| danawar2 | Looking for a way forward with my programing i know small amounts of C# and java from my year at university and am looking fro a way to help develop my programing skills by helping in development of simple aps can any one point me in the right direction? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| iceroot | bo: its just a good way to see what is taking how much space | 00:00 |
| iceroot | bo: for your homedirecty you should use "du -sh .*" too | 00:00 |
| iceroot | danawar2: have a look at python (#python) | 00:01 |
| === Guest57843 is now known as Octane | ||
| danawar2 | do you recomend learning phython over c# and java? | 00:01 |
| bo | iceroot: so should i use that "sudo apt..." first to get rid of unnecessary packages and then "du - sh .*"? | 00:01 |
| DrPenguin | id recommend learning basic over C#.. | 00:01 |
| iceroot | danawar2: #c is evil microsoft and not os-idenpentend | 00:01 |
| danawar2 | i am goign into computer security | 00:01 |
| danawar2 | what would be the best language to learn? | 00:02 |
| iceroot | danawar2: microsoft has nothing to do with security | 00:02 |
| DrPenguin | semi kidding because I dont like MS.. but, danawar2: your better off learning languages that work on any platform, it makes you much more versatile | 00:02 |
| iceroot | danawar2: learn things which are working on all plattforms, perl, python, java and of course c and c++ | 00:02 |
| DrPenguin | danawar2: you will probably feel a little babied going to python, its much more simpler of a language than java or C# are | 00:02 |
| Kiten | danawar2, there is no best language , however C,C++,perl,Java are the most heavily used | 00:02 |
| linxeh | python too | 00:03 |
| Kiten | as far as web PHP,javascript | 00:03 |
| iceroot | also see ##programming | 00:03 |
| DrPenguin | danawar2: C/C++ would be a nice place to go, because you can use C/C++ code in tandem with Java | 00:03 |
| linxeh | and web, php, java, javascript, c sharp | 00:03 |
| Kiten | *rephrase that perl,python | 00:03 |
| tiox | I'll say it again for the hell of it, the Linux kernel is heavily made with C. | 00:03 |
| iceroot | linxeh: not c sharp | 00:03 |
| iceroot | linxeh: its evil and not working on all plattforms | 00:03 |
| Kiten | C# isn't cross platform or at least not very portable | 00:04 |
| DrPenguin | everytime a C# program is compiled, a kitten is killed | 00:04 |
| linxeh | iceroot: its evil. it works on windows. it mostly works on other major platforms. I only work in it when paid highly enough | 00:04 |
| iceroot | correct | 00:04 |
| Kiten | exactly | 00:04 |
| Kiten | don't kill me | 00:04 |
| iceroot | linxeh: like unix? | 00:04 |
| linxeh | DrPenguin: every time a C++ program is called, someone loses a leg | 00:04 |
| mebigfatguy_ | Kiten, heh:) | 00:04 |
| danawar2 | how much do you guys get paid roughly are you software developers? | 00:04 |
| Kiten | mebigfatguy_, ;p | 00:04 |
| iceroot | linxeh: and is there a free (not a solution killed with software-patents) implementation of c#? no | 00:04 |
| danawar2 | i thought the best bet for good pay was to go into security or management | 00:04 |
| DrPenguin | danawar2: as a Linux Software Engineer for HP, I get payed like.. I think 35G's a year | 00:05 |
| linxeh | iceroot: mono, but as you say, no | 00:05 |
| Kiten | the average salary is 70,000 a year | 00:05 |
| DrPenguin | danawar2: engineering intern rather * | 00:05 |
| linxeh | iceroot: but software patents dont really affect me in the UK | 00:05 |
| DrPenguin | im not a full time employee | 00:05 |
| linxeh | Kiten: I'm on around £500 a day | 00:05 |
| iceroot | DrPenguin: i am also a software engineer for hp :) | 00:05 |
| Kiten | for a just graduated full time | 00:05 |
| tiox | Interesting. So Mono is a free implementation of C#? | 00:05 |
| DrPenguin | iceroot: wow really? thats awesome! | 00:05 |
| bazhang | lets return to ubuntu support please | 00:05 |
| danawar2 | Im in the UK aswell looking despretly for a placement but because i am doing a security course at university no companies want to employ me =[ | 00:05 |
| Kiten | i meant in US so 70,000 $ | 00:05 |
| linxeh | bazhang: good point :) | 00:05 |
| Jay_Levitt | iceroot: Can I blame you for my favorite HP-UX bug? | 00:06 |
| crazymarine | ok this is wierd, if i try installing 10.04 through cd, i get a mount error, but if i install through usb it works fine | 00:07 |
| iceroot | Jay_Levitt: its sad but we are using AIX instead of HP-UX....... | 00:07 |
| Jay_Levitt | haha | 00:07 |
| iceroot | crazymarine: when does the error happen? directloy after grub? | 00:07 |
| crazymarine | no when i boot from cd to do an install | 00:07 |
| iceroot | crazymarine: that is grub, its also used on the cd | 00:08 |
| iceroot | crazymarine: there is a bug about "grub can not handle your sata device correctly when it is set to a specific mode in the bios" | 00:08 |
| tiox | iceroot: Long live WebOS! It's a miracle HP decided to open-source it. | 00:08 |
| iceroot | crazymarine: and because of that grub cant use the cd but grub itself is starting fine | 00:08 |
| crazymarine | it cant mount /dev/loop0 | 00:09 |
| iceroot | crazymarine: thats sounds like the issue | 00:09 |
| riddlebox | can you integrate your google calendar to the unity calendar? | 00:09 |
| digitard | is there a simple cli way to view contents of a torrent file, specificaly info_hash field. Something like: less file.torrent | 00:10 |
| crazymarine | is there a fix in the works for it? | 00:10 |
| tiox | riddlebox: Without looking stuff up, I think the calendar in Ubuntu depends on evolution-common. Thunderbird is an E-Mail client that can be modified to use a bridge between Evolution calendar with it's celendar, which you can then integrate your Google calendar into. | 00:11 |
| DrPenguin | digitard: is a torrent file human readable mumbo jumbo? | 00:11 |
| iceroot | crazymarine: i am not sure, the workaround was to set the SATA mode to a different mode in the bios | 00:11 |
| Kiten | linxeh, nice | 00:11 |
| Kiten | linxeh, being unemployed sucks | 00:11 |
| MonkeyDust | DrPenguin a torrent contains data to go and search the net to download something | 00:11 |
| iceroot | digitard: a torrent is just a (zipped?) xml file | 00:11 |
| tiox | But you also need to find the calendar extension for Thunderbird. Sunbird might be better if you want just a calendar. | 00:11 |
| riddlebox | tiox, I want the integration like there is in gnome3 | 00:12 |
| kzman | hi, question: how can I know the packages that a task group (tasksel)? | 00:12 |
| iceroot | kzman: --list-tasks | 00:13 |
| digitard | DrPenguin, some of it is readable but i can't figure out where the info hash is | 00:13 |
| iceroot | kzman: also see "man tasksel" | 00:13 |
| DrPenguin | digitard: that doesnt look like an ascii file | 00:13 |
| kzman | iceroot, mmh, thank you | 00:13 |
| iceroot | kzman: --list-packages sounds better | 00:13 |
| tiox | riddlebox: Try this out. Not sure how updated it is, but it might still work. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleCalendarWithEvolution | 00:14 |
| tiox | Also, real men use man. | 00:14 |
| digitard | DrPenguin, actually i thinks it's all ascii | 00:15 |
| DrPenguin | digitard: I beg to differ | 00:15 |
| DrPenguin | digitard: some of the stuff in there yeah you can read, but theres a TON of junk in the middle that when you cat the file for example, it will make your shell freakout | 00:16 |
| iceroot | digitard: as i said, a torrent file is xml (and maybe zipped) | 00:17 |
| digitard | iceroot, how would i attempt viewing the contents to find the value for the info_hash field? | 00:17 |
| okapi | any one can help me to mount Vxworks hard drive on ubuntu? | 00:17 |
| Melissa2012 | anyone awake? :) | 00:17 |
| dalekusa | I have a question about booting into the command line | 00:18 |
| DrPenguin | Melissa2012: im sleeping | 00:18 |
| Melissa2012 | so let me get this straight. I have 4GB RAM and 1GB video RAM. If I install 32bit Ubuntu, all Unbuntu can use is 3.5GB RAM and 0.5GB video ram, total=4GB? but if I install the 64bit Ubuntu, Ubuntu can use the total of 5GB memory? | 00:18 |
| iceroot | !nox | dalekusa | 00:18 |
| ubottu | dalekusa: 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 | 00:18 |
| Melissa2012 | anyonw know? | 00:18 |
| Melissa2012 | iceroot: you will know :) | 00:18 |
| DrPenguin | Melissa2012: if you wanna use ALL that memory yeah you will need 64bit | 00:18 |
| iceroot | Melissa2012: yes | 00:18 |
| dalekusa | what do I do if i want to change back into a graphical interface? | 00:18 |
| iceroot | dalekusa: ctrl + alt + f7 | 00:19 |
| Melissa2012 | iceroot: once I install Ubuntu on my D: drive, or sda2, can I make a ONE IMAGE backup file somehow and restore it from a boot CD if needed? | 00:19 |
| dalekusa | as i boot? | 00:19 |
| iceroot | digitard: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtorrentviewer/ | 00:19 |
| iceroot | Melissa2012: yes, e.g. with dd or clonezilla | 00:20 |
| iceroot | !clone | Melissa2012 | 00:20 |
| ubottu | Melissa2012: 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 | 00:20 |
| iceroot | Melissa2012: forget the text from ubottu | 00:20 |
| Melissa2012 | iceroot: so I boot clonezilla from CD and backup to one image file and to restore boot CD and restore? | 00:20 |
| clear` | pervane2626: dont pm people | 00:20 |
| iceroot | Melissa2012: correct | 00:21 |
| iceroot | !backup | 00:21 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 00:21 |
| Melissa2012 | pervane2626: no I dont want to go out on a date with you, thanks for asking :) | 00:21 |
| Melissa2012 | iceroot: clonezilla is the best easiest way for a noob? | 00:21 |
| digitard | DrPenguin, iceroot thanks | 00:21 |
| edbian | Melissa2012, get off IRC and install your OS already! | 00:21 |
| iceroot | Melissa2012: i think so, never used it :) | 00:21 |
| mongy | Melissa2012: I recommend clonezilla | 00:21 |
| edbian | :P | 00:21 |
| Melissa2012 | edbian: lol :) | 00:21 |
| dalekusa | so to boot into gui, I press ctrl + alt+ f7 as the computer boots? | 00:22 |
| Melissa2012 | mongy: where is the official clonezilla ISO? | 00:22 |
| mongy | Melissa2012: clonezilla.org | 00:22 |
| DrPenguin | dalekusa: … what? Ubuntu by default will boot into a "gui", unless something goes awry during boot | 00:22 |
| iceroot | dalekusa: at the moment your system is booting without a gui? | 00:22 |
| Melissa2012 | edbian: I was just trying to fully understand. so I came to ask, If I install 32bit Ubuntu, all Unbuntu can use is 3.5GB RAM and 0.5GB video ram, total=4GB? but if I install the 64bit Ubuntu, Ubuntu can use the total of 5GB memory? | 00:22 |
| Melissa2012 | mongy: ok cool | 00:22 |
| iceroot | dalekusa: do you have a gui installed by default? | 00:22 |
| edbian | dalekusa, you wait for it to boot, then press ctrl+alt+F7 (however this is the default thing it boots to) | 00:22 |
| DrPenguin | edbian: thats actually incorrect.. by default were on tty1, then when X spawns we switch to tty7 | 00:23 |
| mongy | Melissa2012: it will see 3.3gb ram and all your video ram. Install a PAE kernel for it to see all your ram, or install 64bit | 00:23 |
| dalekusa | I am running a GUI. | 00:23 |
| edbian | Melissa2012, I think that if you install 32 bit you'll get 3Gb of ram and the entire 1Gb of video card. But other than that, yes | 00:23 |
| edbian | DrPenguin, I see | 00:23 |
| Melissa2012 | mongy: im installing 64bit Ubuntu anyway | 00:23 |
| iceroot | Melissa2012: why not just using amd64 as we already said 100 times instead of asking again? | 00:23 |
| DrPenguin | edbian: but thats only because by convention, X is told to spawn on tty7, this isnt set in stone | 00:23 |
| Melissa2012 | mongy: i was just trying to learn about it thats all | 00:23 |
| Melissa2012 | iceroot: because im learning | 00:23 |
| iceroot | Melissa2012: and we told you 50 times why you will not see 4gb with 32bit :) | 00:24 |
| edbian | DrPenguin, indeed. :) I would prefer it on tty 4 myself! Who needs 6 tty's ? | 00:24 |
| Melissa2012 | iceroot: trying to understand properly, out of interest :) | 00:24 |
| Melissa2012 | iceroot: im a slow learner, sory :( | 00:24 |
| edbian | Melissa2012, you've learned. Now install! | 00:24 |
| edbian | :) | 00:24 |
| Melissa2012 | edbian: :-) | 00:24 |
| DrPenguin | edbian: exactly, Ive reduced my system to 2, and made the non X one a non root login shell to prevent intrusion | 00:24 |
| Melissa2012 | iceroot: it wasn't 50 times, i was told 26 times :-) | 00:24 |
| iceroot | Melissa2012: ah ok :) then everything is fine and you have 24 times left :) | 00:25 |
| DrPenguin | for i in {1..24}; do; echo "Melissa2012: use 64bit!"; done | 00:25 |
| DrPenguin | done | 00:25 |
| Melissa2012 | mongy: look what google found for me :-) http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-clonezilla-on-usb/ | 00:26 |
| === paxtoncamarohelp is now known as paxtoncamaro91_ | ||
| Melissa2012 | iceroot: :-) | 00:26 |
| mongy | Melissa2012: I use it on usb too, on the same external hd I dump the images to | 00:26 |
| iceroot | Melissa2012: you can use a normal ubuntu-livecd for clonezilla | 00:26 |
| kzman | what does packages the «Basic Ubuntu server» task have? | 00:27 |
| edbian | Melissa2012, did you figure out why that link you posted said you could only use 4Gb with that proc? | 00:27 |
| iceroot | hm, what is the metapackage for the server-edition? | 00:28 |
| iceroot | i though it was "ubuntu-server" | 00:28 |
| mongy | Melissa2012: it's just a script (a good one) for partimage/partclone, so yes, you could run those commands in another distro. | 00:29 |

| Zopiac | DrPenguin: I don't have direct access to the router (trying to get this for my brother, a few states away) but otherwise I would | 00:40 |
| bo | i tried "sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean" and it returned all 0s (meaning that there were no (unneeded) packages to clean i think)... | 00:40 |
| bo | i also tried "du -sh.*" in the /home directory and got a bunch of "permission denied" | 00:40 |
| bo | can anybody help please? | 00:40 |
| DrPenguin | bo: generally speaking, unless your root (but I could be wrong) you cant poke around in other peoples home dirs | 00:41 |
| bo | i have not tried 'rm' because i am not sure how to use it / where to use it | 00:41 |

| bo | 9.10 karmic | 00:42 |
| Chipzzz | bo: you could reformat the partition | 00:42 |
| bazhang | Chief_G, check the appdb | 00:42 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: is it an intel or ppc mac? | 00:42 |
| totem | lalagirl, yay, mac | 00:43 |
| lalagirl | DrPenguin it's a brand new intel core i7 | 00:43 |

| bo | chipzzz: yeah... i'm hesistant to do so...what would be the best way to do that? i have the 9.10 installation cd | 00:43 |
| lalagirl | totem lol you have a mac as well? | 00:43 |
| lalagirl | totem I love Mac OS X | 00:43 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: ok, then your gonna need to be careful, supposidly there is an issue in 11.04+ where ubuntu borks the efi partition and some people have needed their macs lobos replaced (I ifnd that to be bs but meh) | 00:43 |
| lalagirl | DrPenguin Maybe I'll just run a virtual machine | 00:44 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: the simplest way to go about this would be to install rEFIt, then, using bootcamp, partition your system and install it on that pt, root and all | 00:44 |
| Chipzzz | bo: is your system installed to sda5? | 00:44 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: VM is mucho safer, esp if you dont need significant hw acceleration | 00:44 |
| bo | karmic yes, but windows on sda1 and sda 2 | 00:44 |
| Chipzzz | bo: you could just reinstall if you have no data that you care about | 00:45 |
| bo | chipzzz: using the installation cd? i think that's where i messed up in the first place when i installed it... because i had up to sda12 i think, and i deleted all of them except windows partitions... so i need to figure out how to properly install karmic on a partition so that the partition is not 100% used (1967636) | 00:46 |

| aBound | crazymarine, If by VM you mean virtualization there is a tool called: Virtualbox. | 00:48 |
| Chief_G | the wine app is often outdated and does not accurately reflects the progress made by individuals that don't bother to update the database | 00:48 |
| Kiten | digitard, oh nvm | 00:48 |
| aBound | lalagirl, :P | 00:48 |
| edbian | Why does VLC often not synchronize audio and video when player movies? | 00:48 |
| crazymarine | https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads | 00:49 |
| Chipzzz | bo: if the deleted partitions (now free space) are contiguous you can reinstall with / at sda5 and /home in a new partition in the free space... there are advantages to keep / and /home on separate partitions | 00:49 |
| lalagirl | DrPenguin it says vmware vcenter server is over $2000!!!!!!! | 00:49 |
| Kiten | edbian, uhh might not be vlc's fault maybe the video and audio aren't synced in the video | 00:49 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: thats not VMWare Server | 00:49 |
| edbian | Kiten, mmm, perhaps | 00:49 |
| lalagirl | hey aBound !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i missed you, how are you? ready for new years eve? | 00:49 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: thats probably something along the lines of VSphere | 00:49 |
| lalagirl | http://store.vmware.com/store/vmware/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.233867900 | 00:50 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: yeah thts for VSphere, thats a management service for ESX(i) | 00:50 |
| bo | chipzzz: i am not sure what you are saying | 00:50 |
| shankysv87 | i can't seem to get software to stay launched when they are working via wine. | 00:50 |
| DrPenguin | http://www.vmware.com/products/server/overview.html | 00:50 |
| thomedy | `on the ubuntu wireless trouble shoot page it says to ype lshw and look for claimed unclamed enabled and disabled... i dont have any of that | 00:50 |
| fokkle | lalagirl, probably want to skip that version unless you've got a server with ~32GB of mem lying around somewhere. | 00:50 |
| aBound | lalagirl, Hope something good comes out of new years. | 00:51 |
| Kiten | edbian, try another video player if its synced then its with VLC | 00:51 |
| edbian | Kiten, good point | 00:51 |
| edbian | Kiten, thanks | 00:51 |
| shankysv87 | i need help with wine 1.3 | 00:51 |
| aBound | lalagirl, Missed you too but I'll be right back. | 00:51 |
| Chipzzz | bo: right now, if I understand, you have two Windows partitions, ubuntu on sda5, and a bunch of free space, right? | 00:51 |
| bo | chipzzz: i think i just want to install the basics... not sure about the advantages... just want to be able to use it | 00:51 |
| Kiten | edbian, no problem :P | 00:52 |
| bo | chipzzz: i used "df" and got under "use" 100% for sda5 and 48% for sda1 (windows) | 00:52 |
| bo | chipzzz: yes, except i don't know about the free space | 00:52 |
| bo | chipzzz: and i think ubuntu is taking up sda 6 also? | 00:53 |
| lalagirl | DrPenguin it says VMWare vSphere is a paid product | 00:53 |
| lalagirl | http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/server/compare.html | 00:53 |
| aBound | Back had to add the minimize/maximize buttons to my gnome-shell. Blah I don't understand why they aren't there by default. | 00:53 |
| ubuntuser1 | hello, is there any application for parental control to restrict access to websites? | 00:53 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: yeah.. but i told you NOT to use VSphere | 00:53 |
| bazhang | lalagirl, and not what you want, at all. | 00:53 |
| bazhang | !VM | lalagirl please have a careful read | 00:53 |
| ubottu | lalagirl please have a careful read: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 00:53 |

| lalagirl | bazhang I'm on a mac... | 00:54 |
| jeran | does anyone know if ATI Radeon x1200 works well on Mint 11 os | 00:54 |
| bazhang | lalagirl, and ? vbox runs on MACS | 00:54 |
| Chipzzz | bo: if you run "sudo parted" you can see what the partitioning looks like | 00:55 |
| bo | chipzzz: when i am logged in? just type "sudo parted"? | 00:55 |
| nixnine | hey guys, I am getting the following error on startup, something about "Invalid Environment Block". anyone help with that? | 00:55 |
| thomedy | if i toggle ifconfig down/up | 00:55 |
| thomedy | i get scan back | 00:55 |
| ubuntuser1 | hello, is there a way to avoid the logon screen where the password has to be typed? I just updated to 11.10 and I had the pc to login automatically | 00:56 |
| thomedy | it seems like a bug | 00:56 |
| bo | chipzzz: i can only access the command line | 00:56 |
| shankysv87 | where can i get help with wine? | 00:56 |
| lalagirl | virtualbox does not support aero if I were to run windows on mac | 00:56 |
| bazhang | lalagirl, and how is that related to UBUNTU support | 00:56 |
| DrPenguin | thats a good point | 00:57 |
| bazhang | lalagirl, try #vbox | 00:57 |
| nixnine | I am running ubuntu 11.10 from a 16 gb flashdrive. | 00:57 |
| lalagirl | that means virtualbox might have limited capabilities when running other operating systems | 00:57 |
| DrPenguin | nixnine: that kinda smells of a filesystem issue | 00:57 |
| fokkle | Balthazar, which menu? are you talking about the layers applet? | 00:57 |
| lalagirl | such as ubuntu | 00:57 |
| Chipzzz | bo: parted is the command line version of gparted (disk manager) | 00:58 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: it has nothing to do with the platform.. its the implementation of the hypervisor | 00:58 |
| lalagirl | what does ubuntu use? GNOME or something? | 00:58 |
| Balthazar | fokkle: yeah, that one | 00:58 |
| lalagirl | what's hypervisor? | 00:58 |
| bazhang | lalagirl, yet this is all theoretical, and vbox runs fine. try it and we can troubleshoot. no telling with what if's | 00:58 |
| DrPenguin | a Hypervisor is the application(s) that allow you to run multiple OS's | 00:58 |
| fokkle | Balthazar: hit ctrl+L | 00:58 |
| bo | chipzzz: so... when i am logged in? just type "sudo parted"? | 00:58 |
| Balthazar | fokkle: Gracias! | 00:58 |
| Chipzzz | bo: yes | 00:59 |
| DrPenguin | for example, VMWare Workstation is the ideal Hypervisor software for supporting 3dGraphics and gaming, whereas ESX(i) is more towards enterprise level computing | 00:59 |
| aBound | Virtualbox has seamless windows which is nice. | 00:59 |
| ubuntuser1 | hello, is there a way to avoid the logon screen where the password has to be typed? I used to have the pc to login automatically and now it asks for password | 00:59 |
| nixnine | Well, I can still boot into the system. I read it is a grub issue and can be resolved. | 00:59 |
| w_ | anyone using gnome-shell? | 00:59 |
| bo | chipzzz: ok, and after i see what it looks like, then what? | 00:59 |
| nixnine | I am and love it | 00:59 |
| aBound | w_, I'm using gnome-shell. | 00:59 |
| Chipzzz | bo: "help" gives you the list of commands and "print all" shows you the partitions | 00:59 |
| lalagirl | how much memory does the virtual machine need to run windows? | 00:59 |
| lalagirl | i mean | 01:00 |
| lalagirl | ubuntu | 01:00 |
| |Slacker| | how do I get info about my cpu? | 01:00 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: id say "comfortably" atleast a gig | 01:00 |
| DrPenguin | slack-m: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 01:00 |
| nixnine | but is 11.10 using grub2? | 01:00 |
| bo | chipzzz: so i should be able to manipulate the partitions from "sudo parted"? | 01:00 |
| w_ | nixnine u know how to put the upgrade count next the hour on the top panel? | 01:00 |
| Chipzzz | bo: yes, absolutely | 01:00 |
| lalagirl | i'm assuming windows uses a lot more memory | 01:00 |
| |Slacker| | thanks....I was doing it the wrong way lol | 01:00 |
| bo | chipzzz: ok thanks.... i'm going to try | 01:00 |
| nixnine | sorry, no. | 01:00 |
| fokkle | lalagirl: if vista or 7, 1.5 to 2.0GB | 01:00 |
| w_ | thanks | 01:01 |
| Chipzzz | bo: my pleasure and good luck | 01:01 |
| aBound | I'm using Ubuntu and it's consuming about 800MBs. | 01:01 |
| lalagirl | fokkle okay thanks | 01:01 |
| lalagirl | aBound and are you running anything? | 01:01 |
| aBound | On my 16GB laptop. | 01:01 |
| fokkle | you can make it on 1gb but it will be so-so | 01:01 |
| lalagirl | aBound are you running any programs/applications | 01:01 |
| aBound | lalagirl, Nothing really just gnome-shell and xchat. | 01:01 |
| lalagirl | aBound oh okay… thanks | 01:01 |
| aBound | lalagirl, Oh yeah and synapse. | 01:01 |
| aBound | :P | 01:01 |
| shankysv87 | where can i go to get help with wine? | 01:03 |

| |Slacker| | is there any issues running a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit cpu? | 01:05 |
| lalagirl | bazhang it's not off topic… I'm trying to run Ubuntu using VM software | 01:05 |
| DrPenguin | |Slacker|: i dont think so | 01:06 |
| bazhang | |Slacker|, nope | 01:06 |
| DrPenguin | you just wont get all the 64bit goodness | 01:06 |
| bazhang | lalagirl, please proceed with any and all support questions here; chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 01:06 |
| |Slacker| | it's my first experience with a 64 bit cpu but it's an old laptop | 01:06 |
| lalagirl | |Slacker| not at all… you just won't utilize the true capabilites that 64bit software offers… also you won't be able to run 64bit software on a 32bit operating system | 01:07 |
| Kiten | [Slacker] nope there is none you just can't run 64bit applications | 01:07 |

| Kiten | *ram | 01:07 |
| |Slacker| | this lappy has only 512mb ram | 01:07 |
| |Slacker| | 11.10 is kind sluggish here | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | |Slacker|: may be worth using Lubuntu on it then. | 01:08 |
| DrPenguin | |Slacker|: oo.. you may not want to use ubuntu.. maybe Lubuntu is better | 01:08 |
| Kiten | my eyesight is getting worse everyday | 01:08 |
| DrPenguin | LXDE requires mucho less resources | 01:08 |
| Kiten | Fluxbox is Super lightweight | 01:08 |

| DrPenguin | it doenst have all that extra junk in popular OS's like ubuntu or kubuntu | 01:09 |
| ubuntuser1 | what is the minimum amount of recommended ram a pc needs to run lubuntu? | 01:09 |
| thomedy | i have a broken battery so my card is in power saving mode | 01:09 |
| thomedy | all the time | 01:09 |
| DrPenguin | ubuntuser1: id say 256 | 01:09 |
| lalagirl | DrPenguin what "junk" do popular operating systems have? | 01:09 |
| thomedy | does that make sense | 01:09 |
| DrPenguin | lalagirl: just all those extra applications and stuff | 01:09 |
| Kiten | lalagirl, preloaded applications | 01:10 |
| DrPenguin | thomedy: broken battery? like.. laptop battery or cmos battery? | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | Lubuntu is getting decently feature complete for getting 'work' done. | 01:10 |
| thomedy | no just the batter | 01:10 |
| Melissa2012 | edbian: you here? | 01:10 |
| thomedy | im fairly certain cmos is fine | 01:10 |
| DrPenguin | thomedy: WHAT battery | 01:10 |
| lalagirl | ubuntuser1, according to the website, it says "System requirements | 01:10 |
| lalagirl | A Pentium II or Celeron system with 128 MB of RAM is probably a bottom-line configuration that may yield slow yet usable system with Lubuntu. It should be possible to install and run Lubuntu with less memory, but the result will likely not be suitable for practical use." | 01:10 |
| thomedy | the power source on my laptop | 01:10 |
| Melissa2012 | edbian: im installing Ubuntu, should I select that mp3 audio box? | 01:10 |
| thomedy | i keep it plugged in al lthe time but the computer registers it as very low no matter what | 01:11 |
| Melissa2012 | edbian: something about installing flash and audio codecs? should I select it? | 01:11 |
| DrPenguin | thomedy: ok so laptop battery, and no that doesnt make sense.. unless your laptops CMOS is retained by your laptop battery which some laptops do that | 01:11 |
| Melissa2012 | anyone? | 01:11 |
| thomedy | well i gues i dont know if that is the case | 01:11 |
| Kiten | speaking of batteries i have to ask why does the battery monitor take a minute to update ? | 01:11 |
| Melissa2012 | DrPenguin: ? | 01:11 |
| ubuntuser1 | is tehre any way to override the login screen when loading ubuntu? I updated from 10.04 to 11.10 and I used to have it without the login screen | 01:11 |
| DrPenguin | Kiten: dunno, I use conky for monitoring battery | 01:12 |
| andygraybeal | is there a better 'mail' program at the command prompt? i want to read the local system mail, but the 'mail' program seems uhg. | 01:12 |
| Kiten | yeah thats what i'm using | 01:12 |
| thomedy | dang it this is driving me crzyi think the problem that im running into.. is wlan0 is turning itself off | 01:12 |
| DrPenguin | Kiten: oh? you should be able to tell conky how often to poll | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | ubuntuser1: you mean auto-login? | 01:12 |
| ubuntuser1 | dr_willis, yes :) | 01:12 |
| Kiten | DrPenguin, yeah but i think 0.5 is quite often | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | !autologin | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | ubuntuser1: lightdm has that feature i belive | 01:13 |
| bo | anybody know how i can properly use "sudo parted"? | 01:13 |
| Kiten | DrPenguin, you wouldn't by chance know how to set up gauges would you ? | 01:13 |
| bo | *how i can learn how to | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | bo: you are looking for a parted tutorial or 2 you mean? | 01:13 |
| Melissa2012 | dr_willis: something about installing flash and audio codecs? should I select it? | 01:13 |
| DrPenguin | Kiten: if I had it, id just look at my conkyrc, but my laptops been in the shop for almost a month (DEATH TO GEEK SQUAD) | 01:13 |
| ubuntuser1 | dr_willis, sorry but I have no idea what is that. Is it a command or a program? or a config option? | 01:13 |
| lalagirl | !info lightdm | 01:13 |
| ubottu | lightdm (source: lightdm): Display Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.6-0ubuntu1.2 (oneiric), package size 95 kB, installed size 428 kB | 01:13 |
| bo | dr: tutorial, sure | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_chapter/parted_2.html | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | i tend to use other tools | 01:14 |
| Kiten | DrPenguin, aww man if you live in east TN dude i coulda fixed it for free | 01:14 |
| ubuntuser1 | dr_willis, lalagirl, DrPenguin, thanks :) | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | bo: gparted, fdisk, or cfdisk is what i tend to use. but parted has other features | 01:14 |
| Kiten | Geek Squad is about as smart as a desktop publishing teacher | 01:14 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 if you want, you could | 01:14 |
| DrPenguin | Kiten: I could of fixed it to, but I would of had to pay for a new mobo which since its uner a 3 year warranty I aint gonna do that | 01:14 |
| DrPenguin | Kiten: oh I know, I used to be an Agent | 01:15 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 i would select it | 01:15 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 it's optional | 01:15 |
| Kiten | yeah bestbuy usually suckers you into geeksquad | 01:15 |
| lalagirl | ubuntuser1 anytime. :) | 01:15 |
| DrPenguin | I just got it because I got an insane discount on it | 01:15 |
| bo | dr_willis: ty, but i can only access command line because the sda5 that my karmic is installed on apparently is only 2.136 GB which gave an error status of 256 i think | 01:15 |
| Kiten | DrPenguin, ().() | 01:15 |
| DrPenguin | its a good idea to have it versus paying for parts on your own.. if the darn service was decent | 01:15 |
| dr_willis | bo: cfdisk is easier to use then fdisk, or parted. but it depends on your needs | 01:16 |
| DrPenguin | fdisk is easy to use >_> | 01:16 |
| bo | dr: or my options lol | 01:16 |
| Kiten | bo: if you have spare flash drive you can install gparted on to it and boot it live if your mobo supports it | 01:16 |
| aBound | I'm off have a good one. :) | 01:16 |
| Kiten | later ;) | 01:17 |
| bo | kiten: wouldn't command line be easier? from quickly looking at the list of commands, it seems like all i would have to do is move or resize... properly of course | 01:17 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: i did | 01:18 |
| downloader | Can anyone confirm that sopcast-player works for them? http://code.google.com/p/sopcast-player/downloads/detail?name=sopcast-player-0.7.2.tar.gz&can=2&q= | 01:18 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 that's great! :) | 01:18 |
| clean | Anybody using nixnote ? | 01:18 |
| fokkle | bo: i've used parted. how do you need to set up the disk? | 01:18 |
| Kiten | bo uhh no you should use gparted its much safer | 01:18 |
| DrPenguin | bo: you may as well just grab SystemRescueCD | 01:19 |
| DrPenguin | it includes gparted, plus some other awesome tools for system repair and recovery | 01:19 |
| lalagirl | downloader you want us to download and test if sopcast-player works? | 01:19 |
| downloader | lalagirl: :) | 01:19 |
| bo | i have 400 GB on my hard drive and i want to allocate about 150 GB to windows (my parents use that) and have the rest for karmic | 01:19 |
| Melissa2012 | why is the install saying "wiping swap space for security, this may take a long time"? | 01:20 |
| z7 | is there a way to create custom grub entries which start defferent sets of services, like some livecd that have several boot options in the grub menu such as 'no network' 'to ram' etc | 01:20 |
| DrPenguin | Melissa2012: a swap drive is similar to a paging file.. if theres any data in there that wasnt wiped hen it was being used, it could cause issues | 01:20 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012, it may take a while... | 01:20 |
| Melissa2012 | :( | 01:20 |
| Melissa2012 | we talking hours? | 01:21 |
| fokkle | bo: so you don't have 150GB unallocated, but need to shrink something.... in that case, they're certainly right. just download the iso for gparted and do the shrinking from the livecd. | 01:21 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 probably | 01:21 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 some people reported that it took hours … is there a way you can skip it? | 01:21 |
| fokkle | bo: it'll be much safer than trying to resize while your existing system is running. | 01:21 |
| bo | ah ok | 01:21 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: no its' OK it finisghed wiping and now is contiuong the install :) | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | gparted has its own live-cd that just does gparted. makes it small download. and quick to boot. | 01:22 |
| Melissa2012 | I have a laptop with a Nivida video card. how I install the drivers for the video card? | 01:22 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 okay, that's great! nice. you're installing Ubuntu 11.10? | 01:22 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: the latest | 01:22 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: just downloaded it today | 01:22 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 you can install the drivers after Ubuntu is finished installing | 01:22 |
| bo | fokkle: ...but for example, on # 3, there is 195 GB (it is extended) and i am not using that (but it shows up) | 01:22 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 i'll show you how when you're done installing Ubuntu | 01:22 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: how do I install the nvidia video drivers afterwards? | 01:22 |
| shankysv87 | doesn't seem like anyone is currently online in #winehq so asking in here... | 01:22 |
| downloader | Shouldn't girls be doing something else on Friday night? | 01:22 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: ok :-) | 01:23 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: you going to be on for awhile? | 01:23 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 you basically go to the software center and download this package that will allow you to use Nvidia graphics technology | 01:23 |
| shankysv87 | programs refuse to stay open after installation... | 01:23 |
| Melissa2012 | downloader: lalagirl and I are having a girls night out, installing ubuntu :-) | 01:23 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 I'll be here for a little while | 01:23 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: cool brb | 01:23 |
| lalagirl | Melissa2012 okay :) | 01:23 |
| shankysv87 | they install just fine but then as soon as i try to open them, they close immediately after | 01:23 |

| thomedy | okay im googling... but i quit... im officially asking... please someon walk me through the process of setting up my wireless again | 01:25 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: that was quick, it's installed already and now rebooting. | 01:25 |
| bo | lalagirl: how is "intelligent" related to being female (in the context of what u do tonight) | 01:25 |
| bazhang | lalagirl, thats enough. | 01:26 |
| lalagirl | bazhang what's enough? | 01:26 |
| DrPenguin | ubuntu using female? now I needs me one of them.. thomedy what is your problem? | 01:26 |
| bazhang | lalagirl, the offtopic chit chat is not for here. | 01:26 |
| bo | lol @ drpenguin | 01:26 |
| thomedy | well i will say the macro then try to work it to the micro... macro: stumped, frustrated, and ill equipped, micro: | 01:27 |
| thomedy | i have a wireless that was set up | 01:27 |
| thomedy | but it turned itself off | 01:27 |
| thomedy | and i tried googling and fixing it... i cant find much | 01:27 |
| thomedy | that is working at least | 01:27 |
| lalagirl | bazhang if you really have something against me, you don't have to express it openly. you can send a private message instead | 01:28 |
| thomedy | i can toggle ifconfig down/up | 01:28 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: ok its finished, whats next? :) | 01:28 |
| thomedy | and get my scan back on iwlist scan but it turns itself off again | 01:28 |
| thomedy | sometimes almost immediately | 01:28 |
| DrPenguin | thomedy: have ya looked at dmesg to see whats going on? | 01:28 |
| thomedy | i will do taht now i have never tryied that one sec please | 01:29 |
| ryan_8432 | how do i figure out why ubuntu isnt detecting my wireless card? | 01:29 |
| thomedy | woh thats big what did i just do error logging of some sort | 01:29 |
| DrPenguin | thomedy: dmesg is a command that dumps you the kernel logs | 01:30 |
| Melissa2012 | lalagirl: I have a problem. My wireless router doesnt show up,. why? | 01:30 |
| thomedy | the bottom message in my dmessg says addrconf(netdev_up) wlan0 link is not ready | 01:30 |
| shankysv87 | ryan_8432, might want to check to see if its loading the drivers... i had that problem a while back. | 01:31 |
| DrPenguin | can ya pastebin your dmesg? | 01:31 |
| ryan_8432 | shankysv87, how do i check that? | 01:31 |
| thomedy | i wish... the machine is not connected ata ll | 01:31 |
| shankysv87 | i have to check. give me a minute to look. I'm rather new to linux myself... | 01:32 |
| thomedy | okay it says deathenticating from (add) by local choice reason=3 | 01:32 |
| thomedy | im going to see what i can find on that | 01:32 |
| shankysv87 | ryan_8432, have terminal open? | 01:32 |
| thomedy | i think taht might be key and it is the log right above the last | 01:32 |
| Melissa2012 | i found my wireless router, connected, but ubuntu keeps saying it's been disconnected :( | 01:33 |

| dr_willis | SamplingSunday: tell the channel what drivers, what card, what have you tried | 01:34 |
| Melissa2012 | i cant connect properly to my wireless router. Is the wireless in ubuntu buggy? | 01:37 |
| brandon | I wouldn't say so, it works fine for me. | 01:37 |
| Melissa2012 | my windows laptop can connect no problems but when I try ubuntu it fails | 01:37 |

| SamplingSunday | dr_willis: The driver I am trying to install is the proprietary ati-driver 11-12-x86.x86_64, it is for a radeon hd 5450. The driver I need to uninstall is aparently an older fglrx driver. I deactivated it from 'Administration' > 'Hardware Drivers', but that didn't work as I got the same message as before. | 01:38 |

| dr_willis | how did you install flash? | 01:44 |
| Melissa2012 | dr_willis: when i did a brand new install, it asked me if I wanted to select flash mp3 support and I chose yes | 01:46 |
| dr_willis | Melissa2012: that works for me.. :) but often flash can be flakey on some sites. | 01:47 |
| Melissa2012 | dr_willis: firefox claims I need flash, so what do I do? | 01:48 |
| Kiten | Melissa2012, in terminal sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer (i think lemme check) | 01:49 |

| benn | talking about flash, how can i find the flash files in .mozzila/firefox/xxxx.default/cache? fast? | 01:50 |
| benn | not video files | 01:50 |

| Kiten | Applications->Accessories->terminal and type sudo reboot | 01:51 |
| itaylor57 | Melissa2012, chose shutdown and a reboot button will appear | 01:52 |
| Melissa2012 | Kiten: yes and it only shows suspend, hibernate and shut down, but no reoobt | 01:52 |
| Melissa2012 | itaylor57: ok weird :P | 01:52 |
| Kiten | then choose shutdown it should ask to reboot or shutdown | 01:52 |
| benn | Kiten i heard first there where in Filesystem/tmp but after the old flash 10 they where moved in firefox cache.. but i cant find them | 01:52 |

| Ologn | Vilemaxim: A file system usually contains multiple superblocks | 01:58 |
| Kiten | benn give me a minute installing a faster method :P | 01:59 |
| Vilemaxim | I didn't mess with the filesystems, but I'm not sure what gpt does to a disk compared to the old system | 01:59 |
| benn | Kiten:Awesome | 01:59 |
| benn | Kiten:Will you use a script? | 01:59 |
| Kiten | gnome-do | 02:00 |

| benn | Kiten:lemmi check | 02:00 |
| Kiten | uhhm well i can't seem to find any | 02:01 |
| benn | ahha its difficult | 02:01 |
| Kiten | you sure they still store locally | 02:01 |
| Kiten | are you wanting to download videos ? | 02:02 |
| Kiten | err get videos | 02:02 |
| benn | since it stream..it must store it somethere | 02:02 |
| benn | somewhere* | 02:02 |
| Kiten | it caches parts at a time | 02:02 |
| Kiten | so most likely it will be all .PARTS or something like that | 02:03 |
| benn | yeah seems so.. | 02:03 |
| Kiten | there is a screen recorder i forgot what its called that you can use to record parts of your screen | 02:03 |
| benn | what is the screen recorder name | 02:04 |
| bazhang | !screencast | Kiten one of these? | 02:04 |
| ubottu | Kiten one of these?: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 02:04 |
| benn | ok | 02:04 |
| benn | you forgot | 02:04 |
| Kiten | XvidCap should work | 02:04 |
| Kiten | rmd is pretty good too | 02:05 |
| Kiten | thanks Bazhang | 02:05 |
| itaylor57 | Melissa2012, chose shutdown and a reboot button will appear | 02:05 |

| Kiten | benn i'd recommend pitivi | 02:07 |
| benn | ok okay | 02:07 |

| benn | yeah.. | 02:08 |
| bo | i like pitivi and open shot... depends on what you're doing | 02:08 |
| benn | bo:just video trim and stuff | 02:08 |

| benn | http://pastebin.com/YzAZreu1 | 02:14 |
| benn | did'nt manage to make it work | 02:14 |
| Kiten | yeah thats because thoses xxxxx are in place of alphanumerics | 02:15 |
| benn | i did change the xxxx | 02:15 |
| Kiten | i'd replace it with * | 02:15 |
| Kiten | * is a wildcard it can match anything even spaces | 02:16 |

| KBentley57 | hey guys, has firefox 9 been released via update-manager for ubuntu 11.10 yet? | 02:26 |
| pangolin | yes | 02:26 |
| DrPenguin | eduardo: udev is a system service that handles device changes, so, for example, you can have a udev rule for when you plug in devices that the system well perform certain actions | 02:27 |

| nitstorm | KBentley57: i assume not... | 02:27 |
| DrPenguin | eduardo: via google, thats ur best bet | 02:27 |
| pangolin | KBentley57: it is in the proposed repo | 02:27 |
| nitstorm | KBentley57: click on the unity button and type update button | 02:28 |
| itsnotabigtruck | is it possible to install ubuntu on a running linux system (that is, load the installer entirely into ram from the filesystem, boot into it, and install) | 02:28 |
| nitstorm | KBentley57: I meant update manager, type update manager | 02:28 |
| KBentley57 | nitstorm: do I need to add the repo? | 02:28 |
| itsnotabigtruck | the idea is to change distros on a dedicated server with KVM access, but no way to attach a cd/usb drive | 02:28 |
| nitstorm | KBentley57: for firefox 9 yes, you need to add the development PPA | 02:28 |
| pangolin | KBentley57: so, no it is not released yet but you can enable the proposed repository in software center | 02:28 |

| freenodiz | <Chipzzz> ,any good links how to do this step by step? use "ssh -X [address]" | 02:53 |
| mrdeb | is it stable now bentley | 02:53 |
| KBentley57 | yeah, i haven't had any problems with it | 02:53 |
| mrdeb | ok | 02:54 |
| mrdeb | so screen has no lines | 02:54 |
| KBentley57 | well, I can say that my screen doesent | 02:54 |
| KBentley57 | what card are you using? | 02:54 |
| Chipzzz | freenodiz: fr'instance, to access nautilus on a machine in the local net, you might type "ssh -X 192.168.100.2", assuming that is the address of the machine | 02:55 |
| mrdeb | idk but last time i tried it was lines across and freezing | 02:55 |
| Chipzzz | freenodiz: once logged on, just type "nautilus" and it will pop up on the remote machine | 02:55 |
| KBentley57 | can you remember what version you tried? | 02:56 |
| mrdeb | no | 02:56 |
| eiriksvin | Can someone help me get my Netgear WNDA3100 USB Wifi adapter working? I have ndis and the driver installed, but nothing | 02:56 |
| freenodiz | Chipzzz,what about the server,should i have to install x in the lucid server?also,could i use openbox instead of gnome?any issues? | 02:57 |
| vmangudi` | freenodiz: you can also open a remote system's folder directly in Nautilus. Open ssh://<ip or url>/folder | 02:57 |
| eiriksvin | it gave and install error that was blank, it shows the device, but the lights won't light up anypne got a clue? | 02:57 |
| KBentley57 | eiriksvin: check this out, not sure if it is for you, but i found it in the first few of a search http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2010/10/netgear-wnda3100-usb-in-ubuntu.html | 02:58 |
| itsnotabigtruck | KBentley57: re the distro change thing, to go from debian i386 to ubuntu amd64 | 02:58 |
| itsnotabigtruck | i think the provider might charge a fee for having them reimage it, so it would be better to try and reimage the disk online | 02:59 |
| KBentley57 | itsnotabigtruck: I see. As far as i know, there is no way to upgrade to 64 bit from x86. Also, I dont think you can mount the image in ram and have it survive a reboot | 02:59 |
| freenodiz | Chipzzz,thanks for the info mate..it sounds good to do it | 02:59 |
| Chipzzz | freenodiz: freenodiz: the ssh server has to be installed on target machine but the client should already be installed on the remote (assuming it is also Ubuntu). I don't know about openbox but have used NX with great success | 02:59 |
| KBentley57 | itsnotabigtruck: Just out of curiosity, is there a technical reason you wish to change distros? | 03:00 |
| Chipzzz | freenodiz: my pleasure & good luck | 03:00 |
| itsnotabigtruck | KBentley57: yeah, mostly because debian squeeze is ancient, and the system has 4 gigs of ram so i386 won't cut it | 03:00 |
| freenodiz | Chipzzz ++ | 03:00 |
| itsnotabigtruck | i was under the impression there's some way to load a kernel image, from a running installation | 03:00 |
| KBentley57 | itsnotabigtruck: does it have a pae kernel? | 03:00 |
| itsnotabigtruck | not sure but that could be changed, though i'm under the impression pae is more than a bit limited | 03:01 |
| _rb_ | _rb_ After applying updates to Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit I get uncompression error when trying to boot normal or recovery mode. (Previous versions boots up but Firefox does not work) | 03:01 |
| KBentley57 | _rb_ it sounds like it's downloading a currupted file of some sort | 03:02 |
| KBentley57 | _rb_: you said it was a clean install? | 03:02 |
| mfroes | i am trying to start an app on a vnc session by using " DISPLAY=:1 path/to/app" and i get this error: http://pastebin.com/LvEdKZNR | 03:03 |
| _rb_ | Kventley57 clean install both times. | 03:03 |
| bo | i was trying to remove a partition (3rd partition) from command line in sudo parted and it said i must unmount it before i modify it with Parted... so then i tried to figure out where it is mounted so that i can unmount it but could not find it... any help please? | 03:03 |
| _rb_ | KBentley57 clean install both times. | 03:03 |
| KBentley57 | bo: check out /dev | 03:03 |
| fokkle | bo: you never found the mount point with the mount command? | 03:03 |
| mrdeb | kbent what card do u have | 03:04 |
| karol_ | hey | 03:04 |
| KBentley57 | _rb_: did the update try to install a different kernel? | 03:04 |
| _rb_ | KBentley57 would a messed up grub cause that error? | 03:04 |
| KBentley57 | I had two 4870's in xfire, but I just got a 6970 for christams, it's sweet | 03:04 |
| bo | kbentley57: how to check out /dev? | 03:05 |
| _rb_ | kbentley57 no, am thinking about installing 10 LTS. | 03:05 |
| KBentley57 | bo: navigate to /dev and do a ls or dir listing | 03:05 |
| bo | ok thanks | 03:05 |
| KBentley57 | _rb_: so you can at least boot to the grub menu where you can choose normal boot or the recovery? | 03:06 |

| Guest16105 | the current shipping version is 2.0. Supposidly it will be fixed in 2.1. | 03:06 |
| Chipzzz | bo "df" will probably tell you what you want to know | 03:07 |
| Guest16105 | Anyone know how to get the update? | 03:07 |
| _rb_ | KBentley57 yes it boots to the grub menu. Normal or recovery fail with the uncompression error. Previous versions boots Ubunt (Where I am now) | 03:07 |

| Duker | I'm having an unusual problem I think; when running java 7 for my minecraft server (vanilla) the java process has a status of 'sleeping' and the process sits at 0% most of the time. I've been told this is a problem with Ubuntu and I wouldn't have it with Debian. Any suggestions on how I could solve this problem? As I am used to Ubuntu and otherwise love it. | 03:07 |
| KBentley57 | brb | 03:07 |
| bo | chipzzz: including mount points? | 03:08 |
| bo | maybe i overlooked that | 03:08 |
| Chipzzz | bo: i think so... try "df -a" | 03:09 |
| bo | what's -a? | 03:09 |
| eduardo | hi, does anyone know how to protect usb ports with password? thanks! | 03:09 |
| Chipzzz | bo: -a = --all | 03:09 |

| robbbie | hello, i just installed ubuntu on a new pc, sound isn't working from hdmi out on video card, can anyone point me in the right direction for debugging? 11.10 64bit | 03:11 |
| KBentley57 | robbie: do you have a video card? or else, what motherboard do you have? | 03:12 |
| robbbie | KBentley57: the video card is a radeon 6450, mobo is asus m5a97 | 03:12 |
| KBentley57 | robbie: you need to use the amd binary blob driver, not the open source driver to have audio over hdmi at the moment | 03:13 |
| robbbie | KBentley57: thanks, do you have a link? | 03:13 |
| KBentley57 | robbie: yes, one sec | 03:13 |

| KBentley57 | robbbie: ! before you leave, please, for the love of your god, read the release notes for instructions :) | 03:15 |
| Duker | Stanley: when running java 7 for my minecraft server (vanilla) the java process has a status of 'sleeping' and the process sits at 0% most of the time. | 03:16 |
| Duker | Even immediately after launching it with lots of CPU usage it is sleeping, then drops down to 0% | 03:16 |
| Chipzzz | Duker: doesn't it wake up when required to do something? | 03:17 |
| Stanley00 | Duker: It's sleeping because it doesnot need to work, | 03:17 |
| Duker | It is only sleeping, many poeple will log in and it is still sleeping and lagging heavily | 03:17 |
| Duker | Upgraded to 11.10 and 7java two days ago on a new machine (same mc server) | 03:18 |
| Duker | java 7*, sorry | 03:18 |
| Duker | Was the fine first 24 hours | 03:18 |
| Duker | Then this sleeping thing started, everything is sleeping except one process | 03:18 |
| milo_ | Hey everybody | 03:19 |
| Stanley00 | Duker: most of my processs is sleeping too, but anything works fine | 03:19 |
| Duker | Then why is it stuck at such low CPU usage | 03:19 |
| ADD_nauseam | anyone has its pangolin tweaked? | 03:19 |

| Chipzzz | Duker: it sounds like the lag is the problem, not the sleeping java... networking or similar problem, maybe? | 03:20 |
| Stanley00 | Duker: I think you should check for error somewhere else, process status sleeping is just fine | 03:20 |
| Oer | Duker, i read Ubuntu uses java jre 6 > http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server#Ubuntu | 03:21 |

| aBound | koffeehauser, I would say grab the driver package from your XP box. But figures you'd need a Net connection to install the package. You could also build/compile the broadcom driver from source. | 04:02 |
| milo_ | Kiten: I had it working perfectly before! I had Ubunutu 10.something and I used the same disk, then had problems with it dropping... | 04:02 |
| milo_ | Kiten: "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" | 04:02 |
| Kiten | yeah did you upgrade ? there was one buntu that it working perfectly with but if you updated with update manager it blacklisted the module | 04:03 |
| Kiten | milo_, yeah thats normal | 04:03 |
| Romance | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/librecad-dev/librecad-daily/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found <-- i hate this *libre* thing, first libreoffice now librecad .. LIBRE sux... any solution? i want to get rid off this libre retarded thing | 04:03 |
| Kiten | ldconfig is just it caching if i recall correctly | 04:03 |
| Kiten | Romance go back to openOffice | 04:04 |
| Kiten | ;P | 04:04 |
| Kiten | I don't like Libre thats why i'm not running 11.04 or 11.10 | 04:04 |
| Kiten | that and i don't like unity | 04:05 |
| Romance | Kiten, i used to have openoffice, i forget maybe i did install libreoffice and it overwritten and get rid the openoffice ( i didnt even uninstall openoffice ) .. Libre is sux | 04:05 |
| Kiten | yeah Romance you know how to get to terminal ? | 04:05 |
| aBound | I don't mind Unity. | 04:05 |
| aBound | :P | 04:05 |
| Romance | and next Kiten | 04:05 |
| Kiten | sudo apt-get remove libreoffice | 04:05 |
| Kiten | actually better sudo apt-get purge libreoffice | 04:06 |
| aBound | Keyboard shortcut to terminal: Ctrl-Alt-T to open a terminal | 04:06 |
| Kiten | milo_, you there / | 04:06 |
| Kiten | *? | 04:06 |
| andygraybeal | yay for ctrl-alt-t : ) | 04:06 |
| Romance | great! the joy of the day, finally i get rid off this libresux | 04:06 |
| KBentley57 | Actually, I don't mind unity either. | 04:06 |
| milo_ | Kiten: Sorry. Ok, what do I do now? | 04:07 |
| KingSphinx | Is there a way to make ISO images of CDs in Ubuntu? I'm trying to make an ISO copy of an old Windows 98 disc I have so I can run it in VirtualBox (I know I can just use the disc itself, but an ISO is much faster). Unfortunately, I don't think Brasero offers a direct option. Would I have to add all files/directories on the CD to a data project in Brasero or is there a simpler way? | 04:07 |
| KBentley57 | use vanilla gnome 3 for a few days and you'll love unity..lol | 04:07 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, KBentley57: i likes unity too :) | 04:07 |
| aBound | hehe | 04:07 |
| escott | KingSphinx, you just dd /dev/cdrom out to a file | 04:07 |
| aBound | I actually prefer the simplicity why make life more complicated? | 04:07 |
| Kiten | in terminal " modprobe -l | grep wl | 04:07 |
| Kiten | " | 04:07 |
| KBentley57 | are librecad and libreoffice even related? | 04:08 |
| aBound | KBentley57, Awesome wallpapers www.interfacelift.com | 04:08 |
| diego | Hey guys! | 04:08 |
| almoxarife | KingSphinx: do you have brasero installed? | 04:08 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, By the way thanks. | 04:08 |
| Romance | Ok, another error happened, i open the update manager and here it goes --> 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.' | 04:08 |
| benn | help my own .ls file is not working because of premission denied | 04:09 |
| benn | how do i unlock the file | 04:09 |
| Romance | benn chmod +x file | 04:09 |
| benn | BIG THANKS | 04:09 |
| benn | Romance | 04:09 |
| Romance | in terminal | 04:09 |
| Romance | aight | 04:09 |
| KBentley57 | aBound: those are pretty sweet | 04:09 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, :) your welcome. i'm tired of listenign to people whine so much also (secondly of course) | 04:09 |
| === foenix is now known as Guest53138 | ||
| Kiten | hmm romance have you tried using synaptic ? | 04:09 |
| Romance | hold | 04:10 |
| Kiten | milo_, did you see my post ? | 04:10 |
| milo_ | Kiten: Ok done. | 04:10 |
| Romance | same happened Kiten | 04:10 |
| Kiten | milo_, you get any matches in kernel/drivers/net/wireless ? | 04:10 |
| benn | Kiten:Still no cache found | 04:11 |
| Kiten | well if you really want to get rid of it Romance the executable is sitting in /usr/bin/ | 04:11 |
| KBentley57 | Wellllll, time to compile a custom kernel then... haha | 04:11 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, I know what you mean but people are not used to change. Other than that all the hard work they put into customizing their desktops. | 04:11 |
| Kiten | benn i forgot what your earlier problem was could you remind me ? | 04:11 |
| milo_ | Kiten: nothing in the list looks familiar... | 04:11 |
| Romance | Kiten : actually i didnt want to remove any, just want to do upgrade, but errors so much | 04:11 |
| benn | Kiten:lol ,about getting videos cache from mozzila folder or somewhere else | 04:11 |
| KBentley57 | speaking of which, has anyone tested a build of the 3.2 kernel? | 04:12 |
| Kiten | milo_, msg me the out put of modprobe -l | grep broadcom, modprobe -l | grep bf43, modprobe -l | grep bmwl | 04:12 |
| === Guest53138 is now known as foenix | ||
| Romance | benn you go to type in firefox tab --> about:cache | 04:12 |
| benn | Romance aready did | 04:13 |
| Romance | about:cache will tell you the path of your cache | 04:13 |
| Romance | and? | 04:13 |
| benn | in there there is a b c folders | 04:13 |
| Romance | oh forgot .mozilla is hidden | 04:13 |
| Romance | any . is a hide folders | 04:13 |
| KBentley57 | CTRL+H | 04:13 |
| Romance | so go to Home Folder | 04:13 |
| KingSphinx | almoxarife: Thank you! All this time, and I only now learned how to use dd... I should be ashamed. | 04:13 |
| aBound | KBentley57, I previously used 12.04 Alpha 1 which used the 3.2 Kernel. | 04:13 |
| benn | and i search for videos and i dont find them | 04:13 |
| Romance | and ctrl + h | 04:13 |
| benn | i know i know | 04:13 |
| benn | i am in the folder of cache | 04:13 |
| KBentley57 | sorry :) | 04:13 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, yes, i didn't consider the customatization.. for work i would love go go there, but i'm afraid :P | 04:13 |
| KingSphinx | almoxarife: Oops, wasn't meant for you. | 04:14 |
| KBentley57 | I usually build my *buntus from the minimal install ISO's | 04:14 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, To go too 12.04? :P | 04:14 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, well not 12.04, but unity... i would end up using failback i think | 04:14 |
| Romance | benn, some videos i play didnt store a cache and some do, it was fine before the all the regularly upgrades i done, now i just messed up my ubuntu lol | 04:14 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, Gave gnome-shell a try yet? | 04:15 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, i don't want all the people at work to go balistic | 04:15 |
| milo_ | Kiten: There's no output | 04:15 |
| aBound | Unity is pretty easy to use combine it with the synapse app and you're golden. :P | 04:15 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, no, i should install alpha right now. | 04:15 |
| benn | Romance:hahah | 04:15 |
| KingSphinx | escott: Thank you! All this time, and I only just now learn how to use dd... I should be ashamed. | 04:15 |
| aBound | I just changed my unity icons. | 04:15 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, synapse ? | 04:15 |
| Kiten | hmm one sec in the meantime milo run this sudo apt-get install build essentials | 04:15 |
| benn | Romance:yeah i heard flash 10 was easier ..just in tmp | 04:15 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, I used it for like two or three days. Software center takes forever to load and doesn't install anything and I had some other issues. | 04:16 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, aah 12.04 for now? | 04:16 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, Ever used gnome-do before? Synapse is a better alternative. | 04:16 |
| Romance | it was in tmp, now adobe ruined it up, copyrights concerns THEY SAY | 04:16 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, But unity does feel a bit more stable on 12.04 rather than 11.10. | 04:17 |
| benn | Romance:i still wonder..the video must go somewhere..Do you find your videos in firefox/profile/cache/2A? | 04:17 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, no i don't know 'gnome-do' :( erp... don't be mean | 04:17 |
| benn | Romance:i am not finding it no where | 04:17 |
| milo_ | Kiten: "E: Package 'build' has no installation candidate" | 04:17 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/quickly-find-search-launcher-app-synapse-ubuntu/ | 04:17 |
| Romance | Ben64 : my cache is in /firefox/hdgix95d.default/cache | 04:18 |
| aBound | Launching synapse is as easy as pressing: ctrl-space to launch it. | 04:18 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, so this is better than the built-in launcher? | 04:18 |
| Ben64 | Romance: ok?? | 04:18 |
| Romance | oh wrong | 04:18 |
| Romance | benn : my cache is in /firefox/hdgix95d.default/cache | 04:18 |
| benn | Romance:mine in .mozilla/firefox/zr07ca2u.default/Cache | 04:18 |
| benn | Romance:i am not finding it | 04:18 |
| benn | Romance:the video | 04:19 |
| Romance | if you CLOSE a video, it will just go? | 04:19 |
| benn | Romance:but i have it streamed and it is opened in my firefox in youtube | 04:19 |
| benn | Romance:Flash version 11 | 04:19 |
| Romance | benn : yes i had the same issue, some videos on youtube store cache and some dont, i dont know why | 04:20 |
| Kiten | milo_, whoops sudo apt-get install build-essentials | 04:20 |
| benn | Romance:ok | 04:20 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, As in lenses for unity? I prefer it overall. | 04:20 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, lenses they are called? | 04:20 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, like the alt-f2 ? | 04:20 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, Alt-F2 tends to run a command. :P | 04:21 |
| Kiten | milo are you 32bit or 64 bit ? | 04:21 |
| Romance | Kiten : did you find my problem solution? can't find it. | 04:21 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, I have a ubuntu key on my laptop. :P | 04:21 |
| Omega11 | ubuntu linux sucks i use windows 7 | 04:21 |
| milo_ | Kiten: same thing pretty much "E: Unable to locate package build-essentials" | 04:21 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, yes, i use alt-f2 to run everything | 04:22 |
| Romance | Omega11 :D | 04:22 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, tell me about 'lenses' | 04:22 |
| aBound | My ubuntu key launches Unity Lenses. Whereas ctrl-space launches synapse for me. Synapse also has more plugins. | 04:22 |
| Omega11 | i don't like linux | 04:22 |
| Omega11 | too hard to use | 04:22 |
| Romance | then go Omega11 | 04:22 |
| benn | hahaha | 04:22 |
| Kiten | milo_, whoops sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:22 |
| andygraybeal | aaah ..'ubuntu key' | 04:22 |
| * KingSphinx must not feed the troll... | 04:22 | |
| andygraybeal | sorry | 04:22 |
| aBound | Unity lenses is just the default launcher in Unity. | 04:22 |
| andygraybeal | so lenses is what that menu is called | 04:22 |
| Kiten | sorry milo_ i forgot its build-essential not build-essentials | 04:22 |
| aBound | Yes | 04:23 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, aab yes yes.. then :) | 04:23 |
| Omega11 | torrents are illegal how come it says to use torrents in the topi | 04:23 |
| benn | Omegall:your right but..the thing is it take less memory and it does more like Autodesk Maya | 04:23 |
| ubluntu | Omega11: how are torrents illegal ? | 04:23 |
| Kiten | Omega11, torrents ARE NOT ILLEGAL | 04:23 |
| milo_ | Kiten: Ok, that worked. | 04:23 |
| aBound | Synapse is just an alternative launcher. | 04:23 |
| Omega11 | torrents are stealing stuff | 04:23 |
| benn | torrents are not illegal | 04:23 |
| benn | its sharing | 04:23 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, understand now! | 04:23 |
| ubluntu | he's just trolling. no one feed it. | 04:23 |
| Romance | Kiten: :( | 04:23 |
| benn | friends are sharing stuff to us | 04:24 |
| Kiten | yeah sorry milo was my bad | 04:24 |
| aBound | Synapse also carries plugins so it can be extended whereas lenses can't. :P | 04:24 |
| benn | Omegall feed my shit | 04:24 |
| Kiten | Romance i know i know give me a few minutes :P | 04:24 |
| Romance | aight kitties | 04:24 |

| Kiten | milo_, are you 32 bit or 64 bit ? | 04:24 |
| Omega11 | Kiten: my windows 7 is 64 bit | 04:24 |
| Omega11 | i love it | 04:24 |
| Omega11 | very easy to use | 04:24 |

| Weems | I cannot start this service: Starting app server(s) uwsgi [fail] | 04:27 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, nice, reaching for the mouse is a stretch for me too :) | 04:27 |
| aBound | haha | 04:27 |
| milo_ | Kiten: Learning is fun...hey you sent me the hybrid pacakge? There's a thing that says DCC Status with a familiar looking driver file | 04:28 |
| Kiten | panderiz that was a dirty trick | 04:28 |
| panderiz | It's just as amusing every time | 04:28 |
| andygraybeal | i totally love that they have integrated like 'ubuntu-key+number key' to launch apps!!! | 04:28 |
| milo_ | Kiten: I tried the ndiswrapper, and I think it was the hybrid driver you sent that got my wifi working the first time. | 04:28 |
| Kiten | yeah that is the driver | 04:28 |
| bindi | andygraybeal: you mean the meta key? or the windows key as more commonly known | 04:28 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, btw, how do you have 'ubuntu key' and not 'window key' ? | 04:29 |
| Kiten | any how is it working now ? | 04:29 |
| Kiten | panderiz, i'll get you back | 04:29 |
| andygraybeal | bindi, totally 'windows key' :) | 04:29 |
| andygraybeal | i just didn't want to mention it | 04:29 |
| bindi | andygraybeal: that's been in windows 7 since release, btw :) | 04:29 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, I have a prebuilt and preconfigured www.system76.com machine. Preinstalled for ubuntu. | 04:29 |
| bindi | just.. saying.. :D | 04:29 |
| panderiz | Kiten, Reach arounds are my biggest weakness | 04:29 |
| andygraybeal | bindi, nice :) !! | 04:30 |
| milo_ | panderiz: Ahaha, gross... | 04:30 |
| aBound | I had a few dings when I bought the machine. | 04:30 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, aah very nice.. i have looked at their systems | 04:30 |
| Kiten | milo_, is your wifi working now ? | 04:30 |
| Kiten | thought so :P | 04:30 |
| Kiten | any how download that | 04:30 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, I have 16GB of unnecessary RAM. :P | 04:30 |
| Kiten | your going to need to be in terminal for this one | 04:30 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, If I could take the machine back I'd get the Lemur Ultra except it might have issues with Compiz. | 04:31 |
| Kiten | wherever you placed that cd /place/you/put/it | 04:31 |
| andygraybeal | hahahah omg, nice. i think my server at work has 12GB right now (this coming year, though upgrade to like crazy amount) | 04:31 |
| milo_ | Kiten: downloading the driver. Not sure what to do next. I uninstalled teh Knetwork manager and downloaded Wicd. Says "bad password" and I was trying to download 1.6 instead of 1.7 to fix the problem. Will that be an issue? | 04:31 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, What's the OS the servers running on? | 04:31 |
| andygraybeal | lemur is musical control interface? | 04:31 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, System76 has a laptop called Lemur Ultra. | 04:32 |
| Kiten | milo_, tar xf hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5_100_82_112.tar | 04:32 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, don't be mean, i can't handle it well - i run 10.04 on servers. | 04:32 |
| w30 | there are tux keys for sale on several sites Just pry off the windows key and pop the tux key on (after crawling on the floor to find the spring that went flying). | 04:32 |
| aBound | hehe | 04:32 |
| Kiten | once you've done that then type make | 04:32 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, aah the lemur means different things then. | 04:32 |
| aBound | I'd be running Debian/FreeBSD on them machines even though my lack of Linux/BSD knowledge forbids me. lol | 04:32 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, my firewall was obsd, now fbsd. | 04:33 |
| milo_ | Kiten: so I type in " tar xf hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5_100_82_112.tar" | 04:33 |
| milo_ | ? | 04:33 |
| Kiten | yeah | 04:33 |
| aBound | 8GB is good enough for Ubuntu unless you're doing Blender work like 3D. | 04:33 |
| Kiten | are you in the directory where it was at ? | 04:33 |
| ubluntu | 2gb is good enough for ubuntu really... | 04:33 |
| ubluntu | just depends what you are going to do | 04:33 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, i've run bsd since ... i dunno 18 yrs ago? | 04:33 |
| aBound | ubluntu, I almost hit the milestone of 1GB using ubuntu. :P | 04:34 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, I ran it once and it ran nice, solid and stable. | 04:34 |
| milo_ | Kiten: yeah, I'm looking at it in Dolphin | 04:34 |
| aBound | Eventually I may move to FreeBSD as a desktop. | 04:34 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, at work, i'm not smart enough to run bsd as 'userspace' - i use ltsp on 10.04, it's friggen magic + zentyal to fill in the gabs | 04:34 |
| andygraybeal | gaps | 04:34 |
| Kiten | milo_, i meant in terminal does it say your in the directory its in ? | 04:34 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, i would like to play with fbsd as desktop too :) | 04:35 |
| Kiten | milo_, type ls to list the files in that directory | 04:35 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, we easily consume 8GB at work, as ltsp is the work horse.. i need to upgrade the machine | 04:35 |
| andygraybeal | i think it upgrades to like 50someGB | 04:35 |
| napster | How to check if my bluetooth adapter works? I've installed blueman GUI and I get an error message "No Adapters Found" | 04:35 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, They have books on freebsd may have to download one of those or buy one. | 04:36 |
| milo_ | Kiten: Oh, I missed that part. Uhm... little confused. I typed ls and it named a bunch of folders under Home I think. | 04:36 |
| Romance | :( | 04:36 |
| Kiten | milo_, where does dolphin say that file i gave is ? | 04:36 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, ltsp what's that? | 04:36 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, Always virtualbox for freebsd. :-) | 04:37 |
| Kiten | milo_, actually if you wanted me to do it for you i could all you'd need to do is install teamviewer | 04:37 |
| Kiten | that is if you trust me enough to be on your machine | 04:37 |
| pythonirc101 | who do I restart ssh ? service ssh restart ---> restart: Unknown instance: | 04:37 |
| andygraybeal | ltsp = linux terminal server project... you can run like 100's of desktops off of one server | 04:37 |
| aBound | I still gotta learn vim. | 04:37 |
| andygraybeal | like mainframe and dumbterminnal setup | 04:37 |
| aBound | Dang that's crazy. | 04:37 |
| andygraybeal | ya, and they got it so it clusters too, it's totally bad ass | 04:38 |
| Kiten | aBound, due vim is so freaking easy man | 04:38 |
| milo_ | Kiten: sure. I mean, my comp is probably being hacked anyway. I just need to get a video recorder for later so I know how to do it/make sure I'm not being messed with | 04:38 |
| Kiten | you've used teamviewer before then ? | 04:38 |
| aBound | Kiten, Not when it comes to being a new user. lol | 04:38 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, yea, i use kvm as to vbox.. but ya.. i should vm a fbsd box sometime | 04:38 |
| milo_ | Kiten: No, but I've had tech support use stuff to control my mouse and stuff. Guessing it's the same type of stuff. Forgot what the IT industry calls it. | 04:39 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, hey, i'm gonna get on running 12.04 alphie for the hey of it | 04:39 |
| aBound | I'm thinking about grabbing the book for VIM. | 04:39 |
| Kiten | aBound, just remember that vim functions in modes when you push i that is insert you push esc to go back to 0 mode(or whatever you want to call it | 04:39 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, Good luck it uses a bunch of new packages which is nice. | 04:39 |
| Kiten | ) | 04:39 |
| Romance | aBound : dont think, do it :) | 04:39 |

| andygraybeal | aBound, your very nice. thank you :) | 04:40 |
| aBound | Kiten, Yeah but see like adding vimscripts, colored themes and configuration files confuses me. Seeing as there's not much documentation on the subject. | 04:40 |
| milo_ | Kiten: Don't ask me about repos. | 04:40 |
| aBound | Man pages are too huge. | 04:41 |
| Kiten | romance cd /usr/bin/ rm libreoffice | 04:41 |
| andygraybeal | aBound, ltsp has #ltsp :) | 04:41 |
| Kiten | cd /usr/share/ | 04:41 |
| aBound | andygraybeal, No problem and welcome. | 04:41 |
| Kiten | rm libreoffice, cd /usr/lib/, rm -rf libreoffice | 04:41 |
| Kiten | aBound, yeah adding themes is kinda tough | 04:42 |
| Kiten | milo_, yeah i know its just shocking to think that teamviewer isn't on there | 04:42 |
| aBound | I want vim to be my primary editor and either nano/geany for quick edits. | 04:42 |

| Kiten | milo_, i know ;P lmao | 04:43 |
| milo_ | Kiten: Oh. Ok, that went over my head then. Processor...terminal command for that? | 04:43 |

| thomedy | i dont even know what the problem is | 04:48 |
| MerlynKorr | the archives wont extract n such a way as to place the files in an nstallable fashion. | 04:48 |
| Romance | Kiten : http://pastebin.com/h0Z017Hb | 04:48 |
| ubluntu | MerlynKorr: are they source archives. or like .deb files ? | 04:48 |
| milo_ | Kiten: Well you're a gangsta compared to me at this so no worries. | 04:48 |
| MerlynKorr | instead, t gives an error about the extraction.... | 04:48 |
| Kiten | Romance: again sorry i shoulda read docs better, sudo apt-get check -f | 04:49 |
| MerlynKorr | the extraction files are of both types i believ e... yet im n ot sure, let me chack. | 04:49 |
| Chipzzz | thomedy: what kind of wireless adaptor? | 04:49 |
| Kiten | milo_, take that file please :P | 04:50 |
| Romance | Kiten : did it, nothing changed | 04:50 |
| Kiten | Romance, that did nothing ? | 04:50 |
| aBound | I'm so amazed at Ubuntu I can do almost everything from my desktop. | 04:50 |
| Romance | Kiten : yes, only showed me "Reading state information... Done" | 04:50 |
| milo_ | Kiten: My bad. Didn't notice that. I'll keep an I out for DCC messages next time. | 04:50 |
| Romance | and i did update, back the same error | 04:50 |

| Kiten | then type cd /path/that/dolphin/has/at/top | 04:52 |
| thomedy | im sorry my thing didn't scroll down | 04:52 |
| aBound | Kiten, I know this isn't ubuntu-related but how'd you learn vim? | 04:52 |
| Romance | Kiten : here http://pastebin.com/F6U6fyv6 | 04:52 |
| MerlynKorr | theres no point i n trying to figure it out when there isnt anythin g to figure out, but i do have another question regarding disc uploads to cdrom./ | 04:52 |
| milo_ | Kiten: ok, I see it now >home>downloads | 04:53 |
| Kiten | thomedy, we are kinda slim on answerers right now we have to many askers ;p | 04:53 |
| Kiten | i'll get to you after i finish with milo and romance | 04:53 |
| Chipzzz | thomedy: what kind of adaptor are you trying to set up? | 04:53 |
| thomedy | my wireless adaptor is an ark500 | 04:53 |
| thomedy | i dont know how to find adapter | 04:53 |
| thomedy | to get the controller/driver i lspci | 04:53 |
| aBound | :P | 04:53 |
| MerlynKorr | where there are files copied to disc it will not then reload them in any operable way...how do i overcome this/ | 04:53 |
| thomedy | -k | 04:53 |
| Kiten | milo cd /home/username/Downloads | 04:53 |
| TBotNik | All: Having an FTP problem. Most Linux FTP clients do not allow for linking to .ppk, .pem or .dsa key pair files and then logging in without password, via the authentication file. I typically use FileZilla, but they say they link to Putty, so recommend opening Putty to the host machine via the authentication file method, which they say will then allow FieZilla to see the auth file in use and log in on FileZilla. I found this only works | 04:54 |
| TBotNik | All: Key pair means SFTP | 04:54 |
| Kiten | milo_, you ther ? | 04:55 |
| Kiten | *there ? | 04:55 |
| milo_ | Kiten: yeah, having to copy/paste a lot to get things right, but I'm there | 04:55 |
| MerlynKorr | how does one go about beng able to upload file discs that were burned to disc from KDE Kubuntu? | 04:55 |
| thomedy | oh i just realized the ar5001 is my adaptor | 04:55 |
| Kiten | so your in /home/username/Downloads ? | 04:55 |
| milo_ | Kiten: yeah, having to copy/paste a lot to get things right, but I'm there | 04:55 |
| Kiten | type ls and do you see wl.ko ? | 04:55 |
| MerlynKorr | because when i do that the returning them to the computer of m kne or someone elses gets errors and will not and cannot be done. | 04:56 |
| Romance | MerlynKorr use Brasero | 04:56 |
| milo_ | Kiten: Yes sir. It's there. | 04:56 |
| Kiten | Romance /msg me the out put of a random install attempt | 04:56 |

| MerlynKorr | right yet when i try to reinstall the disc file then i get inoperable apps. | 04:56 |
| Romance | Kiten : i tried nmap and here it is http://pastebin.com/F6U6fyv6 | 04:57 |

| MerlynKorr | they will not most of the time return in operable status... | 04:57 |
| thomedy | okay i will look atthat in a sec but for context here is what i get | 04:58 |
| thomedy | i click the wifi and then i dmesg | 04:58 |

| benbloom | quick question: how do i delay the mounting of an nfs in fstab until the network is ready? | 04:59 |
| Kiten | Romance to be honest you would really be better off reinstalling but i'll try to help you through it | 04:59 |
| Kiten | so that you don't have to | 04:59 |
| Romance | benbloom : somewhere in terminal by the command mount .. try mount -h | 04:59 |
| Romance | aight Kiten im waiting | 05:00 |
| thomedy | this looks like a hilarious hack but i am going to try it right now | 05:00 |
| thomedy | should i be concerned that i disabled my ipv6 | 05:00 |
| thomedy | should i reinable that | 05:00 |
| thomedy | i followed a google | 05:00 |
| benbloom | Romance: problem is i have my nfs in /etc/fstab and it's not loading at boot but if i 'umount -a' then 'mount -a' they show up fine | 05:01 |

| Levy | brb | 05:07 |
| Kiten | Romance ok your probably going to have to reinstall you've got a seriously broken installation | 05:07 |
| forcemp | has anyone seen an issue where your xserver crashes during various operations like file save and laptop lid closing? | 05:07 |
| Romance | oh my :( | 05:07 |
| Kiten | Romance, apt should have fix the missing dependencies | 05:07 |
| aBound | Ahh, it shows my name aBound in the room but ahh... | 05:07 |
| aBound | Oops. | 05:08 |
| aBound | haha | 05:08 |
| forcemp | I noticed that my xserve only crashes when my dmesg reports an issue with drm at boot up. | 05:08 |
| Kiten | brb RR | 05:08 |
| Romance | how about *install manually* the missing dependencies from source code, will it help Kiten? | 05:08 |
| subcool | has avira rubbed anyone the wrong way? | 05:09 |
| subcool | i hope these fix it- but she has a crazy virus | 05:09 |
| subcool | its disabling me from EVERYTHING, safemode, keyboard, network connections. i had to install and setup my ubuntu usb just to bypass everything. | 05:10 |
| forcemp | good evening everyone, I am hoping to get some of your thoughts on why my xserver maybe crashing. | 05:10 |
| almoxarife | Romance: you all scritp-kiddie to accomplish what? | 05:11 |
| aBound | subcool, Haven't really used an antivirus for Ubuntu if that's what you're referring too. | 05:11 |
| subcool | aBound: no- using ubuntu to fix a Win system | 05:11 |
| Chipzzz | forcemp: any background on the problem? recent hardware changes, etc? | 05:11 |
| Romance | almoxarife? | 05:11 |
| aBound | subcool, Haven't tried Avira before. | 05:12 |
| aBound | Too bad you can't run NOD32 in it. | 05:12 |
| almoxarife | Romance: what was broke? to begin with? | 05:13 |
| Kiten | Romance, yeah you could but i'm telling its a PITA | 05:13 |
| Kiten | and you don't have to install from source | 05:13 |
| Romance | the packages almoxarife | 05:13 |
| Kiten | you could download from ubuntus online repos | 05:13 |
| almoxarife | Romance: packages, to accomplish what? | 05:14 |
| Romance | updates | 05:14 |
| forcemp | @chipzzz no the behavior has been present for quite some time through different kernel versions. I noticed that it will crash on certian operations like a file save in kate or from just closing the lid on my laptop without it going to sleep. when i look at dmesg i can see drm errors right away on boot up. But when i boot up and the errors are not present I dont have issues. | 05:14 |
| thomedy | okay somehow i have disabled my wireless and cant turn it back on | 05:14 |
| thomedy | this sucks | 05:14 |
| Kiten | almoxarife, http://pastebin.com/F6U6fyv6 thats what hes having | 05:14 |
| aBound | Alright ya'll I'm outta here have a happy new years eve. :P | 05:14 |
| forcemp | @abound you could browse the typical virus locations like system32 | 05:15 |
| Chipzzz | forcemp: how old is the laptop? | 05:15 |
| robbbie | so i have my radeon card working now with fglrx driver, sound works over hdmi, etc image is better however the desktop does not span the full width of the monitor, i have at least a half inch bezel that i want to get rid of | 05:15 |
| forcemp | @chipzzz about two years. HP 6730b | 05:15 |
| almoxarife | Kiten: and what causes that normally? | 05:15 |
| Kiten | corrupt cache | 05:16 |
| Kiten | could be numerous things | 05:16 |
| ubluntu | robbbie: do an xrandr -q whats the resolution? does it match the max of the monitor ? | 05:16 |
| robbbie | ubluntu: res is 1920x1080 i believe thats max. it was working fine until i installed the fglrx driver from AMD, however sound wasn't working over hdmi | 05:17 |
| almoxarife | Kiten: how about a ppa ? broke the base system? | 05:17 |
| Chipzzz | forcemp: I'm suspicious of the hardware... any indication the problems may be temperature dependent? | 05:17 |
| forcemp | when i run #dmesg | grep -i drm i get : [ 309.145225] [drm:i915_report_and_clear_eir] *ERROR* EIR stuck: 0x00000010, masking | 05:17 |
| ubluntu | robbbie: can you pastebin your xrandr -q ? | 05:18 |
| robbbie | ubluntu: sure, one sec | 05:18 |
| Kiten | yeah that definitely would break his cache and cause apt to freak out | 05:18 |
| robbbie | ubluntu: http://pastebin.com/k6NvEWbv | 05:18 |
| Kiten | Romance, you know how to get to your package sources ? | 05:18 |
| Romance | i have seen this IRC log anyway http://emc.mah.priv.at/irc/%23cam/2011-07-25.html .. they are talking about same problem as mine, " <ries> Apparently the ppa doesn't work for 10.04, so you should remove that " | 05:18 |
| Kiten | wait a sec | 05:19 |
| Kiten | i'm on 10.04 | 05:19 |
| Romance | "ries> you might want to coordinate that with Scott howard" .,. "<KimK> The guy with the broken ppa? The one that borked my Synaptic? " | 05:19 |
| Romance | get my package sources Kiten? | 05:19 |
| forcemp | chipzzz i have not seen any temperature events but when i login on first boot up when the drm error is present xorg is extremely slow | 05:20 |
| Kiten | System->Administration->Software Sources | 05:20 |
| rooks | for all of the unity haters, heres gnome3/gnome-classic on ubuntu11.10 dressed up to look like gnome2 on ubuntu10.10 :) just uploaded :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7xIfZZhjHo | 05:20 |
| Romance | aight | 05:20 |
| rhizmoe | "look like" is the easy part | 05:20 |
| Kiten | rooks, i didn't mind the new look i just didn't like that it was sort of forced | 05:20 |
| Chipzzz | forcemp: drm is about video processes... dust has a nasty habit of accumulating in the heat sink ducts in laptops... has the machine ever been in for repair or preventative maintenance? | 05:20 |
| rhizmoe | worked like crap on my graphics card | 05:21 |
| Kiten | Romance, did you see my post ? | 05:21 |
| rooks | Kiten, yeah,, so i did. that is why i did that convo, to make it sane again :P | 05:21 |
| almoxarife | Romance: you added a ppa recently? | 05:21 |
| Romance | yes Kiten, opened it | 05:21 |
| Romance | almoxarife guess so | 05:21 |
| robbbie | ubluntu: few strange things have started happening since installing the driver and running aticonfig, for example all the icons in nautilus are the same, paper icon, no folders for directories, also the workspace switcher is different when i do ctrl+alt+arrow, i have been using linux for a long time but cli only for the most part | 05:21 |
| almoxarife | Romance: don't guess, you did or did not, I don't have the borked system | 05:22 |
| Kiten | Romance, go to the other software tab and list all the items in a /msg to me | 05:22 |
| ubluntu | robbbie: robbbie yea that is all very weird.... it looks like it should use all of the screen. sounds like something is very wrong but I'm not really sure what it is, how did you install fglrx throuhg the gtk app ? | 05:22 |
| forcemp | chipzzz i had my hinge break about a year ago and hp replaced the bezel, i keep my system rather clean and can see my heat sink clear. | 05:23 |
| robbbie | ubluntu: i believe it was a shell script | 05:23 |
| Kiten | rooks, also didn't like the way it felt its definitely sleek i'll give you that much | 05:23 |
| Chipzzz | forcemp: so much for my theory :( | 05:23 |
| almoxarife | Romance: and before you go all script-kiddie on your system again, the key to your initial problem is 'ppa-purge' , then you can start again, btw, no guarantee it will work, but it's the only thing left | 05:24 |
| ubluntu | robbbie: I believe that the *official* way to install fglrx is through that gtk app. jockey-gtk is it? | 05:24 |
| robbbie | ubluntu: ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64.run from amd | 05:24 |
| ubluntu | !ati | 05:24 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 05:24 |
| ubluntu | robbbie: does fglrxinfo look good ? | 05:25 |
| Romance | Heh | 05:25 |
| forcemp | chipzzz: thanks for trying. its been an annoying feature where when i log in i just run dmesg | grep -i drm and if i see any errors i just reboot and i am good for that session. | 05:26 |
| Kiten | Romance, there is a chat limit bud even for /msg's | 05:26 |
| Romance | didnt know | 05:26 |
| Romance | http://pastebin.com/XwS8941e | 05:26 |
| Kiten | also i didn't need the random text ;p | 05:26 |
| Romance | :D | 05:26 |
| thomedy | okay now i dont have eth0 or wlan0 | 05:26 |
| thomedy | this sucks | 05:26 |
| Romance | thomedy iwconfig | 05:27 |
| Chipzzz | forcemp: you might try reinstalling the video drivers, though, in case they've become corrupted... as I mentioned, drm is the (D)rect (R)endering (M)anager | 05:27 |
| thomedy | maybe i have eth0 iwconfig says no wireless extension but it shouldn't since eth0 is wired | 05:28 |
| forcemp | ah ok. i thought it was digital rights management. ill try to reinstall the driver. thanks | 05:28 |
| thomedy | however my wireless is greyed out and when i ifconfig wlan0 up | 05:28 |
| DrPenguin | forcemp: it is, but different context ^^ | 05:28 |
| Chipzzz | my pleasure. good luck | 05:28 |
| DrPenguin | thomedy: eth0 should say no wireless extension in iwconfig | 05:29 |
| DrPenguin | because it isnt a wireless device | 05:29 |
| forcemp | thanks for clarifying dr penguin. | 05:29 |
| * Kiten will be back going to try something | 05:29 | |
| DrPenguin | forcemp: no problemo | 05:30 |
| robbbie | ubluntu: thanks i am reinstalling it the proper way :P | 05:30 |
| Chr|s | Anyone here play Urban Terror or used too? having problems starting it up in ubuntu. It runs as a task, but I see now window | 05:30 |
| DrPenguin | Chr|s: my first recommendation would be to kick it off in a terminal shell, redirecting stderr to stdout and see if it pukes | 05:30 |

| Resistance | how can i find my CPU model via command line | 05:33 |
| DrPenguin | Resistance: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 05:33 |
| Resistance | thanks | 05:33 |
| DrPenguin | naievely.. you may be able to just grep model | 05:33 |
| Chr|s | DrPenguin, its been awhile for me using linux. Just typing the executable file name in terminal in the current folder isn't starting it | 05:34 |
| thomedy675 | okay i dmesg and i get eth0 link is down and also a nother line that says eth0 not ready | 05:34 |
| clear` | hey guys, anyone know how to completely remove gnome-shell from ubuntu 11.10 | 05:34 |
| thomedy675 | so i ifconfig eth0 up | 05:34 |
| thomedy675 | and ican at least see it in ifconfig | 05:34 |
| thomedy675 | but dmesg is still giving me errors | 05:35 |
| Guest79686 | I have a problem, Banshee media player does not detect my music cd's in ubuntu 11.10, any ideas? | 05:35 |
| DrPenguin | Chr|s: is the game not in your path? you will have to refer to it absolutely | 05:35 |
| Chr|s | yes im in the folder where it is located | 05:35 |
| DrPenguin | Chr|s: prefix the bin with ./, most likely . is not in your path | 05:36 |

| shadaloo | my mplayer makes a skipping sound when I skip | 05:38 |
| shadaloo | after an update to 11.10 | 05:38 |

| shadaloo | no one smart is online right now | 05:43 |
| bis0n | I'm searchin to use wget with recusive directories, but only for directories name "tst" on all tree | 05:43 |
| Kiten | Guest79686, you probably didn't burn them as music cd's you probably burnt them as data cd's | 05:44 |
| robbbie | anyone have this issue with nautilus? i need to restore the default icons.. | 05:44 |
| Chr|s | DrPenguin, I try running it in terminal and I get shared lib error, no such file or directory. File name the game is looking for is "libSDL-1.2.so.0" | 05:45 |
| bis0n | anyone? need use regex? :/ | 05:45 |
| Guest79686 | the music cd's are the originals | 05:45 |
| DrPenguin | Chr|s: ok thats a good sign ^^ we now know whats the problem is.. can you do a find on that file? maybe its there but its not looking where it is | 05:45 |
| ubluntu | Guest79686: do other programs see your cd's ? | 05:45 |
| Guest79686 | no | 05:46 |
| DrPenguin | bis0n: have you tried looking at wgets man page? | 05:46 |
| bis0n | DrPenguin, for sure | 05:46 |
| bis0n | I'm using -I but that don't work | 05:46 |
| bis0n | for me | 05:46 |
| SubCool | can someone help me clean some stupid stuff up. My usb install of kubuntu went a lil crazy. I have tried to install Antivirus stuff on here and its not going very weell | 05:47 |
| ubluntu | Guest79686: does dmesg | grep CD or dmesg | grep DVD show anything ? | 05:47 |
| SubCool | Avast killed something in its lock file | 05:47 |
| SubCool | spamassassin freezes | 05:47 |
| SubCool | idk how to use clam anymore | 05:47 |
| bis0n | -I take /home/tst/ buet not /home/directoryX/tst/ | 05:47 |
| SubCool | but id like to clear up those two thigns first. | 05:47 |
| SubCool | also- after running one of the virus cleaners... it cleared SOME stuff on the WIN host- but- appearently no wehre near as much as needed | 05:48 |
| Guest79686 | i don't think so, should i try another media player program instead of banshee/ | 05:48 |
| Guest79686 | ? | 05:48 |
| SubCool | PM - would be helpful, because im BARELY looking at this screen, and im on webchat | 05:48 |
| ypsjd | #join ubuntu-cn | 05:48 |
| DrPenguin | bis0n: readning the manpage, -l is supposed to specify depth.. how are you exec;ing it? | 05:49 |
| robbbie | thinking about removing everything nautilus and reinstalling it all... | 05:49 |
| bis0n | I'm using -r with default -l (5) | 05:49 |
| ubluntu | Guest79686: you should have something show up in dmesg.... ls /dev | grep cd | 05:50 |
| bis0n | wget -r -l 5 -I tst domain.com/dir/ | 05:50 |
| bis0n | ok for domain.com/dir/tst but not for domain.com/dir/directoryX/tst | 05:51 |
| Chipzzz | bis0n: maybe it's a permission problem | 05:51 |
| bis0n | Chipzzz, no | 05:51 |
| Guest79686 | ok i will try that thanks | 05:51 |
| clear` | hey guys, anyone know how to completely remove gnome-shell from ubuntu 11.10 | 05:52 |
| doomrobo | Hi, how does the clipboard work in Linux in general. I'm mostly asking for how it works with unicode keys because apparently it's impossible to create an XKeyEvent using unicode characters. | 05:53 |
| Chipzzz | bis0n: off the top of my head, it looks like the -I is the problem | 05:54 |
| Dougy | lmao brock lesnar | 05:55 |
| bis0n | -I is for include directories and I want only dir "tst" so ok, that is the problem, but what can I use? | 05:55 |
| Chipzzz | bis0n: if you know the directory structure, you can give -I a comma separated list, otherwise you have to spyder the domain afaik | 05:57 |
| forcemp | ,bis0n : what if you "find | grep -i tst" first then use the output | 05:58 |
| bis0n | forceflow, that's sound good... but I don't understand how... :/ | 05:59 |
| Chr|s | DrPenguin, odd, 32bit version of the game works but not 64bit. I have a 64bit machine. | 06:00 |
| DrPenguin | Chr|s: that probably explains your issue | 06:00 |
| DrPenguin | its looking somewhere else for the library | 06:00 |
| DrPenguin | I think.. ldd? that should tell you what its looking for and where | 06:00 |
| forcemp | bis0n do you want to share the command that you have so far so we have a better idea of what you are trying to accomplish? | 06:02 |

| subcool | ok, how do i kill the autolock on avast | 06:03 |
| Barzogh | bis0n: try by adaapting this example to your need : wget -rnd -l5 --no-parent ftp://server.com/dir/ | 06:04 |
| subcool | something happen during its update.... and its kinda shot | 06:04 |
| pangolin | no idea, maybe there is a channel for avast | 06:04 |
| bis0n | forcemp, using 'find . -type d -name "tst"' seems to be an good idea but how I can execute that on domain.com/ | 06:04 |
| pangolin | try /msg alist list *avast* | 06:04 |
| pangolin | try /msg alis list *avast* | 06:04 |

| forcemp | bis0n i thought you were trying to accomplish something else. find wont work. | 06:06 |
| melvincv | pangolin: How about Xubuntu compared to Lubuntu? | 06:06 |
| subcool | pangolin: didnt work.. | 06:06 |
| pangolin | melvincv: either should be good. | 06:06 |
| subcool | just looking on how to delete the lock file... so that it stops crashing on startup | 06:06 |
| DrPenguin | Lubuntu is much lighter weight, but Xubuntu should come with some more goodies | 06:06 |
| DrPenguin | eiterh way tho.. your dealing with flux/openbox if im right | 06:07 |
| bis0n | I think I need make an script with regex... :/ | 06:07 |
| DrPenguin | of wait.. xfce uses xfwm | 06:07 |
| DrPenguin | I always forget xfwm | 06:07 |
| melvincv | I see. Will I face any issue in usability moving from ubuntu to xubuntu? Different applications? | 06:09 |
| ubluntu | melvincv: nautilus will go to thunar. | 06:10 |
| ubluntu | you can still use nautilus though | 06:10 |
| Barzogh | nope bad idea if he still wants his computer to run smoothly | 06:10 |
| * melvincv will try xubuntu then, thanks to all | 06:11 | |
| robbbie | anyone install moonlight? | 06:11 |
| * samsul is away: papung | 06:12 | |

| Chipzzz | robbbie: confirmed... blockbuster online won't work either | 06:17 |
| Chipzzz | (afaik) | 06:17 |
| lalaland1125 | DrPenguin: I don't think anything funny in going on in the log, but here it is: http://ideone.com/swMqb | 06:17 |
| lalaland1125 | It might be that the fglrx driver is consuming alot of the ram. Xinerimera is not exactly the standard configuration. | 06:18 |
| DrPenguin | ohhhh hohoho this is fglrx | 06:18 |
| DrPenguin | my nemesis | 06:18 |
| DrPenguin | I can figure this out | 06:18 |
| DrPenguin | before I read too much into it.. its possible that fglrx is getting a TON of ram for the framebuffer | 06:19 |
| karl-augustt | DrPenguin ; do not use Enter as Punctuation! | 06:19 |
| DrPenguin | in some bios, you can assign that, upper values of 2gig, possibly more | 06:19 |
| lalaland1125 | That might be. I was abusing firefox before this happened. | 06:19 |
| DrPenguin | karl-augustt: dont tell me what to do! anyway.. | 06:19 |
| lalaland1125 | Using an autopager so I got somewhere like 400 pages before it stared swapping. | 06:20 |
| Chipzzz | lalaland1125: according to htop, chrome is taking all the memory | 06:20 |
| pnorman | I just finished moving my ubuntu install to a new case and motherboard and it's not connecting to the network. ifconfig only shows the local loopback interface. ifconfig -a shows the local loopback as well as eth2 and rename3 | 06:20 |
| karl-augustt | DrPenguin : so you can quit channel, you do not need support discussion, you're ready to life alone!! | 06:21 |
| lalaland1125 | Chipzzz: Nah it's only using ~10-15% Xorg is eating it all. | 06:21 |
| lalaland1125 | DrPenguin: I think you might be right, that's it caching it for some reason. | 06:22 |
| === sjd_ is now known as ypsjd | ||
| lalaland1125 | So I only need to dig into the settings for how to flush the cache or something. | 06:22 |
| karl-augustt | DrPenguin : so you can quit channel, you do not need support discussion, you're ready to life alone!! | 06:22 |
| DrPenguin | lalaland1125: can you see if theres an option in amdcccle, and if not, MAYBE (but doubtful) your bios, where it dictates the framebuffer size? also,you might need to look at other settings, if your using Xinerama, things like EnableTearFree desktop do consume a decent amount of Ram | 06:22 |
| Chipzzz | lalaland1125: sorry, you're right... chrome is taking a lot of virtual memory | 06:23 |

| lalaland1125 | Yay, the buffer seems to have cleared itself out, nows it's down to a puny 861 megabytes. | 06:27 |
| lalaland1125 | Note to self: never load more than 400 pages in firefox. | 06:27 |
| szal | lol | 06:28 |
| DrPenguin | lalaland1125: wait, X is back down to a cute level or is this something completely different ? | 06:29 |
| lalaland1125 | It's back down to a cute level. | 06:29 |
| lalaland1125 | I assume firefox tried doing something stupid like loading a million textures into the graphics card memory or something. | 06:29 |
| DrPenguin | lalaland1125: good! im glad :). As a recommendation, try a browser like Chromium. Its much more friendly when it comes to CPU and Ram.. its weird that X was the owner of those memory allocations.. thats something to think about | 06:30 |
| dahlia | is there a way I can log in to my new kubuntu install without running X? I dont see an option for it on the login screen | 06:30 |
| DrPenguin | dahlia: well.. if you boot in single user mode that would do the trick.. what are you trying to accomplish? | 06:31 |
| dahlia | I want to install new nvidia driver but it wont let me if X is running | 06:31 |
| DrPenguin | dahlia: oh! thats simple.. just VT swtich (like ctrl alt F2), log in, sudo services gdm stop, install it, then sudo services gdm start | 06:31 |
| dahlia | I tried single user mode but it said read-only file syste, | 06:31 |
| dahlia | ty trying that... | 06:31 |
| DrPenguin | probably because the kernel was passed ro | 06:31 |
| dahlia | services: command not found | 06:33 |
| DrPenguin | um.. maybe its service then? try that.. I always get this one mixed up | 06:33 |
| dahlia | kk | 06:33 |
| Chipzzz | "service" is right | 06:33 |
| dahlia | gdm: unrecogniized service | 06:34 |
| dahlia | closer :) | 06:34 |
| dahlia | its kubuntu | 06:34 |
| pangolin | kdm | 06:34 |
| DrPenguin | OH!then its kdm | 06:34 |
| dahlia | ty that did something | 06:34 |
| DrPenguin | now X is dead, feel free to install the driver | 06:35 |
| chromaticwt | how do I disable gdm? | 06:35 |
| chromaticwt | in 11.10 | 06:35 |
| === stephen is now known as Guest62177 | ||
| pangolin | chromaticwt: sudo service gdm stop | 06:37 |
| pangolin | err 11.10 uses lightdm so I think it is ldm now | 06:37 |
| chromaticwt | oh really? so I guess that's why I couldn't disable gdm. | 06:37 |
| pangolin | would make sense yeah | 06:37 |
| Tyther | ok | 06:39 |
| tensorpudding | if you upgrade i don't believe it changes it | 06:39 |
| karl-augustt | do someone have a guide on how to use Archlinux to build a minimal OS? | 06:39 |
| tensorpudding | or it might give you a choose | 06:39 |
| tensorpudding | choice* | 06:39 |
| pangolin | karl-augustt: #arch | 06:39 |
| tensorpudding | karl-augustt, you mean debootstrapping ubuntu in arch? | 06:39 |
| tensorpudding | that'd not really be on-topic | 06:40 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 06:44 |
| tensorpudding | guest_, that's not really a support question, this channel isn't for polls | 06:44 |
| edbian | atvr, does the USB stick boot on any other computer? (do you have any other computer to test it on?) | 06:44 |
| atvr | pnorman: but if a choose to only try it it can ear the ubuntu theme song in my speaker | 06:44 |
| szal | how do I select a USB drive to make a startup disk from in usb-creator? | 06:44 |
| atvr | edbian: yes i have tested on my desktop and it work | 06:44 |
| atvr | also i have tryied the alternative installation wich does not work ether | 06:45 |
| edbian | atvr, try booting with the nomodeset option: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 | 06:45 |
| karl-augustt | atvr, you have perhaps too problem, if you monitor have no problem , be convainced that you have an uninstable OS on your disk | 06:45 |
| szal | ah, needed a kick in the shizzles by un- and replugging the USB pen | 06:46 |
| atvr | karl-augustt: what do you mean i dont nunderstand | 06:46 |
| DrPenguin | karl-augustt: its not that.. ive seen this before.. X has issues automagically booting on newer machines | 06:46 |
| karl-augustt | ubuntu 11.10 presents again some bugs, so be patient! | 06:46 |
| atvr | DrPenguin: hi , if you remenber about 2days ago i have talked to you about that | 06:46 |
| DrPenguin | atvr: I thought I recognized your issue.. good.. im not any more crazy that I think I am | 06:47 |
| gulzar | any duplicate file finder utility.. other than fslint? | 06:47 |
| atvr | DrPenguin: XD | 06:47 |
| lalaland1125 | Hmm it seems Xorg's dance with swap has messed up my sound, now all my songs sound like my mother singing them. | 06:48 |
| lalaland1125 | Time to reboot. | 06:48 |
| Stanley00 | gulzar: fdupes is also good, but it's command line only | 06:48 |
| leeprison | hi,everyone . I have two os win7 and ubuntu10.04 ,but i want to update my ubuntu and i'm afraid to destroy the grub ..how to update safety? | 06:48 |
| pr0ton_ | how to switch tabs in terminal? | 06:48 |
| Stanley00 | leeprison: how did you install your ubuntu? if you didnt use wubi, then upgrade is just fine, | 06:49 |
| gulzar | Stanley00: no prob.. I will try it | 06:49 |
| DrPenguin | leeprison: no need to be worried, Ive done updates before on a dualbooted machine and I havent had an issue (until I updated from Natty to Oneric, but it wasnt grub related) | 06:49 |
| wookienz | pnorman: maybe not then...is there a stock vnc se ubuntu? | 06:49 |
| Stanley00 | leeprison: and better way is fresh install | 06:49 |
| wookienz | se/server | 06:50 |
| Chipzzz | leeprison: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is a good option | 06:50 |
| saurabh_D | ls | 06:50 |
| leeprison | I did't use wubi | 06:50 |
| karl-augustt | DrPenguin: I 've just have a similar problem, I started ubuntu on my usb disk, after a few seconds, I did not have any luminosity | 06:51 |
| pnorman | on a server typically you wouldn't have a GUI. | 06:51 |
| hounchouts | Hi everyone. I've recently got a small VPS. It had CentOS 64 installed but after trying it I wasn't pleased and asked to install Ubuntu (as I originally asked they made a mistake with the CentOS). They installed Ubuntu 10.04.3 but now I can't run simple commands like apt-get and gedit, and constantly get Wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 errors. this is how it looks like when I log in: http://paste | 06:52 |
| hounchouts | bin.com/grE9yXN0 | 06:52 |
| karl-augustt | DrPenguin : I remained that in this conditions , my installation still worked! | 06:52 |
| gulzar | Stanley00: Thank You | 06:53 |
| wookienz | pnorman: it is to remote back to my main machine when overseas. | 06:53 |
| Stanley00 | gulzar: you are welcome ;) | 06:53 |
| subcool | help with fixing avast- | 06:56 |
| szal | subcool: whole sentences- | 06:57 |
| karl-augustt | atvr: have you find a solution to your problem? | 06:57 |
| subcool | avast is erroring during ITS startup. Something about its engine error. Not getting much from google | 06:57 |
| subcool | aside from uninstall reinstall | 06:58 |
| hounchouts | does anyone know why I am getting these ELFCLASS64 errors? | 06:58 |
| chromaticwt | what is the best way to create a custom ubuntu cd? | 06:58 |
| subcool | I also have a killer virus on my friends laptop- which is NOT getting cleared by these virus scanners im using.... | 06:58 |
| chromaticwt | which tutorial should I use? | 06:58 |
| Stanley00 | !remastersys | chromaticwt | 06:58 |
| subcool | The virus has rendered the computer pretty useless. i would like to not have to resintall the OS- it is a windwos OS | 06:58 |
| subcool | XP | 06:59 |
| atvr | karl-augustt: no | 07:00 |
| clear` | subcool: backup the data and install ubuntu | 07:00 |
| forcemp | subcool did you check all the typical places virus' live? | 07:00 |
| DrPenguin | hounchouts: are you trying to compile and or run a program of one architecture on an incompatible one? like what are you doing | 07:00 |
| subcool | clear`: not my computer | 07:01 |
| clear` | then its not your problem... | 07:01 |
| subcool | forcemp: um- no?? i use scanners these days. | 07:01 |
| subcool | clear`: lol- it is if i plan to get laid. | 07:01 |
| DrPenguin | scanners suck | 07:01 |
| * subcool feels played | 07:01 | |
| clear` | well tell her/him that the best solution is to backup and start fresh | 07:02 |
| forcemp | subcool i fyou dont like the manual method you can try microsoft system sweeper? | 07:03 |
| clear` | well, what virus is it? | 07:03 |
| subcool | forcemp: her computer is useless it is has locked out EVERYTHING that i can use to fix it. Which doesnt seem to matter, because even the scanners arent clearing it all up | 07:03 |
| clear` | boot in safe mode and do a scan | 07:03 |
| subcool | clear`: no clue- nothing is picking it up. | 07:03 |
| tensorpudding | !ot | subcool | 07:04 |
| ubottu | subcool: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:04 |
| subcool | clear`: way past that | 07:04 |
| lifestream | Is there another way to make a Windows XP USB (iso to usb) besides with unetbootin ? Because unetbootin does not work with XP (it only shows "Default" on the menu, and it doesn't boot XP) | 07:04 |
| subcool | cute tensorpudding | 07:04 |
| karl-augustt | do someone have a guide on how to use Archlinux to build a minimal OS? | 07:04 |
| DrPenguin | subcool: hes right,, this is off topic | 07:04 |
| DrPenguin | !ot | karl-augustt | 07:04 |
| ubottu | karl-augustt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:04 |
| subcool | im looking for ubuntu help :p | 07:04 |
| DrPenguin | but.. this isnt an ubuntu problem | 07:04 |
| forcemp | subcool have you heard of system sweeper? its an offline av scanner that mounts the windows registry hives and searches the os for root kits more efficiently. | 07:05 |
| subcool | safemode has been destroyed- thus using ubuntu | 07:05 |
| subcool | the virus even destroyed the use of network options | 07:05 |
| tensorpudding | you can't fix windows from ubuntu | 07:05 |
| DrPenguin | tensorpudding: id disagree there, its possible | 07:06 |
| tensorpudding | even if you could, it is a windows question | 07:06 |
| clear` | subcool: time to backup and format | 07:06 |
| DrPenguin | but regardless, this ISNT an ubuntu issue | 07:06 |
| subcool | its very possible, | 07:06 |
| subcool | bah- | 07:06 |
| subcool | k, - imma try to fix these last two scanners and take it from there | 07:06 |
| subcool | i just cant believe nothing is picking this thing up. | 07:06 |
| ubluntu | subcool maybe its a rootkit | 07:07 |
| subcool | pm me- too much chatter | 07:08 |
| hounchouts | drpenguin: no i just started the server. I tried to open gedit or try apt-get but get the same corrupted library errors. I've put it on pastebin if you want to have a look : http://pastebin.com/grE9yXN0 | 07:09 |
| DrPenguin | hounchouts: oh man that looks ugly.. whats the output of uname -p? | 07:10 |
| atvr | how can i put nomodeset when installing ubuntu 11.10 | 07:11 |
| DrPenguin | atvr: thats a kernel boot parameter | 07:11 |
| atvr | DrPenguin: ?? can you explan what you said lol like i said i am new to linux | 07:12 |
| Chipzzz | atvr: press space while it is booting into grub and edit the record | 07:12 |
| hounchouts | drpenguin: uname -p = unknown | 07:12 |
| clear` | hey guys, anyone know how to completely remove gnome-shell from ubuntu 11.10 | 07:12 |
| DrPenguin | hounchouts: Whoa! seriously? ok… what about just straight uname -a? Im thinking your system for some reaosn has NO idea what architechture it is | 07:12 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: you can add that via /etc/default/grub | 07:12 |
| DrPenguin | atvr: the Linux Kernel takes parameters when it boots to exec with different options, like single, ro, quiet, splash, etc. nomodeset is one of thos options | 07:13 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: add that that the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=..." , I think, then run update-grub | 07:13 |
| atvr | DrPenguin: okay but how can i set that, im not able to get into the installation | 07:13 |
| Chipzzz | atvr: are you still trying to boot from the live cd? | 07:14 |
| hounchouts | drpenguin: uname -a = Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-33-server #70-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 7 22:28:30 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 07:14 |
| atvr | Stanley00: i am not even able to install ubuntu so i cant do that | 07:14 |
| DrPenguin | atvr: you can manipulate the kernel boot parameters when you go to boot for a one time deal | 07:14 |
| atvr | Chipzzz: no im from a udb stick | 07:14 |
| hounchouts | centOS 64 was installed first erronously, as I asked for Ubuntu 32, so they installed Ubuntu | 07:14 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: ah, I see, you want to set that option for the liveCD right? | 07:15 |
| DrPenguin | hounchouts: ok.. I wonder why -p gave you an unknown when it sees that its an x64 arch.. I think you might just need to reinstall your server.. maybe you should md5 the iso to make sure its ok | 07:15 |
| DrPenguin | hounchouts: thats ubuntu 64 | 07:15 |
| hounchouts | I asked them to install Ubuntu 32 and they confirmed that. Strange | 07:15 |
| atvr | DrPenguin: when i boot, i see that i can put some command or somthing, it says Boot: in the lower part of the screen so is it there that i have to put something | 07:15 |
| DrPenguin | hounchouts: according to uname its 64..unless they botched something TERRIBLY wrong | 07:16 |
| atvr | Stanley00: no i am from a usb boot stick | 07:16 |
| hounchouts | DrPenguin: thanks, I think I better contact them again, hope they get it right the third time | 07:17 |
| Orthebox | Hi | 07:17 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: It's the same as liveCD IMO :), when you at the boot screen, high light the try ubuntu..., press F6 I think, the will popup some option, one of them is nomodeset | 07:17 |
| atvr | Stanley00: i am trying that right away :) sorry i am new to linux | 07:17 |
| Orthebox | Hello everyone I'm currently using MacBook Pro 7,1 and I intend to install Ubuntu as part of my triple-boot plan (OSX, WIN, UBUNTU). I just need to know - which edition should I use for my installation? | 07:18 |
| lifestream | I have Linux only. Does anyone know if I can run flashboot/WinToFlash inside a virtualbox Windows to put XP ISO on USB? I have no cd drive so I'm screwed. Unetbootin does not work. | 07:18 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: everyone is new at the first time ;) | 07:18 |
| Chipzzz | lol | 07:18 |
| szal | installing from USB is a very nice way of installing | 07:19 |
| atvr | Stanley00: when i press F6 i doesnt do anything | 07:19 |
| atvr | Stanley00: could it be the TAB button | 07:19 |
| Orthebox | @szal: I'm using dd. | 07:19 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: hmm, did you high light the "try ubuntu..." line at boot screen? | 07:20 |
| atvr | Stanley00: cuz i have pressed tab and now there is a command line in bottom of the screen | 07:20 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: ah, just exit that command line, press F6 at the boot menu. | 07:20 |
| Chipzzz | atvr: didn't it used to give you a graphic screen with icons to click on for "try" or "install"? | 07:21 |
| atvr | Stanley00: yes it more like "Run Ubuntu From This USB" | 07:21 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: ooops, did you use unetbootin to create that usb? | 07:21 |
| atvr | Chipzzz: no its like a dos menu, i can only us the keyboard to select | 07:21 |
| atvr | Stanley00: yes i did | 07:21 |
| szal | bleh.. "Selecting and installing software failed" | 07:22 |
| Orthebox | ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso or ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso? | 07:22 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: I didnt use that tool for a long time... cant remember how to do with it... do you know how to edit a boot option? It's normally said at the bottom of screen | 07:22 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: like "press xxx to edit..."? | 07:23 |
| Orthebox | Which edition is advised for MacBook Pro 7,1? | 07:23 |
| Stanley00 | !ot | Orthebox | 07:23 |
| ubottu | Orthebox: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 07:23 |
| Stanley00 | Orthebox: oop, sorry, miss your first post :( | 07:24 |
| Orthebox | Stanley00: It's fine :P | 07:24 |
| Orthebox | Stanley00: The Ubuntu wiki suggested Oneiric ... I dunno why | 07:24 |
| atvr | Stanley00: no i dont but, when ive pressed tab there is somthing written at the bottom that i can edit, its like" /casper/vm/linuz noprompt cdrom-detect....... | 07:24 |
| Stanley00 | Orthebox: all of them is fine. just depend on your system's memory | 07:25 |
| Orthebox | Stanley00: K thanks a lot :) | 07:25 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: hmm, maybe it's tab key, you can go to the end of the line said "linux ..." or "kernel ..." then add nomodeset | 07:26 |
| miadbahrami | salam bache ha ki c++ khoob mitoone kar kone baram ye proje benevise | 07:27 |
| atvr | Stanley00: yes i just tryed that, then it when to a screen purple that says Ubuntu 11.10 and there was like loading progress bar with dots, then i t went into a black screen that i am able to input some command, the line is ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 07:28 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: hmm, can you try running "startx" | 07:29 |
| atvr | Stanley00: so i have put back the nomodeset there, then its says command not found then there was somthing says like loading firmware.... and there some command displaying one after one | 07:29 |
| Chipzzz | atvr: sounds like you have a server edition... if you install it, you can "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and have a full desktop running in no time | 07:30 |
| atvr | Stanley00: do you want me to reboot and try to put your startx comand | 07:30 |
| wadkar | okay, I fudged up my partition table | 07:30 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: ah, you run startx at the command screen, which said "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$" | 07:30 |
| wadkar | now I am constrained by the primary partition limit of 4 | 07:31 |
| atvr | Stanley00: no do you want me to try it ? | 07:31 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: yes, you should run startx command | 07:31 |
| wadkar | and I think I will need to remove/resize my extended partition /dev/sda4 which hosts the logical partition /dev/sda5 : my root partition | 07:31 |
| wadkar | which is the best way to go about this ? | 07:32 |
| guest_ | , | 07:32 |
| wadkar | can gParted resize my root partition ? | 07:33 |
| Chipzzz | wadkar: do you have a desktop or are you working from the command line? | 07:33 |
| atvr | Stanley00: i just retried to put the nomodeset, and now it work i can vue the desktop to try it, so now i am trying to instal it with nomodeset | 07:33 |
| StepNjump | how can I unpack a .gz file please using tar? | 07:33 |
| wadkar | Chipzzz: I have Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 desktop installed on my laptop | 07:33 |
| Chipzzz | wadker: yes gparted is the tool to use | 07:33 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: good luck then ;) | 07:34 |
| Stanley00 | StepNjump: tar -xvf file.tar.gz? | 07:34 |
| StepNjump | ok let me try that Stanley00 tnx | 07:34 |
| wadkar | I have /dev/sda1 500mb /boot , /dev/sda2 4gb swap, /dev/sda3 100gb ntfs /windows and I hoped to created rest ~400gb space as /dev/sda4 extended, then create logical partitions there | 07:34 |
| Stanley00 | StepNjump: np ;) | 07:35 |
| wadkar | s/hoped/thought/ | 07:35 |
| StepNjump | Stanley00 it says: tar: This does not look like a tar archive. keep in mind it's not a tar.gz but just a .gz | 07:35 |
| wadkar | unfortunately the /dev/sda4 is a megre 50GB , which I thought I allocated to /dev/sda5 my ext4 /root partition | 07:35 |
| Stanley00 | StepNjump: then try this tar -zxvf file.tar.gz? | 07:36 |
| Humbedooh | gzip -d filename ? | 07:36 |
| StepNjump | no it's file.gz stanley00 | 07:36 |
| Stanley00 | StepNjump: if that is just gz, not tar, then try gunzip :D | 07:36 |
| wadkar | now I want to resize my /dev/sda4 so that it can occupy rest, but that means erasing /dev/sda5 , which hosts my OS ! | 07:36 |
| wadkar | need some fdisk-foo badly :( | 07:37 |
| StepNjump | ok and what are the switches of the gunzip Stanley00 | 07:37 |
| Humbedooh | ... | 07:37 |
| Stanley00 | StepNjump: just gunzip file.gz :D | 07:37 |
| StepNjump | ok let me try | 07:37 |
| Chipzzz | wadkar: actually, you're in better shape than you think... | 07:37 |
| wadkar | Chipzzz: really? how so ? | 07:38 |
| Chipzzz | wadkar: if i'm reading this right, you have 50Gb for /dev/s4 and 350Gb unpartitioned, right? | 07:39 |
| wadkar | yes, sda4 is the extended one, which has logical sda5 hosting my Ubuntu | 07:39 |
| wadkar | Chipzzz: ^ | 07:40 |
| Humbedooh | to think if Apache had developed the gz format... | 07:40 |
| Humbedooh | it'd be called apache gunzip :D | 07:40 |
| Stanley00 | wadkar: I dont know, if it's like that you could just simple resize sda4 to that unallocate? | 07:40 |
| gulzar | Please help. Pidgin is showing "not authorised" with gmail. Any solution? | 07:41 |
| wadkar | Stanley00: hmm, I can resize sda4, without mutilating sda5 ? never resized anything till date, so not sure how it works | 07:41 |
| wadkar | I am only worried because of sda5 hosting my OS, otherwise I wouldnt mind experimenting/trying out whatever I feel right | 07:42 |
| Church | wadkar: whatever you do i'd say making backups prior that never hurts | 07:42 |
| Stanley00 | wadkar: I think it would be fine, if you not sure, backup averything before you do that :D | 07:42 |
| Chipzzz | wadkar: so if you partition the 350Gb as ext4, you can reinstall the system with a 50Gb "/" volume and a 350Gb "/home" partition, which is a reasonable useage | 07:42 |
| Stanley00 | wadkar: backup is alway good practice before you do anything :D | 07:43 |
| Chipzzz | (although the "/" is a bit large) | 07:43 |
| wadkar | Church: sure, I know that very well, and I have my own backups, but system config is a big task, and I dont want to repeat myself | 07:43 |
| Church | pitty default ubuntu installer doesn't do lvm. lvm provides great flexibility for allocating disk space. | 07:43 |
| * wadkar brb | 07:44 | |
| Da|Mummy | im stuck with read only filesystem, how do i get out of it? | 07:44 |
| Church | Da|Mummy: remount rw? | 07:44 |
| Church | mount /dev/whateverdevice /mountpoint -o rw,remount | 07:44 |
| szal | Extras doesn't exist for Lucid? | 07:46 |
| wadkar | Chipzzz: I do not want to reinstall , that will take too much of my _energy_ (lot of custom installation of dev-tools) | 07:48 |
| JoshuaP | I AMSG'D | 07:49 |
| wadkar | anyways, enough talking, let me ask gParted and see how it goes | 07:49 |
| * wadkar fingers crossed *_* | 07:49 | |
| Church | wadkar: then backup enough of things to enable restore of whatever that's important to you | 07:49 |
| Church | be it data in user home dir, or installed/configured OS | 07:50 |
| Church | for later, backup files/dirs of OS. bootloader probably can be reinstalled from eg. bootable install media | 07:50 |
| wadkar | Church: I will still have to recompile from source, and I forgot the custom flags and all, not worried about booloader, i know enough grub-foo to boot my sda5 off sdb1's grub :D | 07:51 |
| Church | if you restore those files, shouldn't you be left with state you are now with all that custom compiled stuff? | 07:52 |
| Church | as for future, i suggest to document. many admins forget that (important) step. | 07:52 |
| Church | might be as simple as copypasting entered commands to download/compile stuff into some .txt file. :) | 07:53 |
| wadkar | Church: yeah, agreed , completely. But I am not sure if I linked against custom libs, but yeah. I get your point | 07:53 |
| wadkar | *sigh* , gParted wont resize my sda4 will I umount sda5, which I (obviously) can't | 07:54 |
| jpk | Say I have a ubuntu server with all the packages I want installed, and I want all the same ones installed on a second machine. Is there a handy way to get a list of packages from the first machine so I can install them all on the second? | 07:54 |
| wadkar | s/will/till | 07:54 |
| Church | wadkar: try boot from other media? | 07:54 |
| wadkar | how about liveCD ? | 07:54 |
| wadkar | Church: bingo ! | 07:54 |
| * wadkar slaps his forhead for forgetting that he can has only one extended partition? | 07:56 | |
| Da|Mummy | Church, where do i specify the filesystem in that? | 07:56 |
| Chipzzz | wadkar: you could try copying sd5 into sd4, booting into sd4 and resizing sd5 to take up the rest of the disk | 07:57 |
| dbazuin_ | I am a mac user who want to give ubuntu a go and i have a machine with xp and citrix on it. What is the easist way to clean that thing and install ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| langlang_ | xchat lost words. | 07:57 |
| Church | Da|Mummy: you can of course add -t fstype, but in most cases kernel should autodetect, or read entry from /etc/fstab, no? | 07:57 |
| wadkar | Chipzzz: perhaps you didnt get my " fdisk -l /dev/sda " , the sda4 is the hosting extended partition, the logical sda5 is part of extended sda4, i can not have the latter without the former | 07:58 |
| Church | dbazuin: depends on what you need. eg. some dualboot setup, or linux only box. but in any case i'd backup first. | 07:58 |
| almoxarife | dbazuin_: you want to add to or remove what is on the machine and go ubuntu? | 07:59 |
| dbazuin_ | Linux only | 07:59 |
| Orthebox | Hi I'm using a MacBook Pro 7,1 and I want to install Ubuntu, should I take the amd64 or i386 one? | 07:59 |
| Chipzzz | wadkar: you're right, i didn't...sorry | 07:59 |
| dbazuin_ | Yes almoxarife | 07:59 |
| Da|Mummy | no go here...mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 07:59 |
| dbazuin_ | It is a spare | 07:59 |
| almoxarife | dbazuin_: during the install you are asked something like 'use it all'??, do and the machine will be 100% ubuntu | 08:00 |
| dbazuin_ | Ok so i download it and copy it to the pc | 08:00 |
| almoxarife | dbazuin_: no, | 08:00 |
| wadkar | dbazuin_: yes, look for 'use entire disk' or 'automatic partitioning' | 08:00 |
| Orthebox | Hi I'm using a MacBook Pro 7,1 and I want to install Ubuntu, should I take amd64 or i386? | 08:00 |
| wadkar | dbazuin_: you will need to burn a CD or figure out Mac way to create USB image | 08:01 |
| almoxarife | dbazuin_: you d/l the iso, burn to either disk or usb and then install | 08:01 |
| Church | dbazuin: i'd create install on usb disk for simplicity. and before overwriting everything double check if there isn't something you need that should be backed up | 08:01 |
| DrPenguin | Orthebox: if your mac has a 64bit proc use 64bit, otherwise use 32 | 08:01 |
| langlang_ | how to reslove that problem which is xchat lost words. | 08:01 |
| dbazuin_ | How big need the usb | 08:01 |
| almoxarife | dbazuin_: 1gig | 08:01 |
| dbazuin_ | Realy? | 08:02 |
| dbazuin_ | Thats easy then | 08:02 |
| Church | oh. hmm, he has mac? ubuntu will have no problems with booting on that? (i have no experience with whatever custom apple might have put in their macs, even though x86 ones) | 08:02 |
| almoxarife | dbazuin_: the iso is about 698+- | 08:02 |
| dbazuin_ | Cool | 08:02 |
| dbazuin_ | I want also tomrun lamp | 08:02 |
| dbazuin_ | On it | 08:02 |
| wadkar | dbazuin_: is the machine Mac or a generic PC with XP+citrix installed ? | 08:03 |
| dbazuin_ | Just a dell | 08:03 |
| almoxarife | dbazuin_: btw, use the 'alternate' and be hardwired to the internet for the best outcome | 08:03 |
| Church | hmm, for server? i'd prefer centos to ubuntu probably. | 08:04 |
| dbazuin_ | Ok that is a slide probelem | 08:04 |
| wadkar | dbazuin_: then you dont have to worry about anything, just go with standard tools, you can find tutorials/guides for LAMP'ing your OS | 08:04 |
| wadkar | Church: it may not be a production server, so don't have to push the RHEL stack right away | 08:04 |
| almoxarife | dbazuin_: don't sweat it, go with what you got | 08:04 |
| dbazuin_ | Thanks guys | 08:04 |
| wadkar | yw | 08:05 |
| wadkar | ohhk guys, thanks from me too, I will have to figure out a way out on my own on a LiveCD it seems | 08:06 |
| wadkar | wish me luck -_- | 08:06 |
| dbazuin_ | Somwhow i can only connect to the net with a citrix pc | 08:06 |
| Church | wadkar: it's just that centos is close enough to rhel. so as we use mostly rhel or oraclelinux for servers, centos often fills role for close enough thing for cheap development/test installs. Lesser the zoo of miscellaneous OSes/releases, less headache with supporting that. | 08:06 |
| dbazuin_ | But we get a seperate line | 08:07 |
| Church | i don't wish to introduce more OSes to our supported zoo :) | 08:07 |
| dbazuin_ | So better wait for that? | 08:07 |
| wadkar | Church: agreed , but the OP may not even be considering a production server, he might want to try out LAMP and see whats what | 08:07 |
| wadkar | Church: I myself installed CentOS 5.7 few weeks ago (with only IUS for PHP-MySQL), works great ! | 08:08 |
| wadkar | dbazuin_: why do you need LAMP stack ? to run a production quality server ? | 08:08 |
| dbazuin_ | No development | 08:09 |
| dbazuin_ | Drupal | 08:09 |
| wadkar | dbazuin_: will you be managing deployment/production server ? | 08:09 |
| dbazuin_ | I want to se if ubuntu is a good alternative | 08:09 |
| dbazuin_ | No | 08:09 |
| dbazuin_ | The site go to a host when the done | 08:10 |
| dbazuin_ | I hate windows | 08:10 |
| dbazuin_ | Love mac | 08:10 |
| wadkar | then Ubuntu might be best suited for you (assuming no prior linux experience) , the SysAd of your host will take the burden/headache of configuring your code-base for live production server | 08:10 |
| wadkar | you go with what feels right for you as a dev | 08:10 |
| wadkar | let the Ops/SysAd worry about deployment issue | 08:11 |
| * Church hates 6th release of redhat/centos and alikes though. Less fit for running in xen, and that freaking new upstart init. I had big pile of headache with trying to replicate what i need and had in normal inittab to work in upstart. And from what i heard, in next releases upstart gonna be replaced once again to something else :/ | 08:11 | |
| dbazuin_ | Or bussiness is pc only | 08:11 |
| dbazuin_ | So when I can not get mac in it i can get ubuntu | 08:12 |
| dbazuin_ | Plus i heard a lot about it lately | 08:13 |
| dbazuin_ | My compliment to you all you a relaxed bunch here love that | 08:14 |

| eFfeM | hi, anyone an idea on how to install ruby-sinatra on ubuntu 11.10? It fails because it cannot meet a dependency on ruby-rack (known issue, ubuntu Bug #843734 ) ; seems the package in 11.10 is called libruby-rack | 08:20 |

| atvr | Stanley00: i have pressed e to edit the command line | 08:20 |
| atvr | Stanley00: and i think a have to replace something but i dont now what | 08:21 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: then, there a line says linux ... , just add monoset at the end of that line | 08:21 |
| Stanley00 | s/monoset/nomodeset/ | 08:21 |
| atvr | so it will look like that `linux... quiet spash vt. | 08:22 |
| atvr | so it will look like that `linux... quiet spash vt . handoff=7 s/monoset/nomodeset/ | 08:23 |
| Chipzzz | eFfeM: is the lib in the repo? | 08:23 |
| atvr | Stanley00: is this correct | 08:23 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: just "linux... quiet spash vt . handoff=7 nomodeset" :D | 08:24 |

| badboy_jonathan | /dev/audio | 08:29 |
| almoxarife | Syria: what did you use to change it ? | 08:30 |
| atvr | Stanley00: do you have an idea about what can i do, the edit didnt work | 08:30 |
| Syria | almoxarife: I have changed the hardware from sound preferences and did something with alsamixer! | 08:30 |
| Stanley00 | !nomodeset | atvr , I dont know, you could try this | 08:31 |
| ubottu | atvr , I dont know, you could try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 08:31 |
| almoxarife | Syria: something? remember what you did? perhaps mute? look for 'MM' in alsmixer | 08:31 |
| Chipzzz | eFfeM: aptitude is better at resolving problems like that than apt-get... you might try that | 08:32 |
| eFfeM | Chipzzz: will try that, thanks | 08:32 |
| Syria | almoxarife: master volume and speaker are at 97% but some other values can not be changed, like S/PDIF | 08:33 |
| almoxarife | Syria: ok, close alsamixer and go to 'sound' preferences | 08:33 |
| Syria | almoxarife: Done. | 08:34 |
| almoxarife | Syria: look at 'hardware', what's picked? | 08:34 |
| Syria | almoxarife: Analog stereo dublex. | 08:34 |
| Syria | Duplex* | 08:34 |
| almoxarife | Syria: you looking at hardware tab? | 08:35 |
| Syria | almoxarife: Yes. | 08:35 |
| atvr | Stanley00: i cant find anything with that link, but if i try ereasing all what is after quiet splash ans then put nomodeset, do you think it will work | 08:35 |
| almoxarife | Syria: the first text line is "Analog stereo duplex' ??? | 08:36 |
| Syria | almoxarife: Nope, it is the last one. | 08:37 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: I last think I can think of now if clear "qiuet splash", add "nomodeset" to see what happen, then search for that info in the internet | 08:37 |
| almoxarife | Syria: how about the first? | 08:37 |
| Syria | almoxarife: The first one is analog stereo input. | 08:37 |

| Stanley00 | atvr: hmm, looks like some thing it says on the live USB. how did you install this, and what iso image did you use | 08:53 |
| almoxarife | Syria: I have hdmi and analog, I see both on my setup, I only see one piece of 'hardware' , 'internal audio analog' on yours, and where I would expect to see the same 'internal..................' in 'output' I see 'dummy....' , that does not just happen by virgin birth, something was done to cause that, | 08:53 |
| atvr | Stanley00: ive installed by a usb boot stick and ive use the alternative .iso from ubuntu | 08:54 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: did you install a full desktop or just the command system only? | 08:55 |
| almoxarife | Syria: try to logout/in and look for a default setup, you can hope | 08:55 |
| atvr | Stanley00: full desktop | 08:55 |
| Syria | almoxarife: I will, Thank you for your time. :) | 08:56 |
| atvr | Stanley00: would it be easyier if i would download the not alternative iso, and burn it on a cd and to instal it put the nomodeset command | 08:58 |
| Stanley00 | atvr: I dont get it, if you use an alternate cd to install, it will not need the nomodeset parameter, since it wont boot in GUI. | 08:59 |

| almoxarife | Stanley00: that's all I ever use, and it will take you to a gui after install | 09:01 |
| almoxarife | Stanley00: the 'alternate' is for quirky setups, and if you read up something written after 9.10 you will find that it is recommended for just that! | 09:02 |
| almoxarife | anyone else getting the ssl handshake error? got a fix? | 09:05 |

| JackDacks | Hello everyone. Sorry to bother you but I'm wondering if you know any Backtrack IRC channel/server ? | 09:12 |
| almoxarife | Stanley00: that's my point, 'alternate' IS a full desktop install, the bonus is that it was made for QUIRKY hardware, so as to facilitate in getting the install done 100% , it does ask that you be connected to the internet via hardwire | 09:12 |
| Stanley00 | !alis | JackDacks I dont know, but try this | 09:13 |
| ubottu | JackDacks I dont know, but try this: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 09:13 |
| JackDacks | thank you | 09:13 |
| atvr | almoxarife: so it would be better for my to install with the non-alternative version | 09:13 |

| pp7 | Ben64: always failed for me, something always breaks | 09:31 |
| quiescens | of course you made backups before trying to upgrade to an in development release | 09:31 |
| kerryb | pp7: probably because i'm still using windows classic which is more similar to windows 98 LOL | 09:31 |
| almoxarife | atvr: use the alternate 64 install | 09:31 |
| Ben64 | pp7: on this computer, i went Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy -> Hardy with no problems | 09:32 |
| quiescens | which isn't due out for 4 or so months | 09:32 |
| atvr | almoxarife: but after i have installed the 11.10 with nomodeset i was not able to boot again even if i had edit the grub comand | 09:32 |
| almoxarife | atvr: use the alternate 64 install and you promised to be hardwired to the internet | 09:32 |
| Hordeking | almoxarife: I don't need a special config. I just want working wifi. Right now, I have to do constant ifconfig <interface> down; ifconfig <interface> up | 09:32 |
| pp7 | Ben64: oh, i started at hardy | 09:32 |
| The_Phoenix | Anybody? Am looking for Ubuntu 64 bit torrent for Intel. Which is the right one? | 09:32 |
| Ben64 | I had really bad experiences with Gutsy, going to stick with LTS versions now | 09:33 |
| Ben64 | The_Phoenix: the amd64 version | 09:33 |
| libnotify | I am looking into building a small shell account server. any way i can configure the server so that users are able to download what they need but not change system settings? | 09:33 |
| The_Phoenix | Ben64: Isn't AMD64 for AMD only? | 09:33 |
| Ben64 | The_Phoenix: nope | 09:33 |
| jpds | The_Phoenix: No. | 09:33 |
| Church | Phoenix: as most cpus from amd and intel know support 64bit, i'd probably choose depending on ram ammount. upto 2-3GB - i386 version, 4 and more - amd64. | 09:33 |
| Ben64 | amd was first with 64 bit, so they win | 09:33 |
| almoxarife | atvr: screw all that terminal stuff till it comes up, for the love of god, just get the install out of the way, btw, those install options are pretty generic, don't get carried away with exotics during the install, straight forward put system on machine | 09:33 |
| Hordeking | I really didn't think wireless was going to regress with a fresh install up to 11.10. | 09:34 |
| Ben64 | Hordeking: wait, what happened with your wireless? | 09:34 |
| fidel | libnotify: what do you mean by "downloading what they need"? | 09:34 |
| The_Phoenix | I have 4GB. But, the AMD64 and Intel64 have slight differences. | 09:34 |
| NimeshNeema | !man ubottu | 09:34 |
| Hordeking | Ben64: Hardware is probably fine. OS seems to have major issues with it now. | 09:34 |
| NimeshNeema | !man | 09:35 |
| ubottu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 09:35 |
| The_Phoenix | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Differences_between_AMD64_and_Intel_64 | 09:35 |
| NimeshNeema | !apt | 09:35 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 09:35 |
| Ben64 | Hordeking: on 10.04 my laptop was doing fine with wireless, on 12.04 i'm getting ~10% of the throughput as 10.04 did | 09:35 |
| atvr | almoxarife: okay i will try to install it right away i will download the alternative installation, and if i have issue regarding the black screen can i ask you some help | 09:35 |
| quiescens | The_Phoenix: the biggest difference being that nothing actually uses intel's IA64 these days | 09:35 |
| almoxarife | Hordeking: during an install ubuntu calls back to mama, well it would unless you got wifi and its secured | 09:35 |
| jpds | The_Phoenix: Intel 64 is something completely different. | 09:35 |
| Hordeking | Ben64: My wireless was flawless with 10.10, but cam barely stay up. | 09:35 |
| libnotify | fidel: mean if they like want to install console apps | 09:35 |
| jpds | The_Phoenix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium | 09:35 |
| Ben64 | Hordeking: intel wireless chip perchance? | 09:35 |
| almoxarife | atvr: sure | 09:36 |
| Hordeking | Ben64: broadcom. Was working fine for 9.04 through 10.10 | 09:36 |
| The_Phoenix | Anyway, thanks for the clarification Ben64, jpds and quiescens. Am just trying to get the 64 bit version for a Sandy Bridge i3. | 09:36 |
| cockmaster | Can I somehow hack a way to port Ubuntu's apt-get to Mac OS X? | 09:36 |
| Ben64 | The_Phoenix: the amd64 version is what you want then | 09:36 |
| fidel | libnotify: i doubt you are willing to give shell-users access to apt | 09:36 |
| atvr | almoxarife: my hardware is a amd vision a6 so does i have to download the 64bit-pc amd64 | 09:36 |
| The_Phoenix | thanks Ben64. | 09:36 |
| libnotify | yes exactly | 09:37 |
| Hordeking | I'm very surprised my wifi hasn't needed a reset yet... | 09:37 |
| almoxarife | atvr: you want the 'alternate-amd64-11.10' | 09:37 |
| Ben64 | i wonder what changed for wireless to break | 09:37 |
| Hordeking | Ben64: Possibly the kernel itself? | 09:37 |
| almoxarife | Hordeking: are you using wifi(n)? | 09:38 |
| Hordeking | Ben64: I saw something like that. | 09:38 |
| libnotify | so there is no way to give them access to apt but they are unable to make system changes? | 09:38 |
| fidel | libnotify: how about adding a custom welcome message including a mailadress a la: user-wishes@your-domain.whatever and handle that part manually in case someone really needs something? | 09:38 |
| Ben64 | Hordeking: i guess it could be... | 09:38 |
| Hordeking | almoxarife: Not that I know of. | 09:38 |
| atvr | almoxarife: okep, and one last thing lol would it be possible for you to give me a direct link for the download only to make sure i really have the good thing | 09:38 |
| Ben64 | I should try compiling an older kernel | 09:38 |
| Hordeking | almoxarife: My router is a WRT54GL | 09:38 |
| cockmaster | Is it possbile to install some version of Ubuntu on an iPad? | 09:38 |
| Hordeking | almoxarife: It was certainly working before I took the OS up to 11.10 | 09:39 |
| almoxarife | atvr: nope, I would be doing the same thing you need to do, I will be glad to verify your link though | 09:39 |
| atvr | almoxarife: http://ubuntu-cd.mirror.iweb.ca/oneiric/ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso | 09:40 |
| Hordeking | almoxarife: There do seem to be major wifi issues with Ubuntu 11+ | 09:40 |
| almoxarife | Hordeking: I don't use wifi at home, wife does though, so I use her as a test-bed (she don't know it) , and the router has a lot to do with the quality of the wifi | 09:40 |
| Ben64 | almoxarife: my wireless has gotten very bad after upgrading too | 09:41 |
| almoxarife | atvr: looks good, torrent would be faster but good | 09:41 |
| Hordeking | almoxarife: Even if it seemed to be flawless before? I don't seem to get a poor connection. I get a downright intermittent one, and it's only solved by resetting the interface with ifconfig. | 09:41 |
| atvr | almoxarife: yeah but i dont have bit torrent | 09:41 |
| cockmaster | Can any of you Ubuntu niggers tell me if there is any way to use Ubuntu as a tablet? Like some Android tablet but Ubuntu instead? | 09:42 |

| almoxarife | atvr: d/l it regular method | 09:42 |

| almoxarife | Hordeking: I gave up on wifi in the house, tried the ethernet via electrical line? the voip phone runs flawless on it, just a bit lower than regular ethernet | 09:47 |

| Eartaker | hmm | 09:49 |
| almoxarife | Eartaker: 'computer'? | 09:49 |
| Hordeking | almoxarife: My main box has an ethernet, which works fine, after the D-Link from 4 years ago in it still isn't supported. The wifi issue is with a laptop computer, where ethernet isn't a very viable option. | 09:49 |
| quiescens | .. | 09:49 |
| Eartaker | its not seeing my disk drive | 09:49 |
| Eartaker | but im I insert a disk it pops up and mounts | 09:49 |
| Eartaker | not for a blank disk though | 09:50 |
| Humbedooh | how would you mount a blank disk anywho :< | 09:50 |
| Eartaker | i guess you woulding but im trying to burn a iso | 09:50 |
| jonsaint | hi all. i got pidgin messenger which i just set up. problem i got is i got one single box telling me no accounts set up and to go to accounts to add one. problem is, i cant find out how to get there as i only got this single box telling me that | 09:50 |
| Hordeking | I'll probably just blow the current OS away and roll back to 11.10. I didn't care for the fact that I had to go to so much trouble to get gnome back anyway. | 09:50 |
| Hordeking | Roll back to 10.10 | 09:51 |
| almoxarife | Eartaker: nevermind seeing it, what are you trying to do with your blank? | 09:51 |
| Eartaker | almoxarife: trying to burn a iso | 09:51 |

| Eartaker | I have tried K3b but it dosnt see it | 09:51 |
| Eartaker | and brasero | 09:51 |
| Eartaker | K3b says this: | 09:52 |
| Eartaker | K3b did not find any optical device in your system. | 09:52 |
| Eartaker | Solution: Make sure HAL daemon is running, it is used by K3b for finding devices. | 09:52 |
| mysteriousdarren | Hordeking: are you that much in love with gnome? | 09:52 |
| almoxarife | Eartaker: brasero does not see the drive with the blank in it? | 09:52 |
| Eartaker | almoxarife: nope | 09:52 |
| Hordeking | mysteriousdarren: I like my desktop real estate, and I kind of like having the taskbars :) But wifi is the killer here. | 09:53 |
| almoxarife | Hordeking: join #kubuntu for a sec | 09:53 |
| Hordeking | almoxarife: #kubuntu | 09:53 |
| Eartaker | my disk drive is also not in "computer" | 09:54 |
| NimeshNeema | apt | 09:55 |
| mysteriousdarren | Hordeking: well switch to a different de and then there is no reason to roll back | 09:55 |
| Sidewinder1 | Eartaker, It may be a "+RW, -RW", issue; I have two 'burners (a +RW and a -RW) and sometimes a blank will only work (be seen) by one. | 09:56 |

| NimeshNeema | how to install java on 11.10 | 09:56 |

| pooja | NimeshNeema: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk | 09:58 |
| Sidewinder1 | for, even; 'tis early here. :-) | 09:58 |
| Eartaker | Sidewinder1: i know this... its not hardware it works fine in windows | 09:58 |
| mysteriousdarren | Hordeking: what are you problems with wifi? | 09:59 |
| Hordeking | I can't even figure that out. It just goes down a lot, for no reason. I have to do an ifconfig down on it, then an ifconfig up to get it back. | 09:59 |
| Hordeking | It seems to do it more when I'm actually using the connection, though | 10:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | Eartaker, Actually I think I made a mistake (fancy that), the W means re-writable, sorry. | 10:00 |
| Hordeking | mysteriousdarren: It wasn't having this problem on 10.10, so I highly doubt it's a hardware problem. | 10:01 |
| Hordeking | mysteriousdarren: I don't recall dmesg giving any illumination | 10:03 |
| mysteriousdarren | reinstall the driver? | 10:03 |
| Hordeking | mysteriousdarren: I've tried. I've tried just reinstalling the OS itself. I've tried the b43-fwcutter and stuff, etc | 10:04 |

| mikeru | hey, how can I recompile the alsa drivers? | 10:19 |
| mikeru | (I only want to recompile the snd-hda-codec-cirrus one) | 10:19 |
| chromaticwt | will the next release of ubuntu use python 3 by default instead of python 2? | 10:20 |
| oCean | chromaticwt: you can discuss the next release in #ubuntu+1 channel | 10:20 |
| mikeru | I'm on 11.10. I tried apt-get source alsa-drivers, patched the patch_cirrus.c file (a minor tweak, changing the GPIO1 to 2 for the iMac's headphone jack to work) and when I debuild'd and installed the packages it told me to install m-a to compile the drivers | 10:21 |
| mikeru | I did | 10:21 |
| mikeru | but | 10:21 |
| chromaticwt | ok | 10:21 |
| ariefage | i have blackbuntu | 10:21 |

| mikeru | compile fails with <linux/smp_lock.h> not found (which is no longer needed) | 10:21 |
| oCean | ariefage: please not that blackbuntu is not a supported ubuntu derivative, and offtopic here | 10:22 |
| oCean | please note* | 10:22 |
| mikeru | I can't help but wonder -- with what sources do the ubuntu maintaners build packages? aren't the source packages supposed to be the same as the one used by them? | 10:22 |
| atotclic | !voice es | 10:23 |
| linxeh | mikeru: you could grep the source to find where else that file is referenced | 10:23 |
| mikeru | it does include patches in the debian dir but most of them actually break compilation even more (and some actually add the <linux/smp_lock.h> to the sources) | 10:23 |
| mikeru | linxeh: yes I did. then I had to edit some @CONFIG_(something)_KERNELSRC@ to @CONFIG_(something)_KERNELDIR@ | 10:24 |
| mikeru | and then, I stumbled upon some #include "imgs/cssomethng.h" which can't be found | 10:24 |
| mikeru | and indeed, there's no imgs folder. | 10:24 |
| mikeru | (and there are like 4 includes to files in that dir) | 10:24 |
| oCean | mikeru: you could ask in #ubuntu-devel channel | 10:25 |
| mikeru | oCean: ok, will do. thanks | 10:25 |

| ubottu | atotclic: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:29 |
| Sidewinder1 | hrolf, I would assume that "normal" FF is windows based and the latter linux based; different directory structure, different plug-ins, etc.. | 10:29 |

| Sidewinder1 | hrolf, Yes. | 10:30 |
| Sidewinder1 | hrolf, I'm assuming that's what you meant by 'normal.' | 10:31 |
| hrolf | Sidewinder1: If the other one is for Linux, then why is it Ubuntu only. Shouldn't it be like Firefox for Linux rather than Firefox for Ubuntu | 10:32 |

| ekakela | atvr: the installer lets you partition and format your drive during the installation | 10:39 |
| atvr | iceroot: cuz i am installing with the alternative version and the only thing i can do is rescue the previos version | 10:39 |

| oCean | flux242: I'm not sure how to do that in a oneliner. You could do a grep strings file1 > grep1.out and same for file2, then run diff grep1.out grep2.out | 10:39 |

| linkux | need help how i can install themes from http://art.gnome.org/ on UBUNTU 11.10 | 10:47 |
| Church | linkux: you could simply google for that instead of repeating question | 10:47 |
| theadmin | !repeat | linkux | 10:47 |
| ubottu | linkux: 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/ | 10:47 |
| almoxarife | atvr: I remember suggesting the 'alternate-amd64-11.10' | 10:47 |
| atvr | almoxarife: yes | 10:47 |
| oCean | Church: please don't refer to google here, thanks | 10:47 |
| Church | hmm, why? :/ | 10:47 |
| theadmin | !google | Church | 10:47 |
| ubottu | Church: 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. | 10:47 |
| linkux | ok thanks | 10:48 |
| atvr | almoxarife: so how do i instal it | 10:48 |
| almoxarife | atvr: no idea, you have the livecd install according to what you just said earlier | 10:49 |
| silus | !ops ClubHOuSe fucker!! | 10:50 |
| ubottu | silus: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:50 |
| silus | :))) | 10:50 |
| FloodBot1 | silus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:50 |
| atvr | almoxarife: i dont know if its the live cd instal, my screen is in black and white and to choose the option i have to use the keyboard | 10:50 |
| Sidewinder1 | !ru | silus | 10:51 |
| ubottu | silus: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. | 10:51 |
| silus | no need | 10:51 |
| bazhang | silus, why do you call that | 10:51 |
| troydm | what's the best way to connect to host using ssh when you have a bunch of keys in keychain that are getting offered and server hits too many authentication errors? | 10:52 |
| silus | i`m new here just want to see iff it works | 10:52 |
| troydm | is it possible to explicitly specify with-password option ? | 10:52 |
| atvr | almoxarife: i will try somthing, i have a cd here that make me able to format the hdd so i will format and then try to instal it, does that sound good | 10:52 |
| troydm | instead of offerening all those keys | 10:52 |
| pnorman | troydm: It's possible to set up ssh to only offer a specified key or use a password | 10:52 |
| almoxarife | atvr: (02:42:19) atvr: when i am at the first menu, wich i can choose to only try it or install it, when i press enter on the install, my laptop beep and it dose nothing <-- I don't believe 'try' is an option of alternate | 10:52 |
| Sidewinder1 | silus, Guess you got your answer. :) | 10:52 |
| troydm | pnorman: yes, using -I iguess? | 10:53 |
| bazhang | silus, it's only for channel emergencies, don't do that again | 10:53 |
| atvr | almoxarife: but i have downloaded the alternat version, and in the .iso it says alternat | 10:53 |
| troydm | pnorman: but what if i want password authentication | 10:53 |
| pnorman | troydm: You can either do it in ~/.ssh/config or with a command line option. The exact syntax escapes me | 10:53 |
| silus | ok bazhang :_) | 10:53 |
| atvr | almoxarife: it dont says try it but run it on this usb, sorry for that | 10:56 |
| WiLd_TuRkeY | got my first mention on twitter from the homenaway :D | 10:56 |
| oCean | WiLd_TuRkeY: please use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat | 10:56 |
| troydm | found it | 10:56 |
| troydm | alias sshp="ssh -oPasswordAuthentication=yes -o HostbasedAuthentication=no -o PubkeyAuthentication=no" | 10:56 |
| WiLd_TuRkeY | sorry oCean thort i was in another general chat-room | 10:56 |
| pnorman | troydm: Ah, there you go. You might want to look at setting up your ssh config to not offer so many keys up to unspecified hosts | 10:57 |
| almoxarife | atvr: what did you use to place the iso on the usb? | 10:57 |
| troydm | pnorman: yeah that might be another way | 10:58 |
| nigelb | Hi, what's the right way to get rid of this dpkg error for this package? I don't care about the package, I'm happy to remove it http://paste.ubuntu.com/788733/ | 10:58 |
| atvr | almoxarife: uneversal usb installer, ive download it on ubuntu web site | 10:58 |
| silus | what is that line ? | 11:01 |
| silus | alias sshp="ssh -oPasswordAuthentication=yes -o HostbasedAuthentication=no -o PubkeyAuthentication=no" | 11:01 |
| pnorman | silus: that was what troydm used for his ssh problem | 11:01 |
| silus | what was his ssh problem? | 11:02 |
| troydm | silus: it's an alias (basicly shortcut) to a full command | 11:02 |
| pnorman | silus: too many keys | 11:02 |
| troydm | silus: of ssh password only authentication | 11:03 |
| silus | to many keys so what? | 11:03 |
| pnorman | silus: ssh can authenticate with keys instead of passwords | 11:03 |
| silus | .ssh is login telenet and all the passwords? | 11:03 |
| silus | and can`t go wild? | 11:03 |
| troydm | silus: when i try to use ssh to connect to host instead of offering me to type password it rejects my connections | 11:03 |
| troydm | silus: because my ssh is offerening him a lot of keys | 11:04 |
| troydm | silus: before offerening password | 11:04 |
| silus | is a ubuntu problem? | 11:04 |
| silus | yes i found this problem to. | 11:05 |
| troydm | silus: no sorry, it's general type of problem | 11:05 |
| phoenix_firebrd | anyone here familiar in reading S.M.A.R.T data? | 11:05 |
| pnorman | silus: it's an odd problem to have. using key based authentication isn't too uncommon, but having too many keys isn't too frequent | 11:05 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: what's your question | 11:05 |
| idaix | bonjour | 11:05 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: i will paste my smart data here, can you tell be what is the status of my harddisk? | 11:06 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: use pastebin or something, smart data can be fairly long. | 11:06 |
| Thorne | How do I fix this long wait for network configuration.. Waiting upto 60 seconds etc... . | 11:06 |
| silus | pnorman so. how can this be fixed if you don`t have acces to a system only with the ssh 22 and the system gets you out? | 11:06 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: ya sure | 11:06 |
| pnorman | silus: Not sure what you're asking. It's unlikely you have the same problem troydm had. | 11:07 |
| silus | pnorman i have this problem on 2 servers | 11:07 |
| Thorne | hmm | 11:07 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/788738/ | 11:07 |
| troydm | silus: can you ask your question again | 11:07 |
| troydm | silus: cause i can't find it in chat history | 11:08 |
| silus | pnorman so. how can this be fixed if you don`t have acces to a system only with the ssh 22 and the system gets you out? | 11:09 |
| silus | troydm.. how can this be fixed if you don`t have acces to a system only with the ssh 22 and the system gets you out? | 11:09 |
| pnorman | silus: What is the this you talk about? | 11:09 |
| blinky | hello | 11:09 |
| silus | you can`t insert the password. | 11:09 |
| troydm | silus: by "get's you out" you mean it just rejects connection using ssh ? | 11:09 |
| blinky | i got a question for you guys | 11:09 |
| silus | the system after you inserted the usernames get`s you out. | 11:10 |
| troydm | silus: ohh, you are trying to use root password or simple user? | 11:10 |
| troydm | s/root password/root i mean | 11:10 |
| silus | bouth | 11:10 |
| pnorman | silus: what's the command you're using to try to connect? | 11:10 |
| silus | I use putty | 11:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | !ask | blinky | 11:11 |
| ubottu | blinky: 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 | 11:11 |
| troydm | silus: simple vanilla ubuntu installation without any tinkering of ssh? | 11:11 |
| silus | on win xp.. | 11:11 |
| silus | dunou man | 11:11 |
| blinky | sure, thank you sidewinder and ubottu | 11:11 |
| silus | i don`t really install them | 11:11 |
| troydm | can you do ssh -v yourssh@yourip | 11:11 |
| silus | only update them. | 11:11 |
| troydm | and copy paste the output to pastebin | 11:11 |
| blinky | my question is | 11:12 |
| pnorman | silus: exactly what are you putting into the Host Name field in putty? | 11:12 |
| blinky | is the ssh links (https) traced by the isp? | 11:12 |
| atvr | in rescue mode can i format or delet partition | 11:12 |
| troydm | silus: you are using putty? then get it's log and see what the error is? | 11:12 |
| silus | I have things to do right now. not really for searching the 2 servers of the 1000 i have. se ya next year with this problem. | 11:12 |
| silus | have a good night. | 11:12 |
| silus | let the party starting@!! :_) | 11:13 |
| pnorman | blinky: an ISP could track where you're SSHing to, but that wouldn't enable them to sniff the connection | 11:13 |
| oCean | blinky: https is ssl, not ssh. And I think the ##security channel would be more appropriate to ask | 11:13 |
| blinky | pnorman, then how do i block the isp from tracking me? | 11:13 |
| [transcoders]man | is it true that ubuntu 12.04 is coming to smartphone devices too??? | 11:14 |
| oCean | [transcoders]man: channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion on 12.04 | 11:14 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: what about my harddisk? | 11:14 |
| pnorman | blinky: not really on topic for here, you'd be better off with a different chan | 11:14 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: not seeing anything wrong with the smart info. keep in mind, a drive can fail with no warnings and smart only catches some errors | 11:15 |
| Sidewinder1 | phoenix_firebrd, I took a quick look too, and didn't see anything 'outta-wack'. | 11:16 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: one small doubt, the column type says prefailure and oldage, can you tell me what does it mean? | 11:16 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Sidewinder1: what is the column which says the expected value ? | 11:17 |
| pnorman | it tells you what kind of indicator it is. pre-fail indicators are likely to change when something goes wrong. old_age will change as the drive gets old | 11:17 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: generally when a drive starts going, the VALUE of all sorts of attributes decrease to under TRESH | 11:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | phoenix_firebrd, I'm not sure and wouldn't want to tell you the wrong thing. "Power-On" time appears to be a little over a year, correct? | 11:19 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Sidewinder1: ya | 11:19 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: so is my drive failing | 11:19 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: I don't see any VALUEs under their THRESH | 11:20 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: can a faulty smps falsify a smart test? | 11:20 |
| pnorman | smps? | 11:21 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: ya | 11:21 |
| munzxttt | merry christmas! :) .... i am using ubuntu 11.04 and tried KDE which i think has corrupted some files as i get strange screens on booting/closing evern after i removed kde .... how can i fix it and is there is away to get back to a clean 11.04?! | 11:21 |
| pnorman | I'm asking what smps is. | 11:21 |
| Sidewinder1 | phoenix_firebrd, Other than 'Smart-Data' are there any other symptoms that you're experiencing or does it appear to be running fine? Regardless of your answer, Back-Ups are your friend. :-) | 11:21 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: 2 of the power terminals of the smps wont work | 11:21 |
| pnorman | http://paste.ubuntu.com/788745/ is an example of a smart status from a drive that exhibited a problem (bad cable) | 11:22 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: What is a smps? | 11:22 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: switch mode power supply | 11:22 |
| pnorman | Oh. A bad power supply wouldn't cause smart to be wrong, it would cause errors that smart isn't designed to detect | 11:23 |
| munzxttt | merry christmas! :) .... i am using ubuntu 11.04 and tried KDE which i think has corrupted some files as i get strange screens on booting/closing evern after i removed kde .... how can i fix it and is there is away to get back to a clean 11.04?! | 11:24 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: when i use a power socket from smsps which is faulty with the dvd writer, the drive keeps on seeking and its ok whn i use a good terminal | 11:24 |
| Sidewinder1 | phoenix_firebrd, There's no software, that I'm aware of that'll diagnose a potential PSU problem. | 11:24 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: sounds like a bad voltage rail that one is on but the other isn't. smart isn't designed to detect that kind of problem | 11:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Sidewinder1: thats right :) | 11:25 |
| pnorman | Sidewinder1: lm_sensors can sometimes | 11:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: ya | 11:25 |
| Unirgy | hi, was anyone able to compile dazukofs successfully? thanks | 11:25 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: mine was a warranty replace one , they gave me a certified repaired one | 11:26 |
| angela | what should I do if xubunto does not recognice the wireless device of a netbook | 11:26 |
| Sidewinder1 | phoenix_firebrd, The good news is that refurbished/reconditioned PSUs are relatively inexpensive; even if you need a 1000 watt, server PSU. | 11:27 |
| pnorman | Sidewinder1: owfs could also be used to read PSU voltages | 11:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | owfs? | 11:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | Like DVM? | 11:27 |
| pnorman | one wire file system, for reading one-wire sensors. you'd have to have the appropriate hardware | 11:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | Digital Volt Meter? | 11:27 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: in the Raw_Read_Error_Rate higher is better or lower is better? | 11:28 |
| pnorman | higher is good | 11:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | Well, thanks guys, I just learned two things.. :-) | 11:28 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: so that means if it reaches less than 6 , then something is wrong | 11:29 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: smartctl will then return a non-zero exit status, indicating something is wrong. | 11:29 |
| phoenix_firebrd | oh | 11:30 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: in my server i monitor the smart statuses so I can tell if something starts changing | 11:30 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: is there a frontend for smartctl? | 11:30 |
| Sidewinder1 | pnorman, Sounds like a mis-nomer, I would've thought that any 'error rate' lower would be better than higher.. | 11:30 |
| pnorman | smartctl is a frontend :) | 11:30 |
| pnorman | Sidewinder1: higher=good with SMART | 11:30 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: no i mean a gui front end | 11:31 |
| pnorman | phoenix_firebrd: Not sure. I don't use a GUI. I graph my smart stuff with munin. Anyways, off to bed | 11:31 |
| Sidewinder1 | pnorman, Nighty- night.. | 11:32 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: tahnk you | 11:32 |
| phoenix_firebrd | pnorman: thank you | 11:32 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Sidewinder1: thank you | 11:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | phoenix_firebrd, My pleasure; just wish I could've helped more. :D | 11:33 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Sidewinder1: you helped me enough | 11:34 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kewl. | 11:34 |
| Sidewinder1 | OT, but I used to own a 1978 Firebird, Formula. ;-) | 11:35 |
| Sidewinder1 | And lived in Phoenix, for a bit.. | 11:35 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Sidewinder1: you mean a pontiac? | 11:36 |
| Unirgy | is there a real time anti-malware solution for linux to monitor file system? i've tried avira and avg, but they require dazukofs module, which doesn't compile, tried maldetect, but inotify process works only on immediate directory and crashes | 11:36 |
| phoenix_firebrd | wish you all a happy new year | 11:37 |

| mysteriousdarren | Unirgy: bitdefender? | 11:38 |
| tapas | this is a fresh 11.10 install from yesterday | 11:38 |
| Sidewinder1 | Unirgy, I'm not sure but I don't think there's much demand for that sort of thing in *nix. You might be interested to read this, if you haven't already: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 | 11:38 |

| Myr | Greetings, I have a question about Wubi and the windows (XP) Boot.ini ... How do I get my wubi install to boot again? | 11:40 |
| Myr | Couldn't find anything useful with google | 11:40 |
| Adrian_ | Hi guys I have had ubuntu dual booting some years ago and just took a look at the new live distro and thought it looks amazing! Went to install on my brand new rig and I can't install ubuntu to the ssd I bought? | 11:41 |
| Sidewinder1 | Myr, It's just my opinion but WUBI is simply to try ubuntu, in a win environment; if you like ubuntu, install it and dual boot. This link will help w/WUBI and installation: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index | 11:42 |

| smile4ever | Myr: what's the problem? :) | 11:45 |
| mysteriousdarren | Unirgy: nvm about ESET, use bitdefender it works awesome and the other one was crap | 11:46 |
| Sidewinder1 | Myr, As I sated, that link has some info on WUBI; I can't answer your question as I've never used WUBI (I wouldn't touch WUBI, with your keyboard).. ;-) Sorry I have no definitive answer for you. :-( | 11:46 |

| Myr | Aye, I could | 11:48 |
| Okocha | #dns | 11:48 |
| smile4ever | Myr: or install Ubuntu directly :) | 11:48 |
| smile4ever | With GParted fixed in one hour :) | 11:48 |
| smile4ever | ^^ | 11:49 |
| mysteriousdarren | Unirgy: look at the little tab on the upper lefthand side | 11:49 |
| mysteriousdarren | near realted links | 11:49 |
| Unirgy | mysteriousdarren: oh got it | 11:49 |
| Myr | Could do ubuntu directly, but it always goes wrong with dualboot installing | 11:49 |
| smile4ever | Myr: with me it doesn't :) | 11:49 |
| Adrian_ | Myr: I have dual booted before always found very straightforard. | 11:50 |
| manners | hey guys was wondering if someone | 11:50 |
| manners | could help | 11:50 |
| smile4ever | yeah, we'll try if you explain your problem :) | 11:50 |
| mysteriousdarren | manners: what is the problem? | 11:50 |
| Sidewinder1 | Myr, The beauty of dual-boot is that you can do all of your 'Net' stuff in ubuntu and be almost totally secure; save the win os for games, Auto-Cad, etc.. | 11:50 |
| auronandace | manners: that would depend on the problem | 11:50 |
| Adrian_ | smile4ever: have you ever tried dual booting win7 and ubuntu to ssd | 11:50 |
| manners | iv got an old netbook with ubuntu on and its basically just gonna be a media server using ushare and a nas controller for the usb hdd | 11:50 |
| Sidewinder1 | Myr, What error do you get when trying to install dual boot? | 11:51 |
| smile4ever | Adrian_: I'm dualbooting Windows 7 and Lubuntu (on a hard disk drive) | 11:51 |
| manners | iv got the hdd showing up on it but when using samba i can see the share but cannot access it | 11:51 |
| manners | on my windows 7 machine i mean | 11:51 |
| smile4ever | manners: samba is crap :| | 11:52 |
| manners | now i have changed the settings in windows 7 as i used to have this drive on a openwrt box | 11:52 |
| smile4ever | manners: use dropbox :) | 11:52 |
| manners | lol what can i use | 11:52 |
| manners | ahh kk | 11:52 |
| Myr | Well, my grub dies... It boots directly to the grub prompt | 11:52 |
| manners | can it handle ntfs file systems | 11:52 |
| Adrian_ | smile4ever: I have done xp and ubuntu some time back but love the 11.10 look, just rebuilt a beutiful rig on a shoestring and was only planning on using the ssd as nice and quiet | 11:52 |
| smile4ever | yes ;) dropbox can | 11:52 |
| Sidewinder1 | Myr, Live CD or USB stick? | 11:52 |
| Myr | Live CD | 11:52 |
| manners | kk will install that now | 11:53 |
| manners | also whilst on the subject | 11:53 |
| Adrian_ | smile4ever: gparted or any ubuntu I have tried can't see the ssd? | 11:53 |
| manners | i tried changing the permissions on the drive to give everyone access to read and write but it keeps changing them back again | 11:53 |
| Sidewinder1 | Myr, OK, did you Md5sum the ISO image prior to burning, at the slowest speed to the CD? | 11:53 |

| Myr | Yes | 11:54 |
| smile4ever | Adrian_: hmm, problem :( | 11:54 |
| mysteriousdarren | Unirgy: my apologies | 11:54 |

| Adrian_ | d4nt3: can try recover my files it on torrent I have always had some results, just install and select drive and run. | 11:56 |
| auronandace | d4nt3: you want to recover a file that was on the external hd before it was formatted as ntfs? | 11:56 |
| manners | doo dropbox | 11:56 |
| smile4ever | d4nt3: go to a pc shop and let help you :) | 11:56 |
| smile4ever | i don't know any tools for linux | 11:56 |
| manners | do i really need dropbox seems like a comlex way of doing things | 11:56 |
| Sidewinder1 | Myr, Dang! I'm using 10.04 with Grub Legacy, not Grub2.. Not really sure what the problem might be. I'd read through the link that I gave you and see if anything 'pops-out' at you.. | 11:56 |
| MonkeyDust | d4nt3 you accidentally deleted files? if yes, use scalpel to recover the files | 11:56 |
| Adrian_ | smile4ever, d4nt3: pc repair shop is much easier! | 11:57 |
| smile4ever | manners: you could also install a vpn :) | 11:57 |
| Guest4399 | exit | 11:57 |
| d4nt3 | but how to recover .iso file? | 11:57 |
| MonkeyDust | d4nt3 you deledet it? | 11:57 |
| atvr | does the installation from a usb stick is defferent from a cd | 11:57 |
| Adrian_ | has anybody succesfully installed any linux distro to a ssd? | 11:57 |
| Sidewinder1 | d4nt3, Have you looked into "Testdisk?" | 11:57 |
| d4nt3 | i have already use testdisk and photorec | 11:57 |
| manners | i just want to share the files on the home network though | 11:58 |
| auronandace | Adrian_: plenty of people have installed ubuntu to ssd | 11:58 |
| MonkeyDust | d4nt3 try scalpel | 11:58 |
| atvr | does the installation from a usb stick is defferent from a cd | 11:58 |
| MonkeyDust | !info scalpel| d4nt3 | 11:58 |

| MonkeyDust | hm | 11:58 |
| auronandace | Adrian_: perhaps somebody has the same model ssd as you, try searching the ubuntu forums | 11:59 |
| d4nt3 | foremost can recover .iso file? | 11:59 |
| smile4ever | manners: i really hate samba because it fails very much :S | 11:59 |
| Adrian_ | auronandace: help me I have just built a new tower on a budget treated myself to an ssd, so quiet and quick, win 7 is great, ubuntu can't see the ssd details ie size format? | 11:59 |
| d4nt3 | i format the HD in windows...then can i get back all the file including .iso file? | 11:59 |
| smile4ever | Every time i tried to use it, it didn't work | 11:59 |
| manners | the strange thing is if i share the root | 12:00 |
| oCean | smile4ever: don't blame smb then | 12:00 |
| d4nt3 | i use photorec but photorec recover file that i don't own | 12:00 |
| auronandace | Adrian_: how new is the ssd, what model is it? | 12:00 |
| manners | i can get into everything on there except the usb hdd | 12:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | d4nt3, If both of those were totally unsuccessful it may be gone.. :-( | 12:00 |
| manners | its as if the permissions are whats stopping me | 12:00 |
| Adrian_ | auronandace: corsair force 90, christmas present but not a new release I don't think! | 12:00 |
| auronandace | Adrian_: try searching the ubuntu forums for that model | 12:01 |
| d4nt3 | if its gone...then im going to kill myself...for using my thumbdrive as swap | 12:01 |
| Ben64 | you can make publicly writable directories with samba | 12:01 |
| auronandace | Adrian_: sorry i can't help more but i have never used ssds | 12:01 |
| d4nt3 | thats affect my HD... | 12:01 |
| Adrian_ | auronandace: will have a look now. | 12:01 |
| manners | yes if the permissions would change | 12:02 |
| manners | i have samba running and its working doing what it should do anyways | 12:02 |
| Sidewinder1 | d4nt3, Not to sound totally goofy, but I feel your pain; that's why I'm a back-up, nut. | 12:02 |
| wafer | wow ;) | 12:02 |
| wafer | hi ;) | 12:02 |
| Sidewinder1 | wafer, Hey! | 12:02 |
| manners | other than the fact the usb hdd cannot be accessed | 12:02 |
| manners | but as i said im unable to change the permissions on that drive | 12:03 |
| d4nt3 | im thinking of getting my linux mint.iso file...but now its gone...and it take hours to download it...again | 12:03 |
| wafer | i'm new user ubuntu ;P nice OS :D | 12:03 |
| wafer | where is firefox??? | 12:03 |
| iceroot | wafer: installed by default | 12:04 |
| Gentoo64 | wafer, should be on the bar on the left | 12:04 |
| manners | if i right click the actual drive and go to permissions it says the permissions of elements could not be determined | 12:04 |
| iceroot | wafer: if you are not using lubuntu firefox is installed by default | 12:04 |
| wafer | ah, is ;) | 12:04 |
| wafer | i have conntact with world :D | 12:04 |
| iceroot | wafer: almost everything you need should be installed by default (libreoffice and flash are not installed by default) | 12:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | manners, Open it with a file mgr. click on a dir or file and click 'properties'; that should give you the permissions, at least for that dir/file on the ext. | 12:05 |
| wafer | btw. sorry with my language ;) | 12:05 |
| manners | is there something i have to do to take ownership of this drive | 12:05 |
| wafer | i from poland ;p | 12:05 |
| iceroot | wafer: there are also country-specific channels | 12:05 |

| maxagaz | how to repair this problem ? | 12:07 |
| irl | happy christmas | 12:08 |
| Gentoo64 | irl, christmas is over :) | 12:08 |
| auronandace | !cookie | Gentoo64 | 12:09 |
| ubottu | Gentoo64: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 12:09 |
| Gentoo64 | aw :) | 12:09 |
| Gentoo64 | i hope its triple choc | 12:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | Christmas Spirit should be present all year. OT, Side hits himself.. | 12:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | !botsnack | 12:10 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 12:10 |
| Gamoder | Hi everyone, what is the minimum connection speed where it does not make sense to compress ssh -X any longer? | 12:10 |
| manners | hmm that didnt work | 12:10 |
| Gentoo64 | maxagaz, what problem are you having? is it with a touchpad or ps2 key/mouse? | 12:10 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: ssh -X is always a bad idea and very slow | 12:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | manners, It always worked on my 5 external eSATA/USB drives. | 12:11 |
| Gamoder | ok, so is there an alternative for getting single applications displayed over a network? | 12:11 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: and what does the connection-speed have to do with compression? | 12:11 |
| lalagirl | Hi everyone. I'm installing Ubunti | 12:11 |
| manners | lol well it didnt say it failed | 12:11 |
| manners | just if i goto /media | 12:12 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: nx is a good alternative but its a complete session and not only one application | 12:12 |
| Gamoder | Well - the slower the connection, the more useful should compression be because de/compressing takes time but transferring data takes time as well | 12:12 |
| Gamoder | yeah, I only want one or two applications | 12:12 |
| manners | right click elements then look at permissions there still as defaults and if i change any and press close they dont actually change | 12:12 |
| lalagirl | How long does it take to install Ubuntu? | 12:12 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: the level of compression has more to do with cpu speed then connection-speed | 12:12 |
| coagula | if im running a command line build, but want to use a web browser with flash (gui), would setting up a chroot jail and building an instance of X maintain the integrity of my system? | 12:12 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: depening on the hardware 15-60 minutes | 12:12 |
| Sidewinder1 | manners, Perhaps sudo chown -R username:username /media/what-ever the mount-point and or UUID? | 12:13 |
| almoxarife | maxagaz: could you pastebin your /etc/default/grub | 12:13 |
| Entvex | hello how do i add a launchpad PPA key to my apt keyring? | 12:14 |
| lalagirl | While its installing Ubuntu, it says "Retrieving file 59 of 69 (30s remaining)" why? | 12:14 |
| Gamoder | iceroot: Well - but if I got a slow connection then, if I transfer more data (no compression) it will take more time than if I transfer less data (with compression) - on the other hand, if I got a slow cpu it will take more time if there is more to do (compression) than if there is less to do (no compression) | 12:14 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, its downloading stuff | 12:14 |
| Gamoder | I got a 2,3 Ghz i5 processor and about 700 kb/s speed | 12:15 |
| lalagirl | Gentoo64 what is it downloading? | 12:15 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, idk, maybe language packs | 12:15 |
| manners | odd thing is i can read and write files on the ubuntu machine | 12:15 |
| Gentoo64 | did you choose to download updates while installling? | 12:15 |
| manners | to the external hdd | 12:15 |
| lalagirl | Gentoo64 Do I need them? I will only run in English? | 12:15 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, probably not, i dont even know if it is language packs | 12:16 |
| Sidewinder1 | manners, To determine the UUID of the drives, including the external, try: ls -l dev/disk/by-uuid | 12:16 |
| MonkeyDust | lalagirl maybe there's a skip button, if not, you can delete them after installation | 12:16 |
| lalagirl | Gentoo64 it says "Downloading language packs (5:03 remaining)..." | 12:16 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, ok well thats it then :) | 12:16 |
| lalagirl | MonkeyDust I pressed the skip button | 12:16 |
| Entvex | ahh found it | 12:17 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: and what does higher compression has to do with lower connection speed? | 12:17 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: i dont get what you want | 12:17 |
| lalagirl | Okay it is done installing Ubuntu… that took a long time | 12:17 |
| Entvex | it was apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <key id> | 12:17 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, id just leave it i doubt they take much space | 12:17 |
| manners | Sidewinder1 if i can access it via ubuntu and edit files should i need to change permissions, also if with samba i share the route i can access it from my windows 7 machine but if i navigate to the usb hdd it wont let me have access to the directory | 12:17 |
| Gamoder | I think that higher compression = less data = less time to transfer the data | 12:17 |
| Entvex | thanks man pages :D | 12:17 |
| manners | sorry root | 12:17 |
| lalagirl | it took 6 minutes to install Ubuntu? | 12:17 |
| Sidewinder1 | manners, And the external can't be written to because it's owned by 'root', correct? | 12:18 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, you said a long time? | 12:18 |
| MonkeyDust | lalagirl that's possible, modifications may take longer | 12:18 |
| Gamoder | and if I got less connection speed this "less time" matters more than the "more time" due to the CPU-time used for compression | 12:18 |
| illic1t | in webmin which shell option do u choose to give a user full access to my server? | 12:18 |
| jolson_ | I wish to report a bug, but ubuntu-bug wants me to name the package at fault and I have no idea. It's about fonts not being drawn correctly and it affects many applications at once. | 12:18 |
| manners | well by the user max | 12:18 |
| atvr | lalagirl: the way you speak i think you have never installed windows XD you would think that ubuntu install fast as hell ;p | 12:18 |
| illic1t | bin/bash? | 12:18 |
| iceroot | illic1t: dont use webmin | 12:18 |
| lalagirl | atvr I have a mac | 12:18 |
| iceroot | !webmin | illic1t | 12:18 |
| ubottu | illic1t: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 12:18 |
| manners | which is my son used to be his netbook | 12:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | !webmin | illic1t | 12:18 |
| illic1t | sorry | 12:18 |
| lalagirl | atvr I bought Windows 7 and will install it later… first let me install Ubuntu | 12:19 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: its better to install windows first | 12:19 |
| MonkeyDust | lalagirl if you install windows after ubuntu, you'll have to repair grub | 12:19 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: because windows will kill grub and you have to reinstall grub | 12:19 |
| lalagirl | atvr by the way, how long does Windows take to install? | 12:20 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: ##windows | 12:20 |
| atvr | lalagirl: this is off-topic but you cant instal windows on a mac machine | 12:20 |
| MonkeyDust | lalagirl at least 1 hour | 12:20 |
| iceroot | atvr: of course you can | 12:20 |
| MonkeyDust | ok | 12:20 |
| ShadowE9899 | it takes me about 15 mins here with windows 7 | 12:20 |
| Gentoo64 | all depends on the pc | 12:20 |
| iceroot | atvr: if it is not ppc | 12:20 |
| Gentoo64 | some can take 4-5 mins some 2 hours | 12:20 |
| lalagirl | okay | 12:20 |
| lalagirl | it says "If possible, eject the CD-ROM from inside the guest before disconnecting. | 12:21 |
| lalagirl | Disconnect anyway and override the lock?" What should I do? | 12:21 |
| atvr | lalagirl: depends on your hardware performance, it may take 10min or 1hour | 12:21 |
| soee | how can i remove (terminal) all files with specific extension ? | 12:21 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, just reboot | 12:21 |
| iceroot | soee: rm *.txt | 12:21 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, or choose device/cdrom then eject from vboc | 12:21 |
| Gentoo64 | x | 12:21 |
| Gentoo64 | or remove device / whatever | 12:21 |
| lalagirl | Gentoo64 whats vboc? | 12:21 |
| Gentoo64 | vbox (if thats what youre using) | 12:21 |
| iceroot | !vbox | lalagirl | 12:22 |
| ubottu | lalagirl: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 12:22 |
| MonkeyDust | soee with find and rm {} | 12:22 |
| Gamoder | ok, I cannot watch videos - but otherwise, speed seems to be quite ok | 12:22 |
| soee | iceroot, Monarquista thank you | 12:22 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: what videos? | 12:22 |
| lalagirl | Gentoo64 oh I bought VMware Fusion 4, is that okay to run Ubuntu? | 12:22 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: flash? or others? | 12:22 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, yeah | 12:22 |
| Gamoder | neither nor - ssh seems to be too slow for that | 12:22 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: watching videos over ssh -X..... | 12:23 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, before you buy stuff, there are free alternatives :) vbox is fine | 12:23 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: as i already said, ssh -X is bad and very slow | 12:23 |
| Ben64 | vmware has a free version too | 12:23 |
| Gentoo64 | Ben64 yeah but only player afaik | 12:23 |
| Gamoder | well - maybe, but I don't want a complete session - and it is sufficent for lowriter, firefox etc. | 12:23 |
| Ben64 | yeah, and? | 12:23 |
| Ben64 | it works perfectly | 12:24 |
| Gentoo64 | Ben64, which means youd need existing vm | 12:24 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: you can mount the filesystem with sshfs | 12:24 |
| Ben64 | nope, you can make them | 12:24 |
| ShadowE9899 | I agree vbox works great here. I do all my dev in it to keep my work isolated. | 12:24 |
| iceroot | Gamoder: then it should be possible to watch videos over that | 12:24 |
| Gentoo64 | Ben64, you might as well use full on vbox | 12:24 |
| MonkeyDust | so far, i havent been able to install vmware in ubuntu, i now use vbox | 12:24 |
| Ben64 | vbox isn't as full featured | 12:24 |
| Gamoder | ah, nice, could try out that too :-) | 12:24 |
| lalagirl | wait I am on mac so i bought vmware fusion 4 so i can run ubuntu on mac | 12:24 |
| Gentoo64 | Ben64, most people prefer it for normal use | 12:24 |
| ShadowE9899 | Ben64: It has enough features for a home user. Now a datacenter is a different story | 12:25 |
| lalagirl | it seems like ubuntu is compatible with vmware fusion 4 | 12:25 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: you bought expensiv mac-hardware to use windows and linux? isnt the only reason to buy mac hardware to run mac osx? | 12:25 |
| Ben64 | vmware is free and better : / | 12:25 |
| Gentoo64 | Ben64, argue all you like lol | 12:25 |
| iceroot | Ben64: vmware is not "free" (as in free speech) | 12:25 |
| Gamoder | Thanks, iceroot - nautilus has ssh-support. Now I don't need samba any longer | 12:25 |
| Gentoo64 | vbox is also faster | 12:25 |
| maxagaz | almoxarife: I have just tried the /etc/default/grub which is here http://www.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-18941526-ubuntu-erreur-de-sortie-d-etat-127 | 12:25 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 OT: link to vmware installer pls? | 12:26 |
| lalagirl | iceroot some programs are not on mac for some dumb reason so i have to use ubuntu and windows alongside mac | 12:26 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: ok | 12:26 |
| Ben64 | MonkeyDust: you can't google? :( | 12:26 |
| lalagirl | iceroot i'm getting tired spending so much money on software so i think ubuntu will help because its free | 12:26 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 fun-spoiler :p | 12:26 |
| maxagaz | almoxarife: it's now upgrading, but I get similar errors... | 12:26 |
| Ben64 | well it'll take a bit to get you a link, maxing out my connection atm | 12:27 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: its free (as in free beer) and (very important) its free as in free speech | 12:27 |
| iceroot | !free | lalagirl | 12:27 |
| ubottu | lalagirl: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 12:27 |
| lalagirl | iceroot beer isn't free | 12:27 |
| ShadowE9899 | If it wasn't for open source I probably wouldn't know how to program =/ | 12:28 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: free beer is of course free :) | 12:28 |
| Seveas | free as in freezing | 12:28 |
| Ben64 | MonkeyDust: www.vmware.com/go/get-player | 12:28 |
| Ben64 | you need to register | 12:28 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, i thought id seen you in this channel for a long time, how come all the questions? :s | 12:28 |
| almoxarife | maxagaz: I can't read french, ><>...... | 12:28 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: hm maybe not if apple would sell beer, even it is free beer because you need an adapter matching your mouth which will cost 29,95€ | 12:28 |
| MonkeyDust | Ben64 tnx | 12:29 |
| Seveas | iceroot, it'll be iBeer, taste like crap, but it'll be shiny | 12:29 |
| maxagaz | almoxarife: well, the file is not in french | 12:29 |
| Seveas | and people will love it for the shine | 12:29 |
| iceroot | Seveas: and pink | 12:29 |
| Seveas | no, white | 12:29 |
| Ben64 | white beer :S | 12:29 |
| iceroot | Seveas: with round corners | 12:29 |
| ShadowE9899 | lol | 12:29 |
| atvr | as you talk about crap lol is it possible to put linux on iphone | 12:30 |
| lalagirl | Gentoo64 i'm lalagirl's friend | 12:30 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, ah ok | 12:30 |
| iceroot | atvr: yes | 12:30 |
| Seveas | atvr, google for rockbox. | 12:30 |
| ShadowE9899 | really? | 12:30 |
| oCean | let's move back on topic please | 12:30 |
| lalagirl | Gentoo64 she told me to use this chat thing incase if i need help installing ubuntu | 12:30 |
| iceroot | atvr: but not GNU/Linux | 12:30 |
| iceroot | oCean: we are not offtopic when we are speaking about freedom | 12:30 |
| atvr | iceroot: what is gnu linux | 12:31 |
| Seveas | iceroot, well, this channel is really about support | 12:31 |
| rokia | hi everybody, i have a question about java and linux. how can i know which charset is used when i call a write method on OutputStreamWriter . because i think write use a jvm 's charset and jvm depends on the operating system | 12:31 |
| oCean | atvr: please note that this channel is not for general linux support, just ubuntu | 12:31 |
| iceroot | atvr: have a look at gnu.org what GNU/Linux is, also debian.org | 12:31 |
| Seveas | atvr, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/OutputStreamWriter.html | 12:32 |
| ShadowE9899 | you guys wasn't joking about ubuntu on the iphone... does it work well with other iOS devices? | 12:32 |
| Seveas | OutputStreamWriters have a getEncoding method | 12:32 |
| lalagirl | okay now i installed ubuntu… how can i update it? | 12:32 |
| iceroot | atvr: the short story is Ubuntu is a GNU/Linux system, Android is a Linux system | 12:32 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: update like sec-updates or update like release-update? | 12:32 |
| ShadowE9899 | or am i misreading these results from google lmao | 12:33 |
| lalagirl | iceroot all updates | 12:33 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:33 |
| hasufell | help!! i cant see this video in my ubuntu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc | 12:33 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: also the software-center should offer an option about available updates | 12:33 |
| lalagirl | iceroot sudo what? | 12:33 |
| Seveas | lalagirl, open the update manager and click 'check' and 'install updates' | 12:33 |
| lalagirl | iceroot what's sudo | 12:33 |
| Seveas | no need for termminal commands :) | 12:33 |
| iceroot | !sudo | lalagirl | 12:33 |
| ubottu | lalagirl: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 12:33 |
| Ben64 | lalagirl: do what Seveas said | 12:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | lalagirl, What version of ubuntu did you install? | 12:33 |
| Ben64 | its way easier | 12:34 |
| lalagirl | iceroot i feel dumb… sorry if i'm asking dumb questions, i'm new to this! | 12:34 |
| Seveas | lalagirl, no need to feel dumb :) | 12:34 |
| lalagirl | Sidewinder1 it Ubuntu 11.10 | 12:34 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: there are no dump questions, its great you are using ubuntu and you are welcome to this channel to ask all your ubuntu releated questions | 12:34 |
| Ben64 | nobody instantly knew how to work linux their first time | 12:35 |
| manners | ok got that fixed now | 12:35 |
| manners | next issue | 12:35 |
| manners | is there a gui for ushare in ubuntu | 12:35 |
| owenll1 | !flash | hasufell | 12:36 |
| ubottu | hasufell: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 12:36 |
| lalagirl | are "pre-released updates (oneiric-proposed)" safe to install?? | 12:36 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: no | 12:36 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: dont use them | 12:36 |
| hasufell | can i watch porn then too?! | 12:36 |
| ShadowE9899 | lol | 12:36 |
| hasufell | i cant see porn | 12:36 |
| oCean | hasufell: wrong channel for that | 12:36 |
| Gentoo64 | hasufell, stop troling please | 12:36 |
| n3rV3 | :) | 12:36 |
| hasufell | PLEASE | 12:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | lalagirl, Then you can't do a dist-upgrade; at least not yet.. | 12:36 |
| oCean | hasufell: this channel is for ubuntu tech support only, stop the offtopic talk | 12:36 |
| hasufell | i need FAP FAP FAP | 12:36 |
| Seveas | hasufell, Ubuntu can play almost all videos. just some DRM-encumbered ones don't play. | 12:36 |
| Gentoo64 | i think someones been on the shandies | 12:37 |
| Sidewinder1 | lalagirl, 12.04's not due to be released for a few months. | 12:37 |
| darkowlzz | Can I use Oracle in Ubuntu? | 12:37 |
| Seveas | darkowlzz, yes you can. | 12:37 |
| Romance | pffft, i can't open terminal suddenly! what happened | 12:37 |
| Romance | dang | 12:37 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: proposed updates are updates which are not tested or tested at the moment so they can break things | 12:37 |
| oCean | darkowlzz: however oracle did not certify ubuntu/debian | 12:37 |
| Seveas | Romance, it's rebelling! | 12:37 |
| n3rV3 | darkowlzz, yes you can | 12:37 |
| darkowlzz | Seveas, which package to download | 12:37 |
| lalagirl | Sidewinder1 so how do i get Ubuntu 12.04 beta? | 12:37 |
| iceroot | darkowlzz: yes | 12:37 |
| Ben64 | lalagirl: you don't want it | 12:37 |
| iceroot | darkowlzz: ask oracle what you should use | 12:38 |
| oCean | lalagirl: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (still alpha). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion | 12:38 |
| Seveas | darkowlzz, you'll need to contact oracle sales and pay them a lot of money :) | 12:38 |
| Ben64 | I put 12.04 on my laptop and I regret it | 12:38 |
| lalagirl | Ben64 i don't want anything, but my friend wants the latest ubuntu stuff | 12:38 |
| Ben64 | it's unstable | 12:38 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, if you just managed to install ubuntu, why do you want the beta already | 12:38 |
| Ben64 | nobody wants that yet | 12:38 |
| darkowlzz | Seveas, no free way | 12:38 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: please dont use 12.04, use 11.10 if you want the latest stable release | 12:38 |
| Seveas | Ben64, 11.10 was less stable for me than 12.04 alpha though. unity kept crashing in 11.10 | 12:38 |
| lalagirl | Gentoo64 it's not me, its my friend… i don't know anything... | 12:38 |
| iceroot | darkowlzz: oracle is not free | 12:38 |
| Sidewinder1 | lalagirl, What Ben64 said. | 12:38 |
| Ben64 | 10.04 is solid as a rock | 12:39 |
| Gentoo64 | lalagirl, i would use 12.04 in a vm | 12:39 |
| Gentoo64 | but not proper pc | 12:39 |
| Seveas | darkowlzz, dunno, oracle is not really supported by the community but by oracle. So I'd ask them | 12:39 |
| Gentoo64 | unless you wana test it, not use it properly | 12:39 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, I had the same problem with 11.10 Unity. I ended up installing GNOME Shell just because it kept crashing. | 12:39 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, I didn't upgrade to 12.04 though. lol | 12:39 |
| iceroot | Seveas: darkowlzz imo ubuntu is not a supported plattform from oracle | 12:39 |
| Seveas | cypher-neo, I went for 12.04 instead :) | 12:39 |
| Seveas | iceroot, hmm, that may be true. | 12:39 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, My first issue with 12.04 was that the Alpha image wouldn't fit on a CD. lol | 12:40 |
| Ben64 | I don't like any of the desktop choices now :( | 12:40 |
| iceroot | darkowlzz: but why you need oracle? mostly its an overkill for common tasks | 12:40 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, It was 20Mb too big | 12:40 |
| Gentoo64 | cypher-neo, afaik its supposed to be liek that now | 12:40 |
| darkowlzz | iceroot, any emulator for Oracle | 12:40 |
| Gentoo64 | you need a dvd even for the cd | 12:40 |
| Seveas | cypher-neo, heh, I just upgraded :) | 12:40 |
| iceroot | darkowlzz: ask oracle we dont support that here | 12:40 |
| cypher-neo | Gentoo64, Well, i don | 12:41 |
| Seveas | and I install from usb anyway these days. | 12:41 |
| MonkeyDust | yes | 12:41 |
| lalagirl | it says it has 301 updates to install… holy cow pancakes batman mobile how long will that take? is it necessary? | 12:41 |
| n3rV3 | Gentoo64, or use unetbootin and make pen drive bootable | 12:41 |
| Gentoo64 | n3rV3, yeah ofc | 12:41 |
| Seveas | lalagirl, not too long. Most updates are small | 12:41 |
| Gentoo64 | but in terms of actual discs :) | 12:41 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: it is necessary for the latest security updates and bug-fixes | 12:41 |
| cypher-neo | Gentoo64, Well, i don't mind as long as they put enough packages into 12.04 to FILL UP a DVD. I don't want to waste a DVD on an image that is just slightly larger than a CD. | 12:41 |
| n3rV3 | yes u r right | 12:41 |
| lalagirl | i'm guessing ubuntu has a lot of bugs? | 12:41 |
| MonkeyDust | lalagirl that's what i said, modifications take longer | 12:41 |
| cypher-neo | Gentoo64, Though i suppose I could just put it on a flash drive. | 12:42 |
| Gentoo64 | cypher-neo, they should still have cd and dvd versions, "cd" is just more minimal | 12:42 |
| cypher-neo | lalagirl, Depends on which version you are using | 12:42 |
| iceroot | lalagirl: not more then other systems | 12:42 |
| manners | hey guys whats the best upnp server to use in ubuntu | 12:42 |
| Ben64 | lalagirl: there are a lot of updates, not all are bugfixes | 12:42 |
| Seveas | lalagirl, software is made of bugs. Be it windows, mac or ubuntu. It's bugs all the way down :) | 12:42 |
| darkowlzz | has anyone tried running Oracle using Wine? | 12:42 |
| iceroot | manners: ushare - lightweight UPnP A/V Media Server | 12:42 |
| Seveas | manners, I use mediatomb for my dlna needs | 12:42 |
| Ben64 | i used mediatomb as well | 12:42 |
| haylo | if they fill up a dvd then it will be a really heavy iso | 12:42 |
| oCean | darkowlzz: that would be even more silly. Please use #oracle channel for further support | 12:42 |
| cypher-neo | Gentoo64, That's what I figure too. The CD version just needs a little more time to be culled, and become CD-compatiable. | 12:43 |
| iceroot | darkowlzz: again, why you need oracle? | 12:43 |
| Gentoo64 | cypher-neo, it used to be, they must have changed it | 12:43 |
| manners | is there a gui for ushare in ubunti like in luci | 12:43 |
| lalagirl | okay i decided to install all 301 updates… hopefully Ubuntu doesn't crash like last time | 12:43 |
| cypher-neo | haylo, They have DVD versions which do fill up a DVD. Mostly just language packs though... for the Ubuntu world traveler. | 12:43 |
| manners | its for xbox360 so dlna isnt an issue | 12:43 |
| lalagirl | i don't even know why i'm helping her install Ubuntu in the first place…. | 12:43 |
| iceroot | manners: maybe have a look at "xbmc" | 12:44 |
| manners | isnt that a complete os | 12:44 |
| iceroot | manners: no | 12:44 |
| iceroot | manners: its just a media-solution for ubuntu | 12:44 |
| manners | hmm ok ill have a look around | 12:44 |
| iceroot | manners: a normal program | 12:44 |
| haylo | ah yeah, well i like it that ubuntu has stayed under 1gig mostly | 12:44 |
| stephenh | what are we talking about? | 12:44 |
| stephenh | i saw dlna, looks interesting | 12:44 |
| stephenh | :) | 12:45 |
| darkowlzz | iceroot, it's part of my college syllabus :( | 12:45 |
| Seveas | stephenh, about how short this year is | 12:45 |
| * stephenh is looking for media server that does transcoding too... | 12:45 | |
| Seveas | stephenh, mediatomb | 12:45 |
| darkowlzz | what is better, mysql or Oracle? | 12:45 |
| stephenh | found mediatomb, but haven't installed it yet | 12:45 |
| baaaac | happy new year... | 12:45 |
| Seveas | !better | darkowlzz | 12:45 |
| ubottu | darkowlzz: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 12:45 |
| iceroot | darkowlzz: you cant compare mysql and oracle | 12:45 |
| stephenh | Seveas: cool.. also a bit null and void atm as i bought an apple tv and put xbmc on it | 12:45 |
| atvr | i have installed ubuntu 11.10 alternative with a cd on my laptop, now im trying to boot into the installation but my screen just dosnt work when ubuntu boot, so i would probably need to put the command nomodeset but how can i put it to be able to boot my ubuntu | 12:46 |
| iceroot | darkowlzz: but if you just need a sql database use mysql or postgresql | 12:46 |
| haylo | whats the risk of running without doing the updates say 11.04 or 10.04 or 12.04 maybe after it is revised? | 12:46 |
| stephenh | but was still curious what i could use to transcode to other dlna devices | 12:46 |
| darkowlzz | iceroot, Seveas , thanks :D | 12:46 |
| iceroot | haylo: no security updates | 12:46 |
| Seveas | haylo, you'll be vulmerable to security bugs | 12:46 |
| iceroot | darkowlzz: sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 12:46 |
| atvr | i have installed ubuntu 11.10 alternative with a cd on my laptop, now im trying to boot into the installation but my screen just dosnt work when ubuntu boot, so i would probably need to put the command nomodeset but how can i put it to be able to boot my ubuntu | 12:46 |
| haylo | i have done install this way- ah security mostly then i see | 12:46 |
| stephenh | atvr: just keep repeating yourself, sure to get an answer.... | 12:46 |
| darkowlzz | iceroot, thanks, but I know mysql very well :D | 12:47 |
| iceroot | !nox | atvr | 12:47 |
| ubottu | atvr: 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 | 12:47 |
| iceroot | atvr: thats the method how to put kernel parameters | 12:47 |
| iceroot | !nomodeset | 12:47 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 12:47 |
| iceroot | atvr: see above | 12:47 |
| === nW44b is now known as girobot | ||
| atvr | iceroot: i have already seen that, in wich form do i have to put nomodeset the command that i have here is looking like that linux..... quiet splash vt.handoff=7 | 12:48 |
| lalagirl | hiiiiii I'm back sorry for the inconvenience | 12:48 |
| iceroot | atvr: the text about "nox" is showing you how | 12:49 |
| shadaloo | you are not in the kitchen? | 12:49 |
| * shadaloo looks confused | 12:49 | |
| iceroot | atvr: also the forum link will show it | 12:49 |
| iceroot | shadaloo: stop that!! | 12:49 |
| lalagirl | shadaloo who? | 12:49 |
| shadaloo | lalagirl: just playing :p | 12:50 |
| devid19 | devid19 saluta tutti | 12:50 |
| Seveas | shadaloo, I suggest you play nicely. Or I'll send *you* to the kitchen. To cook you in the oven. | 12:50 |
| Seveas | hello devid19 | 12:50 |
| shadaloo | Seveas: watch it nazi | 12:51 |

| bullgard4 | I have attached an electronic device to my LAN. I can access it through its Web interface. How can I access it through Nautilus? I know the IP address of the electronic device. '~$ mount' does not list this electronic device. | 12:51 |
| === girobot is now known as nW44b | ||
| loicdu81 | Bonjour | 12:51 |
| Seveas | bullgard4, try this in nautilus: smb://ip.addresss.here | 12:51 |
| Seveas | hello loicdu81 | 12:52 |
| MonkeyDust | bullgard4 can you ping the device, if yes, try ssh | 12:52 |
| Gentoo64 | loicdu81, #ubuntu-fr is for french | 12:52 |
| loicdu81 | yes | 12:52 |
| wildc4rd | I am about to install Debian on my main PC, but want to keep this old Ubuntu install, as there is so much stuff on here, can I just plug this HDD into an older hardware setup? | 12:53 |
| sanku | i find that Ubuntu desktop 11.10 install on my Samsung Satellite bringing up the wireless icon top left ( with or without turning on a red light that the machine has ) -- but debian 6.0.3 server and ubuntu 11.03 server are unable to show wireless. How to tweak files to enable ? | 12:53 |
| Seveas | wildc4rd, yeah, that usually works | 12:53 |
| Gentoo64 | wildc4rd, should be able to | 12:53 |
| Gentoo64 | wildc4rd, id look out for gpu drivers though | 12:53 |
| wildc4rd | ideal, cheers (yes, it will have the same brand of GPU) | 12:54 |
| atvr | iceroot: i just dont found how to make it work, i am new to linux and i would really apreciat if you would help resolving this issue | 12:54 |
| cypher-neo | sanku, You know i had the same problem on my Satellite Pro. There is a method which I refer to as "kickstarting the modem" which seemed to work 100% of the time for me. | 12:56 |
| bullgard4 | Seveas: '~$ ping 192.168.178.33; 7 packets transmitted, 7 received, 0% packet loss, time 5998ms.' -- But why do I obtain '~$ smb://192.168.178.33; bash: smb://192.168.178.33: No such file or directory'? | 12:56 |
| sanku | So i have this desktop Ubuntu 11.10 installed on the Samsung Satellite, and connecting to the Internet. Is there a way to upgrade to server install ( from Ubuntu, Debian or other sites, ) ? | 12:56 |
| Seveas | bullgard4, I said in nautilus, not in bash :) | 12:57 |
| Seveas | sanku, server install is not an "upgrade", it's the same but without gui | 12:57 |
| sanku | cyher-neo: " kickstarting the mode " turns on wireless ? | 12:57 |
| n3rV3 | bullgard4, not on the bash prompt you have to type it in the Nautilus window. One which lists all your folders and files | 12:57 |
| cypher-neo | sanku, You'll need to have an ethernet cable and have the computer connected to the router via a hardline for this to work. Turn the modem on (red light on) then enable the proprietary drivers. Restart the computer and then disable the proprietary drivers (you really don't need them). Then restart the computer, and as it is restarting disconnect the ethernet cable. | 12:57 |
| cypher-neo | sanku, I do not know why, but it always seems to kick the modem and make it work! | 12:58 |
| maxagaz | is it possible to use the apple super drive on any pc under ubuntu ? | 12:58 |
| yeehaw | I smell a dirty hack :P | 12:58 |
| Ben64 | maxagaz: probably. is it just a hard drive? | 12:58 |
| sanku | Seveas, ah, that is what i see, no gui -- was amaze a server would not have one. Thanx | 12:59 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz I believe so | 12:59 |
| maxagaz | Ben64: no, it's a cd-rom drive | 12:59 |
| lalagirl | Ben64 it's a CD/DVD drive | 12:59 |
| Ben64 | oh | 12:59 |
| cypher-neo | sanku, Oh, wait!! Server? | 12:59 |
| n3rV3 | yeehaw, what are you talking about? | 12:59 |
| Ben64 | usb connected... probably | 12:59 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz yes, you can use it | 12:59 |
| maxagaz | I'm not sure it works actually | 12:59 |
| maxagaz | lalagirl: how ? | 12:59 |
| Seveas | maxagaz, I believe it should work. If nobody knows, try googling :) | 12:59 |
| yeehaw | n3rV3: About Cypher-neo's trick | 12:59 |
| maxagaz | I tried... | 12:59 |
| cypher-neo | sanku, I've never done that on a server before! | 12:59 |
| maxagaz | I found nothing | 12:59 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz just connect it... | 12:59 |
| Ben64 | yeah it should "just work" on ubuntu | 13:00 |
| maxagaz | Ben64: it should but it doesn't | 13:00 |
| Ben64 | have you connected it? | 13:00 |
| cypher-neo | yeehaw, Dirty tricks sometimes work. I only discovered it because... let me think... 8.04 suggested I enable proprietary drivers (and when that didn't work) I disabled them. | 13:00 |
| n3rV3 | yeehaw, oh ok | 13:00 |
| cypher-neo | yeehaw, And all of the sudden it worked!! | 13:00 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz i think you have to install it | 13:00 |
| atvr | i need help setting nomodeset in grub2 please help me i am new to this and i cant find info about that | 13:01 |
| maxagaz | lalagirl: what do you mean ? | 13:01 |
| Seveas | cypher-neo, that smells like the proprietary driver is setting some flags in the hardware that persist. Ugly. | 13:01 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz wait it says that it should be able to work without installation | 13:01 |
| n3rV3 | yeah i had issues with one gbe card on ubuntu once | 13:01 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz when you connect it, it doesnt do anything, you have to put a disc inside | 13:02 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, It's been fixed since 10.10 AFAIK... | 13:02 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, I haven't had to do anything like that recently at least. | 13:02 |
| sanku | So now i have a server with NO gui or wireless connect, and a desktop with a sweet gui and wireless connect -- two machines -- wondering how to make the desktop ( with gui ) become server, and the server (without gui ) to have one ? | 13:02 |
| Seveas | sanku, to install a gui: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 13:02 |
| Jmgjamj | Hi | 13:02 |
| lalagirl | Jmgjamj hi | 13:03 |
| sanku | Hi Jmgjam | 13:03 |
| owenll1 | atvr: Have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 | 13:03 |
| Seveas | to become a server: install whichever service it should perform, like apache, vsftpd or exom | 13:03 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, Can you install a desktop on a server and preserve all the server functions? | 13:03 |
| bullgard4 | Seveas: My apologies. -- Nautilus lists 5 Directory names of that electronic device: admin, music, photo, public, video. But no Size, Data Modified or Owner of them. What is the reason for these missing data displayed? | 13:03 |
| Seveas | cypher-neo, of course. There's no difference between a server and a desktop when it comes to 'server functionality'. All you need are the correct packages. | 13:03 |
| manners | anyone tried tvmobili | 13:03 |
| n3rV3 | cypher-neo, yes definitely, performance would be hit though | 13:03 |
| atvr | owenll1: yes but i just dont understand | 13:04 |
| Seveas | bullgard4, click the button that makes it display this | 13:04 |
| sanku | Seveas: So, for a server, where are these packages hiding, say OpenSSH, LAMP, mail that i can then download, install somehow onto my desktop config ? | 13:05 |
| Romance | ok i think i just crashed my ubuntu :) | 13:05 |
| Seveas | sanku, sudo apt-get install openssh-server apache2 exim mysql php-mysql | 13:05 |
| maxagaz | lalagirl: the disc doesn't go inside, it's not powered on when I plug it | 13:06 |
| cypher-neo | n3rV3, I haven't worked much with servers. My last server attempt was with, uhhh... 8.10, or 9.04 and it failed miserably because i wasn't used to the server interface. | 13:06 |
| Seveas | cypher-neo, the terminal is your friend. Learn to love it :) | 13:06 |
| sanku | Saveas, true, if i had the dvd's. But i have to do this over the internet. Even discover pkg names, that you reeled off. i have only the ONE install dvd. | 13:07 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, I love the terminal!! In fact, I learned to love it more after my fail-server. | 13:07 |
| atvr | owenll: can you help me please | 13:07 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz okay here is the solution, reboot with the superdrive plugged in | 13:07 |

| cypher-neo | n3rV3, Been there. That's practically all I use now. | 13:08 |

| atvr | almoxarife: are you there my friend :) | 13:09 |
| sanku | Saveas, yes, may be i can use ' https://torrent.ubuntu.com ' which i see on the top of my screen on this channel -- and download those other dvd's. Thanx for the ideas. | 13:09 |
| Seveas | atvr, in /etc/default/grub on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line after quiet splash | 13:09 |

| lalagirl | maxagaz what version of ubuntu are you using? | 13:10 |
| atvr | where do i put the nomodeset in ``linux.......... quiet splash vt . handsoff=7`` | 13:10 |
| almoxarife | atvr: put it on the end of the line | 13:10 |
| maxagaz | lalagirl: but still no power, the cd doesn't go inside the driver | 13:10 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz can you repeat that, i didn't get the message if you sent any | 13:10 |
| atvr | Seveas: i cant get into ubuntu, im stuck in the grub2 | 13:10 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz what version of ubuntu are you using currently? | 13:10 |
| Seveas | atvr, do you see grub's menu? | 13:10 |
| maxagaz | lalagirl: 11.10 | 13:10 |
| atvr | almoxarife: do i have to put a space between the 7 and the nomodeset | 13:11 |
| bullgard4 | Seveas: I have pressed the button »Browse all local and remote disks and folders accessible from this computer." Nautilus changed the »Location:« display content to »smb://nas.server« but again lists the 5 directories of this device without Size, Data Modified and Owner data. | 13:11 |
| atvr | Seveas: yes i am, and im a the command line i have to edit | 13:11 |
| almoxarife | atvr: I would | 13:11 |
| atvr | Seveas: but i just dont know what to do | 13:11 |
| Seveas | atvr, ah ok. Then yes, at the end with a space after 7 | 13:11 |
| atvr | ok im trying that | 13:11 |
| Seveas | bullgard4, try opening one of those folders. Do the details of files within them appear? | 13:12 |
| bullgard4 | Seveas: Yes, they do. | 13:13 |
| * lalagirl maxagaz okay let me look this up | 13:13 | |
| lalagirl | maxagaz let me look this up | 13:13 |
| bullgard4 | Seveas: But the owner is not displayed. | 13:13 |
| lalagirl | what just happened? it was a message? | 13:13 |
| atvr | Seveas: its not working, now i am stuck at a black screen with white text and the last line says * cheking battery state... | 13:14 |
| maxagaz | lalagirl: okay | 13:14 |
| bullgard4 | Seveas: The owner is displayed as »unknown«. | 13:14 |
| Seveas | bullgard4, that's because samba shares have no concept of 'owner' | 13:14 |
| Seveas | atvr, then 'nomodeset' wasn't enough | 13:15 |
| bullgard4 | Seveas: Thank you for explaining. | 13:15 |
| atvr | Seveas: so what should i put | 13:15 |
| atvr | Seveas: my video card is a amd radeon | 13:15 |
| MonkeyDust | Seveas is that because windows has no owner concept? | 13:15 |
| Seveas | MonkeyDust, it does. but afaik the smb/cifs protocol does not. | 13:16 |
| Seveas | and fat32 also doesn't | 13:16 |
| atvr | Seveas: do you think you can help me :) this is really anoying since ive pass all the night tryind to make it work | 13:17 |
| bullgard4 | MonkeyDust: I can ping the electronic device. But '~$ ssh 192.168.178.33; ssh: connect to host 192.168.178.33 port 22: Connection refused'. What should I do? | 13:17 |

| rtr- | hi, i want to see all messages while booting, so i changed grub boot parameters to nosplash noquiet, but after that it shows another ubuntu screen (the one with the loading dots under ubuntu) which i have exit using escape. what is this? how is this screen called? | 13:18 |
| lalagirl | akira_ hi | 13:18 |
| Seveas | atvr, I don't think I can. Haven't worked with radeon cards for years. | 13:18 |
| atvr | okay | 13:18 |
| akira_ | Hi. lalagirl. | 13:18 |
| maxagaz | lalagirl: it works fine on a macbook | 13:18 |
| Seveas | rtr-, that's probably plymouth. | 13:19 |
| almoxarife | wince-pim? | 13:19 |
| rtr- | thanks Seveas | 13:19 |
| atvr | almoxarife: do you think you could help me please, the nomodeset dosnt work my video card is a amd radeon ive pass all the night triyng to make it work | 13:19 |
| MonkeyDust | bullgard4 it seems to be a port 22 issue, it's for ssh | 13:19 |
| atvr | does anyone know how to edit grub2 to make a amd radeon video card work | 13:20 |
| n3rV3 | atvr have you tried booting into the failsafe mode? | 13:21 |

| lalagirl | maxagaz i'm not sure, sorry… i tried searching on the internet …. couldn't really find a problem with superdrive | 13:21 |
| atvr | n3rV3: no and i dont know how to do it, i am new to ubuntu | 13:22 |
| bullgard4 | MonkeyDust: Can I use lsof -i to further analyze the problem? | 13:22 |
| MonkeyDust | bullgard4 i guess you need to install openssh-server and/or openssh-client | 13:22 |
| atvr | n3rV3: can you explan me how to | 13:22 |
| atvr | n3rV3: is this the same as recovery mode | 13:23 |
| n3rV3 | atvr, yes it is | 13:23 |
| atvr | n3rV3: i am now at the recovery menu as those option, resume, fsck, remount and root | 13:24 |
| atvr | n3rV3: what is the option i have to choose | 13:25 |
| bullgard4 | MonkeyDust: On my Ubuntu computer the packages openssh-client and openssh-server are installed and have been functional in the past. | 13:25 |
| n3rV3 | atvr, don't remember exactly but there should be an option to boot into failsafe mode | 13:26 |

| almoxarife | atvr: when you are ready to burn a cd with the iso we discussed then I can help | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | bullgard4 next thing on my mind: delete existing ssh-keys in ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 13:29 |
| bullgard4 | MonkeyDust: I don't think that your advice will help with the present problem. | 13:30 |
| atvr | almoxarife: i have installed the way you said, i have burn the cd wich was not the same setup as the usb one, and now the installation has finish and it reboot, but the screen just not work | 13:30 |

| atvr | almoxarife: the installation whent perfecly but after i reboot, the screen dosnt work | 13:34 |

| n3rV3 | atvr, this will take you to gui but then you will have to install drivers for you card | 13:36 |

| atvr | n3rV3: i dont see that option, maybe its fsck | 13:37 |
| BioNetbook_ | i have an ircbot running on my homeserver (10.04) | 13:37 |
| lalagirl | maxagaz there is no led on the superdrive | 13:37 |
| BioNetbook_ | i cannot ctcp with it because i keep getting connection refused | 13:37 |
| atvr | the description is check all file systems | 13:37 |
| oCean | bullgard4: aha. If you install "nmap" on your ubuntu machine, you can also use that to check which ports are open/listening on a remote machine/device (just a tip) | 13:37 |
| BioNetbook_ | is there something other than iptables that could be blocking it? | 13:37 |
| n3rV3 | atvr, its there on my system, which version of ubuntu are you using | 13:37 |

| Darael | So I've got a machine here which has two DVD drives, but neither of them appear to work and I don't have a blank CD anyway. Problem is, my bootable USB stick doesn't work: I can select it first in BIOS, or from the one-time boot menu, but I just get a screen with the text "Boot error", and if I hit enter it loads from the first hard disk. Any ideas? | 13:38 |
| bullgard4 | oCean: '~$ : nmap -sP 192.168.178.0/24' does list my electronic device "nas-server", its IP address and that it is up. How should I modify this command in order to check which ports are open/listening on the remote device? | 13:41 |

| n3rV3 | atvr, its there on my system 11.04 dunno why its missing on your system | 13:42 |
| atvr | n3rV3: i just googleiit to see and i think there is no failsafex on 11.10 | 13:43 |
| Navin | I have a gfx card with dvi and vga output, | 13:43 |
| Navin | the ubuntu boots and then turns my monitor on VGA off | 13:43 |
| Navin | and I dont habve a dvi monitor to fix it | 13:43 |
| anddam | hello | 13:43 |
| Navin | any tips on how to get around this ? | 13:44 |
| n3rV3 | atvr, yes found the links it seems they removed it from 11.10 | 13:44 |
| paul_ | multitouch hp 2470p - pen ok - fingers doesn"t work any suggestions | 13:45 |
| atvr | n3rV3: yup | 13:45 |
| bullgard4 | oCean: '~$ : nmap nas-server' does not list port 22 but the ftp port 21 for tcp open. -- If I remember well the command nmap can determine the operating system of the remote electronic device. Is that right? | 13:45 |
| Navin | any one can help with how can I boot in text mode from the grub menu so that I can reconfigure the Xorg file ? | 13:46 |
| nick30 | bullgard4: it can guess | 13:46 |
| anddam | how can I give an user permissions to only install software from Ubuntu Software Center? | 13:46 |
| bullgard4 | nick30: What options should I append to nmap in order to do the estimation? | 13:47 |
| Navin | anddam: Do you want to limit the sources of installation ? | 13:47 |
| anddam | nope | 13:47 |
| oCean | bullgard4: sudo nmap -O host | 13:47 |
| Navin | anddam: then ? | 13:47 |
| atvr | n3rV3: does that look safe to do http://askubuntu.com/questions/68245/ubuntu-hits-a-black-screen-after-boot | 13:48 |
| anddam | Navin: I'd like to just let the user install software without providing him superuser permissions to do other things | 13:48 |
| oCean | bullgard4: anyway, usually those NAS devices have admin interfaces to dis/enable services such as ssh server | 13:48 |
| anddam | Navin: this is actually a nine years old boy for whom I created a regular user on edubuntu | 13:49 |
| n3rV3 | atvr, well these steps are just to delete the files and create links for them | 13:49 |
| Navin | anddam: hmm.. I would not know a way directly to do that. | 13:50 |
| n3rV3 | atvr, but wait don't run them yet | 13:50 |
| anddam | Navin: I thought something like a sudoers rule | 13:50 |
| atvr | n3rV3: okay | 13:50 |

| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 13:55 |

| iceroot | atvr: edit the grubline and put "nomodeset" on that, thats all | 13:56 |

| iceroot | !nox | atvr (this is an example how to edit that line) | 13:56 |
| ubottu | atvr (this is an example how to edit that line): 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 | 13:56 |

| yeehaw | atvr: Can't you press escape when it turns purple? You might get a prompt | 14:00 |
| dr_willis | Or try the 'text' kernel option in the grub menus | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | if you can get to the console. you may be able to get the ati drivers installed. | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | that would basically be the same as the recovery mode shell method. | 14:02 |

| atvr | dr_willis: it do nothing | 14:03 |
| n3rV3 | atvr, use shift i think that will work | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | its shift for grub2 these days. if its hidden. | 14:04 |
| atvr | n3rV3: shift at the purple screen or when booting | 14:04 |
| n3rV3 | atvr, when booting | 14:04 |
| dr_willis | tap the shift key like a spastic woodpecker as it boots. :) | 14:04 |
| n3rV3 | just after the bios screen | 14:04 |
| n3rV3 | hehe | 14:05 |
| dr_willis | first thing i always do is make grub NOT auto hide.. | 14:05 |
| dr_willis | such an annoying default. | 14:05 |
| atvr | n3rV3: it bring me too the grub2 menu | 14:05 |

| atvr | wich i can edit command beford booting | 14:05 |

| BluesKaj | dr_willis, neurotic? , maybe they just want just a fast boot :) | 14:07 |
| n3rV3 | no 'a' to append extra options to kernel entry | 14:08 |
| dr_willis | BluesKaj: i doubt if they are gaining much.. a whole 2 sec? woopiee.. and we spend hours in here monthly explaining to people they need to tap the shift key.. at LEAST they could do is make it show a message 'hit some key for grub options' or have it be ANY key. :) | 14:08 |

| mytardis | -rwxr-xr-x 1 chris chris 4405800 2011-08-03 18:31 crayon | 14:13 |
| sirajperson | is anyone else here having stability problems with ubuntu? I mean this darn thing is so slow. | 14:13 |
| dr_willis | BluesKaj: the issue is from a tech support point of view.. its just another layer we have to explain/peel back to fix things | 14:13 |
| RedCoffe | hallo | 14:13 |
| sirajperson | Ever since they switched to unity it just seems to be going down hill | 14:14 |
| RedCoffe | german irc? | 14:14 |
| Adrian_ | anybody good with ssd installaion | 14:14 |
| mytardis | strange ./crayon found with TAB, however crayon is not? | 14:14 |
| RedCoffe | ist das der german hier xd | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | #ubuntu-de , RedCoffe | 14:14 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: It's the same as normal, why? | 14:14 |
| sirajperson | imo unity just plain stinks. | 14:14 |
| atvr | dr_willis: do you know how to help me | 14:15 |
| sirajperson | and when you install gnome3 the whole os seems to get less stable. | 14:15 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: Only to save space you might want to put the /home partition on a harddrive | 14:15 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw: cant recognize the disk size or format!! Only thing I can think of is to try and preformat the ssd to ext4 in win 7 | 14:15 |
| sirajperson | It has been a pain trying find a whole new distro. | 14:15 |
| sirajperson | I tried kebuntu... fail | 14:15 |
| sirajperson | kubuntu*** | 14:16 |
| dr_willis | atvr: i dont have the boot menus memorized any more. there should be some revovery/failsafe mode in the grub menu to get you to a shell. | 14:16 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: You could try that with the ubuntu livecd with the program gparted. Is ahci on in the bios? | 14:16 |
| dr_willis | atvr: onve you get to a shell. you can try fixing things | 14:16 |
| sirajperson | so, after that I tried linux mint | 14:16 |
| oCean | sirajperson: did you join here to just rant, or do you have an actual question? | 14:16 |
| atvr | dr_willis: in the recovery menu i have the option root wich drop to root shell prompt | 14:17 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw: have been trying to do that but have not had any luck yet, gparted cant help tried live boot and in windows. don't think I have ahci capability. this is a new build and I neglected to check that detail, don't want to put an old disk in either if I can avoid it. | 14:17 |
| dr_willis | atvr: so now you can try to fix things.. but i forget the original issue. | 14:17 |
| bazhang | !mintsupport | sirajperson | 14:17 |
| ubottu | sirajperson: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 14:17 |
| atvr | dr_willis: i dont know how to fix it lol, my issu is im having a black screen after grub, the screen isnt working | 14:18 |
| dr_willis | atvr: so - you havent even tried the 'nomodeset' option? | 14:18 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: hmm.. I don't really know then. My ssd was just supported like a normal harddrive | 14:18 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw: all data is on a nas so have 90gb force for dual boot os win7 and thought I might play with new ubuntu distro as haven't dual booted for a while and looks good. | 14:19 |
| atvr | dr_willis: yes ive tryed that in the editing grub, but it didnt work or maybe ive not do it corectly | 14:19 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: What happens if you shrink the windows partition in Windows? Then you'll have unused space where you might be able to install Ubuntu | 14:19 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw: have 35gb raw waiting but ubuntu wont play ball. I assume ahci would be mentioned in mb spec or manual and it isn't? | 14:20 |
| freenodiz | Hi,when changing the hostname ,i insert echo "plato" > /etc/hostname AND hostname -F /etc/hostname . I don't understand what hostname -F is actually doing.what means tht second command i have to enter hostname -F ? | 14:20 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: You can't find it in bios either? | 14:20 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: It's mostly called sata mode: ide or ahci | 14:20 |
| dr_willis | atvr: last i checked the !nomodeset url gave screenshots. or you could edit the /etc/default/grub file and change where it says 'quiet splash' to read 'nomodeset noquiet nosplash' (to turn off other things that may be hiding error messages) Then rerun 'update-grub' and reboot.. might get it going. | 14:21 |
| freenodiz | what this code is doing? hostname -F /etc/hostname | 14:21 |
| _ikke_ | I'm trying the ubuntu liveusb on a laptop, but it doesn't see the wireless adapter (not in ifconfig, not in lspci, not in dmesg). But I can't seem to find the model of the wireless adapter (it's a realtek). Anyone a clue how I can enable it? | 14:21 |
| Adrian_ | as soon as I'm off irc I will reboot and check but just checked the gigabyte site and documentation and no mention only raid! | 14:21 |
| gurrot72 | hmm.. i played with irssi and autlog on and off and loglevels.. now it wont log again.. any idea whats wrong? | 14:21 |
| === bart__ is now known as Autie | ||
| dr_willis | _ikke_: could be the wireless switch has it off, so its not seen | 14:22 |
| yeehaw | freenodiz: hostname -F /etc/hostname reads the hostname from /etc/hostname | 14:22 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: It does not seem to respond (the orange light is not going on when I switch it) | 14:22 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: And no message in dmesg | 14:22 |
| freenodiz | yeehaw,wht do you mean with "reads"? | 14:22 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: Note that the light was on when I booted | 14:23 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: Ok, what type of mb do you have? | 14:23 |
| sirajperson | Adrian_: so you are trying to install on your 35gb hd but you can't? | 14:23 |
| dr_willis | _ikke_: on some systems - ive had to turn on wireless in windows.. then reboot to linux. and make sure to NEVER turn it off via the switch. | 14:23 |
| freenodiz | yeehaw,is it executing somenthing?or is just confirming the hostname? | 14:23 |
| yeehaw | freenodiz: it reads the hostname from that file and then sets it | 14:23 |
| atvr | dr_willis: i dont know to make those change in a terminal but if i edit in the grub2 will it be good | 14:23 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: It was turned on in windows | 14:23 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw: no set windows with 60gb and planned to use remaining 30gb for ubuntu. | 14:24 |
| dr_willis | atvr: sudo nano /etc/default/grub use ctrl-SOMTHING (says at the bottom) to save | 14:24 |
| xgt001 | where can i get some unity themes? | 14:24 |
| freenodiz | ahh,so it sets it :)...tha'ts what i wanted to know.to "echo" writes that file,then -F comes to read the file and set it in the system,ok | 14:24 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: you're adressing the wrong guy, but what kind of motherboard do you have? | 14:24 |
| sirajperson | xgt001: there just aren't a lot of them out there | 14:25 |
| yeehaw | freenodiz: Btw, you could have done man hostname on the command line and found it in about 10 secs ;-) | 14:25 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw: mb is gigabyte m68mt-s2p, sorry sirajperson. | 14:25 |
| Adrian_ | sirajperson: 90gb corsair force 60gb win 7 and remaining 30gb meant for ubuntu. | 14:25 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: Looks like your motherboard uses a special NVIDIA driver for ahci | 14:26 |
| xgt001 | sirajperson, exactly, i am stuck with ambiance :( | 14:26 |
| === marco__ is now known as Roybetty | ||
| Adrian_ | yeehaw:so maybe not a total loss, I might just reboot quickly, nice thing about this ssd is it is so quick, will be back shortly, thanks yeehaw. | 14:27 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: Don't know if that's the problem btw | 14:27 |
| dr_willis | _ikke_: im out of ideas then | 14:27 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: Weird, the switch doesn't even seem to do anything in windows | 14:27 |
| freenodiz | yeehaw,thanks a lot ;) .it seems well documented :) | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | atvr, after editing in nano , ctl+o to save , then enter, then ctrl+x to save and exit | 14:27 |
| freenodiz | yeehaw ++ | 14:27 |
| sirajperson | xgt001: after realizing how little customization I could do with unity i switched to gnome3 | 14:28 |
| yeehaw | freenodiz: Almost every command in Linux, but some manpages are not really readable for human pages | 14:28 |
| yeehaw | freenodiz: -pages | 14:28 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw:as far as I have googled it seems to be my most likely issue. if it is or isn't issue can I partition the drive to ext4 in win, do you think it might help? | 14:28 |
| yeehaw | Well, I don't think Windows is able to do this. But some third party tool might] | 14:28 |
| xgt001 | sirajperson, no there is more customisation in unity actually, gnome needs lots of extensions though | 14:28 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: It's the realtek8187B | 14:28 |
| Adrian_ | That was my last hope, be back shortly hopefully with ahci enabled. | 14:29 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: good luck | 14:29 |
| dr_willis | _ikke_: means little to me. You could check the forums and askubuntu.com about that specific chipset. | 14:29 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw:thanks again | 14:29 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: Right, I found a ubunti wiki about it | 14:29 |
| slymico | I need a pdf guide for or other reference for ubuntu server administration | 14:31 |
| dr_willis | slymico: thats a very very broad topic. | 14:31 |
| dr_willis | !server | 14:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 14:31 |
| slymico | ok but I need config a server for multihosting | 14:32 |
| atvr | dr_willis: i am lost XD i dont find what youve said | 14:32 |
| slymico | it is my specific requirement | 14:32 |
| yeehaw | slymico: You mean like a shared hosting platform with multiple websites running next to each other? | 14:33 |
| slymico | I need create three hosting in my ubuntu server each one have a different domain | 14:34 |
| yeehaw | slymico: You can just do that with a normal apache install | 14:34 |
| yeehaw | !apache | 14:34 |
| timposey | can anyone explain to me why a system would not show the grub screen? | 14:34 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 14:34 |
| freenodiz | yeehaw,how can i exit from man hostname information page? | 14:34 |
| yeehaw | freenodiz: q | 14:34 |
| theadmin | freenodiz: q | 14:34 |
| slymico | yes, I Know it | 14:34 |
| freenodiz | ok | 14:34 |
| yeehaw | slymico: Then what's you question? | 14:34 |
| slymico | I have 3 vistual host but is not working | 14:34 |
| yeehaw | Ok, could you paste one in pastebin? | 14:35 |
| slymico | how I configure the visrtual host and link the domain | 14:35 |
| atvr | dr_willis: when i am trying to save, it says error writing read-only file system | 14:36 |
| slymico | yeehaw: It's clear? | 14:36 |
| dr_willis | atvr: in /etc/default/grub the line (similer to this one) GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noquiet nosplash nomodeset nofb " | 14:36 |
| yeehaw | slymico: You point the A-record of the domain to the ipadress of your server. Then in the vhost-conf you set the domain to a specific folder | 14:36 |
| timposey | I need to get into recovery mode but my grub splash screen is not showing no matter what I do, I have searched the web but see nothing any answers? | 14:36 |
| yeehaw | slymico: COuld you give me a vhostconfig in pastebin? | 14:36 |
| dr_willis | there might have been some 'remount in rw mode' item at the start of the recovery menus. | 14:36 |
| slymico | yeehaw: I'm using webmin | 14:36 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: Would there be a difference between a Live USB boot and a real installation? | 14:36 |
| BluesKaj | atvr, use sudo nano to edit with permissions | 14:37 |
| dr_willis | _ikke_: the live cd might do hw detection a little differntly. | 14:37 |
| _ikke_ | ok | 14:37 |
| yeehaw | slymico: err.. I have no experience in that. I work at an isp, where we do everthing manually :P | 14:37 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: lsusb does show the adapter | 14:37 |
| Dina | hello, when was the last time ubuntu had released updates? i haven't seen any for 16days in update-manager | 14:37 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: dmesg says: rtl8187 switch is on | 14:38 |
| _ikke_ | dr_willis: Ah, it does seem to be on now | 14:38 |
| yeehaw | Dina: What happens if you type the following in the command line: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:38 |
| yeehaw | Dina: Any errors in that output? | 14:38 |
| Dina | nope | 14:39 |
| Dina | it downloads normally some translations, packages etc | 14:39 |
| yeehaw | Dina: What version of ubuntu are you running? | 14:39 |
| Dina | 11.10 | 14:39 |
| === Adrian is now known as Guest58655 | ||
| yeehaw | Dina: hmm.. I don't know the release schedule, but I would'nt worry to much | 14:40 |
| === Guest58655 is now known as Adrian_ | ||
| Adrian_ | Adrian_NH | 14:40 |
| Dina | well yeehaw it's weird i haven't seen any security update for 16days :/ | 14:40 |
| yeehaw | Dina: apt-get update checks the repositorys for updated packages. If it gives no errors, the repositorys are online for you. Does it give any output at all? | 14:41 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw: no joy it seems nothing in bios menu mentions ahci? anybody have any solutions? | 14:41 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: You could try putting the bios back to optimized defaults. There's a very tiny change that might work. | 14:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Dina it seems to me, you're worrying because all is ok | 14:42 |
| yeehaw | Adrian_: Dina: gtg, sorry | 14:43 |
| Dina | okay :) ty for help | 14:43 |
| Adrian_ | yeehaw: thanks | 14:43 |
| Dina | MonkeyDust: im not worrying that much, it's just weird | 14:44 |
| atvr | dr_willis: okay, so here it is lol i have made all the change you want me too, then i have updated the grub then i have rebooted and i have still the same issu | 14:44 |
| Dina | i was expecting a firefox9 in updates too :p | 14:44 |
| slymico | I need a book for ubuntu server configuration | 14:44 |
| atvr | dr_willis: but now i dont have the purple screen, it just go streat to the black one | 14:44 |
| dr_willis | atvr: no text messages or errors mentioned? no shell login: prompt? | 14:45 |
| atvr | dr_willis: no | 14:46 |
| timposey | changed my root/admin password, is there anyway to get back into the system? I can't sudo anything, so I can't change the way the system is working. /etc/default/grub.txt has GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" which I could use, but can't change because I don't have sudo access. anyone with answers would be greatly appreciated. | 14:46 |
| atvr | atvr: it seems like it get into ubuntu but with no screen | 14:46 |
| MonkeyDust | timposey try booting a live cd and change the password from there | 14:46 |
| dr_willis | !password | 14:46 |
| ubottu | Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 14:46 |
| atvr | dr_willis: maybe the screen resolution is not right | 14:46 |
| theadmin | timposey: Append "init=/bin/bash" to your kernel line via the grub menu while booting. | 14:46 |
| dr_willis | atvr: could be. hard to tell. nomodeset works for my problem machines | 14:46 |
| theadmin | timposey: Then "mount -o remount,rw / && passwd somebody && sync && mount -o remount,ro / && reboot -f" | 14:47 |
| atvr | dr_willis: do you know how to put the nomodeset in the edit grub2 menu | 14:47 |
| dr_willis | atvr: thats what we were doing.... making nomdoeset the default | 14:47 |
| timposey | theadmin are you saying by using the live cd? because otherwise I don't have grub menu | 14:48 |
| dr_willis | atvr: in /etc/default/grub the line (similer to this one) GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noquiet nosplash nomodeset nofb " | 14:48 |
| theadmin | timposey: You need to hold Shift while grub is loading to get into it | 14:48 |
| dr_willis | sets nomodeset and turns of other potential problem settings | 14:48 |
| === angel is now known as Guest84008 | ||
| atvr | dr_willis: i know but when im in grub menu i can press ``e`` to edit comand before booting then i have this line ``linux.....noquiet nosplash nomodeset nofb`` | 14:49 |
| timposey | theadmin, MondeyDust: ok, let me try that thanks for the help! | 14:49 |
| raven | any cmd tool to delete rw-disks? | 14:50 |
| dr_willis | atvr: if you just wanted to get to the text console very time GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noquiet nosplash nomodeset nofb text" editing the grub menu via 'e' sets it for one time booting.. the /etc/default/grub file sets it permenetly | 14:50 |
| atvr | dr_willis: oke but i have made it like you said with the /etc/default/grub file | 14:51 |
| dr_willis | atvr: if nomodeset dosetn help. im out of ideas. you could try installing the drivers for whatever card you have via 'jockey-text' or apt-get if you know the package name | 14:51 |
| atvr | dr_willis: never mind i think i will be installing windows again | 14:52 |
| dr_willis | atvr: you said you had a guide on it.. im just going from basic trouble shooting stuff. | 14:52 |
| Metroshica | dr_willis whats the issue youre having exactly? | 14:53 |
| dr_willis | Metroshica: not me.. atvr . | 14:53 |
| atvr | dr_willis: i know but i dont know what to do now, i would like to have ubuntu but it just dont work | 14:53 |
| timposey | theadmin: Holding down the shift key does not give me the grub screen | 14:53 |
| MonkeyDust | atvr what part of ubuntu doesnt work? | 14:54 |
| atvr | Metroshica: my issu is when ubuntu boot, my screen is going black | 14:54 |
| theadmin | timposey: Which Ubuntu version are you running? Are you holding down left or right shift? (has to be left one iirc) | 14:54 |
| MonkeyDust | atvr before or after the grub screen? | 14:54 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: i cant get into ubuntu after the grub, my screen is going black | 14:54 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: after | 14:54 |
| MonkeyDust | so it's a gui issue | 14:55 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: what that, and can you help me solving this | 14:55 |
| rkokkelk | atvr: do you see a little underscore blinking? | 14:55 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: i am new to linux | 14:55 |
| MonkeyDust | atvr can you boot a live cd? | 14:55 |
| timposey | theadmin I was using the left shift, 10.04 | 14:55 |
| atvr | rkokkelk: yes and after that the screen is completly black like its shut off | 14:56 |
| theadmin | timposey: Hmmm 10.04, I don't remember if that had grub2 yet... Try with Escape | 14:56 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: yes i have one | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | grub2 = tap the shift key | 14:56 |
| rkokkelk | atvr: if the underscore is blinking it means it cannot boot the partition it wants to boot, this is usually because the root or boot partitioning is not enabled with the boot flag | 14:57 |
| MonkeyDust | atvr have you tried choosing Recovery in the grub menu? | 14:57 |
| timposey | theadmin, ok, I'll be back in a minute | 14:57 |
| rkokkelk | atvr: if ubuntu is properly listed in grub, it probably not an grub error but an partitioning error | 14:58 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: yes and i have 4 option to choose | 14:58 |
| MonkeyDust | atvr choose Repair, see what happens | 14:59 |
| atvr | rkokkelk: even with a live cd i can only install the alternative iso, the only i can instal it with the normal one is to have nomodeset | 14:59 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: okay | 14:59 |
| === patrick is now known as patrick_ | ||
| atvr | MonkeyDust: i dont have repair option, i only have resume, fsck, remount and root | 15:00 |
| timposey | theadmin: escape did not work either | 15:00 |
| rkokkelk | atvr: but what kind of partitioning you use, do you use automatic or do you configure it yourself? | 15:01 |
| atvr | rkokkelk: ubuntu is the only os installed it used the whole hdd wich is 640gb | 15:02 |
| rkokkelk | atvr: but have you set the root or boot partitioning with the bootable flag? | 15:02 |
| auronandace | rkokkelk: sounds like a graphics issue, not a partition issue to me | 15:03 |
| auronandace | atvr: did you try dr_willis suggestions? | 15:03 |
| atvr | rkokkelk: no, when i have installed ubuntu i have just selected the hdd | 15:03 |
| wiredvamp | everytime i restart my comp i aways have to restart my xscreensaver because i get this waring " The GNOME screensaver daemon appears to be running it must be stoppedfor XScreenSaver to work properly. Stop the GNOME screen saver daemon now? " how can i unistall the GNOME screensaver? | 15:03 |
| MonkeyDust | atvr the first time installing ubuntu? | 15:03 |
| rkokkelk | auronandace: usually if it's an graphical issue you get some feedback, like error message or flashing screen, if he sees only an underscore blinking it means i cannot access the partitioning | 15:04 |
| atvr | dr_willis: now i am at a screen that tells me there is 4new packages ans 291packages that are going to be updated and i have to select yes or no | 15:04 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: yes | 15:04 |
| slakcphil | wiredvamp, try gnome-screensaver-command --exit | 15:04 |
| MonkeyDust | atvr choose yes, | 15:04 |
| auronandace | rkokkelk: he also said that to get the livecd working he needs to use nomodeset, which it sounds like he hasn't tried on his install | 15:04 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: okep | 15:04 |
| almoxarife | atvr: is ubuntu running on the hardrive or the usb? | 15:05 |
| atvr | almoxarife: on the hdd | 15:06 |
| wiredvamp | slakcphil: ok? what will that do? | 15:06 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: all update have been made now, and i have rebooted now im at a screen wich ask me my user name and password | 15:06 |
| MonkeyDust | atvr problem solved? | 15:07 |

| slakcphil | wiredvamp, man gnome-screensaver-command | 15:09 |
| atvr | what is the command to get the update | 15:09 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: | 15:09 |
| dr_willis | atvr: from a console you can do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' to install all updated. | 15:09 |

| insectatorious | guys, I did an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and then 9.10 to 10.04 via the alternate-CDs in each case. Now I get a black screen after the initial bios blurb. I have looked at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 and the nomodeset does not have any effect. | 15:09 |
| slakcphil | wiredvamp, my guess is that you cannot, maybe you could disable it however, | 15:10 |
| slakcphil | wiredvamp, on a side note, i want to write(in py) a screensaver that is like the one in jurassic park movie witht the fat guy(newman) waving his fingre saying ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic password | 15:11 |
| atvr | MonkeyDust: even if i have restarted i still have the console logging thing | 15:11 |
| wiredvamp | slakcphil: i was able to uninstall it b4 but i cant seem to find GNOME screensaver in the software center for some reason. | 15:12 |
| dr_willis | atvr: 'startx' should start a X session from the console - if its set up right. | 15:12 |
| atvr | dr_willis: it says server error | 15:13 |

| rkokkelk | n1co-nuX: what kind of script do you wanna create? | 15:21 |
| auronandace | bd7349: i've not installed via usb so i wouldn't know, but that link that ubottu gave you should tell you what you need to know | 15:21 |
| insectatorious | i realise the 'nomodeset' isn't terribly exciting but could someone help out? | 15:21 |
| n1c0-nuX | rkokkelk, Uuh, execute many commands by launching a simgle file | 15:22 |
| haylo | fat 32 and make it with unetbootin or Pendrive linux if you are in windows | 15:22 |
| pythonirc101 | I just did a do-release-upgrade. And now it asks me which hard drive it should install grub on : /dev/sda - /dev/sda1 or /dev/dm-0 -- any hints on what the right answer is? is it ok to install it on all 3? | 15:22 |
| pythonirc101 | I hope I've not killed my system already | 15:22 |
| haylo | sry not pendrive linus "universal usb creator" | 15:22 |
| rkokkelk | n1c0-nuX: okay on internet are a lot of tutorials about this, but very short, an script is an file that start with #!/bin/bash everything undernead this line are just normal command executed in the order they are listed in the file | 15:23 |
| jrwr | Python1320, your drive is sda just install grub there | 15:23 |
| haylo | universal usb creator is your best bet for going from windows to ubuntu with only a usb | 15:23 |
| auronandace | haylo: he is on a mac | 15:23 |
| n1c0-nuX | rkokkelk, ok and wich extention do I add to the file ? | 15:24 |
| haylo | ah you know macs are notorious for not working with usb: but unetbootin should be fully compatible for macs unix system | 15:24 |
| n1c0-nuX | (sry for my approximative english) | 15:24 |
| haylo | macs have trouble booting form usb i dont know why but i hear it all the time | 15:24 |
| rkokkelk | n1c0-nuX: the file doesn't need to have an extension, so it just need to be able to execute | 15:25 |
| rkokkelk | n1c0-nuX: you can do this with chmod +x FILE | 15:25 |
| haylo | i would make a normal dvd or cd and use that on the mac | 15:25 |
| auronandace | haylo: he left | 15:25 |
| haylo | oh lol sorry il shut up | 15:25 |
| n1c0-nuX | rkokkelk, thank you very much n_n | 15:25 |
| wiredvamp | does anyone happen to know how to uninstall the GNOME screensaver beings i have XScreenSaver installed? | 15:26 |
| rkokkelk | n1c0-nuX: no problem, but you can do a lot of cool stuff with scripts so just check the internet for all the posibilities ;) | 15:26 |

| === asd45tre8 is now known as dury | ||
| Seveas | haylo, the default ubuntu-to-ubuntu remote desktop is vnc | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | raven, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2005-January/017646.html | 15:32 |
| Seveas | but ubuntu has applications to support rdp or vnc+ssh as well | 15:32 |
| haylo | yeah i have gftp and openssh installed. i have a hard time moving directories with ssh though | 15:35 |
| pythonirc101 | anyone can help me with grub installs after do-release-upgrade. I do not want to brick my system. | 15:35 |
| haylo | i would like something my family could use safely to move files and directories around. or should i just use the ssh scp command if i want security? | 15:36 |
| syockit | pythonirc101: just in case, a liveCD or liveUSB would be handy. you'll never know when you'll brick it, so better safe than sorry. And it's possible to recover your system from liveCD/USB | 15:36 |
| pythonirc101 | If I install grub on /dev/sda, do I also have to install it in /dev/sda1? | 15:36 |
| Seveas | pythonirc101, no | 15:37 |
| pythonirc101 | syockit: I've 3 options: /dev/dm-0 /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda | 15:37 |
| pythonirc101 | so I just install it on /dev/sda? | 15:37 |

| pythonirc101 | says (33025MB tbuntu-root) /dev/dm-0 | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | raven, or install wodim and do , wodim dev=/dev/cdrom blank=fast | 15:38 |
| Seveas | timposey, you're chrooting into a partition with the wrong cpu architecture | 15:38 |
| Seveas | such as trying to chroot into a 64-bit ubuntu on a 32-bit kernel | 15:38 |
| pythonirc101 | k chose /dev/sda | 15:38 |
| timposey | seveas; ok that may be the problem I will burn the 3rd cd now... I can't remember what I have on this computer... | 15:39 |

| cypher-neo | slakcphil, LOL! | 16:27 |
| finish06 | be back in a moment. peace mates! | 16:27 |
| happynewyr | slakcphil: LOL | 16:27 |
| cypher-neo | slakcphil, Or any government at all! | 16:27 |
| slakcphil | :P | 16:28 |
| MonkeyDust | corruption is the glue for power :p | 16:28 |
| happynewyr | MonkeyDust: like xanthan gum :) | 16:28 |
| linuxearth | hi | 16:29 |
| linuxearth | how can i learn linux? | 16:29 |
| === fork is now known as Guest51882 | ||
| cypher-neo | linuxearth, Jump in. The waters great! | 16:29 |
| linuxearth | ok but how do i learn? | 16:30 |
| linuxearth | i have a single pc only, nothing for experiments | 16:30 |
| slakcphil | linuxearth, read the man pages for every command possible | 16:30 |
| linuxearth | should i learn commands? | 16:30 |
| linuxearth | or what? | 16:30 |
| eiriksvin | hi guys, I'm having alot of issues with my Netgear WNDA3100 USB Wifi on my amd64, I have tried a bunch of tuts on how to do it and searched blogs, can someone help me get this darn thing working... Ubuntu is NOT being nice | 16:30 |
| pangolin | !manual | linuxearth this should get you started with Ubuntu. | 16:30 |
| ubottu | linuxearth this should get you started with Ubuntu.: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 16:30 |
| MonkeyDust | linuxearth start here http://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/32474-a-windows-users-guide-to-linux.html | 16:30 |
| wildc4rd | chuck ubuntu on a box and play with it | 16:30 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:30 |
| cypher-neo | linuxearth, Learn Terminal commands, and shell scripting. | 16:30 |
| slakcphil | open a terminal, type man ls then press enter | 16:31 |
| linuxearth | thanks guys many links | 16:31 |
| kernelpanicker | I went to a bookstore with comptuer magazines, and grabbed a magazine that has a live Ubuntu CD on it, | 16:31 |
| BluesKaj | c'mon guys , the terminalogy isn't familiar to him | 16:31 |
| _ikke_ | How can I add / change an icon in the unity starter? I had a desktop icon to a wine program, but after I deleted it from the desktop, it got removed from the starter too. Now I only get the wine starter icon if I launch it from dash. | 16:31 |
| owenll | linuxearth: ask questions here and on the ubuntuforums, and read the ubuntu guides | 16:31 |
| slakcphil | man ls | 16:31 |
| kernelpanicker | then booted my computer from the live CD, choosing the 'Try Ubuntu' option | 16:31 |
| slakcphil | that's easy, then just read on how to ls a directory | 16:31 |
| BluesKaj | !linux | linuxearth | 16:31 |
| ubottu | linuxearth: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux | 16:31 |
| kernelpanicker | (this is if you don't have ubuntu installed on your computer) | 16:31 |
| linuxearth | pangolin: ty MonkeyDust: ty, owenll, cypher-neo: i just see many resources here | 16:31 |
| kernelpanicker | then go online and look up a little bash tutorial | 16:31 |
| cypher-neo | linuxearth, Also, every scripting language | 16:31 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: do you have linux installed? | 16:32 |
| cypher-neo | linuxearth, lol. Ignore that | 16:32 |
| linuxearth | scripting language? | 16:32 |
| cypher-neo | linuxearth, I mistyped. | 16:32 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:32 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: do you have linux running on a computer? | 16:32 |
| slakcphil | !gdm | linuxearth | 16:32 |
| linuxearth | i am right now chatting from an office pc having linux | 16:33 |
| linuxearth | at home i have windows vista | 16:33 |
| cypher-neo | An office PC? | 16:33 |
| slakcphil | <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm | 16:33 |
| linuxearth | yes | 16:33 |
| slakcphil | :P | 16:33 |
| cypher-neo | So you really can't make any changes to the programming, or the office will be pissed? | 16:33 |
| linuxearth | yes | 16:33 |
| slakcphil | !gnome | linuxearth | 16:33 |
| kernelpanicker | ok | 16:33 |
| ubottu | linuxearth: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 16:33 |
| linuxearth | just chating for 5-10 mins here | 16:33 |
| kernelpanicker | so, google 'learn bash' in a major search engine... | 16:34 |
| slakcphil | !kde | linuxearth | 16:34 |
| ubottu | linuxearth: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 16:34 |
| kernelpanicker | and look for a little tutorial | 16:34 |
| linuxearth | should i install at home ubuntu wiping out windows vista? | 16:34 |
| cypher-neo | In other words... you really can't do anything at the office. Go try to install Linux on your home computer and then experiment; for you, that will be the easiest way to learn. | 16:34 |
| slakcphil | !wubi | linuxearth | 16:34 |
| ubottu | linuxearth: 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 | 16:34 |
| kernelpanicker | open a tutorial, move around the directories from the commandline | 16:34 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: removing Vista and installing Ubuntu -> Great Idea | 16:34 |
| kernelpanicker | ubottu: I think he has linux installed | 16:34 |
| ubottu | kernelpanicker: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:34 |
| kernelpanicker | lol | 16:34 |
| kernelpanicker | got me | 16:35 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: will save you so much trouble and heartache | 16:35 |
| linuxearth | happynewyr: if i would get stuck in the middle i would lose both - ubuntu as well as vista? | 16:35 |
| happynewyr | Well, you can use the LiveCD and if you likeit, install Ubuntu | 16:35 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: or you can install it as a dual boot and then do away with Vista | 16:35 |
| linuxearth | live cd? that is to be downloaded then? from ubuntu website (I guess) | 16:36 |
| linuxearth | ok i should google | 16:36 |
| edbian | linuxearth, stuck in the middle? If you get stuck in the middle start installing ubuntu again | 16:36 |
| linuxearth | what's one was telling of wubi? | 16:36 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: you can download it. Do you know how to burn CD's from iso's on your system? | 16:36 |
| linuxearth | what's wubi? | 16:36 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:36 |
| slakcphil | !wubi | linuxearth | 16:36 |
| ubottu | linuxearth: 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 | 16:36 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:36 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: but the wubi approach is better | 16:36 |
| MonkeyDust | linuxearth forget wubi | 16:36 |
| edbian | linuxearth, You don't want wubi. It simplifies the install by making it a thing you install INSIDE windows. This has major technical limitiations | 16:37 |
| slakcphil | yeah wubi sux | 16:37 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:37 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: however... on occasion a windows system will be hosed by wubi | 16:37 |
| linuxearth | so i should download the cd? | 16:37 |
| edbian | linuxearth, wubi makes debugging problems later much harder | 16:37 |
| edbian | linuxearth, or the DVD | 16:37 |
| edbian | linuxearth, whatev | 16:37 |
| slakcphil | you are still depending on the windoze filesystem and bootloader | 16:37 |
| linuxearth | should i burn that with nero after downloading? | 16:37 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: download Ubuntu ISO from Ubuntu website, burn it on CD or thumb drive and restart. | 16:37 |
| edbian | linuxearth, you have to download an ISO burner too, there are instructions on the site | 16:37 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: I would probably go the CD route if you'd be ruined if you lost your window system | 16:37 |
| edbian | linuxearth, if nero can burn ISOs | 16:37 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: Nero would do the trick nicely | 16:37 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:38 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: but if it doesn't matter, use the wubi route | 16:38 |
| linuxearth | in vista nero is there | 16:38 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: I think learning about the CD's is a good way to go, anyway | 16:38 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: then you're covered.. download ISO, burn using Nero and restart | 16:38 |
| edbian | kernelpanicker, linuxearth I strongly suggest not doing wubi | 16:38 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: when u restart make sure the CD is in and you boot from CD | 16:38 |
| linuxearth | ok i start the download today, i guess (i don't know) that linux should be (?) better than vista? | 16:38 |
| eiriksvin | Can someone help me get my Netgear WNDA3100 working on my Ubuntu amd64 11.10? I have tried a bunch of tuts and searched blogs, but no go so far... | 16:38 |
| kernelpanicker | edbian, linuxearth, I'm in agreement | 16:38 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: I'd go the CD route | 16:38 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: start now. :) | 16:39 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:39 |
| happynewyr | just 700 MB should be quick | 16:39 |
| linuxearth | and from ubuntu.com | 16:39 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: yep | 16:39 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: try to connect to your router with an ethernet line when booting from the CD's | 16:39 |
| cypher-neo | linuxearth, One thing you could do from the office computer is make yourself a bootable USB drive. | 16:39 |
| linuxearth | usb? | 16:39 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: because sometimes linux has a hard time connecting to wireless routers initially | 16:39 |
| linuxearth | 2 gb usb? | 16:40 |
| slakcphil | dude, check out linux.org it looks like a ddos | 16:40 |
| edbian | linuxearth, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 16:40 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: you can make a bootable thumb drive (usb drive) instead of the CD | 16:40 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: but the CD is simpler, IMHO | 16:40 |
| spoq | dont panick... | 16:40 |
| linuxearth | i guess i should go for a simple cd | 16:40 |
| spoq | kernelpanicker is nearby! | 16:40 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: how nearby? | 16:40 |
| spoq | very! | 16:40 |
| linuxearth | ?? | 16:40 |
| kernelpanicker | oh lol | 16:40 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: yep, get the CD | 16:40 |
| slakcphil | well it says bandwidth limit, did their isp run out of minutes? | 16:41 |
| cypher-neo | linuxearth, Once you've downloaded the ISO from the website, if you have a spare 2Gb usb stick, pop it into the computer and open the Terminal. Type "usb-creator-gtk" and follow the onscreen instructions. It will transfer the disc image to a USB flash drive so it works like a startup disc. | 16:41 |
| happynewyr | cypher-neo: he's on WIndows... | 16:41 |
| slakcphil | The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later. | 16:41 |
| cypher-neo | happynewyr, He's on Ubuntu at the office | 16:41 |
| linuxearth | cypher-neo: i can try | 16:41 |
| slakcphil | linux.org ^^ | 16:41 |
| Dynamit | then linux.org apache server does what it should when to big traffic | 16:41 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: if you've doubts use the CD and Nero... | 16:42 |
| slakcphil | Dynamit, yeah? cool | 16:42 |
| linuxearth | which ubuntu i choose: 11.10 or 10.04 lts? at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 16:42 |
| cypher-neo | linuxearth, I find the USB drive nicer because it doesn't lock up your CD drive while you are previewing Ubuntu. | 16:42 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: if you have a spare computer, then you can talk to us on one while messing around with the CD on another | 16:42 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:42 |
| rohitjha | command to list all connected hardware | 16:42 |
| slakcphil | Dynamit, yeah looks like 2.1 mod_bwlimited | 16:42 |
| _ikke_ | How do I create a new unity launcher? | 16:42 |
| linuxearth | but i choose : 11.10 or 10.04 at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download to start the download? | 16:42 |
| Kiten | linuxearth, personally i prefer 10.04 lts | 16:42 |
| cypher-neo | linuxearth, 11.10 is the current version. 10.04 is a long term supported version. Both are stable and usable. | 16:43 |
| Dynamit | still it do what it should do | 16:43 |
| linuxearth | anyone? | 16:43 |
| owenll | rohitjha: lshw | 16:43 |
| Kiten | but you can use 11.10 if you want you can see the difference on ubuntu's site | 16:43 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: go with 10.04 | 16:43 |
| Dynamit | to protect it self | 16:43 |
| linuxearth | ok then 10.04 since longer support? | 16:43 |
| edbian | linuxearth, cypher-neo just answered you | 16:43 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:43 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: 10.04 is long term support... | 16:43 |
| linuxearth | i come back tomarrow after install from home pc? | 16:43 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: once you install and you like you can always try 11.10 | 16:44 |
| eiriksvin | Can someone help me get my Netgear WNDA3100 working on my Ubuntu amd64 11.10? I have tried a bunch of tuts and searched blogs, but no go so far... | 16:44 |
| edbian | linuxearth, what's going to take so long? come back in 40 min when it's done | 16:44 |
| linuxearth | nope but i have to install it in home pc | 16:44 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: also, it's amazing how a live ubuntu CD will suddenly resurrect an old assumed dead windows machine | 16:44 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: come back when or during your install if you need help | 16:44 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: people think the computer is dead, when of course it's just windows that's dead | 16:44 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:44 |
| Kiten | linuxearth, you can see what they look like on google images | 16:44 |
| slakcphil | linuxearth, i must say, if you want to learn "linux" you should get an old stable pentium 4 with know hardware and just play with distros that have fundamental differences. like centos/fedora suse debian/ubuntu slackware etc. | 16:44 |
| kernelpanicker | so you can get another computer for free | 16:44 |
| linuxearth | but i guess first, i should read the installation instructions also | 16:44 |
| slakcphil | known good hardware^^ | 16:44 |
| cypher-neo | eiriksvin, What's not working? | 16:44 |
| kernelpanicker | where I live, there are actually dozens of computers sitting at the city dump | 16:44 |
| MonkeyDust | kernelpanicker to most people, computer == windows | 16:45 |
| edbian | eiriksvin, googling | 16:45 |
| eiriksvin | I run Windows Wireless Drivers after installing correctly. A window comes up and I click Add new driver/device. I then choose the appropriate .inf file. Immidiately, a window appears showing "MODULE COULD NOT BE LOADED, ERROR: [BLANK]" | 16:45 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: which can be turned on, booted from a cd, have ubuntu installed, and voila | 16:45 |
| cypher-neo | kernelpanicker, Wish i had a dump like that!! | 16:45 |
| kernelpanicker | cypher-neo: yeah... they get mad when you grab one, though... | 16:45 |
| linuxearth | slakcphi: i have started the download of ubuntu only? you are saying for more other distros too? | 16:45 |
| slakcphil | linuxearth check out the differences in rc.d and init.d and all that good stuff | 16:45 |
| edbian | eiriksvin, what is the chipset of this card? | 16:45 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: start with Ubuntu | 16:45 |
| edbian | eiriksvin, I'll keep in mind that you tried to use ndiswrapper | 16:45 |
| linuxearth | what's rc.d? | 16:45 |
| kernelpanicker | cypher-neo: because they have some deal with a recycling company or something | 16:45 |
| eiriksvin | wnda3100v2 | 16:45 |
| happynewyr | once you settle down in it, you can explore the other distros | 16:46 |
| linuxearth | slakcphil: what's rc.d and what init.d? | 16:46 |
| kernelpanicker | cypher-neo: so you park next to it, dump some stuff, and pop an old dell or whatever into your car | 16:46 |
| slakcphil | linuxearth wikipedia and man pages are your friend | 16:46 |
| edbian | linuxearth, a folder containing scripts that run on the local machine at boot tie | 16:46 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:46 |
| cypher-neo | kernelpanicker, I would totally do that! | 16:46 |
| linuxearth | i have started the ubuntu download | 16:46 |
| edbian | linuxearth, init.d is a folder of other scripts that run at boot time | 16:46 |
| kernelpanicker | cypher-neo: the recycling companies get rare metals etc from the hard drive platters | 16:46 |

| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: yahoo | 16:46 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: just out of curioisity what is themachine you're installing this | 16:46 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:46 |
| edbian | linuxearth, why are you asking about this folders? | 16:46 |
| edbian | eiriksvin, ok hang on | 16:46 |
| slakcphil | edbian because i mentioned them | 16:47 |
| spoq | hi edbian, #debian is where you need to go. | 16:47 |
| edbian | slakcphil, oh :P | 16:47 |
| cypher-neo | eiriksvin, What's wrong with using the default Ubuntu network setup? | 16:47 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: some hardware can give you trouble :) Broadcom for instance | 16:47 |
| edbian | spoq, stop that! :P | 16:47 |
| spoq | :D | 16:47 |
| edbian | eiriksvin, sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 16:47 |
| linuxearth | would it detect the printer, i guess yes | 16:47 |
| happynewyr | may printers are auto detected and installed | 16:47 |
| happynewyr | *many | 16:47 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:48 |
| kernelpanicker | linuxearth: well, today you're starting linux, and today I'm starting java | 16:48 |
| linuxearth | ok | 16:48 |
| linuxearth | and today the year is ending!! | 16:48 |
| happynewyr | kernelpanicker: cool... Python would be an easier language to learn | 16:48 |
| eiriksvin | edbian trying it now | 16:48 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: in some places it already has ended | 16:48 |
| edbian | eiriksvin, are you sure about your device chipset? 4323 ? | 16:48 |
| slakcphil | linuxearth, i was just saying that most linux distros are diff from each other, but if you learn the redhat/centos/fedora and debian/ubuntu you will do well since the two have very diff ways of doing everything. | 16:48 |
| linuxearth | yes | 16:49 |

| linuxearth | ?? | 16:49 |
| slakcphil | linuxearth like where they put config files and such, but for the most part the same | 16:49 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: you're right, but have to do java for work | 16:49 |
| edbian | eiriksvin, oh wait, this is a USB device? | 16:49 |
| happynewyr | linuxearth: Ubuntu is your best transition linux | 16:49 |
| eiriksvin | yeah | 16:50 |
| slakcphil | linuxearth definately, it has the best community | 16:50 |
| edbian | eiriksvin, this site says that device isn't supported yet: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 16:50 |
| happynewyr | kernelpanicker: Java is a pain... and I was among the first 200 java developers globally | 16:50 |
| eiriksvin | is that Linksys dual band supported? | 16:50 |
| edbian | eiriksvin, I have no idea? | 16:50 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: holy smokes | 16:50 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: first 200! | 16:50 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: wow | 16:51 |
| happynewyr | yep, way back in 1996 | 16:51 |
| happynewyr | when java was not yet 1.0 | 16:51 |
| MonkeyDust | when we was young and beautiful | 16:51 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: well, I was learning lisp, but it's got to be java for now for work | 16:51 |
| kernelpanicker | I am middle aged and partially beautiful | 16:52 |
| happynewyr | kernelpanicker: Java is good from an Object Oriented Language perspective | 16:52 |
| happynewyr | kernelpanicker: partially? | 16:52 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: yes, I have no qualms learning it | 16:52 |
| spoq | do you still use the original linux? | 16:52 |
| mebigfatguy_ | (from the feet down) | 16:52 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: yes, my left elbow is still beautiful | 16:52 |
| happynewyr | kernelpanicker: it's just too complicated now | 16:52 |
| reloaded | hai Guys !! I have a Bandluxe usb sim modem , when I connect the modem in 11.10 It is automaticaly dectecting the SIM service and I can setup my plan in that ! But when I connected the modem in 10.04 it will not act as the 11.10 configuration How to get connect the modem in 10.04 | 16:53 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: yeah... I think that has something to do with why people make money with it... lol... fixing problems from the complexity | 16:53 |
| eiriksvin | grr ubuntu can be so frustrating sometimes, the top of the market is Netgear, why wouldn't they focus on getting support for what people are going to buy | 16:53 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: at any rate, there is no avoiding it for me now | 16:53 |
| happynewyr | kernelpanicker: Java is good for some stuff, but ppl use it for everything and that sucks | 16:53 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: yeah... my strategy is to try to learn as many languages as I can | 16:54 |
| happynewyr | kernelpanicker: and then Oracle comes along to screw with the Sun implementation | 16:54 |
| slakcphil | happynewyr, :P | 16:54 |

But when I connected the modem in 10.04 it will not act as the 11.10 configuration How to get connect the modem in 10.04 | 16:55 |

| LosFrijoles | is it considered bad practice for me to use the same ssh keys for both my laptop and desktop or should they have different keys? | 16:55 |
| anmar` | LosFrijoles: not really... just keep your private key private. | 16:55 |
| happynewyr | reloaded: maybe the driver is not in the 10.04 repos | 16:56 |
| kernelpanicker | happynewyr: looking at teh HaXe site | 16:56 |

| LosFrijoles | anmar`: i did it to make my computers look the same when logging in to my website so I just wanted to make sure that wasn't going to cause problems. thx | 16:56 |
| slakcphil | LosFrijoles, i think it is bad practice to use keys unless scripting, especially on portables like laptops and desktops | 16:56 |

| toad_bottle | while applying security upgrades via synpatic to my ubuntu 10.04, my computer froze and I had to do a forced shutdown. Now I cant boot at all. It always stops at the login screen with the message, "The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly". And I wouldn't even be able to move my mouse on the login prompt. keys wont work either. When I tried to get into recovery mode, it stops at Applyin | 17:11 |

| happynewyr | toad_bottle: that's a bad scene | 17:12 |
| toad_bottle | happynewyr: what do u recommend i do? | 17:12 |
| happynewyr | can you see if you can open a terminal? | 17:12 |
| shadhin | Happy new year frndz | 17:13 |

| zCoder | hi | 17:13 |
| MonkeyDust | toad_bottle i've had, too, i had to connect via ssh, backup and reinstall | 17:13 |
| zCoder | what does ../ ./ / mean? | 17:13 |
| zCoder | what represents what dir? | 17:13 |
| fubbi | ../ = one folder up | 17:13 |
| MonkeyDust | zCoder / is root, | 17:13 |
| happynewyr | ./ is current dir | 17:14 |
| joed_ | hello | 17:14 |
| toad_bottle | MonkeyDust: how can i connect via ssh if I cant' even boot ubuntu normally? | 17:14 |
| joed_ | can anyone help me with synergy? | 17:14 |
| zCoder | ? / root of the current dir or overall root? | 17:14 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: can you ping it? maybe it does boot but Gnome is dead | 17:14 |
| toad_bottle | would openssh be running | 17:14 |
| happynewyr | overall root is / | 17:14 |
| MonkeyDust | toad_bottle forgot to mention, i have more than 1 pc, did over the local network | 17:14 |
| zCoder | is there a referance to this on the net .. what would i look for | 17:15 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: if X is dying, then ssh would run | 17:15 |
| zCoder | dir structure isnt it | 17:15 |
| happynewyr | zCoder... that is the linux directory structure | 17:15 |
| joed_ | can anyone help with configuring synergy? | 17:15 |
| happynewyr | zCoder: it is different slightly from the way Windows does it | 17:15 |
| Sidewinder1 | zCoder, Usually root is in /.. | 17:15 |
| toad_bottle | ic | 17:15 |
| toad_bottle | so I should just boot my computer, then use another computer to ssh into it | 17:16 |
| zCoder | im actually asking more toward programming | 17:16 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: worth trying | 17:16 |
| zCoder | im in public_html in there it might be / considered root | 17:16 |
| MonkeyDust | toad_bottle try booting from a live cd or thumdrive, backup from there and reinstamm | 17:16 |
| MonkeyDust | ll | 17:16 |
| happynewyr | zCoder: / is the root of the system, Apache will have a different root | 17:17 |
| usuario | jnç | 17:17 |
| happynewyr | and Apache's root will be defined in the config file | 17:17 |
| owenll | toad_bottle: this is out there http://paste.ubuntu.com/788988/ | 17:17 |
| zCoder | right.. but apaches root will also be accessed by / | 17:17 |
| zCoder | because i dont have permissions to go further | 17:17 |
| Sidewinder1 | zCoder, When you say public, or /pub, that's usually associated with an FTP Server.. | 17:17 |
| usuario | becouse | 17:17 |
| toad_bottle | owenll: unfortunately, i tried booting into recovery mode, but it gets stuck halfway through | 17:17 |
| zCoder | alright so whats ./ and ../ ? | 17:18 |
| zCoder | again | 17:18 |
| owenll | toad_bottle: ok sorry :-/ | 17:19 |
| yumbo | zCoder, ./ is the current directory you're in | 17:19 |
| rumpe1 | zCoder, . = current folder, .. = previous folder | 17:19 |
| zCoder | hmm previous? | 17:19 |
| zCoder | you mean the one the current one resides in? | 17:20 |
| happynewyr | zCoder: parent | 17:20 |
| toad_bottle | no worries | 17:20 |
| zCoder | ahh | 17:20 |
| rumpe1 | zCoder, yes | 17:20 |
| zCoder | alright, thanks guys. | 17:20 |
| happynewyr | zCoder: take care | 17:20 |
| zCoder | bye | 17:21 |
| toad_bottle | i dont really have much files saved yet. mostly programs that are installed. Might just mount my filesystem and look at my bash_history to see what programs/dependencies/libraries i have to install and how i configured them. then do a clean install again | 17:22 |
| toad_bottle | if ssh from another machine doesnt work | 17:23 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: if you don't have much data to lose, then reinstall Ubuntu on a diff partition | 17:23 |
| toad_bottle | happynewyr: what not just reinstall it on the same partition? | 17:24 |
| toad_bottle | why* | 17:24 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: you can if you don't have any data/programs to lose | 17:24 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: if your mbr or grub is broken, then you could probably fix it | 17:25 |
| toad_bottle | how do i fix it? | 17:25 |
| toad_bottle | or how do i know whether its broken | 17:25 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: do you see the grub menu? | 17:26 |
| cypher-neo | Is there any reason why aptitude was removed from 11.10? | 17:26 |
| toad_bottle | 4 things | 17:26 |
| toad_bottle | normal, recovery, memory test, and another memory test | 17:26 |
| toad_bottle | and i can do ctrl-c to go to command line | 17:26 |
| happynewyr | cypher-neo: Canonical likes to mess with it's users' mind | 17:26 |
| toad_bottle | but the command line is not bash complete | 17:26 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: ok, so it was the first install | 17:26 |
| toad_bottle | its very limited | 17:27 |
| toad_bottle | yep | 17:27 |
| toad_bottle | its the first install | 17:27 |
| FloodBot1 | toad_bottle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:27 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: and if you don't have too much data, just go ahead and reinstall | 17:27 |
| cypher-neo | happynewyr, lol. I just reinstalled it, cause I modded my .bashrc file with an aptitude command, and I realized when I tried to run it that omfg, it's not installed! | 17:27 |
| happynewyr | on the same partition if you want to | 17:27 |
| toad_bottle | ok, i'll just reinstall it then :( | 17:27 |
| toad_bottle | thanks | 17:28 |
| cypher-neo | happynewyr, I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't break something else by installing it. | 17:28 |
| toad_bottle | for the tips | 17:28 |
| happynewyr | toad_bottle: you're welcome | 17:28 |
| happynewyr | cypher-neo: you can't break too much | 17:28 |
| happynewyr | cypher-neo: besides you learn when you break | 17:28 |
| happynewyr | :) | 17:28 |
| cypher-neo | happynewyr, You'd be surprised!! | 17:28 |
| cypher-neo | happynewyr, But, you're right, I do learn things when I break them. | 17:29 |
| happynewyr | cypher-neo: if I am even here and able to help people, it's because I've broken everything possible in my Ubuntu systems | 17:30 |
| cypher-neo | lolol! | 17:30 |
| happynewyr | cypher-neo: I've mucked about quite a bit... short of compiling my own kernel, i''ve done pretty much everything else | 17:30 |
| cypher-neo | happynewyr, Me too. I actually enjoy breaking things. It's only a pain in the butt when you break something and then have to back up 50+Gigs to make sure you don't lose anything. | 17:31 |
| Kiten | happynewyr, yeah same hear thats really the only thing i haven't done yet | 17:31 |
| happynewyr | yeah, I much about in my VMs quite a bit | 17:31 |
| Kiten | yeah i just muck around in arch in virtual box if i want to break something | 17:32 |
| happynewyr | virtual box? i prefer openvz | 17:32 |
| Kiten | i've never used openvz much less heard of it | 17:32 |
| Kiten | i just use virtual box because thats what i've always used | 17:33 |
| happynewyr | i've got a b*tch system running proxmox... | 17:33 |
| Kiten | oh and qemu | 17:33 |
| lordjj | Happy New Year's Ubuntu people | 17:33 |
| Kiten | happy new years | 17:33 |
| happynewyr | let me put it this way Kiten... openvz is not GUI based | 17:34 |
| happynewyr | :) | 17:34 |
| compdoc | virtualbox is best for running windows if you need to run it on your desktop, but I like qemu-kvm for servers | 17:34 |
| happynewyr | compdoc: proxmox is a very good barebones installer if you want to run a virtualized environment | 17:35 |
| Kiten | happynewyr, neither is qemu although gui's do exist for it | 17:35 |
| compdoc | happynewyr, I'll take your word for it | 17:35 |

| Akkan` | i just wanna remove | 17:37 |
| Akkan` | do you know the command or no ? | 17:37 |
| Kiten | well there isn't any real command but if you want to they are in /etc/ somewhere knock your self out | 17:38 |
| Kiten | just becareful deleting things in /etc/ | 17:38 |
| DrPenguin | arent logs in /var/log and not in /etc? | 17:38 |

| Kiten | wifi the ones in /etc/ mostly deal with wifi related junk | 17:39 |
| Seveas | Akkan`, logs live in /var/log, they can be removed with 'sudo rm filename.here'. Don't remove any directories, just files. | 17:39 |

| taylor | when i put my exe file into terminal and write wine behind it and everything and hit enter, 90 percent of the time it says it cannot find the exe file either know the pathway is correct. what can i do to fix this?? | 17:48 |
| spoq | tried running in root? | 17:48 |
| taylor | no, whats that? | 17:49 |
| DrPenguin | taylor: is the path wrong taylor? where is the exe in respect to your current directory | 17:49 |
| Seveas | taylor, you need to put 'wine ' *before* the path to the exe file. Wine is the thing you run, the exe file is an argument | 17:49 |
| === Santa_Claus is now known as NewYearsEve | ||
| taylor | yeah i know you get rid of the 's and put wine and a space | 17:49 |
| taylor | before | 17:49 |
| === NewYearsEve is now known as NewYearsDay | ||
| dury | it shows those lines when you open the Terminal or no, Seveas? | 17:49 |
| taylor | the file is exactly where it should be in the directory | 17:50 |
| DrPenguin | taylor: thats not what I asked | 17:50 |
| Seveas | taylor, and you also used correct capitalization? e.g. NOTEPAD.exe isn't the same as notepad.exe | 17:50 |
| taylor | didnt have to, i learned you can drag the .exe file into the terminal and it puts it there for you, i have installed quite a few programms this way, but half the time it cannot find the exe, which is why i am confused | 17:51 |
| taylor | im very new to ubuntu | 17:51 |
| DrPenguin | taylor: that really doesnt make sense.. dragging a file into terminal should complete its absolute path.. have you just tried to manually type in its absolute path? | 17:52 |
| Seveas | are you dragging it from the Desktop? | 17:52 |
| === spoq is now known as spao | ||
| windwhinny | if the exe file is in the current directory, try to put "./" before the filename, like "./notepad.exe" | 17:52 |
| taylor | let me try, and i have tried to drag it from the desk top and from the file were it is | 17:53 |
| Seveas | when it fails, make a screenshot that also shows the file that you dragged. That'll help is see what's going wrong. | 17:53 |

| Seveas | gmachine_24, correct, recover mode should let you do this without password | 18:00 |
| Seveas | crux00, how the hell did that happen? :) | 18:00 |
| jiohdi | what is the point of having a password if it is that easy to defeat? | 18:00 |
| zer0rez | my google-foo is failing, any links or info on how to install 11.10 onto a machine w/ a 4GB SSD(old eeePC 900a) | 18:00 |
| gmachine_24 | cypher-neo, I am listening | 18:01 |
| Seveas | jiohdi, this requires physical access to the machine. Physical access means you're screwed anyway | 18:01 |

| crux00 | Seavas: some video driver bug / something to do with hibernate, plus me starting the upgrade from a session that had resumed from hibernation ===> unfortunately timed kernel crash mid-upgrade. | 18:01 |
| Seveas | jiohdi, also, this doesn't decrypt encrypted homedirs. Those are gone for good | 18:01 |
| Seveas | crux00, can you run this for me and pastebin the output: dpkg -l | cat; dpkg --get-selections | 18:02 |
| jiohdi | Seveas, if you set them as encrypted right? | 18:02 |
| Seveas | jiohdi, correct | 18:02 |
| gmachine_24 | thanks for your help. I'll research resetting passwords..... HNY everyone | 18:02 |
| spao | hgkj | 18:03 |
| Seveas | spao, try english :) | 18:03 |
| MN-- | hey anyone know a channel to discuss computer components? | 18:03 |
| cypher-neo | gmachine_24, #1 - Boot from a Live CD. #2 - Mount the computer hard drive. When the Nautilus window pops up, close it. #3 - Open Terminal. Type "gksudo nautilus" #4 - Go to the mounted drive and find the /etc/ directory. #5 - Scroll past all the directories until you get to the shadow text file. Create a .bak of this file, just in case. #6 - Edit the shadow file in gedit. #7 - Scroll down to the username in question and replace | 18:03 |
| cypher-neo | the encrypted password with "U6aMy0wojraho" | 18:03 |
| crux00 | Seveas: here ya go! http://paste.ubuntu.com/789020/ | 18:03 |
| Seveas | cypher-neo, I've scripted that up in the past: https://raw.github.com/seveas/hacks/master/reset_passwords | 18:04 |
| DrPenguin | MN--: we arent a hub for you to find where to go.. but there should be a command your irc client can do to help you find it | 18:04 |
| cypher-neo | That will completely reset the password... and he left | 18:04 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, Grr! he says he's listening... so i start typing. And he leaves before I press Enter! | 18:04 |
| Seveas | crux00, ok, at least apt doesn't see them twice, must be an aptitude cache | 18:04 |
| edbian | MN--, #hardware | 18:05 |
| edbian | MN--, or you can just PM me | 18:05 |
| Seveas | crux00, try rm ~/.aptitude/cache | 18:05 |
| crux00 | Seveas: Aha, and that's an easy rm away. Much easier to fix than the whole stupid /var/run business. | 18:05 |
| Seveas | crux00, ah, /run vs /var/run, that's a nice snafu :) | 18:06 |
| edbian | Seveas, aptitude and apt-get cache are in /etc/apt/ ? | 18:06 |
| taylor | ok how do i show you the pics | 18:06 |
| Aliv3 | how update to 12.04 | 18:06 |
| MN-- | edbian thanks | 18:06 |
| Seveas | taylor, upload them to imagebin.com | 18:06 |
| taylor | ok | 18:06 |
| cypher-neo | Aliv3, Check out the topic in #ubuntu+1 | 18:06 |
| Aliv3 | ty | 18:06 |
| Seveas | edbian, aptitude has its own cache in ~/.aptitude. The general apt cache is in /var/cache/apt and /var/lib/apt | 18:06 |
| urlin2u | Aliv3, 12.04 is not released yet. | 18:06 |
| Seveas | oi LjL, your monkey quit | 18:07 |
| edbian | Seveas, ahh, yes | 18:07 |
| crux00 | Seveas: since you're being A+++ helpful would ask questions again -- aptitude is having another issue as well, namely that it wants to remove pretty much everything (libc6 and all deps) to deal with some conflict or another. Is there an easy way to get to the bottom of that one? | 18:07 |
| cypher-neo | crux00, I prefer using Ubuntu Tweak for things like that, imho. | 18:08 |
| Seveas | crux00, try apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade. If they complain, pastebin output | 18:08 |
| Seveas | cypher-neo, neh, his system is in a bit of a bodged state. Best to stick to low level tools :) | 18:08 |
| yumbo | crux00, when something wants libc6 removed you should be very careful (I actually got it removed once, couldnt execute any command anymore) | 18:08 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, Ahh, in that case, never mind what I said crux00 | 18:09 |
| crux00 | "a bit" -- hah. ;} Well, it's much better now, so maybe it qualifies as "a bit". | 18:09 |
| Seveas | yeah, you don't really want to remove libc6 | 18:09 |
| yumbo | crux00, what does "sudo apt-get install -f" give? | 18:09 |
| Seveas | crux00, can you also try these, just so I know your system is at least sorta healthy: dpkg --configure -a ; apt-get -f install | 18:09 |
| crux00 | Interestingly, aptitude still shows things twice; and one of the libc6 is marked "installed" and peachy; the *other* one it wants to nuke because of deps. Maybe it has another cache in /var somewhere? | 18:10 |
| Seveas | crux00, hmm, that does sound screwy | 18:11 |
| cypher-neo | crux00, Out of morbid curiousity, what are the deps on the nuke libc6? Are they the same as the clone libc6? | 18:11 |
| crux00 | Seveas: dpkg --configure -a looks to be a noop (I'd done a lot of --reconfigure upon the first few boots) | 18:12 |
| taylor | cool site, alright the pictures are up | 18:12 |
| crux00 | cypher-neo: Eyeballing it, they seem the same. | 18:12 |
| cypher-neo | Weird... | 18:13 |
| Seveas | crux00, /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates | 18:13 |
| crux00 | (also; apt-get -f install = 0 ) | 18:13 |
| riktking | hi i have issues with my SD card reader, it is not seeing an SD card | 18:13 |
| Seveas | and there's also /var/lib/dpkg/status, but that one seems ok | 18:13 |
| === spao is now known as smeagle | ||
| crux00 | Seveas: Maybe I should 'apt-get purge aptitude; apt-get install aptitude'... | 18:14 |
| === smeagle is now known as spao | ||
| cypher-neo | crux00, Be careful if it tries to purge other programs along with aptitude as deps! | 18:14 |
| Seveas | crux00, sed -n -e 's/^Package: //p' /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates | sort | uniq -c | grep -v '^ \+1 ' | 18:15 |
| crux00 | <--- mv /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates = things seem much happier. | 18:15 |
| taylor | just let me know when you have a chance | 18:15 |
| Seveas | if that monster gives no output the file is ok | 18:15 |
| Seveas | ah, you got rid of it already, fair enough :-0 | 18:15 |
| riktking | my laptop can see the reader, but no card in thereader | 18:15 |
| yumbo | 'apt-get purge aptitude; apt-get install aptitude'... | 18:15 |
| yumbo | that sound like a not-so-good idea | 18:15 |
| Seveas | I wouldn't purge aptitude, no | 18:15 |
| Seveas | taylor, can you give us a link to the picture? | 18:16 |
| crux00 | ;} So that's two votes against "nuke it from orbit" | 18:16 |
| taylor | yes sir | 18:16 |
| taylor | i put two, one before i pressed enter and one after | 18:16 |
| crux00 | Okie dokie | 18:16 |
| Seveas | then we need links to both :) | 18:16 |
| cypher-neo | crux00, I would cancel the nuke unless the enemy gets entrenched. ;} | 18:16 |
| === lori is now known as Guest55079 | ||
| yumbo | crux00, I have synaptic installed, it has a feature to display broken packages | 18:17 |
| yumbo | maybe worth a try | 18:17 |
| Seveas | yumbo, that'll be useless if the problem is aptitude ;) | 18:17 |
| taylor | wont let me paste | 18:17 |
| crux00 | <--- aptitude *might* be the sole issue. | 18:17 |
| yumbo | Seveas, ah | 18:18 |
| Guest55079 | on chrome where the clear history and cookies | 18:18 |
| crux00 | Removed /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstatus .... First run: aptitude is happy. After an update and/or a restart of aptitude: Everything shows up twice, and it wants to delete the world again. | 18:18 |
| Seveas | taylor, alternatively just e-mail me the pictures: dennis@ubuntu.com | 18:18 |

| Guest55079 | ty yumbo | 18:19 |
| crux00 | Confirmed: it's updating that introduces every package a 2nd time and makes aptitude think there's conflicts everywhere. | 18:19 |
| Seveas | crux00, can you run this one: sed -n -e 's/^Package: //p' /var/lib/dpkg/status | sort | uniq -c | grep -v '^ \+1 ' | 18:19 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, This is a dirty hack, but if removing /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstatus is a solution, we could mod his .bashrc file so it's done automatically every time he loads CLI. | 18:20 |
| Seveas | that'll check for duplicates in /var/lib/pkg/status | 18:20 |
| Seveas | cypher-neo, eww no, let's fix the actual problem instead | 18:20 |
| crux00 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/789032/ <--- looks like lots of 'em | 18:20 |
| taylor | im havein issues with my email at the moment, it thinks im not me:( | 18:20 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, Fixing the actual problem is definitely preferred! I'm just saying... | 18:20 |
| Seveas | crux00, ok, that's a problem | 18:20 |
| cypher-neo | Seveas, Also, I'm a bit giddy for running my first .bashrc hack. | 18:21 |
| Seveas | hehe | 18:21 |
| yumbo | crux00, which ubuntu version? | 18:21 |

| crux00 | yumbo: Nominally, 11.10. ;) But there was a nice hard crash halfway through installing. | 18:21 |

| yumbo | linux_noob, http://www.blender.org/ | 18:22 |
| crux00 | Yumbo: amd64 | 18:22 |
| taylor | blender is beast | 18:22 |
| yumbo | crux00, http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/aptitude/aptitude_0.6.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb | 18:23 |
| yumbo | you can download that and install it using dpkg | 18:23 |
| yumbo | maybe it helps | 18:23 |
| linux_noob | tnx yumbo ur the best... | 18:23 |
| crux00 | yumbo: It might, but it looks like the problem is deeper than aptitude | 18:24 |
| Seveas | crux00, ok, there are a few options. But first of all make a backup of /var/lib/dpkg/status | 18:25 |
| yumbo | crux00, it can't do much harm | 18:25 |
| Seveas | once you've done that, run this: apt-get install moreutils | 18:25 |
| taylor | cant paste the link and cant send through email cuz my email is jacked up, they are right there on the site though | 18:25 |
| Seveas | (oh, and I'm going to assume you run all this as root :)) | 18:25 |
| Seveas | crux00, when moreutils is installed (and only then), run this: dpkg --get-selections | sponge | dpkg --set-selections | 18:26 |
| Seveas | then run that last sed command again | 18:26 |
| phoenix_firebrd | happy newyear to all | 18:26 |

| Seveas | crux00, ok, looks like I need to prod at multiarch a bit too, that's lacking in my knowledge :) | 18:37 |
| Oer | crux00, maybe that is the reason aptitude was removed from 11.10 ? | 18:38 |
| crux00 | Seveas: Indeed... Looking at that bug, I might actually be just fine, albiet with a severely confused/unusable aptitude. | 18:38 |

| cypher-neo | crux00, That's a little dramatic... especially considering I just installed aptitude 20 minutes ago. | 18:40 |
| Seveas | cypher-neo, but you're probably not using a multi-arch system | 18:40 |
| crux00 | cypher-neo: I dunno, it wants to remove libc. ;} | 18:40 |

| Oer | !minimal | DashleShy | 18:40 |
| ubottu | DashleShy: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

| DashleShy | Not really on ubuntu right now, but I'll keep that in mind. | 18:40 |
| DashleShy | That's it, it might have been the alternate CD I used. | 18:41 |
| DashleShy | Keep in mind I do not want to live session it, as if to perform like a normal hard drive installation. | 18:41 |

| dr_willis | taylor_: i would have to say the path is incorrect in some way or another. cd to the directory where the exe is at and do wine ./foo.exe to verify the path is not an issue | 18:52 |
| fuho | Also Ubuntu Softweare center wont load. | 18:52 |
| taylor_ | http://imagebin.org/index.php | 18:52 |
| taylor_ | its taylor in the top right corner | 18:53 |
| taylor_ | have a before and after | 18:53 |
| DrPenguin | taylor_: dude, you covered up half the terminal line with your stupid window | 18:53 |
| taylor_ | no i didnt "dude" it continues where you see it | 18:53 |
| Seveas | hmm, imagebin doesn't load for me | 18:54 |
| SudoFox | Hey, does anyone know if the persistence layer gets installed when you install Ubuntu? | 18:54 |
| overclucker | taylor_: I thought that dragndrop would do it for you, but try wrapping that in ' ' | 18:54 |
| Seveas | SudoFox, persistence layer? | 18:54 |
| DrPenguin | taylor_: yeah, did you ever try manually typing in the path? | 18:54 |
| taylor_ | ok i was told to delete those but ill give it a try | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | SudoFox: if you do a normal install.. no. | 18:54 |
| taylor_ | no | 18:54 |
| akpk | issue with installing php-pear | 18:54 |
| DrPenguin | do it then? | 18:55 |
| taylor_ | i figured it would be the same so i didnt think to | 18:55 |
| Solved | What would the command be to open a text box (like an error message) that had a personalized message in it? | 18:55 |
| overclucker | taylor_: another optio nis to excape all those darned spaces like: '\ ' | 18:55 |
| DrPenguin | Solved: there should be something cute thats included with X.. I think dialog is one? | 18:56 |
| Seveas | Solved, zenity | 18:56 |
| Solved | Seveas: like, zenity hello | 18:56 |
| Solved | ? | 18:56 |
| fuho | Ok I got another question: when creating partition for /boot a / (except for /home) how big do you make them? I made 5GB for boot but it seems like waste | 18:57 |
| bastidrazor | taylor_: you have to escape those spaces. | 18:57 |
| Seveas | zenity --error --text "Oops, I did it again" | 18:57 |
| fuho | adn 50GB for / without /home | 18:57 |
| Seveas | Solved, for more info, try: zenity --help | 18:57 |
| dr_willis | fuho: depends on what you do with /boot/ use of /boot is optional these days. | 18:57 |
| taylor_ | which spaces | 18:57 |
| DrPenguin | taylor_: in the file name | 18:57 |
| dr_willis | fuho: i got /boot several gb in size beause i keep a few ISO files in it that grub2 can boot. 1gb should be plenty for most people | 18:57 |
| dr_willis | Spaces in file names can be really... annoying. :) | 18:58 |
| taylor_ | and tried typing in manually same thing happened, then wrapped in 's and it said invalid handle | 18:58 |
| fuho | dr_willis: I just wanted to make sure I will always be able to boot | 18:58 |
| bastidrazor | taylor_: 18\ wos\.. etc | 18:58 |
| dr_willis | fuho: thats not a guarentee :) most people seem to manage to mess up the grub mbr. not files in /boot/ | 18:58 |
| === Binary1010 is now known as yx | ||
| taylor_ | oh ok, let me see | 18:58 |
| === yx is now known as matrixiumn | ||
| fuho | dr_willis: In case I went over the top with logs or something :) | 18:58 |
| taylor_ | nope, still did not work, it just doenst make sense to me, im not sure what im doing | 19:00 |
| Solved | Seveas: What option would you use if you wanted one that was very similar to the error message, except without the error symbol | 19:00 |
| fuho | And 50GBs for / should be enough right? I will have an extra partition just for home | 19:00 |
| SudoFox | (repeats). Hey, does anyone know if the persistence layer gets installed when you install Ubuntu? | 19:00 |
| overclucker | taylor_: type out the path to use here | 19:00 |
| fuho | Is there a way to reinitialize Dash home? Mine doesnt show programs... | 19:01 |
| taylor | home/brandon/.miro/movies/18woset2 | 19:01 |
| bastidrazor | taylor that isn't what i told you to do. | 19:01 |
| DrPenguin | taylor: thats not a correct path | 19:01 |
| overclucker | taylor_: the full original path that dragndrop gave you | 19:02 |
| Seveas | Solved, --info | 19:02 |
| DrPenguin | it should be wine /home/brandom/.miro/movies/18\ wos\ et2/18\ Wheels\ of\ Steel\ Extreme\ Trucker\ 2_setup_.exe | 19:02 |
| overclucker | What surprises me is that drag'n drop isn't wrapping it in single quotes | 19:03 |
| DrPenguin | overclucker: that surprises me too.. there must be something wrong with his shell | 19:03 |
| taylor | other file got deleted so i am giveing you the path it gave me when i drag and drop the backup i made | 19:05 |
| taylor_ | '/home/brandon/.miro/Movies/18 Wheels of Steel Extreme Trucker 2_setup_/bin/win_x86/extremetrucker.exe' | 19:05 |
| DrPenguin | taylor: well you would ned to tell us that wouldnt you? | 19:06 |
| Solved | Seveas: THanks a ton, workks perfect | 19:06 |
| taylor | i just did, that just now happened | 19:06 |
| taylor | thats why it took me so long to get the path on here | 19:06 |

| Swamoy | Happy New Year.... | 19:07 |
| doritoDan | Anyone? | 19:08 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: I highly doubt it.. Safari is junk anyway | 19:08 |
| doritoDan | Why is Safari junk | 19:08 |
| DrPenguin | its just slow, id put it slightly better than Firefox. go with chromium | 19:09 |
| doritoDan | In my opinion, Safari renders webkit effects and behaviors better than most browsers. | 19:09 |
| doritoDan | Is there no Safari counterpart for Ubuntu at all? | 19:10 |
| doritoDan | Also, why should I go with Chromium instead of Chrome? | 19:10 |
| BluesKaj | DrPenguin, chromium is fine on small monitors , just don't try it on a large monitor from 10ft/3M away...the fonts on the tabs are too small to read for starters | 19:10 |
| === Plinker__ is now known as Plinker | ||

| ubottu | akpk: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:11 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: you can adjust that | 19:11 |
| BluesKaj | chromium is chrome for linux | 19:11 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: not that that even matters, that isnt related to this conversation | 19:11 |
| Oer | doritoDan, there is no native Safari for linux, so safari in wine is just sad | 19:11 |
| rypervenche | doritoDan: Because Google tracks your data in Chrome, plus chromium is easier to install. | 19:11 |

| doritoDan | How does Google track my data in Chrome? | 19:12 |
| doritoDan | Also, is there no Safari counterpart for Chrome? | 19:12 |
| overclucker | doritoDan: try Konqueror, it uses Webkit | 19:12 |
| BluesKaj | DrPenguin, how? ..it may be related , depending on his monitor ...an observation to keep in mind | 19:12 |
| doritoDan | Ok. | 19:12 |
| doritoDan | Thanks pal. | 19:12 |
| bastidrazor | taylor: that is a wine issue. #winehq can help with that. | 19:12 |

| taylor | yeah i looked it up and its good | 19:13 |
| BluesKaj | there is no safari equivalent or linux clone doritoDan | 19:13 |
| DrPenguin | taylor: that looks like your missing some dependency (or it atleast cant find it) | 19:13 |
| doritoDan | ok | 19:13 |
| doritoDan | thanks | 19:13 |
| ssta | anyone have a procmail recipe to pipe each message to a separate (uniquely named) file? | 19:13 |
| taylor | what do you mean | 19:14 |
| DrPenguin | taylor: but like they said, this isnt an ubuntu issue.. so now its ot | 19:14 |
| SudoFox | Chrome and Chromium work on ubuntu. | 19:14 |
| SudoFox | Or linux. | 19:14 |
| doritoDan | I'll get both | 19:15 |
| taylor | ok thank you so much for the help, i know i didnt make it easy for you, sorry | 19:15 |
| doritoDan | What are the most popular browsers on Ubuntu? | 19:15 |
| SudoFox | There are debian packages, I'm not sure about other pkg managers, though. | 19:15 |
| doritoDan | I'm guessing Firefox? | 19:15 |
| SudoFox | @doritoDan Internet Exploder. | 19:15 |
| BluesKaj | chromium is linux chrome , altho chrome does run on linux | 19:15 |
| BluesKaj | SudoFox, @ isn't required on irc | 19:15 |
| fuho | Chromium is the original opensource projects | 19:16 |
| geoffmcc | Chrome does run on Linux, but i wasn't happy with performance. chromium works way better, imo | 19:16 |
| SudoFox | @ catches attention better, though. | 19:16 |
| fuho | Chrome is Google branded version which is dowstream a bit | 19:16 |
| doritoDan | Doesn't Chrome and Chromium differ in functionality? | 19:16 |
| fuho | chromium has the newest features | 19:16 |
| SudoFox | If you have a mainly text-based client. | 19:16 |
| doritoDan | don't* | 19:16 |
| fuho | doritoDan: You can install chromium daily which has the latest features | 19:17 |
| BluesKaj | SudoFox, but others don'tso if they have their nickname set to highlight in their client , that's all that's required | 19:17 |
| fuho | doritoDan: like for example multiple gmail profiles | 19:17 |
| doritoDan | But isn't Chrome closed-source and developed by Google | 19:17 |
| doritoDan | while Chromium isn't? | 19:17 |
| geoffmcc | doritoDan: correct | 19:18 |
| SudoFox | Yeah, but I find it's convienent for the other. Besides, why check what client their using everytime you talk to someone | 19:18 |
| doritoDan | So who's developing Chromium? | 19:18 |
| machrider | anyone know what 'groot' should point to in menu.lst? boot partition or the linux root partition? | 19:18 |
| SudoFox | People. | 19:18 |
| BluesKaj | doritoDan, there isn't alot of diff , if you like chrome better then use it | 19:18 |
| derp|party | doritoDan, and a group of people at google work on Chrome | 19:18 |
| machrider | there's absolutely no documentaiton on the menu.lst magic used by update-grub... | 19:18 |
| doritoDan | What group is developing Chromium? | 19:18 |
| doritoDan | What's their name? | 19:18 |
| doritoDan | Do they have anything to do with Google? | 19:19 |
| DrPenguin | this is seriously getting off topic.. | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | doritoDan, yes | 19:19 |
| xangua | doritoDan: a little offtopic don't you¿ there is a chromium proyect web | 19:19 |
| SudoFox | Eh, I still want an answer to my question about the persistence layer and the ubuntu install... | 19:19 |
| fuho | Does anyone know how to run the boot flash disk utility from terminal? | 19:19 |
| SudoFox | search chromiumtrunk and you'll find it right away. | 19:19 |
| overclucker | doritoDan: http://www.chromium.org/ | 19:20 |
| derp|party | doritoDan, there are two teams at Google that work on Chromium | 19:20 |
| doritoDan | ok | 19:20 |
| derp|party | one works on the CHromium browser and the other brands it as Chrome. | 19:20 |
| doritoDan | thanks for all the info pals | 19:20 |
| doritoDan | aight i understand | 19:20 |
| derp|party | In wich i am involved in its dev | 19:20 |
| doritoDan | why do they bother releasing chromium | 19:20 |
| fuho | It might be called something else, maybe boot disk setup. I just downloaded a iso and would like to "burn" it to a flash drive. | 19:20 |
| windwhinny | chromium is open source | 19:21 |
| derp|party | doritoDan, advanced features minus google branding and release of confidential data. | 19:21 |
| doritoDan | aight | 19:21 |

| ubottu | doritoDan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 19:31 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: well.. for one.. Ubuntu uses much newer packages than Debian uses | 19:31 |
| DrPenguin | xangua: I wouldnt consider that ot.. | 19:31 |
| BluesKaj | babalu, open a terminal in the dir the file is located the | 19:31 |

| dg_ | Hi all | 19:32 |
| fuho | one last try: Does anone know how to reinitialize Dash. (Make it show installed programs) | 19:32 |
| dg_ | How can I know the current version of ubuntu I'm using ? | 19:32 |
| ohadios | Need some help - reinstalled ubuntu for the first time in a couple of years. I have the machine connected to my big screen TV via HDMI but I get horrible screen flickering... | 19:32 |
| DrPenguin | fuho: what does Dash have to do with showing installed packages? | 19:32 |
| xangua | dg_: lsb_release -a | 19:32 |
| fuho | DrPenguin: Dash home | 19:32 |
| dg_ | xanga> thanks | 19:33 |
| xangua | fuho: you can try to reset unity to see if that works | 19:33 |
| BluesKaj | babalu, the file is incomplete or corrupted | 19:33 |
| DrPenguin | fuho: thats different than dash.. literal dash is the Debian Almquist SHell | 19:33 |
| ak_pk | ubottu:how can i install php-pear in my ubuntu 11.10 | 19:33 |
| ubottu | ak_pk: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:33 |
| DJones | fuho: Amistake I've made in the past, double check that you're on the right tab in dash, I've made the mistake of being on the wrong tab & not had programs come up | 19:33 |
| ak_pk | :-P | 19:33 |
| fuho | DrPenguin: Sorry, didn't realize when tryint to abbreviate. | 19:33 |
| geoffmcc | ak_pk: sudo apt-get install php-pear | 19:34 |
| babalu | BluesKaj: ok i'll try to redownload it | 19:34 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, check out medibuntu | 19:34 |
| BluesKaj | !medibuntu | 19:34 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 19:34 |
| ohadios | BluesKaj - since it seems more like a driver issue I figured i'd experience the same issue there | 19:34 |
| fuho | DJones: What do you mean by tab? | 19:35 |
| ak_pk | geoffmcc:its ok,but wen i'm trying to install phpunit it shows an error that pear is not installed. | 19:35 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, also what graphics card ? You may need to install a more suitable driver | 19:35 |
| ohadios | Its an integrated NVIDIA card | 19:35 |
| gotsanity | is it possible to shrink a raid-0 array to make room for a second partition? | 19:35 |
| ohadios | lemme find the exact model | 19:35 |
| dg_ | bye all | 19:35 |
| DJones | fuho: At the bottom,there is a "home" iconfollowed by 3 others, just double check you're on the "home" one | 19:35 |

| Zopiac | I can't get X11 forwarding to work on this remote server... I edited sshd_config to allow it and restarted sshd, then used 'ssh ip.of.ser.ver -X' but am still getting "Thunar: Cannot open display:" | 19:36 |
| fuho | DJones: Do you mean one of those icons at the bottom of the window that opens when you click on Dash home opr hit meta? How many icons do you have there, me 3. | 19:36 |
| === Milos_ is now known as Milossh | ||
| DJones | fuho: On Dash home, I have 4 icons, Home, Applications, Files & Folders and Music | 19:37 |
| fuho | I only have Home, Files&Folders, Music visible. Programs disappeared, also Software Center won't load | 19:37 |
| ohadios | BluesKaj I have an NVIDIA 8200 | 19:37 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, admin> additional drivers , choose the "recommended driver" and install it , and a reboot will be required afterwards. | 19:38 |
| ohadios | BlusKaj - I already did that... | 19:38 |
| BluesKaj | ok , then the codecs may be to blame ohadios , check the medibuntu site for those , and make sure you have ffmpeg installed as well | 19:39 |
| geoffmcc | ak_pk: not familiar with what your doing, but try installing pear first and then try | 19:39 |
| ohadios | BluesKaj its not codec - I get flickering throughout the entire system... not just playing videos | 19:39 |
| ohadios | BluesKaj - When googling I found an old reference on a method for solving this, but it refers to editing the XORG.CONF... which apparently is not being used anymore since the last time I was running Ubuntu :/ | 19:40 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: its just optional but you can still use it | 19:41 |
| geoffmcc | ohadios: what is your display adapter | 19:41 |
| ak_pk | geofmcc:ya,let me try.thank u. | 19:41 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, open a terminal , sudo nvidia-xconfig | 19:41 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: the way X works, it will look for xorg.conf in /etc/X11, if it doesnt find it it will fall back to /etc/X11/xorg.d/* | 19:42 |
| DrPenguin | (didnt mean to hit enter.. darn keyboard) and then for the rest.. X just probes your system and does the best it can | 19:42 |
| ohadios | Thanks. I will try all this in a sec - I have just tried to install the "post-updates" driver and am restarting. | 19:42 |
| geoffmcc | ohadios: if its a newer Nvidia card, maybe try the latest driver | 19:43 |
| ohadios | I'm using NVIDIA 8200 | 19:43 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, the nvidia-xconfig command creates an xorgconf file | 19:43 |
| geoffmcc | ohadios: may want to look into ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 19:43 |
| ohadios | BluesKaj - thanks I will try that and then see if I can make the edit referenced on the fix-method i googled | 19:44 |
| ohadios | geoffmcc - can you provide a bit more details? | 19:44 |
| ohadios | uh oh | 19:45 |
| geoffmcc | ohadios: sorry.. yea. sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and then sudo apt-get update and finally sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 19:45 |
| ohadios | oh-uh... now linux not loading... getting hung on boot. | 19:45 |
| BluesKaj | geoffmcc, he already installed the rec'd driver | 19:45 |
| geoffmcc | BluesKaj: no ppa has a later version. | 19:46 |
| DrPenguin | why not just grab the de facto latest from nvidia.com? | 19:46 |
| ohadios | so now after I installed the "post-updates" driver... ubuntu is not loading... any ideas? | 19:47 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: try booting in single user mode | 19:47 |
| * BluesKaj wonders about nomodeset again | 19:48 | |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - not sure what that is... but when I press ctrl-alt-f1 I get into the terminal | 19:49 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - is there anything I can do from here to update or at least revert the driver? | 19:49 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: ok thats good! so ubuntu does boot but X isnt.. pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:49 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, what's post update driver name ? | 19:49 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - how would I do pastebin from terminal? | 19:50 |
| ohadios | BluesKaj - not sure, how do i check? | 19:50 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: theres some command for pastebinning.. anyone know it? | 19:50 |
| geoffmcc | ohadios: if you apt-get install nvidia-current it will activate latest in repo. | 19:50 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: its probably the post-install script | 19:50 |
| === matrixiumn is now known as Minecraft | ||
| geoffmcc | ohadios: but again, there is a newer driver in ppa i referenced to you | 19:50 |
| === Minecraft is now known as matrixiumn | ||
| ohadios | geoffmcc - i'll try adding the ppa and then updating | 19:50 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, sudo apt-cache policy nvidia-current | 19:51 |
| cipherboy | ohadios: DrPenguin pastebinit is the command you are looking for. | 19:51 |
| Zopiac | I can't get X11 forwarding to work on this remote server... I edited sshd_config to allow it and restarted sshd, then used 'ssh ip.of.ser.ver -X' but am still getting "Thunar: Cannot open display:" | 19:51 |
| DrPenguin | cipherboy: right on! thanks | 19:51 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, you'll see something like Installed: 280.13-0ubuntu6 | 19:52 |
| ohadios | installing the latest driver from the ppa... | 19:52 |
| Teratogen | I have ubuntu installed on a Compaq Presario V2000... when it was installing it said it did detect a wireless device | 19:52 |
| geoffmcc | ohadios: not sure what the version is right now, but back in Nov it was 285.05-09 | 19:53 |
| ohadios | BluesKaj I'm now downloading 280.13.... too bad I didnt see that command before downllading | 19:53 |
| ohadios | oh no | 19:53 |
| DrPenguin | geoffmcc: isnt the latest version like 296 right now? | 19:53 |
| ohadios | Blueskaj - downloading 290.10 | 19:53 |
| geoffmcc | DrPenguin: yes, i believe your right | 19:53 |
| DrPenguin | geoffmcc: i think its more like 297.. I have a 297 driver on my elitebook | 19:54 |
| ohadios | So how would I get 297? from the NVIDIA site? | 19:54 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, that's the latest driver but it's a gamble , not default | 19:54 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: thats what I recommend | 19:54 |
| ohadios | I'll take a gamble since the default was not working :) | 19:54 |
| Teratogen | but I can't seem to get wireless working =/ | 19:55 |
| ohadios | I just rebooted after installing 290 | 19:55 |
| ohadios | but still black screen on boot | 19:55 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: what wifi card do you have? | 19:55 |
| urlin2u | ohadios, you can get in with nomodeset in the kernel line of grub probably | 19:56 |
| Teratogen | geoffmcc, whatever comes with the Compaq Presario V2000 | 19:56 |
| Teratogen | I assume it is on the motherboard | 19:56 |
| Teratogen | since it is a notebook computer | 19:56 |
| ohadios | urlin2u - thanks, but I have no clue what that means :) | 19:56 |
| urlin2u | !nomodeset | ohadios | 19:56 |
| ubottu | ohadios: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 19:56 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: check out your specs and let us know what it is.. then can get some help | 19:56 |
| linxeh | Zopiac: iirc it is something to do with xauth, you might need to install an xauth proxy or something. | 19:57 |
| ohadios | thanks urlin2u will check that out right now and report back in a min | 19:57 |
| Teratogen | WIRELESS: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG WLAN | 19:57 |
| Zopiac | linxeh: hmm, don't remember doing that on this box, but it works fine... I'll look into it | 19:57 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, sudo nano /etc/default/grub , in the kernel line type in nomodeset after quiet splash , within the quotes , then ctl+o , enter, then ctl +x to save and exit the file | 19:58 |
| Teratogen | geoffmcc, when ubuntu was installing | 19:58 |
| Teratogen | it said it did detect a wireless something or other | 19:58 |
| Teratogen | I should have taken a photograph of that screen! =) | 19:58 |
| linxeh | Zopiac: I know this is old, but I'm sure I had to do it on my 10.04LTS VMs - http://www.miscdebris.net/blog/2007/05/24/x11-forwarding-with-openssh-on-bare-ubuntu-server-edition/ | 19:58 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: is this an acer? | 19:59 |
| Teratogen | it is a Compaq | 19:59 |
| Teratogen | I have ubuntu installed on a Compaq Presario V2000... when it was installing it said it did detect a wireless device | 20:00 |
| Teratogen | Compaq Presario V2000 | 20:00 |
| Zopiac | linxeh: Aha, installing xorg-xauth made it work fine, thanks :D | 20:00 |
| Teratogen | btw, interesting window manager | 20:00 |
| Teratogen | I've never seen before | 20:00 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: ok, thats right you said that. I have not used the card. i have broadcom experience. Have you gone to Additional Drivers and see if it just needs activated? | 20:01 |
| mcc | What's a good diff pretty-printer in Ubuntu | 20:01 |
| ohadios | guys, I added the nomodeset, but still black screen | 20:01 |

| BluesKaj | DrPenguin, he's at the tty | 20:02 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: hey can still pastebin it | 20:02 |
| DrPenguin | theres text based browsers.. the pastebinit command.. copy it off to another pc.. etc etc | 20:02 |
| BluesKaj | right , I forgot pastebinit | 20:02 |

| SudoFox | I want to keep it when I install. | 20:06 |
| urlin2u | SudoFox, they are different | 20:06 |
| Teratogen | geoffmcc, how do I do that? | 20:06 |
| SudoFox | I know | 20:06 |
| SudoFox | overlayfs, etc. | 20:06 |
| urlin2u | SudoFox, you can't keep it | 20:06 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: hmm.. something is going on towards the end.. do sudo nvidia-xconfig and then do sudo service gdm restart | 20:06 |
| SudoFox | Ah well. | 20:06 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: if your in 11.10 just go to dash and type driver. It should come up.. open additional drivers and see if you see wifi card listed, if do select it and press activate | 20:07 |
| SudoFox | Ok, then how do I export a list of all my installed apps? Can't find it in synaptic. | 20:07 |
| SunTsu | SudoFox: but you might be able copy over some of your data when bootin up your pen drive and mounting your fresh install, no? | 20:07 |
| auronandace | DrPenguin: if he is using 11.10 then it would be lightdm rather than gdm | 20:07 |
| Teratogen | dash? | 20:08 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - i was actually just doing that... got nvidia logo flashing on the screen a couple times, then black screen... | 20:08 |
| DrPenguin | auronandace: good call, I stopped using ubuntu after 11.04, never got accustomed to 11.10 | 20:08 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: what version of Ubuntu? | 20:08 |
| DJones | !cloning | SudoFox | 20:08 |
| ubottu | SudoFox: 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 | 20:08 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: can you get me the new Xorg.0.log then? also your xorg.conf | 20:08 |
| urlin2u | SudoFox, this will give you a installed list dpkg --get-selections > installed-software | 20:09 |
| SudoFox | @ SunTsu Oh? how so? Just copy paste or backup and restore...oh, hey, hrmm. | 20:09 |
| SudoFox | Thanks, both of you, | 20:09 |
| Teratogen | geoffmcc the very latest | 20:09 |
| SudoFox | Er, all of you. | 20:09 |
| auronandace | Teratogen: 11.10 or 12.04? | 20:10 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: dash is the first thing on the launch bar. | 20:10 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: the one above your home folder | 20:10 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin http://paste.ubuntu.com/789117 | 20:10 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin http://paste.ubuntu.com/789118 | 20:10 |
| SudoFox | Yay, thanks. | 20:10 |
| SunTsu | SudoFox: just boot up your usb pen drive, mount your newly created $HOME and copy over your current $HOME | 20:10 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: what is that second post? I need your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:11 |
| SudoFox | Oh, right, | 20:11 |
| SudoFox | Thanks. | 20:11 |
| ohadios | the first one is the xorg | 20:11 |
| ohadios | the 789117 | 20:11 |
| Teratogen | ok | 20:11 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: um.. no its not | 20:12 |
| Teratogen | how do I even get to a shell prompt? | 20:12 |
| * Teratogen is more used to Slackware/KDE | 20:12 | |
| hiexpo | wow was just looking at distrowatch and mint took a strong lead | 20:12 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: again using dash, just click it and type out term. terminal will show up | 20:12 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin http://paste.ubuntu.com/789121 | 20:12 |
| ohadios | but its the same | 20:12 |
| ohadios | i ran it again | 20:12 |
| Resistance | Teratogen: open the terminal. alt+f2, type in "gnome-terminal" | 20:12 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: or you can alt+f2 and then gnome-terminal | 20:12 |
| === xangua is now known as kub0t | ||
| Teratogen | is this actually gnome? | 20:13 |
| Rocking-W | any tips on setting up a gamepad on 10.10? | 20:13 |
| Resistance | Teratogen: if you are using just Ubuntu, its GNOME3 + Unity | 20:13 |
| Resistance | Teratogen: you can get just a GNOME interface, if you want | 20:13 |
| Resistance | !notunity | Teratogen | 20:13 |
| ubottu | Teratogen: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 20:13 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: its gnome using a unity shell | 20:13 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: ok that was wierd.. I clicked the 117 link but it gave me 118.. this is weird.. theres no obvious signs of issues in here but X is dying in the end.. can you do this? in your xorg.conf, replace "nvidia" with "vesa" for Driver undert he Device section, and delete VendorName | 20:13 |
| SudoFox | what's with all the !keyword things? | 20:13 |
| DrPenguin | SudoFox: those are commands the bot wil understand | 20:14 |
| Teratogen | ok, no additional drivers found | 20:14 |

| doritoDan | I have a .deb file I'm trying to install, but I'm getting errors from within the software center | 20:14 |
| doritoDan | Any idea why? | 20:14 |
| SudoFox | Yay. | 20:14 |
| Teratogen | I guess I could hook up an ethernet cable | 20:14 |
| doritoDan | Like, when I open the file, it opens the software center and just tells me an error has occured | 20:14 |
| doritoDan | what gives? | 20:14 |
| Teratogen | but I would have to set up a static ip address | 20:14 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: whats the output of sudo dpkg -i whateverthedebfileis | 20:14 |
| hiexpo | doritoDan, what arethe errors | 20:14 |
| SudoFox | ubuntu 3 software center sucks. At least here. | 20:14 |
| geoffmcc | Teratogen: the card is supported. like i said, i have no exp w/ card. if no one else can answer right now i would suggest forums or askubuntu. or jsut check back here later. | 20:15 |
| SudoFox | I like the old gnome better. | 20:15 |
| SudoFox | Ah well. | 20:15 |
| SudoFox | Bye | 20:15 |
| Teratogen | geoffmcc, ok thanks | 20:15 |
| ThinkT510 | SudoFox: try xfce | 20:15 |
| eggman2001 | does anyone know what settings to use if i want to set the local host explicitly as a proxy when making an http request? I'm thinking proxy = 127.0.0.1:8080, username = '', password = ''. However, that doesn't seem to be working | 20:15 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - did that, now what, reboot or just gdm restart? | 20:15 |
| Teratogen | like I said, the "card" was detected during install | 20:15 |
| Teratogen | apparently there is no driver for it | 20:15 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: restart gdm | 20:15 |
| Resistance | SudoFox: so use synaptic for software management / package management | 20:15 |
| Resistance | oh he left | 20:15 |
| Resistance | :P | 20:15 |
| hiexpo | doritoDan, dependicy's ? | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | doritoDan, open a terminal , cd to file dir , dpkg -i filename | 20:16 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - still black screen :( | 20:16 |
| doritoDan | DrPenguin: is that an I or an L | 20:16 |
| doritoDan | in the switch | 20:16 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: -i | 20:16 |
| Resistance | hiexpo: dependencies? :P | 20:16 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: thats not right.. give me your new xorg log | 20:16 |
| doritoDan | DrPenguin: So not an L? | 20:16 |
| hiexpo | oh well | 20:16 |
| doritoDan | I can't see. | 20:16 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: … its an i, like eye? | 20:16 |
| doritoDan | Ok, thanks. | 20:16 |
| BluesKaj | doritoDan, copy andf paste | 20:16 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin http://paste.ubuntu.com/789126 | 20:17 |
| doritoDan | DrPenguin: It tells me the flag is not valid | 20:17 |
| doritoDan | BluesKaj: I don't know how to copypaste into terminal | 20:17 |
| doritoDan | it just pastes weird characters when i do | 20:17 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: thats not right.. -i is a valid flag for dpkg | 20:17 |
| doritoDan | hiexpo: dependencies? what do you mean? | 20:17 |
| doritoDan | DrPenguin I as in I AM | 20:18 |
| doritoDan | Yes? | 20:18 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin does it have something to do with the fact that it says "no screens found"? | 20:18 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: thats.. odd.. vesa should work | 20:18 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: NO! its lowercase i | 20:18 |
| doritoDan | yes | 20:18 |
| doritoDan | as in "i am" then | 20:18 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: oh yeah your right there, for some reaosn it doesnt like your Screen section | 20:18 |
| hiexpo | doritoDan, double click the deb file and you will be able so see the errors most likely it is dependencies needs other packages or you have synaptic open | 20:18 |
| doritoDan | anyway DrPenguin first it told me i needed admin rights | 20:18 |
| doritoDan | so i put su | 20:18 |
| doritoDan | er sudo | 20:18 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: I did tell you sudo.. | 20:19 |
| doritoDan | and then it told me that -i was an invalid flag | 20:19 |
| doritoDan | ok | 20:19 |
| doritoDan | well | 20:19 |
| FloodBot1 | doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:19 |
| doritoDan | thats what i did | 20:19 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: that is definitely not an invalid flag | 20:19 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - so what do i do? | 20:19 |
| hiexpo | doritoDan, just double click the deb file | 20:19 |
| BluesKaj | doritoDan, there's aspce before -i | 20:19 |
| BluesKaj | space | 20:19 |
| doritoDan | su dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb | 20:20 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: hmm.. remove the nvidia package you installed, delete the xorg conf, and see if it will start X on its own | 20:20 |
| doritoDan | that's the exact line DrPenguin | 20:20 |
| doritoDan | oh | 20:20 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan SUDO not su | 20:20 |
| doritoDan | sudo* | 20:20 |
| doritoDan | yes | 20:20 |
| doritoDan | what's SU then | 20:20 |
| DrPenguin | switch user | 20:20 |
| doritoDan | oh | 20:20 |
| doritoDan | lol | 20:20 |
| FloodBot1 | doritoDan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:20 |
| doritoDan | that explains it | 20:20 |
| sattu94 | Happy New Year! | 20:21 |
| fuuu | NO | 20:21 |
| * BluesKaj always thought su was root user | 20:21 | |
| sattu94 | it's 0000 here ! | 20:21 |
| doritoDan | anyway DrPenguin | 20:21 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: I believe su defaults to root if you dont give it a user name | 20:21 |
| doritoDan | since it worked, does that mean its installed now? | 20:21 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: how should I know? you have to look at the output of dpkg | 20:21 |
| fuuu | ubuntu users r noobs lol | 20:21 |
| fuuu | that why | 20:22 |
| doritoDan | DrPenguin it just started unzipping it or whatever | 20:22 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - removed the nvidia-current, then deleted xorg, then gdm restart gave me a flashing nvidia logo again, then black screen | 20:22 |
| ohadios | want the log again? | 20:22 |
| cipherboy | sattu94: use #ubunto-offtopic, but it can't be. 22 minutes into the hour, no matter what timezone. | 20:22 |
| sattu94 | cipherboy: true, I am a bit off.. :P | 20:22 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: you may still have some nvidia package in there.. can you pastebin your dpkg -l output? | 20:22 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, did you run startx ? | 20:22 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: he restarted gdm | 20:22 |
| BluesKaj | what about lightdm | 20:23 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: if hes able to restart gdm hes not using lightdm | 20:23 |
| ohadios | ok | 20:24 |
| ohadios | ran startx | 20:24 |
| ohadios | im back in gnome | 20:24 |
| * BluesKaj has bone up on the vagaries of ubuntu dms ... no such troubles with kde :) | 20:24 | |
| DrPenguin | … what? that makes no sense | 20:24 |
| ohadios | i know! | 20:25 |
| ohadios | plus its not the really gnome... just thought it was. I got just a couple of menus | 20:25 |
| ohadios | I'm gonna try a restart one more time ? | 20:25 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: sure why not | 20:25 |
| BluesKaj | DrPenguin, ohadios , nope I've seen that before , the dm is running without X ...yes it's true | 20:25 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: Thats not what doesnt make sense. if X didnt come up with restarting gdm, then it shouldnt come up with startx | 20:26 |
| ohadios | well | 20:26 |
| DrPenguin | … the dm cant run without X | 20:26 |
| ohadios | restart brings black screen anyway | 20:26 |
| fizyplankton | does anyone know how to change the default program for a given file type? my comp seems to think that .conf files are vmware config files, and nautilus, rather than previewing the text in them, shows a blue vmware icon. | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | well, I've experinced that very thing , DrPenguin | 20:26 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: right… but its not correct. Whats effectively happened here is that X came up using 2 different configurations, but it should of used the same for both | 20:27 |
| BluesKaj | not with gnome , but with kde , and nvidia / X | 20:27 |
| ohadios | Guys, I really appreciate all the help... so what's the next step? | 20:27 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, hoes your screen looking ? | 20:27 |
| BluesKaj | how | 20:27 |
| ohadios | black screen upon reboot | 20:28 |
| ohadios | so i went back to tty | 20:28 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: show us the new log | 20:28 |
| BluesKaj | bummer | 20:28 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin http://paste.ubuntu.com/789136 | 20:28 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: its still loading some nvidia module.. you didnt remove something | 20:28 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, would you mind pastebining /etc/default/grub as well ? | 20:29 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin http://paste.ubuntu.com/789137 | 20:30 |
| ohadios | how would I find if I have anything "nvidia" left? | 20:30 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: get me a paste of dpkg -l | 20:30 |
| ohadios | hihi | 20:30 |
| ohadios | I did sudo apt-get remove nvidia* | 20:31 |
| ohadios | removing the nvidia-current-updates... | 20:31 |
| ohadios | but i think im also removing ubuntu-desktop :( | 20:31 |
| DrPenguin | that wouldnt break X though | 20:31 |
| fuuu | because u r noob | 20:31 |
| fuuu | simply | 20:31 |
| DrPenguin | fuuu: hush | 20:31 |
| fuuu | he is noob yea | 20:31 |
| fuuu | hah noob | 20:31 |
| DrPenguin | and your a jerk, shut it | 20:32 |
| fuuu | yep i am | 20:32 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: can you please get me a paste of dpkg -l | 20:32 |
| paulBird | hello! i want to boot windows on my ubuntu, do i just 'burn' the windows .iso to a USB i have? | 20:32 |
| ohadios | how do i do that? just pasteinit -i dpkg -l? | 20:32 |
| ohadios | in any case i "reinstalled" ubuntu-desktop... still no go | 20:33 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: im not quite sure how pastebinit works, id just do dpkg -l > dpkglog, and then pastebinit -i dpkglog | 20:33 |
| fuuu | he cant ever copypaste LOL | 20:33 |
| fuuu | look @ noob | 20:33 |
| urlin2u | paulBird, you can make a ntfs with a bootflag and extract the iso to it. | 20:33 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin http://paste.ubuntu.com/789140 | 20:34 |
| fizyplankton | paulBird: no. if you already have ubuntu installed, go to system>admin>startub disc creator. then you need to install windows, then reinstall ubuntu on top. windows clears the master boot record on install, so ubuntu has to be installed after windows | 20:34 |
| urlin2u | fizyplankton, all wrong info . | 20:34 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: do a find on nvidia, you still have like 5 or 6 nvidia packages | 20:34 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin is it the nvidia-173 that i need to uninstall? | 20:34 |
| fizyplankton | urlin2u: oh really? | 20:34 |
| ohadios | ok | 20:34 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: get rid of ALL of your nvidia packages | 20:34 |
| ohadios | i'll remove them | 20:34 |
| fizyplankton | urlin2u: says the one who doesnt have a working quad boot | 20:34 |
| urlin2u | fizyplankton, yes the start up only does ubuntu, and the mbr is fixed with two commands or a chroot. | 20:35 |
| DrPenguin | get rid of xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 20:35 |
| paulBird | fizyplankton: ok, thanks | 20:35 |
| urlin2u | fizyplankton, I have 5 OS on one HD | 20:35 |
| urlin2u | including W7 fizyplankton | 20:36 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - when i do "apt-get remove nvidia-173" it said "pacakge nvidia-173 is not installed so not removed" | 20:36 |
| fizyplankton | urlin2u: paulBird and if you already have windows, look in your cd burned prog for something like "open disc image or saved project" | 20:36 |
| fizyplankton | burner* | 20:36 |
| Kiten | i hate to ask but i'm having trouble finding easycap drivers and i know that 11.10 has kernel drivers for it but i don't want to upgrade to 11.10 from my 10.04 lts | 20:36 |
| BluesKaj | DrPenguin, he could black list nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 20:37 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: rc.. I think that means that the package is scheduled for removal or something.. you will probably need to use dpkg.. get rid of nvidia-common first and see what happens | 20:37 |
| Kiten | would someone mind helping me through it if you have experience with easycap | 20:37 |
| DrPenguin | BluesKaj: right.. but im telling him to delete nouveau | 20:37 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - how do i do that? | 20:37 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: … sudo apt-get remove nvidia-common | 20:37 |
| ohadios | when i do that it also wants to remove ubuntu-desktop | 20:38 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: … wha? that doesnt make sense.. whatever | 20:38 |
| Kiten | sudo apt-get remove nouveau-firmware | 20:38 |
| * BluesKaj shrugs ...getting rid of nouveau isn't easy | 20:38 | |
| DrPenguin | just do a dpkg —purge on thoe 4 nvidia rc packages | 20:38 |
| fuuu | ohadios, so, do you solved your problem? | 20:39 |
| ohadios | no, fuuu | 20:40 |
| fuuu | would be funny if NOT LOL | 20:40 |
| fuuu | hahaha nooob | 20:40 |
| DrPenguin | will someone kick fuuu | 20:40 |
| ohadios | thanks fuuu | 20:40 |
| fuuu | np! | 20:40 |
| ohadios | i appreciate u pointing the obvious | 20:40 |
| fuuu | noone will kick fuuu | 20:40 |
| fuuu | because ops are noobs too | 20:40 |
| eiriksvin | well, I just went down to walmart AGAIN and bought another top of the line WIFI adapter, and guess what it DONT WORK with UBUNT! | 20:40 |

| fuuu | and dunno how to use an op | 20:40 |
| DrPenguin | eiriksvin: your first problem: buying from walmart | 20:41 |
| ohadios | I get warnings "directoty /usr/lib32/nvidia-173/tls not empty so not removed" | 20:41 |
| ohadios | and 3 more directories | 20:41 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: man.. you messed something up when you originally attempted to remove nvidia | 20:41 |
| eiriksvin | Linksys AE2500 and if Ubuntu can't get their junk fixed, I will leave it behind just like windows | 20:41 |
| fuuu | Dont you get warnings liek 'WANING! NOOB IS USING LINUX! ACHTUNG" ? | 20:41 |

| BluesKaj | too many trolls and not enuff ops to kick them today | 20:43 |
| lol | ohadios, i think, you should not use ubuntu | 20:43 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: you can try forcing the dpkg purge.. | 20:43 |
| PProvost | Hey guys, quick question. Which of my various local rc files do I put something I want to have run when I connect via SSH? | 20:43 |
| ohadios | how do i force purge? | 20:43 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: I dont remember.. if you read the manpage or do dpkg —force-help it should tell you which force option you want | 20:44 |
| fizyplankton | can someone ban fuuu/lol's hostmask? | 20:44 |
| Flannel | fizyplankton: Already taken care of | 20:44 |
| ofih | because ubuntu is useless system | 20:44 |

| ofih | it is for noobs | 20:44 |

| gendalf | hmm | 20:48 |
| gendalf | cant ban? | 20:48 |
| PProvost | BluesKaj: I'm not sure I understand, or I didn't explain properly. Basically, when I connect to my Ubuntu server via SSH from my windows PC, I want that shell to immediately spawn tmux. | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | eristikophiles, get your own router | 20:48 |
| Ryllez89 | anyway to share the videos file on ubuntu for playstation 3? | 20:48 |
| DrPenguin | eristikophiles: do you not have your own internet service? | 20:48 |
| Kiten | eiriksvin, you can get a decent wireless adapter for like $20 bucks also be nice and ask your neighbours permission | 20:48 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - ok, so i forced removal of this packages, did a dpkg -l and confirmed no nvidia left there, restarted gdm, and still... black screen :) | 20:48 |
| eiriksvin | no no no, I have a computer that only has linux, it shares connection to my etherneted PS3 | 20:49 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: show me your log again.. I bet its still finding nvidia stuff.. | 20:49 |
| PProvost | Ryllez89: I think you can use MediaTomb to stream to PS3, but I've never done it | 20:49 |
| worrow | Can someone help me to figure something out? | 20:49 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin http://paste.ubuntu.com/789155 | 20:49 |

| worrow | I have an external HDD and want to share over my network | 20:50 |
| eiriksvin | I have a crap wifi adapter working now, it's a Belkin and I had to make it run native, but it's not strong enough to keep a good signal | 20:50 |
| Resistance | DrPenguin: syntax learn ;P | 20:50 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - looks like now its trying to load it but not finding the modules :) | 20:50 |
| DrPenguin | Resistance: BLAH! :P | 20:50 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: well that will happen its no big deal.. now its trying to use fbdev and it still fails.. your probably better off just reinstalling | 20:51 |
| ohadios | haha | 20:51 |
| Kiten | before i mess something up i should use check first before installing updates right ? | 20:51 |
| ohadios | yay | 20:51 |
| eiriksvin | ndis says my driver is working, also says the hardware is present, but no signal, no nothing | 20:51 |
| worrow | So I asked my question. Does anyone have the answer | 20:51 |
| PProvost | worrow: share to what/who? | 20:51 |
| DrPenguin | eiriksvin: do you have your own internet service | 20:52 |
| Kiten | worrow, if your running default ubuntu you can use nautilus to make it a shared network drive | 20:52 |
| Kiten | you have to mount it first | 20:52 |
| geoffmcc | worrow: setting up shares should be pretty easy. right click what you want to share and go to Sharing Options- if first time it will ask you to install samba. do so. | 20:52 |
| LosFrijoles | hey has anyone ever had Xorg start using 70-80% cpu and the middle mouse button scroll stop working at random? | 20:52 |
| worrow | Share my external hard drive so I can access from my other computers | 20:52 |
| eiriksvin | <DrPenguin> no, I can't get it here | 20:52 |
| PProvost | worrow: what Kiten said | 20:52 |
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, yea i've had that | 20:52 |
| worrow | PProvost, thanks | 20:52 |
| worrow | geoffmcc, thanks | 20:52 |
| eiriksvin | My neighbor can, he's just down the road | 20:52 |
| DrPenguin | eiriksvin: so let me get this straight.. you dont have an internet service but your trying to set up a router? | 20:52 |
| worrow | Kiten, thanks | 20:53 |
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, if i recall i believe it was a badly configured xorg | 20:53 |
| astartoth | hi all, just installed ubuntu from a mini.iso. I'm having 2 problems: enable/disable services and the network configuration that stalls when system is booting | 20:53 |
| LosFrijoles | Kiten: any ideas on fixing it? So far I have only managed to fix it by restarting the session and its starting to get annoying | 20:53 |
| Kiten | worrow, no problems | 20:53 |
| eiriksvin | but it costs too much to run cable to my house | 20:53 |
| astartoth | how can I skip auto configuration of network | 20:53 |
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, i'm not sure how ubuntu does xorg but on arch it was /etc/X11 | 20:54 |
| eiriksvin | no I'm trying to set up my Wifi adapter | 20:54 |
| DrPenguin | eiriksvin: ok glad I got that clear.. what does iwconfig return? | 20:54 |
| eiriksvin | 1 se | 20:54 |
| eiriksvin | sec | 20:54 |
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, lemme see if i can find where buntu stores its xorg stuff | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | PProvost, after ssh-ing into your target pc, then in ~/.bash rc you can write a lineto make an alias like tmux=/path/to/tmux , like /usr/bin/tmux or whatever is used to make it run. Then when you ssh intothe pc aagin just type tmux or whatever letters you chose and the app should run . | 20:55 |
| PProvost | BluesKaj: Yeah, I don't have a problem running it. I wanted it to run automatically when I remote into the machine (which is always over SSH). | 20:56 |
| eiriksvin | http://paste.pound-python.org/show/15845/ | 20:56 |
| mongy | PProvost: ssh user@host -t 'whatever command' | 20:56 |
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, what DE are you using ? | 20:56 |
| eiriksvin | DrPenguin ^^^ | 20:56 |
| DrPenguin | eiriksvin: according to iwconfig, wlan0 is set up | 20:56 |
| eiriksvin | yes, but thats what I'm running on now | 20:57 |
| PProvost | I was hoping for something in my .bashrc or .profile which would basically say "if connected remotely over SSH, then tmux att" | 20:57 |
| nick30 | do you have antenna attached? | 20:57 |
| BluesKaj | PProvost, interesting idea, if you find an answer , I hope you can return and share it with us...my knowledge on rclocal and runlevels is pretty scanty | 20:57 |
| eiriksvin | http://paste.pound-python.org/show/15846/ | 20:58 |
| LosFrijoles | Kiten: im using Ubuntu 11.10 which doesn't have an xorg.conf file by default. i think they only way to create one is logging into a recovery shell and running X -configure. is there any particular setting I should make sure is fixed a certain way to remove the problem once i get that far? | 20:58 |
| Kiten | i'm better at configuring arch than i am with ubuntu just because i'm used to where files are at | 20:58 |
| eiriksvin | Linksys is what I want to run | 20:58 |
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, well thats not the only way to make one you have an nvidia card ? | 20:58 |
| DrPenguin | eiriksvin: well if wlan0 isnt your linksys adapter.. then its not installed | 20:58 |
| hewan | what? | 20:58 |
| ssta | PProvost: you can... | 20:59 |
| LosFrijoles | Kiten: I'm on an acer aspire one. it uses the intel atom integrated graphics (whatever they are) | 20:59 |
| Kiten | ahh howdy then i'm on the same ;p | 20:59 |
| eiriksvin | ndis shows driver installed, and hardware present | 20:59 |
| hewan | ok what is this all about? | 20:59 |
| ssta | PProvost: something like: if [ ! -z ${SSH_CLIENT} ]; then ...do stuff...; fi | 20:59 |

| eiriksvin | <gendalf> you were once a noob too, not only that but don't run your mouth if your not helping | 21:01 |
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, go to appearance and turn off all the eye candy that will lower your cpu usage | 21:01 |
| jrib | In oneiric on a macbook 4,1, « xset s activate » does not turn off the backlight; it just reduces brightness to a minumum. How can I make it turn off the backlight? (Yes, I've executed « xset s blank ») | 21:01 |
| PProvost | ssta: Thanks! It ended up being "$SSH_CLIENT" but it seems to work so far | 21:01 |
| === NewYearsDay is now known as JG84 | ||
| Kiten | also LosFrijoles if you have the older acer aspire one scroll works but its extraoridinarly freaking hard to use | 21:02 |
| ssta | PProvost: cool. I always forget the exact rules for quoting/escaping shell variables....they never made much sense to me | 21:02 |
| Kiten | the new aspire ones have little divets on the touch pad where the scrolling area is | 21:02 |
| PProvost | ssta: same. :) | 21:02 |
| eiriksvin | so anyone got any ideas what I should do with this Linksys AE2500? | 21:03 |
| hewan | hewan.83@gmail.com | 21:03 |
| LosFrijoles | Kiten: i have one of the first ones to come out...finding the sweet spot has always been a little more difficult (i usually use an external mouse, but the scroll also stops working on that at the same time) | 21:03 |
| DrPenguin | eiriksvin: have you looked at the compatibility list for adapters? | 21:03 |
| Kiten | yeah if you use an external mouse you need to disable the touch pad | 21:03 |
| === MH0 is now known as MH2012 | ||
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, the sweet spot on mine is as far right of the pad as possible with out hitting the mouse button | 21:04 |
| Kiten | then you gotta hold it | 21:04 |
| eiriksvin | DrPenguin I have, it's not on there, but I can't find a dual band wifi adapter that I can buy | 21:04 |
| DrPenguin | eiriksvin: if its not there then it may not work *wink* have you tried another brand like belkin or netgear? | 21:05 |
| FMGrungekid | Hey Guys, I recently graduated from Uni doing a Computer Studies Degree. I wanna swtich over to Ubuntu but at the same time i am trying to learn c# and web development and i'm not sure whether learning programming on ubuntu will hinder my ability to learn how to programme or not? Is programming platform independent apart from the gui development side of it? | 21:05 |
| eiriksvin | what ever happend to madwifi and their alt driver stuff? | 21:05 |
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, i don't remember how but there was a way to increase the scrolling area software wise but it made using the touch pad normally pretty difficult | 21:05 |
| jrib | FMGrungekid: ask the c# channel | 21:05 |
| fizyplankton | FMGrungekid: yes. infact i would reccomment programming on ubuntu | 21:05 |
| DrPenguin | FMGrungekid: first off, Congrats on your graduation! for your question.. the platform is dependent if your target language isnt universal | 21:05 |
| eiriksvin | I just tried a Netgear, no go, and the Belkin n150 (slower) says it don't work | 21:06 |
| oneliner | FMGrungekid: take a look at eclipse | 21:06 |
| PProvost | FMGrungekid: Also ask on #mono, since you want C# | 21:06 |
| DrPenguin | eiriksvin: I find that hard to believe, Ive used a netgear dualband card on my ubuntu box | 21:06 |
| fizyplankton | FMGrungekid: and by yes i mean i reccommend it. im not sure exactly what "yes" answers | 21:06 |
| Ryllez89 | the problem with c# on linux is the .net framework | 21:06 |
| Ryllez89 | but we have mono | 21:06 |
| LosFrijoles | Kiten: the main issue I end up having is when the scrolling stops working even on my external mouse. it doesn't happen on my desktop computer and it didnt happen on this one until I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 | 21:06 |
| Ryllez89 | but not is the same thing | 21:07 |
| fizyplankton | and wine | 21:07 |
| PProvost | For web apps, mono isn't too bad | 21:07 |
| nick30 | c# is similar to java, right? | 21:07 |
| ssta | ugh...C# is a solution looking for a problem... | 21:07 |
| psychoticmeow | Hi guys. I'm having trouble setting up dual monitors. Despite my xorg.conf file, I get mirrored screens, instead of a single desktop across two monitors. http://pastie.org/3103781 | 21:07 |
| DrPenguin | wait.. is mono freee? I was looking at mono for Android and it costs like 400+ bucks | 21:07 |
| oneliner | FMGrungekid: besides, you can test code in other oses using virtual machines within ubuntu | 21:07 |
| DrPenguin | nick30: yeah C#'s syntax is similar | 21:07 |
| Kiten | LosFrijoles, yeah i was getting ready to upgrade but was thinking of holding off 11.10 has some quirky issues | 21:07 |
| fizyplankton | nick30: i think so. i know c++ and it is very simmilar to java | 21:07 |
| Kiten | DrPenguin, yes mono is free | 21:08 |
| PProvost | DrPenguin: mono is free | 21:08 |
| Kiten | that mono for android junk was probably fake | 21:08 |
| PProvost | Might be someone is charging for the Android version but that seems odd | 21:08 |
| fizyplankton | DrPenguin: if it runs on linux, odds are its free | 21:08 |
| ssta | C# is better than java in some respects I suppose (it has closuers for example). | 21:08 |
| eiriksvin | DrPenguin: I bought a Netgear WNDA3100 and it was a big fat NO | 21:08 |
| eiriksvin | so I brought it back and got the Linksys AE2500 and same thing | 21:08 |
| nick30 | i tkink that c# is micro$oft version of java :D | 21:08 |
| FMGrungekid | Ah thanks very much. I just have this niggling (probably stupid) feeling in the back of my mind that I am going to hinder my ability to learn it in some way. I have already tested a programme I made using c# and it seemed to work perfectly fine on mono. i am also planning to delve into ruby too which I have heard is better done under Linux/ | 21:08 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: that isnt a correct configuration for an extended monitor | 21:08 |
| psychoticmeow | Really? | 21:08 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: yeah.. really | 21:08 |
| Kiten | FMGrungekid, yeah ruby is really nice ;p | 21:09 |
| psychoticmeow | I created it from amdcccle :S | 21:09 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: you need to tell one monitor to be left of or right of the other | 21:09 |
| PProvost | DrPenguin: If you're doing web development, just go Javascript/Node.js/JQuery and be done with it. :) | 21:09 |
| DrPenguin | PProvost: I puke on web development | 21:09 |
| PProvost | Sorry, that was meant for FMGrungekid | 21:10 |
| fizyplankton | psychoticmeow: oh god the hells amdcccle gave me. i ended up writing the xorg file from scratch. from start to finish, it took 14 hours to get the 3rd monitor workingg | 21:10 |
| ssta | PProvost: that's all clientside. Ruby/C#/Java are serverside | 21:10 |
| psychoticmeow | Hah, damn | 21:10 |
| Kiten | well looks like i'm going to upgrade in the hopes that my easycap will be supported in 11.10 since the author of the older one decided to play god and remove the driver from source forge | 21:10 |
| ssta | you *can* use javascript for serverside, but it's not all that pretty | 21:10 |
| Kiten | *removed | 21:10 |
| fizyplankton | psychoticmeow: but now i have 3 monitors. TOTALLY worth it imo | 21:10 |
| PProvost | ssta: node.js isn't too bad once you get used to the programming model | 21:10 |
| Ryllez89 | i like php :x | 21:10 |
| psychoticmeow | DrPenguin, how do I add that to the configuration? | 21:11 |
| PProvost | And the basically free cloud host/push model is lovely | 21:11 |
| Kiten | i'll be on later i guess | 21:11 |
| PProvost | (free as in easy not free as in $$) | 21:11 |
| * Kiten in case i'm not happy new year | 21:11 | |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: im looking it up now because I forget the syntax | 21:11 |
| ssta | PProvost: I'm paid to write serverside java. Anything I need to do clientside uses gwt these days (which is javascript ultimately, but I never need to touch that :) | 21:11 |
| psychoticmeow | DrPenguin, thank you :) | 21:11 |
| FMGrungekid | Ok guys, I think I will switch over. I have used ubuntu on and off for about 3 years so I am ok with it and even developed my final year project on it. Thanks for the information guys. You have been a big help :) | 21:11 |

| rokia | hi every body, if i have the menu in french does that means that my local is set to fr_FR.UTF_8 | 21:13 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: i might be ditzing on this.. but I think the syntax is: Option "Direction" "MonitorIdentifier" | 21:13 |
| psychoticmeow | Hmm, how does that designate left and right? By order? | 21:14 |
| === Matrixiumn is now known as Matrixiumn2012 | ||

| DrPenguin | ssta: are you using Xrandr? | 21:15 |
| psychoticmeow | DrPenguin, so it's Option "LeftOf" "RightMonitorId"? | 21:16 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: naively, yes | 21:16 |

| doritoDan | what does it do, install the app? | 21:22 |
| Teratogen | oh how do I get to a shell prompt? | 21:22 |
| mongy | Teratogen: ctrl alt t | 21:22 |
| DrPenguin | doritoDan: um.. yeah if it worked then the package should be installed | 21:22 |
| doritoDan | alright, cool. | 21:22 |
| doritoDan | thanks man | 21:22 |
| psychoticmeow | No such luck | 21:23 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: ok.. lets try something here.. give me the output of xrandr please to pastebin | 21:23 |

| Teratogen | broadcom corp. BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] | 21:24 |
| Teratogen | is that helpful? | 21:24 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: ok lets try something.. do… xrandr —output DFP5 RightOf DFP6 | 21:24 |
| doritoDan | Ok so I'm running Firefox, Opera, Epiphany, Chrome, Chromium and Konqueror. | 21:25 |
| doritoDan | Did I forget any major Ubuntu browser? | 21:25 |
| Teratogen | Konqueror | 21:25 |
| psychoticmeow | DrPenguin, displays usage info | 21:25 |
| Teratogen | oh | 21:25 |
| Teratogen | you got that! =) | 21:25 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: i figured.. do xrandr —output DFP5 -o RightOf DFP6 | 21:26 |
| mongy | Teratogen: yeah. you need to install firmware-b43-installer | 21:26 |
| Teratogen | mongy, cool.... how do I do that? | 21:26 |
| doritoDan | Hm… I can't make Konqueror stick in my unity bar | 21:26 |
| doritoDan | there's no option to keep it in the bar | 21:26 |
| doritoDan | why is that | 21:26 |
| mongy | Teratogen: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 21:26 |
| psychoticmeow | DrPenguin, same deal | 21:26 |
| psychoticmeow | doritoDan, midori? | 21:26 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: … for the love of God.. hang on | 21:26 |
| jremi | Anyone in here have skills with obj-c (ios sdk) , .net frameworks, c# , restful web-services, json and also utilizes github? | 21:26 |
| psychoticmeow | DrPenguin, funny characters in your message | 21:27 |
| psychoticmeow | The first - is an mdash | 21:27 |
| psychoticmeow | Still no go though | 21:27 |
| doritoDan | psychoticmeow: Alright, I'll check it out. Thanks. | 21:28 |

| psychoticmeow | Tried this: xrandr --output DFP5 -o RightOf DFP6 | 21:30 |
| Teratogen | uhm, I never set a root password | 21:30 |
| Teratogen | how do I set a root password now? | 21:30 |
| pnorman | !root | Teratogen | 21:30 |
| ubottu | Teratogen: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:30 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: and? | 21:30 |
| mongy | Teratogen: its your users password | 21:30 |
| === xy2012 is now known as [2012] | ||
| Teratogen | ok | 21:31 |
| psychoticmeow | Usage instructions | 21:31 |
| mongy | Teratogen: the first user created that is.. | 21:31 |
| Flannel | mongy, Teratogen: The root password doesn't exist, the root account is locked. To use sudo, you enter your user password, but this is not the "root password". | 21:31 |
| mongy | Teratogen: so assuming you are the first user created, you're good to go | 21:31 |
| psychoticmeow | xrandr --output DFP5 -right-of DFP6 | 21:31 |
| psychoticmeow | No... :S | 21:31 |
| DrPenguin | THATS the syntax | 21:31 |
| psychoticmeow | Aha: xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 2970x1920 (desired size 3360x1050) | 21:32 |
| DrPenguin | xrandr —output DFP5 —right orleft-of DFP6 | 21:32 |
| psychoticmeow | That size is not what I desire | 21:32 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: that is refering to your virtual screen size.. its too small (sorry about that, -o is for rotation) | 21:32 |
| psychoticmeow | Yes | 21:32 |
| psychoticmeow | my second screen is rotated right | 21:33 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: well thats because you have a rotation option in your X conf | 21:33 |
| psychoticmeow | So virtual screen should be 2970x1680 | 21:33 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: no.. thats what your screen size is.. you need to make it bigger, 4096 2048 should be sufficient | 21:34 |
| Teratogen | mongy, thanks | 21:34 |
| psychoticmeow | Wait, why does it need to be bigger if it fits the two screens? | 21:35 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: your confusing screens. in X, you have somehting called a "Screen". this is an X screen that your monitors fit into. THAT needs to be enlarged | 21:36 |
| psychoticmeow | Yes, I was just pointing out that my monitors both fit into the current screen area | 21:36 |
| psychoticmeow | At least they would if rotated | 21:36 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: because its cloned. Clone is different | 21:36 |
| psychoticmeow | I'll increase it in xorg.conf | 21:36 |
| psychoticmeow | brb | 21:37 |
| hansg01 | need help to configure vpn | 21:37 |
| hansg01 | how to create one? | 21:37 |
| DrPenguin | thats not an Ubuntu related topic | 21:38 |
| PProvost | ssta: Node.js is server side | 21:39 |
| Kiten | !vpn | hansg01 | 21:39 |
| ubottu | hansg01: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 21:39 |
| hansg01 | i need to know how to create one in ubuntu | 21:39 |
| psychoticmeow | DrPenguin, ok, xrandr ran that time | 21:39 |
| Agamemnus | Hello. | 21:39 |
| Agamemnus | I need some basic help. | 21:39 |
| Kiten | hansg01, look at what ubottu said | 21:39 |
| psychoticmeow | The display is still cloned though | 21:39 |
| pnorman | !ask | Agamemnus | 21:40 |
| ubottu | Agamemnus: 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 | 21:40 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: if you use xrandr —output DFP5 —right-of DFP6 it wont be | 21:40 |
| psychoticmeow | The only affect is that the mouse cursor only appears on one display | 21:40 |
| psychoticmeow | I ran: xrandr --output DFP5 --right-of DFP6 | 21:40 |
| DrPenguin | psychoticmeow: thats a "bug" in X Server | 21:40 |
| Agamemnus | I'm trying to install the Freebasic compiler, and I followed the instructions, but I keep getting "bash: /usr/local/bin/fbc: No such file or directory" | 21:40 |
| Agamemnus | It must be some simple syntax issue left out of the instructions... | 21:40 |
| pnorman | Agamemnus: Where are the instructions you followed? | 21:41 |
| Agamemnus | They are here: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=167909#p167909 | 21:41 |
| Agamemnus | And here is what happens: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=168662#p168662 | 21:41 |
| Agamemnus | I don't know where the user/local/bin is or how to access it, either | 21:42 |
| Agamemnus | I'm flying blind. | 21:42 |
| Kiten | Agamemnus, its /usr/local/bin | 21:43 |
| hansg01 | the gateway in pptp vpn is the pptp server? | 21:43 |
| Kiten | and it doesn't exist unless an application created it | 21:43 |
| sanman | Agamemnus: is /usr/local/bin in your $PATH? | 21:43 |
| Agamemnus | So, judging by the read-out here, did it? | 21:44 |
| Agamemnus | $PATH? | 21:44 |
| sanman | Agamemnus: echo $PATH | 21:44 |
| Kiten | hansg01, i'm pretty sure there is a channel for vpn questions try #vpn if that doesn't work the guys in #linux usually love talking about network stuff | 21:44 |
| Agamemnus | I'm kind of on Windows now. What is the significance of this? | 21:44 |
| hansg01 | kiten: on freenode itself? | 21:45 |
| Kiten | yes | 21:45 |
| sanman | Agamemnus: why don't you try in #windows then? | 21:45 |
| Agamemnus | :| | 21:45 |
| DrPenguin | Agamemnus: its a basic OS thing. PATH defines where your command interpreter looks when you issue a command to it | 21:45 |
| Agamemnus | I'm trying to install Freebasic in ubuntu. | 21:45 |
| * tyler_wylie read that as FreeBSD in Ubuntu. | 21:45 | |
| Kiten | Kiten, i'm not proficient in networking so i can't really help you, i can do ftp servers(somewhat) and IRC | 21:45 |
| * tyler_wylie got excited and then let down. | 21:45 | |
| Kiten | lol | 21:45 |
| Kiten | *hansg01, | 21:46 |
| Agamemnus | If I set $PATH to /user/local/bin will this work? | 21:46 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: What are you trying to do? | 21:46 |
| Agamemnus | I mean.. usr/local/bin | 21:46 |
| sanman | Agamemnus: you want to do "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin" | 21:46 |
| Kiten | tyler_wylie, he's wanting to configure a vpn | 21:46 |
| DrPenguin | Agamemnus: you will break your system if you do that.. first check if thats in your path, if not you want to APPEND it not set it | 21:46 |
| sanman | Agamemnus: but that may not even fic your issue | 21:46 |
| hansg01 | tyler_wylie: set up a uk vpn | 21:47 |
| tyler_wylie | Kiten: I see, trying to get more details about it | 21:47 |
| Kiten | DrPenguin, i've not fooled around with ENV's too much care to explain how to append ? | 21:47 |
| Agamemnus | I really have no clue. It tells me this: | 21:47 |
| Agamemnus | "Extracting ./FreeBASIC-0.23.0-linux.run into '/usr/local'... | 21:47 |
| Agamemnus | ok | 21:47 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: What kind of endpoints? | 21:47 |
| DrPenguin | Kiten: what sanmansaid will work | 21:47 |
| Agamemnus | Doesn't this mean that I have a /usr/local' already? | 21:47 |
| DrPenguin | Agamemnus: ofcourse you do | 21:47 |
| Kiten | DrPenguin, ahh thanks didn't see that | 21:47 |
| hansg01 | tyler_wylie:i just have the pptp server,username and pass | 21:47 |
| DrPenguin | Kiten: thats the beauty of Strings in Bash, its very simple, you can concatenate by simply putting strings next to each other without a space separating | 21:48 |
| Agamemnus | what if I set the PATH to '/usr/local'? wouldn't that make more sense? | 21:48 |
| Agamemnus | Since that's where it got installed to? | 21:48 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: If you're in Ubuntu you should be able to set up a simple PPTP vpn with the NetworkManager tool, I believe there's a PPTP plugin as well so that you can create a new network in there. | 21:48 |
| sanman | Agamemnus: if you do that you will break things | 21:48 |
| Agamemnus | or should i go with "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin"? | 21:48 |
| DrPenguin | Agamemnus: nope.. because it was extracted in there.. doesnt mean theres a binary in there | 21:48 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: I've got more experience with Cisco VPN but I know that I've been able to setup PPTP with NetworkManager before. | 21:49 |
| Agamemnus | Ok, how do I CD to usr/local again? | 21:49 |
| hansg01 | tyler_wylie: i m there | 21:49 |
| Kiten | DrPenguin, yeah i've just not messed with ENV's alot because i've bricked a few really sweet setups | 21:49 |
| hansg01 | tyler_wylie: the gateway = pptp server? | 21:49 |
| sanman | cd /usr/local/bin | 21:49 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: I went to edit connections, VPN tab, add, then select PPTP | 21:49 |
| Agamemnus | thanks | 21:50 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: Yes, the gateway will be the endpoint of your tunnel | 21:50 |
| shadfc | hey guys, i just upgrade to 11.10 and I had an existing software raid1 array. I've got that working once I get into ubuntu, but it won't mount at boot. I have to skip it because it "isn't available" or smth. Any ideas? | 21:50 |
| hansg01 | tyler_wylie: yeah done hat too | 21:50 |
| Agamemnus | i | 21:50 |
| Agamemnus | i'll be back :) | 21:50 |
| hansg01 | tyler_wylie: and what abt NT domain? | 21:50 |
| Teratogen | it's strange to have a unix that doesn't have a root account | 21:51 |
| hansg01 | tyler_wylie: i have inserted what i had for pptp server to gateway and username password to wht is there | 21:51 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: Is your PPTP end point a Windows box? | 21:51 |
| Teratogen | in Slackware the first thing I do when I open up a terminal is su root | 21:51 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - can you give me the ppa again? I should've saved it... | 21:51 |
| tyler_wylie | THat's part of an Active Directory domain? | 21:52 |
| hansg01 | hansg01: i am trying to connect bestukvpn.com | 21:52 |
| Teratogen | I guess Ubuntu is trying the protect the user from him or herself | 21:52 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: Unfortunately I'm not familiar with how their VPN setups work | 21:52 |
| draven | is it safe to delete files under /lib/modules? | 21:52 |
| hansg01 | hansg01:oh | 21:53 |
| hansg01 | hansg01:okay thank you! | 21:53 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: Under advanced you can specify which authentication method to use as well, I use mschap here but should try to grab as much information from them on configuration details for your VPN. | 21:53 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: dont use the ppa, go to nvidia.com | 21:53 |
| ohadios | ok... though nvidia also has 290.10 as latest... not 297 | 21:54 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: its dependent on your video card.. an older card wont have the "latest" driver | 21:54 |
| raven | vlc - where to set the capturing dir? | 21:54 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, use what nvidia recommends for your card | 21:55 |
| hansg01 | hansg01: if you aren't busy chck this for all the details i have http://www.bestukvpn.com/ | 21:55 |
| sanman | draven: those are your kernel modules, I would recommend leaving them | 21:55 |
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: I am working on some alcatel lucent FTTU equipment atm so don't have much spare time | 21:56 |
| draven | sanman, they appear to have quite a back log of versions and i'm out of space due to packages | 21:56 |
| BluesKaj | ohadios, newest isn't always best | 21:56 |
| === JLuc is now known as spip | ||
| DrPenguin | draven: dont look to /lib/modules to clean your stuff out.. they arent all big | 21:56 |
| hansg01 | tyler_wylie: okay thank you! | 21:56 |
| === MH2012 is now known as |2012| | ||
| tyler_wylie | hansg01: Best of luck getting that setup | 21:58 |
| ohadios | BluesKaj, DrPenguin - Nvidia recommends 290.10... so im downloading it from their site. I know new is not always best, but old is flickering... (which is the original reason for me coming here :) ) | 21:59 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: is double buffering enabled in your X server? | 21:59 |
| ohadios | i'll check in a sec. how do i install the driver i downloaded from nvidia? its a .run file? | 21:59 |
| raven | vlc - where to set the capturing dir? | 22:00 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: you need to kill X, sudo sh the .run file, and then turn X back on | 22:00 |
| who_me | ohadios: using the x-swat repo might be best than running the .run file :) | 22:00 |
| who_me | s/best/better | 22:00 |
| DrPenguin | who_me: id disagree there | 22:00 |
| Agamemnus | Hello again.. | 22:01 |
| Agamemnus | Is there a website that has this channel running as a web-chat? | 22:01 |
| Agamemnus | I don't want to keep switching between Windows and Ubuntu | 22:01 |
| linxeh | Agamemnus: http://webchat.freenode.net/ | 22:01 |
| Agamemnus | ah | 22:01 |
| linxeh | Agamemnus: but why not install an irc client in ubuntu and windows? | 22:01 |
| Agamemnus | terrible captcha, i'll never get it | 22:02 |
| Agamemnus | too lazy | 22:02 |
| who_me | unless you want to be dropped to console and have to rebuild your kernel module manually every time you get a kernel update | 22:02 |
| Agamemnus | Ok, so here's the problem now | 22:02 |
| DrPenguin | who_me: Thats how you get stuff done on Linux.. | 22:02 |
| Agamemnus | I added the PATH as suggested | 22:02 |
| who_me | DrPenguin: there are simpler ways | 22:02 |
| Agamemnus | ("export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin") | 22:02 |
| DrPenguin | who_me: I prefer what is imo the "right" way | 22:02 |
| Agamemnus | It still doesn't work. | 22:02 |
| Agamemnus | I went to /usr/local/bin | 22:03 |
| DrPenguin | Agamemnus: what happens when you try to exec the compiler | 22:03 |
| Agamemnus | I did "dir", and there was a single entry: "fbc" | 22:03 |
| Agamemnus | I typed "fbc" and got "bash: /usr/local/bin/fbc: No such file or directory" | 22:03 |
| raven | vlc - where to set the capturing dir? | 22:03 |
| DrPenguin | Agamemnus: try which fbc | 22:03 |
| === pr0ton_ is now known as pr0ton | ||
| linxeh | Agamemnus: do ./fbc | 22:04 |
| Agamemnus | Ok, I'll try that, thanks. | 22:04 |
| BluesKaj | , Happy New Year All ! , see you next year :) | 22:06 |
| ohadios | Thanks for all your help BluesKaj | 22:06 |
| ohadios | damnit! missed him by that much | 22:06 |
| agamemnus | Ok, I'm on ubuntu | 22:07 |
| ohadios | well... updated to 290.10. restarting. Godspeed! (DrPenguin) | 22:07 |
| agamemnus | I tried ./fbc, and it still gives the same error | 22:07 |
| DrPenguin | agamemnus: which fbc | 22:07 |
| Qation | Will using fdisk to partition a disk with an OS already installed destroy the data or is there a way to perserve it? | 22:07 |
| agamemnus | it says: | 22:08 |
| DrPenguin | agamemnus: that means its not in your path | 22:08 |
| agamemnus | "/usr/local/bin/fbc" | 22:08 |
| DrPenguin | oh well that means it is in your path | 22:08 |
| agamemnus | I'm at "michael@ubuntu:usr/local/bin" | 22:08 |
| agamemnus | with the $ | 22:08 |
| agamemnus | "michael@ubuntu:usr/local/bin$" | 22:08 |
| tyler_wylie | Then ./fbc should work...hmm | 22:08 |
| agamemnus | I get the same error | 22:09 |
| DrPenguin | agamemnus: can you get us the output of ls -l /usr/local/bin/fbc? | 22:09 |
| agamemnus | bash: ./fbc: No such file or directory | 22:09 |
| agamemnus | what do you mean? | 22:09 |
| auronandace | is fbc a directory? | 22:09 |
| agamemnus | oh, ls | 22:09 |
| agamemnus | ok | 22:09 |
| mongy | Qation: you can use it to make a partition with available free space, it will be ok | 22:09 |
| DrPenguin | auronandace: im verifying that now | 22:09 |
| agamemnus | "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1497052 2011-08-06 18:51 /usr/local/bin/fbc" | 22:10 |
| auronandace | DrPenguin: good call | 22:10 |
| DrPenguin | ok thats not a directory.. | 22:10 |
| sanman | agamemnus: try running it with the full path, "/usr/local/bin/fbc" | 22:10 |
| agamemnus | Same error. | 22:10 |
| DrPenguin | agamemnus: whats the output of $PATH | 22:11 |

| Teratogen | says not found | 22:11 |
| Teratogen | what am I doing wrong? | 22:11 |
| DrPenguin | agamemnus: thats good.. /usr/local/bin is in your path.. | 22:11 |
| DrPenguin | Teratogen: is your repo synced? | 22:11 |
| Teratogen | using Ubuntu 11.10 | 22:11 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin! 290.10 installed, system booted, flickering seems to be gone!!! | 22:11 |
| Teratogen | oh | 22:11 |
| Flannel | agamemnus: No, I meant copy a bunch of lines (10, 15, something like that), and then pasting them (all together) into paste.ubuntu.com | 22:12 |
| Teratogen | how do I sync my repo? | 22:12 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: very good sir! :) | 22:12 |
| DrPenguin | Teratogen: sudo apt-get update | 22:12 |

| agamemnus | I tried the install again, too. | 22:13 |
| Flannel | agamemnus: Yes, please pastebin the past few commands you've done here | 22:13 |
| ohadios | this is very frustrating... Don't want to go back to Windows -but it was so easy there.... and I really want to watch these videos! | 22:13 |
| ssta | wrong shebang maybe? | 22:14 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: you may need to configure your X Server a bit.. working on an automagic configuration does not always give you the best results.. theres an nvidia config page from arch linux.. use that | 22:14 |
| ohadios | where do i find that? | 22:14 |
| agamemnus | :| | 22:14 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: peruse the arch wiki, searching nvidia on it should result in what you want | 22:14 |
| Flannel | agamemnus: Are you on a 64bit OS right now? | 22:15 |
| sanman | agamemnus: give us the output of "uname -a" then "file /usr/local/bin/fbc" | 22:16 |

| agamemnus | Linux ubuntu 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 22:17 |
| mongy | ohadios: try installing/using pavcontrol and see if you can choose your device as output. | 22:17 |
| agamemnus | usr/local/bin/fbc: ERROR: cannot open `usr/local/bin/fbc' (No such file or directory) | 22:17 |
| DrPenguin | O_o? why does x86_64 repeat in your output? thats weird | 22:17 |
| mongy | agamemnus: you are. | 22:17 |
| ssta | leading / missing agamemnus | 22:17 |
| agamemnus | three times | 22:17 |
| DrPenguin | agamemnus: file /usr/local/bin/fbc | 22:17 |
| sanman | agamemnus: the leading / is important | 22:18 |
| agamemnus | "/usr/local/bin/fbc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, stripped" | 22:18 |
| Flannel | agamemnus: The above errors are why I asked for a pastebin of commans/responses. | 22:18 |
| Flannel | agamemnus: You'll want to install ia32-libs | 22:18 |
| agamemnus | I was getting to that, Flannel :) | 22:18 |
| agamemnus | What is ia32-libs? | 22:18 |
| Flannel | agamemnus: OR better yet, find a FreeBasic that's built for 64bit | 22:18 |
| sanman | agamemnus: or you could see if the software you are tyring to use comes in a 64 bit version | 22:18 |
| DrPenguin | agamemnus: 32bit compat libraries for 64bit os | 22:18 |
| agamemnus | There isn't one. | 22:18 |
| ssta | it's 32bit only | 22:19 |
| agamemnus | So the whole thing is because I'm trying to run a 32-bit program on a 64-bit OS? | 22:19 |
| sanman | agamemnus: run this: "ldd /usr/local/bin/fbc" | 22:19 |
| DrPenguin | agamemnus: im skeptical tho.. the error your getting doesnt correspond with an architecture error | 22:20 |
| sanman | agamemnus: does it tell you it can't find any libraries? | 22:20 |
| agamemnus | sanman: "not a dynamic executable" | 22:20 |
| sanman | well, that's interesting | 22:20 |
| sanman | can you build fbc from source? | 22:21 |
| Teratogen | ok | 22:21 |
| Teratogen | got wireless working | 22:21 |
| Teratogen | thanks all | 22:21 |
| agamemnus | Well I was told that I would have troubles with a 64-bit OS, but I didn't know I couldn't do anything at all with it | 22:21 |
| agamemnus | I probably could, but I don't know how | 22:21 |
| DrPenguin | agamemnus: the source balls usually come with README's | 22:21 |
| ohadios | how do i check what version of the driver is actually being used? | 22:21 |
| Teratogen | DrPenguin, mongy, and others | 22:21 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: Xorg.0.log will tell you | 22:22 |
| Flannel | agamemnus: This is really a 'problem' with FreeBasic, not the OS. | 22:22 |
| agamemnus | so, 32-bit programs can't be run by 64-bit Ubuntu? | 22:22 |
| benbloom | is there a way to find out what the specs on my PCIe graphics card are without opening up the computer? | 22:22 |
| sanman | agamemnus: if they are built correctly they can be | 22:22 |
| ant30 | hey, Happy new year for Ubuntu World | 22:23 |
| sanman | agamemnus: this is a problem with the distribution of the software | 22:23 |
| Teratogen | benbloom, lspci ? | 22:23 |
| ssta | agamemnus: they can. Install ia32-libs | 22:23 |
| angela- | how do i enther the config file of ngircd i have it running now? | 22:23 |
| benbloom | right Teratogen | 22:23 |
| agamemnus | How do I install ia32-libs? | 22:23 |
| sanman | agamemnus: apt-get install ia32-libs | 22:23 |
| ssta | agamemnus: apt-get install ia32-libs | 22:23 |
| sanman | agamemnus: sorry, sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 22:23 |
| ssta | umm, sudo in there too | 22:23 |
| robbbie | anyone with an apple magicmouse or some sort of trackpad able to mimic osx touch gestures in ubuntu?? | 22:23 |
| ohadios | uhm | 22:23 |
| agamemnus | it's doing something :D | 22:24 |
| ohadios | It's still running 173?? | 22:24 |
| OliveGreen | Hi all. | 22:24 |
| sanman | hi | 22:24 |
| samruger | im having trouble using gnome3 shell in 11.10. all the images are all broken and screwed up and im having trouble finding a fix on googlel | 22:24 |
| ohadios | I think I know what I did wrong... | 22:24 |
| OliveGreen | First of all, happy new year everyone! :-) | 22:24 |
| robbbie | samruger: i had a similar problem with nautilus, just running 'killall nautilus' solved the problem once i started it back up. | 22:25 |
| agamemnus | Happy new year, OliveGreen. | 22:25 |
| agamemnus | Ok, I ran it. | 22:25 |
| agamemnus | WOW | 22:25 |
| agamemnus | it works! | 22:25 |
| agamemnus | :D:D:D:D:D:D | 22:25 |
| agamemnus | Thanks, guys! | 22:26 |
| sanman | you're welcome | 22:26 |
| ssta | strange error to get for an arch issue. | 22:26 |
| sanman | I agree | 22:26 |
| Teratogen | by the way, I am using Ubuntu 11.10 | 22:27 |
| Teratogen | is that the latest? | 22:27 |
| ssta | latest stable, yes | 22:27 |
| OliveGreen | Secondly, I'm having a very annoying problem with my mouse (curson, actually). It freezes eventually (as in stops moving at all that I have reboot to get it to work again). Is there any command which can sort fix it or something? | 22:27 |
| agamemnus | wanted to try compiling but ubuntu is not reading all the partitions, so i'll be back again.. | 22:27 |
| ohadios | YEAH! DrPenguin! Running 290.10, sound working, no flickering! the world is GREAT | 22:28 |
| OliveGreen | ohadios, congrats. :) | 22:28 |
| ohadios | DAMNIT | 22:29 |
| ohadios | Spoke too soon | 22:29 |
| ohadios | still flickering | 22:29 |
| samruger | robbbie, i killed nautilis and started it again but it didnt do anything | 22:29 |
| DrPenguin | >_>;… ohadios can I see your log? | 22:29 |
| ohadios | yes you may | 22:29 |
| ohadios | one sec | 22:29 |
| benbloom | so Teratogen http://paste.ubuntu.com/789228/ is the ATI RS690M my video card? I thought that was the builtin | 22:29 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin http://paste.ubuntu.com/789230/ | 22:30 |
| Teratogen | looks like it, benbloom! | 22:30 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: looks like your issue is related to your GPU's powermizer settings.. can you open up nvidia-settings? the powermizer settings should be in there | 22:32 |
| ohadios | im there | 22:32 |
| ohadios | what am i looking for? there's nothing editable there. | 22:32 |
| DrPenguin | you basically wanna prevent any power saving features in the GPU | 22:32 |
| Teratogen | benbloom, you have a notebook, or a tower, or what? | 22:33 |
| ohadios | i cant find any way to disable it | 22:33 |
| Teratogen | I think the ATI would be the chipset on your motherboard | 22:33 |
| Teratogen | do you have a video card installed? | 22:33 |
| benbloom | Teratogen: i just realized i ran lspci on the wrong terminal. i figured out | 22:33 |
| Teratogen | oh | 22:33 |
| === who_me_ is now known as who_me | ||
| Teratogen | so did you find the info you needed? | 22:33 |
| benbloom | ty for the followup | 22:33 |
| benbloom | yup | 22:34 |
| Teratogen | I was just thinking if you have a video chipset on the motherboard and you also have a video card installed you might have to go into the bios and disable the motherboard video, is all | 22:34 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828369 | 22:34 |
| benbloom | im trying to figure out if my cord will support 3 video outputs. the card has VGA DVI and HDMI | 22:35 |
| benbloom | I want to clone my DVI screen onto the HDMI screen but I'm not sure my hw will support it | 22:35 |
| slakcphil | hey all! have a happy new year! | 22:39 |
| ohadios | DrPenguin - seems like that works! | 22:44 |
| agamemnus | Hi again. | 22:45 |
| ohadios | I really appreciate all your help here today! I know it wasn't as simple as "restart the machine, you idiot"... | 22:45 |
| agamemnus | I still have a few issues | 22:45 |
| ohadios | I really appreciate all your help here today! I know it wasn't as simple as "restart the machine, you idiot"... (DrPenguin) | 22:45 |
| ohadios | gotta go shower now... good buy everyone | 22:45 |
| agamemnus | It's saying, for instance, "ld: cannot find -lgcc" | 22:45 |
| DrPenguin | ohadios: its np | 22:46 |
| agamemnus | I tried "sudo apt-get install libgcc-dev" but it's not working | 22:46 |
| agamemnus | I know it's something trivial.. | 22:46 |
| caffine | how do i find the /dev device to which a usb device has been bound? apparently, usbcore registered my device with snd-usb-audio, but i'm not sure where or how to find it to use on the command line with mplayer. i can see the video at /dev/video0 but don't know where to find the audio. here are the relevant entries from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789239/ and here's lsusb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789240/ | 22:47 |
| grendal-prime | anyone running 10.04 on a dell latitude d610 | 22:48 |
| agamemnus | What is the format for getting gcc for instance? | 22:48 |
| cypher-neo | grendal-prime, I'm not. Are you? | 22:48 |
| grendal-prime | agamemnus, apt-get install gcc | 22:48 |
| agamemnus | i don't think that's it | 22:49 |
| grendal-prime | cypher-neo, might be...well if someone cant tell me about what to expect on it. | 22:49 |
| agamemnus | or, | 22:49 |
| agamemnus | that's not the right gcc | 22:49 |
| benbloom | so. would it be possible to run my two monitors off my PCIe gfx card and then a third off the built in HDMI output? | 22:49 |
| SoulShadow | benbloom: doubtful | 22:49 |
| ssta | benbloom: depends on your BIOS. Some turn off the onboard when you have a PCIx | 22:49 |
| SoulShadow | most* | 22:50 |
| cypher-neo | grendal-prime, It will run like every other laptop that runs Ubuntu Linux. Just fine, usually, barring any hardware problems unique to your machine. | 22:50 |
| RobinJ | HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! (in 10 minutes :p) | 22:50 |
| grendal-prime | ya, i would like compiz to work is the biggie | 22:50 |
| SoulShadow | as long as it doesn't have BCM4311 | 22:50 |
| RobinJ | WHOOHOO FIREWORKS IM GONE | 22:50 |
| SoulShadow | :D | 22:50 |
| cypher-neo | grendal-prime, What would you like to know specifically? | 22:50 |
| ubluntu | benbloom: you can specify certian busID's for devices if you make an xorg.conf | 22:50 |
| grendal-prime | compiz...or..whatevery they call it now..."desktop effects" i guess | 22:50 |
| cypher-neo | grendal-prime, It's still called Compiz, and yes it runs on Dell. | 22:51 |
| grendal-prime | everythign i google on it is of course old and...well you know im thinking ati drives for it may be better. | 22:51 |
| === Kasparov is now known as k9 | ||
| benbloom | ubluntu: is it possible to override the BIOS with xorg.conf? | 22:51 |
| bencc | what is the command to add a new apt-key? | 22:51 |
| === k9 is now known as rlg | ||
| grendal-prime | not all cypher-neo my mini 10's dont run it | 22:51 |
| ubluntu | benbloom: no. use lspci to see if all your devices show up | 22:52 |
| bencc | this page http://erlyvideo.org/doc/installation#s1 says: wget -q -O - http://debian.erlyvideo.org/binary/gpg.key | apt-key add - | 22:52 |
| caffine | here's what i'm trying to do and how it's failing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789241/ | 22:52 |
| bencc | but I'm getting an error | 22:52 |
| cypher-neo | bencc, "apt-key add" | 22:52 |
| ssta | bencc: what error? | 22:53 |
| bencc | gpg: can't open `': No such file or directory | 22:53 |
| agamemnus | If I get "ld: cannot find -lgcc", how do I fix this? | 22:53 |
| gerinych | can someone suggest me any software that can be used to sync a folder with a samba share? | 22:53 |
| agamemnus | (this is a compiler message) | 22:53 |
| benbloom | ubluntu: unsure. i think not, but here's my lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/789245/ | 22:54 |
| grendal-prime | cypher-neo, i found some on ebay cheep..(relatively) though i Might pick some up to resale with support fees. | 22:54 |
| bencc | ssta: gpg: can't open `': No such file or directory | 22:54 |
| cypher-neo | grendal-prime, Have you tried booting said Dell d610 with a Live CD? You will know almost immediately if compiz works or not. | 22:54 |
| benbloom | it's not listed as a VGA compat dev | 22:54 |
| cypher-neo | grendal-prime, Having a graphics card is always preferable. :) | 22:54 |
| grendal-prime | i dont physically have one in my possesion | 22:54 |
| ssta | benbloom: try it with " ... |sudo apt-key add -" | 22:55 |
| bencc | cypher-neo: how can I tell if the key at http://debian.erlyvideo.org/binary/gpg.key is ok? | 22:55 |
| ubluntu | benbloom: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2) looks like your onboard is disable | 22:55 |
| grendal-prime | cypher-neo, ya no kidding...even then though ive run into problems. | 22:55 |
| cypher-neo | grendal-prime, What kind of problems? | 22:55 |
| grendal-prime | not so much anymore these days..but older equipent...pain. | 22:55 |
| bencc | ssta: works. thanks | 22:55 |
| bencc | cypher-neo: works thanks | 22:56 |
| agamemnus | oh well, maybe later | 22:56 |
| benbloom | not sure what you mean ssta | 22:56 |
| ssta | benbloom: sorry, was a nick completion fubar | 22:56 |
| benbloom | lol. thought i tmight be ssta | 22:56 |
| k4r1m | I'm having an issue with gnoem3, its installed and so as the shell theme but it loading up the old classic theme and not shell for some reason, also there is no themes to select in the gnome tweak tool.. any ideas? | 22:57 |
| benbloom | thanks for looking ubluntu. that is how i read it as well | 22:57 |
| ubluntu | benbloom: so you need to enable it in bios. | 22:57 |
| yumbo | Happy new year everyone :) | 22:57 |
| benbloom | if that's even possibe ubluntu | 22:57 |
| ubluntu | benbloom: I don't see why not ? | 22:57 |
| ssta | it's often not | 22:58 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: install gnome-themes-standard | 22:58 |
| ubluntu | ic my bios has options for. enable if no peg. and enable always | 22:58 |
| ubluntu | running 2 monitors on one x screen with no xinerama my self | 22:59 |
| k4r1m | robin0800: already installed | 22:59 |
| benbloom | i'll look into it. I'm hoping to clone my 1080p monitor via HDMI | 23:00 |
| bencc | ssta: the line of the sources list looks wrong: echo "deb http://debian.erlyvideo.org binary/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:00 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: on log in screen think gnome shell is just gnome but needs even more resources than unity | 23:01 |
| ssta | bencc: it's legal | 23:01 |
| k4r1m | I don't resources is the problem… got plenty | 23:01 |
| ssta | well, pretty sure it is | 23:02 |
| bencc | ok. trying again | 23:02 |
| k4r1m | robin0800: I did get gdm to load up fine | 23:02 |
| Teratogen | wait, what if I WANT a root account? | 23:03 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 23:03 |
| ssta | well, you can set it up if you want. What do you want one for? | 23:03 |
| Teratogen | I like being root | 23:04 |
| Teratogen | =) | 23:04 |
| k4r1m | robin0800: 11.10 | 23:04 |
| Teratogen | what is Unix without root!? | 23:04 |
| ssta | the root account is still there. It's just not enabled for login. You can use "sudo -i" if you like | 23:04 |
| benbloom | one word Teratogen/ sudo | 23:04 |
| ssta | or enable root | 23:04 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: well its lightdm not gdm in 11.10 | 23:04 |
| hot2trot | can anyone tell me where I put .desktop file to make my windows manager come up in ubuntu gdm? | 23:05 |
| k4r1m | robin0800: I reconfigured it. | 23:05 |
| hot2trot | it's apparently NOT /usr/share/sessions | 23:05 |
| Teratogen | ssta, I can understand Ubuntu's philosophy of wanting to protect the unsophisticated user from him/herself | 23:05 |
| Teratogen | but it is just natural for me to su root whenever I bring up a term in Slackware | 23:05 |
| k4r1m | robin0800: also I just tried installing a few themes from webupd8 but they are not showing up in the tweak tool | 23:05 |
| ssta | Teratogen: so do that. It's not hard to enable it | 23:05 |
| Teratogen | well, not on this laptop | 23:06 |
| Teratogen | err, notebook | 23:06 |
| Teratogen | which I am setting up for a friend | 23:06 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: you have to restart the shell to see them | 23:06 |
| xxiao | wonder why spidermonkey is not in lucid... | 23:06 |
| Teratogen | but if I decided to switch from Slackware to Ubuntu as my major distro, I will definitely want to have root | 23:06 |
| Teratogen | s/decided/decide/ | 23:06 |
| k4r1m | robin0800: I did.. numerous times | 23:07 |
| ssta | fine. That's your choice. It's easy to enable if that's what you want to do... | 23:07 |
| k4r1m | I'm going to try changint he themes via gsettings | 23:07 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: think you need dconf editor for that | 23:08 |
| hot2trot | the directory /usr/share/sessions does not exist on my 10.04 install... where can I put ratpoison.desktop so it shows up in my gdm options? | 23:08 |
| k4r1m | weird it worked but it changed the theme something weird and old | 23:08 |
| pnorman | sudo handles 95% of what you need, sudo -i handles another 4.5%, and for the remaining uses, someone doing them should know how to enable root anyways | 23:09 |
| benbloom | Teratogen: all you have to do is 'passwd' to enable su | 23:09 |
| aBound | sudo su to enable root. :P | 23:09 |
| benbloom | well u have to set the password first dont you aBound? | 23:09 |
| k4r1m | I can change the windows theme but not the shell theme since nothing is showing up… to be more clear | 23:09 |
| aBound | benbloom, More or less enter the password after the command. | 23:10 |
| richtroye | Hi, just installled ocelot, I would like to increase my number of workspaces, from the default 4 to what I usually use, 12 | 23:10 |
| k4r1m | robin0800: I don't think gnome-shell is loaded haha | 23:10 |
| haso | Teratogen: sudo bash is the trick.. | 23:10 |
| richtroye | Any suggestions for doing that? The tweak tool doesn't seem to have the option though that tool did let me do focus follows mouse | 23:11 |
| aBound | richardwhiuk, Install the compizconfig manager from within software center. | 23:11 |
| richtroye | k4r1m I shouldn't need gnome-shell for doing that. | 23:11 |
| Maverick | @richtroye, do you have compiz settings manager installed? | 23:11 |
| richtroye | thanks, aBound | 23:11 |
| k4r1m | richtroye: what? | 23:11 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: no shell or extensions or shell themes if you are not in gnome shell | 23:11 |
| richtroye | And yet compiz has seemed to dislike and / or ignore my going beyond 4 workspaces before | 23:12 |
| k4r1m | why is gnome- shell not loading then? any way to manually run it | 23:12 |
| aBound | richardwhiuk, No problem afterwards click on the Unity plugin and go to work | 23:12 |
| richtroye | Still, I'll do it | 23:12 |
| aBound | richtroye, No problem. | 23:12 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: is it in the log in screen list | 23:13 |
| k4r1m | there is 3 selections in the login screen GNOME, GNOME Classic and GNOME Classic no effects | 23:15 |
| k4r1m | I'm using just "GNOME", am I suppose to see GNOME Shell or something? | 23:15 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: gnome is the gnome shell | 23:15 |
| k4r1m | that's what I'm using but no shell is loaded | 23:16 |
| k4r1m | just goes to the old gnome style | 23:16 |
| aBound | k4r1m, Did you install gnome-shell? | 23:16 |
| k4r1m | ofcourse | 23:16 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: if you don't see it it is probably crashing as gnome classic is a fallback | 23:17 |
| k4r1m | hmm video drivers maybe? | 23:17 |
| Fudge | hi how can i use aptitude to hold a package from being upgraded? | 23:17 |
| k4r1m | or is there to load it from the terminal and see the errors? | 23:18 |
| mongy | Fudge: aptitude hold package | 23:18 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: yes try that | 23:18 |
| k4r1m | how lol? | 23:18 |
| Fudge | ok mongy it still appears in the list of packages to be upgraded, is that expected? | 23:19 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: try gnome-shell | 23:19 |
| k4r1m | window manager error: unabe to initalize clutter | 23:20 |
| k4r1m | I might of forgot to install video drivers 1 sec | 23:20 |
| robin0800 | k4r1m: shell uses clutter instead of compiz or metacity and of course different resources | 23:21 |
| aBound | I thought gnome-shell used mutter. | 23:21 |
| richtroye | abound Okay compizconfig is installed. Bringing it up, I don't see anything about workspaces. Do you have a suggestion? | 23:21 |
| k4r1m | robin0800: yeah i think thats the problem, im installing the dirvers right now | 23:22 |
| ivanatwork | HAPPY NEW YEAR ! | 23:22 |
| aBound | richtroye, Yes sir. | 23:23 |
| k4r1m | also was wondering whats a good way to benchmark hd write speed since the disk utility is only capable of benching read speeds | 23:23 |
| aBound | richtroye, Go to general options >> desktop size | 23:23 |
| Autie | Happy New Year from #Belgium to all people | 23:23 |

| mongy | k4r1m: dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync is what I use to test my vps speed | 23:24 |
| robin0800 | not new year in gmt land yet | 23:24 |
| richtroye | abound thanks, I did go there and set number of desktops to 12 but it had been 1 before, and horiz to 4 and vert to 3. No change. Though number had been 1 still had (and have) 4 *workspaces*. | 23:24 |
| richtroye | If you'd like me to log off / on say the word, maybe that'll fix it. | 23:25 |
| mongy | Fudge: did you 'update' as well ? I have used aptitude before and hold works | 23:25 |
| milo_ | Hey everybody | 23:25 |
| Fudge | ill try mongy | 23:25 |
| ivanatwork | milo ;) | 23:25 |
| aBound | richtroye, If you're using gnome-shell it isn't supported by it. But if you use Unity you can use compiz. | 23:26 |
| aBound | richtroye, Make sure you're using unity and the Ubuntu unity plugin. | 23:26 |
| aBound | richtroye, To check press the Windows key + S. Then check how many workspaces you have. | 23:27 |
| k4r1m | hmm after installing the recommended nvidia drivers my system is just hanging on boot now, I cant really see any errors all I see is the system stops | 23:27 |
| Fudge | still appears though mongy i might have to pin it | 23:27 |
| richtroye | I had it working on fedora 16 in the gnome fallback mode. | 23:27 |
| richtroye | Hm, windows + 5 gives Libreoffice | 23:27 |
| richtroye | Perhaps windows + F5 ? | 23:28 |
| aBound | k4r1m, Could be a lightdm bug. But to get a terminal hit ctrl-alt-f1. | 23:28 |
| k4r1m | aBound: and load gdm? | 23:28 |
| milo_ | Hey, does anybody have experience with getting Broadcom integrated wireless to work under Kubuntu? | 23:28 |
| aBound | richtroye, Windows key + S will show the workspaces unless you changed the default. Or if you're using 10.04 LTS might be different. | 23:29 |
| aBound | k4r1m, Sure or type startx to load your desktop. | 23:29 |
| html | hi | 23:29 |
| aBound | k4r1m, nVidia drivers are kinda buggy with lightdm I noticed even if you changed your grub file on 11.10 it might act up. | 23:30 |
| richtroye | Oh, sorry, I did 5 not S. windows + s shows me the four workspaces, same as clicking the workspaces icon | 23:30 |
| k4r1m | aBound: and the fact that I have a 460 makes things worst | 23:30 |
| shawn1 | Ubuntu is detecting only one of my GTX 295 cores. Does anyone know how I can get it to detect both cores? | 23:30 |
| aBound | k4r1m, You could also load lightdm too. | 23:30 |
| aBound | :P | 23:30 |
| mongy | Fudge: try keep | 23:30 |
| Fudge | okey | 23:30 |
| k4r1m | aBound: thanks gdm is loading by default now | 23:31 |
| aBound | k4r1m, sudo service lightdm start. | 23:31 |
| k4r1m | aBound: I just used dpkg-reconfigure gdm ;) | 23:31 |
| k4r1m | awesome shell is loading now thanks guys! | 23:31 |
| aBound | No problem isn't much of a fix but maybe in 12.04 they will fix a few issues. | 23:31 |
| aBound | k4r1m, I have an nVidia 1.5GB 580 GTXM and it still had the same issue like you and my system is only about a week old. | 23:32 |
| aBound | Seems like lightdm is just buggy at the moment it is still relatively new. | 23:33 |
| jrib | In oneiric on a macbook 4,1, « xset s activate » does not turn off the backlight; it just reduces brightness to a minumum. How can I make it turn off the backlight? (Yes, I've executed « xset s blank ») | 23:33 |
| jrib | milo_: just use jockey to install the drivers | 23:33 |
| Fudge | how can i open system settings from the dash or run box, i cant get orca to read the launcher | 23:34 |
| k4r1m | mongy: that doesn't seem to be verry accurate, it's giving me 107 Mb/s… I have a SATA3 SSD my system is booting in about 7 seconds that doesn't make sense | 23:34 |
| aBound | Even though it was released in Sept 2010. :P | 23:34 |
| html | how do i clone my ubuntu and move it to a different machine ? | 23:34 |
| k4r1m | html: dd :D ? | 23:34 |
| html | huh?? whats that? | 23:35 |
| html | k4r1m, what? | 23:35 |
| k4r1m | html: you are trying to clone your hd right? | 23:36 |
| html | well yes | 23:36 |
| k4r1m | connect the other hard drive and use dd | 23:37 |
| ssta | !clone |html | 23:37 |
| ubottu | html: 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 | 23:37 |

| k4r1m | ssta: I think he wants to clone his complete hard disk not just packages | 23:38 |
| ssta | ah....that's trickier | 23:38 |
| html | !automate | 23:38 |

| ubluntu | not really its very easy like k4r1m said use dd | 23:39 |
| ShadowE9899 | data destroyer dd :) | 23:39 |
| Fudge | mayyin1 that's the ticket thanx heaps | 23:39 |
| mongy | k4r1m: well dude, that's what I use to test speeds of disksw | 23:40 |
| tjiggi_fo | k4r1m, he didn't ask to clone his HDD - his original question was: [18:34] <html> how do i clone my ubuntu and move it to a different machine ? | 23:40 |

| html | how do i clone my ubuntu and move it to a different machine ?? | 23:44 |
| mongy | html: clonezilla | 23:45 |
| pythonirc101 | I'm running ubuntu with 2 monitors, and both my monitors just copy the same thing. How can I fix this? | 23:45 |
| html | can i use it with windows to? | 23:45 |
| willwork4foo | pythonirc101: check in settings for mirroring. Turn it off. | 23:45 |
| willwork4foo | pythonirc101: display settings | 23:46 |
| mikere | pythonirc101: if you are using nvidia drivers, then just chnage the settings in Nvidia Xserver Settings (in System--> Administration) | 23:46 |
| mongy | html: it's a livecd/liveusb you boot into | 23:46 |
| mongy | html: it backs up disks/partitions of any format | 23:47 |
| mikere | of course with linux you can just use dd to backup a drive, but it's not really for the faint of heart | 23:48 |
| Guest34210 | any at&t user recommend na adsl modem? | 23:48 |
| shawn1 | Sorry | 23:48 |
| shawn1 | my computer just crashed | 23:48 |
| shawn1 | I'm using the GTX 295 for CUDA | 23:48 |
| shawn1 | and it was ending a work unit | 23:48 |
| mongy | dd copies every used and unused byte | 23:49 |
| shawn1 | like I said, only one core seems to be detected | 23:49 |
| mikere | nothing like an exact copy =) | 23:49 |
| mongy | dd is a nice tool, but for partition images, no really | 23:49 |
| pythonirc101 | mikere: is there a system command for it? | 23:49 |
| robin0800 | html: in ubuntu 11.10 there is a backup tool | 23:49 |
| ShadowE9899 | dd, thats the command | 23:50 |
| mongy | mikere: I personally don't want an exact copy since my other comp has a larger drive.. I don't need it to make that partition smaller | 23:50 |
| mikere | pythonirc101: just use that live cd mongy recommended or robin0800's suggestion - dd really isn't the best idea | 23:50 |
| pythonirc101 | just need to know how to do this using command line -- http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/08/ubuntu-tips-how-to-setup-dual-monitor/ | 23:51 |
| ssta | mongy: do a clean install, clone the packages installed, and backup /home (should be fine for most use cases) | 23:51 |
| mikere | mongy: I wasn't really suggesting it as a good solution - just that it's a possibility | 23:51 |
| html | robin0800, im on 10.10 , and i hear its a bit slow for my atom powered netbook | 23:51 |
| mongy | mikere: I welcome all suggestions, but this aint for me | 23:51 |

| mongy | have to go do that 'new year ritual' in about 8 mins | 23:53 |
| MaxHR | I get that message on some webistes, and also a similar message when trying to install new packages | 23:53 |
| mikere | pythonirc101: here's a link to someone's idea of command line backup for linux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 | 23:53 |

| ubluntu | pythonirc101: do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 23:54 |
| pythonirc101 | yes | 23:55 |

| shawn1 | in fact, the NVIDIA X Server Settings only recognizes one core | 23:57 |
| ubluntu | pythonirc101: this is some sort of virtualization ? | 23:57 |
| pythonirc101 | yes, its running inside virtual box | 23:57 |
| vsync_ | mmm | 23:57 |
| vsync_ | shawn1 I had similar problems with my 295 GTX for ~2 years | 23:58 |
| shawn1 | did you ever find a solution? | 23:58 |
| vsync_ | Are you getting NVIDIA WAIT 1,6 and 2,6 (or similar) in xorglog? | 23:58 |
| shawn1 | uhmm....where's xorglog? | 23:59 |
| vsync_ | also, in kern.log are you getting "GPU at (xxx) has fallen off the bus. ? | 23:59 |
| ubluntu | pythonirc101: well if you want seperate screens you can make new monitor and screen sections using monitor 1 instead of 0. | 23:59 |
| shawn1 | is that in /etc/X11? | 23:59 |
| Chr|s | mongy, thanks | 23:59 |
| vsync_ | well /var/log/Xorg.0.log ... but in your case you might wanna check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | 23:59 |
| ubluntu | pythonirc101: keep the 0 parts but make new ones for 1 also do you know what I mean ? | 23:59 |
