| metaspike | bonny_ search for "sun java ubuntu" on google, sun-java is no longer supported officially and is required for minecraft to run properly | 00:00 |
| CrownWheel | almostroot, I don't know what gvfs is. But, apparently, Thunar needs it. This paricular bug is old, I found it posted to (and ignored on) a Fedora 9 forum | 00:00 |
| bonny__ | i dont use ubuntu | 00:00 |
| metaspike | ... | 00:00 |
| bonny__ | but im on the channel because its most helpful | 00:00 |
| metaspike | the rolling stone gathers moss | 00:01 |
| wes | jimisrvrox2: Ah, I understand now. You are expecting grep to return just the matching part of the expression, but in fact, it returns the entire line | 00:01 |
| metaspike | what -are- you using bonny_? | 00:01 |
| wes | jimisrvrox2: an easy solution to this problem is to use sed on the result of your grep | 00:01 |
| bonny__ | jolicloud | 00:01 |
| wes | jimisrvrox2: roughly like this grep RE myfile | sed 's/^\(.*\)\(RE\)\(.*\)$/\2/' where RE is the regular expression you are looking for | 00:02 |
| almoxarife | CrownWheel: can you see if gvfs-fuse is installed? | 00:02 |
| CrownWheel | almostroot, oh...or is Thunar just failing to display my directory contents because it doesn't know how to deal with the corrupted .gvfs subdirectory? | 00:02 |
| CrownWheel | I'll check. | 00:02 |
| bonny__ | Ive installed an app to enable java | 00:02 |
| wes | jimisrvrox2: in fact, you can probably do something like this to avoid typing it twice: | 00:02 |
| bonny__ | which i really dont know if it works | 00:02 |
| pooltable | ok how do i reset the topt and bottom pannel in 11.10 trying to make it look like 11.04 | 00:02 |
| CrownWheel | Synaptic is taking its time.... | 00:03 |
| CrownWheel | almoxarife, yeah, gvfs-fuse is installed. | 00:04 |
| wes | jimisrvrox2: bash# RE="my regular expression"; grep "$RE" myfile | sed "s/^\(.*\)\($RE\)\(.*\)$/\2/" | 00:04 |
| metaspike | bonny_ can you open a terminal? | 00:04 |
| Kiten | anyone have experience with inspircd ? | 00:05 |
| almoxarife | CrownWheel: do you mount any external drives or see a need to do so? | 00:05 |
| bonny__ | yeah | 00:05 |
| bonny__ | im on it righ tnow | 00:05 |
| metaspike | apt-cache search sun-java | 00:05 |
| almoxarife | CrownWheel: by external I mean not on your own machine | 00:05 |
| CrownWheel | Yes. This is a Live install, running off USB. Is GVFS providing the FS in the "persistence" file? | 00:05 |
| Kiten | bonny_, with setting it up ? | 00:05 |
| CrownWheel | oh, no. no network drives. | 00:05 |
| bonny__ | yeah from installing java to playing minecraft | 00:06 |
| almoxarife | CrownWheel: it is, you do need gvfs on a live | 00:06 |
| CrownWheel | okay. | 00:06 |
| bonny__ | im on joli cloud it has terminal and everything but its a little different from ubuntu | 00:06 |
| Kiten | bonny_, but inspircd is irc | 00:07 |
| CrownWheel | So, it's not a Thunar issue. .gvfs isn't needed by Thunar. It's a GVFS *thing* | 00:07 |
| bonny__ | wat? | 00:07 |
| bonny__ | inspiircd? | 00:07 |
| bonny__ | wats that | 00:07 |
| almoxarife | CrownWheel: look in the .gvfs folder, in your home folder, what is shown? | 00:08 |
| Kiten | ahh nvm must have taken your answer as directed to me ;9 | 00:08 |
| jimisrvrox2 | wes: hate to ask this but i am pretty new to the RE and sed stuff so if you dont mind can you post an explination in a PM so I can copy/paste it into a text so I can better understand what this is actually doing.. | 00:08 |
| CrownWheel | I can't. even from the command line, it produces an "input output error" | 00:08 |
| CrownWheel | just ls -l .gvfs does | 00:09 |
| CrownWheel | oh, cd works. | 00:09 |
| jimisrvrox2 | wes: the grep stuff I posted I actually copied some of the text and changed it around and figured it out myself last night being that I have no internet at the house.. | 00:09 |
| metaspike | bonny_ if you've install the java addon, you need to restart your session after wards. | 00:09 |
| CrownWheel | right...because I "umout"ed .gvfs (following the old Fedora forum advice) | 00:09 |
| bonny__ | what does that mean , sorry im kidna new to this | 00:09 |
| matthewofencinit | I just installed xubuntu11.10 on my dell inspiron 6400, but wifi is not functioning. Any suggestions? | 00:09 |
| CrownWheel | after umount .gvfs, the permissions appeared "fixed" when viewed with ls -la | 00:10 |
| tnk1 | matthewofencinit, plug into a wired connection, and download the linux-modules-backports-wireless maybe | 00:10 |
| tnk1 | or whatever that package is closely named | 00:10 |
| metaspike | bonny, install the addon, restart your computer. if that doesnt work... yeah... it gets complicated. get the linux self extracting binary from java, run it and hope it doesnt munt your setup. | 00:10 |
| CrownWheel | okay, so I'm in /home/.gvfs. | 00:10 |
| bonny__ | Just tell me how to install it? | 00:10 |
| bonny__ | how i get it to work | 00:10 |
| CrownWheel | ls -la shows nothing there. | 00:10 |
| almoxarife | CrownWheel: I don't know fedora, and fedora is not ubuntu, I suggest you look at the helpful hints associated with ubuntu/your version/ and gvfs, :) | 00:10 |
| mongy | matthewofencinit, what is the output of lspci | grep Network | 00:11 |
| CrownWheel | yeah, yeah...only post I could find hitting "Thunar" and .gvfs. But now I know it's not actually a Thunar issue... | 00:11 |
| metaspike | bonny_ honestly, I thin you're in the wrong place... ask on #jolicloud or thier forum for answers. | 00:11 |
| tnk1 | matthewofencinit, i actually had the same issue with my computers running xub.. and it was getting the wireless backport modules in one that helped, and in the other, i realized the wifi card was just shot | 00:11 |
| bonny__ | metaspike | 00:12 |
| bonny__ | i been on jolicloud channel for 3 hours straight | 00:12 |
| CrownWheel | And the umount advice did what it was supposed to... | 00:12 |

| Raliegh | http://pastebin.com/pGarAjhE | 00:13 |
| sabocat | BCM4321 | 00:13 |
| mongy | sabocat, you need the STA driver then | 00:14 |
| mongy | sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 00:15 |
| sabocat | mongy: That driver works great for about 60 sec. then I get a kernel panic. | 00:15 |
| metaspike | mongy;s right. | 00:16 |
| bobby | hello world | 00:16 |
| bobby | where are banshee imported music file saved? | 00:16 |
| Raliegh | Nobody has any idea? Tux, are you still here? | 00:16 |
| sabocat | metaspike: That driver crashes my system | 00:16 |
| jimisrvrox2 | wes: you still around? | 00:16 |
| Tux | Yes | 00:16 |
| Raliegh | Have a few seconds to help me figure this out? | 00:16 |
| metaspike | eeh. | 00:17 |
| CrownWheel | almostroot, looks like the 2008 posters in that bug cross-pollinated the Fedora forum I ran across. So, if there was a bug fix release in Hardy (ubuntu 8.04.01), should I expect to already have it, courtesy of the GVFS package installed from the Ubuntu/Xubuntu repositories? | 00:17 |
| === seidos is now known as sunyata | ||
| mongy | sabocat, odd. it's supported. remove it and try installing the firmware-b43-installer | 00:18 |
| Tux | Raliegh, grep "linux-image" /var/log/dpkg.log? | 00:18 |
| almoxarife | Raliegh: sort of spelled out, you created a dependency with linux-image-generic, that would be the latest image, yet the latest image is not configured, perhaps you need to correct that first | 00:18 |
| Raliegh | Tux: for a recap, I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 11.04 on my server. Installed lxde and tightvncviewer. Trying to get Virtualbox installed and this is my output: http://pastebin.com/pGarAjhE | 00:18 |
| sabocat | mongy: I did that, and although with it my system sees wlan0 it doesn't see any wifi networks. | 00:18 |
| Tux | Raliegh, post your full dpkg session | 00:18 |
| Raliegh | http://pastebin.com/61uJMgWp | 00:18 |
| Raliegh | That's the output of that grep | 00:19 |
| Tux | okay. | 00:19 |
| dlitvak | hi there... im trying to install daily 12.04 | 00:19 |

| ssfdre38 | how can i move an 11GB file from my computer to my external HDD and cp doesnt work nor does drag and drop cause its saying the file is to large | 00:20 |
| Raliegh | Yessir. | 00:20 |
| Disori | Hey guys, so I just bought a webcame, iHome MyLife webcam and it works on cheese but I can't seem to get the built-in microphone working. ubuntu 11.10 | 00:21 |
| Disori | ssfdre38: Try compressing it, I suggest 7zip or some other format I can't remember. | 00:21 |
| dlitvak | anyone having this issue? | 00:21 |
| SEcki | ssfdre38, what is the exact error message? What is the filesystem on the external drive? | 00:21 |
| almoxarife | Raliegh: I have a wonderful thought, uninstall linux-image-generic, you stay at the current kernel you are at, and when you decide you want to update then you fix the dependency? | 00:21 |
| Disori | anyone know how to fix my problem? | 00:22 |
| Tux | Raliegh, try almoxarife's suggestion but afterwards update-grub | 00:22 |
| almoxarife | Disori: cheese makes sounf | 00:22 |
| Raliegh | almoxarife I'm not going to lie, all that was gibberish to me. I know nothing about kernels, nor why I'd have to uninstall anything, nor why I would have to update (or even what to update/how). | 00:22 |
| Raliegh | Sorry, I'm dead-stupid. Lol. | 00:22 |
| ssfdre38 | SEcki, its just saying File too large and its FAT32 for my work's computer | 00:23 |
| Disori | almoxarife : It has a build in microphone but it isnt working. I don't think Ubuntu KNOWS that it's both a camera and microphone | 00:23 |
| Tux | Raliegh, remove linux-image, forcefully remove the half-configured kernel package, run update-grub and leave the system as-is | 00:24 |
| Disori | ssfdre38 : Like I said, try compressing it. 7zip isn't the best format but I suggest you use it. | 00:24 |
| Raliegh | "apt-get autoremove linux-image"? | 00:24 |
| ssfdre38 | that is what im trying to do right now | 00:24 |
| mongy | ssfdre38, fat32 has a 4gb file limit | 00:24 |
| SEcki | ssfdre38, have a look at split, too | 00:24 |
| Tux | Raliegh, you'll want "remove" not "autoremove" | 00:24 |
| Disori | Raliegh : no autoremove, just remove | 00:25 |
| Raliegh | Don't forget this isn't a local machine Tux, it's a default installation for a server. | 00:25 |
| Raliegh | So will this disable my ability to log in via SSH? | 00:25 |
| Tux | No. | 00:25 |
| almoxarife | Raliegh: I find it hard to believe you don't know about kernels and stuff, you got the 'grep' thing down, you decide, use the kernel(that would be the thing that was running to give you that error(and it was working), or you fix the dependency, to not do a thing you do need to uninstall linux-image-generic | 00:25 |
| Tux | The openssh server remains installed | 00:25 |
| Raliegh | KK linux-image removed. How do I remove the "half-configured kernel package"? | 00:26 |
| SEcki | ssfdre38, man split - you can divide a file into little chunks | 00:26 |
| Raliegh | almoxarife, I really don't. I'm just following commands given here and on the wonderful spirit of Google. | 00:26 |
| Raliegh | Though I'm flattered. ;) | 00:26 |
| Disori | Guys, I may be overlooking something simple, but I'm pretty sure that Ubuntu doesn't recognise my webcam as a microphone/video device. Is there any easy way to make it so it does? | 00:26 |
| pooltable | ok have xfce working how to add apps to the bottom mac like thing also how to i change web browers to firefox ? | 00:26 |
| ssfdre38 | can i UBS link the 2 linux computers together to send the file from one computer to another? | 00:27 |
| almoxarife | Disori: the mic for the camera is actually a 'sound' configuration, done in sound preferences, find the hardware choice for the mic and click on it, that's gui though, some people rather get all cli and stuff | 00:27 |
| pooltable | also change to desktop to another image | 00:27 |
| galamar | .stats galamar | 00:27 |
| galamar | does that work in here? | 00:27 |
| metaspike | Disori, find it in alsamixer, although maybe pauvmixer... anyway. find capture device, enable it. | 00:28 |
| Raliegh | Tux: How do I remove the "half-configured kernel package"? I removed the linux-image. | 00:28 |

| Tux | Raliegh, I am not sure of the right --force- option to use but maybe --force-all will help | 00:29 |
| Raliegh | Tux: command not found. :o | 00:30 |
| Guest98821 | Hi, how can I configure Ubuntu in my VirtualBox so that it shows the Applications tab at the top? | 00:30 |
| almoxarife | Disori: you would on the normal gui system pick it from the hardware choices found in 'input device' in the 'sound preferences' gui gismo | 00:30 |
| metaspike | rschwab, you should install windows first, and leave space to install ubuntu on afterwards. | 00:30 |
| SEcki | I have an usb headset, it also does work. However, when using the gui, I can only chose between headset and normal sound on my laptop - can I have both on at the same time somehow? Can I control which program uses what? | 00:31 |

| Tux | Raliegh, pass it to dpkg | 00:31 |
| metaspike | Guest98821, not entirely sure, you might have to install guest addons. | 00:31 |
| metaspike | SEcki, you can with ~/.asoundrc , or with jack | 00:32 |

| Veovis_Muaddib | I took the Ubuntu 11.10 x64 iso, used both UNetbootin and Universal USB Installer to put it on a flash drive (With same results), and tried to install on my ASUS Eee PC 1215b. Options when booting were default, which told me to insert bootable media, and UEFI, which brought up GRUB2, and both options in GRUB2 (Try and install) blanked out the screen, made the flash drive flash the "ejected" light, and then shut down the computer | 00:33 |
| Disori | Problem, when I record, I get a ton of noises and really high pitched squeals | 00:33 |
| metaspike | m15k, how did you install it? grub-install /dev/sda ? | 00:33 |
| m15k | mounted boot partition | 00:33 |
| almoxarife | Disori: that would be 'feedback' usually means your speakers and mic are too close | 00:34 |
| m15k | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 00:34 |
| Disori | almoxarife: damn, how far away do they need to be? it'll be a little hard moving my camera.. | 00:35 |
| almoxarife | Disori: lower the mic gain | 00:35 |
| m15k | metaspike, strange thing is that ls (hd0,msdos1)/ also result in unknown filesystem | 00:35 |
| bonny__ | Metaspike, thanks for the help i guess, i figured out a way to launch it | 00:35 |
| Disori | almo, I'm not exactly sure what that is. | 00:35 |
| bonny__ | i just installed minecraft.jar and on terminal i typed | 00:36 |
| bonny__ | java -jar minecraft.jar | 00:36 |
| bonny__ | and it started up :) | 00:36 |
| almoxarife | Disori: the slider associated with the mic, lower the value | 00:36 |
| Disori | almoxarife: i get it really quiet but my voice is as quiet too. | 00:37 |
| metaspike | sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/dev/sda1 /dev/sda - for instance. sda1 is boot partition, sda is the drive. | 00:38 |
| Disori | almoxarife: I'm stupid, it doesnt even get my voice. only the annoying sound of whatever.. | 00:38 |

| metaspike | aBound, chur | 00:46 |
| aBound | Gnea, Nothing much yesterday just had issues with 10.04 and the nvidia driver fixed now. Minus the aspect of my graphical boot splash somewhat not displaying properly. | 00:46 |
| m15k | metaspike, I mounted the drive and typed in command | 00:46 |

| spanky | is there something i can do, like restore factory default? | 00:47 |
| Gnea | Warp4: yes | 00:47 |

| chris12 | Which utility do I need to do this? | 00:47 |
| spanky | on netbook ubuntu | 00:47 |
| chris12 | also, I'm running a crappy power pc imac g4 | 00:47 |
| aBound | Gnea, Boot arguments? | 00:47 |
| Warp4 | Gnea, got a place with instructions i can use to get that set up? | 00:47 |
| aBound | Gnea, I think there is a known problem with the graphical boot splash messing up with the nvidia drivers. | 00:48 |
| m15k | metaspike, ok so I'm back on live cd | 00:48 |
| Gnea | aBound: yes, when the system boots up, the kernel can be told to perform certain functions via the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file | 00:48 |
| Gnea | aBound: well, I use nvidia graphics and only had that issue a few times | 00:49 |
| aBound | Gnea, Ugh I hate messing with that grub file every time I do something messes up. HA! | 00:49 |
| aBound | Gnea, Does the boot splash show properly for you? | 00:49 |
| Gnea | !dialup | Warp4 | 00:50 |
| ubottu | Warp4: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 00:50 |

| chris12 | I'm trying to create an x86 bootable usb drive from my powerpc imac g4 | 00:54 |
| chris12 | what utility do I need to make this possible(if it even exists) | 00:54 |
| metaspike | otherwise, seriously. just dont have seperate boot parition, it's a pain in the ... | 00:54 |
| Gnea | chris12: usb-creator-gtk or unetbootin | 00:55 |
| chris12 | thanks | 00:55 |
| Gnea | aBound: if I may ask, what method did you use to install the nvidia drivers? | 00:56 |
| aBound | Gnea, I had to grab the nvidia driver through a PPA. From the website I posted above. | 00:56 |
| maheanuu | I just recovered from a system lock up and upon rebooting my external usb drive is now telling me that it is read only.. I am using 10.10 | 00:57 |
| aBound | Gnea, It fixed my screen resolution but my boot splash looks like it only appears for about 5 secs and it does look like an ugly resolution is set for it. | 00:57 |
| metaspike | wow. 11.10 is the default download version?! madness. | 00:59 |
| maheanuu | I locked up while copying a file to a usb key...... The key had nothing on it as all the old information had either been stored or deleted | 00:59 |
| aBound | metaspike, HA! the bleeding edge release. | 00:59 |
| Gnea | aBound: that's one heck of a fix, you could try it, but it's certainly not anything 'official' that I've seen before, so I can't say how well it'll work... from what I can tell, it just manipulates the /etc/default/grub file | 01:00 |
| aBound | Gnea, I know what you mean it's a hit or miss script. | 01:00 |
| chris12 | Gnea: I was not able to run either of those programs, as I am on a Power PC-based mac, not intel. I am trying to create the usb drive for an x86 machine which I do not have administrator privileges on nor can I run any foreign executables. | 01:00 |
| Gnea | aBound: it looks like it would do the trick, though | 01:01 |
| Gnea | chris12: are you able to run a virtual machine? | 01:01 |
| aBound | Gnea, Only downside is when I was using 11.10 and editing grub files it pretty much sent my login screen to the shack. | 01:02 |
| aBound | Gnea, Can't say if it's the same. | 01:02 |
| m15k | metaspike, grub2 seems to work thanks. But boot to ubuntu is not possible: "cannot read the Linux header" | 01:02 |
| aBound | With 10.04.3 lts. | 01:02 |
| Gnea | aBound: I've stuck with LTS since 10.04, haven't regretted it | 01:02 |
| chris12 | Gnea: on the computer for which I want to make the bootable? no. The only computer I have access to at this time is the crappy power pc imac g4. | 01:03 |
| aBound | Gnea, I feel you I switched and I can feel the stability over the other version. | 01:03 |
| Gnea | chris12: no, the g4. can you run virtualbox on it and install a minimal x86 ubuntu installation? | 01:03 |
| metaspike | m15k, unless you want to learn the symantics of linux initilization, i suggest a fresh install, no boot partition. | 01:04 |
| aBound | Gnea, Just to show how unstable 11.10 is I couldn't even change a basic keyboard shortcut for my terminal. | 01:04 |
| Gnea | aBound: ouch | 01:04 |
| chris12 | Gnea: Oh, I guess I could try that. So basically, just try to run ubuntu on the mac, then download the linux utility for making a bootable usb? | 01:04 |
| Veovis_Muaddib | Does anyone have an idea why on my UEFI laptop, GRUB2 loads off the Ubuntu installation disk, but all boot options lead to the USB drive going idle and then the machine shutting down? | 01:04 |
| Gnea | chris12: exactly, and make the usb port available to the virtual instance of ubuntu | 01:04 |
| metaspike | chris12, is there a command called "usbmount?" | 01:05 |
| === mgodzilla_rests is now known as mgodzilla | ||
| chris12 | Gnea: thanks for the idea. I think that should work. | 01:05 |
| Gnea | chris12: I have no idea if it will, so I am interested to see how well it will work | 01:06 |
| m15k | metaspike, the problem is that i don't want to touch the win7 env, because its not possible to evert these changes | 01:06 |
| aBound | Damn, I'll be spending months on end trying to configure Ubuntu. | 01:06 |
| chris12 | metaspike: no there is no usbmount command from terminal. | 01:06 |
| chris12 | Gnea: well, I'll give it a try and I'll let you know if it does. better than searching google endlessly with no avail. | 01:06 |
| Gnea | aBound: don't feel too bad, I spent a year ripping redhat and slackware apart, reinstalling both at least 20 times before I stopped installing for a couple years | 01:06 |
| metaspike | m15k, if you install on a seperate parition, the grub chainloader should work (for 10.04 anyway), if windoze is on a seperate drive you could just disconnect it, and use bios to select... | 01:07 |
| aBound | Gnea, I think I reinstalled Ubuntu about 10 times already. | 01:07 |
| aBound | ha | 01:07 |
| metaspike | chris12... is this an old mac? | 01:07 |
| chris12 | yes | 01:08 |
| chris12 | powerpc imac g4 lol | 01:08 |
| metaspike | like. powerpc ? awesome! does ubuntu actually have an arcitecture release for powerpc anymore? | 01:08 |
| Gnea | aBound: good, then you're on your way to truly understanding it lol | 01:08 |
| metaspike | or are you just using i386 or such. | 01:08 |
| aBound | Gnea, That's the downside with Linux it still requires the terminal. For new users they might get so frustrated that they'll just move to another OS. | 01:08 |
| Gnea | !ppc | 01:08 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 01:08 |
| chris12 | metaspike: I'm at my grandparent's house so I don't have my desktop pc and I am going to be here for a while so I ant to run linux on the hotel computer | 01:08 |
| aBound | Gnea, haha | 01:09 |
| skraps | help free the panel boycott now - https://www.facebook.com/Boycottcpanel | 01:09 |
| chris12 | metaspike: i don't really want to use ubuntu on this computer, just the hotel one haha | 01:09 |
| aBound | Gnea, I used it about 7 to 8 years ago I just forgot how to work everything. | 01:09 |
| Gnea | aBound: I don't see that as a downside | 01:09 |
| metaspike | ah ok cool, I though only debian still supported it. cool. i dunno, use a usbdisk :) | 01:09 |
| trojanking | hi | 01:10 |
| aBound | Gnea, Being experienced it won't be a downside but for a newcomer like me getting back into it. I have to continuously ask for help. lol. | 01:10 |
| chris12 | well, worst case I may pay some unsuspecting hotel stranger with a laptop $5 if I can use their pc to install the boot drive... | 01:10 |
| Gnea | aBound: although, once I got a better GUI going and understood that the kernel, terminal and GUI stood apart from each other and what it was that binded them together, it became easier to solve problems | 01:11 |
| trojanking | how can i get email extractor that extract emails from clipboard or file any idea pls for ubuntu? | 01:11 |
| Gnea | aBound: well, you're on the right path. asking for help is never a bad thing. are you familiar with ubuntuforums.org? | 01:11 |
| aBound | Gnea, still using gnome 2 or gnome-shell? | 01:11 |
| maheanuu | Can anyone tell me what would make an external usb drive suddenly become read only??? | 01:12 |
| Gnea | aBound: I went Enlightenment years ago :) use netbook-remix on this netbook | 01:12 |
| aBound | Gnea, Yes I tried the ubuntuforums but the thing I dislike is waiting for an answer compared to being in here getting a speedier answer to a question. | 01:12 |
| metaspike | trojanking, grep, cat, if its encoded, just import with its host or export to a readable format | 01:12 |
| Gnea | aBound: some people in here are on ubuntuforums.org and vice versa | 01:12 |
| fbdystang | Hi, I am trying to install kubuntu 8.10 but the livecd freezes after "starting ubiquity..." How should I go about fixing this? Is there a boot option that will allow it to install? Thanks | 01:13 |
| trojanking | metaspike, dont know what is grep cat sorry am new | 01:13 |
| metaspike | grep /my/email :0 | 01:13 |
| wes | does the synaptic package manager look at a different database than apt-get? I am trying to remove flash, apt-get lets me purge it okay, but it still shows up in synaptic | 01:14 |
| aBound | Gnea, Understood. | 01:14 |
| trojanking | should i type that in terminal? | 01:14 |
| Gnea | wes: no, it uses the same db | 01:14 |
| aBound | I agree with those that dislike Unity I don't like how it hides certain aspects of the GUI. | 01:14 |
| chris12 | trojanking: cat pretty much displays the contents of a file | 01:14 |
| Gnea | wes: make sure you're running synaptic with privelages and that it's going a proper db sync | 01:15 |
| metaspike | wes, dpkg-query -l | grep flash - query dpkg (what handles all packages) and search for "flash" - in terminal. | 01:15 |
| chris12 | trojanking: grep is a pattern recognition command | 01:15 |
| chris12 | !grep | 01:15 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 01:15 |
| trojanking | i know the content, of the file, but email@mail.com Joe Blog | 01:15 |
| trojanking | i want to remove only emails bcos the list is long | 01:16 |
| trojanking | and its a text file | 01:16 |
| Gnea | aBound: I don't have anything positive to say about the mentality of those that wrote it, so I tend to just not say anything and not use it at all :-) | 01:16 |
| chris12 | oh give me 1 sec I don't use the commands often, but I'll look it up really quick | 01:16 |
| fbdystang | Am I asking this in the wrong place? | 01:16 |
| trojanking | I have a large list containing name and email in a text file and i need a software or a tool to extract all email addresses from the text file... Pls help | 01:17 |
| aBound | Gnea, Whatever works philosophy. :P | 01:17 |
| metaspike | fbdystang, that version is really outdated, get a 10.04 kubuntu release for greater satisfaction | 01:17 |
| Brandon | hey all!! | 01:18 |
| Gnea | aBound: they did put a lot of time and effort into it, though, and just like gnome it has potential | 01:18 |
| wes | metaspike: Thanks. Do you know how I can learn how to interpret the first two columns of the dpkg list output? man page doesn't seem to be helpful | 01:18 |
| aBound | Gnea, Eventually we'll have to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu when they stop supporting the LTS for 10.04. | 01:18 |
| trojanking | I have a large list containing name and email in a text file and i need a software or a tool to extract all email addresses from the text file... Pls help | 01:18 |
| Brandon | Someone willing to help out a newbie who is desperate! | 01:18 |
| m15k | metaspike, I did a little research and found out that the vmzlinuz file is empty in my boot directory | 01:18 |
| aBound | Gnea, Indeed from what somebody told me forgot his/her name said they were using 12.04 Alpha and Unity was better. | 01:19 |
| m15k | might this be the problem? | 01:19 |
| metaspike | wes, they are "dpkg flags" | 01:19 |
| Gnea | aBound: but we can always choose something other than Unity or Gnome ;) that choice will never go away | 01:19 |
| fbdystang | metaspike: thanks but it has to be 8.10 for linuxmce, I just don't know why it hangs | 01:20 |
| Brandon | i think i may have messed up my pc :/ | 01:20 |
| aBound | Gnea, Agree but Ubuntu seems like Unity is becoming more and more integrated into Ubuntu as the standard. Let's just hope Ubuntu doesn't become like you know whom. | 01:20 |
| ssfdre38 | for some reason or somehow i have Gnome and Unity to work side by side | 01:20 |
| Gnea | aBound: yeah, it would be a shame for the GUI to destroy the basic idea of Ubuntu | 01:21 |
| mmoebius | !ask|Brandon | 01:21 |
| ubottu | Brandon: 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 | 01:21 |
| Gnea | aBound: did you give that script a whirl yet? | 01:22 |
| metaspike | fbdystang, neither do I, but I can tell you that it isn't supported anymore | 01:22 |
| mmoebius | aBound: If you are afraid of unity in ubuntu, consider MINT | 01:22 |
| gridbag | i really hate the iconbar on the left, where it keeps coming in and out of view. what are others doing with that? | 01:23 |
| wes | metaspike: perfect, found the info I need. My flash player plugin is in rF state. Probably related to the ENOENT during the script, making the dir it wants and trying again | 01:23 |
| Gnea | mmoebius: are unity coders afraid of other WMs in ubuntu? | 01:23 |
| wes | flash *installer*, that is | 01:23 |
| wes | geez, adobe, c'mon! | 01:23 |
| ssfdre38 | gridbag, that happens when you have a full screen | 01:23 |
| trojanking | I have a large list containing name and email in a text file and i need a software or a tool to extract all email addresses from the text file... Pls help | 01:23 |
| metaspike | ah... i rekon | 01:23 |
| Brandon | haha ok well i dual installed 10.4 last night on my pc and i deleted the old partition that my previous linux distro was on. now when i try to turn on my computer i get a grub error saying it can't locate the filesystem. anyways i don't know anything much about that kind of thing. i'm using the live cd right now. can anyone help | 01:23 |
| aBound | mmoebius, Unity isn't much of an issue for me except for when it's on 11.10. | 01:23 |
| aBound | Gnea, Not yet probably will do it later in the day. | 01:24 |
| metaspike | trojanking, i will find a method if you wait patiently :) | 01:24 |
| Gnea | aBound: okay | 01:24 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest52208 | ||
| mmoebius | Gnea: I don't know, but the unity UI is not what I preffer (hence I am on Xubuntu) ... also, I consifer all of th newer UIs like KDE, Gnome3 and Unity a waste of resources. But Ubuntu is also about look and feel for the masses .... whatever they please | 01:24 |
| trojanking | metaspike lovely thanks | 01:25 |
| aBound | Gnea, reason why I might destroy something. lol | 01:25 |
| wes | *grumble* - can I tell dpkg to just forget a package? I don't really need the 180kb of disk space, I need the package repository in a sane state! :) | 01:25 |
| mmoebius | I think, the distrowatch graphs discover what people use; "vote with your feet" (by going somewhere else) | 01:26 |
| Gnea | mmoebius: I agree wholeheartedly. I like the base Ubuntu system, I prefer the Enlightenment (E17) window manager. I prefer having the choice to modify it so that it suits my purposes, but I also like how it's "for the masses". | 01:26 |
| ssfdre38 | wes, then do apt-get autoremove | 01:26 |
| ssfdre38 | also apt-get purge | 01:26 |
| metaspike | trojanking, i hope you arent using this for spambotting or some crud | 01:26 |
| mmoebius | Gnea: Is there aspecial distro that incorporates enlightement ? | 01:26 |
| Gnea | mmoebius: but sometimes my vision of what "for the masses" means is different than someone elses interpretation | 01:27 |
| Gnea | mmoebius: yes, elivecd, it's debian-based | 01:27 |

| airman00 | Gnea: thanks! gonna try that now :D | 01:31 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: Unmount the stick, fsck it and then remount | 01:31 |

| Crowley2 | @blocky: The live-system is usually a pretty good prediction what will work and what not. Funny enough it didn't work in Your case :-((( | 01:48 |

| hiexpo | !spam | GoMittGo | 01:50 |
| metaspike | ubuntu alternative install lets you choose your DE, but it is such that gnome has moved on. | 01:50 |
| radon- | well I use gnome-shell and it's pretty much usable but I liked the classic gnome more | 01:51 |

| scientes | whats that piece of software that makes multi-server stuff easier? | 01:51 |
| Crowley2 | I am back to Debian Squeeze. Will I be banned???!!! | 01:51 |
| scientes | that deploys virtual machines? | 01:51 |
| scientes | Crowley2, wheezy is out | 01:51 |
| Crowley2 | Oh. | 01:52 |
| scientes | oh wait, no it isn'y | 01:52 |
| maheanuu | mmoebius, it looks like the 500gig external is working normally now, as I stuck in another pendrive and it now writes to it but the original that was being written to is now telling me that it is read only | 01:52 |
| szal | Crowley2: you can use whatever you wish as long as you (1) don't talk about it here, and (2) don | 01:52 |
| scientes | sry | 01:52 |
| metaspike | Crowley2, im a wheezer, but idoubt ppl mind me helpin out here where i can | 01:52 |
| szal | 't brag about how bad *buntu is | 01:52 |
| Crowley2 | Haha, yes. | 01:52 |
| hiexpo | gridbag, it was at least in 10.04 not sure now but probably so | 01:52 |

| scientes | Crowley2, in my experience ubuntu produces a more stable core platform, while in debian it is easier to get development version of server software and more recent version of that software | 01:53 |
| nvz | haha | 01:53 |
| scientes | however, that if you use sid in ubuntu sparinglingly it is likely to work | 01:53 |
| nvz | you're seriously confused | 01:53 |
| scientes | what is that ubuntu software that multiplexes server stuff | 01:54 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: I hope you don't swap the drives without unmounting them properly before swapping them ? | 01:54 |
| scientes | like databases and wordpress and the like with virtual machine creation and such | 01:54 |
| metaspike | scientes, xen | 01:54 |
| scientes | metaspike, nonono | 01:55 |
| scientes | it creates the virtual machine image files | 01:55 |
| metaspike | qmeu | 01:55 |
| scientes | nono | 01:55 |
| maheanuu | mmoebius, No I don't, if it is removed I do it safely or unmount them the hard disks are all unmounted as they are all running NTFS | 01:55 |
| mmoebius | Crowley2: There are 3 flavors of Debian: outdated, stale and broken | 01:55 |
| scientes | there was an earlier product--you could tell it what packages | 01:55 |
| scientes | and this is a newer version that has alot more features | 01:55 |
| scientes | and metaspike, that would be virt-manager for end-users these days | 01:56 |
| scientes | with kvm-qemu | 01:56 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: That's good. Because otherwise your "read-only" problems would be very explainable. | 01:56 |
| metaspike | ah | 01:56 |
| scientes | but thats not what I want---this is canonical developed software | 01:56 |
| scientes | basically a big extention to debootstrap | 01:56 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: You could look into the last lines of dmesg with 'dmesg | tail' after you attach a device and find it to be read-only. | 01:56 |
| metaspike | maheanuu, you can edit mount mode in /etc/fstab. if a filesystem needs to be fsck'd it wont mount in rw | 01:56 |
| szal | does anyone have installed Windows (in particular Win7) after *buntu and can tell me something about how you repaired the Grub? (and no, I don't want the !grub factoid, I want a 1st-hand experience account ;)) | 01:57 |
| metaspike | szal, yeah, from ubuntu live. sudo grub-install /dev/sda - fix | 01:57 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: Also, if you are sure that the filesystem should be r/w because it is clean, hardware OK etc. you could try 'mount -o remount,rw /path/to/mountpoint' | 01:57 |
| Crowley2 | Somehow I think debian squeeze is the best for now... ans "lucid " deserved it's name :-) | 01:58 |
| szal | metaspike: no problem booting Win thereafter? | 01:58 |
| metaspike | szal, i was probably lucky but, it handled everything for me | 01:58 |
| metaspike | szal, otherwise if you really want, you can select drive with bios | 01:58 |
| Crowley2 | ISorry, no M$ on my system. | 01:58 |
| scientes | metaspike: https://juju.ubuntu.com/ | 01:58 |
| szal | metaspike: ok, then I should be able to do that by booting into *buntu using a Super GRUB2 Disk & have no problems | 01:59 |
| maheanuu | mmoebius, metaspike, What happened was I was copying an old movie over from my hard disk to a pen drive for the grandkids and I locked up and had to do a hard shutdown as everything was locked, when I came back up the hard drive wouldn't let me copy anything to anywhere | 01:59 |
| maheanuu | I didn't try to copy to another pen drive until I did the fsck | 02:00 |
| metaspike | maheanuu, frome that system can you - sudo touch /forcefsck ? (force fsck check on boot) | 02:01 |
| metaspike | ah | 02:01 |
| maheanuu | on my pen drives I either do a safe removal or a eject | 02:01 |
| === sly is now known as Guest42616 | ||
| metaspike | sounds bogus to me, maybe under /etc/fstab the options arent rw instead ro but.. duno. | 02:02 |
| maheanuu | metaspike, none of my external hard disks are set up as boot drives they are all single partition used for storage and backup only | 02:03 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: Is you trouble over, now ? | 02:03 |
| maheanuu | I only had this happen to the WD 500gig drive that I have been using... I fill them up and then set them aside they are my archives | 02:04 |
| maheanuu | Looks like it other than the 8 gig pen drive is read only now... all the other things are working | 02:05 |
| s7evens | test | 02:05 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: After you did the fsck, you will then have to remount the volume. try it. btw, did the fsck.vfat on /dev/sdb1 work ? | 02:05 |
| maheanuu | mmoebius, how do I clear the RO on the pen drive, the 500gig is running normally | 02:06 |
| maheanuu | mmoebius, I followed your advice to the letter and then remounted and tested the HD it is working perfectly, it is only the original 8 gig pen drive that is hung RO now | 02:07 |
| maheanuu | mmoebius, /dev/sdb is fine now | 02:08 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: Which device is the pen drive and which filesystem type ? | 02:08 |
| michalchik | Hello | 02:09 |
| maheanuu | mmoebius, on the 8 gig pen drive it is a dos file system not set up for boot I use it for the grand kids stuff, beats CD's DVD's and peanut butter and jelly | 02:09 |
| michalchik | Is this the right place for a rank beginner with lots of stupid questions? | 02:09 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: No, not the contents but the /dev/sd*** device name of the pen drive , please ? | 02:10 |
| maheanuu | mmoebius, I am digging for that now | 02:11 |
| mmoebius | michalchik: Usually, it's not the questions that are stupid but the answers. If you can take the latter, go ahead | 02:11 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: look at the output of 'mount' (in a terminal) | 02:11 |
| colton_ | how do I access an administrator file through the terminal? | 02:11 |
| mmoebius | colton_ prepend 'sudo' to whatever command you want to run on your file | 02:12 |
| metaspike | colton_, sudo geany /filename <press tab for auto completion> | 02:12 |

| Surefire | Hello | 02:14 |
| Surefire | I was hoping to get some assistance in regards to Ubuntu installation | 02:15 |
| mmoebius | zamba: 12.04 in april 2012 should become lts again. Then, It may be time to move, if you are missing any features. | 02:15 |
| maheanuu | mmoebius, it is a W95 FAT32 and is showing as /dev/sdf1 | 02:15 |
| michalchik | if is type sudo apt-get install weechat will that install it or do I have to do something else like find it on some website? | 02:15 |
| ssfdre38 | like what Surefire | 02:15 |
| Surefire | So I downloaded the 32 bit iso | 02:15 |
| Surefire | Created a bootable disc | 02:15 |
| ssfdre38 | ok and? | 02:15 |
| Surefire | Rearranged the bios to cd drive first | 02:15 |
| Surefire | but now i'm stuck at a black screen | 02:16 |
| overdub | michaelni: first do apt-cache search yourapp for the correct version | 02:16 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: Well, then unmount it on the terminal with 'umount /dev/sdf1' and provided that works ok, run 'fsck.vfat /dev/sdf1' . If that works ok, too, unplug and re-plug the USB-drive | 02:16 |

| iceroot | michalchik: you can find the exact name for of the program/package with "apt-cache search searchstring" | 02:17 |
| Surefire | i typically use macs and i'm pretty confident that my disc was properly burned | 02:17 |
| michalchik | iceroot does that only work if the fileis on your computer or does that automatically searchthe net? | 02:18 |
| iceroot | michalchik: its all in the net | 02:18 |
| iceroot | !repos | michalchik | 02:18 |

| Tux | hi | 02:20 |
| bbrelin | Anybody else have this problem? | 02:20 |

| mmoebius | Surefire: In that boot menu, there are some options (on the very rightmost options menu) ou can add to the Kenel commnad line in oder to enable more "compatible" settings | 02:20 |
| bbrelin | It seems to be Toshiba specific, but I'm not a hundred per cent sure of that. | 02:20 |
| michalchik | Thanks, i am begining to see how it works | 02:20 |
| boxbeatsy | also, when i boot into windows both wirleess/and wired works so i'm pretty sure the card itself is functional | 02:21 |
| mmoebius | maheanuu: You got it ! | 02:21 |
| boxbeatsy | i just don't know where to start with debugging/finding out what driver i need | 02:21 |
| Surefire | mmoebius: i hit install and now i'm stuck at a black screen | 02:21 |
| bbrelin | Anybody? | 02:21 |
| Surefire | should i wait for a few minutes | 02:21 |
| iceroot | michalchik: so normally you are only using the repos, dont download software directly from websites just use apt-get or the software-center | 02:21 |
| mmoebius | Surefire: You got the boot menu ? | 02:22 |
| joshlegs | hmmm. what DVD player actually works ? :S | 02:22 |
| mmoebius | Surefire: Then, *before* you go to "install" you should enable some boot options. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common_Kernel_Options | 02:23 |

| psusi | hopstafarian, floppy is not dvd | 02:45 |
| knightrage | hey guys... i've got a question. if i write to /proc/<pid>/mem, is that effectively writing to the process's memory that it allocates? ie, if i have a process that does a malloc(), and i edit the /proc/pid/mem, will any access to that memory address within that process use the new data i wrote? sorry if i'm completely way off base here. | 02:45 |
| hopstafarian | psusi, that's what i was thinking...should test by umount'ing, and force cdrom0 with an iso9660 type ? | 02:46 |
| bandit22 | actually delete all of a specific file type from a folder | 02:47 |
| psusi | hopstafarian, test what? if you have the floppy mounted, then you have a floppy, not a dvd, mounted | 02:47 |
| mmoebius | gnarr: I was wrong about the "percentages" ... true is: There will be two columns of "WORST" and "THRESH" ... as long as the "WORST" value is a fair bit away from "THRESH", your drive should be ok. | 02:48 |

| mmoebius | hopstafarian: If you see audio/video TS-Files, the drive works ok and is reading your disk. Maybe your application is not really looking for the drive where it was mounted ? | 02:50 |
| hopstafarian | mmoebius, meaning wine is not mapped properly? | 02:50 |
| ssfdre38 | hey how can i change Apache/2.2.20 (Ubuntu) Server at source.ssfdre38.com Port 80 at the bottom of source.ssfdre38.com | 02:51 |
| mmoebius | hopstafarian: Admittedly, mounting a DVD on /media/floppy (assumed) is a bit weird, but there is no default in Linux for where to mount what | 02:51 |
| mmoebius | hopstafarian: Wine can be misconfigured. Why not ? | 02:51 |
| marz | I can't connect to the Internet using Ubuntu via a mobile broadband | 02:51 |
| mmoebius | hopstafarian: run 'winecfg' Section "Drives" :-) | 02:52 |
| hopstafarian | psusi, if i navigate to /media/floppy...i can see and access the audio/video TS files...in ubuntu...but no other dirs. in the /media folder, and wine doesn't detect and cd/dvd drives | 02:53 |
| mmoebius | hopstafarian: I hope, your windows app does not request direct access to the underlying hardware like e.g. a DVD-Recorder tool would | 02:53 |
| hopstafarian | mmoebius, i have already run this same app on my machines, and when setting the os for that app in wine to win nt4...detects the drive just fine..so maybe the mapping? | 02:54 |
| psusi | hopstafarian, what does mount or df say is in /media/floppy? | 02:54 |
| marz | can anyone help me with configuring Ubuntu to connect to the Internet via a mobile broadband | 02:54 |

| sumosu | joshlegs: do other movie dvds work? | 02:57 |
| psusi | hopstafarian, you misconfigured your /etc/fstab then | 02:59 |
| psusi | hopstafarian, it shoulnd't be referencing any specific devices like that... need to remove that line | 02:59 |
| hopstafarian | psusi, nobody touched it...that was already in there... | 02:59 |
| psusi | hopstafarian, someone did... the only entry in there in a default install should be for the internal hard drive, and refering to that using the UUID | 03:00 |
| ssfdre38 | joshlegs, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:00 |
| hopstafarian | psusi, i did remove that line, and then it did show up in /media as DVDRom or DVDDrive.... | 03:00 |
| hopstafarian | psusi, but wine still wouldn't pick it up... | 03:00 |
| joshlegs | sumosu no another dvd i tried didn't work. i'm trying ssfdre38 's suggestion now. forgot to do that after my most recent ubuntu install :P | 03:02 |

| subb1 | I use Ubuntu 10.04, radeon 4350 256M card, 1G ram. I have not installed the amd proprietary driver or fglrx driver, but still able to play hd videos. How can I know which driver my system is currently using? | 03:23 |
| edbian | subb1, fglrx is the proprietary driver | 03:23 |
| edbian | subb1, switch by installing the package 'fglrx' and uninstalling the package 'xorg-server-video-ati' | 03:24 |
| edbian | subb1, I think that's the name of the second one... | 03:24 |
| edbian | you could search it | 03:24 |
| subb1 | edbian: thats the funny part. When i install fglrx, the hd video play is buggy and flickering !!! | 03:25 |
| adfjsafjasafdsf | aah, so many people quit | 03:25 |
| subb1 | edbian: so i guess my system is using just 'xorg-server-video-ati' driver for graphics ? | 03:26 |
| szal | subb1: lspci -vv | 03:26 |
| edbian | subb1, It's called radeon (yes run sudo lspci -k ) | 03:27 |

| subb1 | edbian: http://pastebin.com/VtuzJCHh | 03:29 |
| subb1 | edbian: I see the section 'VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies' and it says ---- Kernel driver in use: radeon | 03:31 |
| ssfdre38 | is there a apt list i can get? | 03:31 |
| edbian | subb1, Yeah, ur using the open source radon | 03:31 |
| edbian | radeon* | 03:31 |
| subb1 | edbian: okay. is this the driver maintained by the Ubuntu team for radeon cards? | 03:32 |

| subb1 | edbian: i am asking because, if its not fglrx or the driver from ati site, then how do i upgrade this current driver? ok. thanks for the radeon channel info :) | 03:33 |
| gridbag | i can't believe evolution & thunderbird and banshee are part of the default distro, but ccsm is not. I blew thru much of this month's bandwidth today because I had to reinstall/download 247 packages over and over again.l | 03:33 |
| === atc3030 is now known as atc3030|sleep | ||
| edbian | subb1, that driver is 'up do date' | 03:34 |
| greedo | also I can't seem to login to launchpad.net | 03:34 |
| edbian | subb1, if you want fglrx (which is the same driver that's on the ati site I prom) then just install that package | 03:35 |
| gridbag | "Disable Animations" is awesome too. The system appears much quicker without all those extra animation delays. | 03:35 |
| greedo | I keep getting "Your page was stale." | 03:35 |
| edbian | subb1, However, the fglrx on the site might be slightly newer (and have slightly more bugs) than the fglrx in the ubuntu repos | 03:35 |
| aBound | gridbag, I prefer thunderbird. :P | 03:35 |
| edbian | subb1, I prefer radeon myself | 03:35 |
| edbian | subb1, fglrx gives better performance I think (especially when you do multi-core programming) | 03:35 |
| gridbag | aBound, yeah, but you don't need 2, which is what you get when you install, then update. | 03:35 |
| edbian | subb1, but radeon is more stable on linux | 03:35 |

I'm used to Fedora and have tried the acpi_backlight=vendor and acpi_osi=Linux fix that is usually required by it. Before I put that in, any attempt to change backlight would freeze the computer, now I can change it fine from the control panel but the Fn hotkeys always set the backlight to it's lowest setting (off).All | 04:18 |
| UbuntuNuebie | other hotkeys and acpi settings work fine. It's an intel mobile 4 VGA controller and some intel mb not sure which. Any common ubuntu fixes I might have missed? | 04:18 |
| aBound | Hey does anybody know if gnome-shell is stable enough compared to unity? | 04:18 |
| === blocky_ is now known as blocky | ||
| UbuntuNuebie | I know gnome-shell is really stable on fedora, I'm not sure about ubuntu as I havn't tried it. | 04:19 |
| UbuntuNuebie | I honestly prefer it. | 04:19 |
| Charybdis | I tried, but I just couldn't use Gnome Shell. | 04:19 |
| aBound | Seeing as unity is unstable at the moment figures if it'll make 11.10 stable enough as a gui. | 04:20 |
| Charybdis | I'm not talking smack about it, but until they work out some more kinks, I'll stay with XFCE. | 04:20 |
| felipe_Brz | my pc is heating up a little more strongly than usual... could it be because I have many instances of chrome open, each with many tabs open? | 04:20 |
| aBound | Amazes I switch to 10.04 and Firefox 9.0.1 constantly crashes on download links and I use 11.10 and unity goes crazy. | 04:21 |
| blocky | of the two new ones, I prefer gnome-shell | 04:21 |
| motocoder | Hello all | 04:21 |
| UbuntuNuebie | felipe more cpu usage = more heat | 04:21 |
| motocoder | felipe_Brz: Check if you have any Flash running in any of those chrome windows | 04:21 |
| motocoder | Flash is a big fat pig that consumes CPU like crazy | 04:21 |
| motocoder | I just installed Ubuntu server to replace Windows Home Server on a machine at home - I'd like to use some sort of web-based administration to simplify things | 04:22 |
| aBound | motocoder, Agreed. | 04:22 |
| motocoder | I got around to looking into Webmin, and saw that it wasn't recommended for Ubuntu | 04:22 |
| aBound | About to reinstall 11.10 and try to replace it with gnome-shell. | 04:22 |
| UbuntuNuebie | motocoder: why not use ssh? | 04:22 |
| motocoder | I have used SSH to do some basic set up (like DNS, DHCP server, and DDNS) | 04:22 |
| n2diy | I installed synaptic with apt-get, but it won't work, here is the error message: (synaptic:1984): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", | 04:23 |

| n2diy | what(): vector::_M_range_check | 04:23 |
| motocoder | But It hink webmin or something like it is vastly simpler | 04:23 |
| motocoder | Anyway, is ebox worth it? | 04:23 |

| motocoder | blocky: Sure you don't have a bad network cable? | 04:24 |
| UbuntuNuebie | moto: ebox as in the dna sequencer, or ebox as in zentyal? | 04:24 |
| motocoder | ebox as in zentyal | 04:24 |
| UbuntuNuebie | not a clue, sorry. | 04:25 |
| aBound | Isn't ebox a framework for web servers? | 04:25 |
| UbuntuNuebie | yeah | 04:25 |
| motocoder | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 04:25 |
| blocky | motocoder, no, that's definitely possible | 04:25 |
| UbuntuNuebie | it's also the name of a dna sequencer, and the framework's been renamed to zentyal | 04:25 |
| Octane | if im trying to open a shared win7 drive on unity do i have to install smb server? | 04:25 |
| motocoder | Octane: Should be able to open windows shares with just the smb mount stuff - not the whole samba server | 04:26 |
| UbuntuNuebie | Octane: Short answer yes. Long answer: there are some other methods but they're not worth the effort. | 04:26 |
| Octane | motocoder thanks mate | 04:26 |
| motocoder | Maybe i should have gone with another distro? I have been in Windows land for so many years... | 04:26 |
| Octane | okay u two just contridctedeach other lol | 04:26 |
| UbuntuNuebie | Samba client, not samba server. | 04:27 |
| motocoder | Right, Samba client | 04:27 |
| Octane | righto | 04:27 |
| motocoder | But not the server | 04:27 |
| Octane | cheers | 04:27 |

| felipe_Brz | motocoder: it was compiz that was sucking my cpu... 100% on 3 processors... | 04:28 |
| felipe_Brz | no idea why | 04:28 |
| motocoder | Glad you figured it out, felipe_Brz | 04:29 |
| motocoder | Anyway - I appreciate if anyone familiar with web-based admin tools can make a recommendation | 04:30 |
| motocoder | the server will be used for DHCP, DNS, Samba file sharing, Greyhole, and DLNA server | 04:30 |

| pooky | In evolution, how canI change the hilight color of mispelled words? | 04:47 |
| Raliegh | How would I go about properly adding this "SVN repository" into Ubuntu 11.04 for easy downloading of files? http://svn.oddsock.org/public/trunk | 04:50 |
| pooky | that really depends on your needs. I create a folder called projects and then do my check outs there | 04:51 |
| pooky | the command is svn co. You should read the manual, it'll give you lots more options | 04:51 |
| cvam | when I have installed grub after windows wiped out, the grub menu resolution is very small. font sizes are small so that samsung monitor prompts that it is not optimal resolution. How to restore default font size | 04:51 |
| Raliegh | Basically I just want to easily download the streamtranscoder3 files onto my Ubuntu system. | 04:51 |
| Raliegh | I'm not a huge fan of downloading file by file, haha. | 04:51 |
| geoffmcc | pooky: what version of evolution? | 04:52 |
| aBound | Raliegh, I know what you mean especially compiling files. :P | 04:53 |
| pooky | geoffmcc, 3.2.1 | 04:53 |
| pooky | Raliegh, Then just make a folder called "work" or something and do the co and compile there. | 04:54 |
| Stepnjump | My CPU is running at 90% just for having 20 webpages open in Opera. I think I have 2 GB of RAM. Why is my computer running so hot? Could it be just because I don't have a swap partition? | 04:54 |
| geoffmcc | pooky: found a bug report. skimmed threw it, looks like there is a patch, but maybe also depending on ubuntu version. see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/829351 | 04:54 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 829351 in evolution (Ubuntu Oneiric) "Misspelled words are highlighted in yellow instead of red" [Low,Fix committed] | 04:54 |
| Raliegh | pooky, yes.. But how do I DOWNLOAD those files? I know how to make a folder, and I know how to compile. | 04:54 |
| pooky | geoffmcc, ah, didn't realize it was a bug, thought it was just a preference. | 04:54 |
| pooky | Raliegh, svn co (repo url) | 04:54 |
| Stepnjump | Nevermind that... I think I do have one swap partition in the end | 04:54 |
| Stepnjump | but the computer is running hot hot hot | 04:55 |
| geoffmcc | pooky: are you saying you cant find the place to do it, or no matter if you choose red it still shows yellow? | 04:55 |
| Raliegh | svn command not found, and "apt-get install svn" didn't pull anything up. Am I missing something here? | 04:55 |
| aBound | Stepnjump, Has the computer's fan been cleaned out lately? | 04:56 |
| pooky | I don't know how to change it to red, yellow or anything else. Seems like some gtk3 themes cause it to change yellow. | 04:56 |
| dfeuer | Heeeeeya. Why does it take 30 seconds for my laptop to resume from hibernate? | 04:56 |
| pooky | Thought it would just be a color picker hidden away somewhere :P | 04:56 |
| pooky | Raliegh, I believe you have to install subversion | 04:56 |
| multipass | is the 10.04 lts the best bet if i dont want to use unity? | 04:56 |
| aBound | multipass, You can always use 11.10 and use gnome-shell instead. But at the moment 10.04 lts seems more stable than 11.10. | 04:57 |
| multipass | ok | 04:57 |
| pooky | geoffmcc, I didn't even realize yellow was what it was till you pointed it out :P thanks for the link. | 04:57 |
| geoffmcc | pooky: well check out that link, if it applys to you there is a patch. | 04:57 |
| pooky | Yes, thanks | 04:58 |
| Stepnjump | no aBound but the CPU used to run very low in CPU % and now it runs always 90% constant... | 04:58 |
| Octane | whats the name of the social dock plugin | 04:58 |
| geoffmcc | pooky: no prob, sounds like your problem. hope it helps | 04:58 |
| multipass | is there any reason to get 32bit ubuntu on a 64bit computer? | 04:58 |
| aBound | multipass, But I noticed if you intend to use Firefox 9.0.1 on 10.04 it is kinda buggy. | 04:58 |
| Stepnjump | Could it be malware? | 04:58 |
| Octane | that gives you access to empathy | 04:58 |

| zabomber | how do you view all 4 windows in unity? | 04:59 |
| zabomber | *workspaces? | 04:59 |
| Stepnjump | abound my Opera is running 50+ % right now and all pages are static! | 04:59 |
| aBound | Stepnjump, More tabs = More ram usage you can always open a terminal and type: top. Or check the gnome-system-monitor to see what's consuming CPU usage. | 04:59 |
| mebigfatguy1 | zabomber: ctrl-alt right arrow for one | 04:59 |
| Stepnjump | abound, mostly Opera | 04:59 |
| zabomber | mebigfatguy1: and to view all 4 same time? i forgot the shortcut | 05:00 |
| multipass | aBound: do you mean the actual firefox ppa? or the one that ubuntu provides? | 05:00 |
| zabomber | 11.10 you can drag applicaitons across worspaces | 05:00 |
| multipass | aBound: just wondering, how what is buggy in it | 05:00 |
| aBound | multipass, When you click a download link it crashes. | 05:01 |
| aBound | Some other crashes to on other links. | 05:01 |
| multipass | o weird | 05:01 |
| Stepnjump | yeah top is good aBound, thanks | 05:01 |
| aBound | Stepnjump, No problem if you intend to have multiple tabs open it intends to consume more RAM and there's a chance it can get hotter if you're running flash clips. | 05:02 |
| qhoore | #ubuntu-id | 05:02 |
| aBound | Stepnjump, Also if the computer's fans are clogged with dust the temperature rises for the CPU because there's not enough airflow for it to work efficiently. | 05:03 |
| Stepnjump | abound well that's the thing, there's no flash clips... it's weird. Would it help a lot abound if I were to put the swap partition on a separate hard drive (ex sdb1?) | 05:03 |
| Stepnjump | yeah I think it does need a cleanup abound. You are right... | 05:03 |
| Stepnjump | I need to buy a can abound | 05:04 |
| aBound | Stepnjump, I doubt having a swap would fix the issue as a swap partition partially uses the hdd as virtual RAM. | 05:04 |

| rtaycher | Hi, my left click seems to break after using it for a while and I need to restart the XServer,(on a thinkpad T510) the amount of time it takes to stop working varies, pluggin in a usb mice and the usb mice can't left click either, any suggestions or pointers to threads with similar problems? | 05:09 |
| Stepnjump | abound, also another weird thing started happening a while back.. When I test my internet speed at speedtest.net, my internet speed is very slow. When I connect a different computer on the connection (same router) everything works fine. It's pretty weird | 05:10 |

| blocky | okay I'm pretty sure the network cable is okay, at least it works on my other computer | 05:11 |
| blocky | how can I troubleshoot the ethernet connection going up and down constantly | 05:11 |
| aBound | rtaycher, What's the mouse doing not interactive when you move it? | 05:13 |
| nvz | blocky: dmesg should give some further information for starters | 05:13 |
| aBound | nvz, blocky left. | 05:13 |
| Stepnjump | My internet is running ok on a windoze computer but on ubuntu, it's very slow. Why? | 05:13 |
| nvz | aBound: gee, I wonder why.. heh | 05:13 |
| aBound | hehe | 05:14 |
| Octane | stephenh what slow exactly | 05:14 |
| nvz | Stepnjump: your windoze computer is stealing all your bandwidth? | 05:14 |
| Stepnjump | no it's off | 05:14 |
| Stepnjump | everything is off | 05:14 |
| nvz | well then you need to elaborate | 05:14 |
| Stepnjump | I think it's ok now nvz, I was running out of disk space.. I just tested and everything is ok now | 05:14 |
| Stepnjump | thanks | 05:14 |
| aBound | Stepnjump, Abusing that hdd? hehe | 05:15 |
| nvz | yeah running low on disk space will do that to ya | 05:15 |
| QaqeMJCNu | =D | 05:15 |
| nvz | I often tweak my reserves to manage that as I frequently run out of disk space | 05:15 |
| aBound | 80GB ssd here. | 05:16 |
| rtaycher | aBound: what do you mean not interative? It still moves, right clicking still works(right clicking used to stop working a bit of time after left clicking but I haven't seen that recently) | 05:16 |
| nvz | I tend to move various forms of entertainment around on and off of my netbook.. when I get tired of things or already watched em, I delete or relocate and get other stuff | 05:16 |
| * nvz has a 160gb in the ol netbook but currently about 60gb is tv, and probably at least 10gb is PSX isos, and who knows what else I've forgotten about | 05:17 | |
| aBound | rtaycher, I think it's a bug in 11.10 given when I used the mouse it would just freeze for 10 seconds and wouldn't react when I moved the mouse | 05:17 |
| rtaycher | also the mouse tends to drift a bit but I dont know if its a seperate problem | 05:17 |
| gravitaslexx | good day | 05:17 |
| rtaycher | aBound: no it moves fine clicking just stops working till I restart X | 05:17 |
| nvz | rtaycher: my thoughts on the subject would be both checking the device itself i.e. catting the device and see if its producing output when you're not touching it, and also checking what kind of weird input devices are configured via your xorg.conf or xorg.log | 05:18 |
| rtaycher | and its not just for a bit of time, once left clicking stops working it doesn't work again | 05:18 |
| nvz | rtaycher: but as you mentioned this is a thinkpad and I know them well, it has a tracknav (two pointing devices) I know as they get old and dirty they tend to have these kinds of issues | 05:19 |
| opticlove | my system just crashed. where should i go to look at the logs? | 05:22 |
| rtaycher | nvz: The laptop is fairly new and clicking doesn't work on touchpad or tracknav buttons | 05:24 |
| edbian | opticlove, /var/log/ | 05:24 |
| Octane | hows kde these days? | 05:24 |
| rtaycher | nvz: /dev/input/mouse0 is silent but /dev/input/mouse1 gives 2800 ff28 00ff in hex over and over | 05:24 |
| rumpe1 | opticlove, or gnome-system-log (if you use gnome and want some "buttons") | 05:24 |
| edbian | opticlove, there is a tonne of stuff in there. Of course, occasinally the system crashes. This is Ubuntu not RHES | 05:25 |

| Flannel | Octane: You may want to ask in #kubuntu, that channel would be more familiar with KDE than this one. | 05:27 |

| Warp4 | Raliegh, have you tried http://packages.ubuntu.com? | 05:37 |
| Warp4 | if you search for what is required, I am sure you will find the .debs that you need to download and install | 05:38 |

| troulouliou | hi i m installing ubuntu on several (dell poweredge R200) server , i would like the halt command to turn off the server instead of Systel halted message | 05:38 |
| troulouliou | is it possible ? | 05:38 |
| edbian | nothreat33, it's good now | 05:38 |
| Warp4 | Raliegh, for starters: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libao2&searchon=all&suite=oneiric§ion=all | 05:39 |
| Warp4 | for libao2 | 05:39 |
| nvz | rtaycher: sounds like as I thought, something is wonky with the device itself.. either the connection is bad or its dirty..etc.. I frequently had problems with my trackpoint doing the moving to the side thing until I cleaned it real good and put a new rubber tip on it. never had the clicking issue though | 05:39 |
| nothreat33 | sweet thanks edbian, tryed looking online but a lot of the articles were dated | 05:39 |
| edbian | nothreat33, yes | 05:39 |
| Warp4 | will so you a couple of libao packages | 05:39 |
| Raliegh | Warp4 how do I add that into my sources.list? I mean... What's the line? | 05:39 |
| Warp4 | Raliegh, you dont | 05:39 |
| edbian | troulouliou, I think if you put something in /usr/local/bin named halt it will preside over the /bin/halt | 05:39 |
| edbian | or wherever halt is | 05:40 |
| Warp4 | you just go to the website, search for what you need, download the .deb you need and run 'dpkg -i' on the deb file | 05:40 |
| troulouliou | edbian, will try with alias too against shutdown | 05:41 |
| troulouliou | thanks | 05:41 |
| edbian | troulouliou, alias might work | 05:42 |
| Raliegh | Warp4 I don't see libao2 on that link. | 05:42 |
| Warp4 | Raliegh, grab libao-common | 05:43 |
| Warp4 | Raliegh, you will have to search the site to get the rest of what you need | 05:44 |
| Warp4 | the site is not that hard to use | 05:44 |
| Raliegh | libao-common is already the newest version. | 05:44 |
| Raliegh | Still getting the dependancy error. | 05:44 |
| Warp4 | ok all i can say is use that site to grab anything you think you may need to fix that | 05:45 |
| Warp4 | the site is not that hard to use | 05:45 |
| Raliegh | But I just did and it didn't fix anything... | 05:45 |
| Warp4 | there may be other libao-* files you need as well. there are others there. you just have to be diligent and look | 05:45 |
| Raliegh | But I'm still getting that libao2 error after installing the dev package. | 05:46 |
| almoxarife | Warp4: you a ubuntu user? | 05:46 |

| nvz | rtaycher: I'd move on to physical troubleshooting.. I'm a certified tech but its not really rocket science even if you aren't. Thinkpads have clearly marked screw holes on the bottom for which ones take off the keyboard to get in there and check the connections and for the most part those keyboards can be washed in the sink.. heh just gotta dry well before reconnecting | 05:48 |
| nvz | rtaycher: often the ram sits right below the tracknav and that heat could've done damage as well.. depends on how old it is and how well taken care of | 05:49 |
| vipinb | Is there anyway in syslog to block a log from a particular application?? | 05:51 |
| Raliegh | Warp4, just went and installed all the "dev" packages for all of those dependencies... And I'm still getting the exact same output. | 05:52 |
| almoxarife | Raliegh: what version of ubuntu? | 05:52 |
| Raliegh | 11.04 | 05:52 |
| almoxarife | Raliegh: you added a ppa for liquidsoap? | 05:53 |
| Raliegh | ppa? | 05:53 |
| edbian | vipinb, interesting... | 05:53 |
| edbian | vipinb, don't run that app? | 05:53 |
| vipinb | edbian: I'm running pulseaudio and it required for me to work my 5+1 speaker.. And it is making my syslog flood | 05:55 |
| Raliegh | almoxarife PPA? What's that? I'm just trying "apt-get install liquidsoap", being met with 4 dependancy errors that aren't fixed when I install those dependencies. | 05:56 |
| dfeuer | To answer my own question: switching to uswsusp brought my resume-from-hibernate time down to a very reasonable 15-20 seconds. | 05:56 |
| edbian | vipinb, looks like the syslog user can write to that file (/var/log/syslog) | 05:56 |
| edbian | vipinb, You could stop everything from writing to that file by changing the owner | 05:56 |
| n2diy | I switched from Unity to Gnome, and now I can't find Ubuntuone in my menus? | 05:57 |
| edbian | vipinb, You could somehow make alsa run as some other user... | 05:57 |
| edbian | vipinb, I'm googling | 05:57 |
| Raliegh | How would I check a version of a package? Like libao2? | 05:57 |
| Warp4 | Raliegh, I use 'dpkg -l | grep <packagename>' | 05:58 |
| n2diy | Raliegh, list it with ls? If you don't know where it is try find or locate. | 05:58 |
| vipinb | edbian: Thanks.. Please give me some link if you are finding any other alternative also... | 05:59 |
| Raliegh | Weird, libao2 isn't showing even after installing the dev package for it... | 05:59 |
| edbian | vipinb, I'm finding nothing | 05:59 |
| Raliegh | Eugh this is annoying | 05:59 |
| edbian | vipinb, what are the entries it is flooding with? Maybe you can make it shut up at the source, rather than having it not log | 06:00 |
| Raliegh | Warp64 On that site how do I know whether to download the amd64 or 1386? | 06:00 |
| Warp4 | Raliegh, -dev packages are for develpment | 06:00 |
| edbian | Raliegh, do you have 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu? | 06:00 |
| Raliegh | 32 edbian | 06:00 |

| almoxarife | Raliegh: according to 'synaptic' ( something a bit more useful than cli) on my 11.04 liquidsoap depends on libao4, yet your pastebin says nothing about it, you on 11.04? | 06:01 |
| edbian | vipinb, mmmm | 06:01 |
| n2diy | edbian, yes, of course, thanks! | 06:01 |
| edbian | vipinb, I'm sorry I don't know! :( | 06:02 |
| edbian | n2diy, :) | 06:02 |
| edbian | almoxarife, perhaps he already has libao4 installed? | 06:02 |
| almoxarife | edbian: perhaps, why would he need libao2 then, see the link to his pastebin | 06:03 |
| edbian | almoxarife, are you on 11.10 and he's on 10.04 ? | 06:04 |
| Raliegh | Okay straight up. $2 for anyone that can help me fix these 4 dependency errors. | 06:04 |
| Raliegh | I'm on 11.04 | 06:04 |
| edbian | Raliegh, can you re-link your pastebin ? | 06:04 |
| almoxarife | edbian: I am looking at the 11.04, I also have 11.10 | 06:04 |
| edbian | Raliegh, with the packages we can't install? | 06:05 |
| edbian | almoxarife, mmm | 06:05 |
| edbian | for the record I'm on 11.10 right now as well | 06:05 |
| Raliegh | Yes just a second. And edbian, as bad as it is I'm down for giving temp access. | 06:05 |

| almoxarife | Raliegh: do you just have an aversion to a gui for installing apps? you might consider doing the apt-get thing and install 'synaptic' , might as well see all that stuff you can't see on a terminal | 06:10 |
| n2diy | Raliegh, so I can get a response from the bot, it ignored me twice. | 06:11 |

| blackshirt | almoxarife: ohhh... maybe better run it on windows :D | 06:34 |
| jen | okay so Im sitting here on this chat...and I dont know what a repository is, the ubuntu software center? whats the command in the terminal then? | 06:34 |
| WTF | HEY, WHY WAS I KICKED OFF OF #UBUNTU-OFFTOPIC? | 06:35 |
| WTF | I wasn't given any reason. | 06:35 |
| Flannel | /ar WTF | 06:35 |
| blackshirt | jen: ubuntu place all packages software available for download on a placed called repository | 06:36 |
| clear` | jen: the software you want to install is for windows, if you want to install it your need to use wine | 06:36 |
| jen | I have winetricks | 06:36 |
| Saddam | algum br aí? | 06:36 |
| jen | I dont see anything called repository on my dash | 06:36 |
| almoxarife | jen: software center should have 'wine', you would need wine to install your app(the win one), the installing would be as easy as clicking on the d/l, assuming wine is configured | 06:37 |
| Saddam | algum brasileiro por aí? | 06:37 |
| jen | not sure if wine is configured | 06:37 |
| Flannel | !br | Saddam | 06:37 |

| niteria | is there like a history of updates? | 06:38 |
| yabai_ | obrigado! | 06:38 |
| niteria | that I did | 06:38 |
| almoxarife | jen: configuring wine is as simple as clicking on 'configure wine' , accept the defaults for now | 06:38 |
| Saddam | !br | 06:38 |
| ubottu | Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 06:38 |
| jen | okay i think it already is | 06:38 |
| almoxarife | jen: assuming you have the traditional web browser on ubuntu the d/l is in 'Downloads' | 06:39 |
| jen | yes | 06:39 |
| almoxarife | jen: use the file browser to get to Download, find the app, click/double-click on the app, wine should take over | 06:40 |
| ubuntu | #android | 06:40 |
| jen | it brings me to archive manager | 06:41 |
| almoxarife | jen: close it, right-click on the app, open-with 'wine.......???' forget the whole line | 06:42 |
| jen | the downloaded one? | 06:43 |
| almoxarife | jen:yes | 06:43 |
| jen | it doesnt say open with wine :( | 06:43 |
| blackshirt | jen: maybe better use linux similar tool | 06:43 |
| almoxarife | jen: right click on the file | 06:43 |
| jen | but but but I want sai | 06:43 |
| jen | I did right click | 06:43 |
| almoxarife | jen: when you do, do you see options? one of those 'properties'? | 06:44 |
| jen | no I do not | 06:45 |
| jen | Im using firefox | 06:45 |
| almoxarife | jen: this may be just a lesson on wine, cause once wine takes over the output if not what you expect I can't help you with | 06:45 |
| jen | okay thats okay | 06:46 |
| almoxarife | jen: when I say 'file browser' I mean the file look at thingy that comes with ubuntu, not within a webbrowser | 06:46 |
| jen | yeah | 06:47 |
| almoxarife | jen: yeah? meaning you found 'nautilus' <that's what its called, the file-browser | 06:47 |
| almoxarife | jen: I am assuming you are on a gnome/unity box, yes? | 06:48 |
| jen | strange now it wont let me install it | 06:48 |
| jen | says I need administrative somthing | 06:48 |
| almoxarife | jen: install what? | 06:49 |
| jen | sai paint | 06:49 |
| almoxarife | jen: so you got wine to go into the install process? | 06:50 |
| jen | I have it in dash but now it wants me to logon as admin and I AM admin of my computer of course | 06:50 |
| jen | yes wine got that icon on dash | 06:50 |
| jen | it didnt really install | 06:50 |
| almoxarife | jen: thanks for sharing, and you are now on your own, wine is not perfect, and your windows software I have no clue about | 06:51 |
| jen | Im going to try something different but you did teach me something, thank you very much | 06:52 |
| almoxarife | jen: really, use gimp! I hear it's the best | 06:52 |
| jen | I use mypaint mostly | 06:53 |
| almoxarife | jen: the win thing you got is crap ware in comparison | 06:53 |
| jen | awww but but it has fur brushes I want | 06:53 |
| * almoxarife don't paint, too messy | 06:53 | |
| jen | XD | 06:54 |
| almoxarife | jen: I am thinking gimp has 'fur' brushes too, all the animal skin ones | 06:54 |
| jen | okay I will work with gimp more :) I just never know how to adjust my size on it | 06:55 |
| jen | the size of my drawing | 06:55 |
| almoxarife | jen: that's why you need to spend time in #gimp, rather than here | 06:55 |

| ranjan | Raliegh, what really is your problem? i came late to the channel | 07:07 |
| Flannel | Raliegh: You run configure as a regular user, the only thing you run as root is make install. This is, of course, with the standard "check the package manager first" disclaimer with compiling software. | 07:07 |
| Raliegh | Oh nothing now, I was mis-reading something. It's early, lol. Though how would I run "./configure" as a different user when it's in my root directory? I can't seem to CD there and I really don't want to move it all to my users' home directory. | 07:08 |
| lalagirl | ranjan, can you restate your question, i don't understand it | 07:08 |
| ranjan | lalagirl, i just would like to know any one here is supporting large scale ubuntu desktop installations | 07:09 |
| Flannel | Raliegh: You could give that other user permission, but the quicker solution would be to move it to someone else's home directory. (It shouldn't be in /root to begin with) | 07:09 |
| ranjan | lalagirl, espsicially in corporate | 07:09 |
| pnorman | Raliegh: Download the source to your home directory, cd into it, then do ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall | 07:09 |
| lalagirl | ranjan i think i would support it | 07:10 |
| Raliegh | So the best way is to simply move it to my users' home directory? Alright, easy 'nuff, just time consuming (2k+ files). Thanks guys. | 07:10 |
| ranjan | lalagirl, so how do you do centralized user authentication ? | 07:10 |
| Flannel | Raliegh: with mv | 07:10 |
| dannel | raleigh, it shouldn't take long if it's on the same partition | 07:10 |
| Ben64 | it should never be root | 07:11 |
| lalagirl | ranjan have a server | 07:11 |
| ranjan | lalagirl, what server :) | 07:11 |
| n2diy | I switched from Unity to Gnome, and now I can't find Ubuntuone in my menus? | 07:11 |
| Raliegh | Lucky for me it is. When it moves do the files/directories still keep the same set permissions? That's what took forever to apply a bit ago. | 07:11 |
| ranjan | lalagirl, do you mean an LDAP Server? | 07:11 |
| lalagirl | ranjan uh… i think | 07:11 |
| pnorman | lalagirl: out of interest, how many users are you supporting with your installation? | 07:12 |
| ranjan | lalagirl, that means you havent ever been to supporting large scale desktops isnt it? | 07:12 |
| lalagirl | pnorman my installation of my server? only 2 | 07:12 |
| pnorman | lalagirl: Ah, I thought you said you supported a large installation | 07:13 |
| avinashhm | Hi friends , i need to install libc6 .. when i do any apt-get install, it is giving "The package libc6 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." ... since apt-get is broken, can i do it via dpkg -i OR what is the best way to install libc6 | 07:13 |
| Flannel | Raliegh: yes. Just change the owner, not the permissions (from root to your user) | 07:13 |
| ranjan | pnorman, even i thought like that ;) | 07:13 |
| lalagirl | ranjan i'm not quite shore… "i think i would support it"… …… i support the idea | 07:13 |
| lalagirl | sure* | 07:13 |
| Flannel | avinashhm: dpkg -i would be the easiest method (assuming it works, it may not). You can download the deb file from packages.ubuntu.com (find the package, then scroll down and pick your arch) | 07:14 |
| lalagirl | ranjan i feel stupid.. what i meant to say is that if it was an idea, i would support the idea... | 07:14 |
| Koketso-Mabuse | Jen: install fulll wine via Synaptic. | 07:14 |
| pnorman | ranjan: they have a medium sized install at my university department. I'm not sure what they're using for authentication | 07:14 |
| Raliegh | Flannel - copied it all to my "Home" directory, but I'm getting "Permission denied" errors for "config.log". It didn't exist, so I assumed it couldn't create it since I'm not root, so I added a blank log file, renamed it, and set it to full permissions. Still no-go. | 07:15 |
| avinashhm | Flannel, just in case, if dpkg -i doesn't work ; is there any other way ? or its only option ? | 07:15 |
| pnorman | ranjan: In my case, it's a mixed install of windows, ubuntu, solaris and others | 07:15 |
| Flannel | Raliegh: chown that folder (and recursively, everythign in it) to your user. | 07:15 |
| ranjan | pnorman, so what is the central authentication mechanism you are using? | 07:15 |
| pnorman | ranjan: i think it's LDAP but I'm really not sure. I don't support it, I just use it | 07:16 |
| ranjan | pnorman, have you ever used IPA (freeipa.org) | 07:16 |
| lalagirl | Flannel chown is a verb? lol | 07:16 |
| n2diy | !pam | 07:16 |
| reisio | which means chownly is an adverb | 07:16 |
| Flannel | avinashhm: You can manually extract the files into your filesystem via a liveCD or whatnot. This isn't pretty, but then again, getting rid of libc6 in the first place is bound to cause some grief :) | 07:16 |
| ranjan | pnorman, as a user, does your ubuntu machines authenticate to a central server or local account? | 07:16 |
| pnorman | ranjan: central server I believe | 07:16 |
| ranjan | pnorman, so do you know lalagirl in person? | 07:17 |
| pnorman | ranjan: no | 07:17 |
| ranjan | pnorman, ok :) | 07:17 |
| lalagirl | pnorman yes we do. we're best budies | 07:18 |
| lalagirl | buddies | 07:18 |
| pnorman | ranjan: I don't know lalagirl at all. :) I just SSH'ed into the server, if you knew of an easy to way to check if they're using LDAP or not I could do it | 07:18 |

| Raliegh | Flannel: I just ran this: "chown -R ices:ices /home/liquidsoap-1.0.0-full" , su'ed into ices, and tried ./configure but now I'm getting permission denied. I used "useradd" for ices, so it has no password or anything (not that it matters unless I'm trying to sudo which I'm not). What did I break? :P | 07:19 |

| gulzar | is their any alternative to vlc-qt. Its heavy for a GTK+ evironment? | 07:20 |
| reisio | gulzar: gnome-mplayer ? | 07:20 |
| gulzar | reisio: Ok.. any other? or any vlc-gtk? | 07:20 |
| reisio | not that I'm aware of, but you can run vlc from a terminal | 07:21 |
| reisio | as well as mplayer | 07:21 |
| reisio | the VLC command is cvlc | 07:21 |
| lalagirl | Let me try this... | 07:21 |
| lalagirl | !vlc-gtk | 07:21 |
| gulzar | reisio: Ok.. | 07:21 |
| lalagirl | didn't work | 07:22 |
| Raliegh | reisio, the thing that sucks about cvlc is if you press "CTRL+C" or close the terminal the script ends as well. | 07:22 |
| reisio | gulzar: maybe Pymp | 07:22 |
| lalagirl | !gvlc | 07:22 |
| reisio | lalagirl: awe | 07:22 |
| gulzar | reisio: Pymp.. never heard of.. lets try | 07:22 |
| reisio | !euphoria | 07:22 |
| lalagirl | http://archive.debian.net/sarge/oldlibs/vlc-gtk | 07:22 |
| reisio | Raliegh: that's what I'd want to happen, though | 07:22 |
| reisio | unless I used screen | 07:23 |
| reisio | or daemonized it | 07:23 |
| n2diy | What's the command to run Ubuntuone from the CLI? | 07:23 |
| gulzar | reisio: its a python based mp3 convertor .. I will go for commandline | 07:23 |
| reisio | I assume VLC can be daemonized, mplayer can (see -input/-slave) | 07:23 |
| Raliegh | reisio, then cvlc is perfect for you. :) And yeah there is an option to pass that uses normal "vlc" and has terminal usage. | 07:23 |
| reisio | gulzar: no it's a general mplayer frontend, including playback | 07:23 |
| reisio | gulzar: I assume it uses GTK+ | 07:23 |
| reisio | gulzar: yes it does | 07:24 |
| gulzar | reisio: Actually I want to get rid of qt apps to make my sys more faster.. but VLC is one app I can'nt live without.. | 07:24 |
| reisio | MPlayer and VLC are basically equivalent | 07:24 |
| reisio | I actually favor mplayer, but for most people they do all the same things | 07:24 |
| lalagirl | !u1sdtool | n2diy | 07:24 |
| reisio | anyways, pymp is a GTK+ frontend for mplayer | 07:25 |
| reisio | there's one for Xfce, too... | 07:25 |
| lalagirl | n2diy does this help? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/u1sdtool.1.html | 07:25 |
| gulzar | reisio: Ok.. I will search for some CLI media plaer | 07:25 |
| lalagirl | n2diy I"m no expoert | 07:25 |
| lalagirl | n2diy I'm no expert | 07:25 |
| reisio | xfmedia http://spurint.org/projects/xfmedia/ | 07:25 |
| reisio | the GTK+ frontend for VLC is just so poorly maintained, IIRC | 07:25 |
| lalagirl | !google | lalagirl | 07:25 |
| ubottu | lalagirl, please see my private message | 07:25 |
| reisio | if you can get a build of mplayer with the GTK+-1 frontend included, you can theme it to look like ordinary GTK+2 | 07:26 |
| n2diy | lalagirl, thanks, I'm using that on Xubuntu, on my other box. I upgraded this box to Ubuntu 11.10 so I could use the GUI, but Ubuntuone isn't in my menus, thanks. | 07:26 |
| gulzar | reisio: is mplayer support as good as VLC? | 07:26 |
| reisio | gulzar: I would argue it's better | 07:26 |
| reisio | to most they would appear to have the same support | 07:26 |
| reisio | looks like Ubuntu dumped the GTK+-1 frontend like most everyone else | 07:27 |
| lalagirl | n2diy sudo ubuntuone-launch | 07:27 |
| gulzar | reisio: Thank You | 07:28 |

| reisio | if you're interested | 07:29 |
| Raliegh | Anyone care to help me with this? I copied some files from "root" to "home" to allow a user to use them. I used this command to recursively chown to my user, but now I'm getting 'permission denied'. "chown -R ices:ices /home/liquidsoap-1.0.0-full" | 07:29 |
| lalagirl | n2diy does that work? | 07:29 |
| n2diy | lalagirl, I don't know, I ran it, and the box is still "cooking". | 07:29 |
| reisio | Raliegh: if you ls -al /home/, does it say 'ices:ices' ? | 07:30 |
| lalagirl | n2diy cooking hahahahah that's funny... | 07:30 |
| Raliegh | reisio, for that folder yes it does. | 07:30 |
| lalagirl | n2diy sudo u1sdtool -q; sudo killall ubuntuone-login; sudo u1sdtool -c | 07:31 |
| reisio | Raliegh: what's the command giving you permission denied? | 07:31 |
| n2diy | lalagirl, still waiting. no error message, no prompt... no prompt, I'll have to open another terminal. | 07:31 |
| Raliegh | ./configure | 07:31 |
| reisio | Raliegh: in what dir? | 07:31 |
| Raliegh | I "su ices", then "./configure" | 07:31 |
| lalagirl | n2diy use ctrl+c to stop it | 07:31 |
| Raliegh | Not sure, whatever the default is for su'ing into ices. | 07:32 |
| Raliegh | I can't seem to "cd" anywhere else either. | 07:32 |
| gulzar | Raliegh: try group - "user" | 07:32 |
| reisio | Raliegh: doesn't sound like the right directory | 07:32 |
| reisio | Raliegh: 'pwd' will tell you where you are, if you're unsure | 07:32 |
| Raliegh | Oooh, I'm still in /root | 07:32 |
| reisio | Raliegh: that said liquidsoap is in the repos, why do you want to build it manually? | 07:32 |
| Raliegh | Lol. | 07:32 |
| n2diy | lalagirl, yea, that works too. Lots of traceback errors. | 07:32 |
| Raliegh | reisio, because I got met with dependency errors that couldn't be fixed no matter what I installed, so I'm just compiling it and letting it install it for me. | 07:33 |
| Raliegh | Anyways, how do I "cd" into the "/home/liquidsoap" directory as "ices"? | 07:33 |
| Raliegh | Or change directories in terminal in some way as a user? | 07:34 |
| purvesh | abhinav_singh, hi | 07:35 |
| aBound | Woot, I'm digging this alpha. | 07:35 |

| reisio | Raliegh: cd /home/liquids[TAB] | 07:36 |
| gulzar | Raliegh: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Users_and_Groups | 07:36 |
| Raliegh | That's so weird that tab is required. o.o But reisio, I even tried manually installing the dependencies and it still didn't read them, so it was a lost cause, lol. | 07:37 |
| almoxarife | gulzar: arch edition of ubuntu netbooks? | 07:38 |
| reisio | Raliegh: probably missing something trivial | 07:38 |
| reisio | Raliegh: TAB isn't required, it'll just save you time and sanity | 07:38 |
| Raliegh | Really? When I tried to cd the normal way a root user does it just threw me errors, haha. | 07:38 |

| A_J | http://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-LAN01-Usb-lan-RJ45/dp/B000CCZP88 | 07:46 |
| aBound | debaino, By the way depending on your video card you may need binary drivers installed. | 07:46 |
| aBound | debaino, Or an open source driver. | 07:47 |
| debaino | abound: In one computer yes,its 1024 by 768 ,but in another there the highest ratio is 900 | 07:47 |

| aBound | debaino, If you're using Ubuntu 11.10 it may install the open source ati/nvidia driver. If you're using anything below that such as 10.04 LTS it may use a generic driver. Showing outputs of 800x600 and 640x480. | 07:49 |

| goddard | /leave | 07:52 |
| vodik | almoxarife: patches are one thing, but ubuntu shouldn't be changing how applications fundamentally work | 07:52 |
| aBound | debaino, If you're using Ubuntu LTS on all computers and only a few work. One of them definitely is either using onboard video or an actual video card. I'd check what kind of onboard video/video card it uses through a terminal. By opening a terminal type: lspci | 07:52 |

| aBound | A_J, Sure if you know how to do driver development for the Linux kernel. But it'll have to be supported by the kernel that's where the drivers are. :P | 07:53 |
| cypha | Write Into appends the data | 07:53 |
| A_J | aBound, hmm... | 07:54 |
| almoxarife | pp7: look for the extension for compression for nautilus, | 07:54 |

| aBound | debaino, Ubuntu 11.10 will hav | 07:56 |
| debaino | aBound:Thanks | 07:57 |
| aBound | debaino, Ubuntu 11.10 will have a newer kernel once you update the system but at the moment it tends to be somewhat unstable. It varies given that once you install the system and if you have an ati/nvidia card it will ask you to install the restricted binary drivers. | 07:57 |
| aBound | debaino, By default it may use one of the open source drivers. | 07:58 |
| debaino | aBound:I use 11.10 to host my website and a postgres server,nothing frightening to report just yet,should go for an earlief verion?. | 07:59 |
| txomon|nqas | is there any difference between the kernel in ubuntu server and the normal one? | 08:00 |
| pp7 | probably | 08:01 |
| aBound | debaino, I meant unstable as in the mouse acting weird and unity. | 08:01 |
| aBound | debaino, Ubuntu 11.10 is more bleeding edge. | 08:02 |
| aBound | debaino, Figures if you upgrade the others it'll automatically switch to an open source driver if you use ati/nvidia cards. | 08:02 |
| aBound | debaino, I'm using 12.04 LTS Alpha 1. | 08:02 |
| debaino | aBound,oh wow,i shall definetely try it out. | 08:03 |

| Ben64 | i want to murder unity | 08:05 |
| aBound | 12.04 definitely doesn't seem like it has flash. | 08:05 |
| pp7 | Ben64: y? | 08:05 |
| Raliegh | Hello, I'm having some more compilation errors. I've Googled around and it said to install the dev version of gstreamer, and I did... But I'm still getting this error: checking whether pkg-config knows about gstreamer-app-0.10... configure: error: gstreamer-app-0.10.pc not found.. Do you need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH?" | 08:05 |
| aBound | Ben64, What's it doing? | 08:05 |
| Ben64 | i went 10.04 -> 12.04 and i lost a lot of functionality in the process | 08:06 |
| almoxarife | pp7: you needed something for compressing then, not a extension for nautilus for compression, got it | 08:06 |
| txomon|nqas | Ben64, its in alpha 2 still | 08:06 |
| aBound | Ben64, What do ya expect when you're using Alpha. | 08:06 |
| aBound | :P | 08:06 |
| pp7 | almoxarife: no, the dialog when u select "compress" from the context menu was not working | 08:06 |
| Ben64 | aBound: i'm pretty sure this would be the same as 11.10 | 08:06 |
| aBound | Unity definitely feels a bit more stable on 12.04. | 08:06 |
| msterbrewer | hello | 08:06 |

| pp7 | almoxarife: installing the latest version of file-roller fixed it | 08:07 |
| lalagirl | Sorry | 08:07 |
| aBound | Ben64, I dislike 11.10 for it's instability. | 08:07 |
| almoxarife | pp7: cool | 08:07 |

| aBound | Ben64, Remember gnome-shell is bleeding edge just as unity. | 08:10 |
| Ben64 | pp7: it only lets me choose from a list, can't add to the list | 08:10 |
| lalagirl | Полюби же ты меня! | 08:10 |
| aBound | It took time for gnome 2 to be stable when it first came out. | 08:11 |
| pp7 | Ben64: cant u just add your theme to ~/.themes ? | 08:11 |
| Ben64 | pp7: http://www.ben64.com/customize.png | 08:11 |

| Ben64 | the entire preferences menu is missing from 12.04 | 08:12 |
| aBound | Ben64, By the way how do you switch from gnome-shell once you installed it? | 08:12 |
| Ben64 | log out, and hit the cog icon next to my name | 08:12 |
| pp7 | aBound: from? | 08:12 |
| reisio | Matrixiumn: hi | 08:12 |
| aBound | pp7, I'm using Unity on 12.04 and how do I switch from gnome shell? | 08:12 |
| aBound | By the way gnome-do is awesome. | 08:13 |
| pp7 | aBound: i thought there could not be used simultaneously | 08:13 |
| pp7 | they* | 08:13 |
| almoxarife | remember how configurable 10.10 was ? well the same is still possible, plasma-workspace, and best part, smaller foot print | 08:13 |
| aBound | pp7, They can't but I'm asking how do I use that gui instead of unity. :P | 08:13 |
| pp7 | aBound: gnome-do is ancient | 08:13 |
| aBound | pp7, Others use different launchers than gnome-do? | 08:14 |
| pp7 | aBound: synapse for example | 08:14 |
| pp7 | aBound: unity works fine for me as a launcher | 08:14 |
| aBound | pp7, I just wanted to give gnome-shell a run never used it before. | 08:14 |

| pp7 | dooglus: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 08:16 |
| aBound | pp7, I'll have to try in a while might want to give that launcher a try the one you pointed out. | 08:16 |
| Raliegh | Hello, I'm having some more compilation errors. I've Googled around and it said to install the dev version of gstreamer, and I did... But I'm still getting this error: checking whether pkg-config knows about gstreamer-app-0.10... configure: error: gstreamer-app-0.10.pc not found.. Do you need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH?" This is when trying "./configure" as a user. | 08:16 |
| dooglus | pp7: I did that. there's still no sshd running tho' | 08:16 |
| reisio | Raliegh: sounds like it has _a lot_ of deps | 08:16 |
| aBound | pp7, So far I'd probably like 12.04 in the long term. | 08:16 |
| pp7 | k | 08:16 |
| reisio | you should probably go back and figure out why the liquidsoap package in the repos isn't installing | 08:16 |
| dooglus | pp7: it says: "openssh-server is already the newest version." | 08:16 |
| Stanley00 | Raliegh: I think you should install some gstreamer's header | 08:16 |
| Raliegh | reisio It does, but I think I've gotten all of the dependencies. I have the correct dependencies now, and I have the feeling this is the last one. | 08:17 |

| rectec | Excuse me is there any way I can upgrade to Kernel <3.0 on Lucid? | 08:18 |
| Raliegh | I've already got libgstreamer-dev | 08:18 |
| Stanley00 | Raliegh: not sure, but I think you should run "sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev -" first | 08:18 |
| dooglus | pp7: when I try "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" it tells me "start: Unknown job: ssh" | 08:18 |
| pp7 | hmm | 08:18 |
| aBound | Eh, looks like the software center doesn't work to well in my Alpha can't get Synapse. | 08:18 |
| pp7 | dooglus: and u sure it installed ok? | 08:19 |
| Raliegh | And reisio, I always get this output when trying "apt-get install liquidsoap", even though I have the dependencies... And I know this because I was met with the same errors in "./configure", installed them one-by-one, and it progressed in the configuration. http://pastebin.com/yibFyzPf | 08:19 |
| Raliegh | Stanley00, I've already done that. | 08:19 |
| dooglus | pp7: I've no idea. It's not working, so I guess not. I used your command to install it though. | 08:19 |
| pp7 | dooglus: hmm not sure | 08:19 |
| dooglus | pp7: when I try to --reinstall it, the last 2 lines of output are: Setting up openssh-server (1:5.8p1-7ubuntu1) ... | 08:20 |

| Raliegh | reisio, do you think you know how to fix the apt-get issues? | 08:22 |

| lalagirl | Hi | 08:23 |
| Kadko | Hi | 08:23 |
| Stanley00 | Raliegh: why dont you use the one in Ubuntu Software Center? | 08:23 |
| Raliegh | apt-get install gives me those dependency errors even though I've manually installed all of them, and my ./configure progress can attest to that. I can't finish the ./configure script because of that stupid error I'm snagging. | 08:23 |
| pp7 | aBound: bookmark omgubuntu.co.uk :) | 08:24 |
| Raliegh | Stanley00 because that gives the dependency errors even though I've manually installed all of them. | 08:24 |

| cliffybx | how to kill apps in ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| rectec | yeah? | 08:26 |
| Stanley00 | Raliegh: maybe you should change your repo to main server | 08:26 |
| pp7 | cliffybx: xkill then click on the window of the app | 08:26 |
| pp7 | cliffybx: or pkill -9 <PID> | 08:26 |
| aBound | pp7, Surfing different blogs might have better articles in certain areas or apps that might not be shown on omgubuntu. | 08:26 |

| Stanley00 | Raliegh: just a min, let me see | 08:27 |
| Raliegh | Thanks. :) | 08:27 |

| Raliegh | Long update for that list, haha. | 08:31 |
| aBound | pp7, But is there a thing like noscript? | 08:32 |
| pp7 | aBound: what is that? | 08:32 |
| aBound | pp7, NoScript is an addon for firefox that blocks javascript and prevents you from being exploited by xss. | 08:33 |
| pp7 | i c | 08:33 |
| Stanley00 | Raliegh: haha, it work fine for me, since I'm living in Vietnam... ;) | 08:33 |
| pp7 | dunno | 08:33 |
| aBound | pp7, Blocking javascript increases firefox's speed too and they have fasterfox lite. | 08:33 |

| pp7 | aBound: snappy as hell :P | 08:36 |
| Raliegh | Stanley00, okay, I can't use this. If it's taking this long just to load the list who knows how long it will take to actually download a file. :/ | 08:37 |

| KnorrieBorrie | Stanley00: say through an instruction on a php page | 08:57 |

| KnorrieBorrie | e_t_: then the target box needs to be known to the source, therefore secure I would think | 09:04 |
| gribouille | can someone tell me if "amixer set Master off; amixer set Master on" works on oneiric? | 09:04 |
| e_t_ | KnorrieBorrie: don't rely on security through obscurity. I'd install knockd on computer C, so you knock on it and it lets you in, without needing computer B. | 09:04 |
| KnorrieBorrie | e_t_: Okay, thanks. let me read some more about knockd | 09:05 |
| gribouille | can someone tell me if "amixer set Master off; amixer set Master on" works on oneiric? | 09:06 |
| mkanyicy | gribouille, me too | 09:06 |
| gribouille | mkanyicy, does it work or not? | 09:06 |
| mkanyicy | gribouille, there is a problem between headphones and computer speakers | 09:06 |
| rabbi1 | i have a file in ubuntu and shared, how can a windows person and me access at the same time and edit at same time ? | 09:07 |
| gribouille | mkanyicy, what do you mean? | 09:07 |
| mkanyicy | gribouille, it works if you do it like: | 09:07 |
| mkanyicy | gribouille, 'amixer set Master on' and 'amixer set Headphone on' and 'amixer set Front on' | 09:07 |
| mjohn425 | Stanley00 : I didn't at the time, I did a fresh install of windows since then so its gone now. | 09:08 |
| mkanyicy | gribouille, but i think there is still a problem though because that is just a workaround not how it should be, imo | 09:08 |
| e_t_ | rabbi1: very few programs support multi-user editing in real time. That's one of the "killer features" of Google Docs. | 09:09 |
| gribouille | mkanyicy, you mean "amixer set Master off; amixer set Master on" doesn't work | 09:09 |
| gribouille | ? | 09:09 |
| rabbi1 | e_t_: o, should only use google docs then ? | 09:10 |
| mkanyicy | gribouille, yes | 09:10 |
| e_t_ | rabbi1: If Google Docs will do what you need, then that's what you should use. | 09:10 |
| mkanyicy | gribouille, on my machine | 09:11 |
| gribouille | mkanyicy, ok, thanks for your help | 09:11 |
| Stanley00 | mjohn425: well, you can check that via your cd, | 09:11 |
| Stanley00 | mjohn425: in the boot screen, there is an option let you check your cd. | 09:12 |
| mkanyicy | gribouille, np | 09:12 |
| rabbi1 | e_t_: thanks | 09:13 |

| daedaluz | share gnome | 09:17 |
| Stanley00 | mjohn425: hmm, I dont think check disk will need load some driver, is your cdrom drive a scsi? | 09:17 |

| Raliegh | How do I install ".install" extensions in Ubuntu 11.04? | 09:19 |
| ortsvorsteher | Raliegh, normally you just have to run the file. open a terminal and ./filenam.install check the permissions before that it has executable rights | 09:20 |
| mjohn425 | Stanley00 I wouldn't have a clue. I have an Acer Aspire 5750G if that helps | 09:24 |
| plouffe | "sudo ifconfig wlan1 up" will enable the wlan1 interface. How do I know which interfaces (such as wlan1) are available, if they're previously not listed under "sudo ifconfig"? | 09:25 |
| plouffe | Can I list available network interfaces that are not yet enabled? | 09:26 |
| Stanley00 | mjohn425: first, you must make sure you download the correct iso, I mean there's no error in the transfer | 09:27 |

| ubottu | xkitcheng: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 09:30 |

| Zap-W | what does LTS mean? | 09:43 |
| theadmin | Zap-W: Long-Term Support | 09:43 |
| share | !lts | 09:43 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 09:43 |
| theadmin | !lts | Zap-W | 09:43 |
| ubottu | Zap-W: please see above | 09:43 |
| ribot | for some reason i can't cd to a dir with permissions 660 even that i'm in the owner group | 09:43 |
| share | -.- | 09:44 |
| theadmin | ribot: duh | 09:44 |
| abe_ | I've moved many times and places operators theadmin | 09:44 |
| android_ | Please | 09:44 |
| theadmin | ribot: To cd to a directory you need to +x | 09:44 |
| abe_ | yes i using usb modem now share | 09:44 |
| share | abe_: is it slow? | 09:44 |
| share | than usual? | 09:44 |
| ribot | theadmin: there is x too | 09:44 |
| Stanley00 | android_: just install it, there a package in .deb file, AFAIK | 09:44 |
| theadmin | ribot: It needs to be executable for that, that's your problem, your current permissions are rw. | 09:44 |
| share | abe_: is it slower than usual? | 09:44 |
| Zap-W | what decisions are considered to declare a relase LTS?? | 09:44 |
| Zap-W | is there some special in the release | 09:44 |
| abe_ | yes | 09:45 |
| ribot | theadmin: no it's drwxrwx--- | 09:45 |
| theadmin | Zap-W: LTS are released every 2 years IIRC | 09:45 |
| theadmin | ribot: You just said 660... | 09:45 |
| share | abe_: is there another computer using the internet connection? | 09:45 |
| lalagirl | Zap-W if you're a normal user, just use the latest version of Ubuntu | 09:45 |
| ribot | theadmin: well i didn't know how to convert that to numbers | 09:45 |
| theadmin | ribot: But okay, hm, then this is strange, is there anything awkward in the folder's ACL? | 09:45 |
| iceroot | Zap-W: lts are supported for 3 years with security updates, the newest lts which is coming next year is supported 5 years | 09:45 |
| ribot | theadmin: what's ACL? | 09:45 |
| abe_ | nothing | 09:45 |
| share | abe_: maybe you have same internal IP address of another computer in your network... | 09:45 |
| iceroot | Zap-W: in my opinion lts releases are more stable then non-lts releases | 09:46 |
| ribot | theadmin: it's not installed | 09:46 |
| theadmin | ribot: Access Control List... I take it you're not fiddling with those if you don't even know what they are, but just in case, please: getfacl /path/to/folder | 09:46 |
| share | abe_: ping 8.8.8.8 | 09:46 |
| abe_ | nothing | 09:46 |
| abe_ | This new modem I bought along with the card | 09:46 |
| abe_ | what is this ?? | 09:46 |
| Zap-W | iceroot: why? packages are tested for intensly when an upcoming LTS is near? | 09:46 |
| Zap-W | more | 09:47 |
| share | abe_: hit ctrl+c to stop pinging. | 09:47 |
| iceroot | Zap-W: no | 09:47 |
| ribot | theadmin: command not found | 09:47 |
| iceroot | Zap-W: an lts release is designed for mayn years so the changes from 11.10 to 12.04 are not that big then 11.04 to 11.10 | 09:47 |
| theadmin | ribot: Oh, okay, none of that then... Hm, weird... Are you allowed to access the directory your directory resides in? | 09:47 |
| abe_ | yes already | 09:47 |
| iceroot | Zap-W: new things like unity are published in non-lts releases first | 09:48 |
| ribot | theadmin: yes | 09:48 |
| iceroot | Zap-W: but that is just my opionien about stbale and lts | 09:48 |
| ribot | theadmin: i can't even "sudo cd dir", as it says command not found | 09:48 |
| share | abe_: mine 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=1 ttl=52 time=49.9 ms | 09:48 |
| theadmin | ribot: Because "cd" is not a command. | 09:48 |
| tfhlap | is there a good tool for downloads in slow connections - for ubuntu? | 09:48 |
| theadmin | ribot: It's a shell built-in. So far, I can only suggest you do "sudo -i" and cd to your directory. | 09:49 |
| === jh_ is now known as Guest51512 | ||
| iceroot | Zap-W: but there is no difference in "how good a release is tested before" its just a matter of changed which is pulled into a new release | 09:50 |
| iceroot | Zap-W: e.g. there is a big change in the future (maybe the biggest change in linux-history for the last years) which is called "wayland" that will never be published first in a lts-release | 09:51 |
| ribot | ok, thanks anyway theadmin | 09:51 |
| iceroot | tfhlap: cli? gui? | 09:52 |
| tfhlap | iceroot, i prefer gui, but command line is ok as well | 09:53 |
| Zap-W | iceroot: do you know from what kernel ver there was a major change in how X and the kernel use the graphics card | 09:53 |
| iceroot | tfhlap: for gui i would suggest the download-manager from your browser or "flashget" for the cli i would suggest "wget" | 09:53 |
| tfhlap | iceroot, I suddenly found myself on a really slow connection, that keeps dropping, and I'm trying to get the tools I used 15 years ago | 09:54 |
| iceroot | Zap-W: there was a change about that on 2.6.32 (removing the flashing on boot) other changes i dont know | 09:54 |
| tfhlap | I downloaded stuff using wget, but I looks like some file got corrupted | 09:54 |
| iceroot | tfhlap: or rsync is a good way for that, there are also gui-variants of rsync | 09:54 |
| opalepatrick_ | Here - http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc - I am being asked to enable some options in the kernel config. How do I do this? Any how to? | 09:55 |
| iceroot | opalepatrick_: you can just put kernel-parameters to the grub-line | 09:55 |
| iceroot | !nox | opalepatrick_ | 09:55 |
| ubottu | opalepatrick_: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 09:55 |
| iceroot | opalepatrick_: last link | 09:55 |
| opalepatrick_ | cheers iceroot | 09:56 |
| iceroot | opalepatrick_: nox is just an example and is showing how to add kernel-parameters | 09:56 |
| opalepatrick_ | got you. Can I do this on a running kernel? | 09:56 |

| iceroot | artti: no | 10:12 |
| share | artti: how do you want usb to work without bios | 10:12 |
| iceroot | artti: if you mean "without usb-boot-option" | 10:12 |
| theadmin | iceroot: Why not?... | 10:12 |
| artti | Google also said no | 10:12 |
| theadmin | iceroot: There are bootloaders with USB support | 10:12 |
| theadmin | Install one, use that. | 10:13 |
| theadmin | What's the big problem? | 10:13 |
| SunTsu | artti: well, you could put grub onto a *shudder* floppy disk and use that to trigger that usb stick, but ... | 10:13 |
| iceroot | theadmin: grub2? | 10:13 |
| artti | No floppy disk | 10:13 |
| theadmin | iceroot: From Windows, I most commonly install PLOP to boot USBs when there's no BIOS support for that | 10:13 |
| theadmin | artti: ^ | 10:13 |
| SunTsu | artti: then put it onto the harddisk if you have one you wish to install onto, but you'd probably will need to do that at another box | 10:14 |
| theadmin | artti: Are you running Windows atm? | 10:14 |
| artti | I was running windows, now screen gives me no default or ui configuration directive found! | 10:15 |

| artti | After I tried to install xubuntu with unetbootin | 10:15 |

| theadmin | artti: That doesn't ever work -_- | 10:16 |

| hasher | Hello, in windows, i used to connect to internet using bluetooth dialup, i used my phone's bluetooth SPP profile and a dialer software for that and the connection would get established, i also used bluetooth dongle ofcourse, now i want to implement the same idea in ubuntu since i cannot connect my phone through wire, only through bluetooth | 10:16 |
| SunTsu | hasher: use bluetooth serial module and use the tty as a modem | 10:17 |
| SunTsu | hasher: what you need is called rfcomm | 10:18 |
| hasher | can you tell me how? i am an amateur in all this, so can u tell mem SunTsu....... | 10:18 |
| SunTsu | hasher: google is able to tell you, just search for "bluetooth rfcomm ubuntu" - no need for me to paste what is written elsewhere | 10:19 |
| hasher | what is rfcomm? | 10:19 |
| hasher | ok | 10:20 |
| oCean | SunTsu: don't refer to google here in such way | 10:20 |
| hasher | i tried a few articles and it just does not work....SunTsu | 10:21 |
| SunTsu | oCean: Why not? | 10:21 |
| oCean | SunTsu: not acceptable by channel policy. It is not helpful, since not everyone knows how to handle google like you might | 10:22 |
| SunTsu | oCean: I even gave him the words to search for which I tried by myself. Why would I need to throw urls into the channel? | 10:23 |
| Stepnjump | Good morning. I'm trying to find out at what time I logged off my computer last night. What is the command to view ALL activity for yesterday on my computer please | 10:23 |
| oCean | SunTsu: not about to discuss channel rules here. You can join #ubuntu-ops if you wish. | 10:23 |
| SunTsu | hasher: what does "not working" mean? What did you do and what didn't work? | 10:24 |
| llutz | hasher: read this, try this, ask if you get stuck http://www.spiration.co.uk/post/1307/Ubuntu-Linux---Bluetooth-and-GPRS-dialup-connection | 10:24 |
| hasher | i tried the official article but i get stuck in between[ the output does not come as desired] so i installed blueman, now blueman is able to find and even connect to the SPP, it tells me that "serial port profile connected on dev/rfcomm" now what should i do? | 10:26 |
| SunTsu | hasher: use the newly created serial port i.e. tty as a modem, by the ways of modem-manager for instance | 10:27 |
| hasher | can you tell me what is tty and in my case, how to implement it? SunTsu | 10:28 |
| SunTsu | hasher: see the url llutz gave you. Your tty should be /dev/rfcomm0 which you can use in e.g. wvdial and nm-applet should know it and be able to use it as a modem | 10:29 |
| SunTsu | hshow exactly depends on your mobile internet provider | 10:29 |
| lalagirl | llutz I LOVE YOU! | 10:29 |
| lalagirl | llutz I told you I would be back! | 10:30 |

| iceroot | llutz: for that there is "umount" :) | 10:31 |
| llutz | iceroot: that'll be followed by "mv $HOME somewhere/" i couldn't afford | 10:32 |
| hasher | hope thi is of some use http://imagebin.org/190509 | 10:32 |
| sorush20 | hi just wanted to know if there is a program out there that allowes batch folder time stamp and file time stam changing? | 10:33 |
| hasher | as you can see there is a serial port connected balloon on the top right side, can you tell me how to proceed? | 10:33 |
| iceroot | llutz: nice one :) | 10:33 |
| hasher | SunTsu, from where should i start? | 10:35 |
| SunTsu | hasher: you're half way there. Now use your network manager to create a new dialup connection, maybe as broadband mobile connection, using your mobile inter provider's data | 10:37 |
| Krissh | Hello | 10:38 |
| Krissh | Hello is anyone here? | 10:38 |

| SunTsu | sorush20: you can do that by means of find and touch - touch has a -t option to specify the date/time you want to set | 10:38 |
| llutz | hasher: sudo apt-get install modemmanager | 10:38 |
| SunTsu | hasher: is modem-manager installed/running? | 10:38 |
| hasher | dont know... | 10:39 |
| SunTsu | hasher: well, then find out. ps auxww|grep modem | 10:39 |

| Krissh | So is it possible for me to install Kubuntu | 10:42 |
| SunTsu | Krissh: you certainly can install ubuntu and do apt-get install kubuntu-desktop there | 10:42 |
| Krissh | but cant i install Kubutu sepratly throguh wubi? | 10:42 |
| Krissh | and have them both? | 10:43 |
| iceroot | Krissh: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 10:43 |
| iceroot | Krissh: no need for an extra installation of ubuntu | 10:43 |
| SunTsu | Krissh: kubuntu and ubuntu don't really differ much, what's the deal in having "both"? | 10:43 |
| Krissh | oh ok thanks | 10:44 |
| Krissh | Thank you :) and Thank You for your help will try this now :) | 10:44 |

| blocky | how can I set which session is started via autologin in 11.10? | 10:52 |
| SunTsu | hasher: try "modem-manager" instead of "modemmanager" | 10:53 |
| hasher | same error, SunTsu, do I have to edit every conf file? | 10:54 |
| SunTsu | hasher: please do ls -l /etc/init.d/*modem*|pastebinit | 10:57 |

| === fred_ is now known as Guest39839 | ||
| tiber | hi everybody | 11:08 |
| Guest39839 | SunTsu: Hello, see my details | 11:08 |
| SunTsu | hasher: no, you won't | 11:09 |
| Guest39839 | I will come back in a minute | 11:09 |
| tiber | i'm trying filtering my log file (/var/log/messages) by date with this command : echo /var/log/messages | grep `date` >> lol.txt ... but it doesn't work... please help . | 11:09 |
| SunTsu | tiber: first of all "cat somefile | grep something"is overkill, it's "grep somthing somefile". | 11:11 |
| chiiiiiz | test | 11:11 |
| tiber | ok | 11:12 |
| SunTsu | tiber: second: when running `date` you probably get spaces, which are command line separators | 11:12 |
| hasher | hope its useful... http://pastebin.com/JGzh0aaa | 11:13 |
| llutz | tiber: and date-format may differ from that one used in logfiles, depending on locale-settings | 11:14 |
| SunTsu | tiber: third: date probably hands out a different date format than you have in the log file, so you need to use date's format capability to model the same date format used in the log file | 11:14 |
| tiber | SunTsu - llutz: how do you would wrtite | 11:14 |
| tiber | SunTsu - llutz: how do you would write the line ? | 11:14 |
| === Energybender is now known as Guest70422 | ||
| llutz | tiber: 1st make sure "date" has the same format. grep "$(date -some-formats)" /var/log/messages | 11:16 |
| SunTsu | tiber: why do you want to filter to begin with? | 11:16 |
| tiber | SunTsu: i just installed sshd and i'd like to check all the logins :) | 11:17 |
| SunTsu | hasher: You should be able to add a mobile broadband connection now, the log says that it grabbed /dev/rfcomm0 as a modem | 11:17 |
| hasher | SunTsu, the nm-applet has disappeared from my panel, what to do? | 11:18 |
| SunTsu | tiber: then I'd rather use syslog's capabilities of creading a separate ssh.log, using newsyslog to rotate it daily | 11:18 |
| ix_ | hello, I've just deleted my partition table, any ideas? | 11:18 |
| SunTsu | hasher: did you restart network-manager? | 11:18 |
| SunTsu | ix_: use gpart to recover it | 11:18 |
| === Adys_ is now known as Adys | ||
| metaspike | lx_ create a new one with gparted, or use testdisk to recover it | 11:18 |
| tiber | SunTsu: yes ... i installed syslog-ng | 11:18 |
| hasher | no, tell me how to restart it | 11:18 |
| ribot | re | 11:19 |
| ix_ | SunTsu, I was just doing that, thank you | 11:19 |
| SunTsu | ix_: but beware, there's dragons ahead, better grab an image of your whole disk before doing that | 11:19 |
| tiber | SunTsu: but i'd like to be able to build a script by myself :P | 11:19 |
| chiiiiiz | ix: try TestDisk (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=testfile%20photorec&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCUQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cgsecurity.org%2Fwiki%2FTestDisk_Download&ei=rKn5TuyHPMaw8gPor-i9AQ&usg=AFQjCNF3zxalOKxAsYadV-vfWEDZq5XLcg&cad=rja) | 11:19 |
| ribot | is there some good ftp batch script out there, i want to do some local mysql dump and file backup, and then the script should upload it through sftp | 11:19 |
| ix_ | chiiiiiz, use url shorteners, please | 11:19 |
| chiiiiiz | I have spent my whole day with it, and it works well!! | 11:19 |
| sabgenton | how do I ask dpkg for packages containing the file bla? | 11:19 |
| chiiiiiz | sorry, not used to it... | 11:20 |
| SunTsu | tiber: if you want to be able to build that script yourself, why ask us how we would write the line? use man pages to figure it out yourself | 11:20 |
| sabgenton | actually expat.h | 11:20 |
| tiber | SunTsu: because i didn't successed | 11:20 |
| chiiiiiz | ix: http://tiny.cc/uo2e7 | 11:20 |
| hasher | the option is not there SunTsu | 11:20 |
| metaspike | sabgenton, dpkg-query -l | grep "foo" is one way | 11:21 |
| SunTsu | tiber: well, look at the log's date format, look at date's an page and just try. | 11:21 |
| ix_ | chiiiiiz, thanks | 11:21 |
| tiber | SunTsu: ok | 11:21 |
| ix_ | well, all this started from a bad grub configuration | 11:21 |
| ix_ | so I thought of deleting the mbr | 11:21 |
| almoxarife | tiber: what is the version of the machine doing the reading? | 11:21 |
| Leeds1 | Hey all, I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu, but I only have a knoppix live cd...can anyone tell me where to start? | 11:21 |
| hasher | if i close the terminal, the network manager button disappears | 11:22 |
| SunTsu | hasher: please run "sudo start network-manager" | 11:22 |
| chiiiiiz | ix: what does Gparted say? Does it find anything? | 11:22 |
| llutz | tiber: if you use "date" without any formats, it will include the actual time. this is very unlikely what you want to grep for in log-files | 11:22 |
| ix_ | chiiiiiz, gparted says that the partition table is gone with the wind | 11:22 |
| ix_ | but everything works fine | 11:23 |
| ix_ | until I reboot, of course | 11:23 |
| hasher | got it, but the bluetooth option is not there! SunTsu | 11:23 |
| SunTsu | tiber: another hint, you might want to set LANG=C just to be sure | 11:23 |
| metaspike | Leeds1, got any spare writeables? | 11:23 |
| metaspike | Leeds1, writable cds. | 11:23 |
| Leeds1 | loads, but I can't burn when I'm in a live session (my previous ubuntu install broke down completely) | 11:23 |
| SunTsu | hasher: forget about bluetooth, you handled the bluetooth part already. You need to add a dial up connection, modem connection, mobile broadband connection, however it's called for you | 11:24 |
| hasher | ok.. | 11:24 |
| hasher | now? | 11:24 |
| chiiiiiz | ix: whoa!! I would give a try at TestDisk... it will sweep the whole drive bit-after-bit, until it finds the structure (QuickSearch, takes approx. 2 hrs for 500 Gb), or until it finds a backup partition table or boot sector (DeeperSearch)... | 11:24 |
| SunTsu | hasher: you can do it whenever you like | 11:24 |
| hasher | how?thats the question | 11:25 |
| metaspike | Leeds1, when booting knoppix. boot with "knoppix toram" then you can eject the cd and write a new one once its loaded. | 11:25 |
| chiiiiiz | But maybe there is a faster solution, since you are still on, but I do not know this one... | 11:25 |
| SunTsu | hasher: I already told you that twice. Open your network manager, probably by ways of nm-applet and add a connection | 11:25 |
| chiiiiiz | Can anyone give me a hand with my 'find' problem? | 11:25 |
| SunTsu | chiiiiiz: you didn't tell us any detail | 11:26 |
| Leeds1 | ahhh thank you metaspike! I may be back | 11:26 |
| chiiiiiz | ix: after second thought, I am not sure TestDisk can sweep the partition that is currently running... | 11:26 |
| ix_ | right now gpart is scanning | 11:27 |
| chiiiiiz | Sorry, I had connection problems... thought I did it | 11:27 |
| hasher | http://imagebin.org/190516 SunTsu, the option is not showing up, there IS NO device man | 11:27 |
| ix_ | I wonder how much it will scan, my hdd is pretty small | 11:27 |

| hasher | I mean on that list, SunTsu | 11:27 |
| ix_ | chiiiiiz, I don't need photorec | 11:28 |
| ix_ | I still ahve everything | 11:28 |
| ix_ | have | 11:28 |
| chiiiiiz | I am trying to sort them by mime type, one type per directory. Here is my command: | 11:28 |
| SunTsu | hasher: just add your isp's details in there | 11:28 |
| chiiiiiz | find -iname "*.doc" -exec cp {} /home/fred/partition/RECUPFILES/doc/\; | 11:28 |
| hasher | i added everything u can think off[ in that window atleast] | 11:28 |
| chiiiiiz | but it returns "missing parameter for "-exec" | 11:28 |
| bps_ | 1 | 11:29 |
| bps_ | root | 11:29 |
| SunTsu | chiiiiiz: just add a space in front of your \; | 11:30 |
| chiiiiiz | ix: any chance to make an image of your HDD on another hdd? It is also possible with TestDisk! | 11:30 |
| ix_ | this is a laptop and I don't have what I need for that | 11:31 |
| hasher | SunTsu, can you assist me remotely? | 11:31 |
| ix_ | I don't have an external HDD, that would be easy | 11:31 |
| chiiiiiz | ooh!! That simple? | 11:31 |
| SunTsu | hasher: I refuse to, I already took you by the hand for over an hour | 11:31 |
| chiiiiiz | SunTsu: it works! Thanks! | 11:32 |
| hasher | i think it will be quick and sweatless SunTsu if you agree for remote assistance | 11:32 |
| SunTsu | chiiiiiz: without it find takes that semicolon as part of your path specification, couldn't separate it | 11:32 |
| manchot | salut | 11:32 |
| SunTsu | hasher: ask another time and I'll put you onto ignore | 11:33 |
| hasher | ok.... | 11:33 |
| SunTsu | hasher: do your mobile internet connection details? | 11:33 |
| SunTsu | know even | 11:33 |
| manchot | good a channel in english | 11:33 |
| hasher | yeah i know... | 11:34 |
| chiiiiiz | SunTsu: ok, now I have to write the code to have it done automatically, with all kinds of mime types... | 11:34 |
| SunTsu | chiiiiiz: for extension in doc pdf xls <and so on>; do mkdir /home/fred/partition/RECUPFILES/$extension; find . -iname \*.$extension -exec cp {} /home/fred/partition/RECUPFILES/$extension/ \; ; done | 11:36 |
| manchot | what's the command that allows record the web page into shell ? | 11:36 |
| hasher | SunTsu, i gave you the pastebin link in that the last line it says ignoring rfcomm [ no associated Bluetooth device] why is it so? | 11:36 |
| SunTsu | manchot: wget? curl? | 11:37 |
| chiiiiiz | SunTsu: thanks | 11:37 |
| almoxarife | hasher: what 'exactly' are you trying to accomplish, not what you think you need to do to get there, but exactly what would be accomplished when complete? | 11:37 |
| manchot | SunTsu: ok think you i test | 11:38 |
| hasher | i am trying to get an average internet connection from dialup | 11:38 |
| SunTsu | hasher: I don't know why it does it, maybe pasting dmesg and/or /dev/log/syslog might shine a light on it | 11:39 |
| almoxarife | hasher: how was shutting down network manager going to get that done? | 11:40 |
| hasher | how do I get a log? | 11:40 |
| SunTsu | almoxarife: it was done to get debug log files, we already restarted it again | 11:40 |
| SunTsu | hasher: you really should try to get some linux basics | 11:41 |
| SunTsu | hasher: they are at /var/log | 11:41 |
| hasher | how do I get the log files?tell me man I am very weak in linux am trying to learn all the way up.... | 11:42 |
| almoxarife | hasher: reboot your system, I can't see you restoring from a shutdown of network-manager | 11:42 |
| SunTsu | hasher: somebody else might need to take it from here, almoxarife seems to have volunteered for that | 11:43 |
| hasher | i got it!! SunTsu | 11:43 |
| hasher | pasting it | 11:43 |
| SunTsu | almoxarife: he did, when I told him to "sudo start network-manager". And why would one need to reboot the computer for that? | 11:43 |
| almoxarife | SunTsu: he got it, no need | 11:44 |
| hasher | http://pastebin.com/HPcwDgib SunTsu | 11:44 |
| hasher | http://pastebin.com/HPcwDgib SunTsu | 11:45 |
| SunTsu | hasher: btw. you probably need to pair your telefone to the computer in order to have rfcomm0 finding a suitable bluetooth device | 11:46 |
| hasher | i have paired it SunTsu | 11:47 |
| SunTsu | hasher: did you connect it and is it connected currently? | 11:47 |
| hasher | it is connected | 11:47 |
| SunTsu | hasher: does it allow for modem usage? | 11:47 |
| hasher | yeah | 11:48 |
| hasher | very much so | 11:48 |
| hasher | how do I edit rfcomm0.conf? | 11:49 |
| SunTsu | hasher: did your do sudo /usr/bin/rfcomm bind? | 11:49 |
| hasher | should I be editing that file in the first place? | 11:49 |
| SunTsu | hasher: please, try to grab some basic linux knowledge as soon as you can | 11:49 |
| hasher | sure, if someone tells me then, can u tell psz | 11:50 |
| SunTsu | hasher: sudoedit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf | 11:50 |
| hasher | http://imagebin.org/190518 SunTsu | 11:52 |
| SunTsu | hasher: anyway, I really need to be going, spending too much time here already | 11:52 |
| hasher | is that ok can u tell me? | 11:52 |
| hasher | what's wrong? can u tell me? are we missing something? | 11:54 |
| SunTsu | hasher: except of the stray space before that semicolon, and me not knowing of channel 11 would work, it looks quite OK. | 11:55 |
| SunTsu | hasher: but, as I said, I need to be going, good look with it | 11:55 |
| hasher | ok thanks | 11:55 |

| yabai | teemo: then apt-get install | 12:16 |
| ribot | llutz: thanks | 12:16 |
| chiiiiiz | find ~/folder/ -type f -name *.jpg | xargs stat -c %s | awk '{a+=$1;print a}' |tail -1 | 12:17 |
| yabai | Amdpc: think google offerstthat kind of service | 12:17 |
| chiiiiiz | gives you the sum of the size of all jpg files included in the 'folder' | 12:17 |
| Amdpc | yabai : What do I have to do for it ? | 12:18 |
| yabai | Amdpc: check this: http://www.google.com/mobile/sms/ | 12:19 |
| lalagirl | !hello | 12:19 |
| makalo10 | hello | 12:20 |
| chiiiiiz | One more question: I do list my jpg with find, and I want the output of the find command to be written in a text file.... | 12:20 |
| ix_ | ;) | 12:20 |
| chiiiiiz | Problem: it does not list beyond 63536 lines... how can I have more than that? | 12:20 |
| llutz | chiiiiiz: find bla >textfile | 12:20 |
| ix_ | chiiiiiz, I recovered my partition table with testdisk | 12:20 |
| chiiiiiz | llutz: i did it, but I have "only" the first 63536 lines... and I know there are more... | 12:21 |
| chiiiiiz | ix: good to hear it!! | 12:21 |
| teemo | yabai: so i installed them and its still not working | 12:21 |
| teemo | where did u get the list of dependencies from? | 12:22 |
| yabai | teemo: sorry...got no more ideas for you. | 12:22 |
| chiiiiiz | this comes from a limitation in textfiles, I think... any way to solve this problem? | 12:23 |
| llutz | chiiiiiz: "man split" | 12:23 |

| ichbinder | yabai: well, I know and use screen and it was developed at my university. They'd kill me if I wouldn't use it. ;) But yeah, I specifically mean my guy desktop session... probably, #gnome or so might be a better place to ask... | 12:32 |

| ichbinder | yabai: thanks for answering! | 12:33 |
| ichbinder | michalchik: nope. | 12:33 |
| lalagirl | michalchik: not at all | 12:33 |
| michalchik | They have never worked properly for me. 3 different computers, 4 differnt OS's. | 12:33 |
| lalagirl | michalchik: and it was supposed to be a question | 12:34 |
| ichbinder | michalchik: well, it *worked* properly for me | 12:34 |
| michalchik | They crash, f'up my pass words, take hours to send me resets and whne they do they don't f'ing owrk | 12:34 |
| oCean | michalchik: if you have to obfuscate your words, don't use them | 12:34 |
| michalchik | Well would people rather nothave me swear at all or not censor at all? | 12:35 |
| michalchik | self-censor | 12:35 |
| oCean | michalchik: don't swear at all here | 12:36 |
| ichbinder | michalchik: But: I personally hate all those systems that just make it a bit more complicated to illegaly play games... I mean, I bought a game, legally! Payed like $60 for it. Then, my friends get it illegally, play it together. I can't join them with my legal version as it won't let me use their VPN network. So either I get illegal to play with my friends or I play alone... And that was even developed by Valve... | 12:36 |
| yabai | ichbinder: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/xsm.1.html | 12:36 |
| ichbinder | yabai: uh, nice! that sounds like what I was looking for!!! | 12:37 |
| michalchik | Yeah, I bought mass effect 2 legally and tried to buy the DLC through steam Legally, it messed up my install so bad I could buy it and had to get the pirate copy just to play what I bought. | 12:37 |

| lalagirl | ichbinder: but you're still talking about it | 12:39 |

| yabai | dmtarmey: i guess thats the point | 12:40 |
| gribouille | why is firefox 9 available only in ubuntu-mozilla-security? | 12:41 |
| zaikxtox | hi. question... i have a system with ubuntu 9.10. from some time to now i was unable to find mirrors for apt repository | 12:41 |
| michalchik | I am a complete ubuntu newbie though I have been messing around with computers for decades. Can I ask some dumb questions? | 12:41 |
| zaikxtox | where could they be found? | 12:41 |
| zaikxtox | michalchik, dumb questions are the best one's . go ahead | 12:41 |
| michalchik | Thx | 12:41 |
| oCean | zaikxtox: that's because 9.10 is EOL, repositories moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com | 12:42 |
| lalagirl | !help | 12:42 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:42 |
| michalchik | So I am coming over from windows andI really know virtually noneof the basics, si I figure. HmmmI'll try to lean by installing a game | 12:42 |
| === gorizza is now known as diskord | ||
| zaikxtox | that's what i needed to know! thanks a lot oCean | 12:42 |
| Pricey | michalchik: If you're looking to use Ubuntu as a "replacement" for Windows... to run Windows games... you should stick with WIndows. | 12:43 |
| michalchik | OK I try to install runes of magiv a gold game by WINE HQ, it says it requires IE7 but I keep getting errors, something about language missing. What do i do now? | 12:44 |
| dmtarmey | yabai have you tried it | 12:44 |
| lalagirl | michalchik Windows, PC in general is a gaming platform as well | 12:44 |
| fizyplankton | i just installed a new graphics card and after about 14 hours of xorging, the network manager applet has a different icon. rather than a dark icon like the default, it has a white icon, like a different theme. it looks terrible, and is almost impossible to read on the white background. does anyone know how to force it back to normal? | 12:44 |
| yabai | dmtarmey: nope | 12:44 |
| lalagirl | michalchik Ubuntu wouldn't really have the games you're looking for | 12:44 |
| oCean | michalchik: there's a free download for the ubuntu 10.10 guide http://ubuntu-manual.org/ - even though it's 10.10, lot's of the info is still very useful. Also see help.ubuntu.com | 12:45 |
| yabai | michalchik: you may be happier with Windows...wine w/ many apps is sort of a comprimise | 12:45 |
| ichbinder | michalchik: Linux, hence also Ubuntu, cannot make use of DirectX, a graphical base that most modern games need. Only OpenGL games will smoothly run in linux, maybe even natively. Else, you will need to use wine, which can be very annoying or not easy to do. So for gaming, stay with windows. For everything else, go with linux!! :) | 12:45 |
| odst0016 | very true thats the only reason windows is on my machine | 12:46 |
| michalchik | So just do the duel boot thing? | 12:46 |
| yabai | michalchik: i'm sure there are some great linux games | 12:46 |
| lalagirl | michalchik: that would be a good option | 12:46 |
| lalagirl | michalchik use wubi | 12:47 |
| lalagirl | !wubi | michalchik | 12:47 |
| ubottu | michalchik: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe | 12:47 |
| michalchik | Yeah, I am trying to move off windows, first because I hate monopolies and second because my damnmachine crashed about 5 times last year and got a couple tojans | 12:47 |
| ichbinder | michalchik: that's how I'd do it. I mean, if you want to learn a bit about wine, install games like "Planescape: Torment", "Final Fantasy 7", "Counterstrike 1.6", or games of similar age. But you won't be able to play more modern directX based games, afaik. | 12:47 |
| odst0016 | if you want an easier way to install games you can install playonlinux | 12:48 |
| odst0016 | it does it for you | 12:48 |
| gribouille | when will firefox 9 be available? | 12:48 |
| ichbinder | yabai, michalchik: nice linux games include "Spring" for Strategy or Sauerbraten for Online Ego-Shooter. | 12:48 |
| lalagirl | !firefox | 12:48 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion | To install plugins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins | 12:48 |
| michalchik | Well half my reason for trying to install a game is to learn about linus | 12:48 |
| zaikxtox | michaelni, there are some thing at which windows excels, like games support. if you already have a windows license just use it for that! Like having a wii. Works great for that. | 12:48 |
| ichbinder | michalchik: but installing a game won't teach you anything about linux. ;) | 12:49 |
| lalagirl | !linus | 12:49 |
| odst0016 | just how to follow directions lol | 12:49 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest36083 | ||
| michalchik | Well, if that is true I guess I won't then | 12:49 |
| yabai | ichbinder: thanks...not a gamer... | 12:49 |
| dmtarmey | yabai do you know a know a version optermised for game playing | 12:49 |
| yabai | dmtarmey: nope. i'm not a gamer, but any linux distro could be optimized for gaming | 12:50 |
| michalchik | So I got the latest version of ununti as of about a week ago. 11.10? I think. Is it the best version to go with? | 12:50 |
| odst0016 | saboyan use to have an optimized gaming versoin | 12:50 |
| yabai | dmtarmey: ubuntu probably a good distro, lot of community support | 12:50 |
| odst0016 | idk if they have updated it | 12:51 |
| michalchik | So why do you folks use Ubuntu | 12:51 |
| odst0016 | the community | 12:51 |
| zaikxtox | michalchik, I have 10 people with thinclients | 12:51 |
| zaikxtox | they boot the main ubuntu server OS from net | 12:52 |
| zaikxtox | and so i can manage everything in the same place, they share resources, etc. | 12:52 |
| ichbinder | michalchik: if you are a true linux noob, start with Ubuntu and you'll learn some stuff about linux. Maybe, do not use Unity but something less fancy, like Xfce or even KDE. Or, if it's no problem for you if you might also have to reinstall your windows, i.e. if you don't have much data on it or all of it is securly backed up, you can also try to install a more complex linux distro like Arch Linux. You'll learn more about basic | 12:52 |
| ichbinder | linux ideas during the installion then with Ubunut, imho, and the community and documentation is very good. But well, it's more complicated and you'll have to start off with a terminal only and setup everything else by hand. | 12:52 |
| zaikxtox | michalchik, my wife uses it because she doesn't like windows but there is no MacOSX for ther netbook, and liked it | 12:52 |
| zaikxtox | michalchik, my mother because it's easy and don't get messed up as often as her old windowsXP... it depends | 12:53 |
| xuser1 | hi | 12:53 |
| zaikxtox | michalchik, I personally like it being like debian in many ways, that is my true love from servers experience and realtime audio processing | 12:53 |
| xuser1 | how can i install awn in u untu oneiric (LAST VERSION)? | 12:54 |
| Stanley00 | !info awn | 12:54 |
| ubottu | Package awn does not exist in oneiric | 12:54 |
| ichbinder | michalchik: various reasons, I guess. It's safer, less vulnerable. It's easier to install than most other distros. Sometimes it's also because the environment your working community uses is all ubuntu, etc. Basically, Ubuntu gives you all the advantages of Linux while keeping it rather simple and straight forward to install and use, hence also faster for starters. | 12:54 |
| zaikxtox | yes xuser1 . actually awm + xfwm4 is my choice | 12:54 |
| michalchik | I actually installed Ubuntu on my my mother old machine after her windows installation blew up> she just wanted to surf and use email so I figured that would be easy to get going. She is 82 and happy with it. | 12:54 |
| zaikxtox | ubottu, avant-window-navigator | 12:54 |
| xuser1 | what is xfwm4 ? | 12:55 |
| zaikxtox | michalchik, exactly. today is not like years ago where windows was crap, osX just for graphic design and linux for server farms. | 12:55 |
| michalchik | Windows also gets real slow after a while. Does Ubuntu shoke on its own garbage or does it keeps itslef togther over time? Good trash collection and othert maintainance routines. | 12:55 |
| zaikxtox | michalchik, every sistem has grown up a lot and it's more a matter of tastes | 12:55 |
| zaikxtox | xuser1, the xfce window manager. it has a composition engine (true transparency, shadows) but it's far more lightweight than compiz | 12:56 |
| zaikxtox | michalchik, it's less prone to that. | 12:56 |
| xuser1 | i want use awn for replace gnome 3 | 12:56 |
| zaikxtox | far less prone. | 12:56 |
| lalagirl | !info avant-window-navigator | 12:56 |
| ubottu | avant-window-navigator (source: avant-window-navigator): A MacOS X like panel for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1~bzr822-0ubuntu4 (oneiric), package size 341 kB, installed size 1152 kB | 12:56 |
| zaikxtox | xuser1, yep. i did it. it works wonderful even inside a VirtualBox | 12:57 |
| michalchik | Well so far it seems a lot more stable and faster. | 12:57 |
| xuser1 | where can i get last version of awn ? | 12:57 |
| xuser1 | any ppa?\ | 12:57 |
| michalchik | Firefox still crashes but I think that is because of an add-on that I like, | 12:57 |
| xuser1 | :-D | 12:57 |
| zaikxtox | michalchik, in many ways. but i know that windows 7 is a good product. much better thatn XP and Vista. You just have to try it for a while and see how comfortable you feel at it. | 12:57 |
| Pricey | michalchik: It depends on how you maintain it. If you install random crap from every which place, anything will get slow. | 12:58 |
| yabai | xuser1: :-P google is your friend | 12:58 |
| zaikxtox | xuser1, the one in 11.10 is quite good anyway | 12:58 |
| lalagirl | xuser1 try sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator | 12:58 |
| Pricey | michalchik: Have you been introduced to the concept of "repositories" yet, and why adding 3rd party ones is a bad idea? | 12:58 |
| Pricey | michalchik: Infact, installing anything from a 3rd party is usually a bad idea if its available in the Ubuntu ones. | 12:58 |
| lalagirl | !google | yabai | 12:58 |
| ubottu | yabai: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 12:58 |

| r_a_f | lol :P | 13:05 |
| hroi | r_a_f: you need to have enough space on your external disk | 13:05 |
| andygraybeal | i use rsync :) | 13:05 |
| hroi | r_a_f: wait, also use cp -rv just to see what is going on | 13:05 |
| hroi | r_a_f: not cp -r, usr cp -rv | 13:05 |
| llutz | cp -ax | 13:05 |
| andygraybeal | i rsync from all my computers to one location then use bacula to throw it onto tape | 13:06 |
| andygraybeal | tape is old though | 13:06 |
| r_a_f | ok I have big external | 13:06 |
| michalchik | well, goodnigh folks. thanks | 13:06 |
| hroi | r_a_f: if you do this regularly, then you should use rsync as andygraybeal does. | 13:06 |
| andygraybeal | yea, i have mine in cron jobs | 13:07 |
| andygraybeal | every night :( | 13:07 |
| andygraybeal | errr :) | 13:07 |
| r_a_f | huhu ok then , I'll try rsync | 13:07 |
| hroi | wait, does cp -rv and rasync -R see hidden files? Im not sure about that... | 13:08 |
| llutz | hroi: they do | 13:09 |
| hroi | r_a_f: llutz: llutz has the right command you need cp -rav | 13:09 |
| hroi | llutz: but need -a, right? | 13:09 |

| frewo | llutz: no problems with symlinks and hardlinks? | 13:11 |
| usuario | hola! | 13:11 |
| r_a_f | hroi: yea - I must reformat my partition so... | 13:11 |
| hroi | r_a_f: only use sudo if you must backup / | 13:12 |
| LjL | usuario: please don't flood | 13:12 |
| usuario | claro,claro | 13:12 |
| llutz | frewo: -a includes -d and " -d same as --no-dereference --preserve=links" | 13:12 |
| usuario | k si k mu bn | 13:12 |
| frewo | llutz: thx | 13:12 |
| LjL | usuario: and english please | 13:12 |
| hroi | r_a_f: hmm. maybe you want to take an image of your hard drive partition? thats more complicated | 13:12 |
| usuario | ok | 13:12 |
| LjL | usuario: /join #ubuntu-es if you want spanish | 13:12 |
| hroi | r_a_f: and you cant just copy back your backup onto your disk after reformatting the partition. | 13:13 |
| llutz | frewo: if you want to be sure about hardlinks, use rsync -Haux ... | 13:13 |
| hroi | r_a_f: it wont boot | 13:13 |
| usuario | have you silly? | 13:13 |
| usuario | are you silly? | 13:13 |
| usuario | are you silly | 13:13 |
| hroi | llutz: frewo: r_a_f wants to reformat his partiton and copy back his files.... :S | 13:13 |
| frewo | hroi: ah, ok | 13:14 |
| hroi | llutz: frewo: any suggestions on how to do that right so that his computer will boot | 13:14 |
| r_a_f | ok - i just backup my /home | 13:14 |
| llutz | hroi: backup /etc, $HOME and maybe some parts of /var, reinstall, restore files from backup | 13:14 |
| r_a_f | rest will be installed again | 13:14 |
| llutz | !clone | r_a_f if you want to install same stuff as before | 13:15 |
| ubottu | r_a_f if you want to install same stuff as before: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 13:15 |
| frewo | hroi: a always used clonezilla. but rsync within live, as llutz sayas, sounds interessting to try | 13:15 |
| r_a_f | huhu ok BIG thanks for all of you ;) | 13:16 |
| hroi | r_a_f: here you can always a simple and direct answer :S | 13:16 |

| suman_ | I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 in my machine | 13:18 |
| suman_ | some times my machine is haging because of lot of requests | 13:18 |

| lalagirl | DarkStar1 i think so | 13:38 |
| lalagirl | DarkStar1 not so sure though | 13:39 |
| DarkStar1 | lalagirl: ok thx | 13:39 |
| Stanley00 | DarkStar1: you can, via ccsm | 13:39 |
| DarkStar1 | Stanley00: so not natively possible | 13:40 |
| Stanley00 | DarkStar1: or gconftool... | 13:40 |
| Stanley00 | DarkStar1: it is natively, IMO | 13:40 |
| DarkStar1 | Stanley00: As it is my installation is not stable. Don't want to add to it's quirkiness :) | 13:40 |
| Stanley00 | DarkStar1: the key for gconftool is at /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/show_desktop_edge | 13:42 |

| DarkStar1 | smokycat: Well I can't seem to access it in unity | 13:43 |
| Stanley00 | DarkStar1: gconftool is a command, type it in terminal. | 13:44 |
| smokycat | oh sorry | 13:44 |
| Stanley00 | DarkStar1: if you dont used to command line, you could try gconf-editor, or ccsm | 13:44 |

| happy21 | i just played with it and confugured but not getting how to know | 13:55 |
| Stanley00 | dmtarmey: you should open soft ware source, remove that cdrom source, and readd if you want. | 13:55 |

| bullgard4 | sedeki: The message "ACPI: Deprecated procfs I/F for battery is loaded, please retry with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER cleared" is relevant. But I do not know a remedy. It is probably wise to repeat your question and this message in an Ubuntu mailing list. | 14:21 |

| LjL | mintux: are you connecting from a company? if so, you're probably behind a proxy | 14:34 |
| mintux | CipherX: I don't do anything with my system . how can I know that? | 14:34 |
| CipherX | mintux: don't know where...just a thought... | 14:35 |
| mintux | LjL: maybe that company | 14:35 |
| f310 | hello all good morning. | 14:35 |
| mintux | LjL: I have notebook if I got same thing the problem is form my DSL provider ? | 14:35 |
| CipherX | mintux: if you haven't changed anything "apt-get install <package-name>" should work find.... | 14:35 |
| supuers | hello | 14:35 |
| f310 | to stop a service from running at boot time, the command "service (SERVICE) stop" is enought? | 14:36 |
| CipherX | mintux: otherwise, something is configured wrong or you have a proxy or firewall blocking your connection | 14:36 |
| mintux | CipherX: but it doesn't also update my package how can it install anything ? | 14:36 |
| Flamekebab | Is anyone willing to help me setup an email server? (Dovecot, Postfix, that sort of thing) | 14:36 |
| LjL | mintux: not sure what you're saying. if you have the problem with your home DSL connection, then it's probably not a proxy. | 14:36 |
| istiaque | hi,, i am new in ubuntu 11.04 , how can i use c language? is it possible? | 14:36 |
| venkatmangudi | f310, look up starup programs | 14:36 |
| mellpatr | venkatmangudi, I m searching about 'dists' at all files from source.list.d and source.list.. but i havent found the correct line to comment.. | 14:36 |
| LjL | istiaque: of course it's possible. install "build-essential" and then you can compile C code. you may of course want an IDE to edit code, there are several available. | 14:37 |
| LjL | !code | istiaque | 14:37 |

| supuers | yes you can use c | 14:37 |
| mintux | LjL: how can I found out the firewall or anything is on my system? | 14:37 |
| LjL | mintux: try "echo $HTTP_PROXY $http_proxy" | 14:37 |
| f310 | venkatmangudi, there is nothing about it. I am using the last version o ubuntu, if that helps ^.^ | 14:37 |
| CipherX | mintux: it's just an example....but you're right if it's not getting the package there's a problem, just trying to figure out what's wrong.... | 14:37 |
| mintux | the output is http://127.0.0.1:0/ | 14:38 |
| LjL | mintux: then you're using a proxy, and an invalid one at that. | 14:38 |
| istiaque | <LjL<ubottu thanks.. | 14:38 |
| LjL | mintux: the output should be empty | 14:38 |

| Metroshica | is nagios part of the repository? if so, how much configuration is needed after installation? | 14:43 |
| mintux | sudo ufw status | 14:43 |

| CipherX | then I add a default deny all incoming rule | 14:45 |
| supuers | no it states active thanks again | 14:45 |
| CipherX | works for pretty much anything that isn't a server | 14:45 |
| CipherX | supuers: make sure you have rules set up | 14:46 |
| CipherX | supuers: just having an active firewall guarantees nothing | 14:46 |
| supuers | I just set up rules to deny incoming | 14:46 |

| faLUCE | CipherX: which is the command? | 14:57 |
| sedeki | bullgard4, no problem. | 14:58 |
| CipherX | faLUCE: fdisk is the command, but not sure exactly how to make it do a fat 16 | 14:58 |
| dr_willis | you use fdisk to make parittions, then mkfs to format as needed faLUCE . or use gparted for a nice gui tool | 14:58 |
| LjL | CipherX: fdisk doesn't format... | 14:58 |
| CipherX | ah, there you go | 14:58 |
| LjL | CipherX, faLUCE: mkfs is the command, with -t msdos i think | 14:58 |
| CipherX | LjL: ok | 14:59 |
| owenll | sudo mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/sdb ? | 14:59 |
| dr_willis | owenll: it would be sdb1 most likely | 14:59 |
| CipherX | like dr_willis said, gparted is really nice, if you have a gui running... | 15:00 |
| faLUCE | owenll: mkdosfs: unable to open /dev/sdb | 15:01 |
| Visual` | faLUCE: are you root ? | 15:01 |
| dr_willis | making a flesystem would require sudo/root rights of course. | 15:02 |
| dr_willis | to access the device.. and its MOST likely /dev/sdb1 | 15:02 |
| jmscomtech | how do i set the unity launcher to open all the time? | 15:02 |
| CipherX | faLUCE: need to be root and it may be /dev/sdb1? | 15:02 |
| dr_willis | jmscomtech: the ccsm tool has plugin settings to make thepanel not hide. | 15:02 |

| CipherX | tell me what you get when you type mount /dev/sdb1 | 15:04 |
| CipherX | the os may already have done it for you | 15:05 |
| faLUCE | if I umount I obtain the same error | 15:05 |
| CipherX | ?? | 15:05 |
| dr_willis | then its not unmounted... | 15:05 |
| dr_willis | or its remounting. | 15:05 |
| CipherX | can't umount on the device can you? think you have to umount on the mount point | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | sudo umount /dev/sdb1 | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | or.. just use gparted | 15:06 |

| oCean | muzone: if it works for other sites, how is this an #ubuntu issue? | 15:10 |
| dr_willis | jmscomtech: its in the unity plugin settings in the ccsm tool. | 15:10 |

| dr_willis | unity2d does not use compiz. its basically a seperate app with its own settings. | 15:12 |
| dr_willis | ive heard that some day compiz will also work for non-3d acellerated setups so the 2 unitys would get merged then. but not sure if thats going to happen in the next releae or not. | 15:13 |

| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 15:31 |
| jmscomtech | thankyou soo much dr_willis | 15:31 |
| CipherX | I like vim or nano | 15:31 |
| dr_willis | jmscomtech: i often install grub to the mbr of a small flash drive - as a 'fallback' grub in case the system gets messed up. | 15:31 |
| fishcooker | no dr_willis.. actually i want migrate n use server kernel | 15:32 |

| muzone | dr_willis: its got less stuff in it | 15:34 |
| oCean | muzone: no, you follow our channel's guidelines or may leave | 15:35 |
| dr_willis | with the kernel use of modules, not sure it would matter. | 15:35 |
| sskalnik | dr_willis: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/preparing-to-install.html#intro-kernel-diffs | 15:35 |
| dr_willis | but the anwer is the same i guess.. install the kernel you want via the package manager tools. | 15:35 |
| muzone | dr_willis: you do have a good point | 15:35 |
| dr_willis | Theres been a trend to reduce the # of kernels avail. Theres even discussion of making the pae kernel the default for 32bit installs.. but that may be 2+ releases down the road. | 15:36 |
| muzone | dr_willis: personally though, i think it's a bad idea to use ubuntu if your server servers thousands / millions of users | 15:36 |
| muzone | with hundreds / thousands of dollars depending on it running flawless | 15:36 |
| muzone | if that is the case, i would switch to freebsd | 15:36 |
| muzone | its older, more mature and more naturally structured | 15:37 |

| sskalnik | I have built a package that installs a kernel module (among other things). The package (at least the module) needs to be rebuilt for each new kernel. However, the target systems need to be lean, with no build tools or dkms... what are my options? I'm thinking that a vm with build tools + a script that rebuilds the package when a new kernel is released, then sends it to a local apt repo. Am I going down the wrong path? | 15:41 |

| yeats | Torgen: what's your question? | 17:03 |
| Somelauw | Will it override or try to replace or try to uninstall networkmanager? | 17:03 |

| Torgen | I got the ISO onto a pendrive, but the installer 'suggests' 4.4G of storage and a net connection | 17:04 |
| Torgen | but 'continue' is greyed so it's not really a suggestion | 17:04 |
| yeats | Torgen: how much storage do you have? | 17:04 |
| Torgen | it's ssd, so 4 GB should mean 4 GiB, but the util says 3.6GB | 17:05 |
| llutz | Flamekebab: then check /etc/rsyslog.d/ for "postfix.conf" or create one like this http://pastebin.com/WewrRFKx . Also check /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf for "log_path ....", make sure theres a logfile set. restart postfix, dovecot, rsyslog after this | 17:05 |
| krasnozer | Somelauw: not uninstall, just desactivate at launch, you can switch between them at any time by start/stoping the apropiate services | 17:05 |
| yeats | Torgen: you could try the alternate installer, which may not have that requirement to continue | 17:05 |
| Torgen | I mean, why would someone make an ssd and not use a power of 2? | 17:05 |
| llutz | Flamekebab: you won't find your issues without logs | 17:05 |
| yeats | !alternate | Torgen | 17:05 |
| ubottu | Torgen: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 17:05 |
| edbian | Torgen, does it say 4 Giga-bits? giga-bits != giga-bytes | 17:05 |
| Flamekebab | llutz, I rebooted the server and the mail logs are there now | 17:06 |
| Torgen | it's bytes | 17:06 |
| edbian | Torgen, mmmm strange. Filesystem overhead? | 17:06 |
| Torgen | possible? | 17:06 |
| dr_willis | i did a full install of lubuntu onto a 4gb usb flash drive.. | 17:06 |
| dr_willis | just not much room for actual work. | 17:06 |
| Somelauw | krasnozer: If I install wicd, is there a way to revert the change? | 17:06 |
| edbian | Torgen, yeah, ext4 e.g. uses like 8% storage | 17:07 |
| Torgen | also, it says 'available'... not sure if it's counting the stuff that's already on the disk against the quota, when it's just going to end up formatted | 17:07 |
| edbian | Torgen, or something | 17:07 |
| occupy417 | Quick question; After doing update yesterday ubuntuone is hogging mem / cpu, had to killall -9 the syncdeamon just to get desktop to respond anyone else having issue's? | 17:07 |
| llutz | Flamekebab: to track down smtp-issues, you also want to have a look at the very unintuitive http://www.jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/ | 17:07 |
| Torgen | the existing hardy install got into some weird state where it claimed it had updates downloaded but couldn't install them | 17:07 |
| MonkeyDust | occupy417 that's a yes/no question | 17:08 |
| Torgen | possibly related to the small ssd | 17:08 |
| Flamekebab | llutz, for now SMTP is the only thing working properly | 17:08 |
| krasnozer | Somelauw: yes with update-rc.d for instance | 17:08 |
| edbian | Torgen, weird (4Gb is probably not enough for your OS) | 17:08 |
| edbian | Torgen, even most linux | 17:08 |
| Metroshica | what does update-rc.d do exactly? | 17:09 |
| occupy417 | MonkeyDust, lol ok I'll make it simple, is there a known bug with a fix :) all I can find is OLD bugs | 17:09 |
| Torgen | it's possible the whole thing was ill-considered on Dell's part | 17:09 |
| Torgen | I think they stopped offering linux netbooks soon after | 17:09 |
| Gentoo64 | Torgen, do you have a 4gb drive? :s | 17:09 |
| edbian | Metroshica, puts things in /etc/init.d/ marks them executable and links them to the correct runlevel folder /etc/rcX.d/ | 17:09 |
| === seanr is now known as seanr|away | ||
| Somelauw | If it doesn't work, I have no wired network to fall back to. | 17:09 |
| Torgen | I only got it because there was a promotion where you could get a cheap netbook with the purchase of a real PC | 17:09 |
| edbian | Torgen, do you have a problem you want us to help solve? | 17:10 |
| Torgen | I'm downloading the alternate ISO, so we'll see how that works | 17:10 |
| krasnozer | Somelauw: be careful then lol do you know how to start/stop services ? | 17:10 |
| Somelauw | krasnozer: I do. | 17:10 |
| somsip | 0/quit | 17:11 |
| edbian | Metroshica, At least, that is how to manually create a boot time script | 17:11 |
| genii-around | Metroshica: It adds entries into /etc/rc1.d /etc/rc2.d and so forth to run something or not at specified runlevels ( depending on the arguments you fed it) | 17:11 |
| Gentoo64 | Torgen, archlinux i found to be very small for a "proper" distro, you can get gnome 3 and loads more takes up ~2gb | 17:11 |
| Somelauw | sudo service NetworkManager start | 17:11 |
| Torgen | since I'm going to give the thing to my mom, installing to a flash drive and requiring her to have it plugged in probably won't fly | 17:11 |
| krasnozer | Somelauw: thats right you'll be fine | 17:12 |
| Torgen | Is archlinux user-friendly enough for my not-very-technical mom? | 17:13 |
| Torgen | I suspect not | 17:13 |
| edbian | Torgen, not really :P | 17:13 |
| Gentoo64 | Torgen, well you could install it.. | 17:13 |
| Gentoo64 | then let her use it | 17:13 |
| Somelauw | Torgen: Maybe if you install it for her. | 17:13 |
| edbian | Torgen, but their docs are excellent for technical users | 17:14 |
| Somelauw | And install an easy wm/de. | 17:14 |
| MonkeyDust | Torgen Linux Mint is the easiest for non-tech moms | 17:14 |
| pikaciu | Torgen: Linpus is very easy | 17:14 |
| edbian | He needs something easy and under 4Gb | 17:15 |
| llutz | Flamekebab: as i said earlier, send a mail and watch the logs to findout where it hangs | 17:15 |

| edbian | wine is not a virtual machine :) | 17:18 |
| edbian | JohnJohn, sure | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | worse case in wine.. they mess with the users files... so a vmachine would be even more secure. :) for the truely paranoid, i think ive seen vbox have some copy on write, (cow?) type feature that puts all changes made to the os - in a seperate file. any virus dirty deeds could then be undone. | 17:19 |
| edbian | cow haha | 17:19 |

| johann | I am trying to get my eBooks working of a format .acsm (Adobe Digital Editions) but I'm not getting it to work. | 17:24 |
| edbian | johann, working 'of a format' ? | 17:24 |
| jutnux | Just keep it as .epub or .mobi. | 17:25 |
| johann | @jutnux: Won't work, this is the only extension I can get. | 17:25 |
| johann | @edbian: it's an .acsm file, won't work though. | 17:25 |
| ninjah | test | 17:26 |
| edbian | johann, google says you need to install the adobe software in wine | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | converting FROM acsm to epub or mobi is what you want to do? | 17:26 |
| linuxscreenshari | hello, what is the best screen sharing (with control) solution for linux/ubuntu ? | 17:26 |
| Sander^home | After a power failure, Ubuntu was unable to find the hd UUID of /.. How can I fix that? | 17:27 |
| johann | I have done that, they recommended to drag and drop the .acsm file in Adobe Software, though Adobe would completely ignore it and don't do anything! | 17:27 |
| edbian | linuxscreenshari, define screen sharing | 17:27 |
| ninjah | I've got an Ubuntu LAMP server with a custom install of Perl. How do I get apache to use the new perl? | 17:27 |
| johann | @dr_willis, is that is possible, yes. | 17:27 |

| johann | is = if | 17:27 |

| dr_willis | linuxscreenshari: teamviewer is handy for that. | 17:27 |
| carlos__ | hi | 17:27 |

| JohnJohn | remote desktop viewer? | 17:28 |
| edbian | linuxscreenshari, best: ssh ;) | 17:28 |
| linuxscreenshari | edbian: ssh can't control the screen can it? | 17:28 |

| === Bruce_Sommer is now known as Bruce_Sommer|afk | ||

| Sander^home | chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error<-- Does this mean I have booted up with 32 bit cd, where my install is 64bit? | 17:29 |

| edbian | sahed, do you see anything about this mouse in the output of dmesg? It's big, if you want to pastebin it that'd be great: paste.ubuntu.com | 17:32 |
| ubuntufreak | jutnux, when i try that it says unity is already the newest version | 17:32 |
| edbian | afeijo, it's a shame, cube is fun! | 17:32 |
| jutnux | ubuntufreak: Install Compiz settings manager. | 17:32 |
| sahed | edbrian , what is dmesg ? | 17:32 |
| kroq-gar78 | edbian: lol cube IS fun ;) | 17:32 |
| kroq-gar78 | !dmesg | sahed | 17:32 |
| ubottu | sahed: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. | 17:32 |
| dr_willis | cube is annoying. | 17:32 |

| anirath | kroq-gar78 really? Alright. Wicked | 17:37 |
| jutnux | kroq-gar78: Ubuntu should change the hardware apon boot / recognise the new hardware apon boot. | 17:37 |
| MonkeyDust | anirath yes, you need to backup first and then copy the backup to the other machine | 17:37 |
| kroq-gar78 | anirath: also, that's if the machine is EXACTLY the same | 17:37 |
| llutz | proxx8187: use rcconf, sysv-rc-conf or simply rename /etc/init/gdm.conf into ...conf-disabled | 17:38 |
| anirath | kroq-gar78 what to do if not exactly the same? | 17:38 |
| kroq-gar78 | jutnux: ok I guess so | 17:38 |

| Boreeas | theadmin: apt-get wants to reinstall it every time, though | 18:14 |

| Boreeas | and bin, yes | 18:14 |
| theadmin | Boreeas: If so, run this: echo "whatever-the-jre-package-is-called hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections | 18:15 |

| epall | hey guys, I seem to have borked my MBR. After upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, I'm getting "Primary hard disk fail" every time I try to boot. I've tried to repair grub with my LiveCD half a dozen times to no avail. What do I try next? | 18:25 |
| extrapolated | so where are you logging all of this? | 18:26 |
| theadmin | epall: Grub doesn't give messages like that... You sure it's not a BIOS message? | 18:26 |
| epall | theadmin: Pretty sure it's a BIOS error--it's not even getting to grub | 18:26 |
| Stepnjump | Something is weird. I cannot see my other computer from the network but I DO see it from Windows. Any suggestions? | 18:26 |

| afeijo | I try to enable nvidia drivers here, with nvidia-xconfig then reboot. Now I'm stuck with a low resolution 640x480! HELP | 18:26 |
| epall | theadmin: it happened immediately after I upgraded my distro, so it seems to be something grub did to my MBR | 18:27 |
| afeijo | it should be 1920x1040 | 18:27 |
| nvz | sounds like denial to me.. | 18:27 |
| epall | if I use the LiveCD to boot form hard disk, I get "isolinux: Disk error 01, AX = 0201, drive 80" | 18:27 |
| Stepnjump | afeijo, it happened to me too once! All I could find to do is back up the computer and reinstall Ubuntu from scratch | 18:27 |
| afeijo | argh | 18:28 |
| Flamekebab | extrapolated, /var/log/mail.* | 18:28 |

| Stepnjump | there might be a way to reset it though | 18:29 |

| epall | nvz: I can mount the drive just fine -- would e2fsck turn up anything? | 18:29 |
| vouth | Hi. In Banshee, all of the files on my external hard drive are being listed with a filesize of -1 bytes, with or without the drive already mounted. Here's the terminal output: http://pastebin.com/T7VpL49f Any thoughts?? | 18:29 |
| Stepnjump | Google on how to reset gnome to default.. There are a few hidden directories you need to delete afeijo. That MIGHT fix it | 18:29 |
| afeijo | ok | 18:30 |
| Stepnjump | Though I never tested it | 18:30 |
| Stepnjump | You will loose all your settings. Look for gnome and reset | 18:30 |
| epall | nvz: how would I check SMART status of the drive from a LiveCD? | 18:30 |
| pippo | ciaoo | 18:30 |
| Stepnjump | here it is afeijo: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity | 18:31 |

| afeijo | I'll try soon | 18:31 |
| Stepnjump | after afeijo, log off and log back in | 18:31 |

| nvz | epall: this is all irrelevant the bios is generating the error and doesn't know or care about smart, filesystem, or any of that crap | 18:32 |
| Stepnjump | afeijo, please let me know if it worked for you | 18:32 |
| charlvn | hi all, i'm using ubuntu 11.10 on the macbook pro 8.1 but i'm not happy with unity and am looking to use openbox instead | 18:32 |
| epall | nvz: why would the BIOS call the drive shot if SMART says it's all good? | 18:32 |
| Stepnjump | afeijo, you might want to reset your compiz settings too if it still doesn't work | 18:32 |
| epall | nvz: if you're suggesting an actual hardware failure, wouldn't SMART notice? | 18:32 |
| charlvn | what i am wondering is how ubuntu handles hotkeys like the audio, keyboard backlight and volume control | 18:32 |
| nvz | epall: its not saying the drive is shot it doesnt care about that either | 18:32 |
| charlvn | does anyone happen to know which process manages that? | 18:32 |
| epall | nvz: what is it saying? | 18:32 |

| `marcus_ | I know I've done it before, I just forget the command | 18:33 |
| epall | nvz: wouldn't grub-install re-write the bootsector? | 18:33 |
| theadmin | `marcus_: chmod -R user:group dirname | 18:33 |
| epall | nvz: it's manually configured to boot from HDD0 | 18:33 |
| epall | nvz: could my BIOS be too old to handle grub2 or something? | 18:34 |
| nvz | epall: doubt it unless you enabled some uefi feature | 18:34 |
| lucas_ | Has anyone had this issue before? :https://privatepaste.com/bbc7daf1fc | 18:34 |
| charlvn | theadmin: that would make the most sense to me as well (at least for the screen brightness) but wasn't sure about the volume control for example | 18:34 |
| charlvn | theadmin: did some googling but didn't return much, i'll do some more digging on my system | 18:34 |
| epall | nvz: so if it's not a hardware failure and the issue is the MBR, why did it happen immediately after I installed 10.10? | 18:35 |
| theadmin | charlvn: Well, according to the "Keyboard Shorcuts"-style apps, these keys are called "XF86VolumeUp" and such. XF86 stands for XFree86, which I beleive is the same thing as Xorg or X | 18:35 |
| `marcus_ | theadmin: it says "chmod: invalid mode: `marcus:website'" | 18:35 |
| theadmin | `marcus_: Bah, chown, not chmod, sorry | 18:35 |
| `marcus_ | Ok | 18:36 |
| lucas_ | Sorry, used the wrong paste program: http://paste.ubuntu.com/784872/ | 18:36 |
| nvz | epall: idk.. does your bios checksum the bootsector? | 18:36 |
| epall | nvz: don't think so | 18:36 |
| `marcus_ | theadmin: my FTP still gets a connection error, I know its because of the permissions because it happened after I set the permissions before | 18:36 |
| epall | nvz: so you assert something is wrong with the drive and I should go buy a new one? | 18:36 |
| epall | nvz: how would I validate that hypothesis? | 18:36 |
| theadmin | `marcus_: Hmm, you sure you have permissions to change permissions of that directory? Try the chown command with sudo | 18:37 |
| Torgen | ok, I put the alternate ISO on a usb key and the menu comes up, but it doesn't boot or start the installer. It just beeps. | 18:37 |

| phil_phys | Tux: It works on windows but it doesn't work on ubuntu | 19:37 |
| edbian | trojanking, you can write c++ for linux | 19:37 |
| edbian | trojanking, linux the kernel is written in c | 19:37 |
| SunTsu | trojanking: you can try to write it portable, but that's lots of work | 19:37 |
| phil_phys | Tux: How can I do?? | 19:37 |
| edbian | trojanking, portable meaning it works on both linux or windows | 19:37 |
| trojanking | edbian i mean just copy the source code and add the !user /bin/deb bla bla bla and recompile | 19:38 |
| Tux | trojanking, you can write in c++ on linux, just you need to learn a gui framework and not use the windows api | 19:38 |
| edbian | trojanking, It does not work that way. To write the GUI for the browser you almost definitely used windows specific API stuff | 19:38 |
| Tux | trojanking, not | 19:38 |
| Pici | trojanking: Its really not on-topic for *this* channel. Maybe ##c++ would have some tips for cross-platform compiling. | 19:38 |

| edbian | trojanking, java is cross platform | 19:41 |
| trojanking | the reason i asked is bcos i am trying to find a way to strictly stay with linux for at least 2yrs if not forever | 19:42 |
| trojanking | am just 24hrs using linux -- so am trying to get use to it | 19:42 |
| edbian | trojanking, linux is the best. Why do you need to write c++ windows gui apps? | 19:43 |
| edbian | trojanking, If you want to stick with linux, just don't write those? Use c++ and gtk+ or c++ and qt or java or ... | 19:43 |

| trojanking | i am trying to setup IT company and my staffs wud do the programming work too | 19:45 |
| edbian | trojanking, Then my advice: get a windows machine and develop on it | 19:45 |
| SunTsu | luist: I'd set them yourself for testing, and restart your X session as soon as you need to run it seriously | 19:45 |
| edbian | trojanking, You can write windows code (and cross compile for window) on linux but you could only run it with wine and wine is not exactly the same as windows. | 19:45 |
| trojanking | edbian, ok i just like linux been that its not common, other ppl respect u that u use it | 19:45 |
| SunTsu | trojanking: or setup vbox with a windows vm | 19:45 |
| luist | SunTsu, ok.. i just dont have any idea on how to set them :) | 19:46 |

| edbian | trojanking, because it gives you more control of the system | 19:48 |
| edbian | trojanking, it also gives you more knowledge about the system if you're willing to learn | 19:48 |

| dummy213 | ah | 20:00 |

| yumbo | bullgard4, you can open "Sound" and go to the tab "Applications" | 21:30 |
| blz | meerkats, yes, but it's not distributed and it's the devil | 21:30 |
| blz | meerkats, if you have the choice, stick with either GIT or mercurial | 21:31 |
| bullgard4 | yumbo: What so you mean by "Sound" here in GNOME Shell 3.2.1? | 21:31 |
| bullgard4 | yumbo: What do you mean by "Sound" here in GNOME Shell 3.2.1? | 21:31 |
| meerkats | i dont have the choice, is standard 0.5.0 or svn, I need a library I cannot find to use 0.5.0 | 21:31 |
| glad | hey i just installed ubuntu and i get "to run a command as administrator user root use sudo command . see man sudo_root for details" wtf do i do? | 21:32 |
| babalu | EvilResistance: The package 'update-manager-kde' is marked for removal but it's in the removal blacklist | 21:32 |
| blz | meerkats, could you rephrase that? You're not making sense | 21:32 |
| yumbo | bullgard4, press the Windows key on your keyboard, search for "Sound" (it should appear under Settings) | 21:32 |
| user_ | asteriks | 21:33 |
| yumbo | glad, open the Terminal, it is called "Terminal" | 21:33 |

| Daghdha | Hi, i want to start some stuff when i login to ubuntu. And i also want to have the terminals they run in on specific virtual desktops. Can that be done? | 21:37 |
| glad | yumbo: i wasn't aware i opened the terminal. i just let ubuntu install and it presented me with that screen | 21:37 |
| Daghdha | Like startup in Windows i guess | 21:37 |
| bean | glad: sounds like you didn't install ubuntu desktop? | 21:37 |
| EvilResistance | Daghdha: you can easily set up startup apps, but its not possible to get them to run in specific virtual desktops, afaik | 21:38 |
| glad | bean: is ubuntu desktop the one with a gui? | 21:38 |
| bean | glad: yes | 21:38 |
| bullgard4 | yumbo: After pressing the Windows key and entering 'Sound', Ubuntu GNOME Shell 3.2.1 will produce 2 icons: »Audio recorder« and »Sound Juicer«. I cannot see any "Settings". | 21:38 |
| glad | bean: LOL ok ill install ubuntu desktop | 21:38 |
| === pothos_ is now known as pothos | ||

| EvilResistance | Daghdha: been a while since I've been in GNOME... it can be done, i just dont remember how :/... but someone else could probably help ya set it up | 21:39 |
| meerkats | if I go to http://packages.ubuntu.com and lok for libavcodec.so.52 synaptic will ask me to delete the most modern one, right? | 21:40 |

| VCoolio | Daghdha: try compiz settings manager if you use compiz, else try devilspie | 21:40 |
| yumbo | bullgard4, run "gnome-control-center" from the terminal, click "Sound" and see again | 21:40 |
| EvilResistance | meerkats: that's not a package name afaik... | 21:40 |

| bean | by whom, or for what? | 21:41 |
| Daghdha | VCoolio: i use 10.x so that's devilspie then? | 21:41 |
| EvilResistance | RonWhoCares: you'd have to upgrade to Karmic first, but you cant... because Karmic's past EOL | 21:41 |
| meerkats | for vegastrike | 21:41 |
| EvilResistance | RonWhoCares: you'd be best just installing clean 10.04 | 21:41 |
| RonWhoCares | how do I do this | 21:42 |
| yumbo | actually, replace that with 11.10 ^ | 21:42 |
| RonWhoCares | I am doing this for a friend | 21:42 |
| bean | RonWhoCares: ubuntu uses apt, not yum. | 21:42 |
| EvilResistance | yumbo: says who, if he wants lucid he can have lucid :P | 21:42 |
| RonWhoCares | what command should I give? | 21:42 |
| Daghdha | It's just in the preferences menu | 21:42 |
| EvilResistance | RonWhoCares: you'd need to get an installation image from the website, and then burn that to either a CD or DVD... | 21:42 |
| Daghdha | startup programs | 21:42 |
| yumbo | EvilResistance, I say so, because otherwise if he want to upgrade from 10 to 12 he'll be stuck with the same problem all over again | 21:42 |
| Daghdha | o_O | 21:42 |
| EvilResistance | RonWhoCares: and then boot to that disk | 21:43 |
| xangua | RonWhoCares: read what the bot just told you | 21:43 |
| EvilResistance | yumbo: not if he wants to upgrade 10.04 -> 12.04 | 21:43 |
| yann2 | HEllo! I have a program that I run with java -jar yed.jar - it's a pain to always run with the console. Is there a way to add it to the dash in unity? | 21:43 |

| The0Racle | EvilResistance: it's still not working | 21:43 |
| EvilResistance | yumbo: they're both LTSes, LTS to LTS upgrades are direct | 21:43 |
| vouth | bean: hmm, that was my thought too | 21:43 |
| The0Racle | I did port forwarding to the specified box, but it's not working for my friends | 21:43 |
| yumbo | EvilResistance, or 10.04 --> 11.10 | 21:43 |
| EvilResistance | The0Racle: what IP are they using to connect to the FTP server? | 21:43 |
| bean | The0Racle: thats because you'll need to give them your external IP | 21:43 |
| vouth | bean: no idea why though. I've been trying to get Compiz to work on my KM400 Unichrome IGP chip. | 21:43 |
| The0Racle | bean: I did give them my external IP | 21:43 |
| The0Racle | EvilResistance: the link is this ftp://68.119.50.43/ | 21:44 |
| VCoolio | Daghdha: devilspie needs some tweaking, find a decent howto and you'll figure it out, it's not that hard, just make sure devilspie is launched before the startup apps | 21:44 |
| EvilResistance | The0Racle: which port(s) are you using? | 21:44 |
| EvilResistance | 22 is the default, make sure its opened | 21:44 |
| RonWhoCares | This is on a net book --- There is no DVD drive. | 21:44 |

| EvilResistance | bean: whatever | 21:44 |
| xangua | RonWhoCares: PLEASE read what the bot told you | 21:45 |
| The0Racle | yeah, I have the ports from 20-21 forwarded | 21:45 |
| EvilResistance | The0Racle: did you configure the FTP server right? | 21:45 |
| bean | The0Racle: and you're sure you have them forwarded to the correct IP? | 21:45 |
| The0Racle | yes | 21:45 |
| The0Racle | I checked that over a couple times | 21:45 |
| The0Racle | EvilResistance: I only started the FTP server | 21:46 |
| The0Racle | it's something included with the linux distribution I have on the other boxc | 21:46 |

| bullgard4 | yumbo: This produces an "Audio" dialog. The tab »Applications« lists 2 items: Banshee and ALSA plug-in [firefox]. Banshee's slider has a pink background. Can I infer that Banshee is currently playing audio? | 21:46 |
| yumbo | The0Racle, post your /etc/vsftpd.conf ? | 21:47 |
| bean | The0Racle: It'd seem to me that you don't have the port forwarding correct. | 21:47 |
| yumbo | bullgard4, never seen a pink background before, you can just try clicking mute and hear if audio gets muted :) | 21:48 |
| yumbo | The0Racle, it also helps if you could give the errors the people get when trying to connect | 21:48 |

| bean | The0Racle: then you don't have the port forwarding correct. | 21:50 |
| The0Racle | EvilResistance: The RST's you were getting were because of a firewall, but even after that, it's still not connecting | 21:50 |
| bullgard4 | yumbo: Surprise: the pink background has vanished! -- Your recipe works: Muting ALSA plug-in [firefox] mutes the audio. So Firefox is the audio source. -- Thank you very much for your help. | 21:50 |

| lordjj | Hello. My screen usually freezes when resuming from a screen saver, but I can switch to cli with cntrl+alt+f#. What can I do to recover the screen? | 22:24 |

| yumbo | lordjj, press Control+Alt+F7 | 22:25 |
| Hathadar | dougl, I am starting to learn opengl. My main box had a hardware failure. While I wait for a new mobo I would like to code on an old laptop and execute my program on my server box which has an opengl 3.3 compatable video card. | 22:25 |
| lordjj | yumbo, that doesn't help. | 22:25 |
| Hathadar | dougl, code on old laptop, run opengl on newer server | 22:25 |
| yumbo | lordjj, log in on the cli and then type "startx" | 22:26 |
| lordjj | yumbo neither does that | 22:26 |
| yumbo | lordjj, Do you have the kill sequence enabled? | 22:26 |
| lordjj | yumbo not sure what that is | 22:27 |
| dougl | Hathadar, there is a display command that defines what display to use when you launch your apps... but I dunno enuff to define the syntax | 22:27 |
| yumbo | lordjj, Keyboard Layout --> Layouts --> Options... --> Key sequence to kill the X server | 22:27 |
| dougl | Display 0.0 xine or something to that effect | 22:27 |
| lordjj | yumbo you mean cntrl+alt+backspace to restart X? | 22:28 |
| lordjj | yumbo yes, but that logs me out. | 22:28 |
| yumbo | lordjj, enable that and then you can use Control+Alt+Backspace to restart X | 22:28 |
| yumbo | oh | 22:28 |
| yumbo | well, disable screensaver then? | 22:28 |
| lordjj | yumbo it still occurs without screensaver, e.g: closing laptop lid and opening | 22:28 |

| gao | my dedicated server came with ubuntu 10.10, it is saying that a new release (Natty) is available. SHould I be upgrading to this version? | 22:32 |
| yumbo | lordjj, upgrading to 11.10 might help because of newer drivers | 22:32 |
| yumbo | lordjj, other than that you're probably out of luck | 22:33 |
| owenll | testpckamil: additional drivers (not restricted) | 22:33 |
| yumbo | testpckamil, do this in terminal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" | 22:33 |
| lordjj | yumbo, is there a way to change resolution from cli? | 22:33 |
| yumbo | not that I know of | 22:34 |
| c3ntury | Anyone available to help me out with a little problem within my Ubuntu server install? Willing to reward the guy / girl that can spare a minute or 2 xD | 22:34 |
| yumbo | c3ntury, just say what the problem is :) | 22:34 |
| pippo | ciao | 22:34 |
| c3ntury | Sure yumbo. | 22:34 |
| wooter | c3ntury: whats the prob, no reward required | 22:34 |
| c3ntury | Here is an image of my partitions - http://imgf.tw/441067168.png | 22:34 |
| wooter | plus my webcam is broken | 22:34 |
| c3ntury | As you can tell, the sda1 only has 17MB or so available, I need to expand that partition, but it's impossible whilst mounted. | 22:35 |
| c3ntury | Furthermore, it's on OVH, so I can't exactly pop in a CD-ROM with gparted. | 22:35 |
| c3ntury | Whoops, /s/17/500/ | 22:35 |
| c3ntury | It says 17 in df -h. | 22:35 |
| gao | my dedicated server came with ubuntu 10.10, it is saying that a new release (Natty) is available. SHould I be upgrading to this version? | 22:35 |
| yumbo | c3ntury, when I saw that 9.76 GiB I immediately thought it was too small :S | 22:36 |
| Daghdha | :( I made the shells cript. Wich works fine when i run it on the shell. It prompts for closing using pause command. But when the same script is called with -e it doesn't wait dor the read | 22:36 |
| Daghdha | Anyone know why? | 22:36 |
| c3ntury | yumbo: My friend did the install setup, I regret it now frankly. :/ | 22:36 |
| c3ntury | Is there any way I can expand it without having to reinstall my server from scratch? | 22:37 |
| yumbo | yes there is | 22:37 |
| c3ntury | Wa'hey! | 22:37 |
| yumbo | its called online resizing | 22:37 |
| yumbo | you firstly have to unmount the 1.8TB partition | 22:37 |
| yumbo | resize it to something smaller | 22:37 |
| yumbo | c3ntury, what does "free -m" give you? | 22:38 |
| wooter | gao: if it aint broke, don't fix it IMO, aslong as the distro is still support | 22:38 |
| === tp_ is now known as piero | ||
| c3ntury | Want a screenshot? It came up with a table of sorts. | 22:38 |
| yumbo | sure | 22:38 |
| piero | Is Ubuntu going to support gnome-shell software rendering like fedora? | 22:39 |
| c3ntury | Mem: Total = 15989 Used = 15901 Free = 87 Cached = 12090 | 22:39 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: I would not resize / - but you can move some of the larger parts, like /var to their own partition | 22:39 |
| yumbo | c3ntury, not a great idea to run the OS and the torrents on the same system btw | 22:39 |
| yumbo | same hard drive* | 22:39 |
| c3ntury | CarlFK: That sounds perfect, how can I do that? | 22:39 |
| c3ntury | yumbo: It's a single HDD system, and with an online host, there's not a lot of flexibility sadly :/ | 22:39 |
| Daghdha | anyone know why a shell in unix wouldn't wait for read 'command' in a shells cript if it's run with -e? like: xvt -e myscript (in gnome-terminal it also fails to wait for the read to close) | 22:40 |
| c3ntury | But I understand your concerns tbh, it's sound reasoning. | 22:40 |
| yumbo | 511mb swap seems a little slow | 22:40 |
| gao | ok thanks wooter | 22:41 |
| c3ntury | Should I increase that as well? | 22:41 |
| wooter | Daghdha: well the -e specifies If not interactive, exit immediately if any untested command fails. | 22:41 |
| gao | how long is 10.10 supported for? | 22:41 |
| whomp | i tried restarting with older drivers, but ubuntu still isn't detecting the monitor. anything i might try? | 22:41 |
| piero | why do u use swap nowdays?? | 22:41 |
| yumbo | c3ntury, I have 8gb myself, but I never fill my 16gb RAM | 22:41 |
| edbian | piero, to hibernate | 22:41 |
| yumbo | so just leave it at 511MB | 22:41 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: gie me a sec.. similar to the other suggestions... let me outline the steps | 22:41 |
| piero | disk swap totally sucks | 22:41 |
| yumbo | piero, dont say that here | 22:41 |
| Tech-1 | gao: this april i think | 22:41 |
| c3ntury | CarlFK: Sure, thanks. | 22:41 |
| Daghdha | i thought -e ment execute this command | 22:42 |
| piero | edbian, copy 16GB from disk back to ram is as fast as a normal boot? | 22:42 |
| piero | yumbo, sorry... | 22:42 |
| Daghdha | so it considders built in commands like read unimportant? | 22:42 |
| wooter | gao: april 2012, i have a server running same version, i am holding off till april aswell | 22:42 |
| edbian | piero, Hibernate is not always about speed. Sometimes it's about returning to your state of work quickly | 22:42 |
| Daghdha | wooter: What if i want it to not exit imemdiately? | 22:43 |
| gao | well i don't want it to ruin later on >.< | 22:43 |
| piero | yeah... but I don't have such amount of memory to know... how much time it takes? | 22:43 |
| Daghdha | man xvt | 22:43 |
| wooter | Daghdha: don't use -e ? | 22:43 |
| Daghdha | But i want to have it execute a script | 22:43 |
| wooter | gao: a LTS version is released in april 2012..it will be supported for 5 years | 22:44 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: can you reboot into something like rescue mode? mainly so that / is mounted read-only? | 22:44 |
| * Daghdha shrugs, seems like a normal desire. | 22:44 | |
| c3ntury | CarlFK: Hmm, there's something like that aye. | 22:45 |
| c3ntury | Whether it's just for tests rather than actual commands I'm not sure. | 22:45 |
| c3ntury | Let me see... | 22:45 |
| gao | I'M UPGRADING XD!! | 22:46 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: http://dpaste.de/BVfwi/ remount / as read only; mv /var /home; ln -s /home/var /var; reboot | 22:46 |
| gao | oh really... | 22:46 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: that isn't a great solution, but it is less risky.. not sure what I would do really. | 22:46 |
| c3ntury | There's this - http://help.ovh.ie/RescueMode | 22:46 |
| c3ntury | One question CarlFK, what command do I use to remount / as read only? | 22:47 |
| wooter | good luck gao | 22:48 |
| wooter | i didnt have the balls, incase everything broke | 22:48 |
| m123456789 | hola | 22:49 |
| Daghdha | What is an alternative to running a terminal with -e option and a script so it will not close when the script is at the end, despite having a read in the end of the script? | 22:49 |
| m123456789 | spanis | 22:49 |
| oneliner | current standard boot time for an 11.10 install on a 8gbram six core pc exceeds a minute; bloatware much? | 22:49 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: looks like the "rescue in ssh" is what you want | 22:50 |
| owenll | !es | m123456789 | 22:50 |
| ubottu | m123456789: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 22:50 |
| meerkats | what does make: *** [all] Error 2 mean? sudo? | 22:50 |
| meerkats | and error 1? | 22:50 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: actually skip the RO thing, just do this step: rescue:~# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/ | 22:50 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: sounds like the "rescue in ssh" mode is kinda like booting a live cd. some other OS is live, and your installed os is just on an unmonted partition. so you can mount it read/write, but the running OS isn't going to write stuff to it while you move it from / to /home | 22:52 |
| c3ntury | Sounds perfect to me. | 22:52 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: although given you can boot into that, I would shrink the home fs and partition, use the free space for a new partition and mount /var on it. | 22:53 |
| VCoolio | Daghdha: do you need the terminal or just the output? If the output, then pipe that to zenity, like: command | zenity --text-info | 22:53 |
| c3ntury | CarlFK: That last line confused me :p | 22:54 |
| Hathadar | I would like to learn opengl on my ubuntu machine. It is ubuntu 11.10 server edition. Does opengl require a desktop like gnome or unity or can an opengl application start on a standard server edition of ubuntu? | 22:54 |
| Daghdha | VCoolio: I need the terminal, i am running them from startp, there will be 5 with different apps | 22:54 |
| c3ntury | If /var is on the home partition, what use would it give giving it its own partition? | 22:54 |
| shadowe9899 | Hathadar: Try #programming #c #c++ they might know. | 22:56 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: resize home instead of moveing var into it | 22:56 |
| CarlFK | c3ntury: having /var linked to /home/var makes me grumpy :) | 22:57 |
| c3ntury | I'll try and do that :) | 22:57 |
| c3ntury | Just waiting patiently for the rescue-mode to load up. | 22:57 |

| Hathadar | Ben64, for the learning experience. I want to know what components are necessary to render opengl. If I had a desktop version, my apps would just work and I wouldn't learn as much. | 23:37 |

| gplikespie | hey gao | 23:48 |
| gplikespie | i think i have a solution | 23:48 |
| VCoolio | rectec: deprecated and indeed no one really cares | 23:48 |
| syn-ack | rectec, Emerald was decontinued, a LONG time ago | 23:48 |
| gplikespie | to emerald | 23:48 |
| rectec | gplikespie: I can't get my mic to work either. | 23:48 |
| gplikespie | i went to the terminal and put in sudo apt-get install emerald | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | emerald is basically a dead project you know gplikespie? | 23:49 |
| gplikespie | thats how I get all my stuff | 23:49 |
| gplikespie | no i dont kow | 23:49 |
| gplikespie | know | 23:49 |
| dr_willis | !emerald | 23:49 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 23:49 |
| rectec | VCoolio, syn-ack: well how can I get a different decorator with compiz than gtk? | 23:49 |
| dr_willis | there was only 3 decorators that i knew of.. Gtk's KDE,s (qt?) and emerald. | 23:50 |
| syn-ack | rectec, please retype that since it didn't really make sense. | 23:50 |
| dr_willis | compiz sites might have others that are not in the repos. but ive never heard of any. | 23:50 |
| vitamin | Recently there has been work in the Compiz Fusion project to create a replacement for emerald, the current leading candidate for which is Jasper, a much more customizable window decorator which supports plugins, scriptable buttons and animation. | 23:50 |
| syn-ack | GTK != a decorator. | 23:50 |
| rectec | syn-ack: Compiz comes with gtk-window-decorator by default, I'd like a different look | 23:50 |
| kkfn | Hello, how can I boot into busybox from a boot loader? | 23:51 |
| syn-ack | rectec, so retheme it. | 23:51 |
| dr_willis | The GTK Window Decorator is the default window decorator provided with the Compiz package. It provides basic window borders and shadow support. It consists of two themes, Cairo decorations and Metacity decorations. GTK Window Decorator requires GNOME as it uses GConf to store it's settings. | 23:51 |
| gplikespie | okay, what is compiz? | 23:51 |
| dr_willis | http://wiki.compiz.org/Decorators/GTKWindowDecorator | 23:51 |
| dr_willis | !compiz | 23:51 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 23:51 |
| rectec | gplikespie: it's a window manager | 23:51 |
| lalagirl | /msg nickserv | 23:51 |
| gplikespie | oh, thanks | 23:52 |
| dr_willis | Its what gives you the fancy eyecandy effects | 23:52 |
| joallard | X won't start after I tried uninstalling my nvidia (official) driver. where do I start? | 23:52 |
| w30 | rectec, I googled for emerald for ubuntu and got several hits, some worked and some didn't. I got one and it installed ok on 11.10 | 23:52 |
| gplikespie | I am a recent convert from windows, hehe | 23:52 |
| dr_willis | http://wiki.compiz.org/AboutCompizFusion | 23:52 |
| syn-ack | dr_willis, heh no so fancy in 11.10. :P | 23:52 |
| rectec | syn-ack: can you please explain how? I'm running xfce | 23:52 |
| gplikespie | I have seen the light, and now walk the blessed path with the few and the tech savvy | 23:52 |
| syn-ack | wait | 23:52 |
| lalagirl | /msg nickserv set hidemail on | 23:52 |
| syn-ack | why are you using Compiz in XFCE? | 23:52 |
| syn-ack | since, you know, it's got it's own compositor and all. | 23:53 |
| w30 | rectec, I made sure I saved my deb copy *smile* | 23:53 |
| rectec | syn-ack: only DE i see possible to run it stably | 23:53 |
| dr_willis | !info emerald | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Package emerald does not exist in oneiric | 23:53 |
| rectec | syn-ack: incase you didn't know, GNOME 2 is deprecated : ( | 23:53 |
| lalagirl | !help | 23:53 |
| ubottu | 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 | 23:53 |
| syn-ack | rectec, I'm quite aware of it. | 23:53 |

| Hathadar | After installing the latest nvidia drivers and rebooting the command xinit will cause my screen to flask for a moment and then terminate stating (EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0) | 23:54 |
| rectec | syn-ack: yeah not that maybe DEs to run compiz on anymore | 23:54 |
| blobbyyyyyy | hey | 23:54 |

| _rb_ | trying to connect a lexmark 4600 via wireless. I can ping the printer but can't print to it.Any idea what port should I use? | 23:55 |
| syn-ack | Honestly, you would be much better off and supported with XFCE's compositor. | 23:55 |
| gplikespie | anyone know if there is a port for League of Legends? | 23:55 |
| rectec | sorry what did I miss? | 23:55 |
| gao | ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 23:55 |
| w30 | syn-ack, really? What's the package name for compiz for Xfce? | 23:55 |
| gao | guys is it strange for a restart to take 20 minutes after installing oneiric? | 23:56 |
| syn-ack | w30, did I say Compiz for XFCE? | 23:56 |
| w30 | syn-ack, what is the xfce compositor then? | 23:57 |
| syn-ack | and it's Xfwm4. | 23:57 |
| rectec | just so you know, XFCE runs compiz fine, and it's one of the few good DEs left to run it on. | 23:57 |
| gao | GUYS | 23:57 |

| ubottu | Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 23:57 |
| Daghdha | well, almost done. | 23:58 |
| lalagirl | !repeat | 23:58 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 23:58 |
| root_____ | hiii | 23:58 |
| lalagirl | hi | 23:58 |
| === root_____ is now known as r000t | ||
| lalagirl | root_____ hi | 23:58 |
| rectec | trust me if Gnome 2 was still supported I'd be running compiz on it just like the good old days. OK so anyway, how to I change the gtk-window-decorator theme? | 23:58 |
| r000t | there we goo | 23:58 |
| gao | guys is it strange for a restart to take 30 minutes after installing oneiric? | 23:58 |
| r000t | yes | 23:58 |
| w30 | syn-ack, ok then, I now understand. None of that wobbly window 3d cube stuff then. | 23:58 |
| syn-ack | right | 23:58 |
| joallard | X won't start after uninstalling nvidia; where do I start looking? | 23:59 |
| lalagirl | hi i'm getting this warning when i'm going through the installation process of mediawiki 1.18.0: "Warning: The intl PECL extension is not available to handle Unicode normalization, falling back to slow pure-PHP implementation." what can I do to fix this? how do i install it with terminal? | 23:59 |
| joallard | lalagirl, this sounds like a PHP problem, not really ubuntu | 23:59 |
| lalagirl | gao yes it is strange | 23:59 |
| syn-ack | Geez.... my bunk heater is burning the heck out of me. | 23:59 |
| lalagirl | joallard how do i fix it using terminal? | 23:59 |
