| Muska | hi, having an issue with ubuntu hanging at init-bottom on boot. how can I troubleshoot what is causing it to hang? | 00:07 |
| Muska | boots ok in single user with init=/bin/bash however I currently have it chrooted from a knoppix boot | 00:07 |
| Guinness2702 | Muska - you looked at the logs? always a good place to start | 00:07 |
| Muska | I looked at messages and dmesg, will scour some other logs to see if there is anything else useful | 00:07 |
| Muska | Guinness2702, more trying to see what starts around the time init-bottom is executed so I can try to execute things one by one in a chroot environment or in single user to see what hangs and what doesn't | 00:08 |
| marabi2 | Hello | 00:10 |
| grubbyone | I have a desktop with 5 sata drives in a softraid, and 1 sata ssd which I'm installing ubuntu desktop 64 on, it only boots when I unplug the softraid drives, when all the drives are plugged in, it drops to busybox/initramfs | 00:11 |
| Nullifi3d | grubbyone: software controlled raid is usually handled by the os | 00:13 |
| Nullifi3d | meaning if you boot into a different os, no raid | 00:13 |

My hard drive turns into a read-only hard drive and when I re-start my box, it tells me that the partition / is showing errors and then it says that the partition /tmp can not be found. I have to Force it to check it and repair it but the next day, it happens again. I have already replaced 2 hard drives and I still have the same | 00:43 |

| jimmiekosmo | its a dell inspiron 7010, and yes it is because i have booted into a disk in the past | 00:53 |

| grubbyone_ | would all these problems go away if I just swapped the sata ports of sda and sdf? | 01:14 |
| bazhang | !puregnome | 01:14 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 01:14 |
| grubbyone_ | and then did a reinstall | 01:15 |
| Jordan_U | grubbyone: If you set your BIOS to boot from sda, then Ubuntu would boot properly. Re-installing Ubuntu is overkill, and we're almost done changing where grub's boot sector is installed. | 01:15 |
| grubbyone_ | ok, it's asking for a linux command line | 01:15 |

| kazagistar | basically, I just want a "pureawesome" instead of gnome or kde or xfce | 01:16 |
| zykotick9 | kazagistar: "pureawesome" that's funny. I recently discovered awesome, and gotta say - I'm lovin' it. | 01:17 |
| bazhang | kazagistar, you could !purekde it and then just add awesome or what ever else you wanted | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | grubbyone: Are you at the question about install devices now? | 01:17 |
| bazhang | !purekde | kazagistar | 01:17 |
| ubottu | kazagistar: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » | 01:17 |

| Jordan_U | grubbyone: Wait. | 01:17 |
| grubbyone | beautiful | 01:17 |
| grubbyone | it works | 01:17 |
| bazhang | kazagistar, obviously skipping the step of installing kubuntu-desktop | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | grubbyone: Did you see the question about install devices? Did you change that setting? | 01:18 |
| Tetracomm | Do any of you know how to turn off a USB port at the command prompt in Ubuntu? Or any of the other ports? I just want a way to use the computer to switch things on and off. | 01:18 |
| LED1 | off topic buc can i make xchat proxy/ | 01:18 |
| grubbyone | yeah, just removed sda and added sdf | 01:18 |
| bazhang | LED1, try #xchat | 01:18 |
| Jordan_U | grubbyone: OK, that should work then. | 01:18 |
| grubbyone | it's a problem, every time I install, it always puts grub on the wrong drive | 01:18 |
| Graenis | Well guess i'll go look fer another chat! eheh. | 01:18 |
| Tetracomm | Does anyone know a very simple way to (via command line) turn a port on or off in Ubuntu? I want to turn off the power coming from it. | 01:18 |
| Jordan_U | grubbyone: (as long as your BIOS is set to boot from sdf). Feel free to reboot. | 01:18 |
| bazhang | Tetracomm, why would you want or need to do that | 01:18 |
| kazagistar | it is still super frustrating that my favorite distro is the only one that just randomly crashes when I try to do a minimal install on my netbook | 01:19 |
| bazhang | kazagistar, you get the link I posted? | 01:20 |
| kazagistar | I ended up using debian for a while before growing too frustrated with it, because at least it installed | 01:20 |
| _godhelpme | how do i make it so when I put a file in a folder that it uses the parent permissions | 01:20 |
| LED1 | kazagistar: Why? | 01:20 |
| fishscene | Does anyone remember the package that allows a system administrator to customize the desktop environment for new users who log on? | 01:21 |
| Culiforge | zykotick9: ok, giving it a go.. I'll be back when there's smoke coming out of my ears.. | 01:21 |
| mouls| | Hi | 01:21 |
| fishscene | For example, I can change the desktop background, create launchers, etc... and when a brand new user logs in, everything is set up for them. | 01:21 |
| zykotick9 | _godhelpme: gnu/linux is not microsoft, permissions are different. New files/folders are determined by umask. | 01:22 |
| Tetracomm | bazhang: To turn an electric circuit on or off. | 01:22 |
| kazagistar | LED1: I struggled for many hours trying to get my sound to work, get various firmware working, etc, and did not succeed | 01:22 |
| LED1 | I hated unity at first but it grows on you doesnt it | 01:22 |
| artichoku | howdie howdie! how's it hangin'? | 01:22 |
| _godhelpme | !umask | 01:22 |
| bazhang | artichoku, ubuntu support issue? | 01:22 |
| artichoku | LED1: you should turn on the activities thing, it's like a completely different OS | 01:22 |
| bazhang | Tetracomm, yes, but whatever for | 01:23 |
| LED1 | kaz youll figure it out eventually but, i can understand the frustration. | 01:23 |
| bazhang | artichoku, what activities thing | 01:23 |
| zykotick9 | _godhelpme: there is "man umask" if you want some details. | 01:23 |
| artichoku | i don't know exactly, i was messing with compiz settings and everything disappeared | 01:23 |
| artichoku | then i had one single bar at the top with an activities button | 01:24 |
| Ravior | someone knows how can you decrypt a GPG message | 01:24 |
| artichoku | and it's really badass | 01:24 |
| Ravior | for that launchpad link | 01:24 |
| bazhang | artichoku, completely blank desktop? no icons, nothing to click on etc? | 01:24 |
| artichoku | nope, just the top bar and an activities button | 01:24 |
| artichoku | and when you click on it, it shows open windows, and you can click on applications and it shows all your programs | 01:24 |
| bazhang | artichoku, this is using unity-3d? | 01:24 |
| artichoku | yuppers | 01:24 |

| vbb | hey you guys i need technical help here | 01:29 |
| MarcoAcheron | Which do you guys prefer: Tor or Cocoon? | 01:30 |
| vbb | i dont see foonetic.net on the irc list in gnome irc | 01:30 |
| vbb | how do i add it? | 01:30 |
| appleguru | how can I setup a PPTP vpn server on ubuntu that passes broadcast traffic both ways? | 01:30 |
| bazhang | vbb, what irc client | 01:30 |
| LED1 | all bunt distros work rigt if you have the right hardware thats all im saying, sometimes you just need an upgrade. | 01:31 |
| vbb | im using xchat-GNOME | 01:31 |
| bazhang | LED1, ok. please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks | 01:31 |
| zykotick9 | _godhelpme: umask applies to all created files/folders. It's a subtraction from full permission so a umask of 770 would be no permission for user/group and full permission for Other (probably NOT what you want) | 01:31 |
| Culiforge | zykotick9: no joy with the boot param | 01:32 |

| artichoku | given, i added awn | 01:34 |
| bazhang | Tellmarch, rsync? | 01:35 |
| Tellmarch | well, will it do the same thing as scp? | 01:35 |
| Tellmarch | i copied about 50 GB of data to backup my 5GB home folder -_- | 01:35 |
| Tellmarch | before noticing it was copying in loops | 01:35 |
| zykotick9 | Tellmarch: scp -r ? | 01:36 |
| Tellmarch | yes | 01:36 |
| Tellmarch | that's what i did | 01:36 |
| Bsims | Tellmarch: rsync is mostly the same thing, but if you are gonna do it more than once rsync is the way to go | 01:36 |
| Tellmarch | but my problem is that scp -r didn't work well at all | 01:36 |
| Tellmarch | copying 10 times the same data | 01:37 |
| Tellmarch | well, i'll look into rsync, thanks | 01:37 |

| histo | bite: unless you are using wubi | 01:56 |

| somsip | usr: bad punctuation on my last reply. No you don't get SDK from software center, you get it from Android dev site | 02:04 |

| bite | histo: how can i force it to boot into linux first, then? | 02:07 |
| flowerpot | I notice that sshd has options like PasswordAuthentication in ssh_config that I can set to allow or deny password-based authentication. However, I thought PAM could do this too? I can't seem to find out how to tell sshd to use PAM...does sshd use it by default? | 02:07 |
| histo | bite: yeah 4 primary partitions | 02:07 |
| histo | bite: that's why you have to use extended areas to have more than 4 | 02:08 |

| bite | histo: should i remove some partitions then to make ubuntu boot first? | 02:08 |
| bite | histo: i can probably merge data with the c:\ drive | 02:09 |
| histo | bite: no it has nothing to do with the way your disk is partitioned. It's just that windows is on the MBR and has no idea that ubuntu exists | 02:09 |

| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: do I just install those via apt-get? | 02:31 |
| battle_warrior | im trying to conect to my local host via putty .... but whenever i try it keeps saying connection refused the server box is ubuntu... im trying to connect to it via windows can i plz get some help | 02:31 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: apt-get install gadmin-samba | 02:31 |
| Roge152 | Yeah, but the GUI tool keeps crashing urlin2u, so im looking for a list of the repo urls's so I can go in and change them manually. | 02:31 |
| almoxarife | Roge152: there is, part of the install app, 'sources' perhaps? | 02:31 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: I think it's easier to configure via the command line if you just want to share a folder. | 02:31 |
| urlin2u | Roge152, have you gried softare sorces from the search? | 02:32 |
| urlin2u | tried* | 02:32 |
| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: well I tried. :P I got lost | 02:32 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: what seems to trip many people up is they forget the need to run smbpasswd | 02:32 |
| urlin2u | software sources Roge152 | 02:32 |
| Roge152 | well, there is the software centre, but it keeps crashing. | 02:32 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: what specifically is the issue you're having with your samba configuration? | 02:32 |
| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: If I messaged you, could you help me set it up? I'm not sure what a few of these options should be | 02:32 |
| postrye | anybody want to help me make up my mind? I am in the market for a laptop... should I buy a new dell, a system76, or find a used one. All I need is a machine that can do some light web development and browsing. | 02:32 |
| urlin2u | Roge152, there is also one I name type it into the dash sarch. | 02:33 |
| urlin2u | search | 02:33 |
| battle_warrior | sorry for leaving somethng closed my irc, could i get help to my question i had earlier | 02:33 |
| crash82 | almoxarife, it opens the windows just doesn't show the prompt | 02:33 |
| Roge152 | I don't seem to have it urlin2u | 02:33 |
| bazhang | postrye, thats out of scope for this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware please | 02:33 |
| postrye | right on, thank you | 02:33 |
| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: The main one is the host name I should be using. | 02:34 |
| === why is now known as Guest37664 | ||
| qmanjr5 | and whether or not I should change the "allowed hosts and networks" "handles connection on" etc | 02:34 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: is this for a home environment? | 02:34 |
| qmanjr5 | yes | 02:34 |
| urlin2u | Roge152, I had synaptic crashing in oneric I found a fix for it what is your release your running? | 02:35 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: in that case I wouldn't really bother about restricting via networks and hosts, because you probably only have a single subnet | 02:35 |
| qmanjr5 | Right. | 02:35 |
| Roge152 | 11.10 (non updated yet) | 02:35 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: you need to useradd each account you want, and then give them an smbpasswd | 02:35 |
| urlin2u | Roge152, hold on | 02:35 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: man useradd and man smbpasswd :) | 02:36 |
| qmanjr5 | Huh | 02:36 |
| Roge152 | k | 02:36 |
| qmanjr5 | Kay | 02:36 |
| qmanjr5 | Can't i just login via the user I'm using on my Ubuntu box? | 02:36 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: how many machines do you have? how many user accounts? | 02:36 |
| battle_warrior | im realy not trying to be annoying, but it seems people are totally ignoring my question and yet answering others, Once again i ask can someone help me find a solution for me to connect to my server box via local host, whenever i try to connect to it using putty it says connection refused... its ubuntu 10.4 im trying to connect to it via windows 7 | 02:36 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: yes, you can do that too | 02:36 |
| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: I have 2 other Windows boxes. | 02:36 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: make sure you smbpasswd your user account then | 02:36 |
| qmanjr5 | Alright | 02:36 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: Can you see the shares from your Windows machines? | 02:37 |
| qmanjr5 | No, not yet. | 02:37 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: assuming you want go access files on your Ubuntu machine from Windows right? | 02:37 |
| StepNjump | Is there a listing somewhere on the internet for most of all applications that run under CLI (or terminal) somewhere? I don't like the apps running under X much | 02:37 |
| qmanjr5 | Yes, that's what I want to do. | 02:37 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: ok cool. Good news is it's pretty straight forward. | 02:38 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: step 1 - edit smb.conf so that it has your shares | 02:38 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: step 2 - set up your user/s with smbpasswd | 02:38 |
| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: I'm using gadmin. =3 | 02:38 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: you'll still need each user to have a valid smbpasswd | 02:39 |
| qmanjr5 | I just finished what I'm sharing | 02:39 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: not sure if gadmin helps you with that | 02:39 |
| qmanjr5 | Can't I set that in gadmin too? | 02:39 |
| qmanjr5 | I think it does | 02:39 |
| mukaibot | yeah, give it a shot | 02:39 |
| jhon | hi salut | 02:39 |
| qmanjr5 | Alright, that part is done. | 02:39 |
| qmanjr5 | What now? | 02:39 |

| qmanjr5 | Hold on, I'll go check. They're in a different room. :P | 02:40 |
| qmanjr5 | Where would they be under, "Network"? | 02:40 |
| mukaibot | try rdesktop | 02:40 |

| bazhang | kazagistar, installing the full ubuntu-desktop suite? something else | 02:43 |
| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: It says I don't have access. | 02:43 |
| qmanjr5 | But the Ubuntu box is listed. | 02:43 |

| mukaibot | qmanjr5: yeah, now on the Ubuntu box, smbpasswd for your user | 02:47 |
| qmanjr5 | I wasn't given a login box though | 02:48 |
| qmanjr5 | Just a not allowed. | 02:48 |
| mukaibot | kazagistar: does "top" show you anything useful? That the process is still running? | 02:48 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: you'll need to allow Listing | 02:48 |
| mukaibot | err | 02:48 |
| qmanjr5 | Now, this would be so much easier if I knew what that meant | 02:48 |
| mukaibot | browsing | 02:48 |
| qmanjr5 | That too. | 02:49 |
| mukaibot | so in /etc/samba/smb.conf you need to add Browsable = yes | 02:49 |
| mukaibot | not sure how you do that in the gadmin tool | 02:49 |
| qmanjr5 | It ahs a Tab for it :D | 02:49 |
| kazagistar | mukaibot: the process is ubiquity, right? | 02:49 |
| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: There are a bunch of shares, right. And most of them have Browseable=yes | 02:50 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: go to the one you want, and set browsable = yes | 02:51 |
| qmanjr5 | They already are. | 02:52 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: ok good | 02:52 |
| mukaibot | kazagistar: that does sound correct | 02:52 |
| qmanjr5 | so why is it still not showing on my Windows machines? | 02:52 |
| mukaibot | is it showing up on your machines, or giving you access denied? | 02:53 |
| qmanjr5 | Access denied | 02:53 |
| qmanjr5 | but no login form | 02:53 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: try restarting smbd (just to make sure gadmin applied the changes) | 02:54 |
| mukaibot | qmanjr5: can you post your smb.conf somewhere? | 02:54 |
| qmanjr5 | SUre. If you tell me how to restart smbd | 02:54 |
| mukaibot | sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart | 02:55 |
| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: Reset. Shall I go check it? | 02:56 |
| mukaibot | sure | 02:56 |
| kazagistar | dunno, at this point, I have been at the same place on the progress bar for much much longer then it usually takes to install the whole OS... should I just try again or something? | 02:57 |
| qmanjr5 | mukaibot: same thing. | 02:58 |
| qmanjr5 | Rather | 02:58 |
| qmanjr5 | It said that it couldn't find the path | 02:58 |
| qmanjr5 | or something to that affect | 02:58 |
| mukaibot | try entering the IP address of your Ubuntu box then. Sounds like you don't have DNS working.. | 02:58 |
| rallias | is there any sort of guide on how to write a simple DE with the likes of openbox? | 02:58 |

| rallias | mukaibot is there a guide on how to do that? | 03:00 |
| mukaibot | rallias: otherwise, have a look at the OpenBox code (it *is* open source you know ;) | 03:00 |
| rallias | the problem with looking at the code is my programming is write only | 03:00 |

| fellayaboy | Hmm | 03:27 |
| auk | Most dev stuff seems to come with both anyway. | 03:27 |
| fellayaboy | Still so confused | 03:27 |
| nils_ | fellayaboy: that depends on how you set it up. I have a vpn with a remote location so I can access that private network, still use my regular ISP to go online but I could also use a gateway on that network | 03:27 |
| whoever | Yourname`: /var/log/ | 03:27 |
| xangua | auk: i suggested OpenJDK | 03:27 |
| Yourname` | whoever: What does the log file have to do with awstats? | 03:27 |
| bite | auk: JDK is strictly for development, yes? | 03:27 |
| mukaibot | fellayaboy: if your goal is to change your IP address for websites, a proxy is probably a better choice | 03:27 |
| Yourname` | whoever: Because when I installed it via webmin, I don't see awstats.pl installed at all :S | 03:27 |
| fellayaboy | I see | 03:28 |
| auk | fellayaboy: VNC is just some fancy cool remote desktop thingy (An alternative since RDP for window-ish systems sucks). | 03:28 |
| auk | bite: And for people interested in creating java programs. | 03:28 |
| mukaibot | auk: I don't think we're talking about VNC | 03:28 |
| auk | OH VPN. | 03:29 |
| whoever | Yourname`: well i ausmed it was all there try to install the mod manually, honestly I haven't used webmin in years | 03:29 |
| auk | Ah, gotcha. | 03:29 |
| mukaibot | auk: :) | 03:29 |
| bite | auk: very well then, thanks. | 03:29 |
| fellayaboy | So with a vpn.its like connecting to the shared folders | 03:29 |
| mukaibot | not quite | 03:29 |
| mukaibot | fellayaboy: there are several types of VPNs | 03:29 |
| whoever | Yourname`: maybe you need to just install the modual again | 03:29 |
| Yourname` | whoever: Thanks. I installed it via webmin first, then did an apt-get and that's when I saw awstats.pl, but even when I put the path to awstats.pl in the webmin module config, it still doesn't show.. | 03:29 |
| mukaibot | fellayaboy: but they all do the same thing; connect you to a network | 03:29 |
| fellayaboy | Its like ita physically connected to tje network where i can access the resources such as shared folders | 03:29 |
| auk | Doesn't VPN feature already exists in Ubuntu, to just set it up along with your normal wifi/wired internet configurations (GUI) or you're trying to like SSH VNC it? | 03:29 |
| mukaibot | fellayaboy: yes | 03:30 |
| mukaibot | fellayaboy: shared folders, printers, internal websites...etc | 03:30 |
| fellayaboy | Ohhhhhh | 03:30 |
| fellayaboy | I want total privacy while on the net.... | 03:30 |
| mukaibot | fellayaboy: that's not possible :) | 03:30 |
| fellayaboy | I heard von ca | 03:30 |
| mukaibot | von ca? | 03:31 |
| needhelp23323 | hello everyone , im having problem installing openssh-server on ubuntu netbook edition | 03:31 |
| whoever | Yourname`: is awstats depmecated, those mods don't allways work, when i used webmin few of the mods worked as described | 03:31 |
| nils_ | fellayaboy: maybe you are looking for something like TOR? | 03:31 |
| mukaibot | needhelp23323: what's the issue? | 03:31 |
| fellayaboy | Sorry i heard can protect u..its better than tor i heard | 03:31 |
| needhelp23323 | mukaibot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827194/ | 03:31 |
| Yourname` | whoever: Ah ok, I'm trying to find something like awstats for webmin. Do you recommend anything that works? | 03:31 |
| fellayaboy | Sites like the piratebay use a vpn i heard and if u browse to share files i should use a vpn i heard | 03:31 |
| mukaibot | needhelp23323: what have you done? LOL | 03:32 |
| needhelp23323 | mukaibot: nothing | 03:32 |
| mukaibot | needhelp23323: lol... | 03:32 |
| auk | fellayaboy: VPN basiclly is this: Point to point connection. It will feel as though you're part of a network from another side of the world (REMOTE). And you can share files between computers as if you're reaally on the other side of the world. Many people use VPN as a proxy server. | 03:32 |
| mukaibot | needhelp23323: can you paste /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:32 |
| whoever | Yourname`: personaly i think webmin is just another layer of crap when the modual can be implemented to almost any server | 03:32 |
| needhelp23323 | mukaibot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827207/ | 03:32 |
| mukaibot | auk: VPN and Proxy are not the same | 03:32 |
| holstein | needhelp23323: what version is that? are the repos still up?.. i think the 10.10 ones are down.. | 03:33 |
| pangolin | mukaibot: run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade , then try to install openssh again | 03:33 |
| whoever | Yourname`: does it hAve to be webmin | 03:33 |
| nils_ | fellayaboy: well you could have a vpn into a network with some obscure foreign provider that doesn't give your details away, there are services for that. However that's beyond the scope of this channel. | 03:33 |
| needhelp23323 | holstein: its 10.04 | 03:33 |
| auk | mukaibot: Pretty much is in the way people uses it. (As it achieves the same effect as if you wanted proxy). | 03:33 |
| Yourname` | whoever: Not really lol | 03:33 |
| fellayaboy | What channel can i go to to discuss that | 03:33 |
| mukaibot | needhelp23323: do what pangolin suggests | 03:33 |
| Yourname` | whoever: I have one default virtual host where all my domains point to as a parking page, wanna be able to see how many unique hits each domain name gets, etc. | 03:34 |
| pangolin | mukaibot: heh sorry, thanks for seeing my mistake :) | 03:34 |
| needhelp23323 | pangolin: someone already told me that , it didnt help | 03:34 |
| pangolin | needhelp23323: ok try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:34 |
| holstein | yeah, or refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#How_to_fix_broken_packages needhelp23323 , and report additional errors | 03:34 |
| ProGimp | Hello, Is there any possible websites Motion Graphics are posted using made in Ubuntu | 03:35 |
| ProGimp | ? | 03:35 |
| fellayaboy | Ok so how can i setup a vpn with two ubintu os? | 03:35 |
| needhelp23323 | pangolin: 0 upgraded , 0 newly installed | 03:35 |
| fellayaboy | I want that remote local feature | 03:35 |
| pangolin | needhelp23323: hmm, sudo apt-get -f install (hopefully it will fic the broken depends) | 03:36 |
| pangolin | fix* | 03:36 |
| fellayaboy | It would be nice to have a griup of my pcs to be on the same network | 03:36 |
| jiffe1 | anyone know of any updated ubuntu certified professional reading material? | 03:36 |
| whoever | Yourname`: try doing it this way, i think the webmin ui is a Pos For the most part https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AWStats | 03:36 |
| needhelp23323 | pangolin: doesnt work | 03:36 |
| bobb | xangu: Thank you, unetbootin worked great | 03:36 |
| holstein | needhelp23323: whats the exact error and way its not working? | 03:37 |
| Yourname` | whoever: Taking a look now, hold up (thanks btw) | 03:37 |
| needhelp23323 | holstein: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827194/ | 03:37 |

| whoever | Yourname`: yw | 03:37 |
| acerimmer | ProGimp: deviant art? | 03:37 |
| auk | Haiiii ProGimp. | 03:38 |
| flowerpot | Is there an easy way to completely purge an installed program after you've installed it from source without using a package manager? | 03:38 |
| needhelp23323 | holstein: what thats does | 03:38 |
| whoever | Yourname`: whats server are you runnin' apache, lightty? | 03:38 |
| auk | flowerpot: Source uninstall with 'make uninstall'. | 03:39 |
| ProGimp | Yeah I have search in Deviantart but I coudn't find one that are been using Ubuntu | 03:39 |
| flowerpot | auk, would you run that from the same directory where you run /.configure and make etc? | 03:39 |
| needhelp23323 | holstein: sorry kinda new to linux , idk what it tells me to do | 03:39 |
| auk | flowerpot: Exactly. | 03:39 |
| holstein | needhelp23323: check it out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#How_to_fix_broken_packages ... its in the menu "fix broken packages". it literaly cant hurt | 03:39 |
| flowerpot | auk, didn't know about that! thanks. | 03:39 |
| auk | flowerpot: You're welcome :3 | 03:39 |
| Yourname` | whoever: apache2. Oh, also, this awstats doesn't detect new domains coming in to it, does it? Because when I register domains, I point ns to it and they all go to default /var/www and that's when I want awstats to see that requests for newdomain.com are coming in and it needs to start putting it all together. Anything like that? | 03:40 |
| pangolin | holstein: i think the problem is that openssh-server is looking for an older version of a openssh-client than is available in the repo, looks like a bug report is needed. | 03:40 |
| holstein | maybe.. its working for my lucis servers though | 03:41 |
| holstein | lucid* | 03:41 |
| mukaibot | pangolin: holstein; reckon uninstalling openssh-client; apt-get install openssh-server would fix it? | 03:41 |
| acerimmer | ProGimp: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=16 & http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=334 & http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335 | 03:41 |

| macer1 | it is OVH job to do it :D | 03:44 |
| mukaibot | SMART is pretty useless. Once it detects an error, the drive is just about dead. | 03:45 |
| auk | flowerpot: Then you may have to refer to their: ruby (installer softwarename) --help or something similar that would give you an uninstall option. | 03:45 |
| ProGimp | hey anyone have tried installing Adobe Premiere in Ubuntu? I love to know before will install it | 03:45 |

| auk | Or installer command --help | 03:45 |
| mukaibot | needhelp23323: you do need the client, removing it allowed apt-get to install the correct version, along with the server | 03:45 |
| bazhang | ProGimp, check the appdb | 03:45 |
| mukaibot | needhelp23323: somehow the installer got confused. | 03:45 |

| mukaibot | needhelp23323: to test this, type: telnet localhost 22 - if you get a blank screen, it's working | 03:48 |
| needhelp23323 | mukaibot: yeah.. as i said im new to linux how do i connect my ssh server from my other computer | 03:48 |
| mukaibot | needhelp23323: you'll need to configure your router / firewall if you want to access your computer externally | 03:48 |
| whoever | Yourname`: ya its just weird that what should woulk doesn't. is there a confg io in /etc or one of the apache configs | 03:48 |
| mukaibot | is your other computer on the same network? | 03:48 |

| DinoMuffin | needhelp23323: what is your network topology? Specifically, where is your server connected in relation to your computer? | 03:55 |
| ubu_noob | pangolin: are 32bit ubuntu systems more stable than 64bit systems? | 03:55 |
| macer1 | ubu_noob: no | 03:56 |

| auk | macer1: That means that packet is not 100%. You only got SOME OF IT. TRUNCATED means you've reached some KIND of LIMIT, and then it slices off anymore that would've exceeded such limit. | 04:00 |
| macer1 | hmm | 04:00 |
| macer1 | but why | 04:00 |
| auk | Example: I can only make an 8 character password. I used: dreamcaster for a password. BUT dreamcas <------ Becomers the password. TER is TRUNCATED. | 04:01 |

| zykotick9 | !hostname | Yourname` | 04:12 |
| ubottu | Yourname`: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 04:12 |
| whoever | Yourname`: so it is done in .bashrc so i gave you a link to hopefully explaine it | 04:12 |
| Yourname` | Thanks zykotick9 and whoever | 04:13 |
| whoever | Yourname`: now if you just want to change your hostname look at /etc/hostname | 04:15 |
| zykotick9 | whoever: as ubottu mentions, it's REALLY important if you edit /etc/hostname to edit /etc/hosts at the same time! sudo breaks if they don't match. | 04:16 |
| Yourname` | zykotick9: I first edited /etc/hosts and then modified /etc/hostname | 04:18 |

| hex20dec | Hey everyone, I need some help. I by accident executed chmod -R 777 on my phpmyadmin folder and now I can't access it. How do I restore it to it's normal permissions? | 05:06 |
| Mixxit | after i install ubuntu text only what can i drop the ram to? | 05:06 |
| Mixxit | 64? | 05:06 |
| holstein | hex20dec: i would probably try to chown as root... sudo -s then work on it | 05:07 |
| holstein | Mixxit: i would leave as much as possible... depends on what you are doing if 64 or 128 will work for you | 05:07 |
| jwh1981 | Mixxit: The lowest Ive been able to *run* Ubuntu/Debian at is 40MB | 05:08 |
| Mixxit | ok | 05:08 |
| Mixxit | i just want it for a very simple cronjob | 05:08 |
| webnet | hex20dec, ??? 777 should give ANYONE permission to do anything to it... | 05:08 |
| jwh1981 | Mixxit: Id imagine 64 is perfectly fine, just make sure you give it 256MB+ of swap to be safe | 05:09 |
| Mixxit | okies | 05:09 |
| Mixxit | thanks! | 05:09 |
| hex20dec | Tell me about it. | 05:09 |
| hex20dec | And that is why I need to restore it. | 05:09 |
| hex20dec | So, how would I go about restoring it? | 05:09 |
| jwh1981 | Mixxit: Welcome. | 05:10 |
| J7 | I need help with my microphone. it works, but it's extremely quiet and I have the levels turned all the way up | 05:10 |
| hex20dec | "Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!" | 05:10 |
| hex20dec | This is the message my phpmyadmin is outputting. | 05:10 |
| webnet | ok so do sudo chmod 755 | 05:11 |
| webnet | hex20dec, | 05:11 |
| webnet | that was for you | 05:11 |
| hex20dec | Yeah, thanks. But I'm just curious, is there a way to restore permissions to it's ealier point? | 05:12 |
| hex20dec | Because all of the files just changed to 777 | 05:12 |
| Vexiant | J7, sudo pulseaudio --kill | 05:12 |
| Vexiant | rm -r ~/.pulse ~/.asound* | 05:12 |
| Vexiant | sudo rm /etc/asound.conf | 05:12 |
| hex20dec | Because of the recursive | 05:12 |
| Vexiant | in terminal | 05:12 |
| Vexiant | signout and then sign back in | 05:12 |
| webnet | did you use -R hex20dec ? | 05:12 |
| Vexiant | type: alsamixer into terminal | 05:12 |
| hex20dec | Yes. | 05:12 |
| webnet | ok | 05:12 |
| hex20dec | webnet | 05:12 |
| webnet | so then chmod -R 755 | 05:13 |
| webnet | those are default permissions right? | 05:13 |
| webnet | iirc | 05:13 |
| hex20dec | I sure do hope so. | 05:13 |
| hex20dec | And thanks. | 05:14 |
| webnet | hex20dec, yep see if it works dont thank me yet :P | 05:14 |
| hex20dec | Lol. | 05:14 |
| hex20dec | Yeah. | 05:14 |
| hex20dec | I'll let you know in a sec. | 05:14 |
| webnet | cool | 05:14 |
| hex20dec | Yup, you were correct. | 05:15 |
| J7 | Vexiant, I typed the wrong password for sudo and now it won't let me do anything, how do I redo it? | 05:15 |
| hex20dec | 755 is the default. | 05:15 |
| Vexiant | Close terminal and reopen it | 05:16 |
| J7 | I tried that | 05:16 |
| Vexiant | Can you output the error? | 05:16 |
| Vexiant | pastebin it or something if you can, J7 | 05:17 |
| J7 | Vexiant, E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/***** not ours. | 05:17 |
| J7 | E: main.c: Failed to kill daemon: Permission denied | 05:17 |
| Vexiant | Log out and come back | 05:18 |
| J7 | ok brb | 05:18 |
| Vexiant | Ok | 05:18 |
| Vexiant | Now don't type the wrong password this time, J7 :P | 05:20 |
| J7 | yea yea | 05:21 |
| J7 | still saying the same thing | 05:21 |
| CactusWiZaRd | damn it | 05:22 |
| J7 | I'm sure I typed it in correctly | 05:22 |
| CactusWiZaRd | Ubuntu has changed A LOT | 05:22 |
| Vexiant | If your password isn't working, that's not my problem. Anyhow, you can figure that out later | 05:22 |
| Vexiant | so | 05:22 |
| Vexiant | just type alsamixer | 05:22 |
| Vexiant | into terminal | 05:22 |
| FloodBot1 | Vexiant: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:22 |
| Vexiant | It shouldn't require sudo | 05:22 |
| J7 | done, Vexiant | 05:22 |
| Vexiant | Did it work? | 05:23 |
| J7 | yes | 05:23 |
| Vexiant | Alright, good luck with the password issue. I have no idea about passwords | 05:23 |
| J7 | ok thanks | 05:23 |

| djQuery | trying to install on my wifes gigabyt ga-ma790x-ud4p and the network card doesnt seem to be detected | 05:26 |
| djQuery | I know it used to work when booted off the CD but not anymore. | 05:27 |
| djQuery | says that the cable is disconnected | 05:27 |
| mukaibot | djQuery: do you have any 'eth' devices in "ifconfig -a" | 05:27 |
| lwq1996 | ok guys i got a little puzzle, when i try to play songs on youtube with ubuntu its worse than trying to play them on windows 95 | 05:27 |
| CactusWiZaRd | lwq1996: have u checked the sound card settings? | 05:28 |
| mukaibot | djQuery: do you have any 'eth' devices in "ifconfig -a" | 05:28 |
| djQuery | sorry | 05:28 |
| djQuery | mukaibot: sorry going between machines 2nd | 05:28 |
| lwq1996 | not really, i read online that it might be plugins but i installed flash a while back | 05:28 |
| Syron | if the video actually loads then the plugin is detected, so that's probably not it as long as the plugin is fairly recent | 05:29 |
| CactusWiZaRd | lwq1996: I had the same issue with... Don't recall the version now, was like v.6 or something like that, and back then it was because of the soundcard | 05:30 |
| lwq1996 | it works its just really choppy and glitchy | 05:30 |
| djQuery | mukaibot: yes I have a carth listed there | 05:30 |
| lwq1996 | im running v 10 i think | 05:30 |
| mukaibot | djQuery: try replacing the cable then | 05:30 |
| mukaibot | djQuery: the network card is detected | 05:30 |
| mukaibot | I gtg, good luck! | 05:31 |
| CactusWiZaRd | lwq1996: i recommend checking the soundcard, and if there's nothing, just try to find the correct drivers | 05:31 |
| lwq1996 | ive had it installed on this computer before a while back and didnt have any problem could it be that its a wubi install | 05:32 |
| CactusWiZaRd | lwq1996: naah, don't think so | 05:32 |
| CactusWiZaRd | but it's possible | 05:32 |
| lwq1996 | how do i get to the soundcard from desktop | 05:32 |
| holstein | if the sound issues are isolated to youtube, i might explore flash/graphics drivers | 05:32 |
| CactusWiZaRd | hm, I think I'll change from mobile to wlan, brb -> | 05:33 |
| lwq1996 | its not really traditional flash its using its like gnash or something like that | 05:33 |
| om4rezz | om4rezz: | 05:34 |

| MestreLion | !thanks | 05:34 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 05:34 |
| holstein | lwq1996: that would be another great place to start... isolate the audio device and drivers by playing audio successfully in some other way, then move on to flash i say | 05:34 |
| lwq1996 | ok will try, i may be back with more questions since im still a newb | 05:35 |
| omar | hello guys | 05:36 |
| omar | hellloooo | 05:37 |
| Syron | I don't want to put down gnash.. especially since I'm not familiar with it, but you can try adding the official flash plugin to %HOME/.mozilla/plugins to see if that speeds things up, assuming you're running firefox | 05:37 |
| Syron | just as an experiment.. if you're currently not using it | 05:38 |
| mohsinhijazee | if a package is available (say redmine) its better to do via apt-get or do a custom install? Pros and cons? | 05:38 |
| Syron | it is better, if it's available. It is proprietary, so I wasn't sure. | 05:39 |
| webnet | mohsinhijazee, apt-get has pros in the fact that it is GUARUNTEED to be stable | 05:39 |
| mohsinhijazee | webnet: and what about the schema/data that would be already there in case of upgrades? Works smooth? | 05:40 |
| webnet | but, if you are looking for bleedeng edge features do a custom from a deb or build it | 05:40 |
| mohsinhijazee | webnet: I guess that would be handled by Rails migrations. | 05:40 |

| urlin2u | yitz_, probably lol I'm sure of it. :D | 06:09 |
| deel | Hi please see my issue I shared here http://askubuntu.com/questions/101018/how-to-set-keyboard-for-phonetic-hindi-typing-oneiric-for-wx-keyboard-on-qwerty | 06:09 |
| yitz_ | urlin2u: Heh. Could be. Thanks for trying, though :) | 06:09 |
| damo22 | wiggmpk: do you know how to use mdadm, i need help with recovering a raid5 | 06:09 |
| urlin2u | yitz_, no problem. | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | wiggmpk: it all depends how one partition my guess? | 06:10 |
| wiggmpk | damo22: my experience is limited to personal only. I am no expert at it, and have never had to recover information for a linux drive (only Windows) | 06:10 |
| wiggmpk | lotuspsychje: is it possible to have the Windows 7 installation recognize an mdadm partition? I mean I already know it cant out of the box, there has to be something loaded to recognize it, I just dont know how to google that lol | 06:11 |
| noyb | hello. using ubuntu 11.10... still trying to mount cdrom... slowly figuring it out... now when i try to mount using gmount i get "pixmap error." time to go back to pencil and paper :-) any ideas? | 06:12 |
| wiggmpk | lotuspsychje: I know you can install a striped mdadm fakeraid and partition a space for a Win7 install on a single disk in the array, but I want to stripe the Win7 install as well | 06:12 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: your cdrom doesnt mount automatically when you insert the disc? | 06:13 |
| lotuspsychje | wiggmpk: not sure about that one sorry mate, would virtualization help you with win7? | 06:14 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... it spins... but nada... then i use gmount & still nada... | 06:14 |
| wiggmpk | lotuspsychje: no, I have a specific need for a native win7 install (already have a VM and more of a proof of concept and education) | 06:14 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: do you have a cdrom that you absolutely know works? not damage? | 06:14 |
| noyb | several, wiggmpk | 06:15 |
| noyb | none work | 06:15 |
| b0s | hey guys, my computer just froze for a second, and now a process called md0_raid6 is taking up 27% cpu usage | 06:15 |
| b0s | is my computer exploding? | 06:15 |
| b0s | i feel like my raid array just broke down | 06:15 |
| coolstar-pc | b0s: Try rebooting? | 06:15 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: in terminal, what does this say "ls /dev/cd* | 06:16 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... will give it a try... brb | 06:16 |
| tyro | hello. i'm new to ubuntu. whats the best way to get started? whats a good theme to choose? | 06:16 |
| lotuspsychje | lol its raid rampage here | 06:16 |
| b0s | coolstar-pc: mdadm --detail is telling me a rebuild is 74% complete. i don't know why it's rebuilding :( | 06:17 |
| b0s | it says its resyncing | 06:17 |
| wiggmpk | b0s: probably because something or some sector if your array was damaged | 06:17 |
| b0s | wiggmpk: that's frightening. | 06:17 |
| b0s | do you know how i can figure out what went wrong? | 06:17 |
| wiggmpk | b0s: it would be more frightening if it wasnt rebuilding | 06:17 |
| b0s | heh | 06:18 |
| b0s | i suppose | 06:18 |
| wiggmpk | b0s: check the logs mate | 06:18 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... it says... "ls: cannot access /dev/cd: No such file or directory" | 06:18 |
| b0s | wiggmpk: which logs? syslog? is there a separate log for raid devices? | 06:18 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: note the * after it, "ls /dev/cd* " | 06:18 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... sorry... old eyes... brb | 06:19 |
| wiggmpk | b0s: what style of raid are you using? | 06:19 |
| b0s | raid 6, linux software raid | 06:19 |
| b0s | five 500mb partitions on five separate drives | 06:19 |
| b0s | 1.5tb available space | 06:19 |
| b0s | wiggmpk: http://pastebin.com/qUTEzZgn | 06:20 |
| wiggmpk | b0s: 500mb x 5 is 2.5gb mate not 1.5tb | 06:20 |
| b0s | wiggmpk: 1.5tb useable space, it's raid 6 | 06:21 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... it says " /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrw" | 06:21 |
| freshnick | wheres mukaibot | 06:21 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: hmm, I think this should try and mount it "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt" | 06:22 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... will try... brb | 06:23 |
| wiggmpk | b0s: as for you, I never really looked in the logs for raid failures, so I really dont know lol, but I am sure if somethings going on, it would be in there somewhere | 06:23 |
| b0s | yeah | 06:24 |
| wiggmpk | b0s truly sorry I couldnt be more help =/ | 06:24 |
| b0s | that's fine thanks :) | 06:24 |
| b0s | the only thing i found in syslog is three lines saying "rebuild event detected on md device /dev/md/0" | 06:24 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... it says... mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 06:25 |
| noyb | mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /mnt busy | 06:25 |
| noyb | mount: according to mtab, /dev/sr0 is already mounted on /mnt | 06:25 |
| b0s | i'm googling and it may be completely normal, there's a cron job which does a raid array check every month or something | 06:25 |
| b0s | maybe i just never noticed it before | 06:25 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: well then do "cd /mnt" and then "ls" to see whats there | 06:25 |
| Mixxit | im in rescue mode can anyone help fix my grub | 06:26 |
| Mixxit | i have lots of problems | 06:26 |
| wiggmpk | Mixxit: depends if its hard lol | 06:26 |
| Mixxit | seems to be! | 06:27 |
| saji89 | I have been trying to set up a name based virtual host in pache on ubuntu 11.10, to a folder /var/www/test. But it keeps on pointing to /var/www only. How can I solve it? | 06:27 |
| b0s | welp, computer hasn't caught fire yet, gonna assume all is well | 06:27 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, rescue mode what exactly do you mean can you get to the desktop, or is that a metaphore? | 06:27 |
| b0s | thanks folks | 06:27 |
| Mixxit | the rescue mode on the alternate cd | 06:27 |
| Mixxit | i have a shell in front of me | 06:28 |
| Mixxit | the disk is /dev/sda | 06:28 |
| Mixxit | but shell is the cd rescue shell | 06:28 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, never used it you can fx gru pretty easily from the terminal on the dektop, have you run the bootscript perchance? | 06:28 |
| urlin2u | grub* | 06:28 |
| CactusWiZaRd | anyone know how to connect to gtalk with bitlbee? | 06:28 |
| wiggmpk | saji89: I am sure it would be a config setting for apache, change the root directory (probably in the conf file) | 06:28 |
| Mixxit | i tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 06:28 |
| murlidhar | hello all . how can i temporarily disable automounting of external media devices ? | 06:28 |
| wiggmpk | !enter Mixxit | 06:28 |
| wiggmpk | pff Mixxit try and keep it to 1 line to avoid spammage | 06:29 |
| saji89 | wiggmpk: DId all that to no use. | 06:29 |
| wiggmpk | saji89: have your restarted apache? | 06:29 |
| saji89 | wiggmpk: ya. | 06:29 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 06:29 |
| Mixxit | i don't have mdadm in this rescue shell | 06:30 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, if you can chroot from that command line you should be set if the mbr your aiming at is on the correct drive if you have more then one and the bios is reading it first. | 06:31 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... as follows... cd /mnt does nothing... ls says "reading directory .: input/output error" | 06:31 |
| wiggmpk | saji89: have you tried restarting your computer? | 06:31 |
| Mixxit | says mount -B is an invalid option | 06:32 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: then there is probably a driver issue with your cdrom drive (at least it indicates that) or a program with the actual drive (physically) | 06:32 |
| ejv | b0s: pastebin your dmesg | 06:32 |
| saji89 | wiggmpk: yes.. that too. | 06:32 |
| ejv | b0s: that will highlight your raid errors | 06:32 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, I change OS often I just use supergrub, if IO forget to set the mbr correctly and reload from the desktop. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 06:32 |
| saji89 | wiggmpk: My virtualhost configuration file looks like this. | 06:33 |
| Mixxit | this is just a plain install | 06:33 |
| saji89 | wiggmpk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/827328/ | 06:33 |
| Mixxit | it left me with a black screen on bootup | 06:33 |
| Mixxit | so i can't get in to it to do anything | 06:33 |
| Mixxit | worst of all the rescue mode freezes when retrieving packages | 06:33 |
| === kralle|zZz is now known as kralle | ||
| urlin2u | Mixxit, hah have you tried nomodeset it may be a graphics driver needed. | 06:33 |
| Mixxit | so i have to drop to emergency shell to do anything | 06:33 |
| wiggmpk | saji89: do you have the default config file too? | 06:34 |
| Mixxit | its text only install | 06:34 |
| urlin2u | !nomodeset > Mixxit | 06:34 |
| ubottu | Mixxit, please see my private message | 06:34 |
| b0s | ejv: http://pastebin.com/06j50TJk | 06:34 |
| saji89 | wiggmpk: Ya its there. | 06:34 |
| noyb | ok... thx... uhh... one of your questions way back was do I have a cd that I know works... well... when I installed 11.10 it started automatically & worked just fine... i can reinstall it... no problem... only with cds or dvds that don't start automatically is there a problem... | 06:34 |
| Mixxit | it doesn't even let me type anything | 06:34 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, but X is used a desktop or headless, just trying to understand you. | 06:34 |
| Mixxit | there is nothing when the system boots, no grub no option to type anything | 06:34 |
| Mixxit | it's just black | 06:34 |
| murlidhar | hello all . how can i temporarily disable automounting of external media devices ? | 06:34 |
| frybye | Hi - what command do I need to run a programme that continues to run after closing the terminal window? | 06:35 |
| Mixxit | install went fine | 06:35 |
| b0s | ejv: huge number of ata1 errors, is one of my drives failing? i haven't gotten any SMART errors, and mdadm seems to think it's fine | 06:35 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, you need to tap shift to get the grub menu with single installs | 06:35 |
| zykotick9 | frybye: screen is one option, aka gnuscreen | 06:35 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: did you install from scratch (alternate cd) or through a livecd? | 06:35 |
| b0s | i don't mind if a drive fails, i actually have a spare 500gb drive sitting here on my desk i can just swap it in | 06:35 |
| Mixxit | tap shift at power on? | 06:36 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, you have a desktop you use right? | 06:36 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, yes | 06:36 |
| zykotick9 | Mixxit: hold shift is probably easier | 06:36 |
| Mixxit | just shows a black screen | 06:36 |
| CactusWiZaRd | god damn it | 06:36 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... i downloaded 11.10 from ubuntu... burned it to disk... and gleefully slaughtered windows vista... install was flawless. | 06:36 |
| frybye | I am running unity with 11.10 and want to be able to start indicator-weather so it continues when closing terminal - what would be the command in that case..? | 06:36 |
| urlin2u | zykotick9, I always tap like a nervous user, fast. :D | 06:37 |
| Mixxit | with shift i mean, it shows a black screen still | 06:37 |
| frybye | sorry that was for zykotick9 | 06:37 |
| theadmin | frybye: indicator-weather &disown | 06:37 |
| wiggmpk | saji89: what is in "/etc/apache2/sites-available/" ? | 06:37 |
| dark|angel | hey there | 06:37 |
| frybye | oh good thanks theadmin | 06:37 |
| dark|angel | is there any way to configure Ubuntu to auto generate SSH keys on boot? | 06:37 |
| urlin2u | Mixxit, you change any grub perimeters? | 06:37 |
| dark|angel | if it doesn't find any in /etc/ssh ? | 06:37 |
| Mixxit | no stock nextnextnext | 06:37 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: lol right, but was it through a LiveCD (where you had a fully functioning Ubuntu loaded) or through the older text menu driven installer? | 06:37 |
| saji89 | wiggmpk: artis.local default default-ssl test.local | 06:38 |
| frybye | theadmin: nice one - just the job... thanks | 06:38 |
| noyb | live cd | 06:38 |
| theadmin | frybye: Heh. Works with everything basically so | 06:38 |
| zykotick9 | dark|angel: ssh keys should typically change (how can you verify it's the correct box, if it changes every boot?) | 06:38 |
| frybye | theadmin: great - things are so simle -when you know how- heheh | 06:38 |
| noyb | sorry wiggmpk... live cd | 06:38 |
| frybye | e e e simple | 06:39 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: hmm, then I might seek a second opinion for troubleshooting, because the drive shouldnt have an issue wiht drivers if you used the livecd | 06:39 |
| dark|angel | zykotick9 I'm trying to make a couple of Xen templates. I said in case it doesn't find any SSH keys in /etc/ssh - for xen templates there shouldn't be any | 06:39 |
| wiggmpk | saji89: and do you have something in /var/www/test/ like a landing page, index.hmt? | 06:39 |
| zykotick9 | dark|angel: sorry. i get ya. hadn't contemplated the reason. good luck. | 06:39 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... maybe i'm overthinking this... when a cd or dvd mounts... shouldn't a window pop up with the program in it? | 06:40 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... in other words, shouldn't something obvious happen? | 06:40 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: it should, or a box to ask you what you want to do. but if it gives you an input/output error that's not good | 06:40 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: is there a disc or cd image on your desktop? | 06:41 |
| dark|angel | zykotick9 RedHat based distros have a sshd script that autogenerate keys if they don't find any. It wouldn't be an issue, but if the keys are missing, the user can't login over SSH | 06:41 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... damn... time to go back to my good old trash 80 :) | 06:41 |
| Ben64 | noyb: pastebin "ls -l /dev/s*" | 06:41 |
| zykotick9 | dark|angel: i've seen ubuntu generate those keys either during install, or on first run. I don't know the answer though. | 06:41 |
| kblin | hi folks | 06:42 |
| dark|angel | zykotick9 Xen and other Virtual Machines are different do | 06:42 |
| kblin | I've just upgraded a 10.10 install to 11.10, and now X11 won't start up | 06:42 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... do you mean does disk or cd image appear on desktop? | 06:42 |
| kblin | it seems like it's still trying to load the "nvidia" module, while I seem to have nouveau | 06:43 |
| noyb | Ben64... will try... brb | 06:43 |
| wiggmpk | saji89: did you enable the site? "sudo a2ensite <your site name>" then restart apache "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" | 06:43 |
| kblin | but this still happens after I blew away /etx/X11/xorg.conf | 06:43 |
| theadmin | kblin: blacklist nvidia | 06:43 |
| kblin | theadmin: | 06:43 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: yeah, like something that would indicate a disc in the drive on your desktop (icon) | 06:43 |
| kblin | theadmin: I don't have a module | 06:43 |
| === pehden_ is now known as pehden | ||
| saji89 | wiggmpk: Yes. | 06:44 |
| theadmin | kblin: I know, just blacklist it so it stops trying | 06:44 |
| Mixxit | fixed | 06:44 |
| kblin | theadmin: in modules.conf.d? | 06:44 |
| Mixxit | somehow managed to get past the retrieving net-usb failure | 06:44 |
| Mixxit | maybe a network issue i guess | 06:44 |
| theadmin | dafuq is that, kblin? No, /etc/modprobe.d/anything_you_want_to_call_it.conf, add a line saying "blacklist nvidia" | 06:45 |
| wiggmpk | saji89: im afraid I'm all out of suggestions | 06:45 |
| noyb | Ben64... yikes! lots of "authentic frontier gibberish" (Blazing Saddles) :-) | 06:45 |
| saji89 | wiggmpk: Oops. | 06:46 |
| smokeycastle | wait so all those words before the .conf suffix dont actually matter other than as human readability? | 06:46 |
| theadmin | smokeycastle: With modprobe? Nope | 06:46 |
| smokeycastle | :O | 06:46 |
| smokeycastle | is that the same with init scripts? | 06:47 |
| smokeycastle | hmm wait stupid question lol | 06:47 |
| noyb | Ben64... it coughed up lots of permissions stuff... do you want me to paste it or ? | 06:47 |
| theadmin | smokeycastle: Well it is and it isn't, lol, I mean, you can call an initscript anything but you have to use the same name when running it then | 06:48 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: probably repeat the command with "sudo" in front | 06:48 |
| noyb | ok... | 06:48 |
| Ben64 | it shouldn't say anything about permissions | 06:48 |
| kralle | sorry is there no more choice for netbook remix in wuby ? | 06:49 |
| theadmin | kralle: Ubuntu and Ubuntu Netbook Remix are now the same thing cause we're using the netbook interface (Unity) by default | 06:49 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: oh wait, it should show you permissions (sorry brain fart) | 06:49 |
| kralle | oh ok thanks theadmin | 06:50 |
| kralle | :) | 06:50 |
| wiggmpk | Ben64: i think he's talking about 'rw- - -+1 <user/group> stuff | 06:50 |
| kblin | theadmin: doesn't change a thing, though | 06:50 |
| noyb | wiggmpk... thx... repeated it with sudo... it just disappeared... and yes... it was all permissions info | 06:50 |
| theadmin | kblin: Well after adding that you're supposed to reboot iirc. | 06:50 |
| Ben64 | noyb: what did the errors say | 06:50 |
| kblin | same "failed to load module 'nvidia'" from startx | 06:50 |
| kblin | theadmin: I got that much | 06:50 |
| theadmin | kblin: Ah, startx | 06:50 |
| noyb | Ben64... you mean the permissions? | 06:51 |
| Ben64 | noyb: yes | 06:51 |
| theadmin | kblin: Ok just a sec, I'll write up an xorg.conf that's supposed to work :/ | 06:51 |
| saji89 | wiggmpk: Anyways thanks for your time. | 06:51 |
| wiggmpk | saji89: np | 06:51 |
| kblin | well, X11 isn't coming up. startx seems like a sane way to figure out why the heck that's happening | 06:51 |
| noyb | Ben64... i'll paste it... | 06:51 |
| kblin | and X11 looking for an nvidia driver that doesn't exist seems like a good reason | 06:51 |
| kblin | the question is where the heck that's coming from | 06:52 |
| wiggmpk | kblin: did you install the nvidia drivers at any time? | 06:52 |
| theadmin | kblin: There you go: https://pzt.me/9jrt | 06:52 |
| kblin | wiggmpk: sure, back on the old 10.10 install I had them | 06:52 |

| noyb | wiggmpk & Ben64, thx for the help... it is appreciated. | 07:01 |
| kblin | theadmin: well, it seems like I have no window manager anymore, that seems to have disappeared during the update | 07:01 |
| kblin | theadmin: upgrade, rather | 07:01 |
| wiggmpk | noyb: np bud, wish I could have helped more (been saying that a lot tonight) | 07:01 |
| kblin | but yes, X11 is fixed | 07:01 |
| theadmin | kblin: ew boy... I suggest you reinstall :/ Upgrades break Ubuntus | 07:01 |
| wiggmpk | kblin: +1 to what theadmin said | 07:02 |
| * kblin sighs | 07:02 | |
| noyb | wiggmpk... the fault, if any, is mine. | 07:02 |
| tnm | theadmin: i found a command sudo useradd -G www-data kubanc where www-data is group and kubanc is a user... | 07:02 |
| kblin | what's the point in using a debian-based distro when you can't dist-upgrade? :) | 07:02 |
| Flannel | tnm, theadmin: No. You don't want to do that. | 07:02 |
| Flannel | kblin: Upgrades work fine for many users. | 07:02 |
| theadmin | Flannel: I have to point out (s)he uses useradd, not usermod. That's safe. | 07:02 |
| theadmin | ...I think | 07:03 |
| Flannel | tnm, theadmin: use `adduser username group` instead | 07:03 |
| theadmin | That works too | 07:03 |
| tnm | Flannel: well i already did and it didn't work :D | 07:03 |
| theadmin | I'm used to "usermod -aG" myself but that's just me | 07:03 |
| Flannel | tnm: The problem with the command you gave above is -G without -a will replace secondary groups and not append. | 07:03 |
| kblin | Flannel: I was responding to 08:01 < theadmin> kblin: ew boy... I suggest you reinstall :/ Upgrades break Ubuntus | 07:03 |
| Flannel | tnm: it does work (you need sudo) | 07:03 |
| tnm | i did sudo, but i still cannot copy files to a folder which has permission for group www-data | 07:04 |
| Flannel | kblin: That's his experience, there's a large group of people that upgrades work just fine on. I haven't reinstalled my machine since 6.06, for example. There's a variety of things that will affect your chances of success during an upgrade. | 07:04 |
| kblin | theadmin: anyway, once I install a desktop environment, it seems fine | 07:04 |
| Flannel | tnm: Does that folder give www-data group write permissions? | 07:04 |
| kblin | Flannel: well, what bit me is that for the first time in years, I need to put in an xorg.conf again to make X11 start up | 07:05 |
| kblin | and that kde broke during the upgrade to 11.10 | 07:05 |
| theadmin | Flannel: Well I never had a successful Ubuntu upgrade myself though I do guess it's just me. Also, "his" doesn't apply to me, but whatever. | 07:05 |
| kblin | but both have since been fixed | 07:05 |
| saschxd | hello good morning @ll | 07:06 |

| dark|angel | how do I add a script to startup? | 07:06 |
| kblin | theadmin: in any case, thanks for poining me in the right direction | 07:06 |
| tnm | Flannel: you rock... and you were right. the command sudo chmod 7-R 77 "folderName" solved the problem :D | 07:06 |
| tnm | sorry chmod -R 777 | 07:07 |
| noyb | Ben64... i thought i sent my reply which was "pastebin?" | 07:07 |
| Flannel | tnm: 777 is generally the wrong way to chmod things. | 07:07 |

| === mousey is now known as Guest26657 | ||
| tnm | I agree... | 07:07 |
| Flannel | or g+w, which is what you really wanted. | 07:07 |

| noyb | Ben64... we may have to hold off on the pastebin... i'm writing with one hand, typing with the other, & my feet are trying to keep my pedal powered pc going... :-) | 07:09 |
| Flannel | tnm: g+w will give group write permissions, if that doesn't give you write permissions, you're not the owner/group. | 07:10 |
| Ben64 | noyb: O_o use a plug or something | 07:10 |
| Flannel | tnm: After adding yourself to the www-data group (I assume the file has been set to have a group of www-data?), did you log in/restart/whatever you want to call it your terminal? | 07:12 |
| tnm | Flannel: g+q command gives me drw-rw-r-- 16 www-data www-data permissions. I cannot copy files. The command: id kubanc gave me this: uid=1001(kubanc) gid=1001(kubanc) groups=1001(kubanc),33(www-data) | 07:12 |
| tnm | Flannel: no, i didn't restart | 07:12 |
| Flannel | tnm: not restart, just log out/back in (from the terminal, so if this is gnome-terminal, close/re-open is fine) | 07:13 |
| Flannel | tnm: rw-rw-r-- is correct. | 07:13 |
| Flannel | tnm: Is that a directory or a file? | 07:13 |
| Flannel | oh wait, I answered my own question. | 07:13 |
| quiescens | i'd guess directory | 07:13 |
| tnm | directory :D | 07:13 |
| quiescens | in which case execute is really probably needed | 07:14 |
| Flannel | tnm: Directories need +x as well, to cd into them. I.... guess I don't know if you need +x to write to them. | 07:14 |
| noyb | Ben64... you mean electricity? Heard of it... never had much use for it. The hamster in my little wheel supplies all the power I need. ;-) | 07:14 |
| Flannel | tnm: (this is why setting everything to a particular numeric value is problematic at best) | 07:14 |
| Ben64 | noyb: do you want your cd drive to work? | 07:14 |
| saschxd | now that dmraid shows me asr_, asr_2 and asr_5 .... which one/two would be the right to mount ? | 07:15 |
| noyb | Ben64... yes, of course... but at this point it's winning the war. | 07:15 |
| tnm | Flannel: i still cannot copy files, should i restart the system? | 07:15 |
| Flannel | tnm: No. Did you chmod that directory a+x? | 07:15 |
| Ben64 | noyb: I asked you 34 minutes ago for a pastebin and you still haven't provided that. It really isn't that complicated to mount a cd drive, but if you never respond, it will never happen | 07:16 |
| noyb | Ben64... I'm not ignoring you... I'm really not... I'm just trying to write down everything suggested... follow protocol... not look like too big a jerk... and still wind up with a working cd drive... | 07:17 |

| theadmin | dRounse: Probably no BIOS support for that? | 08:26 |
| iceroot | dRounse: what means "wont boot usb" no option in bios? | 08:26 |
| theadmin | dRounse: Or the kernel is configured without USB boot support? (not the case with Ubuntu's default though) | 08:26 |

| === CumfyZone is now known as EJ | ||
| === EJ is now known as EncryptedJesus | ||
| === EncryptedJesus is now known as register | ||
| iceroot | dRounse: ok, i had the same error-message long time before (8.04) the reason was there was a bug in the kernel delivered with the cd, the kernel from the repos was fine. my workaround was "using the minimal iso which is pulling the latest kernel from the repos" | 08:30 |
| coolstar-ipod | dRounse: try Kubuntu or Xubuntu | 08:30 |
| iceroot | coolstar-ipod: they all use the same kernel by default on cd | 08:30 |
| === register is now known as Guest99243 | ||
| === Guest99243 is now known as EncryptedJesus | ||
| iceroot | dRounse: maybe you could try the minimal-iso workaround | 08:31 |
| iceroot | !minimal | dRounse | 08:31 |
| ubottu | dRounse: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 08:31 |
| dRounse | iceroot: but ive tried different distros | 08:31 |
| karstenk1977_ | I have crashed my ubuntu webserver. Now i have made a restore of the whole data in a seperate directory. How can I setup my server with the restored data? only copy in the old directorys? | 08:31 |
| iceroot | karstenk1977_: you also stored the file-permissions/owner? | 08:31 |
| karstenk1977_ | it looks like so | 08:32 |
| iceroot | karstenk1977_: or do all files no belong to the same user? | 08:32 |
| dRounse | the problem is... would it really happen multiple times with different distros | 08:32 |
| karstenk1977_ | look like every user is the correct one | 08:32 |
| iceroot | karstenk1977_: ok, i would boot the server with a live-cd, mount the hdd and copy all files back | 08:32 |
| iceroot | karstenk1977_: it may also work without a live-cd if you can boot the server still | 08:33 |
| karstenk1977_ | its a root-server | 08:33 |
| mufflon | dRounse: some minutes ago you wrote: usb boots but wont go to live cd. what do u mean? | 08:33 |
| coolstar-ipod | dRounse: you can also try asking in ##linux as since it is affecting more than one distro it is a Linux issue in general | 08:33 |
| HermanDE | Anybody have a working tproxy server? | 08:33 |

| iceroot | if this is the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/601226 | 08:45 |

| dRounse | iceroot: ok lemme download it | 08:46 |
| iceroot | do we have point-releases for non-lts version? LIKE 11.10.2? | 08:46 |

| karstenk1977_ | sory a command? | 08:52 |
| karstenk1977_ | a command to kill all processes | 08:52 |
| cristian_c | I'm using Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, I purchased an asus WL-330gE. The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails | 08:52 |
| theadmin | karstenk1977_: Err... "poweroff" | 08:53 |

| dns53 | karstenk1977_ init 0 | 08:53 |
| iceroot | karstenk1977_: live-cd is the only way to have them stopped all and still a running system | 08:53 |
| cristian_c | the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect. So I updated the firmware to the latest version, from version 2.0.1.9 to 2.0.2.0, but unfortunately the problem persists | 08:53 |
| cristian_c | What can I do to solve the problem? | 08:53 |
| dRounse | karstenk1977_: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-controlling-access-to-linux-services.html | 08:53 |
| karstenk1977_ | but i told you that i cannot mount any cd | 08:53 |
| iceroot | karstenk1977_: and i told you its ok to have them running but a live-cd would be better | 08:54 |
| iceroot | karstenk1977_: but you have a broken server and a backup, what should happen? the server even more broken? | 08:55 |
| iceroot | karstenk1977_: if you still have the backup, everything is fine | 08:55 |
| iceroot | karstenk1977_: the most important thing is NOT to change the file-owners/permissions | 08:56 |
| karstenk1977_ | ok, iceroot i will try the most services i could stop | 08:56 |

| theadmin | jyfl987: That's offtopic here -_- Unless you are running the server. Then try setting up an IRC or an XMPP server, I guess. | 09:11 |
| ikonia | MrKeuner: most dhcp servers will update the dns records when they assign it | 09:11 |
| MrKeuner | I see noip2 is in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d for instance | 09:12 |
| theadmin | ikonia: No, update a DNS record from a DynDNS service for a dynamic IP, that's what (s)he wants. | 09:12 |

| dns53 | possible1994 have you restarted your machine? i once crashed the bluetooth daemon and it would not work untill i restarted the machine | 09:42 |
| possible1994 | dns53, Yes, that actually is a reported bug | 09:43 |
| kalimojo | thanks mrkeuner | 09:43 |
| MrKeuner | welcome | 09:44 |
| scarleo_ | bouma, doesnt seem to exist in oneiric, it was in natty and seems to get in in Precise again, don't know why | 09:45 |
| MrKeuner | possible1994, try running /usr/bin/bluetooth-properties in a terminal and see if that creates a meaningful error message when pairing is rejected | 09:45 |
| scarleo_ | bouma, you can probably try to install either natty or precise version | 09:45 |
| scarleo_ | bouma, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kbibtex | 09:46 |
| possible1994 | MrKeuner, That's a nonexistent directory | 09:47 |
| MrKeuner | possible1994, ok, thats where it is on Lucid | 09:48 |
| bouma | scarleo_: what about https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+package/kbibtex | 09:49 |
| possible1994 | Is /usr/src/foo a directory containing source code files? | 09:50 |

| Galeo | Hi. *Beginner* I'm trying to run Tor Browser Bundle on Ubuntu 10.10, but it says I ain't able to connect to the tor network, while on the other side, I can run Tor alone and beeing "connected". | 09:58 |
| theadmin | artao: Yeah, just use LiLi USB Creator (from Windows) or usb-creator-gtk (from Ubuntu-like Linux) or Unetbootin (from any Linux, but it sometimes fails) | 09:58 |
| artao | i've been using Universal USB .. i assume that's ot a problem? | 09:58 |
| EderNauta | artao: The best tool for run image of linux its unetbootin | 09:59 |

| damo22 | what does ubuntu use for remote desktop sharing/ | 09:59 |
| theadmin | EderNauta: Unetbootin fails with most distributions except Ubuntu, so no, that's not the *best* tool for *linux* image | 09:59 |
| damo22 | what is the name of the program? | 09:59 |
| theadmin | damo22: Vinagre if I recall right | 09:59 |
| artao | k .. i've got unetbootin as well | 09:59 |
| artao | JUST figured out yesterday .. after MUCH experimentation! ... that only one or two of my usb ports is bootable ... heh | 10:00 |
| damo22 | no vinagre is not it | 10:00 |
| heisenmink | is there something like .bash_login but for the graphical session login/resume? | 10:00 |
| artao | thx | 10:00 |
| theadmin | heisenmink: Depends on your desktop environment really, for Openbox it's ~/.config/openbox/autostart, for KDE it's ~/.kde4/share/Autostart and I have no idea about gnome | 10:01 |
| artao | could you tell me what DM/WM ubuntu studio uses and how easy/hard it is to change it? | 10:01 |
| heisenmink | theadmin, I'm running gnome3/ubuntu11.10"oneiric ocelot" | 10:01 |
| artao | i tried regular ubuntu, but don't like gnome ... now downloading kubuntu and xubuntu | 10:02 |
| artao | but i REALLY like all the included progs in ubuntu studio | 10:02 |
| heisenmink | artao, It's very easy to change yourself | 10:02 |
| theadmin | artao: Ubuntu Studio uses gnome if I recall right | 10:02 |
| artao | k | 10:02 |
| artao | i couldn't find in standard ubuntu (running off dvd) where/how to change the DM/WM | 10:02 |
| theadmin | artao: You just need to install the one you need from APT and then change on the login screen -_- | 10:03 |
| artao | ahhh | 10:03 |
| artao | ic | 10:03 |
| artao | i thought maybe i needed to run a command line tool | 10:03 |
| dns53 | heisenmink try running gnome-session-properties | 10:04 |
| artao | ubuntu is the only distro i've tried so far that just worked | 10:04 |
| artao | :D | 10:04 |
| artao | BUT i'd prefer to be using E17, KDE, or xfce | 10:04 |
| possible1994 | Someone tell me how to troubleshoot a non-connecting bluetooth headset | 10:04 |
| EderNauta | artao: are you try KDE? | 10:04 |
| artao | i've tried debian/kde and linux mint kde | 10:05 |
| artao | debian ran faster .. mint was sluggish .. BUT i liked kde | 10:05 |
| EderNauta | nooo, try new kde | 10:05 |
| EderNauta | artao: try it kubuntu | 10:05 |
| heisenmink | dns53, isn't that for only bootup? or for all kinds of login? | 10:05 |
| artao | also had some difficulty getting dual-head display to work right | 10:05 |
| artao | ja, kubuntu now downloading along with xubuntu and elive | 10:06 |
| cristian_c | an other question: | 10:06 |
| artao | i got the dual screen working, but couldn't seem to change which monitor was the primary | 10:06 |
| artao | ubuntu got it right | 10:06 |
| EderNauta | my fauvorite desktop enviroment its KDE 4 | 10:06 |
| cristian_c | I'm using lubuntu 11.10 | 10:06 |
| dns53 | heisenmink that is for applications that start with gnome3, there is no generic way of starting applications you need to do it per desktop environment | 10:06 |
| cristian_c | I can not see the volume icon on the panel | 10:07 |
| heisenmink | dns53, my trackpad configuration is reset each time I restart my computer or go to sleep / wake or hibernate/waker | 10:07 |
| cristian_c | I added, but still can not see it | 10:07 |
| cristian_c | What can I do? | 10:07 |
| EderNauta | cristian_c: try to add a new... dont remember the name.... | 10:08 |
| cristian_c | EderNauta, I've done this :( | 10:09 |
| EderNauta | cristian_c: clic on bar and try to add a item | 10:09 |
| VictorCL | how can I check what services I can use with init.d ? | 10:09 |
| cristian_c | EderNauta, anyone? | 10:09 |
| dns53 | heisenmink what do you do to fix it? run a script? a gui program? | 10:09 |
| EderNauta | cristian_c: in the menu bar, the pannel, clic left mouse button and add a item, search the audio icon | 10:10 |
| EderNauta | cristian_c: or you use gnome 3? | 10:10 |
| heisenmink | dns53, I have a script with "synclient x=y k=z" lines | 10:10 |
| cristian_c | EderNauta, I've done :( | 10:10 |
| cristian_c | EderNauta, no | 10:11 |

| artao | it's been 6 - 8 yrs since i last maintained a linux box ... SOOO .. IIRC the DM/WM can be set per user, yes? | 10:12 |
| Myrtti | cristian_c: you could ask in #lubuntu? | 10:12 |
| llutz | artao: WM yes, DM no | 10:12 |
| artao | so i can have multiple users with different DM/WM so I can test performance under each,yes? | 10:12 |
| artao | ?? | 10:12 |
| cristian_c | Myrtty, I'll try | 10:13 |
| artao | please elaborate | 10:13 |
| llutz | artao: a user can set his WM, but not the DM | 10:13 |
| artao | so if i set E17, every user has it? or is E17 a WM nowadays? | 10:13 |
| artao | same question re: xfce | 10:13 |
| llutz | artao: its a WM | 10:13 |
| artao | k | 10:13 |
| eXpander | How to check the current volume in terminal? I know one can use "amixer", but is there any similiarar to pavucontrol but for terminal? | 10:14 |

| eXpander | theadmin, no, alsamixer, I want a pulseaudio mixer in terminal | 10:14 |
| artao | AHHH | 10:14 |
| theadmin | artao: DMs are login screens. DEs are window managers AND a set of some application. | 10:14 |
| artao | i guess so LOLZ | 10:15 |
| Yusuke | sigh i have even updated my system , im running on 11.04 , and yet the error still the same http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/827466/ , in my lame Windows XP i dont even need to upgrade anything | 10:15 |
| theadmin | artao: And a window manager is just the thing which draws the window borders | 10:15 |
| eXpander | does "pactl" show the current volume in %? | 10:15 |
| artao | .. and decorations and gadgets etc. yes? | 10:15 |

| theadmin | artao: Desktop environments. Such as Gnome, KDE, etc | 10:17 |
| artao | E17 and kde incude them | 10:17 |
| artao | aha | 10:17 |
| theadmin | artao: E17 is more of a desktop environment than a window manager nowadays :D | 10:17 |
| artao | k | 10:17 |
| theadmin | Yusuke: You don't have to repeat often, when someone knows someone helps | 10:17 |
| artao | i had a BIG problem fighting with E17 to use my dual-displays | 10:17 |
| theadmin | artao: Try using lxrandr | 10:18 |
| artao | i looked online and found that it seems E17 indeed has some issues in that area | 10:18 |
| artao | any advice? | 10:18 |
| theadmin | artao: lxrandr, it's a tool for easy monitor configuration, universal pretty much | 10:18 |
| artao | k .. i found something call grandr, but that didn't help a whole lot | 10:18 |
| artao | noted | 10:18 |

| Culiforge | ServerSage: on a beginning level I am | 10:26 |
| Culiforge | ServerSage: so I guess mostly no | 10:26 |
| theadmin | ServerSage: Are you trying to boot into the no-X mode? Append "text" to your kernel line. | 10:27 |
| ServerSage | theadmin: No, I was going to suggest getting rid of splash to see where it was hanging. | 10:27 |
| rodhash | Hi.. anyone? | 10:28 |
| theadmin | ServerSage: Oh, uh, just press Escape during boot. Or append "noquiet nosplash" to the line. | 10:28 |

| Culiforge | ServerSage: Ok, what I saw was "cannot write .pid file /dev/initramfs.d/plymouth.pid | 10:36 |

| damo22 | serversage: basically its raid5 with 5 disks, 1 failed badly and the spare didnt get a chance to resync fully | 10:37 |
| KayGridley | anyone know why on a reboot I'd lose all the ip settings on a 10.04 server? | 10:37 |
| ServerSage | rodhash: I found a few things talking about xorg bugs and upgrading mesa. :/ Not sure that will help you though. | 10:37 |
| damo22 | i want to force the loading of disk5 into the final position and get it to fire up | 10:37 |
| damo22 | without a spare | 10:37 |
| dns53 | damo22 so you have not lost data but you do not have enough disks to satisfy the redundency? | 10:38 |
| ServerSage | damo22: So you have a RAID5, 5 disks total but one is dead and you want to pull the spare in? | 10:38 |
| damo22 | dns53: yes | 10:38 |
| dns53 | have you put in a spare disk? | 10:39 |
| cowpatty | cowpatty | 10:39 |
| damo22 | dns53: no i have hot removed the faulty disk | 10:39 |
| cowpatty | format a usb drive with FAT32 file system | 10:39 |
| damo22 | and i want to load the spare without replacing the spare | 10:39 |
| rodhash | ServerSage, hmm ... besides xorg is getting those erros my ubuntu is working fine, but I'd like to fix that.... but I didn't figure out how.. | 10:39 |
| damo22 | s/second spare/faulty | 10:39 |

| pfSenseLogs | is there a way to check which IP modified a file in a shared folder? | 10:40 |
| damo22 | can i create a dummy loopback device and insert it as the new spare? | 10:40 |
| ServerSage | rodhash: I don't run a GUI at all on my linux boxes, so it's a bit outside my realm of experience. Is your box up to date? | 10:40 |
| dns53 | damo22 you need to rescan the disks (i'm not sure how to do this without rebooting), mark the new disk for raid, then add the disk to the existing raid array | 10:40 |
| KayGridley | ServerSage: thanks, just realised I'm a) a complete idiot and b) have been reading that but using the temp settings | 10:40 |
| KayGridley | will now go and hang head in shame | 10:41 |
| dns53 | damo22 it will then automatically rebuild the array to the new disk | 10:41 |
| ServerSage | KayGridley: Hehe, we have all been there. Simply apply head to desk several times, always helps. | 10:41 |
| KayGridley | ServerSage: believe me already doing that! It has been a morning, turns out me/our tech guy forgot to put the air con back on in the server room yesterday morning | 10:42 |
| KayGridley | losing an ip address being a minor issue after fixing that one :) | 10:42 |
| ServerSage | KayGridley: Let me guess, turned it off because you were freezing standing in there working at console? :) | 10:42 |
| damo22 | dns53: http://pastebin.com/pDpyJdtD | 10:43 |
| KayGridley | ServerSage: nope, turned it off coz my boss was freezing standing there watching me work :) | 10:43 |
| damo22 | i got it to insert the spare /dev/sdf1 as position 4 but it says clean, degraded | 10:43 |
| ServerSage | KayGridley: At least you can blame the boss. :) | 10:43 |
| pfSenseLogs | is there a way to check which IP modified a file in a shared folder? | 10:43 |
| KayGridley | could have sworn we'd put it back on but the remote is a bit dodgy so I suspect I forgot to double check it had actually worked | 10:43 |
| ServerSage | pfSenseLogs: You can look in the logs in /var/log. | 10:44 |
| ServerSage | pfSenseLogs: NFS or Samba? | 10:44 |
| pfSenseLogs | samba | 10:44 |
| ServerSage | pfSenseLogs: Yup, depending on your smb.conf file you should have logs in /var/log/samba/ | 10:44 |
| Monkeypaws | im tryin to input a mjpeg http stream from an ip camera and output to something apache can stream. Is VLC what i need or is there a better way? | 10:45 |
| pfSenseLogs | what makes a difference in smb.conf? | 10:45 |
| ServerSage | pfSenseLogs: You can set log level, your log file, what shares are logged, etc... | 10:46 |
| pfSenseLogs | if nothing is set | 10:46 |
| dns53 | damo22 so it does not know about the new disk, there is something you needed to run to mark the disk for raid and add it to the degraded array, let me google it | 10:46 |
| pfSenseLogs | nothgin is done? | 10:46 |
| pfSenseLogs | or logging is done by default | 10:46 |
| pfSenseLogs | ? | 10:46 |
| ServerSage | pfSenseLogs: I'm not sure what the default is. You'll have to look. | 10:46 |
| pfSenseLogs | ok | 10:46 |
| damo22 | dns53: do you think its a good idea to add the faulty disk as a spare, it has a lot of direct I/O buffer read sector errors | 10:48 |
| dns53 | damo22 it should be something like: mdadm --manage /dev/md3 --add /dev/sdf1 | 10:48 |
| dns53 | damo22 probably not, but you can, you just need to wipe the partition table | 10:48 |
| ServerSage | Monkeypaws: You're asking that question in kind of the wrong channel. | 10:49 |
| dns53 | damo22 mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdf1 | 10:49 |
| damo22 | really? on sdf1? whys that | 10:49 |
| obounaim | I have difficult time viewing the ubuntu developer week logs i need to scroll left and write to read and the scroll bar is at the end of the log | 10:49 |
| dns53 | damo22 that was the disk you added? | 10:51 |

| damo22 | dns53: so with 3/5 disks intact and the 4th one on its way out, if i add a 5th disk will it recover? | 10:54 |
| ServerSage | tellone: Don't think ubottu-the-great understand path. | 10:54 |

| damo22 | dns53: i dont think it wrote anything to the disk | 10:55 |
| tellone | is there a max-value for path length? | 10:55 |
| damo22 | dns53: since it was part of the array | 10:56 |
| dns53 | damo22 so /proc/mdstats still shows that it is a clean but degraded array? | 10:56 |
| DJones | sudo apt-get install bitlbee | 10:56 |

| damo22 | dns53: for some reason it thinks /dev/sdf1 is in position 6 (spare), but mdadm --detail shows position 4 | 10:59 |
| damo22 | dns53: its because i hacked it in /sys/block/md3/md/dev-sdf1/ | 11:00 |
| damo22 | i forced it to slot 4 | 11:00 |

| ServerSage | dmtarmey_: That might be better asked in #vbox. Is the linux host seeing the USB sticks? | 11:05 |
| dmtarmey_ | ServerSage iv tried no one seems to be there | 11:05 |
| dmtarmey_ | It dosnt seem like the linux is seeing the USN stick | 11:06 |
| ServerSage | dmtarmey_: It's more active in a few hours. | 11:06 |
| dns53 | damo22 could you restart the machine? | 11:06 |
| dmtarmey_ | ServerSage cheers | 11:06 |
| ServerSage | dmtarmey_: If you plug in the USB stick and run dmesg do you see anything about it? | 11:06 |
| damo22 | dns53: no because its not my machine i am vncd into it | 11:07 |
| kalimojo | are there keystroke loggers for ubuntu ? | 11:07 |

| kalimojo | ? | 11:08 |
| ServerSage | kalimojo: Oops, hit enter too quick. Yes there are. Take a look at lkl. | 11:09 |
| dns53 | damo22 ok, so could you try failing the replaced disk? mdadm --manage /dev/md3 --fail /dev/sdf1 | 11:09 |
| meetaw | plot() does not work in scilab with ubuntu 11.10. Any fix ? | 11:09 |
| damo22 | dns53: the faulty disk has been removed from the array already | 11:09 |
| damo22 | dns53: it was /dev/sdc1 | 11:10 |
| dns53 | damo22 but you put it back? | 11:10 |
| damo22 | dns53: no i used the spare /dev/sdf1 and forced it into slot 4 | 11:10 |
| ServerSage | meetaw: First off, we heard the first time. Second, what is it doing? "Doesn't work" isn't really much to go on. | 11:10 |

| meetaw | Yeah I looked at that that thread. Unfortunately the solution breaks gnome-shell and unity | 11:15 |
| dns53 | damo22 so there are 4 disks in the array out of 5? so what is the problem? | 11:16 |
| Kartagis | hi | 11:16 |
| damo22 | dns53: it says clean, degraded | 11:16 |
| ServerSage | meetaw: Did you try the suggestion near the bottom made by R. Riviere? | 11:16 |
| damo22 | dns53: and doesnt seem to mount | 11:16 |
| Kartagis | I can't get mu sound applet anymore. help me? | 11:16 |
| ServerSage | meetaw: I can't see who that would break gnome-shell or unity. | 11:16 |
| meetaw | Yeah. It doesn't seem to work. | 11:17 |
| dns53 | damo22 it will, it has all the data on disk so it is "clean" but does not have the redundancy, so it is "degraded", you should be able to use it in a degraded state | 11:17 |
| meetaw | It breaks because gnome-shell and unity need libgl1-mesa-glx to work. Removing it breaks them | 11:17 |
| ServerSage | meetaw: You'll probably have better luck asking scilab folks. | 11:18 |
| damo22 | dns53: but /proc/mdstat says sdf1[6] which means it still thinks its the spare | 11:18 |
| damo22 | dns53: i need it to say sdf1[1] | 11:19 |

| user82 | Hi! maybe a beginner question: but where does the output go when i press a magic sysrq key? | 11:24 |
| iceroot | user82: directly to tty | 11:25 |
| meetaw | ServerSage: thanks | 11:26 |
| meetaw | Apparently | 11:26 |
| meetaw | I was using the 32 bit library | 11:26 |
| meetaw | Silly me | 11:27 |
| dns53 | damo22 i'm still not sure why you cannot use the array, it should be active | 11:27 |
| user82 | iceroot, can i show it in the gnome terminal or only via ctrl+alt+1 (i assume 1 is tty)? | 11:28 |
| iceroot | user82: maybe syslog is also holding it | 11:28 |
| iceroot | user82: also see #bash maybe they know how to put that in your terminal instead of tty1 | 11:28 |
| ikonia | you won't be able to put it into the gnome terminal | 11:29 |
| user82 | okay thanks iceroot | 11:29 |
| ikonia | as magic sysrq sends a break to the kernel, which can only output to the default tty as X11/gnome is a process running on top of it | 11:29 |
| ikonia | magic sysrq will hang your system and interup all processes, so you can't send it to the desktop based terminals | 11:29 |
| user82 | ikonia, where do i see tty? ctrl+alt+f1 sends me to tty1 | 11:30 |
| ikonia | user82: what are you trying to do and why ? | 11:30 |
| kalimojo | what is a good server/channel for general chat ? | 11:30 |

| user82 | dont ask me why...^^ | 11:31 |

| bullgard4 | Themenace: Launchpad states the status of a bug in each report. | 11:43 |
| dns53 | Themenace xrdp is not really a server, it acts more like a proxy between rdp and vnc so you need some setup to get it working | 11:44 |
| dns53 | Themenace you will need to start a vnc session and then set up xrdp to allow you to remotely login to the session | 11:45 |
| Themenace | dns53: Ok, thanks for the tip.. I have xrdp and is able to log in but the only thing that appears is my wallpapaer.. | 11:46 |
| Themenace | wallpaper* | 11:46 |
| Themenace | and yeah, perhaps I could get it to work with some configurations .. but when I had 11.04 it worked "as it should" | 11:46 |
| Themenace | And I just want to be able to rdp to my office computer without the hazzle of special configurations and so on :) | 11:47 |

| Themenace | sorry for my spelling | 11:48 |
| dns53 | Themenace you can get it working, i have read some documentation but i have not had time myself | 11:48 |
| dns53 | Themenace just use vnc +ssh for the moment, that is easier to get working | 11:49 |

| chroot | reisio, are you still there? | 13:00 |
| reisio | yup | 13:00 |
| chroot | i checked out the link you give me | 13:00 |
| reisio | mmhmm | 13:00 |
| chroot | en and my apt/archives is only 283 M | 13:00 |
| chroot | that is not big | 13:00 |
| reisio | twss | 13:01 |
| reisio | chroot: it's just a convenient place to start | 13:01 |
| reisio | you should remove more than 283MB if your system is full | 13:01 |
| chroot | oh, and i scaned my file system, it said that i have used %84 | 13:01 |
| chroot | is that full? | 13:01 |
| reisio | well no, it's 84 out of a hundred | 13:02 |
| chroot | and my hard disk is 500 Gb | 13:02 |
| reisio | check with df -i, though | 13:02 |
| chroot | reisio, well, i there are still a lot of nodes i can use . | 13:04 |
| direktor | a | 13:05 |
| reisio | chroot: okay, so it's probably not space, then | 13:05 |
| chroot | then what, | 13:05 |
| chroot | is it the file manager problem? | 13:05 |
| reisio | that's one possibility | 13:06 |
| chroot | then, i should reinstall the nautilus ? | 13:06 |
| kralle | someone please help me ? | 13:06 |
| chroot | that is right? | 13:06 |
| kralle | i cant start dnsmasq it says port 53 is in use | 13:06 |
| kralle | what a bounch of idiots .. | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | chroot: i suggest you uninsall old unused kernels. It can help free lots of space | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | kralle: who are these idiots? | 13:11 |
| kralle | not here wrong query | 13:11 |
| kralle | anyway can someone help me 1 miute | 13:11 |
| kralle | minute? | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kralle: sure | 13:12 |
| chroot | well, ActionParsnip , but when you turn on your computer, there is only one kernel you are using, so it should mean that the ram and cpu will only used by that kernel. | 13:12 |
| kralle | i have startet a hotspot in ubuntu | 13:12 |
| kralle | but then ican not start dnsmasq | 13:12 |
| kralle | :( | 13:12 |
| kralle | can you help me out | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | chroot: I thought it was a drive space issue, not RAM.D'oh | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kralle: dnsmasq is a service, not an icon | 13:12 |
| kralle | yes lol | 13:13 |
| === joelio is now known as joel | ||
| kralle | i know i need to run it but get the error port 53 is in use | 13:13 |
| kralle | if i stiop the hotspot service it starts | 13:13 |
| LjL | kralle: then you probably have some other service doing DNS on your system? | 13:13 |
| kralle | but i need both | 13:13 |
| chroot | ActionParsnip, i do have 3 kernel in my system, but i checked that these kernel only take me 73 Mb | 13:13 |
| foo | what's the default fsck to check a drive? eg. the regular maintenance one? I forget the parameters. Thanks! I need to check a drive, I'm seeing this: EXT3-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended | 13:13 |
| === joel is now known as Guest90371 | ||
| LjL | kralle: tell the hotspot service to not serve DNS | 13:13 |
| kralle | how | 13:13 |
| kralle | :) | 13:13 |
| === Guest90371 is now known as Joelio | ||
| kralle | is the built in service in ubuntu | 13:14 |
| kralle | i just choice use as hotspot | 13:14 |
| kralle | so how could i run both services | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | chroot: each is about 120Mb on the disk | 13:14 |
| LjL | kralle: i've never used Ubuntu's hotspot service (didn't even know about it), but let me see. | 13:14 |
| kralle | great :) | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | kralle: dnsmasq is not a default installed service | 13:15 |
| chroot | ActionParsnip, i check the kernel in /boot directory, am i done right? | 13:15 |
| chroot | and also, how can i uninstall the old kernel | 13:15 |
| kralle | yes i know ActionParsnip | 13:15 |
| kralle | but i need it .. so can i tell somehow to use both | 13:15 |
| kralle | this hotspot feature and dnsmasq | 13:16 |
| reisio | kralle: maybe check dpkg -L dnsmasq for a config file? | 13:16 |
| kralle | i did | 13:17 |
| kralle | but no port config | 13:17 |
| kralle | avalibale | 13:17 |
| kralle | or it there a alternative hotspot software ? | 13:17 |
| LjL | kralle: well you wouldn't want to change dnsmasq's port anyway | 13:17 |
| LjL | kralle: yes there is chillispot | 13:17 |
| kralle | is it in the software center ? | 13:18 |
| chroot | help, i want to back up me system, what directory should i back up? | 13:18 |
| LjL | kralle: well i'm not sure how to help you, because on this machine i don't have a wifi card so i cannot even try the hotspot things, and other machines have too old versions of Ubuntu to have the hotspot feature... | 13:18 |

| sauevaem | that's* | 13:25 |
| bazhang | sauevaem, what do you mean? mplayer can play them fine | 13:25 |

| scarleo | chroot, personally I use DejaDup that comes with ubuntu default | 13:25 |
| chroot | oh, that is a graphical tool | 13:26 |
| scarleo | chroot, well the time will depend on how much you are backing up :) | 13:26 |
| chroot | scarleo, i know that tool, and it will work with ubuntu one | 13:26 |
| chroot | ubuntu cloud | 13:26 |
| scarleo | chroot, DejaDup will be faster next time since it will only look for changes, plus you get the "Resture File" functionality | 13:27 |

| chroot | if not, where are you backup your file s? | 13:28 |
| chroot | and are you only backup your home directory? | 13:29 |
| scarleo | chroot, you can choose where to put them, also in U1 folder, my files are on my server. It's good to have them on another HD so if you got an exter HD that could be an option | 13:29 |

| chroot | and scarleo , are you backup all the files in your system? | 13:31 |
| chroot | my system is very slow now, i can't fix it, so i want to reinstall a new system, but i think it is not good to fix problems with reinstall! | 13:32 |
| fidel | chroot: then fix it ;) | 13:33 |

| reisio | sauevaem: ffmpeg -version ? | 13:35 |
| sauevaem | I'm reading this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1863030 but no one there really explained what to do | 13:35 |
| chroot | scarleo, and you didnt' backup your / directory? if there is something wrong, we can use backup to restore our system? | 13:35 |
| chroot | am i right? | 13:35 |

| chroot | yes, scarleo , i think you are right, if there is something wrong, it always in /etc | 13:39 |

| Chotaz_ | How do you defragmentations on Ubuntu? Also, can I do them while the disks are being used? | 14:12 |
| LjL | Chotaz_: short answer: you can't do it with ext4. but the next Ubuntu version is supposed to have a defrag tool for it (no promises). | 14:12 |
| iceroot | Chotaz_: not needed | 14:12 |
| iceroot | iwantu2brich: java -jar mineshafter.jar | 14:13 |
| iwantu2brich | yes iceroot but it not works | 14:13 |
| iceroot | kralle: to what? | 14:13 |
| Chotaz_ | iceroot: I have an external HDD that is literally dieing, WAY TOO slow transfer rates for this disk, ive changed the sata2usb interface inside the casing, didnt affect a thing | 14:13 |

| iwantu2brich | maybe its problem in executable | 14:13 |
| iceroot | Chotaz_: usb is the problem, not fragmentation | 14:14 |
| iceroot | Chotaz_: usb will use the cpu full | 14:14 |
| === FatPig is now known as Fat_Pig | ||
| Chotaz_ | iceroot: still there's a transfer rate that is too slow for what this disk used to do | 14:14 |
| iceroot | Chotaz_: usb is the problem, not the disk | 14:14 |
| iceroot | Chotaz_: look at "top" and specially the %wa value | 14:15 |

| iceroot | kralle: you have a machine and want a domain e.g. foobar.com to point to your ubuntu machine? | 14:18 |
| Slart | kralle: forwarding a domain name to a certain computer is something you'll have to do from the people that handle the domain.. it's not something you do locally on your computer | 14:18 |
| kralle | is local only | 14:18 |
| kralle | not more | 14:18 |
| iceroot | kralle: put that in /etc/hosts | 14:18 |

| iceroot | kralle: i posted you an example twice | 14:23 |
| iceroot | kralle: foobar.com foobar2.com | 14:23 |

| kralle | i am in the file | 14:25 |
| krazed | I figured out the problem with nVidia Optimus support and linux, if anyone's interested in reading my solution feel free! :-) http://kraz3d.wordpress.com/ | 14:25 |
| kralle | but how to set it up right way :) | 14:25 |
| iceroot | kralle: just put the line "foobar.com foobar2.com" on it | 14:25 |
| elune | mm. | 14:25 |
| iceroot | kralle: and of course replace the names | 14:25 |
| Slart | Chotaz_: there are tools that can tell you if things are badly fragmented but no tools to fix it.. except moving files back and forth (or moving files between drives to free up space | 14:25 |
| kralle | then restart network fightn? | 14:26 |
| iceroot | elune: you want to share internet connection? | 14:26 |

| iceroot | kralle: of course replace "bildungsfernsehen" with rtl.de | 14:31 |
| kralle | lol :p | 14:31 |
| kasii | iwantu2brich, isnt debian matter discussing here | 14:31 |
| kralle | iceroot same :( | 14:32 |
| kasii | iwantu2brich, go debian irc | 14:32 |
| iceroot | kralle: "ping -c 4 rtl.de" | 14:32 |
| kralle | i get the local host ip | 14:32 |
| iceroot | kralle: so its working | 14:33 |
| kralle | but the explorer give me still the wrong one | 14:33 |
| iceroot | kralle: restart the browser | 14:33 |
| iceroot | kralle: maybe its still cached there | 14:33 |
| kralle | i did iceroot | 14:33 |
| kralle | :/ | 14:33 |
| iceroot | kralle: ctrl + f5 in the browser | 14:33 |
| jnsl | anyone know how to change the damn activites button in gnome 3.2 into an ubuntu icon ? | 14:33 |
| kralle | yes iceroot i did :) | 14:33 |
| kralle | but still same :p | 14:34 |
| iceroot | kralle: firefox? | 14:34 |
| kralle | yes | 14:34 |
| Meaw | hi , wireless is not scanning networks anymore.. i thought its a hardware problem but it works fine in windows.. any suggestions? | 14:34 |
| iceroot | kralle: rtl.de not www.rtl.de? | 14:34 |
| Manny | hello :) | 14:34 |
| arkiver | I am having trouble creating an ad-hoc wifi hotspot after upgrading to 11.10 and using GNOME3. What is the problem? is it a bug ? | 14:34 |
| === tdgunes is now known as tdgunes|away | ||
| arkiver | can anyone help ? | 14:34 |
| Meaw | last thing i did was " pppoeconfig " but everything seem to be fine in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:34 |
| kralle | yes | 14:34 |
| ubukou | hey folks!where did unity hide all the options ? just installed it and i gotta say its a lot more minimal than i expected! :P | 14:34 |
| kralle | not www | 14:35 |
| kralle | iceroot not wew | 14:35 |
| kralle | only rtl | 14:35 |
| Meaw | ew, looks like im lagged | 14:35 |
| krazed | So, I just downloaded the driver for the GT540M video card, now I've got a file 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.07.run'... how do I execute this file? | 14:35 |
| iceroot | kralle: seems like firefox is still caching the dns record, dont know how to tell firefox to reread it | 14:35 |
| Manny | I wonder whether ubuntu offers any way to install custom kernel modules in a separate location, but have it picked up by. For example, some packages install into /lib/modules/XXX/updates/dkms. Can I also install into a similar location, like /lib/modules/XXX/updates/user? | 14:35 |
| iceroot | kralle: you did not set qa proxy for firefox? | 14:35 |
| kralle | no | 14:36 |
| iceroot | kralle: because if you have a proxy firefox will not ask your /etc/hosts but the proxy | 14:36 |
| kralle | iceroot i would like to use dnsmasq but then i can not start the built in hotspot in ubuntu | 14:36 |
| Manny | oh wait...actually the package I am looking for seems to be available as dkms package xD | 14:37 |
| Meaw | Any idea why wireless is not scanning networks? it was working fine yesterday night | 14:37 |
| === kasii is now known as oneiric_oncelot | ||
| krazed | How can I exit the X interface completely and get to a terminal interface? | 14:37 |
| kralle | iceroot about dnsmasq | 14:37 |
| WLU | wireless network manager in gnome applet no longer has deactivate wireless capabilities. I have a wired line sometimes and I want to deactivate wireless when the wired connection is on | 14:38 |

| Meaw | ^^ | 14:38 |
| patrick__ | my dad and i are new to unbuntu is there ant good antivirus good for it | 14:39 |
| rodhash | Guys .. | 14:39 |
| rodhash | I've just made some upgrades (aptitude upgrade), is that possible to restart / recycle the processes to avoid a reboot ??? | 14:39 |
| patrick__ | any sorry typo | 14:39 |
| anonymous666 | hi | 14:39 |
| patrick__ | hey anonymous666 | 14:39 |
| oCean | !av | patrick__ | 14:39 |
| ubottu | patrick__: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 14:39 |
| anonymous666 | ubuntu or debian 6? what is your opinion? | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rodhash: sudo apt-get -f install maybe | 14:39 |
| oCean | anonymous666: don't use this channel for polls, thank you | 14:39 |
| anonymous666 | ok | 14:40 |
| anonymous666 | sorry | 14:40 |
| patrick__ | thank you | 14:40 |
| Meaw | guys, wireless is not working on ubuntu desktop it was working fine last night | 14:40 |
| rodhash | ActionParsnip, I've tried and there's nothing wrong... my point is, there's a request to reboot in the bottom panel.... can I recycle the ubuntu processes and avoid a system restart ?? | 14:40 |
| anonymous666 | can i to make a question? | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | rodhash: you basically have installed a new kernel and need a reboot to start in the new kernel. It's not necessary | 14:41 |
| andymc73test | \quit | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | anonymous666: shoot | 14:41 |
| Meaw | am i ignored or lagged or whatever | 14:41 |
| rodhash | ActionParsnip, Yes, there's a new kernel in the updates... but I'm already using version 3.0.4... So can I just ignore that reboot request ?? | 14:42 |
| anonymous666 | my mum have a lot of many, i have a pc (not laptop) 8 years, is very very very bad, and my mum say that while the pc is ok, she dont buy a new pc, how can i crash the pc but my mum thinks that the pc crash because the pc is very old? | 14:42 |
| kralle | iceroot , i use he machine as hotspot so i access it from a different pc using wifi , but it not works | 14:42 |
| iceroot | kralle: ah | 14:43 |
| anonymous666 | money* | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | rodhash: absolutely, its not essential. When you next boot, the newer kernel will boot | 14:43 |
| iceroot | kralle: you have to change the /etc/hosts in the client | 14:43 |
| kralle | can you helo me about this :) | 14:43 |
| iceroot | kralle: of course not on the "server" | 14:43 |
| oCean | anonymous666: this channel is for ubuntu tech support questions only | 14:43 |
| rodhash | ActionParsnip, thank you! | 14:43 |
| kralle | so how i can set this up iceroot :) | 14:43 |
| anonymous666 | what is the channel for it? | 14:43 |
| iceroot | kralle: on the server? | 14:43 |
| kralle | this is why i would use dnsmasq but then the hotsport not start | 14:43 |
| iceroot | kralle: i would thing you have to put up a own dns server and patch that entry | 14:44 |
| Meaw | hi | 14:44 |
| kralle | i use the ubuntu as hotspot , but if i start dnsmaqs it says port 53 is busy | 14:44 |
| kralle | if i stop the hotspot it starts | 14:44 |
| iceroot | kralle: because another dns is already running | 14:44 |
| kralle | yes so this is what i ask how to change it | 14:45 |
| iceroot | kralle: stop the other dns | 14:45 |
| loganrun | the menu's on adobe reader just show grey for some reason | 14:45 |
| kralle | without using a new dns serer | 14:45 |
| iceroot | kralle: if i am correct its called bind9 | 14:45 |
| kralle | but then the hotspot stops | 14:45 |
| loganrun | does anyone else have this issue | 14:45 |
| cannonball | When I start a terminal (gnome-terminal or terminator), it appears in the middle of the screen. If I start another one, it appears in the top left corner. A third one and it appears in the top left corner over the second one. A fourth one is over the third one. Etc. | 14:45 |
| kralle | or can i set this up in the built in hotspot in ubuntu | 14:45 |
| kralle | to forward this | 14:45 |
| cannonball | Is there any way to tell it to appear in the part of the screen that's open? | 14:45 |
| kralle | . | 14:45 |
| Meaw | GUYS, my wireless is not scanning, it was working fine yesterday, and last thing i did in network i setup pppoeconfig... but wireless is not working now any suggestions? | 14:46 |
| cannonball | It used to do that in the past, but I can't find the correct config or setting to tweak in order to get that behavior back. Running Unbuntu Classic Gnome desktop. | 14:46 |
| patrick__ | how do i look for channels to talk in | 14:47 |
| loganrun | does anyone else have this issue, the menus in adobe reader are blank, it is as if the words in them are the same color as the menu's and therefore invisable | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Meaw: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you find APs? | 14:47 |
| oCean | !alis | patrick__ | 14:47 |
| ubottu | patrick__: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 14:47 |
| loganrun | patrick__, one or two dice | 14:47 |
| myndzi | i'm getting 'could not calculate the upgrade' trying to go from 11.10 to 12.04. it's a fairly stock install, just did it a couple days ago. any idea if there's a simple workaround? | 14:47 |
| jiltdil | Best mp3 player in ubuntu that gives sound quality? | 14:47 |
| patrick__ | !alis | 14:47 |
| Meaw | ActionParsnip, actually that was giving me some error, and in network management it says my wireless Inactive | 14:48 |
| cannonball | Meaw: Make sure that you didn't turn off your wireless hardware with the physical switch that's on your laptop. It can happen on accident occassionally. | 14:48 |
| patrick__ | !alis | 14:48 |
| Meaw | cannonball, no , its ON i got that in syslogs... | 14:48 |
| Meaw | last thing i did in network was setting up pppoeconfig | 14:48 |
| cannonball | Meaw: Do the sudo command that ActionParsnip posted. | 14:48 |
| Meaw | I also checked /etc/network/interfaces everything seem to be fine | 14:48 |
| loganrun | does anyone else have an issue with the menu's in adobe reader? | 14:48 |
| Meaw | cannonball, ok i must reboot to switch to ubuntu any other idea i must try before i get back on windows to ask? | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Meaw: did you specify the wireless address in /etc/network/interfaces file? | 14:49 |
| mman | does anybody know a gui maker for php? something like qt? I tried to install php-qt but i was not successful | 14:49 |
| cannonball | That's also another proof that your wireless is not turned off if it works in Windows :-) | 14:49 |
| patrick__ | im so use to windows irc | 14:50 |
| Meaw | ActionParsnip, nop.. there is ifup wlan0 line by default | 14:50 |
| Meaw | i did not touch it | 14:50 |
| ubukou | how do i get the system tray again in ubuntu unity ? | 14:50 |
| qci133 | quit | 14:50 |
| cannonball | Meaw: Chances are that you are using Network Manager, so you'll want to adjust things in there to make sure that it's working. | 14:50 |
| loganrun | is there a way to change the colors of the theme in ubuntu | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Meaw: my file doesn't have a wlan up, only the defs for lo | 14:51 |
| loganrun | tried system settings | appearance but it looks like that is just the background | 14:51 |
| cannonball | patrick__: Which irc client are you using? | 14:51 |
| Meaw | ActionParsnip, im on ubuntu desktop fresh system, i guess that line came by default | 14:51 |
| theadmin | ubukou: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']" | 14:51 |
| slipttees | hu all | 14:51 |

| xorred | ps aux | grep apache is giving me a hell of an output | 14:52 |

| cannonball | xorred: Try this: ps aux | head -n 1; ps aux | grep a[p]ache | 14:53 |
| cannonball | xorred: The output of that should make a little more sense to you, and answer your question at the same time. | 14:53 |

| gribouille | I have just lebelled a file system with e2label. what is the command to make it appear in /media? | 14:58 |

| slipttees | e2fsck /dev/sda3 => Could this be a zero-length partition. please help :( | 14:59 |
| slipttees | i cant mount this partition. | 14:59 |

| ubukou | theadmin, ActionParsnip is it too late to go back to 9.10 ? hahha | 15:02 |
| loganrun | does anyone know how to delete an item from the shortcuts ? | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | gribouille: if the partition is on a drive inside your system, it's an internal partition | 15:02 |
| Eduard | Hello everyone | 15:02 |
| theadmin | ubukou: Yes it is, it's no longer supported. Try Xubuntu, it feels the same as gnome2 really | 15:02 |
| obounaim | iceroot: where can i find the bur report? | 15:03 |
| mdiazc | hi, i have ubuntu 11.10, unable to mount external drives | 15:03 |

| ActionParsnip | wine is supported here | 15:08 |
| mneptok | for certain definitions of "supported" | 15:09 |

| Eduard | ActionParnship: there was /etc/boot.lst or smth similar, need to add nomodeset to kernel boot parameter list | 15:27 |
| Eduard | because my mouse cursor refuses to show up | 15:27 |
| theadmin | raj: Add them to the admin group (sudo usermod -aG admin username) | 15:27 |
| Eduard | it's invisible | 15:27 |
| urlin2u | raj, in th users where yo add users there is an admin option . | 15:27 |
| urlin2u | the | 15:27 |
| mdiazc | ActionParsnip: i cant even open that | 15:28 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: it looks like apt-get has a direct purge option (apt-get purge foo) now, i seem to remember like you requiring the remove and --purge, doesn't seem required anymore | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: gotcha, habit I guess | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | mdiazc: press CTRL+ALT+T and you can run the command | 15:29 |
| raj | urlin2u, debian is different? | 15:29 |
| raj | in debian I just add them to the sudo group | 15:29 |
| urlin2u | raj, this is ubuntu support if your using debian your on the wrong channel. | 15:29 |
| zykotick9 | raj: debian uses sudo, ubuntu uses admin | 15:30 |

| urlin2u | theadmin, I like it. lol. :) | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | raj: ubuntu uses sudo, which is what the admin group gives | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | raj: you are also using a 3rd party kernel, which also isn't supported here | 15:41 |
| ActionParsnip | http://www.linode.com/kernels/ | 15:42 |
| gulzar | Please have a look at this http://www.pcurtis.com/ubuntu-music.htm see section "Setting up the sound system for audacity" It is showing a GUI. which is that app? and here also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alsa_v1.0.14_ubuntu7.1_en.png . Which is this GUI? Name please. And a link will be good. | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | look familiar...? | 15:42 |
| mneptok | raj: the most recent released kernel on 11.10 is 3.0-15 and you're running 3.0-18 | 15:42 |

| dr34mc0d3r | can i use wall to pass a msg to a specific user? | 15:42 |
| theadmin | I dunno if we support those | 15:42 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: its not the official kernel for the release, so no | 15:43 |
| urlin2u | raj, I guess if you have no desktop my image was no help, it is the unity desktop, 11.10 | 15:43 |
| mneptok | raj: contact Linode support for help with your issues. what you are running is so far out of Ubuntu spec that we cannot reliably provide support for it. | 15:43 |

| ActionParsnip | !info foremost | slipttees | 16:04 |

| franco | ActionParsnip, is there a way to just print the content of disk ? shouldn't strings command prints 00000 and so on? | 16:04 |
| izinucs | theadmin: ActionParsnip thanks.. | 16:04 |
| doable | its me again...i'm not able to access a disk partition (100GB), which i assigned as swap space while installing ubuntu | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | franco: you may be able to cat the filesystem, not sure | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | doable: 100Gb swap, wowsers | 16:05 |
| sw0rdfish | hey ummm, what can I use to make a bootable win7 USB installer | 16:05 |
| auronandace | doable: 100gb swap space? | 16:05 |
| urlin2u | Antonis, not that I know of but I know little lol, check the web I doubt you will get an answer here,just a heads up really. | 16:05 |
| zykotick9 | doable: did you really create a 100GB swap? you can't access a swap partition. | 16:05 |
| doable | silly! but didn't know much about it | 16:05 |
| mneptok | doable: are you a Windows user? | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | sw0rdfish: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html | 16:06 |
| urlin2u | sw0rdfish, you can make a ntfs with a bootflag and extract the iso to it=the usb. | 16:06 |
| mneptok | doable: swap space = pagefile.sys | 16:06 |
| doable | i am, but switching to ubuntu | 16:06 |
| theadmin | doable: swap is kind of addition for RAM, Linux dumps stuff not currently really used from RAM to swap | 16:06 |
| doable | could I reduce the size of swap space | 16:06 |
| slipttees | ActionParsnip: humm..... i try... first i need repair partition.. mkfs.ext4...after, use foremost? | 16:06 |
| zykotick9 | doable: generally, swap should be equal to your RAM (but there are many different cases). If you really created a 100GB swap, I'd urge you to recreate your partitions | 16:06 |
| Barcel0 | Can anyone help me? I need to configure casper and isolinux, is that I have created a livecd of a custom system, but I need to add an entry to allow entry only to start a system console | 16:06 |
| sw0rdfish | thanks ActionParsnip :) | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | slipttees: just use foremost on the partition as is | 16:06 |
| theadmin | Barcel0: Add "text" to the kernel line for that entry | 16:07 |
| raj | is there an aptitude alternative to sudo apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded | 16:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sw0rdfish: why could I find that and you couldn't? | 16:07 |
| urlin2u | Barcel0, Ubunbtu? | 16:07 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu | 16:07 |
| doable | zykotick9: that means , i lose all my data? | 16:07 |
| Barcel0 | yes ubuntu | 16:07 |
| slipttees | ActionParsnip: i try live CD. | 16:07 |
| slipttees | :D | 16:07 |
| sw0rdfish | i actually didn't know what to searcha ActionParsnip I just searched for unetbootin and read its page and found out it can only create bootable stuff for linux distros | 16:07 |
| kalimojo | i dont have the system menu . 11.10 with gnome. | 16:07 |

| zykotick9 | doable: if you have data to loose, then you could try to resize stuff (but 100GB swap is a HUGE waste of space) | 16:07 |
| Antonis | urlin2u, I will thank you! =) | 16:07 |
| bambu85 | hi all - my ubuntu 11.10 install isn't showing the grub menu on boot-up by default. How can i make it visible on boot? I'm looking at my /etc/default/grub | 16:08 |
| Barcel0 | theadmin, I've done that did not work | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | bambu85: hold shift at boot and it will show | 16:08 |
| raj | ActionParsnip, is there an aptitude alternative to sudo apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded | 16:08 |
| izinucs | doable: 6 gigs of swap is plenty | 16:08 |
| artao | ... i sure hope i'm not formatting my primary windows drive | 16:08 |
| artao | ;) | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | raj: i don't use aptituse | 16:08 |
| urlin2u | Antonis, no problem if you get it running let me know. :) | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | *aptitude | 16:08 |
| doable | zykotick9: ok. thanks! | 16:08 |
| raj | you prefer apt-get? | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | raj: never had an issue with it | 16:08 |
| zykotick9 | bambu85: look for hidden options i believe | 16:08 |
| linskyrate | hi there :) | 16:08 |
| raj | k | 16:09 |
| doable | izinucs: i'll try that in next install. | 16:09 |

| linskyrate | is there a ready made package for Backtracker 5 to install in Ubuntu 11.10? | 16:09 |
| === Octane is now known as Guest36712 | ||
| slipttees | ActionParsnip: thanks | 16:10 |
| izinucs | doable: you might also consider separating your /home directory to its own partition. It makes reinstall/upgrades a lot easier and you have less chance of loosing your data. | 16:10 |
| elijah | I try scp ~/file1 file 2 elijah@hostname.com:~/ and it only copies the first file | 16:10 |
| bambu85 | do I need to change this line? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ? | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | slipttees: again, get a backup!!! | 16:10 |
| Barcel0 | theadmin, I had do this: kernel /casper/vmlinuz append boot=casper text initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash -- | 16:10 |
| slipttees | ActionParsnip: okay okay homie | 16:10 |
| slipttees | :D | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | bambu85: if you want to see grub I believe you need to change: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true | 16:10 |
| bambu85 | thanks! | 16:10 |
| theadmin | Barcel0: Well, add "text" to this at the very end | 16:10 |
| awhitehatter | so my wireless card has decided to stop connecting to networks...I can see them, i try to connect it rejects the password. It's the right password, other devices connect just fine...I tried both Network-Manager and WICD, I get the same result. Any thoughts where to look next? Using BCM4312 card | 16:10 |
| bambu85 | ActionParsnip: so that should be set to true? ok | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | bambu85: if you want to boot to CLI only then theadmin's advise will sort you | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | bambu85: read and think ;) | 16:11 |
| pconwell | does a combo cd/dvd drive show up differently in /dev/ depedning on if it's a cd or dvd in the drive? | 16:11 |
| pconwell | or is it always /dev/sr0 (or whatever( | 16:11 |
| theadmin | pconwell: Nah it's usually just srN where N is a number from 0 to infinity | 16:12 |
| bambu85 | ActionParsnip: thanks! | 16:12 |
| urlin2u | awhitehatter, you have seen the broadcom wiki? | 16:12 |
| zykotick9 | raj: regarding your aptitude question, have you seen -s simulate? | 16:12 |
| Barcel0 | theadmin , so? kernel /casper/vmlinuz append boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash text | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | pconwell: if you put in a DVD then /dev/dvd will be used | 16:12 |
| pconwell | theadmin: thanks... I'm having issues with ddrescue | 16:12 |
| raj | zykotick9, no I haven't | 16:13 |
| theadmin | Barcel0: Something like this, I'm not familiar with syslinux actually | 16:13 |
| pconwell | ActionParsnip: as opposed to /dev/cdrom? | 16:13 |
| raj | I'll just use apt-get for now | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pconwell: if you run: sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive you will see the device names | 16:13 |
| pconwell | ActionParsnip: cool | 16:13 |
| raj | I usually substitute aptitude for apt-get, and usually works | 16:13 |
| raj | but in this case it didn't | 16:13 |
| Barcel0 | ok thank! theadmin :) | 16:13 |
| Barcel0 | urlin2u, yes I use ubuntu | 16:13 |

| elijah | Looks like it is scp ~/{file1,file2} elijah@hostname.com:~/ | 16:15 |
| pconwell | ActionParsnip: it shows up as "logical name: /dev/scd0" and the next line says "logical name: /dev/scd0". Is it normal to have two entries like that? | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | pconwell: maybe its a combi drive thing | 16:18 |
| bw_ | Is there a preferred method of disabling services on boot? Create an service.override file or use chkconfig? | 16:19 |
| theadmin | bw_: err huh? chkconfig is a redhat thing, I have no idea what "service.override" is at all. Just use bum or rcconf | 16:20 |
| pconwell | ActionParsnip: yes it is, but both seem to work the same (as far as I can tell)... | 16:20 |

| mneptok | raj: the common loopback address for localhost | 16:22 |

The function keys don't work to change the brightness, and the command "sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=xx" seems to take (I have to enter password, no errors), but the brightness doesn't change.

| artao | now my computer won't boot to win 7 OR linux. it's just sitting there blinking a cursor at me. ... I had my doubts about letting grub go on the MBR .. the installer didn't see my win 7, but i figured i could adjust that | 17:01 |
| zwoxyz | ActionParsnip: ok | 17:01 |
| MonkeyDust | can ethernet handle speeds of 1000mbps? | 17:02 |
| compdoc | DXBLouie, you have a problem with the nic, wiring, or switch. might be better to fix it, than manually setting the speed | 17:02 |
| jonko | its a the same but with nice gui | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: sure, as long as both ends support it | 17:02 |
| Spec | MonkeyDust: can ethernet handle gigabit? sure. | 17:02 |
| artao | soooo .. why won't grub load for me? i'm on my 1st reboot after install | 17:02 |
| DXBLouie | compdoc, the switch works fine, my windows box (identical) runs 1000mbps, i switched cables.. but that's besides the point | 17:03 |

| ActionParsnip | artao: what GPU do you use? | 17:03 |
| artao | gpu? ati x600 | 17:03 |
| DXBLouie | compdoc, at this point i'd much rather just set it to 100mbps.. the NIC is embedded, and my expansion PCIe ports are used | 17:03 |

| DXBLouie | agian, that's besides the point, my question is really whether there's a way to set adapter options via NetworkManager, as opposed to setting an if-up script in /etc/network/interfaces and ditching NetworkManager | 17:04 |
| artao | i'm trying to get my comp. to boot ... grub won't start .. 1st boot after install | 17:04 |

| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | artao | 17:04 |
| ubottu | artao: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:04 |

| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: the default is to not show grub though | 17:05 |
| artao | but the bootloader isn't even coming up .. i have no opportunity to use nomodeset | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | artao: hold shift at boot, does it show? | 17:05 |
| artao | i'll try | 17:05 |
| compdoc | DXBLouie, if you have to set the card manually, it might be best not to use the network manager. you can set everything by hand | 17:06 |
| ederico | hello all, I'm running Ubuntu 11.10. I was wondering, when I go to the music lens and click on a track it plays automatically in Totem. However, if I click on an album nothing happens.

| artao | 3 ... one sata (primary drive) one IDE, one USB external | 17:08 |
| davidcalle | ederico, that's why the albums don't play, Totems doesn't understand the concept of albums as Bansheed does. | 17:08 |
| davidcalle | Totem* | 17:08 |
| auronandace | artao: maybe you need to change the boot order in the bios | 17:08 |
| artao | i did that | 17:08 |
| auronandace | artao: so you are set to boot from the drive hat grub was installed to? | 17:09 |
| artao | that i'm not sure | 17:09 |

| artao | the IDE is set to boot 1st right now, but it also didn't work with the SATA booting 1st | 17:10 |

| ubottu | goldcityman: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://goo.gl/UUTAB for details. | 17:36 |
| auronandace | !lubuntu | goldcityman | 17:36 |
| ubottu | goldcityman: 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. | 17:36 |

| ActionParsnip | goldcityman: I'd wait til April then install Precise which is LTS | 17:36 |
| Nach0z | goldcityman: you could theoretically re-nice the plugin-container, but auronandace is right, installing LXDE instead of Gnome is a much better option | 17:36 |
| theadmin | goldcityman: Try Xubuntu or Lubuntu, or maybe Crunchbang or even Arch. We don't support the latter two, but they have brilliant performance :) | 17:36 |
| oldman | Does ubuntu support HID (usb) compliant touchscreens? | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | goldcityman: sure, minimum requirement is still 512Mb, you will get a more responsive OS with Lubuntu | 17:37 |

| auronandace | !mini | metbsd | 17:39 |
| ubottu | metbsd: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 17:39 |
| theadmin | goldcityman: You can only upgrade to 10.04, then to 10.10, then to 11.04 and finally to 11.10. Which is a horrible mess. I suggest a reinstall. | 17:40 |

| ActionParsnip | RKyle: there is a reason there is no root pass | 18:22 |
| scott__ | honorable mention to actionparsnip for attempting to help. thanks my friend | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | scott__: got the PPA added though :) | 18:22 |
| RKyle | ActionParsnip, I forgot the password to the account with root access, I do however have access to other accounts on the server. | 18:23 |
| kuhno | it's really confusing having no root pw anymore... a week ago i still had one :D | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | RKyle: use your account which is in the admin group | 18:23 |
| RKyle | ActionParsnip, There was only one account in the admin group and I lost that accounts passwords. | 18:24 |
| RKyle | The rest of the accounts are just basic accounts without root access. | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | RKyle: then you will need to pysically attend the server and use a chroot | 18:24 |

| grubbyone | I want to be able to restore the disk image | 18:52 |
| slipttees | ActionParsnip: :-( | 18:52 |
| reisio | you can save a lot of time by just making a cp/rsync of the filesystem, possibly the mbr, and the partition table | 18:53 |
| reisio | if you really want an "image", though, read http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/howto-whole-disk-backups-with-dd-gzip-and-p7zip.html | 18:53 |

| holstein | ubukou: cool.. you can just uninstall it as you choose... | 19:13 |
| ubukou | holstein, but it is really choppy and it freezes a lot | 19:13 |
| holstein | ubukou: yeah, just depends on what driver and where you got it from | 19:13 |
| ubukou | holstein, should i boot unity and go deactivate it from there? | 19:13 |
| holstein | sometiems you can get newer ones from the site | 19:13 |

| zykotick9 | ubukou: (just a guess), but after you remove the ATI driver, you probably have to move xorg.conf to a different name. | 19:45 |
| ubukou | zykotick9, hmm you think xorg.conf was trying to load fglrx? | 19:45 |
| zykotick9 | ubukou: yes i do | 19:46 |
| ubukou | zykotick9, any reconfigure commands? | 19:46 |
| zykotick9 | ubukou: just move it to a different name, xorg shouldn't be required for "open" drivers (ATI's open driver still relies on proprietary firmware - so i don't consider it open) | 19:47 |

| auronandace | ubukou: i think vesa only gets loaded as a fallback option if no other driver is used and if the card supports vesa | 20:18 |

When I run a "apt-get update", I'm said that He cant download from 127.0.0.1:8118 ; however I uninstalled this proxy server, I changed my setting from system preference (dirrect connection to internet), /etc/apt/apt.conf is empty . What is going wrong ? | 20:59 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: if your outside interface is eth0, your inside interface would be eth1 | 20:59 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, ifconfig shows no eth1 | 21:00 |
| alexdevillx | theadmin< ok | 21:00 |
| vandal- | is it posible to change character written by pressing Del on keypad? its , by default in polish setup, i would love to set it to . (dot) | 21:00 |
| alexdevillx | theadmin how long it will take to make my speech | 21:00 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: have you configured it with ethtool? | 21:00 |
| theadmin | alexdevillx: No idea as well -- if you mean the site itself then it's currently overloaded so it can take quite some time | 21:00 |
| lorenzo | mellifera nope, just following the guide I linked | 21:00 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: both interfaces need to be configured | 21:01 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, I was gonna use a cabled connection to connect to the internet, and keep the inside network wireless | 21:01 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: even if the inside interface is wireless, it still needs to be configured | 21:02 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, configured how? | 21:02 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, i set it to master mode with iwconfig | 21:02 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: the same way you configured eth0 | 21:02 |
| xj88 | theadmin: I found "Additional Drivers" but all it's coming up with is a software modem. How to find the graphics drivers? | 21:03 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, I did not configure eth0 honestly, I think i am missing something here. can you help please? | 21:03 |
| theadmin | xj88: Hm, okay, what is your graphics card? | 21:03 |
| r3d0ctob3r | I went ahead. I type "env | grep proxy" in console, I was returned : http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/ ftp_proxy=ftp://127.0.0.1:8118/ https_proxy=https://127.0.0.1:8118/ ; am I just supposed to delete them ? | 21:03 |
| xj88 | theadmin: Checking. | 21:03 |
| alexdevillx | theadmin< why? | 21:03 |
| theadmin | alexdevillx: That's offtopic here, and anyway, this isn't an Ubuntu question at all honestly | 21:04 |

| kingfarvito | I installed imagemagick but now I cant find it | 21:08 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, how do i configure ath0? | 21:09 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: you don't. linux needs you to configure eth1 | 21:09 |
| r3d0ctob3r | How can I delete the valu of proxy variable ? ( env | grep proxy ) | 21:09 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, so how do i do that? | 21:10 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: something must have configured eth0 for you | 21:10 |
| xj88 | theadmin: Looks like it's an Intel GMA 950 graphics processor. | 21:10 |
| theadmin | xj88: I see... Well the intel drivers should be in the repos, dunno | 21:10 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, i suppose I did somehow along the process described in the Router guide on help.ubuntu.com | 21:11 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: so configure eth1 next | 21:11 |
| guntbert | r3d0ctob3r: unset proxy | 21:12 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, something like this? auto eth1 | 21:12 |
| lorenzo | iface eth1 inet static | 21:12 |
| lorenzo | address 192.168.0.1 | 21:12 |
| lorenzo | network 192.168.0.0 | 21:12 |

| lorenzo | broadcast 192.168.0.255 | 21:12 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: that sounds good | 21:13 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, so i put that into my /etc/network/interfaces, do I need to configure ath0 next? | 21:14 |
| xj88 | theadmin: Do you know of a way to force a reload of the drivers, maybe? | 21:14 |
| theadmin | xj88: No, sorry, I'm off | 21:14 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: all you need to configure is eth0 and eth1 | 21:14 |
| xj88 | Balls. | 21:15 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, and will I be able to connect a client via wifi that way? | 21:15 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: ath0 is eth1 | 21:15 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: hopefully, if the gods of wifi smile upon you | 21:15 |
| Jessicatz | Why does my .bashrc in my home directory keep disappearing since yesterday? | 21:16 |
| Gentoo64 | Jessicatz, no idea | 21:16 |
| r3d0ctob3r | guntbert It stays there.. unset proxy doesnt change anything. If I type "env | grep proxy" I keep having "*_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118", and obviously apt-get doesnt work ... :/ | 21:16 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, do i just restart and try to connecT? | 21:17 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: if you've done all the rest of the routing configuration, sure | 21:18 |
| guntbert | r3d0ctob3r: of course, you have to use the variable name in the unset statement :) | 21:18 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, restarting networking tells me "eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device" | 21:18 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, do I need to create that? | 21:18 |
| r3d0ctob3r | guntbert Oh ok :$ I try it, thanks | 21:19 |
| mellifera | lorenzo: you showed us all a bunch opf lines indicating that it ws already created | 21:19 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, well I thought so too, I added that to interfaces. I don't understand. How can I understand what I got wrong? | 21:20 |

| nach8 | hello | 21:34 |
| grubbyone | ok, lets say I zero out the entire drive, then install ubuntu server, then make a compressed dd image of the drive, how big will the image be? is there anything else I can do to make it smaller? | 21:35 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: the image will be the size of the drive, you can compress it after you've made it | 21:37 |
| lorenzo | mellifera, ok. Thank you very much for your help. Can you direct me to a guide/howto maybe? The guide I was using does not mention that | 21:37 |
| grubbyone | right, I'm trying to eliminate random data from the drive so the compressed image can be as small as possible | 21:37 |
| grubbyone | is this the best method? | 21:38 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: not going to happen with dd | 21:38 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: dd is block for block copy - white space or datsa | 21:38 |
| ikonia | data | 21:38 |
| === dduffey is now known as dduffey_afk | ||
| grubbyone | right, I'm making an image of the drive, where all the unused space should be zeros | 21:38 |
| grubbyone | am I missing something? | 21:38 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: dd will copy the zeros - zeros is data, | 21:38 |
| r3d0ctob3r | guntbert Ok no, nothing... :/ | 21:39 |
| grubbyone | right, but when compressed, it should be inconsequential | 21:39 |
| gaelle_ | hello, i just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Sadly i lost my wireless connection after the upgrade. Any pointers on how to make wireless networks work again? (im using cable now) | 21:39 |
| r3d0ctob3r | guntbert I reconnect, I go on my no-root session | 21:39 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: you can compress it post creating the image, it will still be a big image | 21:39 |
| grubbyone | so what should I do differently to get the smallest image size possible? | 21:39 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: nothing, you won't with dd | 21:39 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: dd is block for block copy, nothing will change that | 21:40 |
| grubbyone | ok | 21:40 |
| grubbyone | so what should I do differently | 21:40 |
| grubbyone | I'm open | 21:40 |
| grubbyone | to anything | 21:40 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: not using dd would be a method, however I don't believe in the "image" tools for linux | 21:40 |
| r3d0ctob3r | right back | 21:40 |
| grubbyone | ikonia: what to use then? | 21:40 |
| ratcheer | gaelle_: What is your wireless hardware? | 21:40 |
| grubbyone | ikonia: I want to put a full drive backup on a USB stick | 21:41 |

| ikonia | grubbyone: how big is your usb ? | 21:41 |
| grubbyone | ikonia: 8GB | 21:41 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: that seems unlikly | 21:41 |
| rypervenche | grubbyone: What will you be using the image for? | 21:42 |
| grubbyone | ikonia: why would 3 gigs of data+ 117GB of zeroes be more than 5GB compressed? | 21:42 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: because zeros is still data | 21:42 |
| ikonia | grubbyone: if you believe it will work, do it | 21:42 |
| yellowlantern | what's the best way to add a simple script to startup (Ubuntu 10.04 and up) that just generates HOST SSH keys if they don't exists. It's not a service, just a script. Thank you. | 21:42 |

| ikonia | grubbyone: you have found one, you think it will work, do it | 21:43 |

| alberto | ciao | 21:43 |

| rypervenche | yellowlantern: What desktop environment are you using? | 21:44 |
| rypervenche | yellowlantern: or even better, what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 21:44 |

| ratcheer | gaelle_: See if it shows up in the output of "sudo lspci -v" | 21:46 |
| yellowlantern | rypervenche the thing about Xen templates and Ubuntu is that on a fresh install I want Ubuntu to generate Host SSH keys, so each user that runs a VM gets a different key | 21:46 |

| Estragon | additionnaly, if there is a temporary solution (some files to delete) it would be great too | 22:11 |
| mercutio2 | hi, i've been trying to find out about the remote execution vulnerability in php, and whether ubuntu is vulnerable | 22:12 |
| mercutio2 | can't seem to find anything saying that it is, or is not.. | 22:12 |
| zykotick9 | Estragon: you might want to check "du -h /var/cache/apt/archives" its downloaded updates (not really required) | 22:12 |
| mercutio2 | anyone have any idea where to look? | 22:12 |
| suse_guy | What terminal command can I use to find out about all mounted disks and find out if it's /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc or whatever? | 22:12 |
| auronandace | Estragon: only if you know what's in / and what you can afford to get rid of (older kernels is a safe bet) | 22:12 |
| zykotick9 | suse_guy: "mount" will list what is currently mounted | 22:13 |
| Slart | suse_guy: cat /etc/mtab or sudo blkid | 22:13 |
| Estragon | zykotick9: seems a really good idea, can I delete files in there without risk ? | 22:13 |
| MoDDD | suse_guy, type mount | 22:13 |
| suse_guy | Thanks, guys | 22:13 |
| zykotick9 | Estragon: sure, "sudo apt-get clean" should look after it | 22:13 |
| Tannn3r | Does anyone know what I can do? (posted above) | 22:13 |
| Estragon | zykotick9: yep, just freed 81Mo :) | 22:14 |
| urlin2u | Tannn3r, with a google search of that error message I see bugs filed take a look if you can | 22:14 |
| mongy | Estragon, i tend to put apt-get clean in /etc/rc.local also | 22:15 |
| mercutio2 | mongy: why? | 22:15 |
| mongy | mercutio2, I dont want to hold debs forever, or at reboot. | 22:15 |
| mercutio2 | i find i use autoclean more than clean | 22:15 |
| mercutio2 | mongy: then make /var/apt/archives on a tmpfs filesystem? | 22:15 |
| === gskellig|mobile is now known as gskellig|away | ||
| mercutio2 | err /var/cache/apt/archives | 22:16 |
| mongy | mercutio2, have apt-get use my ram when installing? nah, I'll just have it clean it every boot. just as simple | 22:16 |
| MoDDD | mercutio2, have you try with apt-get autoremove? | 22:16 |
| mercutio2 | i dunno hard-disk space is cheap these days | 22:16 |
| mercutio2 | i use apt-get autoclean occassionally.. | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mongy: could run: sudo apt-get autoclean and it will clean itself after install. | 22:17 |
| mercutio2 | the problem i find is occasionally you want to retreat to the version of a package that was working | 22:17 |
| * ActionParsnip has browser cache in tempfs, makes web browser a bit faster | 22:17 | |
| mercutio2 | but then i follow unstable branch sometimes | 22:17 |
| mercutio2 | so sometimes the package gets updated and removed from the repository | 22:17 |
| mongy | ActionParsnip, ugh.. I did not know it did that.. | 22:17 |
| mercutio2 | action: ahh i used to do that... | 22:18 |
| mercutio2 | it only really matters for hard-disk, for ssd it's no big diff | 22:18 |
| mercutio2 | what i really want for browser cache is huge read ahead | 22:18 |

| ActionParsnip | as well as adding this to /etc/sysctl.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/828152/ | 22:20 |

| zykotick9 | nichlas: actually lftp is ncurses ;) or it depends on it anyway | 22:36 |
| orville | guntbert: course not. but if i suspect the phone is working because of the charger I bought from him then I'd try to find out if that was the issue. | 22:38 |

| urlin2u | ActionParsnip, cool baby. :D | 22:51 |
| overclucker | just swapping out the window manager is probably enough | 22:51 |
| osmosis | urlin2u, are they easy to try out from my existing install? | 22:51 |

| rebe | how do I change terminal to show ":~" when I'm in home instead of "myname@mycomp:~" | 22:52 |
| urlin2u | osmosis, they all add dektops so there is cross over, I would download the iso's and test that way, if you like one you can install then and remove unity or just leave it depending on what the crossover apps. | 22:53 |
| ratcheer | rebe: It is an environment variable, PS1 | 22:53 |

| ikonia | Worre: what do you mean change the type ? | 23:15 |
| SoulShadow | chrome uses too much ram | 23:15 |
| SoulShadow | i think he means ext3->4 | 23:15 |
| Worre | ie. ntfs to ext3 | 23:16 |
| Xenobyte | They both have their quirks | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Worre: backup, format, restore data | 23:16 |
| ikonia | Worre: no, that's a file system type - not a partition type (just for future reference) | 23:16 |
| Worre | oh | 23:16 |
| Worre | somehow i messed them together | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | SoulShadow: I have ram to spare, so I'd rather it use that than chew the cpu like a fat kid at a free pie stall | 23:16 |
| SoulShadow | ActionParsnip? | 23:16 |
| SoulShadow | firefox uses no cpu here | 23:17 |
| ikonia | Worre: it's not a problem, you'll just get better responses if you use the right terms | 23:17 |
| mellifera | tiox: if you're using gnome, you should find the print settings in gnome-print-manager.schemas | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | SoulShadow: Arora is light and nippy, its made to be that way | 23:17 |
| tiox | SO just search that up? | 23:17 |
| SoulShadow | ActionParsnip: maybe you should upgrade from that pentium 2 | 23:17 |
| tiox | O wait... | 23:17 |
| mellifera | yes, I suppose. I don't use gnome | 23:18 |
| tiox | Sounds like a gconf setting. | 23:18 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, ok yes it is much more stable thanks | 23:18 |
| * tiox is now somewhat confused | 23:18 | |
| ActionParsnip | SoulShadow: dual core U2500 @ 1.20GHz (32bit) | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: obviously the old configs were not compatibe with the new version, happens a lot in crappy firefox | 23:19 |
| SoulShadow | the hell is a u2500 | 23:19 |
| SoulShadow | oh man, core duo | 23:19 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, yup | 23:19 |
| SoulShadow | is that the ULV core duo? | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | SoulShadow: Dell Latitude D420, Works great | 23:20 |
| mellifera | has anyone used the midori browser? is it any good? | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mellifera: yeah its pretty sweet | 23:20 |
| SoulShadow | i tend to shy away from any browser that isn't a big name | 23:20 |
| SoulShadow | just because i don't know much about it | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | SoulShadow: sad, you may be missing out | 23:20 |
| ben_ | Hi everyone. I have a quick question. When I'm using the software center on XFCE version of Ubuntu, it doesn't load all the way. It just shows a white screen | 23:21 |
| SoulShadow | ActionParsnip: it's a browser | 23:21 |
| SoulShadow | it loads my webpages | 23:21 |
| SoulShadow | that's all it's supposed to do | 23:21 |
| ben_ | Oh. Okay. I understand now. ty | 23:21 |
| Xenobyte | imma try midori now wtf | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | SoulShadow: and access ftp sites.. | 23:22 |
| SoulShadow | ftp would be a webpage still | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | SoulShadow: not technically, its a file server | 23:22 |
| SoulShadow | but it's still a hosted page | 23:22 |
| SoulShadow | with a directory | 23:22 |
| SoulShadow | :D | 23:22 |
| SoulShadow | but more often than not you'd use a standalone client for ftp | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | SoulShadow: your browser can ust represent the files, its a file server not HTML code is present | 23:23 |
| SoulShadow | just because they're generally better for that type of thing | 23:23 |
| osmosis | LXDE looks nice! hadnt seen that one before | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | osmosis: wanna see my lxde desktop? | 23:23 |
| tiox | mellifera: Is it a setting I can modify in either gconf or dconf? | 23:23 |
| osmosis | ActionParsnip, yah | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | osmosis: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/Desktop.png | 23:24 |
| mellifera | tiox: probably in gconf. but it's also (supposed to be) a file you can edit | 23:24 |
| xj88 | Slart: Do you think that my Xorg.0.log will stay intact if I log into Ubuntu 2D? | 23:24 |
| osmosis | ActionParsnip, what file manager is that? | 23:24 |
| osmosis | ActionParsnip, your desktop looks real clean | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | osmosis: nautilus, I run it with the option: --no-desktop so it doesn't screw up my desktop | 23:25 |
| tiox | You knwo what? BRB. I'm going to see what a complete reset with gconftool does. | 23:25 |

| JRandolph | Would I be able to use this card - http://goo.gl/6Vldj - for DirecTV | 23:25 |
| osmosis | ActionParsnip, ahh..i was wondering bout openbox. How do you use them together? What part is openbox? | 23:26 |
| JRandolph | whoooppps | 23:26 |
| JRandolph | wrong chan | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | osmosis: the WM | 23:26 |
| ratcheer | I just switched my ArchLinux from slim to lxdm. Using OpenBox desktop. | 23:26 |
| osmosis | ratcheer, have you tried crunchbang? | 23:26 |
| ratcheer | osmosis: No, I haven't. I use gnome-shell on Ubuntu. | 23:27 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, ok i figured out what was causing the crash now was anextension is there a way for me to switch back to regular non vanilla | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: you can but its hard to pick bits out of profiles to see what's making it faulter. I'd jst rebuild, I don't use firefox so can't really help much | 23:30 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, ok | 23:31 |
| meerkats | does synapse had a shortcut? I need to find apps, and unity's dash home returns only files, no apps | 23:35 |
| |Long| | hi, i try to move some folders to another directory using sudo rm /source/1 /destination/1 but having error rm: cannot remove /source/1 No such file or directory | 23:36 |
| |Long| | how do i fix that? | 23:36 |
| mellifera | |Long|: "rm" doesn't move files. "mv" moves files | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | yeh I thought that | 23:37 |
| |Long| | alright cool thanks | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | rm = (r)e(m)ove.... | 23:37 |
| mellifera | But |Long|, from the way "rm" works, you've probably already deleted "/source/1" | 23:37 |
| biagiol3 | ciao | 23:38 |
| |Long| | mellifera, i think your i was screwed | 23:38 |
| |Long| | your right* | 23:38 |

| iceroot | zul0: ftp is always bad | 23:50 |
| iceroot | zul0: but have a look at proftpd | 23:50 |
| mneptok | zul0: never send ftp to do sftp's job | 23:50 |
| zul0 | Ok, thanks! | 23:51 |
| ratcheer | mneptok: +1 | 23:51 |
