| d1g1ta1 | Kiten: great analogy, and exactly my point, if I move /usr/bin to the USB drive, things will break when the USB drive is not present. What is the *NIX equivalent for D:\program files? | 00:00 |
| Kiten | Toph2, ahh | 00:00 |
| maheanuu_ | Bonne Fete pour tois aussi | 00:00 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, uhh don't move /usr/bin to usb drive just make a that dir tree on the flash drive | 00:00 |
| Kiten | or whatever you want to call it | 00:01 |

| d1g1ta1 | Kiten: how do you mean | 00:01 |
| maheanuu_ | I can boot, I was doing some dj work and building disks for handing out to everyone that comes by yesterday and today but I cant read or write to anything | 00:02 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, uhh moving your /usr/bin to usb would brick your system | 00:02 |
| Kiten | *correction OS | 00:02 |
| Kiten | as it would software related not hardware ;p | 00:02 |
| Kiten | unless you were reading from a tape drive | 00:02 |
| escott | d1g1ta1, you are assuming that if you move something from c:\program files that it will work on windows which isn't always true. usually a program looks for libraries and in a particular place, but if your path is correct a well written binary should be runnable from anywhere | 00:03 |
| d1g1ta1 | Kiten: yes, so what are you suggesting I do then. | 00:03 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, make a folder on the usb called /usb then make one inside called usr and inside that bin | 00:03 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, then add it to your path | 00:03 |
| d1g1ta1 | escott: if I could get half my programs to install on the USB drive that would be a big improvement | 00:03 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, like this PATH=$PATH:/media/usb/usr/bin | 00:04 |
| escott | d1g1ta1, why are you doing this? | 00:04 |
| maheanuu_ | I boot fine, I cannot mount the cd drive or play a mp3 or wav or anything on it nor can I burn anything using K3b or any of the other burning programs nor can I play anything using any of the players VLC Alsa etcdf | 00:04 |
| d1g1ta1 | Kiten: got it. and then how do I instruct the package manager or command line make etc utilities to install new programs in /usb/usr/bin ? | 00:05 |
| === amine is now known as pioneer_for | ||
| maheanuu_ | Is there a way to look at it using the terminal? | 00:05 |
| d1g1ta1 | escott: security, disk space, etc | 00:05 |
| === jono is now known as Guest14411 | ||
| d1g1ta1 | escott: tiny HD, giant USB | 00:05 |
| maheanuu_ | amine, where are you??? I am in French Polynesia | 00:05 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, well there is either an ENV var or a config file but i can't remember how to do it | 00:05 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, how tiny are you talking ? | 00:06 |
| d1g1ta1 | too small for my 20 programs + data I need to install | 00:06 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, i've got a puny little 8gb in my 733 | 00:06 |
| escott | d1g1ta1, not sure how it helps security, but if you are concerned about space then look to set the usb as a mountpoint for something like /usr/local or /usr/games. in the past /usr could be its own mountpoint, but thats increasingly harder (and you won't get a bootable system without the usb) | 00:07 |
| sprinklz | can someone look over a few lines of cron for me to make sure i did it right? | 00:08 |
| dyd___ | goodnight and thank you all for helping | 00:08 |
| d1g1ta1 | escott: yes, that's what I'm worried about... do you know how to make the package manager or make etc to install there? | 00:08 |
| escott | d1g1ta1, the thing to do is use the disk analyzer (or du) to figure out what is using the most space and is least critical and create a separate mount point for that | 00:08 |
| escott | d1g1ta1, you can always use a --prefix-dir when running ./configure if you are building by hand | 00:08 |
| d1g1ta1 | escott: I'm good if I just don't install anything more on the internal drive... | 00:08 |
| kylesmith | It's been 20 minutes, so I'm going to ask my question again: I'm having trouble accessing my encrypted home directory from another computer. ecryptfs-mount-private is supposed to prompt me for a password, but it returns me directly back to the console without printing any errors or any other information. How can I get this to work? | 00:08 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, i can tell you from experience that browsers eat the most space | 00:08 |
| d1g1ta1 | Kiten: I would love to put the browser on the USB | 00:09 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, firefox is like 200 mb same with chromium, the thing to do is if you don't need a gui is to use lynx | 00:09 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, they have a portable version somewhere | 00:09 |
| d1g1ta1 | escott: oh, so ./configure --prefix-dir ? | 00:09 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, thats if you are compiling from source | 00:10 |
| Kiten | that will not affect your package manager | 00:10 |
| === root is now known as Guest84702 | ||
| Guest84702 | g | 00:10 |
| escott | d1g1ta1, ./configure --prefix=/usr/local and then set your fstab to mount the usb on /usr/local | 00:10 |
| escott | d1g1ta1, when you make install everything will be installed under /usr/local | 00:10 |
| Guest84702 | . | 00:11 |
| sprinklz | crontabs help? | 00:11 |
| === svndr is now known as SVNDR | ||
| Kiten | d1g1ta1: but like i said it won't affect your package manager | 00:11 |
| escott | sprinklz, just send us the line | 00:12 |
| Resistance | sprinklz: what type of help do you need with crontabs? | 00:12 |
| d1g1ta1 | escott: is there a way to make it go to /usb/usr/bin ? | 00:12 |
| Kiten | Guest84702, did you need something ? :P | 00:12 |
| escott | d1g1ta1, sure just change the prefix. /usr/local is the traditional label is all | 00:13 |
| d1g1ta1 | Kiten: I will look for that, that will certainly help. So is there a way to tell the package manager to download and install something on /usb/usr/bin ? | 00:13 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: im at the ubuntu loading screen, and because my USB disk vibrates when you plug or unplug it, its constantly vibrating.. how long does it normally take to load? this time its not patience, i dont want to break my usb lol | 00:14 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, there is but i can't recall whether you could set an env var or if it was a config file | 00:14 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, uhhh thats a weird usb drive | 00:14 |
| Kiten | SVDR what are your system specs ? | 00:14 |
| Kiten | on my netbook took around 20 - 30 secs to completely at the desktop boot | 00:15 |
| d1g1ta1 | escott: so in my case, can I do ./configure --prefix=/usb/usr/bin ? | 00:15 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, yes | 00:15 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: yes it is lol exspensive though.. um about 3GB ram.. 32bit.. cant remember the rest lol | 00:15 |
| escott | d1g1ta1, yes | 00:15 |
| Kiten | SVNDR well 3gb of ram will definitely not hurt | 00:16 |
| Kiten | SVNDR you should at the worst boot in 1-3 minutes | 00:16 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, if you chose to jump straight to the installer that will take a little more time | 00:17 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: is it supposed to be unplugging and plugging the usb in though? well i chose 'install to harddrive' | 00:17 |
| Kiten | SVNDR ???? did you meant its mounting and unmounting or is it physically removing and plugging itself in ???? | 00:18 |
| Kiten | *mean | 00:18 |
| SVNDR | mounting and unmountig lol | 00:18 |
| SVNDR | no ghostly stuff | 00:18 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: (initramfs) Unable to find medium containing live file system.. | 00:19 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, lol its not suppose to | 00:19 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, and that would explain that error there | 00:20 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, did you use the desktop iso or the usb iso ? | 00:20 |
| Kiten | *not sure what i meant there | 00:20 |
| SVNDR | USB? | 00:20 |
| Kiten | SVNDR like i said not sure what i mean there | 00:21 |
| Kiten | :p | 00:21 |
| Kiten | *meant | 00:21 |
| SVNDR | ii downloaded the ISO for windows and used USB to install.. lol | 00:21 |
| Kiten | hmm i got the iso from ubuntu's site then used universal usb creator to make mine liveUSB | 00:22 |
| diverdude | i am trying to install packages for ubuntu apache2 for a long time now but i get this error: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/500305249 it is very frstrating...what am I missing? | 00:22 |
| Kiten | SVNDR reboot and this time if you see a check disk for defects use it | 00:22 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: same here. | 00:22 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: ok | 00:22 |
| Kiten | your usb might not have copied correctly | 00:23 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, you all good ? | 00:23 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: alright will ill try that now | 00:23 |
| Kiten | SVNDR mmk after that try to boot live (ie choose to try ubuntu) | 00:24 |
| SVNDR | well* | 00:24 |
| SVNDR | ok | 00:24 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: slight problem, now its stuck on a blank screen not going anywhere lol | 00:25 |
| d1g1ta1 | Kiten: can I install the developer libraries this way also? | 00:25 |
| Kiten | give it a minute or 2 | 00:25 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, yeah when you do the configure prefix thing it will copy any necessary libraries to an appropriate folder | 00:26 |
| sumosu | aaah kernel compiling makes my cpus nice and warm. better than coco and marshmallows in this season :) | 00:27 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, if you meant like independent libs then i'd also create /usb/usr/libs too and add that to your path | 00:27 |
| diverdude | i am trying to install packages for ubuntu apache2 for a long time now but i get this error: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/500305249 it is very frstrating...what am I missing? | 00:27 |
| === monk is now known as Guest24969 | ||
| Kiten | diverdude try sudo apt-get check | 00:28 |
| diverdude | Kiten, it did not help | 00:29 |
| Kiten | sudo apt-get update | 00:29 |
| diverdude | Kiten, also not | 00:29 |
| rypervenche | diverdude: What distro and version are you using, and are you using any PPAs? | 00:29 |
| diverdude | rypervenche, 11.10 and not using ppa | 00:29 |
| Kiten | sudo apt-get -f install | 00:30 |
| Kiten | diverdude, apt-get update was to make sure your cache was up to date | 00:30 |
| Kiten | that last one will attempt to fix your broken packages | 00:30 |
| bfri | what ubuntu flavour is best for a pentium III? | 00:31 |
| diverdude | rypervenche, its because i want to compile php 5.4 and in order to do that i need to bundle it with apache2 and mysql...which requires this apxs file from apache to build apache modules....Apparantly that binary does not come with ubuntu so im trying to install it but it does not work | 00:31 |
| d1g1ta1 | Kiten: can the USB drive be formatted with FAT? | 00:31 |
| Kiten | d1g1ta1, yeah | 00:31 |
| rypervenche | bfri: There is no "best", use whichever you like. | 00:32 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: from BIOS, should i be selecting USB HDD: Softstick-(USB 2.0) ? | 00:32 |
| rhizmoe | i was getting (common) opengl errors with sketchup 8 under wine, is 7 generally better in this environment? | 00:32 |
| diverdude | rypervenche, what should i do? | 00:32 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, you have USB FDD ? | 00:33 |
| Kurdistan | hi I am trying to help a user in one of our locos. the mouse is detected by lsusb but not working. | 00:33 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: yes | 00:33 |
| Kurdistan | what should the user do? | 00:33 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, does it state any drive next to it ? | 00:33 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: nah its blank | 00:33 |
| rypervenche | diverdude: Do what Kiten said to do. "sudo apt-get check" and "sudo apt-get -f install" | 00:33 |
| Kurdistan | I have searched on the internet with no luck | 00:33 |
| diverdude | Kiten, but if there is some problem will -f (force) it not potentially make it much worse? | 00:34 |
| Kiten | diverdude, no -f is fix | 00:34 |
| Kiten | it used to be --fix-missing | 00:34 |
| bfri | rypervenche, i'm having trouble with 10,04 alternative, would that be due to compatibility? | 00:34 |
| Kiten | diverdude, apt-get --help shows all the possible flags | 00:34 |
| Kiten | SVNDR is that the only USB xxx with a label ? | 00:34 |
| diverdude | Kiten, i still get the error | 00:35 |
| rypervenche | bfri: It could be a lot of things. What kind of problems are you having? | 00:35 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: yea sure is | 00:35 |
| Kiten | SVNDR then yeah use that | 00:35 |
| Kiten | diverdude, did you add any other sources ? | 00:35 |
| zabomber | so i want the mail command in ubuntu to be able to send external mail? How do i accomplish this? | 00:35 |
| Kiten | or install anything from the unstable repo ? | 00:36 |
| Kurdistan | sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/bus/usb <<--- can this be a solution? | 00:36 |
| rypervenche | diverdude: type "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit" | 00:36 |
| diverdude | Kiten, yeah but for other things...long time ago | 00:36 |
| Kiten | diverdude do what rypervenche said | 00:36 |
| Zarathu | What is the purpose of @ in file permissions? -rw-r--r--@ | 00:36 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: it booted straight to windows (not what it did the first time) | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Kurdistan: /dev is in tempfs so the change will be lost on reboot | 00:37 |
| trism | rypervenche: Kiten diverdude there is nothing wrong with the sources, the two packages conflict on each other (they provide the same files) | 00:37 |
| escott | Zarathu, ACL extended attributes i think you need to look at the file with lsattr | 00:37 |
| Kiten | diverdude, then sudo apt-get purge apache2 | 00:37 |
| RenatoSilva | Zarathu: I think it's not part of a file permission | 00:37 |
| Kurdistan | ActionParsnip, okey. have you any idea? | 00:38 |
| diverdude | Kiten, here is my output: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1037697207 | 00:38 |
| Zarathu | escott: I'm on OS X. | 00:38 |
| diverdude | Kiten, what does the purge do | 00:38 |
| escott | Zarathu, then ask in the osx channel | 00:38 |
| Zarathu | RenatoSilva: It's on a single file in the entire directory--just a bunch of images. Driving me crazy, not knowing what's up with that file. :P | 00:38 |
| Kiten | diverdude, your sources list is fine | 00:38 |
| Zarathu | escott: No. | 00:38 |
| bfri | rypervenche, when i go to install ubuntu on the computer right after the disk boots and i choose my language and 'install ubunut' it just kind of freezes on the backround | 00:39 |
| Kiten | diverdude, it removes anything related to apache2(specifically whatever you've installed thats been tagged as apache2) | 00:39 |
| RenatoSilva | Zarathu: no idea what's that, sorry | 00:39 |
| diverdude | Kiten, but wont ii be needing that? | 00:39 |
| Kiten | diverdude, you can reinstall them | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Zarathu: http://blog.anselmbradford.com/2008/12/24/what-is-the-significance-of-plus-and-at-in-mac-os-x-file-permission-tables/ | 00:40 |
| diverdude | Kiten, what about all my config files then and all that | 00:40 |
| Kiten | diverdude, back them up to another directory | 00:40 |
| Zarathu | ActionParsnip: Thanks. \:D/ | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Zarathu: all I did was websearch... | 00:40 |
| trism | diverdude: there is no need to do that, just install one of them (I imagine the one that matches the apache2 mpm you have installed) | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Kurdistan: if you unplug it then plug it in, is it ok? | 00:41 |
| diverdude | trism, i have the apache2 from ubuntu repo | 00:41 |
| diverdude | trism, which mpm is that? | 00:41 |
| sywisy | What is command to rename a directory? | 00:41 |
| Kurdistan | ActionParsnip, it is not for me. I help one ubuntu user in our loco. | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sywisy: mv name newname | 00:41 |
| Kiten | sywisy, mv dirname newdirname | 00:42 |
| Kurdistan | I do think he/she have done that | 00:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Kurdistan: same thing applies though, doesn't it | 00:42 |
| stepnjump | I have two swaps. When the first swap is not available, I would like for the second swap (in priority) to take over. How could I configure that? | 00:42 |
| sywisy | Thanks | 00:42 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: my puter booted straight to windows and not the ubuntu setup | 00:42 |
| trism | diverdude: there are several, try: dpkg -l 'apache2*'; and see which one is installed | 00:42 |
| sywisy | Is there any way to make a file undeletable? Even by its owner? | 00:42 |
| Kurdistan | ActionParsnip, I think the user have. I asked if it have been working before and the answer was no. | 00:42 |
| cindy_ | install java on the terminal | 00:42 |
| escott | sywisy, you would have to change the permissions on the folder, but root can always delete it | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Kurdistan: what is the make and model of the device, if it has one? | 00:43 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, sorry i forgot, hmm what does your boot order look like ? also reboot and push f12 that should bring your boot menu up if it doesn't its probably f10 | 00:43 |
| Kiten | *boot list | 00:43 |

| ActionParsnip | cindy_: what is the output of: uname -m | 00:43 |
| cindy_ | i dont understand | 00:43 |
| Kiten | kylesmith, check dmesg for errors related to accessing your folder | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: its a terminal command, run it, what is output | 00:44 |

| ActionParsnip | cindy_: I never said sudo | 00:44 |
| Kiten | bfri, yeah i've got one too, did you use a live cd ? | 00:44 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: no prob, waited till u werent busy lol.. um ill i changed in the boot list was USB2.0. moved it from 8 to 1 | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: again. what is the output of: uname -m | 00:44 |
| diverdude | trism, yeah you solved the issue. thank you | 00:45 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: it worked last restart | 00:45 |
| cindy_ | i dont know help me here understand what your asking please | 00:45 |
| Kiten | SVNDR your bios might be weird and the last entry might actually be first on the order | 00:45 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, but a sure fire way when you reboot push f12 till you here beeping | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: open a terminal and run: uname -m what is output. It's literally that simple | 00:45 |
| diverdude | trism, do you know where apxs is located then | 00:46 |
| Kiten | that should bring your bios boot menu up and it will let you choose a device to boot from | 00:46 |
| Bunie | whats the closest thing to notepad that comes with ubuntu? i need to save a document with no formating or anything | 00:46 |
| escott | Bunie, gedit | 00:46 |
| trism | diverdude: /usr/bin/apxs2 it seems | 00:46 |
| Kiten | cindy_, go to applications then accessories then click terminal and type what ActionParsnip said in | 00:46 |
| Bunie | Thanks | 00:46 |
| cindy_ | i686 | 00:46 |
| sywisy | escott, my bad, you're right. Sticky bit is for when you want files to be editable but not deletable | 00:47 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: do you mean BIOS? mine it F1. thats what i did just then, but it still booted to windows | 00:47 |
| diverdude | trism, ahh yes | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: thanks | 00:47 |
| SVNDR | is* | 00:47 |
| kylesmith | Kiten: I cleared dmesg, ran ecryptfs-mount-private again, but there's nothing in dmesg | 00:47 |
| bfri | bunie; not sure | 00:47 |
| bfri | kiten: yes | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/791174/ | 00:47 |
| cindy_ | no problem now what do i do | 00:47 |
| Kiten | SVNDR did it take it a minute to boot to windows as in was there a pause that wasn't there normally ? | 00:47 |
| Bunie | bfri: with pentium 3, theres a chance you dont meet ram requirements for ubuntu | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: run those commands line by line, ignore the top line | 00:47 |
| escott | sywisy, sticky bit is for shared (temp mostly) folders. where you want all users to be able to create files, but not to be able to modify other peoples files | 00:47 |
| bfri | kiten what flavour do you use? | 00:47 |
| hiexpo | cindy_, you wanna install sun java 6 | 00:47 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: yes, about 2 mins or so | 00:47 |
| stepnjump | I have two swaps. When the first swap is not available, I would like for the second swap (in priority) to take over. How could I configure that? actionparsnip, any idea? | 00:48 |
| bfri | bunie how do i check? | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: that lot gives oracle (not sun anymore) java 7 | 00:48 |
| Kiten | Bunie, on my p3 i use ubuntu but i installed fluxbox as a window manager | 00:48 |
| diverdude | trism, do you know if i make install php then, will it overwrite my existing php? | 00:48 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, oh | 00:48 |
| escott | stepnjump, that should happen automatically | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | stepnjump: I believe swap space is detected and enabled by default | 00:48 |
| Kiten | i have a hp p3 with 256 and it runs ubuntu just fine as long as i use fluxbox | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | fluxbox rocks | 00:48 |
| Kiten | kylesmith, you might have a configuration issue | 00:48 |
| bfri | kiten what is fluxbox? | 00:48 |
| Bunie | Kiten: he will still have difficulties installing :P | 00:49 |
| kylesmith | Kiten: okay, how can I determine if that is the problem? | 00:49 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, i guess i need to upgrade | 00:49 |
| Bunie | Kiten: I assume P3 computers have 64 to 256MB of ram | 00:49 |
| Kiten | bfri, fluxbox is a window manager/ Desktop Environment and its much more lightweight than gnome(which is what ubuntu uses by default) | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: it's a handy script ;) | 00:49 |
| cindy_ | says file not found | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | bfri: its a desktop WM but can also run without a DE | 00:50 |
| Bunie | Xubuntu or lubuntu are pretty light weight :P | 00:50 |
| Kiten | Bunie, yeah most have 256mb though its pretty tough to find one with a 64 stick unless they never upgraded | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: which file? | 00:50 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: booting to windows took a while, about 2minutes longer then normal. so yes there was a pause | 00:50 |
| cindy_ | yes i want to install sun java 6 | 00:50 |
| stepnjump | escott and ActionParsnip yes you are right.. I just remembered I swapoff -a then forgot to swapon after. Thanks guys | 00:50 |
| bfri | actionparsnip what is wm and de? | 00:50 |
| Kiten | SVNDR then you need to remake your live usb | 00:50 |
| Bunie | Kiten: Even still, i think the Ubuntu installer will freeze with 256 | 00:50 |
| bfri | kiten where can i find an iso to make a live cd? | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: that lot gives you oracle (sun doesn't own java now) java 7 | 00:50 |
| cindy_ | http://ubuntu.com/71174 | 00:50 |
| Kiten | Bunie, i've used it succefully its slower than crap | 00:50 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, looking nowto upgrade > still using 10.04 | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | bfri: its a WM, but can run without DE | 00:51 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: ok | 00:51 |
| Bunie | :P | 00:51 |
| Kiten | bfri, www.ubuntu.com | 00:51 |
| cindy_ | okay how do you install oracle | 00:51 |
| Bunie | Oracle? :s | 00:51 |
| Kiten | kylesmith, sorry i didn't forget you but i'm not particularly smart when it comes to encrypted partitions | 00:51 |
| Bunie | You mean Java? or open office? or something? :S | 00:51 |
| Bunie | virtual box? | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: http://pastie.org/3115545 | 00:51 |
| hiexpo | http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html | 00:51 |
| Bunie | Oh java | 00:51 |
| Bunie | :p | 00:51 |
| Bunie | doesnt that come with ubuntu now or somethin? | 00:52 |
| Kiten | kylesmith, i can debug all day long but i cant fix anything with out having a starting point the folks in #linux would probably be more knowledgeable | 00:52 |
| cindy_ | yes i just got a message saying sun doesnt own java | 00:52 |
| bfri | bunie i dont see it | 00:52 |
| Oer | that link from hiexpo also handles java 6 | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: kinda messy | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: they don't. Its owned by oracle now | 00:52 |
| Bunie | bfri: Are you trying to find the ISO>? | 00:52 |
| bfri | yes | 00:52 |
| cindy_ | okay how do install this to my computer somebody | 00:52 |
| bfri | i am currently running win 98 | 00:52 |
| sumosu | i have a problem: i removed a usb stick (full install, no persistatn mode) while my laptop was in suspend mode and then wrote 5 gigs of data to the stick. plugged it back in and woke it up. fsck (or similar) complained and "fixed" the boot drive (usb stick). the data i put there was available in lost+found folder, but deleting them did not free the memory | 00:52 |
| Kiten | bfri, its under downloads on ubuntu.com | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: I gave you the commads, just run them in order | 00:53 |
| Bunie | bfri: www.ubuntu.com/download | 00:53 |
| escott | cindy_, oracle purchased sun, and oracle is dropping the sun code in favor of openjdk apache project for the next version of java | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: from top to bottom, one after the other | 00:53 |
| cindy_ | i did and i did not let me | 00:53 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: i swear their used to be a way you could just download ubuntu as an exe file and it would do all this its self.. or am i rong? lol | 00:53 |
| escott | SVNDR, i think you mean wubi | 00:54 |
| bfri | bunie i only see as late as 10.04 | 00:54 |
| hiexpo | cindy_, why not what was the errors you recieved | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: http://pastie.org/3115545 | 00:54 |
| SVNDR | escott: nah i never used wubi.. i just dont remember this process when i did it last time | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: it worked for me less than an hour ago | 00:54 |
| SVNDR | escott: is wubi simpler? | 00:54 |
| kylesmith | Kiten: that's okay. I don't know how I can have a configuration issue. When I installed ubuntu on my laptop, I clicked the checkbox to encrypt my home directory. Laptop dies -> put hard drive in desktop. From nautilus (on my desktop), I click the graphical icon to mount my laptop hard drive, cd to /home/myusername and when I run ecrypt-mount-private nothing happens... | 00:55 |
| Kiten | SVNDR you can use wubi | 00:55 |
| escott | SVNDR, i dont recommend wubi in general. but it does have a windows executable | 00:55 |
| hiexpo | wubi = way to the dumpster | 00:55 |
| sywisy | escott, that's not true. Sticky bits only affects user's ability to delete/rename existing files, they can modify. I can give you code if you want | 00:55 |
| === enchilado is now known as PolarPanda | ||
| Kiten | escott, why not ? | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: or run: cd; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/install32bitJava; chmod +x ./install32bitJava; sudo ./install32bitJava | 00:55 |
| Bunie | bfri: http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=latest | 00:56 |
| SVNDR | I might try wubi, for now, just for the simplicity i guess, might by another USB i think this one is dodgey lol | 00:56 |
| hiexpo | that will work | 00:56 |
| bfri | bunie that is 11.10 | 00:56 |
| Bunie | bfri: isnt that what you want? | 00:56 |
| bfri | bunie i'm currently trying to install 10.04 and its not working | 00:57 |
| * ActionParsnip loves his java script :) | 00:57 | |
| tomtiger11 | SVNDR: Try burning a disk, it works better ( if you have some handy) | 00:57 |
| trism | diverdude: it probably won't since they generally default to /usr/local when manually compiling, but I would uninstall the repo php before manually installing (just to keep things clean) | 00:57 |
| bfri | bunie i would think an earlier version would be better no? | 00:57 |
| SVNDR | tomtiger11: nope thats why im doing it this way, no disks | 00:57 |
| Bunie | bfri: Dont think so. :P | 00:57 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, you can get a 4gb for about 6-8 $ now ;p | 00:57 |
| escott | sywisy, i think we are saying the same thing. sticky bit is for temp directory. i want you to be able to create a file in /tmp and delete it myself, but i dont want you to be able to delete or rename my file | 00:57 |
| bfri | bunie so you're saying 11.10 works on ur pen III just fine? | 00:57 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, need to get rid of others first though ? | 00:58 |
| tomtiger11 | SVNDR: Aha! Do you have any other os installed? | 00:58 |
| Kiten | bfri, i'd recommend 9.04 but 9.04 is kind of old | 00:58 |
| escott | Kiten, i don't like the idea of having a ntfs loopback for the root fs. i think a vm makes more sense | 00:58 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: my one is 10gb, has all pretty lights and it vibrates...(kind of pointless) lol | 00:58 |
| sumosu | oh i fixed my problem. moving files from lost+found to the trashbin didnt help obviously lol | 00:58 |
| diverdude | trism, i would like to have both installed actually so that i can switch back because i dont know if me different libs will be compatible with 5.4, and so i want to be able to switch back...eg. xdebug i dont know if it will run with 5.4 | 00:58 |
| Kiten | SVNDR, lol 10gb is kinda an odd number for a usb drive | 00:58 |
| hiexpo | remove other jre | 00:58 |
| Kiten | 16gb makes more sense | 00:58 |
| bfri | kiten which 8.something was an LST? | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: nar it's fine. It gets added as 81 which will add it just fine | 00:59 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: yea i think its chinese.. | 00:59 |
| SVNDR | lol | 00:59 |
| Kiten | bfri, no 9.04 i think 9.10 was lts | 00:59 |
| tomtiger11 | SVNDR: If you have windows installed, use a virtual drive | 00:59 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: nah 10, thats what it says haha | 00:59 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, i just noticed thatts for chrome though | 00:59 |
| trism | diverdude: I don't really do much with php and apache, so probably better to direct further questions to the channel | 00:59 |
| Bunie | bfri: you need to pick something more light weight then Ubuntu, i doubt your PC has the ram. however you can also try this if your feeling brave enough http://goo.gl/l0wqb | 01:00 |
| Kiten | escott, yeah but a vm is more heavy than a looback | 01:00 |
| cindy_ | none of those commands are working | 01:00 |

| Kiten | Bunie, its nearly un heard of | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: unlucky | 01:01 |
| Bunie | Kiten: ubuntu installer requires over 300MB of ram | 01:01 |
| sumosu | sten2: should be no prob unless you hibernate to the swap disk | 01:01 |
| Kiten | Bunie, it will run with 256 i've done it | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: if you symlink to ~/.mozilla/plugins it will work | 01:01 |
| Bunie | Kiten: i still think he has 64 or 128 | 01:01 |
| hiexpo | kk ActionParsnip | 01:01 |
| cindy_ | hello i need help here | 01:01 |
| Kiten | bfri, i'd recommned lubuntu or linux mint | 01:01 |
| sten2 | sumosu: thanks | 01:02 |
| === svndr is now known as SVNDR | ||
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: the command I gave you earler will download my script and install java for you | 01:02 |

| Bunie | bfri: Yeh i dont think ubuntu is a good idea even if you had 256MB of ram | 01:02 |

| Bunie | viator: I linked him to it http://goo.gl/l0wqb | 01:02 |
| viator | For 256 or less | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: just copy the line I gave, paste it to a terminal and hit ENTER and it will install it for you. | 01:02 |
| cindy_ | okay maybe i am doing it wrong, cuz i have done everything you told me and nothing here] | 01:02 |

| ActionParsnip | cindy_: copy the text, don't click the link | 01:03 |
| tomtiger11 | ActionParsnip: Did you give her an apt get command | 01:03 |
| cindy_ | i did that and it did not work please dont get mad | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | tomtiger11: yes it uses unp :) | 01:04 |

| ActionParsnip | cindy_: can you pastebin the output of the command please | 01:04 |
| cindy_ | yes i can | 01:04 |

| === ddsr is now known as Guest88382 | ||

| Kiten | kylesmith, or you could ask on ubuntu forums | 01:19 |
| urlin2u | dagerik, where does it say that it still had this cd.... a permanent burn is a unlikely. | 01:19 |
| * tnk1 is away: Gone away for now | 01:20 | |
| dagerik | urlin2u: Nautilus reports it as a CD. And when I run mount I can see it is iso9660. When I try to mount manually with rw(read write) I get the error: file system is read only. | 01:20 |
| kylesmith | Kiten: yeah... I don't have much faith in ubuntu forums. Every time I search google and ubuntu forums comes up, it's one original post and a series of bumps going nowhere, or a link to a blog that supposedly has step by step instructions, which when followed, do absolutely nothing for your particular system. ... but I may end up trying it. | 01:21 |

| escott | juan_, save that file as $HOME/bin/startwireless.sh, and then open a terminal and type chmod +x ~/bin/startwireless.sh | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bfri: lxde is a desktop, openbox is a window manager | 01:32 |
| juan_ | ahhh i got it | 01:32 |
| cindy_ | did i pic the right one | 01:32 |
| bfri | actionparsnip there is no we in lubuntu right? | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bfri: openbox is the WM | 01:33 |
| linux_is_my_hero | i can't get my windows computer to go to secure sites without giving me a warning about invalid security certificates | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: what image please? I just searched the page and found no link to an image | 01:33 |
| bfri | actionparsnip: i see and what actually is that in ubuntu what is that actually in the GUI? | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: windows isn't supported here | 01:33 |
| cindy_ | i dont know what that means | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | bfri: the WM draws the windows, compiz is a WM | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: (01:32:22) cindy_: yes and i pic # 2 which pic? | 01:34 |
| bfri | actionparsnip: so what does that in lubuntu? | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: there isn't even a pic #1 | 01:34 |
| escott | juan_, if you want these commands run on every boot you can put them in /etc/rc.local, and if you want it on every login add it to gnome-session-properties | 01:34 |
| cindy_ | i picked #2 | 01:34 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: luckily its my gfs computer, and not mine...any suggestions? | 01:34 |
| viator | You need to restart browser after Java install or the plugins don't work | 01:34 |
| sumosu | i'm using gnome/openbox on my netbook. its noticably quicker and looks kind of the same | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | bfri: openbox, but it doesn't do all the dumb compiz effects, its a no nonsense WM | 01:34 |
| juan_ | escott, http://pastebin.com/AXQjGK0q | 01:35 |
| cindy_ | how do i restart browser | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: ask in ##windows | 01:35 |
| juan_ | since they need sudo, i dont know if it will be correct. | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: close the browsers and then reopen | 01:35 |
| cindy_ | how | 01:35 |
| bfri | actionparsnip: i see so would you say thats the main dif between the two? | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: the cross in the top left of the screen | 01:35 |
| cindy_ | im knew to this guys so be patient | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bfri: lubuntu is a billion times slicker and lighter | 01:35 |
| cindy_ | yes i see it | 01:36 |
| escott | juan_, you cant have sudo commands in a script that you double click it wont work. you need to add these commands (without the sudo) to /etc/rc.local. in fact if all you are doing is loading modules you should be modifying /etc/modules | 01:36 |
| angela- | cindy the red button | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: I have repeatedly asked for the output of my command, ouo haven't given it. Its nothing to do with newness to the OS | 01:36 |
| cindy_ | yes i see | 01:36 |
| escott | juan_, im not sure what the cd hybrid_wl command is supposed to do. it shouldnt make a difference | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | cindy_: run the command I gave and if you get issues, use http://pastie.org to give the output | 01:37 |
| juan_ | escott, cd hybrid is to get to that folder where i do the third command | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | I think even if the packages were in the repos, cindy_ would still have issues | 01:37 |
| juan_ | escott, where i run the third command the insmod.... | 01:38 |
| bfri | actionparsnip: when would one start to see the limits of what lubuntu can do respectively, functionality or aesthetics? | 01:38 |
| viator | Open JFK is and it works fine | 01:38 |
| escott | juan_, i dont think modprobe looks at the current working directory | 01:38 |
| bfri | actionparsnip. or both | 01:38 |
| viator | JFK* | 01:38 |
| viator | Wth auto correct sucks | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | bfri: its the same OS, it just uses lighter apps by default, so not much | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | bfri: try it, you'll see the deal | 01:39 |
| bfri | actionparsnip: thanks for the quick edu | 01:39 |
| angela- | how do i put my mp3 from my hd to internet dj consoll? | 01:39 |
| viator | Android | 01:39 |
| juan_ | escott, i dont know, its just the steps in the readme of the broadcom readme steps | 01:40 |
| viator | Now. Its fixed | 01:41 |
| cindy_ | giving bash command | 01:41 |

| cindy_ | i wish that was all i had to deal with | 01:48 |
| domo1 | using sudo, whats the correct way to use term as "root" | 01:49 |
| chuck002 | cindy_ u have to set the path on Java to your environement variable JAVA_HOME in order to the program find your java | 01:49 |
| domo1 | basically, i want to login as root | 01:49 |
| domo1 | and, how can I login as another user? | 01:49 |
| cindy_ | okay how do i do that please | 01:49 |
| jack_ | isn't there a page that goes over the procedure to boot into runlevel3? | 01:52 |
| psusi | jack_, there isn't really such a thing on ubuntu | 01:52 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ di in command line "export JAVA_HOME yourPathToJava" | 01:52 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ do | 01:53 |
| === SVNDR is now known as svndr | ||
| jack_ | psusi, well whats the easiest way to kill xserver? | 01:53 |
| psusi | jack_, you can boot with the text kernel argument to stop it from loading iirc | 01:53 |
| escott | jack_, service lightdm stop assuming you are running a display manager | 01:53 |
| jack_ | thank you | 01:53 |
| psusi | that will do it too | 01:53 |
| Blackweb | Just curious Does anyone know how to disable a daemon from starting once the OS comes up, I know how to disable it manually from terminal but how would i not start it up at all | 01:54 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ and then "export PATH=$PATH/PathToJava/bin" | 01:54 |
| Blackweb | For Example samba | 01:54 |
| escott | chuck634, cindy_ missing a : between $PATH and /PathToJava | 01:54 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ add these command in the end of your /home/.bashrc fils to not have to repeat them in each reboot of your session | 01:54 |

| chuck634 | cindy_ if you type "java" in prompt what is the result? | 02:00 |

| k3g | Trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 on an external USB HD via my Macbook to move to a headless machine, and I'm getting a message stating "Operating System Not Found" error on boot. Any help? | 02:01 |
| slakcphil | cindy_ i have had quite a bit of coffee myself! | 02:01 |
| Blackweb | Is there a way also to list amount of ram my systems using compared with the amount i have | 02:01 |
| escott | Blackweb, free -m | 02:02 |
| cindy_ | thats not funny | 02:02 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ if u type $JAVA_HOME ? | 02:02 |
| viator | Here's the. Problem oracle. Changed the licensing. For Java. So Ubuntu. Removed it | 02:02 |
| cindy_ | $java_home where | 02:02 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ if u type echo $JAVA_HOME in the terminal? | 02:02 |
| Blackweb | Thanks :) escott | 02:03 |
| viator | You can get it from oracle via. Wget. | 02:03 |
| escott | k3g, (a) not all systems can directly boot a usb device. (b) do you have a bootloader in the mbr? | 02:03 |
| cindy_ | so then how do i get my games to work if we cant have it on the ubuntu | 02:03 |
| viator | You. Do it in the command. Line | 02:03 |
| slakcphil | cindy_ what games? | 02:03 |
| viator | Or | 02:03 |
| === tum is now known as Guest44270 | ||
| k3g | escott, believe so. Does rEFIt count? | 02:03 |
| viator | Install. Open jdk | 02:03 |
| escott | cindy_, the recommened and future versions of java are openjdk based. thats why java6 was removed | 02:03 |
| escott | k3g, so you are trying to boot a mac? | 02:04 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ it's game online? | 02:04 |
| kylesmith | Kiten: inside the encrypted home directory are two hidden symlinks, .ecryptfs and .Private which point to /home/.ecryptfs/username/.ecryptfs and /home/.ecryptfs/username/.Private | 02:04 |
| k3g | escott, yes, so I can install Ubuntu to this HD to move it to my headless machine. | 02:04 |
| cindy_ | okay but java_home is not found | 02:04 |
| viator | Open jdk is in software center | 02:04 |
| cindy_ | yes it is games online | 02:04 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ that why the program don't find java | 02:04 |
| cindy_ | so how do i do this guys | 02:04 |
| Kiten | kylesmith, well a temporary work around you might be able chown you home directory | 02:05 |
| escott | k3g, my understanding is that bootcamp methods work better. macs are 100% compatible with efi so you have a less tested efi boot on a not completely efi system | 02:05 |
| kylesmith | Kiten: well I used the same username on my laptop and desktop, so when I put my laptop hard drive in my desktop and ran ecryptfs-mount-private the paths were still valid | 02:05 |
| escott | k3g, rather "are not 100% compatible" | 02:05 |
| slakcphil | the best way to do games != linux | 02:05 |
| slakcphil | be real | 02:05 |
| Kiten | *your | 02:05 |
| viator | I would open the software center in Ubuntu and search for open jdk | 02:05 |
| cindy_ | so what program does it take for ubuntu | 02:05 |
| k3g | so escott, I should do a Wubi install via a Bootcamp install? Or am I getting this wrong | 02:06 |
| kylesmith | Kiten: my workaround was to fix the symlinks. | 02:06 |
| slakcphil | nix == server distro | 02:06 |
| viator | And install it | 02:06 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ type sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre in your terminal | 02:06 |
| slakcphil | unless maybe you are running game server :P | 02:06 |
| escott | k3g, not just do a bootcamp install and tell the bootcamp stuff you are going to be installing windows, but put the ubuntu disk in instead | 02:06 |
| chuck634 | cindy_ or install open-jdk via the update center | 02:06 |
| Kiten | kylesmith, yeah you could do that :P or chown it copy the files and chown them then just delete that user and recreate it | 02:06 |
| k3g | Don't have CD's... Will Bootcamp accept a USB stick instead? | 02:06 |
| viator | Most people want to help via the command line cause. The don't know what you have installed on your. PC | 02:07 |
| escott | k3g, when you "use bootcamp to install windows" the mac is really just emulating the bios layer so you can install any pc-compatible bios based os like ubuntu without trouble | 02:07 |
| cindy_ | how do i do that update center | 02:07 |
| kylesmith | Kiten: did nobody that develops this software think that anyone would use the same username on multiple machines? It really pisses me off. | 02:07 |
| viator | Cindy its the software center | 02:07 |
| viator | Just click on the sniping bag looking icon | 02:08 |
| viator | Shopping. Bag* | 02:08 |
| * tnk1 is away: Gone away for now | 02:09 | |
| k3g | escott, giving it a try. Hope all works out. Thanks for the pointer! | 02:09 |
| Kiten | kylesmith, well it probably does you should just chown the files it may work then | 02:09 |
| kylesmith | Kiten: ? What probably does what? | 02:10 |
| cindy_ | no matter what do with all these suggestions none of them r working why is that | 02:10 |
| angela- | cyndy type in the software cebtre by sears jdk he fint it imydely you can in stal it it thid it tjast yet | 02:10 |
| escott | kylesmith, do you have the same uid for the same username on the different systems? | 02:10 |
| kylesmith | escott: I dunno, how do I check? | 02:11 |
| escott | kylesmith, "id" on the two systems will tell you what your id is, or you can grep /etc/passwd | 02:11 |
| chuck634 | welcom to linux world cindy | 02:12 |
| escott | kylesmith, point is that you can have the same username, but that doesn't mean anything because the usernames are not stored in the filesystem, only the uid is. and so things get broken moving between systems if i am uid 1000 on machine 1 and uid 1001on machine 2 | 02:12 |
| kylesmith | escott: actually, it looks like they're both uid 1000 | 02:13 |
| kylesmith | I must've screwed up the symlinks or something | 02:14 |
| angela- | soon i start internet radio here i have instalt intenet dj consoll and instalt icecast2 now i have to gonfigure it than i can play | 02:14 |
| escott | kylesmith, on removable media you probably want to have a relative symlink and not an absolute symlink | 02:15 |
| lotus-blade | I can not access my windows shares on the network from ubuntu 11.10 | 02:16 |
| lotus-blade | any ideas how to fix this? | 02:16 |
| kylesmith | escott: well it's not really removable, but the symlinks that were already there were absolute, so I'm just trying to point them in the right direction until I recover my data | 02:16 |
| chuck634 | you can connect to #java channel of freenod, they say that I have to be register but i don't know how to do that | 02:16 |

| DeLorean719 | I'm using 11.10, and I'm suddenly receiving some errors when trying to run commands like "sudo shutdown -r 0" or even running some scripts. Dmesg shows "lost page due to I/O error on dm-0\nEXT4-fs error (device dm-0): ext4_find_entry:934: inode #1703045: reading directory lblock 0". If I run shutdown -r 0, it says "-bash: /sbin/shutdown: Input/output error" | 02:17 |
| Retistic | does this mean postgres=# \password $USER my own username | 02:17 |
| Retistic | ? | 02:17 |
| Retistic | instead of $USEr | 02:17 |
| escott | DeLorean719, so thats not good. means your harddrive is probably dying | 02:18 |
| escott | DeLorean719, use the disk utility to check the smart status | 02:18 |

| DeLorean719 | manpage gives me input/output error as well lol | 02:20 |

| DeLorean719 | ah I'm on a server version of 11.10 | 02:21 |
| DeLorean719 | not to mention, sshing into it | 02:21 |
| DeLorean719 | what's the cli utilities name, do you know? | 02:21 |
| chuck634 | CarlFK you can dwl it on the oracle site | 02:21 |
| escott | DeLorean719, smartctl was correct | 02:22 |
| crypticmofo | hi all have a question .. i had grub booting a windows install .. i accidently deleted the ubuntu parition that had grub on it and now windows won't boot at all .. also the hdd that i deleted ubuntu off of dosen't boot from a live dvd .. i have one of those usb dongles where the hdd can be read on another computer / anyway to fix ? | 02:22 |
| CarlFK | chuck634: do I have to? (hoping to apt-get it from somewhere) | 02:22 |
| DeLorean719 | whatever I pass to it returns nothing (literally no text) | 02:22 |
| DeLorean719 | smartctl -h, smartctl -a | 02:22 |
| chuck634 | CarlFK unzip it somwhere and set your JAVA_HOME and PATH variable with the path | 02:22 |
| slakcphil | Delorean, i have seen similar errors when an nfs mount was unmounted very uncleanly, `ls` would hang and all sorts of weirf io errors. reboot fixed it | 02:23 |
| escott | crypticmofo, if you dont want windows anymore boot a windows rescue disk and use the fixmbr command to install the windows bootloader | 02:23 |
| grape_ | i downloaded 10.04 as a torrent, i received an iso file. What do i need to do to get this onto a dvd or cd in a proper format | 02:23 |

| chuck634 | CarlFK sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 02:23 |

| escott | Retistic, so what was the question? | 02:23 |
| DeLorean719 | thanks | 02:23 |
| Retistic | yeats: like $adam or adam | 02:23 |
| chuck634 | CarlFK or install the open-jdk | 02:23 |

| DeLorean719 | hardware problems here don't surprise me, this pc gets a hard shut off every night | 02:24 |
| crypticmofo | know what i can exchange the hard drives | 02:25 |
| crypticmofo | i thikn | 02:25 |
| crypticmofo | or maybe not | 02:25 |
| Retistic | escott: says role already exists | 02:25 |
| escott | Retistic, yes so that is saying "I am creating a user with the same name as me for consistency" and then "i want to set a password for the user named my username" | 02:25 |
| crypticmofo | escott won't that mess up my current machine ? | 02:25 |
| Retistic | escott: so i use $USER or my actual username? | 02:25 |
| yeats | Retistic: if the role already exists, then using $USER must have worked | 02:26 |
| escott | crypticmofo, windows fixmbr might have some tool to do it only on a single disk, but yes if you have this usb attached to another machine fixmbr probably wont help and will mess up the current machine | 02:26 |

| Retistic | yeats: wait i think it worked | 02:29 |
| amagee | hmm, ok | 02:30 |
| amagee | was there someone who actually thought that making people install something called "compizconfig-settings-manager", which can "break unity easily" was a user-friendly way of allowing people to change keyboard shortcuts? :S | 02:30 |
| Retistic | yeats: postgres=# \password adam Enter new password: Enter it again: postgres=# | 02:30 |
| jcapinc | how do you identify usb devices in /dev | 02:31 |
| amagee | escott: what do you use? are you running 11.10? i'm really just looking for something that will play nicely with xmonad.. it was nice under gnome 2 | 02:31 |

| Retistic | yeats: not sure where im supposed to enter the next commands | 02:33 |
| escott | amagee, using gnome-shell | 02:33 |
| diamonds | I'm trying to install grub on my computer, I'm booting ubuntu from USB | 02:33 |
| diamonds | I've looked at some guides but I think they're for a newer version | 02:34 |
| Retistic | yeats: bash or pg console | 02:34 |
| diamonds | I installed grub from apt-get and it's version 0.97 | 02:34 |
| yeats | Retistic: bash | 02:34 |
| sumosu | diamonds: what ubuntu versino are you using? | 02:34 |
| escott | amagee, you cant be using xmonad and compiz. what are you trying to get | 02:34 |
| amagee | umm, how do i know if i'm using compiz or not | 02:35 |
| diamonds | sumosu: 11.10 I believe | 02:35 |
| escott | amagee, ps aux | grep compiz | 02:35 |
| amagee | ok, i'm not using compiz | 02:35 |
| sumosu | diamonds: thats the newest | 02:36 |
| escott | amagee, there are limited tiling functions for compiz and gnome-shell (just ctrl-alt-numkey to place in one part of a 9x9 tile) | 02:36 |
| amagee | yeah, not really interested in that | 02:36 |
| sumosu | diamonds: so you booted an install USB like one would boot an install CD/dvd? | 02:36 |
| zorlac | hello i have lamp and apache2 installed on my machine but no php scripts work or run. how do i get php to work ???? | 02:36 |
| escott | amagee, then ccsm is not appropriate for you. if you are using xmonad then you would have to configure its keybindings to bring up the unity lens | 02:37 |
| diamonds | sumosu: I am using unetbootin | 02:37 |
| amagee | i'm happy to just not have the unity lens | 02:37 |
| sumosu | diamonds: i have to look that up:) | 02:37 |
| htmlinprogress | whats a vpn, and whats it for? | 02:38 |
| jcapinc | how do I get information abotu devices in /dev | 02:38 |
| amagee | the problem i'm trying to solve atm is pressing my windows key opens up the unity lens, but i use the windows key for xmonad, so that's annoying | 02:39 |
| sumosu | diamonds: uhm so that is like booting from a cd but it's actually a usb... correct? | 02:39 |
| yeats | !vpn | htmlinprogress | 02:39 |

| diamonds | sumosu: have you used grub? | 02:40 |
| diamonds | I'm getting the following error: could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a blocking device | 02:40 |
| sumosu | diamonds: yes | 02:40 |
| sumosu | diamonds: have you installed ubuntu to HDD yet? | 02:41 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, point is you might configure your network storage device to only respond to local requests, and so you would not be able to access files from a hotel, but with a vpn you can configure all your traffic to go through a machine inside your home network, and therefore be able to access your network storage device | 02:42 |
| diamonds | sumosu: I installed ubuntu, installed it on a stick so I could boot to it for gparted to make room for win7, installed win7, now it boots automatically to win7 but I need to be able to boot back to ubuntu (obv) | 02:42 |

| diamonds | I can | 02:47 |
| escott | diamonds, sounds like you need to follow the "lost grub" instructions | 02:47 |
| diamonds | Ben64: is grub installed on my machine already? | 02:47 |
| diamonds | I *cannot boot to* my HDD linux install | 02:47 |
| sumosu | diamonds: yes i understand now. and this is not the moment to mess something up | 02:47 |
| diamonds | so I don't know if grub is there | 02:48 |
| diamonds | sumosu: yes | 02:48 |
| Ben64 | grub had to have been there at some point | 02:48 |
| diamonds | Ben64: ok cool | 02:48 |
| Ben64 | but you can check to see if the /boot directory is there from usb ubuntu | 02:48 |
| diamonds | I did sudo apt-get grub but that was on the usb "livecd" | 02:48 |
| Ben64 | mount the partition and see | 02:48 |
| diamonds | I see /boot/ | 02:48 |
| escott | diamonds, if ubuntu ever booted then you had grub at some point in the past and have now lost it | 02:48 |
| diamonds | escott: ok ty | 02:49 |
| sumosu | diamonds: grub programs should be therer already... but this is risky. i do not want to take the resposibility and i do not want to google this up for you | 02:49 |
| diamonds | I have /boot/grub/{device.map,grubenv} | 02:49 |
| diamonds | OK. I'll read that article | 02:49 |
| diamonds | thatnks | 02:49 |
| htmlinprogress | escott, so like i can have a teamviewer type thing ? and have in on my home ubuntu , with the laptop going through my video connection at my friends house , via their wifi? | 02:50 |
| sumosu | diamonds: my suggestion would be that you install grub and update-grub. it will automatically find windows and create a chainloader. but i can not promise that this works. so please use the google | 02:50 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, i didnt follow all that, but i would not recommend using a vpn over a residential connection. if you dont have a symmetric uplink/downlink things will be very slow | 02:51 |
| sumosu | diamonds: get a second opinion so to speak. i dont want to destroy stuff on your pc. | 02:51 |
| viator | Teamviwer has a Linux version | 02:51 |
| viator | Just download the. .Deb | 02:52 |
| jcapinc | can someone help me? I am trying to format a pen drive for my windows using friend who cannot access it, and I cannot identify the device in ubuntu | 02:52 |
| sumosu | diamonds: by installing grub i mean you force "install-grub" to write a bootblock on the device of your choice | 02:52 |
| sumosu | diamonds: if it fucks up your windwos bootblock you will need windows tools to repair that... it can be very annoying. so get help from people who know better than me | 02:53 |
| htmlinprogress | i have 12down;oad and 1.3 up,, escott,, so im still new to this, so whats that me residential connection. if you dont have a symmetric uplink/downlink things will be very slow? | 02:53 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, and technically a vpn is a bit more than just a remote access application (like teamviewer) but often people refer to vpns when they really just mean the remote desktop connection | 02:53 |
| === teh8bits is now known as Guest477 | ||
| escott | htmlinprogress, so right now you are downloading webpages at 12, but if you were coming in from outside and going through your home network the 1.3 up would be the limiting factor so its about 10x slower | 02:54 |
| diamonds | sumosu: disclaimer acknowledged! :) | 02:54 |
| htmlinprogress | what about filesharing? ... and 2 pc worth 600ish gb to backup ? | 02:55 |
| diamonds | so boot-repair is running now :) | 02:55 |
| viator | Von is what you'd use for a remote field.office if you had a sasmall business for instance | 02:55 |
| SVNDR | androidbruce: sorry i missed what you said up the page.. about mIRC running better, or a better client | 02:55 |
| diamonds | If this works, I'll take back everything I've ever said about ubuntu | 02:55 |
| viator | Vpn * | 02:55 |
| diamonds | j/k :p | 02:55 |
| sumosu | diamonds: i fucked it all up once. i never lost any windows partition. it's always fixable but it's very ennerving. and your computer might not boot at all. | 02:55 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, so again resi connections are tuned for webbrowsing and media streaming downlink only. if you are coming in from outside then the uplink becomes the limiting factor and it will be much much slower | 02:56 |
| CarlFK | unity.. I have 5 terminals open. each has a unique window title. how do I see the list of titles so I can swith to one? | 02:57 |
| escott | diamonds, its not so bad, the main thing is to make sure you install grub on the correct disk and point it at the correct boot partition. you can run the commands by us before you press enter to confirm them | 02:57 |
| viator | That's when you get.rid.of.windows. | 02:57 |
| viator | Heh | 02:57 |
| diamonds | escott: I did it the button way :) | 02:58 |
| htmlinprogress | i understand.. .. so i seen my andriod has a vpn option .... so whats that mean? and can i get files when im away? | 02:58 |
| diamonds | point -> click | 02:58 |
| * tnk1 is back. | 02:58 | |
| escott | htmlinprogress, your comment about teamviewer suggests you may be more interested in vnc than vpn | 02:58 |
| diamonds | that is what I was excited about. it's so... un-*nixy... so easy :) | 02:58 |
| diamonds | IF it works | 02:58 |
| htmlinprogress | ?? | 02:59 |
| htmlinprogress | whats the differance? | 02:59 |
| htmlinprogress | !vnc | 02:59 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:59 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, vnc is gui sharing. often one uses vnc in conjunction with a vpn but its not required | 02:59 |
| diamonds | aww yeah booting to linux seems to work. Now just to check windoze. | 02:59 |
| SVNDR | How can i make the text easier to read when running mIRC with wine..? | 02:59 |
| htmlinprogress | !vpn | 03:00 |
| ubottu | For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 03:00 |
| sumosu | well. you kinda want to know where the windows equivalent of grub is located so you dont overwrite it | 03:00 |
| viator | Ntldr | 03:01 |
| lasher_ | I get this error after trying to boot after fresh install input signal out of range. change settings to 1280 x 1024 -60hz | 03:02 |
| sumosu | well fine.. you need to know wether its no sda or sda1 or how windows did it. my experiences are XP based but chances are that you overwrite it so that chainloading will not work | 03:02 |

| Lesovy | hm | 03:06 |
| escott | diamonds, unless you meant what os you want to boot. if you want windows to boot first the best way is to rename the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to 09_os-prober and then rerun update-grub | 03:06 |
| diamonds | ?? oh I'm OK there | 03:06 |
| diamonds | escott: OH no I didn't mean that. Sorry got confused for a second. I'm trying to see what starts on boot | 03:07 |

| sockbot | Hey all, I recently upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10, and my system wouldnt boot up. I used something called super grub live cd, and that fixed my server, but now every time i reboot grub is asking me if i want to boot normal, recovery or memtest. I would like it to default to normal after 5 seconds, and I am having trouble figuring out how to do this. | 03:12 |
| Bunie | ive seen packages that show game icons for even Nintendo DS roms. Isnt there something for .exe files? | 03:12 |
| sumosu | DrMax: it could be some windows related loader that would show band photos or what not | 03:12 |
| sockbot | I have a /etc/default/grub.cfg file and a /etc/grub.conf file | 03:12 |
| Papafoxytrot | I need help | 03:12 |
| sumosu | DrMax: i think they did that in and around 2000 | 03:12 |
| Gallomimia | yay it's finally installing | 03:12 |
| Papafoxytrot | installed ubuntu but when i reboot the bootloader does not show up and goes to windows | 03:12 |
| Papafoxytrot | do i need to install grub? I would thought that was already installed | 03:12 |
| escott | DrMax, sounds like one of my old video games... audio tracks and then the game data | 03:12 |
| aeon-ltd | Bunie: explain more on what you want | 03:13 |
| urlin2u | Papafoxytrot, youinstall with a usb? | 03:13 |
| Papafoxytrot | yes | 03:13 |
| escott | Papafoxytrot, do you have multiple hard drives? | 03:13 |
| Papafoxytrot | yes | 03:13 |
| Bunie | aeon-ltd: More simply said. I want windows executables icons to be seen instead of he generic icon | 03:13 |
| htmlinprogress | escott, so how do i backup my data to a remote pc? | 03:13 |
| escott | Papafoxytrot, change the boot order in the bios. grub is installed on disk two but disk one is booting | 03:13 |
| Papafoxytrot | escott, No sorry, its just partitioned | 03:13 |
| DrMax | escott : it's an extra CD in a boxset | 03:13 |
| lasher_ | SVNDR: I think youd have more luck running mirc in a virtualbox | 03:13 |
| escott | Papafoxytrot, then nevermind | 03:14 |
| Teratogen | mirc runs pretty good in wine | 03:14 |
| aeon-ltd | Bunie: not sure on what defines and attributes exes to icons, but first you need a icon set that contains such a icon for exe files | 03:14 |
| Papafoxytrot | urlin2u, yes | 03:14 |
| escott | DrMax, its always possible there is nothing there, but you could dd it and see what the remainder of the data looks like. if its all zeroed out, then its likely just blank | 03:14 |
| lasher_ | SVNDR: and look into adding fonts in wine | 03:14 |
| Bunie | aeon-ltd: Executables contain icons seen in Windows. I wanna see them in ubuntu | 03:14 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, so what do you want to accomplish. you just want a remote backup solution? | 03:15 |
| sumosu | Teratogen: may i lol?:)) | 03:15 |
| urlin2u | Papafoxytrot, the usb if you used one.....may may have the grub it happens, try booting it and see if you get the grub menu. | 03:15 |
| DrMax | escott : hmm I could. That be ... like, stupid if it was all zeroed out | 03:15 |
| lasher_ | Bunie, I'm pretty sure theres a thing for that in synaptic | 03:15 |
| lasher_ | i can see exe's | 03:16 |
| lasher_ | meh | 03:16 |
| htmlinprogress | escott, yes | 03:16 |
| Papafoxytrot | urlin2u, okay, if it doesn't, how do i install just grub | 03:16 |
| Teratogen | I used to run mirc pretty successfully with wine on my Slackware box | 03:16 |
| Teratogen | but then I started using xchat and got used to xchat | 03:16 |
| Teratogen | I still run mirc on my windows boxes | 03:17 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, if all you need to be able to do is backup your files while you are on the road back to your home network | 03:17 |
| lasher_ | XChat is great | 03:17 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, then you can do that very easily with a NAS (network attached hard drive) capable of running ssh, and a dyndns entry | 03:17 |

| escott | htmlinprogress, the same principles apply. if the friends computer is on the same network you dont need the dyndns. the only thing you need to pick is what transfer method to use (there are a number of choices) | 03:24 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, the main choices for file transfer are: samba for transfer to from windows, ssh for the most secure transfer mode to other linux machines. rsync (over ssh preferred) for bulk transfers | 03:25 |

| Papafoxytrot | urlin2u, so it's installed - is there a way to make it default over mbr? | 03:28 |
| lalagirl | hello everyone, greetings and happy new year to all | 03:28 |
| urlin2u | Papafoxytrot, I have no idea what you have done when you say installed, and if from the wiki how well you read it. | 03:29 |
| urlin2u | Papafoxytrot, I'm not sure what this means as well. "is there a way to make it default over mbr?" | 03:30 |
| Papafoxytrot | urlin2u, I mean I think it's already installed, but it doesn't show up when I boot the computer | 03:34 |
| SVNDR | (putty:10528): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", why do i keep getting this error when i run an app | 03:35 |
| testing123321 | testing123 | 03:35 |
| urlin2u | Papafoxytrot, part of grub is in ubuntu if it nstalled correctly without the mbr being written to. The wiki tells you how to load grub to the mbr so grub is the bootloader. | 03:36 |
| puff_ | because it's a grapical install and does not have access to 0 | 03:36 |
| Kiten | SVNDR its best to ignore that GTK apps spit out a lot of debug info when run in terminal | 03:36 |
| fabio | can someone please assist me in make my card performence better in ubuntu 11.10 card is a Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller | 03:36 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: how else can i run them? | 03:36 |

| caesar_ | IS there a trick to getting usb devices to work in vbox?? | 03:37 |
| hendaus | hello | 03:37 |
| puff_ | run them just ignore the debug | 03:37 |
| SVNDR | puff_: is there any other way to run them though? | 03:37 |
| hendaus | can anyone tell me how to upgrade from sabily 9.10 to 11.10 please? | 03:37 |
| puff_ | !usb | 03:37 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 03:37 |
| urlin2u | Papafoxytrot, I wonder if that is the problem, it is rather unusual for this exact scenario to happen.If the usb has the grub boot and it got you to the install it would be easier to fix from ubuntu itself.Could be any otherset of problems as well. | 03:37 |
| puff_ | yeah gtk | 03:38 |
| escott | hendaus, you have to go through all the other versions, a reinstall may be easier see !clone | 03:38 |
| Kiten | SVNDR well unless you have an x11 server(by this i mean an x11 server that is actually serving not the local loop) you have to run them from terminal | 03:38 |
| puff_ | brb I gotta windows 7 install running I have to check on on another machine (no hell no it is not mine) | 03:38 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: alright no worries, thanks | 03:38 |

| hendaus | escott: thanx friend, but i have download the latest sabily version so i dont like to erase everything kept on my hard disk | 03:39 |
| puff_ | fabio:displays | 03:40 |
| fabio | think so kiten | 03:40 |
| Kiten | apt-cache search intel graphics | 03:40 |
| fabio | ouff: displays what do u mean? | 03:40 |
| Bunie | caesar_: I think Virtual Box can do that | 03:40 |
| fabio | how i do that kiten im new to ubuntu | 03:40 |
| fabio | apt-cache is that a command | 03:41 |
| Kiten | yes open a terminal up | 03:41 |
| fabio | is open | 03:41 |
| Kiten | its under applications->accessories | 03:41 |
| edbian | fabio, yes | 03:41 |
| escott | caesar_, i would not be surprised if the sharing is per bus. so you may have to pick a bus (ie one set of ports on one side of the machine) to share through the virtual box system config | 03:41 |
| Kiten | now type apt-cache search intel graphics | 03:41 |
| SVNDR | Kiten: what IRC client do you use? | 03:42 |
| caesar_ | i tried ports on both sides | 03:42 |
| Kiten | SVNDR xchat for gui, BitchX for terminal | 03:42 |
| escott | caesar_, but have you tried explicitly enabling sharing of usb | 03:42 |
| caesar_ | i had to add user to group yes | 03:42 |
| Kiten | *well i probably shoulda used its package name ircII-pana | 03:42 |
| escott | caesar_, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/virtualbox-usb.html | 03:42 |
| fabio | kiten: got no output of that command | 03:42 |
| Kiten | sorry | 03:42 |
| Kiten | fabio, type sudo apt-get update | 03:43 |
| Kiten | then sudo apt-cache search intel drivers after it gets finished | 03:43 |
| hendaus | escott: i mean i didnot burn the latest version on a blank cd so thats why i am asking if i do a reinstall everything kept on my hd can be eraise or not | 03:43 |

| Kiten | uhh fabio it should have some out put | 03:44 |
| Kiten | does that computer have an internet connection ? | 03:44 |
| escott | hendaus, in place upgrades do not skip versions so you would go 9.10->10.04->10.10->11.04->11.10 you could reinstall and preserve the home, but you should backup in case it fails | 03:44 |

| fabio | is this all? | 03:46 |
| hendaus | escott: can u tell me how please coz i am not understanding | 03:46 |
| Kiten | Bunie, he appears to have an older card | 03:46 |
| Kiten | fabio did you get a list | 03:46 |
| fabio | yes kiten | 03:46 |

| caesar_ | escott: the top one is checked.. when i checked the bottom one it gave me some update error and told me to reinstall virtualbox. weird | 03:48 |
| Bunie | fabio needs to find out exactly what intel graphics he has :P | 03:48 |
| Bunie | then it'd be easier. | 03:48 |
| Kiten | you could try this sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel fabio but if you can't get to gui you'll have to login via terminal | 03:48 |
| Bunie | ubuntu has documentation on pretty much everything | 03:48 |
| htmlinprogress | rsync, does windows have one? | 03:48 |
| escott | caesar_, the usb sharing is a newer feature in virtualbox so make sure you have the most recent version (it used to be a feature you had to pay for) | 03:49 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, yes you can get rsync for windows | 03:49 |
| Kiten | I don't mean to slap this in but arch has a pretty exhaustive list on their wiki, however ubuntu forums seems to be the friendliest | 03:49 |
| fabio | bunie anyway i can find whats the exact card? | 03:49 |
| Kiten | fabio do sudo lshw | grep vga | 03:50 |
| Bunie | yeah do that | 03:50 |
| Bunie | Kiten knows more then i do | 03:50 |
| hendaus | escott: i am asking about sabily 11.10 not ubuntu11.10 | 03:50 |
| Bunie | but if you can find your exact card, odds are ubuntu has a document on it | 03:50 |
| htmlinprogress | Kiten, ??? | 03:50 |
| Bunie | for intel its usually three letters and/or numbers | 03:50 |
| Bunie | like GMA 845 | 03:50 |

| fabio | :( ok im trying to google some trick | 04:01 |
| Kiten | fabio you could switch destkop environments to improve speed | 04:01 |
| Kiten | i'd recommend lxde or fluxbox or xfce | 04:01 |
| Bunie | Kiten: gnome is pretty cpu efficient :P | 04:01 |
| Kiten | gnome is kinda sluggish | 04:01 |
| fabio | can i run it out of grafic mode? | 04:02 |
| Kiten | but definitely faster than kde | 04:02 |
| fabio | to get more memory free | 04:02 |
| Bunie | lol kde | 04:02 |
| Bunie | KDE uses 25% of my cpu just to sit there | 04:02 |

| escott | nimbiotics, when you run a script it spawns a new shell that shell gets the new working directory and immediately closes | 04:25 |
| htmlinprogress | escott, i am doing this through the internet | 04:25 |
| SVNDR | htmlinprogress: i installed a Human theme for wine, that said it should make it look more natural, but it didnt really help.. and it runs slow too | 04:26 |
| nimbiotics | escott: Is there a way to change that? | 04:26 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, so the remote computer is not on the same network, but is literally the house next door | 04:26 |
| Gallomimia | htmlinprogress, bunie: no it's black. much text scrolled past earlier | 04:26 |
| escott | nimbiotics, you want an alias. and it should go in your ~/.bashrc | 04:26 |
| nimbiotics | escott: thats exactly where I started, but couldnt make it work | 04:27 |
| Hamled | Hi, How would I install the screen package from this branch? https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/debian/experimental/screen/experimental I need a version of screen with the changes that were pushed in the most recent revision | 04:27 |
| escott | nimbiotics, did you logout or start a new terminal? | 04:27 |
| Hamled | is it just build from source? | 04:27 |
| nimbiotics | escott: Not yet, I know I have to do it, but I tried the alias first but couldnt make it work | 04:28 |
| === SVNDR is now known as svndr | ||
| ibodi | what's the best version of ubuntu to install today ? thanks | 04:29 |
| Bunie | ibodi: Mostly an opinion based answer is all you will get with that question | 04:29 |
| escott | htmlinprogress, in order to backup to the computer at the house next door the following needs to be done: (a) the house next door needs to establish a dyndns entry and keep it updated, (b) the house next door needs to pick a port to forward on its router to the computer you will backup to, that port should be appropriate for service method you want to use, (c) samba would be the easiest service to use but I would not feel comfortable ope | 04:29 |
| escott | ning a samba port to the outside so it might be better for your neighbor to install an ssh server and if he is doing that he might as well install rsync so you can use that | 04:29 |
| escott | nimbiotics, so its just "alias newcommand='cd /path/to/directory' | 04:30 |
| ibodi | Bunie: are you happy with 11.10 or are you currently using other versions ? | 04:30 |
| Agamemnus | how do I fix a message that says I need root priveleges? | 04:30 |
| htmlinprogress | http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Fonts SVNDR | 04:30 |
| Agamemnus | "You need root priviledges to access /usr/local" | 04:30 |
| escott | !sudo | Agamemnus | 04:30 |
| ubottu | Agamemnus: 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 | 04:30 |
| Bunie | ibodi: I'm using lubuntu 11.10 with gnome installed | 04:31 |
| Agamemnus | ahhh so that's what sudo does! | 04:31 |
| nimbiotics | escott: I tried [alias test='cd ~/Documents/Projects/dabo/'], but when I run [test somepath] it just goes to [~/Documents/Projects/dabo] | 04:31 |
| escott | nimbiotics, yes... and what did you expect it to do? | 04:31 |
| Bunie | Agamemnus: from what i know, sudo = command line root request, kgsu = graphical root request | 04:31 |
| Bunie | gksu* | 04:31 |
| elsid | hello I cant install unityshell-rotated plugin | 04:31 |
| ibodi | Bunie: does that means mint12 is easier for the dummy to install the latest ubuntu | 04:31 |
| nimbiotics | escott: move to ~/Documents/Projects/dabo/somepath | 04:32 |
| === svndr is now known as SVNDR | ||
| escott | nimbiotics, ahhh then you need a bash function | 04:32 |
| SVNDR | damn this is annoying | 04:33 |
| nimbiotics | escott: lol, just what I thought. but I couldnt make it work and thats why I came here with my first 2 questions :) | 04:33 |
| acidfrost | ibodi, well the really only hard part is well partitioning your hard drive and thats not really that hard so you could just have ubuntu manage it automatically | 04:33 |
| escott | nimbiotics, function test { cd "/path/to/folder/$1";} | 04:33 |
| acidfrost | ibodi, * of ubuntu of course | 04:33 |
| === dave is now known as Guest89692 | ||
| nimbiotics | escott: would that be the only line in my bash? | 04:34 |
| htmlinprogress | escott, can you pm this info.. so i can remember how to do this | 04:34 |
| stepnjump | My operapluginwrapper makes a weird noise sometimes... sounds like drums, I wonder what that could be | 04:34 |
| escott | nimbiotics, i think that should work. give it a try | 04:34 |
| ibodi | acidfrost: install ubuntu is easier nowadays; however still feeling funny about use of 11.10 | 04:35 |
| Guest89692 | im on 11.10, when gnome 3 loads, the top panel appears for a second then disappears. Is there a command to reset gnome 3 to factory default? | 04:35 |
| acidfrost | ibodi, if your looking for difficult i'd recommend gentoo | 04:35 |
| elsid | need help installing unityshell-rotated plugin | 04:36 |
| ibodi | acidfrost: well. just feel like the u11.10 gui is not as handy as 10.04 | 04:37 |
| acidfrost | yeah i'm not a big fan of unity either | 04:37 |
| acidfrost | i'd rather use gnome 2 | 04:37 |
| acidfrost | or flux | 04:37 |
| ibodi | acidfrost: unity designed for netbook looks, however our desktop screen is very huge. so 10.04 works handy. | 04:37 |
| black | New to ubuntu.Need resources to learn terminal commands.Anyone know whare? :3 | 04:38 |
| acidfrost | black linuxquestions.com(might be .org) | 04:38 |
| ibodi | acidfrost: what are you currently using ? | 04:38 |
| acidfrost | 10.10(upgraded from 10.04 yesterday) | 04:38 |
| acidfrost | ironically i'm on a netbook ;p | 04:38 |
| nimbiotics | escott: doesnt work.... | 04:39 |
| black | ubuntu11.10 | 04:39 |
| acidfrost | i have noticed that using the desktop iso for a netbook does introduce some glitches with displaying windows | 04:39 |
| black | lol nvm | 04:39 |
| black | thank you acid frost | 04:39 |
| escott | nimbiotics, did you source your .bashrc? | 04:40 |
| acidfrost | black yeah just search on there there is tons of good articles | 04:40 |
| escott | nimbiotics, it might be an issue with the "~" you might want the full path there | 04:40 |
| black | I will begin research.I've become interested in this OS and aim to master it. :D | 04:40 |
| black | thanks again.peace | 04:41 |
| acidfrost | black, oh and of course a couple words of advice when you want to learn more rather than google it, type man -k topic | 04:41 |
| nimbiotics | escott: I dnt know what u mean by 'source' | 04:41 |
| black | ahh alright thank you ^_^ | 04:41 |
| acidfrost | and if you want to know command flags --help or -h is pretty much universal on most programs | 04:41 |
| escott | nimbiotics, type ". $HOME/.bashrc" | 04:41 |
| black | ok.taking this all in.appreciated | 04:42 |
| acidfrost | black and if you do cd /usr/bin then type ls you will see a list of programs that you can then do man -k name of program to find out the man page name then type man pagename | 04:42 |
| acidfrost | black a good starter is man ls | 04:42 |
| acidfrost | *"man ls" | 04:43 |
| black | quotations included? | 04:43 |
| acidfrost | nah just man ls | 04:43 |
| acidfrost | i did the quotes to make it stand out | 04:43 |
| black | ok | 04:43 |
| black | lol | 04:43 |
| black | thank you kindly | 04:43 |
| acidfrost | use the arrow keys to navigate | 04:43 |
| acidfrost | the titles you see with man -k are what you can then type man title | 04:44 |
| acidfrost | for | 04:44 |
| nimbiotics | escott: The output is [dircolors: /home/nimbiotics/.dircolors: No such file or directory] | 04:44 |
| black | ahh ok cool cool | 04:44 |
| escott | nimbiotics, thats fine, does the function work now? | 04:44 |
| nimbiotics | escott: nope, not even after using full path | 04:45 |

| acidfrost | hehe i could fill a small book with knowledge(although i will admit there are people who could do things better/more efficient than i can) | 04:45 |
| atvr | does anyone know if its possible to reset plasma to its original (default) setting in command line | 04:46 |
| atvr | because i have accidently disabled my task bar and desktop and now i cant enable it back :S | 04:46 |
| nimbiotics | escott: where do i find it? | 04:46 |
| black | well thank you for the small bit you have imparted to me. | 04:46 |
| acidfrost | atvr you could reinstall it | 04:47 |
| black | peace XD | 04:47 |
| escott | nimbiotics, where did you put this function? | 04:47 |
| acidfrost | black no problem ;p | 04:47 |
| atvr | acidfrost how, do you know the command for that :) | 04:47 |
| nimbiotics | escott: OIC | 04:47 |
| escott | nimbiotics, OIC?? what does that mean | 04:47 |
| acidfrost | sudo apt-get remove (not sure of the package name assuming its plasma) | 04:47 |
| acidfrost | sudo apt-get remove plasma (see text above0 | 04:47 |
| acidfrost | *) | 04:48 |
| deathbysushi | have a question if someone could help, thanks :) | 04:48 |
| escott | acidfrost, that won't touch his config in ~ | 04:48 |
| nimbiotics | escott: OIC=Oh, I see!. http://paste.ubuntu.com/791296/ | 04:48 |
| atvr | and then sudo apt-get install plasma ?? | 04:48 |
| escott | atvr, not a kde user but you might check if there are any hidden directories ~/.kde or ~/.plasma which might have the config files | 04:48 |
| acidfrost | escott well then sudo apt-get purge plasma | 04:48 |
| acidfrost | i might be wrong but isn't plasma a crucial part of kde ? | 04:49 |
| escott | acidfrost, still not going to do do anything for him. it won't touch his home folder its just going to break his kde setup | 04:49 |
| acidfrost | escott, see above | 04:49 |
| almoxarife | acidfrost: I do believe, yes | 04:49 |
| atvr | hey almoxarife | 04:50 |
| acidfrost | ahh then atvr i would not do that | 04:50 |
| escott | nimbiotics, so that function line should be in the file ~/.bashrc | 04:50 |
| urlin2u | deathbysushi, askaway. | 04:50 |
| atvr | okay | 04:50 |
| acidfrost | i assumed plasma was a dock thing | 04:50 |
| escott | acidfrost, yes it is. so why are you telling him to remove it | 04:50 |
| acidfrost | like most people want nowadays | 04:50 |
| acidfrost | escott, i'm afraid your meaning of dock and mine differ | 04:50 |
| escott | atvr, don't remove plasma | 04:50 |
| acidfrost | atvr, listen to escott | 04:51 |
| atvr | escott, ok | 04:51 |
| nimbiotics | escott: Thats is the whole cotent of the files as I haev have it right now. I named it project. Do I have to add the .bashrc? | 04:51 |
| escott | atvr, your plasma config is in some hidden directory like ~/.kde and renaming that folder and logout/login may get you back to a default setup | 04:52 |
| nimbiotics | escott: *content | 04:52 |
| almoxarife | escott: what would default be? | 04:52 |
| escott | nimbiotics, so ~/.bashrc should already exist. you want to add a single line to that. | 04:52 |
| escott | almoxarife, what it would be for a new user who has never configured kde | 04:53 |
| dijonyummy | is there a way to easily block internet connections for a program on my pc | 04:53 |
| dijonyummy | i used to use commodo when under windows | 04:54 |
| escott | atvr, its a bit drastic (all your kde config for all programs would be gone), so you might want to look for a better way | 04:54 |
| almoxarife | escott: I am confused, is it like getting rid of gnome? | 04:54 |
| === greentux|xutneer is now known as greentux | ||
| chamunks | can anyone help me figure out how to use aticonfigure command? | 04:55 |
| nimbiotics | escott: I'm totally lost here. Whre u say ~/.bashrc, are you refering to my file? If so; what The link shows is the whole file, which I named project; or do yoiu mean that I muts name file project.bashrc? | 04:55 |
| chamunks | The amdcccle will not save any changes. | 04:55 |
| chamunks | it saved the first ones than hated me ever since. | 04:55 |
| escott | almoxarife, no its like renaming ~/.config | 04:55 |
| chamunks | I have two ati cards with two monitors. | 04:55 |
| atvr | escott, do you know an other way the enable back the desktop and taskbar | 04:55 |
| escott | atvr, no i dont but im not a kde user | 04:55 |
| atvr | escott, thanks anyway :) i will google to see :) | 04:56 |
| almoxarife | atvr: if you wanted to run gnome/unity I would look for the package 'ubuntu-desktop', install it, then look for it at log in, should be that simple, but crippling kde to get gnome/unity probably won't get you either | 04:56 |
| atvr | almoxarife, i have explained what is my problem in your prvt tchek for that :) | 04:57 |
| chamunks | can anyone provide any suggestions for this? | 04:58 |
| escott | nimbiotics, thats not right. you should have more to your .bashrc than that. if you nuked your .bashrc you can cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~ to get a default copy back, but you will have to chown username:username ~/.bashrc back to yourself | 04:58 |
| almoxarife | atvr: I am not receiving private, I have to allow for that, we can if you would like, just a minute | 04:58 |
| chamunks | noone seems to support fglrx at all :S every time i come here and drop an fglrx bomb noone ever touches it :( | 04:58 |
| atvr | almoxarife, okay i would like :) | 04:58 |
| escott | chamunks, multiple cards single server is not well supported AFAIK | 04:58 |
| chamunks | escott, well i can get it mostly working my issue is mainly that the amdcccle will not save its changes so it forces me to learn undocumented commands. | 04:59 |
| almoxarife | escott: if I get rid of /.config , won't I lose every conf regardless of which desktop it was meant for? | 04:59 |
| escott | almoxarife, thats why i would rename it not remove it | 05:00 |
| escott | almoxarife, but yes | 05:00 |
| Gallomimia | so.... still booting from the cd and the scroll lock and caps lock lights are blinking. the drives aren't grinding anymore | 05:00 |
| Gallomimia | know what that means? | 05:00 |
| almoxarife | escott: sounds scary, perhaps I won't then | 05:00 |
| escott | almoxarife, atvr im really confused who is having what problem here. hopefully what i suggested made sense to at least one of you | 05:00 |
| Ben64 | Gallomimia: kernel panic | 05:01 |
| almoxarife | escott: I came in late, sorry, and thanks | 05:01 |
| atvr | almoxarife, prvt me | 05:02 |
| Gallomimia | that's awesome. it hasn't even booted :P | 05:02 |
| escott | almoxarife, not a problem. i just didnt realize you were having the same issue as atvr | 05:02 |
| Gallomimia | thanks tho | 05:02 |
| nimbiotics | escott: you are killing me :( my user name is nimbiotics. Do I hev to type chown nimbiotics:nimbiotics ~/.bashrc? | 05:02 |
| Ben64 | Gallomimia: could be a problem with the cd or the computer | 05:02 |
| nimbiotics | escott: *have' | 05:02 |
| escott | Gallomimia, do you know if there is anything odd about your hardware | 05:02 |
| Gallomimia | not the cd. i've tested it on another system | 05:02 |
| escott | nimbiotics, yes | 05:02 |
| Gallomimia | yes. i know my hardware is totally fucked | 05:03 |
| escott | nimbiotics, sudo chown actually | 05:03 |
| nimbiotics | escott: after cp? | 05:03 |
| escott | nimbiotics, yes | 05:03 |
| Gallomimia | i swapped the cdrom out so it finally works | 05:03 |
| Gallomimia | the rest of the hardware seems to be.... alright | 05:03 |
| almoxarife | escott: no, not so much that problem, my problem has more to do with controlling gtk/gnome apps appearance in a kde environment, they tend to look dam dogged, also I struggle with the sound system trying to decide whether its being managed by kde or gnome, but I think I created that animal using gnome sound with cairo-dock on a kde desktop | 05:05 |
| nimbiotics | escott: done | 05:06 |
| escott | nimbiotics, now if you open ~/.bashrc in your text editor there should be lots of stuff and you can add that function line at the bottom | 05:07 |
| almoxarife | atvr: what's broke? | 05:07 |
| nimbiotics | escott: and use the name of my function instead of the command? | 05:07 |

| escott | Guest39313, if you are having trouble playing a dvd there is a commonly missed step of running /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 05:11 |
| escott | nimbiotics, it means "import the list of commands into the current bash environment" it is accomplished by the "." command | 05:11 |
| escott | nimbiotics, if you dont source the bashrc bash won't realize it has changed | 05:12 |

| escott | nimbiotics, functionname folder | 05:15 |
| escott | nimbiotics, whatever you decided to call it | 05:15 |
| nimbiotics | escott: much better, but now working yet. It does go to "my/root/folder/" but not to "my/root/folder/project" | 05:16 |
| jmdyck | ubuntu-newbie here: it seems I can't resize my firefox window. Is that a feature of Unity? | 05:17 |
| escott | nimbiotics, and what does the function line look like? | 05:17 |
| escott | nimbiotics, sounds like you had a space between /my/root/folder/ and $1 | 05:17 |
| escott | nimbiotics, it should be cd "/my/root/folder/$1" with no space' | 05:18 |
| nimbiotics | escott: I have [function project { cd "home/nimbiotics/Documents/Projects/dabo/$1";}] | 05:19 |
| escott | nimbiotics, rather than dealing with all this editing the bashrc you can type directly in the command line function project { cd "/home/nimbiotics/Documents/Projects/dabo/$1";} and test until it work | 05:19 |
| nimbiotics | escott: should I use single quotes? | 05:19 |
| jmdyck | Also: my launcher appears to be stuck. How do I make it retract? | 05:19 |
| escott | nimbiotics, no you want double quotes, and you need a / before home | 05:20 |
| escott | nimbiotics, once you get the function working make sure to put the working version in the .bashrc | 05:20 |
| caesar_ | escott: re-installed vbox to latest version and everything seems to be working fine | 05:22 |

| escott | !root | SVNDR | 05:25 |
| ubottu | SVNDR: 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 | 05:25 |

| SVNDR | lol | 05:26 |

| SVNDR | escott: ok, but really.. is there a way.. or nah? | 05:27 |
| nimbiotics | escott: and God Bless you | 05:27 |
| escott | SVNDR, su and sudo do different things. you cannot su because the root account is disabled | 05:27 |

| agamemnus | escott--so if the program is named "fbc", wat would I type? | 05:33 |
| escott | motherbrain, it needs a shebang "#!/bin/bash" on the first line, and it needs to be marked executable "chmod +x yourscriptfilename" | 05:33 |
| oYeVoVeYo | My laptop can't connect to internet, wired or wireless. someone plz help | 05:33 |
| agamemnus | what* | 05:34 |
| escott | motherbrain, also useful to put it in ~/bin (create the folder if it doesnt exist | 05:34 |
| escott | agamemnus, try fbc if thats not it try f[TAB][TAB] and it will list all programs that have a first letter of f | 05:34 |
| puff_ | can be sort of risky though better to just exec it | 05:34 |
| agamemnus | err | 05:35 |
| agamemnus | apt-file ??? | 05:35 |
| escott | agamemnus, apt-file is better for stuff you havent installed. dpkg is faster for things you have installed | 05:36 |
| agamemnus | i'm just trying to figure out if i have duplicae installs | 05:36 |
| escott | agamemnus, dpkg -L "full-package-name" | 05:36 |
| motherbrain | well is their away to have someone click on it with out the execute file dialog box asking them execute , execute in terminal , open , cancel? | 05:37 |
| agamemnus | i'm sorry | 05:37 |
| agamemnus | i'm retarded.. i dunno the full package name. | 05:38 |
| escott | motherbrain, i think you need the shebang. | 05:38 |
| oYeVoVeYo | Someone plz help >.< My laptop can't connect to the network, wired or wireless, when I do ifconfig it can sense wlan0 but just can't connect to the net, HEEEEELLPPP | 05:38 |
| escott | agamemnus, dpkg -l "*pattern*" to figuree that out | 05:38 |
| agamemnus | still retarded | 05:39 |
| agamemnus | michael@michael-VirtualBox:~/FreeBASIC$ dpkg -l *f* No packages found matching fbc. No packages found matching fblogo.ico. No packages found matching fblogo.xpm. No packages found matching manifest. | 05:39 |
| motherbrain | yes I have the !#/bin/sh and executable bit on chmod a+x but whenever I click on it I still get the dialog box? | 05:40 |
| motherbrain | prompting me | 05:40 |
| escott | agamemnus, so a little lesson in bash. you didn't quote *f* and so bash expanded it and what you ran was dpkg -l fbc fblogo.ico fblogo.xpm and any other filename in the working directory with an f in it | 05:40 |
| agamemnus | oh | 05:40 |
| escott | agamemnus, so dpkg -l "*fbc*" but there is no such package | 05:40 |
| A_J | motherbrain: which program is used for allocating more than 3.2gb ram in 32bit ubuntu. | 05:40 |
| escott | A_J, there is a kernel feature called PAE but there is no program to do that | 05:41 |
| escott | motherbrain, #! not !# right? | 05:41 |
| A_J | escott: some one here had told me to do something to access all my ram. what was it ? | 05:42 |
| agamemnus | maybe it doesn't count as a package? it is a compiler | 05:42 |
| escott | A_J, you probably want to install the PAE kernel | 05:42 |
| motherbrain | I meant #! | 05:42 |
| motherbrain | sorry | 05:42 |
| motherbrain | A_J not sure maybe /dev/kmem | 05:43 |
| Ben64 | the easiest thing to do would be to install 64 bit | 05:43 |
| A_J | Ben64: clean install is not an option | 05:43 |
| A_J | !PAE | 05:43 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 05:43 |
| agamemnus | but anyway, if it installed to /usr/local, how do i explicitly run it from there? | 05:43 |
| A_J | ty escott | 05:43 |
| motherbrain | escott I got what you have and it still gives me the dialog box | 05:43 |
| escott | motherbrain, im not sure | 05:44 |
| escott | motherbrain, i guess thats a rather annoying anti-feature of nautilus | 05:45 |
| pdtpatrick | Okay seriously -- what's the appropriate workaround for google with apt-get .. its always stuck on waiting for headers. Even after creating a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/<filename> that holds Acquire::http::Timeout "300"; | 05:45 |
| agamemnus | it's getting to be likelt that there are no dupes | 05:45 |
| motherbrain | I am on wattos but similar to ubuntu | 05:45 |
| agamemnus | thanks anyway escott | 05:45 |
| escott | motherbrain, you could create a desktop entry for your application | 05:45 |

| escott | motherbrain, then make a desktop entry either with alacarte or by hand | 05:47 |

| escott | motherbrain, desktop-file-[install|validate] will be useful here | 05:48 |
| === nza is now known as lncog | ||
| motherbrain | desktop-file is this a utility / program because it is not on my distro and apt-get desktop-file doesn't get it? | 05:49 |
| escott | motherbrain, its part of desktop-file-utils. these are command line utils to validate desktop files (aka launcher files) and put them in the right place for global access | 05:50 |

| passs | what is the command to change all file and folders permissions in httpdocs ? I want all permisions to 777 | 05:55 |
| Ben64 | passs: chmod changes permissions | 05:56 |
| passs | Ben all filed and folders to 777 | 05:56 |
| passs | how can i edit the command to do that? | 05:56 |
| motherbrain | I see now you could do it by hand if you created a file called filename.desktop and add the correct parameters like Type=Application , Exec=yourprogram %U | 05:56 |

| brophat | puff_ my question is how do I get it to go on and ignore that the packages are not authenticated | 06:04 |
| z_ | Ben64: It does not work: wget -c http://sourceforge.net/projects/dreamstudio/files/latest/download?source=files -O /media/EOS_DIGITAL/ | 06:07 |
| Ben64 | z_: /media/EOS_DIGITAL/ is a directory, not a file | 06:07 |
| brophat | when i try to update a particular software package i get the error msg "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." and offers me no way to go on anyway. | 06:07 |
| z_ | Ben64 Yeah, I want to downloaad the file to that directory | 06:08 |
| Ben64 | you need to specify a file with -O | 06:08 |
| z_ | Ben64 How can I download a file to that directory, What option? | 06:08 |
| Ben64 | put a filename : / | 06:08 |
| === aknm is now known as monk | ||

| z_ | Ben64 Because the wifi signal is not reliable, so sometimes its gone, I need wget to try all night, | 06:11 |

| mr-russ | In that message, it says to enable natty-update/proposed, how do I do that? | 08:00 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 08:00 |

| === kb is now known as Guest15479 | ||
| A_J| | yes mr-russ | 08:01 |
| A_J| | it's allocating just 3.2gb | 08:02 |
| mr-russ | A_J|: unless you computer support memory hoisting, or memory remapping, you just lose the RAM. | 08:02 |
| A_J| | mr-russ i think it does | 08:03 |
| mr-russ | A_J|: I've still got problems with a 3 year old pc with 4G RAM. all of your devices are mapped into the 3.2-4G space so you can use regular ram from there. | 08:03 |
| mr-russ | A_J|: do you have it enabled if it does. | 08:03 |
| mr-russ | output of dmesg where the memory is printed at time 0.000 says where the ram is allocated. | 08:03 |

| slikts | I wish it was possible not to autogroup unity icons for the same app | 08:42 |
| werever | hi! anybody can help me to find information about login to a private folder wich owner was deleted? | 08:42 |
| slikts | and to have the Unity dock horizontal | 08:42 |
| Humbedooh | I'd say complaining about webmin's package management software is well off-topic when discussing BIND configurations, so I'm well within my right to use the word nitpicking | 08:42 |
| A_J|win | slikts i wish for the second thing too | 08:42 |
| slikts | A_J|win: the first thing makes it hard to use the icons, there's an additional step to select anything | 08:43 |
| slikts | in essence, if I have more than one window per app in one screen, there's a penalty | 08:43 |
| slikts | I have enough screen estate to not benefit from the grouping, not to mention autohiding :/ | 08:44 |
| theadmin | Humbedooh: If a part of webmin is broken, we can well consider all of it being so. | 08:44 |
| llutz_ | Humbedooh: oyu might be right, but the problem is that people, once webmin is installed, will start to use it for other tasks too. that's likely to break stuff. | 08:44 |
| slikts | unity dock now feels like it was made for netbooks and netbooks only, I just don't get it | 08:45 |
| Humbedooh | luttz, that may be, but it wasn't my impression that the discussion was of total computer management | 08:45 |
| theadmin | slikts: Use something else then | 08:45 |
| slikts | and also: the always-on backlights for Unity dock hide the profile/shape of the icon, making it harder to see | 08:45 |
| * A_J|win *waves to theadmin* | 08:45 | |
| theadmin | slikts: gnome, KDE, XFCE... Unity is a work-in-progress and is pretty much useless so far | 08:45 |

| slikts | I like the dock windows 7 | 08:46 |
| slikts | *in windows 7 | 08:46 |
| werever | please help me to mount an encrypted folder, the owner doesnt exist anyore, only his home folder and his private folder encrupted | 08:46 |
| Humbedooh | but can we please stop with words like "denouncing", that's overly dramatic for one saying "nobody wants" and the other responding "nitpick" :) | 08:46 |
| theadmin | slikts: Oh, a dock? Hm... xfce4-panel can be made to resemble Windows 7 almost exactly, but honestly if you keep using Unity you'll have to keep both | 08:46 |
| slikts | theadmin: I'll look at it | 08:47 |

| Humbedooh | :D | 08:48 |
| theadmin | Humbedooh: I understand your point of view and it is correct, however discussing software that can (even partially) break a user's system is not a good idea in this channel. I'm not really sure if it's allowed, llutz_ may know that better. | 08:48 |
| Humbedooh | I did add a second line saying "although I'm not supposed to say that" or something | 08:49 |

| Humbedooh | stepnjump, google "php for dummies" or "asp for dummies" or whichever language you like | 09:03 |
| Rods_Tiger | or better still: http://rubyonrails.org/ | 09:04 |
| llutz_ | stepnjump2: i only know selfhtml.org but i'm not dealing with html/php myself | 09:04 |
| theadmin | Perl > PHP imo | 09:04 |
| Humbedooh | that's debatable, Rods_Tiger :p | 09:05 |
| Rods_Tiger | perl isn't a good place to start though | 09:05 |
| stepnjump2 | Humbedooh, that's a good idea... I know they will be dropping the flash at one point... so I have to find a good language.. php is good but complex. I think it will be there to stay. Is there a channel here on ubuntu about web programming I could join? | 09:05 |
| Humbedooh | perl indeed, but not a lot of perl hosting sites these days sadly | 09:05 |
| stepnjump2 | thanks for the link llutz_ | 09:05 |
| Humbedooh | try #php, #perl, #python etc? | 09:06 |
| stepnjump2 | theadmin, what is Perl > PHP imo? | 09:06 |
| Rods_Tiger | for someone with no prior experience, I'd take them through ruby on rails first, and perhaps php via a framework as a second choice | 09:06 |
| Humbedooh | or #lua if you're feeling odd | 09:06 |
| student | need polish canal | 09:06 |
| theadmin | stepnjump2: Means "I think Perl is better than PHP" | 09:06 |
| llutz_ | !pl | 09:06 |
| ubottu | Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 09:06 |
| Rods_Tiger | lua for web apps? | 09:06 |
| wadkar | how to make sudo run a particular script without password and a tty ? | 09:06 |
| Humbedooh | you don't? :> | 09:07 |
| stepnjump2 | theadmin do some people still use perl today? | 09:07 |
| wadkar | Humbedooh: yeah, I know, I shouldn't , but I want to know anyways ;) | 09:07 |
| heinz_ | stepnjump2: sure | 09:07 |
| Humbedooh | Rods_Tiger, I use Lua the same way people use php :) | 09:08 |
| stepnjump2 | mmm... ok I think it looks a bit like C from what I remember seing years ago | 09:08 |
| stepnjump2 | theadmin, are you using weechat-curses? | 09:08 |
| theadmin | stepnjump2: It's the most popular CGI language actually... And no, I'm using KVIrc | 09:09 |
| slikts | theadmin: of course, because "there's more than way to do it" mantra is NOT a way to design an error- and confusion-prone language | 09:09 |
| stepnjump2 | theadmin: ok I saw the column there so I assumed lol | 09:09 |
| theadmin | slikts: I'm not a Perl fan myself, but I prefer it over PHP | 09:09 |
| wadkar | found it, set visudo to allow userName ALL = NOPASSWD /path/to/script , and invoke as sudo -n /path/to/script | 09:10 |
| slikts | theadmin: your preference doesn't mean that one is better | 09:10 |
| cristian_c | Hello, I do not know how to deal with a problem | 09:10 |
| ubuntuaddicted | who can tell me which motherboard with many SATA ports that can run 16GB of RAM and has 6 core CPU support for Ubuntu 64bit | 09:10 |
| theadmin | slikts: I said, "I think". Meaning "in my opinion". Meaning "for me". Meaning "this works better than that in my cases" | 09:10 |
| theadmin | ubuntuaddicted: Uh, anything will have support for Ubuntu, I'd ask in ##hardware | 09:11 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ok, thanks | 09:11 |
| ubuntuaddicted | theadmin usb 3.0? | 09:11 |
| slikts | theadmin: is that as opposed to the things you say but don't think? | 09:11 |
| theadmin | slikts: No, it's as opposed to think that aren't in my opinion | 09:12 |
| cristian_c | I do not know how to extract information about the audio server or manager used at this time by the system via the terminal or file | 09:12 |
| theadmin | ubuntuaddicted: Hm, idk if that works yet, not so sure | 09:12 |
| ubuntuaddicted | k, over at hardware. thanks | 09:12 |
| orastes | wadkar : you may competely disble sudo to ask pass (not recomended) "visudo" and if you press both alt and f2 you may type your command. | 09:12 |
| cristian_c | I tried using the ps command in combination with pulse or other servers, but nothing is returned | 09:13 |
| wadkar | orastes: thanks, I would rather specify NOPASSWD to specific script, I just need to figure out how to run `sudo /path/to/script` without a TTY | 09:13 |
| Rods_Tiger | Humbedooh: I must investigate lua for web apps, then. Thanks | 09:13 |
| ubuntuaddicted | theadmin, i just got made fun of for using ubuntu in the hardware channel. LOL | 09:14 |
| cristian_c | Is there one way to find this thing? | 09:14 |
| theadmin | ubuntuaddicted: Unsurprising. It's generally considered the "noob distro" | 09:14 |
| eqq | !hello | 09:20 |
| _NiC | that's a bit unfair, isn't it? | 09:20 |
| kika | hi | 09:20 |
| theadmin | _NiC: Maybe somewhat | 09:21 |
| _NiC | :) | 09:21 |
| _NiC | I use it because it usually just works. Which is exactly what I need for my workstation. | 09:21 |
| remoteCTRL | ok guys my linux has been hacked | 09:24 |
| === heinz_ is now known as heinz | ||
| remoteCTRL | how the hell is that even possible?? | 09:25 |
| cristian_c | I tried also with status alsa-store | 09:25 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: What makes you say that? | 09:25 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, do you know how they got in? | 09:25 |
| cristian_c | but the daemon is not started | 09:25 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, and what exactly do you mean by "hacked"? | 09:26 |
| stepnjump2 | For databases, is mySQL still available for free in ubuntu? | 09:26 |
| _NiC | stepnjump2, yes | 09:26 |
| ofaurax_boulot | does someone knows a really working way of rebooting network ? | 09:26 |
| ofaurax_boulot | everytime I try, I finish by rebooting | 09:26 |
| cristian_c | I tried also with service pulseaudio status | 09:26 |
| cristian_c | but pulseaudio is not installed | 09:26 |
| _NiC | ofaurax_boulot, /etc/init.d/networking restart maybe? | 09:26 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: _NiC: we are a university institute, the firewall operator of the university wrote me that there have been complaints that somebody from within our ip-range tries to bruteforce break passwords on ssh connections | 09:27 |
| _NiC | ofaurax_boulot, don't do it remotely though.. :-) | 09:27 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: You probably want alsasound | 09:27 |
| _NiC | (unless inside screen) | 09:27 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: That doesn't mean it was "hacked" | 09:27 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: _NiC: i have meanwhile found the computer, it has a gazillion of auth denied entries in the logs, but i have absolutely no clue what part of the os has been compromised | 09:27 |
| ubuntuaddicted | theadmin, lol | 09:27 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: You sure you don't have a student with an account being a bad person? | 09:27 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, I do not know how to retrieve this information via the terminal | 09:28 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, attempts to bruteforce a login either way does not mean you've been hacked. | 09:28 |
| cristian_c | or via file | 09:28 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: _NiC: and frankly spoken i have no idea how to find out | 09:28 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: sudo service alsasound status | 09:28 |
| remoteCTRL | _NiC: ermm... this comuter is the originator not the target from what i understand... | 09:28 |
| cristian_c | ok | 09:28 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: What are you trying to do? | 09:28 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, alsasound: unrecognized service | 09:29 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: Doesn't matter, as I said, you probably have a student that is doing the brute force attack. Attacks originating from your machine doesn't 100% mean you have been hacked. | 09:29 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, check the logs then. who was logged in etc. check their history. | 09:29 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: What are you trying to do? | 09:29 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, if you're lucky/they're stupid, they have left lots of evidence. | 09:30 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: well there is a possibility that one of our students is doing this, but as they already know that i am onto this, and i am also sure that they dont want to get fired (we have only phd candidates), i am confident that this does not come from the inside... | 09:30 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: Like _NiC said, if they are stupid you'll see evidence. Check /tmp for fun named files. Seems all the idiots make that mistake. :) | 09:30 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, I need to discover the current audio server so I can use the appropriate command to manipulate the audio channels of the mixer | 09:30 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, bad password on an account? Can be easily guessed. Check which IP's logins come from. | 09:30 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: lol, like what? | 09:31 |
| driiper | Hello! I have a Web Server ( Apache2) on my ubuntu server using port 80. Now i also need a HTTP/SOCKS/HTTPS proxy server on the same port. (80), is there any way to have both services on the same port , or atleast so you can connect to both via port 80 | 09:31 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: If you don't have pulse audio or alsasound available, you don't have sound set up. | 09:31 |
| stepnjump2 | thanks _NiC | 09:31 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, if 99% of logins is from a campus, and 1% is from china, brazil, uganda or other weird countries.. you've found it. | 09:31 |
| _NiC | (no offense to anyone living in a weird country ;-) | 09:31 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: _NiC: i got one general prolem here: i have a newly implemented ldap database for user authentication and i have not implemented the password encvryption yet. so curretnly we are sending the pwds cleartext over the net. i have no clue who is really loggend in :( | 09:32 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, in what sense 'I don not have sound set up'? | 09:32 |
| cristian_c | *do not | 09:32 |
| remoteCTRL | geeez what a mess | 09:32 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: Does your sound work? | 09:32 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: You should still have auth logs in /var/log | 09:32 |
| llutz_ | remoteCTRL: and you seriously ask how a linux-system can get hacked? | 09:33 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, yes | 09:33 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: Then you should have either alsasound or pulse audio installed. Which is installed when you look in the package manager? | 09:33 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: Wow, really? You seriously are passing your passwords clear text over a network and you wonder how it got hacked? | 09:34 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, pulseaudio is not installed | 09:34 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, I check for alsasound | 09:35 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: It's probably called alsa-tools, not alsasound in the package manager. :) | 09:36 |
| greenit | hi, i have a problem... i bought a samsung ssd, installed it in the computer and now i am using it as my primary hd... i installed win7 (where i am right now) and then i tried to install ubuntu on it too... however, there was a problem i think. there were many different installoptions, for example upgrade the other ubuntu, reinstall ubuntu, delet everything and install ubuntu... i have chosen advanced, made a /, a /home and a swap- | 09:37 |
| greenit | partition and thought its ok... ubuntu recognized the ssd as sdb btw - but when i start it immediately starts win7, without grub. for info: i have 2 fully functional operating-systems on the other hard disk (ubuntu 11.10 and win7)... how do i get ubuntu working on my ssd? | 09:37 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, the package is not installed | 09:37 |
| remoteCTRL | how could they possibly have foudn out that quickly? :D | 09:37 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 09:37 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, 11.10 | 09:37 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: I refuse to dignify that with an answer. | 09:37 |
| driiper | Hello! I have a Web Server ( Apache2) on my ubuntu server using port 80. Now i also need a HTTP/SOCKS/HTTPS proxy server on the same port. (80), is there any way to have both services on the same port , or atleast so you can connect to both via port 80 | 09:38 |
| iceroot | driiper: no | 09:38 |
| driiper | damn :( | 09:39 |
| iceroot | driiper: use 8080 for the proxy | 09:39 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: Have you looked at the online help docs? | 09:39 |
| driiper | the problem is that the only port open for connection is port 80 | 09:39 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, I'll check | 09:39 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: http://tinyurl.com/7tlww6p | 09:39 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, *I'll check for it | 09:39 |
| iceroot | driiper: i dont know a solution where you can have multiple programs on the same port | 09:40 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: llutz go easy on be guys, we had a crash which was definitely not my fault but caused by a hardware failure, and that the backups weren't suitable wasnt either, i am only the guy who can clean up the mess... (we had to have an authentication quickly as noone could work otherwise...) | 09:40 |
| stepnjump2 | Looks like perl executes faster than anything else out there! | 09:40 |

| stepnjump2 | ooops sorry | 09:40 |
| stepnjump2 | sorry didn't mean to flood... this URL is ridiculously long | 09:40 |
| greenit | stepnjump, use http://bit.ly | 09:41 |
| greenit | stepnjump, use http://bitly.com * | 09:41 |
| iceroot | stepnjump2: but what does that have to do with ubuntu? | 09:41 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: Check your auth logs. If the attacks are still happening, get a known good copy of the standard tools on to the system. Things like top, ps, ls, etc.. Use those tools and the auth logs to figure out who is doing what. | 09:41 |
| stepnjump2 | Here it is: http://sites.google.com/site/onlyjob/arena/speed_close.png | 09:41 |
| stepnjump2 | iceroot, I was talking about scripting languages earlier with some guys | 09:42 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, thanks, there are six guides. But I do not know which of these is suited to my problem | 09:42 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: What is your problem? | 09:42 |
| iceroot | stepnjump2: ok, i guess #perl, #bash or ##scripting is a better place | 09:42 |
| greenit | can no1 help me? | 09:42 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: I still don't know. All you said was you wanted to use a mixer. | 09:42 |
| iceroot | !ask | greenit | 09:42 |
| ubottu | greenit: 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 | 09:42 |
| driiper | Yeh your probably right iceroot. What i was thinking was a application to like, Lets say i use Apache on port 8000 and a proxy on port 8080. then a program to loop everything into port 80 :D like a reverse proxy if you want. | 09:42 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, which server is using the system at this time | 09:42 |
| cristian_c | :) | 09:43 |
| driiper | But ill try to get hold of a new IP adress, and ill set up a second server for proxy | 09:43 |
| iceroot | driiper: no way to open the firewall? | 09:43 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: Based on what you've said, neither. Though I'll assume it's pulse. If you run "ps aux |grep pulse" what do you get? | 09:44 |
| greenit | well... then i will shorten the question: i have a new hd and want to install ubuntu on it, but it doesn't recognize it (not even grub shows on boot)... plz help me getting ubuntu running | 09:44 |
| iceroot | greenit: does the bios detect the hdd? | 09:44 |
| stepnjump2 | tnx iceroot | 09:44 |
| _NiC | greenit, did you install grub on /dev/sda or sdb? | 09:45 |
| greenit | iceroot, yes, i have installed win7 on it and it works... | 09:45 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: mybe this: rtkit 1595 0.0 0.0 21792 2068 ? SNl 2011 0:08 /usr/lib/rtkit/rtkit-daemon :D | 09:45 |
| greenit | _NiC, i have installed grub on sdb | 09:45 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: Yup, there you go. | 09:45 |
| iceroot | greenit: and the ubuntu-installer is not detectiing the drive? | 09:45 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, the command returns only the grep process | 09:45 |
| _NiC | greenit, if the bios doesn't read sdb during boot, it won't see grub. | 09:45 |
| driiper | iceroot: sadly not as i'm sitting on a university :( | 09:45 |
| greenit | iceroot, it is also detecting the drive, but as sdb | 09:45 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: That is what we call a compromised system. You're gonna need to start from a bare install and a restore from a known good backup. | 09:45 |
| ServerSage | cristian_c: I have NO idea how you have sound working then. | 09:46 |
| iceroot | greenit: that is not a problem | 09:46 |
| iceroot | greenit: tell the bios to boot from the second hdd instead of the first | 09:46 |
| greenit | _NiC, erm.... and why does it start win7 then immediately after boot? on sda there are 2 working operatingsystems (win7, ubuntu) | 09:46 |
| AziaBurgi | hello i've just got back from holiday to find our server had been turned off and now mysql won't start, any ideas? | 09:46 |
| cristian_c | ServerSage, ok, thank you anyway for the support :) | 09:46 |
| iceroot | ServerSage: http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/lucid/rtkit | 09:46 |
| _NiC | greenit, because it reads the windows bootloader | 09:46 |
| _NiC | AziaBurgi, yes, check the mysql errorlog. | 09:47 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: no worry about rtkit its nothing bad | 09:47 |
| AziaBurgi | _NiC: where would i find that? | 09:47 |
| greenit | iceroot, _NiC ok, i will try your tips, thx for help :) | 09:47 |
| iceroot | AziaBurgi: sudo service mysql start | 09:47 |
| ServerSage | iceroot: Ha..ha…ha. Oops. Support while installing. Somebody gets the short end of the stick every time. :) | 09:47 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: Never mind, I'm probably retarded tonight. | 09:47 |
| _NiC | AziaBurgi, usually in /var/log/mysql or the datadirectory of mysql | 09:47 |
| _NiC | AziaBurgi, which is possibly /var/lib/mysql | 09:48 |
| AziaBurgi | monkeyfish@beast:~$ sudo service mysql start | 09:48 |
| AziaBurgi | [sudo] password for monkeyfish: | 09:48 |
| AziaBurgi | start: Job is already running: mysql | 09:48 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: i beg your pardon?? | 09:48 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/lucid/rtkit | 09:49 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: if i am correct ServerSage told you that your system is compromised because there is something running called rtkit | 09:49 |
| kika | hhi | 09:50 |
| remoteCTRL | well i thought so too... | 09:50 |
| kika | i have ubuntu 32 can i upgrade it to ubuntu 64? | 09:50 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: but its not | 09:50 |
| iceroot | kika: no | 09:50 |
| iceroot | kika: only with a reinstall | 09:50 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: phhhewww.... eraltime kit not root kit... | 09:50 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: correct | 09:51 |
| kika | pfff ok worths the reinstall in pocessor performance? | 09:51 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, do you have a backup of this server? | 09:51 |
| iceroot | kika: there will be no performance-difference you will notice | 09:51 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: phew i already thought all of the computers were compromised, as this runs on wach and every one... | 09:51 |
| _NiC | kika, I don't think there's a real need unless you have memory you can't address. | 09:51 |
| iceroot | kika: amd64 is usefull when you have 4GB of memory or more | 09:52 |
| kika | i have a slow grafic card and im looking to get some extra performence | 09:52 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: Even if you figure this out, and it turns out to be somebody that sniffed a password, they have that password. You are going t have to force users to change their passwords at some point. | 09:52 |
| iceroot | kika: that has nothing to do with amd64 | 09:52 |
| _NiC | kika, then get a new gfx-card :) | 09:52 |
| kika | its a laptop | 09:52 |
| remoteCTRL | _NiC: we had several powerlosses in our building due to a broken waterpipe, so no, the machine with the database was slightly damaged and then being backuped with the damaged system. | 09:52 |
| _NiC | new laptop, then? :-) | 09:52 |
| iceroot | kika: what card? maybe you are using the free drivers which dont have 3d support | 09:52 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: unfortunately i had no clean backup anymore... | 09:53 |
| remoteCTRL | so i reinstalled | 09:53 |
| kika | i think is a intel integrated with memory shared | 09:53 |
| iceroot | kika: ok then you are running the best driver already | 09:53 |
| lillo1234 | hi | 09:53 |
| kika | but in windows runs faster | 09:53 |
| kika | ... | 09:53 |
| iceroot | kika: what is your definition of "slow"? games? videos? desktop? | 09:53 |
| kika | in game | 09:53 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, if you had a backup of your binaries, you could md5sum a known-good binary on the backup and compared to your system (while booting from a CD or something) to check if your binaries have been tampered with. | 09:53 |
| kika | when im in menu all graphics are perfect, but when in game all gets slow | 09:54 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: ServerSage: installing rkhunter and chkrootkit... | 09:54 |
| iceroot | kika: what game? using wine? or a native game? | 09:54 |
| kika | native game HON | 09:54 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, or you could of course get the md5sum on a similar server with the same software, that you know is safe. | 09:54 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: no need for that | 09:54 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: the one computer is still being origin for ssh attakcs... | 09:54 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: ssh attacks are normal | 09:55 |
| kika | any way to improve hthe grafics somehow? | 09:55 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: there are thousands a day on linux-systems | 09:55 |
| iceroot | kika: i dont think so | 09:55 |
| remoteCTRL | _NiC: i do get the point, unfortunately i dont have any of them anymore... when i saw the backup was no use i deleted them in a tantrum :D | 09:55 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: that are just bruteforces on port 22 | 09:55 |
| lillo1234 | !list | 09:55 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 09:55 |
| kika | cuz i noticed that if i lower the graphics in options get uglier but same slow speed | 09:55 |

| ServerSage | lyn: You might want to try a / there. :) | 10:02 |
| metaspike | Vlad_. im not sure. what I do know is that if you write grub to the mbr of the boot disk, and have a valid parition for /boot to reside, whether in its own parition or not, it should work. | 10:02 |
| remoteCTRL | _NiC: found basically nothing but gave two warnings, one for /usr/bin/mail and one for /usr/bin/bsd-mailx | 10:03 |

| vouth | almoxarife: I archived them when I got to the fallback x mode. The fallback mode was barely functional (I couldn't get it to log in or restart x or anything). It looks like something to do with libc.so.6 but it would be nice to know what that was :-) | 10:07 |

| almoxarife | dyd: there is a 'don't touch keymap' where in the install of a ubuntu version? | 10:08 |
| kika | hi, can i set virtual memory in ubuntu like windows? | 10:09 |
| metaspike | opalepatrick, there was this program on windoze that was really good (yes it does happen now and then.) it was called cdroller (and yes, it was a commercial product). anyway, it could read cd's on a sector by sector basis and extract files from paritially damaged cds, im sure there's a linux equivilant that can do the same and proberly better. | 10:09 |
| vouth | almoxarife: uh, *not* cool. :-S I can't boot to my regular system and am stuck using this problematic, buggy, slow testing one!! :-P | 10:09 |
| Vlad___ | metaspike: mbr? I did't make a separate partition for /boot. I can't install grub to "/boot" or "/". Its needed for separate partition ~ 1mb. But i don't know where. One on raid or two on HDD used for raid. | 10:09 |
| kika | hi, can i set virtual memory in ubuntu like windows? | 10:09 |
| vouth | almoxarife: The problem appeared right after doing some updates. | 10:09 |

| Vlad___ | metaspike: GRUB need a separate partition when Guid Partition Table(GPT) used. | 10:11 |
| ikonia | ahhh, there we go | 10:11 |
| kika | how do i know how much swap i have? | 10:11 |
| vouth | kika: Yes, it can be configured. Swap space in Linux is usually stored in a dedicated partition. So basically it's just a matter of resizing that partition. (GParted makes that quite a manageable task). | 10:12 |
| opalepatrick | metaspike, yes I have used a few, but the problem may be that brasero didnt burn properly... utter, utter pain. The DVD's are OK I believe - checked them anyway | 10:12 |
| metaspike | opalepatrick, there's two programs you want to checkout... recoverdm and dares | 10:12 |
| vouth | kika: try running top to monitor swap space | 10:13 |
| ikonia | swapon -s | 10:13 |
| metaspike | and packagesearch, it's a great way to find packages :) | 10:13 |

| kika | linux swap is 7.7 gb is that good enouf? | 10:17 |
| _NiC | kika, swapping will *not* increase your performance, that's for sure.. | 10:17 |
| metaspike | I honestly don't know Vlad___, ubottu suggests https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto besides that I cant help sorry | 10:17 |
| oYeVoVeYo | metaspike, when I do ifconfig -a, it comes up with "lo.......(followed by bunch of stuff)" and "wlan0........... (follored by bunch of stuff)" | 10:18 |
| almoxarife | vouth: also install fglrx-updates | 10:18 |

| vouth | almoxarife: ok, thanks. | 10:18 |
| almoxarife | vouth: also install fglrx-update/s , can't remember | 10:18 |
| _NiC | kika, to get more cpu-time, you need to stop some processes you don't need. | 10:19 |
| vouth | almoxarife: ah, well, aptitude will probably sort it out for me :-) | 10:19 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Be right back then. | 10:19 |
| lasher_ | can some one point me to where to find how to register freenode | 10:19 |
| _NiC | kika, and/or use more lightweight versions of software.. for example the window manager | 10:19 |
| metaspike | oYeVoVeYo- lspci | grep Ethernet | pastebinit - send us the link if it has anything. | 10:19 |
| oYeVoVeYo | Even when I flug in the cable, it still doesn't work | 10:19 |
| oYeVoVeYo | kay, wait a sec | 10:20 |
| _NiC | kika, disable fancy effects, etc | 10:20 |
| tristan1 | biggest concern is trying to find out why i cant add the media control back into the sound task manager icon.. im sure its something simple im overlooking.. | 10:20 |
| metaspike | lasher_, /msg Nickserv identify (mypassword) - think you have to register or some such, google it :P | 10:20 |
| oYeVoVeYo | metaspike, it says the program 'pastebinit' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 10:21 |
| lasher_ | ty | 10:21 |
| kika | where can i disa | 10:21 |
| kika | disable that in ubuntu 11.10 | 10:21 |
| metaspike | oYeVoVeYo, bash speaks of wisdom then | 10:21 |
| almoxarife | tristan1: look for all the 'extensions' associated with the stuff you are missing, seems 'extensions' is the 'new' thing that makes things happen | 10:22 |
| oYeVoVeYo | so I should do the sudo apt-get install pastebinit? @ metaspike | 10:22 |
| metaspike | yes | 10:22 |
| tristan1 | almoxarife: thank you.. where do i check to see where and what extensions are installed for my sound manager and power applet.. | 10:22 |
| zork | oYeVoVeYo, be sure to put a pipe | in front of pastebinit. | 10:23 |
| almoxarife | tristan1: how did you do it in the past? | 10:23 |
| metaspike | kika, you can tweak compiz with ccsm, in terminal run - sudo rcconf - for nitty gritty services configuration or just remove/replace gnome altogether. | 10:23 |
| oYeVoVeYo | metaspike, it says E: Couldn't find package pastebinit ... FYI, I can't connect to the internet, wired or wireless | 10:23 |
| oYeVoVeYo | zork, O.o" I didn't quite get you | 10:23 |
| metaspike | actually, the program called bum might be more appropriate than rcconf for you gui easness | 10:24 |
| zork | oYeVoVeYo, my bad. I thought you were *using* pastebinit, not installing it. | 10:25 |
| tristan1 | it just worked before i upgraded to 11.10.. now its basically a super basic applet.. and rhythmbox for example has an option to include play and skip ect. but if i check yes it doesnt do anything to my sound applet. dont know why the applet doesnt respond to that setting now.. | 10:25 |
| kika | kika@kika-Presario-CQ56-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo reconf | 10:25 |

| Calinou | I'm on ubuntu 11.10. Tried recovery mode, nothing could help | 10:29 |
| metaspike | Calinou, there's a few ways you could fix this, one would be to edit the /etc/init.d/gdm script from a live cd | 10:30 |
| Calinou | booting works, but when it finishes (when the desktop is supposed to show) it just turns black and shows a console with a bunch of messages | 10:30 |
| Calinou | ok metaspike - edit what, and where? | 10:30 |
| tristan1 | calinou: tried the command startx | 10:31 |
| Calinou | can't type any command :/ | 10:31 |
| tristan1 | calinou: even if you try ctrl+c | 10:32 |
| Calinou | when should I press those keys? in grub? | 10:32 |
| tristan1 | when it freezes at the end | 10:32 |
| Calinou | k | 10:32 |
| metaspike | yeah, that and ctrl+alt+f1 to f8 | 10:33 |

| Calinou | ctrl+c doesn't seem to do anything | 10:34 |
| metaspike | opalepatrick, i don't know- ask me if you really get stuck :) | 10:34 |
| mkanyicy | sveinse, you need to do a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' | 10:34 |
| opalepatrick | lol... thnaks metaspike | 10:35 |
| tristan1 | How do i explore extensions for my power and sound applets... | 10:35 |
| mkanyicy | sveinse, sometimes some packages are kept back via a 'sudo apt-get upgrade' | 10:35 |
| sveinse | mkanyicy: That is what I'm doing. And it probably an error in the package deps. But I need to know why and where the error is | 10:35 |
| mkanyicy | which command are you running, sveinse? upgrade or dist-upgrade? | 10:36 |
| sveinse | dist-upgrade | 10:36 |
| mkanyicy | Calinou, what are you trying to do | 10:36 |
| Calinou | ctrl+alt+f1 then startx works, shows me the cursor and the desktop but nothing else | 10:36 |
| Calinou | fix my system, proably by switching to lightdm | 10:36 |
| oYeVoVeYo | If I install the pastebinit can it make my wired connection work? | 10:37 |
| Calinou | the desktop now shows, and icons/etc | 10:37 |
| metaspike | Calinou, from that terminal. sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm - or sudo aptitude --reinstall purge gdm | 10:37 |
| metaspike | or some such. | 10:37 |
| mkanyicy | sveinse, im clueless then, good luck, thou | 10:37 |
| metaspike | maybe that was --reinstall install gdm :) cant remember :D | 10:38 |

| vouth | almoxarife: sorry to break the news to you but I'm back again. I can't even figure out how to connect to the Internet to download the package updates from the root shell prompt recovery console thingy. :-( | 10:56 |
| sumit | I installed ubuntu 11.10 with dual boot with windows and uncertainity the grub is dissappeared how to resolve this problem | 10:57 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: what ubuntu-version? | 10:57 |
| iceroot | !grub | sumit | 10:57 |
| ubottu | sumit: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 10:57 |
| iceroot | sumit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 10:57 |
| vouth | almoxarife: I couldn't find any package fglrx-updates. | 10:57 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: frankly spoken linux-mint, the latest, so ubuntu 11.10 basically... | 10:57 |
| iceroot | !mint | remoteCTRL | 10:57 |
| ubottu | remoteCTRL: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 10:57 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: we dont know what they are doing on there system so we can not and will not support mint here, sorry | 10:58 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: give an admin a break dude, its the same system, and the only computer running mint, all others are ubuntu... | 10:58 |
| tristan1 | iceroot: any idea where to look to see what version of the applet im using.. i should be able to type apt-get install gnome-power-applet or something along those lines.. | 10:58 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: i do understand that! :) | 10:58 |
| almoxarife | vouth: if you type 'login' at the prompt you are one, what do you get? | 10:58 |
| vouth | almoxarife: "login: Cannot possibly work without effective root" | 10:59 |
| iceroot | tristan1: apt-cache policy gnome-power-manager | 10:59 |
| vouth | almoxarife: That's not the one that's having trouble though. | 10:59 |
| almoxarife | vouth: I assume you are hardwired to the internet? | 10:59 |
| tristan1 | vouth: sudo login | 10:59 |
| fishyfantasy | Hello, I have a black Macbook 2,1. Can I install Ubuntu version 11.10? Is this the right section to ask....? | 10:59 |
| iceroot | !mac | fishyfantasy | 11:00 |
| ubottu | fishyfantasy: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 11:00 |
| vouth | almoxarife: This is my known-somewhat-good boot on a separate disk :-P Yes, I am. "autumnfairy-P4X400-8235 login: " | 11:00 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: have a look there about the support | 11:00 |
| fishyfantasy | Great, thanks! | 11:00 |
| almoxarife | vouth: the machine with the issues connected to the internet? | 11:00 |
| vouth | almoxarife: yup, in the other install. | 11:01 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Just so you know they're both maverick | 11:01 |
| tristan1 | iceroot: thank you | 11:01 |
| almoxarife | vouth: the machine with the issues, you are at a root terminal? | 11:01 |
| asimoo | hi | 11:02 |
| metaspikes | remoteCTRL: i dunno, have a look with wireshark or something. i wouldnt recommend running anything after 10.04 on a production machine either as there are more bugs and more secuirty issues | 11:02 |
| vouth | almoxarife: yup. They're the same machine, just different disks | 11:02 |
| tristan1 | iceroot: any idea of how to roll back to an older version.. | 11:03 |
| almoxarife | vouth: login to your user account from where you are | 11:03 |
| vouth | almoxarife: I choose what OS to boot using a Super GRUB disk because I haven't figured out yet how to make normal GRUB work :-S | 11:03 |
| iceroot | tristan1: only by hand with dpkg but that is normally not a good idea | 11:03 |
| iceroot | tristan1: because of dependencys | 11:03 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Uhm, no idea how. Sorry :~( | 11:03 |
| iceroot | tristan1: or do you mean an older ubuntu-version? | 11:03 |
| fishyfantasy | I have a Macbook 2,1 and can support up to Maverick only. Does that mean I cannot install Ubuntu 11.10 at all? | 11:03 |
| almoxarife | vouth: type login | 11:03 |
| remoteCTRL | metaspikes: the upgrades are a pain in the a** but other than that we do love our ubuntu. | 11:04 |
| tristan1 | iceroot: i was referring to just the applet.. think its not worth the trouble?? | 11:04 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: that does only mean (imo) newer versions are not tested | 11:04 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Oh, like I did to get the login prompt earlier? | 11:04 |
| iceroot | tristan1: i think so too | 11:04 |
| almoxarife | vouth: type login | 11:04 |
| vouth | almoxarife: I ran sudo login; got back "autumnfairy-P4X400-8235 login:" | 11:05 |
| almoxarife | vouth: did I ask you to sudo? | 11:05 |
| tristan1 | banshee-extension-soundmenu was what i was looking for it turns out... fixed it i think.. its in progress... | 11:05 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Earlier yes | 11:05 |
| metaspikes | remoteCTRL: if you really want to secure a system, i recommend running bastilla and /or checksecurity also, as a easy way to righten security | 11:06 |
| almoxarife | vouth: presently? | 11:06 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Or excuse me, that was tristan1, sorry :-P | 11:06 |
| metaspikes | remoteCTRL: sorry. bastille | 11:06 |
| almoxarife | vouth: one more time, you at root? | 11:06 |
| remoteCTRL | metaspikes: interesting! are those like virus scans? | 11:06 |
| remoteCTRL | metaspikes: or more like ACL enforcement? | 11:07 |
| fishyfantasy | iceroot: I see. I do get problems like sound and overheating in 11.10. I'm not sure if I can just stick to Maverick... can I install software like GIMP in the lastet version or I can get that only in 11.10? | 11:07 |
| vouth | almoxarife: nope; I assumed it. (Sorry, stupid.) No, I'm not. I'm logged in to the graphical OS on the other hard drive. If I want to log in to the root recovery prompt for the other system, I have to leave IRC and reboot the computer into the other drive | 11:07 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: you can install gimp for every ubuntu release | 11:07 |
| metaspikes | remoteCTRL: no, clamav is the only antivirus really in the repo, those are security hardening programs that check permissions and other things that the default distrobutions where to pansy to impliment, or that become faulty as things get changed. | 11:07 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: at packages.ubuntu.com you can search for software and see in what releases the software is | 11:07 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: normally (and the common software always) is available for all ubuntu-releases | 11:08 |
| almoxarife | vouth: sounds complicated | 11:08 |
| vouth | almoxarife: That is, no, you did not presently ask me to use sudo, and no, I am not at a root prompt. Running login currently (without sudo) produces: "login: Cannot possibly work without effective root" | 11:08 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: the best for security is "not using ubuntu if not lts, not using forks of ubuntu, always installing security updates, always having doo passwords" | 11:08 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Basically I have two OSes dual-booting. One works, one doesn't. I'm chatting with you using the one that works. The one that doesn't is what we're chatting about. | 11:09 |
| fishyfantasy | iceroot: Thanks! I will think about whether to use 11.10 or 10.10. | 11:09 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: then you dont need any strange antivir, antirootkit or something like that | 11:09 |
| metaspikes | fishyfantasy: i suggest you run powertop, bum, and ccsm - to ligthen the load and conserve power | 11:09 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: the support for 10.10 will end on 04.2012 | 11:09 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: so you dont get updates after that | 11:09 |
| almoxarife | vouth: got it, so how can you be seeing errors? and pasting them? | 11:09 |
| fishyfantasy | iceroot: Oh, right. =( | 11:10 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: you can always use a live-cd to test if it is working well | 11:10 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: e.g. 11.10 as a live-cd | 11:10 |
| fishyfantasy | metaspikes: Great, will google more about them =) thanks | 11:10 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Those errors only apply to the currently functional system. The broken one is dead as a doornail (I can't get X or networking on it). | 11:10 |
| metaspikes | remoteCTRL: iceroot is also correct however, you gotta nip this on the bud i think that mint is a bad idea for you at this point. good luck | 11:11 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: also (only my opinion) ubuntu is bad for secure servers | 11:11 |
| vouth | almoxarife: That's what I meant when I said "That's not the one that's having trouble though." earlier. | 11:11 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: i would suggest debian instead of ubuntu | 11:11 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Probably I was unclear :-P | 11:11 |
| remoteCTRL | metaspikes: similar to monit, so to speak | 11:12 |
| almoxarife | vouth: make up my mind? | 11:12 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Or more accurately, *definitely* I was unclear. | 11:12 |
| metaspikes | debian stable - it might be 'dated' but at least its secure. | 11:12 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: i am afraid you got a point there... | 11:12 |
| KinG`PiN | I used to like ubuntu, untill it started to look like OS X | 11:12 |
| fishyfantasy | iceroot: I see. I did try it before installing. No sound when using Headphone but it works without headphone. Not sure how to fix that. | 11:12 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Uhm, wut? Sorry :-S Think I missed something there. | 11:12 |
| ServerSage | remoteCTRL: Huh? I haven't said anything in like an hour. Hehe. | 11:12 |
| AxonetBE | how can I see how much mails there are send with postfix? | 11:12 |
| almoxarife | vouth: when you are on the machine with the problems we talk, be resourceful, find a way to chat | 11:12 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: definitely aggree on that; all our backends run on debian | 11:13 |
| metaspikes | fishyfantasy: have a look in alsamixer for a headphone channel | 11:13 |
| iceroot | fishyfantasy: sounds like a common mute-isse, syou should have a look at "alsamixer" | 11:13 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: the xen hosts as well as the guests... | 11:13 |
| fishyfantasy | metaspikes: I installed alsamixer but it won't open. | 11:13 |
| remoteCTRL | ServerSage: erm sorry i guess i meant iceroot :D | 11:13 |
| fishyfantasy | iceroot: I installed alsamixer but it won't open when I click it =( | 11:14 |
| remoteCTRL | i am stressed, damned! :D | 11:14 |
| metaspikes | laugh it off :) | 11:14 |
| remoteCTRL | metaspikes: do those apps require customization? | 11:14 |
| metaspikes | fishyfantasy: open a terminal and run it there | 11:14 |
| vouth | almoxarife: To do that, I would have to be able to get the OS in question online. Unfortunately, the current issue *is* getting it online. Therefore, I can't find a way to chat until I know a way to connect to the Internet, which is why I am chatting now. | 11:15 |
| metaspikes | remoteCTRL: balliste will ask you dozens of questions if you let it, it's pretty damn paranoid but i like that | 11:15 |
| almoxarife | vouth: you said it was different disks on same machine | 11:15 |
| dyd_ | how can i "burn" a bootable iso on an usb drive? | 11:16 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, e and w options to ps show some more info that might be useful | 11:16 |
| almoxarife | dyd_: on a ubuntu machine right now? | 11:16 |
| remoteCTRL | metaspikes: suitable for servers then... how about checksecurity? | 11:16 |
| dyd_ | almoxarife, yes | 11:16 |
| vouth | almoxarife: I should probably be going soon. It's 6 in the morning for me and time to go to bed. :-P Yes, it is. There are two operating systems. One is on one disk, one is on another. One can connect to the Internet and be used for chat, the other I don't know how to make connect (that is the one being diagnosed). | 11:16 |
| remoteCTRL | _NiC: with or without the minus? | 11:17 |
| metaspikes | remoteCTRL: it's suitable for hardening security, however if you stick with your current system, it may not suffice, checksecurity i dunno | 11:17 |
| dyd_ | almoxarife, i tried unetbootin but i don't know why it won't copy the iso files in the usb, it just make the few boot files | 11:17 |
| Caifas | Hello guys, | 11:17 |
| Caifas | I'm trying to remaster ubuntu with uck but I'm having this problem "Cannot mount /home/alexandre/tmp/remaster-iso/casper/filesystem.squashfs in /home/alexandre/tmp/remaster-root-mount, error=32" and before that i have this warning "mount: warning: /home/alexandre/tmp/remaster-iso-mount seems to be mounted read-only." but i have no ro mounted partition, anyone can give me a hand? | 11:17 |
| almoxarife | dyd_: look for 'start-disk-creator' I may not have the works in order | 11:17 |
| almoxarife | dyd_: words | 11:17 |
| remoteCTRL | metaspikes: iceroot: ok guys, the mint computer was an experiment, as noone here really seems to like unity, neither gnome 3, i think i will declare the experiment done... | 11:18 |
| almoxarife | vouth: the problem OS is what? | 11:18 |
| _NiC | remoteCTRL, I usually go with ps auxfwwe | 11:19 |
| metaspikes | remoteCTRL: also have a look at your actual router's security permissions, that's your first line of defence after all. | 11:19 |
| remoteCTRL | metaspikes: we have ip-cop distro running as router, atm i am completely petrified about it, considering that this japanese guy smoehow obviously got through it | 11:20 |
| remoteCTRL | still not knowing whether my mint actually is a trojan horse -.- | 11:20 |
| almoxarife | remoteCTRL: yes, it is | 11:20 |
| metaspikes | nuke it | 11:20 |
| remoteCTRL | hell yeah i will | 11:21 |
| dyd_ | almoxarife, i found it, but when i select the iso it won't load it (it's an mac os x iso) | 11:21 |
| theadmin | dyd_: Um, we don't support OS X here | 11:21 |
| remoteCTRL | metaspikes: i will consider your advise and try to start lauching now | 11:21 |
| tristan1 | remoteCTRL: heard of dd-wrt? | 11:21 |
| vouth | almoxarife: Maverick 10.10, hostname 'blossom'. The functional OS is also Maverick 10.10, but it has the hostname 'autumnfairy-P4X400-8235'. I think of them by their hostnames because it's much easier than saying 'the Ubuntu Maverick that has x' or 'the Ubuntu Maverick that has y and z' or some such solution. | 11:21 |
| almoxarife | dyd_: nevermind, this is ubuntu | 11:21 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: it has nothing to do with disliking gnome3/unity | 11:21 |
| remoteCTRL | tristan1: sure have, and have openwrt running on my private linksys wrt54, but thanks for the hint! :) | 11:22 |
| fishyfantasy | Is BUM = Boot-Up Manager? | 11:22 |
| metaspikes | yes | 11:22 |
| almoxarife | FishFace: you may not be ready for BUM | 11:22 |
| fishyfantasy | metaspikes: Thanks. | 11:22 |
| metaspikes | also, yes :) | 11:22 |
| tristan1 | remoteCRTL: then couldnt you block his attempt using the wrt firewall.. | 11:22 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: but what does a gui has to do with a server? | 11:22 |
| dyd_ | well, i'm not looking for support for mac, i just wanted to know if there's a way to burn an iso on an usb | 11:23 |
| dyd_ | with ubuntu | 11:23 |
| metaspikes | dont disable anything u dont know what it is heh | 11:23 |
| iceroot | dyd_: dd | 11:23 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: well my customers were moaning and groaning about it, so i had to install xfce on a few and as said i wanted to see how mint behaves in the real world... | 11:23 |
| theadmin | dyd_: dd if=yourfile.iso of=yourusbstick, but... It won't boot :/ OS X doesn't work that way | 11:23 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: lxde is always a good choice :) | 11:23 |
| fishyfantasy | metaspikes: BUM looks complicated heh | 11:23 |
| dyd_ | thank you anyway, i'll google | 11:24 |
| almoxarife | fishyfantasy: I was not clear, you definitely are not ready for BUM, don't touch it | 11:24 |
| fishyfantasy | almoxarife: Sure thing | 11:24 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: that is lightweight waht? | 11:24 |
| tristan1 | dyd_: of course there is.. but mac and ubuntu have TONS of issues.. because apple doesnt want there software and hardware to be open.. its hard to find drivers and alot of hardware is basically unuasable.. | 11:24 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: lightweight x11 desktop environment | 11:25 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: there is an ubuntu-reviat called lubuntu | 11:25 |
| almoxarife | dyd_: I assume you need to be using something that already has the base OS to create a same OS like disk | 11:25 |
| tristan1 | with ubuntu you cant even hook up an apple cd burner and burn a ced... its a complicated task to get it going at least... | 11:25 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: isnt that one veeery basic? like sawfish or so? | 11:25 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: no need for more then the basics i would say | 11:25 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: but it is more then just the basic | 11:26 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: gosh you dont know my customers... | 11:26 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: show them unity, gnome3 and kde4 | 11:26 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: thanks for the hint i will pursue this later on... | 11:26 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: and then say "hey i have something which is just workiing without fancy stuff" | 11:26 |
| fishyfantasy | almoxarife: Hi, do you have any idea on how to solve my overheating issue on my MacBook 2,1? Using Ubuntu 11.10 | 11:26 |
| almoxarife | fishyfantasy: I was not clear, you definitely are not ready for BUM, don't touch it <-- I am not trying to be facetious, make changes with BUM and you may never have a working system from then on | 11:26 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: that is exactly what i was planning on doing, and then convince them all to use xfce :D | 11:27 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: yes or xfce which is similar to gnome2 | 11:27 |
| remoteCTRL | it is | 11:27 |
| theadmin | remoteCTRL: Yep, XFCE's the way to go... KDE too, looks like Windows after all :D | 11:27 |
| dyd_ | almoxarife, tristan1, i have done everything in virtual box (took days), but it's really too slow, so i want to try an installation in a partition, i have all i need, but my laptop dvd drive seems to have some problems with dvd | 11:27 |
| fishyfantasy | almoxarife: I understand. | 11:27 |
| remoteCTRL | unity and gnome3 are such a mess... unfreakingbelievable... | 11:27 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: they are not | 11:27 |
| almoxarife | fishyfantasy: yes, buy a new fancier apple thing, help apple, you do want to help apple don't you? ok, how about this, don't they have a walkin help center thing? | 11:27 |
| metaspikes | fishyfantasy: almoxarife has a point, if you dont want to learn the fundimentals of linux (alot of people arent interested eh). powertop and ccsm are still good options to help with ur issue. | 11:28 |
| iceroot | remoteCTRL: just a matter of needs and likes | 11:28 |
| remoteCTRL | theadmin: hi there gal! | 11:28 |
| theadmin | remoteCTRL: Hey. | 11:28 |
| iceroot | theadmin: but kde looks like the bad windows (vista, 7) lxde looks like the good windows (98,xp) | 11:28 |
| almoxarife | fishyfantasy: ccsm only effects the user account, BUM is the system, the whole enchillada | 11:29 |
| theadmin | iceroot: I wouldn't say 7 is bad honestly, but yeah, that's true | 11:29 |
| metaspikes | dyd_: qmeu-kvm has great virtualization speed if your cpu supports it... | 11:29 |
| fishyfantasy | almoxarife: Buying a $3999 laptop just for Ubuntu? Uh....thanks | 11:29 |
| tim_ | I compiled irssi (0.8.15) from source. synaptics has only 0.8.14. How can i tell synaptic that i installed 0.8.15? | 11:29 |
| tristan1 | dyd_: have you used unetbootin | 11:29 |
| xpsss | Ubuntu 11.10 Ubuntu attributes changes my external hard disks or partitions can not read and if I try to change attributes says you can not read-only | 11:29 |
| dyd_ | iceroot: i've just installed lxde, clear and fast | 11:29 |
| remoteCTRL | iceroot: yes they are! some actions have become so really cumbersome! ever treid to copy paste something from one window to another? most of our customers always have alot of windows open, and if you need to swap windows fequently they are absolutely useless... | 11:29 |
| iceroot | theadmin: only when you use a deb-file | 11:29 |
| tristan1 | dyd_: easiest way i know of.. | 11:29 |
| almoxarife | fishyfantasy: you rock | 11:29 |
| theadmin | iceroot: wut? | 11:29 |
| iceroot | theadmin: wrong nick | 11:29 |
| iceroot | tim_: only when you use a deb-file | 11:30 |
| dyd_ | tristan1, i tried, but it didn't work. i just found a guide about exactly what i need *finger crossed* | 11:30 |
| almoxarife | fishyfantasy: I am guessing the fancy walkin center with the coffee bar does not support ubuntu os apple things? | 11:30 |
| dyd_ | metaspikes, i'll check that out | 11:30 |
| tim_ | is there no way of telling synaptic "hey i already installed a new version. Tell me when there is a newer than that i have installed."? :/ | 11:30 |
| theadmin | tim_: "checkinstall" instead of "make install". | 11:31 |
| theadmin | !checkinstall | tim_, read this | 11:31 |
| ubottu | tim_, read this: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 11:31 |
| tristan1 | dyd_: good luck... | 11:31 |
| tim_ | ok thank you a lot! | 11:31 |
| almoxarife | fishyfantasy: you are a trend setter, bravo, most people here probably (me included) have an idea how to make an apple do stuff, you can be the expert guy | 11:32 |
| hareldvd | Looking for a list of text based (terminal) editors other than the obvious. Thanks. | 11:32 |
| metaspikes | tim_: pif possible i would use... dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot . or at least - fakeroot checkinstal make install - to build the package after make, it's safter than sudo'ing it incase the build goes haywire. | 11:32 |
| tim_ | ok | 11:33 |
| tim_ | ill try that | 11:33 |
| almoxarife | theadmin: how does checkinstall keep installed packages current? | 11:34 |
| metaspikes | it doesn't v_v | 11:34 |
| theadmin | almoxarife: It doesn't. Unless a newer versions randomly appears in the repo | 11:34 |
| metaspikes | just dumps the installs under /usr/local | 11:34 |
| almoxarife | theadmin: then checkinstall does what? | 11:35 |
| theadmin | almoxarife: Builds a deb package | 11:35 |
| almoxarife | theadmin: ic, I assume tim was not compiling | 11:35 |
| almoxarife | I am trying to use the logs from here to create a point and click answer for every obvious question and answer there is ( why?? cause its there), who's with me? | 11:38 |

| AziaBurgi | ntfs? | 11:43 |
| dyd_ | can't understand why it's not recognized by mac | 11:44 |
| almoxarife | metaspikes: I tried using git locally, I gave up. something about it is evil | 11:44 |
| AziaBurgi | what about FAT32 i know its old school but i seem to remember a mac friend of mine saying he has to use that | 11:46 |
| almoxarife | AziaBurgi: disk full? | 11:46 |
| tristan1 | w | 11:46 |
| AziaBurgi | almoxarife: no plenty of space here | 11:47 |
| metaspikes | almoxarife: svn? has to be something, somewhere. start the project on sourceforge maybe, give it a name etc. | 11:47 |
| cece | I got lilyterm run with transparent background as fullscreen ,that's awesome ! Amazing experience | 11:47 |
| Sidewinder1 | AziaBurgi, Max file size for FAT32 is 4 Gb. | 11:48 |
| AziaBurgi | ah | 11:48 |
| AziaBurgi | well no idea then | 11:48 |
| AziaBurgi | maybe split the file? | 11:48 |
| metaspikes | dyd_: im pretty sure HFS is supported by both | 11:49 |
| almoxarife | dyd_: ntfs? | 11:49 |
| dyd_ | almoxarife, i'm installing a sw called NTFS-3G to make ntfs work on mac | 11:50 |
| dyd_ | metaspikes, can i format a pen drive in ubuntu with HFS filesystem? | 11:50 |
| metaspikes | yes you can | 11:51 |
| metaspikes | see hfsutils and hfsprogs | 11:52 |
| metaspikes | and gparted will do the rest | 11:52 |
| dyd_ | thank you | 11:52 |
| dyd_ | AziaBurgi, FAT32 won't work with files larger than 4 gbs | 11:53 |
| metaspikes | i think mac might also support xfs, which has its perks.. not sure though eh | 11:54 |
| jiltdil | webcam is not capturing audio sound?Please help to fix it. I am using logitech c270h model | 11:54 |
| almoxarife | dyd_: http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/ <-- look | 11:54 |
| farout542 | Using remote desktop, is there a way to make my machine reachable from over the internet? Currently it shows that it will only be available via local network. | 11:55 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: the web cam is part of your machine? | 11:55 |
| jiltdil | almoxarife, i have connected it to my cpu | 11:55 |
| dyd_ | almoxarife, thanks | 11:56 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: connected usb? the webcam has builtin mic? | 11:56 |
| jiltdil | almoxarife, yes | 11:56 |
| metaspikes | farout542: you can, but you will have to open a port on the router and direct that to your machine then use your routers internet ip address to connect to that machine externally. go that? :D | 11:56 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: and how did you record what ever it is that didn't work? | 11:57 |
| farout542 | metaspikes: will give that a try thanks!! | 11:57 |
| jiltdil | almoxarife, i use mplayer and use dekstop recorder for recording mplaye command is mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=1600 :height=900 device=/dev/video0 | 11:58 |
| eutheria | why can't i change the remote desktop resolution in vinagre 3.2.1? | 11:58 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: perhaps it was not recording, what tells you the mic is not working | 11:58 |
| jiltdil | almoxarife, it is saying no audio | 11:58 |
| metaspikes | jiltdil: use mencoder instead. | 11:59 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: don't see sound accounted for on that line? should it be there? | 11:59 |
| jiltdil | metaspikes, please tell how to i have no idea about mencoder? | 11:59 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: don't see sound accounted for on that line? should it be there? | 12:00 |
| jiltdil | almoxarife, yes may be sound mopt accounted . Please help me | 12:01 |
| metaspikes | mencoder is like mplayer in reverse :) it's great | 12:01 |
| jiltdil | almoxarife, see this and the audio say no sound at line 41 | 12:02 |

| equex | i'm miffed that practically any Linux distro the last 3 years dont work on my computer. no idea what they did | 12:02 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: is the point to make it really hard to do what ever you are doing or to get it done? I don't have issues with 'vlc' but I also have a mic that works and configured so the system sees it | 12:02 |
| equex | but i think they dropped a lot of chipset support | 12:02 |
| jiltdil | almoxarife, recording with external mike is working but with the webcam mic it is not working | 12:03 |
| almoxarife | jiltdil: you meant , the external mic does not work but the internal does? yes | 12:04 |
| equex | anyway, recent kernels cant see my hard disks. | 12:04 |
| psalden | hey. I am running oneiric and radeon drivers and when I return from suspend, the desktop is all glitchy. 'unity --replace' fixes this. Is there a more elegant, or at least more automatic way of getting this done? | 12:04 |
| metaspikes | jiltdil: mencoder -tv driver=v4l2:width=1600:height=900:device=/dev/video0 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 -ffourcc XVID -vf pp=lb -o output.avi tv:// - you will have to specify a capture device with alsamixer (or such) and you might have to use :adevice=/dev/<somethin> also | 12:04 |
| equex | regular SATA disks on a SB600 south bridge. worked fine in Ubuntu 8 and 9 perhaps. but 8 was great for sure | 12:05 |
| jiltdil | metaspikes, thanks a lot :) | 12:05 |
| inenoo | mohamed | 12:05 |
| almoxarife | metaspikes: all that work, does it make coffee too? | 12:06 |
| metaspikes | i used a similar command to rip vhs tapes, but alas i must make my own coffee :( | 12:06 |
| almoxarife | metaspikes: vhs? what's that? :) | 12:07 |
| metaspikes | vcr tapes?... ferris bueller's day off? | 12:07 |
| Sidewinder1 | Video Home System, as opposed to Sony's Beta-Max; video tape formats. | 12:08 |
| JDuke128 | hi | 12:08 |
| almoxarife | hi' | 12:10 |
| metaspikes | psalden: you could fix your video issue or you could put your command somewhere under /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/ , assuming you use pm-utils im not sure | 12:11 |
| EuroNerd | how do I verify that a specific piece of software (e.g. vsftpd) is installed on my Ubuntu? | 12:11 |
| metaspikes | EuroNerd: dpkg-query -l | grep vsftpd - is one way | 12:12 |
| equex | does anyone know if there are projects that are based on Ubuntu 8.x LTS that are still alive? | 12:12 |
| Sidewinder1 | equex, 8.x is EOL, with the exception of 8.04 Server, which goes EOL in 04-2013. | 12:14 |
| almoxarife | EuroNerd: the less intrusive way would be thru software center on 11.10 | 12:16 |

| Sidewinder1 | !nickspam | PrinceofPersia | 12:16 |
| ubottu | PrinceofPersia: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead. See also « /msg ubottu Guidelines » | 12:16 |
| psalden | metaspikes: thanks. I have no idea how to fix that video issue; I always assumed it to be a faulty driver problem. As for the mechanism for suspend I'm using, it's just oneiric's default I guess. I simply click suspend in the menu at the upper right :) | 12:17 |
| PoNuts | never stop, if I'm not goingin to delete the job from print command | 12:17 |
| almoxarife | PoNuts: prints what? | 12:17 |
| PoNuts | this time a picture.. before that i tried with gedit | 12:18 |
| almoxarife | PoNuts: prints what? what does it print once the picture is done printing? | 12:18 |
| PoNuts | it a ipp://printer | 12:18 |
| PoNuts | it repeat it self... | 12:18 |
| almoxarife | PoNuts: it prints multiple pictures | 12:19 |
| PoNuts | I've tried to expecit marked that i only one one copy.. doesnt matter | 12:19 |
| PoNuts | almoxarife: correct | 12:19 |

| ylmfos | Hallo zusammen ! | 12:31 |
| ylmfos | hello !! | 12:32 |
| vatzec | metaspikes: Funny enough, when I'm in another room, near the main router, I guess, it does work, as if when connecting through the main router, it doesn't need that specific routing. | 12:32 |
| vatzec | (It's a wifi network.) | 12:32 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: No | 12:33 |

| Sidewinder1 | np | 12:34 |
| metaspikes | vatzec: you could probably add the router you want to hosts, it -might- im unfamiliar sadly | 12:34 |
| PoNuts | Seems that i did chose back to postscript, and let my fingers not touch any tweaking... the paper got out ok. | 12:35 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: true, so you got dns for ping but not the browser? | 12:36 |
| PoNuts | Thx.. almoxarife: | 12:36 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: Did you read that link I have sent to the channel? Yep, I can't browse or telnet, but I can ping. | 12:36 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: Though I get an extra message as a result with every ping. | 12:36 |

| d3ngar | It's frustrating | 12:39 |
| d3ngar | Who can keep hammering backspace to delete text? | 12:39 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: when did you first notice the issue? | 12:40 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: At the beginning of the school year | 12:40 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: But I should note that I have also freshly installed Ubuntu on this laptop then. | 12:40 |

| metaspikes | d3ngar: something is interuppting it? | 12:42 |
| d3ngar | metaspikes: not that I could tell? | 12:42 |
| d3ngar | I'ts not just this keyboard, it's another one too | 12:43 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: it could be in another country, but within your domain | 12:43 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: Maybe | 12:43 |
| PoNuts | d3ngar: does it delete one character nothing happens? | 12:43 |
| metaspikes | is there a gnome thingy that configures keyboard on your system? | 12:43 |

| d3ngar | PoNuts: it's annoying | 12:45 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: And it has a connection | 12:46 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: so what is the answer, do you firewall port 80 connections ? | 12:46 |
| PoNuts | d3ngar: belive so.. i had the same, then in a strange way i unactiated a mouse funktion in my vmware... I use ubuntu as the main OS | 12:46 |
| PoNuts | and it start to work. | 12:46 |
| d3ngar | PoNuts: I also use Ubuntu as the main OS | 12:47 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: it would be interesting to see if TOR worked in your case :) | 12:47 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: I'm not the admin of the network, but of a single server for students' | 12:47 |
| d3ngar | I have a VM running, but this problem is occuring on all machines that I have 10.11 on | 12:47 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: I'll try | 12:47 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: you must have info on what is and what is not firewalled, my god man, you are an admin! | 12:48 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: Haha. :D But the server might be in a completely different place. | 12:48 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: It's a server for a student organization. | 12:49 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: I am not condoning the use of TOR, I meant it in a strictly educational way | 12:49 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: TOR works, but takes a while at step "10%" | 12:49 |

I've got `pkg-config --libs gtkmm-3.0` in my Makefile.am and it works at the terminal to do it manually. Can anyone suggest what might be the issue? I symlinked /bin/sh to /bin/bash as I thought dash wasn't expaning the backticks but still no luck. | 12:49 |

| Negat1ve-Zer0 | kind of curious, anyone familiar with buffer overflows and ubuntu 11.10? I was testing a program I wrote to test buffer overflows and what happens exactly, depending on the size of the overflow it appears I get different resulting messages so I was wondering if anyone's familiar with that | 12:52 |
| murrayc | boru: What's the actual error that you see? | 12:52 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | and also, anyone know why if I write over a char[10] buffer by say 4 or 5 bytes...it still doesn't run into my next memory array | 12:54 |
| boru | murrayc, it's a whole host of linker errors for gtkmm types. This works everywhere else, I'm just wondering why it doesn't on ubuntu. I replaces the /bin/sh symlink with one to bash but it's still not expanding the pkg-config command seemingly. I've installed the relevant packages. | 12:54 |
| iceroot | Negat1ve-Zer0: maybe ##c or ##c++ is better for that | 12:54 |
| Negat1ve-Zer0 | ok, I'll try there I went to #c++ but got a cannot send to channel | 12:55 |

| boru | murrayc, it's a whole host of linker errors for gtkmm types. This works everywhere else, I'm just wondering why it doesn't on ubuntu.

| no_gravity | Hello! Is sound-juicer still the default way to rip CDs? | 13:00 |
| no_gravity | Im on Ubuntu 10 I think and I would like to convert a CD to mp3s. There seems to be no default app for that. | 13:00 |
| boru | Did you get my last message, murrayc? | 13:01 |
| murrayc | no | 13:02 |
| metaspikes | boru: i normally take a look at the Makefile and change/add flags there | 13:02 |
| Sidewinder1 | no_gravity, Look in your repos., for Sound Converter. | 13:02 |
| boru | I'm not trying to enforce a minimum version, I'm passing flags to gcc. | 13:02 |
| murrayc | boru: There is no need to enforce a minimum version when using PKG_CHECK_MODULES(). But you should enforce a minimum version. | 13:02 |
| no_gravity | Sidewinder1: if there is nothing already installed, i could just do "apt-get sound-juicer". if there is already something installed, i would use it. | 13:02 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: Do you have any ideas how to determine what's wrong? | 13:03 |
| boru | I'm not at the point of freezing binaries just yet. | 13:03 |
| boru | But my problem remains, is there any reason why the pkg-config command wouldn't expand properly? | 13:03 |
| murrayc | boru: You should be using PKG_CHECK_MODULES(). And I have not seen the error and I have not seen any of your files. | 13:04 |
| boru | Like I said, I redirected that /bin/sh symlink to bash. | 13:04 |
| Sidewinder1 | no_gravity, I'm on 10.04 and I use Sound Converter; not sure if it was installed by default or I downloaded and installed, in Synaptic. | 13:04 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: what would 'right' be, specifically | 13:04 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: Why I can't connect to servers outside my network | 13:04 |
| no_gravity | Sidewinder1: "sound converter" - it would be rather unusual for a command to have a whitespace in the name. whats the name of it? | 13:05 |

| Sidewinder1 | no_gravity, It's SoundConverter 1.4.4, it's a gnome program. | 13:06 |
| prizm | does the qemu-kvm package work on amd64 hardware without VT? | 13:06 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||
| no_gravity | Sidewinder1: ok, i dont have it. i installed soundjuicer now. | 13:07 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: you just said it, you don't have internet connectivity and you are at a school, someone does not care to provide you with connectivity? why not use the same ssh to internet connect to what ever it is you are wanting to get at? | 13:08 |
| boru | I'm pretty ok with gtkmm murrayc. I was just a bit puzzled as to why this wasn't building here. I normally leave more up to automake, but I'll see if autoconf will do what I need. I appreciate the suggestion though. | 13:09 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: Because it's a nasty hack, requiring the use of another machine, while this shouldn't be necessary. | 13:09 |

| EuroNerd | Is installing ubuntu-desktop on top of Ubuntu Server a bad idea? | 13:09 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: you just said you ssh into someone else at the school, being nasty already | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | i set up a znc (irc bouncer) :) its handy and not a hack. but it depends on your needs/ | 13:09 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: Yes. And I'd like to avoid this. | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | EuroNerd: you just basically install the ubuntu-desktop package to turn it into a desktop type install. Normally its best to do a desktop install first. then install the services you need. | 13:10 |
| theadmin | EuroNerd: It's fine | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | EuroNerd: but it shoudl work either way. | 13:10 |
| vatzec | dr_willis: I have a different problem, but thanks. :) | 13:10 |
| EuroNerd | ok, thanks | 13:10 |
| flatline | hi, is Ubuntu Liquid project still active? if so, is there an IRC channel for it? | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | flatline: never heard of it :) | 13:11 |
| flatline | dr_willis: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/UbuntuLiquid here | 13:11 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: someone does not want you on the internet, you are not going to get to it without some creativity( I am not condoning any act which is a crime in poland either), so, what to do? got ze/nmap? :) | 13:11 |
| EuroNerd | dr_willis, from what I've read somewhere, there are actually some fundamental differences between Server and Desktop (like context switch frequency), so I preferred to get a proper Server first and now am considering to make my life easier by adding GUI. | 13:11 |
| metaspikes | EuroNerd: i digress :) in case of limited resources,, it would make sense to load the desktop elements to the server selectively. | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | EuroNerd: that would most likely be depending on the kernel you are using. | 13:12 |
| EuroNerd | metaspikes, I wouldn't know how to do that, I'm a total newbie :) | 13:12 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: No. :) But I am authorized to have access to Internet here. It's just that for some, probably software-ish reason, I can't access it. | 13:12 |
| flatline | EuroNerd: gui is always a bad choice in a server environment in the long run | 13:12 |
| theadmin | flatline: It's not even released yet. It's not dead, but I don't think a channel will exist for a non-existing project. When some initial release is made, we'll have one | 13:12 |
| EuroNerd | flatline, why? | 13:12 |
| dr_willis | EuroNerd: why did you do a server install if you are a total newbie? | 13:12 |
| flatline | EuroNerd: once you set it up you will always regret having to use GUI to do stuff on it | 13:12 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: those admins, you just can't trust them, always making it hard on the little people | 13:12 |
| flatline | just have your time and do it on cli | 13:13 |
| flatline | totally worth it. | 13:13 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: tor didn't work? | 13:13 |
| EuroNerd | dr_willis, because I want to play with node.js | 13:13 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: It did connect to the directory server, get the list of nodes and say it's ready. | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | No idea what node.js is.. or why it would not work on a desktop install. | 13:13 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: there you go, you are set | 13:14 |
| vatzec | almoxarife: But still, I should have normal access to the Internet here, without such hacks, as my friends do. Do you have any ideas what I could do in my situation? | 13:14 |
| almoxarife | vatzec: move in with your friends? | 13:14 |
| vatzec | But this is indeed a step forward. :) | 13:14 |
| flatline | theadmin: I'm interested in the project, also would like to contribute since I will be using it on a work project if that goes well. :( | 13:14 |
| vatzec | It's a wifi in the uni building. | 13:14 |
| EuroNerd | dr_willis, node.js is a language for running websites, like PHP. (To be specific, it's server-side javascript. :) | 13:14 |
| theadmin | Speaking of the server edition.... I see Ubuntu as a highly desktop-oriented distro. As such, the server edition might suffer from having insufficent support. Is that so? | 13:15 |
| flatline | also, has the patch for hashDoS started rolling? | 13:15 |
| dr_willis | EuroNerd: i dont see any real reason why that wouldent work on a desktop install. but if you want to install teh full ubuntu desktop on a 'server' it should work | 13:15 |
| EuroNerd | dr_willis, I'm pretty sure it would run on Desktop too - anything could probably run on desktop, I just want to do it the "right" way. ;) | 13:15 |
| Eimann | morning. does ubuntu 11.10 alternate installer do automatic alignment to 4K boundaries? | 13:16 |
| raven | rescuing data from fat32 partitions - which tool is able to? | 13:16 |
| flatline | theadmin: nope, indeed I've been using fedora for our server instances for a long time and started using ubuntu-server for the last 3-6 months. ubuntu-server support is pretty much superior to any other distro server edition. | 13:16 |
| theadmin | EuroNerd: The "right" way is to install server tools on desktop, not vice versa | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | raven: done it befor with 'ddrescue' and a lot of time/patience. | 13:16 |
| theadmin | raven: photorec (part of the "testdisk" package) | 13:16 |
| EuroNerd | theadmin, I didn't know that. | 13:16 |
| raven | theadmin, ok tnx | 13:16 |
| raven | dr_willis, yes i did already | 13:16 |
| EuroNerd | theadmin, dr_willis, either way, I'm actually running two VMs in parallel, one with Desktop, the other one with Server, just to increase my chances I get node.js to work eventually. :] | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | i recovered 2+TB of data from a external usb once. :) then the silly usb started working right... the workout must of scared it.. :) | 13:17 |

| boru | murrayc, I'm beginning to suspect there is something further amiss here. Even using that autoconf macro instead, the linker doesn't seem to be able to find the gtkmm types. I've installed the *-dev package for gtkmm3 so I'm at a loss to explain this one. What do you think? | 13:20 |

| Motafoca | metaspikes: whavent tried, but whats the idea? | 13:25 |
| prizm | does the qemu-kvm package work on amd64 hardware without VT? i'd like to know, my processor doesn't have it | 13:25 |
| valadares | Resistance: yes,is it | 13:25 |
| prizm | i know in Debian the KVM and software emulators are split, not in ubuntu | 13:26 |

| Motafoca | i believe its because of the theme inside the initram | 13:33 |
| Resistance | Motafoca: you want to disable the ubuntu load screen that's purple? | 13:33 |

| asdman | iceroot thats going to be very painful, idk if therescompilation tools on it but i guess i can try, also its using 11.04 and im not going to try upgrading to the latest because itll probably preak stuff like crazy | 13:59 |
| iceroot | asdman: at least "dpkg-buildüackage" should be installed by default | 14:00 |
| EuroNerd | subterfuge_, personally I doubt a VM guest can access the host GPU for GPGPU purposes. There's only basic 3d support, and experimental at that. | 14:00 |
| subterfuge_ | EuroNerd my knowledge base on GPGPU is low but I have been trying to do my homework. My goal is fast smother VM performance | 14:00 |
| MonkeyDust | EuroNerd is this link useful? http://www.wikihow.com/Setup-vsftpd-FTP-on-Ubuntu-Linux | 14:00 |
| iceroot | asdman: but i guess there is a better solution then building everything from the source-packages | 14:00 |
| asdman | iceroot its actually xubuntu btw | 14:00 |
| asdman | hmm...im going to check if theres anything on packages.debina.org | 14:00 |
| iceroot | asdman: that should not make a difference in that case | 14:01 |
| asdman | *debian | 14:01 |
| asdman | iceroot:packages.debian.org has apache2 will it break stuff since its for a different distro? | 14:02 |
| EuroNerd | MonkeyDust, I think I've got vsftpd working already, now I just don't know how to connect to it from host with, say, FileZilla. | 14:02 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||
| MonkeyDust | EuroNerd im not familiar with filezilla, maybe someone else is | 14:03 |
| EuroNerd | subterfuge_, I don't think VBox uses any GPGPU. That graphic card would only be useful for apps running on the host. As for the guest VMs, you'll merely get some basic 3d stuff going, like Aero in Win7 and whatnot. | 14:03 |
| cconover | I accidentally deleted the php.ini file for PHP-FPM. I tried removing and reinstalling the package to restore the default file, but no luck. I removed the /etc/php5/fpm directory for the same reason, but no luck. Any tips? | 14:03 |
| subterfuge_ | EuroNerd, Thanks for the info, so there 'to the best of your knowledge' isn't a way for normal everyday processes to be directed to the GPU. i.e. nothing in Ubuntu that would pass overflow to a GPU regardless of where it cam from or a way to white list programs to use the GPU | 14:04 |
| EuroNerd | MonkeyDust, I think FileZilla is pretty straightforward, you just type in the IP, user and pwd for the FTP. I'm just not sure the networking works right. | 14:05 |

| PoNuts | Is there any way to run a privat cloud.. not ubuntu one.. there I own the files? | 14:07 |
| EuroNerd | subterfuge_, regardless of Ubuntu, even in Windows you need apps programmed specifically to use GPU for general computations (GPGPGU). Neither OS is capable of "redirecting" arbitrary processes to GPU, just because it feels like it. | 14:07 |
| MonkeyDust | PoNuts if you have a remote PC, yes | 14:07 |

| EuroNerd | almoxarife, right now I'm the only user. I'm just setting up a web server in a local VM to play with web programming.

| mneptok | hektik-: also, you're not taking swap space (if necessary) into account. that will require some HD space also. | 15:22 |

| ubottu | pank, please see my private message | 15:22 |
| sskalnik | pank: mount /dev/sda<whateverthedriveis> /<whereveryouwanttomountit> | 15:22 |
| BussDriver | are you kidding? I'd love if windows 7 would only take 20gb. Usually after getting all the updates and service pack 1 you're looking at 40gb. | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | pank: it may already be mounted, if you run: mount do you see the device | 15:22 |
| ubuntu | hektik-: also remember that ubuntu gives you lots of default packages by default to play with, you can remove them or go with a minimum install if you don't want to choose what programs you install yourself | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | BussDriver: damn | 15:22 |
| BussDriver | All because of that huge winsxs folder. | 15:22 |
| MonkeyDust | hektik- i think you want to read this http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ | 15:23 |

| hektik- | linux is not better | 15:23 |
| hektik- | but okay | 15:23 |
| mneptok | ubuntu: some packages may not be able to be removed as the -desktop package depends on them. | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | hektik-: it is in some situations | 15:23 |
| BussDriver | It's nearly impossible to fit a decent windows 7 install on the original raptor 36gb - I should know, that's still one of my main desktops :\ | 15:23 |

| m_W | hi, any suggestions for best twitter widget on ubuntu? | 15:23 |
| mneptok | the discussion of "which OS is better" is suited to #ubuntu-oftopic, not this channel. | 15:23 |
| io | pank, see the link given to you in private message from ubottu. or sskalnik also suggested --> mount /dev/sda<whateverthedriveis> /<whereveryouwanttomountit> | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | m_W: there is no single best app for a situation | 15:24 |
| emilio89 | i like windows 7 and debian | 15:24 |
| m_W | ActionParsnip, just one that people have found the really like? | 15:24 |
| pank | sskalnik, how to know "whateverthedriveis" ? | 15:24 |
| BussDriver | what's the point of arguing whether one OS is better than another in some ill-defined 'all encompassing' way? Ubuntu is great for my work.. but kinda sucks for playing the latest and greatest games on steam. However, windows kinda sucks for, oh I don't know, actually having a decent built-in terminal? | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | m_W: doesn't make it best though, does it | 15:24 |
| hektik- | u guys play any games on linux? | 15:24 |

| ActionParsnip | GeForce88: I've ran my 6150LE on the 295 driver and it ran | 15:26 |
| marcin_ | good | 15:26 |

| Sidewinder1 | batlock, Interesting.. | 15:46 |
| batlock | Sidewinder1, all you have to do basically is set root=(usb1,msdos1) or soemthing like taht | 15:46 |
| batlock | once you've detected usb | 15:46 |
| batlock | lemmie find the name of it. | 15:47 |

| supuers | mneptok whats your issue | 16:21 |
| mneptok | Sidewinder1: maybe run an fsck on those partitions? i tend toward paranoia as regards filesystem integrity. | 16:22 |

| mneptok | Sharpshooter: did you read the URL i gave you? | 16:40 |
| mneptok | Sharpshooter: i don't know how your question cvould be answered more plainly than it is on that page. it tells you how to install and enable Winamp skins in Audacious. | 16:41 |

| Sharpshooter | mneptok, I did ! when I copy the winamp skins on the themes folder it shows the skin with blank in selection ! I guess it is not supporting the winamp player skin that i used in windows | 16:43 |
| Oer | FrietSok, what steps of google ? and a .msi is a windows installer, not for ubuntu. | 16:44 |
| mneptok | Sharpshooter: try other skins. figure out if it's an issue with a particular skin, or if it's an issue with Audacious and *all* Winamp skins | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | KARAG: sudo apt-get install alsa-utils | 16:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | FrietSok, You may wish to have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazaa Why not just use the default torrent client in ubuntu? I believe it's currently Transmission. | 16:45 |
| edbian | Sidewinder1, kazaa is not a bittorrent client | 16:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | edbian, Didn't it used to be? | 16:46 |
| edbian | Sidewinder1, I don't think so. Although it is peer to peer | 16:46 |
| Sidewinder1 | edbian, I just scanned the wiki.. :-( | 16:46 |
| edbian | Sidewinder1, meh | 16:46 |
| Sharpshooter | mneptok, I figured that winamp skins are in different formats ! ant Audacious is not supporting any of these themes ! | 16:46 |
| craigbass1976 | I need to install openbravo-3 on a remote box. I'm going to be sitting in front of said box in a couple of hours, but I wanted the download at least to be done before I got there. Is there some way to fire up a terminal that will be open when I get there? I can't do it from here, as I'll be on my laptop and that's going with me. | 16:47 |
| Oer | Sidewinder1, kazaa has a search for music/movie-downloads build-in, not sure the downloads are legal. | 16:47 |
| MonkeyDust | craigbass1976 you can modify .profile to make a terminal open, when you connect to the remote pc | 16:48 |
| KARAG | Dude The output is a big nothig | 16:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | edbian, But, just in scanning that wiki, seems like a good thing to stay away from; IMHO. | 16:48 |
| Sharpshooter | mneptok, winamp skin is xml type and audacious in txt types | 16:48 |
| edbian | Sidewinder1, It is 99% illegal files from what I remember. | 16:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | Oer, Thanx. | 16:48 |
| KARAG | Package alsa ultis Has no (something else dont know how to translate it) for installation | 16:48 |
| edbian | Sidewinder1, kazaa that is (and it's loaded with windows viruses) | 16:48 |
| craigbass1976 | MonkeyDust, I was also just wondering... Is there a way to log into the GUI? VNC perhaps... | 16:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | edbian, I was referring to the spyware, malware,... Not that that effects "us.".. ;-) | 16:49 |
| Sharpshooter | mneptok, can I make custom theme for audacious ? | 16:49 |
| KARAG | The package alsa-utils is not available, but no mention about it from another package.Package alsa ultis Has no candidate for installation | 16:49 |
| ActionParsnip | KARAG: should be, its in the repos and should be in a default install | 16:50 |
| KARAG | What can i do for that? any solution? | 16:50 |
| vegabond | hi frnds!!! how r u all? | 16:50 |
| mneptok | Sharpshooter: i do not use Audacious. i have no idea. i went to Google and entered "audacious winamp skin" and found that page i gave you. the web will be more helpful to you than an IRC channel dedicated to a specific Linux distro. | 16:51 |
| vegabond | i need some help | 16:51 |

| vegabond | how can use skype in ubuntu 10.10? | 16:51 |

| Sharpshooter | mneptok, is there any official IRC channel for audacious ? | 16:52 |
| ActionParsnip | vegabond: go to the skype site and grab the deb for your architecture | 16:52 |
| MonkeyDust | craigbass1976 cant say about the GUI, but add this to ~/.profile in your remote pc http://paste.ubuntu.com/791852/ | 16:52 |

| hsyed | Anyone able to help me with a fakeraid (motherboard based nvidia in raid 5) based installation. The xubuntu 11 installer doesn't seem to be installing grub correctly. I have told the installer to install the mbr on "/dev/mapper/nvidiaxxxx" (the device and not a partition). When I reboot I just get a blinking cursor (instead of insert install media and press any key to continue). What do I need | 16:59 |
| hsyed | to do ? | 16:59 |
| blognewb | hi guyys im trying to fully migrate to ubuntu. i use notepad++ for coding php, js etc.. what do you suggest i migrate to aside from vim? I am looking at Aptana, it looks like an open-source dreamweaver. What do yhou think? I'm looking for something that has a short learning curve and would not reduce productivity while learning the editor | 17:00 |
| hsyed | Don't bother with vim unless you want to commit to coding in a shell =D | 17:01 |
| mang0 | blognewb: Eclipse is supposed to be good, but I suppose that's aptana really :P | 17:01 |
| blognewb | mang0 yeah.. | 17:01 |
| mang0 | I write my code in gedit and then run it from terminal, but that's just Python | 17:01 |
| ActionParsnip | KARAG: not sure, you need the alsa-utils app, try running: alsamixer and make sure all levels are cranked and unmuted | 17:01 |
| Sharpshooter | blognewb, bluefish | 17:01 |
| ActionParsnip | blognewb: gedit has syntax highlighting | 17:02 |
| blognewb | ActionParsnip i tried gedit :D | 17:02 |
| Sharpshooter | blognewb, Try bluefish | 17:02 |
| blognewb | ActionParsnip would you characterize aptana as an ide | 17:02 |
| blognewb | Sharpshooter is it a relatively new getting popular editor | 17:03 |
| hsyed | So no one arround has done a 11 install on a fakeraid machine ? :( | 17:03 |
| ubuntu_ | h | 17:03 |
| blognewb | Hey guys is this true: "stay away from java-based IDEs. They will make development a nightmare." | 17:03 |
| HackNewton | blognewb, well no and yes both | 17:04 |
| hsyed | for a portable C++/C project yes | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | blognewb: not sure, its not in the repos.. | 17:05 |
| KARAG | Hey i am suspecting something... Can someone Tell me how I can see my available sources for apps at the software Center of ubuntu? | 17:05 |
| Sharpshooter | blognewb, Its a popular editor ! and light | 17:05 |
| KARAG | I am using oneiric 11.10 | 17:05 |
| hsyed | @blognewb for a multi-million line project in most languages yes :D You can't fight complexity with ide tools, and ide's slow down. Not using an ide forces you to be embrace rigid coding practises, which is betteri n the long run :D | 17:05 |

| Sidewinder1 | grendal-prime, Is it an external HDD? | 17:07 |
| blognewb | hsyed "java IDEs slow down development, they typically have a typing lag and whenever you try to rely on autocomplete or docblock popups, it takes forever" | 17:08 |
| grendal-prime | like say you have a root partition that is 100 gigs..and it is at 50% capacity, then the mounted drive has say 30 gigs on it all of the sudden the root drive is reporting at 80% a reboot takes it back to normal | 17:08 |
| BangBusRUs | Hi I need some help configuaring my 160gb hdd to install ubuntu on to, What size and format should I set up for ubuntu install | 17:08 |
| craigbass1976 | MonkeyDust, ok... Here's what I ended up doing. I didn't see your reply until just now. I set up x11vnc on the remote box, then ssh -XC remotebox, then vncviewer localhbost:0 and got the process going. Quitting vnc I believe will just leave things running without me seeign them from here. I'm going to make my kiddo lunch, then head over. Thanks | 17:08 |
| grendal-prime | ya Sidewinder1 its an external drive | 17:08 |
| grendal-prime | well they are vm drives but the os sees them as external hardware. | 17:08 |
| BangBusRUs | Please somebody help me I really like the new ubuntu version | 17:09 |
| Sidewinder1 | grendal-prime, I have 5 ext. HDDs, I had to sudo chown each one, in order to write to it. | 17:09 |
| hsyed | blognewb that is correct java and c# ide's suck really. the jvm or clr are not designed to index that much information. if you can't get code completion in realtime it is useless. | 17:09 |
| blognewb | so I guess I'll stick to gedit! ...? | 17:09 |
| blognewb | i wanna try that bluefish though im not sure! | 17:09 |
| BangBusRUs | What size and format should i have? | 17:09 |
| HackNewton | blognewb, go for geany ! | 17:10 |
| hsyed | yes :D but if you wan't real power go with terminal coding using vim. it will feel like torture for a while, but you will develop conventions to doing things without the mouse, and once you have that you will be flying. | 17:10 |
| KARAG | Hey ActionPartership THanx for the help the problem did not go solved but thanx anyway :) | 17:10 |
| hsyed | blognewb look into installing the NERDtree plugin for vim | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: have you removed old kernels? | 17:10 |
| BangBusRUs | I want one partition to have all my mp3s on it and i should be able to access the partition from windows if i ever need to? | 17:11 |
| blognewb | hsyed what is it for? | 17:11 |
| BangBusRUs | :( | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | KARAG: you need the alsa-utils package installing, your script says it is missing | 17:11 |
| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, probably not..is this an error that is associated with an older kernel? | 17:11 |

| grendal-prime | By the way this is something that someone else brought to my desk. | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: if you have a tonne of old kernels, theywill take up a lot of space | 17:11 |
| KARAG | Yes but when i try to install it it says that it doesnt exists | 17:11 |
| BangBusRUs | I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu and I really want to install it on my thinkpad t61 | 17:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | BangBusRUs, There is a driver, for windows that will allow it to see ext3/4, but I forget the name. | 17:12 |
| BangBusRUs | ok | 17:12 |
| BangBusRUs | what about the size? | 17:12 |
| hsyed | blognewb nerdtree is just a side bar that shows file in directories. minimal and fast to use. learn how to use tabs first tho | 17:12 |
| BangBusRUs | Right now the size is the most important thing | 17:12 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: www.fs-driver.com | 17:12 |
| blognewb | Komodo Edit GUYS opinion? | 17:12 |
| BangBusRUs | ok cool thanks i really appreciate it | 17:12 |
| mneptok | blognewb: don't. | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: not sure aout ext4 though | 17:13 |
| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, but that would be a consistent thing...this is aparently a deal were all the sudden the 30 gigs of space that is being used on hdb, all the sudden seems to be reported as consuming 30 gigs of space on root as well. | 17:13 |
| HackNewton | blognewb, no | 17:13 |
| BangBusRUs | what about the size of the partitions | 17:13 |
| hsyed | should I go to a different channel for tips on fakeraid install ? first time here | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: how do you mean? | 17:13 |
| mneptok | blognewb: Komodo Edit does not have a Debian package, and its installer dumps libraries all over your system. | 17:13 |
| hsyed | fat32 works upto 4 gigs, if it is larger use ntfs | 17:13 |
| BangBusRUs | I have a 160gb hdd and all of it is for ubuntu | 17:13 |
| BangBusRUs | i want one partition to have ubuntu and the other to have my mp3s | 17:14 |
| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, and a reboot of the box...will cause it to go back to reporting the actual size on the root partation. | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: the largest Ext4 partition you can have is 1Eb | 17:14 |
| mneptok | blognewb: are you looking for a programmer's editor you can use on mutliple OSes? is that why you're looking at Komodo? | 17:14 |
| BangBusRUs | ok | 17:14 |
| blognewb | mneptok no not really, somebody suggested it over gedit | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: have an NTFS partition for the shared storage | 17:14 |
| BangBusRUs | ok what about swap | 17:14 |
| blognewb | mneptok is gedit really that minimalist | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: that;s if you intend to dual boot | 17:14 |
| blognewb | i tried gedit once it got confusing with the editing | 17:15 |
| BangBusRUs | and other thing in linux like /home /user | 17:15 |
| BangBusRUs | ok | 17:15 |
| mneptok | blognewb: try Bluefish or jEdit. both are in the repos. jEdit is Java, and will run anywhere Java runs. | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: 1xRAM for more than 2Gb RAM, if you have like 8Gb RAM and don't need hibernate etc, then you can skip swap | 17:15 |
| BangBusRUs | so i only need two partitions one for ubuntu and the other for my mp3 | 17:15 |
| mneptok | BangBusRUs: swap? | 17:15 |
| FrietSok | I just wanne know i do i install the game mw3 i install a lot game but mw3 is a pain in the ass ,,,, look my ass pl | 17:16 |
| hsyed | @bang: pick a better nick :D 20 gigs + 2x ram size should be enough for linux | 17:16 |
| BangBusRUs | i dont understand please elaborate | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: You can have one big partition for everything, a seperate /home partition is good as it helps for reinstalls and backups | 17:16 |
| mneptok | FrietSok: drop that language. it is most unwelcome. | 17:16 |
| BangBusRUs | ok so how should i go with an 160gb hdd | 17:16 |
| Sidewinder1 | BangBusRUs, This tutorial contains a rather comprehensive 'how-to': http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index | 17:16 |
| blognewb | mneptok but i thought java is so damn slow | 17:16 |
| BangBusRUs | ok thanks | 17:16 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: are you dualbooting? | 17:17 |
| mneptok | blognewb: install jEdit. if it's painfully slow and you hate it, remove it. | 17:17 |
| BangBusRUs | no its only for ubuntu | 17:17 |
| BangBusRUs | i dont want windows no more | 17:17 |
| hsyed | bang: then you dont need ntfs | 17:17 |
| HackNewton | blognewb, which language you inteded to use ? | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: then 10Gb ext4 for /, 1xRAM for swap, the rest for /home | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: I assume you have 2Gb RAM or more | 17:17 |
| Sidewinder1 | BangBusRUs, That link contains partitioning info., as well.. | 17:17 |
| hsyed | bang: just let the installer do the disk management, don't bother with seperate partitions if this is your first install | 17:17 |
| mneptok | BangBusRUs: laptop or desktop? | 17:17 |
| BangBusRUs | but if i ever need to access my data from another computer i can get it so i want a file system format to be able to be used with windows | 17:18 |
| x3k4p | hi all | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: set the /home to ext4 too :) | 17:18 |
| MonkeyDust | BangBusRUs i too have a separate partition for my backups, you could make one to store your mp3s | 17:18 |
| BangBusRUs | laptop | 17:18 |
| BangBusRUs | with 2gb ram | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: the file system is moot for filesharing, samba deals with all that | 17:18 |
| BangBusRUs | can you please pm me here | 17:18 |
| x3k4p | i want to install voice control for ubuntu 11.10 | 17:18 |
| mneptok | BangBusRUs: 2.1*RAM = swap, if you want to suspend or hibernate | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | BangBusRUs: then 2Gb for swap | 17:18 |
| marel | Right now I am on windows and there's only one partition. Is it possible to install ubuntu without losing my windows ? | 17:18 |
| hsyed | bang: you'll be able to point another computer to the ip adress of this computer and access it like a windows shared drive (might have to fiddle a bit but i think it's not hard with ubuntu) | 17:18 |
| BangBusRUs | im having a hard time following and reading since my eye sight is weak | 17:18 |
| x3k4p | sudo apt-get install gnome-voice-control not work | 17:18 |
| mneptok | ActionParsnip: 2GB swap on a laptop with 4GB RAM is not a good bet ;) | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | mneptok: (17:18:12) BangBusRUs: with 2gb ram | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mneptok: 2Gb RAM, not 4Gb | 17:19 |
| BangBusRUs | yea 2gb ram | 17:19 |
| mneptok | ActionParsnip: then 2GB swap will allow memory contents to be dumped, as long as swap is *completely* empty when asked to page out RAM | 17:19 |
| bean | marel: check out WUBI | 17:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | marel, Please see here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index | 17:20 |
| mneptok | ActionParsnip: 2.1*RAM = swap = allows swap to be full when asked to suspend or hibernate | 17:20 |

| Nate__ | alright one sec | 17:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | fsancho, The default version of FF for 10.04 is 3.6.24; when one goes "mixing and matching" different versions, it can be problematic. | 17:33 |

| na__ | anyone helping me here ??????????????????????????????????? | 17:34 |
| sskalnik | na__: patience | 17:35 |
| fsancho | Sidewinder1: I know, but Firefox9 comes from mozilla-team on Launchpad. It is supposed to be stable enough. | 17:35 |
| Nate__ | Ok pasted my sources list at: http://pastebin.com/sRqyWbZy | 17:36 |

| motherbrain | curious do most dpkg / packages install their exe or sh into the /usr/bin and usr/sbin directories. Because I have noticed that /bin and /sbin. | 17:37 |
| motherbrain | are mostly stay the same , have the core programs | 17:37 |
| MonkeyDust | motherbrain /usr/bin/ is where programs are c | 17:37 |
| MonkeyDust | motherbrain /usr/bin/ is where programs are located, that is correct | 17:38 |
| Nate__ | anymore news? | 17:38 |
| Nate__ | on my sources list? | 17:38 |
| Sidewinder1 | smile4ever, No clue; it's all in a foreign language, and I'm a lousy translator. | 17:38 |
| mneptok | Nate__: what happens when you click this link? - http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 17:39 |
| MonkeyDust | Nate__ still opening your pastebin page, takes long time | 17:39 |
| marel | I'm on laptop and there's things like battery saving mode by default on windows. Are they going to be in ubuntu ? | 17:39 |
| smile4ever | Sidewinder1: it's saying the dependencies are not installed. | 17:39 |
| Nate__ | When I go to that page it loads a Apache file server page. | 17:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | smile4ever, Are you using server, or can you access Synaptic/Software Center? | 17:40 |
| Nate__ | is that good? | 17:40 |
| mneptok | Nate__: OK, so nothing is prohibiting you from getting to the archives | 17:40 |
| Eette | yes marel, there are power settings in ubuntu. | 17:40 |

| ruser | si someone proficient with software raid and new grub? can you help me sort out the oneirc updates with following? http://pastebin.com/p8cfpgBj where does grub have to go to? | 17:42 |
| mneptok | Nate__: then "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (no quotes) | 17:42 |
| Nate__ | ok one sec | 17:42 |
| ruser | mneptok: is upgrade redundant when dist-upgrade? | 17:43 |
| mneptok | ruser: no, as you want any libraries and packages a new kernel needs *before* you go about upgrading the kernel. | 17:43 |
| MrSherlockHouseM | hm | 17:44 |

| mneptok | Nate__: Xubuntu user here. can't speak for recent Ubuntu iterations. i don't like the new UI, so i switched. my opinion is moot. | 17:46 |
| Nate__ | Whats different about Xubuntu? | 17:46 |
| mneptok | Nate__: XFCE versus GNOME/Unity | 17:47 |

| acidfrost | hmm this is weird firefox doesn't want to parse my php file | 17:48 |
| acidfrost | *doesn't want to let php parse my php file | 17:49 |
| Sidewinder1 | Nate__, Here's what Unity looks like; http://pic.mk/images/hzBA8.png I'll, at least for now ,stick with 10.04. :D | 17:49 |
| ruser | acidfrost: why would firefox do that? it's up to web server to parse and process any server side scripts | 17:49 |
| Sidewinder1 | Oops, gone. :-( | 17:49 |
| acidfrost | ruser, i corrected my self above | 17:49 |
| mneptok | Sidewinder1: bullet went wide to the right | 17:49 |
| Sidewinder1 | mneptok, The story of my life,.. :-( | 17:50 |
| ruser | acidfrost: you are still blaiming firefox | 17:50 |
| mneptok | acidfrost: parsing PHP is a function fo the server, not the browser. | 17:50 |
| motherbrain | sd | 17:50 |
| mneptok | s/fo/of/ | 17:50 |
| acidfrost | so then i've probably got apache configured wrong | 17:50 |
| mneptok | acidfrost: you need mod_php, that mod enabled, and .php files associated with the module and marked as executable | 17:51 |
| instanceoftom | what is a lightweight mailserver i can setup on my vps? | 17:51 |
| acidfrost | mneptok, yeah i've got mod_php i'm not sure if its enabled correctly | 17:51 |
| ruser | acidfrost: what mneptok and you might want to look .htaccess to enable specific directories to parse scripts | 17:51 |
| mneptok | ruser: we can turn paranoid once the lights are on ;) | 17:52 |
| marel | I've a 64BIT system. Should I download 32bit instead of 64 ? In the download page it says 32bit is recommended.. | 17:52 |
| compdoc | marel, nothing wrong with 64 bi | 17:52 |
| acidfrost | marel no 64 bit is fine :P | 17:52 |
| compdoc | bit | 17:52 |
| acidfrost | marel if you have over 4gb of ram use the 64 bit | 17:52 |
| acidfrost | other wise you'd be capped on 32 to 4gb | 17:53 |
| ruser | mneptok: sometimes global config says do not parse unless .htaccess says otherwise, but i'm not sure what hte default is | 17:53 |
| marel | Alright, thanks | 17:53 |
| ruser | acidfrost: not entirely true, they can get PAE kenrle but that can lead to some nasty bugs with ram | 17:53 |
| ruser | 64bit for sure | 17:54 |
| ruser | s/kenrle/kernel/ | 17:54 |
| acidfrost | ruser, yeah thats why i explicitly said otherwise lol | 17:54 |

| motherbrain | I have a really odd? I have a windows 7 os ..as the only os's on this harddrive... I booted with alive linux distro and used sudo blkid to display the uuid for the drives... I think shutdown the system and started it backup again ... issued the sudo blkid to get the uuid and it was persistent same uuid on reboot... so I am wondering where the uuid is stored on the harddrive I know linux machines store it in the superblock do micros | 17:54 |
| motherbrain | oft windows machine have that some where in their ntfs blocks because I don't think fat does | 17:54 |
| motherbrain | And if it is not stored somewhere on the harddrive this value then it wouldn't be persistent | 17:55 |
| ruser | is someone proficient with software raid and new grub? can you help me sort out the dist-upgrade to oneirc with following? http://pastebin.com/p8cfpgBj where does grub have to go to? | 17:56 |
| motherbrain | And it cann't just be stored in the registry unless ubuntu's blkid command could parse thru the registry | 17:56 |
| motherbrain | which I don't think it can | 17:56 |
| bean | motherbrain: the whole point of blkid is that it's persistent I believe. | 17:57 |
| bean | motherbrain: I would imagine it's a function of something about the drive, ie a serial number of sorts. | 17:58 |
| Kolnmenky | Hi I keep getting this same error when I try to mount my external hard drive: http://pastebin.com/fnpEnm4a | 17:58 |
| bean | Kolnmenky: is it raid? or just a windows disk. | 17:59 |
| Kolnmenky | I went to a cyber cafe and ran chkdsk in xp (it took a while) and I thought that had fixed it | 17:59 |
| Kolnmenky | bean it's a NTFS (Seagate) | 17:59 |
| bean | Kolnmenky: what command are you using to mount it. | 17:59 |
| Kolnmenky | bean sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/Disc5 | 17:59 |

| phil_phys | dear friends I can't download image page on ubuntu 11.10 this is the site http://rstampa.pubblica.istruzione.it/rassegna/rassegna.asp | 18:00 |
| motherbrain | ya, but it can only be persistent it stores the uuid on the HDD some where? I know if this was a linux ext3,4,..etc it would store it somewhere in the superblock.... On windows machines will this uuid be stored if the drive was an ntfs or fat... Because I am using linux boot cd to get the uuid on a windows machine | 18:00 |
| phil_phys | are u able to see the articles?? for me those articles are very important | 18:00 |
| Kolnmenky | bean: I get the same error | 18:01 |
| ruser | bean: Kolnmenky maybe also try in r/o mode too | 18:01 |

| BangBusRUs | Anybody help me with fdisk please just want to see what size my partitions are set to and partition a partition ? | 18:04 |
| motherbrain | well, I physically looked up in the past the place where the uuid gets stored on an ext based file system.... I was just wondering microsoft would have to do the same thing on their ntfs or fat file systems to maintain universal persistence | 18:04 |
| coryxrx | i have an ubuntu server problem is this the right room? | 18:04 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: that's the old url, i want dmesg output | 18:04 |
| bean | motherbrain: what does it matter? | 18:05 |
| ruser | coryxrx: just ask, as long aas it is ubuntu related | 18:05 |
| motherbrain | Also old drives that have old file systems like fat . do they support uuid / store it on their drive some where? | 18:05 |
| Kolnmenky | do I just type dmesg? | 18:05 |
| ruser | is someone proficient with software raid and new grub? can you help me sort out the dist-upgrade to oneirc with following? http://pastebin.com/p8cfpgBj where does grub have to go to? | 18:05 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: yeah | 18:05 |
| motherbrain | It matters to uniquely identify a drive if you where making software to image a particular drive for someone .... and to make it dummy proof | 18:06 |
| coryxrx | ok, I have a fresh install of ubuntu server 11.10 with no gui and whenever I try and boot up without a monitor it does not boot and does not show up on the network | 18:06 |

| Kolnmenky | ruser: http://pastebin.com/CpHCxjR4 | 18:07 |
| coryxrx | ruser: no I do not | 18:07 |
| ruser | coryxrx: than use your dedicated/vps admin panel to reinstall ubuntu from the image provided by the service provider | 18:08 |
| acidfrost | ruser: mneptok: yeah i forgot to set Include=conf.d/* | 18:08 |
| ruser | coryxrx: i assume you have backups of the most important stuff | 18:08 |
| coryxrx | well I literally just installed it last night. Its running on a mac mini and when I boot with a display everything works fine. | 18:09 |
| ruser | coryxrx: ah, so you do have access to the machine. does ssh run with monitor attached? do you run iptables? you might want to allow access to ssh port | 18:09 |
| ruser | corryx sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT | 18:10 |
| kollapse | Hi. I have a problem here with Ubuntu. It seems that with any browser, if I attempt to save/download a file, when the file save dialog should apper, the browser freezes. | 18:10 |
| coryxrx | ruser: I do have access to ssh with the monitor attached, but for example if I boot without the monitor attached and then plug it in after a few minutes all I get is a black screen | 18:11 |
| ruser | coryxrx: well, that's normal. X failed to start without monitor | 18:11 |
| ruser | coryxrx: you just need to resart it | 18:11 |
| ruser | coryxrx: i mean the X | 18:11 |
| kollapse | And after the browser freezes, If I use xkill or kill to close the application, the windeco gets killed as well. | 18:11 |
| coryxrx | ruser: but is it even running X if it is just a cli? | 18:12 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: i'm not sure what's happeneing there. should mount. does the external drive use any propriatary softwrae? | 18:12 |
| plotino | hi everybody | 18:12 |
| plotino | i have serious issue installing Nvidia geforce4 mx440-se video card agp with ubuntu | 18:13 |
| plotino | doesnt get to start x | 18:13 |
| ruser | coryxrx: if you install ubuntu with X, than it tries to start it up, doesn't find the monitor and fails to start X. while everythign else is running you can just swtich back to cli mode by pressing ctrl+alt+f1 (up to f4, iirc) | 18:13 |
| plotino | the only way is to set driver vesa in xorg.conf | 18:13 |
| acidfrost | plotino, you need to blacklist nouveau and use nvidia's proprietary drivers | 18:13 |
| acidfrost | or use vesa | 18:14 |
| acidfrost | :P | 18:14 |
| ruser | is someone proficient with software raid and new grub? can you help me sort out the dist-upgrade to oneirc with following? http://pastebin.com/p8cfpgBj where does grub have to go to? | 18:14 |
| plotino | vesa doesnt get the resolution for my monitor | 18:14 |
| plotino | 1920x1080 | 18:14 |
| acidfrost | yeah then you need to install the proprietary drivers | 18:14 |
| acidfrost | sudo apt-get install nvidia (should work but let me double check | 18:14 |
| acidfrost | ) | 18:14 |
| coryxrx | ruser: I dont think I have X, it is just the Ubuntu Server version. I did not install it with any sort of gui its just a cli. | 18:14 |
| plotino | i have installed nvidia-173 from ubuntu repository | 18:15 |
| plotino | anf also nvidia-96 | 18:15 |
| plotino | they dont work | 18:15 |
| Kolnmenky | ruser: hmm what do you mean the software that comes with it? | 18:15 |
| kollapse | Any help with my problem ? | 18:15 |
| acidfrost | plotino, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 18:16 |
| plotino | ok | 18:16 |
| Kolnmenky | I deleted it when I formatted the drive | 18:16 |
| acidfrost | plotino, if that doesn't work 180 covers a decent amount of cards | 18:16 |
| plotino | so it's better to remove what i have previously installed? | 18:16 |
| acidfrost | yeah otherwise you get conflictions | 18:16 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: some enclosure manufacturers provide propriatary software which might use variations on partition and filesystems thus it might not be simple ntfs | 18:17 |
| acidfrost | and it would probably be a good idea to blacklist noveau | 18:17 |
| plotino | but thix nvidia-current overwrite my xorg.conf autonomously? | 18:17 |
| Kolnmenky | ruser: :/ it's a seagate freeagent | 18:17 |
| plotino | why blacklist and not remove noveau? | 18:17 |
| acidfrost | because its a good back up driver | 18:17 |
| plotino | ok | 18:17 |
| plotino | but i prefer vesa as backup | 18:18 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: do you have any data on that drive that you need? | 18:18 |
| plotino | acidfrost: what to do for xorg.conf? | 18:18 |
| ruser | plotino: also, if you do you updates the drive might come back, so blacklisting will make sure it doesnt' load | 18:18 |
| acidfrost | you may or may not have nvidia-xconfig | 18:18 |
| ruser | s/drive/driver/ | 18:18 |
| acidfrost | if you have nvidia-xconfig just type that as root or use sudo nvidia-xconfig | 18:19 |
| Kolnmenky | ruser: I don't it's pretty much empty and it's fairly new | 18:19 |
| nvz | this is as I know a universal linux issue but since the machine I'm currently working on and concerned with is using ubuntu 11.04 I am gonna ask here | 18:19 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: than reformat it | 18:20 |
| Kolnmenky | ruser: with gparted? to ext3? | 18:20 |
| acidfrost | !question | nvz | 18:20 |
| ubottu | nvz: 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 | 18:20 |
| kollapse | In fact, any file save dialog freezes (in Gnome). Any way to fix this ? | 18:20 |
| nvz | the issue is no scrolling in flash applets, I thought it was because the flash applet catches the scroll but thats not the case, apps that use the scroll don't get it. Anyone have any suggestions on running it down? | 18:20 |
| plotino | what is the command to check in which packet is a specific program?? | 18:20 |
| coryxrx | ruser: I have also tried to stop X but it is not installed | 18:20 |
| acidfrost | nvz is it a touchpad ? | 18:20 |
| ruser | coryxrx: what do you get with ctrl+alt+f1 when monitor is attached | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | plotino: so you want what package provides a command? | 18:21 |
| plotino | yes ActionParsnip | 18:21 |
| ruser | coryxrx: you can hit enter a couple of times if nothing is on | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | plotino: dpkg -S command | 18:21 |
| coryxrx | ruser: when I am in the grub menu? | 18:21 |
| plotino | thanks :) | 18:21 |
| acidfrost | plotino, type which | 18:21 |
| nvz | acidfrost: no and its not a mouse issue. when mouse is over a flash applet the browser will not scroll the page, and the flash applets that use scroll dont get the scroll | 18:21 |
| ruser | coryxrx: why are you at the grub menu? | 18:21 |
| acidfrost | then name of the acid | 18:21 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: if you don't wantto use it under windows ext3 would be a fine choice | 18:21 |
| bean | nvz: thats an issue with flash on all platforms, flash catches the scroll. | 18:21 |
| plotino | acidfrost but which is only for the location of the command | 18:21 |
| acidfrost | plotino, which is a good way to find out if its installed ;p | 18:22 |
| nvz | bean: yes but on windows you can in these games use scroll to zoom, in linux (any I've tried) you cannot | 18:22 |
| ruser | coryxrx: can you repeat the full question, of what is the issue and what are you trying to do? | 18:22 |
| acidfrost | nvz, you'd be better off using wine and chrome or wine and firefox | 18:22 |

| hobbelt | I need to set application startup settings | 18:23 |
| plotino | acidfrost yes but i wanna know which packet i have to install to have a command available | 18:23 |
| acidfrost | nvz, though i seem to recall a certain key combination you could use to simulate scrolling | 18:23 |
| coryxrx | ruser: ok, my full question/problem is that I have ubuntu server installed and no gui is install. My goal is to have it boot up to the login prompt without the need for a monitor attached. | 18:23 |
| acidfrost | acidfrost, ahh well what are you looking for ? | 18:23 |
| nvz | acidfrost: yeah that won't work. I've installed ubuntu on my cousin's computer and she will just keep going back to windows if it doesnt work the way its suppose to on this matter | 18:24 |
| coryxrx | ruser: and it has always been like that it boots into the grub menu and counts down and then boots into the cli | 18:24 |
| ruser | coryxrx: so what's the issue than? cli is good. right? | 18:24 |
| bean | nvz: why do you need to zoom in flash? | 18:24 |
| nvz | acidfrost: the wine with chrome might do the trick.. as long as it runs smoothly and works | 18:24 |
| acidfrost | acidfrost, yes the browsers run fine where you get into trouble is with .net applications | 18:25 |
| coryxrx | ruser: yes but it wont even boot into the cli if not monitor is attached or even gain network access | 18:25 |
| nvz | bean: I dont, she does.. plays farmville.. and this reason alone.. not being able to play it at normal speed due to flash bugs keeps her loading win7 which will kill this damn computer | 18:25 |

| bs | hi | 18:26 |
| hobbelt | acidfrost I have a chromium launch button in the Unity bar, and i want to add this: --enable-extension-timeline-api | 18:26 |
| nvz | acidfrost: yes I know this, we need not argue about it you already gave me an idea and if you'd STFU I'd be able to test it .. heh | 18:27 |
| coryxrx | ruser: it is | 18:27 |
| oCean | nvz: control your language here, please | 18:27 |
| Kolnmenky | ruser: oh ok I tried to do it with the disk utility. I'll do that then | 18:27 |
| coryxrx | ruser: i did a lot of research on this and other people have the same problem but it seems that they all have a gui of some sort | 18:27 |
| nvz | oCean: my language is under control | 18:27 |

| acidfrost | hobbelt, you could mv chromium to say chromium-old and create a bash file with chromium-old --enable-extension-timeline-api | 18:27 |
| oCean | nvz: thanks | 18:28 |
| acidfrost | nvz, thats pretty rude i'm just trying to help | 18:28 |
| bs | how to run windows games | 18:28 |
| bean | bs: you can do it through WINE | 18:28 |
| bean | !wine | bs | 18:28 |
| ubottu | bs: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 18:28 |
| ruser | coryxrx: can you link me to some of those posts online? it's a first time i hear that | 18:28 |
| hobbelt | acidfrost that probably implicates me finding the chromium launcher somwhere in a dir on my pc.. hmm | 18:28 |
| nvz | acidfrost: you were trying to help, arguing about the reason stupid people do stupid things isnt helping.. the matter at hand is that flash doesnt work properly on linux. we both know it sucks and fb and the games are stupid | 18:29 |
| ruser | coryxrx: can you check your network equipment to see if the box request and ip from dhcp server? | 18:29 |
| mitic | http://xdcc_21 | 18:29 |
| acidfrost | hobbelt, yeah i'd say it would probably be somewhere in /usr/bin but i'm not familiar that much with unity | 18:29 |
| orkaa | http://dpaste.com/680971/ | 18:29 |
| acidfrost | hobbelt, you may even be able to right click it for all i know | 18:29 |
| coryxrx | ruser: yea ill find one for you, but I tried booting with a monitor while it was attached to the network and everything worked fine, its only when a monitor is not attached | 18:29 |
| hobbelt | acidfrost .. it makes everything so much more complicated.. and right click doesnt work :( | 18:30 |
| bs | what is the best client to run voice and web cam for yahoo and msn | 18:30 |
| ruser | coryxrx: that's really strange, i'd look in the grub configuration | 18:30 |
| cgroza | Hello everyone. By default, the bash prompt shows the current directory. What do I have to do to disable this? | 18:30 |
| coryxrx | ruser: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1223504 | 18:30 |
| acidfrost | hobbelt, what i was talking about was just mving the actual binary then replacing it with a bash script that way it would get run no matter what | 18:30 |

| antivirtel | I'm going to install an FTP server for a slow CPU device. Which one will you recomend: pro, vs or pure FTP(d)? My need is only the speed. I will used in LAN, so security doesn't really matter now. | 18:31 |
| cgroza | bean: thanks. | 18:31 |
| ruser | coryxrx: but they all seem to have X installed | 18:31 |
| bean | cgroza: why do you not want the current directory in your PS1, though. It's very useful | 18:32 |
| ruser | is someone proficient with software raid and new grub? can you help me sort out the dist-upgrade to oneirc with following? http://pastebin.com/p8cfpgBj where does grub have to go to? | 18:32 |
| coryxrx | ruser: yea which is why this makes no sense to me and why it should be working when its not | 18:32 |
| acidfrost | ruser, try #linux they are full of raid guys | 18:33 |
| hobbelt | acidfrost .. I found an app which can do it for me.. hmm | 18:33 |
| cgroza | bean: it gets annoying with large hierarchies. | 18:33 |
| ruser | coryxrx: but you dont' have X installed, you are not getting the same issue | 18:33 |
| Kolnmenky | ruser: This is just weird now I was able to mount it as Disc5_ | 18:33 |
| acidfrost | acidfrost, cool mind sharing in case some one lurking needed to know | 18:33 |
| ruser | acidfrost: i'll probably chased of to #ubuntu :) | 18:33 |
| cgroza | bean: I prefer pwd whenever i need the current dir. | 18:33 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: with ntfs? | 18:33 |
| Kolnmenky | now I have Disc5_ and Disc5__ | 18:33 |
| acidfrost | acidfrost, or they may send you to #arch | 18:33 |
| coryxrx | ruser: but its still the same problems, it boots when a monitor is attached and gets network access but with no monitor it does not | 18:33 |
| Kolnmenky | I believe so because I couldn't format it | 18:33 |
| ruser | coryxrx: no, their machien boots but halts X start because of hte dailog box | 18:34 |
| Kolnmenky | it says NTFS the disk utility | 18:34 |
| acidfrost | coryxrx, you could just cut the vga cord off and leave it plugged in | 18:34 |
| acidfrost | :P | 18:34 |
| ruser | coryxrx: yours doesn't get boot | 18:34 |
| ruser | acidfrost: lol, i wonder if there is a signaling pin | 18:34 |
| bean | cgroza: valid, you could use \W to get the basename, so that you just have the current dir and not the whole hieracrhcy | 18:34 |
| hobbelt | acidfrost : gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/.local/share/applications/ --create-new <-- there we go :). gah, why doesnt right click work... | 18:34 |
| coryxrx | acidfrost: lol | 18:34 |
| ahandy | question.. i just installed chromium/awesome-wm, but chromium does not tile in awesome-wm... does anyone have any idea why | 18:35 |
| acidfrost | ruser, yes there is but you could just plug it into a power outlet | 18:35 |
| acidfrost | scratch that a 9v battery | 18:35 |
| coryxrx | ruser: but its just weird that it wont boot without a monitor | 18:35 |
| cgroza | bean: thanks. That is even more useful :D. | 18:35 |
| ruser | coryxrx: i never heard of such issues unless you have X | 18:35 |
| acidfrost | coryxrx, yeah it should boot with out a monitor arch did it all the time | 18:35 |
| ruser | coryxrx: i run several dedicated servers and all of them are headless setup | 18:35 |
| ruser | coryxrx: are you sure the X is not installed | 18:36 |
| acidfrost | its probably a configuration issue | 18:36 |
| ruser | acidfrost: or he is not asking the right question | 18:36 |
| buttons | I started a process with nohup and put it in the background, I then killed it using kill −9 PID but it seems to still be running but ps does not list anything. Any ideas what might be wrong? | 18:36 |
| acidfrost | ruser, true | 18:36 |
| coryxrx | ruser: is there a way I can check to make sure | 18:36 |
| ruser | coryxrx: boot with monitor attached and get hte list of packages installed | 18:36 |
| acidfrost | coryxrx, you could check dmesg | 18:37 |
| ruser | acidfrost: what woudl be in dmesg? | 18:37 |
| kawatan | I'm on 11.10 on a MSI Wind U160DX. There is a small webcam on the laptop but Cheese isn't recognizing it. Any suggestions for first steps towards making it work? | 18:37 |
| acidfrost | ruser, should have xorg info | 18:37 |
| ruser | acidfrost: really? | 18:37 |
| acidfrost | ruser, then again ubuntu differs greatly from arch | 18:37 |
| ruser | acidfrost: lol. shows how much i use X :) | 18:37 |
| ruser | kawatan: take a look at lsusb to get the id and find the driver by id? | 18:38 |
| buttons | nevermind I found it | 18:38 |
| ruser | kawatan: maybe lspci instead for pci id | 18:38 |
| acidfrost | coryxrx or you could check your logs /var/logs | 18:38 |
| ruser | coryxrx: dpkg --get-selections and pastebin it | 18:38 |

| mosdef100200 | Hi there has anyone tried the Knoppix live cd I am running it in vbox and all i get is a robot menu with very basic functions? | 18:39 |
| bean | mosdef100200: this is for ubuntu, not knoppix | 18:39 |
| wado | ruser not muted of course, I'm talking about a serious matter | 18:40 |
| ruser | x3no: are you truning to run windows executable in linux? | 18:40 |
| mosdef100200 | I know just trying my luck | 18:40 |
| ruser | wado: doesnt' hurt to check | 18:40 |
| x3no | ruser: yes, with Wine | 18:40 |
| acidfrost | mosdef100200, wrong channel bud you could try #koppix | 18:40 |
| Kolnmenky | this just baffles me I just rebooted and I have the drive mounted as Disc5_. I also see Disc5. I know that whenever I try to copy files I'll get the same input output error though :( | 18:40 |
| mosdef100200 | Ok | 18:40 |
| libin_v | How can I know if I am running a 64-bit kernel | 18:40 |
| kawatan | wado, check sound settings: sometimes messing with volume there directly helps me | 18:40 |
| kawatan | ruser: strangely the webcam isn't showing up at all with lspci. | 18:40 |
| ruser | libin_v: uname -a | 18:40 |
| sivakumar_ | hi every on,,,here any one now about NS2 | 18:40 |
| Kolnmenky | why do I have so many devices Disc5_ Disc5__ Disc5___ ...? | 18:40 |
| wado | acidfrost done, and i got in-terminal interface | 18:40 |
| ruser | kawatan: what about lsusb? | 18:41 |
| kawatan | likewise. | 18:41 |
| acidfrost | wado use the arrow keys to navigate | 18:41 |
| ruser | kawatan: what about -vV flag with lspci (if i remember the correct syntax) | 18:41 |
| ruser | kawatan: do you have to enable it by pressing the function buttons? | 18:41 |
| acidfrost | and if you see an m any where(normally at the bottom) navigate there and push m to unmute it | 18:41 |
| libin_v | ruser: I get the following .. Linux LibinUbuntu 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 18:42 |
| ahandy | question :D my laptop holds for about 4 hours on windows on battery :/ however, on ubuntu, it maxes out at just one hour and 20 minutes... can anyone help me with that? | 18:42 |
| ruser | libin_v: x86_64 means you are running 64 bit | 18:42 |
| bean | libin_v: then you're on 64 bit. | 18:42 |
| ahandy | as well as overheating | 18:42 |
| x3no | ruset : so what about it, im running executable with Wine | 18:42 |
| acidfrost | ahandy, depends on the applications you use | 18:42 |
| coryxrx | ruser: am i just removing everything that has "xserver" | 18:42 |
| x3no | ruser : so what about it, im running executable with Wine | 18:42 |
| libin_v | ruser: bean: Thanks | 18:42 |
| ahandy | acidfrost: awesome-wm as a windows manager :/ not sure about any other app running in the background... not sure there is any.. just installed ubuntu | 18:42 |
| acidfrost | ahandy, my netbook should be getting around 3 - 4 hours but mine maxes out at about 2:20 | 18:43 |
| ruser | x3no: ah, no idea, i havne't touched win in 5 years | 18:43 |
| acidfrost | ahandy, there are tons but i couldn't list them all | 18:43 |
| kawatan | ...this whole year I've had this netbook and never noticed the webcam function key | 18:43 |
| kawatan | thank you XP | 18:43 |
| ruser | x3no: not sure why woudl you need to sudo, but looks like you need to add wine to group that can access your sound devices | 18:43 |
| ahandy | acidfrost: so what's the solution? | 18:43 |
| kawatan | now to see if this'll work in skype XD | 18:43 |
| bean | ahandy: you might want to check out laptop mode, and install laptop-mode-tools. | 18:43 |
| sivakumar_ | NETWORK SIMULATOR.......does anyone know about this | 18:43 |
| x3no | ruser: thanks a lot | 18:43 |
| ruser | kawatan: so i guess correctly? | 18:44 |
| bean | sivakumar_: what? | 18:44 |
| acidfrost | ahandy if you want to extend life i'd switch to arch linux its very bare bones but its not for the beginner | 18:44 |
| ruser | x3no: did that fix it? | 18:44 |
| sivakumar_ | bean, NS2 | 18:44 |
| ahandy | acidfrost: i use arch on my desktop | 18:44 |
| kawatan | yup, ruser. thanks! | 18:44 |
| x3no | ruser: wait :D | 18:44 |
| wado | acidfrost I have only a scroll for volume, nothing related to the headphone | 18:44 |
| x3no | ruser: but seems that it will help | 18:44 |
| acidfrost | ahandy, well then you should be right at home then :P | 18:44 |
| sivakumar_ | bean, do you know about ns2 | 18:44 |
| ahandy | acidfrost: no experience with linux on a lappy | 18:44 |
| ruser | x3no: maybe google for wine and sound support, my guess wine doens't have the rights to sound devices :) | 18:44 |
| acidfrost | ahandy, the really only major problem is wifi | 18:44 |
| bean | sivakumar_: what about it. no i don't know anything. | 18:45 |
| acidfrost | ahandy, but assuming you have an atheros chip you should be good | 18:45 |
| ruser | kawatan: lol, awesome :) | 18:45 |

| meegooo | acidfrost: i want to know if there is something like SIGINFO in linux. | 18:48 |

| wado | acidfrost there r no many oprtions, under the output tab there nohing but only "Internal audio analog stereo" | 18:49 |
| ruser | meegooo: wrong flag, my bad | 18:49 |

| ruser | Kolnmenky: no idea, i'd just ignore :) | 18:51 |
| subzero | Thank you ruser..!! | 18:51 |
| acidfrost | you'd need a new sound card wado | 18:51 |
| ruser | acidfrost: maybe he can try livecd? | 18:52 |
| coryxrx | ruser: im going to try and reinstall and see if that fixes my problem | 18:52 |
| wado | acidfrost why? it is working fine on windows | 18:52 |
| ruser | coryxrx: install SERVER do not install X | 18:52 |
| acidfrost | wado, well you neglected that part | 18:52 |
| coryxrx | is X included in the ubuntu server image? | 18:52 |
| acidfrost | wado next please give relevant information ;p | 18:53 |
| ruser | coryxrx: probably, but it's also possible it gets the package from internet | 18:53 |
| acidfrost | *next time | 18:53 |
| ruser | acidfrost: my guess it's still mutred | 18:53 |
| Kolnmenky | ruser: wouldn't that mean something? because now the device is always busy and I can't do anything with it | 18:53 |
| ruser | s/mutred/muted/ | 18:53 |
| wado | acidfrost then what to do? | 18:53 |
| acidfrost | wado, i'd do as ruser suggested and try a live cd | 18:53 |
| acidfrost | ruser, could be but alsamixer should list the headphone port | 18:54 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: you probably have a shell open, in the same directory | 18:54 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: you can try to sudo lsof|grep /mnt/Disck5 or w/e the directory is | 18:54 |
| wado | acidfrost a live cd?? why? | 18:54 |
| ruser | Kolnmenky: to see which process is keeping it busy | 18:54 |
| acidfrost | wado, because a livecd has only default applications and no user configuration | 18:55 |
| ruser | wado: to confirm that something is misconfigured on your system | 18:55 |
| ruser | s/something/if something/ | 18:55 |
| acidfrost | and if its your setup then like ruser said it will confirm that its something that you installed or did that muted it | 18:55 |

| MonkeyDust | bs what other partitions are there or are you expecting to see? did you create them manually? | 18:59 |
| AFD | is it possible to migrate from one ubuntu machine to a new one (saving all settings etc) just by using deja dup? | 18:59 |
| MonkeyDust | AFD yes, moment, here's how | 19:00 |
| bs | MonkeyDust, sdb have 3 partions,my usb device,sda have another two partions | 19:00 |
| MonkeyDust | AFD this works, i used it mayself http://paste.ubuntu.com/791996/ | 19:01 |
| MonkeyDust | bs what's the outcome of sudo fdisk -l ? | 19:01 |
| AFD | MonkeyDust: thanks. And this will pick up settings etc that aren't stored in the my /home/usr ? | 19:01 |
| bs | MonkeyDust, fdisk -l | pastebinit | 19:02 |
| bs | You are trying to send an empty document, exiting | 19:02 |
| ruser | bs: you need to specify block device | 19:02 |
| MonkeyDust | bs it'xs sudo fdisk -l | 19:02 |
| ruser | bs: ignore me :) | 19:03 |
| bs | MonkeyDust, http://paste.ubuntu.com/792002/ | 19:03 |
| MonkeyDust | bs if the devices are in fstab, you need to do sudo mount -a | 19:04 |
| bs | MonkeyDust, i did sudo mount -a and the partiosn did not appear yet | 19:05 |
| MonkeyDust | if they are not, you can mount them manually | 19:05 |
| bs | MonkeyDust, how? | 19:05 |
| AFD | MonkeyDust: sorry to badger you - will that code grab my home folder as well as the apps and settings? or do I copy (or deja dup) the home folder as well as running that code? | 19:05 |

| MonkeyDust | AFD no, you must backup your home folder | 19:07 |
| ruser | AFD: .local where? | 19:07 |
| wado | acidfrost and if it work ? | 19:07 |
| acidfrost | then you have a configuration issue wado | 19:07 |
| ruser | wado: if it works under livecd the issue lie than with either ocnfiguration of your current setup or missing/wrong driver | 19:08 |
| ruser | acidfrost: maybe he needs lkm loaded? for it? | 19:08 |
| AFD | ruser: /home/.local | 19:08 |
| acidfrost | ruser, its possible | 19:08 |
| ruser | AFD: if you backup /home .local will be included | 19:08 |

| acidfrost | frots, or you might have deletd it as root | 19:43 |
| ft_mn | pnorman: net Company u mean? | 19:43 |
| schnuffle | ruser: and afterwards you install it to /dev/sdb as well, otherwise it might happen that you can't reboot with a failed disk | 19:43 |
| frots | why would I do that | 19:43 |
| stepnjump | trism, whenever I press a key, whichever app I use, I would like to type the date using this macro. Not just gedit. Besides I don't want to press 3 different buttons to get my date, juste one key and it's there.. When I was in Windows, I used to have an app called macro express. It was working great | 19:43 |

| motherbrain | what do you guys/girls think is the hardest linux distro/os to get good at. I am assuming arch and gentoo but are their harder then that apart from just building your own linux from scratch distro | 19:44 |

| acidfrost | *ruser | 19:44 |
| pnorman | ft_mn: I think you'd be best off finding the support channel for proxychains as it doesn't seem to be a ubuntu issue. Level3 is/was a major network | 19:44 |
| trism | stepnjump: I'm sure it is possible but I have no idea off the top of my head, my best idea is the first one I gave with xclip | 19:45 |
| Oer | !poll | motherbrain | 19:45 |
| ubottu | motherbrain: 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. | 19:45 |
| stepnjump | yes ok trism thanks... | 19:45 |
| ruser | stepnjump: did my command work? | 19:45 |
| ft_mn | pnorman: the proxy is from saud arabia, im from europe and even when i use proxychains like: proxychains ssh "host in europe" I get the same message... No US involved at all | 19:45 |
| acidfrost | motherbrain, to answer your question gentoo is probably the hardest, but building your own is definitely harder, arch is somewhat difficult if you've never used linux before | 19:46 |
| pnorman | ft_mn: try sshing to an IP. | 19:46 |
| schnuffle | ruser: because the bios doesn't know anything about soft raid. It just loads some sectors from the disk configured in the BIOPS settings and executes it. So to get grub running the initial code must go the configured disk MBR. | 19:46 |

| meerkats | are .rpm extracted and built as .tar.gz's? | 19:52 |
| trism | stepnjump: I got it! http://paste.ubuntu.com/792055/ copy that to a bash script someplace and make it executable, then set your keyboard shortcut to the script, and install xclip and xdotool (works here), copies the text to the clipboard and then simulates a middle click on the current window | 19:52 |
| schnuffle | ruser: then check /dev/sdb. if that is bootable then write grub to it. Then it means that either the BIOS settings points to dev/sdb or it has /dev/sdb as second option in the boot priorities. That makes sense. But to have a fault tolerant system you need both to be bootable | 19:52 |
| dr01dy | figured out my apt-get issues | 19:52 |
| shades | I have a 10.10 mavrick iso but for some reason I can't seem to install off of it.... It should have apache and php on there, right? | 19:53 |
| dr01dy | I wish I can upgrade off of Jaunty | 19:53 |
| ruser | urlin2u: http://pastebin.com/p8cfpgBj that's the question. if i dont' get it right i'll have to scrap the entire box and re-setup up | 19:53 |
| acidfrost | shades, no apache and php are seperate packages | 19:53 |
| ruser | schnuffle: yeah, i understand but actually fdisk lists neither as bootable | 19:54 |
| urlin2u | ruser, I'm not raid knowledgeable. | 19:54 |
| ruser | schnuffle: which is odd :) | 19:54 |
| shades | acidfrost, right but are they on the 10.10 install cd? | 19:54 |
| acidfrost | shades, you'd have to install them seperately | 19:54 |
| ruser | urlin2u: yeah, the same here | 19:54 |
| ruser | shades: yes they should be | 19:54 |
| shades | i can't seem to isntall anything off this install cd via the pckage manager while I'm in x, but it is a vm so.... | 19:54 |
| acidfrost | ruser, they shouldn'tbe on the 10.10 live cd | 19:54 |
| schnuffle | ruser: Ooops. error from my part. Of course none is marked bootable, bacause your boot partition is /dev/md2 | 19:54 |
| trism | stepnjump: you may want to replace: date | xclip; with echo -n $(date) | xclip; otherwise you get a newline too | 19:54 |
| acidfrost | ruser, maybe on the ubuntu server live cd but not on the desktop live cd | 19:55 |
| ruser | schnuffle: so. where does grub should sintall to? :) | 19:55 |
| ruser | acidfrost: oh i htought install CD not liveCD | 19:55 |
| schnuffle | ruser: /dev/sda and /dev/sdb | 19:55 |
| acidfrost | ruser, well technically the live cd is the install cd | 19:55 |
| ruser | schnuffle: actually that's making sense, grub has knowldge of raid, right? | 19:56 |
| acidfrost | but the server cd and the desktop/netbook iso's do not contain apache or php | 19:56 |
| schnuffle | ruser: as normally dev/sda is marked as first boot device in the BIOS. Write it to /dev/sda first | 19:56 |
| ruser | acidfrost: it's been a while, i ususlaly use netsintall images, if anything | 19:56 |

| onixx1 | I have a ubuntu live 11.04 cd with a modified inird that mounts the /cow filesystem over an NFS rw export for persistancy. All works fine and retain the changes made over and over... with 1 ISSUE... firefox (and only firefox) causes a kernel oops when quitting. any clues ? it does not crash in non persistant mode (tmpfs /cow instead of nfs /cow) | 20:09 |

| theTroy | Hi! I connected extrenal screen to my VGA-out on laptop once, and all worked fine. When I connected it second time, now every time the external screen has purple colour. I checked it with another pc and it shows normal colours, but not when I connect it to the ubuntu machine. Ubuntu 10.04 Nvidia proprietary drivers | 20:32 |
| ruser | bs: than run this sudo mkdir /mnt/disk1 && sudo mount -o loop /media/01CC6BF273362E10/eVo-Gamez-Sam100/BROODWAR.iso /mnt/disk1 | 20:32 |
| bs | ruser, i did and it work now thanks | 20:32 |
| nzee | getting this error 'decoder jpeg not available'. Some prob with PIL i suppose. help! | 20:32 |
| ruser | theTroy: sounds like the connector isn't sticking too well. usually you get funky colours when that happens | 20:33 |
| bs | pidgin main menu wont to open | 20:33 |
| ruser | theTroy: try asjusting the connection | 20:33 |
| schnuffle | nzee: you need python-imaging. sudo apt-get install python -imaging | 20:33 |
| theTroy | ruser: it works under Vista on the same connector | 20:33 |
| theTroy | without purple tint | 20:33 |
| ruser | theTroy: than asjust the colors in the ubuntu. dont' ask me wehre i ahven't used X in 5 eyars | 20:34 |

| rcmaehl | Hello, I made a DBAN lave usb to nuke a certain hard disk however it started autonuking all my HDDs so I killed my pc power (DBAN was running for <3 seconds) and now my partitions don't show up. How do I fix this without lossing my data? | 20:34 |
| theTroy | thanks.. I guess Ill just connect it through hdmi... hdmi -> vga cables are cheap | 20:35 |
| shades | what's the local apt-get install command? | 20:35 |
| acidfrost | ruser, you shouldn't need to color correct your monitor | 20:35 |
| ruser | acidfrost: look what theTroy asked | 20:36 |
| schnuffle | shades: there's none but there's dpkg -i <package> to install package | 20:36 |
| acidfrost | oh your using hdmi | 20:36 |
| theTroy | I wasnt | 20:36 |
| theTroy | I am planning to now | 20:36 |

| theTroy | marel: I run ubuntu under ubuntu in Vbox, the one in the VM is much slower, at least for me | 20:37 |

| Argorok | Hello. I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 x86 on my desktop and when installation finishes and I restart the computer, after the grub menu my display get "no signal" message... Looks like some resolution that the native driver doesn't support or something like that. I tryed to set nomodeset on grub instead of quiet splash and didn't help... Can anyone help me to solve it? I can't even get terminals (ctrl+alt+f1) to install nvidia drivers | 20:43 |
| skvernobot | =) | 20:44 |
| Jordan_U | rcmaehl: You may have irrecoverably damaged the first partition (though some file recovery should be possible, it won't be easy or complete), but any other partitions should be fine if you really only had it running for a few seconds. | 20:44 |
| nzee | ruser, did it. still same error | 20:44 |
| sskalnik | Argorok: You might try nofb instead of / in addition to nomodeset | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | sebastian: possibly in BIOS | 20:44 |
| mellpatr | which the better RDP client for oneiric? | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mellpatr: none and all | 20:44 |
| sebastian | ActionParsnip: thanks | 20:44 |
| Argorok | sskalnik, let me try, thank you | 20:45 |
| mellpatr | ahahh goood!! | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | mellpatr: there is no single best app for anything in any OS | 20:45 |
| mellpatr | =D | 20:45 |
| mellpatr | yes.. i agree.. | 20:45 |
| mellpatr | i trying to install gnome-rdp | 20:45 |
| rcmaehl | Jordan_U: first partition of one disk was /boot which I might be able to reinstall. the other was a fairly large /home and I really don't have too much config in the first few dozen folders that I need | 20:45 |
| mellpatr | but dont work | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mellpatr: rdesktop exists | 20:46 |
| Jordan_U | rcmaehl: Good. If it never made it to your /home/ partition then recovery of your /home partition should be almost trivial with testdisk. | 20:46 |
| mellpatr | Lets see... | 20:46 |
| sskalnik | How do I reset a serial port? I exited minicom without resetting the port and now it's "busy". | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sskalnik: unload then reload the module maybe | 20:47 |
| sskalnik | rcmaehl: if you are paranoid and have a spare disk, it might not hurt to dd the broken disk to a spare. | 20:47 |
| rcmaehl | Jordan_U: the live ubuntu cd is the 3.0 linux kernel and Testdisk only has a download for kernels 2.6.x and 2.4.x | 20:48 |
| ruser | sskalnik: rcmaehl it's a MUST. before you do any recoveris backup exitisting disk | 20:48 |
| schnuffle | nzee: when I install python-imaging I get jpeg support, are you running a web instance in a virtualenv? | 20:48 |
| mellpatr | ActionParsnip: was missing the grdesktop package... | 20:48 |
| mellpatr | thanks man... | 20:48 |
| Argorok | sskalnik, didn't work... neither nomodeset nofb, neither only nofb | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | rcmaehl: Install testdisk via Ubuntu Software Center. | 20:48 |
| ruser | nzee: sorry, not sure, going to eat now | 20:48 |
| rcmaehl | kk | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | rcmaehl: You should almost never download software from a website when using GNU/Linux. | 20:49 |
| nzee | ok ruser. bon appetit :) | 20:49 |
| greenit | hi, i wanted to install diablo 2 on ubuntu, but when i run the setup with wine1.3 it says "please insert the install-cd", but i have inserted it.... | 20:49 |
| sskalnik | Argorok: all ttys (Ctrl Alt F2) blank? | 20:49 |
| DroidHost | where can i get a ISO of 11.04 64bit i dont care for 11.10 cause of the new Unity stuff and 10.04 is too old for what i am tring to do | 20:49 |
| Gentoo64 | greenit: check that the cd drive it defined in the winecfg | 20:49 |
| schnuffle | nzee: because by default PIL gets installed without jpeg as libjpeg62-dev is missing | 20:49 |
| greenit | Gentoo64, thx | 20:49 |
| Argorok | sskalnik, yes | 20:50 |
| owenll | DroidHost: http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ | 20:50 |
| Argorok | sskalnik, all ttys are "no signal"... | 20:50 |
| DroidHost | owenll, Thank You | 20:50 |
| sskalnik | Argorok: yikes, that is beyond my expertise then | 20:50 |
| greenit | Gentoo64, it is defined, but the error is still there | 20:51 |
| nzee | I m using a python virtualenv | 20:51 |
| Gentoo64 | greenit: not sure then, try the wine room maybe | 20:51 |

| mohadib | so you guestion if have i used gmail and had a website at the same time | 20:53 |

| nzee | sudo apt-get libjpeg-dev libpng-dev zlib1g-dev liblcms1-dev python-dev ? will this work schnuffle | 20:55 |
| mohadib | you can use a web based imap client like roundcube if you want | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | zhangn: you could make a server download your email and host it on your own server | 20:55 |
| schnuffle | nzee: sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libpng-dev zlib1g-dev liblcms1-dev python-dev | 20:55 |

| Bunie | Hey guys is there a package that will set up apache+php for me? | 20:56 |
| Bunie | i always had difficulties setting that up manually. | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | !lamp | Bunie | 20:56 |
| ubottu | Bunie: 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+) | 20:56 |
| nzee | is python-dev required too? schnuffle | 20:56 |
| Crossdiver | On ubuntu 11.10 server, the boot process is hanging at "Stopping system v runlevel compatibility" -- most of the guides that I read suggest that you install X11 and the GTK Greeter... but I do not want a GUI on this server... just the CLI. How do I get the server to boot all the way, but not install a GUI? Thanks... | 20:56 |
| Bunie | i thought it was called xamp? :P | 20:56 |
| schnuffle | nzee: yes for all packages that you install that have a module which is wrutten in C | 20:56 |
| sskalnik | zhangn: Go into the control panel of your domain name provider and change the A-record to point to your server. | 20:56 |
| zhangn | thank you so many replies. I am a bit new to ubuntu. so what exactly i need to do? | 20:57 |
| mohadib | this is not really ubuntu specifc question zhangn | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Bunie: X in Xamp means 'anything' L in Lamp means Linux, which you are using a distribution of | 20:57 |
| mohadib | the short answer is provide another client besides the gmail web client that you dont like | 20:57 |
| sskalnik | zhangn: You will need to set up your server to host the site, which is a project all its own. You will need to change the A record in the DNS to point to your server. | 20:58 |
| Argorok | sskalnik, no problems. Its just a new thing to learn :] | 20:58 |

| Argorok | (But live cd boots with right resolution without problems... 1680x1050) | 20:59 |
| mohadib | zhangn: you might try roundcube | 20:59 |
| mohadib | its a nice web based imap client | 20:59 |
| schnuffle | +1 for roundcube | 20:59 |
| zhangn | how the irc works? Can i add you as friend mohadib? | 20:59 |

| Agamemnus | ok | 21:13 |

| schnuffle | but as the others have already stated if it's a RedBook Audio Cd it's not mounted to play | 21:29 |
| tompickles | schnuffle: i want to use xbmc as a media centre. but, the play cd button doesn't work. apparently it's hardcoded to look at /dev/cdrom | 21:30 |
| tompickles | but.. is that where the cd is! | 21:30 |
| tompickles | like, howcome nautilious lists files on the cd? | 21:31 |
| tompickles | schnuffle: the /media mount point is a second hdd in http://pastebin.com/LE43K4qs | 21:31 |
| tompickles | i edited fstab for it to do that | 21:32 |

| Argorok | Again: I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 x86 on my desktop and when installation finishes and I restart the computer, after the grub menu my display get "no signal" message... Looks like some resolution that the native driver doesn't support or something like that. I tryed to set nomodeset on grub instead of quiet splash and didn't help... Can anyone help me to solve it? I can't even get terminals (ctrl+alt+f1) to install nvidia drivers (But live cd boots w | 21:32 |
| marel | When I go into BIOS there's boot option #1 and #2 however under boot option 1 there isn't my USB drive with ubuntu | 21:32 |
| acidfrost | also i'm having trouble with kde on my netbook i choose kde from gdm and then kde loads then the screen goes black but i can still use guake | 21:32 |

| horse1bun | is there a quieter channel for wireless cards, like #wireless? | 21:33 |

| Bunie | heard of it? Yes. Know what it is? No. :P | 21:33 |

| LupusSLE | Evening folks, seeking assistance regarding my recently-upgraded-to-natty Ubuntu server. Upon booting, I see the list of options on Grub but when it tries to boot any of them I'm getting this error: "error: symbol not found: 'grub_os_area_addr'" - I'm thinking it's to do with the software raid setup... I'm in recovery mode at the moment and update-grub is giving me this error: wrong # of devices in RAID set - suggestion | 21:34 |
| LupusSLE | s? | 21:34 |
| akash | everytime i try and run a command like this in the terminal:mkdir -pv $LFS | 21:34 |
| akash | i get permission denied | 21:34 |
| sskalnik | !sudo > akash | 21:35 |
| ubottu | akash, please see my private message | 21:35 |
| _jason | akash: usually because you don't have permission :) | 21:35 |
| akash | i know how would i gain it | 21:35 |
| akash | and im new to linux how do i see rivate messages | 21:35 |
| sskalnik | !sudo | akash | 21:35 |
| ubottu | akash: 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 | 21:35 |
| schnuffle | LupusSLE: Recover your Raid and the update grub? | 21:35 |
| marel | Can I launch Ubuntu install while I'm still in windows ? | 21:36 |
| sskalnik | marel: Nope. | 21:36 |
| akash | wait so id type in sudo? | 21:36 |
| evilkid | hey, im having wifi problems, can anyone help me? | 21:36 |
| Captin_Hook | yes through a virtual machine | 21:36 |
| LupusSLE | schnuffle: Could you be a little bit more specific please? | 21:36 |
| marel | What am I supposed to do than ? I can't get it to boost on computer launch ... ? | 21:36 |
| Bunie | akash: Type in Sudo before your command. as in "Sudo <Command here>" | 21:36 |
| tompickles | schnuffle: yeh, it is symlinked. | 21:37 |
| Bunie | marel: You likely need to go into your bios settings and configure your CD/USB to boot before your HDD | 21:37 |
| schnuffle | LupusSLE: When your system is running, is it an option to recover the raid first and then update grub? | 21:37 |
| akash | ok | 21:37 |
| akash | and i accendtly full screen the irc chat | 21:37 |
| akash | how would i minimize it | 21:37 |
| akash | or make it smaller :P | 21:37 |
| marel | Bunie: I tried it with 2 different USB's however there isnt such a choice as USB .. | 21:37 |
| LupusSLE | schnuffle: Where should I see this option? I'm getting nothing but the grub error when I try to boot. I'm on the Live CD recovery mood. Makes no mention of raid recovery | 21:38 |
| Bunie | marel: you've been in your bios settings, and theres no USB boot option? Your motherboard may not support USB Booting then | 21:38 |
| evilkid | ....so anyone? i have a wireless Sagem adapter, i installed the drivers, but it still dosnt work | 21:38 |
| schnuffle | tompickles: so to recapitulate: Your problem is that you want to use xmbc but xmbc is not recognizing your cdrom? | 21:38 |
| marel | Bunie: it's a brand new laptop, I highly doubt that it's not supported :\ | 21:38 |
| LupusSLE | As far as I'm aware, the RAID itself is fine. It's a software RAID_1, it's just grub having issues with it it would seem... | 21:38 |
| tompickles | schnuffle: exactly. in xmbc, the "play cd" option comes up in the menu when i insert a disk. but it doesn't play. | 21:39 |
| Bunie | marel: Your bios should have a list of boot options in order of 1 to 5 (or something similar) with options listed such as HDD, Disk Drive, USB, Ethernet, Etc. | 21:39 |
| schnuffle | LupusSLE: So what did happen and what did you do. Disk failed? Replaced it? ...... | 21:39 |
| Bunie | marel: You need to move USB and Disk Drive above HDD | 21:40 |
| Jordan_U | LupusSLE: Try changing the boot order in your BIOS. That error means that the grub mbr+core.img loaded by the BIOS doesn't match the modules in /boot/grub/, which means that one (/boot/grub/) was updated without updating the other. Hopefully your other drive's mbr+emdedded area was updated and you will then be able to boot. | 21:40 |
| dagerik | When I have my tv connected to pc through HDMI, the login screen shows on the tv, but as soon as I log in, the tv turns blue. How can I get this working? | 21:40 |
| grissom | what is the torrentleech channel ? | 21:40 |
| schnuffle | tompickles: I'm in no way an xmbc expert as I haven't used it yet. So I'll be of no help on that topic | 21:40 |
| Bunie | dagerik: have you checked your resolution settings? | 21:40 |
| Jordan_U | LupusSLE: Once booted, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and make sure that *both* drives are selected as install devices so that this doesn't happen again. | 21:40 |
| tompickles | schnuffle: thanks though! | 21:40 |
| sskalnik | Two of my serial ports are reporting "Device or resource busy" when I try to use them. I've rebooted; no change. lsof | grep tty doesn't show that either one of them is being used. Any ideas? | 21:41 |
| dagerik | Bunie: on the tv? | 21:41 |

| Bunie | dagerik: on your PC. | 21:41 |
| LupusSLE | Jordan_U, Theoretically... could this be a problem if I'm using an older version of grub on the livecd than is on natty? | 21:41 |
| Jordan_U | LupusSLE: No. | 21:41 |

| akash | sudo "mke2fs -jv /dev/<xxx>" | 21:42 |
| Bunie | dagerik: You cant set a resolution on it? | 21:43 |
| LupusSLE | Jordan_U, Thanks... I *think* I know how to do that... I'll get back to you in a moment | 21:43 |
| Jordan_U | LupusSLE: The difference is between the mbr+embedded area and the modules in /boot/grub/. A command like "grub-install /dev/sda" will ensure that the modules in /boot/grub/ match the mbr and embedded area of /dev/sda, but might leave an outdated mbr+embedded area in /dev/sdb for instance. | 21:43 |
| dagerik | Bunie: I can set resolution. But it still remains blue. | 21:43 |
| akash | akash@akash-Compaq-Presario-CQ50-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo "mke2fs -jv /dev/sda1" | 21:44 |

| Lordveda | I had a db5(docbook) file and I was using xmlto 0.0.23, it is now complaining of the absence of log4j logger | 21:50 |
| escott | dyd__, hfs+ is not supported in read-write mode with journaling enabled | 21:50 |
| Lordveda | I don't know anything about it. | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | LupusSLE: If you want to try to recover that way, yes. But I told you to try changing the boot order in the BIOS first. Either way should work as long as you get to where you can run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" from your installed system. So whichever is easiest for you. | 21:50 |

| escott | Agamemnus, md5sum sha1sum etc | 21:51 |
| dyd__ | escott, what filesystem is compatible with linux and mac? | 21:51 |
| Jordan_U | dyd__: Linux only supports writing for non journaled hfsplus. You'll probably need to use OSX to disable journaling. | 21:51 |
| joebobjoe | Why does Aptitude say "No packages will be installed" when I try to install something :( | 21:51 |
| escott | dyd__, FAT | 21:51 |

| acidfrost | if i had it installed i'd give you step by step instructions but this is a new machine | 22:00 |

| reapingwo | quick question: I am trying to cat | grep but the file is too large, how do I have cat make a new file on my desktop? | 22:00 |
| guntbert | joebobjoe: it seem we will have to move to apt-get anyway, there is a problem with multi-arch and aptitude | 22:00 |
| evilkid | auronandace it didnt work even without driver | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | LupusSLE: If /dev/sdb1 is only one member of your raid array then you shouldn't be trying to mount it. | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | reapingwo: cat > ~/Desktop/outfile.txt | 22:01 |
| acidfrost | evilkid, yeah see you can't just do that though it has to have some way of communicating out side of the virtual machine because all it sees inside is blackness | 22:01 |
| LupusSLE | Jordan_U, Of course... I'm being silly | 22:01 |
| guntbert | reapingwo: try grep "expression" file > newfile | 22:01 |

| joebobjoe | guntbert: Are you a maintainer? | 22:02 |
| reapingwo | ohh I see so it would look like this: cat /var/log/syslog | grep wlan1 > wlan1log | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | reapingwo: looks good, I'd use: grep -i too, case insensitive ;) | 22:03 |

| escott | peryson, there may be a gui somewhere but I would just use hdparm -S #seconds /dev/sda (check the man page on that but i believe its seconds) | 22:36 |
| shades | _jason: cause it asks for a whole bunch of dependancies and that machine isn't online so it can't download htem so I just downloaded the apache.tar.gz source file and compiled itmyself | 22:36 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:43 |
| escott | shades, you can make uninstall if you have the original build directory | 22:43 |
| _jason | shades: there are other alternatives to using synaptic. You have to read the software's documentation on how to undo a "make install". You may try "make uninstall" but that may or may not exist | 22:43 |
| shades | escott, oh really? | 22:43 |
| supasnashbuhl | shades: use checkinstall | 22:44 |
| zykotick9 | shades: in future, you might want to use checkinstall - see "/msg ubottu checkinstall" for details | 22:44 |

| cowslammer | I am running on a thumbdrive and need to mount my harddisk - what is the device name nd type? | 22:45 |
| shades | what else can I try? | 22:45 |
| escott | cowslammer, either /dev/sda or /dev/sdb most likely. open the disk utility and find the partition it will tell you the device | 22:46 |
| supasnashbuhl | shades: you can install checkinstall, then install it with checkinstall and remove it with apt-get remove afterwards | 22:46 |
| zykotick9 | shades: checkinstall will only help for the next time you manually install - it can't help with whatever you have installed right now. | 22:46 |
| supasnashbuhl | (install it again, because it will probably overwrite the files from make install but now has a record of all those files and they can be easily removed with apt-get remove | 22:47 |
| shades | oh 8 C | 22:47 |
| supasnashbuhl | shades: got it? | 22:47 |
| cowslammer | escott, i did that with fdisk -l but mount wants to know the device type | 22:47 |
| peryson | there is any command to write in terminal if I ever want to, to reset all ubuntu settings to default? Like the 1st time boot after installation? :P Or am I asking too much? :P | 22:47 |
| supasnashbuhl | cowslammer: why do you think so? If he does like i said, it should be removed without a problem | 22:48 |
| zykotick9 | peryson: if you create a new user - settings (not software though) will be reset to defaults | 22:48 |
| peryson | zykotick9, awesome. And then delete the other one. THANK YOU! | 22:48 |
| escott | cowslammer, usually mount can figure out the type. you shouldnt have to specify. what is the mount command you are using? | 22:48 |
| cowslammer | supasnashbuhl, i have no idea what u r talking about | 22:48 |
| shades | supasnashbuhl: so, install checkinstall, re make && make all, then run chckinstall ? | 22:49 |
| supasnashbuhl | shades: checkinstall will only help for the next time you manually install - it can't help with whatever you have installed right now. | 22:49 |
| supasnashbuhl | yess | 22:49 |
| supasnashbuhl | shades: that's right | 22:49 |
| Chotaz` | Why can't i access my external HDD on ubuntu LiveCD? It tells me I dont have permissions to view the contents? | 22:49 |
| escott | peryson, no such thing, but you can install stuff like etckeeper to keep /etc clean, or you could use a filesystem like btrfs that supports snapshots. but you dont want to go back to the initial install, you just want to undo the last thing you did so make good snapshots | 22:49 |
| supasnashbuhl | just dont "make install" but "checkinstall" | 22:50 |
| escott | peryson, rather backups | 22:50 |
| supasnashbuhl | with sudo | 22:50 |
| supasnashbuhl | and after all that do apt-get remove | 22:50 |
| supasnashbuhl | or even purge | 22:50 |

| supasnashbuhl | shades: ok.. what do you need synaptic for? Did removing the program work with checkinstall? | 22:59 |
| escott | cowslammer, the only thing I said was don't use the -t option, instead let mount figure out the type automatically. if thats not working send us your mount command | 22:59 |
| shades | supasnashbuhl: I haven't got that far yet, I as going to need synatpic to 'install it properly' | 22:59 |
| VCoolio | spyvsspy: check inittab in the wiki, there you point to startx, then use ~/.xinitrc to run openbox | 22:59 |
| supasnashbuhl | shades: i thought you were installing from source? | 23:00 |
| escott | spyvsspy, why not just run a display manager? thats what they are for | 23:00 |
| shades | supasnashbuhl: I was going to yes but someone else told me tha tI shouldn't do it that way | 23:00 |
| cowslammer | escott, mount wants a file type becauseit isn't in ftab | 23:00 |
| supasnashbuhl | shades: yeah but if it's installed already, it's a bad idea to install another version "on top of it" | 23:00 |
| supasnashbuhl | shades: best to get rid of your compiled version first. or things'll get even more messed up | 23:01 |
| escott | cowslammer, that usually not necessary. you have to be root when its not in fstab, but its rare that the type is required | 23:01 |

| shades | checkinstall checked httpd the last thing checkinstall told me was the new package has been savbed to /home/httpd-2.2.21/httpd_2.2.21-1-i386.deb and I can install it to dpkg -i httpd_2.2.21-1_i386.deb but you said I should uninstall something | 23:08 |
| toxo | /quit | 23:08 |
| supasnashbuhl | either you gave it a name or it just took the name of the directory it was run from (without any version numbers) | 23:08 |
| shades | supasnashbuhl: so I apt-get remove httpd_2.2.21-1_i386.deb? | 23:09 |
| supasnashbuhl | probably just httpd | 23:09 |
| blackshirt | no | 23:09 |
| supasnashbuhl | so just type apt-get remove httpd | 23:09 |
| shades | erm so it's just apt-get remove httpd? | 23:09 |
| supasnashbuhl | should be | 23:09 |
| shades | Virtual packages like 'httpd' can't be removed | 23:10 |
| supasnashbuhl | wtf | 23:10 |
| supasnashbuhl | virtual packages? anyone? | 23:10 |
| blackshirt | shades: why can't be removed ? | 23:10 |
| supasnashbuhl | try dpkg -r httpd_2.2.21-1_i386.deb | 23:11 |
| shades | blackshirt: http://pastebin.com/TWGsbHuD that | 23:11 |
| supasnashbuhl | ah it probably wasn't even installed. maybe checkinstall just made the package but didn't install it | 23:12 |
| pythonirc101 | when I scp a file from my home ubuntu box to my server in office, scp just hangs...any ideas what might be wrong? ssh goes thru without any problems. | 23:12 |

| pythonirc101 | can anyone tell me what is wrong with the "scp" -- http://pbin.be/show/344/ -- It gets stuck at 0%? | 23:16 |
| Bunie | Very quick question. on the task manager, whats the difference between RSS and VM-Size? | 23:21 |
| Rabenklaue | hi, because of several instabilities in Xorg/intel drivers I had to switch to xorg-edgers-ppa, but after yesterdays update I'm unable to use the my touchpad (mouse). In systemsettings I'm told there are no such devices and Xorg.log does not show anything regarding synaptics (in Kubuntu). | 23:22 |
| Rabenklaue | /etc/X11 has changed completely (no Xorg.conf) and several new directories. I do not have any clue how to solve this issue. | 23:22 |
| seekwill | Hi. Does 11.10 have a nice "migration" tool, similar to OSX Timemachine backup? So I can do a backup on my machine then restore it on another machine with somewhat different hardware (different size hdd) and all the apps and preferences will just work? | 23:22 |
| jlewis1 | Bunie, task manager? | 23:22 |
| Bunie | Yes the one that comes with ubuntu | 23:23 |
| jlewis1 | do you mean system monitor? | 23:23 |
| Bunie | no, but ive installed gnome, kde, etc. but thanks for this! I didnt know System Moniter existed! so much better then wherever my "Task Manager" came from lol | 23:24 |
| jlewis1 | oh | 23:24 |
| jlewis1 | yeah i didn't know what system monitor is | 23:25 |
| jlewis1 | er | 23:25 |
| jlewis1 | task manager | 23:25 |
| Bunie | it aparently came with one of the gui things :P i installed them all, so lol | 23:25 |
| jlewis1 | except in that other OS | 23:25 |
| Morgan_the_great | Is any one there | 23:30 |
| Bunie | No. | 23:30 |
| Morgan_the_great | OK | 23:30 |
| Bunie | lol | 23:30 |
| Bunie | Yes people are here, ask your question if you have one :D | 23:30 |
| ziga_ | hello | 23:31 |
| blackshirt | yeah, jusk ask your question | 23:31 |
| blackshirt | hello ziga | 23:31 |
| ziga_ | can anyone help me to restore grub | 23:31 |
| Bunie | Awh =/ i think i made him/her leave lol | 23:31 |
| ziga_ | i type sudo grub and my system cant find the program.... | 23:31 |
| elisa87 | I receive the following error when creating a user : psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | !grub2 | ziga_ | 23:32 |
| ubottu | ziga_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 23:32 |
| labcoattech | hi all | 23:33 |
| labcoattech | does anyone know how to move the launcher dock to the bottom of the screen | 23:34 |
| pythonirc101 | Anyone knows why my scp is getting stuck -- http://pbin.be/show/344/ -- It gets stuck at 0%? | 23:34 |
| ziga_ | oh god this tutorial is useless i get error at first command | 23:35 |
| jlewis1 | labcoattech | 23:37 |
| ziga_ | where is grub located in Xubuntu 11.10???????? | 23:37 |
| jlewis1 | I believe if you install compizconfig settings manager there is a section for Unity that may have it | 23:38 |
| jlewis1 | i'm reinstalling it now and then i'll check | 23:38 |
| labcoattech | thanks will have a look | 23:38 |
| jlewis1 | well i couldn't install it | 23:38 |
| escott | !clone | seekwill you might want to also use etckeeper | 23:38 |
| ubottu | seekwill you might want to also use etckeeper: 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 | 23:38 |
| jlewis1 | since everything on my system is broken | 23:38 |
| glen_ | hey guys | 23:39 |
| escott | Rabenklaue, there is no Xorg.conf on most systems (nvidia is the one exception) | 23:39 |
| seekwill | escott: Oh cool. Will that do preferences too? Like background images, moving my home dir? etc? | 23:39 |
| glen_ | hihi | 23:40 |
| glen_ | hihihihihihihihihi | 23:40 |
| escott | seekwill, for that you should backup your home. but almost everything falls in one of three categories system config in /etc system packages see !clone and your home directory private directories ~/.config and the like | 23:41 |
| glen_ | hi escott | 23:41 |
| seekwill | escott: I <3 Time Machine :) Just wondering if there was something similar. I think in my case, reinstalling is easy enough. I'm actually just changing harddrives (to something smaller), but was hoping to see a nice TM replacement | 23:42 |
| escott | seekwill, in terms of backing up files efficiently with dedup most everything is based off of rsync with hardlinks | 23:42 |
| escott | !backup | seekwill | 23:42 |
| ubottu | seekwill: 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 | 23:42 |
| Rabenklaue | escott: Ah thanks, but it seems, that the edgers have missed to update the synaptics package. It's still 1.5.99 whereas xserver-xorg-input-mouse is 1.7.1 - I hope there updating it the next hours, as there are some modifications in the xorg-edgers ppa right now. Sorry for the noise. | 23:43 |
| seekwill | escott: Cool, I'll read up on those. Thanks! | 23:43 |

| marel | Can I install Ubuntu without internet connection ? | 23:44 |
| ikonia | marel: yes | 23:44 |
| aarcane_ | is there a "proper" way to use vmbuilder on natty to build an oneiric VM ? | 23:44 |
| ikonia | aarcane_: nothing specific no | 23:45 |
| pythonirc101 | my ubuntu client can not scp anything to my server. Even my windows box can copy things to the server. SCP stalls. I've only eth1 on the machine. Is it possible that scp is looking for eth0? | 23:45 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: doubtful | 23:45 |
| marel | Is it possible to change MAC adress in Ubuntu without internet connection ? Because I tried googling and everywhere they use apt-get | 23:45 |
| aarcane_ | ikonia, insofar as you know, is there an updated vmbuilder package for natty that includes the profile for oneiric, or must it be added manually ? | 23:45 |
| escott | pythonirc101, there isnt any sort of quota issue? | 23:46 |
| willwork4foo | pythonirc101: can your hosts resolve each others names on the network | 23:46 |
| c_smith | is there any way to temporarily disable a Synaptics Touchpad? | 23:46 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: it's more likley to be a miss-configured network card speed/duplex on your client | 23:46 |
| ikonia | aarcane_: not for natty no | 23:46 |
| willwork4foo | Scp / ssh uses reverse lookup when initiating a connection by default | 23:46 |
| c_smith | mine has a small button that does nothing but change colors. | 23:46 |
| escott | marel, you need the package, but if you can get the .deb without an internet connection then yest | 23:46 |
| ikonia | willwork4foo: it's stalling - not failing to start | 23:46 |
| gmachine_24 | c_smith, I can disable mine but it is a hardware fix - i.e. there is a button on my laptop to push to disable the touchpad | 23:46 |
| marel | escott: is there any way to do this without the package ? | 23:47 |
| escott | marel, not easily | 23:47 |

| gmachine_24 | Anyone know of a way to copy a DL DVD to two 4.7GB DVDs? | 23:47 |
| c_smith | gmachine_24, yeah, the button for mine does nothing but change a light to red, doesn't lock the touchpad. | 23:47 |
| marel | escott: Ah :\ I guess I will have to wait for the morning and contact my ISP | 23:47 |
| gmachine_24 | c_smith, what kind of laptop? | 23:48 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: willwork4foo: escott: here is the pastebin from strace: http://pbin.be/show/345/ -- gets stuck at read?? | 23:48 |

| gmachine_24 | c_smith, sorry, I don't know. It always works on mine. | 23:49 |
| c_smith | ok | 23:49 |
| willwork4foo | pythonirc101: weirdest thing I've seen so far this year | 23:49 |
| ikonia | not really, most likley a missconfigured network card | 23:50 |
| ikonia | as ssh does a crc check, if there are packets being dropped it will stall | 23:50 |
| willwork4foo | This year only 3 days old. Spent first two days recovering from hangover. Many weird things seen, most not real. | 23:50 |
| ziga_ | i run sudo grub i get an error it says it cant find grub | 23:51 |
| Oer | marel, maybe this page is any help >> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ | 23:51 |
| ziga_ | i tried to find grub on my disk no sucess | 23:51 |
| c_smith | gmachine_24, is it possible that this problem is a bug? | 23:51 |
| ziga_ | i tried sudo /sbin/grub and no sucess | 23:51 |
| willwork4foo | ikonia: my thoughts also ran to a duplex misconfiguration | 23:51 |
| ziga_ | where the hell is this grub program???? | 23:51 |

| === adrian is now known as Guest84922 | ||
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: is there a way to troubleshoot the card? | 23:52 |
| willwork4foo | Ok. New one on me... I thought you had to manually bugger up duplex settings | 23:52 |
| willwork4foo | pythonirc101: what does ndd tell you about the card | 23:52 |
| ikonia | willwork4foo: ndd is a solaris command for kernel drivers | 23:52 |
| willwork4foo | (is it ndd?) I'm tired | 23:52 |
| willwork4foo | Aw rats. Solaris brain interfering with Linux things | 23:53 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: use "ethtool" to check the speed and duplx of the card and make sure it's the same as your network should be running at | 23:53 |
| willwork4foo | If you were running Solaris, that | 23:53 |
| ziga_ | Eh linux is fcked up ... they offer too many tutorials on restoring grub 2 and among 5 i tried none worked ... this is crap BYE | 23:53 |
| willwork4foo | That'd be useful | 23:53 |
| pythonirc101 | ifconfig -- http://pbin.be/show/346/ | 23:53 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: no, not ifconfig | 23:54 |
| willwork4foo | That's no use, it only shows Tcp layer stuff. Need to know link layer | 23:54 |
| willwork4foo | First hit in google - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-ethernet-network-card-speed-and-duplex-settings-in-ubuntu.html | 23:55 |
| ikonia | I've told you, it's "ethtool" | 23:55 |
| pythonirc101 | ethtool -- http://pbin.be/show/347/ | 23:55 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: showing us the output isn't useful, you need to check the output to see if it matches your network | 23:56 |
| wolfric | how would i stop the window coming up when i insert a new drive? | 23:56 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: ethtool is supposed to give much more info that what I pasted... | 23:57 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: yes lots more | 23:57 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: use sudo | 23:57 |
| pythonirc101 | its sudo | 23:57 |
| pythonirc101 | no idea what's wrong | 23:57 |
| willwork4foo | What network card are you using pythonirc101 | 23:58 |
| pythonirc101 | and I just installed ethtool on ubuntu 11.10 | 23:58 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: show me the output of "uname -a" please. | 23:58 |
| pythonirc101 | My ubuntu is running inside virtual machine (vbox) -- network card = PCnet-PCI II (Am79C970A) | 23:58 |
