| nivyaj | veryhappy: something messed up | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ikonia | Erealz: try #ubuntu+1 (it's a channel) | 00:00 |
| macmartine | ikonia: https://gist.github.com/1741244 | 00:00 |
| kinou | veryhappy: my bad. I mixed things. The password was when I tried to manage user accounts. Now I have no passwords asked. | 00:00 |
| veryhappy | holstein: yes, sorry | 00:00 |
| acerimmer | Added 12.04 wallpapers @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Artwork/UserContributed#preview | 00:00 |
| holstein | veryhappy: no worries :) | 00:00 |
| macmartine | ikonia: no idea what's with all the php5 instances | 00:00 |
| nivyaj | veryhappy: if i go into the directory and type ./idea.sh the program works, but from another directory, it doesn't | 00:00 |
| Erealz | k | 00:00 |
| nivyaj | does that mean i didn't set the right location in my path? | 00:00 |
| daniel___ | I'll be back | 00:01 |
| kinou | veryhappy: But concerning the shutdown, I always used the graphical icon on the upper right to shutdown the computer. It used to work. | 00:01 |
| === linux is now known as rick_james | ||
| ikonia | macmartine: that doesn't like like a standard ubuntu web server setup | 00:01 |
| Romeo5k | ok.. i need someone help.. I hAVe not even a clue about crontabs.. so i asked fior help,.. and my system wont even read crontab- e | 00:01 |
| ikonia | macmartine: that looks very on, especially as there is no httpd process running | 00:01 |
| kinou | veryhappy: Now, it brings me back to the login screen everytime. | 00:01 |
| Romeo5k | whats wrong? | 00:01 |
| jrib | Romeo5k: "crontab -e" to edit your crontab | 00:01 |
| macmartine | ikonia: i'm running nginx | 00:01 |
| jrib | !cron | Romeo5k | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Romeo5k: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto | 00:01 |
| Flannel | Romeo5k: what do you mean 'wont even read crontab -e'? | 00:02 |
| Romeo5k | somoene said i need to install crontabs... ive tried all i can try to my knowwldge and ubuntu is still not understanding | 00:02 |
| veryhappy | kinou: it always returns to the graphical login? | 00:02 |
| Romeo5k | can anyone pls walk me thru this apain | 00:02 |
| nivyaj | veryhappy: fixed it | 00:02 |
| ikonia | macmartine: postgres and mysql ? | 00:02 |
| macmartine | ikonia: yeah | 00:02 |
| veryhappy | nivyaj: good | 00:02 |
| schnuffle | Romeo5k: crontab is installed by default | 00:02 |
| Romeo5k | not for me it isnt | 00:02 |
| macmartine | ikonia: postgres for my rails app, mysql for wordpress | 00:02 |
| ToBIOS | chronofire: Sorry about the wait. Got caught up with something else. | 00:02 |
| nivyaj | veryhappy: yea- i'm getting more confident with this stuff | 00:02 |
| Romeo5k | ive tried everythig i could | 00:02 |
| Romeo5k | i promise | 00:02 |
| nivyaj | thx | 00:02 |
| schnuffle | Romeo5k: You mean you don't have cron installed? | 00:03 |
| ToBIOS | chronofire: So you didn't use Wubi? | 00:03 |
| Romeo5k | schnuffle | 00:03 |
| Romeo5k | yea | 00:03 |
| veryhappy | nivyaj: good, that's fine, see you | 00:03 |
| kinou | veryhappy: yes. | 00:03 |
| ikonia | macmartine: doesn't look in the best of setup, | 00:03 |
| Romeo5k | i mean crontab is not installed | 00:03 |
| macmartine | ikonia: how so? | 00:03 |
| Romeo5k | and i dont know how to install it | 00:03 |
| schnuffle | Romeo5k: okay then install it with: sudo apt-get install cron | 00:03 |
| Romeo5k | ok | 00:03 |
| kinou | veryhappy: it displays the "shutdown animation" and then brings me back to the login screen. | 00:03 |
| jrib | Romeo5k: what exactly happens when you enter « crontab -e » in your shell? | 00:03 |
| ikonia | macmartine: looks like your web server is either over spawning (try fewer bigger processes) or you've just got a machine that's massivly under powered | 00:03 |
| Romeo5k | jrib command not found | 00:04 |
| ikonia | macmartine: ever considered running wordpress on postgres to try to only run one database process, | 00:04 |
| jrib | Romeo5k: what did you type? | 00:04 |
| veryhappy | kinou: to be honest, i got no idea for this problem. | 00:04 |
| Romeo5k | crontab -e | 00:04 |
| jrib | Romeo5k: copy and paste the whole line | 00:04 |
| jrib | Romeo5k: how did you install ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| kinou | veryhappy: :/ | 00:04 |
| Romeo5k | just the regular way | 00:04 |
| macmartine | ikonia: yeah, i'll have to migrate it over. I'm just seeing if I'm up for managing all this myself before I commit | 00:04 |
| Romeo5k | its on a vps | 00:05 |
| jrib | Romeo5k: "regular way" is meaningless. | 00:05 |
| Romeo5k | but right now its actualy installing it | 00:05 |
| kinou | veryhappy: thanks for the intended help and for saying that rather than letting me wait for nothing. | 00:05 |
| daniel___ | @urlin2u, I'm back and my device mounted. I had to have it plugged in before Ubuntu started up | 00:05 |
| pSy4130 | @jrib, boot the CD and follow the instructions, do you have a specific question? | 00:05 |
| jimi_ | holstein, i fixed it | 00:05 |
| jimi_ | holstein, no thanks to you :P | 00:05 |
| jimi_ | holstein, j/k :) | 00:05 |
| urlin2u | daniel___, hmm, do you have it in fstab? | 00:05 |
| jrib | pSy4130: no, I do not have a question | 00:05 |
| mukaibot | hi there, I'm having some weirdness with my bridged networking configuration | 00:05 |
| mukaibot | in kvm | 00:06 |
| macmartine | ikonia: can you direct me to info about how to firgure out the over spawning? | 00:06 |
| funnyfingers | syn-ack I want to make a mysql socket file. | 00:06 |
| daniel___ | @urlin2u, One second | 00:06 |
| veryhappy | kinou: no problem, i tried what i could | 00:06 |
| Romeo5k | jrib it works now | 00:06 |
| mukaibot | I can ssh to a guest, but the guest can't ping hosts, nslookup, etc...output from ifconfig, netstat and /etc/resolv.conf appears correct | 00:06 |
| syn-ack | funnyfingers, wait, what | 00:06 |
| holstein | jimi_: lol... what was the deal? | 00:06 |
| Romeo5k | it actually respnds to crontab now | 00:06 |
| urlin2u | daniel___, I wouldn't just wondering. | 00:06 |
| daniel___ | No it doesn't show up in fstab | 00:06 |
| urlin2u | daniel___, cool hope it continues to work. | 00:06 |
| funnyfingers | syn-ack with CentOS if a socket file is missing I use mksock to make it again. | 00:06 |
| jimi_ | holstein, I think something had the audio devices locked, pulse could only see dummy output, so i killed it and restarted pulse and it worked | 00:07 |
| daniel___ | @urlin2u, I have a strong feeling it will stop working next time I restart without having something plugged in like this | 00:07 |
| syn-ack | funnyfingers, mysql should do that automatically when you launch it. that's what mysql.sock is | 00:07 |
| funnyfingers | ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/zimbra/db/mysql.sock' (111) | 00:07 |
| holstein | jimi_: yeah... you know how "somebody" is when they get around your machine! ... glad you got it working :) | 00:07 |
| funnyfingers | The file doesn't exist. | 00:07 |
| jimi_ | holstein, heh, it was a fresh install! :P | 00:08 |
| syn-ack | funnyfingers, rm mysql.sock and restart it | 00:08 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: that's not an ubuntu install | 00:08 |
| funnyfingers | the file doesn't exist | 00:08 |
| trojan | Any good IDE suggestion for web ,, php ? | 00:08 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: the ubuntu install doesn't get put in that location | 00:08 |
| holstein | jimi_: in some cases, pavucontrol has killed pulse on me | 00:08 |
| funnyfingers | I know it isn't. | 00:08 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: what distro is it ? | 00:08 |
| funnyfingers | Ubuntu | 00:08 |
| funnyfingers | just not an Ubuntu app | 00:08 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: ok - so where did you get mysql from ? | 00:08 |
| funnyfingers | Zimbra | 00:08 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: so they are the people who will support you | 00:08 |
| funnyfingers | So Ubuntu has no socket file maker like CentOS? | 00:09 |
| mukaibot | I'm having some issues with bridged networking in KVM. I can ssh to a guest, but the guest can't ping hosts, nslookup, etc...output from ifconfig, netstat and /etc/resolv.conf appears correct | 00:09 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: you've not using ubuntu's mysql | 00:09 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: ubuntus does have a socket file | 00:09 |
| funnyfingers | Yes but I want to make a socket file. | 00:09 |
| ikonia | vmware can help you with this sort of thing, try the #vmware channel | 00:09 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: it's not an ubuntu software product or problem | 00:09 |
| WoC | funnyfingers, the socket is created when the mysqld is running | 00:09 |
| funnyfingers | WoC what does it use to create it? | 00:10 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: the daemon creates it | 00:10 |
| WoC | funnyfingers, making it manually would prevent mysqld from starting | 00:10 |
| funnyfingers | ah I 'll check the daemon then. | 00:10 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: again #vmware is the channel for this | 00:10 |
| funnyfingers | no it isn't ikonia | 00:10 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: yes it is, it's a vmware product, this isn't an ubuntu issue/application | 00:11 |
| syn-ack | someones gonna get a banhammer..... :P | 00:11 |
| syn-ack | since when is mysql a vmware product? | 00:11 |
| syn-ack | it's an oracle product. :P | 00:11 |
| ikonia | syn-ack: it's a custom built mysql bundled with zimba (vmware) | 00:11 |
| syn-ack | nm | 00:11 |
| syn-ack | just saw that | 00:11 |
| ikonia | I'm reading the documentation on it | 00:11 |
| syn-ack | ikonia, yeah, don't mind me. heh | 00:12 |
| urlin2u | syn-ack, lol ikonia would have to ban themselves. | 00:12 |
| JacobVengeance | Anyone here use Pantheon? | 00:12 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: also http://support.zimbra.com/supportlogin.php | 00:13 |
| funnyfingers | ikonia you are missing my whole question. | 00:13 |
| syn-ack | No he's not | 00:13 |
| funnyfingers | And I am using ZCS | 00:13 |
| syn-ack | you're missing the part where it's Zimbra, not Ubuntu | 00:13 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: that's fine, however that product is a custom vmware product maintained and supported by vmware | 00:14 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: that's why I'm linking you to the #vmware channel and the Zimba support resources, | 00:14 |
| funnyfingers | I've been there and have had to fix all of my own problems up to this socket file problem where on CentOS I create a socket using mksock. Ubuntu and Debian no longer have it it seems. | 00:15 |
| runa | is there an alternative to nocturne in linux? i know that xcalib could calibrate easily the screen but i can not find the right icc. | 00:15 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: the mysql daemon creates/removes the socket file now | 00:15 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: however as this is a custom mysql build, we can't really say how it is supposed to be setup | 00:15 |
| macmartine | ikonia: Are the php processes the main things that look odd? | 00:16 |
| jimi_ | I just got an email from "lilnigglet48 " :( | 00:16 |
| ikonia | macmartine: certainly a lot | 00:16 |
| ikonia | jimi_: how is that anything to do with this channel ? | 00:16 |
| macmartine | ikonia: what else looks odd? | 00:16 |
| ikonia | macmartine: the footprint for ispconfig seemed "big" | 00:16 |
| damaltor | ispconfig? | 00:17 |
| * damaltor raises hand | 00:17 | |
| funnyfingers | ikonia and I said earlier I am going to dig through the debian mysql daeom and see how they create it. | 00:17 |
| _Raider_on_the_s | I am using Empathy. how do I see available rooms? | 00:17 |
| ikonia | damaltor: a sloppy configuration web tool for managing a server, like webmin | 00:17 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: how will that add any value when it's a custom build | 00:17 |
| macmartine | ikonia: Ok. It looks like I can just set pm.max_children to 2 or something, instead of 50, so it doesn't create so many php processes . | 00:18 |
| damaltor | ikonia: i know, i am using it for ages | 00:18 |
| ikonia | funnyfingers: you need to be talking to vmware, the debian build will be different | 00:18 |
| ikonia | macmartine: make sure that you have enough to handle your traffic though | 00:18 |
| veryhappy | can someone help me with my terminal issue? | 00:18 |
| macmartine | ikonia: but wondering if there's anything else you think i should look into | 00:18 |
| |||||||||||||||| | hello everyone | 00:18 |
| veryhappy | hello |||||||||||||||| please change your nick | 00:19 |
| |||||||||||||||| | veryhappy why? | 00:19 |
| ikonia | macmartine: hard to see from just "top", but I'd do a sizing exercise | 00:19 |
| WoC | amen | 00:19 |
| jimi_ | lol that nick was ridiculous | 00:19 |
| macmartine | ikonia: meaning what? | 00:19 |
| WoC | Too Many pipes ? ;0 | 00:19 |
| ikonia | macmartine: work out your traffic, usage per traffic block, then size the machine properly | 00:19 |
| bobenhaus | hello. is there a way to create a shortcut from a folder that resides on a NAS? | 00:20 |
| scalle | list | 00:20 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, such as a sym-link ? | 00:20 |
| magicJ | in my /etc/passwd file there are all the usual default users. Many of them are set to have a login shell as /bin/sh - isn't this an unncessary security risk - who or what needs to be able to get into them - I have no idea what the password is. | 00:21 |
| ikonia | magicJ: they are probably locked accounts | 00:22 |
| ikonia | magicJ: some accounts need a valid shell to do their tasks | 00:22 |
| bobenhaus | hello. is there a way to create a shortcut from a folder that resides on a NAS? | 00:23 |
| bobenhaus | all these peoples and nobody talking | 00:24 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, i think i already gave you the answer to that | 00:24 |
| ikonia | bobenhaus: people are talking | 00:24 |
| bobenhaus | oh sorry didnt see that. my apologize | 00:24 |
| WoC | No worries, bobenhaus :) | 00:24 |
| mukaibot | bobenhaus: not everyone knows the answer to every question! | 00:24 |
| mukaibot | I have a KVM problem which no-one wanted to bite at ;) | 00:25 |
| bobenhaus | WoC: I just have a music folder on a NAS that I would like to create a shortcut to my desktop just like in windows is all :) | 00:25 |
| magicJ | ikonia: that is what I was worried about - how do I know which ones and why is this not a big security risk? | 00:25 |
| bobenhaus | lol | 00:25 |
| ikonia | magicJ: trust the people who made the build | 00:25 |
| WoC | fortunatley some of us do have some of the answers to some of the questions ;) and some even know how to spell ;) | 00:25 |
| bobenhaus | Woc: Sounds like me lol | 00:26 |
| magicJ | ikonia: OK - so how does trust help - what stops these ports being accessible ? | 00:26 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: you're question, looks like your forwarding is not setup correctly, if you can ssh in, your incoming nat seems ok, but looks like you're out going it not setup | 00:26 |
| ikonia | magicJ: you trust the people that made the build took reasonable security concerns into consideration | 00:26 |
| bobenhaus | Woc: Can I create a shortcut on my desktop and then tell the NAS the path? | 00:26 |
| magicJ | ikonia: but what could that be if there is a shell login defined? | 00:27 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: if I'm using a bridged configuration, doesn't that remove the need for NAT? | 00:27 |
| Danny_Joris | Hi - I'm having trouble pinging my ubuntu VM from my host (snow leopard) . If I do ifconfig, I see eth0 has an IP assigned to it, but I can't ping it. (timeout) It does work at work, but not at home. Could there something be wrong in my /interfaces file? I've set eh0 as a static IP | 00:27 |
| ikonia | magicJ: a shell of /bin/sh does not mean it can login | 00:27 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, i havent actually used NAS but i figured it would be something similar to nfs, where a sym-link would be possible | 00:28 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: can you please post ifconfig from both machines? | 00:28 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: sorry, nat was a bad wording choice, you still need your connection "forwarded" though | 00:28 |
| bobenhaus | Woc: Its just a share on a network | 00:28 |
| osmosis | need some help. After I login, i get a blank desktop...no way to launch an application. have to power off and reset. How do I fix? Is gnome corrupt? | 00:28 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: can you elaborate on 'forwarding'? | 00:28 |
| bobenhaus | WoC: I get error when trying to create a sym link :( | 00:29 |
| magicJ | ikonia: aha - why does it not - what could stop it - I guess that is what I am really asking. Surely if I have sshd enabled - which I do for an account I need then sshd is there and somone could login if they knew the user name and password | 00:29 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, chances are you might have to make a desktop file for it | 00:29 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: sure, if you have an ip address of 10.1.1.1 on your virtual guest, and it needs to use 192.168.24.1 to do a dns lookup, you'll either need ipforwarding setup, or a routed system to get it from network a to b and back | 00:29 |
| veryhappy | can someone please help me with my graphics issue? | 00:29 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: everything is on the same subnet | 00:29 |
| bobenhaus | Woc: hmm not sure how to do that stuff yet but learning. | 00:29 |
| ikonia | magicJ: what user accounts are you worried about ? | 00:29 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: should the bridge have an IP address too? | 00:30 |
| bobenhaus | Woc: error while creating a linki to music; The target doesnt support symbolic links | 00:30 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: ok - so you don't need a bridged network card if they are all in the same subnet | 00:30 |
| ikonia | there is no need to bridge | 00:30 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: I'm a networking noob - there's no safety risks posting my hosts ifconfig? | 00:30 |
| nivyaj | i'm getting an error when I'm tryuing to set an enviromnent variable: I write export SCALA_HOME= "/home/nivjay/bin/scala-2.9.1/bin" and i get that: it's not a valid identifier | 00:31 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: the documentation says otherwise | 00:31 |
| nivyaj | wth?!?!? | 00:31 |
| ikonia | nivyaj: remove the sapce | 00:31 |
| ikonia | space | 00:31 |
| magicJ | ikonia: all the early ones that the install set up - games, bin, daemon, etc | 00:31 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking | 00:31 |
| ikonia | nivyaj: SCALE_HOME="/home/nivjay/bin/scala-2.9.1/bin" | 00:31 |
| nivyaj | ikonia: UGH | 00:31 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, another way would be to add it to your rc.local and having it mounted automatic each boot and just make a sym-link on your desk to where ever you mounted it | 00:31 |
| nivyaj | thanks | 00:31 |
| ikonia | magicJ: they are locked accounts | 00:31 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: you can post it | 00:31 |
| xSmurf | anyone has some experience with initramfs hooks? I want to understand how the cryptroot cryptpassdev and cryptgnupg hooks work I'm not too sure what gets called when | 00:31 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: they will just be private addresses - we can't access them via the internet | 00:32 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: which part are you looking at on that page | 00:32 |
| xSmurf | does the update tool only put them in the init script when they are defined in grub? | 00:32 |
| bobenhaus | WOC: I can see the NAS via the filemanger but I just want to create a shortcut thats the problem. | 00:32 |
| bobenhaus | ok | 00:32 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: http://pastebin.com/cqEdg9XY | 00:32 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: https://skitch.com/dannyjoris/g63yf/smithsonian-vm-running | 00:33 |
| Danny_Joris | ah shit | 00:33 |
| magicJ | ikonia: that's what I wanted to understand I guess - how are they locked? | 00:33 |
| ikonia | Danny_Joris: easy on the language please. | 00:33 |
| Danny_Joris | ikonia: sorry | 00:33 |
| mukaibot | lol | 00:33 |
| ikonia | magicJ: by locking them (that's what it's called) it stops them being usable as a login account | 00:33 |
| nivyaj | ikonia: when i write$ source /etc/environment I know it "sources" the changes... what does that mean? | 00:33 |
| ikonia | nivyaj: re-reads the information in that file | 00:34 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: your subnets are different | 00:34 |
| mukaibot | that's why you can't ping the hosts | 00:34 |
| magicJ | ikonia: OK - but how does one LOCK an account - I guess that is really the question I cam coming to | 00:34 |
| nivyaj | ikonia: so recompliles it? | 00:34 |
| ikonia | nivyaj: no, just re-reads it | 00:34 |
| ikonia | magicJ: essentials sets no valid password for it, so you can't login | 00:34 |
| magicJ | ikonia: and what about games, is that locked? | 00:34 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: ^ I don't want user networking, I want bridged | 00:34 |
| ikonia | magicJ: yes, it's locked | 00:34 |
| Krywk | I need help. | 00:34 |
| === cis is now known as CIS | ||
| ikonia | mukaibot: why ? you have nothing to bridge, it's on the same subnet | 00:35 |
| Krywk | Well, first of all, hi :P | 00:35 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: bridging is for joining two networks together, you are on the same network, there is nothing to bridge | 00:35 |
| magicJ | ikonia: TY - that's what I wanted to know - and so I assume that the root is that way too, yes? And, if I wanted to set one that way myself how would I set what you call "no valid password" | 00:35 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: because I want each guest to run daemons, and don't want to create firewall rules | 00:35 |
| ikonia | magicJ: root is already locked | 00:36 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: you don't need bridging for that | 00:36 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: again - you have nothing to bridge | 00:36 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: Bridged networking allows the virtual interfaces to connect to the outside network through the physical interface, making them appear as normal hosts to the rest of the network. | 00:36 |
| mukaibot | according to the documentation | 00:36 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: yes, that is correct | 00:36 |
| magicJ | ikonia: This is GREAT - TY - so, if I wanted to set a "locked" one, how would I set "no valid password" | 00:36 |
| Krywk | Well, my problem is this one: I'm trying to use RecordMyDesktop. It records video fine, but not audio. It records it, but it has REALLY low volume, and an annoying sound. I can't fix it with audacity, so I figured I'd be searching Google for solutions, or make my own. But no success. Anyone know any possible solutions? | 00:37 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: usermode networking: In the default configuration, the guest operating system will have access to network services, but will not be visible to other machines on the network. The guest will be able, for example, to browse the web, but will not be able to host an accessible web server. | 00:37 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: and when I said you need to set that up with forwarding, you said you didn't need to as everything was on the same subnet | 00:37 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: if you want them to be visble to the outside world then you'll need to bridge and setup forwarding or "routing" to get traffic in/out of the bridged network | 00:37 |
| === mcl0vin_ is now known as mcl0vin | ||
| mukaibot | ikonia: so I *do* need bridged networking | 00:38 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: correct | 00:38 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: if you want to bridge your internal network to the outside world, you'll need to bridge | 00:38 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: you just told me I didn't | 00:38 |
| mukaibot | AHHHH | 00:38 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: because you told me you didn't want to connect to the outside world to see hosts, you said it was all in the same subnet | 00:38 |
| mukaibot | ok, that makes sense | 00:38 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: if everything is in the same subnet for communication then you don't need to bridge | 00:38 |
| mukaibot | ok, so how should I configure my guests then? | 00:39 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: if you need to see outside that subnet you need to bridge a physical device to get out | 00:39 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: you should configure your guests interfaces to use the bridged device, and then setup the correct forwarding/routing rules | 00:39 |

| Krywk | Anyone have any idea of what's going on? | 00:39 |
| ikonia | Krywk: in what respect ? | 00:40 |
| Krywk | Uhh, whaddya mean "In what respect"? | 00:40 |
| ikonia | Krywk: "whats going on" - in regard to what ? | 00:40 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, so it works like a windows share ? | 00:40 |
| Krywk | Copy-paste: Well, my problem is this one: I'm trying to use RecordMyDesktop. It records video fine, but not audio. It records it, but it has REALLY low volume, and an annoying sound. I can't fix it with audacity, so I figured I'd be searching Google for solutions, or make my own. But no success. Anyone know any possible solutions? | 00:40 |
| ikonia | no idea | 00:40 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: would that be netmask ? | 00:41 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: so what do I need iptables to do then? | 00:41 |
| Krywk | Anyone here using this program, or know another Screen Recording program, with audio? | 00:41 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: netmask 0xffffff00 ? | 00:41 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: no | 00:41 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, if so, you could just mount it using smbclient | 00:41 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: handle your routing/forwarding | 00:41 |
| syddraf | Krywk: I've never used that program before, but the best bet is to check alsamixer, etc to see if an input channel is low. | 00:41 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: one host as a 192.168.1.x address, the other has 192.168.2.x | 00:41 |
| acerimmer | Krywk: what kind of mic? Laptop mounted or...? | 00:42 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: now I'm confused. There's no routing because it's the same subnet. | 00:42 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: there is routing | 00:42 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, the man page for smbclient shows how you can set up user/password so it doesnt show up when you use 'ps' | 00:42 |
| Krywk | acerimmer, not a mic, I want to record the computer's sound, which the program is doing, but that's the problem: Little to no sound and a really annoying sound. | 00:42 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: if you are on 192.168.24.10 and you want to hit the internet on 80.84.32.122 - that is routing/fowarding | 00:42 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: that is not the same subnet | 00:42 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: Yes I know. But I thought we had just covered the fact that all my guests are on the same subnet | 00:43 |
| Cube``_ | guys, i'm having a huge problem with my usb stick that i cannot fix. it doesnt work, when i try to format it with gparted it says "unrecognized disk label". | 00:43 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: then you don't need bridging | 00:43 |
| Krywk | syddraf, All things are up to maximum in alsamixer | 00:43 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: sigh. | 00:43 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: never mind | 00:43 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: there is no routing if all your guests are on the same subnet - there is no routing | 00:43 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: do you want your guests to see the internet yes/no ? | 00:43 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: yes | 00:43 |
| syddraf | Krywk: Not sure what to say then. Sorry. | 00:43 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: then there IS routing | 00:43 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: but they only need to get to my router's IP address | 00:44 |
| Krywk | syddraf, It's ok :) | 00:44 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: that's how your guests get out to the internet, they route out of the bridged devvice and back in | 00:44 |
| Krywk | Anyone know any other good program for recording screen video and sound? | 00:44 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: is your router on the same subnet as the private network ? | 00:44 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: yes | 00:44 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: so can your devices ping the router ? | 00:45 |

| jimearth | Hello there, can someone help me with the microphone ? It doesn't seem to be reconize by flash player... once I enter a flash chat room, it makes a weird sound and nobody can heard me. The webcam works great... but not the microphone. The microhpone works outside flash player. | 00:45 |
| jimearth | any idea ? | 00:46 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: I changed both broadcast and address in the vm to 1.x and now I can ping 1.x | 00:47 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: and at work I assume I'll have to switch it back to 2.x ? | 00:48 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: nope, it can't ping the host | 00:48 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: or the router | 00:48 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: what is the gateway ip address on the virtual machine ? | 00:48 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: I pinged the vm from my host | 00:48 |
| acerimmer | Krywk: I'm inclined to believe that it's a setting issue. | 00:48 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: great! So problem solved? | 00:48 |
| Krywk | acerimmer, Any suggestions? | 00:48 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: I guess so. I'll have to see how it works out when I'm back at work, but I know how to solve it now ! | 00:49 |
| acerimmer | Krywk: you're on what version of ubuntu?? | 00:49 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: the guest has my router's IP address | 00:49 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: Thanks so much !!! | 00:49 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot++ | 00:49 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: No worries. | 00:49 |
| Krywk | acerimmer, 11.10 | 00:49 |
| Danny_Joris | :) | 00:49 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: so on paper that should be fine, | 00:49 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: what ip address have you given the bridged device ? | 00:49 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: exactly! This is why it's so confusing | 00:49 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: bridged device on the guest, or on the host? | 00:49 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: there should be no bridged device on the guest, the host controls/owns the bridged device | 00:50 |
| acerimmer | Krywk: ok, it's going to be somewhat different than what I'm looking at on 10.04. I'd go to System>Preferences>Sound and play with the input/output and levels | 00:50 |
| mukaibot | ikonia: in the documentation, guest.xml has 'interface type=bridge', 'source=br0' | 00:50 |
| mukaibot | which is what I've done | 00:51 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: yes, that's telling the guest to use the physical device "br0" | 00:51 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: however br0 needs to be configured on the host | 00:51 |
| mukaibot | which is what I've done | 00:51 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: so what have you setup the ip address on br0 to be on the host | 00:51 |
| mukaibot | that has the ip 192.168.1.249 | 00:51 |
| ikonia | can you ping 192.168.1.249 from the guest ? | 00:51 |
| mukaibot | no | 00:51 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: can you ping 192.168.1.249 from the host | 00:51 |
| mukaibot | yeah | 00:52 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: ok, what is the ip address of the guest | 00:52 |
| mukaibot | 192.168.1.23 | 00:52 |
| mukaibot | I wonder if I should revert back to using the e1000 driver, rather than virtio | 00:52 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: then it is most likley your guest not being setup/configured properly to use the br0 device | 00:52 |
| ikonia | mukaibot: that is the most likley issue, and where you should be looking | 00:53 |
| mukaibot | bahahah - I think I figured it out | 00:53 |
| ikonia | do tell | 00:53 |
| mukaibot | hw address is different | 00:53 |
| ikonia | well done | 00:54 |
| mukaibot | oh wait | 00:54 |
| mukaibot | waaaait | 00:54 |
| mukaibot | in guest.xml, I can specify a hw address (which is what I've done) | 00:54 |
| mukaibot | should that match the bridge? | 00:54 |
| mukaibot | no right? | 00:54 |
| ikonia | that's for the virtual network card, it doens't matter what that is | 00:55 |
| ikonia | however I'll leave you to it as it's bed time here | 00:55 |
| mukaibot | ok, thanks for looking into this | 00:55 |
| magicJ | incase anyone was following my questions to ikonia on the issue of locked accounts and wonders what the answer was: the /etc/shadow file contains the crypted version of the password, if that field is set to * then no login is allowed | 00:57 |
| bobenhaus | anyone know how to remove read/write from a folder? | 00:59 |
| bobenhaus | chmod -r -w? | 00:59 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, you want it read only ? | 00:59 |
| Duvrazh | Can anyone recommend a good log analyzer for Ubuntu? | 01:00 |
| bobenhaus | Woc: I want to remove all permissions so I can delete the folder :) | 01:00 |
| zykotick9 | bobenhaus: "chmod <ugo>-rw /foo" u for user, g for group, o for other | 01:00 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: sorry to come back to this. I just realized that a lot of settings (hardcoded + db settings) involve the ip address. Is it safe to swtich my hosts broadcast from 1.x to 2.x ? | 01:00 |
| bobenhaus | hmm | 01:00 |
| WoC | rmdir removes any empty directory | 01:01 |
| bobenhaus | permission denied | 01:01 |
| WoC | do you own the directory ? | 01:01 |
| bobenhaus | yes | 01:01 |
| WoC | rm -rf [dir] | 01:01 |
| bobenhaus | I fixed it by typing sudo rmdir dirname | 01:01 |
| WoC | removes all suv-dirs/files | 01:02 |
| bobenhaus | yeah I forget the sudo :) | 01:02 |
| WoC | ah | 01:02 |
| bobenhaus | hah | 01:02 |
| bobenhaus | Woc: I'm trying to wrap my brain around linux command line | 01:02 |
| Krywk | acerimmer, no changes. | 01:02 |
| bobenhaus | apt-get etc.. | 01:02 |
| acerimmer | Krywk: Sorry, then. IDK. | 01:03 |
| WoC | i been using a shell for a while but im still new to apt | 01:03 |
| bobenhaus | Woc: Can I remove stuff from the tmp folder? | 01:03 |
| Krywk | acerimmer, :/ | 01:03 |
| bobenhaus | woc: is apt-get part of the unbuntu software center? | 01:03 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, yes but removing the wrong things may brake things | 01:03 |
| bobenhaus | woc: even from tmp folder? | 01:04 |
| WoC | yes | 01:04 |
| bobenhaus | ok | 01:04 |
| WoC | some uses /tmp for sockets and things | 01:04 |
| bobenhaus | woc: ok I wont touch | 01:04 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: on your Mac? | 01:04 |
| bobenhaus | woc: do you know the apt-get for firefox nightly? | 01:04 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: yeah | 01:05 |
| mukaibot | Danny_Joris: I'd look into the Locations feature then | 01:05 |
| mukaibot | you'd basically set up two profiles - work and home | 01:05 |
| WoC | bobenhaus, try apt-cache search, but i think that is a separate repo | 01:05 |
| mukaibot | work with the 192.168.2.x address, home with 192.168.1.x. Then you just toggle between them | 01:05 |
| bobenhaus | woc: ok | 01:06 |
| Danny_Joris | mukaibot: ah, I'd set that up in my vm? | 01:07 |
| WoC | bobenhaus; as for software center, it uses apt, not the other way around | 01:07 |

| franzks | Hello, I can't seem to play .mkv files on Ubuntu 11.10, I googled it and it seems a lot of users are experiencing the same problem but no one came up with a solution yet. Any ideas? I tried the default player, Banshee, and VLC | 01:24 |
| JacobVengeance | thetinyjesus, speed. less crap. | 01:25 |
| showtime | my live cd is new :( | 01:25 |
| zykotick9 | thetinyjesus: support offering for one. Using a distro that has more then one developer offers some advantages as well. | 01:25 |
| JacobVengeance | franzks, do you have all the extra codecs installed? | 01:25 |
| chipmonk | i am trying to use hdmi sound but the alsa driver modules stop at 2.6.35.30 and my kernel is 2.6.35-32 | 01:25 |

| thetinyjesus | hey | 01:25 |
| chipmonk | do i need to backup my kernel version? | 01:26 |
| chipmonk | how do i do dat | 01:26 |
| JacobVengeance | franzks, sometimes people use different audio/video codecs that can throw media players off. I always installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and vlc and everything works | 01:26 |
| franzks | I just write "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" ?? | 01:26 |

| JacobVengeance | broimfromafrika, sorry I am helping others in PM. Do you know what partition your Ubuntu install is on? sdX? | 01:39 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance: /dev/sda1 | 01:40 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance: sudo grub-install /dev/sda1 | 01:40 |
| JacobVengeance | What do you get from that? | 01:41 |
| krazed | What are a few decent alternatives to Konversation and XChat, I've used both extensively... looking for something that still has a decent GUI (no bitchx/irssi) but a new feel to it. Any suggestions? | 01:41 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance: usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). | 01:41 |
| zulax | is kernel 3.1 avaliable on 11.10 yet? | 01:42 |
| JacobVengeance | mount the hard disk in your computer | 01:42 |
| JacobVengeance | You could just do that using nautilus | 01:42 |
| bazhang | quassel comes to mind krazed you could also check in the package manager for others | 01:42 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance could do it lol | 01:42 |
| bazhang | !info linux | zulax | 01:43 |
| ubottu | zulax: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.0.15.17 (oneiric), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 all armel powerpc) | 01:43 |

| poyntz | Did Oneric scrap xorg.conf? | 01:43 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). | 01:43 |
| holstein | poyntz: you can put one in place... hasnt been one for a while actually | 01:43 |
| bazhang | poyntz, no, it was scrapped long before that | 01:43 |
| JacobVengeance | "mount /dev/sda1" in terminal | 01:43 |
| holstein | bazhang: 9.10? somewhere in there... | 01:44 |
| bazhang | holstein, could be, I've lost track | 01:44 |
| zulax | thanks , i was hoping to get rid of the overheating issue, looks like i need to wait | 01:44 |
| poyntz | holstein, bazhang : if I give you a pastebin of a file I tried to make in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/, can you tell me if it's screwing up my OS? | 01:44 |
| holstein | poyntz: i usually put them in /etc/X11 | 01:45 |
| zulax | when firefox with flash runs on my HP, it cause heat pollution and noise pollution | 01:45 |
| poyntz | holstein: even something like this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/829548/ | 01:45 |
| holstein | zulax: what graphics card? | 01:45 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /media/1ed22630-3df3-48d5-aee6-e95b67376d56 mount failed | 01:45 |

| ses1984 | i am about to install 11.10 and i was wondering if the installer will partition my ssd correctly, i heard partitioning an ssd optimally and correctly | 01:46 |
| holstein | poyntz: im not sure.. ive never specified for Xbox, and ive never use that location | 01:46 |
| ses1984 | often involves tweaking the start and end points of the partition precisely | 01:46 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance: I'm on liveUSB with UnetBootin | 01:46 |
| holstein | ses1984: if you are worried, do it manually | 01:46 |
| poyntz | holstein: can you pastebin an example of something you'd put in /etc/X11/, including the filename? | 01:46 |
| JacobVengeance | broimfromafrika, that is what I use to do my installations and I have used it in the past to fix things. | 01:46 |
| soicon | zulax: decreasing the cpu freq may help | 01:47 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance: Oneiric? | 01:47 |
| zulax | soicon, how do i do that? | 01:47 |
| holstein | poyntz: i typically run a knoppix live CD, ad just steal it from there | 01:47 |

| holstein | maybe editing a bit | 01:47 |
| poyntz | holstein: what are you stealing from there? | 01:47 |

| JacobVengeance | broimfromafrika, I am way back on lucid. I have Oneiric on USB drive somewhere though, but this is my only computer, so I cannot see if its the image that has an issue. | 01:48 |
| soicon | zulax: there is an applet called CPU freq scaling monitor | 01:48 |
| zulax | ok | 01:48 |
| holstein | poyntz: there are plenty of ways to do it, but this way i get to see in on my screen, and know what im aiming for | 01:48 |
| holstein | see it* | 01:48 |
| broimfromafrika | jacob: lucid is ubuntu 9? | 01:48 |
| poyntz | holstein: there's no xorg.conf file in my /etc/X11/ folder | 01:49 |

| Darek_ubu99 | Hello is it any good fix for overheating ATI card on my laptop ? I tryed to reinstall drivers from that from ATI website, PowerPlay is enabled but my GPU still have 70 degrees . Somebody can help me ? | 01:49 |
| zykotick9 | broimfromafrika: lucid is 10.04LTS | 01:49 |

| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance: My partition is read only | 01:49 |
| holstein | poyntz: correct.. there shouldnt be.. but you just put one in there, and it'll be read | 01:49 |
| quentusrex_ | Why are there no longer any alsa-driver-modules packages for 11.10? | 01:49 |
| soicon | zulax: add it to your panel, add it twice (on duo-core laptop) to get 2 active applet then configure each applet. | 01:49 |
| zulax | it says not alowed due to config file soicon | 01:49 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance /dev/sda1 is readonly. | 01:49 |
| poyntz | holstein: suro Xorg -configure? - does that generate a xorg.conf file? | 01:50 |
| chipmonk | i am trying to use hdmi sound but the alsa driver modules stop at 2.6.35.30 and my kernel is 2.6.35-32 | 01:50 |
| poyntz | *sudo | 01:50 |
| chipmonk | do i need to backup my kernel version? | 01:50 |
| holstein | poyntz: you can use the recovery kernel too... but that never really worked that well for me | 01:50 |
| poyntz | holstein: Xorg -configure was throwing errors for me :( | 01:50 |
| holstein | poyntz: yup.. thats why i just get a live CD running like i want, and grab it from there | 01:51 |
| broimfromafrika | JacobVengeance /dev/sda1 is readonly. is that the cause? | 01:51 |
| broimfromafrika | broimfromafrika, try this one | 01:51 |
| holstein | chipmonk: you could "downgrade" | 01:51 |
| holstein | chipmonk: might be a backport though | 01:51 |
| poyntz | holstein: how do you work out what values to put in your Xorg.conf? | 01:51 |
| JacobVengeance | broimfromafrika, yes. | 01:52 |
| broimfromafrika | jacobvengeance: how do i make it rw? | 01:52 |
| holstein | poyntz: i literally just steal the entire file and drop it right in... sometimes i edit the driver line if i want to troubleshoot something | 01:52 |
| chipmonk | aside from grabbing at grubb is there another way to downgrade kernel | 01:53 |
| broimfromafrika | how.to.mount./dev/sda1.rw? | 01:53 |
| poyntz | holstein: what OS is on your live CD? | 01:53 |
| holstein | chipmonk: sure, i would probably seek a .deb and install it.. | 01:53 |
| broimfromafrika | !patience | broimfromafrika | 01:54 |
| ubottu | broimfromafrika, please see my private message | 01:54 |

| soicon | zulax: you may try to play with the command-line version of the tool | 01:55 |
| zulax | soicon, on terminal it tells connection ":1.107" is not allowed | 01:55 |

| dtmbmw325i | was ./configure disabled or something in oneric? | 01:57 |
| holstein | broimfromafrika: sudo mount should work fine for you... you can chown if you need | 01:57 |
| soicon | zulax: no it would not | 01:57 |
| broimfromafrika | holstein what's the command for change ownership? | 01:57 |
| soicon | zulax: cpufreq-selector , try this tool | 01:57 |
| holstein | broimfromafrika: chown is what i would use... thats why i suggested it | 01:57 |
| zulax | did that, is it cause i m on unity? | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | dtmbmw325i: ./configure is a way to run a command often shipped with the source of applications. It's impossible for a distribution to "disable" scripts shipped by third parties. What problem are you having and what are you trying to accomplish? | 01:58 |
| broimfromafrika | how to use it from liveusb? ummmm | 01:58 |
| holstein | broimfromafrika: it? | 01:58 |
| soicon | zulax: well, you should use the commandline tool, I'm not sure about unity cause I'm still on 10.04 | 01:58 |
| broimfromafrika | you got no user on liveusb | 01:58 |
| broimfromafrika | holstein: chown | 01:58 |
| holstein | ubuntu should be a user, and they'll be root | 01:58 |
| holstein | sudo -s | 01:58 |
| holstein | then, whatever you need to do should work | 01:59 |
| zulax | ok, maybe its broken on 11.10 , i m googling but not much info | 01:59 |
| JacobVengeance | broimfromafrika, there is Disk Utility | 01:59 |
| holstein | broimfromafrika: are you recovering grub? | 01:59 |
| broimfromafrika | holstein: yes | 01:59 |

| holstein | broimfromafrika: thats actually for my reference | 01:59 |
| dtmbmw325i | jordan, dropbox beta requires compiling from source. I created /home/user/Dropbox and un-tared the archive there. When I run ./configure it says no such file or directory | 02:00 |

| dtmbmw325i | sorry Jordan_U I meant | 02:01 |
| soicon | zulax: -c n, n is the cpu number, 0 1 2 3 4.... | 02:01 |
| holstein | if you cant mount, sudo mount it.. if you have a permissions error, chown it.. sudo make it work... its not trivial, but its not that bad either | 02:01 |
| komarek | hi | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | dtmbmw325i: Did you cd into the source directory first? | 02:01 |

| Franky | Hey, I have a quick question. Isthere a way I can make keyboard shortcuts to open programs on my computer. For example: I want to make Gwibber open when I press a key (like ctl l or something) | 02:02 |
| JacobVengeance | Before I go ahead and make the jump, is there any issues with upgrading from Lucid to Oneiric? | 02:02 |
| holstein | broimfromafrika: tough? | 02:02 |
| zulax | so for dual core should i do it again with -c 1? soicon | 02:02 |
| soicon | zulax: yes | 02:02 |
| dtmbmw325i | Jordan_U, I am in ~/Dropbox$ | 02:02 |
| zulax | soicon, is there a way to verify it worked? | 02:02 |
| soicon | zulax: one for -c 0 and one for -c 0 | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | dtmbmw325i: What guide are you following? | 02:02 |
| holstein | JacobVengeance: i wouldnt... AFAIK, you cant.. you can go from lucid to precise when the time comes | 02:03 |
| Franky | Is there a way I can make keyboard shortcuts to my favorite programs on my computer? | 02:03 |

| soicon | zulax: you could see that your pc now is slower :P | 02:04 |
| broimfromafrika | pastebinit packages = pastebin? | 02:04 |
| MadOtis | Hello, all. I'm trying to install 11.10 and 10.04 (either one, at this point) on a brand new laptop. It's got an AMD A8-3520M processor with Radeon HD 6620G video... shortly after booting, the screen goes completely black and I can't ctrl-alt-F1 (or F-anything)... | 02:04 |
| soicon | zulax: and less hot | 02:04 |
| holstein | broimfromafrika: not following you... if you are recovering grub, when you get it recovered, id just reboot and see that it is working | 02:04 |
| zulax | soicon, could be, what is the downside of reducing the frequency | 02:04 |
| broimfromafrika | holstein, it asks me if i want some pastebinit package | 02:04 |
| broimfromafrika | I'm a lil bit discombambulated about it | 02:05 |
| MadOtis | I've googled and tried removing the splash and quiet and added args like xforcevesa... but no luck. | 02:05 |
| divadgnol67 | franky, what DE are you using? | 02:05 |
| broimfromafrika | I think i want them | 02:05 |
| soicon | zulax: slow computer :P | 02:05 |
| zulax | ok, i wouldnt mind that, cause it gets terribly hot | 02:05 |
| holstein | broimfromafrika: it? | 02:05 |
| Franky | divadgnol67: Xubuntu XFCE | 02:05 |
| MadOtis | anyone have any other suggestions to try and get it installed? | 02:05 |
| broimfromafrika | holstein: The pastebinit packages | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | dtmbmw325i: Please pastebin the output of "ls". | 02:05 |
| broimfromafrika | holstein: cmdline pastebin client | 02:05 |
| holstein | broimfromafrika: if you want to pastebin something from the command line, you'll need that, otherwise, its got nothing to do with grub | 02:06 |
| Franky | Mad0tis: what are you trying to do? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention :P | 02:07 |
| holstein | MadOtis: i would try safe graphics mode... 'nomodeset' i think it is now | 02:07 |
| MadOtis | Franky: install a new laptop | 02:07 |
| MadOtis | holstein: thanks, I'll give that a shot... brb | 02:07 |
| ksx4system | why can't I have Firefox (Aurora, daily build) and Iceweasel (from Ubuntu repos) at the same time? | 02:07 |
| Franky | Mad0tis: ah, okay. got it. I'm not sure :P sorry. I'm kinda a newbie. | 02:07 |
| holstein | ksx4system: didnt know you couldnt.. whats the error | 02:08 |
| Franky | How do I make keyboard shortcuts to programs on my computer???? | 02:08 |
| zulax | soicon, on cpu info, i get grahics driver as unknown | 02:08 |
| MadOtis | Franky: I am to Ubuntu, too... been using Gentoo for years and want something that isn't going to break every week or so, now | 02:08 |
| zulax | never realized that, how do i get a driver for it | 02:08 |
| holstein | Franky: what operating system?... ubuntu? xubuntu? 11.01? | 02:08 |
| holstein | 11.10* | 02:08 |
| Franky | holstein: xubuntu | 02:09 |
| ksx4system | holstein: after apt-get install iceweasel I get usual three lines and then "Note, selecting 'firefox instead of 'iceweasel' " | 02:09 |
| ksx4system | holstein: then it tells me that I have latest possible Firefox (which is true - I've just hit apt-get upgrade) | 02:09 |
| Franky | Mad0tis: lol, yeah. I would recommend Xubuntu. Super speedy and kind of like windows. :) | 02:09 |
| dtmbmw325i | Jordan_U, try this http://pastebin.com/qViNkdZD | 02:09 |
| holstein | Franky: see if this works http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=5978 see also the #xubuntu channel.. those folks are awesome! | 02:09 |
| holstein | ksx4system: they *are* quite similar... not sure what to suggest there.. you can always build one, and keep it isolated i suppose.. | 02:10 |
| divadgnol67 | Franky, edit the file /usr/share/xfwm4/themes/default.keys/keythemerc I think. | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | dtmbmw325i: Try dropbox specific support or just stick with packaged versions. | 02:11 |
| xSmurf | hmpf mkinitrd isn't installed? where can I find it or what was it moved to?? | 02:11 |
| Franky | holstein: Alrighty. got it. Thank you for your help today. BTW: I did figure out the whole space issue from earlier today. Turns out, all I had to do was reinstall everything and resize the ext4 partition | 02:11 |
| Franky | divadgnol67: k | 02:11 |
| Jordan_U | xSmurf: Ubuntu uses update-initramfs | 02:11 |

| fabiobik | how to make an reset of my ubuntu 11.10? | 02:31 |
| fabiobik | make it like fresh install | 02:31 |
| acerimmer | fabiobik: you mean the settings and configurations or the installed apps? | 02:31 |
| fabiobik | acerimmer: all | 02:32 |
| Stanley00 | fabiobik: maybe reinstall reinstall | 02:32 |
| fabiobik | Stanley00: is that an command? | 02:32 |
| Stanley00 | fabiobik: no, I mean reinstall from live cd/usb | 02:33 |
| Liberty76 | /exit | 02:33 |
| acerimmer | fabiobik: you'll have to manually apt-get purge the apps you added. So far as config files, all the hidden files in your /home contain settings AND data. You could delete those, but be awar that any/all data will also go away | 02:33 |
| fabiobik | acerimmer: dont you think 11.10 has buggy | 02:34 |
| fabiobik | im trying to install zf but gives errors | 02:34 |
| acerimmer | fabiobik: I wouldn't know. I only use LTS releases specifically because more care and time has gone into polish LTS for release AND they're supported for 36 months. | 02:34 |
| acerimmer | !lts|fabiobik | 02:35 |
| ubottu | fabiobik: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 02:35 |
| scientes_ | someone update that | 02:35 |
| scientes_ | as it is wrong | 02:35 |
| scientes_ | its now 5 years for all supported packages | 02:35 |
| acerimmer | scientes_: as of 12.04 | 02:35 |
| fabiobik | ubottu: so you mean that is the stable | 02:35 |
| ubottu | fabiobik: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:35 |
| acerimmer | fabiobik: I wouldn't say (un)stable. Interim, i.e. non-LTS could be considered more cutting edge and experimental. You take some risks for the newest toys... | 02:36 |
| WoC | acerimmer, maybe less tested would be more accurate ? | 02:38 |
| acerimmer | WoC: semantics? but I do take your point. | 02:38 |

| tmhinkle | zykotick9: Oddly, now that I've played the DVD from Windows w/in ubuntu, it works in Ubuntu. | 02:52 |
| zykotick9 | mcl0vin: "sudo service networking restart" should work for most things - you'll get a warning message about deprecated, but it should work | 02:54 |

| ubottu | ben_: 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. | 02:59 |

| callen | Flannel: I didn't try yours, but the most common answer above *did* work. | 03:02 |

| ben__ | mcl0vin: have you checked the Ubuntu site? | 03:03 |
| acerimmer | mcl0vin: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ | 03:03 |

| bigterd | mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported ---- any ideas? | 03:03 |
| acerimmer | ben__: IDK. FWIW, I believe XFCE is a more mature platform. | 03:03 |
| mcl0vin | acerimmer: is it like 11.10 ? | 03:04 |
| JacobVengeance | I think both xfce and lxde are lacking. | 03:04 |
| ben__ | acerimmer: Okey dokey. Thank you. | 03:04 |
| acerimmer | mcl0vin: ??? | 03:04 |
| zykotick9 | ben__: lxde is lighter then xfce | 03:04 |
| acerimmer | mcl0vin: 10.10 was still using gnome. 11.10 introduced unity so you might get a different user experience | 03:05 |
| JacobVengeance | Im having a brain fart, what is the irc command to register a nick? | 03:05 |
| ben__ | JacobVengeance: xfce is kinda simple for me but it's pretty darn fast for my ancient computer. When I first got it, it had Windows 98 | 03:05 |
| mcl0vin | acerimmer: i had 10.4 and i installed 11.10 this morning and i can't stand 11.10 ...my question is the gui for 10.10 the same as 11.10 | 03:05 |

| bigterd | shortybsd, ubuntu's been cooperating, until recently. and it's only this one linux box. | 03:20 |
| shortybsd | bigterd, to be honest i just recently tried out the linux distribution of ubuntu, i am a unix and unix-based guy at heart. Ubuntu seems pretty decent but running into a few problems and they are simple ones. | 03:22 |
| LaFlakitaBnAsika | #ubuntu-es | 03:22 |
| bigterd | yeah, i agree. ubuntu is turning into windows. making it idiot proof to the point the simple stuff doesn't work right.... | 03:23 |
| WoC | shortybsd, the user running the screen session is the same as the user running something ? | 03:23 |
| shortybsd | i just like all the bloatied stuff to be honest, give me a console with no X and i am happy for the things i do. | 03:23 |

| shortybsd | it launches the server as root and not via screen it ignores the whole line in my sh script | 03:25 |

| dRounse | Franky: So heres what to do.... install lubuntu from the software center or synaptic, log out and sign on in Lubuntu or LXDE then go to synaptic and remove Xubuntu-desktop, and Xfce, it might say that you cannot | 03:38 |
| fizyplankton | Franky: iv tried both firefox and chrome (normal beta and dev) on both comps | 03:38 |
| dRounse | Franky: so i would download the ubuntu software center and remove from there, sometimes thats easy | 03:38 |
| dRounse | Franky: then use this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde | 03:39 |
| Franky | dRounse: Okay. I'll try that. I'm going to first test to see if I can get Ubuntu off and keep Xubuntu. Thank you | 03:39 |
| Franky | fizzyplankton: Try to look into your browser's settings. Perhaps you have a funky setting limiting the size of the pages? | 03:40 |
| dRounse | Franky: no problem..... you can remove ubuntu from xfce, type in google "pure xubuntu" and it will bring you to a similiar link i gave you but for xubuntu | 03:40 |
| Franky | dRounse: Can I just uninstall Ubuntu from Synaptic? | 03:40 |
| fizyplankton | Franky: neither comp nor browser has anything like that. when i used to use windows and chrome, it worked fine. and its not only a browser issue. ssh stdout/stderr, apport, mercurial, nothing uploads more than a few hundred bytes | 03:41 |
| fizyplankton | Franky: also, my username only has one z. type that so it pings me | 03:41 |

| holstein | duvel: whats the issue? | 03:46 |
| peeps[lappy] | if i do sudo add-apt-repository, is it supposed to go into /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:46 |
| duvel | my graphics performance is sub par, and i have 2x GTX 560's | 03:46 |
| WoC | duvel, is that nvidia ? | 03:46 |
| duvel | yes, nvidia = sli | 03:46 |
| duvel | crossfire = ati. | 03:46 |
| WoC | You know there is a #nvidia as well ? | 03:46 |
| zykotick9 | peeps[lappy]: nope, check /etc/apt/source.list.d/ (i think) | 03:46 |
| duvel | well no one said that | 03:46 |
| duvel | i asked the same question 50 times | 03:47 |
| duvel | with patience. | 03:47 |
| holstein | duvel: 4 times... | 03:47 |
| duvel | loldongs | 03:47 |
| holstein | 3 arguably *without* patients | 03:47 |
| WoC | sorry but im not rich enough to have an answer to sli issues | 03:47 |
| duvel | lol | 03:47 |
| holstein | anyways... it was the SLI that threw me | 03:47 |
| duvel | im in america, if you arent making money in america you're a douchebag. | 03:48 |
| holstein | if you have sub-par hardware, software is not likely to improve it all that much | 03:48 |
| WoC | or a lower enlisted | 03:48 |
| dRounse | duvel: watch the language | 03:48 |
| peeps[lappy] | zykotick9, do you know how to tell which repo an installed package comes from? | 03:48 |
| duvel | im running an i7-2700k processor, 16 gb of DDR3 ram, 2 EVGA GTX 560's , etc etc. my hardware is top notch | 03:49 |
| holstein | duvel: you can always try different kernels by loading up live CD's, and also trying the different graphics drivers available | 03:49 |
| dRounse | duvel: whats the point of all that hardware? | 03:49 |
| zykotick9 | peeps[lappy]: use "apt-cache policy foo" foo being the package name | 03:49 |
| duvel | i edit video and do graphic design | 03:49 |
| WoC | duvel, i trust you are running a 64 bit distro, right ? | 03:49 |
| duvel | of course | 03:50 |
| WoC | just checking, u be surprised | 03:50 |
| duvel | i understand ;) | 03:50 |
| dRounse | WoC: well he could be doing 32-bit | 03:50 |
| WoC | with 16 ? | 03:50 |
| holstein | sometimes, the realtime kernels can cause issues, are you using *-lowlatency ? or RT? | 03:50 |
| holstein | duvel: ^ | 03:50 |
| green | I'm having trouble booting to my second computer it says/root/dev failed no such file or directory and /root/sys failed no such file or directory any help? | 03:50 |
| duvel | holstein i have no idea. how can i check | 03:50 |
| dRounse | WoC: yes because Linux would switch to the PAE kernel allowing 64 gb of ram | 03:50 |
| duvel | so you're telling me I dont need to use 64 bit ubuntu? | 03:51 |
| WoC | but still no more than 3 gb per allocation unit | 03:51 |
| holstein | duvel: you can run uname -a in the terminal to see what kernel you are running, but the last time a kernel like that was in the repos was 10.04, so if you didnt install one, you dont have one | 03:51 |
| showtime | u want 64bit ! | 03:51 |
| duvel | holstein | 03:51 |
| Nerdus | Does anyone know a download manager program, a type GetRight windows for example?, Which is available for ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| dRounse | duvel: no you dont need to Ubuntu will only install PAE kernel if it detects you are using more than 4 gb of ram | 03:52 |
| WoC | only if you have need for more than 3 gb in one allocation unit, duvel | 03:52 |
| dRounse | and i prefer 32-bit | 03:52 |
| duvel | my point exactly. Ive been trying to load 10.04 ubuntu but the graphics drivers dont work!!!!!! | 03:52 |
| duvel | i detest unity | 03:52 |
| duvel | to the highest extent | 03:52 |
| hiexpo | 32 bit is actually better | 03:52 |
| * fizyplankton high fives duvel | 03:52 | |
| holstein | Nerdus: i use wget from the command line.. | 03:52 |
| dRounse | WoC: no the PAE kernel allows more than 3-4 GB of RAM | 03:52 |
| kaen | unrelated note: 12.04 kicks ass already | 03:52 |
| WoC | in one allocated segment ? | 03:52 |
| duvel | i have to reboot | 03:53 |
| duvel | i just updated | 03:53 |
| duvel | ill see if this works. | 03:53 |
| Nerdus | ok HOlstein thanks | 03:53 |
| Carolyn | Hi! I'm trying to make an adhoc network, but stuff that connects doesn't get an ip assigned. How can I turn on dhcp? | 03:53 |
| hiexpo | why no need to reboot ever unless you changing kerna l | 03:54 |
| dRounse | WoC: 32-bit allows 4 gb of ram, 64-bit allows 120 gb of ram, but the PAE kernel for 32-bit makes it a 36-bit, allowing for 64 gb of rma | 03:54 |
| dRounse | ram* | 03:54 |
| dragancho | hey | 03:55 |
| Carolyn | omg this should be easy for you guys!! | 03:55 |
| WoC | dRounse, I heard that the catch is that you can not allocated more than 3 gb ram in one block using pae | 03:55 |
| hiexpo | !pae | 03:55 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 03:55 |
| zykotick9 | dRounse: too bad PAE is a "hack" that has a negative impact regardless if your benefitting from additional ram or not... | 03:56 |
| duvel | okay, i'm back. | 03:56 |
| Nerdus | WOW, In this case 64 the system has greater capacity data management ok? dRounse? | 03:56 |
| dRounse | WoC: its not a hack, Ubuntu will auto kick in if it detects more than 3 gb of RAM, its a hack on windows | 03:56 |
| duvel | windows is a pile of garbage. | 03:56 |
| Carolyn | i beginning to think linux is a pice of garbage | 03:57 |
| holstein | duvel: some folks use windows here... | 03:57 |
| hiexpo | !windows | 03:57 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 03:57 |
| dRounse | Nerdus: Well yes because 64-bit can handle 120 gb, 32-bit can hand 3 or 4 | 03:57 |
| holstein | Carolyn: you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 03:57 |
| dragancho | Hello fellas, I m having problem on a PC build 4-5 years ago. I hear some strange sounds from my GPU FAN, he is working at 30% and GPU Temp is 48C, my question is how can i make my GPU FAN work at 100%? Best regards. | 03:57 |
| Carolyn | i tried those instructions holstein to the letter, but like I said all self assigned ip's on the clients | 03:58 |
| dRounse | Nerdus: but the PAE kernel makes it 36-bit, kinda | 03:58 |
| WoC | dRounse, I just use 64 bit for my lap, 4 gb ram, from what i can tell in the kernel document it actually _is_ faster | 03:58 |
| Carolyn | it's like there is no dhcp turned on in linux | 03:58 |
| dtmbmw325i | Carolyn, you can install dhcp3-server and see where it takes you | 03:58 |
| Chotaz | what web development IDe do you guys recommend? | 03:58 |
| Nerdus | system will have better performance? | 03:58 |
| Chotaz | PHP/JS | 03:58 |
| Nerdus | I think if I change the system that I use this machine for a 64-bit system will have better performance? | 03:58 |
| Chotaz | Nerdus: yes x86_64 is better than x86 | 03:59 |
| dRounse | WoC: yea but if you used 32bit youd be able to use that ram, i always use 32-bit even with more than 4 gb of ram | 03:59 |

| dtmbmw325i | !dhcp | 03:59 |
| ubottu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 03:59 |

| bobenhaus | should I remove the firefox ppa from the softare updater if getting cant find 404 error? | 03:59 |
| Nerdus | Chotaz :Thanks for the tip | 04:00 |
| holstein | duvel: sometimes, you compromise something using one or the other | 04:00 |
| dRounse | Chotaz: personally there is a lot more dev and time put into the 32-bit, so it usually works better | 04:00 |
| duvel | well | 04:00 |
| acerimmer | dragancho: fans are cheap. I'd say buy a new one | 04:00 |
| dRounse | Nerdus: id use 32-bit, less problems | 04:00 |
| duvel | lol^ | 04:01 |
| bobenhaus | when I do apt-get upgrade does that update with just the new updates that are available. or all of the software? | 04:01 |
| Nerdus | I'll try the system in 64-bit, see what I can win here | 04:01 |
| holstein | bobenhaus: not sure i follow... you get updated packages *if* there are any | 04:02 |
| mernilio | Greetings! men woman, woman and children! | 04:02 |
| bobenhaus | holstein: doing apt-get update is the same as doing the software manager in ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| zykotick9 | bobenhaus: "apt-get upgrade" installs all updates available from repo, that isn't new software. For the same as the GUI Update Manager, use "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" instead. | 04:02 |
| bobenhaus | zykotick9: thanks :) | 04:02 |
| holstein | bobenhaus: those are both package managers, and capable of managing your packages | 04:02 |
| mernilio | Im a certified ubuntu expert. So bring on your most difficult questions! | 04:03 |
| dRounse | bobenhaus: you get security updates and program updates for the repo, but after a repo isnt updated anymore you get nothing:( | 04:03 |
| bobenhaus | drounse: thanks | 04:03 |
| WoC | Nerdus, make sure u try some glx app in 64 bit | 04:03 |
| dRounse | mernilio: can you help with sys admin advice? | 04:03 |
| peeps[lappy] | mernilio, certified by whom | 04:03 |
| bobenhaus | mernilio: im getting a 404 error from software manager and if I type apt-get update . should I remove the source? | 04:03 |
| holstein | from what i read, dist-upgrade allows you to update packages across different repos and/or PPA's | 04:03 |
| mernilio | dRounse: sure! | 04:03 |
| Nerdus | ah ok WoC | 04:04 |
| bobenhaus | holstein: thanks | 04:04 |
| mernilio | peeps[lappy]: from the HQ in south africa. | 04:04 |
| zykotick9 | holstein: dist-upgrade basically translates to "really update everything" | 04:04 |
| mernilio | bobenhaus: im not sure. | 04:04 |
| bobenhaus | mernilio: the ppa for firefox is given me the error | 04:05 |
| zykotick9 | holstein: dist-upgrade is replaceable by full-upgrade, they're both the same command | 04:05 |
| peeps[lappy] | mernilio, OK i'll shoot. i'm using this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~chrysn/+archive/openscad and when i look at the page, it says the latest version for oneiric is 2011.12-1oneiric2 . but when i run apt-get update, and look at my latest version, it's 2011.09~git20110929-2oneiric1 any idea what's going on? | 04:05 |

| WoC | Nerdus, best way ;] then you can make your own opinion | 04:06 |
| zykotick9 | bobenhaus: you're missing the key. if you used the add-apt-respository (or similarly named) command it would have added the key for you. | 04:06 |

| bobenhaus | zykotick9: how do I fix it?? | 04:07 |
| Nerdus | WoC :That's right, you're right | 04:07 |
| holstein | bobenhaus: you could try sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable | 04:07 |
| holstein | see if it pulls in the key | 04:07 |
| bobenhaus | holstien | 04:07 |
| zykotick9 | bobenhaus: there's a command to manually fetch/install the key. but i don't personally feel like looking it up right now. good luck. | 04:07 |
| bobenhaus | ok | 04:07 |
| holstein | or, just go and maually get the key | 04:07 |

| dns53 | WoC there was one but it was not official, it was a regular ppc once it was installed | 04:24 |
| dark | apt-get update will update the list of packages, holstein | 04:24 |
| WoC | dns53, have you tried it ? | 04:24 |
| dark | it doesn't change installed packages at all | 04:25 |
| holstein | dark: right.. but it usually starts kicking out errors.. you can try "fix pacakges" in synaptic... try the aptitude curses GUI, or wait for others.. but if you have a more specific error message, you are likely to get help | 04:25 |
| dns53 | WoC yes a while ago, playstation updates have removed this feature so you might need a mod chip to be able to use it again | 04:26 |
| WoC | oh, ok. Thanks | 04:26 |
| zykotick9 | dark: if you actually have a "broken" package you can try, "sudo apt-get -f install" | 04:26 |

| thetinyjesus | can I ask why someone would want to use Irssi other than something to do | 04:29 |
| dark | zykotick9, the man page says this fixes "broken dependencies". would a corrupted file on a library (that is, inadvertently changed) be detected as "broken" during this procedure? (I am guessing no) | 04:29 |

| holstein | thetinyjesus: depends... i still google for some commands if i need.. for settings or whatever i have forgotten | 04:32 |
| massive__ | Ok. I did install gnome. But, nothing changed. So, I was wondering how to go back and forth if I wanted to. Thank you. | 04:33 |
| god-zotac | pfifo:: i don't yet, but i haven't rebooted the new kernel. i know that the custom kernel won't load the fglrx module that was built for a different kernel revision. | 04:33 |
| ses1984 | i have a system that hangs 50% of the way through installing updates. it hangs on "running dpkg". the entire system becomes screwed. the desktop apps start behaving wildly weird. how can i back out of this cleanly? | 04:33 |
| pfifo | metasansana, encrypt everything | 04:33 |
| holstein | massive__: you can logout, and choose there, in the greeter | 04:33 |
| whoever | ksx4system: you should be able to edit the build file , they probably conflict or build them from source | 04:33 |
| massive__ | Thanks holstein! :) | 04:33 |
| thetinyjesus | well like, if someone was to send me a messsage how would i know, i mean i know i can screen change alt-arrow or number but is there a way to tell | 04:33 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, you need to build fglrx from source | 04:33 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, after rebooting | 04:34 |
| fizyplankton | thetinyjesus: the status bar near the bottom has a [act: pink_window_number] for a ping, a white number for activity, and a grey number for just logon/off activity | 04:34 |
| god-zotac | pfifo:: ok so is there a particular way to do that on ubuntu? just download the tar.gz for fglrx or is there a way to use apt to grab and build the source code for my custom kernel? | 04:34 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, get your kernel working first, thats step #1 and you can have grub switch between the 2 for now | 04:34 |
| zykotick9 | thetinyjesus: do you mean notification, outside of irssi? Inside irssi, it colour indicates channel if your nick is used. | 04:35 |
| hex20dec | Can anyone help me setup my BIND DNS server please? | 04:35 |
| whoever | can someone assist with ligghttpd whosts the vhost kee/ giving me page cannot be displayed http://pastebin.com/ZPQj7BKs | 04:35 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, custom kernels and building from source are outside the realm of ubuntu | 04:35 |
| god-zotac | pfifo:: i know how to build a kernel and get it working, thats not the question i had. i want to know the recommended way to install fglrx from source for a custom kernel | 04:35 |
| fizyplankton | thetinyjesus: and if tou want outside of irssi notification, you can use screen and do ^a M | 04:35 |
| holstein | hex20dec: i iwould go ahead and get started, and ask more specific quiestions when you need... | 04:36 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, right, get your kernel ready and working, then build fglrx, the fglrx build will probbally bork your native fglrx, but hey, thats the idea right? | 04:36 |
| WoC | dns53, Seems like 10.10 is the last version, no server version though | 04:36 |
| god-zotac | regardless of the realm of ubuntu, i want to use ubuntu for compatibility of packages and a wide selection, and i don't want to compile everything from source, just my kernel and proprietary driver | 04:37 |
| god-zotac | it shouldn't break anything native, it should install the fglrx module to each kernel lib | 04:37 |
| hex20dec | holstein I would, but here are so many problems and I have read a lot of articles about how to set it up and it's really complicated. I was hoping someone would help me set it up for the basics by simplifying things a bit. | 04:37 |
| AndroUser | Hey im using mint debian. Just installed kde and it doesnt seem like its detecting my wireless card any more. Any ideas? | 04:38 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, ive never tried, but im guessing Xorg will complain | 04:38 |
| hex20dec | holstein there* | 04:38 |
| god-zotac | as with installing any other kind of module.. i'm not exactly new at anything here. im just wondering what the recommended way for installing proprietary drivers in ubuntu is if you use a custom kernel | 04:38 |
| god-zotac | using a custom kernel with ubuntu in combination with proprietary drivers shouldn't be that uncommon, or at least i wouldn't think it would be | 04:38 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, the 'recommended' way for ubuntu is to NOT do what your doing ;) use the gentoo way | 04:39 |
| holstein | hex20dec: other than pointing you to some documentation, im not going to be more helpful.. you could try the mailing lists/forums, or some of the server channels | 04:39 |
| urlin2u | AndroUser, mint debian on the ubuntu support channel now what's wrong with this statement. :) | 04:39 |
| green | I'm having trouble booting to my second computer it says/root/dev failed no such file or directory and /root/sys failed no such file or directory any help? | 04:39 |

| WoC | god-zotac, thats wht i am doing, i just put a hold on one installed generic kernel to prevent it from being updated, removed all others but one that i customized myself | 04:39 |

| god-zotac | WoC do you use fglrx? | 04:40 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, you can build a custom kernel and fglrx no problem, in case you havent seen it before make ubottu list the info for '!kernel' | 04:40 |
| WoC | Nope, no ati hw at all | 04:40 |
| hex20dec | holstein: thanks a lot. =] | 04:40 |
| blackbox | does anybody know of any free CAD based software that will allow me to do the equivalent of what autocad, pro engieer, and now CATIA can do. | 04:41 |
| WoC | !kernel | 04:41 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 04:41 |
| god-zotac | pfifo:: blah.. | 04:41 |
| god-zotac | - pfifo | 04:41 |
| god-zotac | that is wrong, if you have a need for a custom kernel, then you will need to compile your own | 04:42 |
| holstein | blackbox: what can they do?... blender is popular, and quite well supported | 04:42 |
| WoC | in my case, i cant use the generic kernel after 3.2.0-10, the config changed | 04:42 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, there really is nothing more that can be recommended besides that.. i would check gentoo wiki or LFS book | 04:42 |
| god-zotac | i.e. specific iptables / netfilter settings | 04:42 |
| lorddelta | Any startup gurus in here? I want to know why gnome-panel is starting up when I run kde (from kdm, too) | 04:42 |
| god-zotac | gentoo / lfs doesn't tell about compatibiltiy issues with .deb packages or things being broken later | 04:43 |
| AndroUser | Blackbox i dont remember of the top of my head but there is a website with loads of alternate apps for linux. Google it... cant be too hard to find | 04:43 |
| lorddelta | I seem to remember editing some system file a long time ago, but that was before I knew what /etc/ was, or most of the configuration stuff... | 04:43 |
| blackbox | but blender or (the payed version maya) or not CAD based programs like auto cad ,... I am more interested in architecture not 3D animation/pixel art | 04:43 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, no, if you need some kind of netfilter setings in the kernel you file a bug report and let the devs release a new kernel covering it, yeah i know thats not really the fastest way, but debian isnt really made you be uber customizable. | 04:44 |
| lorddelta | I'd be even more appreciative if someone could let me know a method to figure this out on my own that doesn't involve me reading 10 different init manuals... | 04:44 |
| blackbox | things that engineers , architect , and blue print designer would use | 04:44 |
| blackbox | not 3D moive an animators | 04:45 |
| god-zotac | pfifo:: such encouragement of why not to use ubuntu/debian :) | 04:45 |
| holstein | blackbox: other than pointing you here http://www.tech-edv.co.at/05_LUnIx/80_CAD~2f3d/10_CAD~20Links/index.php where you've probably been, youd just need to start trying some FOSS alternatives | 04:45 |
| holstein | i have not needed to do CAD, though i work with ubuntustudio and we are interested in supporting that workflow, assuming we had users to test | 04:46 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, Im sure you use it for the same reason as many of use, no hassle installs of a stable system | 04:46 |
| god-zotac | a custom kernel is all i am wanting, i dont care about optimized cflags for userland packages | 04:46 |
| blackbox | thanks I think that is what I needed | 04:46 |
| holstein | feel free to join https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users and/or https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel blackbox | 04:46 |
| god-zotac | pfifo:: fyi i am very well experienced with gentoo/funtoo ;) | 04:46 |
| holstein | blackbox: we have a channel too #ubuntustudio ... but again, you'll be helping us help folks like yourself, probably not finding help there necessarily | 04:47 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, really, other than what ubottu said about !kernel, there isnt too much else to say, no one really uses custom kernels unless they have to. anyway like i said, the way to go is to get the kernel running, then build fglrx. and hope you dont break anything along the way ;) | 04:48 |
| blackbox | sure I will take a look some time I appreciate the help holstein | 04:48 |
| pfifo | god-zotac, if you know dpkg/apt well you could fetch the kernel sources from the repos and start with the official patched source of the kernel of you choice | 04:49 |
| pfifo | (thats covered in that link) | 04:49 |
| god-zotac | pfifo:: is there an apt command that will pull the fglrx sources and build it based on the running kernel, and keep a record of the .deb file for installation? | 04:49 |

| bugbrains | how to make bootable os x usb drive using ubuntu | 04:57 |
| urlin2u | jenders, you mean a standard upgrade, not a distro? | 04:57 |
| zykotick9 | jenders: the linux-image-server will just point to the current version, the one with the actually version number | 04:58 |
| WoC | jenders, afaik you are correct as to the kernel | 04:58 |
| sonalo5 | exit | 04:59 |

| bugbrains | how to make bootable os x usb drive using ubuntu | 05:00 |
| jenders | I am now wondering if perhaps, linux-image-server "owned" the files in /boot and during upgrade, the files were removed and replaced with newer files also owned by the linux-image-server package | 05:00 |
| urlin2u | jenders, only on a distro upgrade that I know of. | 05:00 |

| zykotick9 | bugbrains: you'd probably get more input from an apple channel (if one exists) | 05:01 |
| urlin2u | jenders, the sources list would change yes but distro upgrade would be like 11.04 to 11.10 m | 05:02 |
| === smickles is now known as smickles|idle | ||
| === smickles|idle is now known as smickles | ||
| jenders | i guess, there's fear here that the running kernel could be removed from disk during an upgrade. I'm trying to understand the mechanism that might instate that | 05:03 |
| zykotick9 | urlin2u: your "distro upgrade" is very close to dist-upgrade, which doesn't have anything to do with going from 11.04 to 11.10 (for example) | 05:03 |
| jenders | it doesn't seem like that would be a very good policy, but might make sense if one was tracking linux-image-server instead of a specific release | 05:03 |
| urlin2u | zykotick9, just using the same description distro upgrade I saw ikonia use today. :) | 05:04 |
| zykotick9 | jenders: upgrading a kernel, even to a new version, will not remove the old one (that has to be done manually) | 05:04 |
| urlin2u | zykotick9, I know the difference but thanks. :) | 05:05 |

| zykotick9 | jenders: well, centos wouldn't be my choice, but for a server it makes A LOT more sence then using ubuntu | 05:07 |

| damo22 | Russian: lspci -nnvv |grep VGA | 05:30 |
| WoC | Russian, looks like a HD card and a good one but i never seen it | 05:30 |
| Russian | WoC: oh, I already followed a guide to get my card working, and all was fine, until I rest the bios today and I got that black TTY screen before it loads the login window | 05:30 |
| WoC | oh | 05:30 |
| jenders | i'm typing to you from a MacBook Air so I am not GUI averse but I'm just wondering what the requirements are for | 05:30 |
| jenders | maybe you can use X forwarding | 05:30 |
| dRounse | jenders: well i think thats a lot easier personally | 05:30 |
| Russian | WoC: EVGA GTX 580 | 05:30 |
| WoC | not a SLI config is it ? | 05:30 |
| jenders | dRounse: it's a matter of taste, some things are easier and some things are more difficult | 05:30 |
| damo22 | Russian: you need the xxxx:xxxx vendor:device string | 05:31 |
| Russian | damo22: I did that, now what >.< | 05:31 |
| dRounse | i always mess things up in commandline and it would be a lot easier to set up with a gui | 05:31 |
| WoC | Russian, looks like damo22 might be able to assist | 05:31 |
| jenders | dRounse: I'd look into X11 Forwarding until you're more comfortable typing :) | 05:31 |
| Russian | WoC: Yeah, hope so, thanks a lot though | 05:31 |
| bustajustin | think im in the rigth room now | 05:32 |
| bustajustin | right* | 05:32 |
| dRounse | ok whats x11 forwarding? | 05:32 |
| WoC | np tovarish | 05:32 |
| dRounse | sorry im kind of a noob when it comes to servers | 05:32 |
| jenders | moment, let me find a decent tutorial | 05:32 |
| dRounse | and linux in general | 05:32 |
| Russian | damo22: so what must I do, I probably can get the string if I get what you are referring too | 05:32 |
| lotuspsychje | dRounse: teamviewer maybe | 05:32 |
| zykotick9 | dRounse: if your connecting from a machine with an Xserver, then you can open GUI applications (not the entire desktop) through SSH | 05:32 |
| jenders | ^ | 05:33 |
| jenders | that | 05:33 |
| damo22 | Russian: lspci -nnvv |grep "VGA controller" | 05:33 |
| dr_willis | ssh is handy in so many wwys | 05:33 |
| dRounse | ok i dont need the desktop, the applications | 05:33 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: and much safer then vnc or webmin | 05:33 |
| Russian | damo22: oke I did that | 05:34 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: still around? | 05:34 |
| jenders | ah, he was too late i was just going to paste this to him | 05:34 |
| jenders | http://www.craigryder.com/linux-ubuntudebetc/x11-forwarding-and-ssh-for-remote-linux-ubuntu-desktop/ | 05:34 |
| dr_willis | webmin and ubuntu tend to not work well .;) | 05:34 |
| lotuspsychje | indeed | 05:35 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: s/and ubuntu// ;) | 05:35 |
| damo22 | Russian: [xxxx:xxxx] should be on that line | 05:35 |
| Russian | damo22: oke, one sec | 05:35 |
| angie | wow | 05:36 |
| angie | this room is big | 05:36 |
| angie | is this working??? | 05:36 |
| zykotick9 | angie: we see you | 05:36 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 05:36 |
| angie | my first day to be here | 05:36 |
| angie | ja | 05:36 |
| angie | but no ones seems to talk? | 05:37 |
| zykotick9 | angie: do you have an ubuntu support question? if so, just ask. This isn't a channel for general chatting, it's support only. | 05:38 |
| angie | im figuring out how it works here | 05:38 |
| Russian | damo22: the service vendor string, is that the serial number or the part number? | 05:38 |
| angie | ahhhhh | 05:38 |
| angie | what is ubuntu? | 05:38 |
| zykotick9 | !ubuntu | 05:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 05:38 |
| Carolyn | yeah lotus, still working on this problem. | 05:39 |
| damo22 | Russian: all you have to do is run the command i told you and paste the output here lspci -nnvv |grep "VGA compatible" | 05:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: please repost your question, the real experts are in the house now | 05:39 |
| angie | wow thank you ubottu | 05:39 |
| Chotaz | !hosts | 05:39 |
| Chotaz | After changing the hosts file, how do I make the changes to take effect? | 05:39 |
| damo22 | Chotaz: its instant | 05:40 |
| scientes_ | where can i download the debian-installer images for arm? | 05:41 |
| Chotaz | damo22: would 127.0.0.1/site site.local work ? | 05:41 |
| Russian | damo22: like this? --> lspci -nnvv |grep [xxxx:xxxx] ? | 05:41 |
| damo22 | Russian: no, exactly like this: lspci -nnvv |grep "VGA compatible" | 05:41 |
| zykotick9 | Chotaz: i'd remove the "/site" and retry | 05:41 |
| Chotaz | zykotick9: that aprt already works but i have many sites on my www folder, how can I point to a specific one? | 05:42 |
| Russian | damo22: oke, I'll reboot brb thanks a lot | 05:43 |
| damo22 | Russian: no | 05:43 |
| zykotick9 | Chotaz: oh damb, i've done that before but don't remember how... sorry. For vhosts type stuff right? | 05:43 |
| xSmurf | anyone with experience with cryptsetup hooks? | 05:43 |
| damo22 | Russian: it wont do anything | 05:43 |
| Chotaz | zykotick9: exactly | 05:43 |
| xSmurf | shouldn't /lib/cryptsetup/askpass | echo # display the pass? | 05:44 |
| * damo22 facepalm | 05:44 | |
| xSmurf | and/or is there a better tool to genre user passwords from the hooks? | 05:44 |
| Carolyn | When AdHoc networking automatically configures dnsmasq for you, is there anyway to turn on logging? No config in /etc. | 05:44 |
| Carolyn | Trying to debug issues with it. | 05:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: maybe something to find in /var/log | 05:45 |
| Carolyn | If requests are turned on, they're supposed to be in daemon.log, but it doesn't exist. | 05:46 |
| Russian | damo22: I still get the TTY screen for 10.04 LTS, if I don't do anything for about 15-30 seconds, it switches to login screen | 05:46 |
| damo22 | Russian: i didnt ask you to reboot | 05:47 |
| damo22 | Russian: you still havent given me the numbers | 05:47 |
| Russian | damo22: Aah, my bad. | 05:47 |
| damo22 | Russian: the command was not going to do anything except query your pci bus for devices | 05:48 |
| Carolyn | dnsmasq is showing to start up ok in the syslog, but clients on an adhoc network are not receiving ip addresses. Without requests being logged hard to debug. | 05:48 |
| Carolyn | I'm about ready to stab ubuntu in the eye. | 05:48 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: no router that blocks it? | 05:48 |
| Carolyn | lotus - The workaround for firestarter blocking dhcp appears to have worked. | 05:49 |
| Russian | damo22: oke, got it, I sent you in pm. | 05:49 |
| Carolyn | But still no ip addresses being assigned to adhoc clients. | 05:49 |
| damo22 | Russian: i cant recieve pm | 05:49 |
| damo22 | Russian: its only 1 line paste it here | 05:50 |
| Russian | damo22: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:1080] (rev a1) | 05:50 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: you have dhcp server running? | 05:51 |
| damo22 | Russian: so its a GeForce GTX 580 | 05:51 |
| Russian | damo22: yeah, I said that a while ago >.< | 05:52 |
| Carolyn | lotus, adhoc networking uses dnsmasq as a dhcp server lite. | 05:52 |
| Russian | damo22: EVGA GTX 580 | 05:52 |
| Carolyn | I'm trying to share an ethernet connection with a laptop over wifi. | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | !adhoc | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq | 05:53 |
| damo22 | Russian: what is the error? | 05:53 |
| Russian | damo22: There is no error as far as I can tell. Everything worked fine for me, but after I reset my bios and reconfigured (because I had to reset my password), ubuntu started booting directly into TTY instead of login window. | 05:54 |
| Carolyn | That doesn't help, lotus. Ubuntu automatically configures dnsmasq for you, when you create an adhoc network. | 05:54 |
| Carolyn | And it doesn't appear to use /etc/dnsmasq.conf at all, as it doesn't exist. | 05:54 |
| damo22 | Russian: so are you in console now? | 05:55 |
| Russian | damo22: Now I have to sit and wait while ubuntu is at the TTY window requiring my username/password, if I just ignore that and wait a while it loads the login screen. | 05:55 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: what about this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 05:55 |
| Russian | damo22: no, right now I am fully loaded | 05:55 |
| Russian | damo22: with GUI and all | 05:55 |
| damo22 | Russian: possibly it is using a different video driver now | 05:56 |
| lotuspsychje | !info dnsmasq | 05:56 |
| ubottu | dnsmasq (source: dnsmasq): A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.57-1ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 13 kB, installed size 120 kB | 05:56 |
| Carolyn | Nothing in there about getting dnsmaq to log requests when adhoc networks automatically configure dnsmaq. | 05:56 |
| Russian | damo22: hmm, how to verify? I can open and configure the nvidia server settings just fine so far | 05:56 |
| Carolyn | And that's what I need, desperatly. | 05:56 |
| damo22 | Russian: im not sure | 05:57 |
| Russian | damo22: ooh check this out, when I booted into TTY, once I tried to loggin in with my username and password and after that I hit /startx and it booted me directly into ubuntu, but after like 20 seconds or so I got the loggin screen and I had already a session running, but I had to enter my password in order to continue, does that help at all? | 05:58 |
| hydrox24 | damo22: should we get Russian to run a bootchart? | 05:59 |
| Russian | damo22: it seems like something delays the login screen | 05:59 |
| hydrox24 | damo22: It would help tremendously... unless it doesn't go as high-level as X | 05:59 |
| * damo22 takes a back seat on this one | 06:00 | |
| Russian | =D | 06:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: nothing in var/log/dnsmasq? | 06:00 |
| * hydrox24 doesn | 06:00 | |
| * hydrox24 doesn't want to get involved but will anyway :) | 06:01 | |
| Carolyn | It doesn't exist lotus. I keep telling you that. | 06:01 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: do you use Grub (AKA do you it whenever you boot? | 06:01 |
| Russian | hydrox24: not as far as I know, Ubuntu is my only OS | 06:02 |
| Carolyn | It is not logging requests, there is no config file. Ubuntu is doing it all under the covers and I am ready to go back to windows. It sucks, but at least it fucking works. | 06:02 |
| Russian | hydrox24: so I boot into it automatically without any options | 06:02 |
| hydrox24 | ok, hold on. That just means there is one extra step to showing the GRUB2 menu I think | 06:02 |
| Russian | hydrox24: oke | 06:02 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: so you use 11.10? And was it a clean install or an upgrade? | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: just stick around a few, there's always a solution for anything | 06:03 |
| Russian | hydrox24: I use 10.04 LTS (because of the stability and security) clean install. | 06:03 |
| acerimmer | Russian: likewise here | 06:03 |
| Russian | hydrox24: well I've added addons like Gloobus and Nautilus Elements | 06:03 |
| damo22 | theres a local root exploit for > 2.6.39 | 06:03 |
| Russian | acerimmer: cool ;] | 06:04 |
| hydrox24 | Russian that's fine, when we go through the reboot, you need to hold shift to show GRUB | 06:04 |
| Russian | hydrox24: oke and after that? | 06:04 |
| hydrox24 | damo22: do you mean 2.6.39 and below? cos I think that that's < 2.6.39 | 06:05 |
| damo22 | no above | 06:05 |
| hydrox24 | you need to find the normal line for ubuntu (without any "safe-boot" appended etc) and hit the "e" key to edit the kernel boot line | 06:05 |
| hydrox24 | damo22: :/ wow, and when is it gonna be fixed? | 06:05 |
| Russian | hydrox24: oke and after that? | 06:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: not all wifi cards support adhoc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc#Supported_Cards | 06:06 |
| damo22 | its fixed but i dont know which version of 3 its fixed in | 06:06 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: wait, you aren't doing this as I speak are you? | 06:06 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: because you need to install the bootchart program first... | 06:06 |
| Russian | hydrox24: no, but I memorized it. | 06:06 |
| hydrox24 | ok | 06:06 |
| hydrox24 | you'll need to add this "init=/sbin/bootchartd" to the end of the line that starts with "kernel" | 06:07 |
| hydrox24 | first, run this command on the machine you'll be analyzing: | 06:07 |
| hydrox24 | wait, scratch that | 06:08 |
| hydrox24 | just go here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/use-bootchart-to-find-out-how-long-ubuntu-takes-to-start-on-your-computer/ | 06:08 |
| Russian | I already installed bootchart and bootchartqui | 06:08 |
| hydrox24 | ahhh | 06:08 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: and did you do that before the last reboot? | 06:09 |
| Russian | =], thanks anyway | 06:09 |
| Russian | hydrox24: no, just now ^^ | 06:09 |
| hydrox24 | ok | 06:09 |
| hydrox24 | now reboot :) | 06:09 |
| USER__ | fujftttttttttttttttttttttt | 06:09 |
| hydrox24 | you don't need to do any of the stuff I said before, | 06:09 |

| Shirakawasuna | What is the best way to install beta nvidia drivers? (e.g. which ppa to choose) | 06:09 |
| hydrox24 | that was just for arch... (fail) :) | 06:09 |
| hydrox24 | Shirakawasuna: not sure, but the nvidia website offers very up-tp-dat binaries? | 06:10 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: ? | 06:10 |
| jefimenko | i just followed the java6transition instructions and now i have no java binary | 06:10 |
| jefimenko | i followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes/Java6Transition | 06:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | hmm | 06:10 |
| Russian | hydrox24: I presume I still need to add the init line right? | 06:10 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: no, sorry | 06:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | I think nvidia supplies a horribly ugly script | 06:10 |
| Shirakawasuna | a ppa is *much* nicer | 06:11 |
| Russian | hydrox24: aah, so what do I do? | 06:11 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: just reboot, no fancy stuff. I was reading instructions for Arch linux :/ | 06:11 |
| Russian | heh oke | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: does your laptop have a broadcom wifi card? | 06:11 |
| Russian | Be right back and thanks in advance | 06:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | I just need nvidia 290.* until it his stable | 06:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | there's a bug in previous versions that prevents booting | 06:11 |
| hydrox24 | Shirakawasuna: OK, let me look into that | 06:12 |
| jefimenko | how can i get my java binary back | 06:12 |
| frybye | Shirakawasuna: I have tried again and again to get a GT240 to work - are you saying I need a beta nvidia linux driver or? | 06:13 |
| Carolyn | That's why I'm trying to turn on request logging so I can debug it. But I can't, because unbuntu configures dnsmasq for me. | 06:13 |
| pangolin | Carolyn: please mind the language | 06:13 |
| van | jefimenko: what happened to your java binary? | 06:13 |
| Shirakawasuna | frybye: Not necessarily. My issue only affects Geforce 9300 IGP cards | 06:14 |
| zykotick9 | Shirakawasuna: i assume you tried nomodeset unsuccessfully? | 06:15 |
| Shirakawasuna | zykotick9: yep. It's definitely a driver problem | 06:15 |
| frybye | Shirakawasuna: well I will perhaps give it a go | 06:15 |
| Shirakawasuna | fixed in the 290.* series | 06:15 |
| Shirakawasuna | I just want a nice, clean way to install the beta nvidia driver | 06:15 |
| Russian | I am back. | 06:16 |
| hydrox24 | Shirakawasuna: what is the name of your nvidia card? | 06:16 |
| Shirakawasuna | a way that allows me to easily go back to the standard package when it his 290.*+ | 06:16 |
| Shirakawasuna | hydrox24: geforce 9300 IGP | 06:16 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: did you manually config etc/dnsmasq.conf? | 06:16 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: ok, now look in /var/log/bootchart.png | 06:16 |
| Russian | hydrox24: yeah, found it, uploading onemoment | 06:16 |
| zykotick9 | Shirakawasuna: it appears the xorg-edgers PPA has 295 | 06:17 |
| Carolyn | Lotus - no. I repeat, there is no etc/dnsmasq.conf. Ubuntu configures dnsmasq automatigically under the covers when you set up an adhoc. | 06:17 |
| hydrox24 | Shirakawasuna: you x64 or x86 | 06:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | zykotick9: I think xorg-edgers brings a lot of stuff I don't want... | 06:18 |
| zykotick9 | Shirakawasuna: probably true | 06:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | hydrox24: x64. I appreciate the help, but are you going to nvidia.com and finding the driver? I found that already, I just don't like their scripts | 06:18 |
| zykotick9 | Shirakawasuna: but installing direct from nvidia, will re | 06:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/290.10/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10.run&lang=us&type=GeForce | 06:18 |
| zykotick9 | quire | 06:18 |
| zykotick9 | sorry | 06:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Carolyn: thats really weird..there's gotta be a conf somewhere right and logs | 06:19 |
| hydrox24 | Shirakawasuna: ah, OK, so what's your issue then? | 06:19 |
| Carolyn | Yeah it's using a template somehwere, but I have no clue where. | 06:19 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'll try this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 06:19 |
| Shirakawasuna | bring sin less stuff | 06:19 |
| pnorman | I'm looking for a reference for growing a RAID10 array with mdadm, but not finding anything - anyone know of one? | 06:19 |
| Shirakawasuna | hydrox24: I strongly prefer a ppa/debs, but can't seem to find anything dedicated to just the nvidia stuff. | 06:19 |
| hydrox24 | Shirakawasuna: yeh, I guess it | 06:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | e.g. when I used arch, I'd just install the nvidia-beta package (user-contributed) and it integrated nicely with the package manager. No mess. | 06:20 |
| hydrox24 | Shirakawasuna: yeh, I guess it's because there isn't much demand for a nvidia beta ppa | 06:20 |
| jefimenko | van: i followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes/Java6Transition to replace sun-java6 with openjdk-6 | 06:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | so that when I decide to go back to vanilla it's clean | 06:20 |
| jefimenko | van: now i have no java binary | 06:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | woo, that ppa seems to have worked | 06:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | bah, it's using nouveau, n/m >_< | 06:20 |
| jefimenko | van: i ran "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre icedtea6-plugin" after removing the sun-java6 packages | 06:21 |
| Russian | hydrox24: check pm | 06:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'll just install nvidia's stupid .run package | 06:21 |
| van | jefimenko: just fyi, you dont have to remove a java version to install another one... | 06:22 |
| van | jefimenko: all can install as many java binary, but only need to set on as default | 06:22 |
| jefimenko | van: ok, well i was following the instructions | 06:22 |
| Russian | hydrox24: did you get it? | 06:22 |
| jefimenko | http://paste.ubuntu.com/829731/ | 06:23 |
| jefimenko | openjdk-6-jre-headless is installed though | 06:23 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: yeh, do I have to (can't be bothered) | 06:23 |
| massive__ | I tried to play around with Compiz.. mistake that was.. now my screen is all jacked..I am missing the bar. I can only log into gnome. Wasn't there a choice for Ubuntu before? Not now! | 06:23 |
| Russian | hydrox24: heh, well I took a look at it, but I don't really understand it, so if you please | 06:23 |
| van | jefimenko; ok, so now did the openjdk-6 installed failed or something? | 06:24 |
| jefimenko | van: no it seems to be installed | 06:24 |
| jefimenko | van: i tried reinstalling them too | 06:24 |
| hydrox24 | Russian: just do this: /msg hydrox24 MESSAGEHERE | 06:25 |

| van | jefimenko: can you try this command -> $ ls -l /usr/lib/jvm | 06:30 |
| Shirakawasuna | frybye: open a terminal, then go to the directory with the file (cd /path/to/file). To run it, type ./nvidia-whatever-etc-etc-.run. If this doesn't work, make it executable using chmod +x | 06:30 |
| zykotick9 | acerimmer: i'd GUESS no, but you could just install it after | 06:30 |

| acerimmer | shahzad: you there??? | 06:30 |
| zykotick9 | blackbox: opengl isn't a packages, it's provided by your graphics drive & xorg | 06:31 |
| jefimenko | van: http://paste.ubuntu.com/829734/ | 06:31 |
| hydrox24 | blackbox: what's the specific problem? | 06:31 |
| jefimenko | van: http://paste.ubuntu.com/829736/ | 06:32 |
| frybye | Shirakawasuna: gave error - must be run as root - ?? | 06:32 |
| blackbox | I am wanting to program graphics and somebody told me to use opengl.... but I don't think I have it on this system so I want to install it. I am using c/c++ as my programming language | 06:32 |
| frybye | is there such a command as sudo ./nvidia******? | 06:33 |
| hydrox24 | blackbox: no, why can't you just install it using apt-get, what error does it give? | 06:33 |
| jigspan | why my computer shut down incomplete? | 06:33 |

| blackbox | sudo apt-get install opengl | 06:34 |
| hydrox24 | blackbox: that just means that there isn't a package available for opengl, you'll have to install it another eay | 06:34 |
| hydrox24 | way | 06:34 |
| zykotick9 | frybye: (i don't think manually installing nvidia is a good idea) BUT, are you running in Xorg still? Cause the installer is going to want X stopped before it will proceed, and yes, you need to use sudo | 06:34 |
| blackbox | I don't know what repo to add if it is not in the standard ones | 06:34 |
| van | jefimenko: thats funny, "update-alternatives" should do the trick... let me get back to you | 06:34 |
| frybye | Shirakawasuna: back to problem one - it says there is no supported nvidia card in the pc - i know that cos if I put the gt240 in the screen is unusable... | 06:35 |
| Chotaz | How do I add a virtualhost on lamp? | 06:35 |
| om | [ | 06:35 |
| frybye | Shirakawasuna: like a chicken and egg problem.. card with no driver not screen - driver with no card not installable??? | 06:35 |
| jigspan | and why selection menu appear each time on booting? | 06:35 |
| frybye | zykotick9: what other way to install it??? | 06:36 |
| van | jefimenko: meanwhile, what "$which java" output is? | 06:36 |
| jigspan | i have shutdown problem with ubuntu 11.10 | 06:36 |
| zykotick9 | frybye: you need to install from command line (VT) after shutting down xorg | 06:36 |
| van | jefimenko: if there is any... where does it points to? "$ls -l $(which java) | 06:36 |
| frybye | I put the card in the pc and no matter what I do i just get a mess of a screen - without the card it works with the ati 3000 onboard | 06:36 |
| frybye | zykotick9: but there is still the problem that it wants the card in there... | 06:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | frybye: when you download the nvidia installer, you have to make sure you get the right one. You may have accidentally downloaded the wrong one. | 06:37 |
| zykotick9 | frybye: do you have the propritary ATI driver installed? cause cause conflict if you do. | 06:37 |
| jigspan | is there solution for my problem? | 06:37 |
| syddraf | Does anyone know how to use Compiz with Xubuntu? | 06:37 |
| blackbox | I don't see opengl in synaptic ... I do see other things though but I have alot of books and resource example in opengl in c /c++ so I was wondering where I can get it install it. Correct me if I am wrong but it should just be a library .so files and h files that go in /usr/lib/ or something then since I have the path already in the standard $PATH variable it should be enough to tell the compile and include the header for it | 06:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | frybye: e.g. I know that my card is the geforce 9 series 9300 (ion) card | 06:37 |
| frybye | zykotick9: yes I do have it installed... | 06:38 |
| xangua | syddraf: run: compiz --replace | 06:38 |
| lotuspsychje | any desktop recorders to avi or mpeg4? | 06:38 |
| syddraf | xangua: I do that and all of my window borders/titles vanish. | 06:38 |
| jefimenko | van: which java returns nothing | 06:38 |
| frybye | Shirakawasuna: I got the linux driver for the gt240 direct from nvidia - the installer seems to work except it complains the card is not in... | 06:38 |
| xangua | syddraf: then you did not install gtk decorator | 06:38 |
| frybye | zykotick9: I will de-install the prop. driver .. and try again... | 06:39 |
| zykotick9 | xangua: more likely, 3d support isn't active | 06:39 |
| blackbox | problem is I don't know how to go about installing it would like to either get it thru synaptic or apt-get it. rather then have to manually download a tar extract it and install it or a dpkg -i thing | 06:39 |
| blackbox | is their an equivalent name for opengl maybe libopengl their is just to many choices in synaptic and I don't know what the correct one is | 06:40 |
| syddraf | xangua: Which package would that be under? | 06:41 |

| smokycat | away from keyboard. thank you | 07:01 |
| WoC | pnorman, you prolly get both better performance and reliability using raid5 than you have using raid10, mirroring is more likely to just mirror corrupted data should it occur... at least that is what i have seen | 07:01 |
| pnorman | WoC: Not on a database load | 07:02 |

| pnorman | WoC: Googling says that md RAID10 arrays can't be grown, but that might be outdated. I know RAID5 can be grown | 07:10 |
| WoC | pnorman, sounds like it may be true about 10, as you would need to grow both the master and the mirror simultaneously | 07:11 |
| WoC | unless ofc the raid can be paused for the duration | 07:12 |
| Chotaz | Is it possible to use a command in terminal to do the following? : check every subdir inside directory A and delete these subdirs inside directory B | 07:12 |
| WoC | Chotaz; "cd /path/A ; find . -type d -exec rm -rf /path/B/{} \;" | 07:14 |
| hydrox24 | Chotaz: what is the dirB relative to A exactly? or no relationship? | 07:14 |
| Chotaz | I have 2 folders inside my external HDD one with 80 subdirs, another with 40 subdirs | 07:15 |
| Chotaz | a:80, b:40, all the folders in b are also in a, I want all folders that are in already in b and a at the same time to be deleted | 07:16 |
| WoC | Chotaz, oh | 07:17 |
| Chotaz | i want it so A only keeps the subdirs that are not in B | 07:17 |

| acerimmer | Chotaz: 10.04 allows GUEST session i.e. no access or permissions to do anything critical | 07:22 |
| WoC | Chotaz, both A and B are sub-dirs in the same directory ? and You do want to keep only one unique copy of each directory, correct ? | 07:23 |
| Chotaz | the A and B dirs are completely apart and far inside the hdd | 07:25 |
| WoC | k | 07:25 |
| Chotaz | my ideia is to delete every subdirectory from B that already exists in A | 07:26 |
| superdave_ | Getting some weird crap on boot... http://pic.twitter.com/D0tGLyj7 This disallows boot to continue and never gets to gui. any ideas? | 07:26 |
| WoC | Chotaz, quick and dirty would be to just move all the dirs in B to A, overwriting any duplicates; leaving you with just one version lest ofc the dir structure is different | 07:27 |
| WoC | and ofc assuming you have the free space for it | 07:28 |
| pnorman | I suppose I could move all my drives to the hardware RAID card, but that would be a *lot* of work :/ | 07:28 |
| Chotaz | WoC: I dont want to lose this structure and I'm not sure if I have the space even | 07:28 |
| a8ksh4 | what're you working on, pnorman? | 07:29 |
| Chotaz | he just copied all the dirs from A to B, leaving me with a bunch of duplicates | 07:30 |

| Anthony | i installed and when i restart i get error disk out, and prompt is grub rescue | 08:05 |
| superdave_ | trying to find drivers to apt-get remove, where should I start to find the correct driver for my graphics card? | 08:07 |
| Anthony | what should i do | 08:08 |
| zykotick9 | superdave_: 1) what graphics card 2) how did you install them? | 08:08 |
| damo22 | Anthony: type into grub rescue: root (hd and then hit TAB | 08:09 |
| Anthony | roo hd | 08:09 |
| superdave_ | zykotick9: stock nvidia on Dell Demension 8300 and through ubuntu update manager. | 08:09 |
| Anthony | root hd | 08:09 |
| damo22 | root (hd | 08:09 |
| zykotick9 | superdave_: "apt-cache policy nvidia-current" does it show installed? | 08:10 |
| Anthony | root (hd) | 08:10 |
| damo22 | no | 08:10 |
| damo22 | dont close the parenthesis | 08:10 |
| superdave_ | nvidia-current: Installed: (none) Candidate: 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 Version table: 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/restricted i386 Packages | 08:10 |
| damo22 | what happens when you type root(hd and hit TAB | 08:11 |
| Anthony | is ther space between root and parenthises | 08:11 |
| damo22 | yes | 08:11 |
| superdave_ | zykotick9: nvidia-current: Installed: (none) Candidate: 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 Version table: 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/restricted i386 Packages | 08:11 |
| Anthony | ok unknown cammand root | 08:11 |
| zykotick9 | superdave_: so nvidia-current is not installed, do you see the Installed: (none). I'm not sure what version you need though. "lspci | grep -i vga" will give card model. | 08:11 |
| Anthony | i get unknown command 'root' | 08:12 |
| damo22 | Anthony: type "ls" | 08:13 |
| Anthony | ok | 08:13 |
| damo22 | Anthony: what is the output | 08:13 |
| superdave_ | zykotick9: output: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)" | 08:14 |
| Anthony | i get (hd0) (hd0.msdos) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1) | 08:14 |
| damo22 | Anthony: it looks like your 2 hard drives both have windows partitions | 08:15 |
| Anthony | ok what do i do | 08:15 |
| damo22 | Anthony: how are your disks partitioned? | 08:16 |
| damo22 | Anthony: do you have multiple partitions? or are they as grub said | 08:16 |
| Anthony | however ther were when windows was intsalled | 08:16 |
| zykotick9 | superdave_: from my very brief search, looks like you need the nvidia 173 driver. I've never had much luck with the non-current nvidia stuff, so hopefully if you run into issues someone else can help. I'd also suggest you do an internet search to see if you can confirm/deny that 173 is the correct version. | 08:16 |
| damo22 | Anthony: so you recently installed ubuntu? | 08:17 |
| Anthony | yes | 08:18 |
| damo22 | Anthony: where did you install it to | 08:18 |
| superdave_ | zykotick9: Awesome! Thanks! How should I word that so apt-get install will fetch that for me? | 08:18 |
| Anthony | cuase windows keeps givine me issues | 08:18 |
| zykotick9 | superdave_: i'm unable to verify, but "sudo apt-get install nvidia-<TAB>" should list the options. | 08:18 |
| damo22 | Anthony: ie which drive | 08:19 |
| Anthony | told to install over windows and delete all | 08:19 |
| Anthony | so im not sure | 08:20 |
| superdave_ | zykotick9: Ok. Thanks for all the help!! | 08:20 |
| damo22 | Anthony: root (hd0,1) | 08:20 |

| damo22 | unless someone else knows an idea | 08:23 |
| urlin2u | frybye, 2 releases 11.04 and 11.10, this with a disc in them? | 08:24 |
| damo22 | frybye: boot up with one of the drives attached, dmesg | grep ATAPI | 08:24 |
| superdave_ | zykotick9: "nvidia-173" did the trick. now to reboot to find out if it worked! | 08:24 |
| Anthony | i tried that several times | 08:25 |
| frybye | damo22 - instead of both you mean? | 08:25 |
| damo22 | frybye: yes | 08:25 |
| Anthony | can anyone else shed som ligh on my problem | 08:25 |
| damo22 | frybye: or just run the command anyway | 08:25 |
| frybye | ok - urlin2u it is 11.10 | 08:26 |
| frybye | damo22: they are sata drives? | 08:26 |

| hypnocat | i have a bit of a problem: it seems my machine doesn't have an /etc/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d is empty... how can i properly populate these? | 09:08 |
| zykotick9 | sbarcteam: last time i saw that "open/closed/defer/.." was on Linux Mint Debian Edition - i waited for 4+ hours before giving up on LMDE forever. The solution in that case was, use apt-get - the same might apply here. Ubuntu dropped aptitude for a reason (though I certainly prefer it/use it over apt-get, but i don't run ubuntu) | 09:08 |
| zykotick9 | hypnocat: it's /etc/apt/sources.list right? | 09:09 |
| hypnocat | ah | 09:09 |
| hypnocat | i do have an /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:09 |
| hypnocat | ok.. that non-problem is solved.. | 09:10 |
| sbarcteam | |johnny|: you can use patch utility. usage is described in its man page. basically it is: cd to the root folder of what you patch, then run: patch < file.patch | 09:10 |
| |johnny| | ahh ok I'll give it a shot | 09:10 |

| damo22 | Anthony: it failed | 09:26 |
| Anthony | 1+0 records in 1=0 records out 512 bytes (512b) copied , 0.00677572 s, 75.6 kb/ s | 09:26 |

| frybye | damo22: me too ;=) | 09:27 |
| damo22 | Anthony: now try installing ubuntu again and it should say its an empty drive and ask if you want to use the whole thing | 09:27 |
| Anthony | ok ill let you results | 09:28 |

| zykotick9 | frybye: 1) check the /dev/cdrom & /dev/dvd links using "ls -l /dev/cdrom" & dvd -- they should show ".. /dev/cdrom -> sr0" or sr1 2) verify that /etc/fstab didn't use an sd# for cdrom(s) | 09:32 |
| frybye | zykotick9: crazy!!! the cd I had been using was apparently unreadable - I just put a ubuntu live cd in and it works fine .. sorry sorry... | 09:33 |
| frybye | damo22: thanks for all your help - the stupid cd was unreadable or defective or whatever.. | 09:34 |

| damo22 | Anthony: L | 11:11 |
| Anthony | ok | 11:12 |
| Anthony | got it | 11:12 |
| Jeico | damo22: if you can't help with my question, then do not bother to answer :S I just want to pick a distro and I want to be sure on my pick. | 11:12 |
| whitman | Is there any way to change the "Turn off after" to 15 minutes, rather than just the options in the drop down box. (10 and 30 are the closest) | 11:12 |
| whitman | In the screen settings. | 11:13 |
| damo22 | Jeico: i asked a subjective question in response to your subjective question, this channel afaik is for ubuntu support | 11:13 |
| LjL | Jeico: your question in all fairness is not really on topic for this channel | 11:13 |
| Anthony | whats next | 11:13 |
| damo22 | Anthony: does it mention /dev/sda as the main drive? | 11:14 |
| Anthony | sda1 | 11:14 |
| damo22 | Anthony: ideally i need to read the whole output to know the next command | 11:15 |
| bc81 | whitman: in 10.10 you can set the amount in seconds. alt+f2 and type gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/ | 11:17 |
| bc81 | not sure what configuration tool is available in newer releases | 11:17 |
| whitman | That key doesn't exist in 11.10 :( | 11:17 |
| bc81 | you can open a terminal and do it | 11:18 |

| tom453642356 | Hello: is there a program that does a simple directory comparison, checking they have the same files and doing a recursive check of sub directories? | 11:23 |
| damo22 | Anthony | 11:24 |
| Anthony | yes | 11:24 |
| bc81 | tom453642356: you might want to try meld | 11:24 |
| damo22 | Anthony: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 11:24 |
| Anthony | ok | 11:25 |
| bencc | I'm using a command that output to a file: "pdf2svg input.pdf output.svg" how can I output to stdout instead? | 11:25 |
| damo22 | Anthony: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 11:25 |
| tom453642356 | bc81: i am trying meld right now. it seems to be reading every single file, checking every byte of every file. that is overkill | 11:25 |
| motz | hi, I need to transfer a big file (6.8 Gb) from a ubuntu laptop to a mac laptop | 11:25 |
| tom453642356 | bc81: i just want something that does ls recursively and verifies they are the same | 11:26 |
| Anthony | install finised no error | 11:27 |
| damo22 | Anthony: what is the output ? | 11:27 |
| tensorpudding | motz, well, the best way is to connect them through ethernet cables to your router | 11:27 |
| Anthony | istall finished no error reported | 11:27 |
| tensorpudding | motz, then share the folder on the ubuntu laptop, and browse the share on the mac laptop | 11:27 |
| damo22 | Anthony: ok now do this: sudo umount /mnt | 11:28 |
| tensorpudding | motz, you don't need to connect them with wires, you can do it over wireless, but wireless is so slow that 6.8 GB will take several hours | 11:28 |
| damo22 | Anthony: then you can reboot and it should work | 11:28 |
| fidel | motz: or just push the file via scp from box a to b (ssh access must be enabled in the mac sys-prefs) | 11:28 |
| bc81 | tom453642356: diff -r <dir1> <dir2> | 11:28 |
| Anthony | says command not found | 11:29 |
| tom453642356 | thanks bc | 11:29 |
| bc81 | np | 11:29 |
| damo22 | Anthony: umount not uNmount | 11:29 |
| Anthony | same | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | paste the exact command you are using. | 11:30 |
| tensorpudding | motz, folder sharing can be accomplished by right-clicking the folder and going to Sharing Options, then enabling the folder; you do this for the folder that holds the file you want, and enable guest access | 11:30 |
| tensorpudding | motz, do you follow? | 11:30 |
| Anthony | ok got it now restart | 11:31 |
| damo22 | Anthony: yes, reboot now, but pay more attention to the commands i type, or paste them directly if you have trouble | 11:32 |
| Anthony | ok let you now status | 11:33 |
| ian_ | Hi - I've got a problem with Remote Desktop not working when one particular login is logged on - can anyone help? | 11:35 |

| d1b | hi i wish to install ubuntu on a mac pro | 11:35 |
| d1b | what's the best way to do this? | 11:35 |
| damo22 | d1b: i have done it i am running it now | 11:36 |
| d1b | damo22: yes and what's the best way to do this | 11:36 |
| Anthony | o what do i do | 11:36 |
| damo22 | d1b: go into osx and shrink your main HFS+ partition so there is room for ubuntu at the end of the drive | 11:37 |
| d1b | damo22: and then? | 11:37 |
| damo22 | d1b: then you need to be careful | 11:37 |
| d1b | how do i boot ubuntu / install it from there? | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Make Backups. always step #1 :) | 11:38 |
| d1b | i have backups :p | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !mac | 11:38 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | backup your backups... | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 11:38 |
| damo22 | d1b: the main thing is to not allow ubuntu to wipe the EFI partition | 11:38 |
| d1b | Dr_Willis: i read that and ... it doesn't answer all of the questions :p | 11:38 |
| d1b | Dr_Willis: right | 11:38 |
| d1b | damo22: * | 11:38 |
| damo22 | d1b: you have to boot off the livecd | 11:39 |
| d1b | the thing is my mac pro wouldn't be on this thing ... i think it is the latest :p | 11:39 |
| d1b | damo22: ok | 11:39 |
| Anthony | damo22 | 11:39 |
| Anthony | ; what do i do | 11:39 |
| damo22 | d1b: you insert the cd and hold "option/alt" button while it is booting | 11:40 |
| Guest35128 | ciao | 11:40 |
| damo22 | d1b: then you can boot off the cd with the arrow keys | 11:40 |
| d1b | damo22: how do i ensure that it doesn't kill the efi partition | 11:40 |
| bazhang | !it | Guest35128 | 11:40 |
| ubottu | Guest35128: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 11:40 |
| damo22 | d1b: select the grub bootloader to install into /dev/sdxY where Y is the partition of the ubuntu root | 11:41 |
| ian_ | dlb: If you can't find out from Apple how to install Ubuntu using BootCamp as the boot manager, I would install Ubuntu on a separate drive - this way you won't inadvertantly cause the BootCamp boot manager to get overwritten by Ubuntu's Grub boot manager | 11:41 |
| d1b | damo22: so i will need to install refit? | 11:41 |
| mrtn86 | Am I correct, that "software-center" uses APT database as well? I mean I could use apt-get for installing some programs and software-center to install other ones if I like? | 11:41 |
| damo22 | d1b: not necessary | 11:42 |
| d1b | ok | 11:42 |
| bazhang | mrtn86, yes | 11:42 |
| d1b | so will it let me pick between ubuntu and osx? | 11:42 |
| d1b | (on boot) | 11:42 |
| ian_ | dlb: This is what I did with my Windows 7 workstation - I didn't want to screw with the Windows boot manager | 11:42 |
| === skilz is now known as skilz-a | ||
| damo22 | d1b: only if you hold option alt while it boots | 11:42 |
| mrtn86 | bazhang, thanks! | 11:42 |
| Dr_Willis | mrtn86: all the package manager tools are basically front ends to the apt system. | 11:42 |
| d1b | damo22: ah ok | 11:43 |
| damo22 | d1b: then you can use the built in osx bootloader to select ubuntu | 11:43 |
| d1b | so grub doesn't let me do it | 11:43 |
| d1b | oh ok | 11:43 |
| d1b | so it will then just boot osx by default? | 11:43 |
| damo22 | yes | 11:43 |
| d1b | ok cool | 11:43 |
| d1b | it isn't possible to usb boot (instead of cdrom) ? | 11:43 |
| damo22 | probably is possible using the exact same method | 11:44 |
| d1b | last time i tried it, it didn't work tho :< | 11:44 |
| damo22 | osx has a built in bootloader that lets you choose which partition to boot from, and if you install ubuntu onto one of them you can nest the bootloaders this way | 11:45 |
| d1b | yes last time i tried it ... it didn't work :< | 11:46 |
| d1b | ok cool | 11:46 |
| Dr_Willis | install grub to say sda3 You mean? | 11:46 |
| damo22 | Dr_Willis: yes | 11:46 |
| osmosis | is there any way to get the file edit menus back onto the application window instead of at the top? | 11:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ive only done that with seperate hard drives. :) on Intel pc's - i dont have a mac.. heh. | 11:46 |
| damo22 | d1b: whatever you do, DONT install grub to /dev/sda | 11:46 |
| Dr_Willis | osmosis: you can disable the 'global menus' if you dont like them. the webupd8 blog site mentions how to do it globally, or for specific apps. | 11:47 |
| d1b | damo22: i'll make a backup of /dev/sda first ;) | 11:47 |
| === skilz-a is now known as skilz | ||
| osmosis | Dr_Willis, cooL! will checkout | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 11:48 |
| Dr_Willis | I think has the info. or links | 11:48 |
| damo22 | d1b: /dev/sda1 is the EFI partition and the first 512 bytes of /dev/sda is the osx partition table + jump code | 11:48 |
| Dr_Willis | that url is worth bookmarking in any case. :) | 11:48 |
| d1b | damo22: cool | 11:48 |

| mcl0vin | ikonia: i take my last answer back.and replace it with i don't know...i am using the user from the setup and trying to add another user to the system | 11:56 |
| tom453642356 | dondilly: you could pull hard drive out and plug into another computer | 11:56 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: ok, check if the user is in the admin group, that is the first port of call when using root-needed administration guis | 11:56 |

| mcl0vin | ikonia: yes the user is not add, i only have one user in the system | 11:59 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: how are you checking that ? | 11:59 |
| dondilly | would it be poss to boot from livedcd and copy to another hd, not sure whats more likely, hd file, hardware or OS in a twist | 11:59 |
| mcl0vin | ikonia: because its not asking me for anything about the user...and to check it i can vi /etc/passwd | 12:00 |

| mcl0vin | ikonia: i pm'd u the output of uname all | 12:03 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: why pm me ? just put it in the channel so we can all follow | 12:03 |
| ikonia | I don't accept random pm's which is why I've not got it | 12:03 |
| dondilly | ikeonia - no but current OS failed and now only boots to grub so if hw ok could copy what I need to usb drive after booting from livecd, only 1 linux box and drive is ext2 so not easily read by windows | 12:04 |

| Racy | ikonia: ok thanks, it's installed in version 11.04 (says it's activated, but not currently in use) I can upgrade to 12.04 from this version, was just checking | 12:15 |
| ikonia | why would you want to do that ? | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Racy: it's not in use as your X11 config is not setup | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Racy: no need to upgrade, try to find a resolution to a problem before such extreme measures as upgrading | 12:16 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: just thinking | 12:16 |

| Mautz | Hey there! Got some trouble with booting from MARVELL raid after updating the BIOS; Ubuntu doesn't find the raid drive, which I used to boot from. Windows 7 does, so I think the raid itself is still ok. fdisk on live-system won't show the disk either. Could someone help me out please? | 12:40 |

| Braden` | Dr-Willis-Of-Lov: Thanks | 12:41 |

| mosdef100200 | Hi thanks for the help what i used to have on windows was a preview thumbnail generator of a swf file and i am trying to find something like that in linux | 12:42 |
| Dr-Willis-Of-Lov | it would be a feature of the file manager i imagine. | 12:43 |
| kralle | Dr-Willis-Of-Lov: any more ideas ? | 12:43 |
| Mautz | ikonia: but it worked until this update; any idea how to fix this? | 12:43 |
| ikonia | Mautz: I suspect the support/inbuilt driver will have changed between kernels and that device is no longer usable | 12:43 |
| Dr-Willis-Of-Lov | kralle: no idea. just saw that post on how theres bugs with dnsmasq network manager and shareing the connection. | 12:43 |

| Mautz | ikonia: can I use the software-raid from linux and windows? doesn't it slow down the system? | 12:46 |
| ikonia | Mautz: software raid is not cross-platform, so your windows disk won't see it | 12:46 |
| ikonia | Mautz: in terms of performance there is no difference between software raid and fake raid, they both use the machines cpu (that's why it's called fake raid) | 12:46 |
| Mautz | ikonia: so best would be to use a raid-controller?! | 12:48 |
| ikonia | Mautz: a hardware raid controller is good, software raid if you only need Linux support, fakeraid (for me) never | 12:48 |

| bustajustin | newbie here | 13:27 |
| tensorpudding | but your question is probably not one we can help you with, we don't know anything about your box or its software | 13:27 |
| bazhang | bustajustin, ubuntu support issue? please ask | 13:27 |
| tensorpudding | have you tried the documentation for openpli? | 13:27 |
| bustajustin | last night i installed xubuntu | 13:28 |
| bustajustin | and everything worked perfect | 13:28 |
| McG-Lucky | look how do you exploit to it then | 13:28 |
| mcl0vin | is openpli something link mythbuntu ? | 13:28 |

| kralle | Dr-Willis-Of-Lov: i explain quick , if i start hotspot i can not start dnsmasq because port is busy | 13:35 |
| kralle | so how i can bypass this | 13:35 |
| kralle | i got it to run yesterday :( i lost this f""" link | 13:35 |
| Dr-Willis-Of-Lov | kralle: no idea - I dont use either thing. | 13:35 |

| Duality | i installed the adobe-flashplugin but that didn't resolve the popping/cracking sound issue ... | 13:46 |
| DevilSolution | okay i seem to be stuck, ive downloaded the scala compiler and IDE for eclipse but im not sure how to set the $PATH variable to allow me to use it, ive tried editing the .profile file and added the path of the /bin but it doesnt seem to work...any idea's? | 13:47 |
| === Guest18752 is now known as sKew^_- | ||
| Duality | this only happens when i watch the flash vid though when i open a new tab the clicking/popping in the sound disapears... | 13:47 |
| Duality | like only when the vid is covered the popping/clicking stops | 13:47 |
| tensorpudding | DevilSolution, what exactly is this? | 13:47 |
| oCean | DevilSolution: once you've edited .bashrc or .profile to add a directory to your PATH, you have to source that file again source ~/.profile | 13:48 |
| GLaDOSv2 | okay, long story short, I need to change the password of a user in a single command that can be done by pressing enter just one time (need to execute it by php), so kindof need to sudo passwd root, but the php user is not in the sudoers file so need to change to another user who is first | 13:48 |
| DevilSolution | tensorpudding, scala is a programming language based on java | 13:48 |
| oCean | DevilSolution: check with echo $PATH | 13:48 |
| DevilSolution | ahh okay | 13:48 |
| tensorpudding | a more permanent solution will be to install it to /usr/local | 13:48 |
| Navion | Trying to get my display to resize. Looks like Ubuntu's hardware probe misidentified the display chips | 13:48 |
| DevilSolution | tensorpudding, the compiler? | 13:49 |
| tensorpudding | to /usr/local/bin, yes | 13:49 |
| tensorpudding | scala is already available in packages by the way | 13:49 |
| DevilSolution | its just in my home folder at the moment, could i move i the whole file there or just the /bin? | 13:49 |
| ratcheer | I lost my Ethernet connection in Ubuntu. It was working last night, and it still works in Arch Linux. I cannot even ping the router by IP address. How to troubleshoot and fix? | 13:49 |
| tensorpudding | is scala a jar or something? | 13:50 |
| tensorpudding | it's complicated | 13:50 |
| oCean | !info scala | 13:50 |
| ubottu | scala (source: scala): Scala programming language. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.9.0.1.dfsg-1 (oneiric), package size 11187 kB, installed size 12748 kB | 13:50 |
| DevilSolution | tensorpudding, as in it would install it for me? i have the compiler untared and i can use it but its not working with eclipse becasue i guess ive not set it up | 13:50 |
| Navion | ratcheer: what do you get if you do an /sbin/ifconfig? | 13:50 |
| tensorpudding | maybe you're better off just changing your PATH | 13:50 |
| tensorpudding | i do a thing where i create a ~/bin and put that in my PATH variable | 13:51 |
| tensorpudding | but to have it take effect everywhere you need to log out | 13:51 |
| ratcheer | Navion: Thanks for your response. I will have to reboot to Ubuntu to see. Is there anything else I should check while I'm there? | 13:51 |
| DevilSolution | its based on java i think, right okay so create a new folder and add the compiler to it? | 13:52 |
| tensorpudding | for instance, if you start eclipse from unity's launcher, it will use the environment info that was present when you logged in, from before when you changed the config file | 13:52 |
| kralle | someone here can help me about dnsmasq and networkmanager please | 13:52 |
| ikonia | kralle: in what respect ? | 13:52 |
| tensorpudding | DevilSolution, well, i don't know eclipse, it sounds like you just need to put scalac or whatever in $PATH so that eclipse can find it? | 13:52 |
| DevilSolution | ive restarted afetr every time ive changed the .profile | 13:53 |
| kralle | ikonia: if i run dnsmasq i can notnstart any hotspot anymore | 13:53 |
| DevilSolution | tensorpudding, yes | 13:53 |
| Navion | ratcheer: There is a network tool under Adminstrator or System. It should give you the status of the ethernet NIC's. If it thinks things are OK. Try pinging 127.0.0.1. That's the special local host IP address. | 13:53 |
| tensorpudding | it depends on your shell | 13:53 |
| ikonia | kralle: what is that got to do with network manager? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | kralle: you need to give details if you want help | 13:53 |
| tensorpudding | you also want to be exporting it | 13:53 |
| kralle | i whant to redirect a dns query | 13:53 |
| ratcheer | Navion: Ok, thanks. I'll be back, later. | 13:54 |
| tensorpudding | export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH | 13:54 |
| kralle | if i run the hotspot dnsmasq not start cause port 53 is in use | 13:54 |
| ikonia | kralle: again - what has that got to do with network manager, you need to explain your setup / problem if you want help | 13:54 |
| DevilSolution | is the syntax im using even right? PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/MyName/scala-2.8.1.final/bin" | 13:54 |
| tensorpudding | oh, don't do that! | 13:54 |
| ikonia | kralle: 53 is a dns server - but again what has this got to do with network manager ? | 13:54 |
| kralle | ikonia: i have ubuntu , i whant to run dnsmasq And a wifi hotspot | 13:54 |
| DevilSolution | becuase after source ~/.profile its still not showing in the echo $PATH | 13:54 |
| tensorpudding | you're not adding it to PATH, you're resetting PATH | 13:54 |
| tensorpudding | then all of your other stuff would cease to appear in PATH | 13:54 |
| kralle | ikonia: bif dnsmasq running , my hotspot connect and disconne t same moment | 13:55 |
| === tdgunes|away is now known as tdgunes | ||
| ikonia | kralle: ok - I'm going to stop talking to you now as you've refused to explain your setup, you complain that you can't use it with network manager but also refuse to explain how you are using network manager | 13:55 |
| ikonia | kralle: best of luck | 13:55 |
| tensorpudding | DevilSolution, by the way, $HOME would be /home/user | 13:55 |
| tensorpudding | so that's redundant | 13:55 |
| DevilSolution | i added it in the .profile file not in bash | 13:55 |
| kralle | ikonia: i explained 10x retarded asshole | 13:55 |
| ikonia | kralle: tone down the language and name calling | 13:55 |
| tensorpudding | the quotes are unnecessary too | 13:55 |
| DevilSolution | ahh okay so its a syntactical error? let me try again brb | 13:55 |

| daswort | any ideas? A mesa-bug? | 13:59 |
| DevilSolution | tensorpudding, okay still no luck :/ | 14:06 |
| DevilSolution | is there a GUI i can use? | 14:07 |
| tensorpudding | DevilSolution, what is your PATH right now? | 14:07 |
| tensorpudding | echo $PATH on the terminal will tell you | 14:07 |
| DevilSolution | /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 14:07 |
| tensorpudding | what about echo $SHELL | 14:07 |
| dell | exit | 14:07 |
| toumbo | Guys how to run a script as root? | 14:08 |
| DevilSolution | /bin/bash | 14:08 |
| tensorpudding | DevilSolution, okay, at the last line of your ~/.bashrc file, add | 14:08 |
| ikonia | toumbo: just use sudo | 14:08 |
| tensorpudding | export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH | 14:08 |
| toumbo | ikonia sudo and then? | 14:09 |
| ikonia | toumbo: then the script | 14:09 |
| tensorpudding | and then run bash, and do echo $PATH again | 14:09 |
| DevilSolution | okie dokie 2 min | 14:09 |
| tensorpudding | conversely we could all just give up, and you could go copy all of the files in that scala-whatever/bin directory into /usr/local/bin | 14:10 |
| d4n137 | Question: Now that Tomboy has been removed from Ubuntu 12.04, what does the future hold for UbuntuOne/Tomboy integration? | 14:10 |
| tensorpudding | you'd have to use gksudo nautilus to bring up a "superuser" file manager so you have the permissions though | 14:10 |
| DevilSolution | hmmm | 14:14 |
| DevilSolution | weird | 14:14 |
| DevilSolution | somethings changed but im trying to figure out what, it hasnt added scala-version.final/bin but its added something | 14:15 |
| tensorpudding | it probably added /home/user/bin, for user being whatever your username is | 14:15 |
| DevilSolution | okay its added home/myname/bin | 14:15 |
| DevilSolution | yeh | 14:16 |
| tensorpudding | yes | 14:16 |
| tensorpudding | so | 14:16 |
| DevilSolution | add the contents of scala/bin to bin? | 14:16 |
| tensorpudding | yes | 14:16 |
| tensorpudding | then run eclipse from inside the terminal | 14:16 |
| DevilSolution | okie dokie | 14:16 |
| tensorpudding | and it should work | 14:16 |
| tensorpudding | it'll work when you launch it from the dock if you log out again | 14:16 |
| DevilSolution | i see, if it works ill do a restart | 14:17 |
| d4n137 | Second attempt... | 14:17 |

| Oer | d4n137, Tomboy is just dropped from the install-cd | 14:20 |
| Dr-Willis-Of-Lov | Tomboy is handy. but It and UbuntuOne could be 'leveraged/marketed' a lot better. | 14:21 |

| cool | mcl0vin, you should read https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/index.html | 14:36 |
| __Alex_ | Navion: in /etc/default/grub, there is a line 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"', add there "nomodeset", so it would be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset", save it, and then do a 'update-grub2' | 14:36 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: because you've not configured gnome network manager | 14:36 |
| mernilio | ikonia: why..? I wish i could tell you. | 14:36 |
| ikonia | mernilio: ok - then please stop. Keep in mind the topic of this channel is ubuntu support discussion | 14:36 |
| mcl0vin | cool: am not in 11.10 | 14:36 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: then change the url to whatever version you are using | 14:36 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: start putting a little common sense behind your working | 14:37 |
| cool | damo22, I want to backup my root drive, so I think dd should be useful for me. but will it erase the destination as well? | 14:37 |
| mernilio | Its a matter of death and sorrow. | 14:37 |
| __Alex_ | Navion: Now, you should be in VESA once you reboot. | 14:37 |
| ikonia | mernilio: please stop. | 14:37 |
| cool | mcl0vin, what distro & version are you using? | 14:37 |
| acicula | cool it will yeah | 14:37 |
| mcl0vin | cool: got it and thank you for the link | 14:37 |
| damo22 | cool: it will simply write block for block from the source to the destination until either it finishes, or it doesnt fit and it will stop | 14:37 |
| mernilio | imbezol: you are right! From now on im your un-charged help with linux guy! :-) | 14:37 |
| mcl0vin | cool: ikonia corrected me for this matter :) | 14:38 |
| mcl0vin | reading time then | 14:38 |
| mamece2 | how can i change a folders and the files in it permissions? | 14:38 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: it's sounds like it's slowing you down, but it will make it all move faster in the long run | 14:38 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: a little background will really help, I promise | 14:38 |
| damo22 | cool: ideally you should send the output to a file not another block device, otherwise you wont know where the end of the drive is | 14:39 |
| mernilio | For the record: You who dont are here for any reason. Please go away! | 14:39 |
| cool | damo22, good idea but how do I send it to a file? any syntax help? or should I go RTFM way! :P | 14:40 |
| ikonia | cool: please tone it back with things like RTFM | 14:40 |
| cool | ikonia, what, did I offend you? | 14:40 |
| mcl0vin | ikonia: no i really do respect that and i beleive in it too. and i really meant it when i said THANK YOU | 14:40 |
| damo22 | cool: dd if=/dev/DRIVE of=/path/to/file | 14:40 |
| Navion | _Alex_: OK here goes... Thanks | 14:40 |

| ubottu | cool: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 14:41 |
| damo22 | cool: bear in mind the whole drive must fit in the target mountpoint | 14:41 |

| cool | oCean, ikonia : In Earlier days when I was active, things like RTFM was highly encouraged as they reduced support time. It seems things have changed now :) | 14:45 |
| __Alex_ | astralbloke9: No, but it can make your computer usefull for free | 14:45 |
| astralbloke9 | k thx | 14:45 |
| oCean | cool: trying to keep the channels familyfriendly and professional, thank you | 14:45 |
| ikonia | cool: just think about what RTFM means - then consider what you are saying to a channel of strangers of mixed ages and cultures | 14:45 |
| cool | oCean, you can be sure about that :) | 14:46 |

| ikonia | no, it's people offering their time and help for free | 14:47 |
| tensorpudding | we're that bored :P | 14:47 |

| oCean | T_H_X: wrong channel | 14:49 |

| damo22 | Chotaz: write a bash script | 14:58 |
| Chotaz | damo22: i have no idea, what's why i got here for help :) | 14:59 |
| cool | Chotaz, Sounds like you are trying to find duplicates? | 14:59 |
| Chotaz | cool: pretty much | 15:00 |
| damo22 | Chotaz: if you have too many to do manually, it might be easier to write a script to do it | 15:00 |
| damo22 | Chotaz: how many files are there to check roughly? | 15:00 |
| Chotaz | damo22: not really files, directories instead, we might be talking of about 100+ duplicate directories i wanna get out of the genreA/Flac folder | 15:01 |
| Navion | Has anyone used ZFS on Ubuntu 10.04? | 15:01 |
| cool | Chotaz, well, then try fdupes. Simple! http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/10/08/find-duplicate-copies-of-files/ | 15:01 |

| zenon | hello, how do I maintain linux? | 15:03 |
| damo22 | cool: you might want to pipe the output to gzip | 15:04 |
| damo22 | cool: it might be possible to run a separate process that compresses the file on the fly, even though youve already started to dump | 15:05 |
| cool | Chotaz, Hmm...I don't know. Its been long time since I used this. Try checking out the manual :) | 15:06 |

| oCean | !8.10 | shahzad | 15:11 |
| ubottu | shahzad: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 15:11 |
| bazhang | shahzad, 8.04 , not 8.10 | 15:11 |
| shahzad | i need to upgrade firefox what can i do | 15:11 |
| __Alex_ | LTS is LTS for 3 years. 8.10 was released in 2008. Now, it's 4 years after that, so no | 15:11 |
| oCean | __Alex_: 8.10 was no LTS, besides that LTS is 5 years supported for server edition | 15:12 |
| oCean | 12.04 LTS will be supported for 5 years both desktop and server :) | 15:12 |

| tjigi-fo | fyksen, there's a reason the school blocked those sites - so your friend can stay off facebook and learn some things that will later in life be useful | 15:16 |
| Chotaz | fyksen: search UltraSurf, we used it at my school all the time, works great o n Win too := | 15:17 |
| fyksen | tjigi-fo, I know, but his apartment is kinda small, and he is at school after the classes to study. Then it's nice to have a way to connect to facebook. Also it's fun for me to learn how to set it up | 15:17 |

| StepNjump | 1:3.3.4-0ubuntu1 oCean | 15:23 |
| kanzie | ? | 15:23 |
| cool | red5, thing is, At time of hibernation, All data present in memory is written onto SWAP parititon in your HDD. | 15:23 |
| acicula | !swap | 15:23 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 15:23 |
| red5 | acicula: ok ! | 15:24 |
| ejoycho | hi | 15:24 |
| acicula | red5: per the faq, i wouldnt make it slower then 8GB, it might still hibernate with less if you are not using that much memory. it also might not hibernate with 8 if your swap is filled to the brim | 15:25 |

| Dweezahr | no, services are down once the computer is down, when your nic supports wake on lan that is a way to start it up, or physically access the computer | 16:10 |

| mufflon | Dweezahr: imho in /var/log | 16:25 |
| florian | FesterJester: what response do you get? | 16:25 |
| Dweezahr | FesterJester, you have to check some logs in /var/log | 16:25 |
| Dweezahr | there are many logs over there, one of them is right | 16:26 |

| mufflon | harry_: please ctrl+alt+f1 | 16:26 |
| Dweezahr | florian, when things crash see if firefox is still able to load a webpage, so check that not everything related to internet is down, then you can rule out that the couse is the network card | 16:27 |

| Dweezahr | windows for this, and linux and bsd for servers | 16:58 |
| urlin2u | falcom, your missing the /bootmgr on sda1 if that has been the active partition. you can rebuild that setup with all these commands but to be honest you might try seeking a user Pzt at the ##windows channel. http://paste.ubuntu.com/813664/ | 16:58 |

| florian_ | mah454: have a look at dvb-utils and there are several tools which can show dvb, like vlc | 17:04 |
| Dweezahr | falcom, then you have to install Grub, but that is always a pain, chicken and the egg situation | 17:05 |
| RLa | how to see my ubuntu version with ubuntu that has unity? | 17:05 |
| florian_ | cat /etc/issue | 17:05 |
| oCean | RLa: lsb_release -a | 17:05 |
| falcom | Dweezahr: is it possible with these instruction https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 17:06 |
| falcom | Dweezahr: instaling via ubuntu live | 17:06 |
| Dweezahr | falcom, that is how I do that usually | 17:06 |
| RLa | oCean, that assumes i'm enable to find terminal emulator here :) | 17:06 |
| RLa | that took half hour | 17:06 |
| sKew^_- | RLa, "ctrl+alt+t" ? | 17:07 |
| RLa | sKew^_-, thanks, did not know about that shortcut | 17:08 |
| urlin2u | falcom, you need to chroot into ubuntu and purge grub grub-pc and grub-common the reinstall grub-pc grub-common and when asked where grub goes choose sda use the shift bar to tick sda. | 17:08 |
| sKew^_- | RLa, your welcom :) | 17:08 |
| urlin2u | *then | 17:08 |
| Dweezahr | urlin2u, that is what is happening with the ubuntu live disk | 17:09 |
| Dweezahr | that is enough for the chroot, just select right hdd right? | 17:09 |
| wildc4rd | cheers blip1, that seems to work. | 17:09 |
| falcom | Dweezahr: so...... would "Boot Repair" repair my outdated stuff automatically? | 17:09 |
| falcom | actually hmm | 17:09 |
| urlin2u | Dweezahr, not sur I understand, the user has grub legacy and grub 2 as part of this mess. | 17:10 |
| Dweezahr | urlin2u, ah thats fun | 17:10 |
| Dweezahr | Had that too, but reinstalled everything then | 17:10 |
| falcom | urlin2u: Dweezahr : would this utility do the hardwork for me? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 17:10 |
| Dweezahr | 5 os on one pc back then | 17:10 |
| cloudgeek | any command line video player good enough like vlc | 17:11 |
| Dweezahr | urlin2u, that command installs grub2? on fedora you need grub2 in all command you type to install grub | 17:11 |
| ranok | cloudgeek: mplayer? | 17:11 |
| urlin2u | Dweezahr, 5 here right now one hd | 17:11 |
| Dweezahr | urlin2u, old bios? | 17:11 |
| Dweezahr | I had | 17:11 |
| Dweezahr | I needed that emulation thing in grub2 | 17:11 |
| cloudgeek | ranok : i don't have gui , i am ubuntu server is that work there | 17:11 |
| urlin2u | Dweezahr, these are correct in ubuntu. | 17:11 |
| ranok | cloudgeek: so where do you want the video output? | 17:12 |
| eQuiNoX__ | hey everyone, any ubuntu tutorial that uses a lot of dbus? :) id like to try and read some code that uses a lot of it | 17:12 |
| urlin2u | Dweezahr, grub-pc grub-common are grub 2 | 17:12 |
| Dweezahr | okay, but that was confusing | 17:12 |
| eQuiNoX__ | s/tutorial/project | 17:12 |
| ranok | eQuiNoX__: perhaps empathy? | 17:12 |
| plm | Hi all, now dont have more specific version to net book right... is just desktop (for netbook, notebook and desktops) correct this afirmation or not | 17:13 |
| urlin2u | Dweezahr, lol not if you know ubuntu's use of grub commands.:) | 17:13 |
| cloudgeek | randok : in my bash or terminal ,or any video player for ubuntu server so that we can watch movie | 17:13 |
| eQuiNoX__ | ranok: thanks | 17:13 |
| HoNgOuRu | what do I need to view the open applications small icons next to the time and speaker icon ? | 17:13 |
| HoNgOuRu | Im using gnome shell | 17:13 |
| sKew^_- | plm, what are you saying? now dont? | 17:13 |
| Dweezahr | urlin2u, fedora did keep the old commands and uses install-grub2 etc. so when switching between the two os I found out is was different on ubuntu | 17:13 |
| Dweezahr | but nevermind | 17:13 |
| ranok | cloudgeek: you will need X to display gfx and video | 17:14 |
| urlin2u | Dweezahr, yeah, I use fedora two, not as easy, longer commands. | 17:14 |
| urlin2u | to | 17:14 |
| cloudgeek | randok : okay not possible without X | 17:14 |
| falcom | urlin2u: so is there a site that can guide me to do the chroot and purge thing? | 17:14 |
| Dweezahr | urlin2u, you noticed ubuntu was vulnerable for a recent bug and fedora was not? | 17:14 |
| falcom | i dont wanna take your precious time | 17:14 |
| urlin2u | falcom, yes hold on | 17:15 |
| oCean | Dweezahr, urlin2u: if you like to continue the grub discussion, please do so in #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:15 |
| plm | sKew^_-: in the past has diferente versionofubuntuto netbook and desktops, and now? | 17:15 |
| AmelieWhat | Hey guys I am a new ubuntu-user and I ve got one question: I have installed ubuntu with the an encrypted homefolder and then I got the advice with the randomely generated passphrase which should be stored safely. When someone finds the Passphrase, is he able to decrypt my files? And what happens if I don´t print the passphrase out, could it make some problems in the future? | 17:15 |
| oCean | !une | plm correct | 17:16 |
| ubottu | plm correct: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. | 17:16 |
| === Guest36712 is now known as Octane | ||
| plm | oCean: and why 12.4 has a version for netbook? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/precise/ | 17:17 |
| sKew^_- | plm, i never liked the netbook version :/ | 17:17 |
| sKew^_- | why do you want netbook version of a system? | 17:18 |
| oCean | plm: that is netboot, not netbook | 17:18 |
| oCean | plm: with netboot you can install through network | 17:18 |
| urlin2u | falcom, follow the chroot commands once you're there run apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common then run apt-get install grub-pc grub-common then when asked where grub goes choose sda only use the shift bar to tick it then the esc key to high light then enter. any commands wrong incorrectly will stop the fix. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 17:18 |
| Dweezahr | Brilliant plm! | 17:19 |
| Dweezahr | I couldnt think of that one | 17:19 |
| plm | oCean: ahh ok but with netbook is for desktop instalation or derver | 17:19 |
| plm | *server | 17:19 |
| oCean | plm: netbook WAS (no longer is) a specific desktop edition for small notebooks | 17:19 |
| urlin2u | falcom, in the link just run the commands to # 9 to bget to the chroot then my commands then a update-grub aftyer all my commands then reboot. | 17:20 |
| urlin2u | get | 17:20 |
| Dweezahr | plm, unity apparantly is a graphics environment like kde or gnome, and from the netbook edition it was implemented in the standard edition | 17:20 |
| falcom | what is your "commands" | 17:21 |
| sKew^_- | plm, ubuntu server is for server, ubuntu desktop is for laptop, desktops, netbooks etc - correct me if a im wrong #ubuntu | 17:21 |
| Dweezahr | sKew^_-, seems right | 17:21 |
| urlin2u | falcom, there are in the post before the last one. | 17:21 |
| oCean | Dweezahr: no, unity is a shell, not a de | 17:21 |
| urlin2u | I made | 17:21 |
| falcom | ah ok the windows one | 17:22 |
| urlin2u | falcom, ^^ | 17:22 |
| sKew^_- | Dweezahr, nice, dont wanna say wrong info | 17:22 |
| Dweezahr | oCean, I only know unitity3d | 17:22 |
| urlin2u | falcom, no you are confused. | 17:22 |
| oCean | Dweezahr: it's a shell around gnome | 17:22 |
| wildc4rd | blip1, it worked, but where does it hide the rip! lol | 17:22 |
| falcom | urlin2u: hmm what should i mount in this case ? my windows or ubuntu? | 17:23 |
| Dweezahr | oCean, a user interface for gnome | 17:23 |
| urlin2u | falcom, follow this then when you have run the the install commands run update-grub follow the chroot commands once you're there run apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common then run apt-get install grub-pc grub-common then when asked where grub goes choose sda only use the shift bar to tick it then the esc key to high light then enter. any commands wrong incorrectly will stop the fix. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 17:23 |
| blip1 | wildc4rd: I think the default is your home folder - see the preferences | 17:23 |

| bobweaver | ampharos: in a sandbox ? | 17:26 |
| ampharos | on actual hardware | 17:26 |
| oCean | ampharos: In my experience you have to fix it from windows first | 17:26 |
| ampharos | Windows performed an unclean shutdown, so the disk is still dirty | 17:27 |
| ampharos | What if Windows doesn't boot? for me it's just booting into recovery mode where it wants to restore to factory settings (lolno) | 17:27 |
| Dweezahr | ampharos, use grub rescue disk to start windows | 17:27 |
| urlin2u | falcom, I can't walk you through the whole process, read the link clearly, and follow the commands or wait for a user who can do this. | 17:27 |
| oCean | ampharos: I don't think it's possible to fix the ntfs from Ubuntu | 17:28 |
| urlin2u | falcom, having to walk people through is not my forte. | 17:28 |
| sKew^_- | btw what is a dirty NTFS partition one whit porn onit? | 17:29 |
| TheBigOnee | I forgive a password on my .rar archive.. How I can hack it with ubuntu ? | 17:29 |
| Dweezahr | ampharos, maybe when using ubuntu you can fix ntfs, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-corrupted-windows-ntfs-filesystem-ubuntu/ | 17:29 |
| ampharos | I don't need to do an exhaustive check, just need to mount it, which ubuntu will not to | 17:29 |

| bobweaver | TheBigOnee: ask #blackbuntu or #backtrack-linux | 17:30 |
| urlin2u | falcom, the ubuntu forums have group of users who do this stuff, if needed go there post the latest bootscript don't run any commands after it and wait for help, thatks where I learned this I use to be in this group of helpers there. | 17:30 |
| Dweezahr | oCean, indeed, people should first google than ask | 17:30 |
| TheBigOnee | thanks | 17:30 |
| oCean | Dweezahr: don't be silly, we are here to help. | 17:30 |
| Dweezahr | yes, but when no googling, the help is not sufficient | 17:31 |
| Dweezahr | too many questions | 17:31 |
| sKew^_- | oCean, okey. but iam not gonna explane what bruteforce is | 17:31 |
| urlin2u | TheBigOnee, sorry man I don't do Pm's. :) | 17:31 |
| MonkeyDust | Dweezahr some people are not skilled enough to know what's, hence don't know what to google for | 17:31 |
| bobweaver | this is a support channel I think we like the questions (just sayin ) | 17:31 |
| MonkeyDust | what's wrong* | 17:31 |
| Dweezahr | MonkeyDust, exactly, pointing in the direction to where to google would be very helpfull is my experience, so saying to google is good | 17:32 |
| sKew^_- | bobweaver, but bruteforceing issent a ubuntu related question? or is it if its on a ubuntu platform? | 17:32 |
| oCean | Dweezahr: referring others to google is not acceptable here. If you wish to discuss channel rules, do so in #ubuntu-ops, not here | 17:32 |
| bobweaver | sKew^_-: Oo What oO | 17:33 |
| bobweaver | sKew^_-: say that john is misconfigured because of something to do with ubunut then it is a support question but a question how do I do a dic attack is not | 17:34 |
| urlin2u | falcom, just so you know this is not a gui fix it will need commands from the terminal as I have given you so just a heads up . | 17:35 |

| irina_ | theadmin: Fatal Service error: Unrecognized option autoconfigures | 18:42 |
| ranok | I always use the ubuntu creator | 18:42 |
| theadmin | irina_: err... I'm just saying that X configures automatically. | 18:42 |

| bobweaver | scott__: yes I am looking at config now | 18:45 |

| ccolorado | Hello I have a netbook / tablet pc. on the screen I have a hardware button meant for screen rotation. How can i catch its keypress (most likely a multimedia like key) when pressed to run a command ( my screen rotation script ). I guess i first need to find out what the keypress code is. Any help ? | 18:47 |
| irina_ | theadmin: yes i know, i have moved the xorg config back to my ~ and now my lightdm works fine... | 18:49 |
| bobweaver | scott__: there are a couple things that I see . please take a look at some of these links http://www.googlubuntu.com/results/?cx=006238239194895611142%3Au-ocqbntw_o&cof=FORID%3A9&ie=UTF-8&q=10ec%3A8139&as_qdr=m2&sa=Google+Search&lang=en | 18:50 |
| zykotick9 | irina_: if you want to generate an Xorg (based on your hardare), stop Xorg (lightdm) then run "sudo X -configure" and then copy the generated xorg.conf (it will tell you where it puts it) to /etc/X11/ | 18:50 |
| theadmin | ccolorado: If you're using Gnome/Unity, there is an app called "Keyboard Shortcuts", in XFCE it's called just "Keyboard". Go there and create a new shortcut. It's straightforward really, define command, press key | 18:50 |
| bobweaver | look at blacklisting one of them 8139 might be the cp one I bet then you might not need ndiswrapper | 18:50 |

| xSmurf | how would I go about using loop devices in an initrd hook? it seems like I can't get the module to load or the devices created properly | 18:54 |
| babolatpdtp | zykotick9: but it's just for creating a bootable CD/USB, not actually running it. like right now im trying to get ubuntu onto a USB so i can put it onto my new server, but it keeps failing and I'm wondering if that message is the reason | 18:55 |
| ccolorado | theadmin, wow xev didnt react to the keypress, I may need a driver or something | 18:56 |

| urlin2u | grubbyone, grub 2 has a search for other OS yep. | 19:01 |
| rick_ | <theadmin > it failed | 19:02 |
| urlin2u | grubbyone, you have to be booted to that install run sudo update-grub | 19:02 |

| Myrtti | player: not even the DVD contains all the packages | 19:32 |
| zykotick9 | Zac_o_O: so user is root and group is root | 19:33 |

| Zac_o_O | ah, so I guess I need to add a group and change permissions of the directory to make the owner root and group something else? | 19:34 |
| zykotick9 | Zac_o_O: perhaps explaining what you want to do would help? | 19:34 |

| WoC | !root | 19:50 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:50 |

| freigeist_ | Gnea: in all possible ports | 20:02 |
| frybye | zykotick9: well - that is also an answer i guess.. but there must be some way to revert to the default grafic driver.. like deleting the xorg.config or..? | 20:03 |
| zykotick9 | frybye: by doing the manual nvidia.com install - i have NO idea. I expect you're going to have lots of problems... | 20:04 |

| WoC | sKew^_- i noticed, and i reckon you dont plan to change the pl file so 555 is good | 20:16 |
| Karvis | If I get Ubuntu and WineHQ for it can I play games like I play in Windows? Is it going to lag more or something? No one answers in WineHQ channel. | 20:16 |
| auronandace | frybye: there is an uninstall section here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 20:16 |
| frybye | ok thanks... | 20:16 |

| metap0d | This is a stupid question but I installed ubuntu server on a desktop I don't use so I can become familiar with Linux by connecting to to it remotely with ssh | 20:44 |
| za3im | office 2010 ita | 20:44 |
| sKew^_- | dtmbmw325i, cd ~/* ? | 20:44 |
| metap0d | when I installed server I added OpenSSH server and now I just want to connect with putty on windows : / | 20:44 |
| metap0d | I try putting my IP in the hostname and hitting connect but it times out | 20:44 |
| metap0d | have I done something wrong? | 20:45 |
| ts2 | metap0d: try the IP address, rather than the host name | 20:45 |
| metap0d | This guide mentions setting up keys https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html but I don't mind just doing a simple username/password combo | 20:45 |
| dtmbmw325i | sKew^_-, ? | 20:45 |
| metap0d | ts2: I should have said so ... I did use the ip address | 20:45 |
| crizzy | metap0d: likey not, i suspect it's a network problem. nat? | 20:45 |
| sKew^_- | dtmbmw325i, you handed a cd ~/ over to me ;P | 20:46 |

| oCean | metap0d: are you certain ssh-server is started on the server? | 20:46 |
| metap0d | oCean: No I am fairly new to this ... but I did have to restart it earlier and it didn't give me an error when it did so | 20:46 |
| dtmbmw325i | sKew^_-, unfortunately I had to sent it in individual packets. You will need to reassemble it | 20:47 |
| oCean | metap0d: are you able to ping the ip address from the windows machine? | 20:47 |
| === honey_pie is now known as ozior | ||
| metap0d | oCean: I'm sorry if this sounds dumb ... but I just accessed it using the internal IP given to me from my router (192.168etc). I would however like to access this machine remotely ... that's what I am trying to do | 20:47 |
| metap0d | So it worked ok using the ip on the network ... I want to be able to access it through the internet though? | 20:48 |
| oCean | metap0d: oh ok. Are you using a router or modem? Usually you have to open up a port | 20:48 |
| metap0d | oCean: I'm a little confused ... it's a modem with a router connected lol. If you mean what issues my IP it is the router | 20:49 |
| Star_Light | I am using ubuntu 10.10 is there any file in my system... I mean system file which implement the memory stack of a programm? | 20:49 |
| Star_Light | implements* | 20:49 |
| oCean | metap0d: ok, but usually you have to setup portforwarding on the router, so that incoming connections there, are forwarded to your server | 20:50 |
| ts2 | metap0d: you need to instruct your router to forward external port 22 to port 22 on the internal IP of your computer. it also helps if you can tell your router to always give a specific IP to the MAC of your computer, so you don't need to keep changing it. | 20:50 |
| oCean | metap0d: probably ts2 can help you a bit more.. I have to go | 20:52 |
| metap0d | oCean: Thanks for the help! Much appreciated. | 20:52 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, what router/modem do you use? | 20:52 |

| metap0d | D-Link DIR-628 Hardware Version: A2 | 20:53 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, okay give me one second | 20:53 |
| metap0d | I found the port forwarding section but I need to find out how to have it work by name as opposed to IP | 20:53 |
| rick_ | ok i typed in terminal apt-cache search gdb whats the next step | 20:53 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, you will have to use IP in your router | 20:54 |
| WoC | oDesk did you remount rw ? | 20:54 |
| oDesk | WoC: yes | 20:54 |
| za3im | hola | 20:54 |
| rick_ | anybody??? | 20:54 |
| metap0d | dtmbmw325i: Won't that technically open me to the entire web? | 20:54 |
| WoC | oDesk start the network manually, /etc/init.d/networking start | 20:54 |
| metap0d | dtmbmw325i: also it says I have to be within the lan subnet | 20:55 |
| oDesk | WoC: i did, it's just prints "stop/waiting" | 20:55 |
| WoC | oDesk check if the nic is there; ifconfig -a | 20:55 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, on port 22 yes, but you are going to be open to the web anyway, that is the point you are trying to create isnt it? | 20:55 |
| metap0d | sorry I had lost connectivity | 20:56 |
| _Al3x_ | hey guys | 20:56 |
| metap0d | sorry I had lost connectivity | 20:56 |
| _Al3x_ | does anyone have some time for me ? | 20:56 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, did you see my last message? | 20:56 |
| Ta2man1a | There is about over 1,500+ people in here. | 20:56 |
| oDesk | WoC: eth0 is there even wlan0 but no IP | 20:56 |
| metap0d | dtmbmw325i: Probably not unfortunately | 20:57 |
| Ta2man1a | Wow | 20:57 |
| _Al3x_ | i just installed ubuntu 11.04 on 2 laptops but none of them can connect to wireless | 20:57 |
| _Al3x_ | what shall i do ? | 20:57 |
| WoC | oDesk try; /etc/init.d/networking restart | 20:57 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, you asked about being open to the entire internet, unfortunately that is what you are requesting when you open the port for yourself also | 20:57 |
| ts2 | metap0d: see http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DIR-628/SSH.htm for pictures | 20:58 |
| WoC | oDesk u are using eth0, righ ? | 20:58 |
| WoC | s/righ/right/ | 20:58 |
| oDesk | WoC: yes, but still no ip's | 20:58 |
| WoC | oDesk cable ok ? | 20:58 |
| cfhowlett | _Al3x_: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-classic/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html | 20:59 |
| oDesk | WoC: yes it does work on GUI on login screen with this cable | 20:59 |
| _Al3x_ | i'll check this out | 20:59 |
| Ta2man1a | There are lots of lurkers in this chat room. | 20:59 |
| WoC | oDesk try this then; ifconfig eth0 down ; /etc/init.d/networking restart | 21:00 |
| metap0d | ts2: I managed to get it working if I specify the internal router IP like you said. I do however run into that issue that the IP could change any time ... I'm looking under the headers for a way to map a specific IP to a hostname that connects but can't find it ... is that a common feature on most routers? | 21:00 |
| ts2 | metap0d: unfortunately, it's not that common | 21:01 |
| oDesk | WoC: yet no ip, i'd give it static ip | 21:01 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, you will need to set up dhcp reservation. Should be in the setup tab | 21:01 |
| metap0d | dtmbmw325i: Oh snap it exists : O | 21:02 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, if you want to access your computer via a hostname rather than IP you need a dyndns account | 21:02 |
| dtmbmw325i | across the internet that is | 21:02 |
| oDesk | WoC: there was no configuration for dhcp on eth0 in /etc/networking/interfaces, i set this and now it has ip | 21:06 |
| oDesk | WoC: now i'll dist-upgrade | 21:06 |
| scott__ | bobweaver sorted my wireless problem edited my modules file /etc/modules thx for you hlp | 21:07 |

| willwork4foo | So I have a question that Google can't answer for me this evening..... In Nautilus, when I go to Browse the network, I see all my SMB, AFP, FTP and NFS servers on the network that are announcing by Zeroconf. Which is lovely. However, I have no idea which icon is the SMB server icon, which is the AFP icon, which is the FTP icon, etc. Any ideas how I can set something up to easily differentiate? | 21:12 |

| metap0d | I won't lie I didnt expect to have a fully functioning server in less than 2 hours | 21:14 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, did you get a dyndns account? | 21:14 |
| metap0d | dtmbmw325i: I'm doing that now | 21:14 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, the best thing to do is install a client for dyndns to automatically update your external IP on the dyndns servers | 21:15 |
| dtmbmw325i | metap0d, your router might have that option also | 21:15 |

| herodude | shell scripts of which rc. directory executed after login | 21:20 |
| itaylor57 | !java | 21:20 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 21:20 |
| SeLEct | Lo lads, I was thinking of doing a full system disk encryption for my ubuntu OS. I usally used truecrypt on windows for this. But it doesn't seem as if this is possible with truecrypt on ubuntu. Wanted to ask you lads what i can do. | 21:21 |
| herodude | shell scripts of which rc. directory executed after login | 21:21 |
| dtmbmw325i | !encrypt | 21:22 |

| cfhowlett | SeLEct: ecryptfs https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/ecryptfs.html | 21:22 |
| SeLEct | Btw will it work with dualboot? | 21:22 |
| SeLEct | I also got win7 installed | 21:22 |
| dtmbmw325i | SeLEct, I would assume it wouldn't matter. You should only be encrypting partitions | 21:23 |
| herodude | help........! | 21:24 |
| SeLEct | hmm ok. I'm assuming ecryptfs is secure? | 21:24 |
| === Arnold_ is now known as Arnold | ||
| dtmbmw325i | SeLEct, that I can't say as Ive never used it | 21:25 |
| SeLEct | One last question. How can i see how ubuntu has installed itself? How many partitions it's created etc, as it did all that auto. | 21:25 |
| dtmbmw325i | SeLEct, are you in unity? | 21:26 |
| SeLEct | I have the latest one yeah. 11.10 | 21:26 |
| herodude | shell scripts of which rc. directory executed after login | 21:26 |
| dtmbmw325i | SeLEct, open unity dash and type gparted and hit enter | 21:26 |
| SeLEct | i get nothing | 21:27 |
| wrektjet | hey so i know in my older install to get different desktop backgrounds (which help keep me oriented) i could do so if i stopped writing the desktop from the default. is tehre a way to do that in unity? | 21:27 |
| dtmbmw325i | SeLEct, you may need to install it from software center | 21:27 |
| SeLEct | Thanks m8. And i'll see if i can find some information on ecryptfs. It's a shame that full disk encryption doesn't seem to work. | 21:29 |
| Slart | dtmbmw325i, SeLEct: the "disk utility" app shows partitions as well | 21:29 |
| WoC | When i put a "hold" on a number of packages, they shouldnt be listed as "The following packages have been kept back" during dist-upgrade, should they ? | 21:29 |
| dtmbmw325i | Slart, that is true I just like how gparted does it better. Personal preference I guess | 21:30 |
| fabiobik | hi guys im using 10.04 LTS | 21:30 |
| SeLEct | btw gparted only shows my windows partitions lol | 21:30 |

| SeLEct | LMFAO, soz m8 | 21:32 |
| cfhowlett | fabiobik: wild a** guess, but I'd say you're running 32 bit but installed zend 64 bit | 21:32 |
| dtmbmw325i | SeLEct, do you see the linux partitions now? | 21:33 |
| fabiobik | cfhowlett, ? my version is 64 | 21:33 |
| SeLEct | Yeah, Well seems like it has created. swap, extended(?) and / (most storage used here. So i have to encrypt the entire / i guess. | 21:33 |
| fabiobik | im using untuntu 10.04 x64 | 21:33 |
| cfhowlett | fabiobik: as I said, a wild**s guess. Try here: http://forums.zend.com/viewforum.php?f=48 | 21:34 |
| Slart | fabiobik: can you run "uname -a" in a terminal and tell us what it says | 21:34 |
| fabiobik | Slart, sure | 21:34 |
| dtmbmw325i | SeLEct, / is the filesystem directory and swap is extra memory space on the harddrive like a pagefile | 21:34 |

| auronandace | Trfsrfr: check alsamixer | 21:37 |
| WoC | fabiobik i would try toverify that, a 32 bit app woudlnt be able to make use of 64 bit plugins | 21:37 |
| Slart | fabiobik: I meant your ubuntu distro seems to be 64 bits.. and I was wondering if you've checked the zend studio-forums? | 21:37 |
| Trfsrfr | how do i check alsamixer? | 21:38 |
| auronandace | Trfsrfr: open a terminal and type alsamixer | 21:38 |
| Slart | fabiobik: did you install the 64 bit version of zend studio? I'm guessing this error would pop up if a 32bit app is trying to use a 64bit library | 21:39 |

| ben__ | hey everyone. I have a quick couple of questions. First off, is there a sudo apt-get for Puppy Linux? Also, if there is and I download it, is there a way I can uninstall the 2 distros I have now? (Ubuntu and Xubuntu) | 21:40 |
| Slart | FabioFlinstone: try getting a screenshot of the window you're describing | 21:41 |
| FabioFlinstone | slart screenshot? | 21:41 |
| Bsims | FabioFlinstone: it needs root and doesn't prompt you to enter it? | 21:41 |
| FabioFlinstone | Slart, OH. picture. okay, one sec. | 21:41 |
| cfhowlett | ben__: puppy isn't supported in this channel. | 21:41 |
| penguinman1337 | ben__, puppy is its own distro, not a different de for buntu. | 21:42 |
| xXthe_red_spyXx | hi | 21:42 |
| Slart | ben__: I think you'll have to install puppylinux from scratch.. like you probably did with ubuntu.. I don't think you can do it from "inside" ubuntu | 21:42 |
| Trfsrfr | auronandace, ive got alsamixer open in terminal, now what am I looking for? | 21:42 |
| FabioFlinstone | Bsims, its prompts me, but there is no yess button | 21:42 |
| auronandace | Trfsrfr: any of them muted? (MM) | 21:42 |
| FabioFlinstone | Bsims, and the password never works cus i have none. | 21:42 |
| ben__ | cfhowlett: Then could you answer my other question? Is there a way I can uninstall Ubuntu from Xubuntu? | 21:42 |
| ben__ | -_- | 21:42 |

| === Gordon_Freeman is now known as Guest52687 | ||

| auronandace | ben__: what? if you want to delete ubuntu just use a livecd (partedmagic is what i use) and delete the partitions with gparted | 21:48 |
| Zirox | Flannel thanks m8. I'll use my thub device. | 21:48 |
| Zirox | thumb* | 21:48 |

| ben__ | So if I install gparted, I can delete Ubuntu partitons? Is there a apt-get command for g parted? | 21:50 |
| === Gordon is now known as Guest66000 | ||
| Slart | ben__: sudo apt-get install gparted | 21:50 |
| Trfsrfr | auronandace, http://imagebin.org/197501 | 21:50 |
| Bodsda | ben__: sudo apt-get install gparted I would imagine | 21:50 |
| Zirox | Thanks a lot guys. And thanks for using your spare time to help out lost souls like us :P | 21:50 |
| auronandace | ben__: you can't delete a partition that you are running from (thats why you need to use a livecd with gparted on it) | 21:51 |

| FabioFlinstone | run it from a what? | 21:52 |
| Bodsda | FabioFlinstone: Terminal - command line | 21:52 |
| Trfsrfr | auronandace, and I didnt do anything to make it happen, it just up and quit working | 21:52 |
| FabioFlinstone | I have zero clue where that is. | 21:52 |
| auronandace | Trfsrfr: did the sound used to work at some point? | 21:52 |
| Bodsda | FabioFlinstone: in unity bar, use the search to find the terminal | 21:53 |
| Trfsrfr | auronandace, yes, it worked for a long time, then about 2 weeks ago I upgraded to 11.04; but it did work for 2 weeks, until last night. | 21:53 |

| FabioFlinstone | and it looks like this.... forever. never loads. http://imagebin.org/197504 | 21:56 |
| auronandace | Trfsrfr: recently changed any hardware? | 21:56 |
| cfhowlett | edward_: does the cd appear at all? | 21:56 |
| Gentoo64 | edward_, it should by default.. | 21:56 |
| Trfsrfr | auronandace, no. havent done anything in months | 21:56 |
| edward_ | no, it doesn't even have the cd drive anywhere. it only recognizes my hard drive | 21:57 |
| auronandace | Trfsrfr: in that case i have no idea why the sound suddenly stopped working (i've never trusted doing upgrades though, i always fresh install) | 21:57 |
| FabioFlinstone | owenll, any ideas... | 21:57 |
| Trfsrfr | auronandace, yeah, i held off for a longt time becuase I had these problems last time I upgraded. Now what? | 21:58 |

| ikonia | robertzaccour: no, it's not | 22:33 |
| robertzaccour | pangolin: Its not a website I need help with, its UBUNTU compatibility for viewing. totally related | 22:33 |
| ikonia | stretch: are you sure, it's quite normal for twinview to see a second monitor as a CRT (just depends on its EDID info) | 22:33 |
| Mike9863 | robertzaccour: If you want to try to get it to work with Moonlight then ask their IRC channel. I wasn't suggesting you use it, however. You do not need cable to access broadcast channels on your television. You can buy a coaxial cable and have access to broadcast channels in HD. | 22:34 |

| GBGames | So I recently updated from 10.04 to 11.10 on a Dell Precision M6600. I can't seem to get any 3D graphics programs to work, though, which makes me think that the only reason why Unity seems to look nice is that my CPU/RAM specs are making up for it. | 22:37 |
| marczxc | i'm agree | 22:37 |
| indio | Hi. How do I enable framebuffer consoles instead of TTY? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | stretch: the nvidia and ati cards are closed source, I appreciate how frustrating it can be when updates break them | 22:37 |
| ikonia | GBGames: unity won't run without 3d support on the card, so it's not your ram / cpu making up for it | 22:38 |
| marczxc | :q | 22:38 |
| Dweezahr | ikonia, unity is made for 3d | 22:38 |
| GBGames | ikonia: Not even Unity 2d? | 22:38 |
| ikonia | GBGames: your ram/cpu can't compensate like that | 22:38 |

| Dweezahr | ikonia, they should give it a proper name someday, to avoid all confusion | 22:38 |
| GBGames | I'm not talking about Unity3D, I'm talking about Ubuntu Unity. | 22:39 |
| ikonia | Dweezahr: there is no confusion | 22:39 |
| ikonia | GBGames: that is 3d | 22:39 |

| ikonia | Mike9863: define not working | 22:39 |
| GBGames | ikonia: Ok, so if Unity wouldn't run without 3D graphics, then something else is preventing me from running 3D applications. | 22:39 |

| GBGames | ikonia: Well, as far as I know, I am logged into it. I have no idea if it is "not working" since it runs and I'm not aware of anything that it should do that makes me say "Ah, yes, there's visual proof" since I just installed 11.10 after using 10.04 for years on a different machine. | 22:43 |

| ikonia | GBGames: don't need that, just need you to answer my question | 22:46 |
| ikonia | GBGames: so if you open the hardware drivers tool, does it show the nvidia driver as "in use"? | 22:46 |
| === braiam_ is now known as braiam | ||
| GBGames_ | Yes, it shows "This driver is activated and currently in use" | 22:47 |
| ikonia | GBGames: ok, do you have a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 22:47 |
| Oer | GBGames, is it optimus ? | 22:48 |
| GBGames_ | ikonia: Yes, although it has almost nothing in it. | 22:48 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: does it have a line that says "Driver "nvidia" " | 22:48 |
| ikonia | Oer: my next question, hopefully not | 22:48 |
| Oer | i am afraid it is .. | 22:48 |
| GBGames_ | Oer: It's an NVIDIA Quadro 3000M. | 22:48 |
| GBGames_ | ikonia: No, it doesn't. | 22:48 |
| ikonia | I'm not up on the nvidia models | 22:49 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: ok, that's probably why it's not | 22:49 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: did you run "nvidia-settings" to create an xorg.conf file ? | 22:49 |
| GBGames_ | ikonia: No. | 22:49 |
| maricela | I guess I did smth wrong | 22:49 |
| maricela | now it worked | 22:49 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: that would be the first place to start then, launch it with gksudo nvidia-settings | 22:49 |
| alex__ | hey guys | 22:49 |
| alex__ | can anyone help me with a wireless problem in ubuntu 11.04? | 22:50 |
| GBGames_ | The NVIDIA X Server Settings window comes up, and a message says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." | 22:50 |
| timon | Q: can anyone guide me trough install ATI drivers via USB boot chroot? | 22:50 |
| ikonia | Oer: do you know for certain if this is an optimus card ? | 22:50 |
| Oer | i cannot find it, spoke too soon. | 22:51 |
| ikonia | Oer: no, I can't find it either, but it doens't appear to be behaving like a non-optimus card | 22:51 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: please do "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" do you get any output (use a pastebin please) | 22:52 |
| GBGames_ | It's one line. | 22:52 |
| GBGames_ | nvidia 11713772 0 | 22:52 |
| Oer | ikonia my mistake, i got triggerd by the 3000 in "optimus nvidia gt 525m intell hd 3000" | 22:52 |
| ikonia | Oer: ok, so it doesn't look like it is | 22:52 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: when you do "gksudo nvidia-settings" does the gui allow you to configure the card ? | 22:53 |
| GBGames_ | Well, I get that error I mentioned about needing to run nvidia-xconfig as root, but once I close it, I can check and uncheck some nvidia-settings configuration options, like "Enable ToolTips" or "Display Status Bar" | 22:54 |
| GBGames_ | There are three buttons: "Save Current Configuration", "Help", and "Quit" | 22:55 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: when you save you should be able to save it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:55 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: then it should have the line that says Driver "nvidia" | 22:55 |
| GBGames_ | Ok, no. Let me paste the resulting file. | 22:56 |
| GBGames_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/830728/ | 22:57 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: that doesn't look good | 22:58 |

| StephenHawking | Hey guys, experienced user here. I'm running 9.10, I DONT wanna hear "upgrade, its so old" etc. I'm sticking with 9.10 on this box because certain software just wont work otherwise, among other issues. | 22:58 |
| GBGames_ | ikonia: Right, but I never did run the nvidia-xconfig command. | 22:58 |
| repozitor1 | hello every body | 22:59 |
| GBGames_ | ikonia: Any reason not to follow the suggestion it gave me? | 22:59 |
| StephenHawking | My issue though, is I have a broadcom chipset that normally uses the b43 chipset, sometimes the hardware switch can be wonky, and will require a reboot to get working | 22:59 |
| ikonia | GBGames_: that shouldn't matter, but if you want to try it, try it | 22:59 |
| GBGames_ | ikonia: Ok. | 22:59 |
| StephenHawking | So I plugged in my GNexus android and did a usb tehter which works, i can surf the web. But when i run apt-get update i get tons of errors | 23:00 |
| repozitor1 | i have a USB floppy disk, and i connected it to my ubuntu, and now i don’t see any new ITEM, with floppy name | 23:00 |
| repozitor1 | how to connect it? | 23:00 |
| StephenHawking | Like it can't connect to the server | 23:00 |
| StephenHawking | Even when I uncomment other repos | 23:00 |
| Slart | StephenHawking: you do know that the repos that came with the install doesn't exist any more.. or rather.. they've moved | 23:00 |
| StephenHawking | It appears the b43 driver is installed though, cause networkmanager says "disconnected" rather than "missing firmware" | 23:01 |
| repozitor1 | and another question is, with wich cmd i’m able to see list of name of all installed pakages? | 23:01 |
| StephenHawking | Slart: of great, thats stupid, but fine. How can i get a listf othe current repos address? | 23:01 |
| StephenHawking | So I can continue to use 9.10 | 23:01 |
| StephenHawking | And no I DO NOT want to upgrade | 23:02 |
| Slart | StephenHawking: hang on.. it's something like archives.blalablabla | 23:02 |
| ikonia | StephenHawking: you'll find the 9.10 repos are not available on the standard URL, | 23:02 |
| ikonia | StephenHawking: as it's EOL they will have been moved to the oldreleases server | 23:02 |
| StephenHawking | ikonia: thats obvious | 23:02 |
| StephenHawking | we've already gotten that far | 23:02 |
| ikonia | StephenHawking: have you updated your sources.list to look at the oldreleases server | 23:02 |
| Slart | StephenHawking: ah.. that's it.. oldreleases.. | 23:02 |
| wessel | Can I make ubuntu revive from sleep mode by a mouse click? | 23:03 |
| Flannel | StephenHawking: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ but again, it's EOL, you're at risk, not supported, yadda yadda. | 23:03 |
| wessel | Now I have to press the power button. | 23:03 |
| ikonia | fair enough then, I'll leave it you as you clearly know the problem and how to fix it | 23:03 |
| StephenHawking | thanks | 23:03 |
| StephenHawking | Flannel: it cant be any worse than running Arch using the testing repo for the past 6+ years | 23:03 |
| Flannel | StephenHawking: I'm not familiar with Arch, but the problem is security vulnerabilities that aren't patched, not necessarily general 'bugs' | 23:04 |
| StephenHawking | Flannel: that relaly isnt a problem to me, and i said earlier, 9.10 is the only one that will work with a certain app i need | 23:05 |
| GBGames | Ok, after running nvidia-xconfig and logging out, it didn't bring back a GUI. There's some errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:05 |
| StephenHawking | So replacing most of the url with that old-releases url SHOULD work? | 23:05 |
| StephenHawking | Or could comeone give me an example? | 23:05 |
| StephenHawking | Because some work, some dont | 23:05 |
| mx_599 | hi, can anyone help me with my lubuntu install? | 23:06 |
| StephenHawking | nvm, i found plenty of wbesites addressing the problem | 23:06 |
| StephenHawking | I broke my number one rule! | 23:06 |
| StephenHawking | Aleways google before aksing in #ubuntu | 23:06 |
| Flannel | StephenHawking: archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu (and security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu) with old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 23:06 |
| StephenHawking | lol | 23:06 |
| GBGames | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/830739/ xorg.conf at top, Xorg.0.log below it. | 23:07 |
| StephenHawking | Flannel: i got it | 23:07 |
| StephenHawking | Flannel: if others come in asking the same question, link to this, http://aacable.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/howto-solve-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala-apt-get-not-updating-error/ | 23:07 |
| GBGames | ikonia: I notice that the Screen section doesn't list any resolutions. | 23:08 |
| mx_599 | hi, can anyone help me with my lubuntu install? | 23:12 |
| bobweaver | mx_599: dont know if I can help but what is going on ? | 23:13 |
| StephenHawking | hmm | 23:15 |
| StephenHawking | no more backports apparently | 23:15 |
| StephenHawking | im trying different combos with this 9,10 sources.list | 23:15 |
| StephenHawking | i wonder if there are other servers than these old release ones, for more bandwidth | 23:16 |
| StephenHawking | i got a pretty decent pipe | 23:16 |
| wessel | My sound is not working after I revive my computer from sleep mode | 23:16 |
| wessel | any way to restart the sound driver? | 23:16 |
| Bodsda | wessel: you could try - pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio --start | 23:17 |
| GBGames | ikonia: I'll have to come back to this later. I have to run. Thanks for your help so far! | 23:17 |
| _Ryth | If top is not displaying my correct ammount of ram, how can i find out how much ram my server has? | 23:19 |
| _Ryth | I think it differs from what I have paid for. | 23:19 |
| Bodsda | _Ryth: cat /proc/meminfo | 23:19 |
| _Ryth | Bodsda, thanks. | 23:20 |
| Bodsda | Your welcome | 23:20 |
| StephenHawking | Could someone point out which line is wrong? | 23:20 |
| Bodsda | StephenHawking: in what? | 23:20 |
| StephenHawking | W: Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic-updates/Release Unable to find expected entry restritced/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) | 23:20 |
| StephenHawking | everything worked besides that | 23:20 |
| StephenHawking | Bodsda: look at the pastebin | 23:21 |
| Bodsda | StephenHawking: can you send the link again please | 23:21 |
| StephenHawking | And YES I KNOW, its 9.10. I WANT 9.10, no upgrade advice please | 23:21 |
| _Ryth | that's the way to ask for help >< | 23:21 |
| _Ryth | more caps please and also more demanding. | 23:21 |
| * Bodsda recommends an upgrade :) | 23:21 | |
| StephenHawking | my bad | 23:22 |
| StephenHawking | http://pastebin.com/vinmpEMi | 23:22 |
| StephenHawking | \ | 23:22 |
| StephenHawking | _Ryth: im used to peoples first response in this channel being "ZOMG you are a version old, UPGRADE" | 23:22 |
| StephenHawking | its annoying | 23:22 |
| Ariethenor | I am building a duel boot computer, i finally got both operating systems to boot with grub2, but Ubuntu 11.10 64bit is booting into root, (root folder has the house icon) how do i get it to boot to normal user? | 23:22 |
| StephenHawking | It's bcome a running joke on most of freenode | 23:22 |
| Oer | StephenHawking, if there are no more updates available, you are on your own. please stop the ranting. | 23:23 |
| StephenHawking | \ | 23:23 |
| Bodsda | StephenHawking: thats weird, I can't see the link it complains about in your sources.lst | 23:23 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: maygbe from canoonical, but not from fellow users | 23:24 |
| aBound | Oer, I agree no reason to support a version that hasn't be updated in years. | 23:24 |
| aBound | been** | 23:24 |
| StephenHawking | Freenode offers support wherver it can | 23:24 |
| Bodsda | aBound: Oer, that doesnt mean people can't ask for help | 23:24 |
| StephenHawking | Hell, i helped a guy fix a slackware 7.1 box the other day in ##linux | 23:24 |
| aBound | Bodsda, That's just like somebody using Win95 and asking for help it's pointless because the majority doesn't use it. | 23:25 |
| StephenHawking | Talk about old, it still had a 2.4 series kernel | 23:25 |
| StephenHawking | But it worked, and did it well, so there was no point in upgrading | 23:25 |
| _Ryth | I miss slackware, but not the manual dependancy management. | 23:25 |
| Ariethenor | i use win95 every once in a while | 23:25 |
| GBGames | ikonia: I just checked something really quickly, found this: http://efreedom.com/Question/6-73057/Access-Nvidia-Settings-Use-HDMI-Quadro-3000m-Oneiric And I disabled Optimus in the BIOS. glxinfo/gears works as expected now. | 23:25 |
| fean0r | never change a running system :-) | 23:25 |
| StephenHawking | _Ryth: arch fixes that | 23:25 |
| Chucky_Luciano | hi, i am having some issues with compiz... i just installed the compiz-plugins-extra package from synaptic, and the "extra" features will enable but i cant seem to customize them | 23:25 |
| aBound | Best to stick with the modern times and move forward. Unless, absolutely necessary. | 23:25 |
| Bodsda | aBound: thats like someone with an orignal mini not being able to take it to a dealer because the manufacturer stopped making the parts. It's a pathetic argument | 23:26 |
| StephenHawking | Arch has slackware sys-v init configs, with a sane pkg manager, and a ports system like freebsd if u want it | 23:26 |
| Ariethenor | speaking of modern times... i have a modern issue | 23:26 |
| Ariethenor | I am building a duel boot computer, i finally got both operating systems to boot with grub2, but Ubuntu 11.10 64bit is booting into root, (root folder has the house icon) how do i get it to boot to normal user? | 23:26 |
| mongy | Chucky_Luciano, you have compizconfig-settings-manager? | 23:26 |
| aBound | Bodsda, Car manufacturing is not the same as operating systems. | 23:26 |
| Oer | StephenHawking, is this a mistypo ? restritced/binary-i386/Packages line 16 | 23:26 |
| aBound | It's a totally different boat. | 23:26 |
| Chucky_Luciano | mongy, yes | 23:26 |
| mongy | Chucky_Luciano, then they are in there | 23:26 |
| Bodsda | aBound: it was an analogy | 23:27 |
| aBound | Whereas old cars can be made into replicas operating systems can't. | 23:27 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: possibly, can you fix it,m and repastebin please. | 23:27 |
| Oer | restricted | 23:27 |
| StephenHawking | i have horrid eyesight being legally blind | 23:27 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: one sec, lemme repaste with no restrictions | 23:27 |
| janisozaur | how do I change permissions to allow bind() on rfcomm socket without super-user privileges? | 23:27 |
| Bodsda | aBound: OS's cant be replicas? Whats ubuntu then? | 23:27 |
| Chucky_Luciano | mongy, they are in there... but for example, if i enable "show mouse", it wont let me change any of the configurations in there... i try, but it doesnt change | 23:27 |
| aBound | Ubuntu uses the Linux Kernel it isn't considered an operating system but a distribution. | 23:28 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: did you launch ccsm as root? | 23:28 |
| Chucky_Luciano | bodnast, no. should i do that? | 23:28 |
| bodnast | idk | 23:28 |
| bodnast | Should you? | 23:28 |
| mongy | Chucky_Luciano, no, you should not | 23:28 |
| Bodsda | aBound: if you really want to get finicky about an analogy, we can go at this all night. Seriously, I have nothing better to do | 23:28 |
| Chucky_Luciano | bodnast, sorry, i meant Bodsda | 23:28 |
| bodnast | xD | 23:28 |
| bodnast | np | 23:28 |
| aBound | Bodsda, Doesn't bother me none. Even though it's offtopic. | 23:28 |
| aBound | :P | 23:28 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: yeah, give it a whirl | 23:29 |
| * Bodsda :) | 23:29 | |
| aBound | Up to you. | 23:29 |
| aBound | hehe | 23:29 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: you can edit at the bottom and repaste it, http://pastebin.com/aQ7Mg7Yc | 23:29 |
| Ariethenor | Anybody know anything about Grub2 and linux booting? | 23:29 |
| Bodsda | Ariethenor: probably, whats the issue? | 23:29 |
| StephenHawking | \Just edit, copy it all and repaste i guess, oddly i dont see a repaste buttun like their used to be | 23:29 |
| Ariethenor | i am duel booting win7 64 and ubuntu 11.10 64 | 23:29 |
| Ariethenor | both work | 23:29 |
| Ariethenor | but ubuntu boots into root | 23:30 |
| Oer | http://pastebin.com/AVH4KeGs | 23:30 |
| StephenHawking | normally i used scrunge, but i cant use apt-get to get common tools... | 23:30 |
| Chucky_Luciano | that wont mess anything up? | 23:30 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: thx, i will try it | 23:30 |
| Bodsda | Ariethenor: can you elaborate a little - what do you mean by 'boots into root' ? | 23:30 |
| StephenHawking | like i said, im legally blind, so im lik e1inch from the monitor if that | 23:30 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: nope | 23:30 |
| Ariethenor | root folder has the "house image" home folder should have the "house" image... thats the best i can explain | 23:31 |
| Ariethenor | all root privilages activated | 23:31 |
| Chucky_Luciano | no difference as root | 23:31 |
| Bodsda | Ariethenor: ah, /root not / - your logged in as root, auto login? root probably doesnt have a password and you have no other user accounts - thats my first wil guess | 23:31 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: which extra are you trying to change? | 23:32 |
| Bodsda | wild** | 23:32 |
| Ariethenor | i do have a home account that should log in, i have to enter password, but /root is "home" | 23:32 |
| Chucky_Luciano | Bodsda, i am trying to change show mouse, and animations... i dont think it is specifically the extras now because i cant change animations either | 23:33 |
| Ariethenor | i have an identical working setup on my laptop | 23:33 |
| aBound | Ariethenor, Can't create another account? | 23:33 |
| Bodsda | Ariethenor: open a terminal and type whoami what gets returned? | 23:33 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: that worked, thank you very much | 23:33 |
| Oer | StephenHawking, have fun | 23:33 |
| Ariethenor | will try, have to boot that computer | 23:33 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: and im pretty sure i included the partner repos, right | 23:33 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: installing now to test | 23:33 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: im just doing some OSSv4 stuff first, getting rid of alsa. Being blind, im an audiophile, and OSSv4 sounds way better than alsa, and pulseaudio sounds like a wet papertowel over my speakers | 23:34 |
| StephenHawking | lol | 23:34 |
| Oer | StephenHawking, yes you did, but not the src source-code | 23:35 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: are compiz settings actually enabled? | 23:35 |
| Ariethenor | insanity trying the same thing twice expecting a different result... worked this time | 23:36 |
| Ariethenor | now the "myusername" folder has the house icon | 23:36 |
| Chucky_Luciano | Bodsda, yes... i have been using it for awhile... i always use the scale plugin for example... i dont know whats going on right now | 23:36 |
| Ariethenor | guess it is fixed | 23:36 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: src makes no difference to me, just slows up the update of the repo dbs imho | 23:36 |
| StephenHawking | thats why i comment them out | 23:36 |
| JosephHarrietha | Can anyone explain why this command hangs? wget -O - http://repo.badgb.com/bAdgigabit.key | apt-key add | 23:36 |
| Chucky_Luciano | Bodsda, i tested the settings in scale, they seem to work fine | 23:36 |
| ARSM | How do I direct ubuntu to use an active tethered internet connection over USB? I've got clockworkmod tether saying everything is connected, but DNS won't resolve on chrome. I'm thinking I need to direct the OS to use the connection, but I don't know how. | 23:37 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: so you can change some settings? | 23:37 |
| Chucky_Luciano | but some things dont... like changing the configs in show mouse | 23:37 |
| StephenHawking | Oer: now, is there anything i need to to to stop ubuntu from trying to go roughe on me and wanting to dist-upgrade to a newer version? | 23:37 |
| aBound | JosephHarrietha, Worked flawlessly for me. | 23:37 |
| holstein | StephenHawking: i usually turn off auto upgrades and the update manager | 23:37 |
| holstein | then, i control what and when i want to update | 23:38 |
| Chucky_Luciano | if i enable show mouse, and then try to say change the binding from super+k to super+z, it will still be super+k for the binding | 23:38 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: do you mean you can change them and they have no effect, or you physically cant make the change? | 23:38 |
| aBound | JosephHarrietha, Ahh I see it says the pipe is broken. | 23:38 |
| Bodsda | ah | 23:38 |
| Oer | StephenHawking, after the last update, turn it off like holstein says | 23:38 |
| Chucky_Luciano | or for any of the configs inside of show mouse, or inside paint fire on the screen, and a few others | 23:38 |
| JosephHarrietha | aBound, So.... how do I fix it/ | 23:38 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: but does ccm say super+k or super+z after your change? | 23:38 |
| JosephHarrietha | :/* | 23:38 |
| holstein | StephenHawking: its a good general rule of thumb to read *all* of what is flying by when updates are happening... and read it closely, and ask here if you want *before* you hit any "ok" buttons | 23:38 |
| Chucky_Luciano | Bodsda, says super+z after i change it, but its still super+k to initiate | 23:39 |
| aBound | JosephHarrietha, Remove the extra dash in your command and run as sudo. | 23:39 |
| Chucky_Luciano | same goes for the other stuff | 23:39 |
| JosephHarrietha | aBound, Its run as root :P Its not meant to be run on ubuntu, its for an iPhone haha. | 23:39 |
| Chucky_Luciano | Bodsda, i am going to restart to see if anything changes, brb | 23:39 |
| aBound | JosephHarrietha, Ahh can't help you there bud. Seeing as it's offtopic. lol | 23:40 |
| aBound | But I noticed there is an extra dash in the command. | 23:40 |
| Soviet | oi | 23:41 |
| Soviet | K, so I'm trying to install gnome ppp so I can connect to the internet with ubuntu | 23:41 |
| Soviet | I'll have to do it offline so I was trying to download the file manually, then install it in ubuntu | 23:41 |
| Soviet | however there's tons of dependencies. | 23:42 |
| Bodsda | !enter Soviet | 23:42 |
| Bodsda | !enter | Soviet | 23:42 |
| ubottu | Soviet: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:42 |
| Soviet | How would I be able to place all the .deb files in a folder, and install them with apt-get? | 23:42 |
| Oer | !offline | 23:42 |
| ubottu | If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 23:42 |
| JosephHarrietha | aBound, I'm running it on ubuntu now. Thats just its final purpose. Why does wget -O http://repo.badgb.com/bAdgigabit.key | sudo apt-key add give me "gpg: can't open `': No such file or directory" ... can you paste the command you used? I think I misunderstood your instructions. | 23:42 |
| Bodsda | Soviet: download the package and all dependencies from packages.ubuntu.com and then go to the offline machine and use dpkg to install them | 23:43 |
| Oer | Soviet, sudo dpkg -i <package>.deb | 23:43 |
| Soviet | How would I do that? what command? | 23:43 |
| aljosa | anybody knows if there is package for git-flow for oneiric somewhere? i've found one in ppa for 12.04 but not for 11.10 | 23:43 |
| Soviet | oh | 23:43 |
| JosephHarrietha | aBound, Because I'm fairly sure my - was to direct the output to stdout, which would then be piped to the apt-key add. | 23:43 |
| Soviet | So it will look for all the .deb files it needs in the same folder? | 23:43 |
| Chucky_Luciano | Bodsda, restart seems to have helped | 23:44 |
| aBound | sudo wget -O http://repo.badgb.com/bAdgigabit.key | apt-key add Is what I used. | 23:44 |
| Chucky_Luciano | dont know what the problem was... | 23:44 |
| Bodsda | Chucky_Luciano: excellent! | 23:44 |
| Chucky_Luciano | thanks, tho | 23:44 |
| Bodsda | aljosa: its in precise' universe repo | 23:44 |
| aBound | Only thing is I never got the file it seems. | 23:44 |
| Soviet | If I use sudo dpkg -i <package>.deb will it look for all the dependencies in the same folder? | 23:44 |
| Bodsda | Soviet: no | 23:44 |
| JosephHarrietha | aBound, Ahh, I see. Thats not how wget works. I just removed the -O entirely and it works now. | 23:45 |
| Soviet | Bodsda then...? | 23:46 |
| aBound | JosephHarrietha, Woot awesome. :P | 23:46 |
| Bodsda | Soviet: one by one, or you could try wildcarding it, doubt that will work as expected though. AptonCD is your easiest route | 23:46 |
| aBound | WGET does have a argument for -o from within the man pages. | 23:47 |
| Soviet | But, if I try to install a package that requires another package, it won't install, right? I would have to spend hours trying to figure out the order which I need to install them. | 23:47 |
| alex__ | hey guys, can anyone help me solving my wireless problem in ubuntu 11.04 ? | 23:48 |
| scott__ | hello? | 23:48 |
| Fonz | Hi Scott. | 23:49 |
| Soviet | Can anyone pick up where Bodsda left off? | 23:49 |
| scott__ | anyone know why after i install xubuntu and it updates and i restart all i get is a black screen?? | 23:49 |
| krnekhelesh | Scott, which version of xubuntu are you using? | 23:50 |
| scott__ | umm 10.04 | 23:50 |
| scott__ | i was thinking its becouse i have iso's on a drive and its getting confused | 23:50 |
| holstein | scott__: see if you have an older kernel in your grub list to try booting | 23:50 |
| Soviet | Can anyone pick up where Bodsda left off? | 23:51 |
| krnekhelesh | do you get a black screen after you choose the kernel version | 23:51 |
| krnekhelesh | meaning you don't see a login screen at all? | 23:51 |
| scott__ | sometimes i dont even see the grub | 23:51 |
| scott__ | this is why im going to xubuntu becouse it happend on mint | 23:51 |
| scott__ | 12 | 23:51 |
| scott__ | yea | 23:52 |
| holstein | Soviet: dpkg -i *should* find all the dependancies in the repos (assuming they are there)... | 23:52 |
| Soviet | holstein that's it though, I don't have an internet connection until I install this | 23:52 |
| alex__ | hey guys can anyone help me too ? | 23:52 |
| holstein | Soviet: then, bring all you need with you... or temporarily plug a friendly NIC in | 23:53 |
| Soviet | ...what? | 23:53 |
| Soviet | I have a dialup internet connection | 23:53 |
| holstein | Soviet: without internet access, theres not better way to do it.. you'll have to bring all you need with you | 23:53 |
| Soviet | no other way to connect | 23:53 |
| holstein | Soviet: do it via dial up then | 23:53 |
| Soviet | holstein Yeah I'm going to download all the .deb fles | 23:53 |
| Soviet | I need the package to connect to the internet though ol | 23:53 |
| Soviet | lol* | 23:53 |
| holstein | Soviet: that makes me think its a kernel upgrade that is breaking functionalilty for you.. try bootin an older kernel please and report | 23:54 |
| holstein | Soviet: right, or use another NIC | 23:54 |
| Soviet | holstein You don't get it... the package is a dialup interface. I don't know of a way to dial my modem unless I install this | 23:55 |
| Soviet | and what's a nic? | 23:55 |
| holstein | Soviet: network controller.. the fact is, you'll need to put the packages on the machine somehow.. you'll just have to be creative, or borrow some hardware | 23:56 |
| Soviet | holstein Yes... I will put the files on the machine. | 23:56 |
| Soviet | What I'm asking is how to install them. | 23:56 |
| Soviet | Because the main package has dependencies, and the dependencies have dependencies | 23:56 |
| === kalium is now known as Guest15271 | ||
| Soviet | I'm going to download them all, but I don't know how to properly install them | 23:56 |
| holstein | Soviet: dpkg -i .. or double click on the .debs or refer to the wiki | 23:56 |
| Soviet | Fine, but there's another problem. | 23:57 |
| Soviet | If I try to install one package that has dependencies, it will fail. | 23:57 |
| Soviet | I will spend all night figuring out the order to install them | 23:57 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware Soviet | 23:57 |
| Soviet | Don't feel like reading a 1000 page wiki | 23:57 |
| holstein | Soviet: sudo dpkg -i package1.deb package2.deb ...etc | 23:58 |
| Soviet | But if the order isn't right.. it will go nuts won't it? | 23:58 |
| holstein | Soviet: there is not *better* way than temproarily getting to some network...if thats not an option, you'll just take the pacakges over, and install them | 23:58 |
| * Soviet facepalms. | 23:59 | |
| holstein | Soviet: you can but only pull them over, and use the command, and try it.. i have always made it work :) | 23:59 |
| Soviet | That's what I'm trying to do lol | 23:59 |
| holstein | Soviet: right.. so go for it :) | 23:59 |
| holstein | if you are asking, will you have trouble?.. probable | 23:59 |
| Soviet | ...but you aren't paying attention to my concern though... | 23:59 |
