| niksoft | sigh, i'll kick around some channels in a bit then, see if i can catch some server or kernel guys | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | resus: Follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 00:03 |
| urlin2u | resus, in the mbr generally, can you run this script and pastebin the results.txt. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 00:03 |
| urlin2u | resus, check the link Jordan_U gave first though that may do it | 00:04 |
| resus | http://pastebin.com/B4kvu8NC | 00:05 |
| resus | so this is what the system is supposed to look like | 00:06 |
| resus | this boots | 00:06 |
| resus | can you tell me where exactly is grub supposed to be installed from this output? | 00:06 |
| resus | there is /boot on /dev/sda2 | 00:07 |
| resus | and /boot/efi on /dev/sda1 | 00:07 |
| urlin2u | resus, pesonally I'm not familiar with efi, or lvm sorry | 00:09 |
| resus | it clearly says no bootloader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda | 00:09 |

| CT1 | Hi all. Is there a package (or a feature in audacity) that plays a certain tone... changeable (subtly) via a GUI slider? I'm interested in finding out the frequency of the (yes, I may be "mental") constant buzz/hum I hear. It's essential in deciding if I should be "committed" or if the tone is related to UK AC frequency and its harmonics. | 00:55 |
| genesisbot | Hello everyone | 00:56 |

| Rayston | kinda a pain | 01:00 |
| alien2050 | CT1: have a look at ladspa, there's a lot of plugins available and one is a tone generator | 01:00 |
| CT1 | genesisbot: Thankfully the humorous side of my question was duly noted. The subtle hint of it being a real question was perhaps lost in it's "insanity" | 01:01 |

| orlok | CT1: just that it would let you have a physical, battery powered tone generator, with physical knobs/sliders to control it | 01:22 |
| fancybone | or, okay, let's settle for disabling the "warnings as errors" when running ./configure | 01:24 |

| GRMrGecko | Let me ask the most asked question. Can you install Office 2010 on Ubuntu using wine? I read problems with the installer and read about workarounds such as copying the disk on windows than mounting it on linux. | 01:47 |
| MadHaTTrr | libreoffice | 01:48 |
| Rukoroz | no way to copy messages from console :(( | 01:48 |

| tessarakt | but MySQL does not accept the set password afterwards :-( | 01:48 |
| ohHaiImTawm | Rukoroz: you might be able to dig through /var/log/syslog | 01:48 |
| MadHaTTrr | no need for M$ Office when "sudo apt-get install libreoffice" does everything you need | 01:48 |
| Rukoroz | ohHaiImTawm: wait, is too much?? | 01:48 |
| Rukoroz | hmm | 01:48 |
| lowkie | tessarakt, flush-priviledges | 01:48 |

| Rukoroz | think i will run dmesg, is that great? | 01:48 |
| Rukoroz | ok | 01:49 |
| GRMrGecko | Also... It doesn't fit Accounting needs. | 01:49 |
| MadHaTTrr | make sure you save with compatibility settings | 01:49 |
| ohHaiImTawm | dmesg should work too | 01:49 |
| GRMrGecko | MadHaTTrr: What? | 01:49 |
| tessarakt | lowkie: so restarting the mysql server is not enough? | 01:49 |
| Rukoroz | ohHaiImTawm: how i paste all of it directly to pastebin?? | 01:49 |
| MadHaTTrr | When you save, make sure you don't save it in libreoffice's .osd format | 01:49 |
| tessarakt | I wonder why dpkg-reconfigure does not do that?! | 01:49 |
| ohHaiImTawm | copy and paste | 01:49 |
| lowkie | tessarakt, that will work too | 01:49 |
| MadHaTTrr | there are several legacy options to save the files | 01:49 |

| ohHaiImTawm | Rukoroz: if you have network connectivity it will | 01:51 |
| tessarakt | that's what dpkg-reconfigure does afterwards | 01:51 |
| Rukoroz | yeah :) | 01:51 |
| GRMrGecko | It's can I run Microsoft Office 2010. | 01:51 |
| GRMrGecko | Should I download Trial and test? | 01:51 |
| almoxarife | GRMrGecko: why not try the install with wine, worse case it crashes | 01:52 |
| MadHaTTrr | ^^ | 01:52 |

| tessarakt | yes - but the Ubuntu way would be dpkg-reconfigure | 01:53 |
| xangua | !backtrack | MadHaTTrr | 01:53 |
| ubottu | MadHaTTrr: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| tessarakt | UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root'; - I can try again, but that DID NOT work for me | 01:53 |
| yabai | lol | 01:53 |
| genesisbot | i use backtrack | 01:53 |
| tessarakt | because there was no root user in that table | 01:53 |
| MadHaTTrr | don't wanna register | 01:54 |
| lowkie | tessarakt, what user do you use then? | 01:54 |
| Rukoroz | almoxarife: wait, what's the package name of that? | 01:54 |
| bazhang | MadHaTTrr, bt is not supported here. please dont ask again | 01:54 |
| MadHaTTrr | genesisbot, what GRUB version do you run? | 01:54 |
| tessarakt | hu? | 01:54 |
| almoxarife | Rukoroz: pastebinit | 01:54 |
| tessarakt | none, yet | 01:54 |
| Rukoroz | ohHaiImTawm: hmm, dmesg is fine? | 01:54 |
| tessarakt | I'm just trying to set up MySQL | 01:54 |
| Rukoroz | because errors are there :P | 01:55 |
| MadHaTTrr | my question is not so much a question about BT5, but upgrading GRUB | 01:55 |
| bazhang | MadHaTTrr, #backtrack-linux | 01:55 |
| lowkie | tessarakt, a root user is created by default. It's in the mysql database, in the user table. | 01:55 |
| rypervenche | MadHaTTrr: Why do you want to upgrade? | 01:55 |
| MadHaTTrr | it conflicts with my Ubuntu 11.10 ext HDD | 01:55 |
| almoxarife | rypervenche: !ot | 01:55 |

| Rukoroz | almoxarife: to enable this in livecd | 01:58 |
| almoxarife | rypervenche: no, you wont, not if is not related to ubuntu | 01:58 |

| googler32 | Hi, I downloaded the 64 bit iso for ubuntu - on a computer that support LM cpuflags aka 64 bit. However upon installing it still shows at i686 | 02:09 |
| jaar | hola !!! | 02:09 |
| h00k | googler32: yeah, it may be i686, but that doesn't mean it's a 64bit | 02:10 |
| === arif-ali is now known as arif-ali|afk | ||
| googler32 | h00k: Well actually it means it's not. | 02:10 |
| googler32 | My question is why is this happening despite my processor support 64bit and me having used the 64 bit iso | 02:10 |
| ohHaiImTawm | Rukoroz: I need to get going but investigate the other hard drive utility that was mentioned to you and run that on the hard drive while its unmounted to see if it can repair the bad sectors | 02:11 |
| blackshirt | what is the mean "no caching" on description of tinyproxy http proxy server ? | 02:11 |
| psusi | googler32, what shows i686? | 02:11 |
| xangua | googler32: uname -m ; what does it show¿ | 02:11 |
| Rukoroz | ohHaiImTawm: ok, but im not able to run that if repo for that is universal, because livecd have that disabled :( | 02:12 |
| Rukoroz | ohHaiImTawm: im trying to fix this using livecd, is all i got here :) | 02:12 |
| googler32 | xangua: i686 | 02:12 |
| psusi | googler32, then you didn't download and install the 64bit version... | 02:12 |
| googler32 | Im going to recheck but I know I did! | 02:12 |
| xangua | googler32: then you downloaded and installed the 32bit ubuntu version | 02:13 |
| lowkie | x86_64 | 02:13 |
| googler32 | I suppose so | 02:13 |
| googler32 | bbiab | 02:13 |
| xangua | googler32: it can't change magically ;) | 02:13 |
| ohHaiImTawm | Rukoroz: hrm can you try installing it from a tarball from the utilitie's website? It'll take more time than an apt-get but it may work | 02:13 |
| h00k | HOOKAY. | 02:13 |
| h00k | *caps. | 02:13 |
| Rukoroz | cmon, i don't wanna lose all files, if im not able, then i gotta format this :( | 02:13 |

| Rukoroz | ohHaiImTawm: ok, and sorry the pastebin is cut, sure, imma inst in other ways :) | 02:14 |
| Rukoroz | psusi: lol, how to enable it on livecd 11.10? | 02:14 |
| Rukoroz | ohHaiImTawm: link? | 02:14 |
| psusi | Rukoroz, either by ticking the box to enable it in synaptic or editing /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:15 |
| xangua | Rukoroz: Software Center, Edirt, Sources | 02:15 |
| Rukoroz | ohHaiImTawm: and please let it be not too complicated :) | 02:15 |

| redlegoreng | Hi ! I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 32 bits on my new W520. I'm not sure however if the graphic card (Nvidia Quadro 2000m). The propritery driver seems to be activated by default, but i still get Unity2D only. What should I do ? | 02:40 |
| pdg1 | redlegoreng: are you loging in automatically? ie. does it prompt you for a password when you turn the comp on? | 02:41 |
| pdg1 | logging* | 02:41 |
| redlegoreng | yes | 02:41 |
| ariane5 | my mind can work with windows does can change it ? | 02:43 |
| pdg1 | have you tried logging out and logging in selecting (under session) Ubuntu? | 02:43 |
| pdg1 | assuming Ubuntu is an option instead of Ubuntu 2D | 02:43 |
| redlegoreng | i'll try that ! | 02:44 |
| redlegoreng | maybe i overlooked the option | 02:44 |
| pdg1 | redlegoreng: otherwise I'm pretty sure there's a file somewhere that defines the default session | 02:44 |
| RichardWinters | I have a question about IRC server freenode | 02:44 |
| RichardWinters | does the server has permitted the use of Bouncer ? | 02:45 |
| ariane5 | good work with webchat | 02:45 |
| Zaukox | hello, how i can fix/scan the HDD with testdisk? | 02:46 |
| Zaukox | i got 66 bad clusters.... | 02:46 |
| pdg1 | RichardWinters: unsure. i found this tho http://ericholscher.com/blog/2010/nov/5/using-znc-irc-bouncer/ | 02:47 |
| RichardWinters | cuak ! | 02:47 |
| Zaukox | anyone??? | 02:49 |
| somsip | Zaukox: Have you done a backup yet? | 02:49 |
| Rango | does ubuntu use LVM yet? | 02:49 |
| RichardWinters | thats what i was talking about, thanks pdg1 | 02:49 |
| pdg1 | redlegoreng: you still there? | 02:49 |
| redlegoreng | yes | 02:49 |
| RichardWinters | its time to reboot and learn ubuntu | 02:49 |
| * RichardWinters is scared | 02:49 | |
| Zaukox | somsip: nope, and it's badly corrupted, im on livecd, cannot run any system in hdd | 02:49 |
| redlegoreng | there's the ubuntu or unbutu 2d option | 02:49 |
| redlegoreng | however, even if i select ubuntu, it is ubuntu 2d that loads | 02:50 |
| somsip | Zaukox: I strongly recommend a backup as your first priority. You might do more damage in trying to repair bad blocks, and that number of bad blocks might indicate an impending HD failure | 02:50 |
| pdg1 | hmmm | 02:50 |
| Zaukox | redlegoreng: that's because the graphics do not support ubuntu but it supports u2d | 02:51 |
| pdg1 | redlegoreng: just wondering, have you used ubuntu before? is this your first time? should I be gentle? | 02:51 |
| redlegoreng | yes it's my first time :) | 02:51 |
| pdg1 | okay... | 02:52 |
| Zaukox | somsip: ok, i got 66 bad clusters from smart info, im not able to use gparted, and im kind of stuck in testdisk.... | 02:52 |
| pdg1 | redlegoreng: you said you just installed it on a W-something | 02:52 |
| pdg1 | what was it? | 02:52 |
| redlegoreng | w520 | 02:52 |
| pdg1 | laptop of some kind? | 02:53 |
| Zaukox | somsip: and zero backups, what the point of backuping a corrupted disk? | 02:53 |
| redlegoreng | yes | 02:53 |
| Zaukox | somsip: idea? | 02:53 |
| somsip | Zaukox: because you have files on there that you want to keep, I assume. If you attempt to fix the bad blocks and lose all data on the disk, you might wish you'd done a backup first. And don't spam me. Give me chance to type | 02:53 |
| Zaukox | somsip: ok, sorry :P, yeah, i got two OS there. and nonee of them im able to boot, is a pain starting over, Really.... | 02:54 |
| pdg1 | redlegoreng: could be that there's some restricted graphics drivers that you need to install. or even some updates that need to take plac | 02:54 |
| somsip | Zaukox: I understand, but it happens. You could just go ahead and do a disk repair and be fine, but there is always a risk | 02:55 |
| redlegoreng | yes i have been googling for a while, but i didnt find clear information | 02:55 |
| pdg1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedDrivers there's some info on restricted drivers | 02:56 |
| pdg1 | who's the manufacter? | 02:56 |
| slicknick5181 | Has anyone had experience with LTSP? | 02:56 |
| pdg1 | n/m lenovo | 02:56 |
| pdg1 | I'm assuming | 02:56 |
| redlegoreng | yes | 02:56 |
| redlegoreng | in system settings / additional drivers, it seems that some addition driver are already installed and running | 02:57 |

| DarkStar1 | becquse I either have an OS bug or I have a bug triggered by service provider's caching issues | 03:05 |
| pdg1 | redlegoreng: i dont' think that one will help, sorry... I just realized that it does the same thing you did by logging out and trying to change the session | 03:06 |

| Zaukox | awww lol | 03:13 |
| redlegoreng | ok, thanks for your help | 03:14 |
| Zaukox | aff, somsip that google search is not verry useful for me.... | 03:14 |
| somsip | Zaukox: maybe it will inspire you to try different combinations of words. I was sat here googling for you and all you were doing was repeating the same question in IRC. Go figure. | 03:15 |
| Zaukox | lol ok | 03:15 |
| acerimmer | Zaukox: see here: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-checkrepair-fsck-filesystem.html | 03:15 |
| somsip | Zaukox: Like I said, I'm no expert. I understand fsck is the tool for the job. Beyond that, you need someone else to help, or to find out a little more yourself. I'm out | 03:15 |
| Zaukox | yeah, i don't know to use fsck :( | 03:16 |
| TiMiDo | Zaukox, man fsck | 03:17 |
| TiMiDo | ;) | 03:17 |
| Jeremy3D | Trying to run dual monitors, one an actual comptuer monitor and one a tv with a vga output. getting error "required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2880, 900), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600)" | 03:17 |
| Jeremy3D | but i really dont understand what it's asking for | 03:17 |
| Jeremy3D | they're both currently set to 1440X900 | 03:18 |
| Jeremy3D | oh | 03:18 |
| Jeremy3D | so the total can't be above 1600 ? | 03:18 |
| acerimmer | Jeremy3D: does vga tv output @1440x900? | 03:19 |
| Jeremy3D | honestly not sure. i'll have to look the model up | 03:19 |
| Zaukox | TiMiDo: yeah, that does not make any trick here :( that does not have info about how to run a FULL hard disk check+repair.... | 03:19 |
| dasnbob | have a problem with unity upgrade | 03:20 |
| TiMiDo | Zaukox, read about it on the man page | 03:20 |
| Zaukox | Jeremy3D: maybe u are no able to do extended dual screen because 1440+1440 excceds the limit, can it be? | 03:20 |
| Jeremy3D | it just says Resolution 1366 x 768 but i'm not sure if that's for the tv or the vga | 03:21 |
| acerimmer | Jeremy3D: that's the exact resolution of my dell laptop... | 03:21 |
| harris | what do i type to shutdown the linux systme | 03:22 |
| dasnbob | would like some help fixing some items broken during 11.10 upgrade from 11.04 in classic mode | 03:22 |
| somsip | harris: sudo shutdown -h now | 03:22 |
| Zaukox | TiMiDo: im so noob, too bad i cannot even find a way out to make up the full scan, can it be /dev/sda? | 03:22 |
| hiexpo | Jeremy3D, thats the fes of your laptop | 03:22 |
| hiexpo | ^res | 03:22 |
| Zaukox | harris: or, sudo halt | 03:22 |
| TiMiDo | Zaukox, then type, in google fsck tutorial | 03:23 |
| acerimmer | harris: sudo init 0 | 03:23 |
| TiMiDo | you'll find 1000 of manuals | 03:23 |
| Zaukox | TiMiDo: oh well | 03:23 |
| Hiz | Question:i still dont know why ubuntu change repository everytime they release. example, what is essentially difference between lucid repo and Oneiric repo? | 03:24 |
| Ben64 | Hiz: they're different versions.. | 03:25 |
| Hiz | Ben64: thx reply. but lucid repo also update everyday.. | 03:26 |
| dasnbob | I believe there were major changes in code language between 9 and 11 (lucid and oneric) | 03:26 |
| Zaukox | im not even able to use fsck! :( | 03:26 |
| Zaukox | really, im not able to get any soft check and fix /dev/sda!! | 03:26 |
| franzks | Everytime I start up Ubuntu, the brightness is always at full and the wifi and bluetooth are always on even if I turned them off before. Why is that? I'm on an Acer 4740 notebook running Oneiric | 03:26 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: why can't you fsck | 03:26 |
| VectorX | hi, i am trying to put the 'ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso' iso on a pendrive but cant find the option on 'Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.7.8' can someone point me to what i should do ?, with unetbootin when installing it downloads most of the files again from the net so thats not working well | 03:27 |
| Zaukox | fsck.ext2: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda | 03:27 |
| ubluntu | Zaukox: is it mounted ..? | 03:27 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: you need to have the partition not mounted in order to check it | 03:27 |
| Zaukox | i ran this sudo fsck -MV /dev/sda -- -a -y | 03:27 |
| Zaukox | yes, is NOT mounted | 03:28 |
| theorem | curious, I want to upgrade my video card, but the X config flickers when it tries to load the old drivers, is there a way to back down to non-accelerated drivers ( using beryl) so I could al least get to the GUI ? | 03:28 |
| Zaukox | and im trying to scan the whole disk | 03:28 |
| ubluntu | uh. idk try doing one at a tim | 03:28 |
| nanoguy | vectorx: u may boot with same cd on virtual box and startup disk creater tool | 03:28 |
| Zaukox | that's why sda, not sdaN | 03:28 |
| dasnbob | guess most of the tech help went home............. | 03:28 |
| * theorem sighs | 03:29 | |
| theorem | Zaukox: what are you trying to do ? | 03:29 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: pastebin the following: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and "mount" | 03:29 |
| Zaukox | scan and fix the whole disk, im on live cd | 03:29 |
| theorem | 'fix' ? | 03:29 |
| theorem | fsck ? | 03:29 |
| VectorX | nanoguy ok ty | 03:29 |
| theorem | fsck -y / | 03:29 |
| theorem | or ... | 03:29 |
| theorem | you have to do it a partition at a time | 03:30 |
| theorem | or write a script to drive it | 03:30 |
| zykotick9 | VectorX: have you tried using cat to the device? not sure if alternate is a hybrid-cd or not, it should be. | 03:30 |
| Zaukox | theorem: im trying to scan the whole disk, smart says that i got 66 bad clusters, and im not able to use gparted | 03:30 |
| theorem | for i in 1..3 then \ fsck -i /dev/sda$i \ end | 03:30 |
| VectorX | zykotick9 trying on windows, ill give a shot to nanoguy's suggestion | 03:31 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: pastebin the following: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and "mount" | 03:31 |
| VectorX | also how do you change the dash to the normal gnome file menu sort of thing | 03:31 |
| theorem | VectorX: that's on google | 03:31 |
| Zaukox | ok ben | 03:31 |
| VectorX | theorem couldnt really find it, but ill try again once i get this disk going | 03:32 |
| theorem | 'it' ? | 03:32 |
| Zaukox | why fdisk ben? | 03:32 |
| VectorX | how do change the dash to the menu sstem | 03:32 |
| VectorX | system | 03:32 |
| theorem | fdisk shows him the partitions | 03:32 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: to see the partitions | 03:32 |
| Zaukox | oh | 03:33 |
| theorem | Zaukox: it's just as easy to mount / and cat /etc/fstab | 03:33 |
| Zaukox | oh | 03:33 |
| Ben64 | theorem: not really | 03:33 |
| theorem | just fsck /dev/sda1 first (likely / ) | 03:33 |
| theorem | Ben64: meh .. depends how bad the drive is :) | 03:33 |
| * theorem lets Ben64 drive. | 03:34 | |
| samijam | Does anybody know where, in Ubuntu 11.10, I can set the Guest session to use gnome-shell by default, and set other guest session defaults? | 03:34 |
| Zaukox | tada: ran all of it and pasted -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/810332/ | 03:34 |
| Zaukox | frogot mount :( | 03:35 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: i think you mean you forgot fdisk | 03:35 |
| Zaukox | http://paste.ubuntu.com/810333/ | 03:35 |
| Ben64 | nothing changed | 03:35 |
| Zaukox | shows nothing | 03:35 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: "fdisk -l /dev/sda" shows nothing? | 03:36 |

| Zaukox | http://paste.ubuntu.com/810334/ | 03:36 |
| harris | my laptop used to boot linux from CD, now it will not boot any of my linux cds, it goes straight to windows. I have bios setup correctly. nothing is wrong with the cds. i also have a windows xp cd i want to reinstall. but it wont let me because it goes straight to windows. so my computer will not boot from any cds now. the cd reader is working fine. | 03:37 |
| Zaukox | there... see and tell me :P | 03:37 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: fsck won't check/fix NTFS partitions | 03:37 |
| Zaukox | uh so? | 03:37 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: you can use fsck on /dev/sda2 though | 03:37 |
| Zaukox | and swap? | 03:37 |
| Ben64 | swap doesn't need to be checked | 03:37 |
| Zaukox | oh | 03:37 |
| theorem | harris: edit your BIOS options | 03:37 |
| samijam | harris, it sounds like the cd reader is not working fine | 03:37 |
| theorem | harris: change your BIOS boot order. | 03:38 |
| harris | but i know its working fine | 03:38 |
| Zaukox | ok, so how i can run ntfs check here? | 03:38 |
| samijam | harris, or the bios boot order :) | 03:38 |
| harris | i did reorder teh BIOS already | 03:38 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: you don't, you have to use windows | 03:38 |
| Zaukox | Ben64: i cannot boot any OS :( | 03:38 |
| harris | everything was working fine just yesterday | 03:38 |
| harris | now today it misbehaves | 03:38 |
| theorem | harris: smells fishy. your CD drive may not be getting detected, does it work at all ? | 03:39 |
| Zaukox | im on live cd, it's a little pain to reconfig it..... | 03:39 |
| Zaukox | so | 03:39 |
| harris | yes i can read all files from CD drive | 03:39 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: try fsck on /dev/sda2 then | 03:39 |
| Zaukox | ok | 03:39 |
| theorem | harris: you tested it ? | 03:39 |
| harris | i viewed them manually | 03:39 |
| lowkie | harris, unplug your HD and see if you can boot of your cd | 03:39 |
| theorem | follow lowkie | 03:39 |
| harris | i am able to see all filed whn i insert cd | 03:39 |
| theorem | see is not "use" | 03:40 |
| theorem | see only reads the TOC. | 03:40 |
| harris | its a laptop | 03:40 |
| theorem | harris: the HDD comes out. | 03:40 |
| harris | how can i test it | 03:40 |
| harris | ok good idea | 03:40 |
| harris | i can take out the HD | 03:40 |
| harris | but whats a way to test the CD reader | 03:40 |
| harris | just open soem files from CD manually? | 03:40 |
| lowkie | harris, please pull battery before you remove HD | 03:40 |
| dasnbob | guess the only interest to help is with the HD prob,,,, | 03:40 |
| harris | ok | 03:40 |
| harris | it can short circuit if i dont remove batt? | 03:41 |
| theorem | no | 03:41 |
| theorem | the batt keeps the bios settings alive | 03:41 |
| lowkie | doubt it…but be safe | 03:41 |
| Zaukox | Ben64: wat the cmd for the sda2 check+fix? | 03:41 |
| theorem | brb | 03:41 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2" | 03:42 |
| Zaukox | ok, imma paste that :P | 03:42 |
| Zaukox | it's running | 03:43 |
| Zaukox | lol, im blind | 03:43 |
| dasnbob | any help out there for reverting back to 'classic' mode in 11.10 the unity desktop no to my liking | 03:44 |
| Zaukox | dasnbob: hmm, try idk, some other stuff? | 03:44 |
| dasnbob | uses to many resources | 03:44 |
| Zaukox | also synaptic disappeard | 03:44 |
| dasnbob | idk ???? | 03:45 |
| Zaukox | dasnbob: hmm idk, try another display manager? | 03:45 |
| dasnbob | ok how | 03:45 |
| Zaukox | i din't know* | 03:45 |
| trism | !notunity | dasnbob | 03:45 |
| ubottu | dasnbob: 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 | 03:45 |
| Zaukox | oh "P\ | 03:45 |
| Zaukox | aww | 03:45 |
| VectorX | i am installing LTSP off the 'ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso' CD, come of questions on the iso, when it comes to installing software in the initial install, the installer starts to download from the net, how do i stop that and also i need to install the 386 architechture, can i put the 386 iso on the same usb in the directory and tell it to use those file ? | 03:46 |
| Zaukox | idk bout that new thingy, ubottu , trism | 03:46 |
| dasnbob | can't copy to save that but thank you | 03:46 |
| Zaukox | Ben64: hmm, i wonder how long it will take -.- | 03:47 |
| Zaukox | im canceling it and running without paste | 03:47 |
| lowkie | it can run for hours | 03:47 |
| dasnbob | using Oneiric liked Maverick | 03:47 |
| dasnbob | 10.10 | 03:48 |
| Zaukox | ok there it goes Ben64 :) | 03:48 |
| harris | hey it works! after i took out the hard drive, it boots to CD, but, how can i reinstall my windows XP without the harddrive!? | 03:48 |
| harris | can i put the hard drive into the laptop while its still on? i dont think so | 03:48 |
| Zaukox | harris: u got to put back the hdd, u need to power it off and pull batt, | 03:48 |
| lowkie | harris, if it works with no hard drive then you have a bios/boot priority issue | 03:49 |
| Zaukox | and u really need to go BIOS/CMOS setup | 03:49 |
| Zaukox | hey Ben64 , wondering why this comes Error reading block 1267 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore error? yes | 03:49 |
| Zaukox | how i do repair the ntfs partition on ubuntu?? | 03:50 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, you can't…boot windows and chkdsk | 03:51 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: no :( | 03:52 |
| Zaukox | corrupt boot :( | 03:52 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, windows has a repair mode too | 03:52 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: i can at least do chkdsk within win7 inst cd | 03:52 |
| Zaukox | yeah | 03:52 |
| Zaukox | :P | 03:52 |
| Zaukox | oh well | 03:53 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: i cannot even run local repair mode | 03:53 |
| Zaukox | think im going to run win7 cd | 03:53 |
| Zaukox | cd/dvd :P | 03:53 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: really is not possible to scan ntfs in ubuntu?? | 03:53 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, ntfs support is iffy at best with linux. It's all reversing engineering….you want to trust that to repair? | 03:54 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: damn, how bad is the support here? | 03:54 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, what do you mean? | 03:55 |
| Zaukox | how good is the ntfs disk support for check+fix in ubuntu?? | 03:55 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, there is no support for it | 03:56 |
| Zaukox | :( | 03:56 |
| Zaukox | so | 03:56 |
| Zaukox | also | 03:56 |
| Zaukox | does the swap disk never need to be checked? | 03:56 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, swap can be reformatted…it's only temp data | 03:56 |
| Zaukox | oh, is fine then to delete it and tada, brandnew swap? | 03:57 |
| lowkie | delete the partition? | 03:57 |
| Zaukox | http://paste.ubuntu.com/810347/ <--:O | 03:58 |
| lowkie | I would say you need a new drive | 03:58 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: why? and, i kept using this pc at fully power for 7 months, and this is a netbook | 03:59 |
| Zaukox | so | 03:59 |
| Zaukox | yay, it's fixing :P | 04:00 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, once bad blocks start…it's rare for it to stop | 04:00 |
| Zaukox | hmm, with the force rewite, do i get the cluster data back? | 04:00 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: the bad blocking hit the booting parts badly | 04:00 |
| Ben64 | yeah once smart messages start coming up, it means time for a new drive | 04:00 |
| Zaukox | but | 04:00 |
| Zaukox | mbr is safe | 04:00 |
| Zaukox | also | 04:01 |
| Zaukox | i been using this for 7 months only | 04:01 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, warranty it then | 04:01 |
| Zaukox | umm, zero warranty because i/we requested none, because foregin | 04:01 |
| Ben64 | then get a new hard drive | 04:02 |
| Zaukox | do i keep the data fine in the clusters? | 04:02 |
| Zaukox | yeah, i cannot, is expensive | 04:02 |
| multipass | is there any way to reset my network devices? I have a ubuntu server virtual box that says its using eth5 and eth6? | 04:02 |
| urlin2u | Zaukox, clone it at the least. | 04:02 |
| Zaukox | and, my dad says that fully format solves it all, is he right? | 04:03 |
| pnorman | Zaukox: If you go for no warranty, you're betting that it'll be cheaper on average to replace the drive then to return it. | 04:03 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: the easiest thing to do would be to format and reinstall, but the hard drive errors will still exist | 04:03 |
| pnorman | Zaukox: there's no way to make the drive reliable again | 04:03 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, smart errors are hardware issues…format doesn't fix hardware problems | 04:03 |
| Zaukox | ok, and if i do low level format? | 04:03 |
| lowkie | eek! | 04:03 |
| Zaukox | !! | 04:03 |
| Zaukox | wat if i do lowlevel format to it? | 04:04 |
| mobile | i | 04:04 |
| pnorman | Zaukox: Is it even possible to buy a drive without a warantty? | 04:04 |
| === mobile is now known as lyrae | ||
| lowkie | Zaukox, got a small boat that could use an anchor? | 04:04 |
| Zaukox | not for me, cause i brought this in usa, im in argentina, so no warranty | 04:05 |
| Zaukox | lol lowkie | 04:05 |
| pnorman | Zaukox: What brand? | 04:05 |
| Zaukox | it's an Acer Aspire One 722 | 04:05 |
| pnorman | Not the computer, the drive | 04:05 |
| Zaukox | lol | 04:05 |
| Zaukox | wait | 04:05 |

| TravisD | I'm trying to use my laptop as a network bridge to share my wireless connection over ethernet. I have created a new wireless network and changed the ipv4 method to "Shared to other computers". When I try to use it, however, it keeps reconnecting and disconnecting. Does anyone know what could be going wrong? | 04:07 |
| TravisD | a new wired network* | 04:07 |
| Zaukox | ok, /dev/sda is: 320GB/298GB hard disk (ATA Hitachi HTS43232A7A384), that's wat disk utility says | 04:07 |
| TiMiDo | TravisD, check dmesg | 04:08 |
| Zaukox | pnorman:there | 04:08 |
| Zaukox | now i got corrupted dirs!! | 04:09 |
| pnorman | Zaukox: According to the hitachi site you can return the *drive* to the place of purchase under hitachi's warranty if not in one of the countries listed. http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/site/en/support/warranty/ | 04:09 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: There are some messages saying no IPv6 routers present, some other saying eth0: link becomes ready followed by eth0:link is not ready, followed by irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X followed by eth0 NIC Link is Up<100 Mbps Full Duplex> | 04:09 |
| Zaukox | nono, i got ZERO WARRANTY | 04:10 |
| TiMiDo | TravisD, what laptop is this,? | 04:10 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: Asus EEE 1000HA | 04:10 |
| TravisD | er, 1005HA | 04:10 |
| pnorman | Zaukox: Contact hitachi and tell them that the place you bought the drive from is refusing to accept it for a return. | 04:10 |
| joeko | I just used dd to clone a disk, how do I load the disks partition table? | 04:11 |
| Zaukox | pnorman: IM NOT WARRANTY PROTECTED! | 04:11 |
| pnorman | Zaukox: For the laptop? I'm not talking about the laptop warranty | 04:11 |
| Zaukox | both | 04:11 |
| Zaukox | all of it | 04:11 |
| cheako | Hello, how can I remove a program from the manually installed list? | 04:11 |
| lowkie | pnorman, he doesn't wash to use warranty | 04:12 |
| pnorman | I don't believe hitachi allows its drives to be sold with no warranty | 04:12 |
| cheako | s/program/package/ | 04:12 |
| lowkie | want to use* | 04:12 |
| TiMiDo | TravisD, how are you connecting,? | 04:12 |
| TiMiDo | wlan0 or eth0? | 04:12 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: it is connected to my wireless network on wlan0 ( I think ) and to another machine over eth0 | 04:12 |
| Zaukox | how long can the repair take? | 04:12 |
| urlin2u | joeko, do you mean boot the new drive? | 04:12 |
| TiMiDo | TravisD, are you using a router? | 04:12 |
| pnorman | They don't actually repair drives. they send you a new one | 04:13 |
| TiMiDo | Hub? | 04:13 |

| Zaukox | no lol, im running fsck on the ubuntu partition | 04:13 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: I'm actually trying to set up my netbook + a router as a repeater | 04:13 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, I have a server that takes 42 hours to run a chkdsk on | 04:13 |
| TiMiDo | paste me your dmesg paste.ubuntu.com | 04:13 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: So the device trying to connect over eth0 is a router | 04:13 |
| TiMiDo | and give me the url | 04:13 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: Sure | 04:13 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: really? how big? | 04:13 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, 2 TB full of small files | 04:14 |
| Zaukox | aw awaw | 04:14 |
| Zaukox | crazy lowkie | 04:14 |
| cheako | Drives have a large tendency to have a large first wave on the bathtub curve. The company would have to deal with customers regularly in regards to this, so I'd vote for mandatory warranty on drives. | 04:14 |
| Zaukox | lol wat, im here without ANY WARRANTY CMON | 04:14 |
| joeko | urlin2u, no I mean reload the disk partition table, like when you write a new partition table using fdisk and after the write sda1 and sda2 become available | 04:15 |
| Zaukox | ok, | 04:15 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: paste.ubuntu.com/810352/ | 04:15 |
| Zaukox | oh god think im losing stuff | 04:16 |
| cheako | lowkie: Dosn't your OS do background scanning? | 04:16 |
| lowkie | joeko, have you tried "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" …insert correct device | 04:16 |
| TiMiDo | TravisD, read this article, http://www.jfwhome.com/2009/08/06/perfect-ubuntu-jaunty-on-the-asus-eeepc-1005ha-and-1008ha/ | 04:16 |
| Zaukox | ok it finished.. | 04:16 |
| lowkie | cheako, yeah, but I do forced during maintenance windows | 04:17 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: Oh. Thanks for finding that :) I just need to build those drivers and then we're good to go? | 04:17 |
| Zaukox | uhhh, bad sector climbed! | 04:17 |
| TiMiDo | first of all which release are you using? | 04:18 |
| Zaukox | 133 now :( | 04:18 |
| TiMiDo | TravisD, are you using the atheros drivers? | 04:18 |
| urlin2u | joeko, never used fdisk so miss the point here. | 04:18 |
| urlin2u | I* | 04:18 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm not sure about atheros drivers. How do I check? | 04:19 |
| TiMiDo | TravisD, paste lsmod to paste.ubuntu.com | 04:19 |
| Zaukox | ok pnorman , Ben64, lowkie... now it got worse, fsck finished but it end up with smart telling i have 133 bad sectors now | 04:19 |
| |Anthony| | Using ubuntu 10.04 64bit. How can i change the default audio input device? | 04:19 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, that's what we were saying | 04:19 |
| Zaukox | 133 on the whole disk, i scanned /dev/sda2 which is ubuntu system part | 04:20 |
| Zaukox | so | 04:20 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, 133 only scanning sda2…when you do your windows partition there could be more | 04:20 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: paste.ubuntu.com/810355 | 04:20 |
| Zaukox | damn, how the hell i make that go down ? | 04:21 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, buy a new drive | 04:21 |
| TiMiDo | yeah you are using the ather0s drivers, ath9k | 04:21 |
| Zaukox | No!, what then? lowkie | 04:21 |
| TiMiDo | now TravisD man iptables and have Fun, | 04:21 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, how well do you like live cd's? | 04:21 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: Heh, no way to avoid that? | 04:21 |
| Zaukox | lol, not much, unless it's presistent | 04:22 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, I hear pen drives are cool | 04:22 |
| Zaukox | and got no usb here | 04:22 |
| Zaukox | yeah | 04:22 |
| TiMiDo | why would you avoid, that since is your Wireless driver? | 04:22 |
| TiMiDo | TravisD, | 04:22 |
| Zaukox | so lowkie ? | 04:22 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, you have a hardware failure…or soon to be….software can't fix hardware | 04:22 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: IP tables seem intimidating | 04:22 |
| nosleep77 | :D | 04:23 |
| Zaukox | so? | 04:23 |
| TiMiDo | TravisD, join #Netfilter | 04:23 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, just do a backup…and enjoy live cds | 04:23 |
| Zaukox | cmon it's really a pain starting over :( | 04:23 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: So, the problem is that I don't have it set up properly? I will join Netfilter soon | 04:23 |
| flowerpot | What is the equivalent of mkbootdisk on Ubuntu? | 04:23 |
| TiMiDo | yeah you need to configure it properly TravisD | 04:23 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: Good chance to learn I guess :) | 04:24 |
| Zaukox | will low level format fix all this lowkie ? | 04:24 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, low level formatting an IDE or SATA drive will destroy it | 04:24 |
| TiMiDo | also check the router configuration on the local ip and configure it from there also TravisD | 04:24 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: yes, and then? | 04:24 |
| nosleep77 | flowerpot, mkboot i think | 04:24 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, and then it will NEVER work again | 04:24 |
| flowerpot | I searched apt-cache for mkboot but couldn't find it | 04:24 |
| flowerpot | it's not in debianutils either...where is it? | 04:25 |
| Zaukox | really? | 04:25 |
| TiMiDo | to see if the router, Firewall might be blocking it, TravisD | 04:25 |
| TravisD | TiMiDo: Should I use static IPs? | 04:25 |
| Zaukox | lowkie: why? | 04:25 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, it won't just destroy the data…it will destroy the drive itself | 04:25 |
| Ben64 | Zaukox: it is impossible to fix the hard drive | 04:25 |
| TiMiDo | for a server, i suggest you do so, TravisD | 04:25 |
| flowerpot | sudo apt-cache search mkboot returns "abootimg - Tool to read/write/update android boot images" | 04:25 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, IDE/SATA are not SCSI, MFM, or RLL drives | 04:25 |
| TravisD | okay, thanks TiMiDo | 04:25 |
| nosleep77 | hmm .. :( | 04:25 |
| GitNick | guys im chrooted from a live cd into my broken installation, in which I managed to wipe the boot partition. How to I regen/reinstall the vmlinuz image? | 04:26 |
| Zaukox | in logical terms, i bet if i do low format it will be like a brand new hdd, im right? | 04:26 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, yes…I went back to MFM days | 04:26 |
| cheako | Hello, how can I remove a package from the manually installed list? | 04:26 |

| nosleep77 | flowerpot, do u just wanna do the dd thing | 04:26 |
| cipher__ | has anyone here installed ubuntu on a xps15z? | 04:26 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, do as you wish…I hope that drive has a safety on it to keep you from destroying it | 04:27 |
| flowerpot | nosleep77, not sure what "the dd thing" is | 04:27 |
| Zaukox | sure about that lowkie ? because hmmm, | 04:27 |
| happymonkey | cipher__: looks like a nice machine | 04:27 |
| flowerpot | nosleep77, I'm learning about the Linux bootstrap process, and the book I'm reading uses mkbootimage so I was hoping to follow along. That's all. If there's an alternative for Ubuntu, I'm all ears. | 04:28 |
| nosleep77 | flowerpot, there's a manual way of doing it | 04:28 |
| nosleep77 | flowerpot, i just googled and there's a buncha stuff | 04:28 |
| lowkie | Zaukox, I have given you my advice…it's your choice if you wish to ignore it | 04:28 |
| flowerpot | could you give me your google string? | 04:28 |
| cipher__ | happymonkey: thanks, unfortunately I cannot even get it to boot from the "installation splash." I have also read the trackpad, wireless, and graphics card(s) have issues. I was just curious if there is anyone that has resolved these issues; I refuse to use windows :p | 04:29 |
| nosleep77 | "create book disk ubuntu" | 04:29 |
| Zaukox | YES, DAMN U lowkie THE LOW FORMAT REGENS THE MAGNETIC SECTORS OF THE DISK, SO, WHY NOT DO LOW FORMAT!? | 04:29 |

| elpiratedechron | hey I know this is a stupid question but I haven't been using linux lately and am giving an old computer to a friend.. But I need to remove some stuff off of it first like passwords/steam games etc(I have a dual boot set up) but I no longer have the vga cable I used to use on this computer to hook it up to my 42" LCD.. it supports 1360x768 thru vga max and now all I have is a dvi-hdmi adapter... which DOESN'T support that | 06:06 |
| elpiratedechron | resolution.. so when I tried to boot into windows to clean stuff up it wouldn't work.. this is the only "Monitor" I have now and no vga cable... I was wondering if someone could remind me what I can do to change the resolution in windows using ubuntu.. I tried booting to safe mode but found that the damn drivers for my wireless mouse/keyboard fail to load and as you might guess.. they are my only mouse/keyboard atm... sooo | 06:06 |
| elpiratedechron | any ideas? | 06:06 |
| FloodBot1 | elpiratedechron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:06 |
| elpiratedechron | I don't mean to be a dick...and maybe I'm just in a bad mood....but screw you floodBOT :p | 06:08 |
| elpiratedechron | I know he's a bot.. I like talking to myself though | 06:08 |
| urlin2u | elpiratedechron, I don't think you can change the resolution in windows from ubuntu. | 06:08 |
| elpiratedechron | damn... | 06:08 |
| TiMiDo | elpiratedechron, please behave | 06:09 |
| elpiratedechron | it's a nvidia card... there's no file I can delete to force it to go to default 800x600 or something? | 06:09 |
| urlin2u | elpiratedechron, what is the ubuntu release, there is a dis0ply app for resolutions. | 06:10 |
| urlin2u | display* | 06:10 |
| urlin2u | or monitores | 06:10 |
| elpiratedechron | urlin2u: you did read I'm not trying to change unbuntu resolution | 06:10 |
| elpiratedechron | trying to change windows resolution on a dual boot | 06:10 |
| urlin2u | elpiratedechron, youneed ##windows then | 06:10 |
| elpiratedechron | ......... | 06:10 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | hi all | 06:11 |
| elpiratedechron | I think you fail to see the issue... I can't boot into windows normally because the resolution I was using isn't compatiable with HDMI mode for my ONLY monitor which is a 42" lcd | 06:11 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | anyone supports? | 06:11 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | i need help on my ubuntu server | 06:11 |
| elpiratedechron | and my mouse/keyboard drivers won't load in safe mode | 06:11 |
| urlin2u | elpiratedechron, this is ubuntu support not my rules. | 06:11 |
| elpiratedechron | I'm using unbuntu 10.04 right now | 06:12 |
| elpiratedechron | dual boot | 06:12 |
| elpiratedechron | guess I didn't make that clear enough :) | 06:12 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | elpiratedechron.... need help from you | 06:12 |
| elpiratedechron | I might be able to help... but I'm rusty on my linux right now | 06:12 |
| urlin2u | elpiratedechron, but your problem is windows go to their channel lots of great help there. | 06:12 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | i just install ubuntu 10.04 server | 06:13 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | the purpose are to make a file server but its seems to be doesnt help | 06:13 |
| elpiratedechron | I guess... but since I can't interface at all using safe mode... and since I cna't see anything with normal boot.... | 06:13 |
| Flannel | elpiratedechron: You should ask in ##windows, there may be some boot file tweaking that you can force a particular resolution | 06:13 |
| arathald | well, it turns out that the problem was that ubuntu was mishandling my hdmi out. pulling out the cable and resetting lightdm fixed the problem | 06:13 |
| urlin2u | elpiratedechron, if it has a recovery partition I would recover it anyway even if going to a friend. | 06:14 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | how to configure static ip in ubuntu 10.04 server and save it. | 06:14 |
| elpiratedechron | I was hoping I could do some trickery using linux.. clearly you dont' have any ideas but thanks anyway.. :) I'm sure there IS a way but you just dont' seem to know it.. and I'm pretty sure if I ask here and the other linux channels I'm in somebody will have a solution... I really doubt that the windows people will be able to help :) | 06:14 |
| elpiratedechron | It doesn't | 06:14 |
| elpiratedechron | it's a custom build | 06:14 |
| arathald | elpiratedechron: the only trickery using linux is accessing windows files. anything beyond that is a windows issue | 06:15 |
| msterbrewer | im having a strange bug with my sansa clip when i put music on it from my linux computer | 06:15 |
| msterbrewer | it will play the files | 06:15 |
| Flannel | elpiratedechron: The "way" would be to tweak whatever windows boot files, but knowing what to tweak in them is 100% a ##windows question. | 06:15 |
| msterbrewer | but when i connect it to a windows pc it shows the files arent there | 06:15 |
| elpiratedechron | arahald: I know that's why I was hoping there was a text file I could edit to change it but now that I think about it it's probably stored in a reg key | 06:15 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | how to configure static ip in ubuntu 10.04 server and save it. can anyone help me on this? | 06:15 |

| almoxarife | elpiratedechron: access a ntfs partion from ubuntu is simple, and plinking within it is as simple, making changes to a ntfs partions files is also as simple, so it does come down to your win prowess and the ubuntu tools to do it with. | 06:18 |

| TRAVISg_ | is there a way to enlarge the partition for an install of ubuntu 11.10 that is part of a dual boot? Without doing a fresh install. | 06:25 |
| urlin2u | TRAVISg_, yes if it is not a wubi install. | 06:26 |
| TRAVISg_ | it was | 06:26 |
| elpiratedechron | almoxarife: I don't think you read my original post carefully enough. :) I can't boot the windows partition becuase the resolution I was using last time I used this computer isnt' supported by my only monitor.. and safe mode wont' load the drivers for the only wireless mouse/keyboard I have.. but since I have a dual boot I was hoping I could do somethign in linux since I was able to edit xorg.conf using the terminal and bo | 06:27 |
| elpiratedechron | ot to linux.. I don't want to come off as unappricative but it seems you're just trying to prove you're smarter then me or something... If you don't have a solution that's fine.. as I said as soon as I go out and smoke a cig and take a dump I'm doing this: http://forums.techarena.in/monitor-video-cards/1186512.htm .. which will involve using wine to load my reg keys and change the resolution USING LINUX!!! What I posted is | 06:27 |
| elpiratedechron | a valid solution to my problem... it is exactly the kind of response I was hoping for here.. Not some condescending response that it's a "windows issue" :) so thanks again but, again not to come off as unappreciative but get over yourself :) | 06:27 |
| FloodBot1 | elpiratedechron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:27 |
| urlin2u | TRAVISg_, you can actualy move that wubi to a actual partition as of now it s a file in windows. | 06:27 |
| urlin2u | elpiratedechron, waitv let me check the world does not revolve around your selfish needs. | 06:28 |

| elpiratedechron | I thought of that myself after coming here and posting... I haven't used linux in a good while so I forgot if there was a simple way to change windows resolution using linux :) | 06:30 |
| urlin2u | TRAVISg_, your choice wubi is not a long term use designated per the developer. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | elpiratedechron: you can set resolutions in winecfg | 06:31 |
| TRAVISg_ | urlin2u, thanx I'll check it out. that's strange to me that it is just a file because I am getting the boot options at startup then at grub before I ever get to xp splash | 06:31 |
| elpiratedechron | there must be a way if it's not in a text file it's in a reg key... I HIGHLY doubt windows encrypts or otherwise hides whatever stores your resolution :) | 06:31 |
| elpiratedechron | ActionParsnip: exactly what I thought.. Thank you.. If +rep existed here I'd totally give you one :D | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | elpiratedechron: np man, just be cool :) | 06:32 |
| elpiratedechron | ... and -1 from almoxarife :p | 06:32 |
| TRAVISg_ | urlin2u, yeah it is a testdrive I have got my girlfriend testing the waters I'll get her switched over:) | 06:32 |
| urlin2u | TRAVISg_, grub when booting before a XP ubuntu choice? | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | elpiratedechron: you can setup a virtual desktop in winecfg which your apps will run in and you can set the res there. I had to do that to get Postal2 to run | 06:32 |
| TRAVISg_ | urlin2u, no boot choice between xp and ubuntu. which now that you say it is windows huh? I am fairly new myself. | 06:34 |

| LoRdRapTuReZ | can u help me on this? | 06:37 |

| hexacode | and i cant stretch it past a certain point because the mouse gets to the end of the screen | 06:37 |
| metaspike | LoRdRapTuReZ: well, first step would be to disable any dhcp clientstuff from interfering, dhcpd for instance. | 06:38 |
| metaspike | you could use bum or rcconf for that. | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | hexacode: you can use ALT to drag a window from ANY point | 06:38 |

| skilz | Why when I do 'sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' if I login to a tty console it shows security updates and such availible? | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | LoRdRapTuReZ: you can use /etc/network/interfaces to manually define it with a config file, or install wicd-curses and you will get a nice curses based GUI to configure interfaces | 06:39 |
| skilz | Why is aptitude not updating? | 06:39 |

| llutz_ | skilz: "/dev/sda1 /mnt/media ext4 defaults 0 0" if it's ext4-fs, you could use "UUID=xxx" instead of /dev/sda1, get UUID from "blkid" | 07:36 |

| Ayu | edo: mksdnya "baru masuk hari ini nih" hehe | 07:51 |
| llutz_ | !en | ayu edo | 07:51 |
| ubottu | ayu edo: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 07:51 |
| Ayu | llutz_: okay, so sorry | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh | 07:52 |
| edo | ayu, ya ane juga pertama kali... | 07:52 |
| edo | llutz, sorry bro... | 07:53 |
| urlin2u | Swarnava, when I said ultimate I meant the next higher W7 release after pro. If you have W7 pro or ultimate you can save multiple partitions and drives | 07:53 |
| ublinux | dont know | 07:53 |
| Swarnava | urlin2u: save to where? | 07:54 |
| Swarnava | removal media? | 07:54 |
| urlin2u | Swarnava, a HD | 07:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: its a big terminal command, run it and select to upload to the server, it will generate a URL. What is the URL? Of course you won't know the output, its massive and complex | 07:54 |
| ublinux | dont understand. Sorry. | 07:55 |
| Swarnava | !seen arrbee | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | urlin2u: like make an image, or copy data 1-to-1 | 07:55 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: have you ever used terminal, to type commands?? | 07:55 |
| urlin2u | ActionParsnip, it is a full image clone | 07:55 |
| Swarnava | urlin2u: is there any chance to remove all my hDD Data? | 07:56 |
| Swarnava | :O | 07:56 |
| ActionParsnip | urlin2u: I see, linux has had that for years...Windows only just caught up ;) | 07:56 |
| urlin2u | ActionParsnip, the user wants to install ubuntu I was hoping to get them backed up. | 07:56 |
| ublinux | ok, are you asking for a copy of my cd that came with my motherboard to send you? | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | urlin2u: makes sense, Win7 can also resize its own partitions but backing up before is wise | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: when did I ever mention a CD? | 07:57 |
| ublinux | sorry. did not know what you are asking | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: copy the long command I gave, open a terminal and paste the command in, hit ENTER and the script will download and run, press Y to upload to the server and a URL will be generated. You can then paste that URL in here | 07:58 |
| urlin2u | Swarnava, when you say remove all your media you mean by mistake? | 07:59 |
| ublinux | very sorry still dont understand. | 08:00 |
| Swarnava | urlin2u: no they give me the list to choose which drive i want to install? :O | 08:00 |
| urlin2u | Swarnava, you have lost me and it is late here, so I will let others help. :D | 08:00 |
| auronandace | ActionParsnip: you sure he isn't doing that on purpose? your instructions are very clear | 08:00 |
| llutz_ | ublinux: what is your native language? | 08:01 |
| ublinux | auronandace, i am not swavay with linux or its command line | 08:02 |
| ublinux | llutz, english | 08:02 |
| llutz_ | oh | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: its a copy and paste, that's all | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: you can copy and paste text,right.... | 08:02 |
| ublinux | i know copy and paste, but what info are you requestin and what will it do? | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: its nothing to do with being savvy with ubuntu. I'm sure you can copy and paste text | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: it will give us the sound information of your system | 08:03 |
| mordof | nevermind... i found it.. | 08:03 |
| mordof | painful | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: sometimes stuff is hidden or hard in many OSes | 08:04 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: no, i'm using the dvorak layout at the moment | 08:05 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: it's just painfully slow for me until i get used to it, lol | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: the new keyboard layout, you mean? | 08:07 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: yes | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: sounds painful indeed | 08:08 |
| urlin2u | ActionParsnip, generally I use clonezilla though it saves the mbr, I hardly use my W7 except for doing uplaods to my colleges online class stuff, it wont read linux. | 08:08 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: i've swithced over to dvorak | 08:08 |
| DarkCold | I used ubuntu... untell I TOOK AN ARROW TO DAH KNEE!!!! | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | urlin2u: whatever works dude :) | 08:08 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: i heard it was better | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: better how? | 08:09 |
| Peppe__ | Hi, I have managed to F***Up my grafics drivers in ubuntu. I had a problem with ubuntu not detecting higer resolutions than 640x480 for my new Marantz AV receiver, so I got a bit carried away and removed the the current nvidia drivers in synaptic, (and rebboted). Now i obviosly don't have any driver for my grafics card, is there an easy way to completely reinstall the default ubuntu grafics drivers, so i can start from a clean slate? | 08:09 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: less limitations once you're used to it. it won't slow you down as much. | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a please use http://pastie.org to host the output (or similar) | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: I use a tonne of shortcuts, scripts and aliases, makes typing faster | 08:11 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: yeah same | 08:11 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: but that still has it's limits | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | seems fine here :) | 08:12 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: what's your WPM? | 08:12 |
| ublinux | give me the text to copy and paste again please and we will try it. | 08:12 |
| ublinux | got terminal open | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: lastI checked (about 10 years ago, was about 24 or some) | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh | 08:13 |
| mordof | o.o | 08:13 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: .. really? | 08:13 |
| mordof | and you think it's still near that? | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: not sure, I don't type long pieces of text much nowadays | 08:14 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: ah, alright then | 08:14 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: well in that case, it's not that pertinent for you to switch xD | 08:14 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: (switched back to qwerty for the conversation, lol) | 08:14 |
| ublinux | i did it and it said no such file | 08:14 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: that was just.. painful.. but i want to learn it anyhow | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: I launch my browser by typing: chr and it runs, that sort of thing | 08:14 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: ah | 08:15 |
| Peppe__ | ActionParsnip I'm currently at work, I was hopping that you could run something like, remover xorg/drivers etc and then use apt-get to reinstall default ones, i.e to get back to default ubuntu drivers. (Could you enable additional drivers from commandline?) | 08:15 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: most things are faster for me to type them in full because i don't have my brain programmed for the shortcuts | 08:15 |
| osmosis | any git experts around?i just did a git add myfile; git commit -m 'a msg'; and now myfile has disappeared. nowhere to be found | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: ok try: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh | 08:15 |
| osmosis | git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm get_flo.py' HEAD; git add get_flo.py; git add get_flo_privateinfo.py; git commit -m 'adding files' | 08:15 |
| ublinux | tell me what to type in terminal | 08:15 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: i'm capped out at about 110WPM average, dvorak is supposed to make key transitions easier | 08:15 |
| mordof | ActionParsnip: hence why i want to learn it | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: if you can give the output of the command, we can advise | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mordof: makes sense | 08:16 |
| Peppe__ | ActionParsnip, okay, I will have to get back to you later, I don't curently have access to the computer.. | 08:17 |
| karash_l | ftp://ajax:ajaxajax@shellmix.com:60/ | 08:17 |
| ron | hi. I know this is not strictly an ubuntu question, but maybe someone could assist. lately my computer gets stuck fairly often, not entirely sure why (running ubuntu 11.10). there's no way to switch to a different terminal, and I can't connect to the computer remotely. I suspect this could be due to faulty hardware but I'm not sure. are there any tools that can assist me to find out what goes wrong? | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: I'd suggest you try: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current as a first call | 08:17 |
| karash_l | ups | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: I'd test RAM first. You may be able to press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there if it is only the X server which has hung | 08:18 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: no, like I said, I can't switch to a different terminal, the computer is completely unresponsive. | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: test RAM is a good first move then | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: output something like this: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=cd396c8cb9d1a70d76a5c9f43ad1449aa1c31540 | 08:19 |
| Peppe__ | ActionParsnip, thanks i will try it. One more thing, i guess that apt-get install nvidia-current will give my x-swat version of nvidia, has this repo is enabled in synaptic. I would really like to try the additional/restricted drivers that comes with ubuntu 11.10, can i install these from commandline as well? | 08:21 |
| skypent | I'm having trouble with ggnfs giving me errors (when i'm pretty sure I have all the prereqs) with a make command. Wondering if anyone experience with msieve/ggnfs could help me out with this one. | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: not by default, if you added the ppa then yes | 08:22 |
| ublinux | i did it and nothing | 08:22 |
| ublinux | what now? | 08:22 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: sorry, my computer hang right when I was here.. and my bouncer is on that computer. now connected directly instead. | 08:24 |
| ublinux | need audio driver for ubuntu, realtek alc8888 | 08:24 |
| urlin2u | ublinux, in the terminal after that command is run is a http address post it for ActionParsnip | 08:24 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: not sure if and which of my previous messages went through. | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: hold shift at boot and select memtest from there. If you see RED then the RAM is faulty | 08:26 |
| ublinux | urlin2u, sorry i closed terminal and restarted it | 08:26 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: will try that, thanks. | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: when you run the command, read the output... | 08:26 |
| ublinux | dont know how to post url | 08:26 |
| urlin2u | ublinux, run it again open the http then post its http address | 08:26 |
| Peppe__ | ActionParsnip, maybe you could advise me on how to solve my first problem, i.e. the one that made me become stupid and remove the driver in the first place. I just received my new marantz-reciver yesterday, and connected the hdmi, and i could only select 640x480 resolutions. I tried adding resolutions with modline xrander, but only got could not read gamma -something something. Is there a way to enable the the option to choose from a | 08:28 |
| LoRdRapTuReZ | i have done to change ip address. | 08:28 |
| ron | Peppe__: congratulations on the receiver ;) | 08:28 |
| Swarnava | urlin2u: backed up, now what? | 08:28 |
| Peppe__ | ron, thanks =) I would just like to be able to use a resolution higher than 640x480 ;p | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: nvidia-settings will let you set resolutions. You should be ableto use the nouveau driver or even the nv driver, both are in a default install. | 08:29 |
| ron | Peppe__: don't be petty ;) | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: you could even blacklist the nouveau driver and use the nv driver | 08:29 |
| ublinux | urlin2u, i did it and it said to inform the person helping me. | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: yes, copy the red URL in the terminal | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: what is the URL? | 08:31 |
| Peppe__ | ActionParsnip, the problem was that i really could not set any resolution higher than 640x480 in nvidia-settings, no such options in the dropdown, and xrander stated the same.. | 08:31 |
| ublinux | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=45cb4b2aae80c9bc964d8a682c5fc231c9a37b4e | 08:31 |
| urlin2u | Swarnava, it is really late here I would hate to make a mistake helping you so I will let others do that, good job on getting backed up. | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: install nvidia-current and you can set higher resolutions. If your monitor is cheap and not reportin EDID, you may need an xorg.cof file | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: not hard huh, copy and paste :) | 08:32 |
| Peppe__ | iActionParsnip, i guess ubuntu does not understand the info sent by the av, could this be disabled so i can choose without restriction? | 08:32 |
| ublinux | is that correct, i just copy and paste? | 08:32 |
| ublinux | so now what? | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: ok, run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* Then reboot | 08:33 |
| ublinux | I apreciate your patience. | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: that will get you to alsa 1.0.24 which may help | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: also, just so you know, Maverick is no longer supported in any way after April this year | 08:34 |
| Peppe__ | ActionParsnip, the strange thing is that my TV/monitor is crapy, but if i had it connected to the computer directly i could choose among many more resolutions. But when i connected it through the new av (marantz 1602) i could only set 640x480... | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: once you get the nvidia driver in, you can run: sudo nvidia-xconfig and it will make an xorg.conf file for you, you can then run: gksudo nvidia-settings and set a resolutions. if one you desire is not present just set it to something then click 'Save to X config file', you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the resolution as you wish | 08:36 |
| gregory_ | what interface are you using? | 08:37 |
| ublinux | great now you tell me. does that mean that i need to upgrade and maybe help my situation. | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: if you get no desktop, simply boot to root recovery mode and rename the file | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: maverick has some old sound libs, as your output shows. The updates wil help a lot | 08:37 |
| ublinux | ok, but dont like unity | 08:38 |
| ublinux | i will update and see what happens | 08:38 |
| ublinux | Thanks alot! | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: np :) | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ublinux: you do'y have to use unity you know.. | 08:39 |
| ublinux | yea. | 08:39 |
| === oyvind is now known as Guest3663 | ||
| Peppe__ | ActionParsnip, okay thanks, sorry for being a bit stupid. But by gksudo nvidia-settings and set a resolutions, do you mean that i should have all possible resolutions in a dropdown list, or should i manually add them? | 08:40 |
| Guest3663 | Whats the best IMAP setup to go for on a ubuntu system? | 08:40 |
| === Guest3663 is now known as padlefot1 | ||
| ublinux | closing out this irc , see you later. Thanks again. Peace! | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: you will have some, but if not, you can manually set it in xorg.conf | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | padlefot1: there is no single best anything in any OS | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | padlefot1: do you mean for an email server? | 08:41 |
| padlefot1 | ActionParsnip: fair enough.. never setup imap on ubuntu before and was looking for a good solution | 08:41 |
| padlefot1 | ActionParsnip: yes | 08:41 |
| Peppe__ | ActionParsnip, do you maybe have an example xorg that i could look at, i guess its more to it than just add 1024x768? | 08:41 |
| llutz_ | padlefot1: look at dovecot | 08:41 |
| padlefot1 | llutz_: thanx :) | 08:42 |
| padlefot1 | llutz_: found some howtos on dovecot at google | 08:42 |
| llutz_ | padlefot1: shouldn't be hard to find one for ubuntu too | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: I can show you mine if you want. My stupid TV sets 300 x 300 dpi and some super fine res, makes the desktop unusale. let me pastebin | 08:42 |
| llutz_ | or debian | 08:42 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: so I guess the list of red lines that just appeared on my monitor is a bad sign, right? | 08:42 |
| padlefot1 | llutz_: spot on ;) | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Peppe__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/810478/ | 08:43 |
| Peppe__ | ActionParsnip, thanks alot! | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: yes that's your ram being bad, if you see this: http://www.memtest.org/pics/amd64-big.gif the ram is good, this is bad: http://www.mynetnuke.com/Portals/28/images/Articles/MemtestMNN.jpg | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | padlefot1: found this: http://lifehacker.com/5040390/turn-an-ubuntudebian-system-into-an-imap-mail-server | 08:44 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: joy. can I tell from the test which of my dimms is bad? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: if you have bad ram, try shutting down and removing a stick, then retest | 08:44 |
| * ron nods | 08:45 | |
| ActionParsnip | ron: if its still bad, shove it back in then remove a different one | 08:45 |
| ron | I guess no point letting it carry on with the test. waste of time. | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: you get the idea ;) | 08:45 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: absolutely. | 08:45 |
| melvincv | I wonder why the memtest is really long by default??? | 08:46 |
| llutz_ | melvincv: testing takes time, memtest <12h aren't very effective | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: its infinite. You have to press ESC to stop it. It does many different tests | 08:47 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: wanna place a bet which is the faulty dimm? ;) | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: how many you got :D | 08:51 |
| ron | 2 ;) good odds. 50-50 :) | 08:51 |
| saladino_ | il gatto con gli stivali | 08:51 |
| ActionParsnip | could be both :( | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mind you ram is cheap so who cars | 08:52 |
| ActionParsnip | cares | 08:52 |
| ron | maybe I'll just replace the ram for now with the ram from my other computer since I don't use it. I don't want to be stuck over the weekend without a computer.. it's my media center.. I need my media :p | 08:53 |
| Bogy | is anyone here? | 08:55 |
| phalaaxx | Bogy why not just ask? :) | 08:55 |
| triferema | hi | 08:56 |
| Bogy | hi | 08:56 |
| Bogy | I have a question about a boot problem | 08:56 |
| triferema | i have a folder that needs to owned by www-data but still allow a normal user to write to it | 08:56 |
| triferema | how do I go about it | 08:56 |
| llutz_ | triferema: are you sure it needs to be owned by www-data? group-own it www-data and make your user owner | 08:57 |
| Bogy | we had a power outage last night and now my ubuntu machine won't boot. I can still see the disk and directory structures when I boot from the install cd and partition magic shows a #108 error | 08:57 |
| gvaiou | triferema, chown www-data.users MYFOLDER ; chmod 775 MYFOLDER | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Bogy: boot to livecD and test the partition using fsck | 08:58 |
| Yozap | Hey guys and girls, I have tried installing counter-strike:Source, without success under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Anyone tried this before? | 08:58 |
| gvaiou | if your user is in the group users, he will be able to write in it, everyone else cannot | 08:58 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: is there any point running the memtest with the new memory? it's of a much higher quality, never had problems with it. | 08:58 |
| Bogy | not sure what livecD is | 08:59 |
| triferema | llutz_: will this work chown -Rfv triferema:www-data yii | 08:59 |
| gvaiou | Bogy, it's just the ordinary ubuntu installation cd | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: I'd just boot to test tbh, if its bad then memtest, could be deeper than just ram. Should be ok though | 09:00 |
| Bogy | ok brb | 09:00 |
| Bogy | thanks | 09:00 |
| theadmin | Yozap: Wine support in #winehq not here | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Bogy: the thing you installed the OS with,.... | 09:00 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: *nod* | 09:00 |
| Bogy | brb | 09:00 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: I wonder if that would explain the other odd problems I've had the the computer. | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Yozap: check the appdb, there are usually how tos | 09:00 |
| gulzar | I want to download virtualbox Qt GUI source. The link I got is https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Frontends . But how to download it? It is just a browser. Or any other way to download? | 09:00 |
| llutz_ | triferema: it should. webserver (www-data) just needs to read those dirs and write to only a few files/dirs. so its always better not to have those dirs owned by www-data | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | gulzar: why not use the usual interface? | 09:01 |
| Bogy | can you give me an fsck command line suggestion. fsck ????? | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Bogy: have a look at: man fsck | 09:02 |
| Bogy | ok | 09:02 |
| gulzar | ActionParsnip: I am re creating it in other language so want to study it a bit | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | gulzar: there is also virtualbox-ose-qt and virtualbox-qt in the repos... | 09:02 |
| triferema | llutz_, gvaiou: thank it worked | 09:03 |
| gulzar | ActionParsnip: I want the source code | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | gulzar: I see | 09:03 |
| phalaaxx | anyone familiar with SELinux under ubuntu? | 09:03 |
| gulzar | ActionParsnip: any way? | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gulzar: the source wil be in the repos too, you can make apt-get download it for you | 09:04 |

| theadmin | Fixed? | 09:19 |
| Bogy | ActionParsnip: I ran fsck /dev/hda0 (and hda1 and hda2) and got a superblock read error | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Bogy: doesn't sound good dude, copy the exact error and use the web to see what it means | 09:20 |
| Bogy | I can still see the files and such from the live cd boot and would like to copy my data to my backup disk /dev/hdb/0 but can't get permission to enter the dirs | 09:21 |
| dyd | theadmin: yes | 09:22 |
| Bogy | is there a way to get the permissions I need | 09:23 |
| ParkerR | Bogy, try running it as root or sudo | 09:24 |
| Bogy | leme try that | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | bogy: why don't you have a regular backup anyway? | 09:24 |
| llutz_ | Bogy: "sudo mkfs.ext4 -n /dev/hda1" gives you a list where superblocks would be stored. use one of those, to feed fsck -b <block-no> with | 09:25 |

| urlin2u | Pseudoephedrine, what OS'S do you have? | 09:37 |
| harleystraz | Im trying to mount a internel ide drive and when i try to mount it i get this error message: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: | 09:37 |

| ron | ActionParsnip: please, be my savior again ;) | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sup | 09:38 |
| Pseudoephedrine | urlin2u: Ubuntu11.10 and Windows Vista | 09:38 |
| ghw | i use xchar for windows | 09:38 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: installed the beta nvidia drivers in hopes to solve a different issue. it told me to stop x server, so I did. now after a reboot, x server doesn't seem to start. I see lovely text on my TV, no prompt. | 09:38 |
| undecim | harleystraz: then /dev/sdb1 is your root partition | 09:39 |
| ghw | i use xchat for windows | 09:39 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: wonder what I broke this time :) | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: how did you install the driver? | 09:39 |
| urlin2u | Pseudoephedrine, you want another bootloader or remove kernels or a older ubuntu? | 09:39 |
| harleystraz | okay. so how do i mount the drive so i can access the files on it. Ubuntu is installed on my sata drive | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | harleystraz: you mout partitions, not drives | 09:39 |
| undecim | harleystraz: then your sata drive is sdb. Try mounting /dev/sda1 | 09:40 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: downloading and running ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/295.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.09.run | 09:40 |
| undecim | harleystraz: Or better yet, if you're on stock ubuntu, just go click on the drive in your file browser | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | harleystraz: there is a PPA with that driver, it will gel better with your OS | 09:40 |
| Pseudoephedrine | urlin2u: I want to completely remove Ubuntu11.10 from the system, and leave only Windows Vista | 09:40 |
| * melvincv is now using Chatzilla. | 09:41 | |
| urlin2u | Pseudoephedrine, you have a vista recovery or install disc? | 09:41 |
| harleystraz | It doesnt show up in my file browser. it only shows up in the disk utility | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 09:41 |
| Pseudoephedrine | urlin2u: I have Lenovo recovery button, all i used to do was press the button while it was turned off and it would boot into recovery, but now it takes me to the boot menu for Ubuntu or Windows | 09:42 |
| urlin2u | Pseudoephedrine, to just have vista you have to reload the MS bootloader with a vista install or recovery disc in repair with this command bootrec.exe /fixmbr then make sure vista boots straight in them delete ubuntu. | 09:43 |
| urlin2u | then* | 09:43 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: that's awesome! what do I do with it? :p | 09:43 |

| === overmind-- is now known as suppl | ||
| rigved | hellfire: basically, when you reach the grub menu, press tab or e (which ever it is) to edit the menu entry. add "nomodeset" (without quotes) at the end of the line and press enter. | 09:54 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: it tells me I already have the latest version installed. | 09:55 |
| hellfire | rigved: I have been looking over that stuff and tried. I tried setting that mode when I installed and the same thing happened | 09:58 |

| ActionParsnip | ron: no bad thing, how is it? | 09:59 |
| rigved | hellfire: sure. what happens when you use the nomodeset parameter? | 09:59 |
| msterbrewer | if i go to system settings it only tells me of thelinux partion | 09:59 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: no, but I do have a problem related to the video driver and it was suggested the the latest beta may help. | 09:59 |
| hellfire | rigved: black blinking screen. If i restart the computer q lot and manage to get past the live cd screen and install with the nomodeset on then ultimately it winds up at the black blinking screen. I know it has something to do with my graphics card | 10:00 |
| rigved | hellfire: which graphics card do you have? | 10:01 |

| hellfire | rigved: thank you a lot though | 10:05 |
| rigved | hellfire: oh. ok. so you wrote nomodeset at the grub menu and then booted using Ctrl+X. | 10:05 |
| rigved | hellfire: you are welcome. sorry my mistake earlier. I told you to press Enter instead of Ctrl+X. | 10:06 |
| suppl | ActionParsnip, ok, will try. thanks | 10:06 |

| hellfire | rigved: ok so here is another problem now, i just rebooted and now my computer is stuck on a blank purple screen | 10:14 |
| rigved | hellfire: you will have to enter the nomodeset parameter everytime that you boot. this is because whatever changes you make in grub are not saved. they only apply to the current boot cycle. | 10:15 |

| rigved | hellfire: then, you can move ahead to find a permenant solution. | 10:18 |
| hellfire | rigved: alright i will do that here in a min. the nomodest isn't doing anything this time | 10:19 |

| hellfire | rigved: i am just getting the blinking screen again | 10:19 |
| rigved | hellfire: so, you entered nomodeset at grub and booted (using Ctrl-X), right? | 10:20 |
| hellfire | rigved: correct | 10:20 |
| hellfire | rigved: before it worked, now it doesn't | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ron: no idea. I'd stick with the stable. | 10:20 |
| ron | ActionParsnip: okay, thanks :) | 10:20 |
| rigved | hellfire: try again. this time do a cold start. shutdown computer. then after 10s start it and use nomodeset. | 10:20 |

| ActionParsnip | hellfire: which model? | 10:26 |
| hellfire | ActionParsnip: U46E | 10:26 |
| rigved | hellfire: oh ya. i see it. it's "nomodeset", that is literally "no mode set". | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | hellfire: its some intel thing, you may need the nomodeset option tll you get fully updated | 10:27 |
| hellfire | ActionParsnip: the system wont boot with nomodeset now though | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | hellfire: which release did you install? | 10:28 |

| ActionParsnip | hellfire: probably Oneiric then. | 10:29 |
| hellfire | Yes thats it | 10:29 |
| rigved | ActionParsnip: maybe hellfire can get into init 1 and find out which graphics card and release he has. maybe something from there can be done. just a suggestion. | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | hellfire: I suggest you get a wired connection and get fully updated in a root recovery console (with networking) | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rigved: I just checked the Asus website | 10:30 |
| sriram_123 | hi | 10:31 |
| hellfire | ActionParsnip: should i continue a normal boot or what | 10:31 |
| sriram_123 | why is ubuntu often called the most unstable version in whole of linux | 10:31 |
| hellfire | ActionParsnip: i chose the recovery mode | 10:32 |
| list | i am right now by installation of ubuntu system on my machine. im doing that from usb. error on boot: unknown keyword in configuration file. boot: | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | hellfire: get a wired connection, boot to recovery mode then select netroot | 10:32 |
| === list is now known as butti | ||
| ActionParsnip | sriram_123: that is offtopic here | 10:32 |
| hellfire | ActionParsnip: I am not given the option | 10:32 |
| sriram_123 | ok | 10:32 |
| rigved | ActionParsnip: and does it list any problems with Ubuntu? maybe Ubuntu friendly has hellfire laptop's specs? if it's a nvidia problem, hellfire might need the nvidia-current blob. | 10:33 |
| sriram_123 | what is the best version of linux acc to you | 10:33 |
| hellfire | ActionParsnip: I see root as an option | 10:33 |
| melvincv | sriram_123: where did you get that info? | 10:33 |
| sriram_123 | some of my seniors in using ubuntu | 10:34 |
| sriram_123 | actually i am a newbie but an aspiring linux enthusiast | 10:34 |
| melvincv | sriram_123: Did you face any issues with Ubuntu? | 10:34 |
| hellfire | ActionParsnip: Hello? Are you there? | 10:35 |
| rigved | hellfire: yes. choose the root option. | 10:35 |
| hellfire | rigved: ok | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sriram_123: for me, xpud but it suits my needs well. | 10:35 |
| rigved | hellfire: did you get the # promt? | 10:36 |
| hellfire | rigved: yes | 10:36 |
| rigved | hellfire: type ifconfig | 10:36 |
| sriram_123 | some of my friends told me about banshee not working | 10:36 |
| hellfire | rigved: done | 10:36 |
| rigved | hellfire: what do you see in the output? do you see a eth entry? | 10:37 |
| hellfire | rigved: nothing | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sriram_123: tried rhythmnbox? | 10:37 |
| sriram_123 | rythmbox is a good alternate | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | or deadbeef :) | 10:38 |
| sriram_123 | as such even my data card doesnt work | 10:38 |
| sriram_123 | seems to be an error with the dpkg-i stuff not able to real archives | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sriram_123: what data card? | 10:38 |
| sriram_123 | netword data card | 10:38 |
| sriram_123 | *network | 10:38 |
| hellfire | rigved: them command was entered and no response was given, just another blank life of # for me to type on | 10:39 |
| sriram_123 | for the internet | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sriram_123: what network does it connect to? | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sriram_123: 3G Wifi? | 10:39 |
| sriram_123 | yes | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | which? | 10:39 |
| rigved | hellfire: one moment. | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sriram_123: its either 3G or wifi.... | 10:39 |
| rigved | hellfire: have you plugged in a network cable? | 10:40 |
| hellfire | rigved: yes, but let me try doing it somewhere else | 10:40 |
| rigved | hellfire: wait. | 10:40 |
| sriram_123 | its wifi basically | 10:40 |
| sriram_123 | ActionParsnip: its wifi | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sriram_123: then why not say "It's not picking up my wifi card" instead of network data card which could mean loads of things | 10:41 |
| rigved | hellfire: type ifconfig eth0 up | 10:41 |
| rigved | hellfire: then type sudo dhclient eth0 | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sriram_123: how does it connect to the system? | 10:41 |

| ActionParsnip | CaptAnon: sure, you can drop to tty1 and run nano without any problem | 10:44 |
| rigved | noodlespo: hellfire? | 10:45 |
| noodlespo | rigved: now it wont even complete booting into recovery mode | 10:45 |
| noodlespo | rigved: sorry, yes | 10:45 |
| rigved | noodlespo: when you reach the grub menu, instead of typing nomodeset, type "init 1" without quotes. | 10:46 |
| noodlespo | rigved: stand by | 10:46 |
| noodlespo | rigved: same response, blinking screen | 10:47 |
| CaptAnon | I was thinking a little bit more then nano, ActionParsnip | 10:47 |
| CaptAnon | But thanks anyway | 10:47 |
| CaptAnon | Like a regular program like firefox and such | 10:47 |
| rigved | noodlespo: ok. one last try. use nomodeset at the recovery entry. then choose root shell. | 10:48 |

| noodlespo | rigved: is there a beta release for it? does it fix my issue? | 10:53 |
| hubx | hi, how do I install a package with apt-get without installing its dependencies? | 10:53 |
| rigved | noodlespo: i am using 12.04 and it is stable. but since you are new to linux, i would suggest that you stick to the 11.10 release. | 10:53 |
| hubx | I want to install vim-rails with depends on ruby1.8 but i need ruby1.9 | 10:53 |
| noodlespo | rigved: could I please have a link to at least try it? | 10:53 |
| rigved | noodlespo: your problem can be fixed if we know what hardware you have. | 10:53 |
| noodlespo | rigved: the OS won't boot into recovery mood anymore, why would this be? | 10:54 |
| rigved | noodlespo: well, your screen is blank. this indicates a graphics problem. do you have any other OS installed on the said machine? | 10:55 |
| rigved | noodlespo: installing 12.04 should be your last option. | 10:55 |
| noodlespo | rigved: uhm, I tried to do a clean install but in grub it for some reason gives me an option for a later version of linux that is installed (ubuntu) | 10:56 |
| rigved | noodlespo: there is an alternate CD available for Ubuntu 11.10. this can be used to diagnose problems. | 10:56 |

| phalaaxx | lanceo, uname -m maybe? | 10:58 |
| ponrajuganesh | I am not able to install any app using apt-get install command nor the synpatic package manager. It says some repository not found what could be the problem | 10:58 |
| ponrajuganesh | could any one please help solving it | 10:59 |
| rigved | noodlespo: which laptop did you say you have? you should download and use the 11.10 Alternate CD for installation. download from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/ | 11:00 |
| ponrajuganesh | when given apt-get update I am facing the same problem, at one stage it says tat the repository 404 not found. Should we change any of these | 11:00 |
| rigved | lanceo: which OS do you have installed currently? | 11:00 |
| LjL | hubx: you can't | 11:02 |
| ponrajuganesh | could any one figure out what could be the possible problem. | 11:02 |
| hubx | LjL, wtf? so dependecy are alway figured out correcly? | 11:03 |
| hubx | *-ies | 11:03 |
| ikonia | !wtf > hubx | 11:03 |
| ubottu | hubx, please see my private message | 11:03 |
| LjL | hubx: if a package depends on [a given version of] another package, it better really need it. if it doesn't, that's a packaging bug. you can always (at your risk) modify the package manually to depend on other stuff. | 11:04 |
| zeref | hi guys, i've setup internet connection sharing through my debian box to my ubuntu box, but there is no connection on my ubuntu box | 11:05 |
| triferema | i am looking c++ library language, there is one 'encursers', but i can not seem to get something | 11:05 |
| zeref | if i plug in a win box it works | 11:05 |
| jatt | wot? | 11:05 |
| hubx | LjL, yes I could. But as I don't know how Ubuntu packing works it is 10x harder than provide a convenient way as --ignore-dep dependency | 11:06 |
| ikonia | why would you want to ignore a dependency | 11:07 |
| ikonia | the phrase "dependency" meants it depends/needs it | 11:07 |
| LjL | hubx: and then we'd have tons of people complaining about their broken packages ;) anyway, what version of Ubuntu are you on and what vim-rails are you trying to install? | 11:07 |
| Ludo___ | i changed the time of server using date functionality but on rebooting server it again retains its actual time ,i want to change the time for temporary ,how would i accomplish my task | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Ludo___: you are changing it temporary, just don't reboot | 11:09 |
| Ludo___ | ikonia: i want to change it permanently so that when i reboot my date time should be what i have set by myself | 11:10 |
| hubx | LjL, 11.10, vim-rails is basically a vim-plugin which doesn't depend on a specific ruby version... but depends on ruby1.8 which is not ok with the latest rails 3.x | 11:10 |
| Ludo___ | ikonia::- please help me to do this | 11:10 |
| hubx | but thanks for your help :), installed it mannually now | 11:10 |
| wooter | Ludo___: change the time in the bios | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Ludo___: you just said you wanted to change it temporary, not perm | 11:11 |
| lanceo | rigved right now im using ubuntu | 11:11 |
| lanceo | but I want to install x64 on another computer | 11:11 |
| Ludo___ | wooter :- but how ,sorry i didnt know | 11:11 |
| lanceo | no wait | 11:11 |
| lanceo | I want to install it in this computer | 11:11 |
| LjL | hubx: what depends on ruby1.8 exactly? because http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/vim-rails has no such dependency, i guess it's comes from one of its other dependencies? | 11:11 |
| Ludo___ | ikonia read it again i said i want to set it permanently but using date functionality it is setting temperorily | 11:12 |
| ikonia | the easy way is to change the bios clock as suggested | 11:12 |
| lanceo | I can install a x86 operating system on a x64 platform right? | 11:12 |
| Ludo___ | ikonia:- ok how? what command i should use to do that | 11:13 |
| lanceo | mostly i'll use i386 | 11:13 |
| lanceo | is that ok? | 11:13 |

| ikonia | zeref: errr how else do you expect it to be on the network ? | 11:14 |
| mndo | then i backport the dependencies to the same ppa,but the build still fails | 11:14 |
| mndo | any ideas on how to solve this? | 11:14 |

| zeref | i gave it, it does not give me one when i connect | 11:18 |
| ikonia | zeref: ok, so there is your real problem, your ubuntu machine is not getting an IP address from dhcp | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | CaptAnon: nano is a regular program.... | 11:18 |
| ikonia | zeref: however I find that hard to believe, if it's getting the gateway on its own, it should get an IP address too | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | CaptAnon: I believe you can use CTRL+ALT+F6 too afaik | 11:18 |
| zeref | ok, should i use the interfaces file, or network manager? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | zeref: if I where you I would not touch the interfaces file (leave it default) and just use network manager | 11:19 |
| bal_ | is there any methode to instll keyman in ubuntu | 11:19 |

| ActionParsnip | bal_: hasn't been updated since 2006, I wouldn't bother. Seems like a dead project | 11:25 |
| bal_ | ActionParsnip: ya | 11:25 |
| bal_ | LjL: malaylam | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bal_: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmfl/files/kmfl/0.9.9/ has 2010 files but you'll be compiling. Its still quite old | 11:26 |
| zeref | ikonia: nothing.... | 11:26 |
| LjL | bal_: there is #ubuntu-in, they speak english there, but maybe they know better about making Indian languages work | 11:27 |
| CaptAnon | ActionParsnip | 11:27 |
| ikonia | zeref: then you either have a problem with your ubuntu machine not being on the correct dhcp network, or your dhcp server is not offering it an IP address | 11:27 |

| LjL | jdc4: does the file /etc/passwd.lock exist? | 11:53 |
| ikonia | LjL: normally /etc/passwd~ not .lock | 11:54 |
| ikonia | same for groups | 11:54 |
| ikonia | lsof /etc/passwd | 11:54 |
| ikonia | see what's using it / stopping it getting a lock | 11:54 |
| ikonia | probably can't get a lock as the user already exists | 11:55 |
| LjL | ikonia: uhm, vipwd creates an /etc/passwd.lock here | 11:55 |
| ikonia | LjL: never used vipwd, so don't know if that is vipwd specific | 11:55 |
| LjL | ikonia: vipw* | 11:55 |
| ikonia | same | 11:56 |
| ikonia | never use it, so don't know | 11:56 |
| jdc4 | LjL: yes i see my etc/passwd.lock file | 11:56 |
| llutz_ | adac: remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 11:56 |
| LjL | jdc4: do what ikonia said, "lsof /etc/passwd", does it return anything? | 11:56 |
| llutz_ | adac: or edit the MAC-adr in that file | 11:56 |
| adac | llutz, edit liek how? | 11:56 |
| adac | like | 11:56 |
| llutz_ | adac: check if the MAC in the file equals your eth0-MAC | 11:57 |
| jdc4 | LjL: heres what it returns: http://paste.ubuntu.com/810610/ | 11:57 |
| ikonia | I see win | 11:58 |
| adac | llutz, ok. this is a virtualbox guest, so i guess I just have to add the eth0 mac to the settings of the guest system | 11:58 |

| LjL | ponrajuganesh: you're using a non-standard mirror. are you very sure you're using official Ubuntu? | 12:11 |

| meerkats | I just updated kernel to 3.0.0-15 generic, I am using not Unity, but the fallback version in 11.10. In the bottom status bar I should see markers for the windows I am using atm, but I dont see any, | 12:14 |
| freedvd | i added the package sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc but now sudo apt-get update fails; how can i remove it? | 12:14 |
| jdc4_ | "remove /etc/passwd.lock" | 12:14 |
| meerkats | there is just an empty bar, | 12:14 |
| LjL | jdc4_: it's "rm /etc/passwd.lock" | 12:14 |
| LjL | freedvd: remove the relevant file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 12:14 |
| jdc4_ | LjL: ah sorry im kind of a noob at linux, thanks | 12:15 |
| freedvd | LjL: thanks | 12:15 |
| meerkats | while using fallback, how do I activate unity? | 12:16 |
| LjL | meerkats: i doubt that's possible without causing a mess... you should logout and in again from unity | 12:16 |
| mfaroukg | my laptop is very hot, what to do ??? | 12:17 |
| freedvd | in which ppa package can i find XBMC player? | 12:17 |
| meerkats | LjL, will the password screen allow me to choose? | 12:17 |
| LjL | meerkats: yes, there is a button to select the kind of session you want (unless you actually removed unity) | 12:17 |
| mfaroukg | my mouse freezes, what to do? | 12:17 |
| LjL | freedvd: https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/unstable has packages for up to Oneiric but, as the name says, it's an unstable version | 12:21 |
| ponrajuganesh | thanks a lot LjL it is working perfectly fine :) | 12:22 |
| LjL | mfaroukg: have you checked with lm-sensors whether the fan is running? | 12:22 |
| freedvd | LjL: so i'd better compile it myself? | 12:22 |
| ponrajuganesh | update successfully . what was the problem I did face actually LjL? | 12:22 |
| LjL | freedvd: i wouldn't know, i don't use it. i'd personally try with that "unstable" version first, but that's just me | 12:22 |
| mfaroukg | LjL; yes but I used the psensor instead | 12:22 |
| jdc4_ | LjL: shit i think i did something bad. im getting "sudo: unknown uid: 1000" | 12:22 |
| LjL | ponrajuganesh: i don't know, you had some repository mirrors i never heard about before, but no idea *why* you had them | 12:23 |
| LjL | jdc4_: (language please) are you in GNOME now? | 12:23 |
| mfaroukg | LjL; my fan is continuously running and was cooler on the win7 | 12:23 |
| jdc4_ | LjL: my apologies. yes. | 12:23 |
| ponrajuganesh | reckon since the company had some internal repository mirrors when I got my lap configured I got it only like that LjL | 12:24 |
| mfaroukg | LjL; seems some loop in the Kernel !! | 12:24 |
| LjL | jdc4_: pastebin your /etc/passwd if you don't have any sensitive information there (it doesn't actually contain passwords, those are in /etc/shadow, just usernames) | 12:24 |
| LjL | ponrajuganesh: maybe those mirrors aren't up anymore. better to use the official mirrors i think | 12:24 |
| ponrajuganesh | fine LjL thanks a lot for your help | 12:25 |
| mfaroukg | LjL; surfing through some bugs about that but they are old | 12:25 |
| jdc4_ | LjL: i accidentally removed it. i thought you meant to remove all files with passwd in it. my bad. | 12:25 |
| LjL | jdc4_: whoops, no! only passwd.lock and passwd~ :( | 12:26 |
| jdc4_ | LjL: yikes! am i in big trouble? | 12:26 |
| LjL | jdc4_: i think so. do you happen to have an "/etc/passwd-" file? | 12:26 |
| LjL | jdc4_: also i reckon you can't access root now? | 12:27 |
| UbuntuNeedHelp | LjL: thanks alot !!!!! | 12:28 |

| LjL | meerkats: no, i think Unity is called "Ubuntu" | 12:29 |
| meerkats | ? | 12:29 |
| meerkats | anyhow, In GNOME I dont see a bottom status bar, is that normal? | 12:30 |
| LjL | meerkats: the Unity session, it was my impression they called it "Ubuntu" in the login manager | 12:30 |
| LjL | meerkats: it's normal both in Unity and in GNOME-Shell i think | 12:30 |
| UbuntuNeedHelp | LjL: more one question please | 12:30 |
| phibxr | meerkats: do you have a panel to the left? if so, you are using unity, and then it's normal. | 12:30 |
| UbuntuNeedHelp | LjL: is there plugin for mms in ubuntu | 12:30 |
| meerkats | LjL, I havent read any entry with that name | 12:30 |
| UbuntuNeedHelp | ?? | 12:30 |
| LjL | meerkats: Unity has a sidebar instead, and GNOME-Shell, if my memory doesn't fail me, simply allows you to switch windows by moving the mouse to the top left corner, or something like that | 12:31 |
| meerkats | crap, where did the minimize button go? | 12:31 |
| LjL | UbuntuNeedHelp: i don't know what mms is | 12:32 |
| LjL | meerkats: there is no minimize button in GNOME-Shell | 12:32 |
| phibxr | meerkats: sounds like you're running gnome-shell if you've only got a close button. | 12:32 |
| meerkats | im officially 100 years old | 12:32 |
| UbuntuNeedHelp | LjL: mms: // -> links like this | 12:32 |

| LjL | UbuntuNeedHelp: well i have no idea, i found a downloader for them though | 12:33 |
| LjL | !info mimms | UbuntuNeedHelp | 12:33 |
| meerkats | in gnome-shell, is there any shortcut to access the multi-windowed screen, instead of moving the mouse to "activities"? | 12:33 |
| ubottu | UbuntuNeedHelp: mimms (source: mimms): mms (e.g. mms://) stream downloader. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.1-2 (oneiric), package size 10 kB, installed size 112 kB | 12:33 |
| meerkats | Why did they move the shut icon to windows position? | 12:34 |
| phibxr | meerkats: press your super/windows/meta-button. | 12:34 |
| LjL | meerkats: or Alt+F1 | 12:34 |

| TheRandom | Hi, having an issue in terminal, whenever I type sudo x (where x is any command) it goes to a new line, but doesn't then respond. CTRL+C doesn't break it. All other commands run fine. | 12:36 |
| TheRandom | It doesn't prompt for password either. | 12:36 |
| LjL | TheRandom: did you perchance change your machine's hostname? | 12:37 |
| TheRandom | LjL, not knowingly? | 12:37 |
| LjL | TheRandom: well let's see anyway, check if /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname match | 12:38 |
| TheRandom | hosts gives 127.0.0.1 localhost | 12:38 |
| TheRandom | hostname gives ubuntu | 12:38 |
| LjL | TheRandom: only localhost in /etc/hosts? there isn't a second line saying something else (like ubuntu)? | 12:39 |
| TheRandom | 2 secs, let me paste bin | 12:39 |
| TheRandom | yeah sorry | 12:39 |
| TheRandom | 127.0.1.1 ubuntu | 12:39 |
| TheRandom | and then some lines about IPv6 | 12:39 |
| LjL | TheRandom: uhm then that's apparently not the problem. | 12:39 |
| LjL | TheRandom: try giving "sudo -k" | 12:39 |
| LjL | TheRandom: does it return? | 12:40 |
| TheRandom | Nothing | 12:40 |
| TheRandom | it goes to new line | 12:40 |
| TheRandom | and now i can't break out of it | 12:40 |
| meerkats | about the windows super/mega/button, or however it is called, I want to replace it with a linux or ubuntu sticker of that same size, where do I get those? | 12:40 |

| TheRandom | i can type all I like, but terminal won't respond to anything. | 12:40 |
| meerkats | Id like to get rid of the windows logo | 12:40 |
| phibxr | meerkats: I think Canonical sells stickers with the Ubuntu-logo. A big sheet with lots of stickers, two of them for the superbutton. | 12:41 |
| petsounds | meerkats: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=16 | 12:41 |
| phibxr | meerkats: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=718 | 12:41 |
| phibxr | meerkats: I could be wrong about the size though. Never bought them myself. | 12:42 |
| mfaroukg | no use here :( | 12:42 |
| TheRandom | LjL, any bright ideas? | 12:42 |
| hero_ | hi | 12:42 |
| LjL | TheRandom: not particularly. but try "strace sudo -k" and pastebin the output, i'll see if i can make heads or tails of it | 12:42 |
| TheRandom | Two seconds, seperate machine. | 12:43 |
| meerkats | has any of you ever erased a key with any chemical product? | 12:43 |
| TheRandom | meerkats, get a sticker printed or something. | 12:43 |
| LjL | meerkats: this is veering a bit offtopic, i suggest you ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:44 |

| TheRandom | Sure, found a pen drive. | 12:47 |
| phibxr | TheRandom: just checking, did you try this with another terminal emulator? does alt+f2 and running "gksudo gedit" or something work for you? | 12:48 |
| TheRandom | LjL: http://pastebin.com/iTaE4VTT | 12:48 |
| LjL | TheRandom: wait, there is "tom@ubuntu:~$" at the end, does that mean it exited this time? | 12:49 |
| TheRandom | phibxr, alt+f2 brings up the "run a command" | 12:49 |
| TheRandom | LjL, it did exit after running strace sudo -k | 12:49 |
| TheRandom | yes | 12:49 |
| TheRandom | but then running sudo -k fails | 12:49 |
| LjL | TheRandom: wonderful, heisenbug :| | 12:50 |

| hariom | Where can I find httpd command on my ubuntu installation? | 12:56 |
| LjL | TheRandom: do you have any way to access root now (i'd need you to install a package)? | 12:56 |
| Humbedooh | hariom, it's called apache2 on ubuntu default | 12:56 |
| TheRandom | LjL, not unless you know of a way to do it without sudo | 12:56 |
| Humbedooh | or at least on ubuntu server :> | 12:57 |
| LjL | TheRandom: output of "uname -m" please | 12:58 |

| seshagiri_ | Hey could some one help me out of the problem while installing man-db. I have pasted the error report here -> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/537758/ | 12:59 |
| TheRandom | I thought i386 were intel chips | 12:59 |
| msterbrewer | i have no idea what the lan is called in english | 12:59 |
| msterbrewer | but its the one for connecting 2 computers without a router | 12:59 |
| LjL | TheRandom: no i meant 32-bit vs 64-bit. anyway it doesn't matter, it was just puzzling me that the filesize for "sudo" didn't match | 12:59 |
| TheRandom | ah sorry. | 13:00 |
| LjL | TheRandom: well i'm stuck, have a look maybe at the logs, "dmesg" might tell you something... i'm out of ideas | 13:00 |

| TheRandom | le sigh :P | 13:01 |
| TheRandom | thanks LjL | 13:01 |
| ridolien | join #sql | 13:01 |
| LjL | TheRandom: also how long have you waited for sudo to return? if it were a hostname problem (even though it doesn't seem to be), it'd probably respond after a minute or so | 13:01 |
| TheRandom | Ok I'll run a sudo apt-get update and leave it | 13:02 |
| LjL | TheRandom: maybe output of "lsof" as well, to see if sudo is trying to access something and gets stuck on it | 13:02 |
| TheRandom | LjL, lsof output gives a list longer than the terminal output :P | 13:03 |
| LjL | TheRandom: well "lsof | grep sudo" then | 13:04 |
| hariom | Hi, I am getting following error while using command "apache2 -S": apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} | 13:04 |

| yumbo | Can I run Gnome Shell without effects/corruption ? | 13:29 |
| iceroot | finish06: ro0ot its not stable so its not recommened to be used on important systems, also its offtopic in this channel | 13:30 |
| ro0ot | iceroot: Oh ok | 13:30 |
| ikonia | yumbo: what effects ? | 13:31 |
| ikonia | yumbo: gnome shell doesn't use things like compiz by default | 13:31 |
| yumbo | ikonia, it uses mutter, I know | 13:31 |
| ikonia | yumbo: ok, so what are you actually asking ? | 13:31 |
| yumbo | ikonia, but Gnome Shell gives huge corruption with the proper. AMD drivers | 13:31 |
| ikonia | yumbo: ok - so are you using amd drivers ? | 13:31 |
| yumbo | is there a way to have it not give display corruption? | 13:31 |
| alabama-man | How do I access the repository using terminal? | 13:32 |
| ikonia | yumbo: not if there is a bug in the amd drivers | 13:32 |

| ye | l | 13:32 |

| ye | you dong zhong wen de ma | 13:33 |

| zombie_monkey | jatt: yes, I know? | 13:38 |
| slakcphil | so to be clear, i can boot into ubuntu from a cold start most times without fail.. when it does freeze up.. the only way i have stopped it from reproducing is from choosing win7 from grub and waiting till the login screen to select reboot, then it will boot fine all the way without freexing | 13:39 |

| zombie_monkey | this is the first time I sshed in this desktop, I added the key I was sent, then edited sshd_config, disconnected and when I immediately reconncted the key was different | 13:39 |
| zombie_monkey | jatt: | 13:39 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: if you boot into ubuntu - what happens | 13:39 |
| slakcphil | when ubuntu freezes, i do not get any error logs in syslog, nor do I get the blinking caps lock like I do when getting a kernel panic | 13:40 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: if you boot into ubuntu - what happens | 13:40 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, most times it is fine, then sporadically it will freeze(only at the login screen when i move mouse or type) | 13:40 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: sounds like a hardware error | 13:41 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: when it freezes try hitting the capslock key, see if the light goes on/off | 13:41 |
| slakcphil | i have seen this ==> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/toshiba-satellite-c655d-s5210-freezes-under-kubuntu-and-linux-mint-892628/ | 13:41 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, i have and it does nothing, i have to press and hold the power button | 13:41 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: sounds like a hardware issue then | 13:41 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, yeah but just what is it that windows is doing to the BIOS to where i can fix by only starting to boot into windows and then properly rebooting from win? | 13:42 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: I don't think it's doing anything to the bios | 13:43 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, maybe acpi? | 13:44 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: doubtful | 13:44 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, i am afraid to let the win7 partition go since it is now somehow required to fix this problem.. I have not yet tried, but will try to next time boot into scientific linux and see if it still freezes after the ubuntu freeze | 13:46 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: I'd start running the hardware tests to be honest | 13:47 |
| ludo___ | i change my bios time through command sudo hwclock --set --date "01/25/12 18:24:00" but though after rebooting server my time is been reset to original time .i want to set it permanently .how should i do that | 13:47 |
| ikonia | ludo___: just change it through the bios as I told you | 13:48 |
| ikonia | ludo___: enter your bios and set the block | 13:48 |
| ikonia | clock | 13:48 |
| LjL | ludo___, is the time simply incorrect or is it off by some specific number of hours? if the latter, you might have the wrong timezone set. | 13:49 |
| ludo___ | ikonia :- sorry to ask such a stupid question but how to do that | 13:49 |
| ikonia | ludo___: when boot the machine you will see something like "press F12 to enter bios" - press that key and then use the menu | 13:49 |
| ikonia | ludo___: this is before ubuntu even boots | 13:49 |
| ye | `````````` | 13:50 |

| slakcphil | ikonia, what hardware tests? i can boot into win7 every day for 6 months at work and never have a freeze or any issue at all :/ | 13:51 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, the hardware seems fine | 13:51 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: that doesn't mean you don't have a hardware problem | 13:51 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: start looking at tools like memtest or cpuload | 13:51 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, i have not tried cpuload... | 13:51 |
| gwelter | ludo___: or use hwclock --systohc | 13:51 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: have you tried memtest ? | 13:52 |
| LjL | libnotify: you can make an /etc/motd.tail file and edit it to your liking | 13:52 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, yes | 13:52 |
| libnotify | LjL: says no such file | 13:52 |
| LjL | libnotify: that's why i said "make". it doesn't exist by default. | 13:52 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: how long did you leave it running for ? | 13:52 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, about 20 :) not the whole way.. | 13:53 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: 20 what ? | 13:53 |
| libnotify | will it overide the default /etc/motd? | 13:54 |
| slakcphil | ikonia minutes | 13:54 |
| LjL | libnotify: no, it will add it to the end of it | 13:54 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: that's no way a test | 13:54 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: you'll need to leave it running for a good 12 - 24 hours | 13:54 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: 20 minutes is a pointless test | 13:54 |
| libnotify | i want to override the default | 13:54 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, :/ i suppose.. now how do I do the cpuload? | 13:54 |
| ikonia | slakcphil: do memtest first, as that's the most common issue | 13:55 |
| slakcphil | ikonia, ok see you guys tonight or tomorrow, thx ikonia | 13:55 |
| slakcphil | time to memtest | 13:56 |
| libnotify | LjL: not possible> | 13:58 |
| libnotify | ?* | 13:58 |
| LjL | libnotify: not sure, i suppose you *could* try making a static motd in /etc/motd and then "chmod a-w" it, so that the update scripts can't touch it | 13:59 |

| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

| loganrun | RiXtEr-home, yes it is a warning, but how does one fix it? | 14:40 |
| LjL | sten_, others may easily know better, but all i can say is i don't think it's very easy, with no multiarch support | 14:40 |

| dimas_ | could someone suggest me a good application or way to keep my ip (location) private? | 14:40 |
| loganrun | it says before the error: Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "") | 14:40 |
| xc | ow,,,, | 14:40 |
| xc | ic,,,sorry.. | 14:40 |
| LjL | dimas_: you would need some kind of proxy server for that, but it's bound to slow your connection. | 14:41 |
| dimas_ | LjL, is that the only way? | 14:41 |
| iceroot | dimas_: not using the internet, tor, proxy (in that order) | 14:41 |
| LjL | dimas_: that i can think of. but i'm pretty sure there is no other way, because servers need to know your IP to communicate with you. | 14:41 |
| LjL | dimas_: either yours, or that of an intermediary (proxy) | 14:41 |
| timmyt | dimas_, tor | 14:42 |
| loganrun | maybe it is a but with vlc | 14:42 |
| LjL | dimas_: tor can be very slow. | 14:42 |
| dimas_ | but the proxy is when you use the browser only? | 14:43 |
| LjL | dimas_: no, you can use a proxy for other things to | 14:43 |
| winnie666 | Hello! I happened to loose SSH connection to my server while doing apt-get install a bunch of programs that take a while to install, Upon reconnection and doing "ps aux" i see apt-get is still running, will apt-get still be allowed to finish? | 14:43 |
| iceroot | winnie666: no | 14:43 |
| LjL | dimas_: there are programs that let you wrap any other program around a SOCKS proxy, for instance (which you can use with tor) | 14:43 |
| iceroot | winnie666: always use screen in the future for that | 14:43 |
| winnie666 | yes i found out about that now | 14:44 |
| dimas_ | LjL, which one? tor? | 14:44 |
| winnie666 | i didn't loose the connection intensionally | 14:44 |
| LjL | dimas_: no, tor itself doesn't do that. you can use "tsocks" for instance, with tor+privoxy. | 14:44 |
| winnie666 | why is apt-get still in the process list though? | 14:44 |
| LjL | dimas_: also if you're looking to hide your IP on freenode, you can request a cloak. | 14:44 |
| winnie666 | should i kill it? | 14:44 |
| LjL | winnie666: if you kill it, do it softly, not with -s 9 | 14:45 |
| sacred_coder | hi | 14:45 |
| iceroot | winnie666: never kill something with -9 | 14:45 |

| greg_ | hi folks, where would i need to start looking if a i can ping to an external domain name and ipaddress (such as yahoo), but can't browse via ff (either the domain or ip address)? The only bits i've found on the net so far refer to AV on windows boxes (but i'm not running windows). any help appreciated where i should start digging. thanks. | 14:47 |
| Jimu | LjL - I'm trying to compare performance of a VBox install to a HD vs. a VBox install to a USB flash drive | 14:47 |
| LjL | xc: first, delete any file having to do with firefox/mozilla from /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 14:48 |
| LjL | Jimu: so you mainly want to measure the performance of the root drive? | 14:48 |
| xc | how to delete it? | 14:48 |
| LjL | xc: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*firefox* (type this carefully) | 14:48 |
| Jimu | LjL - i guess, yes | 14:48 |
| LjL | !info bonnie++ | jimu | 14:49 |
| ubottu | jimu: bonnie++ (source: bonnie++): Hard drive benchmark suite.. In component main, is optional. Version 1.96 (oneiric), package size 69 kB, installed size 236 kB | 14:49 |
| dimas_ | LjL, how you request a cloak in freenode? | 14:50 |
| LjL | Jimu: a *very* simple way to measure the disk throughput is to use hdparm/sdparm with "-Tt" | 14:50 |
| auronandace | dimas_: first /join #freenode | 14:50 |
| LjL | dimas_: first you need to register and identify | 14:50 |
| LjL | !register > dimas_ | 14:50 |
| ubottu | dimas_, please see my private message | 14:50 |
| LjL | dimas_: then ask in #freenode | 14:50 |

| ikonia | nivyaj: ok, may I suggest using the "deb" package that is build for ubuntu | 15:40 |
| nivyaj | i dont know what deb and wget are yet | 15:41 |
| ikonia | nivyaj: that will lay it out for you and most likey give you a menu item | 15:41 |
| ikonia | nivyaj: ok - first thing https://help.ubuntu.com this should help you with the basics of using ubuntu | 15:41 |
| jeagle | basically I have PDF files with multiple pages that need to be combine with bookmarking. | 15:41 |
| nivyaj | ok. so how do i delete what i have installed? | 15:41 |
| jeagle | I can combine them fine w/o bookmarking | 15:41 |
| Slart | jeagle: hmm.. haven't used ghostscript to create bookmarks before.. do you get any bookmarks at all? or malplaced bookmarks? | 15:41 |
| jeagle | I get none. :( | 15:42 |
| ikonia | nivyaj: also on https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx you should see packages built for ubuntu (they say ubuntu and have a logo next to them) download the correct one for your OS, and if you double click it it "should" install | 15:42 |
| jeagle | Supposedly | 15:42 |
| jeagle | you have to use pdfmarks w/in ghostscript | 15:42 |
| nivyaj | ikonia: ok. so how do i delete what i have installed? | 15:42 |

| t4unt | So should it take quite a while? and what happens after It enters the boot menu? | 16:24 |
| t4unt | ^ h00k | 16:24 |
| Rango | yo | 16:24 |
| Barbariandude | t4unt, if your BIOS' boot menu doesn't work right for whatever reason, you could try just changing the boot order (should be a seperate section somewhere) | 16:24 |
| h00k | t4unt: When it enters the boot menu, it'll show you devices you can boot from. There you'd pick the USB drive | 16:24 |

| molgrum | http://paste.ubuntu.com/810822/ does anyone know which libraries i'm missing? | 16:25 |
| ryannathans | how can I edit the timeout for apt-cacher | 16:25 |
| t4unt | the boot menu worked quickly when I tested it BEFORE the USB was connected. Should I keep waiting or try another menu? | 16:25 |
| NelsonM | t4unt: when you get it booting Ubuntu correctly, the first thing you'll see from Ubuntu is a language selection screen | 16:26 |
| ryannathans | apt-cacher is the biggest crap out | 16:26 |
| t4unt | thanks NelsonM | 16:26 |
| Barbariandude | t4unt, boot menu shouldn't be taking that long. I'd say try looking for boot order elsewhere in BIOS | 16:26 |
| Zurosxeay | compdoc: yeah, it says that the disk is healthly(smart green circle) and it says, Disk has a few bad sectors | 16:27 |

| jAyenGreen_ | Confused. Using 11.10. Installed LAMP. Was trying to find why apache error file says no such function as mysql_connect. I see that the extensions directory only has pdo.so, the config.d file only mentions pdo.so, and the php.ini file doesn't list any extensions at all | 16:28 |
| PhonicUK | hey all, for some reason my post-up lines in /etc/network/interfaces aren't running on 11.10 Server | 16:28 |
| Zurosxeay | compdoc: only, the read error rate is non-zero vaule and it says good? lol why? and yes, id 197 says warning | 16:28 |
| Zurosxeay | compdoc? | 16:28 |
| compdoc | Zurosxeay, ok, but if the numbers of sectors is growing as you say, it will be showing red soon. In any case, I replace the drive if there's more than one or two bad sectors. The drive is going bad. I repair computers for a living, and Ive seen this a lot | 16:29 |
| Barbariandude | jAyenGreen_, you might have more luck in #apache | 16:29 |
| jAyenGreen_ | Barbariandude: perhaps... but I was thinking it might be a package issue | 16:29 |
| jAyenGreen_ | seems to be a php problem, not an apache problem | 16:29 |
| jeagle | Slart: Well, it looks like it is working, however, It appears as though the chapters might be a little off, for example each starting file the chapter goes maybe +1 or +2 pages ahead, It could be that my pdf view sucks lol | 16:30 |

| t4unt | Hi, I just got Ubuntu loaded about half an hour ago, and it's I'm new to this OS. I'm using this newly-built computer for Bitcoin Mining, and I was told to use either poclbm miner or cgminer, but I'm having difficulty installing either of them on my machine. | 17:35 |
| macroevolve | hi guys - i was looking at scraping loads of information from the web. I am new with all of this and am not very familiar with how Ubuntu works, etc.. Currently, the way I scrape is that I have 5 PCs (windows based) just running the scripts. I want to scle up and have two servers sitting here unused (each have 10 1TB drives, 16GB ram, and quad core processor)... Unfortunately I don't know | 17:36 |
| macroevolve | where to begin, or even what to ask someone I want to hire to do. My intention is to have each virtual machine created be under a VPN to hide my personal IP address. Hopefully someone could point me int he right direction on what I should be looking for/best way to do this | 17:36 |
| m4k | auronandace: sorry. N/W problm | 17:36 |
| auronandace | Daxter: i think you just edit /etc/default/grub | 17:36 |
| auronandace | m4k: ?? | 17:36 |
| philipballew | macroevolve, your running a server? | 17:36 |
| Daxter | there was a script conditional you had to disable to get it to work... jusat which one now.... | 17:37 |
| macroevolve | philip: yes I have 2... they are kind of just sitting here doing pretty much nothing | 17:37 |
| m4k | auronandace: sorry, n/w problem. I'm Gon | 17:37 |
| auronandace | m4k: oh | 17:37 |
| macroevolve | philip: i have 6 pcs at home.. one i am using now.. the other 5 are scraping data.. i am thinking that there must be a better way to do this then to have my scripts run one per physical PC.. it takes a lot of space too | 17:37 |
| m4k | auronandace: yeh, i will contact you later. Now im not in computer room. I'm chatting from my mobile | 17:39 |
| DragonSlay | i've installed enlightenment recently and didn't like it. so unistalled it. how can i get back my previous window manager in gnome? | 17:39 |

| auronandace | DragonSlay: unity? gnome3? or gnome2? | 17:43 |
| theadmin | DragonSlay: Metacity (or Compiz) should autostart in Gnome. | 17:43 |
| DragonSlay | auronandace, gnome2 | 17:43 |
| DragonSlay | theadmin, it didn;t, | 17:43 |
| auronandace | DragonSlay: compiz --replace | 17:43 |
| auronandace | i think | 17:43 |
| zagibu | blitz: if the software extracts to a self-contained folder, and there is no install script, simply move the folder wherever you want | 17:43 |
| theadmin | DragonSlay: metacity --replace &disown | 17:43 |
| auronandace | sorry, metacity for gnome 2 | 17:43 |
| theadmin | auronandace: Compiz works with any desktop, so that would do | 17:44 |
| auronandace | theadmin: if he has it installed | 17:44 |
| zagibu | blitz: and if you want the executable to be globally available in the console, place a softlink to it in /usr/local/bin or so | 17:44 |
| theadmin | auronandace: Ubuntu used to default to Compiz if drivers were working properly iirc | 17:44 |
| theadmin | auronandace: At least in 10.04 | 17:44 |

| Tixos | i cant open the DIR, and i cant SU to root frmo ubuntu ? | 17:57 |
| paoloubuntu | !list | 17:58 |

| auronandace | !root | Tixos | 17:58 |
| ubottu | Tixos: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:58 |
| Tixos | yes i know that | 17:58 |
| Tixos | but you cant 'sudo cd' | 17:59 |
| ubuntu1234 | If I need to manually setup the /etc/fstab, the third entry which points to the fs-type can be entered as defaults? | 17:59 |
| auronandace | Tixos: have you enabled seeing hidden folders in the file manager | 17:59 |

| rcmaehl | I have a question. I have 2 network cards in my PC. One is intergrated, the other is an expansion card. Is it possible to allow the expansion card to be used so taht I can hook another pc to the expansion card via ethernet and taht pc will have internet access from the ethernet cable that is connected to the intergrated card. Basically can I use the expansion card to hook another pc to the network through my pc? | 17:59 |
| Tixos | shh auronandace | 17:59 |
| Tixos | not everyone is incapable | 18:00 |
| Daxter | rcmaehl: set the cadr you want to shar enbet access with ,the method so "shared with other computers" in network manager settings | 18:00 |
| Daxter | bad grammar day | 18:00 |
| ubuntu1234 | Please guys answer my question | 18:00 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: pastebin your fstab | 18:01 |
| Daxter | right click network icon, chosse edit settings, the card you want to share access with set its method to shared with other computers | 18:01 |
| Daxter | ubuntu1234: question was? | 18:01 |
| rcmaehl | Daxter: O_O is it really that easy>? | 18:01 |
| Daxter | rcmaehl: yes i do this myself actually | 18:01 |
| ubuntu1234 | auronandace: I am setting it up now | 18:01 |
| ubuntu1234 | I am reading the fstab man page and doing it manually | 18:01 |
| ubuntu1234 | I have encountered a problem with running the installation scripts through the 11.04 DVD | 18:02 |
| rcmaehl | ubuntu1234: DVD or liveusb? | 18:03 |
| ubuntu1234 | I have manually completed the copying of the filesystem | 18:03 |
| ubuntu1234 | rcmaehl: | 18:03 |
| ubuntu1234 | rcmaehl: DVD | 18:03 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: so essentially you now have a frugal install? | 18:03 |
| ubuntu1234 | I am completing the setup of the /etc/fstab manually | 18:03 |
| rcmaehl | auronandace: what's frugal mean? | 18:03 |
| blitz | thanks zagibu, and if I wanted to be able to run it via a command how would I put in on my path | 18:03 |
| ubuntu1234 | and I will install grub on the MBR of the first HD manually too | 18:04 |
| Daxter | so rcmaehl set your expansion card to to 'shared with other computers'... they will be named as eth0 and eth1, use ifconfig in terminal to figure out which card belongs to which eth* | 18:04 |
| rcmaehl | Daxter: I know which card is which | 18:04 |
| zagibu | blitz: like I said, put a softlink in /usr/local/bin | 18:04 |
| ubuntu1234 | auronandace: What is frugal ? | 18:04 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest65346 | ||

| DragonSlay | theadmin, when i log out and log in , metacity won't start by default, is there any option to set metacity to default | 18:05 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: you copied the live environment to a harddrive instead of installing normally (using a live system as a harddisk install is frugal) | 18:05 |

| auronandace | ubuntu1234: why didn't you install like normal? | 18:07 |
| DragonSlay | theadmin: ok.. | 18:07 |
| ubuntu1234 | auronandace: the installation process crashed. | 18:07 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: at what point? | 18:08 |
| ubuntu1234 | auronandace: In copying the filesystem | 18:08 |
| ubuntu1234 | It asked about the user information | 18:08 |
| Krenair | Daxter, JDK 7 reached General Availability on 28 July 2011. | 18:09 |
| ubuntu1234 | and started to copy the filesystem | 18:09 |
| ubuntu1234 | but it didn't finish | 18:09 |
| ubuntu1234 | I had to manually do it. | 18:09 |
| connor_ | Sup, I'm using XFCE and I accidentally stopped xfwm4 from starting when I log in, as a result, I can't focus any windows to type in a terminal to start xfwm4, how on earth would I get it started? | 18:09 |
| Daxter | hmm but still i thought java7 was still in testing..hmm have to look again | 18:09 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: hmm, odd, have you checked the harddisk for faults? | 18:09 |
| Krenair | Daxter, I was pretty sure that oneiric users can get it from the repos... | 18:09 |
| Daxter | hmm | 18:10 |
| ubuntu1234 | I have done mount -o bind /dev /target/dev and mount -o bind /proc /target/proc | 18:10 |
| Daxter | !java | 18:10 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK).

| Daxter | right | 18:12 |
| Daxter | i typed that for myself lol | 18:13 |
| ubuntu1234 | auronandace: Am I right? | 18:13 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: if you have experience with setting up gentoo and lfs i find it rather difficult to believe you are stuck on setting up fstab | 18:13 |
| ubuntu1234 | I am not stuck, I am trying to make it like professional that is all. | 18:14 |
| ubuntu1234 | auronandace: see? | 18:14 |
| ubuntu1234 | so are the 3 steps right? | 18:14 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: i understand, but if the installer didn't finish i get the feeling that apt is going to be royally messed up | 18:15 |
| ubuntu1234 | auronandace: so how to correct the apt problem from the chroot? | 18:15 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: i have no idea sorry :) | 18:15 |

Can anyone help ? | 18:16 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: i'm more of an archlinux guy so pacman is more my style than apt | 18:16 |

| auronandace | ubuntu1234: that is done after the user info, if i recall correctly, so if you need to manually add users chances are you'd need to fix apt | 18:17 |
| auronandace | ubuntu1234: if i were you i'd start over again and try with the alternate installer if the gui one is giving you trouble | 18:18 |

| auronandace | ubuntu1234: ok, i'd try the alternate installer | 18:28 |
| ubuntu1234 | auronandace: I am having trouble with booting with the DVD though. I have done another way of downloading the CD isoimage for 11.04 and will put it on a usb flash. | 18:29 |
| ubuntu1234 | and will use it for installation if the problem persists. | 18:30 |

| ubuntu1234 | auronandace: That is what I thought. | 18:30 |
| graft | ubuntu1234: did you checksum your DVD image after downloading? | 18:31 |
| ubuntu1234 | I wonder why do non-brand DVD get scratched and the ones used by good companies don't do so frequently. | 18:32 |
| ubuntu1234 | graft: I didn't need to do so since I have downloaded it via torrent. | 18:32 |

| mang0 | theadmin: Ah, oky | 18:53 |
| jasef | Then... I wonder why it's letting me auto-remove it. | 18:53 |
| asaint | is there anyway to have the look at least like customizing the start menu ......... etc | 18:53 |
| theadmin | jasef: Some dependency mess. Do: sudo apt-get install libnl2 flashplugin-downloader (you sure it's "downloader", not "installer"?) | 18:54 |
| grendal_prime | ok pcmcia started working? | 18:54 |

| grendal_prime | i did install some laptop utils | 18:54 |

| FloodBot1 | grendal_prime: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:54 |
| theadmin | jasef: That will make it marked as "manually installed", and as such apt won't autoremove it | 18:54 |
| jasef | Nope, it definitely says downloader. Is that plugin just for Firefox, btw? | 18:54 |
| theadmin | jasef: Any browser with NPAPI support (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface). That means Firefox, Chrome/Chromium, Opera, many others. | 18:55 |
| asaint | repeating >is there anyway to have the look at least like customizing the start menu ......... etc | 18:55 |
| auronandace | asaint: in unity and gnome3? don't hold your breath | 18:55 |
| jasef | theadmin, oh... I thought Chrome had built-in flash. Ah well, the dependency problem is probably because I'm on 12.04, thanks for your help | 18:56 |
| theadmin | jasef: Chrome does have built-in flash, but it still supports NPAPI | 18:56 |
| theadmin | jasef: So I have no reason to take it out of the list | 18:56 |
| asaint | auronandace so the alternative is KDE | 18:57 |
| jasef | theadmin, okay, I just didn't know, that's all. Didn't mean any offence. | 18:57 |
| auronandace | asaint: my favourite is xfce (lxde is rather nice too) | 18:57 |
| theadmin | asaint: XFCE is closest to Gnome2. | 18:58 |
| theadmin | jasef: None taken\ | 18:58 |

| andy4 | as | 20:32 |
| DJones | shizuo16: You need to create a partition for windows to install to first using gparted etc and format it as NTFS | 20:32 |
| shizuo16 | DJones: got it ? | 20:32 |
| shizuo16 | DJones: ahha | 20:32 |
| downbeam | is there a list of terminal terms somewhere? | 20:33 |
| trism | KashyapGada: press Esc first | 20:33 |
| andy4 | i just don't want ubuntu to mount or even search for other disks on boot time | 20:33 |
| DJones | shizuo16: You'll need to boot up with a livecd first to so that you can shrink your ubuntu partition and create the NTFS partition in empty space, BUT I'd recommend a backup first before modifying your partitions | 20:34 |
| trism | KashyapGada: although if you are editing a system file, you may not have write access so you will probably need to use sudo vim /path/to/file | 20:34 |
| downbeam | is there a list of terminal terms somewhere? | 20:34 |
| bullgard6 | downbeam: Hardly. You better look out for a similar subject's list of terms. | 20:34 |

| shizuo16 | DJones: AND how can i backup | 20:35 |
| DJones | shizuo16: You can't modify your partition table if the drive is in use, so you need to use an ubuntu livecd or a gparted livecd to boot from before doing the changes | 20:35 |

| alkafoo | oh reversed =P | 21:13 |
| alkafoo | fil_: I usually do echo 'some command' | at 2315 | 21:13 |
| alkafoo | fil_: also for VLC you'd have to specify DISPLAY to get it to work, since it's a GUI app | 21:13 |
| alkafoo | probably your issue | 21:14 |

| alkafoo | yeah | 21:14 |
| alkafoo | DISPLAY=:0 vlc | 21:14 |
| fil_ | alkafoo : i also tried it with scripts commands like 'date' | 21:14 |
| alkafoo | right, but it just runs the command, it doesn't output to some random terminal you have open | 21:15 |
| alkafoo | you'd have to tell it to do that | 21:15 |
| alkafoo | try an audio command | 21:15 |

| Myrtti | !trash | 21:33 |
| ubottu | 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. | 21:33 |

| fil_ | alkafoo: in a terminal | 21:40 |
| meerkats | in ubuntu GNOME GUI, not classical, I cannot turn off the machine, there is no "shut down" option, just a "log out". This "log out" effectively shuts the laptop. However, next time I turn it on, I will only get a black screen. I must then reboot the machine to be able to log in again | 21:40 |
| alkafoo | fil_: maybe tail -n 1 -f a log file? | 21:41 |
| meerkats | plus, in GNOME classical, the bottom bar wont list the programs I use, thus, changing from one app to other is impossible | 21:41 |
| alkafoo | fil_: why in a terminal, that seems less useful | 21:42 |

| enikm4 | Pepp-elito, you have your graphic driver installed and configured properly? | 21:55 |

| Pepp-elito | yes ubuntu 11.10 with nvidia 280.?? | 21:56 |
| enikm4 | Phun5tar, i don't understand what grub has to do with mounting an external HDD | 21:56 |

| Phun5tar | my internal has 1.98 | 21:56 |
| Phun5tar | and each time I boot to my ext, my linux partition is gone on my internal | 21:56 |
| enikm4 | Phun5tar, so either boot to your external and downgrade your grub | 21:57 |
| enikm4 | Phun5tar, or do the opposite and upgrade your internals grub | 21:57 |
| Phun5tar | ^^ | 21:57 |
| Phun5tar | that's my question | 21:57 |
| urlin2u | Phun5tar, have you run update-grub on the external OS? | 21:57 |

| amk12 | hi | 22:10 |
| meerkats | urlin2u, I have gnome3 in my machine, I recognize that layout, but it gives me problems, If I "Suspend" from gnome3, next time I turn it on, it will only show a black screen, and I must reboot the system | 22:11 |
| meerkats | urlin2u, unity is that ine with the bar that appears to the left of the screen, right? | 22:12 |
| phoenix_firebrd | urlin2u: one of the lines in my wifi router log says "[DoS attack: STORM] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [192.168.1.1]" is my system used for a ddos attack without my knowledge? | 22:12 |
| amk12 | i have ubuntu 10.04... | 22:12 |
| urlin2u | meerkats, hmm what is your ram amount and how much swap do you have? | 22:12 |
| cartoonbarsmars | is there a general linux channel, i use ubuntu on desktop and want to hear the opion of android by ubuntu/linux users | 22:12 |
| meerkats | urlin2u, and I have problems with the names: in my machine I dont see unity or gnome3, I see gnome, gnomeclassical, ubuntu, ubuntu2d, and custom AFAIR | 22:12 |
| Phun5tar | I like android | 22:12 |
| urlin2u | phoenix_firebrd, I have no security experience per-say | 22:13 |
| phoenix_firebrd | urlin2u: ok | 22:13 |
| guntbert | cartoonbarsmars: #linux | 22:13 |
| urlin2u | meerkats, ubuntu and ubuntu 2 are the unity desktop. | 22:13 |
| meerkats | urlin2u, I can have up to 5.6 GiB swap, but I've never needed that much, Iǘe never had problems with that. Now I have about 50 Mib swap | 22:13 |
| === go8765|off is now known as go8765 | ||
| meerkats | ram = 2 GiB | 22:13 |
| urlin2u | meerkats, make the swap equal to your ram and see if the black screen persists. | 22:14 |
| cartoonbarsmars | until ubuntu is designed for tablets, is android a proper alternative? meaning will it have all the accompanying free software like open/libre office, etc.? | 22:14 |
| urlin2u | cartoonbarsmars, android is not supported here. | 22:14 |
| meerkats | urlin2u, afraid I cant. I only have 500 MiB free space. Increasing swap to 2 GiB would mean Im 1.5 GiB short, aint I right? | 22:14 |
| Phun5tar | it's not as fully loaded as Ubuntu, as it's geared for phones | 22:15 |

| JosephHarrietha | Could anyone tell me why? | 22:32 |
| urlin2u | JosephHarrietha, running without a password is generally not suggested. | 22:32 |
| JosephHarrietha | Its one program. I know what Im doing. Trust me. | 22:32 |
| urlin2u | JosephHarrietha, are you sure you need to and if you do if making your set up no password the answer. | 22:33 |
| urlin2u | JosephHarrietha, yeah right lol. | 22:33 |
| urlin2u | :D | 22:33 |
| guntbert | JosephHarrietha: then do it, if you know what you are doing, but don't come asking for support | 22:33 |
| JosephHarrietha | making one program able to run via sudo without a password is the right choice in this circumstance. | 22:33 |
| meerkats | in unity, dash home, search, I look for "terminal" but only "xterminal" appears, what is the correct name for the common ubuntu terminal? | 22:33 |

| urlin2u | bit | 22:34 |
| JosephHarrietha | urlin2u, Now, in this circumstance, making sudo run this single program with no password is my only viable option. All I'm asking for is to tell me what I did wrong. I've verified it against the man pages, it seems as though I did it right, but it refuses to work. | 22:35 |

| urlin2u | maxb, mandriva now has control of the boot, you could use a supergrub disc and get to kubuntu and reload grub to the mbr and update-grub and have mandriva probably, I don't know what bootloader mandrivav uses though, you might try ## linux as well. | 23:00 |

| dies_irae | Slart: the stage where it does the "Configuring Hardware" and lemme know whether there something else afterwards. | 23:02 |
| BarkingFish | and for your benefit, [deXter], mandriva is not yet bankrupt, it's in administration at this time, and an offer has been made to buy the company out. | 23:02 |

| DarkSmoke | is it posible no one can help me about this simple problem? | 23:10 |
| alecbrooks | urlin2u: Sorry, don't completely understand. You mean grub2 auto-adds entries from legacy grub? | 23:10 |

| DaveWM | can somebody explain to me what group this is assigning the permission to "chmod g+w file (Give write permission to the group)" | 23:10 |

| DaveWM | its annoying me that between that between reading editing and executing files from my normal account, www-data user, and root user, I can't seem to have any consistency in permissions working, so I made a group called wwwaccess and added all three to it, now I want to give that group full access to the web directory | 23:13 |
| urlin2u | maxhr, there are others that use grub legacy as well, it is justa matter of underatnding how to reload the mbr and where grub is installed on installations. | 23:13 |
| flowerpot | urlin2u, I mean, I'm using GRUB - it's there and working, because I can see the GRUB menu when I boot up. However, dpkg -l grub and dpkg -l grub2 both show as uninstalled. I want the interactive grub prompt, but can't find it. | 23:13 |
| urlin2u | flowerpot, you removed grub2? | 23:13 |
| flowerpot | I did not; it came like this. | 23:13 |
| ubuntu_ | i booted ubuntu via a usb drive, installed ubuntu, and when it restarted i did not see the option to boot into the new installation | 23:13 |

| flowerpot | urlin2u, it's not necessary right now, but I'm just curious since I'm looking at a set of instructions that makes use of the GRUB shell, and I'm curious as to why I can't do it in Ubuntu | 23:24 |
| spacebug- | RiotingPacifist_: ok | 23:24 |
| urlin2u | flowerpot, cool, make sure the instructions are for grub 2 | 23:24 |
| Slart | dies_irae: you're welcome.. it's still encoding the movie but it's about 40 % finished.. you want the youtube link if the video works? | 23:25 |
| urlin2u | flowerpot, or grub-legacy if you want that. | 23:25 |
| flowerpot | urlin2u, they are not...does this mean the GRUB 2 doesn't have a shell...? | 23:25 |
| DarkSmoke | Ben64: were is that file located? | 23:25 |
| dies_irae | Slart: sure why not, it'll be there for others as well. | 23:25 |
| flowerpot | urlin2u, another curiosity is that GRUB is installed on my MBR but dpkg doesn't think grub or grub2 is installed. is that normal? | 23:25 |
| urlin2u | flowerpot, the term shell is throwing as far of what that means to you, can you give alink to the instructions. | 23:26 |

| Jeruvy | Guitar_glen, just ask you question in full. If you don't get an answer in a few minutes feel free to repeat it. | 23:41 |
| Guitar_glen | ok...i booted ubuntu via a usb to install it along side win7 | 23:41 |
| LinuxApprentice | what's a good program, preferably a CLI program that supports ALOT of input formats and can output to WAV ? | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U | Guitar_glen: If nobody know the answer to your question, nobody will answer. It's not because we're ignoring you. | 23:41 |
| urlin2u | Guitar_glen, black screen | 23:41 |
| DexterF | LinuxApprentice: check out mplayer's man page on output devices, think it has a disk writer plugin. | 23:42 |
| Guitar_glen | when it installed and rebooted, there was no option to choose os | 23:42 |
| Guitar_glen | so i had to boot back into usb | 23:42 |
| Guitar_glen | how can i have the option to choose the new ubuntu os | 23:42 |
| LinuxApprentice | DexterF: but can it transcode game-console sound files? | 23:42 |
| urlin2u | Guitar_glen, you boot the thumb? | 23:42 |
| DexterF | Guitar_glen: you need to install the bootloader grub from within ubuntu | 23:42 |
| Jordan_U | Guitar_glen: So when you booted from the internal hard drive it booted Windows without any boot menu? | 23:43 |
| Guitar_glen | black screen? | 23:43 |

| LinuxApprentice | DexterF: is there a channel for stuff like this? sound files,players, encoding ,transcoding info ? | 23:44 |
| urlin2u | Guitar_glen, did you boot the thumb for install or install from windows? | 23:44 |

| murfie | zo | 23:45 |
| urlin2u | Guitar_glen, try starting the computer with the thumb in and first in the bios at times it gets the grub bootloader rather then the hd you may get a grub menu then. | 23:46 |
| murfie | rehi | 23:46 |
| DexterF | LinuxApprentice: ask for clarification then. it's ok to point out that you're a newbie on a certain subject as long as you don't get people to think you're letting them do your homework | 23:46 |

| DexterF | jason_hudson: weeeeell: there is an open src driver for radeons, hats off to the devs if they support the 6 series by now, still I'd check how feature complete that drivers is befroehand. #radeon helps. or was ist #ati..? | 23:55 |
| neuron | sqlite3-dev? | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | neuron: sounds good to me | 23:56 |
| neuron | ok, thanks | 23:56 |
| jason_hudson | DexterF: i think it's #radeon , i'll give all that a look, thanks for pointing that out | 23:56 |
| flowerpot | I've read that you can "burn" an ISO file to a USB stick by using dd. Is that true? Are there any implications to doing that I should be aware of...? | 23:57 |
| RiotingPacifist_ | murfie a kernel upgrade will not change your usefacing apps at all, if you want newer apps/unity you need to upgrade the install (e.g 10.4->11.10) i'm not suggesting that, just saying that messing with your kernel is unlikely to help | 23:57 |
| murfie | what is [7108317.516452] scrab[14642]: segfault at 0 ip 0016f330 sp bf9d3f20 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[110000+153000] | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | flowerpot: from Oneiric onwards,, yes you can use the ISO as the if= in a dd command | 23:57 |
| flowerpot | ActionParsnip, is that specific to Ubuntu or true to Linux in general? | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | flowerpot: some distros it will work, some not | 23:58 |
| murfie | I get this message few times a day | 23:58 |
| flowerpot | ActionParsnip, is it actually making a block-by-block copy of the ISO file, or is it manipulating the data somehow? | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | murfie: any bugs reported for it? | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | flowerpot: bit by bit ;) but yes | 23:58 |
| murfie | ActionParsnip: don't know.. how can I check that? | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | flowerpot: dd keeps going til either the input or output are exhausted | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !bugs | murfie | 23:59 |
| ubottu | murfie: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 23:59 |
| murfie | are there still bugs in ubuntu? | 23:59 |
| flowerpot | ActionParsnip, the thing I was worried about is...I thought ISO files were files that contained a file system specific to a CD rom...is it OK to just copy everything onto a USB stick and expect it to work? | 23:59 |
