| timesupervisor | no i'm not.. | 00:17 |

| timesupervisor | how do i fix it for this user instead? | 00:29 |
| timesupervisor | :( | 00:29 |

| Dr_Willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html may have some help. | 00:30 |
| Dr_Willis | The ubuntu-tweak tool used tohave a 'reset settungs' feature. but not sure if it still does. | 00:30 |
| timesupervisor | It's not only unity launcher. It's the whole ui | 00:30 |
| Dr_Willis | read the url... it details more.... | 00:31 |
| timesupervisor | even desktop | 00:31 |
| psyrus | dannel, lol. aight i | 00:31 |
| metaspike | Dr_Willis: rm ~/.playonlinux ? seeing as you say playonlinux is to blame, prehaps ~/.wine - but it's ridiculus, both concern wine and neither should effect the UI like so. | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | I doubt if playonlinux is the cause. | 00:31 |
| timesupervisor | can it be fbi? | 00:31 |
| metaspike | indeed. | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | or wine. Most likely he tried to change the pointer. | 00:31 |
| timesupervisor | you can't do that remotely, can you? | 00:32 |
| Dr_Willis | do what remotely? | 00:32 |
| timesupervisor | mess with people's mouse . | 00:32 |
| Dr_Willis | the pointer settings getting messed up - is a gui/desktop/compiz/gnome setting. its just using a bad image for the pointer - so its invisible | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | would be my guess | 00:33 |
| timesupervisor | unity reset, no result. | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | i would reset the compiz settings first. | 00:34 |

| theadmin | dalek_: wammu | 00:57 |
| timesupervisor | what's the best ubuntu AV? | 00:57 |
| mauricessid | the ssids i am scanning all return 0 for #data | 00:57 |
| mauricessid | any reason why? | 00:57 |
| acerimmer | timesupervisor: "AV"? | 00:57 |
| dalek_ | theadmin, wammu? | 00:57 |
| timesupervisor | antivirus. | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | timesupervisor: depends on what you want to do with it. they all scan for windows viruses mainly. thers like 4 differnt ones out i recall. | 00:57 |
| biohazard135 | how strong is the wifi signal? | 00:58 |
| theadmin | dalek_: It's a program, install it, it's in the repos. It handles such mobile devices | 00:58 |
| acerimmer | !clamav|timesupervisor | 00:58 |
| psyrus | mauricessid, i doubt i can help you man, i am running 11.1 and it recognized my intel hd card and installed the i9xx or whatever drivers (the un-compiled files and kernal can be found at www.intellinuxgraphics.org ) | 00:58 |
| timesupervisor | thanks | 00:58 |
| mauricessid | thanks though psyrus | 00:58 |
| finish06 | Did not realize that trism ... Thanks for the insight on that matter... I love myself some iTunesU... wish there was an app, but this will do fine. make me appreciate it more so I might pay attention more since I have to go find it instead of me finding it... lol | 00:58 |
| mauricessid | got any experience with aircrack? | 00:58 |
| timesupervisor | Dr_Willis : best for js exploits. | 00:59 |
| psyrus | mauricessid, on mine, under the x-server, if i go to the sys. settings, & then sys. info, there's a tab for graphics and my video specs are there | 01:00 |
| mauricessid | yes, under that my settings are null | 01:01 |
| mauricessid | aka nothing is shown | 01:01 |
| timesupervisor | no clamav binaries, do i have to make it from source? | 01:01 |
| psyrus | mauricessid ahh yeah its the same 4 me man | 01:01 |
| acerimmer | timesupervisor: klamAV or clamAV it's in software center | 01:02 |
| psyrus | mauricessid, i wasn't convinced it had even sucessfully installed the video drivers, but i checked synaptic and it says there installed so i am satisfied | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | timesupervisor: Im not sure if any of them scan your browsing in real time for such exploits | 01:02 |
| mauricessid | same here | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | timesupervisor: most all of them are primarly just for scanning files for windows viruses. | 01:02 |
| timesupervisor | Dr_Willis: what's the point in porting them for linux then? | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | timesupervisor: to scan your windows systems in a known secuure/safe envuroment | 01:03 |
| psyrus | mauricessid, according to that website i mentioned earlier, there are drivers for virtually like all intel's gpu's ... now i dont know much about ati 's cards, | 01:03 |
| timesupervisor | accerimer: thanks. | 01:03 |
| mauricessid | its ok, I will go do some more research | 01:04 |
| timesupervisor | Dr_Willis, so if i only got Ubuntu on my alienware, it's useless to get an AV? | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | several of the AV makers out there ive seen have Live-linux-cd's | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | timesupervisor: yep. | 01:04 |
| pp7__ | why do my sco transfers sometimes stall? | 01:04 |
| pp7__ | scp* | 01:04 |
| timesupervisor | Dr_Willis: thanks. | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | timesupervisor: you most likely will not see a true linux virus any time soon. | 01:04 |
| psyrus | hey mauricessid btw what is aircrack ? | 01:04 |
| mauricessid | an app used to crack wep keys on wifi networks | 01:05 |
| mauricessid | mwhahaha | 01:05 |
| biohazard135 | it's a tool for cracking wep keys from captured packets | 01:05 |
| psyrus | r u sserious!? | 01:05 |
| timesupervisor | Dr_Willis: js botnet doesn't work on linux? | 01:05 |
| biohazard135 | um yeah | 01:05 |
| mauricessid | yeah its pretty sweet | 01:05 |
| psyrus | mauricessid, can i get it from u ?? | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | timesupervisor: no idea. never heard of it. | 01:05 |
| biohazard135 | http://www.aircrack-ng.org/ | 01:05 |
| pp7__ | psyrus, just download it | 01:05 |
| psyrus | i'll find it | 01:05 |
| mauricessid | sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | timesupervisor: a browser exploit is technically not a virus. | 01:05 |
| ironhalik | when setting up sshd, do I need to do sth to enable password login? | 01:05 |
| mauricessid | if that doesnt work you need to add the repo | 01:05 |
| psyrus | they even got this thing in the repositories ?!?!? | 01:06 |
| pp7__ | ironhalik, no | 01:06 |
| timesupervisor | Dr_Willis: Thanks. alot. | 01:06 |
| finish06 | be careful dowwloading aircrack, depending upon where you live. In Germany it is considered a felony to download that software. | 01:06 |
| ironhalik | pp7__: well, I installed openssh server, and cant log into my user, with proper username and password | 01:06 |
| psyrus | lol.. thnx mauricessid thats pretty cool.. | 01:06 |
| pp7__ | ironhalik, strange | 01:06 |
| OerHeks | finish06 +1 | 01:07 |
| Kimble | Can someone tell me how to make a usb flash drive mount r/w for all users by default using FSTAB? | 01:07 |
| pp7__ | ironhalik, what does it say when trying to login? | 01:07 |
| ironhalik | pp7__: when I do ssh localhost, it works | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Kimble: what filesystem is it? | 01:07 |
| Kimble | btrfs | 01:07 |
| biohazard135 | finish06: is it really a felony? any links to any info? | 01:07 |
| timesupervisor | Dr_Willis: btw, http://hacktalk.net/community-projects/javascript-botnet-research/ | 01:07 |
| biohazard135 | i heard putty is illegal in some places due to the crypto | 01:07 |
| finish06 | biohazard135, let me search, one moment. | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Kimble: you would need to use the proer ownership and chmod./chown permissions for it to allow such ussage. You dont just override the permissions via a fstab option as far as i know. | 01:08 |
| timesupervisor | biohazard135: yep. | 01:08 |
| finish06 | what is putty? | 01:08 |
| finish06 | and crypto>? | 01:08 |
| pp7__ | finish06, windows ssh client | 01:08 |
| ironhalik | pp7__: autherntication method 'password' failed | 01:08 |
| pp7__ | ironhalik, hmm | 01:08 |
| pp7__ | ironhalik, try from a different box | 01:09 |
| finish06 | interesting, it is illegal in some areas... seems dumb | 01:09 |
| Kimble | Dr_Willis: In practice, unfortunately, any permission changes are lost on unmounting/remounting the disk. | 01:09 |
| ironhalik | pp7__: tried from my phone and my lappy :) | 01:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Kimble: that dosent make sence. If you chown/chmod a file on a FS that uses linux permissions. they should stick. | 01:09 |
| timesupervisor | Kimble: Having problems with mounting rw disk? | 01:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Kimble: unless theres somthing really weird with btrfs. ie never used it. | 01:09 |
| Kimble | Dr_Willis: Oh, I should clarify that this is on Ubuntu Server, all activity conducted remotely over SSH. | 01:09 |
| dalek_ | another question.... am currently installing Ubuntu 11.10 from CD to a Win7 laptop for a mate. Now up to part where it is asking for install location. He want's to dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu. The main partition is /dev/sda2 and is currently ntfs. How do I split that partition in half and select it for ubuntu install? | 01:09 |
| acerimmer | !resize|dalek_ | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Kimble: if the FS supports the normal linux permissions and ownership. then you should be able to use chown/chmod as needed. for ntfs/vfat there are mount time options. | 01:10 |
| sherif | hi flash is so slow with chromium when i play any game on FB its very slow is there a way make flash games faster? | 01:10 |
| finish06 | what is the program that allows aircrack on mac? the icon had devil horns | 01:10 |
| timesupervisor | dalek_: probably using a partition manager? disk utility doesn't allow it :(. | 01:11 |
| psyrus | finish06, install the following ports gmake 3.81 | 01:11 |
| psyrus | sqlite3 | 01:11 |
| psyrus | ooops | 01:11 |
| psyrus | i cant even get it working yet under ubuntu ... | 01:12 |
| timesupervisor | is there a #windows in this irc server? lol :D | 01:12 |
| finish06 | why do I want to install gmake 3.81? | 01:12 |
| timesupervisor | oh there is | 01:12 |
| psyrus | finish06, it needs those | 01:13 |
| psyrus | finish06, go to this website its where i am at right now http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=install_aircrack | 01:13 |
| finish06 | o, got ya! okay, thanks! | 01:14 |
| finish06 | :) | 01:14 |
| psyrus | finish06, hey let me know how u do okay ? if u can that is | 01:14 |
| Kimble | Dr_Willis: what do you mean I should be able to use "chown/chmod as needed"? | 01:14 |
| finish06 | I am not going to do it this moment with my Mac, gonna do it later... when I do I can give you the info :) | 01:14 |
| psyrus | finish06, dont worry about it then .. | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Kimble: if that FS supports the normal permissions system. then you should be able to use chown/chmod and set the permissions - it should not be forgetting them. unless theres some nasty bugs going on. | 01:15 |
| North | I am trying to install the flash player for 32bit linux firefox. | 01:16 |
| psyrus | finish06, i mean if u see me still on, (check and make sure its the authenticated me 1st) /msg me the details on how well it works for u oaky ? | 01:16 |
| North | I downloaded install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz | 01:16 |
| North | but I could not install. | 01:16 |
| Kimble | I think you misunderstand. Mounting any USB device in Ubuntu Server default to mounting it with root ownerships. If I want to make any changes to the device I have to use sudo. It also means I have to create folders within the device with specific permissions for each user, instead of letting each user access the device as they choose. | 01:16 |
| cannonfodder | North just type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 01:17 |
| cannonfodder | then u get flash and everything else all auto installed | 01:17 |
| Kimble | How do I mount the device so that anyone can access it? | 01:17 |
| North | thanks, cannonfodder!! | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Kimble: it will depend on the fs the device is using. for ntfs-vfat there is the ntfs-config tool that can enable that feature. | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Kimble: for ext2/3/4 others that support permissions - you dont override the fs's permissions. | 01:19 |
| North | it;s very difficult to install the application such as Skype or something useful. | 01:19 |
| arjenAU | hmm seem to be having hassles installing Oneiric 64bit from USB to an i5 desktop. curious. Ubiquity installer crashes even for live. | 01:19 |
| Kimble | So, IOW, unless BTRFS allows some way of mounting a device with non-root ownerships, I'm out of luck? | 01:19 |
| pp7__ | North, why? | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Kimble: ext2/3/4 would have the same security feature. :) | 01:20 |
| AaronCampbell | I have an external drive that I want to drop some files on and send to a friend that uses a MAC. How should I set up the drive to send him? It looks like the best would be HFS+, but it seems that I can MAKE an HFS+ partition and read from it, but not write to it. Is there a better option? | 01:20 |
| North | I faced the problem. | 01:20 |
| Kimble | AaronCampbell: FAT32, ExFAT | 01:20 |
| AaronCampbell | The drive it 1TB, if that makes any difference | 01:20 |
| North | while setting the package, I can see the SUN Java 6 setting notices. | 01:20 |
| North | i cannot move to next step. | 01:21 |
| AaronCampbell | Kimble: really? Fat32 seems like an old (and questionable) format from what I've been reading. Is that the best option? | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | North: use the tab and enter keys to select the ok/i agree button perhaps? | 01:21 |
| North | ok let me try. | 01:22 |
| Kimble | AaronCampbell: if you want a Mac to read it and you can't write HFS(+), then ExFAT or FAT32. ExFAT is far more modern. | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | AaronCampbell: if files are under 4gb in size. fat32 can work. otherwise ntfs maybe better | 01:22 |
| AaronCampbell | Dr_Willis: Don't macs have issues reading/writing NTFS? | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | AaronCampbell: no idea.. 'macs have issues' :) is where i stop wth my mac ussage... | 01:23 |
| Kimble | AaronCampbell: I'm using a MAc right now, and own 3 others. What's the plan here. | 01:23 |
| * pp7__ loves ubuntu on his macbook pro | 01:24 | |
| MaxHR | Hello, am trying to boot from a usb HD (not solid state) using an install iso, unetbootin doesn't recognize the drive, any suggestions to get this to work? | 01:24 |
| AaronCampbell | Kimble: I just have about 50G of RAW photos that need to go to a friend that uses OSX on a macbook Pro. I bought a drive and was just going to drop the files on it an Mail it to him | 01:24 |
| timesupervisor | ms windows support sucks high. | 01:24 |
| North | I got the message that dpkg was interrupted. you must manually run 'dpkg- - configure -a" to correct a problem. | 01:24 |
| bobo37773 | MaxHR: What is the filesystem on the drive? | 01:24 |
| Kimble | AaronCampbell: I would just format the drive as ExFAT and you'll be fine. | 01:25 |
| timesupervisor | ms windows support using sarcasm on me lol. | 01:25 |
| psyrus | okay i just wante to say to y'all i got air crack running -- it looks like a term. based app , type "aircrack-ng --help" for a list of arugments | 01:25 |
| bobo37773 | North: Then run the command it told you too in a terminal. | 01:25 |
| psyrus | this thing has been ported to the iphone and tablets too... wicked | 01:25 |
| AaronCampbell | Kimble: I searched packages for exfat and see nothing. What do I need to be able to do that (neither disk utils or gparted are showing exfat as an option) | 01:26 |
| bobo37773 | psyrus: It is a decent tool. There is a lot you can do with it. | 01:26 |
| North | i tried but the terminal says the super user authentification is required. | 01:26 |
| North | ? | 01:26 |
| Kimble | AaronCampbell: oh, I didn't realise Ubuntu didn't have ExFAT support built-in. Just use FAT32. So long as no file is larger than 4GB, you'll be fine. | 01:26 |
| theadmin | North: You need to run that with sudo | 01:26 |
| North | ah | 01:27 |
| bobo37773 | North: Then use sudo | 01:27 |
| North | it's done. | 01:27 |
| psyrus | bobo37773, u wont believe what i did once just to get network acccess ... anyways i dont live near anyone else's router but i'll test it out tomorrow | 01:27 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||

| JLuc | hello | 01:28 |
| bobo37773 | JLuc: Hey | 01:28 |
| dlentz | either i'm dumb or unity is unintuitive because i had to restart lightdm to log out | 01:28 |
| bobo37773 | dlentz: Yep your dumb.... just kidding hahaha | 01:29 |
| dlentz | back in good old xfce now | 01:29 |
| bobo37773 | dlentz: Nice. | 01:29 |
| theadmin | dlentz: xfce is good. | 01:30 |
| dlentz | just curious, anyone know how to log out of unity in case i need to check something for triaging or something | 01:30 |
| pp7__ | dlentz, what u mean "log out of unity" ? | 01:30 |
| dlentz | log out, you know, go back to the login screen (lightdm) | 01:31 |
| pp7__ | dlentz, erm just logout like one normally does | 01:31 |
| JLuc | plz how too install french dictionnary for aspell ? | 01:31 |
| dlentz | i didn't see that option.. | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | top right gear icon has a log out menu item | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | or somewhere up there. :) | 01:31 |
| dlentz | i didn't have that, maybe because i;m using precise | 01:31 |
| bobo37773 | dlentz: Does ctrl+alt+del work? | 01:31 |
| pp7__ | dlentz, sudo pkill -KILL -u yourusername | 01:32 |
| ect0bi0l0gist | you mean ctrl alt backspace | 01:32 |
| dlentz | bobo37773, ctrl+alt+f1 works, but is a bit of a pain | 01:32 |
| bobo37773 | ect0bi0l0gist: No. Not to kill X. To bring up a logout splash. | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ask in #ubuntu+1 may be a bug | 01:32 |
| kermit | how can i extend the root partition? its greyed out in gparted. | 01:32 |
| ect0bi0l0gist | that works?? i never tried it... | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | kermit: you dont resize in use partitions. Use a live-cd is the normal way to do such a task | 01:33 |
| bobo37773 | Not sure | 01:33 |
| North | Can anybody install the useful application by remote control access????? | 01:34 |
| bobo37773 | dlentz: What is you just search for logout in the search bar? | 01:34 |
| bobo37773 | s/is/if/ | 01:34 |
| dlentz | tried that, i couldn't even figure out how to launch xchat because it wasn't finding that | 01:34 |
| MaxHR | bobo37773: I have one that is fat, one ntfs, unetbootin didn't see either one | 01:35 |
| dlentz | JLuc, sudo apt-get install aspell-fr | 01:35 |
| bobo37773 | MaxHR: I think it needs to be either fat32 or fat16 I don't remember which. | 01:35 |
| dlentz | i'm just going to chalk it up to running alpha software and i hope unity in oneiric is a lot better | 01:36 |
| JLuc | great thanks dlentz i was on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html but sudo apt get seems simpler ! | 01:36 |
| MaxHR | bobo37773: ok, so if its fat32, then I should try making a fat16 partition to make unetbootin happy? | 01:36 |
| JLuc | strangely there is no dictionnary available in the app manager | 01:36 |
| bobo37773 | dlentz: Is there a logout.desktop or something in /usr/share/applications/ ? | 01:37 |
| dlentz | no there's not | 01:37 |
| bobo37773 | MaxHR: No I think fat32 is right | 01:38 |
| cannonfodder | can someone help me with a slight issue. i think it might be a chroot type issue where apache cant look outside the folder /var/www I have a setup where im pretty much almost finished setting up apache to work with subversion; however, my subversion repository is at /var/svn while my apache is probably limited to /var/www i have this stuff set up so that apache already asks me for credentials when i try to access the repository, and when i enter | 01:38 |
| MaxHR | bobo37773: its already fat32, and unetbooting doesn't see it | 01:38 |
| theadmin | cannonfodder: Make a link? e.g. ln -s /var/svn /var/www/svnrepos | 01:38 |
| dlentz | bobo37773, thanks for your help, but don't worry about it | 01:39 |
| bobo37773 | MaxHR: That is the filesystem type unetbootin looks for I think. Is it mounted? | 01:39 |
| bobo37773 | dlentz: ok | 01:39 |
| North | how can I access the software center? | 01:39 |
| bobo37773 | MaxHR: Your file manager can see it right? | 01:39 |
| MaxHR | bobo37773: yes | 01:40 |
| bobo37773 | MaxHR: Does it have multiple partitions or is it all fat32? | 01:40 |
| dlentz | North, type 'software-center' in terminal? | 01:40 |
| MaxHR | all fat 32 | 01:40 |
| bobo37773 | weird | 01:40 |

| mutlaq | S0NiC, ##java shows nothinig. #java is invite only | 01:47 |
| MaxHR | dlentz: the drive is all fat32 now, and it is 700Gig | 01:47 |
| urlin2u | mutlaq, I believe you have to be registered with freenode | 01:47 |
| dlentz | lol fat32 shuld be 4gb at most | 01:48 |
| dlentz | fat16 no larger than 2GB | 01:48 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: Are you running out of space on the drive? | 01:48 |
| North | I would like to invite some expert to set up my Ubuntu setting. | 01:48 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: no | 01:48 |
| North | Any volunteer? | 01:48 |
| S0NiC | about half of the space is used | 01:48 |
| Darkfrost1 | Anyone want to try and help me work out my WiFi issues? Just about given up now, been trying to get it to work for well over a week :( - lspci = BCM4312 driver installed: wl rfkill list - Always sofblock: no, hardblock : yes, cannot work out why it always says hardblocked | 01:49 |
| S0NiC | and it says i should to apt-get -f install but this is a loop and i cant get out of it... | 01:49 |
| North | I wan to leave the Ubuntu OS. | 01:49 |
| Dr_Willis | cannonfodder: Im not clear on what you are trying to do. :) if the dir permissions are blockking the normal user, then change its permissions, or use a root shell. not 'sudo cd' | 01:49 |
| dlentz | Darkfrost1, do you have a wireless key on your laptop | 01:49 |
| MaxHR | dlentz: interesting... | 01:49 |
| Darkfrost1 | Wireless key? | 01:49 |
| Dr_Willis | North: give more details as to what you are trying to do exactly. | 01:49 |
| dlentz | a key that turns on/off wireless | 01:50 |
| dlentz | or is this a desktop? | 01:50 |
| Darkfrost1 | Ah, yeah, tried pressing it, no luck :( | 01:50 |
| MaxHR | dlentz: I think you meant file size, not partition size | 01:50 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: any ideas? | 01:50 |
| lamia | need help | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | no reason to msg me North . I am going to be leaveing for work in 10 min or so anyway. | 01:51 |
| dlentz | yes you're right about the fat32 | 01:51 |
| dlentz | sorry about that | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | North: flash is installable by the package manager tools. | 01:51 |
| urlin2u | dlentz, you talking fat32 files or partition size, it is only file size I believe. | 01:51 |
| dlentz | urlin2u, i was thinking of fat16 and 2GB limit on partition | 01:52 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: No. Which error are we talking about? The apport one? What is the problem exactly? | 01:52 |
| North | I tried to install the flash with your experts advices. I failed finally. | 01:52 |
| dlentz | and then forgot fat32 could be much bigger | 01:52 |
| urlin2u | dlentz, it happens. :D | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | North: tell the channel exactly what you did. what failed. and what error messages it showed. | 01:53 |
| North | I told many times. | 01:53 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: did you saw my nopaste-posting=? | 01:53 |
| North | I faced many new error messages. | 01:53 |
| S0NiC | i try to update my 11.10 but i cant do that, becuase it says my database are damaged... and i should do apt-get -f install | 01:54 |
| S0NiC | but thats a loop, i cant get out of it.. | 01:54 |
| North | Finally I wanted to invite somebody to install by remote control access. | 01:54 |
| dlentz | North, there's a nice script to remove all the old flash and grab the latest one. Let me see if i can find it. | 01:55 |
| myndzi | ok wow this is getting awful. x will start until i reboot, then it enters the loop, what could that be? | 01:55 |
| Dr_Willis | myndzi: what loop? | 01:55 |
| North | OK dlentz | 01:55 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: Yes. I did not understand it completely though. | 01:57 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: Oh I see | 01:57 |
| fig | nick tlf | 01:57 |
| === fig is now known as tlf | ||
| dlentz | North, im thinking of Flash-Aid plugin for firefox | 01:57 |
| tlf | I'm using ubuntu 11.10, when I try and access applications via my menu at the top-left I | 01:57 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: any ideas what to do? | 01:57 |
| tlf | I'm unable to see any of my applications. When I try searching for htem in the search bar in that menu, nothing will show for programs I know are on the system | 01:58 |
| North | OK dlentz | 01:58 |
| myndzi | Dr_Willis: for context, i'm running in vmware player. it just flickers between two black screens of different resolutions | 01:58 |
| myndzi | when x starts successfully, the window gets bigger (resolution change) and then the desktop gets drawn etc. | 01:58 |
| myndzi | i assume something is crashing but don't know how to investigate | 01:58 |
| myndzi | i can get a root prompt but i don't know what to look at | 01:58 |
| kermit | Dr_Willis: i have before before these new partition table types, when i could use fdisk | 01:58 |
| MaxHR | dlentz: so the drive isn't even being seen by unetbootin, I don't get the chance to try to right to it, file manager sees it fine though | 01:59 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: Are you trying to update your whole system or a single application? | 01:59 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: it was trying to install the omap4 addons | 01:59 |
| S0NiC | its a pandaboard but the guys in ubuntu-arm sait, thats no typical arm error... | 02:00 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: Try updating first --> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:00 |
| Tiraspol | If anyone knows anything : http://i.imgur.com/Fiaae.jpg | 02:00 |
| Tiraspol | Anyone know any of these? Just gotta match left with right | 02:00 |
| dlentz | MaxHR, i always use gnome-disk-utility (palimpsest) to create the fat partition for unetbootin | 02:01 |
| xangua | Tiraspol: this is not #wedoyourhomework channel | 02:01 |
| bobo37773 | hahaha | 02:01 |
| bazhang | Tiraspol, thats offtopic here, try ##english or #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:01 |
| urlin2u | xangua, lol | 02:01 |
| finish06 | It specifically states in the German Law section 202c that "...obtaining..." software to intercept data is illegal. | 02:02 |
| bobo37773 | xangua: Is there a channel like that? haha | 02:02 |
| dlentz | finish06, laws like that are used to prosecute people who do things that aren;t otherwise technically illegal | 02:03 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: ill try wait a sec | 02:04 |
| dlentz | i doubt men in uncomfortable shoes will come to your door if you download a tarball | 02:04 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: if i do apt-get upgrade i run in the same error... | 02:04 |
| S0NiC | gstreamer is my problem... ;( | 02:04 |
| finish06 | dlentz, I understand the intention of the law, however, the poor language of the law makes it illegal to download aircrack-ng in Germany. | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | myndzi: id say check the forums for any vmware/unity issues and perhaps try a differnt desktop like lxde as a test | 02:05 |
| orca_ | Are you guys talking about SOPA? | 02:05 |
| bazhang | !ot | 02:05 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:05 |
| myndzi | Dr_Willis: well, it DOES launch correctly after install | 02:05 |
| chuck[screen] | kill -9 won't kill a process.... what should i do? | 02:05 |
| myndzi | i've been googling for hours :\ | 02:05 |
| myndzi | shouldn't there be a log somewhere telling me what it was trying to do? | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | myndzi: you may also want to disable the login manager, and just use a console logon and 'startx' as needed | 02:05 |
| djacidfx | hello everyone | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | myndzi: i never use vmware. so no idea on its specifics. | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | myndzi: it sounds like gdm/X/unity is starting/crashing and repeating for some reason. | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | actually its lightdm in 11.10 :) | 02:06 |
| myndzi | how do i disable the login manager? | 02:06 |
| kevin_h | Hello all, how do I make myself the root user with terminal? | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !text | myndzi | 02:06 |
| ubottu | myndzi: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 02:06 |
| djacidfx | su | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | kevin_h | 02:06 |
| ubottu | kevin_h: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | not su. :) sudo.... | 02:07 |
| kevin_h | sudo pipe? | 02:07 |

| renegade_m | hi guyz! | 02:07 |
| kevin_h | thx | 02:07 |
| djacidfx | how do i enable login menu | 02:07 |
| myndzi | thanks, i'll see what happens | 02:07 |
| renegade_m | where can i download this file linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic? | 02:07 |
| hydrox24 | kevin_h: sudo -i | 02:07 |
| myndzi | i'm fine with typing it, i just want to use the server in unity mode | 02:08 |
| hydrox24 | kevin_h: or even "sudo su" or "sudo bash" to open a new shell as root | 02:08 |
| xangua | renegade_m: intrepid is no longer supported | 02:08 |
| North | Can I upload the screenshot to this window? | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo su and sudo bash, are not the proper ways.. | 02:08 |

| S0NiC | bobo37773: which packe would you suggest to remove? | 02:11 |
| Dr_Willis | theres some archive-somthing-ubuntu.com server or similer name. :) i never rember | 02:11 |
| psyrus | omg!! if i wanna install VLC in ubuntu instead of banshee (which i love its cute) i gotta uninstall my zsnes:i386 (i NEED that for zsnes) and i gotta remove two direct media layer files, does anyone know if this sounds right ? | 02:11 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: Is one of the packages failing to install? Or is apt-get itself broken? | 02:12 |
| kevin_h | hello all, how do I make myself root ( I lost Dr_Willis' link) | 02:12 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: i didnt think so | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | kevin_h | 02:12 |

| hydrox24 | psyrus: probably something to do with architecture incompatibilities by the sounds of things. | 02:12 |
| S0NiC | but i cant uninstall gstreamer... | 02:12 |
| S0NiC | doesnt work | 02:12 |
| renegade_m | I like to question the same as Kevin_H | 02:12 |
| S0NiC | or maybe iam do silly... | 02:12 |
| hydrox24 | psyrus: essentially it DOESNT sound right.. | 02:13 |
| hydrox24 | psyrus: can you paste the output on pstebin and put the link here? | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | zsnes is 32bit only - i think it may be somehow related to the compatibility libs for 64 to 32bit. | 02:13 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: If you try to uninstall gstreamer what does it say? | 02:13 |
| psyrus | hydrox24, okay whatever I dont care i'll run i different snes emulator -- i just dont see how vlc could possibly conflict with zsnes ??! | 02:13 |
| renegade_m | can I log-in as a user root in ubuntu? | 02:13 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: unable to locate package... | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | psyrus: 32bit to 64bit compatibilty libs. is my guess... you are on a 64bit install? | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | renegade_m: you use 'sudo' as needed... | 02:14 |
| xangua | renegade_m: you mean graphical root¿¿ bad idea | 02:14 |
| renegade_m | yeah. | 02:14 |
| kk9822 | hi | 02:14 |
| renegade_m | i see.. | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | renegade_m: you do NOT directly log in as root. | 02:14 |
| aBound | ZSNES is 32-Bit Only. | 02:14 |
| renegade_m | i see.. | 02:14 |
| renegade_m | :) | 02:14 |
| kk9822 | i have a problem i cant play music | 02:14 |
| psyrus | Dr_Willis , yeah i am.. its no wonder most all the linux dist. websites I go to they encourage u to install the 32 bit.. i wonder if that is regardless of your cpu | 02:14 |
| renegade_m | but yusing sudo, meaning you are root? | 02:14 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: Because it is called something else. gstreamer-something. Search for the problem package --> apt-cache search gstreamer | 02:14 |
| kk9822 | i want to reinstall music software | 02:15 |
| kk9822 | how do i do | 02:15 |
| aBound | Last time ZSNES was updated was 5 years ago. | 02:15 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: is it possible to get a list from installed packages? | 02:15 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: Or you could just try the software center... | 02:15 |
| ironhalik | hmm, is there any fix or the laggy browser scrolling on some ubuntu installations? | 02:15 |
| S0NiC | dpgk...? | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | psyrus: ubuntu is going to reccoment 64bit soon i belive.. te recomendation these days is mroe for 'idiot proofing' then any real reasons. | 02:15 |
| xangua | ironhalik: firefox¿ disable smooth scrolling on it's preferences | 02:15 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: Yeah I think so. | 02:15 |
| aBound | ZSNES is a free software SNES emulator written mostly in x86 assembly | 02:15 |
| renegade_m | I have one user and the root in my ubuntu.. | 02:15 |
| psyrus | Dr_Willis, i think linux is where windows/mac were about 5 years ago as far as 32/64 bit compatibility | 02:15 |
| ironhalik | xangua: and chrome? :) | 02:15 |
| xangua | ironhalik: no idea, I don't use it | 02:16 |
| renegade_m | when I use sudo, it ask for a password, and I use my password in another account not the root password. | 02:16 |
| ironhalik | kk thx | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | psyrus: i think you are totally wrong. I have had very few if any 64bit issues I have many more 32/64bit issues in windows. | 02:16 |
| kevin_h | thank you Dr_willis | 02:16 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: if i try apt-get remove gstreamer* than i run into the same error... | 02:16 |
| renegade_m | as I understand, I can also put password for a root account. | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | renegade_m: there is no root user password. sudo wants the users password | 02:16 |
| xangua | ironhalik: you may wanna try crhomium instead, is 100% free/libre and already on repositories | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | renegade_m: so you are underatsnding wrong. :) | 02:16 |
| xangua | chromium* | 02:16 |
| renegade_m | ah.. | 02:16 |
| renegade_m | :) | 02:16 |
| roadfish | when iptstate displays source "###.###.###.###:XXXXX", what is this "XXXXX" coming after the IP-address and ":" character? | 02:16 |
| renegade_m | ok thanks for that!:) | 02:16 |
| ironhalik | xangua: sure, thx | 02:16 |
| bobo37773 | S0NiC: What is the error? | 02:17 |
| Darkfrost1 | Anyone want to try and help me work out my WiFi issues? Just about given up now, been trying to get it to work for well over a week :( - lspci = BCM4312 driver installed: wl rfkill list - Always sofblock: no, hardblock : yes, cannot work out why it always says hardblocked | Wireless switch ON, wireless key seems to do nothing | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | zsnes is about the only app i can think of these days that is 32bit only.. | 02:17 |
| renegade_m | then, in an ubuntu O.S. who is considered to be administrator? | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | thats due to it being developed in assembly in years past. | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | renegade_m: your first user has full 'sudo rights' | 02:17 |
| renegade_m | owkie.:) | 02:18 |
| renegade_m | now I know.:) | 02:18 |
| hydrox24 | Darkfrost1: is the issue that you can't connect to wifi? | 02:18 |
| dlentz | Darkfrost1, what kind of laptop? | 02:18 |
| renegade_m | my problem now is to get the wireless works in the 8.10 ubuntu..:) haha. | 02:18 |
| dlentz | hydrox24, s/he's hard blocked | 02:18 |
| aBound | ZSNES can be written to support 64-Bit seeing as the source still exist. :P | 02:18 |
| hydrox24 | Can someone help me with making shotwell start automatically on boot, except in minimized mode? | 02:19 |

| Darkfrost1 | Issue is it always says wifi is disabled by hardware switch | 02:19 |
| psyrus | Dr_Willis, i know windows and o/s x are still in the early stages of 64 bit , but i guess i've just been lucky to not have had much issue with mixing up 32 and 64 bit software here in the last 6-12 months, hell even my keyboard manufactorer "MAUDIO" wrote 64 bit code for their midi devices | 02:19 |
| hydrox24 | psyrus: It's more of an issue simply because of the package management and dependency resolution systems | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | psyrus: i dont think they are in the early stages any more. | 02:20 |
| hydrox24 | psyrus: one of the few disadvanteages of their amazingness | 02:20 |

| psyrus | hydrox24, its hard for me to describe the advancement of computer technology, it's all happening very quickly, so imo, i call it all "early" stages really | 02:22 |
| S0NiC | bobo37773: not it works | 02:22 |

| aeon-ltd | _Marcus: mv | 02:24 |
| od3n | yeah I thought so but I get an error when I try to do that | 02:24 |
| hydrox24 | od3n: I was wrong though, I meant "sudo (user)" then once you've got a shell as that user: "xchat" | 02:24 |

| od3n | ok | 02:28 |
| hydrox24 | od3n: It's a command-line IRC client | 02:29 |
| finish06 | xangua, you are a life save... I reinstalled and transfered everything over, but did transfer hidden files (stupid) and lost my firefox favorites! O NO!!!! so many good sites that I don't know the URL for necause I never had to type it. hehe | 02:29 |

| dr_willis | its booting to a busybox shell as part of the initrd/failure proicess - | 03:39 |
| urlin2u | eijikoden, what is the problem you need grub fixed? | 03:39 |
| metaspike | bdkbdk, relevant to your version of choice | 03:40 |
| dr_willis | grub sounds like its working.. but it may be misconfigured . or theres been some other damage to the system | 03:40 |
| |Anthony| | is there a program in the repos for lucid that will work with .7z files? | 03:40 |
| _mike_ | how can i change the priority of applications to a higher standard? I have tried in system monitor by right clicking and changing priority however, it says Permissions Denied. | 03:40 |
| randomuser` | I've just discovered that I can't print properly to a network printer. I've tried using both postscript and passthrough queues, removing/reconfiguring the printer, and using a known good PPD. Printer is functioning as expected on other clients; this one prints a 'configurationerror.....setpagedevice' command. Any suggestions? | 03:41 |
| eijikoden | IT worked before, but the battery died and now it's looping. | 03:41 |
| ablyss | _mike_, man nice | 03:41 |
| dr_willis | theres 7zip tools for linux |Anthony| no idea whats in the lucid repos. but t may be in there | 03:41 |
| urlin2u | eijikoden, this basically a fresh install? | 03:41 |
| |Anthony| | dr_willis, i just opend synaptic and typed 7z | 03:42 |
| eijikoden | brand new, fresh install. I installed it, tested it on two machines, booted up without the busybox error. SEnt it out, the recipient booted once and got the busybox error. | 03:42 |
| dr_willis | !zip | 03:42 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 03:42 |
| eijikoden | Found the hold shift on boot fix, worked, machine up and running. Power dies, busybox loops | 03:42 |
| _mike_ | ablyss, I am also a system administrator and get permissions denied when trying to change priority | 03:43 |
| dr_willis | fsck the filesystem if y | 03:43 |
| bdkbdk | metaspike, ok, but how can I tell which ones are ones that ubuntu provides? Most of them refer to mirrors, not canonical.com. | 03:43 |
| urlin2u | eijikoden, personally if it was me I would just fresh install, but I always measure fix time against a install, and have bery little on my computer but the OS, you choice really. | 03:43 |
| urlin2u | very* | 03:44 |
| eijikoden | I'd do a fresh install, but it's a thousand miles away, on a netbook, with no livecd access | 03:44 |
| randomuser` | urlin2u, that;s the worst kind of support, its OK if you personally cant help | 03:44 |

| dr_willis | i dont recall the 7zip binary names | 03:46 |
| nimbiotics | dr_willis: I tried .profile before but it didnt do it. didnt try .bashrc cause I rad somewhere not to do it there | 03:46 |
| eijikoden | Is there anything I can have them do in the busybox screen to fix it? | 03:46 |

| nimbiotics | dr_willis: do I have to use export PATH?? | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | nimbiotics: if you want it to affect all spawned erminals.. normally yes | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | exporting -> setting is set in child processes also. | 03:50 |
| berkay | OK. I was working on a file on Open Office, I also saved the file. But then my computer shut down because of my power cable. After I opened my computer, I opened the file and accidentally clicked "don't repair" button. And all my work is gone now. What can I do now? | 03:50 |
| dr_willis | this is why i always turn on the auto-save every 5 min featuers | 03:51 |

| dr_willis | i think export and foo=bar are picky on spacea around the = | 03:55 |
| metaspike | bdkbdk, the crux of the version upgrade is that you must change the name from lucid to orenic for example | 03:56 |

| bdkbdk | metaspike, While the package manager is running, it replaces the sources.list file with a new one that has s/maverick/natty. When it fails, it reverts it. | 03:58 |
| nimbiotics | ablyss: that did the trick, THX A BUNCH!! | 03:58 |

| ablyss | berkay: if you have cloud storage it might be there | 03:59 |
| dr_willis | there is the openoffice/libreoffice channel isent there? | 03:59 |
| randomuser` | ddelrio1986, it's a bad idea, in general.... | 03:59 |
| berkay | ablyss I'm checking | 03:59 |
| eijikoden | Does anyone have any other suggestions about my busybox boot problem? | 03:59 |
| randomuser` | eijikoden, i missed it, sorry | 04:00 |
| S0NiC | hi | 04:00 |
| dr_willis | eijikoden: without more specific error messages.. id syggest booting a live usb, and fscking the filesystems. | 04:00 |
| S0NiC | does anyone know how to create about 70%cpuload? | 04:00 |
| berkay | ablyss I'm not using my ubuntu on english, could you please explain how I can find it? | 04:00 |
| ddelrio1986 | randomuser`: Well on my local machine I have a project folder in my home directory and I symlink each project needed into /var/www but then www-data can write to folders in the project. | 04:00 |

| ddelrio1986 | randomuser`: *can't; What would you do? | 04:00 |
| dr_willis | bbl. | 04:01 |
| berkay | urlin2u thank you | 04:01 |
| randomuser` | ddelrio1986, put your www data in /var/www? | 04:01 |
| urlin2u | berkay, np the o is a capital as well my bad | 04:01 |
| eijikoden | OK, I'll ask if there are any other error messages, I don't have the usb stick in my possession, and the other person doesn't have access to a livecd, it's a netbook | 04:01 |
| S0NiC | hmm any ideas? | 04:02 |
| ddelrio1986 | randomuser`: I guess I could but then it would be owned by root:root and to work on the files I would have to open every editor I use as administrator. | 04:02 |
| randomuser` | ddelrio1986, you add your user to a group that is allowed to edit those files | 04:03 |
| dcplaya | Can anyone help me, when i rdp into my ubuntu machine, the desktop is plain, no way to start an app, all I can do is open a file explorer | 04:04 |
| ablyss | ddelrio1986: i see no problem in assigning www-data to your own group. its home pc serving personal stuff | 04:05 |
| ddelrio1986 | ablyss: I was thinking that as well but wasn't sure if that was even worse. I could also change the ownership of the projects to daniel:www-data right? | 04:06 |
| ddelrio1986 | ablyss: Then make them 775. | 04:06 |
| eijikoden | I will try to be back with more info. Thanks for the help. | 04:06 |
| ziad | I need help setting up something in xfce | 04:06 |
| ziad | I don't know how to set up a short cut to open terminal | 04:07 |
| randomuser` | ddelrio1986, you dont need to bother with anything but the chmod if you do that | 04:07 |
| ablyss | chmod -Rv /your_www_data_files | 04:08 |
| ddelrio1986 | Okay so add www-data to the daniel group and then chmod the files to 775? I'll go with that then. I know its not the most secure but this is just for my dev environment. I think this is the best solution to since when I pull updated from the repo new files will get added as daniel:daniel as the owner. | 04:08 |
| bdkbdk | metaspike, It's still failing in the same way. The sources.list entries all look OK. Any other ideas? The apt.log has a lot of lines like this: | 04:09 |
| bdkbdk | Broken xul-ext-ubufox:amd64 Depends on apturl-kde [ amd64 ] < none -> 0.4.2ubuntu5.1 > ( admin ) | 04:09 |
| bdkbdk | Considering apturl-kde:amd64 1 as a solution to xul-ext-ubufox:amd64 12 | 04:09 |
| bdkbdk | Try Installing apturl-kde [ amd64 ] < none -> 0.4.2ubuntu5.1 > ( admin ) before changing xul-ext-ubufox:amd64 | 04:09 |

| bdkbdk | Or group remove for xul-ext-ubufox:amd64 | 04:09 |
| randomuser` | ddelrio1986, dev environment imples you have a production environment. dont you think you should test your own ability to follow best practices and security, as much as your code? | 04:09 |
| ddelrio1986 | randomuser`: Yes although on my production environment my files would just be in /var/www and I would have no need to directly alter the files on there. | 04:10 |
| ddelrio1986 | randomuser`: On my local machine I need to be able to edit the files and doing what I do on production would require me to open every editor or other tool that uses the files in root privileges. | 04:11 |
| randomuser` | unless the files are editable by non-root users. | 04:11 |
| hanasaki | why is it that the flash and fglrx packages in amd64 installs have 386 depends? | 04:12 |
| ablyss | ddelrio1986: if its local access only you could setup another server with different user account too | 04:14 |

| rcmaehl | ablyss: I'm not okay with it's appearance | 04:29 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: It may be respawning itself. Use htop or similar and look for some parent threads. Or try "killall" commandname | 04:29 |
| OptikKore | also should i go with the amd64 since the C50 cpu is capable of 64bi? | 04:29 |

| chuck[screen] | hahaha | 04:35 |
| chuck[screen] | when in doubt, kill pid 1.... | 04:35 |
| bobo37774 | maybe that should be the new irc slogan | 04:35 |
| bobo37774 | randomuser`: Are you still alive? | 04:35 |
| chuck[screen] | :) | 04:35 |
| randomuser` | hang on bobo37774 ssh is bit slow. | 04:36 |
| bobo37774 | randomuser`: wew I thought killing pid 1 sent you into another dimension | 04:36 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: kind of like dividing by zero? :P | 04:37 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: Did you try killall? | 04:37 |
| chuck[screen] | no, let me try | 04:37 |
| Mayank | Hi I have installed ubuntu 11.04 via wubi, i had a improper shut down. And when I am trying to boot into ubuntu it shows me the busybox shell. I tried running fsck from Live-usb but that is not working probably because I have a wubi install(install inside windows) How can I get it working? | 04:37 |
| randomuser` | it appears to be completely ineffective | 04:37 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: by negative zero hahaha | 04:37 |
| bobo37774 | randomuser`: Oh you really tried it? | 04:37 |
| randomuser` | kernel: [308551.301420] init: Re-executing /sbin/init | 04:38 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774, randomuser`: it would respawn, no? cuz of the init-level | 04:38 |
| chuck[screen] | yeah | 04:38 |
| chuck[screen] | that | 04:38 |
| chuck[screen] | err, run-level | 04:38 |
| randomuser` | but doesn't init itself determine the processes that run on a particular runlevel? | 04:39 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: There should be a way to kill it. There has to be. | 04:39 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: killall did not work | 04:39 |
| * randomuser` throws chuck[screen] into the recursion abyss | 04:39 | |
| randomuser` | chuck[screen], paste your ps aux|grep gnome-do | 04:40 |
| urlin2u | Mayank, just for refrence if you need the is a wubi megatrhread at the ubuntu forums and a couple of users on everyday that are wubi proficient http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198 | 04:40 |
| urlin2u | there* | 04:40 |

| randomuser` | wait, kill -HUP | 04:41 |
| chuck[screen] | randomuser`: nope | 04:41 |
| chuck[screen] | still there | 04:42 |
| randomuser` | kill -L will give you options to try | 04:42 |
| Mayank | urlin2u: could you checck this once - http://paste.ubuntu.com/818464/ this is what boot-repair app gives me. I have to run fsck on sda2/Wubi I suppose? | 04:42 |
| chuck[screen] | randomuser`: i've tried a few. -L only works generically, not for a specific process | 04:42 |
| randomuser` | yeah, sorry | 04:43 |
| randomuser` | chuck[screen], ctl+alt+backspace? | 04:43 |
| urlin2u | Mayank, I really like that script I use it often, but I'm not real familiar with wubi, be careful wubi does not use grub like a normal install, it is the windows bootloader in the mbre. | 04:44 |
| urlin2u | mbr | 04:44 |
| chuck[screen] | randomuser`: sigh, yeah, i could try that... | 04:44 |
| randomuser` | :( | 04:44 |
| overclucker | kill -9 doesn't do it? | 04:44 |
| chuck[screen] | nope | 04:44 |
| overclucker | what are you trying to kill? | 04:45 |
| === OwnitoErgoSum is now known as ChewsGumKicksBum | ||
| chuck[screen] | i didn't even think it was possible for kill -9 NOT to work, but apparently i'm wrong... | 04:45 |
| Mayank | urlin2u: np, thanks! just referring to the forums link that you gave me! | 04:45 |
| chuck[screen] | overclucker: some gnome-do component | 04:46 |
| urlin2u | Mayank, cool that thread author a bcbc the king wubi user there are your friends | 04:46 |
| urlin2u | and* | 04:46 |
| damo22 | kill -9 doesnt work if your pc has locked up and you dont have access to a terminal | 04:46 |
| Mayank | heh! yes, just wondering if there is another room for wubi users | 04:47 |
| Mayank | urlin2u: ^ | 04:47 |
| chuck[screen] | damo22: i'm sitting at said computer | 04:47 |
| damo22 | chuck[screen]: did you try ctrl-alt-F1 and then log in | 04:47 |
| urlin2u | Mayank, I don't see one with a channel search. | 04:47 |
| chuck[screen] | damo22: how would that be any different that opening a terminal? | 04:47 |
| chuck[screen] | *than | 04:47 |
| randomuser` | DISPLAY=, of course | 04:48 |
| Mayank | urlin2u, yeah i tried it too. thanks anyway :) | 04:48 |
| urlin2u | Mayank, np. :D | 04:48 |
| chuck[screen] | hah | 04:48 |
| damo22 | ctrl-alt-F1 gives you local console access | 04:48 |
| chuck[screen] | damo22: yes, i know. | 04:48 |
| chuck[screen] | damo22: so does opening gnome-terminal :) | 04:48 |
| damo22 | i have experienced Xorg locking up but i was able to switch to console and kill X to recover | 04:49 |
| chuck[screen] | damo22: Xorg is not locking up | 04:49 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: Yeah, I don't see it as being any different at all. | 04:49 |
| damo22 | ok | 04:49 |
| randomuser` | chuck[screen], maybe you should just renice and leave it be until you feel like restarting your session | 04:49 |
| chuck[screen] | but | 04:49 |
| chuck[screen] | the thing is | 04:49 |
| chuck[screen] | then i can't use gnome-do :( | 04:49 |
| djcobra | hi guys... just wondering if anyone could be kind enough to help me with telnet or ssh | 04:49 |
| === fr0stbyte is now known as ericmuyser | ||
| djcobra | i can't seem to login to ubuntu machine from work | 04:50 |
| randomuser` | you can do everything you need to with emacs. | 04:50 |
| chuck[screen] | <-- not that 1337 | 04:50 |
| damo22 | djcobra sounds like a port forwarding issue | 04:50 |
| chuck[screen] | <-- uses nano | 04:50 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, try ssh -vvv | 04:50 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: What are gnome-do dependencies? | 04:50 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: in my workflow, you mean, or the package itself? | 04:51 |
| djcobra | my port forwarding is enabled on the router | 04:51 |
| djcobra | randomuser`, what do you mean? | 04:51 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: The package itself | 04:51 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, type 'ssh -vvv $HOSTNAME' | 04:51 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: Is there a mono process you can kill? | 04:52 |
| randomuser` | bobo37774, likely mono, gnome* | 04:52 |
| chuck[screen] | hmmm | 04:52 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: i don't know what it would be called | 04:52 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: Maybe the same way you searched earlier? | 04:53 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: ps -ef | grep -i mono turns up nothing | 04:53 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: hmmm the plot thickens | 04:53 |
| djcobra | randomuser`, okay i did that, just typed in yes a few times | 04:53 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: mono, dbus, glib et al... | 04:53 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: no way its glib I know that for sure | 04:54 |
| chuck[screen] | http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/gnome-do | 04:54 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, did you learn anything from it? | 04:54 |
| === nathan_ is now known as Guest90846 | ||
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: agreed | 04:54 |
| randomuser` | chuck[screen], compare ps ef|grep to ps aux|grep | 04:54 |
| djcobra | scrolling through it | 04:54 |
| Guest90846 | what is this xchat thing for | 04:55 |
| * randomuser` doesnt trust ps ef | 04:55 | |
| overclucker | chuck[screen]: can you target it with xkill? | 04:55 |
| * chuck[screen] trusts ef | 04:55 | |
| randomuser` | Guest90846, it's for asking inane questions to random people | 04:55 |
| chuck[screen] | randomuser`: same thing, no results | 04:55 |
| randomuser` | kk | 04:55 |
| chuck[screen] | overclucker: is that the gui killer thingy? | 04:55 |
| overclucker | yup | 04:55 |
| chuck[screen] | overclucker: there's no visible window, so no | 04:56 |
| Guest90846 | how does it work? like does this window pop up in games? | 04:56 |
| djcobra | i've never had any luck with ssh | 04:56 |
| djcobra | i can telnet using one of the internal computers | 04:56 |
| chuck[screen] | randomuser`: i consider my question a valuable learning experience, personally :) | 04:56 |
| djcobra | but can't telnet from work | 04:56 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, what exact command are you typing? | 04:56 |
| Guest90846 | ? | 04:56 |
| chuck[screen] | lol telnet | 04:57 |
| djcobra | yeah i know its funny... but thats what i used back in the college days | 04:57 |
| djcobra | only thing i know | 04:57 |
| Guest90846 | this is a support channel? | 04:57 |
| Kaylee | yes | 04:57 |
| Guest90846 | ok | 04:57 |
| djcobra | ssh -vvv server | 04:57 |
| chuck[screen] | yeah, i definitely remember telnet | 04:57 |
| chuck[screen] | haven't used it for quite some time, though | 04:57 |
| Guest90846 | so this is support for ubuntu? | 04:58 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, and its definately the IP of your home, and not a reserved IP? (ie 192....) | 04:58 |
| chuck[screen] | alright, i really need to get started on my lab, so i'm just going to log out so that init restarts | 04:58 |
| pehden | how do i get ChanServ to stay in my registered channe; | 04:58 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: My vote is for mono being the problem. | 04:59 |
| djcobra | if i use my isp ip i can't login | 04:59 |
| randomuser` | pehden, that sounds suspiciously like question for #freenode | 04:59 |
| djcobra | but works fine when i use my internal ip 192.... bleh bleh | 04:59 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: Can you bring up gnome-do with the keyboard combination? | 04:59 |
| w00tmars | um i was installing ubuntu from thumb drive and my sister removed the thumb drive, so i started again and i clicked the erase ubuntu and reinstall... | 04:59 |
| djcobra | ports have been forwarded on the router | 04:59 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, if you are not at home, you cannot possibly expect your lan IP to work | 04:59 |
| w00tmars | does it go into the partition it was already installed in? | 04:59 |
| pehden | randomuser` ok then | 04:59 |
| w00tmars | (partially)installed i mean | 04:59 |
| djcobra | i know | 04:59 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: no, which is exactly how i noticed this in the first place | 05:00 |
| w00tmars | guys? | 05:00 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: Oh, gotcha | 05:00 |
| chuck[screen] | also, i'm dumb. X is not init. looks like i have to restart fully | 05:00 |
| chuck[screen] | cannot kill PID 1 :( | 05:00 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: ok so what's the problem? | 05:01 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: killing pid 1 all the way would have to bring your system down | 05:01 |
| djcobra | never had this issue with slackware back in the days, | 05:01 |
| djcobra | anyone know what i'm doing wrong? | 05:01 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, if your valid ISP IP address doesn't work, you have at least one of several problems: bad port forward, sshd is not listening, firewall has closed the port, ISP is blocking the port | 05:01 |
| Nater326 | What do i do with Xchat? | 05:01 |
| dlentz | good night/morning/afternoon, folks | 05:01 |
| randomuser` | Nater326, you're doing it | 05:01 |
| bobo37774 | hahaha | 05:01 |
| w00tmars | i was installing from thumd drive and it was partially installed and my sister removed the thumb drive so i started installing again there was a option saying Erase ubuntu and install again, i chose that.i was wondering if it would be installing the same partition it was installed on before bobo37774 | 05:02 |
| Nater326 | oh | 05:02 |
| djcobra | probably firewall, anyway i can open that port on the linux box? | 05:02 |
| Nater326 | I mean what is it for? | 05:02 |
| North | I wanna change the channel to irc.ubuntu.com #ubuntu-ko. | 05:02 |
| North | what can I do? | 05:02 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: Is it a dualboot? | 05:02 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, you have my permission | 05:02 |
| kl4m | North, /j #ubuntu-ko | 05:02 |
| w00tmars | bobo37774: yep | 05:02 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: Gparted in on the liveusb right? | 05:03 |
| Nater326 | what is xchat meant for? | 05:03 |
| Arduno | join #ubuntu | 05:03 |
| djcobra | ? | 05:03 |
| S0NiC | hmm how to use packages from a usbstick? | 05:03 |
| bobo37774 | Nater326: For chatting with us right now? | 05:03 |
| randomuser` | chuck[screen], see what you got me into? I came in here because CUPS is regressed, and now I'm offering support... | 05:03 |
| djcobra | isn't there conf file that i can edit? | 05:03 |
| Nater326 | oh its just a chat program | 05:03 |
| bobo37774 | S0NiC: Hey. Did you solve your problem from earlier? | 05:03 |
| kl4m | bobo37774, gparted is on the liveCD/USB | 05:03 |
| w00tmars | bobo37774: yep | 05:04 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, do you have access to the target box right now? | 05:04 |
| S0NiC | hey bobo37774 no. i reinstalled it, i have a deadline.. only two hours. can you help me for a moment? | 05:04 |
| w00tmars | i think the boot screen just messed up or something, saw a lot of lines on it | 05:04 |
| w00tmars | but its booted up successfully | 05:04 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: use it to look at the partitions. The ones that are linux ext2 ext4 swap solaris are for linux | 05:04 |
| djcobra | yes. i'm at home on the internal network | 05:04 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: I am assuming the dual boot is with Windows sorry. Is it? | 05:05 |
| damo22 | djcobra: try ssh to a remote location, then ssh back to your home | 05:05 |
| damo22 | to test incoming connections | 05:05 |
| w00tmars | bobo37774: yes | 05:05 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, iptables -L shows your firewall rules | 05:06 |
| * randomuser` assumes there is a nice ubuntu gui but isnt aware of it | 05:06 | |
| chuck[screen] | randomuser`: haha, sorry... i know how you feel | 05:06 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: Do you understand different filesystems at all? | 05:06 |
| chuck[screen] | yay meta+space is back | 05:06 |
| chuck[screen] | productivity++ | 05:07 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: Like ntfs is for windows and ext is for linux etc.. | 05:07 |
| w00tmars | bobo37774: i was doing the installation onto a partition, it was partially installed on a new partition mounted to / with ext4, then half way through the installation my sister removed the thumb drive so the installation crashed | 05:07 |
| djcobra | randomuser`, command doesn't work | 05:07 |
| randomuser` | djcobra it may require sudo | 05:07 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774, randomuser`, overclucker: thanks for the help | 05:07 |
| w00tmars | so i ran setup again and i chose erase and install ubuntu again option, so i was wondering if it would be installed to the same partition i had chosen earlier. | 05:08 |
| w00tmars | turns out it did | 05:08 |
| djcobra | k | 05:08 |
| w00tmars | =] | 05:08 |
| randomuser` | chuck[screen], np | 05:08 |

| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: i reset | 05:08 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: Do you understand where I was going with the conversation? | 05:08 |
| * chuck[screen] runs irssi through screen always | 05:08 | |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: Oh weak hahaha | 05:08 |
| w00tmars | bobo37774: no, but i thought you did not understand my question ;p | 05:09 |
| chuck[screen] | yeah... | 05:09 |
| bobo37774 | chuck[screen]: irssi here too with mouse.pl script yeah | 05:09 |
| w00tmars | i understand different filesystems | 05:09 |
| randomuser` | djcobra, i suspect your ports are not correctly forwarded, on a hunch | 05:10 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: What I was going to suggest was to fire up gparted and just delete all of the linux partitions and use the new empty space to reinstall. That way you would know for sure. | 05:10 |
| djcobra | randomuser`, i ahve input forward and output policy | 05:10 |
| chuck[screen] | bobo37774: i do not know this mouse.pl... | 05:10 |
| * chuck[screen] investigates | 05:10 | |
| djcobra | all three have policy ACCEPT | 05:10 |
| w00tmars | bobo37774: well i just reinstalled and it worked fine, dual boots perfectly..and went on the right partition =] | 05:10 |
| overclucker | chuck[screen]: xlsclients -al | 05:11 |

| Juv1228 | does anyone know of an alternative to lsb_release that doesnt rely on python to spit out the codename | 05:11 |
| djcobra | i can double check | 05:11 |
| bobo37774 | w00tmars: Cool. Glad it worked out. | 05:11 |
| Juv1228 | i have ~14 pbuilder base tars, and adding python to them all is less than preferable | 05:11 |
| w00tmars | :) | 05:11 |
| overclucker | chuck[screen]: find the window id, looks like 0x1c00001, or whatever then run xkill -frame -id 0x1c00001 | 05:12 |

| Nikku | Hi, does anyone know how to use pLop to install Ubuntu from a USB on a computer that can boot from BIOS or DVD/CD? | 06:31 |
| Nikku | I've followed all available instructions. I've reached a purple splash page that says Ubuntu | 06:31 |
| lotuspsychje | faryshta: i would reccomend vlc | 06:31 |
| Nikku | how would that help to boot the file? | 06:31 |
| Nikku | opps, that wasnt directed at me, sorry | 06:32 |
| faryshta | Hi. How can I sinc subtitles on TOTEM? | 06:32 |
| Nikku | Does anyone know how long it usually takes to boot Ubuntu from a USB? | 06:32 |
| NimeshNeema | depends on h/w | 06:33 |
| Blue1 | Nikku: you can use dd to copy the iso to a usb flash drive | 06:33 |
| NimeshNeema | generally a couple of minutes to 3 | 06:33 |
| aBound | Nikku, Varies on how fast the USB drive is. | 06:33 |
| lotuspsychje | Nikku:what happens after the purple screen? | 06:33 |
| aBound | 2.0 Might be slower than 3.0 | 06:33 |
| Nikku | nothing, it's still purple | 06:33 |
| Nikku | Its been this way for about 45 mins now | 06:33 |
| aBound | Nikku, Reboot. | 06:34 |
| aBound | Shouldn't last that long. | 06:34 |
| Blue1 | Nikku: recipe here: http://pkill-9.com/creating-a-usb-flash-drive-for-a-debian-install/ | 06:34 |
| Nikku | aBound, Ive done that twice | 06:34 |
| aBound | Hmm, could of been a bad ISO. | 06:34 |
| almoxarife | faryshta: i dont think you can, you may need to install something that does, gnome-mplayer is an option | 06:34 |
| silv3r_m00n | I am running an app with gksudo , gksudo /path/app , is it possible to give some parameters to gksudo , so that it remembers the password for sometime and doesn't ask for it again till that time | 06:35 |
| buntu | I need help writing to a new SATA harddrive, formated with gparted fresh out of the box. If anybody knows why I can't write to the drive, please let me know! thanks. | 06:35 |
| aBound | Nikku, Ubuntu is also known to have issues with certain USB flash drives too. | 06:35 |
| Nikku | aBound, I downloaded straight from Ubuntu. Do you recommend restarting the process? | 06:35 |
| Nikku | ah I see. I'll try a different flash | 06:35 |
| Blue1 | buntu: did you mount it? | 06:36 |
| Nikku | it should be formatted as FAT32 correct? | 06:36 |
| buntu | yes | 06:36 |
| aBound | I use a SanDisk flash drive. | 06:36 |
| faryshta | thanks almoxarife | 06:36 |
| aBound | Nikku, Dual-Booting? | 06:36 |
| Flannel | silv3r_m00n: It already does remember the password for a little. I think the default is 15 minutes. | 06:36 |
| aBound | Ubuntu usually formats itself to either ext3 or ext4. | 06:36 |

| ubottu | Package dd does not exist in oneiric | 06:36 |
| w00tmars | Hello, im trying to copy some files to var/www but it does not allow me | 06:36 |
| Blue1 | Nikku: dd will overwrite anything on the existing flash drive | 06:36 |
| w00tmars | what can be the reason, and how should i go about doing this? | 06:36 |
| Nikku | I'm not quite sure what that is, but the Ubuntu start up is the only file on there | 06:36 |
| Blue1 | w00tmars: do you have permission? copying from where? | 06:36 |
| buntu | w00tmars have you you used the command chwn yet? | 06:37 |
| Nikku | I'll try another flash | 06:37 |
| lotuspsychje | buntu: what erro u getting? | 06:37 |
| w00tmars | nope have not used it. | 06:37 |
| w00tmars | this is a new installation | 06:37 |
| aBound | Nikku, ext3 and ext4 are filesystems but FAT32 should be fine for the flash drive. | 06:37 |
| w00tmars | copying from other partition and i cannot create a new folder in file system either | 06:37 |
| fidel | ahoi | 06:38 |

| w00tmars | um can someone help? i need to copy these files over there | 06:38 |

| almoxarife | fidel: sure, install another desktop, use it | 06:38 |
| fidel | even after disabling the thunderbird addon | 06:38 |

| lotuspsychje | buntu: did yiou unmount before formatting? | 06:40 |
| buntu | lotuspsychje, EXT4, good question, I used GParted, so I would assume yes. | 06:41 |
| w00tmars | um doesn't lamp install phpmyadmin? cos i tried going to localhost/phpmyadmin and it does not work weird | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | buntu: could try to make sure drive was unmounted and try ntfs to test maybe | 06:41 |

| fidel | ah - no just thunderbird | 06:43 |
| w00tmars | it asks create directories for web based administration, what should i do buntu | 06:44 |
| fidel | almoxarife: its ok - gonna jump to xfce | 06:44 |
| buntu | w00tmars, what are you trying to do again? | 06:44 |
| aBound | fidel, I would say for you to create a dummy profile for Thunderbird to see if it's not your main profile being affected. | 06:44 |
| w00tmars | buntu: well the directory is now accessible, ive setup LAMP | 06:44 |
| w00tmars | and now i got that window i told you about | 06:44 |
| almoxarife | fidel: you could trying to uninstall tb, purge the confs, and re-install, assuming it works afterwards cool, otherwise it would be wondering what the vm is doing | 06:44 |
| aBound | fidel, http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/profiles?s=full+screen&as=s#w_on-linux-ubuntu | 06:44 |

| buntu | w00tmars, tell me again about the window. I didn't see your msg. | 06:45 |
| w00tmars | buntu: on query? | 06:46 |
| aBound | With Firefox and Thunderbird profiles can be corrupted. | 06:46 |
| illio | lotuspsychje, hmm.. not certain what you mean? | 06:46 |
| mylifeisfine | hai all | 06:46 |
| aBound | Whereas they start to act up. | 06:46 |
| illio | lotuspsychje, oh it's a bios option I didn't know :-).. | 06:47 |
| lotuspsychje | illio: like usb keyboards can be started from BIOS or Operating system, maybe your bluetooth can also? | 06:47 |

| mylifeisfine | i am a bit new to linux.. pls help :) thanks | 06:48 |
| illio | lotuspsychje, hmm yeah.. I don't think it can, but I should probably check more carefully when I get back to that machine (I'm away from it on a laptop atm).. What I've tried up till now is just to enable legacy usb support, which apparently sometimes helps.. | 06:48 |
| illio | lotuspsychje, but obviously didn't in this case ;-) | 06:48 |
| lotuspsychje | illio: its worth a try :p | 06:49 |
| illio | lotuspsychje, do you know anything about possible mouse support in GRUB? I've tried googling like a crazy person, but haven't found anything reliable sadly.. | 06:49 |
| illio | lotuspsychje, yeah.. I'll try to look more carefully into that when I get back.. thanks for the suggestion. | 06:49 |
| lotuspsychje | illio: im not sure grub can be operated by a mouse (if thats what u mean)? | 06:50 |
| mylifeisfine | please help.... | 06:50 |
| mylifeisfine | ^^^^^^ | 06:50 |
| lotuspsychje | !grep | mylifeisfine | 06:50 |
| ubottu | mylifeisfine: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:50 |
| illio | lotuspsychje, yeah that's what I meant.. but no.. probably can't .. I can also see it seems like the only bootloader capable of supporting mice is the new Windows 8 bootloader.. so crap :-P | 06:51 |
| buntu | lotusphyschje, thank you for pointing to pysdm. Worked like a charm. | 06:51 |

| lotuspsychje | buntu: my pleasure mate | 06:51 |
| aBound | HA! How do I go about learning "grep" to begin with? | 06:52 |

| lotuspsychje | cant* | 06:59 |
| MxxC | lotuspsychje: correct | 06:59 |
| lotuspsychje | illio: i would give it a try yes, and maybe autostart usb keyboards by BIOS, not Os | 06:59 |
| illio | lotuspsychje, cool.. I'll try.. thanks | 07:00 |

| learner | hi, my laptop just autoupdated some xorg files, after this i think im noticing video is a litle bit faster now and loooks sharper and my computer is cooler, am i right or im just seeing things??? | 07:10 |
| MxxC | learner: are you complaining when things work better? :) | 07:10 |
| lotuspsychje | MxxC: lol that sounds not to good, did you clean install ocelot or upgreade to? | 07:11 |
| fidel | learner: difficult for us to judge ;) | 07:11 |
| learner | no im not lol XD | 07:11 |
| MxxC | lotuspsychje: 11.04 was upgrade from 10.10, 11.10 was a clean install | 07:11 |
| MxxC | it worked in 10.04 and 10.10 | 07:12 |

| Kimmen | silv3r_m00n: my guess is that when the command runs, it runs as root. root can't open display | 07:13 |
| learner | instead of a question im loooking if someone can confirm the latest xorg update and what did it change or if the chages where relevant... im am noob in all of this :( | 07:15 |
| silv3r_m00n | no the program terminates , in a terminal if I type sudo app , and then while the app is running if I Ctrl+X the terminal then sudo terminates and the app also terminates , but if I do a gksudo app , and do Ctrl+X then gksudo terminates but app continues to run , I guess a similar thing is happening when I try to launch the command from within another app | 07:15 |

| ubottu | silv3r_m00n: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 07:43 |

| Stereocaulon | Kartagis, why don't you use shutter instead? | 09:11 |
| Kartagis | Stereocaulon: shutter? | 09:11 |
| Stereocaulon | Kartagis, it is a terrific screenshot program | 09:11 |
| Kartagis | Stereocaulon: can I have it to be the default? | 09:13 |
| Stereocaulon | Kartagis, of course, it's just another program | 09:13 |
| subb1 | guys anybody up for clearing a small confusion about ati driver selection issue on lucid? | 09:13 |
| Kartagis | Stereocaulon: I mean, Shutter when I hit PrintScreen | 09:14 |
| Stereocaulon | Kartagis, you can probably configure your desktop that way, but I wouldn't know how | 09:15 |
| r0b- | hey anyone here? | 09:15 |
| Stereocaulon | I'm having trouble getting ibus to work, even after a purge delete of both scim and ibus. Afterwards I reinstalled ibus and all neccessary libs and plugins, but the tray-icon won't show up nor can I type any Japanese. | 09:16 |

| r0b- | does ubuntu finally support Linksys WUSB54GC v3 Wifi USB devices? | 09:16 |
| Stereocaulon | r0b, that does not depend on Ubuntu but on the kernel version, just check the Linux hardware compatibility tables for the kernel you use. | 09:17 |
| r0b- | where would i find this? | 09:18 |
| r0b- | google? | 09:18 |

| AVela | i'am having problem in flash player upgrade in firefox i can't load video or play video in facebook but i can watch in youtube. anyone could help me? | 09:19 |
| AVela | my OS is ubuntu 8.04LTS | 09:20 |
| Stereocaulon | AVela, please upgrade, your Flash player included in the 8.04 LTS is *way* too old. | 09:20 |

| AVela | i already try to install a flashplugin-nonfree but its still not work | 09:22 |
| Stereocaulon | AVela, another remedy would be an extension for firefox that should select the latest working Flash module. It's called Flash-Aid | 09:22 |
| AVela | ah.... | 09:22 |
| r0b- | ugh i dislike my USB wifi device | 09:22 |
| r0b- | its hit or miss on ubuntu | 09:22 |
| Stereocaulon | r0b-, complain with Linksys for not being more open on their devices...Try RaLink instead | 09:23 |
| metaspike | r0b-, you'll have more luck with a ralink chipset, they actually have linux drivers. | 09:23 |
| r0b- | i think this uses an RAlink chipset | 09:23 |
| r0b- | but im not sure | 09:23 |
| Stereocaulon | metaspike, ninja'd | 09:23 |
| r0b- | right now i use windows | 09:23 |

| ssfdre38 | Syph3r, http://docs.ssfdre38.com/tutorials/server/ubuntu-apache-web-host | 09:25 |
| Stereocaulon | AVela, you can't it's a Firefox extension. | 09:25 |
| metaspike | AVela, try running firefox from console like this: firefox -safe-mode . to see if something in your home directory is interferring | 09:25 |
| r0b- | well im setting up a ubuntu VM on this laptop | 09:26 |
| r0b- | the laptop is not the PC with the chipset | 09:26 |
| Syph3r | ssfdre38: thanks going to review it up | 09:26 |

| tarelerulz | any one have ntfs partition made by windows 7 ? If so have you copy files over and when you boot into windows they are deleted ? | 09:28 |
| iceroot | tarelerulz: no | 09:29 |
| erfolg | tarelerulz, be sure to use cp and not mv | 09:29 |
| llutz | tarelerulz: make sure to umount the drive cleanly | 09:29 |
| iceroot | tarelerulz: also be sure to use ntfs-3g and not ntfs because ntfs cant write on ntfs | 09:29 |
| metaspike | tarelerulz, no... you might want to chkdisk /f - in windows then - ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/win/ - from ubuntu, for example. | 09:30 |
| metaspike | r0b-, here's a thread for that card in 10.04 using ndiswrapper, for what it's worth. | 09:31 |
| VectorX | hi, while installing ubuntu, it seems like it starts to donwload software, im on a slow connection so this takes a very long time, where are these files saved so i can copy them to the iso ? | 09:32 |
| erfolg | is there any way to change the "Ubuntu Desktop" that shows in the panel with no windows open to something different? | 09:32 |
| metaspike | VectorX, not sure? /var/cache/apt/archives or somewhere under /tmp? | 09:33 |
| Stereocaulon | VectorX, after the install, you can use one of the ISO LiveCD builder programs to burn your own LiveCD. | 09:33 |
| VectorX | Stereocaulon any you recomend with oneiric | 09:34 |
| VectorX | its an alternate cd builder for ltsp | 09:34 |
| Stereocaulon | VectorX, you can try the "Ubuntu Customization Kit" | 09:35 |

| elementz | hi all. | 09:35 |
| r0b- | how do i remove gnome? | 09:35 |
| r0b- | or what ever the desktop stuff is | 09:35 |
| Stereocaulon | VectorX, Yes, that's the one. | 09:35 |
| VectorX | r0b- install kubuntu | 09:35 |
| VectorX | you wont have gnome | 09:36 |
| r0b- | i mean no GUI whatsoever | 09:36 |
| metaspike | :) best question anyone has asked here today. sudo apt-get purge gnome | 09:36 |
| elementz | i have a problem with curl and ssl (in this case ebay). something seems to be off with my ssl certificates: Cannot connect to URL �q: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: | 09:36 |
| elementz | error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed | 09:36 |
| Stereocaulon | r0b-, VectorX, there are actually many alternatives to Gnome, r0b- if you don't want any GUI, try the server version instead | 09:36 |
| metaspike | sudo apt-get purge gnome && sudo apt-get install xdm openbox - so you arent left with out a gui. | 09:37 |
| kephu | hi | 09:37 |
| metaspike | but yeah as Stereocaulon it's better to start with a clean install, i recommend the ubuntu desktop "alternative" installer for simplicities sake. | 09:38 |
| elementz | i have all the libcurl*dev* packages installed. and i tried to install the ca-certs.pem as provided on the curl website. but i still can't use ssl with curl | 09:38 |
| metaspike | elementz, is your clock right? | 09:38 |
| elementz | does anybody have an idea what could be done to resolve this issue? | 09:38 |

| === oimon_ is now known as oimon | ||
| elementz | metaspike: ok i synced the time via ntpdate. problem still exists though | 09:40 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, with the forwarding of X you have created another X-display. In order to run Midori on the remote X-display, you need to specifiy it on calling the program. Just issue export DISPLAY=<the remote X display number> before calling midori. | 09:40 |
| kephu | Stereocaulon, how do I tell which number it should be? | 09:41 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, first of all start an X-term on the remote X-server, from there type echo $DISPLAY | 09:42 |
| kephu | Stereocaulon, it's xming though | 09:42 |
| kephu | says "Xming Server:0.0" on hover, is any of that it? | 09:43 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, that does not really matter here, xming, i merely the X-Client. | 09:43 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, yes, that's it, your remote DISPLAY should be 0.0 | 09:43 |
| kephu | okay, that might be the clue here, upon logging in on the machine I'm getting "localhost:10.0" | 09:44 |
| kephu | when echoing $DISPLAY | 09:44 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, aha!, well try that one then! | 09:44 |
| kephu | Stereocaulon, I... think it didn't work. Shouldn't the midori error give me some port or display number? | 09:46 |
| rawplayer | hi, is there any manual about adding new driver to install cd? | 09:47 |
| AndroUser | haloo | 09:47 |
| winchester | Ciao a tutti | 09:48 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, no, not really, midori doesn't know what Display it's supposed to run on. it assumes that your localhost will be the Display, but your Windows box is not running an X-server, hence the error. | 09:48 |

| Stereocaulon | kephu, but you are connecting to a remote X-server, or the other way around? | 09:50 |
| kephu | Stereocaulon, okay let me double-check if I got my terminology straight, because I remember X was twisted like that. X-server is the one that DISPLAYS things, right? | 09:51 |

| DarsVaeda | hi, how can I find an app in that freaky unity menu -> I know I have it installed but I forgot the name | 09:52 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, in that case your DISPLAY variable should also include the remote IP/ universally resolvable hostname. | 09:53 |
| giuliano | ciao | 09:53 |
| metaspike | winchester, Did you mean: To activate the root account use | 09:53 |
| metaspike | Per utilizzare attivo l'account di root "sudo passwd" o "sudo su" | 09:53 |
| kephu | Stereocaulon, any way I could parametrize that? Wouldn't want to have to set it up every time I connect from another machine or my IP changes | 09:53 |

| metaspike | hasan_tr_15778, it has everything to do with samba | 09:54 |
| metaspike | or just use something else, like ftp | 09:54 |

| kephu | Stereocaulon, okay, how can I find what is my IP from the point of view of the target machine? | 09:56 |
| metaspike | hasan_tr_15778, well, if the standard configuration stuff isnt working, you can edit it manually. gedit /etc/samba.conf | 09:57 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, just ping your remote Ubuntu box from your Windows box, that should give you the correct remote IP | 09:58 |
| Alasia | hello, i have a problem with samba shares. i have mounted a share with 'mount -t smbfs //server/share /destdir/ -o username=user' as root i have full r/w acces to that directory, as user just read-access | 09:58 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, you can put it all on one line, by putting && between it. That way you can easily copy-paste the right line, for instance, if the remote IP of your Ubuntu box would be 92.145.67.18, the command would be as follows: export DISPLAY=92.145.67.18:0 && midori& | 09:58 |
| sherif | hey, how can i decompress a tarball | 09:59 |
| buhman | sherif: tar xf foo.tar | 09:59 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, The last "&" is to prevent midori from hogging your terminal session. | 09:59 |
| r0b- | how do i know where Ubuntu attaches a usb device? | 10:00 |
| kephu | Stereocaulon, waitwaitwait, so shoud I put the IP of the REMOTE BOX, or the win machine? | 10:00 |
| Stereocaulon | r0b-, use lsusb | 10:00 |
| sherif | buhman it says tar xfz tibia944.tg | 10:01 |
| Stereocaulon | kephu, the *remote* IP, after all, you are trying to run midori via the remote X-server, are you not? | 10:01 |
| sherif | buhman n when i do that nothing happens | 10:01 |
| buhman | sherif: what says tar xfz? | 10:01 |
| N1ghtCrawler | Hello, I'm having some problems with a live cd based on ubuntu. I want to remove the feauture that it opens the cd tray on shutdown. I have "extracted" the filesystem.squashfs removed the /etc/init.d/casper and "packed" it to a new filesystem.squashfs. And changed the original file on my usb stick. It still ejects the cd rom :( | 10:01 |
| sherif | buhman cannot open no such file or directory | 10:01 |
| buhman | sherif: I thought you said it was a tar archive | 10:02 |
| kephu | Stereocaulon, okay just to make sure we're on the same page here: I want midori to run on the remote ubuntu box, and display the gui to local win box, right? | 10:02 |
| buhman | sherif: what is "tibia944.tg" | 10:02 |
| sherif | buhman its a game | 10:02 |
| buhman | sherif: I don't care | 10:02 |
| sherif | buhman its tgz | 10:02 |
| buhman | sherif: what kind of file is it | 10:02 |
| sherif | buhman not tg | 10:02 |

| norbert79 | sherif: You might want to check what the tg fie is. Use "file <name.tg>" | 10:04 |
| buhman | prashant_123456: yes | 10:04 |
| overclucker | prashant_123456: vim is an improved vi | 10:04 |
| sherif | norbert79 ok | 10:04 |
| mraxilus | prashant_123456: yes what he said | 10:04 |
| metaspike | Alasia, i suppose this might work - sudo mount -t smbfs -o umask=000 | 10:04 |
| llutz | sherif: cd into the dir holding the tgz, "tar xzf tibia944.tgz" | 10:04 |
| norbert79 | sherif: If it replies data, then you need to do a manual check/lookup on the file. It also depends on what kind of application is using such a file, because it might be depending on the application | 10:05 |
| mraxilus | VIiMproved | 10:05 |

| sherif | norbert79 now im lost sorry im just new to ubuntu | 10:07 |
| prashant_123456 | norbert79, ok thaks | 10:07 |
| ikonia | winnie666: I wouldn't run that sort of thing from usb | 10:07 |
| norbert79 | sherif: Do the following : Go into the directory where you have that TG file there, and execute the following "file something.tg" | 10:07 |
| sherif | norbert it's tgz not tg | 10:08 |
| r0b- | im lost here :( | 10:08 |
| ikonia | winnie666: also look at the ram/ram requirements for the device you are running a media center on | 10:08 |
| norbert79 | sherif: Good, but you might want to still do a 'file something.tgz' to see if it's indeed a gzipped TAR file | 10:08 |
| winnie666 | ikonia, it's got 2GB of RAM, well i did, and it's too late to change since i've butchered that laptop and can't get to the BIOS any more :) | 10:09 |
| sherif | norbert79 its a folder | 10:09 |
| ikonia | winnie666: 2GB of ram should be ample for running a standard ubuntu install to act as a media server | 10:09 |
| winnie666 | so to go back to my question, running off a USB stick, which is faster, native install or a live usb? | 10:09 |
| mraxilus | I would like to map gwibber's 'update post' menu item to a shortcut key-combination (something like Ctrl+Alt+G). | 10:09 |

| popey | or4n9e: interesting, i think you can set a default pin can't you? | 10:13 |
| or4n9e | popey: I read about /etc/bluetooth/pin with /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf but none of these exist in ubuntu 11.10 | 10:13 |

| winnie666 | matespike, if you were to guess, aproximately how much ram whould i need for a 1GB iso? | 10:16 |
| aLearner | ikonia: I'm doing it via command-line -- is that bad? | 10:16 |
| llutz | && means: only run the following command, if the previous was successful | 10:17 |
| aLearner | llutz: Cool. Thank you. What's the '~' for? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | aLearner: is there a reason you just don't use the gui ? | 10:17 |
| llutz | aLearner: ~ ==$HOME | 10:17 |
| Stereocaulon | aLearner, it stands for your homedir | 10:17 |
| aLearner | ikonia: No, nothing like. Just trying to learn. :-) | 10:17 |
| metaspike | winnie666, it depends on so much, maybe 1024, maybe more- best way to find out is just to test it. | 10:18 |
| ikonia | aLearner: just download the deb, install the deb, job done | 10:18 |
| overclucker | aLearner: it makes the following command conditionally reliant on the first command exiting succsessfully | 10:18 |
| Stereocaulon | aLearner, look up the Bash tutorials on tldp.org, they are quite good and I think you will enjoy them | 10:18 |
| aLearner | llutz and Stereocaulon: Thank you for the explanation. | 10:18 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: Got it. | 10:18 |
| aLearner | ikonia: Just trying to learn. Have never combined commands like that before. | 10:19 |
| Stereocaulon | aLearner, np, http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/ | 10:19 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: Thank you | 10:19 |
| aLearner | overclucker: Thank you. | 10:19 |
| or4n9e | popey: as it seems bluez people really screwed up (especially without any documentation) ... hcid.conf isn't even existent in ubuntu | 10:19 |
| metaspike | aLearner, everybody is telling in what to do so im joining in, go to www.commandlinefu.com and also have a look a the previous link, definately | 10:19 |
| Stereocaulon | aLearner, np :-) Enjoy bash, but be mindful of spaces and quotation marks. They will soon let you tear your hairs out ;-) | 10:20 |
| aLearner | metaspike: Thanks! | 10:20 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: Have used it before. But only to get around. Have never done anything fancy. | 10:20 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: Have bookmarked that page, though. | 10:20 |
| overclucker | aLearner: I second commandlinefu, you will learn a lot of neat trick on that site | 10:20 |
| Stereocaulon | metaspike, Ah commandlinfu.com, I didn't know one yet. Bookmarked. | 10:21 |
| aLearner | OK now that I have it downloaded. Where did it go? :-) | 10:21 |
| metaspike | ~/Downloads?? | 10:22 |
| aLearner | metaspike: Nah. Looked there. | 10:23 |
| llutz | aLearner: check the links provided, get some basic knowledge before you proceed | 10:23 |
| Stereocaulon | aLearner, if you have downloaded something through wget it will be in the same directory as you issued the command from, unless you specifically told it to save it in another place. | 10:23 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: Cool. Thank you for the information. When I do an 'ls -l' I don't see it, though. That's why I asked. | 10:24 |
| aLearner | llutz: I'm just trying to understand how to install using the command-line in detail. That's all. | 10:24 |
| overclucker | aLearner: did you run that command you posted? | 10:24 |
| Stereocaulon | aLearner, tap the [up] key a few times, it should show you what you have typed previously, thus you will know where you downloaded something, [up arrow] browses back in the bash history | 10:25 |
| llutz | aLearner: better to understand why that isn't a good idea in most cases :) | 10:25 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: Yes, familiar with tapping the 'up' key. | 10:25 |
| aLearner | llutz: I beg your pardon? :-) | 10:26 |
| metaspike | aLearner, install packages? | 10:26 |
| metaspike | install--------------------- bah forget it | 10:26 |
| Stereocaulon | aLearner, that last reaction from metaspike was a rtfm, without the "f". | 10:28 |
| aLearner | metaspike: Got it. | 10:28 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: Got it ;-) | 10:28 |
| aLearner | Thanks for all your help. I learned something -- and installed Dropbox via commandline! :-) | 10:28 |
| metaspike | yep. open a console and type 'man man' | 10:29 |
| justin______ | hi guys. i hope u can help point me in the right direction. when i activate the nvidia proprietary driver, i go to load ubuntu 3D games, and it just doesn't load at all | 10:29 |
| Stereocaulon | aLearner, enjoy the power and richness of bash. Though sometimes, it will make you curse... ;-) | 10:29 |
| justin______ | how can i overcome this.... i would even just be happy with a google search terms to work with | 10:29 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: It has many times...Time to get better at it. | 10:29 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: Really appreciate your support! | 10:29 |
| lukasz_ | echo | 10:29 |
| metaspike | justin______, how did you install the drivers. | 10:30 |
| r0b- | anyone ever use zoneminder? | 10:30 |
| justin______ | metaspike, i went to the gui 'additional drivers' program and activated the recommended driver | 10:30 |
| xcom169 | Hello All! | 10:31 |
| metaspike | and reset? | 10:31 |
| Stereocaulon | aLearner, well, that's the spirit! Just browse the general tutorials and if you hit a snag with bash, remember there is also #bash, but only after you have searched thoroughly for the answer... | 10:31 |
| saganbyte | Can anybody please help me with setting up wireless on a ubuntu server 10.04 (when i ping the gateway at 192.168.1.1, it gives me Destination Host UNreachable) | 10:31 |
| xcom169 | Could anyone help me in install Java on ubuntu 11.10? I do not have /usr/bin/java | 10:32 |
| Stereocaulon | justin______, just log off and log on again, then the driver should be active. | 10:32 |
| aLearner | Stereocaulon: Right. Thanks again. | 10:32 |
| justin______ | Stereocaulon, i've tried that countless times | 10:33 |
| justin______ | even with my computer science degree i cant figure it out:( | 10:33 |
| Two__Dogs | justin______: share your xorg.0.log | 10:35 |
| justin______ | sure | 10:35 |

| metaspike | there is openjdk* | 10:36 |

| saganbyte | how can i check if i have wireless-tools installed in my ubuntu server installation? | 10:38 |
| metaspike | dpkg-query -l | grep wireless-tools | 10:38 |
| xcom169 | metaspike, thanks. I think i have a problem with a environment path because I do not have /usr/bin/java | 10:38 |
| xcom169 | metaspike, I tried reinstall but it did not help | 10:39 |
| metaspike | xcom169, do you have default-jre installed? it should handle that for you. | 10:39 |
| Two__Dogs | metaspike: how about adding the nick to your convo, thnks | 10:39 |
| metaspike | Two__Dogs, ok Two__Dogs | 10:39 |
| xcom169 | metaspike, Yes I tried, how can I force apt-get to create this file again for me? | 10:39 |
| justin______ | Stereocaulon, Two__Dogs, http://pastebin.com/7JQdnRsj | 10:40 |
| xcom169 | metaspike, Or should I restart my machine? | 10:40 |
| metaspike | xcom169, what about. sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre -or- sudo apt-get openjdk-6-jre. | 10:40 |
| zagibu | xcom169: haha, no, this is usually useless in linux | 10:40 |
| metaspike | yup | 10:40 |

| adcqc | thx | 10:41 |
| metaspike | xcom169, unless it deals with the kernel, a reboot is always superfluous | 10:41 |
| zagibu | xcom169: you could also add the link in /usr/bin/java by hand, or add the java directory to the path | 10:42 |
| * bz_ bonjour tout le monde | 10:42 | |
| xcom169 | metaspike, I have both of javas(6,7) in /usr/lib/jvm | 10:42 |

Why do I obtain: " **ERROR** RRD: Disabled - unable to create base directory (err 13, /var/lib/ntop/rrd)"? | 10:44 |
| justin______ | Two__Dogs, technically yes, its the cpu 128mb of shared video card. and then the 1GB nvidia card | 10:45 |
| justin______ | a dedicated card and a shared card | 10:45 |
| Two__Dogs | justin______: does your bios allow you to chose the card/graphics to use? | 10:46 |
| justin______ | macintosh is the same way to conserve power when necessary, i here | 10:46 |
| justin______ | hear | 10:46 |
| justin______ | i have looked on the bios but been unable to find | 10:46 |
| Two__Dogs | justin______: looks to me like your intel graphics is the default, did you install nvidia-current? | 10:50 |
| jmscomtech | does virtual box work in 64bit? | 10:50 |
| Two__Dogs | jmscomtech: yes | 10:50 |
| jmscomtech | good cause i need to use m$ office for tech | 10:51 |
| jmscomtech | so easiest way to do it is to install vbox | 10:51 |
| Two__Dogs | jmscomtech: yes | 10:52 |
| justin______ | Two__Dogs, yeah its the newest version apparently. ill go looking around in bios some more, so cheers for ur time. ill let u know how it does! | 10:52 |
| justin______ | cheers! | 10:52 |
| metaspike | jmscomtech, office 2007 runs well under wine, but if you really cant use libreoffice, eh. | 10:52 |
| overclucker | bullgard6: have you googled the error code? | 10:52 |
| openbees | my touchpad not working in 11.10 | 10:52 |

| or4n9e | popey: haven't really checked HOW but I THINK this directory could be a good place to start testing. as it seems bluez 4.x got rid of plaintext PINs in conf-files and instead does anything through dbus-foo and stores encrypted keys | 10:57 |
| overclucker | Whisky: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 10:57 |
| metaspike | bullgard4, you shouldn't have to. i would actually suggest changing ntops configuration specifically (man ntop find the config, probably /etc/ntop.conf or such). http://krudas.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/ntop-on-ubuntu/ | 10:57 |
| or4n9e | popey: I'm far from having the solution but I thought I provide this info as a follow-up | 10:57 |

| daschel | Can anyone help me disable alt+click from moving windows? I've tried CCSM and it looks like it disabled the binding, but no effects take place. When CCSM is restarted the old settings are back. I also tried gconftool(i may have been using gconf incorrectly though) with results similar to CCSM. I'm running gnome3 on 11.10 | 11:15 |

When CCSM is restarted the old settings are back. I also tried gconftool(i may have been using gconf incorrectly though) with results similar to CCSM. I'm running gnome3 on 11.10 | 11:20 |
| === max is now known as Guest36559 | ||
| Kartagis | I don't want to go over the edge | 11:20 |
| metaspike | daschel, tried google yet? http://askubuntu.com/questions/80623/how-to-disable-altclick-from-moving-windows - or using gconf-editor directly. hmm | 11:21 |
| daschel | yes | 11:21 |
| aLearner | I get the following error after I installed the latest version of Google Chrome --> no plug-in available to display this content. I've been looking on the web for a solution, I'm on Oneiric. :-/ | 11:21 |
| aLearner | Could anyone help me out, please? | 11:22 |
| bullgard6 | daschel: What is your aim? "disable alt+click from moving windows"? What is that? Say it in other words, please. | 11:22 |
| al-tabq | can someone help me quickly with sed? i want to remove 15 folders in the same directory from foo_xyz to xyz (i.e. remove the constant string foo_) ... | 11:22 |
| daschel | metaspike, yes. I tried that already with no results. | 11:23 |
| Myrtti | al-tabq: try rename? | 11:23 |
| al-tabq | *remove = rename | 11:23 |
| metaspike | Kartagis, git checkout <url> <path> or such. or use gpe-screenshot :) | 11:23 |
| daschel | bullgard, I want to remove the alt+[mouse left click] binding | 11:23 |
| al-tabq | Myrtti yes^^ | 11:23 |
| jrib | al-tabq: "rename" is a command that you can use | 11:25 |
| Kartagis | metaspike: I know I can do that, but can it be integrated into ubuntu later? | 11:25 |
| aLearner | Has anyone on here installed Google Chrome successfully so that the 'no plugin available to display this content' error is no longer there? | 11:25 |
| jrib | aLearner: please just ask your actual question instead of polling | 11:26 |
| aLearner | jrib: I did ^^ | 11:26 |
| al-tabq | jrib do you know | 11:26 |
| al-tabq | jrib i'l have a look at that thx | 11:26 |
| jrib | al-tabq: yes you did earlier, and now you didn't | 11:26 |
| metaspike | Kartagis, not a clue? that would depend on whether it's implementation has changed with the rest of the project | 11:26 |
| jrib | al-tabq: you can type "man rename" for the man page. It has some examples. If you're not sure what to do after reading it, just ask me for more details | 11:26 |
| al-tabq | jrib will do, thx | 11:27 |
| aLearner | jrib: I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the 'no plugin available to display this content' on Google Chrome. | 11:27 |
| jrib | aLearner: you should say what content it is that you are trying to display | 11:27 |
| aLearner | jrib: I'm not sure, actually. I'm on Google Analytics and the dashboard doesn't show up. Could it be flash? I'm on 11.10 on a 64-bit machine. | 11:28 |
| overclucker | Kartagis: git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-screenshot | 11:28 |
| jrib | aLearner: see if http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ works | 11:28 |
| aLearner | jrib: Looking. Thank you! | 11:29 |
| bullgard6 | daschel: I do not know any solution, sorry. | 11:29 |

| mo_bledhoz | ok | 11:34 |
| aLearner | jrib: I went here --> http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and selected 'APT for Ubuntu 10.04+' but it doesn't seem to do anything once the 'Software Center' loads... | 11:34 |
| jrib | !flash | aLearner | 11:34 |
| ubottu | aLearner: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 11:34 |
| aLearner | jrib: Thank you. Looking... | 11:34 |
| MonkeyDust | !ask| vip_ | 11:36 |
| ubottu | vip_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 11:36 |
| daschel | I'm getting fed up with ubuntu support. I've only had 5 problems/questions over the last two years that I've had to post to support forums or irc channels. It seems that anything not quickly solvable by searching google gets ignored. A simple, "I'm stumped" would suffice, but when I say I've tried their solution already or that it didn't work, I'm met by silence. It's unprofessional and off putting. | 11:37 |
| _skpl | suck a dick, | 11:38 |
| MonkeyDust | daschel: if it were simple, you wouldnt be here | 11:38 |
| aLearner | jrib: When I click on 'Software Center' it appears as just a white page. :-/ Could a reboot help? | 11:38 |
| norbert79 | _skpl: That's also very unprofessional too, and offending. Enjoy your ban soon :) | 11:38 |
| jrib | aLearner: I don't know about software center | 11:38 |
| aLearner | jrib: but then how do I install flash without the software center? :-? | 11:39 |
| aLearner | jrib: From the link you gave me ---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash | 11:39 |
| jrib | daschel: well keep in mind the support here and in the forums is just users like trying to help one another. And on irc, if you don't get an answer, that means no one knows | 11:39 |
| jrib | daschel: like you* | 11:39 |
| jrib | aLearner: you can use apt-get | 11:39 |
| knightsamar | does anyone know where are the network interfaces defined in ubuntu 12.04 ? it's not in /etc/network/interfaces | 11:40 |
| daschel | MonkeyDust, I wasn't saying that the solution should be simple. I was saying a simple response of "I don't know. I'm working on it." or "I'm stumped" would be appreciated | 11:40 |
| aLearner | jrib: How do I do that? Am not sure of the command. sudo apt-get ??? | 11:40 |
| daschel | jrib, fair enough. Just needed to vent some frustrations. | 11:40 |
| metaspike | aw al-tabq has left :( | 11:40 |
| jrib | daschel: yeah, I understand sometimes it is frustrating to not get feedback on irc with so many users, but it's really not feasible to have everyone answer "I don't know" to a question if they don't know. In any case, what's your question/issue? :) | 11:41 |
| jrib | aLearner: what ubuntu version are you on? | 11:41 |
| aLearner | jrib: I'm on 11.10 and on a 64-bit machine. | 11:42 |
| jrib | aLearner: install the "flashplugin-installer" package | 11:42 |
| MonkeyDust | daschel: there's 1000+ users here, should we all say 'i dont know'? | 11:42 |
| daschel | I guess this means I should start contributing to development. | 11:42 |
| aLearner | jrib: So the commad would be: sudo apt-get flashplugin-installer | 11:42 |
| jrib | aLearner: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-install | 11:43 |
| jrib | aLearner: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 11:43 |
| metaspike | daschel, what was the question again? :p | 11:43 |
| aLearner | jrib: Oh cool. Thank you so much for your help. Let me try that. | 11:43 |
| daschel | Monkeydust, no, but when someone has engaged me with trying to find a solution and I say it didn't work, then stops responding, an "i don't know" is expected | 11:43 |
| daschel | jrib, I'm trying to remove the key bindings from alt+[left click]. I've tried CCSM and gconftool, but neither have worked. | 11:44 |
| jrib | daschel: what does it currently do? | 11:44 |
| daschel | moves the current window. I'm running gnome 3 on 11.10 | 11:44 |
| aLearner | jrib: How did you figure out the file name? :-) | 11:45 |
| jrib | aLearner: the package name was in the wiki paged about flash that ubottu mentioned | 11:45 |
| Ronis_BR | hi all, is anyone using a core i5-2450M? | 11:45 |
| jrib | daschel: you're using unity? | 11:46 |
| aLearner | jrib: Oh I see - I must've missed that. Let me scroll back up. | 11:46 |
| aLearner | jrib: Thank you. | 11:46 |
| jrib | aLearner: no problem | 11:46 |
| daschel | jrib, gnome3 | 11:46 |
| jrib | daschel: gnome-shell? | 11:47 |
| jrib | daschel: with mutter as window manager? | 11:47 |
| daschel | yes, gnome-shell. not sure about mutter. let me check | 11:48 |
| aLearner | This is a volunteer-supported channel - right? | 11:49 |
| jrib | aLearner: yes | 11:49 |
| daschel | no mutter | 11:49 |
| aLearner | jrib: That is wonderful. | 11:49 |
| kaddi | hi, anybody know how to install amazon mp3 downloader on a current ubuntu install? They only have a version for 8.10, which obviously breaks when you try to install it on 11.10 | 11:49 |
| metaspike | daschel, assuming you've restarted gnome after using gconf as perscripted. im beginning to think it may be xorg centric. i mean, left+alt click effects every single window manager that has windows. | 11:49 |
| jrib | daschel: hmm, so what window manager? | 11:50 |
| jrib | daschel: according to wikipedia gnome-shell uses mutter as the window manager but I've never used gnome-shell | 11:50 |
| aLearner | kick bot | 11:50 |
| aLearner | jrib: ubottu is the bot - right? | 11:51 |
| jrib | aLearner: yes | 11:51 |
| aLearner | jrib: Cool. How do you make it wake up? | 11:51 |
| jrib | ubottu: tell aLearner about yourself | 11:51 |
| ubottu | aLearner, please see my private message | 11:51 |
| MonkeyDust | yes, ubottu is a (ro)bot | 11:51 |
| aLearner | jrib: Haha! :-) | 11:51 |
| daschel | metaspike, that would make sense. I've recently tampered with some xorg stuff. I've rebooted since I did the gconf but there are some xorg related updates in the update manager that I haven't installed. I'm going to install them and reboot. | 11:51 |
| aLearner | jrib: That's awesome! | 11:52 |
| metaspike | back in my day if we had a problem with a key we would just jam a knife under it pop the sucka out | 11:52 |
| jrib | daschel: alt-left-click doesn't affect windows for me; I do think it's a window manager feature | 11:52 |
| aLearner | MonkeyDust: Cool. Thanks for telling me. | 11:52 |
| aLearner | jrib: Once the download of flash stops will it do the installing by itself? | 11:53 |
| jrib | aLearner: it should, yes | 11:53 |
| aLearner | jrib: Interesting - can any app be installed this way? | 11:53 |
| metaspike | caps-lock not working? jam a fork between shift and-enter | 11:53 |
| jrib | !software | aLearner | 11:53 |
| ubottu | aLearner: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 11:53 |
| daschel | jrib, I misunderstood you. I was thinking 'file manager' instead of windows manager. if mutter is the default windows manager, then that's what I'm using. I know I haven't changed anything in that regard | 11:54 |
| aLearner | jrib: Wow! Thank you. REading | 11:54 |
| jrib | aLearner: yes, you should install all (ok, most) of your applications using the repositories, either through apt-get or software center | 11:54 |
| jrib | daschel: ok, well in that case we need to figure out how to configure mutter :P | 11:54 |
| ntat | dzięki... | 11:54 |
| MonkeyDust | !info mutter | 11:54 |
| aLearner | jrib: I've used Software Center before. But it was not responsive today. It just gave me a white screen and nothing happened. Strange. | 11:54 |
| ubottu | mutter (source: mutter): lightweight GTK+ window manager. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.2.1-0ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 36 kB, installed size 392 kB | 11:54 |

| bullgard6 | '~$ sudo ntop &; [1] 4418'. How to terminate this program? '~$ sudo kill 4418' did not work. | 11:56 |
| daschel | jrib, thanks. I'm going to install the Xorg software updates and restart in case metaspike is right. If not I'll do some digging around on mutter, and let you help others. I should be able to take it from here. I just needed a starting point. Thanks for your help | 11:57 |

| margos | hi | 11:57 |
| aLearner | margos: Hello to you. | 11:58 |
| margos | There is this application , mobile browser, which won't start, I want to know how to get it working or at the least uninstall it and make room for other applications | 11:59 |
| vip_ | can someone help me please with sun java? | 12:00 |
| aLearner | vip_: What's your question? | 12:00 |
| margos | It's Web browser* | 12:00 |
| aLearner | margos: What's the name of the browser? | 12:00 |
| margos | Web browser | 12:00 |
| MonkeyDust | vip_ you may need open-jdk, not sun-jdk | 12:00 |
| vip_ | how to completly uninstall java sun as my not working | 12:01 |
| vip_ | open java not work for me at all | 12:01 |
| metaspike | vip_, depends how you installed it. if it was from a .bin . ./sun-javainstaller.bin --help might yeld some results | 12:01 |
| aLearner | Big thank you to the entire room. Thanks to you, I was able to install flash. :-) | 12:02 |
| LjL | margos: err, the name of your browser can't be "Web browser". you need to find out the actual name. | 12:02 |
| daschel | jrib, good news and badnews. alt-left no longer moves windows but now my wacom tablet isn't recognized :) | 12:02 |
| aLearner | margos: Could it be Chrome? Or Firefox perhaps? | 12:02 |
| vip_ | why when I install java never see screen with licence??? | 12:02 |
| metaspike | vip_, bottom line is sun is not supported presently officially, and you will need to do some links to get it to work or see if it has a working deb builder, i guess you could direct your questions to #java or ask Groogle | 12:03 |
| vip_ | I just was on #java they say they cant help me | 12:04 |
| daschel | metaspike, you were right. It must have been an xorg problem. I installed the updates, rebooted, and it works now. thanks | 12:04 |
| margos | LjL: Dont know , I had it installed couple of weeks back, but it never worked. Tell me if there's any way to find out its name. | 12:04 |
| bullgard6 | '~$ sudo ntop &; [1] 4418'. How to terminate this program? '~$ sudo kill 4418' did not work. | 12:04 |
| hyppias | installing the latest ubuntu, it cannot find the mysql 5.1 package. How come? | 12:05 |
| damo22 | anyone keen to help me test a small networking example i can provide the source code? | 12:05 |
| metaspike | vip_, this is what Groogle has to say: http://www.clickonf5.org/7777/how-install-sun-java-ubuntu-1004-lts/ | 12:05 |
| hyppias | ubuntu server, that is | 12:05 |
| renato | hello! | 12:06 |
| LjL | margos: does it start at all? can you reach the Help / About menu? | 12:06 |
| bullgard6 | !latest | hypsias | 12:06 |
| ubottu | hypsias: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 12:06 |
| LjL | hyppias: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:06 |
| LjL | bullgard6: MySQL 5.1 is in Oneiric | 12:06 |
| metaspike | hyppias, apt-cache search mysql - for some options. | 12:06 |
| vip_ | I install this sucessfully but java plugin is to old and is blocked | 12:07 |
| hyppias | can I change someting on the installation, so it will find the right one? | 12:07 |
| aLearner | So, downloaded the following tarball ---> http://www.workrave.org/download/ -- and then after reading the README I typed in --> ./configure; make; make install | 12:07 |
| aLearner | but I got this error ---> configure: error: X11 required on Unix platform -- What gives? | 12:07 |
| LjL | aLearner: why are you installing workrave from source? | 12:08 |
| metaspike | vip_, you can install it directly from the source, sun's website. but no guarantees it'll work | 12:08 |
| margos | LjL: no , all i see is a button on the taskbar, written "starting web browser", and then it disappears without any traces of warning. | 12:08 |
| aLearner | LjL: Not sure how to install it... :-/ | 12:08 |
| LjL | hyppias: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please? | 12:08 |
| MonkeyDust | hyppias start from the beginning, what do you want to do and what have you tried before you came here for advice? | 12:08 |
| LjL | aLearner: use Software Center, or type "sudo apt-get install workrave" in a terminal. | 12:08 |
| LjL | !software > aLearner | 12:08 |
| ubottu | aLearner, please see my private message | 12:08 |
| hyppias | LjL: i check | 12:08 |
| aLearner | LjL: Software Center has been freezing up on me today. :-/ | 12:09 |
| aLearner | LjL: Thank you | 12:09 |
| LjL | aLearner: then use apt-get | 12:09 |
| metaspike | aLearner, it requires libx11-dev etc, etc. welcome to dependency hell | 12:09 |
| vip_ | I did that but I never see licence screen | 12:09 |
| aLearner | metaspike: Dependency hell? :-? | 12:09 |
| LjL | aLearner: remember, Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available in its repositories, you rarely need to install stuff manually (and you should think twice before doing it) | 12:09 |
| metaspike | vip_, it doesn't concern #ubuntu anymore. in someways, im thankful. | 12:09 |
| LjL | margos: are you using Unity? | 12:10 |
| margos | LjL: its Hardy | 12:10 |
| Machtin | Hey there. I tried to encrypt /tmp with cryptsetup and luks.. after I reboot 'mount' says, that /dev/mapper/tmp is mountet on /tmp, but it is not (I can tell by the space left on the device of /tmp). I can mount it though via a manual mount-command. Which means after booting /dev/by-id/<temp-partition> is luksopened, I guess. | 12:10 |
| LjL | margos: oh, ugh, that's old. you should upgrade, as it's unsupported now. but at least, you should be able to check what program it is: right click on the "Web browser" menu entry, and you should be able to reach some properties that tell you what it is. | 12:11 |
| Machtin | so what might I have done wrong? the fstab entry is: /dev/mapper/tmp /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 | 12:11 |
| aLearner | LjL: I get the following error with sudo apt --> Package workrave is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source | 12:11 |
| LjL | !info workrave | 12:11 |
| ubottu | Package workrave does not exist in oneiric | 12:11 |
| LjL | aLearner: oh, are you on Oneiric? apparently that specific package is not available in Oneiric, although it's available in other versions :\ | 12:12 |
| aLearner | LjL: OK...So does that mean I can't get it? I'm on Oneiric, yes. | 12:12 |
| === Shellz is now known as Shellzinho | ||
| aLearner | LjL: Also, why is the Software Center screen white. Should I try to reboot? It's just not working. | 12:12 |
| === enchilado is now known as enchilado_______ | ||
| LjL | aLearner: you can get it, it's in the backports, but you must enable the backports. no idea about Software Center, i never use it... | 12:13 |
| aLearner | LjL: I'll read up what backports are -- since I have no idea. | 12:13 |
| willis | !backports | 12:14 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 12:14 |
| === willis is now known as dr_willis | ||
| Jordan_U | Machtin: What does /proc/mounts say? | 12:14 |
| LjL | aLearner: if you edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file (gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list), you should see some lines mentioning "backports", but they will be commented out (they will have a # at the beginning). remove the #, and save the file. | 12:14 |
| LjL | aLearner: then do "sudo apt-get update", then try installing workrave again. | 12:14 |
| zul0 | Anyone know any software to make anonimize my navigation? | 12:14 |
| aLearner | LjL: Cool beans. Backporting means some kind of test phase, I guess. | 12:14 |
| dr_willis | zul0: tor, or various vpn/proxies | 12:14 |
| LjL | !tor | zul0 | 12:14 |
| ubottu | zul0: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 12:14 |
| aLearner | LjL: Thanks for all your help. | 12:15 |
| aLearner | LjL: Really appreciate it. | 12:15 |
| Machtin | Jordan_U: /dev/mapper/tmp /tmp tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0 | 12:15 |
| LjL | aLearner: no it's not a test. thing is, normally in a given version of Ubuntu you don't get updated packages (only for security bugs, and other serious bugs). so Backports are packages from the *next* version of Ubuntu, "backported" into the current version. | 12:15 |
| toonc | hello | 12:15 |
| zul0 | thanks dr_willis, LjL nd ubottu ! ill read about that! | 12:15 |
| metaspike | Machtin, you will also need to add it to /etc/crypttab prehaps. | 12:15 |
| aLearner | LjL: Oh OK. But I thought Oneiric was the current version - right? | 12:16 |
| toonc | I hope somebody can help me with mx onboard sound card | 12:16 |
| aLearner | LjL: Why would something be backported to it? | 12:16 |
| margos | LjL: its midbrowser, but still it wont start spits some error "Couldn't find compatible GRE between 1.9.0.1 and 1.9.0.1" | 12:16 |
| Jordan_U | Machtin: Then that's what's mounted to /tmp/. Have you already mounted this manually? | 12:16 |
| Machtin | metaspike: it is in crypttab | 12:16 |
| toonc | maybe it is broken | 12:16 |
| toonc | but maybe not well configured | 12:16 |
| zul0 | !tor-sasl | 12:16 |
| ubottu | freenode blocks connections from Tor users on its regular servers. Users registered with nickserv can connect to freenode's Tor hidden service instead; see http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor for instructions. For help, ask in #freenode. | 12:16 |
| Machtin | Jordan_U: no.. and it is not. | 12:16 |
| LjL | aLearner: well, the next version (Precise) is already in the works | 12:16 |
| aLearner | LjL: I see...But it's not available in the current version - right? | 12:17 |
| LjL | aLearner: it's available in Precise, it's not available in Oneiric, so it has been "backported" to Oneiric, and you can have it in Oneiric if you enable Backports. | 12:17 |
| aLearner | LjL: OK. Thank you for your help. | 12:17 |
| LjL | margos: uhm, i think midbrowser was an aborted project, not too sure... you're probably best just removing it, "sudo apt-get remove midbrowser" | 12:18 |
| LjL | !info midbrowser | 12:18 |
| aLearner | LjL: I'm going to have to reboot. | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Package midbrowser does not exist in oneiric | 12:18 |
| aLearner | LjL: Thanks again. | 12:18 |
| mower | !info midbrowser | 12:18 |
| margos | thanks LjL | 12:18 |
| trapni | how do I add a secondary ipaddr/subnet to an interface in /etc/network/interfaces? | 12:18 |
| LjL | margos: actual package name might not be midbrowser actually, so try doing "dpkg -S midbrowser" to find out which package it is | 12:18 |
| toonc | with puvucontrol it seems it should work but no sound | 12:18 |
| toonc | pavucontrol | 12:19 |
| damo22 | a secondary ipaddr to the same interface?? | 12:19 |
| woozly | guys! hello! How to login into Ubuntu Classic? (not Unity) | 12:19 |
| Jordan_U | Machtin: Can you pastebin the commands and output that make you believe that /proc/mounts is wrong? | 12:19 |
| woozly | sudo apt-get install <gnome??> | 12:19 |
| iceroot | !nounity | woozly | 12:20 |
| ubottu | woozly: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:20 |
| Machtin | Jordan_U: after I mount it manually (mount /dev/mapper/tmp /tmp) the directory listing changes.. and the size of the partition changes | 12:20 |
| margos | tonnes of output LjL , what to do next? or should I remove it as you suggested earlier? | 12:20 |
| LjL | margos: wait, let me see. | 12:21 |

| red | User foo is in the group foo and bar, user bar is in the group bar and foo, folder is owned by foo, yet user bar cannot modify files in that folder | 12:25 |
| red | What am I missing? | 12:25 |
| red | (even tho he is a part of the group owning that folder) | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | VectorX: i tend to use vnc. but i dont share the 'current visible' desktop. i use lighter desktops for vnc also.. but you COULD also use ssh/xming to forward x apps to the windows box.. it all depends on what you are doing. | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | VectorX: freenx is a faster alterntive to vnc also. | 12:26 |
| VectorX | k ty, ill check those out | 12:26 |
| LjL | red: assume the group *has* write permissions to that folder? ls -l foldername to know | 12:26 |
| Jordan_U | Machtin: I see you're problem. You don't understand what "tmpfs" is. A tmpfs has no device associated with it, you could replace /dev/mapper/tmp with anything and it would not thange the mount. If you manually specified "-t tmpfs" in your mount command you'd get the same result. | 12:27 |
| red | LjL: http://pastie.org/private/rl0ecsjrmcbicmtunxhrea | 12:27 |
| red | there's the outputs | 12:27 |
| Machtin | Jordan_U: I don't get it.. sorry :( | 12:28 |
| red | the same setup did work under centos | 12:28 |
| red | but for ubuntu, no | 12:28 |
| Jordan_U | Machtin: Replace "tmpfs" with whatever the filesystem actually is for /dev/mapper/tmp. Probably "ext4". | 12:28 |
| LjL | red: "office" doesn't have write permission to the folder. "chmod g+w foldername" to add it. | 12:28 |
| Machtin | ah, fair enough. | 12:28 |
| Jordan_U | Machtin: While this is a gross oversimplification, think of tmpfs as being a RAM filesystem that just grabs a chunk of memory and uses it. | 12:29 |
| Machtin | Jordan_U: how could I check which fs /dev/mapper/tmp has? | 12:29 |
| meoo | www.orkut.com | 12:29 |
| Jordan_U | Machtin: sudo blkid | 12:29 |
| LjL | meoo: ? | 12:30 |
| Machtin | tmp2.. well, guess that's okay for /tmp | 12:30 |
| Machtin | err, ext2 of course. | 12:30 |

When i try to boot up on that iso (using a disc) it stops after checking battery state.. indicating its a graphics related problem. Now. If i perhaps could run the installer from CLI it MIGHT work.. however im just used to the one in gnome so i dont know what its called | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | if you are using hdmi output for video and sound.. ive had a few pcs where i had to use the audio out and not hdmi to get sound working. | 13:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Night all.. bed time for me. | 13:49 |
| T_H_X | Krised: its called ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso or amd4 | 13:50 |
| jakes | can anyone help me how to open logfiles?? of root access | 13:51 |
| T_H_X | jakes: use sudo. like... sudo less /var/log/syslog | 13:51 |
| jakes | thanx T_H_M | 13:52 |
| Oxymoron | Hi, is there anyway to recover/crack password from a rar archive without need to bruteforce? Some kind of exploit. | 13:52 |
| Krised | T H X Thats no good sadly. If i download an Ubuntu it works flawlessly. Its only after ive installed the system, upgraded all packages and installed likewise-open and prepared it for new domain users (without adding it to the domain) and remastered it into a ISO and attempting to boot on that iso that the graphics prevents it from ever starting up past checking battery state. | 13:53 |
| jakes | can anyone help how can i install nfs hot persuit in ubuntu | 13:53 |
| CaptAnon | quick question. I type "at now" into terminal | 13:54 |
| MonkeyDust | jakes i know ssh, but what is hot persuit exactly? | 13:54 |
| T_H_X | Krised: ok.. when you boot .. and graphics fails, have you tried pressing ctrl-alt F1 and loging into bash, then try restarting lightdm and modding xorg.conf or removing it if it exists | 13:54 |
| CaptAnon | then xeyes <ctrl+D> | 13:54 |
| CaptAnon | but it does not work, Does anyone know why? | 13:54 |

| Nach0z | hey got a question for yall. I have a process that's eating all of my bandwidth; is there any way to limit the network usage of a process, or just the network usage of a single user on my machine? | 14:28 |
| misterphp | hello | 14:28 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: let me guess, a torrent ? | 14:28 |
| misterphp | lol | 14:28 |
| Nach0z | ikonia: nope, MySQL database transfer | 14:28 |
| Nach0z | six gigs of it, and I'm running this server off my home internet. | 14:28 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: database transer ? you mean you are copying files across the network, or mysql replication ? | 14:28 |
| Nach0z | mysql replication. this tool queries my DB, and inserts the data on a different machine | 14:29 |
| diverdude | llutz, what happens then if i turn on a machine which expects a disk at /dev/sdbX because i put it in the /etc/fstab,,,and the disk it not there? will it just not mount it then and work normally otherwise? And next time I reboot the machine it will try to mount again | 14:29 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: ok, so it's not the mysql replication, but a tool that's reading the database and inserting it across the network into a new target database ? | 14:29 |
| Nach0z | ikonia: basically my mysql is eating 200 percent of my internet right now, and I want to limit the network usage of this process without interrupting the transfer. | 14:29 |
| Nach0z | yes, that's exactly it, it's reading and inserting elsewhere | 14:29 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: I don't think it can eat %200 of your internet | 14:29 |
| Nach0z | ikonia: -_- I'm just trying to make a point with that. Yes I know 200 percent is impossible here. but you get what I'm trying to say. | 14:30 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: you will strugglge to do what you want, as you'll either have to qos it on your router (lots of home routers won'd do this) or qos it using something like iptables, but that's quite a big job to setup, especially for a one time hit, and it will interupt the transger | 14:30 |
| llutz | diverdude: it will complain at boottime if its not present, but should work (depending on _what_ is on the fs). next time it will start normal, /etc/fstab will not be changed autom. by that | 14:30 |

| diverdude | llutz, great...its just a storage device for documents | 14:31 |
| ikonia | not really no, | 14:31 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: your best bet is to just ride it out on this one occasion, | 14:31 |
| llutz | diverdude: shouldn't harm. different story if it would hold /var or something | 14:32 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: any process will use as much bandwidth as possible, so it's just working as best it can | 14:32 |

| ikonia | Nach0z: not at this moment | 14:32 |
| diverdude | llutz, if it was would that completely mess up the system? or could i just reinsert the disk and start the machine and everything would work as before? | 14:33 |
| ikonia | popey: but can this be done dynamically while his process is running | 14:33 |
| llutz | diverdude: the latter | 14:33 |
| popey | ikonia: no, you initiate it before | 14:33 |
| Nach0z | popey: yeah that don't help me in that case :/ but thanks for tryin | 14:33 |
| ikonia | popey: yes, that's not an option then as he doesn't want to kill the transfer | 14:33 |
| diverdude | llutz, nice....i really like linux' simplicity in those aspects :) It just works as you expect it to work | 14:33 |
| llutz | diverdude: sometimes, yes :) | 14:34 |
| unomi | Nach0z: honestly I do think that you can shape it while it is running, but it might be easier to hit it else where, such as bottlenecking its diskio or cpu | 14:34 |
| ikonia | unomi: how will hitting it's cpu change it's network performance | 14:35 |
| Nach0z | unomi: that's actually not a bad idea... the CPU isn't being used enough to make a difference, but what's a good way to limit a process's hdd usage? | 14:35 |
| popey | Nach0z: do something else that eats IO ☺ | 14:35 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: you mean limit it's I/O or limit how much space it can use | 14:35 |
| gionnico | I have a problem with a SD card. The kernel hangs (blkid timeout) when I try I/O: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/541598/ | 14:35 |
| Nach0z | ikonia: if it can't get enough CPU time to do the read commands off of the disk at a speed that'll transfer out at 400 kb/s, it'll slow it down. | 14:35 |
| Nach0z | ikonia: I mean I/O on the disk | 14:35 |
| unomi | ikonia: that should be pretty obvious, you are trying to impact the amount of data it is trying to send, rather than how much it can send | 14:36 |
| ikonia | Nach0z: that sort of process eats pretty much no cpu - so you'd have to unplug the process to stop it being able to process | 14:36 |
| popey | Nach0z: you want the moon on a stick, face it, you probably should restart if you really want to do this | 14:36 |

| ikonia | Nach0z: crippling your machine in some way to control your network card doesn't seem a wise approach | 14:45 |
| Nach0z | ikonia: also noted. I'm looking at throttling the process's CPU usage right now; it's using about 5 percent, if I limit it to something like 1 percent I may get some results. | 14:46 |
| ikonia | I promise you it won't make a difference | 14:46 |
| ikonia | you won't | 14:46 |
| ikonia | nice is just priority, not limiting | 14:46 |
| Nach0z | not using nice | 14:46 |
| ikonia | how are you trying to limit it's cpu usage then ? | 14:47 |
| Nach0z | cpulimit | 14:47 |
| ikonia | you won't get a result with that (welcome to try and good luck of course) | 14:47 |
| unomi | Nach0z: no dice with ionice? | 14:48 |

Running vanilla 11.10, when I ALT-TAB, sometimes the window can come to the front, and sometimes, the taskbar (name?) pops out and shows the app wiggling around.

| veagles | cargo23, Are you running compiz? | 15:11 |
| yourfriendisaac | auk_ yes VM will boot windows under ubuntu easily | 15:11 |
| szal | rere: as I understand it, Wubi is installing *buntu to a virtual hard disk drive in Windows, similar to the way you can install other Windoses in virtual HDDs within a Windows partition | 15:11 |
| cargo23 | MarcoKZ: I can look up how, but I have edited the config so that I can ALT-` to switch between the windows of the current app. | 15:11 |

| blackarchan | i want to start to learn programming for linux...where can i find a good chat room for informations and help? | 15:35 |
| imbezol | blackarchan: that's pretty vague. there are hundreds of different projects that use dozens of different programming languages | 15:36 |
| blackarchan | C/C++ | 15:37 |
| The_Misfit | blackarchan: here on freenode is a good palc | 15:37 |
| jpds | blackarchan: Do you have a particular project in mind? A lot use C/C++. | 15:37 |
| imbezol | blackarchan: personally i wouldn't start on irc. i'd do some googling for examples | 15:37 |
| The_Misfit | search on http://irc.netsplit.de/ | 15:37 |
| blackarchan | jpds: for now i just want to start learning | 15:38 |
| duelle | blackarchan: So probably ##c++ is a good channel for questions regarding c++ | 15:38 |
| blackarchan | i now a little C/C++ and C# | 15:38 |
| imbezol | blackarchan: you need to learn basic syntax first | 15:38 |
| leadZERO | On 11.10 what's the preferred method of adding IP addresses to an interface. I originally set the IP through NetworkManager, but am only at the cmmand line at the moment... | 15:38 |
| imbezol | blackarchan: then start into things like classes, basic hello worlds, data structures, etc | 15:38 |
| blackarchan | imbezol: the basic syntax i know.... but i come frome linux...so im used with GUI...on C# | 15:39 |
| imbezol | blackarchan: from windows you mean? | 15:40 |
| imbezol | blackarchan: if you want a huge gui environment you could look at something like kdevelop | 15:40 |
| blackarchan | yes sorry:)) | 15:40 |
| imbezol | blackarchan: i'd almost suggest starting at the command line though :) | 15:41 |
| blitz | personally I'd look into python | 15:41 |
| blackarchan | imbezol: tnx...i heard somthing about Qt? im a little borred of command line:D | 15:41 |
| blitz | as a starting language, you'll learn object oriented practices much quicker in python than in c++ | 15:41 |
| imbezol | yeah.. C# is kind of a high level language.. not much different than visualbasic | 15:41 |

| jeus | shake second monitor (NVIDIA Geforce 310M ) | 15:42 |

| blackarchan | blitz: i wanted to learn python...but someone told me that you cant do much things on it | 15:42 |
| blitz | well, they were wrong | 15:42 |
| imbezol | blackarchan: qt is a window library | 15:42 |
| blackarchan | blitz: tnx for the info | 15:42 |
| blitz | you wouldn't write embedded code in python | 15:42 |
| blackarchan | imbezol:tnx..... C i started learning for microcontrollers | 15:43 |
| blitz | or use it to sort large amounts of data | 15:43 |
| blitz | but it CAN do those things. | 15:43 |
| Duesentrieb | huh. point in case. gwibber is the perfect example of a window based app written in python: unusably slow :( | 15:43 |
| blitz | anyone can write something poorly in any language | 15:43 |
| blackarchan | blitz: but python wasent more for scripting?? | 15:44 |
| Duesentrieb | blitz: i know. and for the record: i love python. | 15:44 |
| Duesentrieb | but it's not the right tool for everything. | 15:44 |
| blitz | blackarchan, that's what most people use it for | 15:45 |
| Duesentrieb | but most of all: i want to get rid if gwibber | 15:45 |
| Duesentrieb | how do i get rid of gwibber? | 15:45 |
| blitz | blackarchan, but it's not a scripting language | 15:45 |
| blackarchan | blitz: tnx for the info | 15:45 |
| Duesentrieb | blackarchan: python is an interpreted, high level, object oriented language with some nice functional features. it can be used for a lot of things. | 15:46 |
| blackarchan | Duesentrieb: cant you use sudo apt-get purge gwibber or apt-get remove | 15:46 |
| Duesentrieb | blackarchan: no, because ubuntu-desktop depends on it. and about 20 things depend on that. | 15:46 |
| Duesentrieb | i'd say that depoendency is bullshit, but tell that to apt. | 15:46 |
| blackarchan | Duesentrieb: i see and tnx for the info im gonna look into python | 15:47 |

| mophead | MonkeyDust : yeah, that's what I figured. so how do I go about fixing it? | 17:57 |
| Raymond_ | gentoo64, thx | 17:57 |
| MonkeyDust | mophead in the gui or with cli? | 17:57 |
| mophead | either or | 17:57 |
| mophead | gui would be easier to remember | 17:57 |
| Gentoo64 | zul0, what are you trying to do btw | 17:57 |
| geoffmcc | Ririshi_: are you trying to use WUBI? | 17:57 |
| MonkeyDust | mophead open synaptic, click Settings, Repositories | 17:58 |
| NTHL | thanks anyway! I'll try #Ubuntu-Server then. I need DCMTK to work on 10.04 LTS, so going to latest Ubuntu is not really an option | 17:58 |
| jeus | ubuntu NVIDIA 310M optimus and horizontal shake second monitor | 17:58 |
| zul0 | use tor + irc | 17:58 |
| zul0 | Gentoo64 | 17:58 |
| recon69_lap | Ririshi_: if the usb boot panics there are problems, as i said you need someone much more uptodate, i still using 10.04 | 17:58 |
| jeus | have anybody idea ? | 17:58 |
| Gentoo64 | zul0, on xchat? | 17:58 |

| pvandewyngaer | celthunder: so i guess i use metacity, but how can i configure it ? | 17:59 |
| Ririshi_ | MonkeyDust: ehh.. Wubi.exe from the .iso file. | 17:59 |
| geoffmcc | Ririshi_: ok. i didnt understand that part before. You are using WUBI. | 17:59 |
| geoffmcc | Ririshi_: i would go into windows and scan the disk for errors | 17:59 |
| celthunder | pvandewyngaer: don't know i don't use it | 17:59 |
| jeus | OerHeks, im install them but have experiment | 17:59 |
| w00tmars | yay sound worked | 17:59 |
| w00tmars | auronandace: | 17:59 |

| ubottu | w00tmars: Glad you made it! :-) | 18:00 |
| Ririshi_ | geoffmcc: I used Wubi.exe from the .iso file. | 18:00 |
| mophead | O_O MonkeyDust : I found it! \o/ | 18:00 |
| zul0 | Gentoo64, i should read tor wiki :d | 18:00 |
| jeus | OerHeks, im install them but have'nt experiment | 18:00 |
| mophead | MonkeyDust : thanks so much for your help :D | 18:00 |
| Gentoo64 | zul0, im using xchat and tor now | 18:00 |
| geoffmcc | Ririshi_: yeah, wubi causes some problems, i never been a fan of it | 18:00 |
| OerHeks | jeus, maybe you ask also in #Bumblebee ( i don't own an Optimus ) | 18:00 |
| geoffmcc | Ririshi_: check out https://answers.launchpad.net/wubi/+question/171739 | 18:00 |

| zgr | what is shortcut for workspace wide alt+tab in 11.10? | 18:01 |
| Gentoo64 | zul0, btw if you only wana hide your ip you might as well request a cloak in ##freenode | 18:01 |
| auronandace | zgr: shif+alt+tab (just guessing) | 18:02 |
| S0NiC | cu guys | 18:02 |
| wolter | how can I make network-manager stop telling me I have "insufficient privileges" and ask me for a password instead? | 18:02 |
| Nixi | hey:-) | 18:02 |
| zgr | auronandace: it worked in 11.04 but not 11.10 | 18:03 |
| hjack76 | sup guys... here's the thing, I hate how Unity looks, but i like gnome-shell and i'm currently using it. But i would like to give XFCE a try. can i install it alongside gnome-shell without any conflict? | 18:03 |
| auronandace | zgr: are you using unity? | 18:03 |
| recon69_lap | Ririshi_: I'd suggest you back up any important data you have considering the panic you had when windows did not load | 18:03 |
| zgr | auronandace: yes | 18:04 |
| auronandace | hjack76: yes | 18:04 |
| auronandace | zgr: hmm,maybe you can set it in compiz config | 18:04 |
| lesshaste | how would you rip a track from an iso of a dvd? | 18:04 |
| hjack76 | auronandace, ok ty | 18:04 |
| lesshaste | rip/reencode | 18:05 |
| Ririshi_ | recon69_lap: It did load the Ubuntu. Not the Windows. I thought the choosing screen didn't show. Shall I delete the Wubi version? | 18:06 |
| recon69_lap | i'm off, Ririshi_ sorry i could not get you a solution, bye o/ | 18:06 |
| Ririshi_ | recon69_lap: no problem. Thank you for trying. | 18:06 |
| auronandace | zgr: i don't know if ccsm (compiz config settings manager) is installed by default, you may need to apt-get it | 18:06 |
| recon69_lap | Ririshi_: when you boot from usb you do not get a list , it just loads | 18:06 |
| geoffmcc | Ririshi_: did u see my link. there was a solution in there | 18:07 |
| Ririshi_ | recon69_lap: The thing that showed up was the loader of my wubi installation | 18:07 |
| recon69_lap | Ririshi_: the fact that it crashed after loading indicates that some hardware does not like 11.10 | 18:07 |
| geoffmcc | Ririshi_: if memory servers all it was is running disk check in windows | 18:07 |
| zgr | auronandace: I've it installed but there is no such option for "swithcer" | 18:07 |
| Ririshi_ | geoffmcc: i looked and the *.disk filed were there. | 18:08 |
| hjack76 | auronandace, just one more thing, should I install the whole xubuntu-desktop package or just XFCE? I want to have both options at the login screen | 18:08 |
| findlay | how can I restrict the <alt>-<tab> window list to a per-workspace basis? | 18:08 |
| hjack76 | auronandace, I mean both XFCE and GNOME 3 | 18:08 |
| geoffmcc | Ririshi_: recon69_lap: per bcbd The message about the 'prefix not being set' is innocuous (happens on every 11.04 wubi install on every boot). | 18:08 |
| findlay | how can I restrict the <alt>-<tab> window list to a per-workspace basis (in unity)? | 18:08 |
| auronandace | hjack76: xubuntu-desktop will install a few extras, up to you | 18:09 |
| Ririshi_ | geoffmcc: I should have wait? I will try it again after dinner. I'm home alone with my lil sister | 18:10 |
| recon69_lap | geoffmcc: what i mean is that he booted from the usb, got into ubuntu at 1fps and then the kernel panicked, that makes me think his ati card and 11.10 are not playing nice , but i could be wrong | 18:10 |
| auronandace | zgr: its been a while since i used compiz, i think there are multiple alt+tab switchers | 18:10 |

| damselfly9 | what's the big problem? | 18:19 |
| apple_ | hi | 18:19 |
| fofogogo23 | Gentoo64 , I tried wubi, but that never worked. So now I've been using a CD, but whenever the installation is almost done, it tells me a fatal error has occured and the grub could not be installed... | 18:19 |
| Ririshi_ | Argh... Ubuntu isn't compatible with my PC?? It keeps crashing and giving this on te last line of some output console: CR2: 00000000ffffff80 | 18:19 |

| MonkeyDust | fofogogo23 have you first undone the wubi installation? | 18:21 |
| VIPER-II | Is there any program in Ubuntu that can tell me how my Gpu is doing? | 18:21 |
| fofogogo23 | MonkeyDust: Yes, I have. | 18:21 |
| downbeam | for some reason i dont think #lubuntu works | 18:21 |
| VIPER-II | I'm having low FPS while watching movies on my ubuntu machine. And i dont think it's the Cpu. | 18:21 |
| fofogogo23 | MonkeyDust: I've been trying for hours and hours. I read somewhere that it had something to do with RAID, but I have no idea what to do. | 18:21 |
| VIPER-II | So there's no way in Ubuntu to know my VGA performance? ? | 18:23 |

| VIPER-II | the thing is i have a ATI Radeon 5450 HD | 18:27 |

| VIPER-II | i can't imagine that it's soo weak... | 18:27 |
| noahnoah | Update: Looks like the original boot info did stick in grub. However, now when I reboot, it instantly goes to the grub menu. (Used to just boot through) Selecting the first (main) options causes the machine to hang. | 18:27 |

| damselfly9 | VIPER-II: if you are sure vlc's process isn't running slow on your cpu chip, then is must be having a slow time access the avi file from the drive it's on | 18:30 |
| noahnoah | Need to install NVidia drivers without XWindows running. What's the best/safest way to boot into command prompt so I can run installer? | 18:30 |
| Tellmarch | noahnoah, you can get command prompt with ctrl alt F1 (even after X booted or tried to) | 18:31 |
| VIPER-II | I'm trying to to 'measure' how much effort my GPU is putting into this. That's why i started by asking if anyone know of such an application. | 18:31 |
| Tellmarch | noahnoah, you can also shut down X from there if you need to | 18:32 |
| noahnoah | Tellmarch: Yes, but I have to stop X from running | 18:32 |
| damselfly9 | VIPER-II: "top" will tell you how much cpu time VLC is using | 18:32 |
| === s9iper1 is now known as bil21al | ||
| Tellmarch | "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" used to stop X, but i don't know with the latest ubuntus honestly '^^ | 18:32 |
| VIPER-II | "top" ? | 18:33 |
| noahnoah | Awesome. Thanks! | 18:33 |
| damselfly9 | VIPER-II: "top" is a console window command | 18:33 |
| noahnoah | gem not there. Other ideas to stop X | 18:33 |
| Tellmarch | lightdm instead of gdm maybe? | 18:34 |
| JWFoxJr | noahnoah: who's telling you to stop X to install nvidia drivers? Are you not using the restricted driver package that comes with ubuntu? | 18:34 |
| VIPER-II | Does it check the Graphical-PU too? | 18:34 |
| noahnoah | JWFoxJr: Nvidia installer pops up an error screen that complains about X running. | 18:35 |
| JWFoxJr | noahnoah: So you're not using the ubuntu packaged ones... | 18:35 |
| noahnoah | I'm using the install file downloaded directly from the nvidia website. NVIDIA-Linux-stuff.run | 18:35 |
| damselfly9 | VIPER-II: no, just the cpu usage. But since you are using a software video decoder (VLC) it's unlikely to be the video GPU's fault | 18:35 |
| noahnoah | No ubuntu package one is too old. New SDK is 4.1 | 18:35 |
| noahnoah | Running Cuda code complains that the driver is too old | 18:35 |
| Tellmarch | noahnoah, so "sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop" should work i think | 18:35 |
| Tellmarch | if i'm not mistaken | 18:36 |
| noahnoah | Tellmarch: that worked! | 18:37 |
| Tellmarch | (lightdm is the new display manager, which replaced the gnome display manager gdp) | 18:37 |

| Tellmarch | GeminiDomino, the update manager wants me to update to firefox 9 too, in 10.04 | 18:43 |
| subb1 | cosmicfires, hi | 18:43 |
| righteousRat | pardon my ignorance but either my grep is broken or my head is broken but why wont my grep work anymore lol is try ls -la /etc | grep yum and it shows listings with yum then i try to enter a regex and it wont work. for example i tried ls -la /etc | grep /^yum/ didnt work also /yum/ didnt work also /yum+/ didnt work | 18:43 |
| cosmicfires | is there an alternate ui for 11.10? | 18:43 |
| auronandace | cosmicfires: you can install a different desktop environment | 18:43 |
| GeminiDomino | Tellmarch: Perfect... I even uninstalled it and explicitly installed the firefox-3.0 package with apt, and it STILL did it. | 18:43 |
| cosmicfires | does grep use // around regular expressions? I've never used them | 18:44 |
| subb1 | cosmicfires, is it in a way that whenever i want to run a command with sudo, i dont have to type in password everytime? | 18:44 |
| cosmicfires | auronandace do you have any links? | 18:44 |
| VIPER-II | damselfly: so VLC is not optimal? Then which player should I use? Cuz i turned off the Hardware Acceleration and CPU is now around 36%. | 18:44 |
| cosmicfires | sudo -s | 18:44 |
| cosmicfires | run a root shell | 18:44 |
| auronandace | !notunity | cosmicfires | 18:44 |
| ubottu | cosmicfires: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 18:44 |
| cosmicfires | but then root will modify dot files in user's home dir | 18:44 |
| LjL | righteousRat: don't put // around the expression | 18:44 |
| auronandace | cosmicfires: my favourite is xfce | 18:44 |
| subb1 | cosmicfires, Is it possible to set this on login? | 18:45 |
| auronandace | !xfce | cosmicfires | 18:45 |
| ubottu | cosmicfires: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 18:45 |
| cosmicfires | so after sudo -s start a login root shell with su - | 18:45 |
| righteousRat | LjL what happened to the / regex / syntax? i think i used it before and it works. | 18:45 |
| cosmicfires | subb1 I don't believe so you have to login as root after you login as user | 18:45 |
| LjL | righteousRat: never used it with grep myself. | 18:45 |
| righteousRat | Ljl worked* | 18:45 |
| Tellmarch | GeminiDomino, thanks for the warning, i don't want firefox 9 either and hadn't noticed before you talked about it. | 18:45 |
| subb1 | cosmicfires, ok :) | 18:45 |
| cosmicfires | i've never used /regex/ with grep | 18:45 |
| symlink_head_ | hi all | 18:46 |

| talntid | Anyone here have a standard set of cronjobs they do, like to email admin if disk space is low, needs reboot, etc... ? | 18:46 |
| GeminiDomino | Tellmarch: No problem | 18:46 |
| righteousRat | alright thanks LjL oh but guess wat works grep /regex without the closing forward slash | 18:46 |
| symlink_head_ | i have trouble with xorg and memory leak in vmware | 18:46 |

| noahnoah | It was working fine. I'm learning to developing software with CUDA. the SDK was complaining that my driver was too old, so I attempted to install the latest downloaded directly from nvidia. After a "successful" install, everything broke | 19:44 |
| hydrox24 | noahnoah: may I ask if you installed the proprietary nvidia drivers (also known as "restricted drivers") before the crashing? | 19:44 |
| === heinz_ is now known as heinz | ||
| hydrox24 | noahnoah: OK, so are you happy to simply revert to having the old driver? | 19:45 |
| noahnoah | Not my first choice, but better than a broken box :) | 19:45 |
| blackarchan | anyone can help me with my problem?? | 19:46 |
| hydrox24 | noahnoah: are you using a xorg.conf | 19:47 |
| hydrox24 | blackarchan: just state your issue and if there is a respeonse then yes, if no response then no | 19:47 |
| noahnoah | I wasn't before. The Nvidia install created one for me. | 19:47 |
| blackarchan | my webcam works from PowerMenu but in Skype dosen`t | 19:47 |
| hydrox24 | noahnoah: DO you know how to move files around? just move the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.bak and reboot, if that fails then come back and I will help you in removing the nvidia module altogether | 19:48 |
| blackarchan | i don`t know if its working on other programs because i use only Pidgin and Skype | 19:48 |
| jeninto | Hi everybody, I'm running into a problem - with Ubuntu 10.06, I've changed /etc/default/tomcat6 to enable debugging, but as it turns out whatever is in $JAVA_OPTS isn't included in the java arguments when I look at the running processes via "ps -A u | grep tomcat"... any advice? | 19:48 |
| noahnoah | Yes. I'm comfortable with Unix/Linux but don't know all the details of ubuntu and know little about X | 19:48 |
| lesshaste | I installed handbrake.. how do I start it? | 19:48 |

| kantlivelong | is there a way to force an app to install 32bit on a 64bit sys? | 19:48 |
| hydrox24 | lesshaste: should be under music/audio | 19:49 |
| yumbo | kantlivelong, which app? | 19:49 |
| noahnoah | Side question: When I booted to recovery, my HD is "read only". How can I get back proper access? | 19:49 |
| kantlivelong | yumbo: dell omsa | 19:49 |
| lesshaste | hydrox24: under it in some menu? | 19:49 |
| hydrox24 | kantlivelong: yes but in ubuntu doing that breaks things, so don't do it if you don't have to | 19:49 |
| hydrox24 | lesshaste: just in the standard app menu, yes | 19:49 |
| bobo37773 | blackarchan: Is uvcvideo module loaded? | 19:49 |
| lesshaste | hydrox24: I don't have any menus | 19:49 |
| kantlivelong | hydrox24: hmm reason being is that OMSA wont see my raid card in 64bit | 19:49 |
| blackarchan | bobo37773: what is that?? | 19:50 |
| bobo37773 | blackarchan: Look at the output of --> lsmod | grep uvc | 19:50 |
| hydrox24 | lesshaste: are you using standard ubuntu? then move your mouse to the left of the screen, and click on the greyish icon (the first one) then type in "hand" and choose the first option | 19:50 |

| blackarchan | its more nonmae some chinesse webcam | 19:53 |
| hydrox24 | lesshaste: sorry, yes I though you wanted to start it graphically, but yes you can start it from terminal | 19:53 |
| MonkeyDust | pedahzur try unetbootin instead | 19:53 |
| hydrox24 | lesshaste: oh, sorry I thought you wanted the GUI version of handbrake | 19:53 |

| bobo37773 | blackarchan: Never heard of it. Try to manually load uvcvideo ---> sudo modprobe uvcvideo | 19:54 |
| hydrox24 | K-4U: have you installed the proprietary nvidia drivers? | 19:55 |
| yumbo | BenPA, any reason not to upgrade to 11.10 ? | 19:55 |
| K-4U | hydrox24: Yes.. The problem with this laptop is that it has 2 videocards in it.. Something with bumblebee or ironhide.. I've tried them both, compiz still won't run | 19:55 |

| hydrox24 | K-4U: so do you click on compiz and nothing happens or do you get an error? | 19:56 |
| Gentoo64 | blackarchan, that means it loaded | 19:56 |
| bobo37773 | blackarchan: Something did happen. You loaded a kernel module. Close skype and test again. | 19:56 |
| pedahzur | MonkeyDust: Thakns! That's the name of the other one! I couldn't remember. I'll give that a go! | 19:56 |

| K-4U | hydrox24: Well, the wm reboots, making it look like compiz is starting, but then it stops, giving me Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0" | 19:57 |
| K-4U | hydrox24: the same goes for glxgears, the same error | 19:57 |

| yumbo | BenPA, what kernel version do you have installed currently? ("uname -a") | 19:58 |
| bobo37773 | blackarchan: Try "gspca" module. See if it is loaded. If not load it and check. | 19:59 |

| humbolt | somthing must have been screwed up in this last update! | 19:59 |

| yumbo | BenPA, yes please | 20:02 |
| JWFoxJr | maujhsn: not if there's not enough free space to start. You have to hit erase disk. I know this because I did it last week with a 1GB usb key | 20:03 |
| Gentoo64 | you only need the usb to be the size of the iso to boot from it | 20:03 |
| maujhsn | Gentoo64 I am communicating with you right now from a bootable usb! So, your the one that is talking nonsense! | 20:03 |

| humbolt | Regressions seem to be something acceptable nowadays. | 20:05 |
| pedahzur | Gentoo64: When I try to boot off the USB (by selecting "USB" from the boot menu) it just gives me "Boot error" and nothing else. | 20:05 |
| Gentoo64 | pedahzur, how did you make the usb? | 20:05 |
| Gentoo64 | and was it formatted as far32 | 20:05 |

| asif | having issues | 20:06 |
| h4ckm3 | have you booted from usb successfully before? | 20:07 |
| bobo37773 | humbolt: system76 sells 100% compatible hardware with support | 20:07 |
| humbolt | bobo37773: no it is not. this is somebody else picking hardware that works. this is not the same, as Ubuntu making sure, each release of their software surely works, even on their old machines! | 20:07 |
| anonh4mm3rlinux | anyone know a good VPN for linux? | 20:07 |

| bobo37773 | blackarchan: Not sure what to tell you. Maybe your hardware is not compatible. You may need to do some more research based on your model number. | 20:10 |
| Gentoo64 | humbolt, sounds about right | 20:10 |
| maujhsn | Gentoo64 You have your way of doing things, & my way is better than yours on this issue! :) | 20:10 |

| yumbo | BenPA, Open Synaptic Package Manager and type bcm into the quick search box. | 20:13 |
| JWFoxJr | jdevine: You might want to try #bash | 20:13 |
| BenPA | yumbo: can I do it from a terminal? | 20:13 |
| humbolt | bobo37773: Ubuntu should try to sell hardware and SUPPORT it, and sell services (not support) on basis of their software stack: like mp3 purchases, photobooks, video filters for some video editing software. that is the business model to conquer the desktop! | 20:13 |
| bobo37773 | r0b-: ok what are you using to take the screenshot? | 20:13 |
| jdevine | ~/.xsession-errors as pointed out a syntax error in .rvm/scripts/functions/env (rvm is Ruby Version Manager): the syntax is " done < <(env --null)" | 20:13 |

| Gentoo64 | lol azeurus forgot about that | 20:14 |
| humbolt | Gentoo64: the best of both worlds. | 20:14 |
| yumbo | Gentoo64, me too | 20:14 |
| BenPA | yumbo: it says "b43-fwcutter is already the newest version" and did not find the second part ... the installer | 20:15 |
| bobo37773 | humbolt: I do not think that Ubuntu manufactures hardware. You will have to go to a hardware vendor. Might I suggest system76 hahaha. I get what your saying But ubuntu too is limited by GNU / Linux in general. | 20:15 |
| humbolt | Ubuntu TV kind of is the right direction. Kind of. But I am afraid, Mark Shuttleworth still did not fully understand, what his goal should be. | 20:15 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 20:15 |
| Gentoo64 | humbolt, its probably not even the hardware, but the fact you updated something | 20:15 |
| bobo37773 | r0b-: Use something like scrot | 20:16 |
| yumbo | BenPA, sudo apt-get remove --purge b43-fwcutter && sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 20:16 |
| r0b- | scrot? | 20:16 |
| lesshaste | how do I change to use proper java jdk and not the open one? | 20:17 |
| r0b- | not using screen shotting | 20:17 |
| humbolt | bobo37773: You dont get it, do you? I dont give a shit about what they do now. I am telling you, Ubuntu will never make it, if they do not START selling hardware. | 20:17 |
| bobo37773 | r0b-: Takes screenshots from the command line. That way you can put it in your script | 20:17 |
| Gentoo64 | lesshaste, whats the point of azeurus when better and lighter clients are there | 20:17 |
| yumbo | humbolt, this is not the channel for that kind of talk | 20:17 |
| humbolt | bobo37773: No distro did so far, and thats why they all failed on the desktop. | 20:17 |

| phil_kiddo | -up, -down, -mute, -setup | 20:19 |
| bobo37773 | r0b-: Maybe "uvccapture" package? | 20:20 |
| raboof | hi. i had a headless ubuntu install on top of which I installed X.org, firefox and gdm | 20:20 |
| humbolt | how can I identify all packages, which have been installed to my system from the backports repo? | 20:20 |
| JFB | is there a default protection in ubuntu or it needs a special software? | 20:20 |
| phil_kiddo | whick change volume, toggles mute or sets all values according to file (in file I have actual values, it is used to syncgronize pulseaudio and my data) | 20:20 |
| Slart | rns: man 5 crontab has examples and explanations | 20:20 |
| raboof | in firefox and gdm, the fonts are tiny. I suspect I'm missing a fonts package or so. any idea what I could try? | 20:20 |
| raboof | running on a relatively large screen (my 32" tv) | 20:21 |
| phil_kiddo | oh, for being sure, that script was called, I added part that prints "working" to file in given directory | 20:21 |
| phil_kiddo | so if I call this script, and volume stays the same, I check the file, and find out if its a matter of script, or keygrabber | 20:21 |
| Scopey | How can I reinstall xfs support to ubuntu? | 20:22 |

| Pici | phil_kiddo: you need to stop pressing enter so often. Use a comma instead. Also, can you try running your script as an argument to python? | 20:26 |
| yumbo | BenPA, you also have windows on your laptop? | 20:26 |
| BenPA | yumbo: no, but I have 2 other Linux installs (triple booted) and they work ... one is kubuntu and the other is lubuntu | 20:27 |
| yumbo | BenPA, they work with the newer kernel as well? | 20:27 |
| BenPA | yumbo: yes | 20:27 |
| yumbo | BenPA, I don't know what you should/could do then | 20:28 |
| yumbo | sorry | 20:28 |
| phil_kiddo | Pici: understood, comma will occur ;) If you mean calling "python .soundControlScript -up" - it wont make any difference, I added #/usr/bin/python at the first line, so shell will interpret script woth python interpreter. Anyway, as I tried - it works just the same | 20:28 |
| AndyUbuntu | Hey guys | 20:28 |
| tanath | libreoffice is inserting random spaces in words when printing, even though it looks fine in LO. printing from gdocs in chrome works fine though. | 20:28 |

| BenPA | yumbo: I just checked the hardware drivers and broadband sta is installed ... it says "this driver is active but not in use" | 20:28 |

| Gringoire | error. Any ideas? | 20:30 |
| phil_kiddo | Pici: works exactly the same - changes volume, as expected. You think of setting buttonpress to call python, not bash? | 20:30 |
| BenPA | yumbo: also I read about rfkill and removed that yesterday after it did not work to adjust the settings | 20:30 |
| akavlie | If I run as root "cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily" it runs fine. | 20:30 |
| akavlie | which is taken right from /etc/crontab. | 20:31 |
| gh0strider | bobo37773: i trid using zsnes, but i it doesn't give you any options to set the keyboard as the joystick, do you have to have a joystick for znes? | 20:31 |
| JWFoxJr | Gringoire: do you have build-essentials installed? I thought that included c++ compiler | 20:31 |
| humbolt | which kind of talk are you talking about. I just said, that I found the source of the problem, I mentioned earlier. | 20:31 |

| Gringoire | I think ncurses is installed, but cmus doesn't work | 20:33 |
| JFB | ipad = ? = ubuntu | 20:33 |
| Gringoire | I solved in in the prev install by installing wicd, which I knew for a fact used ncurses. Not a smart way to do it but worked | 20:33 |
| bobo37773 | Gringoire: Look online. I am pretty sure there is a ppa for it. | 20:33 |

| bobo37773 | gh0strider: Yeah. Keyboard works fine. | 20:33 |
| Pici | phil_kiddo: Can you specify "python /home/phill/soundControlScript.py -up" inside your fluxbox keys file? Also, you may want to use :ExecCommand instead of :Exec | 20:34 |
| OerHeks | JFB ubuntu on an iPad, not possible yet. | 20:34 |
| yumbo | BenPA, can you do "gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" and post the contents of that file? | 20:34 |
| Slart | paulus68_: cp has a recursive switch.. and there probably is a "force overwrite" switch as well.. you might want to take care so that permissions are what you want them to be too | 20:34 |
| tanath | Slart, well, the user has gone now, document with them. and we try not to waste ink... being more expensive than oil and blood... :P | 20:34 |

| yumbo | Scopey, I meant a "sudo" before that ofcourse | 20:48 |
| tnk1 | dlentz: yes it just stays there. i'm thinking it's one of the defunt processes running inside google chrome, actually, because it was a right click on a link that put the window there (it was the grey background for right click selections on a page), then the writing and everything else disapperaed when i clicked away, but the background grey box remained.... | 20:48 |
| yumbo | matse, but I recommend you install the desktop version and just install Gnome-Shell alongside i | 20:48 |
| yumbo | it* | 20:49 |
| tnk1 | dlentz: so I wonder if there's a way besides just restarting chrome.. | 20:49 |

| operating_system | yes | 20:53 |
| operating_system | am herer bobo37773 | 20:53 |
| operating_system | i have a problem on this | 20:53 |
| bobo37773 | operating_system: ok | 20:53 |
| Scopey | yumbo: sgi xfs filesystem data (blksz 4096, inosz 256, v2 dirs) other ideas? | 20:54 |
| operating_system | my ubuntu oneiric oncelot | 20:54 |
| yumbo | Scopey, hang on a minute... | 20:54 |
| operating_system | corrupt after run the parttial upgrade | 20:54 |
| operating_system | so to do right now | 20:54 |
| Scopey | yumbo: Alrighty | 20:54 |
| BenPA | yumbo: when I read yesterday about "rfkill" the soft said yes and the hard said no ... I tried to change the setting to yes for the hard and it would not change for some reason .. | 20:54 |
| operating_system | so what to do right now | 20:54 |
| yumbo | Scopey, "sudo ls -a /proc/filesystems" ? | 20:54 |
| bobo37773 | operating_system: Is there a lot of data you need to save on it? | 20:55 |
| operating_system | bobo37773, yes there are some data on my pc | 20:55 |
| schnuffle | operating_system: can't you finish the upgrade? | 20:55 |
| operating_system | bobo37773, lets go to private chat | 20:55 |
| bobo37773 | operating_system: ok | 20:56 |
| OerHeks | operating_system, did you try to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 ? | 20:56 |
| Scopey | yumbo: Nothing happened? | 20:56 |
| operating_system | schnuffle, i finish | 20:56 |
| yumbo | BenPA, can you uncomment "## auto wlan0" and "## iface wlan0 inet dhcp" and do a "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" ? | 20:56 |
| operating_system | OerHeks, it was a partial upgrade | 20:56 |
| yumbo | Scopey, try "sudo modprobe xfs" and then try to mount again | 20:56 |
| BenPA | yumbo: sure | 20:56 |
| bobo37773 | operating_system: Back up your data and do a clean install. You will probably be happier you did then trying to fix an "upgraded" system. It has been that way as long as I can remember. | 20:57 |
| Scopey | yumbo: Error inserting xfs, cannot allocate memory | 20:57 |
| yumbo | what? | 20:57 |
| yumbo | I have not seen that before | 20:58 |
| ssta | interesting issue. Can you pastebin the output of free -m? | 20:58 |
| yumbo | Scopey, ^ | 20:59 |
| Scopey | Gimme two min | 20:59 |
| ssta | don't think I've ever seen a system so short of memory it couldn't insmod a module | 21:00 |
| WLU | what is mono and why although the process status is sleeping it still takes all my cpus to 95% | 21:00 |
| chia2308 | Hello nubut | 21:00 |
| Scopey | Brb | 21:00 |
| schnuffle | WLU: mono is a .NET port | 21:00 |
| WLU | schnuffle: does it usually hog all cpus | 21:01 |
| operating_system | bobo37773, isn't there any means to fix the problem rather than formatting | 21:01 |
| DerpyHoovy | Hey. I just updated to Linux kernel 3.0 and now I can't boot (grub error: cannot read linux headers). | 21:01 |
| CaptAnon | Does anyone have any experiance with the at command? | 21:01 |
| operating_system | bobo37773, bobo37773, isn't there any means to fix the problem rather than formatting | 21:02 |

| xangua | operating_system: you haven't even said your issue with details | 21:02 |
| === raving is now known as Sir_Fawnpug | ||
| ssta | Scopey: you have lots of memory then. That's really strange! | 21:02 |
| Scopey | this whole day has been strange. | 21:02 |
| ssta | the xfs module is only a little over a meg | 21:02 |
| WLU | shnuffle: Can I know what program is running mono | 21:03 |
| Scopey | i've reinstalled ubuntu twice ssta | 21:03 |
| operating_system | xangua, my pc fails to shut down due to the partial upgrade that i made | 21:03 |
| xangua | ... | 21:03 |
| schnuffle | WLU: when you open top, type c it will show the whole command line | 21:03 |
| WLU | schnuffle: thanks | 21:03 |
| BenPA | yumbo: no go ... it said no dhcp offered | 21:03 |
| Scopey | yumbo: or ssta: any ideas? | 21:04 |
| schnuffle | WLU: or a ps aux | grep mono | 21:04 |
| ssta | Scopey: can you firstly install pastebinit (sudo apt-get install pastebinit), then run: grep "Could not allocate" /var/log/dmesg | tail -20 | pastebinit | 21:04 |
| ssta | Scopey: it will give you a ORL, paste the URL here | 21:04 |

| biopyte | hi. vlc in fullscreem mode doesnt work properly. the image is outside the frame of the player. ubuntu 11.10 ... any idea? | 21:05 |
| sneakster | I got a dumb question, this unity interface is pretty awful | 21:05 |
| ssta | Scopey: also, what's the output of: uname -a | 21:05 |
| sneakster | Is unity an unavoidable part of ubuntu | 21:05 |
| Jordan_U | !notunity | sneakster | 21:06 |
| ubottu | sneakster: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 21:06 |
| ssta | sneakster: it can be removed, or just avoided. There's a bazillion guides on how to do it on the web | 21:06 |
| schnuffle | seanbright: yes there are other flavours like xubuntu->XFCE, lubuntu->LXDE ... | 21:06 |
| sneakster | I was lookin at alternatives such as gnome 3 and kde and such, is that the equivalent of a seperate distribution from ubuntu | 21:06 |
| Jordan_U | sneakster: No. | 21:06 |
| ssta | wish they had it as an installer option, but hey hum | 21:07 |
| schnuffle | sneakster: they all point to the same repos, just the default package install at the beginning is different | 21:07 |
| sneakster | repos? | 21:07 |
| biopyte | sneakster; why dont you set your favourite desktop at the login screen? | 21:07 |
| schnuffle | sneakster: repositories=software you can install | 21:07 |
| sneakster | ah | 21:07 |
| operating_system | bobo37773, are u there | 21:08 |
| Scopey | ssta: pastebinit installed bu the second command said you are trying to send an empty document, exiting, as for the uname it says Linux ubuntu 3.0.0-15generic-pae #26-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 20 17:07:31 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux | 21:08 |
| sneakster | It automatically logs on | 21:08 |
| r0b- | well i got it to capture every second | 21:08 |
| r0b- | but its stills | 21:08 |
| caravone | ping, can somebody help me with a problem booting oneiric on an x220? | 21:08 |
| ssta | Scopey: hmm.... | 21:09 |
| sneakster | I'm coming from windows, and I'm not too uncomfortable with the commandline, what would you reccomend in place of unity? | 21:09 |
| Scopey | ssta: if you want you can remote login and look for yourself, i'm an utter noob when it comes to linux lol | 21:09 |
| Telugodu | i dont like unity | 21:09 |
| Jordan_U | caravone: What problem are you having specifically? (Please be as detailed as possible) | 21:09 |
| Telugodu | <3 gnome | 21:09 |
| schnuffle | sneakster: I work mostly in a terminal so my choice is a simple desktop, which is satisfied with LXDE | 21:10 |
| sneakster | gnome looked good, I saw an article saying the direction of gnome between 2 and 3 changed a lot | 21:10 |
| sneakster | does replacing unity with gnome change anything besides appearance? Would I lose any functionality? | 21:10 |
| yumbo | BenPA, what does iwconfig now give you? | 21:10 |
| asif_ | hi all | 21:10 |
| ssta | Scopey: umm, it's not usually a good idea to offer that on IRC. I can't think of a single thing I could run that would help that I couldn't just get you to run yourself...I'm stumped | 21:10 |
| yumbo | sneakster, you're not able to use Unity lenses | 21:11 |
| schnuffle | sneakster: I prefer KDE but I'm not willing to spend the resources just to have some eye candies. And that counts for Gnome3 KDE 4 and Unity | 21:11 |
| caravone | Jordan_U: I installed oneiric 32-bit, it worked fine for a while, then it started freezing on a purple screen whenever I rebooted. Now I can reboot only in recovery mode. This happened after at least two fresh installs. | 21:11 |
| asif_ | im trying to watch videos on lovefilm | 21:11 |
| Scopey | ssta: understood, so you have no idea why it's not loading the xfs module? | 21:11 |
| asif_ | i have the latest version of moonlight installed | 21:11 |
| ssta | Scopey: there was a similar bug back in some dev versions of 2.6 kernel, but you're not on those, and you don't have the symptomatic output in dmesg | 21:11 |
| mongy | sneakster, everyone has their preferences, but I would recommend xubuntu as a nice gnome2 alternative. | 21:11 |
| gh0strider | bob37773: you are not still around are you? | 21:11 |
| biopyte | sneakster, start with gnome, however you can install as many desktops/wm as you like and choose at the login screen. | 21:11 |
| asif_ | yet it still keeps asking me to install silverlight | 21:11 |
| schnuffle | caravone: sounds like broken hardware or can you boot a live system without problem? | 21:11 |
| sneakster | ah | 21:12 |
| DerpyHoovy | Hey. I just updated to Linux kernel 3.0 and now I can't boot (grub error: cannot read linux headers). | 21:12 |
| Jordan_U | asif_: Most Silverlight video sites use DRM, which is not implemented in moonlight. | 21:12 |
| xangua | asif_: moonlight doesn't support all sirverlight features, besides it hasn't been a new release since almost a year | 21:12 |
| ssta | Scopey: no. One last thing to try: sudo depmod -a; sudo modprobe xfs | 21:12 |
| sneakster | I guess I'll try gnome 3, thanks for the advice | 21:12 |
| ssta | Scopey: if that doesn't help, then I'm baffled (but still interested in fiunding what is happening) | 21:12 |
| xangua | DerpyHoovy: then use the kernel provided in repositories | 21:12 |
| Scopey | ssta: same memory error | 21:12 |
| DerpyHoovy | xangua: I updated via System Updates and I don't know how to downgrade/fix it | 21:12 |
| ssta | Scopey: can you: tail -100 /var/log/dmesg|pastebinit | 21:13 |
| ssta | Scopey: maybe there's SOME clue there | 21:13 |
| Scopey | ssta: http://paste.ubuntu.com/819322/ | 21:13 |
| r0b- | any tips for capturing USB video via CLI? | 21:13 |
| sneakster | just installed gnome-shell in terminal, since the login automatically logs in, how can I change to gnome 3? | 21:13 |
| r0b- | usinb a webcam | 21:13 |
| caravone | schnuffle: System works in recovery mode (except bad screen resolution and sleep / reboot doesn't work). It's a new x220 with SSD. Is there some diagnostic I can run to check for bad hardware? | 21:14 |
| Jordan_U | !pm | asif_ | 21:14 |
| ubottu | asif_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 21:14 |
| xangua | DerpyHoovy: use your previous kernel then and wait untill you get the headers of the latest | 21:14 |
| Telugodu | sneakster use ctrl+alt+f1 | 21:14 |
| ssta | Scopey: same thing for syslog? tail -100 /var/log/syslog|pastebinit | 21:14 |
| xangua | sneakster: disable automatic log in | 21:14 |
| Telugodu | then use command to switch to gnome 3 | 21:14 |
| r0b- | !webcam r0b- | 21:15 |
| schnuffle | caravone: to recapitulate: every time when you do a fresh install, your system works and the degrades? | 21:15 |
| mongy | sneakster, logout, choose gnome and log in | 21:15 |
| Scopey | ssta: http://paste.ubuntu.com/819323/ | 21:15 |
| caravone | schnuffle: yes. The last time, I noticed I had just updated packages before I failed to reboot for the first time | 21:16 |
| asif_ | anyone got any ideas how to watch drm content on ubuntu? | 21:16 |
| ssta | hmm, that's at least possibly related | 21:16 |
| * ssta googles | 21:16 | |
| operating_system | bobo37773, be back private | 21:17 |
| Scopey | ssta: really hoping this works, if not i've lost like 1.8tb of media :S | 21:17 |
| biopyte | sneakster, log out, choose desktop, login | 21:17 |
| ssta | Scopey: presumably this is the stock xfs module thagt comes in Ubuntu anyway? | 21:18 |
| Scopey | literally thats all i did | 21:18 |
| Scopey | ssta: installed ubuntu fresh, then i read to redownload xfsprogs xfsdump, thats all i've done | 21:18 |
| ssta | there's not enough vmap space, which is unusual... | 21:18 |
| Jordan_U | DerpyHoovy: What version of grub are you using? | 21:19 |
| zoLevDotCom | hi! | 21:19 |
| ssta | no idea how that makes a difference to xfs though | 21:19 |
| Scopey | ssta: what is vmap space? | 21:20 |
| ssta | Scopey: dmesg|grep vmalloc|pastebinit | 21:20 |
| ssta | Scopey: virtual memory map | 21:20 |
| ssta | Scopey: if the space there isn't big enough then the kernel would have problems allocating memory for things like modules | 21:21 |
| ssta | and it's *about* the right size it's trying to allocate | 21:21 |
| ssta | Scopey: really, I'm just guessing here...looking for ANYTHING that will give hints :) | 21:21 |
| Scopey | ssta: http://paste.ubuntu.com/819333/ | 21:21 |
| ssta | this is the sort of puzzle that's fun | 21:21 |
| agentgasmask | Hi all. I got a new laptop with intel core i3 and 4GB ram. Should I go 32 or 64 bit OS? | 21:21 |
| Scopey | ssta: well i'm glad someone is enjoying it :S lol | 21:22 |
| chiiiiiz | hello!! | 21:22 |
| ssta | Scopey: do you know how to edit the grub commandline at boot? | 21:22 |
| talntid | agentgasmask, 64 bit :) | 21:22 |
| Scopey | ssta: not at all. | 21:22 |
| ssta | does anyone know a good guide to how that I can point Scopey at? I'd be awful at explaining it | 21:22 |
| agentgasmask | talntid: Simple as that I guess. :) thanks | 21:22 |
| chiiiiiz | I have found a nice wallpaper on the internet. I have used it as a wallpaper, but I can not find the file on my computer. Where is the wallpaper fine on Unity? | 21:23 |
| sneakster | I'm a fool | 21:23 |
| karel_ff | Does anyone know how to trigger 'fast user switching' from the command line? | 21:23 |
| sneakster | ctrl+alt+f1 for login .... how do I start gnome from there | 21:23 |
| chiiiiiz | wallpaper file, not fine | 21:23 |
| r0b- | ugh this is making me mad :( | 21:24 |
| damselfly9 | sneakster, does "startx" work for you? | 21:24 |
| ssta | Scopey: can you read this section for me? See if what it's saying makes sense? | 21:24 |
| biopyte | sneakster, logout from unity | 21:24 |
| sneakster | ....sorry, whats startx | 21:24 |
| ssta | Scopey: what I want you to do is reboot and add vmalloc=256M | 21:25 |
| wulfling | Hello | 21:25 |
| ssta | Scopey: but if you don't think you can edit the command line, we're going to have difficulty :) | 21:25 |
| damselfly9 | sneakster, a cli command to start X, which would start gnome if you have things config'd right | 21:25 |
| Scopey | ssta: i'll tell you from now i am literally on my first day with linux | 21:25 |
| BenPA | yumbo: back | 21:25 |
| ssta | Scopey: okay. | 21:25 |
| sneakster | ah | 21:25 |
| FSK | good evening every body | 21:25 |
| sneakster | so, logout of unity, login an starx? | 21:26 |
| ssta | Does anyone know of a way to change the kernel commandline one time only before rebooting? (I suspect it's possible, but I dpn't know how) | 21:26 |
| sneakster | and* | 21:26 |
| wulfling | i tried to install ubuntu 11.04 server edition 64bit on a laptop and it only shows me little pixels at the top of the screen after GRUB | 21:26 |
| wulfling | GRUB shows fine | 21:26 |
| r0b- | have any of you used ffmpeg to capture a webcam from CLI and output a video file for streaming? | 21:26 |
| wulfling | i think i mean 11.10 | 21:26 |
| DerpyHoovy | Gah, I give up. | 21:26 |
| FSK | could anybody give me the link for aspire one for linux?, because i think there is a bank of them somewhere but i can't find them... | 21:26 |
| DerpyHoovy | Linux has never been nice to me. | 21:26 |
| wulfling | yes, 11.10 | 21:26 |
| biopyte | sneakster, within unity find the shutdown/logout/restart menu and then logout | 21:27 |
| Scopey | ssta: i'm tempted to try downloading captain nemo for win7 and see if it'll moun tthe disk in windows at this point | 21:28 |
| ssta | if we took a backup of /boot/grub.cfg, edited the original and rebooted, would that would pick up the changes? | 21:28 |
| frank1985 | does anybody here own an Asus P7131 or similar and had to do something special to enable the composite inputs? | 21:28 |
| ssta | Scopey: sorry, this is advanced stuff, and playing with grub is something I rarely do. I know what parameter I want you to add, and I think it has a chance (not a certainty) of fixing the problem...but since it involves a reboot and editing the grub commandline, I can't talk you through it in realtime | 21:30 |
| northernen | Which grub option do I need to set in /etc/default/grub to be able to view the grub menu at boot, rather than it automatically booting into the default menu entry? | 21:31 |
| indio | Hi. How can I retrieve a Window that is there, but it is not in the Unity taskbar or the icon tray? | 21:32 |
| sneakster | Got it :) | 21:32 |
| sneakster | Thanks guys | 21:32 |
| biopyte | great | 21:32 |
| indio | BTW, it looks like a bug. | 21:32 |
| wulfling | anyone? | 21:33 |
| indio | aMSN, if you minimize it to try, it disappears. | 21:33 |
| yoyoyo | atrium | 21:33 |
| BenPA | yumbo are you there? | 21:33 |
| yoyoyo | drupal | 21:33 |
| Scopey | ssta: i'll brb i'm going to try downloading captain nemo first and see what happens with that | 21:33 |
| sneakster | So I have terminology right, gnome and ubuntu are just shells? | 21:33 |
| ssta | Scopey: good luck | 21:34 |
| northernen | sneakster, Ubuntu is a distribution. gnome is a desktop environment. | 21:34 |
| ssta | sneakster: no, ubuntu is the system. Gnome is a graphical environment | 21:34 |
| sneakster | Gotcha | 21:34 |
| sneakster | Are most desktop environments compatable with different distributions? | 21:35 |
| wulfling | anyone? | 21:35 |
| damselfly9 | sneakster, often are | 21:35 |
| yumbo | BenPA, did iwnfconig give you anything now? | 21:35 |
| yumbo | iwconfig* | 21:35 |
| BenPA | yumbo let me check | 21:35 |
| MonkeyDust | !anyone | wulfling | 21:36 |
| ubottu | wulfling: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 21:36 |
| BenPA | yumbo: no | 21:36 |
| sneakster | By the way, whats the most MIRCesque client for ubuntu? I'm currently using Konversation | 21:36 |
| yumbo | BenPA, then Im afraid I cant help much further | 21:36 |
| [[thufir]] | running ubuntu 11.04, can't seem to get sound from speakers. Could be software problem. Is there a way to test hardware, or do I need test speakers somehow? | 21:36 |
| yumbo | sneakster, X-Chat | 21:37 |
| sneakster | Thanks | 21:37 |
| wulfling | ive been trying to install ubuntu 11.10 server 64 bit on a lenovo .... it installed fine, rebooted, then shows me the grub bootloader without a problem, but once i select the linux server to boot (its giving me a choice between recovery mode and regular) , then all it shows are like pixels at the top of the screen | 21:37 |
| wulfling | on a lenovo laptop | 21:37 |
| BenPA | yumbo: did the rfkill mean anything | 21:37 |
| Scopey | ssta: walk me through what you were talking about earlier pls | 21:37 |
| sneakster | Gnome is much less intrusive than unity so far :) | 21:37 |
| Bisu[Shield] | my computer keep sending emails to a particular recipient (web@website.com), how do I prevent sending email to just that recipient? | 21:37 |
| indio | Hi. How can I summon a hidden Window in Unity? | 21:37 |
| BenPA | yumbo: it seems that some hardware is being blocked somehow | 21:38 |
| [[thufir]] | wulfling: hmm. tried , err, mode without x. just terminal like. no graphics. what happens then? not sure if that's recovery mode. | 21:38 |
| wulfling | nope | 21:38 |
| funkymonk | how can i find out what version of php is installed on my ubuntu server from the command line | 21:38 |
| wulfling | its server edition. | 21:38 |
| wulfling | cli only | 21:38 |
| biopyte | sneakster, i dont understand what this unity stuff is about ... never met someone who liked it | 21:38 |
| yumbo | BenPA, copy your /etc/network/interfaces from your other ubuntu install? | 21:38 |
| damselfly9 | man php | 21:38 |
| obelus | funkymonk there should be a --version switch, try typing php --version onto the terminal | 21:38 |
| wulfling | it works fine with 9.10 | 21:39 |
| funkymonk | thanks obelus | 21:39 |
| ssta | Scopey: it's kinda tough to explain. Did you read tyhe link I sent? | 21:39 |
| BenPA | yumbo: can I do that from here ... hmmmm | 21:39 |
| sneakster | Yeah, I can't see how it got out of testing, it's incredibly unintuitive and where its not unintuitive it just gets in the way | 21:39 |
| BenPA | yumbo: hold on | 21:39 |
| biopyte | sneakster, gnome2 + themes + compiz ... and you have a pretty decent desktop | 21:39 |
| damselfly9 | sneakster, they needed to do that for all the windows users who are used to having windows prevent them from doing things | 21:40 |
| Scopey | ssta: i don't think i got it, sorry | 21:40 |
| BenPA | yumbo: how can I do that from here ... I can access the other files | 21:41 |
| sneakster | I still think that windows took out square edged so people wouldn't cut themselves on them | 21:41 |

| ssta | how to force it to give you a menu in the first place, I don't know | 21:41 |
| yumbo | BenPA, you can do "sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bak" | 21:41 |

| wildcard__ | I have a problem, that is fairly major, involving networking and wireless drivers on Ubuntu 11.10. I have downloaded the drivers for my card, but they are in .exe form. I opened it to find the ini file so I could try to load the drivers, but I have no clue what to look for. The drivers are the SP22996 for teh Mobile Intel Pro 100 NIC, halp, please...? | 21:43 |

| alazare619 | im looking for a irc daemon to put on my server but has to have frontends for linux and windows as i have multiple pc's on the same networl any ideas? | 21:46 |
| ssta | Scopey: yes, then use arrows to get to the kernel you're booting (it's probably the top one), press "e" to edit, scroll to the line that starts "linux" and add: vmalloc=256M | 21:46 |
| biopyte | sneakster, synaptic is the recommended package manager | 21:46 |
| gh0strider | bobo377773: hey bobo! i am glad you are still here hey i was wondering if i could ask you one more question about znes? i know this may sound dumb but how the hell do you maximize znes i tried using that square next to the "x to exit out of znes" but it doesn't maximize it so do you know how? | 21:46 |
| wulfling | ok so he';s gonje | 21:47 |
| biopyte | sneakster, its in the adminstration menu | 21:47 |
| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, you need to change resi n the options | 21:47 |
| alazare619 | im looking for a irc daemon to put on my server but has to have frontends for linux and windows as i have multiple pc's on the same networl any ideas? | 21:47 |
| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, you can maximize the window tho | 21:47 |
| Scopey | ok ssta i'm going to switch back over and get on irc on another device to be safe, brb | 21:47 |
| wildcard__ | Or can anyone tell me where in the sp22996.exe I can find teh needed drivers, and how to isntall them? | 21:48 |
| gh0strider | Gentoo64: i tried looking at the options, do you know which ones specifically? | 21:48 |
| === g__ is now known as Guest52058 | ||

| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, config, video, modes | 21:48 |

| fwest | i installed a base system with no X etc | 21:50 |
| wildcard__ | I have a problem, that is fairly major, involving networking and wireless drivers on Ubuntu 11.10. I have downloaded the drivers for my card, but they are in .exe form. I opened it to find the ini file so I could try to load the drivers, but I have no clue what to look for. The drivers are the SP22996 for teh Mobile Intel Pro 100 NIC, halp, please...? | 21:50 |
| fwest | other than gdm and gnome-shell, what do i need to get a gnome-shell working? | 21:50 |
| sneakster | Gonna ask a dumb, dumb question | 21:50 |
| sneakster | ....wheres the administration menu | 21:50 |
| damselfly9 | alazare619, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIRCd | 21:50 |
| biopyte | sneakster, in tne main menu (ubuntu icon in the toolbar) | 21:51 |
| biopyte | in gnome | 21:51 |
| gh0strider | hmmm i am really thinking that snes is better than znes | 21:51 |
| Gentoo64 | bsnes? | 21:51 |
| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, zsnes is the fastest one | 21:52 |
| gh0strider | i have noticed that, that znes seems to run smoother than snes | 21:52 |
| Gentoo64 | zsnes is written almost entirely in assembly | 21:52 |
| gh0strider | Gentoo64: do you know of a good regular "nes emulator" for ubuntu? | 21:52 |
| gh0strider | i am looking to play regular nintendo games instead of super nintendo... | 21:53 |
| mongy | sneakster, you might either want to use indicator-appmenu for a a classic menu or use a desktop that still uses those types of menus, like kde, xfce, lxde | 21:53 |
| Gentoo64 | does zsnes not do nes as well? | 21:53 |
| yumbo | wildcard__, don't bother with .exe files on Linux, you cannot install drivers that way | 21:53 |
| wildcard__ | Or perhaps there is a website with a repository of all the intel network drivers for linux? | 21:53 |
| wildcard__ | Some help you be awesome... | 21:53 |
| yumbo | wildcard__, the intel drivers should be installed already | 21:54 |
| wildcard__ | It is not showing my device at all | 21:54 |
| gh0strider | Gentoo: hmm good question.. | 21:54 |
| sneakster | hmm | 21:54 |
| yumbo | wildcard__, do you have internet access? | 21:54 |
| gh0strider | Gentoo64: i bet snes will do nes games also, i didn't even think about that... | 21:54 |
| sneakster | kde-xfce-lxde, whats the general consensus and advantages/drawbacks? | 21:54 |
| gridlock__ | can i use wubi to install other distrobutions? (blackbuntu) | 21:54 |
| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, i have no idea tbh | 21:55 |
| mongy | sneakster, personal preference. | 21:55 |
| labtech | #ipv6 | 21:55 |
| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, try it lol | 21:55 |
| wildcard__ | I do on my other machine currently, the one in question requires hardline until I fix it, but seriously, it was a windows xp machine until 2 eeks ago, and I was wireless the entire time. | 21:55 |
| mongy | sneakster, load a vm and try them all out. | 21:55 |
| biopyte | sneakster, there are tons of comparisons ... just google it | 21:55 |
| Gentoo64 | sneakster, tbh, the lighter ones are always better. you only lose the smoother looks | 21:56 |
| wildcard__ | It's just acting like I have no wireless card, and someone told me to download the driver.exe file, saying something can be done involving it to get my wireless working | 21:56 |
| wildcard__ | So, I got my sp22996.exe file downloaded, I just have no clue what to do, and I cannot find anythign via google on the problem | 21:57 |
| biopyte | sneakster, as it seems you are a total beginner ... why not getting familiar with the basic system first and play around later ... just my 2 cents | 21:57 |
| alazare619 | ok i guess i need to rephrase what i need...I dont need like a "server" I need a single outgoing irc connection to like freenode etc that all my machines on my network can connect to and use the same user account if you know what i mean kinda like deluge-daemon etc | 21:57 |
| riking | meh. i prefer #wolfgame | 21:57 |
| damselfly9 | wildcard__, they probably meant to use "ndiswrapper" to have linux run your windows driver | 21:57 |
| gh0strider | Gentoo64: do you know if a wireless usb xbox controller will work with ubuntu or is it better to get a controller (for snes or znes) that is not wireless for ubuntu? | 21:57 |
| wildcard__ | You are probably right. | 21:58 |
| wildcard__ | Will that work? | 21:58 |
| sneakster | the sad sad sad thing is I got an A in a redhat linux class | 21:58 |
| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, not sure about wireless, bit i use the wired 360 controller with the kernel driver and it works great | 21:58 |
| sneakster | and now it takes me 40 minutes to mv a file and change a config :p | 21:58 |
| damselfly9 | wildcard__, ndiswrapper has been known to work | 21:58 |
| yumbo | wildc4rd, I asked if you have internet access on your laptop at the moment? | 21:58 |
| sneakster | funtimes though | 21:58 |
| wildcard__ | I do. | 21:58 |
| gh0strider | Gentoo64: you are using a wired xbox 360 controller that plugs into your usb port? | 21:58 |
| Gentoo64 | yea | 21:59 |
| yumbo | wildcard__, then what's the problem? | 21:59 |
| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, best controller ever :) | 21:59 |
| === nick is now known as Guest16629 | ||
| gh0strider | gentoo64: great thanks for the info man i appreciate it | 21:59 |
| wildcard__ | Its hardlined. My wireless card is not working. | 21:59 |
| sneakster | Any reccomended reading for ze newbs | 21:59 |
| wildcard__ | I don't always have a hardline option | 21:59 |
| gh0strider | i am going to order a controller tonight and i can't wait till i get it.. | 21:59 |
| biopyte | sneakster, then tell your teacher to teach you how to log out ..... :-o | 21:59 |
| sneakster | Best controller ever was the SNES pad, thats why all the good controllers ever since owe most of their design to it | 21:59 |
| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, yea just get the plain basic wired 360 pad | 21:59 |
| yumbo | wildcard__, what does "iwconfig" give you? | 21:59 |
| Gentoo64 | sneakster, good luck with analog games :) | 22:00 |
| sneakster | true | 22:00 |
| Gentoo64 | even the military use the 360 pad | 22:00 |
| Gentoo64 | lol | 22:00 |
| sneakster | but even analog controllers are snes pads with an analog addition | 22:00 |
| wildcard__ | No wireless extensions | 22:00 |
| wildcard__ | Twice | 22:00 |
| henson | Have a base Ubuntu install. Just installed PulseAudio. How do I change the volume levels? Is there a command-line util? | 22:00 |
| wildcard__ | lo and eth0 both | 22:00 |
| sneakster | I need a pc pad with a GOOD d-pad, they all have the crappy d-pad style where you push one direction and it will go another | 22:01 |
| OerHeks | henson alsamixer | 22:01 |
| Gentoo64 | sneakster, thats the only downside to the 360 pad, but they made one with improved dpad i havent tried it tho | 22:01 |
| Scopey | ssta: http://paste.ubuntu.com/819370/ | 22:01 |
| henson | OerHeks: That's what I've done before. Is that correct? Seems weird to use another sound daemons settings. though I guess alsa is different | 22:01 |
| ssta | Scopey: yep, xfs module loaded :) | 22:02 |
| ssta | Scopey: now you might want to make it permanent... | 22:02 |
| mongy | I still have my saitek (p60 p600 something? it's old but works still). its basically a ps2 pad clone | 22:02 |
| Scopey | ssta: dude you are freaking amazing, i just need it to run for this boot, so i can copy stuff over | 22:02 |
| Scopey | no need for permanence lol | 22:02 |
| === napperjabber_ is now known as napperjabber | ||

| Scopey | ssta: lemme test it out real fast and get back to you | 22:03 |
| OerHeks | henson it should work, i know the name is confusing, not the reason why. | 22:03 |
| nahuel_ | ubuntu spañol por favor ? | 22:03 |
| sneakster | Gentoo64: yeah thats the shame of it, the 360 pad is great... but anything pre playstation is a little off with the old dpa | 22:04 |

| Gentoo64 | sneakster, i used to have a ps3 pad, the dpad is fine on that | 22:04 |
| wildcard__ | So, what can I do with ndiswrapper involving the .exe file? | 22:04 |
| wildcard__ | Because honestly there are a LOT of files in the .exe, and I am not sure which is the proper one to open | 22:05 |
| damselfly9 | wildcard__, first you need to extract the driver files out of the .exe | 22:05 |
| Scopey | ssta: so now I can mount the drive and see it in the file manager, but when i try to copy data it says for each folder that i do not have permissions to read | 22:05 |
| sneakster | Gentoo64: I'll have to check it out | 22:05 |
| wildcard__ | Just open with archive manager and extract all to a single folder? | 22:05 |
| sneakster | installing lxde now, hope its smooth | 22:05 |
| mumbles__ | i am > < close to reinstalling | 22:06 |
| damselfly9 | wildcard__, best to extract it with sub-directory paths | 22:06 |
| ssta | Scopey: ah, what commandline did you use to mount it? | 22:06 |
| wildcard__ | ....dunno what you mean | 22:06 |
| Scopey | ssta: it just seems like certain files have a lock sign on them in the file manager, how do i fix that? | 22:06 |
| Seryth | mumbles__: What's the problem? | 22:06 |
| Scopey | ssta: sudo mount -t xfs /dev/sdb4 | 22:06 |
| mumbles__ | nvidia graphics card drivers | 22:06 |
| damselfly9 | wildcard__, go ahead and extract | 22:06 |
| mumbles__ | ive removed purged and reinstaled and still no luck | 22:07 |
| Seryth | mumbles__: What card have you got? I've got an nVidia card, and it works fine.... | 22:07 |
| mumbles__ | erm. gt218 | 22:07 |
| mumbles__ | thats what lspci shows | 22:07 |
| Seryth | mumbles__: I'm on driver 173 | 22:07 |
| Seryth | Seems to work fine | 22:07 |
| ssta | Scopey: sudo mount -t xfs /dev/sdb4 -o remount,uid=${ID} | 22:07 |
| ssta | Scopey: I think that will; work, if not we can try again | 22:07 |
| mumbles__ | mine worked fine till thismorning at 9am | 22:08 |
| wildcard__ | Alright, it's extracted. | 22:08 |
| mumbles__ | then it faild | 22:08 |
| Scopey | ssta: do i put something in ID? | 22:08 |
| ssta | Scopey: no, the shell should do that for you | 22:08 |
| Seryth | mumbles__: Did you do anything? | 22:08 |
| ssta | Scopey: but I got it the wrong way around I think | 22:08 |
| mumbles__ | Seryth, nope. | 22:08 |
| Scopey | ssta: i think you did, what way should it be? | 22:08 |
| mumbles__ | well not before it broke anyway | 22:08 |
| Seryth | mumbles__: Auto updates? | 22:08 |
| BenPA | yumbo: is the the info from the other two ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/819379/ | 22:08 |
| mumbles__ | Seryth, could be i suppose. | 22:09 |
| ssta | sudo mount -t xfs -o remount,uid=${UID} /dev/sdb4 | 22:09 |
| damselfly9 | wildcard__, now you need to identify the proper ndis driver files. | 22:09 |
| mumbles__ | got a good guide ? | 22:09 |
| Seryth | mumbles__: Might be worth trying to rollback your driver. I'm busy now otherwise I would walk you through it :/ perhaps another kind soul will ;) | 22:09 |
| ssta | Scopey: that's if it's already mounted. If it's not already mounted then you can take out remount | 22:09 |
| wildcard__ | Oh, boy. How do I do that, damselfly9? | 22:09 |
| damselfly9 | wildcard__, for that you may need to read the readmes that hopefully were included | 22:10 |
| mumbles__ | Seryth going to remove perge and try again | 22:10 |
| Scopey | ssta: k i did that but nothing seemed to happen | 22:10 |
| sneakster | lxde is nice | 22:10 |
| yumbo | BenPA, did you try replacing the file with the others and doing "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" ? | 22:10 |
| Seryth | mumbles__: K. | 22:10 |
| ssta | Scopey: if nothing happened it probably mounted. Look again now in the file manager | 22:10 |
| sneakster | Thank god, it doesn't feel my laptop is running a dang cellphone os | 22:10 |
| Gentoo64 | sneakster, yeah its a lot snappier isnt it | 22:10 |
| mumbles__ | or try to find my install cd. | 22:11 |

| Gentoo64 | no? ok lol | 22:15 |
| Gentoo64 | i never really go in offtopic | 22:15 |
| Seryth | Gentoo64: It might have been related to 3D stuff. I do 3D modelling and animation, so....hmm. | 22:15 |
| Seryth | Maybe it was a different channel. | 22:15 |
| Seryth | I've defo spoken to you before though :P | 22:15 |
| damselfly9 | wildcard__, that would have been the best way. I don't have your wifi card, so I can't tell you | 22:16 |
| Gentoo64 | Seryth, when you get that drive, if it dont mount in the file manager, do fdisk -l and get the device name and just try manually mounting it | 22:16 |

| Scopey | ssta: tbh it's only a relatively small number of files if that has you stumped i can live with losing them | 22:17 |

| Womkes | What kind of firewall would you recommend for a simple ubuntu server. Going to serve some websites, maybe e-mail hosting | 22:17 |
| ssta | Scopey: output of: ls -ld /media/xyz | 22:17 |
| Gentoo64 | Seryth, as root, mkdir /mnt/something then mount /dev/sd* /mnt/thing | 22:18 |
| Slart | Womkes: iptables is the standard firewall, perhaps get a gui for it if you're going to do special things with it | 22:18 |
| Slart | !firewall | Womkes | 22:18 |
| ubottu | Womkes: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 22:18 |
| Scopey | ssta: drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 101 2010-05-12 15:49 /media/xyz | 22:18 |
| Gentoo64 | Womkes, ufw is good | 22:18 |
| Gentoo64 | easy as well | 22:18 |
| Womkes | ah ok, its ubuntu server though | 22:19 |
| Womkes | command line | 22:19 |
| scwizard | I know that postfix doesn't do this, mutt doesn't do this, mini_sendmail doesn't do this and msmtp doesn't do this | 22:19 |
| ssta | Scopey: is it a big filesystem? | 22:19 |
| Gentoo64 | Womkes, ufw is cli as well | 22:19 |
| Gentoo64 | Womkes, ufw enable blah, etc | 22:19 |
| Scopey | ssta: in what sense? | 22:19 |
| Womkes | looks good | 22:19 |
| r0b- | is there a way to disable the rightlight stuff on my logitech webcam usinb ubuntu? | 22:19 |

| Womkes | thank you! :) | 22:19 |
| Scopey | ssta: 1.8 tb | 22:19 |
| Womkes | I will give it a try | 22:19 |
| ssta | Scopey: okay, that's too big to copy everything... | 22:19 |
| Scopey | ssta: maybe closer to 1.7 | 22:19 |
| Scopey | ssta: i have a drive to put everything on to | 22:20 |
| ssta | scoopex: I *really* don't beleive I'm about to tell you to do this... sudo nautilus | 22:20 |
| ssta | Scopey: then copy your files | 22:20 |
| Scopey | ssta: when i try to it says certain folders/files are unreadable | 22:21 |
| ssta | Scopey: then afterwards you'll need to change their ownership to you rather than root | 22:21 |
| Slart | *cough* gksu | 22:21 |
| auronandace | ssta: surely you mean: gksudo nautilus | 22:21 |
| ssta | Scopey: yes, that's because they're owned by root, not you | 22:21 |
| ssta | auronandace: if you say so | 22:21 |
| Gentoo64 | gksudo nautilus wont make any difference to sudo nautilus | 22:21 |
| Scopey | so how do i change that for those folders/files? | 22:21 |
| Gentoo64 | for that | 22:21 |
| _cb | clear | 22:22 |
| ssta | Scopey: chown username filename | 22:23 |
| ssta | Scopey: if there are lots you can use wildcards | 22:23 |
| yumbo | ssta, what about "sudo chown -R username /media/mountpoint" ? | 22:23 |
| ssta | Scopey: I'm afraid I don't know of a GUI way to chown. There may be one, but I wouldn't know | 22:23 |
| Scopey | ssta: can i just tell it to do that for an entire folder?, and how do i point it towards each specific file? | 22:23 |
| ssta | Scopey: yes, you can use -R | 22:24 |
| gh0strider | hmmm FCEUX nes emulator for some reason does not let you configure the keyboard to use...you must only be able to use a joystick with it... | 22:24 |
| ssta | Scopey: chown -R username folder/ | 22:24 |
| yumbo | ssta, Is it not a better idea just to chown the whole drive? | 22:24 |
| gh0strider | does anyone here use FCEUX nes emulator? | 22:24 |
| Gentoo64 | gh0strider, never heard of it | 22:24 |
| ssta | yumbo: I don't know if he wants to keep the drive afterwards...I prefer not to destroy the permissions currently in the drive (it's not my drive, or my data) | 22:25 |
| gh0strider | its available in the repo's | 22:25 |
| ssta | if xfs allowed you to set uid on mount, this would be much easier, but it doesn't | 22:25 |
| Scopey | yumbo: I tried doing that and chown came back saying invalid user, i just typed my username as i see it when i login | 22:25 |
| Scopey | ssta: btw after i'm done doing this i'm formatting the xfs drive | 22:25 |
| ssta | Scopey: did you do: chown username directory ? | 22:26 |
| ssta | umm, -R | 22:26 |
| ssta | chown -R username directory | 22:26 |
| Scopey | i did sudo chown -R MYUSERNAME /media/xyz | 22:26 |
| ssta | I don't know how xfs handles users | 22:26 |
| Scopey | ssta: and it returned with chown: invalid user: 'USERNAME' | 22:27 |
| ssta | Scopey: yeah, that should have worked. Maybe xfs doesn't do ownership like that, I don't know | 22:27 |
| danny_ | how do i install .deb files through the terminal | 22:27 |
| Seryth | Gentoo64: Ah, k, thanks. :) I'll let you know if it works. | 22:27 |
| OerHeks | danny_, sudo dpkg -i <package>.deb | 22:28 |
| init | danny_ dpkg --install <debpath> | 22:28 |
| danny_ | ha do they both work ? | 22:28 |
| Scopey | ssta: so it's something to do with how xfs sets permissions? not with my username | 22:28 |
| ssta | Scopey: I imagine so, yes. I don't know much about xfs though. | 22:29 |
| BenPA | yumbo: it didn't work but the rfkill hardware is no longer blocked | 22:29 |
| init | danny_ yes | 22:29 |

| prower | hello :> i'm trying to change my default version of ruby to 1.9.1 so that i can set up a rails application in 11.10...can anyone point me to a ubuntu-specific guide on how to do that? | 22:29 |
| Scopey | ssta: alright thats fine I can live with the files I lost | 22:30 |
| ssta | Scopey: they're there. If you want to copy ALL the files, that's easy | 22:30 |
| Scopey | ssta: as in the entire drive? | 22:30 |
| Scopey | ssta: thats basically what i want to do | 22:30 |
| ssta | Scopey: sudo cp -a /mnt/xyz /home/USERNAME/xyz | 22:31 |
| ssta | then: chown USERNAME /home/USERNAME/xyz | 22:31 |
| ssta | umm, -R | 22:31 |
| ssta | chown -R USERNAME /home/USERNAME/xyz | 22:31 |
| SlayersZ | how do you have multiple emacs windows with just one terminal? | 22:31 |
| ssta | umm, sudo in front of the chown | 22:31 |
| ssta | damn, I must be getting tired | 22:31 |
| ssta | sorry | 22:31 |
| Scopey | ssta: what exactly will this do, so for instance i want to copy the contents of the xyz drive to the hard drive with the name Media | 22:32 |
| Gentoo64 | SlayersZ, tmux | 22:32 |
| Gentoo64 | oetc | 22:32 |
| _NiC | SlayersZ, you can at least use screen. | 22:32 |
| ssta | Scopey: to your home directory, or somewhere else? | 22:32 |
| Scopey | ssta: to a different drive | 22:32 |
| ssta | Scopey: where's the differentr drive mounted? | 22:33 |
| Scopey | ssta: it's listed on the GUI under devices as Media | 22:33 |
| zaxonspox | hello, can sbdy tell my why PiTiVi refuse to render a DVD imported clip? It stops at beginning saing "Rendering" and doing nothing | 22:33 |
| ssta | probably /media/Media then I imagine... | 22:33 |
| ssta | try: sudo cp -a /media/xyz/* /media/Media | 22:34 |
| ssta | it will take a long time, 2TB of data is a fair chunk | 22:34 |
| _NiC | Scopey, a 'mount' or 'df' should show you where it's been mounted. | 22:34 |
| Scopey | ssta: should i see something happening in this time? i put in the command and there's just an empty line right now | 22:35 |
| ssta | Scopey: that meansit's working | 22:35 |
| _NiC | Scopey, add -v to see what it does. | 22:35 |
| ssta | Scopey: as long as it doesn't stop with an error, it's doing stuff. You should be able to see files appearing in Media now | 22:35 |
| _NiC | I tend to prefer rsync over cp when I copy lots of stuff | 22:36 |
| ssta | _NiC: I'm trying not to overload him... | 22:36 |
| _NiC | :) | 22:36 |
| Loshki | zaxonspox: also try #pitivi | 22:36 |
| ssta | _NiC: he's struggling with the idea of cp -a, let's not stick rsync -HavP into the mix, eh? :) | 22:36 |
| _NiC | hehe | 22:37 |
| Raymond_ | is ./configure a file or a command | 22:37 |
| Scopey | _NiC thanks for the tips, ssta is explaining it like he's explaining to a retard because i'm literally on day alpha and omega with linux | 22:37 |
| _NiC | Raymond_, well.. a file. | 22:37 |
| _NiC | Raymond_, that you can run. | 22:37 |

| agentgasmask | Hi all. I remember reading before how to get a program to launch once you login, insted of gnome (or whatever wm you are useing). It was just a simple edit of a file like .xsession or something... Any tips? | 22:38 |

| Bisu[Shield] | I am using ubuntu 11.10 | 22:42 |
| excelsior | is there a package for teachers to make test question banks and create tests? | 22:42 |
| Loshki | Bisu[Shield]: that's ok, you answered my question. web@domain.com is pretty generic. Did it never offer to have you enter some other email when you installed it? | 22:43 |

| Xourii | sdsds: Yeah, I'm new to it too, but I rarely come across a command line when doing things I'd do at school (word processing, web browsing, GIMP) | 23:31 |
| eutheria | Jordan_U, boot screen, not grub | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | eutheria: Then you're looking for "plymouth" and whatever plymouth theme you want to use. A standard install of Ubuntu comes with a plymouth theme by default though, so I don't know why you'd need to install it yourself. | 23:32 |
| sdsds | there's stuff like linux class where they teach you linux specifically | 23:32 |
| eutheria | Jordan_U, because i didn't do a standard install | 23:33 |
| Sharpclaw | Hey, guys! I'm here for any questions related to Ubuntu. | 23:33 |
| Jordan_U | Sharpclaw: You don't need to (and shouldn't) announce yourself. Just wait for someone to ask a question you know the answer to, and answer it :) | 23:33 |
| AzoteLogiko | lol | 23:34 |
| Sharpclaw | Jordan_U: Oh. Ok. First time on the IRC channel. | 23:34 |
| Dajepp | Hi all - I am having wifi trouble - just installed a new WLAN card in my dell (xubuntu) and I cant get it to find any networks - any ideas? BTW i have ald=ready installed wicd and uninstalled network | 23:34 |
| Xourii | sdsds: I'm an average 13-year-old, and I can figure it all out without a class. I'm pretty sure most competent kids could, although I could use a little class on it. Our computers teacher should be teaching us stuff like this. | 23:34 |
| sdsds | Xourii: cute | 23:35 |
| ssta | sdsds: you can't really learn more than the basics from a class...most of it is experience | 23:36 |
| Xourii | sdsds: ? | 23:36 |
| Kentrel | I messed about with audio settings, and now I've noticed that there's a huge latency in audio in Quakelive using Firefox | 23:37 |
| Kentrel | Not sure how to fix it or if it's even an Ubuntu issue | 23:37 |

| Kimble | Hey. Has anyone re-compiled their kernel for ext2 compression support? If so, how stable/effective is it? | 23:40 |
| ejv | try and find out, im sure there are benchmarks online; ext2 itself is rather antiquated. | 23:41 |
| Xourii | Anyone know of some desktops that look a bit like Win7 or OSX? | 23:41 |
| kasii | kirukiruuukiruuu | 23:41 |
| ejv | Xourii: there's fluxbox, wmii, lxde, gnome, kde, xfce, take your pick | 23:41 |
| tankre | hello everybody | 23:41 |
| Xourii | ejv: and that's for Ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| Kimble | ejv: yes, it is antiquated. But I tried btrfs, and ran into problems, and reiser4 I think requires a lot of work to install - not to mention its future is doubtful. | 23:42 |

| spivwaq | Hello: any way to have 2 different wallpapers on a dual display with 11.10? | 23:43 |
| ejv | gimp :) | 23:43 |
| ejv | stick them together, save as one file, voila! | 23:44 |
| Kimble | ejv: as for "try and find out" - the whole point of asking here is that it's a lot of work, not to mention a learning curve, for me to just "try and find out." | 23:44 |
| kasii | bobo37773, | 23:44 |
| kasii | am here | 23:44 |
| kasii | bobo37773, | 23:45 |
| ejv | Kimble: im sorry, you sounded rather experienced. and on any modern multiple core cpu + the advent of virtualization; compiling multiple kernels and benchmarking is trivial. | 23:45 |
| cordyceps | lubuntu-11.10 doesnt have startup disk creator. How do I get it? | 23:46 |
| acerimmer | tankre: greetings | 23:46 |
| Kimble | ejv: sure, probably. But unfortunately, I'm not that experienced, and I was hoping to forego the whole compile process, not to mention learning how to do it, by asking here whether it was worth my while. | 23:46 |
| bobo37773 | kasii: Hey | 23:47 |
| ejv | Kimble: what exactly made you aware of ext2's compression ability | 23:47 |
| h4ckm3th32nd | hello | 23:47 |
| walden | so i'm planning to back up a bunch of files from within windows to a USB drive. if i want to access these files from ubuntu later, should i format the drive as FAT32 or NTFS? | 23:47 |
| bobo37773 | kasii: pm me | 23:47 |
| Kimble | I think it was listed as a footnote on the Wikipedia webpage that lists and compares filesystems. | 23:47 |
| walden | it seems like ubuntu's NTFS support is pretty good now right? | 23:47 |
| acerimmer | h4ckm3th32nd: greetings | 23:47 |
| ejv | either is fine walden | 23:47 |
| ejv | if you want to be absolutely certain but give up large file support, FAT32 it is | 23:48 |
| Kimble | oh, wait, NTFS support is pretty mature on Ub? Does it support fs-level compression? | 23:48 |
| za3k | I am having trouble with a boot to xdm. Is this the right room to ask? | 23:48 |
| walden | ejv: what sort of large file support am i giving up by going to FAT32? | 23:49 |
| Kimble | I specifically mean the Linux implementation - I know NTFS supports compression. | 23:49 |
| walden | also, could long filenames or funny characters still cause issues? | 23:49 |
| walden | Kimble: eh, i'd be wary of using compressed NTFS filesystems with ubuntu, but i am the conservative sort | 23:50 |
| ejv | walden: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#Size_limits | 23:50 |
| Kimble | thanks walden. It's not for anything critical. If nothing else meets my needs, I'll give it a shot. | 23:50 |
| ejv | i'm a conduit to wikipedia today | 23:50 |
| ejv | people are getting lazy :) | 23:50 |
| Phong_ | ejv i did install but why i cant connect??? | 23:50 |
| walden | hmm 2GB files are the limit? | 23:51 |
| Phong_ | it keep asking for user and pass | 23:51 |
| ejv | Phong_: how should I know? | 23:51 |
| Kimble | ejv: don't be afraid to just tell people to Google or Wikipedia it if you don't know off-hand :) | 23:51 |
| walden | i suppose that means my 10gb wubi install won't fit on FAT32 | 23:51 |
| ejv | Kimble: for that particular question, I did know, but I prefer to present the tablated data depending on sector density for him | 23:52 |
| Xourii | does the Ubuntu software center have a minimum reqs area for games? | 23:52 |
| walden | i could also copy the files from within ubuntu, but for some reason i "trust" windows to back up those NTFS files more | 23:52 |
| cordyceps | lubuntu-11.10 doesnt have startup disk creator. How do I get it? | 23:52 |
| ejv | Xourii: software center and/or synaptic are 'smart' enough to assemble the dependency graph for any software you want. | 23:52 |
| Xourii | ejv: Can you dumb it down a little for me? | 23:53 |
| ejv | walden: basically anything over a 4GB file, and you'll hit the hard limit on filesize, that doesn't mean you can't have a 200G FAT32 partition though. go nuts. | 23:53 |
| Phong_ | ejv ok when i do ftp from windows 7 , it display proFTPD | 23:54 |
| ejv | Xourii: software center will install anything you need, when you try to install the game you want. | 23:54 |
| Jordan_U | Xourii: When you say "reqs" are you asking about CPU/GPU/RAM requirements for games? | 23:54 |
| za3k | Xourii: If there's anything you need to install a game, it will automatically be installed. | 23:54 |
| Kimble | walden: go meshuga :) | 23:54 |
| Phong_ | is proftpd part of ubuntu? | 23:54 |
| walden | Kimble: meshuga? | 23:54 |
| Xourii | Jordan_U: yes. | 23:54 |
| Kimble | walden: Yiddish for "mad" or "nuts". | 23:55 |
| walden | ah hmm | 23:55 |
| Kimble | I was quoting "Inside Man", cos of what ejv said :) | 23:55 |
| Phong_ | ejv? | 23:55 |
| ejv | you don't *need* proftpd if you have openssh-server listening on 22, you can just weild SFTP instead. | 23:55 |
| Phong_ | well how to get it out? | 23:55 |
| roadfish | I have two Ubuntu machines hooked up with an ethernet-cable (no router) and want to view videos from the first on the second. I saw suggestions of NFS, Samba, and some ideas involving SSH. I already have openssh-server setup up-and-running on the first PC. So, what is the best approach to get video watching? | 23:55 |
| walden | i guess NTFS -> NTFS from within windows is the safest bet | 23:55 |
| Phong_ | how to uninstall proftpd then? | 23:56 |
| walden | though i'd like to get all this stuff on a ext3 fileserver eventually | 23:56 |
| ejv | i have no idea what the proftpd package is called, I assume `apt-get remove proftpd` | 23:56 |
| Phong_ | hmmm | 23:56 |
| cordyceps | lubuntu-11.10 here. Synaptic doesn't list startup-disk-creator. How do I get it? | 23:56 |
| Kimble | lol, poor ejv - 1520 users "online", and he's taking the brunt of all the questions. Don'cha love bouncers? | 23:57 |
| ejv | stop me if im wrong, but don't you need a 'cross-over' cable with no router; i don't think a standard ethernet cable is sufficent to connect two machines directly. | 23:57 |
| ejv | roadfish ^ | 23:57 |
| za3k | ejv: No, most modern card will automatically correct. | 23:58 |
| cordyceps | za3k: first I heard. What do yu mean modern? | 23:58 |
| ejv | i don't think that's true... | 23:58 |
| roadfish | ejv:ah, a bit debate that I encountered. But no you do not ... my new computers have build-in-ethernet tat includes "auto-sense". | 23:58 |
| * ejv shrugs | 23:59 | |
| Jordan_U | Xourii: No, there is no such area that I'm aware of. | 23:59 |
| roadfish | cordyceps:my two PCs are 2005 and 2011 ... and the ethernet-cable (not crossover) just works. | 23:59 |
