| magicJ | I have a system where lpstat is telling me that the printer is stopped - I can cp to /dev/usb/lp0 but can not start it - this happens occasionally - when I reboot the jobs will print - whats happening - or how do I debug this | 00:01 |
| linky_ | All I want to do is have a link to my network drive onmy desktop, can anyone help me with this? | 00:01 |
| magicJ | Casey: I gave you a method | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | linky_: if you run: ls ~/.gvfs you will see the folder | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | linky_: you can then run: cd ~/Desktop; ln -s ~/.gvfs/foldername | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | linky_: use TAB to complete the folder name | 00:02 |
| ctcsadmin | I am using the nvidia drivers with an nvidia card | 00:02 |
| Casey | magicJ; it didn't get all the errors should i run it again? | 00:02 |
| test234251 | Hello everyone | 00:03 |
| linky_ | thank you | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ctcsadmin: once you install the driver, the system will automatically detect resolutions | 00:03 |
| magicJ | Casey: yes - it does seem that sometimes you need that | 00:03 |
| ctcsadmin | Hello, can anyone help me with a display configuration. | 00:03 |
| magicJ | Casey: it cetainly can not hurt | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ctcsadmin: if you run: nvidia-settings from dash you will get a GUI which you can configure your display | 00:04 |
| test234251 | I got a question for you guys, I have checked my /etc/passwd file and found some users called guest-XXXXXX where those X are random characters | 00:04 |
| Casey | magicJ: and i can run sudo fsck -n atfer it starts up to check the root FS and make sure it got the errors right? | 00:04 |
| test234251 | is it normal? or I just got hacked? | 00:04 |
| ctcsadmin | ActionParsnip, I tried that, it doesn't seem to stay, and it goes back to 4:3 mode even if I tell it to stay | 00:04 |
| ctcsadmin | ActionParsnip, how to I install a monitor? | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ctcsadmin: then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings then when you set the res, click "save to x config file" should be ok, my system does the same | 00:05 |
| test234251 | I also can't acccess my /etc/passwd file at all, both useradd and userdel commands are not working | 00:06 |
| metaspike | test234251, even with sudo? | 00:06 |
| test234251 | even with sudo | 00:06 |

| Keith__ | got a problem since I uploaded Ubuntu 11.10. When I rebooted after the install, I get a grub rescue prompt. I used the CD to load Ubuntu again but I need to know how to reload the grub. I have no experience on this, but now I cannot even load Windows. | 00:07 |
| test234251 | I get:the file can't be blocked | 00:07 |
| metaspike | is there an error msg? | 00:07 |
| Keith__ | no such device long string of letters | 00:07 |
| test234251 | I check the file then and find those apparently random guest users | 00:07 |
| metaspike | test234251, ps auxw | grep shadow | 00:08 |
| metaspike | is nothing is using it just - rm /etc/shadow.lock | 00:08 |
| test234251 | I get this: root 4413 0.0 0.0 5684 800 pts/0 S+ 01:09 0:00 grep --color=auto shadow | 00:09 |
| test234251 | so, what are those guest users on my /etc/passwd file? | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Keith__: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ | 00:10 |

| paolo11 | i have install jdownloader on reposity deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jd-team/jdownloader/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main but not open | 00:13 |
| paolo11 | i think the problem is java | 00:13 |
| JBunny | Hi everyone. I'd like to Dual Boot Ubuntu and XP. I have Ubuntu already so, how would I do this? | 00:13 |
| paolo11 | but i have java | 00:14 |
| paolo11 | about:plugins Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_27 | 00:14 |
| metaspike | paolo11, are you sure jdownloader is installed? ps if you want a download gui, check out fatrat | 00:14 |
| metaspike | that's just the plugin, you need the jre | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | fatrat rocks :) | 00:15 |
| diegofedora | hi | 00:15 |
| paolo11 | oh sorry now do upgrade | 00:15 |
| ctcsadmin | ActionParsnip, it found some resolutions, but the highest sized the screen so i cannot see the sides | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ctcsadmin: then use slightly lower, is it ok there? | 00:16 |
| test234251 | metaspike I made it! | 00:17 |
| test234251 | thank you very much | 00:17 |
| Ublunttu | ctcsadmin: I can talk you through the process of adding a resolution if you would like. | 00:17 |
| diegofedora | hello | 00:17 |
| test234251 | I deleted /etc/passwd.lock | 00:17 |
| test234251 | and shadow.lock | 00:17 |
| JBunny | I'd like to Dual Boot Ubuntu and XP. I have Ubuntu already so, how would I do this? | 00:17 |
| ctcsadmin | ActionParsnip, anything lower comes up as 4:3 and not 16:9 | 00:17 |
| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, sure but I don't even know what resolution I want…. | 00:18 |
| Ublunttu | JBunny: well, you would have to install xp then boot a live-cd and reintsll grub like sudo grub-insall /dev/sda | 00:18 |
| Ublunttu | ctcsadmin: 42" tv? 1920x1080 probably | 00:18 |
| acerimmer | JBunny: and make sure you have the windows XP recover DVD = just in case... | 00:18 |
| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, I'd like a readable resolution, and I'd also like HD movies in 720p and 1080p to display when I need them to | 00:18 |
| Ublunttu | ctcsadmin: pastebin for me please. xrandr -q | 00:18 |
| JBunny | Ublunttu: how would i partition my hdd? | 00:19 |
| Ublunttu | JBunny: uhh.... default setup with 1 ntfs partition at the end for xp ? | 00:19 |

| MestreLion | hey, ikonia and mongy, just a feedback for you guys: IT WORKED! :D that url mongy provided was really useful. The key to solve my issue was a misconfiguration in the alternatives system, which is the one that provides the symlinks to the driver's executables. It was on "manual", and must be set to "auto" before installing the debs. Once done, the debs worked frawlessly. Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! | 00:21 |
| metaspike | paolo11, sudo apt-get install default-jre | 00:21 |
| JBunny | ok, ill try. ty for the link acerimmer | 00:21 |
| acerimmer | JBunny: just take your time and follow the steps. IF I can do it, so can you | 00:22 |
| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, the maximum resolution is 1360x768 I know it can go higher than that. | 00:22 |
| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, is there a way to re auto detect? | 00:22 |
| Ublunttu | ctcsadmin: run in terminal cvt 1920 1080 | 00:22 |

| danger89 | How can we add your PPA/Package to the Official Ubuntu Universe Repository? | 00:24 |
| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, ok | 00:24 |

| Ublunttu | ctcsadmin: you do that? | 00:26 |
| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, yes got a few errors | 00:26 |
| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, ??? | 00:30 |
| Ublunttu | ctcsadmin: what error? | 00:30 |

| v0lksman | Hello All! I used a liveCD of 11.10 to test it out. It worked great with my g200 and I was able to setup dual screen in the "Displays" control panel. However once I did a full install it would not recognize that I had two monitors and I had to fall back to using nvidia-settings (and I think an xorg.conf file) to enable twinview which means Unity sees one big desktop not two smaller ones. Any ideas why the liveCD would work but not the full instal | 00:35 |
| v0lksman | I tried both the Recommended and version current-updates version of the restricted driver...didn't seem to make any difference | 00:35 |
| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, yes it shows | 00:36 |
| Carl_ | what if you ran the live cd again, and copied the xorg.conf? | 00:36 |
| Ublunttu | ctcsadmin: xrande --mode 1920x1080_60.00 | 00:36 |
| Ublunttu | xrandr | 00:37 |
| v0lksman | Carl_: is there an xorg.conf? my understanding is that xorg.conf is actually depricated and shouldn't be used | 00:37 |
| v0lksman | when I ran nvidia-settings and told it to save it complained saying there was no xorg.conf to backup... | 00:37 |

| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, pastebin.com/XQD6Gfzb | 00:43 |

| wrektjet | as using the compouters doesnt find anything (its a wirelss printer i am trying to connect to) | 00:43 |
| ActionParsnip | wrektjet: or use nmap | 00:43 |
| v0lksman | wrektjet: or login to your router/AP and look at the DHCP allocations | 00:43 |
| Ublunttu | ctcsadmin: 1920x720 isn't a real resolution. its either 1920x1080 or 1280x720 but usually 1360x768 or something weird (because of the chip most tv's use) | 00:45 |

| zenok | hello | 00:50 |
| vindav | Hi there. Am looking to get some advise for using FFmpeg in Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS, as I am encountering an increasing audio delay behind the video that I am actually seeing. Anybody know a fix for this ? | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zenok: yes, run the command and you'll see | 00:51 |
| Dreadtower | Trying to work out if my Ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Dreadtower: uname -r | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | sorry, -m | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Dreadtower: i686 == 32bit x86_64 == 64bit | 00:51 |
| Dreadtower | Thx - i686, so 64 bit I guess | 00:52 |
| Dreadtower | Thx again :) | 00:52 |
| ctcsadmin | Ublunttu, I don't know…. I think the display settings is all jacked up…I am using the default nvidia driver…. and ubuntu is what set all those low and max resolutions | 00:52 |
| Dreadtower | Good anticipation | 00:52 |
| zenok | ActionParsnip: Ok, i can see network 0 and 1. the insteresting is the network 0, since i think it is the wifi (the network 1 is ethernet) | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Dreadtower: no, 32bit | 00:52 |
| magicJ | Dreadtower: NO | 00:52 |
| Dreadtower | Ah! Sorry - yes - I see | 00:52 |
| Ublunttu | ctcsadmin: yea im not sure either | 00:52 |
| magicJ | Dreadtower: and ActionParsnip I run 32 on a 64 bitmachine and that is what I get | 00:52 |
| Ublunttu | ActionParsnip: if xrandr -q says his max res is 1360 x 768 is that cause thats what framebuffer max is set to or something in grub he needs to change ? | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | zenok: what is the product line of the wireless ? | 00:53 |
| Dreadtower | I seem to have 3.0.0-14-generic-oae i686 | 00:53 |
| Dreadtower | s/oae/pae/ | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | magicJ: uname -m is the kernel arch, not the cpu | 00:53 |
| zenok | ActionParsnip: ISL3886 (prism javelin/Prism xbow) | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Dreadtower: cool, you have a 32bit kernel with pae enabled, you can access up to 64Gb RAM :) | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | zenok: ok, use that to find guides | 00:54 |
| Dreadtower | Thx ActionParsnip: Does this mean I should download 64 bit apps. then? | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Dreadtower: they won't run in a 32bit OS | 00:55 |
| Dreadtower | Yeah: I kinda guessed that :) | 00:55 |

| markitman2 | I gets stranger, disk usage analyzer says I am using 266 out of 283, but the root directory is only using 170 and the only other partitions are a 10 Gi | 00:58 |
| markitman2 | 10 GiB extended swap | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | kingisher64: you mean global menu? | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | markitman2: how much ram do you have? | 00:59 |
| magicJ | ActionParsnip: so why then am I getting the i686 if it is the case that it is reporting the kernel technology and you say that is 64 bit | 00:59 |
| Ublunttu | markitman2: why do you have a 10gig swap ? | 00:59 |

| v0lksman | so I just rebooted onto the liveCD, it claims no proprietary drivers. So I removed proprietary drivers from the install and rebooted but exact same result. Only sees one monitor not both. Grrrr... | 01:01 |
| acerimmer | vindav: so you're changing the video codec?? | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | vindav: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-to-convert-flv-to-avi-using-ffmpeg.html | 01:01 |
| magicJ | ActionParsnip: yes - but you said that it would tell him what he is running. I know that I am running a 64 bit CPU and know that I am running a 32 bit os | 01:01 |
| selina2 | what seems to be the problem | 01:02 |
| kingisher64 | ActionParsnip - that would be fantastic if it works - here comes the restart! | 01:03 |
| kieppie | does any other than alsamixer, are there any other console-based (maybe ncurses) volume controls for pulseaudio? | 01:03 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: no I am not changing the video codec. When setting up the conversion from flv to avi, I set it up to do MS compatible avi | 01:04 |
| fokkle | markitman2: the output of df -h seems to show that you're indeed running out of space for the root partition. if gparted says something else, it must be referring to other partitions/disk space. | 01:04 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: and add the audio? | 01:04 |
| fokkle | markitman2: are there partitions not mounted, that wouldn't show up in df -h? | 01:05 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: the original flv file is both the audio & video combined, and when I found out that WinFF converts flv to avi in Ubuntu Linux, I tried it out, made several conversions only to find out that there is a delay experienced when viewing the video and hearing the audio. | 01:06 |
| kingisher64 | ActionParsnip - thanks, that worked a treat. That auto hide had been driving me absolutely bonkers! | 01:06 |

| danger89 | ActionParsnip: But what is the normal way to add a package to the official Ubuntu Universe repo? | 01:11 |
| BarkingFish | bazhang: sure. I just had to refresh my packages in Kubuntu due to dpkg crashing during an update to KDE 4.7.4 - When I refreshed, I got the error "W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_main_binary-i386_Packages Hash Sum mismatch" | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | danger89: the repo maintainers will need to meet and deem it suitable | 01:11 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: I ran the next terminal command you supplied, and something similar but different showed up. | 01:11 |
| bazhang | danger89, easier to get a PPA | 01:12 |

| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: run each line in turn | 01:13 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: I suppose I need to actually need to use the name of the file to be converted, right ? And if so, does terminal do a better job than the gui WinFF ? | 01:13 |
| BarkingFish | ok, give me a few moments then | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: I just have it in a script because I'm lazy | 01:13 |
| vindav1 | Acerimmer: What does !pastebin|vindav do ? | 01:14 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: as i said, I don't use winff. Terminal gets you more granular and exact control. Helps to know all the parameters but that's what the help manual is for. | 01:14 |
| danger89 | ActionParsnip: thanks | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | vindav1: it lets you post multiple lines of text like the one I gave danger89, instead of spamming the channel | 01:15 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: run your commands, copy the terminal display, paste into paste.ubuntu.com. You'll get a url which you poste in irc | 01:15 |

| acerimmer | vindav1: enter YOUR inputmovie.flv name and YOUR outputmovie.avi name. You have to select the output name. | 01:19 |
| fokkle | markitman2: you'll probably have to resize the root partition. you can decrease swap in gparted, then, decrease the extended to fit the new swap size, then increase the root partition. | 01:19 |

| kieppie | anyone here able to help me with an audio volume problem please? I'm feeding MPD through PA, but the audio's extremely soft. I've used alsamixer to up all levels, but it's still very quite | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: ok, run: sudo apt-get update | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: is it smooth? | 01:23 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: select and drag the file name into the terminal | 01:23 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: I'll try that out now | 01:23 |
| markitman2 | fokkle: the analyzer does say that my total file system has 283 GB but shows only 170 GB for / (root) | 01:23 |
| BarkingFish | clean, ActionParsnip - no updates to go through, no errors during the update. | 01:23 |
| BarkingFish | Looks good from where I'm sitting :) | 01:23 |
| fokkle | markitman2, just a second. I've got a link for someone with a similar problem--different space reporting.... | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: sweet, basically you deleted your systems knowledge of any packages from any source, then redownloaded them all fresh | 01:24 |
| markitman2 | fokkle: gparted shows / (root) as having 287 GiB with 16.6 unused. | 01:25 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: ok, I've dragged the file name into the terminal box. How do I go about directing where the output file goes ? | 01:25 |
| BarkingFish | yeah, and now I can automate that process, ActionParsnip, so I don't have to copypaste 20 lines into konsole :) | 01:25 |
| BarkingFish | Thanks for the script, it's appreciated. I'll keep it handy for the future in case anyone else needs to do similar, assuming of course, you don't mind | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: save the text to a file, mark the file as executable and you have a script | 01:25 |
| markitman2 | fokkle: the problem is i keep getting system messages saying I am out of disk space <1.5GB left and gives option to open the analyzer which gives the info i provided. | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: I'd love you to spread it if it fixes things :D | 01:26 |
| BarkingFish | i've saved it already, just got to add the executable flag to it | 01:26 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: whatever directory your terminal is in is where the output will go - OR you can specify.. Look like you're in your /HOME so I'd look there. | 01:26 |
| fokkle | markitman2: this link suggests that it may be caused by files that have been deleted while being accessed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1251827 | 01:27 |
| fokkle | markitman2: try rebooting, checking df and analyzer and see if they're the same afterward. | 01:27 |

| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: you'll see it a lot on launchpad questions as it happens sometimes and people ask, so I just paste the file :) | 01:28 |
| acerimmer | bklive: 10.04 is supported for 36 months, so yes | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bklive: sure, desktop lucid is supported til April next year | 01:28 |
| fokkle | bklive, 10.04 LTS is supported for 3 years | 01:28 |
| bklive | excellent! thanks everyone | 01:29 |
| fokkle | lol | 01:29 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: we have a launch Houston !! :D Terminal is actually doing the encoding from flv to avi now from the instructions you provided. Let's wait a bit; I'll test it once it's finished. The flv file size is 310MB. How long do you think that will take ? | 01:29 |
| BarkingFish | OK ActionParsnip - It just seems such an easy solution to something which scares the thingies out of you. I didn't want to reboot since i was scared it'd broken KDE when the update didn't finish. I'd still like to find out why dpkg dies during large updates though. | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | bklive: i'd get Precise when you can, it will have nice new package versions and such which will help with hardware compatibility :) | 01:29 |
| BarkingFish | This one weighed in at a whopping 589mb, and over wifi, that's a pain. | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: Linux is easy dude | 01:29 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: terminal is doing each frame at a time compared to when I used the WinFF gui | 01:30 |
| BarkingFish | Yeah, I know it's easy, but when things zombify during important stuff, it freaks you out a bit, ActionParsnip | 01:30 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: winff is ONLY the gui. Behind the scenes it uses ffmpeg you just don't see it. | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | BarkingFish: I guess | 01:31 |
| markitman2 | fokkle: i have already rebooted as a first try (since I come from windows world) | 01:31 |
| markitman2 | fokkle: but i will try again. thanks for the effort | 01:31 |
| fokkle | markitman2: ah, sorry. good luck. | 01:32 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: consider adding metadata after the encoding. It will drastically reduce the file size. ffmpeg -i in.avi -metadata title="my title" out.flv | 01:32 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: Oh ok...I'm getting a serious teaching here right now. Whoa. BTW, I noticed that the terminal version is doing a bitrate @ 267.7kb/s consistently compared to the 1MB/s when using WinFF. Do you know why that is ? Also, terminal has just finished the encoding. I'll test it out, and come back to read you comments and to offer feedback. | 01:33 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: I just went over many segments of the file that got translated and still there is a delay. I noticed that delay is noticeable after 60 minutes of a 2 hour and 23 minute length video. | 01:39 |

| vindav1 | aserimmer: as for whether or not the audio track was synced with the video, all I know is that the audio input is coming from a sound board independant of the video cam signal feed to make the flv file through Adobe | 01:52 |

| acerimmer | vindav1: here's what I THINK you might try. Get clean audio - can be done with ffmpeg. | 01:54 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: merge that audio with the video with ffmpeg and you should be done. | 01:54 |
| aBound | Shay|SSH, Never used it before. | 01:54 |

| acerimmer | vindav1: do and paste this ffmpeg -i source.flv | 01:55 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: what I am doing is converting a internet broadcast caught on laptop while it was live streaming. I would then take the flv file thinking that it has everything on it, then convert it to avi later through WinFF.

| Plugh | nm. I managed to track down a web page with the information from someone who had the exact same problem as I did. I fixed my apparmor config and all is well. | 02:19 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: OK, this shows that there's no offset. For some reason, you audio slips out of synch as the video progress. I've had a similar issue when mixing audio/video with openshot | 02:20 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: yeah, I didn't know how to explain it to you. There you have it. What you said is exactly my problem. How did you solve yours ? | 02:21 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: step 1 rip the audio | 02:21 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: ingore above | 02:21 |
| FoxtrotZero | Hello | 02:21 |
| napster | How can I contact the absolute root DNS server avoiding intermediate DNS caches? | 02:21 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: are you saying to not rip the audio or extract it ? Or are you saying to do that as a first step ? | 02:22 |
| sunfish | Hi | 02:22 |
| FoxtrotZero | I'm not exactly familiar with how things work in Ubuntu. I just downloaded and installed dropbox. How do I run the program? | 02:22 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: in my case, I had encoded the video @ 30 fps. The audio was from a music .mp3. I used openshot to mix at 24 fps and threw the timing off. | 02:22 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: so, that did you do ? | 02:23 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: re-encoded at 30 fps with openshot - fixed. | 02:23 |
| goddard | why cant i save files to my network drive? | 02:24 |
| FoxtrotZero | Can someone tell me how I can run programs that I have downloaded and installed? I know it's a newb question, but... | 02:24 |
| goddard | there isn't even an option in my save file dialog box | 02:24 |
| goddard | like when i right click and save a file in Firefox | 02:24 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: so - let's ;get you some good audio! ffmpeg -i sourcevideo.flv -vn -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 44100 -ac 2 sourceaudio.wav | 02:25 |
| chaospsychex | almoxarife: pastie.org/3192563 i can't even get it to start | 02:25 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: so, did you extract the audio first from your source file ? If so, how did you take the audio component away from the source file which would now be basically video ? | 02:25 |
| urlin2u | FoxtrotZero, what atr the file formats, and are you sure you need to download them? | 02:25 |
| urlin2u | are | 02:25 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: does openshot do that too ? | 02:25 |
| FoxtrotZero | Urlin2u, I downloaded Dropbox. it's an application, which was installed by some ubuntu service. I can't figure out how to run the program. | 02:26 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: my video was silent. I added a music file and merged with me openshot - which served as a gui to ffmpeg. | 02:26 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: are you saying that once you extracted the audio, that the video was now silent, and this was all done by using Openshot ? How did you speed up the source file video to a higher speed ? | 02:28 |
| FoxtrotZero | urlin2u I actually know the way to start the program, if I can get to the CLI. Which I cannot seem to do, either. | 02:28 |
| almoxarife | chaospsychex: what version of ubuntu is that? | 02:28 |
| urlin2u | FoxtrotZero, type terminal in the dash or crtl-alt-t | 02:29 |
| chaospsychex | almoxarife: 10.10 | 02:29 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: I'm beginning to sound like I don't know what I am communicating about because I don't have the knowledge base to understand the extraction and reintegration process of the audio coming back to a video file that is sped up a bit to get the mix of the audio, right ? | 02:29 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: open shot allows you to specify the output format e.g. low HD which is fps 30 | 02:29 |
| urlin2u | FoxtrotZero, I'm not familiar with dropbox but many are here probably. | 02:29 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: u have openshot? I can walk you through if you want | 02:30 |
| bucky | FoxtrotZero, how did you install it? | 02:30 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: so, does Openshot to extractions, reintegration of audio to sped up video ? | 02:30 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: no. ffmpeg to extract. Openshot to repackage, i.e. apply the container | 02:31 |
| FoxtrotZero | Bucky: I downloaded it from the website. Firefox offered to open it with "Ubuntu Software Center". I did that, and then USC opened up, with the option to install Dropbox. Which I did. | 02:31 |
| FoxtrotZero | Now I cannot figure out how to start the program. I could do it, if i could figure out how to get to the CLI | 02:31 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: try this: ffmpeg -i sourcefile.flv -vn -acodec copy sourceaudio.mp3 | 02:31 |
| bucky | FoxtrotZero, here's a howto.. http://tinyurl.com/7379vbx | 02:32 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: so, once I do that, I would think that it's like mixing two track together really, right ? | 02:32 |
| hawks008 | FoxtrotZero: try opening terminal and typing dropbox | 02:32 |
| FoxtrotZero | Hawks008: I do not know how to open Terminal | 02:32 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: that command will extract the audio from your source and re-package as .mp3 | 02:32 |
| FoxtrotZero | Bucky: It's not Box.net. It's Dropbox. They are different services. | 02:33 |

| acerimmer | vindav1: ffmpeg to transcode source.flv to source.avi, ffmpeg or openshot to package new.avi with extracted.mp3 | 02:35 |
| FoxtrotZero | Hawks008: 10.11, I think it is | 02:35 |

| hawks008 | FoxtrotZero: if i am right you can open a 'run' box with alt+F2 | 02:39 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: so how do I use FFmpeg to transcode the source file and how would I know if the source file had the audio portion removed ? | 02:40 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: ffmpeg will overwrite old audio with extracted audio | 02:41 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer:; what is the code to do that ? | 02:42 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: Audio Extraction: ffmpeg -i sourcefile.flv -vn -acodec copy sourceaudio.mp3 | 02:42 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: and paste | 02:42 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: What is the next command ? | 02:43 |
| FoxtrotZero | Hawks008: Thanks, I got it working. | 02:44 |
| acerimmer | vindav1: let's see what you've got first. ffmpeg -i sourceaudio.mp3 | 02:44 |
| vindav1 | acerimmer: I'm copying down the steps now to do this later. My head it getting full. | 02:45 |

The 2.5" needs +5V at 1.0A, and the 3.5" is marke +5.0V @ 0.72A. So I _think_ power isn't an issue. However, when I connect USB to the adapter, the LED lights, but the drive doesn't spin.

| okee | I am back, and still have problems with Linuxmint not installing. Incidentally it just isn't linuxmint, but Ubuntu also. Someone showed me what I need to do during the boot sequence, so that Ubuntu didn't hang. I was supposed to select some key, that would take me into a side menu, but now I have forgotten how to do this. The errors I am receiving are something like: ata2.00: ATAPI cmd | 04:39 |
| okee | 00/00:00:00:00:00:a0 (NOP) rejected by device (STate=0x51 Err=0x04). Another lines with problems is: ata6: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300). Before that line there was the exact same line of code, but starting with ata5 instead of ata6. How do i get around these problems? | 04:39 |

| SuperNoeMan | did you dual boot? because if you did, macs distinguish right clicks using multitouch | 04:57 |
| SuperNoeMan | I'm sure that you could create a keyboard to mouse mapping, such as shift click, that would send the equivalent signal as a right click | 04:57 |

| Grivvel | Heya! I have a fairly simple question: When I use sound while logged in, everything works fine. When I try to use sound from the command-line (either tty1 or through ssh), no sound plays unless I use sudo. Any idea what would cause this or how I'd fix it? | 05:15 |
| yabai | Grivvel: are you part of the audio group? | 05:18 |
| Grivvel | yabai: Yup, I just tried adding myself to the audio group and it didn't seem to help. (Though I haven't rebooted since doing that.) | 05:18 |
| dies_irae | audio group?? is that even needed to do in ubuntu?? | 05:18 |
| yabai | Grivvel: log out and log back in | 05:18 |
| Grivvel | yabai: Hmm, suppose I should have thought of doing that :P Thanks, I'll try it! | 05:19 |
| yabai | Grivvel: until you log out and log back in it won't work | 05:19 |
| Grivvel | Ahhh, got it, makes sense :) | 05:19 |
| yabai | also double check groups <username> | 05:19 |
| Grivvel | I did disconnect from ssh, but I had a detached screen session running, so I assume that kept me from logging out completely | 05:20 |
| Mike98632 | I have Windows 7 partition and I would like to remove it so I have Ubuntu only. My partitions look like this: http://i.imgur.com/VfYkE.png What should I do to do this? | 05:22 |
| MK` | Can someone help me partition a disk from the command line please? | 05:22 |
| MK` | Mike98632: you can simply select that partition and reformat it to ext4 or your preferred file system, but that will erase /all/ the data on that partition. | 05:23 |
| Trfsrfr | upgrade question; Will I need to backup all of my files before I upgrade ? | 05:23 |
| MK` | Trfsrfr: no, but that is always wise regardless! | 05:24 |
| Trfsrfr | So if i hit the 'upgrade' button I wont lose anything? | 05:24 |
| Germanaz0 | nope Trfsrfr | 05:25 |
| Mike98632 | MK`: I'm not really sure which one I would need to do. Would it be both /dev/sda1 and sda2? And why are the sda5 and 6 under sda3? | 05:25 |
| MK` | well I certainly can't guarantee that, but it will not touch your personal files | 05:25 |
| MK` | Mike98632: sda3 is what is called an extended partition. On MBR partition drives, you can only have 4 partitions, so additional ones are created by making one of them (sda3) an 'extended' partition and then making more partitions inside of it. | 05:26 |
| Trfsrfr | so is 11.10 a goo dupgrade? | 05:26 |
| Trfsrfr | good | 05:26 |
| MK` | sda1 is Windows's boot restoration thing, sda2 is the actual Windows install, you would remove both of them | 05:27 |
| Mike98632 | MK`: I see. Thanks. Any idea what that sda6 is though? It says it's unknown and it looks like it has a warning. | 05:27 |
| aeon-ltd | Trfsrfr: good how? | 05:27 |
| urlin2u | Mike98632,did you encrypt your ubuntu? | 05:28 |
| Trfsrfr | aeon-ltd, good as in better than the version before it? | 05:28 |
| Mike98632 | urlin2u: Ah that must be it. I did. Thanks.. | 05:28 |
| aeon-ltd | Trfsrfr: it has a later kernel, bug patches and some newer software so i'd say yeah, but if you like ubuntu how it is now why change it (unless you're using a ver. that is losing support) | 05:29 |

| i_is_broke | !dual boot > datruth_ | 05:46 |
| ubottu | datruth_, please see my private message | 05:46 |
| cheapie | datruth_: Install Windows normally, then install Ubuntu normally, telling it to share the disk. | 05:46 |
| datruth_ | cheapie: install side by side? or partition the disk in windows? | 05:48 |
| cheapie | datruth_: Install Windows taking up the whole disk, or just part of it. Ubuntu will resize the partition if necessary. | 05:49 |

| vegas | in your case you may have a kernel with name linux-image-2.6.35-2.6.35 - correct? | 07:16 |
| geri | vegas, yes: linux-headers-2.6.35.132.6.35 ;( | 07:17 |
| vegas | geri: what is the output of uname -a | 07:17 |
| vegas | or uname -r | 07:17 |
| Rango | anyone know how to fix the issue with ubuntu and gnome-shell freezing? | 07:18 |
| geri | vegas, 2.6.35-27-generic | 07:18 |
| vegas | geri: - you are good to go - here is why ---- your current kernal is linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic - which is different from the kernel you just compiled | 07:19 |
| ahmad | ubuntu-ir | 07:19 |
| vegas | which is linux-image-2.6.35.13-2.6.35 | 07:19 |
| geri | vegas, can i rename the new kernel?:D | 07:19 |
| ahmad | injoy #ubuntu-ir | 07:20 |
| vegas | geri: yes - before installing you can ----- after installing - you need to update grub (bootloader) to have the right name of the kernel file and location | 07:20 |
| geri | vegas, can u help me?:D | 07:20 |
| vegas | geri: go to the directory where you have the kernel | 07:21 |
| vegas | the compiled kernel | 07:21 |
| vegas | something like - I am assuming /home/geri/kernel/...... | 07:21 |
| vegas | and just rename the file name - what you want!!!! | 07:22 |
| vegas | DO NOT RENAME THE FILES IN /boot directory -- this will render your system not to boot - | 07:22 |

| Hades_Ubuntu | hi all, how can i make desktop shortcut in ubuntu 10.11 for this command - rdesktop 192.168.1.1 | 09:42 |
| almoxarife | _godhelpme: i am no server expert | 09:43 |
| _godhelpme | almoxarife: i'm not asking that just how do i get it to boot properly without showing the lines | 09:44 |
| _godhelpme | almoxarife: if i try to boot normally it won't work but if i go to the rescue mode then continue to boot normally then it works | 09:45 |
| almoxarife | _godhelpme: i suggest you ask the question ' i have installed ubuntu-server 11.10 and i have lines, someone able to help?' | 09:45 |
| almoxarife | _godhelpme: i am no server expert | 09:46 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | how can i make desktop shortcut in ubuntu 10.11 (Unity) for this command - rdesktop 192.168.1.1 | 09:46 |
| almoxarife | Hades_Ubuntu: that looks like you want to remote into the router with rdesktop | 09:47 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | Almoxarife, yes, instead of openini terminal window every time | 09:49 |
| ertyuiop99 | There's a file for that | 09:50 |
| geirha | Hades_Ubuntu: You just right-click the desktop -> Create launcher and put that line in the command field | 09:50 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | but i cant found any way to create winsowl like bat file | 09:50 |
| ertyuiop99 | You can set it so every time you log into your account | 09:50 |
| ertyuiop99 | it does that command | 09:50 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | When i RMB on desktop there no option - create launcher | 09:51 |
| almoxarife | Hades_Ubuntu: rdesktop cant talk to a router, that i know of | 09:51 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | 192.168.1.1 isnt router | 09:51 |
| almoxarife | Hades_Ubuntu: one usually talks to the router via a web-browser, got you, not a router | 09:51 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | ertyuiop99 what files? | 09:52 |
| ertyuiop99 | let me check | 09:52 |
| ertyuiop99 | It's just a terminal command right? | 09:52 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | yes | 09:52 |
| almoxarife | Hades_Ubuntu: dont icons show up to your left side on a 'dash'? | 09:52 |
| ertyuiop99 | Okay, Hades_Ubuntu I got it | 09:53 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | so - how to create in ubuntu 10.11 desktop shotcut for any terminal command | 09:53 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | ubuntu 10.11 Unity | 09:53 |
| ertyuiop99 | open up .bashrc in the /home folder | 09:53 |
| geirha | Hades_Ubuntu: Oh, hadn't noticed that had been removed. | 09:53 |
| ertyuiop99 | You want it so it runs that command when you login? | 09:53 |
| almoxarife | Hades_Ubuntu: open a terminal, the icon will show on 'dash' , pin it to the dash | 09:54 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | no i what star it on demand | 09:54 |
| almoxarife | Hades_Ubuntu: once its pinned you get to do that | 09:55 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | it's only start terminal | 09:55 |
| ertyuiop99 | if you want to(only if you want to) run that command on startup, go to ~/.bashrc and add "rdesktop 192.168.1.1" to the very bottom | 09:55 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | not commands like this - rdesktop 192.168.1.1 | 09:55 |
| ertyuiop99 | its "- rdesktop 192.168.1.1"? | 09:56 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | i want just simpl icon (windows shortcut) to start custom comman | 09:56 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | like rdesktop yes | 09:56 |
| geirha | Hades_Ubuntu: If you hit Alt+F2 though and type in that rdesktop line, it will be stored in that history. | 09:56 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | history in F2 inst resolve problem for users | 09:57 |
| almoxarife | Hades_Ubuntu: you want icon, the icon for terminal FIRST has to be pinned to the 'dash', from then on you can click till the cows come in | 09:57 |
| almoxarife | or i dont understand the relative ease of windows icon-ics, that could be too | 09:58 |
| ertyuiop99 | how exactly do you add a shortcut/"desktop configuration file (application/x-desktop)" anyways | 09:58 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | how do _stupid_ users start every time remote destop to the server? open teminal and type - rdestop ip...? | 09:59 |
| almoxarife | Hades_Ubuntu: this stupid user uses putty to talk to the server | 10:00 |
| ertyuiop99 | Hades_Ubuntu, I want a yes or no. Do you want this program to start on computer startup? | 10:00 |
| chalcedony | question, i have a new printer, it's an epson workforce 845, the setup for ubuntu 10.10 is nothing like windows. i can't get it to print both sides? | 10:00 |
| ertyuiop99 | I used putty.. | 10:00 |
| almoxarife | ertyuiop99: you want? | 10:00 |
| ertyuiop99 | I use putty* | 10:00 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | ertyuiop99, no only destop icon to start on demand | 10:00 |
| ertyuiop99 | Okay | 10:00 |
| ertyuiop99 | almoxarife, what? | 10:01 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | and dont open every time terminal and typing command | 10:01 |
| phibxr | Hades_Ubuntu, check this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/13758/how-can-i-edit-create-new-launcher-items-in-unity-by-hand | 10:02 |
| almoxarife | does unity allow icons on the desktop by default? | 10:03 |
| almoxarife | i know gnome-shell will once you get nautilus to manage the desktop, then its simple | 10:04 |
| Hades_Ubuntu | phibxr, tnx need to try | 10:04 |
| almoxarife | Hades_Ubuntu: if you like the idea of a desktop full of icons you might look at gnome-shell | 10:04 |

| Knorre_ | gnome is terribad | 10:16 |
| Gentoo64 | Mito: if gnome-core is the package then yes | 10:18 |
| Gentoo64 | it may or may not pull in xorg | 10:18 |
| Gentoo64 | so do xorg anyway | 10:18 |
| almoxarife | slacker-: it should also exist for your version | 10:19 |
| slacker- | almoxarife: I have xfce4-mixer | 10:19 |
| Mito | but if I do apt-get install gnome-core and xorg I will have problem with gdm and lightdm | 10:20 |
| slacker- | almoxarife: which, since I installed pulseaudio, gives me 4 sound cards to chose from | 10:20 |

| * dies_irae apt-cache search eix | 10:21 | |
| visual1ce | hi | 10:21 |
| almoxarife | slacker-: its not the card choice only, you also need to pick the output for the hdmi | 10:22 |
| [ptr]xyz | maybe...however, i would use --no-recommends, just to be sure. | 10:22 |
| slacker- | almoxarife: I can't see how to do that with the mixer. I must be missing something else :( | 10:23 |

| United7 | anyone has any idea ? | 10:28 |
| [ptr]xyz | just press alt+f2 and type xchat | 10:29 |
| thekirbylover | I have a question about apt and dpkg at the command line: is it possible to get a list of installed packages that have updates available, that could then be read from in a script? | 10:29 |
| [ptr]xyz | maybe autocomplete with tab... | 10:29 |
| [ptr]xyz | if it is installed, this should work. | 10:29 |
| slacker- | almoxarife: ic. I just installed pavucontrol. see if that helps. it's pulse audio control | 10:29 |
| rigved | United7: open the file manager. On the left-hand side, your windows C: drive should be shown (it will not necessarily be called C:, maybe some other name). Click on that. it will mount the C: drive. then, you can access the Desktop under the Users folder. | 10:29 |
| United7 | rigved :- Will try that now..thank you :) | 10:29 |
| almoxarife | slacker-: the link i sent you shows 'profile' at bottom, that is where you would make changes to get the right hdmi setting | 10:30 |

| === jacob is now known as Guest64016 | ||
| slacker- | almoxarife: I'm assuming the prog that would output sound should have pulseaudio selected as output module? | 10:36 |
| rigved | United7: no. the usr folder is on your Ubuntu system. you want to access the folder on your windows partition. if you followed the steps i told, the windows C: drive should be available under /media/ | 10:37 |
| rigved | United7: in your file manager, on the left-hand side pane, which names do you see? | 10:38 |
| almoxarife | slacker-: your app should be set to 'default' sound, what ever that is, like vlc out of the box, i dont mess with the settings, it works because it uses default , you are trying to set default sound | 10:39 |

| afeijo | hi guys, I'm compiling nginx 1.1.11, but it conflicts with my perl version. How can I update perl? | 11:31 |
| ikonia | afeijo: there is no perl update from ubuntu if it doesn't show in your package manager | 11:32 |
| MonkeyDust | !info nginx | 11:32 |
| ubottu | nginx (source: nginx): small, but very powerful and efficient web server and mail proxy. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.5-1 (oneiric), package size 5 kB, installed size 80 kB | 11:32 |
| slacker- | Ok, so I managed to get the audio output via HDMI using speaker-test -D.... so how do I tell pulseaudio to use those settings? | 11:34 |
| afeijo | ikonia, something else is wrong here, nginx configure command asks for perl 5.6.1, but the ubuntu here has 5.10.1, it is higher! | 11:36 |
| ikonia | afeijo: you're probably missing the libraries and headers it wants | 11:37 |
| ikonia | afeijo: why are you compiling nginx and not using the version from the repos | 11:37 |
| afeijo | ikonia, because the version from the repos does not have the upload-progress module that I need | 11:37 |
| === kryl99 is now known as testname101 | ||
| afeijo | I installed the needed libs that I found out when I simulated all this in a virtual ubuntu serve from the same version | 11:38 |
| ikonia | afeijo: looks like you're missing perl headers/libraries | 11:39 |
| afeijo | libperl-dev is already the newest version. | 11:40 |

| wdp | ts2, source that its dead? | 12:15 |
| glebihan | wdp, the openoffice package in ubuntu is only a transitional package used to replace openoffice with libreoffice when openoffice was previously installed. openoffice is no longer supported on ubuntu | 12:15 |

| wdp | glebihan, i'm mostly concerned of having to re-learn things (not for me, but for my mom, for whom i've setup ubuntu). She knows "openoffice" and uses it. As soon as she see's "libre"office she will ask me what that is. Then the icons aren't looking the same, and as it's a fork i'm sure there are more difference. probably growing differences over time (thats the usual idea behind a fork - implementing / changing stuff which wasn't possible to change in th | 12:20 |
| wdp | e original) | 12:21 |
| jiohdi | wdp, by the time differences matter, she would be used to it | 12:21 |
| wdp | glebihan, keeping that in mind, i'd prefer to stick to the original if possible. However, i don't want to go through the steps of installing it manually. seems i have to stick to libre then. | 12:21 |
| jiohdi | but right now its practically identicle | 12:21 |
| glebihan | wdp, at the time, I can guarantee you there are pretty much no noticeable differences apart from icons | 12:21 |

| ubottu | mrd_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 12:43 |

| === andrea is now known as Guest68393 | ||
| ikonia | diverdude: try #debian | 12:53 |
| stokachu | Dazmo, over http? | 12:53 |
| Dazmo | oh, yeah | 12:53 |
| shankar | i'm using ubuntu 11.10 anyone know to disable welcome message in live usb? | 12:53 |
| X0Rc0re | Psi-Jack: cool story bro ;) | 12:53 |
| Dazmo | well wait. . . | 12:54 |
| shankar | ok | 12:54 |
| Humbedooh | diverdude, try #debian or #apache or such - and well, "*" and "_default_" are not the same :> | 12:54 |
| Dazmo | im kind of rubbish at networking. I dont necessarily need any hypertext, just so long as i can put the code in the client that says "go to this address, get this data, and upload this data" and the server receives the instruct and does it | 12:54 |
| Dazmo | i know about xamp, but im not usre if its waht i need since Im using .net to develop the client | 12:55 |
| ikonia | X0Rc0re: are you running ubuntu or debian ? | 12:56 |
| stokachu | Dazmo, it really just depends.. you could create a socket to accept connections from your .net client and perform some action on the data | 12:57 |
| X0Rc0re | BT5 | 12:57 |
| shankar | i'm using ubuntu 11.10 with persistence, i want to disable welcome message and live session any idea? | 12:57 |
| stokachu | Dazmo, you may can get away with writing a server in mono | 12:57 |
| ikonia | X0Rc0re: ok - so the correct channel for you is #backtrack-linux | 12:57 |
| ikonia | X0Rc0re: please ask there. | 12:57 |
| X0Rc0re | i asked there | 12:57 |

| xsl | hello all, wen i try to remove the package "eject" it wants to remove "ubuntu-minimal" is there a problem that this last package is removed - it sounds like an reference package. | 12:58 |
| ikonia | X0Rc0re: #debian = debian support #ubuntuy = ubuntu support, back track is neither of those, | 12:58 |
| shankar | ok bye | 12:58 |
| pfifo | !info ubuntu-minimal | 12:59 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-minimal (source: ubuntu-meta): Minimal core of Ubuntu. In component main, is important. Version 1.245 (oneiric), package size 2 kB, installed size 60 kB | 12:59 |
| pfifo | xsl, its a meta package, removing it dosent do anything | 12:59 |
| xsl | pfifo: all meta package can be removed? like ubuntu-standard | 13:00 |
| xsl | !info ubuntu-standard | 13:00 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-standard (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu standard system. In component main, is standard. Version 1.245 (oneiric), package size 2 kB, installed size 60 kB | 13:00 |
| stokachu | Dazmo, if you are primarily .net i think you'll be comfortable with mono and can write a server application that way | 13:00 |
| pfifo | xsl yes | 13:02 |
| overclucker | X0Rc0re: probably a glib version error. anyways, the source code looks like it is for freebsd, so unless you can figure out how to compile it on a linux system, you are out of luck | 13:02 |
| andreavda | hi guys ! | 13:04 |
| andreavda | please can any1 help me with the installation of ubuntu ? | 13:04 |
| shrek1 | i having problem with my brcmsmac module in ubuntu 11.10 . my system hangs in WiFi network too frequently | 13:04 |
| andreavda | I'm stuck because I have to make partitions | 13:04 |
| shrek1 | andreavda: where you stuck? | 13:05 |
| andreavda | Hi shrek ! | 13:05 |
| pfifo | andreavda, whats the problem? | 13:05 |
| andreavda | right now I have to do a primary root partition (they told me to do so), so I've put the check on "primary" but I have to set a mount point, unfortunately in mount point I cannot find /root | 13:06 |
| pfifo | andreavda, root is simply / | 13:06 |
| andreavda | thanks | 13:07 |
| Dazmo | So look into mono and learn sockets. thank you guys :) | 13:07 |
| jolaren | I get errors when downloading things in Transmission.. I get permissions errors but I have done chmod 777 and chown 777 on the directory in question.. wehn I try to figure out what user is running it says 115 - which is root? anyways - can someone please point me in the right direction?? :( 115 9181 1 1 14:01 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon --c onfig-dir /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info | 13:07 |
| shrek1 | i having problem with my brcmsmac module in ubuntu 11.10 . my system hangs in WiFi network too frequently. again asking!! | 13:07 |
| pfifo | jolaren, root id 0 | 13:07 |
| jrib | jolaren: I imagine your chown and chmod is the cause of the issue | 13:08 |
| jolaren | jrib: how to fix this then? I'v been fiddling with this all day getting the tunnel to work | 13:08 |
| jrib | jolaren: undo what you did for starters | 13:08 |
| ahmad | #ubuntu-ir | 13:08 |
| geirha | jolaren: getent passwd 115 #probably debian-transmission | 13:09 |
| pfifo | jolaren, you did a `chown 777` cause there isnt a user with the id 777 | 13:09 |
| MonkeyDust | ah, there's ahmad again | 13:09 |
| DJones | ahmad: You keep forgetting the "/join" | 13:09 |
| jolaren | pfifo: I want everyone to be able to write n read .. thought that was what 777 was for | 13:09 |
| geirha | And chmod 777 is always wrong | 13:09 |
| jolaren | geirha: thanks, cool command! | 13:09 |
| ahmad | sorry | 13:10 |
| pfifo | jolaren, chmod 777 and chown <user id> | 13:10 |
| [ptr]xyz | Damzo, take node.js for that | 13:10 |
| jolaren | pfifo: need to make that from every single user? I mean chown? or can I run it as a different user | 13:10 |
| [ptr]xyz | just in case you still need a solution. the thing you need is more or less a 10-lines-of-code-script. | 13:10 |
| pfifo | geirha, chmod 777 is valid | 13:10 |
| geirha | pfifo: Valid yes, but the wrong approach | 13:11 |
| pfifo | jolaren, i do it like this `chmod 0777 -R /path/to/dir && chown 0:0 -R /path/to/dir` | 13:11 |
| llutz_ | pfifo: you don't want world-writable dirs in your system | 13:12 |
| geirha | jolaren: The proper way to do that is to create a group for the purpose, add all the non-system users to that group, set that group as group owner of the directories, then do chmod 2775 or chmod 2770 | 13:12 |
| xsl | well use just 5 instead of 7 | 13:12 |
| andreavda | so guys, can you please check if I've formatted my hd the proper way ? I've got a 500 gb internal hard drive, I have a 13 GB ext4 root primary partition, a 2 GB linux-swap primary partition (the ram of my pc is just 1 GB), a 1 GB ext4 logical partition and a 484 GB NTFS partition (used only for storage, for accessing files I need everyday I'll use the 1 GB logical partition) | 13:12 |
| xsl | geirha: why 2 in your mode? | 13:12 |
| xsl | why not 0775 ? | 13:12 |
| draioch | thx overclucker ur a gem! | 13:12 |
| pfifo | llutz, /tmp | 13:13 |
| geirha | xsl: setgid on a directory makes files and directories created inside it inherit the group ownership of the directory (instead of using the gid of the user) | 13:13 |
| jolaren | geirha: I will monitor that, thank you for helping me not only to fix the "problem" but also helping me to adress the "issue" as said earlier. | 13:13 |
| [ptr]xyz | andreavda, send the input of fdisk -l | 13:13 |
| llutz_ | pfifo: special dir, with special pemrissions (1777) | 13:13 |

| geirha | jolaren: Check what the incomplete dir is set to (if it is enabled) and make sure that is also writable for the debian-transmission user. | 13:15 |
| andreavda | and what is that supposed to do ? | 13:15 |
| MonkeyDust | andreavda so we can see how you partitioned | 13:16 |
| [ptr]xyz | monkey, i already told him, seems he doesnt reply ;) | 13:16 |
| [ptr]xyz | dont spam him :D | 13:16 |
| MonkeyDust | ? | 13:16 |
| andreavda | ok wait a min, coz I'm not using the pc on which I'll install linux | 13:16 |
| jolaren | pfifo: geirha 1 sec | 13:17 |
| xsl | geirha: if i have already a structure of directories ... lets say for example /opt/john/doe/directory if i chgroup groupname /opt/john && chmod 2770 - only the next created files and folder will belong to the group ... right? | 13:17 |
| geirha | xsl: Right | 13:17 |
| andreavda | I'm sorry monkey but on this version of ubuntu I can't find the terminal | 13:18 |
| geirha | xsl: So the already existing files will have to be handled manually | 13:18 |
| xsl | -R then | 13:18 |

| xsl | geirha: sorry to abuse your help :D but one more question if you can :) - if i setup the dirs like that..how can i force a user that creates a file there with nautilus that the file will become 550 or 770 | 13:22 |
| Noxville | MonkeyDust: yes | 13:23 |
| geirha | xsl: You cannot, not with conventional file modes anyway. | 13:23 |
| andreavda | sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit | 13:23 |
| xsl | geirha: i tryed setting umask on users profile and in global profile.. and its never donne | 13:23 |
| andreavda | sorry my fault | 13:24 |
| xsl | the trick i have is a cron job that chmod -R the directories from time to time | 13:24 |
| llutz_ | xsl: POSIX ACL could do that | 13:24 |
| geirha | xsl: You could set a umask in /etc/profile, but users may override that with their local ~/.profile. However, even with the most permissive umask, files will NOT be created with execute bits set | 13:24 |
| andreavda | here we go | 13:24 |
| andreavda | http://paste.ubuntu.com/806176/ | 13:24 |
| xsl | llutz: i will take a look at POSIX ACL ty | 13:25 |
| xsl | geirha: yes.. i have that problem | 13:25 |
| xsl | i use ubuntu to serve ltsp desktops | 13:25 |
| Pici | '62 | 13:25 |
| xsl | and i have a /opt/shared/files/ that users create files that should be used by all | 13:25 |
| geirha | xsl: you really don't want files to have execute permissions by default though | 13:26 |
| xsl | geirha: i dont need execute permissions... i just need the 550 or 555 | 13:26 |
| xsl | oops | 13:26 |

| cvam | result of uname -m -p -i is i686 i686 i386. My system processor is 64 bit but I install maverick 32 bit version & then upgraded to natty. Now I want to change hardware platform to i686 from i386 when upgrade to oneiric how ? | 13:28 |
| ikonia | cvam: 386 = 686 | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | cvam easiest and safest is to backup important data and do a fresh install | 13:29 |
| ikonia | cvam: it's just wording, it should really be "x86" | 13:29 |
| geirha | cvam: You mean upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit? That's not really supported, and will be very complicated to do. I suggest you do a fresh install instead. | 13:29 |
| Stereocaulon | cvam, there is no safe way to upgrade to 64-bit. If you have a separate /home partition and other strictly data partitions , you should be able to keep those, wipe the rest and do a fresh install of 64 bit. | 13:32 |
| Stereocaulon | cvam, and *always* make a backup a first... | 13:32 |
| cvam | is there any way to backup the whole system ie if firefox(with bookmarks,history ),eclipse (with codes, projects) and all other apps | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | !backup| cvam | 13:35 |
| ubottu | cvam: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 13:35 |
| LjL | cvam: on the one hand you need to store a list of your installed programs (see !cloning for that), and on the other you need to backup your /home | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | cvam I use this http://paste.ubuntu.com/806187/ | 13:36 |

| Stereocaulon | !java | juniour__ | 13:38 |
| ubottu | juniour__: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK).

| LABcrab | Hello people! What is the easiest way to convert VCR to digital on Ubuntu? | 13:41 |
| Psi-Jack | There is none, LABcrab . | 13:41 |
| Psi-Jack | No easiest way. | 13:41 |
| pfifo | LABcrab, hire someone else to do it | 13:42 |
| Psi-Jack | Heh | 13:42 |
| Psi-Jack | It'll take a TV Tuner card, a VCR, and a recording application. Simply put, it's going to be a 1:1 time dilation, minimum. | 13:42 |
| LABcrab | In Vista it's simply VLC and there you go. | 13:42 |
| LjL | LABcrab: so use VLC? | 13:43 |
| Psi-Jack | That's wonderful. | 13:43 |
| Psi-Jack | Point? | 13:43 |
| LABcrab | i understand it will take me as long as the video is. | 13:43 |
| LABcrab | what hardware works well with Ubuntu? | 13:44 |
| wdp | Psi-Jack, pfifo you're both wrong. | 13:44 |
| LjL | !tv | LABcrab | 13:44 |
| ubottu | LABcrab: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out and !UbuntuTV | 13:44 |
| wdp | the easiest way for a vcr to digital conversation is to buy the dvd. | 13:44 |
| wdp | :D | 13:44 |
| Stereocaulon | LABcrab, if you are proficient in Audio/ Video editing and you do it a lot, check out Ubuntu Studio. | 13:44 |

| juniour | k | 13:51 |
| Pumpkin- | mosx1: there is still a root user, and that root user has an "invalid" password, so you literally cannot login (or su to root) using that password. It is recommended you keep it that way. | 13:51 |
| LjL | juniour: how did it not work? what didn't work? what were you stuck at? just keeping saying "how to install java" is of no use. | 13:51 |

| CyberBandit | ahh ok, thanks :) | 14:29 |
| CyberBandit | ill try. i will be back soon | 14:29 |
| LjL | mosx1: even if you're running server and you only have one user, you still need root (use "sudo") to write to /etc | 14:30 |
| CyberBandit | thanks ljl it worked :) | 14:30 |
| LjL | mosx1: (or really, anywhere that is not /home or /tmp or other select places) | 14:30 |
| mosx1 | LjL: I am trying to use Filezilla to do it so i presume i cannot use sudo | 14:31 |
| m4v | aguitel: try "sudo lshw" somewhere in the result look for the video card information, usually below "*-display". In capabilities should say if is "agp" or "pciexpress" | 14:31 |
| LjL | mosx1: then you need to start filezilla with gksudo | 14:31 |
| mosx1 | so I did log on and ran sudo passwd to try to enable the root account | 14:31 |
| LjL | mosx1: that's not a good idea. | 14:32 |
| aguitel | m4v, i will do ,thanks | 14:32 |
| mosx1 | which seemed to work except that the root account cannot connect at all to the ftp server | 14:32 |
| llutz_ | mosx1: filezilla? ftp? you don't want to use ftp as root | 14:32 |
| mosx1 | ok, then what should i be doing to create new sites in /etc/apache2/sites-available using ftp? | 14:33 |
| Bruce_Wayne | Is there any way to use GNOME 2.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 or later distro which comes with Unity by default? (I'm not an unity fan.. no offense) | 14:33 |
| mosx1 | or should i not even be using ftp to do that? | 14:33 |
| robinduckett | Bruce_Wayne: no, just use Gnome 3 | 14:33 |
| llutz_ | mosx1: you don't, use ssh for this | 14:33 |
| robinduckett | sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 14:33 |
| LjL | mosx1: using FTP to modify stuff in /etc does seem quite scary. | 14:33 |
| nvictor | hey | 14:34 |
| nvictor | has anyone else experienced trouble installing xapian on ubuntu 10.04? | 14:34 |
| DJones | !notunity | Bruce_Wayne | 14:34 |
| ubottu | Bruce_Wayne: 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 | 14:34 |
| Bruce_Wayne | robinduckett: I don't like GNOME 3.0 much either.. :( I like standard gnome which came till Ubuntu 10.10.. which's support is expiring on the release of 12.04 ... & I'm very much confused on the road ahead. | 14:35 |
| mosx1 | hmmm. maybe somewhat unorthodox i guess. b/c i am a windows guy so am wanting to download the config files on my server, edit them in notepad++ and then upload them again. | 14:35 |
| mosx1 | bad idea? | 14:35 |
| llutz_ | mosx1: really bad idea, learn to use ssh | 14:35 |
| mosx1 | i know how to use ssh, just not vi | 14:35 |
| LjL | mosx1: if you have to, then copy the files to your user's home first, use scp to transfer them and then put them back | 14:35 |
| llutz_ | mosx1: use whatever editor you like, there isn't only vi | 14:36 |
| Humbedooh | you could use nano instead :> | 14:36 |
| sskalnik | mosx1: Nano? | 14:36 |
| * Humbedooh awaits to be pelted with tomatoes | 14:36 | |
| LjL | mosx1: and yeah, there are many editors, including easy-to-use ones. | 14:36 |
| LjL | nothing wrong with nano. | 14:36 |
| llutz_ | ed, pico, vim, emacs, joe, ... 2 million other alternatives | 14:37 |
| Pure | hay | 14:37 |
| mosx1 | ok. how do i go about reversing the sudo passwd that iu did? | 14:37 |
| nvictor | microsoft notepad :> | 14:37 |
| rasusto | mosx1 explain more | 14:38 |
| LjL | mosx1: sudo passwd -dl root | 14:38 |
| mosx1 | sure - your point is that text editing is easy and i should be able to use whichever one i like right? | 14:38 |
| mosx1 | i choose - notepad++ | 14:38 |
| nvictor | anyone can help installing xapian? | 14:38 |
| Stereocaulon | mosx1, short answer: yes. Long answer, you should choose an editor suitable for the job at hand | 14:38 |
| LukeNukem | quick question | 14:39 |
| LukeNukem | if i want to do web development and tests on ubuntu, should i get normal ubuntu | 14:39 |
| somsip | mosx1: if you really want to do it your way, you can. Alternative, less complicated solutions are being offered | 14:39 |
| LukeNukem | or ubuntu server | 14:39 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: i'd say normal ubuntu | 14:39 |
| LukeNukem | note i want to do stuff like install a mail server and stuff | 14:39 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: well, either will work really | 14:40 |
| Stereocaulon | mosx1, if you like Notepad++ you might like programming editors like Bluefish or even a full blown IDE. | 14:40 |
| rasusto | you can do either, ubuntu server is going to be faster because it doesn't have all the graphical overhead | 14:40 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: but if you also want to develop and test with browsers, you will want a GUI i suppose | 14:40 |
| LukeNukem | of course | 14:40 |
| LukeNukem | ubuntu has a gui -_- | 14:40 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: Server does not by default | 14:40 |
| sskalnik | LukeNukem: Not on server by default | 14:40 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: but you can still install it, so, it's your choice really. either will work. | 14:40 |
| LukeNukem | ohh... | 14:40 |
| LukeNukem | whats server intended for then? | 14:40 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: uh... servers? | 14:40 |
| sskalnik | LukeNukem: Serving? | 14:41 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: servers typically don't have a GUI | 14:41 |
| sskalnik | XD | 14:41 |
| LukeNukem | o.o | 14:41 |
| Stereocaulon | mosx1, if you can afford to spend some time learning an editor and get lightning quick with it in the long run, choose vim or Emacs | 14:41 |
| mosx1 | Stereocaulon: I'm not trying to be obtuse - just that I have server installed and don't wish to use a gui on the server | 14:41 |
| rasusto | once the webpage is ready to hit the web, use the server distro | 14:41 |
| LukeNukem | you mean its what those web hosting services use right | 14:41 |
| Humbedooh | they can have web based Interfaces tho' :) | 14:41 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: not just web hosting services. my home server doesn't have a GUI. | 14:41 |
| Stereocaulon | mosx1, both editors I mentioned run perfectly outside a GUI | 14:41 |
| mosx1 | I think I've done an ok job of creating a secure setup. | 14:41 |
| LukeNukem | nice, iwas just using web hosting services as an example | 14:41 |
| LukeNukem | so im thinking LAMP would be good? | 14:42 |
| Humbedooh | lamp would be okay | 14:42 |
| mosx1 | I'm using SSH for remote with RSA keys and SFTP for uploads. | 14:42 |
| Humbedooh | if you like lamp :) | 14:42 |
| llutz_ | mosx1: secure setup with enabled ftp/ssh for root? not really | 14:42 |
| somsip | mosx1: so you want to sftp in, download a file, edit the file, and upload it again. Rather than edit it on the server? | 14:42 |
| * Humbedooh prefers... lasl o.O | 14:42 | |
| mosx1 | yes, exactly | 14:43 |
| somsip | mosx1: then you have a solution | 14:43 |
| LukeNukem | what is lasl? | 14:43 |
| LukeNukem | linux apache sql and whats the last l for | 14:43 |
| Humbedooh | linux, apache, sqlite3 and lua :p | 14:43 |
| mosx1 | llutz....well i have just disabled root again, lol | 14:43 |
| LukeNukem | i prefer mysql | 14:43 |
| LukeNukem | with phpmyadmin | 14:43 |
| Ivoz | is it possible to do an online defrag of ext4 these days? If so, how do you go about doing so? | 14:44 |
| llutz_ | Ivoz: no | 14:44 |
| LjL | Ivoz: i don't think it's even possible to do an offline one anymore, with Ubuntu | 14:44 |
| Mcl0vin | good morning folks | 14:44 |
| mosx1 | you see it's not just editing, it's setting file permissions, creating files etc | 14:44 |
| Mcl0vin | quick question on apache2, not sure if its the issue or is it just me | 14:45 |
| Humbedooh | it's just you :) | 14:45 |
| llutz_ | and before all the guys start to cry "ext-fs won't fragment": you're wrong, it does! | 14:45 |
| Mcl0vin | running ubuntu 10.4 LS and i had everything working fine | 14:45 |
| LukeNukem | so you all are major nerds? | 14:45 |
| LukeNukem | :D | 14:45 |
| MonkeyDust | LukeNukem minor | 14:45 |
| Stereocaulon | definitely major | 14:45 |
| Humbedooh | llutz, it does, sure, but not as horrible as other systems :> | 14:45 |
| Mcl0vin | dyndns screwed me and took my host | 14:45 |
| LukeNukem | me too, but im not very good at linux so yeah | 14:46 |
| * LjL fragments llutz_ | 14:46 | |
| LukeNukem | you know them linux got commands n shit | 14:46 |
| LjL | LukeNukem, family friendly language please | 14:46 |
| LukeNukem | my computer teacher is so dumb, she said linux is fragile and if it is turned off directly from power input it will crash o.o | 14:46 |
| LukeNukem | true^? | 14:46 |
| Mcl0vin | so i had to update everything and all works except my website | 14:46 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: uh, just like Windows will (or rather, can potentially) | 14:46 |
| Humbedooh | no, it will shut down :> | 14:46 |
| Mcl0vin | i can ssh to the new host provided by dnydns | 14:46 |
| sskalnik | How do I flush the arp cache? | 14:47 |
| llutz_ | Humbedooh: sure but still odd that there's no way except copying the whole fs to defrag | 14:47 |
| GegoXAREN | depends on your definition of "nerd", I myself like the name "Geek" better... old story.. the nerd vs geek flamewars, now we are on the same side. | 14:47 |
| LukeNukem | no i meant like from the UPS | 14:47 |
| LjL | we're veering a tad offtopic | 14:47 |
| LukeNukem | just turning off the ups directly | 14:47 |

| Mcl0vin | what could be my problem | 14:47 |
| Stereocaulon | LukeNukem, to some extent. Especially if that system still uses a non-journalling system | 14:47 |
| LukeNukem | its pretty old computers at my school o.o | 14:47 |
| LjL | LukeNukem: if you cut power to a computer, in any way, you will risk data loss and, with certain filesystems (such as ext4 and NTFS), data corruption. | 14:47 |
| Humbedooh | Mcl0vin, that would probably be a question for #apache or similar channels | 14:47 |
| Ivoz | So is it possible to do an offline defrag on ubuntu? I've nearly filled my partition up quite a few times, so I wanted to make sure it was still functioning well | 14:48 |
| Stereocaulon | LukeNukem, try a fdisk -l if you have the rights to do so, that will show you what FS types are being used | 14:48 |
| Mcl0vin | Humbedooh: so you were right , its just me lmao | 14:48 |

| subdesign | any idea how to disable Krusader to save temp files ? | 14:48 |
| Stereocaulon | LukeNukem, probably because 10.04 is a LTS edition | 14:49 |
| LukeNukem | Stereocaulon, i notice that it has a lot of educational stuff in it, whatever is in the text its in the OS as well | 14:49 |
| Nach0z | I made a graph of nerds vs geeks, GegoXAREN. it's a Venn diagram. | 14:49 |

| Ivoz | I've run windows 7 on systems with less ram than its official requirements. Runs absolutely fine without aero | 14:49 |
| LjL | Ivoz: there used to be a tool called "defrag", but it's been removed from Ubuntu (and before that, it was made to refuse to work on ext4) because it was unreliable on it, apparently. | 14:50 |
| LukeNukem | Ivoz, yeah me too | 14:50 |
| LjL | Ivoz: so short answer, no, you would have to reformat | 14:50 |

| Stereocaulon | LukeNukem, if you need a higher version of a few programs, you could use ppa´s, but using those allways carries a minor risk that you will destabilize your system | 14:51 |
| LukeNukem | ppa's? | 14:51 |

| Ivoz | LukeNukem: it's basically a managed way of installing a third party software | 14:52 |

| Pooky5 | hi guys, I have problem. I just by new ATI grahpic card, bat ubuntu take only VESA driver, is it normal? | 14:52 |
| LjL | Pooky5: run Jockey and see if there is a proprietary driver for it | 14:53 |
| mosx1 | ok, s I'm here -> /etc/apache2/sites-available and I issue this command: sudo cp mysite.com mynewsite.com | 14:53 |
| Ivoz | LjL: that command just returned. no output | 14:53 |
| LukeNukem | So would ubuntu support Nvidia 9500GT? | 14:53 |
| LjL | Ivoz: maybe it's something new in Precise, i'm running it. | 14:53 |
| Pooky5 | LjL: there is two, bat I can't install the second one, | 14:53 |
| LukeNukem | and my DLINK Wireless adapter? | 14:53 |
| mosx1 | what is wrong here? as I don't get the newsite.com file created | 14:53 |
| LjL | Ivoz: hold on, i'll check on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 14:54 |
| Ivoz | LukeNukem: yes, at least on the gpu | 14:54 |
| LukeNukem | daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang | 14:54 |
| LukeNukem | i cant use internet without the wireless adapter :(((( | 14:54 |
| Ivoz | LukeNukem: i didn't say no to the wireless adapter | 14:54 |
| LukeNukem | oh okay | 14:54 |
| mosx1 | the command just returned to the prompt btw , no error | 14:54 |
| LukeNukem | i think the driver that came with it is only for windows | 14:54 |
| Stereocaulon | tellone, I have several programs running on ncurses, maybe the library you need has been renamed to libncurses or something like that? If you install a program through synaptic that needs it, the ncurses libs will be included automatically. | 14:54 |
| LjL | Ivoz: yeah it's something new in Precise, Oneiric doesn't have it. at least you know when Precise is out, you can do it. | 14:55 |
| Ivoz | LukeNukem: linux has *alot* of drivers | 14:55 |
| LjL | Ivoz: just remember "e4defrag" | 14:55 |
| LukeNukem | yeah i will need to look for unoff ones | 14:55 |
| llutz_ | LjL: it comes with e2fsprgs, starting with precise | 14:55 |
| LjL | llutz_: yeah, i checked | 14:55 |
| LukeNukem | i used osx86 ones | 14:55 |

| ActionParsnip | cordoval: unity2D uses no compositong and will run on any video card. Unity uses 3D accelleration | 15:12 |
| cordoval | so which is better for me? | 15:13 |

| silameth | I have an error when I try to run updates, it appears to be a key issue. | 15:15 |
| silameth | is there any way to remove and replace the keys? | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: are you using 12.04? | 15:16 |
| cordoval | no | 15:16 |
| Stereocaulon | Gentoo64, I hop the joy of being able to switch back to proper Gnome2? | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Gentoo64: check the link | 15:16 |
| cordoval | but i want to if that is the latest | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: its dead upstream dude | 15:16 |
| Nikki_ | I'm using 12.04 Alpha 2. :) | 15:16 |

| ActionParsnip | cordoval: its at Installed: 5.0.0-0ubuntu1 on precise, that PPA gives the ability to use that version in Oneiric | 15:17 |
| compdoc | is always possible that unity 5.0 will be the best thing anyone has ever tried | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: move forward dude, its all good. You can always jump to XFCE which is made using GTK3 and will look and smell like Gnome2 | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | compdoc: many things are possible :) | 15:17 |
| Stereocaulon | compdoc, highly unlikely. | 15:17 |
| Stereocaulon | ActionParsnip, I did move forward, I´ m now running LXDE and I like it. | 15:18 |
| compdoc | oh yee of little faith | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: me too, it uses GTK3 too. LXDE rocks hard | 15:19 |
| Stereocaulon | compdoc, if the present day Unity is a nightmare when it comes to getting things done I am looking from a distance, while keeping a more productive DE at hand. | 15:20 |
| Stereocaulon | compdoc, ActionParsnip , The unity between smartphone, TV (latest project) and Desktop is enticing, but it should not ignore the specifics of different UI´s and usage patterns. | 15:21 |

| MonkeyDust | opalepatrick install the other browser first | 15:22 |
| opalepatrick | It is installed MonkeyDust | 15:22 |
| Stereocaulon | opalepatrick, probably it is not recognized internally for being a program of the browser category. | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | opalepatrick: if you check in /usr/share/applications for the iron.desktop file, make sure it matches the mimetype matches the one from the firefox file | 15:23 |
| Stereocaulon | opalepatrick, there´s probably some XML trick to add it to that category, but I wouldn´ t know how. | 15:23 |

| opalepatrick | ActionParsnip, I checked and there were no mime types listed. I copied the firefox ones logged out and checked again, but I still dont have the choice? | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | silameth: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192 will add it, if you use add-apt-repository instead of modifying sources.list you won't get this | 15:33 |

| dbugger | ActionParsnip, but with mediawiki what id need isnt a URL? like when I installed phpmyadmin? | 15:39 |
| dbugger | theres no command for mediawiki | 15:39 |
| llutz_ | dbugger: dpkg -L mediawiki | 15:40 |
| iceroot | dbugger: fqdn/mediawiki | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dbugger: not used it dude, http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/mediawiki/ | 15:40 |
| iceroot | dbugger: normally you have to edit /etc/mediawiki/apache2.conf | 15:40 |
| iceroot | dbugger: there is an apche alias which you must enable | 15:40 |
| MrDeso | Simple question, 10.04(LTS) vs 11.10(latest) for server | 15:41 |
| iceroot | MrDeso: 10.04 | 15:41 |
| iceroot | MrDeso: if you need ubuntu use 10.04, if you need something like ubuntu, use debian 6.0 | 15:41 |
| MrDeso | Is 11.10 for servers just for the really techsavy who are dying for every little feature the typical users use? | 15:42 |
| Mcl0vin | Humbedooh: apache2 folks think its ubuntu did something with httpd | 15:42 |
| iceroot | MrDeso: on a server normally you want stable and tested software and not new software which is not tested so long | 15:42 |
| iceroot | Mcl0vin: so ubuntu 10.04 or debian 6.0 | 15:42 |
| dbugger | iceroot, I have to uncomment the Alias, and copy everything into the /etc/apache2/apache.conf? | 15:42 |
| iceroot | dbugger: just uncomment the alias | 15:43 |
| Mcl0vin | ubuntu 10.04 | 15:43 |
| dbugger | and restart the server, i guess | 15:43 |
| iceroot | dbugger: normally there should be a symlink from the mediawiki/apache2.conf to the apache-dir | 15:43 |
| dbugger | yeah, that worked :) thanks :) | 15:43 |
| opalepatrick | Well they weren't ActionParsnip, it is now, but no difference | 15:43 |

| sskalnik | Slart: I guarantee you that synaptic is in the default install; perhaps you had a non-standard install. | 15:59 |
| theadmin | sskalnik: No, it's not. It doesn't come preinstalled with Oneiric. | 16:00 |
| Slart | hmm.. I'm starting to wonder if I'm remember wrong | 16:00 |

| ldms | I have a problem using ubuntu one | 19:21 |
| shaneo | hey guys i was doing a scan with rkhunter and found these errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/806548/ what should i do about them | 19:21 |
| Piranah | ldms: what is the issue ? | 19:22 |
| y2E0 | just lay it down Idms - don't hesitae =) | 19:22 |
| ldms | i am not able to sync my contacts | 19:23 |
| jutnux | ldms: Sync /what/ contacts? | 19:23 |
| ldms | Evolution | 19:23 |
| ldms | i'havce enabled couchdb | 19:23 |
| jutnux | Have you exported the contacts file? As far as I'm aware Ubuntu One does not auto sync clients. | 19:23 |
| ldms | i have copied my contacts to couchdb in evolution | 19:24 |
| ldms | and i think they sync automatically | 19:25 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: So, any ideas? I do have the latest BIOS | 19:28 |
| ldms | according with documentation | 19:28 |
| === retoaded is now known as retoaded_afk | ||
| y2E0 | i dont use evolution but maybe there's a buton to start synchronisation? otherwise better ask the evolution community. | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: none, sorry. Could try Precise liveCD | 19:29 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Doubt it would help. But thanks anyway. | 19:29 |
| Piranah | geez looks like |Omega| is looking for a k-line | 19:29 |
| mariya | my splash image in grub was changeed how to switch to default one? | 19:30 |
| mariya | !grub-splash | 19:30 |
| mariya | !splash | 19:30 |
| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 19:30 |
| ldms | do you know an IRC channel for evolution ? | 19:31 |
| Piranah | ldms yer best bet is this chan | 19:31 |
| bazhang | ldms, there's #ubuntuone | 19:31 |
| Piranah | bazhang: good point | 19:31 |
| ldms | thanks a lot i go there #ubuntuone | 19:31 |
| y2E0 | don't hesitate to reask the question. maybe then some evolution ppl are around! | 19:32 |
| ldms | now i need a manner to come out :-) | 19:33 |

| Chotaz | I need some help diagnosing my internet data stream/traffic, I'm having unusual upload speed patterns, but I've never dealt with this before. | 19:34 |
| Ublunttu | Chotaz: get a chicken, hook it up to the router, if it clucks you are fine. | 19:35 |
| jutnux | Chotaz: Is the speed fine on a computer running another OS? | 19:35 |
| Chotaz | jutnux: yes | 19:35 |

| y2E0 | just type /leave #ubuntuand nothing else | 19:36 |

| okee | I am doing some research. What laptop make and models are people using? | 19:39 |
| xangua | okee: not a poll channel ;) | 19:40 |
| MFen | does anyone know why the oneiric iso is unreadable on macs? | 19:40 |
| Ublunttu | okee: laptops give bad performance / reliability for the money. the battery will wear out in 6mo's | 19:40 |
| MFen | "no mountable file systems" over and over again. i followed the official mac os x burning instructions for the disk | 19:40 |
| MFen | nothing but coasters | 19:40 |
| MFen | and i'm not the only one.. there's this long thread with no solution..http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1870261 | 19:41 |
| MFen | disks are readable in linux | 19:41 |
| Ublunttu | MFen: do you have md5 checked the iso | 19:41 |
| MFen | no need. two different downloads on two different machines, same outcomes | 19:41 |
| Ublunttu | MFen: .............. | 19:42 |
| Ublunttu | but did you md5 check either iso ? | 19:42 |
| MFen | fine, i'll do that now | 19:42 |
| Ublunttu | thats always the first step [B4] burning | 19:42 |

| vani | so is precise going to have systemd? or will it continue with upstart... | 19:46 |
| Chotaz | jutnux: ran speedtext 60/6, just what's expected. | 19:46 |
| Chotaz | speedtest* | 19:46 |
| MFen | we're working around by booting it inside of a VM, which recognizes the disk just fine. but os x does not | 19:46 |
| theadmin | vani: Upstart. SystemD isn't really used that much in Ubuntu, sadly, despite being a great initsystem. | 19:46 |
| theadmin | vani: You can probably apt-get install it, though | 19:46 |
| capleton | ActionParsnip: Thanks, gonna try that | 19:47 |
| urlin2u | MFen, if it runs in a virtual kt is not obviously the image, it is a mac problem. | 19:47 |
| urlin2u | it | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | vani: http://paste.ubuntu.com/806583/ is the result of: locate systemd | 19:47 |
| akyre | sziasztok vannak itt magyarok???? | 19:47 |
| MFen | unlin2u does it really matter whether mac or canonical is at fault? the disk doesn't work, i was just looking for a solution | 19:48 |
| y2E0 | is there a chrome/chromium channel out there? I've problems with the Native Client technology | 19:48 |
| vani | Thanks all. | 19:48 |
| theadmin | MFen: Does the alternate image work maybe? | 19:48 |
| Ublunttu | MFen: i dont think canonical is at fault lol | 19:48 |

| * y2E0 starts a fight with the mouse. Bastard! | 19:49 | |

| MFen | ah | 19:49 |
| MFen | well i'll try that on the next one | 19:49 |
| urlin2u | MFen, when you make broad unsubstantiated claims you must be ready to back them up not make a new schema, we get your frustarted, we get you have a thread which other people are as well... but use some critical reasoning. | 19:49 |

Now I want to re-install and accept the TOS, it won't let me. It goes straight to the "you must accept blah blah canceled" screen, and I can't install. Any fix for this bug? | 19:50 |
| MFen | urlin2u: that's a claim all right, but it's not unsubstantiated | 19:50 |
| urlin2u | MFen, no real substance hear but a opinion. | 19:51 |
| Ublunttu | MFen: you think it's canonicals fault cause you can't burn an .iso | 19:51 |
| Ublunttu | lmao | 19:51 |
| MFen | the substance is the fact that this is reproducible, and has been reproduced, and the reproduction has been documented, in the thread which i quoted and referred to in the same claim you are quoting | 19:51 |
| Lysi | Hi, can someone *not* located in Germany ping linuxtoday.com, we're currently three which have 100 percent package loss. Thank you. | 19:51 |

| theadmin | mang0: You won't even notice | 19:57 |
| mang0 | theadmin: I would, but I find it useful sometimes :/ I wish I could set it for a certain channel XD | 19:58 |
| theadmin | mang0: Hm in some clients (like irssi) you can | 19:58 |
| glebihan | mang0, in xchat you can too | 19:58 |

| mang0 | glebihan: How? | 19:58 |

| chex_ | Not via GUI, that is | 19:59 |
| mang0 | glebihan: Ah, thanks :) | 19:59 |
| theadmin | chex_: initscripts, mostly. | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: is it a gui app? | 19:59 |
| glebihan | mang0, you're welcome | 19:59 |
| chex_ | Nope, it's Transmission | 19:59 |
| chex_ | with a whole lot of parametres | 19:59 |
| chex_ | or, args | 19:59 |
| Diranged | well that was fun… umm ok , same question.. any idea how to tell reprepro to use a different pool path for a different distribution? | 19:59 |
| === chris226 is now known as chacken | ||
| Confoozed | to my layman's eyes, those appear to be the same except one is marked ubuntu6 and the other is marked ubuntu6.10 - how can I get this to just be happy using the karmic packages? | 19:59 |
| theadmin | chex_: Then just use the "Startup Apps" tool from Gnome | 20:00 |
| Diranged | ie.. i have one repo.. 2 distributions supported (lucid and natty).. i want to have pool/lucid for all the lucid packages. and pool/natty for all the natty packages | 20:00 |
| chex_ | theadmin: I've switched to LXDE for a more light-weight environment | 20:00 |
| glebihan | Confoozed, you can't | 20:00 |
| Confoozed | any suggestions anyone might have for how I can get this to play nice would be greatly appreciated. | 20:00 |
| meco | How can I find another program to bind to the PrintScreen key? | 20:00 |
| LjL | Confoozed: you can't really, not without manually modifying the packages | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: ln -s /usr/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop ~/.config/autostart/transmission-gtk.desktop will do it | 20:00 |
| chex_ | And in Desktop Session Settings it wont appear | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: I use LXDE too ;) | 20:00 |

| vadimkiselev | test | 20:01 |
| chex_ | But it wont start | 20:01 |

| ActionParsnip | chex_: its not the binary you link in there, its the .desktop file | 20:02 |
| theadmin | Bleh all those des are confusing... In openbox I haz just ~/.config/openbox/autostart which is a freaking bash script :/ | 20:02 |
| Pici | Confoozed: Why can't you use php 5.3? | 20:02 |
| chex_ | ActionParsnip: I simply copied another one of the .desktop-files I had there and changed the name and parametres | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: if you want special options, run: cp /usr/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop ~/.config/autostart/transmission-gtk.desktop; leafpad ~/.config/autostart/transmission-gtk.desktop | 20:03 |
| chex_ | Though I set Hidden=true and NoDisplay=true | 20:03 |
| ro_70s | I tried xmodmap -e "keysym Scroll_Lock = Num_Lock" but it doesnt't toggle the setting | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: then edit the file as you need | 20:03 |
| Confoozed | Pici: it confilicts with Drupal6 | 20:03 |
| y2E0 | chromium seems dead anyone here is using the native client plugin? | 20:03 |
| chex_ | I already did | 20:03 |
| Confoozed | or so I have been told | 20:03 |
| chex_ | but with gedit, same thing I reckon | 20:03 |
| ro_70s | How can I swap Scroll Lock and Num Lock keys? | 20:03 |
| chex_ | But I run transmission-daemon | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: same deal, leafpad is just default in LXDE | 20:04 |

| steveoliver | LjL: guess not... | 20:06 |
| ro_70s | gwelter is there a way to make xmodmap revert a change? OR do I ahve to relog in to see the settings since I've already changed them? :D | 20:06 |
| LjL | steveoliver: how did you create the user? you should normally use "adduser" (not "useradd") or the GUI | 20:07 |
| ro_70s | gwelter: ty , btw | 20:07 |
| Confoozed | i actually have php 5.2 installed - but it is causing all sorts of conflicts when I try to install other things that rely on php | 20:07 |
| theadmin | chex_: Why transmission anyway? You can use some CLI client like rtorrent. Or Deluge, which is web-based. Or... yeah, many of them. | 20:07 |
| steveoliver | LjL: useradd | 20:07 |
| Lasivian | heya folks. http://pastebin.com/tkQCgUq6 <-- paste of "top" output, just curious if someone can have a look at it, i'm thinking someone else on this shared box is hogging the resources rather than me, but i'm a newbie so i'm not sure. | 20:07 |
| capleton | to boot with safevga, do you just add -- vga=safevga at the end of the boot script in grub? | 20:07 |
| Confoozed | lke php mysql, phpmyadmin etc | 20:07 |
| acidfrost | i've lost the password for my keyring is there anyway to reset it or remove it, as its rather annoying | 20:07 |
| chex_ | theadmin: because Transmission had a convenient GUI Remote App for Windows | 20:07 |
| gwelter | ro_70s: relogin or save the default modmap and reactivate that one | 20:07 |
| LjL | steveoliver: then either delete the user and re-create it with adduser, or manually edit /etc/passwd ("sudo vipw") and give the user /bin/bash as shell | 20:07 |
| ro_70s | gwelter: okay. thanks | 20:07 |
| theadmin | chex_: Not *too* convenient. I find a web interface much more useful :D | 20:07 |
| steveoliver | LjL: I did adduser --system --group --home /var/aegir aegir | 20:07 |
| steveoliver | adduser aegir www-data | 20:07 |
| chex_ | theadmin: I suck at management, I need all tabs I can have in my browser | 20:08 |
| steveoliver | --shell /bin/bash ? | 20:08 |
| chex_ | And seeing as I'm used to using utorrent, transmission makes a good transition | 20:08 |
| theadmin | chex_: Try qbittorrent. It's a utorrent clone, *literally*, and has a web interface. | 20:08 |
| mael | Hello | 20:08 |
| LjL | steveoliver: why --system and --group? | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line add: su - chex -c transmission-daemon -a 10.0.0.* -g /home/chex/.config/transmission-daemon/ -c /home/chex/Downloads/Torrents/ -gsr 1 --incomplete-dir /media/Externa/Nedladdningar/ -u chex -v chex -epHidden=true & | 20:09 |
| steveoliver | LjL: not sure, was following instructions | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: or add it to @boot in cron | 20:09 |
| northernen | Stupid question, but how can I make vi show "Insert mode" and "Command mode" at the bottom of the screen? | 20:09 |
| nyancattt | can ubuntu install on a netbook ? | 20:09 |
| acidfrost | steveoliver, the default adduser with no options should be more than sufficient provided you have a properly configured ssh server | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | nyancattt: yes | 20:09 |
| Pseudoephedrine | Getting this error when trying to install Supybot http://paste.pound-python.org/show/16206/ | 20:09 |
| steveoliver | acidfrost: without needing to specify a shell? | 20:10 |
| chex_ | I'll try that, thanks ActionParsnip | 20:10 |
| acidfrost | you don't need to the default is /bin/bash | 20:10 |
| chex_ | Thank you kindly for taking the time | 20:10 |
| chex_ | You're worth your weight in gold | 20:10 |
| LjL | steveoliver: well if you were following instructions then i guess maybe there is a valid reason, but "normal" users - ones meant to just be logged into and used - aren't normally created with --system and --group. anyway, "sudo vipw", find the relevant line, and change the last part from /bin/false or whatever it is to /bin/bash | 20:10 |
| theadmin | chex_: Here's how my qbittorrent web ui looks, if you're interested: http://i.imm.io/eITt.png | 20:10 |
| capleton | Alright, imma start from the beginning, i did a do-release-upgrade, from lucid, and now I'm not sure what i need to fix / how because i can get into grub, but not into the system... & /me is not too grub-savvy. | 20:11 |
| chex_ | theadmin: I'll check it out, thanks | 20:11 |
| capleton | if someone could help, i'd be indebted | 20:11 |
| capleton | & really happy | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: always a pleasure, thanks for the gratitude :) | 20:11 |
| steveoliver | LjL: it's already set at /bin/sh | 20:11 |
| acidfrost | steveoliver, i have a guide on the TN loco site if you want to follow it shows you how to setup an ssh server for local use | 20:11 |
| capleton | this is my xbmc... i can't go without music or TV! | 20:11 |
| federoss93 | [ http://xdcc_167 ] | 20:11 |
| steveoliver | acidfrost: ssh server is working, as i can log in with root | 20:11 |
| steveoliver | (and stay logged in) ;) | 20:11 |
| chex_ | theadmin: Judging from the looks of it and because of the fact that it's a web interface, I think I'll stick to transmission if I can get this to work | 20:11 |
| acidfrost | steveoliver, you don't have it set to chroot do you ? | 20:12 |
| LjL | steveoliver: then i don't know why it's kicking you out :( | 20:12 |
| steveoliver | acidfrost: not sure | 20:12 |
| theadmin | chex_: It has a qt UI too, which works just as well (looks identically to the web one) | 20:12 |
| steveoliver | I'll try ssh'ing in from another machine | 20:12 |
| acidfrost | steveoliver, if its set to chroot and the user doesn't have permissions it won't let you in | 20:12 |

| capleton | all you need in grub is root, kernel, and initrd right? | 20:19 |
| capleton | for each grub entry i mean | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | wendico: if you run: uname -r you will see the running kernel | 20:19 |

| capleton | wrong chan, sry | 20:20 |
| acidfrost | !nouveau | capleton | 20:20 |
| ubottu | capleton: nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default since Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, 3D rendering is only partially supported. More information can be found at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | See !nvidia for the closed-source Nvidia driver. | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | wendico: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image you will see the installed kernels and the metapackage. You can remove any you do not want except the running kernel or the metapackage | 20:20 |
| acidfrost | capleton, though please just /msg the bot | 20:20 |
| capleton | thanks guys | 20:21 |
| chex_ | ActionParsnip: It still wont start | 20:21 |
| chex_ | ActionParsnip: I ran ps ax | grep trans without any results :( | 20:21 |
| acidfrost | capleton, syntax: !topic | 20:21 |
| acidfrost | for example !nvidia | 20:21 |
| capleton | does do-release-upgrade automatically reininstall nouveau drivers even if proprietary drivers were already installed? | 20:22 |
| acidfrost | capleton, no | 20:22 |
| capleton | ah | 20:22 |
| milen8204 | What should I do to see a shared folder in Ubuntu network ? | 20:23 |
| capleton | TY | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | milen8204: from what OS are you trying to see the share? | 20:23 |
| wendico | actionparsnip: thank you, so i can use synaptic to uninstall not using kernels? do i need to uninstall more packages like linux-headers or only the linux-image... ? | 20:23 |
| swergas | hi | 20:23 |
| milen8204 | ActionParsnip, Ubuntu - Ubuntu | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | wendico: if you want to use synaptic you can, the other header packages will be marked for removal | 20:23 |
| milen8204 | ActionParsnip, bough are 11.10 | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | milen8204: on the client, you can run: smbtree and the LAN will be scanned for shares in CLI | 20:24 |

| swergas | my laptop won't boot correctly, I get an error and a minimal shell, what shall I do? It displays "mout: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed:No such file or directory" and same for /root/sys and /root/proc | 20:25 |
| capleton | alright, i really don't understand. Why am I getting nouveau errors if I don't have the nouveau nvidia drivers installed? | 20:25 |
| acidfrost | capleton, you probably need to blacklist the module | 20:25 |
| capleton | how do i do that? | 20:26 |
| qwebirc54665 | i need help, after a weird update the system delete my kernel image an i have to reinstall it but now i dont have gnome, internet conection and a turn of button... can you help me? | 20:26 |
| capleton | is it in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ? b/c i couldn't find it | 20:26 |
| milen8204 | ActionParsnip, I am connected trough rooter | 20:26 |
| Gentoo64 | capleton: whats the error | 20:26 |
| Gentoo64 | ir migth be normal | 20:26 |
| DrPoO | How can I kill gnome from the command line? it used to be sudo service gdm stop... | 20:26 |
| theadmin | DrPoO: sudo service lightdm stop | 20:27 |
| acidfrost | capleton, one second its been awhile | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | milen8204: the interconnection is irrelevant, if there is a logical link, it will show | 20:27 |
| capleton | Gentoo64: i'll have to copy it again, let me try another reboot | 20:27 |
| acidfrost | capleton, cd /etc/modprobe.d | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | DrPoO: oneiric uses lightdm, why are you wanting to kill gnome? | 20:27 |
| acidfrost | capleton, then sudo [insert your editor of choice] blacklist.conf | 20:27 |
| capleton | acidfrost: from the grub shell? | 20:28 |
| capleton | or do i need to use a live disc? | 20:28 |
| DrPoO | ActionParsnip, I want to run a memory intensive program I wrote | 20:28 |
| milen8204 | ActionParsnip, but I `ve tried smbtree but nothing happen | 20:28 |
| acidfrost | capleton, i'd use a live disk | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: good idea to use gksudo incase a gui app is used ;) | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | DrPoO: you could press CTRL+ALT+F1 and kill the process there maybe. | 20:28 |
| milen8204 | ActionParsnip, should I have Samba ? :D | 20:29 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Just "sudo service lightdm stop" | 20:29 |
| DrPoO | ActionParsnip, I am not physically in front of the machine... | 20:29 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, yeah i forgot that some users use gedit | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | milen8204: on the cserver, yes | 20:29 |
| DrPoO | theadmin, thanks that worked like a charm! :) | 20:29 |
| theadmin | DrPoO: np | 20:29 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, although if you run gedit as root it will retain root privileges | 20:29 |
| qwebirc54665 | i need help, after a weird update the system delete my kernel image an i have to reinstall it but now i dont have gnome, internet conection and a turn of button... can you help me? | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | DrPoO: I see, then theadmin's command will fly | 20:29 |
| capleton | Gentoo64: The error (after a bunch of udevd errors) was [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Pointer to BIT loadval table invalid | 20:29 |
| acidfrost | acidfrost, therefore its gksu is kinda pointless | 20:30 |
| acidfrost | s/its/ | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: it can damage the ICEauthority file, makes issues. | 20:30 |
| kristoffer | Hey some one know how i get the wireless icon back on panel its gone? | 20:30 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, i've never had an issue with just using sudo gedit | 20:30 |
| milen8204 | ActionParsnip, no I just have a laptop and PC connected in internet trough rooter, and I want transfer some files, could you help me to do that ? | 20:31 |
| Gentoo64 | capleton: no idea | 20:31 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, though on the other hand you do want to use the vi for etc/passwd | 20:31 |
| Gentoo64 | capleton: but its not normal | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: one example: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/112187 | 20:31 |
| kristoffer | its kida frustrating not to see what wifi connection iam on :/ | 20:31 |
| wendico | Hello, i uninstalled old kernels thought synaptic but not other packages were marked for removal automatically. Computer Janitor suggest me to delete linux-headers but only related to one kernel, should i uninstall all the linux-headers related to old kernels? What other packages may i savely remove related to old kernels? | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: I frequently see questions like that on launchpad | 20:31 |
| kingisher64 | randomly ubuntu 11.10 keeps freezing. I can shut down using ctrl, alt, del but the existing opended programs just won't respond. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how i can troubleshoot this? | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: sudo isn't suitable for gui apps, it doesn't set up the X environment correctly, gksudo and kdesu do that | 20:32 |
| qwebirc54665 | kristoffer do you have gnome 3.x?? | 20:32 |
| caffine | my desktop is running 11.04 and as of last night, it has started shutting itself down. how do i find out why it's crashing? which log is the best place to start for that? in the brief time that it was up a moment ago, i saw in dmesg that it was remounting the drive a time or two. not sure if that's normal. compiz crashed like four times. | 20:32 |
| chex_ | ActionParsnip: It worked without the su - chex -c | 20:32 |
| chex_ | Dodm | 20:32 |
| kristoffer | qwebirc54665, no sorry i think i got gnome 2, ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS | 20:32 |
| chex_ | DOdm | 20:32 |
| chex_ | ... Didn't need to run the program as root | 20:32 |
| wendico | kristoffer: you can see what wifi you are conected to with the command iwconfig | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | chex_: sweet, I'd test it so it runs fully as expected :) | 20:33 |
| eiby | hi | 20:33 |
| kristoffer | wendico, yes but its hard to connect to another one if i cant get listed what network is up isent it? so thats why i need the wifi icon on panel if iam gonna connect to another wifi... | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: another I fixed in the same way: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+question/184814 | 20:33 |
| qwebirc54665 | kristoffer mmm did you try to configure it whith compiz or ubuntu tweak?? | 20:33 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, maybe the case with some files but blacklist.conf will be fine | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: notice in the follow up the user caued the issue again with sudo gedit... | 20:34 |
| acidfrost | and generally the idea of using a shell is to use a shell not a gui | 20:34 |
| acidfrost | and nano is more than usable for new shell users | 20:34 |
| kristoffer | qwebirc54665, hmm, maby in compiz, cuz i got an waring afther i put on a effect, then i pressed "delet automatic" before i relased what i deleted :S | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | its a good way to run apps, gui or not | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | nano is awesome :) | 20:35 |
| acidfrost | personally i use vim or vi if vim isn't installed ;p | 20:35 |
| qwebirc54665 | kristoffer well... you can try to remove the networkmanager and reinstall it... just sayin... | 20:36 |
| qwebirc54665 | i need help, after a weird update the system delete my kernel image an i have to reinstall it but now i dont have gnome, internet conection and a turn of button... can you help me? | 20:36 |

| sightlight | hi | 20:41 |
| wendico | guntbert: ty | 20:41 |
| sightlight | I currently have wine UNistalled | 20:41 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, yeah but it won't really help them in the long run as they don't understand what all of that does | 20:41 |
| sightlight | how do I install it from source | 20:41 |
| sightlight | its compiled already | 20:41 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, that and i've never used tee | 20:41 |
| LjL | sightlight: reason? | 20:42 |
| guntbert | wendico: you're welcome :-) and you can remove the kernels themselves too (linux-image-....) | 20:42 |
| acidfrost | sightlight, make install | 20:42 |
| sightlight | make install | 20:42 |
| acidfrost | sightlight, though be very careful about which programs you choose to install from source | 20:42 |
| sightlight | ill try | 20:42 |
| LjL | sightlight: before you "make install" | 20:42 |
| Chakravanti | why doesn't ctrl+alt-backspace work anymore? | 20:42 |
| LjL | sightlight: keep in mind if you do that, you will probably not be able to uninstall it later. | 20:42 |
| acidfrost | sightlight read my last post | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: cat "some text to add" | sudo tee -a /path/to/file if you remove -a it will wipe the file and the stuff in the quotes will be the only content of the file | 20:42 |
| TimR | Chakravanti: You can re-enable it in the keyboard settings | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | sorry, not cat, echo | 20:43 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, thanks for the info seems quite usefull | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: handy for scripts | 20:43 |
| TimR | Chakravanti: I suspect it was disabled to avoid people, who did not know about it, accidentally triggering it | 20:44 |
| acidfrost | LjL thats not entirely true most source installs provide away to remove most of the core although sometimes you'll be left with leftover libs and user files | 20:44 |
| guntbert | !dontzap | Chakravanti | 20:44 |
| ubottu | Chakravanti: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 20:44 |
| Chakravanti | yeah just really annoying having to hard off | 20:44 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, yeah that was my thoughts exactly | 20:45 |
| guntbert | Chakravanti: and you can use <alt><sysreq>k too | 20:45 |
| sightlight | its installing | 20:45 |

| acidfrost | tigrang, you probably don't have a 100% iso, ubuntu doesn't provide away for you to install with out a kernel | 20:46 |
| acidfrost | caffine you check dmesg ? | 20:46 |
| tigrang | ActionParsnip, acidfrost I did the test it said valid | 20:46 |

| acidfrost | sightlight, uhh i doubt it | 20:47 |
| tigrang | 32 bit iso (im downloading 64 bit one now tho) ActionParsnip | 20:47 |

| JDeagle | well i have this server, with a has a virtual interface and the problem I am having is that no one outside the domain can see the webserver or vpn | 20:54 |
| ActionParsnip | wendico: /home on NTFS is a bad idea | 20:54 |
| acerimmer | wendico: VERY B - A - D | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | wendico: have a small /home of a few Gbs, then symlink your user data folders (like pics and junk) stored in the NTFS | 20:55 |
| jutnux | JDeagle: Try #ubuntu-server | 20:55 |
| acidfrost | JDeagle, your using apache ? | 20:55 |

| LjL | diuneigh_: it doesn't seem to be a problem with LinuxDC++ itself, but with some library, at least according to a quick googling. are you on Oneiric? | 21:00 |
| diuneigh_ | LjL yes.. 11.10... | 21:00 |

| no_gravity | Hello! How can I write a accent des gue on my keybord? I have the ´ sign, but how can i put it on top of a character? | 21:01 |
| obelus | vassagus, because 32-bit Ubuntu will run on all computers, and there's no harm in using it on 64-bit PCs unless you have more than 4GB RAM | 21:01 |
| wendico | if i use my /home (dedicated partition) only for system and programs files and symlink the highest occupation folders to a different partition (media folders, pics...) what would be a MINIMUM save size for the partition containing /home? | 21:02 |
| vassagus | So if i have 8GB ram and core i7, i should install the x64 version, right? | 21:02 |
| wendico | vassagus: yes | 21:02 |
| obelus | vassagus, yep, or you wont get access to any more than ~3.5GB | 21:02 |

| HSarena | Hi! | 21:22 |
| KBentley57 | mattosaurus, go to another pc you can log into and do an ipconfig /all | 21:23 |
| KBentley57 | mattosaurus, copy down the settings and you should be good to go, just change the ip address to something different | 21:23 |
| deseee | KBentley57, as acidfrost pointed out, if I manually install a newer version than I should, it makes upgrading in the future very difficult. The kicker is- this "third software" is more-or-less just a plugin for our "primary software" (both Linux apps). The primary software requires 10.04, and so, the "third software" should also, in turn, be working on 10.04, one would think? :) ... but it's dependencies are too high. Similar to what they | 21:24 |
| deseee | would be if they compiled using the wrong version# of Ubuntu. Do you know of a way to fix? | 21:24 |
| mattosaurus | KBentley57, I have my laptop here running mint | 21:24 |
| HSarena | I can't watch any clip from youtube, after i install ubuntu 11.10. what is my problem??? | 21:24 |

| mattosaurus | deseee, can I see that information from my laptop that is plugged into the router> | 21:29 |
| acidfrost | caffine, then you have something breaking xorg | 21:29 |
| deseee | mattosaurus, yes you login to the router when you corded to the router | 21:30 |
| acidfrost | deseee, could you not upgrade to 10.10 and fix the issue ? | 21:30 |
| caffine | acidfrost: i figured it was that low in the system, or worse. :( but hopefully something killing the kernel or thereabouts would generate some sort of log. | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Rafael: sure, or imageshack or dropbox public folder etc | 21:30 |
| acidfrost | caffine, you have anything new you've installed (ie outside the repo) ? | 21:31 |
| deseee | acidfrost, Exactly- I cannot. The primary software specifically recommends 10.04LTS. I got no issue with LTS, per say, it's my "third software" that I need working that says it wants newer versions of a couple packages. | 21:31 |
| mattosaurus | deseee, it is just a switch, not a router | 21:31 |
| caffine | nope. only thing i've done outside repo is node.js, but i'm not sure i've done that on that machine. and definitely haven't updated it for way too long. and not even running it on that machine. | 21:32 |
| acidfrost | deseee, i suppose the only way then is to install all of the dependencies manually | 21:32 |

| deseee | mattosaurus, boy, you got me on that one! :/ | 21:33 |
| mattosaurus | deseee, I can try plugging directly into the wall | 21:33 |
| mattosaurus | deseee, if I could plug directly into the wall on my school's network, would I be able to see enough of what I needed? | 21:34 |
| RokcStar | sroy2: doesnt the dvd have a detect errors option? | 21:34 |
| === cap_away is now known as capleton | ||
| deseee | mattosaurus, that will b the same as going thru the switch. You will have a better chance having your PC tell you the info you require if you boot Winblows. I know of no way to find those on Linux. | 21:34 |
| sroy2 | err... its a file I burned some file to before I moved over to ubuntu | 21:34 |
| lifestream | I have two different commands, http://pastie.org/pastes/3197636/text Note that each one has different paths to the Gw.exe file. Why, when I start the 2nd one, does it use the path on the first one? O_o | 21:34 |
| caffine | acidfrost: i think you're right that it is something that's running that's killing it. those compiz crashes look a bit suspicious to me, but there are a bunch before the system dies. i'm currently running the machine without logging in to see if i can make it past the shortest time between hard shutdowns. | 21:34 |
| johnf_ | 11.10 install does not see my second video card (ati 5570). What do I need to do? | 21:35 |
| sroy2 | RokcStar: its just a DVD I burned files to before I moved over to ubuntu - as of now its the only copy of those files... :s | 21:35 |
| mattosaurus | deseee, ok I have a windows box in the vicinity as well | 21:35 |
| mattosaurus | deseee, so thhis isn't a total wash just yet | 21:36 |
| acidfrost | caffine i'd disable compiz temporarily then take a look at what plugins/modules you have running | 21:36 |
| acidfrost | mattosaurus, what did you need ? | 21:36 |
| deseee | mattosaurus, right oh! OK so connect the win box, ping google, and once up, goto connection settings. Info should be in there. | 21:36 |
| jwp121 | mattosaurus: does running ifconfig -a show you what you need? | 21:36 |
| ryanburn | how do you enable X11 forwarding? | 21:37 |
| Rafael | ok ..maybe somebody can help me..i have ubuntu 9.10 on sofware raid md0-boot (raid1) , md1-swap (raid1), md2-system (raid 5), md3-home (raid 5), i have a crash and even though system appears to be working well i get the following screen at boot: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/215/20120116104650458.jpg/ | 21:37 |
| mattosaurus | jwage, no I need all the dhcp stuff I guess | 21:37 |
| deseee | acidfrost, Is there any way to install the higher package numbers needed without compiling each of the packages from source? | 21:37 |
| pnorman | Rafael: was this a reboot after a crash? | 21:37 |
| acidfrost | deseee, you could add the 10.10 ppa though this might cause conflicts later | 21:37 |
| lytithwyn | mattosaurus: if you configure your computer to use dhcp temporarily, ifconfig will show you the ip address and the subnet mask, and /etc/reslov.conf will contain the DNS address. | 21:38 |
| matt23 | How can I make my laptop screen turn off when I close it, as compared to just staying lit? | 21:38 |
| jutnux | matt23: Check out the power settings. | 21:39 |
| matt23 | It's set to blank screen | 21:39 |
| auronandace | matt23: doesn't it do that automatically? | 21:39 |
| matt23 | but stays up with whatever is up | 21:39 |
| matt23 | no. Maybe it's not pushing the button when I shut it? | 21:39 |
| lytithwyn | mattosaurus: that's /etc/resolv.conf actually. Sorry. | 21:39 |
| Rafael | pnorman...yes but it shows now everytime i boot the machine...the computer looks to be working fine, but it appears everytime, and that is why i was trying to get some help | 21:40 |
| johnf_ | What's the deal guys - there does not seem to be much in the way of info on using 2 video cards? Where can I find out info? | 21:40 |
| deseee | acidfrost, AAAaaah, OK yeah. Yeah that's an option. ... ... Well, thanks for the help! I wish it was easier answer for us :) | 21:40 |
| Arqui | hybrid graphics, see ubuntu help | 21:40 |
| johnf_ | hybrid graphics appears to be about laptops? | 21:41 |
| Arqui | yes, laptops and all-in-ones | 21:41 |
| acidfrost | deseee no problem | 21:41 |
| johnf_ | OK thanks anyway - bye | 21:42 |

| Boreeas | auronandace, caffine: Thanks | 21:46 |
| auronandace | Rayston: clementine is like the old amarok | 21:47 |
| Rayston | kay, thanx | 21:47 |
| jwp121 | Rayston: try VLC | 21:47 |
| obelus | Wha | 21:47 |
| obelus | What was the pretty version of df again? | 21:48 |
| auronandace | Rayston: i prefer vlc though, never been one for the large library apps like amarok | 21:48 |
| caffine | obelus: pretty how? df -h | 21:48 |
| auronandace | Rayston: if you prefer those though another option could be rythymbox | 21:49 |
| jasef | caffine I mean, there was one that made nicer output, it had a percentage bar of free space on the mount as well. | 21:49 |

| HalfCentMan | Greetings... Where can I find a good set of directions on HOWTO set up my Ubuntu 11.04 netbook (with wireless and eth) as a 'passthru' connection eth-to-wlan for another Linux box that needs internet access for installing (post system) software ? | 21:50 |
| deseee | acidfrost, Hey if I add the 10.10 Repo into 10.04LTS, wont it see updates for many many packs and want to update them? That would make it very non-LTS (if I'm not mistaken)? | 21:50 |
| caffine | jasef: ah. that's why i have stereo happening. :) i haven't seen the one that you're talking about, but it sounds neat. | 21:50 |
| auronandace | deseee: it would break the distro | 21:50 |
| acidfrost | deseee, don't update via the update manager | 21:50 |
| mox | salve amici | 21:50 |
| jasef | caffine: I'll have to ask my friend when school goes back. He found it for me in the first place, but I had to reinstall and forgot to backup my package list | 21:51 |
| acidfrost | deseee, you need to remove the ppa for 10.10 after you get the packages you need | 21:51 |
| deseee | acidfrost, AAAAAaaaaaa! OK I broke it one time by using UpdateManager after adding a "future" repo like that. :) hahhahahahah OK you two are making sense to me, now! | 21:52 |
| deseee | :D | 21:52 |
| Lednay | bye! | 21:52 |
| Rayston | thanx guys, trying clementine now | 21:52 |
| glebihan | deseee, I really don't recommend adding a repo from a different release (and it will very likely not work anyway) | 21:52 |
| _cb | what is the cli to display the DNS servers being used ? | 21:53 |
| deseee | glebihan, it's an "emergency" more or less ;) ... ... (malformed installer) | 21:53 |
| acerimmer | deseee: nothing good will come of this... | 21:53 |
| glebihan | deseee, it's very unlikely to be better after that... | 21:54 |
| elcharuto | hello ppl | 21:54 |
| caffine | acidfrost: was doing some parallel testing and realized i don't know how to disable compiz on the machine for all the users. is there just a config setting for that? | 21:54 |
| acidfrost | caffine you could just remove compiz | 21:54 |
| deseee | we're trying to meet dependencies though... | 21:54 |
| caffine | acidfrost: another good idea. | 21:54 |
| acidfrost | caffine, a better solution though | 21:54 |
| acidfrost | caffine is to rename the compiz binary to compiz-old | 21:55 |
| LowWalker | _cb - I use nslookup and just watch were the response comes from | 21:55 |
| glebihan | deseee, well, do what you want. You've been warned though, you're probably going to break your system | 21:55 |
| acidfrost | which would break the execution chain | 21:55 |
| Pici | _cb: cat /etc/resolv.conf | 21:55 |
| _cb | thanks Pici | 21:55 |
| caffine | acidfrost: but it'll break at a point beyond where things will work? that is, it won't stop my desktop from working, just not enable the pretties? | 21:56 |
| deseee | glebihan, Thank You for the warning, it is mission-critical the soft runs, though, so we gotta try Something. :) | 21:56 |
| auronandace | deseee: virtualization? | 21:57 |
| deseee | alrighty guys - cross ur fingers for me! :) | 21:57 |
| pangolin | deseee: mission critical to me would suggest not doing something that will break your system causing more downtime. | 21:57 |
| caffine | acidfrost: i think we're on the right track, though. the last time it crashed, the only thing i was doing was abcde from a terminal window. now i'm sshed in and running abcde again and it seems to be running fine. so without the desktop stuff, it's fairly happy. | 21:58 |
| Tucks | sup guys. what're we talkin' about today? compiz? | 21:58 |
| deseee | auronandace, Nope- there are prePhipreals that need to run including a NullModem receipt printer. This is all for a POS system. | 21:58 |
| auronandace | deseee: then you'll likely get to see it go horribly wrong, have fun :) | 21:59 |
| acidfrost | caffine then its probably a plugin your using that might have a memory leak | 21:59 |
| deseee | pangolin, But if we cant do anything with the POS in question, then getting it's software to run correct seems like the right course of action | 21:59 |
| HalfCentMan | ... I have a second Linux machine in another part of the house (in a land far far away from any hardline, with no spare WiFi card), and I need to get internet access to that. Is there a way I can set my Ubuntu Natty on my NetBook up as a passthru (WiFi <-> Eth) for the remote machine ? I do have a CentreCOM 12-port Hub to link the NetBook and the remote machine. | 21:59 |
| caffine | Tucks: i'm the only one that might be having a problem with it. if yo know anything about raid, Rafael would probably love some help. :) | 22:00 |

| === raj` is now known as raj | ||
| deseee | pangolin, it's a PCI-DSS injection software for OpenBravo. | 22:00 |
| caffine | acidfrost: i spoke too soon. it just shut itself down without me logging in. | 22:00 |
| pangolin | deseee: Do what you think is best I guess. | 22:01 |
| acidfrost | caffine, i'd disable network communications then if your compromised it shouldn't shutdown | 22:01 |
| Tucks | caffine: Oh, lol! I hated that program. It was cool at first, but then it would just like break on me and either Unity or my Window Manager's process would get killed, and then I'd had to force restart my computer. =/ | 22:01 |
| HalfCentMan | PS -- I have succeeded in getting the NetBook and the older machine to talk and access each other. | 22:01 |
| kingisher64 | how do i create a folder shortcut in the sidebar? Right click on the folder then ... | 22:02 |
| acidfrost | caffine, i'd also check your /var/log/auth.log & /var/log/auth.log.1(if it exists) | 22:02 |
| caffine | acidfrost: it's still not doing a real shutdown, though. it'll just die. with a proper shutdown, users that are sshed in will get that notification on their terminal. i didn't see that on either terminal. | 22:02 |
| acidfrost | caffine, i just thought a better approach is to run a live cd on it if it shuts down you've got a hardware issue | 22:03 |
| caffine | acidfrost: great idea. i'm starting to think it's hardware too. | 22:03 |
| grendal_prime | hey is there a way to get telepathy to force open the chat windo on new message? | 22:03 |
| caffine | acidfrost: seems kinda silly to go to all that work compromising a box just to shut it down randomly when you could be doing "useful" things with your zombie. | 22:04 |
| grendal_prime | i keep missing messages cause the indicator is so damn small..and temporary. | 22:04 |
| acidfrost | caffine, yeah but its annoying is it not ? | 22:04 |
| caffine | acidfrost: yes, it sure is. | 22:04 |
| acidfrost | caffine, most compromised boxes are just to toy with | 22:05 |
| caffine | acidfrost: okey dokey. well, i'll fire up the live CD to see what happens. thanks for your help! | 22:05 |
| acidfrost | caffine, if it doesn't shut down on the live disc its not hardware, which means that you could either attempt isolate the issue or you could just flat out reinstall and save your self some trouble | 22:06 |
| * HalfCentMan is feeling a bit like 'chopped liver'... | 22:06 | |

| wabism | how can i make it show up in the start menu on the left | 22:12 |
| wabism | or even in the applicatioons search | 22:12 |
| jutnux | You can't. | 22:12 |
| pangolin | acidfrost: that is why we should keep that channel clear of off topic so that people can ask questions. | 22:12 |
| jutnux | I don't think, anyway. | 22:12 |
| acidfrost | wabism, system->preferences->main menu | 22:12 |
| wabism | jutnux: you talking to me | 22:12 |
| acidfrost | pangolin, understood | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | wabism: make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications | 22:12 |
| pangolin | acidfrost: thank you :) | 22:13 |
| acidfrost | pangolin, hey gotta know who the ops are :p | 22:13 |
| xxiao | i need keep ms/us sync in between a few ubuntu boxes, what's the best way to do time sync between them? | 22:13 |
| acidfrost | pangolin, better rephrased: gotta respect the ops | 22:13 |
| xxiao | i.e all the ubuntu machine ideally have same timestamp | 22:14 |
| HalfCentMan | acidfrost: --- 443.7 | 22:14 |
| xxiao | is ntp the only solution? | 22:14 |
| wabism | ActionParsnip: i'm in usr/share/applications whats a .desktop file and what do i need to put in it | 22:14 |
| pangolin | acidfrost: Not a question of being an op. Anybody can help keep the channel running smoothly in fact we encourage it. | 22:14 |
| wabism | never mind, theres no applications folder, only the share | 22:14 |
| acidfrost | HalfCentMan, thats not too bad, though we need to move this convo to /msg | 22:15 |
| acidfrost | pangolin, i'm pretty sure i've seen you go op before | 22:15 |

| rebe | anyone else have a chromium bugg, so window have double menu when it's not maximized ? | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | wabism: one that runs your command, if you open one of the others up you will see the layout. | 22:17 |
| wabism | acidfrost: i dont see a system->pref->main menu in my gui | 22:17 |

| Jay45 | can anybody give me a hand, im having trouble installing packages on my new install | 22:18 |
| acidfrost | wabism, sounds like you are using linux mint or lubuntu/kubuntu | 22:18 |
| jasef | acidfrost: I could be wrong, but I think HalfCentMan wants to make his laptop into a sort of router for his other computer, not an sftp server | 22:18 |
| jutnux | Jay45: Whats the error message? | 22:18 |
| aBound | rebe, I use google chrome but I noticed chromium seems to be more of a testing ground for google chrome. | 22:18 |
| acidfrost | jasef, probably | 22:18 |
| Jay45 | i just moved to on campus housing and i think that the proxy with the uni network is blocking it | 22:18 |
| Jay45 | there is no error message | 22:18 |
| acidfrost | aBound, yeah chromium is behind chrome | 22:18 |
| wabism | just says ubuntu 11.04 | 22:18 |
| Jay45 | it just wont load | 22:19 |
| jutnux | aBound: chromium is the open source version of Chrome | 22:19 |
| jutnux | Jay45: Can you run this for me: ping 8.8.8.8 -c | 22:19 |
| jutnux | 3 | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | wabism: /usr/share/applications is the folder where the files live that make up the dash | 22:19 |
| acidfrost | wabism, do you know what desktop environment your running is ? | 22:19 |
| aBound | jutnux, I know but google chrome based their browser on chromium. | 22:19 |
| HalfCentMan | acidfrost: CORRECT... | 22:19 |
| acidfrost | aBound, other way around | 22:19 |
| jutnux | aBound: Other way round there mate. | 22:19 |
| wabism | ubuntu 11.04 codename natty | 22:19 |
| HalfCentMan | I want the other machine to SEE internet through the netbook.. | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: chromium is the open source chrome, occasionally they take a snapshot of chrom, add some proprietary stuff and call it chrome | 22:20 |
| dannel2 | aBound, the opposite is applicable. | 22:20 |
| aBound | Chromium is the open source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code | 22:20 |
| Pooky5 | Hi guys, Is it normal, when I have Radeon HD6570 graphic and Ubuntu use "VESA" driver for it? | 22:20 |

| aBound | :P | 22:20 |
| wabism | ActionParsnip: i understand that, but i dont have that folder /applications/ only /share/ | 22:20 |
| wabism | usr/share | 22:20 |
| aBound | Google chrome is based off of Chromium. | 22:20 |

| vak | hi all | 22:20 |
| Jay45 | does anyone have any advice? | 22:20 |
| acidfrost | Pseudoephedrine, depends on the script | 22:21 |
| dannel2 | Pseudoephedrine, append an ampersand | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: explains it well: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=380b7ffc5d845696&hl=en | 22:21 |
| wabism | acidfrost: is there a command to tell me? | 22:21 |
| gwelter | Jay45: do you need to configure the proxy to browse the web? | 22:21 |
| HalfCentMan | acidfrost: I basically want to link the two devices in the netbook (eth0 and wlan0) together as a passthru for the other machine. | 22:21 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, I know chromium is more bleeding edge whereas chrome is more of the stable version of chromium. :P | 22:21 |
| acidfrost | wabism, a better way to tell is do you have a windows esque menu bar | 22:21 |
| jutnux | Jay45: Paste the output of: ping 8.8.8.8 -c 3 | 22:22 |
| Pseudoephedrine | acidfrost: well what would be the main way, i know putting a & after the command works.. | 22:22 |
| dannel2 | Pseudoephedrine, or you may wish to use screen if you want to return to it later to interact. | 22:22 |
| Pseudoephedrine | acidfrost: but is there a better way? | 22:22 |
| vak | when my 4 cores are 100% loaded I get my CPU at 80°C and PC screams badly. How could one *automatically* lower the CPU frequency if temperature reaches some threshold? | 22:22 |
| Jay45 | yes i have connected to it | 22:22 |
| acidfrost | HalfCentMan, plug ether into slack and your net book then share the connection with network manager ;p | 22:22 |
| Pseudoephedrine | dannel2: nah i just want it to run like a normal process | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: yes, the bugs reported for chromium go to solve chrome issues, chromium feeds chrome and makes it what it is | 22:22 |
| Jay45 | and my proxy settings are working fine for firefox | 22:22 |
| aBound | vak, I'd figured by applying thermal paste right onto the CPU. | 22:22 |
| blizzow | The other day I rebooted my ubuntu box and the boot process shows up fine, but when X/lightdm are supposed to start, the screen goes completely black. I've tried ctrl+alt+f1, f2... nothing is bringing the screen to life. I am able to ssh into the box just fine. There seems to be an Xorg.0.failsafe log but nothing is standing out at me as a cause. Anyone here run into this problem before? | 22:22 |
| acidfrost | Pseudoephedrine, what kind of script is it ? | 22:22 |
| gwelter | HalfCentMan: setup a bridge between eth0 and wlan0? | 22:22 |
| Pseudoephedrine | acidfrost: python .py | 22:22 |
| acidfrost | gwelter, yeah thats what i suggested ;p | 22:23 |
| wabism | acidfrost: i found the main menu | 22:23 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, By the way thanks for that link I was looking for it either way. | 22:23 |
| Jay45 | and using ubuntu software centre i can find the software i want | 22:23 |
| HalfCentMan | acidfrost: it seems that the process to config network mgr is what is escaping me.. | 22:23 |
| Jay45 | but it just stays at 0 bytes | 22:23 |
| gwelter | acidfrost: ha, hadn't seen it :) | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Jay45: you will need to configure apt to use a proxy | 22:23 |
| acidfrost | Pseudoephedrine, no i know what language it is what does the script do ? | 22:23 |
| lytithwyn | exit | 22:23 |
| HalfCentMan | gwelter: Yes.. | 22:23 |
| Pooky5 | any idea?:( | 22:23 |
| lytithwyn | Hate it when I do that... ;) | 22:23 |
| lytithwyn | \quit | 22:23 |
| lytithwyn | grr. | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: I advise the daily build ppa of chromium, it has tasty extra features | 22:23 |
| Pseudoephedrine | acidfrost: it is supybot | 22:23 |
| Jay45 | Action parsnip: how do i do that? | 22:24 |
| acidfrost | Pseudoephedrine, you'd have to explain is it an irc bot / | 22:24 |
| acidfrost | s/\//? | 22:24 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, I'm more of a firefox man I use chrome as my secondary browser just in case firefox goes haywire. :-) | 22:24 |
| Pseudoephedrine | acidfrost: lol yea sorry, it is an IRC bot | 22:24 |
| aBound | I like the pin tab feature of firefox and the tab grouping in firefox. :P | 22:24 |
| Pseudoephedrine | acidfrost: and i want it to constantly keep running | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: I hate firefox, I use chroimum daily and arora | 22:24 |
| acidfrost | yeah then just background it with the & like the other user said(sorry can't remember atm) | 22:24 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, HA! I'll probably check out chromium's features. | 22:24 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, tor man ? | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: never used it | 22:25 |
| gwelter | Jay45: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Setting_up_apt-get_to_use_a_http-proxy | 22:25 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, It can be a pain in the butt having to learn new browsers. | 22:25 |
| vak | aBound: the huge sluwigbr on CPU gets also very hot, so it is not a hot-transmission problem. | 22:25 |
| HalfCentMan | Question rephrase... How do I set up a 'bridge' between the eth0 and wlan0 devices on my Natty NetBook ? (much shorter question.. Thank You!) | 22:25 |
| acidfrost | ActionParsnip, reason i asked is that the tor browser is based off of aurora | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: its not that different for regular browsing, what;s to learn? | 22:25 |
| aBound | vak, sluwigbr? | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | acidfrost: ahhh I see | 22:25 |
| acidfrost | HalfCentMan, give me a second i'll look it up ;p | 22:26 |
| gwelter | HalfCentMan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BridgingNetworkInterfaces | 22:26 |
| HalfCentMan | acidfrost: Thank You Sir... | 22:26 |
| Jay45 | so how would i go about configuring apt to my proxy settings? also i have to authenticate using my uni log in and password | 22:26 |
| aBound | vak, Is the CPU overheating and automatically shuting down by any chance. If so the heat sink could be clogged with dust. | 22:26 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Jay45 | and i dont have the slightest idea how to do it | 22:26 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, New keyboard shortcuts. lol | 22:27 |
| acidfrost | HalfCentMan, ahh i might have confused network manager with network connections manager | 22:27 |
| Pseudoephedrine | Ok, so how am i running a pythong script even when the terminal is closed exactly? | 22:27 |
| Pseudoephedrine | python* | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: alt and left and right do back and forward, F5 does refresh. What more do you need? | 22:27 |
| mang0 | My Unity dock has stopped disappearing automatically. How can I make it disappear when I put a window over it, or go fullscreen? | 22:28 |
| vak | aBound: what is sluwigbr? | 22:28 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, I tend to use ctrl-t (new tab), ctrl-w (close tab), F5 of course, ctrl-shift-e (tab grouping), buttons 1 thru 5 for media, home button and a few others. But that's just me. | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | mang0: what hide setting is defined in ccsm? | 22:28 |
| HalfCentMan | acidfrost: I'm pretty sure it's done with the 'connection manager', I just need to sort out the settings and get them set right... | 22:28 |

| vak | aBound: lol it was 'heatsink' in a wrong keyboard layout :) | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mang0: then install compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:30 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, 2 works too and some others. | 22:30 |

| cjalmeida | hi all. | 22:31 |

| === dan__ is now known as Guest92579 | ||
| cereal__ | hello | 22:32 |
| kristoffer | hey is it a easy way to install all packages cuz i allways get a error like this | 22:32 |
| cjalmeida | just upgraded from 11.04 into 11.10 and been having strange issues with ssh related stuff. | 22:32 |
| kristoffer | No package 'dbus-1' found | 22:32 |
| kristoffer | No package 'dbus-glib-1' found | 22:32 |
| kristoffer | and other liberyes | 22:32 |
| cjalmeida | nautilus can't connect to a remote ssh host. neither bazaar. | 22:32 |
| aBound | vak, Overtime the CPU chip needs new thermal paste applied to it and the heat sink needs to be cleaned from time to time. To prevent overheating. | 22:32 |
| vak | aBound: ok | 22:33 |
| aBound | vak, I can run a bunch of programs with my computer and at the same time my temps should stay at 40 degrees to 50 degrees and go nowhere near 80 to 90 degrees. | 22:33 |
| === newbie is now known as Guest92206 | ||
| kristoffer | a cmd i can use in terminal to reinstall all package, and add the package that got installed my defult? | 22:33 |

| cjalmeida | how can I debug nautilus ssh connection? | 22:33 |
| acidfrost | kristoffer, you probably have a borked install i'd recommend installing the latest 11.10 and then updating with update manager | 22:33 |
| cjalmeida | I guess it's related to openssl | 22:34 |
| aBound | vak, I'm just saying as I have an old laptop that was going near 80 to 90 degrees and you should check if it's the hardware that needs cleaning. | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Apachez: you have a 32bit file on 64bit OS | 22:34 |
| vak | aBound: it is only when my 4 core 100% loaded. | 22:34 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: It's set to "Dodge windows" | 22:34 |
| aBound | vak, I have a quad-core too. | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mang0: ok, set it to something else and test | 22:34 |
| aBound | vak, Possibly could be a program that has a memory leak. | 22:34 |
| kristoffer | acidfrost, NO i dont want 11.10 it sucks, it freeze and its problem 24/7, i want 10.04.3 lucid | 22:35 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: Nope, still no hiding. | 22:35 |
| vak | aBound: no :) | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | kristoffer: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename | 22:35 |

| mang0 | ActionParsnip: Also, the dash home launcher looks different - perhaps it's something to do with my theme? | 22:35 |
| acidfrost | kristoffer, then i'd reinstall 10.04 and update with update manager before you install any other packages | 22:35 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, I can't live without adblock plus/noscript and customizable themes. Including fasterfox... | 22:35 |

| loganrun | I have a program scanbuttond that I want to run as a particular user. I edited /etc/init.d/scanbuttond and changed the RUN_AS_USER flag to someUser, however, it still runs as user saned, I can't figure out why | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: they are in chrome, there are lots of themes (even a theme maker online) | 22:36 |
| Jay45 | how do i see the privat messages? | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: chrome does precaching of dns so goes fast :) | 22:36 |
| kristoffer | ActionParsnip, no new packages there | 22:36 |
| loganrun | if I try it manually it works fine: start-stop-daemon --start --chuid someUser --exec /usr/local/bin/scanbuttond -- -s /etc/scanbuttond/buttonpressed.sh -S /etc/scanbuttond/initscanner.sh | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | kristoffer: not sure about all packages reinstalling, use tab to complete package names | 22:37 |
| aguitel | i installed Geoforce FX 5500 ,what driver i need? | 22:37 |
| aBound | vak, Those are my two best guesses either heat sink is clogged with dust and the cpu chip needs new thermal paste preferably (arctic silver brand) or it's some memory leak/cpu issue with a program. Causing it to skyrocket. | 22:37 |
| acidfrost | loganrun, script it then ;p and add to startup programs | 22:37 |
| kristoffer | omg then i need to reinstall the hole shit again... bah iam starting to hate this distro only so mutch problems, i install one program and another one dont work | 22:37 |
| mosx1 | how can i ensure that i keep the same file permissions on the new files when issuing this command: sudo cp -r /foo/bar /newfoo ??? | 22:37 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: Nope, still nothing. To google, and beyond! | 22:38 |
| murfie | cp -ar | 22:38 |
| loganrun | acidfrost, that is the command that the script ultimately generates | 22:38 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, google chrome or chromium? Does chromium use the V8 javascript engine? | 22:38 |
| acidfrost | !language > kristoffer | 22:38 |
| ubottu | kristoffer, please see my private message | 22:38 |
| kristoffer | and its noo, repair system boot or make it back to defult again | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: I'll try find out. I can imagine it does | 22:38 |
| Jay45 | i dont know what port to make apt-get use | 22:38 |
| Jay45 | where would i find that? | 22:38 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, No problem. | 22:39 |
| gwelter | Jay45: usually a proxy listens on 8080 or 3128 | 22:39 |

| ActionParsnip | aBound: The JavaScript virtual machine used by Chrome, the V8 JavaScript engine, has features such as dynamic code generation, hidden class transitions, and precise garbage collection.[16]Tests by Google in September 2008 showed that V8 was about twice as fast as Firefox 3.0 and the WebKit nightlies. | 22:40 |
| aBound | vak, Indeed they don't but they can constantly consume memory and it won't be released back. Though it it's consuming a ton of memory it might increase CPU usage. | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: seems so | 22:40 |
| gwelter | jay45: just copy the settings from you browser | 22:40 |
| loganrun | acidfrost, as I was saying if I just run the command that I think the script generates manually it works fine and runs as the specified user | 22:40 |

| mang0 | that goddam bot is too clever for it's own good. | 22:41 |
| Jay45 | gwelter: i was going to but firefox auto detected, so when i went to look in the settings the fields were blank | 22:41 |
| loganrun | acidfrost, think I found out what is going on, the chuid $RUN_AS_USER variable is getting overwritten somehow | 22:41 |
| acidfrost | loganrun, i take it that you are using someuser to mask the users actual name right and that your aren't actually using someuser ? | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: remember the "chrome is based on chromium" bit from earlier.... | 22:42 |
| loganrun | acidfrost, ha, right | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: instead of just reading, read then think | 22:42 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, Indeed but V8 is a google technology not chromium's. | 22:42 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, Chromium 11 used WebKit 534.18 and V8 3.1.1 which resulted in improved speed in JavaScript and other benchmark tests | 22:43 |
| acidfrost | loganrun, ahh ok had to ask i've seen some people literally use someuser in scripts and wonder why they don't work lol ;p | 22:43 |
| aBound | Seems so. | 22:43 |
| gwelter | Jay45: wget http://wpad.<yourdomain>/wpdat.dat to see the settings unless the dhcp server specified another url for wpad (autoconfig) option | 22:43 |

| aBound | ActionParsnip, I think what happened is when Google developed their V8 engine somewhere late in 2010 Chromium decided to incorporate it into their browser. Seeing as on this page until 2011 it says they started to use the V8 javascript engine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28web_browser%29 | 22:59 |

| caffine | acidfrost: hardware issue. was taking it out to detach the hard drive so it didn't have to suffer through more power failures and noticed that the CPU fan was loose. one of the plastic clips on the mobo had snapped, so the heatsink/fan weren't touching the CPU anymore. the BIOS was probably killing the machine when the chip got too hot. that would make sense with the times that i saw it fail. | 23:02 |

| blahjohn | hello | 23:21 |
| jwp121 | Jay45: You probably need to check your sources.list file for errors. Hopefully someone else has a clean sources.list file. | 23:21 |
| blahjohn | Whatever I set in the System Settings is ignored. It used to work. Now it doesn't. any ideas? | 23:21 |
| jwp121 | Jay45: Did you try to add a repository or something? | 23:22 |
| Slasher` | i have a folder called -blah-- and cant cd into it via the command line, anyone have any idea how i'd go about this please? i've tried cd -- -blah-- to no avail, that gives cd error 74 and if i try cd ./-blah--/ that gives cd error 75, any ideas please | 23:22 |
| jwp121 | Slasher: Try cd ./"-blah--" maybe. | 23:23 |
| Jay45 | jwp121: i have no idea what either of those are so i dont think i changed them. and i wouldnt know how to check them | 23:23 |
| blahjohn | hello | 23:23 |
| blahjohn | can anyone hear me | 23:23 |
| blahjohn | wtf | 23:23 |
| Slasher` | jwp121; thanks for the reply, still says no though | 23:24 |
| Slasher` | cd: 78: can't cd to ./-Blah-- | 23:24 |
| d56 | blahjohn: hi.. guess you're not in the in crowd.. | 23:24 |
| blahjohn | d56: guess not | 23:24 |
| Slasher` | it wont even chmod | 23:24 |
| blahjohn | Did you see my question about the System Settings? I think I was being ignored by thechannel or something | 23:24 |
| Titomen | tobiasr33per | 23:25 |
| d56 | blahjohn: i do see the question.. could you rephrase it.. your trying to get in the system settings by click on the system setting icon? | 23:25 |
| yeats | Slasher`: how did you create this directory? | 23:26 |
| blahjohn | d56: I'm in the System Settings. I'm setting stuff. But it doesn't do anything. The changes don't take place. | 23:26 |
| blahjohn | And: it used to work. Suddenly, my settings were not working, even though they're still in the System Settings dialog. | 23:26 |
| yeats | Slasher`: "--" is used for "long options" by command line programs | 23:27 |
| Slasher` | it came with a download | 23:27 |
| d56 | bigjohn: try restarting the service of whatever you made changes to.. | 23:27 |
| d56 | bigjohn: in terminal.. | 23:27 |
| blahjohn | I restarted the whole machine | 23:27 |
| yeats | Slasher`: have you tried renaming it via Nautilus (the GUI)? | 23:27 |
| blahjohn | Which service would that be? | 23:27 |
| Slasher` | it's on ubuntu server unfortunately | 23:28 |
| d56 | blahjohn: what changes have you made? | 23:28 |
| blahjohn | Set Caps Lock to CTRL and Cursor blinking to "off" | 23:28 |
| glebihan | Slasher`, cd ./\-Blah\-\- | 23:28 |
| Slasher` | i'll give that a go thanks | 23:28 |
| blahjohn | Slasher: rm -- -blah-- | 23:28 |
| blahjohn | I just tried it with a -blah-- directory | 23:28 |
| glebihan | blahjohn, rm ??? | 23:29 |
| blahjohn | If you want to delete it | 23:29 |
| Slasher` | i just want to get into it lol | 23:30 |
| glebihan | blahjohn, he didn't say he wanted to delete it | 23:30 |
| blahjohn | ah CD, sry | 23:30 |
| blahjohn | misread the question | 23:30 |
| jwp121 | Jay45: Open terminal and try "mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup" | 23:30 |
| blahjohn | well, cd -- -blah-- works for me | 23:30 |
| Slasher` | it's an uppercase B if that changes anything | 23:31 |
| jwp121 | Jay45: The download the text from https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/sample/sources.list and put in in /etc/apt/sources.list" | 23:31 |
| blahjohn | Slasher: i can cd into -Blah with cd -- -Blah-- | 23:31 |
| glebihan | Slasher`, use blahjohn's command (the last one) | 23:31 |
| Slasher` | ooh i've got it renamed yay | 23:31 |
| jwp121 | Jay45: Then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and try again. | 23:31 |
| Slasher` | hmm still wont let me enter it | 23:32 |
| Slasher` | must be a dodgy folder | 23:32 |
| Slasher` | -rwxrwxrwx 1 caiapo func-aes 40 Jan 7 16:00 blah | 23:32 |
| blahjohn | any ideas on the system settings? | 23:32 |
| glebihan | Slasher`, it's not a folder... | 23:32 |
| Slasher` | hmm | 23:33 |
