| bastidrazor | imanc: lsb_release -a | 00:00 |
| JessD | muelli : If the latter, that's not a concern given the nature of the box. It's purpose is to allow a group of trusted users to easily share files over samba | 00:00 |
| imanc | fantastic… thanks chasp | 00:00 |
| imanc | chaps | 00:00 |
| muelli | well JessD. I still don't think I've fully understood your requirements. But from what you've answered: "/dev/sdb to carry, say, 0777 once you plug a pendrive in" - "exactly" then any (!) user could write to the block device. That means brickage. | 00:00 |
| bastidrazor | mun: you may need a reboot? | 00:00 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; I'd like to help you further, but I've never personally needed to blacklist the pata driver | 00:00 |
| JessD | muelli : If I were worried about malicious users, I a) wouldn't use samba and b) wouldn't be using this method for perms | 00:00 |
| muelli | oh, and I mean the block device not the mounted filesystem. | 00:01 |
| JessD | muelli : alrighty then. | 00:01 |
| harry7 | dejahthori : its ok. tell me what to do an i will try. if i mes thing up i can always reinstall | 00:01 |

| harry7 | dejahthori: i am looking this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=27756 | 00:02 |
| mun | i have another problem: i'm trying to setup a cronjob that calls a sudo command, but i keep getting an error from the cronjob. the cronjob is in the user table; is that ok? | 00:02 |
| harry7 | is it the same prob? | 00:02 |
| karsten | mun: Generally, you'd set up a cronjob to run as root, then, if you want to invoke a specific user, use 'su' to do that, in one of the system crontab files: /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.d/<filename>, or /etc/cron.{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly} | 00:04 |
| karsten | mun: the /etc/crontab syntax also supports naming the user to run as. man 5 crontab. | 00:04 |
| ubuntu_noob_dont | trying to confirm that if you are running xubuntu directly from the CD and not installed on the HD that you are unable to add a wireless connection. Any help appreciated. | 00:05 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; if you already have it installed, you might be able to create a "pata.conf" file in /etc/modprobe.d | 00:05 |

| === Gskellig|away is now known as Gskellig | ||
| harry7 | dejahthoris: how can i do that? | 00:06 |
| mun | karsten, so do you mean i should try setting it in root's crontab (sudo crontab -e)? | 00:07 |
| karsten | mun: No. | 00:07 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; have you completed the install yet, or it the installer hanging? | 00:07 |
| karsten | mun: My recommendation would be to use an /etc/cron.d/ file. | 00:07 |
| xubuntu6 | check the crontab | 00:07 |
| karsten | mun: You could also put it in /etc/crontab, but managing that gets ugly if you're adding a lot of cron jobs. | 00:07 |
| mun | karsten, well i only got 1 cronjob here | 00:07 |

| === hashashin is now known as Guest38709 | ||
| harry7 | dejahthoris: where is the blacklist file located | 00:08 |
| karsten | mun: I expect this is a system, not a regular, user that you're trying to run this as. Maintaining indivdual crontabs for systems users is a pretty bad idea -- hard to manage. | 00:08 |
| karsten | mun: Good practices start early. | 00:08 |
| karsten | mun: I've only been doing this for, oh, 25 years or so. | 00:08 |

| Gskellig | no it doesn't =( | 00:12 |
| karsten | mun: sudo -e /etc/cron.d/<somefile> | 00:12 |
| mun | karsten, i had the same problem with this cronjob before upgrading to 11.10. the fix was to add xhost local:root but now it doesn't seem to help. | 00:12 |
| karsten | mun: ... will invoke an editor and allow you to edit that file. You need to be in sudoers, which if you installed ubuntu you should be. | 00:12 |
| karsten | mun: If you're not, hack root (boot single user) and add yourself to sudoers. | 00:13 |
| karsten | mun: ... or talk to whomever owns the box and have them grant you sudo privs. | 00:13 |
| psusi | Gskellig, try lshw | 00:13 |
| mun | karsten, yeah i managed to edit using sudo -e | 00:14 |
| karsten | There you go. | 00:14 |
| karsten | Test that the cronjob works as you want it to. They're a bit tricky that way. | 00:14 |
| mun | karsten, just that the cronjob gives an error | 00:14 |
| mun | error (grandchild #3000 failed with exit status 2) | 00:14 |
| mun | this comes from syslog | 00:14 |

| mun | karsten, */1 * * * * root python ~/Misc/revoco-battery.py | 00:16 |
| escott | mun, you shouldn't use relative paths in crontab entries | 00:16 |
| karsten | mun: Use an absolute path for the command, not a tilde. | 00:16 |
| karsten | So: /home/<username>/Misc/revoco-battery.py | 00:16 |
| almoxarife | mun: and the crontab is created, just cant be excuted, google it, no help there | 00:17 |
| karsten | escott: technically, it's not a relative path, but it is a shell expansion. | 00:17 |
| mun | karsten, ok. let me wait for the next minute. | 00:17 |
| mun | almoxarife, yeah, i've tried googling. but last time i fixed it with xhost local:root | 00:17 |
| karsten | mun: If your python script uses #!/usr/bin/python notation, you can invoke it directly rather than calling it with python. | 00:18 |
| mun | escott, karsten, omg.. that fixed it. | 00:18 |
| karsten | mun: Welcome to crontab troubleshooting ;-) | 00:18 |

| zacarias | cfhowlett: It crashes before it does anything (and gnome-tweak-tool doesn't even launch, it give sme an error message) | 00:19 |
| almoxarife | mun: from i see happening the crash is not cron related, i set up a job for every two mins, and it ran like it should, but crashing just like you see it, its not the cron portion, variables ? | 00:19 |

| === Budget-AFK is now known as Budget | ||
| harry7 | what is pata used for? | 00:32 |
| kraz3d | Is there a VNC server for ubuntu that would allow me to access my computer via a foreign web browser? | 00:33 |
| dejahthoris | harry7; that only disabled the legacy pata controller which didn't have any hdd on it anyways | 00:33 |
| harry7 | dejahthoris: ah ok. than good to go :) | 00:33 |

| harry7 | ah ok. no prob | 00:35 |
| escott | !nvidia | harry7 | 00:35 |
| ubottu | harry7: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 00:35 |
| escott | harry7, and don't download it directly use jockey-gtk | 00:36 |
| harry7 | escott: i used that but the driver on the nvidia website its newer | 00:36 |
| escott | harry7, the supported method is jockey-gtk | 00:37 |
| harry7 | escott: i have 280.13 and the driver i downloaded from them is 295.20 | 00:37 |
| harry7 | but its a .run | 00:38 |
| diverdude | Is all logging in ubuntu using rsyslog? | 00:38 |
| aethelrick | harry7, new is not always best... do you need the very latest driver for a reason or can you not use the latest stable supported one? | 00:38 |
| peter__ | #list | 00:38 |
| escott | harry7, i don't care, use jockey-gtk. there are all kinds of issues with installing something outside of the repos and without a good reason you won't find much support on this channel | 00:38 |
| harry7 | i gues i am gonna stay with what escott says | 00:39 |
| escott | diverdude, it is the default syslog application... so yes | 00:39 |
| aethelrick | harry7, in some cases, I've had the newer driver perform worse for an older card... best to stick with what is tested :) | 00:40 |
| diverdude | escott: so where is it set up that e.g. apache's log messages sent to rsyslog is stored in /var/log/apache2 ? | 00:40 |
| escott | diverdude, check /etc/rsyslog.d/ | 00:41 |
| mattwhelan | Anyone here have an opinion on which would be a better desktop for Ubuntu: ~2005 Apple PowerPC G5 tower or a 4 year old cheapo Dell desktop tower? | 00:43 |
| dejahthoris | mattwhelan; how cheapo? | 00:43 |
| aBound | I don't think a PowerPC arch is supported for Ubuntu anymore. | 00:43 |
| cfhowlett | mattwhelan powerpc is going to be more difficult... | 00:43 |
| escott | !ppc | 00:43 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 00:43 |
| mattwhelan | The Dell is an Inspiron, I don't know the exact specs offhand, but I think the specs are not as good as the Mac. Total average consumer Dell machine. | 00:45 |
| Gergov | guys i guess a lot of people like me asking but why and how to fix skype mic and camera? now my camera didnt work i found an article http://www.ubunturoot.com/2010/05/how-to-fix-webcam-problem-in-skype.html and now for a brief moment works, but then skype crashes. and the mic people say they can hear something but the sound is terrible with a lot of noise and my words tear . i am using ubuntu 10.04 and its just a default installation | 00:45 |
| peter__ | arg! | 00:45 |
| dejahthoris | mattwhelan; Inspiron but which model number? | 00:45 |
| peter__ | anyone particularly skilled in making a intel wireless card 5100 agn work? | 00:46 |
| cfhowlett | mattwhelan I just gave away my 2001 dell - still worked still ran ubuntu... | 00:46 |
| wingnut2626l | im trying to configure my computer to be an ftp server using wu-ftpd. i run the command but it just brings me to another prompt. what do i do? | 00:46 |
| diverdude | escott: hmm ok...didnt really find anything there...but seems that rsyslog config is fragmented into many files. I found /etc/rsyslog.conf, /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf, /etc/rsyslog.d/20-ufw.conf and /etc/default/rsyslog. why so many, and are there more? | 00:46 |
| escott | Gergov, what is not working about the camera | 00:46 |
| mattwhelan | Would it be a total mess/ordeal to try and get Ubuntu (community port) working well on the G5? I can get my hands on a dual processer 2.5 w/ 6GB Ram, later model. Just don't want to be running into issues every week. | 00:46 |
| mattwhelan | Not sure of the Inspiron model. I know for a fact it runs Ubuntu fine, just wondering if the G5 would be a better option since the specs are much better, or if it's too much trouble. | 00:47 |
| OerHeks | mattwhelan, i think G5 lacks support on flash.. not sure it still is. | 00:47 |
| cfhowlett | mattwhelan you'd have to ask the ppc folk... | 00:47 |
| escott | diverdude, syslog interacts with multiple programs so its helpful to have a separate config file for each program it interacts with. this is a common approach in /etc | 00:47 |
| Gergov | escott, first when i click "turn on camera" nothing happened. like there is no camera. after the article. i did what its written there, and now i start the camera, people see me kind of blueish and after 1-2 min skype crashes and i have to start it again | 00:47 |
| dejahthoris | mattwhelan; the question isn't how lame the Inspiron is now, but how much you might upgrade it cheaply using junk parts | 00:48 |
| cfhowlett | mattwhelan dejahthoris has a point. That machine is ancient! | 00:48 |
| diverdude | escott: hmm but there are only those 4 files but way more programs interacts with rsyslog | 00:49 |
| escott | Gergov, if the camera works in other applications (like cheese) one thing you can try is to use some LD_PRELOAD tricks to force skype to use libv4l. start with installing libv4l-0:i386 | 00:49 |
| escott | diverdude, some may not require any special configuration. you would have to read the config files. i don't know much about rsyslog | 00:49 |
| Gergov | escott, thats exactly what i am doing now. i am starting skype with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype . and this is where, when i start the camera, skype it crashes after 2 min | 00:51 |
| escott | Gergov, so you are running x86 then | 00:51 |
| cfhowlett | My ubuntustudio theme has the right-panel buttons. I know how to switch them to left panel, but if I switch to another theme and them back to US, buttons reset to right-panel. How do I lock the buttons to left panel in gnome-conf? | 00:51 |
| Gergov | escott, sorry but i kinda dont know hihihi i think yes tho :) how can i check to be sure? | 00:52 |
| escott | Gergov, uname -a see if it says x86_64 anywhere. | 00:52 |
| cfhowlett | My ubuntustudio theme has the right-panel buttons. I know how to switch them to left panel, but if I switch to another theme and them back to US, buttons reset to right-panel. How do I lock the buttons to left panel in *gconf-editor* | 00:53 |
| escott | Gergov, it should say i386/i686 for your preload to be correct | 00:53 |
| Gergov | i686 GNU/Linux | 00:53 |
| Gergov | at the end | 00:53 |
| escott | Gergov, then its out of my depth. there are some environment variables LIBV4LCONTROL_FLAGS but i dont know what they do | 00:54 |

| escott | vubuntor979, rename is a perl application which can do this. or you can use a bash loop: for f in *.mp3; do echo $f abc$f; done (replace the echo with mv) | 00:56 |

| Ahoalton | escott: what was the command again? | 01:28 |
| escott | Ahoalton, what option number is the windows? | 01:29 |
| Ahoalton | 5 I believe | 01:29 |
| Ahoalton | its last | 01:29 |
| cfhowlett | CXIV1 reserved space is for files that are NOT part or the lubuntu filesystem | 01:29 |
| CXIV1 | cfhowlett .. | 01:29 |
| socrates_johnson | sorry, does anyone have thoughts on setting up codecs so I convert ogv to avi using ffmpeg or openshot? thank you | 01:29 |
| cfhowlett | socrates_johnson ubuntu-restricted-extras for the codecs... | 01:30 |
| CXIV1 | cfhowlett So after installing some packages that packages will not be located there? | 01:30 |
| escott | Ahoalton, i think its zero indexed so try sudo set-grub-default 4. if that doesn't boot the correct entry try again with sudo set-grub-default 5 | 01:30 |
| Ahoalton | so that will move windows to number one? | 01:31 |
| cfhowlett | CXIV1 installed packages go into the ubuntu filesystem as normal. If you also wish to use the USB as a storage medium when it's NOT booting ubuntu, leave some extras space | 01:31 |
| leo-unglaub | hi friends, i have one usb drive with don't work on my ubntu laptop. on all other ubuntu computers in the company the stick works fine. Here is my dmesg and my lsusb | 01:31 |
| leo-unglaub | http://paste.ubuntu.com/845243/ | 01:31 |
| leo-unglaub | du you have any ideas why? | 01:31 |
| escott | Ahoalton, it changes what the default option is. it doesn't reorder the entries in any way | 01:31 |
| Ahoalton | oh, ok, is it possible to reorder the entries? | 01:31 |
| cfhowlett | leo-unglaub it's not ubuntu - it's that computer. does it support USB boot? | 01:31 |
| CXIV1 | cfhowlett I got 8 gb usb drive , and I set 4 gb for that extra settings space. | 01:32 |
| escott | leo-unglaub, can you try a different port? | 01:32 |
| leo-unglaub | cfhowlett: i am not talking abount booting from it. i just mean simply copying fiels on it | 01:32 |
| leo-unglaub | escott: i tryed all 4 ports | 01:32 |
| CXIV1 | I think it should be enough | 01:32 |
| cfhowlett | CXIV1 sounds good... | 01:32 |
| leo-unglaub | and all other sticks work fine on my laptop | 01:32 |
| leo-unglaub | just not this one | 01:32 |
| socrates_johnson | cfhowlett: thank you, unfortunately i have those installed already | 01:33 |
| cfhowlett | leo-unglaub does the one computer support USB read/write? Some companies disable it... | 01:33 |
| cfhowlett | socrates_johnson ah. sorry, then. | 01:33 |
| leo-unglaub | cfhowlett: i am the tech admin in this company. i have all rights on all of the machines. | 01:34 |
| socrates_johnson | cfhowlett: no worries, thank you | 01:34 |
| themonitor | an anyone help me understand this? I installed the latest ubuntu and adobe flash was using my gpu but in slack it doesn't. Is there a configuration that I need to do or is it something like ubuntu just having newer software? | 01:34 |
| Ahoalton | it says command not found escott | 01:34 |
| cfhowlett | leo-unglaub that answers that. IDK what's going on there. Sorry. | 01:35 |
| themonitor | I know this isn't a specific issue. I'm just looking to be pointed in the rigt direction | 01:35 |
| leo-unglaub | cfhowlett: thanks anyway :) | 01:35 |
| themonitor | I want to understand better how linux in general interacts with the gpu | 01:35 |
| Ahoalton | escott: is grub-set-default | 01:35 |
| Ahoalton | thanks just had to flip them | 01:35 |
| escott | Ahoalton, grub-set-default | 01:35 |
| Ahoalton | gonna try it | 01:35 |

| axisys | it will work with http://example.com/index.cgi ? | 01:41 |
| escott | axisys, it will be able to copy all the static content | 01:42 |
| axisys | ok | 01:43 |
| axisys | hwo about a message board site? | 01:44 |
| axisys | i see tons of index.cgi?files | 01:44 |
| escott | axisys, (a) you shouldn't do that without the permission or the website owner (b) if all you want is the static content yes | 01:45 |
| axisys | i was asked by the one of the member if they can offline copy the site | 01:46 |
| escott | axisys, doing it with wget would be the stupidest most inconsiderate way of doing so | 01:46 |

| gbuchdahl | I have a rather stupid question | 02:00 |
| gbuchdahl | idownloaded ubuntu recently | 02:00 |
| gbuchdahl | and my bluetooth mouse has not connected | 02:00 |
| gbuchdahl | so I can't click install | 02:01 |
| gbuchdahl | so what do I do | 02:01 |
| steviesteveo | Do you have a usb mouse? | 02:01 |
| gbuchdahl | I do: do I have to use it forever? | 02:01 |
| StevenX | Hello everyone. Is there a "remote desktop software" for ubuntu like there is for Windows? I am currently using TeamViewer, but it is used through Wine and doesn't work too well. | 02:01 |
| Ben64 | !vnc | StevenX | 02:01 |
| ubottu | StevenX: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:01 |
| steviesteveo | No, just long enough to install ubuntu and get bluetooth set up | 02:02 |
| gbuchdahl | thanks | 02:02 |
| resno | i just downloaded ubuntu 11.10 live, and i need the login credentials to get on | 02:02 |
| gbuchdahl | um | 02:02 |
| StevenX | Ben64: Thanks! | 02:02 |
| gbuchdahl | can I plus one you? | 02:02 |
| StevenX | !FreeNX | 02:02 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 02:02 |
| meskarune | StevenX: there is a linux version of teamviewer, you don't have to run it through wine. http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx | 02:04 |
| _Marcus | TeamViewer is okay, if you don't want to open anything on your firewall. It gets slow at times. | 02:04 |
| Lunar_Lander | hello | 02:08 |
| StevenX | meskarune, I *thought* I had downloaded that one, but it still ran through wine. | 02:08 |
| Lunar_Lander | I just went on ebay and had only part of the site allowed in noscript, then I wanted to right click on a line of text that I marked and then the site went gray and a window appeared in the center saying "Text by Dirtyharry9999" | 02:09 |
| Lunar_Lander | any idea what that is? | 02:09 |
| swang1 | 以后有的罪受了。。 | 02:09 |
| StevenX | meskarune, would that make any sense or do you think I downloaded the wrong one? | 02:09 |
| Lunar_Lander | when I switched the site fully on in noscript, that disappeared | 02:09 |
| Ben64 | StevenX: teamviewer is available in the software center, you shouldn't download it from the website anyway. | 02:09 |
| StevenX | _Marcus, but with TeamViewer I can use as a client a windows pc or an android phone, which is pretty nice. | 02:10 |
| Ben64 | StevenX: there are vnc clients on windows and android as well | 02:10 |
| _Marcus | StevenX: True. | 02:10 |
| jon23d | I can't eject any of my cd drives, when I press the button, run eject, or even stick a pin in either one of them, it tries to eject but fails. | 02:10 |
| jon23d | Ubuntu seems to think they are SCSI, but I've got them connected with SATA cables | 02:11 |
| jon23d | And when I can get them to open, they read/write just fine... | 02:11 |
| _Marcus | StevenX: I like my data going from me to the target machine, not me to TeamViewer to target machine. It's faster, and more secure. | 02:11 |
| Ben64 | jon23d: you have to unmount the disc before ejecting | 02:11 |
| jon23d | they aren't mounted | 02:11 |
| jon23d | ben64: they are both empty | 02:11 |
| Ben64 | jon23d: then the drives could be messed up? | 02:11 |
| jon23d | ben64: it seems unlikely that two newish drives would both fail though, doesn't it? | 02:12 |
| Lunar_Lander | does anybody have an idea on my problem? | 02:12 |
| StevenX | Ben64: So if I install VNC server, then all I need to access it is a generic VNC client software? No need for it to be "compatible." For example, I can't access Teamviewer with anything but TeamViewer. | 02:12 |
| StevenX | _Marcus: Very true. | 02:12 |
| Ben64 | jon23d: only if they're mounted would they not eject. and using a pin or paperclip to open it can't fail unless something is physically wrong with the drive | 02:13 |
| Canadian1296 | Lunar_Lander: I just joined. What is your problem? | 02:13 |
| _Marcus | StevenX: Of course, that's my opinion. You can use whatever software you like :) | 02:13 |
| Ben64 | StevenX: correct. any vnc client will connect to any vnc server | 02:13 |
| Lunar_Lander | I just went on ebay and had only part of the site allowed in noscript, then I wanted to right click on a line of text that I marked and then the site went gray and a window appeared in the center saying "Text by Dirtyharry9999" | 02:13 |
| Lunar_Lander | when I did that again, it came on again only with a box to check that said "Prevent this site from showing further messages" | 02:13 |
| Lunar_Lander | when I switched the site fully on in noscript, that disappeared | 02:13 |
| jon23d | ben64: could the fact that ubuntu reports a scsi connection with them have anything to do with it? The behavior is identical for both drives, which makes me think the chances of it being a hardware failure is slim | 02:13 |
| StevenX | Ben64: Ah, gotcha. Thank you! I wasn't aware. I thought each VNC server software had its own proprietary client software. Now this opens up a whole new level. | 02:14 |
| StevenX | ;-) | 02:14 |
| escott | jon23d, ATAPI and SATA send SCSI commands over ATA so it can all get very confusing, but these days nothing is what used to be ATA | 02:14 |
| Ben64 | jon23d: try ejecting them while in the bios or something | 02:14 |
| _Marcus | Lunar_Lander: I think that's off topic. | 02:14 |
| jon23d | ben64: I wonder if something has a lock on them, but I can't unlock them from the terminal either, hdparm -L 0 /dev/cdrom: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(doorlock) failed: Bad address | 02:14 |
| Canadian1296 | Lunar_Lander: Then noscript is interfering with something. Just add ebay to it's whitelist. | 02:15 |
| Lunar_Lander | OK, thanks | 02:15 |
| jon23d | ben64: kk, I'll give it a shot and report back :) thanks | 02:15 |
| Ben64 | jon23d: its probably /dev/sr0 though | 02:15 |
| jon23d | ben64: same result | 02:15 |
| Canadian1296 | Lunar_Lander: No problem :) | 02:16 |
| Ben64 | StevenX: yep, i have vino-server on my desktop, pocketcloud client on android, tightvnc client on another desktop, and everything works together fine | 02:16 |

| meskarune | StevenX: I see. I guess the linux version uses wine adn some windows libraries to work. I don't know of any simple multiplatform remote desktop applications thoguh :/ | 02:17 |

| walrus__ | Can anyone help me out getting the win7 installer on a usb (Xubuntu 11.10) | 02:19 |
| Canadian1296 | walrus__: You have Windows and desire Ubuntu, or have Ubuntu and desire Windows? | 02:20 |
| walrus__ | I have Ubuntu, and desire windows | 02:21 |
| meskarune | he is trying to mount the windows installer on a usb from ubuntu | 02:21 |
| CIDR | Is it possible to install or created during an install a software Raid10 ? | 02:21 |
| Ben64 | thats not really a ubuntu issue | 02:21 |
| Wargasm | geh... windows... | 02:21 |
| psusi | walrus__, then you should ask in #windows or something, though I don't think that's even possible | 02:21 |
| jon23d | ben64: they opened fine in the bios, but won't open again in ubuntu | 02:21 |
| Canadian1296 | Wargasm: Agreed | 02:21 |
| walrus__ | I've done it in windows, just figures I'd try her :P | 02:21 |
| meskarune | if he is trying to make a usb from ubuntu it is an ubuntu issue | 02:21 |
| walrus__ | here* | 02:21 |
| Ben64 | jon23d: open a terminal and try "eject" | 02:21 |
| jon23d | it doesn't do it | 02:22 |
| _Marcus | walrus__: You want to put the Windows 7 installer on a USB from xubuntu? | 02:22 |
| Ben64 | jon23d: open a terminal and try "sudo eject" | 02:22 |
| walrus__ | Yes | 02:22 |
| psusi | CIDR, sure... you can create a software raid10 during install with the alternate installer, or do you have a fakeraid card? | 02:22 |
| jon23d | ben64: doesn't work there either | 02:22 |
| Canadian1296 | psusi: I think he wants to know how to make a bootable usb in ubuntu. The people in #windows wouldn't know anything about that | 02:22 |
| CIDR | psusi: I'd just prefer to use software raid10 | 02:22 |
| _Marcus | walrus__: If xubuntu is a supported distro here, I guess it is on topic | 02:22 |
| jon23d | ben64: its almost like something has locked it up | 02:22 |
| walrus__ | Woo! | 02:22 |
| _Marcus | walrus__: Does Ubuntu support writing to NTFS? | 02:22 |
| meskarune | walrus__: check out the dd command. it might do what you want | 02:22 |
| jon23d | ben64: but I can't find the process that would... | 02:22 |
| CIDR | psusi: I have a hardware card, but it's 8 ports, and if I use four for raid10, I can't use the other 4 for anything, nor will they show up as jbod | 02:22 |
| _Marcus | walrus__: Oh, I know. First, you need to format the drive as FAT32. | 02:23 |
| psusi | Canadian1296, making a bootable windows usb is a windows question... and I don't think windows supports that anyhow | 02:23 |
| _Marcus | walrus__: Then you can copy paste the files for Windows 7 installer onto the drive. | 02:23 |
| walrus__ | I've tried the dd command, it goes through the process and then i try to boot from it and it just boots from my hdd | 02:23 |
| walrus__ | And I tried copying and pasting the files | 02:23 |
| psusi | CIDR, what card is this? | 02:23 |
| Ben64 | putting windows onto a flash drive is not a ubuntu support issue | 02:23 |
| walrus__ | I think formatted as NTFS though | 02:23 |
| Ben64 | take it to ##windows | 02:23 |
| meskarune | walrus__: oh then I think you might just need to do something in your bios to boot the usb you made with dd | 02:24 |
| Canadian1296 | psusi: I know what you're saying… walrus__, go ask if a bootable Windows usb is possible in #windows | 02:24 |
| CIDR | psusi: LSI SAS1068E | 02:24 |
| walrus__ | It is possible, I've done it before, just not in any linux distro | 02:24 |
| psusi | CIDR, unless it's an expensive card, it's probably fakeraid, best to disable the bios raid stuff and just set up software raid | 02:24 |
| CIDR | It's not fake raid | 02:24 |
| walrus__ | And I know how to boot from USB | 02:24 |
| Lunar_Lander | Canadian1296: found the reason. That dirtyharry9999 seems to be the husband of the person who made that other auction | 02:24 |
| CIDR | But anyway, I'm disabling the raid, because of reasons I stated above | 02:24 |
| meskarune | Canadian1296: he is asking how to make the usb from ubuntu, so its ontopic | 02:24 |
| Wargasm | bleh, there is a ##windows... how irritating | 02:24 |
| CIDR | And want to use software raid | 02:24 |
| Ben64 | meskarune: thats not how it works | 02:25 |
| psusi | CIDR, then use the alternate installer and you can set up a software raid10 | 02:25 |
| walrus__ | Sorry to bother you then, I'll just wait till I can get access to a win7 machine | 02:25 |
| Canadian1296 | meskarune: But we aren't sure if it's even possible to make a bootable windows install usb. The people in #windows would know. | 02:25 |
| CIDR | psusi good deal. | 02:25 |
| walrus__ | I was just hoping to learn to do it from linux so there won't be any pain next time | 02:25 |
| meskarune | walrus__: dd should have worked. maybe re-read some tutorials :) | 02:26 |
| Lunar_Lander | _Marcus: may I ask a ontopic question? | 02:26 |
| psusi | walrus__, like I said, I don't think it's even possible | 02:26 |
| meskarune | it is possible | 02:26 |
| _Marcus | Lunar_Lander: Yes | 02:26 |
| meskarune | people install windows on netbooks with usb install media | 02:26 |
| psusi | the Ubuntu iso images are now hybrid so you can just dd them to a usb drive and boot them, but I don't think Microsoft has caught onto that yet | 02:26 |
| Lunar_Lander | _Marcus: I got 11.10, will it update to 12.04 automatically? | 02:27 |
| walrus__ | Maybe not from xubuntu, but I have done it with command prompt and it worked, but not having access to a windows install at the moment I was hoping to do it from xubuntu | 02:27 |
| _Marcus | Lunar_Lander: I have no idea. I'm too new to Ubuntu to know if it updates major versions like that. | 02:27 |
| mun | hi | 02:27 |
| _Marcus | Lunar_Lander: My guess is: No | 02:27 |
| psusi | Lunar_Lamp, it will prompt you to upgrade when the time comes | 02:27 |
| Canadian1296 | walrus__: I asked in #windows. Try this: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool | 02:27 |
| escott | Lunar_Lamp, it will automatically offer you the opportunity to do the update and suggest it, but you have to click yes | 02:27 |
| mun | does anyone know of a easy way to bind keyboard keys to a mouse button? | 02:27 |
| walrus__ | I'm not making a bootable windows installation, just the installer itsself | 02:27 |
| Ben64 | Lunar_Lander: it won't do it for you, but you can start the upgrade | 02:27 |
| Lunar_Lander | yea | 02:27 |
| walrus__ | I can't use that tool, I don't have windows | 02:28 |
| walrus__ | Just ubuntu | 02:28 |
| Lunar_Lander | I remember from 10.10 when I booted in LIVE Mode, there was a window coming up "Do you want to Upgrade to 11.10?" | 02:28 |
| Lunar_Lander | something like this will appear then? | 02:28 |
| Ben64 | Lunar_Lander: yes | 02:28 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 02:28 |
| Canadian1296 | walrus__: You just have to burn an iso to a memory stcik. You can do that in ubuntu | 02:28 |
| Lunar_Lander | is a version jump big? | 02:28 |
| psusi | Canadian1296, that only works if it is a hybrid iso | 02:28 |
| Lunar_Lander | i.e. like a big download? | 02:28 |
| psusi | Lunar_Lander, yes | 02:29 |
| walrus__ | Canadian1296: I just can't figure out how to do it | 02:29 |
| Lunar_Lander | can you give me a ballpark number? | 02:29 |
| walrus__ | Well | 02:29 |
| Lunar_Lander | like the size of a CD or so? | 02:29 |
| psusi | Lunar_Lander, give or take, yea | 02:29 |

| kingnebula | How is ATI support under linux | 02:37 |
| kingnebula | I'm deciding between NVidia and AMD* | 02:38 |
| meskarune | kingnubula: I have had great luck with nvidia cards, but I heard that ati was releasing open source drivers, so idk | 02:38 |
| Yabden | historically I think many would agree that ATI support is not as good | 02:39 |
| escott | kingnebula, ati has some actual open source efforts, but you often hear people suggest that nvidia has better quality drivers | 02:39 |
| cJether | hello | 02:40 |
| Yabden | I am not sure how ATI stacks up right at this moment, but in terms of Linux drivers they have not been well received in the past | 02:40 |
| kingnebula | I've been doign some reading. And it seems that ATI/AMD used to be garbage.. but are making linux a priority I'm wondering if it is up to par with multi-monitor / 3D performance as the nvidia ones | 02:40 |
| meskarune | kingnebula: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=735&num=1 | 02:41 |
| OerHeks | kingnebula, wait for 12.04, a lot improvement. | 02:41 |
| whumphrey | Is it normal to be prompted with three options in the grub when you launch Ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| Lunar_Lander | thanks again _Marcus, psusi and Ben64 | 02:42 |
| OerHeks | whumphrey, yes | 02:42 |
| Lunar_Lander | I wish you a good night! | 02:42 |
| whumphrey | OerHeks, thanks | 02:43 |
| escott | whumphrey, you can disable it by modifying /etc/default/grub | 02:43 |
| OerHeks | whumphrey, would you hide the grubmenu ? | 02:43 |
| ssshvb | Hello guys i am trying to convert rpm to dep and ive got this $ for i in *.rpm; do sudo alien -cv $i; done | 02:44 |
| ssshvb | LANG=C rpm -qp --queryformat %{NAME} 'adlmapps4-4.0.35-0.x86_64.rpm' sh: rpm: not found | 02:44 |
| ssshvb | Error executing "LANG=C rpm -qp --queryformat %{NAME} 'adlmapps4-4.0.35-0.x86_64.rpm'": at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package.pm line 489. | 02:44 |
| whumphrey | OerHeks, I can't remember but I think that it was the default which was originally caught my attention | 02:44 |
| OerHeks | ssshvb, why convert rpm to deb, is there no source available ? | 02:44 |
| whumphrey | OerHeks, so I'm not sure how to answer that question | 02:44 |
| ssshvb | no | 02:44 |
| meskarune | ssshvb: why don't you install from source instead...? | 02:45 |
| ssshvb | what do you mean ? | 02:45 |
| meskarune | ssshvb: what program are you trying to isntall? | 02:45 |
| ssshvb | maya sp2 | 02:45 |

| jonathon | Simple scan not recoginizing HP scanner after adding HP mfd. Removed HP printer, but Simple Scan does not pickup other scanner at first. Any help? | 02:47 |
| Jordan_U | kingnebula: ATI has better open source drivers (as they actively pay open source developers), Nvidia has better proprietary drivers. | 02:49 |
| meskarune | kingnebula: reading is how you learn! plus the article is really interesting. (I've read it) | 02:49 |
| kingnebula | Do you know which will have better webgl support? | 02:50 |
| kingnebula | meskarune: i agree :) but ssss.. drivers don't interest me :p | 02:50 |
| Jordan_U | kingnebula: I would expect it to be comparable, though that's just an educated guess. | 02:50 |
| escott | kingnebula, webgl=worst idea ever. another thing to consider is wayland if you plan to use the same machine in 2-3 years that might be a problem with nvidia. i have no idea what their upgrade path is | 02:51 |
| kingnebula | escott: :O why do you think its the worst idea ever? | 02:51 |
| kingnebula | Its the colest thing ever | 02:51 |
| Gskellig | what is the best way to view all the users/groups on an ubuntu server? | 02:52 |

| escott | kingnebula, executing machine code downloaded from god knows where on your gpu... what could possibly go wrong :) | 02:53 |
| mun | hi | 02:53 |
| kingnebula | escott: <_< you don't download machine code, you use javascript | 02:53 |
| escott | Gskellig, /etc/groups | 02:53 |
| mun | does anyone here have a mouse with a tilt wheel? mine already has a back and forward button and i don't know what i should map tilt left and right to. any suggestions? | 02:53 |
| brimlar | kingnebula: just for something anecdotal, I went with ATI for this recent computer build (3 months ago), having always previously preferred nVidia...and it is a really nice experience. updates are flawless, performance is great...ymmv | 02:53 |
| kingnebula | brimlar: hmm maybe i'll try an AMD card for a change | 02:54 |
| kingnebula | escott: I like playing games. And i like Linux. i think webgl is great because it will lower the barrier for people wanting to switch to linux. I know atleast 5 people who want to jump to the linux camp but aren't ready to giveup their games. | 02:55 |
| escott | kingnebula, the actual gl code gets run directly on the gpu. its supposed to be a restricted set, but its not interpreted in the way that javascript is. | 02:55 |
| const_antine | can anyone recommend a good general purpose audio/video recoder? | 02:56 |
| kingnebula | ffmpeg | 02:56 |
| const_antine | thank you | 02:57 |
| meskarune | const_antine: cheese | 02:57 |
| kingnebula | you are welcome | 02:57 |
| meskarune | cheese records audio and video from a webcam | 02:57 |
| OerHeks | mun: tilt right > webcam-photo tilt left: imagebin it | 02:57 |
| kingnebula | yah, ffmpeg is commandline.. I think it has a few front-end GUIs but haven't had luck with them | 02:57 |
| kingnebula | escott: I suppose you do have a valid point there | 02:58 |
| meskarune | http://projects.gnome.org/cheese/ | 02:58 |
| OerHeks | cheese is standard installed | 02:59 |
| meskarune | a lot of games can be played in linux with wine, and you can get awesome linux games from the indie humble bundle | 02:59 |
| const_antine | ...cheese? | 03:00 |
| meskarune | cheese is in reference to people who say "cheese" to a camera | 03:00 |
| const_antine | recoder, not recorder | 03:01 |
| kingnebula | const_antine: yah for recoder ffmpeg is your best friend | 03:01 |
| const_antine | my gf would add moustaches and silly hats to our photos on her phone | 03:01 |
| meskarune | hahaha. thats like a brain typo. lol | 03:02 |
| escott | kingnebula, its more concerning given the increasingly blurred distinctions between cpu/gpu.... anyone who suggested that we download machine code and execute it on the cpu would be labeled as insane, but somehow its ok with the gpu, nevermind that the next iterations of the gpu are going to have their own memory controllers | 03:03 |
| kingnebula | escott: I'm sure, and hope, that security mesures will be put in place as the platform evolves. | 03:04 |
| kingnebula | because i'm investing heavily in webgl :D | 03:04 |
| kingnebula | escott: has anyone found any exploits though? I mean firefox and chrome already have it enabled by default if your graphics drivers support it. If it is as big a security hole as you say, how come it hasn't been taken advantage of | 03:06 |
| kingnebula | and Opera is to have it in theri next release | 03:06 |
| bagels | I've been trying to uninstall/reinstall audacity, I changed a setting and even though I marked it for complete removal, rebooted, and reinstalled, my settings are still there. Help? | 03:06 |

| bilbo_ | is a segfault strictly a drive failure or could it be other componets? | 03:09 |
| glen | u busy bangles | 03:09 |
| kingnebula | bilbo_: anything can cause a segfault | 03:09 |
| bilbo_ | how do i narrow it down? | 03:09 |
| kingnebula | including faulty software not just limited to drivers | 03:09 |
| leo-unglaub | hi, i just tryed to install ubuntu from an usb drive but the installations al ways fails because ubuntu doesn't found the cd rom drive sr0 ? why is ubuntu trying to load the cd rom drive if the complete iso is on the stick? | 03:10 |
| kingnebula | bilbo_: it should say what caused the segfault | 03:10 |
| escott | kingnebula, CERT advises it be disabled. I've not heard or anyone using it as a vector at this point. The big problem in my mind is that any attempt to secure it is in direct contradiction to the purpose of having it. You have to strictly monitor the opengl calls and potentially emulate some of them to avoid executing dangerous code where the point of using opengl was to give more direct access to hardware. | 03:10 |
| leo-unglaub | i flashed with dd and the hybrid image and also tryed the usb creator | 03:10 |
| glen | i got rebuffed once by asking if i could ask a question and was told to simply ask, so.... | 03:10 |
| bilbo_ | ah reading..... error 4 in python? | 03:10 |
| OerHeks | leo-unglaub, use unetbootin, and check the iso first with md5sum | 03:11 |
| bilbo_ | ok so i guess that is good at least it inst a drive | 03:11 |
| === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora | ||
| leo-unglaub | OerHeks: i checked the iso and also tryed another oone from the xubuntu series | 03:11 |
| glen | my auspicious panel of intellectuals, i simply want to install updates and during the process it says that it can't finish installing | 03:11 |
| leo-unglaub | same problem | 03:11 |
| papna___ | I'm on an Ubuntu 11.10 machine and my screen resolution settings are restricted to 800x600 and 1024x768, the latter of which is not displaying correctly (the desktop is too wide for the monitor). This used to work fine. Can anyone provide advice? | 03:12 |
| leo-unglaub | i also tryed mounting the iso manually from the rescue console | 03:12 |
| bilbo_ | is there a log of program errors other than syslog? | 03:12 |
| leo-unglaub | but ubuntu is dounig an umount every time before reading | 03:12 |
| glen | ping timeout | 03:13 |
| === papna___ is now known as papna__ | ||
| OerHeks | leo-unglaub, oke, odd solution! >> disabled the floppy controller from BIOS | 03:14 |
| bilbo_ | is there a t utility to identify which program is using a package? | 03:14 |
| leo-unglaub | OerHeks: disable or unplug? | 03:14 |
| OerHeks | leo-unglaub, just disable it. | 03:15 |

| sx_usr__ | hi guys, how can I configure my Ubuntu 11.10 to allow my USB connection to my android phone for tethering?/ | 03:15 |
| sx_usr__ | is it something called reverse tethering? | 03:15 |
| Archie | lol | 03:15 |
| glen | hey sx_usr | 03:15 |
| leo-unglaub | OerHeks: okay, i will try that. yccording to google i am not the only one with this problem, do you think i should file a bug report? http://www.7loop.com/content/install-ubuntu-server-usb-without-cd | 03:15 |
| glen | i actually know something about thaty | 03:15 |
| glen | that* | 03:16 |
| glen | pdaNet | 03:16 |
| papna__ | It looks like the bot's screen reolution help link is all back in the xorg.conf days and focused on Gnome. | 03:16 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: can u provide more info? | 03:16 |
| OerHeks | leo-unglaub, can't find a recent one, only ones from 2008/2009 | 03:16 |
| glen | yes...first go to the market | 03:16 |
| glen | look up pdanet | 03:17 |
| glen | then it will give u a web site | 03:17 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: www.pdanet.com? | 03:17 |
| OerHeks | leo-unglaub, what hardware are you trying to install ? | 03:17 |
| glen | maybe...but use the android martket | 03:17 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: ok | 03:17 |
| glen | it will give u download | 03:17 |
| leo-unglaub | OerHeks: intel i7, 16gb ddr3 ram, ssd-raid0 | 03:18 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: cheers | 03:18 |
| glen | then it will direct u to a web site to install it on your machine | 03:18 |
| glen | wait...theres more | 03:18 |
| share | there is no /dev/lirc0 in Ubuntu Maverick - kernel 2.6.35-32 | 03:18 |
| share | wtf | 03:18 |
| glen | i used pdanet | 03:18 |
| OerHeks | leo-unglaub, should not have a floppy disc installed, awesome | 03:18 |
| glen | it starts out fine, and then after some time it will begin not allow u to access secure sites | 03:19 |
| glen | unless u purchase the full package | 03:19 |
| glen | however...it worked great | 03:19 |
| glen | i first jail broke my ipad | 03:19 |
| leo-unglaub | OerHeks: moment, why floppy? is sr0 not the cd rom drive? | 03:20 |
| glen | then used pdanet to use for wireless hot spot | 03:20 |
| glen | worked even better | 03:20 |
| glen | u still sx | 03:20 |
| OerHeks | leo-unglaub, the solution is only valid if there is a floppy drive installed, ofcourse | 03:20 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: this pdanet is for windows? | 03:21 |
| leo-unglaub | i just disabled the cd rom drive | 03:21 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: does it support Ubuntu 11.10? | 03:21 |
| leo-unglaub | but the eror still exists | 03:21 |
| glen | it does | 03:21 |
| glen | it supports ubuntu, win, and mac | 03:21 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: cool! im downloading it now! | 03:21 |
| glen | however...if you root your droid there are several more apps that allow tethering and wireless tethering | 03:22 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: my droid is rooted :P | 03:22 |
| glen | awesome | 03:22 |
| OerHeks | leo-unglaub, i am not well known with xubuntu, but to start with raid0, i need ubuntu alternate cd to do so... | 03:22 |
| sx_usr__ | gen: but basically i just need internet connection from my notebook to phone | 03:22 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: i can do usb tethering from phone to notebook with no problem | 03:23 |
| leo-unglaub | OerHeks: i an only using the alternate disc. and i just tryed the xubuntu to make sure it's not my normal ubuntu image | 03:23 |
| glen | so you are trying to do reverse tethering | 03:23 |
| glen | i did that via my opad | 03:23 |
| sx_usr__ | glen: exactly! | 03:23 |
| glen | ipad | 03:23 |
| leo-unglaub | i had the raid running for the last year without any problems | 03:23 |

| === ar0nic is now known as marowanna | ||
| urfr332g0 | bascotie, in 11.10 sudo update-grub | 04:14 |
| Yabden | bascotie you could boot to a linux cd, mount your ubuntu system, and set up grub again to include windows | 04:14 |
| Yabden | or do that | 04:14 |
| bascotie | urfr332g0: I can't get into Ubuntu, it goes straight to Windows Server | 04:14 |
| bascotie | Yabden: I'm a big newb to linux terminal, do you know a good write up for this? | 04:14 |
| x-jd-x | bascotie; I know that if you install lilo as the boot loader then back up the mbr dd if=/dev/disk of=lilo.mbr you can configure bcdedit to boot ubuntu. Or just use grub as you said. | 04:14 |
| DejahThoris | bascotie; sounds like you need to change the boot drive in the bios | 04:14 |
| urfr332g0 | bascotie, you have ubuntu at all you sya you had ubuntu | 04:14 |

| cfhowlett | arcfide greetings | 04:16 |
| urfr332g0 | trailblazerz11, this the only OS? | 04:16 |
| bascotie | Nevermind, I'll search for adding windows to grub2 and let you know | 04:16 |
| arcfide | I have some software that I am developing, and it uses MetaPost from TeX Live. I sent it out for testing and two people with Ubuntu machines reported issues with getting the meta post working. | 04:16 |

| DejahThoris | bascotie; since it's on separate hdds, you can probably use your system bios as a boot menu | 04:17 |
| urfr332g0 | bascotie, reload grub with a live cd then when in ubuntu run sudo update-grub | 04:17 |

I first configure login as my force command and the session closes because login: Cannot possibly work without effective root. So I add the user to sudoers with permissions to run /bin/login but then bec | 04:20 |
| x-jd-x | n my shell also tries to run under sudo which I did not allow nor do I want it to | 04:20 |

| Ben64 | x-jd-x: what are you trying to do | 04:23 |
| x-jd-x | as my ForceCommand? No I will have to see if sshd_config allow for a %u or something to substiude the user automatically. | 04:23 |

| x-jd-x | I am trying to create a two factor authentication for ssh. I do not consider a key password to be a second factor.

| bloopletech | wierd, the max min close buttons are staying over on the right end of the title bar | 05:00 |
| orated | mangdood: Yes. I don't get the fsck part as to why its doing that. As far as I see even nfs and ntfs mounts as per fstab are taking time which I disabled. What process of KDE do you find taking time? | 05:01 |
| trailblazerz11 | Mind explaing su22 i r nub | 05:01 |
| x-jd-x | Ben64; It also allows password polices to take effect in the login process. Unless I am missing something that would seem pretty secure. | 05:01 |
| urfr332g0 | trailblazerz11, you might go to the ubuntu forums and start a thread and pot the bootscript, your set up if you don't identify iy to the channel will not get fixed correctly. | 05:01 |
| urfr332g0 | post* | 05:01 |
| Ben64 | x-jd-x: it is basically the same type of authentication twice, pretty redundant | 05:01 |
| su22 | Hey is there any cool Ubuntu app to get Facebook updates?? [Not Gwibber] | 05:02 |
| mangdood | orated, KDE for the login screen and for starting your kde session takes a butt load of time | 05:02 |
| x-jd-x | Ben64; once with a key and once with a password. Something you have and something you know. | 05:02 |
| almoxarife | su22: what is a 'facebook update'? | 05:02 |
| su22 | oh sorry almoxarife....It is not Update..It is 'Notification'!! | 05:03 |
| su22 | Facebook notifications | 05:03 |
| almoxarife | mangdood: i dont see that issue | 05:03 |
| orated | mangdood: Agreed. Time till KDM is ~40s which is also. Its not KDE alone | 05:04 |
| bobo37774 | su22: What about empathy? I am pretty sure that works with facebook | 05:04 |
| orated | ..also more than normal* | 05:04 |
| su22 | Ben64 "dmesg | tail -n 25" I executed..But it is not working... | 05:04 |
| su22 | bobo37774...It is just for chatting | 05:04 |
| x-jd-x | Ben64; both have to pass or the connection does not succeed. and you just configure ssh to only allow key authentication then su will get the password part. I don't know. | 05:04 |
| baoyu_yang | when i install software, the status always is Applying changes | 05:05 |
| bobo37774 | su22: Oh I see what you're saying | 05:05 |
| Ben64 | su22: try just "dmesg" then | 05:05 |
| bloopletech | x-jd-x: what are you trying to do? | 05:05 |
| su22 | Ben64: NOT WORKING...:( | 05:06 |
| Ben64 | su22: you must not be typing it correctly then | 05:06 |
| brerrabbit | Ok...i know Im totally about to get chased out of here for asking this...but where could someone go to learn about centos for an ubuntu user? | 05:06 |
| mangdood | orated, It seems to me that mounting and checking your disks takes 20 seconds, some random processes that I don't know take about 10 seconds and KDM takes the rest of the time... | 05:06 |
| bazhang | brerrabbit, in what context | 05:06 |
| brerrabbit | server | 05:06 |
| bloopletech | brerrabbit: probably the centos website, I think they have a wiki, maybe there's a #centos? | 05:06 |
| Bobenhaus | question: is it possible to add the PearOS UI to Ubuntu? | 05:07 |
| x-jd-x | su22; try cat /var/log/dmesg | tail -n 25 | 05:07 |
| bazhang | #centos brerrabbit | 05:07 |
| brerrabbit | i thought it would be similar...but EVERYTHING is different | 05:07 |
| Ben64 | brerrabbit: except for packages, it is very similar | 05:07 |
| brerrabbit | #bazhang...i tried #centos | 05:07 |
| somsip | su22: tail -n 25 -f /var/log/syslog | 05:07 |
| brerrabbit | Ben64....there are odd things...no sudo, cant touch file.txt | 05:08 |
| brerrabbit | etc | 05:08 |
| brerrabbit | can't save a file from pico etc | 05:08 |
| Ben64 | brerrabbit: touch works fine in centos | 05:08 |
| cfhowlett | brerrabbit we learn by doing... | 05:08 |
| su22 | somsip..What is that? | 05:08 |
| brerrabbit | yes we do cfhowlett... | 05:08 |
| bazhang | Bobenhaus, the mac os looking one? | 05:09 |
| somsip | su22: you seem to be receiving differing advice on how to tail dmesg. | 05:09 |
| bazhang | brerrabbit, check their wiki then. centos is offtopic here | 05:09 |
| su22 | yeah..Bit confusing...I'm not technically sound | 05:10 |
| brerrabbit | yeah...i wasnt trying to initiate a discussion here, more like a "go here" | 05:10 |
| brerrabbit | i know better... | 05:10 |
| bazhang | you could try alis | 05:10 |

| kraz3d | How can I install the gnome batterystatus app in KDE and get rid of KDE's default one? | 05:13 |
| almoxarife | i prefer the gui version of 'tail' its called 'log-viewer' | 05:13 |
| mangdood | almoxarife, LOL | 05:14 |
| kraz3d | I installed the ppa repository's and everything, but how do I run the application? | 05:14 |
| almoxarife | kraz3d: what ppa? | 05:14 |
| ludwin01 | kraz 3d why dont you change your desktop to gnome? | 05:15 |
| kraz3d | I don't want to | 05:15 |
| kraz3d | I prefer KDE | 05:15 |
| bobo37774 | kraz3d: gnome apps go on gnome-panel are you using gnome panel? | 05:15 |
| kraz3d | however, I'm having problems with the battery monitor | 05:15 |
| kraz3d | ah | 05:15 |
| kraz3d | no | 05:15 |

| almoxarife | kraz3d: i dont know how installing a gnome applet is going to solve your 'batt' issues | 05:15 |
| Ben64 | ludwin01: thats not entirely true. gedit works fine in kde, k3b works fine in gnome | 05:16 |
| ludwin01 | use one designed in kde. | 05:16 |
| almoxarife | ludwin01: not true, gnome apps work fine in kubuntu | 05:16 |
| kraz3d | okay, in the case.. what is another battery monitor I can use? does anyone know | 05:17 |
| ludwin01 | kde vrs gnome epic battle | 05:17 |

| klenwell | Hi. I'm back. I successfully installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my new HP g7-1310us but on reboot the dark screen issue is back. I'm looking at this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132... | 05:18 |
| bobo37774 | okay | 05:18 |
| cfhowlett | kraz3d see "screenlets" lots of monitors and can easily config for KDE | 05:18 |
| klenwell | Do I need to do the temp boot options then the permanent boot options? | 05:18 |
| mangdood | kraz3d, more like the system can't detect your battery; my laptop can't either | 05:18 |
| ludwin01 | yeah screenlets..daemon | 05:18 |
| klenwell | I'm logged in now, but can't see a thing. :) | 05:18 |
| kraz3d | well, I know my laptop uses optimus technology and I haven't installed bumblebee yet, mangdood.. that may be it | 05:19 |
| mangdood | klenwell, mind telling the problem again | 05:19 |
| cfhowlett | kraz3d if you're running a "replacement" battery that's NOT eom, expect detection problems | 05:19 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, you figure out how to put nomodeset in the kernel to get in update and upgrade and check additional drivers for any needed. | 05:19 |
| cfhowlett | *oem* | 05:19 |
| kraz3d | cfhowlett: nope, oem battery. | 05:19 |
| klenwell | mangdood it's this nomodeset issue here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 | 05:19 |
| klenwell | urfr332g0 Is that a question? | 05:20 |
| mangdood | klenwell, so did you use the nomodeset option? | 05:20 |
| klenwell | mangdood Yes, for install. But looks like I need to set it again. | 05:20 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, yes have you figured out the adding nomodeset to te kernel to boot in? | 05:21 |
| urfr332g0 | the* | 05:21 |
| bascotie | Boot Repair disk takes forever to scan for systems | 05:22 |
| bascotie | It's been like 15 minutes lol | 05:22 |
| mangdood | klenwell, you'll need to boot up with nomodeset and change some of your grub files, ESPECIALLY the scripts used to generate the grub entries | 05:22 |
| mangdood | klenwell, you'll have to look that up though | 05:22 |

| ludwin01 | what kind of lcd gives taht trouble...? | 05:23 |
| ludwin01 | *that* | 05:23 |
| urfr332g0 | mangdood, it may just need a driver | 05:23 |
| kraz3d | See, that shitty stock battery widget did suck. 'Battery Monitor' is actually working correctly | 05:24 |
| klenwell | urfr332g0 Ok. So I don't have any experience fiddling with grub files. How do I get at them? Is that an option on boot up? | 05:24 |
| mangdood | urfr332g0, oops :D | 05:25 |
| mangdood | good luck everyone with their rather unfortunate tech problems :P, good night | 05:25 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, it syas how on theat web page from the grub menu, do that get in update the OS and check additional drivers to see if there is one waiting. | 05:25 |
| urfr332g0 | says* | 05:25 |
| ludwin01 | @kraz3d battery status ok? | 05:26 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, a change at then grub menu is not permanent, I doubt you will need to change any grub kernel notations permanently. | 05:26 |
| kraz3d | ludwin01: Yes, thankyouj. | 05:27 |
| klenwell | urfr332g0 ok, thanks. Will give it a go. | 05:27 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, cool your probably just missing a driver like for a nvidia graphics card. | 05:27 |

| rectec | Hi. I tried asking this on #ubuntu-unity , but nobody's answering. So I'll ask you fine folks. | 05:29 |
| rectec | I'm not very clear on HUD's development. Will the code be merged with Unity? If so, does anybody know when? | 05:29 |
| bazhang | !hud | rectec read this yet? | 05:30 |
| ubottu | rectec read this yet?: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will include the first step in a major new approach to application interfaces, the Head-Up Display, or HUD, which will ultimately replace menus in Unity applications. See http://ubottu.com/y/hud for the background on this and discuss it in #ubuntu+1 or #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:30 |

| arunkumar413 | ludwin01: there is no such thing as unrar non-free in software centre | 05:55 |
| `Korvin | I had this same issue trying to run sublime-text-2 while others online said it worked fine. I dismissed it, and installed from a apt with a repo I found online | 05:56 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, you might try the ubuntu forums as well, over 60,000 regular users. | 05:56 |
| ludwin01 | @klenwell in my opinion is a bad idea to mess with grubfile | 05:56 |
| ludwin01 | @arunkumar413 add the nonfree repositories | 05:57 |
| urfr332g0 | ludwin01, your just not being accurate man the nomodeset in the kernel is a common procedure | 05:57 |
| arunkumar413 | ludwin01: how | 05:57 |
| bambanx | guys exist any way for see my minimized windows on unity? | 05:57 |
| `Korvin | Ben64, I'm for sure typing it correctly | 05:58 |
| urfr332g0 | bambanx, not in the left panel? | 05:58 |
| Ben64 | `Korvin: well you're missing something | 05:58 |
| ludwin01 | @urfr332g0 ok my bad | 05:58 |
| `Korvin | I figured that much =p | 05:58 |
| urfr332g0 | ludwin01, cool. | 05:59 |
| `Korvin | Ben64, looks like this is the same issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1775076 | 05:59 |
| Ben64 | `Korvin: unlikely | 06:00 |
| `Korvin | It's the same description | 06:00 |
| `Korvin | Ben64, looks like it's due to the fact that I've got it located in a shared ntfs partition | 06:01 |
| Ben64 | that would have been quite important to say previously | 06:02 |

| klenwell | urfr332g0, ludwin01: Well, I updated grub but didn't run sudo-update grub command, so I still get the dark screen on boot. How do I get to the grub menu? Should I hold down shift? I got it once but can't seem to get it now. | 06:02 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, if you put nomodeset in the kernel in the OS you have to run update grub... The permanent fix in that link | 06:03 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, yeah shift | 06:04 |
| klenwell | urfr332g0 I know. I missed that last part. But now I can't get the grub menu? I've rebooted my machine like 6 times now. Should I hold it, press it at a particular point? Trying again... | 06:04 |
| klenwell | urfr332g0 Holding it worked. :D | 06:05 |
| ludwin01 | @urf332g0 lets try another way | 06:05 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, hold down right after hitting the power on | 06:05 |
| urfr332g0 | cool klenwell | 06:06 |
| ludwin01 | @klenwell the 10.04 version lts its supposed to not give that kind of trouble... | 06:06 |
| ludwin01 | @urfr332g0 cool to help klenwell | 06:08 |

| Stanley00 | hi, i'm using Ubuntu 11.10, and now pidgin wont show up in message indicator. How can I get it back? | 06:10 |
| klenwell | urfr332g0 ludwin01 ok. I updated grub and rebooted and screen's ok. If resolution's off, I can't tell. :) So I'm going to stick with this for now and hope a driver shows up in the future. I'll add a little writeup to AskUbuntu tomorrow on getting setup on this brand of laptop and maybe add a question on the forum. Thanks again for all your help. | 06:12 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, resolution is on check display for resolutions | 06:12 |
| urfr332g0 | no problem | 06:13 |
| ludwin01 | @klenwell no hay problema | 06:13 |
| klenwell | urfr332g0 When I click displays it says Unknown. Resoluton is set to 1600x900 but it's grayed out. | 06:14 |
| urfr332g0 | klenwell, it probably just has one default now with the nomodeset in the kernel, justa guess really. | 06:15 |
| klenwell | urfr332g0 Eveything is grayed out in Displays dialogue. :( But looks ok to me. As long as it works... :) | 06:16 |

| danieldeusing | well, okay ill ask different: using tcpdump i get an output of my packets including a length information. sometimes this information is equals 0 that means that the packet has no data. knowing that the minimum packet size is 64Byte, this means that the packet has 64Bytes. Sometimes I have others length values like 95 ... my question is, if the 95Bytes are the total packet length or the user data length | 06:26 |

| hydrox24 | Sach: jQuery should be fully ubuntu compatible, so I am not sure I am with you? | 06:30 |
| bazhang | Sach, not seen one, no. the original seems to be only for windows and Mac | 06:31 |
| Sach | hydrox24, the downloadable file is .exe, which doesn't run wih Wine. | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | should be able to do it all manually | 06:31 |
| hydrox24 | Sach: I see, do they provide a program for creating a slider? | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | make an example on windows, look at the code it generates, and simulate it yourself | 06:32 |
| Sach | hydrox24: yes, but only for windows and mac | 06:32 |

| Stanley00 | cfhowlett: ah, thanks for trying to help. | 06:41 |
| somsip | tyler: I wanted to tidy it up when I was using it, but found that the docky icon was not removable. Is that what you mean? Maybe 9 mnths ago so could've changed since then | 06:41 |

| rbrooks | ahh | 07:03 |

| NixGeek | beasty: are you talking about a mirror type raid? | 08:23 |
| niklasfi | beasty: what do you mean by mirror? RAID? exact image copy at some point in time? copying all files from one platter to the other at regular intervals or user triggered? | 08:23 |
| NixGeek | or do you want to perform a backup | 08:23 |
| beasty | just want to have sda synced with sdb | 08:23 |
| terminhell | sounds like a xorg issue | 08:24 |
| beasty | for if for instance sda crashes i can just put in sdb | 08:24 |
| beasty | and resume normal operation | 08:24 |
| terminhell | with the video stuff | 08:24 |
| dRounse | what is mysql? | 08:25 |
| terminhell | !mysql | 08:25 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 08:25 |
| niklasfi | beasty: what you are talking about sounds like using RAID1, but i suggest you do propper backups. | 08:25 |
| randOmize | Hi there! Every time I start up Ubuntu says something like , "The disk drive for /windows is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery". Then the disks show up in the file system. | 08:25 |
| randOmize | I think the fstab looks alright | 08:25 |
| dRounse | i just dont understand what a mysql server does | 08:26 |
| terminhell | its for databases | 08:26 |
| slobro | dRounse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL | 08:26 |
| urfr332g0 | randOmize, check the uuid and fsteb? | 08:26 |
| urfr332g0 | fstab* | 08:26 |
| dRounse | ive looked it up, i just dont get what are the databases for | 08:26 |
| beasty | niklasfi: yes i have 2 backup location for that + i put all my projects in a .git | 08:27 |
| slobro | store data | 08:27 |
| slobro | from whatever | 08:27 |
| terminhell | organizing data | 08:27 |
| slobro | for whatever | 08:27 |
| NixGeek | beasty: if you do raid1 and sda goes down, you might have problems booting from sdb if you just replaced sda with it (since it will now see nothing for sdb)... you might be able to use a usb stick or cd to boot from, using mdstat to remove to unused drive | 08:27 |
| dvhh | dRounse : why are you interested ? | 08:27 |
| beasty | NixGeek: ok | 08:27 |
| urfr332g0 | randOmize, your swap may not be right look to see if it is mounted | 08:27 |
| beasty | NixGeek: i'll look if i can setup raid on my motherboard | 08:28 |
| randOmize | urfr332g0 i dont see the swap mounted in the file system | 08:28 |
| dRounse | dvhh: im not really interested in making one, i was setting up a home/file server running ubuntu server and it said do you want to make a lamp so i looked that up and saw mysql | 08:28 |
| beasty | btw should i install regular or with lvm ? | 08:28 |
| randOmize | also, I dont know what you mean by check the uuid | 08:28 |
| randOmize | sorry | 08:28 |
| dvhh | beasty : setting it up after would erase the drives | 08:28 |
| Fudge | anyone running ubuntu server 11.04 and up, wondering if dpkg -l | grep speakup returns results | 08:28 |
| urfr332g0 | randOmize, run sudo blkid and check the swap uuid against the fstab | 08:28 |
| beasty | dvhh: it's a freshly installed system | 08:28 |
| beasty | np | 08:28 |
| NixGeek | beasty: hardware raid from the mobo is the way to go because then you could remove the bad drive (ie sda) from the equation before boot time. That being said, I like niklasfi's suggestion of proper backup. Just replace drive with known good one and restore data | 08:29 |
| niklasfi | on that mysql related issue. i would like to use phpymadmin is there a way to get it without installing apache et all? http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/405597/ | 08:29 |
| dvhh | dRounse : if you don't know you don't need it :) | 08:29 |
| urfr332g0 | randOmize, run that command it is a set od letterand numbers identifying the partition it is in the fstab | 08:29 |
| dRounse | my server didnt work for some reason after installing, it wont boot, but that brings me to another question, if freenas 8 supports ssh what makes it different than an ubuntu server | 08:29 |
| Braden` | Hello | 08:30 |
| urfr332g0 | !uuid | randOmize | 08:30 |
| ubottu | randOmize: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 08:30 |
| dvhh | dRounse : samba or sftp | 08:30 |
| dRounse | dvhh: i know i didnt use that | 08:30 |
| Braden` | Does anyone know of a good web control panel for Ubuntu? | 08:30 |
| niklasfi | NixGeek: i heard a lot of bad things about mobo raid controllers | 08:30 |
| NixGeek | Braden` : webmin | 08:30 |
| beasty | soo ... should i got with regular or lvm ? :) | 08:30 |
| NixGeek | niklasfi: I've not used one, I'm software RAID on my buntu server | 08:30 |
| dRounse | dont use webmin for ubuntu | 08:31 |
| NixGeek | a full hardware controller is definitely the way to go... just $$$ | 08:31 |
| arunkumar413 | how to extract rar files without password | 08:31 |
| dRounse | it doesnt work anymore, well thats what i heard | 08:31 |
| farrukhjon | hi all! I need advice for building custom optimized kernel for HP Probook machine, may be anyone have experience of | 08:31 |
| randOmize | urfr332g0 These dont seem to be the same | 08:31 |
| beasty | NixGeek: €€€ is no issue | 08:31 |
| NixGeek | dRounse: I'm using it now | 08:31 |
| dRounse | arunkumar413: you can try to crack it | 08:32 |
| dRounse | NixGeek: what version of ubuntu | 08:32 |
| dedoera | what do i need to start programming? | 08:32 |
| urfr332g0 | randOmize, paste the one from the sudo blkid into the fstab so the match, replace the one there,. | 08:32 |
| niklasfi | beasty: then go hardware raid with a pcie card | 08:32 |
| dedoera | anything? | 08:32 |
| NixGeek | 11.10 | 08:32 |
| arunkumar413 | dRounse: how to crack | 08:32 |
| Braden` | Are there any that have a package that can be obtained from apt? | 08:32 |
| urfr332g0 | they* | 08:32 |
| Braden` | webmin doesn't have an apt package | 08:32 |
| terminhell | dRounse: have you tried john the ripper | 08:32 |
| niklasfi | dedoera: what do you want to program? are you looking for a way into programming as a whole? | 08:32 |
| dRounse | NixGeek: oh someone told me that it didnt work, sorry | 08:32 |
| randOmize | urfr332g0 it looks like theyre all wrong... | 08:32 |
| beasty | but thanks guys | 08:32 |
| dRounse | terminhell: not personally, | 08:33 |
| NixGeek | beasty: good luck | 08:33 |
| beasty | i'll come back to you tonight if i still have troubles | 08:33 |
| dedoera | niklasfi | 08:33 |
| beasty | :) | 08:33 |
| urfr332g0 | randOmize, make sure your correct your computer boots with that info. | 08:33 |
| dedoera | oops, yes, just looking at getting into it | 08:33 |
| terminhell | dRounse: it may do what you need. your going to have to decypher the password one way or another | 08:33 |
| dRounse | will freenas 8 with ssh allow me to access my files anywhere? | 08:33 |
| urfr332g0 | !fstab | randOmize | 08:33 |
| ubottu | randOmize: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 08:33 |
| dRounse | terminhell, that wasnt me that was arunkumar413 who needed it | 08:34 |
| dvhh | dRounse : if you map the port on your router | 08:34 |
| urfr332g0 | !pm | Random832 | 08:34 |
| ubottu | Random832: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 08:34 |
| urfr332g0 | randOmize, I don't do pm's | 08:34 |
| randOmize | ok thats fine | 08:34 |
| terminhell | dRounse: oops | 08:34 |
| dRounse | dvhh: is that difficult? sorry im kinda a noob | 08:34 |
| Braden` | Does webmin require I install webmin specific modules like apache, or can I use my ubuntu apache install with it? | 08:34 |
| niklasfi | dedoera: then i would suggest you learn python. it as a not-so-steep learning curve and you can do nearly everthing very easily. for learning python all you need is some patience and a good tutorial | 08:34 |
| dRounse | terminhell i was going to tell him to try that but you beat me to it | 08:35 |
| randOmize | so i did sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 08:35 |
| LachlanH | Hey guys. How can I run a script every time I log into the desktop? | 08:35 |
| arunkumar413 | dRounse: i don't have the password. I downloaded a movie compressed in rar format | 08:35 |
| dvhh | dRounse: your router should have a web interface to configure that | 08:35 |
| dedoera | where do i do the programming? | 08:35 |
| randOmize | urfr332g0 and that isnt the same uuid as the command you send me said | 08:35 |
| dRounse | arunkumar413 then its fake, sorry for that, when you get a rar file like that there is no movie in it, trust me | 08:35 |
| randOmize | so I should change it so they all match the results of the command you sent me? | 08:35 |
| niklasfi | dedoera: in any text editor you like. you can use gedit for example, which comes pre-installed | 08:35 |
| dedoera | excellent | 08:36 |
| dRounse | dvhh, i know that, but do i just pick sftp then the port and enable it? | 08:36 |
| dedoera | and you can just 'run' a txt file and its a program? | 08:36 |
| niklasfi | dedoera: basically. yes | 08:36 |
| urfr332g0 | randOmize, the ones in the blkid command are correct, you just want to make sure you know which uuiod is for which partition shown in fstab. | 08:36 |
| arunkumar413 | dRounse: i opened the rar and can see the movie file in it | 08:36 |
| urfr332g0 | uuid* | 08:36 |
| randOmize | yea theyre labeled | 08:36 |
| dvhh | dRounse : yes should work | 08:36 |
| randOmize | thanks for your help! | 08:37 |
| randOmize | I am so loving all of you folks of ubuntu irc. You make ubuntu amazing. Thanks!!!! | 08:37 |
| arunkumar413 | dRounse: problem is i'm unable to extract the rar without the password | 08:37 |
| niklasfi | dedoera: its been quite some time since i started programming, and python was not my first language, but i think http://www.diveintopython.net/toc/index.html could give you a good start | 08:37 |
| dRounse | arunkumar413 yea but its not really a movie, theyll tell you to go to a website and sign up for all kinds of crap before you get the password, ttrust me, i know you got a torrent | 08:37 |
| urfr332g0 | randOmize, cool you can also remove the uuid and just put /dev/sda? the question mark would be the partition number | 08:37 |
| dedoera | ill take a look, thanks | 08:37 |
| dvhh | dRounse : I got a nas that I can access from anywhere | 08:38 |
| dRounse | dvhh, ok thank you what port should i use? | 08:38 |
| arunkumar413 | dRounse: yeah, there is also a doc with instructions to signup to get the password | 08:38 |
| dvhh | dRounse : 22 is the standard one, depending on how you trust the strength of your password, but it is advised to use a non standard one | 08:39 |
| dRounse | arunkumar413: its basically impossible to open it or even get the password, trust me ive tried several times | 08:39 |
| arunkumar413 | dRounse: ok | 08:39 |
| arunkumar413 | dRounse: abandoning my effort. Thanks | 08:40 |
| dRounse | dvhh: well how would someone get into it? like id know how to access it, but do people try to hack into peoples hom seervers | 08:40 |
| dvhh | dRounse : another issue is also the external ip address or hostname | 08:40 |
| dvhh | dRounse : you would be surprised | 08:40 |
| dRounse | arunkumar413: when you download movies from torrents look to see if its a rar, if it is dont download | 08:40 |
| dRounse | dvhh: how do i set up an external ip address | 08:41 |
| arunkumar413 | dRounse: yeah sure. thanks for the info | 08:41 |
| dvhh | dRounse : you cannot set it up, your ISP choose it for you | 08:41 |
| dRounse | dvhh, wait just one question first, is freenas 8 with ssh any different than ubuntu server | 08:41 |
| dvhh | dRounse : can be an automated one or a static one | 08:42 |
| Engin | my ubuntu server is visible on the windows network with its host name... but that is not in the smb.conf, how the hell does this thing work ? (and i cannot browse my shares) | 08:42 |
| dvhh | dRounse : freenas is stable enough, I haven't tried ubuntu server | 08:42 |
| dRounse | dvhh so as far as playing my movies on another computer it will work? | 08:43 |
| orated | What is the term to fix a package so that it is not update/upgraded etc ? | 08:44 |
| mint | which method will fill up the usb drive in LESS time?: live with persistent save or full install to usb? | 08:44 |
| orated | I forgot the term | 08:44 |
| dvhh | dRounse : yes | 08:45 |
| dRounse | dvhh: ok thanks for the help | 08:45 |
| urfr332g0 | mint, persistent can't be cleaned and can't get kernel upgrade. | 08:45 |
| urfr332g0 | orated, you can pin in synaptic if you have it. | 08:46 |
| mint | so im better to install straight to usb if i dont want to fill up the drive? | 08:46 |
| orated | urfr332g0: Pinning! Thanks | 08:46 |
| dvhh | dRounse : np | 08:46 |
| === max is now known as Guest32864 | ||
| urfr332g0 | mint, yes basically, is it a thumb or HD? | 08:47 |
| urfr332g0 | flash or disc | 08:47 |
| mint | flash drive | 08:47 |
| urfr332g0 | mint, will run a little slower then a install to a external disc, maybe more hard to say. | 08:48 |
| urfr332g0 | internal* | 08:48 |
| mint | i was hoping that a full install would help with not filling up the drive so fast | 08:48 |
| mint | i want to use a 2gb stick for as long as possible | 08:48 |
| mint | with this persistent save i just did, i have already fillied up the drive on the first boot | 08:49 |
| urfr332g0 | mint, full install can be kept at install size with cleaning the cache etc | 08:49 |
| mint | then that is clearly the way to go | 08:49 |
| urfr332g0 | mint, 2 gigs is to small for a standard install. | 08:49 |
| urfr332g0 | mint, you would need\ | 08:50 |
| mint | 8? | 08:50 |
| urfr332g0 | mint, ubuntu wants a 4.2 size space to install in standard install even though tye install is about 3 gigs | 08:50 |
| urfr332g0 | the* | 08:51 |
| mint | i see | 08:51 |
| Braden` | Is there a way to force install ubuntu even if you don't have 4.5 gigs? | 08:51 |
| Braden` | I am not going to be installing xwindows, gnome, or anything like that | 08:51 |
| Seryth | Hey all, I'm having real trouble with pulseaudio. It was working fine a couple of days ago, and now it's suddenly not working. In the xfce volume control icon, instead of seeing my soundcard and stuff listed, it just says "Playback: Dummy Output (PulseAudio Mixer)" and the other option is "Capture: Monitor of Dummy Output (PulseAudio Mixer). This is really weird, I've not seen these before. What can I do? I wnt sound back ;__; | 08:52 |
| urfr332g0 | mint, there is a minimal/net install not sure of the limitations there. | 08:52 |
| mint | i dont mind using a bigger drive.. i just wish i could use a 2gb stick with the persistent save method. so far it just fills up insanely fast | 08:53 |
| dRounse | if i use freenas can i grab things from usenet and torrents directly to it or do i need to have them go to a computer first | 08:53 |
| urfr332g0 | Braden`, not that I know of, kind of a waste of time to be honest. | 08:53 |

| opalepatrick | I created a ext4 partition using gparted. I want it to have all my docs etc and have them available if I use another distro on another partition. Can I just auto mount this partition as root? | 08:54 |
| niklasfi | opalepatrick: what do you mean by "as root" shurely you can, if you are root in your system | 08:55 |
| urfr332g0 | opalepatrick, why would yhou want root, and name another distrom eh. | 08:55 |
| ServerSage | opalepatrick: You just want it to mount every time you reboot, correct? If so, take a look at your /etc/fstab file. | 08:56 |
| dRounse | opalepatrick: dont put it in root, just leave it where it is and if you wanna change distros it needs to be in the same "family" | 08:56 |
| urfr332g0 | dRounse, what is your definition of family? | 08:57 |
| dRounse | debian, ubuntu and mint are in the same family | 08:57 |
| dRounse | they are all debian based | 08:57 |
| urfr332g0 | dRounse, lol | 08:57 |
| dRounse | and ive never had trouble changing the distro and leaving the files intact | 08:57 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Why does that matter? You can mount and ext4 partition under just about any distro. | 08:58 |
| dRounse | ServerSage: he was talking about mounting it in root so it stays when he changes distros | 08:58 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: I took it as he wanted to mount it at boot AS root. | 08:59 |
| urfr332g0 | dRounse, which was a error in the question most open source does not run in root. | 08:59 |
| ServerSage | opalepatrick: Suppose you could clarify what it is you actually want to do since we are obviously confused..? | 09:00 |
| dRounse | ServerSage: oh, im so confused right now lol was he wrong or was i? | 09:00 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Confusion is abundant! Hehe. | 09:00 |
| urfr332g0 | dRounse, you bothe are. :) | 09:00 |
| dRounse | how am i wrong? | 09:00 |
| dRounse | i think youre wrong | 09:00 |
| dRounse | ! | wrong | 09:01 |
| dRounse | urfr332g0 is the definition of wrong | 09:01 |
| dRounse | ;) | 09:01 |
| urfr332g0 | dRounse, the use of family means nothing, most open source does not run in root, mounting a media disc in root is only applicable if the OS runs in root. | 09:01 |
| dRounse | urfr332g0 i was saying he didnt need anything in root, because if he wanted to change distros all his files would remain untouched | 09:02 |
| Hamed | every time i open my laptop I write this command to enable wifi sudo modprobe b43 is there any way to stop writing it every time ? | 09:02 |
| ServerSage | urfr332g0: Are you drinking? :) | 09:02 |
| urfr332g0 | ServerSage, I don't drink | 09:02 |
| ServerSage | Hamed: Take a look at /etc/modules and /etc/modules.d | 09:03 |
| dRounse | ServerSage, urfr332g0, i think we are all talking about different things | 09:03 |
| urfr332g0 | it was a question that made no sense in substance, no mention of any distro and a want of root in a media partition. | 09:03 |
| dRounse | I created a ext4 partition using gparted. I want it to have all my docs etc and have them available if I use another distro on another partition. Can I just auto mount this partition as root? | 09:04 |
| dRounse | thats what he wrote | 09:04 |
| urfr332g0 | In the words of buckwheat OTAY. | 09:04 |
| urfr332g0 | ;) | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | dRounse: you will need to mount it and change the ownership and permissions as needed. | 09:04 |
| ServerSage | dRounse urfr332g0: Since he isn't responding, we can safely move on. | 09:04 |
| ServerSage | Dr_willis: He wasn't asking, he was reposting somebody's else's question. :) | 09:05 |
| opalepatrick | Yes sorry called away - ServerSage, dRounse - actually I think I was getting confused thinking the file system was 'inside' the distro structure. The fstab ref is the one I want I believe. | 09:05 |
| dRounse | ServerSage are you good with servers? i have a serious question | 09:05 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Hit me. | 09:05 |
| urfr332g0 | ServerSage, lol you were responding as well not quite the hiogher road bro. ;) | 09:05 |
| urfr332g0 | higher | 09:05 |
| dRounse | is freenas 8 with ssh like an ubuntu server with ssh? | 09:06 |
| Dr_willis | I thought Freenas was BSD based | 09:06 |
| dRounse | i want to be able to access my files from not only my home network | 09:06 |
| ServerSage | urfr332g0: Not sure I said anything about higher roads…but you feel free to read anything you want into what I say. *shrug* | 09:06 |
| dRounse | Dr_willis: it is | 09:06 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Ummm, not sure what your question even means. BSD != ubuntu | 09:06 |
| Dr_willis | and its very specilized. :) for the job its designed to do. | 09:07 |
| urfr332g0 | ServerSage, lol | 09:07 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: If you are asking if BSD is the same as Ubuntu, no. :) | 09:08 |
| dRounse | well i know freeNAS is a NAS OS and ubuntu is a server OS, will they both do the same thing? I want it to server home media, and other files, to my desktop, laptop, tablet, etc... as well as serve my files to me while im not home | 09:08 |
| dRounse | ii know its not the same thing | 09:08 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: You can use Ubuntu as a NAS device. | 09:08 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: And you can use Ubuntu to serve up all your goodies to all the other systems on your network. | 09:09 |
| dRounse | but i saw that freeNAS 8 haas lot of new features that make it seem more like a file server | 09:09 |
| u890 | hello, I want to convert images files from TIFF to JPG format. This command "convert *.tiff *.jpg" works, but leaves out filenames with spaces. How should I change that command to add files with spaces? | 09:09 |
| Dr_willis | theres also specific 'services' designed for streaming/converting to tablets and so forth on the fly - like mobli i belive. | 09:09 |
| dRounse | i am just having trouble with ubuntu and freeNAS seems easier as far as the server | 09:09 |
| dRounse | i use ubuntu on my desktop | 09:09 |
| Dr_willis | u890: you may need to use the 'find' command and do some quoteing around teh file names argument. I tend to make it a point to NEVER use spaces in filenames :) | 09:10 |
| Seryth | Hey all, I'm having real trouble with pulseaudio. It was working fine a couple of days ago, and now it's suddenly not working.

| opalepatrick | just read that thread lol - basically I was thinking ubuntu & app files etc on partition1, myfiles on partition 2, partition 3 for testing other distros. Should have told you at the start instead of giving u my thinking halfway through | 09:10 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Are you looking to replace a FreeNAS setup with Ubuntu? | 09:10 |
| dRounse | ServerSage, kind of the other way around, basically is freenas less powerful as far as serving up goodies? | 09:11 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: I have limited FreeNAS experience, but in my limited use it did everything I needed. I didn't find it lacking for serving up files. | 09:11 |
| u890 | thank you, Dr. I will remember from now on to not use spaces. But can you perhaps show me how exactly use that 'find' command? | 09:12 |
| Hamed | lp | 09:12 |
| Hamed | (11:08:13 AM) Hamed: b43 this is my moudules file do you want me write sudo modprobe b43 after this lines | 09:12 |
| Dr_willis | dRounse: it will depend on how you are 'serving' things. what service. I dont see things like 'upnp' streaming services mentioned in the freenas docs. | 09:12 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: But, Ubuntu CAN do everything FreeNAS can do. | 09:12 |
| Dr_willis | u890: not really. id have to look up find examples. | 09:12 |
| dRounse | ok so which would you prefer? | 09:13 |
| ServerSage | Hamed: Take a look at /etc/modules and /etc/modules.d - just like I said when you posted last time. :) | 09:13 |
| Dr_willis | u890: checkout the various find examples and find with spaces in filenames | 09:13 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Ubuntu | 09:13 |
| u890 | ok, I'll try to find something in the internet. Thanks for your help. | 09:13 |
| poyntz | Hi, I want to mount a Sandisk key but I don't know where it is. I mounted all the /dev/sda* to different folders and none of them are the SanDisk key | 09:13 |
| Dr_willis | dRounse: it will totally depend on the details. Freenas is designed to be a fileserver as its main thing. its not as flexiable as a ubuntu box would be. but its more focused to the task | 09:13 |
| sgo11 | hi, gnome3 gnome-shell, ctrl+alt+shift+R for recording the screen, is that possible to pause? how to? thanks. | 09:13 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Simply because it's easier to do *more*. FreeNAS is built to do just one thing and one thing well, be a NAS divice. | 09:13 |
| poyntz | how can I detect the /dev/<file> or whatever in order to mount the Sandisk | 09:14 |
| themonitor | poyntz: dmesg | 09:14 |
| dRounse | ServerSage: ok when i installed ubuntu earlier it booted and then hung on a page with an orange "_" then the next time i booted it hung on a page with a white "_" | 09:14 |
| poyntz | themonitor: dmesg|grep Sandisk? | 09:14 |
| poyntz | themonitor: I tried dmesg and it dumped a ton of output and a few errors | 09:15 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Before or after GRUB? | 09:15 |
| dRounse | after | 09:15 |
| Hamed | what can i do after take alook to this file ? | 09:15 |
| themonitor | poyntz: right after you plug the device in run dmesg|tail should give you the last device. | 09:16 |
| urfr332g0 | poyntz, run sudo fdisk -l in the terminal | 09:16 |
| Dr_willis | the blkid command may also show what device the sandisk is | 09:16 |
| poyntz | themonitor: http://paste.ubuntu.com/845526/ | 09:16 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Have you tried to disable splash in grub to see if it's reporting anything? | 09:16 |
| poyntz | urfr332g0: I thought I mounted that already, I'll try again | 09:17 |
| dRounse | no, im going to try reintalling it on a different hdd that one always gives me trouble | 09:17 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: I should kick you in the shin. :) | 09:17 |
| poyntz | urfr332g0: that worked :). thanks | 09:18 |
| urfr332g0 | poyntz, cool | 09:18 |
| dRounse | well its late and i just want this server up and running ive been running into problem after problem with hardware and software | 09:18 |
| themonitor | poyntz: did it tell you sr0 | 09:18 |
| dRounse | ive been trying a little bit everyday for over a month | 09:18 |
| poyntz | themonitor: it told me sdb1, i then mounted it and it was the right one :D | 09:18 |
| Dr_willis | dRounse: dependign on the hardware bsd may have less support then linux does.. | 09:19 |
| poyntz | themonitor: thanks for offering a suggestion anyhow :) | 09:19 |
| themonitor | poyntz: I see. cool. | 09:19 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: I'm not sure BSD would be a good way to go then. | 09:19 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Dr_willis said it best. :) | 09:19 |
| Dr_willis | a cli only headless server.. wouldent need much int he way of hardware however. | 09:19 |
| dRounse | ServerSage: no ive completely changed all of the hardware from my original try | 09:19 |
| Dr_willis | so i have to wonder what issues you have been having. | 09:19 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: You shouldn't be hanging at an _ then. Do you have any USB devices plugged in that might be buggered? | 09:20 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: I have a USB wifi adapter that causes Ubuntu to hang like that. | 09:20 |
| Dr_willis | good amounts- o-ram and loads-o-hd space -> happy server. :) | 09:20 |
| poyntz | urfr332g0: how do you remember that fdisk stands for partion table list? | 09:20 |
| poyntz | urfr332g0: *partition | 09:21 |
| Dr_willis | poyntz: the fdisk command has been around for.. like generations. :) | 09:21 |
| outrage | Hi does anyone here run an ATI/AMD card on their Ubuntu??? | 09:21 |
| poyntz | lol | 09:21 |
| urfr332g0 | poyntz, practice, practice, practice. :) | 09:21 |
| crizzy | outrage: yes, hd6870 | 09:21 |
| poyntz | Dr_willis: but still, what's fdisk actually stand for? :P | 09:21 |
| Dr_willis | format disk - perhaps. | 09:21 |
| urfr332g0 | find disc? | 09:22 |
| boba88 | my second display is not detected, before hand i got set it using displays detect monitor | 09:22 |
| urfr332g0 | more likely format though | 09:22 |
| themonitor | poyntz: You become familiar with command names after a while. | 09:22 |
| poyntz | Dr_willis, urfr332g0: sorry to be naive but why not fpartition? :P | 09:22 |
| Dr_willis | poyntz: rember theres NO n in umount either. :) | 09:22 |
| dRounse | it was first the motherboard of one of the, well the processor, linux kernel 3 doesnt support p4 yet, but i didnt know tht until i had tried a gazzilion times, then the nic card on the next mobo i tried wasnt working so i had to buy a new one, but its an athlon ii which is more powerful than the celeron d i had as a desktop so i switched and now the server is on the celeron d mobo | 09:22 |
| outrage | crizzy, I have an issue with my graphics display. I have installed the latest ATI driver for my 6670 and my Ubuntu runs like XP without the drivers i.e. slow desktop performance etc | 09:22 |
| boba88 | anyone has an idea how to get my second monitor running | 09:22 |
| urfr332g0 | poyntz, don't know realy. | 09:22 |
| Dr_willis | poyntz: years ago you were limited in the legenth of file names. | 09:22 |
| poyntz | Dr_willis, urfr332g0 : ahh that makes sense :) | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | good old 8.3 days and befor - even more limits. | 09:23 |
| crizzy | outrage: so you have proprietary driver installed? | 09:23 |
| arkiver | Hello. i am using ubuntu 11.10 . recently while i try to update , update stops and i get the following message: | 09:23 |
| * Dr_willis will take computer history for $300 | 09:23 | |
| arkiver | http://pastebin.com/LtfmA8Qu | 09:23 |
| arkiver | bcz of this my update stops. what do i do ? | 09:23 |
| crizzy | outrage: and the 3D itself works, but compiz is slow/laggy? | 09:23 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Huh? Kernel v3 doesn't support a P4? | 09:23 |
| arkiver | can anyone help ? | 09:23 |
| poyntz | Dr_willis, urfr332g0 : you'll hate me for asking this, but how well does Mac OS X Snow Leapard run under Grub2? | 09:23 |
| urfr332g0 | poyntz, I would have to refer to the Dr though. | 09:23 |
| dRounse | ServerSage: correct | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | poyntz: no idea. i dont touch macs. | 09:24 |
| outrage | crizzy, at the moment its enabled. | 09:24 |
| urfr332g0 | poyntz, we can't really help with hackintosh | 09:24 |
| crizzy | outrage: have you tested with any 3D game that it works well? | 09:24 |
| crizzy | outrage: you use unity/compiz? | 09:24 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: I think you may be mistaken. P4 support has been in the kernel for a very, very long time. | 09:24 |
| Dr_willis | Mac Hardware needs some other bootloader i thought | 09:24 |
| poyntz | urfr332g0: that's alright, I figured it's a grub2 question, so possibly in your domain :P | 09:24 |
| outrage | crizzy, I dont think so. | 09:24 |
| urfr332g0 | poyntz, the web is your muse. :) | 09:24 |
| crizzy | outrage: so do you use unity or not? | 09:25 |
| outrage | crizzy, what is unity? a version of ubuntu? | 09:25 |
| tarelerulz | How different is 10.10 from 11.04 ? | 09:25 |
| dRounse | trust me i tried with every distro imaginable, then in the forums a guy said he had the same prob so i installed 10.10 and it worked like a charm, you can update to 11.10 but you cant do a live cd | 09:25 |
| crizzy | outrage: ui in ubuntu since 11.04 | 09:25 |
| poyntz | urfr332g0, Dr_willis : well thanks again. I'll check out google and see if it knows the answer :) | 09:25 |
| themonitor | arkiver: try running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade from the term. | 09:25 |
| poyntz | ciao people | 09:25 |
| urfr332g0 | tarelerulz, different desktop, 11.04 has unity. | 09:26 |
| crizzy | outrage: does your desktop look like in this pic: http://www.ubuntu.com/sites/www.ubuntu.com/files/active/02_ubuntu/U_homepage/frontpage-laptop_l1.jpg | 09:26 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: I'm looking right at it, P4 support in v3 of the kernel. | 09:26 |
| outrage | crizzy, no my desktop does not look like that | 09:26 |
| outrage | crizzy, I log in using the classic display | 09:26 |
| crizzy | outrage: ok, anyway, take a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/38028/performance-being-really-choppy-with-ati-drivers the top answer | 09:26 |
| urfr332g0 | tarelerulz, 10.10 is the last gnome 2 release. | 09:27 |
| crizzy | it's likely what you're experiencing anyway | 09:27 |
| crizzy | (crappy vsync settings in compiz) | 09:27 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Where is this forum post where somebody told you it is not supported? | 09:27 |
| dRounse | ServerSage it can support it but you cant use a live usb or cd with kernel v3 | 09:27 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Whoever told you that was blowing smoke up your back side. | 09:27 |
| === tnm is now known as kubanc | ||
| ServerSage | dRounse: While it may not work on your system, it has nothing to do with it being a P4. More likely, it has to do with your BIOS or CD/DVD drive. | 09:28 |
| dRounse | ServerSage well he helped me cuz he said to use a distro with kernel v2 and it worked, you can upgrade to kernel v3 | 09:28 |
| tarelerulz | Is there KDE Still or everything unity | 09:28 |
| Dr_willis | tarelerulz: KDE is still alive and well. | 09:28 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: I wanna see this forum post. :) | 09:28 |
| Dr_willis | as is Lxde, xfce, | 09:28 |
| themonitor | tarelerulz: kubuntu.com | 09:28 |
| urfr332g0 | tarelerulz, kde yes | 09:29 |
| outrage | crizzy, must I restart the computer for changes to take effect?? | 09:29 |
| crizzy | outrage: should work right the way i think | 09:29 |
| crizzy | outrage: at least relogin should be enough | 09:29 |
| tarelerulz | Officially everything is the unity ui ? | 09:30 |
| outrage | crizzy, its still remained the same. I had compiz installed before. I followed the top answer but my cpu usage goes above 70% when moving windows across my screen | 09:30 |
| dRounse | ServerSage sorry he didnt say it didnt support it, someone on here said it didnt and that it would be supported in 12.04 | 09:30 |
| urfr332g0 | tarelerulz, ubuntu is unity | 09:30 |
| dRounse | the forum said he had trouble like me and the only way to get v3 is to update | 09:30 |
| Dr_willis | tarelerulz: ubuntu uses unity. kubuntu uses kde.. lubuntuy uses lxde... | 09:30 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: Ubuntu 11.10 != kernel 3.0. While Ubuntu uses the 3.0 kernel, it has nothing to do with the kernel supporting it. If Ubuntu chooses to not compile in support that is one thing. | 09:31 |
| dRounse | tarelerulz: canonical has left kubuntu and its now a community distro, kde is still alive so is kubuntu | 09:31 |
| crizzy | outrage: further than that, i have no idea | 09:31 |
| === david is now known as Guest63779 | ||
| dRounse | why am i guest? | 09:32 |
| outrage | crizzy, I appreciate your help so far. | 09:32 |
| === ozior is now known as ozi|afk | ||
| dRounse | oh wait thats not menvm | 09:32 |
| outrage | crizzy, what drivers are you running for your 6870?? | 09:32 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: And I can honestly say I have NO idea if Ubuntu included P4 support or not, I can't see how - or why - they wouldn't have. I haven't seen or run a P4 in …. years. | 09:32 |
| tarelerulz | I put stuff on my NTFS partition where windows7 home perium lives and when I boot back into windows files get deleted. Is that fixed in the newer versions ? | 09:32 |
| crizzy | umm, default ones of ubuntu 11.10 | 09:32 |
| crizzy | at the moment | 09:33 |
| outrage | So you have the propriety drivers activated correct? | 09:33 |
| crizzy | yes | 09:33 |
| outrage | and ServerSage I am running a pentium 4 | 09:33 |
| crizzy | works fine | 09:33 |
| outrage | crizzy, ok | 09:33 |
| outrage | strange. | 09:33 |
| crizzy | playing Warsow daily | 09:33 |
| crizzy | :-) | 09:33 |
| urfr332g0 | tarelerulz, your best to have a shared ntfs partition | 09:33 |
| outrage | interesting. | 09:33 |
| outrage | what games can I download/test to see if my drivers are truly functioning properly | 09:34 |
| crizzy | i did test latest 12.1 catalyst too, no probs with that either | 09:34 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: See, outrage is even running a P4. :) Thus proving both that K v3 supports it, and that Ubuntu included support. | 09:34 |
| dRounse | gahhh ServerSage i know it supports it but for somereason it wont boot, and he never specified what kernel hes running | 09:35 |
| ServerSage | dRounse: So again, whomever told you that it did not support a P4 was blowing smoke up the rear side of your khakis. Like I said, if you can't boot a Live CD/DVD/USB then chances are your BIOS or DVD rom are the problem. | 09:35 |
| tarelerulz | A partition between windows and Ubuntu ? would I still not have the same problem? | 09:35 |
| outrage | I'm going to uninstall and reinstall drivers and see what happens. | 09:35 |
| urfr332g0 | tarelerulz, shouldn't, but to be honest yours makes no sense, without more details | 09:35 |
| greenit | hi, i have a problem: i am writing an email, but when i toggle the email-window to full-screen the text is not end in the line like it does before.... can i change this behavior anyhow or do i just have to press enter everytime i want the line to end? | 09:35 |
| ServerSage | greenit: Huh? | 09:36 |
| outrage | I'm running 11.04, crizzy would you recommend updating to 11.10 or not? | 09:36 |
| themonitor | greenit: When the window isn't full-screen the text just wraps to the next line so you can read it... | 09:37 |
| dRounse | is webmin safe on ubuntu | 09:37 |
| crizzy | outrage: 11.10 won't have classic desktop anymore :) | 09:37 |
| outrage | ah yeah that would be a problem | 09:37 |
| crizzy | outrage: i didn't have any probs with ati in 11.04 either, though | 09:37 |
| crizzy | outrage: but unity nowadays is just fine, give it a chance :) | 09:37 |
| crizzy | only thing that pissed me off was autohiding panel | 09:37 |
| tarelerulz | Do any of you dual boot? Do any of you run both windows 7 home perium and Ubuntu 10.10? | 09:38 |
| outrage | I can get unity running on 11.04 its not aproblem | 09:38 |
| crizzy | but that's easy to disable.. and hiding is gone altogether in 12.04 | 09:38 |
| crizzy | outrage: yeah but it was first unity versions.. it's considerably more annoying than 11.10/12.04 versions | 09:38 |
| outrage | my only problem is just ubuntu is like xp with a graphics card and no driver. | 09:38 |
| urfr332g0 | tarelerulz, I have 5 OS one is W7 the rest are 3 ubuntus and a fedora | 09:38 |
| themonitor | tarelerulz: I have and I've never had a problem like that. How did you set up your ntfs partition? | 09:38 |
| outrage | Is there a difference between propriety drivers and downloading the driver off AMD site crizzy ? | 09:39 |
| crizzy | well, amd site has newer ones | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | outrage, use the ones from the repos if they work. | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | newer ones may or may not work | 09:39 |
| crizzy | they work just fine | 09:39 |
| outrage | Dr_willis, repos?? | 09:39 |
| crizzy | not TOO hard to install either | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | !repo | 09:39 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | They MAY or May NOT work. | 09:39 |
| crizzy | they do work | 09:39 |
| urfr332g0 | tarelerulz, make sure you have ntfs-3g installed | 09:39 |
| greenit | themonitor, can i change this behavior, for example that the line does not get longer so that it fits on an a4-site? | 09:39 |
| tarelerulz | It is the same ntfs partition windows 7 runs on . I mount it with ntfs-3g in Ubuntu 10.10 . That is how I have it set up | 09:39 |
| Dr_willis | and installing them from the company site - i belive is not supported by this channel | 09:39 |
| outrage | I've installed the latest 12.1 drivers for ATI and they worked but I still had the same problem as now | 09:40 |
| crizzy | however i doubt it'll solve anything for you | 09:40 |
| themonitor | greenit: I don't think so. | 09:40 |
| Dr_willis | It all depends on the card and versions and other things. if the newer drivers work, or cause more problems. | 09:40 |
| ServerSage | greenit: Email doesn't really have the concept of "page size". | 09:40 |
| crizzy | i'm sure it's that vsync problem i linked earlier, though | 09:40 |
| Guest63779 | Hi, just got new laptop which has windows 7 on it. Trying to install ubuntu 11.10 alongside it. I run the wubi.exe, click "demo and full installation", select "reboot now" But when it reboots, it's as if nothing has changed and doesn't offer the opportunity to start with ubuntu. Any ideas anyone? | 09:40 |
| Dr_willis | The newer ati drivers worked for unity for me. but still have issues in gnome-shell. | 09:40 |
| greenit | ServerSage, well... when i want to print it, will it then fit the a4-site? | 09:40 |
| acekiller | ls | 09:41 |
| ServerSage | greenit: When you print it you can choose to have it "fit to page". | 09:41 |
| greenit | ServerSage, ah, k, thx :) | 09:41 |
| tarelerulz | NTFS for windows7 must be different . I have been downloading movies to the ntfs partition for years. Never had any problem. | 09:41 |
| themonitor | tarelerulz: so you mount it from the file browser everytime? | 09:41 |
| Dr_willis | Ntfs under windows 7 works fine for me under my ubuntu installs also. | 09:41 |
| Dr_willis | but i missed the actual problem. | 09:42 |
| tarelerulz | I use terminal ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /media/windows7 and it shows up on the desktop | 09:42 |
| urfr332g0 | Dr_willis, missing files loaded to windows. | 09:42 |
| Dr_willis | Watch out for Files with Differnt Case Names perhaps? ThisFile vs thisfile perhaps? | 09:43 |
| Dr_willis | ive never had any missing. :) | 09:43 |
| boba88 | why my ubuntu 11.10 does not recognize my second monitor? | 09:43 |
| Dr_willis | had a 'ThisFile' and 'thisfile' issue on samba shares befor. | 09:43 |
| Nirkus | hm, somehow my quickstart keys (windows key + number) for applications have vanished from unity bar since yesterday oO | 09:43 |
| tarelerulz | I save files to the ntfs partition . When I boot back into windows it deletes them. I have never had this problem before | 09:43 |
| urfr332g0 | tarelerulz, I just click mine in home left panel. | 09:43 |
| Dr_willis | boba88, whats your video card/gpu? | 09:43 |
| Hamed | could any one help me to put this command in boot sudo modprobe b43 | 09:43 |
| Dr_willis | Hamed, add it to /etc/rc.local or to your modules auto load/ list. perhaps. | 09:44 |
| themonitor | tarelerulz: try sudo? maybe you don't actually have permissions. | 09:44 |
| Dr_willis | I thought b43 was obsolete. | 09:44 |
| Dr_willis | !whitelist | 09:44 |
| tarelerulz | I forgot I do use sudo . | 09:44 |
| Dr_willis | !modules | 09:44 |
| ubottu | To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubottu blacklist | 09:44 |
| themonitor | tarelerulz: I would add it to fstab so you don't have to mount it everytime. | 09:44 |
| tarelerulz | Sure that would be easy ,but it would not change the problem. Windows deletes files when I boot back into it. I thought maybe I was mounting it with bad version of NTFS-3g . I thought maybe if I updated to 11. the problem would be fixed | 09:46 |
| ServerSage | Hamed: Did you find my suggestion confusing? If so, what part did you not understand? Maybe I can walk you through it. | 09:46 |
| Hamed | serversage | 09:46 |
| themonitor | tarelerulz: you should try it. it might fix the problem. you never know. | 09:46 |
| Dr_willis | tarelerulz, id check the ntfs-3g homepage/forums and see if anything shows up. also try unmounting the ntfs partion after making a test file. and see if it reappears. | 09:46 |
| Dr_willis | it could be windows is some how file system checking and removing a 'bad' file. | 09:47 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 8800 GT] (rev a2) | 09:47 |
| Hamed | sorry but i want to know is this file etc/modules that i must write the command in it ? | 09:47 |
| Dr_willis | boba88, i normally just install the nvidia drivers, reboot., run the nvidia-settings tool as root. enable twinview. restart the X server.. both monitors work. | 09:47 |
| ServerSage | Hamed: Did you open up the file? If you edit /etc/modules you will see some comments at the top that tell you modules in the file will be loaded on boot. You simply add your module to the list. | 09:47 |
| tarelerulz | I will do that. It sucks . I spent a lot of time downloading that stuff and it sucks to lose it. Plus , XBMC should update to fix their 1080 p play back problem. | 09:48 |
| themonitor | tarelerulz: you shouldn't download illegally... | 09:48 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: Failed to query NoScanout for screen 0. | 09:48 |
| Dr_willis | boba88, for what exactly? | 09:48 |
| Hamed | my moudule is modprobe b43 right ? or just b43 | 09:48 |
| Dr_willis | modprobe is a command to load a module.. | 09:49 |
| sidb | hey can someone tell me how can i use the packages from someone elses`s ubuntu`s /var/cche/apt/archives folder in my own ubuntu | 09:49 |
| ServerSage | Hamed: modprobe is the command that loads the module. b43 is the module. | 09:49 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: sudo nvidia-settings and then x server configuration page | 09:49 |
| Dr_willis | module name in your case is b43 | 09:49 |
| tarelerulz | It could be a blue ray of my own | 09:49 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: sudo nvidia-settings and then x server display configuration | 09:49 |
| Dr_willis | boba88, you installed the nvidia-drivers ? | 09:49 |
| tarelerulz | Other then that xbmc is great program. That is small bug. | 09:49 |
| boba88 | yes currently the post release drivers version 173 | 09:50 |
| Hamed | lp | 09:50 |
| Hamed | b43 | 09:50 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: yes currently the post release drivers version 173 | 09:50 |
| Hamed | this lines already in etc/modules | 09:50 |
| ServerSage | Hamed: Is it commented out? | 09:50 |
| Dr_willis | boba88, theres also example xorg.conf files online you could try. or the 'sudo nvidia-xconfig -a' command (i think) | 09:50 |
| themonitor | tarelerulz: hope you get everything working :) | 09:50 |
| ServerSage | Hamed: If it's not commented out you'll need to take a look in the logs. You can find them in /var/log/ | 09:50 |
| Hamed | yes out of comment | 09:50 |
| themonitor | well, night everyone. | 09:51 |
| Hamed | var/log which file ? | 09:51 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: ERROR: Unable to assign attribute DigitalVibrance specified on line 48 of configuration file '/home/student005/.nvidia-settings-rc' (no Display connection). when trying to run sudo nvidia-settings | 09:52 |
| ServerSage | Hamed: Take a look at /var/log/udev or /var/log/kern.log - if neither have anything run "grep b43 /var/log/*" | 09:53 |
| Dr_willis | you allready have a user .nvidia-settings-rc file it seems. perhaps remove/rename it. the root user shouldent be touching the user files.. | 09:53 |
| Dr_willis | boba88, both monitors were plugged in when you booted the system? this a desktop or laptop? | 09:54 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: yes were plugged, and desktop | 09:54 |
| Dr_willis | I used to have a 8800gtsxxx (i think) never had any of these issues.. but its been some time ago. | 09:55 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: now after renaming it and trying to run sudo nvidia settings i get (nvidia-settings:2764): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap" and there is no two screens detected | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | thats a gtk theme warning... | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | meaningless warning. :) | 09:56 |
| Dr_willis | How are the monitors hooked up? using any adaptors/converters? | 09:57 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: normal DVIs | 09:57 |
| Dr_willis | Out of ideas then. | 09:57 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: ok | 09:57 |
| boba88 | Dr_willis: thanks | 09:57 |

| terminhell | auronandace: isnt ubuntu based on debian? | 10:08 |

| pangolin | terminhell: a deb for debian may requires newer versions of libraries that could be available in the ubuntu repos but those libraries may not work well with other apps that require the ubuntu version of the lib. | 10:10 |

| terminhell | i forget how seemingly separated ubuntu has drifted from debian. In the past i remember being able to use debian repo's fairly problem free | 10:13 |
| Ben64 | Asifan: depends on the cpu, not sure if ubuntu still supports powerpc | 10:14 |
| Asifan | my CPU is intel | 10:14 |
| Ben64 | then it will work, its no different from any other computer | 10:14 |

| _Brun0_ | I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on command-line using the alternate cd. It is using a minimal window manager (i3) and I'd like to install a GTK theme. How do I know which GTK version I have in my Ubuntu? Should I install GTK2 or GTK3 themes? | 11:00 |
| terminhell | first install gtk... | 11:00 |
| _Brun0_ | terminhell, don't I have it already? | 11:01 |
| evildaemon | So I'm not sure if my problem is with wpa_supplicant or what. For reference I'm using Xubuntu 11.10 | 11:01 |
| _Brun0_ | terminhell, as I said I have a minimal window manager installed already. | 11:02 |
| onasis | anyone know of a good ubuntu webcam capture app? | 11:02 |
| terminhell | do you see a gtk2 or gtk3 folder in your /etc | 11:03 |
| _Brun0_ | terminhell, both | 11:06 |
| evildaemon | Also, it's NOT a driver problem. I've tried three different devices. (One of which I KNOW works under Ubuntu.) none work. | 11:06 |
| terminhell | then you'd want gtk3 stuff | 11:06 |
| terminhell | onasis: cheese | 11:07 |

| caaakeeey | how do i say "this hostname A maps to hostname B" and then let DNS worry about which ip hosthame B resolves to? | 11:33 |
| terminhell | bangawking: so your just trying to file share? | 11:33 |
| evildaemon | cureing: It runs Ubuntu in low graphics mode so that your graphics card isn't invoked. Then you can install a graphics driver. | 11:34 |
| bangawking | i want to see my php file on the browser by going to the localhost , , :) | 11:34 |
| terminhell | so you need apache and php | 11:34 |
| kp | test | 11:34 |
| bangawking | yes i got them all installed, , even the mysql | 11:35 |
| evildaemon | cureing: After you install the driver (If one exists) your machine should work fine. | 11:35 |
| nili | i recently started with bugfixing in ubuntu i got stuck in testing the bug ,how to find the release of the bug can u pls help me | 11:35 |
| bangawking | <nili> | 11:35 |
| terminhell | sometimes you may not be able to view it inside a local network domain | 11:35 |
| terminhell | unless its configured correctly | 11:36 |
| bangawking | so how do i do it? , , , | 11:36 |
| terminhell | i dont remember =/ | 11:36 |
| cureing | evildaemon:where to find driver...!!! because it does not detect additional drivers automatically...... | 11:36 |
| terminhell | but i hope ive shinned a little lite on the direction to look | 11:36 |
| bangawking | :) well thanks anyway | 11:36 |
| bangawking | yeah , , and i think i need to learn all these softwares from scratch | 11:37 |
| nili | how can i find release of the bug | 11:37 |
| terminhell | google my friend...google | 11:37 |
| evildaemon | cureing: Well if thats the case you have to google your graphics card. (The name of which can be obtained using lspci.) And pray. | 11:37 |
| bangawking | coz they work a little different from thos we use in windows | 11:37 |
| terminhell | bangawking: ya windows plays a bit nicer with itself... | 11:38 |
| cureing | evildaemon:it does not have graphics card... | 11:38 |
| terminhell | probably intel then? | 11:38 |

| iceroot | prezeus: no | 11:57 |
| iceroot | !nounity | prezeus | 11:57 |
| ubottu | prezeus: 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 | 11:57 |
| korukor | arnsa: I'd used UltraISO on windows for that. On Ubuntu, no joy. | 11:58 |
| prezeus | ubottu: I did the fallback but I can't personalize the panels I supose I have to install gnome-panels | 11:58 |
| ubottu | prezeus: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:58 |

| LjL | Younder: superseding the installed version of GCC is in all likelihood a Bad Idea(tm). if anything, they should install the new version either in a place not in $PATH or with a different name, to only call it when needed. | 13:07 |
| Younder | <danileigh79> well I use postgreSQL qhich I recommend above MySql | 13:08 |
| Younder | LjL, yes, but intsalling it will default tu /usr/local/bin leaving the default installation alone | 13:08 |
| Younder | LjL, If you get in trouble just remove the link in /usr/local/bin | 13:09 |
| LjL | Younder: it will, but it means whenever anything tries to call "gcc", the one in /usr/local will run, and that's not very good. Ubuntu packages of various versions of GCC installs binaries like "gcc-x.x" instead | 13:09 |
| Younder | LjL, true, and indeed just deleteing /usr/local/bin/gcc will leave the gcc with the newest version there so that is probalby what you whould do | 13:11 |

| Younder | LjL, run a which gcc. If only /usr/bin/gcc occurs your fine | 13:14 |
| ikonia | Lint: you don't uninstall a package without removing the files from the disk, that's the point of uninstalling a package | 13:15 |
| Younder | Lint, by it's nature you can never uninstall without affecting disk files.. make sense | 13:15 |
| LjL | Lint: there's simply no "proper" method. | 13:15 |
| Lint | ikonia, point of uninstalling package is that it was marked as 'uninstalled' in dpkg database | 13:16 |
| ikonia | Lint: correct, that means removing the package and files | 13:16 |
| LjL | Lint: seriously, don't start this again. you've been told a number of times it can't be done "properly". you are of course free to modify the status information manually or re-install the files manually, but that's against all recommendations from here. | 13:16 |

| jpds | danileigh79: You're going to have a fun time managing system consistency. | 13:22 |
| llutz | danileigh79: you can install rpm but it won't do what you expect. it won't replace dpkg and the package-database, so you cannot use simply rpm after this. | 13:23 |
| Younder | <danileigh79> no ubuntu and debian use a different package manager from redhat. Mixing the is a very bad idea as the don't agree on where to install things | 13:23 |
| ikonia | Younder: it's nothing to do with not agreeing where to install things | 13:23 |
| danileigh79 | k, thx all | 13:23 |
| danileigh79 | If a program is only available in rpm format, is there a way to dl it, then convert it to be used in dpkg? | 13:24 |
| LjL | danileigh79: "alien", but it may not always work. | 13:24 |
| Younder | Ikonia: would you elaborate? That sound just plain wrong to me. | 13:24 |
| ikonia | danileigh79: not really no, as the contents are normally designed for rpm based systems (eg: redhat) | 13:24 |
| ikonia | Younder: then you don't understand how the package managment systems work. | 13:24 |
| LjL | Younder, ikonia: well, a part of it *is* about agreeing where to install things. but there's more pressing parts, like agreeing on package names (for dependencies), and not stomping on each other's feet | 13:25 |
| Younder | Ikonia: I take it I's the version bit which is the problem? | 13:25 |
| gr81 | MonkeyDust: thank you so much! the problem was that I am using Gnash atm. I clicked on "inspect element" in firefox and copied the url | 13:25 |
| gr81 | works now | 13:25 |
| ikonia | Younder: part of it, but also the internal dependency database, and the content of the packages | 13:25 |

| 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 | 14:10 |

| vimpulse | athul__: checked a sed tutorial already? :) | 15:15 |
| martian | UndergrounD: having a bunch of unused libraries installed doesn't affect boot time. Those libs are only loaded by applications that request them. | 15:15 |
| athul__ | yes | 15:15 |
| vimpulse | athul__: which one? | 15:15 |
| UndergrounD | ok so most likely its some settings i have messed up | 15:15 |
| vimpulse | athul__: also, what did you try, and what happened? | 15:15 |
| athul__ | catonmat.net | 15:15 |
| athul__ | what i'm trying to do is extract all the string between two strings and then print them out on separate line | 15:16 |
| UndergrounD | i can reinstall but im not going to learn a whole lot from doing that | 15:16 |
| vimpulse | athul__: I'm looking at http://www.catonmat.net/ (the homepage) but I don't see any sed tutorial. :( | 15:17 |
| absence | theadmin: it installs 32-bit version of the libs on my 64-bit system. now i just need to figure out how to use them for compiling :P | 15:17 |
| athul__ | http://www.catonmat.net/blog/sed-stream-editor-cheat-sheet/ | 15:17 |
| martian | UndergrounD: if I had to guess, I would look for daemons that are trying to make network connections or something | 15:17 |
| calamity | okay conky is currently looking good, except there's a biiig gap between some of the elements. How would I remove any extra lines? | 15:17 |
| Younder | athul__, You need the 64 bit version | 15:17 |
| athul__ | what ? :| | 15:18 |
| UndergrounD | ok tks ill chk | 15:18 |
| vimpulse | athul__: cheat sheets are nice. See also http://www.refcards.com/ . But you're new to sed, so you need a tutorial instead. :) | 15:18 |
| Younder | athul__, 32 bit works under 64 bit but it's slow | 15:18 |
| auronandace | UndergrounD: maybe using the mini.iso will be interesting for you | 15:18 |
| vimpulse | Younder: how much slower? :) | 15:19 |
| === snake_ is now known as [snake] | ||
| Younder | athul__, like 32 bit flash is your only option, but you don't wanna rely on 32 bit libraries | 15:19 |
| Younder | vimpulse, roughly 30-50% | 15:19 |
| vimpulse | athul__: "<Younder> athul__, You need the 64 bit version" was meant for theadmin. | 15:20 |
| athul__ | I need to get this done ASAP. I tried: sed -n 's|<title>\(.*\)</title>|\n\1|p'. But it dosen't work | 15:20 |
| iceroot | athul__: #bash #sed | 15:20 |
| vimpulse | athul__: ah -- you now told us what you tried, and what happened. Thank you. That's the first real step. | 15:20 |
| OY1R | q: im trying to install ubuntu on a small laptop from a USB drive but it hangs once the usb loads (i only see the "live cd" menu | 15:21 |
| vimpulse | athul__: iceroot is right. You may get help faster in #sed. | 15:21 |
| [snake] | I installed my system in french, but now my software center cannot choose to be in english(I swap between the two). How can I get Software center to switch to english in ubuntu 10.10 x86_64? | 15:21 |
| calamity | nevermind, got it | 15:21 |
| UndergrounD | sweet tks auro... going to give that a try | 15:21 |
| Ghrim | Hey, if I choose encrypted home when installing, what happens if I choose to install another distro later and want to keep my home? | 15:21 |
| vimpulse | [snake]: try this in a terminal: LANG= software-center | 15:22 |
| vimpulse | [snake]: the "LANG= " makes sure the environment variable "LANG" is not set to French. | 15:22 |
| iceroot | Ghrim: its not a good idea to have one /home for different distributions | 15:22 |
| vimpulse | Ghrim: dunno. If you reinstall, back up your home directory to an unencrypted USB stick. Why switch between distros? | 15:22 |
| vimpulse | Younder: thank you. 30-50% slower to compile what sorts of things? | 15:23 |
| Ghrim | oh... i thought that was the point of having home on a separate partition? | 15:23 |
| Ghrim | and because I'm new to linux and i'm not sure what I want from a distro yet | 15:24 |
| [snake] | vimpulse, I got no output, should I type in english or something :D | 15:24 |
| vimpulse | Ghrim: what *do* you want from a distro? :) | 15:24 |
| vimpulse | [snake]: try this instead, and please tell us what happens: software-center | 15:24 |
| jpds | Ghrim: Just mount the encrypted partition from the other distro? | 15:24 |
| UndergrounD | it seems to be a tcl problem all this started after messing with an eggdrop | 15:25 |
| Ghrim | how does the encryption work? Do i need some kind of password for it? | 15:25 |
| jpds | Ghrim: Well, actually, that depends on which crypto method you use. | 15:25 |
| sweb | any command line tools for convert ttf to otf ? | 15:25 |
| Ghrim | I'm talking about the option in the normal installer | 15:25 |
| vimpulse | sweb: dunno. Why do you want to convert ttf to otf? | 15:25 |
| [snake] | vimpulse, the descritpions are still in french... perhaps I left that detail out accidentally: it's only the descriptions for packages before I hit more info that are in french. | 15:25 |
| Ghrim | whatever that one does | 15:26 |
| sweb | vimpulse: using font-face in web pages | 15:26 |
| vimpulse | [snake]: apt-cache definitely holds English descriptions. LANG= apt-cache show banshee | 15:26 |
| popey | Ghrim: if you choose the encryption option in the ubuntu installer you'll get an 'ecryptfs' encrypted home, not all distros use/support this method of encryption | 15:26 |
| vimpulse | [snake]: does that solve your problem? | 15:26 |
| Masterlorn | ok | 15:27 |
| Masterlorn | now I can start ubuntu | 15:27 |
| Masterlorn | but I cant use my mouse | 15:27 |
| Masterlorn | its there | 15:27 |
| vimpulse | sweb: dunno. Try again here, if you don't get help after too long, tell #web that you want to use font-face in web pages, then ask them what else you can try. Maybe there's some font converter online or something. They can tell you what to try. | 15:27 |
| Masterlorn | and I can activate windows over the taskbar | 15:27 |
| Masterlorn | but on the actual workspace I cant do anything | 15:27 |
| vimpulse | Masterlorn: you could enable Mouse Keys then use those all day :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_keys | 15:28 |
| Ghrim | hmm I guess I'll just back up my home folder when i switch distro | 15:28 |
| vimpulse | Masterlorn: just kidding. Mouse Keys are really frustrating. | 15:28 |
| vimpulse | Ghrim: good idea. | 15:28 |
| Masterlorn | _D | 15:28 |
| UndergrounD | hmmmmmmm seems to be the sharing of tcl to eggdrop now to remove tcl and eggdrop am i better to use autoremove or --purge-remove | 15:28 |
| Masterlorn | :D | 15:28 |
| iceroot | UndergrounD: they are totally different | 15:29 |
| Masterlorn | has anybody a solution to solve that problem? | 15:30 |
| [snake] | Masterlorn, please explain your problem in one convenient message with all the necessary information in the future. | 15:31 |
| skamster | hello all, i've a little question about xorg.. i've yet both installed on my system, binary nvidia-drivers and nouveau.. i like to change to nouveau to use randr the right way.. since i've removed xorg.conf, randr works but don't detect the hdmi-output, so not the second screen | 15:31 |
| skamster | my xorg.0.log: /msg NickServ identify | 15:32 |
| vimpulse | skamster: what command did you use to install binary nvidia drivers? Hint: history | less -i | 15:32 |
| UndergrounD | i want to completly remove both tcl and eggdrop and then ill reinstall im still a noob here but learning fast. autoremove then? | 15:32 |
| skamster | what's confusing: it loads first nvidia, the nouveau.. then it detects both displays, couldn't set a mode for one and fail about that (it tells, it loads the deprecated nv) | 15:33 |
| Masterlorn | Ok I cant use my Mouse properly. It is there and I can move it but I cant click anything except from the Apps in the Toolbar on the left. I use Win7 64 bit and I have Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit installed | 15:33 |
| vimpulse | skamster: 2. also, why do you not want to use the regular nv driver? :) | 15:33 |
| [snake] | well vimpulse, it's not working... It's simply outputting information about the application that I type such as "banshee" | 15:33 |
| vimpulse | [snake]: that's what it should do. :) | 15:34 |
| skamster | vimpulse, because of default-settings and a new graphic-card | 15:34 |
| skamster | ;) | 15:34 |
| vimpulse | Masterlorn: does it work fine in Windows? Note: I am not claiming your problem. :) | 15:34 |
| Masterlorn | never had any problems on windows :d | 15:34 |
| Masterlorn | :D | 15:34 |
| vimpulse | [snake]: you wanted to see English descriptions, right? Preferably in software-center, correct? | 15:34 |
| === root_ is now known as WhiteEye | ||
| iceroot | UndergrounD: sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename | 15:34 |
| iceroot | UndergrounD: autoremove is something different | 15:35 |
| [snake] | vimpulse, ah, i see now, thanks! | 15:35 |
| UndergrounD | ok thanks | 15:35 |
| vimpulse | [snake]: you're welcome :) | 15:35 |
| Masterlorn | but my keyboard works fine btw | 15:35 |
| quiescens | purge does not do what a lot of people think it does | 15:35 |
| vimpulse | iceroot: why use --purge ? | 15:35 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: to remove conffiles | 15:35 |
| skamster | no idea why it don't detect hdmi? | 15:35 |
| vimpulse | iceroot: why? The user may have edited their conffiles. :) | 15:35 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: "conffile" has a different meaning for dpkg | 15:36 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: apt-get will NEVER remove configuration fils from /home/username/ | 15:36 |
| vimpulse | iceroot: for me, /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf is a conffile that I've edited. | 15:36 |
| Asifan | hello | 15:36 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: yes | 15:36 |
| vimpulse | Asifan: hi :) | 15:36 |
| === aceps is now known as how-change-keyri | ||
| tom95 | hi, I installed libsocialweb for using its dbus, but it doesnt show up in d-feet. Restarting didnt help either, do I have to run explicitly or something? | 15:36 |
| theadmin | vimpulse: apt-get remove won't touch that, apt-get purge will though | 15:36 |
| vimpulse | iceroot: why would i ever want to remove it? :) | 15:36 |
| Asifan | please some one help me with UBUNTU unstallation | 15:36 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: he said "how to remove foobar completly" | 15:36 |
| Asifan | installation | 15:36 |
| === how-change-keyri is now known as how2changekeyrin | ||
| vimpulse | iceroot: why did he want to remove it completely? :) | 15:37 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: ask him | 15:37 |
| vimpulse | Asifan: hi. What is your first language? | 15:37 |
| litropy | I'm having a problem with possibly the video driver for my dvi out itself. When I'm in OS X, the picture is smooth. In Ubuntu on the same machine, it's choppy. Is there a better chan for this? | 15:37 |
| Asifan | english/arabic both are fine | 15:37 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: e.g. you want to remove them if you never need the package again, if you messed up with the configuration file | 15:37 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: and as i said already "conffile" has a special meaning for dpkg | 15:38 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: e.g. /etc/init.d/apache2 is a conffile but you will never edit the file like /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | 15:38 |
| alexeilevitsky | hi guys | 15:38 |
| alexeilevitsky | I have a problem | 15:38 |
| tensorpudding | !ask | 15:39 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 15:39 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: so understand what a conffile is maybe have a look at "divert" in the manpage from dpkg | 15:39 |
| alexeilevitsky | My Windows installation is in the same sda as another partition, what happens if i delete the ubuntu partition? | 15:39 |
| Bobenhaus | damn software update is taking forever wtf??!? | 15:39 |
| iceroot | vimpulse: also /etc/cron.d/awstats is a conffile and you will normally never edit that file | 15:39 |
| Bobenhaus | !wtf | 15:40 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 15:40 |

| stephans_ | Is there a way in ubuntu to set witch display will be the main display if oyu have a laptop and a external monitor? | 15:41 |
| vimpulse | UndergrounD: Did you want to remove even the conffiles? You usually shouldn't need to do that. And if you edited them, --purge will permanently delete your changes. | 15:41 |
| alexeilevitsky | the sda is ntfs tough | 15:41 |
| alexeilevitsky | :\ | 15:41 |
| theadmin | stephans_: lxrandr does that, there might be some way to do so with the default setting tools as well | 15:41 |
| ryann | wow, ubuntu desktop installation doesn't recognize software raid? | 15:41 |
| alexeilevitsky | It's really fuckedup | 15:41 |
| iceroot | ryann: the alternate cd does | 15:41 |
| theadmin | ryann: Yeah, only the alternate install CD deals with raid installs, still have no idea why | 15:41 |
| ryann | thanks iceroot. | 15:41 |
| ryann | yea annoying | 15:41 |
| stephans_ | theadmin: ok | 15:42 |
| ryann | seems all that would be needed is to load the kernel module | 15:42 |
| iceroot | theadmin: no space on the normal cd for that, also it will confuse users | 15:42 |
| Masterlorn | i cant use my mouse properly on ubuntu 11.10 64bit can anyone help me? | 15:42 |
| ryann | i already have the raid configured | 15:42 |
| vimpulse | !wtf | 15:42 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 15:42 |
| vimpulse | alexeilevitsky: :) there are sometimes even preteens in here. | 15:42 |
| martian | alexeilevitsky: the sda is not ntfs. SDA means Sata Drive A. A drive doesn't have a format; only a partition does. | 15:42 |
| alexeilevitsky | vimpulse wtf? | 15:42 |
| eSoul | does anyone know something I can cat (something in /proc possibly?) that gives the motherboard model? | 15:42 |
| vimpulse | alexeilevitsky: go ahead... ask :) | 15:42 |
| UndergrounD | i copied my conf file so i can replace after reinstall | 15:43 |
| iceroot | UndergrounD: and what is the point of reinstall then? | 15:43 |
| alexeilevitsky | martian, what i mean is that it's multi boot in the same /dev/sda4.. can anything go wrong? | 15:43 |
| alexeilevitsky | if i delete ubuntu? | 15:43 |
| vimpulse | UndergrounD: if you leave out "--purge" it won't delete the conffile in the first place. | 15:43 |
| alexeilevitsky | It's fucked up man | 15:43 |
| iceroot | UndergrounD: linux is not windows and reinstall is normally useless | 15:43 |
| Asifan | ok, so, i am tryong to install ubuntu, but is doesn't work. I am using an Intel MacbookPro. Live CD stopped working in Ubuntu 11.10, installation on a live USB, the USB does not get recognised by the EFI system, so I tried instaling it using EFI boot program, but the screen goes black and nothing happens. i tried instaling ubuntu on the HHD itself on its own, but when i restart the computer i get no file found. i kid you not to tell | 15:43 |
| iceroot | alexeilevitsky: stop with that language | 15:43 |
| vimpulse | alexeilevitsky: if you do not watch your language you will be forcibly removed from channel. | 15:43 |
| martian | alexeilevitsky: I'm fairly sure that you should be able to delete it, but I certainly couldn't tell you it's risk free | 15:43 |
| iceroot | alexeilevitsky: we told you already | 15:43 |
| alexeilevitsky | ok | 15:43 |
| theadmin | eSoul: This isn't exactly cat'ing, but dmidecode can help you (gives hardware information as specified by BIOS) | 15:43 |
| vimpulse | eSoul: lshw also might help. or SiSoft Sandra(tm). Why do you want your mobo model? | 15:44 |
| alexeilevitsky | still, you think "pre-teens" in here won't talk like so in real life? | 15:44 |
| UndergrounD | i think the prob is lying in tcl it seems | 15:44 |
| eSoul | Thanks, theadmin, just needed something to get some info out, and vimpulse, just so i dont have to open the case to find it out, hah | 15:44 |
| theadmin | eSoul: "sudo dmidecode --baseboard-product-name" will give it to you :) | 15:44 |
| UndergrounD | so im looking at it first | 15:44 |
| alexeilevitsky | also, since when do preteens use computer for more than games-for-windows? | 15:45 |
| theadmin | err | 15:45 |
| iceroot | !ot | alexeilevitsky | 15:45 |
| ubottu | alexeilevitsky: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:45 |
| theadmin | eSoul: Pardon, got it wrong: "sudo dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name" | 15:45 |
| how2changekeyrin | <theadmin> thanks | 15:45 |
| alexeilevitsky | thanks bob | 15:45 |
| eSoul | ahh, thank you for the correction. | 15:45 |
| UndergrounD | believe me i am so determined to learn i will inevitably mess things up but thats the learning curv | 15:45 |
| vimpulse | eSoul: now i'm curious. what's the real root cause of you wanting to know your mobo model? :) | 15:46 |
| eSoul | vimpulse: lol, mostly so I can check its hackintosh compatibilty -- I have only one intel/sandy bridge pc | 15:47 |
| vimpulse | eSoul: :) | 15:47 |
| eSoul | I knew all that stuff was encoded in the bios/chips on the board, just wanted to read it out | 15:48 |
| UndergrounD | and for the little editing that i have done on my eggdrop conf if i loos it no big deal writing the bot is the easy part | 15:48 |
| eSoul | and its a mini-itx and I dont even know if I could read the markings on it if I opened it up with stuff in its way | 15:48 |
| vimpulse | Asifan: was "i kid you not to tell" the end of your question? Every question should end with a question mark, and yours didn't. :) | 15:48 |
| davidvip | hi there, i have usb connected mobile 3G connection that would like to be shared to others over local LAN via router, what should i do? | 15:49 |

| eSoul | its outside the scope of this channel | 15:50 |
| Ghrim | Is there a way to make the menus not show until they are completely loaded? It annoys me that the text shows first, and then the icons. | 15:50 |

| davidvip | ubottu, thanks | 15:51 |

| Ghrim | just a bit annoying as windows doesnt have this 'problem' and im pretty sure mac doesnt either | 15:53 |
| eSoul | well, Asifan, I hate to say it, but it should just work. maybe if you had a specific issue with a system right now it can be debugged, but I cant give you an all encompassing soultion for all problems since no solution exists | 15:53 |
| Asifan | i tried it o 5 different computers. pc and apple | 15:54 |

| alexeilevitsky | roger_ you could try copying it to .themes? lol | 15:57 |
| OerHeks | roger_, if it is a valid theme, drag & drop the tar.bz to appearance | 15:57 |
| roger_ | ive tried dont work | 15:57 |
| Asifan | eSoul: yes it tell me kernel problem | 15:57 |
| meskarune | roger_: un tar the file and look inside. there should be a read-me telling you want to do :) | 15:58 |
| eSoul | all systems give you "kernel problem" or just one machine | 15:58 |
| theadmin | !who | eSoul | 15:59 |
| ubottu | eSoul: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 15:59 |
| hex` | I need to recompile python, but where is located the sources folder? There's nothing on /usr/local/src and only two linux-headers folder on it, but no python source code... | 15:59 |
| Pici | hex`: You'd need to download the python source to do that. | 15:59 |
| theadmin | hex`: If you want to get source-code for a specific package, do: cd WhereDoYouWantToStoreTheSource && apt-get source PACKAGENAME | 15:59 |
| eSoul | ahh, sorry, theadmin, forgot to put my reciever nick in my message | 15:59 |
| alexeilevitsky | roger_ you must use gnome not unity. | 15:59 |
| Asifan | eSoul: all machiens will only boot live cd. not USB not HDD. this computer will boot nothing. what puzzels me is that in ubuntu 10 it work fine! everything worked fine. what happened now? | 15:59 |
| theadmin | hex`: So in your case: mkdir pythoncode ; cd pythoncode ; apt-get source python | 16:00 |
| hex` | Pici I thought, after I compiled it, the source code was saved somewhere in the disk | 16:00 |
| Pici | hex`: After you compiled it? | 16:00 |
| hex` | theadmin: ok... thanks | 16:00 |
| alexeilevitsky | Asifan: wrong. i boot from live hdd. | 16:00 |
| theadmin | hex`: Ah, you are using a self-compiled Python version? | 16:00 |
| eSoul | Asifan, I still dont know what kind of machine this particular one you are speaking of now is | 16:00 |
| theadmin | hex`: Then just grab the code from python.org again | 16:00 |
| roger_ | what is the program i should use to open it | 16:00 |
| Asifan | eSoul: intel Macbook Pro | 16:01 |
| alexeilevitsky | roger_ archive manager? | 16:01 |
| alexeilevitsky | roger_ you must use gnome not unity. | 16:01 |
| hex` | Pici: yes... I downloaded the source code, compiled it, deleted the source code... but now I need to recompile, so I thought the source code was saved somewhere in the disk... but as you said, I need to download it again | 16:01 |
| hex` | theadmin: thank you a lot :) | 16:01 |
| alexeilevitsky | roger_ it will not work on unity! | 16:01 |
| Pici | hex`: if you've deleted it then it is gone. | 16:01 |
| theadmin | hex`: No, sorry, sources don't magically get saved somewhere, it'd be just weird to do :D | 16:01 |
| alexeilevitsky | theadmin no? :( | 16:01 |
| theadmin | alexeilevitsky: ? | 16:02 |
| eSoul | Asifan: did you hold down or press C during bootup to boot from disc? | 16:02 |
| hex` | theadmin: yeah, I have no idea why I thought that... I think I confused source code with object files | 16:02 |
| absence | how can i prevent apt-get from marking packages as manually installed when specifying already installed packages in order to resolve a dependency conflict? | 16:02 |
| hex` | Pici: thank you very much! | 16:02 |
| Asifan | eSoul: yes | 16:02 |
| eSoul | Asifan: does it see the cd as bootable. at least try to spin it up and do something? | 16:02 |
| BreezeKeeper | hi .. i want to install and test ubuntu .. do i need any drivers ? and where can i get them ? system is hp dv7 pavillion | 16:03 |
| alexeilevitsky | BreezeKeeper, no you don't | 16:03 |
| Asifan | eSoul: yes, i see the cd, it starts to boot then i get no boot mediu, press any key to continue, but when i press any key nothing happens | 16:03 |
| eSoul | BreezeKeeper -- using the live cd will tell you if you need anythign special to use your hardware, but most works out of the box, and you dont even have to "install" to use ubuntu | 16:04 |
| eSoul | Asifan: Is your disc reader in the macbook good? | 16:04 |
| BreezeKeeper | okay .. i will try to install from usb | 16:04 |
| alexeilevitsky | BreezeKeeper: Ubuntu live cd + UnetBootin + usb + Try without installing = happiness. | 16:05 |
| Asifan | eSoul: no i am use the cd of anther macbook through firewire, this same setup worked before in ubuntu 10. not it doesn't | 16:05 |
| roger_ | how do i change from unity to gome | 16:05 |
| alexeilevitsky | apt-get gnome3 ? o.o | 16:05 |
| malakian | hey chaps | 16:06 |
| malakian | i just installed ubuntu on an athlon 64 laptop | 16:06 |
| alexeilevitsky | !gnome > roger_ | 16:06 |
| malakian | and it's hanging at startup | 16:06 |
| ubottu | roger_, please see my private message | 16:06 |
| malakian | not getting any error messages... | 16:06 |
| eSoul | It may be a problem with new kernels/bootloaders then, try to use a local drive, even usb connected, but dont try to use a exported drive installed in another machine | 16:06 |
| BreezeKeeper | live cd is just the iso which i download, or ? | 16:06 |
| theadmin | roger_: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-fallback # And then choose one of those in the sessions menu | 16:06 |
| eSoul | BreezeKeeper -- the Desktop disc is a live disc | 16:06 |
| alexeilevitsky | BreezeKeeper, if you wish, you could let unetbootin do the job for you :p | 16:06 |
| eSoul | the server disc is install only | 16:07 |
| Asifan | eSoul: when i prepare a live usb i cannot see it to boot from it | 16:07 |
| BreezeKeeper | @alex .. like it says on ubuntu.com im using universal usb installer .. is this right ? | 16:07 |
| eSoul | Asifan: I mean a USB cd/dvd rom | 16:07 |
| alexeilevitsky | Asifan !check boot order. | 16:07 |
| Asifan | alexeilevitsky: no boot order in macs, i can choose what to boot from the boot menue | 16:08 |
| kpas_ | theadmin, would you also need this app if you do not want to use unity - gnome-shell gnome-session-common | 16:08 |
| alexeilevitsky | oh macs.. lol | 16:08 |
| eSoul | :-p | 16:08 |
| alexeilevitsky | ask applecare. | 16:08 |
| theadmin | kpas_: gnome-session depends on gnome-shell afair | 16:08 |
| theadmin | kpas_: Err, vice versa | 16:09 |
| Asifan | eSoul: i looked at this problem for a long time. i even tried something else, just an hour ago. through firewire, i conect this computer's HDD to another mac which can load up the live CD. and used it to install ubuntu on this computer. when i restarted it, it woun't boot the HDD | 16:09 |
| kpas_ | theadmin, okay then only gnome-shell gnome-fallback is required correct? | 16:09 |
| theadmin | kpas_: Think so | 16:09 |
| Cassiopeia_ | good day, im having some issues with installing "expect", or apt-get anything really... i get this http://pastebin.com/VGWdibUt anyone have the same problem? im running Backtrack KDE, 64-bit on a persistent encrypted USB stick | 16:09 |
| bazhang | !backtrack | Cassiopeia_ | 16:09 |
| ubottu | Cassiopeia_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 16:09 |
| eSoul | Asifan -- in that instance, the bootloader may not be getting installed in a way that makes that drive "transportable" | 16:10 |
| bazhang | Cassiopeia_, /join #backtrack-linux | 16:10 |
| alexeilevitsky | can you install ubuntu on a ARM ? | 16:10 |
| theadmin | alexeilevitsky: ARM support is very limited, but yes | 16:10 |
| theadmin | !arm | alexeilevitsky | 16:10 |
| ubottu | alexeilevitsky: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 16:10 |
| Asifan | eSoul: so what sould i do? no matter how many times i repeat it i get the same thing | 16:10 |
| roger_ | y is it not recommended to change the theme to a mac theme | 16:10 |
| toxiccity90 | Hey there I'm having a connection problem with my RTL8191SEvB wireless card it seems that the speed drops from 54 to 1 MB almost every minute or so making it hard to download things. Any ideas how to fix?? I running ubuntu 10.10. | 16:10 |
| Cassiopeia_ | i know, but since i thought apt-get works in the same style, i couldask here? | 16:10 |
| eSoul | Asifan: You really want to try to boot the system you are going to do the install on | 16:10 |
| malakian | Noone have any ideas on what to do if ubuntu just hangs after install? anyone? | 16:10 |
| eSoul | Asifan: try using a USB attached cd/dvdrom | 16:10 |
| bazhang | Cassiopeia_, no, go to the bt channel, please | 16:10 |
| theadmin | Cassiopeia_: No, sorry, this channel only supports Ubuntu and official derivs | 16:10 |
| eSoul | and boot from it | 16:11 |
| Asifan | i did, it didn't work | 16:11 |
| Asifan | i get no bootable medium | 16:11 |
| Asifan | what puzzels me is that ubuntu 10 worked fine | 16:11 |
| bazhang | roger_, the macbuntu theme? no it's not supported, it's poorly done and causes problems | 16:11 |
| eSoul | then googling sounds like my next step, sounds like your disc isnt buring right or your system isnt reading the disc correctly | 16:11 |
| Asifan | i did googling, the ame cd works on other computers fine | 16:12 |
| eSoul | Asifan -- then use ubuntu 10 and "do-release-upgrade" | 16:12 |
| eSoul | and pray :-p | 16:12 |
| malakian | ok then....anyone know where I can find some tips, besides googling, on why ubuntu might be hanging on startup after installing? | 16:12 |
| Asifan | where can i find it, tell me how to find it as i am not using an OS to copy or use links | 16:13 |

| urfr332g0 | Hairpuller, see medical help id needed this is ubuntu support./ | 16:16 |
| urfr332g0 | if] | 16:16 |
| toxiccity90 | malakian: did you try changing how it boots? like holding down shift and booting to an older kernel? | 16:16 |
| eSoul | Asifan: I can not, I have real life chorses to take care of before it gets much later | 16:16 |
| malakian | at what point should i hold down shift toxiccity90? | 16:16 |
| Asifan | eSoul: i understand | 16:16 |
| Hairpuller | Its just taken me 1hr of reboots to get my wifi to work but if I suspend I lose it again can I change the drivers or something | 16:16 |
| toxiccity90 | malakian: when you reboot hold down shift and a screen should come up with other kernels choose a previous kernel from that. | 16:17 |
| malakian | ok, one sec | 16:17 |
| urfr332g0 | Hairpuller, lspci will identify the setup post the wifi card if you want help | 16:17 |
| malakian | I *think* it said something about firmware missing at the end of the install | 16:17 |
| malakian | but i have no idea how to identify what | 16:18 |
| Hairpuller | thanks is that a different chat place | 16:18 |
| urfr332g0 | malakian, do you know the graphic card? | 16:18 |
| malakian | it's on board graphics | 16:18 |
| urfr332g0 | malakian, and what is it lspci will tell uyou | 16:18 |
| danileigh79 | malakian: You may need to do a clean install... recommend getting ubuntu 11.10 from ubuntu.com and making a USB installer | 16:18 |
| eSoul | LightHash, are you using ubuntu/linux to access the drive right now? you can unmount it and maybe dd the drive contents into a file on a filesystem with enough free space (the total size of the drive) | 16:18 |
| urfr332g0 | danileigh79, it is a cleaninstall. | 16:19 |
| Hairpuller | silly me you type it in terminal sorry | 16:19 |
| jiffe98 | where in the boot process do nfs mounts get mounted? I have a program who's config is over an nfs mount and it seems to be trying to start before the nfs mount is mounted | 16:19 |
| eSoul | but im not a truecrypt user and im not privy to the way it works | 16:19 |
| urfr332g0 | Hairpuller, yes. :) | 16:19 |
| malakian | danileigh79, i just did that | 16:19 |
| danileigh79 | urfr332g0: I understand, but at times I've had to do *another* clean install to fix my issue | 16:19 |
| malakian | urfr332g0 - sorry? What's lspci? | 16:19 |
| klync | malakian: like `ls` for your pci bus | 16:20 |
| danileigh79 | malakian: I understand, but at times I've had to do *another* clean install to fix my issue | 16:20 |
| malakian | I have done that several times now danileigh79 | 16:20 |
| malakian | it's not that | 16:20 |
| urfr332g0 | danileigh79, right and generally we investigate a little before advising that it may just be the need for a driver (graphic) | 16:20 |
| danileigh79 | malakian: sorry for coming into this late, so I may not have seen everything, are you able to boot into ubuntu at all | 16:21 |
| toxiccity90 | having issue with rtl8191SEvB card in ubuntu 10.10 with linux kernel 2.6.35-23 generic-pae. Card drops speed from 54 to 1 and doesn't run at correct download rates. | 16:21 |
| urfr332g0 | malakian, lspci in the terminal will identify hardware. | 16:21 |
| urfr332g0 | use the live cd if needed | 16:22 |
| malakian | oddly i just got into ubuntu by holding shift and then picking recovery mode | 16:22 |
| malakian | then it stopped and i picked 'resume normal boot' | 16:22 |
| urfr332g0 | malakian, cool, update and check additional drivers | 16:22 |
| toxiccity90 | malakian: thats the kernel menu i was talking about | 16:22 |
| malakian | still got some rrors that flashed past too quick for me to see | 16:22 |
| malakian | ok i'll try that now urfr332g0 - what am i looking for? | 16:23 |
| Ub | Hi | 16:23 |
| toxiccity90 | malakian: additional drivers like for graphics card and other things | 16:23 |
| prower | hello everyone :> i have the nouveau driver blocked in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common but it appears that it's still being probed on boot (and failing, since i'm using the official nvidia drivers)...how would i stop it from being probed/attempting to load entirely? | 16:23 |
| urfr332g0 | malakian, a update with update manager then look at the app additional drivers to see if any are there. | 16:23 |
| LightHash | but dd it will get it fixed? the disk is a 320gb and it was like this. 8gb linux swap , 42gb linux / , 270gb ntfs (first layer) , then within that 250gb ntfs (hidden) . and after that happened the drive wont boot to linux. grub is damaged | 16:23 |

| Hairpuller | Cheers Ive just installed pinguy thats whats giving me the griefe | 16:33 |
| eSoul | systemclient -- at first glace I dont see why it wouldnt work, but im checking. it isnt listed in "mount" or "df" is it | 16:33 |
| systemclient | eSoul: what do you mean? I did not get into my system at, all, I work on a live CD right now | 16:34 |
| eSoul | systemclient -- so with this alteration, you cant boot into the os at all? | 16:35 |
| eSoul | do you have a folder in / named tmp? it may be that the mount point doesnt exist | 16:35 |
| systemclient | eSoul: it stops on a solid blue screen (kubuntu, before plymouth) and tells me something like "cannot open file" | 16:35 |
| systemclient | eSoul: I have drwxrwxrwt tmp in my home dir | 16:36 |
| systemclient | is the t bit the problem maybe? | 16:36 |
| systemclient | s/home dir/root/ | 16:36 |
| eSoul | systemclient: strange -- can you mount the system's / partition then, and see if there is a /tmp that exists there? | 16:37 |
| systemclient | eSoul: that is what I just did, and there is a /tmp | 16:37 |
| eSoul | systemclient: you need to at least have an empty folder in / named tmp for fstab to mount that partition there | 16:37 |
| eSoul | hmm, strange indeed | 16:37 |
| systemclient | eSoul: and I emtied it | 16:37 |

| malakian | so guys i got into ubuntu using the hold shift, selecting recovery mode method | 16:38 |
| malakian | but im just updating it now via the auto update - is this likely to plug missing firmware? | 16:38 |
| malakian | if not how do i find out what is missing and making it fail to start? | 16:39 |
| systemclient | eSoul: hmm, I created the partition with the KDE partition manager, and I can mount it into /media/HP-tmp on the live system | 16:39 |
| systemclient | eSoul: and I just mounted /dev/sda3 into /media/SSD/tmp | 16:40 |
| eSoul | systemclient: Im afraid I cant tell you much more unless you have a way to figure out what file is missing or that its complaining about | 16:40 |

| malakian | as i'm not having much luck here | 16:41 |
| eSoul | systemclient: Im afraid I dont know what they all are or which ones are from last boot or whatever. I use dmesg way too much when I debug a problem that I dont know the log files very well | 16:41 |

| systemclient | eSoul: dmegs gives me a lot of stuff and at the very end some EXT4-fs stuff | 16:42 |
| systemclient | eSoul: apparently it mounted all the drives … | 16:42 |
| LightHash | imagine buying an alienware m14x and got fried in one month then u get it back (with some feautres not working) and you stick your external disk to finally work and your windows crashes while you are working and your drive gets messed up and you cannot get your files back!! | 16:43 |
| kos23 | i try to install linux and one partition only shrink it without mounting why? | 16:43 |
| systemclient | kos23: what do you mean? | 16:43 |
| eSoul | systemclient -- dmesg is your current system kernel messages from when you just turned the machine on, its new on every bootup. its just telling you that it mounted those partitions when you mounted them | 16:43 |
| systemclient | that explains the timestamps, that was me on the live CD … | 16:44 |
| systemclient | eSoul: okay, any idea where I can find the logs for the other system? | 16:44 |
| eSoul | systemclient -- the only thing I can see is your options part | 16:44 |
| eSoul | systemclient: sw? | 16:44 |
| eSoul | oh, nvnm ,swap | 16:44 |
| systemclient | eSoul: that part worked before, I just inserted that /tmp line | 16:44 |
| kos23 | i tried to install linux and suggested partitionng windows all partition make set mount apart from sda7 who make shring it.....it is necessary to make and sda7 set mount of /dev/sda7 to /windows/F | 16:45 |

| palin1441 | hi | 18:17 |
| quentusrex | zykotick9, I'm looking to find info on which desktop enviroments are supported on 12.04 | 18:17 |
| zykotick9 | quentusrex: that would be an #ubuntu+1 question (but i don't think there is any change from current, it's whatever is available in the repo) | 18:18 |
| theadmin | quentusrex: Gnome3, XFCE, LXDE and KDE are the officially supported ones for all more-or-less current Ubuntu releases, including Precise | 18:18 |
| EvilResistance | quentusrex, "desktop environments" as in the different flavors of ubuntu? Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu. XFCE, LXDE (maybe something else), KDE, GNOME | 18:18 |
| quentusrex | I'm preparing to upgrade a large fleet of desktop workstations, and after upgrading a few to 11.10 I was very disappointed with the removal of gnome2 in exchange for unity when the upgrade NEVER prompted to remain on gnome2. | 18:18 |
| kpas_ | !classic | 18:18 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 18:18 |
| EvilResistance | !notunity | quentusrex | 18:18 |
| ubottu | quentusrex: 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 | 18:18 |

| brimlar | Mech0z: you could set the user on the targetted Ubuntu machine to automatically log in, if you accept the security risk http://www.lucidtips.com/2008/06/29/enable-remote-desktop-and-auto-login-on-ubuntu/ | 18:38 |
| recon69_lap | theadmin, the update was specifically created to fix the bug | 18:39 |
| brimlar | Mech0z: otherwise it's 1) use XDMCP, or 2) try some third party software like TeamViewer (others may know more options) | 18:39 |
| theadmin | recon69_lap: Ah. Could you make sure the repo gets used, i.e. listed when you run "apt-get update"? | 18:39 |

| adminewb | OerHeks: I was using releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.4, but it appears to be the same ftp folder; look closer, you'll notice there are no jidgo's or templates for desktop | 18:53 |
| bc81 | ellipsis_: tremulous is my favorite fps (though i think there is a channel dedicated to games or off-topic discussion..you might get a better answer there) | 18:54 |
| recon69_lap | theadmin: the computer i use for ripping cd's is my multi media one, connected to my tv, currently i'm watching the big bang theory which just finish. one min and i'll check | 18:54 |
| mikeliss | daftykins: that's probably likely. | 18:54 |
| OerHeks | adminewb, ?? http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.4-alternate-i386.jigdo | 18:54 |
| adminewb | OerHeks yes, alternate and server have them, as I pointed out | 18:54 |
| mikeliss | daftykins: of course, I don't think I've ever filled it completely all at once. But having it be near full, then emptied would have the same problem, right? | 18:55 |
| daftykins | mikeliss: are you not running a new enough kernel for TRIM to be on? | 18:55 |
| Mech0z | I have a ZFS partition on a raid card, but writing sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb dont show it | 18:55 |
| OY1R | did something fundamental happen to ubuntu after version 9.04 i get some message about cmov when trying to install 10.10 | 18:55 |
| OerHeks | uh oh, you are right, adminewb | 18:55 |
| daftykins | Mech0z: what about just "sudo fdisk -l" ? | 18:56 |
| OY1R | kernel support cmove or something like that | 18:56 |
| adminewb | OerHeks, so someone turning the publishing crank overlooked something then... | 18:56 |
| Mech0z | daftykins 2sec, rebooting, but can it be a driver issue (it works fine under opensolaris which is unix though) | 18:56 |
| Iznougoud | Evening all. I'm about to install some sort of antivirus on Ubuntu server, and as far as I understand there are three of four flavours to choose from. I'd like some input as to what to go with.. | 18:56 |
| mikeliss | daftykins: Nope. It's a server. | 18:58 |
| zykotick9 | Iznougoud: is this a mail server? Why are you installing antivirus (on an OS that doesn't have a virus problem)? For details "/msg ubottu virus" | 18:58 |
| adminewb | it's only been a couple days since the build came out, maybe they'll fix it if the proper person can be notified | 18:58 |
| OerHeks | adminewb, can't find the readon either :( | 18:58 |
| patrunjel | If i have, for example, a text file ~/whatever/text1 and I want to move it to ~/example/ , but I also want to change it's name to, text2, for example, on the same command, how can I do it? (i went through cp's and mv's --help, but I only found the -b option for mv, but it didn't make the backup, it just moved it) | 18:58 |
| adminewb | oh noes! | 18:58 |
| Xanthippus | Heeey | 18:58 |
| Nach0z | Iznougoud: if by "flavors" you mean the window manager, I'd suggest installing the normal Ubuntu w/ Unity first, and then install the window manager of your preference afterwards | 18:58 |
| Xanthippus | How do i customize the Empathy emoticons? | 18:58 |
| zykotick9 | patrunjel: "mv ~/whatever/text1 ~/example/NEWNAME" | 18:58 |
| recon69_lap | theadmin: pastebin.com/9U4WYtpd | 18:58 |
| Iznougoud | It will be a mail server eventually. But for now it's among other things sporting an FTP, which handles media files and Windows apps. | 18:58 |
| klync | patrunjel: mv ~/whatever/text1 /otherdir/newname | 18:59 |
| patrunjel | i want to copy it * I'm sorry. I want to leave the text1 file, and copy it somewhere, but instantly changing the destination file's name | 18:59 |
| adminewb | OerHeks any idea how to reach someone who could do something? | 18:59 |
| patrunjel | going with my example, text1 would still be there | 18:59 |
| theadmin | recon69_lap: y u no post urls as urls :/ | 18:59 |
| Elladan | So what are people actually using for a window manager setup these days? I tried Gnome 3, which was fantastically better than that horrible Unity thing, but using a pre-alpha graphics demo as a GUI didn't really suit me. | 18:59 |
| Iznougoud | By flavors I mean ClamAV, Avast and so on.. | 18:59 |
| Elladan | Is KDE4 any good? I'm using XFCE right now, but it's kind of annoying. | 18:59 |
| Xanthippus | patrunjel: Couldn't you just cp your file in the same place, then mv the copy to wherever you want? | 18:59 |
| recon69_lap | theadmin: cause i got two computers and i typing from one to the other | 19:00 |
| Xanthippus | Elladan: ikr I wanna feedback on KDE. | 19:00 |
| bc81 | fidel: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/freecycle also, you may have already seen smasher: http://smasher.sourceforge.net/ | 19:00 |
| cortman | Elladan, pre-alpha? Gnome 3.2's been out for a whil enow | 19:00 |
| recon69_lap | theadmin: i try hard next time :-D | 19:00 |
| theadmin | recon69_lap: Anyway, um, it seems the PPA version is installed... Therefore, I think the only thing you could do is contact the PPA mantainer and ask whether (s)he's uploaded the right package lol | 19:00 |
| SmartTowel | I have Ubunut 11.10. On the Sony Viao, the suspend doesn't work how it should. When I unsuspend, all the programs are closed. Any suggestions? | 19:01 |
| patrunjel | Xanthippus, yes, but I wanted it to be more elegant :D I could always just make an alias (i need to do this quite frequently), but I thought there is an option for mv or cp that would let me do it | 19:01 |
| Elladan | cortman: It's buggy to the point of unusability and lacks all functional config settings. Looks like a pre-alpha desktop to me. | 19:01 |
| Xanthippus | patrunjel: Not that I know of... | 19:01 |
| theadmin | recon69_lap: I don't think I can personally help any further, sorry. el psy congroo | 19:01 |
| Xanthippus | So... does anyone know how to customize the Empathy emotes? | 19:01 |
| recon69_lap | theadmin: ok, well thanks, got some good cd's today and it's a annoying glitch not being able to rip the second cd | 19:01 |
| cortman | Elladan, that's odd. Works like a champ for me. You can config with gnome-tweak | 19:01 |
| JeroenDeDauw | I want to create a startup usb on a 10gb partition of a big usb device. Any pointers to how to do this? | 19:02 |
| Xanthippus | I replaced all of the emotes in /usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/emotes | 19:02 |
| Xanthippus | :S | 19:02 |
| Elladan | cortman: I pretty much gave up when it turned out the new version of gnome-terminal couldn't even render irssi without graphics glitches. | 19:02 |
| theadmin | JeroenDeDauw: Sadly not gonna work, in order to properly create a startup usb you need to wipe the whole drive :( | 19:02 |
| cortman | That IS one of the weaknesses of Gnome shell currently, though- no intuitive theme, etc. editor | 19:02 |
| cfhowlett | JeroenDeDauw startup disk creator ... | 19:02 |
| cortman | Elladan, sounds like graphics card issues? | 19:02 |
| theadmin | JeroenDeDauw: However, you can do something like dumping the ISO inside of the drive and installing grub2 on the drive and having grub2 boot the ISO %) | 19:03 |
| JeroenDeDauw | cfhowlett: don't want to use the full drive (has stuff I do not want to erase) | 19:03 |
| Elladan | cortman: Nope. | 19:03 |
| auto_ptr | I installed nvidia drivers, now my computer hangs while booting, no error messages of anything, I just see list of services in the tty7 | 19:03 |
| JeroenDeDauw | theadmin: any docs on that? | 19:03 |
| Xanthippus | I wanna replace the default icons with this set:http://dlanham.com/ui/riceballs/ | 19:03 |
| theadmin | JeroenDeDauw: None I can remember right away, sorry. | 19:04 |
| cortman | Elladan, if you're so sure... | 19:04 |
| Xanthippus | Pidgin only styled my icons, not the other person's icons... | 19:04 |
| Xanthippus | Are there any other directories I need to transfer the .png to? | 19:04 |
| theadmin | Xanthippus: Pidgin has some option of... "display formatting in incoming messages", disabling that might help. | 19:05 |
| zykotick9 | Xanthippus: people aren't going to see your custom icons, they'd see there own. | 19:05 |
| Xanthippus | I know zykotick9 | 19:05 |
| Xanthippus | idc | 19:05 |
| Xanthippus | theadmin: What exactly does that do? | 19:05 |
| JeroenDeDauw | theadmin: cool, thanks | 19:06 |
| ellipsis_ | bc81, Thanks, and I didn't notice. | 19:06 |
| theadmin | Xanthippus: Basically, display the message as your buddy sent it, not as Pidgin'd normally interpret it | 19:06 |
| bc81 | Xanthippus: /usr/share/empathy/icons/* | 19:06 |
| Xanthippus | bc81: Tried there already, lemme check again. | 19:07 |
| Xanthippus | hmmm no emotes there, just the social network icons... | 19:07 |
| Elladan | So has anyone tried a tiling window manager? I hear they're good, but it wasn't obvious to me which ones people liked. | 19:07 |

| skypce | i need that * follow to the full path that begin with jre | 19:08 |
| Pici | skypce: why not use tab complete to complete the path when you type it in. | 19:09 |
| skypce | the next part of name jre* is variable | 19:09 |
| theadmin | skypce: /opt/java/32/jre<TAB><BACKSPACE>/bin/java | 19:09 |
| Elladan | theadmin: Thanks! | 19:09 |
| skypce | it will be work in a script? | 19:09 |
| skypce | i will try thank you both | 19:10 |
| theadmin | skypce: I think the * will actually work | 19:10 |

| Pici | skypce: if you are trying to do that within a script, you'll need to use something else to discover that path, perhaps find. | 19:11 |
| theadmin | skypce: Meh! for i in /opt/java/jre* ; do sudo update-alternatives install install $i/bin/java ; done | 19:11 |

| LostPW | auto_ptr ok you should try this...reinstall ubuntu and use bumblebee : http://www.bumblebee-project.org/ so i have solved this with my dell xps17. if a question left you can ask me | 19:19 |
| LostPW | if you want to use a programm with your nvidia card you use the console command optirun $programm | 19:19 |
| auto_ptr | Hmm, this is not my computer, I am helping my friend. I already see bumblee in /etc/modprobe.d | 19:19 |
| auto_ptr | should I remove nvidia drivers? | 19:20 |
| mohammadtiti | guys??????????? anybody help me with that freaking problem | 19:20 |
| LostPW | you should install bumblbee with the nvidia drivers from the packets | 19:21 |

| Mech0z | I have downloaded http://zfsonlinux.org/zfs-building-deb.html but I cant find the dir so I can do ./configre and make deb | 19:22 |
| mohammadtiti | i'm not familiar with searching in them but i did searched google | 19:22 |
| bc81 | Xanthippus: does this help you? http://nilvec.com/android-emoticons-on-ubuntu-with-empathy/ | 19:22 |
| auto_ptr | LostPW: do you know exact package name to download? I should use command line :) | 19:22 |
| LostPW | auto_ptr use the posted webpage there you can find the answer ^^ | 19:23 |
| Xanthippus | bc81: Thanks for the link, but when I go to that directory, the folder "icons" doesn't exist! | 19:23 |
| Xanthippus | Should I create it? | 19:23 |
| bc81 | yes, most likely | 19:23 |
| bc81 | Xanthippus: obviously, you'll have to restart empathy for them to take (if it in fact works) | 19:24 |
| Xanthippus | OK I'm crossing my fingers! :D | 19:24 |
| Xanthippus | Wait | 19:24 |
| Xanthippus | Can the icons be any name? | 19:25 |

| Mech0z | zykotick9 I tried follwoing http://zfsonlinux.org/zfs-building-deb.html | 19:30 |
| Xanthippus | Should I just log out, then back in? | 19:30 |

| mohammadtiti | i tried wubi but it didn't work...it gave me some errors. so i decided to do it in dual boot method (i prefer dual boot method myself) | 19:45 |
| loganrun | why do some programs give menues at the top of the screen and some give menus at the top of the window, this is really annoying | 19:45 |

| ubottu | bustedz: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 19:48 |

| zykotick9 | !text | beachbum_Bob | 19:49 |
| ubottu | beachbum_Bob: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 19:49 |
| cfhowlett | mohammadtiti corrupted .iso's can cause ubuntu to misbehave during live boot and/or mess up your installation. Takes a few seconds to verify the integrity of your source software. I strongly urge to you to follow the procedures in the url I sent to verify your installation media | 19:49 |
| loganrun | yeah gui is overrated | 19:49 |
| bustedz | i've done that, got the restricted packages/css installed but i think my problem is earlier; i literally can't see the filesystem or tell how to automount it | 19:49 |
| zykotick9 | bustedz: you don't mount DVDs, you play them | 19:49 |
| bustedz | and don't really want to faff around with fstab unneccessarily | 19:49 |
| beachbum_Bob | thanks ubottu | 19:49 |
| loganrun | depends if the dvd is a data dvd or movie dvd | 19:50 |
| mohammadtiti | ok thanks....as soon as i completed checking i let you now | 19:50 |
| Xanthippus | Yep | 19:50 |
| loganrun | but they must be mounted to play | 19:50 |
| cfhowlett | bustedz dual booting? Does your dvd player work in the other OS? | 19:50 |
| loganrun | the os shoudl support the filesystem natively | 19:50 |

| loganrun | root is not a command | 19:52 |
| bustedz | http://paste.ubuntu.com/846295/ | 19:52 |
| flash_ | How can I fix this? | 19:52 |

| flash_ | It is running in vmware, with vmware tools installed if it helps. | 19:53 |
| loganrun | root is the name of a user | 19:53 |
| cfhowlett | RenatoSilva I only boot LTS so I'm not totally familiar with 11.+. Sorry. | 19:53 |
| RenatoSilva | ok | 19:53 |
| loganrun | CharminTheMoose, you need to set a root password | 19:53 |
| CharminTheMoose | loganrun, but su stands for switch user. In this I wanted to do 'switch user root' | 19:53 |
| CharminTheMoose | loganrun, and I have set a root password | 19:53 |
| bustedz | i don't even see anything in syslog when inserting the disc though | 19:53 |
| bustedz | if someone could find my dvd player's remote control, that'd solve my problem too i guess. :) | 19:54 |
| wakec | hiho | 19:54 |
| cfhowlett | bustedz did you address my dual boot question? I ask because dvd/cdrom can fail silently. Just replaced my drive after it stopped reading after 2 years - no warning. | 19:55 |

| mohammadtiti | <cfhowlett> the procedure shown in the link you sent didn't work on my laptop | 19:55 |
| CharminTheMoose | Slightly related question, how can I get gksu to work properly with synaptic? gksu -u root is probably not the Ubuntu Way? | 19:55 |
| theadmin | CharminTheMoose: gksudo synaptic | 19:55 |
| cfhowlett | mohammadtiti "didn't work" means what exactly? | 19:55 |
| bustedz | cfhowlett: not dual booting, no. | 19:55 |
| korukor | flash_: did that really work? it should be 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' | 19:56 |
| mohammadtiti | i restarted my laptop in the boot option, there is this option saying: check disc for defects | 19:56 |
| beasty | zykotick9: ok i have booted now | 19:56 |
| wakec | Is Fedora good for laptop? | 19:56 |
| cfhowlett | mohammadtiti not the same thing ... | 19:56 |

| beasty | zykotick9: but now for some reason i only see like 2 cm of my X on top | 19:56 |
| bustedz | hmm. i'm gonna go find a blank disc actually, see whether that magically works | 19:56 |
| flash_ | Heh, it might have been that. I'm relatively new to ubuntu. | 19:56 |
| flash_ | The problem is though, that I have no GUI now. | 19:57 |
| Xanthippus | wakec: I had fedora on my netbook and it was good! | 19:57 |

| cfhowlett | REDHAT - someone asked about getting ready for the RHCE - see this: http://trouble-maker.sourceforge.net/ | 19:58 |
| loganrun | CharminTheMoose, that is all that is required. do sudo -, then passwd root and set you password, then you can su with the password you just defined | 19:58 |
| mohammadtiti | typing in terminal the following commands: md5sum ubuntu-11.10-dvd-i386.iso | 19:58 |
| wakec | Xanthippus: better than ubuntu? | 19:58 |
| mohammadtiti | i did but it didn't work. | 19:58 |
| mohammadtiti | what should i do? | 19:58 |

| CharminTheMoose | Oh cool cheers theadmin | 19:59 |
| cfhowlett | mohammadtiti pretty much means you have a corrupted Ubuntu there. Use the windows md5sum check instead to verify, but you likely need to download the iso again. Check sum the downloaded ISO and the burned CD. Methods are in the link I sent you. | 19:59 |
| loganrun | CharminTheMoose, ps. don't do that since it is a bad idea | 19:59 |

| lahwran | how do I get the mail icon in the panel to go away? | 20:00 |

| lahwran | it's annoying and I don't have space on the panel for it, but it doesn't have a "remove" button | 20:00 |
| mohammadtiti | how can i check it by my windows? | 20:00 |
| stephans_ | Ok answered my own question with google... to reverse scrolling direction do this:http://maketecheasier.com/reverse-mouse-scrolling-direction-in-ubuntu/2011/09/16 | 20:00 |
| bc81 | lahwran: sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages (then log out, or restart whatever your panel is) | 20:01 |
| cfhowlett | mohammadtiti please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM_on_Windows | 20:01 |
| bustedz | cfhowlett: will do, cheers. if the drive has failed after 6 months and effectively zero use i'mo cry though | 20:01 |

| grendal-prime | can i query my kernel for something | 20:04 |
| grendal-prime | tproxy to be exact | 20:04 |
| GriGi | Hi, I got little problem and have no idea how to fix it. I got Ubuntu 11.10, when I turn on my EEEPC 1000H, I don't have sound until i plugin and plugout something into minijack | 20:04 |
| Guest81066 | hi all | 20:05 |
| cfhowlett | Guest81066 greetings | 20:05 |
| GriGi | anybody know how to fix it? Earphones and everything on minijack works good, but I have to plugin/plugout and then sound from my netbook work. Sry for my bad english. | 20:05 |
| loganrun | grendal-prime, what do you want the kernel to tell you | 20:06 |
| cypher-neo | I have a question. Will uninstalling gnome-session mess anything up? I don't want to use fallback mode anymore, and I'm having issues with nautilus so i was planning on uninstalling both of those. Will this break Unity or GNOME Shell? | 20:06 |
| grendal-prime | if the kernel is compiled with tproxy support | 20:06 |
| loganrun | GriGi, sounds strange, did you take a look at the volume control panel when you are doing that? | 20:07 |
| Xanthippus | c ya guys | 20:07 |
| loganrun | GriGi, sounds like a channel is getting muted or something, not sure if ubuntu would do anything like that automatically. i assume you dont' have a short in the earphones | 20:08 |
| loganrun | grendal-prime, ahh, sounds like it is a plugin, maybe you can try and apt-get and install the package or something | 20:09 |
| cypher-neo | I have a question. Will uninstalling gnome-session mess anything up? I don't want to use fallback mode anymore, and I'm having issues with nautilus so i was planning on uninstalling both of those. Will this break Unity or GNOME Shell? | 20:09 |
| === gci is now known as ganimede | ||
| loganrun | cypher-neo, do you have unity installed? | 20:10 |
| cypher-neo | loganrun, I do, but I don't use it. I use GNOME Shell for everything. | 20:10 |
| GriGi | loganrun: I don't know if you understand what i wrote. Earphones works well, just when I turn on my netbook I can't hear the sound from buildin speakers, even if my volume is full | 20:10 |
| GriGi | i always have to plugin something to minijack, and then plugout | 20:10 |
| GriGi | then buildin speakers works good | 20:10 |
| cfhowlett | GriGi Low sound or NO sound.... | 20:10 |
| GriGi | No sound | 20:11 |
| GriGi | completely no sound, even if volume bar is full | 20:11 |
| === sdx24 is now known as sdx23 | ||
| bc81 | GriGi: a longshot, but do you have any audio settings in your BIOS | 20:11 |
| GriGi | i can control volume but it gives me nothing | 20:11 |
| cypher-neo | GriGi, Sounds like the speakers are defaulting to the jack even when it's unplugged. | 20:11 |
| GriGi | bc81: I don't know, I didn't check that, i have netbook, Asus EEEPC 1000H | 20:11 |
| theadmin | GriGi: I think you need to set a sane output channel in your mixer. If it's a laptop, set it to "PCM" | 20:11 |
| loganrun | GriGi, I see, wonder if there is a problem with the jack, but most probably there is something messed up with the mixer settings, did you right click on the speaker and open the volume settings and check everything out when you can't hear any sound? also, you can install a better mixer with more control over the hardware settings | 20:12 |
| brkolog | I'm getting error messages at boot from this laptop from USB: ext2_lookup: deleted inode referenced: 634 | 20:12 |
| jsec | GriGi: terminal, run "alsamixer" | 20:12 |
| cypher-neo | loganrun, Will uninstalling nautilus or gnome-session (which seems to want to uninstall when I try deleting nautilus) hurt my computer? | 20:12 |
| OY1R | http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/82063234/ | 20:12 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: nautilus is the filemanager in Ubuntu, the default one. You'll lose certain things (the filemanager, duh, and the desktop icons), but other than that it's safe | 20:12 |
| OY1R | shh wrong chan | 20:12 |
| GriGi | jsec: Okay, i got alsamixer on, what should i check now? | 20:12 |
| bc81 | GriGi: if any of that advice fails, you might try updating your BIOS (this is only noob advice, take it or leave it ;) | 20:13 |
| jsec | GriGi: scroll to the right until you see 'Auto-Mute' and let me know if it's enabled or disabled | 20:13 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, Okay, well... let me describe the original problem. Maybe you can help me with it. | 20:13 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: mk | 20:13 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, This morning there was an update to nautilus, I think. | 20:13 |
| Malo | anyone espert with eeepc asus? | 20:13 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: Can't be sure of that lol, don't really have any Ubuntu setup near me | 20:14 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, Now whenever a nautilus window opens, a nautilus bar appears at the top of the screen and doesn't go away. | 20:14 |
| arnsa | guyz how can I add directory on terminal? | 20:14 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: A bar? | 20:14 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, I have to killall nautilus to make the bar disappear. | 20:14 |
| theadmin | arnsa: "add" as in create? | 20:14 |
| arnsa | theadmin, I need to add this: ppa:artfwo/ppa | 20:14 |
| zykotick9 | arnsa: "mkdir foo" | 20:14 |
| theadmin | arnsa: That's a ppa, not a directory | 20:14 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, It looks something like the titlebar that appears in Unity when you open a window. | 20:14 |
| bc81 | !anyone | Malo | 20:15 |
| ubottu | Malo: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 20:15 |
| theadmin | arnsa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:artfwo/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 20:15 |
| arnsa | theadmin, oh sorry, I'm kinda new to all this stuff | 20:15 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, But not being in Unity, it should not appear. | 20:15 |
| arnsa | ty | 20:15 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, Wait a sec... I have a screenshot you can see. | 20:15 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: Sounds like nautilus is calling globalmenu | 20:15 |
| GriGi | jsec: I got Master, [...], Mic Boost, Beep. And then I can't scroll to right. "Beep" is the last position. | 20:15 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: Hm... It might or might not do that. Try using pcmanfm, see if it does that too | 20:15 |
| jsec | GriGi: what version of ubuntu are you on? | 20:15 |
| GriGi | 11.10 | 20:15 |
| GriGi | I think i didn't have that bug in 10.10 | 20:15 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, pcmanfm? Terminal command? | 20:16 |
| MrKeuner | hello, created a source.list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, yet synaptic does not see that repository, what am I missing? | 20:16 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: pcmanfm is a filemanager, install it via apt-get and run it, see if it works for you :) | 20:16 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: Random suggestion, any other would do too (thunar, dolphin, ...) | 20:16 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, It's sad, cause I like Nautilus. Is there any way to uninstall globalmenu? | 20:17 |
| jsec | GriGi: ok, alsamixer again and then hit F6 | 20:17 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: Not so sure, might need to uninstall all of unity | 20:17 |
| zykotick9 | MrKeuner: 1) it's sourceS.list 2) does that actually belong in sources.list.d? | 20:17 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: If you like Nautilus, hm, you can try Thunar then -- it feels like a clone of Nautilus (although somewhat more senseful) | 20:17 |
| MrKeuner | zykotick9, it is a puppetmasterrepository.list file | 20:17 |
| GriGi | jsec: I got "(default)" and "HDA Intel", and "enter device name..." | 20:18 |
| sanjeev90an | how can i join parts of a movie in ubuntu? | 20:18 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, I'm trying something else in addition to that. | 20:18 |

| jsec | GriGi: select HDA Intel | 20:18 |
| mohammadtiti | dear <cfhowlett> as you guessed the md5sum mismatched. now i have one more question: what is the difference between ubuntu dvd version with its cd versions? | 20:19 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, I looked up globalmenu in my repository... I realized the package I saw that got an update... | 20:19 |
| === gci is now known as ganimede | ||
| cypher-neo | theadmin, was firefox-globalmenu and thunderbird-globalmenu | 20:19 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, I'm uninstalling those. ;) | 20:19 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: Those don't have anything to do with it (they provide integration for ff/tb for Unity's top bar thingo) | 20:19 |
| GriGi | jsec: Okay, you thing that could help? | 20:20 |
| cfhowlett | mohammadtiti the dvd contains ALL of the languages - not something you'd need on a daily basis... | 20:20 |
| GriGi | jsec: I got HDA Intel, and still can't see any "Auto-Mute" | 20:20 |
| MrKeuner | zykotick9, never mind me. my problem was working with multiple hosts at the same time :) | 20:20 |
| mohammadtiti | ok thank you very much for you time | 20:20 |
| cfhowlett | mohammadtiti have fun/be safe | 20:21 |

| Phillsen | Hi Guys, spricht einer von euch deutsch? | 20:21 |

| cypher-neo | theadmin, Thanks for your help. Once you helped me figure out what nautilus was calling I found this page http://askubuntu.com/questions/65705/how-to-remove-global-menu-from-gnome-shell | 20:22 |
| cypher-neo | theadmin, I think I'll try what's there too. | 20:23 |
| GriGi | jsec: Yeah, it works. But I have to restart netbook to check. Because I don't got sound until i plugin and plugout something to minijack, then build in speakers works. Im gonna leave, and check that. Thanks for advices. | 20:23 |
| theadmin | cypher-neo: That should work yeah (removing the appmenu packages seems like a sensible solution) | 20:23 |

| orville | hello folks, need some help. i'm getting the following error. dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-removal script: Permission denied | 20:30 |
| orville | does anyone know a possible solution? | 20:30 |
| spacebug- | orville: du you use sudo before the command? | 20:30 |
| orville | spacebug-: yes | 20:30 |
| mattt_ | Any idea why apt-get update would be retrieving empty or incomplete package lists? | 20:30 |
| orville | spacebug-: but su-ing to root doesn't solve this | 20:31 |
| orville | problem | 20:31 |
| spacebug- | could it be that some other process has locked the file it wants to change | 20:31 |
| spacebug- | like you have synaptic running or somehting? | 20:31 |
| orville | spacebug-: aptitude was running before. but i quit it. | 20:32 |
| orville | perhaps it crashed instead of quit... | 20:32 |
| bc81 | aadrian__: you can check herehttp://gnome-look.org/?xcontentmode=36 maybe edit one of those theme packs | 20:32 |
| spacebug- | orville: could be. See if any process is still alive | 20:32 |
| orville | spacebug-: nein | 20:33 |
| spacebug- | hum | 20:33 |
| orville | indeed | 20:33 |
| spacebug- | orville: it looks like the package you want to uninstall installed a removeal script that it cannot execuet | 20:34 |
| GriGi | Still nothing. But it's not big deal, I can live with that bug. But I have another question, I got my profile with password. When I login I don't have to type that password, but when I see my wallpaper, then window called something like "Type password to unlock the ring" appear, and I have to type password. What I have to do, to type password, before login, in the login screen? | 20:34 |
| spacebug- | orville: setuid set on that file maybe? | 20:34 |
| orville | spacebug-: i've mounted my /var partition and set it to noexec | 20:34 |
| GriGi | Now I got only "login" button, no space to type password. But in settings I got checked: ask for password, or something like that. | 20:35 |
| orville | spacebug-: but noexec should allow scripts to run, not executables | 20:35 |
| orville | so that shouldn't be an issue | 20:35 |
| GriGi | Short version: It asks for password, after login, not before.;) | 20:35 |

| spacebug- | orville: I'm not sure. I think you are not alloved to execute any file are you? | 20:36 |
| spacebug- | orville: you could try to change the setting to allow execute to test | 20:36 |

| MFen | anyone have a clue why my middle mouse button doesn't work right since upgrading to oneiric? it *works*, but middlemouse+drag no longer works | 20:57 |
| MFen | this makes it really annoying to use gimp, and it forced me to change my resize shortcut | 20:57 |
| xangua | MFen: you mean alt+middle clic¿ | 20:57 |
| xangua | MFen: middle clic alone doesn't drag anything | 20:58 |
| MFen | xangua: yeah, i had to change alt+middle+drag to alt+right+drag | 20:58 |
| MFen | because middle+drag does nothing any more. resize and gimp are the main places i use that, but it's a huge efficiency booster in both cases | 20:59 |

| Strav | Hi! Since the last couple of weeks, I'm experiencing random shutdowns on my thinkpad x200, running ubuntu 11.10 (as if the power was suddenly cut). It seems to coincide with the installation of a ssd drive although nothing is certain. ATM I'm doing several tests to determine what would the exact cause be. So far, there's not much in the logs (although I ain't sure where should I look) and it probably not a temperature issue since I had | 21:33 |
| Strav | one of those shutdown right after resuming from suspend (everything was cool as can be). I did quick and extended smart tests on my ssd and it seems to be fine; last thing I'm about to check is the main memory I'm just waiting for the live cd to download. Anyone has some suggestion on how should I further proceed? | 21:33 |
| Buby | whats a good irc server package. looking for something very lightweight. | 21:33 |

| Strav | module000: thanks. Sorry but I'm not really used to thinker with hardware. Is there anything I should look for on the psu? | 21:38 |
| djbenny | @orangepnut click on the skype icon in the top statusbar then activate | 21:38 |
| module000 | Strav: the simplest test is to replace it, but i'd focus on the logs before you jump to hardware | 21:38 |
| haux | module000, any suggestions based on that output? | 21:39 |
| caenecse | somebody help me with my tv card | 21:39 |
| Strav | module000: ok, well I'll just wait for another shutdown to happend and rescan everything, the main file to check would be: dmesg, syslog and kern.log right? | 21:39 |
| orangepnut | djbenny, I'm new to ubuntu but I only have a skype icon on the left bar | 21:39 |
| module000 | Strav: look at messages/daemon log also | 21:39 |

| orangepnut | djbenny, I currently have it open and there's no skype icon next to the clock just mail, internet, sound | 21:40 |
| caenecse | ok | 21:41 |
| haux | module000, /dev/sda is the drive on which I want to install grub. Currently, it is installed on /dev/sdb. But yes, sda is a valid device. | 21:41 |
| djbenny | orangepnut then how do you know it opems multiple sessions? | 21:42 |
| orangepnut | djbenny, because when i click the skype icon again to try and reopen the windows i had minimized it just asks me to login again and when i check the system monitor it says skype is still running | 21:42 |
| djbenny | hmm | 21:42 |
| module000 | haux: what type of partition table do you have on /dev/sda? | 21:43 |
| haux | module000, I have 3 drives. a 64GB ssd (sda), a 1TB seagate (sdb), and a 500GB WD (sdc). I originally mixed up the SATA cables when I did my OS installs and the Seagate 1TB took the GRUB install. I have since rearranged the cables and want to correct this. | 21:43 |
| haux | module000, Disc Utility says "Partition Type: Linux (0x83)" ? | 21:44 |
| module000 | haux: no that's the partition, i mean what type of table doe sthe disk have. view it by typing `parted /dev/sda` in console, then tell it "print" | 21:44 |
| module000 | haux: you're looking for either MSDOS, GPT, or something more exotic. if it says "unknown disk label", that's why it isn't working(means no table at all, ala a new drive) | 21:44 |
| systemclient | I installed GRUB to sda and sdb. How can I remove it from sda? | 21:45 |
| haux | module000, hopefully I am not confusing this. /dev/sda is ext4. Is that what you are referring to? | 21:47 |
| module000 | haux: nono. /dev/sda is a *disk*. /dev/sda1 is a *partition*. you install grub to disks, not partitions. | 21:47 |
| module000 | haux: partitions can be ext4, disks cannot | 21:47 |
| === [1]MichaelKing is now known as MichaelKing | ||
| module000 | haux: so if `grub-install /dev/sda` fails, you could examine the partition table of that disk by looking at the output of `parted /dev/sda` | 21:48 |
| clouder`grr | I figured it out, it was a line ending issue :/ | 21:48 |
| haux | module000, it brought up the "(parted)" prompt, how do I find out the filesystem? | 21:48 |
| module000 | haux: just type 'print' | 21:50 |
| module000 | haux: that will return a list of the partitions on the disk, and the partition table type of the disk itself. | 21:50 |
| haux | module000, MSDOS. | 21:51 |
| module000 | haux: okay, so the partition table is good on that disk. next question is why `grub-install /dev/sda` fails to install on it. did you google the error message it returns? i haven't seen that before | 21:51 |
| haux | module000, I know why. | 21:52 |
| haux | module000, I might be an idiot. I didn't use sudo. | 21:52 |
| haux | module000, it looks like it was successful this time. | 21:52 |
| module000 | haux: =P | 21:52 |

| haux | module000, so I should reboot now and follow whatever grub prompts me to do from there? | 21:54 |
| module000 | haux: yep, with sane BIOS settings you should boot from /dev/sda, which will be grub for you now | 21:54 |
| haux | I have a 100mb partition where grub is installed right now. If this works, I can delete that partition? | 21:55 |

| Riddell | tony_: #kubuntu is worth a try | 22:52 |
| tony_ | alrighty, thanks guys! | 22:52 |
| napalm54 | Canonical is ending support for Kubuntu right? | 22:52 |

| Uncle_Fester | i like the gnome deskltop | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Uncle_Fester: latest is 11.10 but 12.04 is out in April and is LTS | 22:57 |
| Uncle_Fester | will i keep all the downloaded programs idf i update | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Uncle_Fester: the Unity desktop is default in Gnome based Ubuntu, you can use XFCE and your Gnome apps will run just fine | 22:57 |
| uni4dfx | why is #wine invite-only? | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Uncle_Fester: you can update, or clean install. An upgrade will keep the apps. The PPA I gave may fix your sound issue in the present install | 22:58 |

| BrendanMcc | ActionParsnip: I'm new at this.. a little hint? | 22:58 |
| playit | anyone know how to change the default load location of an app? | 22:58 |
| playit | (position and size) | 22:59 |
| tony_ | what do you mean default load location? | 22:59 |
| playit | firefox always loads all the way to the left ( which I don't like ) I want it to be centered | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | BrendanMcc: when is the file located and what is it's name? | 22:59 |
| uni4dfx | There is no way in hell I am registering on an IRC server. | 22:59 |
| napalm54 | Why not? | 23:00 |
| uni4dfx | because it's completely redundant | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | playit: compiz can specify workspaces where an app starts, you can also use devilspie (use gdevilspie to configure (available from google-code0) | 23:00 |
| BrendanMcc | its located at /opt/GNS3/IOS/cat2820a.9.00..04.bin | 23:00 |

| ActionParsnip | Uncle_Fester: I would, yes | 23:00 |
| napalm54 | uni4dfx: How is it completely redundant? | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | BrendanMcc: what does the file do? | 23:01 |
| playit | also Ubuntu 11.10 default background + gnome 3.2 with ubuntu orangeness / scrollness is awesome | 23:01 |
| Uncle_Fester | ok brb | 23:01 |
| uni4dfx | napalm54 it is pointless and serves no purpose other than nickname hogging | 23:02 |
| playit | i googled and it said to change a setting in compiz | 23:03 |
| zykotick9 | uni4dfx: registering serves several purposes, you just don't understand them. If you don't want to register that's fine, just don't join the channels that require it - problem solved. | 23:03 |
| playit | now i don't know if im using or should be using compiz in ubuntu 11.10 running 'gnome-shell' which is Gnome 3.2 | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | uni4dfx: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents explains why its a good idea | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | playit: ps -ef | grep -i compiz will show if you are ;) | 23:04 |
| aBound | As far as I know gnome-shell uses mutter. | 23:04 |
| aBound | gnome-shell isn't integrated with compiz and from what the developers say won't be integrated with compiz. | 23:05 |
| uni4dfx | ActionParsnip right... like i said, nickname hogging and avoiding complications (invite only channels) that didn't need to exist in the first place :P | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | uni4dfx: its the choice of the channel maintainer. I suggest you take it up in #freenode | 23:05 |
| playit | what would it look like if i was using compiz?? | 23:06 |
| uni4dfx | ActionParsnip i know i know... i better shut up | 23:06 |
| BrendanMcc | ActionParsnip: Its an image for a cisco IOS router | 23:06 |
| playit | can i post the information safely or does it have private stuff | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | playit: it will output a compiz process (you will always get a grep process) | 23:06 |
| Uncle_Fester | well still no sound | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | BrendanMcc: I suggest you ask in a cisco channel | 23:06 |

| Uncle_Fester | ok. i tried the natty narwhall and didnt like the desktop. was that kde? | 23:09 |
| zykotick9 | Uncle_Fester: saying "gnome desktop" in ubuntu is confusing, as Unity runs ontop of Gnome, but I wouldn't call it Gnome | 23:09 |
| gribouille | ActionParsnip, of course | 23:09 |
| Uncle_Fester | i'm still kinds new to this | 23:10 |

| reprapperMC | how do I* | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Uncle_Fester: the gnome desktop has the toolbars at the top... | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | reprapperMC: make a .desktop file for it and it will run the script. | 23:12 |
| Uncle_Fester | did you say i can get the latest 11.10 with gnome? | 23:13 |
| zykotick9 | reprapperMC: not 100% clear on your question, but "gnome-terminal -e /path/to/script" might help | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Uncle_Fester: you can if you want | 23:13 |
| jost | Uncle_Fester, in XFCE you can put your toolbars where you like them. You can make it look and function very similar to gnome 2 | 23:13 |

| playit | don't know then sorry | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | reprapperMC: the files that run apps that run apps are .desktop files.

| rahduke | ActionParsnip: its not technically an XBMC question | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Plizzo: can you access a different TTY when it is frozen, via CTRL+ALT+F3 for example? | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | rahduke: well, yes it is as you to configure xbmc to run the ubuntu app | 23:29 |

| Plizzo | ActionParsnip: Nope, I have no, how would I go about doing that, and what would it do? | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Plizzo: enter the BIOS and the option will be there, may make the system slower but may make the system different. May also want to check for BIOS updates too | 23:32 |
| Plizzo | ActionParsnip: I've already updated my EFI to the latest versio | 23:33 |

| craigbass1976 | I'm wondering if I'll be able to use photorec to recover files on a drive that I've already reinstalled an OS on | 23:41 |
| zykotick9 | kraz3d: you could try "w" but i doubt it will show vnc connections | 23:41 |
| Oins | ActionParsnip: Thx. I will try this | 23:41 |
| OerHeks | testdisk is pretty strait forward. the part that is written over, may not be reversable. | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | craigbass1976: you can use foremost on it, as long as the data has not been overwritten it may be recoverable. Why not just use your backups.... | 23:42 |
| === Gskellig|away is now known as Gskellig | ||
| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip, the drive I backed up to crapped out. I found out afterward, when I rebooted the backup box and found the drive to be shot. | 23:43 |
| === Knorre is now known as Knorre`BNC | ||
| ActionParsnip | craigbass1976: yikes | 23:43 |
| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip, not the word I had for it, but yikes works... | 23:43 |
| bcuraboy | how can i detect duplicades in ubuntu 1.10?talking about pictures | 23:45 |
| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip, so the drive I'm hunting on is xp. It was xp, then I wiped it, and reinstalled xp clean. I'm assuming the process is the same for a linux drive, yes? | 23:45 |
| bcuraboy | *ubuntu 11.10 | 23:45 |
| brimlar | Plizzo: if it freezes in LiveCD, it's hardware for sure | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | craigbass1976: will be identical, foremost is pretty decent | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bcuraboy: I believe shotwell can do that.. | 23:46 |
| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip, I'm curious as to how I tell it to look for stuff from before the wipe... | 23:46 |
| evilgeenius | HI, I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my dell E6510 laptop. Half way through booting I get a black screen. I suspect there is a problem with the xconf files, but I don't know. Is there a way I can get to these files without ssh'ing into the system so I can try to fix this issue? Im not sure what to do. Thanks | 23:47 |
| playit | hey ccsm isnt making changes to my compiz config | 23:48 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, you need a program that will scan the drive sector by sector | 23:48 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, also, unmount the drive totally and dont write anything more to it | 23:48 |
| damo22 | asa | 23:48 |
| damo22 | asap | 23:48 |
| zykotick9 | bcuraboy: geeqie has an excellent duplicate photo finder (goes far beyond, same filename, and will even find "similar" pictures) | 23:49 |
| craigbass1976 | damo22, It's not mounted. I shut off the computer as soon as I realized (a few days ago) what happened. There's just the fresh xp install that happened | 23:49 |
| urfr332g0 | evildaemon, there is a low graphic boot in the recovery or you can insert no9modeset in the kernel with a edit at the grub menu. | 23:49 |
| urfr332g0 | nomodeset | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | craigbass1976: it will check the whole drive, the good files will also be 'found', when you delete the files they are not deleted really unless you overwrite them | 23:50 |
| playit | ^ saved me when installing opensuse too | 23:50 |
| playit | then ubuntu saved me from opensuse | 23:50 |
| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip, foremost doesn't look like it supports many file types | 23:50 |
| playit | nomodeset in boot options | 23:50 |
| urfr332g0 | playit, if your tweaking ccsm be careful find info on this on the web. | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | craigbass1976: it may do what you want | 23:51 |
| playit | i was going to make it open windows in same location | 23:51 |
| playit | im using gnome 3.2 | 23:51 |
| playit | what can mess up | 23:51 |
| playit | im using ubuntu 11.10 | 23:51 |
| urfr332g0 | playit, gnome 3 is mutter not ccsm | 23:51 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, if it were me, i would install the drive into an external usb bay and run a special console only livecd that does NOT automount partitions | 23:51 |
| craigbass1976 | damo22, you think perhaps it's been automounted? I ran into that last week and had to run a fedora livecd... | 23:52 |
| kingfisher64 | does ubuntu 11.10 have problems with printing? I keep getting very inconsistent printing performance. One minute the printer will print 20 copies out fine the next it appears the print queue is messed up. | 23:53 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, i believe just the act of mounting one of those partitions rw could damage some of your data | 23:53 |
| craigbass1976 | damo22, is there a way to make sure it's not mounted now? mount doesnt' show /dev/sdb, and that's the borked drive. | 23:53 |
| urfr332g0 | playit, here is the man page. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/mutter.1.html | 23:54 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, you need to check sudo fdisk -l | 23:54 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, verify which drive it is and then check mount | 23:54 |
| craigbass1976 | damo22, yes, sdb is that drive. sda1 is the only one mounted, according to mount | 23:55 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, in that case, you have a good platform to recover | 23:55 |
| urfr332g0 | kingfisher64, not here to broad a question really? | 23:56 |
| === ZippiDi1 is now known as ZippiDi | ||
| damo22 | craigbass1976, do you have enough space on sda to create an image of sdb onto sda? | 23:56 |
| evilgeenius | Is there a way to go straight to the terminal and bypass the UI when booting ubuntu? | 23:56 |
| zykotick9 | !text | evilgeenius | 23:57 |
| ubottu | evilgeenius: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 23:57 |
| playit | haha .. well the good news is i probably only broke unity as ccsm has no effect on Gnome 3.2 x D | 23:57 |
| playit | supposedly im using mutter | 23:58 |
| evilgeenius | zykotick9: I have to use a tool called Rescatux in order to boot up ubuntu. But using this method I can't see the boot menu. | 23:58 |
| craigbass1976 | damo22, sdc has it I think. I'm manning du... | 23:58 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, ideally you should dump the whole sdb disk to a file somewhere.... | 23:58 |
| playit | gnome-tweak-tool or something like that | 23:59 |
| zykotick9 | evilgeenius: disable your DM in /etc/init as an alternative | 23:59 |
| playit | that sound accurate? | 23:59 |
| kingfisher64 | urfr332g0 - ok, does ubuntu have print issue queue problems with specific printers? | 23:59 |
| aBound | playit, Gnome-Shell uses mutter as it's window manager. :P | 23:59 |
| kingfisher64 | as a known issue? | 23:59 |
| |DM| | Hola, habla espanol? | 23:59 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, the filesizes are irrelevant on the sdb filesystem | 23:59 |
| craigbass1976 | foremost -i /dev/sdb1 is going to dump it into ./output I think | 23:59 |
| evilgeenius | zykotick9: I need to get to a terminal to do any changes | 23:59 |
| zykotick9 | !es |DM| | 23:59 |
| ubottu | DM|: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 23:59 |
| craigbass1976 | damo22, ^^ ? | 23:59 |
| aBound | Unity uses Compiz as it's window manager and draws the unity shell a long with it. | 23:59 |
| ThOr101 | I made the mistake of trying to revert back to gnome, in the process I think I borked my session manager (system boots to purple, then ubuntu with 5 dots). Can anyone point me in the direction of where to go to debug the session startup? I think it is still pointed at GDM. | 23:59 |
