| schurl | hydrox24: or is it automaticaly mounted? | 00:03 |
| urlin2u | wagle, that makes it read and write backup the one that works before you do anything | 00:03 |

| damo22 | scienceNinjaBob: then do this: update-initramfs -u | 00:06 |
| urlin2u | nemo, you can set the deault browser. | 00:07 |
| schurl | hydrox24: good morning, its 1 in the morning here in vienna :) | 00:07 |
| nemo | urlin2u: tried that in firefox. said it already was default. So I assume it got set somewhere else | 00:07 |
| scienceNinjaBob | k he's doing something | 00:07 |
| Wargasm | nemo: or you can just get rid of chrome :) | 00:07 |
| schurl | hydrox24: enjoy and thx | 00:07 |
| nemo | Wargasm: yeah, that's probably a good idea, although occasionally I do need to try and figure out why it is screwing up a site layout | 00:07 |
| Gentoo64 | nemo, try in the system settings menu | 00:07 |

| nemo | I guess "Debian sensible" is one that gets overridden by whatever package has a higher weight... or something like that. | 00:09 |
| nemo | anyway. all better. Thanks for the genuinely useful suggestion in the end, Gentoo64 :) | 00:09 |

| ubuntuaddicted | hydrox24, yes sir | 01:07 |
| OerHeks | Hodapp, i found this > http://askubuntu.com/questions/9460/is-it-possible-to-get-dragging-working-on-a-macbook-multi-touch-touch-pad | 01:09 |
| scienceNinjaBob | moving my mouse or touching my touch pad makes the x server crash and sets me back to the log in screen my xserv.log http://pastebin.com/t2YxJVui | 01:09 |
| visual1ce | hi | 01:10 |
| OerHeks | Hodapp, && touchegg http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-in-macbook-pro.html | 01:10 |
| visual1ce | ubuntu just logs me out every now and then - all my apps close too | 01:10 |
| regeya | been using linux since ' | 01:10 |
| regeya | well that was random | 01:11 |
| visual1ce | it goes to that black screen like when its shutting down then back to login screen | 01:11 |
| visual1ce | how do i find out what is going on? | 01:11 |
| Hodapp | OerHeks: I do not see any evidence whatsoever that that second link addresses the issue of dragging. | 01:11 |
| cfc__ | seems to me ther server support is very inactive | 01:14 |
| Hodapp | OerHeks: though I think the multitouch driver fixed things... thanks | 01:15 |

| courtney | im transfering files over a gigabit network over ssh. Why am I only transfering at 1mb/s | 01:16 |
| levitsky | !root | 01:19 |
| 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 | 01:19 |

| Canadian1296 | What is the best firewall to use on Ubuntu 11.10? I want to allow all connections from the machine to the net, but only ssh from the net to the machine. It should drop all other requests and let them time out, not say they were denied. uwf is already installed, so if it will work, how do I use it. | 01:57 |
| cfhowlett | !firewall|canadian1296 | 01:57 |
| ubottu | canadian1296: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 01:57 |

| jetole | diuneigh: well let's start with whatever problem you're having. You said you get a login screen so I assume it's not your whole drive that's encrypted but instead your home partition | 02:28 |
| diuneigh | •jetole• yes.. home partition.. | 02:29 |
| jetole | diuneigh: change to tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1 you can change back to Xorg but pressing alt+f7 or alt+f8) and try logging in there. Tell me what it says after you do | 02:30 |
| diuneigh | •jetole• I cannot log in with GUI but instead do an alt-f2 console log in.. I used to be able to see my home dir.. but now I cannot...perhaps the passphrase is not working? | 02:30 |
| pnorman | I'm wondering how I stop my display from going to sleep on my ubuntu box. No GUI installed. | 02:30 |
| tannerste | Rurd2di, you're not the only one that feels that way. Check out Gnome 3 on Ubuntu | 02:30 |
| jetole | diuneigh: so you can log in fine under ttyX but once you do, there is nothing in your home dir? | 02:30 |
| diuneigh | •jetole• yes I can log in by using tty1 | 02:31 |
| tannerste | Rurd2di, the Gnome 3 "Classic" look is similar to Gnome 2 | 02:31 |
| jetole | diuneigh: and yes your home dir is empty? | 02:31 |
| diuneigh | jetrole: only two files. access-your-private-data and readme.txt | 02:31 |
| pitopi | woot fixed my flashing screen | 02:31 |

| cfhowlett | urlin2u: sorry | 02:34 |
| jetole | @ diuneigh | 02:34 |
| jetole | diuneigh: wait | 02:34 |
| jetole | can you login as root via the gui | 02:34 |
| jetole | ? | 02:34 |
| jetole | @ diuneigh | 02:34 |
| Mish- | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell R710 with a PERC 6/i RAID controller. Ubuntu installed, then shows the splash screen, then sits with a blinking cursor... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. | 02:34 |
| diuneigh | •jetole• I am using windows right now because I cannot use ubuntu.. I have used a live USB to access a desktop..however, I cannot use a chat with the live USB do you have a suggestion for me to use a chat while I am running the live USB? | 02:34 |
| diuneigh | •jetole• I cannot run those commands now.. I will need to reboot into ubuntu each time.. do you have a way I can run a chat with a live USB? | 02:35 |
| jetole | diuneigh: well you can install apps from a live CD/USB. I don't know how you do it on a desktop since even on my own desktop I use apt-get/aptitude and I think you should have the system live to help debug. diuneigh can you login as the root user? | 02:36 |
| urlin2u | diuneigh, firefox has a plugin | 02:36 |
| diuneigh | •jetole• I do not know how to login as root at the GUI.. | 02:36 |
| BlogaiGeras | Hello, | 02:36 |
| jetole | diuneigh: aptitude install xchat && nohup xchat &> /dev/null | 02:36 |
| diuneigh | •urlin2u• what is it? | 02:36 |
| urlin2u | diuneigh, chatzilla | 02:36 |
| urlin2u | diuneigh, took a minutelol. | 02:36 |
| jetole | diuneigh: aptitude install xchat && nohup xchat &> /dev/null & | 02:36 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: greetings | 02:36 |
| jetole | diuneigh: that will bring up a irc client | 02:37 |
| BlogaiGeras | I seem to be having problems running the ubuntu cd... it doesn't start the installation process, just says "no emulation system <smth> 00" | 02:37 |
| BlogaiGeras | Does anybody have any idea about that? | 02:37 |
| quiescens | freenode probably has a web based chat thingy which will save having to install anything | 02:37 |
| diuneigh | •jetole• I will reboot into the live CD.. please give me a moment.. thank you for your help.. I'll be back.. | 02:37 |
| urlin2u | diuneigh, the live cd has xchat to I believe. | 02:37 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: you PSUCDT is incompatible | 02:37 |
| WalkFar | If anyone has the time, I'm having an issue with getting Banshee to recognize my android phone so that I can add my music to it... | 02:37 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: it boots into live session but will not install? | 02:37 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: just kidding, I made up the term PSUCDT | 02:37 |
| diuneigh | •quiescens• what is the web based chat? | 02:38 |
| jetole | diuneigh: let me know when done | 02:38 |
| BlogaiGeras | nooo | 02:38 |
| carlosatgsie | hi all. having a bit of trouble with macvlans using ip link. when the server is rebooted i loose the macvlan interfaces i've created. any way to save them so they are recreated at boot time? | 02:38 |
| BlogaiGeras | it doesn't boot up into live session | 02:38 |
| quiescens | diuneigh: if your browser works on your livecd or whatever, just go to http://webchat.freenode.net/ | 02:38 |
| BlogaiGeras | just the cd doesn't boot up at all | 02:38 |
| BlogaiGeras | I'm trying to use it as a bootable cd... | 02:38 |
| jetole | diuneigh: just run what I said: aptitude install xchat && nohup xchat &> /dev/null & | 02:38 |
| diuneigh | •Jetole• will do.. | 02:39 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum|blogaigeras | 02:39 |
| ubottu | blogaigeras: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 02:39 |
| WalkFar | If anyone has the time, I'm having an issue with getting Banshee to recognize my android phone so that I can add my music to it | 02:39 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: did you checksum the iso before booting? | 02:39 |
| irfan | i'm facing problem in 12.04 | 02:39 |
| BlogaiGeras | Naaah I didn't hmm | 02:39 |
| jetole | cfhowlett: wow that's the wrong help message for !md5sum | 02:39 |
| urlin2u | BlogaiGeras, have you checked th md5sum | 02:39 |
| urlin2u | the | 02:40 |
| irfan | i upgraded it yesterday and it's seems not working fine | 02:40 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntu+1|irfan | 02:40 |
| BlogaiGeras | So I should try checksum? | 02:40 |
| ubottu | irfan: Precise Pangolin is the codename for Ubuntu 12.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 02:40 |
| urlin2u | irfan, #ubuntu+1 is your channel | 02:40 |
| urlin2u | BlogaiGeras, at the least | 02:40 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: please do. | 02:41 |
| BlogaiGeras | OK. | 02:41 |
| BlogaiGeras | Thanks. | 02:41 |
| BlogaiGeras | I'll try | 02:41 |
| irfan | ok thnx | 02:41 |
| BlogaiGeras | it's md5sum -c <isofile> ? | 02:41 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: if it checks out please come back | 02:41 |
| urlin2u | BlogaiGeras, look at te\he bots message to you above. | 02:41 |
| urlin2u | the*] | 02:41 |
| jetole | cfhowlett: while I don't know what your level of auth is on the channel since I'm never in here, while I agree there should be a help message on how to check the authenticity of a CD, md5sum is used for much much more and the help message makes no mention of any of it | 02:41 |
| BlogaiGeras | OK, I'll try | 02:42 |
| lawltoad | hi, when i suspend and resume, my sound dosnet work anymore | 02:42 |
| jetole | lawltoad: then don't suspend | 02:42 |
| jetole | lawltoad: maybe look into hybernation or shutdown | 02:43 |
| Wargasm | jetole: wow that was helpful | 02:43 |
| lawltoad | lol, theres no way to debug this issue? nothing to look into? | 02:43 |
| dlentz | lol jetole: doctor, it hurts when i do this | 02:43 |
| dlentz | doctor: don't do that | 02:43 |
| jetole | lawltoad: though I have to ask, does your sound appear as a pci device (run: sudo lspci) and if so, does it still appear after a resume | 02:43 |
| urlin2u | Wargasm, my thoughts to worse then me. :) | 02:43 |
| BlogaiGeras | Just: Put it in your windows/system32 or /windows/command folder. (In XP it's C:/Windows/system32) | 02:44 |
| BlogaiGeras | <--- But i'm on my old ubuntu right now? | 02:44 |
| jetole | Wargasm: I try to be as helpful as all the manufacturers are helpful by providing drivers for Linux :-\ | 02:44 |
| lawltoad | if i lsof | grep snd and kill the pids some things will start to play sound again | 02:44 |
| jetole | dlentz: exactly | 02:44 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: wait, what? | 02:44 |
| lawltoad | so i don't think its a matter of thawing out my piccard | 02:44 |
| Wargasm | jetole: I hear that about the linux drivers | 02:44 |
| urlin2u | Help I've fallen and I can't get up jetole Well don't get up. | 02:44 |
| jetole | lawltoad: sounds like you have a solution already | 02:45 |
| BlogaiGeras | about md5sum | 02:45 |
| lawltoad | its not consistant | 02:45 |
| jetole | urlin2u: actually I recomended not to fall | 02:45 |
| BlogaiGeras | it's an exe in the link you guys gave me. | 02:45 |
| BlogaiGeras | ? | 02:45 |
| lawltoad | it'll get flash sound running | 02:45 |
| lawltoad | but not system sound | 02:45 |
| Wargasm | my computer takes too long to boot, don't turn it on | 02:45 |
| carlosatgsie | hi all. having a bit of trouble with macvlans using ip link. when the server is rebooted i loose the macvlan interfaces i've created. any way to save them so they are recreated at boot time? | 02:45 |
| jetole | urlin2u: if you feel prone perhaps look at a wheel chair | 02:45 |
| jetole | Wargasm: good advice | 02:45 |
| dlentz | lawltoad, sounds like pulseaudio problem, start a verbose pulse log, then suspend/resume, then stop the logging | 02:46 |
| dlentz | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log | 02:46 |
| === log is now known as Logan_ | ||
| lawltoad | kk wll do | 02:47 |
| jetole | Wargasm and lawltoad: doctor! help! I don't notice comments to me in IRC if people don't say my name by using common net ettiquete or netiquette. Doctor: don't talk to those people | 02:47 |
| dingdangdong | how can I set a proxy for Gyachi? | 02:48 |
| jetole | doctor! help! I don't know how to spell etiquette. Doctor: :-\ | 02:48 |
| BlogaiGeras | OK, my hash code is b11301dc298d4b16850cee2a421e3567, shouldnt it be 62fb5d750c30a27a26d01c5f3d8df459 for my ubuntu 11.10 64 bit desktop? | 02:49 |
| jetole | dingdangdong: is there a proxy option in preferences or under any of the menus or dialoges they return? | 02:49 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: check that against the 11.10 md5sum | 02:49 |
| dingdangdong | jetole: the thing is they actually have removed the menu it used to have :O | 02:49 |
| shellcode | i have nvidia driver but is not pushing 1900x1080 | 02:49 |
| BlogaiGeras | Huh? | 02:50 |
| BlogaiGeras | Well look | 02:50 |
| shellcode | im only getting 1300x768 | 02:50 |
| BlogaiGeras | http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/MD5SUMS here? | 02:50 |
| BlogaiGeras | It's different from mine? Or am I doing something wrong? | 02:50 |
| jerichowasahoax | I recently changed my Apache2 <VirtualHost> tag to read my.domain.here:80 instead of *:80. Now whenever Apache2 reads the config I get this warning: [Fri Feb 10 21:47:55 2012] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts | 02:50 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: no you're at teh right place | 02:50 |
| jerichowasahoax | The webserver still *works* but I'd like to figure out where this is in the default configs so I don't have to look at it :-) | 02:50 |
| jetole | dingdangdong: Don't know what to say. I don't use gyachi. Maybe try reading the docs (especially since I doubt they've removed that feature) and if that doesn't help then see if anyone else has a answer | 02:51 |
| jerichowasahoax | and by "figure out" I mean "ask other people while putting minimal effort into finding it", heh | 02:51 |
| === Logan_ is now known as log | ||
| BlogaiGeras | So It really is corrupt? | 02:51 |
| carlosatgsie | jerichowasahoax, edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf to read NameVirtualHost my.domain.here:80 | 02:51 |
| BlogaiGeras | :S | 02:51 |
| BlogaiGeras | Should I redownload? | 02:51 |
| CallMeD | shellcode: is it the nouveau driver or the real nvidia proprietary driver | 02:51 |

| Halexander9000 | Does anyone have some advice on how to Optimize Ubuntu for an ASUS EEE PC 904HD? | 02:51 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: you mean download the iso again? only if it doesn't match up correctly... | 02:51 |
| urlin2u | jerichowasahoax, the channel guidelines specifically ask you not to due that. :) | 02:52 |
| urlin2u | do* | 02:52 |
| BlogaiGeras | Well maybe i'm misunderstanding something, but the hash in the file is not the same as my hash i pasted here? | 02:52 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: sounds like you didn't get the whole/complete download | 02:52 |
| Squarism | o it does exist | 02:52 |
| BlogaiGeras | Alright, I'll redownload it then. | 02:52 |
| BlogaiGeras | Thanks. | 02:52 |
| dingdangdong | jetole: no idea, couldn't find anything . not yet :-/ , thx anyway :) | 02:52 |
| BlogaiGeras | For the quick help. | 02:53 |
| BlogaiGeras | ;) | 02:53 |
| BlogaiGeras | And try then. | 02:53 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: might have been incomplete or scrambled . it happens. and toda you learned something. | 02:53 |
| shellcode | callmed: what u mean | 02:53 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: assuming you're pasting the correct hash and referring to the proper hash for the correct file then it appears your download is corrupt | 02:53 |
| jetole | dingdangdong: np | 02:53 |
| BlogaiGeras | That's rather strange, I never realised that something can get corrupt and be burned flawlessly without any errors? | 02:53 |
| bandit22 | Is there a really simple standalone address book for 10.04? (No email, Ubuntu One, etc) | 02:53 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: download a new copy and check the hash before you burn it | 02:53 |

| diuneigh | •Jetole• I'm sorry ... the live USB is corrupt.. I need to recreate it... | 02:53 |
| urlin2u | BlogaiGeras, when you burn a image it burns they image | 02:54 |
| diuneigh | •Jetole• is there a way to chat through the tty1 login? | 02:54 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: gigabytes of data that have to be perfectly transmitted? worldwide? | 02:54 |
| urlin2u | the* | 02:54 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: it can but I'm betting it flawlessly burned the incorrect ISO to begin with but both are possible | 02:54 |
| jetole | diuneigh: yes but it's not something I would say is easy for someone who has never used it | 02:54 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: as jetole said. Old computer phrase: "garbage in, garbage out" | 02:54 |
| jerichowasahoax | urlin2u: Does it? I can't find it | 02:55 |
| BlogaiGeras | ;D Alright. | 02:55 |
| diuneigh | •jetole• ok.. the live USB is almost done.. | 02:55 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: good luck | 02:55 |
| BlogaiGeras | Thanks, guys. | 02:55 |
| jetole | diuneigh: I use the irssi client which is console only and I connect to it by ssh'ing to one of my servers in the data center but it's not as easy as say xchat | 02:55 |
| jetole | diuneigh: brb. gotta piss | 02:55 |
| BlogaiGeras | 2 mins till new iso is down, gotta piss too. ;D | 02:55 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: TMI | 02:56 |
| urlin2u | jerichowasahoax, I don't have a link to it without kicking the bot but thats the idea, and to be honest it is rather irritating for so many reasons. :) | 02:56 |
| diuneigh | •jetole• live USB is done.. rebooting now.. | 02:58 |
| BlogaiGeras | The new hash matches, I'm burning the CD. | 03:00 |
| jetole | back | 03:00 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: when done, run another hash check on the CD | 03:00 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: great! to be supersure, you need to check teh burn as well | 03:00 |
| BlogaiGeras | Oh, OK, thanks, good idea. | 03:01 |
| dlentz | people still burn CD's? | 03:01 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: if the hash check on the CD fails then burn again, if it fails yet again then look into replacing your cdrom | 03:01 |
| cfhowlett | BlogaiGeras: you should be burning the cd at slow speed to reduce errors | 03:01 |
| BlogaiGeras | obviously you don't want to reserve a usb stick for having an ubuntu bootable cd... | 03:01 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: A CD should always have the same hash as the ISO which created it | 03:01 |
| BlogaiGeras | Alright, thanks I'll check it | 03:02 |
| urlin2u | jerichowasahoax, kind of hard to find but here it is see Do some research before asking a question http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html | 03:02 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: why not? usb sticks are cheap these days anyways and you can still use them for storage | 03:02 |
| diuneigh | jetole: I am using the live USB now... I couldn't use your command.. the aptitude package is not installed on the live USB..using the web freenode.net | 03:02 |
| BlogaiGeras | I wouldn't say it's much of a storage if it's already a bootable... | 03:02 |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: the bootable usb creation program formats the stick as vfat by default making it usable in just about any OS as a normal USB stick as long as you don't remove or corrupt the ubuntu files it installs | 03:03 |
| urlin2u | jerichowasahoax, or lol don't admit you haven't. :) | 03:03 |
| Squarism | g++ is a c++ compiler right? | 03:04 |
| jetole | diuneigh: actually my command should have been: apt-get update && apt-get install xchat && nohup xchat &> /dev/null & | 03:04 |
| jetole | diuneigh: but either way, here you are | 03:04 |
| diuneigh | jetole: should I try it again? | 03:04 |
| BlogaiGeras | Well true, but it's a mess inside the stick, I assume?' | 03:04 |
| * jetole has the bad habbit of using apt-get still even though aptitude is safer | 03:04 | |
| jetole | BlogaiGeras: not that bad. Some files. Some folders. I'd just create a new folder for storing everything else I need | 03:05 |
| jetole | diuneigh: have you mounted your drive yet? | 03:05 |
| jetole | diuneigh: no don't try it again | 03:06 |
| jetole | diuneigh: you're in chat. good enough | 03:06 |
| diuneigh | jetole: let me do that.. | 03:06 |
| jetole | k | 03:06 |
| Squarism | does anyone know if its bad to upgrade the g++ compiler on 11.10? | 03:06 |
| jayhawk08 | Squarism: yes, you can compile c++ with gcc, but if you like with the standard libraries libraries you want to use g++ | 03:06 |
| jetole | diuneigh: stop! | 03:06 |
| cfhowlett | Squarism: don't see why it would be "bad"...? | 03:06 |
| jetole | diuneigh: and say when | 03:06 |
| diuneigh | jetole: but I be in root? | 03:07 |
| jetole | diuneigh: do you have a root terminal up right now? | 03:07 |
| Squarism | cfhowlett, i thought it might be part of the "system files" so to speak... dependent on other stuff in the os | 03:07 |
| diuneigh | jetole: no.. can I do a sudo -s at the command line? | 03:07 |
| diuneigh | jetole: how to do a root terminal? | 03:07 |
| jetole | I forget what -s does. You can do sudo -i | 03:07 |
| jayhawk08 | Squarism: g++ only gets used when you're compiling programs, so if you don't do that it shouldn't matter | 03:08 |
| jetole | @ diuneigh | 03:08 |
| cfhowlett | Squarism: regular update should address all dependencies and what not. I'd say you're safe - but what do I know? | 03:08 |
| Squarism | jayhawk08, i do plan to recompile stuff.. | 03:08 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: done.. mounted to /home/bob | 03:09 |

| diuneigh | Jetole: how to unmount? | 03:09 |
| jetole | diuneigh: then paste it online and send me the url ( pastebin.com works ) | 03:09 |
| jetole | diuneigh: umount /directory/to/where/I/mounted/it | 03:10 |

| jayhawk08 | Squarism: and really there shouldnt be any problems | 03:11 |

Though it's safe to assume I'm a 12 year old kid lying about having some big job but if you'd like to take my word for it then I can assure you I don't care to hack your machine for any reason what so ever. Living in my home outside of a jail cell is honestly quite comforting | 03:18 |

| Yabden | I have an interview for a graduate linux system admin job on tuesday, anyone have any advice as to what I should expect? | 03:19 |

| cfhowlett | Yabden: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2012/02/10/linux-popularity-sparks-salary-jump/ | 03:20 |
| jc_45 | usually when I interview admins I ask about experience, change management, problem management | 03:20 |
| urlin2u | yabai, yeah no answers from ubuntu support try #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:20 |
| jc_45 | then a few technical questions. | 03:20 |
| jc_45 | scripting, basic admin, and let you describe your hardest problem | 03:21 |
| Yabden | that article is good news for me! | 03:21 |
| Yabden | what do you mean by hardest problem, and what level of scripting would you expect for a graduate job? | 03:21 |
| BlogaiGeras | OK, i'm getting this when running md5sum on cd md5sum: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error | 03:21 |
| jc_45 | pretty low level of scripting. | 03:21 |

| jetole | diuneigh: I don't see a partition that would be /home on this list. sda and sdc look like windows partition and sdb shows a 2 normal linux partitions and 1 swap partition where one of the linux partitions and the swap parition are extended partitions on sdb. If I read that correctly, where is your /home partition? | 03:22 |
| jc_45 | just decent knowledge of awk/sed etc... | 03:22 |
| Woobyet | hey men, can someone recommend me a good java introduction for programmers, I'm a programmer and i just need some kind of manual that goes quickly to advanced concepts and techniques. thank you. | 03:22 |
| Yabden | ahh, sorry it is a bit off topic | 03:22 |
| BlogaiGeras | lol | 03:22 |
| jetole | diuneigh: and you said one of those normal linux partitions is /boot and one is /home | 03:22 |

For the beginning if you've used other languages like c++, then google "java differences c++". Well I had some book, but haven't read it and not sure where it is. | 03:28 |

| Afdal | Hello all | 05:02 |
| jetole | meh. | 05:03 |
| Afdal | I'm installing Xubuntu on a hardware RAID0 partition alongside Windows XP | 05:03 |
| Afdal | And in order to make sure it uses the exact partition and size I specify, i'm doing the custom installation | 05:03 |
| jetole | Afdal: what's your question? | 05:04 |
| Afdal | Can anyone explain to me what is meant by the various options for partition mount points? | 05:04 |
| Afdal | There's / and /boot and others | 05:04 |
| Afdal | Which one do I choose, and why? | 05:04 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: np. | 05:04 |
| bruenig | sup mofuckas | 05:05 |
| Afdal | What I want to do is setup grub but NOT on the MBR | 05:05 |
| Afdal | And then choose from Windows or GRUB from Window's boot.ini | 05:05 |
| jetole | Afdal: unlike windows each partition doesn't have a drive letter but instead they are all a directory under / for example I can make a partition mount to /var and another partition mount to /usr/local and another one mount to /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4 but for the most part you should be ok with one single partition mounted to / | 05:05 |
| Frijolenstein | Are you tired of niggers? | 05:06 |
| Frijolenstein | I am! | 05:06 |
| Afdal | So it doesn't matter at all? | 05:06 |
| Frijolenstein | That is why I joined Chimpout Forum! | 05:06 |
| jetole | Afdal: then you will have to set your current boot loader to chain link to the partition grub is installed on | 05:06 |
| Afdal | They're just arbitrary names? | 05:06 |
| Afdal | Yeah I'm fine with that part | 05:06 |
| jetole | Afdal: you need a / partition for sure and beyond that there are best practices for other partitions but on a typical desktop you don't have to worry about more then / | 05:07 |
| Afdal | All right, I'll use / for the Mount point then | 05:07 |
| Afdal | Thanks | 05:07 |
| samlock | okay, is there a way i can convert the GPT to MBR? | 05:07 |
| jetole | Afdal: you may be warned about not having a swap partition which is good best practice to have but for your first install you can ignore that warning | 05:07 |
| Afdal | I made the swap partition too | 05:07 |
| * jetole goes back to reading docs regarding the problem of diuneigh | 05:07 | |
| Afdal | Now how can I make sure Grub doesn't get put on the MBR? | 05:08 |
| samlock | this is my exact problem: http://superuser.com/questions/352546/thinkpad-x121e-bios-uefi-legacy-ubuntu-installation-doent-start | 05:08 |
| Afdal | Is it just a matter of selecting the Linux boot partition and NOT the whole drive? | 05:08 |
| jetole | Afdal: it will ask you | 05:08 |
| jetole | Afdal: yes | 05:09 |
| Afdal | okay, thanks | 05:09 |
| Afdal | Let's see if this works this time... | 05:09 |
| jetole | Afdal: it should all work fine but if something gets fucked up, boot off your windows disk into the console and run: fdisk /mbr | 05:10 |
| jetole | Afdal: and that will fix your mbr | 05:10 |
| Afdal | Yeah I already had to do that one :( | 05:10 |
| * jetole goes back diuneigh's problem | 05:10 | |
| Afdal | once | 05:10 |
| jetole | Afdal: then you know what to do if you **** it up again | 05:10 |

| jetole | diuneigh: it's saying your /home directory is about out of space but that's actually ok since you have a flat file there that get's mounted back as a loopback | 05:26 |
| hydrox24 | hilarie: looks like your current dir is owned by root... are you in /home/ and not /home/$USER/ | 05:26 |
| urlin2u | robs, make sure you understand partition types and the limits of how many. | 05:26 |
| hilarie | hydrox24 I'm a sudoer... any way to take it back? | 05:26 |
| === syn-ack is now known as Guest72956 | ||
| jetole | diuneigh: for sure not the usb. the chroot command I asked you to run earlier has basically but you in the computers / directory and it doesn't know about the usb live boot running on top of it too much | 05:26 |
| hydrox24 | just sudo -i to log in as root? | 05:26 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: that makes sense.. | 05:27 |
| hilarie | hydrox24 useradd -d /home/hilarie -m hilarie | 05:27 |
| jetole | diuneigh: if you want to know about the usb free space, start a new terminal (ctrl+shift+t) and then run df -hP and that will be run from outside the chroot | 05:27 |
| hydrox24 | not sure, but if you type ls as root do you get the contents of /home or your /home/$USER/ ? | 05:27 |

| hydrox24 | waggysax: or do you want the motherboard beep kind | 05:39 |
| escott | waggysax, you can echo the ascii bell or install the beep command | 05:39 |
| jetole | diuneigh: what is? I don't see anything? | 05:39 |
| waggysax | tjamls hydrox24 | 05:39 |
| waggysax | thanks* | 05:39 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: after running ip -4 -o addr ls scope global | 05:40 |
| waggysax | that's all I needed, hydrox24 | 05:40 |
| escott | waggysax, if you have a gui and want an alert in the gui from a shell script use the "alert" command | 05:40 |
| jetole | diuneigh: ok | 05:40 |
| bb05 | What would be the benefit of using ubuntu in an elementary enviornment over a windows one? | 05:41 |

| Cid | http://pastebin.com/cQGQvR1F | 05:41 |
| jetole | diuneigh: after that you can probably ping google. If you can't doesn't matter too much anyways | 05:41 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: yes.. pings google again.. | 05:41 |
| jetole | diuneigh: then as a just in case, run: apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade | 05:42 |
| bb05 | I also do volunteer work at my local YMCA, what would be the best way to filter 'bad' searches on the linux machines there? | 05:42 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: lots to upgrade... computer has been down for a while.. | 05:43 |
| escott | bb05, you want a web filter? | 05:43 |
| jetole | bb05: there isn't a best way to filter bad searches as far as I know but you can filter people to accessing bad sites by using a transparent proxy (see squid) and one of the modules / add-ins that helps block content you don't want users accessing | 05:43 |
| jetole | diuneigh: just out of curiousity do you see anything on that list relating to crypt | 05:43 |
| jetole | ? | 05:44 |
| bb05 | well.. essentially looking to limit the users themselves (with a single login) and keep them from breaking it. | 05:44 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: not yet... got one error though.. Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?) | 05:44 |
| escott | bb05, you mean you have guest users and you want to prevent privilege escalation? | 05:44 |
| jetole | diuneigh: actually I have a better question I should have asked hours ago. Do you care if you lose anything on your encrypted home dir? | 05:44 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: done.. | 05:44 |
| bb05 | escott: yes & combined with squid | 05:45 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: yes...I do.... otherwise I would have just reinstalled ubuntu.. | 05:45 |
| jetole | diuneigh: k | 05:45 |
| === aaron is now known as Guest27971 | ||
| Cid | Guess nobody knows what I'm asking | 05:46 |
| escott | bb05, well the squid proxy should be placed at the router and any http traffic should be directed through squid. so thats fairly easy. the privilege escalation is harder to deal with. you want to be careful to limit them to only those programs that are appropriate. beyond that its a good idea to see if you can get the hardware to boot off the lan. that way you can consider the physical terminal compromised, and know that a reboot will fi | 05:46 |
| escott | x it | 05:46 |
| bb05 | escott: thanks for the info, off 2 google =) | 05:48 |
| jetole | diuneigh: everything I am reading keeps saying you needed that string that was given to you when you setup your home dir which you told me you didn't write down | 05:48 |
| jetole | diuneigh: you may be fucked at this point | 05:48 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: I have it... I got it from unwrapping the passphrase.. | 05:48 |
| jetole | diuneigh: come again? | 05:48 |
| quiescens | i have gotten lost from trying to understand why your conversation seems so complicated | 05:49 |
| jetole | quiescens: talking to me? | 05:49 |
| escott | bb05, the thing to keep in the back of your mind is that "physical access is root access" so buy some locks for the case, and password protect the bios. | 05:50 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: I didn't write down the passphrase when I installed ubuntu... however, I read that I could find it by enter ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase /home/username/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase | 05:50 |
| quiescens | i thought it started with trying to access an encrypted home, and then seems to have ended up changing name servers to install updates so i forget what the problem was | 05:50 |
| jetole | diuneigh: so you now know your passphrase? | 05:50 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: yes at least the one I got from unwrapping it.. | 05:50 |
| jetole | quiescens: the ubuntu wiki page for this mentions making sure you have the latest version of the software and diuneigh is booting off of a live usb which I walked him through doing a chroot to his computers drives | 05:51 |
| jetole | quiescens: answer all your questions? | 05:51 |
| bb05 | as we are currently setup, there will always be a way for 'live' booting, but we monitor them while in the room this is more of a fail-safe if we miss something. | 05:51 |
| === root is now known as Guest79840 | ||
| jetole | diuneigh: well I'm too tired to carry on. First off write that down and stick it in your wallet or somewhere safe and then have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 05:52 |
| bb05 | the kids are aged from 7-12 so they are techy savvy, but hopefully not 'that' savvy | 05:52 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: yes.. I have used that site already... | 05:53 |
| === Guest72956 is now known as syn-ack | ||
| diuneigh | Jetole: I thank you for your time.. | 05:53 |
| escott | bb05, you dont have to be that savvy. you shove a usb live cd into the slot. press and hold the power button and then press f1 to change the bios boot order (unless the usb is already first) | 05:53 |
| jetole | bb05: escott is right. physical access is root access. Lock your box in a safe and burry it under 20 feet of concrete | 05:53 |
| Kyle123 | I disagree escott | 05:54 |
| jetole | diuneigh: k. I'd say np except I'm wondering why I bothered to be so helpful tonight since that's quite unlike me but glad it helped | 05:54 |
| Kyle123 | how many 7 year olds know about live booting off USB drives | 05:54 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: btw how can I log back into my drive? before I typed ctrl-d? | 05:54 |
| jetole | diuneigh: try to run: login | 05:54 |
| urlin2u | Kyle123, that info is all over the web. | 05:55 |
| BoomBox | escott / bb05 / Kyle123: if the >12 yo can boot a live CD, then they deserve to use it -.- | 05:55 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: better yet... what can I type next time I boot up so I can access that drive? | 05:55 |
| jetole | diuneigh: your username and password? | 05:55 |

| Anonymau5 | hello i had a few questions about swappiness and hdd usage | 05:56 |
| chroot | hi, how to use xwd in ubuntu? | 05:56 |
| urlin2u | Anonymau5, what might it be? | 05:56 |
| jetole | diuneigh: that's a pain in the ass if you don't already know how to do it but the bash script I whipped up is still posted at http://pastebin.com/JckGZ9Cs | 05:57 |
| Anonymau5 | well i have been playing around with vm.swappiness in sysctl .conf to try and reduce the read/write delays i am having when i open too much at once | 05:58 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: I read the README.txt again and it says From the graphical desktop, click on: "Access Your Private Data" how can I do that? | 05:58 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: haha.. ok.. so basically don't reboot the computer then? | 05:58 |
| mernilio | hi all! :-) | 05:58 |
| escott | Kyle123, at 12 we all knew how to get around blackice on windows. you hit f1. clicked around until the first hyperlink you could see and voila you had IE. you are either concerned that this will happen or you aren't. bb05 asked so he is presumably concerned -- besides a live usb seems much more likely than a privilige escalation from a non-priviledged user | 05:58 |
| Oregon` | hi. I was given a 40 gig external harddrive today. I want to format it...opened gparted, and see two partitions...one is ntfs, and the other is only 7.84Mgs, unallocated. Should I format both partitions, or should I leave the unallocated partion? THANKS | 05:59 |
| Kyle123 | escott from people who don't know much about compuers | 05:59 |
| jetole | diuneigh: I did that on the spot but the methodology is basically this, mount your root partition to a mount point, mount any other partitions to the proper sub dir of where you mounted your root parition (don't worry about swap) and then do a mount --bind (which just mounts an existing directory to another directory) to the proper points under where you mounted your root paritition and then root "chroot DIR /bin/bash" where DIR is where you mounted ... | 05:59 |
| Kyle123 | remember you said that | 05:59 |
| jetole | ... your root partition | 05:59 |

| Oregon` | urlin2u: SO then I should just leave it be? | 06:00 |
| jrib | Oregon`: I would just repartition and use all the space | 06:00 |

| jetole | diuneigh: also with my systems and the encrypted / dir if I lose the password or the drive becomes corrupt I am still shit out of luck hence why I use raid 1 on the workstations | 06:01 |
| Oregon` | jrib: Would just formating the NTFS be okay to do? the unallocated is only 7.84mgs so I could care less about it | 06:01 |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, really you might screenshot gparted looking at andimagebin it so we know exactly what your looking at. | 06:01 |
| jrib | Oregon`: if that's what you want, sure | 06:02 |

| Oregon` | urlin2u: and jetole: okay thanks. So I just deleted the ntfs and now its letting me create a new one looks good. I create is at a "Primary Partiton" right? Sorry for such newb questions I just dont want to screw it up. | 06:14 |
| jetole | pangolin: sorry. Just trying to have a sense of humor is all | 06:15 |
| jetole | pangolin: so I can't even swear if I censor it? | 06:15 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: I can see files in my home dir.. but they all say they are encrypted.. is that progress or not? | 06:15 |
| jetole | pangolin: and if that's the case, isn't that a bit much? | 06:15 |
| pangolin | jetole: humour is all well and good but it is not helpful. stick to support in here and you are welcome to join #ubuntu-offtopic for fun. | 06:15 |
| Oregon` | urlin2u: Also should I create a label for the drive? or just leave it blank? | 06:15 |
| escott | diuneigh, no | 06:15 |
| jonathon | Is it possible to permanantly Decrypt my home folder? | 06:15 |
| pangolin | jetole: correct, no swearing. | 06:15 |
| Oregon` | jonathon: yes. I like the program encfs for that | 06:15 |
| akpk | How to clear DNS cache ??? | 06:16 |
| jetole | pangolin: by the way, not that this should matter but I've spent the last many hours here working on fixing diuneigh problem and it seems much to get kickbanned for censoring my swearing | 06:16 |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, what do you want to do with the drive and do you want a windows OS to access it? | 06:16 |
| jonathon | Oregon' Alright, thanks | 06:16 |
| * jetole sighs | 06:16 | |
| sindile | escott: the two monitors are different sizes, but this happens with certain applications - for example libreoffice, firefox displays fine | 06:16 |
| jetole | pangolin: ok | 06:16 |
| Ho^Oh | How can I know if my server is capable of HARDWARE RAID0 ? | 06:16 |
| Oregon` | urlin2u: I need to use it for multiple computers...linux and windows...I constantly have to back up files for people. | 06:16 |
| escott | sindile, does libreoffice have windows on both screens when this is happening? | 06:16 |
| pangolin | jetole: #ubuntu doesn't have a karma system, you don't get extra points for good work that you can spend on breaking rules. | 06:16 |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, then make another NTFS] | 06:16 |
| jetole | diuneigh: I honestly don't know and I'm pretty much too tired to look into it now but maybe check some docs | 06:16 |
| jetole | pangolin: well that explains why I said "not that it should matter" | 06:17 |
| escott | sindile, sounds like a bug in the libreoffice toolkit. you might try reporting it | 06:17 |
| Oregon` | k thanks | 06:17 |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, no problem . | 06:17 |
| jetole | pangolin: #ubuntu also doesn't seem to have a "social rationalization" system either but I don't want to get ban'd so I'll try my best to bite my tounge | 06:18 |
| jetole | ouch | 06:18 |
| sindile | escott: libreoffice has no problem on the secondary monitor | 06:18 |
| cryptodira | pretty busy in here, so i will try again: 10.10 amd/64... trying to auto upgrade to 11.04... update manager says it is available but fails with: "could not download release notes" how can this be fixed so that the upgrade will proceed? | 06:18 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: np.. | 06:18 |
| pangolin | jetole: I appreciate your understanding | 06:18 |
| Ho^Oh | ROFL @ pangolin. | 06:19 |
| urlin2u | cryptodira, you completely updated? | 06:19 |
| jetole | diuneigh: I hope you get it set up but seriously, week from hell at work, I've had a few drinks and it's been a long day at the office and I'm about at my ends with this issue and while I know encryption, I don't use encrypted /home dirs | 06:19 |
| jetole | pangolin: btw, is hell a sensitive word? | 06:19 |
| jetole | pangolin: like I just said "week from hell at the office". Is that ok? | 06:20 |
| pangolin | jetole: :) see /msg ubottu !guidelines | 06:20 |
| jetole | pangolin: sure. Thanks | 06:20 |
| cryptodira | urlin2u, yes... completely updated | 06:20 |
| * jetole looks | 06:20 | |
| twalls | Tisk tisk. Lol. | 06:20 |
| jonathon | Oregon', Might you know the command I need to Decrypt? | 06:20 |
| escott | sindile, misread though you were saying libre was buggy. in any case its a toolkit issue with the toolkit that application is using | 06:21 |
| urlin2u | cryptodira, not sure then. | 06:21 |
| mesoderm | Hey -- how do I make it where a particular user isn't listed as an option in the graphical login screen? | 06:22 |
| mesoderm | i.e. I have two user accounts on my system, and only want one to be visible through gdm | 06:22 |
| cryptodira | urlin2u, i have been getting a failure to d/l the "list of changes" for the incremental updates... tho they will actually d/l and install.... the big update from 10.10 to 11.04 fails. | 06:22 |
| jetole | mesoderm: userdel | 06:23 |
| jetole | mesoderm: deluser | 06:23 |
| jetole | mesoderm: either or | 06:23 |
| mesoderm | jetole, I don't want to remove the user. I just don't want the account to appear as an option on the login screen. | 06:23 |
| kraz3d | Can anyone run me through setting up sftp and opening port 22? | 06:24 |
| kraz3d | I already set myself as DMZ | 06:24 |
| urlin2u | cryptodira, personally I never upgrade distros, I have everything on external HD's so I fresh install faster and cleaner | 06:24 |
| jetole | mesoderm: there used to be a way in the GUI. Now there is still a way but not sure anymore how. I'm using 10.04 and I click "start" -> system -> administration -> login system : and I don't see the option there anymore | 06:25 |
| urlin2u | computer only has OS's | 06:25 |
| escott | mesoderm, gdm or lightdm? | 06:25 |
| jetole | mesoderm: ubuntu has become surprisingly complex in its attempts to become simple | 06:25 |
| mesoderm | Anyone here know what Canonical was thinking when they removed the ability to do pretty much everything through the System Settings dialog? | 06:25 |
| jetole | cryptodira: oh I have done the upgrade on some server systems which works well and the same process applies to desktops | 06:26 |
| jetole | cryptodira: let me see if I can find the url | 06:26 |
| cryptodira | urlin2u, that is a handy way to do it for sure, however, i live off-grid and have no snail mail service, so instead of waiting until summer and getting a live cd, i thought i would try the upgrade route... bummer it is failing. | 06:26 |
| mesoderm | escott -- Sorry lightdm -- I just looked that up, and realized that's what 11.10 uses by default. My bad. | 06:27 |
| BoomBox | jetole: the developers think that whatever they think is easy to use for them is easy to use for normal people | 06:27 |
| BoomBox | which just isnt the cas | 06:27 |
| jetole | cryptodira: which version of ubuntu are you using | 06:27 |
| BoomBox | case* | 06:27 |
| jetole | BoomBox: can you please say that again in english? | 06:27 |
| escott | mesoderm, so don't bother with the config files in /etc/lightdm as lightdm ignores its own config files | 06:27 |
| BoomBox | developers aernt good designers | 06:27 |
| cryptodira | jetole, currently 10.10 fully patched | 06:27 |
| BoomBox | whats easy for them is not easy for normal users | 06:27 |
| bazhang | !ot | BoomBox | 06:27 |
| ubottu | BoomBox: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 06:27 |
| cryptodira | jetole, amd/64 10.10 | 06:28 |
| jetole | BoomBox: thank you for the philisophical lesson | 06:28 |
| Ho^Oh | mesoderm: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10331548&postcount=10 | 06:28 |
| escott | mesoderm, you have to do some unspecified undocumented thing to the accounts-services daemon. but don't worry lightdm has fewer LOC than gdm so that makes it better | 06:28 |
| BoomBox | just pointing out facts... | 06:28 |
| rodhash_ | Hello guys, I'm facing little trouble with audio (Ubuntu 11.10)... | 06:28 |
| rodhash_ | mplayer runs fine but the sound suddenly stops, why is this happening? | 06:28 |
| jetole | cryptodira: I know the versions say something different then what you have but try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Network_Upgrade_for_Ubuntu_Servers_.28Recommended.29 | 06:28 |
| rodhash_ | Anyone, any idea? | 06:29 |
| jetole | BoomBox: check out IRC netiquette where it mentions saying a users name when you address them in a channel so that the comment is hilighted and more easily visible | 06:29 |
| cryptodira | jetole, Thanks! i will give that a try. | 06:29 |
| sindile | escott: i think you are right - my primary maximum monitor resolution is 1366x768 (16:9) and secondary is 1920x1080 (16:9), if i change the secondary to 1280x720 there is no problem and any resolution higher than that the problem occurs | 06:30 |
| Ho^Oh | mesoderm: Actually, edit /etc/lightdm/users.conf sudo /etc/lightdm/users.conf | 06:30 |
| Ho^Oh | mesoderm: Then follow the guide in the forum. | 06:30 |
| jetole | rodhash_: try with different audio output. You can see a list of it by running: mplayer -ao help | 06:30 |
| jetole | cryptodira: hope it helps | 06:30 |
| kraz3d | Is there any FTP server clients with a decent GUI so I don't have to use sftp? | 06:32 |
| rodhash_ | jetole, Here it's... there's something very odd, I'm using Skype and just started to watch a video on youtube, when it started.... the youtube player runs fine, mplayer runs fine too.... but the sound stops after just few seconds... | 06:32 |
| jetole | oh so I was gonna read the guidelines url that pangolin referred me to a bot which just listed the url but then I got distracted helping people. I'll read it now | 06:32 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, those don't work i tried it with 11.10a2 reported a bug and they added the helpful comment at the top # NOTE: If you have AccountsService installed on your system, then LightDM will # use this instead and these settings will be ignored | 06:32 |
| jetole | rodhash_: did you try what I said? | 06:32 |
| jetole | rodhash_: try running mplayer -ao alsa | 06:32 |
| rodhash_ | jetole, Yes I tried, but my point is: it was working fine for a long time... | 06:33 |
| Ho^Oh | BoomBox: Actually, the new changes here is nice, surrounding Unity. I'm able to work with less distractions now. | 06:33 |
| jetole | rodhash_: if -ao alsa works then edit (or create) ~/.mplayer/config and add the line "ao=alsa" | 06:33 |
| jetole | rodhash_: that way you don't need to add it on each line | 06:33 |
| cryptodira | jetole, that link was no different than what i have already been doing...after clicking to upgrade, we get no further instructions because the system is NOT downloading the release notes.... it hangs at that error. | 06:34 |
| jetole | rodhash_: I don't care. *********** in the USA was working fine for a long time till some smart people got together and decided it was a bad idea and had it abolished... ok that was actually a really poor way to make my point and probably pretty insulting to some people so I am going to censor that but my point being is that I care about the here and now and not the yesterday and the day before | 06:35 |
| jetole | cryptodira: if you had to click to upgrade then you didn't follow the directions on the link I gave you | 06:35 |
| jetole | cryptodira: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Network_Upgrade_for_Ubuntu_Servers_.28Recommended.29 | 06:36 |
| rodhash_ | lol | 06:36 |
| sinux | hi any one here can help me with a online video file issue | 06:36 |
| jetole | rodhash_: upgrades and changes can change many things that may cause something to stop working as it once did | 06:37 |
| rodhash_ | man you're stress... don't worry about such thing, it's just a stupic issue lol | 06:37 |
| cfhowlett | sinux: what's the issue? | 06:37 |
| jetole | rodhash_: thats really any software on any OS so let's not worry about what was what acting like what back when and figure out whats wrong or how to overcome it now | 06:37 |
| rodhash_ | yes... it can be, there was a recent upgrade | 06:37 |
| bazhang | sinux, ask your question to the channel please | 06:37 |
| jetole | rodhash_: so try: mplayer -ao alsa | 06:38 |
| jetole | rodhash_: if that works then add the line "ao=alsa" (without the quotes) to ~/.mplayer/config | 06:38 |
| bazhang | casasa, hi | 06:38 |
| Ho^Oh | sinux: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:38 |
| rodhash_ | jetole, wow... amaing ! | 06:38 |
| sinux | I have a to download a stream video file which is streamed using RTMP I tried RTMDump and other but i cant down load it | 06:39 |
| jetole | rodhash_: amazing that it works or amazing in the sarcastic sense that even though I am going out of my way to help you that you don't appreciate the effort due to my lack of concern? | 06:39 |
| rodhash_ | jetole, No, hehehe... it worked, that what I meant!! hehe | 06:40 |
| jetole | rodhash_: ok. cool | 06:40 |
| urlin2u | jetole, golly wally we are just not worthy. :) | 06:40 |
| jetole | urlin2u: I know. It's ok. That's why I'm helping (P.S.: I mistakingly thought he was being sarcastic which was my mistake) | 06:41 |
| Ho^Oh | sinux: Did any error message popped up? | 06:41 |
| urlin2u | jetole, just ribbing you. :) | 06:41 |
| rodhash_ | jetole, don't be so stressed man... it doesn't worth... btw, thanks for that great help :) | 06:41 |
| jetole | rodhash_: if it helps, pulse audio which is the new default to replace alsa is still kinda new and from time to time it fails | 06:41 |
| sinux | In RTMPDump it saide can't connect to sever | 06:41 |
| jetole | rodhash_: I'm not stressed but glad it worked | 06:41 |
| jetole | urlin2u: I'm not worried | 06:42 |
| jetole | urlin2u: it's been... | 06:42 |
| * jetole counts | 06:42 | |
| jetole | urlin2u: 14 years I've been using IRC. I don't get stressed over anything on here | 06:42 |

| Ho^Oh | :O | 06:43 |
| jetole | Ho^Oh: thanks for the kind words :-P | 06:43 |
| bazhang | sinux, whats the link | 06:43 |
| jetole | ah I'm still young. It's just that I started out when I was a kid | 06:43 |
| sinux | bazhang, http://www.swarnavahini.lk/autoweekend/player.php?videoid=10000028&partid=2 | 06:43 |
| cryptodira | jetole, you were correct! i failed to do the server route.... This appears to be working.... Thank YOU for your time and effort!! | 06:43 |
| sinux | thats the player link on the web | 06:44 |
| jetole | cryptodira: no worries. glad it worked | 06:44 |
| sindile | escott: i just pressed Windows-Key + P and the problem has dissapeared and the resolutions of the primary and secondary are different. This after reading this post - http://design.canonical.com/2011/12/improving-the-multi-monitor-experience-in-ubuntu/ | 06:44 |
| sinux | bazhang, I got this after looking in to the HTML of the page rtmp://206.217.209.119:80/securetoken&file=mp4:autoweekend/20120122AWC02.f4v | 06:44 |

| rodhash_ | jetole, So.. recently there was an upgrade, what may have caused this issue... is there any way to roll back those upgrades ?? | 06:46 |
| escott | sinux, have you tried just swapping an http or https in for the rtmp | 06:46 |
| sinux | escott, nope | 06:46 |
| jetole | rodhash_: the answer is yes and I don't know how. sorry but I know it can be done | 06:46 |
| escott | sinux, its serving out of port 80 its worth a try | 06:47 |
| sinux | in RTMPDump is it | 06:47 |
| rodhash_ | Anyone, any idea?? How to roll back an upgrade ?? | 06:47 |
| pc | alguien que sepa español e ingles | 06:47 |
| escott | !es | pc | 06:47 |
| ubottu | pc: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 06:47 |
| jetole | rodhash_: but... probably not worth it anyhow, a lot of other programs rely on that certain programs which they depend on is at least version X.Y and it may lead to future upgrade problems. Best probably just to edit the mplayer config file | 06:47 |
| bazhang | rodhash_, why would you think of trying that? whats the issue | 06:48 |
| mac_osx | Hi all, anyone offer a little / LOT of advice? Serious problem. | 06:48 |
| Ho^Oh | rodhash_: Ubuntu isn't Windows, you don't downgrade generally, but if you feel like working hard, there is a way. It depends on how exactly you upgraded in the first place. | 06:48 |
| sinux | And the media sever is Wowza Media Server Pro Unlimited 1.7.2 build12107 | 06:48 |
| bazhang | mac_osx, related to ubuntu? go ahead | 06:48 |

| jetole | rodhash_: the servers I admin, I had to install a custom compiled libldap and place a hold on it so that it would not be upgraded and this lead to a future issue which required future debugging | 06:49 |
| mac_osx | bazhang I've been badly hacked | 06:49 |
| rodhash_ | bazhang, Because it sound stopped again, and even specifying "-ao alsa" it's not working any longer... also the compiz become unstable, it keeps re-starting too frequently... :( | 06:49 |
| * Ho^Oh wonders if mac_osx is trolling. Or paranoid. :S | 06:49 | |
| bazhang | mac_osx, what makes you think that; what version of ubuntu are you on, what evidence do you have for that | 06:49 |
| mac_osx | I can't access the root, my Ubuntu CD drive is gone, Windows CD drive is gone, and bios cd drive is gone | 06:49 |
| jetole | rodhash_: ah I didn't know the sound stopped again | 06:49 |
| sinux | The only app that worked with this is a windows only shareware app called replay media catcher thats the only thing that worked but only 1/2 th file is get able | 06:49 |
| mac_osx | I'm on 11.10 | 06:49 |
| rodhash_ | jetole, It just happened .. :( | 06:50 |
| cfhowlett | mac_osx: on a mac? | 06:50 |
| mac_osx | No Ubuntu, the profile is mac_lookalike | 06:50 |
| omac | mac_osx: use your 11.10 live CD and boot from your CD drive for starters. Then mount your hard drive. | 06:50 |
| pc | i need help to translate inglish to spanish | 06:50 |
| mac_osx | Can no longer use CDs | 06:50 |
| jetole | rodhash_: when the sound stops, click on the volume icon in the tray and select "sound preferences...." then click on the applications tab and see if you can see what is doing what | 06:50 |
| bazhang | mac_osx, what do you mean you "can't access the root" <---- what are you trying to achieve | 06:50 |
| omac | if you can't mount your hard drive partitions, then I'll believe you've been hacked. | 06:50 |
| jetole | rodhash_: which version of ubuntu | 06:50 |
| jetole | ? | 06:50 |
| cfhowlett | pc: what do you mean? | 06:51 |
| rodhash_ | 11.10 | 06:51 |
| mac_osx | I had three profiles on my Ubuntu partition, Now there are five | 06:51 |
| Ho^Oh | I thought getting hacked these days are impossible. | 06:51 |
| omac | mac_osx: do you have a burned live DVD of UBUNTU? | 06:51 |

| mac_osx | Yes I have the CD, but my computer no longer acknowledges CDs | 06:52 |
| jetole | rodhash_: I've been deaf for 5 years | 06:52 |
| bazhang | pc for what? is this something related to ubuntu ? | 06:52 |
| omac | do you have a usb port? could you attach an external DVD-DRIVE to your computer and boot from that via a usb-boot | 06:52 |
| mac_osx | I can't even boot from the CD drive anymore | 06:52 |
| jetole | rodhash_: plus I use 10.04 | 06:52 |
| cfhowlett | pc: where do you live? maybe there's a support group nearby... | 06:53 |
| Ho^Oh | mac_osx: On linux, there is no suchthing as "an admin" account. It's about different levels of file and directory(folder) access. And then there is just that generic root account that can magically do anything. | 06:53 |
| pc | see you later | 06:53 |
| jetole | rodhash_: my ~/.mplayer/config file has a line that reads: nosound=1 | 06:53 |
| jetole | pc | 06:53 |
| omac | mac_osx? what do you mean? is your dvd/cd drive not working because it's old? Or do you mean the hack disabled it? | 06:53 |
| mac_osx | I tried to mount the root through the terminal using commands, but it said I don't have privilages | 06:53 |
| jetole | how long have you been using freenode to have registered the name pc? | 06:53 |
| mac_osx | Yes, the hacker disabled it, I presume so that I couldn't get him out | 06:54 |
| jetole | pc: how long have you been using freenode to have registered the name pc? | 06:54 |
| pc | pc is any computer any os ? you know | 06:54 |
| bazhang | jetole, lets stick to ubuntu support please | 06:54 |
| Ho^Oh | mac_osx: I do not believe you're hacked. Type in the word: sudo before any command you do to perform administrative tasks. | 06:54 |
| cfhowlett | pc where do you live? | 06:54 |
| mac_osx | I did | 06:54 |
| pc | i want to stay anon | 06:55 |
| omac | ok then, just reboot the computer with a live DVD and then use the special key for booting from the DVD. | 06:55 |
| cfhowlett | not address city, country | 06:55 |
| jetole | bazhang: I've been pretty helpful. I can't ask a user about his name? | 06:55 |
| Ho^Oh | It's the same password as your regular user account. | 06:55 |
| mac_osx | I got the help from a link Ubuntu forums sent me to because they don't give root advice | 06:55 |
| Ho^Oh | mac_osx: What's the exact command you typed, and the exact error message? | 06:55 |
| omac | macOSX: what kind of hardware? An apple intel-based pc? or a ppc? | 06:55 |
| bazhang | mac_osx, the root account is disabled by default. it's not something hackers did | 06:56 |
| mac_osx | Ho OhAthalon | 06:56 |
| Ho^Oh | O_O | 06:56 |
| omac | ok so you should be able to boot from your dvd. | 06:56 |
| mac_osx | The bios only offers the hard drive as a bootable option | 06:56 |

| ubottu | Frijolenstein: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 06:57 |
| omac | ho^oh it is not impossible: just do a "sudo bash" and you will be in root. | 06:57 |
| mac_osx | when starting up, I hit Del to get into the bios and change the boot order, but it says only the Hard drive is bootable, it shows no CD drive | 06:58 |
| omac | the same can be achieved as "su -l root" in Debian. | 06:58 |
| bazhang | it's not supported here. and it's disabled by default | 06:58 |
| damo2222 | mac_osx: what kind of pc is it | 06:58 |
| Ho^Oh | omac: I know that. My preferred method is sudo su (Switch user). | 06:58 |
| xgt001 | hello, is there a backport for unity 5.2 for oneiric? | 06:58 |
| Ho^Oh | But it's not something I would want to teach ;) | 06:58 |
| bazhang | xgt001, good question, there is more than likely to be a PPA before a backport | 06:59 |
| Igramul | Hi, because of a file system inconsistency, I lost parts of /var/lib/dpkg. Is there a way to rebuild that directory? | 06:59 |
| mac_osx | OK sorry, I'm in as root | 06:59 |
| Afdal | Hey all | 06:59 |
| xgt001 | bazhang, so right now there are no ppa's to i guess? coz the unity-staging ppa wont work in oneiric | 06:59 |
| omac | mac_osx, there is a special way of adding a boot device in the bios. look for it and you will have menu that shows that you have a DVD/CD drive. The proof is that when you boot, the BIOS detects and displays the kinds of devices i.e. (name of DVD/CD device) that you have. | 06:59 |
| mac_osx | damo, it's a Dell | 06:59 |
| Afdal | Does anyone know the mount point name for a floppy in ubuntu? | 06:59 |
| damo2222 | Afdal: /dev/fd0 | 07:00 |
| bazhang | xgt001, I dont directly know of one, just pointing that out | 07:00 |
| jetole | Ho^Oh: if your a room admin then run /last Frijolenstein and then kick ban the user | 07:00 |
| omac | mac_osx: once you add the device to the boot list, then you can change the boot order to the cd/DVD device first, before the hard drive. | 07:00 |
| Afdal | I'm trying to make a grub booter from a floppy and it keeps telling me /media/floppy does not exist | 07:00 |
| jetole | Ho^Oh: he wasn't referring to engineers as I initially thought | 07:00 |
| bazhang | jetole, he's long gone | 07:00 |
| Ho^Oh | Thanks to bazhang :D | 07:00 |
| jetole | bazhang: I know but just wanted to make sure he stays gone. Thanks | 07:00 |
| Afdal | damo2222: So it should be "mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy" right? | 07:00 |
| mac_osx | omac, can you tell me why I have another user and can't access the CD drive anymore? Is it the hack? | 07:01 |
| damo2222 | Afdal: actually you probably need something like /dev/fd0u1440 | 07:01 |
| Afdal | "mount: mount point /media/floppy does not exist" | 07:01 |
| Igramul | Afdal, You'll need the dirctory /media/floppy as mount point. | 07:01 |
| cfhowlett | mac_osx: I JUST received my replacement dvd drive today. Here's what to do: boot and go into the bios. From there run diagnostics. If you get an error on your dvd test self-test 0147, remove and reseat the drive. test again. If it fails again, replace the drive. or so the web informs me. | 07:01 |
| mac_osx | omac, I'll do as you say. Thanks | 07:01 |
| Igramul | Afdal, "sudo mkdir /media/floppy" | 07:01 |
| escott | mac_osx, sounds like you messed up your groups. what groups are you a member of? did you perhaps run usermod -G without -a? | 07:01 |
| Afdal | You have to make the directory before you mount it? | 07:01 |
| Ho^Oh | Afdal: mount /media/fd0 | 07:01 |
| Ho^Oh | And yes you have to if you want it to be at a specific directory | 07:02 |
| Ho^Oh | Otherwise, do nto use the second parameter. | 07:02 |
| mac_osx | escott, I don't think so, but I pissed off someone who is a hacker | 07:02 |
| Afdal | thanks, that seems to have worked | 07:02 |
| mac_osx | Ho Oh, omac, escott thank you all | 07:03 |
| Afdal | "mount: mount point /media/floppy does not exist | 07:03 |
| Afdal | " | 07:03 |
| Ho^Oh | mac_osx: You're on linux for goodness sakes, I can not imagine you ever getting hacked, Desktop version, you cant even ssh to it without installing an ssh daemon | 07:04 |
| Afdal | err | 07:04 |
| Afdal | root@ubuntu:/boot/grub# cp stage1 stage2 /media/floppy/boot/grub | 07:04 |
| Afdal | cp: cannot stat `stage1': No such file or directory | 07:04 |
| Afdal | cp: cannot stat `stage2': No such file or directory | 07:04 |
| Afdal | What am I doing wrong here? | 07:04 |
| Afdal | I'm on Xubuntu Live right now | 07:04 |
| mac_osx | I hope I'm wrong | 07:04 |
| omac | AFDA: | 07:04 |
| omac | Afdal: are you still there? | 07:04 |
| Afdal | Yeah | 07:04 |
| TheAncientGoat | Ho^Oh: Not really a safe stance to take "I'm safe because I'm on Linux" | 07:05 |
| Ho^Oh | TheAncientGoat: I know. | 07:05 |
| Ho^Oh | But darn, behind a router and such... | 07:05 |
| omac | create a directory: /mnt/floppy....mkdir -p /mnt/floppy | 07:05 |
| escott | Afdal, don't think you can just copy grub stages to a floppy and expect it to be bootable. are you following instructions from somewhere? | 07:05 |
| Ho^Oh | You have to be doing something extremely weird to be hackable. | 07:05 |
| Afdal | Yeah, I think this guide might be outdated, for GRUB 1 | 07:05 |
| TheAncientGoat | Ho^Oh: Most routers are uselessly insecure | 07:05 |
| TheAncientGoat | default passwords etc | 07:05 |
| omac | Afdal: then do a mount: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy | 07:05 |
| omac | that should do the trick. | 07:06 |
| Ho^Oh | Or if a person has physical "In person" access to your computer. | 07:06 |
| Afdal | yeah I got it mounted omac | 07:06 |
| Afdal | I can't seem to figure out out to actually get the bootloader onto the floppy now | 07:06 |
| TheAncientGoat | Yeah, then you pretty much can't do anything other than encrypt your hd, but then you have to look at keyloggers etc | 07:06 |
| Ho^Oh | TheAncientGoat: But darn, people should've been set those up (Good point though, so many passwordless routers in my neighborhood. xD) | 07:06 |
| Afdal | I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy, but I think that might not apply for GRUB2 | 07:06 |
| TheAncientGoat | I'm paranoid, so I can think up all these bizzare hacking scenarios, but I'm too lazy to do anything about it :P | 07:07 |
| escott | Afdal, it doesn't work for grub2 | 07:07 |

| jetole | pangolin: so I finially finished reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. When you say not to use asterisks to censor myself, are you referring to off-topic or was it the context I used it in where you felt that I might be harassing or inciting harassment because I got the impression from that I shouldn't swear at all even if I am censoring myself in doing so and making sure that my obscenity isn't seen by anyone but I didn't see any mention of ... | 07:09 |
| jetole | ... this on the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines that lead me to believe I shouldn't do so. I saw that I shouldn't obfuscate obscene words but self censoring is very different from obfuscation where it can be said to be obfuscation if I use a swear word but I replace a letter with a similar number or if I use some local slang to say a swear word but spell it in a manner that is not the normal spelling but censoring myself seems rather ... | 07:09 |
| escott | Afdal, where is your kernel going to reside? | 07:09 |
| urlin2u | diuneigh, you get in with your saved key? | 07:09 |
| jetole | ... different and it's something I even see common TV stations with shows rated for all audiences doing so long story short, I'm not sure which part of the guidelines I was in violation of and I want to make sure I know so I don't do it again and wind up getting kicked out of the room | 07:09 |

| diuneigh | Urlin2U not exactly... my login password.. | 07:10 |
| Afdal | <.< | 07:10 |
| jetole | bazhang: will be there in a minute. Want to chat with diuneigh first who I was helping out earlier | 07:11 |
| omac | Afdal, you are supposed to be on your hard drive. | 07:11 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: I kept googling for answers... stumbled on to http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html | 07:11 |
| omac | cd /boot/grub | 07:11 |
| Afdal | Well... | 07:11 |
| Ho^Oh | omac: Raid setup messed Afdal apparently. | 07:11 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: just kept playing around with it.... | 07:11 |
| Afdal | I'm having a lot of trouble getting grub to install on that | 07:11 |
| escott | Afdal, you may find more expertise in #grub, but i would think that you would want some variant of grub-install --allow-floppy --boot-directory=/media/floppy /dev/fd0 | 07:11 |
| omac | then...copy files to your floppy directories. | 07:11 |
| jetole | diuneigh: will read now but what did you do? | 07:11 |
| Afdal | So for now I'm just trying to get grub up somewhere so I can actually boot | 07:11 |
| omac | cp stage1 stage2 /media/floppy/boot/grub | 07:11 |
| Afdal | I'm tired of tinkering around on a Live OS | 07:11 |
| bazhang | AndrewMac_, no idea what you installed? what about pavucontrol to configure it | 07:11 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: that website worked for me... now I will mount my other drive and copy the files.. | 07:12 |
| AndrewMac_ | bazhang: not at this stage, it was a while back and i just restarted the pc :/ | 07:12 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: you got me in the right direction. | 07:12 |
| AndrewMac_ | (so something that takes effect only after a restart) | 07:12 |
| urlin2u | Afdal, you tried supergrub or reloading the grub bootloader to the mbr | 07:12 |
| bazhang | AndrewMac_, first off, before you install or remove anything is check in alsamixer and see that nothing is muted | 07:12 |
| escott | omac, those files won't exist if Afdal is using grub2 (which is the case if he has a new ubuntu install) | 07:13 |
| AndrewMac_ | pavucontrol gives me connection failed | 07:13 |
| jetole | diuneigh: yeah I just read that. It's pretty informative while brief but I didn't see that on the ubuntu wiki page I was reading earlier and it probably should be | 07:13 |
| AndrewMac_ | alsamixer gives me "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory" | 07:13 |
| omac | then afdal shouldn't be following that recipe then. | 07:13 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: I typed sudo ecryptfs-recover-private and followed the prompt.. entered my login password and it worked.. | 07:13 |
| jetole | diuneigh: my advice still stands. Unless you live with the gestapo or live in china or plan on hacking the cia/fbi/dod/etc then, if I were you, I would remove the enctypted /home dir | 07:13 |
| Afdal | Yeah I'm on Xubuntu 11.10 | 07:14 |
| urlin2u | Afdal, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 07:14 |
| diuneigh | jetole: after I get my files back.. I will reinstall ubuntu... | 07:14 |
| jetole | diuneigh: I'll be back in a bit. Gonna join #ubuntu-ops so PM me if you need anything | 07:14 |
| jetole | diuneigh: cool | 07:14 |
| jetole | diuneigh: again, glad it all worked out | 07:15 |
| diuneigh | Jetole: will do.. thanks again!!! | 07:15 |
| Afdal | What do I do with this supergrubdisk iso urlin2u? | 07:15 |
| xharx__ | is there a way to avoid tearing in ubuntu ? http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tearing | 07:16 |
| omac | grub-install /dev/fd0 | 07:16 |
| escott | Afdal, you are going to have a hard time getting grub to boot off a floppy. grub2 base module set is 4.3MB. use something like the iso and a cd or usb | 07:17 |
| urlin2u | Afdal, it boots a OS that is broken, small download worth a try. YOU can also reload the grub bootloader to the mbr, we also have a script you can run that will tell what is where in the OS | 07:17 |
| Afdal | I don't want grub on the MBR though | 07:17 |
| xharx__ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing | 07:17 |
| Afdal | Because I'm doing a dual linux windows boot | 07:17 |
| Afdal | and I want to be able to select GRUB at Window's boot.ini | 07:17 |
| urlin2u | Afdal, you can't boot windows then, you can use esaybcd to boot ubuntu from the windows boot. | 07:18 |
| urlin2u | Afdal, use easybcd | 07:18 |
| AndrewMac_ | bazhang: here is the output of alsa-info.sh -> http://pastebin.com/AzqtRAr1 | 07:19 |
| Afdal | What is easybcd? | 07:19 |
| omac | dd if=GRUB2.img of=/dev/fd0 | 07:19 |
| omac | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305475 | 07:19 |
| omac | afdal: did you try that one? | 07:19 |
| Afdal | "dd if=GRUB2.img of=/dev/fd0"? | 07:20 |
| urlin2u | Afdal, it is a app that willboot other OS's from the windows boot menu. http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ | 07:20 |
| omac | afdal: yes. | 07:20 |
| urlin2u | Afdal, to be honest the floppy is a waste of time easybcd will do what you want. | 07:20 |
| Afdal | Someone said grub2 is too large for a floppy anyway omac | 07:20 |
| Chipzzz | AndrewMac_: "sudo apt-get install alsa-base" | 07:21 |
| omac | there are reports of grub2 on floppy being successful. | 07:21 |
| omac | note the url mentioned above. | 07:21 |
| urlin2u | Afdal, here is the free one | 07:21 |
| urlin2u | http://neosmart.net/ | 07:21 |
| escott | Afdal, also since you are using dmraid you presumably have some kind of fakeraid/biosraid going on. have you confirmed that this will be bootable? | 07:21 |
| Afdal | urlin2u, FIRST, I need to deal with this error I'm getting when trying to install grub on this raid partition | 07:21 |
| Afdal | I don't know how I would confirm that :( | 07:21 |
| urlin2u | Afdal, I didn't pick up the raid never mind. | 07:22 |
| AndrewMac_ | Chipzzz: already installed | 07:22 |
| Afdal | And to do that I'm following this guide, which says I apparently first need to get into my linux natively | 07:22 |
| JiggyBlkMn | I fucking hate niggers! | 07:23 |
| escott | Afdal, determine what version of fakeraid you have and do some googling. but you will have issues if you are stripping because the bootloader needs to understand the raid well enough to reconstruct the kernel and initrd, and the kernel needs to have the dmraid drivers in the initrd so it can find the root fs | 07:23 |

| Ben64 | diuneigh: if you don't have permission to read you cannot copy | 07:31 |
| escott | Afdal, grub-mkrescue is not something im familiar with, that looks like a valid command based on a cursory glance at the man page. i would suggest that what you are trying to do is probably not necessary | 07:32 |
| diuneigh | escott: if I can see them does that mean I can access them? the encryption program put them in a temp dir as read only. | 07:33 |

| escott | Afdal, assuming you are in a livecd almost any grub issue can be fixed via chroot. and if that can't fix it then it might just be that this dmraid setup is not bootable | 07:33 |

| Chipzzz | AndrewMac_: install doesn't upset your configuration unless you use the --reinstall option, so "sudo apt-get install alsa-base" is safe for your purposes | 07:35 |
| escott | diuneigh, ok what are the permissions on that folder? | 07:35 |
| escott | Afdal, and of course it doesn't because removing documentation is always a good idea. i'll see if i can find instructions online | 07:35 |
| diuneigh | escott: don't know.. how to check? | 07:35 |
| Afdal | That guide says nothing about chroot | 07:35 |
| Afdal | oh | 07:36 |
| escott | Afdal, so this is a bit terse but it has all the parts that are needed http://zeldor.biz/2010/12/install-grub-from-chroot/ | 07:36 |
| escott | Afdal, the only changes you might make to that are that you evidently want to be installing to the pbr instead of the mbr so you would say /dev/sda# where # is your ubuntu partition. grub will likely complain so you would have to force it | 07:37 |
| Afdal | Okay, I'll try that now escott | 07:37 |
| Ho^Oh | How can I know if my server is capable of HARDWARE RAID 0? | 07:37 |
| Afdal | No, not sd# | 07:37 |
| Afdal | RAID partitions are read as dev/mapper/blahblah | 07:37 |
| escott | Afdal, and you probably need to mkdir /mnt since it won't exist on your livecd and of course adjust /dev/sda1 to reference your ubuntu partition as well | 07:37 |
| * jetole goes back to #ubuntu | 07:38 | |
| jetole | oops. wrong chan | 07:38 |
| escott | Afdal, right... for the mount command its going to be /dev/mapper for the grub install i have no idea | 07:38 |
| Afdal | Okay, I'll try that now escott | 07:38 |
| escott | diuneigh, ls -l /tmp/ecrypt[TAB] | 07:38 |
| Ho^Oh | jetole: Hehe, had fun? | 07:38 |
| Ho^Oh | WB. | 07:39 |
| Afdal | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ /mkdir /mnt | 07:40 |
| Afdal | bash: /mkdir: No such file or directory | 07:40 |
| escott | Afdal, and if you do setup a pbr boot you have to manually adjust the windows boot.ini if it fails to boot with a correct boot.ini then chances are that the dmraid is not bootable, and your life gets much harder | 07:40 |
| Afdal | I am very bad at BASH if you can't tell >.> | 07:40 |
| Afdal | Yeah I know about that bit escott | 07:40 |
| escott | Afdal, "sudo -i" first then "mkdir /mnt" then the commands in that tutorial | 07:40 |
| Oregon` | does usb-creator-gtk in ubuntu allow me to add NON linux OS's on a usb? Such as a windows Live disc using the Bart method? | 07:41 |
| Afdal | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo -i | 07:41 |
| Afdal | root@ubuntu:~# mkdir /mnt | 07:41 |
| Afdal | mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt': File exists | 07:41 |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, no which windows release is it? | 07:41 |
| Oregon` | urlin2u: windows xp | 07:41 |
| escott | Afdal, cool then just keep going | 07:41 |
| szal | escott: that's assuming the Windows installation even has a boot.ini (which Win versions from Vista onward don't any more) ;) | 07:41 |
| escott | szal, shrug... the only boot i care about with windows is sending it out the window so... | 07:42 |
| diuneigh | Escott: drwxr-xr-x does that mean I can copy them? | 07:42 |
| Oregon` | szal: What about if I took my Xp disc and used usv-creator-gtk? | 07:42 |
| Oregon` | szal: not a windows xp live disc but just regular xp? | 07:42 |
| escott | diuneigh, you should be able to read them which should be enough to copy them. what is the full command you are running | 07:42 |
| Oregon` | szal: I'd do it from windows but dont want to install it.. | 07:42 |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, you have access to a windows machine admin I believe? | 07:43 |
| Afdal | root@ubuntu:~# mount /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb2 | 07:43 |
| Afdal | mount: can't find /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 07:43 |
| Oregon` | urlin2u: I don't I only have ubuntu, the xp is for someone else | 07:43 |
| Afdal | /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb2 is the name of my raid linux boot partition | 07:43 |
| escott | Afdal, its not in fstab so you have to specify device and mountpoint "mount /dev/.... /mnt" | 07:43 |
| Afdal | oh silly me >.> | 07:43 |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, cool I have a app that loads a XP to a usb real easy in windows. | 07:44 |
| diuneigh | escott: cp -r /path of files /path to copy does that make sense? | 07:44 |
| escott | diuneigh, again the exact command please. I want to know if there is something funky in this (like a space or special character) | 07:44 |
| diuneigh | escott: this may sound better cp -r /source /destination | 07:45 |
| Oregon` | urlin2u: maybe I can just install xp in virtual box and then create the usb? | 07:45 |
| escott | diuneigh, and double check you have write permissions on the destination ls -ld /destination | 07:45 |
| diuneigh | escott: cp -r /tmp/ecryptfs.6XroXADI /media/win/temp/diuneigh/Test | 07:45 |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, if needed, this will only load a legit XP disc just saying. http://wintoflash.com/home/en/ | 07:45 |
| Oregon` | urlin2u: nevermind look what i found... http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html | 07:45 |
| diuneigh | escott: I made a dir on my NTFS drive.. | 07:46 |
| Oregon` | urlin2u: believe it or not it actually is a legit cd | 07:46 |
| escott | diuneigh, are you writing to an ntfs partition? can you confirm it is mounted rw? | 07:46 |
| Afdal | root@ubuntu:/# /usr/sbin/grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb2 | 07:46 |
| Afdal | /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partitionless disk or to a partition. This is a BAD idea.. | 07:46 |

| Afdal | Sorry for the spam | 07:47 |
| * Ho^Oh thinks it's a good idea for Afdal to use pastebin.org | 07:47 | |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, windows 7 is different then XP, does not hurt to try I know about that you can do it without unetbootin by just exstracting a W7 disc to a ntfs with a boot flag, does not work with XP though | 07:47 |
| escott | Afdal, as i said earlier. grub will complain. you have been warned, but if you want to force it you can | 07:47 |
| diuneigh | escott: destination folder drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 2012-02-11 00:43 /media/win/temp/diuneigh/Test | 07:47 |
| Afdal | How can I force it? | 07:47 |
| escott | Afdal, see "man grub" look for "force" | 07:47 |
| Oregon` | urlin2u: THANKS I assumed it would work with xp, you saved me some time | 07:48 |
| Afdal | uh... | 07:48 |
| Afdal | I'm confused | 07:48 |
| urlin2u | Oregon`, never worked for me I guess would be better syntax, the app I posted worked every time with XP though. | 07:48 |
| Afdal | man grub? | 07:48 |
| escott | !man | Afdal, in this case "man grub-install" | 07:48 |
| Afdal | Is that a terminal command? | 07:48 |
| ubottu | Afdal, in this case "man grub-install": The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 07:48 |
| Afdal | ah okay | 07:48 |
| diuneigh | escott: does that look ok? | 07:49 |
| escott | diuneigh, the destination folder is root owned. you should chown it to yourself | 07:50 |
| szal | that'll be a hard task to do on NTFS | 07:50 |
| llutz_ | you cannot chown on ntfs, you need mount options (uid/gid) for that | 07:50 |
| Afdal | Okay so what I gather from that... "/usr/sbin/grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb2 --force" is the right command? | 07:50 |
| escott | szal, llutz thanks | 07:50 |
| Afdal | No wait, "/usr/sbin/grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --force /dev/mapper/nvidia_aeedagcb2"? | 07:51 |
| escott | diuneigh, just see if you can "touch /destination/test" first | 07:51 |
| escott | Afdal, yep | 07:51 |
| diuneigh | escott: what does that mean it is root owned? what is chown? | 07:51 |
| Afdal | Installation finished. No error reported. | 07:51 |
| Afdal | I hope that worked... | 07:51 |
| escott | diuneigh, its a red herring in this case i forgot i was dealing with windows ntfs | 07:52 |
| escott | !permissions | diuneigh | 07:52 |
| ubottu | diuneigh: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 07:52 |
| Afdal | Okay can anyone tell me if this guide won't work with grub2? http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html | 07:53 |
| escott | Afdal, at this point grub is installed to the pbr | 07:53 |
| escott | Afdal, test it and see if it boots. nothing else to do | 07:53 |
| Afdal | It shouldn't boot | 07:54 |
| Afdal | right... ? | 07:54 |
| Afdal | The goal is to go to Windows' NT loader first | 07:54 |
| Afdal | and then select GRUB from that | 07:54 |
| Afdal | If it boots I have a big problem | 07:54 |
| Afdal | Because I won't be able to get back into Windows to setup its boot.ini | 07:55 |
| Ho^Oh | How can I set up RAID 0, via, commandline? | 07:55 |
| escott | Afdal, right. i mean try and get windows to chainload the ubuntu partition | 07:55 |
| escott | !mdadm | Ho^Oh | 07:55 |
| Ho^Oh | I'm debootstrap installing ubuntu remotely. | 07:55 |
| Afdal | I need something else from Linux first | 07:55 |
| Afdal | before I go back to Windows and fiddle with boot.ini | 07:56 |

| Afdal | Now I need to make a copy of linux's boot sector | 07:57 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, you'll have to replace the various emerge commands with apt-get installs but its pretty straightforward | 07:57 |
| Afdal | Aww crap | 07:59 |
| diuneigh | escott: still working... will get back to you.. | 08:01 |
| mcurran | Anyone know if there is a nvflash that works in ubuntu (i.e. i586) | 08:01 |
| diuneigh | how can I view hidden in nautilus on a live USB? 11.10? | 08:02 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: I do not know when in point of install to use these commands, would it be after I add a kernel to my system? | 08:02 |
| Afdal | How do I get root access in the File Manager? | 08:03 |
| escott | !gksudo | Afdal program name is nautilus | 08:03 |
| ubottu | Afdal program name is nautilus: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 08:03 |
| Ho^Oh | Afdal: gksudo nautilus | 08:03 |
| Ho^Oh | Assuming you're in gnome. | 08:03 |
| urlin2u | diuneigh, crtl-h | 08:03 |
| rymate1234 | hai | 08:03 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, im not familiar enough with debbootstrap and is your root partition going to be raided? | 08:03 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: Yes. | 08:04 |
| Afdal | hmm | 08:04 |
| Afdal | I don't think Xubuntu's file manager is called Nautilus... | 08:04 |
| rymate1234 | i think its thumar | 08:04 |
| rymate1234 | thunar | 08:04 |
| Ho^Oh | Afdal: Then it's gksudo thunar | 08:04 |
| rymate1234 | something likke that | 08:04 |
| Afdal | (gksudo:15827): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 | 08:04 |
| Ho^Oh | Or pcfileman | 08:04 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, so my guess and its only a guess. is that you install the kernel as usual, then install mdadm, then make sure mdadm is a loaded module on boot and update-initramfs | 08:05 |
| Afdal | Nope, not that either | 08:05 |
| Ho^Oh | Afdal: Try: sudo pcfileman & <------- With ampersand. | 08:05 |
| Ho^Oh | Forget gksudo | 08:05 |
| Afdal | sudo: pcfileman: command not found | 08:05 |

| escott | bullgard4, callbacks are (generally) function pointers called by an event handler to "callback" to the code that bound to the event | 08:09 |
| llutz_ | bullgard4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callback_(computer_programming) | 08:10 |
| escott | bullgard4, in this case poweroff.c is binding to a sysrq event which is handled by a kernel input event handler, and is giving it a function pointer that i is requesting be called when that key combination is pressed | 08:10 |
| Afdal | All right, I -think- that did it | 08:10 |

| === szal_ is now known as szal | ||
| zyracksis | piliakis: It's probably an issue with wine not telling unity that the program has closed properly. If you get wine to emulate a virtual desktop, then run eve fullscreen in that, you shouldn't lose that much desktop space. Not much more I can help with, sorry | 08:28 |

| hp__ | else on which channel can i know about it | 08:34 |
| auronandace | piliakis: and what makes you think wine is causing that instead of compiz? | 08:34 |
| Afdal | Is this simply command line with no options called GNU GRUB version 1.99-12ubuntu5, and I can't figure out how to boot from that | 08:34 |
| themonitor | hp__: Then why do you need a proxy? | 08:35 |
| Afdal | So first off, is that GRUB2? | 08:35 |
| piliakis | afdal if you want to repair/reinstall grub the way i use is a flash stick boot of ubuntu and then run boot-repair | 08:35 |

| jetole | mac_osx: if you have been hacked and choose not to call the authorities then power off the machine and create a image of the hard drive as well as a md5 and sha1 sum of the hard drive. verify the sums of both to the image and store the sums with the image | 09:04 |

| scarleo | jetole, It doesn't work fully for me either but sure got better | 09:40 |
| jetole | scarleo: but I am addressing this from memory when I looked at it 2 months ago and I may now be mistaken | 09:40 |
| jetole | scarleo: what speed do you get? | 09:40 |

| jetole | scarleo: I don't recall what speed I got either but I'd probably know if you said something that I knew was well above mine | 09:41 |
| scarleo | jetole, I know I saw some improvement though, but I also read it will vary from hardware to hardware | 09:41 |
| scarleo | jetole, definitely not solved :) | 09:42 |
| jetole | scarleo: I do remember endless ubuntu forum threads and launchpad bug reports though that were all unanswered or said there is no current solution | 09:42 |
| scarleo | jetole, I'll google it a bit | 09:42 |

| jetole | saju_m: if there was default data to put in that file it would already be there. There is default data for your system but it's not stored in ~/.vimrc and if you specify anything in ~/.vimrc that's already specified for the system then ~/.vimrc takes precedence | 09:49 |
| jetole | themonitor: yeah but if I had to throw in my two cents you can get a much newer version of flash from the adobe web site but I didn't feel like walking anyone through that right now | 09:50 |
| themonitor | jetole: yeah, keep it easy for the newbies | 09:50 |
| jetole | well that and I just don't feel like walking anyone through anything | 09:51 |
| jetole | afaik some sites won't let you use flash with the version that comes with the latest stable ubuntu | 09:51 |

| jetole | and oddly enough I'm finding myself surprisingly helpful tonight when I'm usually otherwise too busy to do so. I'm often helpful but not often in a channel long enough to answer more then 1 or 2 questions that come up while I'm asking my own question | 09:54 |

| * Mish- asks again. | 10:08 | |
| Mish- | Has anyone had any experience installing Ubuntu and putting "/home", "/usr" or "/var" in an LVM? (VG), I've done this on two servers and neither finishing booting as neither can see those partitions. | 10:09 |
| jetole | Mish-: I've done that dozens and dozens of times | 10:12 |
| pnorman | Mish-: I use LVM on top of my raid array, but I didn't have to do anything special | 10:12 |
| jetole | Mish-: what problem are you having | 10:12 |
| tay__ | Anyone know why I can't access my router config? | 10:12 |
| jetole | Mish-: I do this with pretty much all the servers I install. LVM is a much better way to handle disk allocation | 10:12 |
| oCean | tay__: please explain how that is an ubuntu issue? | 10:12 |
| jetole | tay__: ... nevermind, oCean beat me to what I was about to say | 10:13 |
| soulraven | hi | 10:13 |
| tay__ | Actually I'm having several issues. | 10:13 |
| jetole | Mish-: are you getting an error or anything? | 10:13 |
| dns53 | Mish- it should be fine as long as the lvm2 package is installed an the initrd built correctly to include lvm | 10:13 |
| jetole | tay__: please explain the ubuntu ones | 10:13 |
| soulraven | anyone know how to remove a icon from envelope menu from unity? | 10:13 |
| tay__ | The resolv.conf is going to a local IP. | 10:14 |
| jetole | tay__: which IP? | 10:14 |
| soulraven | i have remove xchat, but the icon from envelope menu remains | 10:14 |
| jetole | tay__: I mean which part of resolv.conf | 10:14 |
| soulraven | and i want to remove that icon | 10:14 |
| jetole | ? | 10:14 |
| tay__ | name server 192.168.1.100 I think | 10:14 |
| ubuntu | fuck of | 10:14 |
| jetole | tay__: that's probably being set by your DHCP server but if you want to over ride it, edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and add the line: supersede domain-name-servers NEW_NAMESERVER | 10:16 |
| robin0800 | soulraven: its an indicator-xchat or something like that | 10:16 |
| jetole | tay__: replace NEW_NAMESERVER with the name server you want to replace it with | 10:16 |
| nickkissimo | CIAO A TUTTI | 10:16 |
| jetole | tay__: if you want to add a new name server and keep the others but have the new name server as the first server on your list, add the line prepend domain-name-servers NEW_NAMESERVER | 10:16 |
| jetole | tay__: after you add that line, if say eth0 is the nic connected to the network, run: dhclient -r eth0 && dhclient eth0 | 10:17 |
| jetole | tay__: or just /etc/init.d/networking restart | 10:18 |
| pnorman | I installed some software from source using checkinstall. A new version has been released and I want to build and upgrade to it - what's the procedure for that using checkinstall? | 10:18 |
| * jetole wonders what checkinstall is | 10:18 | |
| llutz_ | !checkinstall | jetole | 10:18 |
| ubottu | jetole: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 10:18 |
| llutz_ | pnorman: just build the new version and install the resulting deb | 10:19 |
| jpds | jetole: Yes, it is filled with timestamps (re: trace). | 10:19 |
| jetole | jpds: my question is what is it used for? | 10:19 |
| === companion is now known as Companion | ||
| pnorman | llutz_: I never explicitly made a deb - do you mean just do the normal ./configure && make && checkinstall process? | 10:19 |
| quiescens | to install something from source as though it was a deb package | 10:20 |
| quiescens | so that you can remove it later if you want | 10:20 |
| llutz_ | pnorman: yes, checkinstall will install it then automatically | 10:20 |
| jpds | jetole: Seeing when a mirror last synced? | 10:20 |
| Stelpa | hullo! | 10:20 |
| jetole | jpds: ah I see. Thanks | 10:20 |
| pnorman | llutz_: And it'll correctly handle everything with replacing the existing version? | 10:20 |
| Stelpa | i, uhm, seem to have screwed things up :S | 10:20 |
| tay__ | I've been having issues with another computer too so I think it may be time for a new router. | 10:21 |
| llutz_ | pnorman: its supposed to | 10:21 |
| oCean | Stelpa: you have to give the channel some details... | 10:21 |
| Stelpa | anyone willing to help me right this screw up; there is a catch, which is, i do not recall at all what i did to make this happen.... | 10:21 |
| oCean | Stelpa: start describing your issue in the channel, all in one line | 10:21 |
| pnorman | Of course, ./configure is a vast simplification of what I actually have to do before compiling, hence the building from source and not using a ppa. :) | 10:21 |

| Stelpa | but, uhm, yeah; in my file browser (in my screenshot, looking for an album to play) it lists "sdb1" along with 2, 3, and 4 as file systems / storage... i have no idea what this means. When i try to click on one, an error message pops up about it being unable to mount. | 10:22 |

| Stelpa | jetole: i did, that isn't the issue; these objects on the menu (sdb1 through 4) are useless and bugged... | 10:24 |
| jetole | Stelpa: sdbX are partitions of your hard drive but should not be accessed in that manner | 10:24 |
| oCean | Stelpa: the sdX devices are disk partitions | 10:24 |
| Stelpa | they are? | 10:24 |
| Stelpa | well, they aren't supposed to be there, i dont think :s | 10:24 |
| jetole | Stelpa: open nautilus, the program you use to browse files and remove them from the window in there | 10:24 |
| jetole | Stelpa: I mean remove them from the left tab that shows your bookmarked locations | 10:24 |
| Stelpa | jetole: i have tried this; both options (remove and rename) are "grayed out" and unclickable (i will screenshot if you need to see) | 10:25 |

| jetole | Stelpa: what happens if you go to View -> Reset View To Defaults | 10:28 |
| jetole | ? | 10:28 |
| Stelpa | jetole: there are no menu items at the top... | 10:29 |
| jetole | kdmurray: while you can ask, you'd probably be better off asking in #samba and more likely to get a response more quickly. If you want to ask in a ubuntu channel though I would ask in #ubuntu-server but, again, #samba is probably the best spot | 10:29 |
| jetole | Stelpa: slick on your "start" menu, click places and click your home dir | 10:30 |
| kdmurray | jetole: thanks! I'll try there. | 10:30 |
| jetole | Stelpa: there should be menu items when that open up | 10:30 |

| Stelpa | :s | 10:32 |
| Stelpa | i see | 10:33 |
| jetole | Stelpa: this is not a mint help channel | 10:33 |
| mivulf | jetole: no, i mean, where i must put it to open firefox as default | 10:33 |
| Stelpa | i only came here because mint's channel didn't know what to do, and it wasn't very active at the moment either | 10:33 |

| jetole | mivulf: anywhere you like. It has nothing to do with symlinks. mivulf which version of ubuntu | 10:33 |
| jetole | Stelpa: my answer varies based on which version of ubuntu you are using | 10:34 |
| mivulf | jetole: 11.10. I mean the /usr/local/bin/firefox | 10:34 |

| jetole | mivulf: I know in gnome2 it's configured in "start" -> system -> preferences -> preferred applications | 10:35 |

| diverdude | hmmm this is the second time in 2 months my ubuntu has crashed completely and unprovoked....I cannot start it again | 10:36 |
| mivulf | jetole: thx u for ur help, but all that u told me its not about my problem. sorry for that. | 10:36 |
| diverdude | i cant believe i have to reinstall again | 10:36 |
| jetole | mivulf: no I actually told you how to solve it on a earlier OS and told you to look for a similar option on your version | 10:37 |
| jetole | diverdude: what is your question | 10:37 |
| cypher-neo | mivulf, What's the problem? | 10:37 |
| mivulf | jetole: my problem is "how to set another version of firefox as a default in ubuntu 11.10 by using symlinks" | 10:37 |
| llutz_ | diverdude: check your hardware (mem, hdds). if you really haven't changed anything, there must be a reason for those crashes | 10:38 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: he wants a custom install of firefox to be his default browser that he installed in /usr/local/bin and I don't know where the preferred applications popup is on 11.10 | 10:38 |
| Stelpa | getting logs :s | 10:38 |
| jetole | mivulf: and I told you it has nothing to do with symlinks | 10:38 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, Can't do that with the Preferred Applications popup | 10:38 |
| cypher-neo | mivulf, Here's what you need to do. | 10:38 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: you can in ubuntu 10.04 | 10:38 |
| jetole | so I assumed it was still possible in 11.04 | 10:39 |
| jetole | @ cypher-neo | 10:39 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, But you can't in 11.10 | 10:39 |
| diverdude | llutz_: i was just sitting in netbeans doing some webprogramming...and suddently the machine goes crazy...no programs responding....I do a hard reboot and now i cannot start the system again | 10:39 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: ok. yeah I don't use 11.10 | 10:39 |
| oCean | jetole, mivulf sure it does, you can use alternatives to set another version as default (of several softwares) | 10:39 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, Don't ask me why. They broke something | 10:39 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: so how do you do it in 11.10? | 10:39 |
| oCean | mivulf: see /etc/alternatives, your gnome-www-browser is probably linked to default /usr/bin/firefox | 10:39 |
| diverdude | llutz_: i can start it in safe mode only | 10:39 |
| diverdude | llutz_: or recovery mode i think its called | 10:40 |
| cypher-neo | mivulf, Okay. So here's how. Open the Terminal and type (without the quotes) "sudo update-alternatives --get-selections" | 10:40 |
| jetole | oCean: kinda seems like a step backwards. Is that protected against upgrades and apt-get/aptitude/synaptic installs? | 10:40 |
| llutz_ | diverdude: fs-errors, broken files/configs? what exactly is b0rked? | 10:40 |
| jetole | oCean: I guess there's always the chattr +i option to protect it at least | 10:41 |
| oCean | jetole: if you have more than one version of certain software installed, 'update-alternatives' is the proper way to set defaults | 10:41 |
| cypher-neo | mivulf, I think most likely the directory tree you are looking for x-www-browser | 10:41 |
| oCean | jetole: those are just symlinks, so nothing to do with updates etc | 10:41 |
| cypher-neo | mivulf, And when you look at the tree, it will tell you what the current default for that is. | 10:41 |
| jetole | oCean: How do I change the default for my user but not the whole system? | 10:41 |
| oCean | jetole: not through alternatives | 10:42 |
| jetole | right | 10:42 |
| melvincv | I need to change autoplay for blank DVD to 'do nothing', but I had set it to open CD/DVD creator. Now I don't get the option to change it back to do nothing? | 10:42 |
| jetole | oCean: so how? | 10:42 |
| oCean | jetole: I have no idea, not working with multiple users. And that was not the question | 10:42 |
| diverdude | llutz_: i have no idea what is broken,....it starts booting and when it comes to this place where it says *starting all kinds of stuff | 10:43 |
| kalimojo | kindone: cant sent to #defocus | 10:43 |
| jetole | oCean: well ok at not working with multiple users but that is the question. I just asked it | 10:43 |
| cypher-neo | mivulf, Now type "update-alternatives --list x-www-browser" to see which alternatives are available to be selected on your system. Hopefully both of your browsers will be displayed. | 10:43 |
| diverdude | llutz_: so it writes starting and stopping a lot of things, and in the end it says checking battery state and then it just hangs there | 10:43 |
| robin0800 | melvincv: I think ubuntu-tweak can do that | 10:44 |
| cypher-neo | mivulf, If it is displayed, type "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" and select which browser you want to be default from the menu that shows up. | 10:44 |
| cypher-neo | mivulf, Let me know if that works. :) | 10:44 |
| melvincv | I'm on Natty. | 10:44 |
| sda1986 | hi, have a i5 on my laptop and i want compile my kernel, can I use my AmdX6 to do that? | 10:45 |
| jetole | oCean: also the proper way to do something is not change the whole system for ones own personal needs and on the system I am using now, 10.04, this is easily done. If what you proposed is documented as the proper way to do things then the documents are mistaken | 10:45 |
| meco | I've installed a new bittorrent client. How do I make new torrents be handled by the new instead of the old client? | 10:45 |
| diverdude | llutz_: are you there+ | 10:45 |
| diverdude | ? | 10:45 |
| Ben64 | sda1986: why do you want to compile a kernel? | 10:46 |
| oCean | jetole: the way cypher-neo just explained to mivulf is the proper way. I have no idea what the documentation says | 10:46 |
| sda1986 | Ben64, the standard kernel on repository doesn't support some stuff of my new laptop, most important touchpad, with a 3.2 kernel it support it | 10:47 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, oCean, I just quoted the documentation. ;) | 10:47 |
| oCean | there you go | 10:47 |
| diverdude | llutz: last time the problem was with graphic drivers and i gave up fixing it | 10:47 |
| diverdude | llutz: i suspect its the same problem again | 10:47 |
| Ben64 | sda1986: you could upgrade to 12.04 | 10:47 |
| === arpitgoyal is now known as arpit | ||
| cypher-neo | jetole, oCean, However, on 10.04 there is a GUI interface that is much easier to use than Terminal commands. | 10:48 |
| jetole | oCean: it may be the documented way or the commonly accepted way but the logic to state it is the proper way is flawed and while it may work in mivulf's case it should only be used in a circumstance where the user knows that they want to change it system wide and for everything else there should be a standard default procedure on how to do it for just your user | 10:48 |
| mysteriousdarren | meco: I would uninstall the old one | 10:48 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: yeah but it's not just a case of what was there but basic system administration skills which dictate best practices | 10:48 |
| sda1986 | Ben64, yes but it's still alpha isn't it? I want a stable system, i can live with beta but not with alpha | 10:48 |
| meco | mysteriousdarren: ok... | 10:48 |
| oCean | jetole: ok, but again the question is "how to set another version of firefox as a default in ubuntu 11.10 by using symlinks" | 10:49 |
| jetole | cypher-neo and oCean: it's like comparing telling a user to edit a file in /usr/share/vim when instead they should place the change in ~/.vimrc | 10:49 |
| mysteriousdarren | meco: what did you install? what was the old one? | 10:49 |
| jetole | oCean: I didn't say anything about symlinks | 10:49 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, There's no such thing as basic when using symlinks. The 10.04 program updated the "update-alternatives" just the same as the command function does. | 10:50 |
| Ben64 | sda1986: its doing a lot better now than before. all the times i've compiled a kernel on ubuntu things haven't worked how they should, so i wouldn't recommend it | 10:50 |
| meco | mysteriousdarren: I'm moving from transmission to tribler | 10:50 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, And you were talking about symlinks when suggesting the Preferred Applications program. | 10:50 |
| === arpitgoyal is now known as arpitgyl | ||
| jetole | cypher-neo: in 10.04, I don't know how it works but I know it doesn't affect all users | 10:50 |
| oCean | nvm, I don't see this discussion going anywhere, let's move back to support | 10:50 |
| sda1986 | Ben64, ok, i'll make a try! | 10:51 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, update-alternatives doesn't affect all users either. | 10:51 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, It only affects the current user, or global settings if the user is admin | 10:51 |
| m0ron5 | where do i put pci=routeirq for USB2 support? I cannot find the menu.1st (didn't know it has changed of late) | 10:51 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: I was referring to mivulf's question but now I'm correcting oCean who is saying the proper way to do it is to make changes for all users because that's what someone else told him (I assume since he mentioned he didn't read it in any documentation) | 10:51 |
| mysteriousdarren | meco: I am not familar with tribler sorry | 10:51 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, And there's more to the command if you want to affect it globally | 10:51 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: ah well that changes everything | 10:52 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: and I didn't realize | 10:52 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, Depending on how many people use the computer, it is much easier to make changes globally. It's also more secure to make global changes. | 10:52 |
| jetole | so, cypher-neo and oCean: this was all my mistake. No one had mentioned update-alternatives only affects the current user till now and I didn't know | 10:52 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, Once you've patched a problem you don't want to leave it open on one user account to be reopened. | 10:52 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: true but that should be an alternative action vs. a default action | 10:53 |
| mivulf | cypher-neo: jetole: ok big thx for a help, sirs. | 10:53 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, Let me check... just to be sure... | 10:53 |
| bsdVIP | i got banned in here yesterday by freakin ocean | 10:53 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: speaking as a sys admin myself, the changes should affect all users only when you're intending to affect all users | 10:53 |
| asiekierka | hey | 10:54 |
| asiekierka | my dad's running a ubuntu 10.10 livecd and to get teamviewer working i need to install ia32-libs | 10:54 |
| asiekierka | any workaround? | 10:54 |
| quiescens | to my knowledge update-alternatives does affect all users | 10:54 |
| diverdude | i have nvidia drivers. WHat should i write in order to do? sudo apt-get remove --purge video drivers ? is it sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current ? | 10:54 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: I assumed this was regarding changes in /etc/alternatives and I shouldn't have assumed anything | 10:54 |
| scarleo | m0ron5, in /etc/default/grub the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 10:54 |
| jetole | cypher-neo & oCean: again, my mistake | 10:55 |
| oCean | jetole: no prob, really | 10:55 |
| duelle | Hi there, currently I have a partition encrypted. Now I would like to do a fresh install of my system. Do I have to back anything to be able to mount my encrypted partition after reinstall? | 10:55 |
| scarleo | m0ron5, or for just testing just edit the line for one boot in grub when booting | 10:55 |
| cypher-neo | quiescens, Oh really? | 10:55 |
| jetole | ... oh | 10:56 |
| cypher-neo | quiescens, I was under the impression that it was single user, unless you tagged it with --admindir | 10:56 |
| jetole | ... oh @ quiescens | 10:56 |
| * jetole looks | 10:56 | |
| m0ron5 | scarleo, thanks! | 10:56 |
| ubuntugt | ocean you fucking loser | 10:56 |
| cypher-neo | lol | 10:57 |
| quiescens | --admindir is only if you have things in nonstandard locations | 10:57 |
| cypher-neo | oCean, High five! | 10:57 |
| paraxxo | how can i make make my res 1024x600 16:9 in LUbuntu | 10:57 |
| cypher-neo | quiescens, Oh... | 10:57 |
| cypher-neo | jetole, My bad. It's possible I was wrong. Since I'm the only user on my computer, I've never had a chance to check and see if any other user accounts are affected by an update-alternatives change. | 10:58 |
| m0ron5 | one more thing before i reboot the system to test this out... where can i put 'apt-get clean' in the system scripts to be sure that the apt cache is cleared either on bootup or shutdown (need this to be transparent.. without a password challenge.. irrespective of the user rebooting the system!!) | 10:59 |
| cypher-neo | m0ron5, You could put it in .bash, but it would need to be a shell script. | 11:00 |
| cypher-neo | m0ron5, I'm not sure I can help you there. I just got started with Shell... I have my computer doing some very interesting things on startup, but nothing like that. | 11:01 |
| m0ron5 | cypher-neo, but wouldn't that fail without the sudo privileges and password? | 11:01 |
| jetole | m0ron5: if it doesn't have to be on startup or shutdown but instead every so many days (can be every 1 day) see /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic | 11:01 |
| pnorman | m0ron5: I can't give you exact details, but I suggest reading /etc/init.d/README | 11:02 |
| testt | openjdk-6-jre takes 50%-90% CPU even if the program takes 1% CPU when run in windows with the sun jre, is it a bug with ubuntu | 11:02 |
| jetole | m0ron5: specifically APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "5"; | 11:02 |
| jetole | m0ron5: and this would in fact be the preferred way to do it | 11:02 |

| jetole | m0ron5: no problem | 11:04 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, I can try | 11:05 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: thx man. its just totally gone | 11:05 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Okay. I assume you want some files left on the hard drive though. | 11:05 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: yeah I just finished my testing, update-alternatives seems to be global only | 11:05 |
| diffred | hi! Ubuntu 11.10, I have changed my user name in System Settings, everything seems fine except when I open a terminal I still get oldname@computer~. I have already restarted and still appears. Any idea how can I change the terminal username? Thanks in advance | 11:05 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: no programs responded so i did hard reboot and now cannot start the system again | 11:05 |
| jetole | cypher-neo: as far as I can tell | 11:06 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Can you boot from a USB stick or Live CD? | 11:06 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: i would like the old system to work again...so not reinstall because i got stuff lying in that system and setups which i would like to keep | 11:07 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: i can boot in recovery mode and get a terminal | 11:07 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Do you have a spare 2Gb USB drive? | 11:07 |
| paraxxo | Myrtti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/837635/ | 11:07 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: mmm yes i might have that. what should it be used for? | 11:08 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Here's what I have in mind. This is what I use to rescue systems... | 11:08 |
| Stelpa | hello again :P | 11:08 |
| Myrtti | paraxxo: and what happens when you try to do what the error message suggests? | 11:08 |
| Stelpa | i have another question; don't worry, this one shouldn't be distro-specific | 11:08 |
| Stelpa | if you don't mind me asking, i mean :x | 11:09 |
| Stelpa | this place is just much more friendly than mint's help chan :\ | 11:09 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: ok im listening | 11:09 |
| jetole | Stelpa: what is the question? | 11:09 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Boot the computer using a Live CD, and click "Try" not "Install" so it boots to the Live CD desktop. Then pop in your USB drive and use the USB Drive creator to make a Live-USB-drive that you can boot from. Then restart the computer, ejecting the CD, and boot from the USB drive. | 11:09 |
| paraxxo | Myrtti: in the first time i tried to fix missing it output error , second time it worked . lubuntu is stable ? | 11:10 |
| Stelpa | jetole: :D | 11:10 |
| Stelpa | how can you make linux automatically copy files from one folder to another? | 11:10 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, This frees up your CD/DVD burner, so you can mount the hard drive and burn files to CD/DVD | 11:10 |
| Stelpa | i have just recently set up my harddrive, and i would like to make my system automatically copy files from one folder to another on the new harddrive | 11:10 |
| jetole | Stelpa: don't know if there is any standard solution but try inosync | 11:10 |
| Stelpa | as backup | 11:10 |
| Stelpa | hmm | 11:10 |
| Stelpa | i will look, ty! | 11:10 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Make sense? | 11:11 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: yeah but what about all my setups... ? i thinks its just a matter of fixing the graphics drivers somehow | 11:11 |
| scarleo | Stelpa, just make a small copy script that does the job and run it with a cron job | 11:11 |
| jetole | Stelpa: yeah there isn't really a standard solution to that as far as I know. backups are often scheduled | 11:11 |
| Stelpa | scarleo: i am too noob for this :x | 11:11 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: i dont think its necessary to reformat everything | 11:11 |
| wenning | hello | 11:11 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, I am mainly trying to let you backup your files before tweaking your system, just in case. | 11:11 |
| Stelpa | could you maybe help write it, or would that be too much to ask? :x | 11:11 |
| jetole | Stelpa: then you would be lost with inosync too. If that is too newbie for you then you may be up the creek without a paddle | 11:11 |
| jetole | Stelpa: how would you set this up on windows? | 11:12 |
| paraxxo | Myrtti: i installed grandr and it doesnt let u choose 16:9 or 4:3 or w.e u want | 11:12 |
| Stelpa | jetole: idunno :\ | 11:12 |
| CharminTheMoose_ | Is it possible for two kernels of the same version on the same system to co-exist without too much hassle? | 11:12 |
| jetole | Stelpa: me either | 11:12 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, What happened to the graphics drivers you were using? | 11:12 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Were they working fine before? Did you change anything? | 11:12 |
| Stelpa | but it would be convenient; transmission (the torrent client) automatically saves .torrent files to a directory that seems like it can't be changed | 11:13 |
| scarleo | Stelpa, http://pastie.org/3360232 | 11:13 |
| Stelpa | but i'd like to host my torrents on my new harddrive | 11:13 |
| Myrtti | paraxxo: 16:9 are just aspect ratios, does it have any resolutions of that ratio? | 11:13 |
| Stelpa | scarleo: that's all? 0_0 | 11:13 |
| paraxxo | Myrtti: grandr ? | 11:13 |
| === root is now known as Guest67810 | ||
| diverdude | cypher-neo: i have no idea...i changed nothing....but i saw articles where ppl say this problem is related to graphic drivers | 11:13 |

| === Guest67810 is now known as na_kai | ||
| Stelpa | i see, that is simple! | 11:13 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, What problem? | 11:14 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, What does it do? | 11:14 |
| Stelpa | but, how could i make it, as jetole said, do it on a schedule? | 11:14 |
| scarleo | Stelpa, yes, then run crontab -e and follow instructions or google for more help | 11:14 |
| jetole | Stelpa: heh. no that's not all. That's a bash script he posted that you then need to set as a bash script, give it executable permissions then add it to the crontab | 11:14 |
| Myrtti | paraxxo: yes? | 11:14 |
| paraxxo | Myrtti: when i installed Ubuntu-Netbook-Edition it was perfect resolution with 1024x600 16:9 but it was too slow for my netbook so im trying lubuntu now | 11:14 |
| scarleo | Stelpa, yes, chmod +x on the file, sorry forgot | 11:14 |
| paraxxo | and the resolution is horribole | 11:14 |
| lucidmadman | i have a newbie samba question | 11:15 |
| Stelpa | i know how to chmod, i am not THAT newbie, but still i'm a noob >_< | 11:16 |
| Stelpa | ty for all the help! i'm gonna try this :D | 11:16 |
| jetole | Stelpa: scarleo's solution works and pretty well. There are a lot of inotify solutions that I think work better but if a bash script is too much for you then, I'm sorry to say, but at this point I'm a little too tired to walk you through it so I'm gonna turn this over to scarleo who can help you better then I can | 11:16 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, What is the problem? Can you describe it? | 11:16 |
| jetole | lucidmadman: did you ask in #samba? | 11:16 |
| Stelpa | jetole: that's fine, ty very much for being patient with me... i know ubuntu and mint don't get along too well, and honestly i kinda regret choosing mint, but its a bit too late to go back on it now :s | 11:17 |
| Stelpa | so anyways ty for being nice :) | 11:17 |
| lucidmadman | i haven't, I'll try there, thanks jetole! | 11:17 |
| jetole | Stelpa: while this is a ubuntu room, unlike your previous question from earlier, this one actually could be equally asked in a #aix room or #hpux or #redhat or just about any *nix room so no worries | 11:18 |
| jetole | lucidmadman: np | 11:18 |
| Stelpa | jetole: that is what i was thinking, which is why i got the courage to return :s | 11:18 |
| Stelpa | some distros are quite different, but these types of things seem almost universal | 11:19 |
| * jetole goes back to reading what I was reading | 11:19 | |
| jetole | holy crap! I googled pam audit and found a facebook page for pam audit: http://www.facebook.com/pam.audit | 11:20 |
| jetole | I wonder if /etc/passwd has a facebook page too | 11:20 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Maybe you could link me to the articles you were reading which describe the problem you are having? | 11:20 |
| asiekierka | jetole what about /etc/shaodw? | 11:20 |

| jetole | asiekierka: yeah but it keeps all it's information private ;-) | 11:21 |
| paraxxo | Myrtti: theres Lubuntu netbook edition ? | 11:21 |
| === szal_ is now known as szal | ||
| Jacruth | But I'm not able to know what filetype is /dev/sdb | 11:22 |
| Jacruth | I think it is ext2 or ext3 | 11:22 |
| jetole | Jacruth: it's a disk | 11:22 |
| Jacruth | It is. | 11:22 |
| quiescens | Jacruth: sudo file -s /dev/sdb | 11:22 |
| jetole | Jacruth: it can be either but it really shouldn't be | 11:22 |
| jetole | Jacruth: if it is then you made a mistake but that doesn't mean it won't work either | 11:23 |
| Jacruth | quiescens, file -s returns this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/837646/ | 11:23 |
| Ben64 | Jacruth: doesn't look like sdb has a filesystem | 11:23 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, You around? | 11:23 |
| paraxxo | anyone know if theres any Lubuntu-Netbook-Edition | 11:23 |
| lucidmadman | jetole: #samba has clammed up on me | 11:23 |
| lucidmadman | mind if I ask here? | 11:23 |
| Stelpa | hmm, scarleo, i am trying to run the script first to test it, and it doesn't seem to be copy-ing | 11:24 |
| quiescens | Jacruth: then /dev/sdb contains a partition table rather than just a file system | 11:24 |
| Jacruth | jetole, what do you mean about I made mistake? Do you mean while fortmatting? | 11:24 |
| jetole | lucidmadman: fascinating. I never said I could help you either. Just that it was a better place to ask samba questions | 11:24 |
| cypher-neo | paraxxo, Netbook Edition was replaced by the Unity interface in 11.04 | 11:24 |
| lucidmadman | haha fair enough | 11:24 |
| Ben64 | Jacruth: you put an extended partition, but no real partition | 11:24 |
| scarleo | Stelpa, did you put the right paths? | 11:24 |
| Jacruth | jetole, I did not format it (but I need to fix it, thanks dad!) so I don't know what did my father do with it | 11:24 |
| jetole | Jacruth: no disk should not have a partition table meaning /dev/sdb should not have a file system | 11:24 |
| Stelpa | scarleo: i think so.... | 11:24 |
| Stelpa | cp /home/.config/transmission/torrents /media/Wendy/Downloads/Torrents | 11:24 |
| paraxxo | cypher-neo: im talking about a lubuntu version for netbook resolution | 11:24 |
| mirek | hey jest tu jakis polak | 11:25 |
| quiescens | Jacruth: you can use sudo fdisk -l to see what partitions are available | 11:25 |
| cypher-neo | paraxxo, Let me check | 11:25 |
| oCean | !pl | mirek | 11:25 |
| ubottu | mirek: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 11:25 |
| jetole | Jacruth: from the output provided by the file command you ran it looks like it is a normal disk and there is no file system on it | 11:25 |
| scarleo | Stelpa, try 'cp -r' and verify both paths exist | 11:25 |
| CharminTheMoose_ | Is it possible for two kernels of the same version on the same system to co-exist without too much hassle? | 11:25 |
| Jacruth | quiescens, that is what I pasted first | 11:25 |
| jetole | Jacruth: maybe your dad deleted the partition table | 11:25 |
| scnupf | hi | 11:25 |
| Jacruth | jetole, I guess he did it. | 11:25 |
| cypher-neo | paraxxo, AFAIK the regular install supports all those resolutions now. But I want to make sure of that. ;) | 11:25 |
| Ben64 | Jacruth: you just need to create a partition, not very difficult | 11:26 |
| jetole | Jacruth: that's doesn't mean any data is lost | 11:26 |
| * Jacruth nods | 11:26 | |
| Jacruth | jetole, really? | 11:26 |
| Ben64 | data is likely gone | 11:26 |
| paraxxo | cypher-neo: i already installed lubuntu on my netbook and it doesnt support my screen | 11:26 |
| jetole | Ben64: no it doesn't | 11:26 |
| jetole | Jacruth: what Ben64 just said is wrong | 11:26 |
| quiescens | Jacruth: oh sorry, i did not see that part, my mistake. if the partition information was deleted without deleting the data itself then you can recover everything | 11:26 |
| Ben64 | jetole: most likely it is gone | 11:26 |
| Stelpa | scarleo: ohhhhh, ty, forgot my user dir | 11:27 |
| damo22 | unless he formatted the partition again | 11:27 |
| quiescens | Jacruth: but if it was properly formatted then it isn't worth the effort trying unless it is worth a lot | 11:27 |
| jetole | Jacruth: a partition table only exists within the first 512 bytes of a disk (at least the most common and almost universal foramt of the MS-DOS partition table does) | 11:27 |
| damo22 | then its gone | 11:27 |
| lucidmadman | anyone tell me how I find out what the domain should be when logging on to to a samba share from a windows box | 11:27 |
| scarleo | Stelpa, yeah :) | 11:27 |
| Jacruth | jetole, it makes sense | 11:27 |
| jetole | Jacruth: this means a partition table can be written a million times over and no data on the disk is touched except that first 512 bytes | 11:27 |
| cypher-neo | paraxxo, According to the Ubuntu website: "you may now use the standard ubuntu desktop CD image to install on net-books with specifications such as: 1024x600 resolution | 11:27 |
| jetole | Jacruth: now there is a solution to recovering a lost partition table | 11:28 |
| cypher-neo | paraxxo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 11:28 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: sorry are you still there_ | 11:28 |
| cypher-neo | paraxxo, That was Ubuntu, not Lubuntu | 11:28 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Yes, here... | 11:28 |
| Jacruth | jetole, I was thinking about gparted. | 11:28 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: well the system just hangs at startup | 11:28 |
| jetole | Jacruth: I forget the name of the tool however I will see if I can find it in a moment but it will scan your disk and find the actual partitions and then re-create the partition table | 11:28 |
| paraxxo | cypher-neo: but i was Lubuntu because its fast | 11:28 |
| jetole | Ben64: I forget the name of the tool however I will see if I can find it in a moment but it will scan your disk and find the actual partitions and then re-create the partition table | 11:28 |
| damo22 | jetole: testdisk? | 11:28 |
| cypher-neo | paraxxo, Lubuntu doesn't list it's resolution on that page. Still looking. | 11:28 |
| Ben64 | jetole: parted can attempt to recover | 11:29 |
| quiescens | testdisk can most likely do it | 11:29 |
| paraxxo | cypher-neo: thank you very much | 11:29 |
| jetole | damo22: doesn't sound familiar but that means nothing other then it may be one of the many tools that does just that | 11:29 |
| cypher-neo | paraxxo, Actually it says 800x600 for Lubuntu | 11:29 |
| Jacruth | Should I give it a try? | 11:29 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: it hangs at * starting deferred execution scheduler | 11:29 |
| Ben64 | you have to know where the old partition(s) started/stopped to recover | 11:30 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, So it doesn't even finish booting? | 11:30 |
| damo22 | Ben64: no you dont | 11:30 |
| jetole | Jacruth: I'm siding with damo22. testdisk looks like it can do exactly what you need | 11:30 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: exactly | 11:30 |
| Ben64 | damo22: yes you do | 11:30 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Uh-oh... | 11:30 |
| === papa is now known as angelofdeath | ||
| jetole | Ben64: if you need to know where the old partitions started and stopped then that's not the tool you would use | 11:30 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: i tried reinstalling nvidia drivers | 11:30 |
| Ben64 | rescue START END rescue a lost partition near START and END | 11:30 |
| damo22 | Ben64: testdisk can recover without input like that | 11:31 |
| jetole | Ben64: granted gparted is great but there are tools that only need to know the disk to look at | 11:31 |
| Jacruth | cool! | 11:31 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Umm, this is an odd request. Try booting from the CD and see how far along in the boot you get. If you manage to boot the Live CD, click Try Ubuntu and see how far along that gets. | 11:31 |
| Ben64 | parted != gparted | 11:31 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Out of curiousity, what are the specs on your computer? | 11:31 |
| bobo123 | what is the difference between gnome (version 3) and gnome classic ?? | 11:31 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: its a lenovo W520 | 11:31 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, GNOME3 doesn't use Unity | 11:32 |
| jetole | Ben64: no it's not the same app. you are right. Who said differently? | 11:32 |
| jetole | Jacruth: try testdisk that damo22 mentioned | 11:32 |
| UidX | can pulseaudio stream an audio outside of my local network? | 11:32 |
| Ben64 | jetole: i said parted, you said gparted | 11:32 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, why are you mentioning Unity? | 11:32 |
| paraxxo | cypher-neo: so should i just install UNR cuz theres no lnr | 11:32 |
| jetole | Ben64: oh my mistake | 11:32 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: ill try live boot | 11:32 |
| Jacruth | jetole, I'm installing it, thanks. | 11:32 |
| damo22 | Jacruth: do you know how many partitions were there before? | 11:32 |
| jetole | Jacruth: No prob. Thank damo22 too | 11:32 |

| cypher-neo | paraxxo, I would try that. | 11:33 |
| sarwo | tes | 11:33 |
| Jacruth | damo22, sdb, I supose. | 11:33 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, Because you asked what the difference is, and I told you the basic difference. | 11:33 |
| jetole | Jacruth: sdb isn't a partition | 11:33 |

| jetole | Jacruth: a partition would be like sdb1, sdb2, etc | 11:33 |
| paraxxo | cypher-neo: can u tell me if theres any other kinds of linux netbook edition , becus ubuntu netbook runs real slow | 11:33 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, My bad... You mentioned GNOME classic | 11:33 |
| Jacruth | sorry, language barrier. | 11:33 |
| damo22 | Jacruth: did you split your drive into mulitple? or only 1? | 11:33 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, yes | 11:34 |
| Jacruth | damo22, wait a second, I'll show you something | 11:34 |
| jetole | damo22: he ran file against it and it showed a MBR and other data to indicate it's a partitioned disk | 11:34 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, The difference between GNOME3 and Classic is Classic resembles GNOME back in the GNOME2.x days (Ubuntu 10.10 and previous versions) | 11:34 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: live boot works just fine | 11:34 |
| jetole | damo22: or at least that it's not a disk with extX on it outside of a partition table | 11:34 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: i dont think anything is wrong with the computer. the problem is ubuntu | 11:34 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, so how can i change the theme in gnome 3? | 11:34 |
| Jacruth | damo22, what about this? http://i.imgur.com/83Kde.png | 11:34 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, i copied a theme in the .themes directory, but no theme is shown in the gnome-tweak-tool | 11:35 |
| Stelpa | scarleo: i think i got it working! :D | 11:35 |
| damo22 | Jacruth: you can use this info to recover | 11:35 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, GNOME3 is a version of GNOME that doesn't use Unity (like 11.04 to current) but uses a similar interface based on Mutter. | 11:35 |
| Stelpa | scarleo: ty for all the help ^_^ | 11:35 |
| jetole | Jacruth: that looks good but you showed fdisk -l which didn't show a partition there | 11:35 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: so how can i fix it | 11:36 |
| damo22 | Jacruth: did you make that yourself AFTER trying to recover? | 11:36 |
| quiescens | jetole: it did, it said there was 1 extended partition, and nothing else, but its in a different language | 11:36 |
| Jacruth | jetole, that is why I'm a little confused. Why gparted shows them? | 11:36 |
| Jacruth | damo22, I didn't. | 11:36 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, Take the theme out of the .themes directory. Open gnome-tweak-tool and click on the Themes tab. Install the theme by loading it directly in the tool. It will install the theme to the correct directory if it is a valid theme. | 11:36 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, but it is not possible to install gnome 2 on ubuntu 11.10? | 11:36 |
| damo22 | Jacruth: it says there are no partitions except an extended one | 11:37 |
| quiescens | anyway, try the testdisk thing if someone is walking you through it, and be careful | 11:37 |
| jetole | quiescens: ah you're right. my mistake and no hable espanol | 11:37 |
| ubuntu | ciaoo | 11:37 |
| ubuntu | !lista | 11:37 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 11:37 |
| quiescens | jetole: yeah, i was looking at it thinking the same thing | 11:37 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, it will be of great help if you could tell me where is the open file button in the gnome-tweak-tool, because i can't find such button | 11:37 |
| diverdude | cypher?? | 11:38 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: + | 11:38 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Don't know. Last time I had a computer hang halfway through boot like what you describe it was a faulty video card (one that needed to be completely replaced). Time before that, it was a faulty CPU. | 11:38 |
| jetole | quiescens: yeah I just mis-read it is all | 11:38 |
| damo22 | Jacruth: how big was your old drive when you were using it? | 11:38 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Both were hardware problems... | 11:38 |
| jetole | Jacruth: wait! stop! run: file -s /dev/sdb1 | 11:38 |
| Jacruth | damo22, I think there is not any way to know it, I supo... | 11:38 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: but if it works in live boot then i guess its not a hardware problem? | 11:38 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, That's what I'm trying to test. If it's hardware or Ubuntu | 11:39 |
| Jacruth | jetole, http://paste.ubuntu.com/837657/ | 11:39 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, If it hangs on a Live CD boot, it's almost definitely hardware. | 11:39 |
| Jacruth | it is a x86 boot sector | 11:39 |
| jetole | Jacruth: just for fun, run: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt | 11:39 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: it does not hang on Live CD boot | 11:39 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, Click on the Themes tab. Do you see a load file button next to the Theme changer? | 11:39 |
| cypher-neo | diverdude, Well, that's good... I suppose. | 11:40 |
| jetole | Jacruth: and if there is no output then run: ls /mnt | 11:40 |
| Jacruth | jetole, it says I need to specify the filetype | 11:40 |
| Jacruth | I tried with ext2, ext3, ntfs and vfat | 11:40 |
| Jacruth | without success | 11:40 |
| jetole | Jacruth: meh. ok. I leave you in the hands of damo22 and testdisk | 11:40 |
| Jacruth | thanks | 11:40 |
| diverdude | cypher-neo: yes...but that leaves me with a broken ubuntu again | 11:40 |
| diverdude | :/ | 11:41 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, no there is no such button, there is only: Window Theme (Drop Down Box), Shell Theme (Not available - Shell user-extension not enabled), GTK-Theme DropDown Box | 11:41 |
| jetole | Jacruth: yeah if it's a known fs type it should/would have auto detected it | 11:41 |
| diverdude | man im gonna go for linux mint i think...hoping for fewer problems | 11:41 |
| cypher-neo | OH!! | 11:41 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, OH!! You need to install the theme changer! | 11:41 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, One sec | 11:41 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, ok | 11:41 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, Open your Terminal | 11:43 |

| Dr_willis | Drakalen: did you do a WUBI install? or a normal insatall? | 11:54 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, Click the ORANGE box about halfway down the page that says APT INSTALL | 11:54 |
| Drakalen | normal install | 11:55 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, got it | 11:55 |
| Drakalen | because i install polish edition | 11:55 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, *sigh* the package was deleted from the repository | 11:55 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, should i deinstall it first? | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | Drakalen: on my systems. it boots to grub and boots ubuntu automatically.. | 11:55 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, You already had it? | 11:55 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, in the ubuntu software center it says remove not install | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | Drakalen: you see a grub boot menu? | 11:55 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, :o | 11:55 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, yes i installed it already | 11:55 |
| Dr_willis | Drakalen: theres no need to Msg me.. | 11:55 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, i installed it but nothing has changed | 11:55 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, Okay. One sec. Switching gears. lol | 11:55 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, it is really weird | 11:55 |
| Drakalen | DR_willis i don't see grub boot menu | 11:56 |
| Dr_willis | Drakalen: then somthing failed during the install it seems. | 11:56 |
| Dr_willis | !fixboot | 11:56 |
| Drakalen | or maybe i must config that? | 11:56 |
| Dr_willis | !fixgrub | 11:56 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 11:56 |
| Dr_willis | Drakalen: it is the default for it to set up grub and boot to ubuntu. | 11:56 |
| Drakalen | because when i turn on PC, he automatically run windows 7 | 11:56 |
| Drakalen | i install "Niebiańska Nimfa" this is special edition | 11:57 |
| Drakalen | so maybe that is reason | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | Drakalen: no idea. The normal default ubuntu - installs grub and sets ubuntu as the default boot item. | 11:57 |
| Dr_willis | Try the regular ubuntu release is my advice. | 11:57 |
| Raver | hey guys | 11:57 |
| damo22 | Drakalen: if you installed win7 after ubuntu it will kill grub | 11:58 |
| Dr_willis | These special variants are normally not supported here. | 11:58 |
| Drakalen | nope i install first win7 | 11:58 |
| Drakalen | and today Ubuntu | 11:58 |
| szal | Drakalen: 'lsb_release -a' please | 11:58 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, any ideas? | 11:58 |
| Drakalen | eee where ? | 11:58 |
| Drakalen | xd | 11:58 |
| damo22 | Drakalen: where did you tell grub bootloader to install to? | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | His system is not booting szal :) | 11:59 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, stay on line i will do a short logout | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | Grub could have gotten installed to a differnt hd. or flash., or failed to install for some reason. | 11:59 |
| Dr_willis | the !fixgrub wilki page should walk you through the reinstalling of grub with a live cd. | 11:59 |

| cypher-neo | bobo123, And when it tells you there are updates to be had... | 12:02 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:02 |
| damo22 | Drakalen: you need to boot a livecd and fix grub | 12:02 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, I think your version of gnome-tweak-tool might be old | 12:02 |
| bobo123 | ok i am doing an upgrade right now | 12:02 |
| mongy | I removed quiet and splash from grub but I still dont see the text while booting? | 12:02 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, i installed it with apt-get | 12:02 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, The one on the Oneiric repository is old | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | !text | 12:03 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 12:03 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, The PPA is up to date though | 12:03 |
| mongy | ugh | 12:03 |
| Drakalen | damo22: i'm now with livecd, but how fix Grub? | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | mongy: you did rerun 'sudo update-grub' after editing the grub configs? | 12:03 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, The current gnome-tweak-tool is version 3.x | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | mongy: i tend touse 'noquiet nosplash nofb text' and set the grub setting to use a text only consoel display. not the higher res franebuffer displays | 12:04 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, I managed to lay my hands on 3.2, but I can't find that version in any PPA now. | 12:04 |
| mongy | Dr_willis, just editing the boot menu at boot time for now. | 12:04 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, after the upgrade i will check the version | 12:04 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, But upgrading it to version 3 should make the load menu pop up in the Themes tab | 12:04 |
| Dr_willis | mongy: try all the options perhaps. 'noquiet nosplash nofb text' | 12:04 |
| mongy | k | 12:05 |

| stefan_ | I'm currently using a HDD with Ubuntu an Windows installed on it. Now I've bought a SSD and want to install Ubuntu on it and keep Windows on the HDD. How should I proceed? Just install Ubuntu on the SSD and it will detect Windows on the HDD and put it into the bootloader or is there anything I have to consider? | 12:20 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, Wait | 12:20 |
| bobo123 | i reinstalled it yesterday, it wont | 12:20 |
| cypher-neo | Try what _skpl said | 12:20 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, how can i do that? | 12:20 |
| rumpe1 | stefan_, usually it will be detected and added to the booloader menu | 12:21 |
| _skpl | alt-f2 then type r and press enter, but close gnome-tweak-tool first | 12:21 |
| _skpl | restart, then re-open gnome-tweak-tool, then enable the user theme extension | 12:21 |
| bobo123 | ok i will restart now | 12:21 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, REstart the computer... or "Alt-F2" press r and hit enter | 12:21 |
| cypher-neo | _skpl, Thanks ;) | 12:21 |
| roura | I keep being denied permission while trying sudo dpkg clear-avail ?? | 12:21 |
| rumpe1 | stefan_, also you should consider to activate the "discard" mount parameter for the partitions on the ssd, if you use ext4 filesystem. | 12:22 |
| cypher-neo | _skpl, I forgot about needing to restart the shell | 12:22 |

| bobo123 | cypher-neo, gnome 2 was somehow better | 12:24 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, Your computer is getting on my nerves too... Try going back to gnome-tweak-tool and enabling the extension. | 12:24 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, If it is actually installed, it will show up. | 12:24 |

| kaltorak | Hello, I'm trying to remove the privileges from a user to mount external media, or access it, I've unmarked all privileges at System>Administration>Users and groups>Advanced settings>user privileges, I've trying with the gdm-guest session, and so, but all the same, still mounting the usb key when I insert it, and has full access to it, I was wondering how it's possible this ? and how can I avoid this undesired mount ? | 12:31 |
| roura | ok, i still dont undertand why i cant install Gimp | 12:31 |

| cypher-neo | roura, I hate USC. It doesn't give proper explanations for failure. | 12:33 |
| cypher-neo | roura, Try running "sudo apt-get install gimp" from the Terminal | 12:33 |
| cypher-neo | roura, That will tell you why it won't install. And I can work from there... | 12:33 |
| rumpe1 | kaltorak, hmm... maybe you can deactivate fuse somehow? Or look into udev rule definitions? Just some thoughts. | 12:34 |
| kaltorak | rumpel, consider that I need to unprivileged just one user, not all the users, I will read about udev | 12:34 |
| rumpe1 | kaltorak, udev is more low-level. You can define, what happens when certain patterns match a detected device. | 12:35 |
| UidX | wow, this is spicy | 12:36 |
| mac_osx | I have a quick question if someone has a minute. After MANY hours, I finally found a way to access my etc/passwd file. I need to know how many dudes are in me. | 12:36 |
| kaltorak | rumpel, understand, but, how is done in ubuntu for mount the usb key or so, without being root, when just root can use the mount order ? (this is just for curious) | 12:37 |
| roura | cypher-neo -- sorry that took a bit.... "installArchives() failed: dpkg: error: reading package info file '/var/lib/dpkg/available': Input/output error" | 12:37 |
| UidX | can't you just do like sudo nano /etc/passwd ? | 12:37 |
| mac_osx | UidX, none of that worked till I finally went through Nautilus | 12:37 |
| mac_osx | This is what I got | 12:38 |
| rumpe1 | kaltorak, that's what FUSE (filesystem in userspace) is for. Even unprivileged users can mount media to the /home/username/.gvfs gnome virtual filesystem. | 12:38 |

| dns53 | mac_osx look at your /etc/passwords file and anything with a user above 1000 is a normal user, 1-999 is usually an os account | 12:39 |

| lucidmadman | can someone tell me what the commandline would be to install virtualbox on ubuntu 11.10 64bit? | 13:14 |
| holstein | if you are not sure how to find and close those, you can reboot and start over.. you can have only one package manager running at a time | 13:14 |
| roura | i just reboot'd | 13:14 |
| holstein | roura: you can open a terminal and run ps aux | 13:15 |

| === Companion is now known as companion | ||
| cypher-neo | glebihan, Thank you! I wasn't sure where to go after that last one. | 13:16 |
| Chipzzz | lucidmadman: sorry... it's " sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" | 13:16 |
| holstein | Jonathan_: sure... if you have an older kernel try using it | 13:16 |
| glebihan | cypher-neo, you're welcome, hope it works | 13:17 |
| Tinybird | Hi, all | 13:17 |
| cypher-neo | glebihan, Me too. I hate dpkg errors | 13:17 |

| === BlackHawk is now known as BalckHawkHacker | ||
| lucidmadman | Chipzzz: thanks | 13:18 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, Possibly... I don't mess too much with Classic. | 13:18 |
| Chipzzz | :-) | 13:18 |
| cypher-neo | bobo123, I know you'll need the tweak-tool for GTK3 themes, icon themes, and cursor themes. | 13:18 |
| Tinybird | I am using ubuntu 8.10, I find it very hard to update my software because I cannot use "apt-get" | 13:19 |
| holstein | Jonathan_: sometimes a kernel upgrade and "break" funcionality... if this is an issue that has started after an upgrade, then you can try an older kernel.. i usually just look in the grub list and boot the older one as a troubleshooting step... if thats not the case, trying a different kernel can still give you an idea | 13:19 |
| bobo123 | cypher-neo, because i installed gnome-tweak-tool and gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme and i don't see this but again | 13:19 |
| lucidmadman | chipzzz: when I try and start it it says "failed to open x11 display" | 13:19 |

| === BlackHawkHackeri is now known as BHawkHackerist | ||
| holstein | Tinybird: if you choose to run end-of-life, your package management will be "on your own" | 13:20 |
| Chipzzz | lucidmadman: try "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose"... maybe it does need that | 13:20 |
| cypher-neo | Tinybird, 8.10 is severely out of date. Try upgrading to the next LTS release by downloading a Live Cd and performing an upgrade. | 13:20 |
| Jonathan_ | holstein: I have never updated my kernel, and I am unsure at which point this all started happening. I can reformat and reinstall my system, but I have everything configured good now so I'd rather not | 13:20 |
| lucidmadman | chipzzz: k | 13:20 |
| Jonathan_ | holstein: I've been trying for weeks to fix this, but to no avail | 13:20 |
| Jonathan_ | holstein: Is it hard to perform a kernel upgrade? I have never done it | 13:20 |
| CharminTheMoose_ | Is there any app that does a 'network top'? | 13:21 |
| holstein | Jonathan_: im nost suggesting a reinstall... im suggesting trying a different kernel to see if that is the issue.. as a troubleshooting step.. you could even try that from a live CD>.. but, if you have *never* upgraded, thats a good first step... | 13:21 |
| holstein | Jonathan_: to upgrade the kernel on my server, i use aptitude... but im running server 10.04, the LTS | 13:22 |
| lucidmadman | chipzzz: still the same, off a reading I will go! | 13:22 |
| Tinybird | Thank you all! Yes, I know that. But I'm afraid about the upgrading process. My current ubuntu is very stable | 13:22 |
| roura | it is installed ! | 13:22 |
| roura | thank you all | 13:22 |
| Chipzzz | lucidmadman: try typing "groups" and see if you are the 'virtualbox' group | 13:22 |
| Jonathan_ | holstein: I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.10, but I have no clue on how to update the kernel, do you have any reference links I can go to? | 13:22 |
| holstein | Tinybird: then enjoy it "as-is".. you wont be able to upgrade from any repos | 13:22 |
| munya | hi there, anyone knows how to run badblocks in terminal | 13:23 |
| lucidmadman | chipzzz: it seems not | 13:23 |
| holstein | Jonathan_: i just do that using aptitude... you can join #ubuntu-server... you can run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:23 |
| lucidmadman | chipzzz: how do I fix that? | 13:23 |
| Jonathan_ | Well, I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade at regular basis, but I did not know that the kernel was upgraded as well | 13:24 |
| holstein | Jonathan_: i find those commands dont always upgrade the kernel though.. so i use aptitude | 13:24 |
| Jonathan_ | holstein: I think my issues came with a recent upgrade | 13:24 |
| Jonathan_ | holstein: But I am not sure | 13:24 |
| Jonathan_ | holstein: How can I check for versions in the file /etc/default/grub? | 13:24 |
| holstein | Jonathan_: cool... thats what i was proposing.. an upgrade that had broken something | 13:25 |
| oCean | Jonathan_: run dpkg -l | grep linux-image will show you the kernel packages installed | 13:25 |
| oCean | Jonathan_: then, apt-cache policy linux-image-server to see if a newer version is available | 13:26 |
| Jonathan_ | oCean, holstein: | 13:26 |
| Jonathan_ | ii linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic-pae 3.0.0-12.20 Linux kernel image for version 3.0.0 on x86 | 13:26 |
| Jonathan_ | ii linux-image-3.0.0-14-generic-pae 3.0.0-14.23 Linux kernel image for version 3.0.0 on x86 | 13:26 |

| Jonathan_ | Sorry | 13:26 |
| holstein | Jonathan_: you should use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ , and i wont know from looking... this is going to be specific to your hardware | 13:26 |
| Chipzzz | lucidmadman: i haven't installed vbox for a long time, so i'm not sure that's the problem... better read up on it so i don't give you bad advice :-) | 13:27 |
| oCean | Jonathan_: oh you have generic version, not -server. Run apt-cache policy linux-image-generic-pae to see if newer versions are available | 13:27 |
| Jonathan_ | oCean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/837785/ | 13:27 |
| === BHawkHackerist is now known as BlackHawker | ||
| holstein | Jonathan_: assuming it has anything to do with the kernel, which it could... you can boot one of the earlier images as i suggested to test | 13:27 |

| Jonathan_ | oCean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/837786/ | 13:27 |

| thedarkangel | hi | 13:36 |
| Luigi | when installing ubuntu with wubi and i choose my external hard drive (wich has already some files and folders on it) the hard drive won't get overwritten,will it? | 13:37 |
| elementz | is there any way to use resolution independent icon files in the 'Icon' entry within an applications .desktop file? I tried to use .iso and .svg, but none of them worked so far. | 13:37 |
| elementz | what filetype can i use? | 13:37 |
| Jonathan_ | oCean: I have upgraded the kernel now and the server is running | 13:38 |
| holstein | Luigi: it shouldnt... though i wouldnt do it that way, or suggest using wubi.. or installing an OS without backing up whats already there | 13:38 |
| Jonathan_ | oCean: The freezes occur at random times, so time will probably tell if it's worked or not | 13:38 |
| Jonathan_ | oCean: Hopefully it has :) | 13:38 |
| holstein | Jonathan_: you need to reboot into the newer kernel... i would run uname -a and make sure | 13:38 |
| oCean | Jonathan_: agreed | 13:38 |
| Jonathan_ | holsteain, oCean: http://paste.ubuntu.com/837799/ | 13:39 |

| oCean | Jonathan_: yep, that's the new version | 13:39 |
| Jonathan_ | oCean: Great, thank you :) | 13:40 |
| holstein | Luigi: you get a bigger "fake" hard drive | 13:40 |
| Jonathan_ | oCean: I don't know if you can answer this one, but I might as well try | 13:40 |
| Jonathan_ | oCean: I have XBMC standalone installed, and Xorg is talking a great amount of CPU | 13:40 |
| Jonathan_ | oCean: It's mostly between 20-40% when it's idling | 13:41 |
| Luigi | so with 981 gb free space the 30gb installation size would be the best,because then i have the most available free space for ubuntu then? | 13:41 |

| Jonathan_ | I also have a question regarding my 3x2TB disks in the RAID5 array.. They're making synchronized buzzing sounds, and I can't figure out why | 13:44 |
| sysc | mgaunard_: Not sure how NFS handles extended attributes and or resource forks. | 13:45 |
| sysc | Most of our client machines are macs | 13:45 |
| mgaunard_ | NFS scales better than SMB/CIFS | 13:46 |

| Chipzzz | arunkumar413: does it work in firefox? | 13:50 |
| Harmonium | Yes, but before there was System>Preferences>Windows (or something to that effect) and you could change it to Ctrl or Meta. I don't see that option anymore (mainly because System disappeared). | 13:50 |
| arunkumar413 | Chipzzz: didn't check. i'll check | 13:50 |
| Halexander9000 | mgaunard_: Is that safe? And if so, how am I going to do it? | 13:50 |
| mgaunard_ | Harmonium: it's probably in keyboard shortcuts | 13:50 |
| Chipzzz | arunkumar413: k | 13:50 |
| Harmonium | mgaunard_: how do I access it? | 13:51 |
| Talaty | Harmonium, Maybe with gconf-editor | 13:51 |
| mgaunard_ | Halexander9000: I personally don't use unity, but I assume you can just disable the unity plugin in ccsm | 13:51 |
| mgaunard_ | Halexander9000: compizconfigsettings-manager | 13:51 |
| mgaunard_ | Harmonium: keyboard shortcuts is in the new system settings thing | 13:51 |
| mgaunard_ | it's Keyboard > shortcuts sorry | 13:52 |
| Halexander9000 | mgaunard_: Erm, that might be a problem, considering that the only way I see that I can configure anything is through the use of the Settings menu on the Unity bar. There's nothing there that says what you just told me to look for. | 13:52 |
| mgaunard_ | Harmonium: I'm afraid I don't see what you need though :( | 13:53 |
| Harmonium | I'm checking it now. I don't see it either. | 13:53 |
| Talaty | Harmonium, "gnome-tweak-tool" or "gconf-editor" | 13:53 |
| Talaty | Harmonium, gnome-tweak-tool" i i can remember, let me check | 13:54 |
| mgaunard_ | Halexander9000: launch ccsm, it's a separate program to configure compiz | 13:54 |
| Harmonium | Talaty: gnome-tweak-tool doesn't seem to have an option to change it. | 13:54 |
| Harmonium | I'll check gconf | 13:54 |
| Halexander9000 | mgaunard_: On it. | 13:54 |
| fhtagn | hello, world! | 13:55 |

| Talaty | Harmonium, my bad, yes, it's not here, surely gconf-editor | 13:55 |
| mgaunard_ | Halexander9000: disabling the unity bar is definitely not the right way to do it, but at least it's a workaround | 13:55 |

| mgaunard_ | oh so you're really considering using another desktop manager than unity? | 13:57 |

| Chipzzz | Bubo: do you have a raid array? | 14:03 |
| Bubo | system monitor is just saying random spikes on my CPUs to 100% | 14:03 |
| Halexander9000 | Gentoo64: I went by LXDE's site and it's a whole 750 MB download. Are you sure that's the one? | 14:03 |
| Bubo | no idea what raid array is... | 14:03 |
| Gentoo64 | Halexander9000, theres a minimal install too, but yes thats it (its cd size) | 14:03 |
| Chipzzz | Bubo: then you probably don't have one... check your running processes in system monitor and sort them by cpu%... see what maxes out the cpu & you'll have your solution | 14:04 |
| Halexander9000 | Gentoo64: Are you sure it's not going to mess up my settings? Like wireless password, or my minecraft game? | 14:04 |
| Gentoo64 | Halexander9000, what do you mean? | 14:04 |
| Bubo | ok let me try downloading a torrent and see what maxes it out | 14:04 |
| Bubo | sec | 14:04 |
| Gentoo64 | youll be installing from scratch | 14:04 |
| Gentoo64 | with a cd | 14:04 |
| Halexander9000 | Gentoo64: I don't want to change my operating system, I just want to change the interface. | 14:05 |
| Gentoo64 | Halexander9000, ah ok | 14:05 |
| Gentoo64 | Halexander9000, you dont need to download the cd then | 14:05 |
| Halexander9000 | Gentoo64: Is that possible? | 14:05 |
| bazhang | Halexander9000, and you have ubuntu on there now? | 14:05 |
| Gentoo64 | !lxde | 14:05 |
| Gentoo64 | !lubuntu | 14:05 |
| ubottu | 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. | 14:05 |
| Gentoo64 | ugh | 14:05 |
| Halexander9000 | bazhang: Yes, I have Ubuntu 11 something-something. | 14:05 |
| Gentoo64 | idk what the package is | 14:05 |

| Halexander9000 | bazhang: Are you positive it's not going to erase my drive? | 14:06 |
| Bubo | also, my speed (network in system monitor) goes from 120 to 5, then 500 then 5.. | 14:06 |
| Gentoo64 | Halexander9000, ok install lubuntu-desktop then you should be able to choose lxde at login screen forma dropdown box | 14:06 |
| Gentoo64 | Halexander9000, it wont erase anything at all | 14:06 |
| Halexander9000 | Alright then. Here I go. | 14:06 |
| bazhang | Halexander9000, of course I'm positive | 14:06 |

| Chipzzz | Bubo: i've never used wubi, so I don't know how it formats the drives... which reminds me... how big is your swap drive, any idea? | 14:10 |
| Bubo | swap: 256MB in resources tab in system monitor | 14:10 |
| Bubo | you were asking about that one ? | 14:10 |
| Chipzzz | Bubo: that sounds like your problem | 14:11 |
| Bubo | is it too little? | 14:12 |
| Chipzzz | Bubo: your swap drive should be at least as big as your RAM and preferably twice its size | 14:12 |
| Bubo | so how can i change it? | 14:12 |
| Bubo | i have 4GB of ram | 14:12 |

| bazhang | lucidmadman, try #vbox | 14:13 |
| bazhang | Bubo, you have a wubi install, correct? | 14:13 |
| Bubo | Yes a wubi install | 14:13 |
| Bubo | 500GB is my hdd | 14:13 |
| Bubo | but wubi partition is 33 if i remebmer | 14:13 |
| Bubo | or 34 | 14:13 |
| bazhang | Bubo, and how much space did you give for it | 14:13 |
| Halexander9000 | Lubuntu doesn't show up in the Software Center... | 14:13 |
| Bubo | the maximum i could through wubi | 14:14 |
| bazhang | Halexander9000, what version of ubuntu are you on? try apt-cache search lubuntu from the terminal | 14:14 |
| Chipzzz | lucidmadman: "sudo nano /etc/default/virtualbox" and then enter the info shown on the page your linked | 14:14 |
| Halexander9000 | bazhang: What's the terminal command to check my version? | 14:15 |

| Bubo | All my 4 CPUs go above 40% when i play a hd youtube video.. sometimes it freezes sometimes doesnt.. | 14:16 |
| Chipzzz | Bubo: I think you're going to have to reinstall & allocate a bigger swap disk during the install | 14:16 |
| Bubo | Oh | 14:16 |
| bazhang | Chipzzz, he's on a wubi install | 14:16 |
| Bubo | how can I keep all my settings and stuff? | 14:16 |
| Halexander9000 | Ubuntu 11.10 | 14:16 |
| Dr_willis | ive seen guides on converting a wubi install to a normal install. | 14:16 |
| Bubo | Should I do a clean install ? without wubi ? | 14:16 |
| bazhang | Halexander9000, and apt-cache search lubuntu from a terminal reveals what? | 14:17 |
| Halexander9000 | bazhang: I found this "lubuntu-desktop - Lubuntu Desktop environment" | 14:17 |
| bazhang | Halexander9000, yes that is it | 14:17 |
| Chipzzz | Bubo: i've never used wubi so i don't know how to advise you about that | 14:17 |

| bazhang | Bubo, wubi again? or a full dual boot | 14:18 |
| dsnyders | Where does ubuntu keep its network config files? | 14:18 |
| Dr_willis | Bubo: make a bigger swap partition | 14:19 |
| bazhang | Bubo, you can resize your current wubi, or go for a side by side dual boot | 14:19 |
| Dr_willis | Bubo: you can always make a swap file. | 14:19 |

| Halexander9000 | Why is it downloading stuff like Abiword? | 14:20 |
| BUbo_ | bazhang: sorry my system crashed. I put a download on a video, it was going with 1.7MB/s speed and it crashed.. :| | 14:20 |
| BUbo_ | first freezes for 1-2min and after it it crashed | 14:21 |
| BUbo_ | I want to do a full dual boot if you can help me do it | 14:21 |
| Ho^Oh | Halexander9000: Abiword is a default app in the LXDE version of Ubuntu. | 14:21 |
| Halexander9000 | I'ma install OpenOffice anyhow. | 14:21 |
| Ho^Oh | Halexander9000: So it's going to give you quite a few of these LXDE lightapp alternatives. | 14:21 |
| crizzy | anyone here familiar with configuring open ati drivers? | 14:21 |
| bazhang | Halexander9000, libreoffice nowadays | 14:22 |
| Halexander9000 | *shrug* | 14:22 |
| crizzy | or, X in general.. to set custom monitor hz | 14:22 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: you'll probably have to resize your win7 installation | 14:22 |
| Dr_willis | !xorg | 14:22 |
| ubottu | The X Window system is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart X, type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' on an ubuntu system. replace with kdm on Kubuntu. To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . Also see !xorgconf | 14:22 |
| Ho^Oh | Halexander9000: It's pretty much the same thing though. | 14:22 |
| BUbo_ | I dont mind | 14:22 |
| eigar | How do I disable sound effects in Ubuntu 11 ? I have purged pulseaudio. Muting in "System Settings" > "Sound" -> "Sound Effects" has no effect. | 14:22 |
| BUbo_ | ill make 250GB ubuntu and 250GB win7 | 14:22 |
| BUbo_ | i dont use windows, rarely for games :D | 14:22 |
| Ho^Oh | Lately, Oracle is getting hated on for licences and what not. | 14:22 |

| Ho^Oh | You see what happened to Java. | 14:22 |
| Halexander9000 | Ho^Oh: Potaito, Potato. | 14:22 |
| Dr_willis | BUbo_: depending on your Hard drive layout. you may want to set up several parttions | 14:23 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: i like it much better too... don't even waste the disk space for a dual-boot ;-) | 14:23 |
| BUbo_ | Dr_willis: several partitions? what for ? | 14:23 |
| Ho^Oh | BUbo_: Duelbooting? | 14:24 |
| Dr_willis | BUbo_: / for /home and swap = are commonly used. | 14:24 |
| crizzy | thanks. watching 60hz vomit on 120hz lcd was horrible | 14:24 |
| crizzy | :-) | 14:24 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: plus the win7 partition | 14:24 |
| BUbo_ | for /home ill put ~200GB and for swap how much ? | 14:24 |
| Dr_willis | swap depends on your needs. and if you want to use hibernate/suspend. | 14:24 |
| BUbo_ | isnt the swap partition default with the ubuntu installation? or you have to set it up yourself ? | 14:24 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! I somehow managed to delete my eth0. It is not in the list in System>Preferences>Network, and when I try to add it there, it says that the device is not managed. Where are the config files? | 14:24 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: 8 gig or better | 14:24 |
| Dr_willis | it makes one by default. You can tweak its size. | 14:25 |
| Halexander9000 | HOLLY FRAGGIN' HECK... what just happened? I pressed alt-tab out of habit and the whole screen went blank. | 14:25 |
| BUbo_ | Oh | 14:25 |
| Ho^Oh | BUbo_: It's default. You can set it up without it too. | 14:25 |
| BUbo_ | so ill make it 8 GB | 14:25 |
| BUbo_ | it should be fine i guess | 14:25 |
| === BlackHawker is now known as WhiteEye | ||
| Ho^Oh | BUbo_: 8GBs for swap? Or for Ubuntu itself? | 14:25 |
| BUbo_ | swap | 14:25 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: swap | 14:26 |
| Ho^Oh | That depends on how much ram you have. | 14:26 |
| BUbo_ | so, first backup everything to external hdd, format whoel drive, isntall ubuntu 11.10, install win7, install drivers, apps, updates, etc.. long long day :| | 14:26 |
| BUbo_ | 4GB | 14:26 |
| Ho^Oh | Okay, 8GBs is fine. | 14:26 |
| BUbo_ | Is there a way to backup setting or files for ubuntu ? | 14:26 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: you have to install win7 before ubuntu or win7 will mess up grub | 14:26 |
| Dr_willis | BUbo_: your users home dir - has all your user settings. | 14:26 |
| Halexander9000 | Alright guys, it Configuring LXDM It's asking me to choose the Default Display Manager: lightdm or lxdm? | 14:26 |
| Ho^Oh | Copy hidden files in: /home/bubo/ | 14:27 |
| Halexander9000 | in* | 14:27 |
| BUbo_ | Yes i know that Chipzzz, i made that mistake once.. | 14:27 |
| Ho^Oh | Hidden files and directories. | 14:27 |
| ikonia | mode +q bullgard*!*@* | 14:27 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: :-) | 14:27 |
| BUbo_ | So I can copy and paste the /home dir ? that will overwrite all the setting with these that i am using atm, and will it install apps? or i have to install them again from start ? | 14:27 |
| Halexander9000 | bazhang: Which one do I choose? | 14:27 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: yes, but make sure you copy all the hidden files and directories | 14:28 |
| Dr_willis | BUbo_: installed apps are NOT normally in your home. | 14:28 |
| Dr_willis | unless you installed them there. | 14:28 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: but you have to install the apps again | 14:28 |
| BUbo_ | so ill install first the apps then paste the settings? | 14:28 |
| s0u][ight_ | hello, is there a tool to set a maximum download amount on a given network interface? | 14:28 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: yes | 14:28 |
| Dr_willis | order shouldent matter much. | 14:29 |
| Halexander9000 | Hello? | 14:29 |
| Ho^Oh | BUbo_: Actually, this is possible: Copying the entire /home/yourname And on fresh Ubuntu install, only put back what you need. (Or just drop the entire folder back in there). | 14:29 |
| Dr_willis | You could copy all your settings from home to your ubuntu one account for cloud backup. :) | 14:29 |
| Halexander9000 | In Configuring LXDM It's asking me to choose the Default Display Manager: lightdm or lxdm? | 14:29 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: Dr_willis is correct that the order won't matter in that regard | 14:29 |
| BUbo_ | Ok then | 14:29 |
| rakshasa | Can anyone help me i'm migrating to a new system and have to backup my programs and configuration and user specific data. How do I go about. I heard that I just need to backup my /user /home en /etc , am i forgetting something here? | 14:29 |
| BUbo_ | ubunutu one account ? how much space do i get there ? | 14:29 |

| BUbo_ | Ok, downloading ubunbu 11.10 | 14:31 |
| BUbo_ | any other stuff that I need to know ? | 14:31 |

| OerHeks | Ho^Oh, not true, and next 12.04 will be 64 bit recommended. | 14:32 |
| Ho^Oh | Aethelrick: That too. | 14:32 |
| BUbo_ | so there is a chance some of my hardware wont be supported by the 64bit ? | 14:32 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: run a live cd before you commit to an install and you'll find out | 14:33 |
| Aethelrick | If your system is fully supported in 64bit mode and you have 4gb ram or more then it's worth going 64. | 14:33 |

| BUbo_ | Oh, then how do I install wodim? from software center? | 14:49 |
| Chipzzz | BUbo_: "sudo apt-get install wodim" | 14:50 |
| Dr_willis | wodim is a command line cd burning tool withother features. Most of the burning gui apps use it as a background. | 14:50 |

| overclucker | dsnyders: is should be the right one for your ubuntu version | 14:52 |
| BUbo_ | ty | 14:52 |
| Dr_willis | Nach0z: its moved away from the sysv system, so runlevels are not really needed any more. check the upstart docs. | 14:52 |
| Dr_willis | !runlevel | 14:52 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 14:52 |

| WhiteEye | FR332B3M3: are u able to boot at all? | 14:57 |
| dsnyders | overclucker, There's not much in that file. Under [main] there's a line about plugins, and a line that reads no-auto-default=00:18:fe:6a:3a:a9,. Under [ifupdown] is the line: managed=false and that's it. | 14:58 |

| BUbo_ | I cant even delete the partition | 15:33 |
| BUbo_ | Yeah i guess its fried.. | 15:33 |

| BUbo_ | ill just get a new one.. 10euro 8GB, :D | 15:33 |
| BUbo_ | how ? | 15:33 |

| joakimk | I've got a Java project in Eclipse (under Ubuntu 11), which uses a library RXTXcomm (rxtx.qbang.org/). On my new (64 bit) computer, I've checked out my project via Subclipse but Eclipse refuses to build, saying "Archive for required library: 'lib/Linux/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/librxtxSerial.so' in project 'MyProject' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file" | 15:41 |
| testt | i see thanks | 15:41 |
| joakimk | I seem to recall being helped when I set this up on my previous computer (also linux), that the so files were copied to some "java location" in the OS? Or that we had to set/update some Java environment variable? | 15:42 |
| boywonda1 | hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu inside windows but when i select ubuntu from the boot menu i get a message that the 'ISO ubuntu/install/installation.iso' cannot be found...help. | 15:42 |
| MonkeyDust | boywonda1 what do you mean by ubuntu inside windows, wubi? | 15:43 |
| boywonda1 | yes..wubi | 15:43 |
| joakimk | I've tried configuring the Build Path of MyProject, looking under the Libaries pane, to check that the path to the so files are correct... Btw, the binaries (from rxtx.qbang.org) are within my project, in the workspace | 15:43 |
| holstein | boywonda1: other than suggesting *not* using wubi, just make sure you are either pointing to an iso you have downloaded, or you are letting wubi download it for you | 15:43 |
| MonkeyDust | wubi :( | 15:44 |
| holstein | joakimk: i would start with the error message... locate and look at librxtxSerial.so.. should it be a zip? is it in the correct place? | 15:44 |
| Halexander9000 | I closed the terminal and the task bar dissapeared. Now I can't log off overclucker | 15:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Halexander9000 try ctrl-alt-backspace | 15:45 |
| Halexander9000 | Nothing. | 15:45 |
| overclucker | Halexander9000: start it again, and log out without closing the terminal | 15:45 |
| holstein | Halexander9000: you can always hit alt+F2 and type what you like | 15:45 |
| boywonda1 | okay,thank you..will try again... | 15:45 |
| Chipzzz | joakimk: it's more an eclipse question but it sounds like you have to include it among the project's libraries | 15:45 |
| Halexander9000 | holstein: That doesn't do anything either. | 15:45 |
| Halexander9000 | overclucker: What was the command again? | 15:46 |
| overclucker | Halexander9000: lxpanel | 15:46 |
| joakimk | holstein: Chipzzz: But the so files are listed in the Libraries pane, under MyProject > Configure Build Path. | 15:46 |
| joakimk | I don't see why Eclipse mentions ZIP files, though. These are .so files... | 15:46 |
| Halexander9000 | It says that the logout command isn't set. | 15:47 |
| overclucker | Halexander9000: you couldd also sudo service lightdm restart if you are using lightdm | 15:47 |
| holstein | joakimk: im not going to be much help with eclipse.. im just trying to help interpret the error message | 15:47 |
| joakimk | holstein: sure :) But, is it "easier" to "install" the so files in the OS (i.e. copy them to where Java lives)? | 15:47 |
| joakimk | if that makes sense at all | 15:48 |
| holstein | joakimk: i would say "easier" is whatever works | 15:48 |
| === dan__ is now known as Guest32433 | ||
| Chipzzz | joakimk: "/join #eclipse" | 15:48 |
| overclucker | Halexander9000: starting lxpanel with lxpanel --profile LXDE might selp, i suppose | 15:48 |
| Halexander9000 | Overclucker : Does this have anything to do with the fact that I chose lxde and not lightdm when I installed Lubuntu? | 15:48 |
| joakimk | Chipzzz: allright... THough, working with the so files (or env variables) outside Eclipse would be valid for this channel, no? | 15:49 |
| Halexander9000 | Erm... the lubuntu desktop pack I mean. I still think I'm running UBUNTU right now. | 15:49 |
| overclucker | Halexander9000: not sure how you installed lxde, actually | 15:49 |
| overclucker | Halexander9000: if not lightdm probably lxdm | 15:50 |
| Chipzzz | joakimk: you may be right but i don't think anyone here knows the answer... someone in #eclipse might :-) | 15:50 |
| ramzi_ | :) | 15:50 |
| Halexander9000 | Some guy here told me to sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop. I did so. I can check the archives to tell you who is was. | 15:50 |
| joakimk | Chipzzz: OK. Thanks tho | 15:50 |
| rhorstkoetter | hi. with the oneiric+X hybrid iso dumped to USB, how do I configure a persistent casper-rw partition to be actually used | 15:50 |
| rhorstkoetter | ? | 15:50 |
| elijah | Since Kubuntu is not supported anymore I want to try Ubuntu, if I install over Kubuntu should my home folder be preserved? | 15:50 |
| Halexander9000 | When I did so, there was this menu thing in terminal that showed up, and I had to choose between two Desktop Managers, either lxde or lightdm | 15:51 |
| elijah | I will back up anyways but last time I reins.talled Kubuntu my home folder was preserved, which is pretty amazing, just wondering if Ubuntu installs the same way | 15:51 |
| Halexander9000 | I asked what to choose and no one answered, so I went with lxdm. | 15:51 |
| AlanBell | elijah: kubuntu is still supported, but you can do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop if you want to add all the ubuntu stuff to your existing install | 15:51 |
| rhorstkoetter | usually you'd use f32 + ext2/3/4 casper-rw labeled partition, but with hybrid iso dumped to usb this 2nd partition is obviously ignored by the system | 15:51 |
| overclucker | Halexander9000: then sudo service lxdm restart | 15:52 |
| AlanBell | elijah: and yes, you can do a new install whilst preserving home with Ubuntu too | 15:52 |
| MonkeyDust | rhorstkoetter what is hybrid iso exactly? | 15:52 |
| elijah | AlanBell: I just want to do a fresh install, I boinked a Kubuntu upgrade a while ago when the installer froze mid way through (3 hours it froze) and I had to do a hard power cycle to use the computer again. | 15:52 |
| elijah | AlanBell: Thanks! | 15:53 |
| rhorstkoetter | MonkeyDust: all ubuntu CDs x86/x86_64 since oneiric are actually hybrid iso | 15:53 |
| rhorstkoetter | MonkeyDust: i.e. you just dd them to usb and that's it, thus hybrid | 15:53 |
| Erealz | what is it called when ones wifi connectivity fluctuates? is it my wireless card? | 15:53 |
| rhorstkoetter | no workaround solution with syslinux required anymore | 15:53 |
| Roasted_ | Question - I want 3 monitors. I have 2 right now off of my Nvidia card. If I add a 3rd, can I add an Intel or ATI card, or is that just bad news? | 15:53 |
| elijah | AlanBell: Do you feel 12.04 alpha 2 is stable enough? | 15:54 |
| xangua | !pangolin | elijah | 15:54 |

| Halexander9000 | Apparently, the problem lay in the fact that I haven't chosen a desktop manager at log on. | 15:54 |

| gdea73 | Hi, I'm in the process of setting up Apache 2 on my Ubuntu server (running desktop edition), and I was looking for help regarding file permissions... | 16:22 |
| sidb | i did that | 16:22 |
| sidb | infact i have it installed | 16:22 |
| gdea73 | If I grant execute access to "all" on a script, does that mean that people can remotely run the script on the server-side? | 16:23 |

| vjacob | also, when I google search I don't seem to find a straight answer | 16:24 |
| raido_ | oh, okay | 16:24 |
| escott | gdea73, there is no such thing as "remotely executing" a script. you shell in and then execute or ask a service on the server to execute that command. so yes and no | 16:24 |
| guy_ | does ubuntu has any sort facility for fetching 32bit libraries on 64bit machine ? | 16:24 |
| gdea73 | okay thanks escott, so if I don't have ssh enabled on the server, execute access doesn't affect people who browse the site? | 16:24 |
| holstein | kaiowas: sudo allows you to act as root... you can add that line to your sources... that PPA is not supported here though... personally, i suggested "getting your feet wet" then adding that PPA at some point | 16:25 |

| sidb | So shall i assume you guys do not have answer to my querry? | 16:28 |
| guy_ | MonkeyDust, a c library, actually. | 16:28 |
| escott | gdea73, apache has its own way of deciding what to execute which depends on what modules are installed and how apache is configured. One configuration might have apache serve a raw php file, another it might get interpreted. so i can't comment on what your apache would do | 16:29 |
| holstein | kaiowas: as long as you are comfortable with that :) ... gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list will allow you to edit that file | 16:29 |
| gdea73 | hm, that's kind of confusing. So I guess I'll mark all files 644 for now, and if I get errors when executing something, give Apache execute access? | 16:29 |
| escott | MonkeyDust, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec | 16:29 |

| m000gle | Hello. I'm looking for some help migrating to Ubuntu, specifically regarding using either Banshee 2.2.1 or gPodder 2.20 to download/manage podcasts. I have been able to import my feeds' URL's without any issue, but have, as of yet, been unable to find a way to import files which had been previously downloaded using Windows/iTunes. | 16:39 |
| overclucker | sheepsy: did you apt-get update/ | 16:39 |
| sheepsy | Yar. | 16:39 |
| m000gle | The podcast files have all been moved to ~/home/Podcasts/ but neither gPodder or Banshee appear to have an option to manually add these episodes and mark them as downloaded. I would simply re-download them all, but I have ~200 episodes totaling nearly 20GB, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Thanks :) | 16:39 |
| arand | sheepsy: It should be there, have you run "apt-get update"? | 16:39 |

| sheepsy | I am on lucid but this package is for natty. | 16:40 |
| sheepsy | But I do think that should be OK for this package in terms of dependencies... | 16:40 |

| acicula | Ho^Oh: there is an install you can do via ssh, but is tricky | 17:03 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, you have to have an x server installed and running on the server. if you dont need the full desktop gui consider starting individual programs over ssh -X | 17:03 |

| kaiowas | holstein: true, easiest way to find out :) | 17:17 |
| vjacob | how do I find out the name of the module to load, if I know that the .config has a kernel option as a module? | 17:17 |
| liquidee | arunkumar413 try TeX :p | 17:17 |
| monohedron | why is that not working ? echo "xbaum ybaum zbaum"|grep --exclude="ybaum" baum | 17:17 |
| holstein | medeman: i would try and get to the live desktop and furn a few commands... sudo fdisk -l for example | 17:17 |
| vjacob | for example CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI_IBM=m... how do I determine the name of the module to load? | 17:17 |
| arunkumar413 | liquidee: is it gui or command line | 17:17 |
| fidel | arunkumar413: tex could be a nice aproach | 17:17 |
| liquidee | arunkumar413 you have some editors, but basically its not like word or libre office writer | 17:18 |
| vjacob | arunkumar413, LaTeX | 17:18 |
| Czu | Can someone tell be if there is a way to reset Ubuntu back to it's original state when I first installed it? | 17:18 |
| scarleo | arunkumar413, try Celtx, best for writing books | 17:18 |
| medeman | Yea I did that already holstein. it only detects the other hard drive i have installed | 17:18 |
| kaiowas | Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu on a Mac Mini? Is it possible? I know Macbook Air is really hard to install on if you dont want to run parallels. | 17:18 |
| scarleo | arunkumar413, http://celtx.com/ | 17:18 |
| arunkumar413 | liquidee and fidel, i'm not writing an print book. i'm writing an e-book | 17:18 |
| urlin2u | Czu, the desktop or all installs can you be more specific. | 17:18 |
| medeman | kaiowas: i had it installed on a macbook pro 2010 13", it was pretty easy | 17:18 |
| escott | medeman, check cat /proc/partitions is the device seen | 17:18 |
| holstein | medeman: then i would load *any* live CD, or diagnostic disks and try and see it | 17:19 |
| kyubutsu | yay! clipit integrates well with Unity | 17:19 |
| medeman | holstein: it didnt work with opensuse 12.1 either | 17:19 |
| holstein | kaiowas: i would just try it live... | 17:19 |
| kaiowas | medeman: yes on the macbook pro it is. But Macbook Air has a special EFI that doesnt allow you too.. was thinking that maybe Mac Mini has the same. | 17:19 |
| Czu | All installs I guess? I'm having a bunch of problem with updating certain stuff. Plus I would just be happier if I could just get Ubuntu back to it's original state. | 17:19 |
| holstein | medeman: OK.. then i would maybe start to think it could be a hardware issue | 17:19 |
| medeman | kaiowas: well i think the 2011 mba has the same efi as the mac mini 2011 | 17:20 |
| kaiowas | bummer.. | 17:20 |
| medeman | holstein: its detected under windows xp | 17:20 |
| urlin2u | Czu, all installs no I know of no OS that does that myself, als please use nics tab completing them is easiest. | 17:20 |
| liquidee | arunkumar413 tex should be good for you, a lots of people use it for pdf's on my university. It basically takes care of formatting for you | 17:20 |
| urlin2u | also | 17:20 |
| scarleo | arunkumar413, and then Scribus for layout | 17:20 |
| holstein | medeman: detected, or functional?.. test it there, and then you can go forward trying different kernels for support... like a 10.04 live CD | 17:21 |
| liquidee | arunkumar413 documents made with it look really nice | 17:21 |
| arunkumar413 | liquidee: does it create an html document also | 17:21 |
| Czu | Well all I'm trying to do is just get rid of all the third party software that I installed (All the themes and other GUI modifications.) | 17:22 |
| urlin2u | Czu, easiest way I would know to have a original install is a clone, otherwise you have to know what you have done. | 17:22 |
| medeman | holstein: its fully working there. i already tried opensuse 12.1, ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 and mandriva | 17:22 |
| Czu | *grumble grumble grumble* | 17:22 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: So far I have two identical harddrives with two identical partition, but don't know how to make it a raid0. | 17:22 |

| erpo | I'm running 11.10 AMD64. When I hold down my middle mouse button over an application and move my mouse around, the cursor stays locked in position on the screen and the application responds as if it is receiving mouse wheel events (i.e. I see scrolling). This happens at least in the gimp, firefox, and xchat. How do I restore the default behavior? | 17:23 |
| medeman | holstein: its an IDE drive connected to secondary slave | 17:23 |
| liquidee | I am looking for some tips on power saving on ubuntu. Or help on determining whether bumblebee and graphics drivers are installed correctly | 17:23 |
| holstein | medeman: OK... and *everything* else plugged via that socket works fine? | 17:23 |
| elijah | I a trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 over Kubuntu 11.10, I chose option to keep my home files etc. It is hanging on "removing conflicting operating system files". Any ideas? | 17:23 |
| urlin2u | erpo, default where and what OS? | 17:23 |
| medeman | escott: no its not seen there | 17:24 |
| holstein | medeman: what you are saying is, you have a simple device that is not showing up in linux, but works fine in windows... i would double check with a gparted live CD | 17:24 |
| theadmin | elijah: You don't have to reinstall in order to install Ubuntu instead of Kubuntu honestly | 17:24 |
| medeman | holstein: yea, all other IDE devices work | 17:24 |
| erpo | urlin2u: The clearly correct behavior of passing middle mouse down/up events directly to the application instead of using the middle mouse down event to evilly convert cursor movement into scroll wheel events. The default behavior of every OS I've ever used including Windows and every other flavor of Linux at any time in history. | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | elijah: just install unity and you will get the gnome desktop... | 17:25 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: That's not exactly right... You might get Unity on top of KDE, heh | 17:25 |
| kyubutsu | o.0 | 17:25 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Well, if you run it like that xD | 17:25 |
| kyubutsu | Unity is not gnome | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: hehe, why not eh ;) | 17:25 |
| theadmin | kyubutsu: Unity uses Gnome... everything xD | 17:25 |
| theadmin | kyubutsu: Except replaces gnome-shell | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | kyubutsu: yes but it will install the gnome stuff as deps | 17:26 |
| kyubutsu | not entirely, that is.. interface | 17:26 |
| kyubutsu | right | 17:26 |
| urlin2u | erpo, hehe I don't understand a bit of the highly charged statement, good luck . | 17:26 |
| killer | can anyone tell me how to partition my hard disk | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: use gparted | 17:26 |
| medeman | holstein: would it help if i'd post some hardware specs? | 17:26 |
| kyubutsu | but installing unity doesnt get you the gnome-shell is what am trying to get at | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | kyubutsu: then install gnome-shell package... | 17:26 |
| theadmin | kyubutsu: Well duh, you need gnome-shell for that xD | 17:26 |
| erpo | urlin2u: Do you use the gimp? | 17:27 |
| urlin2u | erpo, I have yes | 17:27 |
| kaiowas | Thank you everyone for all your help, now its time to go out and socialise... by playing racing simulators and drinking beer :p. | 17:27 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: (s)he was correcting your "install Unity and get you will get gnome" statement | 17:27 |
| erpo | urlin2u: Open up an image and hold down the space bar while moving the mouse, but without pressing any mouse buttons. | 17:27 |
| holstein | medeman: shouldnt matter. it should just be showing up there correct?.. i would try an actual gparted live CD.. if you dont see it there, then i would try searching the *exact* hard drive...though ive never seen one that wasnt just auto-magically supported | 17:27 |
| erpo | urlin2u: The middle mouse button should be acting like the space bar in this situation. | 17:27 |
| killer | ActionParsnip :but when i try to do so .........the resize option is not highlighted | 17:27 |
| urlin2u | erpo, try thr alt button | 17:27 |
| urlin2u | te | 17:27 |
| urlin2u | erpo, alt and left button moves my windows | 17:28 |
| elijah | ActionParsni & theadmin: My Kubuntu is messed up right now so I wanted to do a reinstall | 17:28 |
| oscar76 | killer: you can not resize an active partition | 17:28 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, hmmm missed the raid0 bit. that makes it harder. I would start by creating a mdadm jbod array with one of the disks and then try to grow it while changing the layout to raid1 | 17:28 |
| erpo | urlin2u: No, that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the "pan around the document" function. | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: well you will | 17:28 |
| killer | oscar76:so what should i do | 17:29 |
| urlin2u | erpo, I really help you here. | 17:29 |
| medeman | holstein: Slitaz 3.0 detects the hard drive automatically... | 17:29 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Yeah... except the shell lol | 17:29 |
| urlin2u | erpo, sorry I can't really help you here. | 17:29 |

| cloudgeek | working on my VM | 17:29 |
| holstein | medeman: cool... you can try formatting it there, but i would make a note of the kernel, and see something is there that is providing suport that is not in *all* the other kernels you have tried | 17:30 |
| killer | i am trying to partition the home partition :oscar76 | 17:30 |
| pnorman | Ho^Oh: I have the commands written down for creating a RAID0 from two drives somewhere ifyou want me to check | 17:30 |
| cloudgeek | i also check my NAT seeting any body can help[ | 17:30 |
| cloudgeek | i am using virtualbox and ubuntu | 17:30 |
| erpo | urlin2u: That's ok. Thanks for the help. :) | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: what OS / File system is currently installed | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | cloudgeek: so you don't get web access in yourVM? | 17:31 |
| killer | ext4 | 17:31 |
| killer | ActionParsnip ext4 | 17:31 |
| cloudgeek | ActionParsnip: i need to update my ubuntu in VM | 17:31 |
| ActionParsnip | cloudgeek: can you please keep questions on one line, it makes things a LOT easier.... | 17:31 |
| kyubutsu | ActionParsnip: i think it is fair to be specific between gnome and its shells, when one says gnome i think legacy gnome interface, gnome-shell as gnome3, and unity as unity. you get legacy gnome as fallback only when you install gnome-shell(gnome3) | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | cloudgeek: set the network to be bridged and it will appear on your LAN, you can then get connected via DHCP, just like your physical systems | 17:32 |
| medeman | holstein: what partition table should i use? msdos, aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, pc98, sun or loop? | 17:32 |
| cloudgeek | ActionParsnip: I am using ubuntu server as my host , in that i run virtualbox inside that i run ubuntu ,now my internet is not working ,how i can fix this | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | kyubutsu: gnome is gnome and gnome-shell is gnome-shell, its very difference | 17:33 |
| * kyubutsu facepalms | 17:33 | |
| ActionParsnip | cloudgeek: set the networking in the virtualbox to bridged. I already said this | 17:33 |
| theadmin | kyubutsu: You get gnome-fallback when you install gnome-fallback, you don't have to install the shell for that | 17:33 |
| holstein | medeman: you can refercence something like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1457901 ... i wouldnt expect this to "fix" it necessarily though.. if it were me, id probably just try and format as gerneically as possible | 17:33 |
| cloudgeek | ActionParsnip: okay | 17:33 |
| kyubutsu | theadmin: besides my point | 17:34 |
| escott | medeman, gpt for an efi system | 17:34 |
| cloudgeek | ActionParsnip: what about promiscous mode | 17:34 |
| cloudgeek | ActionParsnip: need to deny that or allow | 17:34 |
| theadmin | kyubutsu: Well, ActionParsnip is right -- gnome is always gnome, no matter what sits on top of it, be it Unity, Gnome-Shell, Pantheon or the Gnome-Panel | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | cloudgeek: not sure what that is. I'd ask in #vbox | 17:35 |
| medeman | escott: so gpt if i plan to install ubuntu to that hard drive? | 17:35 |
| Ho^Oh | pnorman: Okay, send em over to me. I found a really good guide http://www.israelremixteam.com/how-to-set-up-a-software-mdadm-raid-0-array-in-linux-t612.html | 17:35 |
| holstein | medeman: that linke i gave suggests that GPT or msdos should work fine | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | kyubutsu: you are mixing whatthings are with your 'understanding' of what things are instead of what they actually are. If youo stick to what things actually are, then you will be able to communicate easier with others | 17:35 |
| kyubutsu | so am i, i made my point as clear as possible, if you fail to parse my line, its over. EOF | 17:35 |
| medeman | holstein: yea i just saw it. | 17:36 |

| === aaron is now known as Guest45859 | ||
| cloudgeek | ActionParsnip: okay i am try to deny that | 17:37 |

| Android666 | yes look thats the youtube link to get ubuntu on phone and it really works | 17:40 |

| theadmin | Random832: Ah, thank you. | 17:51 |
| Random832 | actually, none of them seem to work with the "official" method | 17:52 |
| theadmin | Makes no sense -_- Implement an attr and make no way of using it huh | 17:52 |
| Random832 | though, that attribute might just be a "make it more likely to work" kind of thing | 17:52 |
| _raven | theadmin no i importet the files from there but its all reset | 17:53 |
| Random832 | http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ext2fs-Undeletion-2.html | 17:53 |
| Random832 | The ext2fs also provides the `undeletable' attribute (+u in chattr). The intention is that if a file with that attribute is deleted, instead of actually being reused, it is merely moved to a `safe location' for deletion at a later date. Unfortunately this feature has not yet been implemented in mainstream kernels; and though in the past there has been some interest in implementing it, it is not (to my knowledge) available for any current kernels. | 17:53 |

| Random832 | so... the attribute doesn't actually do anythnig, it's just reserved for future implementations | 17:54 |
| theadmin | Random832: I see... The manpage states it as if it's only unimplemented for ext2/ext3. Guess it was written in pre-ext4 ages :D | 17:54 |
| Random832 | well | 17:54 |
| Random832 | the _attribute_ existing doesn't mean the functionality behind it exists | 17:54 |

| warfaren | LinuxDude256: have you tried running it in wine? | 18:41 |
| acicula | LinuxDude256: i dont but im confident it will work just fine | 18:42 |
| acicula | given how popular it is | 18:42 |
| acicula | think it has a good rating on winehq.com as well | 18:42 |

| mahesh | can anyone help with irc clients that work behind proxy | 18:43 |
| urlin2u | mahesh, like TOR | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | mahesh: perhaps give the channel more details.. | 18:43 |
| mahesh | DR_Willis i didn't get u | 18:44 |
| mahesh | how do i get tor? | 18:44 |
| Dr_willis | mahesh: you just asked a very broad question. | 18:44 |
| mahesh | u mean the tor browser? | 18:44 |
| Dr_willis | !tor | 18:44 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 18:44 |
| mahesh | thanks! | 18:44 |
| Dr_willis | Tor is an anominity proxy type tool. | 18:44 |
| Fjorgynn | theadmin: dhcpcd is not installed | 18:45 |
| Dr_willis | you really dont need it for IRC. | 18:45 |
| theadmin | Fjorgynn: Ah, wells, you can use dhclient (likely) | 18:45 |
| acicula | the tor website has a good writeup on how to use it properly | 18:45 |
| urlin2u | mahesh, if you want to use tor on the irc there are instructions on the web | 18:45 |
| urlin2u | I guess the bot knows as well | 18:46 |
| mahesh | there is no tor package for oneiric | 18:46 |
| Fjorgynn | nope | 18:47 |
| acicula | mahesh: you can use the package from the tor website | 18:47 |
| acicula | or rather you should use that one | 18:47 |
| Dr_willis | If you want to be anonymous here on Freenode you can just get a 'cloak' | 18:48 |
| Dr_willis | !cloak | 18:48 |
| ubottu | To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode. | 18:48 |
| urlin2u | mahesh, there afaults in the tor system I wouldn't personally rely on it for privacy really. | 18:48 |
| urlin2u | are* | 18:48 |
| acicula | though there is a tor package in oneiric i think, i installed the ubuntu version before remembering to switch to the tor site packages | 18:48 |
| Dr_willis | !info tor | 18:48 |
| ubottu | tor (source: tor): anonymizing overlay network for TCP. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1.30-1build2 (oneiric), package size 1064 kB, installed size 2216 kB | 18:48 |
| acicula | urlin2u: there are ways to attack tor yes, but there are plenty of guides on the tor website which explain how you can remain anonymous if you really need to | 18:49 |
| acicula | it wont work for anonymously leaching bittorrent, but websites should be ok | 18:49 |
| mahesh | privacy is not an issue, i just need an irc client that can work behind proxy | 18:49 |
| Dr_willis | most irc clients have proxy settings | 18:49 |
| urlin2u | acicula, to some extent but your are subject to the routing which you cannot control completely, read closely. | 18:49 |
| mahesh | all ports except 80, 21 and 22 are blocked to me | 18:49 |
| acicula | mahesh: even using tor might then be tricky | 18:50 |
| Dr_willis | You need to give some mroe details then as to what you are trying to do. You could always try setting up a ssh tunnel to some other machine | 18:50 |
| acicula | urlin2u: that makes no sense, also you can pick your route through the tor network if you want | 18:50 |
| mahesh | i have a machine i can ssh to. and it can connect through all ports | 18:51 |
| jrk--- | Hello. Will usb-creator-gtk delete any files from my USB stick? | 18:51 |
| urlin2u | acicula, the entrance and exits to the network if done in the same country if not bounced out leave you exposed if I remember correctly. | 18:51 |
| mahesh | but i cant install anything on it | 18:51 |
| Dr_willis | mahesh: you could just shh to the box and run a console based irc client. if thers one installed.. | 18:52 |
| urlin2u | acicula, not together but consecutivlt the exits | 18:52 |
| acicula | urlin2u: i dont see why that would be the case, the whole tor system is designed to prevent you from correlating an input and output of the system | 18:52 |
| urlin2u | consecutively | 18:52 |
| mahesh | Dr_Willis the problem is, theres none installed | 18:52 |
| LinuxDude256 | sound is now working after plugging into the blue port on the back of the computer instead of the standard green jack, I do want to say that I appreciate all of your help. | 18:53 |
| urlin2u | acicula, they say this themslves in the tor info I believe, your also subject to going through servers that could be not safe. | 18:53 |
| acicula | urlin2u: you can try and link consequtive connections by using information from one connection to discover the other syes | 18:53 |
| urlin2u | acicula, my point is like saying linux is not hackable or free of badware is not correct nor is tor a private entity at all times, do you get that. :) | 18:54 |
| CharminTheMoose | What options do I need to disable in the kernel to remove SATA/IDE harddrive support, but keep cdrom support? | 18:54 |
| acicula | urlin2u: again its designed to deal with that, i wont argue it's foolproof, the tor's disclaimer already says that, but attacking it is not trivial | 18:55 |
| casperuntuTR | whenever i login to facebook from any browser on ubuntu it appears "wrong password" why it is so? any idea i use dualbot with win7 and no problem on it | 18:55 |

| Oer | kklimonda, that tool is not suitable to run on windows | 19:04 |

| acicula | urlin2u: eh this is a channel where people come for advice, if you have personal idea's about something that you dont want to discuss, dont post them | 19:04 |
| TomSlominski | Everything was fine before, but I was trying to fix another problem and installed gdm. decided that gdm won't be useful so now I want lightdm back | 19:04 |
| kklimonda | I need a tool that will let me install ubuntu on the usb partition | 19:04 |
| trism | TomSlominski: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm; | 19:04 |
| TomSlominski | dpkg-reconfigure lightdm doesn't work because it returns errors. | 19:04 |
| urlin2u | acicula, lol that is all you have done without saying it is your opinion. | 19:04 |
| acicula | kklimonda: you mean like on a usb stick | 19:04 |
| trism | TomSlominski: what errors? | 19:04 |
| Oer | kklimonda, unetbootin will do | 19:04 |

| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 19:05 |
| urlin2u | acicula, no links for confirmation no empirical evidence. | 19:05 |
| kklimonda | Oer: does it play well with 10.04 images? | 19:05 |
| brkolog | where can set permissions for tftpd? is it in /etc/defaults ? | 19:05 |
| Oer | kklimonda, yes, i used it fine. | 19:05 |
| * amal029 | 19:06 | |
| kklimonda | bah, it's still no good without some hacking.. | 19:06 |
| brkolog | I want to write a file over tftpd but it says no permission | 19:06 |
| urlin2u | acicula, it is channel poicy to say when it is a personal opinion so that the user is not confusd with fud | 19:06 |
| kklimonda | (I need it to add persistent to the /proc/cmdline but not create casper-rw file) | 19:06 |
| kklimonda | oh well, I can probably hack it a bit | 19:06 |
| trism | TomSlominski: actually it shouldn't really matter anyway because all that does it set /etc/X11/default-display-manager (the errors don't stop it from working though) | 19:06 |
| TomSlominski | trism: oh. it's a lightdm problem then :/ | 19:07 |
| TomSlominski | trism: how about i replace that with lightdm-session? | 19:07 |
| Oer | kklimonda, you can use the ubuntu tool in live-cd mode. this gives you the option to make use of the left space as a storage. | 19:08 |
| trism | TomSlominski: lightdm-session? | 19:08 |
| kklimonda | Oer: that's too complicated for my users - I need something that will work from Windows :) | 19:08 |
| TomSlominski | trism: yes. I dir'd /usr/sbin and there's a lightdm-session in there | 19:09 |
| urlin2u | kklimonda, you can make a persistent with a partition as well any size you want, ext2 named casper-rw | 19:09 |
| kklimonda | urlin2u: yes I know, but I have to add persistent to the cmdline for casper to use it | 19:09 |
| trism | TomSlominski: that's not what you want | 19:09 |
| kklimonda | urlin2u: but both unetbootin and usb-creator-gtk don't let me do that unless I also create casper-rw loop file | 19:10 |
| TomSlominski | trism: okay. I'll have a look for errors in /var/log | 19:10 |
| trism | TomSlominski: it is either that upstart is not starting it at boot (because perhaps one of the checks fails) or there is an error when lightdm starts (in which case check out the logs in /var/log/lightdm) | 19:10 |
| t432 | hi, | 19:10 |

| t432 | i can place in him dir but that was it will only be available to current user and not available to mencu | 19:12 |
| urlin2u | kklimonda, you make the iso install with either or any loader then make the partition. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/ | 19:12 |
| t432 | on menu* | 19:12 |

| trism | TomSlominski: alright, it would be interesting to see /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log right after a boot then, without manually starting it | 19:16 |
| TomSlominski | trism: I'll do that then. be right back | 19:16 |
| urlin2u | kklimonda, making linux seems to be plug and pray/play may not be the best approach it is not. | 19:17 |
| graft | MoleMan: what's confusing? | 19:18 |
| Guest50512 | how big should the ubuntu swap partition be if i have 2gb ram? | 19:18 |
| === Guest50512 is now known as medeman | ||
| urlin2u | kklimonda, all the time basically due to drivers...etc not being released for open source | 19:18 |
| zer0-day | [RAW]: usr /bin/ld: note: 'gdk_threads_enter' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgdk-x11-2.0.so so try adding it to the linker command line /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: could not read symbols: Invalid operation | 19:18 |
| zer0-day | how can i add to the linker | 19:18 |
| mongy | medeman, 2gb at least if you require hibernation | 19:19 |
| MoleMan | graft: details on those instructions are vague... things like it says if you intend on moving everything to LVM you need a seperate /boot partition, but has no details of what to put in /if anything needs changing to work with that... etc and as I'm not too confident I would rather be able to ask someone will knowlege on the topic than just be constantly trying and guessing | 19:19 |
| medeman | mongy: k thanks, so ill do...4gb? | 19:20 |
| mongy | medeman, it won't hurt if you have plenty of disk space. | 19:20 |
| kklimonda | urlin2u: well, it's just fine when you know what to use it for (and you have a control over hardware you are using it on) | 19:20 |
| medeman | mongy: okay thank you | 19:20 |
| kklimonda | urlin2u: in this case I know exactly what I have to do so the risk is minimal | 19:21 |
| mongy | !swap | medeman | 19:21 |
| ubottu | medeman: 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 | 19:21 |
| urlin2u | kklimonda, sure but that is not plug and play, you said other users not yourself. | 19:21 |
| escott | MoleMan, with lvm you need a /boot and the initrd needs to be updated to include the lvm drivers | 19:21 |
| mongy | medeman, look at the vm.swappiness section, it can help limit use of swap. | 19:21 |
| medeman | mongy: okay | 19:21 |
| TomSlominski | trism: It fixed itself :P Thanks anyway | 19:22 |

| mernilio | hi all | 19:23 |
| escott | MoleMan, it may already be in the initrd if you are using a server build, but at a high level all you need is the kernel and initrd on a partition that grub can understand like ext2/ext4 and then the lvm drivers need to be in the initrd so the kernel can mount / | 19:23 |
| BrendaRed | so, canonical does not send ubuntu cds anymore? | 19:24 |
| oCean | BrendaRed: correct | 19:24 |
| kklimonda | urlin2u: I think I've lost you somewhere along the way. You can use Linux on a majority of desktops - when it doesn't work it doesn't work but that's different best | 19:24 |
| mongy | BrendaRed, loco teams do | 19:24 |

| medeman | mongy: aah, now i get it. thank you | 19:24 |
| escott | MoleMan, so make the conversion and get grub to load the kernel. if it cant find slash you need to boot a livecd and go into a chroot and make sure the lvm drivers are in the initrd config and update-initramfs | 19:24 |
| oCean | BrendaRed: http://blog.canonical.com/?p=551 | 19:25 |
| Oer | BrendaRed, you can buy them | 19:25 |

| urlin2u | Socket-, you can open it from your chat. | 19:34 |
| ikonia | Socket-: ok, so the issue is not the url, your machine is having a problem | 19:34 |
| escott | DogWater, but if you arent comfortable with the command line and want to have a separate window for your remote system then !vnc is probably more your speed | 19:35 |

| ubottu | Guest77064, please see my private message | 19:35 |
| CDB | held F12 and got a screen that says "phoenix - awardBIOS v6.00PG" at the bottom it sats Press F1 to continue | 19:35 |
| ikonia | CDB: what is your issue exactly ? | 19:36 |
| urlin2u | CDB, every computer has a bootfrom gui outside of the bios look for your key/keys prompt in your manual or the web. | 19:36 |
| Socket- | urlin2u: I am using a bash shell to run apt-get upgrade, and its saying: Something wicked happened resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) | 19:37 |
| CDB | the main problem is it wont boot at all, either from hard drive or CD drive. ive disconnected the CD drive and tried the hard drive and via versa | 19:37 |
| ikonia | CDB: what won't boot ? | 19:37 |
| CDB | any operating system | 19:37 |
| ikonia | CDB: ok - so that's not an ubuntu issue then | 19:37 |
| DogWater | escott: I am comfortable with CLI it's just that the instructions for bonding nics in Ubuntu contradicts itself in like 25 different places, and i think there is a way to do that in the GUI that perhaps will probably save me time trying to figure out what the hell they want me to do =) | 19:37 |
| Socket- | urlin2u: Im using irssi | 19:37 |
| ikonia | CDB: I suggest trying the ##hardware channel or a hardware vendor on local yo you | 19:37 |

| ikonia | CDB: I suggest trying the ##hardware channel or a hardware vendor on local yo you | 19:38 |
| CDB | are you saying im in the wrong forum? | 19:38 |
| CDB | if so how do i change? | 19:38 |
| ikonia | CDB: yes, this isn't an ubuntu issue | 19:38 |
| ikonia | CDB: type "/join ##hardware" | 19:38 |
| ikonia | CDB: or contact a computer repair shop local to you | 19:38 |
| CDB | THank you very much | 19:38 |

| escott | DogWater, so if you know what the gui tool you want to use is you can ssh -X and then start that program directly. thats by far the simplest approach | 19:38 |

| hdpb | escott:Ubuntu -> Ubuntu each has their own user | 19:49 |
| Ho^Oh | I'm on a debian live CD working on my ubuntu raid0 harddrives. | 19:49 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, are you chrooted in? did you bind mount /proc? does cat /proc/partitions list your disks | 19:49 |
| Ho^Oh | I can't chroot. I have to mount my raid first. | 19:50 |
| Ho^Oh | And nothing is in /proc/partitions -.- | 19:50 |
| escott | hdpb, create a group for the two users and create a folder for that group in /home. add both users to that group | 19:50 |

| hdpb | escott: That's what I thought. Can I link from there to both users' /home/music etc and still have read/write for both? | 19:52 |
| escott | hdpb, also set the setgid bit on the directory so that newly created files are in the shared group | 19:52 |
| escott | hdpb, absolutely | 19:52 |
| escott | hdpb, and be careful when adding groups to users with usermod to always use -a flag | 19:52 |
| hdpb | Thanks! | 19:53 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, thats really odd. try partprobe to get the kernel to rescan the partition table. are the disks appearing in /dev? anything relevant in dmesg? | 19:54 |
| Ho^Oh | partprobe can no be found -.- | 19:55 |
| Ho^Oh | It's appearing in /dev/ though. | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Ho^Oh: if your partitions etc don't show in a debian live cd (not ubuntu), i'd ask in #debian | 19:55 |
| urlin2u | Guest77064, you are not on the channel that was given for the language you posted if you continue to just post gibberish you will be banned evetually. | 19:58 |

| Mish- | Any help would be appreciated. | 20:04 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: The best thing I can do not is find a way to destroy my raid0 set up. Delete the harddrives, and start all over again. | 20:04 |
| Ho^Oh | I can do is * | 20:04 |

| Mish- | escott: Yes, "/" and "/boot" are outside the LVM, but "/home, /var, /usr and swap" are inside it. Yet when it boots it gets stuck at "waiting for /home" for example. Tried two rebuilds and two servers. | 20:08 |
| escott | Mish-, sounds like it is not loading lvm modules because it doesn't think they are needed. you need to update /etc/modules.d | 20:08 |

| tasty | anyone with exp. in apache2 could tell me if this looks wonky? http://pastie.org/3362703 | 20:11 |
| _numbers | i changed my xorg.conf and now my keyboard only works on one of my 4 screens. oddly enough the mouse works across all 4 screens still. | 20:12 |
| _numbers | i'm trying to get a quad monitor setup working without xinerama | 20:12 |
| escott | _numbers, is the keyboard not working or is the window manager not granting focus to the other screens | 20:12 |
| _numbers | escott: no keys appear to work on the other screens at all. for example if i right click on desktop and choose new folder then try to type in a label for it, nothing | 20:13 |
| ghostrider | hello | 20:13 |
| _numbers | but it works perfectly on the first screen | 20:13 |
| === JMatthewman is now known as MoleMan | ||
| _numbers | or if i press alt+f2 the launcher dialog appears on the first screen even though i might have focus on a window from one of the other screens | 20:14 |
| _numbers | actually scratch that. the launcher dialog will only appear if i focus a window on the first screen | 20:14 |
| escott | _numbers, so if you have a terminal on screen 1 and drag it over to screen 2 does the keyboard stop working | 20:14 |
| _numbers | i have clone set to off; so i cant drag windows between screens | 20:14 |
| rlbxbeas | i give up, i know nothing about computers -_- | 20:14 |
| _numbers | xinerama is off | 20:14 |
| _numbers | if i grab a window and drag, it like wraps around to the other side of the screen | 20:15 |
| _numbers | im willing to live with that so i can have nvidia glx hardware rendering, i just need the kb to work tho | 20:16 |

| ikonia | StrangeCharm: look at the permissions on / | 20:17 |
| escott | _numbers, never heard of a setup like that but if you want to post your xorg.conf I can look at it | 20:17 |
| _numbers | escott: http://hastebin.com/mixayifali.cmake | 20:17 |
| _numbers | Screen 1 is the only one the kb works on | 20:18 |
| StrangeCharm | ikonia: / is owned by root who has rwx, and everyone else has r-x | 20:18 |
| _numbers | oh actually nvm its Screen 0 | 20:18 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: look at the group | 20:18 |
| StrangeCharm | ikonia: The group is also root. | 20:19 |
| _numbers | so i just tried right-clicking on the other 3 desktops and when i try to create a folder then type the name of the folder... the typing appears here on my chat window on screen 0 | 20:19 |
| StrangeCharm | And also has r-x. | 20:19 |
| _numbers | so maybe its not giving focus to the other screens | 20:19 |
| ikonia | StrangeCharm: ok - so you either have to add the user to the group, change the permissions, or change the group | 20:19 |
| _numbers | oh they also dont have window decorations i just noticed. i mean the file menu is there but not the title of the window or the X _ [_] buttons | 20:20 |
| _numbers | but gnome panels are visible on the top and bottom of each screen | 20:20 |
| _numbers | only the screen 0 has window decorations | 20:20 |
| escott | _numbers, you need to find a window manager that understands this setup and will actually handle all the screens | 20:21 |
| StrangeCharm | ikonia: got it | 20:21 |
| _numbers | any recommendations? i thought gnome would handle it. i am on ubuntu 11.04. maybe upgrading? | 20:21 |
| escott | _numbers, right now the window manager is only handling screen0 | 20:21 |

| escott | _numbers, try something more configurable like maybe a fluxbox? | 20:22 |
| _numbers | escott: ok how about the issue of windows not dragging between. is that an xorg limitation of my config or is that also a window manager limitation that might be fixed in another? | 20:22 |
| _numbers | escott: i am familiar with awesomewm and will try that | 20:22 |
| strat-o-caster | I'm wondering if I can just change the Audio_Command infestival.scm? | 20:22 |
| escott | _numbers, with xinerama disabled i dont know that it would work well. thats kinda what xinerama is for | 20:23 |

| liquidee | ActionParsnip hmm, i dont know - i didnt upgrade it | 20:37 |
| ActionParsnip | liquidee: may be needed | 20:37 |

| ActionParsnip | liquidee: got X to work in what way? | 20:41 |
| escott | MoleMan, that is assuming that we can get Mish- booting | 20:41 |
| liquidee | ActionParsnip: i didnt manage to get X working on arch, but when i installed ubuntu they were automagically working | 20:42 |
| liquidee | ActionParsnip: im wondering what makes the laptop so hot on ubuntu, its WAY cooler on windows 7 | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | liquidee: I suggest you read /var/log/Xorg.0.log then | 20:43 |

| zorael | If you hit Alt+SysRq+R to set "keyboard mode" to default, is there a way to put it back to normal? | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | liquidee: optimus isn't supported in Linux so there will be software to make it all run under Windows. There is not so much love given to Linux so it doesn't run as well | 20:44 |
| MoleMan | hmm, OK | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | liquidee: its all down to money, companies have to spend time and resources making drivers and such, they will get more return supporting Windows so they support that more, | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | liquidee: if youo | 20:45 |
| escott | Mish-, seems like they may have changed the kernel module name. im not clear on what it is called these days. what module did you have to modprobe to create the partitions and mount them when constructing the lvm array | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | liquidee: you'd researched to see what works first before you bought you would have known to avoid Optimus technology | 20:46 |
| liquidee | ActionParsnip: yeah, but i didnt even think i will install linux on lap that time : P | 20:46 |
| liquidee | ActionParsnip: i will try the bumblebee | 20:46 |
| liquidee | ActionParsnip: and see if the discharge current gets lower | 20:47 |

| chaos_zero | Hello. I have an ubuntu server running doing other stuff. i am looking to configure one ethernet connection to directly upload/download files from it. (this would be a windows HTPC) this would of course be LAN only. What is the fastest, easiest way to do this? i dont need security of any kind on it, but i only want it to run on one specific network interface. | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Mathuin: have you tried an xorg.conf file? | 21:02 |
| cis | brb | 21:02 |
| Mathuin | ActionParsnip, I let nvidia-xconfig build one but it did not work. | 21:03 |
| mernilio | !quit | 21:03 |
| ikonia | chaos_zero: tftp or ftp | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chaos_zero: if its on the same LAN then you can access the system. You can make network shares with samba or openssh-server to get an SFTP server | 21:03 |
| Mathuin | Is /etc/X11/xorg.conf still the right spot for xorg.conf in Oneiric? | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Mathuin: same place, same in all distros | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Mathuin: if you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig it will make one for you, you can always drop to root recovery console to fix if it makes issues | 21:05 |
| CharminTheMoose | How do I get /lib/modules/<version> to read '<version>-002'? | 21:05 |
| Mathuin | ActionParsnip, I just ran sudo nvidia-xconfig, I'm going to reboot that box and see what happens. | 21:06 |
| chaos_zero | thank you for the replies. is their a package that you would recommend? what is the apt-get name>? | 21:06 |

| Zw | I need some php help :P Totaly wrong channel, but where to ask? | 21:41 |
| escott | Daniel-3qt32ngew, you dont need to delete linux in that case. just install windows and tell it to overwrite what is present | 21:41 |
| sun_devil | what is skel, a config file? | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Daniel-3qt32ngew: then you will need to tell the XP CD to delete the ubuntu partitions, either way its not an ubuntu issue | 21:41 |

| sun_devil | yes, man pages do not describe it | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | rostyslav: the OS is called Ubuntu, not ubunto | 21:44 |
| escott | you need a /boot partition doesn't have to be too big just needs to hold the kernel and initrd. 1gb is plenty | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | rostyslav: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the partition? | 21:44 |
| rostyslav | ok, sorry this is spanish keboard | 21:44 |

| rostyslav | yes | 21:45 |
| MoleMan | escott: OK, I'm going to go sort a partition on the HDD, I'll be back ASAP | 21:45 |
| escott | MoleMan, see above. you can create that partition and then copy the files over. you'll have to update the fstab and mount the copied /boot onto /boot (hiding what was underneath) then install grub | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | rostyslav: then mount it and you willhave access to the data.. | 21:45 |

| escott | Rurd2di, because your systems permissions are all wrong, presumably because you did something like sudo chmod ### / which you should NEVER do | 21:52 |

| rostyslav | Hey people... Here is the story. I have ubuntu 10.xx, the decided to install fedora 16, on another partition, later fedora I wanted to get back to ubuntu, but I found instead ubuntu partition - LVM2. Tried to use testdisk, gparted, easerecovery etc... nothing helps, I can not get data from this partition, HOW CAN I GET DATA FROM UBUNTU PARTITIONS UNDER LVM2? | 22:04 |
| CharminTheMoose | What options do I need to disable in the kernel to remove SATA/IDE harddrive support, but keep cdrom support? | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | rostyslav: just use your data backups.. | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | CharminTheMoose: i'd ask in #kernel | 22:05 |
| CharminTheMoose | will do | 22:06 |
| wessel | Can anyone help me get my sound working on youtube? | 22:06 |
| escott | rostyslav, so you don't want the lvm2 you want to go back to a raw ext4 partition? | 22:06 |
| rostyslav | ActionParsnip: WHAT MEANS - USE YOUR DATA BACK UP? THE PARTITION IS EMPTY.... | 22:06 |
| cfhowlett | wessel: describe | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rostyslav: kill the caps, it does nothing at all | 22:06 |
| wessel | My sound is work, because speaker testing I can hear: "front left" | 22:06 |

| sun_devil | I have a group and (1) user, gave the group setting but the user does not have anything other then a name | 22:07 |
| wessel | cfhowlett, sound works, but not in flash videos, using x64 Ubuntu | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel: can you give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' use http://pastie.org | 22:07 |
| rostyslav | SO THERE NO WAY TO RECOVER DATA FROM lvm2? | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rostyslav: if your data is important you will have made a backup... | 22:07 |
| escott | MoleMan, you still have to run grub-install to update the mbr to point to the new /boot partition | 22:08 |
| === jason is now known as jasonnz | ||
| ActionParsnip | rostyslav: if you can mount the partition you can get the data, backups are much simpler | 22:08 |

| wessel | http://pastie.org/3363485 | 22:08 |
| escott | rostyslav, are you not able to open the lvm partition because you aren't able to get lvm working in the livecd or are you able to open it but its empty? | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rostyslav: welcome to ignore. | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rostyslav: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-downloader:i386 flashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo and install adobe-installer | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-downloader:i386 flashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo and install adobe-installer | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel: you have 64bit ubuntu, but installed 32bit flash. Enabling the partner repo will give 64bit flash | 22:10 |
| sun_devil | I created a group called account and another called backup, does the system already have a adm group? | 22:10 |
| MoleMan | escott: what did you mean earlier hiding whats underneath /boot? | 22:11 |
| wessel | Thanks a lot, I managed to do the purge | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sun_devil: yes, its how you give users access to sudo and gksudo | 22:11 |
| rostyslav | YES i MOUNTING PARTITION / NO PROBLEMS, ALMOST THE SAME WAY LIKE IN bsd, BUT partition is empty, recovery soft show count of discovered folders and files, but when finishing it, partition still empty | 22:11 |
| escott | You can mount a partition on a non-empty folder and the stuff underneath will be hidden. so mkdir /media/newboot; mount /dev/sda1 /media/newboot/; cp -ar /boot /media/newboot; umount /media/newboot; mount /dev/sda1 /boot; | 22:12 |
| sun_devil | So you want a user to have access only to sudo and not su | 22:12 |

| sun_devil | How do you give a user a passwd | 22:13 |
| escott | MoleMan, ^^^^ and then you can do your grub-install /dev/sda and it should set up /dev/sda1 as the /boot partition. then run update-initramfs and see if it boots | 22:13 |

| ActionParsnip | drakalen: seems to be a mum client.. is that right | 22:47 |
| brobeans | guys, i cant get the best resolution, graphics come up as unknown. best way to resolve this? | 22:47 |
| drakalen | ActionParsnip: yes, this is a mud client | 22:47 |
| medeman | ActionParsnip: Huh, Ctrl+Alt+F1 worked, I meant I couldn't start the terminal application window... | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | medeman: sudo reboot will do it | 22:47 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: yup, works really well. | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | drakalen: if you tab complete the name, does it run? | 22:48 |
| vescestvo | overclucker: should I just check those two sections? | 22:48 |
| spacebarbarian | my init.d scripts arent reflecting on variables I added to /etc/environment, is there a way to update it without a reboot ? | 22:48 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: you need at least updates securuty and main | 22:48 |
| medeman | ActionParsnip: Hmm that didn't help, I'll try it with recovery mode now... | 22:48 |
| escott | spacebarbarian, environments are inherited from the parent process so if you just updated the file you HAVE to reboot | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | drakalen: could try tintin++ maybe | 22:49 |
| drakalen | ActionParsnip: what is tintin++ ? | 22:49 |
| rostyslav | hay linux people, can someone help me with lvm2 (Volume group), under knees of it there whole ubuntu, but when I mount it to some mount-point, nothing there, it looks empty.... | 22:49 |
| spacebarbarian | escott: ok ill reboot | 22:49 |
| escott | spacebarbarian, and you might have to run update-initramfs as well | 22:49 |
| vescestvo | overclucker: can you explain the difference on each pair of checkboxes? If I want main, do I click both mains? | 22:49 |
| escott | rostyslav, what command are you using to mount it | 22:50 |
| === ozi|afl is now known as ChanBot | ||
| overclucker | vescestvo: hover the cursor over the question mark (-; | 22:50 |

| === ozior is now known as ChanBot | ||
| vescestvo | overclucker: I did. It doesn't explain what the "Main Sources Repository" checkbox means though | 22:51 |
| drakalen | ActionParsnip: ok i try Tintin++, on polish irc peoples say, kildclient don't work and that is normal xD | 22:51 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: i woould say go with main updates security multivers and universe, the rest is optional | 22:51 |
| vescestvo | overclucker: and not the repository ones? | 22:51 |
| medeman | ActionParsnip: When I run the command sudo nvidia-xconfig from the recovery root thing, it says ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11' | 22:51 |
| spacebarbarian | escott: hmm the init.d scripts still not seeing the vars | 22:52 |
| spacebarbarian | after reboot andd ramfs update | 22:52 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: you mean the source repos? | 22:52 |
| drakalen | Thanks for help | 22:52 |

| rostyslav | escott:first I have to activate this volume group (vgchange -ay ubuntu), then mount like this - mount /dev/Ubuntu/ubuntu /mnt | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | medeman: hmm, does the folder exist, it should be present | 22:53 |
| escott | spacebarbarian, im afraid i don't know where upstart gets its environment from | 22:53 |
| brobeans | where can i get help resolving graphics driver issues? | 22:53 |
| vescestvo | overclucker: okay, under "Ubuntu Branches", I see two checkboxes: 1) "Main - Officially supported software." and "Main Sources Repository". I don't know what the difference is, or if I need both. So, when you say to do main, I'm unsure whether I just check the first, or both. | 22:53 |
| medeman | ActionParsnip: When I enter ls, it shows nothing...weird, isn't it? | 22:53 |

| overclucker | vescestvo: source gives you the option of downloading source code for the package. you dont need ot to run the programs, but if you want to compileit yourself, you'll the source repo | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | medeman: did the system say it made the file? | 22:54 |
| escott | rostyslav, and is /dev/Ubuntu/ubuntu the correct device path? why is it not /dev/mapper/something? is /dev/Ubuntu/ubuntu a symlink to a /dev/mapper volume? | 22:55 |
| vescestvo | overclucker: thanks! | 22:55 |
| rostyslav | escott: yes it is correct, but still empty | 22:55 |
| === Tttech is now known as enchilado | ||
| medeman | ActionParsnip: Which file? When I enter sudo nvidia-xconfig it says "Using X Configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"." and "ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'." | 22:56 |
| escott | rostyslav, if ls -al /mnt shows an empty folder then its not there | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | medeman: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:56 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: how screwed up is your sources.list? | 22:56 |

| rostyslav | sorry | 22:57 |
| medeman | overclucker: The file exists, but the system didn't say anything about the file...Or what do you mean? I'm a noob in linux stuff... | 22:57 |
| rostyslav | mnt | 22:57 |
| vescestvo | vescestvo: gone. I followed a tutorial for installing mongodb and it had an "echo deb… >> /etc/apt/sources.list", only I used a single >, which replaced the entire thing | 22:57 |
| escott | rostyslav, that 41gb figure may just be the logical size of the lvm subvolume. it might be empty | 22:57 |
| rostyslav | df -h ---->>> /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-ubuntu | 22:58 |
| rostyslav | 41G 177M 39G 1% /mnt | 22:58 |
| escott | rostyslav, well its mostly empty. it supposedly only has 177megs of data in it | 22:58 |
| rostyslav | escott: there was ubuntu before, but after installing on this HDD (another partition ) fedora, ubuntu gone | 22:59 |
| medeman | ActionParsnip: The file xorg.conf exists... | 23:00 |
| spacebarbarian | no one knows then how to get upstart to read variables from /etc/environment ? | 23:00 |
| rostyslav | escott: how did it happened I have no idea | 23:00 |
| brobeans | how can i find if there is driver available for my graphics? | 23:00 |
| escott | rostyslav, well fedora uses lvm, maybe it did something to that volume | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | medeman: cool, then reboot and test | 23:01 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: that's not so bad. as long as you didn't have sources for different versions of ubuntu. make sure to sudo apt-get update or you still won't be able to install curl | 23:01 |
| medeman | ActionParsnip: I mean the file exists, but nvidia-xconfig still says ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'. | 23:01 |
| vescestvo | overclucker: well, I generated one, did and update, and still no joy…trying different settings | 23:02 |
| rostyslav | escott: easyrecovery tool, shows over 70,000 folder and over 560,000 files etc... but when I accessing it, its empty, testdisk is recovering from this partition, but separate files, I need who dorectory structure with files in it | 23:02 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: still no curl? | 23:03 |
| vescestvo | overclucker: nope | 23:03 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: curl is in the main repo | 23:03 |

| rostyslav | escott: especially in situation like this one | 23:06 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: np | 23:06 |
| medeman | ActionParsnip: So how do I rename it exactly? | 23:07 |
| overclucker | vescestvo: you should apt-get upgrade now that you've got repos in your sources.list | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | medeman: something different | 23:07 |
| medeman | ActionParsnip: no, i meant the command usage | 23:08 |
| rostyslav | escott: any idea how can I possibly recover at least home directory | 23:08 |
| Gentoo64 | medeman: to rename use mv | 23:08 |
| Gentoo64 | medeman: mv the file to a different name | 23:08 |

| ActionParsnip | medeman: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old | 23:09 |
| medeman | Gentoo64: ActionParsnip: it says the file system is read only | 23:09 |

I haven't been in the room long enough to know what you two are talking about exactly, but if you're trying to fix an ubuntu partition from a livecd, you may need another distro's livecd. | 23:17 |

| medeman | mongy: yea, ill start it via the menu now... | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Nicolas_Leonida2: its the same, you just install with a different media. How does using USB rather than CD make any difference? | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Nicolas_Leonida2: if you want a desktop OS, installl the desktop OS. The server OS doesn't come with a desktop installed | 23:33 |

| MoleMan | escott: i edited fstab and ran update-initramfs | 23:41 |
| rostyslav | Question - How to undelete/recover ubuntu partition after installed fedora (that created lvm).... | 23:41 |
| escott | MoleMan, do you copied the grub files to the new boot partition. edited fstab and mounted it. did you reinstall grub to the mbr? | 23:42 |
| priXon` | hello | 23:42 |
| rostyslav | priXon`: hello | 23:42 |
| Steevca | ActionParsnip: The problem is i don't have gnome,i have unity. | 23:42 |
| MoleMan | escott: run grub install? | 23:43 |
| randomnewb | Hello | 23:43 |
| MonkeyDust | Steevca unity = gnome3 + compiz | 23:43 |
| escott | MoleMan, lets back up and make sure you understand the steps. | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Steevca: unity is a shell for Gnome, you have gnome | 23:43 |
| mongy | medeman, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-* | 23:43 |
| priXon` | I wish to buy a ThinkPad T-520 and continue using ubuntu. but I've read that its graphic card is nVidia NVS 4200M and that has some issues with ubuntu. has ubuntu team solved the optimus problem? | 23:43 |
| Zilly | i hate the new UI | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Zilly: don't use it | 23:44 |
| MonkeyDust | Zilly then don't use it | 23:44 |
| medeman | mongy: thank you | 23:44 |
| Zilly | I don't use it | 23:44 |
| Steevca | Well when i try to install gnome tweak tool as mentioned here i get report that i don't have gnome shell | 23:44 |
| _skpl | sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 23:45 |
| Oer | priXon`, no, there is Bumblebee, but far from perfect https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 23:45 |
| escott | MoleMan, 1) Create a new boot partition and copy the kernel to it 2) update the fstab 3) mount the new boot partition onto /boot 4) update the mbr to point to the new boot partition with grub-install 5) update the initramfs to reflect the new fstab with update-initramfs 6) probably not a bad idea to update the grub.cfg with update-grub. if you skipped one of those use your livecd to chroot into the system and go through the process again | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Zilly: pointless statement then, want to list the other apps you don't like. We are dying to know... | 23:45 |
| mongy | Zilly, take your pick of any other desktop like xubuntu-desktop or lubuntu-desktop | 23:45 |
| overclucker | medeman: it's probably better not to combine * and apt-get remove. try apt-cache search dpkg -l | grep nvidia and ro find the package name to remove | 23:45 |
| Oer | priXon`, else join #Bumblebee, those guys are up2date. | 23:45 |
| medeman | overclucker: oh too late :( | 23:45 |
| Ho^Oh | Oer:I've tried all of those, but it assumes I am literally infront of the computer. | 23:46 |
| priXon` | yeah, I also wanted to ask if Bumblebee is a good fix for that. do you think I should look for another notebook or wait for ubuntu to solve it or for lenovo to pick anther graphic card? | 23:46 |
| overclucker | medeman: it probably worked, but in the future . . . | 23:46 |
| mongy | medeman, nvidia* is for nvidia stuff only. | 23:46 |
| medeman | overclucker: yea, thanks | 23:46 |
| medeman | mongy: yea i used nvidia-* | 23:46 |
| medeman | mongy: now it shows a black screen when i start in normal mod | 23:46 |
| mongy | medeman, as overclucker says, usage of * is wrong mostly. | 23:46 |
| medeman | e | 23:46 |
| MoleMan | escott: i thought i did all that :/ | 23:46 |
| mongy | medeman, install the nouveau driver again | 23:47 |
| medeman | mongy: how? | 23:47 |
| Ho^Oh | This is done remotely and my options are limited to what live CDs I can use and etc. I can't pxe boot (I need VNC for that), I do not know if it should be /dev/md0 or /dev/sda1 because most of the tutorials again assumes I have access to GUI. Everytthing here is all commandline. | 23:47 |
| jakko | any ideas how to get shift+Fn back ? somehow these keys go to VT's now, like Alt-Ctrl-Fn have done for almost 20 years... | 23:47 |
| mongy | medeman, sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 23:47 |
| mongy | medeman, also, remove /etc/xorg.conf if it exists | 23:48 |
| mongy | medeman, or move it. | 23:48 |
| escott | MoleMan, its ok. you just have to chroot in and redo it. you'll want to be comfortable with the chroot process anyways. If you can be more specific about what grub says in the rescue prompt i might be able to identify what you skipped | 23:48 |
| medeman | mongy: failed to download, does it connect to wifi in recovery mode? | 23:49 |
| MoleMan | escott: anyway, do i need the ubuntu server live cd or any? | 23:49 |
| Ho^Oh | Oer: If I can PXE boot my Remote server as it hosts up a VNC server, then I can use graphical interface to install Ubuntu with raid. | 23:49 |
| mongy | medeman, I'm not an nvidia guy so if someone else wants to butt in, fine | 23:49 |
| mongy | medeman, you are in recovery still? | 23:49 |
| l_h2o_l_ | Hi, I'm trying to install vmware server 2.0.2 on Ubuntu server 64 bits 10.04 lts using this guide: http://radu.cotescu.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-2-0-x-on-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ but when i run the sudo ./vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.3x-install.sh command i got this: http://pastebin.com/QXA6t07c | 23:50 |
| escott | MoleMan, when you chroot in you can use any. but later on when you are creating a lvm root it will help to have a server livecd | 23:50 |
| Oer | Ho^Oh, all i know is you need the alternate iso. | 23:50 |
| priXon` | btw, does anyone know of a good new and cool (heat-wise) notebook model that has a 4:3 monitor? | 23:50 |
| medeman | mongy: yea, ... now in my desktop...which works again (in a weird resolution) | 23:50 |
| MoleMan | escott: it doesnt just generic gnu grub title and description of the usage 'minimal bash-like line editing....' | 23:50 |
| MoleMan | no rror message | 23:51 |
| escott | MoleMan, does it list any boot options? if not then grub on the mbr is pointing at something it can't find so something went wrong with the grub-install step | 23:51 |
| Akls | python script says "ImportError: No module named audiolab" what should I install to make it work? | 23:52 |
| aztek[tum] | audiolab | 23:53 |
| craigbass1976 | do I need a network to install Lucid? | 23:54 |
| Gentoo64 | craigbass1976: no | 23:54 |
| cfhowlett | craigbass1976: highly recommended but no. | 23:54 |
| priXon` | anyone...? 4:3 monitors in notebooks? | 23:55 |
| cfhowlett | craigbass1976: wait network = wifi? | 23:55 |
| Gentoo64 | priXon`: what about it? | 23:55 |
| craigbass1976 | Gentoo64, I'm hung on setting the time zone and wondered. I'll have the network eventually, but right now don't have long c at5 and I don't feel like moving the whole operation nearer to a jack. | 23:55 |
| overclucker | Akls: !find audiolab | 23:55 |
| overclucker | oops | 23:55 |
| overclucker | !find audiolab | 23:56 |
| Gentoo64 | craigbass1976: dont worry about it, ust install it and you can plug the net it after its installed | 23:56 |
| ubottu | Package/file audiolab does not exist in oneiric | 23:56 |
| Akls | see? | 23:56 |
| priXon` | Gentoo64, I'm looking for a good new and cool (heat-wise) notebook model that has a 4:3 monitor? | 23:56 |
| overclucker | Akls: you probably need to go egg hunting | 23:56 |
| Gentoo64 | priXon`: whya 4:3? my old laptop from 1999 has a 4:3 :) | 23:56 |
| craigbass1976 | Gentoo64, that's what I thought, but I've never seen it hang on the time zone choice before. Thought maybe it didn't like the NY zone (Red Sox fans at Ubuntu?) | 23:56 |
| MoleMan | ok, how do i chroot in? should i launch 'rescue mode' on the install disk? | 23:57 |
| Gentoo64 | craigbass1976: how long has it hung for? or is it working now? | 23:57 |
| === liam is now known as _liam | ||
| medeman | mongy: thanks for your help, its now working again, but without an accelerated video driver...its late here so ill go sleep now, maybe we talk tomorrow or ill install opensuse and see if that works flawless... | 23:58 |
| craigbass1976 | Gentoo64, all of supper, plus some before and after. I've backed out and am going to try it again. | 23:58 |
| bulletxt | hi everyone, I'm upgrading ubuntu 8.04 lts server to ubuntu 10.04 via do-release-upgrade command. I noticed along new packages it wants to install, it wants to install postfix. Why this? Is postfix installed by default in ubuntu 10.04? | 23:58 |
| Gentoo64 | craigbass1976: yea i was gona say maybe try it again | 23:58 |
| Gentoo64 | craigbass1976: it shouldnt hang at all | 23:58 |
| jbusch175 | Hello all, I have an apt-get question: after doing 'apt-get upgrade' and Ubuntu downloads and installs a new kernel, does the OS require a restart? It doesn't tell me to restart, so it should be good, right? | 23:59 |
| Gentoo64 | jbusch175: youll need to restart to use the new kernel | 23:59 |
| craigbass1976 | Gentoo64, in the interests of science, I may pack up and put it on the network just to see. | 23:59 |
| priXon` | Gentoo64, I like the 4:3 ratio. it's better for sites, news sites, writing papers and so | 23:59 |
| MoleMan | escott: ive got busybox? is that right/what do i need to do? | 23:59 |
| Gentoo64 | priXon`: no idea, most come with wide now | 23:59 |
