| escott | MoleMan, so boot the normal livecd, then mount your ubuntu partition to /media/ubuntu with sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda# /media/ubuntu; you then have to bind mount /proc and /dev and maybe /sys with sudo mount -o bind /proc /media/ubuntu/proc (same for dev and sys); mount the new boot partition with sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu/boot; finally then sudo chroot /media/ubuntu; at this point you should be inside your ub | 00:00 |

| escott | untu system as if it had booted more or less normally | 00:00 |
| c_smith_ | hey, I got a new Desktop, and I have no monitor to hook it up to, and I really would like to get started on installing Ubuntu 11.10 on it, and saw that it had an S-Video out jack, and found a VCR that has a similar jack (S-VIDEO out), and I'm wondering whether I can connect the 2 safely to get the PC to display on the TV. | 00:00 |
| medeman | and thanks to everybody who helped me, good night/day | 00:00 |
| Ho^Oh | Oer: What I really need is DEBOOTSTRAP into Raid0 tutorial. Which doesn't seem to be out here. | 00:00 |
| c_smith_ | I have a monitor at home. | 00:00 |
| MoleMan | escott: so i need a normal disk not server? | 00:00 |
| escott | MoleMan, you can use either. everything you are doing is command line. so just boot to a normal commandline on the cd | 00:01 |
| bulletxt | does someone know why ubuntu wants to install postfix when doing do-release-upgrade on ubuntu 8.04 (upgrades to 10.04)? | 00:01 |
| Ho^Oh | The steps/path names changes in between tutorials and I do not know which is which. (sda/md0) because the tutorials were not made for my situation. | 00:01 |
| Gentoo64 | c_smith_: possibly, try it... | 00:02 |
| Gentoo64 | c_smith_: i dont hear that used very often though :) | 00:02 |
| fellayaboy | how can i see the commands for those in /etc/init.d/??i tried man and --help but im doing it wrong | 00:02 |
| c_smith_ | ok, I have a 32" TV at home with VGA, HDMI, and a bunch of other ports in the back if this doesn't pan out. | 00:02 |
| overclucker | fellayaboy: not all the init scripts are even functional | 00:03 |
| fellayaboy | i see | 00:03 |
| c_smith_ | and I'd need to find said cord in a box full of 'em. :P | 00:03 |
| fellayaboy | well for those that are functional...is their a way | 00:03 |
| Gentoo64 | c_smith_: your best bet would be the vga or hdmi | 00:03 |
| fellayaboy | or do i have to look at scattered documenations found in other folders and such | 00:03 |
| cppdev | I love linux :) | 00:03 |
| c_smith_ | Gentoo64, true dat, gotta love VGA. | 00:04 |
| Gentoo64 | yea im still using vga | 00:04 |
| overclucker | fellayaboy: mostly you'll only have stop start reload and force-reload. | 00:04 |
| fellayaboy | where can i see info about my vpn malfunctioning..which logs | 00:05 |
| c_smith_ | Gentoo64, funny thing is the tower seems to have one of the latest iteration of VGA, and 2 old VGA ports..... strange, never seen one like that. | 00:05 |
| akSeya | folks.. quick question, i need to change some setting on kernel .config but when I run "make modules", scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig is run and is overwrite .config | 00:05 |
| c_smith_ | it was custom built for someone who is no longer alive. | 00:05 |
| akSeya | what can I do? | 00:05 |
| tristan3199us | so after upgrading to 11.10 my speakers started "hissing" loudly.. seems like something to do with my drivers.. | 00:05 |
| priXon` | does ubuntu support multiple monitors (i.e. connecting the notebook to the tv for example)? because on my old r60, I've never managed to enable it in a suitable manner | 00:06 |
| overclucker | fellayaboy: and i forgot status | 00:06 |
| t432 | I am unable to login after adding a file to the etc/profile.d/... how can i remove this file? | 00:06 |
| Gentoo64 | c_smith_: theres only 1 vga afaik | 00:06 |
| c_smith_ | priXon`, yes it does, and it's easy to set up. | 00:06 |
| fellayaboy | start stop reload and status | 00:06 |
| fellayaboy | got it | 00:06 |
| fellayaboy | thanks overclucker | 00:06 |
| tristan3199us | anyideas how to fix this?? | 00:06 |
| c_smith_ | Gentoo64, yeah, as far as I can tell, the difference is purely looks. | 00:06 |
| overclucker | fellayaboy: you can read the initscript with a text editor | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | tristan3199us: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait a little while then try some sound stuff | 00:07 |
| fellayaboy | wheres the initscript | 00:07 |
| c_smith_ | the other two ports just look older (with pins sticking out) | 00:07 |
| overclucker | fellayaboy: /etc/init.d | 00:07 |
| priXon` | ok, thanks | 00:07 |
| fellayaboy | oh what will that tell me... | 00:07 |
| MoleMan | escott: does it matter if the new boot partition is sda4 it canvstill be flagged as the boot partition? | 00:07 |
| fellayaboy | the commands for each daemon/ | 00:07 |
| t432 | anyone? | 00:07 |
| c_smith_ | priXon`, if you want, I could point you to the app you would search for in Unity. | 00:08 |
| escott | MoleMan, that shouldn't matter just be sure to reference the correct partitions in all your mounts (i've been assuming boot was sda1 so you would use sda4) | 00:08 |
| tristan3199us | actionParsnip: thank you.. it did turn off pulseaudio, however it still hisses at me.. | 00:09 |
| priXon` | c_smith_, please do. although now, on my r60, i'm still using 10.04 (and I've got some problems because of ati radeon mobility) | 00:09 |
| fellayaboy | whats the log to see for checking whats wrong with network connections?? | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | tristan3199us: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh | 00:10 |
| overclucker | fellayaboy: init.d isn't really used very much in ubuntu, mostly it's ontrolled with sudo service start|stop|reload with configs in /etc/init | 00:10 |
| c_smith_ | priXon`, this is assuming you are using Unity, open up the dash, and search "display" it'll be the one with the monitor with measuring tools on it. | 00:10 |
| fellayaboy | iooh | 00:11 |
| MoleMan | escott: should the files be in /boot? they appear to be in /boot/boot | 00:11 |
| escott | MoleMan, that would be the problem then. move them down a level | 00:11 |
| overclucker | fellayaboy: erm, sudo service SERVICE start|stop|reload|status | 00:11 |
| === dduffey_afk is now known as dduffey | ||
| MoleMan | escott: you mean up to /boot/? | 00:12 |
| escott | MoleMan, mv /boot/boot/* /boot/ | 00:12 |
| priXon` | and then I will find it under `display`? | 00:12 |
| fellayaboy | oh overclucker yeah i know..its for starting , stopping etc daemons | 00:12 |
| escott | MoleMan, then you can verify that /boot/boot is empty and rm -rf /boot/boot | 00:12 |

| MoleMan | whats the operand to move folders aswell? | 00:13 |
| escott | MoleMan, * will move folders down. it will complain that it can't move something to itself but it just means that the .. link in /boot/boot can't be moved to /boot | 00:14 |
| overclucker | fellayaboy: you could also find any config files the vpn daemon uses in /etc and check them for log locations | 00:15 |

| MoleMan | ah it was becase there was already a grub folder it wouldnt let me replace | 00:17 |
| escott | MoleMan, because of the grub install. its not too important. the main thing is the kernel. just rerun the grub-install and update-grub and dont worry about grub related files | 00:17 |
| soul | Hello I have a question regarding of my radio tray. It shows playing a music with the title but I can't hear anything sound from radio tray. My audio works fine by the way, only my radio tray does not. | 00:17 |

| jschall | how do i get rid of xorg-edgers? ppa-purge goes nuts and wants to hose my system | 00:24 |
| dns53 | jschall there is a tool called ppa-purge to remove any packages installed by a ppa and install the standard version | 00:25 |
| MoleMan | right, it boots, how do i add the existing partition to the lvm and keep all files? | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | !details | jschall | 00:25 |
| ubottu | jschall: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:25 |
| jschall | dns53: and here's what it wants to do: http://pastebin.com/D83X7Z4N | 00:25 |
| jschall | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/D83X7Z4N | 00:25 |
| escott | MoleMan, so at this point since you will be modifying the / partition you will have to work from a livecd because you cannot modify a mounted partition | 00:26 |
| tristan3199us | actionparsnip: will do.. u think maybe my sound driver has changed?? | 00:26 |
| soul | Hello I have a question regarding of my radio tray. It shows playing a music with the title but I can't hear anything sound from radio tray. My audio works fine by the way, only my radio tray does not. | 00:26 |
| _numbers | just upgraded to 11.10 and in gnome3 when i go to system settings > display i get an error "Could not get screen information" "RANDR extension is not present" | 00:27 |
| Sentridoh | hey everyone | 00:27 |
| _numbers | so i go `sudo apt-get install xrandr` and i get an error "E: Package 'xrandr' has no installation candidate" | 00:27 |
| dns53 | jschall hmm you might have some trouble there, you might have to work out what packages were installed from that ppa yourself and work out the versions yourself using aptitude | 00:27 |
| _numbers | "However the following packages replace it: x11-xserver-utils:i386 x11-xserver-utils" | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | tristan3199us: it will be the same driver, just a different build.. | 00:28 |
| dns53 | jschall could you file a bug with ppa-purge? | 00:28 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, what are you trying to do with xrandr? | 00:28 |
| _numbers | i just want to open the Display settings from System Settings | 00:28 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, you might try installing libxrandr | 00:28 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, aside from that, I don't know that xrandr can be installed by itself. and I'm pretty sure Xrandr is just a library. | 00:29 |
| _numbers | libxrandr2 is already the newest version. | 00:29 |
| _numbers | it used to be a binary | 00:29 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, then you have it. | 00:29 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, but I'd try installing the packages that it lists that replace what you are trying to install. | 00:30 |
| jschall | dns53: i don't have the first clue how to resolve this manually... | 00:30 |
| MoleMan | escott: ok, the last bit i had to do from busybox but im not sure it will work for next bit due to limited functionality will desktop livecd do\? | 00:30 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, if it says they are installed, chance are you already have it. | 00:31 |
| escott | MoleMan, What last bit? | 00:31 |
| _numbers | x11-xserver-utils is already the newest version. | 00:31 |
| _numbers | i have it in /usr/bin/xrandr | 00:31 |
| _numbers | maybe i need to run it | 00:31 |
| MoleMan | fixing the boot | 00:31 |
| _numbers | "RandR extension missing" | 00:31 |
| escott | MoleMan, but it does boot at this point | 00:31 |
| MoleMan | yes | 00:31 |
| _numbers | maybe after upgrade i need to reinstall nvidia driver | 00:32 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, give me a second. | 00:32 |
| escott | MoleMan, and its booting to a complete system with the new boot partition. You could verify by umounting the /boot and removing any files in the /boot folder that was hidden underneath the partition | 00:32 |
| overclucker | jschall: apt-get remove the package, apt-get autoremove, remove the ppa from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ; apt-get update; apt-get install package | 00:33 |
| dns53 | jschall bring up aptitude, go to the package, down the bottom of each package screen is a list of versions available | 00:33 |
| bobo37774 | How to reset dconf settings and recreate ~/.config/dconf? | 00:33 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! Where do you put nameserver addresses now that /etc/resolv.conf can be overwritten at a whim by the network manager? | 00:33 |
| dns53 | jschall are you using a versison of ppa-purge from the ppa-purge ppa? | 00:33 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, ok, try installing "Grandr" then run Grandr when it's done. | 00:33 |
| jschall | dns53: no | 00:34 |
| MoleMan | yes | 00:34 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, just so you know, Grandr is a GTK interface for Xrandr. | 00:34 |
| _numbers | Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0". | 00:34 |
| _numbers | RandR extension missing | 00:34 |
| _numbers | thats what grandr says | 00:34 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, ok, I'm stumped here, give me a second to google this. | 00:34 |
| jschall | dns53: should i be? | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dsnyders: in network manager | 00:35 |
| _numbers | one site says Xinerama and RandR are rivals | 00:35 |
| _numbers | i am using xinerama | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dsnyders: set the interface to DHCP (address only) and you can specify DNS servers manually | 00:35 |
| escott | MoleMan, in that case then you need to boot the livecd (and it might be helpful to have a gui for the next bit). And in the livecd you can take your backups and being the process of migrating to the lvm partitions | 00:35 |
| mou | who escott | 00:36 |
| jschall | dns53: i see no ppa-purge ppa | 00:36 |
| dns53 | jschall it might work better than the included version | 00:36 |
| bobo37774 | I tried to reset gnome-panel by deleting ~/.config/dconf and ~/.config/gnome-panel. It was a pretty stupid move. Now I do not know how to recreate them. Anybody know? | 00:36 |
| dsnyders | ActionParsnip, the interface needs to be static. Besides, I can't edit it. | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | dsnyders: you mean the IP must be static? | 00:36 |
| * MoleMan goes CD hunting again | 00:37 | |
| dsnyders | ActionParsnip, Yes, sorry about that. | 00:37 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, if tat's the case. I'd be careful with what you do, conflicting apps have the very real possibility of breaking a system, especially ones that integrate with an important part like X.org. | 00:37 |
| _numbers | "You need to enable the composite extension in your xorg.conf file." | 00:38 |
| _numbers | i have that disabled | 00:38 |
| _numbers | i have 4 monitors | 00:38 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, try enabling it then. | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dsnyders: thats fine, you can set both IP and DNS in network manager | 00:39 |
| _numbers | ya i'll experiment. it wasn't working before but maybe now that i upgraded. trying bbl | 00:39 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, then reboot and see what happens. if anything goes wrong, come back here. | 00:39 |
| jschall | far as i can tell, ppa-purge is useless and resolving this manually is borderline impossible | 00:39 |
| overclucker | ActionParsnip: i bet it won't let him edit it | 00:39 |
| dsnyders | ActionParsnip, Where/how? The edit button is greyed out. | 00:40 |
| _numbers | gnome terminal command for logout? | 00:40 |
| c_smith_ | _numbers, sorry, can't help you there as I have no clue myself, | 00:41 |

| c_smith_ | _numbers, you might try 'service lightdm restart' | 00:42 |

| switchtech | federated_life: are you connecting through terminal? | 00:48 |
| escott | MoleMan, (a) you can copy the data to a spare drive then create a new lvm partition to replace the existing / partition and then create a volume and copy the data back | 00:48 |
| federated_life | yes terminal | 00:49 |
| switchtech | and its the password req that takes a min to show? | 00:49 |
| federated_life | yep, like 5-10 secs | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | dsnyders: you can use /etc/network/interfaces to set the IP, you can then manually populate /etc/resolv.conf and uninstall network manager if you never want to use wifi easily... | 00:49 |
| escott | MoleMan, or (b) shrink the ext4, create the lvm, create the volume, move the data from the shrunken ext4 to the lvm, remove the ext4, grow the lvm | 00:49 |

| Drone4four | escott, yes, that's what the first links on Google say about kcore, but how then do you explain the "disk full" error message? What is taking up all the space on my / partition? Konqueror's file size view points to kcore | 00:54 |

| zenon_ | I found this http://www.opensound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4200 | 01:11 |
| federated_life | switchtech: yes, its much faster when adding the ip to the hosts file, however I have like 200 servers to connect to | 01:11 |
| switchtech | it may be your dns? i take it that its on WAN right? | 01:12 |
| federated_life | nope, on a lan | 01:12 |
| randomnewb | Did some comparisons of filesystems, it's the huge amount of files making things slow. Would having an SSD help here? | 01:12 |

| urlin2u | raido, 3rd party but whats up | 01:14 |
| raido_ | I have a laptop with Ubuntu installed on it and I'm trying to encrypt the entire drive. I can open the Volume Creation Wizard but I don't see the option to encrypt the entire drive | 01:14 |
| raido_ | That option is missing. | 01:14 |
| switchtech | radio_: used to, but they did not release all their sorce code... use cryptsetup instead now... | 01:15 |
| raido_ | Using this tutorial... http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/6169/use-truecrypt-to-secure-your-data/ | 01:15 |
| switchtech | radio_: http://sites.google.com/site/nuxnbolts/lujyfwapvu/cryptsetup | 01:15 |
| urlin2u | raido, are you sure you need to, if it breaks you may be a bit of trouble. | 01:15 |
| urlin2u | in | 01:15 |
| raido_ | well, since it's a laptop I'd like to encrypt the entire thing since it's a mobile device and more prone to theft | 01:16 |
| raido_ | thank you for the link | 01:16 |
| switchtech | federated_life: I think the terminal uses an additional check to "verify" the server it is connecting to... | 01:16 |
| raido_ | looking at it now | 01:16 |
| MoleMan | escott: once data is in a lvm virtual device or whatever it is on the live cd how can i open it in my installation? doesnt the virtual storage have to be created in the OS it will be used in? | 01:16 |
| urlin2u | raido, faulty reasoning but hey its your data. ;) | 01:17 |
| federated_life | switchtech: ok I got it...adding GSSAPIAuthentication no to the local ~/.ssh/config file does it | 01:17 |
| escott | MoleMan, once you have moved the data you should chroot in again, make sure the lvm2 utils are installed and update the fstab, and also update-grub again | 01:17 |
| escott | MoleMan, and update-initramfs | 01:17 |
| switchtech | federated_life: wunderbar!~ | 01:17 |
| federated_life | thanks for the help | 01:17 |

| zsolt | if i delete a user's line from /etc/passwd is it equal to deluser user? | 01:17 |
| Drone4four | escott, solution found: http://picpaste.com/pics/xsession-errors-01iqMkwj.1329009454.png | 01:17 |
| Drone4four | it was .xsession-errors | 01:18 |
| Drone4four | 53GBs | 01:18 |
| raido_ | urlin2u, what are the risks? Is it really that dangerous? | 01:18 |
| mr_crunchy | yooo hi | 01:18 |
| escott | MoleMan, you may need to do something like add mod_md to your /etc/modules | 01:18 |
| MoleMan | escott: so when i chroot i have to create the virtual groups again? | 01:18 |
| escott | MoleMan, virtualgroups? | 01:19 |
| urlin2u | raido, if it breaks and your locked out it is not easy and may cost a lot of money to get in if even possible. | 01:19 |
| raido_ | urlin2u, oh I see | 01:19 |
| switchtech | radio_: you can always try spideroak if you want an online solution, however it is still an issue if you forget your password... | 01:19 |
| raido_ | urlin2u, I have backups of my data so if I messed up my laptop I could recover it (it would be a pain though) | 01:20 |
| raido_ | switchtech, thanks I've never heard of that one but I'll look it up | 01:20 |
| switchtech | radio_: https://spideroak.com/ | 01:20 |
| urlin2u | raido, I would have backups for sure, sounds more reasonable if you do. | 01:20 |
| abs | i have been trying to instal the iwlwifi and each time i type make i get awarning $shell not set to bash and it never executes | 01:21 |

| switchtech | whoops wrong terminal.... | 01:21 |
| raido_ | overclucker, ah that would explain it | 01:22 |
| zenon_ | xubuntu xfce lubuntu lxde kubuntu kde, right or wrong? | 01:22 |
| raido_ | overclucker, I kept thinking that I installed it improperly or that the option was hidden somewhere, I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong | 01:22 |
| urlin2u | raido, you familiar with clonezilla? | 01:22 |
| mr_crunchy | quick question: I'm installing unbutu, is that helpfull for node.js i guess? | 01:23 |
| raido_ | urlin2u, no, what is it? | 01:23 |
| urlin2u | raido, it will clone HD's and partitions. | 01:23 |
| raido_ | urlin2u, ah, okay I've been using HD clone | 01:23 |
| urlin2u | and the mbr is included | 01:23 |
| raido_ | urlin2u, I'll check it out thanks :) | 01:23 |
| urlin2u | raido, no problem. | 01:24 |

| SirLinux | hello guys, any ideea how i upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 with the cd i purchased from ubuntu ? | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Rahail-M: something like: http://www.disklessworkstations.com/ is that what you mean? | 01:28 |
| urlin2u | SirLinux, you can't use the standard path? | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | SirLinux: boot to the oneiric CD, upgrade will be an option | 01:29 |
| Rahail-M | ActionParsnip nope | 01:29 |
| Rahail-M | something like settop box | 01:29 |
| Rahail-M | beagleboard | 01:29 |
| Rahail-M | no idea | 01:29 |
| SirLinux | is nothing about upgrade when restarting the notebook and booting the cd | 01:29 |
| escott | raido, the dmcrypt way is to have a kernel that loads but a rootfs that is encrypted so you can "boot" a kernel but its not going anywhere | 01:29 |
| SirLinux | i get only install and try demo | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Rahail-M: if you don't know how do you expect anyone else to? | 01:29 |
| urlin2u | SirLinux, never have done it but it must be in the install gui's | 01:30 |
| urlin2u | from the desktop | 01:30 |
| switchtech | Rahail-M: not quite what you are looking for but try the Intel Essentials Series... | 01:31 |
| SirLinux | gksu "sh /media/cdrom/cdromupgrade" | 01:31 |
| SirLinux | done i find out how to do it | 01:31 |

| SirLinux | is mounted ofcourse | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | SirLinux: afaik, the alternate CD has that feature | 01:36 |
| SirLinux | is the cd i've got from ubuntu | 01:36 |
| mkultra_ | i can actually do any DE i like its just 11 series was way way way too buggy for my tastes, especially the new kernel one | 01:37 |

| SirLinux | if i hit thr indtall about 4 guis ? | 01:41 |
| mkultra_ | dont know about 12, but i want my gnome working correctly | 01:41 |

| SirLinux | if you are talking about cd | 01:41 |
| mkultra_ | lol thats hideous ActionParsnip | 01:42 |
| _numbers | i cant get Super-W to do anything, but Super-S does | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bananstol: how is that ubuntu related | 01:42 |
| escott | raido_, yes | 01:42 |
| urlin2u | SirLinux, you don't use wubi's longterm nor do you upgrade them, at least not exspecting a solid system. | 01:42 |

| ActionParsnip | mkultra_: too dark, and too much going on | 01:43 |
| cfhowlett | urlin2u: one broken wubi taught me to quit fooling around and learn to dual-boot properly. Haven't had a boot problems since I made the switch. | 01:43 |
| escott | raido_, the only weakness i can imagine in that is someone who has physical access might install their own kernel that acts like a normal kernel but funnels all the data to their servers. but thats a weakness in truecrypt too. you just need a bios | 01:43 |
| mkultra_ | very dark for basement dungeon use | 01:43 |
| SirLinux | the thing is urlin2u , how i make this upgrade start | 01:43 |
| urlin2u | cfhowlett, the designer of wubi even says not to use it long term | 01:43 |
| SirLinux | i'm on ubuntu 11.04 right now, i want to go on 11.10 from that cd | 01:44 |
| stacks` | if i run the following, I get (on my screen) bash: (path): Permission denied ... which is fine, that is correct.. but how do i get the following to not even show that output? ---> if echo "This is a write test preformed by " $USER > /home/project/management/secure/ms.txt 2> /dev/null; then echo "Write Successful"; else echo "Write Unsuccessful"; fi | 01:44 |

| mkultra_ | and partition your hard drive for a /home storage drive so you can easily wipe the system in the future | 01:45 |
| _numbers | oh there's no minimize in unity? | 01:46 |
| SirLinux | u know what i'm gonna do, upgrade it directly from update manager | 01:46 |
| SirLinux | cd or update manager, is the same right ? | 01:46 |
| zenon_ | nice setup mkultra | 01:46 |
| mkultra_ | ty zenon_ | 01:47 |
| switchtech | SirLinux: you may just break it... make sure to backup | 01:47 |

| _Marcus | urlin2u: I am in CLI, I added the "text" parameter to Grub | 02:24 |
| dRounse | holstein: well both are pretty quiet and the server will be in a closet type room, its hard to explain but i wont hear it, but is celeron d ok for streaming movies and stuff or will it work too hard? the server chassis has four fans so heat wont be a problem | 02:24 |
| ModFather | switchtech: yes it is on the same network, same Datacenter, hosted on the same account at cloud servers RackSpaceCloud | 02:24 |
| jmoreira81 | ActionParsnip: gotcha.. | 02:24 |
| jmoreira81 | ActionParsnip: let me read that... | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | jmoreira81: if you can find out the command you run to get the app, you can just run the app via terminal and use x forwardig | 02:25 |
| damo22 | jmoreira81: you might not need vnc, if you just need to talk to mysql database from over the internet | 02:25 |
| jmoreira81 | ActionParsnip: thanks for you help… I have to log off; i'm at a starbucks and they're closing.. be back shortly | 02:25 |
| holstein | jmoreira81: http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/how-to-vpn-using-ssh/ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN maybe | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | jmoreira81: the app will run on the server side, but be displayed on your client | 02:25 |
| switchtech | ModFather: you hope so anyway... it may be their LAN/WAN setup screwing with you. May want to hit rackspace and query for "cluster" support... | 02:25 |
| _Marcus | ActionParsnip: How do I remove all the extra Gnome applications? | 02:25 |
| _Marcus | ActionParsnip: Without going through each one | 02:25 |
| jmoreira81 | ActionParsnip: I run all my databases from my ubuntu machine | 02:26 |
| singkong | i have install plexydesk and then what next to use ? | 02:26 |
| ModFather | switchtech : they will say again that will be problem from my side, how i can check if their LAN/WAN setup screwing with mine boxes? is any way to figure it out? | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | _Marcus: yes as it will make the others fail deps | 02:26 |
| escott | _Marcus, you could just remove the xserver and everything that depends on it should go away | 02:26 |
| _Marcus | ActionParsnip: So what do I do to just remove them? | 02:26 |
| dRounse | _Marcus: thats hard because some of them have dependencies that might mess with your OS | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | _Marcus: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 02:27 |
| _Marcus | dRounse: Oh well | 02:27 |
| _Marcus | ActionParsnip: It said it didn't remove anything | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | _Marcus: then remove more gnome stuffs. If you run: dpkg -l | grep gnome you can remove stuff | 02:29 |
| _Marcus | ActionParsnip: Can I do something like "sudo apt-get remove | dpkg -l | grep gnome"? | 02:30 |
| ActionParsnip | _Marcus: could try: sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep gnome` | 02:31 |
| Simon1245 | Hey guys, how can I change like shortcut keys, for example ctrl + C = Copy, is there any way to change it? | 02:31 |

| iceocean | hello, I have a file which is 60mb, I want to chop it off so that it is only 50mb (discarding the tail end of the file), is there an easy way to do this? | 02:32 |
| krispaul | Hello | 02:32 |
| krispaul | Wondering was the metapackage for the ubuntu desktop? | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: default is CTRL+ALT+D | 02:32 |
| jrib | iceocean: probably dd, cut, or split | 02:33 |
| jrib | iceocean: oh, check out "truncate" as well | 02:34 |
| iceocean | jrib, split should work well i think. thanks | 02:34 |
| iceocean | is split binary safe? | 02:34 |
| akSeya | guys, when configuring kernel, what could prevent "Flat Memory" to be shown on menuconfig > Kernel Features > Memory model ? | 02:34 |
| Simon1245 | ActionParsnip, thanks, is there any way to change it? | 02:35 |
| Simon1245 | ActionParsnip, Also is there any list where I can find all the shortcuts? | 02:36 |
| _Marcus | Simon1245: I'm sure ubottu has it but, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: in ccsm I believe its all there, in 12.04 if you hold SuperL down a while, you get the shortcuts displayed | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/unity-5-2-lands-in-precise-brings-numerous-changes/ | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: may help you too | 02:37 |
| Simon1245 | ActionParsnip, _Marcus, Thanks for the links | 02:37 |
| Simon1245 | ActionParsnip, by the way this 12.04 is released already or about to come? | 02:38 |
| _Marcus | !shortcuts | Simon1245 | 02:38 |
| ubottu | Simon1245: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: look at the version number, then think about the year ;) | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: its in Alpha2 now | 02:39 |
| Simon1245 | 11.10 = 2011 - august? | 02:39 |
| _Marcus | Yeah | 02:39 |
| Simon1245 | So 12.04 = April - 2012? | 02:39 |
| _Marcus | Yup | 02:40 |
| Simon1245 | Ah, I see :D Smart way of making it :D | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: 11.10 = 20(11) october (10)th month | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: makes sense, also easier to know when releases are EOL too | 02:40 |
| Simon1245 | opps my bad I said august lol :D | 02:40 |
| Simon1245 | Oh and they release a new release every 6th month? | 02:40 |
| Simon1245 | I used to use linux for like 2-3 years ago for testing and at that time I heard about it | 02:41 |
| skilz | I have a VERY VERY VERY ANNOYING problem with alsamixer, when I play a different song the volume raises to 100% each time and blasts my ears with headphones | 02:42 |
| Simon1245 | By the way what button is "Super" key? | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: windows key to you | 02:43 |
| mkultra_ | skilz, you need to set your default alsa mixing volume | 02:43 |
| Simon1245 | Oh | 02:43 |
| mkultra_ | mac key / windows key = "super key" | 02:43 |
| Simon1245 | By the way would it be possible to play Windows game on Linux? | 02:44 |
| mkultra_ | sometimes yes | 02:44 |
| mkultra_ | wine | 02:44 |
| Simon1245 | Is Wine easy to use? | 02:44 |
| mkultra_ | wine tricks installs steam for windows really good on linux, its a little slow for portal though | 02:44 |
| mkultra_ | depends upon what you would define as easy | 02:44 |
| mkultra_ | alt + f2 gnome-terminal | 02:45 |
| mkultra_ | wine dozesux.exe | 02:45 |
| mkultra_ | for your exe files | 02:45 |
| _Marcus | I don't really see why you would move over from Windows to Ubuntu for gaming purposes. | 02:45 |
| _Marcus | Wine is good, but it's not great | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | mkultra_: or press CTRL+ALT+T for easier terminal access | 02:45 |
| mkultra_ | then everythings in $HOME/.wine/drive_c | 02:45 |
| mkultra_ | ctrl alt t doesnt work for me | 02:46 |
| mkultra_ | im in xfce | 02:46 |
| Simon1245 | _Marcus, basically it fucked up today badly had virus and shit I removed it or something and the whole computer sort of shut down | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mkultra_: yeah it works there too.. | 02:46 |
| gogeta | mkultra_: what you trying to get to | 02:46 |
| mkultra_ | alt + f2 is distro agnostic | 02:46 |
| _Marcus | Simon1245: When there's a problem like that, install it again :D | 02:46 |
| mkultra_ | im explaining wine to people asking if its easy | 02:46 |
| Simon1245 | Now too lazy to reinstall Windows again so I was hopin gthat it would work to use every Windows thing on here | 02:46 |
| urlin2u | mkultra_, works in xfce for me. | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mkultra_: or install guake and use a shortcut button, like the console in Quake / HalfLife etc | 02:47 |
| mkultra_ | might be my keyboard | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: I'd look for open equivs | 02:47 |
| mkultra_ | yeah i have that bound to f12 | 02:47 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: you can try one lof those live cds with a vires scanner and try to clean it out but with todays nasty stuff you probly need to reformat the box | 02:47 |
| wessel | how should I execute this command? dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xxx bs=446 count=1 | 02:47 |
| mkultra_ | generic ubuntu NOOBS dont have all that | 02:47 |
| mkultra_ | they have alt + f2 gnome-terminal..... | 02:47 |
| wessel | I want the command to operate on my usb stick | 02:48 |
| mkultra_ | nautilus should do it | 02:48 |
| Simon1245 | gogeta, it's a laptop well, too lazy to do that and I don't even have the real recovery disk so I'm gonna lose all the vaio stuff and shit | 02:48 |
| mkultra_ | alt + f2 nautilus | 02:48 |
| Simon1245 | ActionParsnip, What's equivs? | 02:48 |
| crazydiamond | wessel: what do you want to do? | 02:48 |
| mkultra_ | should be able to dig through its settings to get the drive to show up | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Simon1245: equivelants | 02:48 |
| wessel | crazydiamond, remove grub | 02:48 |
| urlin2u | Simon1245, no recovery partition? | 02:48 |
| _Marcus | Simon1245: What brand of laptop? | 02:48 |
| crazydiamond | wessel: full format? | 02:48 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: go to the vio site after reformat dl all the drivers and stuff some even include the softwhere lost | 02:49 |
| wessel | Yes, that is possible | 02:49 |
| Simon1245 | _Marcus, Sony Vaio VPCEE41FX, | 02:49 |
| wessel | There are no important files on my USB stick | 02:49 |
| Kcharle | can anyone tell me why i dont have permissions to images my www folder when i go to it in the browser? | 02:49 |
| _Marcus | Simon1245: Ah. Most HP laptops(even desktops) come with backup hard drives | 02:49 |
| Simon1245 | urlin2u, Not sure honestly, it was on the computer that I could create a recovery disk but I didn't find it until it was like 1 hour left till I broke it.. I mean before breaking it | 02:49 |
| crazydiamond | use gparted or palimpsest | 02:49 |
| crazydiamond | wessel: use gparted or palimpsest | 02:50 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: yea if you have a backup partation many new machines do un less you removed it you can restore from there | 02:50 |
| urlin2u | Simon1245, if you bought it new and got no dvd for reinstall you have a recovery partition. | 02:50 |
| Simon1245 | _Marcus, Ah this one had installed you think it's accessable while restarting it? | 02:50 |
| Simon1245 | gogeta, How? | 02:50 |
| wessel | Will that remove grub? | 02:50 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: it should be a hotkey at boot it verys on the pc | 02:51 |
| Simon1245 | urlin2u, Ah, that's right I didn't get a dvd with it | 02:51 |
| Simon1245 | oh | 02:51 |
| _schism_ | question gentlemen and ladies. I was goofing around in 10.04 and installed wicd and of course the normal network thing went bye bye. if I uninstall wicd will the normal thing come back? | 02:51 |
| crazydiamond | wessel: full format will. you can delete all partitions. but notice that if you want to keep data you will need to copy it somewhere (all data will be deleted) | 02:51 |
| hiexpo | how can i detect what wireless driver i am currently using | 02:52 |
| urlin2u | Simon1245, you can probably recover it from a f8 prompt, but it will overwrite the main partition. | 02:52 |
| Simon1245 | Uhm let me come on my other laptop while I restart this one, see you soon | 02:52 |
| _Marcus | Simon1245: What? | 02:52 |
| Kcharle | can anyone tell me why i dont have permissions to images my www folder when i go to it in the browser? | 02:52 |
| skilz | mkultra_, How? | 02:52 |
| mkultra_ | what how | 02:52 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: normaly it will say witch key to hit for recovery mode | 02:52 |
| wessel | crazydiamond, there is no important data on my USB stick, I will attempt to use gparted to do a full format on my usb stick | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | _schism_: install network manager then remove wicd | 02:52 |
| jrib | Kcharle: well, what *are* the permissions | 02:52 |
| Kcharle | not sure kinda new to linux | 02:52 |
| skilz | mkultra_, How do I set a default alsamixer volume? | 02:52 |
| _schism_ | ActionParsnip, is it network-manager-gnome ? | 02:52 |
| Simon1245 | urlin2u, I was checking at F8 tried to enter the safemode thing didn't work | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | _schism_: sounds good to me :) | 02:53 |
| Simon1245 | gogeta, I'll look for it and hopefully find it :) | 02:53 |
| _schism_ | ActionParsnip, thank you sir | 02:53 |
| Kcharle | jrib: not sure kinda new to linux | 02:53 |
| _schism_ | ActionParsnip, installed wicd while trying some other desktops but its more hassel than its worth | 02:53 |
| urlin2u | Simon1245, not sure with this model safemode is not recovery though call the manufacturer if you want to do it is what I would do. | 02:53 |
| _schism_ | here goes | 02:54 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: the hotkey is normaly at the bios screen | 02:54 |
| Simon1245 | urlin2u, I would've done it the problem is that I bought this laptop in USA | 02:54 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: normaly f10 on vio | 02:54 |
| Simon1245 | I'm living in Sweden so that's a big problme | 02:54 |
| Simon1245 | Alright, restarting this computer, I'm on as Simon12455 on the other one | 02:55 |
| urlin2u | Simon1245, not sure what that means but okay. | 02:55 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: so turn on vio tap f10 it should go into recovery | 02:55 |
| _Marcus | urlin2u: He is restarting his computer, he wants you to refer to him as "Simon12455" | 02:55 |

| Xourii | Hello | 02:56 |
| wessel | crazydiamond, can I conclude from this screenshot that there was no grub located on my USB stick? http://s15.postimage.org/kzgkb6g95/image.png | 02:56 |
| wessel | or you can't see "boot records" or whatever the thing that grub lives in is called | 02:57 |
| urlin2u | wessel, mbr | 02:57 |
| mkultra_ | wessel, says 3 gigs used | 02:57 |

| wessel | urlin2u, I'm trying to completely clean a USB stick to get rid of grub | 02:59 |
| urlin2u | wessel, put a bootflag on the partition. | 02:59 |
| wessel | later I will attempt to put a windows installer on it yes | 02:59 |
| kalimojo | iks there an app that will play iso files ? | 02:59 |
| crazydiamond | wessel: it's a way also | 02:59 |
| urlin2u | wessel, how did you load the windows on the usb? | 02:59 |
| Simon12455 | mkultra_, not 412 either :(, gogeta doesn't say something | 02:59 |
| mkultra_ | alt + f2 gnome-terminal | 02:59 |
| Simon12455 | I've tried pressing every button :( | 03:00 |
| wessel | using some Microsoft program and a MSDN iso | 03:00 |
| mkultra_ | mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/cd | 03:00 |
| gogeta | Simon12455: i think for a vio you need to just keep hitting f10 | 03:00 |
| mkultra_ | need to make the dir cd first | 03:00 |
| mkultra_ | sudo mkdir /mnt/grbg | 03:00 |
| Simon12455 | gogeta, let me try | 03:00 |
| mkultra_ | sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/grbg | 03:00 |
| gogeta | Simon12455: just keep pecking it still it past the spalsh screen | 03:00 |
| mkultra_ | ls /mnt/grbg | 03:00 |
| urlin2u | wessel, is it W7 you want to load to the usb for a install? | 03:01 |
| Simon12455 | gogeta, still nothing | 03:01 |
| wessel | Yes | 03:01 |
| mkultra_ | then proceed to removing grub from the mounted flash drive | 03:01 |
| urlin2u | wessel, you don't have to remove grub | 03:01 |
| janderson91z | could someone help me with an issue? please | 03:01 |
| gogeta | Simon12455: try it with f11 and f12 then one of them is bound to be right | 03:01 |
| mkultra_ | say ur issue | 03:01 |
| urlin2u | mkultra_, ^^^ | 03:01 |
| wessel | urlin2u, if I don't grub will always load, and I don't have a clue how to launch the installer from within a grub console | 03:02 |
| Rurd2di | wats issue janderson91z? | 03:02 |
| gogeta | Simon12455: if you deleted the patation however this will not work | 03:02 |
| mkultra_ | wessel, your past boot time at that point | 03:02 |
| Simon12455 | gogeta, still nothing | 03:02 |
| urlin2u | wessel, not true but if you don't believe that is your perogative. | 03:02 |
| mkultra_ | you need to set it in your bios | 03:02 |
| janderson91z | i'm running ubuntu 11.10. i have two displays. i've installed the amd proprietary driver for my card. i've tried to set the second monitor to extend but when i do so the amd control center just closes out | 03:03 |
| Simon12455 | I doubt I've done that | 03:03 |
| mkultra_ | you need to set your boot order in bios wessel | 03:03 |
| janderson91z | i hit apply and the settings don't change, the program just closes | 03:03 |
| scanuks | can anyone suggest me a light linux netbook edition | 03:03 |
| gogeta | Simon12455: try it with f8 then | 03:03 |
| janderson91z | right now it's just mirroring on to the second display | 03:03 |
| wessel | mkultra_, I have set boot order to USB-ZIP, USB-HDD, USB-something else | 03:03 |
| wessel | I removed HDD from the boot order | 03:03 |
| gogeta | Simon12455: at vio splash screen | 03:03 |
| damo22 | wessel is it booting grub from the usb? | 03:03 |
| bazhang | scanuks, lubuntu | 03:03 |
| mkultra_ | run your program in a terminal to get debug messages | 03:03 |
| bazhang | !lubuntu > scanuks | 03:04 |
| wessel | yes it is booting the grub from the USB | 03:04 |
| ubottu | scanuks, please see my private message | 03:04 |
| wessel | At least that is what I think it is doing | 03:04 |
| urlin2u | wessel, I have done this many times if you want the correct info. | 03:04 |
| mkultra_ | ok so you got grub booting from your usb media then you gotta mount your drive and delete it | 03:04 |
| Simon12455 | gogeta, nothing :( | 03:04 |
| Simon12455 | gogeta, safemode and all that shit onyl :( | 03:04 |
| damo22 | wessel: you can boot straight into the windows installer from the grub on the usb | 03:04 |
| gogeta | Simon12455: then you must have removed it | 03:04 |
| bazhang | Simon12455, no cursing here please | 03:05 |
| scanuks | bazhang: i know but lubuntu is not good for my netbook screen | 03:05 |
| wessel | urlin2u, you have done what many times, run an installer from within grub console? | 03:05 |
| gogeta | Simon12455: your going to need to use a cd | 03:05 |
| urlin2u | wessel, no a w7 usb | 03:05 |
| Simon12455 | bazhang, sorry. | 03:05 |
| damo22 | wessel do you have this on another pc so we can boot into grub and still chat? | 03:05 |
| wessel | I have a w7 usb, but for some reason there is still grub on the w7 usb xD | 03:05 |
| scanuks | bazhang: any other suggestions ? | 03:05 |
| wessel | damo22, no | 03:06 |
| gogeta | Simon12455: your hitting these keys sevrel times correct i dont tink its a single press for a vio | 03:06 |
| janderson91z | anyone know what's going on? i posted my issue | 03:06 |
| urlin2u | wessel, it is really easy, so not sure what else to say. | 03:06 |
| bazhang | scanuks, you wanted light, how light did you mean? how much ram what cpu etc | 03:06 |
| Simon12455 | gogeta, Yeah pressed it a lot of times | 03:06 |
| Simon12455 | let me come back on ubuntu onto the IRC | 03:07 |
| scanuks | bazhang: ram 500 and cpu 1 core 1ghz | 03:07 |
| damo22 | wessel: one way is to zero the whole usb stick then partition it and reformat it, install the w7 installer on it | 03:07 |
| === chad is now known as Guest17782 | ||
| Simon1245 | gogeta, back | 03:07 |
| wessel | damo22, that was my plan, but I'm fine with typing some command in a grub console | 03:07 |
| bazhang | scanuks, you could try xubuntu, but with that minimal amount of ram it would not be snappy, thus my suggestion of lubuntu | 03:08 |
| urlin2u | damo22, you don't have to zero the drive | 03:08 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: you should have made cds before messing with your partations | 03:08 |
| damo22 | wessel: the commands you need depend on the layout of grubs drives | 03:08 |
| scanuks | bazhang: yes but i already said my screen doesnt match lubuntu :( | 03:08 |
| gogeta | Simon1245: any pcs with recovery partations has that option | 03:08 |
| dalek_ | how do I change the default action when an audio CD is inserted? How do I make ubuntu ask me what to do when I insert an audio CD? | 03:08 |
| mr_crunchy | hey guys | 03:08 |

| damo22 | wessel: but if you use root (hd<TAB><TAB> it will print a list of possible hds | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | epiccyndaquil: so when the apps run you DON'T want them to appear there? | 03:13 |
| urlin2u | ActionParsnip, you have that link for W7 loads to a thumb? | 03:13 |
| bazhang | scanuks, lubuntu and other variants adjust to the eeepc screen automatically quite well | 03:13 |
| damo22 | wessel, then you can insert the correct number, and follow with a comma, then tab again to get partitions | 03:13 |
| _Marcus | scanuks: What processor do Eee PCs use | 03:13 |
| epiccyndaquil | ActionParsnip: no, I don't use Banshee, so I don't want it to appear when I adjust the volume. I don't use thunderbird, so I don't want it to appear there. Same for Empathy. | 03:14 |
| gogeta | scanuks: btrfs is very broken atm use ext2 otherwise lubuntu works awsome | 03:14 |

| piomic | hi guys i would like to install ubuntu 12.04 alternate daily build torrent this is this image ~700mb?? | 05:16 |
| Snowman_ | I hooked up the USB mouse to a PS/2 adapter just to check. | 05:16 |
| Argus33 | forget it | 05:17 |
| urlin2u | piomic, look at the daily build and it will tell you. | 05:17 |
| piomic | ok but im looking for torent version:) | 05:18 |
| piomic | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ | 05:18 |
| urlin2u | piomic, there the sma eif there is one. | 05:18 |
| scar3crow | is there a server image somewhere yet? | 05:19 |
| Snowman_ | Log says something like USB HC takeover failed. | 05:19 |
| overclucker | piomic: youre looking for a torrent for something released every day? | 05:19 |
| pnorman | Snowman_: what does uname -r say? | 05:21 |
| Snowman_ | What is -r? | 05:21 |
| pnorman | gives you the kernel version | 05:21 |
| MK` | Will my ubuntu one account work for launchpad or is it separate? | 05:22 |
| Snowman_ | In the syslog? | 05:23 |
| Snowman_ | 9.395992 | 05:23 |
| pnorman | no - just run it in a terminal | 05:23 |
| Snowman_ | Didn't work | 05:24 |
| pnorman | Odd, I was expecting something like "3.0.0-14-server" | 05:24 |
| pnorman | try uname -a | 05:24 |
| Snowman_ | 3.0.0-12 | 05:25 |
| Snowman_ | generic | 05:25 |
| Snowman_ | i686 i386 | 05:25 |
| pnorman | Updating the kernel *might* help | 05:26 |
| Snowman_ | Ok I will have to quite chat for a bit to do that. I will be back. | 05:26 |
| pnorman | Snowman_: what I found indicates that if updating the kernel doesn't fix it, there's not much to be done | 05:27 |
| Snowman_ | How do I update the kenel? Just run the updates? | 05:27 |
| pnorman | It's with apt, but not done automatically and the syntax escapes me right now | 05:27 |
| Snowman_ | Is it this sudo apt-get update? | 05:28 |

| soulf_ | overclucker, apparently in gnome3 gconf is replaced by dconf which can be accessed through the dconf-editor; I could find the nautilus settings but there doesn't seem to be anything related to the wallpaper, the theme, or icons (except specific icons within nautilus or some fading option for the background). I browsed through other options but there doesn't seem to be anything related to or relevant for my problem. :/ | 05:35 |

| bobenhaus | hola | 05:42 |
| bobenhaus | Question: How do default the unity sidebar? | 05:43 |
| urlin2u | bobenhaus, could you be more succinct. | 05:44 |
| escott | soulf_, unlike gconf it seems that options dont exist until they are changed. in gconf you always had the schema to fall back on but in dconf you dont. but often you can just set the gconf key and it seems to work | 05:44 |
| bobenhaus | anyone know how to reset unity ? | 05:47 |
| superdave321 | how do I make a source trusted? there are some updates that my computer just won't download... | 05:47 |
| riff | helloz | 05:51 |
| urlin2u | superdave321, you geting key missing or not good in the terminal. | 05:51 |
| superdave321 | actually using the update gui, but i do have a key missing in a different repo... | 05:52 |
| urlin2u | superdave321, a terminal update will tell you run this if you get a key problem. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys "key here" | 05:55 |
| === dan__ is now known as Guest20006 | ||
| soulf_ | escott, what do you mean "just set the gconf key"? How would I do that? | 05:56 |
| superdave321 | where do I get the "key here" part? | 05:56 |
| urlin2u | bobosomfan, unity --reset or unity --replace I forget which one | 05:57 |
| urlin2u | bobosomfan, no sudo | 05:57 |

| riff | !ot ylzhao | 05:58 |
| urlin2u | superdave321, run a update in the terminal use the key mentioned in the key here | 05:58 |
| superdave321 | I'm guessing apt-get update? | 05:59 |
| urlin2u | superdave321, yeah sudo apt-get update don't do this in root | 05:59 |
| superdave321 | riff you have to use a '|' inbetween command and username... | 05:59 |
| superdave321 | urlin2u isn't that what sudo does... | 06:00 |
| urlin2u | superdave321, yeah but some people like to just access root to do stuff when not needed, just a precautionary. | 06:00 |
| superdave321 | ahh. ok. gotcha. will do. | 06:01 |
| urlin2u | superdave321, the apt-get update just triggered a red flag. | 06:01 |
| superdave321 | ? | 06:01 |
| urlin2u | superdave321, like I said we get people on here running root all the time we never know. :) | 06:02 |
| escott | soulf_, i would (a) try using gconf-editor it might still work. if it doesnt then use dconf-editor but create the key and directory based on what you see in gconf-editor schemas (alternately use gsettings cli to create and set the value) | 06:02 |
| superdave321 | urlin2u: gotcha | 06:02 |
| bobenhaus | anyon know the apt command to completely reinstall unity? | 06:03 |
| jschall | is there an ubuntu tablet available? | 06:03 |
| bobenhaus | !unity | 06:03 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 06:03 |
| urlin2u | bobenhaus, can you tell us your problem that might help. | 06:03 |
| soulf_ | escott, alright thanks, (b) it is :) | 06:03 |
| bobenhaus | urlin2u: I uninstalled it because was not working probably and now I need to reinstall it | 06:03 |
| urlin2u | you been tweaking compiz? bobenhaus | 06:04 |
| bobenhaus | urlin2u: yeah and it screwed up my unity | 06:04 |
| bobenhaus | nomore unity for me | 06:04 |

| bobenhaus | urlin2u" from softare manager but all my icons are gone now | 06:06 |
| hiexpo | oops | 06:06 |
| urlin2u | bobenhaus, the ubuntu software center | 06:06 |
| bobenhaus | urlin2u: I need to know the command to bring it up in terminal since I have no icons to launch it :) | 06:07 |
| bobenhaus | anyone know the terminal command to launch the software manager? | 06:07 |
| bobenhaus | !software manager | 06:07 |
| urlin2u | bobenhaus, right but without some back info I can't help. | 06:08 |
| hiexpo | you mean synaptic | 06:08 |
| bobenhaus | urlin2u: do you know the command to bring up the softare manager in a terminal window? | 06:09 |
| skilz | bobenhaus, software-manager | 06:09 |
| urlin2u | bobenhaus, I asked if that was the ubuntu software center another asked if synaptic, can you like answer questions | 06:10 |
| hiexpo | no command for that bobenhaus > why you want it a terminal ? | 06:10 |
| bobenhaus | its the ubuntu software manager | 06:10 |
| skilz | apt-cache search and apt-get install | 06:10 |
| urlin2u | bobenhaus, to be honest you cart before the horse got you here and is hidering any help. | 06:10 |
| bobenhaus | nevermind I will figure it out myself. | 06:11 |
| damo22 | how do i purge all packages that are provided by a metapackage? | 06:13 |
| bobenhaus | this is all I wanted but you didnt understand: sudo software-center --enable-lp | 06:14 |
| urlin2u | bobenhaus, we understood you are just not working in a logical manner by asking for help. | 06:14 |
| urlin2u | by=in | 06:15 |
| bobenhaus | I asked you several times how to bring up the software manager from with in the terminal? How hard was it to understand? | 06:15 |
| bobenhaus | I | 06:15 |
| urlin2u | bobenhaus, you did not know the unity was aplug in in compiz you could of fixed that desktop broken with a reset there. | 06:16 |
| bobenhaus | I'm still new to ubuntu so now going to know all commands or words | 06:16 |
| bobenhaus | I could of just reinstalled ubuntu from scratch but I wanted to learn instead of starting over when I make mistakes | 06:17 |
| urlin2u | bobenhaus, being new is fine but it was obvious you were kind of lost I don't just give info to lost users who broke there set up without some info. | 06:17 |
| superdave321 | urlin2u: thanks for the tips! problem resolved! | 06:17 |
| urlin2u | superdave321, cool. :) | 06:17 |
| bobenhaus | urlin2u: no biggie.. I got it working now. thanks | 06:17 |

| superdave321 | disk utility? | 06:22 |

| overclucker | sixple: you can right click mount it, mount -o loop disk.sio /mount/point | 06:23 |
| soulf_ | hey all, the wallpaper, gtk-theme, and icons that I set don't load. Instead, a blue background and ugly fallback theme with default icons load. The rest works fine (i.e. the shell theme loads correctly, the fonts display correctly, effects work etc.) Changing the settings causes nothing (whether in gnome-tweak-tool or the standard appearance menu not matter what theme or wallpaper I select...) This happened after I installed KDE. I al | 06:23 |
| soulf_ | ready looked at the dconf-tool and the settings there reflect those of the gnometweaktool and changing them changes nothing. Any ideas? | 06:23 |
| overclucker | sixple: right click mount it OR ... | 06:24 |
| sixple | overclucker thanks | 06:24 |
| sun_devil | I have a directory and need to change the owner back to root with chown and I also need to use chown for permissions | 06:30 |
| jschall | is there an ubuntu tablet available yet? | 06:31 |
| urlin2u | jschall, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/ubuntu-tablet-to-compete-with-android-ios/ | 06:33 |
| sun_devil | a chown permission of 770 | 06:34 |
| escott | sun_devil, chown doesnt change permission bits it changes ownership. chmod changes the permission bits | 06:35 |
| sun_devil | Ok, how would you change owner back to root with chown | 06:36 |
| escott | !man | sun_devil | 06:36 |
| ubottu | sun_devil: 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/ | 06:36 |
| escott | sun_devil, chown [OPTION]... [OWNER][:[GROUP]] FILE.. | 06:37 |
| sun_devil | I tried chown root:account root | 06:38 |
| escott | sun_devil, why are you trying to change the group to "account" and is the file really named "root" | 06:38 |
| phibxr | sun_devil, what are you trying to change the ownership of? | 06:38 |
| sun_devil | my group is called account but I by mistake changed the owner | 06:39 |
| escott | sun_devil, it would be chown root filename or chown root:root filename or chown root:someothergroup filename | 06:39 |
| sun_devil | what does the blue color mean, directory? | 06:43 |
| ztag100 | Could anyone let me know why this happens? | 06:43 |
| ztag100 | http://imgur.com/ExcLs | 06:43 |
| Dr_willis | try a ls -l and see. the colors can differ depending on the terminal app. | 06:43 |
| Dr_willis | ztag100: you could at least aummarize the problem | 06:44 |
| ztag100 | Dr_willis, I mean the background in conky | 06:44 |
| ztag100 | it is supposed to be transparent | 06:44 |
| ztag100 | but instead, it's that | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | as for conky - try restarting it. with some differnt config settings. try some example config files also. | 06:45 |
| sun_devil | will not let me change the root | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | Your terminal has a differnt wallpaper then your desktop? | 06:46 |
| escott | sun_devil, unprivileged users cant just chown files to root | 06:46 |
| sun_devil | I am root, want to change the owner back to root | 06:47 |
| Dr_willis | sun_devil: so what command are you using exactly? | 06:47 |
| sun_devil | Sorry I did it | 06:47 |
| sun_devil | did a chown root:account acctsrecv | 06:48 |
| escott | sun_devil, and what error message did it give you | 06:49 |
| sun_devil | none, the root is owner, account is group and not sure what acctsrecv is but did a ls -l and it looks good | 06:50 |
| Dr_willis | not sure wat acctrecv is? thats the file you are working on... | 06:51 |
| Dr_willis | are we doing some homework exersize? | 06:51 |
| sun_devil | trying to understand the file system and its like trying to learn a foreign language | 06:52 |
| escott | !permissions | sun_devil | 06:52 |
| ubottu | sun_devil: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 06:52 |
| Dr_willis | I found it rather straight forward compared to how windows does permssions. | 06:52 |
| sun_devil | Never had to use permissions on windows | 06:52 |
| Dr_willis | Theres some more advanced things you can do with linux fs's that i rarely touch. (ACL's and so forth) but the basics are rather straight forward | 06:52 |
| Dr_willis | You are lucky then. | 06:52 |
| Dr_willis | Having to right with them getting set wrong all the time on win7 | 06:53 |
| Dr_willis | fight. | 06:53 |
| escott | Dr_willis, windows has permissions? unless you mean that dialog with 14 tabs where you end up selecting everything because otherwise nothing works | 06:53 |
| sun_devil | VMware is a great idea to trying this stuff out on | 06:53 |
| Dr_willis | escott: and you discover a dozen users that seem tobe 100 didgit clsid #'s | 06:53 |
| sun_devil | In windows it the configurations that nobody touches | 06:54 |
| Dr_willis | ive had to touch them due to windows screwing them up. | 06:55 |
| Fudge | hi i am trying to mount an hfs partition on an osx drive, /dev only lists sdc but fdisk -l lists sdc1 and an empty sdc2, how can i mount it if dev doesnt show sdc1 | 06:55 |
| escott | Dr_willis, my favorite was when the auditing group at our bank got pissed because the traders had rw access to the risk control stuff so we sent a very carefully filled out form to the filesystem specialist saying exactly how the permissions needed to be, waited for them to say it was done, and then a week later i find that the traders still have access | 06:55 |
| Dr_willis | I rarely ever need to mess with groups in linux really... | 06:55 |
| escott | Fudge, fyi you won't be able to get rw without disabling journaling on hfs+ | 06:56 |
| Dr_willis | small home lans... gotta love them | 06:56 |
| sun_devil | Well just something you should know and you only use it once | 06:56 |
| Fudge | escott i have read that but im trying to mount it to fix something | 06:56 |
| skilz | How can I change the direction windows minimize, I want them to go up not down since I have my toolbar up the top of my screen | 06:57 |
| escott | so the thing that is weird in your description is the use of fdisk. shouldn't a mac partition be on a gpt disk. in which case why are you seeing anything with fdisk? | 06:57 |
| Fudge | fdisk does say its gpt yes | 06:57 |
| sixple | why am i getting this error message: You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///media/GAMES/DS%20Games" | 06:57 |
| Dr_willis | skilz: you could check the ccsm tools settings. but be carefull with that tool. | 06:58 |
| escott | sixple, because you dont have write permissions on /media/Games/DS Games | 06:58 |
| Fudge | escott the drive was installed on another computer and put into this box after a while, so osx isnt loading i guess hardware cahnges, but i cant read the errors or try to fix it when booting into osx so thought i may be able to do something if i mount it, guess not | 06:58 |
| sixple | but why | 06:58 |
| Dr_willis | simplexio: what filesystem is that Games disk using? this is a usb? a hard drive? | 06:59 |
| escott | sixple, hard to say without more details. what kind of file system is /media/GAMES | 06:59 |
| sixple | its a micro SD card | 06:59 |
| escott | Fudge, is this an old version of linux that doesnt understand gpt? is it listed in /proc/partitions | 07:00 |
| cadz | how do i get in to the control panel | 07:00 |
| escott | sixple, does the microsd or its adapter have a read only toggle? (its a physical switch) and is it set to rw? | 07:00 |
| Dr_willis | Top right gear/thing icon has menu to get to some settings. | 07:00 |
| sixple | its got 'lock' but its not toggled to the 'lock' position | 07:01 |
| Dr_willis | ive seen where removeable vfat/ntfs get mounted in such a way that the user needs root access to get to them fully. You can run the 'ntfs-config' tool to tweak the system so all users have full rights to them | 07:02 |
| Dr_willis | plug it in., see if root can write to it from the terminal, check 'mount' output to see what its mounted options are. | 07:02 |
| Dr_willis | You could also just copy the files to your home, and extract them there. :) | 07:03 |

| Dr_willis | diuneigh: you could put the proper swap on command in /etc/rc.local but there may be better ways. | 07:21 |
| Dr_willis | 'swapon' | 07:21 |
| diuneigh | I used fstap before.. but I forgot.. | 07:21 |

| vitamin{ | oh lol, thanks. What is the name of the open source driver then? | 07:24 |
| Dr_willis | other url says use fstab entry like ---> /extraswap none swap sw 0 0 | 07:24 |
| srini | I need to improve Audio quality... Any other appliation is need to install ?? | 07:24 |
| Dr_willis | FGLRX is theclosed source driver.. ati or radeon is the GPL one. | 07:25 |

| gerzel | Q: I have Ubuntu 11.04 and am running gnome 2 and am wondering what will happen when I hit the upgrade button for 11.10. Will my system be put into gnome3 style or will I still have my panel bars as I've set them up previously? | 08:13 |
| auronandace | gerzel: gnome2 will likely disappear | 08:14 |
| dooglus | gerzel: I upgraded my gf's 11.04 to 11.10 today and it messed quite a lot of stuff up | 08:14 |
| auronandace | gerzel: i suggest moving to xfce | 08:14 |
| gerzel | dang | 08:14 |
| dooglus | auronandace: she was using xfce. the upgrade switched her to unity | 08:14 |
| auronandace | dooglus: if she was using ubuntu and installed xfce after then upgrade i can understand why | 08:15 |
| Chipzzz | does anyone know how i can modify an entry in unity's app menu? | 08:15 |
| gerzel | so it will mess things up with my settings. I also have a dual monitor set-up | 08:15 |
| auronandace | dooglus: if she was using xubuntu and upgraded she wouldn't get unity | 08:15 |
| dooglus | auronandace: it's an ubuntu install | 08:15 |
| auronandace | dooglus: there you go then | 08:16 |
| dooglus | auronandace: she installed xfce, switched to it, then the installed switched to unity | 08:16 |
| dooglus | the upgrade | 08:16 |
| auronandace | gerzel: from 11.10 onwards gnome2 is no longer supported, find an alternative or adapt to unity or gnome3 | 08:17 |
| robin0800 | gerzel: gnome3 classic is quite good IMHO | 08:21 |
| gerzel | robin: Looking into it. I don't like xfce nor kde. | 08:21 |

| hotring | Hello, I installed dockbarx on my ubuntu natty but I cant see it in the panel list! | 08:40 |
| cfhowlett | !patience|hotring | 08:40 |
| ubottu | hotring: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 08:40 |
| kalimojo | im on 11.10. how do i upgrade to 12.04 and will i still be able to use gnome | 08:41 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntu+1|kalimjoj | 08:41 |
| ubottu | kalimjoj: Precise Pangolin is the codename for Ubuntu 12.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 08:41 |
| cfhowlett | !ubuntu+1|kalimojo | 08:41 |
| ubottu | kalimojo: Precise Pangolin is the codename for Ubuntu 12.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 08:41 |
| auronandace | hotring: what is dockbarx and how did you install it? | 08:42 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: have you tried cairo-dock? | 08:43 |
| hotring | no Chipzzz i have not tried cairo dock I wanted something like windows 7 taskbar so I went for dockbarx | 08:44 |
| yao_ziyuan | how do i see which processes are using the hard disk most heavily now? | 08:45 |
| yao_ziyuan | i'm hearing intensive hard disk activity | 08:45 |
| mikem94590 | What does updating to kernel 3.2.5 on Oneiric entail? | 08:45 |
| kalimojo | what log do incorrect logins go to ? | 08:45 |
| cfhowlett | yao_ziyuan: top | 08:45 |
| Chipzzz | It's up to you but i just watched a video about dockbarx and cairo seems nicer looking and more flexible... but to each is own :-) | 08:46 |
| auronandace | mikem94590: losing support here | 08:46 |
| yao_ziyuan | cfhowlett: i only see memory in 'top' | 08:46 |
| mikem94590 | Haha | 08:46 |
| mikem94590 | I've had to run Windows for like a month now after my old laptop died | 08:46 |
| hotring | Chipzzz, ohh but I love dockbarx, can you tell me how do I add it to startup? | 08:46 |
| pnorman | yao_ziyuan: iotop is what I use. not sure if it's installed by default | 08:46 |
| mikem94590 | Bought this new one and got stuck with power regression issues | 08:46 |
| mikem94590 | Heard that kernel 3.2.5 fixed that | 08:47 |
| auronandace | !kernel | mikem94590 | 08:47 |
| ubottu | mikem94590: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 08:47 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: it doesn't show up in 'startup programs'? | 08:47 |
| yao_ziyuan | pnorman: thx | 08:48 |
| mikem94590 | Is 3.2.5 in repos? | 08:48 |
| pnorman | APT is telling me that "The following packages have been kept back", how do I upgrade those packages | 08:48 |
| cool | machine freezes for couple seconds & then works & then again freezes. this cycle goes on on a infinite lopp. In logs, I get "device reported invalid sector 0". logs: https://gist.github.com/1807351 what is wrong? | 08:49 |
| Yabden | if packages are being kept back, check your sources.list for pinning | 08:49 |
| Yabden | or rather, your preferences file | 08:49 |
| pnorman | Yabden: they're the linux-server, linux-headers-server and linux-image-server packages | 08:50 |
| auronandace | mikem94590: no, if there is a ppa of it you could use that (ppas are also not supported here) | 08:50 |
| mikem94590 | Alrighty | 08:50 |
| mikem94590 | I appreciate the insight | 08:50 |
| mikem94590 | Thanks for your time :) | 08:50 |
| auronandace | mikem94590: no worries :) | 08:51 |
| cfhowlett | hotring: also see AWN dock | 08:51 |
| mikem94590 | Perhaps I'll just wait for 12.04 | 08:51 |
| pnorman | Yabden: Where would the preferences file be? | 08:51 |
| Jordan_U | pnorman: Normally this shouldn't happen unless you're using ppas or other third party repositories (or a development version of Ubuntu). | 08:52 |
| mikem94590 | Hmm | 08:52 |
| mikem94590 | http://askubuntu.com/questions/98602/will-final-version-of-12-04-use-the-power-management-changes-found-in-kernel-3-3 | 08:52 |
| mikem94590 | Looks like that fixes my problem :) | 08:53 |
| hotring | Chipzzz I think I found the executable file for dockbarx in /usr/bin folder and I ran it, the taskbar works, can you now tell me how do I add it to startup list? | 08:53 |
| pnorman | Jordan_U: linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server aren't from any of the PPAs I use, and I'm just running 11.10 server, nothing special | 08:53 |
| Jordan_U | pnorman: It's often not the packages from the ppa which are held back, but rather conflics in ppa packages cause non-ppa packes not to be upgradable. | 08:54 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: in a terminal type, "gnome-session-properties" | 08:54 |
| pnorman | How would I identify the conflicts? | 08:54 |
| hotring | well, awn looks promising cfhowlett, but can you tell me how to I add dockbarx to startup? i have never added any program to startup. | 08:54 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: i just told you above | 08:55 |
| hotring | then | 08:55 |
| Jordan_U | pnorman: Try running "sudo apt-get install linux-image-server" to see why that particular packages is being held back. It may be that all you need to do is run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" though, which may propose to remove some packages (you'll need to decide if they are packages you care about). | 08:55 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: then check dockbarx | 08:55 |
| === Resistance is now known as EvilResistance | ||
| pnorman | Ah, dist-upgrade is what I was thinking of | 08:56 |
| hotring | dockbarx is not there, should I select it from /usr/bin? | 08:56 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: yes. click "Add" and make a launcher for it | 08:57 |
| hotring | ok I added it, now since I use natty, can I replace the panel with this dockbarx? | 08:57 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: i don't think so, but you can auto-hide the panel | 08:58 |
| robin0800 | hotring: usr/share/applications perhaps | 08:58 |
| hotring | Chipzzz can you tell me how to auto-hide this panel? | 08:59 |

| hotring | Chipzzz, I used to love rainmeter in windows and modified a lot of skins in rainmeter so I was just asking whether modifying screenlets is as easy as modifying rainmeter skins | 09:10 |
| hotring | ?? | 09:13 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: rainmeter looks really nice but i don't know much about its internals... applets are usually only a few hundred lines of python and fairly easy to modify, though, given a little thought | 09:13 |
| Walther | Iirc, rainmeter is a config madness | 09:14 |
| hotring | ohh, incase you have screenlets, can I see their snapshots plz? | 09:14 |

| ejv | oCean: sounds... arcane. | 09:21 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | Ok thanks EvilResistance: I have been looking around for best practices about DocumentRoot on Apache or Nginx. I seem to see people recommend to leave it at /srv/www/ and others in your home directory! What is the recommend setup? | 09:21 |
| ejv | arcane/archaic :-) | 09:21 |
| ^Blackflowers^ | Hi, i'm looking into ubuntu to install on my other computer. I am looking to use it mainly to serve files and host some web sites could I just use ubuntu and not ubuntu-server? | 09:22 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: bear in mind that it's highly configurable and can run in quite a few different configurations | 09:22 |
| EvilResistance | PeoplesAdvocate, i use /var/www, another admin i know uses /home/webuser/public_html/, it really depends on your setup. If you want pure default, /var/www/ is a safe bet. | 09:22 |
| ejv | ^Blackflowers^: my understanding is that server is more stripped down (no desktop environment for example) than the normal desktop ubuntu iso | 09:22 |
| hotring | ohhhhh its niceeee | 09:23 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: :-) | 09:23 |
| oCean | ^Blackflowers^: sure, because you can install any available software (in the repositories) on both the -server and -desktop editions | 09:23 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: highly recommended | 09:23 |
| ejv | ^Blackflowers^: so you may, in fact, *prefer* ubuntu server, from a security standpoint no less | 09:23 |
| sissi | ciao | 09:23 |
| ^Blackflowers^ | Okay. | 09:24 |
| ejv | ^Blackflowers^: installation from server will be a tad bit different than the desktop version. the ubuntu server install can only be described as ... DOS-ish, for lack of a better adjective. Of course you can, at a later time, choose to install a desktop environment like KDE, Gnome, etc. | 09:25 |
| nightcrow | guys.. can someone please help me | 09:26 |
| nightcrow | can someone please tell me how i can add a user to use a specific application that can only be run as root | 09:26 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | EvilResistance, I don't mind leaving it on default since I am the only one on my VPS at this time. But if i get a few friends wanting to host their own I would rather have them jailed to their home directories. If i set it up for the DocumentRoot to be at home directories in a folder (public_html) wont i have a problem with the webserver writing to the directories. (ex. wordpress creating a file) | 09:26 |
| nightcrow | i have added her to /etc/group | 09:26 |

| EvilResistance | PeoplesAdvocate, chown the folder so www-data group (or whatever group your webserver runs as, probably www-data) has access, it shouldnt be a problem, if i remember right. | 09:28 |
| nightcrow | thank you ejv ill have a read through that | 09:28 |
| oCean | nightcrow: you can temporarily elevate privileges by using 'sudo', this can also be used to delegate certain privileges to a specifc user | 09:28 |
| oCean | !sudo | nightcrow | 09:28 |
| ubottu | nightcrow: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 09:28 |
| ejv | it mentions sudo in the file permissions guide, fyi | 09:29 |
| ejv | he just needs to read it heh | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | oCean: i know about sudo, but i dont want to give her that kind of power | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | she isnt a sudoer | 09:29 |
| oCean | ejv, nightcrow file permissions won't help you | 09:29 |
| astroboy81 | Guys, help me. I can't change all value on dconf-editor. Using 11.10 | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | i just want her to be able to use apt-mirror as she likes | 09:29 |
| oCean | nightcrow: the proper way is to use sudo for that | 09:29 |
| ^Blackflowers^ | ejv ah, well as long as it works i'm for trying. gui is a little important to me, the sites i'm hosting don't get much traffic i use them for practice. | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | oCean: why? | 09:29 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | ok thanks EvilResistance, gonna go configure it in the home directory then. :D | 09:29 |
| nightcrow | oCean: but if i give her sudo, then she can do whatever she wants | 09:29 |
| oCean | nightcrow: you don't need to give her access to all commands, just configure sudo so that she can execute the command you want | 09:30 |
| oCean | nightcrow: no | 09:30 |
| ejv | i won't pretend to understand wth he's doing, but it sounds like a permissions issue heh | 09:30 |
| nightcrow | oCean: how can i do that? | 09:30 |
| nightcrow | ejv: i want to give a specific user the ability to use apt-mirror | 09:30 |
| oCean | nightcrow: read the sudo documentation - you can give access to one single command | 09:30 |
| nightcrow | ejv: without giving her sudo | 09:30 |
| nightcrow | ok, oCean ill check it out | 09:30 |
| hotring | hey Chipzzz you have some custom conky scripts that I can try ? | 09:30 |
| === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk | ||

| kalimojo | crontab just hangs | 09:32 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: no, I just use it as it came out of the box... mostly, i use htop, though | 09:32 |
| hotring | ohh ok Chipzzz | 09:33 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: b/t/w htop is also highly recommended as opposed to top | 09:34 |
| Guest55659 | ciao | 09:34 |
| Guest55659 | !list | 09:35 |

| oCean | nightcrow: sudoers is very powerful, but might seem a little complicated, have a read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers (also has useful examples) | 09:35 |
| hotring | i have heard this htop before i dont seem to remember Chipzzz can you refresh me a bit | 09:35 |
| nightcrow | oCean: i did this: ayeletw ALL=/usr/bin/apt-mirror | 09:35 |
| nightcrow | but it still doesnt work | 09:35 |
| nightcrow | oCean: i get this: ouch: cannot touch `/var/spool/apt-mirror/var/apt-mirror.lock': Permission denied | 09:35 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: it's like conky but runs in a terminal and is nicer to look at | 09:36 |
| ejv | nightcrow: %mySuperHeroes ALL=(ALL) /usr/bin/apt-mirror * , possibly... | 09:36 |
| nightcrow | ahh, ok | 09:36 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: "sudo apt-get install htop" gets it for you | 09:36 |
| hotring | ohh yes Chipzzz similar to sensors i guess | 09:36 |
| nightcrow | ejv: ill try that | 09:36 |
| oCean | nightcrow: be careful when editing sudoers file, always use visudo command | 09:36 |
| nightcrow | why? | 09:36 |
| nightcrow | why cant I use pico? | 09:37 |
| ejv | i use nano personally, im just very careful | 09:37 |
| oCean | ejv: it's not a matter of trial-and-error | 09:37 |
| ejv | because you can lock yourself out of root privelege if you botch the file badly | 09:37 |
| hotring | thanks Chipzzz | 09:37 |
| oCean | ejv: visudo uses nano too | 09:37 |
| oCean | (if that is your default editor) | 09:37 |
| nightcrow | oCean: would this worrk? | 09:37 |
| nightcrow | ALL=(ALL) /usr/bin/apt-mirror * | 09:37 |
| nightcrow | ? | 09:37 |
| Chipzzz | hotring: is isn't eyecandy like sensors, but it's very useful when you have system issues to troubleshoot... glad i could help :-) | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | nightcrow: visudo actually uses nano by default on Ubuntu. The name is a bit misleading, it's not an editor so much as a tool for making editing of /etc/sudoers safer, using the preffered editor on the system. | 09:38 |
| nightcrow | i see | 09:38 |
| nightcrow | thank you Jordan_U | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | nightcrow: You're welcome. | 09:38 |
| ejv | werd | 09:38 |
| nightcrow | oCean: Jordan_U would ejv's command work? | 09:38 |
| hotring | ohh | 09:38 |
| nightcrow | oCean scared me with his "it isnt trial and error" comment :) | 09:39 |
| ejv | guess i fly by the seat of my pants | 09:39 |
| astroboy81 | Guys, help me. I can't change all value on dconf-editor. I'm using Oneiric. What should I do. Thanx before | 09:39 |
| ejv | i use the asterisk to denote infinite trailing arguments given to apt-mirror | 09:39 |
| nightcrow | oCean: ejv: that syntax didnt work | 09:40 |
| oCean | nightcrow: again, there are very useful examples in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers, please read it to understand what you are doing (the examples are for the shutdown commands) | 09:40 |
| nightcrow | ok | 09:40 |

| krosswindz | I was wondering if someone can answer my question regarding building python for Hardy | 09:40 |
| krosswindz | I am trying to compile python 2.6.7 | 09:40 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: what are you trying to change? | 09:40 |
| ejv | like if i were doing mysql, i'd do %mySuperHeroes ALL=(ALL) /usr/bin/service mysql * | 09:40 |
| ejv | so I could give it restart, stop, etc. | 09:40 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: icon-theme, gtk-theme | 09:41 |
| krosswindz | Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: | 09:41 |
| krosswindz | bsddb185 linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev | 09:41 |
| krosswindz | sunaudiodev | 09:41 |
| nightcrow | thank you all | 09:41 |
| krosswindz | I was wondering what additional dependency I need to install to get rid of missing bits for linuxaudiodev and ossaudiodev | 09:41 |
| ejv | nightcrow: what worked for you? | 09:42 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: try ccsm | 09:42 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: but I realize that I can't change all values :( | 09:42 |
| nightcrow | ejv: nothing yet | 09:42 |
| nightcrow | :) | 09:42 |
| nightcrow | still reading and testing | 09:42 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: I'll try using CCSM | 09:42 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: that should work | 09:42 |
| ejv | according to the docs, they are quite fond of aliases, so you could create a Cmnd_Alis called APTMIRROR_CMDS = /path/to/apt-mirror, then $GRP_OR_USERNAME ALL=(ALL) APTMIRROR_CMDS | 09:44 |

| PeoplesAdvocate | I just installed htop! Looks...pleasing. LOL | 09:45 |
| zul0 | anyone know what is happening with my firestarter blocked connections? i have got a lot of connections from unknown host | 09:46 |
| Chipzzz | PeoplesAdvocate: much better than top :-) | 09:46 |
| ejv | welcome to 2004 PeoplesAdvocate! | 09:46 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | LOL | 09:46 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | I dont know why the hell i didnt know about this! | 09:46 |
| Chipzzz | ;-) | 09:47 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | what are other recommended tools for command line? | 09:47 |
| Chipzzz | PeoplesAdvocate: what do you want to do? | 09:48 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | mainly targeted at server monitoring and maintenance | 09:48 |
| Dr_willis | tools to do what? | 09:48 |
| Dr_willis | maintance is a rather broad topic. :) | 09:48 |
| Chipzzz | monitoring as well | 09:48 |
| ejv | rrdtool, nagios, etc. | 09:48 |
| Dr_willis | Theres some hearbeat and other 'is the server up' type tools in the repos | 09:49 |
| Dr_willis | 'ssh' :) the wonder tool. | 09:49 |
| Chipzzz | zenmap to analyze the network | 09:49 |
| Chipzzz | (nmap for command line) | 09:49 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | Lets start with monitoring! intrusion dectection, stuff like that | 09:49 |
| PeoplesAdvocate | i know nmap | 09:49 |
| ejv | IDS, tripwire. | 09:50 |
| oCean | nightcrow: found it? | 09:50 |
| Chipzzz | wireshark to analyze traffic | 09:50 |
| nightcrow | oCean: not yet :) | 09:50 |
| nightcrow | oCean: i got a phone call so had to stop for a moment | 09:50 |
| ejv | i gave you enough examples nightcrow, what's the hold up ha | 09:51 |
| nightcrow | ill get back to it in 5 | 09:51 |
| nightcrow | ejv: hehehe true :) | 09:51 |
| oCean | nightcrow: oh ok. | 09:51 |
| nightcrow | i actually have done : ayeletw ALL=(ALL) ALL | 09:51 |
| nightcrow | but THAT didnt even work | 09:51 |
| nightcrow | so im assuming there is something worse going on here :) | 09:51 |
| pnorman | I'm having a random hang that I can track down the cause of, and I'm not seeing anything in /var/log that indicates the cause. Is there a way to step up the amount of logging done? | 09:51 |
| ejv | it's helpful if your users are in the proper groups | 09:51 |
| nightcrow | ejv: but if i were to use this: ayeletw ALL=(ALL) ALL i wouldnt need to put her in any group | 09:52 |
| nightcrow | since i am refering straight to her username | 09:52 |
| === keeeeeeek2 is now known as LuNa2easy | ||
| ejv | ah ayeletw is a user, not a group huh, in that case, yea, it should work | 09:52 |
| nightcrow | ejv: yes she is a user | 09:53 |
| Dr_willis | pnorman: what kind of 'hang' | 09:53 |
| pnorman | Dr_willis: It stops responding and the power and reset buttons on the front of the case don't work | 09:54 |
| Seryth | Do I put an irssi config file in .irssi? | 09:54 |
| oCean | nightcrow: the actual command has to be started with 'sudo'.. so sudo apt-mirror for example | 09:54 |
| Dr_willis | pnorman: You have done a memtest on the system? Its a nasty crash that locks up the system that badly. | 09:54 |
| ejv | Seryth: when you initialize irssi, it will automagically create an ~/.irssi/config file | 09:54 |
| Seryth | ejv: Okay, cool. I've not used irssi for a long time, and I just found a config that looks pretty nice | 09:55 |
| oCean | nightcrow: anyway, ejv's examples are close, so I'll paste you my example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/838828/ (I added the first and third definition) | 09:55 |
| pnorman | Dr_willis: Haven't done one for awhile. | 09:55 |
| nightcrow | oCean: checking | 09:55 |
| pnorman | Dr_willis: Any way to run a memtest without heading over to the machine? | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | pnorman: also if the system hangs after some time, it could be a sign of overheating. or needing a cleaning. | 09:56 |
| Chipzzz | pnorman: do you think you might have hardware problems? | 09:56 |
| angel282 | Hello can someone recommend me on good free control panel? (in the past I've purchased some server from Godaddy that came with "simple control panel" from this panel I could add domains/ create ftp accounts etc.. anything similar?) | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | pnorman: not that i know of. | 09:56 |
| nightcrow | oCean: whats the %test | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | !ebox | angel282 | 09:56 |
| pnorman | Chipzzz: I can't rule it out | 09:56 |
| ubottu | angel282: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 09:56 |
| ejv | nightcrow, what ocean posted is basically what i had, but he put your user into a group called %test, so put your user in there | 09:56 |
| oCean | nightcrow: everyone in group test | 09:56 |
| nightcrow | oCean: i see | 09:56 |
| oCean | correct | 09:56 |
| nightcrow | oCean: so i can replace that with ayeletw | 09:56 |
| oCean | nightcrow: yes | 09:56 |
| nightcrow | ie. the name of the user | 09:56 |
| oCean | nightcrow: that's also possible | 09:57 |
| nightcrow | perfect! thank you so much! | 09:57 |
| oCean | nightcrow: but remember, the user still has to start the command with sudo | 09:57 |
| Chipzzz | pnorman: I think Dr_Willis is on to something about the potential for a heat problem | 09:57 |
| nightcrow | and she still has to start with sudo - gotcha! | 09:57 |
| nightcrow | thank you so much guys | 09:57 |
| ejv | did it work nightcrow ? | 09:57 |
| nightcrow | i would be lost without all of you! | 09:57 |
| nightcrow | ejv: testing now | 09:57 |
| nightcrow | sec | 09:57 |
| FloodBot1 | nightcrow: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:57 |
| ejv | don't thank until you tell us it works | 09:57 |
| ejv | ha | 09:57 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: still unsolved. I just installed CCSM and run dconf-editor again but still can't change anything | 09:58 |
| pnorman | Munin isn't showing any temperatures which have exceeded 30 degrees in the last week | 09:58 |
| Chipzzz | pnorman: you can monitor cpu temp without visiting the machine | 09:58 |
| ejv | pnorman: it's a trap! don't go outside! | 09:58 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: maybe your video modes don't support the changes you're trying to make? | 09:58 |
| nightcrow | oooops didnt mean to flood. oCean: what is this: Cmnd_Alias | 09:59 |
| zul0 | anyone know why i have got a lot of connections from this host 107.21.249.146:55XXX? | 09:59 |
| pnorman | I doubt it's heat - it's pretty clean, it's a big case, and it has an excessive number of fast fans | 09:59 |
| nightcrow | is that an actual command, or did you decide to use that string? | 09:59 |
| ejv | nightcrow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers#Command_Aliases | 09:59 |
| oCean | nightcrow: it is a collection of commands, see the 2nd line in my paste | 09:59 |
| Chipzzz | pnorman: that rules out the #1 suspect :-( | 09:59 |
| nightcrow | i see | 10:00 |
| nightcrow | gotcha | 10:00 |
| ejv | nightcrow: APT_CMDS references Cmnd_Alias APT_CMDS, you need both lines | 10:00 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: but I can't change all field on org.gnome.desktop.interface, even I can't unthick all checkbox | 10:01 |
| nightcrow | ejv: excellent! I was just wondering if Cmnd_Alias is a specific syntax or whether I could have used any word there | 10:01 |
| nightcrow | ie. testing_Alias APT_CMDS = /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/apt-mirror | 10:01 |
| nightcrow | oCean: it worked! thank you! | 10:02 |
| nightcrow | :|) | 10:02 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: try "ls ~/.dbus/session-bus" and see how many files there are | 10:03 |
| pnorman | I'll run a memtest overnight, hope that it turns up something since memory problems are cheap and easy to fix | 10:03 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: there are 4 files | 10:04 |
| ejv | cheap yes, easy to fix? not quite, it can be a real execise in patience narrowing down a bad slot or bad stick | 10:04 |
| ejv | s/execise/exercise/ | 10:04 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: hmmm... anyone else logged in? | 10:04 |
| pnorman | ejv: buy new ram, test. use replacement cpu, test | 10:04 |
| David-Id-1 | hi all | 10:04 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: No, I just restarting the machine | 10:05 |
| ejv | personally, in all my years, i've never known a cpu to be bad in any of my batches, or more importantly to contribute to instability, it's always been the more complex or volatile components like the mobo, ram, etc. | 10:06 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: i don't think that's causing your problem but you should get rid of all but the most recent file in that directory when you get a chance | 10:06 |
| skilz | How to install ati drivers | 10:06 |

| MrMist1 | What's the best way of running "cron-like" tasks in ubuntu? I know how to set up Cron, but it doesn't seem like it's being used bu default by the system | 10:29 |
| zeozan | and i want to install gnome 3.3.5 ? | 10:29 |
| llutz | MrMist1: it is used by default | 10:29 |
| MrMist1 | llutz: so how come crontab -l doesn't reveal anything when running as root? | 10:30 |
| llutz | MrMist1: that what's /etc/crontab for | 10:30 |
| zeozan | no one can help me ? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | zeozan: is there a package for gnome 3.3.5 ? | 10:30 |
| zeozan | yeah i think | 10:30 |
| ikonia | zeozan: where is it ? | 10:30 |
| zeozan | ok i will get it wait | 10:30 |
| MrMist1 | llutz: Hmm... i thought I was supposed to run crontab -e to edit crontab? | 10:31 |
| aleena | i just wanted to ask but still searching for solution #) | 10:31 |
| llutz | MrMist1: since root-account is disabled in *buntu, it makes no sense | 10:31 |
| zeozan | this is gnome 3.3.5 | 10:31 |
| zeozan | http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-shell/3.3/gnome-shell-3.3.5.tar.xz | 10:31 |
| llutz | MrMist1: as user, "crontab -e" works fine | 10:31 |
| ikonia | zeozan: that is a tar file - not a package | 10:31 |
| MrMist1 | llutz: It's not disabled?? sudo su root | 10:31 |
| Chipzzz | MrMist1: use the crontab commands to create the jobs you want and /etc/crontab should be created | 10:31 |
| ikonia | zeozan: you need an ubuntu (deb) package | 10:31 |
| zeozan | ok what can i do ? | 10:32 |
| llutz | MrMist1: no recommended and not supported here | 10:32 |
| llutz | MrMist1: if you need a root-shell, use "sudo -i" | 10:32 |
| ikonia | zeozan: wait for the distribution to offer an upgrade package | 10:32 |
| zeozan | okay | 10:32 |
| zeozan | thanx | 10:32 |
| rymate1234 | llutz: another way to get a root shell is sudo bah | 10:34 |
| rymate1234 | *sudo bash | 10:34 |
| llutz | rymate1234: there are million ways to get a root shell, sudo -i is the recommended one at *buntu | 10:34 |
| llutz | !wfm | rymate1234 | 10:34 |
| ubottu | rymate1234: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 10:34 |
| MrMist1 | llutz: sudo -i? Never used that one... care to explain the difference? | 10:36 |
| llutz | MrMist1: read "man sudo" | 10:37 |
| rymate1234 | gives the same result | 10:37 |
| rymate1234 | but sudo bash keeps you in the directory you were in | 10:37 |
| llutz | MrMist1: it just makes sure you get a proper env similar to a root-login shell | 10:37 |
| popey | rymate1234: sudo -s # is the way to do that ☺ | 10:37 |
| Chipzzz | MrMist1: there is no 'root' user in ubuntu and sudo -i compensates for the differences between ubuntu & the more standard configuration | 10:37 |
| aleena | so i desperately tried to fix the problem that I cannot load ubuntu , it comes till grub and then comes up with error, something with busybox | 10:37 |

| MrMist1 | llutz: but it's a server doing something like dyndns... do I create a user for just this task? | 10:41 |
| aleena | yes i know so i could start up from the cd, i cannot mount the sda1 which is shown as ext4 filesystem | 10:41 |
| MrMist1 | llutz: doesn't seem right running this task as my regular user | 10:41 |
| ikonia | MrMist1: then use a root crontab | 10:41 |

However, it does not unlock the files on login, but instead unlocks the first time I use 'sudo'. Could this be due to the recent switch to lightdm? | 10:48 |

| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: maybe you right. I can't find menu to change theme or icon in CCSM | 10:56 |
| alishah | sometimes i get GRUB menu and an option to boot previous version of linux i tried em but i get the same error. | 10:56 |
| Dr_willis | greenit: ive seen similer issues mentioned in the past. Youmay want to check askubuntu.com or the forums for any work arounds. I recall one being holding down the right mouse button whils you clickon the settings/buttons.. (no idea if that still works) | 10:57 |
| Dr_willis | alishah: you may want to boot a live cd and do a filesystemcheck. do you recall what thepc was doing when you unplugged it? | 10:58 |
| Dr_willis | if you only sometimes get a grub menu. youmay want to reinstall grub. and perhaps the kernel. It almost sounds like it was updateing the kernel/system when you unplugged it | 10:58 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: could you find the menu to change theme or icon on your CCSM? | 10:58 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: there is also gnome-control-center, which is installed by default in oneiric and allows some changes, but not nearly as many as gnome-tweak-tool | 10:59 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: gnome-tweak-tool has it | 10:59 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: sorry, i mean gnome-control-center has it | 11:00 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: only window theme can change by gnome-control-center, but I need to change gtk theme and icon theme as well | 11:04 |

| damo22 | lucidmadman: if you switch to root user with sudo su, you can pipe the output of any command to |pastebinit | 12:14 |
| slackin_ | A question of opinion: When compiling a kernel for a static machine setup, nothing will ever change, is it better to make drivers n such modules or built in? Are there other advantages over one another other than size? | 12:14 |

| Chipzzz | astroboy81: it's a very stubborn problem, i have to give it that ;-) | 12:15 |
| dr--willis | sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit should work | 12:15 |
| damo22 | dr--willis: no it doesnt let you use sudo to pipe | 12:15 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: I tried to use ricotz ppa to install dconf-editor, how you think? | 12:16 |
| dr--willis | i recall it workibg for me in the past | 12:16 |
| lucidmadman | ok | 12:16 |
| damo22 | dr--willis: you need to use tee to make that work | 12:16 |
| lucidmadman | I did the sudo fdisk -l then pastebinit | 12:16 |
| lucidmadman | before I saw damo22 | 12:16 |
| dr--willis | its worked for me befor | 12:16 |
| lucidmadman | now it's just sitting there | 12:17 |
| lucidmadman | hasnn't returned to the cmd line | 12:17 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: ctrl c | 12:17 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: you cant run them separately | 12:17 |
| lucidmadman | ok sweet | 12:17 |
| johnson19 | Hi, just installed 10.11 on a GM33 integrated box. Display shows up as unknown. Was stuck in 1024 x 786 resolution. Used xrandr to add new mode for 1280 x 1024. Resolution changes fine, but I have black bars down the side of my screen that I can't get rid of, even using the monitor settings. Any ideas? | 12:18 |
| MonkeyDust | lucidmadman or open a new tab in terminal, so you can switch | 12:18 |
| llutz | damo22: pipes work with sudo , echo blah > foo won't | 12:18 |
| lucidmadman | so the syntax is: sudo su fdisk -l? | 12:18 |
| MonkeyDust | sudo fdisk -l | 12:18 |
| dr--willis | dont use sudo su. ;) | 12:18 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 12:18 |
| spawnguz | ciao | 12:18 |
| spawnguz | 2 | 12:20 |
| lucidmadman | what's the char between the fdisk command and pastebinit? | 12:20 |
| llutz | lucidmadman: a pipe | | 12:21 |
| Chipzzz | lucidmadman: (shifted backslash) | 12:21 |
| dr--willis | linux lets you use all your jeys... | 12:21 |
| dr--willis | keys | 12:21 |
| damo22 | the pipe is the most useful character in linux | 12:22 |
| kalimojo | there is no command called pastebinit | 12:22 |
| lucidmadman | http://paste.ubuntu.com/838940 | 12:22 |
| dr--willis | ctrl-g | 12:22 |
| lucidmadman | you guys rock | 12:22 |
| dr--willis | so.. install it. | 12:22 |
| kalimojo | ok | 12:23 |
| Chipzzz | kalimojo: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" | 12:23 |
| dr--willis | !info pastebinit | 12:23 |
| ubottu | pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-2 (oneiric), package size 30 kB, installed size 480 kB | 12:23 |
| greenhost | who have done ubuntu mail server for windows clients? | 12:24 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: you have a mixture of lvm and regular partitions | 12:24 |
| llutz | greenhost: pop3/imap or exchange? | 12:25 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: Nearly frustated, using ricotz ppa to upgrade dconf-editor still can't solve my problem | 12:25 |
| kalimojo | pastebinit is great | 12:25 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: which one are you trying to format? | 12:25 |

| lucidmadman | right, so I want to redo /dev/sda | 12:25 |
| lucidmadman | into one drive | 12:25 |
| html_5 | how do i set up openvpn | 12:26 |
| dr--willis | !openvpn | 12:26 |
| ubottu | OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 12:26 |
| MonkeyDust | html_5 start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN | 12:26 |
| NoetGoed | hi all | 12:27 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: in case you have some bright idea plz drop me email at astroboy81.freebies(at)gmail.com. Thanks for your time | 12:28 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: it looks like you have deleted the LVM partition group for DataMusic and DataVideo | 12:28 |
| NoetGoed | total ubuntu noob here. installed it in virtual box. very smooth. but can't get it to full screen. I did install the guest services afai can tell | 12:28 |
| lucidmadman | damo22: that bad? | 12:29 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: do you want to lose this data? | 12:29 |
| lucidmadman | there's nothing there | 12:29 |
| lucidmadman | leftover from a previous install | 12:29 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: "file types editor" in software center lets you change default icons | 12:29 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: so data-video and data-music can be deleted? | 12:29 |
| lucidmadman | yup | 12:30 |
| MonkeyDust | lucidmadman sometimes it's better to delete all and start over | 12:30 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: i would delete all partitions from /dev/sda | 12:30 |
| usza | huston, we have a problem here http://ovrload.ru/temp/img_1346_4ba849b8c47c82b25fc31a9728d6c729.jpg | 12:31 |
| lucidmadman | ok how do I do that? | 12:31 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: could use fdisk or dd | 12:31 |
| lucidmadman | damo22 I tried deleteing the table and writing a new one but it told me that it failed as the device is busy | 12:34 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: maybe if I can any value on dconf-editor then changing theme or icon on other app like ubuntu-tweak, gnome-tweak-tool won't be a problem too | 12:34 |
| franzmaulwurf | hi | 12:34 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: did you see the earlier message about "file types editor"? | 12:35 |
| meet | how do i copy the already installed packages like vlc, etc. and use them in another computer with mint. | 12:35 |
| lucidmadman | sudo reboot | 12:35 |
| usza | i'm out of variants, guys, need some help =) | 12:35 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: yes. btw, without an app how can I change theme or icon manually? | 12:36 |
| kalimojo | i worked with macs and windows for years, wish i hadn't wasted all that time and used linux instead | 12:36 |
| NoetGoed | anybody knows how to properly setup fullscreen mode in virtual box? | 12:36 |
| airtonix | meet: aptoncd | 12:37 |
| meet | NoetGoed: try ctrl+f | 12:37 |
| meet | thanks airtonix will try it | 12:37 |
| NoetGoed | sure thing. but the ubuntu window just stays the same size, plus black frame. :S | 12:37 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: i don't really understand the question | 12:37 |
| MonkeyDust | NoetGoed i use vbox, click View > Full screen | 12:37 |
| html_5 | MonkeyDust, that doesnt help | 12:37 |
| airtonix | meet: http://channikhabra.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/aptoncd-tutorialhow-to-backup-your.html | 12:38 |
| NoetGoed | html_5 is right. that does not help. seems to be related to the guest additions or whatever that is called in english. I installed those inside in ubuntu (was that wrong?) but no difference. | 12:38 |
| MonkeyDust | html_5 what doesnt? | 12:38 |
| NoetGoed | fullscreen view does not work. | 12:39 |
| MonkeyDust | who's asking about vbox, NoetGoed or html_5 ? | 12:39 |
| NoetGoed | me | 12:39 |
| kalimojo | ot: anyone know about surveillance cameras ? | 12:39 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: can I change theme in ubuntu without application like gnome-tweak-tool, ubuntu-tweak, etc? | 12:40 |
| html_5 | MonkeyDust, that doesnt help, the link .. im trying to set up a vpn service "openvpn " | 12:40 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: like a theme editor? | 12:40 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: sudo mount |pastebinit | 12:41 |
| === debdj is now known as d00m | ||

| airtonix | astroboy81: dconf-editor | 12:42 |
| Chipzzz | astroboy81: "system settings"->"appearance", but you knew that... | 12:43 |
| astroboy81 | airtonix: dconf-editor also an application. If you follow my big problem is that I can't change any value on dconf-editor | 12:44 |
| usza | dudes, i need some help, eded up with kernel panic :/ | 12:44 |
| airtonix | astroboy81: well i can | 12:44 |
| damo22 | lucidmadman: you need to use an LVM tool to delete those lvm partitions | 12:44 |
| CrazyTB | I have just installed Ubuntu 11 on a drive that already had Windows 7 x64 | 12:45 |
| CrazyTB | and now ubuntu does not show the grub screen | 12:45 |
| lucidmadman | damo22: easiest via webmin? | 12:45 |
| CrazyTB | (btw, nvidia card) | 12:45 |
| astroboy81 | airtonix: yeah, some days ago I also could make a change with dconf-editor | 12:45 |
| astroboy81 | Chipzzz: yeah, you mentioned before gnome-control-center that actually also an application | 12:46 |
| NoetGoed | no one knows? http://cl.ly/2U1E3R1K273T0A1o091y | 12:49 |
| usza | guys, i really need some help lol | 12:49 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: what is the question ? | 12:49 |
| MonkeyDust | NoetGoed at least it *finds* the guest additions, here it doesnt | 12:50 |
| ikonia | usza: people can't help unless you ask a question | 12:50 |
| kalimojo | when i run fdisk -l i get "Disk /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 doesn't contain a valid partition table" | 12:50 |
| usza | its not easy to ask it, really, i just ended up with kernel panic | 12:50 |
| ikonia | kalimojo: 1.) you need to use sudo 2.) its an encypted device | 12:50 |
| NoetGoed | how to get virtual box with ubuntu full screen. I get full screen. but the size of ubuntu window is the same. only change is the black frame that (indeed) fills the full screen. but that can't be the concept right? | 12:50 |
| ikonia | usza: you need to figure out how to ask it | 12:50 |
| kalimojo | i did use sudo | 12:50 |
| usza | ikonia, here is what i ended up with http://ovrload.ru/temp/img_1346_4ba849b8c47c82b25fc31a9728d6c729.jpg | 12:51 |
| ikonia | kalimojo: then when you say what you did, you need to say "I did sudo fdisk -l" not "I did disk -l" | 12:51 |
| kalimojo | ok ikonia | 12:51 |
| usza | ikonia, here is what i was doing http://www.oxygenimpaired.com/ubuntu-with-grub2-luks-encrypted-lvm-root-hidden-usb-keyfile | 12:51 |
| zaur-ibr | hi everybody | 12:51 |
| ikonia | usza: can you give context, has this ever works | 12:51 |
| ikonia | usza: oooh, you've been messing around with encyption | 12:51 |
| zaur-ibr | I've problem with my HP Tp | 12:51 |
| kalimojo | ikonia: so that is a normal error message ? | 12:52 |
| zaur-ibr | I've installed ubuntu then uninstalled,but know my Touchpad available memory is 3.99Gb,why? | 12:52 |
| usza | it looks like problem is not with encryption itself | 12:52 |
| ikonia | kalimojo: it's not really an error message, the disk is encypted | 12:52 |
| NoetGoed | did anybody understand my question? should I repeat it? | 12:52 |
| kalimojo | ikonia : ok | 12:52 |
| ikonia | usza: the "unsupported optional features" is not a good message | 12:52 |
| usza | i know that | 12:52 |
| Chucky_Luciano | hi, im using ubuntu lucid... and i messed something up, pretty sure it has to do woth compiz because thats the last thing i changed, but anyways i cant seem to move windows around by clicking on the titlebar... the windows are just stuck in place... any help w/ this would be much appreciated, thanks in advance :) | 12:52 |
| zaur-ibr | can anyone help me? | 12:52 |
| usza | but if u were looking carefully | 12:52 |
| usza | its not what caused the panic | 12:53 |
| MonkeyDust | NoetGoed better try your luck in #vbox | 12:53 |
| ikonia | usza: the panic is because the disk can't be mounted cleanly | 12:53 |
| usza | how u figured that out? | 12:53 |
| NoetGoed | MonkeyDust thx for the tipp will try. | 12:53 |
| ikonia | usza: by reading what is on the screen - it's hard to be certain without proper information, but that is how it reads to me | 12:53 |
| NoetGoed | ah working now. seems I had to restart virtualbox for whatever reasons. | 12:54 |
| NoetGoed | MonkeyDust so you say you don't even have the guest additions? | 12:54 |
| MonkeyDust | NoetGoed don't forget to mention that you're using linux | 12:54 |
| lavi741 | hey.. I'm looking for native speakers of as many languages as possible to translate only 6 strings | 12:54 |
| usza | ikonia, sdc1 is a device that contains the keyfile, if u was looking carefully, u can notice that it was mounted as ext4 and u probably could guess why it was trying ext2 and ext3 at first | 12:54 |
| NoetGoed | working fine now for me. full screen scaled correctly and automated. yey :) | 12:55 |
| usza | root encrypted partition was also mounted, its sda3_crypt | 12:55 |

| Kartagis | www.firefox.com | 12:58 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: ignore what Kartagis has said | 12:58 |
| NoetGoed | already done | 12:58 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: when ubuntu packages udates, they will be released by update manager | 12:59 |
| Kartagis | my mic seems to be working, but skype doesn't recognize it at all, how come? | 12:59 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: so as updates become available you'll be notified via update manager | 12:59 |
| NoetGoed | ikonia: where do I find that? | 12:59 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: it will pop up on screen when you login saying "ubuntu has 10 updates available for you" or words to that effect | 12:59 |
| MonkeyDust | NoetGoed try sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:59 |
| NoetGoed | any way I can trigger the same via UI? | 13:00 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: open the update manager gui | 13:00 |
| MonkeyDust | try update manager | 13:00 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: it will basically run those commands in the background as it opens | 13:00 |
| NoetGoed | sry, I still don't know where to look. I have "Software-Paketquellen" in the system settings. is that it? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: what language is your ubuntu system in ? | 13:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Quelle = Source | 13:01 |
| NoetGoed | also I can't copy paste commands from mac os X when I go into virtual box ubuntu :( | 13:01 |
| stamina_ | sudo im going nuts there is no driver | 13:01 |
| NoetGoed | german | 13:01 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: what version of ubuntu is this ? | 13:01 |
| stamina_ | mine is creative vf0420 | 13:01 |
| NoetGoed | MonkeyDust: that's why I though it's not the same.. | 13:01 |
| NoetGoed | ikonia: 11.10 latest afaik | 13:02 |
| ikonia | not sure where update manager is located in unity, I'm sure an 11.10 user can point you out though | 13:02 |
| stamina_ | do you command to read my usb or activate it | 13:02 |
| stamina_ | cause its working on cheese | 13:02 |
| NoetGoed | ikonia: ok, you are still using an older version? | 13:02 |

| stamina_ | is there someone who can help please | 13:04 |
| NoetGoed | so nothing there. who's responsible for the firefox updates? | 13:04 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: the desktop team | 13:04 |
| lucidmadman | what's the best web based administrator to use? | 13:04 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: there will be updates then there are updates "needed" | 13:04 |
| lucidmadman | for 11.10 server | 13:04 |
| ikonia | lucidmadman: not using one is the best option | 13:04 |
| lucidmadman | ikonia: just use ssh? | 13:05 |
| NoetGoed | so they are on it? hmm, afaik 10.0.1 has some rather important securtiy fixes, no? | 13:05 |
| MonkeyDust | cynic | 13:05 |
| NoetGoed | but I'll ignore it for now and be patient :) | 13:05 |
| kalimojo | how do i know if i can trust a ppa ? | 13:05 |
| MonkeyDust | kalimojo not | 13:05 |
| ikonia | kalimojo: you don't know, that is the massive risk/issue with PPAs | 13:05 |
| ikonia | kalimojo: my personal research suggests there are VERY few that are safe to use | 13:06 |
| ikonia | NoetGoed: which security features do you want from 10.0.1 | 13:06 |
| kalimojo | ok | 13:06 |
| MonkeyDust | a PPA ruined my system, once, I don't use them anymore, since | 13:06 |

| Chucky_Luciano | alsl alt+f1 and alt+f2 seem not to be working at all either | 13:08 |

| MonkeyDust | memyself dig|grep SERVER | 13:15 |
| stamina_ | can you do soemthing for me | 13:15 |
| llutz | MonkeyDust: thats still the nameserver which mustn't be router/gateway | 13:16 |
| bastidrazor | MonkeyDust: that would indicate your dns server which could be different than router ip | 13:16 |
| MonkeyDust | llutz correct, you said that earlier | 13:17 |
| memyself | dig|grep server ? what to look for ? | 13:17 |
| drakalen | !pl | 13:18 |
| ubottu | Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 13:18 |
| stamina_ | dobre | 13:18 |
| MonkeyDust | memyself SERVER, not server | 13:18 |
| llutz | memyself: that will show you the address of used nameserver, which could be different from your router/gateway | 13:19 |

| angel282 | Hi, Does someone here have knowledge in the kloxo control panel? (need help) | 13:21 |
| fluffypony | angel282: I thought kloxo didn't support Ubuntu? | 13:21 |
| auronandace | memyself: isn't it on the router? something like 192.168.1.1 | 13:21 |
| MonkeyDust | angel282 i read here that kloxo is for redhat and centos | 13:22 |
| fluffypony | angel282: try Webmin isntead | 13:22 |
| llutz | !webmin | 13:23 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 13:23 |

| fluffypony | auronandace: thanks | 13:24 |
| llutz | memyself: "ip n s" or "route -n|grep G" both will show you your gateways IP | 13:24 |
| memyself | what's command is that ? | 13:24 |
| MonkeyDust | memyself open your browser and go to 192.168.1.1 which is most probably your router's ip address | 13:25 |
| fluffypony | llutz: from which version did Webmin stop supporting Ubuntu? their website seems to indicate it is still actively supported: http://www.webmin.com/deb.html | 13:25 |
| llutz | fluffypony: it mit be supported, but not in debian/*buntu since it might break stuff | 13:26 |
| memyself | lluts both command fail | 13:26 |

| MonkeyDust | nicofs you can use qemu | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | nicofs it's with qemu-create https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/QemuEmulator | 13:36 |
| nicofs | MonkeyDust, I just need 40GB of ext3/4 on an external storage that's formatted as NTFS... | 13:36 |
| Chipzzz | hypeBoy: you could check /var/log/kern.log, and /var/log/auth.log (to see if anyone logged on who didn't belong there) | 13:37 |
| lnostdal_ | why does installing openjdk7 / jre7 also add the 6 versions and set version 6 as the default (update-alternatives) for 'java' and several other tools (but not javac)? etc. etc.? .. this seems just random and silly | 13:37 |

| scanuks | acicula: its a netbook | 13:38 |
| scanuks | acicula: i cant find in google where it stores the settings | 13:39 |
| acicula | scanuks: it doesnt i think, hence restarting x should reset it to the default | 13:40 |
| scanuks | acicula: theres no "system restore" for ubuntu ? | 13:40 |

| 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 | 13:41 |
| MonkeyDust | scanuks in the grub menu, choose Restore > Fsck | 13:41 |
| acicula | !xorgconf | 13:41 |
| ubottu | The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers.

| scanuks | NoetGoed: go to the login options | 13:54 |
| rileyp | acicula, so the only issue might be the .lirc files as newer kernels behave different with lirc and the mceusb tranceiver | 13:54 |

| acicula | scanuks: np, happens to the best of us. did the command succeed, ie gave some output? | 14:06 |
| scanuks | acicula: and i did that sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Now and it worked . no output tho | 14:06 |
| theadmin | damo22: Well, yeah, but I still don't see the point... If you're trying to securely delete a file you can use shred... | 14:07 |
| damo22 | theadmin: securely deleting a file isnt done with zeros, its obvious that someone deleted the file | 14:07 |

| scanuks | acicula: ok ill reboot\ | 14:08 |

| acicula | scanuks: doh :/ | 14:09 |
| damo22 | theadmin: it would be okay to dd zeros to the first 100Mb of the drive just to wipe most traces of the filesystem | 14:09 |
| rumpe1 | theadmin, if you want to shred/compress the space on a partition not occupied by files... | 14:09 |

| B4ckBOne | clementine is a bit out of date | 14:11 |
| scanuks | acicula: ISO ? | 14:11 |
| damo22 | are you saying the easiest way to defrag a drive is to create a huge file containing zeros? | 14:11 |

| monohedron | is there an official open office or libre office channel that is maned? | 14:21 |
| Abooda | onasis: you know there are ways to find out from a console, right? | 14:21 |

| onasis | ok im at software centre | 14:22 |

| onasis | so basically if ive installed 11.10 i wont have to install pango, glib atk? | 14:29 |
| recon_lap | anyone got a suggestion for a alternate vedio/sound editor in ubutnu ? | 14:29 |
| theadmin | recon_lap: Kdenlive, VLMC, Openshot | 14:29 |
| auronandace | recon_lap: openshot is great | 14:29 |
| recon_lap | thx, i'll give openshot a go | 14:29 |
| auronandace | onasis: dependancies are automatically resolved if you install from apt-get | 14:31 |
| onasis | so is ardour considered the best daw? | 14:32 |
| auronandace | !best | onasis | 14:33 |
| ubottu | onasis: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:33 |
| onasis | i come from protools hd, im looking for a more slimline daw for when im on the road | 14:33 |
| acicula | scanuks: please ask your questions here, not in a pm. To create a bootable usb stick you have to install unetbootin. you can install that using the software-center. Once that is installed you can open the program and create a bootable usb stick with it. | 14:33 |

| onasis | digital audio workstation | 14:33 |
| auronandace | onasis: for editing audio i find audacity good (but i'm by no means any expert) | 14:34 |
| onasis | yeah ive used audacity and it pretty good for basic editing | 14:34 |
| onasis | just wondered whether there was something closer to protools | 14:35 |
| onasis | that i didnt know about | 14:35 |
| onasis | one problem i do have is i dont seem to be able to configure my line in with anything? | 14:36 |
| onasis | could you help with this? | 14:36 |
| ntr0py | I have USB audio crackling problems and get "no or invalid class specific endpoint descriptor" which means the driver will guess defaults for the device, is that the origin of the crackling problem? | 14:36 |

| onasis | i cant find how to get rid of them in the prefs! | 14:38 |
| recon_lap | hmm, openshot works good, but does not show sound in enough detail and seems to lack tools for cutting and pasting a clip. I'm trying to loop a guitar tutorial so i can try play along without have to restart the clip every 20 seconds | 14:38 |
| skorket | I am having trouble installing a font. I am running 11.10 (oneiric), have placed the font in '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/prog/' with the name 'ProggyTiny.ttf' and permissions 'rw-r--r--'. I have run 'fc-cache -vf' and have even restarted X, but when I try to run 'xterm -font ProggyTiny' it says 'xterm: cannot load font 'ProggyTiny''. Any suggestions? | 14:38 |
| auronandace | recon_lap: i cut and paste all the time in openshot | 14:39 |
| auronandace | recon_lap: add it to the timeline, then you can duplicate and crop as needed | 14:40 |
| recon_lap | auronandace: yep, but i cant see the sound to sync up the beat | 14:40 |
| auronandace | recon_lap: ah, for music i use audacity | 14:41 |
| auronandace | recon_lap: openshot is more for video | 14:41 |
| recon_lap | auronandace: thats what i was getting at, problem is i want to edit a music video =-O | 14:42 |
| auronandace | recon_lap: you can edit the video in openshot and the sound in audacity | 14:42 |
| auronandace | recon_lap: i'd do the sound first then sync it with the video | 14:43 |
| auronandace | recon_lap: bear in mind i'm no expert, there may be better tools/methods out there | 14:44 |
| recon_lap | auronandace: workable, but bound to be really difficult. the interface for fitivi is perfect, pity it's got so many bugs :'( , but thax for the input | 14:45 |

| zau | hello everybody. 1st time here. I wish to install Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix with Wubi. However, Wubi 11.10 fails in doing so. Can someone help me, please? | 15:08 |
| auronandace | zau: ubuntu business desktop remix? | 15:08 |
| theadmin | zau: That doesn't sound like a supported Ubuntu derivative. We only support Ubuntu, Ubuntu Server, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Edubuntu and Ubuntu Studio. | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | auronandace: theres a doc on omgubuntu sbout it | 15:09 |
| Oer | theadmin it is legit Canonical. | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: its going to or is already launched by canonical | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/ubuntu-business-remix-launched-by-canonical/ | 15:09 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip, Oer: Oh. Huh. Something new I guess. | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: yep | 15:10 |
| quiescens | heh | 15:10 |
| Oer | theadmin, i am not sure, if it goes paid > business | 15:10 |
| deskduck | ActionParsnip, there is only DockbarX Preference file in /usr/share/applications | 15:10 |
| Oer | http://www.ubuntu.com/business/desktop | 15:10 |
| ubuntuaddicted | its actually very EPIC that canonical released this as far as my business goes | 15:10 |
| theadmin | Oer: Not that I really care, not gonna use it lol, just gotta know we have a new supported derivative. | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: http://www.ubuntu.com/business/desktop/remix looks legit to me | 15:11 |
| ubuntuaddicted | it is legit, it was tweeted out yesterday like crazy | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | deskduck: make your own file in ~/.config/autostart to run the command' | 15:11 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: I see, thanks. Also, pidgin for IRC is gross (just saying. Seriously, consider a sane client... Pidgin is seriously lacking in most common functionality) | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: its sends and recieves text, what more do i need.. | 15:11 |
| === Tux is now known as Guest49122 | ||
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Heh. Fair enough :D | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: no, its a question. What more do I need | 15:12 |
| deskduck | ActionParsnip, there is only DockbarX Preference file in /usr/share/applications but the executable is in /usr/bin can you tell me how to make my own file? | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: why is pidgin 'gross'? | 15:12 |
| monohedron | Pidgin is for users | 15:12 |
| ubuntuaddicted | lol | 15:12 |
| fellayaboy | theadmin thanks that did it thank u so much | 15:12 |
| monohedron | its playful and not to the point | 15:12 |
| fellayaboy | what is dhclient | 15:13 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: I don't think Pidgin has the "ignore" function. Pidgin can't sanely communicate with nickserv automatically either I think (not so sure on that one)... | 15:13 |
| monohedron | i prefer command line clients or xchat | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: wrong, it does have ignore | 15:13 |
| theadmin | fellayaboy: dhclient is a somewhat old alternative to dhcpcd. It gets you an IP address from your DHCP servers | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: I ignore chanserv and nickserv after a new install | 15:13 |
| fellayaboy | ooh ok | 15:13 |
| deskduck | ActionParsnip, there is only DockbarX Preference file in /usr/share/applications but the executable is in /usr/bin can you tell me how to make my own file? | 15:13 |
| qw-help | hello | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | monohedron: it sends and receives text from the irc server. I've been using it for 12 years now (I used it when it was gaim) | 15:14 |
| fellayaboy | theadmin thanks for telling me...so what does network manager essentially do..cuz i thought without that u couldnt get nothing | 15:14 |
| kraehe | moin, how to disable the spdif soundcard 0, if both cards are snd-hda-intel? | 15:14 |
| deskduck | ActionParsnip? | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | deskduck: copy one of the desktop files probably already in there and change the Exec= line to whatever you run | 15:15 |
| theadmin | fellayaboy: NetworkManager establishes connections via a graphical interface and the DBus system messagebus. Quite an annoying thing to have actually. | 15:15 |
| theadmin | fellayaboy: For me, at least. | 15:15 |
| zau | guys, so any hint on how to have Wubi recognize Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix, please? | 15:15 |
| fellayaboy | ok why is that and do u use an alternative besides network manager | 15:16 |
| monohedron | ActionParsnip, I dislike it the higher the version number gets :) | 15:16 |
| fellayaboy | the DBus i mean | 15:16 |
| theadmin | fellayaboy: Try wicd, it's a nice and lightweight network manager replacement | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | monohedron: never had an issue with it, it does what IRC is made to do, so I fail to see where the issue is | 15:16 |
| fellayaboy | thanks...im having issues with network manager so maybe this might help | 15:16 |
| theadmin | fellayaboy: Remove networkmanager first though | 15:17 |
| kraehe | or asked the other way round - is it possible for ubuntu to ignore sound card 0 and use sound card 1 for everything? | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: so, what else do I need in an IRC client exactly? | 15:17 |
| fellayaboy | ok..do u know off the top of your head if wicd supports openvpn in its interface | 15:17 |
| monohedron | ActionParsnip, its to bulky and convoluted | 15:17 |

| ActionParsnip | monohedron: I can take the hit of a few Mb as it works well and gels with the rest of the desktop | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | deskduck: no, not at all | 15:18 |
| recon_lap | I like pidgin, simple to use, works for what i want, if you have a other preference just go install it. no biggie | 15:18 |
| deskduck | then what do I do theadmin? There is no .desktop file | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | deskduck: you need the .desktop file, not the executable, or I would have said the executable... | 15:19 |
| monohedron | ActionParsnip, it's a question of taste. i like ircii better | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | monohedron: yes but you can't explain intelligently, why pidgin is so bad except size | 15:19 |

| quiescens | codemagician: sorry, apt-cache show mysql-server | 15:35 |
| qnix | hi folks. | 15:35 |
| codemagician | I was told my version of MySQL server is quite dated | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | bhara, or tpe alsamixer in the terminal and make sure your mic ctlrls are turned up and unmuted | 15:35 |
| Kartagis | my mic seems to be working, but skype doesn't recognize it at all, how come? | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | tpe=type | 15:35 |
| quiescens | codemagician: if you just install the mysql-server package it will just install the latest version that is in your repository, but if you are on 10.04 LTS then it will be whatever version it was in 2010 | 15:36 |
| qnix | I just installed my new video card, which is a nvidia GTX 550 Ti. and installed the drivers from the x-swat ppa. However, when I try to use the driver I get: No screen found. no driver available. I thought the 550 ti was pretty standard... isn't it? | 15:36 |
| codemagician | quiescens: I see | 15:36 |
| codemagician | I also heard that 10.04.3 is built on an unstable release of debian? | 15:36 |
| bhara | s, it displaying some bars | 15:38 |
| codemagician | cat /etc/debian_version shows squeeze/sid | 15:38 |
| bhara | in that what i do | 15:38 |
| codemagician | should I be concerned about this? | 15:38 |
| auronandace | no | 15:38 |
| Kartagis | nothing can be recorded through microphone although I hear my own voice. any ideas? | 15:39 |
| bhara | Blueskaj: display 3 bard | 15:39 |
| bhara | bars | 15:39 |
| theadmin | codemagician: Nope. Ubuntu has always followed the unstable branch of Debian, but it has it's own packages and so on so it doesn't really matter | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | !alsamixer | bhara | 15:40 |
| codemagician | theadmin: so as a general rule, should I just keep the security updates to-do-date on the 10.04.3 LTS server and stick to the default packages. I want a stable server for a web-app | 15:40 |
| bhara | YARAVATHU UTHAVI SEYYUNGAL | 15:40 |
| codemagician | the web app will be PHP5.3 with MySQL database | 15:40 |
| theadmin | codemagician: Good then, yes, that's how you'd do it | 15:40 |
| bhara | yes, BluesKaj | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | !info alsamixer | bhara | 15:40 |
| ubottu | bhara: Package alsamixer does not exist in oneiric | 15:40 |
| bhara | ok, how to fix this issue now | 15:41 |
| verona7 | programmi nativi 64 dove trovarli? | 15:41 |
| auronandace | bhara: show us a screenshot of your alsamixer | 15:41 |
| bhara | BluesKaj, is there any command to isntall that app | 15:41 |
| codemagician | theadmin: as a general rule, for releasing a web app would it make sense to always develop my apps to work with the default mysql-server versions that come with the LTS server releases? would that be a wise move? | 15:41 |
| Kartagis | !find alsamixer | bhara | 15:41 |
| ubottu | bhara: Found: alsamixergui, gnome-alsamixer | 15:41 |
| theadmin | codemagician: Could do that... I dunno, I use sqlite personally, heh | 15:41 |
| bhara | in terminal shall i type | 15:42 |
| bhara | gnome-alsamixer | 15:42 |
| Kartagis | nothing can be recorded through microphone although I hear my own voice. any ideas? | 15:42 |
| codemagician | I hear that 12.04 LTS server will have Python 2.7, but can I get a early test release to try out to begin porting apps? | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | bhara, it's already installed if it came up when you typed alsamixer in the terminal , the factoid in the info-bot is obviously missing | 15:42 |
| auronandace | bhara: just alsamixer | 15:42 |
| theadmin | codemagician: Yes, but that's not supported here. Go to #ubuntu+1 to find out how to get Precise. | 15:43 |
| xukun | ok I can now mount my /dev/mapper/root /mnt. how can I install lvm and grub now? | 15:43 |
| del_ | Hello everyone. I had a question about Grub boot loader. I was trying to change the boot loader options, and installed Startup-Manager, but it didn't work. So, I uninstalled that, and installed Grub Customizer. Tried to do the same thing, and it didn't work… What could it be that I'm doing wrong? | 15:43 |
| codemagician | theadmin: thanks :) | 15:43 |

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) | 15:44 |
| bhara | what i type in terminal | 15:44 |
| bhara | relly i am not get | 15:44 |
| auronandace | bhara: alsamixer | 15:44 |
| theadmin | codemagician: But I'd rather consider porting to Python3 since sooner or later everyone'll have to switch to that. | 15:44 |
| BluesKaj | bhara, hang on , I'll find the info url | 15:44 |
| xukun | guys please anybody? | 15:44 |
| bhara | thanx | 15:44 |
| auronandace | bhara: show us a screenshot of it | 15:45 |
| codemagician | theadmin: I use a mysql package and I haven't yet seen it ported to 3 | 15:45 |
| del_ | aurondace: i am pretty sure I have grub on the ubuntu box. all the files seem to be there. | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | bhara, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page | 15:45 |
| del_ | aurondace: like grub.cfg and whatnot… but when i open that file, it says don't edit it directly... | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: if you run: sudo update-grub it should be smooth | 15:45 |
| del_ | that's why i was trying to use these other programs | 15:46 |
| auronandace | del_: you wanted to know about options, the grub documentation that ubottu linked you too has quite a bit of info | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: no, you don't edit it. What do you want to achieve? | 15:46 |
| scanuks | ActionParsnip: hey remember me | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | scanuks: probably not | 15:46 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: my brother uses the computer too, so i wanted it to default to Windows 7... | 15:46 |
| freeroute | xukun: what are you having trouble with? | 15:46 |
| scanuks | ActionParsnip: im the one with the LUBUNTU screen problem | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: why did't you just say that. I know a command | 15:46 |
| scanuks | ActionParsnip: i think lubuntu added openbox manager to LXDE | 15:46 |
| auronandace | del_: grub.cfg is generated by other stuff, the ones you edit are either /etc/default/grub or the files in /etc/grub.d/ | 15:47 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: so i tried to change that using those two other programs, and did the sudo update-grub bit, too… but it didn't work. | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: you don't need programs | 15:47 |

| ActionParsnip | del_: its that simple... | 15:47 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: well, i installed ubuntu yesterday, and when i looked at the instructions for grub, they seemed overwhelming! | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309890 has it all. | 15:48 |
| auronandace | ActionParsnip: it would be better to change the default value in /etc/default/grub | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: the command I gave will sort you. If you just say what you want to achieve we can advise faster | 15:48 |
| Kartagis | nothing can be recorded through microphone although I hear my own voice. any ideas? | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | auronandace: I find it simpler to change the order, plus new kernels will be managed | 15:49 |
| del_ | action parsnip, auronandace: let me read through the forums you just sent me. i don't want to run the command without understanding it a little better! | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: all you said is 'boot loader options' which can be a lot of things | 15:49 |
| auronandace | ActionParsnip: i get a feeling that doing it that way would break stuff when doing an upgrade (good thing i only fresh install) | 15:49 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: i simply meant to make Grub load windows 7, instead of ubuntu by default. | 15:50 |

| xukun | freeroute, thanks m8 I think I found it. Iḿ going to reboot it to test, bb in sec | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | auronandace: break what, the numbers of the files simply dictate where they appear in the menu, so change the numbers only changes that | 15:50 |
| llutz | Dante_Kelly: stop spamming" | 15:50 |
| holstein | Kartagis: sometimes pavucontrol can be helpful, also make sure you have the device choosen properly in whatever application you are trying to record into | 15:50 |
| auronandace | del_: then the file you edit is /etc/default/grub | 15:50 |

| holstein | Kartagis: well, you cant get it routed to whatever application you havent mentioned... you say its working? | 15:53 |

| jrzabott | I'm trying to install unity 5.0... but after add the PPA, nothing happened... update, upgrade, dist-upgrade... reboot and all again... | 15:54 |
| bhara | aurinandacE: what to do now | 15:54 |
| jrzabott | nothing happened... | 15:54 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: yes its the easiest and cleanest in my opinion | 15:54 |
| holstein | Kartagis: OK.. so its working then... its just a matter of routing it... what application are you trying to record with? audacity? | 15:54 |
| auronandace | del_: the cleanest way is to edit the correct file, like the grub documentation says: /etc/default/grub | 15:54 |
| llutz | del_: it is, because if you just change /etc/default/grub it won't work after a kernel-update with a new subversion-number | 15:55 |
| theadmin | jrzabott: We don't support ppas here. The PPA might not have packages for your Ubuntu version, that's all I can say. | 15:55 |

| jrzabott | Ok... sorry... thanks all of you... any tips where I can find some help? | 15:55 |

| mneptok | pushpop: and it's the gnome-shell process itself eating CPU? | 16:05 |

| auronandace | pushpop: no such thing as stock PPA | 16:06 |
| pushpop | mneptok, I tried the drives in the official repos. I had the same problem | 16:07 |
| pushpop | thats why I tried the newest which was in the PPA I added | 16:07 |

| yusufaliboz | hi, I'm installing ubuntu 11.10 via using Windows 7. Ubuntu 11.04 is not supported to my wi-fi card. is 10.10 support? | 16:18 |
| === dominus is now known as rikut | ||
| ActionParsnip | del_: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober; sudo update-grub you can run it from any directory | 16:19 |
| superdave321 | what is the process of getting ubuntu on a usb drive to boot on a mac? | 16:19 |
| freeroute | _Marcus: also, USB flash drives have lower read/write speeds than traditional HDD's, and in effect, traditional HDD's have far lower read/write speeds than SSD's. | 16:19 |
| acicula | yusufaliboz: if its not supported by 11.04 then it wont be in 10.10 either. How do you know it is unsupported? or is it just not working for you atm | 16:19 |
| del_ | my os-prober is named 10_os-prober | 16:19 |
| _Marcus | freeroute: How much slower? | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | superdave321: use unetbootin with an md5 tested ISO | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: change the 10 for 90 | 16:19 |
| superdave321 | ActionParsnip: gonna need some explination... | 16:20 |
| navex_ | hi | 16:20 |
| freeroute | _Marcus: depends, 7200rpm drives are usually around 50mb/s write | 16:20 |
| navex_ | anybddy | 16:20 |
| scanuks | acicula: how can i make lubuntu 11.10 faster by disabling stuff or change etc .. ? | 16:20 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: why 10 to 90? don't i want os-prober to be earlier for windows 7 to be default? | 16:20 |
| Taneb | ActionParsnip, can't hear anything now | 16:20 |
| acicula | scanuks: you have an atom netbook with 1GB ram or something? | 16:20 |
| scanuks | acicula: yep intel atom cpu 1.6ghz and 1gb ram | 16:21 |
| _Marcus | freeroute: How do I see how fast my USB writes? It's 2.0 | 16:21 |
| acicula | scanuks: uhm, lubuntu is a good start. do not install software that adds extra systeam deamons like databases and webservers. You could try and use Chrome for browsing, should be a bit easier on memory consumption | 16:22 |
| Taneb | Ooh, sound! | 16:22 |
| freeroute | _Marcus: usually the ideal speed of USB 2.0 is 480mbit/s duplex, meaning that you would have around 30mb/s read/write | 16:22 |
| acicula | chrome or chromium even, firefox is a bit of a hog | 16:22 |
| _Marcus | freeroute: So not much of a difference? | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: so it moves the ubuntu kernels to the bottom, this will make windows the top | 16:23 |
| scanuks | acicula: i already have chromium , whats the difference between chrome and chromium in ubuntu | 16:23 |
| freeroute | _Marcus: you could try dd'ing something to the drive and back, are you familiar with the dd command? | 16:23 |
| scanuks | acicula: its not the same ? | 16:23 |
| acicula | scanuks: you can check your memory use by typing free -m in a console | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Taneb: yes, you killed the sound process, so obviously yo will get no sound | 16:23 |
| _Marcus | freeroute: Nope | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Taneb: your system isnt as fast as you may think it is | 16:24 |
| Taneb | ActionParsnip, Youtube works now | 16:24 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: sorry, i'm trying to understand - aren't the windows entries contained in os-prober? if i rename that 90, it'll be at the bottom... | 16:24 |
| Taneb | ActionParsnip, mic... still not working? | 16:24 |
| acicula | scanuks: its mostly the same, Chrome is the browser as released by google, chromium is the browser built from the open source portions of chrome. | 16:24 |
| scanuks | acicula: oh i see | 16:24 |
| f0gn0l0 | hi all, when i plug my usb bluetooth adapter this error popups:Failed to set bluetooth power The error reported is: The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files . On windows, the adaper works. Can someone help me please? | 16:24 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: you are getting the idea, if you shove osprober to th bottom it should be ok | 16:25 |
| acicula | scanuks: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome | 16:25 |
| Taneb | Skype seems to have crashed | 16:25 |
| xangua | acicula: scanuks more like chrome is based on chomium with is 100% free/libre | 16:25 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: but i want windows 7 to be the default... | 16:25 |
| freeroute | _Marcus: it's basically a very early and rudimentary tool to copy files from place to place, see http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1320 and man dd for example | 16:25 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: so, wouldn't i want to make it like 01_os-prober? | 16:25 |
| freeroute | _Marcus: basic usage is like this: dd if=<location of input file> of=<location of output file> | 16:26 |
| _Marcus | freeroute: OH! I've used it before for making a pad file for something. | 16:26 |
| freeroute | _Marcus: without the <> of course, but watch out since dd can easily wipe data on the location if done incorrectly | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: try it, you can always boot back to ubuntu to re-edit, just remember what number it used to be | 16:26 |
| theadmin | acicula: Quite the opposite. Chrome is *based* on the Chromium project, and Chromium is quite the original. Chrome (or more correctly, Google Chrome) is what Google made for the binary release. You can see that from the "About Google Chrome" page: http://imm.io/gp1s | 16:26 |
| jiltdil | Hi please tell me chanel for virtual box oracle? | 16:26 |
| Taneb | ActionParsnip, microphone still doesn't work | 16:27 |
| freeroute | _Marcus: for example, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda wipes your whole drive with zeroes ;) | 16:27 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: well, i'm wondering why it didn't work when i tried doing this through grub-customizer | 16:27 |
| melvincv | GRUB scripts are confusing... why can't I just edit grub.cfg like I used to edit menu.lst? | 16:27 |
| theadmin | jiltdil: #vbox | 16:27 |
| jiltdil | theadmin, Thanks | 16:27 |
| _Marcus | freeroute: So if I want to fill it with random stuff making it untracable, I just do /dev/urandom? | 16:28 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: the only things i have in the directory above os-prober are 00_header and 05_debian_theme then it's 10_os-prober | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Taneb: try: echo "options snd-hda-codec-realtek index=-2" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprbe.d/alsa-base.conf | 16:28 |
| del_ | so i thought that would have re-ordered it right there. | 16:28 |
| freeroute | _Marcus: in essence yes, but it's faster to do with /dev/zero and it makes sure data is unrecoverable | 16:28 |
| acicula | scanuks: the atom netbooks will also accept 2gb sodimms, they are cheap as chips if you can find one. Should speed things up quite a bit | 16:28 |
| _Marcus | freeroute: Ah. Isn't /dev/zero just blank spaces? | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: all I know is to shove osprober to the bottom, try it | 16:28 |
| Taneb | ActionParsnip, tee: /etc/modprbe.d/alsa-base.conf: No such file or directory | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Taneb: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf sorry, typo | 16:29 |
| theadmin | melvincv: That's nothing to do with Grub, that's an Ubuntu thing (update-grub will keep overwriting grub.cfg with each kernel upgrade), please look into /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ | 16:29 |
| f0gn0l0 | when i plug my usb bluetooth adapter this error popups:Failed to set bluetooth power The error reported is: The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files . On windows, the adaper works. Can someone help me please? | 16:29 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: ok, going to re-boot and see if it worked. | 16:30 |
| Taneb | options snd-hda-codec-realtek index=-2 | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: you can but as soon as you run: update-grub your efforts will be undone | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Taneb: yes but it is also added to the file, reboot to test | 16:30 |
| Taneb | Okay, bye!¬ | 16:30 |
| theadmin | melvincv: ^ What ActionParsnip said. And that's ran with each kernel/grub update so it's... problematic heh | 16:31 |
| |Anthony| | is there any way to reload a pointer theme without logging out and back in? | 16:31 |
| scanuks | acicula: whats that sodimms ? | 16:31 |
| acicula | scanuks: the type of memory in the netbook | 16:31 |
| acicula | or physical format even | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: if you modify grub properly, not only will boot options be applied properly to each kernel but will be added to all kernels in the future. Much simpler | 16:32 |
| scanuks | acicula: oh so atom cpu is good ? | 16:32 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: back. it didn't work. it's like grub ignored all the changes. | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: did you run: sudo update-grub after making the change? | 16:32 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: i did. | 16:32 |
| acicula | scanuks: idk, i had an atom 1.6 for awhile and it was dreadfully slow. | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: did you rename osprober to 90? | 16:33 |
| tyler | hey guys, i'm new to ubuntu. i just successfully installed photoshop cs5 with wine, now i need to install dreamweaver. could anybody help me out here? the photoshop installer was modified so you didn't need wine tricks, but the dreamweaver installer didn't work. | 16:33 |
| nicofs | My netbook just lust the wireless connection and tells me "wireless is disabled by hardware switch." - i don't have one. any ideas? | 16:33 |
| theadmin | tyler: Please go to #winehq -- we don't support Windows apps here. | 16:33 |
| theadmin | Bah! | 16:33 |
| scanuks | acicula: bleh, damn u asus | 16:33 |
| theadmin | mneptok: Did it again lol sorry | 16:33 |
| tyler | ahh, ok.. i only downloaded the ubuntu server. ^_^ | 16:33 |
| acicula | scanuks: really depends on how you use it, its ok to play some videos and a bit of browsing/typing, just dont expect to much | 16:33 |
| nicofs | i meant "lost"... | 16:34 |
| theadmin | tyler: Server? Why are you running wine on the server edition? That hardly makes sense | 16:34 |
| Taneb | ActionParsnip, thank you! | 16:34 |
| scanuks | acicula: lol yeh , like it named NETbook .. only for internet | 16:34 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: i named it 41_os-prober | 16:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Taneb: there are bugs all over for this.... | 16:34 |
| del_ | it's the last one in the grub.d directory. | 16:34 |
| tyler | no, i do not have #winehq server.. only #ubuntu | 16:35 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: another way: http://saji89.wordpress.com/2010/02/01/how-to-make-windows-the-defaultfirst-entry-in-your-grub2-menu/ | 16:35 |
| konam | hi guys | 16:35 |
| scanuks | acicula: maybe i should try http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/lime.php ? | 16:35 |
| theadmin | tyler: Err... you need to type "/join #winehq" (without quotes). You'll also need to register, likely. | 16:35 |
| theadmin | scanuks: Eh don't try that, that's hardly stable at all | 16:36 |
| konam | i'd like to disable the software center for the installation of individual packages. i generally avoid the software center completely and use synaptic or aptitude for package searching | 16:36 |
| === Guy is now known as Guest23888 | ||
| scanuks | theadmin: what u mean ? it crashes ? | 16:36 |
| theadmin | konam: sudo apt-get remove software-center && sudo apt-get install gdebi | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | konam: if you associate deb files with what you desire, it will work. If you use aptitude then you won't see the GUI app anyhoo | 16:37 |
| theadmin | scanuks: Yes. Also not supported here (this channel only supports Ubuntu distros) | 16:37 |
| scanuks | theadmin: i know im just asking | 16:37 |
| acicula | scanuks: i dont know | 16:38 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: what i'm saying is grub appears to be ignoring my changes to grub.d... | 16:38 |
| konam | theadmin ActionParsnip thanks guys, i think gdebi is my guy :) | 16:38 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: i'll do it again... let's see. | 16:38 |
| theadmin | konam: gdebi is a CLI+GUI tool for installing individual deb packages | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: it will, until you run: sudo update-grub to apply the changes and generate grub.conf | 16:38 |
| theadmin | konam: Use gdebi-core if you want CLI only | 16:38 |
| konam | theadmin yeah, i want the graphical one, it used to be the default one | 16:39 |
| theadmin | konam: True, I have no idea why they had to change that | 16:39 |
| konam | for some reason they decided to overkill it with for individual packages | 16:39 |
| Guest23888 | hello | 16:39 |
| Guest23888 | can someone help me with my Ubuntu install? | 16:39 |
| theadmin | Guest23888: You should just ask the question | 16:39 |
| konam | Guest23888 what do you need to know | 16:39 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: it seems to be updating menu.lst, not grub.cfg. how come? | 16:40 |
| Guest23888 | okay, I'm about to completely wipe my system and reinstall dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu, is there an order that I should follow? | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: you need to install Grub2, sounds like you upgraded from a release with grub legacy | 16:40 |
| Gentoo64 | Guest23888: install windows first | 16:40 |
| daan4711 | Hi, I would like to use 2 keyboards with both different keyboard layouts. I am able to do this by typing "setxkbmap -device 9 us". Then the external keyboard uses another layout. The problem is: when i reboot my computer of replug in my external keyboard, the layout is reverted to the original one. Is there a way to run this command at every plugin? | 16:40 |
| acicula | Guest23888: yup, do windows first, and then install ubuntu | 16:40 |

| del_ | actionparsnip: no, i installed this fresh yesterday, ubuntu 11.10! | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest23888: install Windows but leave some space unpartitioned, then install ubuntu to the free space | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: that uses Grub2 by default | 16:41 |
| cola_ | i switched to fglrx drivers and now my dual monitor worn towk | 16:41 |
| cola_ | i switched to fglrx drivers and now my dual monitor wont work | 16:41 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: okay. so why would sudo update-grub be updating menu.lst instead? | 16:41 |
| Guest23888 | okay, and previous installs of Ubuntu have given me problems, mainly complete system locks due to NVIDIA I think, does that problem still persist? | 16:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest23888: the default install will want to use 100% space, if you manually partition WIndows and leave space unpartitioned you will not have to resize it later | 16:41 |
| Gentoo64 | Guest23888: nvidia is normally quiet solid | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: not sure dude, can you give a pastebin of the output of: cat /etc/lsb-release; uname -a | 16:42 |
| === nicofs is now known as nicofs_ | ||
| mongy | del_: what does sudo update-grub2 do | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest23888: never had an nvidia issue. | 16:42 |
| Guest23888 | good to hear, I'm not sure what the problem was back when I was with Ubuntu originally, I think X was locking up | 16:42 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: what's a pastebin? i'm literally a newb with this stuff. | 16:42 |
| Guest23888 | well, I have two hard drives, one for Ubuntu, one for Windows, should it be pretty simple to allocate one for each install? | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: its a way to show a LOT of text without flooding the channel, you can make one easier with: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; pastebinit /etc/lsb-release | 16:43 |
| Gentoo64 | Guest23888: do you want to choose them from grub, or choose the hdd to boot from on startup | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: pastebinit is a handy pastebin file for CLI, the command will make a URL, what is the URL | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest23888: sure, install Ubuntu to the 2nd drive if you wish, or you could have both OSes on one drive and keep all user data on the other | 16:44 |
| Guest23888 | I think I'd just like to select the OS before booting up | 16:44 |
| nicofs | My netbook tells me "wireless disabled by hardware switch." but there is none - and now i am unable to connect to any wireless network as there is none on display... any ideas? | 16:45 |
| Guest23888 | I think that means grub | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest23888: remember WIndows cannot read Ext4 but ubuntu can read and write to NTFS | 16:45 |

| del_ | mongy: it said command not found | 16:46 |

| nicofs | ActionParsnip, should that have any significant effect...? | 16:46 |
| chrislustic | Can anyone help me with installling dreamweaver ? | 16:46 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: lets see | 16:46 |

| Guest23888 | thanks for your help everyone | 16:48 |

| nicofs | ActionParsnip, what exactly was not in my initial question? | 16:48 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: i just ran the thing you told me to update / reinstall grub | 16:48 |

| yusufaliboz | kroonrs: ubuntu's GUI is very beautiful really.. | 16:56 |
| _Marcus | The Ubuntu minimal installer is horrible. Is there another installer I could try? | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: np man | 16:56 |
| boba88 | ActionParsnip: i already burned the iso and tried to boot from the cd but it does not boot | 16:56 |
| mibr001 | nvidia xserver settings is horrible | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | boba88: doesn't answer my question | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | _Marcus: its a text installer, its not supposed to be pretty | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | _Marcus: you think you can get a full X server and drivers into 12Mb.... | 16:57 |
| nicofs | ActionParsnip, ok, found it... ath9k sounds better | 16:57 |
| _Marcus | ActionParsnip: The text thing isn't what bothers me, it's really quite nice. | 16:57 |
| ActionParsnip | _Marcus: then which bit is 'horrible' the text installer is all it is.. | 16:57 |
| _Marcus | ActionParsnip: I keep freezing up at some spots. | 16:57 |
| boba88 | ActionParsnip: what should i try? i did not understand too | 16:57 |
| ActionParsnip | nicofs: some wifi chips don't like hibernating, so you need to unload and reload the driver to make it work | 16:58 |
| del_ | actionparsnip: so any opinion on best ubuntu irc client? | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | boba88: what happens when you try to boot the CD? | 16:58 |

| ActionParsnip | boba88: why not say that then?? | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | del_: np man | 16:59 |
| mibr001 | what terminal command will replace the current file /etc/x11/ext-left.conf to /etc/x11/single.conf | 16:59 |
| boba88 | ActionParsnip: i mentioned that i tried that above | 17:00 |
| ActionParsnip | boba88: what GPU do you use? | 17:00 |
| yusufaliboz | kroonrs: why sound is bad? | 17:00 |
| Chipzzz | del_: irssi is one of the more popular irc clients and the favorite of many | 17:00 |
| nicofs | ActionParsnip, that would be as in "service networking stop"? | 17:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mibr001: sudo cp /etc/x11/ext-left.conf /etc/x11/single.conf will copy /etc/x11/ext-left.conf to /etc/x11/single.conf | 17:00 |
| kroonrs | yusufaliboz: I don't understand your question | 17:00 |
| craynerd | I know this is a long shot and totally off topic but anyone in here use solidworks? | 17:01 |
| del_ | chipzzz: i'll check that one out too. still in complete newb stage. | 17:01 |

| boba88 | ActionParsnip: what is that? | 17:02 |
| Chipzzz | del_: it runs in a terminal and is very secure... noobs seem to gravitate toward xchat, though | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | nicofs: ok then start networking | 17:02 |
| boba88 | ActionParsnip: how can i set it like that | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | boba88: its a boot option, some nvidia chips don't like the nouveau driver | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | boba88 | 17:02 |
| ubottu | boba88: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 17:02 |

| nicofs | ActionParsnip, returns "networking stop/waiting" - but has no effect on my connection... | 17:03 |
| boba88 | ActionParsnip: i should set this in my bios? | 17:03 |

| boba88 | ActionParsnip: and i do not have the chance to select this option because it hangs with a black screen and then boots from hd | 17:30 |
| urlin2u | benjib, look in the disk utility to see if they show there. | 17:30 |
| boba88 | ActionParsnip: if i put a different boot cd for something else it gives the option to choose boot from the cd | 17:31 |
| benjib | urlin2u, they do show up in gparted, and I can see them using fdisk | 17:31 |
| nug700 | . . . | 17:31 |
| benjib | urlin2u, I can mount the drives manually, but I need them to automatically mount! | 17:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | boba88 use this but use the boot option I gave | 17:31 |
| ubottu | boba88 use this but use the boot option I gave: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:31 |
| theadmin | benjib: Add them to fstab? | 17:31 |
| nug700 | Going here was just a complete WAIST OF TIME... | 17:31 |
| anderson | Chipzzz: but exist an way to do with flash drive? on 8.04? | 17:32 |
| benjib | But shouldn't they automatically get mounted and put in mtab by the system? | 17:32 |
| urlin2u | benjib, sounds like needed adjustment in gconf probably. | 17:32 |
| Chipzzz | mibr001: why don't you make three launchers that say "sudo cp /etc/x11/ext-whatever /etc/x11/xorg.conf" and you'll be done... it doesn't even need a script | 17:32 |
| ericus | Do you think that this is a hardware error? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4375930/fail.jpg | 17:32 |
| benjib | theadmin, they should automatically mount without the need for that | 17:32 |
| benjib | ulin2u, possible, but I've checked the automount setting using dconf and it is set to on | 17:32 |
| boba88 | ubottu: thanks | 17:32 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 17:32 |
| === occamsquattro_ is now known as occamsquattro | ||
| ericus | That happens from time to time, and when I close the lid and open it again it works perfect | 17:33 |
| nug700 | -_- | 17:33 |
| benjib | urlin2u, possible, but I've checked the automount setting using dconf and it is set to on | 17:33 |
| urlin2u | benjib, sometimes I plugin a usb and it does not mount, rarely but it does happen. | 17:33 |
| ericus | If I take a print screen in that state, everything looks OK | 17:33 |
| anderson | Chipzzz: if i miss something, understand? | 17:33 |
| ericus | So I'm guessing my screen is failing on me? | 17:33 |
| benjib | urlin2u, yeah - I need to understand why though. | 17:33 |
| nug700 | hello?? | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ericus: are there any bugs reported? | 17:34 |
| Chipzzz | anderson: i suggest a fresh install so that you can rearrange your hard drive in the process... if you create a partition for "/" and another for "/home", then next time you have to upgrade, you won't have to touch your home directory | 17:34 |
| infernal | mr_os: mr_os, using the sudo gedit /etc/default/grub i open a file that has the proper text in it (according to the tutorial) i want to change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1" the problem i having is saving the file and updating grub, as it gives me the error when i make try to save the file | 17:34 |
| urlin2u | benjib, if they are ntfs partitions they might need a chkdsk or defragging hard to say completely, at least for me. | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | infernal: gksudo for GUI apps like gedit, not sudo | 17:34 |
| mibr001 | Chipzzz: ill see if i can get that working but when i tried it before it said cp: cannot stat `/etc/x11/ext-left.conf': No such file or directory | 17:34 |
| ericus | ActionParsnip: Not that I know of, this started to happen just now, today | 17:34 |
| benjib | urlin2u - they're just plain old fat32. And they also mount fine on my laptop (which is 11.10 as well) | 17:34 |

| ActionParsnip | CTtechguy: go for it | 17:35 |
| ericus | ActionParsnip: what would you call it? "Flickering screen"? or what? | 17:35 |
| Chipzzz | mibr001: you have to start the command with "gksudo cp ..." and set the launcher to run in a terminal window | 17:35 |
| yusufaliboz | yusufaliboz -m | 17:35 |
| nug700 | Can I... please get some help... | 17:36 |

| urlin2u | !help > nug700 | 17:36 |
| ubottu | nug700, please see my private message | 17:36 |
| nug700 | I asked my question 3 times... | 17:36 |
| infernal | Il give it a reboot, it seems it may have worked. | 17:36 |
| Chipzzz | anderson: if i understand, the problem is that you don't have 10.04 on a disk from which you can install... is that right? | 17:36 |
| mibr001 | i typed sudo cp /etc. | 17:36 |
| nug700 | Ok, I installed ubuntu 11 yestarday, updated my NVIDIA drivers to the current version. but for some reason, now it isn't detecting my second monitor... I'm also getting many other issues. | 17:37 |
| yusufaliboz | ActionParsnip: where? | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | yusufaliboz: in a terminal | 17:37 |
| ikonia | nug700: did you update them from nvidia.com / | 17:37 |
| CTtechguy | Has anyone run into this issue on lubuntu 11.10? - when I close the lid on my laptop is goes into suspend but when I open the lid all I get is a blank screen and no video | 17:37 |
| boba88 | ubottu: again i think you did not understand me well, I am not able to boot from the cd at all... and the nomodest option is available once we have booted from the cd | 17:37 |
| ubottu | boba88: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:37 |
| nug700 | I will list the commands I used in a sec | 17:37 |

| ActionParsnip | CTtechguy: are there any bugsreported? Do you have the latest BIOS? | 17:37 |
| ikonia | nug700: did you get the nvidia drivers from nvdia.com ? | 17:37 |
| urlin2u | CTtechguy, have you tapped a key to reinstate? | 17:37 |
| mibr001 | i tried typing sudo cp /etc/x11/ext-left.conf /etc/x11/single.conf (same as xorg.conf) into terminal and thats what it said | 17:38 |
| nug700 | No | 17:38 |
| nug700 | I tried those before though | 17:38 |
| boba88 | ActionParsnip: again i think you did not understand me well, I am not able to boot from the cd at all... and the nomodest option is available once we have booted from the cd | 17:38 |
| ikonia | nug700: where did you get them / | 17:38 |
| anderson | Chipzzz: yeah! ever i download using update manager i can't end the installation process... | 17:38 |
| CTtechguy | urlin2u: yep no response | 17:38 |
| nug700 | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 17:38 |

| nug700 | sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 17:38 |
| CTtechguy | ActionParsnip: older laptop with the latest bios | 17:38 |
| urlin2u | CTtechguy, is your swap equal to your ram, this usually is for hibernate though. | 17:38 |
| ActionParsnip | boba88: its before the kernel starts to boot, you can apply bootoptions to the liveCD as it is before ANYTHING loads | 17:38 |
| ikonia | nug700: ok - a 3rd party PPA, that's not something that is supported | 17:39 |
| yusufaliboz | ActionParsnip: Linux ubuntu 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 17:39 |
| anderson | Chipzzz: so i think if i install using a flash drive with 11.04 it will work better than refresh... | 17:39 |
| |Anthony| | what starts pointer services | 17:39 |
| ikonia | nug700: PPA's are made by people/groups that take ownership for the stability and support of their software | 17:39 |
| mibr001 | ok i tried the gksudo no error... no change either what do i have to do to get it to change? | 17:39 |

| nug700 | Hopw do i uninstall them? | 17:40 |
| anderson | Chipzzz: i just want get the latest version | 17:40 |
| Chipzzz | anderson: because 8.04 is already eol, you can't upgrade using update manager anymore. The clean install is my suggestion... but i would advise setting up your hard drive as described before | 17:40 |
| ikonia | nug700: no idea, it depends what they change doing the install, this is part of the risk of using a PPA | 17:40 |
| urlin2u | sidb, addressing some one without be asked is not a good habiot. | 17:40 |
| yusufaliboz | ActionParsnip: I'm waiting.. | 17:40 |

| Chipzzz | anderson: because that way your subsequent upgrades will be effortless | 17:41 |
| Steevca | I can't start any program with wine.What can be the problem? | 17:41 |
| ikonia | nug700: following random webpages isn't the best approach | 17:41 |
| ikonia | nug700: using official ubuntu resources is always the best method | 17:41 |
| sidb | urlin2u: sorry abt the delay in posting the querry... was looking for it from the history | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | yusufaliboz: if you had 32bit i'd have it read to rock but I'll tweak it for you :) | 17:41 |
| PoWeRKiL1 | hi | 17:41 |
| PoWeRKiL1 | I got an error 255 when I'm compiling my new kernel under ubuntu | 17:42 |
| ikonia | PoWeRKiL1: why are you compiling a kernel ? | 17:42 |
| nug700 | Ok.. but I tried installing the official drivers.. I stoped lightdm, installed the drivers, but when I rebooted, it wouldn't boot up. | 17:42 |
| sidb | and i asked actionparnsip in particular as someone on this very irc suggested me to ask him abt my problem | 17:42 |
| urlin2u | sidb, I don't care it just looked like you were asking for help without being addressed if we know each other in the channel that is still shaky ground. | 17:42 |
| PoWeRKiL1 | ikonia I have to compile specific driver for a device under kernel 3.0 | 17:42 |
| ikonia | PoWeRKiL1: then you don't need to compile the kernel | 17:43 |
| anderson | Chipzzz: so if can't upgrade, why i just format? do you know? seems much more secure to me, because im very distractive and i just was made this process over than three times... | 17:43 |
| zykotick9 | nug700: installing nvidia.com's official driver, is not the ubuntu "official" method for installing nvidia drivers... | 17:43 |
| PoWeRKiL1 | ikonia yes I do I need kernel 3.0 | 17:43 |
| ikonia | PoWeRKiL1: what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 17:43 |
| sidb | ok man chill. i got it. i am using irc for the first time. | 17:43 |
| nug700 | Then.. what is? | 17:43 |
| anderson | *distracted | 17:43 |
| PoWeRKiL1 | 11.04 | 17:43 |
| ikonia | PoWeRKiL1: that comes with a 3.0 kernel doesn't it ? | 17:44 |
| sidb | So here is my querry again. i have installed Ubuntu-11.10 using Gnome-3 on an HP-G6-1219tu laptop. but i cannot use my bluetooth. gnome`s bluetooth manager says i have no bluetooth adapter found and blueman doesnt show anything. Please help. | 17:44 |

| Chipzzz | anderson: will you lose any important data if you just reformat? | 17:44 |
| urlin2u | sidb, your attitude is not IRC friendly, good luck with that. | 17:44 |
| ikonia | PoWeRKiL1: what device needs a 3.0 kernel ? | 17:44 |
| Steevca | I can't start any program using wine.What can be the problem? | 17:44 |

| Chipzzz | anderson: download the latest ubuntu from ubuntu.org and on the download page you will find directions for installation from a usb drive | 17:51 |
| taylorchrome | ill try again thougnh | 17:51 |
| ariana | taylorchrome, it is standard place for files, but might be different location | 17:52 |
| taylorchrome | ariana ok ill double check | 17:52 |
| Chipzzz | anderson: basically, you just write out the iso file to the usb drive, run a live usb version, and do an install from that | 17:52 |

| gtg_bansal | how to decrease battery utilisation in ubuntu 11.10 | 19:03 |
| infernal | trism: thanks a bunch | 19:03 |
| administrator_ | pangolin: i appreciate the help alot, i'm sorry but what is "cd to the folder"? | 19:03 |
| pangolin | administrator_: when you extracted the tar.gz it created a folder with the .sh file in it on your Desktop | 19:04 |
| MonkeyDust | administrator_ cd means change directory | 19:04 |
| Chipzzz | gtg_bansal: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/09/how-to-increase-extend-battery-life-in.html | 19:04 |
| pangolin | administrator_: cd (change directory) to that folder and then try running the commands | 19:04 |
| administrator_ | awesome i am learning | 19:06 |
| administrator_ | how can i change the directory of the folder? | 19:06 |
| pangolin | administrator_: glad to hear it :) you may want to have" /msg ubottu !cli " in your irc client, ubottu is the channel bot filled with interesting stuff to learn from :) | 19:07 |
| milen8204 | !nounity | 19:07 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:07 |

| Gentoo64 | administrator_: ioen a terminal (it will open in your home folder) then type cd Desktop | 19:09 |
| administrator_ | alright | 19:09 |
| Gentoo64 | administrator_: then type ls which will list directories to cd into, cd into that folder you need | 19:09 |
| Chipzzz | anderson: you're getting really, really close :-)... if you empty format the usb drive first and repeat what you just did, you should be all set :-) | 19:10 |
| pangolin | administrator_: yeah, I should have said cd to the directory, old windows habit of calling things folders. but if you want to move the directory you can use the mv command. this is where checking out the info on !cli will be helpful to you. | 19:10 |

| RedWar | thomasj well, I have done more research, I could not remove any more due to codependency issues... so I researched more on downgrade. Apparently if I downgrade to libgcc-4.6.0-9 , this might resolve this issue.. but when I use the yum downgrade.. it tells me only version 10 is available.. Can't downgrade libgcc. | 20:09 |
| dadrc | ikonia, aight. what do you need? | 20:10 |
| Jak2000 | bobweaver: done! | 20:10 |

| its_falling | ssta: "the clueless?" | 20:18 |
| cadz | i didnt do it in the directory nvm | 20:18 |

| havermyer | cadz: lol ctrl-x, sry | 20:18 |
| havermyer | auronandace: doesn't seem to make a difference if i have gparted open at the same time | 20:19 |
| havermyer | auronandace: so... yes and no | 20:19 |
| ssta | its_falling: originally? I bought a bootload of 486s cheap and built systems from sourcce on them | 20:19 |

| Ankhwatcher | pragmaticenigma: there isn't for cadz, jsut for me | 20:34 |
| fr0stbyte | i did set my /etc/profile and pam.so to umask 002 | 20:34 |

| boba88 | ikonia: will try with that and if that does not work gonna install 10.04 64 bit and then upgrade if necessary | 20:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | Ankhwatcher: do you have the XEN kernel enabled? | 20:35 |
| fr0stbyte | that was it | 20:36 |
| Ankhwatcher | pragmaticenigma: now the linux box cannot detect the monitor resolutions and will only allow 640x480 | 20:36 |
| Ankhwatcher | pragmaticenigma: I have no idea, when did that come about? | 20:36 |
| fr0stbyte | haha! wow thanks zykotick9 its the simple things | 20:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | Ankhwatcher: oops... sorry... didn't realize KVM meant something else... Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse? | 20:37 |

| edwardthefma | leagle action | 20:38 |
| ikonia | tyler: macbuntu is a terrible theme product that will potentially cause issues with your machine | 20:38 |
| ikonia | edwardthefma: not something #ubuntu helps with | 20:38 |
| ikonia | edwardthefma: ubuntu technical support only | 20:39 |
| tyler | ikonia: what would you suggest? | 20:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | cadz, ocassionally things are omitted from the default file, you should add it if it isn't there | 20:39 |
| ikonia | tyler: not using it, | 20:39 |
| Ankhwatcher | cadz: yeah sometimes the files move around, old tutorials can say the wrong thing | 20:39 |
| mongy | tyler: I think mac4lin is a little better | 20:39 |
| cadz | man why should every new person go through this | 20:39 |
| pushpop | When I leave my computer idle for a period of time my gnome-shell uses 90-100% cpu. I'm running 3.2.1 with a 9800gtx with the most current nvidia-current drivers. When I run "r" everything returns to normal. Any idea's? | 20:40 |

| havermyer | for anyone who was following my problems earlier, I finally found the answer - I had to sudo dmraid -r -E /dev/sda to remove old raid metadata that was on the disk | 20:40 |

| ikonia | tyler: I'm not laughing, you like how a mac looks and works, use a mac | 20:41 |
| gdea73 | I've got them set to 774 (owner is g73net:www-data), but I want new files to be automatically set to 774 when created or copied into /var/www | 20:41 |
| Ankhwatcher | pragmaticenigma: yes, I just went to /etc and found it | 20:42 |
| gdea73 | is there any relatively easy way to accomplish this? | 20:42 |
| mongy | tyler: if you grab the mac4lin file and extract it, ignore the install script, just look in the folder and you will see the theme files and icon theme file, pretty much all you need. It wont install a dock or any of that but, yo ucan do that yourself. | 20:42 |
| MacGyverNL | I'm on an ubuntu machine which I have no administrative privileges on, and want to change my default editor. update-alternatives is sysadmin only, afaik - so how do I change it, aside from simply setting EDITOR in my bashrc? | 20:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | tyler: there might be a spot between your magnifying class and the drop box icon to let you drag the block over... you might be able to right click there and unlock it so you can move it | 20:42 |
| cfhowlett | tyler: the backgrounds are readily available, the panel appearances are likely already in system or available and the AWN provides most of the panel effects. DIY | 20:42 |
| pragmaticenigma | tyler: you could also see if trying to move the clock to the right forces the icons to line up as you prefer | 20:42 |
| acicula | MacGyverNL: whats wrong with setting the EDITOR variable? | 20:42 |
| ubuntuaddicted | how about using all 3? I love it! | 20:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | Ankhwatcher: K... It might be worth renaming it to something like xorf.conf__bak and reboot... let the system try and rebuild it | 20:43 |
| tyler | pragmaticenigma: i tried that, didn't seem to work. | 20:43 |
| MacGyverNL | acicula: Considering the existence of update-alternatives I figured there might be a "cleaner" way. | 20:43 |
| dlentz | the system won't automatically generate xorg.conf | 20:43 |
| ubuntuaddicted | OS X, Windows, and Debian based Linux. | 20:44 |
| acicula | MacGyverNL: nope, update-alternatives is system wide | 20:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | tyler: unfortunatly custom spins of ubuntu like that aren't supported here... at the place you downloaded, there should be some sort of support forum that your question might be better suited for | 20:44 |
| ubuntuaddicted | who's buying UbuntuTV when it comes out? | 20:44 |
| tyler | pragmaticenigma: you're tha man! thanks dude. your first suggestion worked. (: | 20:44 |
| ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: this is a support channel - not ubuntu TV polling channel | 20:44 |
| Ankhwatcher | pragmaticenigma: okay, I'll give that a try. Back on in a bit. | 20:44 |
| ikonia | ubuntuaddicted: what are you talking about ? | 20:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | cool tyler, glad to hear it | 20:44 |
| ubuntuaddicted | buwahhahahaa, oops. thought I was in Ubuntu-offtopic section. see ya | 20:44 |
| gdea73 | anyway... so I have permissions 774 (drwxrwxr--) set recursively on /var/www, and all the files and directories inside. I just want NEW files to be automatically set to 774 when copied there. Ideas, please? | 20:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | tyler: One thing I have learned when trying to move stuff around is sometimes the "handle" to activate the container is hidden right next to the object you want to move | 20:45 |
| cha0sbg | @everyone: Bumblebee or Ironhide, which is better ? | 20:45 |
| Galvatron | tyler: I strongly recommend avoiding unofficial "remixes" of Ubuntu | 20:45 |
| oCean | cha0sbg: no polls here | 20:45 |
| cha0sbg | oCean: I just wanna know which to install :) | 20:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | gdea73: About the only thing I have seen that works, is to set a script to scan the folder and do the permissions setting... otherwise you will have to manually set the permissions each time you add a file | 20:45 |
| oCean | cha0sbg: try them both, decide for yourself | 20:46 |
| cfhowlett | cha0sbg: costs zero to add both and see for yourself... | 20:46 |
| gdea73 | pragmaticenigma: alright, that makes sense... are there any pre-written scripts for use for that purpose? | 20:46 |
| tyler | pragmaticenigma: yeah, thanks for the info. that seems to be what was wrong. | 20:46 |
| Galvatron | tyler: In general, they are a source of strange issues, not occuring in regular version. if you want to customize the system, do it on your own, so you will have a full control over the process. | 20:46 |
| recon69_lap | conference? on a sunday!!!! | 20:46 |
| MacGyverNL | acicula: Tx, I'll just stick with EDITOR then. | 20:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | gdea73: I don't know of any, because it's usually considered a bad idea since the script could edit the wrong files unintentionally | 20:46 |
| cha0sbg | Isn't this for support and share of experience ? | 20:47 |
| === recon69_lap is now known as recon_lap | ||
| ikonia | cha0sbg: sure, ubuntu support | 20:47 |
| tyler | pragmaticenigma: one more issue, do you know how i can get the sound control button back on the panel? | 20:48 |
| zacarias | Hi. How can I delete the contents of a memory card? I tried deleting, running chown and rm -rf commands, and it keeps saying that I have no permissions :-( | 20:48 |
| cha0sbg | yea ... but since there wont be support for Optimus untill 12.04 cant i ask for suggestions, and people who already stuggled with the issue ? | 20:48 |
| ikonia | cha0sbg: what are you talking about | 20:48 |
| mongy | zacarias: is it write protected? | 20:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | tyler: I saw an article a while back... let me see if I can find it for oyu | 20:48 |
| cha0sbg | ikonia: Just nevermind ... | 20:49 |
| ikonia | no problem | 20:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | cha0sbg: there is a support channel for future releases of ubuntu | 20:49 |
| recon_lap | pragmaticenigma: add the indicator applet to your toolbar | 20:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | tahnk recon_lap ... tyler: right click on the panel, click add, choose indicator applet | 20:50 |
| pangolin | cha0sbg: #ubuntu+1 for support and discussion of 12.04 and maybe take a look at http://www.ruyk.com/tech/?p=68 | 20:51 |
| gdea73 | pragmaticenigma: ah okay, you're probably right - eventually I'd like some files to have permissions 775, in the case of PHP scripts which must be run by the user. Ah well, thanks for giving a useful answer... the stuff I found on various forums was merely confusing :P | 20:51 |
| Karmaon | Is anybody else annoyed by the fact that chromium asks me to sign in with a google account? | 20:51 |

| pragmaticenigma | Karmaon: You don't HAVE to login, it's just helpful if you want to | 20:52 |
| recon_lap | corporations being evil is all to common and everyones problem ;-) | 20:53 |
| Karmaon | pragmaticenigma: I thought google only had integrated chrome with their services, not chrimoum | 20:53 |
| Karmaon | heh, time to switch to firefox | 20:53 |
| zacarias | mongy: no, I checked that, it's unlocked | 20:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | Karmaon: Chromium is the development version of Chrome... so somethings are in both | 20:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | Karmaon: But you are not required to login, it's optional and you should be able to just use Chromium | 20:54 |
| === dan__ is now known as Guest42604 | ||
| Galvatron | cha0sbg: Using alpha releases makes no sense, unless you are planning to actively participate in the development. | 20:55 |
| theadmin | Karmaon: Both Chromium and Google Chrome are Google products, except Google Chrome includes closed-source plugins of some sorts (Flash, PDF reader, etc) | 20:57 |
| theadmin | Karmaon: You don't have to sign in to Chromium if you don't want to... Though you won't have the Sync | 20:57 |
| Karmaon | theadmin: Yeah, I understand. | 20:58 |
| boba88 | ikonia: the alternate works better | 20:59 |
| boba88 | ikonia: now i am in the installation process and the installation asks me to choose between "etho:Atheros Communcations L2 fast ethernet" and "eth1: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Rtl-....." | 21:00 |
| boba88 | ikonia: what would you suggest to choose? | 21:00 |
| ikonia | well, they are different network cards | 21:01 |
| LjL | boba88: those are network cards. you apparently have two of them. you need to be the one deciding which one to use :P | 21:01 |
| ikonia | boba88: one is your wireless, one is your wired, | 21:01 |
| ikonia | boba88: pick which one you want to use | 21:01 |

| boba88 | ikonia: eth0 is the lan? and the other one wlan | 21:02 |
| ikonia | boba88: correct | 21:02 |
| boba88 | ikonia: thanks | 21:02 |
| pragmaticenigma | tyler: Nope, can't have one without the other | 21:02 |
| Galvatron | theadmin: To my knowledge, Chromium is an independent, open-source project, being rebranded by Google, after adding their proprietary stuff. | 21:02 |
| nina | hi, is it normal that linux has some problems with web connection | 21:03 |
| nina | wireless connection | 21:03 |
| nina | ? | 21:03 |
| dlentz | nina, no | 21:03 |
| MonkeyDust | Galvatron i havent followed, but Chrome is based on Chromium | 21:03 |
| theadmin | Galvatron: Might be the case too | 21:03 |
| tyler | pragmaticenigma: shouldn't the network icon be within the indicator applet as well? | 21:03 |
| dlentz | nina, do you know what wireless chip you have? | 21:04 |
| theadmin | Galvatron: However, Chromium definetly has Google bits in it (The Sync requires a Google account, for instance) | 21:04 |
| nina | no, how can i check it? | 21:04 |
| dlentz | lspci | 21:04 |
| nina | i have linux for about year | 21:05 |
| bobweaver | nina: sudo lshw -c networking | 21:05 |
| Galvatron | nina: And use pastebin, to not fllod the channel | 21:06 |
| trism | tyler: the mail icon is indicator-messages, uninstall that and it will be gone | 21:06 |
| nina | sorry | 21:07 |

| CXIV | Are LTS point releases only fixing bugs or adding also software updates? | 21:12 |
| ikonia | CXIV: depends. | 21:12 |
| cfhowlett | !lts|cxiv | 21:12 |
| ubottu | cxiv: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 21:12 |
| ikonia | cfhowlett: how is that helpful ? | 21:12 |
| CXIV | ikonia Is it possible to disable software updates? | 21:13 |
| pragmaticenigma | CXIV: If you want software updates, you will need to enable backports | 21:13 |
| ikonia | CXIV: sure, but why would you want to do that ? | 21:13 |
| MonkeyDust | just don't update, i'd say | 21:14 |
| CXIV | ikonia Because im ex-debian user? :D | 21:14 |
| theadmin | CXIV: Most of the time the software in x.x.x releases is *somewhat* higher than in x.x, but not anything you can't get via apt updates | 21:14 |
| ssta | because updating production servers isn't something to do automatically? | 21:14 |
| ikonia | CXIV: again - why would you wnat to not update ? | 21:14 |
| theadmin | ssta: Ubuntu doesn't have automatic updates... | 21:14 |
| CXIV | ikonia I want only bugfixes. | 21:14 |
| meetri | anyone play with cinnamon desktop ? | 21:14 |
| theadmin | CXIV: That's not possible... bugfixes ARE updates. | 21:14 |
| theadmin | meetri: I have. It's cute, but a bit slow. | 21:15 |
| MonkeyDust | disable update manager and don't update manually | 21:15 |
| ssta | theadmin: umm, yes it does...it's a setting in update mangler | 21:15 |
| ikonia | CXIV: you can manually select what updates to apply, | 21:15 |
| CXIV | OK | 21:15 |
| CXIV | Thanks :) | 21:15 |
| ikonia | CXIV: you'll find that software isn't updated at a version level though, so I think your concerns are false | 21:15 |
| theadmin | ssta: Oh... I don't remember when I last used update manager xD | 21:15 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: I don't always want updates on my MythTV machine because sometimes certain supporting applications break things within MythTV causing me to lose the ability to watch certain video files and stuff | 21:16 |
| kremlon | http://ideone.com/B52ZZ | 21:16 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: MythTV machine runs Mythbuntu 10.04 for that reason | 21:16 |
| Blue11 | pragmaticenigma: what is mythtv? | 21:16 |
| CXIV | Anyway you recommend updating if I don't have problems with a system? | 21:16 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: I'd suspect you have external repos enabled | 21:16 |
| ikonia | CXIV: yes | 21:16 |
| ssta | CXIV: dependson other things.. | 21:17 |
| kremlon | http://ideone.com/B52ZZ | 21:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: At this point the only software updates that come for 10.04 are security patches | 21:17 |
| ikonia | kremlon: repeating that doesn't change anything | 21:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | !mythtv | 21:17 |
| ubottu | mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv | 21:17 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: so you are suggesting that security updates are breaking mythTV compatability / | 21:17 |
| kremlon | mystical is'nt it :o <-3 :o | 21:17 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: NO, i'm saying that sometimes applicaiton updates (unrealted to security) like upgrading firefox to 10 versus the security patch update for 3.x | 21:18 |
| meetri | maybe this is general question. I installed cinnamon ( i kinda like it ) and now when I start it, no desktop appears. I purged it, re-installed it. and still no desktop. Turns out my gnome desktop was also borked, but I was able to just clear the .gnome settings and i was back in business. what can i do for this cinnamon desktop i was using? and ideas? thanks | 21:18 |
| ece_man | do you guys think that Ubuntu will live long enough still given that Linux Mint is about to take its top spot? | 21:18 |
| ssta | depends what the system is for, and what the impact of downtime might be | 21:18 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: firefox updates should not touch mythtv | 21:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | ece_man: That isn't a topic for this chat room | 21:18 |
| ece_man | anyway linux mint is based from ubuntu | 21:18 |
| ece_man | oh sorry | 21:18 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: It was an example | 21:18 |
| ikonia | pragmaticenigma: I'll re-phrase, no software from the ubuntu repos should cause a conflict/break with other software from the ubuntu repos | 21:19 |
| CXIV | ece_man Linux Mint is Slow-Mo derviative of Ubuntu. | 21:19 |
| ece_man | yeah i agree still using ubuntu :) | 21:19 |
| ssta | CXIV: not sure that's a fair assessment...but it's not really on topic anyway | 21:20 |
| pragmaticenigma | ikonia: Typically your right, but I have had issues with codecs | 21:20 |
| mongy | ece_man: I see no point in derivatives like mine when ubuntu has other DE's | 21:20 |

| boba88 | ikonia: in the text based alternate installer i do not have the option to set the mount point of the swap partition | 21:21 |
| meetri | pangolin: well not really. i am running it on ubuntu | 21:21 |
| ikonia | ece_man: because based on is not the same as "the same" - it's personal opinion, people like different things | 21:21 |
| ikonia | boba88: there is no mount point for swap partitions | 21:22 |
| meetri | pangolin: but i must say i am also running gnome 3.2 | 21:22 |
| chuck1310 | Mint has a nice gnome3 customized desktop manager | 21:22 |
| boba88 | ikonia: i made it logical 3 gig, and do not mount..,., but then the partitioner warned me that it wont be used at all | 21:22 |
| boba88 | ikonia: is that ok | 21:22 |
| boba88 | ? | 21:22 |
| ikonia | boba88: you don't have a mount point for sawp | 21:23 |

| boba88 | LjL: you mean Label : swap | 21:23 |
| chuck1310 | meetri: it's a nice Linux distribution for casual user like Ubuntu but I prefer Ubuntu | 21:24 |
| spotterdox | im trying to install lrssi client in ubuntu but i need help | 21:24 |
| LjL | boba88: no, i don't think that's what i mean. it should be of *type* swap, the label is unimportant | 21:24 |
| boba88 | LjL: this is the alternate installer and it is not that much friendly | 21:24 |
| LjL | boba88: well yeah i have no clue right now where in the alternate installer you decide the partition type. but somehow you'll have told it that it's going to be a swap partition? | 21:25 |
| pangolin | spotterdox: you mean irssi? | 21:25 |
| meetri | check1310: i like the direction it's going, i guess it's still a bit too buggy for everyday use. | 21:25 |

| pangolin | spotterdox: that is fine, we all start at the beginning :) | 21:26 |
| LjL | boba88: but that's after creating the partition, no? you should probably decide the type right when creating it. | 21:26 |
| spotterdox | pangolin: :) | 21:26 |
| LjL | rmc3: ? | 21:26 |
| pangolin | spotterdox: so what problem you having? | 21:26 |
| boba88 | LjL: there was only option for logical and primary | 21:26 |
| spotterdox | pangolin: idk which file i need to download http://www.irssi.org/download | 21:26 |
| boba88 | LjL: and i choose logical | 21:26 |
| kremlon | i know. | 21:26 |
| pangolin | spotterdox: none. open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install irssi | 21:27 |
| LjL | boba88: that's fine, but somewhere there must also be the (filesystem) type. if i knew where it is exactly i'd tell you, but i don't | 21:27 |
| ikonia | LjL: it's set when you create the partitions, you set the type when you set the file system to "swap" | 21:27 |
| pangolin | spotterdox: or you can alternatively use the Software Centre to install it using the GUI | 21:27 |
| LjL | ikonia: yeah that's what i said, but he said he only had "logical" and "primary" as options. i'm not familiar enough with the alternate installer to guide him exactly. | 21:28 |
| spotterdox | pangolin: i tried to do the terminal thing but it says "E: Unable to locate package irssi " | 21:28 |
| boba88 | LjL: found it | 21:28 |

| Zau | Hello, how can I upgrade Wubi to latest release, please (I mean, to releases following 11.10)... | 21:37 |
| DrCode | ok | 21:37 |
| DrCode | found it | 21:37 |
| DrCode | thanx | 21:37 |
| theadmin | Zau: Precise is not released yet. 11.10 is the latest. | 21:38 |
| cfhowlett | Zau: next release will be 12.04 in April. | 21:38 |
| Andrew131 | Im still having trouble with my external drive. I get a message in the logs saying that the high speed usb device is reset then any process that interacts with the drive (reading writing file) freezes | 21:38 |
| boba88 | ikonia: what should i enter for the proxy information, in case i want to access the outside world as suggested by the installer... i guess i need this? | 21:39 |
| Andrew131 | The best I can tell it happens when writing a large file to the drive | 21:39 |
| ikonia | boba88: depends on your network, | 21:39 |
| boba88 | ikonia: what do you mean it depends, lan wlan or something else | 21:39 |
| ikonia | boba88: depends on how your network is set up | 21:40 |
| Zau | Thanks guys, the reason I wish to get latest release of Wubi is for installing the newest Ubuntu Business Desktop Remix: Wubi 11.10 cannot handle it. Any suggestions? | 21:40 |
| mvrick95 | looking forward to ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin! | 21:40 |
| cfhowlett | Zau: dual boot? | 21:40 |
| cfhowlett | Zau: wubit is not the best option for long-term use says the developer | 21:41 |
| Somelauw | OMG, I installed eclipse manually and everyhting is broken. | 21:41 |
| boba88 | ikonia: i never needed to know this information with the other installer for ubuntu (not the alternate one...) and thats why i am confused now if i actually need this | 21:41 |
| cfhowlett | Zau: also, virtualizatoin e.g. virtualbox, vmware... | 21:42 |
| Zau | <cfhowlett> you're right: it's not for me. it's for newbies... | 21:42 |
| ikonia | boba88: then don't put it in | 21:42 |
| auronandace | Somelauw: you were warned | 21:42 |
| Andrew131 | Any ideas? | 21:42 |
| cfhowlett | Zau: ah. fwiw: I run 10.04 but business spin 11.10 installed flawlessly in my virtualbox | 21:42 |
| Andrew131 | Im seriously considering going out and buying a pci express usb 3.0 card just to keep ruling things out | 21:43 |
| boba88 | ikonia: thanks | 21:43 |
| Zau | <cfhowlett> thanks | 21:43 |
| ray_ | anyone seen linux have an issue with all capital leter files when listing images in ebay over firefox browser? | 21:43 |

| Zau | guntbert, apologies | 21:47 |
| Zau | thanks guys. have a nice time :) | 21:47 |
| cfhowlett | Zau: should have mentioned, virtualbox also installed ubuntustudio 12.04 Alpha no problems... | 21:47 |
| jrib | ray_: not really sure what your issue is but consider the possibility it is server-side | 21:47 |
| Zau | cfhowlett, ok, thanks | 21:48 |
| ray_ | jrib. possibly. but this is hard to tell | 21:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | ray_: I would first try disabling any extension you have installed on Firefox | 21:48 |
| Andrew131 | Has anyone else had this weird behavior with usb external drive? It gets "reset" then all the processes using it are blocked? | 21:49 |

| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: What type of drive is it? | 21:49 |
| Andrew131 | Western Digital Essential 2TB drive | 21:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: Do you notice the drive spinning up and down when you try to access the drive with that program? | 21:50 |
| Andrew131 | The best I can tell it happens when a large file is written to it | 21:50 |
| Zillow | question: how can I pipe the output of find into nano? example of what I think might work but does not "find -name cupsd.conf | nano" | 21:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: I was thinking it could be something with poor power management which is causing Ubuntu to unmount the drive which would cause the program lock issue | 21:51 |
| theadmin | Zillow: Not really possible. This will work: find -name cupsd.conf > file.out && nano file.out | 21:51 |
| pragmaticenigma | Zillow: there isn't an easy way to do that... it's best to cut and paste the directory from your result to your command to start nano | 21:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | Zillow: If your in command line only mode... you might need something like xargs to pass the result from find to nano | 21:52 |
| Andrew131 | Well the drive doesn't get unmounted | 21:52 |
| Andrew131 | Its gets reset | 21:52 |
| Andrew131 | One sec Ill grab the notice | 21:52 |
| Zillow | using xargs could do it possibly? | 21:53 |
| Andrew131 | reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd | 21:53 |
| Somelauw | Okay, just kidding. It is not really broken. It is just that I didn't uninstall the old version properly. | 21:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: It might not be the drive, but the USB controller... | 21:53 |
| Kamiccolo | uPnP V.S. manual port mapping. Logically uPnP should be slower. Is that true? | 21:53 |
| Andrew131 | once that notice hits any process interacting with the drive (issuing ls, reading file, running fdisk, etc…) gets blocked | 21:53 |
| Andrew131 | pragmaticenigma: I was thinking the same thing | 21:54 |
| Somelauw | The new version works. I recommend upgrading as well. | 21:54 |
| livia84 | ciao a tutti | 21:54 |
| Andrew131 | Im thinking of getting a PCI Express controller to rule that out | 21:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: Are you using any USB hubs to connect the drives? Otherwise I would think you might want to get the extra controller | 21:55 |
| Somelauw | The only disadvantage is that the new version is slightly more manual work. | 21:55 |

| fruitbag | I've installed Quake 2, but even though the executable is located at /usr/local/games/quake2, I am prompted that such a file does not exist. | 21:58 |
| ikonia | fruitbag: how are you running it ? | 21:58 |
| fruitbag | Even double-clicking the executable gives the same message. | 21:58 |
| Zillow | okay I figured it out I had it backwards, should actually be "nano `find / -iname httpd.conf`" | 21:58 |
| fruitbag | ikonia, I've tried running both from the terminal and clicking it. | 21:59 |
| Zillow | or in my case nano `find / -iname cupsd.conf` | 21:59 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: Something that occured to me.. I know that my USB controller has issues with large drives attached for booting and sometimes after the computer is running... It would be a very good idea to try a seperate controller card | 21:59 |
| Zillow | I am going to use that string variation till death! | 22:00 |
| === mvrick95 is now known as mavrick95 | ||
| Loshki | Zillow: find has to search the whole filesystem each time you run it. Much more efficient to know where your files are and edit them directly e.g. nano /etc/cupsd.conf | 22:02 |
| fruitbag | Any thoughts, guys? | 22:02 |
| fruitbag | How is it that I am told the executable does not exist when it clearly does. | 22:03 |
| fruitbag | ? | 22:03 |
| Sedated | or just `locate cupsd.conf` | 22:03 |
| capcook | fruitbag: give us the command you use from terminal | 22:03 |
| Sherlock_ | anyone use a command line twitter client other than Twidge? | 22:03 |
| fruitbag | capcook, ./quake2 | 22:03 |
| Oer | fruitbag, i think Quake needs wine | 22:03 |
| Oer | !wine | 22:03 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 22:03 |
| capcook | that's it | 22:03 |
| fruitbag | Oer, it's not a Windows executable. | 22:03 |
| capcook | its wrong | 22:03 |
| Viman | maybe it's not executable? | 22:03 |
| Viman | you need to make it so | 22:03 |
| zykotick9 | fruitbag: i bet your on amd64 right? | 22:04 |
| Viman | chmod +x quake2 | 22:04 |
| fruitbag | I'll try that, Viman. | 22:04 |
| ltslover | fruitbag what gives which quake2 ? | 22:04 |
| capcook | try ./usr/.....executable name | 22:04 |
| ltslover | "which quake2" | 22:04 |
| DeviceZer0 | when I fullscreen vlc the video becomes black or the last frame displayed gets stuck. any ideas? | 22:04 |
| fruitbag | 'bash: ./quake2: No such file or directory.' | 22:04 |
| Viman | oh yeah, cd into the directory in which quake2 is located | 22:04 |
| Viman | then enter chmod | 22:05 |
| fruitbag | I already have, Viman. | 22:05 |
| Viman | uhh.. | 22:05 |
| capcook | thats because quake2 os not in your path | 22:05 |
| mocommon | did I break this? | 22:05 |
| fruitbag | 'root@xxx:/usr/local/games/quake2#; | 22:05 |
| fruitbag | chmod worked | 22:05 |
| Viman | ls -A | 22:05 |
| auronandace | fruitbag: why are you trying to run as root? | 22:05 |
| ltslover | fruit youre running quake 2 as root? | 22:05 |
| Sherlock_ | anyone use a command line twitter client other than Twidge? ... | 22:05 |
| Viman | bad idea to make it executable as root. | 22:06 |
| fruitbag | How do I get out of root? | 22:06 |
| Viman | Ctrl+D | 22:06 |
| cfhowlett | Sherlock_: gwibber... | 22:06 |
| bastidrazor | fruitbag: how did you get in to root? | 22:06 |
| cfhowlett | Sherlock_: nevermind - not command line is it. | 22:06 |
| zykotick9 | cfhowlett: gwibber is hardly command line | 22:06 |
| Zillow | Loshki: you are right, it's just nice to have when I don't know where things are | 22:06 |
| Sherlock_ | no thanks | 22:06 |
| fruitbag | 'xxx@xxx:/usr/local/games/quake2$ ./quake2' | 22:07 |
| Zillow | Loshki, for instance where cupsd was located, which now that I saw it, I won't ever have to touch it again | 22:07 |
| fruitbag | 'bash: ./quake2: No such file or directory' | 22:07 |
| capcook | i think that's just because fruitbag doesnt have the path to quake 2 executable in his path variable | 22:07 |
| Zillow | was thinking is was open to the world | 22:07 |
| Viman | fruitbag: try ls -A | 22:07 |
| Sherlock_ | dw i guess there isn't anything else out there | 22:08 |
| Zillow | this I guess would ahve sped it up quite a lot maybe `find /usr -iname cupsd.conf` | 22:08 |
| Zillow | argh~! I meant nano `find /usr -iname cupsd.conf` | 22:09 |
| Andrew131 | pragmaticenigma: no I don't use a hub direct connection. Also not using it for booting I think I am going to try a pci usb controller just to rule to it out. I've already done bios, kernel, all usb slots and tried drive in another ubuntu machine | 22:09 |
| Andrew131 | So I guess Im just trying to ignore the inevitable | 22:09 |
| prax | ? | 22:09 |
| === prax is now known as spotteddox2 | ||
| fruitbag | How can quake2 not exist when it clearly does? | 22:10 |

| * fruitbag is confused | 22:10 | |
| zykotick9 | fruitbag: are you using amd64 right? | 22:10 |
| fruitbag | No, zykotick9. | 22:10 |

| zykotick9 | fruitbag: ok. | 22:10 |
| zykotick9 | !checkinstall | Viman | 22:11 |
| ubottu | Viman: 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! | 22:11 |

| zykotick9 | Viman: dependencies NOT included | 22:11 |
| Viman | I know | 22:11 |
| Viman | so how do I include them | 22:11 |
| Viman | like in a general deb file? | 22:11 |
| capcook | cd into quake2 directory and then type ls -a. then let us see the result | 22:12 |

| metsys23 | hi there! i am an ubuntu user and i want to change to an faster distro, and read that xubuntu or lubunt are faster than ubuntu. what you advise me? (please dont advise me linux mint, i have tried it and is to heavy) | 22:12 |
| Zillow | Loshki, I just figured that out, it didn't actually work the way I wrote it. still trying to figure it out more like <cat `find / -iname httpd.conf'> <-- that for instance does work but say <cat `find /etc -iname httpd.conf'> does not. | 22:13 |
| Oer | readme.txt are awesome | 22:13 |
| Viman | metsys: Lubuntu is the fastest of them all. | 22:14 |
| DeviceZer0 | I cannot get fullscreen video to play using vlc or totem. Video works fine when not fullscreen...i have both audio and video..but then I goto fullscreen all I get is either a blackscreen and audio or the last displayed frame and audio | 22:14 |
| Oer | metsys23, if you have 512 mb +, i would advise Xubuntu. | 22:14 |
| metsys23 | i have 4gb ram | 22:14 |
| metsys23 | 32bits can recognize 3gb so i have 3gb | 22:15 |
| Oer | metsys23, if your CPU can handle 64 bit, you would have all memory available | 22:15 |
| mavrick95 | how do i format my hd while in ubuntu? i want to format the hd before installing the ubuntu again, and then load the DejaDup app to restore to my previous backup, is that right? is there a "smarter" way? | 22:15 |
| metsys23 | i need a distro to use all day, with eclipse, games, office and other stufs | 22:15 |
| Viman | I think there's 64bit versions for xubuntu/lubuntu, no? | 22:15 |
| metsys23 | yup, but that is not a problem, i think | 22:16 |
| metsys23 | 1gb ram is not a big deal right? | 22:16 |
| Viman | well, if you're never past 2GB it won't | 22:16 |
| metsys23 | there is a big diference in performance between ubuntu and xubuntu and lubuntu? | 22:17 |
| Loshki | Zillow: what happens when you run the non-working case -- "find / -iname httpd.conf" from a terminal? | 22:17 |
| metsys23 | and what about drivers, ubuntu deal nice with my mobile boardcas internet, wifi, graphic and stuff | 22:17 |
| Viman | Xubuntu/Lubuntu are pretty similar in consumption, Lubuntu being slightly lower | 22:17 |
| Zillow | Loshki, thanks for telling me about all conf being in etc | 22:18 |
| Viman | they all have the Ubuntu Base, so if it works in Ubuntu, it works on them | 22:18 |
| zykotick9 | Viman: XFCE is much heavier then LXDE actually, XFCE is similar to gnome2 in resource usage | 22:18 |
| metsys23 | Viman: huumm, now i am motivated to install xubuntu or lubuntu... | 22:18 |
| pnorman | argh. wish I could at least get some idea of why my ubuntu box is hanging | 22:18 |
| Zillow | Loshki, I don't understand non-working case | 22:19 |

| pnorman | cipher__: did you run sensors-detect? | 22:21 |
| cfhowlett | metsys23: my understanding is that xfce is the more mature and developed DE, so I'd suggest xubuntu. | 22:22 |
| cipher__ | pnorman, I did, and it isn't installed. So i assumed ubuntu had its own way :/ | 22:22 |

| BlouBlou | mavrick95: you can just format hd if unmounted. If you have it on a different hd, try gparted | 22:25 |

| mkultra_ | or something like that share as in what u want to share | 23:15 |
| Bsims | Canadian1296: yeah you can | 23:16 |
| mkultra_ | then browse to it in a browser on the other machine | 23:16 |
| mkultra_ | via ip address | 23:16 |
| Canadian1296 | Bsims: Okay thanks :) | 23:16 |
| Dgameman1 | Thank you! | 23:16 |
| Dgameman1 | I don't have internet on that computer tho | 23:16 |
| Dgameman1 | so how can I get those files and such? | 23:16 |
| aBound | Canadian1296, The Alternative CD is more for Advanced installations if that's what you intend to do. | 23:16 |
| galerien | mkultra_, that's a http server... ? | 23:16 |
| neiz | cfhowlett: right, thanks didnt think about gnome - couldn't find a way in unity besides running "virtualbox" to start it | 23:16 |
| h00k | calcmandan: sure you can, you can just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 23:16 |
| mkultra_ | yeah you can http your directory | 23:16 |
| Canadian1296 | aBound: okay, yeah thats what I need then | 23:17 |
| aBound | Canadian1296, I gotcha. :P | 23:17 |
| mkultra_ | it will show up as a file list | 23:17 |
| h00k | Canadian1296: ^ sure you can, you can just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 23:17 |
| h00k | calcmandan: sorry, tab-fail | 23:17 |
| mkultra_ | i should write a tutorial on that | 23:17 |
| Dgameman1 | alrighjt | 23:17 |
| Dgameman1 | I'm killing myself | 23:17 |
| Dgameman1 | thanks guys | 23:17 |
| aBound | Don't kill yourself now. :P | 23:18 |
| Dgameman1 | :( | 23:18 |
| Dgameman1 | I honestly give up | 23:18 |
| Dgameman1 | I've been trying to do this for too long now | 23:18 |

| FloodBot1 | Dgameman1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:18 |
| Dgameman1 | and no one knows how to fix it | 23:18 |
| Dgameman1 | I'm sorry | 23:19 |
| mkultra_ | whats ur problem? | 23:19 |
| Ben64 | stop using enter as punctuation, and look at the link sitic|afk gave you | 23:19 |
| Dgameman1 | I looked at the link he gave me | 23:19 |
| Dgameman1 | My problem is this | 23:19 |
| Dgameman1 | I followed the wifi help docs all the way through, everything was working. no errors appeared. It's just that when I type iwconfig, nothing shows up for wlan0. it doesn't even appear | 23:20 |
| Detergentizer | cfhowlett: ok, thanks | 23:20 |
| aBound | Dgameman1, If your card worked out of the box for some other distro. Perhaps, it uses a newer kernel with built-in support for your card. | 23:20 |
| Detergentizer | cfhowlett: but it is still there | 23:20 |
| psichas | my virtualBox do alot of pauses then i try run virtual machine, what's wrong with it ? How to fix it? | 23:20 |
| Ben64 | Dgameman1: seriously, there is a comma key, use it instead of enter... there are 1455 people in here. And look at the link sitic|afk gave you! | 23:20 |
| cfhowlett | Detergentizer: sorry then IDK. I'm in Ubuntu Studio 10.04 and will be going to XFCE with 12.04 - my unity exposure is minimal. Ask the channel again. | 23:20 |
| Dgameman1 | @aBound, So is there anything I can do to fix that? | 23:21 |
| Detergentizer | ''k | 23:21 |
| aBound | Dgameman1, I'd check the kernel that whatever distro you were using and than check the current version of Ubuntu's kernel. | 23:21 |
| Ben64 | Dgameman1: the link you were given fixes it, just follow the steps | 23:21 |
| Detergentizer | i gots lanaguage-pack-en-base with exclaimation marks on it inside of the pakage manager | 23:21 |
| aBound | Dgameman1, Some newer kernels might remove support for older hardware. | 23:21 |
| aBound | Drivers are usually built into the kernel. | 23:22 |
| aBound | Dgameman1, It's like using newer hardware on an older kernel more or less it won't be supported. | 23:22 |
| Vuth | hi cfhowlett | 23:23 |
| Vuth | do you want to chat? | 23:23 |
| h00k | Vuth: this is the support channel, but you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want | 23:24 |

| shed-34046 | how do i install the mozilla build package of firefox on ubuntu 10.10? | 23:32 |
| aBound | Give or take if the driver isn't built right into the kernel than you'd have to download the driver and install it. | 23:32 |
| aBound | shed-34046, The only way I see you getting Firefox 10 is from a PPA. | 23:33 |
| aBound | shed-34046, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/firefox-4-ppa-for-ubuntu-10-04-and-10-10-users/ | 23:33 |
| Emerald_Fianna | Hello all | 23:33 |
| Oer | shed-34046, why ? FF 10 is in the repository | 23:33 |
| Emerald_Fianna | Can anyone tell me if 2gigs of ram is enough for 11.10? | 23:34 |
| shed-34046 | I want to install the mozilla build so i can have the firefox that auto updates.. so i don't have to use the update manager to check for updates | 23:34 |
| Ben64 | Emerald_Fianna: yes it is | 23:34 |
| holstein | Emerald_Fianna: run it live and see.. should be fine depending on what you are doing.. i would probably chose the 32bit version | 23:34 |
| newbie-bob | I need help on mailserver. Anyone? | 23:34 |
| aBound | Emerald_Fianna, I have 16GB of RAM and so far only used about 1GB. | 23:34 |
| jstoone | Emerald_Fianna: Is is (: you can look up the system requirements at the website. | 23:34 |
| thelegace | hi could someone help me get my gpt/raid partition installed | 23:35 |
| aBound | shed-34046, As far as I know you still have to use the update manager to update Firefox. | 23:35 |
| mkultra_ | yeah 2 gigs is enough | 23:35 |
| mkultra_ | i run 10.10 on 2 gigs | 23:35 |
| jstoone | newbie-bob: Please state your current problem/situation so you can get a faster reply (: | 23:35 |
| thelegace | normally in fedora i can go to the /dev/mapper directory and find what i want to mount | 23:35 |
| thelegace | but im trying various things but this is the what i get | 23:35 |
| mkultra_ | i run 10.10 + squid + apache + browsers | 23:36 |
| mkultra_ | + ftp | 23:36 |
| Emerald_Fianna | Ben64: I managed to get my old laptop working today, it's amd dual core 1.7ghz, 2 gigs ram and 160gb hard drive, I installed 11.10 clean on it without anything else and i'm getting a boot time of about 50 seconds, is that ok? | 23:36 |
| Raikia | thelegace: Are you looking for something like /dev/disk/by-label/ | 23:36 |
| Raikia | ? | 23:36 |
| thelegace | http://paste.ubuntu.com/839806/ | 23:36 |
| thelegace | Raikia, i tried that as well | 23:36 |
| thelegace | same error | 23:36 |
| thelegace | also i have no by label option | 23:36 |
| Raikia | try by-id | 23:36 |
| Ben64 | Emerald_Fianna: old laptops tend to have old, slow hard drives. that would make a longer boot time. | 23:36 |
| thelegace | only id, path and uuid | 23:36 |
| jstoone | Emerald_Fianna: That's fine (: | 23:36 |
| thelegace | Raikia, i tried all of the relevant ones | 23:37 |
| === Jasonn_ is now known as Jasonn | ||
| jstoone | Ben64: true. | 23:37 |
| shed-34046 | wait would it hurt to put firefox folder from the file i downloaded and extracted in the etc location on the file system on my computer where all the other stuff is? | 23:37 |
| bobenhaus | anyone know a way to sync/show photos from picasa to the ubuntu photo viewer? | 23:37 |
| Emerald_Fianna | delighted so I am, before it broke it was running windows 7 like a old lame dog, this seem much better. Can anyone recommend good websites for learning about ubuntu? | 23:37 |
| thelegace | Raikia, this is what i have to work with | 23:37 |
| thelegace | http://paste.ubuntu.com/839809/ | 23:37 |
| Ben64 | shed-34046: what are you trying to do | 23:37 |
| Oer | shed-34046, sure, you can build your own version | 23:37 |
| Oer | !compile | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 23:38 |
| bobenhaus | thelegace: thanks | 23:38 |
| shed-34046 | Install firefox 10.0.1 from the tar.bz2 file i downloaded | 23:38 |
| recon_lap | Emerald_Fianna: normally it just works, when you hit a problem use google :) | 23:38 |
| bobenhaus | !picasa | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Picasa from Google can be downloaded in .deb format from: http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html | 23:38 |
| jstoone | Guys, I'm about to do a backup atm. could you tell me a couple of things that you backup? Just to be sure I'm not missing anything in my script ;) | 23:38 |
| Ben64 | shed-34046: why not use a ppa? | 23:38 |
| Emerald_Fianna | Cool, it seems very easy to use, I've often used the live usb for internet banking etc but this is my first time installing it from scratch | 23:39 |

| jstoone | Emerald_Fianna: Welcome! :D | 23:39 |
| newbie-bob | I have set up my mailserver and everything works great. It is because I have in /etc/postfix/main.cf put [relayhost = smtp.someisp.no]. Is there another way of doing this so that I dont need a relayhost? | 23:39 |
| Ben64 | shed-34046: ppa works better with ubuntu, and gives you updates without having to compile again | 23:40 |
| Vuth | which linux looks most like MAC OS? | 23:40 |
| shed-34046 | ok | 23:40 |
| recon_lap | Emerald_Fianna: have a look at the synptic packet manager for installing software, it's quite different from windows | 23:40 |
| Emerald_Fianna | Thanks jstoone, this is how useless I am, I don't even know how to send this message so it appears in red like your one to me did! | 23:40 |
| Emerald_Fianna | Thanks recon_lap will do | 23:41 |
| gotwake | Everytime I try to install anything through the update manager or software center, it says ¨Failed to download packages¨. can anyone help me with this? | 23:41 |
| Oer | Vuth, look for an OsX theme :-) | 23:41 |
| jstoone | Emerald_Fianna: You just did ;) whenever your name is mentioned in an IRC message it get's highlighted on your screen. | 23:41 |
| mkultra_ | my os is very osx style | 23:41 |
| Vuth | Oer for linux ubuntu? | 23:41 |

| shed-34046 | *manager | 23:42 |
| Emerald_Fianna | jstoone: so it's that easy! | 23:42 |
| Emerald_Fianna | Cool | 23:42 |
| jstoone | mkultra_: Vuth: You could take screen for him and paste it? And maybe tell him what you've done or which one you've used? ( | 23:42 |
| recon_lap | Emerald_Fianna: and don't fear the command line, it's your friend :) | 23:42 |
| Andrew131 | pragmaticenigma: you here? | 23:42 |
| Oer | Vuth, there might be a 9.4 theme too | 23:43 |
| Emerald_Fianna | recon_lap: cool, any good recommendations on where to get started with it? | 23:43 |
| Martindude | Hi | 23:43 |
| jstoone | Emerald_Fianna: Give me a second and I'll get you a link to where i started. | 23:43 |
| Martindude | Hello | 23:43 |
| gotwake | Could anybody help me with my issue? | 23:43 |
| Emerald_Fianna | jstoone: thanks | 23:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | Yes Andrew131 | 23:43 |
| Andrew131 | I just got back with a new USB 3.0 PCI-E card | 23:44 |
| Martindude | hello | 23:44 |
| Andrew131 | same deal | 23:44 |
| Martindude | Can any body respond? | 23:44 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: Guess another thing to maybe try... Do you have a second computer? | 23:44 |
| Oer | !ask | Martindude | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Martindude: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:44 |
| Andrew131 | Yep | 23:45 |
| Andrew131 | And the drive works fine on it | 23:45 |
| Andrew131 | Which is why I was sure it was going to be this card | 23:45 |
| Andrew131 | lol | 23:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: Same version of Ubuntu? | 23:45 |
| Been | hey, just put in a live disc to try ubuntu out and everything froze | 23:45 |
| jstoone | Emerald_Fianna: If you're interested in the Nitty Gritty, you could read this PDF - http://www.itworld.com/sites/default/files/UbuntuUnleashed2012_Helmke_ch10.pdf | 23:45 |
| Andrew131 | Well no because I upgraded to the 3.2 kernel to see if that solved the issue | 23:45 |
| recon_lap | Emerald_Fianna: everyone have there own path, I just learned what i needed as i needed it, if you get stuck you can always ask in here. but you may have a different style | 23:45 |
| Been | the system still ran, as a window I had opened popped up, but the mouse and keyboard stopped giving any input | 23:46 |
| Been | I've been having this problem for a few different releases of Ubuntu | 23:46 |
| Martindude | Hi, I have Ubuntu 11.10 desktop 32-bit install allong side windows 7. Im having problems accesing Ubuntu documents and folders from windows | 23:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: Guess the newer kernel could be to blame.... not sure on that one | 23:46 |
| Martindude | any ideas? | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | Martindude: windows doesnt support linux | 23:47 |
| Emerald_Fianna | jstoone, recon_lap: thanks guys | 23:47 |
| Andrew131 | Its not the newer kernel because I put it on to see if it did solve the issue | 23:47 |
| CXIV | I got ubuntu image on sda6 , I want to boot it from grub2 .I need to set" set root=(hd0,6)" ? | 23:47 |
| Ben64 | Martindude: linux's* filesystem by default, but you can install a driver to give you limited access | 23:47 |
| Andrew131 | No worries though I was just sort of hoping you'd have thought of something I didnt | 23:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | Martindude: Ubuntu and Windows use different file systems. Ubuntu has drivers for accessing windows folders, but Window does not have support to Ubuntu files.... you will need to make sure you save your documents to your windows folders if you want to access them later in windows | 23:47 |
| Martindude | were can i get this driver? | 23:47 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: what is the motherboard make? | 23:48 |
| jstoone | Emerald_Fianna: Maybe you want to learn how to navigate in the terminal first, here you go - http://freshtutorial.com/basic-ubuntu-command-tutorial-for-beginners/ | 23:48 |

| Andrew131 | one sec | 23:48 |
| Martindude | Thanks alot! this irc chat works! | 23:48 |
| jstoone | Emerald_Fianna: And again as recon_lab said, do not fear to ask a question, we'll try to help as much as we can (: | 23:48 |
| Emerald_Fianna | jstoone: thanks | 23:49 |
| jstoone | Emerald_Fianna: Happy nerding (: | 23:49 |
| Emerald_Fianna | thanks | 23:50 |

| Martindude | One more thimg, can some one please tell me the file path for the User's music on ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| === ripps_ is now known as ripps | ||
| Oer | Martindude, ~/Music or /home/<account>/Music | 23:53 |
| aeon-ltd | Martindude: the path would depend on where the user created it | 23:53 |
| newbie-bob | Got to go. Will return tomorrow....Bye. | 23:53 |
| newbie-bob | quit | 23:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | Andrew131: I'm stumpped... I'm really surprised that a new card wouldn't have solved the problem for you... Is it possible to boot live and test? | 23:53 |
| newbie-bob | \q | 23:53 |
| aeon-ltd | newbie-bob: other way | 23:53 |
| recon_lap | Martindude: /home/$username/Music is normal default, does not mean all music goes in there though | 23:53 |
| Martindude | Thanks recon_lap and Oer! | 23:54 |
| Andrew131 | I could I'm not sure what I'd get different its a pretty fresh install < 1wk and Ive really only added apache/mysql etc… to it | 23:54 |
| damo22 | Andrew131: what is the problem, sorry i joined late | 23:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | It really shouldn't matter Andrew131, but stranger things have happened | 23:55 |
| gotwake | OK, I´m on 11.10. Every time I try to download anything in software manager, it says ¨Failed to download packages¨. Check internet connection. I am connected. Can anybody help? | 23:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | gotwake: Do you have any firewalls enabled? | 23:56 |
| Andrew131 | Hey damo22, I've got a usb external hard drive. In the logs I get that the high speed usb device is reset and then any process that has anything to do with the hard drive is blocked | 23:57 |
| gotwake | I don´t believe so, how can I find out? | 23:57 |
| Andrew131 | ie ls, cp, even fdisk | 23:57 |
| Andrew131 | The rest of the OS continues to chug along | 23:57 |
| Andrew131 | I figured since the drive works on another machine and I updated the bios, tried a new kernel, it must be the usb controller | 23:59 |
| Andrew131 | So I just ran out and grabbed a new 3.0 usb pcie card and tried that | 23:59 |
| damo22 | Andrew131: i have noticed other people having issues with usb3 | 23:59 |
| Andrew131 | Same deal except instead of the error being high speed its super speed b/c of 3.0 | 23:59 |
