| playit | ikonia, the username on the other ubuntu computer is different | 00:06 |

| god-zotac | rootEth:: if its an ubuntu derivative i wouldn't worry too much about it, it shouldn't be very hard to master it as the entire OS has several different options for management both cli/gui | 00:23 |
| god-zotac | rootEth:: i'd probably touch up on things like regex, sed, vi/vim, nano, emacs, etc.. basic things like that always come in most important when doing admin jobs. | 00:24 |

| RenatoSilva | *from | 00:25 |

| urfr332gO | RenatoSilva, if you have errors what makes you think you have a install? | 00:27 |

| tomvolek | I am trying to copy a file froma remote host ot my local direcotry using ssh as follows: scp tomvolek@remote_host:foo /home/tom I do see the file foo on the remote host, but the command sayd , No such file or directory | 00:27 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: the one which comes with oneiric | 00:28 |
| RenatoSilva | urfr332gO: wat | 00:28 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: does ls /dev show anything? | 00:29 |
| WoC | tomvolek the remote file is in the home directory of the user tomvolek ? - Not in a sub dir, right ? | 00:29 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: trying to install again...didn`t get 141 error code this time... let`s see if it works | 00:29 |
| tomvolek | Woc, no the remote file is on a different users home directry, which I have ssh crudential to longinto using that user id , | 00:29 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: /dev/sda exists | 00:29 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: you kinda confuse me, if you are installing ubuntu, why do you need to manually install grub via cli? | 00:30 |
| urfr332gO | RenatoSilva, you have errors or at least one on the install what makes you think it will it will run even with grub, you would have to boot to ubuntu to get windows in grub. | 00:30 |
| WoC | tomvolek and the local dir /home/rom also exists ? | 00:30 |
| tomvolek | yes they do | 00:30 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: I could mount /dev/sda1 (win7) and sda2 (reiserfs, previous installation junk) | 00:30 |
| tomvolek | tomvolek exists on the remote host .. not on my local host | 00:30 |
| WoC | tomvolek check if the file foo has a trailing space | 00:30 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: I said the reason right below initial message | 00:30 |
| urfr332gO | RenatoSilva, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading | 00:31 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: [00:25] <RenatoSilva> I need at least to install grub successfully so I get access back to windows | 00:31 |
| Jordan_U | RenatoSilva: That's not how you install grub from a LiveCD, and there are easier ways of just restoring Windows' abibility to boot. What happens when you try to boot the machine now? | 00:31 |
| tomvolek | its a test file, and i created it with touch foo | 00:31 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: you don't have to reinstall grub to get access back to windows, just pop the windows install disc in and repair your install and then it will boot | 00:31 |
| WoC | try using scp with the -v option | 00:31 |
| tomvolek | ok, I be right back | 00:31 |
| WoC | gives more details | 00:32 |
| RenatoSilva | Jordan_U: did you read all my messages on the isse | 00:32 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: and then after you get to your windows to do your work, just recreate the usb thumb drive correctly, and do a typical ubuntu install | 00:32 |
| mjbermea | Guys I need help. Whenever I try to mount my iPhone 3GS on Ubuntu 10.10 it gives me this:Unhandled Lockdown error (-4). What does that mean? | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | RenatoSilva: All of your messages since you most recently joined the channel, yes. | 00:32 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: my cd drive is not working properly, sudo grub-install would be much easier regardless | 00:33 |
| WoC | mjbermea u have a pin set and security options on; on your iphone ? | 00:33 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: the usb stick is ok | 00:33 |
| mjbermea | WoC: I have no PIN set. | 00:33 |
| urfr332gO | RenatoSilva, yeah if that was the command it would be, try relaxing and actually getting help, and not questioning the ones helping you. :) | 00:34 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: now I filled user settings, waiting to see what will happen | 00:34 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: why not just reinstall ubuntu, and let it keep your windows partition, and install the boot loader from the installer. i don't understand why you are going about it the dirty way | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | RenatoSilva: You can also install an MS-Syle mbr from the Ubuntu LiveCD, but I'd like to know more information about why Windows can't boot now so that I'm more confident that will solve the problem. | 00:34 |
| WoC | mjbermea check your dmesg after you hook up the iphone | 00:35 |
| shyam | helo | 00:35 |
| shyam | helo | 00:35 |
| god-zotac | Jordan_U:: because he overwrote the MS bootloader with a failed grub install it seems | 00:35 |
| mjbermea | dmesg in Terminal? | 00:35 |
| RenatoSilva | Jordan_U: I'm not sure how mbr got overwritten but surely was in one of the times I tried to install it | 00:35 |
| WoC | Yes, mjbermea | 00:35 |
| Jordan_U | RenatoSilva: What happens currently when you try to boot? | 00:35 |
| RenatoSilva | Jordan_U: oh sorry I'm ignoring you, really sorry you and urfr332gO | 00:36 |
| god-zotac | "NTLDR.DLL missing" ? | 00:36 |
| RenatoSilva | Jordan_U: oh sorry doesn't work in webchat anyway | 00:36 |
| mjbermea | WoC: I'm new to using the Terminal. So I don't know what the output says. | 00:36 |
| tomvolek | WoC I tried it with -x option, and i see i am being connected to remote host,autheticated, and then it says cant find file, eventhough the file is in the remote home directory | 00:36 |
| WoC | mjbermea should be in the end, anything related to usb or iphone | 00:36 |

| urfr332gO | Jordan_U, lol hour the best help on here in this area oh well. :) | 00:38 |
| Nadd | hi guys | 00:38 |
| urfr332gO | your* | 00:38 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: not having swap and reiserfs not ext4, then I tried a new install and set up that in custom option, then it froze in some point | 00:38 |
| mjbermea | WoC: Sent | 00:38 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: then I tried again and it froze in some other point | 00:38 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: for future reference, you might want to consider creating a /home partition seperate from / so you can store your personalized settings and not format /home each time.. then doing a fresh install is much easier and more convenient | 00:38 |
| WoC | mjbermea try a different usb port | 00:39 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: I've backed up all I wanted to the ntfs partition (sda3) | 00:39 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: let me check if it froze again | 00:40 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: what im saying will prevent you from needing to backup/restore your files by hand each time.. just create /home on a seperate partition and it makes life much easier in the event you want to zap the entire OS and install fresh | 00:40 |
| _cb | how do I select a folder as a playlist in banshee? | 00:40 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: getting file 57 of 61, I think it's downloading packages... | 00:40 |
| mjbermea | WoC: When I plug it in to a different USB port, it doesn't even detect it this time. | 00:40 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: what I've backed up is pretty much those settings I told you earlier | 00:41 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: i understand that, but having /home as a subdirectory on the same partition as / isn't handy when you want to do a fresh install/reinstall and for the most part it is a good practice to have /home on its own partition | 00:41 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: just a gnome2 theme, an emerald theme, settings for terminal and gedit | 00:41 |
| WoC | mjbermea there may be some issue with your iphone then, like the usb connector may be dirty/corroded | 00:42 |
| god-zotac | see, all that is stored in your /home/username | 00:42 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: handy? | 00:42 |
| kpas_ | How would one get rid of the lower gnome menu in gnome classic | 00:42 |
| mjbermea | WoC: It works fine on Windows and other Linux distros. | 00:42 |
| god-zotac | you could have kept all that and just put that /home partition in your new installs fstab, without formating it during install | 00:42 |
| RenatoSilva | this webchat is very confusing! | 00:42 |
| WoC | mjbermea then i would think you may be lacking a kernel module | 00:43 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: I don't keep data neither in /home nor in / at all | 00:43 |
| WoC | mjbermea i dont use a iphone myself | 00:43 |
| mjbermea | libimobiledevice | 00:43 |
| mjbermea | ? | 00:43 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: my data is stored in sda3 | 00:43 |
| mjbermea | WoC: ^ | 00:43 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: "downloading language pack (607:00 remaining)" | 00:44 |
| WoC | mjbermea i think im out of ideas, as i said, never used a iphone myself | 00:44 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: 607 minutes? ã.ã | 00:44 |
| aguitel | how to know my partitions mounted in terminal? | 00:45 |
| WoC | aguitel; mount | 00:45 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: you don't keep data in neither /home nor in /? where do you keep it then? and if you don't have it in home then how do you have your $HOME themes/terminal settings configured to load from somewhere other than the default /home/username/.config | 00:45 |
| mjbermea | WoC: Alright. :) Let me try downloading the libimobiledevice module because it's reported in a bug. | 00:45 |
| WoC | mjbermea best of luck, it sounds like a good plan | 00:46 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: my data is stored in sda3 | 00:46 |
| aguitel | WoC, /home partition appears unmounted in gparted ,is this correct? | 00:46 |
| mjbermea | WoC: Thanks for your help. | 00:46 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: and where is sda3 mounted? | 00:47 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: it doesn't matter | 00:47 |
| WoC | aguitel check with 'mount' in a terminal window | 00:47 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: for the most part, if you use your /home you can mount it on a fresh install keeping your old settings, and when you login you wont have to do anything, all your settings will be just like they was in your previous install | 00:47 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: I don't really have settings/data to save from old installation, just those few I told you, and they're now in sda3 which is my ntfs data partition | 00:47 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: ok, do it however you wish.. but for future reference you may want to consider a /home partition apart from the / (root) partition | 00:48 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: 204:36 remaining, crazy... | 00:48 |
| aguitel | WoC, see that,http://paste.pocoo.org/show/553727/ | 00:48 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: why exactly except for looking cool? | 00:49 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: is your internet connection slow? | 00:49 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: looking cool? its nothing about looking cool, its handy to not have to reconfigure every single thing you have, and to keep your personal files, web browser settings, terminal settings, themes, downloaded files, etc | 00:49 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: connection seems ok | 00:49 |
| god-zotac | RenatoSilva:: what i am saying is the things in /home are usually not distro / release dependent.. they are the settings that are applied to every application upon launch / login to y our desktop environment, login shell, etc | 00:50 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: if I was about to do something that could erase that data, I'd back it up, which I already did... I don't really see your point. You may like a partition for /home but I don't need it | 00:50 |
| god-zotac | my point is to carry over your settings and not need to worry about losing them when doing a new install | 00:51 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: ok it would not be distro/release dependant except it becomes junk over the time | 00:51 |
| god-zotac | another good point is you can mount the /home partition over a network and keep your same setup across different machines on your network, even ones using different distributions | 00:51 |
| god-zotac | what becomes junk about it? | 00:52 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: this is why I'm starting from scratch after years, I have my home pretty clean but can't speak of everything else, so to be sure I'll overwrite everything from scratch | 00:52 |
| Legoleader | hi there | 00:52 |
| god-zotac | im done with this conversation, anyone who has any linux experience at all will tell you that having /home on its own partition is a good idea, i see no reason that it is not a good idea | 00:52 |
| haux | If I am partitioning a hard drive that will not be used to run any OS, should I still format it at MBR, or should I do GUID? | 00:52 |
| god-zotac | you can control your HD usage better also | 00:52 |
| RenatoSilva | god-zotac: unfortunately this is something you need to do to be reasonably sure of having a clean system, yet in 2012 | 00:52 |

| Legoleader | Is it possible to change the font formatting in ubuntu | 00:56 |
| RenatoSilva | haux: format it as MBR? what do you really mean? | 00:58 |
| WoC | haux i would still use MBR for the aprtition table, for compabilty assurance | 00:58 |
| WoC | s/aprtition/partition/ | 00:59 |
| RenatoSilva | haux: you don't need to put a bootloader on it if it's a data-only hard drive | 00:59 |
| haux | RenatoSilva, When you format a drive in Dist Utility, it has a few options to select from. MBR, GUID, None, or Apple. | 00:59 |
| haux | *Disk | 00:59 |
| Legoleader | is it possible to add more fonts to the system like windows? | 00:59 |
| haux | Thanks WoC | 00:59 |
| RenatoSilva | MBR | 00:59 |
| WoC | np haux | 00:59 |
| RenatoSilva | Legoleader: yes | 00:59 |
| WoC | haux maybe one day you need to mount that disk in some older machine, using MBR will ensure you can | 01:00 |
| Legoleader | Where can I find fonts and how to add them? | 01:00 |
| haux | Another question I have but it's unrelated to Ubuntu, the people in ##hardware aren't being particularly responsive at the moment. I was wondering if a lot of cracking noises coming from a hard drive during read/write is considered normal noise? | 01:00 |

| WoC | haux is that a scsi drive ? | 01:01 |

| maniX | hello friends, i am using ubuntu 0n hp-g6-1219tu laptop. It has a broadcom 4313 wireless card installed on it. I have installed broadcom STA drivers to it. I have made the wifi to work my blacklisting bcma and brcmsmac modules. But the bluetooth is not working. Please help me someone | 01:01 |

| WoC | some brands are making more sounds than others... | 01:02 |
| RenatoSilva | haux: not sure though | 01:02 |
| RenatoSilva | haux: barracuda? | 01:02 |
| haux | Got it a month ago | 01:02 |
| celltech | Told 11.10 to stop with the updates and stop telling me. What happens when I restart? Update screen always shows up... Why won't it stop | 01:02 |
| RenatoSilva | haux: do you speak portuguese? | 01:02 |
| WoC | heh, ok :) as long as the sounds are kind of snappy it should be ok | 01:02 |
| haux | It's like a staticy noise, *shrug* | 01:03 |
| haux | Anyway, thanks for the help! | 01:03 |

| gmachine_24 | Hi. I am about to upgrade my Ubuntu on a dual-boot (win7) machine. I am NOT going to do an upgrade - going to do a fresh install. Should I boot from a live CD and wipe out the Ubuntu partitions ... and then install into the open/unused space? Or will there be a choice when installing to use the area where Ubuntu is currently installed. Thx. | 01:21 |
| urfr332gO | InTrouble, if you do it enough they will ban you and it actually will stop some from helping you | 01:21 |
| csiek | yes thanks to PXE | 01:21 |
| InTrouble | urfr332gO: I don't care your bans for personal reasons either if that's the reason I can't use my original nick | 01:21 |
| h0udini | im using 11.10 | 01:21 |
| h0udini | can i update to 12.04 ? | 01:21 |
| aeon-ltd | no | 01:22 |
| ThePendulum | gmachine_24: When you're installing Ubuntu (11.10?), you'll get the option to replace your old Ubuntun installation with the new one, so that's the option you need :) | 01:22 |
| csiek | ThePendulum see the LTSP project | 01:22 |
| urfr332gO | InTrouble, I can't ban you lol. and have no personal vendetta either. | 01:22 |

| maniX | gr33n7007h: its wl only, cause i already tried doing as the readme.txt instructed. | 01:22 |
| InTrouble | urfr332gO: why can't you just ignore me then? well, I know why | 01:22 |
| gmachine_24 | ThePendulum, thanks. So that will be a complete new install, right? Because, as I said, I do not want to do an upgrade. That has failed me. | 01:22 |
| WebDawg | What is the difference between 10.04.1 and 10.04.4? | 01:23 |
| h0udini | ok Thanx | 01:23 |
| gmachine_24 | about .3 | 01:23 |
| InTrouble | aeon-ltd: people may say non-LTSes are kind of betas | 01:23 |
| WebDawg | gmachine_24, would an aptitude update turn .1 into .4? | 01:23 |
| ThePendulum | gmachine_24: Yep, it should wipe out your old install completely | 01:23 |

| BrandonBolton | gmachine_24, I am trying to share the internet connection from my netbook running 10.04 to a XP desktop so I can do updates. I don't want to have an internet cord going across my living room (kinda a safety hazard). | 01:28 |
| gmachine_24 | BrandonBolton: I'm assuming you don't have a router. | 01:29 |
| ThePendulum | gmachine_24: That's correct, so basically you could conclude that they consider KDE doomed and are deadset on Unity on Gnome 3+ | 01:29 |
| gmachine_24 | ThePendulum: That's unfortunate. Usually more is better. | 01:29 |

| BrandonBolton | y0om4, You could do a virtual machine of Windows. You could also try and install Wine and then Install Silverlight through that. | 01:37 |
| y0om4 | what about hulu | 01:37 |

Whenever I try to use the Software Center to install something I want it will give the usual install dialogue, prompt me for my authentication and such, displaying the "Installing..." message for roughly half a second and then totally stop and just sit there. After which, if I try again, it does the same thing. Any ideas on | 01:42 |
| baggy | how I can fix this? | 01:42 |

| SillyTalker | when i tried that last time i got a really crappy gnome version | 02:20 |
| goodtime | for the plasma gui | 02:20 |
| === Gskellig|away is now known as gskellig|mobile | ||
| SillyTalker | whatever i tried, i couldnt get the regular old gnome i'm used to | 02:20 |
| pappagrizly | i dont have access to intnernet at all on linux so i cant download any thing on it | 02:20 |
| goodtime | the gnome is lacking | 02:21 |
| SillyTalker | i installed xubuntu-desktop and used that in the end | 02:21 |
| goodtime | how did it run | 02:21 |
| w0uld | Is there a way to add a ssh key to my login keychain so that it unlocks automatically during login? I seem to remember this being prompted to do this in versions around the time of the last LTS release but that doesn't seem to be true in 11.10. Google has been no help. | 02:21 |
| SillyTalker | xubuntu-desktop? fine of course | 02:21 |
| goodtime | cool | 02:21 |
| SillyTalker | not what i want but i can live with it | 02:21 |
| goodtime | right right | 02:22 |
| Flip_ | can anyone shed light on RAID1 Ubuntu Server LTS with gnome desktop update | 02:22 |
| razor85 | How do I use VNC with another user other than root? I need to connect to VNC with normal user privelegies and not root. | 02:22 |
| SillyTalker | ok i think its time to give up | 02:22 |
| LL2|Android | It doesn't suprise me that this channel has many, many more users than ##windows | 02:22 |
| SillyTalker | appernatly its no longer possible to connect to my wifi network from CLI | 02:22 |
| goodtime | hahaha windows | 02:22 |
| SillyTalker | and theres not documentation to be found | 02:23 |
| Flip_ | windows - who said that | 02:23 |
| Flip_ | lol | 02:23 |

| goodtime | thats windows for ya | 02:23 |
| goodtime | hahaha i formated my hdd to linux and now i cant install win7 pro | 02:24 |
| Flip_ | i got the raid to sync but it won't mount in my gui | 02:24 |
| Kokkopokko | hahahah | 02:24 |
| Flip_ | do i need to the hdd's are formated GUID indiv and the RAID has no partition | 02:25 |
| goodtime | i could use gparted i guess but i dont care for the distro | 02:25 |
| Flip_ | can't put GUID backon the sunc drives | 02:25 |
| Flip_ | sync | 02:25 |
| Flip_ | I tried free space | 02:25 |
| Flip_ | Any ideas on RAID 1 | 02:25 |
| goodtime | idk Flip_ | 02:26 |
| Flip_ | i suck at CLI - still learning | 02:26 |
| Flip_ | yeah | 02:26 |
| goodtime | me too | 02:26 |
| goodtime | i do ok sometimes | 02:26 |
| Flip_ | I'm getting better - I started out with DOS back in the 90's never got a linux machine until about 3 years ago | 02:26 |
| goodtime | dos is cool | 02:27 |
| RenatoSilva | hi all, how to add a ntfs partition to be mounted automatically without editing fstab directly in oneiric? | 02:27 |
| Flip_ | Finding out how much DOS blows with Terminal LOL | 02:27 |
| goodtime | hahaha | 02:27 |
| goodtime | i might install a dos emulator | 02:28 |
| Flip_ | oh well, I got time to learn. Guess learn by error. | 02:28 |
| goodtime | just to put a feather in my cap | 02:28 |
| Flip_ | The only thing I like about DOS is a few of the networking commands like ARP and netsh | 02:29 |
| LL2|Android | When I see someone ask "how do I uninstall *insert linux distro or linux based os here*?" here | 02:29 |
| LL2|Android | I should just say "open bash, and type in 'sudo rm -rf /'" | 02:29 |
| LL2|Android | "and when it asks for your password, enter it" | 02:30 |
| LL2|Android | :P | 02:30 |
| SillyTalker | so does anyone know how to connect to my wifinetwork from CLI? | 02:30 |

| rattatoue | SillyTalker, private message, if your on xchat look on the left. | 02:31 |
| * dlentz stops entering his password | 02:31 | |
| SillyTalker | LL2|Android, its not ok to give harmfull advice here, and it does NOT make you look cool..... at all.... | 02:31 |
| dlentz | it's fairly obvious s/he was joking | 02:32 |
| LL2|Android | Yeah, as dlentz says, it was indeed a joke | 02:32 |
| blud | i just did what that guy said and now all my stuff is gone | 02:32 |
| blud | lol jk | 02:32 |
| LL2|Android | Though it would kinda answer their question, tbh | 02:33 |
| w0uld | RenatoSilva, you mean when you plug in a USB device with a NTFS partition? | 02:33 |
| blud | so um, im trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 and it says Could not calculate the upgrade... | 02:33 |
| blud | it says unable to correct problems you have held broken packages | 02:34 |
| blud | how can i fix this?\ | 02:34 |
| RenatoSilva | w0uld: no it's on the hdd | 02:34 |
| LL2|Android | Did you try 'apt-get update' | 02:34 |
| rattatoue | blud, try sudo apt-get -f install first followed by sudo dpkg --configure -a, then try to do the upgrade | 02:34 |
| dakis | When will it end? When will the United States of America move beyond this obscene blemish in its short history? How many more must be violated? How many more relationships handicapped by the male's heavy psychological burden and by his sensual-sexual inadequacy? | 02:34 |
| LL2|Android | Actually | 02:34 |
| goodtime | hahaha try apt-get install upgrade it might workfor you blud | 02:35 |
| LL2|Android | Try 'apt-get check' | 02:35 |
| Uncle_Fester | i have a problem | 02:35 |
| LL2|Android | Lol goodtime | 02:35 |
| goodtime | hahaha | 02:35 |
| dlentz | !ask | Uncle_Fester | 02:35 |
| ubottu | Uncle_Fester: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 02:35 |
| Uncle_Fester | how do i navigate to my virtual c in wine? i'm using ubuntu 11.10 | 02:35 |
| RenatoSilva | who were talking to me? | 02:35 |
| blud | goodtime: it says Unable to locate package upgrade if i do that | 02:35 |
| Uncle_Fester | guess i dont know proper ediquit | 02:36 |
| LL2|Android | dlentz: does !ask>username work too? | 02:36 |
| * dlentz shrugs | 02:36 | |
| goodtime | sorry to hear blud | 02:36 |
| LL2|Android | I see why it uses the pipe, as a reference to bash stuff, but just wondering | 02:36 |
| c_smith_ | yet, s/he shouldn't have even been joking about it, as it's the equivellant of joking about murder, as "sudo rm -r /" kills the Unix/Unix-like OS currently running, essentially you are murdering it. | 02:36 |
| geaek | heyy | 02:36 |
| dlentz | Uncle_Fester, are you asking what folder is your C drive? | 02:36 |
| rattatoue | blud, have you added any ppas? | 02:37 |
| LL2|Android | c_smith_: see !danger | 02:37 |
| blud | yes some custom intel driver, i been trying to figure out how to remove it | 02:37 |
| Uncle_Fester | in older ubuntu i could just navigate to virtual c and uninstall a program | 02:37 |
| blud | i have ppa-purge but i dont dseem to be able to figure out how to use it | 02:37 |
| Uncle_Fester | now i cvant | 02:37 |
| c_smith_ | LL2|Android: I did, I was just saying what the results of it is in essence. | 02:38 |
| Uncle_Fester | what i'm trying to do is uninstall a program that i have in wine. | 02:38 |
| rattatoue | blud, sudo apt-get install ppa-purge, then sudo ppa-purge whateverthenameoftheppawas | 02:38 |
| c_smith_ | Uncle_Fester: there are two ways of going about that. | 02:38 |
| dlentz | wow, i just realized i haven't used wine in years | 02:38 |
| xangua | !ppa-purge | blud | 02:38 |
| ubottu | blud: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 02:38 |
| Uncle_Fester | tell me the easy way | 02:38 |
| goodtime | ive never been able to run wine ever! | 02:39 |
| blud | well is the name of the ppa "LA-PPA-glasen-intel-driver ?? like does that look right? | 02:39 |
| ssshvb | hey i have an rpm file (maya 2012 ) do i need to convert it to the dep by alien or i can just unpack it and copy to the foleder where it has to be ( i have it installed before it is just a new sp ) | 02:39 |
| Uncle_Fester | in 10.04 i could just navigate to it now with this new desktop i cant find anything | 02:39 |
| dlentz | blud, it's ppa:glasen/intel-driver | 02:39 |
| w0uld | RenatoSilva, if you have a NTFS partition on your hard drive, the easiest way I know of to mount it is to add an entry to the fstab. | 02:40 |
| Lesterwood | guys, why don't you own firearms? | 02:40 |
| rattatoue | blud, there you go use the ppa-purge to remove that | 02:40 |
| Uncle_Fester | i dont like kde at all | 02:40 |
| LL2|Android | SillyTalker: might I suggest something else with that command thing? | 02:40 |
| RenatoSilva | w0uld: installed pysdm but it asks for a name to mount, I don't want to specify a mounting point, it should be dynamically determined from the ntfs partition label | 02:40 |
| goodtime | yeah ive used the fstab to format hdd | 02:41 |
| reCAPTCHA | Hey all.. I am trying to play a game, but I keep getting a pulse audio error. http://www.pasteall.org/29334 | 02:41 |
| dlentz | Lesterwood, i don't want to shoot anyone at them moment (though the urge is rising ;) ) | 02:41 |
| c_smith_ | Uncle_Fester: as I was saying, go to the menu, go to Wine, and select "Uninstall Wine Software" or whatever looks similar. | 02:41 |
| Uncle_Fester | which menu? | 02:41 |
| SillyTalker | LL2|Android, no need to ask, but im going for a little break, so i wont read it untill i get back | 02:41 |
| Uncle_Fester | i dont see one | 02:41 |
| blud_ | i try to purge this ppa, but it says Warning could not find package list for PPA | 02:41 |
| Flip_ | I know I've asked before - but anyone new joined that might know about RAID1 config in ubuntu lts | 02:41 |
| SillyTalker | i got a /msg from LL2|Android with maliscious advice | 02:42 |

| ejv | there ya go SillyTalker ^ | 02:42 |
| LL2|Android | SillyTalker: coming from a guy who heard me say before that I WAS JOKING | 02:42 |
| RenatoSilva | w0uld: I don't want to install ntfs-3g or something, I just wanted to right lick the drive in unity and set some mount on startup flag | 02:42 |
| rattatoue | blud, try sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:glasen/intel-driver | 02:42 |
| SillyTalker | its not funny, nto the first time, and not over /msg either | 02:43 |
| SillyTalker | its just not done, nor allowed here afaik | 02:43 |
| SillyTalker | again, it does NOT make you look cool.... | 02:43 |
| RenatoSilva | w0uld: I think I'll search for a solution later, thanks! | 02:43 |
| elky | LL2|Android, this is easily resolved by not making such jokes. can you do that for us? | 02:43 |
| ejv | SillyTalker: if LL2|Android is irritating you, /ignore him, just move along | 02:43 |
| w0uld | So you want it to mount under /media/? | 02:43 |
| LL2|Android | Yes | 02:43 |
| SillyTalker | ejv, the ops should know about his "jokes" | 02:43 |
| blud_ | how can i figure out (find) the name of a ppa?? | 02:43 |
| SillyTalker | ejv, if you disagree, ignore me and move along | 02:43 |

| elky | LL2|Android, thanks. | 02:44 |
| Uncle_Fester | i dont see where to do this | 02:44 |
| LL2|Android | Np, elky | 02:44 |
| elky | SillyTalker, he's said he won't do it again, so lets move on ok? | 02:44 |

| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 02:47 |

| blud_ | rattatoue: yeah ok that did it, i just didnt know how to figure out the name of the ppa, but that was it | 02:47 |
| rattatoue | blud_, great to hear! | 02:47 |

| playit_ | how do you guys balance work with entertainment? im trying to find a way to watch my recorded things and work at the same time | 02:48 |
| playit_ | I was thinking about transparancy or using gnome 3.2s half feature | 02:49 |
| Uncle_Fester | how do you uninstall a program in wine in ubuntu 11.10? | 02:49 |
| playit_ | or possibly using another device as a virtual second monitor .. like a psp or a kindle or something | 02:49 |
| playit_ | im using a laptop and don't know if a second monitor is an option or not | 02:49 |
| rattatoue | playit, If I do that I just usually split my screen. Half is the video and half whatever im working on | 02:49 |
| carp1 | I think I have a video driver issue. I'm not sure...Can anyone help? | 02:49 |
| LL2|Android | ejv and elky: sorry for the late message about this, but suggestion: take the fighting to PM if you two want to fight, k? | 02:50 |
| LL2|Android | K | 02:50 |
| playit_ | seems good.. I was experimenting with partial transparancy | 02:50 |
| linux_is_my_hero | bazhang: you've helped me with stuff before. you're smart. can i pm you to ask you a quick question? | 02:51 |

| playit_ | haha yes.. it didn't work and I got arrested :\ | 02:52 |
| elky | LL2|Android, we ops find that doing all moderation in private means we have to explain things ten times over and nobody in the channel ever learns. | 02:52 |
| linux_is_my_hero | elky: is drm off limits in here? | 02:52 |
| reCAPTCHA | linux_is_my_hero: Yeah, they like it so much that they put it on the login screen. | 02:53 |
| LL2|Android | elky: true, but I said if it was you and ejv fighting over the problem that I had, not about moderation | 02:53 |
| goodtime | i learn in here elky | 02:53 |
| goodtime | sink or swim i say | 02:53 |
| linux_is_my_hero | elky: is it wrong to want to print a kindle ebook so i can study with a real book? | 02:54 |
| elky | linux_is_my_hero, that's technically up to each helper, but it's generally discouraged. we don't want to be known as a piracy channel | 02:54 |
| LL2|Android | playit_: lol | 02:54 |
| elky | linux_is_my_hero, printing is fair use for educational purposes under pretty much all copyright legislation i'm aware of. ianal though | 02:54 |
| goodtime | yeah i wouldnt setup a fserver | 02:54 |
| goodtime | there been a few crackdowns | 02:55 |
| ejv | LL2|Android: elky and I weren't fighting btw lol | 02:55 |
| patrick__ | does anyone know anything a bout xchat plugins | 02:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | elky: as for piracy, i do understand. as for printing, the kindle eReader software for windows doesn't have a print button. any ideas? | 02:55 |
| reCAPTCHA | Hey all.. I am trying to play a game, but I keep getting a pulse audio error. http://www.pasteall.org/29334 | 02:55 |
| Uncle_Fester | so i guess there is no way to do it? | 02:56 |
| aeon-ltd | patrick__: they do in #xchat | 02:56 |
| elky | linux_is_my_hero, find better software? i don't know if calibre has a print button or not | 02:56 |
| patrick__ | thank you | 02:57 |
| linux_is_my_hero | elky: okay. thank you. | 02:57 |
| aeon-ltd | Uncle_Fester: btw are you fezz parka? | 02:57 |
| elky | also, we generally don't go supporting windows software in #ubuntu, it's kind of beside the point ;) | 02:57 |
| ejv | linux_is_my_hero: i recommend #windows | 02:57 |
| Uncle_Fester | no i'm just really confused | 02:57 |
| Uncle_Fester | and needed some help | 02:57 |
| carp1 | I think I have a video driver issue. I'm not sure...Can anyone help? | 02:57 |
| mkdrag0n | dont get confused, choose linux =) | 02:57 |
| LL2|Android | ejv: its ##windows actually | 02:58 |
| ejv | omg, stop knit picking lol, it'll redirect automagically | 02:58 |
| Uncle_Fester | i came here looking for help and not even getting any | 02:58 |
| LL2|Android | ejv: you mean automatically | 02:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ejv: my gf wants to study with a book she bought on kindle and then print it. her windows kindle eReader software doesnt work very well. i don't care for windows. i use linux, so i put her ebook on a thumbdrive, installed calibre, and calibre is acting funny on my ubuntu computer. lucky me, huh? | 02:59 |
| * LL2|Android runs | 02:59 | |
| LL2|Android | Lol | 02:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | elky: i meant calibre for ubuntu (my computer). i apoligize for not being more specific. | 02:59 |
| LL2|Android | Jk | 02:59 |
| ejv | -_- | 02:59 |
| Uncle_Fester | i may just try a diiferent distro. maybe there is better support | 03:00 |
| [deXter] | Uncle_Fester, Love your nick. :) | 03:00 |
| Uncle_Fester | thanks | 03:00 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, whats your problem exactly? sorry I missed it | 03:00 |
| ejv | linux_is_my_hero: sorry, i don't know much about that stuff, sounds like it's a shame that kindle isn't releasing their content free of DRM, but that's an subject for another channel | 03:00 |
| ejv | linux_is_my_hero: all I can say is don't support DRM :) | 03:01 |
| Uncle_Fester | i just recently updated from ubuntu 10.04 to 11.10 | 03:01 |
| patrick__ | does ubuntu support python | 03:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ejv: yup | 03:01 |
| ejv | patrick__: of course | 03:01 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, okay. And? | 03:01 |
| ejv | Uncle_Fester: the quality of support you get here, is a function of the quality and thoroughness of details you provide to us. | 03:02 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ejv, elky: thanks for your suggestions, though, that should give me so more ideas if i cant get ubuntu calibre to work. y'all have a good night :-) | 03:02 |
| patrick__ | ok is there a place i can a get a full free version of python | 03:02 |
| Uncle_Fester | and i have wine installed. i used to just go to applications and go to wine and uninstall a program. but now with this new desktop i cant figure out how to uninstall a program from wine | 03:02 |
| Uncle_Fester | i just want to know how to uninstal a program in wine in ubuntu 11.10 | 03:03 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-9893ae50079ca7a959258f0bc9a17aaf2e69b391 go there and go to 4.2 It says how to uninstall a program in wine. | 03:03 |
| [deXter] | O.o | 03:03 |
| staniki | hi guys, been logged in for hours now, was watching a video on banshee all of a sudden my display resolution reduces drastically and my display is no longer detected HELP PLEASE! | 03:03 |
| ejv | patrick__: i think you're confused, python has a PSFL license, similar to GPL; you can fetch python from any Ubuntu repository, for free (as in beer) | 03:03 |
| rattatoue | staniki, not to state the obvious did you try restarting the computer? | 03:03 |
| Uncle_Fester | i already looked at it | 03:03 |
| staniki | yes I did | 03:03 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, and did you try it? | 03:03 |
| Uncle_Fester | have no clue on how | 03:04 |
| Flip_ | is anyone familiar with adding a RAID1 array into an already installed ubuntu os | 03:04 |
| Uncle_Fester | nothing shows up in the uninstaller | 03:04 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, in a terminal run wine uninstaller | 03:04 |
| Flip_ | i need ubuntu on a separate drive from the raid | 03:04 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, oh strange. Hmm. | 03:04 |
| Uncle_Fester | i did. and no programs show up | 03:05 |
| LL2|Android | Lol | 03:05 |
| rattatoue | staniki, is your video card nvidia by any chance? | 03:05 |
| Uncle_Fester | now the uninstaller wont show up | 03:05 |
| ejv | staniki: i haven't wrestled with ubuntu on a workstation for quite some time, but in the past, i'd invoke a `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` to reinitiliaze the environment | 03:05 |
| decaf | can I just dd lucid desktop iso to usb stick and hope it works? | 03:05 |
| LL2|Android | "Thing, Emma Jig. I now pronounce you hand in hand" | 03:05 |
| staniki | no i'm using the onboard graphics card, i am not 100% what it is but its definitely an intel product | 03:05 |
| zykotick9 | decaf: it won't - it's not hybrid like 11.10 | 03:06 |
| xangua | decaf: lucid no, you can with oneiric i believe | 03:06 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, sounds like you might need to reinstall your wine | 03:06 |
| Uncle_Fester | it opens and closes really fast | 03:06 |
| Uncle_Fester | yea i'll do that | 03:06 |
| staniki | tried that ejv doesn;t work | 03:07 |
| decaf | zykotick9, xangua I'm on debian, couldn't find a syslinux howto for desktop cd, grub4dos website is down | 03:07 |
| Uncle_Fester | thaks | 03:07 |
| Flip_ | HELP WITH RAID :/ | 03:07 |
| ejv | staniki: sorry dude | 03:07 |
| rattatoue | staniki, are you running nvidia? | 03:07 |
| carp1 | My laptop goes into terminal and it says there was a panic. From here, my laptop is froze and I have to force reboot. Can someone help me? | 03:07 |
| staniki | rattatoue not running nvidida | 03:07 |
| ejv | Flip_: be more specific. | 03:07 |
| staniki | using my onboard graphics | 03:07 |
| staniki | not 100% sure what it is | 03:07 |
| Flip_ | I setup a RAID sync when I first installed the live CD with ubuntu server | 03:07 |
| Flip_ | I loaded the gnome desktop cause I'm not so crafty with CLI | 03:08 |
| xangua | decaf: you can use unetbootin to make a bootable ubuntu stick | 03:08 |
| Flip_ | I can see the RAID config in the disk utility | 03:08 |
| ejv | you try reinstalling xserver ? | 03:08 |
| Flip_ | but I cannot access the raid as though it is not mounted | 03:08 |
| Flip_ | I have my OS on sda my raid is sdb and sdc and i have afourth drive for misc and that is sdd | 03:08 |
| ejv | sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core then sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg followed by a reboot ? that's how i'd solve it few years ago | 03:08 |
| rattatoue | staniki, guessing probably intel | 03:08 |
| decaf | xangua: unetbootin couldn't detect my usb. but I found grub4dos at sourceforge | 03:09 |
| LL2|Android | ejv: speaking of that | 03:09 |
| staniki | yes it is an intel product, i'm very new to linux so bear with me if I seem a bit slow | 03:09 |
| LL2|Android | Mind helping me with installing some gui on my ssh server? | 03:09 |
| Flip_ | ejv any ideas | 03:09 |
| LL2|Android | I can give you access if need | 03:09 |
| LL2|Android | *needed | 03:10 |
| ejv | i'd rather explain, the various desktop environments are available in meta packages i believe, so sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for instance should give you what you want | 03:10 |
| LL2|Android | Ok` | 03:10 |
| rattatoue | LL2 did you try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop so on? | 03:10 |
| ejv | you can replace that with lxde, xfce, kde, etc. | 03:10 |
| LL2|Android | Well | 03:10 |
| Flip_ | make sure you change your sources.list file before you install dsktop gui | 03:10 |
| LL2|Android | I do use root to install apts | 03:10 |
| ejv | i don't know the exact names, you'll need to google or check the ubuntu community docs | 03:10 |
| LL2|Android | Which is the default ccount | 03:11 |
| LL2|Android | So I don't need sudo at the beginning | 03:11 |
| LL2|Android | But thanks | 03:11 |
| Flip_ | Android: changes the # in the etc/apt/sources.list | 03:11 |
| LL2|Android | Allso, its just regular ubuntu | 03:11 |
| LL2|Android | I think it was 11.04 | 03:11 |
| LL2|Android | 64 bit | 03:11 |
| Flip_ | in 11.04 alter the lucid version to hardy | 03:12 |
| ejv | Flip_: is this a software managed raid via 'mdadm' or hardware fakeraid or dedicated hardware controller | 03:12 |
| Flip_ | mdadm | 03:12 |
| LL2|Android | Holy crap | 03:12 |
| Flip_ | it created the /dev/md0 | 03:12 |
| LL2|Android | That is a lot of packages, ejv | 03:12 |
| ejv | so you said you can't access an unmounted block device, that sounds about right. heheh | 03:13 |
| Flip_ | well yeah - i get that lol | 03:13 |
| Flip_ | how do i mount it - i tried re-formating it to FREESPACE | 03:13 |
| === CPhoenix_ is now known as CPhoenix | ||
| ejv | you need to write a filesystem to it | 03:13 |
| Flip_ | I need to store my movies and music on this drive so I can use it as a server and gain the redundancy of raid when multiple access takes palce | 03:14 |
| LL2|JedIRC | Damnit | 03:14 |
| ejv | i understand, is there anything important on it right now Flip_ ? | 03:14 |
| LL2|JedIRC | ejv: stupid android is screwing up on me | 03:14 |
| Flip_ | nothing. I'm in the beginning stages. Just loading and reloading different ways tot see if i can get my result | 03:14 |
| LL2|JedIRC | Also, I like how you can answer yes or no instead of y or n | 03:15 |
| ejv | Flip_: ok that's fine, which raid level are you using again? | 03:15 |
| Flip_ | 1 | 03:15 |
| Flip_ | 3.0tb drives | 03:15 |
| cloudgeek | host own domain | 03:15 |
| ejv | Flip_: alright, so you need to apply a filesystem, mkfs.[ext3,ext4,xfs,jfs,etc.] /dev/md0 | 03:15 |
| Flip_ | ahhh gotcha | 03:16 |
| linux_is_my_hero | help, my calibre won't open my ebooks. | 03:16 |
| Flip_ | so I initially just partitioned them with GUID and set the RAID sync on them. Now I need to apply a file system? | 03:16 |
| cloudgeek | !Domain | 03:16 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ubuntu 11.10 x64, calibre 0.8.8 | 03:16 |
| ejv | Flip_: yes, afterwards, you can mount it: mount /dev/md0 /mnt/raid | 03:17 |
| reisio | linux_is_my_hero: how many formats have you tried? | 03:17 |
| Flip_ | One other question. When I do my port forwarding. How do i access it for example (10.1.10..9/xxxxxx) | 03:17 |
| ejv | Flip_: writing a filesystem is, im not sure what the english word is, 'damaging' be sure you don't misspell and that you are applying the change to the correct block device. | 03:17 |
| Flip_ | I need NAT to resolve to the correct mount | 03:18 |
| linux_is_my_hero | reisio: *.azw, which i guess is amazons ebook format? | 03:18 |
| cloudgeek | any body how to use bind to host a domain name on our laptop | 03:19 |
| LL2|JedIRC | So ejv | 03:19 |
| reisio | linux_is_my_hero: yeah | 03:19 |
| reisio | linux_is_my_hero: do you get an error? | 03:19 |
| linux_is_my_hero | no, it just doesnt do anything. | 03:19 |
| linux_is_my_hero | reisio: *no, it just doesn't do anything. | 03:19 |
| Flip_ | ejv: you know anything about ip resolution and NAT | 03:20 |
| LL2|JedIRC | Basically the ubuntu-desktop package is a gui for ubuntu ssh? | 03:20 |
| LL2|JedIRC | And I'll still be able to use ssh by default? | 03:20 |
| ejv | Flip_: port forwarding is handled by your switch/router/$NETWORK_EQUIPMENT, you can get the ip address of your machine by typing `sudo ifconfig`, route information from `sudo route -n`, etc. | 03:20 |
| LL2|JedIRC | ima do 'sudo sudo' | 03:21 |
| * LL2|JedIRC has just caused sudo-ception | 03:21 | |
| reisio | linux_is_my_hero: try running calibre from a terminal, and observing the output when you attempt to open the file/s | 03:21 |
| zykotick9 | ejv: i didn't think ubuntu needed sudo for ifconfig? | 03:21 |
| === CPhoenix_ is now known as CPhoenix | ||
| Flip_ | Yeah... I got that down. I've done a lot of port forwarding but not with a Linux based file system. Just wondering if you know the route for the mount on port forwarding. Id like to be able to access my RAID on https port 443 | 03:22 |
| LL2|JedIRC | reisio: is the ubuntu-desktop package basically a gui for ssh? | 03:22 |
| zykotick9 | LL2|JedIRC: ubuntu-desktop has basically NOTHING to do with SSH | 03:22 |
| LL2|JedIRC | And will it still automatically send me to the ssh at first? | 03:22 |
| ejv | Flip_: sorry you're not making any sense to me | 03:22 |
| linux_is_my_hero | reisio: uh, how? | 03:22 |
| reisio | linux_is_my_hero: what version of Ubuntu? | 03:23 |
| ejv | maybe someone else will understand what you want | 03:23 |
| reisio | LL2|JedIRC: what zykotick9 said | 03:23 |
| linux_is_my_hero | reisio: 11.10 x64 | 03:23 |
| reisio | LL2|JedIRC: I guess from a really hardcore joking commandline POV you could say that, though :p | 03:23 |
| reisio | linux_is_my_hero: try CTRL+ALT+t | 03:23 |
| reisio | then type 'calibre' (probably) and hit ENTER | 03:24 |
| reisio | close any open calibre first | 03:24 |
| Flip_ | Lets say ubuntu is 10.1.10.9 - If I port forward https access to 10.1.10.9 it's going to go to the entire linux system. My other server I use to have would resolve to the main folder by 10.1.10.9/server/music/ | 03:24 |
| === vKompff is now known as c4hank | ||
| ejv | Flip_: if you want SSH to listen on an alternate port, you can make adjustments to the daemon by modifying /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 03:24 |
| Flip_ | hen when I type my static ip address in I would resolve to that one folder on https | 03:24 |
| LL2|JedIRC | ejv: how will I start the gui From ssh? | 03:24 |
| ejv | LL2|JedIRC: startx ? | 03:24 |
| LL2|JedIRC | ok | 03:25 |
| rattatoue | LL2|Android, I dont think you can. If you do it will only show you the log of the terminal not the actual gui on the machine. The machine itself will be the only thing seeing the GUI. | 03:25 |
| LL2|JedIRC | ejv: it shouldn't start the x gui server on startup, correct? | 03:25 |
| LL2|JedIRC | aw | 03:25 |
| ejv | LL2|JedIRC: i have no idea, im not following your setup. | 03:25 |
| rattatoue | ejv, he is sshing into his machine. And wants to start the gui and be able to see it through the SSH too. Which I dont think is possible. | 03:26 |
| Flip_ | LL2|Android you can view your gui with "Chicken of the VNC" freeware | 03:26 |
| ejv | rattatoue: it is possible, via vnc or nx | 03:26 |
| rattatoue | ejv, I know that. I am meaning through SSH alone its not possible. | 03:26 |
| Flip_ | vnc is the best way | 03:26 |
| ejv | LL2|JedIRC: check the ubuntu documentation about 'nxserver' | 03:27 |
| ejv | rattatoue: nxserver occurs over ssh. | 03:27 |
| Flip_ | SSH is not possible your right rattatoue | 03:27 |
| RenatoSilva | how to remove unetbootin from my usb stick? I've installed ubuntu already and I don't need it to be bootable anymore | 03:27 |
| reisio | it's possible even without VNC | 03:27 |

| Uncle_Fester | i just updated to ubuntu 11.10 and can't figure out how to shut down. in 10.04 i just went to the upper right hand corner and had the option. where is it in 11.10? | 03:27 |
| reisio | linux_is_my_hero: it said that in the terminal but not in a window? | 03:27 |
| ejv | fyi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 03:28 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, upper right corner? The little gear looking icon. | 03:28 |
| ejv | (ssh based, and knowing is half the battle.) | 03:28 |
| linux_is_my_hero | Uncle_Fester: this one bothered me a lot too until I got used to it. go to the gear logo in the upper-right hand corner and a menu appears that gives you power-related options :-) | 03:28 |
| LL2|JedIRC | ejv: what package, if any? | 03:28 |
| ejv | click the freenx link | 03:28 |

| === Guest21785 is now known as stimoceiver | ||
| reisio | LL2|JedIRC: you might look into X forwarding, too | 03:28 |
| LL2|JedIRC | Oh wait | 03:28 |
| ejv | if you have ssh open and listening there's no additional configuration necessary for nx to function | 03:28 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, are you on unity? like where you have a dock looking thing on the left of your screen | 03:28 |
| Uncle_Fester | i am omn 11.10 | 03:29 |
| LL2|JedIRC | where was the config file with the x11forwarding option? | 03:29 |
| Flip_ | LL2|JedIRC what system are you running SSH from | 03:29 |
| Uncle_Fester | yes | 03:29 |
| ejv | if for some reason you don't have ssh open and working, there's always: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto | 03:29 |
| LL2|JedIRC | Well, I'm using a android tablet for ssh | 03:29 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, but there are different DE. Do you see icons on the left side of your screen? looks kinda like a dock with firefox icon and a few others. | 03:29 |
| LL2|JedIRC | But the server itself is running ubuntu | 03:29 |
| Jordan_U | LL2|JedIRC: What is your end goal? | 03:29 |
| Uncle_Fester | yes i do | 03:30 |
| Flip_ | You'll have to find an app that will run VNC if you're on a tablet | 03:30 |
| LL2|JedIRC | I guess to be able to use a gui in ssh | 03:30 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, then you should have a gear icon in the top right. | 03:30 |
| reisio | yeah, it's going to be a pain on Android | 03:30 |
| reisio | and most of the apps will probably be commercial | 03:30 |
| reisio | LL2|JedIRC: ask #android about it | 03:30 |
| almoxarife | anyone dabbled with dnsmasq over tor/proxy/socks? | 03:30 |
| Flip_ | You're limited on tha Arch on android | 03:30 |
| Uncle_Fester | no. in the far upper right corner | 03:30 |
| LL2|JedIRC | Hmm | 03:31 |
| LL2|JedIRC | Should I use vnc4server or tightvncserver? | 03:31 |
| rattatoue | Uncle_Fester, do you see in the top right where your TIME is, then next to it shows whatever your username is, then next to that is a Gear\star\circle looking icon? | 03:31 |
| Uncle_Fester | it just shows me my user name and option to log in | 03:31 |
| ejv | clients for android is outside the scope of #ubuntu support; but it is possible with nx or vnc to spawn an instance of an environment remotely over ssh. | 03:31 |
| Flip_ | You could try those | 03:31 |

| Flip_ | yes | 03:42 |
| LL2|JedIRC | Ok | 03:42 |
| Flip_ | SSH doesn't go away by any means | 03:42 |
| evildaemon | RenatoSilva: Unetbootin, or use the utility that comes with Ubuntu. | 03:42 |
| Flip_ | You still have all the cap you had before and then some | 03:42 |
| sacarlson | zykotick9: Flip_: oh ssh onto an android ya I think your correct -X might not work there, if it does I'ed love to know | 03:42 |
| zykotick9 | evildaemon: notice "unbootable" ;) | 03:42 |
| evildaemon | zykotick9: Just reformat it. | 03:43 |
| zykotick9 | evildaemon: exactly | 03:43 |
| Flip_ | sacarlson I wold too - I've been trying to get my phone to connect vnc for ever - I' found the best way for the phone to work is through TeamViewer | 03:43 |
| evildaemon | zykotick9: If you have important stuff on there though, you should back it up first. | 03:43 |
| blahhh | Why does my sound cut out about 45mins to 1hr | 03:43 |
| zykotick9 | evildaemon: ;) it's not me that's asking | 03:43 |
| RenatoSilva | evildaemon: can I do it from the usb stick itself? | 03:43 |
| sacarlson | Flip_: I gave up and just run a android simulator on my ubuntu | 03:44 |
| evildaemon | RenatoSilva: I guess you could. | 03:44 |
| Flip_ | good call | 03:44 |
| RenatoSilva | evildaemon: oh I just deleted thefiles :( | 03:44 |
| RenatoSilva | evildaemon: and the iso :( | 03:44 |
| smw_ | hi all. How can I fix "W: GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric-backports Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com> | 03:44 |
| smw_ | " | 03:44 |
| smw_ | did they change keys? | 03:44 |
| evildaemon | RenatoSilva: Well crap. There wasn't anything irreplacable was there? | 03:44 |
| Flip_ | sacarlson I need a new android so bad. i've done so much tampering and experimenting that mine is on the fritz! | 03:44 |
| smw_ | I tried sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 437D05B5 | 03:44 |
| zilly | After login, is .profile executed before .bash_profile? | 03:45 |
| RenatoSilva | evildaemon: the utility that comes with ubuntu? I'm in windows, will reboot and check and try to give feedback, thanks | 03:45 |
| sacarlson | Flip_: teamviewer is that a free app on android? maybe that's why I failed to find a solution to not have to use the small keyboard | 03:45 |
| smw_ | !gpgerr told me that that was the key and the system considered it new. | 03:45 |
| ubottu | smw_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:45 |
| evildaemon | RenatoSilva: NO, that utility makes it bootable. | 03:45 |
| RenatoSilva | evildaemon: ok | 03:45 |
| Flip_ | TeamViewer is free ;) as long as you use it for personal use (wink wink) | 03:45 |
| escott | zilly, the very top of .profile explains it is not read if .bash_profile exists | 03:45 |
| zykotick9 | smw_: !gpgerr is for 3rd party keys, you're looking for ubuntu keys - should be a package i believe | 03:45 |
| RenatoSilva | evildaemon: both unetbootin and 'the utility that comes with Ubuntu'? | 03:46 |
| Flip_ | I use TeamViewer for so uch | 03:46 |
| evildaemon | RenatoSilva: Uh, you should be able to just right click and overwrite it with a FAT filesystem if theres nothing important. | 03:46 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, the question is, why am I getting this error? | 03:46 |
| evildaemon | RenatoSilva: Well yeah, thats what there for. | 03:46 |
| zilly | escott, what's the best way to execute a python script upon login, then? | 03:46 |
| zykotick9 | smw_: the keys changes, or your keys are corrupt??? | 03:46 |
| Flip_ | sacarlson it's kinda creepy watching your screen move when you're controling from your phone | 03:46 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, obviously the keys did not change. | 03:46 |
| RenatoSilva | evildaemon: not sure how usb booting works but, doesn't it have also a partition independent area like hdd's MBR? | 03:47 |
| escott | zilly, execute it in a startup script. i dont understand what the question part of this question is | 03:47 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, my ubuntu-keyring is up to date and everyone would be complaining now ;-) | 03:47 |
| evildaemon | RenatoSilva: Reformatting should take out the whole volume. | 03:47 |
| goodtime | yeah | 03:47 |
| Flip_ | I SUCK AT USB BOOTING | 03:47 |
| sgo11 | hi, what is the best screencast application in ubuntu now? Is that still recordmydesktop? I don't see it gets updated within three years. thanks. | 03:47 |
| Flip_ | I gave up long ago... don't know why it's my kryp | 03:48 |
| * evildaemon notes to himself to write a new screenrecord app | 03:48 | |
| RenatoSilva | evildaemon: ok the problem is that I have GiBs of backup files (yes it was mixed with ubuntu install), I'm going to copy them to hdd then reformat it, thanks! | 03:48 |
| zilly | escott, I'm unfamiliar with startup scripts. I'll have to check them out. Thanks. | 03:48 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, ideas? | 03:48 |
| evildaemon | RenatoSilva: Thats what i'd do. Just copy them to your computers HDD then reformat. | 03:49 |
| zykotick9 | smw_: nope, sorry. good luck. change mirrors maybe? | 03:49 |
| RenatoSilva | zilly: an easy way to run something when you log in is the session manager, you can add stuff there | 03:49 |
| escott | zilly, presumably you would just put it in .bashrc, but you might want to wrap it in some kind of check of the $TERM variable so that it doesn't get started in situations that aren't appropriate | 03:49 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, what mirrors are you using? | 03:49 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, I am using http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 03:49 |
| zykotick9 | smw_: won't help you ;) i don't use ubuntu. | 03:49 |
| sgo11 | I tried gnome-shell default screencast app, it eats up all my RAM. just wondering if there are any better ones than recordmydesktop. thanks. | 03:49 |
| Flip_ | btw - found out BitTorrent is cracking down. Trackers are not who you think right now. | 03:49 |
| zilly | escott, doens't .bashrc only run when the terminal is opened? | 03:50 |

| smw_ | zykotick9, I have another question. Should I trust the PPA mentioned here? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/how-to-install-vlc-2-0-in-ubuntu-10-04-11-10/ | 03:50 |
| escott | zilly, .bashrc is sourced by .profile. just look at .profile to see where. is that not what you want? | 03:51 |
| zykotick9 | smw_: up to you. All PPAs are unsupported 3rd party, so do you trust that 3rd party? | 03:51 |
| vadi2 | Are notifications supposed to be non-transparent on Unity 2D? | 03:51 |
| nathan28 | smw_: if you read their code, sure | 03:51 |
| xangua | smw_: no ppa is for trust, you use them at your own risk | 03:51 |
| vadi2 | They are a *real* bother because I cannot see anything under the notification, even with my mouse hovering it | 03:51 |
| === RenatoSilva is now known as Pikkachu | ||
| zilly | escott, thanks! I tried that before but it didn't work. I probably messed something up, though. | 03:52 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, I was asking if I should trust them :-P | 03:52 |
| nathan28 | smw_: DYODD | 03:52 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, I guess I need to find the src package and build manually after reading. What a paid | 03:52 |
| smw_ | pain* | 03:52 |
| smw_ | nathan28, eh? | 03:53 |
| erik__ | DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 | 03:53 |

| Pikkachu | hi smw_ | 03:54 |
| craigbass1976 | Anyone got a hp M1212nf? I bought it because everything was supposed to work in linux, but I can't scan. I believe there's a plugin I have to download, but I don't know where it is. | 03:54 |
| smw_ | Hi Pikkachu | 03:54 |
| Pikkachu | smw_: not follwing but in general, you don't trust any ppa | 03:54 |
| smw_ | Pikkachu, yeah. All the guides are like "it is easy, just add this ppa" | 03:55 |
| smw_ | then I end up not getting the software :-\ | 03:55 |
| trueGreen | him | 03:55 |
| nathan28 | craigbass1976: do you have CUPS installed? | 03:55 |
| smw_ | Any ideas on how to get the src package from a ppa? | 03:55 |
| Pikkachu | who was here helping me a few hours ago, I'm RenatoSilva. I was confused about what to do... it was a discussion about compiz, emerald, xfce, gnome, grub, windows, reinstall... | 03:55 |
| smw_ | https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/vlc/+packages | 03:56 |
| trueGreen | anyone know how I can install pico on an AWS instance using yum? | 03:56 |
| nathan28 | you may need to uncomment a line in the config for an HP usb all-in-one | 03:56 |
| Pikkachu | smw_: what are you looking for | 03:56 |
| smw_ | Pikkachu, the src package used to build the vlc packages | 03:56 |
| craigbass1976 | nathan28, I do. I can print fine; I've not yet loked at cups logs for scan errors. Would they even be in there? | 03:56 |
| Pikkachu | smw_: when I add a ppa in synaptic like the line shown in the ppa page in LP, it adds two lines, one being for source code | 03:57 |
| smw_ | Pikkachu, ppa does the package builds... so it must have the src | 03:57 |
| sacarlson | smw_: I see there is another VLC ppa than what you saw https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/master-daily that has daily builds | 03:58 |
| nathan28 | craigbass1976: you may need to be a member of the group "camera" for an hp scanner with CUPS | 03:58 |
| smw_ | sacarlson, any way to tell if it is from videolan? | 03:58 |
| gerar | helo | 03:58 |

| carp1 | My laptop goes into terminal and it says there was a panic. From here, my laptop is froze and I have to force reboot. Can someone help me? | 03:58 |
| nathan28 | just fixed a version or two ago, may not have hit Ubuntu repos yet | 03:58 |
| sacarlson | smw_: well if you see a link from there oficial site I guess | 03:59 |
| smw_ | sacarlson, yeah | 03:59 |
| zykotick9 | smw_: if your getting the source from the PPA, why not just use the binary? (getting source from upstream "might" make sense) | 03:59 |
| craigbass1976 | nathan28, I don't even see a camera group | 03:59 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, getting the src package. Not the src. | 03:59 |
| === mint is now known as c31r2g | ||
| smw_ | zykotick9, the src package should have relatively few files in it including a link to the source upstream. | 04:00 |
| smw_ | zykotick9, if it also contains the actual vlc src, I can always delete and replace it. | 04:00 |
| escott | carp1, any distinctive words in the panic? | 04:00 |
| Pikkachu | smw_: doesn't it add the src line for you? | 04:00 |
| carp1 | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/339/photojan0635019pm.jpg/ | 04:00 |
| smw_ | Pikkachu, I am not trying to add the repo | 04:00 |
| Pikkachu | smw_: oh wait, the src line if for source of the app not the package sorry | 04:01 |
| nathan28 | crankharder: is it a USB printer? | 04:01 |
| Pikkachu | smw_: you want the DEB source itself? just extract it | 04:01 |
| nathan28 | unplug it, plug it back in, and see what dmesg says at the end | 04:01 |
| Pikkachu | smw_: .deb are compressed files | 04:01 |
| nathan28 | or messages.log | 04:01 |
| escott | carp1, are you booting an installed system or a livecd? | 04:02 |
| carp1 | Its installed on the drive | 04:02 |
| escott | carp1, you might try using a livecd to check the smart status of the disks | 04:03 |
| GreenEmber | the version of transmission in the repo is 1.93 how would I go about installing a different version? | 04:03 |
| carp1 | escott: Could you elaborate on that a little, please. | 04:03 |
| Pikkachu | carp1: he just left | 04:04 |
| carp1 | I see that, thanks. | 04:04 |
| sacarlson | escott: carp1: I think you can see the disk smart status without a livecd boot unless the system is that broken | 04:04 |
| sacarlson | escott: sorry I don't think I read back far enuf to the panic part | 04:05 |
| carp1 | I am using the system right now. | 04:05 |
| sgo11 | hi, can anyone suggest a good screencast application in ubuntu? thanks. | 04:05 |
| reisio | sgo11: gtk-recordmydesktop? | 04:06 |
| sacarlson | sgo11: reisio: I've also used gtk-recordmydesktop it worked fine for me. | 04:07 |
| zykotick9 | GreenEmber: you could check for a PPA with another version ("/msg ubottu PPA" for details) or compile from source. | 04:07 |
| reisio | sacarlson: me too | 04:07 |
| reisio | well, recordmydesktop | 04:07 |
| sgo11 | reisio, thanks. that is the one I am currently using. but it doesn't get updated within three years. just wondering if there are any better ones. it does not record the top panel of my gnome-shell. | 04:07 |
| reisio | but this being where this is, I suggested the GUI :p | 04:07 |
| reisio | sgo11: there's one for accelerated stuff... it's called... | 04:08 |
| GreenEmber | zykotick9:i got the ppa but it hasnt updated past version 1.93... | 04:08 |
| GreenEmber | possibly because im running an older version of ubuntu | 04:08 |
| sacarlson | reisio: oh I remember one fault in record it didn't see the video screens playing on the screen | 04:08 |
| reisio | glc, that's its name | 04:10 |
| reisio | https://github.com/nullkey/glc/wiki | 04:10 |
| sgo11 | reisio, thanks a lot. I will try that one. | 04:11 |
| zykotick9 | GreenEmber: are you running an ubuntu version pre-10.04? | 04:12 |
| GreenEmber | im running 10.04 | 04:12 |
| GreenEmber | now am i going to just have to build this from source to get the latest version | 04:13 |
| zykotick9 | GreenEmber: are you familiar with checkinstall? "/msg ubottu checkinstall" if not. | 04:14 |
| sacarlson | reisio: from that link it apears that it will only capture one application at a time, or will it do a full screen? | 04:14 |
| GreenEmber | zykotick9: i am now, does that mean yes i do have to compile it myself? | 04:14 |
| zykotick9 | GreenEmber: i have no idea. but probably. | 04:14 |
| reisio | sacarlson: couldn't tell you | 04:15 |
| GreenEmber | i assume i should remove the one thats currently installed | 04:15 |
| SillyTalker | so i set my network settings in /etc/networking/interfaces, but it doesnt work | 04:15 |
| SillyTalker | fir a wireless network | 04:15 |
| SillyTalker | *for | 04:16 |
| sacarlson | GreenEmber: I also run ubuntu 10.04, normaly when you don't see versions of apps above a number it's because they move qt libs or others that aren't supported on the older versions of ubuntu | 04:16 |
| SillyTalker | what can be wrong? i set the essid, the key, the channel, ... | 04:16 |
| rattatoue | SillyTalker, back to your Private lol | 04:16 |
| SillyTalker | ok rattatoue thought you were gone or afk | 04:16 |
| zykotick9 | sacarlson: GreenEmber i'd think Transmission 2.03 at least will work on Lucid (or probably should) | 04:17 |
| xangua | GreenEmber: if you use the transmission stable ppa you should have transmission 2.33 | 04:17 |
| xangua | at least* | 04:17 |
| GreenEmber | xangua: i added the ppa but no luck | 04:18 |
| tomvolek | trying to do sudo pecl install uploadprogress and I get a message no release available for package "pecl.php.net/uploadprogress" . Am I doing something wring ? | 04:20 |
| GreenEmber | xangua: its still version 1.93 in synaptic | 04:20 |
| sacarlson | xangua: your right I see ppa support on ubuntu transmission up to 2.33 at https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa | 04:21 |
| sacarlson | GreenEmber: and that was for ubuntu 10.04 | 04:21 |
| xangua | (22:19:30) GreenEmber: xangua: i added the ppa but no luck - did you upgrade the system after that? | 04:21 |
| GreenEmber | yes | 04:22 |
| GreenEmber | oh wait hang on | 04:23 |
| GreenEmber | i think i did it wrong | 04:23 |
| GreenEmber | i accidentally added the wrong repo heh | 04:23 |

| zykotick9 | cowslammer: Blue1 "movie player" aka totem | 04:49 |

| Guest73649 | anyone know why tty1, 2, 3 etc is only a blackscreen in Ubuntu 11.10? | 05:01 |
| reisio | it's dead when it stops working or becomes a security risk | 05:01 |
| Blue1 | cowslammer: private message ok? | 05:02 |
| reisio | and even then, pretty much only when it's so un-useful nobody forks it or maintains it | 05:02 |
| ZeloZelos | Guest73649, it should show a login | 05:02 |
| Guest73649 | Zelo, what do you mean?> | 05:02 |
| ZeloZelos | you hit alt ctrl and 4 for instance, should show the machines name and login: | 05:03 |

| damo22 | could be your video drivers are not working in console mode | 05:04 |
| damo22 | it does that on my mac | 05:04 |
| ZeloZelos | how crazy is that..guess its nvidea rofl | 05:04 |
| damo22 | i think its EFI | 05:05 |
| ZeloZelos | heres a good one, when i install the nvidea driver for my sys, it disables opengl, which i have dual layered graphics nvidia controlled by intel hd | 05:06 |
| rhin0 | nvidia seems to be like the only driver I see - always nvidia - everything nvidia | 05:06 |

| ZeloZelos | ubuntu needs a team of 1000's to make drivers for video cards n trouble shoot them to end microsoft's check mate on functionality which is keeping ubuntu from playing those great games, sure theres a few.. | 05:12 |

| reisio | ZeloZelos: that has nothing to do with video drivers | 05:13 |
| zykotick9 | ZeloZelos: until you convince nvidia & ati (err amd) to open there drivers, not much ubuntu or any other distro can do... | 05:13 |
| reisio | ZeloZelos: if a company wants to make a game that requires DirectX, and then program the game so poorly that it doesn't run via Wine, that is something Canonical and everyone else can do virtually nothing about | 05:13 |
| reisio | zykotick9: nothing to do with drivers | 05:13 |
| reisio | as far as drivers go, Linux is outcompeting everything | 05:14 |
| reisio | there is no OS that supports more hardware | 05:14 |
| Lint | reisio, useless hardware | 05:14 |
| reisio | Lint: yup, useless hardware that someone needed a driver to use | 05:14 |
| reisio | the definition of useless | 05:15 |
| ZeloZelos | they are open to microsoft, which i bet somehow owns/controlls those companies | 05:15 |
| reisio | are you talking about nvidia & ati? | 05:15 |
| reisio | there are Linux drivers for their devices... | 05:15 |
| reisio | multiple ones | 05:15 |
| reisio | Windows has only one set of drivers for them | 05:15 |
| reisio | make sense please :p | 05:15 |
| ZeloZelos | but they break stuff | 05:15 |
| reisio | so do Windows drivers | 05:15 |
| reisio | the difference is you pay extra for a computer someone has assembled to work properly with FOO drivers preinstalled | 05:16 |
| ZeloZelos | or just dont work, but windows drivers work most of the time, with less problems, just click update driver? | 05:16 |
| reisio | comparing that to a computer you put together with minimal knowledge is not particularly useful | 05:16 |
| reisio | ZeloZelos: wow, okay so you're from a different planet :p | 05:16 |
| ZeloZelos | true | 05:16 |
| ZeloZelos | hehee | 05:16 |
| reisio | /join ##windows and just watch for a little while | 05:16 |
| reisio | it's the same as here, only they pay for it and it was already installed FOR THEM | 05:17 |
| Lint | reisio, why my 3 years old driver performs better than today's opensource? it's nonsence | 05:17 |
| Lint | *windows | 05:17 |
| SoulShadow | because it's opensource | 05:17 |
| reisio | Lint: why do we have to compare it to the open source driver? | 05:17 |
| reisio | Lint: if it's a nvidia or ati device, there are official drivers | 05:17 |
| SoulShadow | imo, FOSS drivers rarely work as well as their proprietary counterparts | 05:18 |
| reisio | open source always wins in the end, though | 05:18 |
| Lint | reisio, official drivers do not work on linux since 2009 | 05:18 |
| SoulShadow | uh | 05:18 |
| ZeloZelos | ok so show me the driver that works with my nvidea m550 that dont break open gl | 05:18 |
| SoulShadow | what? | 05:18 |
| cowslammer | blue1 i'm using Xchat - how do I start a private msg? | 05:18 |
| SoulShadow | i use AMD's latest drivers in linux | 05:18 |
| SoulShadow | 12.1 catalyst | 05:18 |
| reisio | Lint: so you're happy to use 3-year-old drivers on Windows, but to do so on Linux... makes Linux lame? | 05:18 |
| reisio | nobody's making you update, either | 05:18 |
| SoulShadow | linux has a long way to go to catch the usability of windows | 05:19 |
| Lint | reisio, I CANNOT use 3 year old driver on Linux, it doesn't work | 05:19 |

| ubottu | nathan28 Haze-_: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 05:44 |
| ubottu | Haze-_, please see my private message | 05:44 |
| Haze-_ | ok | 05:45 |
| bazhang | ineddhelp, no | 05:45 |
| nathan28 | ineddhelp: what do you mean, 'security' | 05:45 |
| nathan28 | what is your concern? | 05:45 |
| nathan28 | "security" means many things | 05:45 |
| Lint | nathan28, third party monitoring, apparently | 05:45 |
| ZeloZelos | anybody know how to get the nvidia driver for the gt 540m to work without messing up opengl? | 05:46 |
| nathan28 | like an ISP? NSA? ACTA? good luck | 05:46 |
| ejv | you guys can discuss all that in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:46 |
| ejv | (and girls) | 05:46 |
| nathan28 | ejv: both of them | 05:46 |
| ineddhelp | I'm sorry. OK thank you I'm going. I misread about LiveCD is more unsecure. I thought it was more secure using LiveCD. SOrry bye :D | 05:46 |
| ZeloZelos | or has anyone installed a nvidia driver that broke opengl figured out how to fix it? | 05:47 |
| mohamedtouj | hih | 05:47 |
| mohamedtouj | how to hack wifi ? | 05:47 |
| Saber- | ZeloZelos: I don't mean to be unhelpful but my experience with hardware acceleration in linux is to just give up.. | 05:47 |
| bazhang | mohamedtouj, not supported here | 05:47 |
| ejv | !ot | mohamedtouj | 05:47 |
| ubottu | mohamedtouj: #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! | 05:47 |
| Saber- | That's pretty awesome. How do I haxor the interwebs. | 05:48 |
| ZeloZelos | Saber-, you'r prob right, but ill keep pecking at it, maybe eventually | 05:48 |
| ejv | if you have to ask how, then you're doing it wrong. | 05:48 |
| * Lint starts to thijnk irc is useless | 05:48 | |
| ZeloZelos | Saber-, its kinda ironic, i only got ubuntu/linux because blender runs way good (in its own environment) but then i got a new system because i needed more hardware for blender stuff hehee | 05:49 |
| ZeloZelos | and cant run blender because the driver broke the opengl, guess its another re-install for me | 05:50 |
| ZeloZelos | but leaving out the driver this time | 05:50 |
| Saber- | doh | 05:50 |
| zykotick9 | ZeloZelos: did i see you mention you have one of those intel/nvidia graphics cards? if so, i believe you need so special software to get that working correctly. | 05:50 |
| zykotick9 | s/so/some/ | 05:51 |
| ZeloZelos | zykotick9, yup yup, where do i start? hahaaa :)) | 05:51 |
| zykotick9 | ZeloZelos: sorry, i don't know - but someone else might. | 05:51 |
| ZeloZelos | zykotick9, where did you hear about it b4?..how do u know i prob need special software? | 05:52 |
| zykotick9 | ZeloZelos: i believe there are perhaps 2 competing options... i just don't have that hardware and thus have no personal experience. I've seen it discussed here several times before. | 05:52 |
| ZeloZelos | zykotick9, ah, gotcha...just breaks ma heart | 05:53 |
| Haze-_ | what irc client would you recommend for ubuntu | 05:53 |
| ZeloZelos | xchat | 05:53 |
| rattatoue | xchat | 05:53 |
| superdave321 | that's the default, right? | 05:54 |
| Haze-_ | yeah | 05:54 |
| superdave321 | thought so... | 05:54 |
| ZeloZelos | Haze-_, there is one that comes with kde its pretty nice too but dont know its name | 05:54 |
| rhin0 | haze__: pidgin | 05:55 |
| rhin0 | pidgin or xchat for a bit more sophistication | 05:56 |
| rhin0 | pidgin won't display unicode | 05:56 |
| haze__ | i use xchat, i thought pidgin was for IM apps ? | 05:56 |
| rhin0 | but pidgin is very basic and easy to set up/operate | 05:56 |
| ZeloZelos | can i install the nvidia driver that breaks opengl on a live session so i can mess with it w/o messing up the installed one? | 05:56 |
| rhin0 | pidgin will deal with im - pidgin was gaim (aol instant etc) | 05:56 |
| * Blue1 uses pidgin | 05:56 | |
| zykotick9 | ZeloZelos: won't work, nvidia requires a kernel modules, thus requires a reboot | 05:56 |
| ZeloZelos | dang | 05:56 |
| rhin0 | it'll deal with most chat protocols - very basic - part of most installations | 05:56 |
| rhin0 | xchat gives you a log of previous chat automatically - deals with colors - unicode | 05:57 |
| ZeloZelos | is it possible to install to usb instead of running live ? | 05:57 |
| Blue1 | so does pidgin | 05:57 |
| Saber- | Why can't my mediatomb or mythtv user access a symlink'd directory in their /home... unless I am currently logged into the server | 05:57 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: sure | 05:57 |
| Saber- | How does that even make sense | 05:57 |
| rhin0 | there is also bitchx which people use but that is ncurses - only works within bash shell - again - more power | 05:57 |
| Jordan_U | ZeloZelos: Yes. The same way you would install to an internal drive. | 05:57 |
| === tensorpudding_ is now known as tensorpudding | ||
| haze__ | test... 测试 | 05:57 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: ru trying to install linux to a flash drive? | 05:57 |
| rhin0 | blue1 - not automatically | 05:57 |
| haze__ | oh nice, i like unicode | 05:58 |
| terminhell | what about irssi for irc chat? | 05:58 |
| zykotick9 | rhin0: don't suggest bitchx (it's got issues), irssi is a good cli irc client | 05:58 |
| Blue1 | rhin0: true that | 05:58 |
| ZeloZelos | Blue1, just for testing but yeah, i have a 10gb flash | 05:58 |
| Saber- | ZeloZelos: Yeah, no problems. It's pretty neat to do that, and then use the internal drives for raid1 or something | 05:58 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: hang on I have a recipe for that. | 05:58 |
| sacarlson | ZeloZelos: how about making a custom iso file put it on usb to test your nvidia, not sure about the details | 05:58 |
| arubin | Why does the Ubuntu website recommend the 32-bit version? | 05:59 |
| ZeloZelos | sacarlson, then id have 2 learn how to make a custom iso, about how the drivers work, and how to diagnose/detect whats goin on on top of the subtle differances between running off usb vs hard drive | 05:59 |
| ZeloZelos | ill probably get no where anyhow, but its worth a shot | 05:59 |
| rattatoue | I would guess because if someone is new and has no idea what there doing, no matter if there computer can run 32 or 64, 32 will still work on both. | 06:00 |
| zykotick9 | ZeloZelos: Bumblebee is the name of one of those hybrid-graphics software | 06:00 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: http://pkill-9.com/ubuntu-2-go/ | 06:00 |
| lucascastro | arubin: cause 32bits run on both machines. | 06:00 |
| lucascastro | 32bits and 64bits | 06:00 |
| ZeloZelos | thank you Blue1 cant wait to dig in :) | 06:00 |
| cowslammer | . | 06:00 |
| Diaoer | i think 32bit soft is much than 64bit,and 32bit hardware is still more | 06:00 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: leave me some feedback - let me know how it goes | 06:00 |
| sacarlson | ZeloZelos: ya I'm not sure it's worth the trouble, just create another partition on the hd you have and try install a secound copy of ubuntu there | 06:01 |
| haze__ | how do you join a second irc server on xchat ? | 06:01 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: only 16 semiconvenient steps | 06:01 |
| cowslammer | blue1 pls re-open the private channel | 06:01 |
| Blue1 | haze__: /j #channelname | 06:01 |
| ZeloZelos | sacarlson, heh...didnt even think of that..good lookin out man! | 06:01 |
| rhin0 | arubin - because most machines were 32 bit | 06:01 |
| haze__ | bluel no a second server without disconnecting from the first server | 06:01 |
| Blue1 | haze__: oh don't use xchat so dunno -- I have use irssi though | 06:02 |
| superdave321 | haze__: on your contact list, Room>Join... | 06:02 |
| haze__ | ok | 06:02 |
| rhin0 | haze__: add server | 06:02 |
| cowslammer | blue1 vlc crashed the same way the other app | 06:02 |
| Saber- | in irssi you just type /connect <othernetwork> | 06:02 |
| ZeloZelos | Blue1, dont look too daunting to me @) ill get it going now, thanks again, im gonna do both, make the usb and a new partition to mess with, the usb ill make it a pocket copy to take to friends n show off hahaaa | 06:02 |
| Blue1 | cowslammer: okay let;s go to im? | 06:02 |
| haze__ | in mirc its /server -m servername to connect to multiple servers | 06:03 |
| haze__ | not sure about xchat though | 06:03 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: hopefully avoid the pitfalls.... | 06:03 |
| WaffleGod | http://imgur.com/hbwCr idk if anyone can see the error | 06:03 |
| WaffleGod | Will this disk still work | 06:03 |
| ZeloZelos | Blue1, n ill be sure to let you know how it went | 06:03 |
| ZeloZelos | in the comments | 06:03 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: thanks | 06:04 |
| Diaoer | i use the web.freenode.net,because soft version cant connect to freenode server | 06:04 |
| Saber- | WaffleGod: nope | 06:04 |
| ZeloZelos | i actually did this b4 but i used a microsd, and adapter, but you cant boot from that config | 06:04 |
| Jordan_U | WaffleGod: Probably not. | 06:04 |
| Saber- | Burn another one. | 06:04 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: yeah it's slower on a micro sd, depends on what class. | 06:04 |
| ZeloZelos | it was old | 06:04 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: and ext4 seems to work fine, no need to use ext2 - | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | ZeloZelos: You can boot from an SD card, as long as the firmware supports booting from USB (or from its internal card reader). | 06:05 |
| Saber- | There's a chance the error is some part of the cd you won't use in your install, but unless that's the last cd for a hundred miles, it's better to juts burn a new one | 06:05 |
| WaffleGod | I actually dont have another cd | 06:05 |
| WaffleGod | and I am new to ubuntu | 06:05 |
| WaffleGod | So i figured I would come here and ask | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | WaffleGod: Do you have a flash drive? | 06:05 |
| WaffleGod | Jordan_U Not where I am right now | 06:06 |
| === RenatoSilva is now known as Pikkachu | ||
| gome | This may be the wrong spot to ask but the support from the website directed me here, can anyone answer a quick question on installing ubuntu? | 06:06 |
| ZeloZelos | Jordan_U it wouldnt boot from the adapter with the microsd in it, probably works with an sd card though | 06:06 |
| gome | After booting from a usb drive, I hit install, and i'm treated to a seemingly unending screen of ................ I can hit esc to cancel and enter to start again. Is this the installation process or does there seem to be a problem? | 06:06 |
| sacarlson | WaffleGod: do you have a usb flash disk (key drive)? | 06:06 |
| Pikkachu | Jordan_U: oh I got oneiric installed lalala lalala | 06:06 |
| Jordan_U | gome: That is definitely *not* the installation process :) | 06:07 |
| WaffleGod | sacarlson not where I am now | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | gome: How did you create the USB drive? | 06:07 |
| Bsims | I got my new hw picked out 2nd gen core i5-2500, intel BOXDH67BLB3, 8 gig of ddr3, and a 1tb Caviar Black... any issues anyone know about graphics or stabilty wise? | 06:07 |
| ZeloZelos | gome did you use unetbootin or universal to install the installer/live cd ... and did you choose one of the recommended dist from the pulldowns or your own, if its your own it prob wont work | 06:07 |
| Pikkachu | gome: screenshots? | 06:07 |
| WaffleGod | How do I know what part of the cd is the error? | 06:07 |
| gome | hah. I figured as much. I used the unetbootin | 06:07 |
| Saber- | I like that my problem is too weird for anyone to have any idea how to help, lol | 06:07 |
| gome | sorry the universal | 06:07 |
| Bsims | Saber-: heh whats the issue? | 06:07 |
| sacarlson | WaffleGod: I assume from the error that the drive or the media is bad | 06:08 |
| ZeloZelos | gome downloaded a differant one instead of the ones listed? | 06:08 |
| Saber- | Why can't my mediatomb or mythtv user access a symlink'd directory in their /home... unless I am currently logged into the server | 06:08 |
| Pikkachu | Saber-: what problem | 06:08 |
| gome | and i downloaded 11.10 from ubuntu website | 06:08 |
| Blue1 | Saber-: permissions? | 06:08 |
| Bsims | Saber-: did you check the permissions for the destination of that symlink? | 06:08 |
| WaffleGod | sacarlson I think its my disk drive | 06:08 |
| Pikkachu | Saber-: oh sorry no idea | 06:08 |
| ZeloZelos | gome the installer for dvd's and such wont run right but the installer program will boot on some of them | 06:08 |
| gome | and don't have screenshots atm, working on a different comp | 06:08 |
| WaffleGod | I am not 100% sure however | 06:08 |
| Saber- | If I ssh in, it works fine. If I logout, it disappears from the mediatomb library | 06:08 |
| sacarlson | WaffleGod: so without eather a cd media or flash drive do you have another linux system that is running within access? | 06:08 |
| X-tonic | Is ubuntu considering a python3 move anytime soon? say by around 12.10? | 06:09 |
| WaffleGod | sacarlson nope | 06:09 |
| Bsims | Saber-: assuming your permissions are correct ya got a wierd one | 06:09 |
| WaffleGod | Should I just try reburning the disk, but at a slower speed | 06:09 |
| Saber- | lol ya... | 06:09 |
| Pikkachu | gome: I successfully installed the downloaded iso onto my usb stick today using unetbootin | 06:09 |
| gome | i followed ubuntu's instructions i thought on booting from a usb drive to install, what should i try instead? | 06:09 |
| Bsims | WaffleGod: Yup and check the md5sum for it | 06:09 |
| ejv | you don't need to wait for ubuntu, to get in on python3+ | 06:09 |
| WaffleGod | Bsims checked the md5 | 06:10 |
| sacarlson | WaffleGod: I have installed ubuntu from hd to hd, ok that almost covers it other than boot pxe | 06:10 |
| WaffleGod | its good | 06:10 |
| Pikkachu | X-tonic: applications need to be compatible with python 3 for it starting becoming default | 06:10 |
| Saber- | I guess I can just move the media into mediatomb's directory. | 06:10 |
| ZeloZelos | Blue1 is it necessary to make the windows partition on it? | 06:10 |
| Bsims | Yeah try it on a lower speed, but it should work | 06:10 |
| gome | It starts with Loading /casper/vmlinuz.... then continues with the ......s btw | 06:10 |
| X-tonic | ejv, yeah, i know i could just download and use py3, but py3 is been around for more than a year now | 06:10 |
| WaffleGod | ok, afk | 06:10 |
| sacarlson | WaffleGod: I have installed systems over ethernet with pxe but never used windows as a host but it can be done | 06:10 |
| Blue1 | ZeloZelos: no, but some people want that, that is how to do it though | 06:10 |
| X-tonic | and now i believe most of the apps work with py3 | 06:11 |
| ZeloZelos | Blue1, ah ok | 06:11 |
| * Bsims is off to bed | 06:11 | |
| WaffleGod | sacarlson I am not that good with this stuff, yet, and dont really have another computer I can use | 06:11 |
| Pikkachu | X-tonic: so you'd expect everybody or like 90% to have migrated from py2? that didn't happen afaik | 06:11 |
| gome | i'm wondering if maybe i missed some sort of setup process before where i'm at | 06:11 |
| WaffleGod | well, imma do it at 1x write speed | 06:11 |
| WaffleGod | cant go wrong there | 06:11 |
| Pikkachu | X-tonic: yeah your belief is wrong afaik | 06:11 |
| Jordan_U | gome: It's probably a bug of some sort, rather than an error on your part. | 06:11 |
| sacarlson | WaffleGod: then I would wait and buy a usb flash drive for like $4 and do it later | 06:12 |
| terminhell | gome: have you tried dd? | 06:12 |
| Pikkachu | gome: can't you just do it again, unetbootin? | 06:12 |
| gome | thanks, yeah I can try that. It took an hour and a half for some reason to burn the iso though | 06:12 |
| WaffleGod | sacarlson I am going to try burning it at a really low speed and see if it works | 06:12 |
| gome | and what's dd? | 06:12 |
| sacarlson | WaffleGod: yes always use the slowest speeds posible | 06:13 |
| terminhell | ill take that as a no. nvm, not sure how easily it would be to use to burn a cd anyways | 06:13 |
| WaffleGod | was using 12x before, gunna try on like 2x | 06:13 |
| Pikkachu | gome: it took me no more than 5 minutes to extract the iso onto the usb stick, yours seems a bit slow no? | 06:13 |
| Jordan_U | gome: Can you try booying the USB on another machine? | 06:13 |
| BoomerBile | is mod_rewrite enabled by default in ubuntu with apache2 freshly installed? | 06:13 |
| rhin0 | usb-creator-gtk I always use | 06:13 |
| rhin0 | it can take a while | 06:13 |
| terminhell | usb 1.1 drive???? | 06:14 |
| Pikkachu | BoomerBile: I don't believe it is | 06:14 |
| ZeloZelos | ok, off 2 reboot n install to usb | 06:14 |
| gome | it was extremely slow, i'm not sure why it took so long. thought it was strange too. This system I am on should be more than capable unless the usb drive i'm usually is just extremely terrible | 06:14 |
| BoomerBile | Pikkachu, what do i need to install to get it working? | 06:14 |
| X-tonic | hm.. possibly.. but on gentoo for instance, about half a year back too, i could get nowhere with py3. Now however, each and every package I have installed, has been installed with py 3.2 and all of it working fine. | 06:14 |
| rhin0 | usb is slow | 06:14 |
| rhin0 | its a lot of data | 06:14 |
| gome | i can try dual booting on this system | 06:14 |
| ZeloZelos | thank s for the help guys and keep gettin da linux on ! | 06:14 |
| sacarlson | BoomerBile: I don't think so but not sure | 06:14 |
| Pikkachu | BoomerBile: no idea | 06:14 |
| rhin0 | i mean flash is slow to write to | 06:14 |
| Pikkachu | BoomerBile: I'd search for some package | 06:14 |
| terminhell | with unetbootin you may have to set the 'boot' flag in gparted or something else | 06:15 |
| === mint is now known as c31r2g | ||
| sacarlson | BoomerBile: as I have mod_rewite active on mine but I think I changed it or a package I installed did | 06:15 |
| terminhell | and in some bios's you have to manually select the usb drive from the bios dev boot options | 06:15 |
| X-tonic | All I am saying is that at sometime the leap has to be made, and jumping to py3 as default will only accelerate the py3 migration of obsolete packages | 06:16 |
| Pikkachu | rhin0: I've downoaded oneiric iso today abd burnt it onto my sub stick with unetbootin, it took me just a few minutes... it was just about extracting not burning | 06:16 |
| terminhell | and sometimes just keep trying to boot from it a few times. Unetbootin is buggy at times | 06:16 |
| gome | gotcha yeah i'll try it again | 06:16 |
| Pikkachu | gome: I think it shouldn't be that slow even in USB 1.x | 06:16 |
| gome | i'm trying to see if i can boot from the system i'm chatting on | 06:16 |
| Pikkachu | gome: it's not a burning process, it just extracts the iso onto your usb drive | 06:16 |
| terminhell | well, its a bit more than that | 06:17 |
| gome | oh gotcha | 06:17 |
| rhin0 | anything <= 5 minutes isn't an issue - point is whether it succeeds in the burn | 06:17 |
| gast2root | howto hide fast user switching in main bar? | 06:17 |
| c31r2g | live disk ubuntu 11.04 with unetbootin doesnt work atleast for me,use pendrivelinux soft instead | 06:17 |
| BoomerBile | thanks sacarlson | 06:17 |
| terminhell | with usb, best bet is dd. period. | 06:17 |
| * rhin0 never got ubuntu 10.10 to install once | 06:17 | |
| rhin0 | gave up on it | 06:18 |
| gome | would running ubuntu from this computer, installing inside windows from this usb drive i created from universal usb installer serve as the testing i need to determine the problem? | 06:18 |
| rhin0 | skipped it (won't install) | 06:18 |
| zykotick9 | terminhell: almost as good as cat ;) | 06:18 |
| gome | or should i try something other than universal usb installer? | 06:18 |
| BoomerBile | sacarlson, i guess it's a2enmod rewrite, then edit the conf files to allowoverride... | 06:18 |
| terminhell | dd... | 06:18 |
| sacarlson | BoomerBile: sounds about right | 06:19 |
| BoomerBile | sacarlson, thanks | 06:19 |
| sacarlson | BoomerBile: can't hurt to enable it two times even if it's already active | 06:19 |
| BoomerBile | sacarlson, yeah... gentoo guy here, don't use ubuntu much but i chose that for my server i'm renting... taking some getting used to | 06:20 |
| grkblood | how do i set deluge as my default torrent app in google chrome? | 06:22 |
| terminhell | its a desktop global | 06:22 |
| terminhell | preferred applications | 06:22 |
| gome | i guess i'll try to extract it again | 06:22 |
| superdave321 | having problem with my bluetooth dongle with usb id 0a12:0001. any help would be awesome. | 06:23 |
| terminhell | gome what OS are you using to make the usb image? | 06:23 |
| grkblood | tereserm23, i dont see torrent as an option for default applications | 06:23 |
| gome | xp sp3 | 06:24 |
| terminhell | first, make sure the usb is fat32 formated. | 06:24 |
| gome | got that | 06:24 |
| rattatoue | anyone got xbmc in ubuntu? I installed it and when I go to start it, it complains about missing OPENGL or something, but I am running on the latest Nvidia driver. | 06:25 |
| terminhell | download the OS iso manually. then with unetbootin select the .iso image option to manually search for the file. | 06:25 |
| gome | done that | 06:25 |
| rattatoue | gome, by any chance is the USB not booting? | 06:26 |
| gome | still don't know why the installer takes so long to extract onto the usb | 06:26 |
| terminhell | because | 06:26 |
| gome | it is booting to usb, i get the GUI for ubuntu at boot, so it is right? | 06:26 |
| rattatoue | gome, yes | 06:26 |
| terminhell | it has to unzip a huge amount of data | 06:26 |
| superdave321 | rattatoue: Someone here was just saying that the newest nvidia driver actually breaks opengl... | 06:26 |
| rattatoue | superdave321, *facepalms* | 06:27 |
| gome | I apologize for being painfully new to linux. I've only used windows and I've read up on ubuntu and trying to install it on the laptop to see what i think | 06:27 |
| gome | the extraction is taking forever again | 06:27 |
| rattatoue | superdave321, okay ty | 06:27 |
| superdave321 | rattatoue: np | 06:27 |
| sacarlson | gome: is it a very old laptop? | 06:27 |
| rattatoue | gome, maybe your computer is slow | 06:28 |
| gome | the laptop is pretty old, my computer should be fine | 06:28 |
| rhin0 | I always use usb-creator-gtk (sudo usb-creator-gtk) gome - blank the usb then select the image iso, write - is always straightforward - so what if it takes a few minutes - 100% reliable | 06:28 |
| gome | unless i'm missing something | 06:28 |
| sacarlson | gome: try another usb plug if available | 06:28 |
| rhin0 | otherwise write to a dvd - just write the iso (right click on the file in the file manager (nautilus)) and write after setting properties so it writes at the lowest speed | 06:29 |
| gome | 3 ghz athlon 64 x2, 6000+, 3 gbs ram | 06:29 |
| gome | i'll try another plug, good idea | 06:29 |
| rhin0 | possibly his usb key is not blanked still has the windows filing system on it | 06:29 |
| plouffe | when I type "arp" it shows me about 50 IP addresses, all on the same interface, but only two entries with associated MAC addresses. Anyone know what all those entries doing there? | 06:29 |
| rhin0 | way to blank them in windows | 06:29 |
| sacarlson | gome: I have a system that has two usb buses one is the older 1.X and one it 2.X and one boots much faster than the other | 06:29 |
| gome | and i may try usb-creator-gtk instead, thanks | 06:29 |
| gome | alright thanks | 06:29 |
| rhin0 | just play around with it until you manage to blank the usb - sometimes you get locks with the usb filing system vs ubuntu | 06:30 |
| rhin0 | unplug etc or even reboot | 06:30 |
| rhin0 | always works eventually | 06:30 |
| rhin0 | just usb complication | 06:30 |
| gome | gotcha yeah i've formatted it a couple times just to check | 06:31 |
| roshan | quit | 06:31 |
| terminhell | plouffe: it could be other devices in your area. | 06:32 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: I'm guessing wifi and your on a fringe of it and each reconect it provided another address | 06:33 |
| * rhin0 musta re-formatted written iso to usb key hundred times | 06:34 | |
| sacarlson | plouffe: or it could be others on the wifi fringe | 06:34 |
| rhin0 | always reliable with usb-creator-gtk - generally on 32 bit ubuntu 10.04 cheap laptop | 06:34 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, these entries are all for eth1 | 06:34 |
| gome | looking for usb-creator-gtk for windows xp | 06:34 |
| rhin0 | its not a windows package | 06:34 |
| rhin0 | its a linux package | 06:35 |
| * rhin0 sighs | 06:35 | |
| === king_ is now known as Guest35701 | ||
| rhin0 | you need a windows iso usb writer | 06:35 |
| terminhell | just other wifi devices....smartphones, laptops that arent authenticated to your particular AP. Your wifi card can detect these devices, but normally wont display or interact with them | 06:35 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: eth1 is wired? but it also has a wifi access point on it? | 06:35 |
| === Guest35701 is now known as Kinglau | ||
| rhin0 | maybe there is a copy of the package for xp - don't know I don't run windows | 06:35 |
| Ludlow | I launched startx and then it killed itself :( | 06:35 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, but shouldn't these entries have been deleted, and why are there no MAC addresses associated | 06:35 |
| rhin0 | once you're across you're across | 06:35 |
| terminhell | *aside from aircrack | 06:35 |
| gome | ah yeah i thought that's what you were telling me it was, sorry, yeah I need a windows iso usb writer | 06:35 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: no they will delete after a time out | 06:35 |
| terminhell | Ludlow: dont use emo DM's | 06:35 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, wifi adapter is wlan0 | 06:35 |
| rhin0 | can't even remember the name | 06:35 |
| Ludlow | terminhell: what is EMO? | 06:36 |
| rhin0 | sometimes it's simpler just to cut a cd or dvd -- usb can be more problematic | 06:36 |
| rhin0 | because it has to mount it to write to it | 06:36 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: well I take it your location has a wifi on that lan? | 06:36 |
| WaffleGod | http://imgur.com/fMmA3 | 06:36 |
| gome | gotcha. yeah don't have any discs handy tonight at least | 06:36 |
| WaffleGod | Did it at 1x speed | 06:36 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, yes | 06:36 |
| WaffleGod | debating wether I should just use it | 06:36 |
| rhin0 | and there can be filing system issues - or residual stuff you can't get rid of on the usb drive - google - "how to completely blank a usb" | 06:36 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, timeout? there is only 2 computers connected now. and during the day it's at most 4 | 06:37 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: if dhcpd is running on the ubuntu box you can look at the dhcp logs and see what mac was used when they were activ | 06:37 |
| Ludlow | terminhell: what is emos DM's> | 06:37 |
| terminhell | usb's do have a finite amount of writes. They will fail eventually just like any other drive | 06:37 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, do you know the location of the dhcp logs? | 06:37 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: yes the setting of the dhcp timeout when the licence expires for the ip | 06:37 |
| WaffleGod | Anyone know how to tell what part of the disk the error is, and if using it will fuck my install | 06:38 |
| gome | gotcha, i'll look into that | 06:38 |
| zykotick9 | Ludlow: it was a joke. EMO is a music genre/subculture. | 06:38 |
| terminhell | zykotick9: thanks, i didnt want to explain that | 06:38 |
| Ludlow | do you know what my kde is crashing and the killing itself? | 06:38 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: I'm not sure where your dhcp is running, if your a normal house it would be running in your adsl router but you can disable that one and run a dhcp on your ubuntu to detect what they are | 06:38 |
| terminhell | does kde rely on dbus? | 06:39 |
| WaffleGod | Anyone know how to tell what part of the disk the error is, and if using it will fuck my install | 06:39 |
| terminhell | WaffleGod: if you have a bad disk, the problem will get worse. buy a new drive | 06:39 |
| WaffleGod | terminhell laptop | 06:40 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: anther solution is you could write a small script to record arp -n each X minits over a day or more to capture the mac address at diferent times | 06:40 |
| WaffleGod | thats not really an option | 06:40 |
| terminhell | why not? | 06:40 |
| terminhell | you can change laptop hdd's | 06:40 |
| WaffleGod | terminhell The error was on a cd, that i was burning to install ubuntu with | 06:40 |
| WaffleGod | by disk i meant cd | 06:40 |
| terminhell | oh | 06:40 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, ok I will look into that. But right now you are saying there are no dhcpd logs on my computer? | 06:41 |
| terminhell | doesnt it come with a 'scan media for error's option? | 06:41 |
| === Kinglau is now known as kinglau | ||
| sacarlson | plouffe: there is no way for me to know, as I assume you didn't install dhcpd | 06:41 |
| styles | Hey guys I'm trying to use gparted and partition my drive so I can have it run Ext4 ... but I installed Ubuntu via the windows app and it stored it on the same installation as the windows installation and it's NTFS ... is it just me or will gparted not allow you to resize a disc while in | 06:41 |
| styles | use* | 06:42 |
| terminhell | plouffe: your video card driver may not be installed or not supported | 06:42 |
| terminhell | plouffe: sorry wrong person | 06:42 |
| plouffe | ok | 06:42 |
| terminhell | Ludlow: your vid card driver may not be installed/configured properly | 06:42 |
| WaffleGod | terminhell i scanned it | 06:43 |
| terminhell | styles: no | 06:43 |
| WaffleGod | http://imgur.com/fMmA3 | 06:43 |
| WaffleGod | theres my error | 06:43 |
| Ludlow | terminhell: COuld you it be because its running in a VM? | 06:43 |
| WaffleGod | can i use this ubuntu install disk | 06:43 |
| terminhell | Ludlow: probably | 06:43 |
| styles | no I can't terminhell ? or no it's just me | 06:43 |
| sacarlson | plouffe: oh another method is you can login to your adsl box and see the log there, each of those boxes are different so I can't help any more with that | 06:43 |
| terminhell | styles: best way would be to just reinstall with a larger size | 06:43 |
| Ludlow | terminhell: do you know the command for xconfig? | 06:43 |
| plouffe | sacarlson, yes I was just trying that | 06:43 |

| WaffleGod | can i use this ubuntu install disk | 06:44 |
| terminhell | WaffleGod: have you tried other disc? that one could just be scrached or faulty | 06:46 |
| WaffleGod | terminhell I dont think I have another CD-RW anywhere | 06:47 |
| WaffleGod | just a ton of CD-R's | 06:47 |
| terminhell | WaffleGod: use them instead? | 06:47 |
| terminhell | also, where did you get the iso? | 06:48 |
| macele | Anybody else have an obnoxious bright yellow screen when they're rebooting after installing the proprietary amd drivers? | 06:48 |
| terminhell | i wrather enjoy its yellowness...how dare you call it obnoxious | 06:49 |
| terminhell | no | 06:49 |
| macele | god it's so bad... burns my retinas | 06:49 |
| macele | everything else seems to work fine, but when I reboot I get that screen for line 15-20 seconds. I have to hide my eyes | 06:50 |
| WaffleGod | terminhell got the iso from the official site, and the CD-R's all have stuff on them | 06:50 |
| nbubuntu | hi , anyone know which channel to discuss android apps dev ? | 06:51 |
| styles | I just stuck a blank disc into my drive (not paying attention it's not a DVD it was CD). Ubuntu now claims it's in use (it's wrong). To further the annoyance it says the device /dev/sr0 is in use.. when I go to umount it (ie: umount /dev/sr0) the device /dev/sr0 isn't found :-/ | 06:51 |
| terminhell | mount it to /dev/null as root? | 06:52 |
| terminhell | nbubuntu: nope | 06:53 |
| pksadiq` | !alis | nbubuntu | 06:53 |
| ubottu | nbubuntu: 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* | 06:53 |
| macele | nbubuntu: #android-dev maybe? | 06:53 |

| bobo37773 | WaffleGod: ouch. why wubi? | 06:56 |
| styles | I installed via wubi recently | 06:57 |
| styles | TERRRRRIBLE idea | 06:57 |
| terminhell | sure, if you can manage to setup an LVM partition with 2 primaries within that, ghost your iso to one, and figure out how to then boot the iso from that ghosted partition, then run the install to install to the second partition within the LVM | 06:57 |

| Ben64 | Krisx: just manually edit the file | 07:24 |
| geirha | amoffat: It's whatever application that is writing to the pty that is responsible for those CRs | 07:24 |
| Krisx | I tried, its empty, the conflicting line doesn't even exist it seems | 07:25 |
| amoffat | geirha, interesting. i'm seeing them from /bin/ls. i guess ls is writing them... | 07:25 |
| sacarlson | Krisx: I would think you could just delete the known_hosts file and the message will go away | 07:26 |
| geirha | amoffat: It shouldn't. Perhaps your filenames end with \r? | 07:26 |
| Ben64 | Krisx: cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 07:26 |

| betz1 | Hi! I have a problem with my nvidia card. I had 10.04 running with 2.6.32 kernel i think. I upgraded kernel to 3.0.0-15-server. I had xbmc-standalone running on this box and all worked. when i try modprobe nvidia i get message that module nvidia is not found. What should i do? | 07:48 |
| theadmin | ...I just tried to tab-complete "morning" :/ | 07:49 |
| LigH | :D | 07:49 |
| theadmin | betz1: The module might be renamed (iirc it's "nvidia-current" now), but then again if you're using an unofficial kernel, some modules might fail to work with it | 07:50 |
| apt-getter | betz, I am also getting the same error with my nvidia card | 07:50 |
| Ben64 | betz1: 10.04 doesn't have a 3.0 kernel | 07:50 |
| bobo37773 | betz1: rebuild nvidia | 07:51 |
| LigH | Recently I tested a few additional arts and desktop themes, amogn others also some from Edubuntu. Since then, Ubuntu starts with a gray-on-gray console with the title "Edubuntu 11.10", which I don't like. I tried to uninstall all packages starting with "edubuntu*", but it persists. How do I set it back? | 07:51 |
| betz1 | Ben64: i installed it with apt-get install linux-image-3.0.0-15-server | 07:52 |
| rabbi11 | urfr332gO: can't find :( | 07:52 |
| apt-getter | LigH, you want to change the splash screen? | 07:52 |
| rabbi11 | fdisk -l also results nothing | 07:52 |
| urfr332gO | rabbi11, you can use the disk utility or gparted as well to look at the HD, it may not be there. | 07:53 |
| betz1 | theadmin: nvidia-current is already the newest version | 07:53 |
| LigH | apt-getter: It is the console "below" the splash. I once removed the "quiet splash" boot options to check why my PC often hangs while initializing devices but couldn't find any interesting warnings. | 07:54 |
| theadmin | betz1: Well, can you modprobe that? | 07:54 |
| betz1 | nope, not nvidia, nor nvidia-current | 07:54 |
| betz1 | not found | 07:54 |
| rabbi11 | urfr332gO: i was lookin into it, i got 250 GB total, 12 GB ext3, and another 238 GB extended.... :( that's it ? | 07:54 |
| safa | theadmin: I restarted, and tried to print again.. no result for that HP p1006 printer. | 07:54 |
| apt-getter | check out this link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-settings-for-the-bootloader-and-splash-screen-in-ubuntu.html | 07:54 |
| Ben64 | betz1: you should go back to 2.6 kernel | 07:55 |
| apt-getter | this might have an option for adjusting the screen you want to change | 07:55 |
| urfr332gO | rabbi11, not knowing exactlt what you did I can't say more than the hd shows what is there. You have just one HD correct? | 07:55 |
| urfr332gO | exactly | 07:55 |
| theadmin | LigH: There's this bootsplash package, uh... "gfxboot-theme-ubuntu" I think, you need to install that. | 07:55 |
| betz1 | ok, i wanted to have basic lirc working with upgrading to that kernel. Where it also works now. | 07:56 |
| rabbi11 | how to force mount /dev/sd2 ? | 07:56 |
| LigH | theadmin: I believe there are several boot themes installed, just Synaptic did not list those with "edu" in the middle of a package name. / apt-getter: I believe "Manage bootloader themes" is the button I will click and see... | 07:56 |
| urfr332gO | rabbi11, you can imagebin the Hd looked at with gparted if you like. | 07:56 |
| Ben64 | betz1: 3.0 kernel is backport, and isn't supported like the standard one is | 07:56 |
| rabbi11 | urfr332gO: how could i do that? | 07:57 |
| rabbi11 | got to load gparted ? | 07:57 |
| theadmin | rabbi11: "/dev/sd2" is not a device node udev would ever create | 07:57 |
| urfr332gO | rabbi11, take a screen shot with the prtsc key or app then put that image at a website I will give you so we can look at it. | 07:57 |
| betz1 | Ben64: ok, installing latest 2.6 | 07:58 |
| betz1 | 2.6.38-13-server | 07:58 |
| urfr332gO | rabbi11, put the image here and post the url. http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | 07:58 |
| LigH | I'll better use grub-custmizer; startup-manager is not really grub2 compatible... | 07:58 |
| LigH | Ah, no ... it is not grub, it is afterwards. | 07:59 |
| bobo37773 | betz1: cant you just reinstall nvidia | 07:59 |
| urfr332gO | rabbi11, yeah in the terminal sudo apt-get install gparted | 07:59 |
| LigH | So maybe a bash config detail. | 08:00 |
| betz1 | bobo37773: how do i do that? | 08:03 |

| aramisw | omg | 08:40 |
| Hubbbe | thats the problem o.O | 08:40 |
| playit | are there any people who run their own business here and would you honestly recommend me use GNUcash / openoffice for it.. | 08:40 |
| llutz | Hubbbe: LSPCI lowercase, not lscpi | 08:40 |
| terminhell | install pciutils then | 08:40 |
| Hubbbe | i did that | 08:41 |
| aramisw | i never use those | 08:41 |
| llutz | Hubbbe: you didn't [09:39:23] <Hubbbe> lscpi: command not found | 08:41 |
| Ben64 | playit: whats wrong with them? | 08:41 |
| Hubbbe | oh | 08:41 |

| sacarlson | K-4U: when you say you don't have cli access to internet, does that mean that wget a page fails? maybe just port 80 works on your isp? | 08:42 |
| K-4U | sacarlson: can´t ping either.. | 08:42 |
| sacarlson | K-4U: ping is not port 80 and most windows systems mask ping | 08:42 |
| Hubbbe | hubbe@Hubbe:~$ lspci|grep vga | 08:43 |

| K-4U | sacarlson: I can´t install packages, doesn´t that include port 80? | 08:44 |
| gordon1234 | oops ... to late :-) | 08:44 |

| pnorman_win | K-4U: What's your ISP? | 08:45 |
| god-zotac | guess i could share this info if anyone has a e-350/450 apu and trying to get hardware acceleration working with xv in precise 12.04.. don't expect it to work for a while. xv playback is broken with fglrx in versions 11.11, 11.12, and 12.1. however gl playback is fine with hardware acceleration in fglrx version 11.12, but not in 12.1 or 11.11. i messed with it all night until i figured out the optimal settings with the latest xorg abi | 08:45 |
| K-4U | pnorman_win: No idea.. i´m at work now.. i´m from holland | 08:45 |
| playit | i'll take this to offtopic.. If anyone wants to talk about it there | 08:45 |

| terminhell | Hubbbe: see if you have an option of enabling/disabling one or the other | 08:52 |

| abuanoname2 | Hai am need make or used standar gnome on ubntu 11.10 | 08:57 |
| playit | which virtualbox guest runs the best on linux? | 08:57 |
| abuanoname2 | Who i can.. Am not love unity | 08:57 |
| playit | mac or windows? | 08:57 |
| theadmin | abuanoname2: You can't use gnome2 anymore, it's dead | 08:57 |
| ryanyeah | terminhell: not that i'm aware of. Ben64: i'm using the default "Remote desktop" included in ubuntu and it doesn't seem to have many options | 08:58 |
| oCean | !nounity | abuanoname2 | 08:58 |
| ubottu | abuanoname2: 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 | 08:58 |
| theadmin | playit: Mac hardly works in Virtualbox at all (last I tested, Lion failed on me at least), Windows NT and up works fine, any Linux distro with kernel 2.6+ work fine too | 08:58 |
| abuanoname2 | Am need install compiz 3d cobe on ububtu 11.10 | 08:58 |
| playit | thanks | 08:58 |

| theadmin | abuanoname2: Install "compizconfig-settings-manager" and enable the Cube plugin. | 09:01 |

| oCean | erik32533: this is not the channel to rant about browsers. Have you verified java is working (for other aplications?) | 09:14 |
| erik32533 | ya already did | 09:14 |
| erik32533 | 'firefox | 09:14 |
| erik32533 | 10 | 09:14 |

| erik32533 | wud not get there | 09:14 |
| oCean | erik32533: Have you verified java is working for other aplications? | 09:15 |
| Jordan_U | tonesfrommars: Do you remember what error message you got from "insmod normal" at the grub rescue shell? | 09:15 |
| georgieee | gordon1234, well grsync is the gui for rsync so yes. | 09:15 |
| erik32533 | how do i verify | 09:15 |
| erik32533 | yahoo says it verified | 09:15 |
| === XLV_ is now known as XLV | ||
| erik32533 | if not i cud not playt games | 09:16 |
| tonesfrommars | yes, any insmod commands returned "ntfscomp module not loaded" or something to that effect | 09:16 |
| oCean | erik32533: there are test pages, such as http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp | 09:16 |
| tonesfrommars | However, I have made some headway since then, now I can actually get a grub prompt. | 09:16 |
| tonesfrommars | I have been booting from a "super grub2 disk" | 09:17 |
| erik32533 | yea its verified | 09:17 |
| Jordan_U | tonesfrommars: If you use the "Detect any GRUB2 installation" option from Super GRUB2 Disk does grub load properly? | 09:19 |
| gordon1234 | georgieee, if you are doing an rsync -av (standard backup option), it does take a while as it copies all the file permissions etc. Even slower if you are doing it between different physical drives. Still faster than anything else I have found | 09:19 |
| gordon1234 | georgieee, it will be much faster the second time as only the changes are copied! | 09:19 |
| tonesfrommars | and trying to grub-install from the terminal, but I'm finding it difficult since the "main" drive, the only one bios sees as bootable, is not the one I run ubuntu from. | 09:20 |
| MeriD | Hello. How can I exclude files with a specific prefix with wildcards? | 09:20 |
| georgieee | gordon1234, yeah I know. still it is very annoying that it takes longer than copy/paste. | 09:20 |
| erik32533 | is opera web browser around or is it dead | 09:20 |
| cowslammer | i just instlled 11.10. firefox has no button bar. is there some key I have toapply to get it back? | 09:20 |
| theadmin | erik32533: It's very much alive lol | 09:20 |
| theadmin | cowslammer: The menu is at the top bar, like it usually is with Unity | 09:20 |
| erik32533 | not as good as firefox im sure | 09:21 |
| georgieee | gordon1234, I am syncing 8GBSD-Card <> Hard Drive - estimated time: 90minutes | 09:21 |
| theadmin | erik32533: There's no "good" or "bad", it's a matter of taste, I like Chrome much more than Firefox personally. | 09:21 |
| erik32533 | wish chrome wud allow u to change interface | 09:22 |
| Jordan_U | tonesfrommars: If it does, then that likely means that the core.img embedded after the mbr does not match the one in /boot/grub/. If grub still fails to load, then you've probably run run into a grub bug. | 09:22 |
| cowslammer | theadmin i hate to argue but there is no menu | 09:22 |
| gordon1234 | georgieee, copy/paste won't copy the file permissions properly and will give you issues if it is for back/restore purposes. Fine for just copying stuff though and I am sure there is an rsync option that would do this. | 09:22 |
| theadmin | cowslammer: Oh, uh, I mean, the top panel, at the *very* top of the screen (not top of window, top of screen) | 09:22 |
| theadmin | cowslammer: Hover your mouse over there and you'll see the usual menu appear | 09:23 |
| tonesfrommars | Jordan_U: Yes, it appears to load the original config, with my splash image and menu options. | 09:23 |
| tonesfrommars | With one difference, there are many duplicate entries for the linux OS | 09:23 |
| Jordan_U | tonesfrommars: OK. That means that *properly* running grub-install should fix the problem. | 09:23 |
| Jordan_U | tonesfrommars: Can you pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc"? | 09:24 |
| tonesfrommars | Jordan_U: One other piece of relevant info to bounce off you: I first apt-get installed grub, but then later realized I needed grub-pc, I think that explains the legacy grub on the one drive. | 09:25 |
| theadmin | erik32533: "change interface"? It has tons of themes, you can drag buttons around freely, extensions add nifty bits to the interface too. | 09:25 |

| === MeriD is now known as MeirD | ||
| Jordan_U | tonesfrommars: OK. I think that grub-install might not be running properly on upgrades. I recommend running "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy". It will ask you what drives to install grub to, use space bar to select devices and the enter key to continue. You should select both drives (that way booting won't fail if your BIOS decides to boot from a different drive) but you should *not* select any partitions. | 09:31 |
| cowslammer | can someone tell me how to get sun java? | 09:32 |
| Jordan_U | !java | cowslammer | 09:32 |
| ubottu | cowslammer: 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. | 09:32 |

| Pikkachu | theadmin: precise packages backported to oneiric? why not just put it there in main repos 'security' and 'update'? | 09:48 |
| theadmin | Pikkachu: Not so sure really, Ubuntu people have some weird release system (not apply major updates to existing releases, just make users get the newer release) | 09:48 |

| DangerousDave | Hi All! | 10:07 |
| aBound | Most people tend to recommend LTS releases due to the long-term support. Fixes are more likely to fixed more often so it seems. | 10:08 |
| Pikkachu | aBound: it looks like the other releases are steps towards a freeze which they call LTS | 10:09 |
| Pikkachu | aBound: so they don't matter that much to experiment with stuff in the other releases, but they wonder to be stable in LTS I suppose | 10:09 |
| aBound | Pikkachu, Kinda like what Fedora does with it's Enterprise product. | 10:09 |

| hypeBoy | hi, how can i install divx player for websites? or is there any alternative i can use? | 10:10 |
| Pikkachu | aBound: I'm not sure if I like this :( | 10:10 |
| aBound | Pikkachu, At least you can expect a more stable release at best. Before moving onto the next upgrade. | 10:11 |
| Pikkachu | aBound: but you keep stuck on old software | 10:12 |
| aBound | Usually, latest releases try to keep an update to date package repository. Yet, there are bound to be a few unstable packages in each release. | 10:13 |
| Pikkachu | aBound: you're already stuck in regular releases, much more with LTS :( I imagine they do a lot of backporting for LTS | 10:13 |
| aBound | Pikkachu, Put it this way would you rather have stability or the latest packages? | 10:14 |
| crizzy | PPA's are for updating newer softies you need | 10:14 |
| aBound | The saying goes: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". :) | 10:14 |
| hypeBoy | Pikkachu: how can i install divx web player. i wanna play divx videos on websites | 10:14 |
| aBound | Like VIM for example I doubt I'd need a new release when one comes out as it might only include minor features. Yet, if a vulnerability exist in the program itself an update is definitely necessary. | 10:15 |
| pawa | LUSERS | 10:17 |
| Pikkachu | aBound: that's why I imagine a lot of backporting...because time is often a bug itself... for example libreoffice releases new stuff with big improvements you feel annoyed not having access to, and lots of bug fixing...usptream tend to not support old versions and encourange updating... while in ubuntu these old versions are still there in the LTSes to be maintained... by Canonical (that's why I imagine a lot of backporting for the most important bugs) | 10:17 |
| Pikkachu | hypeBoy: I have no idea | 10:17 |
| crizzy | sigh | 10:18 |
| crizzy | again: PPA's are exactly for that - updating certain packages outside the distro updates | 10:18 |
| aBound | Pikkachu, I agree with the whole bugs aspect but with newer features it's only necessary if it benefits you in some way otherwise upgrading may not be necessary. But I know some people like to stay up to date and I won't disregard that. | 10:19 |
| Pikkachu | crizzy: ok everybody has listened to you, so will you create a reilable ppa for all packages forever? btw I don't trust your ppas | 10:20 |

| aBound | He does have a valid point it's just using Ubuntu or any Linux distribution tends to work different from other OS's. | 10:21 |

| RobinJ1995 | aBound, i know... i just said i reinstalled the one from the normal repo's (4.x). But i might have forgotten to install some packages again :s | 10:37 |
| RobinJ1995 | is it normal that I can't seem to find a sessions folder anymore in Ubuntu 11.10? | 10:37 |
| aBound | Not that I know of. | 10:39 |
| digitalunity | could someone give me a pointer on unpacking atar file pls? | 10:39 |
| aBound | You can check for broken dependencies and using: sudo apt-get check | 10:40 |
| RobinJ1995 | ... | 10:41 |
| RobinJ1995 | aBound, they arent broken anymore.... because i installed the older ones again... i just think i forgot to install some vital package which causes lightdm to not being able to launch a unity session | 10:41 |
| aBound | RobinJ1995, Are you able to install another GUI such as gnome-shell from a terminal? | 10:42 |
| RobinJ1995 | aBound, i can chroot into the system.... but do i have to install a lot of bloat? xD | 10:42 |

| RobinJ1995 | chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error | 10:43 |
| RobinJ1995 | right... chrooting from a 32-bits distro into a 64-bits environment seems to be a ngo | 10:43 |
| RobinJ1995 | *no-go | 10:43 |
| [deXter] | Duh. :P | 10:43 |
| aBound | HA! I'd say just install it from now and you can remove it later. You can delete the excess from using these commands: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean | 10:43 |
| [deXter] | You can't chroot from 32 to 64. | 10:43 |
| RobinJ1995 | i know. only i forgot that bodhi linux only has a 32-bit iso | 10:44 |

| [deXter] | Heh.. heya aBound. :) | 10:44 |
| aBound | Looks like when he installed a testing version of Unity 5.4 all you can expect is problems. But thereafter when he upgraded it could of removed a few packages necessary to use an older version of Unity. | 10:45 |
| [deXter] | Ouch. | 10:46 |
| RobinJ1995 | ok lets try again | 10:47 |
| aBound | RobinJ1995, I would say if you were logged into gnome-shell you can check Synaptic. | 10:48 |

And after updating, Tomcat6 is really slow and takes up 101% of memory (1 CPU core out of 4). Is there a way to fix this? Installing Tomcat7 didn't fix anything. | 11:08 |
| RobinJ1995 | yeas... because lightdm isnt a sessiob but a display manager | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Parham: you're going to have to research that update and see what it changed and how it effects your config/system | 11:09 |
| aspirintoo | does anybody know how to use make install, it doesn't work? | 11:09 |

| Parham | ikonia: Thanks for the answer. how may I research an update? | 11:09 |

| chucknorris | i got a question | 11:10 |
| RobinJ1995 | ^ | 11:10 |
| RobinJ1995 | :p | 11:10 |
| ruhil | DarkStar1: close means kill the process?? then try alt+f4 :D | 11:10 |
| debian2 | WaffleGod: lol | 11:10 |
| RobinJ1995 | but why are ppa's worse than normal repo's? | 11:10 |
| theadmin | RobinJ1995: They're not necessarily worse... They're not supported though | 11:11 |
| ikonia | RobinJ1995: becauause they can be maintained by anyone with no confideration for package conflicts and compatability (as you are seeing now) | 11:11 |
| RobinJ1995 | theadmin, ... this is an open source community... how does canonical control what they support? :p | 11:11 |
| RobinJ1995 | ikonia, aha, ok :p | 11:11 |
| ikonia | RobinJ1995: sorry, I'll clarify that for you | 11:11 |

| aspirintoo | I've been trying to compile idevicerestore for three days? i downloaded every thing i need but i cant install git sources, any help? | 11:12 |
| chucknorris | i tried downloading eclipse from the Software Center | 11:12 |
| ikonia | RobinJ1995: this channel is the official ubuntu channel, and the people who manage the channel have decided the policy is not to support 3rd party repos as they can be maintained by "anyone" and trouble shooting them is a mess | 11:12 |
| chucknorris | but i get this error "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tomcat6/libservlet2.5-java_6.0.32-5ubuntu1.1_all.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.166 80]" | 11:12 |
| RobinJ1995 | ikonia, troubleshooting is always a mess :p | 11:12 |
| ikonia | RobinJ1995: no, the repos are massivly tested by a team of people, the PPA's are just put up in what ever state, with whatever testing the PPA owner wants to do | 11:13 |
| RobinJ1995 | chucknorris, apt-get update | 11:13 |
| RobinJ1995 | ikonia, ... everyone can setup a PPA. everyone can setup a debian repo | 11:13 |
| RobinJ1995 | ok so now im stumped... | 11:13 |
| theadmin | RobinJ1995: Unofficiall repos are just as much unsupported as PPAs, they're the same thing | 11:13 |
| chucknorris | apt-get update? | 11:13 |
| RobinJ1995 | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 11:13 |
| RobinJ1995 | gnome-session : Depends: gnome-session-common (= 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1) but 3.2.1-0ubuntu5~ppa1 is to be installed | 11:13 |
| theadmin | RobinJ1995: ikonia is talking about the official Ubuntu repos you see | 11:14 |
| RobinJ1995 | i've just removed every ppa.... :s | 11:14 |
| ikonia | RobinJ1995: not everyone can setup an official ubuntu repo - those are the software products that are supported | 11:14 |
| RobinJ1995 | oh well :p | 11:14 |
| ikonia | RobinJ1995: removing the PPA at this time is probably too late as the conflicting packages will probably already be on your machine | 11:14 |
| aspirintoo | is there #terminal or #command-line or something like that in freenode? | 11:14 |
| LjL | aspirintoo: there is #Bash | 11:15 |
| RobinJ1995 | aspirintoo, #bash? | 11:15 |
| RobinJ1995 | or just ##linux? | 11:15 |
| oCean | Parham: what is your ubuntu version? Also, have you tried asking in #ubuntu-server? (lots of server specific knowledge there) | 11:15 |
| RobinJ1995 | hooray, :D | 11:15 |

| diiiisk | Hello - I am installing 11.10, and I have a laptop with 14gb and 250gb partitions, when I click "install with windows" it'll let me slider only the 14gb, giving me about 4gb to use. When I click "do something else" it won't visually show me the disks - this used to be better in 8.04 I think. I see /dev/sdb, then under that sdb1, 9gb/8gb used, 3.8gb free (this is what it allows me to use) then sdb2 104mb, and then sdb3 240gb, unknown. | 11:17 |
| diiiisk | I want "look at all the free space everywhere and let me use about half of it for ubuntu without screwing it up" option :p | 11:18 |

| Ben64 | Legoleader: you don't | 11:42 |
| Ben64 | Legoleader: use the Hardware Drivers dialog to install drivers, don't use nvidia.com | 11:42 |

| BWorld | could somebody explain that.. ? | 12:08 |
| zzecool | Legoleader: it seems that youa re facing a bug , that i found a workaround | 12:08 |
| Legoleader | please do tell :) | 12:09 |
| zzecool | Legoleader: but i dont think its wise to try it as you look like a novice user | 12:09 |
| escott | BWorld, the setgid bit on a directory means that files inside get created with the same group permissions and ignore umask | 12:10 |
| zzecool | Legoleader: the workaround includes terminal use scripting etc and things can go wrong easy | 12:10 |
| Legoleader | I see | 12:10 |
| zzecool | Legoleader: just keep making updates as usual and hope for a fix | 12:10 |

| Legoleader | kk, thanks :) | 12:10 |
| zzecool | np | 12:10 |

| BWorld | you expect directories created inside inherit the same permissions as the parent directory (rwsr-sr-x) | 12:10 |
| escott | BWorld, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid | 12:11 |
| zzecool | Legoleader: one question are you using dual monitors? | 12:13 |
| BWorld | thanks escott , when I read the section about "setuid and setgid on directories" I cannot find anything about affecting permissions , it doesn't say anywhere that when inheriting group/user from parent directory that it will add write permissions to the created directory... | 12:14 |
| BWorld | wich is the case at the moment | 12:14 |
| === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora | ||
| BWorld | escott, I mean, creating a directory gives the assigns the correct uid and gid but it 'adds' write permissions for the group wich isn't assigned in the parent directory :S | 12:15 |
| BWorld | - gives the | 12:15 |
| Ben64 | but you have it suid | 12:16 |
| BWorld | yes, sticky user and sticky group | 12:16 |
| BWorld | user has rws permissions, group has r-s permissions and other have r-x permissions | 12:16 |
| BWorld | user is me, group is www-data | 12:17 |
| BWorld | www-data should never have write permissions unless explicit set for some subdirectory | 12:17 |
| escott | BWorld, folders created inside a setgid have to also have setgid set otherwise its not recursive and it breaks with the first subdirectory | 12:17 |
| Legoleader | zzecool: no, i'm using a crt 19" monitor | 12:17 |

| BWorld | so I thought I could use sticky bits | 12:18 |
| Ben64 | you should look into ACL | 12:19 |
| BWorld | this way apache allways have read access and in some log folder for example I would give www-data write permissions so it can write to it's log | 12:19 |

| kippi | hey | 13:00 |
| gkasi | Hey kippi | 13:00 |
| escott | gkasi, thats not grub2. thats grub1 | 13:01 |
| gkasi | oh escott. Uumm ok. I remember upgrading to grub2 a while ago though. | 13:01 |
| kippi | I am not sure where the best place to ask this question is... I want to be able to span my toolbar across two screens. Currently I have the same information on both screens as the toolbar is mirrored | 13:02 |
| gkasi | kippi, are you using gnome? | 13:02 |
| kippi | unity | 13:02 |
| gkasi | kippi, sorry man, I've never used unity. Lemme see if I can find the info for you. | 13:03 |
| === mohammad is now known as Guest1820 | ||
| escott | gkasi, the syntax you are using (hd0,1) is grub1 syntax. for grub 2 one generally uses (hd0,msdos1) or (hd0,gpt1) depending upon the partition table. | 13:03 |
| MonkeyDust | kippi "Xubuntu 12.04 is the only ubuntu based distro that handles dual screens well. But you will have to script a little to get it working permanently." | 13:04 |
| kippi | dual screens are working fine, just the tool bar is a pain | 13:05 |
| gkasi | escott, I dont have msdos or windows on the box. It is a pure ubuntu experience. I get the following when I 'ls'. (hd0) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0, msdos2) (hd0, msdos1) | 13:05 |
| escott | gkasi, msdos just means you have an msdos partition table (normal mbr partition table) as opposed to a gpt table | 13:07 |
| escott | gkasi, try set root='(hd0,msdos#)' | 13:08 |
| gkasi | escott, thanks for that. But I m not familiar with gpt table. Because I dont have that, can you advise which of the three msdos1, 2, 3 I need as a combo to boot up? | 13:08 |
| escott | gkasi, i dont know. probably msdos1 | 13:08 |
| gkasi | ok. I'll try and report back. | 13:09 |

| gkasi | kippi, I've tried googling, hoping you might've missed some link, but no luck mate. | 13:16 |
| escott | gkasi, its hard to say what is wrong without knowing what your layout is | 13:17 |
| gkasi | MonkeyDust, old box (2003 model) and bios doesnt boot off USB :( | 13:17 |
| escott | gkasi, but you are assuming you don't have a /boot partition (by your use of /boot/grub) | 13:17 |
| gkasi | escott, I used to have a boot partition till this morning when I decided to restart the box. Since the restart I'm stuck with this error. Whilst I dont know what those commands mean, I m following http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2011/09/09/how-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt-without-live-cd-for-grub2/ | 13:18 |
| tehowe | How stable is a Beta 1 expected to be - are we talking 'non-LTS release stable', or not really usable yet? | 13:19 |
| OerHeks | tehowe, for 12.04 questions & support, ask in #Ubuntu+1 | 13:19 |
| escott | gkasi, there are two main reasons why you would get a sudden boot failure. (a) a corrupted partition in which case you need a livecd to fsck the filesystem (b) a change to your partition tables which would not happen without your knowing about it | 13:20 |
| tehowe | Right | 13:20 |
| gkasi | escott, yeah corrupted partition seems like a candidate. I m downloading the Ubuntu 10.10 iso at the moment. Could you tell me the fsck command to fix the partition? | 13:21 |
| escott | gkasi, sudo fsck /dev/sda# | 13:21 |
| gkasi | copy that. thanks escott . lemme see if i can rescue now | 13:22 |

| sacarlson | Zerpex: I've had php apps that could change chmod settings so I know it can, so it's up to your app | 13:56 |
| escott | apporc, i think so | 13:56 |
| dado_ | ciao | 13:56 |
| apporc | escott: you think kvm can virtualize one CPU with vmx? | 13:57 |
| sacarlson | Zerpex: I assume you want it to have privlige but giving it also provides the opertunity for php to change it | 13:57 |
| Zerpex | sacarlson: I know.. it's pretty easy in php, but shouldn't be needed to create a PHP script that changes the permissions of the folders - there should be a default group-ownershio of the folders to www-data | 13:57 |
| sacarlson | Zerpex: yes anything php creates will be owned by www-data as set by priv in appache | 13:58 |
| escott | apporc, im not sure what you mean by virtualize one cpu. but i believe that recursive kvm does work (although its more of a technology demo than an intended use) | 13:58 |

| Zerpex | sacarlson: not the files php creates.. let's say I log into ftp on the server, and rightclick, and choose 'new file' then the group should by default be set to www-data | 13:59 |
| sacarlson | Zerpex: you have more than apache set to access the same file set? | 13:59 |
| apporc | escott: sorry, not virtualize, should be "virtual out " | 13:59 |
| ankitb | abhijit, /dev/ttyACM0 | 13:59 |
| Guest59167 | sorry | 13:59 |
| Zerpex | sacarlson: nevermind, the commands I was looking for was chgrp -R www-data /var/www and chmod g+s /var/www | 14:00 |
| sacarlson | Zerpex: so you have an ftp server runing on the same directory under a different user? | 14:00 |
| sacarlson | Zerpex: sorry never used chgrp | 14:01 |
| apporc | escott: because kvm need it's host machine has one CPU with virtualization technology, vmx for intel ,e.g. I don't know whether kvm can virtual out one CPU with vitualiation technology | 14:01 |
| Zerpex | sacarlson: I have a ftp access to /var/www indeed | 14:01 |
| |newbie| | help me with sound..i have a sony vaio laptop e vpceb45fg..when i installed ubuntu it didnt have sound i added some lines to the grub and i got it back..but when i inserted headphones it is gone again | 14:01 |
| apporc | escott: if we want to install kvm on one kvm's client host ,this client must have one CPU with virtulization technology. | 14:02 |
| sacarlson | Zerpex: ok see I didn't know that part but I might have just change ftp user to www-data but that's only because I'm ignorant | 14:02 |
| Zerpex | sacarlson: indeed, but we're 10 developers, with different access | 14:03 |

| melvincv | Good day to all. Sound stopped working in Natty all of a sudden. | 15:17 |

| eKKo | Hey folks.. anyone able to help me with: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1928544 ? | 15:19 |
| chachin | but ActionParsnip if i do those commands.. will it delete my files/folders and make it a new os? | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | chachin: it upgrades the binarys that make up the OS, no data is deleted. | 15:19 |
| melvincv | Isn't it "sudo killall pulseaudio" | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: no, or I would have said | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: pulseaudio is ran as user, so your user can kill its own process | 15:20 |
| melvincv | ok, I did it without sudo, no go | 15:20 |
| ayaka | zykotick9: can i reinstall itself in break system？ | 15:20 |
| zykotick9 | ayaka: sorry, i can't help you. good luck. | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: both commands need running on the same line so the file and folder get removed while pulse is stopped | 15:20 |
| ayaka | zykotick9 thank you | 15:21 |
| ayaka | ActionParsnip: thank you | 15:21 |

| MacroMan | Hi everyone | 15:27 |
| bc81 | heyas, Macro | 15:27 |
| MacroMan | I'm attempting to configure a third monitor running from a USB2VGA adapter | 15:27 |
| MacroMan | It appears that the 2 monitors I've got were auto configured | 15:27 |
| MacroMan | So I'm trying to mannually configure them in Xorg.conf | 15:28 |
| VEndix | is there any way to play muonline on ubuntu? | 15:28 |
| sskasirajan | how can i view the source code of apps in ubuntu!! | 15:28 |
| LjL | sskasirajan: apt-get source <packagename> | 15:28 |
| MacroMan | However, my current monitors aren't in there. I tried 'Xorg -configure' but it gives me an error sayong that x server is already running | 15:28 |
| MacroMan | How can I generate a config file based on my current setup? | 15:29 |
| zykotick9 | MacroMan: stop Xorg then run the command (but I though it was "X --configure" but you are probably right) | 15:29 |
| melvincv | ActionParsnip, yes, alsamixer seems ok. But I have 3 sound cards listed. 0 - Realtek 1 - Creative SB 5.1 VX 2 - AMD HDMI | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: so its an xbox360 pad.. is it wireless? | 15:30 |
| MacroMan | OK, let me try | 15:30 |
| MacroMan | Thanks | 15:30 |
| bc81 | VEndix: you can tried installing it in PlayOnLinux | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: oh those creative things can be a pain, I avoid them like the plague | 15:30 |
| melvincv | ActionParsnip, I've connected my speakers to Creative | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: have you tried disabling the onboard sound in BIOS? | 15:30 |
| Lint | sskasirajan, on launchpad.net, select a package, a branch and click 'view the code' | 15:31 |
| MacroMan | Hmm, how odd. When I run Xorg -configure with x server stopped I get an error telling me that the configured devices doesn't match the actual number of devices. I haven't plugged the new monitor in yet | 15:31 |
| dlentz | melvincv, when you do speaker-test, are you specifying the Creative card (with -d)? | 15:31 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: No, wired... I'm on ubuntu forums right now, it says it *should* work out of box, but I'm in the procecess of updating drivers noow | 15:31 |
| zykotick9 | MacroMan: your "Xorg -configure" might not be correct | 15:31 |
| melvincv | ActionParsnip, ok, next time I restart I'll try, but, uh, I need both cards as the Creative one does not have front panel audio | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: what is the line that identifies it in the output of: lsusb | 15:32 |
| MacroMan | OK, I'll try your 'X --configure' | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: make sure the creative card is set as the outputdevice | 15:32 |
| melvincv | I see my speaker icon in the indicator applet is disabled | 15:32 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: All of my lines are showing root hub except for "Bus 005 Device 002: ID 1bad:f016 Harmonix Music | 15:32 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: so I'm assuming that's it | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: logical :) | 15:33 |
| b0ot | I have a slip connection via serial on a cisco router... does anyone know how I could set that same connection up with ubuntu? | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 15:33 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: I try :) | 15:33 |
| melvincv | ActionParsnip, yes, it is (in the Output tab of Sound Preferences?) | 15:33 |
| Zerpex | hmm, I used passwd user1, updated the password, but when I try log in with that user, it says password is wrong | 15:34 |

| mohan_ | i tried from Ubuntu Software center and terminal | 15:34 |
| mohan_ | not working | 15:34 |
| mohan_ | need help guys | 15:34 |
| zykotick9 | Zerpex: are you user1? if so the command should have been "passwd", to set another user's password it would need "sudo passwd user1" to work. | 15:35 |
| === DumbOne is now known as Jasonn | ||
| Zerpex | zykotick9: no I'm user 2, and I used the sudo command | 15:35 |
| bazhang | mohan_, did you add a ppa? | 15:35 |
| mohan_ | ohh | 15:35 |
| mohan_ | hmm | 15:35 |
| bazhang | !info vlc | 15:35 |

| Zerpex | so I did sudo passwd user1 | 15:35 |
| sacarlson | mohan_: for vlc 2.0 I assume you must have used ppa | 15:35 |
| mohan_ | no | 15:35 |
| mohan_ | let me do it | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grumbel/ppa ; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xboxdrv | 15:35 |
| melvincv | ActionParsnip, which are the best brands in sound card technology now? I thought the best is Creative. Realtek is more useless! :-\ | 15:35 |
| bazhang | mohan_, the regular usc does not have it | 15:35 |
| mohan_ | ok | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: no, they are far from best | 15:36 |
| MacroMan | 'X --configure' wasn't quite what I was looking for | 15:36 |
| b0ot | sacarlson, how would you use telnet | 15:36 |
| zykotick9 | MacroMan: did you see where it put the generated xorg.conf file? copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 15:36 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: man telnet | 15:37 |
| MacroMan | 'Xorg -configure' is supposed to automatically create a config file. 'X --configure' seems to be to create one with options | 15:37 |
| MacroMan | X --configure didn't create a config file | 15:37 |
| b0ot | sacarlson, man telnet | grep slip = nothing | 15:37 |
| MacroMan | just gave me lots of options. I didn't really want to touch it because I've broken ym display before by doing tnaty | 15:37 |

| Bubo | Hello, can anyone help me install mysql so i can use it with python? | 15:44 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: I also found this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/sl.4.html | 15:44 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: I assumed with serial you just needed a dumb terminal into a cisco box to see status | 15:45 |
| _Marcus | How do I change what shell a user logs into? Right now when he logs in it goes strait to sh, but I want it to go to bash. | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: try one of these: http://www.dv247.com/computer-hardware/echo-layla-3g-24-bit-audio-interface-with-pci-card--23617 | 15:46 |
| b0ot | sacarlson, nah... that's trivial with putty | 15:46 |
| chachin | http://i.imgur.com/BDzkt.png <<< why does it say that? | 15:46 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: can't cisco do everything over ethernet also? | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | _Marcus: it's in /etc/passwd | 15:46 |
| zykotick9 | _Marcus: "chsh" as the user is another method | 15:46 |
| b0ot | I need an ip address on serial port that is encapsulated with the slip protocol | 15:46 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: if putty then what you want is ssh | 15:46 |
| b0ot | I didn't say I needed to configure a cisco route | 15:46 |
| b0ot | configuring a cisco router via serial = trivial | 15:47 |
| b0ot | what I said is that I was able to configure within a cisco router a serial connection on the router with the slip protocol | 15:47 |
| b0ot | where the serial port is an actual interface on the router | 15:47 |
| b0ot | not used for configuration | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | melvincv: there is obviously everything in between, in the great scheme of things, creative is quite budget | 15:48 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: xboxdrv did not solve problem, should I reboot before trying someting else? | 15:48 |
| mneptok | Bubo: if you're an Ubuntu users, i would carefully consider using MariaDB instead of MySQL | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: did you load the driver module in? | 15:48 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: like this The sl interface allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the slip protocol. The sl interface can use Van Jacobson TCP header compression and ICMP filtering. This is arranged by using the various link-level flags to the ifconfig(8) command: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/picocom.8.html | 15:49 |
| Bubo | mneptok why? is it easier? i want to use it with python | 15:49 |
| mneptok | Bubo: there is discussion of replacing MySQL with MariaDB in the next release of Ubuntu. | 15:49 |
| Computer-01 | Computers in my network cannot ping/connect to my ubuntu 10.04 server, and I can see and connect to them, what could the problem be? | 15:49 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/850109/ | 15:49 |
| mneptok | Bubo: MariaDB is neither easier nor more difficult, as it is a drop-in replacement for MySQL. | 15:50 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: sorry wrong paist page http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/sl.4.html | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: does it give an xboxdrv kernel module? | 15:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Computer-01 how can you see them, then? | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: you may need to run the command with sudo too | 15:50 |
| mneptok | Computer-01: "connect" how? FTP? HTTP? SFTP? what? | 15:51 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: working on a couple of the suggestions, uno momento :) | 15:51 |
| Computer-01 | MonkeyDust, Lies I cannot ping them, but I can connect to their Mysql server, but they cannot connecto mine. | 15:52 |
| Computer-01 | mneptok, using mysql-admin. | 15:52 |
| _Marcus | How do I make it so that a user cannot leave it's home directory(anything above /home/user)? | 15:52 |
| mneptok | Computer-01: are inbund ports open on those machines? have you told the admin tool to accept connections other than from localhost? | 15:52 |
| Zerpex | when using "mkdir -p /var/www/somefolder" what exactly does the -p do then? | 15:53 |
| oCean | Zerpex: create parent dirs, if necessary | 15:53 |
| Zerpex | ahh nice! | 15:53 |
| Computer-01 | mneptok, I believe not... let me check this. | 15:53 |

| danileigh79 | zykotick9:yes and no, It was doing it even though I wasn't touching the gamepad | 15:55 |
| zykotick9 | danileigh79: ok, then that wasn't working at that point then (it should be still, unless you press stuff) | 15:56 |
| ZeusCool | Hi, I got this error and php is not working, I've been tring to solve and google it for two days but no luck:--> mod_fcgid: process cgi_wrapper exit (communication error), terminated by calling exit(), return code: 114 | 15:56 |
| Computer-01 | mneptok, how can I do that, since inside Mysql admin in networking the option to disable TCP/IP connections is not activated, and the ufw firewall is disabled | 15:57 |
| BlouBlou | guys, do you know any online-chess for ubuntu? something like the one which came in older versions of ubuntu | 15:57 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: finally got something going here.... | 15:57 |
| mneptok | Computer-01: telnet to the port that the admin tools uses. see if you get a response. | 15:57 |
| MonkeyDust | ZeusCool try ##php (that's double #) | 15:57 |
| Computer-01 | mneptok, But one thing is that I cannot connect to my Server using the IP address only using localhost. | 15:57 |
| vivekimsit | how can I see the list of commands that I used on a particular day? | 15:58 |
| mneptok | Computer-01: DB server or ... ? | 15:58 |
| bazhang | vivekimsit, in bash? or on irc? | 15:58 |
| vivekimsit | in bash | 15:58 |
| ZeusCool | I can't MonkeyDust | 15:58 |
| mneptok | Computer-01: you need to be MUCH more explicit. "connect to my server" whith what? SSH? a web browser? a database? what? | 15:59 |
| Computer-01 | mneptok, in the stored connection using mysql-admin | 15:59 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: ok, so now sudo xbobxdrv works, showing my the controls in a separate term window (using terminator) but when nI go into the emulator/game, it still doesn't do anything when I'm trying to map the gamepad in vba | 15:59 |
| mneptok | Computer-01: is mysqld running with access to the external port? or is it relegated to localhost? | 15:59 |
| Computer-01 | mneptok, I am afraid I don't have the knowledge to answer that. | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: yes but did you get the module loaded using the instructions you pasted earlier??? | 16:00 |
| danileigh79 | zykotick9: looks ilke catting js0 WAS soing something... the analog on this gamepad must be wacky as xboxdrv is showing the y and x axis constantly moving... | 16:00 |
| sacarlson | mneptok mysqld defaults to localhost only but can be setup to allow other ip access control | 16:01 |
| Computer-01 | mneptok, this is inside of the conf. : bind-address= 127.0.0.1 | 16:01 |
| mneptok | sacarlson: i know, that's why i asked. | 16:01 |
| mneptok | Computer-01: if you want access to mysqld from somehting other than localhost, you'll have to bind to an external interface | 16:02 |
| _Marcus | How do I chroot jail a user? | 16:03 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: how? I used sudo rmmod xbox, then sudo xboxdrv, then sudo modprobe xpad again, and still not working | 16:03 |
| Computer-01 | mneptok, what do you mean?, how can I do that? | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: run 'rmmod xpad' and then xboxdrv again or start xboxdrv with the option --detach-kernel-driver | 16:03 |
| mneptok | Computer-01: edit your MySQL confogs so that it binds to eth0 (or whatever) instead of the loopback interface | 16:04 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: maybe the command has to be running for the device to work..... | 16:04 |
| Computer-01 | mneptok, eth0 IP address right? | 16:05 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: "unrecognized option '--detach-kernal-driver'" I did this with sudo | 16:05 |
| mneptok | Computer-01: use the interface name, not IP. | 16:05 |
| mneptok | bbiab | 16:05 |
| MonkeyDust | danileigh79 kernel, not kernal | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: try: sudo modprobe xbox --detach-kernel-driver | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: if you type invalid things, it won't work | 16:06 |

| _Marcus | Does anyone know how to set up a chroot jail? | 16:09 |
| lewiseason | Have you tried Google or the ubuntu forum, Marcus? | 16:11 |
| ikonia | _Marcus: it depends what you want to jail | 16:11 |
| MonkeyDust | lewiseason don't say to 'google it' please | 16:11 |
| MonkeyDust | _Marcus http://www.brudvik.org/2011/02/chrootjail-sftpscpssh-on-ubuntu/ | 16:11 |
| _Marcus | ikonia: I want a user to not be able to even see anything outside it's home directory. | 16:11 |
| sacarlson | _Marcus: chroot jail? only time you change root is if you more a whole system to a new root | 16:12 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: nope, there are many reasons | 16:12 |
| urfr332gO | _Marcus, here is a ubuntu man on jail http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man8/makejail.8.html | 16:12 |
| ikonia | _Marcus: ok, well, you have a few options, you can try to lock the level above the home directory with permissions, this will stop the user moving out of it, but it's not a chroot lock, you could also look at a chroot shell, there is also an option with sshd to chroot jail the user | 16:13 |
| overclucker | When I use my bluetooth headset in duplex mode I can record audio, but I cant hear playback. Is there a fix for this? | 16:13 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: I don't see any user options in chroot | 16:13 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: that's fine, if you don't know any, I'm just informing you there are many reasons to chroot, beyond moving a root location | 16:13 |
| sacarlson | _Marcus: but you could just change all other file priv to not let your user see any other files but his home dir | 16:14 |
| magma | ubuntu server shows wich users are using the machine and mem usage when you logon though ssh. Is it possible to do the same thing with the normal ubuntu? | 16:14 |
| vivekimsit | How can I know that which command I ran on a particular day in my bash shell? | 16:14 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: a user can still "cd /" | 16:14 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: changing the permissions won't a lock a user into their home directory | 16:15 |
| oCean | vivekimsit: by default there is no timestamp in bash history file | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: it could if you make the folder not executable.. | 16:15 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: yes he could cd but see nothing if the priv of all were like chmod 770 or at least other users couldn't see | 16:15 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: no, you can still / | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: damn | 16:15 |
| vivekimsit | oCean: So, is there not any solution | 16:16 |
| oCean | vivekimsit: when you type the history command in shell, you will see your recent commands, by default last 1000 I think. | 16:16 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: you to lock a user into their home direcotry, you're suggesting changing every single file on the systme outside his home directory to remove world permissions / | 16:16 |
| overclucker | I was actually hoping to be able to do my teleconference from ubuntu, instead of rebooting into windows | 16:17 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: yes I guess so | 16:17 |
| danileigh79_2 | ActionParsnip, sorry, I had to take a break, I'm outside on my phone... This xbox controller is pissing me off more than having pms... *headdesk* | 16:17 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: may want to think that through a little more as a lot of things expect read access to certain directories | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79_2: if you type: modprobe xbox then hit tab, does it autcomplete? | 16:18 |
| vivekimsit | oCean: Ya! but the list is normally very large so, I was thinking that if there is any command to see the commands of a particular day | 16:18 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: that's the method I use at least on my own home dir so no one but me can see it | 16:18 |
| magma | ubuntu server shows wich users are using the machine and mem usage when you logon though ssh. Is it possible to do the same thing with the normal ubuntu? | 16:18 |
| danileigh79_2 | ActionParsnip, I'll try when I go back inside, lemme finish my cigarette | 16:18 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: stopping someone from seeing into your home dir, as to stopping someone from moving anywhere outside their home dir is a totally different concept | 16:18 |
| oCean | vivekimsit: there is. Add this line export HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %T ' to your ~/.bashrc, then source the bashrc again | 16:18 |
| Mike9863 | After I login my touchpad discontinues working and I'm forced to enter the command 'xinput set-int-prop 13 "Synaptics Off" 8 0' Why is this, and is there any way I can fix it? | 16:18 |
| vivekimsit | ok | 16:19 |
| lewiseason | magma: try "who" | 16:19 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: true but that's the only solution that's close I can come up with for _Marcus | 16:19 |
| xubuntu5 | just write a script that runs that automatically after login? | 16:19 |

| urfr332gO | Travis-42, it is on the web. | 16:30 |
| zykotick9 | magma: you can't skip releases, so you'd need to upgrade 9.10->10.04->10.10->11.04->11.10. Fresh install might be easier. | 16:30 |
| magma | that does not show command line | 16:30 |

| magma | zykotick9: what's the command line to upgrade? | 16:31 |

| ikonia | magma: it's listed in those links | 16:31 |
| zykotick9 | mrdeb: nope | 16:31 |

| BlouBlou | a long time, and... a lot of apps may fail | 16:32 |
| zykotick9 | magma: only if /home is on a separate partition | 16:32 |
| BlouBlou | I wouldn't do it, fresh install is better | 16:32 |

| TheSimkin | i use windows in a virtual machine only. | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | TheSimkin: me neither, I just know how to find guides | 17:05 |
| compdoc | then use samba | 17:05 |
| TheSimkin | i guess i need to check out wubi | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | TheSimkin: the vast maority of the stuff I helpusers with, I don't even use myself | 17:05 |
| TheSimkin | later... | 17:05 |
| Computer-01 | sacarlson, uhmm I tried restarting it.... but it says the same.... and the command that oCean wrote it replies nothing | 17:05 |
| oCean | Computer-01: in that case, if nothing returns, it is not running | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | TheSimkin: like the guy with the xbox controller. I don't even play games or own an xbox but I gave some good pointers and found some guides | 17:05 |
| sacarlson | compdoc: it's not default to have windows mount ext4 but you can download some software that has worked in the past | 17:05 |
| k013 | ok - see theoretically i download iso image then load to deamon tools the wubi manager asks me for install details - the question is at this moment can i say upgrade instead of install - so i'm guessin this one is for actionparsnip and lint | 17:05 |
| Computer-01 | oCean But I run the command to make it | 17:06 |
| ActionParsnip | k013: i'd reinstall if you used wubi, I've heard bad results from upgrades | 17:06 |
| k013 | cool - as long it works | 17:06 |
| sacarlson | Computer-01: so it's not listening then or at least not on that port | 17:06 |
| k013 | will the reinstall delete all data | 17:06 |
| oCean | Computer-01: is there a file called /var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock? | 17:07 |
| sacarlson | Computer-01: what command did you use to restart mysql? | 17:07 |
| ActionParsnip | k013: i'd remove what you have presently, you can reinstate files and such from backup | 17:07 |
| Computer-01 | sacarlson, sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start | 17:07 |
| Computer-01 | oCean, let me checl | 17:07 |
| sacarlson | Computer-01: that sounds good | 17:08 |
| TheSimkin | k013: curious.. why don't you just boot ubuntu and upgrade it? | 17:08 |
| Computer-01 | oCean, no there isnt.... | 17:08 |
| TheSimkin | k013: although.. dual booting is a real pain... even better, why not use virtual machines? | 17:08 |
| === soma_ is now known as Guest995 | ||
| k013 | @actionparsnip - ok then why are some people so afraid to upgrade directly - they say iso reinstalls are better! | 17:09 |
| sacarlson | oCean: Computer-01: you did use a standard ubuntu package to install mysql right? | 17:09 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: just start mysql "correctly" this time | 17:09 |
| TheSimkin | k013: better how? | 17:09 |
| Computer-01 | sacarlson, oCean yes | 17:09 |
| ActionParsnip | k013: its a cleaner OS with none of the old configs could be the cause. I always clean install. Fewer issues imho | 17:09 |
| k013 | @thesimkin - check that answer! | 17:10 |
| TheSimkin | ActionParsnip & k013, that's silly imho. apt-get dist-upgrade is just fine! | 17:10 |
| sacarlson | Computer-01: ikonia: correctly? oh maybe restart instead of start? | 17:10 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: no | 17:10 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: if you don't know how to do something - don't offer advice | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | TheSimkin: that won't get you to the next release | 17:10 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: ok - lets fix this, are you ready ? | 17:10 |
| loganrun | why did ubuntu ditch gnome | 17:11 |
| TheSimkin | ActionParsnip: update-manager fixes that. | 17:11 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: that's the method I've been using maybe not upstart but it works | 17:11 |
| ikonia | loganrun: they are running gnome still, just using their own shell (unity) instead of gnome-shell | 17:11 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, please | 17:11 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: correct, it won't work with upstart, it won't work | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | TheSimkin: sure, but the user wants the next release. so sudo apt-get dist-upgrade won't do it | 17:11 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: ok, "sudo service mysql start" | 17:11 |

| shammancer | Hello all. I have a file bar over my desktop. Is there a way to remove it. This is using cinnamon | 17:22 |
| antnya | Just confused about installing Ubuntu 11.10 alongside W7/64.... had trouble twice with GRUB crashing my W7 boot. | 17:23 |
| sln45 | Do any of y'all know the name of the cursor process? It's stuck on loading mode and it's very irritating. | 17:23 |
| christinepea777 | hrm | 17:23 |
| Roasted_ | hello! I'm curious if somebody can help me with ssh authentication between two ubuntu systems. I'm not that familiar with public/private keys other than the real basics. I know I have to do ssh-keygen to create the keys, but then what? I'm trying to create a secure connection from an Ubuntu system outside of my LAN to my file server within my LAN. | 17:23 |
| sln45 | Or can I reload the unity session to reset my cursor? | 17:23 |
| jadoe | is there an up to date guide for getting the ps3 bluetooth remote to work? the instructions i found so far (e.g. in the mythtv wiki) don't work anymore. | 17:23 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: what's up ? | 17:23 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/NQJkaztB | 17:23 |
| nbrowning | hi there trying to do a hardy to lucid upgrade and am having some problems install package upgrades before i begin | 17:23 |
| k013 | @actionparsnip - any movement in the temperature control side for 12.04 - 11.10 is really bad for laptop temperature | 17:23 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: socket file is there - GREAT | 17:23 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: try to access it | 17:23 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, well, really just the basics of the entire method behind this. Like if I run ssh-keygen, am I doing this on my file server, or the client system outside of the LAN? | 17:23 |
| tumppu | antnya alt+f2 and then "pkill unity" | 17:24 |
| rattatoue | antnya, Ive always done it this way of just splitting two partitions. One W7 then make sure theres unallocated space for your ubuntu. Launch the installer go through the normal when it ask you to do the partition. Click Ubuntu Alongside Windows and it will install into that unallocated space and use that for the ubuntu. And then reboot and it should have no problem starting the W7 or Ubuntu | 17:24 |
| trism | shammancer: I believe that is caused by appmenu, you can probably safely remove indicator-appmenu and appmenu-gtk since cinnamon won't use it anyway (I believe they recently reverted the patch that worked around it in nautilus) | 17:24 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, Yes! I cannot connect using mysql-admin | 17:24 |
| Computer-01 | can* | 17:24 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, , Can connect* | 17:24 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: really simple, ssh-keygen (man it - and chose your options) public key put in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server - private key, keep on your local machine, ssh $user@$server, enter private key password, you are done | 17:24 |
| sacarlson | Computer-01: cool just a reboot | 17:24 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: make sure the ~/.ssh/authorized_key file on the server has 600 permissions | 17:25 |
| naija | #exit | 17:25 |
| Computer-01 | sacarlson, indeed.... :D | 17:25 |
| antnya | Okay, that seems good to me rattatoue. Just use Windows partition manager? | 17:25 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: what is the command you are using exactly | 17:25 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I was under the impression I was to copy the public key physically off of that system and onto the client system outside of the LAN. | 17:25 |
| DeltaSaucer | Do Arch Linux and Ubuntu Linux boot up with an IRC client that connects to their freenode channels or something? So many damn users... | 17:25 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, administrator@administrator-desktop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart | 17:25 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: correct, public key onto the destination server, in the .ssh directory in their home file, and put the contents into a file called "authorized keys" | 17:25 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: no, to connect | 17:25 |
| FrancoOFranco | irc:///music | 17:25 |
| rattatoue | antnya, yeah you can just use that and use the resize option. The new partition it makes dont format or anything, just leave it alone and then do the thing in Ubuntu and it will use that partition. | 17:25 |
| rattatoue | antnya, I did that exact thing last night the way I told you, only using the Windows Resize and here I am :) both working just fine. | 17:26 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: authorized_keys sorry, hit spoace by accident | 17:26 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, I am using Mysql-Admin: It is an User Interface... | 17:26 |
| antnya | Interesting. That is what I did in the past and had little luck. It still wrecked my bootloader. | 17:26 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: ok - forget that for the moment | 17:26 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: open a terminal, can you do that ? | 17:26 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, just to recap... ssh-keygen on server, find the public key, copy it to the client. Then the client should be able to SSH in without asking for a pw. correct? | 17:26 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, sure. | 17:26 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: ssh keygen on client, | 17:26 |
| Roasted_ | oh.. | 17:26 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: that creates public and private keys | 17:26 |
| nbrowning | hi there | 17:26 |
| nbrowning | any help with the following problem http://pastebin.com/A6wGaKDY | 17:27 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, see, I did that, and Ithought I did it wrong. I found it so backwards to do it from the client and successfully SSH into it with ZERO server input. It confused me.... | 17:27 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: private key in your .ssh directory (call the file id_dsa or or_rsa depending on encyrption) | 17:27 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: put the contents (not the file - the contents) into a file called "authorized_keys" on the server, in the users home directory/.ssh | 17:27 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: change the permissions of the authorized_key file to 600 on the server, bang you are done | 17:27 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: on the command line type this | 17:27 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: "mysql -u root -p" | 17:27 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: it will prompt you for the MYSQL root user (not system root user) password | 17:28 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, so in essence I was looking at it 100% backwards. I generate the keys on client, and move the private key contents to server.... whereas I thought I would keygen on server, and move public to client.... | 17:28 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, yes I logged in. | 17:28 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: enter the root password | 17:28 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: public key contents tot he server | 17:28 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: private key stays safe on the client | 17:28 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: ok - then the problem is nothing to do with mysql | 17:28 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, Yes I did. | 17:28 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: the problem is your mysql-admin tools it not setup correctly | 17:28 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, >_< | 17:28 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, I can log in with mysql-admin | 17:28 |

| Computer-01 | ikonia, that problem just came by but it was not my real problem | 17:29 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: the reason that is not working is the connection permissions are "root @ localhost" | 17:29 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, youtube videos weren't as explicit as I had hoped :( | 17:29 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: want to walk through this - it will take 5 minutes max, it's really easy | 17:30 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, How can I fix this? | 17:30 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, if you wouldn't mind... | 17:30 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: you need to create a new user, or grant permissions to root@your-remote-host-name-or-ip | 17:30 |
| nbrowning | ActionParsnip, output here or pastbin? | 17:30 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: lets do the client first, got a terminal open ? | 17:30 |

| shammancer | Maybe | 17:33 |

| HoNgOuRu | ikonia, is that command similar to aptitude search ? | 17:37 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | wow I know the shell of the desktop am I saying that right or am I saying something different sorry ActionParsnip Am new to ubuntu | 17:37 |
| ikonia | HoNgOuRu: yes | 17:37 |
| zykotick9 | HoNgOuRu: "apt-cache search ^subversion" perhaps | 17:37 |

| rattatoue | craigbass1976, try whereis firefox or whereis mozilla-firefox | 17:39 |
| craigbass1976 | xLexi, I thought /usr/bin was just binary files? | 17:39 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | Yes I know I like Xfce it a good plateform of desktop encirement I just got done download ubuntu 10.04 can I run xfce on that if I type in sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 17:39 |

| sacarlson | Computer-01: as seen in this post http://blog.vinhkhoa.com/article/Set-up-a-Railo-Apache-MySQL-host-on-Ubuntu-Part-2-install-MySQL-and-enable-remote-access | 17:40 |
| bc81 | AdminPC-TB2012: i think so, yea..then when you log in i'm pretty sure you can choose the xfce session | 17:40 |
| paraprpar | Installing 11.10, the only partition with a lot of space is 237gb with 200gb free, yet in the install page where I choose "something different" it is also the only partition it won't let me resize, it says "unknown", why is this? | 17:41 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I'm not seeing anything besides typical home dir folders. | 17:41 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: did it ask you for output file names ? | 17:41 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | Okay so I can pick the opion for xfce on the login screen | 17:41 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, besides pw, I just enter'd everything else | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | nbrowning: your paste link is bad dude | 17:41 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: look in .ssh | 17:42 |
| Zerpex | Hi guys, atm I'm getting: Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server." - does anybody know what that can be? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: ~/.ssh | 17:42 |
| paraprpar | Is this something microsoft have deliberately asked oems to do - so that the most space looks unusable to linux? | 17:42 |
| Roasted_ | id_rsa, id_rsa.pub, yeah ikonia | 17:42 |
| bc81 | paraprpar: what is the partition's filesystem? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you sould have id_rsa and id_rsa.pub | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: great, your id_rsa is your private key, guard it with your life | 17:42 |
| nbrowning | ActionParsnip: try this one http://pastebin.com/icLprJja | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: your .public key, copy that onto your remote server, to the ~/.ssh directory | 17:42 |
| paraprpar | bc81: /dev/sda3, type:blank, mountpoint: blank, size:237gb, used, unknown | 17:42 |
| paraprpar | sda1 and sda2 have ntfs they say | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | nbrowning: are you using server (no desktop UI)? | 17:43 |
| paraprpar | my guess Microsoft have deliberately done something non-standard to break things | 17:43 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, that's where I copy the contents, but not the entire .pub itself, right? | 17:43 |
| nbrowning | no UI yes | 17:43 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: as this is the first key, we'll copy the whole file (you'll see why, it will make sense in a moment) | 17:43 |
| bc81 | paraprpar: i'm thinking that it might need to be formatted first (i recommend the ext4 filesystem) | 17:43 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: copy the physical file (.pub) to ~/.ssh on the remote server | 17:43 |
| paraprpar | bc81: aaah. wait. it is a truecrypt drive - maybe that is it | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | nbrowning: are there any bugs reported? | 17:44 |
| bc81 | paraprpar: hmm..that might be why yea heh | 17:44 |
| nbrowning | ActionParsnip: not that i know of | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | nbrowning: i'd check, may be a known issue | 17:44 |
| nbrowning | ActionParsnip: it worked on another machine fine | 17:44 |
| paraprpar | I wanted to keep windows. not that I use it, that's why I am such a noob now, I have literally not touched a windows machine for years, and now I have this windows 7 thing on this laptop, and I just need to install 1 linux lib and 1 windows lib that I can test an app from my dev machine (osx) | 17:44 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | 4 min until the update is finish is there an opion for me if I type sudo apt-get install div upgrade will the make it to ubuntu 11.10 or which one is the current one lol:) | 17:45 |
| nbrowning | ActionParsnip: I'm tempted to uninstall and reinstall | 17:45 |
| paraprpar | fusk it, I will blow windows out, and use another winblows machine when I might need to test the lib. | 17:45 |
| bc81 | paraprpar: have you considered using virtualbox for testing? | 17:45 |
| Lint | !mature | 17:45 |
| rattatoue | bc81, I was just about to suggest that | 17:45 |
| rattatoue | Windows in Virtualbox works good. | 17:45 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you following ok ? | 17:45 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, yeah, just trying to push the pub over to server. | 17:46 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | am running vmware player for testing and it work grate I work with virtual box and it just laggey | 17:46 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, the hdd I have shared on my router is being a brat. | 17:46 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: that's fine, just checking your ok | 17:46 |
| bc81 | rattatoue: he left right before i said that :) *sigh | 17:47 |
| churchill | hi. Is there a way to install Ubuntu to a partition without rebooting ? | 17:47 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, maybe it was nautilus. gnome 3 just crashed and reset on my laptop. haaa?? | 17:47 |
| ikonia | churchill: no, you will need to reboot | 17:47 |
| uni4dfx | Where can I ask for more information regarding ApplicationIndicators ? | 17:47 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | if I type sudo apt-get install dev upgrade will that go to ubuntu 11.10 | 17:47 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, copied over. are we done?? | 17:47 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: very close | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc | 17:48 |
| * uKi` downloading ubuntu 64 bit :D | 17:48 | |
| ikonia | Roasted_: now, change the file name on the remote server from "id_rsa.pub" to "authorized_keys" | 17:48 |
| bc81 | !ask | uni4dfx | 17:48 |
| ubottu | uni4dfx: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 17:48 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, done | 17:48 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: normally the plan is to copy the contents of id_rsa.pub to the file authorized_keys, but as this is your only / first key, it's easier to just rename it | 17:48 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: change the permissions on it to 600 | 17:48 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: change permissions on authorized_keys to 600 | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, can I throw out a curve ball first? | 17:49 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: please | 17:49 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | ActionParsnip: sorry can't help there new in ubuntu just wondering how to upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 | 17:49 |
| uni4dfx | alright bc81: Where can I find the source code of ApplicationIndicators included in Ubuntu? | 17:49 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, there will be a total of 4 systems connecting to this server via ssh. Each user will be backing their files up to it with an automated program, etiher syncback or deja dup depending on windows or ubuntu. Now, I see the ssh key is kept in ~/.ssh... how would this effect other users? | 17:50 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: are all the users using the same username ? | 17:50 |
| ihashacks | Much easier to copy keys using ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub someserver | 17:50 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, no. | 17:50 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: then no, | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: well you can only upgrade to the next release, or lTS to LTS (lucid to Precise), so what release are you currently on | 17:50 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: that will cause no added complication | 17:50 |
| ihashacks | isn't it? | 17:50 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: either way, you're done, just ssh in now from the client | 17:51 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, what about the fact that the ssh keys are stored in the users home directory? | 17:51 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: why is it bad that the keys are stored in the users home directory | 17:51 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: should ask you for your key password | 17:51 |
| uni4dfx | bc81 Is it possible to position ApplicationIndicators anywhere on the panel? If so, how? Also, how do I remove/disable existing ApplicationIndicators? | 17:51 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | Ubuntu 10.04 But I dont know if I should upgrade beacuse I have 512 RAM in my VM But I can turn the specks up on it | 17:51 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I don't consider it bad. I just want to make sure it'll work. Like, I now have a file on the admin account of my file server called authorized_keys. that's just 1 key. What about when I add 3 more? do I just add them in the same file? | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: the specs are largely the same, later versions don't need more grunt.This isn't windows | 17:52 |
| bc81 | uni4dfx: i don't know, but hopefully someone who does will see your question | 17:52 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no, each user has their own authorized_keys file in their home directory | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: if you can hang until April you can jump straight to Precise (LTS to LTS upgrades are very supported) and save the time and hassle of going to each release inbetween | 17:53 |
| === iqpi|off is now known as iqpi|on | ||
| ihashacks | Roasted: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub someserver | 17:53 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: if you want others to share the same username, but with different keys, then you just add more public keys to the single authorized_keys file | 17:53 |
| ihashacks | !ssh-copy-id | Roasted_ | 17:53 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | ActionParsnip: Thank God Right. Is that the new one coming out. | 17:53 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, separated by anything in aprticular? | 17:53 |
| uni4dfx | bc81 No they won't because these questions are very specific. That is why I want to find a place to ask them. At which point you thought I should "just ask" here. | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: in april | 17:53 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: nope, no spaces, end of line, start a new line | 17:53 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, good deal | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: supported 5 years on desktop | 17:54 |
| bc81 | uni4dfx: no need to single me out, i already told you i can't help. there are over 1500 people here, you might want to be more patient | 17:54 |
| bc81 | !patience | 17:54 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 17:54 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, so I don't assign these keys as per user individually. I could just generate 4 keys and just make sure I drop 1 private key per user and they'll be associated accordingly,r ight? I mean there's no marriage between sshkey1 and Frank, or sshkey2 and Bob, it's just sshkey1pub - sshkey1priv, right? | 17:55 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | ActionParsnip: I was wondering why cant I install ubuntu on my new laptop I have an AMD PRocessor but it is so laggy do you think they will fix it in AMD or something:( | 17:55 |
| uni4dfx | bc81 Please do not tell me what to do. I have already asked my question and do not require your guidelines. | 17:55 |
| chris_ | does anybody know any good cli flashcard programs? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: yup, look at the ssh keygen options, eg: -c (comment) is useful to show users keys eg: -c "Roasteds key" - helps in a file with multiple keys | 17:55 |
| bc81 | uni4dfx: at no point did i tell you what to do. good luck, i hope you find the answers that you seek | 17:56 |
| animus-1 | Hello everyone :) | 17:56 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I see. so I could just barf out 4 keys, stack them in authorized keys, and freely distribute the private keys to each user and bam - good togo. eh? | 17:56 |
| uni4dfx | bc81 Good, so please stop spamming. | 17:56 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: for example here is my key | 17:56 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/850269/ | 17:56 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | animus-1: Hello how you doing are you new to ubuntu. | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: what GPU? The CPU is not much use in modern systems. | 17:57 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: if you look at the end, it has my name, which in a file with many keys, shows it is obviously mine, so if I need to remove it, I know which one to remove | 17:57 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: but, yes, it's that simple | 17:57 |
| animus-1 | @AdminPX-TB2012 I am | 17:57 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: get it ? | 17:58 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | I have an AMD E-450 APU with Radeion(tm) HD Graphics 1.65 GHz But is that what you looking for:( | 17:58 |
| zykotick9 | animus-1: in irc you don't need the @ just include the nickname. You can use TAB to autocomplete nicks. | 17:58 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I'm not sure if I did this right. I just tried to SSH to it from client and it said authenticity of host can't be established. are you sure you want to continue connecting. | 17:58 |
| t4nk340 | this partition table is ok http://i42.tinypic.com/wvrfwy.jpg ?? | 17:58 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: first connection, just cliek yes | 17:58 |
| ikonia | click | 17:58 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, oh, I thought it wouldnt ask for anything at all | 17:58 |
| animus-1 | I'm not using a decent client though :/ lol | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: what radeon chip is it? | 17:59 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you need to disable host based auth in sshd_config to stop that | 17:59 |
| animus-1 | zykotick9 let's try this.... | 17:59 |
| animus-1 | Yeah, see | 17:59 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: or put the hosts in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, whatever works best for you | 17:59 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, it's fine, I just thought using priv pub sshkeys I wouldn't get ANY prompts. | 17:59 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: it will only ask that one | 17:59 |
| ikonia | once | 17:59 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, it just confused me is all. | 17:59 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | How do I look it up do I go to AMD.com or something google it or something | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: sudo lshw -C display will tell you what it is. If its one of those dual GPU things, you'll have issues | 18:00 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you won't get any prompts if you set it up correctly, eg: disable host based auth, OR put the host keys in the known_hosts file | 18:00 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, had my sshkeys not been working properly, it would have generated a new ssh key in .ssh, correct? | 18:00 |
| nikkubhai | Hi ! I want to share my internet connection to other computers over cable. is it possible? | 18:00 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no | 18:00 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no new keys | 18:00 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you are now "setup" | 18:00 |
| compdoc | nikkubhai, with a router | 18:00 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: when you connected it will add a host key to ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 18:00 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, but if I hadn't set these keys up, and ssh'd anyway, it would have generated one on the fly, right? | 18:00 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: god no | 18:00 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | It not giving me an opition of changing it to XFCE I just downloaded it on the UBUNTU 10.04 why is that??? | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: all I can say is grab the proprietary driver. I don't buy ATI/AMD video chips. I always buy nvidia | 18:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: that would be an amazingly large security hole | 18:01 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: over cable like ethernet cat 5 cable? | 18:01 |
| zykotick9 | !ics | nikkubhai | 18:01 |
| ubottu | nikkubhai: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 18:01 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, so how does ssh work if I don't set up ssh keys? I never did it before and I could ssh just fine (but that was on the LAN) | 18:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: it just wouldn't have let you login with key based auth | 18:01 |
| kpas_ | Does anyone have a link to download ubuntu 11.10 net CD - I do not want to download the whole CD | 18:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: that is user/password authentication | 18:01 |
| zykotick9 | !mini | kpas_ | 18:01 |
| ubottu | kpas_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:01 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, ah, different beast? | 18:01 |
| nikkubhai | compdoc , Hi. Before ubuntu, I used bitwise tunnelier on windows which allowed others to connect. I dont know how to do it on ubuntu | 18:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: if you disable user/password authentication and don't have an ssh key it won't let you login | 18:01 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, where's that done at out of curiosity? | 18:02 |
| === Caspercom is now known as Caspercom|AFK | ||
| nikkubhai | ubottu: I read it. But, I don't know what should the guy on the other end do? | 18:02 |
| ubottu | nikkubhai: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:02 |
| kpas_ | zykotick9, thanks | 18:02 |
| LucidGuy | Can anyone explain why my .qcow2 kvm host file is 34G yet within the vm df -h indicates its a 19G vd? | 18:02 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: password authentication hits /etc/passwd -> /etc/shadow on the server, for auth, ssh keys uses the keys you created for auth and ignores /etc/passwd | 18:02 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | It not giving me an opition on the XFCE I don't know how to change it to it??????? | 18:02 |
| compdoc | nikkubhai, you need to describe your setup, and the location of the other computers | 18:02 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I see. | 18:02 |
| animus-1 | So I have a problem with wireless where it is turned off by default. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. I think the problem is related to a few commands I had to run to get my laptop working as there were driver problems. The commands were: sudo rmmod iwlagn as well as sudo modprobe iwlagn bt_coex_active=0...... | 18:02 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, so I just have to repeat this process 3 more times and I should be good? | 18:02 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: pretty much | 18:03 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, nice. thanks for your help. | 18:03 |
| nikkubhai | I am running ubuntu 12.04 . Others are running windows. they are connected through cable | 18:03 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, it's appreciated. | 18:03 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: if it's cat 5 cable the other guy plugs it in and it works | 18:03 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you may want to improve it, eg: add comments to the key, disable host based auth, etc etc | 18:03 |
| zykotick9 | LucidGuy: ext4 supports "holes", but i though it only worked with RAW images actually. | 18:03 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: but at a highlevel, yes, it's that simple | 18:03 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, # comments? | 18:03 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: yes, -c "jimmys key" so it's obvious who owns what key in the authorized_keys file | 18:03 |
| nikkubhai | sacarlson : But, how? | 18:03 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | never mind I found it lol I had to put in the password to get the opition lol | 18:04 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: I'm not sure what kind of a connection you are trying to share | 18:04 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, do these keys ever have to be refreshed? | 18:04 |
| bc81 | animus-1: do you have a hardware button to toggle the wifi? | 18:04 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, can I expect to redo this next month or something? | 18:04 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: nope | 18:04 |
| Roasted_ | nice, nice | 18:04 |
| Atlantic777 | how to upen grub menu, it seems that's hidden during booting | 18:04 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: I've had the same key for 12 years | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | animus-1: then run: echo "options iwlagn bt_coex_active=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/wireless.conf | 18:04 |
| nikkubhai | I did it before using bitwise tunnelier on windows | 18:04 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, lol | 18:04 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, impressive. | 18:04 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: it's a very effective method | 18:04 |
| compdoc | nikkubhai, connected by what kind of cable? where are they located? in the same house? | 18:04 |
| zykotick9 | Atlantic777: HOLD shift after BIOS | 18:04 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, its simple when you think about it... | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | animus-1: it willmake it use that option by default when it is loaded. Saves you having to do it manually | 18:04 |
| ikonia | actually, that's not true 8 years, I changed it to increase my encyption rate | 18:04 |
| Atlantic777 | zykotick9: tnx :) | 18:05 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: eg: you want to give me access to your machine, I give you my public key, bang we are done | 18:05 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, ssh-keygen, type pw, it barfs out 2 files, .pub contents to server in authorized_keys | 18:05 |
| nikkubhai | See, we are in different rooms of our hostel in university | 18:05 |
| oCean | nikkubhai: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (still alpha). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion | 18:05 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | Hey everyone I have a creation on ARCH how do you get started on it | 18:05 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you want me to not have access, you remove it, bang your done | 18:05 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: we don't have to know passwords etc etc | 18:05 |
| christinepea777 | what is a good channel for linux super-newbie questions? | 18:05 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | I tryed and it is hard | 18:05 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: correct | 18:05 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, very nice. | 18:05 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, thanks for the help. I'm gonna get to creating these quick. | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: ask in the arch channel for arch support | 18:05 |
| ikonia | no problem | 18:05 |
| nikkubhai | oCean : how does it matter? The steps should be same as on 11.10 | 18:05 |
| animus-1 | bc81: I do have a toggle switch | 18:05 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, just to recap, client is ALWAYS private, right? | 18:06 |
| nikkubhai | compdoc : we are in different rooms of our hostel in university connected by lan | 18:06 |
| animus-1 | bc81: But the wireless works, it's just not "enabled" by default | 18:06 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: guard it with your life | 18:06 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, see, that makes no sense to me. I would think server would be private... | 18:06 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: I'm still clueless what connection does you service originate? wifi? cellphone? adsl wire line? | 18:06 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no, you are the user who moves around, this is your data | 18:06 |
| compdoc | nikkubhai, so they are all attached to the same network/switch? | 18:06 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you take the private key with you | 18:06 |
| nikkubhai | adsl wireline | 18:06 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, however, even if someone steals mom's laptop, I can just nuke her public key on the server and all is well | 18:07 |
| nikkubhai | compdoc : Yes. | 18:07 |
| chris_ | anybody know a good cli flashcard program? | 18:07 |
| animus-1 | ActionParsnip: I have added a file in modeprob.d that does this by default so I don't have to run it everytime, but now I have the problem where wireless is "disabled" by default | 18:07 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, not to mention, her user doesn't have root access, so itd be limited, albeit still bad | 18:07 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: correct | 18:07 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: plus if you password the private key, it's pretty much worthless too | 18:07 |
| oCean | nikkubhai: it matters because we cannot be sure what is different and what is. Also it's still alpha, and we don't know what to attribute to the fact its alpha | 18:07 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, sounds good. | 18:07 |

| compdoc | nikkubhai, then you just need a router - they cost $30 or so | 18:07 |
| asteve | Bus error | 18:07 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: eg: if someone steals my private key, they can't use it unless they know the password, they can try to brute force it, but they will be trying for 128years | 18:07 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: so you just need a 8$ cat 5 switch and 3 cat 5 cables and just plug them all together | 18:07 |
| asteve | any ideas where to begin diagnosing? | 18:07 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, a good way to invest precious time | 18:08 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: take 2 minutes to setup, lasts 8 years and counting | 18:08 |
| nikkubhai | sacarlson and compdoc : But, why a router. I did it using bitwise tunnelier on windows without router | 18:08 |
| chris_ | ls as a flashcard program? I was looking for something with statistics and randomization | 18:08 |
| Anubisx94 | hello | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | animus-1: do you have a switch to disable and enable wifi? | 18:09 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: you shouldn't require any tunnel that I know of if you have a standard adsl connection | 18:09 |
| compdoc | nikkubhai, for one thing, the router can remain on all the time - no need to have a PC running | 18:09 |
| animus-1 | ActionParsnip: I do. But that is a hardware switch, this is a soft switch | 18:09 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: you still need some kind of data conection weather wire or wireless | 18:09 |
| animus-1 | ActionParsnip: My wireless can be enable or disabled from the UI, I just would rather not have to "enable" it everytime I boot. | 18:10 |
| nikkubhai | I want a setup like this. Others should enter ip address of my comp, username and password. And then access my internet . | 18:10 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: many adsl boxes already have 4 or more ethernet connections maybe all you need is a cable for the secound computer | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | animus-1: if you run: sudo rfkill unblock all does it unblock? | 18:11 |
| bc81 | animus-1: also, try rfkill unblock 0 | 18:11 |
| animus-1 | ActionParsnip: Not sure what that does? (This is my first use of Linux or Ubuntu for that matter). How can I tell if it unblocks? | 18:12 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: oh ok restricted access then I'm not sure | 18:12 |
| ccmonster | hey guys, when i move from desktop (up and down) my computer will freeze sometimes for a few moments. It's never done this before (i had the monitors side by side prior). Any ideas? | 18:12 |
| nikkubhai | sacarkson : I am in an university. We are all connected through lan. I am in a lab where I get access to unrestricted internet. I want some of my friends to be able to use this internet by entering ip , username and password | 18:12 |
| nikkubhai | Sorry sacarlson | 18:12 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: oh ok then ssh tunnel | 18:13 |
| nikkubhai | Yes | 18:13 |
| ikonia | nikkubhai: sorry - not going to help you bypass your uni lab security | 18:13 |
| nikkubhai | How? | 18:13 |
| ikonia | nikkubhai: talk to your lan administrator and they can setup access if required | 18:13 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, might I bug you again real quick? | 18:13 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: sure | 18:13 |
| animus-1 | ActionParsnip: And yes, it is unblocked | 18:14 |
| nikkubhai | Ok | 18:14 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, maybe I was misunderstanding. I generated 4 keys from my laptop thinking I could jsut swap them to the clients. Can I do that? I see my laptops hostname at the end of each pub file. Can I just erase it, or do I need to generate the keys from each individual system? | 18:14 |
| nikkubhai | sacarlson : ssh tunneling ? How? | 18:14 |
| ccmonster | anyone able to help diagnose? | 18:14 |
| sacarlson | nikkubhai: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding | 18:14 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no, the hostname at the end is because you didn't specify a comment so it creates something to identify | 18:14 |
| nichlas | nikkubhai, if i where you, i would have a look at OpenVPN. Then your friends don't have to mess with ssh on their boxes. | 18:14 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: please stop - we are not going to help him bypass his lab security | 18:15 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, so are these keys useless? | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: not at all | 18:15 |
| nikkubhai | Thank you so much., I will read it now | 18:15 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, can I just erase the laptop hostname at the end? | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: think of your laptop hostname as a pointless comment | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: nothing more | 18:15 |
| AdminPC-TB2012 | ActionParsnip: were can I get the drivers from the iso file when I download ubuntu 11.10 were are they located at I was wondering beacuse I can install ubuntu 10.04 on my new laptop and dont have any problems with it If you know how to do it please tell me lol Thank you.. | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: that's part of the key - but it is not a factor | 18:15 |
| animus-1 | ActionParsnip: rfkill list shows them all as unblocked. I am not sure you're understanding my question though..... My wireless can be turned on and off via both a hardware switch and Ubuntu's soft switch in Network Manager, but currently it boots with the soft switch off (Enable Wireless is unchecked). During the vanilla install it defaulted to on, but now it does not. I just would like it back to default on, not off. | 18:15 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, k, so I MUST leave it alone? | 18:16 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/850269/ | 18:16 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: that's my public key | 18:16 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: look at the very end | 18:16 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, yeah, I see it. | 18:16 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: ok - so I set a comment of my name, you didn't set a comment so it defaults to $user@$host type format | 18:16 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: it's just an identifier | 18:16 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: if you set a comment that will be your identifier | 18:17 |

| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: whythe 'lol'? | 18:17 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no, you do that when you create the key as I advised you 3 times to do | 18:17 |

| Roasted_ | ikonia, pretty sure I do. thanks again! | 18:20 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no problem | 18:20 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, unless you by cahnce know how to incorporate the private key into a windows box :/ | 18:20 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: sure, look at putty | 18:20 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: pagent is the daemon tool for putty | 18:20 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: putty-keygen will convert your key to a format putty can use too | 18:21 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: sorry puttygen | 18:21 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: not putty-keygen | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | AdminPC-TB2012: its a totally differnent release | 18:21 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: launch puttygen to convert the key, (1 time process) load it into pagent, then just connect using putty, zero issue | 18:22 |

| kgdinesh | Is wicd better than default? | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dlentz: the device works, just needs manually enabling each boot | 18:24 |
| Computer-01 | ikonia, I am trying that right noe | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | kgdinesh: in some ways yes, in some ways no | 18:24 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: the default user is root@localhost - if you are accessing it remotley, you are not on localhost, so you would be root@different_host - so you can't connect | 18:24 |
| dlentz | oh, saw u56e and remember that bug(s) | 18:24 |
| animus-1 | dlentz: Thank you, I have done that. That was my initial problem, my wireless would not connect to APs, but now that that has been resolved, I was just trying to have my wireless enable by default as now it isn't | 18:24 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: you need to grant permisions to root@different_host to connect remotly | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | kgdinesh: if it was outright better, it would be used instead of network manager, think about it | 18:24 |

| ActionParsnip | milen8204: possibly | 18:27 |

| Computer-01 | ikonia, error code 2003, cannot connect | 18:44 |
| Firebolt | sacarlson, using google voice would require google's code, and you know how they are about stuff like that | 18:44 |
| ikonia | Computer-01: ok - can your server ping the hostname compute | 18:44 |
| LL2|Android | Like, if I want to list the contents of /bin and /usr/bin without showing files that are in both | 18:44 |
| LL2|Android | If I am able to, how? | 18:44 |

| AdminPC-TB2012 | ActionParsnip: Jordan_U: I was wondering because there alot of files that dont install right and there is not a good way to get my drivers to work. I was wondering how can I get all them to work find with no problem is there a site to go to. And if there is a site were is it lol:) | 19:47 |

| Geodesical | Hello! I run 9.04 (EOL), and when I try to put a disc to transfer the newest version, I cannot open any programs, and the disc doesn't read. Also happens when I put in any other kind of disc. Any help? | 19:55 |
| Jordan_U | Halexander9000: Try running "sudo apt-get update" that should hopefully get rid of the error about unauthenticated packages, and will also therefore probably fix Software Center. | 19:55 |
| Jordan_U | Geodesical: Can you boot from a recent Ubuntu LiveCD? | 19:56 |
| zykotick9 | zulax: your CPU would have to support virtualization for that to work | 19:57 |
| Halexander9000 | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/qFP5s3iw | 19:57 |
| Geodesical | @Jordan_U: No when the disc is inserted any open windows close and the desktop is shown. | 19:57 |

| Laurenceb_ | hi, has anyone here got cadsoft eagle6 to work with ubuntu 10.04LTS? | 19:58 |
| Laurenceb_ | i have an issue with libpng14 | 19:58 |
| zulax | does that mean only 32bit virtualization is pobbible so far? | 19:58 |

| OU818 | rattatoue: look into the sed command | 19:59 |
| zulax | Antares, from ubuntu or Windows? | 19:59 |
| zykotick9 | zulax: then you "should" be able to virtualize 64bit (though i'm not sure why you'd want to) | 19:59 |
| Antares | Zulax: From Windows 7 64-bit. | 19:59 |
| Jordan_U | Geodesical: I don't think you understood the question, let me rephrase it as two questions. 1: Can you use another machine to make an Ubuntu 11.10 LiveCD, or otherwise obtain an Ubuntu 11.10 LiveCD? 2: If yes to 1, what happens when you reboot with said CD in your CDROM drive? | 20:00 |
| zulax | zykotick9, i need some binaries of 64 bit centos | 20:00 |
| zulax | Antares, i am concerned cause when i download the virtual box from package manager it says x86 virtualization | 20:00 |
| zulax | meaning i could only virtualize 32 bit os from it ? | 20:01 |
| Geodesical | 1: No, other computer is Mac '96. 2: I would have to try that. Where can I obtain said disc? | 20:01 |
| zykotick9 | zulax: amd64 (aka x86_64) | 20:01 |
| rutek666 | hi all | 20:01 |
| Antares | Zulax: I created a virtual machine for Linux 2.6 and mounted Linux Mint 12 64-bit edition onto it. | 20:01 |
| zulax | ok, thanks, thats helps alot | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | Geodesical: You can get an Ubuntu CD using a friend's computer, or buy one to be shipped to you via http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=915 | 20:02 |
| zulax | zykotick9, what would 32 bit be called as then? | 20:03 |
| zykotick9 | zulax: x86 | 20:03 |
| zulax | zykotick9, well Virtual box specifically says x86 virtualization of x86 OS | 20:03 |
| Deihmos | ok I just installed ubuntu? how do you add a theme? | 20:03 |
| Geodesical | Jordan_U: Thank you. Does the OS of the other computer matter (Windows, Mac), or is that irrelevant/ | 20:04 |
| Jordan_U | Geodesical: If you have a working USB drive, whose contents you don't mind losing, that can be used as well. | 20:04 |
| zykotick9 | zulax: though i think you'll see i386 in "uname -m" ;) | 20:04 |
| zykotick9 | zulax: notice how x86_64 starts with x86? | 20:04 |
| zulax | x86_64 | 20:04 |

| Jordan_U | Geodesical: Any OS can be used to burn the CD, there are instructions for burning from Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 20:05 |
| zykotick9 | zulax: if you see x86_64 that's 64bit? is that the host or guest? | 20:05 |
| starn | i am in need of help with this.. it's to do with sound and using multiple jacks eg: headphones and speakers etc. http://pastebin.com/pp48atJE is my pastebin. | 20:05 |
| Geodesical | Jordan_U: Okay, thanx | 20:05 |
| zulax | my machine (host) is 64, but the virtualbox software apparently supports only 32 bit virtualization for linux | 20:05 |
| zykotick9 | zulax: no | 20:06 |
| zulax | https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads | 20:06 |

| nikkubhai | Hi! Can anyone please explain me the difference between openssh and openvpn | 20:36 |
| h00k | nikkubhai: ssh is secure shell host, and vpn is virtual private network | 20:36 |
| nikkubhai | So, can I use vpn to let others access internet from my comp | 20:37 |
| nikkubhai | Just like port forwarding in ssh? | 20:37 |
| crond | Hi, can someone tell me why every time I install something with apt, I get '0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded' - the 7 not upgraded bit | 20:37 |
| h00k | nikkubhai: perhaps. SSH uses an application-layer protocol, and VPN is an IP layer solution | 20:38 |
| zykotick9 | crond: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" would probably take care of those | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip | crond: if you run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade are some reported as 'held back'? | 20:38 |
| nibbler | nikkubhai, try to tunnel udp via ssh | 20:38 |
| nikkubhai | how? | 20:39 |
| crond | ActionParsnip, yes, they were. I don't understand why? | 20:39 |
| h00k | nikkubhai: if you want to extend your entire network to those machines, you could set up a VPN connection betwe n them and you | 20:39 |
| nibbler | nikkubhai, not at all. thats (one of) the difference | 20:39 |
| ratcheer | crond: The not upgraded packages are there to be installed, but some of their dependencies on other packages are not yet met. It is usually best to wait a while to see if the dependencies become resolved with future upgrades. | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | crond: the deps for those packages are not ready, although the packages themselves are in the repos | 20:39 |
| h00k | !vpn | nikkubhai | 20:39 |
| ubottu | nikkubhai: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 20:39 |
| crond | ActionParsnip, ah okay so I should not yet install them, then, correct? | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | crond: whenall the deps have been put into the repo, they will be installed | 20:40 |

| iceroot | saryth: exe and notepad has nothing to do with ubuntu | 20:49 |

| iceroot | ActionParsnip: users which are using firefox with wine so that there is a notepad entry should go directly to ##windows | 20:50 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot: firefox will be a native app, the config of file associtaion will be an ubuntu misconfiguration... | 20:51 |

| saryth | Notepad comes with wine | 20:52 |

| Laurenceb_ | hi | 20:54 |
| Laurenceb_ | can someone help me install libopenssl 1.0.0 on ubuntu 10.04LTS | 20:55 |
| TheLogan | Im trying to convert from windows to ubuntu, i have a problem with the installation process. at the moment i have three different cd's 1 with 10.10 one with 11.10 x386 and one with 11.10 x64 | 20:55 |
| TheLogan | The only one i can get working is the 10.10 version | 20:55 |
| Laurenceb_ | ive built from source but its not installed | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | phpn00b: then just copy it all to a removable storage device, I use a cron'd cp job which runs and copies the lot | 20:55 |
| PatrickBic | TheLogan, problem is? | 20:55 |
| danileigh79 | ActionParsnip: Sorry if I was begining to get a little bitchy earlier, I hate it when things don't go right with programs/apps/peripherals | 20:55 |
| TheLogan | so i want to ask, is it possible to install 10.10 and then update to 11.11? or is that like going from win xp to win7? | 20:56 |
| saryth | ActionParsnip: It's associated with Wine and Archive Manager, for exe and zip respectively, however, they show up as unknown in FF and open in notepad | 20:56 |
| PatrickBic | TheLogan, totally possible | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: np, there seems to be light. Its not something I've used. Nor do I own an Xbox | 20:56 |
| TheLogan | Awesome, then thats what im going to do. Thanks PatrickBic =) | 20:56 |
| PatrickBic | either use the update UI or run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | saryth: doesn't firefox have its own associations...? | 20:56 |
| PatrickBic | UI most likely for you | 20:56 |
| xangua | TheLogan: you can upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 and then to 11.10 | 20:56 |
| saryth | ActionParsnip: Lemme check.... | 20:57 |
| PatrickBic | xangua, well.. ofc ;) but i thought he meant more like "can i get from 10.10 to 11.10 somehow" | 20:57 |
| TheLogan | Ok, yea ive programmed for 2 years (in unity3D) but my knowledge of commandline in windows is next to nil.. so UI it is ^^ | 20:57 |
| TheLogan | yea, i wanted to know if its possible, knowing how to is even better thanks both of you PatrickBic and xangua =) | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | TheLogan: if you want CLI in Windows, use powershell ;) | 20:58 |
| PatrickBic | TheLogan, UI tells you like "there is a new version, do you want to update" (dont remember the exact wording but.. w/e) | 20:58 |
| TheLogan | ActionParsnip: CLI? =) | 20:58 |
| PatrickBic | command line interface | 20:58 |
| TheLogan | PatrickBic: awesome | 20:58 |
| saryth | ActionParsnip: Yes, but both are set to "Always ask". It asks, but only gives me notepad as an option | 20:58 |

| dtfdtf | no | 21:00 |

| danileigh79 | brb, smoke break | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | saryth: link is bad | 21:03 |
| dlentz | avi is just a container, and i don't think you need restricted-extras for it IIRC | 21:03 |
| dlentz | it would depend on the video format in the container | 21:03 |
| rumble-pack | ActionParsnip, by navigating to http://127.0.0.1:Port in my browser | 21:03 |

| TheSimkin | i'm a bit ticked that vlc 2.0 isn't available for linux though. who the heck does that. | 21:03 |

| TheSimkin | danileigh79: delete it? | 21:21 |
| TheSimkin | i was thinking you'd change the xorg.conf to use just one of them vs the generic one. | 21:21 |
| TheSimkin | only problem is you can't be sure what order they will come up in | 21:22 |
| TheSimkin | i love linux | 21:22 |

| starn | dlentz: is there away to figure out what model stac92xx is?? for dell dimension e521? i know options snd-hda-intel model=stack3 is dimension e520.. but not e521... | 21:22 |
| danileigh79 | TheSimkin: I see what you're getting at... *facepalm* | 21:23 |
| dlentz | model=dell-3stack probably works if the e520 is similar | 21:23 |
| starn | would a pastebin of my alsa-base-conf be helpful to see why it's not working the way i want? | 21:23 |

| dlentz | starn, i can't think of how to separate sounds like you want, either the headphones are plugged in and muting the speakers or they're not | 21:25 |
| dlentz | i'm not sure how windows does it | 21:25 |
| rebe | ubuntu have any preinstalled soft to mount files like .iso ? | 21:25 |
| starn | dlentz: http://pastebin.com/508VhqSF would anything in that suggest away?? and do you maybe know someone or somewhere to ask? | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dtfdtf: its a lot of data but very worth it | 21:26 |
| dlentz | that just looks like the standard alsa-base.conf | 21:26 |
| danileigh79 | starn: ubuntu forums is one of the best places to check or google something like "sound out of both speakers and headphones in ubuntu" | 21:26 |

| ActionParsnip | WebDawg: does the client system have an X server on it (Desktop linux will have this)? | 21:36 |
| LL2|Android | Hmm | 21:36 |
| WebDawg | ActionParsnip, Yes. | 21:36 |
| LL2|Android | You know how they say init CAN'T be killed? | 21:36 |
| guntbert | FPC: how did you install it? | 21:36 |
| LL2|Android | With -9, it doesn't seem to do anything | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | WebDawg: then just launch the browser from your SSH session. be sure to connect with: ssh -X username@server | 21:36 |
| FPC | 3rd party installed it for us over the internet | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | WebDawg: you can then run: firefox & and the browser will run. | 21:37 |

| ActionParsnip | WebDawg: ahh if its for that then vnc is handy | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | WebDawg | 21:39 |

[i have it set to stereo duplex...] well actually it'll still only show the 1 output / 1 input even with it changed to something else.. maybe cuz headphones in??? but none the less... hardware wise i'm supposedly able to support surround sound. | 21:47 |

| danileigh79 | starn: regardless of how many jacks there are, the sound can only run out of 1 output at a time | 21:48 |
| danileigh79 | starn: My recommendation is now to go to your local radio shack and buy a 1/8 jack splitter | 21:49 |
| jack^_ | D: | 21:49 |

| danileigh79 | Yonotu: mine clocks in right around 1:15 for a boot up, might just be hardware limitations.... | 21:54 |
| sweb | gandum_zaar: welcome to ubuntu IRC. i'm mohammad | 21:54 |
| TheSimkin | starn: some audio cards have an amplified line out and just a regular line out (no amp) you should be able to use both | 21:54 |
| TheSimkin | starn: if you don't understand, go with the option given... use a line splitter | 21:54 |
| danileigh79 | TheSimkin: he only has one about in the actual sound card, it can't process output through two mediums at the same time, it's hardware | 21:55 |
| danileigh79 | TheSimkin: *output | 21:55 |
| danileigh79 | TheSimkin: if he had an amplifying output, it ould list as 2 outputs, not just one | 21:55 |

| Gentoo64 | 6gb upwards | 22:12 |
| Gentoo64 | id say | 22:12 |
| [IFOC]75 | oh | 22:12 |
| [IFOC]75 | I gave it 1 TB on my desktop | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | [IFOC]75: about 7Gb for / is enough | 22:12 |
| Pikkachu | [IFOC]75: mine is 20GiB | 22:12 |
| Gentoo64 | if you got a big drive then partition it | 22:12 |
| Gentoo64 | and use big for data | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | [IFOC]75: the rest can be used for /home | 22:13 |
| [IFOC]75 | hmm | 22:13 |
| [IFOC]75 | great | 22:13 |
| [IFOC]75 | this laptop only has 500 GB | 22:13 |
| [IFOC]75 | I'm glad I can still use Linux when I'm away | 22:13 |
| Gentoo64 | instead of having like a 200gb home you might as well use it as a 200gb files mount point | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | [IFOC]75: 500Gb is plenty | 22:13 |
| [IFOC]75 | oh, I can't give all of that to linux | 22:13 |
| [IFOC]75 | some of that needs to be Windows 7 | 22:13 |
| [IFOC]75 | a lot of it, actually | 22:14 |
| [IFOC]75 | unfortunately | 22:14 |
| Roasted_ | sorry to hear that :/ | 22:14 |
| [IFOC]75 | that's why I was giving 50 G | 22:14 |
| [IFOC]75 | it's a work laptop too | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | [IFOC]75: give the same amount RAM (plus 10%) as swap space, about 7Gb for / and the rest for /home | 22:14 |
| Gentoo64 | 50gb is well enough | 22:14 |
| [IFOC]75 | and they use Microsoft Virtual PC | 22:14 |
| [IFOC]75 | I tried using VirtualBox on their .vhd's but it didn't work well | 22:14 |
| [IFOC]75 | mouse capture problems | 22:14 |
| bagels | How can I force ubuntu to automatically mark a file as executable? | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | bagels: chmod +x file | 22:15 |
| bagels | ActionParsnip, these files are on a CDROM | 22:16 |
| m1ke | hi there | 22:16 |
| TheSimkin | bagels: to do it automatically the best way is to use acl's. | 22:16 |
| [IFOC]75 | oh heh | 22:16 |
| [IFOC]75 | I've only used 30 GB | 22:16 |
| [IFOC]75 | on this system | 22:16 |
| [IFOC]75 | ... how | 22:16 |
| FloodBot1 | [IFOC]75: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:16 |
| [IFOC]75 | I put so much stuff on this | 22:16 |
| [IFOC]75 | oh, sorry | 22:16 |
| bagels | TheSimkin, what's an acl? | 22:16 |
| TheSimkin | bagels: access control list | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | bagels: then you will need to mount the whole CD as executable. Why did you not say it was on a CD?? | 22:17 |
| bagels | TheSimkin, how do i go about doing that? | 22:17 |
| [IFOC]75 | thanks for the advice, and I've really enjoyed Ubuntu | 22:17 |
| bagels | ActionParsnip, sorry, I was asking for the whole OS, so I can stop having to change each file | 22:17 |
| [IFOC]75 | best OS I've ever used | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | [IFOC]75: linux uses shared libs, so if some libs are already in use by one app they will not be loaded again,same with installed apps. WIndows wastes a LOT of resources duplicating stuff and bloats heavily | 22:18 |
| === max is now known as Guest45470 | ||
| TheSimkin | bagels: this guide is alright, but once you have it installed you can use gui tools to set the acls (much easier than learning the cli lingo) http://beginlinux.com/server_training/server-managment-topics/1038-ubuntu-804-access-control-lists | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | bagels: you will need to remount the CD so that it is executable | 22:18 |
| TheSimkin | bagels: in kde i just right click on a folder and set advanced permissions... not sure how to do it in gnome but i expect it's just as easy. | 22:18 |
| sweb | gandum_zaar: welcome back | 22:18 |
| gandum_zaar | are | 22:19 |
| crizzy | ActionParsnip: windows itself doesn't waste anything, 3rd party applications just in general have a lot less shared libraries outside the windows platform libraries themselves | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | crizzy: a 7gb install for Win7 just for the base OS. Pretty poor if you ask me. | 22:19 |
| TheSimkin | bagels: basically apt-get instlal acl; change fstab options to include acl, reboot, right click on folder and go to advanced perms | 22:19 |
| crizzy | ActionParsnip: that exactly includes all the windows frameworks, aka these magical 'shared libraries' | 22:20 |
| bagels | TheSimkin, that sounds confusing | 22:20 |
| TheSimkin | even this? bagels: basically apt-get instlal acl; change fstab options to include acl, reboot, right click on folder and go to advanced perms | 22:20 |
| bagels | ActionParsnip, how do i mount it as executable | 22:20 |
| TheSimkin | bagels: btw, you really shouldn't set the execute flag by default, it is somewhat retarded. | 22:21 |
| Gentoo64 | bagels: what are you trying to do? would it not be easier to copy whatever it is over and chmod it | 22:21 |
| TheSimkin | kinda like feeding the tigers at the zoo. | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | bagels: look into the mount command | 22:21 |
| BrendanMcc | heya guys :) - Running Ubuntu 11.04 in Vmware. My problem is I cant get an ethernet device up, via DHCP or assigning a static IP. When assigning static, I cant even ping the router/gateway.. Can someone plz help :) | 22:21 |
| TheSimkin | bagels: you can execute things just by runnin sh ./commandyouwanttorun | 22:21 |
| bagels | Gentoo64, for some reason I can't copy all the files over, i keep getting i/o errors | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | crizzy: then throw in about 6Gb of office.... | 22:21 |
| Gentoo64 | bagels: weird, tried memtest? | 22:23 |
| Jordan_U | TheSimkin: "sh ./commandyouwantorun" if commandyouwantorun is a POSIX sh script, not if it's an executable, and not even if it's a bash script. | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | bagels: if you want to install an app via Wine, I suggest you use playonlinux, makes things a little nicer | 22:24 |
| crizzy | ActionParsnip: what has the office to do with the OS? | 22:24 |
| bagels | ActionParsnip, does that work with nero? | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | crizzy: its bloated | 22:24 |
| gandhijee_ | hey when i create a deb package with dpkg, does it look @ /proc/mounts for anything? | 22:24 |
| crizzy | so is libreoffice | 22:24 |
| crizzy | nothing to do with os, anyway | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | bagels: Nero doesn't work with wine as far as I know, there is nero for Linux | 22:25 |
| bagels | See, the DVD drive came with Nero, and on the box it says nero for linux, but it looks like nero for windows | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | crizzy: its not nearly as big | 22:25 |
| Gentoo64 | windows 7 is still fast.. | 22:25 |

| Buceph | Hey, Pidgin refused to connect to any IRC network for me as did empathy, so I presumed Pidgin messed with something, so I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling it with "sudo apt-get remove pidgin" but pidgin still shows up under the "envelope" icon in the top right of ubuntu. | 22:29 |
| terminhell | purge | 22:29 |
| Gentoo64 | Buceph: rebooted? | 22:30 |
| Buceph | I've tried purge, it's still there. | 22:30 |
| Gentoo64 | might be some cache | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Buceph: uninstalling it ten reinstalling it will not reset settings | 22:30 |
| Gentoo64 | remove /home settings | 22:30 |
| BrendanMcc | could my network issue be a driver problem or kernel problem as im running ubuntu 11.04 on VMWare 3.1.5 | 22:30 |

| rattatoue | !question | 22:40 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 22:40 |
| kingnebex | ActionParsnip> yes i have but i ignored it y? | 22:40 |
| lavadude | When i run this command: sudo -u git -H git clone git://github.com/gitlabhq/gitolite /home/git/gitolite | 22:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: the surce of those updates are called repositories, or repos for short. I suggest you get updated | 22:41 |
| lavadude | but i get the following errorL fatal: Could not change back to '/root': Permission denied | 22:41 |

| lavadude | i'm running the command as root | 22:42 |
| kingnebex | <ActionParsnip> yes i havve bt as i have told u i gnore them | 22:42 |

| royale1223 | lavadude: when do you get thsi error? | 22:42 |
| OerHeks | lavadude, so something like /home/$user/git/gitoline ? | 22:42 |
| lavadude | https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/wiki/Gitolite | 22:42 |
| rattatoue | bushy, when you go into that directory can you move files around as a normal user or do you need to be root do so? | 22:42 |
| kingnebex | <ActionParsnip> packet tracer is a study program from cisco networking academy software center doesnt have that | 22:43 |
| Deihmos | I just installed ubuntu. There is something wrong with the sound. WHen boot it takes at least 3 minutes after boot to hear the start-up sound | 22:43 |
| bushy | I can work the files w/o any problem while on the UBUNTU box and I can read the files from the WINDOWS box | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: so what file have you downloaded? | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | bushy: does the windows system's firewall allow the traffic? | 22:44 |
| lavadude | @rattatoue that does work | 22:44 |
| lavadude | i mean doen't | 22:44 |
| rattatoue | lavadude, did it fix it? | 22:44 |
| rattatoue | oh | 22:44 |
| gordon1234 | bushy, Have you put the share in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Also, when you change file permission, are you doing this using sudo or just through the file manager? | 22:44 |
| gamemakingdude | Hi, does anyone know how to setup an ftp server in ubuntu 10.10? | 22:44 |
| rattatoue | lavadude, did you try running it from the /home/git/ directory? so it removes the whole gitolite folder? | 22:44 |
| bushy | I beleive so , I can disable it and try again but that doesn't address why when trying to set permissions they immedaitely revert to NONE | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | gamemakingdude: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer | 22:45 |
| lavadude | @rattatoue no, let me try that | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | gamemakingdude: i suggest you install openssh-server and use sftp via that | 22:45 |

| Pikkachu | anonymousinuk: not if you don't ask | 22:49 |
| gamemakingdude | for the ftp? | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: chmod +x will make the file executable, you just need to give it the file name, obviously if the file is in a different folder you will need to specif the full pat | 22:49 |

| rattatoue | _Marcus, read what ActionParsnip posted. I have always done it manually via edit of sudoers | 22:54 |
| Crash_O-D | gentoo64 im pon xubuntu with xfce | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: so you dont use CLI in windows either I guess.. | 22:54 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: is there a file called /etc/chromium/default | 22:54 |
| gamemakingdude | Actionparsnip any idea why i can't connect to my ftp? | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | rattatoue: adding a user to the admin group is fareasier and cleaner than messing with sudoers | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | gamemakingdude: try rebooting the box | 22:55 |
| rattatoue | ActionParsnip, true, but I am use to it the other way. So its personal choice that way. | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | rattatoue: its the whole purpose the group exists... | 22:55 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, considering I can ssh without any key (I assume thanks to known hosts) it becomes confusing to me on how I can stage my setup, because I'd like to see it fail without the keys so I can understand it | 22:55 |
| aechylus126 | Hello, has anyone used wkhtmltopdf | 22:56 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: I explained this to you before | 22:56 |
| rattatoue | ActionParsnip, true, but I still prefer the other way. So again personal choice. | 22:56 |
| aechylus126 | I can't seem to get it to support css3 | 22:56 |
| kingnebex | i only have ubuntu in may machine | 22:56 |
| Crash_O-D | gentoo64 no i can not find it in there | 22:56 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: that is getting authed against /etc/passwd | 22:56 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: that is nothing to do with host keys | 22:56 |
| gamemakingdude | Ok ill try rebooting | 22:56 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you need to disable non-key based auth if you want it to be keys only | 22:56 |
| kingnebex | <ActionParsnip> can u help me i wwant to us termina to install it | 22:56 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I see. Sorry it's just a gray area to me, but I remember that now. | 22:56 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: ok, edit /usr/share/applications/chromium file and add the command argument to chromium line | 22:56 |
| Layne89 | Hi all! I'm just a noob in Ubuntu, and I have a problem. I need to mount smb resource and I don't get how to do it. I read forums, and tried something like sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.162.245 /media/storage , but it does not works. I need help. If someone can tell me what to do, please explain. Thanks in advance | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: what is the name of the file and where is it stored (Case sensitive) | 22:57 |
| antoniodominguez | hi!! | 22:57 |
| antoniodominguez | i need the UPS Tuner Software of MGE (Merlin Gerin) anyone can help me? is very urgent | 22:57 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: that will make it global, or you could just make a desktop launcher with those commands | 22:57 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I guess I just don't trust the keys since I can't test it if it fails, but I'll look into disabling non-key based auth to test. | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | rattatoue: so your personal choice is the hardway, strange... | 22:57 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, do you know by chance how to disable it offhand? | 22:57 |
| rattatoue | ActionParsnip, rofl. Hard to you maybe easy to me. Its what im use to. | 22:57 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 22:58 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: PasswordAuthentication no | 22:58 |
| === iqpi|off is now known as iqpi|on | ||
| rattatoue | ActionParsnip, its really not that big of deal, its just a different way to get to the same result. | 22:58 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: it is set to PasswordAuthentication yes | 22:58 |
| _Marcus | Thank you ActionParsnip and rattatoue | 22:58 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: change it to no | 22:58 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: restart sshd | 22:58 |
| antoniodominguez | i need the UPS Tuner Software of MGE (Merlin Gerin) anyone can help me? is very urgent | 22:58 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, doesn't exist | 22:58 |
| rattatoue | _Marcus, yvw | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | rattatoue: easier to run a single command than mess in a text file which could possibly break sudo | 22:58 |
| Roasted_ | ssh_config? | 22:58 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no, sshd_config on the server | 22:58 |
| kingnebex | on my desktop and has one hell of long name y? | 22:58 |
| Roasted_ | I have ssh_config, not sshd_config | 22:58 |
| Crash_O-D | gentoo64 will not let me edit file in that folder im am a root user | 22:59 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: on the server ? | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: if you can give the name of the file, I can give the command how to run it | 22:59 |
| rattatoue | ActionParsnip, just let it go man. | 22:59 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: permission denied? :s or a blank file? | 22:59 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, on the server I have both (sorry I was on my desktop) | 22:59 |
| bushy | I checked samba.conf I found my listed in it as writeable =no. I will change it but I need to know how to change the file from read only . | 22:59 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, why would the server have different than my desktop? | 22:59 |
| Crash_O-D | gentoo64 i right clicked hit properties | 22:59 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: think it through - how can changing settings on the client change how the server authenticates | 22:59 |
| kingnebex | ActionParsnip:on my desktop and has one hell of long name y? | 22:59 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: you're not running sshd on your client, that's why you don't have an sshd config | 23:00 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: no edit it from terminal, sudo vim/nano whatever | 23:00 |
| gamemakingdude | ok i rebooted | 23:00 |
| gamemakingdude | Still not able to connect | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: you said, as I saw. If you can give the name, I can give the command | 23:00 |
| antoniodominguez | i need the UPS Tuner Software of MGE (Merlin Gerin) anyone can help me? is very urgent | 23:00 |
| Crash_O-D | gentoo64 how about gedit? | 23:00 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, my desktop was never acting as the client, which makes me wonder why the server would ahve anything different. Besides swapping keys in and out I changed nothing else on the server. | 23:00 |
| kingnebex | ActionParsnip:awkey..bt im thinkn of redownloadn it | 23:00 |
| bushy | Do I just prepend sudo to gedit for samba.conf | 23:00 |
| HoNgOuRu | how do I install the cg compiler? | 23:00 |
| gamemakingdude | I'm not able to connect to the ftp service i have on my ubuntu | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: what ??? | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: how will that change anything? | 23:01 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: gksudo gedit is better than running the file manager as root | 23:01 |
| kingnebex | ActionParsnip: no p | 23:01 |
| rattatoue | bushy, you could chmod 066 thefile in the terminal that would make it read write | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: we ssh'd in from your desktop earlier | 23:01 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: get used to nano if your new its easier | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: how can it have "never been a client" we ssh'd in from it earlier | 23:01 |
| anonymousinuk | parsnip that link didnt help, should i be looking for a md5 checker ? | 23:01 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, that was using my laptop | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: you can rename the file if you want | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: does your desktop have "ssh" on it | 23:01 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, yes | 23:01 |
| kingnebex | ActionParsnip:wat chane wat? | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: then it is an ssh client - it has /etc/ssh_config | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: it's that simple, ssh needs that config to work | 23:02 |
| KaiForce | can you boot the live CD without the GUI? | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: the name of the file, so it's shorter... | 23:02 |
| Layne89 | Hi all! I'm just a noob in Ubuntu, and I have a problem. I need to mount smb resource and I don't get how to do it. I read forums, and tried something like sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.162.245 /media/storage , but it does not works. I need help. If someone can tell me what to do, please explain. Thanks in advance | 23:02 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, so the sshd_config is generated when someone ssh's into the box in question? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: no | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: you must be real new to computers dude | 23:02 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: sshd_config is required before a ssh server can start | 23:02 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: ssh generates nothing dynamically | 23:02 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: just make a desktop file if you dont need it global, its much easier as if you edit /usr/share/applications file every time you update chromium youll need to re-edit it | 23:02 |
| Crash_O-D | gentoo64 gksudo gedit google chrome? | 23:03 |
| bushy | I prepended the command with sudo and that allowed me to save the changes | 23:03 |
| Gentoo64 | no | 23:03 |
| KaiForce | Layne89: error message? | 23:03 |
| kingnebex | ActionParsnip:im doin my best DUUUUDE | 23:03 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, sec, my desktop didn't have openssh-server installed actually... | 23:03 |
| kingnebex | ActionParsnip:by da way done renamin it | 23:03 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: of course it won't | 23:03 |
| gordon1234 | bushy, sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf You will need to restart the service .... good reference here https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html | 23:03 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: it's CLIENT not a SERVER | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: its cool man, rename the file so it's smaller, name it what you want | 23:03 |
| Layne89 | KaiForce: yes | 23:03 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: right click the desktop, create launcher, launcher name: chromium, command: chromium --no-referrers or whatever it was | 23:03 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I just split the tasks of my desktop vs file server. my desktop used to be myd esktop + server in 1 | 23:03 |
| KaiForce | Layne89 - that server path doesn't have a share specified | 23:03 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: openssh-server installs the SERVER - hence the name of the package openssh-SERVER | 23:03 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, now I have sshd_config. gotcha... | 23:04 |
| Gentoo64 | Crash_O-D: why do you even need this no referers? | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: call it: install.bin | 23:04 |
| Crash_O-D | gentoo64 for a script | 23:04 |
| KaiForce | should look like similar to this: //192.168.2.44/share | 23:04 |
| eniac | Jesi li tu? | 23:04 |
| kingnebex | ActionParsnip:done that all ready | 23:04 |
| alexxandroid | yo | 23:04 |
| bushy | gordon 1234- thanks for the tip. I read the doc | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | kingnebex: then run: chmod +x ~/Desktop/install.bin; sudo ~/Desktop/install.bin | 23:04 |
| KaiForce | Is there a way to boot the live CD directly to terminal, no GUI? | 23:04 |
| Gentoo64 | KaiForce: yes | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !text | KaiForce | 23:04 |
| ubottu | KaiForce: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 23:04 |
| KaiForce | Gentoo64: tyvm | 23:05 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip: would that work for a livecd? | 23:05 |
| pixelhack | ok I have a question, in ubuntu how do I change how the terminal looks? | 23:05 |
| Layne89 | KaiForce: It has. Anyway, i can connect by SSH (Putty), but I need mount share. In Windows this share is visible and it mounts as network disk | 23:05 |
| KaiForce | zykotick9: i'll try it and let you know | 23:05 |
| Gentoo64 | pixelhack: right click and edit preferences | 23:05 |
| Gentoo64 | gnome-terminal that is | 23:05 |
| zykotick9 | KaiForce: my answer would be - probably not. | 23:05 |
| kingnebex | ActionParsnip:ima coppy that | 23:05 |
| KaiForce | Layne89: what do you mean. Post the exact thing you are trying. | 23:05 |
| pixelhack | thanks gentoo64 | 23:06 |

| KaiForce | Layne89: you have no share specified, just a server. You need //192.168.162.245/share | 23:08 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, generated a new key, added the pub contents to authorized_keys, now I get the yes/no prompt I did before. However, since the passwordauthentication is set to no, this clearly suggests it's just adding this entry to known hosts. eh? am I on the right path? | 23:09 |
| anonymousinuk | Actionparsnip helpi need noob friendly help MD5 means nothing to me | 23:09 |
| gamemakingdude | I have vsFTPd installed atm | 23:09 |
| gamemakingdude | should i remove that | 23:09 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, ha, still denied. cancel that. | 23:09 |
| gamemakingdude | and use something else? | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | anonymousinuk: its how you test ISOs to make sure they are complete and consistent | 23:10 |
| gordon1234 | Layne89, what sort of drive is it you are trying to mount? Windows? LInux? | 23:10 |
| psf | hello, i'm having trouble resizing mdadm partition. it says: "The filesystem is already 976757239 blocks long. Nothing to do!". Ideas? | 23:11 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: see how it works now ? | 23:11 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, I'm getting the hang of it, still denied tho even though I have keys set up... | 23:11 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: take a look through the sshd_config file and you'll see the settings for allowing key based auth, host based auth, password based auth etc | 23:11 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: it sounds silly, but the settings are quite obvious in how they are named, have a read through | 23:12 |
| anonymousinuk | ok i failed to find what i needed on the link u sent what was i looking for? | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | anonymousinuk: what ISO are you using? | 23:13 |
| gamemakingdude | Argh, this is annoying me, I really need the ftp to be setup asap | 23:13 |
| anonymousinuk | brasero (trying) | 23:13 |
| Layne89 | gordon1234: As I know, it is Windows 7 on that machine, and it has virtualized by Vmware Debian. I am a noob in network technologies. I heard that folders are shared by Samba | 23:13 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, thanks. there doesn't seem to be that much meat in this config though. I'll google around though. appreciate it. | 23:14 |
| psf | hello, i'm having trouble resizing mdadm partition. it says: "The filesystem is already 976757239 blocks long. Nothing to do!". Ideas? | 23:14 |

| ubottu | anonymousinuk: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 23:15 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: there should be enough "obvious" settings in there to help you get the basic setup and then search for more detailed stuff | 23:15 |
| anonymousinuk | why is it pirate? | 23:15 |
| Roasted_ | ikonia, from what I understand, the only authentication possible right now is key based authentication, which is denying me. Ic an't help but to wonder I goofed up the key stuff as a result. | 23:15 |
| ikonia | Roasted_: possibly | 23:16 |
| anonymousinuk | it has been payed for but no backup was made | 23:16 |
| ikonia | anonymousinuk: write to microsoft they will send you free media | 23:16 |
| danileigh79 | anonymousinuk: it is illegal to burn a paid operating system to disc, thus, considered piracy | 23:16 |

| anonymousinuk | how can i do that when the pc wont boot? | 23:17 |

| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: its vinagre you need | 23:24 |
| Layne89 | ActionParsnip: Thanks! | 23:24 |
| danileigh79 | Dr_willis: recommendation for best6? | 23:24 |
| rdz11 | Am I the only person having trouble with the Adobe Flash Player plugin after the latest update in Ubuntu? | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | danileigh79: vino is in a default install as far as I know | 23:25 |
| Jordan_U | danileigh79: vinagre is a VNC client and server, which IIRC comes installed in Ubuntu by default. | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis | danileigh79, totally depends on what you are doing with the vnc session. | 23:25 |
| erpo | ActionParsnip: Did they ever fix vinagre so it isn't dead dog slow? | 23:25 |
| anonymousinuk | thnx ikonia / actionparsnip | 23:25 |
| gordon1234 | Layne89, what is currently running on the PC? You should be able to connect if it is running Windows 7 as a host. No need to install VirtualBox unless you want to run miltiple OS's on the box. | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis | vinagre/vini shares the current desktop. Tightvnc for example.. does not. | 23:25 |
| danileigh79 | Dr_willis: Just wanna control lappy from android phone | 23:25 |
| anonymousinuk | that was stressful | 23:25 |
| gamemakingdude | Well, I have apache and vsftpd isn't working for me for some reason | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis | danileigh79, i use ssh from my phone. :) | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rdz11: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 23:25 |
| gamemakingdude | can't set up an account | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | erpo: never used it. VNC is horrible | 23:26 |
| Layne89 | Currently runned Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64 | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | danileigh79, theres also splashtop, and teamviewer. :) | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rdz11: use http://pastie.org or similar | 23:26 |
| xsl | guys even tough i made grub verbose, at boot the last thing i see is "running /scripts/init-bottom ..." and i can't see actual services starting up | 23:27 |
| danileigh79 | Dr_willis: those two for phone or lappy or both? | 23:27 |
| Dr_willis | danileigh79, all of the above. :) | 23:27 |
| zykotick9 | xsl: you might want to try removing "quiet slash" | 23:27 |
| dat789 | hi | 23:27 |
| dat789 | i've got a Microsoft LifeCam | 23:27 |
| rdz11 | ActionParsnip: hi... this is it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/850689/ | 23:28 |
| dat789 | it doesn't seem to work | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: does it work in cheese? | 23:28 |
| dat789 | can any body help? | 23:28 |
| Dr_willis | !webcam | dat789 | 23:28 |
| ubottu | dat789: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 23:28 |
| dat789 | nope | 23:28 |
| Dr_willis | its possible its not supported at all. | 23:28 |
| xsl | zykotick9: i did, thats why i can see it verbose, and i watch kernel boot up - but after the "running /scripts/init-bottom ..." i dont see anything else . but wen i do shutdown .. i see them all ... could plymouth be broken? | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: then run: lsusb then use the 8 character hex id to find guides | 23:28 |
| OU818 | !fap | 23:28 |
| dat789 | lsusb at the terminal ? | 23:29 |
| zykotick9 | xsl: not sure. good luck. | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | rdz11: sudo apt-get --purge remove browser-plugin-gnash flashplugin-installer gnash gnash-common | 23:29 |
| OU818 | !nasty-narcoleptic | 23:29 |
| xsl | zykotick9: :) thx for trying | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | rdz11: then enable the partner repo and install adobe-installer it will give 64bit flash to match your 64bit OS | 23:29 |
| rdz11 | ActionParsnip: thanks! I'll try that | 23:30 |
| Layne89 | gordon1234: Currently runned Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64. I connected by openvpn to corporative network. I actually don't know how all it works, but I want to mount host 192.168.162.245. I don't know what OS is runned on that host. I think that is Debian, which installed on Vmware on Windows 7 Corporate Edition | 23:30 |
| === iqpi|on is now known as iqpi|off | ||
| dat789 | ok, I'm here --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasMicrosoft | 23:31 |
| dat789 | my cam is the first one | 23:31 |
| dat789 | LifeCam cinema... what's next ? | 23:31 |
| Layne89 | gordon1234: Stop, i'm fool. On that host Debian, because I can connect by SSH to this host | 23:32 |
| Dr_willis | install/run cheese from a terminal, look for error messages perhaps dat789 | 23:32 |
| dat789 | i've got cheese | 23:32 |
| NyLes | hi, do i really need to have a swap area? | 23:32 |
| dat789 | but how to run it from terminal ? pls... forgive my noobiness | 23:32 |
| Dr_willis | NyLes, a swap partition is very reccomended. | 23:32 |
| xsl | is Apparmor really needed ? | 23:33 |
| kawarshy | hi, how to change ubuntu 11.10 interface language to arabic, because the login screen dose not have that option! | 23:33 |
| Dr_willis | NyLes, if you ever want to use hibernate - its also required. | 23:33 |
| OerHeks | dat789, open dash and type cheese | 23:33 |
| Dr_willis | !apparmor | 23:33 |
| ubottu | For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 23:33 |
| NyLes | Dr_wilis ow, thanks, what is your recommended size for it? | 23:33 |
| xsl | s/apparmor/apport | 23:33 |
| dat789 | cheese opened. | 23:34 |
| dat789 | just a blank black screen | 23:34 |
| rebe | I have swap file, not partition | 23:34 |
| rebe | less trouble | 23:34 |
| gordon1234 | Layne89, so on the basis that you are trying to mount a drive on a Windows 7 guest OS, under a Linux host OS, the previous link should help you out. | 23:34 |
| gamemakingdude | Anyone know why i get this error "htpasswd: cannot create file /etc/vsftpd/passwd " | 23:34 |
| dat789 | can't see error or anything anywhere | 23:34 |
| ikonia | gamemakingdude permissions ? | 23:34 |
| ikonia | gamemakingdude: path doesn't exist ? | 23:34 |
| ikonia | gamemakingdude: work it out | 23:34 |
| adominguezc | i need the software UPS Tuner of MGE (Merlin Gerin) anyone calp me?? is very urgent | 23:34 |
| fire3 | gamemakingdude: use sudo ? | 23:34 |
| ikonia | adominguezc: is that software available on linux ? | 23:35 |
| OerHeks | dat789, keep cheese open, unplug & plug your usb cam again. | 23:35 |
| gamemakingdude | it wont work with sudo | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: i thought you said it didn't work in cheese: | 23:35 |
| NyLes | how can i calculate the rght swap area for me? | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | NyLes: how much ram do you have? | 23:35 |
| adominguezc | ikonia: i don't know | 23:35 |
| ikonia | adominguezc: then ask the vendor if they make a linux version | 23:35 |
| Layne89 | gordon1234: Thanks, I'll try. Good luck! | 23:35 |
| NyLes | ActionParsnip i have 512RAM? | 23:35 |
| dat789 | well, cheese is not showing anything | 23:35 |
| adominguezc | MGE is now Schlinder | 23:35 |
| Dr_willis | NyLes, id suggest a gb+ or more... for such a low ram system. | 23:35 |
| dat789 | ActionParsnip: Cheese is not showing anything. no picture. | 23:35 |
| gamemakingdude | Hmm | 23:35 |
| gamemakingdude | Theres no vsftpd file | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis | NyLes, definatly look into expanding your ram more if you can find some cheap. | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | NyLes: then about 1200Mb will be enough (Double RAM plus a little bit) | 23:36 |
| ikonia | gamemakingdude: they you go then | 23:36 |
| ikonia | gamemakingdude: /etc/vsftpd is a directory not a file | 23:36 |
| rdz11 | ActionParsnip: thank you very much that worked perfectly fine!!!! :D | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: what is the identifying line in lsusb? | 23:36 |
| NyLes | Dr_willis, ActionParsnip, thanks for both of you ^^ | 23:36 |
| zykotick9 | NyLes: are you installing regular Ubuntu? that's only 1/2 the recommended RAM. | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | rdz11: I'm good with flash stuffs :) | 23:36 |
| gamemakingdude | Shouldn't it create one | 23:36 |
| gamemakingdude | ? | 23:36 |
| ikonia | gamemakingdude: it can't - that's the error, it wants to create one in /etc/vsftpd, but can't | 23:37 |
| dat789 | ActionParsnip: Bus 002 Device 010: ID 045e:075d Microsoft Corp. LifeCam Cinema | 23:37 |
| NyLes | zykotick9 yeah, im installing 10.04? should i install lubuntu instead? | 23:37 |
| ikonia | gamemakingdude: you have to work out why, probably permissions are wrong | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: and the output of: lsb_release -sc | 23:37 |
| gamemakingdude | I mean when i installed vsftpd shouldn't it had installed that directory? | 23:37 |
| zykotick9 | NyLes: with 10.04 it might be ok. | 23:37 |
| ikonia | gamemakingdude: what ??? | 23:37 |
| rdz11 | ActionParsnip: I see :D ... I had 3 days with this bug ... thank you again :D | 23:37 |
| ikonia | gamemakingdude: re-read the error, | 23:37 |
| dat789 | ActionParsnip: precise | 23:38 |
| NyLes | zykotick9 thanks for the info, im trying to install it now i hope it works fine.. | 23:38 |
| zykotick9 | NyLes: IF not, then try lubuntu | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: ask in #ubuntu+1 you are using pre-release which isn't supported here until it is released | 23:38 |
| dat789 | OerHeks: unplugged, and plugged back in. nothing happens in Cheese | 23:38 |
| dat789 | hmm... | 23:38 |
| dat789 | what do i ask there? | 23:39 |
| dat789 | same as i have here? | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: the same question, your release is offtopic here | 23:39 |
| NyLes | zykotick9: yes i would, reall need to familiarize myself with linux now.. | 23:39 |
| NyLes | what is the file system for ubuntu? sorry this is my first time.. | 23:40 |
| OerHeks | dat789, all i find is a bugreport for 11.10 as well https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/930671 | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 930671 in cheese (Ubuntu) "video blank and menus greyed out in cheese" [Undecided,New] | 23:40 |
| zykotick9 | NyLes: ext3 for lucid i believe | 23:40 |
| dat789 | OerHeks: I've also got guvcview installed | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | OerHeks: its precise so will be probably fraught with issues | 23:41 |
| dat789 | OerHeks: How do I use guvcview? | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: your release is offtopic here, please go to #ubuntu+1 | 23:42 |
| dat789 | OerHeks: the url you sent says guvcview works with LifeCam Cinema ... | 23:42 |
| NyLes | zykotick9: thanks again.. | 23:42 |
| dat789 | uhh... | 23:42 |
| dat789 | ok. but no response there :( | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: irrelevant | 23:43 |
| zykotick9 | dat789: you probably shouldn't be running +1 | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: the latest release supported here is Oneiric. | 23:43 |
| OerHeks | dat789, ubuntu+1 is the place to be. | 23:43 |
| gamemakingdude | Argh this FTP is annoying me! | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | dat789: I suggest you reinstall and use Oneiric | 23:44 |
| OerHeks | dat789, all i confirm is that the issue is noticed in 11.10 as well | 23:44 |
| zykotick9 | gamemakingdude: good time to see http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie then ;) | 23:45 |

| NyLes | im creating my swap partition now, file system is linux-swap right? then what about the create as? primary or logical? or extended? | 23:49 |
| zykotick9 | NyLes: you can have a maximum or 4 primary paritions, is that a factor? | 23:49 |
| dat789 | yup | 23:49 |
| dat789 | 12.04 apparently | 23:49 |
| zykotick9 | NyLes: yes, swap = linux-swap | 23:49 |
