| html | Iceheart, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Keyring | 01:20 |
| hateb | swap total: 6134, used: 1 haha overkill | 01:20 |
| Iceheart | gnome_keyring is running after I suspend | 01:20 |
| almoxarife | speaking of gnome-keyring, its in the auto-run config screen, would some one copy paste the command line here please? | 01:20 |
| dr_willis | ive noticed it saying 'used: 1' befor... which is odd . | 01:20 |
| cheapie | hateb: The family computer here has 32GB swap... | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | no matter what i was running.. 1 was used.. | 01:21 |
| hateb | I coubt you ever need it :) | 01:21 |
| dr_willis | Rounding up perhaps. | 01:21 |
| hateb | doubt* | 01:21 |
| smokycat | aBound: I think find / -name "signal.h" will work with using enormous time. use locate will better. | 01:21 |
| Iceheart | Did the keyring change between 11.04 and 11.10? Because this did not occour until after upgrading to 11.10. | 01:22 |
| almoxarife | Iceheart: who are allowed to use your wireless? anyone? or you only and do you login or auto log? | 01:22 |
| joy | wow | 01:22 |
| aBound | smokycat, No doubt that worked but looks like locate is easier. Interesting. | 01:22 |
| Iceheart | I am allowed to use my wireless, only those I give the password too are allowed to use it. | 01:22 |
| Iceheart | I manually log in with a password. | 01:22 |
| wireless | Ugh. Airbase-ng is having a bug where it goes to channel 255 and wont change. Its a bug in the newer kernels. I have no idea how to sersolve this issue. Any ideas? | 01:23 |
| html | tony_ just like you do in windows 7 ,, if there a singal your picking up then its on if you conneted then you on the net,, but if you see no wifi names that show up then its not on | 01:23 |
| StepNjump | Could someone tell me what permission you show on file .thunderbird/1z695qsl.default/panacea thank you | 01:23 |
| aBound | eBooks to the rescue. | 01:24 |
| Iceheart | I also have it set to connect automatically in my network settings. | 01:25 |
| wireless | Will virtualbox properly virtualize my usb wireless adapter and my builtin wireless card? I know in the past when I'v used it, it turn wireless into ethernet, which is not what I want. THANKS | 01:25 |
| html | tony_ ? | 01:26 |
| almoxarife | Iceheart: there is a log file for suspend, look at it for anything odd, pm-suspend.log in /var/log/ | 01:26 |
| almoxarife | wireless: you get to chose the connection type, eth or wlan , that choice just chose your hardware | 01:28 |
| wireless | almoxarife: is it possible to have my builtin wireless card connected as eth, and my usb wireless card connected as wlan at the SAME time>> | 01:29 |
| wireless | ? | 01:29 |
| wireless | through virtualbox that is | 01:29 |
| wireless | Or, is there a better virtualization program that handles networking? | 01:30 |
| almoxarife | wireless: possible? anything is possible, you need to ask the #virtualbox world though | 01:30 |
| Iceheart | Says "having network manager wake interfaces back up...failed. | 01:30 |

| wireless | how do I find out my current wireless drivers in the terminal? | 01:30 |
| Iceheart | Only thing I found. | 01:30 |
| aBound | wireless, Open a terminal and type: lspci | grep Network | 01:32 |
| aBound | Oops, wireless drivers. | 01:32 |
| aBound | Blah! my mistake. | 01:32 |
| WhiteOwl-m | and report your card, personal interest xD | 01:32 |
| wireless | thanks aBound | 01:32 |
| aBound | wireless, My mistake it only finds the Network controller in-use. The drivers I can't say if it'll find. | 01:33 |
| balt11t | my flashdrive boots on all of my computers, except for the one I need it to. When I select the USB device, it says that no bios is found, but I know it works, because I tested it on other computers | 01:33 |
| wireless | aBound that only shows wlan0 not wlan1 | 01:33 |
| almoxarife | wireless: thats because wlan1 is usb | 01:33 |
| wireless | o | 01:33 |
| almoxarife | wireless: your words | 01:34 |
| wireless | how do I show the drivers for the wlan1 usb? | 01:34 |
| wireless | it is | 01:34 |
| aBound | wireless, You could just type: lspci | 01:34 |
| almoxarife | wireless: do you look anything up yourself? | 01:34 |
| aBound | To see what it contains. | 01:34 |
| wireless | I have looked it up but getting only ways to show wlan0 | 01:34 |
| almoxarife | wireless: tried looking at the various forms of 'ls........'?? could one be lsusb? | 01:36 |
| wireless | I'm still not seeing it by just lspci by the way | 01:36 |
| aBound | wireless, lshw -C network | 01:36 |
| wireless | thanks aBound | 01:36 |
| aBound | Try that. | 01:36 |
| balt11t | no ideas then? | 01:37 |
| almoxarife | wireless: or you could use 'lsusb' bet you find your wlan1 | 01:37 |
| wireless | that worked thanks | 01:38 |

| almoxarife | wingnut2626a: oh, how about blanking the password ? | 01:44 |
| wingnut2626a | Tried that too | 01:44 |
| almoxarife | wingnut2626a: tried calling support? | 01:44 |
| html | almoxarife, for what? he wanted a wifi card that plays well with linux ,,, but hes g2g ,,, so well doin this later | 01:44 |
| wingnut2626a | They told me to blank it which I did | 01:44 |

| hass | I have a weird problem with my Ubuntu installation. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. | 01:47 |
| hass | It seems that Nautilus is running as root | 01:47 |
| wingnut2626a | Yeah #ubuntu | 01:47 |
| xangua | hass: like in: it seems you are running nautilus as root¿¿ | 01:47 |
| hass | the root desktop is shown | 01:48 |
| xangua | hass: how did you¿ because it can't happen on it's own ;) | 01:48 |
| hass | when I open my home folder the icon is the standard folder icon instead of the little house icon | 01:48 |
| hass | I'm sure I did something, but I can't figure out what I did | 01:48 |
| hass | it has been this way for a while | 01:48 |
| hass | also I have been having permission problems. If I copy a file in Nautilus it sets the owner to root | 01:49 |
| almoxarife | hass: if you were asked for a password to start nautilus then i can see you being in root, or you are in the root account to begin with, otherwise no, it would not | 01:49 |
| hass | it does not ask for a password when I start the computer | 01:50 |
| almoxarife | hass: permission problems related to you playing with sudo/su/gksu etc? | 01:50 |

| almoxarife | hass: yes, more like | 01:50 |
| hass | when I open nautilus it asks for a password, even when I open my home folder | 01:51 |
| almoxarife | hass: that would do it | 01:51 |
| hass | but why is the root desktop displayed? And why is it opening my home folder as root? | 01:51 |

| Arcademan | aBound, it be lubuntu-desktop even then it leaves it all there | 02:07 |

| almoxarife | NotJimCarrey: did you make conf changes anywhere? | 02:12 |
| pangolin | soloquiem: put in the cd of whatever you want to install instead of ubuntu | 02:12 |

| AlbireoX | Hi, is there a term for the design pattern of passing arguments to static methods for the static methods to do stuff? (Not factory as it doesn't create anything or singleton because it isn't an object) | 02:14 |
| pangolin | soloquiem: when you boot your computer it should tell you what key to press to get into SETUP. | 02:14 |
| anynickname | soloquiem: when you boot your computer, try one of the F's (F2, F8 or F11 should Work), or Esc | 02:14 |
| NotJimCarrey | restored original default.pa, but still the same error | 02:15 |
| anynickname | soloquiem: or as pangolin said, it should appear when you boot, but it's usually one of those | 02:15 |
| almoxarife | NotJimCarrey: make a copy of the files you made changes to, save them in your home folder, and re-install 'pulseaudio' , you can save the files and remove pulseaudio before reboot, but install pulseaudio after reboot, got it? | 02:15 |
| soloquiem | anynickname: I will try that | 02:15 |
| anynickname | soloquiem: when you're in the BIOS settings, it's easy, just go to "boot order", and change it there | 02:15 |
| kieppie | hi all. I'm having trouble getting MPD to push ASLA audio out through my secondary sound card. SLSA to XBMC on my primary (HDMI) works fine | 02:17 |
| soloquiem | anynickname: is the number key specific for ubuntu, or the computer I'm using? | 02:17 |
| anynickname | soloquiem: the computer | 02:18 |
| almoxarife | kieppie: ask in #xbmc , someone will assist | 02:18 |
| anynickname | soloquiem: but as pangolin pointed out, it should appear when you boot (usually does, although I've seen cases where it doesn't, or it's just to fast) | 02:19 |
| kieppie | almoxarife: my XBMC setup is OK in that regard, so my query's not really relevant there (alshough I have IR keymapping under kernel 3.0.x that I'm trying to work through0 | 02:19 |
| almoxarife | kieppie: suit yourself | 02:19 |
| soloquiem | anynickname: haven't seen it, restarting a couple times now | 02:19 |
| kieppie | almoxarife: I'm already in the #XBMC channel.. | 02:20 |
| almoxarife | kieppie: me too | 02:20 |
| anynickname | soloquiem: if I does not tell you which key it is, just try Esc and all of the function keys | 02:20 |
| anynickname | soloquiem: you can even try them all on the same boot, it should work too | 02:20 |
| soloquiem | anynickname: that worked, thanks | 02:22 |

| anynickname | hateb: it's turn-based, and incredibly complex | 02:23 |
| almoxarife | MagusOTB: thought of trying something else? | 02:24 |
| almoxarife | !ot | hateb | 02:24 |
| ubottu | hateb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:24 |
| anynickname | hateb: oh, and it's free, which is always a plus | 02:24 |
| hateb | I see, but graphic is from commodore age :) | 02:25 |
| MagusOTB | almoxarife: I do use something else (audacious), but I think defaulting to banshee is a bug. Nobody I know thinks it makes any sense. | 02:25 |
| almoxarife | MagusOTB: having issues with audicious? | 02:25 |
| MagusOTB | It's the only program I've ever used with a failure mode of "Blast metal music" | 02:25 |
| NotJimCarrey | ok, there's pulseaudio, alsa, oss, esound. any others? | 02:26 |
| anynickname | hajhouse: video for battle for wesnoth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIt69vznegs&feature=player_embedded | 02:26 |
| NotJimCarrey | gonna rebuild my audio section from scratch | 02:26 |
| MagusOTB | No, audacious is great, but my DE is all messed up so I'm using the standard ubuntu session, which has banshee, and it is behaving really strangely | 02:27 |
| NotJimCarrey | purging them, reinstalling, then getting it to work | 02:27 |

| faggot | Your distro sucks and you`ll be finished soon | 02:30 |
| aeon-ltd | faggot: he heheheheheheh | 02:30 |
| faggot | Happy downtime :) | 02:30 |
| aeon-ltd | heheh heheheh | 02:30 |
| iggymydog | unity? | 02:30 |
| urlin2u | faggot, k jimmy | 02:30 |
| iggymydog | whats unity? | 02:30 |
| MagusOTB | well, I do have it, it's in my rommate's folder on our fileserver. The question is why does it seemingly arbitrarily believe that it's finished the play queue and move on to that? | 02:30 |
| aeon-ltd | iggymydog: the default gui on ubuntu | 02:30 |
| iggymydog | how do i change it? | 02:30 |
| MagusOTB | Also, I find it annoying that there's no intuitive way to play an audio CD | 02:30 |
| iggymydog | how do i change it | 02:30 |
| leontopod | Unity is the new graphical interface for Ubuntu, it is meant to run on pads and cellphones | 02:31 |
| MagusOTB | if I select all the somgs, I can't drag them to the play queue, if I start with the first song, it skips to the play queue after that, if I select all the songs and right click and hit play, it only plays the one I right clicked on | 02:31 |
| iggymydog | so its quick | 02:31 |
| aeon-ltd | iggymydog: firstly install another Desktop Environment (for future ref 'DE') like xfce (xubuntu) lxde (lubuntu) | 02:31 |
| iggymydog | ummm.... | 02:31 |
| aeon-ltd | iggymydog: the specifications would be nice to know | 02:31 |
| iggymydog | im a noob | 02:31 |
| MagusOTB | iggymydog: select another session when you login. After you type your username, hit the little gear thing | 02:31 |
| Rallias | is there an sh script in ubuntu to mass rename files? | 02:32 |
| MagusOTB | and select 'ubuntu classic' | 02:32 |
| Oer | iggymydog, how much ram is in that old dell ? | 02:32 |
| aeon-ltd | iggymydog: do you know how to use terminal? | 02:32 |
| iggymydog | the ram is maxxed | 02:32 |
| aeon-ltd | ... | 02:32 |
| NotJimCarrey | if i'm redoing the whole sound section from start, do i need to remove gstreamer too? | 02:32 |
| almoxarife | maxed at ?(insert number) | 02:32 |
| iggymydog | im on my mac right now | 02:32 |
| MagusOTB | aeon-ltd: he doesn't need to know how to use a term to use the old DE | 02:32 |
| iggymydog | yes i know how to use term | 02:33 |
| aeon-ltd | MagusOTB: depending on the amount of ram that may not be much faster/lighter | 02:33 |
| iggymydog | so i click switch users? | 02:33 |
| aeon-ltd | MagusOTB: but yeah couldn't hurt to try first | 02:33 |

| iggymydog | yepp here it is | 02:42 |
| magusOTB | I don't remember exactly what it looks like | 02:42 |
| iggymydog | desktop eddition | 02:42 |

| iggymydog | user defined session | 02:42 |

| magusOTB | wait, what? | 02:43 |
| iggymydog | its a drop down menue | 02:43 |
| magusOTB | yeah, it doesn't have the classic option? | 02:43 |
| iggymydog | no | 02:43 |
| karmicthreat_TGG | So I'm having a grub 1.99 problem I need the machine to auto boot but it gets stuck waiting for me to hit enter. I've tried a bunch of stuff including manually setting timeout in 00_header. | 02:43 |
| magusOTB | iggymydog: Strange... I'm not sure what package it's in, You could look into installing XFCE, it's designed to be fast | 02:43 |
| magusOTB | and resource light | 02:44 |
| iggymydog | deskyop eddition | 02:44 |
| iggymydog | but not classic | 02:44 |
| iggymydog | ok | 02:44 |
| iggymydog | is that in the app get? | 02:44 |
| magusOTB | should be | 02:44 |
| iggymydog | kk leeme log in ill look | 02:44 |
| iggymydog | ??!?! a hard disk may be failing | 02:45 |
| iggymydog | hard disk fail immenent | 02:45 |
| magusOTB | O_o | 02:45 |
| iggymydog | ok...thats cool | 02:45 |
| iggymydog | eny ways....im at app get...i mean software center | 02:46 |
| iggymydog | now what? | 02:46 |
| Oer | karmicthreat_TGG, put a # before #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 | 02:46 |
| magusOTB | I think you want xubuntu-desktop | 02:46 |
| iggymydog | thattl do what exactely? | 02:47 |
| jameslordhz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/801307/ | 02:47 |
| jameslordhz | how to know which command the package libqt4-sql-mysql installed? | 02:47 |
| magusOTB | iggymydog: Install all the XFCE stuff, which should give you an xubuntu/sfce option in that dialog when you log in | 02:47 |
| magusOTB | which will be faster and less resource heavy | 02:48 |
| magusOTB | assuming that's still why you want to change from the new one. | 02:48 |
| iggymydog | thats alot of stuff..... | 02:48 |
| magusOTB | if you dislike it you can apt-get uninstall xubuntu-desktop | 02:48 |
| magusOTB | and then apt-get autoremove | 02:49 |
| magusOTB | and it will clean up the mess | 02:49 |
| karmicthreat_TGG | 0er: having a brain fart, whats the cmd to rebuild the cfg after I edit default/grub | 02:49 |
| aBound | apt-get autoclean | 02:49 |
| aBound | :P | 02:49 |
| urlin2u | magusOTB, that will not clean out the desktop. | 02:49 |
| aBound | update-grub | 02:49 |
| xangua | magusOTB: it wont, xubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage | 02:49 |
| iggymydog | theres 109 items | 02:50 |
| iggymydog | which ones do i do? | 02:50 |
| iggymydog | all? | 02:50 |
| magusOTB | It works on other metapackages, are the *-desktop ones special? | 02:50 |
| iggymydog | and this will speed it up for sure? | 02:50 |
| almoxarife | magusOTB: yes | 02:50 |
| aBound | karmicthreat_TGG, update-grub | 02:50 |
| almoxarife | iggymydog: its time you tag the nick you are talking to | 02:51 |
| iggymydog | how? | 02:51 |
| magusOTB | almoxarife: So how do you clean them out? | 02:51 |
| urlin2u | iggymydog, how much memory do you have? | 02:51 |
| iggymydog | ive never used an irc | 02:51 |
| sgo11 | I found the answer by myself. awn settings stored in gconf. very stupid. why does it want to do that? so hard for user backup. | 02:51 |
| iggymydog | i have 32 gigs | 02:51 |
| magusOTB | iggymydog: of RAM? | 02:52 |
| urlin2u | iggymydog, memory s ram how much | 02:52 |

| oooaaaooo | hi guys i have a samsung nc110 netbook running 11.04 and its been running quite "warm"(58C) idle; googling has led me to believe that the fix is to enable pcie_aspm(some kinda power saving mode). Before I edit grub i was wondering if anyone has done this before and had some comments on it? | 02:56 |
| iggymydog | how do i payste? | 02:56 |
| iggymydog | it wont let me | 02:56 |
| almoxarife | !who | iggymydog | 02:57 |
| ubottu | iggymydog: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:57 |
| oooaaaooo | hold down both mouse buttons | 02:57 |
| magusOTB | iggymydog: right click in the term, it should paste. | 02:57 |
| magusOTB | or just type it in. | 02:57 |
| NotJimCarrey | ok, i got aplay to play on 0,9, and added "load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,9" to /etc/pulse/default.pa, but can't get xbmc to play audio | 02:57 |

| iggymydog1 | k now what? | 02:58 |
| oooaaaooo | does anyone have any experience with enabling pcie_aspm? | 02:58 |
| magusOTB | what? | 02:58 |
| magusOTB | iggymydog: That output didn't make any sense, did it come from the command I gave you? | 02:58 |
| almoxarife | NotJimCarrey: ask in #xbmc | 02:58 |
| NotJimCarrey | just did | 02:58 |
| iggymydog1 | magusOTB: yes | 02:58 |
| iggymydog1 | magusOTB: mabey i should try again? | 02:59 |
| magusOTB | iggymydog1: Try just cat /proc/meminfo, and one of the lines of output should be the total memory you have | 02:59 |

| snufft | whenever i try the passwd username, it gives me the list of options, because my username has a space in it | 03:00 |
| magusOTB | ok | 03:00 |
| snufft | anynickname: hi :) | 03:00 |
| armada | iggymydog1: lawl, there's free -m for that. | 03:00 |
| iggymydog1 | ????? | 03:00 |
| HeGuru | snufft: passwd "username" | 03:00 |
| snufft | HeGuru: then it tells me that there's no username like that | 03:01 |
| HeGuru | snufft: or, passwd user\ name (replace space with \ ) | 03:01 |
| snufft | user does not exist | 03:01 |
| iggymydog1 | armada: what do you mean -m | 03:01 |
| html | snufft, next time you shuould of had a second account , then you can reset it from there | 03:01 |
| iggymydog1 | armada: ? | 03:02 |
| SolarNRG | This is my gf in the bath with one of her new blue bath bombs and it fizzes and turns the bath blue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OxvtYVsLRw | 03:02 |
| HeGuru | snufft: are you sure your username, try: getent passwd | 03:02 |
| snufft | hmmm, maybe i've got the username wrong... will reboot and try again :) | 03:02 |
| HeGuru | snufft: that should give you all the users | 03:02 |
| magusOTB | iggymydog1: It's another way of getting the information from meminfo that's cleaner than actually catting meminfo, but I didn't know about it. | 03:02 |
| armada | iggymydog1: free -m | 03:02 |
| snufft | HeGuru: even root? | 03:02 |

| HeGuru | snufft: Ctrl+PGUP | 03:03 |
| snufft | thanks :) | 03:03 |
| iggymydog1 | how do i allow more memmory for ram? | 03:03 |
| iggymydog1 | or something like that | 03:03 |
| magusOTB | iggymydog1: Yeah, you should probably be using xfce or something light. However, apparently the desktop packages don't behave like things I"m used to, so somebody ese will have to help with getting it going | 03:03 |
| HeGuru | snufft: sorry its shift+PGUP | 03:04 |
| magusOTB | iggymydog1: in order to get more RAM you have to get more RAM... like, the actual thing. | 03:04 |
| Grymmoire | So the terminal program doesn't show up in the launcher when I run it nor is it available as a window I can alt-tab to, and once I minimize the window I can't get at it anymore, since it's not in the launcher or a tab | 03:04 |
| iggymydog1 | dam ... | 03:04 |
| oooaaaooo | hold down both mouse buttons | 03:04 |
| iggymydog1 | ok | 03:04 |
| oooaaaooo | oops | 03:04 |
| oooaaaooo | does anyone have any experience with enabling pcie_aspm? | 03:04 |
| iggymydog1 | well i give up | 03:04 |
| HeGuru | snufft: you can always use getent passwd | more | 03:04 |
| Grymmoire | Makes it a bit more annoying to use the terminal, and by a little I mean a lot | 03:04 |
| snufft | html, HeGuru: thank you both very much, I think it's worked :) | 03:05 |
| iggymydog1 | thanks bye guys | 03:05 |
| Grymmoire | Is there any way to restore the application to its original state or something? Reset system setting associated with it, etc. | 03:05 |
| urlin2u | iggymydog, 512 ram rather small ...increased by buying ram sticks. Yiu can probably run lubuntu fairly well it is the ubuntu base with another desktop. | 03:05 |
| xangua | Grymmoire: you can reset unity setings: unity --reset | 03:05 |
| HeGuru | Grymmoire: depends on the application, what application? | 03:05 |
| Grymmoire | gnome terminal | 03:05 |
| HeGuru | Grymmoire: you can use gconf-editor to erase gnome-terminal customizations | 03:07 |

| Grymmoire | HeGuru, using gconf-editor to reset all the configurations didn't fix the problem, the terminal still isn't being recognized as something that I should be able to alt-tab to or have in the launcher... | 03:28 |
| HeGuru | Grymmoire: that might not be due to gnome-terminal settings but due to window manager settings | 03:29 |
| Grymmoire | How do I change those? | 03:30 |
| Grymmoire | (Still new to ubuntu, just installed it the other day) | 03:30 |

| anynickname | foxhoundz: because it's made by awesome people | 03:31 |
| Grymmoire | Does anyone here know how to change window manager settings | 03:31 |
| Grymmoire | HeGuru, well I know what started the problem | 03:31 |
| LinuxRules | I meant why is it insecure? | 03:31 |
| HeGuru | LinuxRules: whats wrong with /home 755? What makes you think that insecure? | 03:32 |
| Grymmoire | I put the terminal in the launcher by default but then took it out right after, and then I started having these issues with the terminal | 03:32 |
| LinuxRules | heguru do you know file permissions? | 03:32 |
| HeGuru | LinuxRules: yes I do | 03:32 |
| LinuxRules | so read access for anyone is good? | 03:32 |
| HeGuru | LinuxRules: you need r and x on directories to be able to enter the folders | 03:33 |
| LinuxRules | yea thats what 755 grants | 03:33 |
| Grymmoire | Hm | 03:33 |
| MrKeuner | reading a directory means reading the list of files and directories in it | 03:34 |
| anynickname | LinuxRules: you can have read access for all on /home, but your /home/username be accessible only to you, I believe | 03:34 |
| LinuxRules | read access on /home for groups and other is not secure | 03:34 |
| LinuxRules | I am meaning /home/* | 03:35 |
| MrKeuner | anynickname, each directory has its own read permissions | 03:35 |
| === gcunha__ is now known as GuilhermeCunha | ||
| LinuxRules | 755 is not safe | 03:35 |
| LinuxRules | not exploitable but can give enough away to make it exploitable | 03:36 |
| MrKeuner | 755 for /home is not a problem, 755 for user's home is a problem | 03:36 |
| anynickname | MrKeuner: right, that's where I was getting at, so it can not be a big deal, depending how one has the rest of the system set up | 03:36 |
| Nate_ | Quick question: | 03:36 |
| html | Grymmoire, Grymmoire> "Does anyone here know how to change window manager settings" FOR what ? 10.04 kubuntu ? lubuntu?? | 03:36 |
| urlin2u | LinuxRules, this is a support channel nopt your personal opinion forum. | 03:36 |
| urlin2u | not | 03:36 |
| LinuxRules | mrkeuner thats what Im talking about and corrected /home with /home/* | 03:37 |
| Grymmoire | html, ubuntu, Unity | 03:37 |
| Nate_ | Is there a way to dump the entire contents of my HDD onto a USB stick using the command line from GRUB? | 03:37 |
| sonanbulof | dd | 03:37 |
| Grymmoire | I think it's like 11.10 | 03:37 |
| LinuxRules | urlin2u understood , was just bringing it up in the main place it could get seen | 03:37 |
| Grymmoire | The version of ubuntu that I'm using I mean | 03:37 |
| MrKeuner | however user's home directory must be readable for public_html to work | 03:38 |
| LinuxRules | mrkeuner on servers yeah but not desktops | 03:38 |
| Tony_ | i can see the wireless networks bu i cant connect to them, any ideas | 03:38 |
| HeGuru | LinuxRules: agreed, and this has been mentioned ubuntu guides with instructions to change this behaviour (have user readable only home folders) | 03:38 |
| MrKeuner | LinuxRules, on desktops too if you ahve a webserver on the desktop | 03:38 |
| anynickname | 755 is rwxr-xr-x, right? | 03:40 |
| LinuxRules | mrkeuner wether apache or any servers are installed 755 is default on users /home | 03:40 |
| MrKeuner | anynickname, correct | 03:40 |
| anynickname | than OSX uses that same configuration | 03:40 |
| MrKeuner | anynickname, 4 for read 2 for write 1 for execute | 03:40 |
| MrKeuner | anynickname, it's posix convetion | 03:40 |
| anynickname | right, and it's owner,group,everyone, in that order, right? | 03:41 |
| MrKeuner | yes | 03:41 |
| anynickname | (haven't used linux, for a while) | 03:41 |
| almoxarife | someone care to share the default 'keyring' command line shown in their 'startup-apps' ? thnks | 03:41 |
| html | Grymmoire, ohh so if i was asumming something else then i would not be as much help since i know little ,from what litte details you told me.. mine 10.10 32bit ubuntu 2gb ram atom cpu... gmone | 03:41 |
| anynickname | what does rwxr-xr-x+ mean? (the plus sign) | 03:41 |
| LinuxRules | heguru yeah ubuntu is doing alot of good for Linux at the m just there slipping down the M$ ways of offering easy use at lack of security but then again theres no other way you either know how or you dont. | 03:41 |
| html | what was that channel op? | 03:41 |
| Nate_ | (Reason: my netbook was running fine on Ubuntu, then it began freezing every time Ubuntu loaded. I can get as far as the purple screen, but then it's stuck, even in recovery mode.) | 03:42 |
| Tony_ | what is the diff between adhoc and infrastructure | 03:42 |
| hass | almoxarife: /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11 | 03:42 |
| LinuxRules | Linux isnt for noobs | 03:42 |
| sonanbulof | Really? | 03:42 |
| LinuxRules | by that I mean Linux wont be what it actually is if its catered for | 03:43 |
| Nate_ | I have just a few files I need to grab from the HDD before I wipe it clean and reinstall. | 03:43 |
| Grymmoire | sorry html I didn't know I needed to give more details, let's see | 03:43 |
| almoxarife | hass: thanks | 03:43 |
| LinuxRules | Linux is for people who want to dive under there hood windows is for them who just want to use a computer | 03:44 |
| almoxarife | hass: nothing special about your setup is there? straight forward? i am trying to duplicate a vanilla setup | 03:44 |
| LinuxRules | Linux does free you from paying for a lesser OS though and its free | 03:44 |

| sonanbulof | Yeah | 03:44 |
| anynickname | MrKeuner: do you know what the plus sign in rwxr-xr-x+ means? | 03:44 |
| hass | almoxarife: I fixed my Nautilus running as root issue. I deleted /home/hill0703/.local/share/applications/userapp-gksu-RH19MV.desktop | 03:44 |
| Grymmoire | Ubuntu 11.10, running Unity, Memory 3.5GiB, Processor Intel® Core™ i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz × 4, OS type 64-bit | 03:45 |
| Grymmoire | I don't know what else to give | 03:45 |
| LinuxRules | and Ubuntu are taking over CentOs on server side too keep it up! | 03:45 |
| hass | almoxarife: Can't open Google Chrome now for some reason, but I'm sure a reinstall will fix it | 03:45 |

| hass | almoxarife: thanks for looking at it | 03:45 |
| html | Grymmoire, its in the newbie manual ,, just do it and ppl that need help, and someone that knows about it can , with out the mess and the 21questions ,,, | 03:45 |
| MrKeuner | anynickname, no | 03:46 |
| LinuxRules | hass you set /dev/shm read only | 03:46 |
| MrKeuner | anynickname, appears like related to ACL | 03:46 |
| sonanbulof | + means "add this" | 03:46 |
| LinuxRules | ? | 03:47 |
| hass | LinuxRules: you mean to fix chrome? | 03:47 |
| vassagus | hass try to run chrome from console, to see what is going on. | 03:48 |
| Nate_ | Alternately, is there a USB-bootable program that would allow me to access the HDD and copy files to it, so I don't have to boot non-working Ubuntu? | 03:48 |
| ejv | anynickname: + causes the selected file mode bits to be added to the existing file mode bits of each file | 03:48 |
| hass | [3885:3894:754175093:FATAL:base/shared_memory_posix.cc(193)] Creating shared memory in /dev/shm/com.google.chrome.7BVJNT failed. This is frequently caused by incorrect permissions on /dev/shm. Try 'sudo chmod 777 /dev/shm' to fix.: No such file or directory | 03:48 |
| hass | Aborted | 03:48 |
| LinuxRules | hass meant to say is your shared memory read only? (/dev/shm/) thats one thing that makes chrome fail but it wont be read only unless you modified fstab | 03:48 |
| hass | makes sense now | 03:48 |
| hass | i'll try chmod | 03:48 |
| IneedMyWow | ok getting more into my new ubuntu switch but i got some things to work out, how do i look at files in my comp more specifly the crossover files connected to c: or wow folder how do i look at that? | 03:49 |
| LinuxRules | chmod wont fix | 03:49 |
| IneedMyWow | i have 3 copies of wow on here and i need to delete two is theresome ubuntu equiv of explorer | 03:49 |
| ejv | IneedMyWow: nautilus | 03:49 |
| anynickname | ejv: could you elaborate, please? If it helps, I'm asking because I've noticed OSX's user folder has rwxr-xr-x+ permissions | 03:50 |
| LinuxRules | mount -o remount/rw /dev/shm might | 03:50 |
| furan | hi | 03:50 |
| ejv | anynickname: not really, the definition is the definition, might help to read the documentation pertaining to chmod | 03:50 |
| hass | LinuxRules: I changed the permissions and Chrome opened | 03:50 |
| sonanbulof | hi | 03:50 |
| vassagus | IneedMyWow, use nautilus | 03:50 |
| ejv | anynickname: 'man chmod' | 03:50 |
| LinuxRules | hass cool | 03:50 |
| haylo | chmod uses a 3 digit number | 03:50 |
| furan | I just installed ubuntu 11.10 and I hate the interface, is there any way I can uninstall all this crap and get back the interface 10.04 gave me? I've already tried gnome-session-fallback but that's not even close. | 03:50 |
| anynickname | ejv: will see that, thanks | 03:51 |
| IneedMyWow | can someone quickly tell me how i can 'explore' my folders in ubuntu? i need to look at my wow folder | 03:51 |
| haylo | chmod 777 filename for full permission | 03:51 |
| hass | LinuxRules: I do have a modified fstab file. Will this happen again if I restart? | 03:51 |
| ejv | IneedMyWow: stop ignoring us, two people said to use Nautilus | 03:51 |
| acerimmer | IneedMyWow: Places > Wow Folder | 03:51 |
| IneedMyWow | is there some GUI windows computer explore equivelent | 03:51 |
| LinuxRules | hass what did you change it to though , nothing like 777? | 03:51 |
| vassagus | IneedMyWow, open your home folder, for instance | 03:52 |
| hass | LinuxRules: UUID=48c8edf9-f238-41d3-94a8-e9b6209cb488 / ext4 defaults 0 1 | 03:52 |
| hass | LinuxRules: That's the line from my fstab file | 03:52 |
| MrKeuner | IneedMyWow, is a bot friends... | 03:52 |
| vassagus | there you have nautilius | 03:52 |
| haylo | ls -l lists file permissions | 03:52 |
| IneedMyWow | close vassagus but i need to get into the folder that crossover uses | 03:52 |
| LinuxRules | your fstab is fine | 03:52 |
| ejv | good thing i'm not an op, he'd be gone | 03:52 |
| IneedMyWow | nautilus under home | 03:52 |
| haylo | chmod xxx filename changes them | 03:52 |
| hass | LinuxRules: OK. Thank you | 03:53 |
| LinuxRules | what was the xxx though it wast 777 was it? | 03:53 |
| vassagus | crossover map to a folder on the main system | 03:53 |
| haylo | no | 03:53 |
| haylo | it can be whatever number you want | 03:53 |
| === XLV_ is now known as XLV | ||
| LinuxRules | 777 would insecure your box | 03:53 |
| IneedMyWow | i have no idea what that means | 03:53 |
| haylo | yeah do 700 or 710 depending on what you want | 03:54 |
| vassagus | i mean, crossover use a folder that points to a real directory on linux | 03:54 |
| vassagus | just need to know where is it, | 03:54 |
| IneedMyWow | ok i cant find nautilus or the folder im hunting at all | 03:54 |
| IneedMyWow | i used to have a browse c folder | 03:54 |
| anynickname | ejv and MrKeuner, found it: via man page 'ls'. "If the file or directory has extended security information, the permissions field printed by the -l option is followed by a '+' character.". This generally means the file is encumbered with access restrictions outside of the traditional Unix permissions - likely Access Control List (ACL). | 03:55 |
| IneedMyWow | some wine thing i think | 03:55 |
| vassagus | try to use find | 03:55 |
| LinuxRules | ineedmywow open a terminal and type nautilus | 03:55 |
| IneedMyWow | k | 03:55 |
| ejv | IneedMyWow: stop being dense, the default gnome file manager *is* Nautilus, when you clicked on Places -> Location; it launched an instance of Nautilus | 03:55 |
| IneedMyWow | ok did that now where is my c: folder that crossover uses? | 03:55 |
| MrKeuner | IneedMyWow, you have to reboot into windows to see that | 03:56 |
| LinuxRules | c: folder thats win**** | 03:56 |
| IneedMyWow | stop being dense? now thats not very useful ubuntu style love and help is it ya queer pants | 03:56 |
| acerimmer | ...and it begins | 03:56 |
| vassagus | IneedMyWow, i think that the folder is in /home/user/ | 03:56 |
| xangua | IneedMyWow: then you sure know your virtual c directory is on .wine, to show .wine you need to press 'Control+h' on your home directory | 03:57 |
| ejv | since when did this become #crossover ... | 03:57 |
| * ejv sighs | 03:57 | |
| IneedMyWow | im aware its windows but crossover access wow.exe on here where is that folder i need to edit the config file | 03:57 |
| vassagus | probably something like .wine or .crossover | 03:57 |
| LinuxRules | ask win**** support | 03:57 |
| vassagus | open a terminal, and use find | 03:57 |
| IneedMyWow | ok | 03:57 |
| haylo | just open the windows files from nautilus- mount the drive it doesnt matter if it says C on it | 03:57 |
| haylo | you will have more acess to the win files through nautilus than you have in windows probly lol | 03:58 |
| vassagus | IneedMyWow open a terminal and type this find / -name 'wow.exe' -print | 03:58 |
| hariom | what is the best tutorial/guide to understand build automation (Configure, build and install process). I am beginner and want to know how to put together my python pieces for deployment in automated fashion. I do have packages like Apache2 httpd, httplib2, lxml etc to compile and install. I am absolutely beginner when it comes to build system (new to build terms like target dist etc) | 03:59 |
| vassagus | that should return the path where the wow is store | 03:59 |
| LinuxRules | why are you guys supporting someone to find to run in wine? | 04:00 |
| IneedMyWow | and how do i use find | 04:00 |
| LinuxRules | when they eventually find it probbably wont run | 04:00 |
| IneedMyWow | cuz they are good people, unlike... | 04:00 |
| vassagus | IneedMyWow here is an example find / -name 'wow.exe' -print | 04:00 |
| sonanbulof | maybe locate | 04:00 |
| ejv | lol @ vassagus | 04:00 |
| ejv | IneedMyWow: man find | 04:01 |
| vassagus | lol :D | 04:01 |
| MrKeuner | IneedMyWow, I am amazed people still try to help you | 04:01 |
| IneedMyWow | why cant i just search for it in nautilus? | 04:01 |
| IneedMyWow | ok that got me a bunch of permission denied | 04:01 |
| doc-saintly | I was using the disk manager to check the health of my Raid 5 array and I mistakenly clicked the "check" button and now it is "rebuilding" the array even though there was nothing wrong with it | 04:01 |
| IneedMyWow | dont worry nobody has helped me with nada | 04:01 |
| doc-saintly | can I stop this safely somehow? | 04:01 |
| haylo | LinuxRules it is funny, but they are right thats the only place its called c | 04:02 |
| vassagus | IneedMyWow thats couse you are not root | 04:02 |
| LinuxRules | if they dont know how to find files in Linux god help ,them wityh getting all the dll's without errors pointing them to those dll | 04:02 |
| vassagus | IneedMyWow try to do a find in your home folder | 04:02 |
| IneedMyWow | i did that and still nothing, i know its in here | 04:02 |
| vassagus | find ./ -name 'wow.exe' -print | 04:02 |
| ejv | hariom: check out gentoo portage ebuilds, terrific example of automation | 04:02 |
| IneedMyWow | nope | 04:03 |

| MrKeuner | bye girls | 04:03 |
| xangua | (21:57:16) xangua: IneedMyWow: then you sure know your virtual c directory is on .wine, to show .wine you need to press 'Control+h' on your home directory | 04:03 |
| xangua | (21:57:35) vassagus: probably something like .wine or .crossover | 04:03 |
| sonanbulof | cd ~/.wine/c_drive/Program\ Files/Wow/ | 04:03 |
| ejv | his partition with 'wow' may not be properly mounted, so no amount of find-ing will be sufficient | 04:03 |
| IneedMyWow | xangua...u rawk | 04:04 |
| IneedMyWow | control h thats all i needed | 04:04 |
| LinuxRules | Wine running things in wine is harder then before package managers and you had to go through compile after compile | 04:04 |
| IneedMyWow | sheesh guys put down yer weapons | 04:04 |
| IneedMyWow | dont worry tho ill be back fer moe | 04:05 |
| vassagus | last time i help a noob | 04:05 |
| IneedMyWow | yea cause everyone starts out pro right... elietest fool | 04:05 |
| LinuxRules | most dont work because you need the dll but the fails/errors never point to that | 04:05 |
| IneedMyWow | vassagus was born writing linux code | 04:06 |
| IneedMyWow | obv | 04:06 |
| jenia | hello everyone | 04:06 |
| sonanbulof | hi | 04:06 |
| jenia | when i run sshd, it does not seem to listen to port 22 | 04:06 |
| ejv | IneedMyWow: I recommend as a beginner, you concentrate on a dual-boot configuration, ubuntu on one partition or disk, windows on the other; this is your best avenue. | 04:06 |
| hariom | ejv: Would you point to appropriate link you are mentioning. I am new to build automation therefore would need to understand how and why of things and terminology | 04:07 |
| sonanbulof | i recomend google | 04:07 |
| neildomo | How do you know it's not listening on port 22? | 04:07 |
| ejv | hariom: just google gentoo portage | 04:07 |
| jenia | for of all, the i try to connect with a client it says that the the connection was refured | 04:07 |
| vassagus | IneedMyWow, just saying, maybe you have to read a couple of books, before asking | 04:07 |
| jenia | first of all* | 04:07 |
| jenia | second, when i run fuser on the sshd process, it return nothing | 04:07 |
| LinuxRules | jenia if the service is started whats the output of netstat -ln | grep 22 | 04:07 |
| jenia | one second | 04:08 |
| neildomo | jenia ps -ef |grep sshd do you get output? | 04:08 |
| ejv | hariom, freebsd's software policy is another good example of automation, unix brother to portage | 04:08 |
| jenia | tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 04:08 |
| jenia | tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN | 04:08 |
| neildomo | jenia firewall running? | 04:08 |
| LinuxRules | its listening then have you tried a restart? | 04:09 |
| neildomo | selinux enabled, but not configured for sshd? | 04:09 |
| jenia | how do i check if the firewall is running? | 04:09 |
| ejv | are you trying to ssh to your daemon as root, and you've denied root in your config? | 04:10 |
| neildomo | /sbin/iptables -L | 04:10 |
| LinuxRules | jenia you have physical access to it then or was that netstat from you PC? | 04:10 |
| jenia | its from my pc | 04:10 |
| LinuxRules | ok | 04:10 |
| jenia | i have physical access | 04:10 |
| sonanbulof | hariom look here http://www3.fh-swf.de/fbin/roth/download/prg3.howto_autoconfmake.pdf | 04:11 |
| LinuxRules | jenia is this a dedicated or virtual server hosted some where else? | 04:11 |
| LinuxRules | ^^ seen what you posted | 04:11 |
| jenia | this is just my pc, and i want to be able to connect to it from elsewhere | 04:11 |
| LinuxRules | the failure will be at your router | 04:11 |
| LinuxRules | that will be blocking incoming (most of it any way) | 04:12 |
| LinuxRules | or are you connecting on LAN? | 04:12 |
| vassagus | are you testing from the internet, or LAN? | 04:12 |
| === asrblr is now known as Guest93352 | ||
| jenia | but i my router, i open port 22 for external and forwarded it to port 22 internal | 04:13 |
| jenia | wait, thats the problem. | 04:13 |
| jenia | from lan | 04:13 |
| jenia | the external port will be what? 80? | 04:13 |
| vassagus | whatever you want | 04:14 |
| LinuxRules | jenia what is it you need just ssh? | 04:14 |
| neildomo | To make things easy, I'd use 22 on both sides. | 04:14 |
| hariom | sonanbulof: looking at it. Thanks | 04:14 |
| neildomo | Later you can change the Internet side to cut down on script kiddies. | 04:14 |
| jenia | yea, that what im using. | 04:14 |
| LinuxRules | always change default port if only to stop /var filling | 04:14 |
| neildomo | You have two computers on your lan? | 04:15 |
| LinuxRules | you will get pwnd | 04:15 |
| vassagus | are you forwading to your LAN ip? | 04:15 |
| jenia | i want to start with ssh and see how it works. than ill use other program to transfer files over the la | 04:15 |
| LinuxRules | jenia does ssh respond calling from a local session? | 04:15 |
| LinuxRules | i.e ssh root@localhost | 04:16 |
| neildomo | LinuxRules I was just going to suggest that! | 04:16 |
| vassagus | me 2, lol | 04:16 |
| jenia | yes it responded to a local session | 04:17 |
| neildomo | You can add '-v' to be verbose | 04:17 |
| LinuxRules | it usually fixes the prob 90% | 04:17 |
| vassagus | yes indeed | 04:17 |
| LinuxRules | sorry jenia its user error | 04:17 |
| neildomo | jenia so sshd is responding, at least locally | 04:17 |
| LinuxRules | or your firewall | 04:17 |
| geoffmcc | jenia: i also use port 22, however you will get alot of hack attempts on your ssh, so i would suggest using something like fail2ban to protect your box | 04:18 |
| LinuxRules | sorry | 04:18 |
| jenia | can you tell me, how do i find out what my name is on the network? like whats the name of the computer? | 04:18 |
| vassagus | connect to your ip | 04:18 |
| LinuxRules | hostname | 04:18 |
| LinuxRules | whoami | 04:18 |
| vassagus | sometimes hostname dont resolve on lan | 04:19 |
| LinuxRules | hostname dont resolve its whats set on the server | 04:19 |
| vassagus | but i think that he is trying to conect to a pc that is locally on his lan | 04:19 |
| LinuxRules | will need to use IP then | 04:20 |
| jenia | okay i did hostname and it printed it | 04:20 |
| LinuxRules | hostname wont help | 04:20 |
| html | APU supported in the kernel Uubntu? | 04:20 |
| jenia | what is it then? | 04:20 |
| vassagus | jenia use /sbin/ifconfig to find the ip | 04:20 |
| vassagus | then connect using the IP not name | 04:21 |
| sonanbulof | cat /etc/hosts | 04:21 |
| overclucker | hostname will be useless from a remote system | 04:21 |
| LinuxRules | jenia well unless you know the IP of the box you want to connect6 to you will need to can the IP range of your network to find it | 04:21 |
| LinuxRules | *scan | 04:22 |
| overclucker | you can add the hostname to your hosts file | 04:22 |
| LinuxRules | not with out knowing the IP they cant! | 04:22 |
| geoffmcc | jenia: also if your trying to connect locally, i would suggest assigning a static ip to server if you havent | 04:22 |

| michaelgamble | hey you guys familiar with libappindidcator? | 04:23 |
| Madgunner | guys | 04:23 |
| vassagus | maybe he is used to wins resolution | 04:23 |
| Madgunner | take a look at this | 04:23 |
| besogon | hello. | 04:23 |
| Madgunner | tell me what you think | 04:24 |
| Madgunner | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veW1cLrjzBo | 04:24 |
| sonanbulof | nope, sorry | 04:24 |
| FloodBot1 | Madgunner: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:24 |
| sonanbulof | hi | 04:24 |
| Madgunner | its about windows 8 | 04:24 |
| h00k | Madgunner: this isn't the place | 04:24 |
| michaelgamble | i installed zentyal, and it looks like its a paired down version of ubuntu server running lxde | 04:24 |
| h00k | ubottu: ot | Madgunner | 04:24 |
| ubottu | Madgunner: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 04:24 |
| LinuxRules | nmap 192.168.0./24 -n -sn -sP will usually pick up servers on your network unless your IP range is different | 04:24 |
| vassagus | LinuxRules, thanks thats very usefull to me | 04:25 |
| besogon | My computer is in a domain. The problem is that I have to unblock SAMBA printer every day to print. Is it possible to unblock forever? | 04:25 |
| michaelgamble | my challenge is i compiled and installed an app the same way i have four times today on lubuntu and ubuntu.. but for some reason this flavour the app won't show up in the task bar and i think its cause they have some really crappy peered down task bar? is that possible? and if so is their a way to fix / upgrade the task bar? | 04:26 |
| sonanbulof | Madgunner i already boycott windows, don't need to boycot somthing that i dont use or maybe dead by itself | 04:26 |
| tellone | What does, basename: extra operand `3' mean? | 04:26 |
| vassagus | besogon you should log your box into the domain | 04:26 |
| sters | anyone know of a good chan to talk about dpkg? | 04:27 |
| LinuxRules | <michaelgamble> its because your using different desktops | 04:27 |
| michaelgamble | but i had it working on lxde from lubuntu | 04:27 |
| michaelgamble | this is also a variant of lxde | 04:27 |
| michaelgamble | it just seems to have a worse taskbar | 04:27 |
| chowder | michaelgamble: what is the name of the taskbar application you are using? As far as I know you need to write a .desktop file. These files are able to be read by menus that conform to the freedesktop standards. Basically .desktop file = nice menu icon. Also did you get any errors while you compiled the application? | 04:27 |
| michaelgamble | do i have any options? | 04:27 |
| vassagus | besogon you must configure samba to ldap configuration or ad, research about that | 04:27 |
| michaelgamble | no errors compiling the app | 04:28 |
| LinuxRules | theres no reason you cant ask about dpkg here | 04:28 |
| michaelgamble | everything looked gravy | 04:28 |
| michaelgamble | also the config wizard of the app worked as normal | 04:28 |
| sonanbulof | runtime error or warnings? | 04:28 |
| michaelgamble | nope | 04:28 |
| LinuxRules | it wont be the compiling it will be the differencies with desktops | 04:29 |
| michaelgamble | i think its running to be honest (my hunch) i just think this desktop isn't supporting displaying the icon in the taskbar | 04:29 |
| sonanbulof | srtange, maybe the taskbar is buggy (or uses other ways to handle windows list) | 04:29 |
| michaelgamble | is it hard to install a different desktop? | 04:29 |
| LinuxRules | thats what I was trying to tell ya :) | 04:29 |
| chowder | michaelgamble: what taskbar are you talking about? Unity? I'm still pretty sure that you need to write a .desktop file. | 04:29 |
| michaelgamble | i installed zentyal for easy fileshare management | 04:30 |
| mebigfatguy_ | yup need a foo.desktop file | 04:30 |
| michaelgamble | so whats my best bet here | 04:30 |
| michaelgamble | repaire or replace? | 04:30 |
| LinuxRules | no installing a new desktop or installing anything isnt hard unless you dont know how to use bash | 04:31 |
| LinuxRules | new gui only ^^ | 04:31 |
| michaelgamble | thats cool i got a pretty good hang of bash, and point me to the right tut from google and I'm a happy camper | 04:31 |
| besogon | vassagus: Now I'm working with user who is not participate in domain. BUt samba is tuned to log in to domain. I write usermap file which has string (rak = VSCC/rak) where rak is my ubuntu user. hope it would be enough | 04:32 |
| michaelgamble | so needs a replace | 04:32 |
| LinuxRules | <michaelgamble> so what you running now? | 04:32 |
| chowder | michaelgamble: just write a .desktop file for your application. Its not that hard. | 04:32 |
| besogon | but it's not | 04:32 |
| michaelgamble | let me google how to do that :) | 04:32 |
| sonanbulof | yes google rules | 04:32 |
| LinuxRules | whats .desktop gonna fix he wants to change his desktop shell | 04:33 |
| besogon | vassagus: moreover samba is connected to the domain correctly. ubuntu doesn't remember my password for the printer | 04:33 |
| LinuxRules | i.e kde to gnome | 04:33 |
| besogon | :( | 04:33 |
| michaelgamble | :) conflicting perspectives huh | 04:34 |
| chowder | LinuxRules: well I mentioned it because he seemed to want to get an icon on his taskbar. Now about changing desktop shells that's a different topic. | 04:34 |
| nixnine | hey guys, how can i tell if my computer is bluetooth capable? | 04:34 |
| nivyaj | nixnine: check your reciept. | 04:35 |
| nixnine | ? | 04:35 |
| sonanbulof | nixnine read vendor specs manual | 04:35 |
| nivyaj | i just installed ubuntu and am a noob. my screen is kind of glithy | 04:36 |
| nivyaj | glitchy- what do i do? | 04:36 |
| phenom | Flash videos are playing back very choppy. Anyone have any ideas, or possible solutions? | 04:36 |
| LinuxRules | <michaelgamble> going bed but sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop && service *dm restart or stop then start in this instancce gnome gdm | 04:36 |
| sonanbulof | anyone with version control knowledge? | 04:36 |
| nivyaj | i guess i need to install some drivers- but i don't know how or where? | 04:36 |
| michaelgamble | my app uses libindicator | 04:36 |
| chowder | sonanbulof: I have a bit of experience with git, svn, and cvs. | 04:36 |
| vassagus | besogon can you create a user on AD, and added to the printer, | 04:37 |
| vassagus | and replicate that user on the box | 04:37 |
| nixnine | no way to check in terminal? | 04:37 |
| gh0strider | hello everyone, i have a usb gps device that has been assigned to /dev/ttyUSB0, and when i run gpsd i check the output by running "cat /dev/ttyUSB0" and it used to show me readable text with long/lat numbers, now it shows me just gibberish and non readable text, is there anyway to change it back so readable text? | 04:38 |
| sonanbulof | i never used any version control but i feel that i need for future crossplatform development only for myself, wich is the best(easy to mantain, and deploy) solution? | 04:38 |
| gh0strider | i really need some help changing it back, this is for a project for school and i am going to be in a heap of trouble if i can't figure this out... | 04:38 |
| sonanbulof | chowder? | 04:39 |
| vassagus | gh0strider maybe its the device config. Protocol maybe its on binary. | 04:39 |
| besogon | vassagus: no I'm participate in the domain but have no rules to change the domain... I'm reading in the Samba Official web documents. Think I should ad something into my smb.conf | 04:39 |
| chowder | sonanbulof: sorry, multiple servers in my chat client | 04:40 |
| mebigfatguy_ | sonanbulof, i'm partial git w/github | 04:40 |
| chowder | sonanbulof: I find that git is pretty good | 04:40 |
| === Axlin is now known as Axlin^ | ||
| chowder | sonanbulof: sourceforge uses git as its default. I was working on a network manager called QDnet but I'm not on the team anymore. I don't really have a preference for version control. I just use what's agreed upon. | 04:41 |
| sonanbulof | sorry for buggin you, git it's fine for only one coder? | 04:41 |
| === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin | ||
| mebigfatguy_ | sonanbulof, sure | 04:41 |
| vassagus | besogon i was thinking about it. If you find a solution, i really appreciate if you share it. | 04:41 |
| mebigfatguy_ | wouldn't be very good for multiple coders if it wasn't good for 1 | 04:41 |
| gh0strider | vassagus: i am running gpsd with these options "gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -b -n" and for some reason it just started printing out gibberish when i do this command "cat /dev/ttyUSB0" and i really need to change it back it is so important to me... | 04:41 |
| sonanbulof | thanks, i look only for git | 04:41 |
| StepNjump | Anybody familiar with the /dev/dsp file in the pulseAudio server? | 04:42 |
| mebigfatguy_ | sonanbulof, look at github.com while you are at it... really nice | 04:42 |
| chowder | sonanbulof: well any kind of version control can be used by just one person. Its a great way to keep your code and revisions organized. | 04:42 |
| vassagus | gh0strider you said, that your device was working normally earlier | 04:42 |
| besogon | vassagus: lpadmin command should help as they advice. gonna try it | 04:42 |
| gh0strider | vassagus: yes it just started printing this non readable text today, i am not sure what caused it... | 04:43 |
| vassagus | gh0strider have you tried to reset the device to factory defaults, | 04:44 |
| gh0strider | vassagus: i think it happened when i disconnected the usb gps device from my guest os (ubuntu vmware player) and then i connected it back to my guest linux os... | 04:44 |
| gh0strider | vassagus: how can i reset the gps devices back to its defaults... | 04:45 |
| gh0strider | ? | 04:45 |
| sonanbulof | i'm worried about changes in time and regresions from one platform to another (sorry for my english) and cant recover old versions code (i'm using OSX TimeMachine for that but i dont trust on it for this task) | 04:45 |
| dagerik | How can I grep a binary file for only ascii values? I only want to get words and sentences and such. | 04:45 |
| mebigfatguy_ | dagerik, you are looking for specific words, or just looking for ascii of any form | 04:45 |
| dagerik | mebigfatguy_: Any form. | 04:46 |
| vassagus | gh0strider it depends of your device, did you tried to read from your host OS | 04:46 |
| gh0strider | i have a globalsat bu-353 | 04:46 |
| sonanbulof | thanks chowder and mebigfatguy for the help i look for git | 04:47 |
| chowder | sonanbulof: any time and good luck | 04:48 |
| vassagus | gh0strider be aware that factory reset will clear custom configurations on your device, | 04:49 |
| sonanbulof | bye | 04:49 |
| gh0strider | i am really scared because my grade is depending on this project and i need to fix this issue and find out how to change it back to readable text... | 04:49 |
| dagerik | gh0strider: What is the problem? | 04:49 |
| gh0strider | vassagus: whatever it takes to get it so when i do "cat /dev/ttyUSB0" and have it print readable text... | 04:50 |
| vassagus | gh0strider tried to read from your host PC | 04:50 |
| maginot | howdy | 04:50 |
| gh0strider | when it was normal and i would do "cat /dev/ttyUSB0" my gps device would print this kind of output: | 04:50 |
| gh0strider | $GPGSV,3,61,12,18,68,010,42,21,65,066,36,22,51,270,367,06,45,295,39*7B | 04:50 |
| gh0strider | $GPGSV,3,62,162,03,33,3043,3441,15,340,048,32,14,232,192,31,29,18,159,27*77 | 04:50 |
| FloodBot1 | gh0strider: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:50 |
| gh0strider | now it prints gibberish.. | 04:50 |
| gh0strider | i tried setting different baudrates but it didn't help... | 04:51 |
| vassagus | gh0strider try from you host OS, to discard Vmware issues | 04:51 |
| gh0strider | i don't believe that it vmware issues... | 04:52 |
| vassagus | me either, but you have to try every posibility | 04:52 |
| gh0strider | my whole grade is depending on this project and i don't have time or money to order a new gps device =-( | 04:53 |
| maginot | gh0strider, whats your issue? | 04:54 |
| gh0strider | i feel so depressed... | 04:54 |
| gh0strider | maginot: i have a usb gps device, and i setup my gps device with gpsd and it was working great and now for some reason when i do "cat /dev/ttyUSB0" it prints gibberish, non readable text | 04:55 |
| gh0strider | wait i am going to try it with another linux distro...see if its a linux issue or a gps issue | 04:55 |
| dagerik | gh0strider: google how to debug usb devices | 04:55 |
| Oer | gh0strider, change your location :-) | 04:55 |
| maginot | first, are your sure its your device? | 04:56 |
| maginot | second it may be not human readable | 04:56 |
| maginot | use dmesg first | 04:57 |
| vassagus | gh0strider look the device's manual for factory defaults | 04:57 |
| gh0strider | dmesg is not going to tell me why its printing non readable text | 04:57 |
| gh0strider | i thought maybe it was a baudrate issue but i don't think so because my gps device is running at the right baud rate... | 04:57 |
| gh0strider | brb | 04:57 |
| maginot | of course not, but you must first guarantee that its your gps device | 04:58 |
| Oer | maybe GPS is down for the moment | 04:58 |
| maginot | if you are doing to do a cat on the device baudrate will not apply, actually cat will not work as a terminal reader | 04:59 |
| maginot | tail -f or od are recommended | 05:00 |
| maginot | *doing/going | 05:01 |
| haldoll | Hi everyone, I'm new to Ubuntu and I've figured out how to load stock applications, but if one has downloaded drivers from, say "creative" for linux, what is the best way to install the drivers? | 05:01 |
| maginot | usually you recompile the kernel with right support or download the modules and build'em | 05:03 |
| haldoll | maginot, could you be more specific | 05:03 |
| vassagus | gh0strider try to changed your device from binary to nmea ascii | 05:03 |
| haldoll | I'm sorry, new at this thing and don't know specifically what to do, sorry | 05:04 |
| vassagus | gh0strider gpsctl -f -n /dev/ttyUSB0 | 05:04 |
| Oer | haldoll what drivers ? sound should work OOTB | 05:04 |
| haldoll | I'm just saying "creative" as the sound drivers as an example, but when I down load the drivers, I can "extract" them, but don't know how to get it into the operating system after that | 05:05 |
| haldoll | I try using the "sudo apt-get install" command, but this doesn't seem to work | 05:05 |
| maginot | okay, I had a little connection problem | 05:06 |
| maginot | who was talkingto me? | 05:06 |
| haldoll | Haldoll was | 05:06 |
| Oer | haldoll, what are you trying to install ? | 05:06 |
| maginot | haldoll, do you have the device model? | 05:06 |
| maginot | with that you can google for more information on the right driver | 05:07 |
| haldoll | "Xfi" drivers from creative | 05:07 |
| maginot | it may already exists in the kernel | 05:07 |
| socomm | Hey guys is there a Ubuntu/Debian equivalent of Redhat's KickStart? | 05:07 |
| maginot | haldoll, did this help ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=440866 | 05:08 |
| === agus_anu is now known as agus_sintang | ||
| haldoll | I'm looking at the link now, thanks | 05:09 |
| maginot | socomm, what is RedHat KickStart? | 05:09 |
| maginot | haldoll, maybe it give you some directions? | 05:09 |

| smw | socomm, preseed files | 05:11 |
| nitinab | i just installed tracker, but the indexing is not getting done, the tracker-store component is running, but nothing else. | 05:11 |
| nitinab | how can i force start it to start indexing | 05:11 |
| smw | socomm, the debian installer in the alternative install cd uses preseed files. They probably don't work with the live cd | 05:12 |
| haldoll | maginot, I found the link, and was able to download a driver (again), but what do I do when it gets to the Archive Manager, i.e. how do I then install it? | 05:12 |
| maginot | what is the link ? | 05:13 |
| maginot | haldoll, the file is .deb? | 05:13 |
| haldoll | It was in the section you gave me, but I have the drivers already. | 05:13 |
| haldoll | it is "tar.bz2: | 05:13 |
| maginot | haldoll, tar xf name_of_file.tar.bz2 | 05:13 |

| michaelgamble | gui | 05:14 |
| haldoll | yeah ... oss-linux-v4.2-2005-i686.tar.bz2 | 05:14 |
| maginot | haldoll, if its expected to be compiled so you will have to probably run configure && make && sudo make install | 05:15 |
| michaelgamble | i did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 05:15 |
| michaelgamble | I'm not even sure what its installing now :p | 05:15 |
| maginot | haldoll, but I suggest to search for some info/readme textfile inside first | 05:15 |
| maginot | oh, oss | 05:15 |
| maginot | oss is the coolest to compile ;) | 05:15 |
| multipass | anyone know of a FTP client that lets you edit files and upload on save automatically (checks for a save)? | 05:16 |

| nitinab | i just installed tracker, but the indexing is not getting done, the tracker-store component is running, but nothing else. how can i start the indexing ? | 05:17 |

| scott951 | questiom my mouse pad is to touchy with ubuntu is there a way to turn it off while typing? | 05:17 |
| maginot | haldoll, didnt you just downloaded from the website? | 05:18 |
| haldoll | yes | 05:18 |
| maginot | it will be there | 05:18 |
| maginot | where did you save it? | 05:18 |
| michaelgamble | holy smokes… i feel like apt-install ubuntu-desktop is installing every package under the sun | 05:18 |
| michaelgamble | geese .. going on 20 min now :p | 05:18 |
| firstlast | hello all | 05:18 |
| haldoll | simply / it was it says | 05:18 |
| maginot | michaelgamble, did you had a server install before? Why are you doing that anyway | 05:18 |
| michaelgamble | stupid mac autocorrect built into the OS now | 05:19 |
| haldoll | sorry, I don't mean to be dumb, but I'm really knew at this.... | 05:19 |
| firstlast | just upgraded to 11.10 and I wish to change the default driver form radeon to fglrx to use all 3 of my monitors | 05:19 |
| michaelgamble | yeah installed zentyal for the filesharing management | 05:19 |
| firstlast | been trying a variety of things, but X simply won't start | 05:19 |
| maginot | haldoll, what you mean about / ? did you save in the root of the system or under some folder in you home folder? | 05:19 |
| firstlast | how do i replace the default radeon driver with fglrx? | 05:19 |
| michaelgamble | which ran lxde but not properly configured to run an app that i wanted | 05:19 |
| haylo | firstlast did you install fglrx through "additional drivers" | 05:19 |
| maginot | haldoll, did you downloaded this file with firefox or what? | 05:19 |
| gh0strider | okay so when i went on my other linux distro and did "cat /dev/ttyUSB0" it printed gibberish, non readable text which means that it is an issue with my gps device, so does anyone here have any idea on how i can change my gps device to its default settings in linux? | 05:20 |
| michaelgamble | so i want the server but a different desktop | 05:20 |
| haldoll | yes, firefox | 05:20 |
| gh0strider | or will i have to do this in windows? | 05:20 |
| nitinab | scott951: you can either use the fn-button combo that comes on most keyboards, it must be a key with touchpad crossed out, or you can go change your settings in the System Settings>Mouse and Touchpad settings | 05:20 |
| haldoll | then it asked if I wanted to open it with the archive manager and I said yes. | 05:20 |
| gh0strider | i really need some help on this...like i said my grade depends on this... | 05:20 |
| maginot | haldoll, so? isnt there "Save as ?" option so you can save it under you desktop or in the Downloads folder (I think its this the default option) | 05:20 |
| gh0strider | my entire grade... | 05:20 |
| maginot | ok | 05:20 |
| maginot | you said yes, and extracted the files to some place | 05:21 |
| scott951 | nitinab: thanks | 05:21 |
| maginot | haldoll, I would do everything from command line | 05:22 |
| maginot | actually you will need it | 05:22 |
| haldoll | I did, say download section, but then how do I install it? | 05:22 |
| maginot | if you give me the path where for the file will be much easier to help you | 05:22 |
| gh0strider | anyone have any ideas on how to restore a usb gps to default settings? | 05:23 |
| gh0strider | if i can't figure this out i am in big trouble... | 05:23 |
| firstlast | anyone? :( | 05:23 |
| haldoll | well, when I look for it in "DASH" it is in the downloads section | 05:23 |
| haylo | gh0strider, i can tell you that the device should just be a file to linux. do ls -la in the directory that contains your device. and search for the related config files in nautilus perhaps you could get rid of the stuff that is interfering with your "default settings" | 05:23 |
| pangolin | gh0strider: if you have the option of doing it in Windows that is what you should do to not compromise your grade. figure out later what the problem is and try to get it fixed. | 05:24 |
| maginot | haldoll, do me a favor would ya | 05:24 |
| maginot | haldoll, open the gnome-terminal | 05:24 |
| maginot | haldoll, like alt+f2 and type gnome-terminal and hit enter | 05:24 |
| haylo | yes i have virtualbox installed in case i need windows for class gh0strider | 05:24 |
| haldoll | there | 05:25 |
| maginot | haldoll, ok, no what is the name of the file you said before? | 05:25 |
| haylo | did you get your thorzine haldol? | 05:25 |
| haldoll | it is in a subdirectory called "xfidrv_linux_public_us_1.00 | 05:26 |
| haldoll | it is in the downloads subdirectly when I look for it in DASH | 05:26 |
| maginot | haldoll, type in the console: find ~ | grep xfidrv | 05:26 |
| gh0strider | i don't know what to do and i am freaking out... | 05:26 |
| maginot | haldoll, pastebin the results | 05:26 |
| maginot | !pastebin | 05:26 |

| gh0strider | i don't know how to reset back to its default state (my gps device) | 05:27 |
| maginot | gh0strider, I tried to help you, but since you are freaking out you didnt listened anything | 05:27 |
| haylo | did you search for "gps" in nautilus under file system gh0strider ? | 05:27 |
| pangolin | gh0strider: setting it back to default would be done in the devices settings menu | 05:28 |
| haylo | lol yeah you make a great claim for help but dont seem to be trying anything | 05:28 |
| nitinab | i just installed tracker, but the indexing is not getting done, the tracker-store component is running, but nothing else. how can i start the indexing ? | 05:28 |
| haldoll | I did, and it just gave me "no results" and went back to the origin again | 05:28 |
| haldoll | sorry | 05:28 |
| gh0strider | the gps goes to /dev/ttyUSB0 and there is nothing to list its not a directory... | 05:28 |
| haldoll | I'm really trying | 05:28 |
| wingless2434 | I've Googled about GVFS, but haven't found much useful info. In one sentence, can someone sum up why I, a normal desktop end-user, would want GVFS on my system? as far as I can tell it only exists to frustrate commands that fail to read it | 05:28 |
| maginot | haldoll, not exactly? are you logged as root?? | 05:28 |
| gh0strider | haylo: i have tried many things | 05:28 |
| gh0strider | many things | 05:28 |
| haylo | ok what is the utility or app that controls the device? | 05:29 |
| maginot | gh0strider, you tried many things wrong. What you want to do, read the output? proccess it? Use some application? | 05:29 |
| haldoll | I think so as it lists my name as "haldoll@haldoll:~s | 05:29 |
| wingless2434 | case in point: the .gvfs file in my home directory: wtf is it and why should i want it? | 05:30 |
| nitinab | wingless2434: why do you need gvfs for ? | 05:30 |
| almoxarife | wingless2434: you would use gvfs if you kept a mirror of a remote drive locally, .gvfs would be the place where it sat | 05:30 |
| maginot | haldoll, do this instead: find ~ | grep oss | 05:30 |
| wingless2434 | almoxarife, nitinab, is it some kind of network file system protocol? | 05:30 |
| haldoll | k give me a sec | 05:30 |
| almoxarife | wingless2434: long story short, you cant get rid of it, nautilus depends on it, | 05:31 |
| haldoll | it gave me the following response.... /home/haldoll/.cache/software-center/icons/sc-agent-crossover-pro.png | 05:31 |
| haldoll | /home/haldoll/.cache/software-center/icons/sc-agent-crossover-standard.png | 05:31 |
| haldoll | /home/haldoll/.cache/software-center/icons/sc-agent-crossover-games.png | 05:31 |
| nitinab | yes wingless2434 ... when you connect to anything like sftp, ftp, or smb, a its mounted under .gvfs | 05:31 |
| maginot | haldoll, use pastebin, and Im looking for the path to the oss file you downloaded earlier | 05:32 |
| gh0strider | i am trying to see how to reset this usb gps device back to its original factory settings but i can't find a good link with instructions on how to reset a bu-353 gps device | 05:32 |
| maginot | !pastebin | 05:32 |
| wingless2434 | almoxarife, nitinab: I suppose that's useful. But why is it integral to GNOME? Seems really weird to be integrated into the GUI layer... | 05:32 |
| maginot | gh0strider, do you have its model? | 05:32 |
| haldoll | not sure what "pastebin" is, sorry | 05:32 |

| almoxarife | wingless2434: if you can pull nautilus from gnome you wont have gvfs anymore, you wont have nautilus either | 05:33 |
| nitinab | wingless2434: some later programs need it , or depend on it . so just ignore it | 05:33 |
| haldoll | pastebin: command not found | 05:33 |
| haylo | pastebin is a thing you learn to use real quick on irc | 05:33 |
| haylo | look it up it is self expanatory | 05:33 |
| almoxarife | wingless2434: why the fixation on gvfs? | 05:33 |
| nitinab | lol @haldoll | 05:33 |
| wingless2434 | can you use this GVFS stuff without using nautilus...? e.g. if i were to log into my machine remotely via ssh and didn't start up a windows session | 05:33 |
| maginot | haldoll, pastebin is a site, where you post the text, like you can post many lines >> paste.ubuntu.com | 05:33 |
| almoxarife | wingless2434: yes | 05:33 |
| haylo | pastebin is a website | 05:33 |
| maginot | haldoll, hey, I have a way better ideia | 05:34 |
| haldoll | got it sorry, like I said i'm new to this | 05:34 |
| maginot | haldoll, go to the gnome-terminal | 05:34 |
| haldoll | k | 05:34 |
| haldoll | there | 05:34 |
| wingless2434 | almoxarife, it's just puzzled me and i haven't been able to understand it from preliminary googling. where can i find more info on the topic? | 05:34 |

| === robert__ is now known as CyFus | ||
| wingless2434 | almoxarife, I don't undersatnd why something like GVFS would be wanted if we already have NFS | 05:35 |
| CyFus | can anyone tell me where menu applets are stored? | 05:35 |
| haylo | they are stored all over the place i think | 05:35 |
| haldoll | done | 05:35 |
| maginot | haldoll, what is the link from the file you downloaded? | 05:35 |
| almoxarife | wingless2434: you are looking at gvfs with out a 'use' for it, you got a networked house? more than one pc ? | 05:35 |
| haylo | if you look at the properties you can see the file path to their execution command | 05:36 |
| CyFus | i cant find the one for sound control | 05:36 |
| haldoll | I have to back track on creative's website, give me a sec | 05:36 |
| haylo | you might need to add an applet outside of the unity enviornment | 05:36 |
| CyFus | im running 10.10 | 05:37 |
| maginot | haldoll, ok, do that its important. | 05:37 |

| haylo | youll find it you are on the right track | 05:39 |
| haylo | night guys haylo out | 05:39 |
| wingless2434 | almoxarife, sorry, important phone call came in. I'm on a one PC home system, so I have no need to network stuff right now. | 05:40 |
| wingless2434 | almoxarife, I think that's probably teh issue - i don't have the problems it's trying to fix, but i'm still curious | 05:41 |
| FluxD | Hi, what is the easiest way to start a pure compiz session without unity launcher, I dont want to use gnome fallback or gnome 3. | 05:41 |
| almoxarife | wingless2434: have a network outside the home you want to connect to? | 05:42 |
| nitinab | how can i force start it to start indexing | 05:42 |
| pangolin | nitinab: start what? | 05:43 |
| wingless2434 | almoxarife, i don't, no | 05:43 |
| almoxarife | wingless2434: stop fixating? | 05:44 |
| guest829385 | Greetings! I bought and installed ddr3 204 pin ram in a netbook. It won't boot, and it's failing as if there were no ram in there at all. There's no further comaptability issue, right? Since it fits the socket, ddr3 204 pin should work yes? | 05:44 |
| wingless2434 | almoxarife, probably the best solution for now. i'll revisit it later if i need to. thanks! | 05:44 |
| nitinab | the tracker daemon that does the actual indexing pangolin | 05:44 |
| pangolin | nitinab: sudo updatedb | 05:45 |
| nitinab | pangolin: we aren't talking about the updatedb-locate combo but the tracker-search tool | 05:46 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: you should have three processes associated with tracker running, all of them user processess | 05:47 |
| pangolin | nitinab: try man tracker | 05:47 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: look at system monitor | 05:48 |
| nitinab | i did that pangolin , it says the indexing tool tracker-miner-fs should be started at login automatically | 05:48 |
| pangolin | probably is. install tracker-gui | 05:48 |
| nitinab | but all i have in the process list is tracker-store... which is the hub to serve queries but not the indexer | 05:48 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: you should have three processes associated with tracker running, all of them user processess | 05:49 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: how did you install 'tracker'? | 05:49 |
| nitinab | just one is running ... the tracker-store, the gui is needle, which gives up no results when run | 05:49 |
| vagothcpp | on the 11.10 amd64 there is no xorg.conf, has the location moved? | 05:50 |
| nitinab | "apt-get install tracker tracker-gui" | 05:50 |
| SwedeMike | vagothcpp: nope, but if there is no special config, there is no xorg.conf. sane defaults. | 05:50 |
| lisa_ | k | 05:50 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: you need the 'tracker' package | 05:50 |
| nitinab | so i dont think i have any componentss missing almoxarife | 05:50 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: you need the 'tracker' package | 05:50 |
| nitinab | i did that almoxarife already ... the packages are available, i can get the ui and preferences page. just not the indexer | 05:51 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: install the 'tracker' <-- one word, package | 05:52 |
| nitinab | ok done that almoxarife : says "tracker is already the newest version." | 05:53 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: log out, and return | 05:53 |
| IcemanV9 | vagothcpp, there isn't one | 05:53 |
| vagothcpp | IcemanV9, so far that is what I have found to be true, however my nvidia driver is giving me an absolute headache atm | 05:54 |
| nitinab | did that almoxarife ... no indexer ... | 05:54 |
| gh0strider | i don't see how in windows i can reset my bu-353 gps device back to its default settings... | 05:54 |
| IcemanV9 | vagothcpp, to fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 05:55 |
| gh0strider | i am so screwed... | 05:55 |
| gh0strider | i am going to fail my project and thats not good.... | 05:55 |
| === Jay is now known as JBunny | ||
| almoxarife | nitinab: in terminal tracker-preferences | 05:55 |
| gh0strider | oh man i am so stressed... | 05:55 |
| IcemanV9 | vagothcpp, plus i do not know anything about nvidia driver | 05:55 |
| vagothcpp | IcemanV9, I keep receiving a message along the lines of "THe nvidia driver is currently not in use" | 05:55 |
| vagothcpp | IcemanV9, ahk | 05:55 |
| almoxarife | gh0strider: is it a hardware gps unit, the kind you connect via usb? | 05:55 |
| pangolin | gh0strider: stop wasting your time and ours please. Do your project in windows and worry about fixing getting the device working in linux later. | 05:55 |
| JBunny | Hi everyone. just installed drivers for my NVidia card and the resolution is stuck at 640x480. Any ideas? | 05:56 |
| nitinab | almoxarife: that brings up the preferences dialog, there are folders set to be indexed, i even tried setting it to index always, even when there are other programs running .. no effect | 05:56 |
| gh0strider | has anyone here ever had to reset a usb gps device to its default settings? | 05:57 |
| vagothcpp | JBunny, it was just said to me: to fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 05:57 |
| vagothcpp | IcemanV9^^ | 05:57 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: find the logs at ~/local/tracker i think thats the place, see whats up | 05:57 |
| IcemanV9 | vagothcpp, it may help if you see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 05:58 |
| nitinab | hold on minute almoxarife | 05:58 |
| almoxarife | gh0strider: there is no config, there is nothing to return to default, those rom units spit out garmin protocol nmea and thats it | 05:59 |
| vagothcpp | IcemanV9, I think the main problem is that I have 2 graphics cards, 1 internal (and not able to disable), and an nvidia 520mx, on windows, a program can be set to use either, not sure how this is going to work for ubuntu | 06:00 |
| JBunny | almoxarife: what was that command you had me enter the other day that let me know what my VGA adapter was ie VGA0 or 1? | 06:00 |
| almoxarife | JBunny: not sure, you sure i gave it to you? | 06:01 |
| nitinab | almoxarife: the path is .local/share/tracker and the logs are for tracker-store (empty) and tracker-needle (with previous search terms) | 06:02 |
| JBunny | almoxarife: pretty sure. it gave me a big list of things including my monitor. | 06:02 |
| almoxarife | JBunny: xorg.0.log? | 06:03 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: i dont think the install worked, you use synaptic? | 06:03 |
| prince_jammys | JBunny: maybe xrandr. | 06:03 |
| almoxarife | JBunny: that was not me | 06:04 |
| Pascoal | !seen fooka | 06:04 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 06:04 |
| nitinab | i can use all of them , apt-get was how i installed it ... purge and then a reinstall should help? | 06:04 |
| IcemanV9 | vagothcpp, ah. not sure about that one. i believe it needs to be disabled in order for ubuntu to see nvidia. | 06:04 |
| JBunny | almoxarife: really? sorry, you and JStrong were helping me at the same time, maybe it was him. | 06:04 |
| vagothcpp | IcemanV9, which is not possible, Ubuntu can see the nvidia, just X is unable to take advantage of it since I cannot find where to change the driver used | 06:05 |
| almoxarife | nitinab: use synatpic, search for tracker, there should be at least three apps installed, needle i believe makes it four | 06:05 |
| nitinab | let me do that almoxarife | 06:05 |
| vagothcpp | i am about to attempt the manual install over the apt install and see if i get anywhere | 06:05 |
| IcemanV9 | vagothcpp, any good from wiki? perhaps xrandr may help? | 06:05 |
| vagothcpp | IcemanV9, possibly, I am looking into it | 06:06 |
| cpgo | where am I supposed to put a script to run at either login or startup | 06:06 |
| JBunny | I cant get mydisplay above 640x480. xrandr is saying that is the max. any ideas? I just installed the nvidia driver. | 06:06 |
| === agus_maem is now known as agus_sintang | ||
| cpgo | I tied ~/.bash_login but that didnt work | 06:06 |
| vagothcpp | IcemanV9, if i pull the recommended settings from nvidia-xconfig and use xrandr to set them perhaps | 06:07 |
| prince_jammys | cpgo: do you have a file ~/.profile ? if so, there. | 06:08 |
| cpgo | prince_jammys, ok | 06:08 |
| cpgo | thanks | 06:08 |
| IcemanV9 | vagothcpp, i do not know as i never play with nvidia card | 06:08 |
| vagothcpp | IcemanV9, sorry, speaking my ideas through my hands | 06:09 |
| IcemanV9 | it might work though | 06:09 |

| cpgo | prince_jammys, no, theres history, login (which I created), logout and rc | 06:19 |
| cpgo | prefixed bash_ | 06:19 |

| prince_jammys | cpgo: 'donput' was a typo. I meant 'put' | 06:20 |
| almoxarife | JBunny: i mean all that xrand stuff is for the birds | 06:20 |
| prince_jammys | cpgo: if the test file is created, the issue is with your prog. | 06:20 |
| almoxarife | JBunny: you will need to reboot after the install completes | 06:21 |
| cpgo | prince_jammys, well I have other stuff in .profile that work. I export a var and I see that its set. Im going to do that file creating in my script and see if the script itself is being called and what I have it doing in there is failing | 06:21 |
| prince_jammys | cpgo: sounds like the issue is with your script, then. | 06:21 |
| JBunny | almoxarife: alright. I should be able to change the resolution then right? | 06:21 |
| almoxarife | JBunny: maybe, reboot! | 06:22 |
| JBunny | almoxarife: I will in 2 minutes when it finishes | 06:22 |
| xtgyal | MP3? | 06:23 |
| almoxarife | JBunny: later you need to add the ppa that keeps nvidia-current, real current, but that is later | 06:23 |
| xtgyal | anyone? | 06:24 |
| prince_jammys | xtgyal: you probably need to write something more than 'MP3?' to get an answer. | 06:25 |

| Morpheme | gh0strider, :* | 06:33 |
| xtgyal | I'm on Ubuntu Software Center, just a sec, gonna install | 06:33 |
| Morpheme | xtgyal, nice | 06:33 |
| aeden | Is there a way to force telling my nvidia graphics driver how much vram I have? It thinks I have MORE than my card actually does (GeForge Go 6400) and as a result I'm seeing some weird corrupted graphics | 06:33 |
| xtgyal | installing | 06:34 |
| pawan_tejwani | it's heavy download if I install it from internet... but from cdrom I am getting some error | 06:34 |
| pawan_tejwani | *errors | 06:34 |
| sivik | I added some repos via ppa and when I run sudo apt-get update, they get ignored. How do I figure out why they are being ignored? | 06:34 |
| Morpheme | "Nautilus has MTP support with gphoto2:// URIs." | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: how did you add the ppa? | 06:35 |
| xtgyal | its installed | 06:35 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name with that command but with the right user and ppa name | 06:35 |
| sivik | and then it added the key | 06:35 |
| xtgyal | I don't see it in Nautilus though | 06:35 |
| Morpheme | "Rhythmbox has MTP support through libmtp." | 06:35 |
| xtgyal | libmtp? | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: sweet sounds good. We assume the ppa also supports your release | 06:36 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, Yes. | 06:36 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, I even got it to tell me the speific stuff for 11.10 | 06:36 |
| xtgyal | it says it is installed already | 06:37 |
| Morpheme | xtgyal, open a terminal: sudo mtpfs /mnt (or where you want) | 06:37 |
| Morpheme | or without sudo, if your user is in 'fuse' group | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: then: apt-cache policy packagename should show the ppa (change packagename for one from the ppa) | 06:37 |

| xtgyal | "Portable Players - MTP" is installed on the Rhythmbox plugins | 06:37 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, when I run apt-get update, it ign the repo | 06:37 |
| Morpheme | xtgyal, ;D | 06:37 |
| xtgyal | ok what does /mnt do? | 06:38 |
| xtgyal | mounts the MP3 player? | 06:38 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/Ag5bJz8G | 06:38 |
| Morpheme | no, mtpfs mount the MP3 player, "/mnt" is the mountpoint | 06:38 |
| prince_jammys | xtgyal: /mnt is an example mount point, a directory where the files will get mounted. | 06:38 |
| xtgyal | ok I just did it | 06:38 |
| Calinou | sivik: have you correctly entered the right key? | 06:38 |
| xtgyal | looks like nothing happened? | 06:38 |
| Calinou | you can add key by hand, this may be needed | 06:39 |
| Morpheme | now, let's open in Nautilus: /mnt | 06:39 |
| prince_jammys | go to /mnt and see what's there. | 06:39 |
| xtgyal | yes it says I don't have permission | 06:39 |
| gh0strider | does anyone know how to reset the bu-353 back to its default settings? | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | xtgyal: its a folder you can use to mount stuff, either the folder itself or manually created subfolders | 06:39 |
| Morpheme | uhm | 06:39 |
| carolos | can somebody help me with restoring grub in ubuntu oneiric? | 06:39 |
| xtgyal | should I do gksudo nautilus? | 06:39 |
| Morpheme | xtgyal, in terminal: ls /mnt | 06:39 |
| xtgyal | ok | 06:39 |
| xtgyal | cannot access, permission denied | 06:40 |
| xtgyal | for ls /mnt | 06:40 |
| njathan | I referred 'Method 3' in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent , but while booting through USB, i get the error - "isolinux.bin is missing or corrupt" . Any ideas? | 06:40 |
| Morpheme | with sudo sorry | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: have you contacted the ppa maintainer? | 06:40 |
| Morpheme | if you see your MP3 folder / music we can go on | 06:40 |
| xtgyal | its doing something | 06:40 |
| ok_wait | carolos, copy the output of 'sudo grub-mkconfig' to your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file | 06:40 |
| xtgyal | hopefully not trying to list 4 gigabytes of files... | 06:40 |
| Morpheme | with 'sudo ls /mnt'?? :x | 06:41 |
| carolos | ok_wait I'm using sudo update-grub | 06:41 |
| xtgyal | yes its still working | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | carolos: omgubuntu has a how to on reinstating grub using a chroot from live usb or cx | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Cd | 06:41 |
| xtgyal | I did "sudo ls /mnt" | 06:41 |
| xtgyal | nothing is happening, but it hasn't opened up a new line in Terminal | 06:41 |
| Morpheme | uhm | 06:42 |
| Morpheme | maybe you need to close rhytmbox | 06:42 |
| xtgyal | hm ok | 06:42 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, weird thing is, thats not the only repository igned | 06:42 |
| xtgyal | oh ok | 06:42 |

| sivik | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/Pk2zb9q5 | 06:43 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: you added it correctly, you should see an aptly (pun intended) named file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 06:43 |
| xtgyal | yeah cool thanx! :-) | 06:43 |
| carolos | ok_wait "sudo grub-mkconfig" gives the same error message as "sudo update-grub" the error is "cannot find device for /" | 06:43 |
| _NeshaD_ | !seen hah | 06:43 |

| sivik | ActionParsnip, yes, its there | 06:44 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, so why is it being ign? | 06:44 |
| Morpheme | xtgyal, ?? | 06:44 |
| sivik | along with other ones | 06:44 |
| xtgyal | it doesn't display any of the MP3 files, just the player's config files | 06:44 |
| Morpheme | LOL | 06:44 |
| xtgyal | you don't think it was formatted somehow? | 06:44 |
| sivik | ActionParsnip, nvm, i'm dumb, the package i'm looking for is there | 06:44 |
| Morpheme | impossibile | 06:45 |
| xtgyal | well nothing is here except the default folders and a config file | 06:45 |
| xtgyal | no music | 06:45 |

| Morpheme | omg | 06:48 |
| xtgyal | they should all be in the main directory | 06:48 |
| grendal-prime | all i need to do is take my desktop and copy it to a flash file that can be displayerd on a web page | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: no need to ru | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sivik: run that then ;-) | 06:48 |
| grendal-prime | like vnc capture what is happening...so i can do a damn presentation with it.. | 06:48 |
| grendal-prime | like team viewer but without the 800 buck bill | 06:48 |
| xtgyal | what is "transport endpoint not connected" mean? | 06:49 |
| xtgyal | its plugged in | 06:49 |
| xtgyal | the player says "USB connected: MTP" | 06:49 |
| prince_jammys | xtgyal: i'd slow down and check out https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/music-portable.html | 06:49 |

| almoxarife | xtgyal: may i suggest you install 'qlix' , then unplug and replugin your device, start 'qlix' see if the device is found | 06:50 |
| xtgyal | yes I have all that | 06:50 |
| prince_jammys | xtgyal: well, at least to check if you've carried out all the steps. | 06:50 |
| xtgyal | Rhythmbox plays and reads the files fine | 06:50 |
| xtgyal | I can't access them in Nautilus | 06:50 |
| grendal-prime | rhythembox is the bomb | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: omgubuntu have a piece on a new desktop recording app | 06:51 |
| xtgyal | lol I'm not too fond | 06:51 |
| almoxarife | xtgyal: yes, it has mtp support, question is can you use it to do what you are wanting to do | 06:51 |
| xtgyal | I can try again | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Deadbeef is the daddy | 06:51 |
| xtgyal | it was blocking Nautilus earlier | 06:51 |
| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, that a website...or a twater | 06:51 |
| grendal-prime | hehehe | 06:51 |
| grendal-prime | sorry fat finger | 06:51 |

| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: i call it the same ;-) | 06:52 |
| faux_sho | xtgyal: when you're playing a song have you tried going to Music>Properties to see where the file is? | 06:52 |
| xtgyal | the player showed up in media/ but it won't display the MP3 files | 06:53 |
| almoxarife | xtgyal: may i suggest you install 'qlix' , then unplug and replugin your device, start 'qlix' see if the device is found | 06:53 |
| gh0strider | well i want to thank everyone who tried to help me... | 06:53 |
| gh0strider | i guess i am going to fail my school project.. | 06:53 |
| gh0strider | which is going to drop my gpa | 06:53 |
| almoxarife | gh0strider: sad :( | 06:53 |
| gh0strider | which means i am going to loose my finanical aid... | 06:53 |

| ubottu | qlix (source: qlix): Manage MTP devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.6-0ubuntu3 (oneiric), package size 312 kB, installed size 768 kB | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | xtgyal: is there a switch on the device to set it to 'disk mode' or similar, so OSes see it as a USB storage device | 06:55 |
| xtgyal | hmmm maybe but I don't think so, it's kinda old | 06:55 |
| xtgyal | ok Rhythmbox found it again | 06:55 |
| xtgyal | just took a while | 06:55 |
| almoxarife | xtgyal: unless you just love the cli version of getting anything done, cause if thats true you would hate it, its a gui | 06:55 |
| xtgyal | I do Ctrl+A select Send To but that does nothing | 06:56 |
| rex_ryans_ass | i have windows and ubuntu installed. i would like to reinstall windows, but i think this means ill have to reinstall ubuntu which i would prefer not to do, since it is setup exactly how i like. whats my best option? | 06:56 |
| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, i see something but there is no download link | 06:56 |
| xtgyal | so I need to install Qlix to see the MP3 files in Nautilus? | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | rex_ryans_ass: you'd just need to reinstate grub. I assume you didn't use wubi | 06:56 |
| grendal-prime | https://launchpad.net/eidete | 06:56 |
| grendal-prime | is that what you spake of? | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: afaik there is a ppa | 06:57 |
| grendal-prime | ya i found it...im running 10.04 on all this stuff though | 06:58 |
| grendal-prime | grrr | 06:58 |
| carolos | sudo update-grub and sudo grub-mkconfig ask if /dev is mounted. the ubuntu oneiric partition is mounted. what should I do? | 06:58 |
| grendal-prime | team viewer does what i need | 06:58 |
| grendal-prime | but damn its steep in price | 06:58 |
| xtgyal | installing Qlix | 06:58 |
| xtgyal | @grendal-prime there's plenty of free alternatives to TeamViewer | 06:59 |
| grendal-prime | really | 06:59 |
| xtgyal | what are you trying to do? | 06:59 |
| damno | can I have sunJava and open JDK installed @ the same time? | 06:59 |
| almoxarife | xtgyal: perhaps, but teamplayer works, and it is free for 'personal' use | 06:59 |
| xtgyal | its the same thing as remote desktop yes? | 06:59 |
| grendal-prime | i just need to take my desktop and make it available (via a web browser) to several people | 06:59 |
| grendal-prime | just so the can see it | 07:00 |
| almoxarife | xtgyal: nope, remote desktop has to get thru a firewall | 07:00 |
| grendal-prime | they will have no control of it | 07:00 |
| xtgyal | oh you want to broadcast what is displayed on your desktop as a video? | 07:00 |
| ponrajuganesh | I have got a .war file, how to deploy that in ubutnu | 07:00 |
| ponrajuganesh | ? | 07:00 |

| nitinab | peole .. i really can't get the tracker desktop search thing to work on my machine, i have tried a few things , but to no avail. anyone using it ? | 07:00 |
| xtgyal | you can do that, just search for encoders on software center | 07:00 |
| nitinab | *people | 07:00 |
| almoxarife | grendal-prime: look at chrome-remote-desktop | 07:00 |
| Guest6596 | hi | 07:00 |
| xtgyal | MS Expression Encoder is free on Windows | 07:00 |
| xtgyal | so is MS Windows Encoder | 07:01 |
| grendal-prime | whats windows? | 07:01 |
| damno | someone? | 07:01 |
| damno | :| | 07:01 |
| xtgyal | lol | 07:01 |
| grendal-prime | havent used that in like 10 years literally | 07:01 |
| Guest6596 | :) | 07:01 |
| xtgyal | yeah but there's a bunch of free alternatives | 07:01 |
| xtgyal | for Linux | 07:01 |
| xtgyal | just search for encoders, I was looking at them earlier today actuall | 07:01 |
| xtgyal | *y | 07:02 |
| xtgyal | at least one of them should be able to encode & broadcast | 07:02 |

| nitinab | bullgard6: you can just use backspace in nautilus to go to the parent folder | 07:04 |
| Guest6596 | thanks | 07:04 |
| prince_jammys | Guest6596: welcome. That's probably the problem. | 07:04 |
| xtgyal | ok I'm in Qlix, see if this works | 07:04 |
| grendal-prime | xtgyal, here is the problem...i got about 30 machines servers...some desktops mostly ubuntu..some debian i log into them and i have to show managennt, dev, qa people what is happening on them..the use windows..mac..linux...beos(ya no shit) ..anyway i need the simplest browser based...'here is what is on my desktop now do you see this carzy stuff" package | 07:04 |
| almoxarife | xtgyal: unplug the device and plug it back in | 07:05 |
| xrfang | hi, in which directory are the answers to questions asked during package installation (apt-get or dpkg) stored? | 07:05 |

| xtgyal | ok | 07:05 |
| pegler | hi all. I have an ubuntu 10.10 box that keeps losing its internet connection. from the logs, a program named os-prober runs consistently right before the box "crashes". I am not 100% sure what exactly is happening when the box loses connection though. from my googling os-prober is for grub2. is disabling it as simple as editing /etc/default/grub? is there something I need to restart? | 07:05 |
| calmpitbull | is there anyway to change unity launch Animation with my animation | 07:05 |
| grendal-prime | actually we have one productct that has 60000 nodes | 07:05 |
| grendal-prime | sorry 6000 | 07:05 |
| xtgyal | yeah you just need a Linux equivalent of MS Expression Encoder | 07:06 |
| grendal-prime | you talking to me? | 07:06 |
| xtgyal | do a search of like SourceForge for desktop encoders | 07:06 |
| xtgyal | or just encoders in general | 07:06 |
| leontopod | what does ms expression encoder actually do? | 07:06 |
| almoxarife | !who | 07:06 |

| grendal-prime | ive tried several cocktails of vlc streaming to a file and then connecting a web server to it.. | 07:07 |
| grendal-prime | it was just to slow... | 07:07 |
| grendal-prime | broke | 07:07 |
| almoxarife | !who | 07:07 |
| xtgyal | it does a lot, you can encode whatever is on your desktop (audiovideo plus microphone input) or just a single window as an audio/video file or as a live broadcast | 07:07 |
| grendal-prime | sounds like wink | 07:07 |
| grendal-prime | wich i like just no..live broadcast | 07:07 |
| xtgyal | so viewers can tune in on their media player and watch live what you're doing, including mouse movements and whatever is playing on the sound mixer | 07:08 |
| grendal-prime | wink is the bomb (just no 64 bit yet) | 07:08 |
| xtgyal | the MS Expression Suite is free for students on MS DreamSpark but you'd have to run it in Wine and it'd probably be way too buggy and you couldn't record much | 07:09 |
| grendal-prime | ya but xtgyal see...that mac people and the linux dev'ers whould not have media player | 07:09 |
| xtgyal | there should be an open-source version though | 07:09 |
| almoxarife | xtgyal: get off the spamming | 07:09 |
| xtgyal | it's a pretty common task | 07:09 |
| bullgard6 | nitinab: So pressing Bcksp and Alt+Up are equivalent? | 07:09 |
| almoxarife | bullgard6: look in 'go' | 07:10 |
| xtgyal | well any media player than can open a media stream | 07:10 |
| xtgyal | most can nowadays | 07:10 |
| grendal-prime | xtgyal, everybody says that but ive yet to see it in roduction | 07:10 |
| grendal-prime | production that is | 07:10 |
| bullgard6 | almoxarife: Yes, it works. Thank you very much for your help. | 07:10 |
| xtgyal | I've used it before when I had Windows, it worked pretty well | 07:11 |
| xtgyal | I haven't tried anything here yet, I'm very new to Linux | 07:11 |

| JonathanRW | is there anyone around that has expierence with Kerrighed clusters and ubuntu? i'm looking to be pointed to some info about what you can do with it, building a 10 node cluster just to learn and play with it, but what can i do with it once its setup and running? | 07:14 |
| xtgyal | ok when I reconnected the player it popped up in Nautilus, same just the config files and no MP3s though | 07:14 |
| xtgyal | gonna close and try Qlix | 07:14 |
| almoxarife | xtgyal: no need for the blow by blow | 07:15 |
| grendal-prime | looking again...looks liek it has changed some | 07:15 |
| grendal-prime | ill check it out thanks milamber | 07:15 |

| paulus68 | I have added a new hd to my server how do I format it to be an ntfs Note(that I already tried several options however the file system it's mentioning is still linux when entering the command sudo fdisk -l | 07:17 |
| carolos | after doing chroot in ubuntu oneiric, should I do grub-install /dev/sda or update-grub? | 07:18 |
| Seveas | paulus68, what fdisk thinks the partition is and the filesystem that's formatted onto it are two different things unfortunately | 07:18 |
| sathish_ | collab.net | 07:18 |
| xtgyal | awesome! it's working, transferring now, thanks!!! :_D | 07:19 |
| xtgyal | *:-D | 07:19 |
| Seveas | paulus68, and for a linux server I'd format it as ext4, not ntfs | 07:19 |
| svaisane | hi | 07:19 |
| paulus68 | Seveas: is this drive then also available for window users? | 07:20 |
| sathish_ | quit | 07:20 |
| paulus68 | Seveas: that's the reason I wanted to have it in ntfs | 07:20 |
| grendal-prime | ya this is considerably more versatile than the last time i looked at this | 07:20 |
| grendal-prime | thanks man this may just do it | 07:20 |
| Seveas | paulus68, how would windows users access it? Over the network or rebooting into windows? | 07:20 |
| svaisane | iäm trying to get NFS mounting to work, what log file should i look for the diagnostic smessage on the server? | 07:20 |
| svaisane | i have ubuntu latest | 07:20 |
| paulus68 | Seveas: over the network | 07:21 |
| Seveas | svaisane, /var/log/syslog | 07:21 |
| svaisane | Seveas: nothing there from NFS | 07:21 |
| Seveas | paulus68, then the local filesystem does not matter. Samba is what you need :) | 07:21 |
| Seveas | svaisane, then look on the client | 07:21 |
| svaisane | Seveas: cannot | 07:21 |
| Seveas | svaisane, well, then it's impossible for us to help | 07:22 |
| paulus68 | Seveas: I agree with you there just wanted to be certain that ext4 is not a problem for the window users | 07:22 |
| svaisane | actually i'm just testing now, iä'm trying to mount locally | 07:22 |
| svaisane | the serer is the same machine as the client | 07:22 |
| JonathanRW | is there anyone around that has expierence with Kerrighed clusters and ubuntu? | 07:23 |
| svaisane | i get access denied | 07:24 |
| svaisane | but syslog has no new entries | 07:24 |
| svaisane | *sigh* | 07:24 |
| svaisane | so there's no log entry to diagnose? | 07:27 |
| Seveas | svaisane, if you get permission denied, look at /etc/exports, you may be missing 127.0.0.1 | 07:28 |
| Seveas | though I've never tried nfs to localhost before. It may just refuse that anyway. | 07:28 |
| svaisane | no it doesnt | 07:28 |
| svaisane | when it works it works over local link as well no problem | 07:28 |
| svaisane | fucking pos | 07:31 |
| aBound | svaisane, What's wrong? | 07:33 |
| JonathanRW | anyone here know anything about smp clusters? | 07:34 |
| svaisane | aBound: struggling with NFS, trying to export a fs and mount it locally. just get "permission denied" nothing in syslog | 07:35 |
| JonathanRW | svaisane you try samba? or you using samba? | 07:36 |
| svaisane | JonathanRW: its not an option | 07:37 |
| aBound | svaisane, Have you tried with sudo or with logging in as root? | 07:39 |
| svaisane | only sudo can mount | 07:39 |
| aBound | Sudo somewhat acts as a temp root. | 07:40 |
| svaisane | same privileges | 07:40 |
| aBound | svaisane, Have you tried changing the permissions on the file or what have you. chmod +x <filename> without the arrows. | 07:40 |
| === batman is now known as Guest38166 | ||
| svaisane | aBound: nfs exports the file system as is, it should still mount fine | 07:41 |
| === Guest38166 is now known as batmann | ||

| intok | there anything for linux like Toast that will let me drag a bunch of random video files into it, tell it I want it to make it a simple single layer DVD and it'll just go ahead and transcode from whatever to mpeg2 and burn the disc automegically? | 08:06 |
| svaisane | intok: and also make coffee? | 08:06 |
| JLuc | Hello | 08:06 |
| iceroot | intok: i guess "k3b" can do that | 08:07 |
| dagerik | In which file is PPA's added? | 08:08 |
| iceroot | intok: its a burning application for kde, which also can be used on gnome/unity and so on. if i am correct there is an option like that | 08:08 |
| intok | svaisane is it really too much to ask for any of the OSS burning software to tie into FFMPEG? I've been able to do that on my old Mac for as long as I can remember, oldest version of Toast Titanium I have is 6, and it does it just fine | 08:08 |
| iceroot | dagerik: /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:08 |
| iceroot | dagerik: if not, use "grep -r ppa-searchstring /etc/apt/* | 08:08 |
| dagerik | iceroot: Nope, cannot find mine which is causing a 404 | 08:08 |
| JLuc | it happens irregularly that the application switcher disappear : 1) pressing Windows Key doesnt launch anayting (nothing happen) , and 2) no application bar appear when ALT TAB, i have to choose blindly, trying one, 2, 3, 4 presses until the right app is selected. Plz How to cure or avoid this deadlock to happen ? | 08:09 |
| JLuc | On oneiric | 08:09 |
| dagerik | iceroot: Yes thanks. It was inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/<here> | 08:09 |
| detrix42 | flintwingel: thanks again very very much | 08:10 |

| NSQ | hello, i'm using ubuntu for almost 1 year now, just curious, is there a way to donate to the "ubuntu guys" that not getting paid for? | 08:39 |
| Krissed | Good morning. Question: Is there a particular reason i cant append a line to /etc/skel/.profile even when using sudo ?? | 08:39 |
| slikts | agus_sintang: tell me how to find the full path of search results in nautilus | 08:40 |
| agus_sintang | slikts: Ctrl + F for basic ehm, yo want to get full path | 08:40 |
| agus_sintang | hehe | 08:40 |
| agus_sintang | :) | 08:40 |
| Krissed | im attempting this: sudo echo "echo smb:\\path to some windows share >> .gtk-bookmarks" >> /etc/skel/.profile | 08:40 |
| slikts | agus_sintang: what? | 08:40 |
| leontopod | sudo vim | 08:41 |
| Myrtti | NSQ: you can donate to some upstream developers... | 08:41 |
| dagerik | pnorman: thanks, I got it! | 08:41 |
| agus_sintang | slikts: Ctrl + F and then type ".extension" | 08:41 |
| Myrtti | Krissed: you may want to use "tee" instead of >> or | | 08:42 |
| slikts | agus_sintang: do you even understand the question? I know how to ctrl+f, but when I have the results, it doesn't show the path of the results even in the properties dialog | 08:42 |
| pnorman | dagerik: When debugging ssh keys I find it's helpful to leave a connection open and try to open a second connection, to avoid locking yourself out | 08:42 |
| slikts | I have to open each individual result and look at the path from there | 08:42 |
| agus_sintang | weh, it's should show "properties" if right-click | 08:43 |
| slikts | agus_sintang: yes, and in the properties the path is TRUNCATED | 08:43 |
| Krissed | Myrtti hmm well since i just rememberd i altered sudoers file i suppose i should reboot before trying this first.. i tried making an empty file in the skel folder and see if i could append the line to that file. i couldnt | 08:43 |
| agus_sintang | owh, oke slikts | 08:43 |
| onre | Krissed, you certainly do not need to reboot. your problem is that the redirection happens in the normal user's shell, as in, sudo only affects the command before the redirection. | 08:44 |
| onre | Krissed, use sudo -s to get a root shell, then run your echo thing | 08:44 |
| Krissed | onre im trying to make instructions to configure a special version of ubuntu 11.10 so i need this to be as inactive as possible. | 08:45 |
| === yann_ is now known as aya | ||
| Krissed | basicly i just want a string added to the file | 08:45 |
| onre | Krissed, then you might try sudo "echo ... >> file" | 08:45 |
| Krissed | hmm ok ill try that | 08:46 |
| onre | Krissed, as i stated earlier, the problem is that sudo command >> file only runs the command as root. >> file "happens" as normal user. | 08:46 |
| Krissed | ahh like that.. ok | 08:46 |
| iceroot | Krissed: sudo echo foo > bar is not working, you have to use "tee" | 08:46 |
| iceroot | Krissed: because sudo is acting on "echo" not on ">" | 08:46 |
| Krissed | i was just afraid it would get messed up when it sees two echo commands | 08:46 |
| Krissed | ok thanks ill give it a try | 08:46 |
| onre | iceroot, how would pipe and tee make it any different? of course, unless you did echo something | sudo tee file | 08:47 |
| === ek23 is now known as lioman | ||

| mikel | better than lesbian porn | 08:53 |
| iceroot | Krissed: i am not telling you to use that command | 08:53 |
| anli_ | It wasnt like that before, anyone that knows why? | 08:53 |
| Guest36393 | Well I mean besides just googling tertl5 | 08:54 |
| Krissed | iceroot its a bit tricky as im attempting to parse a command to a file so it adds a command to the file.. im afraid its getting confused as im parsing a command into a command | 08:54 |
| iceroot | Krissed: i am telling you to use "echo "foobar" | sudo tee -a filename | 08:54 |

| Myrtti | iceroot, slikts: please take your personal quarrel elsewhere | 09:07 |
| wiggmpk | slikts: actually, the / is entering commands that Pidgin doesnt understand unless you add the plugin (so technically it would work in Pidgin) | 09:07 |
| ubunteiro-novato | 1st step was great, thank. but i dont know how to use it. nay program i can test it? | 09:07 |

| irc-free | hi all | 09:08 |
| stewarf | hi | 09:08 |
| wiggmpk | slikts: that plugin is called "/exec 2.6.3" | 09:08 |
| irc-free | is this the # on ubuntu software center? | 09:08 |
| irc-free | im interested in applying | 09:09 |
| slikts | wiggmpk: I can live without commands since it's gui, but thanks | 09:09 |
| irc-free | does ubuntu software center allow games that run on an emultaor? | 09:10 |
| wiggmpk | ubunteiro-novato: unfortunately thats not enough information, if you open the terminal "ALT + F2" then type gnome-terminal and enter, type "lsusb" and look for your webcam to be listed | 09:10 |

| ian_ | supermeatboy-linux-12132011b-bin.vol001+02 form humble indie | 09:12 |
| wiggmpk | ubunteiro-novato: it might not be obvious what device is your webcam, because the manufacturor can list it how they see fit, for instance, my asus laptop internal webcam is listed as Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04f2:b106 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd | 09:13 |
| Cplusminus | is the lib extension on linux .lib like librarya.lib or .a librayb.a ? | 09:13 |

| ubunteiro-novato | wiggmpk, i have opened cheese, for instanc, and dinidt recognize any webcam | 09:15 |

| flintwingel | ian_: not sure what you mean by "board" | 09:19 |

| tertl5 | MS Office | 09:26 |
| Myrtti | makara: what's wrong with Libreoffice that you need to replace it? | 09:27 |
| ian_ | hi? | 09:27 |
| DJones | !hi | ian_ | 09:28 |
| [deXter] | makara, Try AbiWord; although I'm not 100% sure it handles Indic fonts | 09:28 |
| makara | Myrtti: Large documents without carriage returns in Indian fonts become impossible to edit | 09:28 |
| flintwingel | ian_: it looks like its part of a PAR2 archive. this is a series of files that need to be unpacked as a whole. You need to find the first file in the series and unpack. You may need to install the par2 utility and possibly pypar2 if you want a graphical front end | 09:28 |
| [deXter] | makara, On an average though I find that it renders word documents better than LO | 09:28 |

| Snake1 | rids: exactly what i want, BUT. i know i am in the wrong channel because im having trouble to do so whit my CentOS server | 09:31 |
| [deXter] | makara, Hmm, well you could try KingSoft Office then, it's the best thirdpart Word compatible package I know of though. It's not free however | 09:31 |
| Snake1 | rids: but do you know an easy step of acomplish that, the thing i want is. Centos-5-Addons-x86_64.repo | 09:32 |
| Snake1 | nothing else | 09:32 |
| AlanBell | Snake1: you want to mirror an Ubuntu repo onto a centos server? | 09:32 |

This is sudden because out of the blue, eog stopped working. Apparently it uninstalled itself, so this is why I am reinstalling it. Suggestions? | 09:34 |
| AlanBell | Snake1: ask in #centos I guess, or an RPM based distro at any rate | 09:34 |
| rids | Snake1:you can do this rsync -rltpHS --delete-excluded rsync://name of mirror/ /you home dir/ | 09:34 |
| ian_ | Can't open ./supermeatboy-linux-12132011b-bin oh well | 09:34 |
| flintwingel | Snake1: wget will allow you recursively download a website, including a repo. Check the man page first... it's got lots of options | 09:34 |
| Snake1 | rids: do you know if this is an valid mirror, http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/centos/5.7/addons/x86_64/ | 09:34 |

| Starminn | OH goodness. Alright, running Ubuntu 11.10. The font color was off, so I ran unity --replace. This created multiple instances of Unity overlaying each other. So I said screw it and ran "unity --reset." Now the font still isn't fixed, I've lost all my settings( which is my own fault), and now my background won't change either, and of course this happens as I'm going to bed.

| diverdude | ikonia, where? | 10:36 |
| Starminn | suppl, Is that directed to me? | 10:36 |
| suppl | yes. | 10:36 |
| ikonia | diverdude: depends what sort of thing you are looking for, but the syslog captures most of the startup | 10:37 |
| DragonSlay | !who | 10:37 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 10:37 |
| Starminn | suppl, No errors. Just a lack of action | 10:37 |
| diverdude | ikonia, ok... different servers and daemons etc. are initiated at startup, and they fail and send error messages and i need to debug it | 10:37 |
| ikonia | diverdude: what's failing | 10:38 |
| diverdude | ikonia, something i have installed. Its not core ubuntu | 10:38 |
| ikonia | diverdude: ok - so tell me what's failing | 10:38 |
| diverdude | ikonia, well its gitorious | 10:38 |
| ikonia | diverdude: that's a gui as far as I know | 10:39 |
| Guest23607 | d:/mirc emule/load -rs GlobalFind.mrc | 10:39 |
| diverdude | ikonia, and sphinxx server | 10:39 |
| diverdude | ikonia, yes it is | 10:39 |
| diverdude | sphinx server | 10:39 |
| ikonia | diverdude: ok - so a gui won't start at boot up, so I'm not sure why you are expecting a gui to be lauched as part of the boot sequence | 10:39 |
| ikonia | diverdude: ok, so first question. 1.) how did you install sphinx | 10:40 |
| diverdude | ikonia, well its using some scripts at bootup that fails | 10:40 |
| diverdude | ikonia, sudo apt-get install sphinxserver | 10:40 |
| ikonia | diverdude: ok, what repo did it come from ? | 10:40 |
| ikonia | !info sphinxserver | 10:40 |
| ubottu | Package sphinxserver does not exist in oneiric | 10:40 |
| diverdude | ikonia, the default. i did not add any ppa | 10:40 |
| Octav | . | 10:40 |
| diverdude | ikonia, its a v. 10.10 | 10:41 |
| diverdude | ubuntu 10.10 | 10:41 |
| diverdude | servered | 10:41 |
| ikonia | diverdude: ok, can you start the sphinxserver manually ? | 10:41 |
| diverdude | ikonia, hmmm good question. i think i can but i am not sure how | 10:42 |
| ikonia | diverdude: ok - so this is what you need to check | 10:42 |
| ikonia | diverdude: that will give you information on any problems/errors | 10:42 |
| ikonia | diverdude: you should also see the server trying to start in the syslog | 10:42 |

| ikonia | diverdude: that's not what I said | 10:43 |
| diverdude | ikonia, no it was just an information | 10:43 |
| ikonia | diverdude: I said you need to manually start it to test it, and you can also check the syslog to see it start | 10:43 |
| diverdude | ikonia, where do i see the syslog? | 10:44 |
| ikonia | diverdude: /var/log | 10:44 |
| ikonia | diverdude: when you boot the machine, you should also see it try to start it, do you see it then ? | 10:44 |
| diverdude | ikonia, yeah i do...it squirts out lots of messsages but it goes away again to quick. thats why i waanted to log it | 10:45 |
| ikonia | diverdude: ok, so try to start it manually is the best way forward | 10:46 |
| diverdude | ikonia, ahh /var/log/boot.log has the info | 10:46 |
| ikonia | that may not contain what you want | 10:46 |
| diverdude | ikonia, it has the errors i see at startup...at least the ones i can i remember i saw | 10:48 |
| diverdude | ikonia, git-demon script uses some depricated gems (its a ruby app) | 10:49 |
| ikonia | ok ? | 10:49 |

| SVNDR | Does anyone have a link the the best minimun requirements to run Ubuntu11.10 .. all i really find is RAM and HDD size.. but im trying to find a more detailed requirement page | 10:54 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: like? | 10:55 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: what else do you think is important? | 10:55 |
| erwt | i want to write an auto resolution program in the linux kernel ,for now my kernel 2.6.31 supports only one resolution 1024x768 ,i want to add multiple resolution formats in the kernel ,this is my screen .c file http://pastebin.com/rv9Mubf9, but before the above i want to know how ubuntu detects the multiple screen resolution and then chosses automatically | 10:55 |
| SVNDR | iceroot: like processes, and the speed, graphics card ect.. | 10:55 |
| dr_willis | best minimum.... is an odd term | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | !requirements | 10:56 |
| ubottu | Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu | 10:56 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: no special vga needed, minimum cpu is i586 | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: also the server install will need less than desktop initially. Depends what services you intend to run | 10:56 |
| iceroot | or was i586 dropped? | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | i believe i586 was dropped | 10:57 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: ok, every i686 cpu will work | 10:57 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: speed doesnt matter | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: if you have a PC which is less than about 7 years old, it will run well in most cases | 10:57 |
| SVNDR | ActionParsnip: i have seen that once.. im looking for more though.. or is that pretty much it.. because i have better then all them specs, yet Ubuntu really doesnt run well | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: what do you have in the way of CPU/RAM and video chip? | 10:58 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: why not ask your real question? "why is my ubuntu slow" instead of "what minimum does ubuntu needs" | 10:58 |
| SVNDR | 1.6GHz, 3GB RAM, my graphics is intergrated.. | 10:59 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: what does not run well? what ubuntu version, what desktop | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: what chip is it? the output of: lspci | grep -i vga will tell you | 10:59 |
| SVNDR | iceroot: i have, like 10 times.. and ive tried. like 50 different things.. its not helping.. | 10:59 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: what is top telling? what is the output of "free -m" | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: is the system a laptop? | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | integrated still has a chipset | 11:00 |
| SVNDR | iceroot: Ubuntu11.10, and Ubuntu heats up my laptop to close to 80C sometimes.. it gets pretty laggy when switching pages.. umm theres another stuff but ive been over it before.. | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | hopefully it's not some SiS rubbish | 11:01 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: your system is getting slow because the cpu will underclock itself if getting to hot | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: in a termiinal run: lscpi | grep -i vga what is output? | 11:01 |
| SVNDR | Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller | 11:01 |
| iceroot | hope "underclock" is the correct word for it | 11:01 |
| SVNDR | iceroot: yea i know that.. and ive tried to fix the overheating, in so many ways.. with no good outcome.. not even an ounce of positive feedback | 11:02 |
| SVNDR | underclock sounds bout right | 11:02 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: but that info is important | 11:02 |
| farrukhjon | hi all! how get info about installed package for example path of installation...version etc. | 11:02 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: because that is the reason for your problems and not the amount of ram, the vga or something else | 11:02 |
| phoenix_firebrd | i am using the onboard intel gma x4500 graphics card. Google earths needs libgl.so, what is the package i need to install to get the libgl.so | 11:03 |
| iceroot | farrukhjon: dpkg -L packagename so see the paths | 11:03 |
| dr_willis | cleaned the fans and hestsinks lately? | 11:03 |
| iceroot | farrukhjon: apt-cache policy packagename to get the versions | 11:03 |
| farrukhjon | iceroot: now try it... -) | 11:03 |
| SVNDR | dr_willis: new heatsink installed like 2 days ago.. also applied thermal paste to the cpu, fans are clean as a whisle | 11:03 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: please install lmsensors | 11:04 |
| SVNDR | And its not my laptop thats over heating, its Ubuntu over heating my laptop.. windows rans cool, at about 30C | 11:04 |
| dr_willis | external fans :) | 11:04 |
| iceroot | !sensors | SVNDR | 11:04 |
| ubottu | SVNDR: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 11:04 |

| Pumpkin- | /win 33 | 11:04 |
| Pumpkin- | aojfafj | 11:04 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: the problem (and i thinkg i already told that to you some days ago) is... that your OS cant detect the hardware correctly, e.g. temp, fanspeed and so on and because of that its not running the fan (correctly) | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: is the system a laptop or desktop ? | 11:05 |

| ActionParsnip | farrukhjon: apt-cache policy packagename will show the installed and available versions | 11:05 |
| SVNDR | iceroot: what do you mean you told me that?? | 11:05 |
| farrukhjon | iceroot: thanks for help :) | 11:05 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: i am sure we already talked about your issie | 11:05 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: and i named you the exact reason | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | farrukhjon: the path is fairly irrelevant, all you need is the binary to launch the app which you can see with: which command e.g. which gedit | 11:06 |
| SVNDR | iceroot: yes we have, and iive talked to about 10 other people also.. and ive tried almost everything thats been suggested | 11:06 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: your OS (ubuntu) cant read the hardware-infos correclty and because of that its failing at adjusting the cpu-speed and fan-speed | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: do you have the latest BIOS? | 11:06 |
| dr_willis | dry ice. ;) | 11:07 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: new bios and/or new kernel is a possible solution | 11:07 |
| lorddelta | I've tried NetworkManager, ad-hoc network, security WPA/WPA2. It "associates", i can run wpa_cli and see that its "connected", but I can't seem to get any computers running on said network to speak to one another... | 11:07 |
| SVNDR | iceroot: just lmsensors cant detect it.. im pretty sure ice ramped up the RPM but changing something in a conf file somehwhere.. cant remember what now though | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: what make and model is the system (if it has one) | 11:07 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: what? | 11:07 |
| lorddelta | Works fine without encryption. | 11:07 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: rpm? | 11:07 |
| dr_willis | 12.04 should help from what ive read with power issues. | 11:07 |
| iceroot | SVNDR: you installed rpm-files? | 11:07 |
| SVNDR | iceroot: ive got the latest BIOS for my system, and it doesnt show anything about fan control either | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | SVNDR: what make and model is the system (if it has one) | 11:08 |
| SVNDR | iceroot: im not sure, this was like a week or two ago.. | 11:08 |
| lorddelta | I'd ask about this in networking, except it seems to me the problem is wpa_supplicant/NetworkManager/the state of linux wireless drivers... | 11:08 |

| lorddelta | If no one knows I suppose the next thing would be to file a bug/look into ubuntu's kernel? | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: how is precise going for you? | 11:10 |
| JLuc | !notunity | 11:10 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 11:10 |

In order to use it as a DNS server on our LAN, I had to configure my laptop's /etc/resolv.conf to include the server's IP address as a nameserver. All was working fine until I rebooted my laptop. It seems /etc/resolv.conf has been re-written again. How do I ensure that my LAN server stays in there as a nameserver? Thanks | 11:26 |

| AaisleE | hey.. i am following the steps here "http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/how-to-install-gnome-shell-themes-in-ubuntu-11-10/" to use a downloaded gnome theme. For some reason in my advanced settings under shell extensions there is no options in the window. Also under theme next to the shell theme drop down there is an orange triangle with an ! in it. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Sorry its my first day on linux | 12:44 |
| zx81 | i have a problem with my sound config, all is done (but after 10 min using microphone the sound made crunch and the sound will stop) have you an idea ??? | 12:45 |
| glebihan | AaisleE, that means you're not running gnome-shell (but probably unity, the default) | 12:45 |
| AaisleE | glebihan, before I logged in I chose the settings then gnome. wouldn't that mean i am running gnome? | 12:46 |
| rileyp | iceroot are you involved in ubuntu tv | 12:47 |
| MonkeyDust | zx81 in a terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM somehere, type m | 12:47 |
| glebihan | AaisleE, unity is gnome | 12:47 |
| AaisleE | glebihan, oh ok.. ill do a little more searching around thanks for the help | 12:47 |
| glebihan | AaisleE, unity is a shell that runs on top of gnome (just as gnome-shell does) | 12:47 |
| TeddyZ | hey guys, i'm looking to purchase a graphics card that works well on Unity 3D (11.10) ... i've got ATI options but i don't know if they work ... is there some place i can check if certain models work well or not ? | 12:48 |
| zx81 | MonkeyDust, all is right, | 12:48 |
| glebihan | AaisleE, by default gnome-shell isn't installed on ubuntu, so if you want to use it, you'll have to install it | 12:48 |
| rileyp | nvidia all the way with linux | 12:48 |
| rileyp | not ATI | 12:48 |
| werder | +1 for nvidiad | 12:49 |
| TeddyZ | rileyp: so ATI is a definite NO NO ? | 12:49 |
| IamTrying | From my Fedora i am connected with $ ssh -X ubuntuPC and when i start xclock it does not comes to my Fedora. I issued those but still not https://gist.github.com/1600317 how do i solve it? | 12:49 |
| glebihan | TeddyZ, depends, I prefer ATI | 12:49 |
| rileyp | esp if you want to take advantage of vidpau software decoding of 1080p material | 12:49 |
| AaisleE | glebihan, ok.. under the software center i searched gnome shell and found it. but it says remove instead of install so I take it i have it already installed? if so how do I choose it? | 12:49 |
| rileyp | yes nvidia is much better supported | 12:50 |
| werder | the nvidia blobs work better than the ati ones | 12:50 |
| zx81 | MonkeyDust my config sound is ok, but when i use Skype or Rec with Qjack ctl server its the same result, after 10 minutes the sound cut, ( how check that) | 12:50 |
| TeddyZ | rileyp: any nvidia works out of the box? | 12:50 |
| glebihan | AaisleE, it should there on the login screen | 12:50 |
| AaisleE | glebihan, ok im going to check. thanks a lot for the help i really appreciate it | 12:51 |
| glebihan | AaisleE, you're welcome | 12:51 |
| rileyp | all vid card work out of box nut one needs to install better than vesa driver an nvidia driver Follow a guide safest bet | 12:51 |
| werder | TeddyZ: it will work out of the box but you'll want to install the nvidia-current for a newish card | 12:52 |
| rileyp | You can point and click to install nvidia drivers though | 12:52 |
| werder | yup | 12:52 |
| rileyp | ati pull out hair try 3 times and get a black screen is the rule for most | 12:53 |
| gblah | Is it just me or is Ubuntu running very hot? Asus notebook. | 12:53 |
| TeddyZ | ok thnx guys.. any model recommendations? i need it to work on 4 monitors... price is not an issue | 12:53 |
| rileyp | new users of ubuntu and using an ati card | 12:53 |
| rileyp | well then if money no object you would be mad not to get nvidia | 12:54 |
| rileyp | for any linux install fullstop | 12:54 |
| TeddyZ | rileyp: ok i'm convinced :) i'm going for nvidia... just need find the correct model | 12:55 |

| dubey | hello | 13:25 |
| Urchin | hi | 13:25 |

| dubey | i want to run a script when user logout. So i wrote a script and add a line in .bash_logout file, But when i tried to exit, the script is not getting executed | 13:25 |

| g[r]eek | Hi guys. I'm using the package resolvconf to include our LAN server's IP address in the list of nameservers. This nameserver is configured in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head. Now the problem we're having is that while all requests to the LAN server are very fast, requests to the outside internet are taking forever to resolve. That's because our ADSL router's dynamically assigned nameservers are being placed after our LAN server's IP in /etc/resolv.conf. | 13:28 |
| g[r]eek | And of course if we swap them around (ie: put the LAN server's IP in resolvconf's tail file), the internet requests are quick but LAN requests are slow. Any idea how to solve this so that both are quick? Thanks | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dubey: yours will be lightdm as you are using Oneiric with Gnome more than likely, mine is lxdm as I use LXDE :) | 13:28 |
| dubey | Urchin: i am sing Ubuntu11.10 and there is no /etc/gdm | 13:28 |
| mint | werder: ok, i 1st booted from cd to make USB so i can copy that way | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | g[r]eek: use 8.8.8.8 as the secondary name server | 13:29 |
| dubey | ActionParsnip: no GUI | 13:29 |
| ikonia | g[r]eek: fix your name servers from the router | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dubey: I see, hmm | 13:29 |
| g[r]eek | ActionParsnip, woah? How come? | 13:29 |
| vreg | hi | 13:29 |
| werder | mint: well if you didn't put any personal data on the usb then remaking the live-usb with live-usb-creator or whatever you used is your best bet | 13:30 |
| g[r]eek | ikonia, what do you mean? | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | g[r]eek: its free to try | 13:30 |
| vreg | how do you get to the terminal on a livecd ubuntu? | 13:30 |
| ikonia | g[r]eek: you have a list of name server, some are you internal ones, some are you adsl ones | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dubey: ask in #ubuntu-server too | 13:30 |
| g[r]eek | ActionParsnip, no what I meant was why would that work? | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | g[r]eek: might be faster than the ones you have set | 13:30 |
| ikonia | g[r]eek: your internal ones are quick | 13:30 |
| ikonia | g[r]eek: stop the adsl router giving out it's name servers to clients, or fix the adsl's name server forwarding | 13:30 |
| werder | mint: its a lot easier and cleaner to redo the usb stick as that will clear out other problems the stick most probably has | 13:30 |
| vreg | i found the terminal once before | 13:30 |
| mint | so to restore from a backup, i'd copy over the other main file(s) | 13:30 |
| vreg | but i can't remember how now | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dubey: could add the script in the rc levels, may work | 13:31 |
| g[r]eek | ikonia, ok I see, thanks | 13:31 |
| llutz | g[r]eek: let your LANs namerserver proxy WAN-dns too, switch off routers dns-server | 13:31 |
| vreg | hmm | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | mint: your user datas and configs basically, the OS will be the sme | 13:31 |
| vreg | ctrl alt T | 13:31 |
| werder | mint: if you didn't put any personal files on the USB, just format it, then remake the live-USB | 13:32 |

| werder | vreg: ??? | 13:45 |
| vreg | it's in active development | 13:45 |
| vreg | -ish | 13:45 |
| vreg | it's part of syslinux | 13:45 |

| werder | vreg: well if you want it it's there | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | vreg: yes, then enable it in software centre | 13:47 |
| vreg | werder: so there's an option to the syslinux command? | 13:47 |

| Pici | vreg: as ActionParsnip has said a few times. | 13:48 |
| vreg | ... | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | vreg: its in the universe repo, you don't have that enabled so it won't appear as an available app | 13:48 |

| vreg | how do i enable universe | 13:49 |
| werder | vreg: being curious why do you need extlinux and not syslinux? | 13:49 |
| vreg | btw does ubuntu have the patch for extlinux that allows it to work on ext4 partitions? | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | vreg: in software centre, or you can uncomment the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list which have the word universe in them | 13:49 |
| vreg | werder: i'm going to boot from a usb stick | 13:49 |

The server has got one physical netowrk card, eth0, and a 'virtual' interface, ppp0, which is the VPN tunnel when it s active. When it s not, I can access the server just fine and services are responding on eth0. Do I need to configure services to also listen on the ppp0 interface somehow? | 13:50 |
| vreg | it's why i need extlinux specifially | 13:50 |
| ikonia | syslinux will do that | 13:50 |

| zx81 | iceroot what u want know | 14:26 |
| sameshitdiffday | i'm on ubuntu 11.10 and when one user mounts a (probably LUKS?-)encrypted partition, another user can see this partition too, which is kind of ... useless | 14:27 |
| sameshitdiffday | how do i get rid of ths behaviour? | 14:27 |
| iceroot | zx81: what ubuntu-version, what are you doing to freeze it, any errors? something usefull in /var/log/syslog | 14:27 |
| Guest25668 | zx81 I want to know how to change the permissions so I can access my files. | 14:27 |

| iceroot | sameshitdiffday: can he see the content of that partition? | 14:28 |
| sameshitdiffday | i was used to mount this specific encrypted disk with that special user, before | 14:28 |
| iceroot | sameshitdiffday: or access the content in any way? | 14:28 |

| sameshitdiffday | i can see it | 14:29 |
| iceroot | sameshitdiffday: so you have user A and user B, A is mounting the drive and B can see it. B can not see the drive when A is not mounting it | 14:29 |

I've tried using Nautilus under root in order to change permissions, but it seems I cannot. Any advice? How can I change the permissions? Do I have to reinstall PCLOS? | 14:31 |
| iceroot | sameshitdiffday: when it is mounted, there is no difference if it is encrypted or not when someone has already mounted it | 14:31 |
| sameshitdiffday | yeah, ok, but ubuntu is doing many fancy things to make linux/unix behave different, doesn't it? | 14:31 |
| sameshitdiffday | i guess that would be a usefull chance to do so ;) | 14:31 |
| iceroot | sameshitdiffday: everything else would be bad. e.g. you have your username sameshitdiffday which is mounting a drive, then every other user (e.g. www-data, root, dbus, ftp,) cant access anything on that | 14:31 |

| Guest25668 | werder & zx81, thanks for your efforts. I think I'm going to try using my PCLOS live dvd. Where Ubuntu fails, PCLOS succeeds and where PCLOS fails, Ubuntu succeeds. If we could only breed them. :D | 14:54 |

| blitz | can you pastebin your code | 14:54 |
| werder | Guest25668: that sounds like the best idea. ntfs I guess is still not fully stable in linux | 14:54 |

| BussDriver | Hey all! I'm having problems booting into ubuntu 11.10. About 1/3rd of the time, everything works fine.. however, about 2/3rds of the time, I get a black screen. I can switch to a virtual term and login, at which point it says "failed to start X server". X.org.0.log simply says "No screens found - aborting". I can't figure out why this is completely random. Help! | 15:58 |
| martian | rabbi1: that doesn't really have anything to do with ubuntu | 15:58 |
| ActionParsnip | BussDriver: is the ram healthy? | 15:58 |
| rabbi1 | martian: i search for firefox channel, any suggestion ? | 15:58 |
| BussDriver | ActionParsnip: I can't find any reason to believe otherwise. Windows works fine, and ubuntu works fine once it boots. | 15:59 |
| emyi146 | ActionParsnip: thanks!! | 15:59 |

| BussDriver | ActionParsnip: Assuming the ram is fine, what would you think to check next? | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | BussDriver: its worth a test, even the first few checks will be ok | 16:00 |
| BussDriver | kantlivelong: ATI open source | 16:01 |
| helioz | any ideas what I might do with an overlapping HDD? | 16:01 |
| kantlivelong | BussDriver: ugh @ ATI | 16:01 |
| BussDriver | kantlivelong: It's what's in the laptop :) | 16:01 |
| kantlivelong | BussDriver: more than likely ATI video.. did u try the closed drivers? | 16:01 |
| rabbi1 | ActionParsnip: that addon is removed | 16:01 |
| rabbi1 | :) | 16:01 |
| BussDriver | kantlivelong: It appears the only available closed source driver for my video card is still in 'prerelease' format.. thus it displays a splash over the screen and doesn't support much. | 16:02 |
| BussDriver | kantlivelong: For instance, font rendering. | 16:02 |

| MonkeyDust | BussDriver is this link useful? http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ | 16:03 |
| kantlivelong | BussDriver: i would suggest installing ubuntu in a VM for the time being if u can | 16:03 |
| kantlivelong | that way u dont have to deal w/ driver nonsense | 16:03 |
| kantlivelong | BussDriver: u can always convert the VM to ur physical box when the stable driver is out | 16:04 |
| BussDriver | kantlivelong: I rely on the performance a bit too much for that I'm afraid | 16:04 |

| kantlivelong | BussDriver: theres not much of a loss when using vbox unless your looking for high end video | 16:05 |
| BussDriver | that's exactly what I'm looking for | 16:05 |

| BussDriver | I can drive 2 external monitors with ubuntu right now | 16:05 |
| BussDriver | can't do that in windows unfortunately :\ | 16:06 |

| BussDriver | right, if the underlying OS does too | 16:06 |
| kantlivelong | BussDriver: yeah | 16:06 |
| BussDriver | which it doesn't for me | 16:06 |
| kantlivelong | stupid ATI(AMD) | 16:06 |
| kantlivelong | they need to open their drivers | 16:06 |
| BussDriver | indeed | 16:06 |
| BussDriver | they did didn't they | 16:06 |
| BussDriver | i thought it was nvidia that hasn't opened anything | 16:07 |
| kantlivelong | BussDriver: oh? i musta missed something.. | 16:07 |
| RamtinA1 | any one know how can i use socks5 in ubuntu? | 16:07 |

| _sammy_ | hoping someone can point me in the right direction here... I'm trying to file a bug regarding oneiric hanging during boot (this is before X starts... it's early enough that I can't boot to single user mode, but late enough I can boot to recovery mode). To report a bug, I need to identify the package. If I knew the package which was responsible, I'd have taken the damn thing out of the boot process by now. Any ideas? | 16:47 |
| jsschmid | It's a vserver, there is nothing I can change about that... I can't update the kernel.... | 16:47 |
| ikonia | _sammy_: recovery mode is single user mode | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jsschmid: what is the output of: lsb_release -a use a pastebin to host | 16:47 |
| _sammy_ | iknoia: it's *a* single user mode. it's different that what you get from specifying "single" on the kernel command line. | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jsschmid: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32598&forum=41 | 16:47 |
| ikonia | _sammy_: it's the same thing | 16:48 |

| Faralla | Hi. Can I switch to console-only mode in 11.10? | 16:48 |
| roadfish | MonkeyDust:thanks again ... adding gateway to eth0 got my two computer ping'ing each other. But now eth0 and ppp0 are in conflict. | 16:48 |
| jsschmid | http://tinypaste.com/813ee362 | 16:48 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: says nothing about the vps-system if thats the kernel of the openvz-node | 16:48 |
| roadfish | Good news, bad news. My two computers can ping each other after added a gateway line to eth0 /etc/network/interfaces. | 16:48 |
| roadfish | But, bad news: I use a dialup-modem (aka ppp0) to get online ... and my modem fails after adding eth0 gateway. For instance "ping gnu.org" gives "unknown host" ... until I remove the eth0 gateway line again. | 16:48 |
| Faralla | How can I shutdown X? | 16:49 |
| _sammy_ | well, one works, the other doesn't. fwiw, the last thing displayed is "fsck from util-linux 2.19.1". I seriously doubt fsck is the problem, as the system boots if I set the bios to use the integrated intel graphics, and fails if I use the nvidia graphics. I think the problem is near console-setup, but I can't actually nail it down. | 16:49 |
| pip__ | cool, found some documentation. Thanks again :) | 16:50 |
| Tony_ | what is easier to install a tar.gz or tar.bz2 | 16:50 |
| ikonia | _sammy_: there is a known problem with the intel/ati ones | 16:50 |
| ikonia | Tony_: they are the same file | 16:50 |
| ikonia | Tony_: just compressed differently | 16:50 |
| ikonia | _sammy_: sorry, intel/nvidia ones | 16:50 |
| _sammy_ | nor, for that matter, can I find where console-setup (via setupcon?) is actually invoked. | 16:50 |
| MonkeyDust | roadfish i'm not familiar with ppp0 | 16:50 |
| jsschmid | ActionParsnip: Well, I can't update and I am about to change the hosting anyway ... so it's just that I would like to know what the problem could be, in case something like that happens some other time | 16:51 |
| ikonia | _sammy_: there are quite a few bugs logged against it, there is a kernel option you need to pass to get it to force intel (I think from memory) | 16:51 |
| jsschmid | ActionParsnip: http://tinypaste.com/813ee362 | 16:51 |
| _sammy_ | ikonia: interesting, that may be my bug, if it's a non-X-related crash. also, I have an identical model laptop which does boot on the nvidia just fine. | 16:51 |
| ikonia | _sammy_: there is a ton of bugs against those cards | 16:51 |
| _sammy_ | ikonia: erm, if I wanted to run with the intel graphics, I could force that in bios. | 16:51 |
| roadfish | MonkeyDust: bottom line is I want internet to go through ppp0 (dialup modem) but i want locat 192.168 to go through eth0 ... and they seem to be in conflict. | 16:51 |
| ikonia | _sammy_: many which have the same symptoms you suggest | 16:52 |
| ikonia | _sammy_: try it then, disable nvidia in the bios, see if it helps | 16:52 |
| wiggmpk | Alright, still having issues with my sound (finally got my speakers to work again) but my speakers wont mute when I plug in my headphones, any help would be awesome | 16:52 |
| _sammy_ | iknoia: it does, it boots fine on the intel graphics | 16:52 |
| rootjedi | QUIT | 16:52 |
| ikonia | I have seen that bug before | 16:52 |
| _sammy_ | as does natty on the nvidia | 16:52 |
| roadfish | I'm firing up some google queries but nothing is too obvious yet. So I'm poking around for search ideas and/or solutions (like using gateway). | 16:52 |
| _sammy_ | ikonia: if you've got a pointer to an existing bug number, or even some helpful search terms, that would be great, I'm not seeing anything similar | 16:55 |
| ikonia | _sammy_: I've not got the bug numbers to hand, there should be quite a few though | 16:55 |
| ikonia | it's come up quite a few times | 16:55 |
| Tony_ | anybody know of a good manual to turn tar.gz and tar.bz2 into .deb files | 16:55 |

| msterbrewer | sorry | 17:12 |
| msterbrewer | theres a lag in the chat | 17:12 |

| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: cool, 32bit makes life easier | 17:14 |
| abhi_ | is there any alternative of staff cop for ubuntu? | 17:14 |
| abhi_ | i need one for my home users | 17:15 |
| MonkeyDust | staff cop? | 17:15 |
| EvilResistance | abhi_: what's "staff cop"? | 17:16 |
| abhi_ | MonkeyDust: EvilResistance network usage and browsing history monitoring tool, used in offices to monitor online activities of staffs | 17:16 |
| EvilResistance | abhi_: lemme guess its windows software? | 17:17 |
| MonkeyDust | abhi_ a linux or a windows tool? | 17:17 |
| abhi_ | EvilResistance: MonkeyDust for windows only | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/801938/ | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: you need the driver deb, then the cupswraper deb | 17:17 |
| MonkeyDust | abhi_ should have mentioned that | 17:17 |
| EvilResistance | ^ | 17:17 |
| msterbrewer | ok | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: you need both for it to work. I recommend you install both files and delete any printers you tried to install, then reboot and it will detect and install it | 17:18 |
| abhi_ | now i need something like this for ubuntu | 17:18 |
| msterbrewer | thanks | 17:18 |
| abhi_ | as i'm using ubuntu 11.10 | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | msif not then run throuh the add printer wizard as normal | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: if you ask a question with no details, expect some questions back which you need to fill for us to help you and having to repeat ask is a little annoying ;) | 17:19 |
| msterbrewer | i know there was just a lag in the chat | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: sweet | 17:19 |
| msterbrewer | so i didnt see your question till a while later | 17:19 |
| msterbrewer | its almost as annoying as a net split in irc | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: could disconnect and reconnect | 17:21 |
| dssdsdds | yo | 17:21 |
| msterbrewer | the second part didnt work | 17:21 |
| msterbrewer | sec while i paste it | 17:22 |
| skypent | Is GnuPG available in either DASH or Ubuntu Software Center?; I can't see to find it when using the search gpg, but it seems to have been a program built for every ubuntu version so far. | 17:22 |
| msterbrewer | http://paste.ubuntu.com/801944/ | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: you get the idea though, you need both files installing from the site | 17:23 |
| msterbrewer | ye | 17:23 |
| MonkeyDust | skypent i think it's called seahorse | 17:23 |
| abv | ubuntu 11.10 i am on laptop my touch pad is stoping to work few after i book any help? | 17:23 |
| msterbrewer | why do you need both files | 17:23 |
| msterbrewer | just wondering | 17:23 |
| skypent | MonkeyDust; Thanks | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/MFC210C | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: its how the drivers are, brother make them | 17:24 |
| msterbrewer | ok | 17:24 |
| MonkeyDust | abv find gpoint something in the software center | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: if the folder doesn't exist (if you read the output) then you would have known to make the folder yourself to humour it | 17:24 |
| SilfenX | how can I cd into a folder that says I dont have permission to? | 17:24 |
| msterbrewer | i cant read the otput | 17:24 |
| EvilResistance | SilfenX: unless you're root, you cant really do that. | 17:24 |
| msterbrewer | i put it in like a monkey | 17:24 |
| EvilResistance | SilfenX: if you dont have read rights on the folder, you cant. if its your own folder you cant access you've got a problem | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: the second file borked for some reason, but you know the site to go to, so you can grab it# | 17:25 |
| sfsf32 | it should be illegal to be a nerd | 17:25 |
| msterbrewer | yep | 17:25 |

| ActionParsnip | sfsf32: nerds make your facebook work | 17:27 |
| msterbrewer | why cant they just be plug and play | 17:27 |

| Cyrus | ActionParsnip: As opposed to gerbils? | 17:28 |
| abhi_ | isn't there any such tool for linux? | 17:28 |
| msterbrewer | heres a bright idea put a tiny solid state driver on the printer and it install from that | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | abhi_: to do what? I don't see the first half of the question | 17:29 |
| msterbrewer | but that would be smart | 17:29 |
| ActionParsnip | msterbrewer: 3G modems do that, causes all kinds of annoyance in Linux | 17:29 |
| abhi_ | ActionParsnip: i just want to monitor online activities of the users of my home network | 17:29 |
| ActionParsnip | abhi_: like a list of sites? | 17:29 |
| msterbrewer | i guess | 17:29 |
| abhi_ | ActionParsnip: yes, browsing history | 17:29 |
| msterbrewer | glad i dont have a 3g modem | 17:30 |
| theadmin | abhi_: Umm, that's kind of illegal. Privacy, anyone?... | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | abhi_: you could create a proxy and log the activities, then have all web traffic go via your proxy | 17:30 |
| Cyrus | Illegal? It's not illegal. That's silly. | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: not if it's your own home LAN with your own PCs | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: not illegal in the slightest | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: how is it illegal | 17:31 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Hm, well, he said "users of my home network", probably meaning other people... Looking at what others do, ESPECIALLY without their agreement to it... At the very least is not polite. | 17:31 |
| abhi_ | theadmin: it's not illegal, sometimes we need to use such tools in office for our own safety | 17:31 |
| Cyrus | Sure, it's skeezy. But it's not illegal. | 17:31 |

| ActionParsnip | sfsf32: which acronyms? | 17:38 |
| mrtc | ActionParsnip: perfect, thanks! | 17:38 |
| sfsf32 | lxde, gtk, ecc... | 17:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sfsf32: lxde is a name, gtk is short for Gnome Tool Kit, it is very understood in the Linux world. It's like VAT and such | 17:39 |
| auronandace | sfsf32: every area of expertise has jargon | 17:39 |
| theadmin | sfsf32: Those are commonly known. Nobody wants to say "GIMP Toolkit" or "Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment" | 17:39 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: btw, GTK is "GIMP Toolkit", not "GNOME". | 17:39 |
| sfsf32 | VAT? | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dang | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sfsf32: value added tax.. | 17:40 |
| sfsf32 | hmm | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sfsf32: are you about 14 years old? | 17:40 |

| ActionParsnip | auronandace: snap | 17:40 |
| sfsf32 | i'm 30 | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | wow | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sfsf32: when you pay for goods and services you pay tax, when you get a wage, you pay tax. Have you never noticed this? | 17:40 |
| ssta | probably american. read VAT as "sales tax"? | 17:40 |
| pangolin | How is this Ubuntu related? | 17:41 |
| sfsf32 | ActionParsnip, here almost noone pay taxes, so i don't know | 17:41 |
| msterbrewer | i pay taxes... | 17:41 |
| theadmin | pangolin: In no way at all. | 17:41 |
| theadmin | Okay okay, guys and girls, please stop the offtopic talk | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sfsf32: wel I'm sure you have acronynms in your life | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sfsf32: here is a rundown of lxde (back on topic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXDE | 17:41 |
| pangolin | Please get back to Ubuntu support. #ubuntu-offtopic will gladly entertain other subjects. | 17:42 |
| sfsf32 | ok, thank you | 17:42 |
| sfsf32 | is "ok" an acronym? | 17:42 |
| theadmin | sfsf32: Yeah, used to stand for "Oll Korrekt", from broken English. But once again, this is offtopic, please do NOT talk about subjects not related to Ubuntu support issues here. | 17:43 |
| sfsf32 | oh so you was right, i use acronyms too | 17:43 |
| msterbrewer | how do i install a .gz file on ubuntu | 17:44 |
| EvilResistance | msterbrewer: is it a .tar.gz ? | 17:44 |
| budmang | any way to see a verbose mode in bootnig up from a cd? see wth is taking so long? | 17:44 |
| msterbrewer | yes | 17:44 |
| jutnux | msterbrewer: tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz | 17:45 |
| jutnux | msterbrewer: cd filename | 17:45 |
| msterbrewer | thanks | 17:45 |
| jutnux | msterbrewer: ./configure | 17:45 |
| EvilResistance | msterbrewer: you extract the information in the .tar.gz first, you dont usually *install* directly from a tar.gz | 17:45 |
| jutnux | msterbrewer: make | 17:45 |
| theadmin | budmang: Add "nosplash noquiet" to the kernel line | 17:45 |
| jutnux | msterbrewer: sudo make install | 17:45 |
| EvilResistance | msterbrewer: you do have to do the commands which jutnux stated, or read the installation guide for the program (there sould be one from the devs) | 17:45 |
| auronandace | !compile | msterbrewer | 17:45 |
| ubottu | msterbrewer: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 17:45 |
| msterbrewer | ok | 17:45 |
| budmang | theadmin: I dont think I see grub when booting from it but let me check again. | 17:45 |
| msterbrewer | hopefully i can find a .deb file | 17:45 |

| EvilResistance | msterbrewer: what program if i might ask? | 17:46 |
| theadmin | budmang: You need to hold LeftShift while booting for GRUB to appear (after your BIOS POST is gone) | 17:46 |
| msterbrewer | Hamachi | 17:46 |
| EvilResistance | msterbrewer: why do you want hamachi on Ubuntu? | 17:46 |
| msterbrewer | to be able to use logmein | 17:46 |
| olit | how do i install new kernel, without disturbing old configuration? | 17:46 |
| theadmin | msterbrewer: Why do you need that, exactly? | 17:47 |
| msterbrewer | the version for linux uses Hamachi | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | olit: that happens a ot with normal updates | 17:47 |
| === TRAP is now known as Guest58801 | ||
| theadmin | msterbrewer: I understand. Do you use logmein for... what? Remote control? If so I suggest you try teamviewer which has a more-or-less native Linux version | 17:47 |
| EvilResistance | msterbrewer: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/haguichi <-- | 17:48 |
| msterbrewer | thanks | 17:48 |
| EvilResistance | ther'es a PPA :P | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Jimu: does 2D work ok? | 17:48 |
| anynickname | msterbrewer: or you can try the join.me website (it's made by the logmein team) | 17:48 |
| auronandace | theadmin: you realise teamviewer is essentially a wine applicating that ships with its own version of wine | 17:48 |
| EvilResistance | msterbrewer: cant guarantee anything though | 17:48 |
| Jimu | ActionParsnip: sure does | 17:48 |
| auronandace | application | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Jimu: I'd use that for now | 17:49 |
| theadmin | auronandace: I know | 17:49 |
| theadmin | auronandace: Still works well :P | 17:49 |
| auronandace | theadmin: works well yes, but hardly what i'd call more-or-less native | 17:49 |
| Jimu | ActionParsnip: if you saw the screenshot, does that look like Ubuntu issue or VBox/Host issue? | 17:50 |
| theadmin | auronandace: They did change the code in order for it to work with Wine though. Cut out some features which were broken, etc. | 17:50 |
| anynickname | msterbrewer: but if you really want hamachi on Linux, here, https://secure.logmein.com/labs/ | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Jimu: ubuntu will use the hardware given, so I'd check settings etc | 17:51 |

| zeref | MonkeyDust: k, just to confirm, that server addr should go into eth0 config for both client and host? | 18:11 |
| LadyGorey | If I can login as admin should it all work? | 18:11 |
| MonkeyDust | zeref yes, there is only 1 (default) gateway | 18:11 |
| theadmin | LadyGorey: Basically, at least then we can diagnose the problem further... | 18:12 |
| LadyGorey | Okay I'll try that and I'll be back, thanks | 18:12 |

| budmang | whats the live cd "su" password | 18:14 |
| MonkeyDust | budmang there is none | 18:15 |
| budmang | Ive got 2 drives that were in an LVM... im trying to pull the data off them.. any easy way off the ubuntu live boot? ussually the drives are just mounted.. | 18:16 |
| budmang | Im assuming the lvm makes it not mount? | 18:16 |
| iceroot | budmang: i dont think there is a root-account enabled on live-cd | 18:16 |
| iceroot | !sudo | budmang | 18:16 |
| ubottu | budmang: 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 | 18:16 |
| theadmin | budmang: There's no "root" account on Ubuntu (well, there is but it's locked out by default), you must use "sudo -i" rather than "su" | 18:17 |

| MonkeyDust | sudipta I rephrase that: in a terminal, type mount, do you see the partition | 18:19 |
| theadmin | krumme: Because you installed Ubuntu from Windows, you can't remove Windows that way... :/ | 18:19 |
| theadmin | krumme: You need to do a proper install. | 18:20 |

| krumme | oki thanx | 18:20 |
| egc | theadmin, thanks for the suggestion...tried it, and got the same result | 18:20 |
| theadmin | kantlivelong: No. Mate is gnome2. | 18:20 |
| auronandace | kantlivelong: no, mate is a gnome2 fork, cinnamon is a gnome3 fork | 18:20 |
| kantlivelong | ah ah i was just confused by LinuxMints page (since they made cinnamon) | 18:21 |
| kantlivelong | Cinnamon looks like the way to go w/ gnome3 | 18:21 |
| theadmin | kantlivelong: Mate is a gnome2 fork started by the ArchLinux team. Basically identical to gnome2. Cinnamon is a GNOME3 fork by the LinuxMint team. Made to make gnome3 friendlier. | 18:21 |
| kantlivelong | hopefully ubuntu adopts it | 18:22 |

| trism | egc: dpkg-deb -e package.deb; will extract the control information to a directory named DEBIAN in the current directory (-x to get the files installed, -c to list them, doesn't seem to be a switch to list the control data) | 18:23 |

| Betara | hi. how can i give executable permissions to another user from root? lets say i need to authorize user 'Betara' to run 'Executable' which is now as -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root | 18:30 |
| sudipta | MonkeyDust:sry 4 the delay :) | 18:31 |
| MonkeyDust | anynickname i mean, that way, files cannot be executed automatically on download, like in windows | 18:31 |
| longcat | anyone can execute that binary | 18:31 |
| longcat | that last r-x is "other" or global | 18:31 |
| anynickname | MonkeyDust and ssta: yes, but now I'm back to square one, I still need a way to do it, I've read about "shc", but it appears to not be in the repositories | 18:32 |
| ssta | never heard of "shc". Is saying "you need to chmod +x it" that onerous? | 18:32 |
| theadmin | Betara: You might want to look up ACL. Also, UNIX usernames can't have capital letters. | 18:32 |
| ssta | if they type "sh foo.sh" that will run it whether it's executable or not | 18:32 |
| longcat | uh he doesnt need to +x it... | 18:33 |
| sudipta | MonkeyDust, :i have pasted the output on pastebin | 18:33 |

| theadmin | rymate1234: winff then | 18:38 |
| dajhorn | iceroot: Yes, it does matter. This glitch happens frequently on ubuntu+1 during library upgrades. Just wait until the mirror that you are using is fully sync'd. | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | rymate1234: converting from MP3 to lossy formats will reduce quality | 18:38 |

| pip__ | I'll try again | 18:41 |
| MonkeyDust | sudipta in a terminal: mkdir blah and then sudo mount /dev/sda5 blah | 18:41 |
| ActionParsnip | cwolf233: if the file is held on your linux partition, you can mark it as executable with: chmod +x Setup.exe (change the filename as needed), then run: wine ./Setup.exe The commands are VERY case sensitive too | 18:41 |
| theadmin | pdayton1: Cause the 32-bit architecture is more widely supported | 18:41 |
| sudipta | how to do it with fstab? can u please help | 18:41 |
| ssta | pdayton1: it does? I thought they changed to recommend the 64bit now? | 18:41 |
| iceroot | pdayton1: it will changed for 12.04 to amd64 | 18:41 |
| dajhorn | pdayton1: And because the proprietary things like Flash and Skype are more reliable on 32-bit. | 18:41 |
| pip__ | My xterm has no scroll bars what do I have to do to get them? | 18:41 |
| MonkeyDust | !fstab| sudipta | 18:41 |

| pip__ | I'm not using a mouse, just one of those funky buttons in the keyboard | 18:42 |
| pdayton1 | thanks dajhorn | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: oh absolutely, just warning of bad ideas | 18:42 |
| dajhorn | pdayton1: Welcome. This might change for the 12.04 release. 64-bit as the advertised default. | 18:42 |
| Guest31464 | how i can change permission to editing my autorun file ? is sudo chmod 444 and sudo chmod 004 is god idea? | 18:42 |
| sudipta | does an entry in fstab ensure that the partition will be mounted automatically on start up? | 18:42 |
| Guest31464 | *good | 18:42 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest31464: do you own the file? | 18:43 |
| ssta | Tony_: tar.bz2 is just an archive | 18:43 |
| MonkeyDust | sudipta first do it manually, so you see what happens: mkdir NTFS and then sudo mount /dev/sda5 NTFS | 18:43 |
| dajhorn | ActionParsnip: The packaging for 32-bit is better. No nsplugin wrapper either. Better PulseAudio support. | 18:43 |

| ssta | or whatever the gui archive tool is called will do it | 18:44 |
| Guest31464 | ActionParsnip: yes | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | dajhorn: yeah if you enable the partner repo and instal adobe-installer you will get 32bit or 64bit depending on the ubuntu arch | 18:44 |
| Jasonn | xjf * | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest31464: then why sudo if you are the owner? | 18:44 |
| dajhorn | ActionParsnip: And Adobe was a bit unreliable in keeping their 64-bit build updated. They would go weeks with known vulnerabilities. | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | dajhorn: your ppa was the bom dude | 18:45 |
| skypent | iceroot: that was the real question.... | 18:45 |

| maginot | howdy. | 18:45 |
| dajhorn | ActionParsnip: Thanks... I think that the partner repo getting updated is probably why they're going 64-bit default. Just a guess. | 18:45 |

| theadmin | Mindkontrol: Normally the archives have a "README" file in them. Or a "INSTALL". Read those and they'll contain instructions for the specific programs. | 18:58 |

| datruth | I've install virtualbox and windows 7-32bit and now in windows 7 I have no sound, no network how can I fix this? | 18:59 |
| theadmin | datruth: We don't support Windows. | 18:59 |
| nanobyte | datruth #vbox or ##windows maybe helpful | 18:59 |
| nanobyte | I'd imagine the former more so | 19:00 |
| bitpimp | any ideas on my monitor issue? | 19:00 |
| datruth | thx | 19:00 |
| ActionPa1snip | Mindkontrol: its a simple case of copying the files over, nothing to hard. Are there youtube videos on how to? | 19:00 |
| gentoofan | I am right now running an amd64 Ubuntu 11.10 LiveCD and I am trying to install the zfs-linux package from: https://launchpad.net/~rlaager/+archive/ppa/+packages - unfortunately, apt-get tells me that it cannot find it. Does anyone have any suggesetions? | 19:01 |
| ActionPa1snip | datruth: windows is supported in ##windows | 19:01 |
| ActionPa1snip | datruth: or is the windows system the guest? | 19:01 |
| hanasaki | should "dpkg-reconfigure locales" bring up a menu to select the locales? it is just regenerating the current set | 19:01 |
| Tony_ | theadmin, is this it, i dont see a .deb file http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/wicd | 19:03 |
| mang0 | How can I check in terminal if I have java JDK installed? And if it isn't, is it in the synaptic/software center? | 19:03 |
| datruth | ActionPa1snip: the winvm is the guest | 19:03 |
| theadmin | Tony_: Yes, it is the proper page. Click on either "amd64" or "i386" depending on your system's architecture and it will give you the deb | 19:03 |
| theadmin | Tony_: Ah, wait, it's universal. Click on "all". | 19:04 |
| ActionPa1snip | datruth: what settings for sound and LAN have you set. Have you installed the Guest additions? | 19:04 |
| theadmin | Tony_: Here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/wicd/download | 19:04 |
| drew212 | how do i modify the access control of a directory so I can write to it without sudo? I'm in the owning group | 19:05 |
| Odaym | if I do "dmesg | grep ipsec" and don't get any output, does that mean that I don't have it installed? | 19:05 |
| Odaym | I have a link that says it ships with full kernel integration | 19:06 |
| ActionPa1snip | drew212: chmod g+w folder | 19:06 |
| theadmin | Odaym: Might want to grep -i just in case it shows up as "IPSec" or something like that in dmesg | 19:06 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: You can't install zfs-linux with apt-get because it is a source package. | 19:06 |
| theadmin | Odaym: -i = case-insensetive | 19:06 |
| Odaym | yea, but still | 19:06 |

| drew212 | ActionPa1snip: the folder is 775 right now | 19:07 |
| datruth | ActionPa1snip: no how do I get guest additions? | 19:07 |
| Odaym | I do have /etc/ipsec-tools.conf though | 19:07 |

| dajhorn | gentoofan: And Brian accepted Richard's patch upstream. It will be in the next regular PPA update. | 19:07 |
| ActionPa1snip | datruth: same in windows. | 19:08 |
| ActionPa1snip | datruth: basically you installed an OS with few drivers and wonder why noting works. Its like a native install. You need to instal drivers to make hardware work right (albeit virtual hardware in this case) | 19:09 |
| subman | I cannot get ustream.tv to work for me. When I try to stream I get a flash window that asks permission to allow my camera but that window is unclickable. | 19:09 |
| Mindkontrol | theadmin: In this case, there are no files but the text, i am confused. the compile instructions ask me to ./configure, but there is nothing to configure | 19:09 |
| drew212 | ActionPa1snip: Say i have a directory in /opt called hello, i want to be able to create directories under that without sudo... is there a way to do this? | 19:10 |
| theadmin | Mindkontrol: ./configure means you open the directory in the terminal and type "./configure". | 19:10 |
| Mindkontrol | theadmin: https://sites.google.com/site/root4android/rooting/psneuter-c | 19:10 |
| Mindkontrol | theadmin: please look at the link, and tell me if i am going about this all the wrong way | 19:10 |
| Mindkontrol | theadmin: LInux is great, but damn if there isnt a lot to learn | 19:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Mindkontrol you had to learn windows, too | 19:11 |
| MonkeyDust | or mac | 19:11 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: once you get used to it it's great, you have better control | 19:11 |
| Mindkontrol | MonkeyDust: Yeah, but i got into windows very young | 19:11 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: +1 on what MonkeyDust said | 19:12 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: I totally agree, i am loving it. GOing to switch my main machine over pretty soon | 19:12 |
| Mindkontrol | just dual boot into win7 for the couple of games i need to | 19:12 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: that's what i do | 19:12 |
| drew212 | plus, HPC is a joke on windows... | 19:13 |
| GranCenSail1 | My usual backup script keeps failing with "Cannot stat: permission denied" on the folder ".gvfs". I tried excluding that folder from the backup, but it's still failing. | 19:13 |
| drew212 | hopefully i'll be able to fix some of that this summer working there =) | 19:13 |
| Mindkontrol | so, can someone follow this link, and tell me what to do with this? https://sites.google.com/site/root4android/rooting/psneuter-c | 19:13 |
| ActionPa1snip | drew212: sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/hello assuming you are in the group ownership | 19:13 |
| diverdude | What is wrong with this line? crontab -e * * * * * cd /var/www/gitorious && /usr/bin/bundle exec rake ultrasphinx:index RAILS_ENV=production | 19:13 |
| ActionPa1snip | diverdude: Is it ok in quotes? | 19:14 |
| drew212 | ActionPa1snip: that doesn't work =\ | 19:14 |
| ActionPa1snip | diverdude: could put it in a script and cron the script | 19:14 |
| anynickname | Has anyone here ever used "dialog"? | 19:14 |
| drew212 | ActionPa1snip: I'll double check i'm in the group and everything | 19:14 |
| anynickname | can someone explain why "EXAMPLE=$(dialog --inputbox "some text" 10 60)" does not work? | 19:14 |
| ActionPa1snip | drew212: you can check group membership by running: groups | 19:14 |
| anynickname | "dialog --inputbox "some text" 10 60" alone works, just not if I try to make a variable out of it | 19:15 |
| amaroks | guys, what command tells the public ip of server? | 19:15 |
| diverdude | ActionPa1snip, yeah ok...good idea...should quotes also work? | 19:15 |
| diverdude | ActionPa1snip, like: crontab -e * * * * * "cd /var/www/gitorious && /usr/bin/bundle exec rake ultrasphinx:index RAILS_ENV=production" | 19:15 |
| gentoofan | dajhorn: Thanks. | 19:15 |
| dajhorn | GranCenSail1: Which backup script? The .gvfs folder is used by the GNOME mount manager. | 19:16 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: Welcome. | 19:16 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: u busy? | 19:16 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: i'm at work, but what's up? | 19:16 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: I just need someone to check this link, and tell me where to go with it | 19:16 |
| GranCenSail1 | dajhorn: It's one that my friend wrote for me that's supposed to make a .tar out of my home folder and save it to an external harddrive. | 19:16 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: https://sites.google.com/site/root4android/rooting/psneuter-c | 19:16 |
| ActionPa1snip | diverdude: not sure, i'd go for the script, you can then easily update the script | 19:17 |
| drew212 | ActionPa1snip: yeah, i'm definitely in the group, i don't think you can mkdir without sudo outside of your own folder =Z | 19:17 |
| itaycream | hello | 19:17 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: what exactly are you trying to do with it? compile it? | 19:17 |
| diverdude | ActionPa1snip, good idea...where would be the appropriate place to put such a script? | 19:17 |
| ActionPa1snip | drew212: if you are in the group you should be ok | 19:17 |
| gentoofan | dajhorn: Actually, that isn't the patch that I wanted. The one I wanted involves bootfs on raidz. | 19:17 |
| dajhorn | GranCenSail1: Find the tar command in the backup script and add the --one-file-system switch. | 19:17 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: Yes, but the compile instructions dont seem to coorespond with that file | 19:18 |
| Tony_ | theadmin, dependency is not satisfiable, wicd-daemon...?? | 19:18 |
| itaycream | where am i | 19:18 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: Install the zfsutils package from rlaager's PPA. | 19:18 |
| trism | iceroot: don't know if you already figured this out earlier but I was curious too, and: sudo apt-get -o=Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade; seems to give the right sort of info | 19:18 |
| theadmin | Tony_: Installing packages manually is a pain. You need to grab the wicd-daemon package first and install that... | 19:18 |
| ActionPa1snip | diverdude: anywhere you want, just referecnce it absolutely in cron, /usr/bin is a handy place, just give it a weird name so it doesn't clash with installed apps, anywhere in $PATH will be ok | 19:18 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: not sure if i grabbed it right or what, i just did wget that link | 19:18 |
| voidmain_ | cw=Z]ReL5QNLyQ%KIP~NEPzNy | 19:18 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: He gave it a special version so that it wouldn't clobber the regular PPA. You need to explicitly install it. | 19:18 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: gcc <filename> should output the file to a.out then you can ./a.out | 19:18 |
| itaycream | help me | 19:18 |
| gentoofan | dajhorn: I don't see it listed on the webpage. | 19:19 |
| itaycream | my screen wont work | 19:19 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: gcc no input files | 19:19 |
| drew212 | ActionPa1snip: its not working, idk | 19:19 |
| gentoofan | dajhorn: Amazingly, that worked. :) | 19:19 |
| itaycream | do anyone know how to do? | 19:19 |
| amaroks | guys, what command tells the public ip of server? | 19:19 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: says file unrecognized | 19:20 |
| iceroot | trism: perfect, thats exactly what i was looking for | 19:20 |
| iceroot | trism: thank you | 19:20 |
| drew212 | cd to the location the file is in, then gcc psneuter.c | 19:20 |
| iceroot | amaroks: ifconfig | 19:20 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: The direct link is: https://launchpad.net/~rlaager/+archive/ppa/+files/zfsutils_0.6.0.43-0ubuntu1~oneiric2~rlaager1_amd64.deb | 19:20 |
| drew212 | you might have to rename the file | 19:20 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: mv psneuter-c psneuter.c | 19:20 |
| gentoofan | dajhorn: Is there a separate one for the kernel modules? | 19:20 |
| almoxarife | is there a cheat sheet for using the official adobe flash 64bit in place of what ever ubuntu has as default? | 19:21 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: Yes, but I don't think that you need it because the restriction is in the userland... Let me double check. | 19:21 |
| iceroot | trism: Considering libedataserver1.2-15:i386 7 as a solution to evolution-webcal:i386 6 | 19:21 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: did i download it the right way by doing wget | 19:21 |
| iceroot | Removing evolution-webcal:i386 rather than change libedataserver1.2-15:i386 | 19:21 |
| drew212 | yeah | 19:21 |
| iceroot | trism: thats good debug-stuff for the bug-report | 19:21 |
| gentoofan | dajhorn: I need it to be able to use the LiveCD to do a chroot into my Gentoo install. | 19:21 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: you should be ok, you might need to change the file extension so the compiler recognizes it as a c-code file | 19:22 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: seems like something is wrong, kicked out a ton of errors | 19:22 |
| gentoofan | dajhorn: As for the restriction, it is in the kernel module itself. See vdev_is_bootable() in ./module/zfs/vdev.c | 19:22 |
| drew212 | its probably one file in a large project | 19:22 |
| gentoofan | He told me last night that he forgot to publish that patch, but it was in the binaries he published in his PPA. | 19:23 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: Okay, then only run `apt-add-repository ppa:rlaager/ppa` and then do `apt-get install spl-dkms; apt-get install zfs-dkms zfsutils` | 19:23 |
| GranCenSail1 | dajhorn: Thanks for your help. I added the command and am running the script now. | 19:23 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: The modules/ code is shared. Some of the utilities directly include it. | 19:23 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: Yeah, it just kicks back a bunch of errors. sigh | 19:23 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: Welcome. | 19:23 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: yeah, you should download it directly from his repo: git clone https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod.git | 19:23 |
| drew212 | he has a makefile included in there =) | 19:24 |
| gentoofan | dajhorn: His spl-dkms package is missing. :/ | 19:24 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: Hmm. ok. So just add that to my repository list? | 19:24 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: Bummer. That makes it much more difficult. | 19:24 |
| drew212 | add it to your list? | 19:24 |
| theadmin | Mindkontrol: It's a git repo... not an apt repo | 19:25 |
| diverdude | in what is wrong with this command: crontab -e * * * * * rungito ? | 19:25 |
| gentoofan | I don't need the bootfs patch for now. I will try your PPA instead. | 19:25 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: what theadmin said | 19:25 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: its a remote location for someone to store code | 19:25 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: Ahhh. never accessed one before | 19:26 |
| Slart | diverdude: full path to "rungito" whatever that is | 19:26 |
| sudipta | MonkeyDust: hey thanks for helping me out,I have made changes to the fstab and everything works fine..except for one thing. Anything I want to delete has to be deleted permanently, i.e. I can not able to move it to 'trash' .No biggy but a little itch | 19:26 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: yeah, if you're not writing code or compiling from source its not really necessary... | 19:28 |
| Mindkontrol | ok, downloading git core | 19:28 |
| diverdude | Slart, still gives: crontab: usage error: no arguments permitted after this option | 19:28 |
| AndIrc | Can someone tell me why I can't boot to ububtu? I have reinstalled it like 8 times, but all i get when it restarts is "Error no such partition: Grub rescue" | 19:29 |
| theadmin | diverdude: "crontab -e" will open an editor with a text file to which you would add the stuff you need. | 19:29 |
| === AndIrc is now known as dariushall21 | ||
| Slart | diverdude: oh.. you can't just run "crontab -r bla bla bla"... just run "crontab -e" and you'll start an editor where you can edit the actual crontab file | 19:29 |

| gentoofan | dajhorn: I don't suppose you would know why I keep getting "E: Type 'src' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dajhorn-ppa-oneiric.list". I got this with Richard's ppa too. | 19:29 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: sudo apt-get install git? | 19:30 |
| Mindkontrol | drew212: 404 not found on the servers | 19:30 |
| drew212 | ? | 19:30 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: All lines in that list file must begin with "deb", "deb-src", or a comment. | 19:30 |
| theadmin | gentoofan: Supposed to be "deb-src" I suppose. Broken PPA I'd guess. | 19:31 |
| dajhorn | theadmin: Launchpad prevents the publishing of packages with broken sources. | 19:31 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: i'm not sure what would cause that, maybe you don't have 3rd party sources? | 19:32 |
| AndIrc | What is grub rescue? and why is it even trying to boot to it | 19:32 |

| gentoofan | One is deb-src and the other is src. :/ | 19:32 |
| haux | Can anyone help with my Ethernet issue? | 19:33 |
| dajhorn | gentoofan: Did you cut and paste or use the apt-add-repository command? Change "deb-src" to "deb" and delete the "src" lines. | 19:33 |
| drew212 | Mindkontrol: i'm not sure what's wrong with it, it should be there | 19:33 |
| gentoofan | dajhorn: I used apt-add-repository. | 19:33 |

| Mindkontrol | drew212: its fine, im getting it on main box | 19:34 |

| Bitvilag | skel: surprisingly was not installed thanks for the tip...i feel dumb now:P | 19:51 |
| mneptok | Mindkontrol: the required toolchain to get Android code compiling, and how to compile on Linux, is probably best answered by the Android community and their resources, rather than the Ubuntu community and their resources. | 19:51 |

| mneptok | Mindkontrol: no, in an Android forum you're pretty much guranteed that at least 20% of developers are doing their work on some kind of Linux. in the general Ubuntu support IRC channel, you can pretty much bet that the sheer volume of traffic means anyone that does do Android development is not listening. | 19:53 |

| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| Danno7 | how much drive space should I allocate to my /home directory assuming that I won't be storing pictures, movies, songs or anything sizeable in home (that will be on a separate drive)? I tend to have a lot of apps like wine, dropbox, vlc, vitual box so I need space for those to be installed but storage will be elsewhere if you get what I mean | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | Danno7: Why do you want /home/ on a separate partition at all? | 20:03 |
| Danno7 | because my Ubuntu and /home will be on the SSD which is small | 20:03 |
| diverdude | are all scripts in /etc/init.d run automatically at startup? | 20:04 |
| Seveas | diverdude, not necessarily | 20:04 |
| Danno7 | so really the OS+ a minimal /home directory is all I want on that partition | 20:04 |
| Jordan_U | Danno7: If "Ubuntu" ( I assume your root partition ) is going on the SSD, and /home/ is going on the SSD, then why not keep them both on the same partition? | 20:04 |
| Danno7 | Jordan_U: ok lets assume that. How much space are we talking? | 20:05 |
| diverdude | Seveas, so what if i do? update-rc.d git-poller defaults | 20:05 |

| haylo | hey i am in ubuntu classic fallback wih no effects. I made all these special icons for the desktop. is there a way to lock their position or at least make it so changes to the desktop arent saved? | 20:08 |
| === go8765 is now known as go8765|off | ||
| Jordan_U | Danno7: The root directory is going to take a lot more space, and vary more greatly depending on what you have installed, than your /home/ directory. A base Ubuntu install is probably about 4 GiB, and that could easily go as large as 20 GiB with applications that require a lot of disk space. | 20:08 |
| flintwingel | Danno7: generally the default install calls for a bit over 4GB. If you're really not going to store much in your home directory you could allocate just a few 10s of megabytes | 20:08 |
| Hanmac | hay i am looking for "Steve Langasek" | 20:09 |
| flintwingel | Danno7: the risk is always that apps tend to store cache/temp/data files in a users home, so without knowing what apps you're going to run it's not easy to say | 20:09 |
| fredricks | I have a problem when I try to install ubuntu...I cant get it to start up. It hangs at the boot screen | 20:09 |
| haylo | i just need to lock the desktop. should i change permissions or does ubuntu have a feature for this tucked away somewhere? | 20:09 |
| urlin2u | fredricks, black screen what are the symptoms? | 20:10 |
| fredricks | urlin2u: the purple or orange screen (color blind) | 20:10 |
| urlin2u | fredricks, you know the graphic card? | 20:10 |
| fredricks | urlin2u: but when I try to install it even, like off of the live disk...it hangs and doesn't proceed forward | 20:10 |
| Danno7 | Jordan_U , flintwingel : Ok so if I lets say, made the partition 30gigs, that would be more than enough for a single user? | 20:10 |
| fredricks | urlin2u: no, I am on BT5 if you can tell me how to find it | 20:11 |
| flintwingel | Danno7: probably ;) | 20:11 |
| fredricks | urlin2u: if i go to the desktop I can get it to install, but typically it wont even let me boot it live | 20:11 |
| haylo | i have every linux tools imaginable installed and ubuntu is at 15 gigabytes- that includes a copy of windows 7 in virtual machine | 20:11 |
| WhiteOwl-m | good alternative to webmin? | 20:12 |
| urlin2u | fredricks, you can try nomodeset added to the kernel line at the grub menu...hit e to edit and put nomodeset where you see splash in the kernel. | 20:12 |
| Danno7 | flintwingel: wine installs in my home directory. Can you get it to store files in s separate directory? My Wow folder is like 25gigs | 20:12 |
| fredricks | urlin2u: thanks | 20:12 |
| urlin2u | !nomodeset | fredricks | 20:12 |
| ubottu | fredricks: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:12 |
| Danno7 | thanks haylo. good feedback | 20:12 |
| fredricks | urlin2u: thanks | 20:13 |
| diverdude | how can i see what runs at startup on a machine? | 20:13 |
| haylo | ubuntu with remastersys, outty, xchat, openssh, gftp, unetbootin, aptoncd, sauerbraten, vitual box windows 7 at 15 gigs | 20:13 |
| flintwingel | Danno7: not that familiar with wine but IIRC you can tell it where to allocate it's C: drive | 20:13 |
| haylo | oh and wine too :) thats alot of tools in 15gigs but... i like to leave at least 100gigs for each distro | 20:14 |
| haylo | so id say ubuntu with all of its tools could go onto a ten gig root partition but yeah like dud said it soulc easily end up being 20 or 50- especially as programs get more sophisticated and compe get stronger | 20:16 |
| haylo | my ubunut desktop looks beautiful... if only i could lock it... hmm | 20:17 |

| jutnux | Danno7: You should have root on your SSD /home on the normal drive | 20:19 |
| urlin2u | Danno7, nice thing about ubuntu and linux in general is being able to move or resize partitions easily, 30 gigs seems like a prudent stat. | 20:20 |

| yumbo | coreyf1513, very possible | 20:44 |
| oCean | !nounity | coreyf1513 | 20:44 |
| ubottu | coreyf1513: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 20:44 |
| oCean | aeon-ltd: please don't continue that discussion here | 20:45 |

| j3d3 | is there a way to make the portion on a window where you click and drag to resize larger? its seems to be only 1 pixel | 20:47 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: 11.10 dosent use gdm by default | 20:48 |
| aeon-ltd | j3d3: yes but that involves editing gtk themes by changing the padding/border/margin sizes iirc | 20:48 |
| arlo_ | Where can i find restricting permissions | 20:48 |
| GRMrGecko | dr_willis: What can I do to start x11vnc at boot than? | 20:48 |
| guntbert | j3d3: if there isn't you can use the middle mouse button together with <alt> to resize a window | 20:49 |
| haylo | ls -l gives a long list including file permissions for the directory you are in | 20:49 |
| aeon-ltd | arlo_: right clicking can do some, but most people will tell you to use 'chmod' a terminal tool | 20:49 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: 11.10 uses lightdm. I tend to use other vnc clients/servers, rarely wanted to use x11vnc. | 20:49 |
| dr_willis | !permissions | arlo_ | 20:49 |
| ubottu | arlo_: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 20:49 |
| haylo | chmod with a numerical value and a filename changes permissions | 20:49 |
| j3d3 | got it. ty | 20:49 |
| aeon-ltd | arlo_: are you trying to restrict for users locally or people accessing via network? | 20:49 |
| haylo | or you can change them in nautilus | 20:49 |
| GRMrGecko | dr_willis: What do you recommend I use for a VNC server? | 20:50 |
| arlo_ | i will give acces to var/www | 20:50 |
| arlo_ | and with ssh | 20:50 |
| GRMrGecko | This is for remote support. | 20:50 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: totally depedns on how you are going to use vnc. | 20:50 |
| guntbert | j3d3: by the way: with <alt> <left button> you can move a window | 20:50 |
| gompassos | how can i setup the "super" key to open ubuntu main menu | 20:50 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: i normally DONT want to share the 'current visiable' desktop. I want hidden seperate vnc sessions. | 20:50 |
| gompassos | using fallback mode | 20:50 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: gnome has the vino vnc server built in that shares the current visible gnome desktop i belive. | 20:51 |
| GRMrGecko | dr_willis: Yes, but I do need to see the display as the user sees for my purpose. | 20:51 |
| GRMrGecko | it does | 20:51 |
| GRMrGecko | but not at boot | 20:51 |
| arlo_ | i have create use and will give this user acces to var/www | 20:51 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: first hit for x11vnc lightdm --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1906745 | 20:51 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: why do you need to share the login screen? | 20:51 |
| GRMrGecko | dr_willis: Incase I need to get into my admin user. | 20:52 |
| iglow | oh wonderful ubuntu user help god grant me the power to solve this damn wireless card problem i am having :) | 20:52 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: if you need to get remote admin access to a machine. You really should be using SSH, not relying on VNC | 20:53 |
| Dougwiser | iglow I usually ask that if it be your will, grant me relief from this wireless issue | 20:53 |
| GRMrGecko | dr_willis: I do use SSH | 20:53 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: or you can ssh in, run a vncserver as that user, then connect. No need for people to be able to see your current desktop and what you are doing as an admin. unless you are teaching a class or somthing. | 20:53 |
| iglow | i am having an issue with the wireless card i just installed. it wont show any scan results for me to access interwebs | 20:54 |
| GRMrGecko | that's vnc4server | 20:54 |
| dr_willis | GRMrGecko: x11vnc is a specilized vnc server that shares the 'current visible' desktop. MOST vnc servers DONT do it that way. they spawn their own hidden desktop. | 20:54 |
| iglow | after running the trouble shooter it is recognizing the card and the driver but still wont find my network... though in windows 7 it has no probelm | 20:54 |

| gompassos | how can i setup what the super key will do | 20:55 |
| dr_willis | here i ssh in, run vncserver (which is vnc4server here) , then i run a vncclient on this box and connect to the remote box. it then spawns the desktop i have vncserver configured to run. VNC does not run unity very well. I tend to use jwm, or icewm, or some other light window manager for vnc sessions | 20:55 |

| Kingsy | dr_willis: so what should I do? basically I have stuck a img file in my /boot/ dir and I want to boot to it | 21:22 |
| dr_willis | Kingsy: if you are using grub2 you need to convert it to grub2 type entry and put it in /etc/grub.d/40_custom then rerun update-grub | 21:22 |
| urlin2u | tase, you will have to try ot out yourself to really know, both are releses. | 21:22 |
| Echo | dr_willis I have my ubuntu on a server and I have never logged in with a VNC like software. I have only SSH-ed to it | 21:22 |
| Echo | Can I use the Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers | 21:22 |
| Kingsy | dr_willis: how would I convert it to a grub2 entry? | 21:22 |
| dr_willis | Echo: theres command line upgrade tools.. but i never used it. | 21:22 |
| tase | urlin2u, thanks for the wise advice, but perhaps some users can comment on their experiences? | 21:22 |
| Echo | ok | 21:22 |
| dr_willis | Kingsy: with some reading and learning about grub2. the syntax is similer.. but differnt. it an take some work to convert it properly | 21:23 |
| urlin2u | tase, sure but it means nothing to many variables, both run fine here. | 21:23 |
| Kingsy | dr_willis: damn, I was hoping to get this done real quick | 21:23 |
| dr_willis | Kingsy: theres guides out on booting iso images and so forth via grub2 | 21:23 |
| dr_willis | Kingsy: that menu.lst looks wrong with its use of * anyway.. | 21:24 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | hi... does anobody knows if there's a linux's program that automaticlly finds subtitles? | 21:24 |
| dr_willis | Um_cara_qualquer: i recall seeing such apps mentioned at either webupd8, or the omgubuntu blog sites last year.. | 21:24 |
| tase | urlin2u, pretty sure 11.04 was considered a major flop with unity when it came out. If that is no longer the case with 11.10, then all is good | 21:24 |
| dr_willis | Um_cara_qualquer: never used them. i dont recall their names. | 21:25 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | hummm | 21:25 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | thx... i'll check | 21:25 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | ok | 21:25 |

| Kingsy | cheers | 21:27 |
| dr_willis | Kingsy: you will need to use correct paths to the files | 21:27 |
| blargg | dr_willis, OK, tried again, and I'm getting some progress, mounted at least part of the DVD | 21:27 |
| iJacob | Hi! | 21:27 |
| Kingsy | dr_willis: but which file do I put that entry into? | 21:27 |
| rosstaylor | using movie player, this is the error message that i've received, "could not read dvd. this maybe because the dvd is encrypted and a dvd decryption library is not installed". | 21:27 |
| iJacob | If anyone can help me, please do! When i have installed Ubuntu 11.10 alongside with windows 7, when i boot up ubuntu and gets to the log in screen my keyboard stops working, but if i plug in an older keyboard and mouse it works | 21:27 |
| iJacob | my mouse also is not working | 21:28 |
| dr_willis | Kingsy: i mentioned the /etc/grub.d/40_custom earlier if you want it auto-added to the end of the Normal grub2 menu in ubuntu. | 21:28 |
| CharlieSu | iJacob: i can help.. throw away Windows 7 | 21:28 |
| dr_willis | iJacob: both are usb? | 21:28 |
| Kingsy | dr_willis: thanks | 21:28 |
| xouns | argh, it's probably a usb-recognition problem | 21:28 |
| iJacob | yeah both are usb | 21:28 |
| guntbert | CharlieSu: no such comments please | 21:28 |
| dr_willis | iJacob: what if you have them both plugged in at the same time? | 21:28 |
| blargg | What program allows listing a recordable DVD's sessions/partitions? | 21:29 |
| CharlieSu | guntbert: yes masta | 21:29 |
| iJacob | if i have all 4 devices pluged in at once its just the old that works | 21:29 |
| gnubie | rosstaylor, check out medibuntu.org | 21:29 |
| iJacob | but if i just have the old pluged in from start and log in with them , then unplug the old an plug in the new while logged in the new starts to work | 21:30 |
| DBordelo | I manually set eth0 to a static ip using the GUI. However, since then I have gone headless. I have switched motherboards so only eth1 is coming up (detected as a new card?). What config file allows me to set static ips or "delete" eth0 | 21:30 |
| Kingsy | dr_willis: is the root=(hd*,*) correct in that entry from that post? | 21:31 |
| Kingsy | also how can I be sure its hd0,0 ? I assume it is... | 21:31 |
| dr_willis | Kingsy: totally depemnds on your hd layout. | 21:31 |

| dr_willis | Kingsy: try it and see.. i guess.. | 21:32 |

| Kingsy | dr_willis: well I saved it as hd0,0 did a update-grub rebooted and grub didnt even appear .. nevermind work.. | 21:36 |
| urlin2u | subterfuge, the ubuntu forums probably has a ton of threads on this you might at while waiting. | 21:37 |
| Kingsy | it just booted striaght into ubuntu | 21:37 |
| filo1234 | DBordelo: and you can reuse eth0 | 21:37 |

| DBordelo | filo1234, that is fantastic. Thank you very much | 21:37 |

| subterfuge | urlin2u: they do but either I am over looking somehting or all have lead to dead end errors. thanks for the idea though, but I have been there and still am sifting through them in case I find me lucky charms | 21:38 |
| DBordelo | filo1234 , i got eth0 back, I lost my static ip information though. Is that stored in /etc/network/interfaces? | 21:39 |
| === heinz_ is now known as heinz | ||
| filo1234 | DBordelo: nope | 21:40 |
| filo1234 | DBordelo: if don't have changed settings in interfaces, nope | 21:40 |
| DBordelo | filo1234, I do not. It is booting and using DHCP | 21:41 |
| dr_willis | Kingsy: grub is hidden by default if Uubntu is the only os. | 21:41 |
| DBordelo | and interfaces only has the loopback device | 21:41 |
| dr_willis | Kingsy: /etc/default/grub has settings to make it not hide | 21:41 |
| dariushall21 | I can't fix the "Error: no such partition. grub rescue>" I have ran ALL of the commands I have seen on google | 21:41 |

| filo1234 | DBordelo: but do you have set network on interfaces or by NM? | 21:41 |
| LeChacal | hello all question, when I run an "apt-get update" I get GPG error bad signatures for a couple 3rd party repositories like virtualbox and for the ubuntu/canonical archive repository. Is anyone else getting this or know why all of a sudden I would be getting this? Thank you. | 21:41 |
| TMKCodes | Hey. I restarted my ubuntu and after login page it's stuck on showing only the wallpaper. | 21:41 |
| DBordelo | filo1234, NM probably, it was a gui utility | 21:41 |
| urlin2u | LeChacal, you need to add the keys. | 21:41 |
| dr_willis | Some days - you just have to hunkerdown and learn grub2 :) its worth the effort. | 21:42 |
| _cb | Am testing Zimbra, which is a collaboration platform, on Ubuntu Server. Would like testing as a virtual machine. What hypervisors should I look at for Ubuntu server? | 21:42 |
| filo1234 | DBordelo: so NM doesn't write in interfaces | 21:42 |
| dariushall21 | Does anyone know how to fix it? It's getting ridiculousness. | 21:42 |
| dariushall21 | Lol auto correct | 21:42 |
| dr_willis | dariushall21: could be you are just doing some mistake and telling it the wrong location. | 21:42 |
| filo1234 | DBordelo: maybe you need to rename device in NM too, but I'm not sure, I don't use GUI | 21:42 |
| urlin2u | LeChacal, sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys (key) | 21:42 |
| DBordelo | filo1234, that is unfortunate. I can no longer access NM | 21:43 |
| filo1234 | why not? | 21:43 |
| LeChacal | urlin2u, I added the keys a long time ago for the 3rd party ones when I first added them. Did they all expire recently or something? Also I tried readding the virtulbox key with no change. | 21:43 |
| DBordelo | filo1234, well, not easily. It is headless, no X session | 21:43 |
| dariushall21 | dr_willis It says "Completed with no error reports" I followed every instructions and it worked once, but I did a manditory update and now it's back at the grub rescue screen. | 21:44 |
| filo1234 | DBordelo: so how you had setted network by GUI if don't have X? | 21:44 |
| TMKCodes | Anyone can help me? Watching only this wallpaper is not nice. | 21:44 |
| DBordelo | filo1234, I orginally had X | 21:44 |
| urlin2u | LeChacal, not sure are they ppa's thta may not support your setup now like with a upgrade. there are a huge amount of 3rd party contacts naming the problem ones seems logical....eh. | 21:45 |
| filo1234 | DBordelo: well you can configure /etc/network/interfaces manually and it bypass NM | 21:45 |
| dr_willis | dariushall21: you may want to start by making up a pastebin for the chann el to see with the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and a summary of what you have tried so far. | 21:45 |
| dr_willis | dariushall21: could be as simple as your bios/pc tryingto boot the wrong HD also. | 21:45 |
| dr_willis | dariushall21: i had a pc try to boot grub off a usb i had plugged in.. :) when i wanted it to boot the HD. | 21:46 |
| dariushall21 | I can't do that on a computer that doesn't boot. I only have one hd, and I have tried a mbr repair like everyone suggests | 21:46 |
| filo1234 | DBordelo: do you have access to that machines without network connection? | 21:46 |
| dr_willis | dariushall21: live cd - would be handy in that case | 21:46 |

| jordan4ibanez | hello | 22:15 |
| teratoma | _jason: i was able to install it with no fuss with synaptic. what am i doing wrong? | 22:16 |
| jordan4ibanez | i need some serious help..i have a 500 gb jfs / filesystem ..and i have a 20gb ext2 mounted on / too ..how to i unmount the 20 gb..because it says its mounted when i try to mount it..but then it says its unmounted when i try to unmount it..i am confused >.< | 22:17 |
| heat1 | bastidrazor: this is my repositoty list: http://pastebin.com/RzH8S3Jv | 22:17 |
| jordan4ibanez | any one? | 22:18 |
| angela- | hi all muon is a deb pagage what to do whit it its like sinaptic? | 22:18 |
| urlin2u | LeChacal, cool I was a bit stumped. :D | 22:19 |
| heat1 | bastidrazor: are you there? | 22:19 |
| bastidrazor | heat1: you have hardy repositories added in that list. that is a great way to break your system. | 22:20 |
| MonkeyDust | angela- why do you want to use it, if you don't know what it is? | 22:20 |
| WhiteOwl-m | ebox/zentyal is not supported for ubuntu server 11.10? | 22:20 |
| bastidrazor | heat1: look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for more. i would guess the wine repository is listed there. | 22:20 |
| angela- | dont no | 22:20 |
| ok_wait | jordan4ibanez, you can't unmount / when you're running the os that sits on it. use a live cd if you really need it unmounted | 22:21 |
| heat1 | bastidrazor: yeah, But I'd like to reset that list from internet | 22:21 |
| auronandace | !ebox | WhiteOwl-m | 22:21 |
| MonkeyDust | !info muon | 22:21 |
| ubottu | WhiteOwl-m: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 22:21 |
| ubottu | muon (source: muon): package manager for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 81 kB, installed size 328 kB | 22:21 |
| jordan4ibanez | no no no...THERE ARE 2 MOUNTED TO / ..but the 20 gb isnt actually mounted to anything | 22:21 |
| heat1 | bastidrazor: How can I do that? | 22:21 |
| jordan4ibanez | but its mounted and unmounted at the same thing | 22:21 |
| _jason | teratoma: my guess is that waht you see is not related to intalling syslog-ng but instead to some other problem with your package state (see the end of what you pastebinned) | 22:22 |
| michaelgamble | does anyone know if their is a way to force gnome to autologin as a specific user on start up | 22:22 |
| jordan4ibanez | :( | 22:23 |
| MonkeyDust | michaelgamble System Settings - User accounts | 22:23 |
| michaelgamble | yeah I'm having difficulty doing it through the gui | 22:23 |
| bastidrazor | heat1: comment (add a #) to lines 57 and 59 on http://pastebin.com/RzH8S3Jv .. also look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for other lists | 22:24 |
| auronandace | jordan4ibanez: what is the output of mount? | 22:24 |
| michaelgamble | because the users generated aren't all showing up in the users gui | 22:24 |
| jordan4ibanez | Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on / mount failed | 22:24 |
| bastidrazor | heat1: also line 54. | 22:24 |
| jordan4ibanez | i think its my fstab | 22:25 |
| MonkeyDust | michaelgamble start from the beginning, what have you done and tried, before you came here for advice | 22:25 |
| michaelgamble | installed zentyal | 22:25 |
| michaelgamble | created a user through its webgui | 22:25 |
| auronandace | jordan4ibanez: what is the output of mount? no options just: mount | 22:25 |
| Jordan_U | jordan4ibanez: Please pastebin your /etc/mtab and your /proc/mounts . | 22:25 |
| bastidrazor | jordan4ibanez: it appears your fstab is trying to mount two seperate partitions to the same place. pastebin your /etc/fstab | 22:25 |

| filo1234 | do you have installed Ubuntu on jfs partition? | 22:30 |

| heat1 | bastidrazor: the error dissapear... | 22:31 |
| jordan4ibanez | if you are talking to me then yes i am | 22:31 |
| nordle | Hello. Using the Open Source ATI driver (ati), no xorg.conf. When I get into desktop, the screen has many many blue lines and all the edges of everything look slightly wavey. Is it running incorrect sync maybe? | 22:31 |
| heat1 | bastidrazor: Bye | 22:31 |
| jordan4ibanez | ok guys i will show you what is wrong i will brb | 22:31 |
| nivyaj | i installed ubuntu10.04 yesterday after wiping my hard drive. It seems to be super sluggish ever since i installed flash.... any clue what i should do? | 22:31 |
| filo1234 | Jordan_U: yes sorry I was talking with you :) | 22:32 |
| filo1234 | pffff jordan4ibanez | 22:32 |
| jordan4ibanez | the filesystem is not clean >.> | 22:32 |
| thwest | i seem to have borked my apt-get on 10.04. i accidentally removed a flash drive without umount, and dpkg at some point complained it couldnt find /mount/thedrivename (not sure why it was looking). now `sudo apt-get install tofrodos` hangs at 'Unpacking replacement tofrodos...'. I can kill apt-get and clean the locks, etc. but it hangs at the same spot afterward | 22:32 |
| dr_willis | nivyaj: you mean the whole os is slow? or just when you are web surfing? | 22:32 |
| jordan4ibanez | http://imgur.com/MZThv | 22:33 |
| nivyaj | dr_willis: thanks for helping. on the whole, i believe it's slow | 22:33 |
| filo1234 | jordan4ibanez: but sdb1 / is just mounted, why you want remount it? | 22:34 |
| nivyaj | before dl'ing java, jre, and flash it was super fast tho. | 22:34 |
| nivyaj | sorry- java and openjdk | 22:35 |
| jordan4ibanez | isnt the 20 gb supposed to come up as a second hard disk? | 22:35 |
| dr_willis | nivyaj: flash whouldent be affecting the whole os. Neither should java. | 22:35 |
| FuZi0N | hey | 22:35 |
| michaelgamble | any info for me on the autologin? | 22:35 |
| FuZi0N | how can i open the root folder in ubuntu using the gui files browser? | 22:35 |
| nivyaj | dr_willis: that's what i thought..... so I don't know how to troubleshoot from here to find the issue | 22:35 |
| jordan4ibanez | i am trying to mount it because i cannot find it | 22:35 |
| filo1234 | jordan4ibanez: what do you mean? | 22:36 |
| dr_willis | jordan4ibanez: what does 'sudo fdisk -l' say about the 2nd hd? | 22:36 |
| filo1234 | sdb1 is your / ( root directory ) | 22:36 |
| growl | Hey guys quick question if i dual boot using Ubuntu 11.10 what is a safe partition size of my 80gb to give ubuntu? also i know its a winodoze question but whats the smallest possible size to have a Vista partition. the vista is for world of warcraft only!!! | 22:36 |
| jordan4ibanez | http://pastebin.com/8dBC8NbU | 22:37 |
| ok_wait | so who might possibly know someone who might possibly know where i could find the configuration file gnome-shell reads for font settings when it starts? | 22:37 |
| dr_willis | growl: perhaps 30gb. given how HUGE WoW can be.. | 22:37 |
| growl | wow is 16gb i think, windows even for just that prog would be oabout 20 gb then ya? | 22:37 |
| Jordan_U | jordan4ibanez: If you run "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/" it should mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/. Is there something else you're trying to accomplish? | 22:37 |
| growl | so i was thinking 35 g to 40g? | 22:38 |
| jordan4ibanez | yes im trying to use it for video recording | 22:38 |
| EvilResistance | growl: Vista: 10 - 15GB min for vista | 22:38 |
| growl | i seriously hate windows sorry to ask but does anyone know a vista irc equivilent to this room? | 22:38 |
| EvilResistance | growl: 20GB for Vista if you want it to be safe | 22:38 |
| EvilResistance | growl: ##windows | 22:38 |
| jordan4ibanez | thank you very much that worked :) | 22:38 |
| growl | on freenode? | 22:38 |

| _cb | If my intention is to run Ubuntu Server as a virtual machine on top of Virtualbox. Does it make any difference if I install Ubuntu desktop or Ubuntu server as the host os? | 22:41 |
| yumbo | _cb, no it does not matter | 22:41 |
| yumbo | _cb, but Ubuntu server might be more stable as a host os --> less crashes | 22:41 |
| jordan4ibanez | ok thank you | 22:42 |
| jordan4ibanez | have a good day sir :) | 22:42 |
| yumbo | _cb, any reason why you want to run Ubuntu server in a virtual machine in Ubuntu? | 22:42 |
| jolaren | I've installed jailkit and rssh.. Im now trying to connect with my limited user which works fine but Im able to break out of the jail with winscp.. whats up with that? | 22:43 |

| yumbo | Flying and swimming are live necessities for a bird and a fish, respectively | 22:52 |
| yumbo | playing wow is not | 22:52 |

| growl | jkj | 22:53 |
| MonkeyDust | i only play mahjong | 22:53 |
| haylo | man i had to take stuff | 22:53 |
| ok_wait | dr_willis, where can i find the font configuration file gnome-shell reads when it starts, i'm using oneiric | 22:53 |
| lytithwyn | haylo & growl: I only play tabletop games. ;) | 22:53 |
| === voidmain_ is now known as VE2HS | ||
| growl | i play wow and with my self | 22:53 |
| growl | ok so any thoughts on the alternatives to #windows room? | 22:53 |
| haylo | that is sort of obtuse | 22:53 |
| lytithwyn | growl: At that, I think it's time to roll initiative. | 22:53 |
| haylo | yes initiative | 22:54 |
| urlin2u | #ubuntu-offtopic gentelmen | 22:54 |
| growl | initiative? | 22:54 |
| dr_willis | ok_wait: could be in the gconf regiestry type thing. or in .config or ~/.gconf/ somewhere. I just use the gnome-tweak tool to tweak my fonts | 22:54 |
| lytithwyn | Sorry. | 22:54 |
| growl | i know its off topic just trying to find a room where it is on topic sorry Doc! | 22:54 |
| haylo | windows is never on topic in linux irc channels | 22:55 |
| guest-ks86mm | hey guys, my kernel paniced as it does, i had to hard restart as i always do, and now i can't log into my standard session, i have to use a guest session. any ideas? | 22:56 |
| dr_willis | guest-ks86mm: try logging in from console | 22:56 |
| ok_wait | dr_willis, does your gnome-tweak-tool actually change fonts other than the window title font? (including the scaling slider, none of mine work, except for window title) what's weird is when i change the default font and 'notify-send "fsdlj" "sdlkjfsdlk"' the font is applied to the message | 22:57 |
| growl | :( welll i found one guy to talk to over at ##windows...seems kinda sad really, says lots about windozers | 22:57 |
| guest-ks86mm | dr_willis, how do i do that? | 22:58 |
| dr_willis | ok_wait: never noticed. Im on a headless server 99% of the time for the last 3 mionths | 22:58 |
| lytithwyn | growl: I think it's just because getting support on IRC tends to be an open-source thing. | 22:58 |
| Wurgasm | I'm actually impressed about how many people are in here | 22:59 |
| lytithwyn | growl: There might be a stackexchange.com site where your question might be answered. | 22:59 |

| yumbo | dr_willis, headless means without monitor/GUI ? | 23:02 |
| hbmt | haylo: As I understand it, Ubuntu is originaly /based on/ Debian (like half the other distros seem to be), but there are a lot of important differences between the two. | 23:03 |
| jolaren | When I try to connect with WinSCP on my limited user I cannot connect after adding user to chroot.. what cna I do? nothing seems wrong in /etc/rssh.conf | 23:03 |
| alkafoo | hbmt: such as? | 23:03 |
| alkafoo | jolaren: you shouldn't need a chroot if you're already using rssh | 23:03 |
| Odaym | this is completely off-topic, but I really could use some help in this formal document I was sent, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19390574/Screenshot.png | 23:03 |
| lytithwyn | yumbo: Since dr_willis dropped for a moment, I'll answer your question. Yes, headless usually refers to running a machine without a monitor and interacting with it via ssh/telnet | 23:03 |
| Odaym | what do I fill in the first blank?.. | 23:04 |
| hbmt | alkafoo: The inclusion of non-free software in Ubuntu springs to mind. | 23:04 |
| antiPosix | in the past few years some things have changed and I've been meaning to inquire... My eth0 used to get its static address from the interfaces file, now all I see in that file is the loopback device. Can someone explain where/how my server gets its static IP address that I configured throught the GUI? | 23:04 |
| jolaren | alkafoo: seems no matter what I do I can still break out of dir with WinSCP | 23:04 |
| yumbo | lytithwyn, thanks for answering | 23:04 |
| haylo | thanks hbmt im studying linux so.. :) | 23:04 |
| alkafoo | Odaym: http://www.google.com/search?q=groklaw+irc | 23:04 |
| hbmt | haylo: Oh, cool. For fun, or for some kind of class project? | 23:05 |
| alkafoo | jolaren: have you tried reading the rssh instructions? | 23:05 |
| guest-ks86mm | hi, after a kernel panic i can't log into an xubuntu session of my regular user. any ideas? | 23:05 |
| antiPosix | the rssh faq is hillarious, I was reading it last week | 23:05 |
| lytithwyn | yumbo: No problem. Time for me to disappear, too. 18:00 came none too early. ;) | 23:05 |
| alkafoo | hbmt: Ubuntu makes that a pain also, not as much as Debian it's true | 23:05 |
| lytithwyn | \quit | 23:05 |
| jolaren | alkafoo: I have.. have you ever set this thing up? Do you know what I'm meaning when I say that I'm able to breakout of my directory even after chroot/jailkit and rssh | 23:05 |
| haylo | hbmt, well it started as fun. But now i am taking classes on linux :) | 23:05 |
| jolaren | :/ | 23:05 |
| alkafoo | antiPosix: hilariously bad, or actually hilarious? =) | 23:05 |
| alkafoo | jolaren: yeah | 23:05 |
| antiPosix | alkafoo: the dev explains that he is lazy, funny stuff | 23:05 |
| alkafoo | but you shouldn't need a chroot, rssh alone should suffice | 23:06 |
| alkafoo | antiPosix: well yes, and IIRC he doesn't even use it, right? | 23:06 |
| alkafoo | lazy ftw | 23:06 |
| alkafoo | lazy = software | 23:06 |
| antiPosix | alkafoo: correct, he doesnt even use rssh, hah! | 23:06 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: you can log into Xfce with another user? | 23:06 |
| antiPosix | alkafoo: only because he doesnt have a need to, but still its pretty funny to read through | 23:06 |
| guest-ks86mm | i dont have another user. but i can start a guest session, which i'm in now | 23:07 |
| alkafoo | antiPosix: yeah =P | 23:07 |
| alkafoo | honesty is funny | 23:07 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: so... that works? | 23:07 |
| Joshhsoj0 | is there a way to turn on IOMMU | 23:07 |
| WhiteOwl-m | which repository do I add for zentyal on ubuntu oneiric 11.10? | 23:07 |
| glioros | how can i install ffmpeg on ubuntu 10.4 ? | 23:07 |
| alkafoo | a user is a user, even if its name is 'guest' | 23:07 |
| w30 | guest-ks86mm, check th ownership of the home files of the locked out user;, they should be thatuser:thatuser | 23:07 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: try moving ~/.cache/ from your ordinary user's /home/ directory to somewhere else temporarily | 23:07 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: if those don't work you can try moving everything in ~/ elsewhere temporarily | 23:08 |
| alkafoo | if that doesn't work you have real problems | 23:08 |
| guest-ks86mm | alkafoo ok, i can move that directory | 23:08 |
| w30 | guest-ks86mm, check th ownership of the home files of the locked out user;, they should be thatuser:thatuser | 23:08 |
| guest-ks86mm | alkafoo, how do i check ownershiop? | 23:08 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: ls -al | 23:08 |
| guest-ks86mm | what is thatuser:thatuser? | 23:08 |
| haylo | ls -l shows permissions for non hidden | 23:08 |
| guest-ks86mm | my username is brad | 23:08 |
| Nillerz | Hey, my internal speaker works and my external doesn't. When I attach my external speakers to an MP3 player they work, when I attach them to my laptop they don't. | 23:08 |
| guest-ks86mm | so it would be brad:bard | 23:09 |
| hbmt | alkafoo: one of the main reasons I use Ubuntu is actually their relatively lenient view of non-free software. I run it on my old laptop, which needs ancient non-free drivers for the wireless card. I probably COULD dig up the driver myself and install it manually on anotehr system, but it would be a bit of a pain. | 23:09 |
| haylo | ls -la for long list of all | 23:09 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: right | 23:09 |
| w30 | guest-ks86mm, ls -la will tell you or else left-click and click permissions | 23:09 |
| alkafoo | hbmt: it's the same as Debian IME, though they do have the "one-click" enable stuff in their GUI config area | 23:09 |
| alkafoo | which admittedly is cute, when it works | 23:09 |
| guest-ks86mm | alkafoo, ok, so i'll go into one of the tty's ctrl+alt+f6 and i'll do an ls-al | 23:09 |
| w30 | to change permissions sudo chown thatuser:thatuser filesthat need changing | 23:10 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: you can probably ls -al /home/brad/ from your guest user | 23:10 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: but you could switch tty, too | 23:10 |
| guest-ks86mm | alkafoo and i should see brad:brad for the owner | 23:10 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: yup | 23:10 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: might check what the permissions on the directory /home/brad are, too (ls -al /home/) | 23:10 |
| guest-ks86mm | i can't get into home, probably because it is encrpyted | 23:11 |
| w30 | guest-ks86mm, especially .Xauthority and .Xdefaults | 23:11 |
| guest-ks86mm | so i'll try ttying | 23:11 |
| guest-ks86mm | where are those files? | 23:11 |
| guest-ks86mm | you mean i especcialy care about the ownership, which i'll see with an ls -al | 23:11 |
| guest-ks86mm | ? | 23:11 |
| guest-ks86mm | w30, where are those two files? | 23:11 |
| alkafoo | guest-ks86mm: /home/brad/ | 23:12 |
| w30 | guest-ks86mm, they are dot files that start with a dot and tus are hidden normally ls -la asks them to show their hand. | 23:12 |
| w30 | tus/thus | 23:12 |
| haylo | cntrl-h shows them in you gui file browser | 23:13 |
| hbmt | alkafoo: The difference is that Ubuntu includes non-free drivers by default, right on the installation disk. Which makes things a lot simpler for new users trying to install the system on an old machine designed with Windows in mind. | 23:13 |
| jolaren | Is there anyway for me to hide other users homefolders in WinSCP? | 23:13 |
| haylo | hbmt, i agree | 23:13 |
| glioros | Guys I am trying though this command sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall git libfaac-dev libjack-jackd2-dev \ libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev \ libva-dev libvdpau-dev libvorbis-dev libx11-dev libxfixes-dev texi2html yasm zlib1g-dev | 23:13 |
| alkafoo | hbmt: they do? | 23:14 |
| glioros | to Get all of the packages you will need to install FFmpeg and x264 | 23:14 |
| alkafoo | hbmt: name one | 23:14 |
| glioros | and when entering this command i am getting an error | 23:14 |
| Wurgasm | only problem I had with an old system with the incompatibility with broadcom wifi, I couldn't get it to work | 23:14 |
| hbmt | alkafoo: One what? | 23:14 |
| alkafoo | jolaren: that's overkill, but you could use a chroot for that, yes | 23:14 |
| glioros | Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done E: Couldn't find package libfaac-dev | 23:14 |
| alkafoo | a chroot jail | 23:14 |
| glioros | any ideas? | 23:14 |
| alkafoo | jolaren: or look into lxc | 23:14 |
| haylo | alkafoo try puppy linux and you will see what he means :) | 23:14 |
| alkafoo | hbmt: non-free driver that Ubuntu includes on install media that Debian doesn't | 23:14 |
| overclucker | glioros: /msg ubottu !info libfaac | 23:14 |
| alkafoo | haylo: what who means? | 23:14 |
| overclucker | oops | 23:15 |
| alkafoo | haylo: oh, we're just talking about vs Debian | 23:15 |
| alkafoo | puppy doesn't have anything at all =P the comparison is a waste of time | 23:15 |
| glioros | <ubottu> Package libfaac does not exist in oneiric | 23:15 |
| haylo | oh i see yeah they are basically the same except for add driver program | 23:15 |
| haylo | well the comparison is case in point | 23:15 |
| guest-ks86mm | w30, it says brad brad in the 3rd and 4th columns when i tty ls -al | 23:16 |
| Joshhsoj0 | can anyone help me enable IOMMU? | 23:16 |
| overclucker | that would be libfaac-dev | 23:16 |
| haylo | if you know the awnser to your own question then stfu | 23:16 |
| hbmt | alkafoo: Oh. I can't remember the actual filename, but the wifi driver for the computer I'm on now was included in Ubuntu, and not in Debian. | 23:16 |
| Troy_ | any of you use kubuntu? my gnome session wont start so i installed xubuntu, yes its nice and light but just doesnt feel like a full desktop experience | 23:16 |
| overclucker | !info libfaac | glioros | 23:17 |
| ubottu | glioros: Package libfaac does not exist in oneiric | 23:17 |
| overclucker | !info libfaac-dev | glioros | 23:17 |
| ubottu | glioros: libfaac-dev (source: faac): AAC audio encoder (development). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.28-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 40 kB, installed size 140 kB | 23:17 |
| DoctorD | How i start a software that i installed with Ubuntu Software Center and doesn't appear in the Applications MENU? | 23:17 |
| alkafoo | Troy_: you just mentioned kubuntu and xubuntu | 23:17 |
| glioros | E: Couldn't find package libfaac-dev | 23:17 |
| w30 | guest-ks86mm, then permissions are not your problem then for brad | 23:17 |
| guest-ks86mm | alkafoo, the permissions of the folder /home/brad are drwx----- | 23:17 |
| glioros | how to find it ? | 23:17 |
| bastidrazor | Troy_: review ~/.xsession-errors when you try to start ubuntu. it may give clues as to why it fails | 23:17 |
| alkafoo | Troy_: KDE is pretty nice, I find lots of former Windows users prefer it | 23:17 |
| guest-ks86mm | w30, i havent moved .cache folder yet, should i try? | 23:17 |
| bastidrazor | glioros: you need to enable multiverse repository. | 23:18 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: dpkg -L packagename | grep bin is the very low level way | 23:18 |
| wwwd | DoctorD: What software? | 23:18 |
| DoctorD | swftools | 23:18 |
| Troy_ | bastidrazor: my gnome session will login and then it locks up no bars load etc. | 23:18 |
| haylo | kde offers a comrehensive desktop package that you can use on other distro and even bsd i think | 23:18 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: yes, dpkg -L swftools | grep bin | 23:18 |
| overclucker | glioros: what bastidrazor said | 23:18 |
| glioros | bastidrazor how to enable enable multiverse repository ? | 23:18 |
| alkafoo | all commandline apps, so not likely to be put in any menus | 23:18 |
| DoctorD | thx alkafoo | 23:18 |
| Troy_ | haylo: yes, i dont want anything to bulky either, i was a super big gnome2 fan | 23:19 |
| alkafoo | some versions of swftools don't come with all the executables their website mentions they have, heads up | 23:19 |
| overclucker | glioros: do you wnat to do it through gui, or command line? | 23:19 |
| alkafoo | not sure what the reasoning is for that | 23:19 |
| glioros | I dont have user interface. It is a dedicated server | 23:19 |
| glioros | command line through putty | 23:19 |
| antiPosix | NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired\ connection\ 1 seems to have my IP address, what part of the boot process calls it? | 23:19 |
| haylo | Troy_, it is very bulky and slow | 23:19 |
| bastidrazor | glioros: software sources > Ubuntu Software > check multiverse.. 4th on the list | 23:19 |
| antiPosix | /etc/init.d/networking doesnt seem to be called in runlevel 2 | 23:20 |
| Troy_ | haylo: :S | 23:20 |
| w30 | guest-ks86mm, that would be a good check but save it; also if that don't work you can mv the whole brad home directory for diagnostic purposes | 23:20 |
| haylo | but everything thats not cli is pretty much cept for maybe lmde | 23:20 |
| haylo | lxde* | 23:20 |
| glioros | bastidrazor i can access the server only with ssh | 23:20 |
| DoctorD | alkafoo: i typed that command in the terminal and doesn't appear nothing on my screen.. | 23:20 |
| bastidrazor | glioros: uncomment the multiverse line in /etc/apt/sources.list then sudo apt-get update | 23:21 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: are you sure it was named 'swftools'? Are you sure you installed it? | 23:21 |
| DoctorD | alkafoo: yes, swftools | 23:21 |
| glioros | bastidrazor how to uncomment the mutliverse line? | 23:21 |
| jxlIsAGeek | Troy_: are you able to log into console? | 23:21 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: try sudo apt-get install swftools | 23:21 |
| bastidrazor | glioros: delete the # at the beginning of the line | 23:21 |
| overclucker | glioros: remove the # | 23:21 |
| Troy_ | jxlIsAGeek: of course i can use my xubuntu session | 23:22 |
| DoctorD | alkafoo: swftools is already the newest version | 23:22 |
| jxlIsAGeek | Troy_: sorry, didn't noticed it | 23:22 |
| glioros | how can i remove # ? | 23:22 |
| bastidrazor | glioros: are you being silly or just trolling? | 23:22 |
| haylo | serious just highlight it and press delete | 23:23 |
| DoctorD | alkafoo: if it not works..or isn't anyway to use it...what other swf decompiler is available ? | 23:23 |
| overclucker | glioros: use a command line text editor, such as nano, vim, or emacs, ... | 23:23 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: which swfextract | 23:23 |
| DoctorD | alkafoo: what do you mean ? | 23:23 |
| glioros | overclucker: I am using putty to connect to the server | 23:23 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: it's a command: which swfextract | 23:24 |
| DoctorD | alkafoo: what should i do with it? i typed and : /usr/bin/swfextract | 23:24 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: okay, so it's installed, but for some reason dpkg -L is failing, odd | 23:24 |
| overclucker | glioros: nano might be the easiest choice, if you have no experience with vim, emacs. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:24 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: the executable names match the names in bold here: http://www.swftools.org/ | 23:25 |
| overclucker | glioros: to save changes and quit nano do ctrl-o, ctrl-x | 23:25 |
| DoctorD | alkafoo: alright.. | 23:25 |
| alkafoo | if you can't figure out how to do stuff in nano, you should just stop using a computer =) | 23:25 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: what're you trying to do exacdtly? | 23:25 |
| alkafoo | exactly | 23:25 |
| glioros | sudo: nano: command not found | 23:26 |
| DoctorD | what to decompile a swf file from a website | 23:26 |
| DoctorD | like, for example how you do in win32 with SWF Decompiler | 23:26 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: swftools doesn't make that quite as easy, IME | 23:26 |
| iceroot | glioros: you are using ubuntu? or a derivat? | 23:26 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: you might want to use Wine with a win32 app | 23:26 |
| overclucker | hey, i had no clue how to save and exit the first time i used it | 23:26 |
| alkafoo | overclucker: ... | 23:26 |
| DoctorD | alkafoo: alright..i'll use wine. | 23:27 |
| DoctorD | damn..i hate win32 | 23:27 |
| Barnabas | alkafoo, the level off users are not the issue here, more do you want to help them or not | 23:27 |
| glioros | iceroot: ubuntu 10.4 | 23:27 |
| alkafoo | DoctorD: not saying you can't do it with Unix utils, but it'll be less "easy" | 23:27 |
| haylo | thats not nice alkafoo | 23:27 |
| alkafoo | haylo: what isn't? | 23:27 |
| Barnabas | alkafoo, no | 23:28 |
| alkafoo | Barnabas: level isn't a factor | 23:28 |
| haylo | he should stop using a computer | 23:28 |
| Barnabas | alkafoo, yes it is | 23:28 |
| alkafoo | Barnabas: no what...? | 23:28 |
| alkafoo | no it isn't | 23:28 |
| DoctorD | @alkafoo: i understand and i know..it will be a day when i will be able to use the terminal more then the GUI | 23:28 |
| alkafoo | when you open nano it SAYS how to use it | 23:28 |
| haylo | lol ok :) | 23:28 |
| Barnabas | alkafoo, if you have nothing constructive to add put a sock in it | 23:28 |
| haylo | i had someone tell me that once and now i can do way more than most people | 23:28 |
| haylo | so maybe thats the right thing to say :) | 23:28 |
| alkafoo | that is constructive, if you cannot read something right in front of your face, you should get out of the reading business, it's going to be a waste of your time | 23:28 |
| alkafoo | time is important | 23:29 |
| haylo | lolz | 23:29 |
| Wurgasm | alkafoo is actually right, I learned how to use it yesterday... it says how to save and exit at the bottom | 23:29 |
| Barnabas | alkafoo, again by your standards and noone cares about them | 23:29 |
| bastidrazor | glioros: is this a vpn you've bought? | 23:29 |
| iceroot | alkafoo: if you want to help others, feel free to do that, if you want to tell them they are noobs, please stop it | 23:29 |
| antiPosix | does dbus have something to do with NetworkManager, and does that get initialized somehow during boot? | 23:29 |
| alkafoo | Barnabas: there are no standards involved | 23:29 |
| alkafoo | been helping others since I got here... | 23:29 |
| glioros | bastidrazor: yes | 23:29 |
| Barnabas | alkafoo, youre helping noone now | 23:29 |
| alkafoo | antiPosix: why do you ask? | 23:29 |
| overclucker | alkafoo: like everyone is supposed to know what ^X means | 23:30 |
| alkafoo | Barnabas: right now when you're monopolizing my _time_? Yes it's harder | 23:30 |
| alkafoo | overclucker: it says right next to it... | 23:30 |
| antiPosix | alkafoo: with U11.10 I cant figure out what part of the boot process is responsible for assigning my eth0 its IP | 23:30 |
| Barnabas | somebody kick this fool | 23:30 |
| * alkafoo rolls eyes | 23:30 | |
| === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral | ||
| alkafoo | antiPosix: do you want to change your IP? | 23:30 |
| iceroot | Barnabas: alkafoo lets stop that here and lets go back to topic (ubuntu support) | 23:30 |
| antiPosix | alkafoo: no | 23:30 |
| alkafoo | that'd be nice | 23:31 |
| antiPosix | alkafoo: I am trying to understand why the /etc/network/interfaces file is not used to assign my IP at boot anymore | 23:31 |
| haylo | alkafoo stop being a cyber bully and let the ubuntu admins handle their own channel | 23:31 |
| france_ | this is really usb 3.0 ? http://www.corsair.com/usb-drive/flash-voyager-usb-drives/flash-voyager-usb-3-32gb-short-usb-flashdrives.html | 23:31 |
| alkafoo | can't stop what I never started | 23:31 |
| Barnabas | iceroot, agree | 23:31 |
| bastidrazor | glioros: you may have to ask the provider to enable it. it seems they have disabled a few things you may need | 23:31 |
| Barnabas | iceroot, bullys should be stopped | 23:31 |
| alkafoo | antiPosix: what version did you say? | 23:31 |
| antiPosix | 11.10 | 23:31 |
| haylo | it is fun to awnser noob questions but when you make it into an abusive sport not coool | 23:31 |
| alkafoo | indeed, not | 23:32 |
| france_ | guys this is really 3.0 usb ? http://www.corsair.com/usb-drive/flash-voyager-usb-drives/flash-voyager-usb-3-32gb-short-usb-flashdrives.html | 23:32 |
| alkafoo | antiPosix: what do you have in the file? | 23:32 |
| iceroot | france_: ##hardware | 23:32 |
| Andrew131 | antiPosix, thats the file I used | 23:32 |
| alkafoo | france_: ...says it is | 23:32 |
| glioros | basidrazor: ok. so what i need them to enable ? please let me know to write them an email | 23:34 |
| Barnabas | france_ if it is not then I do not belive an usb flash drive would be impaired by usb2 | 23:34 |
| Barnabas | they are not that fast for starteres | 23:34 |
| Barnabas | starters | 23:34 |
| Andrew131 | I did recently have a time with trying to get my Realtek RTL8111 card to work though | 23:34 |
| lx-berlin | hi all, i just posted a question in the ubuntu server channel but i didnt get any answer. I just setup my first ubuntu server. it has a software raid1. but one disk is getting removed from the raid | 23:34 |
| bastidrazor | glioros: enable the multiverse repository. once they do this you can install packages from it. | 23:34 |
| Andrew131 | For some reason it wanted to load the r8169 driver and that worked sporadically | 23:35 |
| lx-berlin | so my question is, is sdb really faulty or is it maybe a raid configuration error. smart values of sdb: http://pastebin.com/1Txby5WG mdadm details: http://pastebin.com/S0PBPZxd | 23:37 |
| overclucker | glioros: ask them if there is a command line text editor you CAN use. Many tasks on a linux system require the editing of text files. | 23:37 |
| iceroot | glioros: can you provide the output of "cat /etc/issue" "whoami" and "dpkg -l nano" | 23:37 |
| Barnabas | haylo, there is no noob questions | 23:37 |
| alkafoo | lx-berlin: if you had another disk you could rule that out | 23:37 |
| glioros | iceroot: yes give me a minute | 23:38 |
| haylo | you know that was a response to someone Barnabas | 23:38 |
| haylo | not meant as an insult | 23:38 |
| haylo | noobs are real, just not cool ot put people down | 23:38 |
| haylo | to* | 23:38 |
| lx-berlin | alkafoo: but i dont to buy a new one. if my discs are fine and its a configuration error | 23:38 |
| iceroot | !paste | glioros | 23:38 |
| ubottu | glioros: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 23:38 |
| glioros | Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS \n \l , root , No packages found matching nano. | 23:38 |
| bastidrazor | haylo: you should use "someone's" nick so comments are directed at the correct person. | 23:38 |
| alkafoo | lx-berlin: right, just a suggestion, in case you had one lying around but hadn't thought of it | 23:39 |
| iceroot | glioros: so if you are root, there is no reason to use sudo | 23:39 |
| Barnabas | haylo, I have worked a lot with users, and if you look at them as noobs you are already figthing a loosing battle | 23:39 |
| iceroot | glioros: please use this "apt-get install nano" | 23:39 |
| kostya_ | Hi, where I can ask question about linux programming? | 23:39 |
| iceroot | kostya_: ##linux | 23:39 |
| alkafoo | kostya_: ##linux, #friendly-coders | 23:39 |
| kostya_ | Oh, thanks. | 23:39 |
| haylo | Barnabas, i really dont, and i think you are trying to reprogram your brain by making discrete language choices | 23:40 |
| glioros | iceroot: just install it | 23:40 |
| Barnabas | haylo, I just detest the term "noob" | 23:40 |
| Barnabas | thats all | 23:40 |
| iceroot | glioros: ok, now you can use "nano /etc/apt/sources.list" | 23:40 |
| haylo | ah i see Barnabas i won use it - it is pretty mean | 23:40 |
| Barnabas | it is | 23:41 |
| iceroot | glioros: nano is a text-base editor, search for the multiverseline and remove the #, after that, save the file (ctrl + x) | 23:41 |
| Vashta_Nerada | hey gang, i just set up an ftp server, not sure if i did it right... i try to log on as anonymous and it asks me for a password, blank doesn't work and i never log on successfully | 23:41 |
| iceroot | glioros: then running "apt-get update" and the multiverse repo should be usable | 23:41 |
| lx-berlin | so, anyone familiar with smart data who can tell me if this hdd is faulty or not: http://pastebin.com/1Txby5WG | 23:41 |
| alkafoo | Vashta_Nerada: ftp isn't particularly secure, sure that's what you want? | 23:41 |
| glick | hi quick question does anyone know why when i try to scp a file it keeps stalling? the web says to use th -l option but my scp doesnt have a -l option | 23:41 |
| glick | any ideas | 23:41 |
| iceroot | glioros: also, if possible please dont use the root-account directly, use sudo instead | 23:41 |
| iceroot | !sudo | glioros | 23:41 |
| ubottu | glioros: 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 | 23:41 |
| motherbrain | I was at a grocery store and I was looking at the computer hardware they have at the check out line , i.e the scanner ,... I think the company is named or abbrev. as NCR. Does anybody know how this scan software is setup...i,e do they use windows os ,... | 23:41 |
| alkafoo | glick: like pausing and then continuing? | 23:41 |
| Vashta_Nerada | alkafoo: no i'm not particularly sure what do you suggest? | 23:42 |
| glick | alkafoo: no just stalling and thats it | 23:42 |
| alkafoo | motherbrain: what's on the monitor would be more telling | 23:42 |
| glick | it doesnt start again | 23:42 |
| haylo | it uses barcode tech, the program is free in linux motherbrain | 23:42 |
| alkafoo | motherbrain: using OSes other than Windows is pretty popular for things like that, though | 23:42 |
| glioros | iceroot: i cant find # in nano /etc/apt/sources.list so to remove it. sorry for that i am new to all this. | 23:42 |
| motherbrain | well it is one of those touch screen ( I am talking about big-Y grocery stores ) | 23:43 |
| alkafoo | glick: is there another transfer system you can try between those two boxes? | 23:43 |
| iceroot | glioros: can you paste the oputout of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" | 23:43 |
| Vashta_Nerada | i'm kinda just getting things up and running for now ftp would suit my purposes, i have ssh configured, but i cant seem to transfer files | 23:43 |
| glick | not really | 23:43 |
| haylo | motherbrain, you miss the point that scanner is a program that works with a device | 23:43 |
| iceroot | glioros: no need for a sorry, everyone was a starter first | 23:43 |
| alkafoo | motherbrain: could be anything, does it matter? | 23:43 |
| iceroot | glioros: just please remember this "its not a good idea to host a public system if you dont know how to handle the system" | 23:44 |
| haylo | download the bar code scanner rog motherbrain and you tell us | 23:44 |
| w30 | Vashta_Nerada, what server did you install? I have proftpd installed and it's config file has an anonymous section that just has to have th # beginning removed. | 23:44 |
| glioros | deb http://mirrors.webfusion.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted universe deb http://mirrors.webfusion.com/ubuntu lucid-updates main restricted universe deb http://mirrors.webfusion.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted universe | 23:44 |
| john_doe_jr | does ubuntu have a convert pdf to html program? | 23:44 |
| alkafoo | Vashta_Nerada: well if you want something secure, you can use the ssh server with "sftp" or scp | 23:44 |
| pp7 | how to fix this bug?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPqpxXldLlA | 23:44 |
| alkafoo | Vashta_Nerada: also might /just work/ instead of giving you configuration issues | 23:44 |
| Vashta_Nerada | ubuntu 11.10 | 23:44 |
| john_doe_jr | does ubuntu have a convert pdf to html program? anybody? | 23:45 |
| iceroot | glioros: put the word "multiverse" at every end of a line | 23:45 |
| pp7 | john_doe_jr: doesnt open office do it? | 23:45 |
| Vashta_Nerada | well thank you both w30 and alkafoo, i'll look into all that | 23:45 |
| motherbrain | Well what I want to know is when you insert your card where does the cable go from the card reader ...i.e is it cat5e is it builtin to the card to send it to a database or something... | 23:45 |
| iceroot | glioros: deb http://mirrors.webfusion.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted universe multiverse | 23:45 |
| john_doe_jr | pp7, I don't know I'll look | 23:46 |
| alkafoo | john_doe_jr: is it digital text, or photographs? | 23:46 |
| tony_ | is it possible to block certain portions of a website from a server | 23:46 |
| glioros | iceroot: okay just a minute | 23:46 |
| haylo | yes open office can make like fifteen different types of files john_doe_jr | 23:46 |
| alkafoo | Vashta_Nerada: oh also, one of my favorite episodes =) | 23:46 |
| john_doe_jr | alkafoo, nope just text | 23:46 |
| Resistance | tony_: block from a server, or hide from the internet? | 23:46 |
| ok_wait | ok so i've discovered that when you change the window title font in gnome-tweak-tool, it changes the 'titlebar_font' value in gconf-editor under apps/metacity/general. the window theme string is there to and it works when changed but only after gnome-shell is restarted. where is the configuration for the other fonts? | 23:46 |
| Vashta_Nerada | alkafoo: isn't it though? | 23:47 |
| Vashta_Nerada | :) | 23:47 |
| alkafoo | john_doe_jr: pdftotext from poppler will probably work, you probably already have it | 23:47 |
| Dougwiser | http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf-to-html/ | 23:47 |
| alkafoo | Moffat ftw | 23:47 |
| john_doe_jr | alkafoo, I'm still starting up virtual box ....didn't have it opened | 23:48 |
| motherbrain | typically how do they hook a card reader (ones for a debit , credit card ,...etc) up to computer ? | 23:48 |
| alkafoo | john_doe_jr: have what opened? | 23:48 |
| Resistance | motherbrain: that's a hardware question | 23:48 |
| alkafoo | motherbrain: usb, driver, OS | 23:48 |
| john_doe_jr | alkafoo, I use virtualbox..I had to start it up | 23:48 |
| alkafoo | motherbrain: there's hardware and drivers for every OS out there | 23:48 |
| Resistance | motherbrain: as well, there's software which processes input of the data | 23:48 |
| alkafoo | john_doe_jr: ah | 23:48 |
| tony_ | resistance, block from a server | 23:49 |
| haylo | motherbrain, if you look around you will see barcodes everywhere, i think i am going to make bar code scanner for my tablet | 23:49 |
| FluxD | In ubuntu 2d login, if I put compiz instead of metacity in the .desktop and xsession file, will it give me a pure compiz expereince without unity | 23:49 |
| Resistance | tony_: elaborate on what you mean, your statement is kind of ambiguous and therefore not able to be answered in its current state | 23:49 |
| Resistance | or not | 23:49 |
| john_doe_jr | alkafoo, I don't see pdftotext installed or in my repositories | 23:49 |
| alkafoo | john_doe_jr: it's an executable not a package, the package is poppler | 23:50 |
| alkafoo | john_doe_jr: run 'which pdftotext' | 23:50 |
| haylo | alkafoo, is happy agian and being nice :) | 23:50 |
| * alkafoo is always nice | 23:50 | |
| glioros | iceroot: okay just added multiverse | 23:50 |
| glioros | what i do now ? | 23:51 |
| haylo | alkafoo is always nice | 23:51 |
| iceroot | glioros: save it | 23:51 |
| Resistance | glioros: then update your sources, `sudo apt-get update` | 23:51 |
| Resistance | so your system knows what's in multiverse | 23:51 |
| iceroot | glioros: dont use sudo | 23:51 |
| Resistance | iceroot: is he in as root? | 23:51 |
| iceroot | glioros: ctrl + x to save to that file | 23:51 |
| iceroot | Resistance: yes | 23:51 |
| Resistance | iceroot: did you give the don't-use-root lecture yet? | 23:52 |
| iceroot | Resistance: sure | 23:52 |
| iceroot | Resistance: :) | 23:52 |
| glioros | iceroot: i have done everything you said and now i am getting a new error Package git is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package git has no installation candidate | 23:52 |
| Barnabas | ubotto should know that | 23:52 |
| Resistance | glioros: apt-get install git-core might work | 23:52 |
| iceroot | Resistance: i also gave the "dont host public server if you dont know what you are doing" | 23:52 |
| Resistance | iceroot: hehe | 23:52 |
| iceroot | glioros: you run "apt-get update? | 23:53 |
| Resistance | iceroot: is he trying to set up git repos or just set up git client | 23:53 |
| iceroot | Resistance: i dont know | 23:53 |
| haylo | Resistance, your software update didnt work try it agian | 23:53 |
| glioros | iceroot yes: also installed the git-core | 23:53 |
| glioros | and i get this error Package git is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package git has no installation candidate | 23:53 |

| glioros | iceroot: to install just ffmpeg | 23:55 |
| glioros | nothing more | 23:55 |
| iceroot | glioros: what? | 23:55 |
| alkafoo | staykov: you can do it with the file in /etc/ if you configure it enough | 23:55 |
| iceroot | glioros: and why git then? | 23:55 |
| glioros | please see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 | 23:55 |
| glioros | at Get all of the packages you will need to install FFmpeg and x264 | 23:56 |
| glioros | the second command is not working | 23:56 |
| staykov | haylo: problem is the monitor had an accident, now i have to go trough the process of logging in etc before i can ssh into it | 23:56 |

| iceroot | glioros: why you need the latest ffmpeg? | 23:56 |
| nanobyte | Where does apt-get search for downloads | 23:56 |
| haylo | staykov basically you need one password before yo can connect to wifi, unless you have some config experance | 23:56 |
| glioros | iceroot: i dont mind if it is an old version.. just to install it and it is a guide i found on the internet seems to be reliable | 23:56 |
| MonkeyDust | nanobyte in the ubuntu repos | 23:57 |
| glioros | i cant play with the server. there are 150 websites on it | 23:57 |
| iceroot | glioros: the page you showed me says "there is a different guide for 10.04" | 23:57 |
| Troy_ | http://www.convertpdftohtml.net/ for whoever was looking for a convertor | 23:57 |
| glioros | iceroot: okay how can i install ffmpeg | 23:57 |
| iceroot | !info ffmpeg lucid | 23:57 |

| Resistance | haylo: hm? | 23:57 |
| alkafoo | Troy_: most Linux installs come with an executable called 'pdftotext' | 23:57 |
| iceroot | glioros: just run "apt-get install ffmpeg" | 23:57 |
| iceroot | glioros: and please do me a favor, read the next texts from ubottu | 23:58 |
| Troy_ | alkafoo: didn't know that lol will it just be pdf to text or will it do the full html | 23:58 |
| iceroot | !repos | glioros | 23:58 |
| ubottu | glioros: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 23:58 |
| iceroot | !sudo | glioros | 23:58 |
| ubottu | glioros: 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 | 23:58 |
| w30 | FluxD, what worked for me was to open ccsm and uncheck unity and unity grab handles wall; check cube rotate cube and other window functions like move resize etc. and then export that file as a profile to home-something. Make a new ccsm profile and import that file as your new profile and choose to use that new profile. | 23:58 |
| iceroot | !root | glioros | 23:58 |
| ubottu | glioros: 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 | 23:58 |
| alkafoo | Troy_: just text, as the name implies | 23:58 |
| alkafoo | Troy_: there's also 'pdftohtml', but it doesn't really do what you might think it should | 23:58 |
| alkafoo | Troy_: (that is, it isn't very "good") | 23:58 |
| glick | what the hell why does scp keep stalling? | 23:58 |
| glick | ! | 23:58 |
| anynickname | glioros and ubottu, however, you can do "sudo su" to stay has root | 23:59 |
| alkafoo | glick: since it's probably not Ubuntu specific, you might get more exposure/help at ##linux | 23:59 |
| bastidrazor | anynickname: sudo -i is the proper method | 23:59 |
| Nemaanjaa | any way to reinstal python urllib2 module, Ive built the wrong oppened and now cant load any url with urllib2 | 23:59 |
| anynickname | and you can still do stuff like changing user to root (forgot the change user command) | 23:59 |
| Resistance | iceroot: you know > exists right? | 23:59 |
| FluxD | w30, the moment I uncheck unity everything freezes | 23:59 |
| Resistance | iceroot: it allows you to have the bot privmsg a factoid instead of channel message | 23:59 |
| iceroot | Resistance: yes but i like to control what ubottu is posting | 23:59 |
