| cfhowlett | zykotick9 darn. I better go move the veggies and make room | 00:19 |
| kostasz | i have xubuntu 11.10 with compiz and after changing appearance styles not all of the windows undergo the change. Any idea? | 00:20 |
| wagnor_ | and cooking while doesn't sound serious is just resoldering, it works quite often if you don't overcook it | 00:20 |
| kostasz | For example: Ubuntu Software Center, gcalctool, synaptic.. | 00:20 |
| djathoris | wagnor_ - if the problem came back, maybe it was something else like the bus frequency or a conflict with another device? | 00:21 |

| _Marcus | induz: Does Thunderbird need that folder to run? | 00:31 |
| djathoris | maestro - the question is, is your ubuntu parition so corrupted that the files will never be recoverable? Not being able to boot it is a bad sign. | 00:32 |
| _Marcus | induz: Since it's getting big, I'm guessing it's the folder that holds the emails. Why would you delete it if it needs it? | 00:32 |

| induz | _Marcus, true...I dont have much space on my Hdrive...but if I delet the folder is it going to be deleted from Gmail server too | 00:36 |
| maestro | djathoris: How do i reinstall it? | 00:36 |
| djathoris | maestro - there should be an option on the live cd for that | 00:36 |
| cfhowlett | maestro agree that reinstall grub should work - tho I still don't understand how it scrambled. | 00:36 |

| cfhowlett | waheed log in to your computer under a different user and see if the drive works. | 00:48 |
| z3r0n0id | zykotick9: thank you | 00:48 |
| maestro | cfhowlett: what does purge do? | 00:48 |
| stevecam | is it possible to tell banshee to scan the media library for missing files? | 00:49 |
| cfhowlett | maestro as I understand it, removes everything except the /home config and date files | 00:49 |
| almoxarife | maestro: purge will remove the app and the confs | 00:49 |
| zykotick9 | maestro: purge removes config files (but not from home directories) | 00:49 |
| cfhowlett | almoxarife so it DOES remove user/home/config? | 00:49 |
| cfhowlett | almoxarife so it DOES remove user/home/configs | 00:50 |
| almoxarife | cfhowlett: no, | 00:50 |
| cfhowlett | almoxarife OK | 00:50 |
| coder_ | how to know what version of xubuntu i am using from the cmd? | 00:50 |
| bastidrazor | coder_: lsb_release -a | 00:50 |
| cfhowlett | maestro suggested that to as a complete starting over for installing gimp. should be considered radical surgery | 00:50 |
| maestro | cfhowlett, almoxarife, zykotick9: Then what am i supposed to do next? And will the softwares i installed on my ubuntu be saved? | 00:51 |
| victicom | coder, cat /proc/version | 00:51 |
| almoxarife | cfhowlett: did you look at the link i put up? | 00:51 |
| altin | zykotick9: so you cant help in this case :/ ? | 00:51 |
| paczasterr_ | dfs | 00:51 |
| cfhowlett | maestro that command would remove ALL default gimp packages. Your data should be safe but feel free to back up. | 00:51 |
| zykotick9 | victicom: FYI that's the kernel version info, not the "ubuntu" info | 00:51 |
| victicom | Yes... I just realized it. | 00:52 |
| victicom | *shake my head* | 00:52 |
| coder_ | how do i install new themes in xubuntu 11.10? | 00:52 |
| cfhowlett | almoxarife I did - that's why I suggested purge/reinstall. NOT my first choice for a fix... | 00:52 |
| victicom | *facepalm* lol | 00:52 |
| * _Marcus | 00:52 | |
| maestro | cfhowlett: Ok after i purge gimp, what m i supposed to do next? | 00:52 |
| UndergrounD | coder gnome tools is an easy | 00:53 |
| almoxarife | cfhowlett: a re-install will have the process repeat itself, reverting to the last good gimp is the better choice(my opinion) | 00:53 |
| uni4dfx | what kind of a sadist created autotools... no wonder nobody wants to develop linux software | 00:53 |
| truexfan81 | i just got xfce to run on xfce lol now i can use my gnome 2 themes on it :-) | 00:53 |
| cfhowlett | maestro almoxarife good suggestion there to fall back with gimp | 00:54 |
| truexfan81 | was supposed to say i got metacity to run on xfce* | 00:54 |
| _Marcus | uni4dfx: I want to develop Linux software :( | 00:54 |
| Canadian1296 | zykotick9: Most likely… And altin, we need a pastebin to help you. | 00:54 |
| Lint | uni4dfx, there are some alternatives though | 00:54 |
| altin | Canadian1296: I just posted what you asked in pastebin... | 00:54 |
| djathoris | _Marcus - what are you looking to develop ? | 00:54 |
| zykotick9 | Canadian1296: we got a pastebin, and it is a PPA version of Gimp (thus their issue with versioning) | 00:55 |
| Canadian1296 | maestro: It's solving a problem with ubuntu cli in virtualbox. | 00:55 |
| _Marcus | djathoris: Something. I don't know. | 00:55 |
| === uw_ is now known as uw | ||
| maestro | cfhowlett almoxarife: so do i run this command? "sudo apt-get reinstall gimp" | 00:55 |
| coder_ | I am trying to install a theme in xubuntu 11.10 but I am new to xubuntu, can anybody tell me how? | 00:55 |
| almoxarife | maestro: no | 00:55 |
| djathoris | _Marcus - what programing languages are you good with? | 00:55 |
| Canadian1296 | zykotick9 altin Yeah, I didnt see that (I was away from the computer). | 00:55 |
| almoxarife | maestro: you using 11.10? | 00:55 |
| _Marcus | djathoris: C++, Java | 00:55 |
| victicom | lsb_release -a didn't give me much useful info... however, lsb_release -r did... so... coder, I'd read the man pages of lsb_release | 00:55 |
| maestro | Canadian1296: mind telling me what cli is? | 00:56 |
| victicom | As for themes... | 00:56 |
| maestro | almoxarife, yes | 00:56 |
| djathoris | _Marcus 0 think you'd be up for some gtk programming? | 00:56 |
| uni4dfx | why is automake saying Makefile.in not found when it is clearly there.... ffs makes you wanna punch the author | 00:56 |
| _Marcus | maestro: CLI is command line. tty. text. | 00:56 |
| Canadian1296 | maestro: Command line interface. No gui (graphic user interface), so no desktop or anything. Just a command line. | 00:56 |
| _Marcus | djathoris: I don't have a GUI. | 00:56 |
| almoxarife | maestro: did you look at the link? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1923311 ?? | 00:56 |
| victicom | CLI means Command Line Interface? | 00:56 |
| _Marcus | victicom: Yes | 00:56 |
| victicom | I know. | 00:56 |
| djathoris | _Marcus - no X? :( | 00:57 |
| victicom | I was stating that as in... "I thought you knew?" | 00:57 |
| maestro | Canadian1296: Oh...! now that was very ignorant of me. I read that... Well thanks for telling though | 00:57 |
| UndergrounD | use gnome tools to install themes | 00:57 |
| Canadian1296 | maestro: No problem, that's what we're here for :) | 00:57 |

| cfhowlett | maestro back up your gimp data. | 01:01 |
| almoxarife | maestro: your /home/................... data is safe | 01:01 |
| djathoris | _Marcus - so think of an idea and then start writing your app? | 01:01 |
| Canadian1296 | _Marcus: What host machine are you using? | 01:02 |
| overclucker | _Marcus: ncurses is for pretty cli programming | 01:02 |
| almoxarife | maestro: you could upgrade to the new ubuntu, and have the new gimp, not sure if that is an option | 01:02 |
| _Marcus | djathoris: What do you mean by "app" | 01:02 |
| _Marcus | Canadian1296: What do you mean "host machine"? | 01:02 |
| djathoris | _Marcus - you said you wanted to program something for linux? | 01:03 |
| Canadian1296 | _Marcus: I mean you're running Ubuntu in VirtualBox. What OS is installed on the physical computer you're at? | 01:03 |
| _Marcus | djathoris: Oh. | 01:03 |
| _Marcus | Canadian1296: Windows XP. | 01:03 |
| Canadian1296 | _Marcus: Okay, I was just wondering. It explains not being familiar with "app" (more of a Mac idea) | 01:04 |
| coder_ | how do you install themes on xubuntu 11.10? | 01:04 |
| maestro | almoxarife: My computer has broadcom wifi and bluetooth card installed on motherboard. On my installed ubuntu i was not able to access my bluetooth. And even to access my wifi i had to do this :http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://tuxcanfly.appspot.com/2011/10/Ubuntu-11-10-Broadcom-Wifi-driver-43xx&usg=AFQjCNFCvkQ7lcwy5qJ-dG3aWxhajd_Stw | 01:04 |
| djathoris | _Marcus - one other thing you could try. if you write your app in tcl/tk you can write it in windows and have it runnable in linux X | 01:04 |
| maestro | almoxarife: Can u help me out with my bluetooth problem here? | 01:04 |
| _Marcus | Canadian1296: I had 2 Macs(iMac and Macbook) for awhile, though I always called them programs. I called smartphone applications "apps" though. | 01:04 |
| _Marcus | djathoris: Cross platform compiling? I've heard of it but never got how it worked. | 01:05 |
| altin | Canadian1296: _Marcus fixed the problem | 01:05 |

| cfhowlett | maestro ask the channel about blue tooth support - and skip posting the wifi article since you've already got that working | 01:11 |
| WhiteEye | but I only know how to hack them. lol | 01:11 |

| Canadian1296 | WhiteEye: respect | 01:12 |

| cfhowlett | maestro no prob. Good luck with the fix. | 01:13 |

| maestro | WhiteEye: Do i need some module other than Broadcom STA Driver in order to have the bluetooth working? | 01:14 |

| pconwell | quick question, I need to set up a symlink to a directory that I do not own (but have access to) | 01:18 |
| goathouse774 | I've got xubuntu burned as an image to a cdr. what's the best way to test it: restart the comp with cd in drive; or run it in windows? | 01:20 |
| tensorpudding | you can't run it in windows | 01:20 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 checksum! | 01:20 |
| cfhowlett | !md5sum|goathouse774 | 01:20 |
| ubottu | goathouse774: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 01:20 |
| tensorpudding | checksumming is a good idea | 01:20 |
| tensorpudding | compare with the md5 or sha-1 | 01:20 |
| goathouse774 | Checksum? | 01:20 |
| tensorpudding | a checksum is a function which takes a file and collapses it down to a brief string of characters, called a hash | 01:21 |
| WhiteEye | im running backtrack, but its based on ubuntu so nuthing wrong in hanging out here in my favourtie room | 01:21 |
| jswagner | i thought there was a feature on the boot menu that allowed you to test the content of the disc | 01:21 |
| tensorpudding | you can compare the hash you get from the file with a hash on record to verify that the file is complete and unmodified | 01:22 |
| WhiteEye | jswagner: I know there is, I got it on my ubuntu server | 01:22 |
| Canadian1296 | jswagner: There should be, but I'd still recommend a hash check | 01:22 |
| tensorpudding | because small changes in the original file will make large changes in the hash | 01:22 |
| tensorpudding | besides verifying disk images it's also good for making sure that the image you have is not tampered with by an untrusted third party | 01:23 |
| bobweaver | WhiteEye, this room is for ubuntu question you are more then welcome to hang out look at some question. but if you would like to talk about cracking and div's of ubuntu best in the #off-topic channel | 01:23 |
| tensorpudding | cracking is not ontopic on #ubuntu-offtopic either, it goes against freenode policy | 01:24 |
| WhiteEye | bobweaver: yeah I know :) sure thing!:D | 01:24 |

| jn_ | How can i disable pixel shader in wine ? | 01:24 |
| jswagner | jn_: this is answered on the official Wine wiki | 01:25 |
| bobweaver | jn you are talking about http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectX-Shaders ? | 01:25 |
| WhiteEye | have anyone tested the new ubuntu server?, really hard to install. Ive tried like 4 times but i feel like an super noob since I cant get it up | 01:25 |
| jswagner | WhiteEye: what specifically are you having issues with? | 01:26 |
| cfhowlett | WhiteEye fee free to check in a #ubuntu-server | 01:26 |
| bobweaver | WhiteEye, 12.04 ? | 01:26 |
| jswagner | i can't imagine it's vastly different than any previous ubuntu server release | 01:26 |
| jn_ | <jswagner> could you give me a link? I can't find it, also im using the latest version of wine, did the option not use to be under a tab in winecfg? becouse its not there anymore | 01:27 |
| jswagner | someone just linked it | 01:27 |
| jn_ | ok | 01:28 |
| jswagner | it was the first result on google for 'wine disable pixel shader' | 01:28 |
| WhiteEye | jswagner: well. it freezes on first boot. like all the processes just wont load | 01:29 |
| jswagner | during install or post-install? could be a kernel/module issue? might be a good idea to file a bug. | 01:29 |
| pconwell | I'm trying to write to a symlink directory that I do not own. In other words user1 is trying to write to a directory owned by user2 that is symlinked in user1's home directory. What is the best way to make this happen? | 01:31 |

| somnambulant | Hello I'd like to change the default/global screensaver settings for all users (using kubuntu as a terminal server)... and also so the users can't change the setting | 02:07 |
| somnambulant | any ideas? | 02:07 |

| cfhowlett | rksii greetings. What's the problem? | 02:10 |
| rksii | I am trying to get suspend/hibernate to work on my Toshiba L775 | 02:11 |
| jodi | topic... | 02:12 |
| rksii | I've tried all the quirks options and several of the scripts I found searching the community forums and other places but no luck | 02:12 |
| rksii | thought maybe someone here would have some advice | 02:13 |
| === Chat4589 is now known as geeee | ||
| _Marcus | rksii: What exactly is happening? | 02:13 |
| rksii | in both cases (suspend and hibernate) it goes to a black screen with what looks like a non-blinking text cursor in the top-left corner. It doesn't power off the screen, wireless lan, fans, or anything else that I can tell. And, it will not resume from this state. It is frozen and I have to hold the power button until it powers off and then reboot | 02:15 |
| rksii | If I do a hibernate, it will sometimes restore from the saved state when it reboots. | 02:16 |
| _Marcus | rksii: I can't tell if that is a problem with Ubuntu or with the Tobisha hardware. | 02:16 |
| Jimu | anyone know how to alter the unity launcher style? bonus points if you know a resource for how to create GTK3 themes - should be easy using CSS | 02:16 |

| Canadian1296 | mun: Hi | 02:16 |
| rksii | I'm not sure either _Marcus | 02:16 |
| mun | i'm using Gnome 3 in 11.10, but how do i set the default to compiz? | 02:16 |
| _Marcus | rksii: I found this online: http://nixliving.blogspot.com/2010/03/workaround-for-broken-ubuntu-suspend.html | 02:17 |
| rksii | I have looked in the pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log but there doesn't appear to be any error messages or anything that gives me a clue | 02:17 |
| _Marcus | rksii: How long are you waiting until you force shutdown your machine? | 02:18 |
| Wabs | I was wondering if someone could recommend a VNC client so I can remote my systems at work? | 02:18 |
| cfhowlett | wabs vinagre | 02:19 |
| Wabs | Thank you cfhowlett | 02:19 |
| rksii | I have waited for over an hour before forcing it to power off | 02:19 |
| rksii | I will try the advice on that page to see if it works for me | 02:20 |
| _Marcus | rksii: Intresting. As I don't have a Tobisha laptop, I cannot reproduce the problem. You should read that page though. | 02:20 |
| rksii | unfortunately it looks like I will have to track down the powersaved -- apt-get is not finding it | 02:21 |
| _Marcus | !find powersaved | 02:22 |
| ubottu | Package/file powersaved does not exist in oneiric | 02:22 |
| _Marcus | !find powersave | 02:22 |

| _Marcus | rksii: There you go | 02:22 |
| helo | i just installed a new motherboard with onboard (apu) ati video, and my monitor just goes to sleep when i boot | 02:23 |
| _Marcus | rksii: I'm guessing you want one of the laptop-mode-tools one | 02:23 |
| helo | i tried disabling lightdm so X wouldn't start, and added "nomodeset" to the grub options, but it still goes to sleep every time | 02:23 |
| dejahthoris | helo - your monitor literally goes into powersave/sleep mode? | 02:24 |
| helo | yeah | 02:24 |
| helo | i see the initial boot console messages, and then it just goes to sleep | 02:24 |
| rksii | ok, its been a while since I ran linux and when I did I ran slackware -- where do you run that !find command to get that info? | 02:24 |
| helo | i'm using the vga port (don't have the right kind of dvi adapter) | 02:25 |
| dejahthoris | helo - have you tried this m/b with other monitors? | 02:25 |
| _Marcus | rksii: That was a command for ubottu, the bot here. It just gave you info about it | 02:25 |
| helo | it seems to be a mode setting problem, or something that is triggering that port to stop sending a signal | 02:25 |
| helo | i installed fglrx, but no change | 02:25 |
| _Marcus | !info powersave | rksii, see the link: | 02:25 |
| ubottu | rksii, see the link:: Package powersave does not exist in oneiric | 02:25 |

| === Gskellig is now known as gskellig|mobile | ||
| dejahthoris | helo - which video driver are you using generic vesa or ati? | 02:27 |
| helo | i tried vesa and fglrx in xorg.conf | 02:27 |
| rksii | ok, yes -- I see the link now where it says it doesn't exist in oneiric | 02:27 |
| dejahthoris | helo - what resolution/refresh rate are you trying to run it at? | 02:27 |
| somnambulant | dejahthoris: after a little digging its actually in /usr/share/kde4/config/.... | 02:27 |
| rksii | yes, I have an intel processor -- an i3 | 02:28 |

| _Marcus | rksii: Try "apt-get install laptop-mode-tools" | 02:29 |
| rksii | I just did that -- it installed fine but no powersave or powersaved on my machine | 02:30 |
| rksii | no, sorry, there is a /sys/module/i915/parameters/powersave | 02:30 |
| dejahthoris | rksii - did you reboot after installing? | 02:30 |
| _Marcus | dejahthoris: I don't think you need to reboot after install software. | 02:30 |
| dejahthoris | _Marcus - when it's a system daemon you're installing ... | 02:31 |
| rksii | that powersave file is just a text file with a single character: 1 | 02:31 |
| SawtoothID | Www.ubuntu.com | 02:32 |
| _Marcus | rksii: I don't know what the solution to your problem is. If laptop-mode-tools isn't working, then do "sudo apt-get remove laptop-mode-tools" | 02:32 |
| rksii | I don't know if its working or not...should I try to do the pm-suspend again? | 02:33 |
| _Marcus | rksii: yes | 02:33 |
| rksii | that webpage said to do a powersave -u but there was no powersave program installed | 02:33 |
| meskarune | pm-suspend isn't laptop mode tools | 02:34 |

| dejahthoris | someone named azathot got it working at http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/Powersave-25227.shtml | 02:34 |
| meskarune | but you can set laptop mode tools to use that if pm-utils is intalled | 02:34 |
| rksii | pm-suspend did the same things as before -- black screen but not powering off | 02:34 |

| dejahthoris | to quote Azathot on October 20, 2011 5:57 am "It worked well on my Toshiba l775-13V with Ubuntu 11.10 :)" | 02:37 |
| rksii | I will try downloading that powersave, dejahthoris. It looks like it comes as source so I will have to build it | 02:38 |
| meskarune | rksil: when you type "sudo pm-suspend" in the terminal your screen goes black but the computer stays on? | 02:39 |
| rksii | yes, meskarune, that is correct | 02:39 |

| FuZi0N | dejahthoris which parameters should i use for read/write/list/delete/make ? | 02:42 |
| rksii | I tried the stuff on that page meskarune -- no useful info (at least not useful to me) is being logged | 02:42 |
| dejahthoris | FuZi0N - what kind of access do you want to give to strangers? | 02:42 |
| FuZi0N | its not a stranger here | 02:42 |
| FuZi0N | *hehe | 02:43 |
| FuZi0N | just download/upload/list/append/make dir | 02:43 |
| meskarune | rksii: I see. you could try using a different suspend backend like tuxonice | 02:43 |
| FuZi0N | and delte | 02:43 |
| FuZi0N | *delete | 02:43 |
| mustafaerhann | 777 is ok then. | 02:43 |
| mustafaerhann | :D | 02:43 |
| dejahthoris | FuZi0N - then "chmod 777 directoryname" | 02:43 |
| rksii | haven't tried that -- I'm willing to use whatever will work. Other than this suspend issue, everything is working perfectly | 02:44 |
| meskarune | rksii: what is your laptop model? | 02:44 |
| rksii | Toshiba Satellite L775 | 02:45 |
| cfhowlett | rksii see software center toshutils | 02:45 |
| _Marcus | With all the people putting Ubuntu on the Toshiba Satellites, I'm suprised it doesn't work perfectly with them already. | 02:45 |
| rksii | I always used to use toshiba laptops with linux and this is the first real problem I have had | 02:46 |
| rksii | I guess it is a newer model | 02:46 |
| FuZi0N | so for example "chmod 777 /home/user/Downloads" ? | 02:46 |
| meskarune | rksil: if you use any proprietary graphics drivers, try unloading them and see if you can suspend | 02:46 |
| mustafaerhann | yes FuZi0N | 02:47 |
| dejahthoris | FuZi0N - yes, that will leave your ftp directory wide open | 02:47 |
| rksii | cfhowlett: there is nothing matching toshutils in the software center. I searched for just tosh and I already have toshset installed (guess it did that for me) and there are a few other things that don't seem like they have anything to do with suspend or power | 02:48 |
| FuZi0N | hmm | 02:48 |

| Jeremy3D | bazhang, i'm not seeing it. where should i look? | 02:50 |
| dejahthoris | FuZi0N - then I don't understand. chmod should work for any directory you've created | 02:51 |

| meskarune | LoganShaw: linux is primarily written in C | 02:54 |
| _Marcus | LoganShaw: C++ is okay at times. C is better at some areas though. This is Ubuntu support channel anyway. Type "!ot" for the off topic channel | 02:54 |

| _Marcus | fenem: You can always install it though | 02:56 |
| _Marcus | The Minimal CD is evil. | 02:57 |

| LoganShaw | I want to install ubuntu on my phone but the screen is 540x960, ubuntu minimum requirement claims 1024x768, should I even bother trying? | 03:13 |
| goathouse774 | I'm probably just going to skip checking the disc because it's simply too complicated, or the linked instructions are ambiguous. | 03:13 |
| hatop | loganshaw: probably not. also i'm assuming your phone runs android so you'd probably also encounter a lot of driver issues | 03:13 |
| hatop | loganshaw: and the display would be very odd if you stuck with unity | 03:14 |
| LoganShaw | but the phone came with a dumbed down version of ubuntu | 03:14 |
| cfhowlett | LoganShaw dumbed down for a reason... | 03:14 |
| sx_usr__ | hi guys, im currently using kernel 3.2.6 for my Ubuntu 11.10, but it seems that the SUSPEND doesn't work for my notebook hp elitebook 8540w? anyone has this similar problem? | 03:14 |
| hatop | indeed | 03:14 |
| ohdae | Hey does anyone happen to know a good desktop recording app for Ubuntu? | 03:14 |
| bazhang | ohdae, kazam or eidet | 03:15 |
| cfhowlett | ohdae gtkredordmydesktop | 03:15 |
| tenX | hatop: what is the main justification for unity in 20 words if i may ask? | 03:15 |
| cfhowlett | ohdae gtkrecordmydesktop | 03:15 |
| Dwade09 | How do i mess with the bar on the left side of ubuntu 11.10 like the delay on it or moving it around the screen so on? | 03:15 |
| ohdae | I'm looking for something that can preferably be able to edit the video afterwards, like zoom in on certain areas, add a sound track, etc | 03:15 |
| bazhang | tenX, #ubuntu-offtopic for that | 03:15 |
| hatop | tenx: i don't even have 1 word | 03:15 |
| ohdae | thanks guys, that was quick :D heh | 03:15 |
| sx_usr__ | ohdae:i think u can configure that from compiz | 03:15 |
| === root is now known as Guest10406 | ||
| LoganShaw | unity:think differently | 03:15 |
| ohdae | sx_usr__, ahh gotcha | 03:15 |
| cfhowlett | ohdae record the video then edit. openshot is nice | 03:15 |
| tenX | bazhang: only for interest | 03:15 |
| bazhang | tenX, right, and thats the chit chat channel, NOT here | 03:16 |
| ohdae | cfhowlett, yeah i was thinking i'd have to record then edit separately | 03:16 |
| tenX | hatop: i could imagine. difficult to describe a wm in short | 03:16 |
| fizyplankton | if the SATA cable fell (melted) off of a harddrive while it was running, could that cause the "read error rate" to be 14,605, the "Seek error rate" to be 59,303,348, and the "hardware ECC recovered" to be 14,605, yet the overall status say "disk is healthy" | 03:16 |
| hatop | tenx: i'm more than happy to take this to pm or go to that chan | 03:16 |
| cfhowlett | ohdae right, then strong them into one with openshot | 03:16 |
| ohdae | I'm trying to make a demo video for a project im working on. Showing screenshots of a console-based app only does so much :p | 03:16 |
| tenX | bazhang: that was only meant to aim for a quick info | 03:16 |
| hatop | fizyplankton: your drive is most likely dead/dieing. How it managed to melt is amazing, but I'd just try to salvage data and get a new drive. | 03:17 |
| OerHeks | fizyplankton, did it melt ? | 03:17 |
| ohdae | hmm ill reboot into Ubuntu and start looking :D | 03:17 |
| ohdae | thanks guys | 03:17 |
| cfhowlett | fizyplankton melted? Yes, I'd suspect some hardware issues? | 03:18 |
| tenX | bazhang: all set for myself, this was simply for interest. been wondering why unity became the primary wm on ubuntu | 03:18 |
| hatop | yeah anything melting is bad | 03:18 |
| Dwade09 | how do i mess with the settings for the bar on the left side of this picture? http://imagebin.org/199152 | 03:18 |
| OerHeks | he didn't say it melted, ..if... | 03:18 |
| hatop | dwade09: you don't really | 03:18 |
| FuZi0N | whats the best remote desktop/vnc server to use in ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| urfr332g0 | fizyplankton, there is a ##hardware channel they might be of some help in this. | 03:19 |
| hatop | he said fell(melted) | 03:19 |
| hatop | so I'm assuming it means it melted apart and then fell down | 03:19 |
| hatop | either way sounds like the drive connectors are bad and causing the issue and yes ##hardware would probably be more helpful | 03:19 |
| tenX | happyface: qry | 03:19 |
| Dwade09 | hatop: not one way at all? | 03:19 |
| fizyplankton | hatop: OerHeks the drive seems to be fine. the meltdown occured several months ago. my airconditioner broke, and my room is the hottest room in the house, and it was in the middle of the summer (i live in georgia. HOT). just that much was enough to melt it off. i still have the carnage on my desk. oddly enough, even 59 millioin errors wont cause the report to say an error, yet my other disk has 2 bad sectors and it return | 03:20 |
| Dwade09 | hatop: i like the bar but i want it on the bottom and a bit smaller. | 03:20 |
| hatop | dwade09: not that I know of really in 11.10. the new alpha stuff yes | 03:20 |
| hatop | fizyplankton: man, I'm in North Alabama and I've never actually seen the inside of a case hit the melting point of plastic | 03:21 |
| fizyplankton | hatop: if i really wanted too, i could send you a picture of the oval SATA connector | 03:22 |
| hatop | oh its fine, i'm just amazed is all | 03:22 |
| cfhowlett | fizyplankton ah don't be greedy. Paste it so we can ALL see... | 03:22 |
| hatop | I'd still replace the drive or go buy a dead one and transfer the board up | 03:22 |
| fizyplankton | hatop: all i use it for is as an archives drive, for huge files / backups / isos and other such things. my main drive is fine (except for the 2 bad sectors) | 03:23 |
| hatop | ah | 03:24 |
| K`zan | Hi folks, I'm trying to turn off mousekeys and I had tried a number of google found solutions, none of which work, help appreciated! | 03:24 |
| hatop | You could replace some of the connectors pretty cheaply with a dead drive | 03:24 |
| researcher123 | how do I kow how much RAM my PC has? what command line or system program to use? | 03:24 |
| K`zan | I found two places where it exists and disabled both but it is still there and still active :-(.\ | 03:24 |
| bazhang | fizyplankton, ##hardware please | 03:24 |
| Wabs | Researcher123, top works for showing memory | 03:25 |
| urfr332g0 | researcher123, free in the teminal will tell you | 03:25 |
| ex0 | vmstat also is goo | 03:26 |
| fizyplankton | hatop: i replaced the sata cable 6 months ago. im just wondering why i have millions of errors. a part of me thinks that when it melted off, it could have shorted out its statistics. for instance, it says its powered up time is 3 yrs. thats not impossible, as it is a relatively old drive, but i wouldnt be surprised if thats inaccurate | 03:27 |
| researcher123 | my system which was once very fast suddenly became slow. What can be done NOW? | 03:27 |
| bazhang | fizyplankton, lets take this to the appropriate channel | 03:27 |
| OerHeks | fizyplankton, maybe your motherboard is damaged too. | 03:27 |
| hatop | Its more likely that its shorting out on the board | 03:27 |
| boyhimas | Hi. I got ubuntu 9.10 here. Do I get all the features of oneric (except the unity interface) if I just run automatic update? | 03:28 |
| hatop | and thats causing a ton of read/write errors | 03:28 |
| Wabs | Researcher123, use terminal and run top to see whats killing your processor | 03:28 |
| === BigWeed is now known as bluegrue | ||
| OerHeks | boyhimas, you need a lot of updates, i guess you better reinstall a fresh 11.10. ,much faster. | 03:28 |
| ex0 | researcher123, use the command: ps -aux to see whats going on also | 03:29 |
| bazhang | !eolupgrades | boyhimas | 03:29 |
| ubottu | boyhimas: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 03:29 |
| researcher123 | Wabs: gvfsd-trash is using highest memory.What an I do now? | 03:29 |
| ex0 | do you have an ipod or iphone plugged in? | 03:30 |
| fizyplankton | bazhang: were almost done. hatop my other 2 drives arent reporting that level of data. the hdd end melted off, not the mb end. also, the way i had them arranged in the case before, this drive was the most likely to overheat, but that was the only possible config. now, i bought a bracket to mount it in a cd slot for better air flow across all 3 drives. | 03:30 |
| boyhimas | Oerheks, I was thinking of that but I'm not a big fan of Unity. Are there other options? | 03:30 |
| cfhowlett | boyhimas lubuntu xubuntu kubuntu | 03:31 |
| bazhang | fizyplankton, PM or ##hardware. this is not the channel for it | 03:31 |
| researcher123 | when I ran Top command in terminal I found one application using lot of memory.How do I stop that application? | 03:31 |
| ex0 | researcher123, gvfsd is usually signs of ipod or iphone | 03:31 |
| K`zan | Anyone know how to get rid of mousekeys? Turning it off in the control panel and commenting it out in the two places I have found it (/usr/share/X11/xkb/... ...) has not worked. | 03:31 |
| hatop | fizyplankton: yeah, thats what I figured. hence why i'm betting its the melted interface. | 03:31 |
| cfhowlett | researcher123 kill -9 processnumber | 03:31 |
| Wabs | kill | 03:31 |
| ex0 | researcher123, kill -9 (pid) | 03:31 |
| researcher123 | ok.done.Thanks | 03:32 |
| ex0 | np | 03:33 |
| Jordan_U | researcher123: cfhowlett: ex0: Only use "kill -9 pid" if "kill pid" fails to kill the process. | 03:33 |
| boyhimas | thanks guys! | 03:34 |
| cfhowlett | jordan_ ok. will see the man page... | 03:34 |
| Esquire | 03:36 | |
| OerHeks | K`zan, check keyboard settings, to disable mouse-emulation numpad | 03:36 |
| newhoa | boyhimas, Just from personal experience... a lot of the time upgrades (especially that far between releases) don't always go so well, and at the least could give you a lot of problems with config files. I always like to do fresh installs over upgrades because for me it's much safer, more reliable, and like OerHeks said, much faster. | 03:37 |
| goathouse774 | I'm trying to burn the xubuntu image to a dual layer dvd and it asks me if I want to split it equally over multiple layers. Should I say yes? | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | boyhimas you might also consider skipping the 6 month update cycle and just boot LTS versions. | 03:38 |
| newhoa | Oops, my screen froze, so I was answering something pretty late! | 03:38 |
| boyhimas | newhoa, thanks man! | 03:39 |
| urfr332g0 | goathouse774, you down load the cd or dvd, check the size. | 03:40 |
| goathouse774 | It's small enough to fit on cd | 03:40 |
| goathouse774 | Is there a dvd version? | 03:41 |
| newhoa | boyhimas, No problem! Have you tried Gnome-Shell yet? I'm not caring for Unity much myself, but I think gnome-shell is a bit better. | 03:41 |
| urfr332g0 | goathouse774, I would keep it on one side if it was me burn as an image. | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 the dvd version contains ALL language support plus some other stuff | 03:41 |
| goathouse774 | I don't need that | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 exactly... | 03:42 |
| goathouse774 | I have the image and my cd drive burned out so I'm trying to burn to what I have... A dual layer dvd. | 03:42 |
| boyhimas | cfhowlett, i'm not sure but is 10.10 the latest LTS release? | 03:42 |
| cfhowlett | boyhimas 10.04 is the latest. 12.04 is the next | 03:42 |
| urfr332g0 | goathouse774, dvd= http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download | 03:43 |
| boyhimas | newhoa, yeah I've tried gnome shell in fedora 15. Didn't like it very much | 03:43 |
| goathouse774 | That looks like ubuntu. I'm working with xubuntu. | 03:43 |
| boyhimas | cfhowlett, maybe I'll just wait for 12.04 | 03:43 |
| cfhowlett | fyi: 10.04 SHOULD directly update to 12.04 ... | 03:44 |
| shellcode28 | when i try to add resolution it gives me a error | 03:46 |
| goathouse774 | Specifically, the message is: "this image (when split in two) has an L0 (1st layer) that is smaller than the media specified 'read compatibility LBA'. | 03:46 |
| shellcode28 | xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default | 03:46 |
| goathouse774 | "do you want to split it equally over multiple layers anyway?" | 03:47 |
| goathouse774 | Yes, no, or cancel? | 03:48 |
| jiero | hi, where I can find if a package is supported ? | 03:50 |
| Mike9863 | 'm currently using an emerald theme and I installed AMD proprietary graphics drivers. Now when I hover over window buttons (minimize, maximize, and close) they don't highlight. This is a problem because with my theme the buttons do not show unless I over over them. Is this a cause of the new drivers, and if so is there any way to fix this? | 03:51 |
| Jordan_U | Mike9863: Unfortunately emerald hasn't been maintained or supported by anyone for years. | 03:52 |
| newhoa | boyhimas, if you don't like Xubuntu or Lubuntu, you could try Linux Mint 12. As part of the default install, it includes MATE desktop, just a fork of Gnome 2. So it may be the best of both worlds... updated distro based on Ubuntu, but "classic" Gnome 2 style desktop. | 03:53 |
| Jordan_U | jiero: If it's in main, it's supported by canonical and the community. If it's in universe then it's only supported by the community. | 03:54 |

| goathouse774 | Can anyone give me a firm answer on burning over multiple layers on a dual dvd? (xubuntu) | 04:06 |
| newhoa | Does anyone here use the Victory Gtk theme, and/or would anyone here want to try a Gtk3 version out to see if it works? | 04:08 |
| goathouse774 | I know it's sort of off topic, but only have a scarce few dvds so I don't want to make a coaster right now | 04:09 |

| cfhowlett | SimonTam I've seen more than one post that upgrading to 11.10 causes more problems than a clean install - which is usually the case. No obvious solution other than re-install. IMHO, you're better served staying with LTS, but that's must me... | 04:24 |

| ponrajuganesh | where to find the bash rc file? where will it be located | 04:35 |
| agentgasmask | somsip: Oh, I'll try it again. But I think it is the GDM background. I'll check. | 04:35 |
| nathan28 | fabianvampiro: margins in libreoffice are done as a 'page' setting, per page | 04:35 |
| agentgasmask | ponrajuganesh: /home/USER/.bashrc | 04:35 |
| capcook | i think open office is far better than libre office | 04:35 |
| agentgasmask | ponrajuganesh: do ls -a .bashrc to see it. | 04:35 |
| capcook | they arent the same thing | 04:36 |
| SimonTam | Um... How? | 04:36 |
| ponrajuganesh | thanks agentgasmask :) | 04:36 |
| capcook | i think that libre office is unusable at all | 04:36 |
| johnson17 | Hi everyone, I'm on 11.10, installed only a few packages for web dev (lamp-server, etc.). Problem is that recently, nautilus can't browse network or trash anymore. I've googled and found this bug has been reported, but can't find any clear resolution steps. Any clues as to what I should do? | 04:36 |
| === cindy_ is now known as chipmonk | ||
| somsip | agentgasmask: not sure about xmonad, but check to see what the 'open terminal' keystroke is and try that. It's WIN-enter in my case, not ALT-enter | 04:36 |
| ndkelly | johnson17 I'd say if you're using it for a server, to choose a stable, certified release. | 04:37 |
| tenX | capcook: unusable? | 04:37 |
| fabianvampiro | I use open office but when I print to a cybercafe margins move | 04:37 |
| capcook | yes in my ubuntu 11.10 freeze many times | 04:37 |
| goathouse774 | Well, I booted from the disc into xubuntu and it works. I touch sluggish, but not bad. Internet works and basic functions. What should I do now? | 04:37 |
| cfhowlett | SimonTam did you get straightened out? | 04:37 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 install! | 04:38 |
| Kismac | johnson17: we use natty on some 123 servers…. | 04:38 |
| Kismac | tho we run nginx on them only :) | 04:39 |
| chipmonk | how do i add a second harddrive to ubuntu | 04:39 |
| cfhowlett | fabianvampiro personally I'd go with the Libre Office packages. transfer between MS office is still not exact, but you save/export in office formats. All else fails, export as PDF to lock in your formatting. | 04:39 |
| johnson17 | ndkelly: this is just a dev machine, so there isn't anything critical if it all melts down - I'm just surprised that nautilus suddenly stopped working | 04:39 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 have you installed xubuntu or did you live boot? | 04:39 |
| agentgasmask | somsip: Hmm... no joy. No problem though, I'm messing with wmii now... :) | 04:39 |
| goathouse774 | Live boot | 04:40 |
| chipmonk | it is mounted but programs willnot use it for data storage says won't write | 04:40 |
| somsip | agentgasmask: ok - give AwesomeWM a go if you feel like trying another :) | 04:40 |
| fabianvampiro | thx all people je je | 04:40 |
| ndkelly | johnson17 ah, well did you run sudo apt-get update after installation? | 04:40 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 live boot is always slower - everything you see is loaded in ram | 04:40 |
| goathouse774 | Will installing wipe the computer? | 04:40 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 yes but... | 04:41 |
| tenX | goathouse774: not really | 04:41 |
| ndkelly | goathouse774 no, you can choose which partitions you want to format or install to. | 04:41 |
| tenX | goathouse774: toe make sure you should "null" the device | 04:41 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 depends how you set it up. For instance if you have a separate /home you can choose to skip formatting that partition. | 04:41 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 is this a dual boot machine or buntu only? | 04:42 |
| goathouse774 | "null"? /home? | 04:42 |
| johnson17 | ndkelly : yep, today I got a couple of other updates showing up though - I'm updating right now, since they look like they're major. | 04:42 |
| goathouse774 | I don't know, it has windows on it currently. | 04:42 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 and I imagine you plan to keep windows? | 04:42 |
| goathouse774 | Should I? Would it impede anything on the linux side? | 04:43 |
| ndkelly | johnson17 let us know how that goes and i'll offer what advice i can | 04:43 |
| ndkelly | Does anybody have a Two Finger Scroll fix for Synaptics Trackpads for 10.04 per chance? | 04:43 |
| snowrichard | i got a kernel update today | 04:44 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 it wouldn't hurt your buntu. Perhaps you may have a need for windows though - it's actually not that hard to "dual-boot" both. | 04:44 |
| tenX | goathouse774: whatever you put on it it depends on your intention, how efficiently you like to erase | 04:44 |
| johnson17 | ndkelly: Thanks, I'll take another look at launchpad to see the bug reports. | 04:44 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 please see this before your do anything https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 04:44 |
| Sebastien | welcome back bot. | 04:45 |
| cfhowlett | status | 04:45 |
| cfhowlett | !status | 04:45 |
| goathouse774 | If the buntu stuff is siloed then why wouldn't I keep windows around? Is dual booting for quickly switching back and forth? | 04:46 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 dual booting means completely rebooting - not hot/fast switching. Why keep windows? Up to you. | 04:47 |
| goathouse774 | When booted to buntu windows has no effect right? | 04:48 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 nor vice versa | 04:48 |
| Toph2 | I'm running ubuntu 11.10 and my computer often slows to a crawl, especially when I have chrome and Thunderbird running. Htop indicates that Compiz is using almost 20% of my CPU capacity. Is this normal? | 04:48 |
| goathouse774 | As I see it, the only thing you lose by keeping windows is hard drive space. | 04:48 |
| goathouse774 | On a basic level, is that so? | 04:49 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: when you keep windows you can't control the partitioning scheme on the disk as well | 04:49 |
| nathan28 | it makes it harder to keep something like /home intact if you reinstall | 04:49 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 that's one arguement. I do buntu 90% of the time 9% windows and 1% OSX. | 04:49 |
| nathan28 | likewise you have to deal w/ bootloader issues | 04:50 |
| nathan28 | which are easy enough but still another consideration | 04:50 |
| goathouse774 | Bootloader issues? | 04:50 |
| nathan28 | making sure GRUB and windows play nice | 04:50 |
| goathouse774 | I thought they are siloed | 04:50 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 no bootloader issues if you install virtualbox into windows and then install buntu into that. | 04:51 |
| ndkelly | I've kept GRUB on sda3 (my ubuntu partition) | 04:51 |
| ndkelly | As i have to boot through Chameleon first, then GRUB | 04:51 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 when running they are siloed. On boot, the machine resources POST and the like... | 04:51 |
| nathan28 | ndkelly: that's what i mean | 04:51 |
| cfhowlett | ndkelly but you're multi-booting as well | 04:51 |
| goathouse774 | Post? | 04:52 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: the reason to keep windows is 1. to play games 2. you need a windows-only app for work/school | 04:52 |
| goathouse774 | But they mess with each other on boot? | 04:52 |
| ndkelly | nathan28 i assume you mean for document formats? Or is the method of your work also dependant on Windows software | 04:52 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: not likley to | 04:52 |
| nathan28 | ndkelly: yes for document formats | 04:53 |
| nathan28 | most of the world can't get off the MS office | 04:53 |
| goathouse774 | But they... dictate partitioning rules? | 04:53 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 the most recently installed OS writes the MasterBootRecord. Scrambled MBR = No boot. | 04:53 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: no | 04:53 |
| ndkelly | You can always cross format. Most open source office programs allow you to save a file so it can be opened universally | 04:53 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 YOU set the partitions | 04:53 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: windows can't read ext partitions | 04:54 |
| goathouse774 | How would the mbr get scrambled? | 04:54 |
| ndkelly | Windows is stubborn and only likes NTFS. Or FAT32 depending on which release you're running. | 04:54 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: the last OS installed is going to want to overwrite the MBR | 04:54 |
| nathan28 | IIRC in ubuntu you have to disable the overwrite from the installer | 04:55 |
| ndkelly | There's a fairly decent guide that allows you to get Windows and GRUB to play nice | 04:55 |
| goathouse774 | So you can't switch back and forth? | 04:55 |
| nathan28 | ndkelly: true | 04:55 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: yes | 04:55 |
| nathan28 | you reboot | 04:55 |
| cfhowlett | goathouse774 gotta go quite soon but my suggestion to you is this: install virtual box on windows, install xubuntu into virtualbox. Learn more. THEN install a dual boot when you've a better idea of what you're doing. *Dear Old Dad: "It's free advice son, and worth every penny!" | 04:55 |
| nathan28 | you just need to configure your bootloader (GRUB) right | 04:55 |
| ndkelly | Or, might i suggest looking into Virtual Machines? | 04:55 |
| ndkelly | cfhowlett beat me to it. | 04:56 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: the best way to learn is to do it | 04:56 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: use clonezilla to create a backup of your disk | 04:56 |
| nathan28 | then find a guide to dual-booting | 04:56 |
| nathan28 | then install whatver linux distro you want | 04:56 |
| nathan28 | you will understand more | 04:56 |
| nathan28 | or | 04:56 |
| nathan28 | just put it in a VM w/ virtual box | 04:57 |
| ndkelly | I've started with Ubuntu, and already learned quite a few things in the past 2 days. | 04:57 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: if you use a VM you may have to turn on virtualization support in your BIOS | 04:57 |
| goathouse774 | Is it slower in a virtual box? | 04:57 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: probably but on a modern system it's much better than it used to be | 04:57 |
| ndkelly | One of which being, I can EITHER have a slow-ish release and a perfect trackpad. Or a less than satisfactory trackpad and a solid release for my netbook. | 04:57 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: how much RAM do you have? | 04:58 |
| goathouse774 | 513 | 04:58 |
| goathouse774 | 512 | 04:58 |
| nathan28 | MB? | 04:58 |
| nathan28 | and you run windows? | 04:58 |
| nathan28 | are you sure? | 04:58 |
| goathouse774 | Yeah | 04:58 |
| goathouse774 | Yeah, easily | 04:58 |
| nathan28 | on 512 MB of ram? | 04:58 |
| memyself | in windows we can search *.exe but in ubuntu how to do what ? | 04:58 |
| memyself | that | 04:58 |
| johnson17 | goathouse774: which version of windows? | 04:58 |
| goathouse774 | Xp | 04:59 |
| nathan28 | memyself: find /whatever_directory -iname whatever_your_looking_for | 04:59 |
| nathan28 | memyself: or if you have m/slocate, just "locate foo" | 04:59 |
| goathouse774 | 512 was a lot of ram not too long ago | 04:59 |
| ndkelly | I guess you're running XP | 04:59 |
| ndkelly | ? | 04:59 |
| goathouse774 | Xp | 05:00 |
| memyself | nathan i want to find file extension | 05:00 |
| nathan28 | memyself: linux doesn't do extensions | 05:00 |
| ndkelly | Nothing wrong with that. It's a solid release. Anyway, XP of all things should play nicely with Ubuntu, as it's one of the oldest Dual Boot OS's out there | 05:00 |
| nathan28 | memyself: are you looking for executables? | 05:00 |
| nathan28 | memyself: or are you looking for files that end in 'foo' | 05:01 |
| goathouse774 | Would it be that dangerous for me to go ahead and install without researching dual boot? | 05:01 |
| Zillow | I don't like the new UI | 05:02 |
| nathan28 | goathouse774: he who doesn't read the manual now reads it later, with great sadness | 05:02 |
| ndkelly | goathouse774 yes | 05:02 |
| nathan28 | if you have nothing 'mission critical' on the box | 05:02 |
| nathan28 | by all means, do as you will | 05:02 |
| memyself | no i'm lookin for a specific file that i can only remember its extension | 05:02 |
| ndkelly | Measure twice, cut once. as my dad says. | 05:02 |
| goathouse774 | Haha | 05:02 |
| nathan28 | memyself: in ubuntu? | 05:02 |
| nathan28 | "locate *foo_extension" | 05:03 |
| nathan28 | otherwise, fine / -iname *exension or more likely find /home/user -iname *extension | 05:04 |

| magn3ts | they're always blank no matter what I do. | 05:04 |
| ndkelly | goathouse774 before i dual booted my netbook i did extensive research in forums and on peoples blogs to ensure i didnt screw up my machine | 05:04 |
| ndkelly | And it paid off. | 05:04 |
| nathan28 | ndkelly: it's not that dangerous | 05:04 |
| ndkelly | Not only will you get it working, but you'll have the knowledge of how to fix it | 05:04 |
| nathan28 | you just should maybe read one guide once or twice | 05:05 |
| ndkelly | nathan28 It is if you're missing key install media like i am. | 05:05 |
| nathan28 | ndkelly: you have linux install media | 05:05 |
| ndkelly | nathan28 I dual boot with OS X on my netbook. | 05:05 |

| memyself | brb | 05:06 |
| lolcat^ | Every OS can make them | 05:06 |
| nathan28 | well OSX disks are only $30 | 05:06 |
| ndkelly | Not for this netbook. | 05:06 |
| ndkelly | netbooks dont have optical drives either. | 05:06 |
| nathan28 | hackintosh? | 05:06 |
| ndkelly | yes | 05:07 |
| damo22 | ndkelly, buy the retail osx disk and roll your own install usb | 05:07 |
| Zillow | hackintosh through vbox is nice | 05:07 |
| ndkelly | oops. | 05:07 |
| ndkelly | I intend to. But i need access to a genuine mac before i can make it. It never worked before in Linux or Windows. | 05:08 |
| damo22 | ndkelly, i rolled one from linux | 05:08 |
| nathan28 | ndkelly: if you have an OSX iso you're most of the way there already | 05:08 |
| ndkelly | really? I couldnt get mine to work. | 05:09 |
| Zillow | why not just run OS X in vbox and do it from there? | 05:09 |
| damo22 | ndkelly, google nawcom | 05:09 |
| nathan28 | the ISO? yeah i'm not sure how apple feels about letting users checkum it | 05:09 |
| ndkelly | It just seems to work better from a genuine mac. It's not impossible for me to get access to one, just selective. | 05:09 |
| victicom | what's cookin'? | 05:09 |
| ndkelly | damo22 have done. shall look into it, thanks | 05:10 |
| whumphrey | Can someone help me with a USB wireless adapter encryption issue? | 05:10 |
| ndkelly | Anyway, my netbook works for the minute so all good on that front. Minus the mouse but im still working on finding a fix. | 05:10 |
| syddraf | I have configured two of my 1TB drives in a RAID 1 setup.

| nathan28 | you are still using X for your GUI | 05:19 |
| nathan28 | whumphrey: i'm not familair w/ usb wireless | 05:20 |
| ndkelly | Define X? | 05:20 |
| nathan28 | whumphrey: what encryption, and is your network SSID not boradcasting | 05:20 |
| nathan28 | ndkelly: X11, the window server | 05:20 |

| whumphrey | nathan28, negative | 05:40 |
| cfhowlett | diuneigh what size did you input | 05:40 |
| ndkelly | Ok, finally found an option to two finger scroll. however it hasn't worked so im going to try rebooting. | 05:40 |
| whumphrey | nathan28, If you wanna try I would be willing to though | 05:40 |
| whumphrey | nathan28, Everything I read told me that I had to install windows drivers via ndiswrapper | 05:40 |
| diuneigh | cfhowlett: when I installed ubuntu I put 4096. gparted reads it as 3.81 though. | 05:41 |
| cfhowlett | diuneigh normal... | 05:41 |
| overclucker | sun_devil: why are you trying to move it to /etc ? | 05:42 |
| cfhowlett | diuneigh this is a raid setup?? | 05:42 |
| diuneigh | cfhowlett: how can I check that? | 05:42 |
| diuneigh | cfhowlett: probably not.. just a laptop. | 05:42 |
| diuneigh | cfhowlett: from what I have learned I need to unmount the swap file and start over.. but I don't know how to do that. | 05:43 |

| OerHeks | or reasons | 05:52 |
| diuneigh | OerHeks... I'm not sure... I was able to get it working once before by modifying the fstab.. I did that again this time but no luck. | 05:53 |

| OerHeks | diuneigh, line 36 Disk /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 doesn't contain a valid partition table > what means you messed it up, i am not sure how to get it right, the wiki says something like 'sudo ecryptfs-setup-swap' in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome | 06:05 |

| habanero_ | thanks for the input! | 06:19 |
| nathan28 | habanero_: sounds like a reproduceable problem | 06:19 |
| habanero_ | word | 06:19 |
| cypher-neo | habanero_, I have aptitude mainly for a shell script I wrote to scan for new packages. | 06:20 |
| cypher-neo | habanero_, I use apt-get to install and remove them however. | 06:20 |
| Zillow | join #debian | 06:20 |
| habanero_ | i'll try apt-get | 06:20 |
| cypher-neo | habanero_, I don't like aptitude for installing because it does weird things like that on occasion. | 06:20 |
| habanero_ | i agree, so does aptitude full-upgrade=apt-get upgrade? | 06:21 |
| Rurd2di | hmm smbd wont stay on | 06:21 |
| cypher-neo | habanero_, I'm still installing. I'll tell you if anything else happens momentarily. | 06:21 |
| Rurd2di | it just dies | 06:21 |
| Rurd2di | as soon as it starts | 06:21 |
| cypher-neo | habanero_, The two commands you'll need to learn on apt-get are "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" | 06:21 |
| habanero_ | strange, I'm running apt-get upgrade, and the result is "The following packages have been kept back" ... flash... | 06:22 |
| cypher-neo | habanero_, I only use apt-get dist-upgrade if apt-get upgrade doesn't install all the upgrades. | 06:22 |
| cypher-neo | habanero_, Packages will held back if the dependancies they require don't exist on the system. That's when you use dist-upgrade... to upgrade a package and it's local dependancies. | 06:23 |

| overclucker | shellcode84: you should probably fix my typo though... | 06:40 |
| whumphrey | nathan28, I'm back | 06:41 |
| overclucker | shellcode84: that's to back up your broken xorg.conf | 06:41 |
| Ben64 | ChipCherou: then you need to remove the nvidia drivers via apt-get | 06:41 |
| ChipCherou | Ben64: isn't there a way for me to force x to load radeon drivers instead (this linux jumps between ati and nvidia) | 06:41 |
| whumphrey | nathan28, now the wireless networks don't appear | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | ChipCherou: you can create an xorg.conf | 06:42 |
| ChipCherou | Ben64: in /etc/X11? | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | ChipCherou: yep. | 06:42 |
| ChipCherou | Ben64: Thank you, I thought it wouldn't work cause its depreciated. Ill give it a shot | 06:43 |
| nathan28 | whumphrey: your issue is w/ iw_set_auth and iw_set_freq... maybe hard-code it? it's past my bedtime so try to hit up google... good luck | 06:43 |
| overclucker | shellcode84: then sudo cp /path/to/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf change the first part to the the actual location of your backup | 06:43 |
| Ben64 | ChipCherou: yeah, will still work, its just not needed anymore | 06:43 |
| kroonrs | Why does an open instance of Libre-Office not show up as an option when I alt-tab? (Unity on 11.10)? | 06:43 |
| whumphrey | thanks | 06:43 |
| ChipCherou | Ben64: is there a way to have X automatically use the correct driver instead of hard coding it requiring me to have xorg.conf? | 06:44 |
| cfhowlett | kroonrs see http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/libreoffice-ship-global-menu-default-11-10/ | 06:44 |

| Ben64 | ChipCherou: it usually does, but if you have both drivers on i guess it can be confused | 06:45 |
| kroonrs | cfhowlett: what is the impact of not having global menus? | 06:45 |
| cfhowlett | kroonrs I don't use 11.10 but as I understand it, you can't use the shortcut method you described as broken | 06:46 |
| kroonrs | cfhowlett: well, that's pretty crappy :( just because of menu style, you can't access an application you've launched, and need to terminate it with a kill signal if you switch from it | 06:47 |
| cfhowlett | kroonrs hopefully a fix is forthcoming. | 06:48 |

| shellcode84 | i wrote how u wrote it | 06:55 |
| kroonrs | shellcode84: you have // in your path | 06:55 |
| overclucker | shellcode84: use an absolute path, meaning start the path from / ie: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:56 |
| kroonrs | shellcode84: and xorg,conf | 06:56 |
| shellcode84 | i know the x.config is on the file system | 06:56 |

| jswagner | how long? | 07:03 |
| Ben64 | shellcode84: what does it say when you do "ls -lh /etc/X11/xorg.conf*" | 07:04 |
| goathouse774 | It's been stuck there for about 15 min. | 07:04 |
| shellcode84 | i havent tried that yet | 07:04 |
| goathouse774 | the ethernet port is flashing quite a bit | 07:04 |
| snowrichard | is it downloading software at that point? | 07:04 |
| goathouse774 | it isn't saying it is anymore | 07:04 |
| jswagner | goathouse774: standard ubuntu install tends to stall at the end while it downloads updates and "language packs" | 07:04 |
| === sephr is now known as eboy | ||

| goathouse774 | ok good | 07:05 |

| goathouse774 | they're not? | 07:07 |
| shellcode84 | i did and it gave me that info | 07:08 |
| blackslik | which command to use to update all dependences | 07:08 |
| blackslik | ? | 07:08 |
| shellcode84 | with quote or without? | 07:08 |
| goathouse774 | by "restricted extras" are you referring to flash, etc.? | 07:08 |
| blackslik | :( | 07:08 |
| urfr332g0 | goathouse774, no you can get some codecs with the install but that package is available after the install. | 07:08 |
| overclucker | shellcode84: ls -lh /etc/X11/xorg.conf* | 07:09 |

| whumphrey | anyone willing to try and help me with an encryption issue using a wireless usb adapter? I got it working but not with encryption | 07:12 |
| Israfel | They key would be encrypted. | 07:13 |
| crizzy_ | Israfel: ssh'ing into the account is logging in, no ? :) | 07:13 |
| overclucker | shellcode84: can it ends with .config ? | 07:13 |
| Israfel | it's not. | 07:13 |
| crizzy_ | umm, ok | 07:13 |
| Ben64 | ssh is logging in | 07:13 |
| Israfel | Not if you're using SSH keys. | 07:13 |
| overclucker | ignore 'can' | 07:13 |
| crizzy_ | well, with ssh keys it doesn't work, then | 07:14 |
| crizzy_ | :P | 07:14 |
| shellcode84 | Im sorry can it what | 07:14 |
| Israfel | Is there a way to leave part of it unencrypted? | 07:14 |
| Israfel | Mainly the .ssh folder? | 07:14 |
| overclucker | sorry, my thoughts change direction too quickly. are you sure it ends with .config ? | 07:15 |

| shellcode84 | xorg.config | 07:20 |
| mikeliss | I think I may be in the middle of uninstalling the kernel on my server...uname -a shows the one that's currently uninstalling. | 07:21 |
| mikeliss | Is this because the next version installed, and I need to reboot? | 07:21 |
| overclucker | shellcode84: waht command isn't found? what are you typing? what is the exact output? | 07:21 |
| mikeliss | I'll admit I'm freaking just a bit. | 07:22 |
| shellcode84 | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.config /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:22 |

| shellcode84 | command not found /etc/X11/xorg.config | 07:23 |
| Ben64 | Engin: look in syslog | 07:23 |
| urfr332g0 | mikeliss, that command just shows the kernel, to remove one you woulf have to do it. | 07:23 |
| Ben64 | shellcode84: you aren't typing it correctly | 07:23 |

| shellcode84 | i did | 07:25 |
| Engin | bkerensa: hmm i noticed i haven't used absolute paths in one of the commands... what would be the working directory of execution of this script i wonder | 07:25 |
| shellcode84 | do that | 07:25 |
| Ben64 | shellcode84: you forgot something, or it wouldn't say 'command not found' | 07:25 |
| mikeliss | So uname -a shows the kernel I'm using and /boot shows one with a higher version, and I'm currently uninstalling the one I'm running. Have a screwed up? | 07:26 |
| shellcode84 | ok im type it see if is correct | 07:26 |
| Ben64 | mikeliss: why and how are you uninstalling the kernel? | 07:26 |
| urfr332g0 | goathouse774, there is a #android channel they might be helpful as well. | 07:27 |
| shellcode84 | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf is that correct? | 07:27 |
| jjprieto | . | 07:27 |
| Y_Ichiro | hm, it never ceases to amaze me how the programs that i never use like Libreoffice somehow makes it onto the desktop but programs like Terminal which there are no shortcuts for in Ubuntu | 07:27 |
| bkerensa | mikeliss: How do you know you are uninstalling it? What command did you issue? | 07:27 |
| mikeliss | Ben64: The boot partition was full of old ones...but I may have mis-calculated which I can remove. Removing it with apt-get. | 07:27 |
| overclucker | mikeliss: what do you plan to do if the new kernel doesn't work correctly? | 07:27 |
| mikeliss | overclucker: liveCD, I suppose...not a great option. | 07:28 |
| Ben64 | mikeliss: you didn't install a new one before? | 07:28 |
| mikeliss | Ben64: Well, it's in /boot, so I suppose it's installed. | 07:28 |
| overclucker | mikeliss: it'd a good idea to keep at least one 'known' working kernel to fall back on. | 07:28 |
| mikeliss | Can't say I pay a ton of attention since I typically just let Apt/update manager do their things. | 07:28 |
| Ben64 | mikeliss: i wouldn't count on that, check using dpkg | 07:28 |
| urfr332g0 | Y_Ichiro, shortcuts like ctrl-alt-t | 07:29 |
| urfr332g0 | programs like I guesss? | 07:29 |
| mikeliss | Ben64: Dpkg shows ii next to the version higher than the one I'm removing. | 07:29 |
| stephans | Ok so the funniest thing happened after I applied all the updates to my ubuntu laptop... no all of a sudden my mouse wheel scrolls the other way! I have to roll forward to go down the page. Tred several mice... same thing... what coule that be? | 07:29 |
| mikeliss | Ben64: Meaning it's installed, yes? | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | mikeliss: should be good then, just run update-grub before you reboot | 07:29 |
| mikeliss | Ben64: that should have been run automatically already, right? | 07:30 |
| mikeliss | Ben64: Is there a way to tell if the system is awaiting a reboot from me? | 07:30 |
| Ben64 | mikeliss: it can't hurt to do it again | 07:30 |
| Ben64 | mikeliss: do you have a desktop | 07:30 |
| trond- | Y_Ichiro, most likely because Ubuntu doesn't want the perception of Linux = command line / shell to continue. Most people just want their system to work and if it doesn't, make it work without using the shell and a bunch of commands that they don't understand anyway. | 07:30 |
| mikeliss | Ben64: Naw, it's a server, and I a poor admin, but I notice now that the MOTD wants a reboot. | 07:30 |

| kroonrs | hi - I'm running an application inside an xterm, that is controlled by function keys, but when I press F10, my dropbox menu in the notification area drops down. Any idea how I can get the F10 to actually reach my xterm? (oneiric, unity) | 07:57 |
| Ben64 | blackslik_: somehow you have a sources.list from about 4 years ago, which is a problem | 07:57 |
| blackslik_ | so what to do bro? | 07:58 |
| Ben64 | blackslik_: replace it with one from 11.10 | 07:58 |
| overclucker | blackslik_: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 07:58 |
| kroonrs | (if I quit dropbox, the next application in the notification area's menu drops down) | 07:58 |
| Ben64 | overclucker: nice! never knew about that | 07:58 |
| overclucker | Ben64: there's one for debian systems too. beats looking a sources.list online | 07:59 |
| Ben64 | overclucker: yeah, looks great | 07:59 |
| malloc | kroonrs, you need to look into xterm's options | 08:00 |
| blackslik_ | ben64: kinda confuse | 08:01 |
| blackslik_ | on downloading the sourcelist | 08:01 |
| kroonrs | malloc: but unity is capturing the f10 before it gets to xterm, it seems (the other function keys work fine in Xterm) | 08:01 |
| dr_willis | askubuntu.com may have a correct list. i cant imagine how your list changed. | 08:02 |
| Ben64 | blackslik_: go to that site overclucker said, and use that to generate a new one | 08:02 |
| malloc | kroonrs, oh i see.. well then perhaps you need to look into unity's own preferences.. probably some option to change that F10 function | 08:03 |
| blackslik_ | ok thanks | 08:03 |
| overclucker | blackslik_: pick your country, release (oneiric) and check 'Main', 'Security', and 'Updates' at minimum. you can check more if you want | 08:03 |
| kroonrs | malloc: installed gconf-editor - looks like F10 is mapped to 6 different shortcuts in unity *sigh* | 08:04 |
| goathouse774| | Ok. So I went to google.com and went for chrome. Lo and behold there was a linux version. I merely downloaded it and the app store thing popped up and now my comp is slow as mud. I can't really do anything. | 08:04 |
| goathouse774| | The comp is making a bunch of noise like it's trying hard to accomplish something | 08:05 |
| dr_willis | chromium browser is in the repos | 08:05 |
| tewea | i have an external hard disck and i can't write to it what shal i do just iam using linux and the hard disck format is FAT32 | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | noise? check dmesg output | 08:06 |
| goathouse774| | You know, just the classic noise computers make when working to open stuff | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | tewea: you want all users full write avcess? | 08:07 |
| goathouse774| | Dmesg? I can't really do anything right now. It's so so slow... | 08:07 |
| tewea | dr_willis: yes | 08:07 |
| dr_willis | tewea: i tend to install and run the ntfs-config tool to enable it for ntfs and vfat | 08:08 |
| goathouse774| | Was it a mistake to download chrome from google.com? | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | goathouse774|: i doubt if thats the issue | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | i use chrome on ubuntu normally | 08:09 |
| goathouse774| | This is xubuntu | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | its all the same core | 08:09 |
| blackslik_ | overclucker: http://paste.ubuntu.com/844084/ | 08:10 |
| goathouse774| | I'm surprised to see this kind of slowdown with a fresh install... | 08:10 |
| avisek | hallow..... I have to install driver for SAMSUNG ML - 1676 Monocrome printer.............. i have a file for that on gr.tz format........... I do not know how to install it | 08:10 |
| goathouse774| | Is there an equivalent to ctrl-alt-delete? | 08:10 |
| rzx237 | goathouse774|: I've heard that google chrome collect user statistic | 08:11 |
| avisek | can some body help?????? | 08:11 |
| overclucker | blackslik_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:11 |
| goathouse774| | I didn't install chrome yet | 08:11 |
| damo22 | avisek, tar zxvf gr.tz | 08:11 |
| dr_willis | avisek: with what? | 08:11 |
| goathouse774| | The app store thing tried to open and basically stalled the whole system out | 08:11 |
| urfr332g0 | avisek, have you looked i printers to see if the driver is available there. | 08:11 |
| urfr332g0 | in | 08:11 |
| urfr332g0 | printer actually | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | drivers may be in the repos. | 08:12 |
| sarah | ph | 08:12 |
| goathouse774| | Is there a way to force close processes? | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | in extra packages | 08:12 |
| === sarah is now known as Guest24321 | ||
| avisek | yes...... i download it from the samsung site.... | 08:12 |
| Myrtti | avisek: it might work out of the box, you don't necessarily even need to install anything if you're lucky | 08:12 |
| avisek | but i don't know how to install it............ | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | avisek: that donload may not be needed | 08:13 |
| damo22 | avisek, try the standard printer setup in ubuntu first | 08:13 |
| avisek | i also tried it... | 08:13 |
| Useranonimo | hello, someone can see my ip? thanks | 08:14 |
| avisek | it is showing my printer... | 08:14 |
| damo22 | avisek, so whats the problem? does it print? | 08:14 |
| avisek | but it does not working... | 08:14 |
| dr_willis | !printers | 08:14 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 08:14 |
| Useranonimo | hello, someone can see my ip? thanks | 08:14 |
| avisek | no... | 08:14 |
| goathouse774| | I really need to force close or do a hard shut down. This is grotesque. :) | 08:15 |
| urfr332g0 | Useranonimo, you xcan check it yourself | 08:15 |
| urfr332g0 | can | 08:15 |
| tewea | dr_willis:alradey i installe it then what is next? | 08:15 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774|: run top or htop and see whats eating all the resources | 08:15 |
| goathouse774| | How? | 08:15 |
| avisek | ok.... | 08:15 |
| dr_willis | tewea: run it :-) | 08:15 |
| Useranonimo | I'm connect to irc with tor, a proxy, how can I know my ip? Thank you! | 08:16 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774|: fastest way is to ssh in from another computer, but you can open a terminal and do it there | 08:16 |
| avisek | thanks for answering...... i will try once more............. | 08:16 |
| === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral | ||
| goathouse774| | I can't even close my browser yet | 08:16 |
| urfr332g0 | Useranonimo, run a whats my ip in your browser ruuning tor | 08:16 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774|: or you can do CTRL+ALT+F1 and login from console | 08:17 |
| goathouse774| | And there are bars along the top and bottom (errors, basically). | 08:17 |
| goathouse774| | How do I do that? | 08:17 |
| Ben64 | CTRL+ALT+F1 brings you to a console with a login prompt | 08:18 |
| goathouse774| | Ok now what do I do? | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | reboot command :-) | 08:19 |
| goathouse774| | How do I "be root"? | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | or sudo service lightdm restart | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | !sudo | 08:20 |
| ubottu | 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 | 08:20 |
| goathouse774| | Ok, but what do I type to reboot now? | 08:21 |
| dr_willis | reboot ..... | 08:21 |
| dr_willis | is tge cimmand.. | 08:21 |
| goathouse774| | I need to "be root" first | 08:21 |
| dr_willis | or restart x | 08:21 |
| damo22 | sudo reboot | 08:21 |
| dr_willis | use sudo | 08:21 |
| dr_willis | :-) | 08:22 |
| Ben64 | or kill the process taking all the cpu | 08:22 |
| goathouse774| | Too late, I rebooted | 08:22 |
| Ben64 | that works too | 08:22 |
| damo22 | or you can go to console mode and press ctrl alt del | 08:22 |
| dr_willis | actually alt ctrl del. on the console may reboot | 08:22 |
| damo22 | touch wood | 08:23 |
| Ben64 | too bad ctrl alt backspace doesnt work anymore | 08:23 |
| goathouse774| | That was brutal | 08:23 |
| damo22 | that was handy that command | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | it works for me. :-) | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | !dontzap | 08:23 |
| ubottu | To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 08:23 |
| damo22 | ctrl-alt-backspace | 08:23 |
| Ben64 | yeah i think theres a way to... | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | theres always a way | 08:24 |
| Ben64 | my x server doesnt mess up nearly as often as it did 5 years ago though | 08:24 |
| dr_willis | in linux. | 08:24 |
| Ben64 | and if it does, i have my phone to ssh from | 08:25 |
| dr_willis | android ssh is handy. | 08:25 |
| urfr332g0 | reisub | 08:25 |
| Ben64 | its the main reason i got a smartphone | 08:25 |
| goathouse774| | Android ssh allows you to what, exactly? | 08:26 |
| damo22 | alt sysrq r e i s u b | 08:26 |
| dr_willis | ssh into a ssh server | 08:27 |
| damo22 | does a clean shutdown | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | !ssh | 08:27 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 08:27 |
| Z3Rt | http://goo.gl/De1KS | 08:28 |
| urfr332g0 | damo22, that is the reboot a shutdown is reisuo | 08:28 |
| damo22 | too bad i dont have sysrq key | 08:28 |
| urfr332g0 | prtsc | 08:28 |
| damo22 | nope | 08:28 |
| damo22 | im on a macbook | 08:28 |
| === crash is now known as Guest70179 | ||
| Guest70179 | i have unbuntu 11.10 and i tried to install updates but it will not allow me to do so if gives me an error message saying unable to connect to internet. can anyone help me? | 08:29 |
| knoppies | I am having problems with direct rendering (using ATI HD5470 on ubuntu10.10), so I downloaded the new driver from the amd website and installed it, but "glxinfo | grep direct" still states "LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set" which I googled and a forum post suggested "unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT" which works for my current terminal only, and does not work for wine. Can you help me to permenantly remove the environment variable "unset LIBGL_AL | 08:31 |
| knoppies | WAYS_INDIRECT" for all terminal sessions (including programs run with wine). I have plenty more info, but I dont want to flood the channel. | 08:31 |
| knoppies | reading that back to myself makes my IQ sound so low. :( Sorry if I over-compressed it. | 08:32 |
| knoppies | Guest70179, are you connecting to this IRC channel using the machine in question? | 08:33 |
| Guest70179 | yes i am | 08:33 |
| knoppies | Guest70179, are you using apt-get or synaptic (or some other package manager?) | 08:33 |
| Guest70179 | you will have to excuse me i am a n00b, i believe its synaptic | 08:35 |
| goathouse774 | is it safe to install apps from the web vs. the software center? | 08:35 |
| goathouse774 | for instance, I have the chrome installer downloaded, but should I run it or use Chromium? | 08:36 |
| knoppies | goathouse774, safe as in "Will it kill my computer because of some bug" or safe as in "Will there be a virus somehow embedded/associated with the software" | 08:36 |
| knoppies | goathouse774, I use Chromium Im not sure what chrome offers that chromium doesnt. Maybe flash?? I have installed both on the same machine before, and used both Simultaneously, its up to you. | 08:37 |
| goathouse774 | safe as in "I've sort of come to understand that the libraries in linux distros are arranged in such a way as to make apps sometimes not play nice" | 08:37 |
| knoppies | Guest70179, synaptic is the GUI in GNOME. Open up a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update" (you might have to close Synaptic first) | 08:37 |
| goathouse774 | or is that more a developer thing than a user thing? | 08:38 |
| overclucker | goathouse774: if you get the package from a trustworthy source, then you should be fine | 08:38 |
| knoppies | goathouse774, I have noticed similar things, but more so when I am installing outdated software which wants outdated/obsolete libraries. | 08:38 |
| goathouse774 | so, for example, I can safely go find the latest Firefox for linux and install it safely without concern? | 08:39 |
| knoppies | goathouse774, Probably, I dont use firefox so much anymore. | 08:39 |
| goathouse774 | what do you use? | 08:39 |
| tensorpudding | linux has some things which make such behaviors difficult | 08:39 |
| knoppies | Chromium (and Chrome) | 08:39 |
| plusEV | y0 I had a little scuare on my taskbar that i could choose what virtual monitor to go to. I managed to unpin that icon and now I cant find it. How do I put that back there? using pinguy os 11.04.1 | 08:40 |
| goathouse774 | so how would one know if a program has or could soon have outdated libraries? that sounds very high-maintenaince. | 08:40 |
| tensorpudding | what do you mean "has outdated libraries" | 08:40 |
| plusEV | square even. | 08:40 |
| === max is now known as Visionaire | ||
| tensorpudding | is pinguy a supported derivative | 08:41 |
| metaspike | goathouse774, the program will complain in stdin (terminal) or wont work at all if the libraries are outdated, assuming the program maintainer knows what they're doing. | 08:41 |
| tensorpudding | goathouse774, there's a tool called ldd, on the terminal, which searches the library path and will tell you what file corresponds to every dynamic library that the app is linked to | 08:41 |
| goathouse774 | doesn't linux have a more regulated mass-update scheme that serves as one of it's main distinctions from windows? | 08:42 |
| tensorpudding | goathouse774, if there's a hole where no file is assigned, the program will not start | 08:42 |
| tensorpudding | goathouse774, each distribution updates its software at a different rate, to different versions | 08:42 |
| tensorpudding | goathouse774, it's a madhouse | 08:42 |
| knoppies | metaspike, when I said "outdated libraries" I meant that the software depends on such libraries. goathouse774 anything from new versions of the libraries to a release date that is set a few years ago. Another big clue is if you can no longer get the libraries from ubuntu's default repositories. | 08:42 |
| === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo | ||
| tensorpudding | goathouse774, instead of getting the latest version from mozilla it's much simpler to use the package included in your distribution | 08:43 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| goathouse774 | well that brings me back to chrome. it's not included in my distribution so am I tempting fate here by branching out of my distribution and installing it? | 08:44 |
| tensorpudding | it's not just about outdated libraries, it's about ABI changes | 08:44 |
| zenon | Morning, I'm on ubuntu 11.10, installed w3af & saved over one of the defult scans properties & details, I uninstalled then reinstalled to fix, after shutdown its reverted back, how would I restore the app? | 08:44 |
| raatiniemi | anybody know of a good touchscreen calibration tool? :) | 08:44 |
| knoppies | goathouse774, yes, ubuntu based derivatives have a 'mass-update' scheme, but if a certain library or piece of software was abandoned 6 years ago it can be a pain to get it to work on the latest distribution. Not all linux uses a 'mass-update' schedule. | 08:44 |
| knoppies | goathouse774, with chrome not really, but I think that has something to do with the fact that google use some sort of ubuntu derivative inhouse (last I heard) | 08:45 |
| goathouse774 | so it's more of a "oh this particular software is too old and wont work" than a "oh this particular software is too old and I just fried my computer by installing it"? | 08:45 |
| zenon | ah I'll just reinstall & save the profile again. | 08:45 |
| metaspike | gnomeradio is defaulting to /dev/video0 - when try to switch to /dev/radio0 - it crashes. anyideas? :p | 08:45 |
| stanman246 | hi, i want to install the latest ubuntu and need to make a backup. Is it enough to just copy my /home/user and it's hidden files? | 08:46 |
| knoppies | goathouse774, most of the time, but sometimes it causes havoc with some config file which might 'fry' (in the software sense) your computer. | 08:46 |
| Myrtti | raatiniemi: xinput-calibrator | 08:46 |
| stanman246 | can i then put back thunderbird's and firefox' profiles? | 08:47 |
| tensorpudding | it'd all be fixed if people statically-compiled everything | 08:47 |
| tensorpudding | maybe in the future that will actually happen | 08:47 |
| metaspike | stanman246, that would copy your user profile, documents and its settings. assuming nothing else has changed, this is fine. | 08:47 |
| knoppies | stanman246, yes, provided that you havn't saved anything outside of your HOME folder. | 08:47 |
| stanman246 | thanks, so i would be really really safe if i'd clonezilla-ed the entire disk to a usb image AND manual copy my home dir (include hiddens). | 08:49 |
| Israfel | What's the default VNC servre with Ubuntu? | 08:49 |
| metaspike | stanman246, of course. | 08:49 |
| stanman246 | the copy of the home dir is for easy recovering the profiles | 08:49 |
| raatiniemi | Myrtti, thanks, ive tried it and it seem to work but when swapping axes, the cursor starts to randomly jump to the side. | 08:50 |
| stanman246 | thanks! will do and hope I'm running the latest ubuntu soon ;-) | 08:50 |
| knoppies | I am having issues with direct rendering. direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set). If I use "unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT" then I get direct rendering in that terminal, but not if I use wine. Does anybody know how to prevent LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT? | 08:50 |
| knoppies | oh, if I run it with sudo, then I get Direct rendering, so LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT is only set on my user. | 08:51 |

| nicknick | Hey guys. I have a question. I just installed ubuntu and I have installed jGRASP also. I would like it to quit popping up the dialog box which indicates that the bash script to launch it is executable and asks if I want to run it or view it etc. How can I make it where, just with this particular file, it always just executes without any dialog? | 08:53 |
| jasonmsp | hey all. I just saved my terminal layout with the gnome-terminal --save-config=FILE command. Is there any documentation that I can find to figure out how to run commands when those windows open? | 08:54 |
| metaspike | goathouse774, was that a suuport question or just another lame linux vs windows statement? v_v | 08:54 |
| opalepatrick | thanks metaspike - I have just had enough of the tp-link dongle I bought and lack of decent driver. My fault should have checked it first | 08:55 |
| metaspike | opalepatrick, ive had good success with wifi gear that uses the realtek chipsets eh, | 08:55 |
| goathouse774 | well, I think it'd be natural to compare when switching... | 08:55 |
| nicknick | Anyone ? Anyone? | 08:56 |
| mateusz | siemka | 08:56 |
| nicknick | This is really starting to grind my gears that I have to answer the same question the same way everytime I want to run this script. | 08:56 |
| mateusz | hi | 08:56 |
| goathouse774 | I'm just wondering if maybe I did something wrong, or should try lubuntu or defrag my harddrive or some such thing. | 08:56 |
| kripz | i want to give a friend a pc with ubuntu, i want to install it and then somehow still present the screen to select region, keyboard, username etc on first boot. how can i do this? | 08:56 |
| mateusz | Poland | 08:56 |
| metaspike | nicknick, right click it? look for autorun properties? i have no idea! i dont use gnome sorry. | 08:57 |
| goathouse774 | don't get me wrong, I'm very excited to be up and running with linux | 08:57 |
| knoppies | goathouse774, unless your data is in an NTFS partition, I am not sure degraging is relevant. You can try install lxde on your current system, rather than installing lubuntu from scratch. | 08:57 |
| knoppies | defragging, sorry. | 08:58 |
| metaspike | kripz, you cant. but you can reconfigure those things with the standard tools, sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales, sudo adduser etc. | 08:58 |
| nicknick | metaspike: It's all good! I just thought there would probably be someone in here who had had the same issue and already figured it out | 08:58 |
| metaspike | nicknick, maybe if you opened a terminal, and made it executable. sudo chmod +x ./whatever - then it'll stop buggin you | 08:59 |
| goathouse774 | I'll just give it some more time. | 09:00 |
| nicknick | metaspike I had to give it +x in order for it to be executable in the first place. I would think that there would be some way to repress that. probably through a command? I would search it on the net, but I can't think of a concise way to word a search for that | 09:01 |

| goathouse774 | Is that bad? | 09:06 |

| opalepatrick | cheers for that metaspike - researching now :-) | 09:07 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774: you can get chrome from software center with a ppa | 09:07 |

| knoppies | goathouse774, synaptic can normally do that. | 09:19 |
| doda- | goathouse774: you search for it in software center | 09:19 |
| aceperry | doda: I get this: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/acroread/acroread_9.4.7-1oneiric1_amd64.deb | 09:19 |

| ddddddddddd | What is the best linux version for beginners? Mint or Ubuntu???? | 09:25 |
| u890 | ddddddd, I recommend Ubuntu | 09:25 |
| aceperry | doda: I'm in the middle of downloading packages on synaptic, will get back if/when it fails | 09:25 |
| doda- | goathouse774: well you can remove apps from the software center too, just search for the app that you like to install/uninstall | 09:25 |
| juzten | I use ubuntu | 09:25 |
| llutz_ | pv73: so it's already enabled | 09:25 |
| u890 | it is more widely used than Mint | 09:25 |
| ddddddddddd | u890 WHY? | 09:25 |
| ddddddddddd | HMMMM | 09:26 |
| Guest37030 | how do i get my flash player to work | 09:26 |
| u890 | if you hvae any questions then you'll get more replies from Ubuntu users | 09:26 |
| goathouse774 | but chrome isn't in the software center. | 09:26 |
| Ben64 | !flash | Guest37030 | 09:26 |
| ubottu | Guest37030: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 09:26 |
| goathouse774 | chromium is, right? | 09:26 |
| pv73 | llutz_: If it is enabled, it should show up in the system monitor... correct? | 09:26 |
| aceperry | I heard Mint has all of the easy stuff installed already | 09:26 |
| u890 | Ubuntu is very user friendly | 09:26 |
| llutz_ | pv73: no idea | 09:26 |
| aceperry | You can find chrome browser from google | 09:26 |
| u890 | ace .., so has Ubuntu | 09:26 |
| Guest37030 | its installed beno it just wont play anything | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774: you should be able to uninstall chrome from the .deb package you used to install it | 09:27 |
| doda- | Israfel: well with ssh you can start whatever vnc servers you like, most are console line with no gui, vino on the other hand is integrated in gnome | 09:27 |
| goathouse774 | I only see chromium when I search software center for "chrome." | 09:27 |
| goathouse774 | oh the download? | 09:27 |
| aceperry | u890, it's been awhile, but I heard Mint had all of the codices that are used for playing all of the formats, without the nag messages | 09:27 |
| pv73 | llutz_: I had seen 8 individual entries in the system monitor in my earlier install. I am stumped. | 09:27 |
| Guest37030 | ben64ubottu it installed but will not play | 09:27 |
| llutz_ | pv73: sry i don't know what systemmonitor is/shows/does. | 09:28 |
| aceperry | goat: just go to google for the latest stable/beta/dev versions of chrome | 09:28 |
| u890 | ace: maybe, I don't know Mint so well, but in Ubuntu it's really easy to install them, even a child can do it | 09:28 |
| pv73 | llutz_:Oh. | 09:29 |
| goathouse774 | I was told I shouldn't download chrome from the web | 09:29 |
| juzten | Apt-get | 09:29 |
| doda- | goathouse774: chromium is the name of the entry in internet apps, right ? | 09:29 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774: use this for chrome http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/8 | 09:29 |
| aceperry | u890: I agree, ubuntu is easy, I've been told Mint is even easier, especially well suited for beginners, I don't use Mint though | 09:29 |
| doda- | if it is so then you have chromium installed | 09:30 |
| goathouse774 | no it's "google chrome" in internet apps menu | 09:30 |
| The_Last_Templar | hey i have Ubuntu 9.10 and i can't install it on my computer?? | 09:30 |
| overclucker | goathouse774: at least try chromium first. if you don't like it, you can switch. | 09:30 |
| aceperry | goat: best source for chrome browser is DIRECTLY from google | 09:30 |
| Ben64 | aceperry: that isn't true | 09:30 |
| aceperry | ben: what isn't true? | 09:30 |
| Ben64 | shouldn't download apps from websites | 09:30 |
| pv73 | llutz_: htop shows only 4 processors. | 09:31 |
| u890 | ace: another argument for Ubuntu is that it has more tutorials in the internet than any other linux distrbutions | 09:31 |
| doda- | aceperry: +1 | 09:31 |
| doda- | Ben64: why not ? | 09:31 |
| pv73 | llutz_: if ht was enabled, I think it should show 8 (4x2). | 09:31 |
| aceperry | ben, I think chrome from google is the way to go | 09:31 |
| Ben64 | because ubuntu works much better with apt than manually installing things | 09:31 |
| pv73 | llutz_: it shows 8 cpus in my win install :( | 09:32 |
| aceperry | ben: google's chrome browser is distributed as a deb file | 09:32 |
| doda- | chrome has its own repo | 09:32 |
| Ben64 | right, but doesn't auto update and can conflict with things in the software center | 09:32 |
| doda- | that is constantly updated | 09:32 |
| doda- | lol | 09:32 |
| Ben64 | i pasted the link to google's ppa | 09:32 |
| Ben64 | which is the best way to get it | 09:32 |
| doda- | i just upgraded it today | 09:32 |
| aceperry | ben: it doesn't conflict with anything | 09:32 |
| Ben64 | aceperry: it can | 09:33 |
| doda- | http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ | 09:33 |
| doda- | this is the repo | 09:33 |
| aceperry | ben: what does it conflict with? I've never had any probs | 09:33 |
| Ben64 | aceperry: can != is | 09:33 |
| pv73 | llutz_: anyway, thanks for your help. | 09:34 |
| aceperry | ben: what? | 09:34 |
| Ben64 | aceperry: "can conflict" is not the same as "does conflict" | 09:34 |
| aceperry | ben: that applies to all deb files, including ones from ubuntu | 09:34 |
| aceperry | so what's up with ubuntu repos? At first it was failing, now it's slow as hell | 09:35 |
| satyanash | aceperry, they are localised to the country. | 09:36 |
| goathouse774 | I can't seem to uninstall chrome even if I wanted to | 09:36 |
| satyanash | aceperry, I think. | 09:36 |
| goathouse774 | The software center is stuck loading after I opened the chrome installer | 09:36 |
| aceperry | satyanash: there are repos in different countries, I only tried two, and they were slow | 09:37 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774: you can't have two things accessing package stuff at the same time | 09:37 |
| goathouse774 | chrome is closed... | 09:37 |
| heizmann | Hi, all. I'm searching to install manually a lucid lynx, bypassing chroot (under virtualbox). My reason is to understand "how it works" exactly. More specifically, I wish know how commands are invoked during a classical install, bypassing an install CD (like: an alternate ubuntu CD). Under other distros, we can find lots of tutorials about this topic, but I cannot find a clear tutorial on the web which explains clearly how to do. :) | 09:37 |
| heizmann | thanks for advance for some helps or links ^^' | 09:37 |
| heizmann | By starting point: a custom liveCD (launch from VertualBox :) ) | 09:38 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774: i mean software center and the chrome installer | 09:39 |
| goathouse774 | when I open the installer the software center takes over automatically | 09:39 |
| goathouse774 | anyway, I closed it and tried again and it worked | 09:40 |
| goathouse774 | however, I only have the option to "reinstall". | 09:40 |
| Ben64 | oh.. | 09:40 |
| aceperry | goat: reinstall means that it's already installed | 09:40 |
| aceperry | goat: what are you trying to do? | 09:41 |
| goathouse774 | I'm trying to uninstall it to be safe | 09:41 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774: try to remove it from command line | 09:41 |
| aceperry | goat: then uninstall it, what's the prob? | 09:41 |
| goathouse774 | I don't know command line at all yet | 09:41 |
| goathouse774 | how do you uninstall programs in xubuntu | 09:41 |
| aceperry | goat: do you know how to uninstall with synaptic? | 09:41 |
| goathouse774 | It's a little overwhelming | 09:42 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774: open a terminal, and type "dpkg --get-selections | grep -i chrome" | 09:42 |
| aceperry | goat: what package manager are you using? Synaptic? | 09:42 |
| goathouse774 | yes | 09:42 |
| aceperry | goat: click on the package to highlight it, right click on the green box, and select Mark for removal, or mark for complete removal | 09:44 |
| goathouse774 | is the package one thing or several entries? | 09:44 |
| Ben64 | one | 09:44 |
| aceperry | goat: what package are you talking about, usually it's one line per package | 09:45 |
| goathouse774 | there are like a thousand packages in there | 09:45 |
| aceperry | goat: yea, there's lots of packages. If you want to remove one package, highlight one package and select remove (that one package). Does that make sense? | 09:46 |
| linocisco | can I get my username@ubuntu.com email account using ubuntu server version? | 09:46 |
| tensorpudding | uninstalling is easy for single packages | 09:46 |
| aBound | Hmm, I'm updating my Ubuntu machine and flash seems to either continuously download itself or it's going through an endless loop. | 09:47 |
| goathouse774 | well yeah, I found it now, but in my defense when I searched for "chrome" the results centered on something pretty far away on the list so I had to scroll up | 09:47 |
| aceperry | goat: unless you have the official google repo as one of your sources, you won't find chrome in your list, only something like chromium | 09:48 |
| goathouse774 | I downloaded it from google.com | 09:48 |
| goathouse774 | and it showed up as chrome | 09:49 |
| aceperry | goat: what did you download? and what is the problem? | 09:49 |
| Lint | goathouse774, see the package content to guess where the executable could be | 09:49 |
| goathouse774 | I downloaded chrome like I always have in windows. then I was informed that I shouldn't install programs from the web, so I want to delete it. | 09:49 |
| goathouse774 | I found it. It says chrome. | 09:50 |
| goathouse774 | Should I mark it for removal or "complete" removal? | 09:50 |
| Ben64 | complete | 09:50 |
| aceperry | goat: if you didn't install it, then you just delete it. If it is the official chrome browser from google, then it is ok to install | 09:50 |
| goathouse774 | I did install it | 09:50 |
| goathouse774 | I downloaded it, installed it, and now I want to uninstall it. | 09:51 |
| aceperry | goat: complete removal will get rid of your bookmarks/history etc. But the official google downloads are good. | 09:51 |
| aceperry | goat: uninstall with synaptic then, just like I said earlier | 09:52 |
| goathouse774 | yes I will, but in my defense when I searched for chrome earlier like you said the results centered very far from chrome, which is why I was hung up there for a minute. | 09:53 |
| aceperry | goat:??? | 09:53 |
| goathouse774 | in synaptic, I did a search, because there are too many packages to scroll through... | 09:53 |
| goathouse774 | and the search didn't really work right. it's no big deal. | 09:54 |
| goathouse774 | I found it now. | 09:54 |
| aceperry | goat: ok, just fyi, my opinion is that the best source for google's chrome on ubuntu/debian is from google itself, always the latest or best stable packages | 09:54 |
| Squarism | where can one find | 09:55 |
| goathouse774 | that's a problem for me, because I'm a noob and I'm getting diametrically opposed instructions on this point | 09:55 |
| Ben64 | goathouse774: seriously, its best to add google's repository so chrome shows up in software center, you get updates and everything integrates all nice and pretty | 09:56 |
| Squarism | where can one find debian packages for old mysql versions fur current ubuntu (11.10 64bit) versions? | 09:56 |
| aceperry | goat: usually the official repos are best, and safest, but there are exceptions like google's chrome | 09:56 |
| orated | Hello! I'm getting error while update packages - http://imagebin.org/199194 . sources.list - http://paste.ubuntu.com/844148/. How can I fix it please? | 09:56 |
| goathouse774 | alright guys, lol... | 09:57 |
| aceperry | orated: I was getting those errors too, I think there's a problem with the ubuntu repos | 09:58 |

| normod | hey, I'm doing a amd64 PXE install and I get an error about a corrupted Package file | 10:07 |
| normod | I googled it and touching it makes the installer not complain | 10:07 |
| terminhell | it likes to be touched | 10:07 |
| normod | my question is, should I support a bug report? | 10:08 |
| terminhell | support away | 10:08 |
| ikonia | normod: what does touching do ? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | normod: how does it effect the file ? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | that is the question, is it putting permisssions/execute etc on it | 10:08 |
| ikonia | touching a file won't make it "non-corrupt"£ | 10:09 |
| normod | no the installer bombs when it tries to ugzip Packages.gz wich is a zero length file | 10:09 |
| ikonia | normod: right, so touching that file won't change it's size | 10:09 |
| ikonia | normod: it won't fill it with the correct data | 10:10 |
| normod | yeah I know the file is fine but it shouldn't be there | 10:10 |
| ikonia | normod: what do you mean it shouldn't be there ? | 10:11 |
| normod | the netinstall has to restricted packages for amd64 | 10:11 |
| normod | but there is a package file there anyway and it breaks the installer | 10:11 |
| ikonia | normod: sorry, could you explain that again please, I'm not following | 10:11 |
| normod | yes I'm not very good at this explining thing... | 10:12 |
| normod | I'll start over, the installer stops an complains that /restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.gz is corrupt | 10:13 |
| ikonia | normod: ok - first things first, where did you get this CD ? | 10:13 |
| normod | it's not, it unzips fine but is a zero lenght file and that's not something the installer likes | 10:13 |

| ikonia | normod: which CD are you using, the netboot ? | 10:14 |
| RawProduce | what's the deal? | 10:14 |
| ikonia | RawProduce: bad edid info from sloppy monitors ? | 10:15 |
| normod | ikonia: the amd64 netboot for oneiric | 10:15 |
| ikonia | normod: ok | 10:15 |
| RawProduce | ikonia: I tried getting past that by manually specifying the resolution in xorg.conf | 10:15 |
| RawProduce | think it's worth going for the OSS drivers instead? | 10:15 |
| ikonia | normod: so thats the mini.iso (just to confirm the file) | 10:15 |
| ikonia | RawProduce: not really | 10:15 |
| RawProduce | hm, what options do I have, in that case? | 10:16 |
| normod | ikonia: no the tar.gz, sorry | 10:16 |
| ikonia | RawProduce: configure it properly in the xorg.conf, try using xrand to set it, make sure you are using the propritary nvidia modules, and that they are being loaded | 10:16 |
| ikonia | normod: no problem, that's why I'm clarifying | 10:16 |
| RawProduce | ikonia: nvidia drivers don't support xrandr :/ | 10:17 |
| ikonia | RawProduce: you can set a display mode with xrandr | 10:17 |
| ikonia | RawProduce: you can set a display mode with xrand | 10:17 |
| RawProduce | no, you can't with nvidia drivers | 10:17 |
| RawProduce | they don't provide the RandR extension for xorg | 10:17 |
| normod | ikonia: but the file I fixed in ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.is | 10:18 |
| ikonia | RawProduce: ok, I'll take your word on that | 10:18 |

| venky10 | Hi. When I downloaded VMWare player for linux, I got a "VMware-Player-4.0.2-591240.i386.txt" file which is a 126M file? How do I go about installing VMPlayer now? | 10:19 |
| Tm_T | txt? | 10:19 |
| jatt | vi | 10:19 |
| Ben64 | venky10: try "file VMware-Player-4.0.2-591240.i386.txt" on the command line and tell us the result | 10:19 |
| ikonia | normod: ok - so I'm looking at that directory structure now, what file is zero length | 10:20 |
| venky10 | yeah. I thought it was supposed to download .bundle, but it is .txt. Either way, I opened it through vi and it was a shell script for the top part of the file and then the bottom part was executable (vi prints junk) | 10:20 |
| jatt | !virtualbox | 10:20 |
| ubottu | Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures.

| venky10 | I tried "/bin/bash ./VMware-Player-4.0.2-591240.i386.txt " and it doesn't do anything. I get the command prompt back | 10:21 |
| Ben64 | venky10: try the command i said earlier | 10:21 |
| venky10 | no option mate.I have to use vmware. | 10:21 |
| ikonia | venky10: what is in the text file | 10:21 |
| jatt | pastebin the first few lines of the txt file | 10:21 |
| normod | ikonia: /dists/oneric/restricted/binary-amd64/Packages.gz unzips to zero lenght | 10:21 |
| jatt | and do | 10:21 |
| jatt | file ./VMware-Player-4.0.2-591240.i386.txt | 10:21 |
| ikonia | normod: that file system is not in the tar file | 10:22 |
| venky10 | Ben64: one sec | 10:23 |
| normod | ikonia: no I know, sorry! The iso with the file is ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso | 10:23 |
| normod | ikonia: the netboot works fine you got me confused | 10:24 |

| ikonia | venky10: to be honest, though if you are struggling at this level, I'd advise you against doing this | 10:28 |
| yana | hello #ubuntu | 10:29 |
| venky10 | ikonia: It is executable. And I've done it many times before | 10:29 |
| yana | how to change sidebar position in gnome ? | 10:29 |
| venky10 | I'm not sucha newb | 10:29 |
| imgrey | anybody alive ? | 10:30 |
| dr_willis | yes | 10:30 |
| venky10 | ikonia: I've installed player many times. But never have I downloaded a .txt file from the VMware site | 10:31 |
| ikonia | venky10: so why are you having a problem ? | 10:31 |
| imgrey | dr_willis, what was the name of that cr%p that appear on left side of my screen, like in MacOS ? | 10:31 |
| imgrey | I need to move it to bottom of the screen | 10:31 |
| Walther | imgrey: unity? | 10:31 |
| venky10 | ikonia: not sure man | 10:32 |
| imgrey | Walther, how to configure that ? | 10:32 |
| Walther | imgrey: wait 'til 12.04 | 10:32 |
| ikonia | venky10: what is the actual problem you are having ? | 10:32 |
| Walther | imgrey: they haven't yet implemented all the configuration options | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | its the launcher. its not like macos | 10:32 |
| Walther | imgrey: unity is so new, they first made it working and are now addind configuration options, replacing the hardcoded stuff | 10:32 |
| venky10 | ikonia: I downloaded the player and I got this huge text file (part shell script, part executeable). I can't run it with bash or anything. It doesn't run | 10:33 |
| ikonia | venky10: define "doesn't run" | 10:33 |
| dr_willis | there arw some move it down hacks mentioned at tge webupd8 blig site | 10:33 |
| Ben64 | venky10: fairly sure it would run if you tried | 10:33 |
| venky10 | ikonia: I get the prompt immediately back. doesn't print any echo stuff inside | 10:33 |
| RawProduce | solution to the nvidia drivers detecting the wrong resolution was to turn of DPMS for the malfunctioning monitor in xorg.conf, manually set the horizonal and vertical refresh rates and manually set the resolution | 10:34 |
| RawProduce | off* | 10:34 |
| ikonia | venky10: how are you running it ? | 10:34 |
| Ben64 | RawProduce: wow, nice. | 10:34 |
| venky10 | ikonia: tried many ways. /bin/sh ./VMware... ./VMware... /bin/bash ./VMware .... | 10:34 |
| === irenicus19 is now known as irenicus09 | ||
| ikonia | venky10: then contact the vmware support resources and explain their script is faulty | 10:35 |
| RawProduce | I think the root issue was like the guy from before said - it was sending the wrong identifier, maybe because it's going through a VGA->DVI dongle | 10:35 |
| venky10 | ikonia: I'd probably do that next. Just wanted to know if anyone else had seen it | 10:35 |
| Ben64 | venky10: i think it needs to be run sudo | 10:36 |
| ikonia | no, vmware works fine for me | 10:36 |
| ikonia | that would be a "given" for someone who has done this many times | 10:36 |
| Feldegast | venky10 you have set it to excecutable right? | 10:36 |
| Feldegast | and yes it needs sudo | 10:37 |
| venky10 | Ben64, Feldegast: I've tried sudo as well | 10:37 |
| venky10 | And it is executable | 10:37 |
| Ben64 | is it on a mount that is noexec | 10:37 |
| Feldegast | venky10 just covering the possible simple issues ;-) | 10:37 |
| llutz_ | Ben64: that wouldn't affect scripts | 10:37 |
| Ben64 | llutz: you sure? | 10:37 |
| llutz_ | Ben64: man mount | less -p noexec | 10:38 |
| venky10 | On another thought, I've seen VMware ship vmware-install.pl files before. Has it changed now to the bundle file? | 10:40 |
| Feldegast | venky10 yes, but they work the same way | 10:40 |
| Feldegast | same as the .sh files, not seen a .pl for vmware | 10:41 |

| infernal_ | Ben64, http://paste.ubuntu.com/844184/ | 10:49 |
| glebihan | !notunity | imgrey | 10:49 |
| ubottu | imgrey: 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 | 10:49 |
| Ben64 | hmm | 10:50 |
| infernal_ | Ben64, is that a problem? | 10:50 |
| dr_willis | imgrey: install whatever yiu want. or use that fallback mode | 10:50 |
| Ben64 | infernal_: no its fine, means something else is the problem | 10:50 |
| imgrey | glebihan, I have gnome-shell installed | 10:50 |
| Ben64 | infernal_: can you run gedit fine without sudo or root or anything | 10:51 |
| nahkaku | what is this | 10:51 |
| airtonix | imgrey: and so what's your real question | 10:51 |
| dr_willis | nahkaku: what is what? | 10:51 |
| infernal_ | Ben64, Yes, but i cant save anything in that case | 10:51 |

| FuZi0N | Hello | 10:52 |
| FuZi0N | Can someone please help me create a proxy server on ubuntu? | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | !proxy | 10:53 |
| ubottu | Several Ubuntu channels prohibit access from open proxies and other anonymous connections due to a high level of abuse. The supported ways to hide your IP address on freenode are to use !Tor or get a !cloak | 10:53 |
| glebihan | infernal_, does that error prevent gedit from working ? | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | wrond | 10:53 |

| tenX | dr_willis: greetz | 10:53 |
| FuZi0N | im not configure one in a client | 10:53 |
| glebihan | infernal_, don't worry about it, it's just a warning indicating that the root user doesn't have a recently used documents history | 10:54 |

| llutz_ | FuZi0N: http://www.squid-cache.org/Support/ read the docu then "sudo apt-get install squid" and configure it | 10:54 |
| FuZi0N | yes | 10:54 |
| dr_willis | infernal_: those were warnings, hiw are yiu running gedit | 10:54 |
| FuZi0N | i installed squid already | 10:54 |
| FuZi0N | is there any alternative? | 10:54 |
| llutz_ | FuZi0N: then do the 1st part | 10:54 |
| infernal_ | dr_willis, as a user | 10:54 |
| llutz_ | FuZi0N: an alternative to read documentation? no | 10:55 |
| FuZi0N | no | 10:55 |

| glebihan | infernal_, "set u the the log" ? | 10:56 |
| llutz_ | FuZi0N: sure, apt-cache search <whatever> but for all you have to learn how to configure it | 10:56 |
| glebihan | infernal_, oh, set up ? | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | gtk warnings are nit critical | 10:56 |
| infernal_ | glebihan, Sorry. Set up the log. | 10:56 |
| infernal_ | glebihan, Yes | 10:56 |
| airtonix | imgrey: you could try : http://www.webupd8.org/2011/12/cinnamon-gnome-shell-fork-with-gnome2.html | 10:56 |
| glebihan | infernal_, I don't think that's possible (though I'm not sure) | 10:56 |
| infernal_ | glebihan, well OK, i leave it for a free weekend :) Thanks again! | 10:57 |
| sundar | guys, i'd like to compile and install linux kernel to my 11.10. should i go for the linux-source package? | 10:57 |
| glebihan | infernal_, you're welcome | 10:57 |
| FuZi0N | privoxy isnt for a server is it? | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | !kernel | 10:58 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 10:58 |
| FuZi0N | i thought its used with tor... | 10:58 |
| dr_willis | i think tor recvomends an alternative to privoxy | 10:58 |
| shellcode28 | anybody had trouble changing to a higher resolution?? in 11.10 | 10:58 |

| Natherul | hey again all, im trying to (while root) to use telinit 3 and then im just moved to the login screen of ubuntu (need telinit 3 for nvidia install), any idea why or how to bypass this? | 11:46 |
| maurizio | How could I see from terminal which video driver I've installed on my laptop? | 11:47 |
| blackslik | scarleo thanks | 11:47 |
| quiescens | Natherul: unless you have changed them at some point, most runlevels are the same by default in ubuntu | 11:47 |
| kalimojo | hi. whenever my system updates i have to reinstall my wifi driver. cant get it to work this time :( | 11:48 |
| Natherul | quiescens: ok because the nvidia installer wants runlevel 3 and warns me of this, and if i dont use it the preinstall script fails | 11:48 |
| Natherul | quiescens: not really sure if i should continue when the preinstall script fails :P | 11:49 |
| Kingsy | whcih vnc server is best to use that is running before a user is logged in? | 11:50 |
| quiescens | Natherul: it likely wants X stopped, you can either reboot and add "text" to your boot options as you start or just stop your displaymanager service (which one you have will depend on your specific release) | 11:51 |
| shellcode28 | I have Ubuntu 11.10 on virtualbox i dont see the xorg.conf | 11:51 |
| shellcode28 | file | 11:51 |
| Kingsy | screw it I will just try x11vnc | 11:51 |
| Natherul | quiescens: thats why i started in recovery mode as i did not know how to stop displaymanager temporarily :P im a newb at linux still :P though in recov it fails with preinstall script | 11:52 |
| Kingsy | or is vino better? | 11:52 |

| SegF4ult | Ehm.. why does Unity kill itself once something like OpenBox is installed? | 11:53 |
| screwed | Can I login to ubuntu without running the .profile? My .profile runs into an infinite loop? | 11:53 |
| quiescens | Natherul: all that said, i find it dubious that any recent installer is really tripping up over ubuntu's style of runlevels, are you doing anything that could be considered particularly uncommon | 11:54 |
| quiescens | Natherul: like an out of date release, or older drivers or anything | 11:55 |
| Natherul | quiescens: no idea, just following the instructions on the nvidia page, and its the latest drivers for x64 linux | 11:55 |
| SegF4ult | I have a slight snag with Ubuntu at the moment, I installed openbox just to check it out, but now my normal 'Ubuntu' session doesn't work as intended.. all I have is metacity and not the entirety of the unity shell anymore | 11:56 |
| Natherul | quiescens: they are not for ubuntu in particular, the drivers from the ubuntu hardware thingie is too old for my graphics card sadly, thats why im trying with the ones from the nvidia homepage | 11:56 |
| screwed | Can I login to ubuntu without running the .profile? My .profile runs into an infinite loop | 11:57 |
| quiescens | Natherul: well if you are sure you need the ones from their site and the ones ubuntu offers to install are inadequate you can try i guess, but i can't really say for sure if it will work or not, hardware support issues are hit and miss unless you find someone with the same hardware that has done it | 11:57 |

| bibic682 | Ben64: I was hoping by now this latest version would have solved the resource issue. My 800 mhz android plays flash without a hiccup | 12:51 |

| bibic682 | Ben64: my only problem with ubuntu is the flash issue | 12:54 |
| unixbeard | When I log into "Gnome" (not gnome classic, etc) in Ubuntu 11.10, there's no sort of top menu or bottom menu, it's just a desktop. a 3d desktop, but just a desktop with no ability to launch anything. | 12:54 |

| unixbeard | I logged in under Gnome (not Gnome classic). I opened up terminal from the desktop and ran gnome-panel, and sure enough it did come up... so it's not running gnome-panel automatically?

| Yaaaaaa | ikonia: no idea then | 13:38 |
| ikonia | Yaaaaaa: sorry, I wasn't looking at your problem, I was just explaining how you may want to ask a question with real info rather than your personal views like "garbage flash" | 13:39 |
| Yaaaaaa | I knew it was a bad idea to come here | 13:39 |
| LukeNukem | where else are you gonna get support for ubuntu opearting systems | 13:40 |
| LukeNukem | its the same people thats here on the forums too. | 13:40 |
| ikonia | LukeNukem: what's the issue ? | 13:40 |
| ikonia | LukeNukem: we do support the ubuntu operating system here | 13:40 |
| Yaaaaaa | its probably a problem with flash anyway not ubuntu. | 13:40 |
| Yaaaaaa | maybe pulseaudio but that kinda sucks too. | 13:40 |
| LukeNukem | ikonia, i got a shakira cD(:D), its all wav files..playing is a bit slow(slow drive) so i want rip these music to my hdd in mp3 format | 13:40 |
| LukeNukem | any software to do that | 13:41 |
| LukeNukem | also ikonia that support bit was for Yaaaaaa | 13:41 |
| ikonia | LukeNukem: then Yaaaaaa should ask a question clearly if he wants support, | 13:41 |
| Yaaaaaa | I did ask a question | 13:41 |
| ikonia | LukeNukem: there are tons of audio extracting software, | 13:41 |
| Yaaaaaa | you just took offense to my personal opinion | 13:41 |
| ikonia | Yaaaaaa: not at all, I think flash is terrible also | 13:41 |

| mun | does anyone know how to set compiz to be the default in gnome 3 fallback under 11.10? | 13:42 |
| LukeNukem | i agree flash is terrible | 13:42 |
| Yaaaaaa | you can rip to .flac which is sort-of like a wav (same quailty) but smaller files | 13:42 |
| ikonia | LukeNukem: also if you open the package manager and search for "ripping" or "ripper" you'll find a few more options | 13:42 |
| LukeNukem | but its also a great addition. | 13:42 |
| LukeNukem | they should avoid using it for websites(lot of exploits) | 13:42 |
| LukeNukem | and use html5 players. | 13:42 |
| ikonia | LukeNukem: does that answer your question ok ? | 13:43 |
| ikonia | LukeNukem: there is also info on https://help.ubuntu.com on how to do common tasks | 13:43 |

| Wouter[nl] | mlc: And then ? The rest of the system works fine, i was hoping to not have to reinstall the os again. | 14:03 |
| Infernal | ikonia, The one found on ubuntu 11.10 "Disk utility" | 14:03 |
| ikonia | Infernal: that's not a bench marking utility is it ? | 14:03 |
| Infernal | ikonia, No. Its just a general purpose disk utility that comes packed with the OS. | 14:04 |
| ikonia | Infernal: ok, so I asked you what bench marking tool you are using | 14:04 |
| Infernal | ikonia, You think it might be a software issue? | 14:04 |
| mlc | Wouter[nl]: start a rescue shell and make this command: update-grub or update-grub2 | 14:04 |

| ikonia | Infernal: what benchmarking software are you using | 14:05 |
| Infernal | ikonia, Sorry, give me a sec. | 14:05 |
| Infernal | ikonia, "Disk Utility" | 14:06 |
| ikonia | Infernal: that is NOT bench marking | 14:06 |
| Yaaaaaa | ikonia: it does benchmarking also | 14:06 |
| ikonia | Infernal: Infernal there is some soft of "info" tools in it | 14:06 |
| ikonia | Infernal: are you sure you are running the tool against /dev/sdb ? | 14:06 |
| pros977 | ikonia: I didn't mean to sound snyde, but I didn't appreciate the 'don't ask simple questions' response. fyi | 14:07 |
| Infernal | ikonia, it has benchmarking capabilities | 14:07 |
| Infernal | ikonia, Yes, i selected the proper drive and using the benchmark functionality, thou it fails. | 14:07 |
| ikonia | pros977: if you know well enough how to enable a root account you should be able to do basic things, me informing you (who I have no idea of your abilities at this time) that the root account is locked is totally reasonable | 14:07 |
| ikonia | pros977: if you don't want to be told not to ask simple questions, then don't complain that someone is giving you simple warnings about not running the root account unlocked | 14:08 |
| Infernal | ikonia, Wait, why is of importance that its against /dev/sdb ? | 14:08 |
| ikonia | Infernal: because that is your usb disk | 14:08 |
| ikonia | Infernal: /dev/sda is your internal hard disk | 14:08 |

| arand | Wargasm: I guess you'd use update-rc.d | 14:12 |

| Wargasm | arand: how do I use that? | 14:14 |
| Wargasm | arand: nm I got it, thanks | 14:15 |
| arand | Wargasm: Something like "sudo update-rc.d tor disable" read "man update-rc.d" for full usage | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Infernal: /dev/sda1 is your INTERNAL disk | 14:15 |
| ikonia | Infernal: I've told you /dev/sdb is your flash drive | 14:16 |
| Wargasm | arand: it was update-rc.d -f tor remove | 14:16 |
| Wargasm | is there a way to see whats starting up? | 14:16 |
| Infernal | ikonia, Sorry. found it. | 14:17 |
| arand | Wargasm: Well, you can either remove or disable it, I guess it's hard to start it post-boot if it's removed. | 14:17 |
| Wargasm | eh, its ok... I actually don't even know how it got there | 14:19 |
| Wargasm | I don't like things running unless I run them myself | 14:20 |
| Infernal | ikonia, what do i need to do with it? | 14:20 |
| arand | Wargasm: YOu could always check why using "aptitude why tor" (provided you have tor installed) | 14:20 |

| Wargasm | arand: only one way to know... I'm going to test it out | 14:27 |
| parana | guys i have a problem, when i start my computer i cant see devices connected to usb. Even though "modprobe g_ether" or "modprobe g_zero" or "modprobe usbserial" and more.. But after plug out and plug in usb device, i can see them.. What is problem? | 14:27 |
| Wargasm | arand: it explains an error I was getting with tor before... it kept saying tor was already running... but thats before I knew about the killall command | 14:28 |
| Justus | hi, I got the following setup in mind: local imap server on my laptop, thunderbird to access it, now I want to fetch mails automatically from several pop3 accounts, any tips on what server would be suited best and possible howtos? | 14:29 |
| Wargasm | arand: it works fine, so it looks like this was a different standalone process | 14:31 |
| dvhh | Justus : something like this ? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/central-home-mail-server-fetching-pop3-delivering-via-imap-with-linux-203458/ | 14:32 |

| bazhang | Carmivore, hi | 14:36 |
| mikeman76 | hey, xubuntu noob here, I have a ati driver problem. I have a acer netbook (aspire one) that has mobility HD4200. The propietory drivers wont install and I am stuck at 1024x600 and I need native res on my tv. Is there an easy fix? like an updated deb package? | 14:37 |
| Infernal | ikonia, I bought it 3 days ago. I want to do a read/write benchmark so i can see if its faulty. It reads from 40-80, but if i write to it starts at 80 and by the end of the file transfers its at 5mb/s. | 14:37 |
| mikeman76 | sorry the native res is 1920x1080 and its hooked through hdmi | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Infernal: saying the same thing over and over isn't helping | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Infernal: I %100 understand you want to bench mark the disk, I fully understand that | 14:38 |
| Infernal | ikonia, Well thats it. The native app is not cutting it. I found way of benchmarking via terminal. dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.data bs=1k count=128k | 14:40 |
| kalimojo | hi. whenever my system updates i have to reinstall my wifi driver. cant get it to work this time :( | 14:40 |
| ikonia | Infernal: that isn't testing it !!!!! | 14:40 |
| ikonia | Infernal: /tmp is your INTERNAL DISK !! | 14:40 |
| ikonia | Infernal: how hard is this to grasp, you need to run the disk utility tool against the device /dev/sdb | 14:41 |
| DinoMuffin | do not run dd on /dev/sdb | 14:41 |
| DinoMuffin | if anything else | 14:42 |
| kalimojo | ikonia : what is the disk utility tool ? | 14:42 |
| serega_by | Hi all | 14:42 |
| Infernal | ikonia, It seems it's working both ways. I told you before. I done it. And it gives me the error i pasted before. | 14:42 |
| OerHeks | i do readtest with "sudo hdparm -t /dev/sdb" | 14:43 |
| quiescens | mm, dd to /tmp would give me some fun numbers i expect | 14:43 |
| bazhang | !give me a test | 14:43 |
| ubottu | Oh no, I won't, I'm not like some of those nasty scripts' users! | 14:43 |
| ikonia | Infernal: /tmp is NOT your usb flash disk | 14:43 |
| ikonia | Infernal: that test is doing nothing | 14:43 |
| serega_by | Why bluetooth motorola does not work in ubuntu ? | 14:43 |
| ikonia | Infernal: you are running that test against your internal disk | 14:44 |
| Infernal | ikonia, I understood that. I didnt understand the terminal command, true. But if you are talking about "Disk Utility" when you say you need to run it against /dev/sdb, i have. | 14:44 |
| serega_by | I have Notebook HP pavillion with built-in bluetooth | 14:45 |
| Infernal | ikonia, Sorry my punctuation was a mess there. | 14:45 |
| ikonia | Infernal: don't worry about punctuation | 14:46 |

| boson | Hi there...i'm pretty much new to ubuntu 11.10. installed it 3 days ago, using all of my HDD since there were no important files or anything left. now i also want to reinstall windows 7 as a dualboot system but unfortunately i cant create a second partition with "gparted" or "KDE partitionmanager". gparted tells me i cant unmount my HDD and KDE tells me i dont have root-rights. didn't find any information in the forums/wiki. somebody here | 14:46 |
| boson | that can help me ? | 14:46 |
| Lint | boson, use livecd | 14:47 |
| bazhang | boson, booted from livecd? | 14:47 |
| Wargasm | crap, didn't work | 14:47 |
| bazhang | boson, or are you trying to do this with a mounted filesystem | 14:47 |
| boson | yea i read that...but...seriously i dont have a cd that i can burn knoppix on | 14:47 |
| boson | well i want to unmount it | 14:48 |
| Logos01 | Anyone here familiar with how CentrifyDC affects /var/log/lastlog? | 14:48 |
| Lint | boson, and ubuntu cd? | 14:48 |
| boson | cant i just create a "livecd"-usb ? | 14:48 |
| bazhang | Logos01, installed from where | 14:48 |
| Logos01 | I'm having an issue with it claiming it's 407GB in length (and df -h / 'reading' that.) | 14:48 |
| boson | because i have the ubuntu bootable usbstick | 14:48 |
| Logos01 | bazhang: Ubuntu repo. | 14:48 |
| bibic682 | went from 11.10 to 10.10.....comfort zone | 14:48 |
| Logos01 | Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 | 14:49 |
| bazhang | Logos01, which repo | 14:49 |
| Logos01 | bazhang: Either universe or multiverse. Whichever it lives in. I forget which. | 14:51 |
| bazhang | !info centrifydc | 14:51 |
| ubottu | Package centrifydc does not exist in oneiric | 14:51 |
| kpas_ | boson, Have thought about installing Win7 first then installing U | 14:51 |
| boson | i thought about that....but i think that would be a bit unprofessional :) | 14:51 |
| sskalnik | can anyone look at a makefile and tell me where I borked it up? I get a good compile for "all", but not if I just use "modules" - even though the latter is called by the former | 14:51 |
| Lint | boson, and when you boot from usb stick... | 14:51 |
| kpas_ | boson, why would that be | 14:52 |
| Logos01 | ii centrifydc 4.4.3-464-0ubuntu0 Centrify Express | 14:52 |
| Logos01 | bazhang: It's an ubuntu package. | 14:52 |

| dvhh | boson : http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livehd.php | 14:53 |
| Logos01 | carpediembaby: As a work-around, you can use the "http_proxy" environment variable when running apt via CLI. | 14:53 |
| boson | well i guess that would be an easy way but since i already have ubuntu...i thought it cant be that hard to make anoter parition | 14:53 |
| bazhang | Logos01, its in partner repo | 14:53 |
| Logos01 | carpediembaby: I.e.; "export http_proxy=http://user:pass@url" | 14:53 |

| Monster | hello? | 14:54 |
| Lint | Simon1245, ubuntutv is a vaporware | 14:54 |
| dvhh | boson : I knew the solution existed, already done it before | 14:54 |
| bazhang | Simon1245, its not a released product, and for tvs only, so no | 14:54 |
| carpediembaby | Logos01: let me try it .. i type it at the commandline just like that? | 14:54 |
| Logos01 | bazhang: That's nice. My question still stands, however: /var/log/lastlog is claiming it is 407GB and df -h / recognizes this (as does ls -lh) | 14:54 |
| bazhang | Lint thats false | 14:55 |
| Logos01 | carpediembaby: Well, you want to replace the user:pass@url with the correct info for your situation, but yes. | 14:55 |
| Simon1245 | bazhang, Lint Oh so that means you can't have ubuntu TV on a laptop? | 14:55 |
| boson | but anyways, why cant i unmount my filesystem ? | 14:55 |
| bazhang | Simon1245, correct | 14:55 |
| Logos01 | boson: Because it's in use? | 14:55 |
| Simon1245 | bazhang, Ah ok, I thought it was gonna be for laptops so you could watch TV and shit directly from it, would be awesome if that was possible :D | 14:55 |
| carpediembaby | Logos01: of course. but it is global or just for that terminal session? | 14:56 |
| boson | yes sure but....i didnt really get what that mounting is all about | 14:56 |
| Lint | boson, why would you ever have your hd mounted if you booted from usb stick? | 14:56 |
| bazhang | Simon1245, www.ubuntu.com/tv | 14:56 |
| boson | i didnt lint, that was just a first step | 14:56 |

| Monster | i installed them before but then ubuntu would freeze and i had to reinstall it | 14:59 |
| Logos01 | Monster: Those are okay to install. It's just a thing to let you *choose* if you want to use closed-source stuff. | 14:59 |
| Simon1245 | But how are you supposed to get Ubuntu TV then? You gotta buy it from their site or something? Or they gonna sell it in the shops or how will it work? | 14:59 |

| mikeman76 | can someone please help with my ati mobility driver problem. I have HD4200 and Jockey will not install driver, or post driver.... im lost | 15:00 |
| mneptok | Logos01: if you think Centrify is filling log space, try asking in Centrify-specific venues about such stuff (e.g. dialing down verbosity). | 15:00 |
| Logos01 | mneptok: It's not. | 15:01 |
| Logos01 | The file is actually 4KB in size. | 15:01 |
| Simon1245 | dvhh, I was hoping that this thing could be something like "Apple TV" but which would work directly from the computer where you could save all your images and shit and view them directly from your computer and see them on the TV or something like that wher eyou also could watch TV and youtube videos and all that | 15:01 |
| Logos01 | However, it is a sparsefile and because of how CentrifyDC assigns UIDs it is reporting itself as 407GB in size. | 15:01 |
| Logos01 | And df -h / is 'honoring' that. | 15:01 |
| mneptok | Logos01: so unmount what you have to to run an fsck | 15:01 |

| Simon1245 | dvhh, I don't think so, it's not that advanced, although Xbox does, I've been able to use the Windows media center thing and the xbox connected together | 15:14 |
| dvhh | Simon1245 : yeah you could use your XBOX like that, but XBMC remain superior in every way (it was developed for the original xbox) | 15:16 |
| Logos01 | Anyone willing to be helpful to my circumstance? CentrifyDC is causing my /var/log/lastlog file to report (sparsely) as 407GB in size; and `df` is 'honoring' this. Anyone familiar with this situation? | 15:16 |
| metallico | hi guys, how do i install php 5.2 on Ubuntu 11.04? | 15:16 |
| Simon1245 | dvhh, So it should work on Xbox 360 too, rihgt? | 15:16 |
| dvhh | Simon1245 : then you could install a DNLA server on ubuntu for your xbox360 | 15:16 |
| Logos01 | metallico: You need to add a repository that contains it. | 15:17 |

| quiescens | Logos01: 407gb is not actually entirely out of the ordinary for /var/log/lastlog, if df is claiming that it is actually being used like that then that might be a problem, but the displayed size of lastlog has been seen higher than that depending on various factors | 15:17 |
| Logos01 | The easiest is sudo apt-add-repository ppa:andphe/php , followed by replacing "natty" with "maverick" in the files it adds in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 15:17 |

| metallico | mlc, that gives me php 5.3 | 15:18 |
| Logos01 | quiescens: I'm aware of that. | 15:18 |

| dvhh | Simon1245 : is your laptop powerful enough to trancode video in real time ? | 15:18 |

| quiescens | Logos01: do you actually know that it is lastlog that is showing up in df? | 15:20 |
| dvhh | Simon1245 : trancode mean recoding media for the target player | 15:20 |
| Logos01 | Hamed: That's why I suggested a script on your desktop that contains "sudo nautilus ." | 15:20 |
| quiescens | Logos01: and not files that have been "deleted" from the filesystem heirarchy but are still open by a process? | 15:20 |
| Logos01 | quiescens: I've only got 28GB of data on the server. | 15:20 |
| mneptok | Hamed: if you want to change permissions of things not owned by you, and do it from a GUI, then yes, "gksu nautilus" | 15:20 |
| Logos01 | Max has never been above 40. | 15:20 |
| mneptok | Hamed: be very, very careful what you do. | 15:20 |
| Logos01 | It's reporting over 400. | 15:20 |
| Simon1245 | dvhh, No idea if it is | 15:20 |
| Logos01 | ls -lh /var/log/lastlog shows 407GB. | 15:20 |
| kame | what does "ls ~ " mean? | 15:21 |
| Logos01 | kame: It lists out the files in your "home" directory. | 15:21 |
| mneptok | Hamed: do not run the "sudo nautilus" command that Logos01 gave. use "gksu nautilus" | 15:21 |

| mastro | sorry I meant mount at boot time | 15:22 |
| crizzy | mastro: place it to /etc/fstab | 15:22 |
| quiescens | Logos01: still, i would probably check lsof for deleted files just in case, it seems unlikely that df would suddenly decide to misbehave | 15:23 |
| Logos01 | mastro: Add it to your /etc/fstab is correct. Be sure to use the IP address rather than the DNS address, for stability. | 15:23 |
| mastro | crizzy, that's what I did | 15:23 |
| Logos01 | quiescens: There aren't any. I've checked. | 15:23 |
| CharminTheMoose | Is there such thing as top for networks? | 15:23 |
| mastro | Logos01, I did.. but it's not mounting at boot time | 15:23 |
| Logos01 | Plus; there's simply never been that much data on my system. | 15:23 |
| mastro | Logos01, crizzy and I can mount it with mount -a. So the configuration is correct | 15:23 |
| mastro | crizzy, Logos01 I would think of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/45842 but it's old and closed already | 15:24 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 45842 in sysvinit (Ubuntu) "nfs shares not mounted at startup" [Medium,Fix released] | 15:24 |
| Logos01 | mastro: Then it's a network issue; your machine isn't getting network connection "in time" to pick up those shares at boot. | 15:24 |
| Infernal | ikonia, Well i managed to make a test. I wanna thank you for your patience :) | 15:24 |
| Hamed | ok thank you it's done but every time i must to go to opt then choose lamp then htdocs then my website then then then any way to do it easier than that | 15:24 |
| mastro | Logos01, how so? It's eth0 and I have connection at boot time | 15:24 |
| theadmin | Hamed: Make a link? | 15:24 |
| mneptok | mastro: are you using NetworkManager to configure interfaces? or is that all defined in /etc/network/interfaces and such? | 15:24 |
| === ixela is now known as hatop_ | ||
| Logos01 | mastro: Try adding those mount commands to /etc/rc.d/ | 15:24 |
| mastro | Logos01, it's ubuntu service, no gui | 15:25 |
| mastro | Logos01, ah.. ubuntu server | 15:25 |
| theadmin | Hamed: ln -s /opt/lamp/your_website/htdocs ~/htdocs | 15:25 |
| Logos01 | mastro: Different things happen at different points in the boot process. | 15:25 |
| Logos01 | If the network isn't up when the mount calls are made, nfs mount will fail. | 15:25 |
| CharlieSu | When doing a 'apt-get update' I see an 'Ign' which i think is ignore.. Why woudl this happen? (Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/eternicode/rtorrent-0.8.7/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US) | 15:25 |
| mastro | Logos01, I know.. but on any other system (not ubuntu) I always just placed nfs in /etc/fstab and it booted, so this is probably a bug | 15:25 |
| theadmin | CharlieSu: Means the file is unchanged and therefore the old one is used | 15:25 |
| theadmin | CharlieSu: Normal, nothing to worry about | 15:26 |
| mneptok | mastro: try adding 'sudo mount -a' to rc.local | 15:26 |
| Logos01 | mastro: It's probably a hardware issue. | 15:26 |
| Logos01 | Boot order, or network issue. | 15:26 |
| CharlieSu | theadmin: is there a way to list all the packages in this PPA? I thought i could install a more recent version of rtorrent w/ it | 15:26 |
| Logos01 | If it were genuinely a bug then you would have trouble mounting via mount -a | 15:26 |
| mastro | Logos01, no it isn't I connect to the system with ssh only | 15:26 |
| theadmin | CharlieSu: Well, the ingored one is the translations... | 15:26 |
| mastro | Logos01, and it's a virtual machine | 15:26 |
| theadmin | CharlieSu: And no, I know no way to list all packages in a repo | 15:27 |
| mneptok | mastro: rc.local gets executed very late in the boot process. | 15:27 |
| mastro | mneptok, ok that's an hack tough | 15:27 |
| mneptok | mastro: are you using NetworkManager to configure interfaces? or is that all defined in /etc/network/interfaces and such? | 15:27 |
| mastro | mneptok, and I need the NFS to be up BEFORE ssh server | 15:27 |
| Hamed | do you want me to write this code in terminal | 15:28 |
| Logos01 | mastro: That's irrelevant. | 15:28 |
| mneptok | mastro: is the network-manager package installed? | 15:28 |
| Logos01 | I assure you, your machine -- VM or not -- is not connected to network at boot-time. | 15:28 |
| Logos01 | The boot order varies. Try adding the mount -a command to your relevant rc#.d/ directory. | 15:29 |
| Logos01 | (I believe for server it's still rc3 ? Ubuntu's different on that than a lot of distros.) | 15:29 |
| mastro | mneptok, I did an ubuntu server installation, no GUI so no NetworkManager (for instance dpkg -l network-manager show "un <none>") and I use DHCP to get up | 15:29 |
| theadmin | Logos01: All runlevels are equal... And actually don't exist anymore | 15:29 |
| CharlieSu | theadmin: if there are multiple repos that have the same package how will it choose which one to use? | 15:29 |
| Logos01 | theadmin: Grr. that's a Debianism right? | 15:29 |
| theadmin | CharlieSu: apt will just use the most up-to-date one normally | 15:29 |
| theadmin | Logos01: Yeah | 15:29 |
| theadmin | Logos01: Well, actually that's just being used to the sane SysV Init system... | 15:30 |
| Logos01 | theadmin: I'm too RHEL these days. Which is alright since I'm adminning ~500 of them. | 15:30 |

| mastro | Logos01, and how would that happen? usually there's only a place when network is brought up | 15:30 |
| Logos01 | mastro: The boot order varying? It just depends on when the hardware is initialized. | 15:31 |
| CharlieSu | is there a difference between lucid and lucid1 ? | 15:31 |
| martian | mastro: I didn't see the original question, but are you trying to get a network mount to work in fstab? | 15:31 |
| Logos01 | mastro: Also, are you using IP addresses or DNS entries? | 15:31 |
| mneptok | mastro: can you pastebin /etc/network/interfaces? | 15:31 |
| mastro | mneptok, nothing special on it... it's the default: auto eth0 \n iface eth0 inet dhcp | 15:32 |
| mastro | mneptok, and the loopback interface just before that | 15:33 |
| FischerFritz | forgot to mention that I am trying to boot from a usb flash drive, since the built-in CD/DVD-drive is gone | 15:33 |

| socrates_johnson | firekraag: sorry i'm not great with the codecs stuff...basically an unpixeled .mp4 and/or .avi is all i'm interested in | 15:46 |
| martian | mastro: that tells the system that you need networking first to mount that device | 15:46 |
| socrates_johnson | firekraag: this is the command that works in redhat but not my ubuntu machine: ffmpeg -i out.ogv -vcodec mpeg4 -sameq ffmpeg.avi | 15:46 |
| metallico | CharlieSu, i just found it, thanks | 15:47 |
| mlc | meerkats: have you clear the text in the search filer? | 15:47 |
| firekraag | socrates_johnson: avi and mp4 are containers. basically, just boxes. but depending on the device that is going to read your video you will have to choose a proper encoder | 15:47 |
| SliMM | firstly, the pulseaudio daemon doesn't seem to be starting properly, because I cannot use "pactl" to load modules or "pavucontrol" (I get "connection refused") | 15:47 |

| rabbi1 | mlc: can't i just repair install, so that i leaves my apps and directories alone and installs only the OS files ? :( | 15:58 |

| MariusKarthaus | HI, i've switched to unity and I like it. There is one thing I miss *very* much and that is a 'searchable' clipboard. In KDE I used klipper, while the history was open, i was albe to type chars and the list would be filtered accordingly. This makes a lot of sense when multiple lines are copied and you need to find the correct one. Is something like that available in unity? | 15:59 |

| firekraag | socrates_johnson: try `ffmpeg -i input.ogv -an -vcodec rawvideo out.avi' to see which of the encoder or decoder is failing | 15:59 |
| bazhang | Lint, clarify | 15:59 |
| Lint | bazhang, dpkg has this package as 'uninstalled' while he's still physically installed/configured | 16:00 |
| mlc | rabbi1: for future installation: you can create very easy a seperate home partition | 16:00 |
| bazhang | Lint, you never ignore broken packages | 16:00 |

| Lint | bazhang, i.e. its files are untouched | 16:00 |

| firekraag | AVI container* | 16:00 |
| xangua | MariusKarthaus: it has no searcheable box but it has other useful stuff like upload the text to pastebin like sites | 16:01 |
| rabbi1 | mlc: can we PM ? | 16:01 |
| Lint | bazhang, "I never ignore" because apt-get is a junk and has not this option? or why? | 16:01 |

| mneptok | Lint: it's not that i don't want to help you. it's that anyone experienced enough to start messing with packages the way you propose does not then say, "give me the commands." | 16:15 |

| Lint | theadmin, don't want them, don't need them, only this package is needed | 16:17 |
| Lint | but it's 'broken' without them and that completely blocks apt-get work | 16:17 |
| theadmin | Lint: This makes no sense you know, if you need a package and need it to work (and you do), you need the deps as well. Familiarize yourself with the content of packages. | 16:18 |

| cristian_c | Hi | 16:29 |
| cristian_c | I'm using Oneiric Ocelot 11.10, I purchased an asus WL-330gE. The device shields the connection to the router, unfortunately I have to first establish a direct connection to the router, and then the computer automatically snaps to a repeater. But if the PC tries to connect to the router via the repeater, it fails | 16:29 |
| haidara | eskarume thanks a million man | 16:29 |
| cristian_c | the network manager tries to connect several times, but it fails to connect. So I updated the firmware to the latest version, from version 2.0.1.9 to 2.0.2.0, but unfortunately the problem persists | 16:30 |

| cristian_c | What can I do to solve the problem? | 16:30 |
| firekraag | ljsoftnet: uname -a | 16:30 |
| ljsoftnet | it says x86_64 | 16:31 |

| xxdigitolxx | before htaccess was setup i was able to just copy a link from a directory listing to play it through vlc or any video player | 16:34 |

| onceltuca | how can i start ubuntu without starting X? | 16:36 |
| bluefrog | xxdigitolxx, put your htaccess on pastebin | 16:36 |
| rumpe1 | PlaneCrazy1, yes. Clean, fresh reinstall. Maybe make a backup of /home before that, because user profiles could get invalid | 16:36 |
| rumpe1 | onceltuca, "text" as kernel parameter in grub boot menu should work | 16:37 |
| xxdigitolxx | planecrazy1....if you run setup from 10.04 cd it should guide you through the whole process of repartitioning and reinstall of 10.04 | 16:37 |
| meskarune | onceltuca: you can add an entry in grub that has ubuntu boot in run level 3 | 16:37 |
| xxdigitolxx | onceltuca, um...try using ubuntu-server edition..there is no x installed. | 16:38 |
| onceltuca | rumpe1: how do i get to grub | 16:38 |
| meskarune | onceltuca: in grub legacy you would add "ro 3" to the end of the kernel line. but its probably a different procedure for grub2 | 16:38 |
| rumpe1 | onceltuca, the boot screen should be grub | 16:38 |
| PlaneCrazy1 | Thanks. Can the home folder be copied to the the newly installed 10.04 if I do side by side install of 10.04 next to 11.10? | 16:38 |
| onceltuca | xxdigitolxx: but i have already installed it. Actually im logged in as aguest right now | 16:38 |

| onceltuca | meskarune: im logged in as guest. | 16:39 |
| PlaneCrazy1 | yah I kind of figured...thanks | 16:40 |

| xxdigitolxx | thanks. | 16:45 |
| xxdigitolxx | i'll try looking for that. | 16:45 |
| meskarune | onceltuca: well, you should only let the person who owns the system and has root access edit things like grub :P | 16:46 |

| meskarune | skrag: to make the directory owned by root do "sudo chown root /<path to directory>" and I would suggest making a new group, then giving that group permission to the files, and add all the users you want to use those files in that group | 16:59 |

| ivanoats | theadmin, thanks. now I guess I'll try checking xorg configs? | 17:00 |
| Onkeltem | Hi | 17:01 |
| Yabadoo | can someone explain me why canonical is wasting time on ubuntu tv while it clearly can't compete? | 17:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Yabadoo wrong channel | 17:01 |
| theadmin | ivanoats: More likely change the password, who knows, might have been set wrongly without you noticing, happens. That first. Then try replacing your current display manager with another one to see if that'll work | 17:01 |
| bazhang | Yabadoo, #ubuntu-offtopic please | 17:01 |
| Yabadoo | bazhang: ok, sry | 17:01 |
| Yabadoo | MonkeyDust: sorry. | 17:02 |
| ivanoats | no, the password works. I can log in, in bare terminal | 17:02 |
| Onkeltem | Yesterday I was asking about video linear editing software, and someone advised me OpenShot. Today I tried it but cound't find a way to save a file without full encoding. So, is there a good software for this? | 17:02 |
| Onkeltem | Just need to cut some parts from a video file | 17:02 |
| meskarune | Onkeltem: avidmux ? | 17:03 |
| meskarune | Onkeltem: http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/ | 17:03 |
| Onkeltem | meskarune: thank you! | 17:04 |
| ivanoats | so, I did a dpkg-reconfigure gdm. Now using gdm instead of light... but still same problem, always returns me to login screen. even when I select recovery console session | 17:05 |
| lvidal | hello | 17:05 |
| lvidal | simple question here | 17:05 |
| qw-Russian | how me killed proccesed ? | 17:06 |
| klync | lvidal: no question there, actually ... | 17:06 |
| meskarune | ivanoats: do you have auto logon turned on? | 17:06 |
| qw-Russian | i am not see proced in the top | 17:06 |
| ivanoats | meskarune: no auto login | 17:06 |
| ivanoats | qw-Russian: ps aux | grep -i <processname> | 17:07 |
| qw-Russian | but as to know the name of process me ? | 17:08 |
| Somelauw | Has anyone got wmii to work on ubuntu? | 17:09 |
| lvidal | I installed ubuntu server in a VM for local Web Development. I name the hostname "devserver" as anyone from any computer could access the files from the browser, and it worked. But something happened when the router we had was changed for another, now if I put devserver in the browser it doesn't find it. Am I missing something here? | 17:09 |

| tMH | ppl, pal of mine installed win7 on sda1 then xubuntu on sdb1 (preformatted ext4+swap partitions on it) and xubuntu installed grub on sdb1. now he installed some os manager on sda1 (win7 partition) and when the system boots up it shows that boot manager and if he select xubuntu to load - GRUB appears.. | 17:09 |
| ivanoats | qw-Russian: you don't know the process name? and you don't see it in top? how do you know it's there, please explain more | 17:09 |
| tMH | the question is - how to remove grub totally from sdb1 yet leaving sdb1 bootable? | 17:09 |
| meskarune | Somelauw: probably. if you are having problems, just ask for a solution. | 17:11 |
| qw-Russian | ivanoats, I tried to set Access through a cantilever and the program hung up began to be knocked out very much many errors 35 | 17:11 |
| meskarune | tmH: why do you want to get rid of grub? | 17:11 |
| Somelauw | meskarune: I am having problems compiling libixp-hg | 17:11 |
| Onkeltem | meskarune: avidemux is unable to detect FLAC audio? | 17:12 |
| meskarune | Somelauw: do you have all the compilers installed? and are you getting any errors? | 17:12 |
| Somelauw | But if I ask how to compile libixp-hg, I am actually asking an x y problem. | 17:12 |
| meskarune | Onkeltem: do you have the flac codec installed? | 17:12 |
| Onkeltem | meskarune: I've created a screencast using Kazam, and can't open it with Avidemux in other words | 17:12 |
| popey | Onkeltem: tried openshot? | 17:13 |
| Onkeltem | meskarune: I don't know do I have it actually. 'flac' executable is installed yes | 17:13 |
| ivanoats | theadmin , meskarune or anyone: I'm seeing a lot of gdm-critical errors in /var/log/syslog like CRITICAL: gdm_session_direct_get_username: assertion `session != NULL' failed | 17:13 |
| tMH | meskarune - because there are _two_ os managers. | 17:13 |
| popey | Onkeltem: which version of kazam? | 17:13 |
| tMH | meskarune - and if 1st one will be removed - then there will be no way to load grub. | 17:13 |
| Onkeltem | popey: yes, but openshot can't do trivial things like saving without re-encoding | 17:13 |
| tMH | because grub installed on sdb1 | 17:13 |
| tMH | not sda1 | 17:13 |
| qw-Russian | help me please | 17:13 |
| tMH | understand?:) | 17:13 |
| theadmin | ivanoats: Do you have any proper desktop environments installed? | 17:14 |
| Onkeltem | popey: kazam 0.11 | 17:14 |
| ivanoats | it's a standard out of the box ubuntu 11.10, only a few days old | 17:14 |
| popey | Onkeltem: try kazam 1.0.2, much better | 17:15 |
| cypher-neo | qw-Russian, How can I help? | 17:15 |

| tMH | meskarune - once again. win7 on sda1 and grub on sdb1, yet boot manager on sda1 that gives ability to load win7 OR xubuntu from sdb1. | 17:17 |
| Onkeltem | popey: is 1.0.2 a stable version? | 17:17 |
| Somelauw | meskarune: I get the following error when trying to build:http://pastebin.com/j7yZJZnj | 17:17 |
| meskarune | tMH: what boot manager do you have installed on sda1 ? I don't understand. do you have grub installed twice? or are you using a different boot loader? | 17:18 |
| Onkeltem | popey: don't mind, I found | 17:18 |
| tMH | meskarune - if you choose to load xubuntu THEN grub appears and asks you to choose win7 or xubuntu. stupid enough?:) now I want to know how to _remove_ GRUB and leave xubuntu (sdb1) as active/bootable partition? | 17:18 |
| tMH | meskarune - different boot loader. not me but my co-worker:) | 17:18 |
| === hassan is now known as Guest47678 | ||
| Guest47678 | hello, how can I set up and configure a pptp vpn connection using a command line (in a server) .. thx | 17:19 |
| meskarune | tMH: ok, it sounds like the first boot loader is chaining to grub. first you need to edit the first boot loader to directly load xbuntu. THEN you can delete grub. If you don't do that first you won't be able to boot xubuntu at all. :P | 17:19 |
| meskarune | tMH: if you tell me what boot loader the first one is I can help you with that. (the only one I know besides grub is lilo) | 17:20 |
| tMH | meskarune - I don't think 1st loader is chained to ubuntu. it loading sdb1 as normal drive and THEN grub appears. | 17:20 |
| tMH | meskarune - now - how to remove grub AND leave sdb1 bootable as if it wasn't with grub at all? | 17:20 |
| meskarune | tHM: if you have a boot loader that is loading grub then they are chained :P | 17:20 |
| tMH | meskarune - acronis OS selector. | 17:21 |
| Somelauw | Does anyone understand that compiler error? | 17:21 |
| tMH | I can tell pal of mine to remove all partitions on sdb1 and REINSTALL xubuntu | 17:21 |
| === recon69_lap is now known as recon_lap | ||
| meskarune | tMH: ok. I"ve heard of acronis actually, but I might need a little time to look up how to add xubuntu to it. :) once you boot xubuntu directly from acronis, then you can delete grub. just a sec. :) | 17:21 |
| tMH | because in that case - when partitions are created then there question appears - where to install grub or to NOT install it. | 17:21 |
| RawProduce | Somelauw: sounds like GPG needs a key to be generated, hold on | 17:22 |
| tMH | meskarune - of course, that what I talking about - how to remove GRUB and keep sdb1 bootable;)) | 17:22 |
| deltafoss | please guys, just mounted a ext4 filesystem on /mnt/usb. how do i run a program that has its dependencies in the "/" directory | 17:22 |
| nils_ | deltafoss: is there a full blown linux system on that disk? | 17:23 |
| RawProduce | Somelauw: probably something like this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-your-own-gpg-key.html | 17:23 |
| tMH | meskarune - I think AOS (acronis os selector) did found sdb1 and put the bootable point in it's list, I am even almost sure thatn AOS give no flying fsck about GRUB at all. it just _loading_ bootsector from sdb1. | 17:23 |
| tMH | now it's time to remove GRUB;) | 17:24 |
| Dr_willis | deltafoss: 'dependencies in the / directory' does jnot make a lot of sence. | 17:24 |
| Somelauw | RawProduce: I don't understand why I would need to do this, but okay I'll try. | 17:24 |
| Somelauw | Thanks | 17:24 |
| RawProduce | Somelauw: I assume that dpkg checks the validity of packages with GPG - does installing other stuff work? | 17:25 |
| qw-Russian | рудз ьу здуфыу | 17:25 |
| qw-Russian | help me please | 17:25 |
| blitz | what is your problem qw-Russian | 17:25 |
| deltafoss | not really, a new filesystem i created, so i installed a software from "/" to /mnt/usb which then created /lib, /etc /bin. i didnt get it to run because all its dependencies lives in "/" | 17:25 |
| trism | Somelauw: are you building a deb? (I just arrived so missed the error), the -uc and -us flags disable signing if so | 17:26 |
| RawProduce | qw-Russian: chto ne robotayet? | 17:26 |
| Dr_willis | deltafoss: installed it how exactly? | 17:26 |
| qw-Russian | I tried to set Access through a cantilever and the program hung up began to be knocked out very much many errors 35 i would like killed this procced | 17:26 |
| tMH | "rabotaet", from word 'rab' - slave, btw | 17:26 |
| Somelauw | trism: Yes, I want to install wmii, so I am building a deb for it. | 17:26 |
| meskarune | tMH: ok, it looks like acronis doesn't support linux booting. so you'll either have to delete acronis and use grub, or leave it chain loaded. | 17:27 |
| RawProduce | qt-Russian: find the PID of the process with "ps -A | grep [program name here]" | 17:27 |
| qw-Russian | RawProduce, da blin pitalsya access pastavit a proga zavisla i ne znau kak ybit proses | 17:27 |
| Somelauw | RawProduce: Yes, I am making a deb to install something here. | 17:27 |
| RawProduce | qw-Russian: then run "kill -9 [PID number here]" | 17:27 |
| tMH | meskarune - total wrong, if it cannot support linux loading then there will be "switch" to sdb1 at all:) | 17:27 |
| capcook | sorry for the offtopic request. i dont know where to ask. does anyone know a channel where i can talk about irc sed encryption? | 17:27 |
| qw-Russian | RawProduce, ya ne vigy ego v procese | 17:27 |
| bazhang | qw-Russian, english here only | 17:27 |
| tMH | meskarune - and - I like acronis much more than grub:) is there ANY way to remove grub from sdb1, anyway? :)) | 17:28 |
| qw-Russian | okey | 17:28 |
| RawProduce | qw-Russian: do you see it if you run "top"? | 17:28 |
| meskarune | tMH: its chainloaded. please see here: http://kb.acronis.com/content/1584 | 17:28 |
| qw-Russian | no | 17:28 |
| qw-Russian | not see | 17:28 |
| bazhang | qw-Russian, are you talking about MS access? | 17:28 |
| deltafoss | Dr_willis: actually handled by TP-link router | 17:28 |
| RawProduce | qw-Russian: "apt-get install htop", it's a top alternative that's easier to use | 17:28 |
| meskarune | tMH: if you remove grub you will not be able to boot linux | 17:28 |
| trism | Somelauw: yeah then: debuild -uc -us -b; should be what you want (well depending on how you are building it) | 17:28 |
| qw-Russian | bazharng | 17:28 |
| qw-Russian | yes | 17:28 |
| nils_ | tMH: you could probably overwrite the boot sector... | 17:28 |
| tMH | nils_ - with what ? | 17:28 |
| tMH | what mbr? | 17:29 |
| RawProduce | then find the process, press F9, then 9, then enter | 17:29 |
| RawProduce | is it running in a GUI window? | 17:29 |
| trism | Somelauw: not that you can't sign it if you want to (if you were, say, uploading to launchpad for a ppa) | 17:29 |
| tMH | meskarune - I am _almost_ sure that if _i'd had to install that xubuntu - I'd reformat sdb1 once again, partition it with / and swap and THEN I'd tell xubuntu to NOT install no OS loaders at all. | 17:29 |
| Somelauw | trism: Can I also do sudo make install directly? What is the difference between doing that and installing a deb? | 17:30 |
| qw-Russian | RawProduce, see http://pastebin.com/AppteuwG | 17:30 |
| tMH | meskarune - and THEN acronis will load sdb1 by itself w/o any problem. | 17:30 |
| nils_ | tMH: well to overwrite the first 512 bytes you could do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=512 count=1 | 17:30 |
| Somelauw | I didn't need to sign everything when I was building a deb before. | 17:30 |
| meskarune | tMH: I would suggest changing grub so that it boots directly to xubuntu without a pause, that way you won't have to see the grub screen every time you reboot. but you cannot delete grub without making linux unbootable. acronis is chain linked so that it sends you to grub when you click on xubuntu. please read the link I gave to you. | 17:30 |
| nils_ | is arconis able to boot linux? | 17:30 |
| tMH | nils_ - I imagine that:) but if I'll overwrite those 512 sectors then sdb1 will be NON-bootable at all. right? | 17:30 |
| SubjectOne | anybody here a name for a program that i can use for creating databases ( with an ncurse interface ? ) | 17:30 |
| meskarune | nils_: NO acronis is not able to boot linux | 17:30 |
| nils_ | tMH: well yeah there will be zero were grub once was. | 17:30 |
| RawProduce | qw-Russian: that means it's already installed, so run "htop", find the program in the list, hit F9, 9, enter | 17:31 |
| Somelauw | The only time I ever needed to mess with generating keys was when I wanted to use git. | 17:31 |
| nils_ | meskarune: well then he'll need grub or lilo or syslinux anyways... | 17:31 |
| Somelauw | or github | 17:31 |
| tMH | nils_ - once again - if grub is NOT installed - are there zeros , normally ? | 17:31 |
| meskarune | tMH: please read this before you break your system: http://kb.acronis.com/content/1584 | 17:31 |
| RawProduce | qw-Russian: if it's in a GUI window, run "xkill" and click on the offending window | 17:31 |
| qw-Russian | RawProduce, join PM please | 17:31 |
| mong | SubjectOne: you could try sqlite3 for simple database work | 17:31 |
| RawProduce | anyone know how to join a PM in irssi? :) | 17:31 |
| meskarune | nils_: he wants to delete grub because its ugly. but since acronis doesn't boot linux, grub can't be deleted. :P | 17:31 |
| tMH | btw. there was a LILO once upon a time | 17:31 |
| tMH | why don't use it instead of grub ? | 17:31 |
| nils_ | lilo sucks | 17:32 |
| tMH | mb.. | 17:32 |
| nils_ | grub is far superior. | 17:32 |
| meskarune | tMH: you will notice I mentioned lilo eariler :P | 17:32 |
| Onkeltem | Its a scoff! Kazam either makes MKV or WebM. First, can't be opened in AviDemux. Latter is opened, but picture is broken and video runs two times faster then normal! | 17:32 |
| ariestiyansyah | hello there | 17:32 |
| tMH | meskarune - btw, is there ANY way to tell grub _not stopping_ for loading xbuntu? I mean - remove all other entries from it's menu etc? | 17:32 |
| SubjectOne | thanx mong, i'll give it a try | 17:32 |
| ariestiyansyah | somebody know config ipv6 in ubuntu ? | 17:32 |
| meskarune | tMH: if you don't want to see grub when you boot linux, get rid of the 30 second boot delay and it will boot directly into linux wihtout showing grub | 17:32 |
| mun_ | hi | 17:33 |
| daweefolk | hi, I'm trying to use youtube-dl but i want to specify where videos will download. Is there a youtubedlrc or something? | 17:33 |
| tMH | and - the main question is - if I'll set a pause = 0 - will it continue loading without pause or will fait forever?;)) | 17:33 |
| trism | Somelauw: you could just make install if you wanted, building a package is generally nicer though, it is hard to say without knowing exactly what you are doing (where the packaging for wmii is coming from) | 17:33 |
| mun_ | does anyone know of an applet for monitoring network speed that's usable in Gnome 3 fallback? | 17:33 |
| daweefolk | generally pause=0 pauses indefinitely i believe | 17:33 |
| tMH | meskarune - delay set to 0 will load linux w/o pause OR will say grub to wait forever?;))) | 17:33 |
| daweefolk | i have pause=1 on mine | 17:34 |
| tMH | so GRUB is not only multiOS manager - itself it a LOADER like lilo was... | 17:34 |
| tMH | nice thingie, fsck it... | 17:34 |
| tMH | I'll have to read about GRUB then.. | 17:34 |
| meskarune | tMH: yeah, set the delay to 0 so that there is no delay and it boots linux right away | 17:35 |
| undecim | What would be the ill effects of installing the Natty dpkg package on Lucid? | 17:35 |
| tMH | meskarune - ok, I'll tell pal to do that on tomorrow. | 17:35 |
| tMH | thanks all:) | 17:35 |
| meskarune | sure | 17:35 |
| meskarune | undecim: you could have some libraries that aren't the right versions. its possible it could mess up your system | 17:36 |
| undecim | Then I have to compile dpkg 1.16 from source, I guess | 17:36 |
| undecim | Because the sync() in 1.15 is hanging my system, thrashing my hard drives, and just generally ticking me off | 17:37 |
| Somelauw | trism: I did a checkout from hg | 17:37 |
| Somelauw | I am not sure but I think building a deb makes it easier to uninstall, but building a dep itself is harder. | 17:38 |
| meskarune | undecim: even compiling from source you can run into library version problems. | 17:38 |
| meskarune | undecim: you could install natty as a chroot in /opt adn then run the programs you need from that | 17:38 |
| capcook | sorry for asking again. does anyone know a channel to talk about irc protocol? | 17:39 |
| undecim | meskarune: I think it would be a little complicated running a package manager from a chroot.... | 17:39 |
| mong | capcook: maybe #freenode | 17:40 |
| meskarune | undecim: http://wiki.eprints.org/w/Installing_in_a_chroot_Debian/Ubuntu that is a tutorial, though you might need to change some setting to version / OS you want to use | 17:40 |
| undecim | meskarune: Yeah, but if I use the package manager in the chroot, then it changes the programs in my chroot, not my system | 17:41 |
| meskarune | undecim: so instead of fiesty you would put natty | 17:41 |
| capcook | mong: thanks for your reply. ill try. | 17:41 |
| suyash | hi | 17:42 |
| meskarune | undecim: you could upgrade I guess :/ | 17:42 |
| meskarune | undecim: or use a rolling release linux distrobution that is more up to date | 17:42 |
| mun_ | can the software centre be used to search using library names, e.g., libgtk2.0-dev? it somehow doesn't give any result in the software centre, but apt-get finds it. | 17:42 |
| undecim | meskarune: Yeah, but I've got about 72 hours of file operations queued.... | 17:42 |
| cortman | mun_: that's what apt-cache search is for. | 17:43 |
| === patrunjel is now known as Patrunjel | ||
| cortman | apt-cache search --names-only, if you just want names | 17:43 |
| mun_ | cortman, is there any way to bring back synaptic rather than software centre? | 17:43 |
| === Patrunjel is now known as Patrunjell | ||
| trism | Somelauw: I see, it has a deb target in the Makefile, if you look at the makefile, it is just running dpkg-buildpackage, you could always add -uc -us to disable signing to that line | 17:44 |
| mun_ | cortman, or somehow search using library names in software centre? | 17:44 |
| cortman | mun, is it not installed? | 17:44 |
| mun_ | oh it's a package | 17:44 |
| mun_ | installable package | 17:44 |

| magma | how can I see the specifics of my harddrive thgouth the command line? like if I have a SATA and buffer size | 17:44 |
| mun_ | cortman, well it crashes. "terminate called after throwing an instance of std::out_of_range" | 17:45 |
| meskarune | undecim: you should wait until your file operations are done, then either upgrade or use a more uptodate OS :) | 17:45 |
| cortman | mun, you're saying synaptic crashes? | 17:46 |
| mun_ | cortexman, yeah. | 17:46 |
| cortman | uninstall/reinstall? Were you having any package trouble, or just with Synaptic? | 17:46 |
| mun_ | cortman, just synaptic | 17:46 |
| cortman | mun, Also, if you want to search package names, you can do so from the command line using the commands I gave earlier. | 17:47 |
| undecim | meskarune: LTS is supposed to get bug fixes for 5 years | 17:47 |
| llutz | magma: sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdX | 17:47 |

| meskarune | undecim: :P maybe ask the dev's if there is a fix in the works. or upgrade. I don't know what else to tell you. you don't want to break your system more. :) | 17:49 |
| mun_ | cortman, i've only upgraded to 11.10 for a day, but it seems to me synaptic is far better than software center. am i missing something? | 17:50 |
| cortman | mun, NO. Synaptic all the way | 17:50 |
| mun_ | ok. i'm glad! | 17:50 |
| meskarune | mun_: I don't even use GUI pachage managers :P | 17:50 |
| kallisti | where can I find the Garamond typefaces for Ubuntu? | 17:50 |
| cortman | mun, Way more control. Much more stable (i've helped many people on the forums fixing broken software centre), and has the nifty download script feature. | 17:51 |
| mun_ | meskarune, i'm lazy :P | 17:51 |
| vlt | Hello. I installed Ubuntu Oneiric and now everytime I log in my audio volume is set to 100 %, no matter what I select in lightdm. Any idea how to fix this? | 17:51 |
| celina | help how do i configure java to play online games | 17:51 |
| meskarune | mun_: I feel that more complexity = more change for something to break :) | 17:51 |
| celina | no matter what install it don't seem to work | 17:51 |
| TheRedOctober | Hi all, I have a pulseaudio issue in 11.10. What are we supposed to use instead of padevchooser? | 17:51 |
| meskarune | celina: have you restared after installing java? | 17:52 |
| cortman | meskarune, I'm with you on that one | 17:52 |
| mun_ | the major problem i have now is i can't get hardware sensors applet to work... | 17:52 |
| celina | yes | 17:52 |
| celina | i'm just turned it back on | 17:52 |
| mun_ | meskarune, sure. | 17:53 |
| magma | ty | 17:53 |
| celina | always says firefox crashed | 17:54 |
| mun_ | cortexman, meskarune which desktop environment are you using? | 17:54 |
| cortman | mun, Gnome shell | 17:54 |
| TheRedOctober | Can anyone suggest the way to select a network pulseaudio device in xubuntu 11.10? | 17:54 |
| meskarune | mun_: I use fluxbox | 17:54 |
| mun_ | i don't like neither unity or gnome 3 shell | 17:54 |
| mun_ | i'm using gnome 3 fallback.. but the panel is messed up. | 17:55 |
| meskarune | mun_: you could try out xfce4 its pretty featureful and light weight | 17:55 |
| cortman | mun, I didn't either at first, but I stuck with it for about a week, now I love it. | 17:55 |
| meskarune | mun_: xfce4 also comes with a built in compositioner | 17:55 |
| cortman | mun, and I second meskarune's xfce recommendation. Great if you prefer a classic style environment | 17:55 |
| Alija_ | i have a question : there is one folder were i have some files..but if i do ls, my ssh connexion freezes..does anyone know why it might happen that on that specific folder it does not lists the files/directories ? | 17:55 |
| mun_ | meskarune, i'll give that one a try if i still can't find love | 17:55 |
| Alija_ | the ls -p | grep "/" does return a list of directories | 17:56 |
| mun_ | i've only spent 15 mins in each and couldn't stand them already. perhaps i should give them another chance... | 17:56 |
| mun_ | perhaps i'm too used to just gnome-do and awn | 17:57 |
| celina | do anybody know the terminal command for java? for like when it gives a long list of % complete. that's how it worked last time on other computer | 17:57 |
| cortman | mun, I started really liking gnome-shell after I installed Docky. | 17:57 |
| martian | celina: the terminal command is usually just 'java'. Not sure what you mean by the % thing. | 17:58 |
| meskarune | mun_: I can't stand gnome or kde and they never grew on me. :P | 17:58 |
| mun_ | cortman, but what did gnome-shell bring? can't gnome-do handle it all? | 17:58 |
| celina | it goes in a list...each line says about 5% change. | 17:58 |
| cortman | mun, gnome-do is dead in Gnome 3+ | 17:58 |
| meskarune | mun_: you can use gnome-do and awn in xfce :) | 17:58 |
| celina | it runs about 40 lines of % complete | 17:58 |
| luckybunny | Please help!!! it's just taken me ages to get a login screen, and now I have, I've logged in.... but I can't move my mouse because if I do, I'll be turfed back to login screen. I want to fix this while I have a GUI, but I'm limited to keyboard only | 17:58 |

| luckybunny | meskarune: doubtful, but possible | 17:59 |
| mun_ | meskarune, i use gnome-do mostly because of the calendar and remember the milk plugins | 18:00 |
| luckybunny | I wouldn't know which hardware, though | 18:00 |
| irenicus09 | luckybunny: how are you chatting now...through xchat? :P | 18:01 |
| luckybunny | I logged out last night, normally, and then got a message repeated over and over again, instead of my usual login screen. It was something about port 8 | 18:02 |
| luckybunny | anyhow, I got a login screen up at that time, but every time I logged in, my GUI wasn't working. It loaded, but mouse movements caused it to drop back to login again | 18:02 |
| luckybunny | and then the issue started affecting the login screen as well (mouse would make it refresh) | 18:02 |
| mun_ | actually i wonder i'm actually using gnome3 fallback. basically i installed 11.10 and gnome-panel. is that gnome 3 fallback? | 18:02 |
| ImTheDude | How come when i launch prisem for facebook it launches twitter? | 18:02 |
| luckybunny | irenicus09: kvirc. I have my lubuntu box working, but I ain't gonna touch the mouse | 18:03 |
| meskarune | mun_: tasque is a desktop RTM, and you could use remind / wxremind for calendar: http://www.duke.edu/~dgraham/wxRemind/ | 18:04 |
| mun_ | meskarune, thanks! | 18:04 |
| luckybunny | also it seems the only way I'm going to get chrome or any other program is to close kvirc | 18:07 |
| luckybunny | unless there's a keyboard command to minimise | 18:07 |
| luckybunny | I can get a terminal. there's one built into kvirc | 18:08 |
| trism | mun_: yes that is gnome 3 fallback | 18:09 |

| h00k | Jonathan_: it could be a lot of things, i'd start by testing your memory | 18:21 |

| Somelauw | I am not sure but I think building a deb makes it easier to uninstall, but building a dep itself is harder. | 18:25 |
| theadmin | elzoog: Use Rhythmbox, it does it for the music at least | 18:26 |
| elzoog | Thanks theadmin | 18:27 |
| h00k | Jonathan_: did you check your logs for any kernel panics? they're in /var/logs, I'd start there. If the kernel is panicking without being able to write a log, you can configure it to dump the information out to a serial device, which is what I managed to figure out how to do. | 18:27 |
| meskarune | skrag: no. you have to use permissions to do what you want to do. | 18:28 |

| bobo37773 | do newer kernels have ssh support built in by default? | 18:32 |
| h00k | bobo37773: ssh is a program you can install, as is the server, not anythign to do with the kernel | 18:32 |
| h00k | Jonathan_: you can change what kernel you boot by holding down left-shift when GRUB appears | 18:33 |
| bobo37773 | h00k: Yeah but can't it be built into the kernel? I remember reading something about this a while back | 18:33 |
| Jonathan_ | Well, I installed the server one by doing "sudo apt-get install linux-image-server" | 18:33 |
| Jonathan_ | But I want the system to boot from that one | 18:33 |
| Jonathan_ | h00k: How do I do that | 18:33 |
| Jonathan_ | ?* | 18:33 |
| h00k | Jonathan_: you can configure it in Grub, | 18:34 |
| h00k | !grub | Jonathan_ | 18:34 |
| ubottu | Jonathan_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 18:34 |

| Jisus | how to configure a server hosting with cpanel or plesk installed? | 18:34 |
| Jonathan_ | h00k: I know I can do it in grub, but there's supposed to be a way to do it automaticly | 18:34 |
| theadmin | elzoog: Complicated... Try the Windows version of xcode in wine | 18:34 |
| theadmin | elzoog: If that doesn't work, probably use a Windows VM... macs are hard to install on any VMs | 18:35 |
| elzoog | theadmin, From what I read on the web, I gather it's complicated | 18:35 |
| Somelauw | trism: I am not sure, it says: http://pastebin.com/FWnq6SZV. I can't find the file.deb that it should have created. | 18:35 |
| oCean | Jonathan_: hey! You can set the GRUB_DEFAULT option in /etc/default/grub to make it default to an other kernel | 18:36 |
| pros977 | ISOcrates: wll, when I install via usb on a netbook, I set the usb as the first hard drive and primary boot device. There are two sections on netbooks. Really, anything that indicates hard drive order I guess. | 18:36 |
| pros977 | ISOcrates: just a thought | 18:37 |
| oCean | Jonathan_: default it is set to 0. You have to do a grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and change the GRUB_DEFAULT to the corresponding entry (mind you, counting starts at 0) | 18:37 |
| trism | Somelauw: the .deb is in the next directory up (cd ..) if it succeeded and it looks okay (also you don't need to sudo that step) | 18:37 |

| Gskellig | the date on my ubuntu server is wrong, and I can't update it and I can't set it manually | 18:39 |
| oCean | Jonathan_: you installed a different kernel? But it isn't in /boot/grub/grub.cfg? | 18:39 |
| elzoog | theadmin, Apple sure doesn't make it easy to do things outside of their proprietary OS or hardware. They seem to be even worse than Windows in that regard | 18:39 |
| ISOcrates | pros977, yeah i've used it a bunch before... but just tried booting 12.04 from the same usb and it worked... so maybe i need to try getting the image again | 18:39 |

| oCean | Jonathan_: yeah, I think we're actually missing a step in the process? | 18:47 |

| sskalnik | When compiling a kernel module, how do I ensure that correct dir for the kernel headers is used? | 19:07 |
| Somelauw | There are probably advantages to the debian way of actually signing your applications but for now I will do it like this. | 19:08 |
| sskalnik | I thought I was passing the correct parameters to make, but apparently not. | 19:08 |

| SlickRickDFW | Nube here with Ubuntu... Is there an Applications menu on Ubuntu 11.1 Desktop or does one access all apps thru Dash? If exists, how do I find it? | 19:12 |
| cortman | guest, if you have only just installed, you may as well reinstall it, and select to wipe everything and install xubuntu. | 19:12 |
| vlt | Hello. I installed Ubuntu Oneiric and now everytime I log in my audio volume is set to 100 %, no matter what I select in lightdm. Any idea how to fix this? | 19:12 |
| cypher-neo | SlickRickDFW, No all navigation on 11.10 is done through the Dash | 19:12 |
| SlickRickDFW | thx... | 19:12 |
| aboudreault | guys.... I have a bash script which basically only do a rsync with a ssh key. It works perfectly if I execute it manually. However... If I put the script in my "crontab -e" I got this error: key_parse_private_pem: PEM_read_PrivateKey. What's that issue? I | 19:12 |
| _Marcus | Hi | 19:12 |
| cypher-neo | SlickRickDFW, You can install an Applications menu however, if that is your preference | 19:12 |
| Somelauw | I noticed some extra shortcuts in gnome when using the window key. super + r redraws everything | 19:13 |
| SlickRickDFW | @cypher-neo how do i install app menu? | 19:13 |
| cypher-neo | SlickRickDFW, By installing either GNOME Fallback mode and/or GNOME3, you can get access to an Applications menu. | 19:13 |
| Seryth | How do I manually install a font .ttf in ubuntu? I put it in .fonts and updated my font cache, but they're not showing up? | 19:14 |
| cypher-neo | SlickRickDFW, Gnome fallback mode is similar to Ubuntu pre-11.04 when it used GNOME2 with the Applications menu. | 19:14 |

| salander | what is the command | 19:15 |
| nino | sex | 19:15 |
| _Marcus | salander: Type "/query user". Replace user with the user you want to talk with | 19:16 |

| [snake] | hello, I just installed a game(Halo CE) and when I open it in wine the resolution is too high, how can I fix this? I can't see anything, my monitors limit is 1366x768@60hz | 19:20 |
| cypher-neo | [snake], Open "Configure Wine" and change the monitor resolution | 19:21 |
| cypher-neo | [snake], It would be under "Graphics". You can limit the size of the virtual desktop | 19:22 |
| [snake] | cypher-neo, It didn't work I think the virtual desktop is for icons... instead of placing them(shortcuts) on your gnome desktop. | 19:23 |
| cypher-neo | [snake], I know it works that way, becuase I've used it to limit the desktop size of several other applications of mine. | 19:24 |
| cypher-neo | [snake], And, no, virtual desktop has nothing to do with icons. | 19:24 |
| cypher-neo | Seryth, Have you used the XFCE appfinder? | 19:24 |
| kpas_ | is there a command wherby I can backup my configuration of my ubuntu desktop I am running 11.04 | 19:25 |
| cypher-neo | Seryth, It's kind of like a menu... in expanded mode. | 19:25 |
| kpas_ | for example the packages I installed | 19:25 |
| [snake] | cypher-neo, oh- okay, well I tried a few different that I knew should work and they didn't because the application is not following the rules then. | 19:25 |
| Seryth | cypher-neo: I don't know what app to pick :/ | 19:25 |
| bobweaver | kpas_ you could make a live dvd of your system with something like remastersys or debian live | 19:25 |
| cypher-neo | [snake], You have to restart the application to make the rules stick. | 19:25 |
| [snake] | cypher-neo, I did | 19:26 |
| cypher-neo | [snake], You restarted Halo CE? | 19:26 |
| [snake] | cypher-neo, yeah. | 19:27 |
| kpas_ | well I am gettign rady to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 so I figure the first step would be to just cp my home directory off to another drive | 19:27 |
| === alix_ is now known as salander | ||
| [snake] | cypher-neo, notepad isn't constricted to my smaller virtual desktop either... | 19:28 |
| kpas_ | then see if there is a command just to list what packages I installed just inace I have to wipe my system | 19:28 |
| [snake] | cypher-neo, it works on all areas of my desktop | 19:28 |
| cypher-neo | [snake], But the window size of the Wine program should be fixed. | 19:29 |
| cypher-neo | [snake], And once it's fixed to a certain size it also is smaller. | 19:29 |
| salander | hi all | 19:29 |
| [snake] | cypher-neo, for notepad yes. for halo no. | 19:29 |
| === never2far is now known as Guest33178 | ||
| cypher-neo | [snake], Is there an option within Halo itself to run in a window? | 19:30 |

| rbrooks | hey, which live CD out of all that you know has most complete grub2 bug free etc, Ubuntu i am tempted to think is probably my best bet | 19:41 |
| kpas_ | when upgradeing from 11.04 to 11.10 will you loose gnome desktop? | 19:41 |
| Gentoo64 | rbrooks: any reason you need grub2? | 19:41 |
| rbrooks | i am looking to setup dedicated partition with live cd to maintain it | 19:42 |
| rbrooks | Gentoo64, ^^ | 19:42 |
| rbrooks | and figured that grub2 is far enough along but yeah im not used to it at all | 19:43 |
| recon_lap | not a fan either, but can just hope that as the bugs get worked out that more options for configuring it will get added. | 19:43 |
| cypher-neo | mlc, Have you checked out GNOME Shell? Unity free. | 19:44 |
| Onkeltem | What a nice day! I was recording a screencast using KAZAM for 1 hour. Now after this time spent, I found that kazam stopped recording AUDIO after first pause!!! | 19:44 |
| cypher-neo | mlc, I love GNOME Shell | 19:44 |
| cortman | Gnome shell +1 | 19:44 |
| rbrooks | i am sure idea will work, but it is so cludged together at this point | 19:44 |
| brimlar | Seryth: you probably tried "fc-cache -f -v", eh? | 19:45 |
| Seryth | brimlar: Yup | 19:45 |
| Seryth | brimlar: I put the fonts (.ttf and .pcf) into .fonts, and ran that, but they're not showing up | 19:45 |
| recon_lap | tried gnome shell for a bit, but think it lost me when i could not put a tootbar vertical on the right hand side | 19:45 |
| mlc | cypher-neo: yea gnome-shell and cinnamon is very good | 19:45 |
| cortman | I'm really hoping the cinnamon project gets off the ground. I think there's a lot of potential there. | 19:46 |
| rbrooks | is Ubuntu use systemd? | 19:46 |
| mustafaerhann | is there any software that shows system information like sysinfo:/ | 19:46 |
| mustafaerhann | in ubuntu | 19:47 |

| nsd_ | Hi, I'm having some networking issues with a machine running 10.04. I have an ASUS-USBN10 that uses the r8192s_usb driver, and I have downloaded the latest rtl8192 binary thing from the Debian SVN repository. I had the device working for a short period of time just fine with Network Manager, but I decided to try to configure the device with /etc/network/interfaces and remove network-manager and network-manager-gnome. After being unsuccessful | 19:54 |
| nsd_ | in that., I re-installed network-manager and network-manager-gnome At the the moment, network manager says that the device connects successfully, but I am not able to ping anything on the LAN let alone connect to the outside world. I should note that when I initially had it working, I had eth0 configured with /etc/network/interfaces but not hooked up and I was not able to get it to work without disabling eth0. At present my /etc/network/int | 19:54 |
| nsd_ | erfaces is only managing the loopback device. | 19:54 |
| nsd_ | Sorry for such a long message | 19:54 |
| mustafaerhann | ah sorry | 19:54 |
| mustafaerhann | lol i found that hardware monitor shows sys info to me. | 19:54 |
| nsd_ | Does anyone have any idea why the device would say that it has connected to the router but yet I am not able to connect to anything? | 19:55 |
| recon_lap | nsd_: try using pastebin next time | 19:55 |
| nsd_ | recon_lap: Duly noted, sorry lol | 19:55 |
| lancerforhire | How do I upgrade to pulseaudio 1.0/1.1 on natty? | 19:55 |
| recon_lap | nsd_: try ping the router , see what happens | 19:56 |
| mustafaerhann | nsd can u open web configuration of your connected router modem etc. | 19:56 |
| nsd_ | recon_lap, As I stated I can't ping anything. | 19:56 |
| bobweaver | recon_lap, before grub this time it says that the bios has been "shadowed" <- video and system also gives me a warrining about the time and how it is not correct | 19:56 |
| mlc | nsd_: ipaddress is static or dhcp | 19:56 |
| bobweaver | recon_lap, booting into recovery now | 19:57 |
| bobweaver | recon_lap, I am at the debian recovery menu | 19:57 |
| nsd_ | recon_lap: DHCP | 19:57 |
| brimlar | whois Seryth | 19:57 |
| bobweaver | should I reg boot ? fsck remount root | 19:57 |
| Seryth | eh? | 19:57 |
| Seryth | brimlar: wut? | 19:58 |
| mustafaerhann | excelsior first u have to select your session unity or gnome not 2d or classic gnome cuz they dont compiz or 3d accalerated so u cannot use effects. | 19:58 |
| nsd_ | recon_lap: nmap -sP 192.168.0.1-255 yields nothing, so I can't ping anything. The network mask and IP address given by DHCP seem reasonable. I do not have MAC Address filtering on the router | 19:58 |
| brimlar | Seryth: j/was curious if you were still on | 19:58 |
| Seryth | brimlar: Yeah, I'm googling now :/ | 19:58 |

| lancerforhire | h00k: what was inappropriate? | 20:00 |
| recon_lap | nsd_ if you cant ping the router you are not connected, go back to ifconfig, do a ifconfig ethx down, and a ifconfig eth0 up and see if you get any clues | 20:00 |
| OerHeks | bobweaver, you had bootproblems, so fsck is oke. please watch your language | 20:00 |

| recon_lap | bobweaver: try startx , see what happens | 20:10 |
| bobweaver | sudo poweroff <command not found > | 20:10 |
| ChristopherNg | icewaterman: Yes eventually | 20:10 |
| bobweaver | recon_lap, nope | 20:10 |
| icewaterman | ChristopherNg: how? | 20:10 |
| erd | ChristopherNg: what do you mean "its the good version | 20:10 |
| recon_lap | bob, think it's sudo halt | 20:10 |
| nsd_ | Hmm | 20:10 |
| bobweaver | recon_lap, I even when to updatealternitives --config x-windows managers to make sure that it is not that | 20:10 |
| nsd_ | Anyone know anything about NetworkManager and wireless networking? | 20:11 |
| ChristopherNg | icewaterman: I upgraded and updated | 20:11 |
| bobweaver | sorry about the spelling | 20:11 |
| ChristopherNg | simple as that | 20:11 |

| ubottu | nsd_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 20:11 |
| erd | it gives me this: GStreamer encountered a general supporting library error. | 20:11 |
| icewaterman | ChristopherNg: huh? i am running the latest stable version of ubuntu, so a couple of months ago, that couldnt have been any newer version | 20:11 |
| erd | can anyone here play youtube video on totem player? | 20:11 |
| bobweaver | yes b | 20:11 |
| bobweaver | ^^ | 20:12 |
| ChristopherNg | icewaterman: in that case go back to an lts version and try it there | 20:12 |
| ChristopherNg | the lts is more stable anyway | 20:12 |
| bobweaver | erd do have the plugin installed ? | 20:12 |
| erd | bobweaver: yes of course | 20:12 |
| icewaterman | ChristopherNg: 12.4 is going to be lts, i am going for that one, when its released | 20:12 |
| ChristopherNg | yes | 20:12 |
| bobweaver | erd is it showing up in the drop down ? | 20:13 |
| erd | bobweaver: can you try if you can play youtube video on your totem? if you have it... | 20:13 |

| mputtr | the first time i did | 20:16 |
| bobweaver | well I would check with mine but my com puter is crapped out | 20:16 |
| mputtr | it just jumps straight to windows | 20:16 |
| erd | bobweaver: does python version has to do with it? i mean with totem? | 20:17 |
| erd | or youtube plugin on totem? | 20:17 |
| recon_lap | mputtr: what option did you select for installing ubuntu | 20:17 |
| bobweaver | now what to do ? I am stck at a black screen last thing it says is mountall: disconnected from python | 20:17 |
| bobweaver | erd is it wrote in python ? | 20:18 |
| mputtr | recon_lap: at first i ran ubuntu from usb drive, then i installed ubuntu on hdd. i resized teh hdd half and half | 20:18 |
| erd | ohh ok. so my python version is old? | 20:18 |

| mputtr | then i restarted w/o the usb stick and it goes traight to window. i hit Del on the startup screen and it only shows windows on it | 20:18 |
| bobweaver | erd, here is a scrip[t if you like http://paste.ubuntu.com/844916/ | 20:19 |
| recon_lap | mputter : boot with your usb and look at the partitions , see if windows has actually been re sized and if ubuntu in on the new partition | 20:20 |
| erd | bobweaver: i have no clue what to do with that script... or how to do it | 20:20 |
| mputtr | the hdd is partitioned. and on ubuntu there's a drive that's called system reserve | 20:20 |
| bobweaver | So what do I do ? I am stuck at a screen that I can not type in | 20:21 |
| mputtr | im assuming the system reserve is ubuntu installed? | 20:21 |
| bobweaver | erd open browser let video load run script look in videos folder | 20:21 |
| erd | is it better to update python to whatch youtube videos on totem or update the whole OS | 20:21 |

| recon_lap | bobweaver: do you have a live cd or usb? | 20:22 |
| erd | ok thank you guys. | 20:22 |
| bobweaver | recon_lap, yup I hand them out down town | 20:22 |
| bobweaver | also update-alternatives --config x-window-manager is correct | 20:23 |
| mputtr | i'm reinstalling the ubuntu files right now.. after its done i'll have to figure out what i have to do next | 20:23 |
| icewaterman | ChristopherNg: fyi: killing krfb once did the trick. session management restored it everytime i logged out with it already running. but no more | 20:23 |
| bobweaver | sweet I pressed the powerbutton and it worked | 20:23 |
| dejahthoris | spanner3003 | for starters, you'd probably disable the onboard sound somewhere in the bios, if you have that option | 20:24 |
| recon_lap | bobweaver: been too long since i messed around with this stuff, everything been just working so well for me for years | 20:24 |
| spanner3003 | on i'v looked | 20:24 |
| bobweaver | that is great | 20:24 |
| bobweaver | but I have a powerpoint that I have to do | 20:24 |
| ganimede | why ubuntu 11.10 doesnt recognize my 2 monitors? | 20:25 |
| bobweaver | plymouth worked then crashedd | 20:25 |
| bobweaver | for like 2 sec | 20:25 |
| recon_lap | bobweaver: i'm thinking you may have hdd issues | 20:25 |
| ganimede | I have slightly customized it, with the latest nvidia drivers and the desktop cube | 20:25 |
| spanner3003 | oh yes and it's ubuntu 11.10 i'm on | 20:25 |

| bobweaver | I will boot I am going to try to take out the harddrive put it in my extrenal hardrive reader and run some tests against it | 20:26 |
| recon_lap | bobweaver: use a live CD, the examine the hard drive | 20:27 |
| dejahthoris | spanner3003; was the external usb sound card turned on when you booted ubuntu? | 20:27 |
| bobweaver | recon_lap, will do booting it now | 20:27 |
| recon_lap | bobweaver: see if it will mount, if so are the files all there, if so are there any oddness in the start up files | 20:27 |
| spanner3003 | no just pluged it in it is recognised though | 20:28 |
| bobweaver | xinit: server error | 20:28 |

| benfrancis | I just bought a MacBook Pro 8,1, hoping to dual boot it with Ubuntu. According to this wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2/Oneiric#CDDVD it pretty much works out of the box but I'm having problems. Does anyone know whether Ubuntu supports this model yet? | 20:30 |
| benfrancis | I get "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" when booting the installation CD | 20:30 |
| === [[__]] is now known as [adrian] | ||
| hylian | benfrancis, that sounds like the cd is either damaged or not being read properly... hmmm | 20:31 |

| kriestof | hi, when I try to configure console-data I get "Unknown set of unicode characters". | 20:31 |

| kriestof | Seryth: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 20:32 |
| mlc | Seryth: the best is if you open a second tty and start stop your displaymanager | 20:32 |
| bobweaver | Seryth, what version of ubuntu | 20:33 |
| hylian | benfrancis, hmm, another option would be to find another ubuntu user or computer, and run unetbootin, and have it transfer the contents to a thumb drive in fat32 format.. | 20:33 |
| dejahthoris | spanner3003; that means ubuntu is all set to use your new usb sound card. | 20:33 |

| spanner3003 | i can't | 20:35 |

| bobweaver | sorry I do not know that much about ubuntu one | 20:43 |
| Walrus__ | You mean the terminal doesn't have a man in there telling me how to use it?? | 20:43 |
| DoctorD | and of course, being an ubuntu user doesn't mean you must be gay :)) | 20:43 |
| thevaliantx | klync, if you helps you to know, i'm not gay (but not straight, either, lol), and no i wasn't joking about anyone else's sexuality (actually the correct term is sexual orientation). but, thanks for the link, i appreciate it ;) | 20:44 |

| theadmin | thevaliantx: "man" is a Linux command, short for MANual | 20:44 |

| recon_lap | if/of | 21:03 |
| bobweaver | recon_lap, the reason I ask is I am going to give you a good review if you do | 21:03 |

| jhk | Hey guys, I have a Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 video card. It works fine in Windows and I did a stress test on it just to make sure. I have updated to the latest Nvidia drivers in Ubuntu. After about 1-2 hours in X, it just freezes and the screen starts getting all pixelated and everything. I'm not sure what the issue is. Any ideas? | 21:05 |
| terminhell | i guess, someone....commented them out...? | 21:05 |
| dejahthoris | jhk; maybe it's overheating? | 21:06 |
| jhk | Yeah, that was what I was thinking. However, I ran a video card stress test in Windows and it went fine after an hour. | 21:07 |
| plusEV | jhk: sounds like heat issues yes, | 21:07 |
| jhk | The video card does not have a fan, just a heatsink. | 21:07 |
| dejahthoris | jhk; you can add a fan | 21:07 |
| plusEV | jhk: it might be tghe motherboard to. Is it a optimus card? | 21:08 |
| meskarune | jhk: in the mean time, use less graphics heavy aplications. turn off compiz if you have it, turn off composistioning, etc | 21:08 |
| jhk | Yeah, it is not meant to have one though. I was thinking it was the video card for a long time with overheating but then it worked fine in Windows so now I'm stumped. | 21:08 |
| jhk | Yeah, I went to appearance and changed it to none for visual effects. | 21:08 |
| Seryth | My sound isn't working. I normally use pulseaudio, but I don't hear anything? I've looked in the xfce volume control settings thing, and all I see is a "Dummy pulseaudio" thing...what's taht? My other options have gone tooo :/ | 21:09 |
| mystMan_ | how do i create a symlink for a file? is it just directories or can i do files too | 21:09 |
| Seryth | too* | 21:09 |
| jhk | Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 | 21:09 |
| recon_lap | jhk: well, ubuntu has had problems with fan's and heat sensors on some hardware | 21:09 |
| jhk | Currently the temp is 48C. | 21:09 |
| mystMan_ | i have a file at /Asset/adminhtml/layout/asset.xml and want it to link into /design/adminhtml/default/default/layout | 21:09 |
| dejahthoris | jhk; if you have a thermometer, you could wait until the video goes bad and then take a reading of the heatsink's real temp | 21:09 |
| kriestof | how to set all tty on startup like with setupcon? | 21:10 |
| recon_lap | mystMan_: right click on the file, select create link, and copy the link to where you want. | 21:10 |
| jhk | I'm like 75 percent sure it is a hardware issues so I can probably do a warranty RMA, but the working in Windows thing stumped me. | 21:10 |
| dejahthoris | jhk; when it goes bad, does the heatsink get hot to the touch? | 21:11 |
| meskarune | mystMan_: you can link 2 files by doing "ln /Asset/adminhtml/layout/asset.xml /design/adminhtml/default/default/layout" make sure to put in full paths | 21:12 |

| Simon1245 | Hey guys, can I increase my ubuntu partition somehow without having to reinstall or losing something? | 21:16 |
| meskarune | DexterF: if you want to run linux from usb I woudn't suggest using ubuntu. maybe something smaller and meant to be run from usb | 21:16 |
| h00k | Simon1245: sure, you can boot from a live disk/USB and do it that way with gparted | 21:17 |

| Simon1245 | h00k, I can do it directly while being on it aswell or? Also is it easy to use? | 21:17 |
| dejahthoris | DexterF; what about a usb-to-ata adapter and a standard full-sized hardrive? | 21:17 |
| meskarune | DexterF: why don't you just ask the IT department to dual boot linux for you on the laptop? | 21:17 |
| h00k | Simon1245: not while the partitions are mounted | 21:17 |
| mystMan_ | i need to set up dual boot on my laptop | 21:17 |

| rahul__bansal | how to get information about what different modules do in linux? | 21:18 |
| DexterF | Sefid_par: they're pretty much all the same. get the cheapest, when it dies (usually a month after warranty ran out) get a new one | 21:19 |
| dejahthoris | Sefid_par; I don't know which is *most* reliable, but my Plextor 740uf has been pretty good over the years | 21:19 |

| meskarune | DexterF: but you should seriously consider asking IT if it is ok first. the hardware doesn't belong to you :P | 21:20 |

| OerHeks | jhk yes | 21:21 |
| EvilResistance | jhk: ^ | 21:21 |
| vadi2 | Is it better to have the wrap partition at the start or the end of the drive? Whenever my Ubuntu has to swap even 200mb, it *dies* for 5mins while it does it, and nothing else is usable. | 21:21 |
| jhk | :) In update manager it is only allowing me the option to upgrade to 12.04 and not 11.10...any ideas? | 21:22 |
| Sefid_par | What is the most reliable software for burning CD/DVDs? | 21:22 |
| OerHeks | ehh jhk no, beta within 2 weeks, feature freeze is done. | 21:22 |
| cfhowlett | vadi2 shouldn't matter where it's put | 21:22 |
| terminhell | brasero usually does the job for simple stuff | 21:22 |
| DexterF | vadi2: it seems to be doing somethign else, unless you run a 486 | 21:22 |
| cfhowlett | jhk 12.04 has NOT been released | 21:22 |
| vadi2 | no, it's only related to swap. It is terribly and frustratingly unusable when it does that. UI freezes and all that jazz. | 21:22 |
| jhk | How can I just upgrade to 11.10 with update manager. | 21:23 |
| vadi2 | Swap 500mb and I might as well hard-reset it, because it'll take 10mins to finish. | 21:23 |
| EvilResistance | jhk: what are you on right now? | 21:23 |
| DexterF | vadi2: tell me abit about the hardware. what type of computer, desktop, laptop? how much ram? what hard disk? | 21:23 |
| vadi2 | laptop, 4gb ram, HDD | 21:23 |
| jhk | 10.04 LTS | 21:23 |
| vadi2 | rightnow 3.2gb used and yet it put 1gb into swap | 21:23 |
| DexterF | vadi2: laptop brand/model? | 21:23 |
| rahul__bansal | terminhell: actually i want a list which can tell me what each module do...i want to unload some modules , so i want to be sure of each module.. | 21:23 |
| DexterF | vadi2: hdd size? | 21:24 |
| vadi2 | system76 serval, 250gb | 21:24 |
| EvilResistance | jhk: you'd have to do an incremental upgrade: lucid -> maverick, then maverick -> natty, then natty -> oneiric. there's a huge possibility that things will go wrong with this method though | 21:24 |
| terminhell | what are the modules in question | 21:24 |
| dejahthoris | vadi2; the end of a hdd is usually the inside and the slowest. but you usually can't put the swap at the beginning. If you can stand having your ubuntu split into two partitions, having the swap in the middle is usually considered a realistic best | 21:24 |
| Gskellig | I can't fix the date/time on my ubuntu server | 21:24 |
| EvilResistance | jhk: lucid's still supported, you can wait for 12.04 LTS and then upgrade directly, iirc... | 21:24 |
| jhk | Crap. | 21:24 |
| vadi2 | Oh hm. | 21:24 |
| DexterF | dejahthoris: outer parts of the disk have the most angular velocity and thus the fastest speeds | 21:24 |
| vadi2 | Odd thought, but would deframenting help? I know ext4 doesn't require it, but it's possible to do that | 21:24 |
| jhk | Oh okay. I'm thinking that it will fix my video issue. I guess not. | 21:25 |
| kpas_ | mustafaerhann, but what are looking to monitor | 21:25 |
| kpas_ | oops | 21:25 |
| dejahthoris | DexterF; on most harddrives the outside is the beginning | 21:25 |
| kpas_ | wrong screen | 21:25 |
| okibi | My fresh (but fully updated) install of 11.10 is mounting all external drives (tried three drives, one ext2 and two NTFS) as read-only. Even manual mounting through sudo with a -w option mounts them read-only. I'm having a hard time searching for solutions because of google noise with those keywords. | 21:25 |
| EvilResistance | jhk: what video issue? you can ask for support with individual issues here too you know\ | 21:25 |
| DexterF | dejahthoris: beg to differ | 21:25 |
| jhk | It was the freezing issue after about 1-2 hours. | 21:25 |
| jhk | Other people in the room just said it was overheating. | 21:26 |
| meskarune | okibi: did you have the ext2 drive mounted in another linux install? perhaps the permissions of the files need to be changed | 21:26 |
| DexterF | vadi2: so a farely recent machine. what do you typcially use that triggers swaps like 200MB and how do you measure so precisely? | 21:26 |
| DexterF | I run a server with 8g ram and no swap at all, works a charm | 21:26 |
| okibi | meskarune: My other linux box (Ubuntu 9.x) mounts all these drives without issue. | 21:26 |
| terminhell | okibi: you may have to add your user to the usb group, and make sure dbus-launch is in your .xinitrc exec-session line | 21:26 |
| terminhell | okibi: *storage* group | 21:27 |
| okibi | terminhell: These drives were previously mounting just fine. Changed after a reboot. I will check that, though, - thanks | 21:27 |
| vadi2 | DexterF: I have an indicator that shows me my ram and swap usage. Opening virtualbox with chrome open can trigger it, or opening another chrome profile would as well (I had to split my workload into different profiles, because I'm just running out of ram... even with everything closed, Ubuntu uses 1.5+gb ram) | 21:27 |
| share | hi. just to let you know that Ubuntu didn't notify the reboot after nvidia driver update .. | 21:27 |
| jhk | Is there any stress programs that can stress video cards in ubuntu? | 21:27 |
| meskarune | okibi: so its probably something to do with permissions. you need to mount those drives in your other linux box, and then have the permissions changed to rw for all | 21:28 |
| DexterF | vadi2: vbox gust has how much ram? | 21:28 |
| DexterF | *guest | 21:28 |
| vadi2 | DexterF: 512 | 21:28 |
| DexterF | vadi2: used any fancy filesystem for / ? | 21:28 |
| okibi | meskarune: I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the idea. | 21:28 |
| kion | jhk try glxgears | 21:28 |
| DexterF | vadi2: dm-crypt? | 21:29 |
| vadi2 | DexterF: no, not at all. I think it is ext4 | 21:29 |
| okibi | meskarune: Also, why are you so cool? | 21:29 |
| vadi2 | I do have full disk encryption. | 21:29 |
| DexterF | vadi2: aha! | 21:29 |
| vadi2 | So encyption + io = kills it? | 21:29 |
| DexterF | vadi2: you used ubuntu's encryption or somehting 3rd party like truecrypt? | 21:29 |
| vadi2 | I used ubuntu's setup. | 21:29 |
| DexterF | vadi2: 11.10? | 21:29 |
| vadi2 | Yes | 21:29 |
| DexterF | vadi2: regular hdd or ssd? | 21:30 |
| vadi2 | regular hdd | 21:30 |
| ganimede | is there a forum, mailing list, or other to report feedbacks on ubuntu precise alpha 2? | 21:30 |

| ganimede | thanks ubottu | 21:31 |
| DexterF | vadi2: well, my guess: unless dm-crypt is not transparent it might gather larger chunks than the filesystem and thus swaps bigger chunks than the memory management can easily hande. but that's all shots in the dark to be honest. since you're setup sounds otherwise sane that's my prime suspect. | 21:32 |
| kion | Does anybody know how to get some nice desktop effects on ubuntu? seems I lost all I had with the introduction of Unity. | 21:32 |
| DexterF | vadi2: checking the mailing list archives or maybe even filing a bug report might help | 21:32 |
| vadi2 | Alright, I'll try. | 21:32 |
| DexterF | vadi2: or of course try and decrypt (a hassle, I know). is swap encrypted, too? | 21:33 |
| DexterF | vadi2: does dm-crypt require LVM? | 21:33 |
| vadi2 | swap isn't, but I did enable zram on it (compression), because something is just eating my memory and I frequently run low even during browser use only | 21:33 |
| vadi2 | I'm not certain. | 21:34 |

| mputtr | i'm trying to learn linux, what else should i install that will get me to learn more about linux | 21:41 |
| vadi2 | okay, so uninstalling "zramswap-enabler - Use RAM compression instead of swap", will see if it's fine then. Though I installed it to begin with because my 4gb ram was just melting away | 21:41 |
| vadi2 | I have a pci slot... not sure what is a cardbus | 21:41 |

| share | I need ir-keytable for Ubuntu Maverick | 21:45 |
| share | where can I find it | 21:45 |
| Gskellig | DexterF, I am using sudo btw, I have also tried running it as root | 21:45 |
| rahul__bansal | recon69_lap: I tried but asking for password(level 15)...seem i don't have permission | 21:45 |
| Gskellig | for some reason I still get operation not permitted | 21:45 |
| DexterF | Gskellig: beyond me. you could try and run strace on it, write output to a file with -o and grep that for OPEN calls, see what it accesses | 21:46 |
| recon69_lap | rahul__bansal: try with a blank password, if that dont work have a look for the manual that came with the router | 21:46 |
| DexterF | Gskellig: version? | 21:46 |
| Gskellig | 11.04 | 21:47 |
| Gskellig | strace? I'm not sure how to do that | 21:47 |
| OerHeks | GsKellig sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | 21:47 |
| Gskellig | tried that as well | 21:47 |
| DexterF | Gskellig: pretty easy: strace -o somefile.txt <command> | 21:47 |
| recon69_lap | rahul__bansal: if you never set a password it's possible that someone has hi-jacked your router :) | 21:47 |

| no_gravity | Good Evening! Where does wine install its programms these days? I installed Google Adwords Editor lately and it runs fine. But now I wanted to start it again and its not in /home/me/.wine./drive_c/... | 21:48 |
| Gskellig | oh I got tzdata to work | 21:48 |
| recon69_lap | rahul__bansal: ok, well why would you want to see who connected to the institute's routers, it's private info i would think | 21:49 |
| Gskellig | wouldn't run under sudo but it ran as root | 21:49 |
| Gskellig | thanks OerHeks and DexterF | 21:49 |
| meskarune | no_gravity: you can use the locate command to find stuff. :) "locate google" | 21:49 |
| DexterF | Gskellig: uh.. how do you root then? did you set a passwd for root? | 21:49 |
| mputtr | ok phew | 21:49 |
| mputtr | ok. i'm going to read up and just install stuff as i go | 21:50 |
| rahul__bansal | recon69_lap: just want to see if my friends machine is up.. but i can always get all ip which are up on lan.. | 21:50 |
| no_gravity | meskarune: holy shit, that works. that means a db of my files if floating around somewhere on my harddisk and some index deamon eats up my cpu cycles regularely? | 21:50 |
| rahul__bansal | recon69_lap: ip addresses don | 21:50 |
| meskarune | no_gravity: it only updates the database when you restart or do "updatedb" so its not using system resources. :P | 21:51 |
| rahul__bansal | recon69_lap: ip address don't let me distinguish machines.. therefore i need user names. | 21:51 |
| no_gravity | and where does it store its stuff? | 21:51 |
| meskarune | no_gravity: and it only updates new stuff, it doesn't rescan everything. linux is much better with file management | 21:51 |

| jetole | Hey guys. I'm on 10.04. I added a group and then added myself into this group quite some time ago, Months ago. I have rebooted the system several times since then and looked at the groups file which looks fine but when I start a new terminal in gnome terminal and run id, it doesn't show me as being a memeber of this group and I can't execute a program which is suid and can only be executed by owner (root) and members of this group | 21:53 |
| zuhaitz | Hi, I installed Windows 7 and I gave 100 gB for Linux Ubuntu installation, but now I just boot Linux Ubuntu and when I am going to make the partition it only show me the entire HD without the NTFS and free partitions, why? help please | 21:53 |
| recon69_lap | rahul__bansal: well, it's really up to you friend if he wants to broadcast hi status on the lan, should not be possible for you to find out without him setting something up on this machine | 21:53 |
| jetole | does anyone know why this might be happening that I'm not in this group? | 21:53 |
| DexterF | Seryth: no menu to select different sound cards? | 21:53 |
| DexterF | dropdown or so? | 21:53 |
| Seryth | DeathWolf: Yes, but only two 'dummys' | 21:54 |

| DexterF | zuhaitz: how big is the disk? | 21:54 |
| zuhaitz | 300gB | 21:54 |
| meskarune | jetole: can you re-add yourself to the group? maybe an update over wrote the file somehow | 21:54 |

| Firebolt | Anyone know how to make qt-at-spi not assert errors and then kill your program in 11.10? | 21:56 |
| meskarune | jetole: no, over wrote the sudoers file | 21:56 |
| DexterF | zuhaitz: gpart scans disks for partitions. that win7 isnt encrypted? | 21:57 |
| meskarune | jetole: all permissions are in sudoers :P | 21:57 |
| DexterF | Seryth: what sound card? | 21:57 |
| jetole | meskarune: no this is not something I am running via sudo | 21:57 |
| Seryth | nVidia nForce something DexterF. It worked fine before today :/ | 21:57 |
| zuhaitz | DeathWolf, is not | 21:57 |
| DexterF | Seryth: onboard? | 21:57 |
| zuhaitz | DeathWolf, I think is not... | 21:58 |
| jetole | meskarune: also, "all permissions are in sudoers" doesn't make sense. It's a suid file which means I don't need to run sudo to run it as root | 21:58 |
| Seryth | DexterF: I don't know....I think so. | 21:58 |
| zuhaitz | DeathWolf, I just installed Windows 7 just for work issues (A. Premiere etc)... | 21:58 |
| jetole | meskarune: by suid I mean setuid | 21:58 |
| meskarune | jetole: there is a text file with all user permissions in it | 21:58 |
| harry12 | hi all. i installed latest ubuntu on a hp pavillion dv 6700. amd dual, nvidia Geforce 7150m, 4 gb ram etc. dvd drive not working, hardware problems. i am dual booting with win7. so latest grub its here. | 21:58 |
| DexterF | Seryth: hm. try alsamixer from console (install if not there), see if that says the same. else I'd say maybe a pulse glitch, #pulseaudio might be worth a shot | 21:59 |
| Seryth | zuhaitz: How many times are you gonna get DexterF's nick wrong? :P | 21:59 |
| jetole | meskarune: and sudoers has nothing to do with why I wouldn't exist in a group. The sudoers file is isolated entirely to the use of the sudo command and similar commands that perform sudo actions | 21:59 |
| jetole | meskarune: what file are you talking about? | 21:59 |
| Seryth | DexterF: Tried alsamixer, I get this error: seryth@ubuntujacob:~$ alsamixer | 21:59 |
| Seryth | cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 21:59 |
| jetole | meskarune: I'm pretty sure there is no file with all users permissions in it | 21:59 |
| DexterF | Seryth: talks to me? :D | 21:59 |
| harry12 | the problem is that after selecting ubuntu on grub screen all i see is purpule colored screen. thats it. it does not load the OS | 21:59 |
| Seryth | DexterF: :D lol | 21:59 |
| Firebolt | I get "ASSERT: "interface->childCount() == children.count()" in file adaptor.cpp, line 200" when I try to run Skype and a few other Qt-based programs | 21:59 |
| jetole | meskarune: I appreciate the help but I think this question may be above your level of knowledge | 22:00 |
| DexterF | Seryth: didnt notice, client colors my nick! zuhaitz , yo <- | 22:00 |
| zuhaitz | Seryth, You are right :) | 22:00 |
| zuhaitz | Sorry! | 22:00 |
| harry12 | the trick for now is to CTRL+ALT+DEL than on the second time choosing ubuntu recovery | 22:00 |
| zuhaitz | Im gonna try with gparted and after install? | 22:01 |
| DexterF | zuhaitz: nuh-uh! gpart! not gparted. well, actually, gparted is worth a shot, too, come to think of it | 22:01 |
| meskarune | jetole: i guess its an arch thing :? | 22:01 |
| Seryth | DexterF, zuhaitz: :P | 22:01 |
| harry12 | i see some output i dont understand and than it drops me on (initramfs) there, i give "exit" and finally it start load the OS | 22:01 |
| jetole | Does anyone know why I am set as a member of a group but when I start a terminal via gnome terminal the id command doesn't show me in that group however when I log in via tty1 the id command shows me in that group | 22:01 |
| harry12 | what is this caused from | 22:02 |
| nxn | hello everybody. Somebody into helping solving a resolution problem on Ubuntu 11.10? | 22:02 |
| jetole | meskarune: arch thing? what? There is no file on a Linux system on any arch that contains all permissions for users | 22:02 |
| meskarune | jetole: there is a config file with what groups users have and what the permissions those groups have | 22:02 |
| jetole | meskarune: no there isn't | 22:02 |
| meskarune | yes there is | 22:02 |
| jetole | what file? | 22:02 |
| meskarune | jetole: arch linux I mean | 22:02 |
| jetole | ah I see | 22:02 |
| jetole | still no | 22:02 |
| DexterF | zuhaitz: sound like the partition table is somewhat odd.. or the disk layout. but 300gb, thats a laptop disk, no ssd, right? | 22:02 |
| Memran | oh man, Xming and putty are awesome, when I am forced to use windoze :) | 22:02 |
| meskarune | jetole: arch linux is more similar to bsd so it might be a bsd thing too | 22:02 |
| zuhaitz | DexterF, is a PC | 22:02 |
| meskarune | jetole: I'm at work now though so I can't grep it. :P | 22:03 |
| zuhaitz | Gparted dont show anything .. Happen the same | 22:03 |
| jetole | under all Linux on all distros, kernels and architectures the file for what groups a user is in is /etc/group with the primary group being listed in /etc/passwd. That has nothing to do with arch Linux | 22:03 |
| === ZzZZZzzzZZZZzz is now known as JermBob | ||
| DexterF | zuhaitz: with 300gb disk? raided a antique store? ;) | 22:03 |
| zuhaitz | no... | 22:03 |
| meskarune | jetole: arch linux uses bsd style init configs | 22:03 |
| zuhaitz | Is a cheap machine with 4gB RAM, Nvidia geforce 315 and Celeron CPU | 22:03 |
| jetole | meskarune: no that same rule also applies to openbsd and freebsd. Probably all BSD's and I think maybe even all Unix but don't know quote me on all Unix | 22:03 |
| jetole | meskarune: and? | 22:03 |

| Guest37832 | ty | 22:05 |
| stanman246 | how do i upgrade thunderbird to v 10? on 11.10? | 22:05 |
| jetole | meskarune: Arch Linux stores which groups a user is in in the file /etc/group and the primary group in /etc/passwd. Most if not all BSD do the same. There are no permissions that can be set in either of these files so if you say arch Linux has some magical file where all groups and permissions are set then you are wrong | 22:05 |
| DexterF | Guest37832: enjoy your visit :D no mods at all :) | 22:05 |
| Guest37832 | there are mods if i cant use caps :) | 22:05 |
| Seryth | stanman246: I'm so tempted to say "sudo rm -rf /" :P Don't do that <--- will destroy you | 22:05 |
| Gskellig | sorry DexterF I left for a bit. when I did sudo dpkg-reconfigrue tzdata it did not work but I ran it as root user and it worked | 22:05 |
| meskarune | jetole: not set, stored so you can see who has who easily and quickly | 22:05 |
| zuhaitz | Ah, gparted launched from console said: /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. however, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesnt understand GPT partition tables. Or Perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. | 22:06 |
| Gskellig | no idea why | 22:06 |
| rbrooks | Guest30702, WELCOME TO UBUNTU | 22:06 |
| DexterF | Gskellig: well - how did you become root? sudo bash? | 22:06 |
| Gskellig | sudo su | 22:06 |
| zuhaitz | DexterF, | 22:06 |
| Gskellig | same thing pretty much lol | 22:06 |
| Memran | aw! no tomcat7 package in my 10.04LTS distro :( | 22:06 |
| stanman246 | Seryth, don't be posting that, what if someone wreckes his os | 22:06 |
| Seryth | stanman246: Then they're stupid for not reading my message. I said don't run it... | 22:07 |
| DexterF | zuhaitz: tough luck. fscking with the part table will make win7 unhappy, my guess | 22:07 |
| zuhaitz | DexterF, I did the partitions with Windpws 7 installation DVD, so I dont understand why happen this, Windows 7 boots OK | 22:07 |
| jetole | meskarune: arch Linux, also like all other Linux has file owners and file groups and permission bits set on each file for how the owner can access it, how the user can access it and how everyone else can access it and like every other Linux it also supports the setuid bit on files. Arch can't disable this if they want to unless they are no longer a Linux distro. Maybe if they become Arch BeOS os something then they won't have to rely on the standard ... | 22:07 |
| jetole | ... Linux ACL system | 22:07 |
| Guest37832 | im sorry i was wondering...since i have only 1gb of ram... what can i do to make ubuntu lighter? | 22:07 |
| zuhaitz | DexterF, What can I do | 22:07 |
| zuhaitz | DexterF, Why happened this? | 22:07 |
| Memran | can you guys on 10.10 or higher, take a peek in your repo list for tomcat7 please? | 22:07 |
| jetole | meskarune: but my point is if I am added to a group in /etc/group on each Linux then I am in that group no matter what. Same thing on FreeBSD and OpenBSD | 22:07 |
| cfhowlett | Guest37832 lubuntu xubuntu are both lightweight distros for lower specification machines | 22:07 |
| meskarune | jetole: I never said arch linux didn't have groups and file ownership. I don't know why you are ranting about nothing :P | 22:08 |
| TheMaster | There is some test here. | 22:08 |
| stanman246 | Seryth, lol, so I saw | 22:08 |
| DexterF | zuhaitz: weeeeell: before you mess with the table, back it up: grab a usb stick, do: dd if=/dev/sda of=/path(to/stick/mbr.backup bs=512 count=1 | 22:08 |
| Guest37832 | i would like to keep ubuntu...but make change some setings(graphics or so) that make it lighter | 22:08 |

| Memran | thanks | 22:09 |
| rbrooks | zuhaitz, what are u trying to accomplish? | 22:09 |
| DexterF | zuhaitz: then try and repair it, install linux, then see if you're lucky and grub boots that win7 or if ms is smart enough meanwhile to handle resintalling botched boot loaders. whcih I doubt, since they are a dork company. | 22:09 |
| Banish | where can i seek help on flash player? | 22:09 |
| jetole | meskarune: you said there is one file where you can see who has is in what groups, who has permission to access what, etc. You initially said it was /etc/sudoers and you were relating to my problem of my user not being in a group and you've crossed a lot of unrelated boundaries about my problem while stating some blatent inaccuracies so I'm just correcting you. If you didn't want to hear it then when I had said thank you but I don't think you ... | 22:09 |
| jetole | ... understand then you should have left it at that | 22:10 |
| zuhaitz | DexterF, But I cant install linux | 22:10 |
| nxn | ubuntu 11.10. lightdm.conf pointed towards scripts with xrandr. scripts work if executed in terminal. While logging scripts do not work, even more leave me on the login screen. Any ideas appreciated? | 22:10 |
| zuhaitz | I need to make partitions before and Linux cant see the partitions that I just have now | 22:10 |
| DexterF | zuhaitz: well, backup mbr from live cd and then fix it from live cd, too. then when the table is readable to linux, install linux | 22:10 |
| zuhaitz | instalator program and gparted show only the HD, not the NFTS partitions neither free partition | 22:10 |

| harry7 | i will now thanks | 22:15 |
| DexterF | zuhaitz: outta ideas. I'd try and run google with "gpt win7" or so. my win7 here was ok, same procedure, then again, who knows, maybe I saw sth and overrode it. (overrode? sounds odd) | 22:16 |
| cfhowlett | DexterF gptsynch allows gpt and mbr to co-exist | 22:16 |
| zuhaitz | cfhowlett, in english, please xD | 22:17 |
| zuhaitz | cfhowlett, talk me like If I was really stupid xD | 22:17 |
| lukescharf | zuhaitz: I'm just catching up on the conversation. You're saying that you're creating partitions, but you can't see them? | 22:18 |
| zuhaitz | cfhowlett, What could I try? | 22:18 |
| ganimede | harry7: download the latest drivers from nvidia | 22:18 |
| lukescharf | What does cat /proc/partitions show? | 22:18 |
| flagg0204 | when using preseed files for automated installation is it possible to use a custome location for a users homedirectroy, during the account creation part | 22:18 |

| kraz3d | Okay, so if I have a AVI file on my system and I'd like to be able to openly stream it if someone were to access http://myip/file.avi -- how would I go about this? | 22:18 |

| zuhaitz | lukescharf, Well, I am a Linux user, and I -need- Windows 7 for my work, ok, then I installed Windows 7 and used Windows 7 partition program (from the installer) and left free 100gB for Linux, now Linux Ubuntu installer cant see my partitions, not NTFS neither free partition so I cant install, and If I install I'll loose Win7 | 22:19 |
| cfhowlett | zuhaitz first: gptscyh is a utility commonly used by multibooters for installing OSX and Ubuntu on the same HDD. It addresses the different bootup structure. sudo apt-get install to get gptsync. Then you invoke it at the command line. IT REWRITES THE MBR... | 22:20 |
| lukescharf | So, you're seeing this from the LiveCD? | 22:20 |
| lukescharf | So, you're seeing this from LiveCD or Installer -- rather than from a running Linux system? | 22:21 |
| sals | is there on this server PHP related channel? | 22:21 |
| zuhaitz | lukescharf, yes | 22:21 |
| === beboj_ is now known as beboj | ||
| zuhaitz | lukescharf, I want to install Linux with Windows in the same machine, I have Win7 and now I cant install Linux because I cant see partitions, so If I change that Ill loose data | 22:21 |
| lukescharf | Zuhaitz: Does your system have a RAID controller? | 22:21 |
| dejahthoris | zuhaitz; if you've got the live cd running, what happens if you bring up a terminal windows and type "fdisk /dev/da0" | 22:21 |
| cfhowlett | zuhaitz I created USB ubuntu, installed gptsync, sync'd my HDD and haven't had boot problem since. | 22:21 |
| cypher-neo | cfhowlett, Does gptscyh work for Ubuntu + Windows installs as well? | 22:22 |
| zuhaitz | cfhowlett, is that in reposotories? | 22:22 |
| lukescharf | Zuhaitz: You're setting a dual-boot machine. The Windows installation is done, and you're working on the Linux installation? | 22:22 |
| kellyanne | Whats wrong with working at home? Are you threathened? my sister-inlaw makes $46 every hour on the computer. She has been out of work for 7 months but last month her pay was $5203 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read more on this google link.. http://tinyurl.com/7ftokq3 | 22:22 |
| cfhowlett | windows on GUID/GPT? *SHOULD* work | 22:22 |
| dejahthoris | zuhaitz; sorry I meant ad0 | 22:22 |
| cypher-neo | cfhowlett, Also, I don't see gptscyh in the repositories | 22:22 |
| zuhaitz | hey | 22:22 |
| zuhaitz | I can see partitions with fdisk | 22:23 |
| meskarune | don't spam kellyanne | 22:23 |
| zuhaitz | fdisk /dev/sda and I have 2 partitions | 22:23 |
| zuhaitz | NTFS | 22:23 |
| cfhowlett | zuhaitz gptsync in in the universe repos | 22:23 |
| zuhaitz | cfhowlett, is normal that fdisk can see the partitions and not gparted? | 22:23 |
| ipso | I just recently upgraded KVM in Ubuntu and when I try to start one of my Windows VMs (works fine with a Linux VM) I get the error: pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "pxe-e1000.rom" however the file exists here: /usr/share/qemu/pxe-e1000.bin . Anyone know how I can fix this? | 22:23 |
| cfhowlett | zuhaitz not in my experience... | 22:24 |
| dejahthoris | zuhaitz; as long as fdisk can see the partitions, you can still install | 22:24 |
| zuhaitz | dejahthoris, gparted cant see partitions | 22:24 |
| dejahthoris | zuhaitz; you can use fdisk to create the partitions | 22:24 |
| zuhaitz | no | 22:24 |
| zuhaitz | DOS Compatibility flag is set (DEPRECATED!) | 22:24 |
| lukescharf | (Zuhaitz: As an aside, I prefer to use VirtualBox and CrossoverOffice for Windows-only apps. Still want to help you get the dual-boot system running, though.) | 22:25 |
| zuhaitz | that is fdisk when I write "c" | 22:25 |
| dejahthoris | zuhaitz; yes you can create partition(s) with fdisk | 22:25 |
| harry7 | ganimede: can you tell me how to install the latest drivers from nvidia? i have currently 280.13 | 22:25 |
| zuhaitz | lukescharf, editing and rendering FULL HD video in a virtual machine is ... a bad option :) | 22:25 |
| ganimede | i have 290 | 22:25 |
| zuhaitz | dejahthoris, fdisk dont let me: | 22:25 |
| zuhaitz | DOS Compatibility flag is set (DEPRECATED!) | 22:25 |
| cfhowlett | zuhaitz agreed | 22:25 |
| ganimede | let me see if i still have the page | 22:25 |
| zuhaitz | anyway fdisk can see the 2 NTFS and gparted cant | 22:25 |
| dejahthoris | zuhaitz; you can still create a partition despite it giving that warning | 22:26 |
| lukescharf | Zuhaitz: Indeed -- I didn't realize that was your use-case. | 22:26 |
| dejahthoris | zuhaitz; fine then. don't belive me and never install ubuntu | 22:27 |
| zuhaitz | i made new partition | 22:27 |
| zuhaitz | an extended partition | 22:27 |
| zuhaitz | fdisk now find 2 NTFS and new partition and gparted cant | 22:28 |
| zuhaitz | :( | 22:28 |
| meskarune | harry7: you can download the latest drivesr from nvidia's website: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and then compile them using the readme file inside the archive | 22:28 |
| lukescharf | zuhaits: Do you see the primary NTFS partition that holds your Windows system? | 22:28 |
| |Anthony| | silly question... What do i need to do to plug my desktop into my laptop so i can get internet access on the desktop? The laptop connects to a wireless router, but i don't have long enough ethernet cable | 22:28 |
| zuhaitz | lukescharf, only in fdisk not in gparted | 22:29 |
| lukescharf | The Ubuntu LiveCD installer can partition the empty space. | 22:29 |
| zuhaitz | is beacuse the GPT and MBR ? | 22:29 |
| lukescharf | It's a little bit basic, but you don't have to pre-create the partitions for it. | 22:29 |
| zuhaitz | I dont have idea of waht that are xD | 22:29 |
| harry7 | cfhowlett: i read the post you gave me. it instructs me to see the boot in verbose mode while it loads the OS, so to understand what hapens and what hangs up. but ive been able to to that by choosing ubuntu recovery and see that there is something wrong with "ATA link is slow (error 16)" | 22:29 |
| meskarune | |Anthony|: you could buy a wifi card for you desktop computer | 22:29 |
| cfhowlett | harry7 remind me of your problem? | 22:30 |
| zuhaitz | lukescharf, installer cant see any partition, there are 3, and it shows me HD like empty | 22:30 |
| OerHeks | zuhaitz, is it a Sata disk, and bios set to IDE-modus ? | 22:30 |
| zuhaitz | I cant see NTFS and the new one I created with fdisk | 22:30 |
| cfhowlett | harry7 nevermind pink login right? | 22:30 |
| zuhaitz | OerHeks, dont know | 22:30 |
| |Anthony| | meskarune, truth be told, i'm bringing my box to a friends house right now. | 22:30 |
| zuhaitz | OerHeks, should I reboot and take a look? | 22:30 |
| harry7 | i choose ubuntu on grub screen and it wont load the OS. i am stuck on the purple screen | 22:30 |
| OerHeks | zuhaitz, set it to AHCI, and you be fine | 22:30 |
| |Anthony| | so i don't have time to get a wifi card | 22:30 |
| harry7 | all i can do is CTRL+ALT+DEL | 22:30 |
| ganimede | cannot find it anymore, harry7 | 22:30 |
| lukescharf | Zuhaitz: This might have been covered in parts of the discussion that I'm not following (I'm trying to do my own work, too), but what kind of disklabel are you using? | 22:31 |
| lukescharf | I guess you said GPT | 22:31 |
| harry7 | so i am stuck with the purple screen of death | 22:32 |
| Wargasm | harry7: CTRL+ALT+F1? | 22:32 |
| zuhaitz | yes GPT | 22:32 |
| ganimede | however, i do remember having had to do "sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-current" before running the new setup, NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-290.10.run | 22:32 |
| cfhowlett | harry7 more research needed - seems to be a hardware/kernel conflict... | 22:32 |
| cfhowlett | Harry7 are you dual booting | 22:33 |
| harry7 | after i am on the (initramfs) i give "exit" and than it starts to load the OS | 22:33 |
| ganimede | (use 32 or 64 bit version according to your system) | 22:33 |
| harry7 | yes i am dual booting with win7 | 22:33 |
| nxn | harry7: do you end up in the login screen or the one before it? | 22:34 |
| meskarune | |Anthony|: I guess you could plus an ethernet into your laptop and do internet sharing... http://www.articles4ever.com/communications/broadband-internet/internet-sharing-using-a-linux-box-5841.htm | 22:34 |
| harry7 | nxn : i am stuck at the purple screen. i think its before the login | 22:34 |
| cfhowlett | harry7 boot windows/accessories/system utilities/system info: get the specs on your HDD, i.e. ATA, SATA, etc. reboot ubuntu and make sure you matched those settings | 22:34 |
| kpas_ | when upgrading to 11.10 and I want to keep gnome do I need to install both of these pakages or one - gnome-session-fallback gnome-shell gnome-session-common | 22:34 |
| harry7 | Wargasm: yes i can go to a TTY.. but than what? | 22:35 |
| lukescharf | zuhaitz: This document (intended for Mac OS X Boot Camp users) has some information about how to use the Ubuntu installer with GPT: | 22:35 |
| lukescharf | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation | 22:35 |
| zuhaitz | OerHeks, hey it is IDE Mode, but there is no AHCI mode, should I remove Onboard SATA Controller from Bios? | 22:35 |
| lukescharf | Should be able to cherry-pick the right parts out of the document fairly easily -- it looks like the relevant part starts around the first screenshot. | 22:36 |
| zuhaitz | Why is GPT and no MBR? | 22:36 |
| Wargasm | harry7 well, you said you were stuck at a purple screen of death so I was wondering if it was locked or not | 22:36 |
| lukescharf | Zuhaitz: I was going to ask you the same question. What kind of hardware are you using? | 22:36 |
| cfhowlett | zuhaitz gpt and mbr are different partitioning schemes. gpt = apple, mbr = windows/default buntu | 22:36 |
| zuhaitz | Why I have GPT one? | 22:37 |
| harry7 | wargasm: right now i am on the normal GUI ubuntu | 22:37 |
| |Anthony| | thanks meskarune... that was along the lines of what i was looking for | 22:37 |
| lukescharf | Zuhaitz: here's what Microsoft has to say about GPT: | 22:37 |
| lukescharf | http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463525 | 22:37 |
| lukescharf | Gotta update my Windows 7 knowledge and see if it's the default for Windows 7 installations now. | 22:37 |
| cfhowlett | zuhaitz see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man8/gdisk.8.html | 22:38 |
| lukescharf | Er, that article is what Microsoft has to say about Windows 7 and GPT. They seem to be pro-GPT. | 22:38 |
| derkling | \j #beagleboard | 22:38 |
| harry7 | cfhowlett: as i remember my hdd its a ata 200gb partitioned in 3 partitions. win7ntfs C+D, and ubuntu xt4 | 22:39 |
| zuhaitz | lukescharf, How can I put it into MBR? | 22:39 |
| zuhaitz | xD | 22:39 |
| lukescharf | zuhaitz: how much do you care about your existing Windows 7 installation? | 22:39 |
| LucidGuy | Ubuntu 11.10/64 Server. Can't get the system to halt all the way. Halt command makes it up to the point where on the console it states that the system has halted. Yet the server is still on. I'm able to halt with a linux live cd. | 22:39 |
| cfhowlett | Harry7 AND a Windows Recovery Partition, right? | 22:40 |
| lukescharf | zuhaitz: If you're put a lot of effort into it, then the easiest way to make the change would not be the correct solution. | 22:40 |
| Thecle669_Unarme | Bonsoir a tous | 22:40 |
| harry7 | cfhowlett: now that one is gone. | 22:40 |
| harry7 | cfhowlett: i didnt want to let all those gigs for win | 22:41 |
| zuhaitz | lukescharf, why? | 22:41 |
| zuhaitz | I dont want to know anymore of GPT XD | 22:41 |
| lukescharf | Zuhairz: Oh, it looks like you can change it from within Windows? | 22:41 |
| lukescharf | http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/26203-convert-gpt-disk-mbr-disk.html | 22:41 |
| lukescharf | Not sure if it applies to boot disks. | 22:41 |
| cfhowlett | harry7 so your buntu HDD settings are ATA? See Ubuntu Disk Utilities | 22:41 |
| harry7 | ok | 22:41 |
| elektriks | this doc doesnt say anything about how to mount an encrypted home dir from the console. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome What do I do? | 22:41 |
| zuhaitz | lukescharf, that seems to sound nice xD | 22:42 |
| lukescharf | zuhaitz: Before finding the post that I just sent you, I thought the easiest way to change it was to clobber the partition table and start over. Changing it on a running system requires a bit of slight-of-hand, but it can be done. | 22:42 |
| zuhaitz | lukescharf, the last link you gave me is nice, :D | 22:43 |
| zuhaitz | you are nice :D | 22:43 |

| geoffw8 | I know nothing about this, | 23:11 |
| _Marcus | geoffw8: There's not much difference between the two | 23:11 |
| geoffw8 | I was wonering if someone could point me in the right direction? | 23:11 |
| geoffw8 | ok, so 64bit would be ok | 23:11 |
| Gentoo64 | use 64 bit | 23:12 |
| geoffw8 | no software incompatibility? | 23:12 |
| Gentoo64 | if its not really old | 23:12 |
| geoffw8 | etc etc | 23:12 |
| _Marcus | geoffw8: Just some programs are for 32 bit and some are for 64. | 23:12 |
| dejahthoris | geoffw8; will it have more than 4gb ram? | 23:12 |
| geoffw8 | 32gb ;) | 23:12 |
| geoffw8 | ok, cool | 23:12 |
| _Marcus | Then get 64 bit | 23:12 |
| geoffw8 | its running rails/mysql | 23:12 |
| dejahthoris | geoffw8; over 4gb and you need 64 | 23:12 |
| geoffw8 | cool, thanks y'all | 23:12 |
| geoffw8 | ok great, thanks for the pointer dejahthoris | 23:12 |

| kaiowas | It feels like my internet is faster in Ubuntu.. downloading files etc. | 23:13 |
| Gentoo64 | kaiowas, probably placebo | 23:13 |
| Gentoo64 | :) | 23:13 |
| Infernal | Never the less, its just cool :P | 23:14 |
| kaiowas | in osx im usually around 1.8mb/s. Here im at 2.3-2.4 | 23:14 |
| _Marcus | What is the Alternate version of Ubuntu? | 23:14 |
| === Gskellig is now known as Gskellig|away | ||
| _Marcus | Like ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso | 23:14 |
| Gentoo64 | _Marcus, just a different installer afaik | 23:14 |
| Gentoo64 | not proper graphical | 23:14 |
| _Marcus | Gentoo64: So text installer? | 23:15 |
| Gentoo64 | yea | 23:15 |
| _Marcus | Great | 23:15 |
| Gentoo64 | its good for lower ram systems | 23:15 |

| psusi | harry7, you didn't get the whole thing pasted... try just pasting from /var/log/kern.log, but the error you mentioned certainly sounds like the problem is a bad drive | 23:18 |
| harry7 | psusi: if this is the case, what can help me? | 23:19 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; it could just be flawed driver support for your harddrive controller | 23:20 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris : any solution or fix? | 23:21 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: win7 its ok and older versions of ubuntu | 23:22 |
| harry7 | before 10.04 | 23:22 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; that proves it's the hdd controller driver | 23:22 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: so i should go and install 7.04? :) | 23:23 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; no, but you could try to force a different driver | 23:23 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: how ? are you willing to try with me? | 23:24 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: we can try, i dont have anything to worry if something goes wrong. i stick usb flash and reinstall it again | 23:25 |
| neohippie | hi, i've created a group and i have added my user to the group using 'sudo usermod -aG group username' but when i type 'groups' I don't show as a member of the group | 23:25 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; what did your dmesg say about the hdd controller it detected? | 23:26 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: i am going to paste full dmesg now on pastebin. | 23:26 |

| betanick | does anyone know how to keep my mounts from changing? ie: on boot 1 sda is a 250gb drive and on boot 2 sda is a 80gb drive. I have 4 satas connected to the motherboard and 2 connect to a sata controller card. please help :) | 23:33 |
| === q0rban is now known as q-rban | ||
| betanick | i had to reinstall ubuntu because of this problem i didn't check when i issued a chmod command to one of the drives being shared and accidently chmoded the system drive :( | 23:35 |
| muelli | uh. why would chmod a *drive* in first place? -.- | 23:35 |
| dejahthoris | harry8; does your machine have only the one sata harddrive? | 23:35 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: what about that other hdd contoller driver? | 23:35 |
| neohippie | hi, i've created a group and i have added my user to the group using 'sudo usermod -aG group username' , and when i type 'groups username' the group is listed but when i type 'groups' I don't show as a member of the group. Any ideas as to why? | 23:35 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; does your machine have only the one sata harddrive? | 23:36 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: yes | 23:36 |
| muelli | neohippie: you need to log in freshly. | 23:36 |
| betanick | muelli: so i can access files using samba | 23:36 |
| neohippie | muelli, thanks i'll do that | 23:36 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: this is a laptop and i mostly use the interior hdd. i have a exterior hdd but i use it once a year. right now its not connected | 23:37 |
| elektriks | how come no one has made an open source web email interface like gmail yet? | 23:37 |
| betanick | i've been using centos 5 and decided i'd switch to ubuntu | 23:37 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; the problem with the "drive slow to respond" is that it's trying to detect a pata harddrive on the legacy ata controller which isn't disabled (ata5) If you disable it in your bios, you should lose the problem | 23:37 |
| betanick | maybe i should switch back? | 23:37 |
| muelli | elektriks: go ahead, build one :) You'll be the next free software hero. | 23:38 |
| kraz3d | If my ISP blocks port 80 and webservers, does anyone know a way to get around this? | 23:38 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: so i should go in my bios and disable hdd legacy...? can you give some more info? | 23:39 |
| muelli | kraz3d: what do you want to achieve? | 23:39 |
| kraz3d | Hosting a webserver from my computer. | 23:39 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; the details depend on your exact bios, and since I don't have the same machine as you, I can't give exact directions. But you want to leave the sata controllers enabled and the pata controllers both disabled | 23:40 |
| mun | does anyone know how to get some meaningful error messages from a cronjob? my syslog shows only "error (grandchild #1779 failed with status 2) etc. | 23:40 |
| betanick | nobody here has had or is having the same issues as me? | 23:40 |
| JessD | Can anyone tell me how to force automount to set permissions for any device it mounts? | 23:40 |
| muelli | JessD: have you read man fstab? | 23:40 |
| dejahthoris | kraz3d; there are always dynamic-dns services, for a small fee | 23:40 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: ok i will try but what is pata for and since my wife uses this win7 on the other hand is there any danger? | 23:41 |
| JessD | Yes, but I fail to find a line in my fstab that defines default behavior | 23:41 |
| JessD | only specific device behavior | 23:41 |
| JessD | Which I don't want | 23:41 |
| JessD | muelli: ^ sorry | 23:41 |
| kraz3d | dejahthoris: But is there any way for me to maybe set up my own dns? | 23:41 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: is there any way to tell linux kernel not to mes with pata? | 23:41 |
| muelli | JessD: so what do you want? | 23:42 |
| JessD | Muelli : To force automount to set permissions for any device it mounts | 23:42 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; yes, you can add ata5,ata6 to the module blacklist | 23:42 |
| JessD | muelli : So if I get some random usb key, it'll automount world read/write | 23:42 |
| imanc | I've just created a remote user on an ssh server, but I'm not seeing any highlighting in the terminal. Any ideas what I can do to fix this? | 23:42 |
| betanick | JessD: automount? is that when you doble click on a drive that has not benn mounted? | 23:43 |
| muelli | JessD: but that's what fstab does, no? | 23:43 |
| JessD | betanick : No, that's when you plug in a drive and the os mounts it for you | 23:43 |
| JessD | muelli : My fstab does not contain entries for "Any Device" or any equivalent thereof that I can find | 23:43 |
| betanick | JessD : oh ok | 23:43 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: let me check with bios first. if i can disable from there. if not i will ask here how to add ata5 ata6 to blacklist.. | 23:43 |
| harry7 | thanks | 23:43 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; but it's safe to try disabling the pata controller. win 7 detects sata directly. and even if there's a win 7 problem, you can always go back to the bios and re-enable it | 23:43 |
| JessD | muelli : Yet every device I plug in mounts, ergo something else is defaulting me to 700, for example. | 23:44 |
| harry7 | ok thanks | 23:44 |
| Somelauw | Hi I am trying to use skype, but even though my microphone volume is at maximum, I can't hear a thing | 23:44 |
| Somelauw | Or well very quietly | 23:45 |
| Somelauw | But incomprehensible | 23:45 |
| muelli | JessD: I don't fully get what you want to achieve. But maybe udisk (check man 7) helps you | 23:45 |
| muelli | Somelauw: maybe run alsamixer -c 0 and turn the mic boost toggle if there is any. | 23:46 |
| diverdude | how can i start syslog with -r ? | 23:46 |
| === trndr_ is now known as trndr | ||
| Somelauw | muelli: They are bars and they are maximized. | 23:46 |
| Somelauw | What does -c 0 even mean? | 23:46 |
| betanick | JessD : you can disable automount and mount manually? does that help you? | 23:47 |
| Somelauw | It is ridiculous low compared to recording sounds on windows. | 23:48 |
| JessD | muelli : Looks promising, but I got to say that I am unimpressed w/ Ubuntu's documentation lately, esp. anything dealing w/ freedesktop. Example, do you see anything about how udisks is configured? | 23:49 |
| TorpedoSkyline | I'm guessing people are aware of the Chrome install issues in Oneiric? | 23:49 |
| diverdude | any1? | 23:50 |
| JessD | muelli : Nothing in gconf, nothing in /etc... Argh. | 23:51 |
| muelli | JessD: yes: "On Linux, udisks relies on recent versions of udev(7) and the kernel." | 23:51 |
| diverdude | how can i start syslog with -r ? | 23:51 |
| muelli | diverdude: Ctrl+Alt+T, then "syslog -r" | 23:51 |
| muelli | well, kinda... | 23:51 |
| JessD | muelli : Hmm, already checked out udev, didn't find anythign on default perms for usb block devices; will try again... | 23:51 |
| mun | how do i change my machine name? i've tried changing it in /etc/hostname but the syslog still uses the oldname in its stamps | 23:52 |
| diverdude | muelli: no the ubuntu syslog does not directly support -r | 23:52 |
| bastidrazor | !hostname | mun | 23:52 |
| ubottu | mun: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 23:52 |
| muelli | JessD: so you want i.e. /dev/sdb carry, say, 0777 once you plug a pendrive in? | 23:53 |
| JessD | muelli : Exactly | 23:54 |
| muelli | JessD: well. that's crazy. But that's a udev thing | 23:54 |
| JessD | muelli : No, it's completely logical given the scenario, but each to his own I suppose. | 23:54 |
| harry7 | back again. unfortunately my bios didnt have options like unable disable sata-pata. so if anyone can help me add pata on kernel blacklist? thanks | 23:55 |
| mun | bastidrazor, hmm i've done that but syslog is still stamping using the old machine name | 23:55 |
| mun | bastidrazor, hostname returns the new name though | 23:56 |
| betanick | JessD : did you see what i msgd you? | 23:56 |
| JessD | betanick : Sorry, new to irssi; reading now | 23:56 |
| muelli | well JessD. Sure, you're free to do whatever you want. But I have a hard time imaging a proper usecase for that unless you have a box that's setup to brick everybody's pendrives. So you could make udev run a script once you plug a pendrive in. that could then change permissions. but I think udev can handle permissions itself. | 23:56 |
| muelli | but I wouldn't know how off the top of my head | 23:56 |
| harry7 | in effort to make kernel not wait for pata so it can load the OS | 23:57 |
| zacarias | is there an alternative to gnome-tweak-tool? | 23:57 |
| JessD | meulli : OK, I need some qualifications there. How exactly does opening r/w to other users "brick" a pendrive? | 23:57 |
| muelli | JessD: simple: echo foo >/dev/sdb | 23:58 |
| muelli | boom | 23:58 |
| muelli | JessD: but udev does exactly what you want, i.e. just put MODE="0777" to your udev rule and off you go. | 23:58 |
| imanc | how can I get the ubuntu version from cmd line? | 23:59 |
| JessD | muelli : How is mounting a drive with more perms equivalent to that? I'd hate to do that, but that doesn't follow | 23:59 |
| JessD | muelli : Or do you mean, any system user "could" do that..? | 23:59 |
