| zykotick9 | Elssha: FYI artichoku steps don't seem to add anything (if grub is already installed, and i believe it is) over just running "update-grub" from your install. Well, best of luck. | 00:02 |

| artichoku | zykotick9: got them from ubuntu. i'll message the poster and tell him it don't work | 00:03 |
| Elssha | then how do i update the grub to include the windows partition | 00:03 |
| hydrox24 | Elssha: it should automatically detect it. | 00:03 |
| zykotick9 | artichoku: those steps are great, for reinstalling grub - but that's not really the issue. Elssha | 00:03 |

| hydrox24 | Elssha: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 00:06 |
| artichoku | Elssha, could you edit boot/grub/custom.cfg | 00:06 |

| Elssha | one sec; the irc is not on the netbook with the problem | 00:06 |
| artichoku | and add it manually | 00:06 |
| hydrox24 | Elssha: just follow the instructions, then paste the output to pastebin, then give us the link | 00:06 |
| hydrox24 | artichoku: that's a bad idea with grub2, the changes wont survive update-grub. | 00:07 |
| artichoku | ahhh | 00:07 |
| artichoku | sry i'm a little rusty | 00:07 |

| zykotick9 | SolarNRT: just register and get support in the correct channel, #backtrack-linux | 00:22 |
| artichoku | ok the only way you're going to see your windows files, is to install backtrack to it's own partition | 00:22 |

| zykotick9 | !notunity | JermBob | 00:37 |
| ubottu | JermBob: 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 | 00:37 |

| alberto | i installed ubuntu 11.10 and after that i installed lubuntu-desktop | 00:43 |
| gh0strider | hey i was hoping that someone could help me out with a networking question i have, does the public ip address assigned to you by your isp route back to your router/modem or does it essentially route back to your isp? See i know that unless you setup port forwarding on your router your public ip addy does not go back to you so which does it route back to your isp your your modem/router? | 00:43 |
| Alice | hence, my questions of 'who is connected to my wifi network' | 00:44 |
| dies_irae | Alice: I don't get it. | 00:44 |
| Alice | either do I! | 00:44 |
| alberto | and now unity doesn't start automatically anymore, any idea on how to fix that? | 00:44 |
| dies_irae | Alice: basically never managed to get it to work? | 00:44 |
| hydrox24 | dies_irae: I realized that as I hit enter, thus the apology soon after. | 00:44 |
| usr13 | gh0strider: IP addresses don't route, routers do. | 00:44 |
| bobweaver | Alice: look at airodump ? or nmap ? or netstat . | 00:44 |

| someone6_6 | zykotick9: i wanna know which linux dist' i should install on eeepc netbook cuz it haz 1.6ghz cpu and 1gb ram , and i want a updated drivers dist | 00:45 |
| gh0strider | usr13: you get what i mean... | 00:45 |
| usr13 | gh0strider: Yes | 00:45 |
| Superbest | bobweaver, also I simply rebooted, and tried it again, and this time I managed to copy over my files just fine for some reason, so don't worry | 00:45 |
| dies_irae | Alice: so the problem lies in the macbook side or PC side? | 00:45 |
| bobweaver | Superbest: \o/ | 00:45 |
| usr13 | You need to set up port forwarding | 00:45 |
| Alice | Trying to figure that out now, dies. | 00:46 |
| gh0strider | so if someone port scans your public ip address are they scanning your router/modem or are they scanning you isp? | 00:46 |
| zykotick9 | someone6_6: you shouldn't have put my name in your question, people will think i'm helping you. Use any distro you want, Ubuntu is obviously going to be a favourite in this channel ;) | 00:46 |
| usr13 | gh0strider: Depends | 00:46 |
| Alice | depends if you have a dmz or not | 00:46 |
| Alice | ghost | 00:46 |
| usr13 | But more-than-likely, they are scaning your modem | 00:46 |
| usr13 | The modem is the device that is usuing the outside IP | 00:47 |
| someone6_6 | zykotick9: yeah, i like xubuntu netbook edition very much, but it require 1.6ghz and 1gb ram in the first place | 00:47 |
| gh0strider | so if someone had a dos app and your public ip address and they started to dos your public ip address they would be dos'ing your router/modem at your home? | 00:47 |
| hydrox24 | someone6_6: you can always try lubuntu | 00:47 |
| usr13 | gh0strider: Yes | 00:48 |
| [deXter] | gh0strider, dos = disk operating system. I presume what you're talking about is DoS. | 00:48 |
| someone6_6 | !g lubuntu | 00:48 |
| hydrox24 | someone6_6: that's designed to be ligter. But then you've got options like meego which I am unknowledgable about | 00:48 |
| someone6_6 | hydrox24: u mean kubuntu ? | 00:48 |
| hydrox24 | [deXter]: I think gh0strider meant ddos | 00:48 |
| usr13 | [deXter]: no | 00:48 |
| hydrox24 | someone6_6: no, lubuntu | 00:48 |
| someone6_6 | hydrox24: never heard of it | 00:49 |

| hydrox24 | someone6_6: someone6_6 http://lubuntu.net/ | 00:49 |
| gh0strider | denial of service not distributed denial | 00:49 |
| [deXter] | usr13, ? | 00:49 |
| Mike9863 | My touchpad doesn't work sometimes and I'm forced to enter this command into terminal: xinput set-int-prop 13 "Synaptics Off" 8 0. Sometimes however this command does not even work. Can anyone help me find out what's causing my touchpad not to work and find a permanent solution? | 00:49 |
| usr13 | DeviceZer0: Denial-of-service attack | 00:49 |
| [deXter] | gh0strider, again, it's DoS not dos. | 00:49 |
| hydrox24 | [deXter]: THat's what I meant (I think you know) | 00:49 |
| someone6_6 | hydrox24: it supports all the updated drivers ? cuz i wanna make sure it support the mother board's 3G connector | 00:50 |
| hydrox24 | [deXter]: please don | 00:50 |
| gh0strider | [deXter]: a bit anal are we? | 00:50 |
| [deXter] | It's not very hard to type it the proper way.. especially given that there are other products using the same acronyms. | 00:50 |
| hydrox24 | [deXter]: please don't be like that, its not in the spirit of this channel, unless you are providing specific directions. | 00:50 |
| [deXter] | hydrox24, No one calls it "dos". It's stupid, and doesn't take any extra effort to type it as "DoS". | 00:51 |
| hydrox24 | someone6_6: all the same ones as ubuntu | 00:51 |
| usr13 | [deXter]: It's not a big deal, but he is obviously not talking about "disk operating system" | 00:51 |
| hydrox24 | someone6_6: they are the sam systems, just with different GUI (Graphical User Interfaces) on the top. | 00:51 |
| someone6_6 | hydrox24: so whats the system requirements? | 00:52 |
| hydrox24 | someone6_6: This is mostly becuase a big vhunk of disk space & power is used up by the GUI/ window manager these days. | 00:52 |
| zykotick9 | hydrox24: well, technically, it's the same GUI (meaning Xorg) with different DEs (desktop environments) on top. But I know what you meant ;) | 00:52 |
| Superbest | >complain about acronym casing | 00:52 |
| Superbest | >don't capitalize first letter in sentences | 00:53 |

| === Gskellig|away is now known as Gskellig | ||
| hydrox24 | gh0strider: so what was the original question about Denial of service attacks? | 00:54 |
| someone6_6 | hydrox24: so i should get the alternative or desktop ? | 00:54 |
| StepNjump | Sorry guys, I pressed the wrong key | 00:54 |
| StepNjump | Question: I lost my sound strangely I didn't do anything special... what could I do? | 00:56 |
| Superbest | hydrox24, "If someone DoSes your home IP address, do they DoS your modem at your home?" | 00:56 |
| Superbest | think the answer is yes | 00:56 |
| usr13 | StepNjump: Run alsamixer and see what you get | 00:56 |
| someone6_6 | hydrox24: i should just stay with xubuntu netbook edition since its designed for netbook resulution and more stuff | 00:56 |
| gh0strider | hydrox24: it really wasn't a question about "DoS" attacks it was more of question about networking and routing | 00:56 |
| StepNjump | ok usr13 | 00:57 |
| gh0strider | also my big question is "if someone is port scanning your public ip address, are they scanning your home router/modem or are they scanning your isp" ? | 00:57 |
| zykotick9 | gh0strider: home router/firewall. | 00:58 |
| bobweaver | gh0strider: Firewall ? proxy ? tor? squid ? | 00:58 |
| JermBob | i ran wubi | 00:58 |

| JermBob | to | 00:59 |
| JermBob | yo | 00:59 |
| grendal-prime | hey this seems odd but..umm i did a 10.04 32 bit install. (desktop) everything seems to have gone ok..but most of the icons in the menus dont exist. | 00:59 |
| bobweaver | JermBob: you want to run windows and ubuntu inside it ? what is your ram ? | 00:59 |
| grendal-prime | alot of system stuff doesnt exist. | 00:59 |
| JermBob | 2gig | 00:59 |
| bobweaver | virtual box ? | 00:59 |
| guest-XwFTde | Hi! | 01:00 |
| StepNjump | usr13: Iin sound preferences, there is nothing in the hardware tab | 01:01 |
| JermBob | bobweaver i heard that wubi is a windows installer that will allow for it to be run like a windows application ? | 01:01 |
| bobweaver | JermBob: yes that is correct | 01:01 |
| JermBob | is that just a installer for ubuntu that runs on windows that then you boot to run ubuntu ? | 01:01 |
| bobweaver | JermBob: virtual box = virtualbox.org | 01:02 |
| mkjackson1 | hey folks, I've got an issue with my sound in ubuntu 11.10, is this the right place to ask? | 01:02 |
| zykotick9 | JermBob: Wubi isn't the greatest idea ever. It makes ubuntu reliant on windows... Dual-booting is better if you plan to keep your install. If you just want to "try" ubuntu, wubi is fine (easy removal). | 01:02 |
| dlentz | ask! | mkjackson1 | 01:02 |
| bobweaver | !qumu | 01:02 |
| bobweaver | !qemu | 01:02 |
| ubottu | qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo | 01:02 |
| zykotick9 | mkjackson1: yes, ask your question - with as much details as possible. DON'T reply to me though. | 01:02 |
| JermBob | zykotick9 im under the impression i can run a ubuntu shell from a usb stick within windows | 01:03 |
| mkjackson1 | dlentz: gotcha, sometimes I'm not sure if I'm in just a general discussion room or whatever... here we go | 01:03 |
| zykotick9 | JermBob: maybe? | 01:03 |
| JermBob | zykotick9 fair comment | 01:03 |
| JermBob | haha | 01:03 |
| JermBob | anyway | 01:03 |
| zykotick9 | JermBob: i'd personally suggest the same as bobweaver use VBox | 01:04 |
| hydrox24 | JermBob: you'll need a VirtualMachine, or maybe your talking about the BASH for windows project? | 01:04 |
| mkjackson1 | I was EXTREMELY excited to see that my xps laptop (m1730) had digital output supported on the sound card for my entertainment center... but then I moved to another room with it, switched over to the regular speakers and now neither work | 01:04 |
| mkjackson1 | :-/ | 01:04 |
| mkjackson1 | I only get right channel on analog and digital is a lost cause | 01:04 |
| JermBob | hydrox24 yeah this is all making sense now with the whole vm stuff | 01:04 |
| hydrox24 | mkjackson1: try fiddling with the pulseaudio volume control | 01:04 |
| Nanpalathet | exit | 01:04 |
| hydrox24 | Nanpalathet: try /quit | 01:05 |
| Nanpalathet | thanks | 01:05 |
| jeffmoss | hey what's the best way to disable all the desktop stuff and just get a classic terminal login? | 01:05 |
| jeffmoss | changing run level doesn't do what I thought it would | 01:05 |
| zykotick9 | !text | jeffmoss | 01:05 |
| ubottu | jeffmoss: 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 | 01:05 |
| mkjackson1 | hydrox24: is that better than the gnome-alsamixer? | 01:05 |
| zykotick9 | !runlevels | jeffmoss | 01:05 |
| ubottu | jeffmoss: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 01:05 |
| === log is now known as rebeccablack | ||
| hydrox24 | jeffmoss: you'll need to add some boot lines | 01:06 |
| dlentz | the pulseaudio voulme control can be tricky, with having to raise one volume level above the other (right/left) | 01:06 |
| hydrox24 | mkjackson1: I'ts higher level, more advanced and more user friendly... so mayb | 01:06 |
| === JoeGazz84 is now known as LadyGaga | ||
| dlentz | that's why i only use alsa on my debian install :P | 01:06 |
| hydrox24 | dlentz: theres a lock button nect to the volumes that adjust both at the same rate... | 01:06 |
| zykotick9 | dlentz: for ubuntu using Pulse is more-or-less "required" | 01:06 |
| === LadyGaga is now known as jg84 | ||
| hydrox24 | gtg | 01:07 |
| jeffmoss | hydrox24: which file can I edit to put this "text" as the default? | 01:07 |
| dlentz | hydrox24, i've seen quite a few reports of having to raise one above the other to get sound (usually input sound i think) | 01:07 |
| mkjackson1 | i ran "pavucontrol" in the terminal and when I move the sliders I see a DEBUG error "ignoring sink-input due to it being designated an event..." | 01:07 |
| === X_ is now known as FreeNET | ||
| hydrox24 | jeffmoss: edit the kernel bootline, you'll have to do it from grub | 01:08 |
| jeffmoss | ok, so I have to reboot and do it that way, got it | 01:08 |
| dlentz | jeffmoss, to make boot flags permanent, you uise /etc/default.grub | 01:08 |
| dlentz | /etc/default/grub | 01:08 |
| === JermBob is now known as JERMBOBACKSOON | ||
| jeffmoss | so "quiet splash text" ought to do it? | 01:09 |
| zykotick9 | jeffmoss: after editing /etc/default/grub you need to run "sudo update-grub" for the changes to take effect. | 01:09 |
| dlentz | zykotick9, i always forget to tell them that (thanks) | 01:09 |
| bobweaver | anyone know about update-rc.d and how to use it ? I am confused Oo | 01:10 |
| Rictoo | hello, i am trying to enable the nvidia binary drivers. in "additional drivers" it says "the driver is activated but not in use". | 01:10 |
| Rictoo | in xorg.conf, the nvidia driver is selected. i have an nvidia gt 240 | 01:10 |
| zykotick9 | Rictoo: if the driver is working, just ignore that message. | 01:10 |
| dlentz | Rictoo, that's a common bug | 01:10 |
| Rictoo | compiz compositing works - does that mean the driver is working? | 01:11 |

| dlentz | mg_, do you mean 'shift'? | 01:12 |
| bobweaver | gsr: It is used on statrup scripts ? like stuff on boot ? | 01:12 |
| gsr | bobweaver: in part. it controls services | 01:13 |
| gsr | ie update-rc.d -f apache2 remove would remove all apache2 startup scripts | 01:13 |

| mg_ | zykotick9: now that you ask I am a bit uncertain but atleast shift + 4 on "Norwegian (Macintosh)" gives this: ¤ | 01:16 |
| hydrox24 | what does ot stand for? | 01:17 |
| Mike9863 | hydrox24: I think I've tried that. I find it's not as good as smooth scrolling in Windows, and nowhere near Mac's. | 01:17 |
| Meow_ | bot/ | 01:17 |

| zykotick9 | mg_: on a NorthAmerican keyboard it's a non-issue, SHIFT+<requiredkey>. Alt is seldom used... | 01:20 |

| Pablo-bs | hola | 01:31 |
| Pablo-bs | que tal? | 01:31 |
| Pablo-bs | alguna chica para chatear? | 01:31 |
| overclucker | Dralid: in fdisk make sure the partition you created is type 83, then use mkfs.ext4 /dev/partition# | 01:31 |
| bobweaver | !es | Pablo-bs | 01:31 |
| ubottu | Pablo-bs: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 01:31 |
| Pablo-bs | girls? | 01:31 |
| pedahzur | So, I know about system76, and like what I've heard and read. Does anyone have any other pointers for a reliable, established vendor that sells works-with-ubunut laptops? | 01:32 |
| Nach0z | Pablo-bs: no aqui, hombre. | 01:32 |
| flowerpot | So if services-admin is gone, sysv-rc-conf and bum are both incompatible with Upstart, what's the supported method for managing services in Ubuntu now? | 01:32 |
| StepNjump | I lost my audio.. the only thing I have done is do a ./configuration and make on package curl-7.20.0.tar.gz (not even make install).. Of course nothing shows in dpkg. Could these events be related? | 01:32 |
| mae-ubu1004 | Can somebody recommend me a mkv player for Xubuntu 10.04 ? | 01:32 |
| Dralid | overclucker: ext4 is not supported by TomatoUSB :) | 01:33 |
| mg_ | mae-ubu1004: vlc? | 01:33 |
| Nach0z | mae-ubu1004: VLC | 01:33 |
| hydrox24 | flowerpot: use the services command | 01:33 |

| SolarNRT | Can I make a virtual wifi card in VMware for linus? | 01:36 |
| SolarNRT | linux | 01:36 |
| hydrox24 | flowerpot: it allows you to start/stop/restart and get the status of services | 01:36 |
| bobweaver | SolarNRT: yes | 01:36 |
| SolarNRT | how? | 01:36 |
| bobweaver | qemu and virtual box atleast | 01:36 |
| SolarNRT | when i go airmon-ng start wlan0 it only finds a dcpclient | 01:37 |
| bobweaver | bridged ? | 01:37 |
| Pyro-Repo | okay lads, i've got a slight problem, i have tried , i have searched and read, but my rtorrent-0.8.6, will not compile from source with xml-rpc on my Ubuntu 10.04(32bit server | 01:38 |
| zykotick9 | bobweaver: be aware that SolarNRT is not using ubuntu (but a based on ubuntu distro) | 01:38 |
| Pyro-Repo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/823324/ | 01:38 |
| bobweaver | thanks zykotick9 | 01:38 |
| bobweaver | let me guess backtrack | 01:38 |
| zykotick9 | 10 points | 01:38 |
| RsB_ | Before I enter a bug, I want to make sure it is not a feature. In the system settings under network, if you set the setting to automatic, you are not prompted for password. Changing to the other 2 settings do prompt which I think is desired behavior. | 01:39 |
| zykotick9 | Pyro-Repo: why are you compiling rtorrent? Isn't that the version in Lucid already? | 01:40 |
| RsB_ | sorry, proxy setting to automatic | 01:40 |
| SolarNRT | sorry dhclient3 is all airmon-ng start wlan0 comes up with | 01:40 |
| Pyro-Repo | zykotick9: because i want to use Rutorrent, which require it to run xml-rpc, which needs it to be compiled with it | 01:41 |
| SolarNRT | ahem ubuntu | 01:41 |
| zykotick9 | Pyro-Repo: ahh, well good luck. | 01:41 |
| hydrox24 | RsB_: I guess the password is on the other two is to stop evasion of prxies | 01:41 |
| hydrox24 | RsB_: Does it ask for a password if you change it from manual to automatic | 01:42 |
| RsB_ | I thought about that but why password protect setting to 'none'? | 01:42 |
| Pyro-Repo | but from these errors, what is is expectring that it is not getting | 01:42 |
| RsB_ | No, going from anything to auto, no password, anything to the other 2 it prompts | 01:42 |
| hydrox24 | RsB_: Thanks for offering to report it, I suggest you go ahead and file the report | 01:43 |
| RsB_ | ok, I just didn't want to waste anybody's time if it was on purpose.. thanks for the quick answer | 01:44 |
| RsB_ | Thanks again hydrox24 | 01:44 |
| StepNjump | Could someone tell me what this does please? sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2 | 01:45 |
| flowerpot | hydrox24, but how would I tell the system to start program X under conditions Y? In the SysV world I would like to say "start sshd in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5 and stop it in runlevels 0, 1, and 6" - how do I do that in Upstart? | 01:46 |
| bobweaver | `uname -r ` is kernel version ? | 01:46 |
| overclucker | Pyro-Repo: see if installing libxmlrpc-c3 and libxmlrpc-c3-dev helps. you'll need to make clean and configure again | 01:46 |
| StepNjump | I lost my audio, I hope it will fix it | 01:47 |
| StepNjump | another reboot! | 01:47 |
| hydrox24 | flowerpot: ok, that isn't what the service command is used for, but are you aware of rc.d? | 01:47 |
| flowerpot | hydrox24, yes, but that paradigm is SysV, not Upstart. Upstart doesn't use rc.d directories or runlevels, as I understand it. Isn't that right? | 01:48 |
| Pyro-Repo | overclucker: i found out, and doing the opposite of what you said was tha answer, the build'ed one and the ubuntu one overlapped, even though i did not know it was there | 01:48 |
| Pyro-Repo | overclucker: thanks for your input anyways ^^ | 01:49 |

| dlentz | !root | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 02:28 |
| iMoon | su root will only work if root is not locked, and unlocking root is dangerous. | 02:28 |
| zykotick9 | !text | sunrunner20 | 02:28 |
| ubottu | sunrunner20: 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 | 02:28 |

| iMoon | North, what is the name of the user of whom the files are on? | 02:36 |

| troy- | i am trying to install from USB - the installer says "your installation cd-rom could not be mounted" | 03:20 |
| hydrox24 | troy-: what version of ubuntu? | 03:20 |
| troy- | ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64+mac.iso | 03:20 |
| hydrox24 | your trying to install on a mac? | 03:21 |
| hydrox24 | or just amd64 | 03:21 |
| troy- | amd64 | 03:21 |
| hydrox24 | ok | 03:21 |
| ariane5 | i have the same | 03:21 |
| ariane5 | hardware problem | 03:21 |
| urlin2u | troy-, saw a suggestion yesterday to use a minimal net install as there may be kernel problems | 03:21 |
| hydrox24 | and so the USB is booting fine, but at what point during the install does it throw the error? | 03:21 |
| urlin2u | troy-, same symptoms | 03:21 |
| troy- | after i have selected keyboard layout and lang | 03:22 |
| ariane5 | mainboard not boot usb | 03:22 |
| troy- | hydrox24: i'm sure there is a way to manually mount the fs in cli - i just dont know how | 03:22 |
| ariane5 | not the same | 03:22 |
| troy- | having trouble identifying the usb hdd in /dev | 03:23 |
| hydrox24 | troy-: so do you boot all the way into the live USB or just choose install from the USB boot menu? | 03:23 |
| troy- | and there is no fdisk :P | 03:23 |
| troy- | all the way into the live usb | 03:23 |
| hydrox24 | ok | 03:23 |
| zykotick9 | hydrox24: notice the alternate in troy's iso? | 03:23 |
| hydrox24 | zykotick9: ahh thanks | 03:24 |
| troy- | what have i done :( | 03:24 |
| FesterJester | hydrox24: I think troy- has the wrong iso image | 03:24 |
| GTRsdk2 | alright | 03:24 |
| hydrox24 | FesterJester: no, he seems to know his way around | 03:24 |
| GTRsdk2 | so I had an instance of xchat open, then I killed lxpanel... Is there a way to get back to the earlier instance of XChat? | 03:24 |
| hydrox24 | troy-: what about gparted? | 03:24 |
| FesterJester | hydrox24: I thought the +mac isos were for the apple computers only? | 03:25 |
| researcher123 | how do I know how much RAM my system has | 03:25 |
| hydrox24 | FesterJester: OR amd64 | 03:25 |
| zykotick9 | researcher123: "free" in a terminal will show you | 03:25 |
| GTRsdk2 | researcher123: sysinfo may know | 03:25 |
| hydrox24 | troy-: If you go: ls /dev/disk/by-label/ | 03:26 |
| hydrox24 | troy-: that may help | 03:26 |
| zykotick9 | troy-: i'd suggest you get the regular amd64 LiveCD iso, if you're using a USB install | 03:26 |
| FesterJester | hydrox24: Oh. Thanks for the tip. | 03:26 |
| urlin2u | !ram | researcher123 | 03:27 |
| ubottu | researcher123: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 03:27 |
| troy- | i only have by-id and by-path -- checked both previously and they only mention the ssd (not usb) | 03:27 |
| GTRsdk2 | urlin2u: might be a good idea to see what the bot will say before command info out | 03:27 |
| troy- | zykotick9: thanks -- i'll try that | 03:28 |
| urlin2u | GTRsdk2, ??? | 03:28 |
| hydrox24 | troy-: try lsusb | 03:28 |
| researcher123 | My system was running fast but last week suddenly became slow.What can I do ? | 03:28 |
| troy- | hydrox24: too late :( i formatted the usb | 03:29 |
| GTRsdk2 | urlin2u: I don't think that was very helpful for the situation at hand | 03:29 |
| urlin2u | GTRsdk2, glad you feel that way. :D | 03:29 |
| GTRsdk2 | researcher123: did you install anything that makes it slow down? | 03:29 |
| researcher123 | GTRsdk2: Dont remember specifically | 03:30 |
| researcher123 | GTRsdk2: I often keep installing/uninstalling programs | 03:30 |
| GTRsdk2 | researcher123: do you use Ubuntu 3D or Ubuntu 2D/ | 03:30 |
| zykotick9 | researcher123: in a terminal if you run "top" what is your load at? | 03:30 |
| researcher123 | GTRsdk2: how do I know that | 03:30 |
| Mafeki | I have a sony CD=R 700MB could I fit ubuntu on that thing? | 03:31 |
| researcher123 | at top this is running- empathy,compiz | 03:31 |
| hydrox24 | troy-: oh, OK | 03:31 |
| neronin | Does anyone know how to cut an active connection from a specific ip to my server? We have a basic chat on our server and would like to be able to kick people out. I know this is a silly solution but until we have a proper solution on the front end side it would do it for now. | 03:31 |
| troy- | where can i find a list of faster mirrors? :/ | 03:31 |
| troy- | 2 hrs to download 700mb lol | 03:32 |
| urlin2u | troy-, in software sources you can search for the fastest. | 03:32 |
| Mafeki | will ubuntu fit on a 700MB CD? | 03:32 |
| FesterJester | troy: i suggest torrent | 03:32 |
| iMoon | Mafeki it should | 03:32 |
| GTRsdk2 | Mafeki: the release ISOs should | 03:33 |
| troy- | urlin2u: sorry - where is that section? | 03:33 |
| researcher123 | anyone can guide on how to regain the lost speed of a 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10 system? | 03:33 |
| ariane5 | iso is for cd or dvd | 03:33 |
| urlin2u | Mafeki, the development is oversized is all I believe for regular installs | 03:33 |
| [deXter] | neronin, what software/platform is the chat and the server running? | 03:33 |
| GTRsdk2 | ariane5: ISO is basically a disc image, whether CD, DVD, BlueRay, or even bigger | 03:33 |
| ariane5 | i know | 03:34 |
| GTRsdk2 | that's good | 03:34 |
| neronin | [deXter]: the chat is Cometchat and the server is LAMP | 03:34 |
| Mafeki | GTRsdk2, iMoon, urlin2u: It's 695.29MB for the iso. all I got to do is burn the iso on a cd? | 03:34 |
| researcher123 | how can I fully uninstall the programs which are less frequently used? | 03:34 |
| urlin2u | Mafeki, yep | 03:35 |
| FesterJester | Mafeki: yeah | 03:35 |
| iMoon | [10:33:46 PM] <iMoon> size of ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso: 695 MB (729,067,520 bytes) | 03:35 |
| urlin2u | Mafeki, choose a slower speed | 03:35 |
| iMoon | wrong channel previously lol | 03:35 |
| FesterJester | researcher123: sudo apt-get remove | 03:35 |
| neronin | [deXter]: we do know the ip's of the users so i though before we have kick solution in place we could do it the hard way for now, if it's possible | 03:35 |
| GTRsdk2 | Mafeki: you need to write it onto the CD so it isn't simply put on as one file. | 03:35 |
| Mafeki | ahh | 03:35 |
| Mafeki | I use poweriso does that burn cds I haven't checked yet? | 03:35 |
| zykotick9 | researcher123: FYI uninstalling unused programs is very unlikely to improve you system's speed... just sayin' | 03:35 |
| urlin2u | Mafeki, burn as an image | 03:36 |
| hydrox24 | troy-: try using a torrent? | 03:36 |

| [deXter] | neronin, you can use the cutter app.. it's as simple as "cutter 202.54.1.20" or w/e | 03:38 |
| Ben64 | FesterJester: the point of the !anyone thing was to say "just ask your question" | 03:38 |
| Tostada | I installed "Elementary Dark" with synaptic package manager. Now when when I open the package manager it automatically closes. Any ideas.? Thanks | 03:38 |

| FesterJester | very well, let me reword | 03:39 |

| FesterJester | Mafeki: go to the ubuntu site | 03:42 |
| Mafeki | What if the unbuntu one is larger? | 03:42 |
| scientes | Mafeki, it is not, and if it was you would still want that one as it would be the real one | 03:42 |

| urlin2u | scientes, orca? | 03:43 |
| Mafeki | What is long term support? | 03:43 |
| sudeep | hi | 03:44 |
| scientes | urlin2u, I hit command plus comething or something | 03:44 |
| GTRsdk2 | Mafeki: more than 18 months of support (in updates) | 03:44 |
| scientes | and now its side-scrolling very close | 03:44 |
| Ben64 | !lts | Mafeki | 03:44 |
| ubottu | Mafeki: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 03:44 |
| scientes | and i dont know how to get out of it, I am using 1004 | 03:44 |
| pangolin | Mafeki: use http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#bt instead | 03:44 |
| scientes | like each character is like 90 px high | 03:44 |
| scientes | and i have to move the mouse to read IRC | 03:44 |
| Mafeki | Do I want LTS? | 03:44 |
| GTRsdk2 | Mafeki: you don't have to downlaod Ubuntu from TPB... it is pretty awesome that way | 03:44 |
| Ben64 | scientes: do you have compiz | 03:45 |
| scientes | Mafeki, probably not, you want 11.10 | 03:45 |
| urlin2u | scientes, have you tried just logging out and back in since it seems to be a temporary | 03:45 |
| xangua | scientes: if you mean compiz magnifier, try: metacity --replace & | 03:45 |
| xangua | you can enable compiz latter with: compiz --replace & | 03:45 |
| scientes | urlin2u, I believe so | 03:45 |
| GTRsdk2 | Mafeki: a new LTS comes in 3 month, so you might want 11.10 | 03:45 |
| Mafeki | ah okay | 03:45 |
| scientes | xangua, good idea, should have thought about that | 03:45 |
| scientes | worked **phew** | 03:46 |

| scientes | FesterJester, don;t have a keyboard? | 03:47 |
| scientes | wait, there are better vnc clients than that | 03:48 |
| FesterJester | scientes: I do, but it will not type | 03:48 |
| FesterJester | scientes: server not client | 03:48 |
| scientes | FesterJester, there is an onscreen keyboard, in gnome-shell you can get to it from the accessability menu | 03:48 |

| rstat1 | What's a good way to write a disk image to an SD card, that doesn't use dd | 03:49 |
| zykotick9 | FesterJester: if you only have terminal, why are you using VNC? Wouldn't SSH make more sense? | 03:49 |
| zykotick9 | rstat1: cat? | 03:50 |
| scientes | rstat1, there is nothing wrong with dd | 03:50 |
| hydrox24 | FesterJester: It's normal for the password not to appear in terminal | 03:50 |
| urlin2u | rstat1, this a install? | 03:50 |
| scientes | and cat will not work with raw drives | 03:50 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: it most certainly will! | 03:50 |
| rstat1 | No there isn't I agree. But whenever I use dd the image turns out un-bootable | 03:50 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: infact, it's recommended method for the new hybrid ISOs | 03:50 |
| scientes | ooooooo, sry | 03:50 |
| rstat1 | this is a raw disk img I'm working with | 03:51 |
| urlin2u | rstat1, of what? | 03:51 |
| FesterJester | zykotick9 and hydrox24: wow, I feel dumb now. Forgot that it might work though serial login | 03:51 |
| scientes | zykotick9, is it just cat foo.iso > /dev/sdx ? | 03:51 |
| rstat1 | the mer based plasma active thing that was released a while back | 03:51 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: yup - no partition, is correct | 03:51 |
| scientes | no partition for isolinux support | 03:52 |
| troy- | torrent is fast woo | 03:52 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: it's writing to the drive, not a partition on the drive | 03:52 |
| FesterJester | troy-: good | 03:52 |
| scientes | troy-, thats cause it is backed by well-connected servers, instead of just end-users | 03:53 |
| scientes | thats why you don't really need to torrent them, I would recommend .jidgo with apt-cacher-ng (not for Live CDs) | 03:54 |
| wiel | i just tried to install a plugin by running this command "./bin/plugin -install river-couchdb", ubuntu tries to download it but fails. why? what protocol was being used? | 03:54 |
| scientes | wiel, plugin for what? | 03:54 |
| wiel | for elasticsearch | 03:54 |
| wiel | its a search engine Im hosting | 03:55 |
| scientes | not exactly sure what you are doing wiel, but strace and ltrace let you see alot of what is going on in processes, without viewing source code | 03:55 |

| Mafeki | OH like a dedicated server? | 04:04 |
| celestial | yea that or to attempt a cluster of some sorts | 04:04 |
| scientes | celestial, of course it is----using a chroot is common | 04:04 |
| scientes | you can also use pre-formatted drives, or drive image | 04:05 |
| scientes | or start using the alternative installer, and then switch to ssh with the debian-installer ssh module | 04:05 |
| === Gskellig|mobile is now known as gskellig|away | ||
| scientes | celestial, do any of those sound possible from your situation? | 04:06 |
| celestial | will remote desktop work for that so i can see whats going on | 04:06 |
| scientes | celestial, with ssh, you access it over ssh, after starting the install | 04:06 |
| scientes | (with vga or a serial console) | 04:07 |
| scientes | so text mode | 04:07 |
| scientes | otherwise, if you have an existing linux system (fedora for example) and you wish to replace it, you can use debootstrap http://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap | 04:07 |
| celestial | what package do i need for the vga or serial console that sounds like what im talking about | 04:07 |
| scientes | celestial, download the alternative installer, and select "expert install" graphical or not | 04:08 |
| harovali | hi, what user should I put in the window that opens when I point my browser to http://localhost:631 , the cups administration interface ? root does not work | 04:08 |
| scientes | and then select the ssh module when you get to that point in the install | 04:08 |
| zykotick9 | celestial: initially, you DO need a monitor/keyboard to start the install | 04:08 |
| scientes | ^^^^ | 04:08 |
| scientes | unless you use debootstrap | 04:08 |
| Armageddon | how do I edit grub configuration ? | 04:08 |
| scientes | or use an existing hard drive | 04:08 |

| zykotick9 | Armageddon: depends, but check /etc/default/grub | 04:09 |
| urlin2u | Armageddon, what's your goal to edit? | 04:09 |
| scientes | and then run setup-grub to update the real grub conf in /boot | 04:09 |
| celestial | ok then do i just connect a vga cable to my other pc | 04:09 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: the command is update-grub to update configs | 04:09 |
| scientes | whoops | 04:09 |
| scientes | i should use command completion first :) | 04:09 |
| Armageddon | urlin2u, add Gentoo ;) | 04:09 |
| scientes | Archtivity, #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:10 |

| scientes | Mafeki, there are two ways to install, inside windows with Wubi, or in its own partition next to windows, by booting the LiveCD | 04:11 |
| scientes | the advantage of Wubi is that you can uninstall it from windows, but the downside is that suspend and hibernate will not work | 04:12 |
| Mafeki | alright that's what ill do then make its own partition. | 04:12 |
| urlin2u | Mafeki, you will need to build a partition in ubuntu or install alongside, make sure you know partition types and amount limitations | 04:12 |
| zykotick9 | Mafeki: if you plan on keeping Ubuntu, use the LiveCD. Wubi is a "test it out" sorta thing. | 04:12 |
| bobweaver | Mafeki: what is your Ram ? | 04:12 |
| Mafeki | I have poor ram this is an old computer. | 04:13 |
| Mafeki | and that's why I decided to use ubuntu. | 04:13 |
| scientes | if you have <512MB you should use the alternative installer | 04:13 |
| scientes | and consider lubuntu (lxde) and xubuntu (xfce) | 04:13 |
| Mafeki | alternative installer? | 04:13 |
| scientes | the debian installer, instead of the LiveCD | 04:13 |
| Mafeki | yeah I do have 512MBs | 04:14 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: seeing as Ubuntu requires 1GB of memory, with <512MB use a different spin of ubuntu (or different distro) | 04:14 |
| indystor1 | does (or will) linux support large (3tb+) hard drives? | 04:14 |
| bobweaver | Mafeki: when you boot ther cd there is too options one to try one to install but with your computer you might want to look at lubuntu | 04:14 |
| === andy_ is now known as Guest27266 | ||
| urlin2u | indystor1, yep | 04:14 |
| scientes | indystor1, yes, but IIRC you need to use GPT partition tables | 04:14 |
| urlin2u | does | 04:14 |
| harushimo | hey everyone, i want to use content management system for my webserver..which one wouId I use for ubuntu 10.04 LTS? | 04:14 |
| scientes | (i.e. not MSDOS partition table) | 04:15 |
| harushimo | what does ubuntu prefer in a CMS? | 04:15 |
| indystor1 | ok cool thanks- been using ubuntu server 11.10 a couple months on an older system and I love it- going to try and build a newer system with bigger drives in it and want expansion capability- thanks guys!!! | 04:15 |
| Mafeki | what's lubuntu is that just another install method? | 04:15 |
| scientes | Mafeki, try this http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 04:16 |
| scientes | Mafeki, lubuntu just mean it installs the lxde package instead of GNOME/unity | 04:16 |
| bobweaver | !lubuntu | Mafeki | 04:16 |
| ubottu | Mafeki: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 04:16 |
| hydrox24 | Mafeki: it's a different distribution of linux/ubuntu | 04:16 |
| zykotick9 | Mafeki: your system doesn't meet Ubuntu reqirements. Lubuntu would probably be a better option. | 04:16 |
| harushimo | !drupal | 04:16 |
| bobweaver | lol | 04:16 |
| bobweaver | !joomla | 04:17 |
| ubottu | joomla information can be had here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joomla | 04:17 |
| harushimo | joomla is better than drupal? | 04:17 |
| cheapie | harushimo: (forwarded from dpkg at #debian-bots): Drupal is an open source content management system, packaged for Debian as drupal6. dh-make-drupal can be used to make Debian packages of Drupal modules/themes. General FAQ: http://drupal.org/node/202799 http://www.drupal.org/ #drupal-support on irc.freenode.net. | 04:17 |
| lotuspsychje | howto fix a corrupt mouse pointer (square-like corrupt icon)? only a reboot temp fixes this... | 04:17 |
| Mafeki | ALright i'm already downloading ubuntu 11.10 am I good bobweaver or do I need to download something else? | 04:17 |
| scientes | Mafeki, ahh here it is http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/11.10/release/lubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso | 04:18 |
| scientes | that will install LXDE, which should run smoother on your older computer | 04:18 |
| harushimo | I know its an open cms. I want to know which is good for ubuntu | 04:18 |
| harushimo | I run 10.04 LTS | 04:18 |
| * bobweaver high fives scientes | 04:18 | |
| Mafeki | thanks a lot scientes. | 04:18 |
| scientes | if you want to try out GNOME later, you can install the ubuntu-desktop-environment package Mafeki | 04:18 |
| Mafeki | If I ever get a newer computer GNOME would be better? | 04:19 |
| cheapie | harushimo: | 04:19 |
| scientes | and the remove it to free up space | 04:19 |
| cheapie | Oops. | 04:19 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: this doesn't happen to be a KVM VM is it? | 04:19 |
| cheapie | harushimo: < BestBot> The BESTEST CMS is drupal5, because 1 people (100%) said so! | 04:19 |
| Mafeki | Will Lubuntu have the same interface as ubuntu? | 04:19 |
| scientes | Mafeki, GNOME is the default environment of most distrobutions, ubuntu runs their own shell (unity) instead of the default gnome-shell---its largely a matter of user preference | 04:20 |
| bobweaver | Mafeki: no | 04:20 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: no i've had this error both on an older laptop and a new computer (unity) | 04:20 |
| jvcleave | hello - trying to figure out how to ssh into Beaglebone with this installed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAP | 04:20 |
| harushimo | thank you | 04:20 |
| cheapie | Mafeki: That's actually the difference... | 04:20 |
| bobweaver | !lubuntu | Mafeki | 04:20 |
| ubottu | Mafeki: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 04:20 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: ok, i was curious. I get mouse pointer corruption with particular kernels in KVM. Good luck. | 04:20 |
| Mafeki | so it's the samething? | 04:20 |
| scientes | Mafeki, no | 04:20 |
| Mafeki | basically? | 04:21 |
| scientes | nope | 04:21 |
| scientes | but the programs are the same | 04:21 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: u was able to fix it in kvm? | 04:21 |
| cheapie | Mafeki: Only "under the hood". The interface is different. | 04:21 |
| scientes | you can use any program in any GUI | 04:21 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: nope :( but haven't really tried. | 04:21 |
| Mafeki | Lubunto would be better for tablets? | 04:22 |
| scientes | lxde for example does not implament trash | 04:22 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: i've readed some stuff about making a new xorg.conf file, but not sure this wil fix it | 04:22 |
| cheapie | Mafeki: Most likely. | 04:22 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: what graphics card are you using? | 04:22 |
| zykotick9 | cheapie: i wouldn't expect lxde to have much/any tablet support actually. | 04:23 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: both systems have an ati card | 04:23 |
| zykotick9 | lotuspsychje: ummm, well that's my "i'm not touching this" answer. So good luck. I hate ati, sorry. | 04:23 |
| cheapie | zykotick9: I meant as for how well it would run. | 04:23 |
| cheapie | zykotick9: Speed-wise. | 04:24 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: not sure its grafix card related neither, never seen this error on other ubuntu | 04:24 |
| zykotick9 | cheapie: resourse-wise, lxde might make sense ;) | 04:24 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: tnx anyway mate | 04:24 |
| cheapie | zykotick9: Yeah... *wonders about fluxbox* | 04:25 |
| scientes | zykotick9, its not ati anymore, its been rebranded AMD | 04:25 |
| * bobweaver thinks of icewm | 04:25 | |
| zykotick9 | cheapie: fluxbox or *box is super lightweight, compared to the DEs. I use awesome on my desktop and love it ;) | 04:26 |
| * cheapie thinks of ScrotWM... | 04:26 | |
| lotuspsychje | what ever happened to enlightment? does it still exist | 04:26 |
| cheapie | zykotick9: I use Fluxbox because I can't get ScrotWM to work over LTSP. | 04:26 |
| lotuspsychje | !find enlightment | 04:27 |
| zykotick9 | cheapie: i've used FBox for years ;) Only recently changed. | 04:27 |
| scientes | Mafeki, you should stay away from nautilus (GNOME file manager) on a computer that slow | 04:27 |
| ubottu | Package/file enlightment does not exist in oneiric | 04:27 |
| scientes | nautilus eats RAM, but also has some killer functionality (IMHO sftp integration with gvfs) | 04:27 |
| Mafeki | What are the recommended requirements for GNOME scientes? | 04:28 |
| zykotick9 | !requirements | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu | 04:28 |
| Mafeki | anyone here prefer lubuntu over ubuntu even though they have a killer computer? | 04:29 |
| * cheapie raises hand in response to Mafeki's question | 04:29 | |
| scientes | pcmanfm is available, and is pretty cool, but as said before ----be aware that there is no trash | 04:29 |
| w30 | scientes, gvfs works with thunar and xfce4 | 04:29 |
| overclucker | apparently, unity works really well on tabs | 04:29 |
| scientes | w30, thanks for the heads up | 04:30 |
| * bobweaver thinks of fvwm | 04:30 | |
| * cheapie thinks of the command line | 04:30 | |
| lotuspsychje | it will benefit speed for sure | 04:31 |
| lotuspsychje | less eyecandy | 04:31 |
| lotuspsychje | overclucker: wich tab? | 04:31 |
| w30 | scientes, I have no idea how easy it is on low powered computers; it does not stress my i7 16 gig ram box | 04:31 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: you might also be interested, that ubuntu doesn't use gvfs by default anymore, yes it's using fuse - but you need to manually install gvfs to use it. | 04:32 |
| scientes | w30, well, this was 2 years ago, for all i know nautilus could run better on low-ram systems | 04:32 |
| cheapie | w30: PCmanFM? It runs fine on my 400MHz box. Nautilus runs fine at about 1.2 GHz. | 04:32 |
| * lotuspsychje reccomends ubuntu 64 bit on ssd drive | 04:32 | |
| * cheapie prepares to throw out cheapo failed SSD | 04:33 | |
| w30 | scientes, yeah, if I had low power like my hp netbook Zi would be looking at lubuntu all the way | 04:33 |
| scientes | pcmanfm is very nice and fast | 04:33 |
| lotuspsychje | cheapie: what brand? | 04:33 |
| cheapie | lotispsychje: It's a "Wintec". | 04:34 |
| scientes | w30, if I run a low-end machine, its headless, with maybe a few ssh -X forwarded gui components | 04:34 |
| cheapie | s/lotispsychje/lotuspsychje/ | 04:34 |
| overclucker | lotuspsychje: I was thinking of getting either a galaxy or transformer prime, they both seem to be able to run ubuntu fairly well | 04:34 |
| scientes | zykotick9, popularity-contest? install space? | 04:35 |
| cheapie | scientes: I use my low-end (400MHz) computer as a thin client. | 04:36 |
| scientes | ubuntu could save quite a bit of space by removing mono from the default install | 04:36 |
| lotuspsychje | overclucker:cool, didnt know unity could be installed on a tab (not apple my guess?) | 04:36 |
| scientes | and using gnotes instead of tomboy | 04:36 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: they've already announced they're droping mono, because it doesn't run on ARM | 04:36 |
| scientes | WOOT--really doesn't run on ARM? | 04:36 |
| scientes | even with binfmtmisc? | 04:37 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: i certainly wouldn't know, i don't own any ARM devices | 04:37 |
| * cheapie accidentally rips pants | 04:37 | |
| lotuspsychje | cheapie: i use transcend ssd | 04:37 |
| scientes | http://packages.debian.org/sid/mono-runtime -> armel | 04:37 |
| scientes | no mips however | 04:38 |
| === cheapie is now known as cheapie-replacin | ||
| zykotick9 | scientes: sorry, my bad | 04:38 |
| scientes | but I definitely like the news of dropping mono, I don't like it | 04:38 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: nor i. I've gone to great lengths to keep it off my systems. | 04:39 |
| w30 | zykotick9, yeah good, Net is being dead ended by Microsoft so Mono might as well die too. | 04:39 |
| scientes | porting tomboy to C(++?) took like one day | 04:40 |
| === cheapie-replacin is now known as cheapie | ||
| * cheapie finishes replacing pants | 04:40 | |
| Mafeki | lubentu should be faster then windows xp pro? | 04:41 |
| jvcleave | speaking of ARM - any Beaglebone users? :) | 04:41 |
| cheapie | Random off topic comment - when "maletor" quit, I thought it said "malloc"... | 04:41 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: but does gnote support syncing yet? i'm SURE that's an issue for canonical. | 04:41 |
| scientes | jvcleave, I have 2 sheevaplugs | 04:41 |
| scientes | zykotick9, wouldn't know, I don't use it | 04:42 |
| scientes | I email stuff to myself instead | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Mafeki: why not try it out for yourself, install lubuntu-desktop | 04:43 |
| scientes | Mafeki, yes, lubuntu is faster than XP pro | 04:43 |
| scientes | the GUI is about the same weight as XP, but it also uses proper shared libraries, and a modern kernel (linux) which reduces memory consumption and speeds up IO among other things | 04:43 |
| Mafeki | lotuspsychje i'm downloading it right now. | 04:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Mafeki: as package or iso? | 04:45 |
| scientes | the GNOME and KDE guis are significantly bulkier (and more featureful) than XP, and can run slower than XP on <512MB machines on file management and other slightly bulky apps | 04:45 |
| Mafeki | Iso | 04:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Mafeki: are you on xp right now? | 04:46 |
| scientes | also, don't ever use system-monitor, ever---use htop | 04:46 |
| Mafeki | yeah | 04:46 |
| scientes | or the lxde process monitor looks ok, havn't used it cause i like htop | 04:46 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: i typically don't like "new-school" replacements for old standbyes, but htop is awesome ;) | 04:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Mafeki: you could also download regular ubuntu and install lubuntu-desktop afterwards, so you can test both on your system | 04:47 |
| scientes | zykotick9, and top sucks, it should be removed from the default as it is useless for just about everything | 04:47 |
| scientes | there are just too many processes running on any system (even headless) to make it remotely useful | 04:47 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: well, i wouldn't say that - but htop is certainly an improvement | 04:48 |
| lotuspsychje | !info htop | 04:48 |

| scientes | lotuspsychje, you can even get IO in htop | 04:48 |
| lotuspsychje | scientes: is it gui or cmd? | 04:49 |

| hydrox24 | just installed htop | 04:49 |
| lotuspsychje | scientes: don't you know a package that can filter malicious services? | 04:49 |
| hydrox24 | much cooler than top | 04:49 |
| scientes | lotuspsychje, ????????---if you only use the ubuntu sources that doesn't exist | 04:50 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: how do you get I/O? I see Sort by: PID,USER,PRI,NI,VIRT,RES,SHR,S,CPU,MEM,TIME,Command | 04:50 |
| hydrox24 | lotuspsychje: specifically malicious stuff? I though that you would filter everything, then have the human decide what was malicious | 04:50 |
| scientes | zykotick9, type "S", then go down to columns, and then select "IO_RATE" | 04:50 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: i use iotop ususally for IO monitoring, but it requires root :( | 04:50 |
| bobweaver | !openvas | 04:51 |
| lotuspsychje | hydrox24: i found like a rootkit detector in software centre, stuff like that | 04:51 |
| hydrox24 | lotuspsychje: ahhhh | 04:51 |
| scientes | "RBYTES" and "WBYTES" is also IO for the lifetime of the process zykes-_ | 04:51 |
| hydrox24 | I have three network managers being shown in htop??? | 04:51 |
| hydrox24 | I want a hiotop | 04:51 |
| hydrox24 | iotop improved... | 04:51 |
| skd | :) | 04:51 |
| scientes | hydrox24, just use htop's non-default IO functions | 04:52 |

| Hannspree | What up homes | 04:55 |
| bobweaver | they have svn | 04:55 |
| scientes | hydrox24, if you are really interested in security, you should read up on AppArmor and other MACs | 04:55 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: thanks - but the IO still requires root privs (which makes sense, i suppose) | 04:55 |
| lotuspsychje | bobweaver: is it any good? | 04:55 |
| Hannspree | in another life i would be ubuntus girl | 04:55 |
| Hannspree | so i dont have to say that ubuntu was the one that got away | 04:56 |

| lotuspsychje | bobweaver: tnx | 05:02 |
| zykotick9 | Hannspree: wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator ;)\ | 05:02 |
| eQuiNoX__ | i tried connecting the client on the host to the jabber server on the VM - but it does not connect. its probably because i've configured the server incorrectly | 05:02 |
| eQuiNoX__ | now, i dont have DNS setup so Im using the ip inside the jabber config file, instead of the server name | 05:03 |
| zykotick9 | D4rth_B4n3: setting a root password is NOT supported in this channel - search online, or try some other channel | 05:03 |
| eQuiNoX__ | could that be the issue? | 05:03 |

| eQuiNoX__ | by both i mean - the host and the VM | 05:07 |
| zykotick9 | eQuiNoX__: can you ping/ssh into the VM from host? | 05:08 |

| D4rth_B4n3 | has nothing to do with that scientes | 05:12 |
| bobweaver | Bowbles_: lspci -nn | grep Network | 05:13 |

| D4rth_B4n3 | oh maybe | 05:13 |
| saikat | is it possible to set 1280x800 resolution in ubuntu 10.04.3 in a 14'' laptop | 05:13 |
| Mafeki | so ubuntu is supposed to be lightweight also? | 05:13 |
| lotuspsychje | eQuiNoX__: i would doublecheck both requierd ports are open with nmap -PN-sV on your jabber server ip | 05:14 |
| zykotick9 | Mafeki: ubuntu is NOT lightweight (anymore) | 05:14 |
| scientes | Mafeki, linux is a high quality operating system, but GNOME is not lightweight | 05:14 |
| hydrox24 | saikat: is that resolution available in the display settings? | 05:14 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | i cant use sudo anymore ???? | 05:14 |
| scientes | D4rth_B4n3, please post your /etc/fstab | 05:14 |
| saikat | no not available | 05:14 |
| zykotick9 | scientes: and linux is only a kernel :p GNU is an operating system | 05:14 |
| hydrox24 | Mafeki: compared to Windows though, yes it is lightweight | 05:14 |
| saikat | can i add this | 05:14 |
| scientes | GNU/Linux, my apologies | 05:14 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | i cant because its a server | 05:15 |
| hydrox24 | D4rth_B4n3: what error does it give you | 05:15 |
| Bowbles_ | bobweaver: it returns nothing. Does this mean that ubuntu was not able to find a driver for it? | 05:15 |
| hydrox24 | D4rth_B4n3: why not? Does it error? | 05:15 |
| scientes | GNU/Linux is VERY high performance, much better than windows, it has full preemption for example | 05:15 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | sudo must be setuid root | 05:15 |
| bobweaver | Bowbles_: try just : lspci -nn | 05:15 |
| scientes | D4rth_B4n3, post your /etc/fstab now please | 05:15 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | how | 05:15 |
| hydrox24 | scientes: why is that relevant? | 05:15 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | ??? | 05:15 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | i cant acces it | 05:16 |
| scientes | you need to reboot | 05:16 |
| scientes | what is error? | 05:16 |
| hydrox24 | scientes: are you sure you've got the right nick?? | 05:16 |
| hydrox24 | scientes: D4rth_B4n3 never asked about anything to do with filesystems/harddrives | 05:16 |
| lotuspsychje | eQuiNoX__: telnet localhost 5222 could also help you maybe | 05:16 |
| eQuiNoX__ | lotuspsychje: zykotick9 http://paste.pocoo.org/show/543409/ | 05:17 |
| scientes | hydrox24, he was having problems with suid---he could have mounted nosuid | 05:17 |
| hydrox24 | scientes: ahhh thanks. | 05:17 |
| scientes | but now he says he cant access /etc/fstab---he needs to reboot | 05:17 |
| hydrox24 | D4rth_B4n3: you can post you /etc/fstab by running: cat /etc/fstab | 05:17 |
| saikat | can anybody tell me how to add the resolution | 05:17 |
| scientes | saikat, system settings -> monitors | 05:18 |
| hydrox24 | scientes: that doesn't work for him | 05:18 |

| hydrox24 | tronlegacy: please just ask the question | 05:18 |
| Bowbles_ | bobweaver: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1574827 this seems to be what I am experiencing. | 05:18 |
| hydrox24 | tronlegacy: If someone can help you they will, if not; then there will be silence on the matter. | 05:19 |
| tronlegacy | i using ubuntu 11.10, and i updated the ubuntu, but some updates were keptback, i tried dist-upgrade too, but it didnt work.. please need a help | 05:19 |
| eQuiNoX__ | lotuspsychje: and the nmap outputs 5222, 5269, 5280, 7777. also the logs show that there is a connection thats made but then it gets disconnected | 05:19 |
| lotuspsychje | eQuiNoX__: i would try a telnet on localhost | 05:19 |
| eQuiNoX__ | lotuspsychje: lemme try | 05:19 |
| scientes | tronlegacy, you might have packages set to "hold" | 05:19 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | hydrox24 it isnt the fstab | 05:19 |
| hydrox24 | D4rth_B4n3: what do you mean? | 05:20 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | hydrox24 i think i exidently changed the admin group so that the users of it cant use sudo anymore | 05:20 |
| tronlegacy | then how can i remove hold? | 05:20 |
| eQuiNoX__ | lotuspsychje: uh, sorry but is there some kind of banner that i should be able to see? | 05:20 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | hydrox24 no admin can use sudo | 05:20 |
| scientes | D4rth_B4n3, 3 possible problems: 1. mounted nosuid 2. sudo is not set suid (chmod u+s /bin/sudo or whereever it is) 3. your filesystem is all screwed up for some other reason | 05:21 |
| scientes | also, if `hostname` isn't working right then sudo will break | 05:21 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | scientes its isnt the filesystem | 05:21 |
| bobweaver | Bowbles_: open terminal and type in: lspci -nn && lsmod && rfkill list all then use paste.ubuntu.com | 05:21 |
| scientes | D4rth_B4n3, sudo -i also gets you a root terminal | 05:21 |
| hydrox24 | scientes: D4rth_B4n3: maybe he needs to boot in single user mode? | 05:21 |
| lotuspsychje | eQuiNoX__: seems like some accepted connection went through | 05:21 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | no because i cant use SUDO | 05:22 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | hydrox24 what is that | 05:22 |
| scientes | hydrox24, with that error he probably needs to use init=/bin/bash, and then chmod u+x /usr/bin/sudo | 05:22 |
| scientes | *chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo | 05:22 |
| pfifo | man I tell ya, the debian installer is really giving me grief today | 05:23 |
| hydrox24 | D4rth_B4n3: ok, so reboot and edit the "kernel line" to say init=/bin/bash | 05:23 |
| scientes | but he should post the damn /etc/fstab, cause that could be the problem | 05:23 |
| scientes | and should also just try a reboot | 05:23 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | operation not permitted | 05:23 |
| hydrox24 | D4rth_B4n3: then type the chmod u+x /usr/bin/sudo into that prompt | 05:23 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | i did | 05:23 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | ok | 05:23 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | can i do it ofer the recovery ? | 05:23 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | think so | 05:23 |
| scientes | D4rth_B4n3, you might have to hard reboot =====yeah, in grub, while it is booting, add init=/bin/bash to the kernal line | 05:23 |
| scientes | recovery is unlikely to work | 05:24 |
| scientes | but you could try | 05:24 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | it worked fine in the past | 05:24 |
| scientes | ok | 05:24 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | ok brb | 05:24 |
| scientes | then do recovery mode | 05:24 |
| scientes | then chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo | 05:24 |
| bobweaver | what is env in /usr/bin/env bash ? | 05:24 |
| scientes | bobweaver, that is so you can use a differn't version of the program | 05:25 |
| scientes | bobweaver, man env | 05:25 |
| pfifo | both ubuntu's alternate disk and minimal disk wouldnt install a system for me, and xubuntu's alternate installer failed as well, guess if you want things done right you have to debootstrap it yourself right? | 05:25 |
| scientes | bobweaver, with /usr move env wont really be as neccicary | 05:25 |
| lotuspsychje | eQuiNoX__: http://www.ejabberd.im/node/5021 might be helpfull | 05:26 |
| scientes | pfifo, if I had that problem I would just install debian :P | 05:26 |
| * eQuiNoX__ checks that out, thanks for your help lotuspsychje ! | 05:26 | |
| pfifo | scientes, I would but debian is for casuals | 05:27 |
| bobweaver | oh scientes it is incase bash is not installed under /usr/bin/ in #!/usr/bin/env bash | 05:28 |
| bobweaver | so that it will work | 05:28 |
| scientes | pfifo, that is not true at all | 05:29 |
| saikat | xrandr command shows an error.. | 05:30 |
| scientes | bobweaver, i mentioned that above | 05:30 |
| pfifo | bobweaver, there should be atleast a symlink in /bin/bash or /bin/sh | 05:30 |
| saikat | could not set the configuration for CRTC 262 | 05:30 |
| scientes | the /usr move is much better | 05:30 |
| saikat | can anybody has any idea?? | 05:30 |
| pfifo | scientes, alright for you, i canceled and did: debootstrap squeeze /mnt/ | 05:31 |

| === Ryukoji_ is now known as haylo | ||
| D4rth_B4n3 | yes 10.04 LTS urlin2u | 06:06 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | urlin2u its just 4 fun but thats no fun | 06:06 |
| urlin2u | D4rth_B4n3, you might try #ubuntu-server channel as well | 06:06 |
| === ParkerR is now known as haylolo | ||
| metaspike | D4rth_B4n3, I think you might have b0rked all the permissions by mistake, just a thought. | 06:07 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | for sudo i get that output /etc/sudoers is owned by gid 121 should be 0 and then no valid sudoers sources found , quitting urlin2u metaspike | 06:07 |

| garyhost | can somebody tell me the path to the .conf file of your currently loaded wireless driver | 06:07 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | metaspike yes i think so | 06:08 |
| urlin2u | D4rth_B4n3, never had to mess with permissions myself. | 06:08 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | first time for me urlin2u | 06:08 |
| metaspike | D4rth_B4n3, yeah. i hate to say this but. it's really easier to salvage your data and start again. dont chown outside of your home directory in future :( | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | garyhost:what are you trying to do? | 06:08 |
| metaspike | been there done that, sux but not much you can do about it. | 06:09 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | i think i go to bed have school tomorrow and its past 12 am metaspike yes i set that server up 2 days ago there is nothing to save ;) good night to all | 06:09 |
| metaspike | garyhost, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf normally handles most of the wireless stuff? it depends on your backend | 06:09 |
| D4rth_B4n3 | thx for help though metaspike and urlin2u | 06:10 |
| garyhost | if /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf is where you put drivers you dont want to be loaded, where are the drivers you DO want loaded? | 06:11 |
| garyhost | the path you provided? | 06:11 |

| cconstantine | hey all.... I've got a weird issue; I'm running out of memory even though I have lots of free swap space. It's showing up as crashes of utilities I'm running (like the compile step in eclipse or image rendering) because of OOM errors. has anyone had this or know how to tell the OS that it's OK to use the swap that's available? | 06:12 |
| metaspike | Gallomimia, i don't know? in /etc/apt/sources.list* source repositories must start with "deb-src" | 06:13 |
| pfifo | cconstantine, try building without -pipe if your using it | 06:14 |
| cconstantine | -pipe? | 06:14 |
| metaspike | cconstantine, is the swap activated? | 06:14 |
| cconstantine | metaspike, how do I check that? | 06:14 |

| metaspike | cconstantine, htop is how i do it :/ - i guess you could - lsblk - from terminal | 06:15 |
| pfifo | cconstantine, not everything can be swapped out when compiling | 06:15 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ synclient -m 100; Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled? Failed to connect to X Server.' What is meant here by »SHMConfig«? | 06:15 |
| === Ryukoji_Parker_h is now known as haylo | ||
| cconstantine | pfifo, it's not strictly a compile (it's the xml -> java translation) | 06:16 |
| cconstantine | aapt | 06:16 |
| garyhost | no, im just trying to locate where my current wireless driver is located. what would be the command to grep all files for "BRCM80211" | 06:16 |

| Guest80473 | morning | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | garyhost: lspci | 06:18 |
| metaspike | cconstantine, -j is a good flag for compiling with extra cores also.. say. =j3 for dual core | 06:18 |
| metaspike | -j3* | 06:18 |
| cconstantine | metaspike, this isn't javac or g++ | 06:19 |
| garyhost | maybe im not phrasing it correctly, i know that /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, is where you add modules you dont want to be loaded, is there a file that would be its opposite, that contains the information of drivers that are currently loaded? | 06:19 |
| lotuspsychje | bullgard4:http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/cant-access-shared-memory-area-shmconfig-disabled-692073/ | 06:19 |

| dlentz | /etc/modules will load modules at boot | 06:20 |
| xmodule | hello | 06:20 |
| === ksinkar_ is now known as ksinkar | ||
| pfifo | cconstantine, perhaps you could pass something like '-Xmx1024M -Xms1024M' to java to prevent it from using too much memory | 06:20 |
| dlentz | garyhost, modinfo gives info on a module | 06:20 |
| cconstantine | pfifo, maybe... but I don't think aapt (the most pressing crash) is a java program | 06:21 |
| metaspike | cconstantine, http://ubuntu.mindseeder.com/11.10/ - under speedup system/boot "optimize swap usage" | 06:22 |
| pfifo | cconstantine, then you could run aapt with ulimit or nice to give it a higher priority, hopefully making some other non-essential program shut down | 06:22 |

| ubottu | MetaBot, please see my private message | 06:28 |
| bullgard4 | lotuspsychje: 1. This article does not explain "What is meant here by »SHMConfig«?", or have I overlooked something? 2. This article is no longer relevant for Ubuntu 11.10 as Ubuntu 11.10 does not use HAL. | 06:28 |
| North | I canot access HDD secondary. the Status in Partition Editor is "Not mounted" | 06:29 |
| North | can you give me the advice? | 06:29 |
| bullgard4 | North: I recommend using a live CD and the program GParted there. | 06:29 |
| Soryn | I got "Erro:BrokenCount>0" on Synaptic , it doesnt work anymore. how i fix it? | 06:30 |
| metaspike | bullgard4, it has to do with the synaptics driver, as in touchpads etc. | 06:30 |
| upgrdman | i can't get sound to work. how do i begin troubleshooting this? dmesg does not show anything obvious about anything audio related. | 06:30 |
| North | bullgard4: then I need to boot with a live CD? | 06:31 |
| bullgard4 | metaspike: I know that. I'd like to know it more precisely. | 06:31 |
| metaspike | bullgard4, is Option "SHMConfig" "on" present in the xorg.conf? oic | 06:32 |
| bullgard4 | North Yes. | 06:32 |
| North | bullgard4: I can see it's Gparted now. that is I ran the Partition Editor. | 06:32 |
| Soryn | I got "Erro:BrokenCount>0" on Synaptic , it doesnt work anymore. how i fix it? | 06:32 |
| bullgard4 | metaspike: xorg.conf does not exist in my Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2.1. | 06:33 |
| urlin2u | Soryn, run it in th terminal. | 06:34 |
| urlin2u | the | 06:34 |
| urlin2u | post the error Soryn | 06:34 |
| bullgard4 | North So GParted says: "Status=not mounted"? That's good at first. Now you click or double click on the partition in question. It should mount then. | 06:35 |
| metaspike | bullgard4, the closest thing i found was http://askubuntu.com/questions/50201/how-to-enable-shmconfig . you can create a standard conf with- Xorg -configure - as for the details i dunno. does - man synclient - have anything to say? | 06:37 |

| Mafeki | power iso gives me two burning speeds maximum and 6.1 * 8472 kb/s | 06:39 |

| Mafeki | Does it matter? | 06:39 |
| joee | Hay alquien ?¡ | 06:39 |
| bullgard4 | metaspike: I read 'man synclient' before I posted here. It has no explanation. I know that I can create a file xorg.conf but I do not intend to because normally in Ubuntu 11.10 xorg.conf is no longer needed. My problem is that apparently sometimes a bug occurres and I'd like to hunt it. | 06:40 |
| gokul | is there any way to execute initctl without sudo | 06:40 |
| metaspike | Soryn, sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get autoremove - this will either make or break your system. | 06:40 |
| hanthana | is there a video streaming software/ | 06:41 |
| North | bullgard4: I do not understand that Now you click or double click on the partition in question. | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | bullgard: what about this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1441300 | 06:41 |
| joee | como me voy a buntu-es | 06:41 |
| metaspike | Mafeki, if you're burning something that uses alot of super compressed files like an OS install disc, better to burn it slow and SAO. | 06:42 |
| bullgard4 | North: What don't you understand in my sentence: "Now you click or double click on the partition in question"? | 06:42 |
| Mafeki | metaspike but poweriso only has 2 burning options. | 06:43 |
| North | bullgard4: I do not understand partition in question | 06:43 |
| metaspike | Mafeki, you mean on windows dont you | 06:44 |
| Mafeki | I'm using poweriso | 06:45 |
| Mafeki | yeah windows. | 06:45 |
| metaspike | GET HIM | 06:45 |
| acerimmer | rope ready, where's a tree? lol. | 06:46 |
| joee | windows =' | 06:46 |
| bullgard4 | North: "partition in question" is that partition on which you want to work. For example: You want to format the partition /dev/sda2. Then /dev/sda2 is your "partition in question". | 06:46 |
| urlin2u | Mafeki, what are the options? | 06:47 |
| urlin2u | Mafeki, use the slowest speed. | 06:48 |
| Mafeki | urlin2u 'Maximum' and '6.1x (8472KB/s) plus Verify written data option. | 06:48 |
| metaspike | Mafeki, seeing as an ISO is really a basic thing, you can open it with 7zip if you want to edit it. I've had success burning with CDBurnerXP - | 06:48 |
| Mafeki | Verify written data perhaps sounds like what I would need? | 06:49 |
| WorldGenesis | o.o | 06:50 |
| xmodule | have anybody wdtv live? | 06:50 |
| chuck[screen] | omg. again. kill -9 is not working | 06:50 |
| North | bullgard4: If I click on the partition in question, it just shows the information only. And I still cannot access /dev/sdb1 | 06:50 |
| === Fishman12a is now known as FishFace | ||
| metaspike | Mafeki, that's great but if it's not DAO (Disc At Once) or SAO (Session At Once) there's a chance it wont boot anyway if your burning ubuntu, | 06:51 |
| Mafeki | It doesn't really say in poweriso | 06:53 |
| Mafeki | I assume it just puts whatever's in the iso onto the disc. | 06:53 |
| metaspike | just burn it o_o | 06:53 |
| Mafeki | just do it? | 06:54 |
| bullgard4 | North: What will happen if you are trying to access /dev/sdb1? What does happen if you are double-clicking on the /dev/sdb1 entry in GParted? | 06:54 |
| metaspike | yeah | 06:54 |
| acerimmer | gitrdone | 06:54 |
| metaspike | North. sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 - this should work but someone might say "you're doing it wrong" | 06:55 |

| bobo37773 | metaspike: Doing it wrong? Why would someone say that? | 06:56 |
| JermBob | i need something more command based | 06:56 |
| JermBob | terminal is so hard to even find on the dam thing | 06:56 |
| metaspike | bobo37773, you're right. probably just FUD | 06:56 |
| zykotick9 | bobo37773: one thing, /media should generally be reserved for that automounter :p | 06:57 |
| urlin2u | JermBob, crtl-alt-t should bring up the terminal | 06:57 |
| North | bullgard4: When I click on /dev/sdb1 entry in Gparted, only the information pops up. | 06:57 |
| JermBob | so how can i terminal from a remote pc ? | 06:58 |
| JermBob | on my own network ? | 06:58 |
| bobo37773 | zykotick9: Why is that? Where do you mount to? /mnt? | 06:58 |
| North | metaspike: terminal message is "can't find /dev/sdb1/media/sdb1 in /etc/fstabor /etc/mtab". | 06:58 |
| zykotick9 | bobo37773: /mnt is only for temporary mounting actually | 06:58 |
| bobo37773 | zykotick9: So where do you manually mount to? | 06:59 |
| oconnore | so, ssh public key logins aren't working on my server anymore. can anyone help? | 06:59 |
| metaspike | ah | 06:59 |
| zykotick9 | bobo37773: /home or /srv i suppose is the most appropriate | 06:59 |
| JermBob | anyone ? | 06:59 |
| bobo37773 | zykotick9: I have never mounted to $HOME. Why is it more appropriate? Just for the simple fact that it is your home? Or is there more to it? | 07:00 |
| bobo37773 | zykotick9: Because of permissions or something? | 07:01 |
| zykotick9 | bobo37773: it's just that /media is used by fuse - but i don't really think there's a perfect answer (or i don't know it) | 07:01 |
| bullgard4 | North: And what do you expect instead? What is you plan or goal an the end? | 07:02 |
| North | I wanna access HDD secondary to write or download. | 07:02 |

| North | In the file browser, the Mount Volume is activated in the right clock menu. but it does not help. | 07:06 |
| bobo37773 | chuck[screen]: Hey | 07:06 |
| bullgard4 | North: Please write at the beginning of your messages to me my nick so that I know that your message is directed to me and nobody else. -- If you are using the live CD and you have double-clicked on /dev/sdb1, Gparted should show /dev/sdb1 now as ,ounted. Then you can write to this partition using a normal copy or editing program, for example Gedit. Or you can use nautilus to copy data... | 07:07 |
| bullgard4 | ...from this partition to another partition, if you like. | 07:07 |
| bullgard4 | North: I do not know what you mean by "the right clock menu". Please explain. | 07:08 |

| dak0 | hows going on Ubuntu 2D | 07:25 |
| DIyar | metaspike: ok I will test | 07:26 |
| zykotick9 | metaspike: i don't think fluxbox as a suggestion for most ubuntu users would be a good one. Also xdm, i'd replace with slim (it's much nicer) | 07:26 |
| metaspike | DIyar, try their suggestions FIRST | 07:26 |
| JermBob | how can i get open ssh ? | 07:26 |
| zykotick9 | JermBob: openssh-server i believe (or perhaps the ssh metapackage for both client/server) | 07:27 |

| JermBob | not server | 07:27 |
| JermBob | my bad | 07:27 |

| JermBob | im trying sudo apt-get openssh-server and it dont like it | 07:28 |
| metaspike | DIyar, first, just try dropping the special effects... apperances > simple effects, | 07:28 |

| dak0 | Computer works faster lets say | 07:28 |
| JermBob | less gui stuff ? | 07:29 |
| dak0 | agree with zykotick9 | 07:29 |
| JermBob | im trying sudo apt-get openssh-server and it gives me a invalid operation | 07:30 |

| pfifo | dooglus, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-select-fastest-mirror-in-ubuntu.html | 07:42 |
| pfifo | except your looking for US mirror instead of fastest | 07:43 |
| dooglus | pfifo: why US? | 07:44 |
| pfifo | cause, well, it works for me | 07:44 |
| pfifo | you can always switch back | 07:44 |
| dooglus | pfifo: also, I only have command line access to this server | 07:44 |

| dooglus | ok | 07:44 |
| dooglus | llutz_: that's not going to help though, because one of the lines causing the trouble is: "deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main" | 07:45 |
| llutz_ | dooglus: or just use the editor of your choice and change any ca-archive... into us.archive manually | 07:45 |

| dooglus | pfifo: I can, but I doubt the problem is with the 'extras' repo. does it work for you? can you 'apt-get update' cleanly? | 07:48 |

| llutz_ | dooglus: does the warning still appear after that? | 07:50 |
| Ansikt | zykotick9, Yeah, I'm really starting to consider pulseaudio. But I've heard it's hard to setup. | 07:50 |
| dooglus | llutz_: commenting the 'extra' line and changing ca. to us. fixes the problem | 07:50 |
| dooglus | llutz_: without importing new keys | 07:50 |
| zykotick9 | Ansikt: are you using Ubuntu? (if so, how are you not using Pulse?) | 07:50 |
| Ansikt | metaspike, Sadly, Banshee's settings were all super 'high level,' and I didn't get to change anything related to the backend, per se. | 07:50 |
| pfifo | dooglus, i can try, but im on lucid... youll have to paste the line from your sources | 07:51 |
| llutz_ | dooglus: so why did you have enabled that repo before on a server, if you don't need it? | 07:51 |
| Ansikt | Zykotick9, I'm using Mint, actually, at a friend's place. | 07:51 |
| dooglus | llutz_: switching us.* back to ca.* also works now... I guess it just needed to refresh the <something> | 07:51 |

| dooglus | llutz_: I'm guessing the installer set added it to sources.list automatically, but I don't know | 07:56 |
| dooglus | llutz_: anyway, commenting the extras line, switching ca to us, updating, switching us back to ca and uncommenting the extras line then updating again fixed the problem! | 07:57 |

| pfifo | dooglus, arch's AI would have just done it for you after reading your mind | 07:58 |

| dooglus | llutz_: that's not quite true | 07:59 |
| llutz_ | they still do not sign? | 07:59 |
| zykotick9 | lol | 07:59 |
| dooglus | llutz_: their package manager can not check package signatures, but most packages still aren't actually signed. I think that's the current state. | 07:59 |

| llutz_ | Ansikt: "no comment" | 08:01 |
| dooglus | llutz_: and it's not that there's no gui on the server, it's just that the gui is currently playing an episode of house md to a sleeping girl in the room next door | 08:01 |

| pier | $HOME/.xchat2/budus.so | 08:03 |
| pier | cia00000000 | 08:03 |
| llutz_ | dooglus: ok, my definition of "server" is old fashioned and doesn't include things like gui/multimedia etc. | 08:04 |
| dooglus | this may be offtopic - I don't know. over the weekend the LAN here stopped working a couple of times. couldn't reliably ping one machine from another, visit any websites, etc. it turned out that pausing all the torrents on the main ubuntu server stopped the problem recurring | 08:05 |
| dooglus | llutz_: I'm old fashioned too and refer to any machine I'm remote logged into as a server. my bad | 08:05 |
| metaspike | Ansikt, I heard on outlaws that it was going to be primarily an arm architecture thing to begin with, and that's it's going to cause more problems than it solves. | 08:05 |
| llutz_ | dooglus: your LAN is behind a router? | 08:05 |
| dooglus | llutz_: yeah | 08:05 |
| dooglus | llutz_: a linksys running some open source thing. openwrt maybe? | 08:06 |
| llutz_ | dooglus: sounds like your router cannot handle that amount of connections | 08:06 |
| llutz_ | dooglus: try to limit in/out connections in your torrent-client and check again | 08:06 |
| dooglus | llutz_: it's been fine for over a year. the ubuntu server that runs the torrent daemon is set to auto-apply security updates - that's the only thing that I can think of maybe changing recently | 08:06 |
| dooglus | llutz_: I did. I limited global connections to 100 (down from 250) but it didn't hlep | 08:06 |
| dooglus | or help | 08:06 |
| metaspike | dooglus, maybe your ISP is onto you, install ipblock and see how many hits you get. | 08:07 |
| dooglus | metaspike: my first thought was it was the ISP, but that wouldn't explain not being able to ping the ubuntu server from my laptop on the same LAN | 08:07 |
| llutz_ | dooglus: 100... that shouldn't be a problem for any SoHo-router | 08:07 |

| dooglus | miadbahrami: I'm not sure how I fixed it exactly, but suspect that commenting the line out of /etc/apt/sources.list, then apt-get update, then uncommenting it and apt-get updated again fixed it | 08:09 |
| zykotick9 | dooglus: PPA though | 08:09 |
| pier | ciaooo | 08:09 |
| dooglus | zykotick9: yeah. I don't think the actual repo was the issue | 08:09 |
| dooglus | zykotick9: the repo that was causing the problem was fine - it was a local caching issue I gues | 08:10 |
| zykotick9 | dooglus: i mean miadbahrami's issue is with a PPA though | 08:10 |
| dooglus | s | 08:10 |
| dooglus | zykotick9: yeah. but it's still just a repo | 08:10 |
| dooglus | zykotick9: oh, but he'll need a non-standard key that he's probably missing? | 08:10 |
| zykotick9 | dooglus: your issue was a little different, miadbahrami probably didn't install the key | 08:10 |
| crazydiamond | Hi. My XChat hangs when I try to connect to FreeNode. How can I figure reason out? | 08:10 |

| [deXter] | JadedJacob, you can configure grub to boot PLOP, which can then boot your flash drive. You could configure gurb to boot the USB but it's not straightforward. | 09:08 |

| [deXter] | JadedJacob, http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#grubinst | 09:10 |
| saucer_eyes | lol | 09:10 |
| * lotuspsychje presses play on tape | 09:10 | |
| * ejv watches as the channel degenerates into #memory_lane | 09:10 | |
| JadedJacob | it's a quantum fireball, and 8MB of EDO RAM, man what a difference it made when we upgraded to a whopping 40MB of EDO ram. | 09:11 |
| JadedJacob | had to be matched pairs back then. | 09:11 |
| [deXter] | Gallomimia, When my cousin upgraded to a 40 MB hdd (yes, MB), all his friends scolded him for the unnecessary expensive purchase.. they said that he will never fill it in his lifetime.. | 09:11 |
| pier | c | 09:11 |
| JadedJacob | [deXter] thanks | 09:11 |
| el_seano | can anyone tell me what the thought process is behind having each user have their own group is? Is it to avoid possible complication from setgid? | 09:12 |
| lotuspsychje | lol mb :p | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedJacob: well, its 4 times the RAM, imagine if your current PC had 4 times as much RAM... | 09:12 |
| ejv | only a matter of time | 09:12 |
| * ejv twiddles thumbs | 09:12 | |
| dak0 | lol i'll fill 40mb with my web history | 09:13 |
| dak0 | xD | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | el_seano: I imagine its for privacy on $HOME as the group ownership can be set to the user as well | 09:13 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, re. that link, you might want to refer to the "GRUB2" section instead of the GRUB1 I accidentally linked you to :) | 09:13 |
| iceroot | ejv: ActionParsnip is right | 09:13 |
| iceroot | el_seano: ^ | 09:13 |
| iceroot | ejv: wrong nick | 09:13 |
| ejv | iceroot: i was like derp? | 09:14 |
| JadedJacob | OK. | 09:14 |
| el_seano | ActionParsnip: ah, that makes sense. Keep an open umask without having to worry about unwary users opening their files. | 09:14 |
| JadedJacob | For an old machine (celeron 533) does it matter which GRUB i install? | 09:14 |
| ejv | im usually right though, it's a common slip | 09:14 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, ah, well I suggest you go with GRUB4DOS then, it's simpler and more flexible | 09:14 |
| ejv | swore that said GLADOS | 09:14 |
| tekonivel | i haven't had telepathy in my applet menu for about a week now (12.04 Precise), what am i missing? | 09:15 |
| JadedJacob | Hmmmm. | 09:15 |
| [deXter] | lol, you play too much portal, ejv | 09:15 |
| ejv | apparently | 09:15 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, it can be installed onto a FAT or NTFS partition too | 09:15 |
| tekonivel | i've got all the relevant telepathy* -packages installed though | 09:15 |
| ejv | soo to be quantum conundrum | 09:15 |
| ejv | s/soo/soon/ | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | el_seano: you can set o-rwx on $HOME and only the owning user will get access, you can of course make another group and add your user and other users to control whom has access | 09:15 |
| JadedJacob | I want to be able to boot off a ubuntu live CD, and install a version of GRUB onto the harddrive from there. | 09:15 |
| lotuspsychje | !precise | tekonivel | 09:15 |
| ubottu | tekonivel: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 - Blueprints at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | tekonivel: precise support in #ubuntu+1 please | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedJacob: you can, use a chroot | 09:16 |
| tekonivel | ActionParsnip: oops, thanks mate! | 09:16 |
| JadedJacob | OK. | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedJacob: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ | 09:16 |
| coooontitiki | numerical permissions are what we default to in my class ActionParsnip | 09:16 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, Those instructions assume an existing Linux install... what's on your system right now? | 09:17 |
| JadedJacob | Nothing. | 09:17 |
| JadedJacob | Just a CDROM drive, a empty 4GB flashdrive and a empty 1.2GB harddrive. | 09:17 |
| * ejv is almost ashamed to have installed windows today, shakes fist at netflix | 09:18 | |
| ActionParsnip | coooontitiki: both are fine | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ejv: apparently, its coming | 09:19 |
| coooontitiki | you know anything about escalating priveliges on /etc/shadow ? changing shells with a special program? | 09:19 |
| ejv | i pray to the linux gods | 09:19 |
| JadedJacob | If I'm using really old hardware, celeron 533, 256MB ram, built in graphics, do I want to install an old version of xubuntu, say xubuntu 7.1 and just run sudo apt-upgrade, or is better to install the latest version of a light weight ubuntu distro. | 09:19 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, Do you really want to go ahead with this though? Booting and running a full fledged distro via USB 1.1 is *painfully* slow | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedJacob: I'd install Lubuntu 11.10 | 09:20 |
| lotuspsychje | !lubuntu | JadedJacob | 09:20 |
| ubottu | JadedJacob: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 09:20 |
| iceroot | JadedJacob: use the latest lubuntu | 09:20 |
| JadedJacob | [deXter]: I have a USB 2.0 PCI card :D | 09:20 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, I would suggest going with a lightweight distro optimised for older machines. Newer distros pack the newer kernel which is bloated and optimised for newer processors. | 09:20 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, ah that's awesome. | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | usb is dog slow anyway, firewire is sweet | 09:20 |
| iceroot | coooontitiki: /etc/shadow has nothing to do with shells | 09:20 |
| coooontitiki | ha | 09:20 |
| lotuspsychje | can compiz run on lubuntu? | 09:21 |
| ejv | is this an exercise in masochism? what's wrong with you JadedJacob :\ | 09:21 |
| iceroot | coooontitiki: /etc/shadow is just holding all hashed user-passwords | 09:21 |
| coooontitiki | escalating the set uid does iceroot | 09:21 |
| JadedJacob | haha, this is an exercise on what can be achieved with linux. | 09:21 |
| pier | ccc | 09:21 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, In that case I would recommend a Puppy Linux based distro, like Turbo Puppy | 09:21 |
| JadedJacob | and why you should never throw away old hardware, if all you want to do is check cnn.com | 09:21 |
| ejv | uhh cmon guys really? we know the answer is gentoo: compile it all. | 09:21 |
| Lolo_ | Hi, anyone knows how to use zenity --progress with unrar in order to have a progression bar during an extract in command line (for a .sh) ? TY | 09:22 |
| ejv | JadedJacob: i admire your courage | 09:22 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, Turbopup uses like 10 MB of RAM.. yes, that's 10 MB.. not 100+ like any modern distro. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=40477 | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: sure, you will just replace openbox which is default | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ejv: on hardware like that, DE+xorg will take days.. | 09:24 |
| ejv | nah, go hard or go home, CLI for everything | 09:25 |
| haylo | i find these old machines work well if you get the ram low enough- in fact it seems like the first200 mb is the most useful? maybe it has to do with current? | 09:25 |
| ejv | mutt for email, irssi for irc, links for browsing, wget / rtorrent for well... ya :D | 09:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ejv: no flash in web browsers in cli ;) | 09:25 |
| ejv | that's a feature | 09:25 |
| lotuspsychje | ejv: links2 is pretty cool :p | 09:26 |
| [deXter] | ^ | 09:26 |
| haylo | cli movies | 09:26 |
| haylo | all stick men | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | haylo: mplayer has an ascii output filter | 09:26 |
| [deXter] | mplayer can play regular movies in ASCII btw ;) | 09:26 |
| [deXter] | Whoops, too late | 09:26 |
| ejv | ha indeed it does, i've used it | 09:26 |
| haylo | i need to try that :) thanks | 09:26 |
| ActionParsnip | makes me laugh | 09:26 |
| ejv | makes my eyes rain | 09:26 |
| [deXter] | haylo, best movie to watch: The Matrix | 09:26 |
| [deXter] | Best scene: When Neo dodges the bullets. | 09:27 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 09:27 |
| haylo | lolol | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | haylo: mplayer -vo caca movie.avi | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | good things to use are cartoons, like simpsons | 09:27 |
| * lotuspsychje follows the white rabbit | 09:27 | |
| ejv | OT, but the ascii matrix scene you're talking about, is a google search away, check it out if you want | 09:28 |
| overclucker | mplayer -vo fbdev | 09:28 |
| haylo | im so neofied, i cant watch it agian | 09:28 |
| JadedJacob | [deXter] that link you sent me is Turbopup EXTREME | 09:30 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, Yep, you need all the speed you can get ;) | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | xpud is cool too, boots in 3 seconds here | 09:30 |
| JadedJacob | hehe | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | ActionParsnip: my debian needs 4sec (grub -> kdm) :) | 09:31 |
| JadedJacob | I guess I can forget about flash on a celeron 533 | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz_: I bet your PC has a bit more grunt than my POS | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | JadedJacob: use html5 ;) | 09:31 |
| lotuspsychje | on regular hd or ssd? | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | ActionParsnip: maybe ... :) | 09:31 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hi guys! | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | lotuspsychje: ssd | 09:32 |
| remoteCTRL1 | whenever i try to ssh -X and then execute whatever there i get an error 'Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomesegvhandler" ' google not helpful, any help apperciated! | 09:32 |
| lotuspsychje | llutz_: 5sec on ocelot 64 here | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: does the app actually run though? | 09:33 |
| llutz_ | lotuspsychje: ssd is fun | 09:33 |
| remoteCTRL1 | hi ActionParsnip yes it does but i cannot operate the app, it is frozen | 09:33 |
| JadedJacob | ohh xpud looks nice ;) | 09:34 |
| remoteCTRL1 | it isd firefox, opera, epiphany alike... | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: do apps like gedit etc work? | 09:34 |
| haylo | gedit works great | 09:34 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: i doubt it, just a sec to check back, pls... | 09:34 |
| winnie666 | hello! will /etc/rc.local still work if i change the interpreter to #!/bin/bash? | 09:34 |
| haylo | oh sorry im out of context | 09:35 |
| lotuspsychje | llutz_: agree, what brand you have? mine is a transcend slc | 09:35 |
| llutz_ | winnie666: yes | 09:35 |
| kalimojo | whats the best newsreader for ubuntu | 09:35 |
| winnie666 | thnx | 09:35 |
| llutz_ | lotuspsychje: OCZ agility3 | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | haylo: I prefer leafpad :) | 09:35 |
| Gentoo64 | llutz, custom kernel? | 09:35 |
| Gentoo64 | i find 4 sec hard t believe | 09:35 |
| Gentoo64 | :) | 09:35 |
| llutz_ | Gentoo64: debian sid | 09:35 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: same with gedit; it does start but then not respond. menu and all are dead... | 09:35 |
| SunTsu | kalimojo: "what's the best whatever" is something you really can't get a definitive answer to. Different people prefer different things | 09:35 |
| lotuspsychje | llutz_:wow cool, is that a 6G ssd? | 09:36 |
| llutz_ | Gentoo64: 3.2.0.xxxx plain amd64 distro-kernel | 09:36 |
| Gentoo64 | i cannot beat 5 seconds nomatter what | 09:36 |
| llutz_ | lotuspsychje: yes, with i5-2500k on asus h67-board | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz_: there is 3.3 on the kernel ppa | 09:36 |
| kalimojo | suntsu : can u suggest some and ill try them and see which i like | 09:36 |
| SunTsu | kalimojo: news as in usenet? | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz_: yeah thats a tonne more than my dual core 1.2Ghz 32bit with 3Gb RAM | 09:37 |
| llutz_ | ActionParsnip: debian... i won't import something from ppa/*buntu | 09:37 |
| SunTsu | kalimojo: or news as in rss fedds? | 09:37 |
| SunTsu | feeds even | 09:37 |
| kalimojo | yes usenet | 09:37 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: i am running 11.04 at home with gnome 2 and 11.10 at work with gnome 3 can that cause the problem? | 09:38 |
| [deXter] | ActionParsnip, strange.. my phone is also a 1.2ghz dual core ;) | 09:38 |
| llutz_ | Gentoo64: i haven't measured it properly, but watching my digital-clock its somewhat < 5 sec | 09:38 |
| SunTsu | kalimojo: I prefer slrn, second is mutt with news patch for me. But that's all cli. Others like thunderbird's news support | 09:38 |
| Gentoo64 | llutz, id be impressed if it did | 09:39 |
| kalimojo | id prefer a gui app | 09:39 |
| haylo | are remoteCTRL1 pathnames gone maybe? i have had that happen before to some extent | 09:39 |
| JadedJacob | Turbopup EXTREME looks pretty buggy. | 09:40 |
| remoteCTRL1 | haylo: interesting idea, but it only occurrs when i try to ssh -X, no problems opening apps locally... | 09:40 |
| haylo | JadedJacob, you can get 32 bit debian or maybe even lubuntu down really low | 09:40 |
| [deXter] | JadedJacob, I've run it on many old machines without any issues | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: swon't affect it, you have an X server for the app to stick to and that's all you need :) | 09:40 |
| Gentoo64 | kalimojo, just saw one called "pan" | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | [deXter]: yep, dell latitude D420, runs well | 09:41 |
| Gentoo64 | gnome newsreader | 09:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Gentoo64: 5 secs and below is not an exception anymore | 09:41 |
| SunTsu | kalimojo: there's so much news readers, you could apt-cache search them and evaluate what sounds best to you | 09:42 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: hmm... that makes sense... so what could be the cause? | 09:42 |
| llutz_ | kalimojo: claws | 09:42 |
| lotuspsychje | SunTsu: there are some good newsreaders around, just need the packagename | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: try: ssh -X -C username@host | 09:43 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: i will, just a sec, pls | 09:43 |
| llutz_ | why do people want GUIs for text-based things like irc/nntp/mail... | 09:43 |
| Gentoo64 | guis are nice :) | 09:44 |
| SunTsu | lotuspsychje: again: good depends on your needs and on what you prefer. you need to invest the time to find the one that's perfect for you | 09:44 |
| lotuspsychje | i like gui and ubuntu eyecandy :p | 09:44 |
| Gentoo64 | i use xchat and thunderbird in X and irssi and alpine in console | 09:44 |
| lotuspsychje | xchat is tha bomb :p | 09:45 |
| [deXter] | lotuspsychje, yes, I hear a lot of windows users say that lately ;) | 09:45 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: ok, that did the trick!! | 09:45 |
| SunTsu | llutz_: I prefer cli, too, especially because it runs in screen | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: (c)ompression | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | CLI for most things except irc (when I'm home) and web browser | 09:46 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: here comes one more: if i open firefox from my workplace with ssh -X -C am I supposed to be able to browse to a 10.0.5.1 ip-address that is within my workplaces network, or will it try to open it here locally? | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | you will need a VPN back to the workplace | 09:47 |
| lotuspsychje | kalimojo: NNTPgrab all the way | 09:47 |
| DarsVaeda | hi, I installed a program but forgot the name, now I can not find it anymore as it does not appear in the new unity menu...how can I find it, where is a list of all programs? or a list like in gnome, sorted by topic | 09:47 |
| === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado | ||
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: cos what i am actually trying to accomplish is to reach my institute's firewall's webfrontend... | 09:47 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: which is only reachable from my very own computer at my workplace | 09:47 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: humm, i guess i will install NX :) | 09:48 |
| SunTsu | remoteCTRL1: use ssh as a socks proxy | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: then you will need the external IP as the process for the browser is running outside the LAN, the fact it is displayed internally on a remote X server is moot | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: using NX will achieve nothing different | 09:48 |
| lotuspsychje | SunTsu got a link with good socks? | 09:48 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: NX will achieve that i can connect to my desktop session and do it from there... | 09:49 |
| remoteCTRL1 | SunTsu: i wouldn't know how to do that? | 09:49 |
| llutz_ | remoteCTRL1: ssh-tunnel is what you want | 09:49 |
| lotuspsychje | DarsVaze | 09:49 |
| remoteCTRL1 | llutz_: NX basically creates that, but if i can do that easier i would like to try it? | 09:49 |
| lotuspsychje | DarsVaeda: just press dash home and type your programs name | 09:49 |
| DarsVaeda | I DO NOT KNOW IT -.- | 09:50 |
| SunTsu | remoteCTRL1: http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/12/08/ssh-tunnel-socks-proxy-forwarding-secure-browsing/ | 09:50 |
| Gentoo64 | DarsVaeda, cant be that important then :) | 09:50 |
| DarsVaeda | sorry but that is the usual answer you get and it starts to **** me off cause it wont work ^^ | 09:50 |
| SunTsu | remoteCTRL1: basically it's -D <port> and use that as socks proxy in your browser - done | 09:51 |
| DarsVaeda | gentoo64: I do not use it often | 09:51 |
| nothingspecial | DarsVaeda, less /var/log/apt/history.log will show you what you've installed | 09:52 |
| lotuspsychje | DarsVaeda: maybe to find it in /etc | 09:52 |
| Gentoo64 | DarsVaeda, is it a gui app? | 09:52 |
| DarsVaeda | it is about svn but if I enter svn it does not pop up, although I'm sure it has svn in the name | 09:52 |
| DarsVaeda | its gui | 09:52 |
| remoteCTRL1 | DarsVaeda: i believe your best option is to use synaptic and to filter there | 09:52 |
| BoyOfWuHan | how can I turn the message that someone comein chat room or quit off... | 09:52 |
| Gentoo64 | DarsVaeda, try usr share applications | 09:52 |
| remoteCTRL1 | SunTsu: sounds fairly easy... | 09:52 |
| BoyOfWuHan | I used pidgin client.. | 09:52 |
| Pumpkin- | /win 32 | 09:52 |
| Pumpkin- | asdjasda | 09:52 |
| remoteCTRL1 | ActionParsnip: thanks for your help so far, dude, appreciate it as always! | 09:52 |
| haylo | DarsVaeda, you can look in the software center or you can type : which command to see they are in /bin | 09:53 |
| irvken | how do I a user to a group and how do i see if the group exists first | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | remoteCTRL1: thanks for the gratitude. It makes a difference :) | 09:53 |
| DarsVaeda | it is not in /usr/share/applications | 09:53 |
| llutz_ | irvken: "getent group" "sudo adduser username groupname" | 09:53 |
| haylo | we love u ActionParsnip | 09:54 |
| haylo | :) | 09:54 |
| llutz_ | irvken: err "getent group groupname" | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | irvken: grep name /etc/group | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | irvken: checks the group exists | 09:54 |
| irvken | it says I'm not in the sudoers file | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | BoyOfWuHan: you want them OFF you mean? | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | BoyOfWuHan: I use pidgin | 09:55 |
| f00sa | hello all ;> | 09:55 |
| BoyOfWuHan | yes | 09:55 |
| irvken | I thought adding myself to the admin group would add me to the sudoers file | 09:55 |
| BoyOfWuHan | How to turn the messages off,that someone enter chatroom or quit? | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | BoyOfWuHan: in the main window, its a plugin you can enable | 09:55 |
| llutz_ | irvken: logout, login again | 09:55 |
| irvken | it seems to imply that in the sudoer file | 09:55 |
| BoyOfWuHan | ActionParsnip:which one? | 09:56 |
| irvken | cheers llutz that worked | 09:56 |
| irvken | all done | 09:56 |
| DarsVaeda | software-center did it :) it is called "kdesvn" and if you search for "kde" in the menu it is found but not with "svn" ... bad luck | 09:56 |
| llutz_ | irvken: you always have to do that to let group-changes take effect | 09:56 |
| BoyOfWuHan | ActionParsnip:which plugin | 09:57 |
| obo | hi all | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | BoyOfWuHan: scroll the list down a few, it's called join/part hiding (thought that would be obvious).. | 09:57 |
| obo | I'm trying to use evolution to connect my exchage server 2003 . "Its throwing Exchange server is not compatible with exchage Connector".Couuld someone help on this | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | obo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EvolutionExchange | 09:59 |
| _skpl | ./obo first thing you wanna do is get a good grip on yiur anus | 09:59 |
| BoyOfWuHan | thanks.. | 09:59 |
| BoyOfWuHan | ActionParsnip:thanks.. | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | _skpl: not constructive.. | 09:59 |
| ActionParsnip | BoyOfWuHan: np man | 10:01 |
| bobdobbs | hi all. I'm running ubuntu 10.something (not sure how to get version number). I did an update using apt. After a reboot, I have no networking and no X. How can I recover? | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | bobdobbs: cat /etc/lsb_release | 10:02 |
| bobdobbs | I think X isn't working because I have nvidia drivers, and I need to recompile them, because the update reinstalled the kernel | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bobdobbs: will tell you | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bobdobbs: if you hold shift at boot, select the old kernel, is it ok there? | 10:02 |
| bobdobbs | ActionParsnip: thanks. Looks like I have 10.10 | 10:02 |
| bobdobbs | ActionParsnip: I bet it will. I'll give it a shot. | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bobdobbs: maverick is EOL in april | 10:03 |
| bal | how to set swap memeory? arter installing ubuntu? | 10:03 |
| bobdobbs | ActionParsnip: thanks for the heads-up | 10:04 |
| f00sa | Do you recommend any ATI Radeon GPU? relatevely new one... | 10:05 |
| aBound | I'd take an nVidia card over ATI. | 10:05 |
| overclucker | clear | 10:05 |
| overclucker | opps | 10:05 |
| f00sa | hm | 10:05 |

| bal | how to set virtual memory in ubuntu? | 10:06 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, I know but they're taking their sweet time it seems. nVidia seems to write better drivers and seems to be more stable. | 10:07 |

| aBound | f00sa, With the nVidia driver you can always fallback on the open source nvidia driver yet it doesn't seem to support 3D acceleration. As of yet... | 10:09 |
| llutz_ | bal: buy more ram? | 10:10 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 10:10 |
| anomie2 | Hey all, we had about 3 computers in the office stop working (hard drive failures). Just got soe new hard drives in. Installed Ubuntu fine on one, but then the computer started switching itself off everytime you turned it on (before I got to the ubuntu starting screen). So I figured it must have faulty ram and took the HD out and swiched it into another computer (same model) but now that computer is stuck on the ubuntu loading scr | 10:10 |
| SunTsu | remoteCTRL1: what ssh tunnel? You only need to ssh to the box using -D and can use a socks proxy immediately | 10:10 |
| bobdobbs | ActionParsnip: ok - I've managed to get the computer to boot normally, but it still has no X and no networking. Is there a way I can manually switch back to the old kernel ? | 10:11 |
| bal | llutz_: one peroson told me to create swap memory partition and it will give u much performent . but i don't know how to assing swap memory | 10:11 |
| overclucker | remoteCTRL1: ssh -D 6666 -f -q -N user@host is what i use | 10:11 |
| SunTsu | anomie2: lines in IRC are limited. Your line was too long and was cut off at "stuck on the ubuntu loading scr" | 10:11 |
| llutz_ | bal: swap won't really speed up things. do you hava swap partition? | 10:11 |
| remoteCTRL1 | overclucker: , ok, i will try, thanks | 10:12 |
| bal | llutz_: i created swap partion | 10:12 |
| CtrlAltDel | does anyone know of a decent comfy way (meaning NOT winff) to easily convert videos to h264-flvs? | 10:12 |
| llutz_ | bal: "sudo blkid |grep swap" | 10:12 |
| overclucker | remoteCTRL1: then just use localhost:6666 as a socks proxy in your applications that support socks | 10:12 |
| llutz_ | bal: that'll give you the uuid of your swap-partition. add an entry to /etc/fstab withthat UUID | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | bobdobbs: you could tweak the default kernel in /etc/default/grub then run: sudo update-grub | 10:12 |
| overclucker | remoteCTRL1: or whatever port you decide on | 10:12 |

| llutz_ | lotuspsychje: maybe that is what you meant. it could happen, that you will have small unused gaps between partitions, but those are only a few MB | 10:16 |
| lotuspsychje | llutz_: never tryed it myself, but i think the idea behind it is, to have faster access times on the half used ssd partition | 10:16 |

| CtrlAltDel | thx :) | 10:16 |

| ActionParsnip | CtrlAltDel: gui is slow ;) | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | aBound: no, i just websearch, just like anyone else can.. | 10:16 |
| llutz_ | lotuspsychje: since there is no head to be positioned etc on ssd, that makes no sense to me. but honestly, idk | 10:16 |
| aBound | ActionParsnip, Ugh cause I know in firefox you can set search engines as keywords. :P | 10:17 |
| lotuspsychje | llutz_:anyway with 6G i don't think its really needed :p | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | CtrlAltDel: you could make a script that takes an arg (the file name) then spits out ~/Desktop/result.flv | 10:17 |

| jfcaron | ActionParsnip: fdisk -l tells me that I have two disks, sda and sdb. From mount I know that one of the partitions of sda is /, does this mean that sdb is the external drive? I think it might be another internal drive. | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | bobosomfan: not sure it supports maverick but worth a shot | 10:47 |
| === aLeSD__ is now known as aLeSD| | ||
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: ive tested eidete and it crashes my desktop, xvidcap was pretty handy and lightweight | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jfcaron: yes sdb will be the drive and you will mount /dev/sdb1 as the first partition | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: tried recordmydesktop too? | 10:48 |
| jfcaron | ActionParsnip: Ok. Thanks. | 10:48 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: yes thats a bit better, and i found out the option to encode while recordingµ | 10:48 |
| bobdobbs | ActionParsnip: sorry, dropped off. Lappy overheated. back on my problem pc now | 10:49 |
| bobdobbs | ActionParsnip: So, it looks like noveau works fine. | 10:49 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: but still xvidcap had a better specific area movement | 10:49 |
| bobdobbs | ActionParsnip: | 10:49 |
| bobdobbs | ActionParsnip: my next step will be to get video effects and twin monitors working. | 10:50 |
| DXBLouie` | exit | 10:51 |
| DXBLouie` | err | 10:51 |
| jfcaron | ActionParsnip: I think that my sdb is actually a second internal drive, and that my external USB drive is not being recognized. Is there any way to check this? | 10:51 |
| pfifo | jfcaron, does `sudo fdisk -l` show the USB drive? | 10:52 |
| jfcaron | pfifo: fdisk -l tells me that there is an sda and an sdb, the problem is that I think neither of them are the USB drive. | 10:52 |
| haylo | unetbootin detects usb | 10:52 |
| haylo | is a pain to use it that way though | 10:52 |
| pfifo | jfcaron, so your USB and your internal drive are the same size and have the same partition layout? | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | jfcaron: if you attached it after you logged in, run: dmesg | tail -n 20 there may be clues there | 10:53 |
| pfifo | jfcaron, maybe this will give you a hint `ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/` | 10:55 |
| devish | upload speed is almost 0 in my system therefore i am not able to open most of the sites, how can i correct it | 10:56 |
| pfifo | devish, complain to your ISP for not giving you enough bandwidth | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | devish: if you run: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list what is output? use a pastebin to host. Thanks | 10:57 |
| jfcaron | pfifo: your ls -la command tells me that the sda and sdb are both SATA internal drives, Maxtor brand, while the external one is a Toshiba. | 10:57 |
| pfifo | jfcaron, those are symlinks pointing to real devices (/dev/sdXY) | 10:58 |
| jfcaron | ActionParsnip: your dmesg command tells me that it connected a usb device "using ehci_hcd and address 9" | 10:58 |

| === michael is now known as Guest95884 | ||
| jfcaron | pfifo: Yes, those symlinks are all pointing to sda and sdb, but the names of the links call them ata-Maxtor_foo and scsi-1ATA_Maxtor_foo. | 10:59 |
| pfifo | jfcaron, you should be able to use them to determine which drive is the USB, or if there is a problem with the USB not showing up | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | jfcaron: when you last unplugged the device, what steps did you take prior to unplugging it? | 11:00 |
| jfcaron | ActionParsnip: The computer was shut down before unplugging the device when it was last unplugged. | 11:01 |
| jfcaron | pfifo: Yes, I think the problem is that the USB drive is not showing up in /dev/disk/by-id/ | 11:01 |
| pfifo | jfcaron, are you sure the drive is plugged in, and has a powerd usb port or external power? | 11:02 |
| === vivek_ is now known as Vivek | ||
| jfcaron | pfifo: Well, it is definitely plugged in to a usb port, and the indicator light on the drive turns on. I guess I don't actually know if that port was "powered" any more than a standard usb port. | 11:03 |
| obo | ActionParsnip: Configured as per wiki only but not hope :( | 11:03 |
| pfifo | jfcaron, maybe rebooting the remote machine will help | 11:03 |
| zykotick9 | pfifo: pufff, reboot, that's for windows (or adding hardware) | 11:03 |
| devish | ActionParsnip: currently don't have the system with me but will check and let you know, meanwhile some other checks you wants to see | 11:04 |
| pfifo | zykotick9, well since he cant physically unplug and replug the drive, reboot is far better then rmmod | 11:04 |
| jfcaron | pfifo: Ok, I will also see if someone can plug the USB drive into a different USB port (on the rear of the box, for example). | 11:05 |
| pfifo | jfcaron, that is a good idea, external harddrives use some power (those usb keys dont however) | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jfcaron: should be ok with that | 11:06 |
| Gallomimia | okay. got inturrupted by RL when i was asking a question | 11:06 |

| ubottu | Gallomimia: 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 | 11:07 |
| flowerpot | Why is it that mount returns 14 things mounted but /etc/fstab only lists 3 things? | 11:07 |
| === skilz is now known as Guest78025 | ||
| lotuspsychje | Gallomimia: add the sources to software centre and sudo apt-get update | 11:08 |
| pfifo | flowerpot, /etc/fstab is only used to mount devices on system startup (apples to oranges) | 11:08 |
| zykotick9 | flowerpot: don't count tmpfs proc sysfs udev stuff, they aren't drives | 11:08 |
| llutz_ | flowerpot: lots of things a system-mounted, tempf/dev-fs sysfs etc that isnt done in fstab | 11:08 |
| flowerpot | proc is included in /etc/fstab; why aren't the others? where are these other things being mounted if not at system startup? | 11:09 |
| pfifo | flowerpot, you dont need /proc in fstab | 11:09 |
| === Guest78025 is now known as skilz | ||
| zykotick9 | pfifo: are you sure about that? | 11:09 |
| Gallomimia | thanks lotuspsychje just an update seems to have fixed that | 11:10 |
| Gallomimia | (durr herp) | 11:10 |
| flowerpot | special things like proc and tmpfs aside, when i insert a cd, how does it get auto-mounted? what service is doing that? | 11:10 |
| llutz_ | flowerpot: most of that is done by udev | 11:11 |
| pfifo | zykotick9, certian | 11:11 |
| flowerpot | I see. And does udev manage these other things like tmpfs that aren't listed in /etc/fstab but which show up in mount? | 11:11 |
| pfifo | zykotick9, you dont need fstab at all :) | 11:11 |
| Gallomimia | hooray for ucalgary and their cpsc dept's mirror | 11:12 |
| llutz_ | pfifo: if you want to use more than / , you'll need /etc/fstab | 11:12 |
| pfifo | flowerpot, dbus is responsible for automounting | 11:12 |
| nyancattt | anyone experience this before ? | 11:12 |
| bazhang | nyancattt, this being what? | 11:12 |
| nyancattt | when start up ubuntu the user interface suddenly change back to "old grey looking" | 11:13 |
| pfifo | llutz, you mean... if you want more than / mounted automatically at boot, you'll need /etc/fstab | 11:13 |
| llutz_ | pfifo: yes | 11:13 |
| flowerpot | pfifo, llutz zykotick9 are there any other services apart from udev and dbus that play a role in the automatic detection and mounting of file systems or special things like proc? | 11:13 |

| Gateway` | Hello everybody | 11:28 |
| Gateway` | How I can fix a problem related to mysql | 11:28 |
| Gateway` | max_join_size | 11:28 |
| gertno371 | Hello Gateway` | 11:29 |
| gertno371 | Gateway`: State the problem | 11:29 |
| Gateway` | after rebooting the system, everything starts well but mysql (failed) | 11:30 |
| Gateway` | and while checking I found that mysql returns a max_join_size error | 11:30 |
| nyancatt | the system crash when using compuwiz --... after closing the terminal | 11:31 |
| Gateway` | here is the version of mysql 5.0.68 | 11:31 |
| Gateway` | on some websites, they tell that upgrading is the solution | 11:31 |
| gertno371 | Gateway`: That's the only error? Is a query being run as soon as MySQL starts? MAX_JOIN_SIZE indicates a query is using lots of joins | 11:32 |
| Gateway` | gertno371, I know what that means | 11:32 |
| Gateway` | and I read on some websites that's a bug | 11:32 |
| Gateway` | and I have to upgrade | 11:33 |
| pfifo | Gateway`, anyreason your not simply upgrading then? | 11:33 |
| Gateway` | pfifo, I'm afraid of losing data or configuration | 11:33 |
| MikeDB | try installing mysql admin then you could fix the max join size | 11:34 |
| pfifo | Gateway`, then run some tests in KVM until your comfortable with the process | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nyancatt: add a startup item to run the command | 11:34 |
| zykotick9 | pfifo: KVM suggestion instead of VBox - i like it! :) | 11:34 |
| Gateway` | MikeDB, Can I access that via phpmyadmin ? | 11:35 |
| pfifo | vbox is an ugly mess | 11:35 |
| zykotick9 | pfifo: agreed | 11:35 |
| pfifo | just like oracle | 11:35 |
| llutz_ | but people like. click, click, vm done | 11:35 |
| nyancatt | actionparsnip , anyway the command doesn't change the ui back to the original | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | pfifo: its quick but nasty | 11:35 |
| MikeDB | it is a package in "Ubuntu Software Center" | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | nyancatt: if you log in as another user, is it ok (make a new user if needed) | 11:37 |
| zykotick9 | MikeDB: saying a package is in Ubuntu's default repository, or something along those lines, makes more sense then "in U.S.C." | 11:37 |

| ActionParsnip | app: use samba to share the folder, then access the system like a system on LAN, should be ok | 11:44 |

| zykotick9 | pfifo: and the 1 VM i dislike even more then VBox.... VMWare | 11:45 |

| ikonia | yumbo: yes, because it's still active, you'll need to make sure it's not in use (unmount it, change the logical volume to not active, and maybe even the volume group depending on it's status) | 12:17 |
| levant_turk | oky i got the answer if i have only one panel i cant delete it ubuntu help says this | 12:17 |
| yumbo | ikonia, ah, thank you | 12:18 |
| engineeruk | problem"my hostname is not in the dudoers file.this incident will be reported | 12:18 |
| ikonia | LjL: cross channel, same spam | 12:18 |
| engineeruk | how is possible it? | 12:19 |
| zykotick9 | engineeruk: hostname or username? | 12:19 |
| zykotick9 | engineeruk: in a terminal type "groups" you should be in the admin group (if you just added yourself, you need to logout/back in for it to take effect) | 12:20 |
| yumbo | ikonia, do you know what the command is to mark a lv unactive? | 12:20 |
| ikonia | yumbo: lvchange | 12:21 |
| yumbo | ikonia, thanks | 12:21 |
| ikonia | yumbo: before we go any further, it maybe worth having a read up on an overview of how LVM works | 12:21 |

| noplv426 | does anyone have a solution for visioconf? | 12:25 |
| yumbo | ikonia, lvdisplay tells me "LV Status NOT available", I also umounted the volume, but it still gives me "Can't pvremove physical volume "/dev/sda5" of volume group "fileserver" without -ff" ? | 12:26 |
| bazhang | noplv426, whats that | 12:26 |
| ikonia | yumbo: did you lvchange it ? | 12:26 |
| noplv426 | video conferences. i've tryed with vlvc but still a poor solution. | 12:26 |
| yumbo | ikonia, yes, that's why I said " lvdisplay tells me "LV Status NOT available"" | 12:26 |
| winnie666 | hmm, is there a way to stop the openssh-daemon? | 12:26 |
| winnie666 | i am sorry i am a bit lost, openssh is not a service? | 12:27 |
| llutz_ | winnie666: sudo service ssh stop | 12:27 |
| bazhang | noplv426, vlc? | 12:27 |
| yumbo | ikonia, before the "lvchange -a n" it said that it was "Available" | 12:27 |
| winnie666 | ssh: unrecognized service | 12:27 |
| winnie666 | openssh-server is already the newest version | 12:27 |
| ikonia | yumbo: ok - you may have to change the volume group to not active too, it depends if other voulumes are using that physical device | 12:27 |
| noplv426 | yes vlvc is a special version of vlc...to use video conf. | 12:27 |
| bazhang | noplv426, please explain clearly what you are trying to do, what you have done so far, any errors you have encountered: paste.ubuntu.com with the exact errors | 12:28 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: canto looks nice tnx mate, now playing time :p | 12:28 |
| winnie666 | sorry nevermind | 12:29 |
| yumbo | ikonia, ok I did "vgchange -a n fileserver" which gave me a "0 logical volume(s) in volume group "fileserver" now active" | 12:29 |
| MestreLion | how can i know if my current shell is a login or non-login shell? | 12:29 |
| yumbo | ikonia, but it still says that it can't pvremove without -ff | 12:29 |
| winnie666 | i purged openssh and reinstalled it and i can stop the service now, might have something to do with me starting to delete everything from / with rsync earlier today :) | 12:29 |
| bitcode | my internet sharing is disconnecting automatically | 12:29 |
| pfifo | can I format a partition ntfs from linux? | 12:29 |
| ikonia | yumbo: ok, that's not bad, it's just asking you to confirm with "force" that you want to do this (good thing as removing a disk by accident is not good) | 12:29 |
| MestreLion | pfifo: yes, use gparted | 12:30 |
| yumbo | ikonia, ok, I will do that then now | 12:30 |
| noplv426 | thx bazhang. in fact i try to use vlvc for a free solution of videoconferencing | 12:30 |
| pfifo | MestreLion, ahh, that will work :) | 12:31 |
| MestreLion | pfifo: ;) | 12:31 |
| bitcode | hi | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | MestreLion: echo $SHELL will show you the shell you are using. | 12:31 |
| MestreLion | pfifo: Disk Utility is also a great tool | 12:31 |
| yumbo | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/823760/ That doesn't look like it transferred the data :S | 12:31 |
| ikonia | yumbo: labels | 12:32 |
| llutz_ | pfifo: mkfs.ntfs -f /dev/foo | 12:32 |
| MestreLion | ActionParsnip: it just shows the executable... not if the shell is a login or non-login one | 12:32 |
| bazhang | http://askubuntu.com/questions/30693/what-video-conferencing-software-is-available noplv426 have a look here | 12:32 |
| pfifo | MestreLion, format to ntfs option is disabled, looks like im missing an underlying tool | 12:32 |
| yumbo | ikonia, what should I do now? | 12:32 |
| ashish__ | i m not getting right cpu usage after reading /proc/stat file | 12:33 |
| ikonia | yumbo: nothing, you should be able to activate the volume group and volumes now | 12:33 |
| llutz_ | pfifo: apt-get install ntfsprogs | 12:33 |
| MestreLion | pfifo: weird... what version you using? | 12:33 |
| yumbo | ikonia, this is what I get then: http://paste.ubuntu.com/823762/ | 12:33 |
| noplv426 | Thx bazhang. But i need a free, open and independant solution ;-) | 12:34 |
| ikonia | yumbo: how many disks where in the volume group ? | 12:34 |
| pfifo | MestreLion, 0.5.1 with a fresh install via debootsrap | 12:34 |
| yumbo | ikonia, 2 disks | 12:34 |
| ikonia | use --partial then to see if it starts | 12:34 |
| noplv426 | that's why i use vlvc. but i can't script settings to make it transparent for users | 12:34 |
| pfifo | MestreLion, had to install ntfsprogs | 12:34 |
| yumbo | ikonia, ok | 12:34 |
| ashish__ | i used formula usage =(user+nice+sys)/(idle+user+nice+sys) | 12:35 |
| bazhang | noplv426, that links shows some free solutions. please look carefully | 12:35 |
| MestreLion | pfifo: usually ntfsprogs comes pre-installed by default in ubuntu | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | MestreLion: not sure, the guys in #bash may know a trick or 3 | 12:35 |
| MestreLion | pfifo: i mean.. what Ubuntu version? | 12:35 |
| LjL | noplv426: unfortunately video conferencing software is kind of lacking. the "traditional" solution is vic+rat, but it's old and requires multicasting support. | 12:35 |
| yumbo | ikonia, this is what I got: http://paste.ubuntu.com/823766/ | 12:36 |
| pfifo | MestreLion, 10.04 32 | 12:37 |
| ikonia | yumbo: did you do a vgchange first ? | 12:37 |
| yumbo | ikonia, yes, with --partial | 12:37 |
| ikonia | yumbo: if you do an lvdisplay what do you see ? | 12:37 |
| MestreLion | pfifo: on, the venerable Lucid :D yes, ntfs wasnt shipped in it... | 12:38 |
| yumbo | ikonia, this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/823770/ | 12:38 |
| noplv426 | txh LjL, i discover this "plume project" with VIC+RAT. | 12:38 |
| MestreLion | pfifo: i mean, not out of the box... but you can grab both ntfsprogs and ntfs-3g via software center | 12:38 |
| pfifo | MestreLion, from debootstrap it doesnt matter what was shipped ;) | 12:38 |
| ikonia | yumbo: did you have all the pv allocated to the vg ? | 12:38 |
| MestreLion | not sure what debootstrap is | 12:39 |
| yumbo | ikonia, not sure what that means? | 12:39 |
| ikonia | yumbo: I think you needed to do a vgreduce first before removing the pv | 12:39 |
| yumbo | oh | 12:39 |
| yumbo | shit | 12:39 |
| LjL | noplv426: linky? i can't find it on google | 12:39 |
| ikonia | yumbo: as I said it depended on your setup and suggested checking up the overview before doing it | 12:39 |
| ikonia | yumbo: easy on the language | 12:39 |
| yumbo | sorry | 12:40 |
| ikonia | yumbo: you may get lucky here | 12:40 |
| ikonia | yumbo: do a pvcreate on it and re-add it (some data will probably be missing) | 12:40 |
| noplv426 | I need a standalone solution, without registration (ekiga,...) or middleware (webservices) independant. i gonna try to deep with VIC-RAT http://www.projet-plume.org | 12:40 |

| === Guest96249 is now known as Vivek | ||
| GyrosGeier | so it goes into "press 'S' to Skip mounting" mode | 13:16 |

| GyrosGeier | any idea how to turn that off? | 13:16 |

| matt1982 | ooh interesting. I already have a Zoostorm windows tablet from work but windows is not made to be on a tablet its really hard UI | 13:25 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: So your computer is connected directly to the DSL Modem? | 13:25 |
| bijoyvj | i believe it must be a router. it also has wireless capability and can connect multiple lines | 13:25 |
| Dijon | How can i install software in ubuntu | 13:26 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: Ok, the DSL Modem also acts as a router. Ok got it. | 13:26 |
| bijoyvj | ok | 13:26 |
| aeon-ltd | Dijon: software center or apt-get | 13:26 |
| Dijon | what is apt-get | 13:27 |
| Dijon | ? | 13:27 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: Have you checked the ethernet cable, especially the connectors, to see that the clips on the connectors are securely locked in place at both ends. | 13:27 |
| bijoyvj | let me add some more info on the connection issue | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | bijoyvj: can you ping 8.8.8.8? | 13:27 |
| lotuspsychje | !aptitude | Dijon | 13:28 |
| ubottu | Dijon: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 13:28 |
| m4k | Which is ubuntu installer | 13:28 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: You might want to try a fresh new network cable. | 13:28 |
| bijoyvj | usr13: i have trouble only when I switched to oneiric. lucid worked absolutely fine. and yes, the physical connections are secure | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | m4k: the app you run to initiate tyhe installer of the OS is called ubiquity | 13:29 |
| lotuspsychje | zykotick9: whats the command to open a feed to read it in canto? | 13:29 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: Ok, fine. Just wanted to eliminate that issue first. (Because I've seen just that type of intermitten connection / disconnect problem due to loose cable.) | 13:29 |
| bijoyvj | ok, some more info on my issue: dsl indicator on the modem goes off sometime and then blinks and comes back. usually, the network manager reconnects and I continue to stay online. but ever since i moved to oneiric, it does not reconnect. but shows no network device | 13:30 |
| m4k | ActionParnip: which is non-graphical installer. Like alternate cd | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | bijoyvj: have you tried wicd | 13:31 |
| m4k | What its name | 13:31 |
| bijoyvj | i am sorry that I do not have much expertise on this and cannot describe better | 13:31 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: This could be a problem with the network-manager. You might try uninstalling the network-manager and just leave the network configuration set to "auto" or "dhcp" and see if that fixes it. Or, you might just try installing wicd. | 13:31 |
| bijoyvj | action: no, is it a connection manager? | 13:31 |
| metaspike | bijoyvj, ethernet or wireless? | 13:31 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: Also: Have you fully updated your system? | 13:31 |
| usr13 | metaspike: ethernet | 13:32 |
| bijoyvj | ok, let me try wicd. I am not comfortable with uninstaling and meddling witht he config files :) | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bijoyvj: its an alternative to network manager, install wicd then uninstall network manager, then reboot | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bijoyvj: if you only always use the wired connection I'd just use the interfaces file and not even bother with a network manager app | 13:32 |
| bijoyvj | thanks guys. will try that and come back to pester you if i still have trouble | 13:33 |

Both network machines can ping each other, 46.0 network can ssh to 45.0 network but 45.0 network machines are not able to gain ssh access to 46.0 machines, any guidance please | 13:38 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: And be sure to allow the wicd install to add you to the group as it suggests, (netconfig I think it is). | 13:38 |
| bijoyvj | ok | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | bijoyvj: you'll needs SPACE and ENTER to set it | 13:39 |
| metaspike | virtuaposta, they are on different subnets? maybe you could add the desired host to /etc/hosts or forward that ip with the router somehow | 13:39 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: Maybe it' | 13:39 |
| usr13 | bijoyvj: Maybe it's netdev | 13:39 |
| virtuaposta | metaspike, no i cant forward 22 port to all the machines in the network | 13:40 |

| Elssha | sda3, by the way | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | m4k: when the text installer starts | 13:52 |
| usr13 | m4k: He means for you to hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys while hitting F2 key | 13:52 |
| dragly | m4k, that will give you access to a full-screen terminal that is always available. To get back you can press ctrl+alt+f7. | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | m4k: probably CTRL+ALT+F1 as its the alternate text installer (No X) | 13:53 |
| zykotick9 | dragly: technically when you're in a VT, just ALT+F7 will get you back, CTRL only needed inside X | 13:53 |

| Pumpkin- | if you are trying to max out a single transfer over 2 (or more) DSL lines, that can be hard. If you are trying to load balance many connections, then you can have two totally independant connections, and select which one to use on a per connection basis using something like round robin NAT in iptables.

| Gentoo64 | Elssha: because its ntfs | 14:40 |
| Elssha | but when i tried adding it to grub it said something about a missing boot loader | 14:41 |
| Elssha | >_< | 14:41 |
| Gentoo64 | thats normal to list it like that | 14:41 |
| Ares_ | I have video laggs on websites,games,programs it sometimes haven't got lags but just sometimes maybe someone know how to fix it? I tried to install drivers from amd.com I use Ubuntu 10.10 x64 | 14:41 |

| cordoval | why mouse is going crazy? | 14:42 |
| cordoval | in latest ubuntu | 14:42 |
| Gentoo64 | cordoval: how? | 14:42 |
| Gentoo64 | lol | 14:42 |
| cordoval | mouse going crazy problem, randomly | 14:43 |
| cordoval | is this a known bug? | 14:43 |
| Gentoo64 | maybe it is the actual mouse? | 14:43 |
| cordoval | no | 14:43 |
| cordoval | it is not the mouse, I remember someone reported it smoetime ago | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: is it a laptop with usb mouse, laptop with touchpad or a desktop with a mouse? | 14:43 |
| cordoval | it removed ccsm and the issue just got worse | 14:43 |
| sipior | Naeblis: could you pastebin the error you're getting? | 14:43 |
| cordoval | laptop | 14:43 |
| cordoval | usb mouse+touchpad | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: what make and model? Is it the touchpad or a USB mouse? | 14:43 |
| cordoval | asus g73jw | 14:44 |
| Naeblis | sipior: http://pastebin.com/hK1XHaNw | 14:44 |
| cordoval | the problem happens with both | 14:44 |
| usr13 | cordoval: If you unplug the external USB mouse, does the touchpad mouse work ok? | 14:44 |
| cordoval | yes | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: do you have the latest BIOS? | 14:45 |
| cordoval | how to tell? I never upgraded | 14:45 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: cordoval Yes, could be a problem with USB. | 14:46 |
| tejaswidp | how do I get a live cd to run on a really old computer with no support for live cd booting? | 14:46 |
| dholbach | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek starting in 14 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: if you plug in the mouse then run: modprobe -r psmouse; modprobe psmouse is it ok? | 14:46 |
| sipior | Naeblis: don't see the problem here. have you updated recently? | 14:46 |
| Naeblis | sipior, haven't updated the system, if that's what you mean. | 14:47 |
| zykotick9 | tejaswidp: a computer that is unable to boot from a CD, is VERY unlikely to have the power to run Ubuntu (LiveCD or installed). That must be an OLD machine. | 14:47 |
| cordoval | yes ~ sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sudo modprobe psmouse [sudo] password for cordoval: success | 14:48 |
| tejaswidp | zykotick9: I was thinking running a really lightweight distro and not necessarily ubuntu | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: do you always use the external mouse? | 14:48 |
| cordoval | yes because laptop is a workhorse so it is always in a fix place | 14:48 |
| cordoval | i use mouse and keyboard external | 14:48 |
| sipior | Naeblis: i meant updating the software center index. | 14:48 |
| usr13 | cordoval: I suppose you could add those commands to /etc/rc.local (if you intend to always use the USB mouse). | 14:49 |
| cordoval | do those command make a difference regarding the problem? | 14:49 |
| usr13 | cordoval: What? | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: with the USB mouse attached, can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsmod; lsb_release -a; uname -a Thanks | 14:49 |
| sipior | Naeblis: out of curiosity, do you get the same error when installing via apt-get? | 14:50 |
| sharkmap | help. trying to install 11.10 as a dual boot onto the second partition of the second hard drive, but the install gives the error "no root file system is defined. please correct this from the partition menu. but what do I do there? I can TIA | 14:50 |
| sharkmap | can't figur out where to go from here | 14:50 |
| Naeblis | sipior, let me try. | 14:50 |
| usr13 | cordoval lsmod ; lsb_release -a ; uname -a | pastebinit #Show us resulting URL | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: ooh didn't know that would work, sweet | 14:51 |
| LjL | usr13: that won't work, only the last command's output will be pastebinned | 14:51 |
| cordoval | http://paste.ubuntu.com/823903/ | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | LjL: that's why I got excited | 14:51 |
| cordoval | let me do it right | 14:52 |
| Tostada | I'm running 11.10 x64.. I installed a theme called "Elementary Dark" using Synaptic package manager, now the package manager will open but immediately closes. Would anybody have time to look at my log file.? Thanks.. : ) | 14:52 |
| cordoval | i think i need to pipe with >2& | 14:52 |
| usr13 | LjL: Is correct | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: good enough, ok what is the output of: lsmod | pastebinit | 14:52 |
| LjL | usr13, ActionParsnip, cordoval: ( lsmod ; lsb_release -a ; uname -a ) | pastebinit | 14:52 |
| Naeblis | sipior, different here. | 14:53 |
| Naeblis | chromium-browser : Depends: libnss3-1d (>= 3.12.3) but it is not going to be installed | 14:53 |
| Naeblis | E: Broken packages | 14:53 |
| cordoval | http://paste.ubuntu.com/823905/ | 14:53 |
| sipior | Naeblis: might try an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade first. | 14:54 |
| usr13 | lsmod > info ; lsb_release -a >> info ; uname -a >> info ; pastebinit info ; rm info | 14:54 |
| usr13 | kinda sloppy but works. | 14:54 |
| LjL | usr13: ew | 14:54 |
| cordoval | http://paste.ubuntu.com/823908/ | 14:55 |
| sipior | usr13: i'll second that "ew". | 14:55 |
| Teddy1 | hi | 14:55 |
| xfilesman | hi | 14:55 |
| usr13 | lsusb would be good to see too.... | 14:55 |
| Naeblis | sipior, apt-get dist-upgrade ? | 14:55 |

| Bassy | Oh I'm sorry wrong channel | 14:56 |
| prashant_123456 | where is the themes folder located in gnome ?? | 14:56 |
| usr13 | Ok, gotta run. ttyl.... | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: if you run: sudo modprobe -r psmouse does the touchpad cease to work but the USB keep going? | 14:56 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: whoever has a file named "info" that's going to be deleted, cares | 14:56 |
| cordoval | ActionParsnip: yes | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | LjL: it is devoid of sudo so the user will only have write access to it's $HOME | 14:57 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: ... ok? | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: does the mouse pointer work ok? | 14:57 |
| cordoval | yes | 14:57 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: usually files the user cares about *are* in $HOME | 14:57 |
| cordoval | i mean ok for now | 14:57 |
| cordoval | before going crazy | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | cordoval: ok, renboot and make it go crazy then run the command I gave. DOes it make it ok? | 14:58 |
| cordoval | renboot? | 14:58 |
| Pici | LjL, ActionParsnip: this is the kind of thing that mktemp should be used for. | 14:58 |
| cordoval | ok, can you tell me which actions to take either if it does not repeat or if it does repeat? | 14:58 |
| cordoval | what do you think it was or it could be? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | LjL: yes but they are the users own files, sure if the file exists it will be overwritten etc, but users should know a little about their filenames and change them if it conflicts | 14:58 |
| LjL | Pici: i guess, although i gave a command that worked just fine even before the whole thing with "info" started | 14:58 |
| Naeblis | sipior, getting an error in this as well. | 14:58 |

| worre | ActionParsnip: can that comman make true .img files? | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Tostada: sudo apt-get install elementary-dark maybe, its not an official package so you will need to find that if you get an error | 15:19 |
| === i_can_bot_maybe_ is now known as tejaswidp | ||
| ActionParsnip | worre: that will be an ISO file, is that sufficient? | 15:19 |
| subb1 | the initrd.img-2.* image file is loaded into ram by kernel during the boot process. After this step, where is this initrd image decomprsd and mounted on? | 15:19 |
| worre | i need an image file that can be booted from grub | 15:19 |
| worre | and iso wont work | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Tostada: seems the package name is elementary-dark-theme | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | worre: grub2 can boot ISO files | 15:20 |
| worre | ActionParsnip: How? i just get file not found and file not supported errors | 15:21 |
| auronandace | !grub2 | worre | 15:22 |

| Naeblis | heh. I don't think I'm gonna use Chromium after this. Thanks for the help! You guys are awesome! | 15:22 |
| Tostada | After it didn't work when I installed it with synaptic I did install it with the Ubuntu software center and it worked.. just that now Synaptic no longer works. | 15:22 |

| wi-nick | @search History of MIddle-earth | 15:24 |
| Tostada | ubottu, I pasted that line into a terminal and it ran but synaptic still won't stay open. | 15:24 |

| BadKarma | a quick question re libapache-mod-php5, it is built by default with suhosin, right? | 15:25 |
| auronandace | Tostada: what is the output in a terminal if you type synaptic | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | worre: http://pastie.org/3289403 | 15:26 |
| mneptok | auronandace: "gksu synaptic" ;) | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Naeblis: then your packages are square and you are fully upto date | 15:26 |
| WhitePelican | join #kubuntu | 15:26 |
| Pici | BadKarma: yes. | 15:26 |
| auronandace | mneptok: thanks, long day :) | 15:26 |
| mneptok | auronandace: i feel the same, and have been awake for ~90 minutes :/ | 15:27 |
| BadKarma | Pici: fantastic, glad to see we are on the same page, then here is the problem... I've also installed php5-suhosin (extension) and trying to use suhosin.sql.user_prefix which I understand would limit what users can login to the database over scripts | 15:27 |
| Pici | BadKarma: Unfortunately, thats where my knowledge of php ends :( | 15:28 |
| Naeblis | ActionParsnip, yup. Chromium still won't install though. :) | 15:28 |
| BadKarma | Pici: not to worry, thanks anyway :) | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Naeblis: ok, what is the output of: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 15:28 |
| Naeblis | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/AS0aE9FM | 15:29 |
| exat | hey there? | 15:29 |
| Tostada | auronandace it does the same thing.. opens and immediately closes. | 15:29 |
| auronandace | Tostada: and what does it say in the terminal? | 15:30 |
| mar | i locking for program like a vygis for ubuntu 10.04 (for unlock the mobile phone)...tnx | 15:30 |

| Teddy1 | have it come another program for silverlight instead of moonlight that works? If it has, wich commands? | 15:32 |
| Naeblis | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/FVtxiGkB | 15:32 |
| Teddy1 | for firefox 9 | 15:32 |
| LjL | Teddy1: not realloy | 15:32 |
| Teddy1 | LjL: ok, but i read that some(maybe 10-20 people i have read made it possible) | 15:33 |
| auronandace | Tostada: i've never seen that before, what ubuntu are you using? | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Naeblis: http://eftakhairul.com/resolve-the-dependencylibnss3-1d-while-installing-google-chrome-in-ubuntu/ | 15:33 |
| LjL | Teddy1: i'm not aware of any Moonlight alternative. but maybe i'm wrong. | 15:33 |
| Tostada | Auronandace 11.10 x64 | 15:34 |
| Teddy1 | no i dont think it is any alternative, but i was thinking about a way to get silverlivt to work maybe_ | 15:34 |
| Teddy1 | ? | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Naeblis: or try: sudo apt-get -f install | 15:34 |
| OerHeks | Teddy1, moonlight 4 works, download it, rename to *.xpi and firefox 8/9/10 will install it. | 15:34 |
| mohanr2222_2 | guys, i'd like to change the position of the notifications (gnome shell) so that it doesn't interfere with my dock.. is it possible? | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Teddy1: firefox in wine, not sure how stable it will be | 15:34 |
| Tostada | The auth.log says: cannot determine display-device | 15:34 |
| auronandace | Tostada: you can ask someone more knowledgable in here, also if you want you can check to see if a bug has been filed for it | 15:35 |
| Teddy1 | ActionParsnip: That unstable, but wich one is the most stable wine version? | 15:35 |
| Teddy1 | OerHeks: Really that easy? Ok i will try.. | 15:35 |
| Tostada | auronandace, Thank you. | 15:36 |
| auronandace | Tostada: no worries, sorry i couldn't be more help :) | 15:36 |
| Tostada | : ) | 15:36 |

| grendal-prime | did i hear that right? | 15:37 |
| grendal-prime | if i dist upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 what do i have to do to get ext4 | 15:37 |
| === blitzkev is now known as blitz | ||
| Tostada | auronandace, could you explain what the line that I pasted means or does.? | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Teddy1: I'd go for 1.3, check the appdb to see which makes it work better | 15:37 |
| auronandace | grendal-prime: you'd need to reformat, so a fresh install would be better | 15:37 |
| auronandace | Tostada: i'm not sure myself sorry | 15:38 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: you can convert but you will not get the full feature set of ext4 if memory serves | 15:38 |
| Tostada | k, thanks. | 15:38 |

| ActionParsnip | Naeblis: is it dropping in now? | 15:39 |
| Teddy1 | auronandace: Ok thnx, do you know how to fix the problem with fips 140 validation in thunderbird to? It ask's for master password suddenly | 15:39 |
| auronandace | Teddy1: i don't know what fips 140 is and i don't use thunderbird, sorry | 15:40 |
| Naeblis | ActionParsnip, I don't know why, but it still won't install. | 15:40 |
| lotuspsychje | any incredimail lookalikes for ubuntu>? | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Naeblis: can you run: sudo apt-get -f install and pastebin the output. Thanks | 15:40 |
| Naeblis | ActionParsnip, based on the instructions from that blog: http://pastebin.com/TH4J6Nm3 | 15:41 |
| mneptok | Teddy1: FIPS-140 is a guideline document. not a piece of technology. | 15:41 |
| melvincv | I still did not get those IRC commands, anyway, I'll note down the ones I'm given at #freenode. | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | lotuspsychje: looks like thunderbird to me | 15:42 |
| mneptok | Teddy1: you need to figure out what underlying FIPS-140 cryptography/security is being used, and configure that corectly. | 15:42 |
| gain_ | hi all | 15:42 |
| mneptok | Teddy1: coulf be GPG. could be S/MIME. could be anything that complies with the FIPS-140 guidelines. | 15:43 |
| lotuspsychje | ActionParsnip: my aunte uses thunderbird and she says email sending speed gets stuck some times | 15:43 |
| Teddy1 | mneptok: yeah i know, but i dont know how, and i dont why it activated | 15:43 |
| Naeblis | I first aborted the apt-get install -f. got a different error. Then when I ran the command the next time, it showed the same old error. | 15:43 |

| LjL | Naeblis: having backports enabled but updates and security disabled doesn't sound like a great idea, does it | 15:46 |
| melvincv | jrib, subjective? I know that packages have strange names, but do I have to search for that? | 15:47 |
| jiffe98 | so it appears I can't have both mysql-cluster-server andlibdbd-mysql-perl installed due to dependency problems ? | 15:47 |
| quiescens | LjL: they.. don't appear to have backports enabled? | 15:48 |
| yang_ | ?? | 15:48 |
| LjL | quiescens: ah it's true, sorry | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Naeblis: looks fine, you just dont have backports or proposed enabled which is fine, you may need to use the same method to satisfy the deps using packages.ubuntu.com | 15:48 |
| jrib | melvincv: I mean your question has no good answer. Different programs are better at different things. "The best" is only an opinion | 15:48 |

| LjL | ActionParsnip: athough not having security is kinda... | 15:49 |
| espinosa | hola | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | LjL: security in what way? | 15:49 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: i mean the security repo | 15:49 |
| espinosa | kien eres | 15:49 |
| quiescens | I really wish apt-get would be more helpful in situations like that, some sort of description of the dependancy problem, rather than just saying "dependancy problems" and nothing else | 15:50 |

| ActionParsnip | LjL: aaaah | 15:50 |
| melvincv | jrib, ok, is there any of those that I shouldn't try as it is not secure? | 15:50 |
| LjL | ActionParsnip: also, i'd imagine most people have the updates repo | 15:50 |
| LjL | melvincv: ZIP is not a good idea. | 15:50 |
| espinosa | hola | 15:50 |
| sinan | i'm on 11.10, the menubar of the terminal is not getting "merged" into the "top panel"; it appears underneath as a separate menu bar. Any ideas? | 15:50 |
| LjL | espinosa: para español /join #ubuntu-es | 15:50 |

| indystorm | I created a symbolic link from bash and I cannot access it via ftp.... it shows up as a file, and not a directory, any idea how I can access this? Also- I cannot see the link at all on my Windows network using samba on ubuntu server.... How can I fix this? | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | LjL: can you advise him/her any please? | 15:51 |
| zykotick9 | indystorm: are you using a chroot with your FTP? | 15:51 |
| indystorm | I don't know what a chroot is? I am new to ubuntu.... | 15:51 |

| LjL | ActionParsnip, Naeblis: let me review this from the logs | 15:54 |

I mean the calculator and weather lenses | 16:09 |
| auronandace | dr3mro: using ppas is always a risk to break your system | 16:10 |
| davidcalle | dr3mro, where the calc and weather lenses from the Software Center? Or from a Launchpad PPA? | 16:10 |
| dr3mro | from both they neither work | 16:10 |
| davidcalle | From the PPA, they should work... I have them working. | 16:11 |
| dr3mro | the problem is that I dont have high speed internet only 3g USB modem and I can't make a reinstall | 16:11 |
| dr3mro | davidcalle, which PPA ? | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dr3mro: you can use ppa-purge to remove it and go back to the older versiojn | 16:12 |

| Meow_ | Meow_[5c654c2b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.92.101.76.43] | 16:22 |
| Meow_ | hello! How login? | 16:22 |
| nsd_ | zgr: I think you might need to read the man page more carefully: I think there's two cases (-g and -G) of that switch that do slightly different things iirc | 16:22 |
| zykotick9 | zgr: you need to use ".. usermod -aG .." the a is for append (add, instead of replace) | 16:22 |
| LjL | Meow_: in your status tab, do /msg nickserv identify yourpassword | 16:23 |
| melvincv | !:) | 16:23 |
| zykotick9 | zgr: determine what groups are used by default, and add your user to them | 16:23 |
| Meow_ | Please log in before attempting to verify your registration. | 16:23 |
| sipior | melvincv: if you were planning to paste a file into an email, it might not be a bad idea, but it's not needed for attached files/signatures. | 16:23 |
| zgr | nsd_ zykotick9 well I already used -G it there way to add back ubuntu default groups? | 16:24 |
| nsd_ | Perhaps I should be using a router instead of a switch? Or do I need to manually route? | 16:24 |
| dymitron | hi | 16:24 |
| LjL | Meow_: futher help in #freenode | 16:24 |
| zykotick9 | zgr: find out what they are, then use teh command properly | 16:24 |
| zgr | where is possible to find out? | 16:24 |
| nsd_ | zgr: Try adding another user, log in as it and run 'groups'. | 16:24 |
| zykotick9 | nsd_: they aren't in admin anymore, so no sudo | 16:25 |
| Meow_ | LjL thanks! +1 | 16:25 |
| nsd_ | zykotick9: Yeah that's a problem. | 16:25 |
| Meow_ | i head mail or not? | 16:25 |
| Meow_ | please | 16:25 |
| melvincv | sipior, thanks :) | 16:25 |
| nsd_ | zgr: I think you need to boot into the recovery mode to get root access then make your account a member of 'admin' again. | 16:25 |
| nsd_ | zgr: Also, for whatever reason there should also be a group for your specific user name | 16:26 |
| melvincv | melvincv, !:) | 16:26 |

| ubottu | metrazoid97: 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 | 18:22 |

| zykotick9 | KodeKamel: i still don't understand. But, USB cables can't be overly long, I have a USB extension that's 3-4 feet i'd guess | 18:59 |
| ModusPwnens | however when I shutdown my computer, the script doesn't execute | 19:00 |
| ssta | Steamopunk: hmm, strange. Does stop and then start work? Is this 11.10? | 19:00 |
| Sharcho | When I add "ufw allow from 173.194.69.99", the rule added in iptables is "ACCEPT all -- bk-in-f99.1e100.net anywhere". Is there a way to prevent that from happening? | 19:00 |
| KodeKamel | sorry... I thought that may just lighten your day. Enjoy the rest of it. | 19:00 |
| kad_ | hey pls help, i have installed vnc4server, when i connect from vncviewer to this vnc server it only see terminal not graphic why? thx | 19:00 |
| Sharko | my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangs im on 11.0 | 19:00 |
| Steamopunk | ssta - Yes it is 11.10 | 19:00 |
| diverdude | How can i make it easier to resize windows in ubuntu? Its nearly impossible | 19:00 |
| ssta | Sharcho: umm, isn't that what you told it to do? | 19:00 |
| Sharcho | No, I want it to filted by IP, and it's filtering by reverse DNS (which isn't working correctly). | 19:01 |
| zykotick9 | diverdude: does holding ALT and click/dragging work? | 19:01 |
| Lantizia | What do you do when you want a directory that isn't loyal to anyone?! Like a FAT32 system would be where anyone anywhere can just read/write whatever the hell they want | 19:01 |
| ssta | Sharcho: no, it filters by IP, but it SHOWs you reverse DNS. try: sudo iptables -L -n | 19:01 |
| ssta | or it *swhould* | 19:02 |
| diverdude | zykotick9, then it just moves the window instead | 19:02 |
| Sharko | my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangs im on 11.0 | 19:02 |
| ssta | if it doesn't then ufw is more broken than I thought | 19:02 |
| zykotick9 | Lantizia: FAT (or NTFS) isn't really a good example, under gnu/linux they are mounted as a user with permissions. | 19:02 |
| zykotick9 | diverdude: try other mouse click. (if that fails, try ctrl) | 19:03 |
| Lantizia | zykotick9, right well I have an NFS share in this case and I want _ANYONE_ who logs in to my system to be able to read/write to it - I don't want the files to have different owners! | 19:03 |
| Sharcho | ssta, probably the latter. | 19:03 |
| diverdude | zykotick9, it does not make it any easier | 19:03 |
| ssta | Sharcho: does iptables -L -n show what you expect? | 19:03 |
| Sharcho | ssta, yes, it does. | 19:03 |
| ssta | Steamopunk: I'm afraid I have no idea why it's doing that... | 19:04 |
| ssta | Sharcho: so what's the issue? | 19:04 |
| zykotick9 | Lantizia: if it's on EXT file system, it HAS to have owner/permission. Just set the directory to RWX for everyone. | 19:04 |
| zimple | Anyone know how to fix a disk sector error? Already tried using dd (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8981588&postcount=17), but got an error saying "dd: writing `/dev/sda': Input/output error" | 19:04 |
| diverdude | zykotick9, the resize-margin where the cursor changes to drag-sprit is so narrow that its nearly impossible to hit | 19:04 |
| Sharcho | ssta, I can only connect from IPs that have no reverse DNS on them. | 19:04 |
| zykotick9 | diverdude: ya, i've heard of the issue before. I have no idea. | 19:04 |
| Sharko | my software center keeps on messing up as i go to system i have to close it as it hangs im on 11.0 can some one tell me is it the why am useing it | 19:04 |
| ssta | Sharcho: umm...iptables doesn't care about DNS except when it's listing the rules for you... | 19:04 |
| diverdude | zykotick9, i really hate that about ubuntu.... | 19:05 |

| zykotick9 | diverdude: there are other DEs WMs available | 19:05 |
| diverdude | zykotick9, which one is good? | 19:05 |
| zimple | Sharko, go to the command line, type "ps ux | grep ubuntu | grep software" You should see only one process there. "kill-9" the PID. | 19:05 |
| Lantizia | zykotick9, all the files/directories on the share are owned by nobody:nogroup with files being -rw-rw-r-- and dirs being drwxrwxr-x ... and I can read/write/delete them perfectly fine from my non-root user - but _HOW_ is that possible when these dirs/files don't have the w flag for 'others' ? | 19:05 |
| zimple | Sorr, that's "kill -9" | 19:05 |
| zykotick9 | diverdude: KDE / XFCE / LXDE are popular DEs | 19:05 |
| Sharcho | ssta: when I allow a specific IP address, the allow works properly only if the IP doesn't have a reverse DNS on it. | 19:06 |
| Lantizia | zykotick9, and no my user isn't a member of nogroup | 19:06 |
| ssta | Steamopunk: very very strange...I have no idea. There's something seriously unhappy somewhere in your system | 19:06 |
| willdabeast | I have a question, for some reason on my girlfriends dell netbook with Ubuntu Remix, it says it cannot connect to the Wireless Network. | 19:06 |
| diverdude | zykotick9, XFCE i tried and didnt like to much | 19:06 |
| Lantizia | zykotick9, or is everyone a member of nogroup on all distro's by default? | 19:06 |
| ssta | Sharcho: that makes no sense...iptables doesn't care about DNS, reverse or otherwise. | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | diverdude: tried LXDE? KDE? | 19:06 |
| zimple | willdabeast, Is your WiFi card detected? I have some trouble with my card. | 19:07 |
| diverdude | ActionParsnip, no....can i just easily install then using get-install and restart the system? | 19:07 |

| willdabeast | zimple, yes it is. | 19:07 |
| Sharcho | ssta, maybe it modifies hosts.allow or something similar? | 19:07 |
| zykotick9 | Lantizia: sorry, that's a bit of a mystery for me. I'm not sure. PS, my NFS shares don't get nobody:nogroup? But my user account has the same UID on both systems. | 19:07 |
| Sharcho | ssta, the port isn't filtered, but I can't connect | 19:08 |

| zykotick9 | Lantizia: you can type "groups" in a terminal to see what groups you are in. I highly doubt nobody is listed. | 19:08 |
| zimple | willdabeast, Probably not an Ubuntu thing, then, unless it's a wierd type of password encryption. Is it WPA or WEP? | 19:08 |
| zimple | willdabeast, or neither? | 19:08 |
| === Guest58281 is now known as epqr | ||
| epqr | I have a question about the hotspot/adhoc feature. I try to set it up with a wpa password, however when i connect to it with one of my devices, it does not require or ask for a password at all. How come? | 19:08 |
| ssta | Sharcho: pastebin the output of "sudo iptables -L -v -n" | 19:09 |
| willdabeast | zimple, WPA I believe, her older brother was using hotspot with his phone, I'm wondering if he messed something up with that. | 19:09 |
| zimple | epqr, The password is stored in your keyring (wallet for KDE). | 19:09 |
| willdabeast | zimple, It used to be his netbook, but is there a chance he set it so that you have to enter in all of the WiFi information before it can find a network? Because it can't find any network. | 19:10 |

| willdabeast | zimple, No I'm not seeing any wireless networks, only old networks that her older brother used. Are you saying I should Install Windows? Or would Wine work? Sorry I'm clearly new :p | 19:12 |
| noodlr | hi | 19:13 |

| guest4375430 | Hi guys ! I am facing an unusual problem with Ubuntu 11.10 with respect to establishing mobile broadband connection ! I am unable to connect to internet using mobile broadband connection after installing it on hard disk, but when I run through live cd, it connects.... any pointers will be appreciated... thanx ! | 19:14 |
| acerimmer | zimple: if those settings apply only to a specific user, I wonder if deleting that user network config settings file would force a re-set? | 19:14 |
| zimple | willdabeast, No, I was just saying to get a spare windows box (if you have one) to find out if the connection was OS-dependent. | 19:14 |
| subcool | how do you get the notficiation for 11.1 to go away? | 19:14 |
| noodlr | I'm having a problem with ubuntu 11.10, whenever I run gedit, from terminal, it takes ages (8-10 seconds approx) before it loads up. this is irrespective of the number of files I am opening with it. | 19:15 |
| willdabeast | zimple, Oh I see what you mean, yeah the internet works fine on Windows. | 19:15 |
| Steamopunk | ssta - Hate to keep bothering you, but if I were to uninstall all of the MySQL things, would I be able to reinstall without problems? Your best guess, anyway | 19:15 |

| zimple | willdabeast, It also might be a problem with the encryption type. There are two types of encryptions for WEP: password and hex. Try one or the other. | 19:17 |
| preilly | I'm trying to enable multiuser support | 19:17 |
| zykotick9 | aspilicious: is sublime GUI or text based? "sudo sublime" if it's text, or "gksudo sublime" if it's GUI. | 19:17 |

| epqr | zimple, no i do want my hotspot to have a password. With a password i can control who connects to it. The problem is i configures the hotspot to require a password. However, when i connect to it, it does not ask for a password i.e. anyone who wants can connect to it | 19:20 |

| jonatasnona | how to know which ips are being used on the network? | 19:21 |
| aspilicious | zykotick9, gksudo doesn't work, probably because it's not in my path | 19:21 |
| zimple | willdabeast, Possibly not, but Ill try to be on. | 19:21 |
| Sharcho | ssta, it's really weird. It's causing "connection refused" issues on ports that are supposed to be open anyway. | 19:21 |
| willdabeast | zimple, Ok thanks anyway, cheers! | 19:21 |
| auronandace | jonatasnona: check your router? | 19:21 |
| zimple | willdabeast, Good luck. | 19:22 |
| zykotick9 | aspilicious: gksudo isn't in your path or you editor? "whereis gksudo" | 19:22 |
| ssta | Sharcho: are those ports definitely listening to everwhere? | 19:22 |
| w30 | guest4375430, try lsusb when running the live cd and find what you need, I guess | 19:22 |
| zykotick9 | aspilicious: "gksu" is another option | 19:22 |
| zimple | epqr, And you're able to get to a web page? | 19:22 |
| ssta | Sharcho: I can't see anything in that ruleset that would cause anything to be dropped from that IP. Of course ufw based rulesets are horrible spaghetti... | 19:22 |

| Steamopunk | MySQL errors again, anyone have any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/824291/ | 19:40 |
| auronandace | willdabeast: careful youtube searches? | 19:40 |
| Scopeuk | modinfo apears to show that the id pairs for the kernel module match those that lspic outputs but i cant get the device to come up, the module apears to load however | 19:41 |
| willdabeast | auronandace: I have been but I'm looking for one that has a sequence of videos, so I don't have to search random youtube videos. | 19:41 |
| guest4375430 | acerimmer, yeah I know but it would be expensive for me to download 600MB or more data ...that is likely to cost about $5 .... for something which I already have free on disc | 19:41 |
| zykotick9 | guest4375430: if you use the LiveCD you can customize after installation, kinda difficult with some of the metapackages involved perhaps, but possible. | 19:43 |
| zimple | Since I need to get a new HD, would there be compatibility issues with my laptop/hd, or are they basically the same connection? | 19:43 |
| urlin2u | Scopeuk, I can't help other then to say naming the device would seem prudent | 19:43 |
| guest4375430 | zykotick9, how so ? I want to install specific packages during installation which get ommitted like usb_modeswitch which is the main reason for my internet connection not working properly | 19:44 |
| auronandace | zimple: i'd search for laptop harddrives with your laptop model included in the search | 19:45 |
| zykotick9 | guest4375430: well, that might be an issue. Sorry, I have no suggestions. Good luck. | 19:45 |
| urlin2u | zimple, there is a #hardware channel they might be helpful as well. | 19:45 |
| acerimmer | guest4375430: 11.10 is 23 mb. You've probably expended that much data just in this irc... | 19:45 |
| Edico | is there a lamp-server package on ubuntu 10.04? | 19:45 |
| urlin2u | ##hardware actually zimple | 19:45 |
| zykotick9 | acerimmer: but during install, it will download a lot more | 19:45 |
| iceroot | Edico: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 | 19:46 |
| zykotick9 | Edico: terminal "sudo tasksel" is another option | 19:46 |

| guest4375430 | acerimmer , lol yeah I have no probs downloading mini cd which is 26MB for me but after downloading it when I would start installing, it will download over 600MB of packages... which will cost | 19:46 |
| acerimmer | zykotick9: true. if portable, i'd say it's time to go buy a cup of coffee, siphon some wifi and getrdone | 19:46 |
| acerimmer | guest4375430: install the default, then sudo apt-get purge the packages you DON'T want? | 19:47 |
| excelsior | hey guys, is it a problem when I get a warning that packages cannot be authenticated? | 19:48 |
| auronandace | !offline | guest4375430 | 19:48 |
| ubottu | guest4375430: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 19:48 |
| guest4375430 | acerimmer, and how does that help ? I will still have to download about 600MB of data which I already have on free disc | 19:49 |
| urlin2u | excelsior, your just missing a key most likely, depends on where they are from. | 19:49 |
| Oer | guest4375430, downloading is free too. | 19:50 |
| excelsior | urlin2u: I did a sudo apt-get install kompozer, and got that error, and select Y anyways, I didn't make a problem for myself, did I? | 19:50 |
| urlin2u | excelsior, you can add the key mentioned in the error with this command sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "key here" | 19:50 |
| acerimmer | Oer: not for him. He's got a costly data plan... | 19:50 |
| urlin2u | excelsior, not familiar with kompzer, but it's in the standred repos I think. | 19:51 |
| urlin2u | standard* | 19:51 |
| guest4375430 | 0er, not for me .... my plan costs me 1GB of data for $12 approx | 19:52 |
| acerimmer | guest4375430: is your system mobile? laptop? | 19:53 |
| guest4375430 | acerimmer .. yup | 19:53 |
| acerimmer | guest4375430: coffeshop wifi | 19:53 |
| urlin2u | free at starbucks if there is one near guest4375430 look on the web for free wifi near. | 19:54 |
| guest4375430 | acerimmer , ok now thats a good suggestion if you live in usa, unfortunately I live in India .... :\ | 19:55 |

| winnie667 | hello everyone, i've managed to customize an ubuntu distro so that it loads up a LIVE system into ram, and upon boot it syncs certain folders to achieve a form of persistency. Everything seems to work and sync fine except for the nm-applet passwords. I have gnome-keyring installed and it's set up to sync the folowing folders:/usr/share/keyrings/ /usr/share/nm-applet/ /usr/share/gnome-vpn-properties/ /usr/share/gnome-keyr | 20:16 |
| semitones | i can still usually use it though | 20:16 |
| urlin2u | sllide, sounds like your going about whatever it is you want the hard way, not sure though, a real full description would be helpful probably. | 20:16 |
| meberhart | semitones - so it worked? | 20:17 |
| winnie667 | the sync occurs in /etc/rc5.d/90 after S70pppd-dns | 20:17 |
| semitones | meberhart: I only encounter the weirdness if I sleep the computer and then wake it up | 20:17 |
| OneMiner | Is it possible to force Ubuntu 11.10 64bit to install on a 4GB flash drive? I don't need more than a couple megs free. Installer is asking for 4.5GB. | 20:17 |
| semitones | it moves and clicks erratically when I use it for about 5 minutes, then settles down | 20:17 |
| meberhart | that's very weird | 20:17 |
| sllide | urlin2u: dont know how to explain it any better | 20:17 |
| zykotick9 | OneMiner: mini CD could work | 20:17 |
| sllide | urlin2u: lets just say instead of formatting /dev/sda i want to format /home/me/disk | 20:18 |
| winnie667 | OneMiner: use a live CD with persistency, from experience i can tell you that installing on a USB flash stick is painfully slow | 20:18 |
| OneMiner | zykotick9 Is that a smaller version of Ubuntu? Available from the home page? | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | sllide: you can't format folders, drives yes - folders no | 20:18 |
| pnorman_ | OneMiner: might need to use the alternate installer and be selective about what you install. or livecd + presistency | 20:18 |
| urlin2u | sllide, why you want the mbr in a file would help, people use boot partitions, although not needed very often. | 20:18 |
| sllide | zykotick9: its not a folder its a file | 20:18 |
| zykotick9 | OneMiner: it's the Debian text installer, you install only what you want | 20:18 |
| auronandace | sllide: i suppose he is asking why you want to make an image of a harddisk? | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | sllide: you can't format a file either | 20:19 |
| sllide | auronandace: yes! | 20:19 |
| sllide | auronandace: because i want to write a bootloader to it and store some files | 20:19 |
| sllide | so i can boot it in qemu | 20:19 |
| OneMiner | I don't care about slow or not. I'm not versed enough in Linux to do a more complex install. It's a system I start in the morning, it does it's thing (no matter how quickly) and then I shut it down at night. | 20:19 |
| auronandace | sllide: theres the answer: qemu | 20:19 |
| zykotick9 | sllide: so you qemu-img and create a virtual HD | 20:20 |
| zykotick9 | s/you/use/ | 20:20 |
| sllide | oh... | 20:20 |
| POVaddct | sllide: why don't you partition and format the file from a running system in qemu? | 20:20 |
| winnie667 | OneMiner: creating a live usb is as easy/easier than installing Ubuntu, look for unetbootin | 20:20 |
| zykotick9 | POVaddct: qemu-img outside qemu is used to create drives | 20:20 |
| sllide | POVaddct: because i'm testing my own kernel and just added a fat system | 20:20 |
| urlin2u | winnie667, unetbootin is not a full install. | 20:21 |
| OneMiner | TY winnie667. Can i install a program on it? Is it persistant? | 20:21 |
| POVaddct | zykotick9: i know. but qemu-img creates a blank disk file without any partition table or filesystem | 20:21 |
| * zykotick9 thinks unetbootin is outdated in the times of hybrid ISOs | 20:21 | |
| winnie667 | that's the point if OneMiner want's to use a 4GB usb | 20:21 |
| PsyberS_ | ok i think i found my problem -> Jan 30 20:16:02 guyute pulseaudio[3427]: module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile. | 20:22 |
| OneMiner | Once the OS loads the flash drive has to do about zero work. So speed matters not. | 20:22 |
| urlin2u | winnie667, a install like that will fill up the casper-rw is not really cleanable, and you can't upgrade the kernel. | 20:22 |
| PsyberS_ | i assume sound indicator hides if there isnt any working sound devices? | 20:22 |
| POVaddct | sllide: still you can use any other live system in qemu to partition and mkfs the (previously created) disk image file | 20:22 |
| winnie667 | OneMiner: when creating the usb live, unetbootin will ask you how much space you want to have for storing, max that out, you will have about 3.4 GB to store personal files and other packages | 20:22 |
| POVaddct | zykotick9: hybrid ISOs rock :) | 20:22 |
| Sicp | anybody know about syslog on Ubuntu? why it's called rsyslog, why its configuration file is not under "/etc/rsyslog.conf" but instead under "/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf"? why the kern.* facility isn't commented out and doesn't use its own logger "klog.d"? | 20:22 |
| OneMiner | Wow. winnie667 GUI? | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | sllide: i'm sorry, but what you are describing makes no sense to me personally. | 20:23 |
| sllide | POVaddct: okay, that sounds good | 20:23 |
| PsyberS_ | oh ok i have sound devices, the indicator hides when it is muted... that seems useless | 20:23 |
| sllide | zykotick9: no problem, i got my answer :) | 20:23 |
| _godhelpme | how do i use a 3g modem from terminal | 20:23 |

| winnie667 | but if i were you i would choose that over a full install | 20:24 |
| zykotick9 | MrKeuner: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" to list them, then uninstall the ones you don't need | 20:25 |

| acerimmer | MrKeuner: http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/10/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-with-one-command/ | 20:29 |
| winnie667 | so does anyone know where the network-manager passwords are stored? | 20:29 |
| zykotick9 | MrKeuner: when the kernels are being removed, verify that the headers aren't removed at the same time | 20:29 |
| em__ | the os simply blocks... and i can't do nothing | 20:29 |
| Somelauw | Do you know why feh creates files like feh_...filelist? | 20:29 |
| em__ | i have to shutdow | 20:29 |
| mterry | winnie667, the 'Passwords & Keys' app | 20:30 |
| zykotick9 | acerimmer: that is a very misleading title to that blog/article ;) | 20:30 |
| winnie667 | mterry: which directory is that? | 20:30 |
| mterry | winnie667, search in the dash for passwords and the app will appear | 20:30 |
| Somelauw | Nevermind I found the problem. I was wondering why my background script was crashing but it was because feh creates feh...filelist files when opening multiple files for some reason. | 20:30 |

| Somelauw | zykotick9: Hmm, I didn't remember seeing them them before last time when I added some wallpapers. | 20:38 |
| zykotick9 | Somelauw: i'm pretty sure, it's more often then just setting the wallpaper. Hummm, actually the files i found where in a wallpaper folder, so maybe you're right! | 20:39 |

| tokenmathguy | hi all. | 20:41 |
| born2late | hi | 20:41 |
| tokenmathguy | i have a generic question, not necessarily ubuntu-specific. what version control system do people use for system administration on a multiple-administrator box besides (old) rcs? | 20:42 |
| born2late | how do i get oss compatibility back in ubuntu ? oss-alsa package does not solve this ... /dev/mixer not found ... | 20:42 |
| acerimmer | datruth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 20:42 |
| urlin2u | tokenmathguy, pretty much off topic, and no polling here as well. | 20:42 |
| acerimmer | datruth: http://askubuntu.com/questions/46299/how-to-disable-touchpad-tapping-when-typing-on-keyboard | 20:42 |
| zykotick9 | born2late: does ubuntu have a oss-compat package? | 20:42 |
| born2late | it seems so | 20:42 |
| born2late | i installed all, still can t use asmix | 20:43 |
| tokenmathguy | urlin2u: yeah, i figured. not sure where else to ask besides distro channels | 20:43 |
| datruth | acerimmer: thx | 20:43 |
| urlin2u | tokenmathguy, might try ##linux though. | 20:43 |
| tokenmathguy | urlin2u: ah, thanks | 20:43 |
| born2late | alsa-oss and oss-compat installed... no result | 20:43 |
| zykotick9 | born2late: you're adding OSS compatibility for a mixer - must be a good mixer ;) | 20:43 |
| urlin2u | tokenmathguy, no problem, hope you get wht you need.:D | 20:44 |
| urlin2u | what* | 20:44 |
| born2late | well it s an afterstep applet | 20:44 |
| born2late | it integrates well with my desktop | 20:44 |
| born2late | gnome and kde just alienate me... no documentation whatsoever how to use other window managers | 20:44 |
| zykotick9 | born2late: honestly, if your "desktop" requires OSS - it's time to think about upgrading to something more modern | 20:45 |
| tokenmathguy | urlin2u: yeah, hopeful. if not, we'll try some options out and see what we can break | 20:45 |
| urlin2u | tokenmathguy, breaking is the best part of open source. :D | 20:45 |
| born2late | ? what sort of an excuse is this for breaking backwards compatibility, allthough i whish the applet would support alsa directly | 20:45 |
| zykotick9 | born2late: i don't run a DE anymore either. I went the opposite way of the current Gnome/Unity/KDE trend myself. | 20:45 |
| born2late | sorry, no flaming intended | 20:46 |
| urlin2u | zykotick9, you, you rebel. :) | 20:46 |
| zykotick9 | born2late: OSS isn't backwards anything, it's finished as far as i'm concerned | 20:46 |
| tokenmathguy | urlin2u: best way to learn sometimes | 20:46 |
| zykotick9 | urlin2u: :p | 20:46 |
| Gskellig | if I chmod -R 755 how do I make it so every file created in that folder, and any of its subfolders from now on is also 755 | 20:46 |

| meberhart | np | 20:47 |
| Gskellig | someone PM me so I can test it | 20:47 |
| Gskellig | lol | 20:47 |
| zykotick9 | born2late: i believe it's probably based on fvwm (lots of the WM seem to be) | 20:47 |

| Gskellig | meberhart, that didn't work | 20:49 |
| meberhart | sorry | 20:49 |
| meberhart | oh | 20:49 |
| meberhart | use the -R option | 20:49 |
| meberhart | chmod 755 /directory/* -R | 20:50 |
| born2late | zykotick9 : fvwm is the mother of allmost all wms out there | 20:50 |
| Gskellig | I did chmod -R 755 directory/* | 20:50 |
| Gskellig | it did it to all folders and subfolders | 20:50 |
| Gskellig | but not ones created after I did the command | 20:51 |
| meberhart | good | 20:51 |
| meberhart | right | 20:51 |

| rick__ | thanks | 20:54 |
| acerimmer | +1|Ceno | 20:54 |
| Gskellig | eh | 20:54 |
| Gskellig | not good with umask, but thanks zykotick9 I'll look into it | 20:54 |
| Gskellig | already has umask 0022 | 20:55 |
| zykotick9 | Gskellig: that should give you 755 as default permission then (i forgot about the Special one in front) | 20:55 |
| Gskellig | its already set to 0022 | 20:56 |
| zykotick9 | Gskellig: umask is a subtraction from 777 full permission | 20:56 |

| zykotick9 | AGreyCrane: why would a server need network-manager? | 20:58 |
| Ceno | acerimmer: will oblige, thank you | 20:59 |
| AGreyCrane | zykotick9: not sure... but it was installed by default, just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something, it's making configuring a static ip very annoying | 20:59 |
| geekbri | greggles: if you are the lazy type i believe -s works as well | 21:00 |
| zykotick9 | AGreyCrane: are you serious? Ubuntu server comes with network manager? How, it doesn't come with a GUI by default. You mean, you installed N-M. | 21:00 |
| greggles | zykotick9: geekbri: that lists all items, not just security | 21:00 |
| zykotick9 | AGreyCrane: but ya, /etc/network/interfaces is you friend | 21:00 |
| zykotick9 | greggles: bug fixes and security yes, not much difference in those two | 21:01 |
| AGreyCrane | zykotick9: nope, ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso, took default packages except added openssh, and it installed network-manager | 21:01 |
| greggles | zykotick9: from my perspective there is ;) | 21:02 |
| zykotick9 | AGreyCrane: oh man, that's insanity. Just lost more respect for the once great Ubuntu | 21:02 |
| geekbri | greggles: if you seperate out the security repository to its own list file you can just use -o to reference just that list when you run that command. Maybe there is a better way but thats the way i would do it off the top of my head | 21:02 |

| eirik_ | Should be several kernels located in /boot, along with memtest86. GRUB_TIMEOUT in /etc/default/grub is set to 10. I thought that was the option which decided it. | 21:28 |
| zykotick9 | FesterJester: close, that's for kernel info, not ubuntu info | 21:28 |
| FesterJester | oh sorry | 21:28 |
| kasii | bobosomfan, chec pm | 21:29 |
| guntbert | eirik_: for once: press <shift> during boot, for always edit /etc/default/grub and put a # at the beginning of the line with the word "hidden" | 21:29 |
| raj | thanks | 21:29 |
| FesterJester | eirik_: you need to comment out the hidden line in /etc/default/grub | 21:29 |
| raj | are there still issues with 11.10 ? | 21:29 |
| urlin2u | eirik_, if you have only one OS it passes grub, a tapping on shift or or any key I believe brings up grub. | 21:30 |
| eirik_ | Oooh. "grub_hidden_timeout" and "grub_hidden_timeout_quiet". I'm an idiot. Thanks for help. | 21:30 |
| guntbert | urlin2u: "tapping" won't suffice, he will need to "hold" the key :) | 21:30 |
| Hamled | zykotick9, would you happen to know a command I could use to view the current network traffic in terms of bytes/s ? | 21:31 |

| gandhijee_ | ? | 21:49 |
| MaxHR | Hello, looking for a download manager recommendation... hopefully one that has the option to add mirrors and download bits from all at once for higher speed | 21:49 |
| gandhijee_ | i just wanted to see what ubottu had to say about that | 21:49 |
| scientes | CyborgSmurf, gotcha, then the LiveCD isn't seeing your harddrive | 21:49 |
| volkan | are there default crype function in Ubuntu (10.10) | 21:50 |
| scientes | did you try "load optimal values" and then "save and exit" from BIOS? CyborgSmurf | 21:50 |
| scientes | volkan, "crype", what is this, what are you trying to do? | 21:50 |
| urlin2u | volkan, install or installed 101.10? | 21:50 |
| urlin2u | 10.10 | 21:50 |
| volkan | installed 10.10i for example when i create a new user, with which way set the /etc/shadow | 21:51 |
| CyborgSmurf | science: no. I must add that I have XP installed and it drove me nuts (and now it isnt starting at all). I will try do that and see what happens, cant get worse than this. | 21:51 |
| volkan | is there any config file for select the way? | 21:51 |
| Ares_ | anyone tried altermw3? | 21:52 |
| scientes | CyborgSmurf, if sudo fdisk -l doesn't display anything, then the LiveCD isn't seeing your harddrive, period | 21:52 |
| urlin2u | !anyone > Ares_ | 21:52 |
| ubottu | Ares_, please see my private message | 21:52 |
| volkan | sound | 21:54 |
| volkan | scientes, sorry i mean "crypt" | 21:55 |
| scientes | volkan, ahh, there is ecryptfs, and dm-crypt with LVM | 21:56 |
| urlin2u | CyborgSmurf, "unless I use a CD-boot recover" What is this? | 21:56 |
| scientes | ecryptfs is probably the way to do, and is supported out of the box | 21:56 |
| scientes | it leaves system files unencrypted so it doesn't slow down your computer as much | 21:57 |
| scientes | it is supported in the installer "encrypt home directory" | 21:57 |
| CyborgSmurf | urlin2u: it was a madeup name for sorts like OS installation disks | 21:58 |
| urlin2u | CyborgSmurf, like which one dude? | 21:58 |
| volkan | scientes: sorry, didnt understand :\ | 21:58 |
| CyborgSmurf | urlin2u: like windows XP | 21:58 |
| urlin2u | CyborgSmurf, the wording suggests you have seen the hd with one, have you? | 21:59 |
| Minifig666 | How do I get root privalages to run gparted? Sorry, im a total noob here! :P | 21:59 |
| scientes | volkan, are you trying to encrypt your files? | 21:59 |
| acerimmer | Minifig666: live boot the ubuntu cd? | 21:59 |
| urlin2u | Minifig666, it will ask when you open it | 21:59 |
| volkan | no, i am trying to create user with hand | 21:59 |
| CyborgSmurf | urlin2u: that is correct | 21:59 |
| urlin2u | on a install | 21:59 |
| scientes | Minifig666, gksu---but if you are partitioning your main drive, you need to run off the LiveCD | 21:59 |
| urlin2u | CyborgSmurf, is the drive a raid? | 21:59 |

| omarshammas | hello, I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and have been trying to set it up to work with dual monitors. after updating the drivers, it told me to run nvidia-xconfig and restart the x server.

I've been reading about distributed computing, load balancing, etc. I know it all depends on the specific needs of the project but I'm just hoping to get a little more educated. If anyone has any suggestions on where I'd start some reading it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys. | 22:35 |

| AlanBell | israel: yeah, the rename method works fine if you want to change their names slightly, I think you need a bash script loop to assign numbers to them | 23:22 |
| mcphail | zul0: I'd guess that means that the "cvt" command is not guessing the correct parameters for the virtual display. Can you paste yout "xrandr --newmode" command you typed earlier? | 23:22 |
| dross | I messed up my gconf settings, which setting in gconf-editor must I modify to get my desktop showing the Desktop folder? Right now it's showing my home directory | 23:22 |
| israel | AlanBell: thanks ill try it | 23:22 |
| zul0 | sure mcphail | 23:23 |
| RaeCarruth | any help to found? | 23:23 |
| fizyplankton | lwizardl: i dont care about incription. my laptop disk is going bad, and i just want to scrap as much data as i can in the most accurate, simple, format possible. i dont care how much space it takes up (i know its 30 gb) nor how long it takes (yes i want it to copy unallocated space. i have plenty of time) | 23:23 |
| fizyplankton | encription* | 23:23 |
| RaeCarruth | anybody? | 23:23 |
| RaeCarruth | somebody? | 23:23 |
| RaeCarruth | scream. | 23:23 |
| dross | also, encryptfs sucks x.x it used DOUBLE the space and took all my HD space up on my SSD | 23:23 |
| DinoMuffin | RaeCarruth: have you run apt-get autoremove | 23:23 |
| acerimmer | sarthor: http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/ | 23:23 |
| striklov | Hi, silly question. In vim issuing a ctrl+n command will show an autocomplete list of choices. Is there a way / command to show function parameters ? Do I need to do anything extra ? | 23:23 |
| zul0 | mcphail, i think what happening, one moment! | 23:23 |
| RaeCarruth | DinoMuffin, I have not but with gnome3 what do i autoremove with borking my set up? | 23:24 |
| lwizardl | fizyplankton, ok then in that case look at clonezilla. its a live cd for disc backup and will let you make a copy of everything for later recovery | 23:24 |
| DinoMuffin | RaeCarruth: what window manager are you using now? | 23:24 |
| RaeCarruth | unity | 23:24 |
| RaeCarruth | i played it safe and uninstalled via the gui app manager | 23:24 |
| RaeCarruth | but apparently it did a poor job | 23:25 |

| DinoMuffin | RaeCarruth: if you run it, it'll remove the packages that aren't needed for the installed software | 23:25 |
| DinoMuffin | it may help | 23:25 |
| israel | mm but thats just half way, i think i need to doit in a bash with a for to change all of them | 23:25 |
| RaeCarruth | thanks | 23:25 |
| RaeCarruth | i'll try it and see | 23:26 |
| RaeCarruth | much appreciated | 23:26 |
| DinoMuffin | alrighty | 23:26 |
| lwizardl | fizyplankton, I use that problem to make images for customers computers for when ever they have to reinstall windows or other OSes due to viruses or dying hardware. it's free and I love it | 23:26 |
| fizyplankton | lwizardl: which would be faster? a usb ipod? or a wireless SSH file system? | 23:27 |
| DinoMuffin | SSH is usually faster for me | 23:28 |

| fizyplankton | DinoMuffin: keep in mind my laptop is 9 yrs old | 23:28 |
| DinoMuffin | DinoMuffin: oh, well then it could go either way | 23:28 |
| lwizardl | fizyplankton, I use a USB 3.0 1TB external drive and to backup a 30gb partition from the internal IDE/SATA drives usually took me about 45mins | 23:28 |
| DinoMuffin | woops | 23:28 |
| xx4h | o.o | 23:29 |
| lwizardl | since the laptops and desktops I have been fixing for people only have either usb 1.1 or 2.0 ports I think 45 mins is great. on a newer usb 3.0 port i bet it would only be like 20-30 mins | 23:29 |
| xx4h | 45 minutes for a lokal usb-backups with about 30gb? | 23:29 |
| fizyplankton | lwizardl: DinoMuffin: thanks for your help. i have to nom now. ill let you know how it goes | 23:30 |
| lwizardl | xx4h, yes that has been my times so far. but it does have a full30GB used of space. | 23:30 |
| DinoMuffin | seeya | 23:30 |
| * fizyplankton nom nom noms his way to the kitchen | 23:30 | |
| lwizardl | fizyplankton, yeah good luck | 23:30 |
| vandal- | hi. newbie question, warning. i've just made a link: "ln -s ~/a/b/c/d/e/f F". when i use "cd F" from my ~ folder and i am already in F, can i get to folder "e" somehow faster than "cd ~/a/b/c/d/e"? | 23:30 |
| DinoMuffin | though I have to say, I love my file server | 23:30 |
| DinoMuffin | so very very much | 23:30 |
| lwizardl | xx4h, it tends to be about 23gb of used filespace on the drives and the remander is blak space | 23:30 |
| RaeCarruth | no luck :( | 23:31 |
| RaeCarruth | problem remains | 23:31 |
| args[0] | where can i find the bash_profile file in Ubuntu? | 23:31 |
| DinoMuffin | you try restarting? | 23:31 |
| stephenh | vandal-: cd .. | 23:31 |
| args[0] | what is a good command to find this? (CLI) | 23:31 |
| RaeCarruth | DinoMuffin, yep | 23:31 |
| DinoMuffin | hmm | 23:31 |
| vandal- | args[0], ~/.bash_profile | 23:31 |
| vandal- | stephenh, it takes me to ~ | 23:31 |
| possible1994 | My bluetooth headset connects properly except it does not update pulse. | 23:31 |
| stephenh | mm | 23:31 |
| stephenh | guess not | 23:32 |
| stephenh | haven't come across such a requirement to be honest | 23:32 |
| stephenh | i'll have a look, nothing i'd ever use but interested.. | 23:32 |
| vandal- | ok, thanks :) | 23:32 |
| DinoMuffin | RaeCarruth well, hmm. Maybe the package manager didn't actually uninstall the entire thing | 23:33 |
| israel | args[0]: sudo find / . -name (CLI) | 23:33 |
| RaeCarruth | well i just tried a purge of gnome-shell | 23:33 |

| Rin | hello everybody, new person interested in using a ubuntu here | 23:34 |
| israel | Rin: welcome to the best OS =) | 23:34 |
| Rin | im very inexperienced in it and havent actually startd using it | 23:35 |
| Rin | im currently building my own desktop, and wanted to try something new | 23:35 |
| xx4h | Rin, start with a VM or an extra pc | 23:35 |
| DinoMuffin | RaeCarruth how about a purge for just "gnome"? | 23:35 |
| RaeCarruth | tried that | 23:35 |
| RaeCarruth | i've just uninstalled the gnome-panel | 23:35 |
| RaeCarruth | fingers crossed | 23:35 |

| dylan_ | I'm trying to set up a SSH Server, I already installed "openssh-server" and "openssh-client", and I can do "ssh localhost", but... how can I connect from another PC ? | 23:37 |
| DinoMuffin | ssh <username>@<local address> | 23:37 |
| dylan_ | DinoMuffin, wich is the Local Adress ? | 23:38 |
| DinoMuffin | whichever your server is at | 23:38 |
| ynniv | I can no longer install update-notifier-common. Can anyone else reproduce? | 23:38 |
| DinoMuffin | do an ifconfig on your server | 23:38 |
| israel | dylan_: way to easy just tipe ssh <user>@ip_adress | 23:38 |
| vandal- | stephenh, its pretty illogic, when i type "ls ../" it lists files in parent directory (e in my example, called from F), but when i type "cd ../" it moves me to ~ ;) | 23:38 |
| ynniv | error is Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/update-notifier/update-notifier-common_0.117ubuntu3.1_all.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.183 80] | 23:38 |
| dylan_ | israel, I have a Dynamic IP | 23:38 |
| Rin | so, i looked on the list, and there are no socket LGA 1155 Motherboards shown? | 23:38 |
| DinoMuffin | dylan_: servers should have static IP's | 23:39 |
| israel | dylan_: then you just need a dns server and then you can type a name instead a ip addres | 23:39 |
| dylan_ | DinoMuffin, like a free domain ? | 23:39 |
| stephenh | vandal-: i didn't try that | 23:39 |
| args[0] | thanks israel | 23:39 |
| DinoMuffin | dylan_: are you trying to get to it though the internet? or through your own local lan? | 23:40 |
| RaeCarruth | gnome is pretty resilient | 23:40 |
| RaeCarruth | like most viruses | 23:40 |
| DinoMuffin | RaeCarruth, that's bizzare | 23:40 |
| === Gskellig|away is now known as Gskellig | ||
| stephenh | i like gnome-shell | 23:40 |
| dylan_ | DinoMuffin, Internet, so I can connect to my "server" (My PC) from another PCs, or my Android Phone | 23:40 |
| DinoMuffin | what happens when you open synaptic package manager and search for gnome? | 23:40 |
| dylan_ | stephenh, I don't, I just... god, it's so... | 23:40 |
| israel | dylan_: and its true what SinoNuffin | 23:40 |
| stephenh | i know right | 23:40 |
| israel | says | 23:41 |
| stephenh | it's not unity :) | 23:41 |
| DinoMuffin | dylan: you either need a domain name or your wan address | 23:41 |
| DinoMuffin | dylan_: but you still want to put your server on a static IP in your local lan | 23:41 |
| dylan_ | DinoMuffin, well, OK, I'll try to get a Static IP from my ISP, it would be easier | 23:41 |
| israel | dylan_: you can do a lot of things | 23:41 |
| stephenh | vandal-: just tried it.. that's mental | 23:41 |
| DinoMuffin | dylan_: no that's not what i meant | 23:41 |
| mcphail | ynniv: have you refreshed the package list? | 23:41 |
| args[0] | israel: can locate find hidden files? | 23:41 |
| Rin | so... can anyone go to private chat and help me figure out if my motherboard is ubuntu friendly? | 23:42 |
| israel | dylan_: what exactly u want to do? | 23:42 |
| stephenh | [stephenh@boogiemonster E]$ pwd | 23:42 |
| stephenh | /tmp/E | 23:42 |
| DinoMuffin | dylan_: on your LAN, you need to have a static IP for the server so it doesn't use DHCP | 23:42 |
| stephenh | [stephenh@boogiemonster E]$ ls ../ | 23:42 |
| stephenh | e test | 23:42 |
| stephenh | :/ | 23:42 |
| FloodBot1 | stephenh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:42 |
| DinoMuffin | otherwise your server can change LAN addresses | 23:42 |
| stephenh | cd .. and back in tmp.. | 23:42 |
| dylan_ | DinoMuffin, OK, wait, I'm going a minute | 23:42 |
| metasansana | Rin: live cd? | 23:42 |
| Rin | live cd? | 23:42 |
| RaeCarruth | ah | 23:42 |
| acerimmer | Rin: if it's on teh ubuntu certified list, you're good. If not, you kind of take your chances... | 23:42 |
| RaeCarruth | apparently gnome session manager is still here | 23:42 |
| RaeCarruth | but that's for gnome 2 | 23:42 |
| ynniv | mcphail: is there a recommended command for that? | 23:42 |
| metasansana | Rin: you dont have to install it just test it out | 23:42 |
| RaeCarruth | right? | 23:43 |
| mcphail | ynniv: sudo apt-get update | 23:43 |
| DinoMuffin | RaeCurruth: gnome3 might use it also | 23:43 |
| cristian_c | I have another question to ask yourself | 23:43 |
| Rin | i havent even actually built the rig yet, im jsut wondering if it is even a feasable idea to install ubuntu | 23:43 |
| israel | args[0]: mmm not sure | 23:43 |
| ynniv | mcphail: that does it | 23:43 |
| ynniv | apparently the package moved? | 23:43 |
| DinoMuffin | RaeCurruth: sorry, I haven't used gnome in a long long time, i'm trying to remember | 23:43 |
| cristian_c | I use Lubuntu 11.10 | 23:43 |
| mcphail | ynniv: it will have been updated to a newer version so the old url will be stale | 23:44 |
| ynniv | i've never seen that before. do does this happen often? | 23:44 |
| ynniv | s/do // | 23:44 |
| mcphail | ynniv: all the time | 23:44 |
| cristian_c | But I do not see the volume icon on the panel | 23:44 |
| ynniv | hmm. ok, thanks :) | 23:44 |
| theMPman | Rin: What hardware are you concerned about | 23:44 |
| mcphail | ynniv: always refresh your package list before trying to install something | 23:44 |
| Rin | ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard | 23:45 |
| cristian_c | I tried to add it, but I still do not see it | 23:45 |
| israel | ynniv:apt-get update | 23:45 |
| varikonniemi | hello, does anybody know a method to hide the removable devices notification in bottom right corner, under gnome-shell ? | 23:45 |
| cristian_c | What can I do? | 23:45 |
| ynniv | I'm automating with vagrant / chef, and the "apt" package specifically tries not to update too often | 23:45 |
| mcphail | ynniv: perhaps that isn't the nest strategy | 23:46 |
| ynniv | but having used apt and yum for years, I've never run into this | 23:46 |
| args[0] | israel: no prob! | 23:46 |
| mcphail | *best | 23:46 |
| ynniv | clearly not if this is how packages are updated! | 23:46 |
| args[0] | after editing .bash_profile, are changes taken into effect immediately? | 23:47 |
| mcphail | ynniv: :) | 23:47 |
| mcphail | args[0]: no | 23:47 |
| ruhtra | list | 23:47 |
| stephenh | vandal-: i'm determined to find an answer for this | 23:47 |
| args[0] | mcphail: should i restart system? | 23:47 |
| mcphail | args[0]: you can use "source ~/.bash_profile" to read them or just start a new shell | 23:48 |
| theMPman | Rin: that motherboard has been confirmed to work with Ubuntu 9.10, 10.10. 11.04, and 11.10 | 23:48 |
| args[0] | or just some daemon? | 23:48 |
