| damo22 | craigbass1976, you should not use the partitions for recovery | 00:00 |
| zykotick9 | evilgeenius: so you can't get to a GUI? | 00:00 |
| Horroreyes | has anyone an idea how to fix that? | 00:00 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, you are looking for files that may cross the boundary of the newly created partitions | 00:00 |
| evilgeenius | zykotick9: I get a black screen. I've just installed ubuntu. Seems like a problem with my graphics drivers, but not sure exactly. | 00:00 |
| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | evilgeenius | 00:01 |
| ubottu | evilgeenius: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 00:01 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, in that case you need to read the whole disk | 00:01 |

| damo22 | craigbass1976, how big is the whole /dev/sdb? | 00:04 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, i dont mean how much space do the files take up, i mean the size of the whole disk | 00:04 |
| urfr332g0 | kingfisher64, have not seen any here the web might be a better source. | 00:04 |
| craigbass1976 | damo22, 160gb. sdc is 250, and I'm using less than 7g | 00:05 |
| Horroreyes | ActionParsnip, I do know it, but it's not the right way to install things with otherones rights... | 00:05 |
| urfr332g0 | kingfisher64, escapes me why you have not asked and not identified the printer | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Horroreyes: if you have their password, why not... | 00:06 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, so why dont you dump the whole drive /dev/sdb to a file on /dev/sdc? | 00:06 |
| craigbass1976 | damo22, I'm running sudo foremost -i /dev/sdb I quit it after a couple of seconds, andsee all sorts of stuff in there, so I've started it again and will let it run a while. | 00:06 |
| _Marcus | Hi | 00:07 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, i dont know how the foremost program works exactly, but i know for a fact that its safer to work with just an image of the damaged system rather than on the live one | 00:07 |

| stimoceiver | is this channel for help only, or may one discuss other topics such as ubuntu advocacy or ubuntu project steering and decisionmaking? =) | 00:09 |
| _Marcus | Jacruth: That's a bash problem. See #bash | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | !ot | stimoceiver | 00:10 |
| ubottu | stimoceiver: #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! | 00:10 |
| urfr332g0 | stimoceiver, no support is the channels job | 00:10 |
| _Marcus | stimoceiver: I believe this is for support only, #ubuntu-offtopic is for general Ubuntu or anything else. | 00:10 |
| Jacruth | thanks _Marcus | 00:10 |
| stimoceiver | thanks ubottu _Marcus and urfr332g0 | 00:10 |
| damo22 | craigbass1976, you would be better off doing dd if=/dev/sdb of=/path/to/new/file/on/sdc bs=512 | 00:11 |

| === bhunt|afk is now known as bhunt | ||
| ActionParsnip | stimoceiver: afaik, just select them for install and they will install when the previous jib completes | 00:13 |
| OerHeks | stimoceiver, when installing package 1, you can continue selecting | 00:13 |
| BlouBlou | stimoceiver: and if you want to do it faster, try Synaptic. | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | stimoceiver: or command line :) | 00:14 |
| luigi_ | #join napoli | 00:14 |

| ThOr101 | I thought that it would be lightdm. No? | 00:16 |
| stimoceiver | BlouBlou, OerHeks, ActionParsnip: I do already use synaptic, I was just wondering if there was an "Advanced Mode" to the Ubuntu Software Center. I like being able to create a job of a bunch of software installs and them commit them all at once. | 00:18 |
| zykotick9 | stimoceiver: create a script? "apt-get install foo1 foo2 foo3..." | 00:19 |
| israel | hi i'm using squid and i need to grant acces to a web but the restriction is that only that IP can do it, the proxy has users autentication any idea? | 00:19 |
| BlouBlou | !debian | israel | 00:20 |
| ubottu | israel: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 00:20 |

| _Marcus | !gtk | mtrd` | 00:24 |
| ubottu | mtrd`: GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI | 00:24 |

| ActionParsnip | mtrd`: any particular reason for compiling it? | 00:26 |
| mtrd` | ActionParsnip, just found the tarball first | 00:27 |
| MaxHr | danileigh79, my system seems to logon by itself with no password already... I just installed two days ago and havent changed much | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mtrd`: always search for ppas first | 00:27 |
| mtrd` | returns 404 error | 00:27 |
| danileigh79 | MaxHr: if you have auto log in, and screen lock turned off, it should not be locking | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | mtrd`: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 00:28 |
| mtrd` | oneiric | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | mtrd`: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freetuxtv/freetuxtv; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install freetuxtv | 00:28 |
| MaxHr | danileigh79, any other ideas? I just verified the settings you suggested, is this a bug in the newest ubuntu? | 00:28 |
| mtrd` | oh... | 00:29 |

| motherbrain | anybody know how what the problem is.... or an alternative | 00:56 |
| _Marcus | !zenmap | 00:57 |
| _Marcus | Intresting. I found this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/zenmap yet it doesn't know zenmap | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | zenmap is in the universe repo | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | motherbrain: how come I could find that? I connect to the same internet you are... | 00:57 |
| motherbrain | ok, I used to use that for portscanning but I see they include the ability to do network mapping ... don' t know how good it will be hopefully it is as good as what the dude can do | 00:58 |
| federated_life | I have 8gb installed, dmidecode show 2 slots with 4gb each...but free -m only shows 4gb, anyone have ideas? | 00:59 |
| Bitmess | ActionParsnip, I think losetup will do it for me. | 00:59 |

| ActionParsnip | Tweak: uninstall fglrx, then reboot, then reinstall it | 01:00 |
| motherbrain | is their anyway you can get zenmap to map some stuff out side of your local domain ? | 01:00 |
| Tweak | ActionParsnip: ok i will go try that now. thank you sir! | 01:00 |
| _Marcus | federated_life: Are you on 32 bit or 64 bit? | 01:02 |
| federated_life | 64bit | 01:02 |
| motherbrain | basically is their any software out their that can map WAN ? | 01:02 |
| federated_life | I had 6GB and put another 4GB stick in, but now free -m only show 4gb | 01:02 |

| === breatbreaker82 is now known as beatbreaker82 | ||
| motherbrain | yes and ActionParsnip link works fine for my local domain was wondering if their is software to map some outside WAN domain structures because the zenmap doesn't really do a good job at this ... their has to be better software out their for visually mapping the network...I agree though it is the best portscanner or at least the top one | 01:05 |
| === beatbreaker82 is now known as beatbreaker | ||
| ActionParsnip | motherbrain: tell your router / switch to let ICMP through and it will go outside. WANs don't have domains, only subnets | 01:06 |
| ekalavya | hey | 01:08 |
| _Marcus | Hello, ekalavya | 01:08 |
| motherbrain | Temporarily , I disconnected from the router and directly plugged into the modem so thier is no router firewall blocking ICMP packets....etc so I don't know why it is not really show the complete structure... I know alot is missing it only shows my computer and the one website computer I know I am missing alot of structure... how to fix what is the cause | 01:09 |
| ekalavya | hello Marcus | 01:09 |
| motherbrain | If they are blocking ICMP packets maybe I can use some other packets or something like http ...but that would restrict to site that have webpages | 01:10 |
| ekalavya | am new to bopth irc and ubuntu | 01:10 |
| _Marcus | !root | WhiteEye | 01:10 |
| ubottu | WhiteEye: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:10 |
| _Marcus | Wut. I thought it was a warning about using root on the internet | 01:10 |
| Flannel | !rootirc | 01:11 |
| zykotick9 | !rootirc | 01:11 |
| ubottu | It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 01:11 |
| _Marcus | Oh. | 01:11 |

| lister | does ubuntu give the user root status | 01:12 |
| lister | ? | 01:12 |
| cfhowlett | !sudo|lister | 01:12 |
| ubottu | lister: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 01:12 |

| agentgasmask | Hi all. Does anyone know what the linux support for a card like this is? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150574 | 01:16 |
| cfhowlett | MK` probably not ... | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | MK`: could run it in dosbox | 01:16 |
| ActionParsnip | MK`: what is SQ? | 01:16 |
| MK` | it was DOS's zip program back in the day | 01:17 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: i'm quessing SQ = Space Quest? | 01:17 |
| cfhowlett | agentgasmask see http://www.linux-drivers.org/ | 01:17 |
| truexfan81 | i guess i left out i use dual monitors with xineramma | 01:17 |
| damo22 | MK`, you have an old archive you want to uncompress? | 01:17 |
| MK` | damo22 yeah, I guess I will have to use dosbox and find the program somewhere | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | MK`: why not use unp or one of the gui apps if you want to manipulate archives.? | 01:18 |
| truexfan81 | i like lxde but for some reason it won't work with my display setup | 01:18 |
| _Marcus | MK`: And nothing else will unzip it? | 01:18 |
| damo22 | i used to use ARJ compression in dos | 01:18 |
| MK` | no :P it's ok, I will try dosbox. | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | truexfan81: XFCE, KDE and Gnome are all fine. XFCE is the lightest of those 3 | 01:19 |
| mrdeb | hi | 01:19 |
| trism | MK`: SQ works nearly perfectly in scummvm | 01:19 |

| damo22 | wth why would anyone want to send packets of random data to stop someones internet from working properly | 01:29 |
| Ben64 | most places its illegal to intentionally try to disable someone's services | 01:29 |
| Ben64 | quite different than other "illegal" things, like encryption | 01:30 |
| _Marcus | Why would encryption be illegal? | 01:30 |
| damo22 | _Marcus, because then NSA and CIA cant break your code | 01:30 |

| _Marcus | damo22: Encryption isn't illegal in the US, is it? | 01:31 |

| _schism_ | so even if you are running it in a directory you still have to tell it your running it in the directory and that is how it does it then? | 02:17 |
| log | _schism_: Yes. | 02:17 |
| totesmuhgoats | _schism_: well you either have to specify an absolute path, or a relative path | 02:17 |
| zykotick9 | _schism_: it is a BAD idea to have your current directory in your $PATH | 02:17 |
| === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta | ||
| totesmuhgoats | absolute path would mean /usr/bin/whatevs | 02:17 |
| totesmuhgoats | relative path would be ./poo or ../some/poo | 02:18 |
| _schism_ | zykotick9, no I meant as in I am in the directory when I run it | 02:18 |
| zykotick9 | _schism_: right, thus the ./ | 02:18 |

| zykotick9 | _schism_: if you "ls" you'll see the first two entries are . and .. -- the . means, this directory .. means up a directory (sorry getting a bit off origional topic there) | 02:19 |

| ubottu | _schism_: 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. | 02:25 |
| _schism_ | lol I love the bots | 02:25 |
| log | _schism_: Hehe. | 02:25 |
| totesmuhgoats | jlb181: ../ is the parent folder of the result of pwd | 02:25 |
| totesmuhgoats | jlb181: and ~/ is the path to your home folder | 02:25 |
| totesmuhgoats | they are just shorthand ways of typing it | 02:26 |
| Cube`` | tensorpudding: i cannot start it up. sudo service ssh start gives me: start: Job failed to start | 02:26 |
| _schism_ | any anyone was a real question to get some personal feedback as to how easy it is for a noob to use | 02:26 |
| zykotick9 | _schism_: i doubt you'll find many (err, any) ksplice users here, maybe in #ubuntu-server? | 02:27 |
| log | _schism_: There's only one way to find out. ;P | 02:27 |
| Karmaon | Wouldn't it be great if you had a infinite vertical desktop workspace that scrolled up and down smoothly along with your mouse scroll? | 02:27 |
| yusuke | oh | 02:27 |

| jlb181 | Good stuff to know really! I see a lot of people complain about the command line, but it is so useful and fast! | 02:27 |
| _schism_ | zykotick9, but you guys now how to deal with noobs like me the grey beards scare me | 02:27 |
| tensorpudding | Cube``, are you sure you're not already running sshd? | 02:27 |
| _schism_ | log I agree but I am a coward | 02:27 |
| log | _schism_: Be bold. ;) | 02:28 |
| zykotick9 | _schism_: i highly doubt you need to be using ksplice | 02:28 |
| _schism_ | log if I wanted to be bold I would run arch :) | 02:28 |
| tensorpudding | Cube``, it's possible that the script is failing because sshd is already running | 02:28 |
| _schism_ | zykotick9, I know I dont need it I just am thinking of poking at it to learn something new | 02:28 |
| zykotick9 | _schism_: well, knock yourself out. ksplice was aquired by Oracle, so it's on my "won't use" list. good luck. | 02:29 |
| satyanash | Karmaon, You could place a lot of vertical windows and set mouse scroll to 1 horizontal pixel line per scroll, to give you smooth scrolling; however getting back to your earlier viewport would be difficult if you have infinite/lots of desktops.. | 02:29 |
| mister2 | hey guys, i'm having some issues sharing between computers using samba. They're all running 11.04. Sometimes one computer won't connect to the other, and i'll have to logout and in on the one i'm trying to serve off of in order to get a connection. That's kind of a drag, are there any typical problems that could be or some things i could try to fix it? | 02:29 |
| _schism_ | zykotick9, I hadnt thought about that. looks like I may not poke at it now | 02:30 |
| TurtleSoup | Ubuntu 10.04LTS: Is there a way to write a script that copies *new* files from one folder into another folder? | 02:30 |
| ActionParsnip | TurtleSoup: look into rsync | 02:30 |
| zykotick9 | mister2: if both machines are Ubuntu, you could look into using NFS for a more network filesystem | 02:31 |
| zykotick9 | s/more/more stable/ | 02:31 |
| log | _schism_: Maybe you could ask the people in #ksplice. | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | mister2: try restarting the samba service instead of logging off and on and such | 02:31 |
| mister2 | zykotick9 and nfs would be what? | 02:32 |
| _schism_ | log but they are not #ubuntu :) | 02:32 |
| log | True, true. :) | 02:32 |
| tensorpudding | Cube``, what happens when you sudo service ssh stop | 02:32 |
| mister2 | actionparsnip i'll do that next time it bugs out, is there a simple command for it? | 02:32 |
| zykotick9 | mister2: nfs is unix's (and gnu/linux) Network File System | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | mister2: sudo service smbd stop; sudo service smbd start | 02:32 |
| === RenatoSilva is now known as Pikkachu | ||

| Pikkachu | hi, where are synaptic custom filters stored? | 02:33 |
| Cube`` | tensorpudding: stop: Unknown instance: | 02:33 |
| Karmaon | satyanash: it doesn't have to be infinite. I find using ctrl-alt down/up cumbersome when needing to switch workspaces quickly | 02:33 |
| zykotick9 | mister2: you should probably do some reading/research first, it's perhaps not as easy to setup as Samba (personally i find it MUCH easier, but I'm familiar with it) | 02:33 |
| tensorpudding | Cube``, so it's not already running then | 02:33 |
| Cube`` | tensorpudding: yeah :( | 02:33 |
| zykotick9 | !nfs | mister2 | 02:34 |
| ubottu | mister2: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 02:34 |

| tensorpudding | Cube``, does /usr/sbin/sshd exist | 02:34 |
| satyanash | Karmaon, It's doable then.. but you want scrolling to work wherever your mouse pointer is, right? not just on the desktop ? | 02:34 |
| TurtleSoup | ActionParsnip: is there a way to have rsync constantly running? I want to back up files from one hard drive to another, but only if they're added from this point on. I also want to be able to modify the files on one of the drives, so RAID isn't for me. | 02:34 |
| TurtleSoup | (or does RAID let me do that?) | 02:34 |
| Karmaon | satyanash: just on the desktop | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | TurtleSoup: cron a job to run every 10 mins or so, I believe dropbox does LAN sync too, worth looking into | 02:35 |
| satyanash | Karmaon, Hmm. It is doable, I believe you can change the virtual desktop settings in the control panel, and also set up mouse scroll switching from there too. | 02:37 |
| tensorpudding | Cube``, what happens if you simply run /usr/sbin/sshd -D | 02:37 |
| evilgeenius | Hi All. I have tried installing Mint, Ubuntu and Debian, and after each install i get this error when the machine is restarted : "GRUB error: file not found." . After each install I have removed all partitions using GParted. I have just run a tool in a LiveCd called boot-repair. This tool attempted to repair grub but it failed. This tool created this pastebin : http://paste.ubuntu.com/846730/ . Could someone have a look | 02:37 |
| Dr_willis | evildaemon, which OS are you wanting to handle grub? | 02:38 |
| Pikkachu | hi, where are synaptic custom filters stored? | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis | bbl | 02:38 |
| satyanash | Karmaon, you will be better off asking other people how _exactly_ to do that, since I don't use the defaults that Ubuntu provides. | 02:38 |
| Karmaon | satyanash: heh, thanks! | 02:39 |

| extrapolated | to get the developers inline or start dropping packages that have low development activity. tired, tired, tired. | 02:40 |
| tensorpudding | _Marcus, you have to explicitly remove every package you don't want | 02:40 |
| zykotick9 | _Marcus: remove packages: *-desktop (ubuntu,xubuntu,etc), xorg-common, then autoremove after that [i'd guess] | 02:40 |
| evilgeenius | Dr_willis: Mint is installed at the moment. | 02:40 |
| aeon-ltd | _Marcus: why not just install server? | 02:40 |
| tensorpudding | i don't think autoremove will remove the dependencies | 02:40 |
| _Marcus | aeon-ltd: because server doesn't work for what I am doing. It's weird, it has some other Linux thing in it. | 02:41 |
| SillyScat | When I try to install new program/ perform some operations I am asked for a keychain login password. This is not my old password or my new password. Any ideas WTF is going on? | 02:41 |

| urfr332g0 | SillyScat, did you mistakenly make a password for root? | 02:43 |
| zykotick9 | _Marcus: i mean, ubuntu-desktop and/or kubuntu-desktop, etc | 02:43 |
| hydester | so i can get into my OS only if i cryptsetup luksOpen my encrypted lvm partition at initramfs and then exit. update /etc/crypttab with update-initramfs -u doesn't cause it to prompt me for a password on boot | 02:43 |
| hydester | any ideas how to fix this? | 02:43 |
| _Marcus | zykotick9: it said ubuntu-desktop isn't installed | 02:43 |
| _Marcus | How do I view all the packages I have installed> | 02:43 |
| zykotick9 | _Marcus: then you don't need to uninstall it | 02:44 |

| JHH | urfr332g0 What key should I put in. As I say I am a newb. Its literally when I'm trying to install from ubintu software center not through terminal | 03:19 |
| Firebolt | BrK_, you could use sudo to copy the files, or configure apache to use something like ~/webserver | 03:19 |

| Nach0z | is Reiser4 supported in any way in Ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| Firebolt | BrK_, you /could/ sudo git, or, if you use something under ~, it shouldn't have permissions errors | 03:22 |
| tensorpudding | Nach0z, it's almost surely supported in the kernel, so yes | 03:22 |
| tensorpudding | erik32533, you might consider using chromium, or google chrome | 03:23 |
| Nach0z | hm. | 03:23 |
| erik32533 | is that the only other browser | 03:23 |
| Cube`` | tensorpudding: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/16879/ | 03:23 |
| tensorpudding | no, but it's the most popular other browser by a longshot | 03:23 |
| tensorpudding | Cube``, make sure that /var/run/sshd has 755 permissions | 03:24 |
| erik32533 | dont know if yahoo games will work under chrome | 03:24 |
| tensorpudding | erik32533, why would it not? | 03:25 |
| jlb181 | celltech: try opening update manager, go to settings on the update tab select check for automatic updates Never | 03:25 |
| tensorpudding | it's unlikely it suffers the same bug that firefox does | 03:25 |
| celltech | Thank you | 03:25 |
| erik32533 | why cant i unistall version 10 | 03:25 |
| erik32533 | an go back to 9 | 03:25 |
| urfr332g0 | celltech, not advised but look in software sources. | 03:25 |
| tensorpudding | 9 is no longer supported | 03:25 |
| tensorpudding | by mozilla or by canonical | 03:25 |
| erik32533 | but cant it be downloaded | 03:25 |
| celltech | All updates do is make my OS bigger and bigger and bigger. I'm WAY over a couple gb's | 03:26 |
| tensorpudding | if there's a download available of it somewhere, which there surely is | 03:26 |
| urfr332g0 | celltech, clean the cache | 03:26 |
| celltech | Do it all the time | 03:26 |
| celltech | The OS is way huge | 03:26 |
| danileigh79 | I know Linux doesn't really need antiviruses, but are there any recommended programs to help tighten up against intrusion? | 03:26 |
| urfr332g0 | celltech, mine is about 3 gigs, seems reasonable. | 03:27 |
| tensorpudding | why is a couple of gigabytes a problem? | 03:27 |
| tensorpudding | it scales more slowly than hard disk sizes by a longshot | 03:27 |
| celltech | I have a 120gb drive and I've only got 90gb's left | 03:27 |

| zykotick9 | blud: what's the issue with mplayer exactly? | 03:28 |
| blud | biggest issue is it has no sound | 03:28 |
| blud | but im also kind of frustrated because getting freevo to use vlc was supposed to be as simple as changing a variable from 'mplayer' to 'vlc' but it had no effect | 03:29 |
| zykotick9 | blud: try "mplayer -ao pulse file.foo" or "mplayer -ao alsa file.foo" | 03:29 |
| blud | ok, but if it works then later i somehow have to figure out where/how freevo launches mplayer | 03:30 |
| zykotick9 | blud: you could set it in .mplayer/config if one works, and freevo "should" pick up the change | 03:31 |
| blud | i just have to reinstall mplayer first since i had removed it | 03:33 |

| cfhowlett | gfsdfgfdg except we told you about this LAST time...anyway, what's the problem. | 03:43 |
| gfsdfgfdg | CASE 1. In windows we have firewalls however in ubuntu are we using firewall automatically because I do not see it anywhere or must we configure it first. And does that mean I'm not using a firewall now because I just installed a fresh linux | 03:44 |
| zykotick9 | blud: there should be a way to set that in ~/.mplayer/config (not easy for me to websearch right now, or I'd look it up for you) | 03:44 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 03:45 |

| DanDare | It also informs network activity if its connected or disconnected in the taskbar | 03:51 |
| cfhowlett | DanDare disposable wireless? hmm. In gnome that would be the indicator applet | 03:51 |
| DanDare | cfhowlett: but its used to make connections also, by clicking in the icon | 03:51 |

| tadpole | guys | 04:19 |
| tadpole | i need a hand | 04:19 |
| tadpole | im using fluxbox | 04:19 |
| tadpole | and i dont know how to setup dual monitors with my ATI card | 04:19 |
| blud | ah its just ao=alsa | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | you installed the ati drivers ? | 04:20 |
| tadpole | yeh | 04:20 |
| tadpole | im new to linux | 04:20 |
| tadpole | i dont know where to go | 04:20 |
| Liamdrien | is there a known issue with booting from usb drives larger than a certain size? | 04:20 |
| tadpole | to set the option | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | run the ati config tool ? | 04:20 |
| tadpole | where is that? | 04:20 |
| meiji11 | check system preferences. | 04:21 |
| IcemanV9 | !xrandr | tadpole | 04:21 |
| ubottu | tadpole: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 04:21 |
| dr_willis | no idea what nenu. its cimmand is like.. amdcccl or similer from a terminal | 04:21 |
| invisigothik | sorry for the flood. :( | 04:21 |
| tadpole | lol, where's system preferences XD | 04:22 |
| invisigothik | lemme try again, i installed ubuntu 11.10 onto a desktop with a realtek ethernet card, which 11.10 doesnt like so much. i've updated the drivers and still no love. | 04:23 |
| Eruadan | I'm running ubuntu inside virtual box on a windows vista machine. Why when i press full screen, it doesn't get 100% full, just a big black box, with the small box desktop in the middle? | 04:25 |
| cfhowlett | Eruadan did you install guest additions? | 04:25 |
| Eruadan | on windows i must install? | 04:25 |
| Liamdrien | Eruadan what virtual machine program are you using? | 04:25 |
| Eruadan | virtual box | 04:25 |
| dr_willis | invisigothik: a wired nic? | 04:26 |
| cfhowlett | Eruadan read the virtualbox help file for Guest Additions - full instructions are there... | 04:26 |
| psusi | Eruadan, change the screen resolution | 04:26 |
| tadpole | yeh.. | 04:27 |
| Eruadan | psusi, the screen resolution of the ubuntu or in the windows host/? | 04:27 |
| tadpole | So...No idea how to setup dual monitoring in fluxbox? | 04:27 |
| snickers_ | ok guys, going to the strip club | 04:28 |
| dr_willis | tadpole: with the aticinfig tool i belive. | 04:28 |
| psusi | Eruadan, either.. if the virtual machine resolution is lower than the real screen resolution, then it won't use the whole screen | 04:28 |
| snickers_ | be back when hell freezes over | 04:28 |
| Eruadan | <cfhowlett>, i think guest additions would be if ubuntu was the host sytem, wich is not the case | 04:28 |
| tadpole | how do i get the aticonfigtool? | 04:28 |
| dr_willis | !ati | 04:28 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | Eruadan news to me but entirely possible. Sorry if I misdirected you. | 04:29 |
| Eruadan | psusi, it's funny, cause i installed archlinux also, and i din't have such problem | 04:29 |
| dr_willis | invisigothik: best to chat in the channel. i may have to leave at any time | 04:30 |
| Eruadan | how can i change screen resolution ? | 04:31 |
| dr_willis | tadpole: open a terminal. try amd<tab> that should show a list. | 04:31 |
| urfr332g0 | Eruadan, in display | 04:32 |
| tadpole | doesnt | 04:32 |
| tadpole | err | 04:32 |
| dr_willis | hit tab a few times | 04:32 |
| tadpole | i want to get rid of flux box | 04:32 |
| tadpole | ah | 04:33 |
| tadpole | there we go | 04:33 |
| Jezarith | Did sun-java6-jdk just get yanked from partner? | 04:33 |
| chaz | Anyone know how to get Rhythmbox to access my media server via DLNA ? | 04:33 |
| dr_willis | bash basics... :-) | 04:33 |
| zykotick9 | Jezarith: yes, Oracle said no one can distribute except them | 04:33 |
| tadpole | now what | 04:33 |
| Eruadan | i think i found the problem, maximum res it gives me it's 800 x 600 | 04:34 |
| Jezarith | zykotick9, I saw a post on slashdot a few months back, but it has worked... when did it get yanked? Do we know any mirrors? this is really a bitch | 04:34 |
| zykotick9 | Jezarith: no idea | 04:34 |
| psusi | I suppose that's what happens when you rely on closed source software... | 04:35 |
| tadpole | i still dont know what to do after that XD | 04:35 |
| dr_willis | !java | 04:35 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 04:35 |
| Jezarith | dr_willis, I know, It doesn't make it less of a pain in the ass. | 04:36 |
| yanick_ | I try to change a process priority (to a lower value) but it constently reset back to 0, how can I force the priority to be permanent on the process? | 04:36 |
| dr_willis | Jezarith: webupd8 blog has some guides | 04:36 |
| Jezarith | dr_willis, I have a about 20 different puppet manifests with it as an apt dependency, and apps that require sun's version. So.. shit | 04:36 |
| tadpole | dr_Willis | 04:37 |
| tadpole | how about you control my screen and do it for me? | 04:37 |
| tadpole | im hopeless XD | 04:37 |
| tadpole | Or you could tell me how to get rid of fluxbox :P | 04:37 |
| dr_willis | tadpole: nit going to happen. on my phone | 04:37 |
| tadpole | mmk | 04:37 |
| pangolin | Jezarith: please mind your language | 04:37 |
| zykotick9 | tadpole: install another WM/DE and select it at login | 04:38 |
| haux | grub2 will no longer load on startup. It boots directly into Ubuntu. I've done grub-install, update-grub, everything. no luck. any suggestions? | 04:38 |
| tadpole | how do i do that? | 04:38 |
| Jezarith | lol... | 04:38 |
| tadpole | I want the original ubuntu one back | 04:38 |
| dr_willis | how did you remove it? | 04:39 |
| tadpole | idk | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | haux: HOLD shift after BIOS to get grub menu | 04:39 |
| tadpole | my bro did it for me | 04:39 |
| tadpole | he is insane with this shiz | 04:39 |
| tadpole | but he is offline and im desperate | 04:39 |
| haux | zykotick9, shouldn't it display automatically though? It always has before | 04:39 |
| dr_willis | install the ubuntu-desktop package | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | haux: if you only have ubuntu, i think it defaults to not showing | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | haux: you can change behaviour in /etc/default/grub | 04:40 |
| haux | zykotick9, Ubuntu/Windows. The whole windows thing is different issue entirely. | 04:40 |
| riyonuk | How come this link is broken on the website? :/ | 04:40 |
| riyonuk | http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.3/ubuntu-10.04.3-server-amd64.iso.torrent | 04:40 |
| zykotick9 | riyonuk: i believe there is a 10.04.4 now | 04:40 |
| pangolin | riyonuk: because 10.04.4 was released yesterday | 04:40 |
| chaz | Anyone got DLNA working with Rythmbox ? | 04:41 |
| haux | zykotick9, do you know what I would have to change? | 04:41 |
| zykotick9 | haux: look for hidden entries i think | 04:41 |
| haux | zykotick9, GRUB_DEFAULT=0 ...change to 1? | 04:41 |
| zykotick9 | haux: not that | 04:42 |
| riyonuk | Where do I download? I'm just trying to download Ubuntu Server, haha | 04:42 |
| satyanash | pangolin, really ? | 04:42 |
| haux | GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 | 04:42 |
| haux | GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true | 04:42 |
| zykotick9 | haux: that's to choose which entry to boot by default | 04:42 |
| riyonuk | torrent please, direct download is really slow | 04:42 |
| zykotick9 | haux: that looks better ;) | 04:42 |
| quint | i cant remove wine | 04:42 |
| * satyanash goes to upgrade his servers to 10.04.04 | 04:42 | |

| zykotick9 | haux: i'd assume that timeout_quiet=true means hide it, i could have it wrong though | 04:43 |
| cfhowlett | quint wine takes up SO little space maybe just leave it there? | 04:43 |
| tadpole | how to i install the ubuntu-desktop package? | 04:43 |
| urfr332g0 | haux, sorry I meant the bot to show you this to run and pastebin the results.text http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 04:43 |
| haux | urfr332g0, I have that already | 04:44 |

| haux | yup | 04:45 |
| urfr332g0 | haux, this since all the changes? | 04:45 |
| haux | I just ran it | 04:45 |
| zykotick9 | haux: FYI if you make any changes to /etc/default/grub you need to run "sudo update-grub" for them to be applied | 04:46 |
| Liamdrien | Any other suggestions besides plop to get 11.10 to boot from my 8gb flash drive? I've tried quite a few options to no avail. Is this a limitation of the usb drive because of it's size? | 04:46 |
| haux | I recently rearrange some SATA cables. My primary drive changed to /dev/sda, and I wanted grub to be installed on it's mbr. In my attempt to do this, windows disappeared from the grub boot list. etc etc... I messed around and now grub won't load at all. | 04:47 |
| haux | *rearranged | 04:47 |
| urfr332g0 | haux, your missing this on the sda2 and the bootflag. /bootmgr /Boot/BCD | 04:48 |
| haux | Even tried recovatux or whatever it's called, from the super grub2 disc | 04:48 |
| ch33z | who the fuck is acceptance? | 04:48 |
| zykotick9 | Liamdrien: it certainly doesn't have anything to do with 8GB size, i've booted lots of USB sticks that size and larger | 04:48 |

| haux | urfr332g0, Sorry, I didn't understand that... | 04:48 |
| urfr332g0 | haux, your missing the full W7 boot files | 04:49 |
| ch33z | is there a mature and cool ubuntu chat anyone know of? | 04:49 |
| bazhang | !ot | ch33z | 04:49 |
| ubottu | ch33z: #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! | 04:49 |
| urfr332g0 | haux, use gparted to set the boot flag on the sda2 that is the windows install right? | 04:50 |
| haux | urfr332g0, yes | 04:50 |
| haux | urfr332g0, I know what I did now.. | 04:50 |
| ch33z | well, it would be cool to have a cool chat | 04:50 |
| haux | urfr332g0, I deleted the 100mb partition for windows because i thought the new grub install would load everything | 04:50 |
| vindav | Anybody know the terminal command to determine HDD size, and the amount of data it is holding ? | 04:51 |
| haux | It was the "system reserved" partition for windows 7 | 04:51 |
| bazhang | ch33z, this is support only. please chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:51 |
| ch33z | o cool | 04:51 |
| ch33z | yea | 04:51 |
| urfr332g0 | haux, that had the boot files you need go to ##windows for help | 04:51 |
| ch33z | do they whine if i talk normal though there? just wondering.. | 04:51 |
| bazhang | ch33z, please stay on topic here | 04:52 |
| Liamdrien | zykotick: I didn't think it did but my windows installs boot just fine off the flash drive it's just linux distros, it's not even limited to ubuntu I also tried debian and fedora. | 04:52 |
| ch33z | sorry bang bang | 04:52 |
| cfhowlett | vindav df -h | 04:52 |
| urfr332g0 | haux, withn the boot flag set on the sda2 a couple of commands from a recovery or install disc should get you fixed | 04:52 |
| ch33z | also bazhang | 04:52 |

| urfr332g0 | haux, a W7 disc that is. | 04:52 |
| zykotick9 | Liamdrien: sorry, i don't have an explanation for that. Good luck. | 04:53 |
| ch33z | when installing ubuntu server do i use my static ip as my host name? | 04:53 |
| ch33z | Hostname: | 04:53 |
| Liamdrien | zykotick9: thanks | 04:53 |
| zykotick9 | ch33z: i doubt hostname would allow periods | 04:53 |
| haux | urfr332g0, I will have to give that a try. Thanks for your help. I didn't realize boot files were missing... that was the missing key all along. | 04:53 |
| ch33z | yup | 04:53 |
| ch33z | does the host name just be wahtever we want? | 04:54 |
| ch33z | zykotick9 like "Server" as the host name | 04:54 |
| ch33z | call it "Server" | 04:54 |
| zykotick9 | ch33z: it's the Name of the computer, select anything you want | 04:54 |
| ch33z | figured that | 04:54 |
| ch33z | someone told me different | 04:54 |
| vindav | cfhowlett: thank you very much. BTW, do you know how one can use the SWAP area to store data instead of just /dev/sda5 (local drive) ? | 04:54 |
| zykotick9 | vindav: how big is your SWAP partition? | 04:55 |
| cfhowlett | vindav pretty sure that's a questionable idea but ask the channel... | 04:55 |
| zykotick9 | vindav: you DON'T want to store anything there - doubt it's possible | 04:55 |
| vindav | zytotick9: it is 232GB, used 135GB already for it. | 04:56 |
| zykotick9 | vindav: that's not SWAP then (or i hope it isn't) | 04:57 |
| zykotick9 | !tab > vindav | 04:57 |
| ubottu | vindav, please see my private message | 04:57 |
| cfhowlett | vindav my general rule is Swap = 2X ram. YMMV. | 04:57 |
| Poindexter_ | Hey guys I am running a Virtual IRC ubuntu client box. Just checking it out. | 04:58 |
| urfr332g0 | cfhowlett, how much ram do you have? | 04:58 |
| zykotick9 | cfhowlett: i'd suggest in modern times, 2X RAM is overkill - but it's easier then trying to explain Physical RAM + a little (if you want hibernate) | 04:59 |
| cfhowlett | urfr332g0 4 gig ram/8gig swap. | 04:59 |
| urfr332g0 | cfhowlett, ^^^^ | 04:59 |
| vindav | zykotick9: my /dev/sda5 HDD is my local drive; /dev/sda1 is that small portion of 100MB; and the /dev/sda2 is I guess the SWAP area. | 05:00 |
| cfhowlett | zykotick9 out of a 500g drive, 8G seems a trivial sacrifice to the computing gods. | 05:00 |
| vindav | cfhowlett: What is the purpose of SWAT ? | 05:00 |
| cfhowlett | !swap|vindav | 05:00 |
| ubottu | vindav: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 05:00 |
| meiji11 | special weaponry and tactics, of course. | 05:00 |

| === karthik is now known as Guest67838 | ||
| cfhowlett | meiji11 the first rule of swap is you don't TALK about swap. you've been warned... | 05:01 |
| zykotick9 | meiji11: i'd say SWAT is perhaps OT ;) | 05:01 |
| Poindexter_ | DrWillis how are you today? nice to see you again. | 05:01 |

| Mission | I | 05:05 |
| zykotick9 | Mission: start with ~/.bashrc | 05:06 |
| vindav | cfhowlett: ok, thanks for the info. Good to know and that Ubuntu self-manages it. Good. Got to go now.:D | 05:06 |
| Mission | thanks zykotick9 | 05:06 |
| cfhowlett | vindav have fun/be safe | 05:06 |
| zykotick9 | Mission: it really depends what you want to configure however, other common settings might be in ~/.profile | 05:07 |
| Mission | well I used to be able to configure it before | 05:07 |

| zykotick9 | Mission: "cat art.txt" is a command with a file. What do you really want to do? | 05:11 |
| meiji11 | I have an ubuntu question of my own. often, when experiencing a problem (ie I can't connect to my WAP) I'll reboot and find that ubuntu has automatically routed around it (or so it would seem).. is there a way to check the changes it made without resorting to /var/log or dmesg, etc? it's great that ubuntu does it, but I would like to know how. with other linux distributions, problems of that nature just.. persist, until I fix them myself. | 05:11 |

| invisigothik | hello again. i am having issues with getting a broadcom ethernet card to work with ubuntu 11.10. i have followed the instructions for installing the newer drivers for the realtek from the launchpad forum. the new driver installed, yet do not work. | 05:17 |
| zykotick9 | Mission: FYI i was wrong about MOTD, that doesn't show when you open a terminal | 05:19 |
| riyonuk | Okay, I think I botched something up on my server. I can't ping anything. All I did was change dhcp to static (tutorial for getting a static ip) and now it wont work :( | 05:19 |
| Mission | it's all good | 05:20 |
| Mission | I was able to figure things out | 05:20 |
| Mission | now ascii art loads :D | 05:20 |
| zykotick9 | riyonuk: using /etc/network/interfaces? Can you pastebin the current contents? | 05:20 |
| meiji11 | I don't know, I was having trouble with the ralink, and apparently.. rebooting ubuntu is magic sauce for one's problems. I have no idea why. | 05:20 |
| riyonuk | zykotick9: I'll try. | 05:20 |
| riyonuk | zykotick9: How do I select all text using nano? | 05:22 |
| riyonuk | God I feel like a retard right now d: | 05:22 |
| zykotick9 | riyonuk: sorry no idea, not really a nano-guy | 05:22 |
| invisigothik | i'll pastebin the ifconfig/lshw if this info will help anyone out there to help me.... | 05:22 |
| zykotick9 | riyonuk: do you have entries for address, netmask, network, broadcast and gateway? | 05:23 |
| dr_willis | invisigothik: check dmesg output also. try loading the new driver module by hand. | 05:24 |
| riyonuk | just address, netmask, and gateway | 05:24 |
| skegeek | I need some help figuring out why Ubuntu freezes when I plug the power cord in... | 05:24 |
| zykotick9 | riyonuk: then you are missing stuff | 05:24 |
| riyonuk | zykotick9: then the tutorial I just followed sucks. | 05:24 |
| cfhowlett | skegeek is your adaptor OEM? Replacement adaptors cause all kinds of funny things... | 05:25 |
| * riyonuk throws arms in the air | 05:25 | |
| zykotick9 | riyonuk: crappy tutuorials online are unfortunatly not-uncommon ;) | 05:25 |
| skegeek | I do know that I have to unplug the cord for BIOS to complete and OS to begin loading. But, I can plug it in without Windows freezing. | 05:25 |
| overclucker | riyonuk: do you have nameservers set? | 05:25 |
| invisigothik | http://paste.ubuntu.com/846830/ | 05:25 |
| hiexpo | acceptance, thats fine but don't pm me please > | 05:25 |
| riyonuk | nope | 05:25 |
| cfhowlett | skegeek OME or no... | 05:25 |
| skegeek | The power cord is original. | 05:25 |
| aBound | Hello all, I was curious was there anyway to switch the Unity numbered shortcuts to key combination shortcuts? | 05:26 |
| riyonuk | its in a vmware install though, so im not sure if I'm doing it the right way | 05:26 |
| cfhowlett | skegeek adaptor would be the box part - read the label. Should be of same manufacture as your computer. | 05:26 |
| acceptance | hiexpo: ok | 05:26 |
| invisigothik | dr_willis: i actually already did the driver by terminal code, following the instructions from launchpad | 05:26 |
| overclucker | riyonuk: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? | 05:26 |
| skegeek | It all came in the same box, I bought this laptop brand new. | 05:27 |
| cfhowlett | skegeek OK that should answer that question.... | 05:28 |
| riyonuk | it says host unreachable | 05:29 |
| riyonuk | this is actually quite complicated to setup, but it's fun nontheless | 05:29 |
| hiexpo | ? is that true that gnome 2 is out no longer supported ? | 05:29 |
| skegeek | I don't know why BIOS requires the cord to be unplugged, although Toshiba did release an upgrade recently which I still haven't figured out how to download/install. | 05:29 |
| cfhowlett | hiexpo consider g2 dead | 05:29 |
| overclucker | riyonuk: that means name servers aren't the problem | 05:29 |
| zykotick9 | hiexpo: g2 is alive and well in debian stable, for another year or so | 05:30 |
| cfhowlett | skegeek did a software center search for toshiba - some laptops have custom additions to make them more ubuntu friendly. | 05:30 |
| hiexpo | thats not good if g2 is out and thanks zykotick9 | 05:31 |
| machiolate | can someone help me ... i keep getting ' bash: ./my_script: bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 05:31 |

| machiolate | not sure why it won't execute, i've set the permissions and checked the path | 05:31 |
| zykotick9 | machiolate: check the first line #!/bin/bash is probably incorrect | 05:32 |
| machiolate | ok | 05:32 |

| hiexpo | MachHare, what is your bin bash script pastebinit | 05:32 |
| meiji11 | is the wayland project a substitute for x? | 05:32 |
| machiolate | ahh! thanks zykotic9 was missing a '/' lol | 05:32 |
| meiji11 | I hope so, because I passionately hate x. | 05:32 |
| overclucker | riyonuk: whats the link to the tutorial you used? | 05:32 |
| zykotick9 | machiolate: and my /bin/bash is only an example, use whatever interpreter the script uses | 05:32 |
| riyonuk | overclucker: I think the hardest part for me is just editing text. vim or nano, not very fun | 05:32 |
| hiexpo | oops soory MachHare | 05:33 |
| overclucker | riyonuk: that'll get easier with practice. | 05:33 |
| hiexpo | what is your bin bash machiolate | 05:33 |
| Pickleface | for some reason I cant dl music onto my blackberry I cant even see it plugged in | 05:34 |
| machiolate | ahh, it was referring to that line of specific code, got it. thanks again | 05:34 |
| hiexpo | np | 05:34 |
| riyonuk | overclucker: thanks for trying to help. going to learn vim before I try again, as I'm just spinning my wheels | 05:36 |
| hiexpo | riyonuk, maybe use nano | 05:36 |
| riyonuk | hiexpo: still hard, can't even ctrl+a, ctrl+c | 05:36 |
| hiexpo | riyonuk, what ya trying to do ? | 05:37 |
| riyonuk | hiexpo: just copy and paste /etc/network/interfaces | 05:37 |
| zykotick9 | riyonuk: you don't really need to pastebin that, we know you are missing stuff | 05:37 |
| zykotick9 | !pastebinit | riyonuk you might also be interested in | 05:38 |
| ubottu | riyonuk you might also be interested in: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 05:38 |
| hiexpo | riyonuk, why not much in there what ya needto know ? | 05:38 |
| hiexpo | riyonuk, what ya trying to find out about your network ? | 05:39 |
| hiexpo | riyonuk, lots of easier ways than going there | 05:41 |
| riyonuk | Alright, now I get ping: unknown host www.google.com, I configured /etc/networking/interfaces correctly (5 lines this time) | 05:44 |
| riyonuk | though I didn't do the nameserver thing, cause idk what he's talking about | 05:44 |

| Emillow | hi | 05:56 |
| cfhowlett | Emillow greetings | 05:56 |
| zykotick9 | !grub2 | Bham-Bob | 05:56 |
| ubottu | Bham-Bob: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 05:56 |

| chaos_zero | wow rtorrent ate all my memory | 05:57 |
| zykotick9 | !atemyram | chaos_zero | 05:58 |
| ubottu | chaos_zero: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 05:58 |

| riyonuk | YES I GOT IT TO WORK. LIKE A BOSS! :D | 06:00 |
| riyonuk | my router is 192.169.ZERO.1 | 06:00 |
| riyonuk | Okay, now after doing this, hopefully my plan will work. Now I can SSH, through Terminal on my Mac, into my Virtual Machine, since it's set to a static IP, right? I've already installed openssh-server, and guides online aren't too helpful with adding pub keys | 06:01 |
| pnorman | riyonuk: do you need help setting the keys up? | 06:03 |
| chaos_zero | like a boss | 06:03 |
| riyonuk | I know how to generate it, but no idea how to get it onto the virtual machine, or where it goes | 06:03 |
| pnorman | riyonuk: many routers have an option to assign some hosts (by MAC address) to always have the same IP | 06:03 |
| pnorman | riyonuk: the pub key goes into ~/.ssh/ and you'll have to either copy/paste, use scp, or something similar | 06:04 |
| Bham-Bob | so reading how to fix grub it says to type sudo grub-install /dev/XXX when I do that (replacing XXX with sda) cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?) | 06:04 |
| riyonuk | Wait, looks like SSH works if I use the name I installed ubuntu with | 06:05 |

| terminhell | AWESOME | 06:25 |
| dRounse | iyank4: its for my server, i use regular old ubuntu as my desktop | 06:25 |
| dRounse | i dont like awesome ive tried that | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | try lxde/lubuntu and see.. or go learn cli i guess | 06:25 |
| poyntz | actually | 06:25 |
| poyntz | I think it's now hpumount | 06:25 |
| Blue1 | poyntz: but what device is it? normally mounts are sudo mount /dev/xxx mountpoint | 06:25 |
| iyank4 | dRounse, have take a look to crunchbang linux ? | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | once you get the server setup. dont run the desktop..... | 06:25 |
| === Bobenhaus is now known as Ludlow | ||
| dipix | dRounse, if you don't mind me butting in, build yourself an AMD pc they are super cheap and will work awesome with ubuntu | 06:25 |
| dRounse | is a celeron d ok for a server? | 06:26 |
| poyntz | Blue1: I'm trying to mount a .img file to a directory - but the majority of the files aren't showing up when i don't use the -t hfsplus option | 06:26 |
| dr_willis | depends on the work the server is doing | 06:26 |
| dRounse | dipix i have an athlon ii but when use my celeron as a desktop its not quite good enough | 06:26 |
| Blue1 | poyntz: by imago do you mean iso? | 06:26 |
| poyntz | Blue1: only thing is that mount -t hfsplus -o <file> <dir> isn't working | 06:26 |
| Blue1 | image | 06:27 |
| poyntz | Blue1: no. .img file | 06:27 |
| dRounse | dr_willis just movies, music and word docs pretty much | 06:27 |
| incognito | Hello, I'm having trouble with my Audio...can someone help? | 06:27 |
| poyntz | Blue1: <file>.img, different format | 06:27 |
| poyntz | to .iso | 06:27 |
| Blue1 | poyntz: okay not fam. with mac so I can't help. | 06:27 |
| WoC | poyntz are you mounting a image file ? | 06:27 |
| poyntz | WoC: yep | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | dRounse: a 'file' server via samba is normally hd speed limited | 06:27 |
| WoC | poyntz -o loop | 06:27 |
| poyntz | WoC: only half the files show up if i do that | 06:27 |
| Blue1 | WoC: okay that is like an iso then | 06:28 |
| dipix | dRounse, I'm confused! are you using the Athlon or Celeron with your desktop? | 06:28 |
| dRounse | dr_willis its a seagate green 2tb 5900 rpm | 06:28 |
| poyntz | WoC: I'm guessing that the other files are not mounted | 06:28 |
| incognito | Everytime I load up my chrome/firefox and i put my game on, while i have rhythmbox open, it cuts the sound from my rhythmbox off but still keeps the file playing. Does anyone have any ideas? | 06:28 |
| dRounse | dipix athlon because its more powerful | 06:28 |
| WoC | poyntz the image has more than one partition ? | 06:28 |
| poyntz | WoC: because the fs type is not supported | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | a 'green' hd is green because its slower then normal hds ;) | 06:28 |
| poyntz | WoC: possibly | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | less speed = less power needed | 06:29 |
| poyntz | WoC: I wouldn't be surprised if it has 6/7 partitions | 06:29 |
| dRounse | dr_willis i know lol so im thinking im good for this server lol i hope | 06:29 |
| WoC | poyntz that could explain why you dont see all files | 06:29 |
| iyank4 | incognito, something about pulseaudio mixer *don't sure | 06:29 |
| antisk3ptic | I need a kerberos expert asap | 06:29 |
| poyntz | WoC: I think it's a hfs filesystem as well | 06:29 |
| incognito | iyank4: what about pulseaudio mixer? | 06:30 |
| dipix | dRounse, good, I have a Celeron on a desktop and it's not working when I installed ubuntu on it. pretty much good for a home file server | 06:30 |
| WoC | poyntz if u have a mac emulator to use it in, try that... assuming the image is from a mac | 06:30 |
| urfr332g0 | !ask > antisk3ptic | 06:30 |
| ubottu | antisk3ptic, please see my private message | 06:30 |
| antisk3ptic | okay thank you | 06:31 |
| dRounse | dipix, well ubuntu runs fine, but i do a lot of music and watching youtube and i can hear it struggle, also i play minecraft and my desktop with 2 gigs of ram the the athlon ii is struggling, i think itd kill my celeron | 06:31 |
| Blue1 | dRounse: what kind of card? | 06:31 |
| poyntz | WoC: I don't have a mac emulator :(. Basically I'm trying to covert a .dmg file to an .iso | 06:31 |
| incognito | I have downloaded the PulseAudio volume control package, but my driver is the alsa driver for the ASUS motherboard | 06:31 |
| dr_willis | minecraft is not very optmized. ;) | 06:32 |
| poyntz | WoC: I want to put all the files on the .iso onto a pendrive and install Mac OS X on another partition | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | poyntz: there may be dmg2iso converters for widows you could use in wie | 06:32 |
| antisk3ptic | So I am setting up an sftp server on a ubuntu 11.10 box. It will be on a network with Windows Server 2008, which is a domain controller. This sftp server will be strictly a file server, WinServ has Active Directory with Kerberos. I am used to setting up ssh with keys. I need to know how to set it up so users can authenticate with kerberos on a mainly windows based network and then get into | 06:32 |
| antisk3ptic | ubuntu box | 06:32 |
| poyntz | dr_willis: I don't have windows :( | 06:32 |
| chris_ | anyone like to look to see whats wrong with a php script of mine(and maybe give me some pointers) | 06:33 |
| iyank4 | incognito, seems chrome/firefox is directly using alsa, or the rhythombox that directly using alsa.. check the output setting of rythmbox, *i'm using banshee | 06:33 |
| dipix | dRounse, your daily use is pretty heavy, I'd suggest building a quad core | 06:33 |
| chris_ | http://pastebin.com/STBCLKVt | 06:33 |
| poyntz | dr_willis: I crashed my windows installation and now only have linux | 06:33 |
| WoC | poyntz that sounds more like a osx question than ubuntu question | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | poyntz: to boot from the pendrive? try just dd-ing the image to the flsdh | 06:33 |
| dRounse | Blue1 GeForce 6150SE nForce | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | poyntz: windows tools often work in 'wine' | 06:33 |
| incognito | iyank4: in my pulseaudio playback it doesn't show my chrome right now, and i have my game up, but it shows rhythmbox | 06:33 |
| debugg3r | I hate niggers. | 06:33 |
| Ben64 | chris_: you know... nmap exists | 06:34 |
| taipres | probably should add that to the bots | 06:34 |
| dRounse | dipix when i get the money im going to build one, but im going to build an htpc first then a desktop, then upgrade storage on my server | 06:34 |
| chris_ | I dont know what nmap is | 06:34 |
| antisk3ptic | I have figured how to go into sshd_config and set KerberosAuthentication to yes, but i basically need to know how to route the windows server to the ubuntu box so it knows which kerberos to authenticate with | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | !info nmap | 06:34 |
| ubottu | nmap (source: nmap): The Network Mapper. In component main, is extra. Version 5.21-1.1 (oneiric), package size 1584 kB, installed size 7064 kB | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | chris_: your php script can be replaced by "nmap -sP 1.1.1.1-100" | 06:35 |
| taipres | nmap is a scanner...an advanced one at that, lets you detect operating systems and other things | 06:35 |
| Blue1 | dRounse: that sounds more like a video card | 06:35 |
| Blue1 | dRounse: try: lspci | grep Audio | 06:35 |
| incognito | iyank4: how would i go about finding out if my chrome/firefox is directly accessing my alsa driver? | 06:35 |
| dRounse | oh you i thought you said video card | 06:35 |
| Blue1 | dRounse: my bad I thought you had sound card issues. | 06:36 |
| dRounse | nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio | 06:36 |
| dRounse | noo i have more video card issues than sound card | 06:36 |
| dipix | dRounse, that's good man, in the mean time just take it easy on them old hardware | 06:36 |
| Blue1 | dRounse: okay that sounds better | 06:36 |
| mmTrent | How do I see if my videocard driver is installed? | 06:36 |
| dRounse | lscpi | 06:37 |
| chris__ | sorry about that | 06:37 |
| dRounse | mmTrent lscpi -v | 06:37 |
| poyntz | dr_willis: how about Mac tootls? | 06:37 |
| poyntz | *tools? | 06:37 |
| blub0x | First Install. My network tools device tab is not sized properly and the adapters are not visible | 06:37 |
| chris__ | what was nmap? | 06:37 |

| dRounse | dipix: im trying lol | 06:37 |
| ch33z | ihow do i set up name resolution? | 06:37 |

| ch33z | see, | 06:39 |
| ch33z | ive done the setting up of my static ip | 06:39 |
| cfhowlett | sunshine losing your windows boot only means correcting the windows error - not reinstalling an entire OS. | 06:39 |
| mmTrent | Blue1, AIGLX sound correct? | 06:39 |
| cfhowlett | where are you in the process now? | 06:39 |
| ch33z | so im trying to set up my domain name on my server i have here | 06:39 |
| Blue1 | mmTrent: something like: (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 195.36.31 Thu Jun 3 08:59:25 PDT 2010 | 06:39 |
| cfhowlett | sunshine where are you in the process now? | 06:39 |
| ch33z | my issue should be basic correct? | 06:40 |
| Blue1 | dRounse: sound or video issue? | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | chris__: then you can use that to ping 100 computers | 06:40 |
| ch33z | just setting up a basic html page | 06:40 |
| sunshine | Since i overwrote the windows bootloader partition,i had to use windows disk to reinstate it | 06:40 |
| mmTrent | Blue1, It says GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST Gl provider for screen 0 | 06:40 |
| sunshine | but then i lost ubuntu | 06:40 |
| cfhowlett | !who|sunshine | 06:40 |
| ubottu | sunshine: 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 :) | 06:40 |
| Blue1 | mmTrent: okay then it looks like you are using a stock driver | 06:40 |
| blub0x | Can anyone offer me some help | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | sunshine: you can use the linux bootloader (grub) to boot windows | 06:40 |
| dRounse | Blue1: when playing minecraft i have videocard issues, i know 2 gigs of ram isnt a whole lot but that should be sufficient | 06:41 |
| bazhang | blub0x, with what | 06:41 |
| nerdzz | what channel for backtrack | 06:41 |
| mmTrent | Blue1, Do you think i'll get a performance increase if I switch drivers? Because scrolling webpages is even sluggish. | 06:41 |
| ch33z | yup? | 06:41 |
| Ben64 | !backtrack | nerdzz | 06:41 |
| ubottu | nerdzz: 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 | 06:41 |
| ch33z | anyone care to help? | 06:41 |
| bazhang | nerdzz, #backtrack-linux | 06:41 |
| Blue1 | dRounse: indeed | 06:41 |
| cfhowlett | sunshine so now you're corrected your windows boot? | 06:41 |
| ch33z | dr_willis ? | 06:41 |
| incognito | iyank4: anything? | 06:41 |
| dRounse | does anyone have a minecraft server? | 06:41 |
| nerdzz | tq sir | 06:41 |
| Blue1 | so you have a geforce card - you might want to use the nvidia driver. | 06:41 |
| blub0x | My first install completed. I opened network tools and the device tab. The white box showing network adapters is too thin to see anything | 06:42 |
| dRounse | Blue1 i am | 06:42 |
| mmTrent | Blue1, It's a onboard SiS card. | 06:42 |
| sunshine | @cfhowlett ya but no ubuntu now | 06:42 |
| blub0x | resizing doesn't fix the white box only the window size | 06:42 |
| cfhowlett | sunshine what version of ubuntu? | 06:42 |
| sunshine | cfhowlett 11.10 | 06:42 |
| ch33z | dr_willis hello can you help me please?! :) | 06:42 |
| poyntz | WoC Blue1 ~ thanks i'll give the windows program a shot | 06:42 |
| poyntz | on wine | 06:42 |
| poyntz | ciao all | 06:42 |
| dRounse | ill be back im going to setup my server | 06:43 |
| incognito | WoC: would you be able to assist me with my audio problem? | 06:43 |
| cfhowlett | sunshine is this a wubi installation? | 06:43 |
| Blue1 | dRounse: but that doesn't sound like the nivida driver is loaded. | 06:43 |
| ch33z | dr_willis hey do you know about websites and setting them up? | 06:43 |
| Ben64 | !details | ch33z | 06:43 |
| ubottu | ch33z: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 06:43 |
| dRounse | Blue1 ill be back im goin to setup the server | 06:43 |
| === wiky is now known as Rchard_Stallman | ||
| ch33z | ah, alright | 06:43 |
| === Rchard_Stallman is now known as Wiky | ||
| Blue1 | dRounse: if you do system/administration/additional drivers it should offer you the opportunity to install the nividia driver | 06:44 |
| sunshine | cfhowlett no the usual ubuntu installation | 06:44 |
| cfhowlett | sunshine confirming a dual boot? | 06:44 |
| orated | Hello! I often see line like - 'iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Aggregation not enabled for tid 0 because load = 1' repeating in vt during which the wireless disconnects and then connects back. dmesg | tail - http://paste.ubuntu.com/846902/ . What exactly is causing disconnection and how can I fix it? Laptop uses - Intel Advanced-N6230 (2x2 agn + Bluetooth) whereas wireless router supports all b/g/n | 06:44 |
| blub0x | Can anyone provide help. I opened network tools and the device tab. The white box showing network adapters is too thin to see anything | 06:44 |
| ch33z | for example I am running Ubunut 11.10 Server and when I try to do the Name Resolution it gives me command not found when adding this "sudo /etc/resolv.conf. " | 06:44 |
| zykotick9 | ch33z: "sudo nano /etc/resolve.conf" | 06:45 |
| ch33z | I am trying to add numerous websites to the webs server | 06:45 |
| ch33z | ah | 06:45 |
| ch33z | i go there | 06:45 |
| ch33z | its blank.. | 06:45 |
| FloodBot1 | ch33z: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:45 |
| ch33z | got* | 06:45 |
| Ben64 | ch33z: what specifically are you trying to do | 06:45 |
| zykotick9 | ch33z: sorry typo resolv.conf | 06:45 |
| ch33z | just adding a basic website or websites | 06:45 |
| ch33z | basic html | 06:45 |
| Ben64 | html isn't in resolv.conf | 06:46 |
| ch33z | i have 2 basic html sites i want to upload | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | that has nothing to do with resolv.conf | 06:46 |
| Blue1 | indeed | 06:46 |
| ch33z | but, in order to get those sites done, I suppose I need to get DNS, Apache, and SSH set up correct? | 06:46 |
| blub0x | Can anyone provide help. I opened network tools and the device tab. The white box showing network adapters is too thin to see anything. | 06:46 |
| cfhowlett | sunshine ? confirm this is a dual boot? | 06:46 |
| Blue1 | you might want to use ftp | 06:46 |
| chris__ | my problem was that my script was not working | 06:46 |
| ch33z | yes, Blue1 what do i type in the ftp client though? | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | apache yes, ssh is really really handy, and dns isn't necessary at all | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | ch33z: the ip address or the hostname of the server | 06:47 |
| ch33z | ah | 06:47 |
| Blue1 | ch33z: well you need to know the name of the ftp server, and then a userid/password as a mininum | 06:47 |
| ch33z | Ben64 so "server name, user name, and password? | 06:47 |
| Blue1 | ch33z: yes, what client ru using? | 06:48 |
| ch33z | Forklift | 06:48 |
| ch33z | and transmit either are fine. | 06:48 |
| Ben64 | sftp is usually easier to get set up | 06:48 |
| blub0x | Bueler, Bueler, anyone, anyone. I opened network tools and the device tab. The white box showing network adapters is too thin to see anything | 06:48 |
| Blue1 | ch33z: not one I am fam. with. but you need those regardless of the client. | 06:48 |
| ch33z | alright well is SFTP already set up on ubuntu server by default? | 06:49 |
| Ben64 | if you have ssh running | 06:49 |
| ch33z | i believe i do | 06:49 |
| chris__ | http://pastebin.com/Vc452kC9 | 06:49 |
| Ben64 | chris__: nmap -sP 1.1.1.1-100 | 06:50 |
| Blue1 | ch33z: what is it your are trying to do? | 06:50 |
| ch33z | just upload basic html files | 06:50 |
| ch33z | thats it | 06:50 |
| ch33z | nothing crazy | 06:50 |
| ch33z | i would like to host 2 sites I have 9 static ips but, if I can get up one site for now that would be great. | 06:51 |
| Ben64 | just get a scp or sftp client and go for it | 06:51 |
| Blue1 | ch33z: any ftp client will sork | 06:51 |
| blub0x | Can anyone provide help. I opened network tools and the device tab. The white box showing network adapters is too thin to see anything | 06:51 |
| chris__ | Thats awesome, so much faster | 06:51 |
| bazhang | blub0x, please dont repeat every minute | 06:51 |
| ch33z | also when I start SSH on the server it says this " could not load host key rs, dsa, and ecdsa" | 06:51 |
| Blue1 | ch33z: well you need to have the apache server installed for that -- and most isp's block incoming http (port 80) requests. | 06:52 |
| blub0x | So what should i do then | 06:52 |
| tuxcanfly | Hi all, I'm on Kubuntu 11.10, kernel 3.0.0-16-generic, bcm4313 chipset, wl drivers | 06:52 |
| ch33z | i have a business class internet class so they dont block any ports | 06:52 |
| ch33z | and apache2 is installed | 06:52 |
| tuxcanfly | and I'm trying to change the default IP assigned by network manager on a share connection | 06:52 |
| bazhang | blub0x, be patient. try askubuntu.com while you wait, repeat in 10-15 minutes or so | 06:52 |
| Blue1 | ch33z: iirc the default location is /var/www | 06:52 |
| tuxcanfly | the default is 10.42.43.1 and I want to change the IP to 169.x | 06:53 |
| tuxcanfly | would that be possible? | 06:53 |
| Ben64 | but if you want more than one site on it, shouldn't use /var/www | 06:53 |
| Blue1 | Ben64 correct | 06:53 |
| ch33z | o Blue1 | 06:53 |
| ch33z | which do I use then? | 06:53 |
| zyracksis | So I turned on my machine today, all my desktop icons were blank and my top menu bar was white. I made sure I had the right drivers and tried to change the theme, but no luck | 06:53 |
| Ben64 | which is where apache configs and vhosts come in | 06:53 |
| zyracksis | Screenshot here http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/6158/screenshotat20120218175.png | 06:53 |
| chris__ | you could probally do this in a split second, how would I take the ips and turn them in an array | 06:54 |
| Blue1 | i haven't done apache in ages -- I do all my web hosting thru godaddy - far far easier | 06:54 |
| ch33z | "apache2: could not reliabily determine the servers fully quallified domain name using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName" | 06:54 |
| Ben64 | i have two servers running apache | 06:54 |
| Blue1 | makes sense | 06:54 |
| ch33z | Ben64, any ideas? | 06:55 |
| Ben64 | ch33z: read up on apache vhosts and configs | 06:55 |
| zyracksis | Can anyone help? | 06:55 |
| ch33z | kk | 06:55 |
| ch33z | hmm i will come back and ask if i am still stuck | 06:55 |
| Blue1 | zyracksis: what version of ubuntu? | 06:55 |
| zyracksis | 11.10 | 06:55 |
| Blue1 | zyracksis: gnome, unity, or? | 06:55 |
| zyracksis | Unity | 06:56 |
| Blue1 | zyracksis: not sure how to fix that in unity, but in gnome, piece of cake. | 06:56 |
| hartley | is there an event viewer type program i can use? got my crystalhd card finally running, but im getting system freezes with some hd flash videos. | 06:57 |
| ch33z | Ben64 where are the vhosts apache and configs area on the guide? thanks | 06:57 |
| zyracksis | I might have to switch to gnome if I can't fix this | 06:57 |
| Ben64 | ch33z: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ | 06:57 |

| incognito | I upgraded from 9.10 lol | 07:01 |
| Blue1 | hartley: usually you can tail the last x number of lines, and pipe that into more | 07:01 |
| incognito | it says something about fresh install, don't upgrade? ;x | 07:01 |
| Blue1 | hartley: something like: sudo tail -150 /var/log/vsftpd.log | more | 07:02 |
| urfr332g0 | incognito, your thread says your running 9.10 are you? | 07:02 |
| Blue1 | or some number bigger then 150 | 07:02 |
| hartley | no such file | 07:02 |

| incognito | when i load a game called runescape into my firefox/chrome, it stops the audio of my rhythmbox | 07:04 |

| Blue1 | really | 07:04 |
| ZorroT | anybody got a pointer to how to configure language foo to be handled by apache2 in current ubuntu? | 07:04 |
| ZorroT | <- sucks at apache | 07:04 |
| incognito | Would anyone be able to help? | 07:05 |
| Blue1 | hartley: tested here works find | 07:05 |
| Blue1 | hartley: i find it out that you would have no /var/log/messages | 07:05 |
| ZorroT | incognito: do other flash / browser media apps cause this behavior? | 07:06 |
| ZorroT | eg, youtube | 07:06 |
| hartley | yeah, im in the var/log/ now. no messages | 07:06 |
| Blue1 | hartley: so if you do a ls there is no messages file? | 07:06 |
| m-16 | олень | 07:06 |
| hartley | Blue1 but i do have previous dmesg files. Nope, no messages file | 07:07 |

| incognito | zorrot, i haven't tried. should i download another music player? | 07:07 |
| hartley | dmesg.0 dmesg.1.gz etc etc | 07:07 |
| ZorroT | incognito: go to youtube and see if you have the same problem | 07:07 |
| incognito | well, when i play this game, my youtube doesn't stream audio either | 07:07 |
| incognito | ok one sec | 07:07 |
| chris__ | nevermind, I made a stupid mistake | 07:07 |
| Blue1 | zyracksis: try rm -r .gconf* then logout/back in | 07:07 |
| dipix | incognito, in terminal type the following: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove | 07:08 |
| hartley | Blue1 thanks though. the log folder is good enough. i can scroll through the previous dmesg and lxdm logs and look for errors. | 07:08 |
| Blue1 | hartley: humour me -- do a cat /etc/issue | 07:08 |
| incognito | zonum: no audio on youtube either | 07:08 |
| zyracksis | Blue1: No change | 07:09 |
| incognito | zorrot* | 07:09 |
| hartley | Blue1 Ubuntu 11.10 \n \l | 07:09 |
| ZorroT | incognito: | 07:09 |
| ZorroT | so you're getting no audio in the browser? | 07:09 |
| Blue1 | hartley: okay they must have changed something in 110.10 I don't know about.... | 07:09 |
| incognito | i have audio for my game, no audio for youtube | 07:09 |
| incognito | and its in the same browser | 07:09 |
| ZorroT | is the volume turned up in the youtube player? | 07:09 |
| incognito | yes | 07:09 |
| incognito | lol | 07:09 |
| Blue1 | zyracksis: okay try restarting the gdm | 07:09 |
| ZorroT | ok, just checking :-) | 07:09 |
| Blue1 | zyracksis: sudo service gdm restart | 07:10 |

| incognito | dipix: ran those commands | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | w3e got more silly on join spam by - acceptance | 07:10 |
| hartley | Blue1 its ok. thanks anyways. like i said, ill just go through the logs that are here and look for info. | 07:10 |
| dipix | Incognito, did it work? | 07:10 |
| ZorroT | incognito: doing a little research to see what i can find: you've tried browsers other than firefox, eg, chrome? | 07:10 |
| incognito | only 1 package had to be upgraded xulrunner | 07:11 |
| ZorroT | was it working before the upgrade? | 07:11 |
| brightspark | mattyf, alias? | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | mattyf: make a script. or alias | 07:11 |
| incognito | no i havent zorrot, just firefox, and then i went to chrome | 07:11 |
| Blue1 | hartley: okay. I have never seen a *nix system w/o /var/log/messages | 07:11 |
| zyracksis | Blue1: "gdm: unrecognised service" | 07:11 |
| ZorroT | so it did not work in chrome or firefox. | 07:11 |
| ZorroT | ok | 07:11 |
| mattyf | sorry, am new to linux, will search for alias now - thanks! | 07:11 |
| incognito | and i didnt try before the upgrade, i just knew 9.10 was outdated so i had to update | 07:11 |
| Blue1 | zyracksis: what version of ubuntu? | 07:11 |
| ZorroT | but it rhythmbox is working? | 07:11 |
| zyracksis | Blue1: 11.10 | 07:11 |
| incognito | when i dont have any browsers up, yes rhythmbox plays music fine | 07:11 |
| petroid | Неподскажите чем отлечается дестрибутив убунту 11.10 от 12.04? | 07:12 |
| ZorroT | ok, so you've done like a big dist upgrade | 07:12 |
| ZorroT | ok | 07:12 |
| ZorroT | i saw something about your problem for ubuntu 9.1 | 07:12 |
| incognito | yes, from 9.10 to 10.04 lts | 07:12 |

| ZorroT | and sometimes those can be trickier than they look :-) | 07:13 |
| ZorroT | mattyf: rockin' node? | 07:13 |
| incognito | zorrot: my exact problem lol | 07:13 |
| cfhowlett | bazhang what you see that tells you ru - all I see is zapgat salad... | 07:13 |
| ZorroT | mattfy: for a good time, call couchdb :-) | 07:13 |
| zyracksis | Blue1: Just tried lightdm, no luck there either | 07:14 |
| Blue1 | zyracksis: so you willneed to restart that -- sudo service lightdm restart -- you should have to relogin, and that should re-create the files. | 07:14 |
| mattyf | thanks brightspark! yeah ZorroT - learning nodejs, expressjs, jade (haml) and sass today | 07:14 |

| Blue1 | zyracksis: you can try gdm3 but I am 99% sure thats debian | 07:14 |
| incognito | ZorroT: one second, i'm going to have a look at it. | 07:14 |
| cfhowlett | bazhang ah. | 07:14 |
| petroid | Do not tell me what 11.10 to 12.04? | 07:14 |
| ZorroT | mattyf: couchdb uses json objects over http as the interface. so you can bump straight from node and get native answers -- no futzing with interpreting database-ese. | 07:14 |
| zyracksis | Blue1: LightDM restarted, but it didnt fix the problem | 07:15 |
| bazhang | petroid, I gave you a link on how to upgrade | 07:15 |

| dipix | Incognito, can you check if you have these two: sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-jre | 07:20 |
| brightspark | chris, in awk, you can set your field separator to <space> and print the second field in each line. that would strip it just down to the address | 07:20 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: ok great lemme take a look | 07:20 |
| brightspark | chris__, ^^ | 07:20 |
| chris__ | yes | 07:20 |

| chris__ | what is $2? | 07:24 |
| brightspark | chris__, the second field. awk treats spaces as separators by default. | 07:25 |
| chris__ | that makes more sense | 07:25 |
| === ksinkar__ is now known as ksinkar | ||

| chris__ | yep | 07:26 |
| brightspark | chris__, I've never touched php. If you're embedding it in a string, most languages require you to escape it | 07:27 |
| chris__ | I was doing $computerstatus = shell_exec('nmap -sP 1.1.1.2-100 | grep Host | awk {print $2}'); | 07:27 |
| chris__ | in php a $ means a variable | 07:27 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: tnx i found it here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 07:28 |
| brightspark | chris__, In many situations, you can just put a backslash in front of the $ and it will work | 07:29 |
| chris__ | okay it wasnt the $ it was actually the ' | 07:30 |
| brightspark | chris__, you will also need to precede the space after "print" with a backslash as you removed my quotes | 07:30 |
| chris__ | its fixed now | 07:30 |
| brightspark | yup you got it | 07:30 |
| chris__ | its $computerstatus = shell_exec('nmap -sP 1.1.1.2-100 | grep Host | awk \'{print $2}\''); | 07:30 |

| chris__ | Im sure you could have done it in 5 minutes, but it took me an entire month to do | 07:33 |

| adminewb | that would be the fallback | 07:39 |
| brightspark | zyracksis, did you change your theme recently? | 07:40 |
| adminewb | the disadvantage being, torrents don't operate on the principle of sending what you haven't already got (incremental change) | 07:40 |
| zyracksis | brightspark: I changed my background, but not my theme | 07:40 |
| adminewb | oh well | 07:41 |
| brightspark | zyracksis, it looks like you selected a theme in a temporary folder or removable media. does the problem still happen with xfce? | 07:41 |
| brightspark | if you have that resource available | 07:41 |
| zyracksis | brightspark: Haven't tried xfce, I'll give it a shot | 07:42 |
| brightspark | or see if the theme is indeed at fault first | 07:42 |

| dr_willis | svrnmnd: we really cant support ubuntu variants | 08:16 |
| svrnmnd | ok so I am using a variant of ubuntu 10.04 NodeZero which is a pentesting distro. the 2 problems I am experiencing is I can not get the login screen to sync my ubuntu one folder, also when I add a torrent on transmission I get ERROR:Permission denied, I tried to change the download folder but still same problem | 08:16 |
| svrnmnd | its 10.04 exactly just with pentesting tools cooked in | 08:16 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: not supported here | 08:17 |
| dr_willis | no idea what pentesting means | 08:17 |
| svrnmnd | just pretend its 10.04? | 08:17 |
| svrnmnd | penetration testing | 08:17 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: not supported here | 08:17 |
| Abhijit | svrnmnd, technically we cant pretend | 08:17 |
| dr_willis | if its a live cd. its using some premade user. | 08:18 |
| svrnmnd | okay so Im running ubuntu 10.04 and im having some permission problems | 08:18 |
| svrnmnd | dr_willis: I installed it | 08:18 |
| Abhijit | svrnmnd, but we know you dont! :-p please use nodesero irc, forum or mailing list for (sure) and better support | 08:19 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: its not supported here | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | check your file/dir permissions. is about all i can suggest. | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | linux basics. ;) | 08:19 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: we dont know the differences, someone said its with a special user, we dont know anything about that user and the permissions of that user | 08:19 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: and because you are using this special user, we can not and will not support it here, please ask there channel | 08:20 |
| svrnmnd | dr_willis : how would I do this? i did it by right clicking and going to properties, but I was unable to change the settings of /home folder doing that | 08:20 |
| llutz | dr_willis: since when do 1337 pentesterd need basic knowledge? | 08:20 |
| dr_willis | svrnmnd: used home dir. not /home/ | 08:20 |
| borillion | I have a NAS that I have ssh'ed into, fdisk shows that the drives inside are formatted as ext3, but when I try and mount an external ext3 drive it says 'mount /dev/sdc1 pn /mnt/tempmnt failed: invalid argument | 08:20 |
| dr_willis | users home.. not /home | 08:20 |
| svrnmnd | llutz: am in no way 1337 | 08:20 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: /home/username never!! change something in /home directly | 08:20 |
| Emmanuel_Chanel | Hello! I cannot make an IMAP folder on evolution. How can I? | 08:21 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: and /home/username should have write-permissions for the current user you are logged in | 08:21 |
| dr_willis | borillion: what mount command are you using | 08:21 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: if not, ask the channel of your distro | 08:21 |
| iceroot | borillion: pn? | 08:22 |
| borillion | dr_willis, mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tempmnt -o ro | 08:22 |
| Marty1 | Question: how can I preserve file-timestamps whilst copying to a Windows 7 share (cifs mount)? cp -a or cp --preserve=timestamps does only work on empty files and directories? | 08:22 |
| svrnmnd | anyone have the terminal command to change the permissions also @iceroot: where can I find my distro's channel...im pretty sure it was made in czetch rep. | 08:22 |
| iceroot | !alis | svrnmnd | 08:22 |
| ubottu | svrnmnd: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 08:22 |
| borillion | iceroot, whats pn ? | 08:23 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: chmod will change the permissions, chown to change the owner | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | borillion: whats the exact error? | 08:23 |

| iceroot | borillion: /dev/sdc1 pn /mnt/tempmnt failed: invalid argument | 08:23 |
| apt-getter | I tried it, but it doesn't work. I have accelerometre data where I want to create 3 files, one for x, one for y, one for z, and this is what my code is: http://pastebin.com/yqt33Pvx Basically it reads all the data the accelerometre reads using cat, and appends a new value every 0.5 os a second. Help is appreciated. Ty. | 08:23 |
| iceroot | borillion: where does that "pn" came from | 08:23 |
| borillion | oh pn was typo | 08:23 |
| thegladiator | !iso | 08:23 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 08:23 |
| borillion | lol | 08:23 |
| borillion | I didnt even see that | 08:23 |
| dr_willis | and make sure the mount point exists. ;) | 08:24 |

| svrnmnd | Iceroot: my home folder is my exact username ... what command do I need to change the permissions to RW? | 08:25 |
| Abhijit | Marty1, ask | 08:25 |
| borillion | iceroot, I try to do that but, its on a isolated network | 08:25 |
| iceroot | !permissions | svrnmnd | 08:25 |
| ubottu | svrnmnd: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 08:25 |
| iceroot | borillion: ah ok | 08:25 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: chmod o+w filename for example | 08:25 |
| borillion | dr_willis, I was under the impression that modifiers can be placed in any location on the command line, it usually works and was told you could do that | 08:26 |
| Marty1 | Question: how can I preserve file-timestamps whilst copying to a Windows 7 share (cifs mount)? cp -a or cp --preserve=timestamps does only work on empty files and directories? | 08:26 |
| dr_willis | borillion: try without it.. and see | 08:26 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: please ask your distro channel, something seems to be wrong, the owner of a real ubuntu system always have write access to its home-dir | 08:26 |
| Abhijit | Marty1, cpio? | 08:27 |
| svrnmnd | iceroot: I have write access, no problem creating new docs or saving things. I just think its a small discrep. could you give me a terminal command to make my home folder RW? | 08:27 |
| Abhijit | maybe | 08:27 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: sudo chmod -R o+w ~ | 08:28 |
| Zizzu | is there a way to check the integrity of bios? like how could i check if i have a virus in the bios?? | 08:28 |
| svrnmnd | iceroot: thanks | 08:28 |
| iceroot | Zizzu: you can not have a virus in the bios | 08:28 |
| dr_willis | havent seen a bios virus rumor in ages | 08:28 |
| theadmin | Zizzu: That makes no sense you know, bios is not something that can be infected by malware | 08:28 |
| Marty1 | (Looking it up right now. cp should work, but doesn't for non-empty files.) | 08:29 |
| dusf | last time i was offered to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 i selected 'ask me later' - how do i force the upgrade now? when i go into update manager and check and upgrade packages i am not offered a system upgrade | 08:29 |
| Zizzu | i have something like a virus in my hardware, dont know what it is... | 08:29 |
| theadmin | dusf: sudo do-release-upgrade | 08:29 |
| dusf | Zizzu: no viruses on linux | 08:29 |
| dusf | theadmin: thanks | 08:29 |
| iceroot | Zizzu: ##hardware | 08:29 |
| apt-getter | Google bios virus. There will be results. | 08:29 |
| Zizzu | ok | 08:29 |
| iceroot | Zizzu: and no, you dont have a virus in your hardware | 08:29 |
| dr_willis | Zizzu: i would find that unlikely. more likely broken hardware | 08:30 |
| iceroot | apt-getter: google "schalke deutscher meister" will also give results, but it is impossible | 08:30 |
| Zizzu | for virus i dont mean a process but something like a machine code :| | 08:30 |
| iceroot | !ot | Zizzu | 08:30 |
| dusf | Zizzu: they may be trying to steal your megahurtz! | 08:30 |
| ubottu | Zizzu: #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! | 08:30 |
| Abhijit | Zizzu, also try ##hardware | 08:30 |
| borillion__ | dr_willis, mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tempmnt | 08:30 |
| borillion__ | mount: mounting /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/tempmnt failed: Invalid argument | 08:30 |
| svrnmnd | dr_willis: when I was in 8th grade I was part of a "hacking group" they could program I could make webpages lol anyways the guy I went to school with was designing a virus that would run off the bios clock battery so it would destroy your computer even if it was off...I always thought it was bullshit but I stopped associating myself with them when they announced they were going to release this virus......was it complete bs | 08:30 |
| svrnmnd | ? | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | borillion__: could be it dosent support ext3? | 08:31 |
| theadmin | Zizzu: What are the symptoms anyway? | 08:31 |
| apt-getter | Bios can have a virus!!! | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | borillion__: try without the -t ext3 | 08:31 |
| borillion__ | 83 isn't ext3? | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | let it auto decide | 08:31 |
| borillion__ | no it doesn't work lol | 08:31 |
| borillion__ | this is annoying :P | 08:31 |
| apt-getter | http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4809843_removing-bios-virus.html Proof enough? | 08:32 |
| theadmin | borillion__: Do /dev/sdc1 and /mnt/tempmnt exist? | 08:32 |
| borillion__ | theadmin, yes they do | 08:32 |
| svrnmnd | ICEROOT: your shit worked perfecT!!!! | 08:32 |
| svrnmnd | ICEROOT: it was a permission problem | 08:33 |
| svrnmnd | iceroot: do i have to do this everytime? or is it all good now??? | 08:33 |
| theadmin | borillion__: Hm meh... Try this: sudo mount -v /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tempmnt # Would help you identify the problem at least | 08:33 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: everything good and please use the channel of your distro | 08:33 |
| apt-getter | I have accelerometre data where I want to create 3 files, one for x, one for y, one for z, and this is what my code is: http://pastebin.com/yqt33Pvx Basically it reads all the data the accelerometre reads using cat, and appends a new value every 0.5 os a second. Help is appreciated. Ty. | 08:34 |
| iceroot | svrnmnd: if you want support here, use ubuntu | 08:34 |
| borillion__ | theadmin: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tempmnt | 08:34 |
| borillion__ | mount: mounting /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/tempmnt failed: Invalid argument | 08:34 |
| Marty1 | Abhijit, can cpio do recursive copies of a file tree? (I'm rescuing user data). | 08:34 |
| borillion__ | :( | 08:34 |
| iceroot | apt-getter: no | 08:34 |
| theadmin | borillion__: Did you see what I wrote above? Try with -v | 08:34 |
| iceroot | apt-getter: can you give me a link how to infect the system, common bios viruses, how they work and so on? | 08:34 |
| apt-getter | OK. Wait... | 08:34 |
| borillion__ | theadmin, oops forgot to copy the right stuff heh | 08:35 |
| borillion__ | mount -v /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tempmnt | 08:35 |
| borillion__ | mount: mounting /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/tempmnt failed: Invalid argument | 08:35 |
| iceroot | apt-getter: and flashing the bios by hand with a custom firmware is not what i am talking aout | 08:35 |
| iceroot | apt-getter: and also how to bypass the checksum function from the bios | 08:35 |
| dr_willis | and how to infect others... | 08:35 |
| iceroot | apt-getter: imo all bios-updates are signed today | 08:35 |
| opalepatrick | does it make sense to leave a new external hard drive with fat32 for backing up non-system files? (all my personal created files) | 08:35 |
| apt-getter | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIH_%28computer_virus%29 | 08:35 |
| theadmin | borillion__: Bah... This error makes no sense... :( | 08:36 |
| borillion__ | theadmin, I know lol | 08:36 |
| theadmin | borillion__: I assume you *are* running this as root (with sudo) | 08:36 |
| iceroot | apt-getter: useless discussion | 08:36 |
| borillion__ | yea | 08:36 |
| dr_willis | opalepatrick: depends on the file sizes. i use ntfs | 08:36 |
| borillion__ | I am | 08:36 |
| apt-getter | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS#Virus_attacks | 08:36 |
| apt-getter | They DO exist... | 08:36 |
| theadmin | apt-getter: Still got *nothing* to do with Ubuntu | 08:37 |
| iceroot | apt-getter: that a infected firmware exists, no doubt, i am asking how to get them on the system | 08:37 |
| iceroot | apt-getter: like "how to bypass the signed chekc" how to bypass the checksum | 08:37 |
| opalepatrick | dr_willis, I can access ntfs from most operating systems - makes sense | 08:37 |
| K-Rich | I LOVE REBECCA JO SUTTON! I AM SAING IT TO ALL OF YOU. I AM A FLIRT. DEAL WITH IT.... THE QUESTION IS BECKY, CAN YOU? | 08:38 |
| iceroot | K-Rich: stop it please | 08:39 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, the virus stuff is off-topic. as per your accelerometer data, does your existing code successfully assemble the data into one file? | 08:39 |
| apt-getter | Yes, it does assemble it successfully. | 08:39 |
| apt-getter | Shall I post the output? | 08:40 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, so then instead of outputting it straight to a file, run it through some pipes to awk like I mentioned before. | 08:40 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, it's not critical that you do, but go ahead | 08:41 |
| apt-getter | yes, I tried it. but it didn't work. I can post the awk'd version of the code. | 08:41 |
| borillion__ | theadmin, mount -vvv shows /dev/md1 on /mnt/soho_storage type ext3 (rw,noatime,data=ordered) so its odd I cant mount an external ext3 lol | 08:41 |
| K-Rich | K-Rich, sorrt, i though that only went to Dal.net... xchat and /amsg are weird... my bad | 08:41 |
| iceroot | borillion__: md1? | 08:41 |
| iceroot | borillion__: you dont mount /dev/mdX | 08:41 |
| iceroot | borillion__: you mount /dev/mapper/foobar | 08:42 |
| iceroot | borillion__: md = raid | 08:42 |
| borillion__ | iceroot yes its a NAS its doing it automatically | 08:42 |
| apt-getter | http://www.pastebin.com/P44dV4WD | 08:42 |
| apt-getter | The awk'd version. | 08:42 |
| borillion__ | iceroot: mounting /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/tempmnt fails /dev/sdc1 is an ext3 formatted usb drive connected to NAS | 08:43 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, that's not going to work for columns 2 and 3. if you ditch everything from the first "&&" onwards, do you get the first file correctly? | 08:43 |

| theadmin | crackerjackz: k, run "sudo apt-get update" and try again | 09:02 |
| svrnmnd | I can't find Applications>Accessories>Passwords And Encryption its not in my main menue | 09:02 |
| bc81 | svrnmnd: check system>preferences or alt+f2 (or open terminal) and type seahorse | 09:02 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: still says the samething after running sudo apt-get update | 09:03 |
| svrnmnd | BC81: thanks man | 09:03 |
| bc81 | np | 09:03 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Ok, which Ubuntu version are you on? | 09:03 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: 11.04 lts | 09:03 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, you are using ordinary bash, right? nothing funny? | 09:03 |
| crackerjackz | 32 bit | 09:03 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: ...There's no 11.04 lts | 09:03 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: 10.04? | 09:03 |
| apt-getter | ordinary | 09:04 |
| apt-getter | yes | 09:04 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Give me the output of: lsb_release -sc | 09:04 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, http://www.pastebin.com/gsRxFRJv | 09:04 |
| brightspark | that worked on the static file. | 09:04 |
| brightspark | ought to work on your problem | 09:05 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: onoric | 09:05 |
| apt-getter | accel1 is x, accel2 is y, and accel3 is z? | 09:05 |
| crackerjackz | oneirc* | 09:05 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: You're typing things wrong then -- pastebinit is in the repos | 09:05 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, yes. | 09:05 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: apt-cache search pastebinit returns no results | 09:06 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, assuming the coordinates it gives are in the order (x,y,z) | 09:06 |
| theadmin | !info pastebinit oneiric | crackerjackz | 09:06 |
| ubottu | crackerjackz: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-2 (oneiric), package size 30 kB, installed size 480 kB | 09:06 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: See, we haz | 09:07 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: i think the reason its not showing up is because im on the live cd? | 09:07 |
| meganerd | theadmin: did he apt-get update first? | 09:07 |
| crackerjackz | meganerd: yes | 09:07 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: That wouldn't make much sense, unless... Do you have the universe repo enabled? | 09:07 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, can you confirm or disconfirm that your accelerometer data is ending up where you want it? | 09:07 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: hmmm how do i check to see if the universe repo is enabled? | 09:07 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep universe | grep -i '^#' | 09:08 |
| apt-getter | Thank you, brightspark! You halped me really much! It works perfectly! God bless you. | 09:08 |
| apt-getter | Bye! | 09:09 |
| brightspark | apt-getter, glad to help. Goodnight | 09:09 |
| apt-getter | I am in Germany, it's morning 'lol' | 09:10 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: it returns no output... what does that mean? | 09:11 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Means you don't have it enabled | 09:11 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: does it need to be enabled for me to install pastebinit? | 09:11 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Yeah, or else... Well, let's figure out a way without pbi because it's annoying to handle repos via cli if you don't know how to lol | 09:11 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: well if i can direct the output to a text file then i could scp it to my webserver or something | 09:12 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: wget http://wgetpaste.zlin.dk/wgetpaste-1 -O wgp && chmod +x wgp && sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold | ./wgp | 09:12 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Or you can direct the output to a text file indeed: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold | tee textfile | 09:13 |
| Ben64 | theadmin: http://sprunge.us/ | 09:13 |
| theadmin | Ben64: Or that, yeah :D | 09:14 |

| playit | Hey I have a list of things and need to make a layout of the pros and cons of each visually in an easy to see manner.. | 09:17 |
| shadowh511 | playit: use Libreoffice Presentation or a document with a table | 09:17 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: its not letting direct the output to the text file.. i tried sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold | errormesg i also tried sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold >>errormesg.txt | 09:18 |
| shadowh511 | have the bullets be X-marks and checkmarks | 09:18 |
| playit | I was using VYM to make a map of different choices they could make and it was looking alright but when i went to export it to html it was way too wide | 09:18 |
| playit | thats a good idea shadow511 im good with those just was looking for a more robust solution | 09:19 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Are you in a sane directory? That is, do you have permissions to write the the current directory? | 09:19 |
| shadowh511 | playit: I'm sorry I can't help you further, I've never run into a need for something like that before ^^;; | 09:19 |
| playit | or the quickest way to through together something professional .. I liked how in VYM I could have pictures that my clients can click and it takes them to web references etc.. | 09:19 |
| playit | thanks for the help | 09:20 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: yup its just the home directory | 09:20 |
| playit | ill look into what you mentioned as well | 09:20 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Weird... | 09:20 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Ah, actually, NOT weird | 09:20 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: btw i tried the wget paste thing and it complained about the -0 (it didn | 09:21 |
| crackerjackz | work | 09:21 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/nixold 2>&1 | tee file | 09:21 |
| shadowh511 | playit: kay, glad to help ^_^ Mindmapping might be better anyway. Have you looked into UML? it's for code, but it could be fedangled to make the diagrams you want | 09:21 |
| playit | no I haven't I'll check into it | 09:21 |
| playit | vym seemed kind of clunky to me | 09:22 |
| playit | the HTML output wasn't what I was expecting .. Not sure how they got standard widths and it was hard to layout as well | 09:22 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: okay that time it worked but it only directed the output of the last line it didn't show the whole error message | 09:23 |
| barnex | Hello. I can't kill process on 11.10 and consider reporting a bug. Can someone tell me what should I include in this report to make it useful? | 09:23 |
| shadowh511 | playit: yeah, some of the fringe cases in FOSS don't get worked out the cleanest, it's a know issue | 09:23 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Huh. Now that's weird. | 09:23 |
| shadowh511 | barnex: what process? | 09:23 |
| barnex | compiz | 09:23 |
| theadmin | barnex: Run: ubuntu-bug compiz | 09:23 |
| theadmin | barnex: It will include most info you'll need, you'll only have to describe what happens | 09:23 |
| barnex | Don't I need some info about kernel? It seems to be the kernel problem. | 09:24 |
| playit | thanks for the uml selection.. I would of never knew how to google for that | 09:24 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: basically it says can't find ext2 file system on sda3 can't find ext4 file system on sda3.. bogus number or reserved sectors. you must specify the file system type | 09:24 |
| playit | thats precisely the kind of solutions im looking for | 09:24 |
| barnex | Top says that compiz is in 'R' state | 09:24 |
| barnex | and it just ignores kill -9 | 09:24 |
| crackerjackz | (when ever i try to mount it that is) | 09:24 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Try doing that. | 09:24 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: What FS is on it? | 09:24 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: i'm not sure it was so long ago... i installed linux using wubi though | 09:25 |
| playit | do you or anyone else know of any other solutions? Im going to further research UML I just want to make sure theres not an easier direction to take | 09:25 |
| playit | UML looks promising for what I want to do | 09:25 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Oh, but uh, then it'd be on your Windows partition in some file | 09:25 |
| bc81 | barnex: you might try switching window managers (metacity --replace, compiz --replace) just a suggestion | 09:25 |
| prashant_123456 | ssh client says access denied dont know why ? | 09:26 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: there is a seperate partition called linux with some wubi stuff in it.. but i don't see my files | 09:27 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: You need to mount the actual wubi drive, it's in a file called "root.disk" | 09:27 |
| anonymousinuk | hiya, can anyone help me with changing the default channel on my wlan0/ mon0 antenna? | 09:28 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: how do i search all mounted partitions for the file root.disk | 09:28 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: sudo find -type f -iname 'root.disk' | 09:28 |
| === digital is now known as Guest3560 | ||
| crackerjackz | theadmin: it returned no output | 09:29 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Well, then the partition isn't mounted | 09:29 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: i think it might work this time... i was in the home directory when i ran that command | 09:30 |
| crackerjackz | i cd'd to / and now its taking longer for the command to return something so im guessing its searching | 09:30 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Oh, pardon me: sudo find / -type f -iname 'root.disk' | 09:30 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Or yeah, cd to / | 09:30 |
| barnex | bc81: Hmm, that might work, but i have no idea how to do it - I currently have 2 guest sessions running compiz at 100%, and I'm not logged in neither of them. | 09:31 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: okay i found it.. it says /.media/Linux/ubuntu/disks/root.disk | 09:32 |
| barnex | I can su to those guest, but then when I try metacity --replace I get Window manager error: Unable to open X display :0 | 09:32 |
| OerHeks | anonymousinuk, change the default channel, in your Wifirouter. | 09:32 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Great, that's the one. Now: sudo mount -o loop /media/Linux/ubuntu/disks/root.disk /mnt/nixold | 09:32 |
| bc81 | barnex: how are you trying to kill compiz? | 09:32 |
| barnex | sudo kill -9 15384 | 09:33 |
| barnex | where 15384 is the pid | 09:33 |
| anonymousinuk | thnks, Oheks | 09:33 |
| bc81 | barnex: ok, how about killall compiz? | 09:33 |
| theadmin | barnex: But compiz may have multiple processes... "sudo pkill compiz" will work better | 09:33 |
| anonymousinuk | i just assumed it was the program controlling the channel ! | 09:34 |
| barnex | well, even if it does have multiple processes, shouldn | 09:34 |
| barnex | well, even if it does have multiple processes, shouldn't the 15384 be killed anyways? | 09:34 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: my files!!!! i love j00!!! | 09:34 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: lol, uh, thanks I guess :D | 09:34 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: thank you so much | 09:34 |
| barnex | pkill and killall haven't worked | 09:35 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: np, if you said you're using wubi in the first place you'd have saved me a lot of time :D | 09:35 |
| meganerd | barnex: have you tried restarting X? | 09:35 |
| barnex | I did sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart | 09:36 |
| barnex | I believe it restarts X server as well? | 09:36 |
| theadmin | barnex: Yeah it should | 09:36 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: actually i did mention wubi in the very first sentence i posted here | 09:37 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Ah guess I skipped it, sorry | 09:37 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: its all good you helped me plus even though we went through some crap tryin to figure it out you taught me a couple of things i didn't know so not only did you help me get my files but you taught me a couple of things that i didn't know | 09:38 |
| bc81 | barnex: or what about killall -9 compiz | 09:38 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: It's no problem | 09:38 |
| biggi_mat | You should charge him. | 09:39 |
| barnex | bc81: doesn't work. | 09:39 |
| crackerjackz | ^ actually i think some of you guys should make money answering peoples questions | 09:39 |
| crackerjackz | your knowledge is worth a lot | 09:39 |
| barnex | Well, It seems like the program isn't the problem - all of them return 0, so kernel seems to accept the signal | 09:39 |
| barnex | and something is wrong on the kernel part? | 09:40 |
| bc81 | barnex: the answer here says you can't kill compiz when the Launcher or Unity is running, maybe that's the problem? http://askubuntu.com/questions/47022/how-to-kill-unity-panel-unity-launcher | 09:41 |
| mint | ciao | 09:42 |
| MonkeyDust | list | 09:43 |
| barnex | bc81: hmm, I'm not sure what are the process names of Unity and Launcher, but "ps ax | grep -i unity" lists no processes | 09:43 |
| meganerd | barnex: assuming that you are using the default, have you tried shutting down X? /etc/init.d/lightdm stop | 09:44 |
| barnex | I don't really understand how ubuntu manages multiple users | 09:45 |
| barnex | meganerd: yes | 09:45 |
| barnex | it seems to do some deep magic, pausing all users program when I switch users? | 09:45 |
| hydrox24 | barnex: not sure about that, although I never use the switch user funstion. | 09:45 |
| barnex | I noticed that when I switch users while playing music, the music stops | 09:46 |
| theadmin | barnex: pulseaudio runs in a user-based manner, it won't play anything while you're not in the right user session | 09:46 |
| Ghrim | I have a usb microphone, how do I set it up? | 09:47 |
| === iqpi|off is now known as iqpi|on | ||
| tomodo | hi | 09:48 |
| hydrox24 | barnex: that wouldnt be pausing processes, just pulseaudio doing some muting. | 09:48 |
| tomodo | how do I turn off compiz? | 09:48 |
| warfaren | Ghrim: should be pretty straightforward. plugin it in and select it in the sound properties | 09:49 |
| warfaren | tomodo: at the login screen i think you can select gnome instead from a drop down menu | 09:49 |
| tomodo | oh, thank yo9u | 09:49 |
| warfaren | i dunno if they still have it in the latest release though | 09:50 |
| tomodo | the menu bar in a program (racket) is not showing up.. looks like this http://i.imgur.com/0ApdG.png | 09:50 |
| tomodo | any ideas how to fix it? | 09:50 |
| warfaren | oh wait, my mistake. you said compiz not unity tomodo | 09:50 |
| theadmin | tomodo: It's Unity's fault, trying to use globalmenu with your app and failing :/ | 09:51 |
| tomodo | I was able to turn off unity | 09:51 |
| warfaren | sorry im confused. that would be desktop effects i think | 09:51 |
| theadmin | tomodo: Remove "appmenu-gtk" and "appmenu-qt" if you have those | 09:51 |
| tomodo | how do I turn off globalmenu? | 09:51 |
| crackerjackz | theadmin: i know this is a little off topic for this channel but by chance would you happen to know where mysql databases get saved by default (like say you run one of those .php install scripts and it sets up the tables and all of that for you) im looking for the db for vxguestbook not sure where its at though | 09:51 |
| theadmin | crackerjackz: Nope no idea | 09:51 |
| tomodo | I am removing them with synaptic | 09:52 |
| tomodo | that didn't solve the problem | 09:52 |
| tomodo | maybe I need to log out and back in | 09:53 |
| tomodo | thanks for your help, I'll go see what happens | 09:53 |
| jaci | Jaci Poli | 09:54 |
| krish | guys, on oneiric, I dont get unity menus on vnc.. I get some file, edit menu on the top.. any solutions? | 09:56 |
| tomodo | thanks for the suggeswtion but when I removed the menubar programs it still has the same bug | 09:59 |
| sysco | Bonjour | 09:59 |
| sysco | est ce qu'une personne pourrais m'aider ? | 09:59 |
| tomodo | any other ideas I could try? | 09:59 |
| Spyros | sysco, in what? | 10:00 |
| floridsdorf | hi | 10:00 |
| sysco | je suis novice sur linux , je l'ai installer hier , etj'ai voulut voir les différents graphiques de bureau | 10:00 |
| sysco | la je suis bloquer sur le xfce , pas moyen de fermé ma session | 10:01 |
| Zizzu | is it possible that i am so unlucky that i found the only hacker in the world able to do a hardware virus and also he want to destroy me while i am noone?? | 10:01 |
| Spyros | sysco, Ctrl+Alt+Delete | 10:02 |
| theadmin | Zizzu: What are the symptoms anyway? What makes you think you're infected? | 10:02 |
| Spyros | sysco, do you have a panel? | 10:02 |
| sysco | Spyros non il ne veux pas | 10:02 |
| Zizzu | couse he have funny with me, ddos my adsl, crash my network card, change my ubuntu password | 10:03 |
| Zizzu | and all this after i format and flash bios | 10:03 |
| Spyros | sysco, tu n'ai pas le panel; | 10:03 |
| sysco | j'ai juste des icones sur le bureau c'est tous | 10:04 |

| Zizzu | and i am the only 1 which use this computer i am at home he root my computer no stupid friends or someone using my lan, he do this remotely | 10:04 |
| Spyros | sysco, Alt+F2 :: xfce4-panel | 10:05 |
| sysco | uboottu , désiole si il est pas noté au novice qui debute comment faire pour joindre un fr ! | 10:05 |
| sysco | merci de ton implication ;) | 10:05 |
| Zizzu | wtf i have inside computer? | 10:05 |
| mufflon | hello all | 10:05 |
| meganerd | crackerjackz: mysql tables et al live in /var/lib/mysql | 10:06 |
| Myrtti | Zizzu: have you ran rkhunter or similar? | 10:06 |
| Myrtti | Zizzu: also, mind your language :-) | 10:06 |
| Zizzu | i zero format the computer with dd, flash bios and he enter my computer again | 10:07 |
| Zizzu | i have something in the hardware | 10:07 |
| Ben64 | Zizzu: you're not getting hacked | 10:07 |
| Zizzu | i am | 10:07 |
| Zizzu | a lot | 10:07 |
| Ben64 | what evidence do you have to support that theory | 10:08 |
| Zizzu | the best evidence is he changed my admin password and modified grub, i cant login | 10:08 |
| Zizzu | then a 24h on 24 ddos on the adsl | 10:09 |
| Ben64 | ubuntu doesn't have a root password by default | 10:09 |
| zmp | whois zmp | 10:10 |
| Zizzu | what that mean, he just change the password, every time im on linux this guy enter it and block the system so i cant use it | 10:10 |
| Ben64 | check the logs then, it'd show if someone was accessing you | 10:10 |
| OerHeks | Zizzu, hard to believe, look in your room for camera's | 10:11 |
| tomodo | which logs? | 10:11 |
| ubuntu | theadmin: the live cd crashed on me.. can you paste to me that mount command again for my wubi disk | 10:11 |
| ubuntu | theadmin: its crackerjackz | 10:11 |
| Zizzu | yeah it could be my daddy... no this is a hacker group which have fun with me | 10:11 |
| theadmin | ubuntu: sudo mount -o /path/to/root.disk /path/to/mountpoint # Basically. | 10:11 |
| Ben64 | its not a hacker | 10:11 |
| ubuntu | theadmin: ty | 10:11 |
| hydrox24 | Zizzu: I doubt it... I would also suggest that you try limiting physical access (for others) to your machine accept for the network connection to try and root out the issue | 10:12 |
| Zizzu | i am the only one which use the computer it is my computer in my room in my home | 10:12 |
| Zizzu | i have something in the hardware which work like a signal | 10:13 |
| Zizzu | :( | 10:13 |
| OerHeks | Zizzu stop using wireless keyboard . | 10:13 |
| hydrox24 | Zizzu: and what, every time you use ubuntu the password get's changed? | 10:13 |
| Zizzu | happened 2 times | 10:13 |
| hydrox24 | Zizzu: Yes, are you using a BT keyboard? | 10:13 |
| Zizzu | no | 10:13 |
| Zizzu | usb | 10:14 |
| hydrox24 | Zizzu: and is you password long and secure? | 10:14 |
| sysco | merci spyro , j'ai reboot la machine car rien ne fonctionnais | 10:14 |
| hydrox24 | Zizzu: also, do you know if you have ssh installed and/or the openssh server running? | 10:14 |
| barnex | Zizzu: maybe it's something drive related? I imagine it's possible that every new ubuntu installation with the same partition table uses the same place on the hdd to store the password data | 10:14 |
| barnex | now if there's some problem with reliably accessing this sector | 10:14 |
| barnex | it may appear like your password changes? | 10:15 |
| barnex | longshot | 10:15 |
| barnex | but hardware virus isn't more probable :P | 10:15 |
| Zizzu | its not about the password only its about a group of hackers showing they can find me everywhere i connect and root my computer when they want | 10:15 |
| Ben64 | there are no hackers | 10:15 |
| Myrtti | Zizzu: it could be your keyboard that's broken. | 10:15 |
| OerHeks | Zizzu is it raining outside ? nice day to troll a channel. | 10:15 |
| Zizzu | there are, after the password changed i format again and put windows 7, i connect to a game a guy called me and say: NOW U PLAY HE GOOD | 10:16 |
| Zizzu | no troll here | 10:16 |
| Ben64 | sounds like troll, because what you are saying is impossible | 10:16 |
| Zizzu | i know | 10:17 |
| barnex | yes it really does sound like a troll | 10:17 |
| Zizzu | but I HAVE | 10:17 |
| Spyros | sysco, you can always hit :"Ctrl+Alt+F1", then login as sysco, then :"sudo -i" | 10:17 |
| MonkeyDust | Spyros that suggesting that command is a no-no here | 10:17 |
| Ben64 | Zizzu: pastebin /var/log/auth.log | 10:18 |
| Zizzu | i think it is something in the firmware or bios or all 2 | 10:18 |
| ubuntu | theadmin: ty | 10:18 |
| Spyros | what do you mean | 10:18 |
| Zizzu | im on windows 7 now cant use linux | 10:18 |
| barnex | Zizzu: well, don't take this as a personal attack, but if you really aren't trolling and you agree that it's probably impossible... | 10:18 |
| zamba | how can i check if my system is running on s-ata or ide? | 10:18 |
| orated | Is nomodeset option default in grub? | 10:18 |
| Ben64 | Zizzu: this is ubuntu support, not paranoid windows 7 support | 10:18 |
| theadmin | orated: Nope, why would it be? | 10:18 |
| barnex | Maybe it's not computer issue, but mental health one? | 10:18 |
| hydrox24 | Zizzu: I would suggest that you look into encrypting your HDD and/or look for suspicious vans hanging around outside your house if you are concerned about security | 10:18 |
| Spyros | MonkeyDust, what do you mean? | 10:19 |
| Ben64 | Spyros: sudo -i isn't recommended | 10:19 |
| Spyros | srry | 10:19 |
| theadmin | Ben64: How come? That's the recommended way to get the root shell | 10:19 |
| Ben64 | it can be dangerous if the user doesn't realize what it does | 10:19 |
| theadmin | Ben64: Well, if the user runs commands without realizing what they do... | 10:20 |

| barnex | the whole login/profile issue isn't really that obvious | 10:20 |
| barnex | I just recently learned it because i had to for ruby version manager | 10:21 |
| Zizzu | anyone know if the bios hash should be the same of the rom filw which i used to flash it after i restart the computer, or is it normal that it is different | 10:23 |
| hydrox24 | goobye all, have a good night (in Aus atleast) | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Zizzu: hi, this channel is for ubuntu support only, can you please keep to that topic | 10:24 |
| Bubo | Can anyone help me install gimp 2.7.4? compile and install? I asked on #gimp but nobody seems to be able to help me | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Bubo: why can you not use the version that is in the repo | 10:25 |
| Zizzu | i know this channel is about ubuntu but this virus is the best virus ever and ubuntu is not immune to this kind of virus u know | 10:25 |
| Bubo | Because of unmet dependencies.. people have been trying to help me (here in this channel) many times and nobody seems to be able to fix it | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Zizzu: unless your question is an ubuntu support question, please keep it out of this channel | 10:25 |
| barnex | Bubo: why compile? There seems to be ppa for it? | 10:25 |
| Bubo | the repo gives me 2.7.5 | 10:25 |
| iceroot | Zizzu: please stop it now, i told you an hour ago that it is offtopic | 10:25 |
| cloudgeek | ikonia: how find any thing using and then grep using anything from all search like i try this find / -name python | grep python | 10:26 |
| Bubo | i need 2.7.4 which is working | 10:26 |
| barnex | oh | 10:26 |
| Bubo | 2.7.5 still isnt wokring in ubuntu 11.10 | 10:26 |
| iceroot | Zizzu: go to ##hardware or something like that | 10:26 |
| iceroot | !work | Bubo | 10:26 |
| ubottu | Bubo: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 10:26 |
| Myrtti | Bubo: and why do you need it? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Bubo: unless you are using external repos / PPA's the version in the ubuntu repo will not complain of failed dependencies | 10:26 |
| Bubo | I said i have asked here for help many times, and few people tried to help me but i end up formatting | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Bubo: what version of ubuntu are you using | 10:27 |
| Bubo | ikonia 11.10 | 10:27 |
| Bubo | and yes it complains of failed dependencies | 10:27 |
| Bubo | a few dozen of them | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Bubo: do you have any 3rd party repos or PPA's ? | 10:27 |
| Bubo | its a new version of gimp, it came out few days/weeks ago | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Bubo: do you have any 3rd party repos or PPA's ? | 10:27 |
| Bubo | Yes | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Bubo: that will most likley be the cause of your problems | 10:27 |
| MonkeyDust | PPA's :( | 10:27 |
| barnex | http://alcides-mp.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/gimp-2.7.4-linux-amd64.7z - there seems to be binary for x64 versions, but installing binaries from untrusted sources isn't recommended | 10:27 |
| Bubo | when it was 2.7.4 in the repo, it installed fine (with the same PPA's) | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Bubo: they will be creating (most likley) the cause of your conflicts | 10:28 |
| ikonia | !info gimp | 10:28 |
| Bubo | now i have those same PPA's and gmip 2.7.5 isnt installing | 10:28 |
| ubottu | gimp (source: gimp): The GNU Image Manipulation Program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.11-2ubuntu4 (oneiric), package size 4644 kB, installed size 13456 kB | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Bubo: gimp 2.6 is the 11.10 version | 10:28 |
| Bubo | I searched on google, and some other people have been having the same problem with 2.7.5 | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | Bubo what is being said is: remove the PPA's to solve the problem(s) | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Bubo: please focus on what I'm saying | 10:28 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: that is not what is being said | 10:29 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: removing a PPA at this time will do nothing | 10:29 |
| cloudgeek | how we can use the find and grep command together | 10:29 |
| shadowh511 | ppa-purge? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | shadowh511: no | 10:29 |
| ikonia | Bubo: the version of gimp in ubuntu 11.10 is 2.6 - where are you getting 2.7 from ? | 10:29 |
| shadowh511 | ppa-purge should remove the broken dep'd gimp | 10:29 |
| orated | theadmin: Afaik setting "nomodeset" disables KMS which would end up giving VT's native resolution? I only wanted to confirm as I forgot the what original grub option was after recent changes. Could you link me to any article describing all the grub options? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | shadowh511: no, it won't | 10:29 |
| alkisg | Hi, could someone propose to me a light window manager with regular minimize, maximize and close buttons, that is NOT preinstalled in one of the [k|x|l|ed]ubuntu variants? | 10:29 |
| shadowh511 | ikonia: it does for me :P | 10:30 |
| MonkeyDust | alkisg jwm is very light | 10:30 |
| alkisg | Thank you MonkeyDust | 10:30 |

| ikonia | Bubo: please stop answering questions I'm not asking | 10:30 |

| Bubo | I cant use 2.6 because it doesnt allow me to open 2.7.x | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Bubo: please answer the questions I am asking | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Bubo: where did you get gimp 2.7 | 10:30 |
| Bubo | From gimp.org | 10:30 |
| alkisg | theadmin: I'd agree, but I want to run it inside Xephyr inside the same user session, so if the user runs lubuntu, I'm worrying about conflicts... | 10:30 |
| === CPhoenix_ is now known as CPhoenix | ||
| ikonia | Bubo: how did you install it ? from a deb package or by compiling it ? | 10:31 |
| Bubo | You add a repository | 10:31 |
| rcsheets | What's the correct way to change the PATH system-wide? Looks like /etc/login.defs but when I make changes there, I'm not seeing them reflected in new logins. | 10:31 |
| Bubo | and it gives you the latest unstable which is now 2.7.5 (doesnt work) | 10:31 |
| alkisg | Thank you shadowh511, I'll check that too | 10:31 |
| ikonia | Bubo: ok - to that repository will be downloading dependencies that are causing the conflict | 10:31 |
| Bubo | 2.7.4 worked and installed easily | 10:31 |
| shadowh511 | alkisg: no problem | 10:31 |
| theadmin | alkisg: I... kind of understand what you're talking about. Hm, okay then, fluxbox? | 10:31 |
| barnex | alkisg: what do you consider regular minimize/maximize and close? is this ok: http://bluetile.org/images/bluetile_screenshot2.png ? | 10:31 |
| meganerd | Bubo: well unstable is exactly that | 10:31 |
| === SpaceMonkey is now known as zehshi | ||
| Bubo | Yes but 2.7.4 didnt had any problems, but 2.7.5 does | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Bubo: if the package is causing conflicts you need to either a.) stop using the external repos b.) conact the owner of those repos and ask them to resolve them for you | 10:32 |
| alkisg | barnex: ...it's not very pretty but it does the work :) | 10:32 |
| Bubo | and they changed to 2.7.5 in the repository 2 weeks ago i think | 10:32 |
| meganerd | Bubo: yes, and the gimp PPA broke something | 10:32 |
| shadowh511 | Bubo: you installed unstable software, it eats children from time to time | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Bubo: we cannot fix external packages - contact the package maintainers | 10:32 |
| Bubo | ikonia | 10:32 |
| barnex | alkisg: well, that's bluetile - basically xmonad preconfigured to play nicely with gnome | 10:32 |
| Bubo | I downloaded 2.7.4 version and i asked if someone can help me compile it | 10:32 |
| meganerd | Bubo: that is the very nature of unstable, updates break things | 10:32 |
| Bubo | that version is working on ubuntu 11.10 without any problems | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Bubo: that is a terrible idea | 10:33 |
| barnex | I used it for a while and then moved to xmonad with my own config, it's really awesome. | 10:33 |
| meganerd | Bubo: not really on topic, and probably more effort than it is worth. | 10:33 |
| theadmin | Hm... I really should try xmonad too | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Bubo: I strongly advise you to talk to the gimp package maintainers and ask them for assitance, you will probably get reasonable help | 10:33 |
| orated | theadmin meganerd: I said it wrong.. those are linux options. Grub only helps them to pass | 10:34 |
| barnex | theadmin: yes you should :-). Editing haskell configs when you don't know first thing about haskell is painful though | 10:34 |
| theadmin | barnex: Ah... hm, then I'd rather stick to i3 where configs are a pretty obvious language :D | 10:34 |
| Bubo | Ok thank you | 10:34 |
| meganerd | orated: then the kernel source is probably where you want to look. There are a lot of options | 10:35 |
| orated | meganerd: Yes, searching. Thanks | 10:35 |
| barnex | theadmin: what language is that? | 10:35 |
| theadmin | barnex: Not sure really, but it's just understandable just from looking at the default config | 10:36 |
| barnex | oh ok, so it's more like a proper config, not a program? | 10:36 |
| barnex | I really like the idea of programming my config | 10:36 |
| barnex | so I can change the bindings depending on layout for instance | 10:36 |
| theadmin | barnex: Ah... Hm, say, do you know any wms which would use Perl and/or Ruby for configs? | 10:37 |
| barnex | or the desktop or the running apps | 10:37 |
| shadowh511 | awesome would be better then | 10:37 |
| shadowh511 | it uses a lua config file | 10:37 |
| meganerd | orated: there is a Documentation folder in the kernel source | 10:37 |
| barnex | theadmin: I used wmii few years ago, don't know if it's still maintained | 10:37 |
| theadmin | barnex: Think it is | 10:37 |
| barnex | it used ruby afair | 10:37 |
| theadmin | barnex: Not so sure though | 10:37 |

| Ben64 | yeah well, its close | 10:41 |
| Ben64 | nvidia drivers are binaries, they don't really vary | 10:41 |
| ikonia | Ben64: but hardware and compatability does | 10:42 |
| Name141 | What's more up to date, as in wont require more updates when it's installed, the LTS.something or the 11.10 ? | 10:42 |
| Pepp-elito | Ben64, I think it might be related to my hardware setup. I'm running a zotac nd-22, which has nvidia ION. I think this is both an nvida chip and an intel chip, but i'm not sure.. | 10:42 |
| Ben64 | seems more likely that its a flash issue | 10:42 |

| Supreme | Approximately how long does it take to download 11.10? | 11:07 |
| oCean | Supreme: depends on your connection | 11:08 |
| meganerd | Supreme: how fast is your internet connection? | 11:08 |
| meisth0th | hello | 11:08 |
| Supreme | It normal. Not very fast. | 11:08 |
| oCean | Supreme: I do it in little over 3 minutes | 11:09 |
| meganerd | Supreme: I have no idea what normal is | 11:09 |
| bc81 | GriGi: not sure, but if you experiment, you can just rename that file to login.keyring.old (or something) | 11:09 |

| hcuongvn | guest1: I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. | 11:10 |

| guest1 | oCean: about 30 min to 1 hour maybe faster -- 8mb speed of internet -- anyway about 30 min with cable internet | 11:10 |
| meganerd | Supreme: probably a torrent | 11:11 |
| guest1 | hcuongvn: ok it's good i used it | 11:11 |

| patrunjel | Hi. Do bash scripts get outputed sequentially? I have a script that compiles some code, outputs whatever, to let me know the compiling is done, so I can test the speed of whatever algorithm I'm trying, and I wanna know if the echo is outputted exactly when my compiling is done, or if it's loaded into a buffer and outputed when my whole script finishes executing | 11:37 |
| _raven | MonkeyDust i need something like a graph | 11:38 |
| theadmin | patrunjel: The output is produced as soon as the "echo" program is called pretty much | 11:39 |

| tMH | ppl, once upon a time I have seen (and even installed!) slackware with enlightment version 6 or 7, the version that has some steam-punk visuals, yet it has sound scheme with nice effects like - closing window via pressing [x] button gave blast sound etc. does somebody remember this enlightment version , ever used, and know how to install it on xubuntu instead of xfce?:) | 12:01 |
| steven__ | i got it | 12:01 |
| jiltdil | I have to burn video in dvd. Which is the best s/w available for it in ubuntu? | 12:01 |

| bazhang | tMH, you mean 16/17? | 12:01 |
| steven__ | got it | 12:02 |
| rymate1234 | lol | 12:02 |
| tMH | bazhang - that version was on 1999/2000 years I suppose, because I used to install slackware in mar'00 | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | tMH, enlightment is in the repos. but theres been a lot of changes to it over the years. so that old them may not work any more. | 12:02 |
| tMH | Dr_willis - pityful :/ | 12:02 |
| Dr_willis | I always found enightment - overhyped.. | 12:03 |
| tMH | but - someone have seen _that_ version? | 12:03 |
| tMH | with bars like on caterpillar (warning drawing, yellow/black etc) | 12:03 |
| tMH | yellow/black bars on top of window.. | 12:03 |
| Dr_willis | Theres enlightment theme sites out there. | 12:03 |
| anonymousinuk | @oCean if general chat is in offtopic channel and there is less than 20 users in there where do ppl actually chat omn here? | 12:03 |

| anonymousinuk | im obviously looking at the wrong channel | 12:04 |
| anonymousinuk | soz guys got to go | 12:05 |
| Dr_willis | tMH, no idea. Every time i try enlightment - it makes me want to puke and i wonder what the big deal is about. | 12:06 |
| Dr_willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/enlightenment | 12:07 |
| tMH | Dr_willis - well, you have to understand - on '98/'99 there were no much themes and e7 (or e8) was a big blast in visual/soundFX :) | 12:07 |
| Dr_willis | I rember the E craze... and thought it sad back then. I perfered WindowMaker. | 12:07 |
| Dr_willis | that 'metisse' desktop showed more promise. but then compiz came out. | 12:08 |
| rymate1234 | compiz <3 | 12:08 |
| kpas | !classic | 12:08 |
| rymate1234 | gnome <3 | 12:08 |
| 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 | 12:08 |
| kpas | !notunity | 12:08 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:08 |
| rymate1234 | !GNOME | 12:08 |
| ubottu | GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 12:08 |
| rymate1234 | !unity | 12:09 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 12:09 |
| bazhang | rymate1234, stop that | 12:09 |
| rymate1234 | ok | 12:09 |

| rymate1234 | wait | 12:09 |

| rymate1234 | I thought it was a compiz plugin | 12:09 |
| Dr_willis | Unity is a shell on top of gnome-3 in Ubuntu 11.10+ | 12:09 |
| Dr_willis | it uses compiz yes. | 12:10 |

| rymate1234 | lol | 12:10 |

| barnex | ??constr | 12:11 |
| barnex | ops, sorry, wrong channel | 12:11 |
| * rymate1234 will be afk | 12:11 | |
| irvken | I've edited the grub.confg to boot in 600x400 but I still get out of range | 12:11 |
| Dr_willis | irvken, if you see the grub menu.. then thats the grub configs you tweaked.. that does NOT affect the X desktop res. | 12:12 |
| Keule | hallo, any germany here ? | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | irvken, try the nomodeset option in grub. whats the video card anyway? | 12:12 |
| Dr_willis | !nomodeset | irvken | 12:12 |
| ubottu | irvken: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 12:12 |

| Guest74941 | hey | 12:37 |
| nishttal2 | i installed the 32-bit 10.10 download | 12:37 |
| Guest74941 | saasa | 12:38 |
| bc81 | nishttal2: when you download the image, you should check the integrity of the file (also if you burn it to a cd) | 12:38 |
| nishttal2 | bc81.. install went fine from CD.. i have a working system except for those two issues | 12:39 |
| nishttal2 | is there another forum for running ubuntu on mac? | 12:41 |
| MonkeyDust | nishttal2 this link may be useful https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOnMac | 12:42 |
| bc81 | nishttal2: this might be a good starting point: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook also, you might need sound drivers | 12:42 |
| nishttal2 | MonkeyDust, that link says that sound should work out of the box for macbook 4,1 and 10.10.. but it doesnt | 12:43 |
| bc81 | nishttal2: then maybe reinstall (or check the integrity of installation disk) | 12:45 |

| beasty | i have 16gb of ram in my system | 15:23 |
| beasty | but for some reason ubuntu shows only 3.5 | 15:23 |
| Kaizer | @ Shedevil. With a single 4gig stick it next upgrade could be 8 | 15:23 |

| bazhang | beasty, 64bit system installed? | 15:23 |

| beasty | ok | 15:24 |
| LjL | beasty: a 32-bit system with 16GB of RAM? | 15:24 |
| beasty | yes | 15:24 |
| LjL | beasty: that seems unlikely. | 15:24 |
| BlouBlou | beasty: It won't detect 16 then, you need the 64-bits edition | 15:24 |

| bazhang | LjL, it only shows 3.5 | 15:25 |
| LjL | bazhang: right, but when instructed to install 64-bit Ubuntu, he said it's a 32-bit system. i have my doubt a pure 32-bit system would have 16GB of RAM. | 15:25 |

| Ghrim | Please can someone help me do this? http://blog.cretin.net/blog/2011/10/18/building-xfwm4-tiling-ubuntu/ :( | 15:27 |
| beasty | hmm | 15:27 |
| beasty | what should you recommend that i do | 15:27 |
| beasty | install the 64bit system or the PAE kernel ? | 15:27 |
| BlouBlou | beasty: I recommend you going to ubuntu.com website and downloading the 64-bits edition | 15:27 |
| Shedevil | download the 64-bit .iso | 15:27 |
| FesterJester | bc81: If you are interested, I had to add your fix and 'unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS' to my vnc xstartup file to get a deaktop | 15:27 |
| bazhang | beasty, your choice. one means total reinstall | 15:28 |
| gilles_ | http://tippy.org/2012/ubuntu-unity-11-10-windows-slow-and-laggy-with-ati-and-nvidia-gpus/ | 15:28 |
| beasty | would that make impact on my c and java development ? | 15:28 |
| bazhang | no | 15:28 |
| beasty | ok | 15:28 |
| beasty | bazhang: it's not a stress the reinstall ... it's a new computer from yesterday | 15:28 |
| gilles_ | why is my notebook acer 5551, sluggy/laggy with ubuntu11.10.. with open source or propriatary drivers.. plenty of laptop power ..not the issue, i install |OS, install updates then really slow, if i installed vid card driver, propriatary, seems a little faster, but choppy movies, ingeneral OS really slow right from the beginnin | 15:29 |
| bazhang | beasty, good, install the 64 then | 15:29 |
| beasty | 64-bit PC (AMD64) alternate install CD | 15:29 |
| beasty | this then ? | 15:29 |
| bazhang | yep | 15:29 |
| beasty | ok downloading :) | 15:29 |
| bazhang | there are torrents as well beasty | 15:29 |
| Jacruth | IS there any way to know if my card supports ARB_SYNC? | 15:29 |
| skylord5816 | When installing Ubuntu via Wubi, will Wubi disable hibernation for the Windows OS or the Ubuntu OS, or both? | 15:29 |
| bazhang | Jacruth, what is that | 15:29 |
| beasty | bazhang: i know ... but i'm getting full speed from a local mirror (12.3MB/s) :) | 15:30 |
| Jacruth | bazhang, iis a technology that synchronizes data between the graphics card's processor, the GPU and the computer's main processor, the CPU | 15:30 |
| Jacruth | Read more: How to Tell if My Graphics Card Is ARB_SYNC Enabled | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_8472035_tell-graphics-card-arbsync-enabled.html#ixzz1mkQSTOU9 | 15:30 |
| bc81 | FesterJester: yea, i saw that thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480094 glad you got it working :) | 15:30 |
| Jacruth | sorry about the Read more, it was autocpied | 15:30 |
| dusf | !bluetooth | 15:31 |
| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 15:31 |
| dusf | fucking ubuntu, breaks sound and bluetooth every upgrade. l2 stop upgrading every 6 months when you are not ready and releasing crap. | 15:31 |
| FesterJester | bc81: Thaks much for the help. Been working on it almost a week now. | 15:31 |
| oCean | dusf: control your language here, please | 15:31 |
| beasty | haha | 15:32 |
| beasty | i bet he's pissed about bluetooth support :p | 15:32 |
| oCean | beasty: let's move on | 15:32 |
| beasty | ofc :) | 15:32 |
| bc81 | FesterJester: yea, that's about how long it took me when i had the problem (on xubuntu karmic) some time back. good idea to save these little tidbits for future use, my 'obscure linux knowledge' file is about 400 lines deep :) | 15:33 |
| bazhang | Jacruth, perhaps sudo lshw ? not sure exactly how you would check that | 15:34 |
| Shedevil | does anyone here use synergy to use mouse and keyboard across multiple computers at the same time | 15:35 |
| Nullifi3d | Shedevil: i used to | 15:35 |
| Jacruth | bazhang, perhaps if there is any way to check th video card configuration... | 15:35 |
| FesterJester | bc81: :) I am working on creating a headless ubuntu10.04 setup with ssh, vnc, and serial port login. Then I am going to try to convert it to a live cd. Serial login and SSH successful, VNC is almost done, and liveCD is to come. | 15:36 |
| Shedevil | well I've been reading about how to get the sound from the client comps onto the host comp over LAN as well | 15:36 |
| Nullifi3d | never experimented with that :P | 15:36 |
| Shedevil | and I think pulseaudio will do that | 15:36 |
| Shedevil | but I want the host machine to be windows | 15:36 |
| Nullifi3d | why not just use a 3.5mm cable? | 15:37 |
| Nullifi3d | speaker out > line in | 15:37 |
| Shedevil | that would work if I only had one client comp... but I have 3 | 15:37 |
| Nullifi3d | ah | 15:37 |
| Shedevil | or could I daisy chain them....? | 15:37 |
| Nullifi3d | yeah i tihnk you could | 15:37 |
| Nullifi3d | just make sure all your levels are the same going across | 15:38 |
| Shedevil | so line out from the 2nd PC would be carrying 1st and 2nd PC audio to line in on 3rd host PC? | 15:38 |
| bc81 | FesterJester: nice! you'll be done in time for the next LTS (very soon i think april 2012?) good luck | 15:38 |
| Nullifi3d | yes | 15:38 |
| Nullifi3d | afaik that should work | 15:38 |
| Shedevil | ok that may work for stero, but what about 7.1 surround | 15:39 |
| Nullifi3d | lol no it wont | 15:39 |
| FesterJester | bc81: Lol, yeah. Then I might have to redo it with that LTS. If it doesn't have the goofy Ubuquity desktop. I dislike it. | 15:39 |
| Shedevil | there is a program called airfoil that sounds like what I'm looking for, but it's $25 | 15:40 |
| Nullifi3d | are you a programmer at all? | 15:40 |
| cola_ftw_ | java ftw | 15:40 |
| Shedevil | who? | 15:40 |
| Nullifi3d | you, Shedevil | 15:40 |
| Nullifi3d | java is merely *ok* | 15:40 |
| Shedevil | no lol I'm just a gamer | 15:40 |
| cola_ftw_ | ya im eventually gonna take on the big bad c | 15:41 |
| Nullifi3d | Shedevil: was gonna say that itd be relatively simple to transmit all audio over tcp to a host | 15:41 |
| airtonix | you know what's awesome about gnome-desktop... 1. insert second monitor 2. do security sensitive work on screen two with visually comprimising pictures and words... 3. lock screen to prevent co-workers vising the stuff... 4. FREAK out as you realise it only blanks out the primary screen.... | 15:41 |
| cola_ftw_ | whats not good about ubuntu and second monitor is 1. install fglrx and magically your second monitor wont work | 15:42 |
| airtonix | cola_ftw_: oh i didn't make the mistake of purchasing amd (insert anything( | 15:42 |

| czx | there was a patch for that but it was axed by russophobics | 15:47 |
| randomnewb | -I for unzip? | 15:47 |
| SmashingX | I just installed a new version of a program that is on the list of programs, but I need to change the path of the executable file, any ideas? | 15:47 |

| === Guest35366 is now known as williammanda | ||
| randomnewb | CyborgSmurf: What happens when you boot? | 15:49 |
| bc81 | CyborgSmurf: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD | 15:49 |
| SmashingX | I just installed a new version of a program that is on the list of programs, but I need to change the path of the executable file, any ideas? | 15:49 |
| airtonix | gilles_: just a guess : ati video card is less than exceptional on linux... nVidia is king... also your laptop may not the highest specs.. ( is this it : http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/notebook/2010/Acer/Aspire/Aspire5551/Aspire5551sp2.shtml ) ? | 15:50 |
| skylord5816 | When installing Ubuntu via Wubi, will Wubi disable hibernation for the Windows OS or the Ubuntu OS, or both? | 15:50 |
| CyborgSmurf | randomnewb: it takes me into windows xp loading screen and then it kind of loops the loading bar. I have to add that before this, I tried ubuntu install wich crashed(weird as it is) | 15:50 |
| SmashingX | I just installed a new version of a program that is on the list of programs, so I need to change the path of the program on the list of programs, any ideas? | 15:50 |
| airtonix | skylord5816: most likely for ubuntu since you may or may not get the change to create a swap partition (which is essential for hibernation on linux) | 15:50 |
| airtonix | chance* | 15:51 |
| bc81 | !repeat | SmashingX | 15:51 |
| ubottu | SmashingX: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 15:51 |
| skylord5816 | airtonix: thank you :) | 15:51 |
| skylord5816 | that's not so bad, then | 15:51 |
| gilles_ | Yes that is my laptop .. its def enough to run 11.10 | 15:51 |
| SmashingX | come on I think that's pretty easy to do | 15:51 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: programs are not installed into one directory like they are in MacOSx or Windows... however, you can see installed software ( and there locations with the dpkg command) | 15:51 |
| grindel | hi everyone, I'm having trouble getting a wireless usb dongle to work: the dongle is W311M from Tenda, the OS is EMC2 (which I think is Ubuntu 10.04 based) I have tried the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Tenda_W311M no joy though | 15:51 |
| bc81 | SmashingX: you mean, you want to update the menu item to point to the new versions' executable file? | 15:52 |
| SmashingX | bc81: yeah if that is possible | 15:52 |
| airtonix | gilles_: you may think so, but my laptop has a quad core i7 and 12gb of ddr3 ram and the latest nvidia card... it still slows down when i have 50 programs open | 15:52 |
| grindel | modprobe says unknown symbol in module | 15:52 |
| Shedevil | are line in and mic sperate channels or the same | 15:52 |
| SmashingX | bc81: or if it's not possible I would like to just change the path of the program that is in the list of programs | 15:53 |
| gilles_ | wow .. i have no programs open and its slow .. 10.10 is extremly fast | 15:53 |
| airtonix | gilles_: i would first try 2d mode in either unity or gnome-shell, then try xfce | 15:53 |
| randomnewb | CyborgSmurf: Can you boot into windows safe mode? | 15:53 |
| bc81 | SmashingX: well, my setup is probably very different from yours but i can right-click my main menu and choose "Edit Menus" from there, i can update the path | 15:53 |
| SmashingX | gilles_: I thought the same thing but after some time of using it, Ubuntu also gets slow just like Windows over time | 15:53 |
| grindel | I tried the last thing, and then the first...so there may be a conflict I don't understand how to clean up | 15:54 |
| beasty | hmm nice | 15:54 |
| SmashingX | bc81: I have gnome3 installed on my system so I can't do that | 15:54 |
| CyborgSmurf | randomnewb: no, none of those works | 15:54 |
| beasty | reinstalled ubuntu in 15 minutes | 15:54 |
| grindel | (off the link I gave earlier | 15:54 |
| SmashingX | bc81: or is there any option where I can see Edit Menus? | 15:54 |
| airtonix | bc81: you can still run alacarte | 15:54 |
| gilles_ | ok then // ill have to try another distro | 15:54 |
| gilles_ | pclinuxos or something lol | 15:55 |
| airtonix | bc81: i mean SmashingX: , you can still run alacarte | 15:55 |
| gilles_ | 2d mode ? how do i enable that ? | 15:55 |
| SmashingX | what's that? | 15:55 |
| airtonix | gilles_: well that's a fairly drastic reaction, did you try gnome-shell or xfce ? | 15:55 |
| CyborgSmurf | randomnewb: thing is that I have tried two different hdd and they had some other pool problems which took it to another level. This one just dosent want to boot even after conf in BIOS. | 15:55 |
| SmashingX | or how can i run that? | 15:55 |
| bc81 | SmashingX: yes alt+f2 and type alacarte | 15:56 |
| gilles_ | xfce gives me sound issues | 15:56 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: try it.. press the meta key (windows key) and type either of "alacarte" or "menu" | 15:56 |
| ubuntu | Ubiquity and Gparted dont detect partitions on my /dev/sdb, but Window/Nautilus does. Any idea why? | 15:56 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: typing "men" for me brings up "Main Menu" in the applications results | 15:56 |
| SmashingX | nothing | 15:57 |
| gilles_ | how to go to 2d unity and or gnome shell? | 15:57 |
| SmashingX | it says Command not found | 15:57 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: did you do it in the gnome-shell overview? press the windows key or move the mouse to the top left corner | 15:58 |
| bc81 | SmashingX: try gmenu-simple-editor. also, see this thread - it may be relevant: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=933541 | 15:58 |
| airtonix | bc81: gmenu isn't installed by default. | 15:59 |

| monohedron | How can I access a device listed in the /dev folder from a remote machine ? If that question should go somewhere else please let me know what channel. | 16:08 |
| zykotick9 | monohedron: ssh into the remote box then "ls /dev" | 16:08 |
| airtonix | monohedron: there are also other ways, but you were pretty vague on the requirements... | 16:09 |
| SmashingX | How can I update the programs that I have installed? | 16:09 |
| ubuntu | monohedron: you can access everything via ssh. | 16:09 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: via the ubuntu software center? or the command line? | 16:09 |
| zykotick9 | SmashingX: "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" is the command line version | 16:09 |
| monohedron | well ok i know but how to lets say mount /dev/sdd2 | 16:10 |
| SmashingX | cool thans | 16:10 |
| monohedron | as an example | 16:10 |
| SmashingX | thanks | 16:10 |
| monohedron | i would like to have the foreign device as if it was on the local macine | 16:10 |
| zykotick9 | monohedron: that won't work | 16:10 |
| SmashingX | zykotick9:if I do sudo apt-get upgrade atferwards it will know automatically what programs need to be updated? | 16:10 |
| airtonix | monohedron: yes but do you simply want to look at nautilus on remote machine and see a mounted disk ? or do you want to type : ssh://server/mnt/sdd2 ? | 16:10 |
| matt__ | hi. Is there a terminal command that lets me see what hardware is in my laptop? I need to know the make and model of my wireless card to I can find a driver for it. | 16:11 |
| ubuntu | monohedron: `ssh <username>@<ip>` | 16:11 |
| zykotick9 | SmashingX: i'm unclear on your followup question??? | 16:11 |
| airtonix | monohedron: if you want them to look like local devices then you need to look into nfs | 16:11 |
| monohedron | ok that will do it for drives or is that possible for for al devies types | 16:11 |
| airtonix | monohedron: or smbfs or sshfs | 16:11 |
| Seryth | How can I change the password for a different user from root? I've forgotton it. | 16:11 |
| monohedron | !sshfs|monohedron | 16:11 |

| Seryth | zykotick9: Ah, ty :) | 16:12 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: in the filezilla itsel | 16:12 |
| ubuntu | monohedron: where are we now then/ | 16:13 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: Help-> check for new verions | 16:13 |
| zykotick9 | SmashingX: after "sudo apt-get update" you'll have the most recent database of available programs | 16:13 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: how did you install the program in the first place ? | 16:13 |
| SmashingX | zykotick9: so just the database, but to update the program? | 16:13 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: software center? ppa? a zip file? a tar ball? | 16:13 |
| zykotick9 | SmashingX: "sudo apt-get upgrade" will upgrade everything | 16:13 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: software center | 16:13 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: then you won't get a new version. | 16:14 |

| zykotick9 | SmashingX: technically my last statement was a lie - "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will upgrade everything (same as GUI update manager) | 16:14 |
| SmashingX | ok that was what my followup question was about | 16:14 |
| monohedron | i know how to mount a drive but how could i take a speaker along or a mouse or a keyboard | 16:14 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: you would either need to look if the filezilla provides a ppa with the latest version of research how to install from tar.gz | 16:14 |
| airtonix | or * | 16:14 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: why it has to be such a pain to upgrade a software :( | 16:15 |
| airtonix | monohedron: speaker and keyboard are possible but handled by two other programs/protocols | 16:15 |
| monsterripper | hi there, how do install cinnamon on ubuntu , exactly ??? | 16:15 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: as opposed to what? | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | !cinnamon | 16:15 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: other OS? | 16:15 |
| _raven | where is the rhythmbox-cache? (need to reset imported files)) | 16:15 |
| zykotick9 | monsterripper: when others have asked, they've typically gotten a "not supported" reply, but i don't personally have any idea... (i don't even really know what cinnamon is, is that mint's new interface?) | 16:16 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: windows doesn't have apt-get upgrade, macosx doesn't have the massive library of apt-get repos. | 16:16 |
| monohedron | airtonix, isn't there a standard way of 'mounting' devices across machines ? | 16:16 |
| monsterripper | zykotick9: yep... | 16:16 |
| zykotick9 | monohedron: NFS for file systems | 16:16 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: yes. nfs. | 16:16 |
| SmashingX | to update you just have to download the newest version, install it and it will automatically replace the old version | 16:17 |
| airtonix | monohedron: you may also appreciate autofs | 16:17 |
| monohedron | zykotick9, don't mind file systems i kno how to do that | 16:17 |
| monohedron | airtonix, hmm let me have a look | 16:17 |
| Seryth | Hm, how can I change admin accounts? I wnat to delete an account, but I can't because it says that that user is the only system admin O.o | 16:17 |
| zykotick9 | monohedron: for other devices, i don't thik it's possible | 16:17 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: thats one program... wait till you have to manage 100s of computers at once... now repeat your single action again 100 times. | 16:17 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: seriously... installing and managing software on linux is alot easier than windows or macosx | 16:18 |
| zykotick9 | Seryth: add your user to the "admin" group (which permits sudo access) | 16:18 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: well for me it's useful because in that cas I'm only updating the software I'm really using | 16:18 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: why would you upgrade software you don't use? | 16:18 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: which is why i said "find a ppa that provides the latest version of filezilla" | 16:18 |
| Seryth | zykotick9: how? | 16:18 |
| zykotick9 | airtonix: s/linux/ubuntu/ try slackware and say linux is easier for installing software ;) | 16:18 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: ? i wouldn't upgrade software i don't use... because i wouldn't have it installed. | 16:18 |
| _raven | where is the rhythmbox-cache? (need to reset scanned files) | 16:19 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: but with that I have to add it to a file that I don't remember the name, and the run many commands after I did a lot of research abou it | 16:19 |
| zykotick9 | Seryth: i'm not going to reply. So either ask the channel how, or do some research. | 16:19 |
| meta-coder | Woah woah woah! 1485 chatters here! | 16:19 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: and with macosx and windows you have to remember all individual the places all your software came from when you need to update them ... | 16:19 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: I'm pretty sure 90% of the people has at least 1 program in their computer they used to use it but not anymore | 16:19 |
| Seryth | zykotick9: Uh, okay.... | 16:20 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: i'm not sure what your point is. or how that's a bad thing about apt-get | 16:20 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: 1. add ppa. 2. use software. 3. somewhere in future run : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade 4. relish as all upgradable software is upgraded | 16:21 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: well my point is why it has to be such a pain to upgrade a program as you asked.. as opposed to lets say windows | 16:21 |
| module000 | SmashingX: that "software i don't use" includes things like your drivers that you want updated to fix bugs/errors. along with a plethora of other useful updates. | 16:21 |
| zykotick9 | module000: +1 | 16:21 |
| royale1223 | Gparted dont detect partitions. why? | 16:22 |
| celthunder | royale1223: what type? | 16:22 |
| SmashingX | module000: drivers? I just install drivers when I install my OS, and then I forget about them | 16:22 |
| compdoc | SmashingX, you mean why would someone update software they dont use thats installed? Pretty simple answer to that | 16:22 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: /dev/sdb sata | 16:22 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: last time i had to upgrade software on a windows machine it took me all afternoon... that's just one machine... same operation on my linux gaming laptop takes 30mins | 16:22 |
| celthunder | royale1223: do you have the fs tools installed for the partition type/mbr/gpt stuff | 16:22 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: everything in it | 16:22 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: tried deleting gpt via gdisk, no use | 16:23 |
| module000 | SmashingX: and since you normally forget about them, that's precisely why you benefit from them being updated by someone who is watchful enough(your OS) to *not* forget about them. this is a non-argument, install windows if this makes no sense. | 16:23 |
| zykotick9 | SmashingX: perhaps there are some variable you aren't taking into account. Updates in Ubuntu ONLY fix bugs and security issues, that's it - you don't get NEW versions of stuff. | 16:23 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: btw why are you use filezilla when nautilus does ftp and sftp/ssh better | 16:23 |
| airtonix | zykotick9: unless you add ppa | 16:23 |
| _raven | where is the rhythmbox-cache? (need to reset scanned files) | 16:23 |
| zykotick9 | airtonix: right, and PPA's are unsupported 3rd party | 16:23 |
| airtonix | _raven: somewhere in ~/.config/ | 16:23 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: this happend when i was using testdisk to recover a deleted partition | 16:24 |
| SmashingX | zykotick9: I think that's a good point | 16:24 |
| Seryth | How can I add a user to the admin group? I currently have two users, and I tried to delete one of them, but got an error saying that it's the only user in the admin group, and deleting it would screw everything up. How can I switch admin to the other user, so I can delete the one I want to? | 16:24 |
| SmashingX | zykotick9: But I also think there are also some improvements | 16:24 |
| czx | airtonix, in WIndows and MacOSX you don't have to wait FOUR months to upgrade your ENTIRE system to get a new version of a program | 16:24 |
| zykotick9 | _raven: i always pointed rhythmbox to a directory with one or two files, rescanned, the switched back to regular music directory and rescanned | 16:24 |
| celthunder | royale1223: lol don't delete partitions you still want...gl | 16:24 |
| airtonix | czx: i don't have to wait four months on linux either. | 16:25 |
| airtonix | czx: it's great isn't it! :) | 16:25 |
| randomnewb | Linux tip for beginners in the terminal try: locate file-I-am-looking-for | 16:25 |
| _raven | zykotick9 ok ill try that tnx | 16:25 |
| czx | yes, if you can afford playing with git and compiler | 16:25 |
| royale1223 | royale1223: i didnt. i recoverd the deleted partition. they are rw from nautilus. but gparted dont detect them | 16:25 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: mhhh I find Filezilla easier to use | 16:25 |
| airtonix | czx: who said anything about git? | 16:26 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: : i didnt. i recoverd the deleted partition. they are rw from nautilus. but gparted dont detect them | 16:26 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: that's strange i find it frustratingly difficult to use. | 16:26 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: what's the main point why you find it easier? | 16:27 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: and because gparted dont work i cant install ubuntu on it. | 16:27 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: it's the same interface that i use to operate on local files. | 16:27 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: i can read write the files very well. Its just the gparted. | 16:27 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: well let me give it a try | 16:27 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: the bad thing about it is that I will have to lear the different functions to use | 16:28 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: is there some special feature that filezilla has? | 16:28 |
| svg | Anyone around running Ubuntu on a recent MacBook Pro? | 16:29 |
| airtonix | svg: yes. | 16:29 |
| airtonix | svg: 8,2 macbook pro. | 16:29 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: are you still there buddy/ | 16:29 |
| svg | I'm having troubles installing Ubuntu 11.04 on a Mac Book Pro. Using the alternate cd, when setup starts up, it fails to mount it the cdrom | 16:29 |
| airtonix | svg: yeah i went back to 10.10 | 16:30 |
| celthunder | royale1223: no ideas lol | 16:30 |
| royale1223 | svg: try usb installer. www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 16:30 |
| airtonix | svg: but i actually installed from usb i think. | 16:30 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: thanks anyway. | 16:30 |
| airtonix | svg: but you have to prepare the usb as a hfs or something | 16:30 |
| celthunder | royale1223: try to do it from a terminal (start gparted) or use parted or fdisk see if you can get the error | 16:30 |
| svg | This sounds like the right module isn't loaded for cdrom access | 16:31 |
| mmaatt | I am having trouble with my wifi card. My internet connection is noticeably slower on ubuntu than on windows. Any suggestions on where to start? | 16:31 |
| purplefool | ok, trying to install a new graphic card and ran into problems. the gui doesn't work, so i am stuck in terminal (not to savey there). i am trying to get computer to update the system through ppa, but it only reads what is needed and doesn't download them...how to i get it to download the needed files? | 16:31 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: no errors on fdisk | 16:31 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: not special feature but as I said sometimes you stick to a program because you know how it works and you know where to find anything you need easily, even thought others find it difficult to use (like in our case) | 16:33 |
| royale1223 | celthunder: fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/847420/ | 16:33 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: i think i really like the idea of having my ssh and ftp servers bookmarked in nautilus right there next to my other stuff... (plus once mounted they are actually accesible through ~/.gvfs/server name/path/to/stuff/on/remote/machine/ | 16:34 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: smb included | 16:34 |
| royale1223 | an advice to all people out here. never ever give ubuntu-tweak root permissions. it will f*** up your installation. | 16:35 |
| nineteen67comet | Hello; I'm looking for input/ideas on where to start looking for a linux happy way for my cousin to use a bar code scanner in his t-shirt/printing shop. | 16:35 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: anyway, it sucks that I can't edit my menus | 16:36 |
| purplefool | can you tell me how to get an update in terminal? sudo apt-get update only reads what is needed and doesn't download... | 16:36 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: did you try ther other method? | 16:36 |
| escott | purplefool, sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:36 |
| * czx confused with an eternal covil war in ubuntu community | 16:36 | |
| airtonix | SmashingX: or did you only try with alt + f2 | 16:36 |
| === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB | ||
| royale1223 | purplefool: sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:36 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: what other method sorry I missed that | 16:37 |
| nineteen67comet | purplefool: sudo aptitude full-upgrade (or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) .. | 16:37 |
| royale1223 | purplefool: i use sudo apt-fast upgrade . much faster | 16:37 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: open up the gnome-shell overview: (press windows key) or move mouse to top left corner of screen, or press 'activities' | 16:37 |
| purplefool | ack! only misspelled it?!? dam! hate spelling! | 16:37 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: then type menu | 16:37 |
| rymate1234 | royale1223: apt-fast? | 16:38 |
| purplefool | thx for answer | 16:38 |
| royale1223 | rymate1234: yea, uses axel or aria2c instead of wget | 16:38 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: if you don't have an entry called "main menu" (which you should since it comes installed by default), then open a terminal and type : sudo apt-get install alacarte | 16:38 |
| SmashingX | airtonix: Main Menu? | 16:39 |
| SmashingX | yeah | 16:39 |
| SmashingX | I see it | 16:39 |
| airtonix | SmashingX: run it. | 16:39 |
| SmashingX | mmhh I tried but nothing happens | 16:40 |
| danileigh79 | purplefool: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:40 |

| royale1223 | bazhang: yep | 16:42 |
| royale1223 | module000: ext4 logical | 16:43 |
| module000 | royale1223: no what type of *table* is it. | 16:43 |

| royale1223 | module000: parted cant print /dev/sdb | 16:45 |
| royale1223 | escott: gdisk | 16:45 |
| Masterlorn | danileigh79: desktop | 16:46 |
| svg | airtonix: ok, I solved it by dd'ing my iso on a USb stick and manually mounting that on /cdrom. Installer goes on fine after that. | 16:46 |
| royale1223 | module000: parted http://paste.ubuntu.com/847433/ | 16:46 |
| module000 | royale1223: your geometry is fubar on that drive | 16:47 |
| purplefool | is there a new command syntax for ppa-purge? | 16:47 |
| royale1223 | module000: i dont see anything wrong with geo. can you please point it out? | 16:48 |
| danileigh79 | Masterlorn: what's lsusb say? | 16:48 |
| module000 | royale1223: well parted *thinks* your geometry is the problem. it thinks one of the partition bounds is outside the total range of the disk | 16:48 |
| Masterlorn | danileigh79: what is what saying? :D im completely new to linux sry ^^ | 16:48 |
| danileigh79 | Masterlorn: sype lsusb into a seperate terminal | 16:49 |
| royale1223 | module000: thats for sda. my issue is with sdb. parted dont even list sdb. | 16:49 |
| module000 | royale1223: i dont' know how to fix that though, if it was me i would export the partitions, re-create the table, then import my data partitions. there could be an easier way but i don't have experience with it | 16:49 |
| danileigh79 | Masterlorn: I have to leave very soon though | 16:49 |
| yakc | If I build a proxy server does it give same/my IP address to all who logs in? | 16:49 |

| compdoc | royale1223, 500GB drives are rarely actually 500GB | 16:49 |

| Masterlorn | maybe i can lend a laptop for short so that i can ubuntu while youre helping me | 16:49 |
| royale1223 | compdoc: so? i dont understand. | 16:50 |
| danileigh79 | Masterlorn: I'm sorry, I can't wait.... I have to leave | 16:50 |
| compdoc | so I doubt you have those numbers right | 16:50 |
| Masterlorn | damn | 16:50 |
| module000 | royale1223: i would still try exporting my data partitions and recreating the table, i'm not sure how to fix that. your libparted version isn't old by any chance? | 16:50 |
| royale1223 | compdoc: i'm not talking about 500gig disk. problem is with the 320 gig. | 16:51 |
| royale1223 | i'm booting from 12.04 live cd. no way libparted is old | 16:51 |
| module000 | royale1223: yea that's new....I don't know what is causing that | 16:51 |
| royale1223 | how do i export data partition and recreate table? any guide available? | 16:52 |
| module000 | royale1223: oh, just `dd` them | 16:52 |
| module000 | royale1223: dd them all out, then `mktable` within parted to create a fresh table, then re-create the partitions and `dd` them back onto the disk | 16:53 |
| royale1223 | module000: so i need another 320gig hdd to copy? right? | 16:54 |
| module000 | royale1223: yes, or larger. before you do this, you might want to ask in #linux, there could be a solution i don't know about before you spend an hour or more importing/exporting data | 16:54 |

| sacarlson | LukeNukem: your router is forwarded? is all the firewall on that system also disabled open? | 17:22 |
| f10w3r5 | make sure you're allowing tcp/80 on your outside interface. | 17:22 |
| zykotick9 | LukeNukem: you are saying ports and they - for default Web, it's just port 80. What port(s) are you for forwarding? | 17:22 |

| LukeNukem | i mean i haven't installed any firewall, is there any by default | 17:24 |
| zykotick9 | LukeNukem: it's not active by default | 17:24 |
| sacarlson | LukeNukem: no by default there should be none | 17:24 |
| sacarlson | LukeNukem: so if you didn't play with fw stuf then is your system listening on the port that you have it forwarded? as I asked before sudo netstat -pant to find out | 17:25 |
| royale1223 | module000: are you there? | 17:25 |
| archo43 | i dont like debian, they ban me | 17:25 |
| zykotick9 | LukeNukem: can a computer on the local network connect? (verifies server is working) are you forwarding to the correct IP of the server? perhaps your ISP blocks port 80? | 17:26 |

| jarle | somehow something in 11.04 is keeping my screen from turning off via dpms, anybody else ran into (and solved) this problem? Never had this problem in earlier versions of Ubuntu. | 17:57 |
| ikonia | zykotick9: no - it wouldn't alien just changes the package format, not the content, the content is still useless | 17:57 |
| theadmin | ikonia: Depends on the software most of the time, something minor might even work :D | 17:57 |
| ikonia | theadmin: pretty much zero software will work unless it's "noarch" rpms | 17:58 |
| hanthana | there are thousands of of linux based softwares/applications so some one have to rewrite them for Andriod right? | 17:58 |
| theadmin | ikonia: Hm... well yeah, you got to be lucky :D | 17:58 |
| ikonia | hanthana: this isn't really anything to do with ubuntu so not really valid for this channel | 17:59 |

| archo43 | warning? | 18:02 |
| theadmin | archo43: This doesn't make much sense you know, Ubuntu's forked off Debian sort of, so the code is same a lot. Ubuntu's more up-to-date most of the time though, although has a much different software set and release system. | 18:02 |
| ikonia | archo43: correct, to stop this complaining about debian | 18:02 |

| pangolin | !iptables | Burner_ | 18:09 |
| ubottu | Burner_: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 18:09 |

| Burner_ | theadmin no, I mean that how to persist ip rules | 18:10 |
| theadmin | Burner_: ...What does "ip rules" even mean? | 18:10 |
| zykotick9 | Burner_: "ip rules" suggests iptables actually | 18:10 |

| ch33z | how do i create the direcotry if its no there? | 18:15 |
| theadmin | ch33z: Well, sudo mkdir -p /path/to/new/directory | 18:15 |
| ch33z | ah | 18:15 |

| theadmin | iirc* | 18:34 |
| zykotick9 | rabbi1: compiz seems to affect the cursor themse quite often (i have no suggestions though). Good luck. | 18:35 |
| zykotick9 | der_On: on ubuntu 11.10 you'll see lots of :i386 packages (it's due to multiarch, which is currently being developed) | 18:36 |

| aguitel | zykotick9, yes but in 10.04 (like in squeeze) all run fine | 18:44 |
| zykotick9 | aguitel: correct but nvidia's dropping support for old cards/old Xorg... | 18:44 |

| clone1018 | Anyone have any experience with ATI and Ubuntu? Trying to change my primary monitor with the drivers installed. | 18:49 |
| zykotick9 | rabbi1: you best bet is probably to forget either a) cursor themes or b) compiz -- your choice | 18:49 |
| zykotick9 | rabbi1: you'd need to run "compiz --replace" from inside Xorg (which technically c+a+f6 would be, but i'm not sure what you mean there) | 18:50 |
| rabbi1 | zykotick9: :( thank you | 18:50 |

| theadmin | marti: Same as 11.10, also support for Precise is in #ubuntu+1 | 18:58 |
| Uncle_Fester | my video card does sound too | 18:58 |
| r_tarandus | hai gais | 18:58 |
| marti | I used 10.04 LTS | 18:58 |
| marti | Now I am using Debian | 18:59 |
| marti | but is slow | 18:59 |
| zykotick9 | !requirements | marti | 18:59 |
| ubottu | marti: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu | 18:59 |
| Uncle_Fester | i looked up additional drivers, it shows the nvidia driver is recommened | 18:59 |
| r_tarandus | When I turn on my laptop, it takes me to the login screen. I type in my password, hit Enter, and then it flashes and loops back to the password screen, causing me to go in this infinite loop... I'm using the Guest account right now. What's up? | 18:59 |
| Uncle_Fester | and it says the driver is actinated but not currently in use | 19:00 |
| theadmin | r_tarandus: Your user profile is messed up basically | 19:00 |
| marti | is possibe to disable this menu on the left? And back to classic panels and gnome2? | 19:00 |
| purplefool | so, was editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and found that, in line 2, there is "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" even though i have been trying all afternoon to get rid of ati drivers. how can i get rid of ati drivers so i can finally install my nvidia card? | 19:00 |
| r_tarandus | theadmin: any suggestions, then? | 19:00 |
| Uncle_Fester | how do enable it to use? | 19:00 |
| auronandace | !gnome2 | marti | 19:00 |
| ubottu | marti: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 19:00 |
| theadmin | !notunity | marti | 19:00 |
| ubottu | marti: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:00 |
| theadmin | r_tarandus: Create another user and use that, removing the old one is what I say | 19:00 |
| OerHeks | Uncle_Fester, after enable nvidia drivers, reboot ? | 19:00 |
| r_tarandus | theadmin: I'm sorry, but how do I do that from the Guest account? | 19:01 |
| zykotick9 | purplefool: move the xorg.conf to a different name, after installing nvidia use "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to get an nvidia specific xorg.conf | 19:01 |
| Uncle_Fester | i dont know how to enable | 19:01 |
| theadmin | r_tarandus: No real way -- hit Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in with your "real" account and then "sudo adduser new_username" | 19:01 |
| purplefool | thx...will try that! | 19:01 |
| marti | I'll wait for Ubu 12.04;) | 19:02 |
| marti | And I'll test then | 19:02 |
| Uncle_Fester | here is exactly what it says"This driver is activated but not currently in use" | 19:02 |
| zykotick9 | Uncle_Fester: ignore that message (assuming your driver works), its a common bug (for a very long time) | 19:02 |
| Uncle_Fester | so how do i get it to give me sound, i am assuming that is the problem' | 19:03 |
| purplefool | zykotick9, one problem though, i am cut off from using the gui...will nvidia-xconfig still work in terminal? | 19:03 |
| zykotick9 | purplefool: yes, but after moving the current xorg.conf you might be able to use the GUI again | 19:03 |
| purplefool | zykotick9, kk, brb with results | 19:04 |
| computa_mike | I might be a bit thick here, but I'm struggling to burn an image to a DVD... I made an image using brasero - and then tried to burn it to a disk but it won't let me. I can see the disk, but the burn option is not available. Any Ideas?? | 19:05 |
| Uncle_Fester | at the top it says"no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" | 19:05 |
| skypce | hi guys, i have a postinst file in /debian/DEBIAN folder for create a deb package , but my problem is when install the package doesnt execute the postinst script . can you helpme please? | 19:05 |
| zykotick9 | Uncle_Fester: that's a real issue - have you restarted? | 19:05 |
| Uncle_Fester | i havent done anything to the driver | 19:06 |
| zykotick9 | Uncle_Fester: i mean, have you restarted your computer (ubuntu)? | 19:06 |
| Uncle_Fester | it happened all of a sudden in 10.10 and now i am in 11.04. and still same problem | 19:06 |
| Uncle_Fester | i'll do it again | 19:07 |
| zykotick9 | Uncle_Fester: well, good luck. I'm not interesting in helping with upgrade issues. | 19:07 |

| purplefool | zykotick9, or move it for that matter! | 19:09 |
| zykotick9 | purplefool: assuming you are in the /etc/X11 directory (in terminal) "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.disabled" | 19:09 |
| zykotick9 | purplefool: move/rename are the same thing ;) | 19:09 |
| purplefool | zykotick9, didn't it used to be md? or is that something else? | 19:09 |

| kraz3d | I have apache2 installed, however I'd like to move my blog onto my own webserver so I need to install LAMP instead, am I best off uninstalling apache completely first? | 19:27 |
| zykotick9 | !lamp | kraz3d | 19:27 |
| ubottu | kraz3d: 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+) | 19:27 |

| w7u64xi7 | theadmin: please regarding installing the driver for my PCI card, I've found a readme file including the following only : http://pastebin.com/w3UVr5PS | 19:28 |
| w7u64xi7 | theadmin: so what shall I do ? | 19:28 |
| williammanda | hello folks | 19:29 |
| theadmin | w7u64xi7: Just what the readme file says | 19:29 |
| kraz3d | zykotick9: that doesn't exactly tell me if I need to uninstall apache first before proceeding with this, but i'll do it anyway to be safe | 19:29 |
| w7u64xi7 | theadmin: I am sorry, you mean to do it in terminal ? | 19:29 |
| zykotick9 | kraz3d: are you really meaning XAMP or something. Apache2 is part of Ubuntu's LAMP stack. | 19:29 |
| williammanda | question concerning the use of vaapi on sandy bridge in ubuntu... | 19:30 |
| theadmin | w7u64xi7: Yeah, just run "sudo -i", cd to where you unpacked the archive to and run those | 19:30 |
| kraz3d | zykotick9: yeah but I installed it and set it up alone first, i wasn't sure if that would be an issue | 19:30 |
| archo43 | xamp? | 19:30 |
| zykotick9 | kraz3d: if you are using some 3rd party LAMP/XAMP thing - it's not supported here (and is generally a bad idea). | 19:31 |
| OerHeks | !xamp | archo43 | 19:31 |
| skypce | hello , can you helpme with a easy postinst script? | 19:31 |
| zykotick9 | !xampp | 19:31 |
| ubottu | We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 19:31 |
| kraz3d | zykotick9: no i'm just using stand-alone apache, but I need to now install the rest of the package to enable sql/php | 19:31 |

| escott | ironhalik, its a method, but you need to match the backup method to the intended restore method. if there is a hardware failure then a disk image may not be the best backup, because you likely would not be restoring to the same system | 20:16 |
| auronandace | ironhalik: exactly, yes | 20:16 |
| AlessandroLable | think, are you there ? | 20:16 |
| ironhalik | cool, thx | 20:16 |
| playit | hey | 20:16 |
| auronandace | ironhalik: also note escott's comment about hardware failure | 20:17 |
| ironhalik | escott: its meant to preserve a working config | 20:17 |
| mr_os_ubuntu | escott thanks , yes lm flag is presnt , does this mean my cpu is 64 bit? | 20:17 |
| ironhalik | so if Ill be restoring it, It will hopefully be to the same exact drive | 20:17 |
| rymate1234 | hey | 20:17 |
| escott | ironhalik, there are other smaller potentially more flexible ways to do that. see !clone and etckeeper | 20:17 |
| playit | Is there a way to make it to where when you fullscreen an app there is a border of your background that the window can't go past? | 20:17 |
| ironhalik | !clone | 20:17 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 20:17 |
| rymate1234 | I'm having a problem with the OMGUbuntu site | 20:18 |
| playit | so that when I full screen an app i still see a little bit of my background | 20:18 |
| escott | mr_os_ubuntu, yes it is 64bit hardware | 20:18 |
| rymate1234 | all the pages but the home page throw a "can't establish database connection" error | 20:18 |
| mr_os_ubuntu | Bundle of thanks escott | 20:18 |
| rymate1234 | or some shit | 20:18 |
| playit | im using gnome 3.2 on ubuntu 11.10 | 20:18 |
| pangolin | rymate1234: that is not an Ubuntu issue. OMGubuntu is a separate entity. Also please mind your language | 20:19 |
| rakesh | hello abhisek are u there | 20:19 |
| rymate1234 | oh | 20:20 |
| rymate1234 | sorry | 20:20 |
| ironhalik | hmm, ok - but how will d handle cloning of a live drive? :> | 20:20 |
| ironhalik | dd* | 20:20 |
| kraz3d | Anyone here any good with MySQL? | 20:20 |
| escott | ironhalik, NEVER clone a mounted drive with dd | 20:20 |
| ironhalik | oh, ok :> | 20:21 |
| LjL | kraz3d: tried #mysql? | 20:21 |
| kraz3d | cool thanks | 20:21 |
| yanick_ | hi, what process if the (adobe) flash process in chrome? before, it was using npviewer.bin, but there is no such process anymore | 20:22 |
| yanick_ | s/if/is | 20:22 |
| escott | ironhalik, dd is not a very sophisticated solution. the better methods are: (A) a filesystem like btrfs which supports snapshots (B) tools like rsync that will copy files with permissions (C) git or other version control tools to save configuration files, also !clone | 20:22 |
| psusi | ironhalik, what do you mean by live? | 20:23 |
| auronandace | ironhalik: even better would be just backing up data, rather than a whole os | 20:23 |
| ironhalik | I think dd will work best for me | 20:24 |
| tapas | what's the recommended way of disabling services like apache2 or mysql or tomcat at boot time? | 20:24 |
| tapas | i'd like to start them manually when needed | 20:24 |
| ironhalik | Ive got time and drive space, and dd is simple :) | 20:24 |
| mr_os_ubuntu | hey mizo use this to install backtrack http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/09/install-backtrack-5-application-in.html | 20:24 |
| psusi | ironhalik, if you insist on doing a disk image instead of proper backup, at least use a tool that is decent at it, like fsarchiver, partclone, or partimage | 20:25 |
| auronandace | mr_os_ubuntu: we don't support backtrack here | 20:25 |
| psusi | dd is dumb and wastes time and space copying unused areas of the disk | 20:25 |
| reliability | hi | 20:26 |
| ironhalik | I can gzip dd on the fly, it'll cut all the empty space | 20:26 |
| auronandace | psusi: he wanted fool-proof (less can go wrong), rather than efficient | 20:26 |
| escott | ironhalik, i would strongly recommend you not use dd. you aren't going to be able to verify that your backup is restorable. it sounds really easy, but unless you have multiple copies of the exact same hardware you will never be able to test your restore process. With any other method restore is substantially easier to verify | 20:26 |
| reliability | When I try to install clementine ('sudo aptitude install clementine'), because of some version conflict, aptitude suggest to _remove_ libc6, which I consider a bad idea. How can I solve that? | 20:27 |
| ironhalik | I need to look into btrfs :) | 20:27 |
| auronandace | ironhalik: its not ready | 20:28 |
| hydrox24 | reliability: can you paste the error output into a pastebin website, then poste the link to the paste herre? | 20:28 |
| psusi | ironhalik, no, it won't since empty space is random garbage, not all zeroes | 20:28 |
| hydrox24 | reliability: try here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 20:29 |
| ironhalik | damn, seems like I really need some other solution :) | 20:30 |
| psusi | ironhalik, why do you not just want to use tar or dump to backup your files? makes it easy to verify and extract individual files instead of restoring the whole thing, and you can do incremental backups | 20:30 |
| reliability | hydrox24: ok, just a sec. | 20:31 |
| psusi | ironhalik, like I said, if you really want to do an image type backup, use partclone or fsarchiver, they are smart enough to skip the free space | 20:31 |
| === drownednumbers is now known as cheapcerulean | ||
| auronandace | ironhalik: it is a lot easier to just backup what you need (your data), it also encourages you to be more organised and operating system agnostic | 20:32 |
| reliability | hydrox24: http://paste.ubuntu.com/847693/ | 20:32 |
| escott | ironhalik, and think seriously about how you would verify that your backup is good and restorable. a backup won't help you much if it cant be restored | 20:32 |
| ironhalik | auronandace: Im doing this so I can mess up my system, and restore it with couple of commands - data backup would require full reinstall | 20:33 |
| ironhalik | escott: yeah, it seems Ill need a more dedicated solution for that :) | 20:33 |
| auronandace | ironhalik: why not use a vm and clone that? | 20:34 |

| Apollo | imnichol: An account that defined using AllowUsers | 21:01 |
| imnichol | Apollo Also, are you typing something like "ssh account@hostname.whatever"? | 21:01 |
| zykotick9 | tjayh913: find the string you need to use? no. | 21:01 |
| === bhunt|afk is now known as bhunt | ||
| imnichol | Or is it just "ssh hostname.whatever"? | 21:02 |
| Apollo | Using putty | 21:02 |
| === Shaun_ is now known as Shaun | ||
| tonyjkl | one other thing I notcied is the splash screen that is right before it goes into the text is not the right resolution e.g. really big as opposed to the normal one. | 21:02 |
| imnichol | Ok, I'm a little rusty, are you specifying the username to use in one of the things in putty? | 21:02 |
| Apollo | imnichol: so I setup PuTTy to connect to mydomain.website.org | 21:02 |
| tonyjkl | I've tried different Nvidia drivers with no luck | 21:02 |
| tonyjkl | it seems to be a common issue but with different solutions | 21:03 |
| tjayh913 | zykotick9: So I would assume that I need to reboot and record the exact choice that I want to boot with? | 21:03 |
| Apollo | Then, command windows comes up, ask for username | 21:03 |
| dr3mro | hello , is it possible to get totem > 3.0.1 in oneiric ? | 21:03 |
| zykotick9 | tjayh913: that's probably easiest yes. | 21:03 |
| Apollo | I gave it the username defined by AllowUsers | 21:03 |
| tonyjkl | I like icecream | 21:03 |
| thatkid | How do I transfer a .zip file to a USB device when I'm being forced to work in a "read-only file system"? | 21:03 |
| Apollo | Then it asks for password | 21:03 |
| cyberNode | I can not get mysql started on Ubuntu 10.04. Tried service mysql start (get error start: Job failed to start) | 21:03 |
| === sonic_ is now known as Guest42935 | ||
| tjayh913 | zykotick9: Thank you. | 21:03 |
| auronandace | !enter | Apollo | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Apollo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:03 |
| thatkid | Alternatively, how do I make it not a read-only file system? | 21:03 |
| cyberNode | service mysql status (mysql stop/waiting) | 21:04 |
| zykotick9 | thatkid: so long as the filesystem is "read only" there is nothing you can do. | 21:04 |
| OerHeks | thatkid no way | 21:04 |
| thatkid | So there is absolutely no way I can back up these files? I have root access, if that helps any | 21:04 |
| === Shaun_ is now known as Shaun | ||
| OerHeks | thatkid, if you have sufficient rights, you can. | 21:05 |
| _Marcus | thatkid: What are you trying to do? | 21:05 |
| Apollo | Imnichol: Any idea? | 21:05 |
| tonyjkl | OpenSuse installed just fine but I'll be dammed if I use OS, lol. just did it as a test | 21:05 |
| thatkid | Alright, so I was installing updates from the software center a few hours ago when my laptop crashed | 21:05 |
| AlanBell | thatkid: which is read only? the filesystem with the .zip on it or the destination usb drive? | 21:05 |
| thatkid | How do I find out? | 21:05 |
| tonyjkl | I'll try back at a less busy time unless someone can help? | 21:05 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| zykotick9 | AlanBell: that error only makes sense for the destination | 21:06 |
| thatkid | When I turn it back on, the screen is black. Eventually I found out the only way to do anything was through an old kernel, even as early as 0.0-15 works. I can't access wireless internet, my trackpad is ignored, and there is no sound. So I'm trying to back things up to a USB device and then I'm just going to go with a fresh install | 21:06 |
| AlanBell | right, so the USB device shouldn't be read only | 21:07 |
| thatkid | It doesnt appear to be | 21:07 |
| auronandace | tonyjkl: what's the issue? | 21:07 |
| amalgama | hello ppl.. 2 questions: 1. when typing ctrl+alt+Fx,is the gui still loaded?? if yes, is it possible to move to a terminal and get the gui unloaded(and ifyes, how to go back to X?)... 2.how can i get more than 7 virtual terminals in ubuntu? | 21:07 |
| AlanBell | ok, have you mounted the USB drive somewhere? | 21:08 |
| thatkid | Uh | 21:08 |
| ntr0py | Has someone here fixed the tiny-fonts problem with googleearth? | 21:08 |
| thatkid | Define mounted? I can access its contents | 21:08 |
| zykotick9 | amalgama: 1) yes Xorg is still running, alt+f7 (or f8) to get back. 2) not sure, but you might want to try screen instead | 21:08 |
| AlanBell | where in the filesystem is the usb device? /mnt/mydisk or /media/mydisk or something like that? | 21:09 |
| === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ | ||
| thatkid | wait | 21:09 |
| thatkid | it appears to be working just fine now | 21:09 |
| AlanBell | thatkid: did you boot from the USB device? | 21:09 |
| thatkid | and I don't even know what I did heh.. | 21:10 |
| AlanBell | oh good :) | 21:10 |

| EvilResistance | mr_os_ubuntu, i'm still on 11.04, but i would not move off of the stable releases just yet | 21:11 |
| auronandace | mr_os_ubuntu: can you wait till its released? | 21:11 |
| amalgama | zykotick9: ok ok.. i ll look for thanx for your help!!! | 21:11 |
| mr_os_ubuntu | no i can't wait i want to upgrade now | 21:11 |
| tonyjkl | auronandace: the first thing is its goes to the slpash but its not the right resolution then goes to the text and I can tty1 etc in from there | 21:11 |
| tonyjkl | with "startx" | 21:11 |
| auronandace | mr_os_ubuntu: thats not supported | 21:11 |

| mr_os_ubuntu | thanks auronandace oerHeks oh supported means? not commercially supported or what? | 21:12 |
| tonyjkl | with a ton of different solutions | 21:12 |
| auronandace | tonyjkl: sounds like a graphics issue to me | 21:13 |
| tonyjkl | that haven't worked for me especially since there isn't a "xorg.conf.failback" in /etc/X11 | 21:13 |
| Apollo | I have an OpenSSH server setup, but I do not want use a key to gain access. What is the setting in ssh-config to define the password for a User? | 21:13 |
| OerHeks | mr_os_ubuntu, it is alfa > beta stage, we cannot support it now, and that is the place to be | 21:13 |

| tonyjkl | zykotick9: no, what is that? | 21:14 |
| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | tonyjkl | 21:14 |
| ubottu | tonyjkl: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 21:14 |
| auronandace | !nomodeset | tonyjkl | 21:14 |
| zamuel | como etan todos | 21:14 |

| Apollo | I have an OpenSSH server setup, but I do not want use a key to gain access. What is the setting in ssh-config to define the password for a user? | 21:17 |
| Ben64 | Apollo: passwords work by default | 21:17 |
| Apollo | ben64: I have passwordAuthentication set to yes and when I try to tunnel in via Putty I keep getting access denied | 21:18 |
| Muelli | Apollo: well. I do think that your windows putty is the culprit. Please pastebin us /var/log/auth.log | 21:18 |
| donavan01 | anyone know of a program to compare two peices of source code for building a kernel | 21:19 |
| Muelli | hm donavan01? To compare code, one usually uses "diff". | 21:20 |
| zykotick9 | Apollo: from the ssh server (if you have local access, I'm assuming you do) try "ssh localhost" (DON'T USE SUDO) | 21:20 |
| gmo | hello | 21:21 |
| donavan01 | Meilli ... will that work for an entire kernel? is there anykind of gui for it to make editing easier? | 21:21 |
| ssta | Apollo: it's PasswordAuthentication (case matters) | 21:21 |
| gmo | I justed configured my xchat for the first time | 21:21 |
| reliability | When I try to install clementine ('sudo aptitude install clementine'), because of some version conflict, aptitude suggest to _remove_ libc6, which I consider a bad idea. How can I solve that? | 21:21 |
| Ben64 | ssta: it doesn't even need to be set by default | 21:21 |
| reliability | http://paste.ubuntu.com/847693/ | 21:21 |
| Muelli | donavan01: diff works for two entire kernels, but doesn't do anything wrt editing. GUIs fotr diff include kdiff3 | 21:21 |
| Apollo | ssta: It was originally commented out. I only removed the # | 21:21 |
| Myrtti | donavan01: diff, or if you want a graphical user interface, meld | 21:22 |
| ubuntu__girl | reliability make a backup of that file and then remove it | 21:22 |
| donavan01 | excellent thank you both | 21:22 |
| ubuntu__girl | simple :) | 21:22 |
| motoh | In my adventures to find a tty logger that isn't a teenager's hackjob, I have wound up looking at syslogd - can I mangle this utility into what I need? | 21:22 |
| ssta | Ben64: depends on how it was compiled, I'm not sure what the default is in ubuntu...I always set it explicitly anyway | 21:22 |
| Apollo | zykotick9: Connectiuon refused. I set it up on port 2802. even ssh localhost -p 2802 gives me a message | 21:23 |
| ubuntu__girl | motoh u need a keylooger? | 21:23 |
| Ben64 | Apollo: what message | 21:23 |
| motoh | ubuntu_girl: I need a way to recieve incoming data on a tty, timestamp it, and record it, preferrably to a csv. | 21:23 |
| zykotick9 | Apollo: well, you know it's not a password issue then. Good luck. | 21:23 |
| Apollo | ben64: the authenticity of host 'localhost info' can't be established | 21:23 |
| Ben64 | Apollo: can you pastebin the actual error | 21:24 |
| Apollo | ben64: then it give me the the ECDSA key fingerprint | 21:24 |
| reliability | ubuntu__girl: you actually suggest to let aptitude remove libc6? | 21:24 |
| Muelli | reliability: well. removing libc isn't a good thing to do, I'd say. Where do you get your package from? I.e. from which repository? | 21:25 |
| mizu_no_oto | I'm trying to get backlit keys working on my Asus G73SW running ubuntu 11.04 I've searched the internet and there are plenty of solutions, but most of them involve directories and files that simply don't exist on my system. Help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/847757/ | 21:25 |
| Apollo | ben64: pastebin.com/LKwp5eUj | 21:25 |
| zykotick9 | reliability: i'm assuming you are using some PPA to install this? I personally think removing libc6 might lead to some badness. | 21:25 |
| Ben64 | Apollo: type "y" and hit enter | 21:26 |
| ssta | why 2802 by the way? | 21:26 |
| beasty | question if i want to migrate from bash to zsh what steps do i need to take ? | 21:26 |
| Apollo | ben64: Permanently added to list of known hosts, then Write failed: broken pipe | 21:27 |
| zykotick9 | beasty: "chsh" | 21:27 |
| Ice_ | ^_^ | 21:27 |
| ssta | beasty: install zsh, change your degfault shell to zsh (chsh command) | 21:27 |
| ubuntu__girl | not sure how to do it ... maybe how to timestamp a file : NOW=$(date +"%F" ; mv file file.$NOW | 21:27 |
| Ben64 | Apollo: you should just remove and reinstall openssh-server, not sure what you did but its all broken | 21:27 |
| diverdude | if i do ./configure --prefix=installdir will all files whatsoever from this make be put in installdir? | 21:27 |
| ssta | Apollo: that's because you took too long probably....try again | 21:27 |
| ubuntu__girl | reliability my bad | 21:28 |
| Muelli | diverdude: that should be the case. Most build systems are okay, but some are broken and install outside the prefix | 21:28 |
| EvilResistance | diverdude, you're on mint right? | 21:28 |

| ssta | Apollo: there isn't a different password for login and ssh, they are the same | 21:31 |
| Muelli | Apollo: where "user" is the desired user. | 21:31 |

| h00k | !firewall | AlessandroLable | 21:33 |
| ubottu | AlessandroLable: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 21:33 |
| mizu_no_oto | hydrox24: nope, the only keys of that kind that work are the screen brightness up and down keys (Fn+ F5 and F6) | 21:33 |
| diverdude | EvilResistance: yeah | 21:33 |
| EvilResistance | !mint | diverdude | 21:33 |

| danutz | Hello, I have a problem connecting to my own ftp server , it gets stocked while saying..:retrieving files.... and then it says error retriving | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis_ | thatkid, if you mean programs you have installed.. no.. data files.. yes | 21:40 |
| thatkid | Well, I'm wondering if I'll have any trouble transferring files from my home/* folders to a USB device? | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis_ | thatkid, you may need to use root rights. | 21:40 |
| danileigh79 | thatkid: use sudo | 21:41 |
| thatkid | I'm already doing it just fine now, but I can't use both my mouse and a USB device at the same time and being able to use my trackpad would be nice- I know I'll be able to do that with a LiveCD | 21:41 |
| thatkid | Alright thanks | 21:41 |
| AlessandroLable | hook, thank you man | 21:41 |
| AlessandroLable | the channel works xD | 21:41 |
| tonyjkl | I'm curious whether if I were to install Windows and then install/dual boot Ubuntu if that would make a difference? | 21:41 |
| tonyjkl | any thoughts or solutions? | 21:41 |
| Dr_willis_ | install windows first tonsofpcs | 21:41 |
| Dr_willis_ | tonyjkl, | 21:41 |
| tonyjkl | right | 21:42 |
| tonyjkl | exactly | 21:42 |
| Dr_willis_ | but windows should have no affect on linux. | 21:42 |
| tonyjkl | I though if grub were to be different it might help with the Ubuntu boot | 21:42 |
| dipix | thatkid: drop to root environment by invoking "sudo -i", so you don't have to be typing "sudo and password" every few transfers | 21:42 |

| tootac | hi guys, I had two partition on my laptop. After some little mistake (wrong program) I accedetally started to formating my whole hd to fat32 when I recognized what I have done it formated about 2GB. I shut my laptop down and now it does not boot. After loggin in with puppy linux on USB I found that now I have one unallocated partition[i guess merged]. Is there any way for me to get into there and get files from my old windows [I stor | 21:45 |
| Fleg_ | zykotick9: can try now... | 21:45 |

| brightspark | urfr332gO, it was suggested that he try fedora; given that he wants a stable distro and is sitting on ubuntu i suggested debian instead. | 21:59 |
| EvilResistance | brightspark, ubuntu is pretty stable | 22:00 |

| brightspark | Technicus, perhaps there is a hardware problem? If the computer has no idea it is connected, you may not get any better results from tool to tool. I am not an expert, though. | 22:04 |

| samuel | **installing | 22:49 |
| benfrancis | just re-reading the wiki and I think I need to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and /etc/pm/config.d/modules to blacklist modules | 22:49 |
| benfrancis | but it also says "install the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic or, if you have the pae kernel installed, the linux-backports-modules-cw-3.2-oneiric-generic-pae package" and neither work | 22:49 |
| Daekdroom | Pikkachu, it's possible to install Gnome Shell or Gnome fallback (with the oldschool panel). | 22:49 |
| Pikkachu | Daekdroom: ok so it's just that it's part of it | 22:49 |

| Pikkachu | Daekdroom: got to memorize, alt+right click.... | 22:52 |
| mongy | Pikkachu: the layout will be more like gnome2. I'd recommend #xubuntu if you want that sort of thing | 22:52 |
| lubuntuser777 | How do I instruct my ubuntu to stop all connection to the internet if the VPN disconnect? Anyone please.. | 22:53 |
| Pikkachu | mongy: but xubuntu uses xfce | 22:53 |
| mongy | Pikkachu: yes. and? | 22:53 |
| samuel | can anyone shed any light on this? i have been trying to google for it, but i'm at a loss as to how to phrase it :/ it appears that the hard drive has most of the available space on a partition for which the installer cannot detect how much free space there is, never seen this before and would love someone elses input please | 22:53 |
| Pikkachu | mongy: you answer | 22:53 |
| mongy | Pikkachu: just giving you an opinion from a fellow gnome2 user | 22:53 |
| Pikkachu | mongy: I use gnome, why are you telling me to use xfce, it'll bring cube and panels back in oneiric? | 22:54 |
| benfrancis | OK, I'm going to reboot and see if it works. Thanks hiexpo | 22:54 |
| sun_devil | Does anyone know how to use visudo for group commands? | 22:54 |
| hiexpo | benfrancis, did you install ubuntu or are you running it live ? | 22:54 |
| mongy | Pikkachu: if you want cube then install compiz, if you want a panel, there is one, always was | 22:54 |
| Pikkachu | Daekdroom: wait, what's the difference between the fallback package and gnome shell? | 22:54 |
| samuel | pikkachu fallback is primarily for users that cannot have graphic acceleration required to power gnome shell | 22:55 |
| Daekdroom | Pikkachu, huh.. GNOME Shell uses graphical acceleration and the fallback package resembles GNOME 2 and doesn't? | 22:55 |
| samuel | snap! | 22:55 |
| Pikkachu | mongy: installing compiz doesn't create a cube like that in the video, you need to configure it. As Daekdroom said, unity does not support cubes (aka unity 3d == compiz plugin iirc) | 22:55 |
| hiexpo | !gnome2 | 22:56 |
| ubottu | The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 22:56 |
| Pikkachu | !notunity | 22:56 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 22:56 |
| mongy | Pikkachu: if confuring anything is too much then, you are right. don't install compiz and don't enable cube. | 22:56 |
| mongy | configuring* | 22:57 |
| benfrancis | hiexpo: It worked! | 22:57 |
| Pikkachu | mongy: it was already configured and working, see the video | 22:57 |
| Pikkachu | mongy: upgrade broke it | 22:57 |
| hiexpo | benfrancis, figured it would needed to blacklist old one | 22:57 |
| mongy | Pikkachu: you are talking about unity or shell, I am not | 22:57 |
| benfrancis | hiexpo: Yeah, my fault for not reading the instructions properly :) | 22:57 |
| Pikkachu | mongy: can we reset? I'm lost | 22:58 |
| hiexpo | benfrancis, no big but that is important when changing drivers or kernels | 22:58 |
| * benfrancis RTFMs himself :) | 22:58 | |

| Pikkachu | Daekdroom: you mean ' GNOME Shell uses graphical acceleration and the fallback package resembles GNOME 2?' (no ' and doesn't') | 22:59 |
| Pikkachu | ? | 22:59 |
| mongy | Pikkachu: sorry, I don't use unity/shell, but I do still use compiz and it works fine | 22:59 |
| Daekdroom | Pikkachu, Gnome fallback does not need graphical acceleration (but you might use compiz with it) | 23:00 |

| dRounse | donsd try mixing the colors | 23:08 |
| Migi32 | purplefool: not much. I'm not sure what I can do. | 23:08 |
| OerHeks | color refers to dual channel | 23:08 |
| cypher-neo | Migi32, purplefool, I'm very interested in this. I had the same thing happen to me on my desktop a couple weeks ago, shortly after an update. I have also not been able to make headway in fixing it. | 23:09 |

| dRounse | Ojol you need a mail server, which is available from the ubuntu sercer cd also if they send mail while your server is down then it is gone forever unless you have it going to two places | 23:10 |
| donsd | OerHeks, My ram is suppose to be dual channels. | 23:10 |
| dRounse | anyone know anything about the goflex home nas? | 23:11 |
| purplefool | Migi32, hmmmm...had the same problem (thus my visit here now) and could not correct it. was with an onboard graphic card and now am trying to use a real bought card...was hoping you had tried something i hadn't. | 23:11 |
| Migi32 | purplefool & cypher-neo: do you have a windows or mac or other OS to test if it's hardware-related or software-related? | 23:12 |
| Migi32 | I don't, unfortunately... | 23:12 |
| shade34331 | is there a way to get to the NM-connections editor through terminal? | 23:13 |

| zykotick9 | Random832: i know | 23:49 |
| blud | FreeMem: it can't be an issue with the tv... I dont't think, because when I do xrandr there is no vga out even seen in ubuntu. The laptop is not sending a signal | 23:49 |
| Random832 | also how do i enable middle button emulation | 23:49 |
| hiexpo | Random832, not in 10.10 let me find it as a tarball | 23:50 |
| FreeMem | can your TV go to another VGA on another computer/laptop (not the one in question) | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | Random832: see the ubottu !info touchpad-indicator above | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | blud, we need more info, what vo | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | blud, we need more info, what videocard do you use, or better what laptop ? | 23:50 |
| blud | Also, when i do xrandr --output VGA is says xrandr: warning: output VGA not found; ignoring | 23:50 |
| hiexpo | Random832, so let me make sure i understand right you want to disable your laptop touchpad right ? | 23:50 |
| zykotick9 | blud: does the laptop have some keycombination to enable/disable video out? | 23:50 |
| Random832 | hiexpo: no. I want to disable tap to click | 23:51 |
| blud | I use Intel 82852/855GM integrated | 23:51 |
| OerHeks | zykotick9, +1 | 23:51 |
| FreeMem | other wise what I am trying to do is eliinate your VGA card being burned up on the VGA out. by knowing the TV works or not | 23:51 |
| Random832 | the touchpad is currently operating in some sort of legacy compatibility mode that has tap-to-click hardcoded on | 23:51 |
| Random832 | and does not respond to the ordinary methods of disabling tap to click | 23:51 |

| FreeMem | blud: that's telling you the VGA isn't found.. then it isn't found. Eliminate the TV being the problem | 23:52 |
| FreeMem | try a real vga | 23:52 |
| Random832 | Ultimately it's not an issue stopping me from switching to ubuntu, since i get the same behavior on windows, but it's really irritating | 23:52 |
| FreeMem | or another TV | 23:52 |
| hiexpo | Random832, on laptop > built in mouse > and the tap to click does not work right ? are you useing an usb mouse ? | 23:52 |
| Random832 | no, i'm using the built in mouse, and just living with the annoyance now | 23:53 |
| blud | zykotick9: yeah fn-f7, if i press it, the laptop screen goes dark, but the tv still receives no signal. and no matter how many times i do that the tv wont receive a signal. Also, i cant get the screen back on the laptop and i have to reboot | 23:53 |
| Random832 | i would LIKE to have it work properly | 23:53 |
| Random832 | I don't understand what's complex about the situation I have explained | 23:53 |
| zykotick9 | blud: yuck. well, good luck! | 23:53 |
| FreeMem | blud, uninstall and reinstall your video drivers then | 23:53 |
| Random832 | ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Mouse id=12[slave pointer (2)] | 23:53 |
| Random832 | ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=13[slave pointer (2)] | 23:53 |
| FreeMem | blud seriously | 23:53 |
| FreeMem | either eliminate the hardware problem or the software | 23:54 |
| Random832 | It is showing up as two devices. Only the generic "PS/2 Mouse" one is properly working | 23:54 |
| hiexpo | Random832, well i had the same issue but i wanted to disable the touchpad > so different strokes for different folks I use a usb mouse | 23:54 |
| blud | FreeMem: its not the hardware, i know the tv is fine, i have hooked up windows laptops to it recently and they work fine | 23:54 |
| blud | I mean, its not the TV part of the hardware | 23:54 |
| OerHeks | Random832, multi touch/gestures .. maybe you better join #Ubuntu-touch | 23:54 |
| blud | conceivably it could still be the video card in the laptop | 23:54 |
| FreeMem | if you know it ain't the hardware then download your drivers for your video card | 23:54 |
| blud | i dont know how to do that | 23:54 |
| FreeMem | uninstall, reboot, reinstall | 23:54 |
| blud | how do i do that | 23:54 |
| Random832 | hiexpo: I can disable the touchpad itself with fn-f8 | 23:55 |
| FreeMem | or if it's nvidia just install again | 23:55 |
| Random832 | OerHeks: this is not a touch screen, it is an ALPS GlidePoint. | 23:55 |
| Random832 | OerHeks: Mouse | 23:55 |
| FreeMem | replace your files | 23:55 |
| FreeMem | oil your computer hinges | 23:55 |
| OerHeks | Random832, ah, not a touchpad | 23:55 |
| blud | my current driver is apparently "i915" | 23:55 |
| amalgama | hello ppl.. is it possible to makethe console support other languages?? i press ctrl+alt+f1, but the console that comes up doesnt recognise my language.. and also i dont knowhow to change the language in which i type.. | 23:56 |
| Random832 | I think "touchpad" can refer to two different things. | 23:56 |
| blud | how do i (re) install the video driver? | 23:56 |
| jgcampbell300 | can 11.10 be used with out gnome 3 ... i like the gui in 10.4 better | 23:56 |
| FreeMem | blud: Intel Linux graphics Driver? | 23:56 |
| exutux | amalgama: sudo loadkeys xx wher xx is uk for example | 23:56 |
| zykotick9 | blud: VERY good question, i'd have no idea for intel... | 23:57 |
| blud | FreeMem: well I guess, my video card is the 855GM intel intergrated graphics, and my current driver is "i915" | 23:57 |
