sbin come from packages and can be re-attained easily. And if you re-install you know you won't still be missing any important files which might come back to bite you later. | 01:57 |
| worrow | Corey, did you see my paste? | 01:58 |

| bonhoffer | how do i find out what is using port 3000? | 02:08 |
| worrow | jordan, still a no go | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: If you insist on trying to use extundelete it's probably easiest to do it from an Ubuntu 11.10 liveCD/USB. Compiling from source is rarely easy (unless you're familiar with doing it) and I personally don't want to take more of my time to try to help you with it as I don't think it will be very productive. No offense intended, I just want to put my effort elsewhere at the moment. | 02:09 |
| drx1 | somsip: I do not know | 02:09 |
| somsip | drx1: whs - and if the partition you want to recover from is mounted, you may well have overwritten remnants of the file(s) you are trying to recover | 02:09 |
| somsip | drx1: so your next step is evident | 02:10 |
| drx1 | somsip: It's a default 10.10 installation | 02:10 |
| drx1 | somsip: no work was done on it, though it did come up twice | 02:10 |
| somsip | drx1: "Do not save any more data to the partition with the deleted file for any reason! Doing so may overwrite your deleted data and sabotage any recovery effort." from http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ | 02:11 |
| drx1 | somsip: yes, I have it, but it will not compile | 02:12 |
| drx1 | and, yes, the drive is off line now | 02:12 |
| worrow | jordan, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/770723/ | 02:12 |

| drx1 | there's an unknown partition type of 9+GB between sdb1 and sdb3, I gather that would hvae been / and that it would be designated /dev/sdb2 if it were working. | 02:56 |

| dark | on unity 2d, how to move the top bar (with title, menu, etc) to the bottom? | 03:04 |
| au_fait | i know that you guys may think me crazy and weird but I am thinking about downgrading from 11.10 all the way down to 10.04 ... I know it sounds crazy but 11.x just not functional for my system | 03:09 |
| au_fait | i know | 03:09 |
| au_fait | I am crazy' | 03:09 |
| OerHeks | au_fait, downgrading = re-install | 03:10 |
| bubbles| | can i "chown" a process? or allow to processes from different users to signal each other? | 03:10 |
| rfi | is it owned by root ? | 03:10 |
| au_fait | i know everyone loves unity but I love gnome and other stuff gfound in 10.x | 03:10 |
| bubbles| | no, not root | 03:10 |
| somsip | au_fait: not crazy - I regretted upgrading to 11.04 but ended up with another solution instead of downgrading | 03:10 |
| bubbles| | the signaling user is "nobody" though .. not sure if that matters | 03:10 |
| au_fait | somsip? really? what is that? | 03:11 |
| rfi | bubbles, I think you can only do that if it starts out running as root and then calls setuid to another uid | 03:11 |
| LoadSystem | quit | 03:11 |
| somsip | au_fait: maybe that was misleading - I disliked unity, so installed minimal install of 10.04 then put a simple WM on top of that. Maybe this is not helpful if you have hardware issues | 03:11 |
| dark | au_fait, downgrading is not supported on any distro i know (other than NixOS) | 03:11 |
| somsip | *11.04 | 03:11 |
| rfi | the processes code has to be written to drop root priviledges after start up | 03:11 |
| bubbles| | so what do i do rfi? | 03:11 |
| drx1 | somsip: maybe it's not, but I will at least backup the data, etc. btw, how do you get permissions on a foreign drive without messing it up if indeed it does get fixed? | 03:11 |
| au_fait | oh crappers | 03:12 |
| rfi | or like write a small wrapper script around what you want to run | 03:12 |
| au_fait | but it upgraded to 11.04 | 03:12 |
| bubbles| | and what would that do? | 03:12 |
| dark | au_fait, upgrading is an one-way path on ubuntu | 03:12 |
| somsip | au_fait: yeah - I'm okay with the current releases as long as i keep my minimal setup and avoid gnome/unity/bloat | 03:12 |
| Rachel88 | Make Money Using Facebook http://fb.weightdeals.com/ | 03:12 |
| au_fait | ah ok. | 03:12 |
| somsip | drx1: not sure - maybe safest to mount as root and poke around on there as root. | 03:13 |
| dark | nobody knows how to move the top bar (with title, menu, etc) to the bottom, on unity 2d? | 03:13 |
| rfi | bubbles, can you give me some background on this ? is this a proces you cant stop and just restart as a different user ? | 03:13 |
| au_fait | seems like 10.x ran faster on my old amd 586 too | 03:13 |
| au_fait | oh well, pull out 10.x and reinstall | 03:14 |
| somsip | dark: last post I found from Sep suggested the functionality is not there | 03:14 |
| somsip | au_fait: is it just speed or are there hardware probs? | 03:14 |
| drx1 | somsip: it won't let me. | 03:14 |
| au_fait | both | 03:14 |
| drx1 | how do you get permissions on a foreign drive without messing it up if indeed it does get fixed? | 03:14 |
| au_fait | mostly hardware | 03:14 |
| bubbles| | rfi its a small script that is called by postfix on incoming mails, and sends the data via ipc to another process, and signals the process when doing so | 03:14 |
| somsip | drx1: so the drive is b0rked? | 03:14 |
| au_fait | before I could dual screen wioth no problem' | 03:14 |
| somsip | au_fait: ok - maybe best option then | 03:15 |
| drx1 | somsip: only the 2nd partition | 03:15 |
| dark | drx1, foreign drive? what is this | 03:15 |
| * w30 's playing with kubuntu and xubuntu; No Unity or Gnome3 for me. | 03:15 | |
| drx1 | somsip: but, I would like to pull data from the 1st and 3rd | 03:15 |
| somsip | drx1: s/drive/partion | 03:15 |
| rfi | well thats going to run as whatever the parent postfix process runs as | 03:15 |
| dark | somsip, I heard it almost 1 year ago. and I saw lots of people asking for it. I supposed.. it would be implemented | 03:15 |
| drx1 | dark: a drive from another system (different users, permissions, etc) | 03:15 |
| bubbles| | the files it creates are for the user "nobody".. | 03:16 |
| drx1 | somsip: s/drive/partition? | 03:16 |
| somsip | dark: I read about changed beingmade to allow more configuration for unity but it doesn't affect me so the info doesn't sink in | 03:16 |
| dark | drx1, hmm but it's an unix drive? I think you can "translate" UIDs and so on | 03:16 |
| rfi | this maybe something you want to check with postfix documntation about, it may have a build in setting/feature to change what user it runs as | 03:16 |
| somsip | drx1: so it seems like the partiion is b0rked then | 03:16 |
| === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado | ||
| drx1 | dark: the partitions are mounted but I do not have permissions to them and I want to go in & pull data but make sure it will work in the original computer if repaired | 03:17 |
| drx1 | somsip: yes, I'm in the data recovery phase from the 2 good partitions | 03:17 |
| dark | drx1, I think you should mount read-only, and read data as root | 03:18 |
| dark | drx1, if you want to write data there, maybe it is easiest to create users with the right UIDs and edit with them | 03:18 |
| drx1 | I thought Ubuntu doenst have root anymore, and that the first user (me) just had to sudo. I tried changing the password with sudo passwd root and it took the change but will not let me login as root nor su root... isnt that a new change in 10.10 over earlier rooty versions? | 03:19 |
| somsip | !root | drx1 | 03:20 |
| ubottu | drx1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:20 |
| dark | uhm. o.o you can just sudo with your first user, and you will be the real root | 03:20 |
| Squarism | can i make my whole homenetwork available just by initiating a ssh tunnel to it from a remote location? | 03:20 |

| Akiva | Hey folks, quick question; I can't find the HP photosmart 5510 in the list of drivers. Should I just be using the generic, or should I look to download one off google? | 03:20 |
| Squarism | ....or will i need some iptables thing for that too? | 03:20 |
| dark | here, my root has a password (I just ran passwd as root..) | 03:20 |
| somsip | Akiva: check for support of this model in hplip | 03:20 |
| Akiva | somsip: well do | 03:21 |
| drx1 | somsip: hate that | 03:21 |
| drx1 | somsip: stupid | 03:21 |
| drx1 | somsip: anyway, what command am I sudoing to in order to pull data from the good partitions? | 03:21 |
| somsip | drx1: I used to think restrictions placed by people who know more than me were stupid to. now I accept they may have validity | 03:21 |
| dark | drx1, the only common metadata that is system-specific is user ids and group ids. on the filesystem, they are just numbers. the mapping from those numbers to username and group names are stored on /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and it's this that is system-specific | 03:21 |
| drx1 | dark: right, so how do I get permissions to the good partitions without changing those? | 03:22 |
| Shammancer | how can you make the recovery console bigger? | 03:23 |
| dark | drx1, what about sudo su - ? if you just want to read | 03:23 |
| dark | drx1, or, if you create users with the right IDs, you can use the partition normally with this user | 03:23 |
| w30 | Akiva, look for some additional drivers in the repos, there are more HP printer stuff in there | 03:23 |
| threezero | can someone help me connect to a webdav server in 11.04 with xfce | 03:24 |
| Jordan_U | drx1: If you think that a partition table entry has been deleted but the filesystem is still completely intact you can use testdisk to restore the partition table entry. | 03:24 |
| Akiva | w30: thanks! | 03:24 |
| drx1 | actually, I did gain access as root, must have mistyped the passwd twice b4 -- huh! | 03:24 |
| Akiva | Though one thing I do not understand, is that it says that this printer has full support, but it won't support its wireless networking... I think. | 03:24 |
| bubbles| | can i send signals to users in the same group? | 03:25 |
| Jordan_U | Akiva: If the printer is supported when plugged in directly then it should also be supported over the network. | 03:25 |

| abhijeet | today, i installed netbeans ide and found that the file menu is not integrating with the ubuntu top pane, just like libre office.. is there any fix for it? | 03:26 |
| Jordan_U | Akiva: You're welcome :) | 03:26 |
| abhijeet | or do need to raise a bug for it? | 03:26 |
| dark | drx1, with the command stat (or, clicking with the right button on nautilus, and going to properties), you can see the IDs. like, if you can't enter on some directory as your regular user, you can check the owner ID of it; a user with the same id will be able to enter there | 03:27 |
| drx1 | Jordan_U: I will likely try that, could work unless it was formatted or scrabled. | 03:27 |
| Jordan_U | abhijeet: Check if a bug report has already been made, and if not then file one yourself. | 03:27 |
| drx1 | scrambled | 03:27 |
| Jordan_U | !bug | abhijeet | 03:27 |

| researcher123 | I have 32 Bit Ubuntu 11.10 installed on whole hard drive.How an I replace it with 64 bit without wiping my earlier storages? | 03:28 |
| dark | robin0800, is it broken? | 03:28 |
| abhijeet | somsip, ok let me try that. | 03:28 |
| somsip | abhijeet: the bug that requires this is more that the java window does not populate - just a grey empty box. If you run "wmname LG3D" it fixes that. It might do something for the title bar too. Guesing | 03:28 |
| w30 | Akiva, check out hplip | 03:28 |
| robin0800 | dark: no that was to abhijeet about the menu's | 03:29 |
| Shammancer | how can you make the recovery console (shell) a higher resolution? | 03:30 |
| abhijeet | robin0800, yes.. I saw one fix .. but it is unstable at this time. | 03:30 |
| w30 | Akiva, hpijs-ppds looks promising | 03:30 |
| abhijeet | robin0800, anyway having menus for libreoffice on applicaton is good.. most of them are needed frequently :) | 03:31 |
| researcher123 | I have 32 Bit Ubuntu 11.10 installed on whole hard drive.How can I replace it with 64 bit without wiping my earlier storages? | 03:31 |
| abhijeet | somsip, do i need to install that package | 03:31 |
| somsip | abhijeet: from memory wmname is a very small package that is in the main repo | 03:31 |
| abhijeet | somsip, okay | 03:32 |
| abhijeet | somsip, disaster :( close, mini.. are gone from all the windows | 03:34 |
| abhijeet | somsip, how can i revert it back?? | 03:34 |
| somsip | abhijeet: you may well need to restart xsession to reset wname. Not sure. | 03:34 |
| abhijeet | rebooting will solve the problem? | 03:34 |
| somsip | abhijeet: I would imagine so | 03:34 |
| OerHeks | researcher123, easy, start the 64 bit installation, choose to decrease your current partition to make space for the 64 bit version | 03:34 |
| abhijeet | okay.. let me try it | 03:35 |

| ubottu | cyberex: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 04:23 |
| usr13 | cyberex: First, you'd need to get a wireless NIC that has infastructure mode. | 04:24 |
| cyberex | infrastructure mode ... is is same as master mode | 04:25 |
| brainwave | Ok....If i declare char str[30]={"Hello"}; and i write printf("%d",str}; i get the address, and if i write %c instead of %d, i get the value 'H'. How come? Isnt str a pointer to the first element that is H? Should i have to deference it to get the value H instead of just changing the format specifier? | 04:25 |
| usr13 | cyberex: But it's easier to just get a wireless router. | 04:25 |

| cyberex | actually i wanna use my laptop as hotspot bcm4313 and by the way ad-hoc is something else | 04:26 |
| dr_willis | usr13: well this was from my android to linux laptop. it might be an android issue also. | 04:26 |
| cyberex | hotspot and ad-hoc are different things | 04:26 |
| usr13 | and if you only wanted to share with one other, ad-hoc will do the job | 04:26 |
| cyberex | actually i want to share connection with android | 04:27 |
| brainwave | Where do i ask for a cloak? In which channel? | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | ad-hoc + ICS = hotspot aint it. | 04:27 |

| etrask | So here's an odd question... for reasons no doubt relating to my neuroses I need to install the GRUB bootloader to a partition instead of the MBR, however the latest versions of the Ubuntu alternate installer fail on this step [I think since it started using GRUB 2?] | 06:03 |
| ZoeyMarie | dr_willis I have that page bookmarked. rEFIt isn't loading properly, and the sourceforge page doesn't have info on the issue (they say they're trying to solve the particular issue) | 06:03 |

| Jon-- | ZoeyMarie, Sounds like there's not much you can do until someone releases a patch. | 06:04 |
| etrask | urlin2u: just use the live CD to create a GRUB install for the already-installed system? will that work? | 06:04 |
| ZoeyMarie | Jon: they've been "investigating" the issue for at least a year, I believe... I know it's been done, but I was specifically hoping that there might be someone on here that has done it. | 06:05 |
| urlin2u | etrask, so we are on the same page, can you describe whats goi ng on. | 06:05 |

| etrask | urlin2u: so what I've done in the past is leave the MBR untouched, setup another partition [/boot] to be bootable and put GRUB there, so I can press escape at the TrueCrypt prompt to go into Linux | 06:07 |
| ryanCH | me-1: type "free -bl" in a terminal | 06:07 |
| ryanCH | me-1: or just "free" ;p | 06:08 |
| ZoeyMarie | Jon, I will try that. I haven't posted on the forums in a whiiiiile, and my experience has been a little slow with them... thus, I thought talking to someone might be quicker. | 06:08 |
| urlin2u | etrask, not sure as far as your set up but this site should give you some answers. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading | 06:08 |
| etrask | urlin2u: but when I install now with 11.10, the bootloader install step fails at trying to install to /dev/sdb3 [or whatever it is] with a "Cannot stat [device]" error | 06:08 |
| ZoeyMarie | Anyone know if there is a dual-boot ubuntu channel?? | 06:09 |
| Al_nz1 | how would I search a series of directories ( recup* ) for *.txt files containing nz email addresses (ie strings with @*.nz) | 06:09 |
| etrask | urlin2u: ah, I will check that out, thanks | 06:09 |

| frijolie | how do I know whether to use fstab or mtab? | 06:10 |
| urlin2u | etrask, I haven't used the alternative for a long time so I can't really say whats up, other than the live cd will install the bootloader where you want, the grub2 page tells you how to use the live cd to get into the OS if installed | 06:10 |
| ZoeyMarie | iceroot I just was, and people directed me to the forums. I was hoping to talk to someone, so I thought maybe there would be another channel. I am trying to dual-boot my macbookrpo, and having some difficulties with it. (and I have the !mac link bookmarked) | 06:10 |
| iceroot | !details | ZoeyMarie | 06:11 |
| ubottu | ZoeyMarie: 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 ..." | 06:11 |
| Al_nz1 | somsip: just not sure where in there I specify the path? ie /home/al/recup* ? | 06:11 |
| somsip | Al_nz1: wherever the files are situated | 06:11 |

| nubfilter | quick question for y'all... trying to downgrade to 10.04LTS and I created a bootable USB but it keeps booting to the existing installation on my SSD drive... any ideas why? does it autodetect and boot it? | 06:19 |
| Jon--_ | nubfilter, Ensure USB booting is enabled in BIOS and is a higher priority than SSD. | 06:20 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: depends on the pc esc or f8 normaly to get to a boot emnu | 06:20 |
| rumpe1 | gogeta, fail? | 06:20 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: then slect the usb drive or as he said change the bios settings | 06:20 |
| nubfilter | yes, I followed the same procedure installing freebsd and 11.10 on this machine... | 06:20 |
| coolstar | For those of you waiting for openswave, it is now up here: http://code.google.com/p/openswave | 06:20 |
| nubfilter | it starts reading USB after i select it in boot menu then hops to the existing install | 06:20 |
| coolstar | Its in GPLv3 | 06:20 |

| gogeta | nubfilter: areyou slecting boot from hdd lol | 06:21 |
| gogeta | nibalizer: thats in the list | 06:21 |
| coolstar | if you have any questions, send me an email at coolstarorganization@gmail.com | 06:21 |
| nubfilter | yes I'm selecting the USB drive from the boot menu | 06:21 |
| nubfilter | it's the only one out of 8 that says Kingston lol | 06:22 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: no when the usb boots it has another menu and the first option is to start whatever is on the hdd | 06:22 |
| nubfilter | that's just it.. i'm not getting that menu it goes strait into 11.10 that's installed on physical disk | 06:22 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: it might be defulting there | 06:22 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: ah | 06:22 |
| nubfilter | i've even tried holding F6 right after selecting the USB drive | 06:22 |
| nubfilter | 1 second later i'm on a login screen for 11.10 | 06:23 |
| nubfilter | well.. 2 seconds | 06:23 |
| nibalizer | nubfilter: are you sure you created the usb disk correctly? | 06:23 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: you make it with unetbootin? | 06:23 |
| nibalizer | i've found it to be kindof hard to do that right the first time | 06:23 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: if your trying to us =e the bult in tool on a older version it may be doing it wrong | 06:23 |
| nubfilter | I'm using osx, converted from iso to img, renamed got rid of the .dmg, then burned with dd | 06:24 |
| nubfilter | same way i did the 11.10 install | 06:24 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: stange maybe you lost something there | 06:24 |
| pilgo | I turned off my wif using the menu at the top and uncheck the "enable wireless" or whatever it's called. | 06:25 |
| pilgo | Now, whatever I do I can't turn it on. It's grayed out. | 06:25 |
| gogeta | pilgo: some drivers like to blow up when you do that restaring fixes it | 06:25 |
| pilgo | I tried to turn it on from Windows but booting into Ubuntu turns wireless off again | 06:26 |

| Jordan_U | nubfilter: Are you trying to boot the USB drive from a mac or a normal PC? | 06:34 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: if you use a dl manager they do tend to cruppt isos | 06:34 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: md5 it you will knoe if its bad | 06:34 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: it boots but goes to his old install | 06:34 |
| nubfilter | yes... going to do that just as soon as it finishes downlaoding | 06:34 |
| nubfilter | anyone happen to know where the md5s are for 10.04.3 server x64 iso? | 06:36 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: should be on the same site you got em | 06:36 |

| ubottu | nubfilter: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 06:36 |
| Jordan_U | nubfilter: Are you trying to boot the USB drive from a mac or a normal PC? | 06:36 |
| nubfilter | thanks | 06:36 |
| nubfilter | !md5sums | 06:36 |
| nubfilter | Jordan_U: download .iso on mac, convert to .img, write to USB with DD, boot on 'server' machine (not a mac). | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | nubfilter: Then you need to *not* convert it to a different filesystem (iso to "img"). Just dd the iso as is to the drive (and *not* to a partition, this is important). | 06:37 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: booting was not the issue it ran his key then started 11.10 | 06:37 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: yea i had a felling the conversion was losing some data | 06:38 |
| nubfilter | I'm following the exact same procedure this time as when I installed 11.10, but it looks like (after removing SSD connectors) the image was corrupted somehow so I'm redownloading the ISO and going to MD5 it | 06:38 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: It's losing the bootloader. | 06:38 |
| nubfilter | I just couldn't install oracle on 11.10 because a few things have changed and oracle is very picky | 06:39 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: yea dd the iso it might have worked before becouse it saw nothing and defukted to install | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | nubfilter: Following the OSX instructions on the Ubuntu download page will never make something that is bootable on a non [U]EFI machine. | 06:39 |
| gogeta | defulted | 06:39 |
| nubfilter | my understanding is that you cannot just dd a .iso file to a usb drive because iso file is ISO-9660 format and that is not how you write something to disk | 06:40 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: dd does not care | 06:40 |
| nubfilter | you can, however, do that to a CD | 06:40 |
| === Justasic_ is now known as Justasic | ||
| Jordan_U | nubfilter: You're understanding is incorrect. BIOS based firmware knows nothing about filesystems or partitions, it just loads the first sector of the drive into memory and jumps to it, everything else is up to that code. | 06:42 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: when it comes to make live cds its ok ebing your not writing data back | 06:42 |
| gogeta | being | 06:42 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: so it the bios and even the kernel its a cd | 06:43 |
| Jordan_U | nubfilter: It's true that you normally don't use iso9660 filesystems on writeable media for practical reasons, but that doesn't change the fact that Ubuntu isos (as of Ubuntu 11.10) are bootable when dd'd to a drive unmodified. | 06:44 |
| nubfilter | I am attempting to dd a 10.04LTS server ISO to USB media to boot on my server | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | nubfilter: That will fail. | 06:44 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: ? | 06:44 |
| nubfilter | correct... which is why you must conver it to IMG first, right? | 06:45 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: your right didnt lts have some bug with that | 06:45 |
| Jordan_U | nubfilter: No. | 06:45 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: nubfilter: Being able to dd the image and create a drive which is bootable with BIOS based firmware is a new feature in Ubuntu 11.10. It was not possible with previous versions of Ubuntu. | 06:46 |
| nubfilter | bummer. | 06:46 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: rite you gotta dump the files and use sys linux dont you | 06:46 |
| nubfilter | so I need to go buy a dvdr? | 06:46 |
| Jordan_U | nubfilter: I can create a netinstall image of Ubuntu 10.04 for you which you can dd to a drive and have bootable from BIOS based system. | 06:47 |
| nubfilter | it worked with 2 versions of freebsd, and 11.4, and 11.10 lol | 06:47 |

| gogeta | nubfilter: does the linux box still live | 06:47 |
| Jordan_U | pnorman: It shouldn't use colors when piped to other commands, or in scripts (as it's an alias). | 06:48 |
| pnorman | Ah, nevermind, got it working | 06:48 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: friggin unetbootin the iso | 06:48 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: they dump the fils and use there own boot laoder | 06:48 |
| nubfilter | does unetbootin have a version for osx? | 06:48 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: no :9 windows and linux | 06:48 |
| gogeta | :( | 06:48 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: soorry they now have a osx version | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | nubfilter: If you wait about an hour I'll probably have time to make you an image you can use (I need to leave now). It will need to be the netinstall (which downloads all packages during install) though since I don't have the upload bandwidth for anything else. | 06:49 |
| gogeta | nubfilter: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 06:49 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: that will get the job done :) | 06:50 |
| nubfilter | gogeta: thanks, I'll give it a try | 06:50 |

| nubfilter | should I unmount the partition first or is it smart enough? | 06:51 |

| gogeta | coolstar: shockwave isnt nedded you can write it in pure flash and get the same game | 07:12 |
| najche | yes.. | 07:12 |
| gogeta | coolstar: shockwave is just for noobs | 07:12 |
| gogeta | coolstar: and probly the same game faster | 07:13 |
| rootmark | hey prodr1fterx.. | 07:13 |
| gogeta | coolstar: i was pulling off flash video in flash 6 long before they made it easy | 07:13 |
| gogeta | coolstar: granted they where huge and uncompressed | 07:14 |
| milamber | maum: looks like they just removed 2 lines | 07:14 |
| prodr1fterx | yes mark? | 07:14 |
| R2D3-527 | hi, does anyone know how i can make my graphics faster again in ubuntu oneiric. in lucid it was fast enough, but when i switched to oneiric, i can feel some stress everytime i was dragging a window | 07:15 |
| litropy | Essentially, left-click+right-click (both upon press and also upon release until another click) = scroll with trackball. | 07:15 |
| maum | milamber: how can I apply this? | 07:15 |
| litropy | Hi, peeps. I have a trackball. I'm attempted to use xinput to make it so that when I press both left-click (button 1) and right-click (button 3), my window scrolls with the mouse. I'd also like to release both buttons and still retain this functionality until I click again. However, surprisingly, xinput is limited to one event per button. So, I'm looking for alternatives. | 07:15 |
| nubfilter | sadly still no success. I suppose I'll just hunt for a dvdr | 07:15 |
| TACPILOT | what is the smallest ubuntu install .. no frills just base system .. no desktop and no extra packages ?? | 07:16 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: base cli | 07:16 |
| coolstar | gogeta: shockwave is for 3d games, not videos btw | 07:16 |
| gogeta | coolstar: even 3d games | 07:16 |
| nubfilter | gogeta: shockwave is for silly website based 'games'. | 07:16 |
| gogeta | coolstar: all the calls are in stock flash | 07:16 |
| coolstar | gogeta: I downloaded a .dcr, and its only 4-5 MB, and its a 3d racing game | 07:17 |
| gogeta | coolstar: wish i could find you some relly old school ones | 07:17 |
| R2D3-527 | TACPILOT: the lightest ubuntu installation i know is Xubuntu | 07:17 |
| TACPILOT | I just installed mincd with command line install and it included all kinds of nonsense .. is that not the right iso ? | 07:17 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: did you slect server or base | 07:17 |
| coolstar | anyways, if you guys with to contribute, all you need is git, ubuntu, and some c/shockwave/c++ knowledge. http://code.google.com/p/openswave/ | 07:18 |
| almoxarife | TACPILOT: nonsense? | 07:18 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: base should be enough to get to bash and some tools | 07:18 |
| TACPILOT | was not one of the options | 07:18 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: bas eor cli | 07:18 |
| gogeta | or | 07:18 |
| TACPILOT | all kinds of destiop stuff | 07:18 |
| somsip | TACPILOT: shouldn't do | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | !ot | coolstar | 07:18 |
| ubottu | coolstar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:18 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: oh yea i think its in advanced under expert install | 07:19 |
| maum | milamber: ? | 07:19 |
| TACPILOT | the iso is called minicd .. at boot the screen has options for install or command line install or advanced verions of both | 07:19 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: with that you can do base install and skip insalling the besktop stuff | 07:19 |
| gogeta | desktop | 07:19 |
| R2D3-527 | hi, does anyone know how i can make my graphics faster again in ubuntu oneiric. in lucid it was fast enough, but when i switched to oneiric, i can feel some stress everytime i was dragging a window! tnx | 07:19 |
| milamber | maum: i would really just find the file and remove the 2 lines | 07:19 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: yea do expert install | 07:20 |
| TACPILOT | I never saw a base option and tried both the command line install and advanced command line install | 07:20 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: its called ecpert now | 07:20 |
| gogeta | expert | 07:20 |
| TACPILOT | yes meant advanced = expert | 07:20 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: should be like expert cli | 07:20 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: should give you a bunch of menus | 07:20 |
| maum | milamber: I have the source file but there is no file named "profile" except "profiler.py" | 07:20 |
| prodr1fterx | guys | 07:21 |
| prodr1fterx | look | 07:21 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT after basic install skip slecting packages | 07:21 |
| prodr1fterx | Reading package lists... Done | 07:21 |
| prodr1fterx | Building dependency tree | 07:21 |
| prodr1fterx | Reading state information... Done | 07:21 |

| TACPILOT | not see cli but it litterally says "expert command line install" I am getting the feeling there are 2 tyoes of cli | 07:21 |
| R2D3-527 | TACPILOT: but if you really want to get your hands dirty in the expert mode, you might want to try Gentoo and/or Arch | 07:21 |
| milamber | maum: what about py26-wxpython ? | 07:22 |
| TACPILOT | needing the ubuntu package repos for this project | 07:22 |
| R2D3-527 | TACPILOT: i see... | 07:22 |
| TACPILOT | so need super small footprint to provision nodes with | 07:22 |
| TACPILOT | stateless cluster | 07:23 |
| maum | milamber: there is no file like that. | 07:23 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: yea arch by defult is base install only | 07:23 |
| w30 | TACPILOT, Lubuntu went on my netbook with an eight point six gig ssd drive with graphics, networking, word processors browsers and had over 3 gig leftover | 07:23 |
| TACPILOT | these machines will have no drives | 07:23 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: ubuntu kinda burryed there base installer but you do it threw expert installer command line i beleve and just skip slecting packages | 07:24 |
| RokcStar | try slax | 07:24 |
| gogeta | naa arch its base by nature | 07:24 |
| dr_willis | tiny core linux. 10mb. ;) | 07:24 |
| gogeta | 400mb installed | 07:24 |
| milamber | maum: looking at the bug it might be in setup.py ? | 07:25 |
| * dr_willis missed the actual support question | 07:25 | |
| RokcStar | or run live with Persitance mode | 07:25 |
| TACPILOT | I tried that first .. before trying the normal command line install .. neither give a login prompt when done | 07:25 |
| gogeta | dr_willis: doing a ubuntu base install i forgot they burryed it | 07:25 |
| TACPILOT | I can try again with expert version | 07:25 |
| maum | milamber: the error happened when "python setup.py build" | 07:25 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: yes expert is what you whant | 07:26 |
| dr_willis | it the machines have no hd... what are you installing to? | 07:26 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: your normal options but all in a list stylr | 07:26 |

| litropy | Hi, peeps. I have a trackball. I'm attempted to use xinput to make it so that when I press both left-click (button 1) and right-click (button 3), my window scrolls with the mouse. I'd also like to release both buttons and still retain this functionality until I click again. However, surprisingly, xinput is limited to one event per button. So, I'm looking for alternatives. | 07:26 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: you will see install base system | 07:26 |
| TACPILOT | dr_willis yeah I have seen them and I even put together a custion DSL distro for papa john's pizza a while back | 07:26 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: then skip over slect packages and do the configs boot loader etc | 07:26 |
| TACPILOT | I need ubuntu repos for this project though | 07:27 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: you will have a basic ubuntu | 07:27 |

| TACPILOT | thats really all I am trying to find with these installs | 07:28 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: well it does kinda scrool buy everything it does | 07:28 |
| RokcStar | old ubuntu | 07:28 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: yea thats expert command line | 07:29 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: as i said just skip over slect packages thats whats installs the desktop stuff | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | !jeos | 07:29 |
| ubottu | JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information. | 07:29 |
| TACPILOT | is the "command line install" and cli 2 diff installers ? | 07:29 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: no cli is short for that | 07:30 |
| westernanalog | broken packages here and 'sudo apt-get -f install' do not help. what to do? | 07:30 |
| TACPILOT | k | 07:30 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: ah yes jeos forgot abought them | 07:30 |
| TACPILOT | dr_willis: will take a look tnx | 07:30 |
| gogeta | lol it redirected me to virtulazion | 07:30 |
| gogeta | jeos ubuntu musta died | 07:31 |
| dr_willis | not sure if jeos is sill actively developed | 07:31 |
| TACPILOT | :( | 07:31 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: but my methed works :) | 07:31 |
| TACPILOT | will try again TY | 07:31 |
| RokcStar | what if you purge the cache | 07:31 |
| dr_willis | ive seen premade vbox ubuntu setups/vdks also' | 07:31 |
| RokcStar | of apt | 07:32 |
| somsip | a few jeOS's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_enough_operating_system | 07:32 |

| w30 | TACPILOT, check out this page of tiny Linuxes: http://www.micheleandreoli.it/mulinux/tiny.html | 07:32 |
| RokcStar | or apt-get clean to erase old packages | 07:32 |
| denki | /whowas jon-- | 07:32 |
| TACPILOT | boots a quick splash screen and then just blinking curser | 07:32 |
| denki | a well | 07:32 |
| gogeta | he will be good with base ubuntu its just they like to forget some of use like command line | 07:33 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 07:33 |
| ubottu | 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 | 07:33 |

| nubfilter | lets just hope this installer can install grub correctly :-/ | 07:33 |
| TACPILOT | will take a look | 07:33 |
| dr_willis | if you see the plymouth animation. you are past grub | 07:33 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: arch would be perfect for you and they have a pretty big communty to | 07:33 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: rather then ppa they use a system called aur arch user repo and normaly have anything ubuntu does | 07:34 |
| RokcStar | what part of the boot process is plymouth | 07:34 |
| dr_willis | RokcStar: its part of the initrd i think | 07:35 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: and users made it even easer the a ppa being you can install a aur package manager | 07:35 |
| gogeta | like packer | 07:35 |
| RokcStar | oh nice, and after initrd? | 07:35 |
| === flack-Z is now known as flack | ||
| TACPILOT | because this cluster will be based off ubuntu repos , and the master nodes will also be worker nodes I really prefer all packages comming from the same repos .. the worker nodes are what I am putting together now | 07:37 |
| RokcStar | is there a way to do some sort of soft reboot? | 07:37 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: by nature they dont install anything other then the kernel some tools and the package manager and say build your distro | 07:37 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: but its documation is epic | 07:37 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: probly the best of all the distros | 07:38 |
| solofight_ | dr_willis: i installed xming and learned to launch a xserver - not when i connect to my server i am able to launch gui applications like xclock, emacs from console - but how do i get the entire GUI effect ? like desktop | 07:38 |

| R2D3-527 | hi, anyone knows how to disable dashboard in oneiric | 07:38 |
| TACPILOT | tnx but I dont want to deal with package feature missmatches is one repo is using a diff version than what is available in the other | 07:38 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: aur normaly just grab the latest | 07:39 |
| TACPILOT | i need all ubuntu | 07:39 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: you relise linux is linux | 07:39 |
| RokcStar | what process is it that controls the desktop on ubuntu and how can i reset it | 07:40 |
| gogeta | TACPILOT: its pretty rare for packeges to conflict | 07:40 |
| TACPILOT | yes but package x verion1 may be diff than vesion2 and I dont want to deal with wierd things that can happen for those situations | 07:40 |

| gogeta | MoleMan: we where doing that year ago | 07:59 |
| dr_willis | MoleMan: with some vncs you have totally hidden desktops you connect to with a vncviewer | 07:59 |
| dr_willis | ive seen shared de3sktops i think with pointers.. not recently however | 08:00 |
| devkorcvince | srfc21: yap ubuntu can't support multi ruby version | 08:00 |
| gogeta | RokcStar: yea it used to be like joes mouse | 08:00 |
| gogeta | RokcStar: had his name under it pretty cool | 08:00 |
| RokcStar | thats perhaps special pads could offer multiple touch points even if they weren't used as a multitouch device but as seperate devices | 08:01 |
| gogeta | dr_willis: yea i cant rember what vnc did that | 08:01 |
| MoleMan | hmmm OK, was just saying what I thought based on my use of VNC but I haven't used it in a whilst. Also, its IRC channels like these that make me want to shoot myself when asking for support elsewhere | 08:01 |
| RokcStar | moleman..thats not cool | 08:02 |
| codepal | should I ask for help with dircproxy in here? | 08:02 |
| RokcStar | wait i read it wrong sorry. very cool. | 08:02 |
| gogeta | RokcStar: well i knoe if you have a usb mouse and another usb mouse you can make them act on there own and not share the same pointer | 08:02 |
| gogeta | RokcStar: heck even 2 keybords | 08:03 |
| gogeta | RokcStar: you can make 1 work space totaly indenpendent of the other | 08:03 |
| gogeta | RokcStar: and even share the same space | 08:03 |
| MoleMan | RokcStar: no its not, its just busy channels like this you get instant responses, and then I need help in irc://quakenet/TeamSpeak and you ask a question and several hours later noone has replied... | 08:04 |
| RokcStar | yes, actually the idea occured to me when using MyPaint on a touchscreen monitor but im not sure if MyPaint supports multitouch | 08:04 |
| RokcStar | so not only is it about hardware but if the program would run concurent inputs | 08:05 |
| gogeta | RokcStar: yea your program would need to support multitouch | 08:05 |
| RokcStar | i see | 08:05 |
| gogeta | RokcStar: as for multi inoputs this has beeing going on sense windows 98 | 08:06 |

| iluminator105 | hi, my desktop sharing feature is grayed out, how do i enable it? | 08:07 |

| RokcStar | thank you gogeta for the tips on purge and xorg. i am going to look into it. have a nice time | 08:07 |
| RokcStar | see you | 08:07 |
| iluminator105 | gogeta, roughter??? | 08:08 |
| litropy | Hi, peeps. I have a trackball. I'm attempted to use xinput to make it so that when I press both left-click (button 1) and right-click (button 3), my window scrolls with the mouse. I'd also like to release both buttons and still retain this functionality until I click again. However, surprisingly, xinput is limited to one event per button. So, I'm looking for alternatives. | 08:10 |
| avernos | how can i check from the cli the other lan hosts i can see? | 08:17 |
| avernos | using samba? | 08:17 |
| maucat | clear | 08:18 |
| EncRyptO | avernos, you want to use samba? or u just asking? | 08:19 |
| EncRyptO | if you can use samba | 08:19 |
| avernos | just asking, i am not sure what options i have | 08:20 |
| EncRyptO | you can use nmap localhost | 08:20 |
| ryanmr | Hi. I have apache/php reading from a directory in my accounts home directory, but PHP can't write files in that dir because I own them. How would I fix that? | 08:20 |
| EncRyptO | wait, not that, | 08:20 |
| EncRyptO | first do route -n | 08:21 |
| EncRyptO | find the gateway ip | 08:21 |
| nubfilter | ryanmr: you could add the apache user to your group | 08:21 |
| EncRyptO | then do nmap gateway ip/24 | 08:21 |
| ryanmr | nubfilter : and that is www-data, I think. How would I do that? | 08:21 |
| nubfilter | ryanmr: and make sure to chmod to give group permissions | 08:21 |
| EncRyptO | such as 192.168.0.1/24 | 08:21 |
| EncRyptO | nmap 192.168.0.1/24 | 08:22 |
| au_fait | I sure do wish I could downgrade and not loose all the effort | 08:22 |
| avernos | EncRyptO, thanks let me try :) | 08:22 |
| nubfilter | ryanmr: dont know exact syntax off hand but it's something like useradd -G apacheuser yourgroup | 08:22 |
| nubfilter | i would consult google | 08:22 |
| nubfilter | then, make sure to chmod g+w to that directory | 08:22 |
| ryanmr | Ok, I'll try that. Thanks! | 08:22 |
| nubfilter | and apache can then write to it | 08:23 |
| somsip | ryanmr: the proper way is to setup Apazche mod_userdir | 08:23 |
| nubfilter | BUT | 08:23 |
| nubfilter | be warned apache will now have read access to your home directory and anything under your group | 08:23 |
| nubfilter | ryanmr: yes somsipis correct, or create a /var/www/yoursite folder and use that | 08:24 |
| somsip | ryanmr: with the /var/ww/yoursite probably being simplest on a one-user system | 08:24 |
| ryanmr | nubfilter : the problem I had with that is /var/www requires special permissons for me and it's harder to share via samba through the network | 08:24 |
| somsip | ryanmr: you want others to be able to write to your www dir over samba? <shudder> | 08:25 |
| nubfilter | ryanmr you probably want to do the following: | 08:25 |
| nubfilter | create a folder /var/www/testsite | 08:25 |
| ryanmr | Over samba, my /ryan/www directory is writable, so I can code on windows and serve on ubuntu | 08:25 |
| nubfilter | create a group for the site | 08:26 |
| faLUCE | Hi. I'm creating my own distro, ubuntu based. Unfortunately, when I customize it using a chroot environment, I can't start services. For example: after installing samba, I executed "service smbd start" but it returns an error. This happens in a chroot environment and doesn't happen in a normal environment. How can I solve? thanks | 08:26 |
| faLUCE | [09:25] <faLUCE> the same thing happens with mysql, for example | 08:26 |
| nubfilter | then add yourself AND apache to it | 08:26 |
| somsip | ryanmr: fair rnough. not awfully scary then | 08:26 |
| nubfilter | then configure FTP and use FTP to access the site remotely, samba or webdav is a horrendous way to do it | 08:26 |
| nubfilter | this way you have a local copy on your windows machine, and you deploy it to your test environment | 08:27 |
| ryanmr | FTP really sucks, compared to edit -> save, alt+tab -> refresh | 08:27 |
| somsip | ryanmr: side question - what IDE do you use? | 08:27 |
| ryanmr | With FTP, there's all this transfering | 08:27 |
| nubfilter | your IDE doesn't deploy on save? | 08:27 |
| ryanmr | Just notepad++? | 08:27 |
| somsip | nubfilter: tada! | 08:27 |
| ryanmr | :) | 08:27 |
| nubfilter | if you want that, use apache on your local windows machine | 08:28 |
| nubfilter | check out WAMP | 08:28 |
| somsip | ryanmr: ok - a nice but more complicate approach is to keep your source in a safe dir, and setup something (IDE, make file, whateveR) to copy any files over to /var/www on save | 08:28 |
| ryanmr | That would be scary. | 08:28 |
| abhinav_singh | how do i add existing user to group | 08:28 |
| somsip | ryanmr: but maybe overkill so I'l shut up | 08:29 |
| somsip | abhinav_singh: usermod -a -G {group} Puser} | 08:29 |
| ryanmr | well, it's not overkill, it's just a little cumbersome. but as a side note, what IDE do you suggest? | 08:29 |
| geirha | abhinav_singh: sudo adduser username groupname | 08:29 |
| somsip | ryanmr: each to their own. I use Netbeans | 08:29 |
| nubfilter | somsip has apoint, if you're going to be planning on doing any work for a larger company, best get in the habit of deploying code to a server... use a local (on yoru windows machien) for your in progress development then deploy to the server to fully test. | 08:29 |
| abhinav_singh | but username is already a existing user geirha | 08:30 |
| ryanmr | nubfilter : when I work away from home, I totally checkout with git do the traditional things | 08:30 |
| geirha | abhinav_singh: Yes. | 08:30 |
| somsip | ryanmr: but then you can get to 'have a local svn/git repo, and auto deploy from them with hooks' so your' committing to svn/git from linux or windows | 08:30 |
| somsip | ryanmr: ah - so local git server may be a workable solution | 08:31 |
| geirha | abhinav_singh: «Add an existing user to an existing group. If called with two non-option arguments, adduser will add an existing user to an existing group.» - man adduser | 08:31 |
| somsip | abhinav_singh: told you once - usermod -a -G {group} {user} | 08:31 |
| ryanmr | well, thanks guys. I'll go try those ideas. | 08:32 |
| somsip | ryanmr: I appreciate this has probably made it more complicated than you wanted it to be :) | 08:33 |
| ryanmr | yeah, pretty much :) | 08:33 |
| OS-7871 | hi all , anyone installed ubuntu on sony vpc z217 | 08:33 |
| somsip | ryanmr: if you want to do the quick dirty solution, chmod the dir to give www-data access and go with the security risk until you want to get a more through fix. But this is bad advice | 08:33 |
| ryanmr | I think I'll try that first | 08:34 |

| tensorpudding | it seems that whatever user is running that script does not have access to it, in any case | 08:41 |

It's not mounted in my /media or /mnt directory. | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | m eithee | 08:48 |
| tensorpudding | bcdedit is a windows tool for changing your boot | 08:48 |

| progre55 | hey guys. Any ubuntu 11.10 repositories with mysql 5.5 or 5.6? | 09:37 |
| somsip | progre55: maybe this will help http://askubuntu.com/questions/75977/mysql-5-5-ppa-trustworthy | 09:39 |
| progre55 | somsip: thanks, let me have a look at it | 09:39 |
| somsip | progre55: I will | 09:39 |
| deej1976 | progre55: there seems to be a few, but nothing official from Oracle | 09:40 |
| auronandace | AdvoWork: backups of what? | 09:40 |
| progre55 | man I'm starting to hate oracle.. | 09:40 |
| auronandace | AdvoWork: what systems do you want to have access to the backups? | 09:40 |
| zamba | i need to get h264 encoding in vlc on ubuntu 11.10.. how? | 09:40 |
| Geoffrey2 | the clock on my computer is consistantly an hour behind, even though the appropriate time zone is selected, and the option to update from the internet is selected.... | 09:42 |
| auronandace | AdvoWork: if you need both windows and linux to access the backups then ntfs is your best choice (unless you know for certain that none of the backups will exceed 4gb then you can use fat32) | 09:43 |

| AdvoWork | ive just formatted a drive as ext4, it completed the format, ive got it mounted, am in the drive(folder) but cant make any new folders or anything. Any idea please? | 09:53 |
| theadmin | AdvoWork: No access to the mountpoint for your user? | 09:54 |
| deej1976 | AdvoWork, You probably want to create a directory with sudo mkdir /mountpoint/directoryname, then give you user ownership sudo chown userid:group /mountpoint/directoryname | 09:54 |
| TrentonAdams | I'm having a problem removing a keyboard shortcut. I've got the keyboard shortcuts window open, but there doesn't appear to be a way of actually deleting a shortcut. | 09:56 |
| AdvoWork | theadmin, deej1976 got it thankyou | 09:57 |
| deej1976 | TrentonAdams, Click on the keyboard shortcut on the Right and press delete ? | 09:57 |
| TrentonAdams | deej1976: That makes the shortcut set to the delete key | 09:57 |
| deej1976 | TrentonAdams, Should delete the shortcut. I've just tried and it comes up "Disabled" | 09:59 |
| TrentonAdams | deej1976: Nope, but I clicked help. it says to hit backspace. | 09:59 |
| TrentonAdams | deej1976: Always gotta joke about how nobody reads documentation. | 10:00 |
| * skypent gets ready to ask a supremely dumb question. | 10:00 | |
| theadmin | skypent: Ask away | 10:00 |
| TrentonAdams | deej1976: As a programmer, I never stop jokin about that, and now I'm the guy doing it. :P\ | 10:00 |
| skypent | does having a high resolution continuously (1920x1080) have an adverse effect on a system? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | skypent: it drives your video card harder | 10:01 |
| TrentonAdams | skypent: yes, you must stop doing that now. | 10:01 |
| ikonia | TrentonAdams: what ? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | TrentonAdams: why must he "stop doing that" | 10:01 |
| TrentonAdams | skypent: your computer will die in like two days. No just kidding | 10:01 |
| skypent | >< | 10:01 |
| theadmin | skypent: Um, that's a bit high, of course, but it's nothing serious, just a bit of video card load. | 10:01 |
| ikonia | TrentonAdams: stop giving silly advice to people - he's asking for help, not a comedy routine | 10:01 |
| TrentonAdams | skypent: No, it shouldn't be a problem, as long as your monitor can handle that resolution. | 10:01 |
| skypent | im using a hd tv | 10:02 |
| skypent | im more worried about my comp | 10:02 |
| theadmin | skypent: Don't worry about it, it'll be fine | 10:02 |
| ikonia | skypent: most modern video cards should be fine, | 10:02 |
| skypent | alright, thanks guys :D | 10:02 |
| theadmin | skypent: Unless your video card isn't getting enough cooling for whatever reason, that is, I'd check that | 10:02 |
| skypent | hm, do modern comps come with an internal monitor for temp? | 10:02 |
| skypent | if so, is there a ubuntu program that taps into that? | 10:03 |
| theadmin | skypent: lmsensors probably | 10:03 |

| Ganeshiva | i would like to find its lib and headers so that i can modify ti | 10:23 |

| ali3n0 | hi folks. I've got an half configured package (postgres-8.4) and I'd like to fix that, but I must not restart the service. Any suggestion? | 10:45 |
| remoteCTRL | theadmin: erm... my boss was here i meant... | 10:45 |
| theadmin | remoteCTRL: lol well... Sorry about that | 10:46 |
| remoteCTRL | theadmin: well... thats just the way things are and it doesnt make too much of a difference to me whether ms messed it up or the linux community... what shall I say, millions of code lines, it is complicated... *g* | 10:47 |
| somsip | ali3n0: doesn;t postgreSQL support a soft 'reload' using sudo service ? | 10:48 |
| ali3n0 | somsip: maybe, but I'm quite sure aptitude does a stop and than a start | 10:49 |
| theadmin | remoteCTRL: Because Ubuntu and many other distros add unnecessary additions. Those GUIs make stuff heavy and confusing | 10:49 |
| somsip | ali3n0: you need to restall not just reconfigure? Hmmm.... | 10:49 |
| cousin_luigi | Hello. | 10:49 |
| cousin_luigi | Is there an easy way to remove the purple from everywhere? | 10:50 |
| iceroot | cousin_luigi: just change the theme | 10:50 |
| cousin_luigi | (boot screen, lightdm background, desktop theme)? | 10:50 |
| cousin_luigi | iceroot: how? | 10:50 |
| remoteCTRL | theadmin: gui is another completely different page... i was really only talking about the cli stuff, dude :) but lets continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 10:50 |
| iceroot | cousin_luigi: if think for these 3 you need 3 steps because the theme shoudl only affect the logged in session | 10:51 |
| cousin_luigi | iceroot: suspected as much:/ | 10:51 |
| theadmin | remoteCTRL: I hate that channel, I'd rather use a PM session if you don't mind. Also, "dude" is not a valid way to address girls. | 10:51 |
| cousin_luigi | iceroot: where can I find a list of the available themes to use on unity? | 10:51 |
| iceroot | cousin_luigi: i dont know | 10:52 |
| remoteCTRL | theadmin: first of all PM is ok for me, and secondly sorry, gal in that case :D | 10:52 |
| ali3n0 | somsip: well everything is running smoothly I just want to make aptitude stop to… try to stop postgres when I install a package | 10:52 |
| somsip | ali3n0: Are you wanting to reinstall postgres, or are you talking about a different package? | 10:53 |
| cousin_luigi | also is there a way to change the font size? | 10:54 |
| ali3n0 | somsip: I don't want to reinstall, just to fix the package status | 10:54 |
| ali3n0 | it didn't stop+start correctly, and so it is "half configured" now | 10:55 |
| somsip | ali3n0: I have no idea what you're meaning | 10:55 |
| somsip | ali3n0: but it's working smoothly? I don't follow you | 10:55 |
| pfifo | what was that SDK that ubuntu was pushing recently, I remember it had something todo with python | 10:55 |
| ali3n0 | somsip: service is working ok | 10:56 |
| ali3n0 | but dpkg is not happy: | 10:56 |
| ali3n0 | iF postgresql-8.4 | 10:56 |
| ali3n0 | this is the output of dpkg -l postgresql-8.4 | 10:56 |
| BillyJoe | How can I resize the main partition? Using Ubuntu Live CD? Some kind of "rescue CD"? Something else? | 10:56 |
| ali3n0 | point is, if I run a configure, dpkg will run post-inst scripts, and stop postgresql | 10:56 |
| ali3n0 | I don't want those post-install scripts to be run | 10:56 |
| iceroot | BillyJoe: gparted on a live-cd | 10:57 |
| BillyJoe | iceroot, okay! Is it safe? Will I need to backup all files? | 10:57 |
| iceroot | BillyJoe: its always a good idea to have a backup | 10:57 |
| iceroot | BillyJoe: not only in this case | 10:57 |
| BillyJoe | iceroot, ok thanks! | 10:58 |

| pfifo | gast2root, first check for ppa's on launchpad.net and if you cant find anything suitable you can apt-get source and compile your own | 11:07 |

| pfifo | Milan1992, ahh I see the problem, you have 'noauto' hence its not automounting | 11:11 |
| Milan1992 | just change to auto and try out? | 11:12 |

| bobalazs | so if a driver doesn't recognize the connected external monitor and i can't set the desired resolution for it, what can i do? can i set up x to maybe set an unsupported resolution? I heard x11 doesnt can bypass the bios for resolutions? Its an old s3g unichrome igp integrated graphics card and the default maximum supported is 1920x1440 - and i would like 1920x1080 -how can i go about it? Also, the extended monitor is cloned by default, | 11:13 |
| bobalazs | though not recognized in display settings- i can not see the mouse- can i get help with that also? | 11:13 |
| pfifo | Milan1992, the former | 11:13 |
| gast2root | pfifo: no .conf extension listed on dpkg and i searched /etc and /home on hidden files too... | 11:14 |
| BillyJoe | I have an ubuntu partition and a winxp partition and grub shows both.

| Milan1992 | well, it mount, but how can i unmount automaticly when i get it off the machine?:S | 11:18 |
| pfifo | bobalazs, i usually write my own xorg.conf, its rather difficult todo | 11:18 |
| pfifo | Milan1992, what do you mean by "get it off the machine" | 11:19 |
| ubuntu | pari | 11:20 |
| ubuntu | pari | 11:20 |
| Milan1992 | i put it into the drive <-mean take into the machine, and remove from drive mean get it off | 11:20 |
| pfifo | gast2root, im not sure what todo about that, it seems though, xvidcap uses an xml file for configuration, you might not have one at all. check 'man xvidcap' to see if it gives any details about configuration files | 11:20 |
| pfifo | Milan1992, it wont eject until its unmounted so its not possible to do what your trying todo | 11:21 |
| Milan1992 | im setting up a HTPC, ar something like that... And i would like to add the function to it which allow to wach films from dvd... | 11:21 |
| llutz | Milan1992: you don't mount a dvd to watch it | 11:22 |
| Milan1992 | pfifo: You say i cant get the DVD out without unmount? The DVD is in my hand and the files are in the dir | 11:23 |
| pfifo | Milan1992, you might want to make a udev rule that autostarts VLC or whatever when you insert a DVD, and then autoejects when the player closes | 11:23 |
| Milan1992 | I use a DLNA server program and its collect the files from the folder which u set. | 11:24 |

| dwarder | how do i use chm2pdf utility? | 11:27 |
| pfifo | Milan1992, well in that case I would look into udev, make it automount the DVD and then autostart a program, when that program ends the dvd unmounts and ejects | 11:28 |
| dwarder | i trued chm2pdf mychm.chm | 11:28 |
| dwarder | tried* | 11:28 |
| BlauskaerM | dwarder: You read the manual | 11:28 |
| dwarder | BlauskaerM: good answer, have you tried? | 11:28 |
| dwarder | BlauskaerM: i did | 11:28 |
| BlauskaerM | dwarder: And you still didnt get it? | 11:28 |
| pfifo | Milan1992, i have no idea about DLNA. Im saying you should make a script that mounts/plays/unmounts/ejects | 11:29 |
| Milan1992 | pfifo: but when i start the PC the DLNA server start same az a web server and be visible on the TV-s, i can see the dirs in the main folder called "film" and the program list all of the films in the dirs. i cant close the program, just turn of the pc | 11:29 |
| BlauskaerM | dwarder: Not really sure what you want to do but read this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-chm-files-into-pdf-files-in-ubuntu.html | 11:30 |

| dwarder | deej1976: in my manual it stated like you said | 11:31 |
| deej1976 | dwarder: chm2pdf --help | 11:31 |
| pfifo | Milan1992, look into udev, there might be a way to unmount if and when you eject the dvd, although, normally you cant eject a mounted drive | 11:31 |
| dwarder | deej1976: but in fact you have to chose either from --book or -webpage | 11:31 |

| BetaArk | ikonia: the onboard one. Intel HD | 11:59 |
| ikonia | BetaArk: ok - so in what way are the graphics "poor" | 11:59 |
| Rickyfox | okay, calm this time. What could cause a temporary error with the bootloader? | 11:59 |

| ikonia | BetaArk: possibly, | 12:03 |
| Rickyfox | okay it just occured once up until now, as I described I did nothing exceptional the last time I was logged in. But on the next boot the bootloader seems to have problems finding bootable partitions, so he asks me to reboot and select a partition or boot from another source. | 12:03 |
| ikonia | Rickyfox: was that error from the motherboard booting eg: "can't find bootable device" or something like that | 12:03 |
| BetaArk | ikonia: oke, thanks.. will paste the lspci | 12:04 |
| MonkeyDust | Rickyfox are you using that same pc to chat, or can you reboot and say what happens | 12:04 |
| Rickyfox | I used my 10.10 live stick (my main partition is also 10.10) and tried to check for errors, but got an error stating that ubi-language crashed with error 100. Some minutes later I restart and boot from harddrive and everything is fine | 12:04 |
| Rickyfox | eh don't know ikonia, could be | 12:04 |
| ikonia | Rickyfox: a possible option is that the motherboard is trying to boot the disk before it's spun up | 12:04 |
| ikonia | Rickyfox: some bios's have a "delay boot for X seconds" option to counter this, especially in machines with lots of disks | 12:05 |

| box | hello | 12:50 |
| box | i'm having a problem with the screen on my netbook. nothing seems to fit my resolution and i can't increase it any more | 12:50 |
| davorlozic01 | Hi box. Have you installed drivers? | 12:51 |
| no_gravity | Hello from Germany! In ubuntu 11, it seems when i quit firefox, it somehow still occupies the top menu bar. when i go there with the mouse, i still see "file bookmarks" etc. any ideas? is there no more taskbar, where you can see wich applications are running? | 12:51 |
| no_gravity | Oh, and when I try to click on the menu bar, nothing happens. | 12:52 |
| davorlozic01 | Go to System Monitor. | 12:52 |
| box | davorlozic01 it's the correct drivers and maximum supported resolution 1024x600 | 12:52 |
| no_gravity | davorlozic01: me? | 12:52 |
| davorlozic01 | There you have list of opened application. | 12:52 |
| davorlozic01 | Yes. | 12:52 |
| no_gravity | davorlozic01: where is the system monitor? | 12:52 |
| schnuffle | box: check your graphic card: lspci | grep VGA and then check if the correct drivers are installed | 12:52 |
| box | some applications don't have scrollbars like thunderbirds preferences so i'm wondering how anyone else in similar situations gets by? | 12:53 |
| no_gravity | davorlozic01: i only have a couple of application icons on the left (firefox, openoffice...) and thats it. | 12:53 |
| no_gravity | in older ubuntus, i used to hit ALT+F1 to get to the main menu. Is that not possible anymore in Ubuntu 11? | 12:53 |
| davorlozic01 | Go to the first icon (like start). | 12:53 |
| davorlozic01 | Then, write System Monitor. | 12:53 |
| davorlozic01 | Then in System Monitor, go to processes. | 12:54 |
| davorlozic01 | THere is the list of running processes. | 12:54 |
| no_gravity | davorlozic01: the one with the ubuntu sign? it reads "dash home" when i hover it. nothing happens when i click it. | 12:54 |
| box | never mind; this is a sufficient solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1839692 | 12:54 |
| davorlozic01 | Hmm... | 12:55 |
| davorlozic01 | Well... You have to find it somehow... Use search somewhere... The app is System Monitor. How will you find it? I don't know. :) | 12:56 |
| no_gravity | i have been using ubuntu 11 for a few days now and for me its a complete mess. is there a way to get back to the old behaviour? | 12:56 |
| davorlozic01 | You mean the old look? | 12:56 |
| iceroot | no_gravity: only with a reinstall, downgrade is not possible | 12:57 |
| davorlozic01 | sudo apt-get install gnome-panel | 12:57 |
| davorlozic01 | Then you will get on startup to choose. | 12:57 |
| pfifo | no_gravity, you might want to try xubuntu instead apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 12:57 |

| ubottu | davorlozic01: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 12:57 |
| kandros | no_gravity, there are some workaround but is not the same... just reinstall 11.04 or 10.04 till they are supported | 12:57 |
| no_gravity | pfifo: let me google that... | 12:57 |
| davorlozic01 | ubottu: I'm sorry. :D | 12:58 |
| ubottu | davorlozic01: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:58 |
| pfifo | no_gravity, it looks and feels like ubuntu 10.04 | 12:58 |
| davorlozic01 | XD | 12:58 |
| atruno- | hi bazhang | 12:59 |
| kandros | why go to xubuntu 10.04 stay updated for 1 year + | 12:59 |
| no_gravity | kandros: why reinstall 11.04? | 13:00 |
| auronandace | !lts | kandros | 13:00 |
| ubottu | kandros: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 13:00 |
| pfifo | cant wait for 12.04 | 13:00 |
| no_gravity | or maybe i will give debian a try. havent used it for years. | 13:01 |
| kandros | i know i just wrote very bad what i had in mind, i was meaning if no_gravity likes 10.04 is smarter to stay there till 2013 instead of use xubuntu 11.10 | 13:02 |

| signal0 | did anyone knows about that problem: we've bought a new lenovo laptop. the touchpad has no "special" buttons for right and left click. so it's not possible to "click and drag" something | 13:05 |
| pfifo | signal0, tap and taphold | 13:06 |
| pfifo | signal0, you might be out of luck with a rightmouse drag tho | 13:07 |
| signal0 | pfifo: hm... so thats an known issue? | 13:08 |
| pfifo | signal0, no it isnt, i haven't ever heard of a touchpad without buttons before | 13:08 |
| no_gravity | signal0: a lenovo without mouse buttons? | 13:09 |
| no_gravity | signal0: which lenovo is it? | 13:10 |
| signal0 | it has mouse buttons... the whole touchpad is a button ;) | 13:10 |
| signal0 | but when i "click" it and drag, it's not working | 13:10 |
| signal0 | lenovo e420s | 13:11 |
| BarkingFish | signal0: just a thought, how many fingers is the touchpad designed to recognise at one time? | 13:11 |
| signal0 | BarkingFish: two finger scrolling works | 13:11 |
| dyd | no_gravity: thanks | 13:11 |
| no_gravity | signal0: the photos of the e420s i see all have mouse buttons. | 13:11 |
| BarkingFish | Some can have up to 3 recognised | 13:12 |
| benoliver999 | I have shortcuts to Pictures, Videos, Ubuntu One, Documents etc... on my desktop. When I delete the shortcuts, it deletes the files for real! How can I get rid of these? | 13:12 |

| Strav | Hi! Ah, speaking about lenovo. I'm on a lenovo x200, and since a few weeks, I'm experiencing random loss of my network interfaces. What happens is: on a sudden (more especially after a resume from suspend, but not always), the wireless indicator just switch off. Then ifconfig says: nada, not even the ethernet interface is showing up. /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't help either. Besides, I still cannot find any related bug on | 13:12 |
| Strav | launchpad. Any suggestions? | 13:12 |
| signal0 | the touchpad self is a mousbutton too | 13:12 |
| no_gravity | signal0: now i understand. | 13:13 |
| * no_gravity is on lenovo x301 and loves it! | 13:13 | |
| raven_ | how to install routes to openbve? | 13:13 |
| signal0 | hmm. | 13:14 |
| pfifo | benoliver999, use `unlink` | 13:15 |
| Strav | no_gravity: please don't make me jealous. ;) But still the x301 is too big for my taste. | 13:15 |
| benoliver999 | pfifo: How? | 13:16 |
| no_gravity | Strav: the x200 is smaller? | 13:16 |
| Strav | 12" of screen diagonal. Not thinner though. | 13:17 |
| pfifo | benoliver999, unlink /home/ben/Pictures | 13:17 |

| benoliver999 | pfifo: Thanks man | 13:19 |
| Kurdistan | hi will the stable kernel 3.1 find its way to 11.10? | 13:19 |

| Applesouce | Hey I have a question, is it possible to go into a Terminal-Stage with Ubuntu without the GUI | 13:21 |
| pfifo | BillyJoe, I remember seeing a bulk rename tool in synaptic in 8.04 | 13:21 |
| Applesouce | like in Backtrack? | 13:21 |
| Kurdistan | rumpel, I know it is not rolling release but it is still in mainline kernel | 13:21 |
| Strav | no_gravity: check out the keyboard on the x120e | 13:21 |
| aperture | Applesouce: cntrl+alt+f1-f6 will put you in a terminal without invoking the gui | 13:21 |
| Strav | So anyone experiencing loss of network interface, recently, on ubuntu 11.10? | 13:22 |

| Busybyeski | hi guys, i've got a question. it's my first time ever trying to use ssh, and maybe i oughtn't be using ssh but someone convinced me it was the best option. i just want to share files from one machine to another. the machine that has the files is running ubuntu liveusb and the files are mounted, but on a different disk. i can ssh in (woo!) but i can't get to the external drives. any suggestions or am i going about this wrong? | 13:24 |
| Black | Kurdistan can you give specific details? | 13:24 |
| iceroot | aaron32: but you can enable your brain, with an enabled brain you dont have to read every rule | 13:24 |

| aaron32 | iceroot, Don't insult me. | 13:25 |

| iceroot | ubuntu-partial-u: if it tells " a new ubuntu release is availbe" it will go to 10.10 | 13:50 |
| iceroot | ubuntu-partial-u: but normal updates never update the ubuntu-version they just bring secuerity-updates | 13:50 |
| ubuntu-partial-u | @iceroot: i've used versions 11.04 and 11.10, and prefer to stick to 10.04. so as long as it doesn't change the version, i don't mind updating. the software settings are set to LTS updates only. the message is about general updates, which i'll paste a screenshot. | 13:51 |
| iceroot | ubuntu-partial-u: if it is set to "lts only" you dont have to be afraif | 13:52 |
| iceroot | ubuntu-partial-u: because there is no newer lts (stable) at the moment | 13:52 |
| Yanch0 | iceroot, should i get network-manager again ? | 13:54 |
| Sid0035 | ok i have to swich to the new version of debain code named "Sid", im using ubuntu 11.10 and i need to transfer all of my programs and files i need that i have gotten in the past 5 days or so, also some files that i have created and will need on the new debain Code named "Sid" | 13:54 |
| ubuntu-partial-u | @iceroot: heres the message: http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/9653/ubuntumsg.png | 13:54 |
| Sid0035 | but i have no cd's or any thing to externaly back my the data i need up :( | 13:54 |
| pfifo | Sid0035, use scp or nfs to transfer them to a different box | 13:55 |
| jita | Which mail server should i use which is easier to configure | 13:55 |
| pfifo | jita, exim4 | 13:56 |
| pfifo | exim4-light | 13:56 |
| Sid0035 | so can i use my ubuntu one account on the new Debain system that? | 13:56 |
| iceroot | Yanch0: i am not sure if network-manager can do it | 13:56 |
| DannyButterman | deej1976: as a matter of fact, it doesn't work either ( /etc/network/if-down.d/) | 13:56 |
| Gentoo64 | Sid0035: just backup the configs and reinstall the progs | 13:56 |
| Gentoo64 | Sid0035: although the versions might be different | 13:56 |
| Gentoo64 | and might have idfferent config options | 13:56 |
| iceroot | ubuntu-partial-u: what is the output of "dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | grep -v ^rc" | 13:56 |
| pfifo | ubuntu-partial-u, I can see in the background that its holding back linux-generic, this is because kernel version 3.0 just came out, you can safely ignore that message, you dont need to upgrade to 3.0 | 13:59 |
| timposey | BarkingFish, the screen would not appear using the Esc key | 14:01 |
| pfifo | ubuntu-partial-u, more specifically you can run partial upgrade, it will install all the updates except the new kernel, you would still have 10.04lts afterwards | 14:01 |
| BarkingFish | try holding it down until you see "GRUB Loading" appear, timposey | 14:01 |
| ubuntu-partial-u | @pfifo: ok, i'll run the upgrade. thanks | 14:02 |
| sam22 | hello | 14:03 |
| Sid0035 | so um will i have access ubuntu one on the new system if thats a yes i can store my saves non programs there also right? | 14:03 |
| sam22 | i have xorg-server 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.3 installed.. how to install xorg-server 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.2 | 14:04 |
| DannyButterman | Can someone help me using the /etc/network/if-down.d feature ? so far I can't make it run a script of mine. It can't even log what happens though it does when ran in command line | 14:04 |
| timposey | BarkingFish, nothing it just goes straight through to the login screen and it has never done this before | 14:05 |
| Yanch0 | anyone can guide me through my wifi problem please? | 14:05 |
| BarkingFish | hm... | 14:05 |
| === david is now known as Guest85484 | ||
| BarkingFish | I can't think what's up then, timposey - I never have that problem. I hit escape, get my kernel menu, hit enter and I'm off.... | 14:05 |
| Sid0035 | man i suck in chat rooms XD | 14:06 |
| pfifo | timposey, BarkingFish, you need to boot and then hold down SHIFT to get to the grub menu | 14:06 |
| GaRRu | How can I compile EXE files into Language Codes that can be read? using Kubuntu 11.04. Any Compiler? | 14:07 |
| GaRRu | Yanch0, What is your problem with WiFi? | 14:07 |
| BarkingFish | pfifo: I was originally told to use Escape, and that works here. | 14:07 |
| Yanch0 | GaRRu, can't find some good documentation on wpa_supplicant on ubuntu oneirc | 14:07 |
| BarkingFish | If it's the wrong information, I have this channel to thank for it. I came here first when I joined Kubuntu, cause I didn't know it had a channel. | 14:08 |
| GaRRu | Yanch0, Answer me in Pm | 14:08 |
| pfifo | GaRRu, what are you trying todo with exe files? | 14:09 |
| Yanch0 | GaRRu, u sure its better not talking in channel? | 14:09 |
| sam22 | guys how to configure Xorg | 14:09 |
| GaRRu | Yanch0, I need this channel for my question too. | 14:09 |
| pfifo | GaRRu, maybe your looking for something like this http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/alien-autopsy-reverse-engineering-win32-trojans-linux | 14:10 |
| iceroot | sam22: normally with /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:10 |
| GaRRu | pfifo, I got an Exe File that I want to read what is inside that file, do you know any way to compile it to a readable language? | 14:10 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: not possible | 14:10 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: only reverse-engineering | 14:10 |
| GaRRu | iceroot, why not? | 14:10 |
| Sid0035 | dont know about u guys but i do way better when i have been up all night just talking in TS3 XD | 14:10 |
| GaRRu | iceroot, so it is possible | 14:11 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: because you cant get source-code from binarys | 14:11 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: its not | 14:11 |
| pfifo | GaRRu, you can decompile it to assembly, and you can 'read' assembly so to speak | 14:11 |
| Sid0035 | but i cant rember any of my old server to join form when i had windows :( | 14:11 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: you can get asm-code but no c code or something like that | 14:11 |
| usr13 | iceroot: GaRRu I'm a latecomer to this conversation but, why not use wine? | 14:12 |
| iceroot | usr13: what? | 14:12 |
| GaRRu | iceroot, pfifo, I said a language that is read to man kind, that includes ASM,C,C++,Java,C# etc etc.. | 14:12 |
| iceroot | usr13: reread the discussion | 14:12 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: have fun to read big programs in asm | 14:12 |
| GaRRu | usr13, I am not trying to make the exe file work.. I am trying to read what there is in it | 14:12 |
| pfifo | GaRRu, well check out that link i gave you, you can decompile following their method | 14:13 |
| GaRRu | iceroot, anyway to compile it to asm? | 14:13 |
| usr13 | GaRRu: Oh. Not sure where to go with that.... | 14:13 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: as i said, reverse-engineering | 14:13 |
| GaRRu | pfifo, I will, Thanks for now. iceroot, how? | 14:13 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: Disassembling with a Disassembler | 14:13 |
| pfifo | GaRRu, what do you want to get out of the file? | 14:14 |
| rs0832 | GaRRu, you can have a look at http://boomerang.sourceforge.net and see if it suits you | 14:14 |
| Gentoo64 | is this not offtopic | 14:14 |
| Sid0035 | i think he wants teddy bears :D | 14:14 |
| pfifo | GaRRu, you might be able to use a program similiar to PEExplorer to extract a resource in it | 14:15 |
| GaRRu | pfifo, What is that? a software? | 14:15 |
| pfifo | GaRRu, ask google, its kinda hard to explan, and this is off topic | 14:16 |
| Sid0035 | i forgot the topic of this chat long 5 mins ago | 14:16 |
| Sid0035 | that's what happens when ya cant sleep XD | 14:17 |
| GaRRu | pfifo, I'm trying to get out from it a reasonable way to bypass an administrator password on Windows XP/7 OS, or bypass the useage of clicking on "Run as Administrator" at all.. just running another Exe File | 14:17 |
| Gentoo64 | GaRRu: ask in windows lol | 14:17 |
| Gentoo64 | and to bypass uac for exes, use task scheduler | 14:17 |
| Gentoo64 | but this isnt exactly ubuntu related :) | 14:18 |
| GaRRu | Gentoo64 explaine please? | 14:18 |
| === sentinel is now known as Guest16312 | ||
| Gentoo64 | google windows 7 bypass uac task scheduler | 14:18 |
| Gentoo64 | thats all | 14:19 |
| Sid0035 | brb i think people are hiding the cookies i saw a few days ago XD | 14:19 |
| GaRRu | Gentoo64, I will check it out now. just need a backgroud how it is done (That's why I wanted a Exe compiler) | 14:20 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: you dont want a compiler | 14:20 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: you want a decompiler | 14:20 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: but trust me, you dont want that!!! | 14:21 |
| Gentoo64 | GaRRu: seriously ill get kicked, but basically task scheduler allows to run any program as superuser, without the uac prompt popping up, by making a shortcut | 14:21 |
| iceroot | GaRRu: just buy your windows, dont put offtopic in this channel and so on | 14:21 |
| pfifo | Gentoo64, that sounds secure | 14:21 |
| GaRRu | iceroot, I know what your talking about xD I tried reading files of ASM codes, some took me ages. and yeah a decompiler :P | 14:21 |
| Gentoo64 | well, you do need admin access to access task scheduler... | 14:22 |

| mxracer450 | Hello all, was wondering if anyone could take the time to help an ubuntu n00b get his sound working again? | 14:23 |
| usr13 | mxracer450: aslamixer | 14:24 |
| GaRRu | Iceroot, pfifo, Gentoo64, Thank you for your kind help. Ill be checking all the stuff you brought me right now. | 14:24 |
| usr13 | !sound | mxracer450 | 14:24 |
| ubottu | mxracer450: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 14:24 |
| mxracer450 | thank you. My settings in sound preferences are correct | 14:24 |
| mxracer450 | Nothing has changed...just recently stopped working. I will check these links though. | 14:24 |
| usr13 | mxracer450: What does alsamixer say? | 14:26 |
| mxracer450 | usr13: im not sure what your referring to | 14:27 |
| Sid0035 | so any one have a ts server that has used the debain "sid" version and saw if they had actcess to ubuntu one working in that program? i need to use it to hold stuff but i wont bother with that code version if i cant take all my files with me that i need to have XD | 14:27 |
| usr13 | mxracer450: Open a terminal and type alsamixer hit enter. First look in upper left corner to see that your sound card is identified properly. | 14:29 |
| mxracer450 | gotchya....one sec | 14:29 |
| Milan1992-ubuntu | Hi again. A made a mistake and i cant edit the /etc/fstab, read/only and cant use chmod on it... How can i repair the files, with live cd? | 14:29 |

| jclbrt | just a dedicated fiber hand off | 14:32 |
| jclbrt | like 100 miles | 14:32 |
| usr13 | mxracer450: move right to left with right and left arrows. Raise volume level with up arrow. | 14:32 |
| sam22 | 50 miles | 14:32 |
| sam22 | so 1 ms for each mile | 14:32 |
| sam22 | amazing | 14:32 |

| sam22 | one wy ? | 14:35 |
| Milan1992-ubuntu | iceroot: can i do it from livecd or i should do it from the original systam, and how? | 14:35 |

I didn't change anything from when it was working yesterday. Are there some logs to check? Or can I make gnome rebuild a config file or something? | 15:49 |
| MonkeyDust | omid__ nice, but did you do sudo apt-get upate | 15:49 |
| omid__ | usr13, i dont have it | 15:49 |
| omid__ | MonkeyDust, i did a full system update after that | 15:50 |

| omid__ | please help me in installing ATI propritary Drivers using .run installer from AMD website. (i had problems with installing my drivers using ubuntu's additional drivers tool) | 15:51 |
| usr13 | omid__: I thought those would have been enabled when you installed restricted-extras and not sure why not.... | 15:52 |

| usr13 | omid__: Now that you have restricted enabled, you can do it through the package manager. | 15:52 |
| omid__ | usr13, maybe because i changed the download server manually | 15:52 |
| omid__ | usr13, when i tried installing additional drivers on 32 bit it faild and showed errors . then i moved to 64 bit and now i want to install the drivers | 15:53 |
| omid__ | i have downloaded the official drivers from AMD's website. | 15:53 |
| omid__ | arent they safe? isnt AMD website safe? | 15:53 |
| usr13 | omid__: System -> Aditional Drivers | 15:53 |
| jutnux | \o everybody | 15:54 |
| usr13 | omid__: Go on and do it then, suit yourself. (But my advise to you is to let the package manager do it for you.) | 15:54 |
| usr13 | omid__: You are always better off to use the package manager and there are several reasons why. | 15:55 |
| omid__ | there is 2 options. one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver(post-release updates) and the other one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver. | 15:55 |
| omid__ | which one should i install? | 15:55 |

| omid__ | i hope i dont get that error this time | 15:55 |
| usr13 | omid__: hope you dont either. | 15:56 |
| soreau | omid__: You dont need to install the proprietary driver at all since the default is the open radeon driver | 15:56 |
| omid__ | which one should i install? | 15:56 |
| usr13 | omid__: I dono | 15:56 |
| omid__ | soreau, i'm sorry to say that but opensource drivers for ATI cards SUCK BIG TIME. too much system heat and power usage for me | 15:56 |
| usr13 | Just pick one | 15:56 |

| === psharmor is now known as tekoholic | ||
| omid__ | ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 | 15:57 |
| soreau | omid__: You can choose deferent power profiles for the driver | 15:57 |
| meganerd | omid__: the radeon driver works great on my 5770 and 4890 | 15:57 |
| Peachez | Hi. I was messing with startup applications and broke something. I can only boot with terminal. How do I navigate to the file where startup data is contained. Thanks in advance :) | 15:57 |
| omid__ | can you guys please help me which one of the drivers should i install | 15:57 |
| meganerd | omid__: better than the fglrx driver | 15:58 |
| omid__ | there is 2 options. one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver(post-release updates) and the other one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver. | 15:58 |

| omid__ | meganerd, too much system heat , fan noise and power usage when using opensource drivers. also some games like Glest and Quack arena were slower compared to when using FGLRX drivers | 16:00 |
| usr13 | omid__: So install "ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver" See how it works. | 16:00 |
| === rhinq is now known as rhino | ||
| omid__ | thnx i'm installing it . i hope it dosnt fail | 16:01 |
| meganerd | omid__: how did you test the heat and noise? I noticed no difference on either of my cards (the 4890 is a jet engine at the best of times) | 16:01 |
| omid__ | thankyou guys for your help | 16:01 |
| Peachez | In that case, have you any idea where the file will be that contains the startup application data so i can have a look to remove it? | 16:01 |
| usr13 | omid__: As I said before, I hope it doesn't either. | 16:01 |

| usr13 | Peachez: If we knew what you did, we might be able to give you some specific advise. | 16:06 |
| usr13 | Peachez: But you could try: sudo service gdm start | 16:06 |
| Yanch0 | not an option im afraid .. has to be wifi | 16:08 |
| usr13 | Peachez: If you could give us some specific details about what you've done, we might be able to give you specific advise on how to undue it. | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | Yanch0, whynot? | 16:08 |
| usr13 | Peachez: Did you follow instructions from some website? Or...? | 16:09 |
| Peachez | gdm service is already running. I wanted Sabnzbd to run at startup, so i went to startup applications and pasteted in the path to what i thought would run it, i cant remember off the top of my head what the exact line was, as i now cant get in, i will restart my linux machine and give the exact message on screen, one moment | 16:10 |
| Yanch0 | BluesKaj, no network cable and not much bothered to do ethernet over power when it is next room to the wifi router. when it works it has a 80% signal quality | 16:10 |

| usr13 | Peachez: You should find sabnzbdplus in the package manager. (If you use the package manager to install, you have far fewer problems.) | 16:13 |
| usr13 | Peachez: Or DID you install sabnzbd from the package manager? | 16:14 |
| Peachez | i installed sabnzbdplus following the guide on their wiki a few days ago, but as im using this machine as a server i wanted to it run automatically, hence playing around. | 16:14 |

| pneftali | theadmin, yeah - i did sublime-text-2 in the command line and the editor opened.. but when i type locate sublime-text-2 nothing returns | 16:17 |
| Peachez | maybe, but as stated, its worked flawlessly for 4 days, only now when i messed soemthing up i nthe application startup has it broke | 16:17 |
| theadmin | pneftali: I tell you, "which sublime-text-2" | 16:17 |
| usr13 | Peachez: Some of what that page tells you to do may be un-necessary for today's Ubuntu systems. | 16:17 |
| theadmin | pneftali: This is a command, run it | 16:17 |
| caotic_ | omid__: adobe acrobat is a brand of pdf readers, which does not provide a linux version reader AFAIK | 16:17 |
| omid__ | soreau, i need them . evince sucks and okular is good but they dont show complicated PDF files like 3d pdfs and pdf's containing audio which i use in my job | 16:18 |
| omid__ | caotic_, in opensuse i had adobe reader | 16:18 |

| magnold | if I connect a TV to the HDMI out at the graphics card as a second monitor, I assume it will use 60Hz and 1920×1080? will it still be possible to have the screens Cloned (same image on both screen) ? will it just cut off some pixels at the bottom, and have some more to the right? I use 1600x1200 @75Hz on my computer monitor (crt). | 16:18 |

| usr13 | Peachez: Yea, if you could find where you got instructions for adding it to startup we might be able to see what has been done. | 16:20 |

| Scrivnr | Btw: If any of ya get frustrated with trying to get IPsec ssh connections to work easily in Ubuntu, forticlient is very good and simple. | 16:34 |
| Scrivnr | ikonia: But whether it's a bug or not, if I can simply add my own command to an icon in the launcher it would be good. | 16:35 |
| Peachez | well this is the issue, i added it to the startup applications via the gui, now i cant even get to the login screen, so i need to know where the startup information is located so i can edit via terminal | 16:35 |
| usr13 | Scrivnr: forticlient? | 16:35 |
| ikonia | Scrivnr: right click on the launcher, find the target see if it is a file that is editible | 16:35 |

| Yanch0 | random8737, the key should be in double quotes? coz i am getting error for wireless request set encode | 16:46 |
| MonkeyDust | Con as it is a minimal installation, maybe you have to install the gui manually | 16:46 |
| Scrivnr | deej1976: Oh. Nevermind, then. | 16:46 |
| Scrivnr | Spoil my fun ;) | 16:46 |
| Scrivnr | When is that set to release? | 16:46 |
| * Scrivnr does not know when 11.10 released. | 16:46 | |
| Con | MonkeyDust: Didn't I do that by installing the package 'unity' with it's enourmous list of dependencies? | 16:46 |
| auronandace | bobalazs: technically you don't uninstall, you just delete the partition (or reformat it) | 16:46 |

| cmihai | Ubuntu LTS Server: do i need the alternate image for the debian text mode installer or is that standard for server images as well? | 17:25 |
| usr13 | Yanch0: Before the login screen? | 17:26 |

| Yanch0 | iwconfig still shows ESSID: off/any | 17:29 |
| llutz | dany:you mean because of the " LANG=C" to show messages in english? this isn't permanent, just for the command following | 17:30 |
| dany | llutz, no i installed it in frensh , but i hope i can change it to english | 17:30 |
| usr13 | Yanch0: Then why does it say: ESSID:"OpenWrt_WEP" | 17:30 |

| sskalnik | If I want to split a raw, non-debianized source into several debianized source packages, is it best to do so with "foo.install, bar.install..."? And if so, will the .install files make the "install" operations in the Makefile redundant? | 17:48 |

| yeehaw | dany: It's the right driver for the card. I'm not quite sure why it is not working. Try /etc/init.d/networking restart. You will be logged of irc for a moment | 18:29 |

| TrentonAdams | notlistening: hmm, I'll take a look. | 18:30 |
| theadmin | isbb: Probably, but idk... I think you need to remove the old kernel and install the new one with apt-get | 18:30 |
| notlistening | TrentonAdams, or changing the key combination | 18:30 |
| theadmin | isbb: err, remove the new one and reinstall it | 18:30 |

| TrentonAdams | notlistening: not sure what you mean. I have a java program that prints out keys I'm pressing, to verify shortcuts work. Because my Java IDE is not catching that shortcut. The java program that captures key presses is also not detecting the M, when I hold Ctrl-Alt. But, Ctrl-Alt-XXX works for other things. | 18:42 |
| theadmin | bluj: Might be in backports, but if not, I don't think there is one | 18:42 |
| theadmin | bluj: Just run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" manually | 18:42 |
| SoulShadow | nobody here uses a displaylink monitor do theyu? | 18:42 |
| mkanyicy | AaronCampbell, dist-upgrade updates your system including the kernel, it can sometimes remove files that can no longer be installed | 18:42 |
| bluj | theadmin: *shrug*. yeah, ill do it that way. just another nuisance to deal with </enduselessrant> | 18:43 |
| theadmin | AaronCampbell: Well, "dist-upgrade" is essentially same as "upgrade", however, if upgrades require installing new packages, "upgrade" doesn't work | 18:43 |
| yeehaw | dany: You might want to try ndiswrapper | 18:43 |
| mkanyicy | AaronCampbell, even though its called dist-upgrade it does not upgrade the distribution from one version to another, ie if you are on ubuntu 11.04, you will still be on 11.04 not end up with 11.10 | 18:44 |

| usr13 | diatomaceous: Determining what is the best nameserver for your particular connection is a matter of figuring out which is the closest, (how many hops it takes to get to it). At that point, you tell your router to use the closest (and in-turn, fastest), and then you use your router's caching nameserver for any client PCs connected to it. | 18:58 |
| diatomaceous | usr13: right, unless you've previously determined that your ISP is exceptionally slow to update | 18:59 |
| usr13 | diatomaceous: I admit that could be a factor, but I do not know why an ISP would run a defective nameserver | 19:00 |

| olimones | Hello everyone. I use Ubuntu LTS 2.6.32-36-server . I think that after and update my built in mouse pad does not work. I have google the problem and find little information about it. Can someone help? | 19:17 |
| Jordan_U | diatomaceous: Before you do anything else, if there are files on this SD card which you do not have backups for umount it, move it back to your mac, and back them up. | 19:17 |
| olimones | I have a HP dv7 | 19:17 |
| diatomaceous | Jordan_U: I think I agree.. it's just weird that it works fine in other computers but not ubuntu :[ | 19:17 |
| shovell | olimones: meee too nobody can help it seems | 19:18 |
| Jordan_U | diatomaceous: After you've backed up your files see if dosfsck offers to fix the problem. | 19:18 |
| shovell | olimones: your touchpad quit? | 19:18 |

| _John | How do I make it so that a user can only access their home directory? Nothing above it. | 19:22 |
| mrpink57 | I assume you would have to take them out of sudo | 19:23 |
| _John | How do I do that? | 19:23 |
| shovell | nope no luck there | 19:24 |
| yeehaw | John: sudo gedit /etc/sudoers | 19:24 |
| olimones | same here :) | 19:24 |
| kosmotak | hello | 19:24 |
| kosmotak | i need help | 19:24 |
| yeehaw | John: Or Vim if you know how that works | 19:24 |
| diatomaceous | kosmotak: don't we all :) | 19:24 |
| marcuy | I see my volume moving in pavcontrol but I can't hear anything from banshee.. any help??? | 19:24 |
| kosmotak | i have installed compiz on ubuntu 11.10 | 19:24 |
| Jordan_U | !gksudo | yeehaw | 19:24 |
| ubottu | yeehaw: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 19:24 |
| clear` | cant you also change the folder permissions? | 19:24 |
| kosmotak | and run compiz --replace | 19:24 |
| kosmotak | and it's crashed | 19:24 |
| kosmotak | and then i can't use default window manager for my ubuntu | 19:25 |
| marcuy | aplay -l shows card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic] | 19:25 |
| kosmotak | can anyone help me with that? | 19:25 |
| yeehaw | Jordan_U: Ok, but gedit is hardly affected by that | 19:25 |
| mrpink57 | https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html see if that helps | 19:26 |
| SunTsu | yeehaw: _John You realize that there is "visudo"? | 19:26 |
| sami__ | hey | 19:26 |
| Jordan_U | _John: A user which can't access anything but their home directory can't function. Directories like /bin/ and /etc/ are needed. For about as close as you can probably come to what you want see Ubuntu's guest account. | 19:26 |
| kosmotak | @diatomaceus can you help me to run default window manager for my ubuntu 11.10? | 19:26 |
| kosmotak | or anyone | 19:26 |
| kosmotak | ? | 19:26 |
| yeehaw | SunTsu: Yeah, but i don't like explaining how vim works | 19:26 |
| sami__ | im just installed ubuntu on my dell inspiron 1440 | 19:27 |
| diatomaceous | kosmotak: I'm pretty bad with compiz problems, sorry | 19:27 |
| sami__ | and im using empathyand i can't see mt contact's display pic | 19:27 |
| sami__ | and they can't see mine either | 19:27 |
| sami__ | *empathy and | 19:27 |
| shovell | is there a irc channel for linux kernel help? | 19:28 |
| Jordan_U | yeehaw: Indeed, I hadn't even considered that you shouldn't use just a text editor when editing /etc/sudoers. visudo in Ubuntu defaults to using nano (it is *not* just a command that runs vi as root). | 19:28 |
| kosmotak | i don't have problem with compiz i want to stop it and run something other called unity | 19:28 |
| sami__ | think it's called #kernel | 19:28 |
| SunTsu | yeehaw: yeah, understandably | 19:28 |
| shovell | ill look thanks | 19:28 |
| sami__ | can anyone help? | 19:28 |
| mrpink57 | kosmotak: http://www.fossapps.com/2011/11/09/how-to-install-gnome-3-desktop-on-ubuntu-11-10/ see if that helps | 19:28 |
| olimones | shovell: what version are you using? on what machine? | 19:28 |
| xsaidx | hello guys | 19:28 |
| xsaidx | anyone kno any tool to unlock 3g modems ?? | 19:29 |
| SunTsu | Jordan_U: visudo defaults to whatever $EDITOR or $VISUAL are set to | 19:29 |
| Jordan_U | SunTsu: Which, in Ubuntu, is nano. | 19:29 |
| kosmotak | thanks i'll try that | 19:29 |
| SunTsu | xsaidx: unlock as in what? | 19:30 |
| xsaidx | SunTsu: as in make it use other sim cards to connect to the net cus now ican use the sim i bought it with | 19:31 |
| BarkingFish | xsaidx: Just be aware that if you unlock a 3G modem, it will still only work on the network you bought it for. Most of them have the network software built in, and it's unlikely to allow a different sim to work, regardless | 19:31 |
| mrpink57 | what you could simply do is not add the user to wheel then just enable it in visudo, they will be able to go around but have no permission to make any changes since they cannot sudo | 19:31 |
| === abdi is now known as xukun | ||
| Ubuntu93 | #ubuntu-es | 19:32 |
| mrpink57 | SunTsu: it defaults to vi unless you add it to EDITOR as "terminal" visudo | 19:32 |
| xsaidx | BarkingFish: and is there any risk at doin this ?? | 19:33 |
| shovell | olimones: it is a toshiba satellite c655d-s5126 | 19:33 |
| kosmotak | how much space requires gnome 3? | 19:33 |
| SunTsu | xsaidx: that's hardly an ubuntu issue, you might want to search some wthe web for how that is done - and make sure that your contract allows for it | 19:33 |

| monsterwizard | is there anyway to download ubuntu 10;04.x using wubi | 19:34 |
| monsterwizard | because I can only install the lastest version | 19:34 |
| saulus | after installing ubuntu 10.10 (and maybe after installing also gnome3) I find my screen not being updated completely. Often huge parts are not up to date. Is this a known bug? | 19:34 |
| Jordan_U | kosmotak: How do you define "GNOME3"? All the standard components as defined by the GNOME project, all the standard components as defined by Ubuntu, GNOME Shell, something else? | 19:34 |
| BarkingFish | xsaidx: The main issue is that you could simply wind up with a dead modem, and a waste of money. | 19:34 |
| xsaidx | SunTsu: no worries about the contract im from morroco this country sux balls realy hard in this so yeah | 19:34 |
| BarkingFish | Effectively, not so much a housebrick, more a doorwedge. | 19:34 |
| === graviton is now known as TimR | ||
| kosmotak | never mind i got it | 19:35 |
| Jordan_U | saulus: Installing GNOME3 in Ubuntu 10.10 is completely unsupported. Did you mean Ubuntu 11.10 (which uses GNOME3 by default)? | 19:35 |
| kosmotak | is it any program to test internet speed from console? | 19:36 |
| SunTsu | kosmotak: hundreds | 19:36 |
| kosmotak | SunTsu:for example? | 19:37 |
| SunTsu | kosmotak: wget | 19:37 |
| kosmotak | SunTsu: thanks | 19:37 |
| saulus | Jordan_U: sorry. I ment that. But I installed also gnome shell using deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/gnome3/ubuntu oneiric main | 19:38 |
| monsterwizard | I mean when I download the wubi exe file from ubuntu.org. I can only install 'ubuntu' which is the latest version. I would like to install the stable version | 19:38 |
| monsterwizard | but it doesn't seem clear | 19:38 |
| _John | Now, how do I make it so that a user can only access(view and edit, it can already view, but I dont want that) it's home directory? The sudoers file, I don't understand how edititing it will make them only able to access their home directory. | 19:38 |

| SunTsu | kosmotak: wget is a tool to download stuff, which can tell you how fast download was. You might want to be more specific with what you want to do ant what you need to test, then you might get better answers | 19:39 |
| kosmotak | monsterwizard: you can download .iso file of ubuntu 10.04 and install it using wubi | 19:39 |

| === Exio|Away is now known as Exio4 | ||
| SunTsu | kosmotak: no, I don't and testing your speed to some external server out of your ISP's network is at least questionable | 19:40 |
| yeehaw | wad: gparted | 19:41 |
| wad | oh yeah, thanks | 19:41 |
| _John | How do I make it so that a user can only access(view and edit) it's home directory? | 19:41 |
| wad | I forgot about that tool! | 19:41 |
| _John | I don't want it to be able to view or edit anything above it's home directory. They are already off the sudoers list | 19:41 |
| tapple | how do I install java? I search aptitude for "java" but don't find an obvious package to install | 19:41 |
| kosmotak | yes i know that not depends only on my internet speed but it give preety nice results | 19:42 |

I think I know what you are talking about and usually they do this kind of pdf stuff to prevent you from getting the pdf document (at least not without paying or giving them lots of personal information), but you should check if the rendered has a download button | 20:06 |

| hermes34234 | Hey | 20:10 |
| * MEGA- grouping nicks | 20:10 | |
| hermes34234 | I'm new to ubuntu and i have an issue with youtube video playing too fast and no sound. but if i test speakers from ubuntu i have sound | 20:11 |
| hermes34234 | WELP! | 20:12 |
| lewellyn | ok. well, i take silence as assent. :/ http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/200802-222 lists what I assume is a Type 7979 system, but 7979 replaced 8840 and is the same hardware. Is it fair to consider Type 8840 systems as unofficially certified, in this case? Also, what does one do about the fact that IBM only provides their tools for RHEL and SLES? | 20:12 |
| ikonia | hermes34234: just ask a question clearly | 20:12 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: what tools ? | 20:12 |
| lewellyn | http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=SYSX-SERVRS&brandind=5000008 is what lists the 8840 -> 7979 transition | 20:12 |
| lewellyn | ikonia: things like the raid management, for starters. | 20:13 |
| hermes34234 | okay.. | 20:13 |
| hermes34234 | nevermind be back later | 20:13 |
| hermes34234 | <3 | 20:13 |
| lewellyn | DSA would also be useful (Dynamic System Analysis) | 20:13 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: thinggs like that are problematic, you can unpackage them and try them on your ubuntu system, however it's doubtful they will work as they are probably linked against the redhat/sles libraries | 20:13 |
| lewellyn | yeah. that's why i'm kind of curious what, exactly, certification entails, since things like the raid controller are kind of useful :/ | 20:14 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: the best thing to do in that situation is contact IBM and request the pacakge in a compatible ubuntu version, however it is doubtul they will provide it as most business won't build software for distros with 6 month release cycles | 20:14 |
| lewellyn | um. i'm not asking for a 6-month release cycle | 20:14 |
| lewellyn | note that the server's only certified for LTS | 20:14 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: ubuntu is a 6 month release cycle, so most business software packages don't build for it | 20:15 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: the certification is probably limited to hardware compatiability | 20:15 |
| Stepnjump | let me try oerherks and escott. thanks I'll let you know | 20:15 |
| lewellyn | i'm not looking for a "probably", which is why i came here. :/ and every indication on the site is that LTS is on a multi-year cycle, not 6-months. | 20:15 |
| r3za | hi guys , i recently share my firefox profile between ubuntu 11.10 and MS 7 .. after that i realized that all my bookmarks are gone . can anyone help me please ? | 20:15 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: ok - you want a "non-probably" answer, ask IMB | 20:16 |
| ikonia | IBM | 20:16 |
| lewellyn | why would ibm have any bearing about what's on ubuntu.com? | 20:16 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: I can assure you that the certification does not account for 3rd part software, just hardware compatability | 20:16 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: IBM would have a bearing on the compatability of the tools. | 20:16 |
| lewellyn | i'm asking about what, exactly, the relevance of that page is to the servers sitting in front of me. the site is very vague on that. | 20:17 |
| lewellyn | and since it's on ubuntu.com, i came to #ubuntu. | 20:17 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: the hardware is compatible with the distribution version | 20:17 |
| ikonia | that is the certification in that respect | 20:17 |
| lewellyn | can you please link me something to that effect? thanks. | 20:17 |
| ikonia | no | 20:17 |
| lewellyn | basically, how i'm currently seeing the server listings is that there are a bunch of "certified" servers for lts, but no definition of what "certified" entails. | 20:18 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: it certifies that ubuntu will run on that device | 20:19 |
| lewellyn | and what's the definition of "run" though? apparently "using the raid array" isn't on that list? or does ubuntu ship with drivers for the serveraid that sles/rhel don't? | 20:19 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: the hardware will work with open drivers on most of the raidcard provided by IBM/Dell/HP - the 3rd party provided ones are for advanced tools such as email reporting raid degredatiion (for example) | 20:20 |
| lewellyn | um. per the ibm doco, you need to have the ibm drivers at installtime to install to the raid. | 20:21 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: their official document, yes, | 20:21 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: that doesn't mean open versions don't work, or it could mean the card is supported as a jbod device, but not as a raid controller | 20:21 |
| lewellyn | in fact, they have a media creator which injects the drivers into the rhel and sles install media :/ | 20:21 |
| lewellyn | jbod's not terribly useful when you have bbwc | 20:22 |

| ikonia | LordCrc: look in the hardware drivers tool - ubuntu provides drivers, no need to compile | 20:24 |
| ikonia | LordCrc: (or at least shouldn't be | 20:24 |
| LordCrc | ikonia: and they will be up to date always? | 20:24 |
| ikonia | LordCrc: they will be the ubuntu supported versions | 20:24 |
| MahaVishnu | LordCrc$ sudo lshw -C network it shows what driver is in use | 20:25 |
| lewellyn | i would contact canonical directly rather than popping into irc, but i can't find a way to ask this without first purchasing the Essential Ubuntu Advantage. i'm not seeing any "pre-sales" sort of inquiry system. :/ | 20:25 |
| === rar is now known as Serpa | ||
| ikonia | lewellyn: contact canonical about what ? | 20:25 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: you've stated the hardware needs an IBM driver - that is not provided for ubuntu, contact IBM and ask them how to manage it | 20:25 |
| lewellyn | ikonia: about how the hell the raid works on ubuntu but not other distros, for starters? | 20:25 |
| * Serpa bye bye | 20:25 | |
| ikonia | lewellyn: does it work on ubuntu ? | 20:25 |
| lewellyn | i don't know. i'm not wiping windows from the servers till i know exactly what "certified" means. i'll plop lts on a proliant instead if i can't get satisfactory answers, or use rhel. | 20:26 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: link me to the page for your hardware | 20:26 |
| lewellyn | the canonical-provided page? | 20:27 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: which one was it again | 20:27 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: yeah, or just remind me of the hardware model | 20:27 |

| ikonia | lewellyn: so you have an IBM x3650 device ? | 20:27 |
| lewellyn | it's the x346 which was rebranded to x3650 with no hardware changes. | 20:28 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: ok - so look at the card | 20:28 |
| ikonia | it's a rocket raid card | 20:28 |
| Pici | lewellyn: It says it right here: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/test-suite "When a system is certified for Ubuntu, the following items are tested and considered supported:" | 20:28 |
| lewellyn | it's a ServeRAID 7k | 20:28 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: it's covered by DM raid device | 20:28 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: the card listed on ubuntu's site is an AAC-Raid (rocket raid) | 20:28 |
| lewellyn | yeah. these have IBM RAID | 20:28 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: so either the card has changed in the later revision | 20:28 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: ok - so the hardware HAS changed | 20:28 |
| reokie | What's the usual "/" partition size if im going to use the rest of the space for the "/home" partition? | 20:28 |
| lewellyn | the Adaptec AAC only support 2 of the 3 channels as Adaptec anyhow | 20:29 |
| lewellyn | ikonia: no, therea are a LOT of raid options | 20:29 |
| LordCrc | MahaVishnu: thanks | 20:29 |
| reokie | I have mine set at 50gig for / and 250 for /home atm | 20:29 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: ok - well the certified ubuntu option lists AAC-Raid | 20:29 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: not IBM raid | 20:29 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: so as your hardware is different it's not certified | 20:29 |
| lewellyn | which would be only the non-raid channels | 20:29 |
| Church | reokie: 10-15G should be enough. probably ~ 5G used | 20:29 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: ok - so it doesn't support the raid channels | 20:29 |
| ikonia | there is your answer | 20:29 |
| reokie | Church: ok, thanks alot! | 20:29 |
| lewellyn | i have one of the adaptec cards here, but 2 of the channels are controlled by the adaptec bios, and ibm has a serveraid bios for the hotswap bays on the card. | 20:30 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: it's not supported then | 20:30 |
| lewellyn | i'd like an answer from canonical about that though :/ | 20:30 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: the supported page does not list that device, so it isn't certified | 20:30 |
| Pici | lewellyn: I would suggest asking here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification | 20:30 |
| lewellyn | Pici: thanks. | 20:30 |

| ikonia | lewellyn: pci id's are manually controlled file | 20:36 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: it may not have been updated yet | 20:36 |

| kurtul | I have a natty. but when i say "do-release-upgrade", it says "no new release found". what may be wrong? | 20:36 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: no - they are a file | 20:36 |
| lewellyn | uh no. they're part of the device. | 20:36 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: the reference of the ID to device identifier | 20:36 |
| Cradam | Pici: most are for 3rd party files like java | 20:36 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: sorry, I wasn't clear with that | 20:36 |
| olimones | shovell: are you still there | 20:36 |

| mattgyver | Is it safe to browse a USB drive that has copy operations taking place, like ls a directory or copy another file or can this lead to data corruption? | 20:37 |

| olimones | I solved my problem. Do you still need help? | 20:37 |
| Cradam | mattgyver: its safe | 20:37 |
| lewellyn | your URL has the pci id | 20:37 |
| lewellyn | 0286:9005 | 20:37 |
| mattgyver | Cradam, okay I have always assumed it was not so I figured I should just ask thanks | 20:37 |
| Yoshiko- | eSoul, FBI trick | 20:37 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: ahh, I see what you're saying | 20:37 |
| Cradam | mattgyver: you browse your hard drive while the OS is using files dont you? | 20:37 |
| Cradam | same principle | 20:37 |
| Pici | kurtul: ensure that you have 'Prompt=normal' in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades | 20:38 |
| lewellyn | thankfully, adaptec uses that pci id on like a bajillion devices and uses the subfields for specific devices :/ | 20:38 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: well, I think you're going to have to assume that the certification is based on "base" support | 20:38 |
| mattgyver | Cradam, right - I think a long time ago I did something that led me to screw something that made me think this way | 20:38 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: rather than advanced features such as raid, however that should be detailed in the notes better | 20:38 |
| lewellyn | ikonia: ok. so rhel is the safer answer. thanks. | 20:38 |
| Cradam | mattgyver: you probably removed the usb stick while the led was flashing | 20:38 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: I'd agree | 20:38 |
| lewellyn | vendor supports lts but not rhel for some reason. i'll push them rather than end up with unstable boxes. | 20:39 |
| kurtul | Pici: Prompt=normal in there | 20:39 |
| Cradam | mattgyver: btw the OS that i use to troubleshoot computers runs on a usb stick | 20:39 |
| ikonia | lewellyn: sounds a frustating mix of distro/hardware support | 20:39 |
| lewellyn | i'd prefer to keep my whole network on one linux flavor when linux is needed anyhow, and so far pretty much everything tastes of felt hats :/ | 20:39 |

| dusf | i am getting an error at boot that ubuntu is unable to mount a partition where i store media, although when i log in i can mount it - how can i correct this please? | 21:10 |
| jclbrt | dusf does it try to run an fsck? | 21:11 |
| dusf | jclbrt: no i don't think so | 21:11 |

| mattgyver | dusf, have you recently made any changes do your hard disk drives? | 21:11 |
| dusf | jclbrt: the output is down the bottom of this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1895795 | 21:11 |
| dusf | mattgyver: yes unfortunately. i ran chkdsk -l on window on my media ntfs partition, and formatted a 4gb gparted had problems with to fat32 so i could then reformat it to linux swap | 21:12 |
| mattgyver | dusf, one thought could be to check the UUID's of the drives and the entries in /etc/fstab to check for any inconsistencies | 21:12 |
| dusf | i was unable to log in, getting a grub rescue error | 21:12 |
| telemoney | dusf: why would you want to run fsck? | 21:12 |
| dusf | i can now log back in after re-installing grub | 21:12 |
| dusf | but gparted sees my entire disk as unallocated space 300gb | 21:12 |
| tjiggi_fo | patrick_, #ubuntu-br | 21:12 |
| dusf | although i can navigate all the partitions in ubuntu | 21:13 |
| jclbrt | dusf, is the partition encrypted at all? | 21:13 |
| jclbrt | just out of curiosity | 21:13 |
| dusf | i don't think so | 21:13 |
| dusf | think i skipped that option | 21:13 |

| mattgyver | dusf, like; sudo /dev/sda1 ? | 21:15 |
| dusf | mattgyver: no i was just putting in sda1 thanks. comparing now to fstab | 21:16 |
| mattgyver | dusf, yeah if for some reason you were pointing to devices in /etc/fstab like /dev/sda1 specifically, it could have switched | 21:17 |
| robin0800 | dusf: if you have only one disk you don't need device | 21:17 |
| mattgyver | I hae had that happen before and its a pain in the butt, if your already using UUID's then its unlikely the case | 21:17 |

| dusf | mattgyver: i don't have an /etc/fstab dir | 21:17 |
| mattgyver | dusf, not a directory its a file | 21:18 |
| jclbrt | infinite bandwidth my ass | 21:18 |
| mattgyver | you could open it with like gedit, vi or just page it with less | 21:18 |
| jclbrt | this is definitely NOT infinite | 21:18 |
| mattgyver | as root of course | 21:18 |
| mattgyver | If you want, you could pastebin the blkid info for all partitions and your /etc/fstab and I could take a peek too | 21:18 |
| dusf | mattgyver: standby for pastebin | 21:18 |
| mattgyver | dusf, np | 21:19 |

| mattgyver | okay, can you just humor me and paste your new file? | 21:32 |
| dusf | mattgyver: but i don't know why it says # /home was on /dev/sda8 during installation | 21:32 |

| MeQuerSat | AR9485 is a cheaper version of the AR9285. Should consist of some initval updates and a few ath9k_hw changes. Goal is to get most code in synch for ath9k_hw through HAL unification principles. | 21:55 |

| MeQuerSat | edbian, docx is basically a doc file wrapped in a zip | 22:39 |
| MeQuerSat | edbian, unzip and then diff? | 22:39 |
| edbian | MeQuerSat: I'll try that... | 22:39 |

| alsoeric | 3 things are pushing me back to win7: flash, oo/li office, skype | 22:41 |
| MeQuerSat | alsoeric, I think you can just install "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org" | 22:42 |
| edbian | openoffice writer offers a 'compare' in the file menu that works great | 22:42 |
| bubbles| | aptitude tells me libapache2-mod-php5 conflicts with libapache2-mod-php5filter - how could i install those in the first place if they conflict? | 22:42 |

| alsoeric | yes | 22:43 |
| MeQuerSat | I think I know the problem | 22:44 |
| alsoeric | cool | 22:44 |
| alsoeric | would love a solution | 22:44 |
| MeQuerSat | you need to get the "adobe-flashplugin" package | 22:44 |
| bullgard6 | sanderlt: Do you speak about gnome-terminal? | 22:44 |
| shovell | #winehq | 22:44 |
| MahaVishnu | alsoeric$ lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' pastebin.com that | 22:44 |
| MeQuerSat | alsoeric, you can install it with "sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin" | 22:44 |
| alsoeric | MeQuerSat, let me check | 22:44 |
| MonkeyDust | or flash-plugin-installer | 22:45 |
| MeQuerSat | MonkeyDust, nope not that one | 22:45 |
| somsip | mattswe: you looked at the 'start on' directive as implied here? http://serverfault.com/questions/117584/upstart-scripts-run-a-task-after-networking-goes-up | 22:45 |
| sanderlt | bullgard6: yep | 22:45 |
| MonkeyDust | MeQuerSat ? | 22:45 |
| MeQuerSat | MonkeyDust, that one doesnt use the native 64bit version | 22:45 |
| MonkeyDust | hmmm | 22:45 |
| MeQuerSat | it just wraps the 32bit version in using nspluginwrapper | 22:45 |
| MeQuerSat | the native version works much better here | 22:46 |
| sanderlt | bullgard6: or just in terminal, without Xserver | 22:46 |

| diverdude | somsip, i dont think thats httpd | 22:58 |
| MeQuerSat | bobalazs, from a root shell, you can remove "sudo" | 22:58 |
| bobalazs | rarillo vim is not installed alternative?: | 22:58 |
| MeQuerSat | bobalazs, id suggest you try "nano" first, vim is complicated :o | 22:59 |
| bobalazs | nano worked great | 22:59 |
| bobalazs | thanks | 22:59 |
| sanderlt | bullgard6: it possible to kill x from another terminal? | 22:59 |

| bobalazs | MahaVishnu yes | 23:05 |
| MeQuerSat | sc30317, to be honest: with AMD, its probably both | 23:05 |
| RyuGuns | hELLO | 23:05 |
| bobalazs | MahaVishnu you dont need that anyways at root shell | 23:05 |
| MahaVishnu | I didnt know you were in root shell | 23:05 |
| RyuGuns | ...Sorry, anyway, my printer is not printing anything. | 23:05 |
| sc30317 | MeQuerSat, yea :\ | 23:06 |
| MahaVishnu | bobalazs$ is your / mounted rw ? | 23:06 |
| bobalazs | MahaVishnu i cant load X :/ | 23:06 |
| RyuGuns | Ubuntu just gives a notice about low ink, but all the windows machines print it anyway... | 23:06 |
| MeQuerSat | bobalazs, to start X, you executed "startx" ? | 23:06 |
| RyuGuns | How can I get ubuntu to just print it anyway? | 23:06 |
| aaron_ | hello there i have a laptop hp 620 my sound card the sound output is creating is very low, volume in windows it sounds much better than now. | 23:06 |
| n00b | plz I have installed ubuntu today and applied all updates but when i boot my system freezes and it works after about 30 seconds pause using 11.10 and dmesg have this error init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (1419) terminated with status 1 | 23:06 |
| MahaVishnu | bobalazs$ apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/x11/xorg.conf | 23:06 |
| bobalazs | MahaVishnu how can i check? MeQuerSat yes | 23:06 |
| MahaVishnu | bobalazs$ check with command mount | 23:07 |
| bobalazs | i have no network | 23:07 |
| MeQuerSat | aaron_, you can execute "alsamixer" from the Terminal and turn up several options there | 23:07 |
| aaron_ | MeQuerSat, there already up 100 % | 23:07 |
| alsoeric_ | MahaVishnu, MeQuerSat any other ideas for making flash work? | 23:07 |
| MahaVishnu | alsoeric_$ it just doesn't work ? | 23:08 |
| aaron_ | but the funny thing is when i'm playing a song with audacious and youtube and then youtube does not create no sound back so that's odd. | 23:08 |
| alsoeric_ | MahaVishnu, MeQuerSat 100k 10 se to lockup | 23:08 |
| MeQuerSat | alsoeric_, https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ | 23:08 |
| alsoeric_ | MahaVishnu, MeQuerSat took 10 sec to lockup | 23:08 |
| MeQuerSat | which version does it display? | 23:08 |
| alsoeric_ | not sure | 23:09 |
| alsoeric_ | how tell? | 23:09 |
| bobalazs | MahaVishnu (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) | 23:09 |
| MeQuerSat | aaron_, thats because audacious probably takes control over the whole soundsystem | 23:09 |
| MeQuerSat | alsoeric_, cant you view that apge? | 23:09 |
| MeQuerSat | page* | 23:09 |
| MahaVishnu | bobalazs$ then you should be able to write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:09 |
| MahaVishnu | bobalazs$ to help you I NEED to see that file. | 23:09 |
| bobalazs | MahaVishnu meh. how can i remove it? | 23:10 |
| MeQuerSat | ... | 23:10 |
| MahaVishnu | dude | 23:10 |
| alsoeric_ | MeQuerSat, no. hulu video locks before you can do anything | 23:10 |
| MahaVishnu | do you want me to help you or not. | 23:10 |
| dany | hi guys need help to connect my ubuntu 10.04 with the wireless | 23:10 |
| Si2100 | dany, whats your wireless card? | 23:10 |
| bobalazs | MahaVishnu i will send that file once i get into x | 23:10 |
| dany | Si2100, how do i know it | 23:10 |
| Si2100 | er.. 2 secs | 23:11 |
| brightspark | dany, lspci | 23:11 |
| MeQuerSat | Its an AR9485 | 23:11 |
| brightspark | ^run that in the terminal | 23:11 |
| Si2100 | thanks brightspark | 23:11 |
| n00b | what is this error mean in dmesg init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (1419) terminated with status 1 | 23:11 |
| alsoeric_ | MeQuerSat, I've noticed xorg runs at 100% sometimes and I'm running dual monitor and nvida | 23:11 |
| MeQuerSat | Si2100, I helped him some time ago, he has an Atheros AR9485 | 23:11 |
| Si2100 | Okie | 23:12 |
| MeQuerSat | Si2100, but I couldnt find if its supposed to be supported or not | 23:12 |
| Emiru | how do I permanently disable the screen saver ? | 23:12 |
| dany | Si2100, http://paste.ubuntu.com/771692/ | 23:12 |
| MahaVishnu | Emiru$ where the screen goes blank or an actual screen saver ? | 23:12 |
| labcoattech | hi all | 23:12 |
| FreezingCold | Hi, I'm trying to backup my computer through SSH and I want to pipe it | 23:13 |
| dany | brightspark, http://paste.ubuntu.com/771692/ | 23:13 |
| Emiru | MahaVishnu: When it goes black | 23:13 |
| chamunks | Does anyone know if fglrx is anywhere near compatible with gnome3 yet? | 23:13 |
| MeQuerSat | FreezingCold, for backing up remotely, I suggest using rsync | 23:13 |
| chamunks | Ati apparently promised a fix by the end of november. | 23:13 |
| Si2100 | dany, try thus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5703118&postcount=3 | 23:14 |
| MahaVishnu | Emiru$ gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the monitor section remove Option "DPMS" then sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart and it will take you back to login screen. it should not black after that. *might require a reboot but I donot believe so* | 23:14 |
| FreezingCold | MeQuerSat: I don't have rsync, I only have SSH open and I'm not allowed to open anything else, work policy | 23:14 |
| Emiru | MahaVishnu: Thanks a lot mate, appreciate it :) | 23:14 |
| MeQuerSat | Si2100, wrong wifi card? | 23:14 |
| chamunks | Who knew that even if AMD bought ATI they still wouldn't improve their driver releases at all. | 23:14 |
| MahaVishnu | Emiru$ no problem. | 23:14 |
| bobalazs | so then, how do i go about removing xorg.conf if the file system is said to be read-only when it isin fact mounted | 23:14 |
| MeQuerSat | FreezingCold, wow, that sucks | 23:14 |
| Relondo | Hey, everyone. My Ubuntu won't boot-I've got it installed, and supposedly my computer should default to Ubuntu, but it just boots straight to Windows XP with no menus. | 23:14 |
| FreezingCold | MeQuerSat: Yeah, I know there must be some way I can pipe it through with cat and tar | 23:15 |
| Si2100 | MrQuerSat, would it hurt to try it ? | 23:15 |
| kasad | hey guys, how can i disable sleep from command line (i have server installed so no gui), my plesk install fails because comp goes to sleep | 23:15 |
| MahaVishnu | Relondo$ boot an ubuntu live cd and do a sudo grub-install on /dev/sda make sure you do it on the root of the drive not a partition like /dev/sda1 | 23:15 |
| MeQuerSat | FreezingCold, it could | 23:15 |
| MeQuerSat | I meant that for Si2100 ^ | 23:15 |
| dany | Si2100, i don't understand this documentation | 23:16 |
| Relondo | MahaVishnu, Hold on. Too much tech-speak there. I understand what the grub is, but sudo-grub? | 23:16 |
| harry_ | I'm using linux mint 11 but for some reason haven't been able to connect to the linux mint x-chat server all evening. Any ideas? | 23:16 |
| MahaVishnu | Relondo$ you prefix the command with sudo cause you need root access to do sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 23:16 |
| MeQuerSat | FreezingCold, cant just login via FileZilla ssh and copy the files? | 23:16 |
| mneptok | FreezingCold: rsync works over ssh | 23:16 |
| Si2100 | dany, i think its saying you need to get this " madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6" driver for your wirelesscard to work | 23:16 |
| kasad | how to disable sleep from command line, anyone? | 23:17 |
| FreezingCold | MeQuerSat: No, that's scp | 23:17 |
| amine | bonsoir a tous | 23:17 |
| dany | Si2100, can you guid me to how doing that | 23:17 |
| Relondo | MahaVishnu, I'm not doing this through command line. | 23:17 |
| FreezingCold | mneptok: Wait, how does rsync work? | 23:17 |
| Si2100 | dany, Yeah ill try | 23:17 |
| MeQuerSat | Si2100, that a different Atheros card, it wont work... | 23:17 |
| MahaVishnu | Relondo$ well that *IS* what you need to do brother. | 23:17 |
| MahaVishnu | open a virtual terminal | 23:17 |
| Relondo | MahaVishnu, Oh. I don't know how. | 23:17 |
| MahaVishnu | ctrl+t ? | 23:17 |
| dany | Si2100, thanks , tell me what to do , i will follow your steps | 23:17 |
| Relondo | MahaVishnu, I'm new to this. | 23:17 |
| MahaVishnu | Relondo$ no problem :-) | 23:18 |
| mneptok | FreezingCold: rsync syncs data. it can be incremental, mirrored, etc etc. it can use different transport protocols, ssh being one of them. | 23:18 |
| Si2100 | MeQuersat, would the driver work for it thought | 23:18 |
| Relondo | MahaVishnu, Hold on, BRB. | 23:18 |
| dusf_ | is there a way to check from terminal if a drive is logical or primary? gparted is not an option | 23:18 |
| brightspark | kasad, see this url, you should be able to adapt it to a non-gui editor: | 23:18 |
| dusf_ | perhaps something like fdisk? | 23:18 |
| mneptok | FreezingCold: in fact, scp uses ssh as a transport protocol, too. so scp works over ssh. | 23:18 |
| brightspark | http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/disable-suspend-and-hibernate-ubuntu/ | 23:18 |
| amine | bonne surfffffffffffffff a tous | 23:18 |
| kasad | brightspark: thanks | 23:18 |
| FreezingCold | mneptok: It's like a router with nothing but the basics, and it rejects scp for some reason | 23:19 |
| dany | Si2100, i can install teamviewer if it working for ubuntu and give u access | 23:19 |
| MeQuerSat | Si2100, I would take the simple way and install "wicd" | 23:19 |
| Si2100 | dany, an just looking at Google, and reading teh somethink | 23:19 |
| MeQuerSat | see if that enables the wifi-card to be utilized | 23:19 |
| Si2100 | yeah | 23:19 |
| Si2100 | try it then | 23:19 |
| MahaVishnu | dany$ what is wrong with your wifi card man ?? | 23:20 |
| mneptok | FreezingCold: scp uses ssh and its port (22). you may not have the ability to form interactive sessions. | 23:20 |
| FreezingCold | mneptok: it says "sh scp not found" or something like that | 23:20 |
| Relondo | MahaVishnu, Actually, I need to go for about twenty minutes. | 23:20 |
| Relondo | MahaVishnu, Will you probably be on then? | 23:20 |
| MahaVishnu | nah im gonna go eat dinner at 6:30 | 23:20 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, i don't know , it's just not working in ubuntu 10.04 , but it's fine with windows 7 | 23:20 |
| mneptok | FreezingCold: on a Linux machine? | 23:20 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, can u help on that plz | 23:21 |
| MahaVishnu | ill be back later after that probably | 23:21 |
| Si2100 | dany, have you checked the aditional drivers / | 23:21 |
| === Exio|Away is now known as Exio | ||
| Relondo | MahaVishnu, Alright, thanks. I'm sure someone else can help too :) | 23:21 |
| WaraudonX | I want to flush the route table on a Ubuntu Server acting as a gateway, but I don't want it to remove the routing table for the network interfaces. Possible? | 23:21 |
| MahaVishnu | dany$ can you describe just not working? what have you tried? I heard someone said its an atheros card | 23:21 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, i have no idea how to do that (New with linux) | 23:21 |
| MeQuerSat | dany, how do you mean it "doesnt work", can you view any wifi routers nearby? | 23:21 |
| alsoeric_ | MeQuerSat, MahaVishnu: thanks for the help. I'll assume that flash is not a viable option for me at this time | 23:21 |
| Si2100 | Yeah, mahavishnu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/771692/ | 23:22 |
| MahaVishnu | alsoeric_$ I don't see why not. is it just not showing ANY flash ?? | 23:22 |
| Si2100 | thats what he gave me | 23:22 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, no there is no wifi detected , i don't know if it's atheros or something else | 23:22 |
| Gary_B | whats the easiest way to get debug symbols? | 23:22 |
| brightspark | dany, do you know whether you have the drivers installed for your wireless card? | 23:22 |
| alsoeric_ | MahaVishnu, flash *locks* my system | 23:22 |
| rarillo | Bye | 23:22 |
| brightspark | dany, on a new install these drivers are often not included by default | 23:22 |
| MahaVishnu | dany$ can you pastebin for me. lsmod | grep ath5k and sudo lshw -C network | 23:22 |
| MeQuerSat | Its an Atheros AR9485, I think its supported by athk9 | 23:22 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, no i have no idea abt that | 23:22 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, okay | 23:23 |
| MahaVishnu | dany | 23:23 |
| MahaVishnu | lsmod | grep ath | 23:23 |
| alsoeric_ | MahaVishnu, I can not recover without pulling power | 23:23 |
| === rarillo is now known as DolGuldur | ||
| mneptok | alsoeric_: how was Flash installed? | 23:23 |
| MeQuerSat | MahaVishnu, its an AR9485 ;) | 23:23 |
| DolGuldur | byes | 23:23 |
| MahaVishnu | alsoeric_$ what are your specs?? old machine?? you have flash installed. | 23:23 |
| Si2100 | dany, have you checked to see if the aditional drivers have got a driver for it ? | 23:23 |
| Gary_B | i seem to need symbols for libdl.so.2 libc.so.6 d-linux.so.2 | 23:23 |
| alsoeric_ | mneptok, first vis stock process. really was not paying attentiond | 23:23 |
| MeQuerSat | MahaVishnu, Im just not sure if the AR9485 is supported by ath9k at the moment | 23:23 |
| mneptok | alsoeric_: on AMD64 or i686? | 23:24 |
| MahaVishnu | mneptok$ for alsoeric_ http://pastebin.com/ScCh3L8G | 23:24 |
| alsoeric_ | MahaVishnu, then I took the ubuntu forum advice and used flash-fix | 23:24 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/771698/ | 23:25 |
| MahaVishnu | I told him to purge the i386 one and do a dpkg update adobe-flashplugin | 23:25 |
| dany | Si2100, http://paste.ubuntu.com/771698/ | 23:25 |
| Si2100 | Mahavishnu: product: AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter | 23:25 |
| labcoattech | is it possible to change the grub bootloader to something that is GUI | 23:25 |
| MahaVishnu | Si2100$ yea. I saw | 23:26 |
| skegeek | Where can I find settings telling GRUB menu to align correctly? | 23:26 |
| Si2100 | =) | 23:26 |
| MahaVishnu | dany$ is it blank for lsmod | grep ath9k | 23:26 |
| MeQuerSat | Si2100, yeah, what I said about an hour ago xD | 23:26 |
| mneptok | alsoeric_ / MahaVishnu: last i knew the native AMD64 Flash plugin was not in the repos. instead you got the i686 Flash plugin, and nspluginwrapper. ugh. | 23:26 |
| Si2100 | labcoattech: have a look for super-boot-manager on google | 23:26 |
| labcoattech | thanks | 23:26 |
| alsoeric_ | when all options failed, a friend suggested a package that used nspluginwrapper | 23:26 |
| MahaVishnu | mneptok$ adobe-flashplugin *is* native 64bit | 23:26 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, yes | 23:27 |
| DolGuldur | byes | 23:27 |
| MeQuerSat | mneptok, adobe-flashplugin is native 64bit, flashplugin-installer is the wrapper setup | 23:27 |
| MahaVishnu | people get the i386 version by doing installing ubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:27 |
| MeQuerSat | ^ | 23:27 |
| === DolGuldur is now known as rar | ||
| rar | bye byes | 23:27 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, it's just as you saw , nothing show up with the first cmd | 23:27 |
| MahaVishnu | happened to me and I didn't know till I came here to help someone else | 23:27 |
| conntrack | haha | 23:27 |
| sumosu | i have a notebook without HDD. Boot hangs for 1 minute saying "ata1:link to slow to respond" and "SRST error". how could i fix this? i'd like to adjust the timeout, disable the probing or the ata altogether | 23:27 |
| conntrack | Like I didn't notice | 23:27 |
| alsoeric_ | MeQuerSat, MahaVishnu the dpkg update option. I wonder if I did that | 23:27 |
| Si2100 | or you could just go to adobe website and download it ?? | 23:27 |
| MahaVishnu | alsoeric_$ lsmod | grep ath is different from lsmod | grep ath5k | 23:28 |
| alsoeric_ | sudo dpkg update adobe-flashplugin | 23:28 |
| alsoeric_ | dpkg: error: need an action option | 23:28 |
| MeQuerSat | alsoeric_, you need to use apt-get | 23:28 |
| MeQuerSat | "dpkg" has different options | 23:28 |
| MahaVishnu | sry lol | 23:28 |
| MahaVishnu | sudo dpkg-update adobe-flashplugin | 23:28 |
| MeQuerSat | that would be it | 23:28 |
| MahaVishnu | I try to go too fast some times. | 23:29 |
| Si2100 | i do that =) | 23:29 |
| MahaVishnu | or you can just do 'flash' | 23:29 |
| MahaVishnu | that also works for me | 23:29 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, what i have to do ? | 23:29 |
| kasad | no luck, can't disable sleep from cmdline | 23:29 |
| kasad | anyone else have some ideas? it's really annoying me | 23:30 |
| alsoeric_ | no dpkg-update | 23:30 |
| MahaVishnu | dany$ well, did you install the propreitary drivers in the app. for your atheros? cause lshw is showing no driver/module loaded for your wireless card | 23:30 |
| kasad | (i don't have any gui installed btw) | 23:30 |
| MahaVishnu | kasad$ sleep like a black screen? | 23:30 |
| ImTheDude | pacistan | 23:30 |
| kasad | MahaVishnu yes | 23:30 |
| Si2100 | mahavishnu, therefore it woundnt work... xD | 23:30 |
| kasad | MahaVishnu it borks my plesk setup | 23:30 |
| MeQuerSat | alsoeric_, did you already do "sudo apt-get remove --purge adobe-flashplugin:i386" ? | 23:30 |
| MahaVishnu | kasad$ remove option "DPMS" from your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:30 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, how to install it ? | 23:31 |
| ImTheDude | oops | 23:31 |
| alsoeric_ | yes | 23:31 |
| MahaVishnu | Si2100$ indeed | 23:31 |
| Si2100 | xD | 23:31 |
| Si2100 | dany, check if theres anything in the hardware drivers, | 23:31 |
| MeQuerSat | dany, search for "driver" and click on the program called "Additional Drivers" | 23:31 |
| MahaVishnu | yea meng | 23:31 |
| MahaVishnu | ^ | 23:31 |
| OerHeks | kasad, Ensure that all Powermanagement Settings in your machine's BIOS are disabled. | 23:32 |
| kasad | MahaVishnu: i don't have xorg.conf, no gui installed | 23:32 |
| brightspark | kasad, is it screenblank or suspend you are having trouble with (does it stop the hard disk & fans or just turn off the monitor) | 23:32 |
| kasad | MahaVishnu: it's fresh install and i have only sshd installed atm, no xwindos | 23:32 |
| kasad | brightspark: yeah it's suspend it's a laptop | 23:32 |
| MahaVishnu | oh its suspend | 23:33 |
| MahaVishnu | idk then.. | 23:33 |

| MeQuerSat | alsoeric_, did you also restart firefox? | 23:33 |
| dany | MahaVishnu, where to search | 23:34 |
| alsoeric_ | yes | 23:34 |
| kasad | MeQuerSat: it's fine for my needs it's only a test server | 23:34 |
| Si2100 | dany, you need to go to System > perfrances > aditions drive or Aditions hardware or Hardware dirvers | 23:34 |
| kasad | MeQuerSat: it has better hardware then my current test server which served me well for years | 23:34 |
| Si2100 | i forget.. | 23:34 |
| MeQuerSat | alsoeric_, type this in Firefox: about:plugins | 23:34 |
| MeQuerSat | and check for flash | 23:34 |
