| rahduke | one of my drives wont let me just move things to the trash, it insists i permanently delete everything, and now im getting an error when configuring sickbeard that "Failed to set permission for /media/bigdrive to 777" i feel like these issues are related.... any help? | 00:04 |

| ActionParsnip | rahduke: are you the owner of all of your $HOME ? | 00:06 |
| rahduke | ActionParsnip: looks like it | 00:06 |
| guy_ | anyone know why when running script.py I get this error : > bash: ./firewalk.py: /usr/bin/python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory and when using python script.py everything works fine ? | 00:07 |
| guy_ | anyone ?:/ | 00:08 |
| linxeh | guy_: your script is in DOS format | 00:08 |
| ohdae | Hey im having some strange error with my PATH. I have 2 python scripts, they both identify the interpreter by using #!/usr/bin/python. Running one script by using ./script.py will say "/usr/bin/python : no such interpreter" but the other works fine | 00:08 |
| linxeh | guy_: it has CRLF line breaks rather than unix LF line breaks | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | rahduke: you can make sure with: sudo chown -R $USER:USER $HOME | 00:09 |
| linxeh | guy_: you can get utilities to convert it - there are some in the repos | 00:09 |
| ohdae | like this for example..root@ubuntu:/home/hudson/Desktop/bindshella/Intersect# ./firewalk.py | 00:09 |
| ohdae | 19:03:12 !<ohdae> bash: ./firewalk.py: /usr/bin/python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 00:09 |
| guy_ | linxeh, thanks | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rahduke: your trash is stored in your home folder and may be the issue | 00:09 |
| linxeh | guy_: try apt-get install dos2unix and converting that file (make a backup first) | 00:09 |
| rahduke | ActionParsnip: Ok that would take care of my home folder, what about other drives | 00:09 |
| ohdae | but another script that starts the same will run perfectly fine | 00:09 |
| rahduke | ActionParsnip: Ohhh | 00:09 |
| guy_ | ohdae :) | 00:09 |
| ohdae | hey guy_ :D | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ohdae: what if you run it as your user but with sudo? | 00:10 |
| guy_ | check other window :) | 00:10 |
| ohdae | hrm let me try ActionParsnip | 00:10 |
| rahduke | ActionParsnip: "chown: cannot access `/home/rahduke3/.gvfs': Permission denied" | 00:11 |
| rahduke | ActionParsnip: is that the issue | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | rahduke: thats normal | 00:11 |
| rahduke | thought so | 00:11 |
| rahduke | ActionParsnip: still having the same issue | 00:11 |
| dies_irae | rahduke: maybe is not there do this --> touch /home/rahduke3/.gvfs | 00:11 |
| ohdae | ActionParsnip: The scripts actually don't run at all. I dont get the error but nothing happens at all lol | 00:12 |
| dies_irae | sorry this one --> sudo /home/rahduke3/.gvfs | 00:12 |
| rahduke | dies_irae: no issues with that command | 00:12 |
| mongy | rahduke, it's normal to not access .gvfs | 00:12 |
| ohdae | hudson@ubuntu:~/Desktop/bindshella/Intersect$ sudo ./firewalk.py 192.168.1.94 23 | 00:12 |

| ohdae | heh | 00:12 |
| meerkats | in unity, alt-tab scrolls forward, which one scrolls backewards? | 00:12 |
| FloodBot1 | ohdae: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:12 |
| rahduke | dies_irae: "sudo: /home/rahduke3/.gvfs: command not found | 00:12 |
| rahduke | " | 00:12 |
| ohdae | pft that wasnt a flood :p | 00:13 |
| dies_irae | sorry this one --> sudo touch /home/rahduke3/.gvfs | 00:13 |
| dies_irae | rahduke: that's odd cuz it's in the users dir though. | 00:13 |
| rahduke | mongy: well i cant seem to just move stuff to my trash folder, forced to delete everything and i think its screwing up my sickbeard installation | 00:13 |
| rahduke | dies_irae: agreed | 00:13 |
| dies_irae | rahduke: move it or delete it with sudo and as regular user do touch it. | 00:14 |
| mongy | rahduke, is .local/share/Trash chown to you and chmod 700 ? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ohdae: in linux, no output is good news | 00:14 |
| zak_ | Synaptic crashes consistently on my 11.10 box (Memory segmentation Error) | 00:15 |
| rahduke | mongy: ive never done that command before to that folder, should I? | 00:15 |
| zak_ | where would I start looking to remedy that? | 00:15 |
| DonCaca | amanda.... | 00:15 |
| rahduke | wow whatever i just did worked, looks like chowning that folder and chmod 700 did the trick | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | zak_: are you running it with gksudo? | 00:17 |
| zak_ | running it from terminal | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | zak_: yes but did you run: gksudo synaptic ? | 00:17 |
| cara | w00t | 00:17 |
| jrib | ohdae: your "error" is because there is a ^M at the end of your line (see dos2unix command) | 00:18 |
| cara | yay copying from windows to linux ftw :D | 00:18 |
| ohdae | jrib: hrm strange | 00:19 |
| zak_ | ActionParsnip, no, just ordinary sudo. I see now that gksu package is not installed at all | 00:19 |
| jrib | ohdae: why strange? | 00:19 |
| ohdae | i wrote it all on linux | 00:19 |
| zak_ | thats strange | 00:19 |
| ohdae | yeah heh | 00:19 |
| ohdae | Would it be because I backed up the files onto a Windows partition and then moved them back to *nix at a later point? | 00:19 |
| ohdae | they werent executed or edited on Win7 at all though, just stored there fora short time | 00:20 |
| ohdae | for a* | 00:20 |
| zak_ | ActionParsnip, same kind of error using gksudo | 00:20 |
| rixter_ | ohdae, did you open them within windows? | 00:20 |
| ohdae | rixter_: no not at all | 00:20 |
| zak_ | synaptic window pops up for a second, then disappears | 00:20 |
| rixter_ | ohdae, use dos2unix to convert them back | 00:20 |
| ohdae | I just formatted and reinstalled my Ubuntu install so maybe there's some config issue I missed? | 00:20 |
| ohdae | I'll give it a shot rixter_ | 00:21 |
| ohdae | thanks guys | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zak_: what is the error? Use a pastebin if it is multi-lined... | 00:21 |

| thechad90000 | I'm having issues with the gnome 3.2 shell. I installed it when I was testing out Ubuntu and I really loved it but now that I have Ubuntu as my only operating system, I can't get it to work. I'm in the gnome shell right now but it's not the new type of shell. It's got Applications and Places at the top but when I put my mouse at the top right, the whole dashboard and sidebars don't pop up. Nothing happens. It's just a blank desk | 00:24 |
| thechad90000 | top with no features that I wanted in the gnome 3.2 shell. Any help would be really great. | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Lolo: do you mean like show a percentage? | 00:24 |

| stahlie | I installed ubuntu 11.10 from windows 7 and now I'm dual booting. How do I mount windows 7 drive so I can have access to my pictures and videos from ubuntu? | 00:24 |
| stahlie | or is it already mounted? | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Lolo: I know what you mean, just not sure how to do it. The guys in #bash may know something | 00:24 |
| Photon-Phoenix | I don't think the Intel 82852/82855 drivers installed when I installed Ubuntu last night. Anyway to activate those manually? | 00:24 |
| Lolo | ActionParsnip, ok, thx | 00:25 |
| spacebug- | zak_: have you tried to purge / reinstall synaptic? | 00:25 |
| jwp121 | thchad90000: Are you in fallback mode? | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Lolo: it may set a variable someplace | 00:25 |
| zak_ | spacebug, tried a reinstall, yes. | 00:25 |
| spacebug- | hum ok | 00:26 |
| thechad90000 | jwp121: I'm not sure if I'm in fallback mode or not. I'm just in normal mode | 00:26 |
| cara | um we're in 2012 right? | 00:26 |
| cara | my mind is gone seriously | 00:26 |
| Lolo | actio | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Lolo: could try piping the errors to grep etc, may be able to do it | 00:26 |
| ewokbot | no we are in 1986 | 00:26 |
| rebe | I forwarded a port in router settings but transmission still shows that port is closed wtf ? | 00:26 |
| BarkingFish | cara, yes this is 2012 | 00:27 |
| stahlie | does anyone here know how to mount windows 7 so we can access to files from windows 7 when using ubunt? | 00:27 |
| Lolo | ActionParsnip, i'm trying to get an answer on #bash | 00:27 |
| jwp121 | thchad90000: try logging out and hitting the gear button, then make sure you select gnome | 00:27 |
| thechad90000 | That's what I've already done | 00:28 |
| DexterF | stahlie: UUID=06EF430E44FCFBCA /mnt/windows ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 0 | 00:28 |
| jwp121 | thchad90000: oh, gnome-shell is buggy for me, too. | 00:28 |
| zak_ | spacebug- problem is consistent even after purge. | 00:28 |
| DexterF | add such a line to your fstab. create mount point accordingly and replace uuid with the one of your win partition. blkid should tell you | 00:29 |
| thechad90000 | jwp121: Yeah it worked so good just a few minutes ago and then when I went to only dedicated Ubuntu and now it doesn't work | 00:29 |
| phillyj | anyone happen to know what maximum size of the terminal will fit stuff I type without word-wrapping on A4 paper when I print? | 00:29 |
| michael__ | if i wanted to try xfce and want it as default de instead of kde can i delete kde and only use xfce or is it best to install xubuntu ? | 00:29 |
| stahlie | DexterF, ok blkid will tell me what uuid is my windows drive? | 00:29 |
| DexterF | stahlie: should. | 00:30 |
| zak_ | that is, synaptic window flashes briefly on screen, then disappears, and a memory segmentation error gets printed to sderr/sdout if I am root already | 00:30 |
| cara | for some reason I was thinking we were in 2011 | 00:30 |
| cara | to much cold meds | 00:30 |
| cara | *too | 00:30 |
| cara | I only asked because I was wondering when 12.04 was coming out LOL | 00:30 |
| cara | and lag | 00:30 |
| FloodBot1 | cara: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:30 |
| Photon-Phoenix | Is there anyway to manually activate the Intel 82852/82855 drivers that came with Oneiric? | 00:30 |
| cara | lol I'm lagging not flooding | 00:30 |
| zak_ | if using sudo / gksudo to start synaptic, no error message is printed to the terminal | 00:30 |
| spacebug- | zak_: I think I have had that problem once but can't remember where the problem where. Maybe with some of the source-lists or something | 00:31 |
| stahlie | DexterF, blkid as in block device id library? | 00:31 |
| === greentux|ganteng is now known as greentux_ | ||
| ActionParsnip | cara: look at the version number, then have a wild guess | 00:31 |
| DexterF | stahlie: dunno. possible. | 00:31 |
| zak_ | ok ill look into that, spacebug. | 00:31 |
| cara | ActionParsnip, I know its coming out in April of this year | 00:32 |
| cara | I just had a brainfart thinking it was 2011 | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | cara: ;) | 00:32 |
| stahlie | DexterF, i've never used blkid before...how do you identify UUID with blkid? I ran like blkid -U /dev/sda2 and nothing happened | 00:33 |
| DexterF | stahlie: just jun blkid | 00:34 |
| DexterF | liek that | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | stahlie: sudo blkid | grep sda2 | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | DexterF: blkid needs sudo | 00:34 |
| Photon-Phoenix | Is there anyway to manually activate the Intel 82852/82855 drivers that came with Oneiric? <-- They didn't install since my graphics in sysinfo are "Unknown" | 00:35 |
| stahlie | ActionParsnip, yes sudo helped.. | 00:35 |
| bluezone_ | wouldn't it be nice if we could install more than 1 thing at a time? :) | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Photon-Phoenix: you may need an xorg.conf file to make the display as you wish | 00:35 |
| spacebug- | zak_: of try start it with 'sudo gdb synaptic' | 00:35 |
| ohdae | ActionParsnip: thanks for the help, you were right about the dos2unix issue | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bluezone_: it'd compromise the integrity of the packages. The windows installer is exactly the same | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ohdae: don't think it was me. I believe it was ikonia | 00:36 |
| ohdae | Ah well thanks either way heh | 00:36 |
| bluezone_ | ActionParsnip, "integrity" ? | 00:36 |
| DexterF | oh, great, I upgraded to precise by accident. good thing it's only my tinker laptop... | 00:36 |
| ohdae | :D | 00:36 |
| ohdae | ttyl guys | 00:36 |
| cara | brb | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | bluezone_: sure, you could install a package with one terminal then uninstall some app with another which may affect the install. It'd be a mess | 00:36 |
| jwp121 | Is there a way to have one gpg key that works on two computers? | 00:39 |
| jwp121 | nm I found a guide with the pros and cons through google. | 00:40 |
| bluezone_ | ActionParsnip, hmm, well even programs like jockey-gtk will disallow installing other apps even if it's not installing (while it's downloading the driver for instance) | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bluezone_: the semaphore is still taken, but I see your point | 00:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bluezone_: personally I think the packages should be extracting while the other packages are downloading too, rather than download them all then extract them all | 00:41 |
| zak_ | spacebug-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/811345/ | 00:43 |
| bluezone_ | ActionParsnip, hmm maybe there's an underground way to do it hehe | 00:43 |
| spacebug- | zak_: hum.. prova dra in libc6 igen då | 00:45 |

| === max is now known as Guest38931 | ||
| isaac_ | Ok, it's a wubi install, acerimmer | 02:21 |
| acerimmer | isaac_: boot windows, defrag. BTW, the error you see is QUITE common with wubi. Consider installing a proper dual boot. | 02:22 |
| isaac_ | What caused it? I never use windows, so :/ | 02:22 |
| isaac_ | And the only thing I use ubuntu for is as a webserver so I can learn some website development and etc | 02:23 |
| almoxarife | acerimmer: perhaps then you can lead isaac_ to the quite common fix? | 02:23 |

| thechad90000 | jughead88: I suppose once that is finished I should log out and log back in or restart my computer to see if it works? | 03:35 |
| Gregor_The_Miner | erase I think that java.com has it available on the download page. | 03:35 |
| hicham | actionparsnip i am new at ubuntu, so this is chinese for me | 03:36 |
| codazoda | My MacBook Pro (7,1) won't boot the 3.0.14 or 3.0.15 kernels. If I use 3.0.13 it boots fine. Any thoughts on what to look for? It stops at the ubuntu screen after all the dots fill in. | 03:37 |
| ActionParsnip | hicham: press CTRL+ALT+T and paste the command to the terminal, copy the output and go to http://pastie.org | 03:37 |
| ActionParsnip | hicham: paste the text there and hit paste, when the page changes, copy the new address in the address bar and paste it here | 03:38 |
| ActionParsnip | codazoda: what video chip dos it use? | 03:38 |
| hicham | axtionparsnip whitch command? | 03:38 |
| ActionParsnip | hicham: the one you said was 'chines'.... | 03:39 |
| Gregor_The_Miner | hicham, when you try pasting it to the terminal use ctrl+shift+v, not just ctrl+v. | 03:40 |
| codazoda | ActionParsnip it's using the nVidia GeForce 320M. I think I added ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and then installed nvidia-current, but it was way back. | 03:40 |
| hicham | actionparsnip this code? lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | codazoda: I suggest you uninstall the nvidia driver then boot to the newer kernel and reinstall it | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | codazoda: you are using a 3rd party ppa which we cannot support here | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | hicham: yes | 03:42 |

| ActionParsnip | hicham: I clearly stated go to http://pastie.org didn't I..? | 03:43 |
| codazoda | ActionParsnip: Last time I tried to remove nvidia it took a while to get it to boot at all. What's the best process for removing it? Just apt-get remove nvidia-current then remove the ppa? | 03:43 |
| ActionParsnip | codazoda: sounds like a good move, not sure what else it will remove | 03:43 |
| codazoda | ActionParsnip: Okay, I may try that again. If it doesn't work I'll just reinstall from scratch. | 03:44 |
| hicham | actionparsnip i went to pastie, i pasted, but what next? | 03:44 |
| codazoda | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the tip. | 03:45 |

| ActionParsnip | codazoda: well, you added the ppa, what do you expect? Did you read all the warnings on the ppa | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormx2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormx2: I'd comment your line out so you can keep it in the file | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | hicham: copy the address in the address bar and paste that here | 03:46 |
| thechad90000 | jughead88: I did what you said to do and nothing happened. My terminal went crazy for forever but I still have the same desktop environment as before | 03:46 |

| UnknownFork | And I'm running it on my desktop | 04:06 |
| UnknownFork | I thought so | 04:06 |
| KeithWeisshar | should i download the cd version or dvd version? | 04:06 |
| UnknownFork | DVD | 04:06 |
| destryalhmns | idk though, that is just a guess, im a noob here too | 04:06 |
| KeithWeisshar | does the dvd version only have language packs? | 04:07 |
| UnknownFork | Yes | 04:07 |
| zantiosx | KeithWeisshar: cd if you have a fast connection | 04:07 |
| KeithWeisshar | what should i use to burn the iso from windows | 04:08 |
| zantiosx | right click it and hit burn to disc at the top of the menu | 04:08 |
| Moult | i've got a remote box i set up for somebody on ubuntu - they use the software center to manage their software, but i sometimes ssh in and use aptitude. do the two talk to each other and cooperate? (I assume they all use apt-get underneath) | 04:09 |

| Puma1337 | KeithWeisshar, try imgburn | 04:10 |
| Moult | Puma1337: remove the spaces between the = ? | 04:10 |
| zantiosx | KeithWeisshar: win 7 you can just right click the iso and burn | 04:10 |
| Puma1337 | Moult, LOL | 04:11 |
| KeithWeisshar | the windows 7 iso burning doesn't actually finalize the disc, it leaves disc open | 04:11 |

| Moult | Puma1337: np :) | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | KeithWeisshar: remember to MD5 test the ISO | 04:11 |
| zantiosx | UltraISO is good as well | 04:11 |
| KeithWeisshar | the windows 7 built-in iso burner doesn't finalize the disc, it leave the disc open for additiona files the same way the burn disc from windows explorer in mastered format does | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | KeithWeisshar: could try infrarecorder | 04:12 |
| KeithWeisshar | there is a bug in the windows 7 iso burner that leaves the disc open after burning | 04:12 |
| UnknownFork | Wubi is good | 04:12 |
| Puma1337 | KeithWeisshar, imgburn is lightweight and really good | 04:12 |
| KeithWeisshar | imgburn always finalizes the disc | 04:12 |
| UnknownFork | Wubi is best | 04:12 |
| UnknownFork | Just install Wubi | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | UnknownFork: its ok for a quick test, as a longterm solution its not great | 04:13 |
| KeithWeisshar | is wubi only included on the cd version of ubuntu | 04:13 |
| UnknownFork | What do you reccomend for a longterm solution then? | 04:13 |
| KeithWeisshar | is wubi only on the cd version and not the dvd version | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | UnknownFork: true install to an Ext4 partition | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | KeithWeisshar: its on both | 04:14 |
| KeithWeisshar | does wubi have a bug where it fails to clean up the windows boot loader after uninstall on 64-bit systems | 04:15 |
| KeithWeisshar | dues wubi have a bug on 64-bit where it fails to remove ubuntu from the windows boot loader after uninstall | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | KeithWeisshar: not sure there, if you want an easy alternative to wubi, use virtualbox ;) | 04:16 |

| NeuralJack | Moult: Yes, I can get a console and log in that way. | 04:21 |
| Moult | NeuralJack: yes, then just vim your xorg.conf manually - i don't know where ubuntu has it, probably /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:22 |

| rainfyre | Hey all. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 to a partition on my hard drive, ubfortunately, GRUB was written to the flash drive, and the Ubuntu partition only shows up when I boot from the flash drive. | 05:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Phr3d13: use the xorg edgers UPDATE ppa (less fresh), you can get the 290 driver there | 05:04 |
| ActionParsnip | rainfyre: boot with the flash stick in then run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda assuming sda is youinternal drive | 05:05 |
| rainfyre | If the flash drive isn't there, I boot straight into Debian, Ubuntu isn't in the boot menu. How do I fix GRUB so that it shows Ubuntu when I'm booting from my hard drive? | 05:05 |

| theadmin | edbian: Change your options to "defaults,noauto". That way you can mount the device manually by "sudo mount /dev/sdb1", but it won't automount at boot. Easy enough I think. Also, this in rc.local will save you the trouble: [ -e /dev/sdb1 ] && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 | 05:30 |

| thomedy | question.. ihave my wireless set up... i ran update and upgrade | 06:50 |
| thomedy | but i cant connect to a particular network | 06:50 |
| thomedy | my homenetwork | 06:50 |
| thomedy | i can however connect to my libraries or various other networks | 06:50 |
| thomedy | my rfkill list shows no blocks | 06:50 |
| thomedy | and im 99 percent sure my password is correct because i can connect to the network on my phone | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ubluntu: you started asking about importance... | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | thomedy: can you ping your router's IP? | 06:51 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: That wouldn't really be possible without establishing the connection to the network it's on first, right? | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: i've heard people say 'network' when they mean 'file share' | 06:52 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: lol oh | 06:53 |
| thomedy | ooh let me try | 06:53 |
| semitones | i have a computer with ubuntu and windows dual booting. I want to copy this failing HDD onto a new one, and switch them. Is that possible? | 06:53 |
| theadmin | semitones: ddrescue | 06:53 |
| semitones | it hasn't failed yet | 06:54 |
| semitones | it's just making sounds that sound like it will fail soon | 06:54 |
| ubluntu | check out dmesg | 06:55 |
| theadmin | semitones: Still ddrescue. | 06:55 |
| theadmin | semitones: lol | 06:55 |
| semitones | ok | 06:55 |
| ubluntu | if you can hear it. thats not good | 06:55 |
| ubluntu | alot of clicking ? | 06:55 |
| semitones | does it come on the ubuntu live cd? | 06:55 |
| semitones | ubluntu: more like whining | 06:55 |
| semitones | when the computer turns on, it makes a horrible whirring noise when the drives spin up | 06:56 |
| semitones | I hard power down and hope it won't do it again when I turn it on again | 06:56 |
| thomedy | quick question.. i just moved to a new state with my wife and we are staying at families till we get our place... that being said the internet here i soff the landlord... and i dont have a physical machine to check ip... i ran iwlist wlan0 scan | 06:56 |
| oconnore | semitones: you had better act quickly slash I hope you have backups | 06:56 |
| thomedy | but i cant figure out ip | 06:56 |
| semitones | oconnore: the new hdd just came in the mail a few days ago | 06:57 |
| semitones | i'm reading up on ddrescue now to figure out how to clone the hdd to the new one | 06:57 |
| lotuspsychje | thomedy: maybe etherape could help find the ip | 06:57 |
| datruth_ | How can I map the windows key + the d key to minimize all winxows? | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | semitones: could just use your backups. I assume you have some as the data seems important.. | 06:58 |
| thomedy | you know what i can find the ip on the other machine im actually connected one sec | 06:58 |
| semitones | ActionParsnip: the documents folders are all backed up to dropbox and ubuntu one -- i'd mostly be losing programs and media | 06:58 |

| thomedy | is that similar | 07:08 |
| njathan | coolstar-pc: i have tried the ubuntu with persistence option using the utility in the live CD, but the booting is very erratic... boots the first time.. then never does. So i am looking to do a full install on the thumb drive | 07:08 |
| jdog2pt0 | Can anyone help me out with a vesafb error? | 07:08 |
| njathan | urlin2u: 2 Gb | 07:08 |
| rob_p | thomedy: Until you an establish the wireless connection, you're wasting your time trying to ping...It's like disconnecting your ethernet cable and trying to ping another host...The physical connection is not in place, or in this case the wireless, which acts as the physical connection, is not established. | 07:09 |
| thomedy | oh dug | 07:09 |
| thomedy | duh | 07:09 |
| urlin2u | njathan, not big enough for a full install. | 07:09 |
| thomedy | ha ha ha | 07:09 |
| thomedy | right | 07:09 |
| thomedy | okay rob_p im listening... please direct me | 07:09 |
| njathan | urlin2u: well i can arrange for a 8 gig one too.. | 07:09 |
| * coolstar-pc tried installing ubuntu on his external drive once, but it didn't quite work | 07:09 | |
| thomedy | cuz again i can connect anywhere else and my phone can connect herre | 07:09 |
| njathan | just need to know if its possible at all | 07:10 |
| thomedy | so im not all that good yet but im getting better and you could be apart of that process do i really have to sell this... okay please help | 07:10 |
| oconnore | datruth_: yeah. sudo apt-get install xdotool, then go to system settings > keyboard shortcuts and add one in "custom" that does xdotool key ctrl+alt+d | 07:10 |
| urlin2u | njathan, that ill work you just have to use the cutom install and make sure grub is put on the thumb. | 07:10 |
| urlin2u | will* | 07:10 |
| rob_p | thomedy: However, if you're just trying to sniff packets, there are some wireless tools that can do it without having established a connection. What are you trying to accomplish? | 07:10 |
| urlin2u | custom* | 07:10 |

| oconnore | datruth_: from http://askubuntu.com/questions/97219/how-to-show-desktop-from-command-line-in-unity-in-oneiric | 07:11 |
| thomedy | well when im out i can cconnect to random networks but id rather be able to work from home and have the convenienc e of not havoing to go to a coffee shop every day | 07:11 |
| moonunitzappa | how can i install 32bit lib on ubuntu 64? | 07:11 |
| thomedy | i cant connect at home | 07:11 |
| thomedy | or at my inlaws | 07:11 |
| thomedy | but i can connect elsewhere | 07:11 |
| urlin2u | njathan, at the choice of where to install use the something other and change the thumb to a ext4 mount with / and make sure the grub dropdown is pointed at the thumb | 07:12 |
| rob_p | thomedy: Can you see the wireless network when you scan for it? | 07:13 |
| thomedy | yep | 07:13 |
| moonunitzappa | Whats the 32bit lib for intell command? | 07:14 |
| thomedy | curious though when i ping i get network unreachable and the scan says no scan results.. then i have to ifconfig up the wlan0 | 07:14 |
| thomedy | to get it back | 07:14 |
| njathan | urlin2u: I did that.. thats where it did not give me the /dev/sdb option... is there an argument i should be passing while booting? | 07:14 |
| thomedy | why is that | 07:14 |
| rob_p | thomedy: So then you need to figure out what's different about your inlaw's wireless network... Perhaps they are mac filtering... | 07:14 |
| njathan | or perhaps boot into live and then try install (with out the usb recorder utility)? | 07:14 |
| thomedy | i have been able to connect here before then poof nothing | 07:15 |
| thomedy | so i upgraded to 11.04 or whatever im on prob .1 actually | 07:15 |
| thomedy | and got wired connection to update/upgrade | 07:15 |
| urlin2u | njathan, if we are talking about the same gui a 2 gig thumb may not show not sure really | 07:15 |
| thomedy | now i have a connection anywhere but here | 07:15 |
| thomedy | but i had one here before | 07:15 |
| njathan | urlin2u: ok.. i'll try with the 8 gb one and come back | 07:16 |
| datruth_ | oconnore: thanks even with that installed still doesn't seem to work | 07:16 |
| * datruth_ might have to install the ubuntudesktop again | 07:16 | |
| urlin2u | njathan, if you were trying to install to a thumb while using that wont work as well. | 07:16 |
| rob_p | thomedy: I'd try to eliminate some of the easy possibilities like asking them if they are filtering mac addresses. It could be something as simple as that! | 07:16 |
| thomedy | they wouldn't know i could tell you that right now... im the techiest guy in the family cuz i have kids and am a comp sci major in college but i havent done admin in my linux/unix classes yet | 07:17 |
| rob_p | thomedy: ...and I'm assuming that other wireless devices are able to connect? The reason I ask is that some wireless routers have glitches and need to be rebooted on a regular basis | 07:19 |
| thomedy | yeah other machines connect | 07:19 |
| thomedy | my brothers laptop, my phone, my wifes phone | 07:20 |
| rob_p | thomedy: I'm assuming it's WPA secured... | 07:20 |
| thomedy | okay thats progress... but i have the password | 07:21 |
| moonunitzappa | anyone here ever get XAMPP to work on 64bit ubuntu? | 07:21 |
| rob_p | thomedy: ...and you have your WPA supplicant (or whatever is being used these days in Linux) configured? | 07:21 |
| thomedy | okay im goign to google wpa cuz in hearnest i dont actually know the real defination only th what it describes | 07:21 |
| thomedy | probably not honestly | 07:21 |
| lotuspsychje | !xampp | 07:21 |
| ubottu | We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 07:21 |
| thomedy | i hav eno idea how to do that at all | 07:21 |
| rob_p | thomedy: That would be why then. The wireless access point won't let you connect without having the key configured properly. | 07:22 |
| thomedy | yay | 07:22 |
| thomedy | okay if you dont mind it would be easier on me if you showed me how to fix taht but if not i can easily and have already started to google it | 07:23 |

| lotuspsychje | !java | 07:42 |
| 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). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 07:42 |
| rob_p | thomedy: You could grab an example off the 'Net and tweak it for your needs: http://linux.die.net/man/5/wpa_supplicant.conf | 07:42 |

| rob_p | thomedy: If it's installed and the file still isn't there, then the package maintainer may have just been lazy and didn't put it in that location. But usually you can find an example in the docs. | 08:02 |

| wwwd | Hey All! I am trying to get my mind around building and installing software from source. If i do make and then make checkinstall is it allways the case that the package will then be easilly removed/uninstalled? | 08:44 |
| nanoguy | Question: Help me how to get system tray restored no ubuntu 10.10 maevrick. Because i lost it last week | 08:44 |
| damo22 | wwwd i wouldnt build from source unless the prepackaged bundles dont have all the right flags for your needs | 08:45 |
| _rahmat_ | nanoguy could you right click on the panel? | 08:45 |
| damo22 | thats what packagers spend all their time doing, building the debs | 08:46 |
| magnus_ | wwwd, it depends on the makefile, but if the developers wrote it in a standard way, then yes. you can also pass a PREFIX to configure to have "make install" put it in a custom location where it's more easily removed, if you want to be able to uninstall easily | 08:47 |
| ljsoftnet | what does openbox controls made of, qt or gtk? | 08:47 |
| wwwd | Understood. Two points. First I want to use Erlang R15B. And I am interested in learning to do admin and this seems like important stuff. | 08:47 |
| theadmin | ljsoftnet: gtk | 08:48 |
| wwwd | magnus: I thought it was best to use make checkinstall instead of make install now. | 08:48 |
| ljsoftnet | theadmin how do i make a system wide change of gtk theme in openbox? | 08:49 |
| theadmin | ljsoftnet: There are apps for that, try lxappearance | 08:49 |
| theadmin | Not so sure I spelt that right | 08:49 |
| ljsoftnet | theadmin i did but its not system wide | 08:49 |
| theadmin | ljsoftnet: What do you mean, "system wide"? For all users? | 08:50 |
| theadmin | ljsoftnet: No real idea how to do that, but I guess copy the files over | 08:50 |
| magnus_ | wwwd, i think the general way is to just run checkinstall manually, i.e. not use a makefile target | 08:50 |
| magnus_ | so, ./configure, make and finally "checkinstall" | 08:51 |
| ljsoftnet | theadmin i mean, i want all the apps to have one theme | 08:51 |
| theadmin | ljsoftnet: Supposed to do it... Not sure why it doesn't work for you. Huh. | 08:51 |
| ljsoftnet | theadmin ah | 08:51 |
| theadmin | ljsoftnet: There is some tool for Openbox specifically which handles appearance, let me look the name up | 08:52 |
| ljsoftnet | theadmin ok | 08:52 |
| theadmin | ljsoftnet: Oh, no, sorry, that *was* lxappearance lol. Just thought it's something specific to Openbox, it looks so native >.< | 08:54 |
| magnus_ | wwwd, really, the best way to admin apps on a system is to use the debian package system, which is also used by ubuntu. see man apt-get | 08:55 |
| nanoguy | i have panel but system tray only lost containing network applet manager and hp toolbox | 08:57 |

| zlszk | hot2trot: you are welcome | 09:55 |
| Dixie_ | -_- can someone please expain what "sudo -i" does. | 10:00 |
| zlszk | Dixie_: does it change the usr to "root" ? | 10:02 |
| ubuntu_ | hi does any body no how to use std volume button on a laptop using a sound blasyter usb soundcard | 10:02 |
| pnorman | Dixie_: It simulates logging in as root, changing the env. variables | 10:03 |
| Dixie_ | simulates logging in as root? is that why i cant view any other directories other than whats on my desktop | 10:04 |
| pnorman | sudo -i is run within a terminal | 10:04 |
| Dixie_ | but if it simulates root, whats the difference between sudo -i and sudo su | 10:05 |
| Dixie_ | when i sudo -i the only listed directory after enterting an ls command, is Desktop | 10:06 |
| pnorman | Environment variables are set correctly with sudo -i, with sudo su you can do stuff like make your user's .nano_history only readable by root | 10:06 |
| pnorman | Dixie_: | 10:06 |
| pnorman | Dixie_: Check where you are with pwd | 10:06 |
| glebihan | Dixie_, that's because when you use "sudo -i" it creates a new login shell, which means it goes to the root user's home folder, ie /root | 10:10 |
| Dixie_ | ohhh ok, so essentially, if i were to sudo su, i'd would essentially be root, in my users directory. and i'd have to cd, to find myself in /root | 10:11 |
| glebihan | Dixie_, if you want to get a permanent login as root and stay in the current folder, use "sudo -s" | 10:11 |
| Dixie_ | and if i just sudo -i, i'm automatically in /root | 10:11 |
| glebihan | Dixie_, just don't use "sudo su" | 10:12 |
| Dixie_ | oh ok | 10:12 |
| glebihan | Dixie_, "sudo -i" or "sudo -s" are the good ways to log in as root | 10:12 |
| Dixie_ | gotcha, thanks guys, for being helpful lulz | 10:13 |
| Dixie_ | i was expecting some "gtfo noob" response | 10:13 |
| pnorman | I don't think sudo -s correctly sets the environment variables | 10:13 |
| glebihan | pnorman, yes it does | 10:13 |
| pnorman | What's the difference between it and sudo -i? | 10:14 |
| glebihan | pnorman, "sudo -i" creates a login shell, "sudo -s" doesn't | 10:14 |
| Dixie_ | oh, all i see is that sudo -i, puts me at root, in /root. and sudo -s puts me at root, when whichever directory i was in after issuing the command | 10:15 |
| Dixie_ | lol, idk what this environment variable talk is | 10:15 |

| drzero | anyone using Thunar? | 10:43 |
| theadmin | drzero: Yes? | 10:43 |
| FredN | yes, that's what I mean...but it is a command...I want it to list my tasks, with the command 'task' | 10:43 |
| theadmin | FredN: gnome-terminal -e 'task && read junk' | 10:44 |
| drzero | theadmin, Thunar + PTP camera -> clue me in? | 10:44 |
| scarleo | FredN, yes you can add any command to startup applications | 10:44 |
| theadmin | FredN: The "read junk" will stop it from closing | 10:44 |
| FredN | okey good, thanks! | 10:44 |
| theadmin | drzero: I don't even know what a PTP camera is | 10:45 |
| wilbur | drzero, so i pretty much just ran lcspi and then saw bcm4318 and then went to synaptic searched bcm4318 and found a package for it and im installing it right now and uh gonna restart and see what happend | 10:45 |
| drzero | theadmin, one of those digital cams that when connected to USB does not present itself as mass storage but rather uses PTP protocol | 10:45 |
| aries | aplay -l does not display inernal sound card | 10:46 |
| wilbur | drzero, guess what better news i didnt evan have to restart its working right now | 10:46 |
| drzero | wilbur, excellent :) | 10:46 |
| theadmin | drzero: Oh... no idea | 10:46 |
| drzero | ok | 10:46 |
| wilbur | drzero, thanks for the help and if u havnt u should check this lubuntu stuff out its not half bad brnag this old comp back lol looks liek crap though but runs smooth | 10:47 |
| drzero | anyone have an idea how to make Thunar see PTP camera as a volume / filesystem of sorts? | 10:47 |
| MonkeyDust | drzero "PTP on Linux and other free software/open source operating systems is supported by a number of libraries, such as libgphoto and libptp, libraries used by applications such as digiKam and F-Spot." | 10:50 |
| drzero | MonkeyDust, thanks - I know - it is just that I've heard of people being able to integrate it with Thunar and I wasn't able to figure out how - as far as getting pics off it is not a problem with Gtkam | 10:52 |
| drzero | but it would be nice to see it as a volume | 10:52 |
| MonkeyDust | drzero try mounting it somehow | 10:53 |
| aries | i don't know why ubuntu isn't dtecting my soundcard only my nvidia card | 10:53 |
| theadmin | drzero: ptpfs can help (just found it, not sure if it's in the repos) | 10:54 |
| theadmin | !find ptp | 10:54 |
| ubottu | Found: network-manager-pptp, network-manager-pptp-gnome, pptp-linux, pptpd, gosa-plugin-pptp | 10:54 |

The login screen comes up and i am unable to do anything. | 11:08 |

| AxonetBE | is it bad to call a file like this app_name_namespace:task | 11:10 |

| AxonetBE | theadmin: ok, but just to check because I guess on windows it is not possible :) | 11:11 |
| theadmin | AxonetBE: Yeah, you won't be able to open the file on Windows until you rename it | 11:11 |
| AxonetBE | theadmin: but don't need it on windows, it is just a temp file on ubuntu so perfect | 11:12 |

| theadmin | laplinker: Yes? | 11:15 |
| laplinker | i want to emulate a disconnection and then a connection of a device using the usb port, thought is to cut power to the port and then turn power back on. so far no success. any tips/thought? | 11:16 |
| laplinker | thanks! | 11:16 |
| laplinker | forgot to mention:starting point is device connected and mounted via the USB port | 11:17 |
| Ben64 | laplinker: can't cut power to a port | 11:17 |
| theadmin | laplinker: What is it you want to acheive anyway? Why do you need to disconnect it? | 11:17 |
| laplinker | i have an open source forensic project i use with iPhones, the problem is that in iOS>5 (as far as i know) it will only allow access to 5 folders on the device FS, I can choose which 5 but only after i unplug+plug the cable to the mcahine | 11:19 |
| wookienz | team, my permissions theory is rubbish. if i mount a nfs share, should i chmod 777 the .avi files so i can mke changes on the nfs client side. Or do i really need to change how i mount it so not everything is executable? | 11:19 |

| loconut | i put in user name, click the sprocket, select ubuntu classic, enter password, login | 11:28 |
| loconut | get unity. | 11:28 |
| MonkeyDust | wookienz cant say, doesnt ring a bell | 11:28 |
| robin0800 | loconut: you need gnome classic and normal gnome gnome shell that is is probably crashing and using fail safe to load unity | 11:30 |
| loconut | ok so how do I get from here to there | 11:31 |
| robin0800 | loconut: install gnome-panel or try and find out why gnome shell is crashing it might be graphic drivers | 11:34 |

| bullgard4 | VectorX: Yes. | 12:54 |
| bb | how can i install grub .deb packadge from the chrooted console if the packadge is on live usb system? | 12:55 |
| Gentoo64 | vector, for graphics glxgears can give you a rough idea but its sort of console | 12:55 |
| Gentoo64 | hdd speeds idk a gui | 12:55 |
| Gentoo64 | hdparm can be used | 12:56 |
| VectorX | bullgard4 thats great | 12:56 |
| VectorX | Gentoo64 im mainly trying to get and idea of ubuntu performance on the hardware | 12:56 |
| Gentoo64 | you might as well just run the cli commands | 12:57 |
| VectorX | k | 12:57 |
| Gentoo64 | hdparm -Tt /dev/sda will check read speeds | 12:57 |

| LjL | robin0800: you don't mean menu.lst? | 13:13 |
| bullgard4 | insectatorious: Please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2. | 13:13 |
| robin0800 | LjL: not sure | 13:14 |

| ardrone | hi | 13:15 |
| LjL | insectatorious: is the package "grub2-common" installed? | 13:15 |
| ryannathans | Jokn: everything works fine until I put a different mac in the cloned box | 13:15 |
| LjL | insectatorious: (type "apt-cache policy grub2-common" to know) | 13:16 |
| ryannathans | Jokn: then it doesn't connect, it just sits there, gets auth and after a while a deauth. | 13:16 |
| Jokn | ryannathans: why change the MAC address? | 13:16 |
| insectatorious | LjL: Unable to locate package | 13:16 |
| ryannathans | Jokn: there is another network i need to access but has mac filtering | 13:16 |
| ryannathans | Jokn: if i can't get it working here i can't get it working there | 13:16 |
| ardrone | i have question too :) | 13:16 |
| insectatorious | I did an upgrade from 9.04 | 13:17 |
| LjL | insectatorious: then i guess maybe that left GRUB version 1 installed, not sure, but in that case, you'd want to change /boot/grub/menu.lst (i think that's the path, anyway) like robin0800 says. | 13:17 |
| Mike90- | Hi someone use amd e350 zacate platform ? when i play a totem video xorg crash, in gnome3shell | 13:17 |
| insectatorious | LjL: thanks :D | 13:18 |
| Jokn | ryannathans: when you do a ifconfig, does it show that MAC ? | 13:18 |
| ardrone | LjL i have notebook with 8 gb issd and 750 gb 7500 rpm hdd... i need to install ubuntu on 8 gb hdd but i will seperate home directory in 750 gb hdd... how should i configure to get fastest boot? regards :) | 13:19 |
| insectatorious | LjL: I run sudo update-grub after I'm done adding the line to menu.lst? | 13:19 |
| ryannathans | Jokn: yes, when i put in the cloned one, while connecting it has the new one | 13:19 |
| LjL | insectatorious: uhm, i don't remember anymore whether that's required... i suppose it can't hurt | 13:19 |
| LjL | ardrone: root on the SSD and home on the HDD sounds fine, except 8GB is a bit tight for root. | 13:20 |
| insectatorious | according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#A.2BAC8-boot.2BAC8-grub.2BAC8-grub.cfg that's what I have to do...but its for GRUB 2 | 13:20 |
| ardrone | what about sepearet prog files to hdd? | 13:20 |
| ryannathans | Jokn: i keep getting de--authed while connecting | 13:21 |
| LjL | ardrone: that's not strictly possible, as program files are scattered around the directory structure. but you could make a /usr partition in the HDD | 13:21 |
| Jokn | ryannathans: If the MAC shows correct with ifconfig, then I'm not sure what's going on with the auth on the wifi side. | 13:21 |
| ardrone | or i should i buy at least 16 gb issd? | 13:21 |
| HyperJapan | Hey guys | 13:22 |
| ryannathans | Jokn: it worked fine before i upgraded to 11.10 | 13:22 |
| ryannathans | Jokn: was working on 10.10 | 13:22 |
| LjL | ardrone: your choice. /usr in a separate partition should leave you with enough space on the SSD. | 13:23 |
| HyperJapan | I'm on Ubuntu 10.04, and every time I run any dpkg process it goes to configure a partially installed package which I want it to forget. The configuration process never finishes. I tried removing the package to no avail. Anyone know how to make dpkg/apt forget the package? | 13:23 |
| LjL | HyperJapan: it's not easy. usually it's better to try solving the problem with the package. which package is it, and what happens? | 13:23 |
| ardrone | ok... thank you LjL for your advice. I will test it with /usr and /home on hdd and /root on issd and one last question :) | 13:24 |
| LjL | ardrone: not /root, but / | 13:24 |
| HyperJapan | LjL: It was the "Deepin Software Center", but it turns out a dependency is GTK 3. When I run any dpkg process it just sits on "Setting Up packagename" | 13:24 |
| LjL | ardrone: /root is a different thing | 13:24 |
| ardrone | what about /grub ? should i seperate a partition | 13:24 |
| ardrone | oh sorry i got :) I mean / | 13:24 |
| Vardan | hi all | 13:24 |

| LjL | HyperJapan: can you give me a link to the exact package you used? i'll have a look at what it does | 13:25 |

| LjL | llutz_: but 8GB... | 13:26 |
| Jokn | ryannathans: I'm not sure what changed between the versions to make it work. I'd say a driver issue, but I believe you stated that it works fine if you don't clone the MAC. | 13:26 |
| llutz_ | LjL: more than enough _here_ :) depends always on usage | 13:26 |
| HyperJapan | LjL: http://mirror.bjtu.edu.cn/deepin/pool/main/d/deepin-software-center/deepin-software-center_2.0.5_all.deb | 13:26 |

| Somelauw | Hi, is there a way to download without a browser? | 13:43 |
| LjL | !info wget | Somelauw | 13:43 |

| MonkeyDust | Somelauw donload what? | 13:43 |
| scarleo | Somelauw, torrent? | 13:43 |
| Somelauw | LjL: Is there also a way to browse the files | 13:43 |
| player3 | Sorry to ask in wrong channel, but does anyone know a channel with people knowledgable on pdf metadata? | 13:43 |
| Somelauw | The thing is I need to download a lot of files at once and I am to lazy to right click a lot | 13:43 |
| LjL | Somelauw: well no, to "browse" a file on the web you need a "browser". there are non-GUI browsers though. | 13:43 |
| drzero | hi again | 13:43 |
| Somelauw | scarleo: No, things that are actually on a website | 13:43 |
| LjL | Somelauw: wget can download recursively from links | 13:43 |
| scarleo | Somelauw, write a script that wgets the files | 13:44 |
| Somelauw | LjL: I mean browsing the internet like a filesystem. Using cd and ls to find the files that I need and using wget on them. | 13:44 |
| LjL | Somelauw: that's not possible, because the HTTP protocol doesn't really support it. | 13:45 |
| Somelauw | Can it be done by ftp? | 13:46 |
| LjL | Somelauw: if the server you want to reach has FTP, then yes, that sounds very much like it. | 13:46 |
| kldfnd | can i delete an account that of a user logged into my machine? | 13:47 |
| llutz_ | Somelauw: theres httpfs2, dunno if you could use that for your task | 13:47 |
| LjL | Somelauw: just "ftp ftp.site.domain", and then you can more or less use the standard commands like "cd" and "ls" | 13:47 |
| sri_ | hi | 13:47 |
| kldfnd | LjL: ? | 13:47 |
| Somelauw | Okay, so it actually needs to be builtin by the server? That's a pity. | 13:47 |
| LjL | kldfnd: i don't know, probably yes, but then weird things will happen to the user | 13:48 |
| allen_chan | hi, guys | 13:48 |
| kldfnd | how can i force the userdel command to get rid of this guy? | 13:48 |
| Somelauw | llutz_: I'll check that out | 13:49 |
| LjL | Somelauw: well FTP is an entirely separate protocol from HTTP, they don't go together. thing is, theoretically you could have something that downloads a webpage and presents all of the links it contains in an "ls" fashion, but i wonder what happens with JavaScript and all that stuff. maybe try that virtual filesystem that was suggested. | 13:49 |
| kldfnd | LjL your words confused my eyes, make use of pastebin | 13:50 |

| Erealz | ahhh | 14:10 |
| LjL | pepp-elito: it's just that "sudo" is liable to mess up some config files when used with GUI apps. "gksudo" sets up the environment correctly. | 14:10 |

| paulus68 | when installing ubuntu server 10.11 I get the question no auto updates /update security automaticly or manage through landscape what is the best option here? | 14:12 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:19 |
| LjL | jo13: lots of programs *support* the webcam, it depends on what you want to do. | 14:20 |

| jo13 | that why i asked | 14:20 |

| fil_ | a question... does the system variable $DISPLAY change each time you boot the pc ? ubuntu 10.10 | 14:29 |
| mydogsna1eisrudy | exit | 14:29 |
| LjL | fil_: it's generally just ":0" | 14:29 |
| fil_ | LjL: because yesterday it was :0.0, today :1:0 and after reboot :0.0 again... do we know why ? it can create problems in scripts i have, so my question is why it happens, or how to prevent it.. mainly my question is concernig why | 14:31 |
| LjL | fil_: not sure. it's supposed to happen when you start a second graphical session, then the second user gets :1 as the display, but i've no idea why it would change on boot | 14:33 |
| haylo | i installed camorama jol3 but it sux. cheese is better. are you to manly for cheese? | 14:33 |

| fil_ | anyone else who might have an idea? | 14:34 |
| LjL | fil_: not necessarily second monitor, just "switch user" | 14:34 |
| fil_ | LjL: ah ok, i think i got it ... thanx man! | 14:35 |
| fil_ | but it happens on boot... and changing scripts is not a big issue, but the fact itself is strange, and thats why i would like to know why | 14:36 |

| bazhang | mugen, actual support question? | 16:08 |
| Barbariandude | bazhang, Fair enough. Just thought someone would appreciate it, I'll be quiet now | 16:09 |
| bazhang | edu-rocha23, how did you install it? unetbootin? | 16:09 |
| raven | 11.10 booting seems to spend a lot of time on "waiting for network configuration" - how to debug boot-process? | 16:09 |
| edu-rocha23 | im actually running ubuntu from the usb stick right now | 16:09 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, is this a dual monitor setup? | 16:10 |
| bazhang | edu-rocha23, the part where you enter the user name? | 16:10 |
| edu-rocha23 | i simply booted the system from the usb...im sorry, but im very new to the linux universe and my knowledge is somewhat limited. Its my 1st time experience with linux | 16:10 |
| edu-rocha23 | i dont enter any user name, i select the language, it sets up the clock and then goes to the keyboard layout selection, after i press next, it simply hangs there forever | 16:11 |
| pepp-elito | RiXtEr-home, no just a single monitor connected via a marantz nr1602 receiver using hdmi | 16:11 |
| bazhang | edu-rocha23, but as a live usb it works fine? no problems? | 16:11 |
| edu-rocha23 | yes, no problems | 16:11 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (http://paste.ubuntu.com) | 16:11 |
| bazhang | edu-rocha23, you did md5 the iso before "burning" to usb? | 16:11 |
| edu-rocha23 | im actually running ubuntu from the usb now as i talk with you | 16:11 |
| edu-rocha23 | yes, i cheked the hash, its perfetly fine | 16:12 |
| javier_ | Hi! I have Atheros AR9287 Wireless and internet works very badly in ubuntu (not in windows). Extremelly low connection (but not always, sometimes it's just slow) and no internet at all other times. I've google it, but couldn't make it work. Someone knows how can I improve my connection? Thanks a lot | 16:12 |
| xgt001 | hi, i need ubuntu font configuration , could you help me with a pastebin/pastie of your ~/.fonts.conf file? | 16:12 |
| RiXtEr-home | edu-rocha23, it has something to do with your motherboard i think, I had an issue like that but can't for the life of me remember how I fixed it. | 16:12 |
| edu-rocha23 | my mobo ?? geez....guess i wont be able to do anything about then...im gonna have to try to install de 11.10 then | 16:13 |
| RiXtEr-home | xgt001, I don't have a .fonts.conf file, I have a .fontconfig directory | 16:13 |
| pepp-elito | RiXtEr-home, i will. will take some time.. using different computer as i have such low res on the ubuntu one | 16:14 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, alright | 16:14 |
| u235sentinel | edu-rocha23. Just noticed the thread... perhaps the mobo needs to be flashed to the latest firmware. I've run across problems like that and was able to fix it with a firmware update | 16:14 |
| edu-rocha23 | hmmm, thx for the tip u235sentinel. I`ll reboot as windows and try do download a firmware update ! Thx for the tip ! | 16:15 |
| RiXtEr-home | edu-rocha23, I might have added acpi=off and noapic to the bootup options (i just can't remember for sure) :( | 16:15 |
| u235sentinel | edu-rocha23. hope it helps. | 16:15 |
| edu-rocha23 | acpi off...hmmm | 16:15 |
| edu-rocha23 | ill see something about that | 16:15 |

| quatchi | hi all | 16:21 |
| javier_ | on this website I've found Marko's answer which I would like to try, but can't follow the instructions to fix my problem. Someone could help me knowing my ubuntu and kernel version? http://askubuntu.com/questions/58704/how-do-i-get-an-atheros-ar9285-working | 16:21 |
| HyperJapan | javier_: Your ubuntu and kernel versions are in the System Monitor in GNOME/Unity | 16:23 |
| bastidrazor | javier_: lsb_release -d for the Ubuntu version and uname -r for kernel version | 16:23 |
| HyperJapan | javier_: And what bastidrazor said | 16:23 |
| javier_ | HyperJapan, bastidrazor thanks. I found it know (didn't see the space in the command in askubuntu | 16:24 |
| pepp-elito | RiXtEr-home, did you see my paste? | 16:24 |
| javier_ | If I download that compat-wireless Linux modules... from Ubuntu's software center, I'll still have to compile it? | 16:25 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, yes i seen it, just now stepped back in | 16:26 |
| RiXtEr-home | sorry | 16:26 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, what resolution are you wanting to display? | 16:26 |
| pepp-elito | RiXtEr-home, np :) very thankful for any support i have spent 12 hours on this including fresh install.. | 16:26 |
| pangolin | javier_: no | 16:27 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, also, what monitor do you have | 16:27 |
| pepp-elito | RiXtEr-home, 1280x1024, and some standard 720p 1080p etc | 16:27 |
| javier_ | HyperJapan, bastidrazor: also, beeing my ubuntu oneric and kernel 3.0.0.15-generic, I find there "linux-backports-modules-cw-3.1-3.0.0-15-server" and "linux-backports-modules-net-3.0.0-15-generic". Which one should I get? | 16:28 |

| pangolin | javier_: the -generic | 16:28 |
| javier_ | pangolin, and uninstall the server? | 16:29 |
| pangolin | javier_: if you want to, but it does not hurt to leave it installed | 16:29 |
| pepp-elito | RiXtEr-home, monitor7tv is a crapy viewsonic n3260w, connected via marantz nr1602 to an zotac nd-22 with nvidia ion. I have not had these problems before connecting via the marantz receiver | 16:29 |
| javier_ | pangolin, and, as said in http://askubuntu.com/questions/58704/how-do-i-get-an-atheros-ar9285-working, follow the rest of Marko's answer and compile the thing? | 16:30 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, change this Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0" to Option "metamodes" "1280x1024 +0+0; 1920x1080 +0+0; 1280x720 +0+0" should get you where you want to be | 16:31 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, after changing you will want to either restart or /etc/init.d/lightdm restart (restart X) | 16:31 |
| TwoD | I'd like to try the latest version of ntfs-3g in oneiric, but there doesn't seem to be a package available. Is there a way to try the package for precise pangolin? | 16:31 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, or if you are wanting to just check it | 16:31 |
| pepp-elito | RiXtEr-home, thanks will try | 16:32 |
| RiXtEr-home | pepp-elito, startx would work as well (it will give useful errors) | 16:32 |
| TwoD | When attempting to install the latest ntfs-3g from the PPA, it just complains about fuse not being installed. | 16:32 |
| pepp-elito | RiXtEr-home, now i have tried somethings like this before but no luck.. one minute.. | 16:32 |
| pangolin | javier_: that is for a machine that has no internet connection. you can download the .deb packages you need and then move them to the machine you want to install on. .deb packages don't need to be compiled, just double click on them and ubuntu will take care of the rest. | 16:32 |
| javier_ | aha | 16:33 |
| javier_ | pangolin, thanks. Shall I restart my laptop to make it work? | 16:33 |
| pangolin | javier_: after you install the .deb packages yes | 16:33 |
| javier_ | pangolin, ok, thanks! | 16:34 |

| auronandace | DexterF: your r51 should boot usb, my t40 does | 16:55 |
| bazhang | DexterF, the 10.04 still works? | 16:55 |
| DexterF | auronandace: ah, then ill go for the usb option... | 16:55 |
| DexterF | bazhang: not really. took a beating on the upgrade. ill just install 11.10 over / | 16:56 |
| bazhang | DexterF, I'd check the usb option as auronandace suggests, I have the r60e not much older and it works a treat from usb | 16:56 |
| DexterF | can oen | 16:56 |
| DexterF | whoops. can one use a usb disk? i dont have a stick around | 16:57 |

| bazhang | external usb hdd? | 16:57 |
| DexterF | uh huh | 16:57 |
| bazhang | install from where though | 16:57 |
| DexterF | pardon? | 16:58 |
| bazhang | the external already has the OS on it? | 16:58 |
| DexterF | I'd liek to use a usb hdd as install medium as the optical is broken, but the installation is suppossed to be in the r51's interneal disk | 16:58 |
| DexterF | bazhang: no it hasnt. empty | 16:58 |
| DexterF | whoah, scuse my typing... arms bent round that laptop :} | 17:01 |
| pangolin | DexterF: should work the same as installing from a usb stick but I believe that unetbootin will format the entire drive so if you have any data on that external hdd it will be lost | 17:01 |
| DexterF | pangolin: that's ok. under win last time unetbootin wouldn't accept the hdd as flash but gues ill just feed it the dev name | 17:03 |

| ubottu | MK`: 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. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 17:35 |

| kau | hello everybody!! | 17:40 |
| kau | I accidentally removed the .cabal folder... | 17:40 |
| kau | Do you know what to do? | 17:40 |
| DexterF | kau: there are unerase tools for ext3, i think. make sure you dont write any more to the disk. boot a rescu system. | 17:41 |
| DexterF | kau: with xfs you're hosed tho | 17:41 |
| kau | i use ext3 | 17:42 |
| kau | but I think it's too late :) | 17:42 |
| kau | I just want to reinstall cabal & packages | 17:42 |
| troubled | hola o/ Quick Q: is there a reason why none of the ubuntu iso's for i386 desktop have jigdo files? :( | 17:43 |
| === Pseudoephedrine is now known as ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ | ||
| ssta | kau: deleting .cabal probably didn't remove the cabal program | 17:44 |
| kau | if I unregister every package and reinstall, it should work? | 17:44 |
| === ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ is now known as Pseudoephedrine | ||
| DexterF | kau: if you just rm'ed the .cabal folder inhome you only deleted settings and such. just start the program. | 17:44 |
| fede | my notebook don't connect wifi :( | 17:44 |
| kau | ssta: no cabal works | 17:44 |
| generated | I'm getting the following errors when I try to mount a usb'd hard drive: http://pastebin.com/H5tiGJep | 17:44 |
| generated | do any of them look familiar, or, which ones should I attempt to search? | 17:45 |
| ssta | troubled: probably because jigdo is complex and the powers at canonical didn't feel it matched the current target audience? </cynical> In fact the precise daily images DO have jidgo files... | 17:46 |
| kau | DexterF: when running cabal install on my own program, it's complaining that files are missing in the dependencies (which I can understand) | 17:46 |
| DexterF | generated: can you try a different usb port? | 17:46 |
| DexterF | generated: and try without -t ext4, maybe it really isnt ext4 and nees to be auto detected | 17:46 |
| troubled | ssta: so complex that every other iso image does have it for every release of ubuntu? :) | 17:46 |
| maZed_ | where could i find the firmware at for my dell mini? dells website just has windows drivers | 17:46 |
| troubled | just seems to be i386 desktop only that is missing them | 17:47 |
| DexterF | kau: well, then purging the package and reinstallign might help indeed | 17:47 |
| LjL | HyperJapan: uhm, i was thinking it would be better to tweak the prerm script and remove the culprit lines... | 17:47 |
| generated | DexterF: sure. Highly unlikely that it's the usb port, since the disk is having problems (became read-only, failed to boot giving "full", was mountable readonly in windows...) | 17:47 |
| wildc4rd | Just a quickie, I am running a Windows XP VM on my Ubuntu box, is there any way I can filter/manage the network trafic to and from the VM? | 17:47 |
| ssta | troubled: maybe it's just an oversight... There are jigdo files for alternate, and server, just not for desktop | 17:47 |
| propokr | .nick BamBamPRO | 17:47 |
| troubled | ssta: ya, saw the alternate iso jigdo and was considering it. thought I would bring it up out of curiosity and just in case, like you say, it was an oversight | 17:48 |
| generated | I'm pretty sure it's ext4, since this is what some command told me it was | 17:48 |
| ssta | troubled: personally I like my cynical idea better :) | 17:49 |
| generated | but I'm trying to mount it now on a different usb port. there's a long delay at the moment, like last time | 17:49 |
| troubled | ssta: :) | 17:49 |
| propokr | Hello guys. I wanna sync my BlackBerry device on Ubuntu: But I cant find a Desktop Manager version for Linux. How I can do it? | 17:50 |
| ssta | troubled: ah...according to a post by Kamion, it's because the desktop image was moved to hybrid images rather than plain iso to make them easy to put onto USB | 17:51 |
| DexterF | generated: you tried mounting it as ext4, how could windows access ext4? | 17:51 |
| troubled | ssta: tell me what you think of this definition of irony: Having a scratched i386 desktop iso that is only bad for 2 or 3 files that you want to repair via jidgo only to find out that is the exact iso that is missing jidgo :D | 17:51 |
| generated | I get exactly the same errors as in http://pastebin.com/H5tiGJep , except on sd 10:0:0:0, and the last line is missing | 17:51 |
| generated | DexterF: unsure - it was readonly, though, and trying to make it write gave me unsupported extension messages. | 17:52 |
| troubled | ssta: tyvm for looking into it though. makes more sense when you put it that way I suppose | 17:52 |
| DexterF | generated: most likely because windows cant read ext4 | 17:52 |
| Pancakez | generated, maybe try mounting it as ext2, readonly? | 17:52 |
| DexterF | (or any other ext for that matter) | 17:52 |
| DexterF | good idea | 17:52 |
| Karmaon | Strange, why does ubuntu automaticly deselects text for me? | 17:52 |
| generated | DexterF: at the moment, doing a "what sort of fs is this" command, as well as the current error stream (865] EXT4-fs (sdf1): error loadin) gives me ext4 | 17:53 |
| ssta | troubled: well, I'd have preferred if someone had fixed jigdo to cope too...it's a very useful tool (well, was more so when I didn't have a 50M pipe, but still useful now) | 17:53 |
| Karmaon | I couldn't highlight anything without it being deselected. | 17:53 |
| generated | DexterF: windows was able to read, and I was able to save all of my files | 17:53 |
| generated | Pancakez: alright. any specific way to mount it readonly? | 17:53 |
| === erry2 is now known as erry | ||
| DexterF | generated: then it's not ext4. leave out the -t ext4 or try -t ntfs-3g or -t vfat | 17:54 |
| Pancakez | generated, can't remember, probably doesn't matter really | 17:54 |
| troubled | ssta: ya, a shame more people don't use it. it is definetly a very nice tool all around. although I just noticed the zsync option. never tried it, but it does sound like its capable of similar feats (assuming I spend the time to dd the scratched iso back to a file etc) | 17:54 |
| generated | DexterF: it is 100% an ext filesystem. it hosts my main ubuntu system, and had to be loaded using specific ext3 drivers for windows | 17:54 |
| DexterF | generated: did you install ext drivers on said windows? | 17:55 |
| generated | I did, yes | 17:55 |
| ssta | troubled: well, getting a little offtopic now, but I can dl an iso in like 2 minutes, so I guess it becomes less useful at that point | 17:55 |
| generated | numerous, in attempts to get it to write (so that I could delete some files, to try to overcome the disk full boot errors) | 17:55 |
| troubled | ssta: true, but 4mbit dsl != 50mbit cable :) | 17:55 |
| Pancakez | maybe I'm out of date, but I think those windows ext drivers actually mount it as ext2, which doesn't have journaling. Could be the problem | 17:55 |
| ssta | true | 17:56 |
| troubled | ssta: anyways, download is about done now. thanks for the help and the polite conversation. take care o/ :) | 17:56 |
| generated | Pancakez: that's probably correct. they gave me "unsupported feature flag" errors when I tried to mount them writable | 17:56 |
| ssta | troubled: good luck :) | 17:56 |
| troubled | thx :) | 17:56 |
| generated | but at the moment, I'm just trying to mount it on this current ubuntu system through the usb | 17:57 |
| Pancakez | generated, did mounting it as ext2 not work? | 17:57 |
| generated | readonly or not. windows was able to mount readonly, so the idea is I should be able to | 17:57 |
| generated | Pancakez: it's currently mounting. there's some delay... | 17:57 |

| undriedsea | When creating a SW RAID4 using mdadm, is it possible to specify which disk should be the parity disk? | 18:38 |
| ssta | underione: hmm, not enough output there. ttyACM0 is for pretending your phone is a modem (sort of). Doesn't say anything about the sotrage | 18:38 |
| ssta | underione: http://paste.ubuntu.com/812143/ is what I get when I connect mine. Is there a line like that in yours, and does it have any related error lines around it? | 18:40 |
| generated | fsck gives me signal 11, what else can I do to repair a filesystem? | 18:41 |
| underione | ssta, ok, i solved: i had to able usb storage from PHONE, thanks | 18:41 |
| LjL | generated: what filesystem? | 18:41 |
| ssta | generated: seriously? fsck should NOT be segfaulting! | 18:42 |
| generated | LjL: ext4 (certainly an ext, in any case) | 18:42 |
| ssta | generated: do you have a known-good filesystem to try fsk on? | 18:42 |
| generated | it's my main drive on another computer, went read-only, then couldn't boot "no space", mountable in windows!, mount in ubuntu produces http://pastebin.com/H5tiGJep | 18:43 |
| ssta | if fsck is segfaulting when asked to check a drive that's either a bigtime bug in fsck, or a hardware fault | 18:43 |
| ssta | generated: looks like a dead drive to me | 18:43 |
| generated | ssta: yes... but it's currently mounted | 18:43 |
| LjL | generated: to me to. it says I/O error. that usually means bad drive. | 18:44 |
| generated | ssta: it reads just fine in windows (using ext2 drivers) | 18:44 |
| ssta | hmm | 18:44 |
| LjL | generated: well, ext2 drivers don't try to read the journal | 18:44 |
| LjL | generated: have you tried mounting it *as* ext2? | 18:44 |
| LjL | (read-only, please) | 18:44 |
| generated | yep. with -r -t ext2 (and ext3) gives me EXT2-fs (sdf1): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (244) | 18:45 |
| ssta | even if there's a hardware issue in the drive, fsck shouldn't segfault imo. Not helpful to you of course. | 18:45 |
| LjL | generated: have you run smartctl to see if the drive is faulty? | 18:46 |
| ssta | generated: imo, get the data you care about it off in any way you can (on windows if you have to), and then reformat it (personally I'd bin it, but I'm paranoid about HD failures) | 18:46 |
| generated | I haven't - do you have a suggested usage? | 18:46 |
| LjL | generated: sudo smartctl -A /dev/sdf, pastebin the output | 18:47 |
| Shambhala | hello | 18:48 |
| ssta | there's a gui tool gsmartctl that might be easier to use too | 18:48 |
| generated | ssta: thankfully I was able to get all my data off when I mounted, but if if the drive is broken, my main computer will be unusable for the next while (it's a laptop drive) | 18:48 |
| ssta | generated: my take is usually: hard drives are cheap, losing data I care about can be *expensive*. As soon as a drive shows any hint of failure, it gets binned and replaced because that's cheaper than risking failure. Your mileage may vary though | 18:50 |
| generated | LjL: installing the package now. do I want sdf, or sdf1? | 18:50 |
| HyperJapan | On Ubuntu 10.04, is there much of a performance difference between the stock 2.6.32 kernel and something a bit later? (2.6.35/38/3.0?) | 18:50 |
| DexterF | how can I check if home is encrypted? I wanted to try that, then remembered that I wanted to keep the exiting home and unchecked "format" in the installer. do I have a crypted/unencrypted mish mash? | 18:50 |
| LjL | generated: sdf, smartctl doesn't operate on partitions | 18:50 |
| LjL | HyperJapan: i recommend sticking with the kernel that came with your Ubuntu release. | 18:51 |
| generated | ssta: I agree, but I can't replace, so I'd prefer paranoid levels of backup on a failing drive while I look for a new one to being unable to use the laptop at all | 18:51 |
| ssta | generated: fair enough :) | 18:51 |

| HyperJapan | studioxps: Well final will be out april time (As in the name, 04) | 19:39 |
| studioxps | ahhhhh thats what that means .... see learn something new every day | 19:39 |
| HyperJapan | I'll be staying on 10.04 and other GNOME 2 distros for some time yet | 19:39 |
| studioxps | Ive been wondering why I need windows 7 when I already have windows 2000 | 19:39 |
| HyperJapan | Then I'm going back to KDE | 19:39 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: Driver support, software support, security, better DOS support :P | 19:40 |
| studioxps | Hyper it was a joke ;) | 19:40 |
| studioxps | lol | 19:40 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: I know, thats why I put :P | 19:41 |
| * studioxps pours HyperJapan more coffee | 19:41 | |
| studioxps | :P | 19:41 |
| * HyperJapan adds cream and slurps it | 19:41 | |
| CPhoenix | Ewwwwwwwww | 19:41 |

| drworm | Very general question: if I'm using a recovery disk to copy files to an attached external hard drive as root, why would the permission to copy the files be denied? | 19:41 |
| DragonSlay | This is a Coffee Partieee.. | 19:41 |
| HyperJapan | CPhoenix: You have a point, I ment whipped cream :P | 19:41 |
| drworm | I know there are *a million* answers. | 19:41 |
| drworm | I'm looking for ideas. | 19:41 |
| studioxps | Black baby.... black | 19:42 |
| drworm | Hint: The files may or may not be encrypted. | 19:42 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: Too bitter | 19:42 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: All though it smells nice xD | 19:42 |
| micahf | hi, my macbook keeps freezing with 11.1 | 19:42 |
| micahf | 11.10* | 19:42 |
| CPhoenix | dragly: mounted as read only? | 19:42 |
| micahf | any ideas why i'd be getting random freezing? | 19:42 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: When does the machine freeze? Startup? Login? | 19:42 |
| micahf | i think it's the video card because music keeps playing | 19:42 |
| drworm | CPhoenix: I assume that was meant for me. | 19:42 |
| studioxps | Hyper you in the service over there | 19:42 |
| CPhoenix | drworm: Yeah, sorry | 19:43 |

| drworm | CPhoenix: That's a good point, I didn't specify any mount options. | 19:43 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: What? | 19:43 |
| micahf | HyperJapan: I haven't been able to narrow it down, it seem to happen pretty arbitrarily. i look in the logs and can't find anything | 19:43 |
| drworm | CPhoenix: also don't know why I didn't think to do that... | 19:43 |
| studioxps | HyperJapan: Are you in Japan atm? | 19:43 |
| drworm | Any other thoughts, anyone? | 19:43 |
| micahf | HyperJapan: I was watching dmesg once when it happened and dmesg didn't change at all | 19:43 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: Have you installed any software that may be unstable and cause the system to freeze? | 19:44 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: Nah, Japan is just epic though :P | 19:44 |
| studioxps | oh ok.... alright time to reboot my shiny new Ubuntu | 19:44 |
| micahf | HyperJapan, I could try going back to an older kernel | 19:44 |
| studioxps | wish me luck ;) | 19:44 |
| DragonSlay | micahf, processor could be in full use, or kernel crash .. just giving you hints | 19:44 |
| drworm | As I am away from the system from which I am trying to recover files, I'll go with the mount permissions approach and let you know how that goes later. | 19:44 |
| micahf | I think it might be the processor thing | 19:44 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: Thats one thing to do, I was having kernel issues myself earlier with freezing on boot | 19:44 |
| CPhoenix | drworm: good luck | 19:45 |
| micahf | there are some funny errors about paging in the dmesg | 19:45 |
| drworm | CPhoenix: Thanks for the tip :) | 19:45 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: Good Luck | 19:45 |
| micahf | but not at the moment of crashing | 19:45 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: It could be many things, leave the question with us and I'm sure someone will have an answer :) | 19:46 |
| micahf | HyperJapan: i just installed Xubuntu and found that the freezes have been more occasional. I'm wondering if it's something with compiz/compizconfig | 19:47 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: Could you pastebin the logs you were talking about? | 19:47 |
| micahf | HyperJapan, I'm trying to find them now | 19:47 |
| CPhoenix | Now anyone know why Parallels tools gets squished every time I update Ubuntu? | 19:47 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: It could be, have you tried using the propriatery video drivers? (If you havent already) | 19:48 |
| maujhsn | I have an mplayer install issue...."Help" http://pastebin.com/E5y7yQ63 | 19:48 |

| wildc4rd | running a Windows XP VM on my Ubuntu box, is there any way I can filter/manage the network traffic to and from the VM? | 19:49 |
| === root is now known as Guest3775 | ||
| === mike is now known as m_W | ||
| micahf | HyperJapan, let me try and track those down/see what i'm using now | 19:50 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: Ok | 19:50 |
| DragonSlay | wildc4rd, have you checked the network adapter settings | 19:50 |
| maujhsn | LJL I will give it a try and let you know how things work out! | 19:51 |
| DragonSlay | wildc4rd, try installing traffic control application in windowsXP . | 19:52 |
| micahf | HyperJapan, interesting, I didn't have the nvidia drivers installed but compiz still works. | 19:52 |
| DragonSlay | wildc4rd, wondershaper for ubuntu will also do, | 19:52 |
| micahf | HyperJapan, do the open source drivers now do compositing? | 19:52 |
| DragonSlay | wildc4rd, sudo apt-get install wondershaper | 19:53 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: On the ATi side, yes, I'm not sure about NVidia, but I believe so. | 19:53 |
| micahf | HyperJapan: wow, times change :D | 19:53 |
| micahf | HyperJapan: I had just assumed I was running the nvidia drivers because compiz worked, it's great to hear that | 19:54 |
| maujhsn | LJL Check out this result: "http://pastebin.com/9aJDfi0G" | 19:54 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: Sometimes the open source drivers though are buggy, they are for me on ATi | 19:54 |
| wildc4rd | cheers dragonslay, I'll try wondershaper, want to control the windows network abuse from within its host, lol | 19:55 |
| micahf | HyperJapan: one thing that's funny is when I'm booting, the start up screen suddenly goes black with crazy colorful noise spewed across | 19:55 |
| LjL | maujhsn: why do you have Medibuntu for Maverick enabled when you're actually running Lucid? | 19:55 |
| micahf | HyperJapan, that's why I'm suspecting there's a video issue | 19:55 |
| Myr | Greetings | 19:55 |
| DragonSlay | wildc4rd, good luck m8. :) | 19:55 |
| jwp121 | Does anyone know when gnome-shell 3.4 is going to be released? | 19:55 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: That's what I would suspect, you could try the propriatery nvidia drivers (Additional drivers or jockey-gtk) | 19:56 |
| Myr | I have a question about Wubi | 19:56 |
| DragonSlay | Myr, ask. :) | 19:56 |
| reCAPTCHA | Hi, how can I get a keyboard buttons to function as mouse scroll up and mouse scroll down? | 19:57 |
| Myr | How can I mount a Wubi install in a new Windows installation? (The datapart of it I mean) | 19:57 |
| micahf | HyperJapan: well, i'm gonna reboot and try the nvidia driver, thanks a bunch for your help! | 19:58 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: No problem :) | 19:58 |
| maujhsn | LJL "Because I assumed that it would work for 10.04 as well! | 19:58 |
| micahf | HyperJapan: it's great to have people to talk you through a problem. I could have tried asking some of the people at the coffee shop here but I don't know if they'd have been nearly as patient. | 19:58 |
| LjL | maujhsn: very wrong assumption. don't mess with your repositories. stick with the default/official ones unless you know what you're doing VERY well. | 19:58 |
| maujhsn | LJL What do I do know? | 19:59 |
| LjL | maujhsn: remove every instance of Medibuntu from /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ now, then issue "sudo apt-get update", then try again installing. | 19:59 |
| Myr | The reason why I need that is because my Motherboard passed away this weekend. Thus I will be upgrading my Computer and I doubt an old Ubuntu install will accept that | 19:59 |
| HyperJapan | micahf: Heh, just helping :) | 19:59 |
| maujhsn | LJL I will follow your instructions! | 19:59 |
| new2net | Hello, I am looking for some software that will tell me if a document is valid XML. I was thinking that because this is a common problem ubuntu may already have something installed to do it. | 20:00 |

| Myr | What errors? | 20:03 |
| LjL | tim167: run smartctl from a live cd to see if your drive is faulty | 20:03 |

| new2net | mercury_, thank you :) . LjL, thank you also I will look at those | 20:03 |
| mercury_ | tim167: you could spend the afternoon digging into the errors, but it would probably be faster to boot a usb disk, and check your disks from the livecd OS. | 20:03 |

| yzhd_ | I have been using ubuntu for a while with VM, it was very laggy so I switched to Wubi.. It heated up so fast so I had no other choice that uninstalling it. Is there anyway I can install ubuntu on my computer without formatting my hardware ? | 20:08 |

| mercury_ | LjL: well, I already have a pxe server I use to install ubuntu with. works great. What I need is a network troubleshooter. I need to boot ubuntu from the network as a liveCD, instead of from a flash disk | 20:09 |
| Myr | yzhd_: You can uninstall a Wubi install using the Windows software menu or deleting the Wubi folder + bootrecord part | 20:09 |
| === mark_ is now known as Nobul | ||

| auronandace | yzhd_: not really, you are going to need to install it to a partition if you want a native permanent install | 20:09 |
| mercury_ | LjL: RIP linux does this, but ubuntu doesn't. I'm trying to find out where I should go to find someone who knows how to make it do that. | 20:09 |
| redrocket | Seveas, ty :) | 20:09 |
| yzhd_ | @auronandace aahh, so I have no choice that formatting my hard drive to install ubuntu ? :/ | 20:10 |

| DerpyHoovy | Hey guys. I just installed ubuntu using Wubi and now i'm stuck on grub> prompt. When I try to load the kernel it returns error: out of disk. | 20:18 |
| Photon-Phoenix | I need to run the terminal command "alsactl restore" on startup, how would I go about doing that? <-- My external amp isn't muted by default and I have to run the command manually every time Ubuntu reboots | 20:18 |

| superlou | I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, and occasionally launcher items don't have numbers when the "windows/ubuntu" key is held down. Is this something anyone else is seeing? I couldn't find a definited yes or no by searching | 20:18 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: I didn't even read it like that! | 20:19 |
| mercury_ | derpyhoovy: error: out of disk? is it actually out of disk? | 20:19 |
| studioxps | Hyper: Given enough time you will understand my quirky sense of humor :) | 20:19 |
| DerpyHoovy | It's on a 3TB hard drive, it shouldn't be out of disk space. | 20:19 |
| supertux | hello, how to share internet connection between android and ubuntu?? | 20:19 |

| ubottu | studioxps: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:20 |
| urlin2u | Lirth, I wouldn't pm without asking, personally i rarely pm at all, and if I get one without being asked I wont even look at it, no biggie but a matter of respect for others on their wants. | 20:21 |
| studioxps | auroandace: so much to learn here :))... THANKS!! | 20:21 |
| Myr | shadowman0: Depends on the user and what the default OS was. | 20:21 |

| rana_ | hi, i have openSUSE system, is it possible to install UBUNTU without formet any existing partition as it can in Windows system.?? | 20:22 |
| Lirth | urlin2u, sorry about that. I'm new here. Most of my Internet chat comes from MMOs where the rules are different. | 20:22 |
| studioxps | Life is so complicated until I have had my 3rd cup of coffee | 20:22 |
| Myr | rana_: You could install it as a virtualbox | 20:22 |
| rana_ | Myr@ no i dont need it by virtual box. | 20:22 |
| crassus | Hi, how can I get Banshee to version 2.0.1 as is in the ppa I've added: https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa | 20:23 |
| LjL | rana_: if you want to replace SUSE, then you'd be well advised to format the SUSE partition. if you want to keep SUSE, then Ubuntu's installer can make space by shrinking the existing partitions without formatting them (but you should have backups) | 20:23 |
| crassus | I've sudo apt-get update'd and apt-get upgrade'd, but when I apt-get upgrade, apt says banshee has been held back | 20:23 |

| rana_ | no i dont want to replace opensuse | 20:24 |
| Photon-Phoenix | Ljl: thanks, other guides kept pointing me to /etc/init.d/rc.local and referred to the contents of the one in /etc/rc.local instead which confused me | 20:24 |
| DerpyHoovy | This isn't the first time I've had install problems. | 20:24 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: No xD | 20:24 |
| |_ocke | anyone gotten driconf running in 11.04? | 20:24 |
| HyperJapan | studioxps: I guess thats why many of us are here :D | 20:24 |
| DerpyHoovy | Practically every install I've ever tried had major issues with grub. | 20:25 |
| rana_ | i have tryed that by sinking the root partition of opensuse, after the result i got that my suse not working. | 20:25 |
| LjL | rana_: well the installer lets you manage your partitions as you see fit, resize them and everything. just, once again, you *should* have a backup in case things go wrong - resizing partitions is never a risk-free operation | 20:25 |
| Myr | Nothing ever is | 20:25 |
| mercury_ | crassus: have you done an apt-get dist-upgrade? | 20:25 |
| crassus | mercury_: Doesn't that upgrade the entire distro? I don't wanna upgrade from 10.04 Lucid. | 20:26 |
| LjL | crassus: no, it doesn't | 20:26 |
| crassus | I could be wrong though | 20:26 |
| crassus | What does dist-upgrade do? | 20:26 |
| mercury_ | crassus: what I'm told is, Apt-get dist-upgrade'ing also installs new packages brought in the chain of dependencies, whereas 'apt-get upgrade'ing only install newer versions of packages already installed" | 20:26 |
| LjL | crassus: it's like "upgrade" but tries to deal with conflicts in a smarter way, basically. | 20:26 |
| crassus | Ok, I'll try that | 20:27 |
| LjL | crassus: but remember PPAs are unsupported and could break everything, anyway ;) | 20:27 |
| wildc4rd | ok, stupid question, how do I change the default program for opening file types under Unity? | 20:28 |
| crassus | I trust banshee-team LjL :) | 20:28 |
| mercury_ | there is a way to upgrade the whole distro, I've done it from synaptics before, I think | 20:28 |
| mercury_ | sorry, previous was for :crassus: | 20:28 |
| DerpyHoovy | I've found absolutely no solutions on Google. | 20:28 |
| LjL | !default | wildc4rd, assuming this is still current | 20:28 |
| ubottu | wildc4rd, assuming this is still current: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. | 20:28 |
| DerpyHoovy | The ones I did find didn't help at all. | 20:28 |

| mercury_ | Derpyhoovy: I don't know, there's a lot of things that it depends on I suppose ... grub1 or grub2? | 20:30 |
| mercury_ | you've formatted gpt I suppose? | 20:30 |
| DerpyHoovy | grub2. Ubuntu 11.10. | 20:30 |
| wildc4rd | ta LjL, sorted | 20:30 |
| DerpyHoovy | no, my hardware isn't UEFI. | 20:30 |
| mercury_ | Derpyhoovy: hmm, you have a 3tb drive though? | 20:30 |
| DerpyHoovy | Yeah. I didn't exactly know they didn't work without UEFI before I bought it... | 20:31 |
| mercury_ | derpyhoovy: does grub try to install mbr? | 20:31 |
| bcbc2 | DerpyHoovy: what's the result of "ls" from the grub prompt? it will list the drives/partitions it can see. it's not common to install on a gpt drive - not sure if that works | 20:31 |
| DerpyHoovy | I don't know how to tell from wubi. | 20:31 |
| DerpyHoovy | bcbc2: (memdisk) (loop0) (hd0) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) | 20:31 |
| nivyaj | hi- i'm new to ubuntu and need some help upgrading eclipse. I followed the directions- but there's no launcher. can someone help me | 20:32 |
| nivyaj | I followed these directions http://crlog.info/2011/06/30/upgrading-eclipse-on-ubuntu-from-3-5-to-3-7-indigo-works-for-other-versions-too/ | 20:32 |
| nivyaj | but when I got to here, the file was empty. sudo gedit /usr/bin/eclipse | 20:32 |
| nivyaj | Replace old version name with the version you downloaded. E.g. If you downloaded Indigo and you have galileo installed | 20:32 |
| bogdan__ | he? | 20:32 |
| bcbc2 | DerpyHoovy: that looks ok. how about "ls (loop0)/boot" | 20:33 |
| DerpyHoovy | bcbc2: error: out of disk | 20:33 |
| mercury_ | derpyhoovy: huh, it kind of sounds like grub is looking for a partition that doesn't exists on the disk, ie, the drive geometry information is bad | 20:34 |
| LjL | which is not very surprising when using a >2TB drive on MBR, is it? | 20:35 |
| mercury_ | derpyhoovy: does it have the same problem if you were on a <2tb drive I wonder? | 20:35 |
| DerpyHoovy | Well, I would try it out but I don't have a spare drive. | 20:35 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: so first, did you already have eclipse installed before upgrading? | 20:35 |
| DerpyHoovy | I'm considering formatting GPT and using UEFI Duet to load Windows on it. | 20:35 |
| Lirth | I tried to install ubuntu on a separate computer. I want to keep windows on it also. When I ran the installer it gave me two options. I could either remove Windows (bad) or create partitions myself (dangerous). When I installed it on a different computer, I got a third option. It allowed me to use an automated partition creator. Any idea why it may have happened? | 20:35 |
| bcbc2 | DerpyHoovy: that's where it loads the kernel from, so it explains thee problem. You should be able to partition a gpt disk very easily and do a normal dual boot - rather than Wubi. | 20:36 |
| DerpyHoovy | bcbc2: Yay. I had almost given up hope on ever having a working dual boot. | 20:36 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: from that page, you'll want eclipse installed already (it creates the links in ubuntu, like eclipse.desktop) | 20:37 |
| === microbe is now known as Guest50978 | ||
| nivyaj | mercury_: i did, but i uninstalled it using the ubuntu remove application | 20:37 |
| nivyaj | mercury_: which in retrospect is what probably caused my problems.... | 20:37 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: ah, hmm, yeah, you'll want it still installed as per the page's directions, as it's using the links created from the installer to edit | 20:38 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: if you run "which eclipse" on the command line, you should get "/usr/bin/eclipse" | 20:38 |
| nivyaj | mercury_: so, i have indigio installed in my /usr/bin/eclipse | 20:38 |
| nivyaj | how can i add it to the launcher | 20:39 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: well, you could always create all the links yourself... | 20:39 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: find a link, like firefox or something, in I think, /usr/share/applications ? | 20:40 |
| epod | How would I add Option "UseFastTLS" "off" to my xorg.conf given that I don't HAVE an xorg.conf? | 20:40 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: create a copy, rename it eclipse, edit it in gedit. Change all the firefox versions, references, to the eclipse ones, | 20:40 |
| mercury_ | epod: create an xorg.conf - in the terminal: xorg -configure, I think, | 20:41 |
| nivyaj | mercury_: i can do that. | 20:41 |
| nivyaj | mercury_: this file was empty gedit /usr/bin/eclipse | 20:41 |
| nivyaj | is that a problem? | 20:41 |
| draginx | How would I go about to make a small web script to use PAM as authentication? | 20:41 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: yes, you;ll want to find the eclipse binary, and symlink to it from /usr/bin, so, | 20:41 |
| alexGla | hey, how to remove archive file from /etc directory sudo rm -r filename doesn`t work | 20:42 |

| mercury_ | nivyaj: if you find the eclipse executable, first check that running it works (ie, eclipse is working) | 20:43 |
| MJ94 | What does it mean when someone says "I don't know my Kerberos password"? | 20:44 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: then, symlink to it with "ln -s <location of exclipse executable> /usr/bin/eclipse | 20:44 |
| mercury_ | MJ94: it means they're using Kerberos authentication, | 20:44 |
| epod | mercury_: ty | 20:44 |
| MJ94 | mercury_: for? | 20:44 |
| mercury_ | MJ94: logging into their desktop, usually, | 20:45 |
| MJ94 | oh | 20:45 |
| mercury_ | MJ94: typically, kerberos authenticaion is running on another server somewhere, and they're authenticating against it, | 20:45 |
| nivyaj | mercury_: what's symlinking? | 20:45 |
| MJ94 | ah | 20:46 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: it's a way to make one file look like it exists somewhere else, without copying the actual file | 20:46 |
| Kvaks | Is there a program for GNU/Linux that displays info about my hardware, like CPU-ID for Windows? (I want to know about my current RAM stick configuration without opening my case.) | 20:46 |
| zacarias | if something happens and you have to reinstall your system, is it best to have the whole system backed up (backing up all the "/ "directory contents) or backing up the home directory will do? | 20:47 |
| mercury_ | nivyaj: when the OS looks for the file where you've symlinked it, it's basically being redirected to the actual location, more or less | 20:47 |

| Kvaks | zacarias: back up /etc too, and grab a list of installed packages to batch-redownload after reinstall. | 20:48 |
| mercury_ | zacarias: most of your data lives in /home, lots of system configurations live in /etc, particular application data lives all over / | 20:48 |

| callaghan | Today I got aware of a folder called ~/.thumbnails which I didn't know existed. Ubuntu, why, why don't you have a sensible setting what to store there, and, above all, HOW LONG! So this is a 10.04 machine that I set up with Alpha 2 back in the days and I've been using it ever since. 3 months ago I managed to get a girlfriend and she's using the machine nearly every day to clear up her... | 21:17 |
| callaghan | ...massive photo collection. Today she noticed that disc space was kinda low (only 40GB SSD) and decided to clean up. So she found .thumbnails, which was over 1GB in size, and in there she found thumbnails of every video, photo and whatever that was ever on or plugged into the system. EVER. Even nearly 2 year old thumbnails. As mentioned, the machine is old and I was single for a long time,... | 21:17 |
| callaghan | ...so I got a very enraged phone call because of what she found in there. So I called my friends who also use Ubuntu and they didn't know of this folder and checked and they were like "OMG thank you (rm *) (change setting so no thumbnails are generated)". I always hated thumbs.db in Windows but now I hate the gnome way even more. Isn't this the perfect way to spy on somebody (especially... | 21:17 |

| boylover | what's the best distro for encrypting child porn | 21:21 |
| mercury_ | _josh: I think grub lets you press left shift when booting, | 21:22 |
| _josh | mercury_, what does that do? | 21:22 |
| boylover | what's the best distro for encrypting child porn | 21:22 |
| HyperJapan | boylover: ?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!? | 21:22 |
| mercury_ | _josh: supposed to let you into recovery mode, | 21:22 |
| _josh | ok, i'll try that out and let you know how it oges, thanks | 21:23 |
| mercury_ | _josh: worst case, I think you can dpkg reconfigure all, but that's not always best, | 21:23 |
| mercury_ | gotta go, | 21:23 |
| _josh | mercury_, what does dpkg reconfigure all do? | 21:24 |
| mercury_ | _josh: dpkg-reconfigure -a , | 21:24 |
| mercury_ | _josh: forces you to reconfigure every package installed in the system. takes a long, long time, usually. | 21:25 |
| mercury_ | _josh: resets all your settings. might break some things, possibly. | 21:25 |
| mercury_ | _josh: there's usually better things to try first, it's not a go-to solution to anything, | 21:25 |
| _josh | mercury_, ok. i'll try that "safe boot" thing first, any other suggestions for after that? | 21:26 |
| Guido1 | Hello, I just have a short, urgend not Linux question | 21:26 |
| mercury_ | _josh : first step is to try to figure out what's failing, and how to stop it. check the startup scripts, things started by upstart, | 21:26 |
| _josh | mercury_, oogh, i can't just "undo" what i did? | 21:27 |
| Guido1 | my computer goes somtimes off without any worning. what can be the reason? what can i do? bios? | 21:27 |
| mercury_ | _josh: maybe - I'd also check the modules being loaded, if it's a driver, stuff is lsmod (modprobe) | 21:27 |
| mercury_ | _josh: sorry, that was, lsmod wlll show you if maybe a driver's being loaded into the kernel, breaking things. | 21:28 |
| _josh | mercury_, that's probably it, given that i was trying to install a driver. will lsmod show what the problematic driver is? and how do i remove it once i know? | 21:28 |
| Datalink | I'm having an interesting issue related to a program that's 32 bit on my 64 bit 11.10 install, is anyone here real good with sorting out library hell issues? | 21:29 |
| Gregor_The_Miner | Guidol, when does it shut off? Boot or during regular activity? | 21:29 |
| mercury_ | _josh: hmm, if you can find out what driver it is (usually has a relevant name, driver make or model or 'wifi'), you'll want to either blacklist it, rmmod I think it only temporary, | 21:29 |
| _josh | mercury_, cool, rebooting and trying all of that | 21:30 |

| bguth | when you run ls -l what does the size represent on a folder and can it be changed? | 21:31 |

| Datalink | bguth, it can't be changed, I believe it's how large the directory needs to be on the filesystem | 21:33 |
