| bfri | almoxarife do you know of a good tutorial for that | 00:56 |
| paulsomebody | RingZer0: Unless you deliberately written it, there is no xorg.conf on Ubuntu 11.10 by default. | 00:57 |
| paulsomebody | RingZer0: My best guess would be to remove the associated package, then the driver should deactivate. | 00:57 |
| qmanjr5 | Every time I plug my USB in (Sandisk Cruzer with U3 on it), GParted freezes. What's up with this? | 00:59 |

| SwashBuckla | paulsomebody: I didn't know that existed. Will look into it :) | 01:08 |
| paulsomebody | SwashBuckla: Wow. | 01:08 |
| paulsomebody | SwashBuckla: People usually learn Linux from the GUI to command line, not the other way around. :) | 01:08 |
| RingZer0 | Not sure I understand this: sudo lsmod | grep nv produces: nvidia 11919144 0 | 01:09 |
| MrPumpkincitis | why do they call the root root | 01:09 |
| RingZer0 | but sudo modprobe -r nvidia produces: FATAL: Module nvidia not found. | 01:09 |
| paulsomebody | MrPumpkincitis: Not for me. It's look depends on the client you use. | 01:09 |
| MrPumpkincitis | thanks | 01:10 |
| paulsomebody | RingZer0: Hmm. Have you tried removing the package? | 01:10 |
| RingZer0 | which package? | 01:10 |
| paulsomebody | RingZer0: It looks to me, that version of the driver module in your kernel is different from the one you have installed, which produces the error you mentioned. | 01:10 |
| RingZer0 | i've never used a linux GUI before, so when I used the "hardware driver installer" i am not sure what happened. I just downloaded and installed the (Recommended) one | 01:11 |
| paulsomebody | RingZer0: I have got that once, when the installation got interrupted. | 01:11 |
| paulsomebody | RingZer0: I just re-installed it and things got back to green zone. | 01:11 |
| RingZer0 | man, but I havge everything setup perfect. | 01:11 |
| qmanjr5 | trism, I can't do that...U3 doesn't even launch on Linux | 01:12 |
| RingZer0 | all of my shell windows, my ssh keys, everything | 01:12 |
| RingZer0 | can you think of any way to just "reset" video modes? | 01:12 |
| paulsomebody | RingZer0: Not the system. :) The driver. | 01:12 |
| trism | qmanjr5: as I said, I had to do it from windows, I don't know of another way to remove it | 01:12 |
| RingZer0 | so, how would i use apt to search for the driver? | 01:12 |
| RingZer0 | apt, pkgtool, yum, or whatever it uses. | 01:13 |
| SwashBuckla | paulsomebody: so adding xsnow to Startup Applications didn't work. What happens: xsnow launches, and then the nautilus desktop loads and blocks it out | 01:13 |
| unreal-dude | commandline searching for apt is `sudo apt-cache search packagename` | 01:13 |
| paulsomebody | SwashBuckla: It definitely works for other applications, must be something app-specific. | 01:14 |
| RingZer0 | so, does ubuntu use apt to manage drivers? | 01:14 |
| paulsomebody | RingZer0: Yes. | 01:14 |
| blackshirt | unreal-dude not really need sudo for searching | 01:14 |
| SwashBuckla | paulsomebody: yes this is likely, xsnow requires the desktop to load before xsnow | 01:14 |
| SwashBuckla | because it is a desktop overlay, similar to conky | 01:14 |
| paulsomebody | SwashBuckla: Add an option to launch it after the desktop is loaded. | 01:15 |
| paulsomebody | SwashBuckla: I think it can do that, look in the manual. | 01:15 |
| SwashBuckla | paulsomebody: what manual | 01:15 |
| SwashBuckla | ? | 01:15 |
| paulsomebody | SwashBuckla: For xsnow, of course. | 01:15 |
| SwashBuckla | ah :) | 01:16 |
| paulsomebody | SwashBuckla: You open the terminal, type the 'man xsnow' and enjoy. :) | 01:16 |

| aitd | on windows open normaly | 01:21 |
| aitd | system is...xubuntu...i used different browsers..always same story | 01:21 |
| RingZer0 | ya, my ubuntu on my lappy is very slow as well, i thought it just did not have the correct driver, so i tried the "recommended" one, and boom, no more Xwindows | 01:21 |
| aitd | its just on wikipedia site...here..pretty strange | 01:22 |
| paulsomebody | aitd: I am quite sure it is just Wikipedia, not you. | 01:22 |
| aitd | using "tor"...the issue is solved | 01:22 |
| SwashBuckla | paulsomebody: nah there's no option for loading xsnow after the desktop loads | 01:23 |
| paulsomebody | aitd: For objective measurement, try speedtest.com — it will tell you if the internet speed is lower on Ubuntu. | 01:23 |
| SwashBuckla | I feel silly for looking for it actually | 01:23 |

| JonnyR | what you done so far jasonmchristos? | 01:56 |
| === Porkminer is now known as Porkminer-skyrim | ||
| mrmj | guys why cant i log in as root or run a file in root? | 01:59 |
| === psharmor is now known as tekoholic | ||
| mrmj | did they change the command? | 01:59 |
| somsip | !root | mrmj | 02:00 |
| ubottu | mrmj: 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 | 02:00 |
| warfaren | mrmj: what command are you trying to run+ | 02:00 |
| mrmj | i get that.. i just cannot run a file at all | 02:00 |
| JonnyR | what file is it? | 02:01 |
| mrmj | i cant get it to open from the terminal, and right clicking to run as root only ask for password and doesnt open it | 02:01 |
| warfaren | if you give us the exact command and error message it would be easier to help | 02:01 |
| Sinjet | mrmj: What type of file? | 02:01 |
| mrmj | when i double click and run in terminal it opens a new one so i cant log as root there | 02:01 |
| mrmj | its a .run file | 02:01 |
| warfaren | well try opening a terminal normally, cd to the folder where the file is located in | 02:02 |
| warfaren | then type sudo ./whatever the filename is.run | 02:02 |
| Sinjet | mrmj: sudo ./foo.run | 02:02 |
| warfaren | you may have to do chmod +x on the file aswell, if it doesn't have executing permissions | 02:03 |
| warfaren | you'll notice if you get permission denied | 02:03 |
| mrmj | i checked the box on it, should i do chmod also? | 02:04 |
| === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ | ||
| MrPumpkincitis | what was that? | 02:04 |
| Charybdis | That was a netsplit. | 02:04 |
| warfaren | mrmj: nah, checking the box is enough | 02:05 |
| milamber | !netsplit | 02:05 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 02:05 |
| mrmj | hmm still cant open it | 02:05 |
| MrPumpkincitis | :) thanks | 02:05 |
| warfaren | did you run sudo ./filename.run? | 02:06 |
| warfaren | filename being the name of the file | 02:06 |
| mrmj | oh it works, but i need to kill X because its a driver | 02:07 |
| mrmj | :) | 02:07 |
| warfaren | ah, the nvidia driver isn't it | 02:07 |
| mrmj | yes lol | 02:07 |
| mrmj | will it work with ubuntu 11.1? the ancient driver | 02:07 |
| warfaren | yeah, i've installed that myself too. you should go to a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) login and type sudo gdm stop (this will kill your X and all the programs you launched in it) | 02:08 |
| warfaren | then go ahead and run it just like you just did | 02:08 |
| warfaren | oops | 02:08 |
| mrmj | right on ill try it | 02:08 |
| warfaren | sudo service gdm stop | 02:08 |
| warfaren | my bad, i always get that wrong sorry | 02:08 |
| mrmj | or is it sudo service lightdm stop? | 02:08 |
| gavin_ | hi | 02:09 |
| warfaren | perhaps? i run ubuntu 10.04 with the default gnome and i use gdm | 02:09 |
| gavin_ | does anyone know any xhtml website development | 02:09 |
| mrmj | cool i can try both | 02:09 |
| warfaren | ok | 02:09 |
| mrmj | ty very much | 02:09 |
| mrmj | :) | 02:09 |
| warfaren | no problem let me know how it went when you are done | 02:09 |
| gavin_ | #off-topic | 02:10 |
| mrmj | cool will do | 02:10 |
| gavin_ | hello | 02:10 |
| warfaren | gavin_: just stating your actual question is probably the best | 02:10 |
| gavin_ | I'm currently struggling on the website development | 02:10 |
| omarstfollower | gavin_, whats the problem? | 02:10 |
| jasonmchristos | need help removing rtkit! | 02:11 |
| gavin_ | I have to use notepad to design the whole website and it won't validate with the xhtml 1.0 strict | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | !info rtkit | 02:11 |
| gavin_ | my website won't validate | 02:11 |
| ubottu | rtkit (source: rtkit): Realtime Policy and Watchdog Daemon. In component main, is optional. Version 0.10-1ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 34 kB, installed size 208 kB | 02:11 |
| warfaren | oh dear i thought you meant rootkit lol | 02:11 |
| gavin_ | so I don't know if this is the best place to ask | 02:11 |
| somsip | gavin_: #html | 02:11 |
| gavin_ | #html | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | gavin_: have to use 'notepad.exe' from windows? | 02:11 |
| almoxarife | jasonmchristos: assuming you mean the package, remove it | 02:11 |
| gavin_ | yes | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | gavin_: dare we ask why? | 02:12 |
| gavin_ | but I have to save it in a .html format | 02:12 |
| gavin_ | its my uni work and at uni, I've been asked to use notepad | 02:12 |
| gavin_ | to recreate the doc type and stuff | 02:12 |
| almoxarife | !ot | 02:12 |
| ubottu | #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! | 02:12 |
| gavin_ | but each time when I'm trying to create something in my .html file, it won't validate | 02:13 |
| somsip | gavin_: type "/join #html" | 02:13 |
| omarstfollower | gavin_, join #ubuntu-offtopic or #html | 02:13 |
| gavin_ | thanks | 02:14 |
| hendaus | help me please | 02:16 |
| dr_willis | hendaus: and the problem is? | 02:16 |
| ohzie | gavin_: the question is, why does your school assignment require your finished product validates to nearly 12 year old guidelines | 02:16 |
| jasonmchristos | need help removing rtkit! | 02:16 |
| gavin_ | what do you mean 12 year old guidelines? | 02:16 |
| dr_willis | jasonmchristos: how did you install rtkit? | 02:17 |
| ohzie | gavin_: xhtml 1.0 strict was published in January 2000, revised in january 2002 | 02:17 |
| gavin_ | ohzie: what do you mean by 12 year old guidelines? | 02:17 |
| IceStorm | hy | 02:17 |
| jasonmchristos | dr_willis: I didn't must be a rootkit | 02:17 |
| === IceStorm is now known as Guest78790 | ||
| ohzie | (there are newer and better things) | 02:17 |
| JonnyR | jasonmchristos, have you installed rkhunter? | 02:17 |
| === Guest78790 is now known as Quetzalcoatl | ||
| JonnyR | and chkrootkit? | 02:17 |
| hendaus | dr_willis, i have two hd installed one is primary master ide and the second primary on sata does it conflict anything on my pc? | 02:17 |
| JonnyR | give them a run | 02:17 |
| trism | rtkit is a recommend of pulseaudio | 02:18 |
| gavin_ | ohzie: I've no idea but on the assignment that I was being given, it told us to use the xhtml 1.0 strict6 | 02:18 |
| ohzie | jasonmchristos: Out of curiosity, do you know how you might have acquired a rootkit? | 02:18 |
| === odenthaa is now known as Odysimus | ||
| jasonmchristos | JonnyR: no | 02:18 |
| dr_willis | I dident think sata even used Master/slave.... hendaus | 02:18 |
| Charybdis | dr_willis: They do. They are labeled as master and slave, but they don't require special jumpering. | 02:18 |
| jasonmchristos | ohzie: either by exploits , or they are packaged in the repos, or someone got to my computer wile i was away | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | hendaus: ive used IDE drives alongside sata drives with no issues. | 02:19 |
| ohzie | jasonmchristos: how did you become aware of a rootkit. That may give us incite on how to direct you to remove it. | 02:19 |
| MrPumpkincitis | Is it best to learn the command line stuff before learning Ubuntu GUI? Somewhat like learning DOS before Windows? | 02:19 |
| JonnyR | jasonmchristos, install rkhunter and chkrootkit if you can and scan your system. | 02:19 |
| jasonmchristos | ohzie: dont think it was physical intrusion if they would have that much effort they wouldnt name it rtkit | 02:19 |
| brightspark | hendaus, I had a similar setup recently, the only issue I find is that the BIOS doesn't always allow me to boot into the one I want. | 02:19 |
| JonnyR | MrPumpkincitis, learn the command line if you can first. :) | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | MrPumpkincitis: not really. but its good to learn the command line stuff eventually. | 02:19 |
| MrPumpkincitis | thanks | 02:19 |
| MrPumpkincitis | ha | 02:20 |
| jasonmchristos | JonnyR: chkrootkit says wpa_supplicant is a packetsniffer and also dhclient | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | MrPumpkincitis: the CLI is so handy. | 02:20 |
| ohzie | MrPumpkincitis: depends on what you want to do. If you're just learning linux, use the gui and delve into the command line as necessary. The command line does a lot of things much more cleanly and efficiently than the gui. | 02:20 |
| MrPumpkincitis | thanks to both of you | 02:20 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: Are you talking about the package rtkit, or a rootkit? | 02:20 |
| hendaus | dr_willis, ok i have the ide installed as primary master and using ubuntu and the new sata 250gb installed as sata primary how can i mount this on ubuntu | 02:20 |
| Charybdis | There is a serious package named rtkit. | 02:20 |
| MrPumpkincitis | got it | 02:20 |
| jasonmchristos | Charybdis: i didnt install any package rtkit | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | hendaus: via the proper mount command it the normal way | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | !mount | hendaus | 02:20 |
| ubottu | hendaus: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 02:20 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: You don't have to. | 02:20 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: It's part of pulseaudio. | 02:21 |
| jasonmchristos | Charybdis: how do i pull up info on the package then | 02:21 |
| MrPumpkincitis | ohzie are you from oz | 02:21 |
| MrPumpkincitis | downunder? | 02:21 |
| Charybdis | apt-cache search rtkit | 02:21 |
| ohzie | MrPumpkincitis: No, sir. I am from Northern Virginia. Currently residing in Austin, Texas. | 02:21 |
| MrPumpkincitis | ok, thanks | 02:21 |
| milamber | Charybdis: if you do apt-cache policy it will tell you what is installed also | 02:22 |
| Charybdis | Thank's for the info, milamber. | 02:22 |
| hendaus | dr_willis, can u help me please how to do it coz i am really confused | 02:22 |
| jasonmchristos | how about aptitude instead of apt | 02:23 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: What is the issue? | 02:23 |
| dr_willis | hendaus: read the info at the MOUNT help just mentioned? what filesystem is on the hard disk in question? | 02:23 |
| hendaus | Charybdis, how can i know if my new hd detected on ubuntu and i cant see it | 02:23 |
| ohzie | hendaus: "duso fdisk -L" | 02:24 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: Try typing: cat /proc/partitions and see if there is a new drive there. | 02:24 |
| ohzie | hendaus: or dmesg | tail | 02:24 |
| hendaus | dr_willis, this is a NEW HD | 02:24 |
| Charybdis | Then do an fdisk -l of the new drive. | 02:24 |
| Charybdis | Unless you haven't formatted it yet. | 02:24 |
| jasonmchristos | why is there so many processes running under top | 02:24 |
| dr_willis | hendaus: then you need to partion, and format it as needed... | 02:24 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: Your system has processes running all the time. | 02:24 |
| dr_willis | hendaus: this to be used only on a linux system? | 02:24 |
| jasonmchristos | Charybdis: i cant keep track of all of those | 02:25 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: I know. That's why you keep your system locked down as tight as you can and only use trusted sources. | 02:25 |
| jasonmchristos | Charybdis: is there a way to redue it to say 5 or 10 | 02:25 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: Hell no. Those are system files. | 02:25 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: Do you mean the display? | 02:25 |
| hendaus | major minor #blocks name | 02:25 |

| hendaus | 8 16 244198584 sdb | 02:25 |
| jasonmchristos | Charybdis: i like to know whats going on though | 02:25 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: Why would you want to do that? | 02:26 |
| jasonmchristos | Charybdis: why not, people act like knowing is a bad thing | 02:26 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: sdb is your new drive. | 02:26 |
| hendaus | Charybdis, see the result | 02:26 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: Now you need to format it. | 02:27 |
| hendaus | Charybdis, so its working? | 02:27 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: I use fdisk for that. | 02:27 |
| Charybdis | Yeah, it looks like it is. | 02:27 |
| ohzie | jasonmchristos: Linux is very very modular. You may not be running any applications at the moment, but top is going to show all of the processed, including each little process that has anything to do with any services or your gui(whether it be gnome or kde or xfce) | 02:27 |
| Charybdis | That 244_ entry is the new drive. | 02:27 |
| Charybdis | It's just not formatted yet. | 02:27 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: That's every driver, every file, every daemon, every process the system needed to boot and run and maintain itself, still running. | 02:27 |
| hendaus | Charybdis, but there is no conflict if i have the two hd installed one is primary master and the second is sata primary | 02:28 |
| dmorrison42 | I can't get my ssh server to authenticate using keys. I've checked my config files, I've rewriten my keys, and I've rebooted. But it still won't work. Any ideas? | 02:28 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: Try: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb to format it. | 02:28 |
| jasonmchristos | wll there has got to be a way to reduce all of this | 02:28 |
| dr_willis | err.. fdisk partitons... then you format.. | 02:28 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: Absolutely not. sata and pata do not relate to each other. | 02:28 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: You can have as many sata drives as your system can hold and it won't interfere with pata drives. | 02:28 |
| Charybdis | pata = ide | 02:29 |
| jasonmchristos | if i dont know every process i cannot spot a trojan process | 02:29 |
| jasonmchristos | thats why! | 02:29 |
| dr_willis | jasonmchristos: its not like the process is going to be called 'Trojan process' anyway.... | 02:29 |
| almoxarife | jasonmchristos: since you want to know who the little machine is talking to, type this in a terminal lsof -I <-- after all, its what's outside the machine that is evil | 02:29 |
| Charybdis | jasonmchristos: Here's a hint... if you are that paranoid, pull the plug, you don't need to be on a computer. | 02:29 |
| hendaus | Charybdis, ok everything i show you is ok | 02:29 |
| jasonmchristos | dr_willis: thats my point on why i want to know what all of these are | 02:29 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: Yes. It's normal. | 02:29 |
| Charybdis | hendaus: I'm sending you a private message. | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | jasonmchristos: you will NEVER know what all of them are unless you spend a lotof time googling about.. and even then. the badguy process will make its name appear as a normal process.. | 02:30 |
| mrmj | so wow lol | 02:30 |
| jasonmchristos | ok i did the lsof -I | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | rootkits spend a lot of time learnng how to hide :) | 02:31 |

| jasonmchristos | Corey: desktop | 02:37 |
| mrmj | and will that remove the driver i need? | 02:37 |

| wh1zz0 | milamber: Thanks! works like a charm.. What's the reason for the 1? | 02:38 |
| almoxarife | Corey: its not a good idea to recommend the addition or deletion of ppa's, sort of makes you the guy who said it was ok | 02:38 |

| poz | i also have another problem with getting rid of the indication icons on the top right of my ubuntu 11.10 | 02:38 |

| milamber | wh1zz0: ssh defaults to 2, so if you were getting version errors it had to be version 1, but you have to tell it that | 02:39 |
| mrmj | i added the ppa's knowing it wasnt recommended lol | 02:39 |

| xangua | with gparted lefty_ | 02:49 |
| milamber | lefty_: then all i can really say is that parted is the tool you would use to do that and !gparted is the graphical version | 02:50 |
| milamber | !gparted | 02:50 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 02:50 |
| mrmj | is there any way around this? | 02:50 |
| mrmj | is that because i need to kill the X to install that driver? | 02:51 |
| MrPumpkincitis | do you need gparted to see how your drive is divided up when your computer is a one OS? | 02:51 |
| lefty_ | milamber: so this lets me expand the size? | 02:51 |
| milamber | lefty_: i don't know any of the specifics of what you are trying to do, but if there is more space on the drive gparted will let you change the partition sizes | 02:52 |
| mrmj | ive tried to get the older driver for a couple days now and downloaded it, now i see one that will work in the repositories but cannot install it lol | 02:52 |
| mrmj | :( | 02:52 |
| almoxarife | mrmj: you tried the purge? | 02:53 |
| milamber | MrPumpkincitis: just to see how the computer is partitioned? do: sudo fdisk -l | 02:53 |
| mrmj | i removed the repositories that i added manually but ill try that | 02:53 |
| MrPumpkincitis | thanks | 02:53 |
| mrmj | ppa -purge in the terminal? | 02:53 |
| milamber | mrmj: removing the repos doesn't remove the programs | 02:53 |
| mrmj | ahhh | 02:54 |
| MrPumpkincitis | when one installs gparted from the command line, where does the installation come from? | 02:54 |
| milamber | MrPumpkincitis: can you be more specific? all of the programs you install via the command line are stored in repositories | 02:55 |
| milamber | !repos | 02:55 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

| xangua | !nounity | jakr | 02:56 |
| ubottu | jakr: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 02:56 |

| almoxarife | lefty_: you would create a file that is actually going to be seen as a drive by ubuntu | 02:59 |
| milamber | lefty_: why i asked for more specifics :) | 03:00 |
| almoxarife | lefty_: and another thing, there is no reason why the 'host' can't be used as space | 03:00 |
| xangua | bodoh: if you mean oracle java, is no longer incluided on ubuntu's repository | 03:01 |

| lefty_ | almoxarife: so you have no answer for my problem? lol | 03:04 |
| crassus | I'm assuming I'll have to make a partition for the new Windows from Ubuntu's GParted | 03:04 |
| aeon-ltd | crassus: yes, but you'll need to reinstall grub | 03:04 |
| milamber | crassus: yes, you have to resize the partition, install windows, and then fix grub | 03:04 |
| milamber | !grub | crassus | 03:04 |
| ubottu | crassus: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 03:04 |
| crassus | uh oh ... I don't have good memories of wrestling with GRUB from 8.04 | 03:04 |
| crassus | is it relatively straightforward, or are there difficult things I have to account for/edit ? | 03:05 |
| milamber | crassus: that particular process is pretty well documented | 03:05 |
| almoxarife | lefty_: yeah, I told you to add a virtual drive to ubuntu wubi , can be done, did do it, but you say its not possible, I won't argue with you | 03:05 |
| lefty_ | almoxarife: but couldn't there be a possible way so when first using i can set the installation size to like 100gigs ? | 03:06 |
| brightspark | milamber, if there are multiple disks in a machine, I know that the installer lets me choose which to install GRUB to. I don't remember which one I installed to, but would like to know because this works and if I break something fiddling with it I should know how to put it back. | 03:06 |
| almoxarife | lefty_: argue that with the wubi developers, they have a channel I believe | 03:07 |
| xangua | lefty_: yes, make a real install...not wubi | 03:07 |

| crassus | Dropbox is a nice commercial product for starters | 03:32 |

| RokcStar | thanks | 03:34 |

| === Guest59001 is now known as Energybender_ | ||
| milamber | MrPumpkincitis: you are getting hosed by your isp | 03:38 |
| crassus | cptp4n: for the terminal? | 03:38 |
| MrPumpkincitis | can you explain milamber | 03:38 |
| crassus | or for just general browsing documents and the web browser? | 03:38 |
| cptp4n | crassus: for general browsing and the web browser, yes. | 03:38 |
| SwedeMike | MrPumpkincitis: you need to provide more information and do more fault finding before there is any chance of understanding what's going on. | 03:38 |
| cptp4n | crassus: I find that I need to stroke the whole side of the touchpad to do a full "page up/down" | 03:39 |
| brightspark | milamber, thank you. If another drive ('sdb'?) were shown, sda would be the likely site still by virtue of being higher alphabetically? I'm trying to understand how to arrive at the answer generally. | 03:39 |
| crassus | cptp4n: ok, in that case, probably a browser extension | 03:39 |
| crassus | there's ones like Smooth Scroll for Chrome and Firefox fwiw | 03:39 |
| cptp4n | crassus: understood. was just hoping for another option because smoothscroll can cause lag on graphics-intensive pages | 03:40 |
| milamber | brightspark: i don't do too much with the mbr so someone else correct me if i am wrong - but i would say yes. sda is the first sata disk it finds sdb the second, and so on | 03:40 |
| crassus | cptp4n: I've noticed that as well | 03:40 |
| crassus | I tend to not scroll with the keyboard much anymore, PgUp/PgDown is a lot faster | 03:40 |
| cptp4n | sure | 03:41 |
| cptp4n | Also, there's a delay when I tap-to-click on the touchpad. As in, when I tap-to-click, it takes a second before the computer recognizes I'm clickin'. If I'm using the hardkey/physical click, there is no delay. | 03:41 |
| brightspark | milamber, my home system (no ubuntu on it yet) has a similar set up, but one is on pata and the other on sata- is there a way to examine the boot records there (as one would likely be hda and the other sda)? | 03:42 |

| milamber | one drive* | 03:46 |
| Charybdis | Hahaha. | 03:46 |
| Charybdis | Ok. | 03:46 |
| Charybdis | Um, there is an mbr on each device (sda, sdb, sdc, etc) | 03:46 |
| Charybdis | fdisk will only tell you how an individual device is partitioned. | 03:47 |
| Charybdis | It saves that partition table to the mbr. | 03:47 |
| dr_willis | there is the drives mbr. then each partition can have a boit record i think | 03:47 |
| Charybdis | Well, not exactly, but that's all most users need to know. | 03:47 |
| Charybdis | No, each partition has a file table. | 03:47 |
| Charybdis | There's only one mbr. | 03:47 |

| HazRPG | dagerik: you could try "apt-cache search <name>" to try and find things, alternatively as others have said software centre, etc | 04:23 |
| aeon-ltd | crassus: yes i'd assume since read/write; but really i would not buy a SSD for it's partition speed | 04:23 |
| stu-2 | hi my ubuntu crashed the other day now i get a message that my profile has not loaded properly what does it all mean? | 04:23 |
| crassus | aeon-ltd: of course, there's other awesomer reasons to buy one, like burning your excess cash weighing you down | 04:24 |
| HazRPG | dagerik: try "apt-cache search ncurses" and read the descriptions of the software it pulls up and you should be able to find it | 04:24 |
| aeon-ltd | crassus: but really it's microseconds you are saving for partitioning | 04:24 |
| crassus | i c | 04:25 |
| aeon-ltd | or at most 1-2 seconds | 04:25 |
| Zanzacar | Has anyone had any success install/playing league of legends on ubuntu 11.10? | 04:25 |
| dagerik | HazRPG: Thanks. Using apt-cache to search for programs was really easy. | 04:25 |
| aeon-ltd | now doing something like intensive overwrites, say zeroing the disk the SSD would win by far | 04:25 |
| crassus | aeon-ltd: what do you think about that news from HP about some uber fast storage system that beats the pants off of flash/SSD stuff even? | 04:26 |
| HazRPG | dagerik: remember, if you've added a new ppa or software source to your list, make sure you run "apt-get update", otherwise "apt-cache search" won't find anything | 04:26 |
| HazRPG | dagerik: also, your welcome ^_^ | 04:27 |

| HazRPG | tbruff13: much appreciated :) | 05:22 |

| HazRPG | MahaVishnu: sure, I'm always up for learning new tricks :) | 05:22 |
| === tum is now known as Guest73104 | ||
| vagothcpp | and shouldn't that simply be "just FYI" | 05:22 |
| cgkades | vagothcpp: if i remember correctly it uses the kernel headers, and those change with every kernel | 05:23 |
| vagothcpp | cgkades, so why not simply have my kernel header installed >.> | 05:23 |
| MahaVishnu | HazRPG$ pretty much you just install the package xbindkeys. then open it with xbindkeys -k press the key you want to map to it will give you the keycodes and edit this file to your liking. then save it to ~/.xbindkeysrc. start 'xbindkeys' and you are good to go. http://paste.ubuntu.com/774983/ | 05:24 |
| cgkades | vagothcpp: everytime you upgrade your linux kernel, you will have to reinstall the video driver. at least that has been my experience with nvidia | 05:25 |
| HazRPG | MahaVishnu: I have heard about xbindkeys before... might give that a go, much thanks :) | 05:25 |
| MahaVishnu | HazRPG$ this works while using pulse audio also. I do this because the on screen display thing always has problems for me and this is much more reliable. | 05:25 |

| nimbiotics | Hello evry1, I was once sent a link in this channel with instruction s on how to install 11.10 w/o unity. Can some1 plz point me to this link? | 05:35 |
| MahaVishnu | sound that is now a days with alsa + pulse audio ( still not 100% sure what pulse even does ) | 05:35 |
| somsip | nimbiotics: you can use the minimal install CD, or one of the other flavours of Ubuntu, such as Xubuntu | 05:36 |
| MahaVishnu | HazRPG$ is it an option to upgrade to 11.10 | 05:36 |
| HazRPG | nimbiotics: if someone's already linked you to it, if you remember what day it was, might be worth looking at the online log to see if you can find it again | 05:36 |
| bobet | KindOne its seems no one is available on #openfire | 05:37 |
| nimbiotics | HazRPG: no, cant remember, but thx | 05:37 |
| HazRPG | MahaVishnu: not really, not until I have a proper play with gnome3 to see if I actually like it | 05:37 |
| nimbiotics | somsip: I'm not sure i wan to change 2 another flavor, but I have considewred it; Unity suckcs big time | 05:38 |
| MahaVishnu | HazRPG$ I heard ya I am on 11.10 but using fluxbox my self. reason I ask is because pulseaudio/alsa can be complicated to reinstall properly in my experience and upgrading might just 'fix' the issue silently ya know what I mean ? | 05:38 |
| somsip | nimbiotics: so you've already installed? | 05:38 |
| HazRPG | MahaVishnu: yeah I get what you mean | 05:39 |
| nimbiotics | somsip: oh yes, but I want to make a fresh install now | 05:39 |
| somsip | nimbiotics: so what are you looking to replace it with? | 05:39 |
| HazRPG | although people will disagree with me, I think however dated gnome2 might be... it still "just works" and does the job its meant to well... gnome3 is just too new for me to see it as viable | 05:40 |
| nimbiotics | somsip: gnome3? I dnt know; whatever is closer to last version and that would allow me to use compiz, which I love. Any suggestions? | 05:40 |
| somsip | !nounity | nimbiotics | 05:41 |
| cgkades | HazRPG: i agree. i hate gnome3 (and unity) | 05:41 |
| ubottu | nimbiotics: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 05:41 |
| somsip | nimbiotics: but with this, you wouldn't uninstall unity. Just not use it | 05:41 |
| nimbiotics | somsip: THX, what is the point of having it if I dnt plan on using Unity? Can I just get rid of Unity completely? TIA | 05:42 |
| somsip | nimbiotics: I believe it's pretty integral to a base install, which is where I started with my first point - reinstall a version that does not use a standard install | 05:43 |
| nimbiotics | somsip: u lost me; what do u mean? | 05:43 |
| somsip | nimbiotics: if you use a minimal install, then install gnome-shell or gnoma-panel, you might avoid the unity packages. Dunno. I don't use gnome | 05:44 |
| nimbiotics | somsip: what do u use? xubuntu u said? | 05:44 |

| HazRPG | cgkades: same, even if unity did fix all the inconsistencies that I feel it has (along with fighting over the screen since I'm a dual-head user), I still don't think I could live with a "dock" over my application bar | 05:45 |

| === tfilipczuk is now known as makaka | ||
| anomalies | passwd root | 06:23 |
| anomalies | after that u can use 'su' command | 06:24 |
| pnorman | !root | 06:24 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:24 |
| anomalies | or sudo su without having the need to put password at root account | 06:24 |

| keepguessing | Hi I do not have a network connection on my ubuntu machine. I have an ubuntu cd and I am trying to install packges from it. however using dpkg -i fails for some because of the dependencies. I usually use apt-get to install on ubuntu. Is there a way in which I could configure apt-get to use also my cdrom as a repository? | 07:37 |
| somsip | grape_: I've found that to be the case. Sometimes osme issues with usb peripherals though | 07:37 |
| keepguessing | I am using ubuntu 11.04 | 07:37 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: the Desktop CD or the alternate CD? | 07:38 |
| keepguessing | Flannel: the cd I used to install the Ubuntu | 07:38 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: That could be either. Did you use a GUI or a text based install? | 07:38 |
| grape_ | somsip: cool, so whereas windows drivers will not work with wine, they will work with the virtual machine? i am trying to hook up a webcam that is old and has no linux drivers/support | 07:38 |
| keepguessing | Flannel: text-based | 07:39 |
| Zeroe | Does anyone know where I can get the documentation for securing ubuntu for server purposes in eCommerce? | 07:39 |
| somsip | grape_: AIUI, this is where there can be problems with USB and VMs, though I've had no experience with that myself. When my webcam was so old and crap that Ubuntu didbn't support it, I bought a new one. | 07:39 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: That's the alternate CD. USUALLY the CD is already in your sources (although it may be disabled). You can check, OR if you just want to add it, stick the CD in, and use `sudo apt-cdrom add` | 07:40 |
| keepguessing | Flannel: apt-cdrom add gives me errors such as version GLIBCXX_3.4.14 not found | 07:40 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: once you've done that, you can sudo apt-get update, and then install whatever from the CD like normal (with your favorite package manager) | 07:40 |
| grape_ | somsip: thanks | 07:40 |
| somsip | grape_: np | 07:41 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: That's odd. Ok, well, lets look to see if you already have the CD in your sources. Since you seem savvy enough, go ahead and peruse /etc/apt/sources.list and the various files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for a deb cdrom:[blahblah line. | 07:42 |
| keepguessing | Flannel: probably it would be write to mention that I do not have gcc in my machine. I was trying to install that and found dependency failures | 07:42 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: If I was wrong in assuming you're comfortable with that, let me know, I'll step you through it. | 07:42 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: You do have gcc, you don't have any libraries for it. At least, by default. | 07:43 |
| ikonia | Flannel: I don't think gcc is installed by default | 07:43 |
| ikonia | Flannel: the libc warning is a concern, quite a big one, smells of mixed versions or a very non-standard install | 07:43 |
| Zanzacar | I noticed something odd. When I do ls -lh in the terminal I get a file at 695M but in the properties in nautilus I get 729M why is that? | 07:44 |
| keepguessing | Flannel: Actually I did not have gcc and the deb pakg installation failed with the error of missing dependencies | 07:44 |
| mr_lou | In my Ubuntu installation at home, I can press WindowsKey + N or M to invert all colors. What is it I have installed in order to be able to do that? I'd like to be able to do the same at work. | 07:44 |
| keepguessing | Flannel: hence I thought using apt-get it woudl be able to find dependencies install them first and then install gcc. | 07:44 |
| Flannel | ikonia: gcc is, but you can't compile anything, because it's missing all sorts of dependencies to actually be useful: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.manifest | 07:45 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: Alright, lets... step back. This is a fresh install? | 07:45 |
| ikonia | Flannel: that is crazy that gcc is now installed by default. | 07:46 |
| Flannel | ikonia: Well, I guess they're not dependencies, I guess it'd just be libraries and headers and whatnot. To my knowledge, you can't compile any type of programs, but 'gcc' exists. | 07:46 |
| Flannel | ikonia: It's always been that way, I think it's a lsb requirement. | 07:46 |
| ikonia | Flannel: lsb does not include gcc | 07:46 |
| ikonia | Flannel: big security risk | 07:46 |

| ilea | how to fix this problem or how to activate desktop cube and dont get this | 07:49 |
| ikonia | how can it be missing the core libc | 07:49 |
| ilea | ? | 07:49 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: Yeah, like we were saying, something is awry. What CD did you use to install? | 07:49 |
| frustro | I was working on a vm and tried a key combo, ctl-alt and - I believe, then my desktop went 800x600, not I have it back to 1280x720 but I have a back bar all around. | 07:49 |
| frustro | *now | 07:50 |
| keepguessing | Flannel: Downloaded the 32 bit 11.04 iso from the ubuntu website | 07:50 |
| keepguessing | Flannel: and installed the default stuff | 07:50 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: I'd try redownloading via bittorrent, then burn and verify from the booted, burned CD. Just to be sure. You definately shouldn't be missing libstdc by default. | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ilea: what video chip are you using? | 07:51 |
| ilea | nvidia | 07:51 |
| Flannel | keepguessing: Here's the link: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ilea: and did you install the proprietary nvidia driver? | 07:51 |
| keepguessing | Flannel: hmm ok | 07:51 |
| ilea | yes i installed the recomanded updated driver | 07:52 |
| ilea | for curent version | 07:52 |
| ilea | wobly window works but i get that when i try to enable desktop cube | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ilea: ok then the default shortcut is Ctrl+ALT plus click and drag afair, or Ctrl+ALT+leftcursor or rightcursor | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ilea: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 07:53 |
| ilea | the problem is that when i activate desktop cube everithing on desktop disapears | 07:53 |

| |Frodo| | hello! I have a strange problem: booting my old notebook (256 MiB RAM; no harddisk) with kubuntu live DVD, my PCMCIA WLAN card (compaq WL 110) is recogniced and configured in a way, that I am able touse WPA. | 08:44 |
| makara | what frontend offers the functionality of the compiz-config-manager - where you can ctrl+alt+num9 to get the window into the top right - for instance | 08:44 |
| pozic | The GUI told me that the upgrade to 11.10 failed while computing requirements. How can I upgrade in some other way? | 08:45 |
| pozic | Or to see some actual problem instead of some dumbed down interface which doesn't tell me anything useful. | 08:45 |
| makara | Frodo: type "rfkill list" and see if any are blocked | 08:45 |
| |Frodo| | poorly I can not lealy work with ubuntu caused of the small RAM size. so I am trying to use "grml" live CD. | 08:45 |
| |Frodo| | the suppising problem is, that with "grml" my WLAN card is not able to use WPA, only WEP is supported there! how can I find out, what ubuntu makes "better" then "grml"? | 08:47 |
| |Frodo| | makara: ok, I#ll try rfkill | 08:48 |
| bobet | any idea how to change password on openfire admin console | 08:48 |
| llutz_ | |Frodo|: check what kernel-module(driver) grml/ubuntu uses, check versions | 08:48 |
| makara | frodo: its something else. really old card? | 08:49 |
| |Frodo| | makara: about 10 years old | 08:49 |
| pozic | I get: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may becaused by held packages. | 08:50 |
| mr_lou | In my Ubuntu installation at home, I can press WindowsKey + N or M to invert all colors. What is it I have installed in order to be able to do that? I'd like to be able to do the same at work. | 08:51 |

| pozic | It's not like I am the only one on the planet with these issues. | 08:54 |

| KNUBBIG | and that might be !ot cause it's not really Ubuntu-related | 10:24 |

| osmosis_paul | Hi, I'm trying to expand the permisions of one user to can access the system by ssh but I cannot found how | 10:36 |
| osmosis_paul | he only have now sftp access? | 10:36 |
| osmosis_paul | any idea please | 10:36 |
| EmoBoiix3 | ? | 10:36 |
| iceroot | osmosis_paul: sftp and ssh are the same | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | osmosis_paul: did you set the user to the shell /bin/flase | 10:36 |
| iceroot | osmosis_paul: if you have ssh access you have sftp access, if you have sftp access you have ssh access | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | /bin/false sorry | 10:37 |
| EmoBoiix3 | anyone compiled Android using Ubuntu? | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: if youo set a false shell (false instead of bash) will that stop sftp access | 10:37 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: yes | 10:37 |
| osmosis_paul | no, no I'm my configuration we give rules to connect some users only with sftp tools no by terminal | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: bums | 10:37 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: sftp needs a valid login-shell too | 10:37 |
| iceroot | osmosis_paul: you mean sftp? not ftps? or ftp? | 10:38 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: imo there was a special login-shell to have sftp and not ssh | 10:38 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: but that is not the default | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/94 | 10:38 |
| iceroot | osmosis_paul: sftp = ftp over ssh | 10:38 |
| osmosis_paul | iceroot, I know | 10:38 |
| osmosis_paul | but I create a special rule to give them sftp access but not by terminal | 10:39 |
| osmosis_paul | and now I dont know how to give them that rights again | 10:39 |
| osmosis_paul | so sftp yes but not ssh by terminal. | 10:39 |
| iceroot | osmosis_paul: usermod -s /usr/lib/sftp-server username so give only sftp access, usermod -s /bin/bash username to give ssh and sftp access | 10:40 |
| osmosis_paul | iceroot, thanks a lot dude! | 10:41 |

| EmoBoiix3 | Hey guys, noob question here.....but which desktop takes up the least RAM? | 10:43 |
| iceroot | EmoBoiix3: from the supported ones, lxde (lubuntu-desktop) | 10:43 |
| EmoBoiix3 | I see, thank you :) | 10:44 |
| osmosis_paul | iceroot, does not work, are you sure is usermod -s /bin/bash username??? | 10:44 |
| iceroot | osmosis_paul: sudo usermod -s /bin/bash username | 10:45 |
| EmoBoiix3 | well, there's a strange thing with LXDE.....it doesn't allow me to overwrite folders. It'll come up with a "Directory not empty" error. | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4: np man | 10:45 |
| iceroot | osmosis_paul: -s, --shell SHELL The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell. | 10:45 |
| osmosis_paul | iceroot, I'm connected as root | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | EmoBoiix3: is that in pcmanfm? | 10:45 |
| EmoBoiix3 | yes | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | EmoBoiix3: let me try | 10:45 |
| EmoBoiix3 | I'm logged in as root.....if that helps | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | EmoBoiix3: could be why | 10:46 |
| iceroot | EmoBoiix3: dont use the desktop as root | 10:47 |
| EmoBoiix3 | :/ I need root for other stuff..... | 10:47 |
| EmoBoiix3 | Oh well | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | EmoBoiix3: I just made an empty folder, then the same named folder in a different location and I was asked if I wanted to overwrite | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | EmoBoiix3: just use sudo, you don't need root all the time and running an X server as root is not very smart | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | EmoBoiix3: nor is running a web browser as root either... | 10:48 |
| DarkStar1 | Hi all Does the amd 64 download of ubuntu means that I can install it in a core i5 system? | 10:49 |

| MrPumpkincitis | where? | 11:40 |

| coldwind | it's my (subjective) impression that bugs and regressions in the Ubuntu desktop increase with each new release; isn't there a plan to solve this problem? there seems to be too much focus on new features and new shiny desktop technologies while a lot of laptops are working worse with each new release... | 11:44 |
| MrPumpkincitis | is there a command I can use to locate the usr/directory | 11:44 |
| MrPumpkincitis | that shows its path | 11:45 |
| Twinkletoes | MrPumpkincitis: I told you where it is... it's there alright | 11:45 |
| Twinkletoes | MrPumpkincitis: It's path is /usr | 11:45 |
| MrPumpkincitis | i went to my /home and showing hidden files and not seeing it | 11:45 |
| Twinkletoes | MrPumpkincitis: If you open a terminal, and type: ls -al /usr you'll see it's contents | 11:45 |

| MrPumpkincitis | so how do i get to the top level | 11:47 |
| tightwork | coldwind: I suppose a lot of this is because ubuntu follows debian tooth and nail | 11:47 |
| Twinkletoes | MrPumpkincitis: The top level is referred to as / | 11:48 |

| === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ | ||
| coldwind | tightwork: actually I think it's because of too rapid changes. All technologies in the ubuntu desktop are turned upside down with pretty much every release. This leads to many regressions if the release cycle is too short | 11:48 |
| tightwork | coldwind: sure thats the idea of having a stable branch | 11:49 |
| coldwind | tightwork: yep, of course Debian does not have this problem because each stable release takes years before launch ;) | 11:49 |
| coldwind | but Ubuntu is probably too on the other extreme these days | 11:49 |

| tightwork | what are you trying to do? | 11:58 |
| tightwork | just code? | 11:59 |
| coldwind | tightwork: yeah, most of the time | 11:59 |

| mazda01 | brainfart, how do i get the location bar at the top of nautilus to appear? | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: ctrl-l | 12:00 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, thanks | 12:00 |
| coldwind | my rant comes from silly regressions: mouse stops working is the latest one | 12:00 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: theres some setting to make it always show. | 12:01 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, my issue is that somehow the built in cd/dvd creator app has a file owned by root in it so I cant delete or do anything to it | 12:01 |
| tightwork | coldwind: hardware is good? | 12:01 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: odd.. You running nautulus as root right now? | 12:01 |
| coldwind | tightwork: sure, it's a new X-related bug | 12:02 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, i can | 12:03 |

| dr_willis | mazda01: from what ive seen in here.. often running nautilus as root, can cause some config files and so forth to get made in the users home, but owned by root. so i make a point to never run nautilus as root. :) | 12:03 |
| tightwork | coldwind: oh synaptics touchpad eh | 12:03 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, it's gksudo, not sudo | 12:04 |
| coldwind | tightwork: USB mouse stops clicks stop working too ;) | 12:04 |
| tightwork | coldwind: if it makes you feel better. I recently ran my i5 acer laptop all weekend on the sabayon live cd for testing.. all good | 12:04 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: honestly cant say ive ever notice it make a differance. :) im on a headless server 90% of the time these days | 12:04 |

| tightwork | if u like that :) | 12:04 |
| coldwind | tightwork: I might give it a try at some point | 12:05 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, lol, gotcha. i have gnome on my main workstation | 12:05 |

| dr_willis | noticed the touchpad on my new netbook supports 2 fingers = scrolling today. | 12:06 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | quick question lads...(been looking on google but could not find anything ) how can i figure out /calculate the type of encryption based on the number of digits a password has? | 12:06 |
| tightwork | you cant | 12:07 |
| pybit | passwd.len() | 12:07 |
| tightwork | unless you just or guess the cipher. its not gonna happen | 12:07 |
| tightwork | know or guess | 12:08 |
| affan2fly | . | 12:09 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | ok lemme refrase it.. wpa/wpa 2 type of encryption selected on my router... right? say... around 63 digits... how many bits of encryption would result 128 256? is it a formula to calculate or someting? | 12:09 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, so, here's a photo of my dillema. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NpnZSo2Crr0/Tu8pbvLdE3I/AAAAAAAABmc/jk4qFTRcaNk/s800/IMAGE_EF280070-8649-42EA-A436-0AF55B145AF9.JPG | 12:09 |
| pybit | prolly a 128bit | 12:10 |
| iSeeDeadPixels | oi :) | 12:10 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | a character would be a 4 bits right? | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | heh. that url is so long.. i cant click on it.. :) | 12:10 |
| iceroot | Gorilla_No_Baka: char = 1 byte = 8 bit | 12:10 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, alright, one second | 12:10 |
| mazda01 | tiny url here I come | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | gotta reenable that tiny-url script for weechat someday | 12:10 |
| dr_willis | it auto-tinyurls those things.. which is handy | 12:10 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, http://tiny.cc/359ia | 12:11 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | iceroot: stand by... lemme do some calculs | 12:11 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | iceroot: 8multipled by 63 that is 504 .. would that mean i just set a 504 bits encryption on my router (wpa/wpa2) | 12:12 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: i missed what the problem is... | 12:13 |
| iceroot | Gorilla_No_Baka: i would suggest to do some reading on wikipedia about encryption | 12:13 |
| dubey | hello | 12:13 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, can't get that iso image out of that burn box | 12:13 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | there must be a forumula to calculate this kind of things...i tryoed.. there is nothing.. telling you how would you go on about calculating the type of encryption resulted from a certain lenght of a password | 12:13 |
| dubey | i have downloaded ubuntu 11.10 server edition to try UEC, but didn't find any option during installation | 12:13 |
| iceroot | Gorilla_No_Baka: that has nothing to do with ubuntu and is offtopic here | 12:14 |
| dubey | does it require to install something else after installation ? | 12:14 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: you can find that .iso in your users home? | 12:14 |
| dr_willis | !info uec | 12:15 |
| ubottu | Package uec does not exist in oneiric | 12:15 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | iceroot.. as far as i am aware ubuntu comes with a networkmanager , wirelesss and ethernet and the whole nine.. things that require a password... encryption and all that | 12:15 |
| iceroot | Gorilla_No_Baka: but an easy example echo "hello_world" | md5sum and "echo "foo" | md5sum will get the same hash-lenght... | 12:15 |
| iceroot | Gorilla_No_Baka: windows also use encryption on wifi | 12:15 |
| iceroot | Gorilla_No_Baka: and mac os, unix, android, debian, fedora and so on | 12:16 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | who cares about windows..? | 12:16 |
| iceroot | Gorilla_No_Baka: so its offtopic here | 12:16 |
| iceroot | Gorilla_No_Baka: do some reading about that on wikipedia | 12:16 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | :) iceman.. i repeat.. there is nothing on wiki.. | 12:16 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | nevermind.. | 12:16 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | thanks anyway | 12:16 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, no, it's not stored in home | 12:17 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, it came from a network drive. | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: so thats just the history of stuff you burnt in the past? | 12:17 |
| iceroot | Gorilla_No_Baka: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCMP | 12:17 |
| mazda01 | omg, how do i stop the audio bell of a alarm-clock alram? LOL | 12:17 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, that's what I burnt last, yes | 12:18 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, this is a new problem as I never copied and pasted stuff owned by root in there in the past | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: could be some config file in .config or .local then im guessing. | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | that is listing the history | 12:18 |
| dubey | any suggestion ? | 12:18 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, DING, thought just came over me, 1 second | 12:18 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | iceroot: reading... | 12:18 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, changed the ownership of that iso and still, i can't choose remove or delete. there has to be some way of accessing burn///: as root but it wont go | 12:20 |
| iSeeDeadPixels | does anyone know how to install ubuntu server autonomously? i have a PC of which the GPU is broken, so i want to access it through SSH... | 12:20 |
| iSeeDeadPixels | but it's not yet installed | 12:20 |
| mazda01 | iSeeDeadPixels, sure, you can use the textual installer | 12:20 |
| mazda01 | iSeeDeadPixels, oh wait, no GPU at all? | 12:21 |
| iSeeDeadPixels | umm nope | 12:21 |
| iSeeDeadPixels | no gpu | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: so you ran the burner app as root at one time? | 12:23 |
| Future28 | Anyone here running ubuntu server? | 12:23 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, so, i put in new blank dvd and this pops up. if I lick yes then I cant do anything because it has that iso image in it. what command is it to launch that box so I can just alt-f2 and run gksudo before the commnd? | 12:23 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, no | 12:23 |

| mazda01 | dr_willis, ubuntu 10.04.3 | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | mazda01: it could be the history/config for that app is for some reason owned by root. so your user cant change it. | 12:24 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, stock install with tons of customizations BUT i doubt i changed anyting with that burning box that pops up | 12:24 |

| MonkeyDust | or not use xchat | 12:57 |
| mazda01 | dr_willis, will try the .config dir rename trick. | 12:57 |

| CommanderMeat | Hi; I'm a pretty heavy gamer and I installed linux to get a smoother mouse input, But, I'm experiencing some sort of 'input lag' for lack of better terms, And I'm really not sure how to remedy it | 13:20 |
| jutnux | Unmute the speakers alexxander. | 13:20 |
| alexxander | they aren't muted, are they? :s | 13:21 |
| jutnux | Yes. | 13:21 |
| jutnux | MM = Muted. | 13:21 |
| alexxander | well, it's telling me they arent | 13:21 |
| alexxander | when i hit mute/unmute, they go to muted | 13:21 |
| alexxander | so how do i unmute on alsamixer? | 13:22 |
| jutnux | Press M | 13:22 |

| naked89tt | i_is_broke, ok I'll try | 13:40 |
| akem | BluesKaj, "alsa-utils is already the newest version." | 13:41 |
| ksx4system | naked89tt: tell me your Ubuntu version, your Opera version, architecture (32 or 64-bit Ubuntu?) and what is most important - where from have you installed flash? | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | naked89tt: how did you install flash? | 13:41 |
| akem | BluesKaj, but the package have no bin or etc | 13:42 |
| akem | so maybe it has change since then | 13:42 |
| naked89tt | dr_willis, I go to 'adobe' and download 'deb' then installed. | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | naked89tt: its most likely a better idea to use the pacakge manager flash installer tool. | 13:43 |
| i_is_broke | naked89tt, should of used apt-get | 13:43 |
| dr_willis | thats what i did. and flash in opera is working. | 13:43 |

| drake01 | Hi guys, I want to have linux tty to show the output using one of the pagers instead of just dumping on the tty screen when its more than one screen.. Its a bit annoying.. Any solution?? | 13:47 |
| BluesKaj | akem, open alsamixer in the terminal , make sure the soundcard is listed at the top left | 13:47 |
| akem | ok restarting pulseaudio did it. | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | drake01: for every command ran? not sure thats really possible. | 13:47 |
| akem | BluesKaj, thanks anyway. | 13:48 |
| dr_willis | drake01: screen can give you a scroll-up feature.. actually the console might have one by default without screen | 13:48 |
| dr_willis | bbl ya all..off to the store | 13:49 |
| drake01 | dr_willis: Not every command but when the output of the command is more than one full screen. Scroll up is still possible using shift+pageup.. | 13:49 |

| usr13 | I have a friend that just did the last batch of updates and she says not that her Ubuntu LTS system will not stay connected to the wired connection to her DSL router. Any ideas as to what that could have been? | 14:09 |
| usr13 | She's called me and I don't know what to tell her. Anyone? | 14:10 |
| jutnux | usr13: Impossible to tell without being there, especially with a friend. | 14:10 |
| usr13 | jutnux: Yea, I know. | 14:10 |
| usr13 | She is 250mi from me. | 14:10 |
| jutnux | usr13: tell her to put iwconfig into a terminal and get her to tell you the output | 14:11 |
| usr13 | But she thinks it has to do with the last updates. | 14:11 |
| usr13 | BUT, I think she may have put off updating for a couple months, so.... | 14:11 |
| usr13 | (reason I say that is that I had talked to her last week and I told her to see if there were updates pending and there were, after she pulled the trigger on it and rebooted, there have been networking issues.) | 14:13 |

| elb0w | Twinkletoes: ty | 14:22 |
| Twinkletoes | elb0w: update-rc.d --help is a good start though :) | 14:22 |
| theadmin | MrPumpkincitis: Also, a space is $IFS by default (i.e. Internal Field Separator), that means if a space is a part of a folder/file name you must enclose the name in quotes, like "a b c" or 'a b c' | 14:22 |
| usr13 | elb0w: or man update-rc.d | 14:23 |
| usr13 | elb0w: In answer to your last question: Why not just uninstall it now and just re-install it later on if you decide you want to use it again? | 14:26 |
| elb0w | its not neccesary | 14:27 |
| usr13 | my point exactly... if it is not necessary and not being used, uninstall it. | 14:27 |
| elb0w | usr13: why are you arguing that point lmao | 14:27 |
| elb0w | Why need to store a mysqldump or the structure or any residual data vs disabling it from starting up? | 14:28 |
| usr13 | elb0w: Just answering your question. | 14:28 |
| elb0w | I never asked if I should uninstall mysql | 14:28 |
| usr13 | elb0w: Ok, well you've been told how to dissable it, (and I don't understand your last question), so enough on that subject. | 14:29 |

| buscon | hi, I'm writing a script to execute some commands on a remote machine | 14:31 |
| buscon | I need to execute some commands as root, so I'm connecting with my normal user and using sudo | 14:32 |
| fidel | hi | 14:32 |
| buscon | now I'm looking a way to prevent sudo to ask me the pass for every command that I run | 14:32 |
| buscon | how can I do that | 14:32 |
| buscon | ? | 14:32 |
| fidel | how can i prevent the unity launcher from hiding ? | 14:32 |
| elb0w | buscon: you would have to connect as root which I wouldnt do | 14:33 |
| fidel | i expected it should work via compizconfig | 14:33 |
| elb0w | buscon: what language? | 14:33 |
| fidel | compizConfig Settings Manager | 14:33 |
| deej1976 | !ccsm | fidel | 14:33 |
| ubottu | fidel: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 14:33 |
| buscon | elb0w, exactly, that's not a good idea, the sysadmin is of the same idea ;) | 14:33 |
| buscon | elb0w, bash | 14:33 |
| theadmin | buscon: err, well... | 14:33 |
| deej1976 | !sudo | buscon | 14:34 |
| ubottu | buscon: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 14:34 |
| theadmin | buscon: EDITOR=your_favorite_cli_text_editor_eg_nano_or_vim sudo visudo # Edit the file, add something like this at the end: your_username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL | 14:34 |

| fidel | but it doenst seem to work | 14:35 |
| fidel | that **** launcher/dock still autohides | 14:35 |
| fidel | hide launcher: never is supposed to be the correct setting right? | 14:35 |
| usr13 | buscon: You would need to edit the sudoers file (visudo) but we don't recommend doing it. Not haveing to use a password for admin privileges is a breach of security. | 14:35 |
| buscon | usr13, ok, I know but I need to execute some commands and to check if they worked | 14:36 |
| deej1976 | fidel: So in CCSM, ubuntu unity plugin, Behaviour, Hide Launcher - Never ? | 14:37 |
| buscon | on the other side I cannot enter the pass for every command... | 14:37 |
| fidel | deej1976: yes that what i tried already | 14:37 |
| usr13 | buscon: Start a super-user session | 14:37 |
| fidel | it still hides | 14:37 |
| usr13 | buscon: sudo su - | 14:37 |
| fidel | do i need to relogin to make that setting active? i doubt that | 14:37 |
| buscon | usr13, do u mean root ? | 14:37 |
| deej1976 | fidel: Close the CCSM ? | 14:37 |
| fidel | i did already | 14:37 |
| buscon | that's remotely | 14:37 |

| fidel | thanks once again | 14:39 |
| buscon | usr13, yes | 14:39 |
| theadmin | buscon: "sudo -i" will grant you a root shell. | 14:39 |
| usr13 | why not just give the password? | 14:39 |
| usr13 | buscon: Or yes, sudo -i | 14:40 |
| buscon | usr13, because I have plenty of commands to run... | 14:40 |
| elb0w | whats the difference between sudo -i and -s? | 14:40 |
| usr13 | I'm sure the sysadmin wouldn't want you to change sudoers so that no password is needed. | 14:40 |
| llutz | elb0w: -i (simulate initial login) -s (just a shell) | 14:41 |
| usr13 | buscon: But it's up to you. We have given you adequate information. | 14:41 |
| Pumpkin- | elb0w: subtle things related to getting a brand new environment, or inheriting bits of your current one. | 14:41 |
| buscon | usr13, definitively, thanks | 14:41 |
| elb0w | Pumpkin-: ah figured ok thanks | 14:41 |
| buscon | theadmin, thanks too | 14:41 |
| theadmin | elb0w: What they said.Generally, you never want -s. | 14:42 |
| elb0w | theadmin: if im just editing files I like s so I get all my vim config | 14:42 |
| Pumpkin- | I pretty much only use -s if I'm doing something odd, like running some lump of crap installer that needs X and root (hi Oracle !). | 14:42 |
| theadmin | Pumpkin-: gksu? | 14:43 |
| jutnux | gksudo* | 14:43 |
| jutnux | Wasn't gksu removed? | 14:43 |
| elb0w | But if you dont normally use root and have your JAVA_HOME and such set in your own user config why not sudo -s? | 14:43 |
| theadmin | jutnux: Same stuff on Ubuntu by default | 14:43 |
| jutnux | Oh right, my bad. I thought it had been removed. | 14:43 |
| goddard | my server keeps booting my out of my ssh session after i login I get "Connection to 1.1.1.1 closed." | 14:44 |
| Pumpkin- | nah, I knew about gksudo, but it doesn't work with this oracle rubbish. sudo -s does however, so I'm sticking with what I know works if I've got to use this horrible stuff :). | 14:44 |
| theadmin | Pumpkin-: Crazy installer they haz | 14:44 |
| fidel | deej1976: the problem i didnt realize in the first place - it was unity-2d | 14:45 |
| fidel | and in that case the ccsm settings dont work | 14:45 |
| fidel | it works via dconf | 14:45 |
| usr13 | looks like the only difference in -i and -s is the working directory is changed, or not changed. | 14:45 |
| theadmin | usr13: No, not really, check all the environment variables, some of them end up changing | 14:46 |
| deej1976 | fidel: Thanks for the information | 14:46 |
| usr13 | Looks to me like su -i is equivilent to: sudo su - and sudo -s is equivilent to: sudo su | 14:46 |
| usr13 | theadmin: Yea probably a difference of environment variables, but the use has mostly same. | 14:47 |
| usr13 | *user | 14:47 |
| usr13 | But sudo -i is the recommended method, (and fewer keystrokes). | 14:48 |

| fidel | theadmin: it depends on the model yes - but in case of the eeepc (laptop) it was easier then expected | 14:59 |
| silvercat | fidel: well yeah kinda, it's a full HD 16" screen, dual lamp and all. wanted to use this computer as a media center whenever i get around of buying a TV with HDMI, so don't want to put a lot of money into it | 14:59 |

| usr13 | silvercat: YOu could put an xrandr command in /etc/rc.local | 15:01 |
| usr13 | silvercat: Well, it would probably need to be run as user, not root.... I think. | 15:02 |
| theadmin | usr13: That doesn't even make sense, those are executed before X even starts and xrandr needs x... | 15:02 |
| usr13 | theadmin: Yea it needs to be done in user space too. | 15:02 |
| usr13 | right? | 15:02 |
| * theadmin is /away | 15:02 | |
| theadmin | (NOT an automated away message, just saying so nobody bothers me) | 15:03 |
| silvercat | usr13: i tried invoking an xrandr-command in x but it claims it didn't detect anything on the vga.. | 15:03 |
| usr13 | silvercat: man xrandr | 15:03 |
| silvercat | usr13: however the nvidia-settings-application does detect my monityor | 15:03 |
| usr13 | silvercat: Oh yea, that is a separate problem. | 15:04 |
| CarlFK | silvercat: you have a vga monitor plugged in? I am thinking there is a bios settting to make that the primary/main/only display | 15:04 |
| gwelter | silvercat: you can use the video kernel parameter for disabling/enabling outputs | 15:04 |
| usr13 | silvercat: You will also need to specify proper screen size | 15:04 |

| tomodach1 | has aonyone any POSITIV experience with nvidia 9400GT and nouveau? for me i just get random hangs on two different computers | 15:06 |
| CarlFK | you need to use nouveau to bring peace and happyness to the world :) | 15:06 |
| silvercat | gwelter: hm, everywhere i read says i should use the binary instead of nouveau :P for hardware acceleration and 3d and whatnot | 15:06 |
| tomodach1 | silvercat: actually if you dont play games its quite nice , felt even smoother in unity, untill it just stopped working for me. | 15:07 |
| gwelter | silvercat: yeah, that's a problem :) | 15:07 |
| tomodach1 | silvercat: integratinon with the desktop was nicer, you connect a screen it automatically pops up and sets the right resolution etc. | 15:07 |
| CarlFK | I have been using nouveau for over a year - works fine for whatever I do | 15:07 |
| usr13 | silvercat: I wonder if it would make a difference if you switch to open-source video driver? | 15:08 |
| ichbinder | hello channel. How can I add words to the default dictionary? I'm writing a thesis in latex using Texmaker and it does automatic spellchecking. The selected dictionary is /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en-US.dic How can I add a word to that dictionary? It's not a texmaker specific question, rather about these default dictionaries in Ubuntu, in general. Thanks for taking the time to read this! | 15:08 |

| tomodach1 | CarlFK: worst case, switch back to the binary | 15:09 |

| amukherjee | does anyone have a way to disable the emacs bindings in firefox text boxes? I've tried changing it in gconftool but it doesn't seem to stick/ | 15:11 |
| tomodach1 | CarlFK: ah , well more about positiv as in using my card and finding a fix. | 15:12 |
| CarlFK | tomodach1: ah, sorry, no help here. | 15:12 |
| ichbinder | hm, I can also click on "Ckeck Spelling Selection" and that has an option saying "Always Ignore"... not the same as "adding" it to the dictionary, is it? If I click "Always Ignore" it also does not remove the red wave underneath the word. So it is still considered wrong... | 15:12 |

| devsys | alishah: | 15:14 |

| === rcmaehl is now known as why | ||
| jutnux | !unity | 15:41 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 15:41 |
| jutnux | !notunity | sanderlt | 15:41 |
| ubottu | sanderlt: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 15:41 |

| Dl145 | sskalnik: no i dont.. I suspect there is a problem with grub, pressing shift during startup doesnt do anything either | 16:16 |
| webnet | usr13, Exactly! thats what i love, and if i truly like software and use it ALOT i will usually donate to the devs once in a while | 16:16 |
| usr13 | webnet: Very commendable of you. | 16:17 |
| webnet | :) | 16:17 |
| webnet | devs need food too. lol | 16:17 |
| theadmin | Oh that reminds me, I gotta donate to Arch now that they accept donations again. | 16:17 |
| shai28 | Hello, I would like to copy file to existing folder and I would like the copy action to override files without asking me? | 16:17 |
| theadmin | shai28: cp -f file /your/folder/ | 16:18 |
| usr13 | (I have too, not as often as I should tho...) | 16:18 |
| einseenai | theadmin, thanks a lot. and if i don't set up anything at all? and how would i set it up? can i make some programs use one or another? | 16:18 |
| theadmin | einseenai: man route | 16:18 |
| theadmin | einseenai: And, eh, if you don't set it up I doubt it will even work... Not so sure on this one. | 16:18 |
| theadmin | einseenai: I never had tried two active connections, that's messy, really. | 16:18 |
| glebaron | I have a dumb question about smb mounts. When I mount an smb share, it shows up on my desktop and I can browse it with nautilus. Where is it mounted in the filesystem and how can I browse it from the shell? | 16:19 |
| rex1980 | screen tremble?????? | 16:19 |
| usr13 | good to see there are plenty of donation-minded folks here :) | 16:19 |
| yeehaw | glebaron: /mnt/ ? | 16:19 |
| theadmin | glebaron: Ctrl+L in the nautilus window where it's opened, you'll see the location | 16:19 |
| untermensch | I'm running in tty1, (no x server). and i can't access my external hard drive. do i need to mount it first? if so how? | 16:19 |
| theadmin | yeehaw: No, /mnt is never touched by graphical utilities. | 16:19 |
| theadmin | untermensch: man mount | 16:19 |
| yeehaw | theadmin: Did not know that, always use a command line mount :P | 16:19 |
| untermensch | theadmin: will mounting it fix the problem? | 16:20 |
| iceowl | glebaron: open a terminal and type "mount", and you'll get a list of everything that's mounted and where | 16:20 |
| rex1980 | o | 16:20 |
| theadmin | untermensch: Yeah, likely | 16:20 |
| untermensch | then i shall return | 16:20 |
| einseenai | theadmin, thx. the thing is just i now have 2 connection, wifi connection doesn't allow me to use irc ports, but usb one - does, that's why i'm here. that's what caused my question. usb connection was the second i estblished. | 16:20 |

| sskalnik | Dl145: Checked the install image and HDD for errors? Also, if you boot to a live environment, what can you determine about the installed OS? | 16:22 |
| theadmin | einseenai: Still, I honestly have never used multiple connections, so I can't help, sorry. | 16:25 |
| untermensch | theadmin: how do i mount an external drive? | 16:26 |
| theadmin | untermensch: sudo fdisk -l, determine which partition you want | 16:26 |
| einseenai | theadmin, thanks anyway. :) i now know i have to see ip route. just wanted to understand mechanism behind it. | 16:27 |
| untermensch | theadmin: that does not seem helpful | 16:27 |
| usr13 | untermensch: sudo mkdir /mnt/usb-drive ; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb-drive | 16:27 |

| untermensch | yeah i have networking | 16:28 |
| nathanael | usr13: I have that, wondered if there was any configuration needed :) | 16:29 |

| cconstantine | everytime I open a gnome-terminal the menubar is on, but I have it disabled in my default session. Oddly enough the 'view' menu indicates that it is disabled, and I have to 'enable' it to disable it. Is this a known bug? | 16:31 |
| niftylettuce_ | usr13: where is that .pl and .sh stored? | 16:31 |
| Dl145 | sskalnik: yes, the md5 sum is correct.. so is the hdd.. | 16:31 |

| karthick87 | i have 250 GB of harddisk & 1 GB of Ram. Can anyone give me the partition schema for installing ubuntu? Like boot = ? Swap = ? Root = ? | 16:32 |
| theadmin | cconstantine: And indeed, what mneptok said. | 16:32 |
| cconstantine | mneptok, I'm not using launcher | 16:32 |
| usr13 | theadmin: You should ask if he wants to mount it peramently, or just for one session. | 16:32 |
| mneptok | !launchpad > cconstantine | 16:32 |
| ubottu | cconstantine, please see my private message | 16:32 |
| cconstantine | theadmin, that's a google query I'm guessing | 16:32 |
| theadmin | karthick87: /boot - 2G or so, swap = 2G, root = 30G, rest for home. Should be fine. | 16:32 |
| why | karthick87: boot = 100 - 250 MB, Swap = 2GB | 16:32 |
| why | karthick87: root 20 - 40gb, rest for home | 16:32 |
| theadmin | why: With Ubuntu that much for boot is never enough, it doesn't autoremove old kernels | 16:32 |
| cconstantine | mneptok, ah, sorry. I was thought the ubuntu unity stuff was called launcher | 16:33 |
| why | theadmin: true :\ I should have accounted for that | 16:33 |

| nick55556 | jutnux because i finished working on it after 2 hours of pain | 16:35 |

| saptak | can anybody help me..... | 16:41 |
| theadmin | cconstantine_: Well, odd, but then again -- Ubuntu always does tons of patches for most software so vanilla stuff doesn't usually work | 16:41 |

| sskalnik | me-1: Definitely! Otherwise I would personally be in a lot of trouble. :0 | 16:46 |

| me-1 | sskalnik, fine but I refuse to accept MS EULA | 16:47 |
| LjL | me-1: you don't have to accept any Microsoft EULA to use basic WINE. you have if you install additional proprietary files in it. that might be prompted by default, but you don't have to do it. | 16:47 |
| silvercat | Gentoo64: i think it fell back to framebuffer | 16:48 |
| linuxrealm | is this how simplebackup works? what other products can i use to accomplish this... | 16:48 |
| Gentoo64 | silvercat, nouveau should work without an xorg.conf | 16:48 |
| linuxrealm | also, i was just trying to pull back home dir stuff, not system files and such | 16:48 |
| sskalnik | me-1: While admirable on the face of it, wouldn't that same logic preclude your use of the probably proprietary software that you'd tun under wine? | 16:49 |

| abu-bakr | the internet might have been a little slower than usual (not much) since I was doing a download on another machine.. also its in the config stage at the moment..? | 17:00 |
| isa | Gentoo64, why? | 17:01 |
| abu-bakr | oh well, i hope it works at least! | 17:01 |
| Gentoo64 | isa, rephrase the question | 17:01 |
| GTRsdk2 | Which package has GRUB 2 and the GRUB 2 configuration files? | 17:01 |
| isa | is it possible that my mouse doesn't work because i didn't upgrade/udate the system? | 17:02 |
| abu-bakr | btw does anyone use empathy for irc? (i want to turn off the '...has joined the room' notifications) | 17:02 |
| Gentoo64 | isa, not if nothign has changed | 17:02 |
| Dl145 | sskalnik: Im during the installation process again, it gets to where I can create partitions etc.. the drive on which I want to create the partition for ubuntu server is called "SDB" and the USB Flash Drive is SDA.. Does this do a difference? | 17:02 |
| Gentoo64 | isa, does it not work at all? | 17:02 |
| usr13 | GTRsdk2: grub2 | 17:02 |
| isa | the thing is that is working sometimes | 17:02 |
| GTRsdk2 | usr13: Thanks. Is that installed in a vanilla Ubuntu install? | 17:02 |
| Gentoo64 | isa, in what way does it not work? | 17:02 |
| geekbri | I'm trying to install a package that has a dependency that i have already installed (from sourcE). Is there a way to tell ubuntu "Don't install this package, I have an equivalent installed already" | 17:02 |
| usr13 | GTRsdk2: Yes | 17:03 |
| isa | when i put turn my pc on in the black screen appears something like this: ================================================ | 17:03 |
| Gentoo64 | hmm | 17:03 |
| isa | and the starts and the mouse doen't work | 17:03 |
| GTRsdk2 | geekbri: I don't think that is possible if the package names are different. Or at least without trying to rebuild it. | 17:03 |
| Gentoo64 | mabe an xorg driver bug | 17:03 |
| Gentoo64 | idk | 17:03 |
| Tech-1 | is one of the buttons stuck ? | 17:03 |
| geekbri | GTRsdk2: basically i built rubygems from source and it wants to install ruby gems from DPKG. :( | 17:03 |
| Gentoo64 | isa, check dmesg for the sake of it | 17:04 |
| isa | no i don't think so, but maybve that's the problem | 17:04 |
| sskalnik | Dl145: That is kinda of odd, but shouldn't break the system. Confirm that the installer installs to the HDD and not the USB? | 17:04 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | isa is this after grub ? , does ctrl-alt-f1 show anything | 17:04 |
| isa | what is dmesg? | 17:04 |
| GTRsdk2 | geekbri: That would cause the issue. I think if you already have it installed, it should be safe to try to install it without installing rubygems from dpkg, but I don't know for sure. | 17:05 |

| Gentoo64 | !nounity | 17:05 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 17:05 |
| Dl145 | sskalnik: That's confirmed.. I did a manually partitioning.. | 17:05 |
| Gentoo64 | isa, log files, its a command | 17:05 |
| geekbri | GTRsdk2: yeah, the problem is it views rubygems1.8 as a dependency... I suppose I am trying to look for a way to tell it, no this is installed already. Maybe some sort of stub package? | 17:05 |
| isa | ok, but i am a total beginner | 17:05 |
| isa | i'm not sure how to do that | 17:06 |
| Gentoo64 | isa: just type dmesg in terminal | 17:06 |
| sskalnik | abu-bakr: That is indeed odd. You might file a bug or post in the forums. | 17:06 |
| isa | aah, ok i will do that and then i will tell you | 17:06 |

| puff | I'm working a job where they all use skype, is there some way I can connect to skype via empathy? | 17:08 |
| GTRsdk2 | geekbri: If it is a dependency for the package, then the only way to install the package would be to rebuild it and have the dependency changed. But I don't think that is supported here, since that is advanced stuff and could cause more issues if not done properly. | 17:08 |

| Gentoo64 | iToast: and this is ubuntu | 17:08 |
| iToast | I've been booting ubuntu from a eHDD but it has Arch on its internel 2gb of storage... | 17:08 |

| puff | Hm, speaking of empathy/gtalk, I just went to change my status from offline to online, and it says "untrusted". | 17:09 |
| glebaron | Dl145, I had the same problem with an install I was doing from a stick. It installed to the stick instead of the server. | 17:09 |
| puff | Something about the certificate being self-signed. | 17:09 |
| woozly | thanks guys! | 17:09 |
| Gentoo64 | iToast: ok, so whats the problem? | 17:09 |
| glebaron | Dl145, Rather than mess with it, I just switched to a CD and the install went perfectly. | 17:10 |
| Dl145 | glebaron: using Guided Partitioning? Im doing it manually, so it should have installed to the right drive, but it doesnt boot up from the drive.. | 17:10 |
| iToast | Gentoo64: nothing, just found it interesting | 17:10 |
| glebaron | Dl145, I always manually partition. | 17:10 |
| iToast | But i do wan't to reset my root password | 17:10 |
| Gentoo64 | iToast: whats that got to do with that? :s | 17:10 |
| iToast | Im following the advice of people here and transfering over SFTP | 17:10 |
| iToast | But i'm using root. | 17:11 |
| Dl145 | glebaron: problem is, I do not have a cd drive in the server | 17:11 |
| iToast | ... | 17:11 |
| iToast | Whats with all the drops. | 17:11 |
| Gentoo64 | iToast: why would you reset the password | 17:12 |
| iToast | Gentoo64: Hmm, so I can access root directly | 17:12 |
| iToast | ;p | 17:12 |
| iToast | sudo su root | 17:12 |
| sskalnik | Dl145: Just to rule out the basics; Ctrl + F2/3/4/5/etc. get no shell, and the USB drive is disconnected, and Shift on boot does not get you a GRUB menu, and you are sure the BIOS boots to the right drive? | 17:12 |
| iToast | And my windows server crashed again... | 17:13 |
| oCean | iToast: sudo -i is the correct way to start a root shell. Besides that, this channel does not support enabling the root password | 17:13 |

| iToast | Nope someone used the wrong command | 17:14 |
| VEndix | when the new Ubuntu is comin out? | 17:14 |
| silvercat | now i logged in and can only see the nautilus-menu.. whats up with this? | 17:14 |
| sskalnik | Dl145: If you get no shell and Shift doesn't work, it sounds like you are GRUB-less. | 17:14 |
| iToast | oCean, i've gotten help for that here before. stop acting like no one can tell me. | 17:14 |
| ironfoot495 | can someone please help me with this? | 17:14 |
| Pici | iToast: if you have some weird need to sftp to root, you should do so with key based authentication, not by setting a password. | 17:14 |
| Gentoo64 | VEndix: every 6 months i think | 17:14 |
| puff | I have an apt-related problem. On friday I got an update popup, so I updated. It said it needed to restart, a couple hours later I restarted. When it came back up, a couple things broke. | 17:14 |

| iToast | oCean: Others here have. | 17:14 |
| Dl145 | sskalnik: thats what I though.. does it have anything to do that the USB is called SDA and the Drive is called SDB | 17:14 |
| GTRsdk2 | VEndix: April 2012. | 17:14 |
| Pici | iToast: The same way you would set it up for a user. | 17:14 |

| iToast | I installed ubutnu 8.04 about 2 months ago to test this. | 17:15 |

| pikaciu | why not all the win apps work with wine (runtime error) ? thanx | 17:15 |
| Dl145 | sskalnik: yea, but would it work when im installing on sdb instead of sda? | 17:16 |
| iToast | pikaciu: because wine isn't finished. | 17:16 |
| Pici | pikaciu: wine is not windows. | 17:16 |
| iToast | +1 | 17:16 |
| pikaciu | thanx.... Pici ... meaning ? | 17:16 |
| sskalnik | Dl145: If GRUB somehow ended up on SDA instead of SDB, then if SDA is plugged in, it should boot | 17:16 |
| iToast | pikaciu: Meaning not everything will work. | 17:16 |
| iToast | Some applications require things wine doesn't have. | 17:17 |
| pikaciu | ah... ok ;P | 17:17 |
| usr13 | pikaciu: You might consider installing your favorite version of MS Windows in vbox | 17:17 |
| sskalnik | Dl145: That said, I would boot a live image and see where GRUB was installed | 17:17 |
| Kyle__ | Pici: I think you mean, Wine Is Not an Emulator ;) | 17:17 |
| iToast | pikaciu: Consider wine more like a virtual machine... | 17:17 |
| iToast | A very buggy crash prone virtual machine. | 17:17 |
| Dl145 | sskalnik: i will give it one more try..then i will try with a live image.. | 17:17 |
| sskalnik | Dl145: sounds good | 17:17 |
| iToast | It works amazing but not with everything | 17:17 |
| lolufail | what is more wise: new server on 12.04 daily build, or 11.10, and then upgrade to LTS as soon as it's available? | 17:17 |
| Kyle__ | iToast: But when it works, it's amazingly nicer than using a full blown VM. | 17:17 |
| usr13 | pikaciu: ... but we are here only to solve your Ubuntu problems. | 17:18 |
| pikaciu | iToast : ok | 17:18 |
| iToast | Kyle__: By MILES | 17:18 |
| sskalnik | lolufail: Probably 11.10 since 12.04 isn't finished yet. | 17:18 |
| iToast | I hate using vm's | 17:18 |
| Gentoo64 | lolufail: well for a server whats the point of a daily build? youd want something thats not gona crach | 17:18 |
| iToast | Your os takes ram then the vm then the geust os takes a sh!t load more | 17:19 |
| pikaciu | usr13: infact i'm trying to make the win apps working with ssh -X in my Ubuntu... :( | 17:19 |

| iToast | oCean: Your no fun. | 17:19 |

| Kyle__ | I have never been so frustrated in my professional career. I've got 96 cores worth of server, just waiting for me to linuxify, and it's been sitting there, for a week. Damned slow electricians. | 17:19 |

| Gentoo64 | iToast: packages | 17:24 |
| pangolin | and security updates | 17:24 |
| iToast | Gentoo64: So every ubuntu server update is manual? | 17:24 |
| Gentoo64 | iToast: it should warn you of a ubuntu u[pgrade | 17:25 |
| iToast | ok | 17:25 |
| Atlantic777 | iToast: there's dist-upgrade which will upgrade to next ubuntu release. | 17:25 |
| Diranged | if i have a package that was removed at some point on a system, is it possible to see why or when?… the package is listed as 'rc' with dpkg, but i dont see in the dpkg.log any reference to it being removed.. | 17:25 |
| iToast | Atlantic777: Ty | 17:25 |
| Diranged | im wondering whether i can see if some other package caused this one to be removed | 17:25 |
| pangolin | Atlantic777: that is wrong | 17:25 |
| iToast | Im not shure if ANY of you will understand this, but my server has a status LED, could i controll it? | 17:25 |
| iToast | Every hour check for a update and flash the light from green to orange for 2 mins | 17:26 |
| Atlantic777 | iToast: I'm currently working at similar thing. xD | 17:26 |
| iToast | Atlantic777: Lets work on it togeather. | 17:26 |
| Gentoo64 | iToast: maybe youd have to code it yourself | 17:26 |
| puff | I had to jump through various hoops to get sun java installed for my browser (and I needed sun java, not just openJDK, to support a juniper VPN for work). The I updated on friday, when I rebooted the browser java stopped working. I jumped through the same hoops to reinstall the java, but this time I got an error message from the bin install. | 17:26 |
| ikonia | iToast: look at lcdproc | 17:26 |
| iToast | Gentoo64: Ubuntu seems to have full controll over the LED | 17:26 |
| ikonia | iToast: I use it to control multiple LCD/LED displays | 17:26 |
| Gentoo64 | idk, im not _that_ much of a ricer | 17:26 |
| Atlantic777 | iToast: theres CONFIG_USB_LED driver in kernel, and there should be /sys/bus/usb/driver/usbled/version/something.txt file | 17:26 |
| oCean | Atlantic777: dist-upgrade does not upgrade to new versions | 17:26 |
| iToast | Atlantic777: Ok, what hardware are you using | 17:27 |
| Atlantic777 | oCean: do release upgrade or something? | 17:27 |

| iToast | Atlantic777: i wan'ted to do the same thing, but using a text message | 17:28 |

| isa | `my god, this is high level for me | 17:33 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | !raid | abu-bakr | 17:33 |

| ManDay | Can apt-get made just install the package specified on the commandline and NOT install the dependencies? | 17:33 |
| usr13 | abu-bakr: What I understand about raid is that hardware-raid just works. Software raid is a waste of time. | 17:33 |
| Gentoo64 | isa: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 17:34 |
| meta | usr13: thats not true | 17:34 |

| iToast | isa: Intel Atom | 17:34 |
| abu-bakr | RaTTuS|BIG, thanks but those guides are flawed.. it just doesnt work | 17:34 |
| isa | yes, that's right | 17:34 |
| meta | abu bakr what distro are you using? | 17:34 |
| isa | Intel Atom, but...what about that? | 17:34 |
| iToast | isa: The cpu is a Intel Atom 1.6 ghz the system has 1gb of stock ram and from 4gb - 160gb of storage | 17:35 |
| Kyle__ | usr13: In some cases software raid actually outpreforms hardware raid, or is more configuratble. | 17:35 |
| isa | aha | 17:35 |
| iToast | isa: Intel atom + ubuntu isn't the best choice | 17:35 |
| abu-bakr | 11:10 alternate .. as suggested by those guides in ubuntu documentation | 17:35 |
| iToast | Use the Netbook Ubuntu edition | 17:35 |
| isa | and why is that? | 17:35 |
| Gentoo64 | isa: hmm not the same mobo as mine then. my mobo has a ps/2 bug with linux thats why i asked. why not just sue the usb mouse if it works? | 17:35 |
| abu-bakr | also used standard 11:04 which is what I preferred to use | 17:35 |
| meta | I did it many times with the 10.04 server cd | 17:35 |
| iToast | isa: a full ubuntu install is more, demanding. a netbook install isn't | 17:35 |
| usr13 | Kyle__: meta I just told what I understand about raid which is not to say that's all there is to it. | 17:35 |
| bucky | abu-bakr, i missed out on most of your posts but.. I usually set up small a couple of raid 0 partions for /boot as the first primary partition and make both drives bootable with the partitioner whiled I'm at it... it takes the alt cd install to pull off soft raid | 17:35 |
| Gentoo64 | iToast: afaik isnt the netbook edition discontinued | 17:35 |
| iToast | Gentoo64: ?! | 17:36 |
| iToast | I was gonna install ubuntu on my netbook. | 17:36 |
| SlayersZ | 11.04 broke my system. Unity is gone :o | 17:36 |
| Gentoo64 | i thought it merged into normal edition | 17:36 |
| Kyle__ | usr13: Also, remember, even if a hardware raid card is supported under linux, the control software may not be. That means any and all changes, updates, fixes, and other interactions, need you to reboot into the raid bios. | 17:36 |
| isa | so what do you thing is the best thing i can do? apart from using the usb mouse? | 17:36 |
| meta | I noticed it helps if the disks dont have any errors | 17:36 |
| Gentoo64 | isa: no idea. how often does the mouse stop working? | 17:36 |
| iToast | isa: Try Xubuntu? | 17:36 |
| meta | ie SpinRite them before configuration | 17:36 |
| genii-around | Gentoo64: Yes, it should try to auto-decide which version at install time is appropriate | 17:36 |
| abu-bakr | bucky, thanks.. done just that.. still doesn't work | 17:36 |

| Peyam | I use a intel integrate graphic with my processor.. I have my computer connected to my TV. | 18:24 |
| b0rsuk | GTRsdk2: The laptop is not mine, but I asked my roommate for these things (he doesn't even upgrade software on his linux partition). Nothing as far as I know. | 18:24 |
| Peyam | but I cant see anything with my tv . so I must use a vga cable | 18:25 |
| b0rsuk | There's no reason to believe GRUB has been overwritten. | 18:25 |
| b0rsuk | Unless it was an automatic Windows 7 update. | 18:25 |
| kamilnadeem | mickey1: Thanks but I am Ok with it. There is something else that is more Important . Linux kernels have been updates many times after 11.10 and I see 3 options in drub while booting | 18:25 |
| GTRsdk2 | b0rsuk: Okay. Could you boot into Ubuntu using Super Grub Disk? | 18:25 |
| kamilnadeem | is there a safe way to remove them as it delays my boot up because every time I have to select one | 18:25 |

| b0rsuk | Keyboard works in BIOS but not in Ubuntu once you boot. | 18:27 |
| GTRsdk2 | Peyam: Does your computer support HDMI? | 18:27 |
| mickey1 | kamilnadeem, if that so it will take a single script to purge the old kernel ; but in case you get stuck with the generic kernel a fail safe option..:) | 18:27 |

| dancek | DarkStar1, really situations like this suck as nobody wants to support what you need to do... | 18:44 |
| merk5 | Because I'm trying to DKMS build it, and now it's saying I'm trying to install a version is not newer than the current, coz I rebuild with DKMS. | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | merk5:sudo make clean possibly. Check your makefile | 18:44 |
| tahdahh | i need help, | 18:44 |
| DarkStar1 | dancek: That's almost always been the wild west way of the open source wonderland ;) | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | tahdahh: ask away | 18:44 |
| tahdahh | can someONE HELP ME? | 18:44 |
| tahdahh | RIGHT | 18:45 |
| tahdahh | WELL | 18:45 |
| tahdahh | i have ubuntu okay | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Kill the caps please | 18:45 |
| mickey1 | merk5, sudo apt-get autoremove | 18:45 |
| tahdahh | i reall need to know | 18:45 |
| merk5 | ActionParsnip: That's for cleaning the build, not uninstalling as I understand it. I'm not trying to clean the build,i'm trying to remove the module short of deleteing it from /lib/modules/2.6.38-12-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/ | 18:45 |
| dancek | tahdahh, please don't use newline as punctuation (ie. keep your question in one line) | 18:45 |
| afeijo | hi guys, how can I force a shell user to stay in his home dir only? to not let him cd to another dir? | 18:45 |
| merk5 | mickey1: thanks, but I'm building from source | 18:46 |
| tahdahh | okay sorry, i have ubuntu okay and what i need to know is how do i download stuff normally on it and like use it, its really diffucult please help! | 18:46 |
| theadmin | afeijo: ACL, mostly | 18:46 |
| afeijo | theadmin, you mean, chown and chmod ? | 18:47 |
| dancek | merk5, generally with `make install` installations there's no other way to uninstall than to delete | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | tahdahh: download what exactly? | 18:47 |
| mickey1 | merk5, so source package will flood inside the directory itself..try and delete it don't work and then auto..:) | 18:47 |
| theadmin | afeijo: No, I mean setfacl and getfacl | 18:47 |
| afeijo | oh | 18:47 |
| tahdahh | download just normal files, but how do i use them like i would normallu on ubuntu? | 18:47 |
| dancek | tahdahh, just use them normally. that normally works. (seriously, what kind of files?) | 18:48 |
| edbian | tahdahh, what's a normal file? | 18:48 |
| tahdahh | like do you know when it says run, save and that? | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | tahdahh: yes, you have a browser which acts like you expect in any OS, you have a file browser you can open files with | 18:48 |
| almoxarife | tahdahh: its not windows | 18:48 |
| merk5 | dancek: Hmmm that's weird. I thought the opposite of `make install` is `make uninstall` and as long as you did not do a make clean, it will know where to delete the files. | 18:49 |
| edbian | tahdahh, choose what wnat | 18:49 |
| mickey1 | merk5, can you share what are you trying to compile.. | 18:49 |
| merk5 | mickey1: I don't follow you | 18:49 |
| tahdahh | on windows, but how do i use it in ubuntu, cos when i download it i dont know where it goes or anything? | 18:49 |
| edbian | merk5, not all source code packages include an uninstall | 18:49 |
| theadmin | tahdahh: You can't use exes on Ubuntu -_- | 18:49 |
| merk5 | mickey1: I have compiled rts5139 driver successfully... | 18:49 |
| tahdahh | what is exes? | 18:49 |
| theadmin | tahdahh: exe files. | 18:49 |
| merk5 | ok nevermind guys it looks like my DKMS attempt was successful after all :D | 18:50 |
| tahdahh | im bloody 13 can you explain this a bit clearer! | 18:50 |
| edbian | tahdahh, files that end in .exe those are programs on windows | 18:50 |
| mickey1 | merk5, yeh! good news, so its altered course for different package that i guess.. | 18:50 |
| merk5 | I just updated my kernel and it auto-compiled rts5139 so i guess it's working. Only way to find out now is to reboot and plug in a card :D woot! | 18:50 |
| tahdahh | okay thanks, so i cant use any of them, can i like change them or? | 18:50 |
| edbian | tahdahh, programs in windows are actually files that end in .exe (the actual letters .exe are usually hidden in the name on windows) | 18:50 |
| SunTsu | tahdahh: you realize that this is _ubuntu_ support, right? You better go and grab a basic book on linux and all the principles behind it | 18:51 |
| almoxarife | tahdahh: no, can't like change them, like its not windows, like something else | 18:51 |
| scrote | moin | 18:51 |
| edbian | tahdahh, You might be able to use them with wine. Usually it's easier to find an ubuntu app that does the same thing | 18:51 |
| tahdahh | yes i know this is support? | 18:51 |
| scrote | is it safe to run backtrack 5 as a corporate server? | 18:51 |
| theadmin | !bt | scrote | 18:51 |
| oCean | scrote: this channel does not support backtrack linux | 18:51 |
| theadmin | !backtrack | scrote | 18:51 |
| ubottu | scrote: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 18:51 |
| tahdahh | i have downloaded wine, but not too sure on how to use it | 18:51 |
| mickey1 | dir *.h can revil then | 18:51 |
| theadmin | Someone should alias !bt to !backtrack... | 18:52 |
| theadmin | Not sure how to ask ubottu to do that | 18:52 |
| almoxarife | tahdahh: like google stuff about it | 18:52 |
| f0gn0l0 | hello | 18:52 |
| merk5 | Thanks for taking time to answer my Q: dancek, mickey1, edbian, ActionParsnip. ;) | 18:52 |
| SunTsu | tahdahh: it's a ubuntu specific channel, your problems seem to be more general, it seems, that goes beyond the possibility of this channel | 18:52 |
| f0gn0l0 | can someone suggest me an rpg style-game? | 18:52 |
| edbian | merk5, sure | 18:52 |
| scrote | sorry wrong distro. Is it safe to run ubuntu as a server in IT Closets. | 18:52 |
| tahdahh | ok well thanks for attempting to help, | 18:52 |
| edbian | tahdahh, The way I know is to use the comand line | 18:53 |
| edbian | darnit | 18:53 |
| dancek | f0gn0l0, does nethack count? | 18:53 |
| almoxarife | like wow | 18:53 |
| mickey1 | scrote, pleaes can you details | 18:53 |
| theadmin | f0gn0l0: Any MUD :P | 18:53 |
| MonkeyDust | f0gn0l0 i'm not a gamer, but start here http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html | 18:54 |
| f0gn0l0 | thanks for all the hints ^^ | 18:54 |
| f0gn0l0 | dancek, nethack was the first one i installed | 18:54 |

| ManDay | How can I configure GCC so that it searches for include and library paths in the respective x86_64-gnu-linux subdirectories of /usr/lib and /usr/include ? | 18:56 |
| annonymous | hello, can't access ubuntu samba share from windows 7. if i first access first from the linux box to windows than everything seems fine until reboot. how can i fix windows to see ubuntu on start. is it iptables, samba or windows bug? | 18:56 |
| ManDay | Why does Ubuntu not work normally with lib32 and lib64 directories? What is this nonsense with those x86_64-gnu-linux subdirectories good for? | 18:56 |
| scrote | mickey1: DNS, DHCP, LDAP, Web Server , pgsql, | 18:57 |
| mickey1 | scrote, did some ask you about the servers..how many are they there are plenty more.. | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: if you are running a 32bit app under 64bit, you will need to grab the libs needed and put them in lib32 afaik | 18:58 |
| trism | ManDay: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec it is addressed in the design section | 18:59 |
| annonymous | why's ubuntu is invisible to windows 7? can only access by \\computer_name | 19:00 |
| MonkeyDust | ManDay could it be a ia32-libs issue? | 19:00 |
| ManDay | MonkeyDust: Uhm, no? Why would it? | 19:00 |
| MonkeyDust | ok, just suggestiong | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | annonymous: if you run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER and set the password, you should now get challenged for authentication. Its not an iptables issue as the share does eventually work with no change to the rules | 19:01 |
| mickey1 | annonymous, that nothing unsual.. | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | annonymous: try mapping a network drive too, makes thingseasier | 19:02 |
| ManDay | ActionParsnip: ? | 19:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: what? | 19:03 |
| ManDay | ActionParsnip: I'm trying to get gcc to pick up libc's headers and libs, which it expects to be in the normal places. But I don't want to change my enviroment for that. I want it to usually account for ubuntus bizarre filelayout | 19:03 |
| jdavidboyd | ActionParsnip: still trying to research the wireless failures on my Acer netbook. The cable works great, the wireless used to work, and then was intermittent for a while, now doesn't seem to work at all. Boot into windows, works fine, so it's not hardware.... | 19:04 |
| ManDay | Do you understand what I mean? | 19:04 |
| ssta | ManDay: gcc -I /path/to/libdir | 19:04 |
| mickey1 | ManDay, that 's good point..but to save the time and headache i simply settle down the 32bit / instead 64bit in the end | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: i see the aim, i haven't compiled since i stopped using gentoo which was ages ago | 19:05 |
| === Bry8Star- is now known as Bry8Star{GB | ||
| ManDay | ssta: ... | 19:05 |
| ManDay | ssta: I do *not* ("not!") want to do this. | 19:06 |
| ManDay | mickey1: What do you mean "settle down" ? | 19:06 |
| scrote | mickey1: I'll just take that as a no. | 19:06 |
| ssta | ManDay: what *do* you want to do then? | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jdavidboyd: use the wire to get full updates, then run: sudo lshw -C network to see the wifi chip and find guides | 19:06 |
| annonymous | ManDay, check ld.so.conf.d directory in etc i think it should already apear | 19:07 |
| ManDay | ssta: I don't know. I assume a compile time option or a configuration file, a wrapper, a clever way of symlinking things up... | 19:07 |
| ManDay | annonymous: That would only be LD. What about gcc as a whole? | 19:07 |
| ikonia | ManDay: what are you trying to do ? | 19:07 |
| mickey1 | ManDay, i have a 64bit and got tired and re-instated 32 bit as 64 bit has to take more time to develope that i guess | 19:07 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Getting gcc to work "as usual" despite ubuntu's flavours to the filesystem | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jdavidboyd: also run: sudo rfkill list to see if the device is only software disabled, then you only need to use the switch or shortcut to enable wifi | 19:08 |
| ssta | ManDay: this is what autotools is for. If you want to do it by hand, then use -Ifoo. That's *exactly* how autotools does it | 19:08 |
| bf4648 | can someone tell me what the {} brackets are doing in the following command line: find * -maxdepth 0 -name 'test_mp4s.zip' -prune -o -exec rm -f /var/www/test/*.zip '{}' ';'' | 19:08 |
| mickey1 | ! ask | scorote | 19:08 |
| ubottu | scorote: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 19:08 |
| ssta | ManDay: if you want you can symlink the lib and header diretories, but that's hacky | 19:09 |
| MonkeyDust | bf4648 these brackets are part of -exec | 19:09 |
| Pici | bf4648: they replace the filename that comes out of the find command. man find should you tell more. | 19:09 |
| ManDay | ssta: Gcc DOES HAVE a default include path. It's just wrong for ubuntu. Somehow, gcc-multilib makes up for that, but how... | 19:09 |
| Qualia | is there a channel to discuss politics ? | 19:09 |
| Qualia | or the death of North Korean leader ? | 19:09 |
| SunTsu | Qualia: ask alis | 19:09 |
| ManDay | Qualia: I guess you'd better be off at a forum. Discussing in IRC... well... you know... | 19:09 |
| Pici | !alis | Qualia | 19:09 |
| Qualia | whats wrong with IRC | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Qualia: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 19:09 |
| ssta | ManDay: it does it by setting env variables, and tweaking include paths automagically | 19:09 |
| Qualia | lol | 19:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Qualia: #politics maybe | 19:09 |
| ManDay | ssta: You sure of that, or are you just guessing? | 19:10 |
| ManDay | If you are right, then I guess there is no "better" method than that. | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Qualia: not much wrong with irc really | 19:10 |
| ManDay | ActionParsnip: Oh, you reall should know better... | 19:10 |
| bf4648 | thank you pici...so what does the command actually look like visually? find * -maxdepth 0 -name {test_mp4.zip etc..}? | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: how so? | 19:11 |
| Pici | bf4648: you already posted what it looks like. | 19:11 |
| ssta | ManDay: fairly sure. You set MULTILIB_OPTIONS to some magic (google for the magic, I don't remember) in the Makefile...basically you do this with makefiles, you don't compile anything but the most trivial one-liners from the command line | 19:11 |
| bf4648 | Pici...I'm just talking about pseudo code so I can understand what the find command is actually doing | 19:11 |
| ManDay | ActionParsnip: Discussing polictics in the first place is a magical topic. Discussing politics on the internet? Even worse. But.. ON IRC? Unthinkable. | 19:11 |
| ssta | this is what make was invented for. Automake does much of it for you | 19:11 |
| bf4648 | What I'm trying to do is delete everything in a folder except 1 certain file | 19:12 |
| Pici | ManDay: ActionParsnip: This is not the place to discuss whether IRC is a good conversationmedium. | 19:12 |
| ikonia | ManDay: what are you talking about, gcc works fine on ubuntu | 19:12 |
| bf4648 | I deleted everything in my home directory | 19:12 |
| ManDay | MULTILIB_OPTIONS?! Never heard of. But I personally don't feel bad for my lack of knowledge on autofools | 19:12 |
| ikonia | ManDay: why don't you really explain the problem | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: its an interesting topic and people coming together to discuss and exchange ideas is healthy | 19:12 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I'm talking about a custom built gcc-4.3.6 | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: gotcha | 19:12 |
| bf4648 | any idea how I could do that? | 19:13 |
| ikonia | ManDay: ok - so why are you moaning about your custom built gcc, thats your build | 19:13 |
| ManDay | ikonia: ... You know | 19:13 |
| SunTsu | bf4648: there's lots of ways. For instance ls | grep $fileyouwanttokeep| xargs rm | 19:13 |
| ssta | ManDay: you can set the default include directories when you're building gcc | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | bf4648: copy the file out, delete the lot then move the file back in | 19:13 |
| ikonia | ManDay: no, I don't, that's why I'm trying to understand what you are complaining about to assist you resolve it | 19:13 |
| SunTsu | er grep -v of course | 19:13 |
| ManDay | *normally* gcc will not require special help for finding libc files in the *standard* places. | 19:14 |
| bf4648 | what is xargs? | 19:14 |
| ikonia | ManDay: if it's built correctly it won't | 19:14 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Premature return | 19:14 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Help me out there, what do you mean by "built correctly"? | 19:14 |
| ikonia | ManDay: if you included the search paths correctly in the spec file, it will search where you've told it to | 19:14 |
| ssta | ManDay: if you build it like that, it Just Works | 19:14 |
| SunTsu | bf4648: what the man page tells it is ;) It takes stuff from stdin and feeds it as cli arguments to the command you provide | 19:14 |
| ManDay | The closest to an option which dicates standard search paths I came is "--with-sysdir" which won't do ubuntu right | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | bf4648: my method is easier to understand, if a bit primitive | 19:15 |
| ManDay | ikonia: The "spec file" is that a thing with compiling gcc? | 19:15 |
| ikonia | ManDay: ubuntu won't do right ??? what are you talking about it's YOUR build | 19:15 |
| ssta | ManDay: the output of gcc --print-search-dirs for a "standard ubuntu build" of gcc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/775595/ | 19:15 |
| SunTsu | yeah, ActionParsnip's method might be preferable to mine, I gues | 19:15 |
| ManDay | ikonia: *IT* wont do ubuntu right | 19:15 |
| SunTsu | guess even | 19:15 |
| ManDay | Forgive me my grammer | 19:15 |
| ssta | the ubuntu build *does* do it right | 19:15 |
| ikonia | ManDay: becuase YOU have built it wrong | 19:15 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I got that claim the first two times you uttered it. Hence I'm asking you what I would have to do better | 19:16 |
| ikonia | ManDay: why did you do a custom gcc build ? what's the issue with gcc in ubuntu | 19:16 |
| bf4648 | well, it beats deleting everything in your home directory....I could have really screwed up my computer | 19:16 |
| ikonia | ManDay: (or what's the end goal) | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | SunTsu: yours is actually what is asked for though :-). Nice bashfu | 19:16 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I needed 4.3.6 | 19:16 |
| ikonia | why ? | 19:16 |
| ManDay | Does it matter? | 19:16 |
| ikonia | ManDay: yes | 19:16 |
| ManDay | Because another software expects it. | 19:16 |
| ikonia | expects or needs ? | 19:16 |
| ssta | ManDay: you either build gcc correctly, or you use -Ifoo to set search dirs once, of you use a spec file to do it many times... | 19:16 |
| ikonia | actually, I can't be bothered begging for information, good luck | 19:17 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Can you please stop from straying off miles from the issue I'm having? You just said you knew how to built gcc in a way that it finds the files without further messing. What would that be, please? | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Aww I just got popcorn too | 19:17 |
| ssta | gcc doesn't "just work". It's a compiler. It's assumed that you know how to drive it if you want to use it outside of the default parameters...and especially if you build your own | 19:17 |
| ManDay | ActionParsnip: I hope you're getting well entertained... | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Very | 19:18 |

| almoxarife | ManDay: do you have a question specific to ubuntu? | 19:18 |

| ubottu | Guest25613: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 19:19 |
| annonymous | didn't ia32-libs became obsolete on 11.1? | 19:20 |
| mickey1 | ActionParsnip, a new user will understand..but is problem ?? | 19:20 |
| Ampelbein | annonymous: Nope, 12.04 will be the first release without it | 19:20 |
| annonymous | does anyone has a clue why ubuntu share is invisible to windows 7 64bit? (becomes visible after i access windows from ubuntu first) | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Mickey1: is what a problem? | 19:21 |
| ManDay | almoxarife: Obviously, I have. | 19:21 |
| jdavidboyd | ActionParsnip: everything looks ok, and the systems reports that it works fine. Although it does say that I have a 135 Mb/s connection, which I know is wrong. I can't ping from it, or to it, and connect to anything. Looks like a firewall blocking everything, but I haven't installed one. | 19:21 |
| overdub | bf4648: ls might list more than one file on a line | 19:21 |
| genii-around | annonymous: The trailing zero on 11.10 is pertinent, the 10 means the tenth month, October... not a one which would make it January | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | annonymous: is the ubuntu hostname pingable from windows | 19:22 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Anything? You can't just make a claim "I configured gcc wrongly" and not prove it. Especially after ssta clearly stated otherwise. | 19:22 |
| bucky | ManDay, if you just want to install an rpm into ubuntu use alien to create a deb and see if it works, if not remove it and try something else | 19:22 |
| Pici | overdub: not if you're piping it into something else. | 19:22 |
| overdub | bf4648: use ls -1 for each file on a separate line, or better still use find | 19:22 |
| almoxarife | ManDay: do you have a question specific to ubuntu? | 19:22 |
| bf4648 | alright....I can't figure this out ...I'm really trying | 19:22 |
| ManDay | almoxarife: Can you perhaps shut up? | 19:22 |
| Monsanto | Anyone try this unit http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-Waterproof-wireless-Integrated-ALFAUBDOGT12/dp/B0039KQFVQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top | 19:22 |
| Monsanto | ? | 19:22 |
| ikonia | ManDay: tone it down | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | jdavidboyd: can you ping your routers internal ip? Can you ping 8.8.8.8? | 19:23 |
| ssta | ManDay: when you built your gcc, did you try ./configure --help? If you didn't I suggest you do. That's my last word on this subject... | 19:23 |
| Pici | bf4648: The folks and the topic in #bash may prove especially useful. | 19:23 |
| annonymous | ActionParsnip, it doesn't seems to help, sometimes windows doesn't even finds it. workgroup is set correct. can access from windows until another computer joins and after that i need to access from linux to windows for it to work normally | 19:23 |
| mickey1 | ActionParsnip, think at the prospect of new-un familiar to ubuntu simply shutting them down like this is irrelevent | 19:23 |
| annonymous | ActionParsnip, other computer is vista | 19:23 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I'm still waiting for your reply. | 19:23 |
| paulo_gomes | hi all | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mickey1: shutting what down? | 19:23 |
| ikonia | ManDay: I said, I'm not bothered, I can't be bothered if I have to beg you for information surrounding your problem, good luck | 19:23 |
| ManDay | ssta: I configured gcc as well as I could and I found no such as option as ikonia suggest it | 19:23 |
| ikonia | I didn't say there was any option | 19:24 |
| MonkeyDust | ManDay maybe your question is beyond this channel | 19:24 |
| Ampelbein | ManDay: Did you find http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/gcc-4.6/precise/view/head:/debian/patches/gcc-multiarch.diff ? It's the actual multiarch patch applied in ubuntu. | 19:24 |
| iToast | Can i get a guide to setup samba on ubuntu | 19:24 |
| ManDay | ikonia: That's really a poor excuse. As if it mattered *why* I need gcc-4.3.6 for *how* to configure it in the manner you claim to know. | 19:24 |
| ikonia | Ampelbein: you can't use that | 19:24 |
| iToast | One that is clear. not "DO THIS DO THAT THEN THIS THAT THIS THIS THAT" | 19:24 |

| ManDay | ssta: I've been searching them all over the place! | 19:41 |
| ManDay | Which built time variables are it? | 19:41 |
| usr13 | trece8: Was the VESA driver being used before you installed proprietary driver? | 19:42 |
| usr13 | trece8: If so: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:42 |
| trece8 | I didn't install propietary drivers, the standard driver (it's a new installation) crashes the PC at some point | 19:42 |
| trece8 | I actually made a xorg.conf so the standard driver wouldn't be used | 19:42 |
| usr13 | trece8: How do you know it's the video driver that chashes the PC? | 19:43 |
| trece8 | I made a xorg.conf file putting it to work as VESA | 19:43 |
| trece8 | ubuntu started in 'low graphics mode' and it didn't crash. | 19:43 |
| usr13 | trece8: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:44 |
| mickey1 | trece8, ! blacklist | 19:44 |
| trece8 | mickey1: ? | 19:44 |
| trece8 | usr13: I actually had no xorg.conf there, So I made one | 19:44 |
| Pici | mickey1: If you're trying to use the bot. its !factoid | user | 19:44 |
| usr13 | !blacklist | 19:44 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 19:44 |
| trece8 | It crashed when no xorg.conf was there | 19:44 |
| mickey1 | Pici, ok.. | 19:44 |
| trece8 | So if I erase it, I would be in step 0 | 19:44 |
| trece8 | mickey1: I think you are offtopic | 19:45 |
| Pici | trece8: so if it worked when you set vesa manually, what is the problem. | 19:45 |
| usr13 | trece8: Driver "vesa" | 19:45 |
| trece8 | Anyway. No other idea than to erase xorg.conf and get back to where it was when it crashed? | 19:45 |
| usr13 | trece8: Let's start over. Please ask question again. | 19:45 |
| trece8 | Pici, setting it up manually gives me a 'ubuntu is starting in low resolution mode' screen at startup, that's the issue. | 19:45 |
| trece8 | Hi. How do I set up VESA driver as default in ubuntu 10.04.3? | 19:46 |

| Jay_Levitt | How do I add the "proposed" apt repository to oneiric from the command line? | 19:46 |
| usr13 | trece8: And the answer to your original question is to see that the line Driver "vesa" is there. | 19:47 |
| trece8 | usr13: It's and onboard Intel 82945G/G2 | 19:47 |
| trece8 | usr13: It is there. I put it there. | 19:47 |

| ManDay | ssta: I cannot find debian/rules2 - where is that file supposed to be? | 19:49 |
| usr13 | trece8: Have you started without /etc/X11/xorg.conf since getting the system fully updated? | 19:51 |
| trece8 | yes | 19:51 |
| usr13 | trece8: You can just move it. sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | 19:51 |
| trece8 | I know | 19:51 |
| trece8 | But there would be the same situation as when it crashed. | 19:51 |

| Ampelbein | ManDay: Like I said, multiarch is applied as a patch to the gcc archive. You can get inspriation by looking at the 4.6 one and (given you have experience working with gcc) may be able to adapt it for 4.3. But surely it's easier to just fix the application to compile with 4.6? | 19:58 |
| ManDay | Hm? Why should I not simply get the binary package provided by the ppa? | 19:58 |
| bucky | ManDay, debian/ubuntu build system is complicated... look it up | 19:58 |

| ManDay | Ampelbein: I did not read you say that. Sorry. However, it surely explains why I can't find any wrapper or config scripts, nor configure options. | 19:59 |
| bucky | ManDay you should whenever possible but your ubuntu version and the arch should match | 19:59 |

| html | josiah216, jfwalsh did you see if its a common problem? also did you search the net ? | 20:15 |
| trece8 | so, I already did that. | 20:15 |
| The_BROS | <BluesKaj> How will be a command if I put folder into Home folder or how can I find adress in Nautilus? | 20:16 |
| usr13 | trece8: and xrandr does not run? | 20:16 |
| trece8 | didn't try xrandr at that time, I will do it now | 20:16 |
| cyclicflux | I literally just got a Motorola Xoom a few days ago, and placed it on my desk near my monitor 'Dell ST2010 25"', and then the monitor turned a deep red, and then it was frozen(the PC=fine). However, it appears that my monitor is now a tint of blue(turned to blue after restarting it). | 20:16 |
| usr13 | trece8: xrandr does not give a list of screen sizes available? | 20:16 |

| oCean | cyclicflux: do you have an #ubuntu question? | 20:16 |
| ironfoot495 | HI is there someone who could help me reconstruct a website. I have the website written in mac but I'm using a win7 to upload the file to a ubuntu 10.04 server. | 20:17 |
| cyclicflux | FYI: I checked my evdev.conf, & x display-settings(10-display.conf) as well | 20:17 |

| cyclicflux | I didn't really know where to go with this | 20:17 |
| josiah216 | i plug in my thumbdrive and the light blinks, however it isn't mounted. Nothing shows up in /media either | 20:17 |

| The_BROS | <BluesKaj> Oh. I see it in file properties (file path) | 20:18 |
| cyclicflux | oCean:sounds good | 20:18 |
| jfwalsh | i will see if it is a common problem; my situation is a bit unique. originally, the external hardrive had linux on it complete with all file systems, the laptop had windows. I got rid of windows for good, loaded the latest linux; am trying to native linux to recognize the files in the old linux. code errors are numerous. | 20:18 |
| cyclicflux | oCean:thanks | 20:18 |
| BluesKaj | The_BROS, right ") | 20:18 |
| urlin2u | josiah216, do you have another computer say one running windows to try and fix the thumb? | 20:18 |
| bf4648 | ssta...I'm getting rm: cannot remove : no such file or directory | 20:18 |
| oCean | cyclicflux: you're welcome | 20:18 |
| html | josiah216, ten post your problem on ubuntu help forms / fill out a form so other can see its a common problem if they too have it | 20:19 |
| josiah216 | urlin2u: the thumb drive works fine on windows and 11.04. absolutely nothing mounts with 11.10 | 20:19 |
| The_BROS | <BluesKaj> Thanx. I will try). Can it work with any formats? | 20:19 |
| ssta | bf4648: do each part of the pipe seperately. Start with: ls /path/*.zip. Does that list all the zips? | 20:19 |
| BluesKaj | yes The_BROS | 20:19 |
| maujhsn | urlin2u How are you doing these days! | 20:19 |
| urlin2u | josiah216, reformat it in windows it should work. | 20:19 |
| bf4648 | yes it does | 20:19 |
| urlin2u | maujhsn, fine | 20:19 |
| oCean | bf4648: what about find . -type f -name "*.zip" | grep -v donotremovethisfile.zip | xargs ls this should list all the files. Replace ls by rm to remove | 20:19 |
| trece8 | usr13: didn't work anyway | 20:20 |
| oCean | bf4648: the find . meaning start from the current directory all the way down | 20:20 |
| ssta | bf4648: okay, now ls /path/*.zip | grep -v oneToKeep.zip (the -v says "print everything EXCEPT that one") | 20:20 |
| josiah216 | it works fine everywhere else, but not 11.10. why should I format it? | 20:20 |
| trece8 | tried with intel and vesa drivers, and still can't open display is the output of xrandr | 20:20 |

| urlin2u | josiah216, there are no bugs as far as I know with usb mounting in oneiric, it sounds like a little to much tweaking or a bad install who knows really. | 20:21 |

| urlin2u | josiah216, if the thumb has a broken partition table reformatting would fix that, I wouldn't discount it due to the thumb working on other OS's | 20:22 |
| bf4648 | Yup, test.zip (the one I want to keep) isn't in the list | 20:22 |
| geoffmcc | josiah216: what type of wireless card? | 20:22 |
| trece8 | usr13: same as before: Can't open display | 20:22 |
| ssta | bf4648: okay, so add "|xargs rm" to the command, and that should delete the rest of them | 20:23 |

| ssta | bf4648: then they're gone. Sorry | 20:41 |
| ssta | rcmaehl: generally, yes | 20:42 |
| urlin2u | rcmaehl, yes but put a boot flag on the y=thumb, sop format it with gparted and put the boot flag from there as well,. | 20:42 |

| ManDay | Man... It feels good to be reminded why I use Gentoo :-/ | 20:42 |
| SunTsu | bf4648: btw. if what you were using was my example: ls --escape would have done the trick, which escapes spaces and other non-graphical chars | 20:42 |
| bucky | ManDay, the link you gave me is for lucid not oneiric | 20:42 |

| bf4648 | Yup, I wish the rm -rf command didn't delete things permantely | 20:43 |
| cristian_c | Hi | 20:43 |
| rcmaehl | can you repost the command again. | 20:43 |
| bean | Peyam_: xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --output HDMI1 --auto | 20:43 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: used "-f" with apt-get? | 20:43 |
| SunTsu | bf4648: _always_ check stuff befor running rm -rf, like put an echo before it and check what it delets | 20:43 |

| bf4648 | SunTsu...what do you mean? | 20:44 |
| Peyam_ | bean: | 20:44 |
| ManDay | sskalnik: It should not be necessary. | 20:44 |
| urlin2u | rcmaehl, why isn't there a package for loading a windows iso in ubuntu.. have you lost your critical thinking ability. There are 3rd party apps that will check out multisystem at pendrivelinux. | 20:44 |
| bf4648 | Could you give me an example? | 20:44 |
| ManDay | sskalnik: Bloody apt-get should tell me what the heck is it's problem! | 20:44 |
| ssta | bf4648: and use /tmp for testing stuff. mkdir /tmp/somewheretotest and then test in there | 20:44 |

| geoffmcc | Peyam_: just something maybe you havent considered. In the past was hdmi turned off in bios for any reason? I ask because before i had flatscreen i needed vga and had to disable hdmi in bios to get vga to work. if it not detecting hdmi maybe that could be why | 20:45 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: As in you know the error is false? | 20:45 |

| sskalnik | ManDay: Roger that | 20:48 |
| cristian_c | bean, so for you too? | 20:48 |
| Peyam_ | bean: it says no video signal | 20:48 |
| === marcuy_ is now known as marcuy | ||
| bean | Peyam_: I'm not sure. Sometimes it won't work if you have both HDMI and VGA connected. | 20:48 |
| bean | cristian_c: I have no idea. | 20:49 |
| cristian_c | bean, This of course if the X server is running, but I do not know of any other known video servers, so I do not think anything else could be running it | 20:49 |
| Peyam_ | bean: it still says disconnected onverbose | 20:49 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: I seem to have entered in the middle of things; which Ubuntu version are you using and what are you trying to do? It looks like you're trying to install gcc. | 20:49 |
| Peyam_ | on verbose | 20:49 |
| cristian_c | bean, There is also this? | 20:49 |
| ManDay | sskalnik: install gcc-4.3 on oneiric | 20:49 |
| html | how so i ssh or ftp to a remote pc | 20:49 |
| bean | Peyam_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HDMI is the best place i can point you to. | 20:49 |
| ManDay | sskalnik: you know what, **** apt-get. i can't be arsed to put up with that all day. I'll just install it manually | 20:50 |
| ikonia | ManDay: stop with the staring out of words | 20:50 |
| ManDay | bucky: ^ thanks to you, but I cant take that any more | 20:50 |
| bean | cristian_c: I don't know what you're asking, all I told you was to not paste things here. | 20:50 |
| ikonia | ManDay: you know the rules bu now, if you have to star the word, don't use it | 20:50 |
| bean | ManDay: ... lol | 20:50 |
| ManDay | ikonia: don't worry. I'll stop talking alltogether | 20:50 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: language please. | 20:50 |
| geoffmcc | Peyam_: was hdmi connected when computer started? | 20:50 |
| ikonia | ManDay: thanks | 20:50 |
| Peyam_ | bean: how do I make a startup program that runs when computer turns on? | 20:51 |
| Peyam_ | with that codes | 20:51 |
| Solved | How do I determine my "printer address" in ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| Peyam_ | geoffmcc: no! | 20:51 |
| geoffmcc | Peyam_: restart with cable connected, will detect just fine | 20:51 |
| cristian_c | bean, so I have to tell? :) | 20:51 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: purely out of curiosity, why 4.3 instead of 4.4? | 20:51 |
| bucky | ManDay, you just have to search for it.. this guy built it but i can't find his ppa right now.. it takes searching on google | 20:51 |
| Peyam_ | geoffmcc: are you sure? | 20:51 |
| geoffmcc | Peyam_: yes | 20:51 |
| phil_phys | can I extend the space inside the partition without deleting data? | 20:51 |
| bean | Peyam_: you might want to try it just by rebooting with the HDMI connected first. You would edit your X config. | 20:51 |
| ikonia | that error looks like it's a package from the wrong ubuntu version | 20:51 |
| phil_phys | in which way? | 20:51 |
| ManDay | sskalnik: A propriatary software called "matlab" needs it. | 20:51 |
| Peyam_ | geoffmcc: but it says disconnected. | 20:52 |
| ikonia | ManDay: matlab will work with most versions of GCC, I have it running with 4.2 | 20:52 |
| bean | cristian_c: please restate your question. | 20:52 |
| Peyam_ | bean: I cant see anything with hdmi. I cant edit anything | 20:52 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Yes, older than 4.3 | 20:52 |
| geoffmcc | Peyam_: when computer booted and loaded everyhting hdmi was not connected, when it boots up and its connected it will notice and enable | 20:52 |
| cristian_c | bean, ok | 20:52 |
| ikonia | ManDay: so why are you trying to install 4.3 ? | 20:52 |
| Peyam_ | geoffmcc: i will try it now | 20:53 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Because that is the newest GCC supported by matlab 2011b | 20:53 |
| ikonia | ManDay but it will support older versions | 20:53 |
| bucky | ManDay, you can dl them and install them one by one here | 20:53 |
| geoffmcc | Peyam_: first try just hdmi connected as bean is right, sometimes hdmi and vga can cause issues if not prop configured | 20:53 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, instead i=of asking the same question posta a screen shot of gparted in a imagebin and get this task done. | 20:53 |
| bucky | ManDay, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/1978603/+listing-archive-extra | 20:53 |
| bucky | ManDay, that's the best i can do | 20:53 |
| cristian_c | I have to change the key number code manager from the default one in ubuntu to that used by an alternative program, such as keytouch. I checked a configuration file called 55keytouchd_launch (found in / etc/X11/Xsession.d) whose content is as follows: | 20:54 |
| phil_phys | what is a screen shot? | 20:54 |
| cristian_c | http://paste.ubuntu.com/774537/ | 20:54 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: Aha. It looks like Matlab wants an old version, e.g., 4.2.3. :/ | 20:54 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: I understand your predicament now. | 20:54 |
| cristian_c | I do not think it is very useful to the cause | 20:54 |
| nimbiotics | Hello all. Im using ubuntu 11.10 with gnome classic (I'm a Unity hater). I installed compiz but I cannot see ANY of the effects y select using CompizConfig Settings Manager. Why isn't Compiz working?? TI | 20:54 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, open gparted hit the prtsc key and post it here. http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | 20:54 |
| cristian_c | What should I do to bypass the management of numerical codes by udev? | 20:55 |
| cristian_c | may also be the X server to run this stuff by default in ubuntu | 20:55 |
| cristian_c | so for you too? | 20:55 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: Does Matlab refuse to work, or does it just five warnings about the version? | 20:55 |
| bean | cristian_c: I'm confused as to A) why you need to install keytouch, and B) what isn't working for you. | 20:55 |
| bucky | ManDay, make sure you get your versions right... also there's a matlab compatible (mostly) in the repos called freemat | 20:56 |
| urlin2u | nimbiotics, try #compiz | 20:56 |
| cristian_c | bean, I've installed keytouch, but it uses a own keycode manager | 20:56 |
| nimbiotics | urlin2u: THX | 20:56 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: Might give this a read http://whowhywhathow.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html | 20:56 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I can't figure out how to get the PPA URL and the key from that url you gave me. | 20:57 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: You may have already tried it, but it might be worth a look. | 20:57 |
| ManDay | sskalnik: It refuses to work. | 20:57 |
| ikonia | ManDay: I didn't give you a PPA | 20:57 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I couldn't tell. | 20:57 |
| ikonia | ManDay: I still don't understand why are you pushing gcc 4.3 ? | 20:57 |
| cristian_c | bean, keytouch's keycodes are different from the default keycodes manager in ubuntu | 20:57 |
| ikonia | !info gcc | 20:57 |
| ubottu | gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.107ubuntu5)): GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.6.1-2ubuntu5 (oneiric), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB | 20:57 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I'm not? I'd just prefer it over an even older version, obviously. | 20:57 |
| ikonia | ManDay: why ? | 20:57 |
| ManDay | Why would I want an older version? | 20:58 |
| bean | cristian_c: keytouch-editor ? | 20:58 |
| ikonia | ManDay: compatability, support, | 20:58 |
| ikonia | ManDay: a newer version is not "better" | 20:58 |
| cristian_c | bean, then keytouch codes do not work on ubuntu, because ubuntu uses its codes | 20:58 |
| ikonia | ManDay: compilers can often not work with code if the code is not designed for the way that compiler works | 20:58 |
| cristian_c | bean, yes | 20:58 |
| ikonia | ManDay: xorg used to be very fussy with certain compilers, even the kernel did at one point | 20:58 |
| ManDay | ikonia: So which do you suggest? Since they (everything older than 4.5) appeared equally hard to install I simply chose the newest among them- | 20:58 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: by "refuses to work", what exact errors are you seeing? The apt-get output, or something else? | 20:59 |
| ikonia | ManDay: you're using ubuntu 11.10 ? | 20:59 |
| ikonia | ManDay: or 11.04 ? | 20:59 |
| ManDay | sskalnik: You asked about matlab. | 20:59 |
| ManDay | ikonia: 11.10 | 20:59 |
| cristian_c | bean, the default keycodes' manager in ubuntu should be X | 20:59 |
| ikonia | ManDay: ok, so that comes with 4.4 - is there a problem using 4.4 ? | 20:59 |
| bean | cristian_c: keytouch only supports certain keyboards. | 20:59 |
| ManDay | Yes, matlab only supports 4.3 | 20:59 |
| ManDay | (and possibly older) | 20:59 |
| bean | cristian_c: and you cna use keytouch-editor to 'train' your system | 21:00 |
| ikonia | ManDay: ok, according to the matlab website ubuntu 11.04 is fully supported with gcc and glibc versions, have you conisdered using 11.04 to that the whole distro meets the support requirements ? | 21:00 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: Ah, okay, my mistake. Looks like I'm up to date on your issue then. Cool, thanks for the info. Now I guess we just need to get gcc 4.3 then. | 21:00 |
| ikonia | sskalnik: I wouldn't suggest that looking at the matlab support requirements on libc as well, | 21:00 |
| cristian_c | bean, but keytouch-editor recognizes the keys on my keyboard | 21:00 |
| sskalnik | ikonia: Link? | 21:00 |
| cristian_c | bean, it assigns the right functions | 21:01 |
| ManDay | ikonia: sskalnik Really, I'm just using the manually installed version now. Even though I will have hack arround the non-standard locations of libs and includes. But I'm tired of this hassle with trying to get it to install through apt-get | 21:01 |
| ikonia | it's beyond gcc, which inferes libc/binutils and all other fun stuff | 21:01 |
| ikonia | http://www.mathworks.co.uk/support/sysreq/current_release/linux.html | 21:01 |
| ikonia | there is also a more detailsed one | 21:01 |
| FloodBot1 | ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:01 |
| ikonia | ManDay: the libraries ARE standard | 21:01 |
| bean | cristian_c: then I'm confused as to wtf your problem is? | 21:01 |
| ManDay | ikonia: /usr/lib/x86_64-gnu-linux is hardly a standard location | 21:01 |
| ikonia | ManDay: the fact that you have no idea how to build gcc suggests it will not be a sane compiler | 21:01 |
| ikonia | ManDay: it is for a multi-lib distro | 21:01 |
| ManDay | ikonia: It's still not a standard. | 21:02 |
| phil_phys | urlin2U: How can I obtain the image? | 21:02 |
| ManDay | And as I said I already got gcc running | 21:02 |
| ikonia | ManDay: you need a sane compiler | 21:02 |
| ikonia | ManDay: how do you know ? | 21:02 |
| sskalnik | ikonia: But according to ManDay, matlab is not working on 11.10 for him/her, yes? | 21:02 |
| ikonia | ManDay: it is standard | 21:02 |
| ikonia | ManDay: what have you done to provie it's a sane version | 21:02 |
| Peyam_ | it didnt work | 21:02 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I compiled a test program | 21:02 |
| ikonia | ManDay: hello world ? | 21:02 |
| Peyam_ | bean: it still doesnt work | 21:02 |
| ManDay | ikonia: yes. | 21:02 |
| cristian_c | bean, therefore rit ecognizes the keyboard, but the system also favors another manager, not keytouch | 21:02 |
| ikonia | ManDay: ok, that's not a compiler test | 21:02 |
| Peyam_ | bean: please send me the same like | 21:02 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I know. | 21:02 |
| cristian_c | bean, that is the problem | 21:02 |
| ikonia | ManDay: then why did you just say it was | 21:02 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, you have two options in the menu is screenshot or the prtsc key save it then put it on the http imagebin site I posted. | 21:03 |
| bean | Peyam_: xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --output HDMI1 --auto ? | 21:03 |
| alecbenzer | where should the standard magic file be in ubuntu? /usr/share/misc/magic is an empty dir, for example | 21:03 |
| ikonia | sskalnik: I would use 11.04 personally as that is confirmed supported by mathworks | 21:03 |
| Peyam_ | no | 21:03 |
| Peyam_ | the link | 21:03 |
| ManDay | ikonia: I just said I compiled a test program. | 21:03 |
| Peyam_ | on ubuntu wiki | 21:03 |
| ikonia | sskalnik: out of the box/stock | 21:03 |
| bullgard4 | In Ubuntu 10.04.3 there is a file /usr/share/app-install/desktop/conduit.desktop. In Ubuntu 11.10 this file is named /usr/share/app-install/desktop/conduit:conduit.desktop. What is the reason for this change of name? | 21:03 |
| ikonia | ManDay: yes, and you then said you know it's not a valid test | 21:03 |
| urlin2u | !imagebin | phil_phys | 21:03 |
| ubottu | phil_phys: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 21:03 |
| ManDay | ikonia: So why do you suggest gcc does not find the libs in that place, if they are "standard", as you claim. | 21:03 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Yes, I did. | 21:03 |
| alecbenzer | (although the file command does work so I'm assuming the data is somewhere) | 21:03 |
| ikonia | ManDay: because you built gcc wrong | 21:03 |
| cristian_c | bean, I have to disable the default manager in ubuntu, that operation should be not made by it | 21:04 |
| ikonia | ManDay: which is why I'm saying your compiler is not sane and you should not try to use it | 21:04 |
| cristian_c | but by keytouch | 21:04 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: did you manually build gcc 4.3? | 21:04 |
| ManDay | ikonia: We were already there. And you are the only person saying that. I was already told that gcc requires special patches to find libs in that dir. Clearly, they are not standard | 21:04 |
| ikonia | ManDay: they are | 21:04 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Then prove it. | 21:05 |
| ikonia | prove what ? | 21:05 |
| ssta | ManDay: no, iot just requires the right options to ./configure (which several people told you to hours ago) | 21:05 |
| ManDay | The ubuntu wiki itsself says that such a FS structure is made up sepcially for ubuntu | 21:05 |
| html | sskalnik, thanks,,, but i was hoping to use filezilla im new to it | 21:05 |
| ikonia | ManDay: what ?# | 21:05 |
| ManDay | ssta: And which, to the current point in time, still remains unproven and unbelievable. | 21:05 |
| Ampelbein | ManDay: The locations of the libs standard on debian/ubuntu systems, the FHS currently does not recognize those directory paths. | 21:05 |
| ikonia | ManDay: why don't you just use 11.04 which is supported out of the box | 21:05 |
| ikonia | ManDay: it works with matlab out of the box and you know everything will be sane | 21:06 |
| ssta | ManDay: whatever. You haven't even tried | 21:06 |
| skegeek | ckserv identify 91fordgeek11 | 21:06 |

| Pici | skegeek: Please change your password, and consider identifying in a status window next time. | 21:06 |
| ManDay | And since I set everything up from a debootstrap it didn't really matter for me. | 21:06 |
| ikonia | ManDay: I appreciate that, but if your driver is matlab and you are not confident with what you are doing, surly a sane build environment is better to play with programming tools like matlab | 21:06 |

| skegeek | Darn it. | 21:07 |
| ikonia | ManDay: I don't think so, but I don't know, I'd have to check, but it's in 11.04 which is fully supported, so if you want to change versions 11.04 would be where to go | 21:07 |
| ikonia | ManDay: yes, 11.04 | 21:07 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: Would it be feasible for you to switch from 11.10 to 11.04? | 21:07 |
| ikonia | ManDay: http://www.mathworks.co.uk/support/sysreq/current_release/linux.html | 21:07 |
| ikonia | ManDay: 11.04 is fully supported out the box | 21:07 |
| ManDay | ikonia: Ok, I'll change over to 11.04 then | 21:07 |
| sskalnik | ManDay: That seems like a safe option with less hassle for you. | 21:07 |
| bean | Peyam_: you could throw it in /home/peyam/.bash_profile | 21:07 |
| bean | i think | 21:07 |
| ManDay | Ok, thank you, I'll start building now | 21:08 |
| ikonia | building ??? | 21:08 |
| ikonia | you just need to install it | 21:08 |

| bean | Peyam_: I have no idea. | 21:13 |
| nick5556 | asagain.. is there an apple borwser for ubuntu ? | 21:13 |
| cristian_c | bean, ok, thanks | 21:13 |
| Peyam_ | bean: it kills me | 21:13 |
| bean | nick5556: ... theres no such thing as apple browser, anywhere. | 21:13 |
| khaime | I have a few wireless devices of my own and they do not work , i went to ; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear | 21:13 |
| geoffmcc | khaime: ok so whats the results you were expecting | 21:13 |
| bean | nick5556: just use the standard browser. | 21:13 |
| Peyam_ | geoffmcc: it didnt work | 21:13 |
| Pessimist | nick5556: Try better alternatives, like firefox, opera, chrome | 21:13 |
| bean | nick5556: Firefox, etc. | 21:13 |
| ManDay | ikonia ok thank you | 21:13 |
| nick5556 | bean yeah there is an apple browser for OSX | 21:13 |
| nick5556 | you call it whatever you like | 21:14 |
| bean | nick5556: that's called safari. | 21:14 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, thanks anyway, is a volunteer help :) | 21:14 |
| nick5556 | i call it an apple browser | 21:14 |
| ikonia | ManDay: just slow down and clam down before making rash claims, people will help you but only if you stop spouting nonsense | 21:14 |
| khaime | geoffmcc, I was expecting the usb device to work ! Ubuntu sees the card, and I installed the driver...now I can't get it to work | 21:14 |
| nick5556 | bean thank you again. is there an apple browser for ubuntu ? | 21:14 |
| ikonia | nick5556: no# | 21:14 |
| insectatorious | Is there an alternative to Nautilus? I have to run killall everytime I boot before it works | 21:14 |
| nick5556 | thank you | 21:14 |
| ikonia | nick5556: safari is not available on ubuntu | 21:14 |
| bean | nick5556: what does having an "apple browser" do for you that another browser doesn't. | 21:14 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: why? | 21:14 |
| nick5556 | ikonia something based on it | 21:14 |
| ikonia | nick5556: it's not open source | 21:14 |
| nick5556 | just like google browser | 21:14 |
| ikonia | nick5556: it's not open source | 21:14 |
| nick5556 | ok thank you | 21:15 |
| nick5556 | wasted 10 minutes of my life to get an answer | 21:15 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, bean is not obligated to help :) | 21:15 |
| nick5556 | thank you for questioning me for that long | 21:15 |
| bean | nick5556: ....? we said that from the beginning | 21:15 |
| Pessimist | nick5556: Safari isn't released for ubuntu. Try better alternatives like firefox, opera, chrome | 21:15 |
| nick5556 | i don't trust google browser | 21:15 |
| bean | nick5556: I don't know what an 'apple browser' gets you that firefox, etc doesn't. Either. | 21:15 |
| nick5556 | they track you online if you use their search engine | 21:15 |
| ikonia | nick5556: there are other options as you've just been told | 21:15 |
| nick5556 | and you want me to use their browser too | 21:16 |
| geoffmcc | khaime: how did you install the driver? | 21:16 |
| bean | nick5556: I said firefox. | 21:16 |
| khaime | geoffmcc, I just did a iwconfig and got nothing | 21:16 |
| ikonia | nick5556: don't use it, it's simple, use a different one | 21:16 |
| khaime | geoffmcc, yes, I installed the driver | 21:16 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: Can you help me please? | 21:16 |
| nick5556 | bean yeah that's the default | 21:16 |
| nick5556 | for uubntu | 21:16 |
| nick5556 | thank you | 21:16 |
| bean | nick5556: and what's wrong with the default? | 21:16 |
| nick5556 | nothing | 21:16 |
| witakr | Hello folks | 21:16 |
| nick5556 | i want to use extra browsers | 21:16 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, what to do in practice? | 21:16 |
| nick5556 | for testing | 21:16 |
| phil_phys | yes 11.10 | 21:16 |
| sskalnik | There's always links... | 21:16 |
| geoffmcc | khaime: no, im asking how did you install it? did you follow a guide so i can see what was done | 21:17 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: I cant get my ubuntu work with hdmi | 21:17 |

| khaime | geoffmcc, if you go here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear ..... and look toward the bottom of the page, you will see what I am talking about | 21:18 |
| insectatorious | Guys, are there any alternatives to Nautilus on Ubuntu? | 21:18 |
| nick5556 | Gecko, webkit or GTK or presto | 21:18 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: both | 21:18 |
| khaime | the ath9_htc-installer was not foudn on the link provided | 21:18 |
| bean | nick5556: firefox is based on Gecko, as is Iceweasel. Chromium / Google Chrome is based on webkit. | 21:18 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, sound is easy | 21:18 |
| nick5556 | i don't touch google browser but what is ice weasel ? | 21:19 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, you have to enable hdmi device in pulseaudio | 21:19 |
| phil_phys | urlin2u: Sorry i didn't know that function and that buttom | 21:19 |

| Peyam_ | cristian_c: I have a desktop computer.. | 21:19 |
| bean | nick5556: theresz no reason to not touch googles browser. They won't track you without permission. | 21:19 |
| urlin2u | insectatorious, your question on the web. http://askubuntu.com/questions/28556/are-there-any-alternatives-to-nautilus | 21:19 |
| nick5556 | he reviews.. not all of them are his main borwser | 21:19 |
| ikonia | nick5556: people have different views, so try them, see what you like, don't like it, remove it | 21:19 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, of course | 21:19 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: im beginner please step by step | 21:20 |

| Peyam_ | cristian_c: yes. it is installed now. that program you mentioned | 21:22 |
| nick5556 | even if it's the last one to survive the market | 21:22 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, Iaunch it | 21:22 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, so you want to expand the sda5 to the left? | 21:22 |
| bean | nick5556: it's not google browser... it's just the same code... lol | 21:22 |
| bean | nick5556: I don't get the google-phobia, but to each their own I suppose. | 21:23 |
| Peyam_ | waite | 21:23 |
| phil_phys | urlin2u: Yes i want to extend sda4 | 21:23 |
| phil_phys | 5 | 21:23 |
| phil_phys | sda5 | 21:23 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: yes | 21:23 |
| Peyam_ | and now | 21:23 |
| Peyam_ | ? | 21:23 |
| geoffmcc | khaime: and is wireless listed as an option in network conenctions and it wont connect. or it just not listed? | 21:23 |
| khaime | geoffmcc, it is just not listed | 21:24 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, you need to not be using it first, and turn the swap off use a live cd. | 21:24 |
| suel | hello world | 21:24 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: and then? | 21:24 |
| === momoz_ is now known as momoz | ||
| bf4648 | how do I make a directory & then change the file permissions on that directory so that "others" can access the directory: mkdir /var/www/its/tmp | chmod 777 tmp ? | 21:24 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, select hardware tab | 21:25 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, it looks as if you booted into the sda5 right now sda4 is the extended your using it. | 21:25 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: it is just colym | 21:25 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: and then? | 21:25 |
| easypie | what name should i give my file in /etc/sudoers.d/<file> so i can add users to allow root privilege? | 21:25 |
| phil_phys | urlin2u: How can I turn the swap off? | 21:25 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, select colym? What's mean? | 21:25 |
| phil_phys | the swap is sda6? | 21:26 |
| bf4648 | I answered my own question | 21:26 |
| === soreau_ is now known as soreau | ||
| cristian_c | Peyam_, *colym, what's mean? | 21:26 |
| Pistahh | hi | 21:26 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: volume | 21:26 |
| cristian_c | ok | 21:26 |
| Peyam_ | and then? | 21:26 |
| MrPumpkincitis | Hello Hackers | 21:26 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, you right click the partition then swap off. Notice the keys on the partitions as well it means they are mounted you have to unmount them. Ubuntu does not resize partitions while using them like windows does. | 21:26 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, no, you have to select a tab in the window | 21:26 |
| Pistahh | I installed 11.10, installed the gnome-shell package, logged in with "Gnome" session. Now on the top menu there are "applications" and "places", but no "Activities" - any idea why? | 21:27 |
| nick5556 | easypie what are you using the computer for ? | 21:27 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, you have got two devices: a sound card and a hdmi device | 21:27 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: there is nothing with hardware . it is just configuration.. | 21:27 |
| suel | who knows a site where i can practice english speaking??? | 21:27 |
| bean | easypie: I usually just do visudo and edit the file that way. | 21:27 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, take a screen | 21:27 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: no just one. volume | 21:27 |
| bean | suel: this is an ubuntu support channel... | 21:27 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, take a screenshot | 21:28 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: it is in swedish | 21:28 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, so you need to shrink the sda3 to exspand the sda4 into it you will need to use a gparted or live ubuntu cd. | 21:28 |
| suel | bean: do you know a channel about what i ask? | 21:28 |
| bean | suel: no | 21:28 |
| MrPumpkincitis | always have open 5 desktops and each one has 1-3 applications running. When I reboot I have to manually open each one. Is there a way all can open automatically? I am running 11.04 | 21:28 |
| easypie | nick5556, web server to host website. i want a user other than root to login and su for root if needed. | 21:28 |
| livingdaylight | I don't know how to diagnose my problem. Computer will be working fine but after some time or if I've left it idle some time and come back, bits have frozen. If I'm on my browser I might be able to continue surfing but not change workspaces or open other applications. I had a broken hd not long ago which I changed and things have been fine till now. I don't know whether it is hard drive again, or motherboard. I | 21:29 |
| livingdaylight | 've reinstalled a different os and similar problem has already started again. Each time all I can do is hit ctrl+alt+ prtScr+K and login again. | 21:29 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, it doesn't matter, I translate | 21:29 |
| suel | bean: thanks anyway | 21:29 |
| Peyam_ | okej | 21:29 |
| nick5556 | easypie echo 'easypie ALL=(ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers | 21:29 |
| ikonia | livingdaylight: try ##hardware | 21:29 |
| Peyam_ | which flik do you wana see | 21:29 |
| Peyam_ | which tab? | 21:29 |
| ikonia | livingdaylight: having a problem with multiple OS's, same symptoms, probably a hardware issue | 21:29 |
| nick5556 | that way you become a sudoer | 21:29 |
| IamHe | Hey, I'm using a live cd to boot on a pc running windows vista.. im trying to salvage the information on the hard drive.. but the hard drive shows all the folders in ubuntu.. but the majority of the files within these folders.. don't show.. like the images.. what do i do? | 21:29 |
| easypie | bean, i created a file sudolist and chmod to 0440 as required and use <user> ALL=(ALL) ALL | 21:29 |
| bean | nick5556: I wouldn't advise that. easypie | 21:29 |
| ikonia | easypie: do not do that | 21:29 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: which tab? | 21:29 |
| nick5556 | well he wants it | 21:29 |
| nick5556 | he said web server | 21:30 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, all the tabs :) | 21:30 |
| nick5556 | so it's far a way from kids ad strnagers | 21:30 |
| phil_phys | urlin2u: So i need to right click the sda6?? | 21:30 |
| ikonia | easypie: do not follow nick5556's advice | 21:30 |
| ikonia | easypie: that is not how you edit sudo | 21:30 |
| bean | nick5556: that's not the best way to edit sudo at all | 21:30 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: okej | 21:30 |
| livingdaylight | ikonia, yea, probably, Ubuntu and xubuntu [fresh install today] Firefox seems to trigger it. But ran chrome came back and had to reboot too | 21:30 |
| nick5556 | thank to god i'm wrong | 21:30 |
| nick5556 | no worries | 21:30 |
| easypie | i move the sudolist into /etc/sudoers.d/sudolist | 21:30 |
| bean | easypie: you could just use the command 'visudo' to edit your sudoers file | 21:30 |
| witakr | Is there anyone here who is familiar with Jahshaka Video Editor? I believe the problem may actually be with qt4 as I get an error when I run ./configure in terminal to compile Jahshaka. The error I get is : "Project LOAD(): Feature Settings.pro cannot be found." Can someone help me figure out how to fix this so I can get Jahshaka running, please? I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 Thanks! | 21:30 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, yes the sda6 is the swap right click it in the listand the clcl swap off. | 21:31 |
| ikonia | livingdaylight: ok - so both ubuntu based though | 21:31 |
| livingdaylight | but chrome is more funtional until system crashes properly... but otherwise for all intent and purposes it appears fine right now as I type her | 21:31 |
| tbruff13 | does anyone here need help with an issue in this channel | 21:31 |
| ikonia | livingdaylight: have you considered doing a base hardware check, such as memtest | 21:31 |
| ikonia | tbruff13: if they did, they will ask | 21:31 |
| livingdaylight | ikonia, yes *buntu based 100% | 21:31 |
| cristian_c | Peyam_, write in the query, I have to be away | 21:31 |
| tbruff13 | ikonia: usually that makes people ask | 21:31 |
| urlin2u | clcl=click | 21:31 |
| IamHe | *********** why aren't any of my image files showing on my mounted hard drive in ubuntu live cd.. i'm running it on a windows computer.. trying to save the files off the disk to an external because windows boot files are screwed up | 21:31 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: http://i44.tinypic.com/4masy.png | 21:31 |
| livingdaylight | ikonia, that's why I am asking because I don't know what I can do. hardwqare check such as memtest? | 21:32 |
| easypie | bean, this comment made me turn to creating a file in sudoers.d: #Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of | 21:32 |
| easypie | # directly modifying this file. | 21:32 |
| ikonia | livingdaylight: I'd suggest a little hardware test, run memcheck for a good few hours, and use a tool called "stress Linux" for a good few hours, just test your hardware to get an idea that is't supported | 21:32 |
| bean | easypie: that works, i suppose. | 21:32 |
| livingdaylight | ikonia, can you please tell me how? | 21:32 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: http://i39.tinypic.com/2dltd2s.png | 21:32 |

| livingdaylight | ikonia, not familiar with either | 21:32 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: http://i41.tinypic.com/r9erd5.png | 21:32 |
| ikonia | livingdaylight: memtest is in the ubuntu boot menu, select it from grub run it for 12 - 14 hours or so at least, any errors in your ram will show up | 21:32 |
| livingdaylight | ikonia, is stress test in repositories? where is this tool? | 21:33 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: http://i39.tinypic.com/2cnitf.png | 21:33 |

| livingdaylight | i see! | 21:33 |
| ikonia | Peyam_: you've posted that 3 times in 1 minute, can you give it a rest pleasel. | 21:33 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, are you doing this from being booted to the sda5 partition? | 21:33 |
| bean | easypie: you'd have to uncomment a line in your sudoers anyways. the #includedir line | 21:33 |
| BLZbubba_ | is there an easy way to have ubuntu's useradd do a proper job of setting up a new account? | 21:33 |
| Peyam_ | cristian_c: http://i40.tinypic.com/2ibm8pf.png | 21:33 |
| Peyam_ | it different pics | 21:33 |
| easypie | bean, ok. i'll opt for visudo and add the user there. | 21:34 |
| phil_phys | i could try from cd live | 21:34 |
| ikonia | Peyam_: ok, maybe giving him chance to respond is a good move | 21:34 |
| nick5556 | how to disable guest session ? | 21:34 |
| ikonia | Peyam_: he's aready said hes away and not here | 21:34 |

| ikonia | livingdaylight: it's a bit of a drag as it will waste 24 hours of your life, however it's worth it to get a bit of confidence your hardware is ok | 21:35 |
| urlin2u | phil_phys, you will have to reload the grub bootloader if you move the front of sda5 unless hyou chand=ge the fstab to sda5 from a uuid. | 21:35 |
| urlin2u | you change | 21:35 |
| easypie | difference between <user> ALL=(ALL) ALL and <user> ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL ..? | 21:35 |
| livingdaylight | ikonia, well, this has more than wasted 24hrs of my life already. Its a real drag, coz I not long ago got a new hd. Admittedly the machine is relatively old now, although still a dual-core. Nevertheless, I don't know what I can and can't keep and whether to just get a new base unit. If this can diagnose the problem so at least I know whehter I can salvage my system or not I can move forward | 21:37 |

| bullgard4 | In Ubuntu 10.04.3 there is a file /usr/share/app-install/desktop/conduit.desktop. In Ubuntu 11.10 this file is named /usr/share/app-install/desktop/conduit:conduit.desktop. What is the reason for this change of name? | 21:38 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: why does it matter ? | 21:38 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: it's a file name | 21:38 |

| bean | in general, that's not you remove it. nick5556. | 21:38 |
| nick5556 | no i said disable it. ubuntu can switch to multi users without logging off | 21:39 |
| urlin2u | gaussblurinc, you have to go to 10.10 first | 21:39 |
| nick5556 | what if someone logs as a guest without my permission ? | 21:39 |
| nick5556 | and his account is active at the background | 21:39 |
| bean | nick5556: I think you're a little more paranoid than it's worth | 21:39 |

| ikonia | LjL: I thought you could shrink a mounted partition in gparted as long as there is file system space, it won't take effect until the next reboot | 22:05 |
| ikonia | but you can't grow it as the partition boundries would be exceeded | 22:05 |

| phil_phys | on the left i have windows partition | 22:06 |
| LjL | phil_phys: didn't you just say you had free space on the left? | 22:06 |

| pp7 | Kaapa: must be some driver not working properly | 22:57 |
| OpenGL | that was @ geoffmcc | 22:57 |
| paulsomebody | anavarro: You can do as genii-around suggests, but using an unsupported release is a bad idea from my point of view. Why not to upgrade to 10.04? It is LTS, which means that you will get security updates and support until 2013. | 22:57 |
| skegeek | Would it be better to ask in the forums? I don't usually post to them because I don't like waiting a long time. | 22:58 |
| anavarro | paulsomebody: I have 11.04 already. | 22:58 |
| paulsomebody | anavarro: Oh, sorry. | 22:58 |
| geoffmcc | OpenGL: what i was going to suggest is throwing a sleep command in, if you were using startup applications, but i dont think thats what your looking for | 22:59 |
| anavarro | paulsomebody: I guess I did something terrible and I deleted the file or something like that. | 22:59 |
| skegeek | anavarro: If you're trying to install the tar compression utility, why not use apt-get? | 22:59 |

| paulsomebody | anavarro: WHAT exactly were you trying to do when you have got that error? | 23:06 |
| anavarro | I tried through Software Center and I've got the same error | 23:06 |

| geoffmcc | OpenGL: and whats your script, as s99 will run first | 23:07 |
| OpenGL | geoffmcc, I thought 99 was last? so is smaller number later? if so I modified it the wrong way round doh | 23:08 |
| conntrack | sup | 23:08 |
| paulsomebody | anavarro: This situation is paradoxical. Since tar will be packed in the .deb, you will need it to install it. | 23:08 |
| infeeeee | i installed the server version, and it detects the wlan adapter, but it says power managment is off | 23:08 |
| OpenGL | geoffmcc, the decoding software is S15 | 23:08 |

| geoffmcc | OpenGL: yes, you wanted to mod your script, not myth | 23:08 |
| anavarro | But how come? | 23:08 |
| paulsomebody | anavarro: I suggest you get an Ubuntu Live CD, boot from it and repair it from there. | 23:08 |
| geoffmcc | OpenGL: my bad, your right, s99 is last.. sorry | 23:09 |
| OpenGL | geoffmcc, so if I make my script s99 and mythtv s15 it should be OK? | 23:09 |
| OpenGL | geoffmcc, ah | 23:09 |

Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 23:10 |
| infeeeee | with which command can i switch on the wlan adapter? | 23:10 |
| geoffmcc | OpenGL: before i mess up again, your script needs to go first then myth, right | 23:11 |
| OpenGL | geoffmcc, my script needs to run before mythbackend... if the scripts are run in parrallel my script needs to finish executing before mythtv starts | 23:11 |

| OpenGL | good plan | 23:39 |
| DoctorTruth | no idea what button to push to get the recovery mode, | 23:39 |
| DoctorTruth | ok Tech-1 nvidia-current was already installed, | 23:39 |
| DoctorTruth | so I am going to reinstall | 23:39 |
| paulsomebody | DoctorTruth: You have to kill the X in order to manually install the Nvidia driver, but this is not recommended, since you will not get updates. | 23:40 |
| MoMo | is there a way with sed, if i have a group file (/etc/group) to parse just the group name and remove everything to the right starting with the first : | 23:40 |
| DoctorTruth | paulsomebody, so what the heck does one do with this video card, or ANY video card ??!??!? | 23:40 |
| DoctorTruth | do I have to buy used old one from craigslist or something ? | 23:41 |
| DoctorTruth | it was the most basic common one of the shelf | 23:41 |
| paulsomebody | DoctorTruth: Why would you want to do that? | 23:41 |
| OpenGL | ok in my /etc/rc5.d directory I have S35decode (which is a custom script) and S99mythbackend yet mythbackend is still starting before my decoding software is ready for it... | 23:41 |
| DoctorTruth | paulsomebody, so I can use my screen ! | 23:41 |
| DoctorTruth | I can't program drivers myself | 23:41 |
| paulsomebody | DoctorTruth: You simply install binary proprietary drivers, that is all. | 23:41 |
| OpenGL | DoctorTruth, what video card? | 23:41 |
| DoctorTruth | nvidia geforce gt-520 | 23:41 |
| paulsomebody | DoctorTruth: You usually do not have to program drivers youself. :) | 23:42 |
| OpenGL | just install the binary driver using apt-get or synaptic that should be it | 23:42 |
| DoctorTruth | ok so I have to kill X and run that .run file | 23:42 |
| DoctorTruth | OpenGL, you mean nvidia-common ? | 23:42 |
| OpenGL | no grab it from synaptic... should work for that card | 23:42 |
| OpenGL | erm sec | 23:42 |
| DoctorTruth | that was already installed OpenGL | 23:42 |

| DoctorTruth | yeah paulsomebody did that, but it links me to nvidia's web site, which gives me a .run file, | 23:43 |
| OpenGL | nvidia-glx-185 i think | 23:43 |
| DoctorTruth | so | 23:43 |
| DoctorTruth | OpenGL, shouldn't this be in "hardware drivers" ? | 23:43 |
| paulsomebody | sumosu: I am not familiar with the utility you mentioned, but I think you can make a bash script and add that to the 'Startup Applications'. | 23:44 |
| DoctorTruth | usually I get a list of 3 different drivers to select from when I have an nvidia card OpenGL | 23:44 |
| OpenGL | DoctorTruth, in order to use the run file you will need a build environment set up... hassle... use pre compiled | 23:44 |
| DoctorTruth | OpenGL, | 23:44 |
| DoctorTruth | ok so nvidia-glx-185 | 23:44 |
| OpenGL | DoctorTruth, thats how mine works... however installing manually is the other method... | 23:44 |

| tomodach1 | vivian: what model is it_ | 23:52 |
| vivian | the configuration seems to be correct, the "start automatically" check box is checked and I even modified /etc/network/interfaces to auto wlan0 but still | 23:53 |
| almoxarife | fcuk112: no mention of anything besides ubuntu? | 23:53 |
| vivian | tomodach1: hold on I"ll check that | 23:53 |
| tomodach1 | vivian: lspci from the terminal should to the trick | 23:53 |
| paulsomebody | DoctorTruth: If this video card is brand new, this may be the novelty issue. Check Nvidia's forums for reports about similar problems. | 23:53 |
| fcuk112 | almoxarife, nope just linux image, initrd image and memtest86+ image | 23:53 |

| allballs | fyi: when I hit "displays" util, ... it's less than useful. Lets me go from 1024x768 to 800x600 (w00t!) -- clearly, a limitation of FB driver | 23:57 |
| fcuk112 | almoxarife, it is there. | 23:57 |

| hydester | tomodach1: perhaps we'll add a remote option to our iso to leverage the ssh method | 23:58 |
| vivian | tomodach1: updates happen every now and then as they are available through the "update manager" but I don't recall seeing major kernel updates | 23:58 |
| tomodach1 | sounds like a plan. Some more "expensive" servers | 23:58 |

| DoctorTruth | http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/198801 | 23:59 |
| tomodach1 | hydester: that allows you to access the framebuffer device, or gfx card even without an os. | 23:59 |
| DoctorTruth | looks like an aftermarket update for ubuntu just to get this dratted card to work | 23:59 |
