LadyGorey | Lemme check | 00:00 |
fellayaboy | how do i completely remove all forms of logs on ubuntu | 00:00 |
fellayaboy | hwo do i stop my machine from keeping logs | 00:00 |
hydrox24 | fellayaboy: why is that an issue? | 00:01 |
LadyGorey | I don't use Ubuntu often so I'm not sure where to access it, give me a second | 00:01 |
hydrox24 | sure | 00:01 |
LadyGorey | I'm good with Windows and Mac but Ubuntu is kind of new to me | 00:01 |
hydrox24 | LadyGorey: that's fine | 00:01 |
mouseover | How can I pipe netcat's input from the command line itself? For example, netcat -q -1 localhost 5000 < "some text here" | 00:01 |
Titomen | OerHeks: i have 253 uodates which give me the same error...do i have to do this one by one? | 00:02 |
fellayaboy | can someone tell me how i can stop my pc from logging | 00:02 |
LadyGorey | hydrox, 11.10 | 00:03 |
hydrox24 | ok cool | 00:03 |
hydrox24 | try opening "gparted" | 00:03 |
LadyGorey | in Terminal? | 00:04 |
hydrox24 | LadyGorey: This isn't the most elegant solution but it will work. | 00:04 |
hydrox24 | LadyGorey: no, anyway you want | 00:04 |
hydrox24 | LadyGorey: should be under system applications | 00:04 |
LadyGorey | Oh, okay gimme asec | 00:04 |
fellayaboy | is there any simple way ..a switch on ubuntu to stop logging? | 00:05 |
LadyGorey | This is super confusing, sorry I as a dolt | 00:05 |
Titomen | OerHeks: look the error i am getting: http://pastebin.com/d3tWNT0W | 00:05 |
LadyGorey | I appear* | 00:05 |
hydrox24 | fellayaboy: no, logging is pretty integral to the system (ot most of it is), you'll have to turn off most logs manually | 00:06 |
fellayaboy | it takes up too much processing, hard drive space and resources..totally useless to a home pc who doesnt troubleshoot an inch | 00:06 |
zykotick9 | fellayaboy: not sure why you'd want to - but "sudo service rsyslog stop" would temporarily stop a lot of logs from being created. (not a good idea in my opinion) | 00:07 |
hydrox24 | LadyGorey: type gparted into the dashboard | 00:07 |
LadyGorey | Oh ok | 00:07 |
fellayaboy | thanks zykotick9 | 00:07 |
hydrox24 | fellayaboy: I suggest against doing that, normally logs are very effficient and usse little memory. | 00:07 |
LadyGorey | That did nothing | 00:07 |
hydrox24 | oh. | 00:07 |
hydrox24 | sorry, I am trying to find the simplest way to do this | 00:07 |
fellayaboy | yeah i truly dont care, its not the end of the world if i mess up the OS...ill just reinstall and deal with it | 00:08 |
hydrox24 | fellayaboy: go ahead then! | 00:08 |
bonhoffer | any idea how i can see how ubuntu starts mongodb on startup? | 00:08 |
pnorman | What program could I use to convert .wav files to MP3s on the command line? | 00:08 |
bonhoffer | i don't remember how i set it up | 00:08 |
ubluntu | pnorman: lame ? | 00:08 |
LadyGorey | It's okay. I tried to change the journaling setting through the Mac and I was afraid I was going to erase everything on the HD | 00:08 |
* benuphoenix hates splits | 00:08 | |
hydrox24 | LadyGorey: ok, so do you still need help? | 00:09 |
LadyGorey | Yes. | 00:09 |
benuphoenix | I have 3 drives: 2*320gb and 1*2tb. should i create: 2-volume 320GB RAID-1, 3-volume 320GB RAID-1 (using 320GB of the 2TB drive as well), or a 640GB-ish RAID-5 (using 320GB of the 2TB drive as well)? | 00:09 |
fellayaboy | what other ones i could tumble down..such as logging of usb devices, internet, firewall...i know what ur thinking..im trying to hack or something but no..im trying to do this to my own system | 00:09 |
hydrox24 | LadyGorey: can you open a private msg with me? (/msg hydrox24 blahblahablah) | 00:09 |
LadyGorey | Sure | 00:10 |
ubluntu | benuphoenix raid 0 or 1 | 00:10 |

mdel_ | i have byobu installed and its effed up | 00:11 |

fellayaboy | thank u | 00:11 |
hydrox24 | fellayaboy: good luck! | 00:12 |
fellayaboy | thanks | 00:12 |
ubluntu | lol. | 00:12 |
zykotick9 | fellayaboy: FYI that "service rsyslog stop" will be restarted on reboot, you'd need to disable it permanently using a different method | 00:13 |
fellayaboy | i put it on my startup application | 00:13 |
fellayaboy | idk if its effective | 00:13 |

Doodie | Myrtti, I get this on passwd myUserName -> "passwd: Only root can specify a user name." | 00:24 |

TheLifelessOne | is it possible to install ubuntu-server, and then install GNOME2, and have it act in such a way as it did before Unity/GNOME3? | 01:30 |
=== HQRaja is now known as Trololololol | ||
overclucker | erm | 01:33 |
xangua | !gnome2 | TheLifelessOne | 01:33 |
ubottu | TheLifelessOne: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 01:33 |
n2diy | TheLifelessOne, I'd like to know that answer too! | 01:34 |
TheLifelessOne | !notunity | 01:34 |
ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 01:34 |
TheLifelessOne | Bah, not the same. | 01:34 |
TheLifelessOne | !classic | 01:34 |
ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 01:34 |
TheLifelessOne | And Ubuntu Classic is terrible! | 01:34 |

TheLifelessOne | LABcrab: Jesus Christ, how the hell do you have a ~8GB file? | 01:41 |
lucho | #ubuntu.ar | 01:41 |
LABcrab | xangua: i don't know if my stick is FAT. Is that why it bugs out? | 01:41 |
lucho | /j #ubuntu-ar | 01:41 |
xangua | LABcrab: The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GB minus 1 byte or 4294967295 (232−1) bytes - wikipedia | 01:41 |
LABcrab | TheLifelessOne: tsk tsk, it's a VirtualBox image. :| | 01:41 |
TheLifelessOne | LABcrab: Ah, I see. Still, damn that's huge | 01:42 |
LABcrab | That's Vista. Lucky it fits under 10 GB, i think 64 bit takes twice as much. | 01:42 |
LABcrab | MS won't support XP anymore for IE, SDKs and other things. | 01:43 |
TheLifelessOne | Yeah, which sucks because a lot of people (such as myself) still run XP systems... | 01:43 |
LABcrab | i'd have preferred XP, but MS is quick to dismiss the OS. | 01:43 |
TheLifelessOne | Indeed. | 01:44 |
TheLifelessOne | I'd upgrade this box to seven if I had the extra cash + hardware lying around. | 01:44 |
LABcrab | But anyway, what does FAT have a problem with big files? | 01:44 |
LABcrab | *why | 01:44 |
TheLifelessOne | it's just the way it was designed. | 01:44 |
TheLifelessOne | I believe that's why the NTFS filesystems was designed. Well, part of the reason, at least. | 01:45 |
LABcrab | TheLifelessOne: specs not an issue, i have triple core, but it's just that XP is on its way out. Although i'll set it up on netbooks and "just word processing and Internet" machines. | 01:45 |
LABcrab | So format the USB using ext4? | 01:46 |
TheLifelessOne | That would probably work. | 01:46 |
TheLifelessOne | but then again, I'm not an expert of filesystems. | 01:46 |
LABcrab | Well, i'll give it a try. Now for a couple of more questions: 1. what is a good Digital TV tuner and 2. what channel talks about over the air TV? | 01:47 |

Gentoo64 | jonathon_: you can use \ too | 02:29 |
hydrox24 | jonathon_: both work well | 02:29 |
acerimmer | jonathon: cd 'this directory' | 02:29 |
hydrox24 | jonathon_: cd this\ directory | 02:29 |
hydrox24 | next Q? | 02:30 |
jonathon_ | Alright, And how do I remove A bulk of files that are in seperate directories, Like let's say I have ten PDF's spread across ten folders? | 02:30 |
hydrox24 | find -type f -name *.pdf -exec rm {} \; | 02:31 |
hydrox24 | that will: | 02:31 |
hydrox24 | find (files, not dirs | 02:31 |
hydrox24 | then look for anything ending with .pdf | 02:31 |
hydrox24 | and then use the rm command on all matching files | 02:31 |
jonathon_ | And will that command only remove files that are in the folder I am currently in? | 02:32 |
hydrox24 | it's recursive | 02:32 |
hydrox24 | so to see the results of the search without deleting: | 02:32 |
hydrox24 | find -type f -name *.pdf | 02:32 |
hydrox24 | will search for all pdf files in the current directory and in directories in the current dir and so on | 02:33 |
jonathon_ | Ok good, that worked, But then How do I make it delete all those? | 02:33 |
hydrox24 | find -type f -name *.pdf -exec rm {} \; | 02:33 |
hydrox24 | that will then execute the "rm" command on all the files that result from the search | 02:33 |
hydrox24 | be careful | 02:34 |
Darrow_ | Hello? Could someone please help me? Ubuntu won't boot, just show a colorful screen. | 02:34 |
hydrox24 | rm is permanent | 02:34 |
acerimmer | Darrow_: version? | 02:34 |
jonathon_ | Permanent is fine | 02:34 |
hydrox24 | ok | 02:34 |

jonathon_ | Ben64, Mine's the same :P | 03:00 |
nibbl0r | sure take ur time jonathon_ ^^ thanks for trying :) | 03:00 |
StepNjump | Ben64: change provider | 03:00 |
Ben64 | StepNjump: wifi, not internet | 03:01 |
StepNjump | oh | 03:01 |
StepNjump | Sometimes in the router, you can increase the transmit power.. that will speed it up | 03:01 |
Ben64 | nope | 03:01 |
Ben64 | its a problem with ubuntu | 03:01 |
Ben64 | i've been asking for weeks with no answer | 03:02 |
StepNjump | Is autoremove the right command to uninstall an app or should have I done remove only? | 03:02 |
jonathon_ | Perhaps you need a different wireless driver | 03:02 |
Ben64 | StepNjump: remove | 03:02 |
Darrow_ | acerimmer: 62FB5D750C30A27A26D01C5F3D8DF459 | 03:02 |
StepNjump | what is autoremove Ben64 | 03:02 |
acerimmer | Darrow_: check that against Ubuntu's info. | 03:02 |
Ben64 | StepNjump: it says in apt-get man page | 03:02 |

Ben64 | StepNjump: no prob | 03:03 |
acerimmer | Darrow_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/MD5SUMS | 03:03 |
StepNjump | Ben64: just food for thought, try to bring your laptop close to your router and see if this will fix your slow speed issue | 03:04 |
maXXer | anyone got a chicony webcam? i need some drivers :| | 03:04 |
jonathon_ | nibbl0r, Bout 2 minutes left of download | 03:04 |
nibbl0r | yay :D | 03:04 |
Ben64 | StepNjump: it used to do 1MB/s till I upgraded ubuntu, its within 20' of the router | 03:04 |
acerimmer | Darrow_: you said you've got an Intel box but the check sum is for the AMD64 iso??? | 03:05 |
StepNjump | mmm from what version to what version Ben64 | 03:05 |
Darrow_ | acerimmer: match | 03:05 |
Ben64 | 10.04 to latest | 03:05 |
acerimmer | Darrow_: but your computer is Intel??? | 03:05 |
StepNjump | Ben64: .... I keep being told its not good to upgrade.. it's not up to par.. I dont know if that is your issue but | 03:05 |
dritchie | is there a console based ubuntu distro? One with cli by default? | 03:06 |
StepNjump | Have you tried a download from the TTY Ben64 | 03:06 |
acerimmer | dritchie: ubuntu server | 03:06 |
Ben64 | StepNjump: yeah nothing goes over 150K | 03:06 |
StepNjump | mmm weird.. Well, nothing is weird when we upgrade I guess... | 03:06 |
Ben64 | in iwconfig I get this though..... | 03:06 |
Ben64 | Tx excessive retries:10 Invalid misc:121949 Missed beacon:0 | 03:06 |
Ben64 | "Invalid misc" seems bad? | 03:06 |
StepNjump | My suggestion is, try to run your Ubuntu 11.10 off a live USB and see what happens | 03:07 |
dritchie | is it a LTR? or rolling release like Arch? | 03:07 |
StepNjump | if it dowloads fast, then you know you have corruption somewhat in your distro Ben64 | 03:07 |
acerimmer | dritchie: 10.04 is LTS 36 months. 12.04 will be 60 months LTS | 03:07 |
StepNjump | you might be using the wrong driver Ben64 | 03:07 |
dritchie | thanks ace | 03:08 |

acerimmer | Darrow_: shouldn't matter but format/reinstall to be safe... | 03:28 |
gluegun | jonathan_: RAID is taken care of. i'm using hardware raid (24drives, 2TB each on RAID6). i'm just confused how to manage them. the computer RAID bios presents me with 1 giant 40Tb unformatted disk. i'm thinking if i'll partition it in many physical volume or 1 physical volume. | 03:28 |

oscar76 | moes: you're welcome:) | 03:30 |
jonathon_ | gluegun, I guess you should read up also on the filesystem you'll be using, Make sure it does support that much storage, If so, Then it's just whatever you decide then | 03:30 |
gluegun | jonathon_: one thing i'm considering is if i arrive with a single 40Tb XFS or ext4 filesystem is running out of inodes. :( | 03:31 |
jonathon_ | true, gluegun, Perhaps you should make it partitioned just in case. Possibly to 5 terra's each | 03:32 |
jonathon_ | But then again, Is the company gonna be storing millions of little files or just a bundle of huge files? | 03:33 |
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||

Joakal | Running Ubuntu64 on Virtual box btw | 03:34 |
gluegun | jonathon_: initially, i'm thinking of partitioning that 40TB unformatted drive presented by arrays into 40 partitions of 1tb each and make each partition a physical volume. then i'll create 4 volume groups with 10 physical volumes each and create 1 10tb logical volume per 4 volume group. | 03:35 |
Darrow_ | acerimmer: http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/8441/imag0496u.jpg this is what my boot screen looks like | 03:36 |
gluegun | jonathon_: but i'm not confident because i don't know LVM much. i may be overlooking something that i may regret in the end. so now i'm thinking of creating 1 40tb partition and make it a physical volume, create 1 volume group for that and create many logical volumes. | 03:37 |
jonathon_ | gluegun, Sounds like a good way to go | 03:37 |
jonathon_ | oh | 03:37 |
gluegun | jonathon_: and now i'm confused which way to go. ha,ha.. sorry man. | 03:37 |
hydrox24 | I used physical until I ran out and then I used logicals. | 03:38 |
hydrox24 | gluegun: there's isnt much diff | 03:38 |
acerimmer | Darrow_: did you try the nomodeset during boot of the live iso? | 03:39 |
jonathon_ | gluegun, It shouldn't really be too confusing to do the first option, Just makesure you double check the man to make sure you know how it goes, and you should be fine | 03:39 |
gluegun | hydrox24: maybe you're talking about primary vs logical partitions? i believe there's a big difference between physical volume vs logical volume. :) | 03:39 |
Yozap | Hey I have an Asus EEE 1005 PC, with Ubuntu 10.04 64bits (amd) and I tried Xbacklight, to fix my brightness on the screen, but it wont work, and updating bios wont work. Any idea how to fix it? | 03:39 |
gluegun | jonathon_: hmn... that's interesting. thanks man. | 03:39 |
jonathon_ | gluegun, No problem | 03:40 |
datruth_ | How can I get rid of the Mac like theme in gnome I just installed gnome-shell andx selected gnome for the login interface | 03:40 |
gluegun | hydrox24, btw, primary vs logical partition is (i believe) an issue only on msdos partition table. if you're using GPT, you can have many primary partitions as you like. yes more than 4. :) | 03:41 |
jonathon_ | datruth, Use KDE :P, Otherwise, Not my department lol | 03:41 |
hydrox24 | yeh, I do dual-boot | 03:41 |

glioros | guys i need to grep eoeooe.php what is the command to do so ? | 03:45 |
jonathon_ | datruth, It's diffcult since gnome has alot of stuff with it, So You might want to just leave it | 03:45 |
jonathon_ | datruth, Besides, It doesn't take up that much space anyways | 03:46 |
almoxarife | datruth_: its simple enough, ask in #kubuntu | 03:46 |
datruth_ | jonathon_: how much space does it normally take up? | 03:46 |
datruth_ | ahh gotxha | 03:46 |
datruth_ | thx | 03:46 |

nibbl0r | hey jonathon_ , sorry to annoy you again... I just completely removed ubuntu and reinstalled it... after install was done, first thing i did was "apt-get install convirt" everything went fine... but on a convirt-ctl start it gives the same error :\ | 03:53 |
acerimmer | Darrow_: Ok, I guess the boot options are limited when working from a USB live session? Can you boot a live CDROM? | 03:53 |
gluegun | jonathon_: i mean, i hope there's a degree program aimed at it. sort of like "bachelor of science in computer systems administration" ha,ha.. | 03:53 |
Lalaith_ | dl'ing it from a trusted website and just want to open it and see if it's the one i think it is | 03:54 |

jonathon_ | lalaith, search synaptic for Ubuntu Restricted Extras | 03:54 |
jonathon_ | nibbl0r, That is an odd one | 03:54 |
nibbl0r | convirt-ctl start works for you ? | 03:55 |

glioros | everywhere in my httpdocs folder | 03:56 |

gluegun | glioros, generally, if you want to find files, you use "find" or "search" in nautilus. if you want to find a word or pattern in a file, you use grep. | 03:57 |
glioros | gluegun: i entered that command and find: `/httpdocs': No such file or directory | 03:57 |

glioros | gluegun: yes i need to use grep. please tell me the command to use grep | 03:58 |
sammy | so lets say someone has a repository set up for their app. and all the directories are in the right place, except there's no master directory called 'dists'. can I get apt to look in an absolute path rather than taking the path in my sources.list deb line and adding 'dists' do the end? | 03:58 |
nibbl0r | yeah jonathon_ totally the same one then | 03:58 |
nibbl0r | so not an issue with me i see ^^ | 03:58 |
gluegun | glioros, is httpdocs a file or a directory? | 03:59 |
jonathon_ | nibbl0r, Lemme check out that log and see what is up, brb | 03:59 |
glioros | gluegun: directory | 03:59 |
nibbl0r | its checking for a file "develeopment.ini" in a completely wrong folder i think | 03:59 |
gluegun | glioros, and the fofofoof.php are files inside that directory? | 04:00 |
glioros | gluegun: it is a file i need to see to exist. i need to grep even all the php files to see if it is listed in | 04:00 |
glioros | if it is exist | 04:00 |
jonathon_ | nibbl0r, It may not be the wrong folder, You might have to run some kind of configuration for convirt first, lemme poke around a bit, see what I find | 04:00 |
nibbl0r | yeah the setup should be run like convirt-tool setup i believe but that gives out other errors ^^ | 04:02 |
gluegun | glioros, find /httpdocs -name 'fofofoof.php' may work. | 04:02 |

vite | hi youall, I am experimenting with low memory systems. the minimal iso was not recognized by startdisk creator or universal usb creator | 04:10 |
jonathon_ | nibbl0r, Oh joy, I found a big wiki page about setting up convirt, give this a read through, it might have the fix you need http://www.convirture.com/wiki/index.php?title=Convirt2_Installation | 04:12 |
vite | so I was wondering if I install the server and only put starx and fluxbox as window manager will it take up a lot of ram | 04:12 |
borillion | jonathon_ http://static.inky.ws/image/1129/image.jpg and http://static.inky.ws/image/1130/image.jpg | 04:12 |
borillion | whats gdl_box? | 04:12 |
vite | i chose the manually install your packages option on the installer | 04:12 |
nibbl0r | thanks jonathon_ will try that | 04:12 |
Micah | I did run the sudo update-grub and it found several linux images and also "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda2" and "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda3" | 04:13 |
somsip | vite: use the minimal cd install, not the server edition | 04:13 |
jonathon_ | Micah, Ok good, Now restart and you should be able to get into windows | 04:13 |
jonathon_ | If not, Come back and we'll try again | 04:13 |
vite | darnet, now ill have to start over... | 04:13 |
jonathon_ | borillion, I'm not sure, You can try killing it, worst outcome is you'll have to restart | 04:14 |
somsip | vite: well, you can carry on with what you're doing, but the minimal cd install is the tool for the job | 04:14 |
vite | well, i am chatting with you with the experiment | 04:14 |
nibbl0r | jonathon_: the step by step procedure http://www.convirture.com/wiki/index.php?title=C2_ubuntu_installation already fails on installing_dependencies because of libxen3 and python-xen-3.3 | 04:16 |
Micah | when I go to turn on my computer, the grub comes up and there are 2 windows options. "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" and "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)". Neither work. | 04:16 |
vite | I mean the computer did run the regular desktop edition but it was a bit sloppy on the transitions. So I did the server ed install, chose auto updates but not software. it be sad to start over | 04:16 |
jonathon_ | Micah, What happens when you select them? | 04:16 |
jonathon_ | nibbl0r, Try using synaptic to install those packages? | 04:17 |
vite | and server editioin allows for encryption | 04:17 |
Micah | when I select the option that ends with 2, I get a windows error Recovery screen. It says windows failed to start and that I should launch startup repair. | 04:18 |

jonathon_ | irssi is beast for IRC :D | 04:59 |
epod | reganizer: no, you're using... something I've never heard of, according to your /ctcp version | 04:59 |
jonathon_ | I like it because it's CLI only, so ye :P | 04:59 |
reganizer | so are we just advertising oiur clients?� | 04:59 |

epod | reganizer: ahh. well, your xchat may be out of date or something, I dunno. I'm on xchat2 and I see the gibberish they post, but it doesnt do anything. If it's affecting you, just apt-get a new client. | 05:00 |

epod | pangolin: well, suggesting someone switch up their irc client to a non-exploitable version so they can not get knocked offline does qualify somewhat as 'ubuntu support' ;) | 05:01 |

tremby | i've been having seriously reduced graphics performance on Intel mobile 4 series (laptop) since kernel 2.6.38. 2.6.35-32 works fine, and i've also tried 3.0.0-14, which still suffers the problem. symptoms: glxgears gives an extremely low frame rate, games agree. anything i can try? | 05:20 |
Earthcore | it wasnt even the robin hood style thing | 05:20 |
Earthcore | tremby: kernel regression I guess | 05:21 |
Earthcore | tremby: noob answer sorry | 05:22 |
tremby | Earthcore: i just found an article saying there was supposed to be a massive performance fix in 2.6.38. i wonder why i'm seeing the opposite. | 05:22 |
hydrox24 | wireless: have you tried the system settings method of changing the WM? | 05:23 |
wireless | hydrox24no I havent...do you know how I'd do that | 05:23 |
Earthcore | tremby: I really dont know and was just guessing because you said it worked so why upgrading to a regression? | 05:23 |
hydrox24 | go into system settings app | 05:23 |
hydrox24 | or the "control center" | 05:24 |
hydrox24 | if you are able | 05:24 |
tremby | Earthcore: i guess what i'm asking is whether anyone knew of this regression. i'll google further for bug reports | 05:24 |
hydrox24 | wireless: | 05:25 |
hydrox24 | wireless: you there | 05:26 |
hydrox24 | wireless: you there??? | 05:26 |

Pseudoephedrine | I booted Ubuntu from USB about a month ago, since then i have bought a new computer.. I still have the Ubuntu OS saved on the USB and i am just wondering if i would be able to still use it to boot with, or would i have to redownload it and burn it to USB all over again? | 05:29 |
wireless | thanks | 05:29 |
hydrox24 | Pseudoephedrine: only if you wanted the newest version | 05:29 |
wireless | it worked | 05:29 |

hydrox24 | wireless: can you change the WM? | 05:30 |
Pseudoephedrine | hydrox24 so the USB should to be able to boot then? | 05:30 |
hydrox24 | Pseudoephedrine: yes, most definetely | 05:30 |
wireless | hydrox24: i'm looking...where do I go to do that? | 05:30 |
Earthcore | tremby: dunno, sorry I am just an ?unaccomblished(i cant remember the word)? nerd | 05:30 |

wireless | hydrox24: no login screen...even when I search | 05:31 |
hydrox24 | is gdm installed? | 05:31 |
hydrox24 | BRB | 05:31 |
wireless | I thought so | 05:31 |
hydrox24 | Back | 05:32 |
Earthcore | I just need a GUI for searching web pages/domains not google that thing is useless. | 05:32 |
hydrox24 | how is google useless? | 05:33 |
hydrox24 | Earthcore: DuckDuckGo works well | 05:33 |
hydrox24 | Earthcore: http://blekko.com/ | 05:33 |
hydrox24 | wireless: what is it? | 05:33 |
Pseudoephedrine | hydrox24 to boot, do i just need to stick the USB in and restart? Or will i need to select the USB at startup in BIOS or boot menu? | 05:35 |
hydrox24 | yes, the latter | 05:35 |
Earthcore | hydrox24: I am not searching for a new searchpage | 05:35 |
Pseudoephedrine | hydrox24 was that to me? | 05:35 |
hydrox24 | Pseudoephedrine: yes, soz | 05:35 |
Earthcore | hydrox24: I want to search from my local machine | 05:36 |
Pseudoephedrine | hydrox24 not a prob.. so i select the USB correct? just want to double check ;p | 05:36 |
hydrox24 | that's OK | 05:36 |
Earthcore | hydrox24: and I want to download internet pages | 05:37 |
hydrox24 | Earthcore: wget? | 05:37 |
Earthcore | hydrox24: but the firefox search does not work | 05:37 |
Earthcore | hydrox24: no CLI | 05:38 |
Earthcore | hydrox24: GUI only | 05:38 |
hydrox24 | fine | 05:38 |
tremby | gwget? | 05:38 |
hydrox24 | wireless: are you there? | 05:40 |
Earthcore | tremby: maybe tnx | 05:40 |
tremby | i wasn't reading the whole problem, but don't be scared of the command line | 05:41 |
hydrox24 | wget is as easy as: | 05:41 |
hydrox24 | wget www.google.com | 05:42 |
hydrox24 | and it will download a local copy to the current dir | 05:42 |
fritz | join #conky | 05:42 |
hydrox24 | fritz: ok | 05:43 |
Earthcore | hydrox24: wget is not that easy | 05:45 |
tremby | Earthcore: what are you trying to do? | 05:46 |
Earthcore | hydrox24: it is not a web page downloader | 05:46 |
tremby | it sure is that easy if you just want to save the file to your disk | 05:46 |
tremby | yes it is | 05:46 |
tremby | if you want all the images etc too, wget -p google.com | 05:46 |
hydrox24 | Earthcore: it really is that easy... | 05:46 |
Earthcore | tremby: I am trying to fix iptables and need to search for --dport in its documentation | 05:47 |
hydrox24 | then use google | 05:47 |
tremby | Earthcore: why do you need to download web pages for that? man iptables, then /--dport, then n until you find what you need. or, as hydrox24 says, google for the manpage and use your browser's search | 05:48 |
Earthcore | hydrox24: http://paste.ubuntu.com/808223/ | 05:48 |
hydrox24 | can you give me a link to the docs? | 05:48 |
fritz | exit | 05:48 |

IcemanV9 | pambos, not in putty. in the command terminal is where you enter the command | 06:31 |
pambos | icemanv9: ok in the command terminal the command is not recognised | 06:31 |
IcemanV9 | pambos, are you sure? i have used it many times daily at work. :-) | 06:32 |
IcemanV9 | perhaps the path was not set correctly for pscp | 06:33 |
IcemanV9 | pambos, go to the putty directory (i'm on ubuntu right now) somewhere in Program Files directory, then enter command (pscp) | 06:34 |

IcemanV9 | it brings up the windows terminal (not putty) | 06:40 |

kroonrs | codepython777: sorry, can't see any issues in that pastebin - perhaps it was the page allocation issue, but perhaps it was also a bug in Xen | 06:48 |
IcemanV9 | ran out of swap memory as it seems? | 06:48 |
kroonrs | codepython777: were you (or someone else) doing anything on the machine when it crashed? | 06:48 |
codepython777 | IcemanV9: that might be the case. I dont think i've swap | 06:48 |

IcemanV9 | well, it ran out of memory when Xen tried to start, then it's shutdown (automatically)? | 06:49 |
kroonrs | Passing on to IcemanV9 , gottago | 06:49 |
cvam | after upgrading to oneiric from natty on the restart on display setting it says "samsung 19'" but after the second login it is "unknown" and all fonts and icons look wider. | 06:49 |
codepython777 | why did xen try to start? | 06:49 |
codepython777 | dpkg -l | grep xen -- null on my machine | 06:49 |
IcemanV9 | apparently, someone or cronjob try to start Xen? | 06:49 |
IcemanV9 | i'm not familiar with Xen though. so i don't know where to troubleshoot Xen | 06:50 |
codepython777 | IcemanV9: but shouldn't it be installed on my machine to cause a problem? | 06:51 |
codepython777 | ah its the xen ethernet driver ? that i do have | 06:51 |
IcemanV9 | something in the kernel have module related to Xen. again, i am not sure. | 06:52 |
IcemanV9 | it is possible kernel have Xen ethernet driver module built-in | 06:52 |
codepython777 | yes i think so | 06:52 |
zefyx | hydroxy no | 06:53 |
codepython777 | is there a nice gui tool that emails me when one of my machines is down? | 06:54 |
IcemanV9 | codepython777, since your box is rebooted, it should be okay (enough memory). you might want to tailing the message if you want to see if something's trying to start Xen | 06:55 |
orlok | codepython777: most are not gui as they run on servers somewhere | 06:55 |
codepython777 | keeps the logs in one place for post-mortem etc. | 06:55 |
codepython777 | orlok: any recommendations? | 06:55 |
codepython777 | easy to use please. | 06:55 |
IcemanV9 | codepython777, you'll have to create a script and put in the cronjob | 06:55 |
codepython777 | I can. I was hoping someone has made it easy by now. | 06:56 |
orlok | codepython777: oh, for Xen specifically? Not sure.. i would use a simple shell script, but theres things like nagios, etc | 06:56 |
zefyx | I'll try, thanks | 06:56 |
orlok | codepython777: a GUI tool, so it requires X to be running? | 06:56 |
codepython777 | something lightweight than nagios | 06:56 |
IcemanV9 | nagios is not simple application to use | 06:56 |
codepython777 | i've x running | 06:56 |
codepython777 | i cud live with commandline | 06:57 |
orlok | codepython777: But will you if theres an issue that causes your Xen instances to fail? | 06:57 |
codepython777 | orlok: Its not my xen...I got a VPS rented from someone who runs xen...I just need to monitor my VM | 06:57 |
orlok | codepython777: you would need X to start up and start this application automatically.. | 06:57 |

gh0strider | is it true that is not possible to use gnome 2 on ubuntu 11.10 you have to downgrade to 11.04 ? | 07:04 |

Yerushalmi | Since I'm somebody who's only ever installed things automatically using Ubuntu Software Center, can somebody how to install zsnes, which no longer appears there and which I was only able to obtain from their website as a .tar.bz2 file? | 07:47 |
coolstar-ipod | llutz_: I was trying to search for a package. Much faster to use the bots than apt-cache | 07:48 |
gh0strider | well it is possible to have gnome 3 look like gnome 2 | 07:48 |
llutz_ | not very successful as you may have seen | 07:48 |
gh0strider | but it is still not the same... | 07:49 |
gh0strider | which means that i am going to have to reinstal... | 07:49 |
gh0strider | damnit i am so pissed...heh | 07:49 |
coolstar-ipod | gh0strider: Have you looked at mate? | 07:49 |
gh0strider | mate? | 07:49 |
coolstar-ipod | Thats the name | 07:49 |
xZyoh | llutz_: Do you have any idea on what I can do? | 07:49 |
coolstar-ipod | It's a fork of gnome2 | 07:50 |
llutz_ | xZyoh: nope, i'm not very versed with webservers. you may ask in #httpd or #apache | 07:50 |
gh0strider | thanks for the tip i just wanted others to know that it is possible to tweak gnome3 with "gnome-session-fallback" to make it look like gnome2 | 07:50 |
gh0strider | but it isn't the same | 07:50 |
gh0strider | if you don't like gnome3 do not upgrade to 11.10 | 07:50 |
gh0strider | which i didn't know that it would... | 07:51 |
gh0strider | now i have a lot of work ahead of me to get things right again... | 07:51 |
gh0strider | i will see you all much later | 07:51 |
xZyoh | wth, I am banned from #apache o.O | 07:52 |
coolstar-ipod | Yerushalmi: depends on what's in the bz2 | 07:52 |

llutz_ | Yerushalmi: theres a README or INSTALL file inside those tarballs normally. you should check it | 07:55 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: *finds several such files, reads* Well hell this looks complicated. I'll try to follow the instructions and let you know if I get stuck. Thanks :) | 07:58 |
coolstar-ipod | Yerushalmi: is there a configure file in there? | 07:58 |
AlecTaylor | Ubuntu suffers from the Y2K bug. I mean, what version will they have in a 100 years? *trolololololololololo* | 07:59 |
coolstar-ipod | Yerushalmi: or a makefile? | 07:59 |
Slart | AlecTaylor: 111.04 and 111.10 .. or that didn't work for you? | 08:00 |
Slart | =) | 08:00 |
Yerushalmi | coolstar-ipod: All of the above. Readmes, installs, makefiles, configures, even several of each. o_O | 08:00 |
xZyph | No one wants to help in #httpd -_- | 08:00 |
coolstar-ipod | Yerushalmi: you probably got source code | 08:01 |
AlecTaylor | Slart: But then we'd be running 011.10 now :P | 08:01 |
pdfman | wireless adaptor fails to switch on??? | 08:01 |
Yerushalmi | coolstar-ipod: I do indeed have the source code. It was the only thing available :( | 08:02 |
Slart | AlecTaylor: =) version number don't really obey standard math rules | 08:02 |
llutz_ | !compile | Yerushalmi read the readme, read this | 08:02 |
ubottu | Yerushalmi read the readme, read this: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 08:02 |
llutz_ | !checkinstall | Yerushalmi and read this :) | 08:02 |
ubottu | Yerushalmi and read this :): checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 08:02 |
AlecTaylor | alien! | 08:03 |

llutz_ | AlecTaylor: 128 or 256bit? | 08:04 |
AlecTaylor | 256bit | 08:04 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: The irritating thing is that zsnes /used/ to be installable through the package list. It's in fact still listed, but when you try and open the details it says it doesn't appear on the list. | 08:04 |
AlecTaylor | coolstar-ipod: This is very important Ubuntu discussion. Don't you care about the version of Ubuntu your grandchildren will use? :P | 08:04 |

AlecTaylor | hi | 08:07 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: Wow, it worked! Thanks! | 08:08 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: But this is weird. I noticed it uninstalled several things along the way. Like vlc. Why'd it do that? | 08:10 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: it depends on stuff conflicting with vlc etc. | 08:11 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: ...Well, /that's/ not good. | 08:11 |
r4y | I can't click advanced search with Firefox because I made Ubuntu have black background and white text with a blue bar and made Firefox set to system colors. I have had this sort of problem with other little things using Firefox, but it never really messed up much so I didn't mind. | 08:12 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: apt-get should have told you _what_ the conflicting packages are | 08:13 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: It might've and I didn't notice? I'm used to only using Ubuntu Software Center, I'm afraid. | 08:13 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: well, cli has some advantages, imho | 08:14 |

Yerushalmi | llutz_: Ah. Do you have a suggestion for a video player to replace vlc, if I can't install it with zsnes? | 08:15 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: no | 08:16 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: sudo apt-get install vlc -s watch the output, it should tell you why it would remove zsnes (if it would) | 08:16 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: -s = simulate, so no worries | 08:17 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: *nods* I'll try that. | 08:17 |
coolstar-ipod | Add a -v to that | 08:17 |
Yerushalmi | -v? | 08:17 |
coolstar-ipod | It will make it verbose | 08:17 |
coolstar-ipod | Give full detail | 08:18 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_, coolstar-ipod : Didn't really say anything about removing anything. | 08:18 |
Yerushalmi | Although in Ubuntu Software Center it said I would need to uninstall zsnes, libsdl1.2debian, and libsdl1.2debian-alsa. | 08:19 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: so" sudo apt-get install vlc" and be happy | 08:19 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: softwarecenter might install recommends too, which _might_ cause that. i really don't know, i never used that | 08:20 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: LOL. I was going to say that I'll have to just consider it carefully and decide which one I prefer having on my computer. It uninstalled some other things as well, like a game called anagramarama that I like. I'll think on it. | 08:20 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: Thanks for all the help! | 08:20 |
Laibeus_Lord | hi, 'have a problem currently: i can not browse the net on my desktop. Things that are working: [1] I can connect to my XMPP account; [2] I can connect to my modem/router admin cp; [3] connection is working (which I'm using right now with my netbook). However, browsing, chatting, synaptic, etc. is dead. ifconfig shows my connection is fine, however pinging anything returns "unknown host". Add to that, if I try chromium's change proxy it returns "...or t | 08:21 |
Laibeus_Lord | here was a problem launching your system configuration." I'm out of ideas. | 08:21 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: ping 8.8.8.8 | 08:22 |
afidegnum | hello good mroning all, pls I have been following the procedures but got stuch along the way. I need ur help.... I have Ubuntu with Vbox installed.... I have installed Debian inside teh new vbox how do I install the vbox guest additions? | 08:22 |
WaltherF1 | llutz_: which is that? | 08:23 |
Laibeus_Lord | llutz_, it works | 08:23 |
llutz_ | WaltherF1: google dns | 08:23 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: check your dns (/etc/resolv.conf) | 08:23 |
WaltherF1 | ah | 08:23 |
WaltherF1 | llutz_: also, heh, http://tekcert.com/blog/2011/04/16/why-4222-will-always-beat-8888 | 08:24 |
Laibeus_Lord | llutz_, set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4; but if i ping say www.google.com, returns unknown host | 08:25 |
llutz_ | WaltherF1: nice | 08:25 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: dig @8.8.8.8 www.ubuntu.com | 08:26 |
Laibeus_Lord | llutz_, returned fine with results like the Answer section: www.ubuntu.com. 533 IN A 91.189.90.40 (or should I post the whole results?) | 08:31 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: thats odd, since its the same nameserver you should use by default... | 08:31 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: dig +short www.ubuntu.com fails? | 08:32 |
Laibeus_Lord | llutz_, nope it returns 91.189.90.40 | 08:33 |
llutz_ | even more strange... | 08:33 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: could you please pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf file | 08:34 |
Laibeus_Lord | okie | 08:34 |
Laibeus_Lord | http://pastebin.ca/2103736 | 08:36 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: ok - so if you now do "nslookup wwww.google.com" what do you get ? | 08:37 |
eitch | hi guys. I've got a weird problem. All files I delete can not be moved to trash. The files are on a local file system... I don't know what the reason is. Anyone have an idea? | 08:37 |
ikonia | eitch: permissions on the tash directory / | 08:38 |
ikonia | ? | 08:38 |
Laibeus_Lord | ikonia: I get Server: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53; non-authoritative answer: then a list of IPs for www.l.google.com | 08:39 |
jasef | Laibeus_Lord: Try typing wget www.google.com | 08:39 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: ok so when you ping www.google.com what happens | 08:39 |
eitch | ikonia, which directory would that be? in my home? | 08:39 |
ikonia | I think the issue maybe your nsswitch.conf as libresolv is clearly responding | 08:39 |
ikonia | !trash | eitch | 08:40 |
ubottu | eitch: Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. | 08:40 |
ikonia | eitch: I'm assuming you are using a gui to remove the files | 08:40 |
Laibeus_Lord | jasef: resolving www.google.com... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address 'www.google.com' | 08:40 |
Laibeus_Lord | ikonia: unknown host | 08:40 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: ok, please pastebin /etc/nsswitch.conf | 08:41 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf | 08:41 |
jasef | Laibeus_Lord: So basically, lookup tools such as nslookup and dig work, but nothing else seems to be able to look anything up... | 08:41 |
eitch | ikonia, the folder didn't exist, I now created it, but still it won't work. Logout required? | 08:41 |
ikonia | eitch: what version of ubuntu is this ? | 08:41 |
eitch | ikonia, yeah, i'm in normal ubuntu oneiric using nautilus to delete the files | 08:42 |
coolstar-ipod | eitch: open nautilus as root | 08:42 |
ikonia | eitch: not sure if anything has changed in 11.04 onwards, trying to find out | 08:42 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: why ? | 08:42 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: why should he open nautilus as root ? | 08:42 |
coolstar-ipod | So it can delete | 08:42 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: it can delete as a normal user | 08:42 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: the problem is the files are not going to the trash directory | 08:43 |
coolstar-ipod | ikonia: can't he just rm it? | 08:43 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: if you cannot understand simple questions, don't respond | 08:43 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: he CAN delete files, he wants them to go to the trash directory as they should | 08:43 |
Laibeus_Lord | ikonia, llutz_, http://pastebin.ca/2103738 (I skipped the lines with # [have to type manually]) | 08:44 |
ikonia | eitch: I'm just seeing if there is any reference to way trash works for 11.04 onwards, but I can't see anything | 08:44 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: that looks fine | 08:45 |
Laibeus_Lord | jasef: yep. And the only thing that connects on my desktop right now is xmpp and local network | 08:45 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: what version of ubuntu is this ? | 08:45 |
eitch | ikonia, ok. Nautilus as root works fine, but i can't find the deleted file now... in root's home their is no .local folder and neither is the file in my trash | 08:45 |
ikonia | eitch: using root is not the answer | 08:45 |
Laibeus_Lord | desktop is Lubuntu 11.10 64-bit | 08:46 |
ikonia | eitch: that will not change the way the trash folder works | 08:46 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: if you do netstat -rn what is the gateway for 0.0.0.0 | 08:46 |
eitch | ikonia, i know. I'm just saying that using root didn't ask for confirmation about really deleting the file, so it should have gone to some trash... | 08:46 |
coolstar-ipod | Laibeus_Lord: Try pinging google.com | 08:46 |
ikonia | eitch: no it shouldn't, root works different that's why I told you not to use root | 08:47 |
jasef | coolstar-ipod: That's been tried. Twice. | 08:47 |
eitch | ikonia, ahh, ok | 08:47 |
Laibeus_Lord | ikonia: my modem/router's 192.168.1.254 | 08:47 |
coolstar-ipod | Laibeus_Lord: that means DHCP is working | 08:47 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: no it doesn't, | 08:48 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: ok - so it's forwarding out of your router and your router appears to forward dns requests without issue, and we know the resolver works fine, so why are tools such as ping or wget when they call libresolv not making the request | 08:49 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: lets try a test to see if it's actually the call to libresolv or the lookup it's self | 08:50 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: can you please add a line in your /etc/hosts file for a test, put wwww.google.com and map it to 8.8.8.8 | 08:50 |
coolstar-ipod | Laibeus_Lord: try pinging 74.125.224.114 | 08:51 |
coolstar-ipod | It's google's ip | 08:51 |
ikonia | we know ip addresses work | 08:51 |
ikonia | it's been tested | 08:51 |
coolstar-ipod | ikonia: ok | 08:51 |
jasef | Laibeus_Lord: Well, I don't know how to help from here, so I'm going to go. Good luck with your problem, and do yourself a favour and don't listen to anything coolstar-ipod says. No offence, coolstar-ipod. | 08:51 |
Laibeus_Lord | ikonia: ok done, added | 08:52 |
coolstar-ipod | Laibeus_Lord: try pinging localhost | 08:52 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: ok, now try ping www.google.com | 08:52 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: enough, stop | 08:52 |
coolstar-ipod | Ok. Fine | 08:52 |
jasef | coolstar-ipod: Stop, seriously. | 08:52 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: if you have no idea how to help, don't | 08:52 |
Laibeus_Lord | ikonia: it works | 08:53 |
* coolstar-ipod is gonna keep quiet | 08:53 | |
jasef | coolstar-ipod: It's clear you don't understand the problem, and I understand you want to help, but trying to help when you don't even understand the problem doesn't help. | 08:53 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: ok, so we now know that libresolv works fine | 08:53 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: could you pls change hosts-line in nsswitch.conf for a test into: hosts: files mdns4 [NOTFOUND=return] dns and try again | 08:53 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: so......thinking | 08:53 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: (remove that /etc/hosts entry, you don't want to keep that there) | 08:53 |
theadmin | What's the problem we're dealing with anyway? I was looking away from the channel | 08:54 |
coolstar-ipod | theadmin: Laibeus_Lord's DNS isn't workin | 08:54 |
theadmin | coolstar-ipod: They just determined it is working :/ | 08:54 |
ikonia | coolstar-ipod: again, please stop | 08:55 |
theadmin | coolstar-ipod: (s)he can ping Google, it works | 08:55 |
* coolstar-ipod cant help though | 08:55 | |
theadmin | ikonia: Mind telling me what the problem is? lol | 08:55 |
ikonia | theadmin: give it a minute and you'll see the issue, | 08:55 |
theadmin | ikonia: Ok | 08:55 |
Laibeus_Lord | llutz_, ok did the change | 08:55 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: ping -c1 www.google.com | 08:55 |
ikonia | theadmin: I'll fill in the gaps once llutz_'s test is done | 08:55 |
Laibeus_Lord | llutz_, unknown host | 08:55 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: i assume you removed the google host-entry | 08:55 |
Laibeus_Lord | llutz_, yep | 08:56 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: wrong guess of mine, sry | 08:56 |
ikonia | theadmin: so, he's using the google dns servers as a test, we know they work as dig/nslookup query them fine, we know libresolv works fine as if you put entries in the host file, they get looked up, however when applications make a call to libresolv that requires dns looks, they don't happen | 08:56 |

ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: just thinking this through, not ignoring you | 08:58 |
etu_ | Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about making firefox load faster. It currently takes about 3 seconds. I tried cleaning the SQLite database using a script, but it didn't do much for me. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10. | 08:58 |
jasef | I don't mean to overly simplify this, but is there any chance rebooting would help this? If there's anything Windows taught me it's that rebooting fixes things it really shouldn't sometimes. | 08:59 |
Laibeus_Lord | theadmin: yep, it just happened a few hours ago after I turned on xampp, which I have been using regularly, never happened before | 08:59 |
theadmin | etu_: 3 seconds ain't long... It loads for like 1.5 minutes for me, hey | 08:59 |
Laibeus_Lord | ikonia: np ^^ | 08:59 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: turn off xampp, does it make a difference | 09:00 |
theadmin | Hm... xampp really shouldn't be doing something like this | 09:00 |
Laibeus_Lord | ikonia: yep, turned it off, then rebooted, still the same. | 09:00 |
Laibeus_Lord | jasef: let me try another reboot | 09:00 |
ikonia | Laibeus_Lord: ok, so that's good at least, it's persistant outside of xampp | 09:00 |
llutz_ | Laibeus_Lord: just blind trying, nsswitch.conf: hosts: files dns | 09:01 |
etu_ | theadmin: Ah, ok. I was thinking, like most programs such as Abiword take maybe 1.5 seconds at most, so Firefox might too. How does it take 1.5min? That seems kind of slow. Then again I'm not a particularly patient person :-P | 09:01 |
spim | Hello. | 09:01 |
theadmin | etu_: Anyway, on Extensions Manager -> Plugins disable those you do not use, especially the "VLC Multimedia Player Plugin" (if that's there), that takes ages to load. | 09:01 |
spim | Is this the place to ask about VCD? | 09:01 |
spim | . | 09:01 |
spim | VLC* | 09:01 |
theadmin | spim: You can ask here (if you're using it on Ubuntu) | 09:02 |
spim | I am. ;) | 09:02 |
spim | So there's no dedicated VLC serv? | 09:02 |
Laibeus_Lord | brb, might as well restart everything | 09:02 |
etu_ | theadmin: Ok, thanks! | 09:03 |
llutz_ | #videolan spim | 09:03 |
theadmin | etu_: As for how it takes 1.5 minutes, extensions, tons of them (like twenty). Chrome with almost same number of extensions starts up in just a few seconds though ^_^ | 09:03 |
spim | Ugh, sorry. Not VLC. | 09:04 |
spim | VNC. | 09:04 |
Corey | spim: What's the real world problem you're trying to solve? :-) | 09:04 |
Corey | Ugh. | 09:04 |
spim | I can't type coherently. | 09:04 |
llutz_ | spim: there are some more tla with V :) | 09:04 |
spim | So yeah. Is there a dedicated VNC chan, or is this the place to discuss it? | 09:04 |
llutz_ | !alis | spim | 09:05 |
ubottu | spim: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 09:05 |
etu_ | theadmin: Ah, hmm. I disabled the VLC plugin, but didn't notice much difference. Then again I have about twenty plugins and extensions too. It's funny that you say that because I switched away from Chromium because it was too slow. :-P | 09:05 |
spim | Aight apparently not. | 09:05 |
theadmin | etu_: Huh. Weird. Okay lol | 09:05 |
jasef | etu_, wow, that IS strange. I use Google Chrome (not Chromium but very similiar) on both Windows and Ubuntu on a pretty low powered netbook, and it's REALLY fast. | 09:06 |
_Tristan | I used to be able to edit groups and users, now I have gnome 3 and that functionality is gone. How can I add a user to a group? | 09:06 |

llutz_ | _Tristan: sudo adduser user group | 09:06 |

spim | Corey: I apoligize. Just want to make sure I'm in the right place. | 09:06 |
theadmin | etu_: I suppose so. | 09:06 |
_Tristan | llutz_: thanks | 09:06 |
theadmin | etu_: I haven't used Firefox for a few months now, and the last one I used is Aurora anyway | 09:07 |
spim | Anyway, just as you asked I finally got it to work after three days of configuring and troubleshooting. :-P | 09:07 |
spim | However, it's giving me an error. | 09:07 |

theadmin | almoxarife: ? | 09:08 |
spim | I think I'm falling in love with Linux. | 09:08 |
spim | A little at least. | 09:08 |
jasef | coolstar-ipod: ... what are you doing? | 09:08 |
coolstar-ipod | jadef: that restarts the gnome panel | 09:08 |
spim | Also, stupid question perhaps, but is it possible to give Linux/Ubuntu unorthodox screen resolutions? | 09:08 |
theadmin | jasef: (s)he's firing random suggestions which make no sense... With one word, trolling | 09:09 |
spim | That don't conform to 4:3 or 16:9. | 09:09 |
coolstar-ipod | spim: yes | 09:09 |
spim | Is that a bad thing? | 09:09 |
theadmin | spim: Yeah, just add them manually to xorg.conf, but I don't see a point | 09:09 |
coolstar-ipod | spim: No | 09:09 |
etu_ | theadmin: lol, yup, 14 plugins | 09:09 |
spim | theadmin: The point is that I'm accessing it from my iPad, so I want the screen res to fit my window. | 09:09 |

Kimble | Hey. I'm bored and looking to remove unnecessary processes from ps aux. I run 11.10 on a laptop with one built-in SATA HDD, and two attached USB flash drives. I notice 8 scsi_eh processes, 0 through 7. Do I need all these? | 09:09 |
jasef | coolstar-ipod: I KNOW what it does, I can see the command. | 09:09 |
jasef | coolstar-ipod: Stop answering questions, seriously. You're not helping anyone. There was absolutely no reason to kill gnome-panel. | 09:10 |
llutz_ | coolstar-ipod: in german we'd say "Nuhr!". so pls stop | 09:10 |
theadmin | llutz_: How do you even read that? lol | 09:10 |
coolstar-ipod | jasef: that command worked for me since forever...... | 09:10 |
Corey | spim: Firstly, I'm doing something similar. The iPad3 will help this. | 09:11 |
coolstar-ipod | Just satin | 09:11 |
etu_ | theadmin: Not to mention 13 extensions. No wonder it's slow. | 09:11 |
theadmin | etu_: lol | 09:11 |
brodock | Kimble: I don't use ps aux a lot, but htop. Are you sure that they are process and not just "forked process" nor "threads"? At htop we can hide they very easily | 09:11 |
jasef | coolstar-ipod: Yes, the command -works- but it doesn't work to fix the message that spim was getting. | 09:11 |
spim | Corey: iPad 3? Has it even been announced? | 09:11 |
Corey | spim: Secondly, I do everything via GNU screen and the console, so I can't lend much wisdom on the GUI side. | 09:11 |
etu_ | theadmin: The ridiculous list: http://pastebin.com/TYGww0UF :-D | 09:11 |

etu_ | theadmin: Now for going through and figuring out which ones are the culprits… :-P | 09:12 |
spim | Well, I don't mind having a low resolution. | 09:12 |
spim | I just want it to fit the window is all | 09:12 |
spim | Because this VNC app has a bunch of toolbars. | 09:12 |
Kimble | brodock: sorry, what I mean is I'd like to kill unnecessary processes entirely, not just hide them. Is it safe to blacklist some of these scsi modules? | 09:12 |
Slart | IamTrying: you did try googling for it before you asked us, right? | 09:12 |
=== Guest25175 is now known as millun | ||
brodock | Kimble, well, do you have any scsi device plugged on? | 09:13 |
jasef | spim: Well, my laptop's default resolution is 1024x600, but it can display in 1024x768, it just looks kinda weird. Only Windows offers it by default though, but it helps sometimes when windows are to tall to fit on my screen (happens a lot with configuration windows in Ubuntu) | 09:13 |
brodock | Kinble if not, I'm pretty much sure that there will not have any side effect | 09:13 |
spim | jasef: yeah, i don't want it to look weird | 09:14 |
=== jocker is now known as Guest58576 | ||
jasef | spim: What's your default resolution? | 09:14 |
=== zaba_ is now known as Guest66041 | ||
spim | I don't know. I'm on an iPad. | 09:14 |
spim | So I want to set my VNC server up to run on the same res | 09:14 |
Kimble | brodock: no, not a single one. But doesn't linux do something funny like equate SCSI to SATA somehow? I'm sure I've come across SCSI drivers being somehow involved with SATA on linux. | 09:14 |
Guest58576 | ada orang indonesia,,? | 09:15 |
jasef | spim: Oh. Well, I think upping the resolution wouldn't help, in my experience VNC clients just let you scroll, they don't scale it out. | 09:15 |
theadmin | etu_: lol not bad, these are mine: http://i.imm.io/eNLh.png | 09:15 |
jasef | Kimble: Yes, my SATA drive is mapped as SCSI, I believe. | 09:16 |
etu_ | theadmin: hehe. That looks like plenty | 09:16 |
Kimble | jasef: ah, thank you. I knew linux was funny that way :) | 09:16 |
spim | jasef: My client scrolls. | 09:16 |
spim | You can pinch and zoom | 09:16 |
spim | however, I just got it to run in fullscreen | 09:16 |
spim | so it's OK now :) | 09:16 |
brodock | Kimble: well, not sure about it, but I think you have a point. They all use the same /dev starting words | 09:16 |

spim | Like, how much RAM? | 09:23 |
Slart | !karmic | 09:24 |
ubottu | Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://goo.gl/UUTAB for details. | 09:24 |
Slart | Isenn: check that link from ubottu.. it might some info on that | 09:24 |
coolstar-ipod | spim: Xubuntu only needs 128 MB to run so you'll have plenty. Unity is laggy on my computer with 3 GB of memory, so I doubt you want it on 1/2 of a GB | 09:25 |
Isenn | Yeah, i know it's "dead" but i still need to get some old packages .. and ubottu didn't state if it's relocated | 09:25 |
coolstar-ipod | spim: I was talkin about RAM btw | 09:25 |
spim | coolstar-ipod: Alright. | 09:26 |
Slart | Isenn: no, I kind of hoped it would.. hang on.. let me see if I can find it | 09:26 |

AdvoWork | if ive got 8GB of files(1000's of files) is there a way I can speciify a size of say 3GB and split all of those files into folders of that size? | 10:31 |
deitarion | AdvoWork: Do they need to be ordered or grouped in any specific way? | 10:32 |
ikonia | AdvoWork: you could use du to get the sizes, bc to add up the files and when they hit 3036 copy that list of files into folder 1, and repeat | 10:32 |
Bat | Any supporter has done a ffmpeg linux equal dis is on windows? unix nothing more | 10:32 |
deitarion | I think Bat is somehow under the misconception that ffmpeg for Linux is an inferior port of ffmpeg for Windows. | 10:33 |
AdvoWork | deitarion, no, aslong as the file names stay the same(as they are recorded conversations (timestamped filenames) | 10:33 |
MonkeyDust | AdvoWork use the find command and filter the files on size, cp them to a map | 10:33 |
ikonia | Bat: you are in #ubuntu, and ubuntu support channel, do you have a question regarding ubuntu that you need help with yes/no | 10:33 |
deitarion | AdvoWork: `apt-get install gaffitter`. It's a tool that, given a list of files, will spit out sublists to efficiently fit them to volumes of a specified size. | 10:33 |

LjL | faryshta: for wget, you put localhost:port in http_proxy, i don't remember the default port though | 11:12 |

th^2 | onre, well maybe I just switch to lubuntu because my PC isnt the oldest possible. quad core and everything | 11:28 |
deitarion | th^2: The X server handles managing access to the screen, keyboard, and mouse between multiple applications. On top of that, you have a window manager (draws window borders, handles focus, resizing, and dragging, etc.) | 11:28 |
MonkeyDust | juniour1 i guess you need explore2fs | 11:28 |
onre | th^2, sure, whatever suits you. i used twm from '90s until 2008 or so, and still occasionally consider switching back to it because of its speed and lightness ;) | 11:29 |

juniour1 | Monkey Dust idient got you man | 11:29 |
juniour1 | ??/ | 11:29 |

deitarion | juniour1: Windows doesn't normally understand Linux hard drives. There's a program for Windows called explore2fs that can read them. | 11:29 |
MonkeyDust | juniour1 explore2fs is win program you can use to read ext partitions | 11:29 |
th^2 | deitarion, so in basic ubuntu installation theres xserver and top of that unity? what else? | 11:30 |
th^2 | onre, looks pretty old :D | 11:30 |
deitarion | th^2: Unity is the panel program. The window manager is Compiz. Last I checked, the desktop icons were drawn by Nautilus. There's also a bunch of other components. All of them are heavy because they value glitz. | 11:31 |
onre | th^2, yup, i just configured it so that menus, window list and window decorations were black and different shades of green. one non-computer-oriented friend commented something about my computer being "just like they are in the movies" :p | 11:31 |

th^2 | deitarion, its funny because linux is considered as light weight alternative for windows.. | 11:32 |

deitarion | th^2: The combination of Unity and Compiz is trying to compete with Windows and MacOS for graphical glitz, so it's not lightweight. | 11:33 |
habanany | I need help , anybody can tell me how to apply this on my HTC EVO 3d [06:26] (372) :- SSC Networks (www.ssc.no) for sponsoring this server! | 11:33 |
th^2 | deitarion, to me basic ubuntu doesnt seem to be any faster than win7... | 11:33 |
LjL | th^2: well if people told you it would be, they weren't particularly right. | 11:34 |
deitarion | th^2: It probably isn't... but it was faster than Vista and, if you start into something lighter than Unity+Compiz, it WILL be faster. | 11:34 |
habanany | Si tienes problemas al escuchar el audio, abre cualquier reproductor de MP3, y utiliza la opcion de abrir URL y coloca la siguiente direccion mms://media.enet.cu/radiorebelde | 11:34 |
deitarion | th^2: KDE 4 is about as heavy as Unity+Compiz, so that's out.. but Xfce is as light as GNOME 2 and LXDE is even lighter. | 11:34 |

mbutubuntu | how to know what video driver is using X ? | 11:36 |
ikonia | mbutubuntu: it's in the log | 11:36 |
mbutubuntu | .xsession-erros ? | 11:37 |
mbutubuntu | or /var/log/messages? | 11:37 |
deitarion | th^2: The main thing you have to understand is that what you know as "Linux" is a stack of bits and pieces that you can mix and match. Replace the heavy bits and your system will look more plain, but be faster. | 11:37 |
ikonia | mbutubuntu: the xorg log | 11:38 |
mbutubuntu | ok | 11:38 |
th^2 | deitarion, yes im aware of that. have been using zenlinux on my laptop for 2 years. its pretty fast but not suitable for desktop | 11:38 |
habanany | Thanks obottu | 11:39 |
deitarion | th^2: Give LXDE a try with `apt-get install lubuntu-desktop`. That's reasonably polished (I use it as my only desktop interface) and quite light. If it turns out you need something a little more polished, explore `apt-get install xubuntu-desktop`. You can mix and match components from the two to get the feature set you want. (eg. Xfce devs explicitly refuse to implement tabbing in their file manager) | 11:40 |
jolaren | I get connection refused when I try to connect from my work laptop.. it has always worked well before, but I tried to fiddle with keys and then removing them causing my server to refuse the connection. Now I have to use my other server for socks5 proxy in order to connect - what can I do? | 11:41 |
dxd828 | hey people! | 11:41 |
ikonia | jolaren: undo what you did | 11:41 |

ubuntuaddicted | i want to STOP IT | 11:42 |
ubuntuaddicted | please | 11:42 |
ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: kill it | 11:43 |
ubuntuaddicted | BUT want to learn what's backing up | 11:43 |
ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: nothing, it's gzipping the file | 11:43 |
deitarion | ubuntuaddicted: Have you tried the pstree command? | 11:43 |
ubuntuaddicted | deitarion, no | 11:43 |
ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: if you don't want to wait for it to finish, kill it | 11:43 |
ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: if you want it, wait for it to finish | 11:43 |
ubuntuaddicted | deitarion, any special syntax? | 11:43 |
deitarion | ubuntuaddicted: Nope. Just run it. | 11:43 |
ubuntuaddicted | ikonia, i don't know what it's backing up, plain and simple. | 11:44 |
ubuntuaddicted | deitarion, thanks | 11:44 |
ubuntuaddicted | will check it out | 11:44 |
ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: it's not backing anythign up | 11:44 |
ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: it's gzipping something you've told it to | 11:44 |
ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: it's probably log rotation if it's an automatic process | 11:44 |
ubuntuaddicted | ikonia, sigh, it's archiing something and I don't know what. understand now? | 11:44 |
ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: no, as you're not being clear | 11:44 |
deitarion | ikonia: He didn't explicitly start gzip and he wants to know what's going on. | 11:45 |
ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: if this is an automated process that you didn't start, it will be something like log rotate, and a simple "ps -ef | grep gzip" will show what the command it's running is | 11:45 |
ubuntuaddicted | deitarion, thank you, that answered my question. appreciate your help. have a good day | 11:45 |
ikonia | deitarion: there you go, simple explination | 11:45 |

ikonia | LedM: #ubuntu-br or #ffmpeg please - last warning | 11:53 |
LedM | xsl yes | 11:53 |
htmlinprogress | ot! | 11:53 |
ikonia | xsl: depends on the raid type | 11:53 |
xsl | LedM: im missing out something, i didnt see the place where i can define the raid | 11:53 |
ikonia | xsl: hardware raid, sure, software raid no, fakeraid, most likley not depending on the device | 11:53 |

xsl | btw.... on a raid1 configuration (2 discs no hotspare) - if one disk breaks .. the system still boots up right? | 11:55 |
ikonia | xsl: correct | 11:55 |
aum___ | LjL , Now the size of my desktop is "726 MB" so i think i have removed sufficient thing ... | 11:55 |
LjL | aum___: eh, if the login manager is still there, you will still get a graphical login prompt. "sudo apt-get remove lightdm" or "sudo apt-get remove gdm" depending on your Ubuntu version. | 11:56 |
xsl | i will need to rebuild the raid later wen i insert a new disk ( still a bit new to software raid :P ) | 11:56 |
xsl | thx for your support ikonia | 11:56 |
ikonia | xsl: it's one command to add a new disk and tell it to mirror across to it | 11:56 |
aum___ | LjL, how can gdm can reside , i have removed every instance of X server ... | 11:57 |
LjL | aum___: then if you've removed X i really don't see why you'd need to press ctrl+alt+f1 to login textually... what do you *see* before pressing ctrl+alt+f1? | 11:57 |

MonkeyDust | rom4ever if you're sweet | 12:11 |
rom4ever | ok MonkeyDust | 12:12 |
rom4ever | :) | 12:12 |
[ptr]xyz | so, whats your problem? | 12:12 |
rom4ever | my wonderful 11.10 works well but every time I reboot machine | 12:12 |
theadmin | NimeshNeema: If you have Flash installed, open them with any browser with NPAPI support (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Chromium) | 12:12 |
rom4ever | I get this error : running /scripts/init-bottom ... done adding 2096444k swap on /dev/sdb1 ecc EXT3-fs (sda2): using internal journal | 12:12 |
rom4ever | and boot stops there | 12:13 |
rom4ever | blinking cursor | 12:13 |
rom4ever | and stop :( | 12:13 |
rom4ever | so I noticed that if I start in recovery mode | 12:13 |
MonkeyDust | rom4ever it says ext3, i bet you're using it in combination with ext4 | 12:13 |
NimeshNeema | theadmin: i actually am working on source code of a web-site and found some flash files. wanted to know if i can read the code from .swf files. they open up in browser | 12:13 |
rom4ever | and remount disks all goes well | 12:13 |
MonkeyDust | rom4ever ext4 has journalling, i think ext3 has not | 12:13 |
rom4ever | but anytime I have to make same thing | 12:14 |
theadmin | NimeshNeema: No, you can't, they're pretty much like compiled binaries (like Windows .exe files, for instance) | 12:14 |
rom4ever | ah ok | 12:14 |
NimeshNeema | theadmin: oh kewl. thanks a ton !!! | 12:14 |
rom4ever | so what can I do to fix it ? | 12:14 |
aum___ | LjL: same blank screen with a blinking "_" on on the top | 12:14 |
rom4ever | thnx MonkeyDust | 12:14 |
MonkeyDust | rom4ever i'd say: backup important files and format ext3 to ext4 | 12:14 |
aum___ | LjL: ok just tell me how to boot to tty1 directly... | 12:15 |
rom4ever | this machine is in production state cause it's used for monitoring... | 12:15 |
rom4ever | and I don't understand why this issue is raised now | 12:17 |
rom4ever | MonkeyDust: I have one only disk with 2 partition one for data and second for swap | 12:18 |
MonkeyDust | and? | 12:19 |
rom4ever | yes | 12:19 |
g00se | I've lost count of the number of times i've used a live disk and found a problem with wireless proprietary drivers - usually Broadcom. Of course, the mandatory system restart is then impossible. Is there a standard way of packing them all into an extra partition or something? | 12:19 |
noordung | Hi guys. Where can I talk to some Ubuntu (Ayatana/AppMenu) devs? | 12:19 |

g00se | NimeshNeema: How current? I was using 11.4 | 12:23 |
Guest45165 | hi | 12:23 |
Nfisher | LjL, pretty much like netcat but more handy, since netcat cuts of the other-one typing when one issues a line | 12:23 |
noordung | g00se, type "sudo modprobe <driver name>" | 12:23 |
rom4ever | MonkeyDust: and nothing, only one disk | 12:23 |

noordung | g00se, in the terminal, of course | 12:23 |
NimeshNeema | g00se: 11.04 should work fine (as far as i remember) | 12:23 |
NimeshNeema | or u can boot from a pen-drive | 12:24 |
Guest45165 | I want 2 add wireless interface on this vm | 12:24 |
g00se | noordung: I was going to try that but wasn't sure what the module was | 12:24 |
Guest45165 | is it possible to add | 12:24 |
texas | i have 11.04 (fresh download) but i dont have acces to a ethernet cord just the wifi in the house | 12:24 |
texas | so the only way i can get online is usuing a old 10.04 live cd | 12:25 |
noordung | g00se, I use the wl broadcom driver, so sudo modprobe wl usually does it for me... you can "locate bcm | grep /lib/modules" to see what other bcm drivers there are :/ | 12:25 |
Guest45165 | I am using oracle vm on ubuntu and I want to add wireless interface on this vm | 12:26 |

ikonia | Guest45165: you won't be able to add the wirless card directly to the vm | 12:26 |
aum___ | LjL, then can you please tell me who knows... | 12:26 |
ikonia | Guest45165: you'll have to do a bridge | 12:26 |

noordung | g00se, hm... It must be trying all over then. BTW, make sure your Wifi's switch is on. | 12:27 |
Guest45165 | I run lspci but wireless wasn't display it | 12:28 |
noordung | g00se, how come? | 12:28 |
g00se | noordung: Because the locate database wouldn't have been updated since the 'download' | 12:28 |
noordung | g00se, "sudo updatedb" then ;) | 12:29 |

noordung | g00se, I wonder how you want them to work without having them installed. Or am I missing something? | 12:30 |
texas | any one? | 12:30 |
noordung | g00se, Usually you plug in a wired LAN, let it take care of that, and then see if the drivers work | 12:31 |
g00se | noordung: Well i was thinking more of copying them if they were missing | 12:31 |
Guest45165 | any one help me out how to add wireless interface in oracle virtualbox | 12:31 |
noordung | g00se, that *can* work, but it may take you a while to get all of the dependencies right. | 12:31 |

texas | then why does it work when i use my old live cd | 12:33 |
Nfisher | LjL, yeah, i might read into talk a lil | 12:34 |
noordung | texas, it probably isn't. just telling you that it is. | 12:34 |
texas | i dont have acces to a hard line | 12:34 |
g00se | noordung: Yes. It would just be a way around no network problem. I'm guessing that the 'downloading' thing is false and that they're really in the ramdisk. If so, i'll try modprobing it, though i'm surprised about the 'system requires restart' business. But of course there could be firmware issues too... | 12:34 |
texas | btw im pretty green for future warning | 12:35 |
noordung | g00se, "system requires restart" is an easy way of telling someone to modprobe :) | 12:35 |
noordung | g00se, the kernel loads modules upon modprobe or restart. | 12:35 |
texas | after removing bmwl-kernal -source i used the one thats in the restricted folder on the cd and i cant activate it | 12:36 |
texas | becasue its not showing up on jockey | 12:36 |

noordung | g00se, no not really. From a design point of view, it's the best thing ever. Telling your normal office worker to open a terminal and write "sudo modprobe" is too difficult. Making a script that does that is too risky. | 12:38 |
texas | Jne know any thing about broadcom drivers | 12:38 |

James13433 | the only way to copy a dirstory to the ver root of my server /var/qmail would be with SSH right? | 12:39 |
Jne | So can i read PDF v7 with xpdf on ubuntu 11.1 ? | 12:39 |
theadmin | Jne: Why not try it? lol. xpdf reads pretty much everything. If not, try Okular. | 12:39 |
noordung | theadmin, everything PDF on linux is based on xpdf (pretty much) | 12:40 |
g00se | noordung: Maybe, yes. | 12:40 |
Jne | Thanks very much ! | 12:40 |
theadmin | noordung: Okular does things that other readers don't seem to do though. For instance it reads cbz. Who knows... | 12:40 |
totalanon | I can't use apt-get anymore. I definitely screwed something up. | 12:40 |
LjL | totalanon: what's the error? | 12:40 |
g00se | Actually in most cases the system reports that it's installing 'Broadcom STA' drivers. I suppose that could cover more than just one module? | 12:40 |
texas | can anyone help me to get my broadcom to work on my old compaq | 12:41 |
noordung | theadmin, it's PDF renderer is based on xpdf code (if not xpdf itself) | 12:41 |

texas | dude | 12:44 |
g00se | OK, thanks. I'll take a look. In my case, at least, live raises the bar | 12:44 |
texas | i have been through that thing 1000 times if once | 12:44 |
texas | ive done the ofline steps | 12:44 |
texas | and nothing | 12:44 |
noordung | texas, 1. Have you established a connection to the Internet on the machine you want the drivers installed? | 12:44 |
texas | i only have acess to wifi | 12:45 |
AdvoWork | if im doing su user and then mysql ....... how can I find out exactly what path its using to call mysql? | 12:45 |
totalanon | @LjL It says permission denied for that file. | 12:45 |
texas | but i can get it going with a live cd | 12:45 |
LjL | totalanon: use sudo | 12:45 |
texas | so no i have not for the 11.04 that is installed | 12:45 |
theadmin | AdvoWork: which mysql | 12:45 |
noordung | texas, then I don't know how much more can you do. Offline help is difficult for the dependencies. The driver needs to be built for the specific kernel. It won't work from other kernels. | 12:46 |
texas | yeah i know if i could hook it up i could fix it | 12:46 |
texas | but i dont have a way | 12:47 |
llutz_ | AdvoWork: why do you run mysql as root? "mysql -u root -p" | 12:47 |
llutz_ | AdvoWork: ignore me | 12:47 |
ubuntuDan | test | 12:48 |
noordung | texas, sorry. try and download the packages on a thumb drive, and install them manually on the machine. but that can be tricky. are you sure you cannot find any place where you can connect a LAN cable with internet to your computer? | 12:48 |
glebihan | llutz_, you actually had a point even though he's not running as root | 12:48 |

fil_ | is there a way to get these information through terminal?? If repositories are down or up to when my distro is Still-Alive ? :) | 13:12 |
iceroot | fil_: the tome of support? | 13:12 |
iceroot | fil_: apt-cache show packagename there is a field called support and normally have the value 18m | 13:12 |
iceroot | fil_: apt-cache show vim gives me Supported: 5y | 13:13 |
iceroot | fil_: the length of support depend on the ubuntu version, normal ubuntu versions have 18 month, lts releases (until 10.04) have 3 years (desktop packages), 5 years cli packages, 12.04 will have 5 years for everything (but not lubuntu packages) | 13:15 |
iceroot | fil_: and there are also repositories which dont have the full length of support (imo universe and multiverse) | 13:15 |
fil_ | iceroot: i am running 'show vim' and it says 18m (ubuntu 10.10).. vlc says nothing about supporting.. but i get the picture... thanx! Although i am still in a dilemma concerning upgrading the distro (i dont like gnome 3 & unity :)) | 13:18 |

_fury | ikonia do you have shutter glases and tested it? | 13:20 |
iceroot | fil_: vlc is in "universe" which is not supported | 13:20 |
iceroot | fil_: universe is managed by the community and not canocial, normally you get also 18month support but that is not 100% sure | 13:20 |

theadmin | Vooloo: Remove old kernels | 13:21 |
fil_ | auronandace: true... i should not say what i dont like, but i should say what i do like (gnome 2.x).. do you know how i can in install xfce but without any apps besides the one i do have already?? just the GUI?? i am running a stripped down version of ubuntu and i would like to keep it that way... | 13:22 |
theadmin | fil_: Then just "sudo apt-get install xfce4", what's the problem? | 13:22 |
fil_ | theadmin: doesnt this install also basic programs included in xfce?? | 13:23 |
theadmin | fil_: Well, yeah, XFCE can't work without those :/ | 13:23 |
_fury | Is anyone here who got glxgears -stereo working? | 13:24 |
theadmin | fil_: "xubuntu-desktop", on the other hand, will install everything the XFCE edition of Ubuntu comes with (which is a lot more) | 13:25 |
fil_ | theadmin: "Xfce also provides numerous additional applications and plugins so you can extend your desktop the way you like, for example a terminal emulator, text editor, sound mixer,ical etc"... i mean without these.. | 13:25 |
theadmin | fil_: Uh, okay, let me search for it | 13:25 |
theadmin | fil_: I can't find any other way around it | 13:26 |
fil_ | theadmin: i would like to keep, for example nautilus in gnome, but whatever xfce uses when i login with xfce(or nautilus again).. from what i understand i might have problems with different file manages co-existing in the same system... and since it is a stripped down edition, who knows what kind of error might come up:( | 13:27 |
theadmin | !purexfce | fil_: You're still going to need those anyway, so just follow this guide | 13:28 |
ubottu | fil_: You're still going to need those anyway, so just follow this guide: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 13:28 |
fil_ | theadmin: thanx for the effort and information!!! | 13:28 |
auronandace | fil_: nautilus and thunar can co-exist fine as far as i know | 13:29 |
Pici | fil_, theadmin: Just don't install the suggests for the xfce4 metapackage and you should be fine. | 13:29 |
theadmin | Pici: "suggests"? Sorry, I forgot how APT functions. Is that the "optional dependencies"? | 13:29 |
robinduckett | theadmin: yes | 13:30 |
_apostate_ | what about just installing xfce4-panel and xfce4-session? | 13:30 |
Pici | theadmin: essentially. The xfce4-goodies package has a lot of the extra bulk that isn't really needed to have a functioning xfce4 desktop. | 13:30 |
theadmin | Pici: I know, but, say, Thunar is not in the -goodies, but in xfce4 | 13:30 |

LjL | m4k: revert back to the Maverick kernel if you want any support. | 13:37 |
theadmin | LjL: Virtualbox works just fine even on the 3.2 kernel, you just have to deal with vboxdrv manually | 13:37 |
LjL | theadmin: ok, his system is still unsupported though ;) | 13:38 |

elo_ | bazhang. yeah well i was thinking on connecting an external wifi antenna and for that i need a usb wifi card. so i just asked myself. perhaps ubuntu wont recognize the usb wifi. i really have no idea :) | 14:17 |
ikonia | elo_: doesn't your machine already have a wirless network card in it ? | 14:17 |
bazhang | elo_, the eeepc has an internal wifi already | 14:18 |
cyclicflux | Whats happening fellow tech-enthusiasts | 14:18 |
elo_ | ikonia yes it does. but it doesnt have a rp-sma connector | 14:18 |
jasef | cyclicflux: This is a support channel, there's #ubuntu-offtopic for other chat :) | 14:18 |
ikonia | elo_: do you need an external connection ? | 14:18 |
p3ter | hi | 14:18 |
elo_ | for the external antenna. to boost the signal strength | 14:18 |
ikonia | elo_: do you think it will make a big difference ? | 14:19 |
elo_ | actually i dont know. but an external antenna should make a big difference compared to none at all | 14:19 |
ikonia | I can't see it personally making a big difference | 14:19 |
bazhang | elo_, not really. it's quite good as is | 14:20 |
cyclicflux | I had a question. Its kind of strange, on this machine I am using ubuntu 10.04, with gnome, and I have the monitor intermittently hibernate, and then not turn back on. When I leave the computer it hibernates, and then it is able to restore. However, interestingly enough while using it, it will intermittently hibernate and then it will not restore thereafter. | 14:20 |
elo_ | ikonia. what. :) are you saying an antenna in the eee pc is so good. it will not make any difference to connect an antenna ?? | 14:20 |
bazhang | elo_, do what you wish. won't make much of a difference though. and Ubuntu runs fine on those | 14:21 |
ikonia | elo_: I'm saying arials like that rarley make a difference in home user situations | 14:21 |
elo_ | not sure how you define home user. but i think i will get more range with an external antenna. and that was all i was saying :) | 14:22 |
auronandace | elo_: how much more range do you expect and how much do you need? | 14:23 |
elo_ | was thinking of building a yagi antenna. that would probably get me a few hundred meters | 14:25 |
satya | hello | 14:25 |
satya | how to give permissions for document root files to writable by ftp and apache users | 14:25 |
auronandace | elo_: few hundred meters? where do you plan to use it? | 14:26 |
elo_ | suburban like environment i guess i can call it | 14:27 |
sharky1 | i am setting the environment variable on ubuntu like that export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH and export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH, but it works only for the current shell. How do I make this global for all shell sessions? | 14:27 |

ian_ | Ive installed 11.10 on a 12 inch Mac Powerbook G4, using a Precise Alternate PowerPC download, which I burned onto a DVD. I have two problems - 1) There are no desktop icons, and on Firefox Im getting dropouts or gaps on the pages. The System settings seem to suggest that the Graphics Driver is unknown. 2) I cant connect to the internet wirelessly - the wireless symbol at the top of the screen tells me that I need firmware for a wireless connection to be establi | 14:39 |
ian_ | shed. Not sure what this means, but imagine that it has to do with Airport needing to be turned on. Where do I start? Ian | 14:39 |

ian_ | OK, thanks | 14:45 |
robinduckett | does anyone know of any alternatives as CTDB/Samba/GlusterFS doesn't seem to allow user passwords to be distributed | 14:46 |
adom | can anyone help me with getting Dropbox working in Ubuntu? stopped working the other day and i cant tell why. | 14:50 |
robinduckett | adom: reinstall it | 14:50 |
adom | robinduckett: did that. twice. | 14:50 |
adom | after hte install i do a "ps aux |grep dropbox" and there's nothing | 14:50 |
robinduckett | adom: uninstalling the deb/pkg and reinstalling it isn't the same thing | 14:50 |
robinduckett | check your .config or .local files for any leftover crap | 14:51 |
adom | robinduckett: please explain. what exactly should i do to uninstall first. | 14:51 |
robinduckett | ~/.config | 14:51 |
robinduckett | ~/.local | 14:51 |
adom | should i apt-get purge? | 14:51 |
robinduckett | check there for crap leftover | 14:51 |
robinduckett | then you may want to check if it installed any libraries | 14:51 |
adom | those are both folders, should i just do a "find ~/.config" -iname "dropbox"? | 14:52 |
adom | or do i need to grep the files? | 14:52 |
adom | just did find commands and grep commands for both .config and .local directories and nothing found | 14:53 |

elementz | is that even the proper way to do it? what i need is to provide wpa encrypted access point to a friend. my first try was by using network-manager, but that did not work at all | 14:55 |
elementz | anyone got an idea what i could do? | 14:55 |
yermandu | elementz: could be the card, could | 14:56 |
adom | robinduckett: how do i check if dropbox installed any libraries? | 14:56 |
elementz | yermandu: hm. what makes you think so? | 14:56 |
yermandu | elementz: because if connect more or less so, the card is most best probly issue | 14:57 |

_nedR | i have gotten these BADSIG errors before and each time follow some instruction off the internet without understanding what they're (something about cache inconsistencies or something)... but how do i know whether i am not unwittingly installing malware | 15:18 |
adom | so i installed dropbox from the .deb package from their site, how do i uninstall it so i can reinstall it? | 15:21 |
adom | is there like a -u flag for .deb files? | 15:21 |
auronandace | _nedR: the only way to prevent you doing anything unwittingly is to understand what you are doing (read and learn) | 15:21 |
LjL | adom: you can use apt-get to remove packages installed with dpkg | 15:22 |
LjL | adom: (anyway, dpkg -r) | 15:22 |
adom | LjL: i tried "sudo apt-get purge dropbox" but it said no dropbox package found | 15:23 |
Lin-E | Synaptic ? | 15:23 |
LjL | adom: you very sure it's installed and has that name? | 15:23 |
iceroot | adom: dpkg -l \*dropbox\* | grep ^ii | 15:23 |
blitzkev | I'm having trouble installing samba4 using apt-get | 15:23 |
iceroot | adom: that will show you al packages installed with dropbox in the name | 15:23 |
blitzkev | im going to pastebin my errors | 15:23 |
adom | well, i guess it might not be fully installed, because ps aux |grep dropbxo returns nothing | 15:23 |
adom | dpkg -l \*dropbox\* |grep ^ii | 15:24 |
adom | whoops | 15:24 |
adom | wrong terminla >.< | 15:24 |
_nedR | auronandace: thanks for reply... the google results provide only instructions without much explanations.. i am looking for some simple explanation which doesn't hopefully involve learning the entire architecture of deb package systems | 15:24 |
adom | iceroot: nautilus-dropbox comes up | 15:24 |
blitzkev | http://paste.ubuntu.com/808683/ | 15:25 |
flintwingel | _nedR: it's not always easy to know whether or not you're installling malware. More likely in this case though is that you've added a new repository without adding the keys as well | 15:25 |
iceroot | adom: then hat package is installed | 15:25 |
sovereignentity | I have ubuntu 10.04 installed with music on another drive how can i gett the path of that drive? | 15:25 |
adom | iceroot: so if its installed, why cant i apt-get purge it? | 15:25 |
iceroot | adom: what is the output of "apt-get remove --purge nautilus-dropbox" | 15:26 |
iceroot | adom: why should that not work? | 15:26 |
LjL | adom: the package that's installed is "nautilus-dropbox", not "dropbox" which you tried to purge | 15:26 |
_nedR | flintwingel.. no i haven't done anything of the sort.. this seems to be the cause : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/24061 | 15:26 |

Pici | You can't remove a random .deb that you've installed manually by using apt. The apt database won't know anything about it. Use dpkg instead. | 15:27 |

g[r]eek | Hi fellas. We've got an Ubuntu server running on our LAN, which is plugged into our ADSL router. We also have 2 client laptops plugged into this router. When we connect to the router, we can access the internet from our clients. We can also ping the server by specifying its IP, ie: pine 192.168.0.10 - however, despite the server being correctly mapped in /etc/hosts, we cannot access it in our browser, ie: http://apollo/ - but ping apollo | 15:29 |
g[r]eek | works. Any tips? | 15:29 |

ikonia | bobweaver: what are you not sure about | 15:33 |
adom | yet Software Center still has an "install" button | 15:33 |
flintwingel | _nedR: does this keep happening even after you're cleared down the apt cache as per the instructions in the thread | 15:33 |
iceroot | adom: output of "dpkg --print-architecture" | 15:34 |
_nedR | flintwingel: no | 15:34 |
adom | iceroot: i386 | 15:34 |
_nedR | it has happened occasionally | 15:34 |
iceroot | adom: ok then its 32bit | 15:34 |
adom | this is an optiplex 360, we use all 32bit optiplexes for our workstations | 15:34 |

flintwingel | _nedR: I wouldn't be too concerned in that case. You have to work hard to install a package from an unsigned repo | 15:35 |
Pici | iceroot: He said that he downloaded the .deb file from dropbox's website. | 15:35 |
bobweaver | aghhh sorry about my fat fingers | 15:35 |
ikonia | bobweaver: what IP address are you using to access it ? | 15:35 |
vite | what is the command to install the sound driver on ubuntu 11.10 server | 15:36 |
MonkeyDust | adom try apt-cache search dropbox | 15:36 |
iceroot | Pici: and what does that have to do with "nautilus-dropbox"? | 15:36 |
iceroot | adom: what are you doing exactly? | 15:36 |
bobweaver | ikonia: it is in the local 192.1.blah | 15:36 |
ikonia | bobweaver: ok - so thats why you can't access it outside your network, that is a private network | 15:37 |
MonkeyDust | 192.168.blah, you mean | 15:37 |
Pici | iceroot: That may be the name of the package that dropbox's website has, however only oneiric and precise have that in their repos. | 15:37 |
bobweaver | ikonia: do you know how to use apache2 and /etc/host to fix it add domain name keep it local | 15:37 |
_nedR | flintwingel: so the workaround commands do not potentially open me to any vulnerability? | 15:38 |
bobweaver | ikonia: I want to keep local untill I figureit out | 15:38 |
adom | situation: dropbox worked for a long time, then stopped working. dropbox folder still there, but "ps aux |grep dropbox" showed nothing running. i assume the dropbox daemon isnt working. trying to reinstall dropbox (whether from .deb file from their site or from repos i dont care, but i dont see dropbox or nautilus-dropbox in repos) | 15:38 |
ikonia | bobweaver: you want to resolve it by name locally, etc http://bob | 15:38 |

ikonia | bobweaver: is that what you want ? | 15:38 |
adom | running ubuntu 10.04 | 15:38 |
bobweaver | ikonia: yes change the local ip 192.168.blah .blah to http:// somename | 15:38 |

adom | meh | 15:38 |

ubottu | Package dropbox does not exist in oneiric | 15:39 |
flintwingel | _nedR: no, they are just clearing out the corrupted information then forcing it to be refreshed | 15:39 |
ikonia | bobweaver: how many clients are accessing this ? eg just your laptop or many ? | 15:39 |
_nedR | ok thanks thats what i wanted to know really.. i wondered whether the commands could potentially download some new fraudulent keys | 15:39 |
bobweaver | there will be about 5 people | 15:39 |
_nedR | thanks | 15:39 |
bobweaver | only on local | 15:39 |
adom | MonkeyDust: im on maverick | 15:39 |
adom | not oneiric | 15:39 |
ikonia | bobweaver: the easy way is to just put the machines IP/name in their local /etc/hosts file | 15:39 |
ikonia | bobweaver: that would be the most simple and fast approach | 15:40 |
MonkeyDust | adom maybe you have to download dropbox from the website | 15:40 |
adom | MonkeyDust: i have. i have the .deb file. | 15:40 |
bobweaver | ikonia: I read about virtualHost with apache2 | 15:40 |
ikonia | bobweaver: you don't need that | 15:40 |
MonkeyDust | adom and did you install it? | 15:40 |
ikonia | bobweaver: just put the hostname/ip address in the host file on the clients and you will be fine | 15:40 |
adom | MonkeyDust: however, when opening with Ubuntu Software Center, it says not available for this type of computer (i386). problem is, this IS an i386 computer. | 15:41 |
adom | whats also weird is that even though the software center says that, there's still an Install button | 15:41 |
adom | should i go ahead and click it? | 15:41 |

MonkeyDust | /s/without/with | 15:42 |
adom | MonkeyDust: give me something to try and ill do it. im not super familiar with using dpkg from the command line | 15:42 |
g[r]eek | ikonia: regarding your question - "can you access the server in your browser by IP address, eg: http://192.168.24.10" - the server's name is apollo, and when I try access its IP via my browser it tries to forward to www.apollo.com | 15:43 |
MonkeyDust | adom try dpkg -i [package] <-- -i stands for install | 15:43 |
_nedR | exit | 15:43 |
adom | MonkeyDust: i must do that from within the folder with the .deb file right? | 15:44 |
MonkeyDust | adom yes, or include the path in the file name | 15:44 |
mneptok | adom: are you running the x86-64 or i386 version of Ubuntu? | 15:45 |
MonkeyDust | adom use TAB to complete the filename | 15:45 |
mneptok | adom: i386 packages will often require lots of i386 dependecies to run on x86-64 | 15:46 |
adom | mneptok: this is 32bit/i386 | 15:47 |
mneptok | g[r]eek: using the name "apollo" will not work unless you have a DNS server inside your network that knows who "apollo" is, and all the machines are using that DNS server | 15:47 |
mneptok | adom: what package? | 15:47 |
adom | mneptok: what do you mean what package? do you mean what distribution/version of ubuntu? meerkat 10.10 | 15:48 |
mneptok | adom: what package are you trying to install? | 15:48 |
MonkeyDust | adom what's the outcome of uname -i | 15:48 |
adom | MonkeyDust: uname -i returns "unknown" | 15:49 |
adom | but i think dropbox is working now | 15:49 |
adom | its syncing correctly | 15:49 |
adom | yay! | 15:49 |
MonkeyDust | adom how did you do it? | 15:49 |
adom | MonkeyDust: first checked through ~/.config and ~/.local for anything dropbox, found a couple lines that said start required and restart required, deleted them, did sudo apt-get purge nautilux-dropbox, then just the dpkg -i line to install from .deb. | 15:50 |
adom | in retrospect, prob shouldve done the purge first, then grep around for leftovers to delete. | 15:51 |
adom | meh, worked | 15:51 |
adom | LjL Pici MonkeyDust [everyone else] : thanks for the help | 15:51 |
MonkeyDust | \o/ now you're the expert | 15:51 |
adom | ^_^ | 15:52 |
g[r]eek | mneptok, ok thanks. Does that fact that we've installed dnsmasq on apollo help at all? Currently our ADSL router that connects us to the internet is where we get our nameservers from - but yes these are for public / internet websites and don't include our local server apollo | 15:52 |
mneptok | g[r]eek: most consumer routers include a DNS server. tell the router to use a public DNS. setup names and static IPSs in the routing tables for hosts that need it, and tell local machines their DNS is the router. | 15:53 |

chromaticwt | is there a way to disable lightdm? | 16:02 |
chromaticwt | I want to use startx to start my wm. | 16:03 |
g[r]eek | mneptok, ok that makes sense. This is where it gets tricky however. Basically, we want wildcard subdomains to work on our LAN server. So if we go http://sub1.apollo/ and http://sub2.apollo/, our Apache's configuration (which is configured to handle VirtualHosts), knows to handle the subdomains. The only way we managed to get this wildcard to work (by wildcard I mean not having to configure each subdomain in our clients' /etc/hosts files), | 16:03 |
g[r]eek | was by installing dnsmasq on the LAN server. So yes, if we configure each subdomain manually in /etc/hosts, then it works no problem. But we have hundreds of these subdomains and so as you can imagine, configuring each on manually on each of our clients' /etc/hosts files is tedious. Does that make sense? | 16:03 |

g[r]eek | mneptok, I've gota dash, but I'll stay here, if you would be so kinda as to send me a private message if you happen to know the answer to my previous question, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks | 16:09 |

LiroXIV | Okay, question: I have a computer lab here. Two computers are hooked to a router (only one runs Ubuntu, but both use NetworkManager), but do not access the internet. | 16:36 |
LiroXIV | Yet, I still want to connect them on a sort of LAN. What settings do I use? | 16:36 |
MonkeyDust | LiroXIV a router with modem? | 16:36 |
LiroXIV | MonkeyDust: its not one of those. | 16:37 |
stjohnmedrano | good day, i need help in my nokia bluetooth headset, ubuntu cannot detect the device, but it works fine with my android phone. thnx | 16:37 |
MonkeyDust | LiroXIV so without modem? | 16:37 |
LiroXIV | I'm just helping set up a networking demo in a seperate lab here at school (yes, and I'm using Linux distros here; just to show off how good they are :D ) | 16:38 |
LiroXIV | yes, no modem | 16:38 |
MonkeyDust | the modem is to get you online, on the internet | 16:38 |
nak_ | please how can i create an acoount e-mail in thunderbird ? | 16:39 |
LjL | LiroXIV: if the router serves DHCP, you should not need to use any particular settings | 16:39 |
MonkeyDust | nak_ http://products.secureserver.net/email/email_thunderbird.htm | 16:41 |
MonkeyDust | yes, the router is for NATting, but not to get you online | 16:41 |
LiroXIV | MonkeyDust: I'm not gertting them online | 16:42 |
LiroXIV | I'm just trying to get them to be able to connect to eachother | 16:42 |

SpenserWilde | hi all. | 16:43 |
sovereignentity | I now know how to make symbolic links | 16:43 |
LiroXIV | MonkeyDust: should I just use static IPs? | 16:43 |
sovereignentity | pat me on the back | 16:44 |
LjL | LiroXIV: you should use static IPs only if the router doesn't serve DHCP | 16:44 |
MonkeyDust | LiroXIV DHCP provides IP addresses to each of the machines | 16:44 |
LiroXIV | MonkeyDust: when I set them to DHCP, network manager both says they're disconnected | 16:44 |
LjL | LiroXIV: then maybe the router doesn't serve DHCP. in that case, either set the router to serve DHCP, or configure statically. | 16:45 |

sdousley | Hi all,. I have an 11.04 machine that I've just put Windows XP on as a second OS. Unfortunately, due to time restrictions, I had to do Ubuntu before XP, so now am Trying to work out how to get grub working with options. | 16:46 |
DoctorD | MonkeyDust: it shows me 3 things: lo, eth0 and pan0. also it say between each other: no wireless extension | 16:46 |
MonkeyDust | but once a machine got an IP address, it won't change | 16:47 |
sdousley | I have grub working, so it now boots ubuntu, but not sure how to get it to add the Windows option | 16:47 |
MonkeyDust | DoctorD which OS's? | 16:47 |
DoctorD | just ubuntu 10.04 , now upgrading to 10.10 | 16:47 |
theadmin | sdousley: It would normally autodetect it. Can you run "sudo update-grub"? | 16:48 |
DoctorD | it is possible to work on 10.10 ? | 16:48 |
MonkeyDust | DoctorD sorry, i was addressing somebody else | 16:49 |
theadmin | DoctorD: Define that... It's possible to work on any OS, even DOS. | 16:49 |
sdousley | theadmin: ah, so it does :) that's cool. And if I wanted to change the timeout? Would that be in /boot/grub/grub.cfg somewhere? | 16:49 |
DoctorD | theadmin: what do you mean? | 16:50 |
theadmin | sdousley: Yeah, but because this is Ubuntu with it's carefullness, you shouldn't edit the file directly, instead see /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ | 16:50 |

theadmin | DoctorD: You asked whether it's possible to "work" on 10.10 | 16:50 |
DoctorD | yes..because on 10.04 it doesnt work | 16:50 |
DoctorD | maybe its not support | 16:50 |
DoctorD | idk | 16:50 |
sdousley | theadmin: ah, yeh, I meant /etc/default/grub actually from what I was readin :) | 16:50 |

The program netselect can be used to determine the site with the least latency; use a download program such as wget or rsync for determining the site with the most throughput.

javier_ | llutz: you mean I should search for that command? (./ -type f -iname \*.jar) | 19:56 |
flintwingel | d3eniz: the initial connection is made out from the client to a "well known port". under normal circumstances the server will then make a connection back to the client on a random port number | 19:56 |

flintwingel | d3eniz: depends on the client.... if you're using a text mode client just try typing "passive" | 20:00 |
llutz | javier_: then just add into your script "/usr/bin/java -jar /path/to/file-to-start.jar" | 20:01 |
javier_ | llutz: what I mean, in windows I have c:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jre6/bin/java.exe | 20:01 |
javier_ | llutz: I need the equivalent in my ubuntu machine | 20:01 |
llutz | javier_: type "which java" | 20:01 |
flintwingel | d3eniz: with graphical clients it's usually an option (tick box) associated with the connection | 20:01 |

javier_ | llutz: I guess that's it :) | 20:02 |
llutz | javier_: that it is | 20:02 |
flintwingel | d3eniz: vsftpd is the server.. it will accept the PASSIVE option but it's the client end that sets it. | 20:02 |
d3eniz | oh | 20:02 |
llutz | javier_: since it is inside your $PATH, you don't need to write "/usr/bin/java" just "java" does | 20:03 |
d3eniz | flintwingel: im using the browser atm but got filezilla installed aswell | 20:03 |
flintwingel | d3eniz: it's been a while since I used filezilla but you should find an option for passive connection somewhere is the connection setup | 20:04 |

=== nephyrin_ is now known as nephyrin | ||
flintwingel | d3eniz: vsftpd has the option to strictly limit the port numbers it will use to make an ACTIVE connection. The other option would be to restrict the port range from vsftpd and open all those ports on your firewall | 20:05 |
javier_ | llutz: Thanks, but it doesn't work. In windows that would be the way, but in ubuntu something may be different. It would be something like "/usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar jModelTest.jar" what I want, but I don't get any answer here, it doesn't execute the program | 20:06 |
d3eniz | flintwingel: what port range is a good range to restrict / open? | 20:06 |
p1l0t | Can one use cat on the cli to get just the last line or last page of a file (like an error log)? | 20:07 |
llutz | javier_: "/usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar /path/to/file-to-start.jar" you need to specify where the .jar file is | 20:07 |
javier_ | ah... | 20:08 |
javier_ | llutz: I'll try | 20:08 |
llutz | javier_: yours only would work, it the jModelTest.jar is inside your actual directory | 20:08 |

p1l0t | llutz: thanks | 20:09 |
flintwingel | d3eniz: anything between 1024 and 65535 ;)... generally something like 50000 to 50009 would be ok for a small server. How many simultaneous connections are you expecting? | 20:09 |
d3eniz | 1-2 top ^^ | 20:09 |
llutz | p1l0t: thats last line, last page... "tac file" | 20:09 |
p1l0t | llutz: :D works great I wish I knew about this years ago | 20:10 |
llutz | p1l0t: "tac file|less" sry | 20:10 |
javier_ | llutz: "/usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar /home/javier/Master biodiversidad/Herramientas moleculares/Programas/jmodeltest0.1/jModelTest 0.1 package/jModelTest.jar". There is where I have it. It doesn't work that way | 20:10 |
llutz | p1l0t: theres also "head" for the start of a file | 20:10 |
javier_ | and the .bat file is in the same folder as jModelTest.jar | 20:11 |
p1l0t | tail worked | 20:11 |
llutz | javier_: you need to escape the spaces in the path, /usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar "/home/javier/Master biodiversidad/Herramientas moleculares/Programas/jmodeltest0.1/jModelTest 0.1 package/jModelTest.jar" | 20:11 |

roger21 | hello, my ubuntu don't boot apparently because it can't access a cifs drive, i don't evan have a prompt to modify the fstab, what can i do? | 20:12 |
javier_ | llutz: you mean I remove spaces in the path (what is inside quotes)? | 20:12 |
javier_ | so, write Herramientasmoleculares | 20:12 |
roger21 | obviously this drive is just external data | 20:12 |
llutz | javier_: no, you cannot remove the spaces, it would break the path | 20:12 |
javier_ | llutz: I see. Then? | 20:13 |
llutz | javier_: try this, exactly as here: /usr/bin/java -mx3500 -jar "/home/javier/Master biodiversidad/Herramientas moleculares/Programas/jmodeltest0.1/jModelTest 0.1 package/jModelTest.jar" | 20:13 |

roger21 | ok | 20:14 |
javier_ | llutz, no luck. Guess is something more complicated... | 20:15 |
llutz | javier_: whats the error? | 20:15 |
javier_ | llutz, just, it doesn't start anything. Nothing happens after executing the file | 20:15 |

javier_ | llutz: I see what can be the problem. I neet it to be .bat file, but I have .txt. How to create a .bat file in text editor? | 20:16 |
llutz | javier_: type "cd /home/javier/Master biodiversidad/Herramientas moleculares/Programas/jmodeltest0.1/jModelTest 0.1 package/" or better copy/paste into terminal | 20:16 |
SteM | why my 10.04 doesn't ask me to upgrade to a newer version? | 20:16 |

javier_ | llutz, you mean I start it from terminal with sh nameofmyfile.bat? | 20:17 |
llutz | javier_: yes | 20:17 |
javier_ | llutz, but shouldn't I save it as .bat before? | 20:18 |

ActionParsnip | soee: what groups is the user in? | 20:18 |
javier_ | llutz, I'll try | 20:18 |
llutz | javier_: this is different from dos/win | 20:18 |
soee | ActionParsnip, what user ? | 20:19 |
styelz | SteM: you probably have updates set to only LTS version, load up Software Sources app and change the Updates option to any new version. | 20:19 |
ActionParsnip | SteM: you probably have the system set to ONLY upgrade to LTS, Considering Precise (also LTS) is out in April, I'd just wait it out (or upgrade now and use the Alpha release) | 20:19 |
styelz | jinx | 20:20 |
ActionParsnip | soee: the one you cannot gets sounds from.... | 20:20 |
javier_ | llutz, I get this error: Error occurred during initialization of VM; Too small initial heap | 20:20 |
llutz | javier_: ask the java-gurus about that... no idea | 20:21 |
SteM | styeltz: yes, it is, but why it was not upgrated to 11.04? | 20:21 |
javier_ | llutz, jejeje. Ok. Thank a lot anywayt | 20:21 |
javier_ | is there a java room in the chat?= | 20:21 |
ActionParsnip | SteM: you will need to upgrade to Maverick, then to Natty... you cannot leapfrog releases, unless you upgrade LTS to LTS | 20:21 |
ActionParsnip | javier_: #java | 20:21 |
llutz | javier_: ##java | 20:21 |
javier_ | thanks! | 20:21 |
SteM | ActionParsnip: how can i upgrade to Maverick? | 20:22 |
llutz | javier_: add "java -Xms128m " | 20:22 |
javier_ | llutz, in which part? | 20:22 |
llutz | javier_: " /usr/bin/java -mx3500 -Xms128m ....rest of the line" | 20:23 |

ActionParsnip | danno7_: worth running: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gparted just to be sure | 21:02 |
javier_ | Humbedooh, ah, I did ./configure. Now just type "make" and later just tape "make install"? | 21:03 |

sneezewort | ActionParsnip: Thanks. | 21:07 |
diverdude | llutz, whats the advantage of creating a partion over using the rawdrive? Im gonna only use a single partition anyway | 21:07 |
MonkeyDust | zodo you could make a list of things you're missing in ubuntu | 21:07 |
ActionParsnip | diverdude: you'll need to partition it to format it | 21:07 |

MonkeyDust | zodo or look here, maybe this is a place to submit your ideas http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ | 21:11 |
javier_ | ActionParsnip, a bioinformatics app called garli | 21:11 |
ActionParsnip | !info garli | 21:12 |
ubottu | Package garli does not exist in oneiric | 21:12 |
ActionParsnip | hmm | 21:12 |
diverdude | llutz, w,p and q is not in the options list | 21:12 |
llutz | diverdude: "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" then press "n" for "new partition", p for primary, 1 for sdb1, "w" to write, "q" to quit | 21:12 |
diverdude | llutz, n also not | 21:12 |
diverdude | ahhh | 21:12 |
diverdude | hehehehe | 21:12 |
diverdude | ok i get it :D | 21:12 |
diverdude | sorry | 21:13 |
zodo | MonkeyDust, ok cool.. i can see that ubuntu is way behind on some very user friendly options that most other distros have allready implemented | 21:13 |
lm1 | If you do a whois in via GUI, does that info get logged on server or is it only displayed privately? | 21:13 |
=== deeb is now known as theoN | ||
MonkeyDust | zodo work to be done! good luck! ;) | 21:13 |
ActionParsnip | javier_: are you compiling garli 0.96b8-2? | 21:13 |
nronksr | Anybody know an enterprise ticketing system that is gnu? | 21:13 |

diverdude | llutz, First sector (2048-123456432, default 2048): Do i press w or just enter? | 21:14 |
llutz | diverdude: sry, just enter/enter | 21:14 |
guntbert | Votary: ~/.xchat2 | 21:14 |
javier_ | ActionParsnip, I see... | 21:15 |
diverdude | llutz, hmmm i pressed enter/enter and then w...and then it wrote "The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks. and then it just automatically quit | 21:16 |
zodo | the idea is to give the user an options they need, without hitting the command line and putting all that stuff in for a remote x connection | 21:16 |
diverdude | llutz, wasn't it supposed to format it? | 21:16 |
llutz | diverdude: nope, sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sdb1 | 21:16 |
guntbert | zodo: please stop that ranting - start coding instead | 21:16 |

llutz | diverdude: hrm, just one user or more? | 21:24 |
diverdude | llutz, welll maybe its good to put in a place for multiple users | 21:24 |
diverdude | ActionParsnip, me drinking special copenhagen carlsberg brew :D gooooooooooooooooood | 21:25 |
llutz | diverdude: ok, you'll have to adjust ownership/permissions then. id mount it to /storage, /media is more for dynamically mounted stuff | 21:25 |
ActionParsnip | diverdude: not had copenhagen brew, I have a cup of PG Tips :) | 21:26 |
diverdude | llutz, whoo its the first time i have ever created a new dir in root :D | 21:26 |

meerkats | should a very unstable GUI worry me? it just changed withouth warning | 21:29 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: gui to what? | 21:29 |
meerkats | crap, my mouse just stopped working | 21:29 |
diverdude | llutz, so i just add a new line to /etc/fstab : mount /dev/sdb1 /storage ? | 21:29 |
joe__rebel | How exactly do I register for a particular channel? | 21:30 |
meerkats | forgive the noob ActionParsnip , but GUI = graphical interface? | 21:30 |
ActionParsnip | diverdude: I suggest you use UUIDs | 21:30 |
llutz | diverdude: naaaa, "/dev/sdb1 /storage ext4 default,noatime 0 0" | 21:30 |
HSarena | Hi! My touchpad does n't work, plz help me, i have Vaio Laptop and have 11.10 | 21:30 |
diverdude | meerkats, yes | 21:30 |
meerkats | ok | 21:30 |
diverdude | ActionParsnip, UUIDs ? Is that difficult to use? | 21:30 |
Votary | :1212 | 21:30 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: yes, but to what thing. Like xsane is a GUI for sane, gparted is a gui to parted. | 21:30 |
llutz | diverdude: or UUID= from "blkid /dev/sdb1" instead of /dev/sdb1 | 21:30 |
meerkats | help with this one: im stuck here, my mouse does not work, how can I use the keyboard to change between open windows? I need to access the terminal and circle to firefox too... | 21:31 |
Duality | hi | 21:31 |
ActionParsnip | diverdude: no, the default install uses them. You can see the UUIDs of your partitions by running: sudo blkid | 21:31 |
meerkats | ActionParsnip, ubuntu GUI | 21:31 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: so you mean Unity... | 21:31 |
meerkats | ActionParsnip, im using fallback, if that means something | 21:31 |

HSarena | is there anyone can help me???? | 21:32 |
DLCN | it seems to have become unresponsive | 21:32 |
diverdude | llutz, so that line i should add to /etc/fstab is : "UUID= from "blkid /dev/sdb1" ? | 21:32 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: you can use a terminal to unload then reload the mouse module | 21:32 |
llutz | diverdude: nnoooo | 21:32 |
diverdude | hehehehe | 21:32 |
llutz | diverdude: either "/dev/sdb1 /storage ext4 default,noatime 0 0" | 21:32 |
diverdude | :D | 21:32 |
llutz | diverdude: or UUID=(from "blkid /dev/sdb1") /storage ext4 ......." | 21:33 |
Duality | I am not so used to command line, i know some things to get my way around, but i installed ubuntu Server, and also want it to share network to other computers, in normal ubuntu with gui i did edit connections and set ipv4 settings to shared to other computers, how can i accomplish this on ubuntu server? | 21:33 |
meerkats | ActionParsnip, somethin really strange: I connected an independet mouse via USB and this one works (craptop user here, with an embedded mouse area) | 21:33 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: what make and model system? | 21:33 |
diverdude | llutz, whats the ....... ? | 21:33 |
llutz | diverdude: the rest from the line before like "UUID=411c1a24-092e-4400-aee0-07e618cd9dbf /storage ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0" | 21:33 |
meerkats | ActionParsnip, the independent mouse is a logitech M180 | 21:34 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: no, the system, not the mouse | 21:34 |
meerkats | a lol | 21:34 |
HSarena | Hi! my touchpad doesn't work, how to fix it??? | 21:34 |
diverdude | llutz, hmm | 21:34 |
ActionParsnip | HSarena: what make and model system? | 21:35 |
llutz | diverdude: "blkid /dev/sdb1" to get the easy-to-remember UUID-string | 21:35 |
diverdude | wooo | 21:35 |
jurua | helo | 21:36 |
diverdude | llutz, cant i do something like blkid /dev/sdb1 >> /etc/fstab ? | 21:36 |
diverdude | llutz, to append it | 21:36 |
HSarena | ActionParsnip : i have Vaio laptop and have ubuntu 11.10 | 21:36 |

ActionParsnip | meerkats: no, the make and model of the laptop. Sony Vaio, Acer Aspire, Dell Lattitude??? Nothing at all to do with the operating system at all | 21:37 |

elfranne | i added a second hdd on my headless linux server but it is not showing up in ls -l /dev/sd* (it is a sata disk) any idea why ? | 21:40 |
ActionParsnip | HSarena: in /etc/default/grub the default boot options are: quiet splash add the option in there then run: sudo update-grub Instead of immediately asking for clarification, you could do just a tiny bit of searching and find guides based o what I replied.... | 21:40 |
chrischw | hi everyone... | 21:40 |

diverdude | llutz, sweet so i now have in my /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb1: UUID="dsa fdsaf -fds as fdsa f" TYPE="ext4" Should i change it so that the line reads: UUID="dsa fdsaf -fds as fdsa f" /storage ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 ? | 21:40 |
jurua | o | 21:40 |
chrischw | can anyone help a lost newbie? | 21:40 |

n000b | someone who knows kdenlive out there? o.O | 21:41 |
th^2 | hello. i can choose a DNS server in my routers LAN conf. i dont understand what does that mean... | 21:41 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: try the boot option: i8042.reset | 21:41 |
chrischw | ok, so kdenlive works fine on 11.10 64 bit, but the rendering does not work... | 21:41 |
jurua | yes | 21:42 |
meerkats | ActionParsnip, open terminal, copy that, right? | 21:42 |
llutz | th^2: that means, if you don't like the one your ISP offers, use your own | 21:42 |
lm1 | Anyone game under linux? If so, whats your hardware? | 21:42 |
chrischw | everything results in the meaningless error "rendering crashed" | 21:42 |
diverdude | llutz, and then restart system? | 21:42 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: see the long line I gave HSarena earlier | 21:42 |
llutz | diverdude: why? | 21:42 |
ActionParsnip | lm1: i do a little | 21:42 |
chrischw | any idea? | 21:42 |
diverdude | llutz, to make changes take effect :D | 21:42 |

llutz | diverdude: no need | 21:43 |
th^2 | llutz, but my eth0 is configured to use googles dns :S | 21:43 |
diverdude | llutz, ok...how do i then make the changes take effect0+ | 21:43 |
diverdude | =? | 21:43 |
llutz | diverdude: sudo mount /storage | 21:43 |

bugaloo | Hi all! Here is the thing: I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed in a broken notebook. I was able to start this broken notebook enough to make an image of its hd. I want to know if/how I use this image and run it in a virtualbox machine. anyone? | 21:54 |
HSarena | ActionParsnip : sometimes one of the clicks don't work, sometimes i can't clicking, and sometimes a pointer won't move | 21:55 |
LjL | bugaloo: it's probably better to just mount it and save the data... | 21:55 |
theadmin | bugaloo: What kind of image? dd? | 21:55 |
bugaloo | theadmin, I have dd image of the partition where ubuntu was running before | 21:55 |
ActionParsnip | HSarena: change this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.nomux=1" | 21:56 |
bugaloo | LjL: this isn't enough for me... I need to run the machine | 21:56 |
ActionParsnip | HSarena: I can't put it any plainer. | 21:56 |
n000b | hello? some one here who can help me with kdenlive? | 21:56 |
theadmin | bugaloo: If so, well, you need to convert it to a vdi: http://dd2vmdk.appspot.com/ | 21:56 |
theadmin | bugaloo: This needs a working system though... There are other tools around too | 21:57 |
bugaloo | theadmin, I already converted it... but once my image is from "sda1" and not "sda" it seems the virtualbox thinks my image has a hd with no partition table | 21:57 |
theadmin | bugaloo: Ah, well, you have a partition image... That ain't gonna work at all | 21:57 |
theadmin | bugaloo: VirtualBox doesn't deal with partitions, only drives >.< | 21:58 |
bugaloo | theadmin, yes, sorry... I miss explained ... it's a partition image | 21:58 |
bugaloo | theadmin, but I guess there is a way to use it yet... with some work of course | 21:58 |
theadmin | bugaloo: Well if there is then I dunno | 21:59 |
bugaloo | theadmin, I can "mount" the partition image converted in vdi on my virtualbox running a live ubuntu iso | 21:59 |

=== dannel is now known as dannelSOPA | ||
LjL | geekbri: --dry-run works | 22:00 |
theadmin | geekbri: Yeah, apt-get --dry-run | 22:00 |
bugaloo | theadmin, so I'm trying right now to do this: I created another vdi (with partition table, sda and sda1) and I mounted both vdi's (my sda1 and sdb with the partition image) and I did "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb1" | 22:00 |
geekbri | theadmin, LjL: well then, thanks... that was easy :) | 22:00 |
bugaloo | I hope my partition image sda goes to the sdb1 partition | 22:00 |
bugaloo | but I'm not sure if this is going to work, and takes a bit to do it because it's a large partition | 22:00 |
bugaloo | so i'm looking for another idea in the mean time | 22:01 |
hydrox24 | bugaloo: another idea for what exactly? | 22:01 |

heoa | err time? | 22:18 |
heoa | ./bin/* | 22:19 |
heoa | It runs only one file, I want some easy way to run many -- I know how to do that with a file but there must be some straightforward wildcard or some shell-based solution | 22:19 |
hydrox24 | heoa: like, tun many of the executables in parralell? | 22:19 |
bugaloo | heoa, use "&" | 22:19 |
bugaloo | like... ./file1 & ./file2 & ./file3 | 22:20 |
bugaloo | it'll run all them | 22:20 |
hydrox24 | heoa: that's right, the "&" will put each command run into the background allowing the next one to being immediately | 22:20 |
mun | hi | 22:20 |
hydrox24 | no, | 22:20 |
hydrox24 | heoa: "./bin/* &" | 22:20 |
laptop | Joe | 22:20 |
hydrox24 | the & puts the command in the background | 22:20 |
DFan247 | test... | 22:20 |

DFan247 | thanks! | 22:21 |
Guest54531 | hello | 22:21 |
mun | i have a server that has 2 interfaces connected: wlan0 and usb0 (tethering). the usb0 was connected first and all traffic seems to be going through that. is there a way to force traffic through wlan0 via console? | 22:21 |
heoa | hydrox24: sorry but that is not right, it puts the one file to background | 22:21 |
bugaloo | mun, change your default route | 22:22 |
mun | bugaloo, how do i do that? | 22:22 |
llutz | mun: sudo route del default && sudo route add default wlan0 | 22:22 |
bugaloo | mun, route del default ; route add default gw wlan0 | 22:22 |
bugaloo | min, execute it as root | 22:22 |
Guest54531 | where's the free porn? | 22:22 |
bugaloo | Guest54531, off, against sopa hehehe | 22:22 |
pangolin | Guest54531: wrong network | 22:22 |
mun | bugaloo, llutz thanks so much. | 22:22 |
hydrox24 | Guest54531: Only tech porn here, and yes, pangolin is right | 22:23 |
bugaloo | anytime | 22:23 |
imbezol | heoa: ls -1 | while read FILE ; do $FILE ; done | 22:23 |
Guest54531 | haha, sopa | 22:23 |

Titomen | Hi..has any body done an image with partimage on a system build on software raid: raid1 boot- radi1 swap, raid 5 system, raid 5 home? | 22:23 |
ActionParsnip | Guest54531: that is offtopic here, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:24 |
pangolin | Guest54531: This is a Ubuntu support channel, please stick to the topic. | 22:24 |
bugaloo | Guest54531, ok... I have nothing against your porn question, but now you're getting my hate, hehe | 22:24 |
Titomen | Hi..has any body done an image with partimage on a UBUNTU system build on software raid: raid1 boot- radi1 swap, raid 5 system, raid 5 home? | 22:24 |
Guest54531 | the porn thing was a joke. I'm against porn and stealing so logically for sopa | 22:24 |
pangolin | Guest54531: last warning. | 22:25 |
ActionParsnip | Guest54531: that is offtopic here, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:25 |

hydrox24 | no gnu, no wikipedia, how the hell am I supposed to help people!!!! | 22:27 |
ActionParsnip | Titomen: always a pleasure :) | 22:27 |
hydrox24 | I live in australia and support the anti-SOPA cause but this is getting really annoying! | 22:27 |
ActionParsnip | hydrox24: when did gnu stop? | 22:27 |
redlegoreng | Hello ! I'm trying to install ubuntu on my ThinkadW520. I used universal usb installer to copy the ISO to an external usb harddrive. Everything worked, but now, when i choose my external drive in the boot menu, it does not load (goes back to the load menu). Does it matter that it's a hard drive and not a flash drive ? | 22:27 |
ActionParsnip | SOPA is offtopic here | 22:27 |
hydrox24 | ActionParsnip: don't know | 22:27 |
imbezol | heoa: ls -1 | while read FILE ; do $FILE & done | 22:27 |
imbezol | heoa: that does them all at once | 22:27 |
laptop_ | What happened to Ubuntu? It used to be great but now UNITY sucks. Are windows developers trying to destroy it? | 22:27 |
Wargasm | hydrox24 wiki works, you just have to click stop before it goes to the SOPA page | 22:28 |
hydrox24 | sorry, was trying to lookup parrallels info on the gnu.org site | 22:28 |
ActionParsnip | redlegoreng: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded | 22:28 |
Night-hacks | synaptics disable key doesn't works on my ubuntu 11.04 (toshiba portege) | 22:28 |
Titomen | ActionParsnip: Thanks | 22:28 |
hydrox24 | Wargasm: might just use lynx | 22:28 |
phibxr | laptop_, yes, we actually are. | 22:28 |
redlegoreng | no, I'll do that now | 22:28 |
krumme | hey all is ther some one the know if i can install Ubuntu on my iphone | 22:28 |
Night-hacks | synaptics touchpad disable key doesn't works on my ubuntu 11.04 (toshiba portege) | 22:28 |
hydrox24 | krumme: only a basic version of linux known as busybox... what sort of phone is it? | 22:29 |
laptop_ | iphones are for stupid people | 22:29 |
krumme | hydrox24 iphone 4 | 22:29 |
hydrox24 | Night-hacks: Unfortunately those are the sorts of issues you'll have to test your google-fu with. | 22:29 |
phibxr | !trolling | laptop_ | 22:29 |
ActionParsnip | krumme: seems to be an ARM CPU, so you could | 22:29 |
phibxr | Crap, didn't exist. | 22:29 |
[deXter] | phibxr, you just got trolled by ubottu ;) | 22:29 |
Wargasm | laptop_: try a different DE, thats what I did and its great when you find one that works for you | 22:29 |
hydrox24 | krumme: The first few iPhones can run a busybox linux, but no touch support, so basically only potential for hacking and geeks. it isn't practical | 22:29 |
laptop_ | No, really. Have windows developers tried to kill Ubuntu? This Unity thing is HORRIBLE. | 22:30 |
yorkz | iphone 4 suxxxx | 22:30 |
lm1 | How did the SOPA bill do anyway, did they vote today or was it just the blackout? | 22:30 |
Night-hacks | hydrox24: is there any way to get any input values in x input ? wanna check if linux gets any signal from that key ? | 22:30 |
redlegoreng | ActionParsnip: where's the checksum ? i dont see it on the download page | 22:30 |
krumme | hydrox24 :( soo no Ubuntu for my iphone | 22:30 |
phibxr | laptop_, we hired the same team that designed windows vista. pretty, isn't it? | 22:30 |
ActionParsnip | laptop_: you don't have to use Unity or Gnome.. | 22:30 |
Humbedooh | lml, just blackout | 22:30 |
hydrox24 | krumme: Android works kinda OK on older iPhones: http://linuxoniphone.blogspot.com/2010/04/ive-been-working-on-this-quietly-in.html | 22:30 |
epaphus | ActionParsnip, worked perfectly. If I download a .jnlp file (to be executed by the JRE directly without the browser) How could i do this...? do you know? | 22:30 |
hydrox24 | krumme: Essaentially no. | 22:30 |
alien2050 | laptop_: there are many other options all using ubuntu, like gnome-shell, e17, kde, lxde, etc.... so you're not bound to use unity... | 22:30 |
Humbedooh | lml, wait till January 24th for the good voting stuff :) | 22:30 |
ActionParsnip | Humbedooh: if you are quick on the STOP button in your browser, you can read wikis | 22:30 |
Humbedooh | ActionParsnip, uhm, I know? | 22:31 |
hydrox24 | laptop_: I use gnome 3. I love it to bits | 22:31 |
laptop_ | PHIBXR, that's what it appears like. This stupid bar on the left sucks. Going over to Mint | 22:31 |
yorkz | well unity is sort of a failure imo | 22:31 |
ActionParsnip | epaphus: not sure, I only use java in browser | 22:31 |
alien2050 | hydrox24: +1 | 22:31 |
epaphus | ActionParsnip, thanks | 22:31 |
Wargasm | laptop_: I use lxde... I love that so far... except for the battery monitor GRRR | 22:31 |
epaphus | Anybody know how i can run a .jnlp with the JRE in Ubuntu? | 22:31 |
ActionParsnip | Humbedooh: well, I'm not fully up on what you know and what you don't know, do I, uhm? | 22:31 |
* Humbedooh slaps ActionParsnip | 22:32 | |
hydrox24 | yeah, I find gnome 3 has a steep learning/comfort curve but stick with it for a week or so and you'll be addicted | 22:32 |
alien2050 | epaphus: yep it should work... I did it before with sun ELOM apps | 22:32 |
laptop_ | I am using gnome and I still have this stupid bar on the left like windows | 22:32 |
hydrox24 | I stuck with unity for 2 weeks atleast to break it in and still didn't like it THAT much... its OK | 22:32 |
epaphus | alien2050, double cliking it just opens a window to select how to open it.. not sure what i should do though | 22:32 |
hydrox24 | laptop_: you'll find that unity is infact a baked-on extension for gnome | 22:33 |
ActionParsnip | laptop_: install xfce4 you will not have Unity and you can run all your favourite Gnome apps | 22:33 |
nronksr | Anybody know an enterprise ticketing system that is gnu? | 22:33 |
hydrox24 | nronksr: This probably isn't the right channel | 22:33 |
alien2050 | epaphus: it's been some time, but I think it needs to find your java bins... try from command line it should give you more info | 22:33 |
hydrox24 | ask that on the whirlpool or linux forums | 22:33 |
laptop_ | Action, I'll try that | 22:33 |
ActionParsnip | laptop_: there are plenty of desktops you can use | 22:33 |
hydrox24 | laptop_: I also recommend xfce4 for simplicity and stability, but I think gnome-shell is more efficient and fun. | 22:34 |
kent | about shh tunneling, downloading files through the server does that strain its connection speed? anythoughts? | 22:34 |
hydrox24 | laptop_: I reckkon xfce4 is outdated but then again, that IS why people love it so much | 22:34 |
redlegoreng | ActionParsnip: i compared checksums, it's ok... i'll try once more, but it is supposed to work as well on external hard drives as well, right ? | 22:34 |
ActionParsnip | laptop_: here is my desktop in Precise. I use LXDE: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png | 22:34 |
hydrox24 | kent: more specific? | 22:35 |
ahammond | kent: it incurs some processor overhead and creates additional latency. | 22:35 |
laptop_ | hydrox I installed gnome shell but still have the stupid bar on the left | 22:35 |
ActionParsnip | redlegoreng: ot sure then, try making the bootable device with a different app | 22:35 |
heoa | imbezol: yes, takes some time to kill some tex -bugs (apparently in the paralellel I should also automate pressing enter while compiling latex documents...) | 22:35 |
glebihan | laptop_, then you didn't run gnome-shell, there isn't a left bar on gnome-shell | 22:36 |
redlegoreng | ok | 22:36 |
kent | trafficking my downloads throught the server... | 22:36 |
heoa | imbezol: (or to fix the latex errs... on time) | 22:36 |
imbezol | heoa: you could add "yes" to your command | 22:36 |
mun | bugaloo, llutz hi again. regarding sudo route add default wlan0 it seems that the original flags for default is UG ut the new flag for default is U. does it make much difference? | 22:36 |
laptop_ | My brother owns a company that sends people tickets for illegal downloads | 22:36 |
ActionParsnip | glebihan: I thouht the default was this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4hgJe6HCdAY/TnyV4cq_SgI/AAAAAAAACik/w3kJJy5kCZc/s1600/gnome_shell_ubuntu_oneric.png whih has a bar | 22:37 |
Titomen | I open this uestion to anybody here who can help me, since i am new...i ask a question, and not politelyand with warnings that i should leave, very kindly ActionParship Advise me to go to the #ubuntu-offtopic, which i did, once i place the question there, pangolin one more time in not a very helpfull way place this comment: "this channel is not a replacement for when you don't get an answer | 22:37 |
Titomen | in #ubuntu but yeah, it's not good to come here for support"...So this is my question FOR UBUNTU.....i have an ubuntu sytem on software raid with a computer that is having some problems...i have to create an image so i can restored to a new computer....can somebody help me on this.... | 22:37 |
heoa | imbezol: yes well now I freezed it :P | 22:37 |
imbezol | heoa: :) have fun with that | 22:37 |
glebihan | ActionParsnip, well that's the overview, this isn't visible on the desktop until you actually open it | 22:37 |
ActionParsnip | Titomen: you can use partimage or dd to make an image of the partition | 22:38 |
heoa | imbezol: I did do ./$FILE | yes & <-- getting nice amounts of yes :P | 22:38 |
Nfisher | Hi all ive a little probleme here. i jsut added a new user and now i logged in as it... now when i type "who" it doesnt list the loged in new user.. whats wrong here? | 22:38 |
ActionParsnip | glebihan: I guess but the bar is still there ;) | 22:38 |
ActionParsnip | Nfisher: try: who -a | 22:38 |
Titomen | ActionParsnip:..well that was my intention to the original question...but since the sistem is on a Software raid..can that be possible? | 22:38 |
ActionParsnip | Titomen: not sure, I dont use software raid | 22:39 |
glebihan | ActionParsnip, right :) | 22:39 |
imbezol | Titomen: there are lots of options depending on the problem | 22:39 |
laptop_ | If you use limewire you're going to get a ticket | 22:39 |
imbezol | Titomen: what's going on with the system? | 22:39 |
Nfisher | ActionParsnip, no, neither working | 22:39 |
Titomen | ActionParsnip: imbezol: My concer is that if you image the complete system i believe the raid wont be able to be copy | 22:40 |
imbezol | Titomen: what's the problem with the system? | 22:41 |
Titomen | I was trying to see if anybody uses software raid and has being able to do that | 22:41 |
hydrox24 | Here is my gnome-shell desktop: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6833827/Screenshot%20at%202012-01-19%2009%3A36%3A09.png | 22:41 |
Titomen | imbezol: i have 9.10 would like to upgrade and there is no more support..so i guess i need to do i clean instal..but before that i would like to do an image so if something goes worng, i can go back to my previous state | 22:42 |
hydrox24 | Titomen: Clonezilla? | 22:42 |
=== heinz_ is now known as heinz | ||
imbezol | Titomen: ah.. well the experienced user might do something like toss another harddrive in, add it as a raid 1 mirror, break it off and keep it as a gold copy... or boot off a rescue disk, mount the existing partitions read only and dd image to another drive.. lots of options | 22:43 |
imbezol | Titomen: if you're not that experienced with software raid, then yeah, something like partimage is probably your best bet. it understands linux software raid just fine | 22:44 |
shadaloo | hello | 22:44 |
shadaloo | anyone recommend a tool to convert .avi to a burnable DVD format | 22:44 |
ahammond | I want to install upstart 1.4 on ubuntu 10.10. Haven't seen a PPA. What's the best course of action? | 22:44 |
imbezol | Titomen: you can even just tar up your whole filesystem and save the tar.. if you need to restore you'd just create whatever type partitions you want, extract, fix your fstab if needed, and reinstall your bootloader | 22:45 |
ahammond | s/install/upgrade to/ | 22:45 |
mun | does anyone know how to find my gateway address? | 22:45 |
ahammond | mun: have you looked in /etc/network/config? | 22:45 |
owenll | shadaloo: DeVeDe | 22:45 |
mun | ahammond, i haven't got the config file | 22:45 |
Titomen | imbezol: i am not so experienze...but trying to avoid hre previous type of answer when i came here i read a lot and suposely because of the raid issues there migth be problems..that why i was trying to get some advise? | 22:45 |
ahammond | mun: er… sorry, that would be /etc/network/interfaces | 22:46 |
cypher-neo | shadaloo, videotrans is good, but I'm not sure it accepts AVI. | 22:46 |
mun | ahammond, ah right. well there's no address in it. just auto lo and iface lo inet loopback | 22:46 |
imbezol | Titomen: raid gives you more options if anything | 22:46 |
imbezol | Titomen: don't be scared of it | 22:46 |
ahammond | mun: oh, dhcp? try netstat -nr | grep 0.0.0.0 | 22:46 |
shadaloo | cypher-neo: is it command line | 22:46 |
cypher-neo | shadaloo, Yes, it is. | 22:46 |
imbezol | Titomen: if you really don't want to mess around with losing it.. your best option is to remove the harddrives and install on different ones | 22:46 |
mun | ahammond, yep got something. which row should I look at? the one with UG? | 22:47 |
Jerub | what's the easiest way to install a 3.1+ kernel on ubuntu? I want to use a later version of btrfs. | 22:47 |
imbezol | Titomen: or at least back up your /home directory before trying to upgrade | 22:47 |
hydrox24 | I would just use tar to backup? | 22:47 |
mun | ahammond, basically i'm asking because i'm trying to change the default route from usb0 to wlan0. using sudo route del default && sudo route add default wlan0 doesn't give the new default the UG flag. | 22:47 |
ahammond | mun: the 0.0.0.0 desitination row is the default. look for the gateway in that row. | 22:47 |
mun | ahammond, so i wonder if i'll need sudo route add default gw <gateway> wlan0? | 22:47 |
ahammond | mun: default routes are at the IP layer, not the interface layer. | 22:48 |
cypher-neo | shadaloo, There's also dvdauthor | 22:48 |
Titomen | imbezol: well i gues i can do a backup of the home data also..tehn try part image and if something goes wrong...the worst is to do the iinstallation and configuration.....is clonezilla to differetn form partimage? | 22:48 |
Nfisher | Hi all! is there a possibility to view the stream of a remote box's webcam on the local machine? | 22:48 |
Jerub | mun: /sbin/ip route replace default via $gateway_ip dev wlan0 | 22:48 |
ahammond | mun: you want to be editing that /etc/network/interfaces file. The man page is pretty good for that one. | 22:48 |
shadaloo | cypher-neo: thanks | 22:49 |
imbezol | Titomen: never used clonezilla | 22:49 |
ahammond | Jerub: seriously? coolness has happened recently. :) | 22:49 |
imbezol | Titomen: i've used partimage lots though and it's been solid for me | 22:49 |
mun | basically i have 3 rows when I run netstat -nr | grep 0.0.0.0 | 22:49 |
ahammond | any suggestions about getting upstart 1.4? | 22:49 |
Titomen | imbezol: i try to upgrade, but because i have 9.10..it wont let me do that, that is why ithougth about protection first and then try to do clean isntall | 22:49 |
Nfisher | ..since i dont want to x-forward cheese which is pretty unhandy | 22:49 |
Nfisher | and doenst work well | 22:49 |
Aelingil | Can anyone show me / link to me a walkthrough How to recover a folder that was deleted during a restore? I've tried finding the old files, and they are no where on the system. | 22:50 |
mun | only one row has the UG flag -- so that's the one with the gateway ip? | 22:50 |
imbezol | Titomen: if you download a 10.04 disk and stick it in, it won't let you upgrade? | 22:50 |
Jerub | ahammond, mun: what i really meant was, don't use 'route', use the iproute2/'ip' tool, because it will work better. | 22:50 |
=== Nfisher is now known as mayan | ||
imbezol | Titomen: then you could see if you'll be able to do a "do-release-upgrade" | 22:50 |
Jerub | mun: 'U' means up, 'G' means gateway. | 22:50 |
milamber | !recover | Aelingil | 22:50 |
ubottu | Aelingil: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 22:50 |
Jerub | mun: I would be more interested in the output of 'ip route' | 22:51 |
mun | Jerub, ok. i get: default via 192.168.42.129 dev usb0 proto static | 22:51 |
mun | Jerub, but i'm trying to change it to wlan0 | 22:52 |
Jerub | mun: ip route replace default via 192.168.42.129 dev wlan0 | 22:52 |
Titomen | imbezol: well i am getting a lot of permissions denied and not fetching error, somebody told me i have to do an upgrade..but i do not want to loose andy of my configurations untill i can do that and have the time to repair i something goes wrong | 22:52 |
mun | Jerub, i get "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted" | 22:52 |
Jerub | mun: is wlan0 up? | 22:52 |
Jerub | you might need to do it as root, of course :) | 22:52 |
mun | Jerub, yeah it's up | 22:53 |
mun | Jerub, with sudo I get "RTNETLINK answers: No such process" | 22:53 |
sn00p | When is the next ubuntus release because unity sucks | 22:53 |
imbezol | Titomen: ah.. well i'd be surprised if the CD upgrade way needed to fetch anything | 22:53 |
meerkats | i need a command to scan via terminal, maximum size per scanned page: 1Mb | 22:53 |
ActionParsnip | sn00p: april this year, it is LTS and has Unity | 22:53 |
ActionParsnip | sn00p: try installing XFCE and use that, you don't HAVE TO use Unity | 22:53 |
imbezol | Titomen: i could be wrong though.. :) | 22:54 |
Jerub | mun: that's very strange. please pastebin the output of 'ip route show table all' and 'ip link' and 'ip addr' | 22:54 |
ActionParsnip | sn00p: the package you want for minimal xfce is xfce4 | 22:55 |
mun | Jerub, sure. | 22:55 |
JakeH | Hello, I am a newby at Ubuntu, just started a couple of weeks ago ... I am getting used to the command line but there is still something I don't understand properly: in most guides/manuals/documentation online the instructions about command line actions are always given without "sudo", but when I execute them I usually always get "Permission denied", which I understand, as I need super user priveliges to execute certain actions, but no | 22:55 |
meerkats | what will for i in `seq 1 800`; do scanimage > image$i.png; sleep 2; done; | 22:55 |
meerkats | do? | 22:55 |
sn00p | Unity is great but it does weird things like close my terminals and other stuff | 22:55 |
mun | Jerub, here you go: http://pastebin.com/gsFA07vL | 22:55 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: is your user in the admin group? | 22:55 |
JakeH | not mention "sudo", while on command line, it is required? I was under the impression logging in as a super user is a bad idea and you should (almost) always opt for sudo as it is safer. Could someone explain this to me? | 22:55 |
zorklat | Grub hanged on boot; unknown file system. | 22:56 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: scan 800 images afaik, with the filename having the number, with a 2 second pause between | 22:56 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: once the OS is setup, you will need it very rarely | 22:56 |
Wargasm | sn00p: like ActionParsnip said, you're not stuck to Unity... there are many other environments to choose from... I like LXDE myself | 22:57 |
meerkats | "for i in `seq 1 80`; do scanimage > image$i.png; sleep 4; done;" where should I specify the output format? png, jpg | 22:57 |
ActionParsnip | Wargasm: lxde +1 | 22:57 |
meerkats | a sorry | 22:57 |
meerkats | re read it | 22:57 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: ;) | 22:57 |
JakeH | hmm, I got disconnected, did anyone answer my question yet? | 22:57 |
meerkats | ActionParsnip, how do I limit the size to 1 MB maximum? | 22:57 |
ratcheer | I am giving gnome-shell a long tryout. | 22:58 |
ActionParsnip | meerkats: not sure | 22:58 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: yes, I replied | 22:58 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: once you setup the OS, sudo is used very rarely | 22:58 |
cypher-neo | ratcheer, Need any help with gnome-shell? | 22:58 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: is your user in the admin group? | 22:58 |
Jerub | mun: okay, so you're on a different /24 on the wlan and the usb devices. | 22:58 |
sn00p | ActionParsnip, how do I switch environments ? and which ones are there | 22:59 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, I am guessing it is not, I am using a fresh install and didn't really do anything to my user after that ... | 22:59 |
zorklat | where can I go for help with grub>? I'm getting "hd0: out of disk" and "unknown file system" instead. | 22:59 |
mun | Jerub, ah right. so is there anything i should do differently? | 22:59 |
ActionParsnip | sn00p: log off and you choose it at login screen using cog | 22:59 |
Jerub | mun: and you've got a dud route on the wlan0 device without a gateway, remove that first. | 22:59 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, as I said, I am still a nooby so I must be missing that, and that's probably why I'm sudo' ing all the time | 22:59 |
Jerub | ip route delete default | 22:59 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: if you run: groups what is output? | 22:59 |
Jerub | mun: you need to find the ip of the gateway on the wireless network, and use that. | 22:59 |
Jerub | ip route add default via $correct_ip dev wlan0 | 22:59 |
psusi | zorklat, sounds like your drive is borked... can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -lu? | 23:00 |
mun | Jerub, where $correct_ip is 192.168.42.129? | 23:00 |
ratcheer | cypher-neo: No thanks. Everyone was just talking about what DE's they are using. | 23:00 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, well, it says I am part of it ... | 23:00 |
bencc | what file should I edit to add something to a user's PATH? | 23:00 |
Jerub | mun: unknown, that's your network, but that's in the right range. | 23:00 |
Jerub | er, not the right range. | 23:00 |
cypher-neo | ratcheer, Ah! I use GNOME-Shell as well. :) | 23:00 |
Jerub | it's got to be 192.168.1.XX | 23:01 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, my name and then: adm, dialout, cdrom, plugdev, lpadmin, admin, sambashare ... | 23:01 |
mun | Jerub, hmm how do I find out the right gateway ip? | 23:01 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: then sudo will work, type your password (you will get no feedback) and hit ENTER and you can run admin tasks and get all the access you need | 23:01 |
psusi | bencc, their ~/.profile | 23:01 |
Jerub | anyway, someone got a hint on where i can apt-get a 3.1 or 3.2 kernel from? | 23:01 |
=== alexey is now known as Koterpillar | ||
Jerub | mun: dhcp is a popular way :) | 23:01 |
Jerub | which should autoconfigure everyting :) | 23:01 |
bencc | psusi: thanks | 23:02 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, I can do everything, it's just that I have to do "sudo" in front of (almost) every command I do ... while in online guides etc you never see sudo in the command ... | 23:02 |
mun | Jerub, ok i'd better install it | 23:03 |
zorklat | what's the preferred pastebin? | 23:03 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: some commands don't need it, you only need sudo to change tings outside of your home folder, like updates and so on | 23:03 |
cypher-neo | zorklat, Any pastebin that doesn't multiline it in chat. | 23:03 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, for example, when I want to edit a file I'd have to do sudo nano ... instead of just nano, when I want to install a package with apt-get I' ll have to do sudo, removing, renaming, moving, all that requires sudo. Is that how it's supposed to be? | 23:03 |
ActionParsnip | zorklat: any, one isn't preferred over aother | 23:03 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, ah, that's probably why then, I've been mostly working in a folder I created in my root for development (switched to linux for development purposes) | 23:04 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: if you are using nano to edit outside of home then yes, you will need sudo | 23:04 |
Wargasm | JakeH: I think I sudo everything also lol | 23:04 |
zorklat | ok, fdisk lu at http://pastebin.com/bxcniRpJ | 23:04 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: if you run: sudo -i you will get an (i)nteractive sudo and not have to type it until you type: exit | 23:04 |
psusi | zorklat, holy crap, why so many partitions? ;) | 23:05 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, so for that terminal session I am root so to say? | 23:05 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: effectively, yes | 23:05 |
zorklat | 4 distros w/ /boot, /, and /home and one for wine, and one for all my files. | 23:05 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: but its slightly easier to break your OS | 23:06 |
alien2050 | ne1 knows if (and where) I can configure my X session to start on a specific display ie CTRL-ALT-F3 for example ? | 23:06 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, thanks a bunch for clearing that up for me ... I was thinking I was doing something wrong for a moment. And yeah, I read about super user and why you should avoid being a permanent super user (breaking OS indeed) | 23:06 |
alien2050 | instead of ctrl-alt-f7 which is default... | 23:07 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, one more thing though, is it normal that apt-get/cache etc require sudo too? | 23:07 |
psusi | zorklat, goodness! why not share one /home? or use LVM to manage that second disk as well? anyhow, which one is the boot drive? also let's get some more info... download and run this script and pastebin the results plz: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ | 23:07 |
mun | Jerub, thanks a lot for the help | 23:07 |
ActionParsnip | JakeH: yes as the command updates the files for your apps, which are outside your home | 23:08 |
zorklat | sdb is boot drive. | 23:08 |
CharminTheMoose | Why does upstart have .conf files for mounting sys and proc, when the initrd does it already? | 23:08 |
CharminTheMoose | running 11.04 here | 23:08 |
Titomen | imbezol: but you agree that will be good to have an image of it before doing that? | 23:08 |
JakeH | ActionParsnip, aha ok, yeah figured as much, just wanted to check! Thanks :-) I will be off doing some more nooby nerdy stuff now :P | 23:08 |
sn00p | ActionParsnip, if I chose something else than unity will gnome still be the main one? | 23:09 |
charly_ | hi all | 23:09 |
ActionParsnip | sn00p: if you log into XFCE, XFCE will be the 'main one' but your gnome apps will be runnable | 23:09 |
dannelSOPA | halo | 23:09 |
ActionParsnip | sn00p: xfce is made using gtk too.... | 23:09 |

hydrox24 | well, I gotta go, cya all! | 23:13 |
charly_ | where are you came frome? | 23:15 |
mun | Jerub, although i can change it with your command, it reverts back to usb0 after a bit for some reason. | 23:15 |
psusi | zorklat, it looks like you installed grub using blocklists... you sholdn't do that... you might want to reinstall grub | 23:16 |
zorklat | psusi, ok, how would I do that from the live disk? | 23:16 |
psusi | zorklat, which install do you want to own grub? | 23:17 |
zorklat | psusi, ubuntu. is this thread on the right track? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 23:18 |
psusi | zorklat, that's a very large and old thread, but if it tells you to mount your root fs ( of whichever OS you want to own grub ), chroot into it, and run grub-install, then that's what you need to do ;) | 23:20 |
=== adrian is now known as Guest51557 | ||
psusi | zorklat, run grub-install /dev/sdb that is | 23:20 |
* zorklat goes off to learn about chroot. | 23:21 | |
psusi | zorklat, also if your ubuntu install is in an lvm volume, you'll need to install the lvm2 packge on the livecd to recognize it | 23:22 |
zorklat | psusi, nope, no lvm | 23:22 |
mvdk | What's the process for submitting a new package? I have packaged JBIG-KIT in a PPA, and wish to submit it | 23:22 |
psusi | zorklat, hrm... which partition is your ubuntu install that you want to be the main os? | 23:22 |
zorklat | psusi, sdb3. | 23:23 |
psusi | zorklat, hrm... beause the grub currently installed is looking for a volume with a uuid not found there, so I assume it is an lvm volume that isn't being recognized | 23:24 |
=== Odaym is now known as Sicp | ||
mvdk | psusi, grub2 knows how to read LVM - grub does not | 23:25 |
zorklat | grrr. it may be hunting on sda, which ought not be boot flagged at all! | 23:25 |
psusi | zorklat, anyhow, mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt, mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev, mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys, mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc, chroot /mnt, then grub-install /dev/sdb should do it | 23:25 |
benyuss | hello guys. anybody can help for me? i have issues with my ati radeon 200m card driver. | 23:25 |
psusi | mvdk, right | 23:26 |
Titomen | imbezol: i just try partimage on systemrescucd, this is what i see i see the sda1 sdb1 sdc1 sda2 sdb2 sdc2 sda5 sdb5 sdc5 sda6 sdb6 sdc6 sda7 sdb7 sdc7 and then i see the md124 md125 md126 md127..which interestly the last one should correspord to the assemby raids md0 md1 md2 md3...Why it has that diefretn configuration and is this something that on retore should be change? | 23:26 |
psusi | zorklat, the boot flag only means anything to the dos/windows boot loader | 23:26 |
mvdk | benyuss, have you installed the proprietary driver, or the open source one? And what is the nature of your problem | 23:26 |
mvdk | Titomen, the numbers on the mds mean almost nothing on a different installation | 23:27 |
mvdk | Titomen, they are assigned by udev | 23:28 |
Captain_Crow | hello | 23:28 |
benyuss | mvdk: yes i was installed proprietary driver but its looks like doesn't works because when i tried to run ati catalyst center it says i haven't any ati driver so i must to configure with aticonfig or install a driver.. but i was installed it with the catalyst center. | 23:28 |
Titomen | mvdk: so when i do a restore of the software raid i can keep the new name md124 or should i change it to what it was md0 | 23:28 |
Autoeth | hoping someone in here can explain when i issue command ip tunnel add (name of my choice ) i get a new interface but on top of that i also get an automatic interface sit0 why is linux doing this . | 23:28 |
zorklat | let this be a lesson to y'all, btw: do NOT hibernate from LDM with an account logged in! | 23:29 |
Captain_Crow | how do i add more sides to the cube in 11.10? | 23:29 |
mvdk | Titomen, whatever you put udev will be what you get | 23:29 |
mvdk | benyuss, what hardware was it again? | 23:29 |
psusi | zorklat, huh? | 23:29 |
mvdk | benyuss, What does lspci call it? | 23:30 |
benyuss | mvdk: ati radeon 200m | 23:30 |
zorklat | psusi, that's when the problems started. | 23:30 |
zorklat | psusi, also: http://pastebin.com/qVhgiajQ | 23:30 |
psusi | zorklat, this didn't happen after installing a new os? that's weird | 23:30 |
mvdk | Autoeth, suggest you look at the Documentation directory in the Linux sources. | 23:30 |
imbezol | Titomen: it doesn't matter what they show up as in partimage.. they will still be whatever they were originally after restoration | 23:30 |
zorklat | psusi, I wound up blanking the entire disk and repartitioning it with cfdisk from the issues arising from trying that. | 23:31 |
Titomen | so when i do a complete system backup i should copy eveything, now if i just want ot image the date which is md3 or md127, do i also have to copy sda7 sdb7 sdc7? | 23:31 |
psusi | zorklat, ohh, crap... your sdb1 partition starts on sector 30... that's goofy... it should start at least at sector 63, if not 2048 | 23:31 |
Titomen | sorry the data | 23:31 |
oldIT781 | Anyone have a minute to help with a Ubuntu 11.04 ati graphics card question? | 23:32 |
mvdk | benyuss, does the open driver not work? | 23:32 |
psusi | zorklat, maybe you can use gparted to move the start of that partition over a hair? | 23:32 |
zorklat | psusi, ok. well, I'll go and fix that. there's nothing I'm afraid to lose on sda1, as everything is also on sda. | 23:32 |
mvdk | benyuss, see "http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_Radeon_Xpress_200M" | 23:33 |
zorklat | er, nothing I'm afraid lose on sdb1 | 23:33 |
mvdk | benyuss, the proprietary driver has not supported your chip for some time now | 23:33 |
occupant | So I have some VMs that are going to be fucked-upon-reboot because /boot ran out of space upon a kernel upgrade. If I clear space on /boot and try to reinstall the latest kernel fresh, would I just want the linux-image package or more stuff? | 23:34 |
mvdk | benyuss, that driver is by AMD/ATI, and nothing can really be done about it | 23:34 |
=== milind is now known as abyss42 | ||
benyuss | mvdk: i dont know.. i know only 2 things.. : when i enter to the hardware drivers menu it's full empty.. 2: i must to upgrade my driver because sometimes my screen is frozen, at youtube the videos is lagging on 1080p and i cant play with my favourite game.. on windows i haven't these problems:/ | 23:34 |
PureRumble | Hi all! Running 11.10! I want to have multiple login sessions for the same user, is it possible? | 23:35 |
psusi | occupant, good reason not to use a separate /boot partition... yes, reinstalling the linux-image-xxx package should do it | 23:35 |
mvdk | benyuss, you could try the latest open source drivers | 23:35 |
oldIT781 | If I am using the propritary Ati/nvidia drivers with a ati 5750 card does that mean it will still read a xorg.conf file? | 23:35 |
mvdk | There is a PPA for them | 23:35 |
benyuss | mvdk: where i can find them? | 23:36 |
benyuss | mvdk: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_Radeon_Xpress_200M it will be doesn't work? | 23:36 |
mvdk | benyuss, your googlefu is waning. I'll google it, but some of what we do is trying to teach you how to catch fish... | 23:36 |
mvdk | benyuss, The latest *proprietary* drivers do not work | 23:37 |
* oldIT781 looks for a que to stand in. | 23:37 | |
benyuss | mvdk: ok i see. im looking for an open source driver. pls wait | 23:38 |
zorklat | psusi, a few megs should do the trick? | 23:38 |
mvdk | benyuss, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/drivers-only | 23:38 |
Myrtti | oldIT781: it will read it if such exists - but it doesn't necessarily do | 23:38 |
psusi | zorklat, just one will do... grub needs like 55 sectors or so | 23:38 |
Jerub | mun: sounds like you're running NetworkManager or something | 23:39 |
mvdk | oldIT781, you're looking for an xorg.conf? Recent ubuntus don't make one | 23:39 |
benyuss | mvdk: which version i need? | 23:39 |
oldIT781 | Myrtti: Thanks! I just switched from a nvidia card to an ATI card. I used to add a line that inverted my screen. | 23:39 |
occupant | ati proprietary would still use xorg.conf | 23:40 |
mvdk | benyuss, Sorry, put the wrong thing there, just looked at the dates | 23:40 |
oldIT781 | mvdk: I just want to have my screen inverted. I can create one using a template from the nvidia xorg.conf i had. I just want to know if its going to break anything. | 23:40 |

psusi | zima, what's the driver? | 23:44 |
psusi | zima, is it p4-clockmod? | 23:45 |

zima | i'm fscked then | 23:45 |
oldIT781 | does anyone know if the xorg.conf line "RandRRotation" will work with the proprietary ATI driver? | 23:45 |
psusi | zima, why do you say that? | 23:45 |
benyuss | mvdk: if i will install it my video performance will be as on windows? so i will can run 1080p videos without lag? | 23:46 |
mvdk | oldIT781: Why not try it? | 23:46 |
zima | psusi: i've read that it's a kernel bug and i even compiled 3.2.1 kernel on this machine, it took more than 2 hours | 23:46 |
mvdk | benyuss: No one can say for sure - I don't use an X200M | 23:46 |

jurua | hi | 23:47 |
zima | psusi: kthx | 23:47 |
jurua | you | 23:47 |
psusi | zima, nope, not a bug... that driver doesn't actually scale the cpu frequency, it just stalls the cpu part of the time... so they intentionally made the scaling governor refuse to use it | 23:47 |
oldIT781 | mvdk: because im scared my display wont work. | 23:47 |
mvdk | benyuss: No probs | 23:47 |
