| gordon1234 | t432, are you using the B43 driver? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| krambiorix | Dr_willis_, better rc.local than fstab? | 00:01 |
| t432 | gordon1234: im not sure...it came with ubuntu installation - worked automatically so I didnt need to play about with it. | 00:02 |
| gordon1234 | t432, if you click on the network connection and lock at connection information, it should tell you the driver | 00:02 |
| t432 | Thats the beauty of Ubuntu 11.10 :) | 00:03 |
| Dr_willis_ | krambiorix, fstab is designed for such tasks.. | 00:03 |
| vidphile | Hey all, I have two systems here. Both systems are running 11.10. One plays mts files in totem and in vlc the other only plays the audio while showing the pink screen. Anyone know whats installed on the first system that's allowing this to happen? | 00:03 |
| nyles | how can i blacklist a driver? by adding blacklist (driver) in the blacklist.conf right? | 00:03 |
| Dr_willis_ | !blacklist | 00:03 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 00:03 |
| nyles | Dr_willis_, thanks.. but how come it doesn't change anything? can you tell me what are the drivers for video card? im using nvidia graphics card.. | 00:04 |
| mbot_ | y | 00:05 |
| krambiorix | Dr_willis_, ok thx! | 00:05 |
| Dr_willis_ | nyles, no idea really - If its a 3 yr old laptop with a dual video setup. it must be some thing rather unique for the time. | 00:06 |
| === max is now known as Guest73637 | ||
| Dr_willis_ | nyles, you may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com for that exact laptop make/model. | 00:06 |
| nyles | Dr_willis_, would you believe that this PC is more than 10 years old? | 00:06 |
| t432 | gordon1234: lsusb out says [Broadcom 4320] | 00:06 |
| t432 | im assuming that is the driver | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis_ | nyles, time to save up your lunch money then. :) | 00:07 |
| Mathias56 | Anyone might know why blender keep crashing on my ubuntu server but not on windows? It only happens on scenes with heavy particle effects. | 00:07 |
| t432 | gordon1234: network connections gives me no driver info... whats the terminal command? | 00:07 |
| * Dr_willis_ waits for the Cherry Pi - Uber-mini-pc thing to start shipping. :) | 00:07 | |
| Mathias56 | Blender chat seems kind of dead | 00:07 |
| nyles | Dr_willis_, is there no other way than that? lol hahaha.. i want to use this even if this is too old.. | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis_: I'm up for a cotton candy :) | 00:08 |
| Dr_willis_ | nyles, no idea. with a 10 yr old laptop. you are lucky it even boots really... | 00:08 |
| gordon1234 | t432, ah. Its not active, so no driver is loaded yet. | 00:09 |
| EvilResistance | nyles, if the system is more than ten years old its graphics card is probably not supporting dual monitors. Either that, or there's no drivers that would do that because the card is likely far past its production end dates. | 00:09 |
| savid | How do I make it so that I can access the grub menu during startup? I need to revert to the previous kernel. | 00:09 |
| Mathias56 | have you guys ever seen what happens to old computers? They ship them to africa where they throw them in a big fire to melt the metals out :P | 00:09 |
| nyles | Dr_willis_, i can't seem to find the my_blacklist.conf that the both is pertaining to, am i the one to generate it? | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | savid: HOLD shift after BIOS | 00:10 |
| nyles | EvilResistance, im not trying to use dual monitors.. ^^ | 00:10 |
| savid | Zykotic, tried that, doesn't seem to work. | 00:10 |
| * EvilResistance misread then | 00:10 | |
| gordon1234 | t432, have to dash, but there are a few hits on google about 4320s and getting them to work. Good luck | 00:10 |
| nyles | EvilResistance, im just trying to solve the black screen.. | 00:10 |
| t432 | gordon1234: but im connected? | 00:10 |
| EvilResistance | nyles, it may still be the card. | 00:10 |

| t432 | ok | 00:11 |
| const_antine | Pidgin source has configure script that uses pkg-config to find if libglib is adequately recent. However, the install package for glib doesn't provide pkg-config with information about itself. What do? | 00:11 |
| savid | zykotick9, isn't there some way to make it so that grub always shows the menu with a delay? | 00:11 |
| Dr_willis_ | nyles, its saying to make one of some name you want. | 00:11 |
| pomke | Hello, I'm on natty on my laptop, the update manager cannot seem to find oneiric at all, its tracking normal releases, I've tried 3-4 different mirrors including the main server.. | 00:11 |
| gordon1234 | t432, right click on the wireless icon and select connection information | 00:11 |
| nyles | EvilResistance, i see, even if this works with windows xp, and puppy linux? | 00:12 |
| Dr_willis_ | edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf <------------------------ Pick a descriptive name | 00:12 |
| nyles | Dr_willis_, ohhh and it will be loaded automatically? | 00:12 |
| Dr_willis_ | nyles, thats how it works - I rarely have to mess with blackliusting | 00:12 |
| EvilResistance | nyles, it could indeed still be the card, but i'll let Dr_willis_ help you out here, i've got a phone call coming in | 00:12 |

| BrendanMcc | Dr_willis_: YES!! | 00:27 |
| BrendanMcc | ActionParsnip: I already asked in Vmware | 00:28 |

| dejahthoris | nyles: you could try looking in /var/log/xorg.0.log | 00:33 |
| BrendanMcc | rattatoue: is there a link explaining the procedure or would you mind helping me get it done? | 00:33 |
| rattatoue | nyles, or you could try lspci -v and then find your video card maybe | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | nyles: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver | 00:34 |
| rattatoue | BrendanMcc, it should just be under the settings for that VM. I think its settings then like on the right it says Network or hardware. | 00:34 |

| rattatoue | rhobday, Click the flag in the bottom left, then right click Computer. Go to Properties then Devices Manager in the far top left. Then when that comes up click the + next to Network Adapters I think and you should see your wireless there. | 01:03 |
| t432 | After installing the "b43-fwcutter" and "firmware-b43-installer" for the bcm43 driver - manuals syas the driver will be listed in "Additional Hardware Drivers" just checked it not there | 01:04 |
| rhobday | 802.11n | 01:04 |
| rhobday | wireless lan card | 01:04 |
| s7word | Do you Chinese people | 01:04 |
| rhobday | thanks rattatoue | 01:04 |
| rattatoue | rhobday, it doesnt say something like Netgear blah blah blah or Linksis blah blah blah. It should say something else then just 802.11n wireless land card | 01:04 |
| rattatoue | rhobday, and no problem, ive been in your place before lol | 01:05 |
| rhobday | i have the hamachi thing | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: thats every wireless card ever | 01:05 |

| ActionParsnip | !cn | s7word | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bah | 01:05 |
| tjiggi_fo | heh | 01:05 |
| rhobday | microsoft wirtual wifi miniport adapter | 01:05 |
| rhobday | realtek PCIe FE faily controller | 01:06 |
| rattatoue | rhobday, keep going, thats virtual and the hamachi is the vpn in windows. Any other wireless? | 01:06 |
| rhobday | that's all in the netword adapters | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: yep, windows doesn't tell you anything useful. Thats why you need the commands I gave earlier | 01:06 |
| rattatoue | rhobday, your going to have to do what Action told you. Most of the time windows says like Netgear N150 or whatever, but instead yours just says what channel it uses. | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: its rare for windows users to know or even care what wifi chip they are using | 01:07 |
| rhobday | i know the router | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: run the command I gave, copy the file and put it in a pastebin, we can then see the interfaces | 01:07 |
| rhobday | but idk the wifi card | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: the router is moot | 01:07 |
| rhobday | can you repaste the command | 01:07 |
| rattatoue | rhobday, <ActionParsnip> rhobday: if you run: lspci >~~/Desktop/output.txt; lsusb >> ~/Desktop/output.txt you can copy the file on your desktop to your NTFS partition | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: the router could be absolutely anything, it will abide by defacto standards so doesn't matter in any way | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: lspci > ~/Desktop/output.txt; lsusb >> ~/Desktop/output.txt | 01:09 |
| rhobday | do i run that alone | 01:09 |
| rhobday | or do i use the old command | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: ubuntu is smart and can write to NTFS, Windows is rubbish and cannot access Ext4 which ubuntu uses by default | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: yes, the command I gave, run it alone and it will make a file on your desktop | 01:10 |
| urfr332gO | ActionParsnip, tisk, now, now, lol.:) | 01:10 |
| rhobday | thank you, i will be back | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | the world would be a much happier place if windows could access ext4 easily. | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | but hey, its microsoft, so probably not | 01:10 |
| urfr332gO | ActionParsnip, and many other things yeah. :) | 01:10 |
| Lint | ActionParsnip, it would, if anyone would need it | 01:11 |
| rattatoue | One bad problem if Linux was used a lot more then Windows. Is more people would write viruses for Linux. | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Lint: helps for dual booters | 01:12 |
| urfr332gO | rattatoue, Lint no real cause and effect just fud. | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !av | rattatoue | 01:12 |
| ubottu | rattatoue: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rattatoue: there are some viruses for Linux, they are just in Labs | 01:13 |
| urfr332gO | rattatoue, just assumptions that show the lack of knowledge of open source which runs about half of the servers on the web, and Gogles search engines and many other areas. | 01:13 |
| Lint | these servers could run System V to the same effect | 01:14 |
| rattatoue | I am not assuming anything, I know there are linux viruses. Its simple math. The more people that use a OS and the more popular it is, the more people will write viruses for it. Ergo like Windows is most popular it has more viruses. Just as Linux is hackable so is WIndows Mac etc | 01:14 |
| mehwork | can't seem to connect to wifi, syslog is saying: wlan0 DHCP transaction took too long, stopping. Anyone know why? | 01:15 |
| urfr332gO | rattatoue, there are none on the web and your simple math. | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | rattatoue: its nothing do with popularity | 01:15 |
| Lint | urfr332gO, kernel.org | 01:15 |
| urfr332gO | rattatoue, a root kit is not a virus by the way. | 01:15 |
| rattatoue | Yes it does, why make a virus to infect us linux users. When make one for Windows and you infect a lot more people | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | rattatoue: https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8261-note-to-new-linux-users-no-antivirus-needed | 01:15 |
| rattatoue | Okay this talk is pointless, you all are not understanding what I am saying. So its pointless to have this convo lol | 01:16 |
| rattatoue | mehwork, are you trying to use dhcpcd to get the wireless working? | 01:16 |
| mehwork | rattatoue: i have no idea | 01:17 |
| mehwork | i'm just using wifi like i always do in ubuntu as far as i know | 01:17 |
| rattatoue | mehwork, how are you trying to get your wireless working? | 01:17 |
| urfr332gO | Lint, right but as far as I have read that breach was not released to the public and the mother kernels so to speak were securely store to be clean. | 01:17 |
| mehwork | i right click on the network icon in the panel and go into 'edit connections' (lucid lynx) | 01:17 |
| mehwork | rattatoue: ^ | 01:17 |
| urfr332gO | Lint, I'm not arguing that open source is not hackable but use some critical thinking and empirical data in your argument. | 01:18 |
| rattatoue | mehwork, are you sure your selecting your wireless network instead of another one? | 01:18 |
| rhobday | i think i messed up | 01:19 |
| rhobday | it said there is no such thing as output.txt | 01:19 |
| NyLes | rattatoue: can you analyze the xorg.conf i got from puppy linux? | 01:20 |
| mehwork | rattatoue: very sure | 01:20 |
| rattatoue | NyLes, sure, can you paste it on pastebin | 01:20 |
| mehwork | rattatoue: i even have another ubuntu computer connected to it and i'm seeing the connection settings are equal | 01:20 |
| NyLes | rattatoue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/850965/ | 01:21 |
| mehwork | rattatoue: only difference is the computer that's wifi isnt working is a desktop that has a wireless card/antennae but it worked a few months ago the last time i used it | 01:21 |
| rhobday | Action | 01:21 |
| rattatoue | NyLes, it is using the nv driver | 01:22 |
| NyLes | rattatoue: i just want to ask under section monitor, it is different with the one generated by nvidia-xconfig? | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: ? | 01:23 |
| rhobday | is there an easier way to talk to you | 01:23 |
| rattatoue | NyLes, it may be, idk how the nvidia-xconfig generates that part exactly vs the way puppylinux finds it | 01:23 |
| NyLes | rattatoue: the option with nvidia's xorg is DPMS | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: you can run gedit and just run: lspci;lsusb then copy the text manually if you want | 01:23 |
| rhobday | if i run that | 01:24 |
| rhobday | does it show like a list of 9 things | 01:24 |
| rattatoue | NyLes, sorry what? | 01:24 |
| rhobday | less or more | 01:24 |
| urfr332gO | !tab > rhobday | 01:24 |
| ubottu | rhobday, please see my private message | 01:24 |
| rattatoue | mehwork, it sounds like a driver issue. ActionParsnip might be able to help you with wireless driver problem. | 01:25 |
| NyLes | rattatoue: i mean the option under section monitor with the xorg.conf generated by nvidia is DPMS.. while in puppy it's Preffered? | 01:25 |
| rhobday | ActionParsnip do you want me to run that and tell you the output? | 01:26 |
| diverdude | how do i install tsclient on ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| erpo | Is there a way to install ubuntu on a PC with no graphics card? It does have an ethernet port and a CD drive. | 01:27 |
| rattatoue | NyLes, that might be your problem on Ubuntu. As someone mentioned before you could be going outside of your resolution. Where on puppy linux it sets your resolution to 1024x600 | 01:27 |
| robbie72 | hi everybody, should the linux-headers packages take an unusually long time to install ? | 01:27 |
| erpo | I don't mean "no monitor attached." I mean "no onboard video or video card installed." | 01:27 |
| NyLes | rattatoue: wanna see the one generated by nvidia? | 01:28 |
| robbie72 | i'm taking around 5 mins wait so far | 01:28 |
| rattatoue | NyLes, Sure. same on pastebin again | 01:28 |
| urfr332gO | robbie72, depends on your web speed mine load in less then a couple of minutes. | 01:28 |
| robbie72 | urfr332gO: web speed? the package has already downloaded, its the installation that seems to be taking ages | 01:28 |
| robbie72 | top shows dpkg doing a bit of work | 01:28 |
| robbie72 | and the hard drive light is going like crazy | 01:28 |
| urfr332gO | robbie72, also the mirror speed you can change mirrors. | 01:29 |
| robbie72 | its already downloaded | 01:29 |
| NyLes | rattatoue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/852103 | 01:29 |
| robbie72 | its the installation of the package thats unusually long | 01:29 |

| acidrain | ok i have a ubuntu hdd that i have put into a newly bought comp. i booted from the ubuntu disk, and now it wont connect to the internet. | 01:34 |
| acidrain | does anyone know what could be causing this problem? | 01:35 |
| acidrain | its a desktop, and its on a wire. connected straight to router | 01:35 |
| gener1c | if i have an rpm 64bit driver | 01:35 |
| gener1c | can i 100% make a deb out of it with alien? | 01:35 |
| robbie72 | urfr332gO: normal ubuntu installation from cd, dedicated hardware etc, no wubi, i had to google to know what it was. | 01:35 |
| urfr332gO | tim, chroot with a ubuntu cd past 9.10 the install, a cd=to the ubuntu release your running would be ideal. | 01:35 |
| urfr332gO | robbie72, where on that big of a HD? | 01:36 |
| acidrain | ive had this issue before. but i forgot how i fixed it | 01:36 |
| almoxarife | gener1c: yes you should be able to, the docs are a bit confusing for those who dont understand both rpm and deb though | 01:36 |
| rhobday | What will knowing which wifi card i have do anyways | 01:36 |
| tlm | urfr332gO: i actually only have one flash drive which has gentoo on it | 01:36 |
| gener1c | ok thanks almoxarife | 01:37 |
| rattatoue | acidrain, you could try sudo ifconfig eth0 down and then sudo ifconfig eth0 up in terminal. Sometimes that will reload the connection and pull an IP | 01:37 |
| acidrain | ive made it as far as ifconfig eth0 saying that i am connected. | 01:37 |
| acidrain | rattatoue: let me try this | 01:37 |
| nyles | !tab | rattatoue | 01:37 |
| ubottu | rattatoue: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 01:37 |
| urfr332gO | tim, that wont fix it download a ubuntu cd=to the install best tool you can have for that release. Also is this a standard dual boot or a wubi install? | 01:37 |
| acidrain | rattatoue: still not connecting | 01:38 |
| almoxarife | gener1c: 'checkinstall' is also an option if you have the 'source' | 01:38 |
| acidrain | last time, i did some type of manual routing, which i have tried this time to the best of my knowledge | 01:38 |
| rattatoue | acidrain, when you type ifconfig does it show an IP? | 01:38 |
| tlm | urfr332gO: any way i can do it manually? i don't have a cd drive and i don't think i can put something else on the flash drive when that's my only bootable system | 01:39 |
| robbie72 | urfr332gO: the partition the root is on is near the start of the hard drive | 01:39 |
| robbie72 | on the fast bit | 01:39 |
| acidrain | rattatoue: it will not show unless i manually set the DCHP reservation on the router for 192.168.1.107 and then set that ip as my box, but it still wont go online | 01:39 |
| rattatoue | acidrain, okay one sec | 01:39 |
| robbie72 | urfr332gO: i'm upgrading kernel and rebooting. | 01:39 |

| spartan2276 | Where is the hal directory in Ubuntu 11.10? | 01:40 |
| urfr332gO | tim, might you imagine that if there was another way I would have mentioned it or another on the channel would? | 01:40 |
| pnorman | spartan2276: I'm sorry Dave, I can't open the pod bay doors. | 01:41 |
| tlm | urfr332gO: how about if i installed a newer version of grub? | 01:41 |
| urfr332gO | tim, how are you going to do that? | 01:42 |
| tlm | urfr332gO: i appreciate your help, by the way | 01:42 |
| spartan2276 | pnorman, what? | 01:42 |
| pnorman | spartan2276: what's hal? | 01:43 |
| acidrain | rattatoue: it now shows inet addr: 192.168.1.107, but its not online, cannot connect to google.com | 01:43 |
| rhobday | sorry i timed out, but does that help? | 01:43 |
| urfr332gO | tim, to be honest a install of any distro without access to its live cd or discs is a mistake. | 01:43 |
| rattatoue | acidrain, okay try this in terminal. Ping 74.125.225.111. And see what it says. | 01:43 |
| rhobday | ActionParsnip are you there? | 01:44 |
| spartan2276 | pnorman, I'm trying to create a file in the hal directory but I guess this is old and does not apply to 11.10, so I'm trying to find out where I need to create this file sudo vi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | rhobday: aye | 01:44 |
| rhobday | it's brand is ralink | 01:44 |
| rhobday | if that helps | 01:44 |
| urfr332gO | tim, you only need a 1 gig partition to load the Ubuntu iso to boot to and fix your setup. | 01:44 |
| pnorman | spartan2276: try doing locate wizardpen | 01:44 |
| spartan2276 | pnorman, so that I can get my G-Pen F610 graphics tablet to work | 01:45 |
| acidrain | rattatoue: host unreachable | 01:45 |
| rattatoue | acidrain, okay | 01:45 |
| rattatoue | acidrain, when you type ifconfig you have a inet addr: right? | 01:45 |
| pnorman | spartan2276: oh, the file doesn't exist? look somewhere under /usr/share/hal/fdi I think | 01:45 |
| acidrain | rattatoue: just to be clear, the gateway is my routers ip right? | 01:45 |
| spartan2276 | pnorman, I'm using this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen. So I already built the driver and install it as well | 01:45 |
| rattatoue | acidrain, yes | 01:46 |

| rhobday | i have the driver | 02:24 |
| amt897 | done quite a bit of searching, feel like it might be related to unmoveable files on my ssd... but does that mean i should defragment? windows disk partition is only giving me 2ish gigs to shrink my volume by, even though i have 42 gb free | 02:24 |

| very_sad | tintoy: forgot honestly... ughhhhh trying to remember. | 02:57 |
| very_sad | sorry :< | 02:57 |
| tintoy | Please anyone help me. This is my case, I have setup qemu-kvm in ubuntu server, and I create guest os in 10.04 LTS, my question is this, "Why is it everytime I delete nic in quest os, and recreate it accumulate eth* and never getback to eth0?" | 02:57 |
| zhourui | help | 02:57 |
| amt897 | scientes: so i have a windows 7 installation on a 120 gib SSD drive, no problem. installed ubuntu on my slave internal drive, no problem. I want to move my ubuntu partition (or delete/reinstall) onto my solid state drive alongside my windows partition | 02:58 |
| ActionParsnip | amt897: could use dd or rsync | 02:58 |
| amt897 | however, I've tried partitioning in both gparted and windows disk manager to shrink my ntfs partition on the ssd (I have 42 gb free), and each time it doesn't let me shrink by any more than 2 gb. | 02:58 |
| scientes | well 1. you have to do this from a liveCD amt897 | 02:58 |
| amt897 | doing it from a usb stick ubuntu pendrive | 02:59 |
| scientes | then 2. resize windows partition, resize down linux partition, copy linux partition, resize linux partition to max size | 02:59 |
| scientes | also you should probably have a swap partition on the SSD | 02:59 |
| amt897 | actionparsnip: what are those? | 02:59 |
| scientes | then thats the end of gparted | 02:59 |
| amt897 | yeah, i have a 200 mb swap partition, sorry. | 02:59 |
| XuMuK | scientes: swap on ssd? too expensive I guess... | 03:00 |
| amt897 | right-- i try to use gparted. it only gives me 2 gb or so to shrink the partition by | 03:00 |
| very_sad | hrm tintoy, hold on | 03:00 |
| blud | Ben64: that made my tv flicker like crazy and be completely messed up :o | 03:00 |
| scientes | then you 3. mount the new linux root- mount /dev/sdgajgsea /mnt; cd /mnt; mount -t proc proc proc; mount --bind /dev dev; mount -t sysfs sysfs sys; chroot . /bin/su | 03:00 |
| XuMuK | only / and /boot should be placed on ssd, the rest is fine where it is | 03:01 |
| tintoy | very_sad: ok I'll wait for your answer. | 03:01 |
| amt897 | it works perfectly fine as-is. there's just something very elegant about having both of my OSes on the same drive | 03:01 |
| very_sad | tintoy: boot ubuntu then remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 03:01 |
| scientes | then you 4. sensible-editor /etc/fstab (use output of `blkid`); then update-grub; install-grub /dev/fhdjakgesabuiesa (without a number) | 03:01 |
| scientes | and then you are done amt897 | 03:01 |
| scientes | do you got all that | 03:02 |
| very_sad | then reboot and it will regenerate | 03:02 |
| scientes | ??? | 03:02 |
| raven20 | hey...does anybody know of any good music sites to get music for my computer..i have the latest version of ubuntu, just got everything all set up this morning...please help?! | 03:02 |
| amt897 | scientes: I do, however, I'm still stuck way back at step 2. I'm in a pendrive ubuntu environment, i run gparted. | 03:02 |
| ActionParsnip | amt897: data copying commands, look into both. i'd go for rsync if i had to use it. personally i'd just clean install | 03:02 |
| scientes | make sure your windows and linux partitions are unmounted | 03:02 |
| scientes | the other, less featurful partitionier is palimpsest amt897 | 03:03 |
| amt897 | nothing mounted at the moment, just the pen drive | 03:03 |
| === h4ckm3th32nd is now known as h4ckm3 | ||
| amt897 | gparted tells me, out of my 111.59 gib ntfs partition, that I can make a max size of 114271 mib shrink partition. and it won't actually let me click the resize/move button. | 03:03 |
| zowsz | ?? | 03:04 |
| acidrain_ | does anyone have any final suggestions for me before i give up on making ubuntu connect through ethernet? | 03:05 |
| XuMuK | ActionParsnip: dd isn't copying data but devices and bloks | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | XuMuK: it'll do it though. The files will get copied | 03:05 |
| amt897 | scientes: any experience with this phenomenon? literally the only operation gparted allows me to do is copy the partition or extend it by 1 mb. | 03:06 |
| raven20 | anybody know any good music sites?? | 03:06 |
| savid | Help! I've updated my input drivers (dkms) and now my keyboard won't work. I need to revert to the kernel that came with the livecd, but the dpkg script overwrote my initrd image. Is there a way to get back the initrd from my lived? | 03:06 |
| XuMuK | raven20: and what ind of relationship has your question with ubuntu? o?O | 03:07 |
| amt897 | i feel like i'm missing something obvious. could it be that since you don't defrag ssds that the immovable system files are scattered now, preventing a large partition resize? | 03:07 |
| b1ckh3art | hey anyone can help me i am trying to run compiz on xfce but it is running on gnome 3 also can anyone tell how to make compiz to startup exclusivily with xfce not with gnome3 | 03:08 |

| scientes | amt897, oh, its cause you did a unsafe shutdown from windows | 03:10 |
| very_sad | What is that? colors? | 03:10 |
| scientes | you have to boot windows, and then do a clean shutdown | 03:10 |
| scientes | the NTFS partition is market dirty | 03:10 |
| very_sad | Or unicode? | 03:10 |
| halt_ | cdpr anyone ? | 03:10 |

| Invader | oh shit | 03:11 |
| Invader | soryy | 03:11 |
| amt897 | scientes: I've tried multiple times just doing straight-up restarts from windows. I found this though: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation#Using_Shrink_Volume_on_Vista_and_Windows_7 | 03:11 |
| Invader | *sorry | 03:12 |
| blumonkey | how could i install unetbootin from 11.10 to ubuntu 10.04 | 03:12 |
| halt_ | cdpr -u server.conf how is this conf file look like | 03:12 |
| scientes | amt897, are you using a recent ubuntu for the flash drive? | 03:12 |
| blumonkey | i think i need the newer version of unetbootin | 03:12 |
| amt897 | 11.10 | 03:12 |
| amt897 | recent enough I'd think | 03:12 |
| urfr332gO | blumonkey, unetbootin I think is in the repos. | 03:12 |
| scientes | blumonkey, you should always use the most recent version | 03:12 |
| scientes | blumonkey, but yeah that is a way to do an upgrade | 03:13 |
| urfr332gO | blumonkey, sudo apt-get install unetbootin in a terminal. | 03:13 |
| blumonkey | yes but the software package i dont think contains the latest version | 03:13 |
| blumonkey | because linuxcoin is not in the drop down of unetbootin | 03:13 |
| XuMuK | blumonkey: You can't... or install what it offers from repos or get it from svn/bzr or compile it youself | 03:13 |
| urfr332gO | blumonkey, down load it from them directly if that is true. | 03:13 |
| amt897 | scientes: the guide advises defragging the disk. it is, however, a ssd. is it worth defragging, even though it'd decrease the lifetime? | 03:14 |
| rumpe1 | amt897, don't defrag ssds! | 03:15 |
| OffGridOps | 11.10: is there a way to install a different version and save my data on the harddrive (pix, docs, etc) or do i need to dump them on a stick? thanx | 03:15 |
| scientes | gparted doesn't need a defraged volume in current versions, it knows how to relocate stuff | 03:15 |
| savid | Does anyone know how to restore a kernel from the lived? My kbd o | 03:15 |
| scientes | so thats not the problem | 03:15 |
| urfr332gO | blumonkey, it is not in my version in oneiric, you can download their iso though and use unetbootin to load a usb. | 03:15 |
| savid | Fffffuuuuuuu | 03:15 |
| scientes | savid, what are your symptoms | 03:15 |
| scientes | savid, its probably grub that you need to reinstall | 03:15 |
| rumpe1 | amt897, SSDs automatically use fragmentation a lot, but that's not an issue. They don't have to swing around mechanical elements. | 03:16 |
| XuMuK | OffGridOps: yes, if you have /home in separate partition | 03:16 |
| scientes | amt897, defraging a SSD is idiotic, as they use a FTL inside them | 03:16 |
| scientes | so they are already fragmented | 03:16 |
| savid | scientes, I updated my kbd drivers using a dkms deb pkg and kbd no longer works | 03:16 |
| scientes | kbd, as in Keyboard? | 03:17 |
| OffGridOps | XuMuK, i'm not sure if i do. i installed 11.10 and just started using it---nothing special on the orig install | 03:17 |
| amt897 | scientes: okay, cool. the other advice they give is... close all programs in memory (shouldn't be an issue in pendrive ubuntu), run windows disk cleanup, and "Disable pagefile, kernel memory dump, system restore and hibernation" | 03:17 |
| savid | scientes, I need to restore the initrd that was installed by the original lived | 03:17 |
| scientes | well hibernate and swap files is still an issue amt897 | 03:17 |
| XuMuK | savid: type this ls /boot/ -lat and look if there are more than one images left | 03:17 |
| urfr332gO | scientes, gparted will not move the unmovable paging files in a windows setup correctly, generally causes breakage. | 03:17 |
| scientes | but that really shouldn't mattter when you have 120 GB amgarching | 03:17 |
| scientes | *amt | 03:17 |
| rumpe1 | amt897, it's much more important to not use their full capacity. Otherwise it will reduce it's lifetime. Read some tutorials about SSDs. | 03:17 |
| XuMuK | savid: upside go the newer ones | 03:17 |
| EvilResistance | /nickinfo PennBot | 03:18 |
| EvilResistance | oops | 03:18 |
| EvilResistance | sorry | 03:18 |
| savid | XuMuk, huh? | 03:18 |
| amt897 | rumpel: right, I know. basically, my issue is that even though 42 of 111 gb are free, gparted and/or windows are not letting me shrink my partition down | 03:18 |
| scientes | savid, oh, just chroot and then use dkms, man dkms | 03:18 |
| XuMuK | savid: ls /boot/ -lat what does it show? | 03:18 |
| amt897 | scientes: exactly, with 42 gb free, it shouldn't be an issue... | 03:18 |
| urfr332gO | amt897, what version of Windows? | 03:18 |
| scientes | amt897, holy bejeebus, how did you use up 80 GB of a SSD? | 03:19 |
| amt897 | windows 7, 64 bit | 03:19 |
| scientes | I guess its windows........ | 03:19 |
| amt897 | ^ | 03:19 |
| savid | scientes, use dkms to do what? | 03:19 |
| urfr332gO | amt897, W7 has a virtual partitioner use it. | 03:19 |
| rumpe1 | amt897, can you describe your partition layout a bit more detailed? | 03:19 |
| scientes | savid, remove the modules you added--you can't just restore an old initrd as there is a differn't one for each minor kernel version | 03:19 |
| scientes | because they contain modules | 03:19 |
| Gracenotes | hi... got some recording troubles. I'm on a Thinkpad T420, with single duplex input/output 1/8" audio jack. How can I configure the sound preferences so Audacity records with that rather than the built-in mic? | 03:20 |
| amt897 | okay, so my ssd is a 120 GiB Intel drive. 200 MB partition for system, the C: partition is 111.59 GB; 42ish gb free. | 03:20 |
| amt897 | I would like to shrink that free space by 20 GB or so and install Ubuntu there. | 03:20 |
| scientes | geeze, though why does windows need so much damn expensive space | 03:20 |
| rumpe1 | amt897, you want to shrink free space? .. .That doesn't make any sense. | 03:21 |
| helpmeASAP | How much memory do I need to make a virtual machine with a lubuntu host? | 03:21 |
| XuMuK | scientes: he could point grub to older ones | 03:21 |
| blumonkey | i downloaded unetbootin-linux-565 from sourceforge but it says i need to open with an application, send to: where would i send this | 03:21 |
| urfr332gO | amt897, use the W7 Disk manager I believe it is called, run from admin. | 03:21 |
| scientes | XuMuK, does dkms only rebuild current versions? | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: what OS is the guest? | 03:21 |
| rumpe1 | amt897, ah, i get it. You want to shrink C: (?) | 03:21 |
| scientes | blumonkey, sudo apt-get install unetbootin | 03:21 |
| OffGridOps | XuMuK, found the info thanx | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: or do you mean how much ram should you assign to the guest? | 03:21 |
| amt897 | yessir, rumpel | 03:21 |
| scientes | blumonkey, also, unetbootin on linux isn't the best supported software, what are you trying to do? | 03:22 |
| helpmeASAP | ActionParnip: any guest capable of using OpenVPN I hope. and safe. must be Linux | 03:22 |
| XuMuK | scientes: I think it creates new image and initrd | 03:22 |
| amt897 | urfr332g0: i'll open it up now | 03:22 |
| scientes | XuMuK, uhhhhh, it obviously doesn't create a new image, as that would be a kernel compile--doesn't dound like you... | 03:22 |
| savid | scientes, I see. I'll try that. Thanks. | 03:22 |
| helpmeASAP | ActionParsnip: No, I mean how many RAM should my computer have to have a virtual machine run smoothly. Host lubuntu | 03:22 |
| scientes | the question is whether is only changes the current initrd, or old ones | 03:22 |
| scientes | as well | 03:22 |
| urfr332gO | amt897, that is the best way to go, your set up may not mess with the paging files but using the onboard is safer. | 03:23 |
| urfr332gO | setup=what you want to do. | 03:23 |
| rumpe1 | amt897, you should be able to shrink the windows-partition if windows isn't still in some kind of hibernation mode. You can't use windows because it can't shrink a partition it is running from. | 03:23 |
| amt897 | urfr332g0: the windows disk manager only lets me shrink my C: partition by 539 mb now (varies depending upon what's chilling in memory) | 03:24 |
| urfr332gO | rumpe1, not true windows 7 can resize a running setup. | 03:24 |
| blumonkey | scientes_ when im not using my computer i wanted to boot from usb into linuxcoin to mine bitcoins for fun | 03:24 |
| thevaliantx | what can i do to make my wireless internet to work again? i looked at "Additional Drivers" and it says that the Broadcom STA driver is activated but not currently in use. | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: so the host is lubuntu and the guest is lubuntu? Is that correct? | 03:24 |
| rumpe1 | urfr332gO, virtual partitions? ... Doesn't like a good idea to me. (imho) | 03:24 |
| amt897 | rumpe1: I also tried by rebooting from windows and booting into a live CD without mounting any other partitions. gparted had a similar problem to disk manager now. | 03:24 |
| helpmeASAP | ActionParsnip: Yes I suppose | 03:25 |
| urfr332gO | amt897, probaly due to where stuff is on the ssd especially the paging file, if you brute force it with gparted you will likely break it, do a backup image first. | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: lubuntu's minimal ram is 256Mb, so 512Mb as a BARE minimum. I'd go for at least 1Gb to be safe | 03:25 |
| urfr332gO | rumpe1, Because you are not familiar with it. | 03:25 |
| urfr332gO | probably* | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: personally I try and max out the RAM in a PC. RAM is stupidly cheap | 03:26 |
| helpmeASAP | ActionParsnip: but what about CPU? duo core 1.8Hz is capale? | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: will be ok | 03:26 |
| nimbiotics | what program can I use to record my screen, microphone & speakers? | 03:26 |
| amt897 | O | 03:26 |
| amt897 | I'm starting to get the feeling this isn't worth doing | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: lubuntu is super light so you can get away with less :) | 03:26 |
| helpmeASAP | ActionParsnip: OK thanks! | 03:27 |
| savid | scientes, OK I removed hid-apple and bcm5973, now my kb and my mouse won't work. | 03:27 |
| urfr332gO | rumpe1, your more likely to break a windows setup if you move the unmovable paging and other stuff, that is why it is advised to do a defragg of evrything to the front and not move the partition with data in that area. | 03:27 |
| XuMuK | nimbiotics: recordmydesktop-gtk && cheese | 03:27 |
| helpmeASAP | Anyone here know how to lock screen on OS lubuntu? I know Ubuntu have that option but what about lubuntu? | 03:28 |
| nimbiotics | XuMuK: and how do i mix audio from speakers & mic? | 03:28 |
| urfr332gO | rumpe1, the shrink of a area holding data in general especially imovable data like the paging. | 03:28 |
| Firebolt | helpmeASAP, ctrl+alt+l might work? | 03:28 |
| nicknefarious | Hi all - I have a couple of questions regarding network manager and configs. | 03:28 |
| helpmeASAP | Firebolt: Nope, tried that many times already | 03:28 |
| adhikari | how do i install phigs, gtk or phigs++ library in ubuntu | 03:29 |
| urfr332gO | helpmeASAP, Isn't there a lock icon on the bottom panel? | 03:29 |
| XuMuK | nimbiotics: no idea... I know that cheese grabs video&audio | 03:29 |
| savid | UGH I just need to get my old kernel back | 03:29 |
| XuMuK | but how to mix them - don't know | 03:29 |
| psusi | adhikari, the same way you install anything.. software center, synaptic, apt-get, etc... | 03:29 |
| helpmeASAP | urfr332gO: none! none lock options below for lubuntu | 03:29 |
| nimbiotics | XuMuK: problem is noen of them lets me mix spkrs & mic | 03:29 |
| nicknefarious | When I open a terminal and ping www.google.com the action it perfroms is PING www.l.google.com - is this a DNS problem? | 03:30 |
| savid | scientes, is there no way to get to the original initrd from within the lived? | 03:30 |
| adhikari | but i don't know the code to install it. psusi | 03:30 |
| psusi | nicknefarious, it isn't a problem | 03:30 |
| amt897 | scientes, rumpe1, urfr332g0: thanks for your help. I'm gonna table this for now, maybe come back to it this weekend. | 03:30 |
| nicknefarious | Why does it do it? | 03:30 |
| scientes | savid, just boot from an earlier kernel | 03:30 |
| helpmeASAP | Anyone know if best virtual machine? VMWare or VirtualBox or is there better?????? | 03:30 |
| psusi | adhikari, open synaptic, find package, click install? | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: there is no best, or better | 03:31 |
| savid | scientes, I wish it were that easy. The dkms pkg over wrote the kernel. It makes | 03:31 |
| XuMuK | helpmeASAP: yes, kvm, but it's not so easu to setup | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: if one was outright best, the other would not get used | 03:31 |
| psusi | helpmeASAP, I just use qemu-kvm and lately have been experimenting with xen | 03:31 |
| urfr332gO | helpmeASAP, if you google the screen lock there is lots of info. :) | 03:32 |
| scientes | savid, it overwrote the initrd, you could chroot into the target system, and then remove the dkms package, which will remove the modules and rebuild the initrd | 03:32 |
| helpmeASAP | how to install kvm?!! that the Linux version right? | 03:32 |
| adhikari | psusi but there is no package containing phigs | 03:32 |
| scientes | you can't manually change modules cause it doesn't rebuild the initrd, which is where the problem is happening | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !kvm | helpmeASAP | 03:32 |
| ubottu | helpmeASAP: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 03:32 |
| halt_ | did anyone used the cdpr package ? | 03:32 |
| truexfan81 | is there anyway to get the xfdesktop 4.8 package on lucid? i upgraded to xfce 4.8 but that one package seems to be unavailable. without it have no xfce menu | 03:32 |
| adhikari | i am talking about this library | 03:32 |
| scientes | helpmeASAP, use virt-manager | 03:32 |
| sacarlson | nicknefarious: it's google redirection, they sense your location and provide an address depending on where they see you are located | 03:32 |
| savid | scientes, you mean remove dkms via apt-get? | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | truexfan81: there may be a ppa | 03:32 |
| scientes | savid, while in a chroot of the target system | 03:32 |
| scientes | !chroot | 03:32 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 03:32 |
| nicknefarious | psusi Can you explain why it does it? | 03:32 |
| urfr332gO | helpmeASAP, your just asking random questions look at the channel and freenode policy they ask you to do some of this yourself via the web. :) | 03:33 |
| truexfan81 | i've been googling for one, so far i haven't found it, thats why i'm on here asking | 03:33 |
| psusi | adhikari, then you'll have to google for a ppa or get the source and build it yourself | 03:33 |
| psusi | nicknefarious, because google has many servers | 03:33 |
| savid | scientes, remove and reinstall, or just remove? | 03:34 |
| nicknefarious | psusi sure so this isn't an example of DNS poisoning (I am in China) | 03:34 |
| sacarlson | nicknefarious: you can use dig google.com to get more details on there dns configs | 03:34 |
| psusi | nicknefarious, they use dns CNAME records for www to alias it to many different servers | 03:34 |
| scientes | savid, unless you need dkms for something, like propritary drivers, just remove | 03:34 |
| savid | Ok | 03:34 |
| scientes | its mainly nvidia, fglrx, and broadcom wireless AFAIK | 03:34 |
| halt_ | cdpr cdpr cdpr cdpr cdpr comeon someone... | 03:35 |
| scientes | FOSS drivers get merged into the kernel | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | scientes: some other drivers use it, but its the same ilk as broadcom nvidia etc | 03:35 |

| XuMuK | nicknefarious: and I get mad01s03-in-f10.1e100.net (Spain), but they are all google servers | 03:37 |
| psusi | nicknefarious, it either comes from you putting it there, or was automatically configured via DHCP... it is the address of a DNS server to use | 03:37 |

| urfr332gO | acidrain__, you might try the ##windows channel for finding the card when using W7. | 03:46 |
| scut | ubuntu 11.10 still has no decent fallback to classical gnome? | 03:46 |
| savid | scientes, is there a way to manually rebuild initrd? | 03:46 |
| miaoge | yes | 03:46 |
| bazhang | !notunity | scut | 03:46 |
| ubottu | scut: 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 | 03:46 |
| Firebolt | bazhang, ubuntu has no netinst availible like debian? | 03:47 |
| urfr332gO | scut, no only the fallback gnome 2 sort of like. | 03:47 |
| scientes | Firebolt, it does | 03:47 |
| primenumber | @search downton abbey | 03:47 |
| scientes | !d-i | 03:47 |

| bazhang | Firebolt, the mini installer? | 03:47 |
| scut | bazhang, its still ugly and works like a disaster with compiz | 03:48 |
| primenumber | I just installed Cinnamon - it's great! Stable and like Gnome 2 with some nice Gnome 3 eye candy. | 03:48 |
| thevaliantx | ubuntu 11.10 is ugly, sorry to say. i wonder what the next installment will look like. it 'seems' that years ago there was more innovation amongst the various distros, window managers 'seemed' to look nicer than they do now. now everything seems very similar across the board, it's getting stagnant. | 03:48 |
| bazhang | thevaliantx, thats not a support question | 03:49 |
| savid | scientes, is it update-initramfs? | 03:49 |
| CarlFK | "To get started with Google+ Hangouts, first install the Google Voice and Video Plugin" is there a PPA or something packagy? | 03:49 |
| bazhang | CarlFK, launchpad has a search ppa page | 03:49 |
| CarlFK | bazhang: I have heard of that... URL? | 03:50 |
| sephthir | Does anyone know how I might get ahold of someone involved in the #ubuntu-iso channel, since it appears that no one is ever in it? I believe it is the place I would need to ask my question. | 03:50 |
| scut | thevaliantx, maybe unity would be a good thing if you could move that shit unity panel from left side | 03:50 |
| urfr332gO | thevaliantx, your about the millionth person to address it is off topi. | 03:50 |
| halt_ | can someone figure out how to use this /usr/share/doc/cdpr/README.cdprs | 03:50 |
| Firebolt | scientes, any links to the netinst installs then? | 03:50 |
| bazhang | scut, no cursing here | 03:50 |
| scientes | savid, that sounds good | 03:50 |
| Firebolt | I need it for a server version | 03:50 |
| thevaliantx | bazhang sure it's not, but it's a valid concern, and i dare to say that most of the comments in here are either support questions that never get answered, rude comments or just general opinions such as mine ;) | 03:50 |
| scientes | Firebolt, I don't think there is an iso for it, you have to use the initrd + uImage netboot images, or the ubuntu-core builds | 03:50 |
| Firebolt | awww, I guess I'll need to find my blank CDs then | 03:51 |
| bazhang | thevaliantx, no, this channel is not for that, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:51 |
| thevaliantx | scut i agree, we'll see how long it lasts. | 03:51 |
| psusi | Firebolt, netinst is netinst... there aren't different versions for server or desktop | 03:51 |
| halt_ | how offen can i ask the same ? | 03:52 |
| urfr332gO | scut, the panel can be moved to the bottom there is info on the web. | 03:52 |
| scientes | yuck, I use debian for servers | 03:52 |
| scut | urfr332gO, and it crashes like 20 times per 1 hours on 64 bit platform | 03:52 |
| scientes | scut, what does? | 03:52 |
| psusi | Firebolt, server vs desktop makes no sense for netinst | 03:53 |
| urfr332gO | halt_, your question is not within the channels support. :) | 03:53 |
| urfr332gO | scut, have you tweaked compiz? | 03:53 |
| Firebolt | scientes, I prefer debian, but this is for a friend -- he's asked me to prepare a server for him | 03:53 |
| scut | scientes, moved to another side unity panel on 64 bit platform | 03:53 |
| Firebolt | psusi, no matter than | 03:53 |
| Firebolt | *then | 03:53 |
| thevaliantx | how can i get ALL of the related wireless drivers off my system? i am trying to use Ubuntu Software Centre to do the task but it's aborting. | 03:53 |
| scientes | scut, well thats unity for ya (just my opinion) | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | scut: there is a PPA to move it to the bottom, there is a ppa for it | 03:54 |

| savid | oh, holy crap. I just realized I'm running natty. I thought I installed oneiric. GDI. | 04:15 |
| LordDragon | well i did "sudo apt-get install telnetd" | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | savid: that'll be why | 04:15 |
| LordDragon | yet i cant seem to launch the telnet server | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | LordDragon: it runs as a service at startup, you can stop it with: sudo service telnetd stop | 04:16 |
| delinquentme | ActionParsnip, <3 | 04:16 |
| savid | well, frack. | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | LordDragon: I suggest you use openssh-server instead of telnet, telnet is not secure at all | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | delinquentme: also xvidwincap if memory serves | 04:17 |
| LordDragon | i realize telnet isnt as secure. but its a necessity for my particular needs | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | LordDragon: I see | 04:17 |
| Zimm3r | ActionParsnip: Thank You! :-) | 04:17 |
| LordDragon | ActionParsnip: i get this error "telnetd: unrecongized service" | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | LordDragon: use tab to complete the service name | 04:18 |
| delinquentme | ActionParsnip, recording takes quite a bit of processing huh? | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | LordDragon: sudo service t then press TAB a few times, see what comes up | 04:18 |
| LordDragon | ActionParsnip: nothing comes up at all | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | delinquentme: depends on how much area you record. a square of 20 pixels will be less CPU intensive than a full screen capture | 04:18 |

| acidrain | ok can anyone tell me why my ubuntu installation gets aborted in the odd way that the screen gets turned off while it is loading the format disk? | 04:41 |
| malkauns | malkauns, on mine, vlc says audio output failed... | 04:41 |
| malkauns | ... the device "default" could not be used | 04:41 |
| malkauns | device busy... etc. | 04:41 |
| acidrain | it appears that my computer is still trying to load the format disk, but for some reason the screen has went off | 04:41 |
| acidrain | and wont come back on | 04:41 |
| Socket-_ | How do you remove a service from auto starting? | 04:41 |
| sacarlson | malkauns: you can also use the mpris api to control VLC and other media players to minimize bandwidth on the network when controling them | 04:42 |
| designdream | malkauns: i think in command line vlc you need to specifiy the -waveout-audio-device={wavemapper} etc | 04:42 |
| sacarlson | malkauns: oh and VLC also has a web interface so you can use that method of control also | 04:43 |
| malkauns | hmm but u guys say it should play remotely by default | 04:43 |
| sacarlson | malkauns: yes that what it did in the past, did something change? | 04:44 |
| malkauns | no idea | 04:44 |
| sacarlson | malkauns: VLC has like 6 different methods of control, just pick one that works for you | 04:45 |
| urfr332gO | Socket-_, what is the service? | 04:46 |
| malkauns | ah i found the problem | 04:46 |
| acidrain | ok can anyone tell me why my ubuntu installation gets aborted in the odd way that the screen gets turned off while it is loading the format disk? | 04:46 |
| malkauns | it was because i had a session open using NX server | 04:46 |
| sacarlson | malkauns: loging into yourself I assume? | 04:47 |
| malkauns | no | 04:47 |
| malkauns | once i terminated that session it started working | 04:47 |
| urfr332gO | acidrain, maybe a driver issue use the alternative cd for install. | 04:47 |

| ubottu | urfr332gO: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:47 |
| easypie | where is python install on ubuntu? where the site-packages live. | 04:48 |
| urfr332gO | !nomodeset | acidrain a method with the live cd | 04:48 |
| ubottu | acidrain a method with the live cd: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 04:48 |

| ActionParsnip | acidrain: what is the chip? | 05:14 |
| ndkelly | acidrain, Why do you not just use the 32bit version? | 05:14 |
| chelz | very_sad: it'll use the android kernel. so it's as integrated as you can get | 05:14 |

| Canadian1296 | acidrain: And what exactly is the problem you're having? | 05:14 |

| acidrain | ndkelly: i tried 32bit, same problem. the ubuntu installed wont connect either | 05:15 |
| acidrain | Canadian1296: the problem is, eth0 is detected, but it wont connect | 05:16 |
| ndkelly | acidrain, Why not try installing first, then updating drivers and such to get your network running? Instead of using the livecd. | 05:16 |
| very_sad | So it's fully integrated into android as a subsystem? | 05:16 |
| acidrain | and eth0 is wired | 05:16 |
| very_sad | like then is it going to be sysvinit? | 05:16 |
| very_sad | instead of the barebones init that android uses | 05:16 |
| Canadian1296 | acidrain: Is eth0 working on the installed version? Or faulty on both installed and live? | 05:16 |

| acidrain | ActionParsnip: damn it, now i cant boot from my other hdd. and its not listed in the boot options. it wont load my options of which device to boot from | 05:25 |
| scut | rohit_, or use ntfs-3g to mount ntfs partition under linux | 05:25 |
| rohit_ | with fs-driver i can easily read linux formats and just drag and drop all the info over? | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | acidrain: lose the option then ust use the blacklist :) | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rohit_: not Ext4 | 05:26 |
| scut | rohit_, yes, dunno with the performance and not ext5 | 05:26 |
| acidrain | ActionParsnip: what do you mean? i cant even access my other hdd now... | 05:26 |
| rohit_ | I se | 05:26 |
| scut | ext4* | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rohit_: Ubuntu can read and write NTFS though | 05:26 |
| rohit_ | Oh alright | 05:26 |
| rohit_ | i'll try to find an external hard drive from a friend | 05:26 |
| rohit_ | another quesiton | 05:26 |
| rohit_ | will Linux ever have a port for Labview or Autodesk? | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | acidrain: change it in root recovery mode (hold shift at boot), or you can do it in liveCD | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | rohit_: you'd have to ask the developers | 05:27 |
| acidrain | ok i got it. seems times have changed since i last touched a comp. lol | 05:27 |
| Jordan_U | rohit_: The developers of Labview and Autodesk that is. | 05:27 |
| rohit_ | alright | 05:27 |

| MisakaImotuo | Hi. I can't seem to get things like gedit, empathy, evince, etc. to have my GTK themes applied on Ubuntu | 05:30 |
| MisakaImotuo | I've tried Ubuntu 11.10 and Lubuntu 11.10 so far | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | incognegro: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.10/?q=playstation | 05:30 |
| MisakaImotuo | They work when I use unity or lxde | 05:30 |
| MisakaImotuo | But I want to use Openbox with tint2 | 05:30 |
| === macmartine_ is now known as macmartine | ||
| acidrain | ActionParsnip: so what do you suggest now? | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | incognegro: you will need to add the playdeb repo (using the deb from the site). You will also need to dextract the ROMs from YOUR playstation to use it | 05:31 |
| MisakaImotuo | I have no idea why the themes stop applying to certain applications only when I'm running outside a DE | 05:31 |
| incognegro | Ohhhh boy | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | acidrain: not sure, i'd have a search for guides and such based on the chip name | 05:31 |
| incognegro | That's something | 05:31 |
| acidrain | ActionParsnip: do you suggest i take this computer back? and buy another one? | 05:33 |
| MisakaImotuo | Also I'm launching both openbox and lxde via GDM, so that rules that out | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | acidrain: for an ethernet controller, hardly | 05:33 |
| acidrain | well it kinda seems like the thing to do... i mean this box is useless to me if it wont go online | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | acidrain: you can get a PCI ethernet adapter for the price of a pack of smokes... | 05:34 |
| acidrain | a pci ethernet adapater you say... | 05:34 |
| acidrain | i think i have 1 of those laying around. it should work? | 05:34 |
| MisakaImotuo | I should also note that applications like thunar, chromium (for it's GTK bits), lxappearance, etc. all work fine with my GTK theme | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | acidrain: depends on the chip, worth a try | 05:34 |
| acidrain | looks like this mobo doesnt have a pci slow | 05:35 |
| acidrain | :/ | 05:35 |
| MisakaImotuo | I'm also using the Lubuntu-Default theme, so it can't be GTK3 issues | 05:35 |

| aruncn1 | helpmeASAP: Shoot your question directly | 05:44 |
| helpmeASAP | I really can't get this VM to work, it can only run in LiveCD | 05:44 |
| helpmeASAP | When running in LiveCD, no update and installing software right? | 05:45 |
| helpmeASAP | ubi-prepare failed with exit code -9 | 05:46 |
| helpmeASAP | when trying to install to disk | 05:46 |
| helpmeASAP | told you I'm invisible | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: you can update software and install all you want | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: you are simply limited by RAM, the changes simply will not stick if you reboot | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: try a little patience | 05:48 |
| helpmeASAP | I'm limited by RAM in guest or host machine? I have 1 GB RAM and set 300MB to guest machine | 05:49 |
| aruncn1 | helpmeASAP: If you have a usb stick, you can make persistent storage too | 05:49 |
| dipix | helpmeASAP: aren't you trying to install it on vmware workstation? | 05:49 |

| ndkelly | Hey toratek_net | 05:50 |
| helpmeASAP | 3 names here, giving conflicting answers. dunno which to believe.... | 05:50 |
| toratek_net | just wanted to let everyone know that if you are looking for a VPS provider that loves ubuntu, please check out http://toratek.net/vps-servers/ | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: why not try it yourself and see. it doesn't change the installed OS so you have nothing to lose... | 05:51 |
| aruncn1 | helpmeASAP: And once you prepare persistent usb stick, you can boot the system with it and use it in routine way. tool is included in Ubuntu. Have a try | 05:51 |
| liberal | i wonder if having a name like helpmeASAP gets you help ASAP. | 05:51 |
| helpmeASAP | ActionParsnip: that's not what people in other channel told me | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: this is ubuntu support, I think we'll know a little better | 05:51 |
| helpmeASAP | but some people in here told me differently yesterday | 05:52 |
| helpmeASAP | like... | 05:52 |
| cfhowlett | helpmeASAP as always YMMV | 05:52 |
| Jordan_U | toratek_net: Please don't advertise any services in #ubuntu, even if they are Ubuntu related. | 05:52 |
| helpmeASAP | differently | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: look, boot to the live CD and uninstall some apps, it will work | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: if you reboot however, the application will be right back | 05:52 |
| helpmeASAP | can I update and use software I install? | 05:53 |
| toratek_net | Jordan_U worked hard to create this thing, it's really nice:) sorry to have upset you | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: personally I always advise people update ubiquity and gparted in liveCD so that the installer and partitioner are the latest versins | 05:53 |
| helpmeASAP | I'm going you all are confusing me | 05:53 |
| helpmeASAP | Especially when I have Down Syndrome | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: yes you can upgrade the software but your apt cache will be in your RAM as well so will take up space, you may run out if you don't have much | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: how can we tell that in a text based interface?? | 05:54 |
| helpmeASAP | can we connect to this server securely using SSL? | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | helpmeASAP: to what server? | 05:55 |
| helpmeASAP | this one | 05:55 |
| bazhang | helpmeASAP, try #freenode | 05:55 |
| pangolin | helpmeASAP: yes, see #freenode for info | 05:55 |
| helpmeASAP | I connected to irc.ubuntu.com server | 05:56 |
| bazhang | helpmeASAP, yes, that is freenode | 05:56 |

| wiky | how to install gnome3 in ubuntu11.10 | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | wiky: its already installed | 06:04 |
| bazhang | wiky, gnome-shell ? | 06:04 |
| XuMuK | wiky: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 06:04 |
| pangolin | !notunity | wiky | 06:04 |
| ubottu | wiky: 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 | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | wiky: if you are using Unity, it is a shell for Gnome 3 | 06:04 |
| wiky | ok i think i know ,thanks | 06:04 |

| acidrain | ActionParsnip: this computer officially does NOT have a pci slot. now what should i do? | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | acidrain: search for guides is all I can suggest, or usb. If it is a desktop PC, the PCI slots will be inside the system | 06:07 |
| acidrain | ActionParsnip: i have a ethernet pci, and it is far from fitting the inside of this box. so i know for a fact its not a pci slot | 06:07 |
| zormit | ActionParsnip: sorry I dont get it. I used gnome-open (with gnome2) to open files from terminal... now I search for an alternative to avoid installing libgnome2 | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | acidrain: gah, then find guides for the chip, or you could grab a usb thing | 06:09 |

| hex20dec | Hey everyone, I'm trying to search through all the files in my server for a certain string and I tackle this error message every time I do it. Some results show, and then the error comes and it stops searching. This is the error: "grep: dev/log: No such device or address" and every time it's in a different location. | 06:26 |
| ActionParsnip | mehdi: does it happen as a new user? | 06:26 |
| mehdi | ActionParsnip, wat do u mean ? i install it recently and done all th updates and install nvidia too | 06:27 |
| acidrain | ActionParsnip: i followed the instructions at that link, but it didnt seem to fix anything at all. now the ethernet is not showing up at all. what to do about this? | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | hex20dec: You need to somehow exclude /dev/ from your search. | 06:28 |
| ActionParsnip | mehdi: make a new user, log in as the new user, run firefox | 06:28 |
| ActionParsnip | acidrain: try a different guide then.. | 06:28 |
| hex20dec | Jordan_U: And how do I do that? | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | hex20dec: find's '-xdev' option might be useful (xdev does not stand for exclude /dev/ btw, it's just a coincidence). | 06:29 |
| mehdi | ActionParsnip, there is another thing while i run ubuntu or mint as live user everything works fine but when i install them it goes on nervs | 06:29 |
| hex20dec | Jordan_U: Haha, alright thanks. | 06:30 |
| hex20dec | Jordan_U: Is there an exclude option for grep? | 06:30 |
| Jordan_U | hex20dec: Not that I know of. You can check the man page yourself to be sure though. | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | hex20dec: add an extra pipe: | grep -v whatever | 06:31 |
| hex20dec | ActionParsnip: What is -v? | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | hex20dec: in(v)ert is how I remember it, makes the grep output things which DON'T match the string | 06:32 |
| hex20dec | ActionParsnip: This is what I typed, "grep -lir "www-data" *" from the root dir. Now do I add another grep like you said? | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | hex20dec: grep -lir www-data * | grep -v notsee change notsee for what you don't want to see. | 06:36 |
| hex20dec | It | 06:38 |
| hex20dec | ActionParsnip: It's not really a good option since there are a lot of directories that give me that error, and I'd have to put every one of them there. Is there any other way to simply bypass these errors? | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | hex20dec: could try prepending with sudo... | 06:40 |

| Ben64 | Kindari: control what exactly | 08:19 |
| Kindari | I want the monitor to mirror the ssh session. | 08:19 |
| Ben64 | oh, well then screen would work for that | 08:19 |
| sathish | crackerjackz, This is my hosts file .http://paste.ubuntu.com/852370/ | 08:19 |
| somsip | Kindari: I run tmux on servers i maintain. Just setup an alias to "autossh -t tmux a" once tmux is running and that's about it | 08:20 |
| haylo | Kindari it needs X-forwarding set and your monitor need an ip i think | 08:20 |

| Ben64 | all it needs is a place to rsync disc images, and be accessible via http | 08:22 |

| vega- | my oneiric install suddenly wants to remove a bunch of :i386 packages, is this ok? it is a 64bit install. Just wondering why this happens now suddenly.. | 09:37 |
| vega- | (ie. suggests apt-get autoremove) | 09:37 |
| ServerSage | vega-: Perhaps packages that have been moved to 64bit? What are the packages? | 09:38 |
| geirha | RawProduce: The setgid bit on a directory only affects the ownership of files created within, not the permission bits. | 09:38 |
| llutz_ | RawProduce: use ACLs or try to change umask. default umask = 0022 | 09:38 |
| geirha | RawProduce: You'll either have to enable acl and set some default acls on the dir, or just make sure your umask is set to 0002 | 09:38 |
| RawProduce | what's acls? | 09:39 |
| llutz_ | !acl | 09:39 |

| ServerSage | sathish: Did it ping? | 09:54 |
| spitzi | vlt: before I invoke an instance of the vncserver or after ? | 09:54 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 10:11 |

| testlinux | hi | 10:28 |
| testlinux | hi 2 all | 10:28 |
| testlinux | any one suggest me for centralise IDS system | 10:28 |
| ikonia | testlinux: tripwire and snort | 10:29 |
| P0bailey | suricata | 10:30 |
| testlinux | ikonia: ya but snort is not centralise. It for one network only | 10:30 |
| ikonia | testlinux: it's for any network that that node is connected to | 10:30 |
| testlinux | ok | 10:31 |
| === gaura980 is now known as clown | ||
| P0bailey | testlinux, http://www.openinfosecfoundation.org/index.php/downloads take a look to suricata | 10:31 |
| ikonia | testlinux: you can also have multiple nodes on different networks reporting to a central snort node | 10:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | and what would installing eclipse on ubuntu using a tar version from here http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ ? | 10:31 |
| Wiz_KeeD | what would that imply? | 10:31 |
| testlinux | ikonia: It is for IDS not IPS | 10:31 |
| === clown is now known as JokerInDisquise | ||
| === JokerInDisquise is now known as JokerInDisguise | ||
| ikonia | testlinux: that's why I said tripwire & snort | 10:31 |
| compdoc | Ben64, funny, but I use rsync all the time and never knew it used ssh. I do use it without passwords, if thats what your original question asked | 10:32 |
| testlinux | ikonia: ok tripwire is used as IPS | 10:32 |
| ikonia | testlinux: no, its an IDS | 10:32 |
| Ben64 | compdoc: nah, i just want to enable rsync but not let someone ssh in, i tried setting the user's shell to /bin/false but that breaks rsync | 10:32 |
| testlinux | ikonia: But I want IPS. preventions also | 10:33 |
| ikonia | testlinux: it can be used as an IPS too, depending on how you configure it | 10:33 |
| ikonia | testlinux: couple it with snort and you'll have a very well covered setup | 10:33 |

| MonkeyDust | fireball_ you may find an option for that in gconf-editor, under applications | 11:51 |
| wendico | mongy: thank you very much for your help anyways. i got no money to buy a new one, this was a gift :) | 11:51 |
| fireball_ | then maybe I should use the default one dr_willis and any idea how to change the gdm login window? | 11:51 |
| wendico | i may try some more if not i will have to boot other os to watch tv :( | 11:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | can anyone give me advice on installing eclipse properly in ubuntu 10.04? | 11:51 |
| Wiz_KeeD | so i can have it under the applications -> programming and stuff? | 11:52 |
| dr_willis | fireball_: change in what way. gdm is not used in 11.10+ by default | 11:52 |
| dr_willis | !eclipse | 11:52 |
| LjL | Wiz_KeeD: "sudo apt-get install eclipse" doesn't work? | 11:52 |
| wendico | mongy: need the changes we made to be undone or just repluging the device will do? | 11:52 |
| dr_willis | !info eclipse | 11:52 |

| MonkeyDust | "The Eclipse Platform allows tool builders to independently develop tools that integrate with other people's tools so seamlessly you can't tell where one tool ends and another starts." | 11:53 |
| HJE841 | is eclipse only 128kB?? | 11:53 |
| mongy | wendico, a reboot will do the same. :) | 11:53 |
| fireball_ | I need to change the gdm login window appearance [maybe transparent or even change it entirely] I use natty dr_willis I can change the background but not the login window | 11:53 |
| ZeusCool | anyone can help me with wrapping a string in another with bash: from "this string with text" to "*********** this string with text "***********" ? | 11:53 |
| wendico | mongy: ty | 11:53 |
| LjL | ZeusCool: escape the internal quotes, by using \", or use ' for the external ones. #bash can probably help better. | 11:54 |
| ZeusCool | LjL thanks | 11:54 |
| dr_willis | fireball_: you can do some tricks to run the gnome settings tool as the gdm user and tweak the theme settigs. webupd8 blog site had guides at one time on this | 11:55 |
| fireball_ | dr_willis does it work on natty or lucid? | 11:55 |
| dr_willis | fireball_: it works with gdm... | 11:56 |
| Wiz_KeeD | LjL, that gets the 3.5 version | 11:56 |
| Wiz_KeeD | there's a 3.7.1 version on the eclipse site | 11:56 |
| Wiz_KeeD | ... | 11:56 |
| wendico | mongy: oh no, this is my usb stick http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Genius_TVGo_DVB-T02PRO should i take this info as truthfull and dont try anymore? | 11:57 |
| LjL | Wiz_KeeD: well that's the proper way to install software. of course it may not always be the latest, is there a reason you need the latest? if so, consider upgrading from Lucid. | 11:57 |
| dr_willis | find a ppa for the newer version Wiz_KeeD | 11:57 |

| darklajid | A question of process: If there's an outdated (well, arguably) package in 11.10 - what's the way forward? | 12:15 |
| wendico | mongy: i installed me-tv on live 11 but is not posible to find it on the menu haha | 12:15 |
| jrib | !latest\ | 12:15 |
| jrib | !latest | darklajid | 12:16 |
| ubottu | darklajid: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 12:16 |
| jrib | darklajid: check out those 3 factoids at the end there (you can /msg ubottu !factoid) | 12:16 |
| mongy | wendico, top left ubuntu icon or hit super key, type me-tv | 12:16 |
| bc81 | jrib: thanks you, exactly what i was looking for :)! | 12:17 |
| darklajid | Thanks. Well, couldn't find a ppa for that stuff so far, didn't know the rest | 12:17 |
| wendico | mongy: i did but it does not show, oh, my computer freezz lol | 12:17 |
| MonkeyDust | ljsoftnet try sudo dmidecode -t 4 | 12:17 |
| jrib | darklajid: what package? | 12:17 |
| wendico | maybe my usb stick is to old :) | 12:17 |
| darklajid | jrib: libpam-google-authenticator | 12:17 |
| jrib | bc81: you can navigate search hits with n (next) and N (previous) as well | 12:17 |
| wendico | i reboot and install me-tv again hehe | 12:17 |
| darklajid | Which already seems to be a mere source snapshot according to the version number. And an old one. | 12:18 |
| mongy | wendico, good deals on ebay :) sorry it's not working for you. | 12:18 |
| bc81 | jrib: again, thanks! i tried ctrl+g and f3, and was just about to ask that. you read minds? ;) | 12:18 |
| jrib | bc81: very handy :) The default pager is "less", so you might want to browse its man page to learn about what else you can do | 12:19 |

| bc81 | i never thought to use man man...ahh the wonders of linux | 12:19 |
| mongy | wendico, this is why I researched and not bought random hardware :) | 12:19 |
| jrib | bc81: man man mostly talks about how man pages are organized iirc, try man less too when you get bored | 12:20 |
| bc81 | ok, will do | 12:20 |
| darklajid | Ah well.. Guess sru and backports couldn't care less about that package.. ;-) | 12:20 |
| jrib | darklajid: probably not... | 12:20 |
| wendico | mongy: no hehe, i havent bought it either. just brought me my girlfriend, its used | 12:20 |
| jrib | darklajid: what's your argument as to why its outdated? | 12:20 |
| ljsoftnet | how do i "cat" a single processor, if i "cat /proc/cpuinfo" i get three results of the three cores i have, i just need 1 | 12:21 |
| wendico | mongy: sure if i buy i look at tested hardware :) | 12:21 |
| jrib | ljsoftnet: stop printing at the first blank line? | 12:21 |

| sally | Hello everyone. I just downloaded Linux. I am a total novice. | 12:24 |
| jrib | ljsoftnet: well if you only had the information for the first core how would you then get the name? | 12:24 |
| darklajid | The maintainer unfortunately is rather opaque.. Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com> | 12:24 |
| jrib | darklajid: there should be some field like X-Orig-Maintainer or something like that | 12:24 |
| ljsoftnet | jrib grep | 12:24 |
| darklajid | Filing a bug is not a problem. Learning to package myself is kind of scary.. :) | 12:24 |

| jrib | ljsoftnet: see if #ubuntu-motu (and maybe #ubuntu-packaging) have better advice | 12:26 |
| jrib | ljsoftnet: you can at least package it yourself, whether or not you can get it into the repos I am not sure (really depends on what the issues with the current package are).

| inzen | linocisco: I mean was ubuntu installed recently? | 14:10 |

| mosno | :) | 14:11 |
| linocisco | inzen: no. itwas installed a month ago | 14:11 |
| linocisco | i dont know where update manager is . 11.10 is weird | 14:12 |
| inzen | I know that thats why I avoid it at all costs linocisco[ubuntu 11.10] | 14:12 |
| mosno | linocisco, top-right cog thing, click where it says "software is up to date" | 14:12 |

| linocisco | mosno: thanks for your polite response for newbie | 14:14 |
| mosno | np | 14:14 |
| linocisco | mosno: I now see update manager. 11.10 GUI is not userfriendly like other versioins | 14:15 |
| mosno | linocisco, i wouldn't really know, i usually don't use ubuntu :P | 14:15 |
| inzen | ok ok [should i have been more polite] | 14:15 |
| inzen | ??? | 14:15 |
| inzen | linocisco you can reload the packages list from update-manager | 14:16 |
| linocisco | the thing is that i have put and configured apt.conf and put under /etc/apt/. now I have put comment# sign infront of Acquire. but that is not updated yet | 14:16 |
| linocisco | inzen: I could not reload. it said check Internet connection | 14:17 |

Now I want that every other user (that is member of the group which is assigned to the directory) be able to place a file in that directory. But that the user is not listed as owner of the file. But the owner of the directory should be listed as the file. I tried setting chmod o+s on the directory. But this didn't work. Any ideas? | 14:27 |
| trever420 | but does gparted recognize the virtual drive that vbox creates? | 14:27 |

| jrib | sbn: you need to use access control lists (see « man setfacl », « man getfacl », « man mount » (you need to add the "acl" option to your partition's mount options); in particular read about the default ACL) | 14:29 |
| linocisco | trever420: vbox can handle any ISO . but what do you want to do with Gparted ISO ? | 14:29 |
| linocisco | inzen: is it your site? | 14:29 |
| sbn | jrib: that's working with active directory? | 14:29 |
| jrib | sbn: I don't know | 14:29 |
| trever420 | i'm asking if i boot from the gparted iso to modify the virtual drive (edit partitions) will gparted see the virtual drive | 14:29 |
| inzen | linocisco: just discovered it a few months ago while surfing | 14:30 |
| trever420 | i know in vmware it does | 14:30 |
| inzen | linocisco: its awesome aint it? | 14:30 |
| sbn | jrib: I though add the sticky bit to the directory owner should do the job. But guess that only works with the group | 14:30 |
| trever420 | but not sure if virtual box's virtual drives are the same | 14:30 |

| mivulf | what's the differenses between debian and ubuntu? | 14:31 |
| trever420 | BluesKaj, ummm well the whole point of an emulator is to make it look like seamless hardware to the OS | 14:31 |
| trever420 | hence why it works in VMware | 14:32 |
| llutz | trever420: you boot gparted inside vbox-vm? then it should use it | 14:32 |
| trever420 | thanks llultz... that's what i was wondering | 14:32 |

| BluesKaj | trever420, yeah , but not to an app that looks at your hdd partitions | 14:32 |
| trever420 | i just wanted to make sure that gparted would actuially see the vbox drive as a physical drive (like vbox is emulating the actual hardware) | 14:33 |

| linocisco | inzen: now I just want to build ubuntu server to | 14:34 |
| trever420 | blueskaj... nvm i'm just gonna find out... the whole point of an emulator is to make sure that the vitual drive looks like a physical drive to the guest... i just wanted to make sure the vbox was emulating the drive as a physical drive that gparted could see and modify | 14:34 |
| linocisco | inzen: I just want to setup ubuntu failover server to handle two different ISP lines | 14:34 |
| trever420 | dr_willis i already have a virtual disk that is running ubuntu but I want to resize the partition it's on and just wanted to make sure if i boot that guest from the gparted ISO it'd actually be able to see the virtual disk | 14:35 |

I have Mint on my flash all ready to go the bios setting boot priority and it's cd-dvd rom, usb etc. So thats ok, however when I put the flash in and reboot it does not boot into the usb. So I rebooted and went into the boot menu and selected the usb to boot into. But it's giving me this error - vesamenu.c32: not a com32r image and under that it has boot: ? | 14:35 |
| trever420 | i'm downloading gparted now | 14:35 |
| inzen | linocisco I have NEVER set up a server before can you suggest me how to set up servers? | 14:35 |
| llutz | !mint | RedViper | 14:36 |
| ubottu | RedViper: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 14:36 |
| dr_willis | inzen: depends on the services and job the server is doing | 14:36 |
| linocisco | inzen: no. I am to read from ubuntu documentation | 14:36 |
| RedViper | llutz: Why? | 14:37 |
| llutz | RedViper: why what? | 14:37 |
| bazhang | RedViper, this is not a mint support channel | 14:37 |
| inzen | is setting up a server complex? dr_willis linocisco? or is it just as simple as 1 2 3? | 14:37 |
| llutz | RedViper: no mint-support here | 14:37 |
| dr_willis | mint has its own support channels | 14:37 |
| llutz | RedViper: mint is mint, not ubuntu (even if its based on it) | 14:37 |
| dr_willis | inzen: totally depends on what you want the server to 'serve' | 14:37 |
| dr_willis | inzen: install the desktop edition, install needed services.. is all i do | 14:38 |
| MonkeyDust | inzen there's the command tasksel (task select), but then: 'simple' depends on how skilled you are | 14:39 |

| dr_willis | inzen: why do you need a website at home? | 14:39 |
| mnk0 | supz | 14:39 |
| trever420 | everyone needs a website at home ;-) | 14:40 |
| dr_willis | inzen: my home server does ssh. samba, and upnp video shareing | 14:40 |
| trever420 | dr_willis... what do you use for upnp sharing? | 14:40 |
| dr_willis | trever420: theres several - depends on your needs. | 14:41 |
| inzen | ok and is it easy to maintain a home server of your type? dr_willis | 14:41 |
| dr_willis | inzen: whats to maintain.. set it up.. and its setup | 14:41 |
| trever420 | i've been looking into that myself... i have a wired gigabit network and i want to stream to my PS3 and xbox 360s as well as a few other devices in my house... but i would like to able to handle about 5 streams at once from the same server | 14:41 |

| trever420 | i believe UPnP requires realtime transcoding to stream files to various devices right? | 14:42 |
| inzen | dr_willis, and do you need a high end server or just a minimal desktop will do? atleast for home server | 14:42 |
| dr_willis | that mobi player thing is neat but its not freee | 14:42 |
| trever420 | inzen you could get a way with hjust a desktop | 14:42 |
| trever420 | depends really on your needs | 14:43 |
| dr_willis | inzen: it all depends on what you are doing | 14:43 |
| trever420 | but the thing to know is you may need DynDNS if you intend on hosting a website | 14:43 |
| dr_willis | thats the main 'thing to know' | 14:43 |
| inzen | dr_willis, which linux distro is most feasible? | 14:43 |

| trever420 | are you looking at hosting a content management system | 14:52 |
| trever420 | a file server? | 14:52 |
| trever420 | how many clients are you planning on running on the thing | 14:53 |
| dr_willis | inzen: it may be a good idea to read up on a few home networking beginner guides | 14:53 |
| inzen | trever420 I just wanted to know generally what desktop servers do thats all | 14:53 |
| inzen | I dont have the means to create a server a good old desktop is all I have | 14:53 |
| trever420 | i mean in comparison linksys makes routers that have SAMBA, DHCP, SSH, Apache, amongst other things and they dont even have half the power that my crap box has | 14:53 |
| trever420 | inzen thats fine | 14:54 |
| trever420 | that will work | 14:54 |
| trever420 | if all you want is a simple place to store files | 14:54 |
| dr_willis | izen a desktop box is my server | 14:54 |
| trever420 | i mean the term "server" is very vague | 14:54 |
| inzen | i see.. | 14:54 |
| dr_willis | my cellphone can work as a server | 14:54 |
| trever420 | i recommend installing the server version iof ubuntu tho not desktop... | 14:54 |
| trever420 | desktop's overhead is to high | 14:55 |
| dr_willis | for home use. i use desktop thrn install the seevices | 14:55 |
| trever420 | i mean it'll work... just not efficient | 14:55 |
| inzen | how ? tell me how? dr_willis? thats so interesting? tell me | 14:55 |
| dr_willis | then turn off the desktop if not needed | 14:55 |
| trever420 | yea true | 14:55 |

| linelevel | Hi, is there any danger in keeping my Thinpad cpu fan speed manually set to "disengaged", so it spins much faster than the highest numerical setting (which is 7 @ around 4500 RPM.. "disengaged" is @ over 6500 RPM). It's noisier for sure, but is there any danger in keeping it there permanently? My thinkpad never overheated until a few weeks ago, but now it's overheating constantly unless I set fan speed to "disengaged". | 15:01 |

| lucifer | hi i'm having trouble with hybernating my ubuntu when i close the LID of my notebook It Wont Come back So I Have To Restart Completely | 15:07 |
| muszti | my question is if I register a domain with outside nameserver like freedns.afraid. org, and my ip is dynamic, will it register for me? | 15:08 |
| llutz | roasted: yes | 15:08 |
| lucifer | i there any patch or command that could fix it...? | 15:08 |
| Darkdruid | undernet.org | 15:08 |
| roasted | lucifer: does suspend work okay? | 15:08 |
| linelevel | Myrtti: thanks, I'll definitely check | 15:08 |
| lucifer | roasted, No | 15:08 |
| muszti | I mean my ip periodically changes | 15:08 |
| roasted | lucifer: I've personally found "hibernate" to suck, on my windows and linux systems, even on my mac I have issues with hibernate. Suspend tho I've grown to prefer on any platform. | 15:08 |
| roasted | lucifer: oh wow, if suspend doesn't work either I'm at a loss. | 15:08 |
| muszti | and I'm not sure how it will register the nameserver | 15:09 |
| muszti | anyone please | 15:09 |
| lucifer | i fixed my wireless driver using a new patch downloaded from backtrack Website... | 15:09 |
| dr_willis | dyndns is handy muszti | 15:09 |
| lucifer | so ithought it could fix this problem as well | 15:09 |
| llutz | muszti: you just need a ddns-client to update your ip | 15:10 |
| muszti | dr_willis, I have freedns | 15:10 |
| muszti | llutz, I've already done that with freedns | 15:10 |
| dr_willis | my homme router does dyndns ;) | 15:10 |
| roasted | lucifer: I'm not sure. Personally, I come here for quick questions. I find the UbuntuForums to have more luck with issues like that because since it sits there all day many more people can read your question. | 15:10 |
| roasted | lucifer: so I'd post there and check back in a day or so. Personal opinion though, I know issues like that can be frustrating to tolerate until you hear of a fix! | 15:11 |
| cak054 | register q1w2e3r4t5nick | 15:11 |
| muszti | dr_willis, but how does it happen when a dns registration completed? | 15:11 |
| dr_willis | askubuntu.com is a must hit site in addation to the forums | 15:11 |
| ikonia | lucifer: you've been asked not to ask for support in here as you are using blackbuntu, not ubuntu | 15:11 |
| dr_willis | muszti: i dont register anything. | 15:11 |
| lucifer | roasted, : well actually ur right but here is faster IF ur lucky enogh to be in the right place in the right time... | 15:11 |

| techno_freak | i was just checking out the settings and suddenly something seems to have gone wrong | 15:14 |
| lucifer | roasted, : Yeah I Go To BlackBuntu Forum | 15:14 |
| roasted | ikonia: things are working great. I was definitely over thinking it. I actually became frustrated when it all clicked and I realized, wow, it's a matter of 2 commands total, keygen, copy-id, then disable pw auth and it's rock solid. | 15:14 |
| llutz | muszti: sry, what? | 15:14 |
| roasted | lucifer: I'm not familiar with that variant, so I can't be of additional help there. :( | 15:15 |
| muszti | llutz, and if my ip is dinamic it is not a problem when it changes while I'm adding the nameserver? | 15:15 |
| techno_freak | when i move around the windows, they seem to stick around in the background, like a shadow | 15:15 |

| deni | i thinks this i very wrong.....if nothing the nginx package should be a meta package for all the other packages.....and the docs should be in nginx-doc | 15:21 |
| deni | bc81: apt-get autoremove as well | 15:21 |

| InSac_Ed | Oh great flashback....last IRC chat at least 80's. Installed Ubuntu on a netbook, sick of Windows, what is a good how to guide for this Linux flavor? | 16:28 |
| martian | esteeven: then that's just a failure on behalf of the sites designer. They are probably not specifying what font to use, so the browser just uses whatever it considers to be the default sans font | 16:28 |
| jconnolly | hey, anyone know which project/package is responsible for this lovely magic? | 16:28 |
| jconnolly | jconnolly@jconnolly-linux:~$ ircd | 16:28 |
| jconnolly | The program 'ircd' can be found in the following packages: * ircd-irc2 | 16:28 |
| jconnolly | apt? bash? | 16:29 |
| rattatoue | Guest76002, okay look at that list and you should see something under that VGA part that says. Says "Kernel Driver in use:" whats it say for your ATI card? | 16:29 |
| rcmaehl | I need help connecting to the Windows Shares on my School's network | 16:29 |
| heat1 | martian: I didn't have ubuntu before in that laptop | 16:29 |
| heat1 | martian: I installed windows 7, downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and installed it... | 16:29 |
| rcmaehl | It keeps giving Failed to Recieve share list from server | 16:29 |
| skypce | guys, i have a path /usr/share/themes that i can override from /home/users/.themes, does have more folders as the example that can be override? | 16:29 |
| Guest76002 | Kernel driver in use : radeon | 16:29 |
| rcmaehl | Ubuntu 11.10 32bitr | 16:30 |
| martian | heat1: strange. try running nm-applet | 16:30 |
| esteeven | martian, okay. I will try to adjust in Firefox then. | 16:30 |
| rattatoue | Guest76002, Im not real sure about ATI cards, but that sounds like the right driver for your card. Are you talking about videos on your computer or like youtube flash videos? | 16:30 |
| heat1 | martian: from terminal? | 16:30 |
| Guest76002 | rattatoue: that is correct | 16:30 |
| martian | heat1: sure | 16:30 |
| jconnolly | found it | 16:30 |
| jconnolly | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommandNotFoundMagic | 16:30 |
| Guest76002 | rattatoue: streaming videos | 16:30 |
| jconnolly | <333 | 16:30 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, ah I see that only certain programs allow you to open up multiple instances | 16:30 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, right. Thats why I dont use unity anymore actually. | 16:31 |
| rattatoue | Guest76002, is it just one site or any flash site? | 16:31 |
| Guest76002 | rattatoue: i recall fixing this once - there was an issue with flash | 16:31 |
| Guest76002 | rattatoue: something about installling flash updates | 16:31 |
| heat1 | from the terminal it says "command not found" | 16:32 |
| esteeven | brb | 16:32 |
| rattatoue | Guest76002, you can try running the update-manager check if there is a flash video update otherwise you will have to manually install it | 16:32 |
| Guest76002 | rattatoue: install flashaid, i think? | 16:32 |
| martian | heat1: well, that's strange. For some reason you don't have network manager installed. I'm still on 11.04 so maybe they took it out in 11.10 in some stroke of genius | 16:33 |
| heat1 | martian: from the terminal it says "command not found", then I hitted alt-f2, wrote nm-applet and hitted <Enter> it doesn't do anything | 16:33 |
| rattatoue | Guest76002, your welcome to try that if you want, but honestly never used the program so I wouldnt know on that. | 16:33 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, a suggestion. This is up to personal preference, if unity doesnt work for you. One of the best things about Linux is you can use a different DE that might suit you more. | 16:34 |
| heat1 | martian: I'm going to install network managed typing "aptitude install network-manager", Is that ok? | 16:34 |
| heat1 | martian: I'm going to install network manager typing "aptitude install network-manager", Is that ok? | 16:34 |
| bilal03 | hello guyz | 16:35 |
| Chaos_zero | hi | 16:35 |
| martian | heat1: yeah, I was about to suggest that. No idea why it wouldn't be though... don't need to repeat yourself ;) | 16:35 |
| heat1 | martian: I'm going to install network manager typing "aptitude install network-manager", do you agree? | 16:35 |
| martian | heat1: yes, you don't need to ask three times :-P | 16:36 |
| David_Miller | Is there a way to get dhclient (or similar) to never try to renew leases | 16:36 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, , yeah I know - however when I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 it (fu bar) my installation | 16:36 |
| David_Miller | other than insanely long lease times | 16:36 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, I was meaning install like KDE, XFCE, Cinnamon Desktop, Gnome Shell etc. Not upgrade to 11.10 | 16:37 |
| heat1 | martian: sorry, I thought that you wanted me to repeat the question... | 16:37 |
| trever420 | ok ubuntu question... i have a ubuntu server set up... it's acting as my router essentially... it has two NICs.. one (eth0) is my WAN side, and (eth1) is my LAN side. My DHCP runs on ETH1 so that any machine connected to ETH1 gets an IP.. I am using IPTables for firewall rules. | 16:37 |
| trever420 | I have OpenSSH server on this box | 16:37 |
| miha | i read http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android ... when will this be available? :) | 16:38 |
| heat1 | martian: I can't install it because I don't have network... | 16:38 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, yes I did use fallback to gnome3.2 but it locks up now. I was running gnome on 11.04 | 16:38 |
| miha | i use both android and ubuntu... a mix would be greaT :D | 16:38 |
| trever420 | but i changed the port to 54321... what is the proper way to configure IPTables to accept SSH requests on ETH0 (WAN side) | 16:38 |
| bilal03 | i'm currently using ubuntu 11.10, n now going to change my hard drive, is there is any way to transfer all installed packages and customization that i have made to current ubuntu to the new one that is going to install on my new hard drive? | 16:38 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, are you on ATI by chance | 16:38 |
| Chaos_zero | I am having a problem with vsftpd. I can delete and read files but i can not delete or read directories that i try to create. how can i fix this? | 16:38 |
| === kermit is now known as kermit_ | ||
| rcmaehl | bilal03: Burn a gparted live cd | 16:38 |
| rcmaehl | bilal03: hook up both harddrives and copy the partitions from the origianl onto the new one | 16:39 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, you mean - I installed nvidia... | 16:39 |
| bilal03 | <rcmaehl> after | 16:39 |
| xsl | do i need ibus on a workstation? | 16:39 |
| bean | trench, iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 --dport 54321 -j ACCEPT i believe | 16:39 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, yes did you install your latest video driver? | 16:39 |
| bean | err, not trench | 16:39 |
| bean | trever420, iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 --dport 54321 -j ACCEPT | 16:39 |
| bean | i believe | 16:39 |
| bilal03 | <rcmaehl> so i have the same ubuntu there? with all my settings | 16:39 |
| rcmaehl | bilal03: yep | 16:39 |
| faryshta | Minor issue. I think I deleted the WiFi icon from the toolbar on XFCE. | 16:40 |
| bilal03 | <rcmaehl>thanks a lot, i ll try | 16:40 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, running nvidia_96 | 16:40 |
| bean | bilal03, use tab-complete ;) makes talking to be people a lot easier. | 16:40 |
| xsl | trever420: your using ufw or just plain iptables? | 16:40 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, then thats not why its locking up. I am on latest gnome-shell without any probs | 16:40 |
| faryshta | How do I put a wifi icon on XFCE? | 16:40 |
| Morpheusxnl | goodafternoon | 16:41 |
| bilal03 | <bean> didn't get it | 16:41 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, I am thinking a bad upgrade however it is an older machine running graphics card GeForce FX5200/AGP/SSE2 | 16:41 |
| Morpheusxnl | i am running unity 2d why is it that the buttons for close minimize and maximize are not visible on full screen in 3D they are | 16:41 |
| Chaos_zero | anyone ever had this problem before? where you can change files but not folders in vsftpd? | 16:41 |
| trever420 | xs1 just plain iptables | 16:41 |
| Oer | kpas_, do not expect the 96 nvidia driver to work perfect, it is such an old driver, no longer maintained. | 16:42 |
| trever420 | bean that's it? | 16:42 |
| trever420 | really? | 16:42 |
| === Bry8Star_ is now known as Bry8Star | ||
| kpas_ | Oer, worked great in 11.04 | 16:42 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, that is possible. Your graphics card could be the problem as its not new enough to run it. But you should be able to run Unity without any problems. | 16:42 |
| Dr_willis | everything else has changed.. but not the drivetr :) | 16:42 |
| rabbi1 | "Cannot open file as archive" Can i repair this .zip file or its dead ? | 16:42 |
| bean | trever420, I believe so. | 16:43 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, yeah I am running unity now - I am thinking of a fresh install shortly | 16:43 |
| trever420 | awesome thanks :-) | 16:43 |
| Dr_willis | rabbi1, there may be some zip command line tools that have a repair option | 16:43 |
| rcmaehl | rabbi1: or it's not a zip | 16:43 |
| bean | bilal03, instead of typing <bean>, my name is bean, not <bean>. | 16:43 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, thats usually always recommended then upgrades. I mean you can do upgrades, but then you can have a bad upgrade and mess up your packages etc | 16:43 |
| xsl | trever420: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i $WAN --dport 54321 -j ACCEPT ($WAN= write your wan interface) | 16:43 |
| Morpheusxnl | anyone else has this problem on unity 2D | 16:43 |
| bilal03 | bean, got it thanks :) | 16:43 |
| rabbi1 | Dr_willis: thanks, will have a check | 16:44 |
| xsl | trever420: if you dont have big iptables kowledge ufw is very nice | 16:44 |
| xsl | and simple to use | 16:44 |
| trever420 | ufw? what is that? | 16:44 |
| rcmaehl | xsl: what about firestarter | 16:44 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, I agree - example was I could not configure my monitors to twin view | 16:44 |
| rcmaehl | firestarter seems a hole lot better | 16:44 |
| martian | rabbi1: try (in a terminal): zip FF yourfile.zip | 16:44 |
| rcmaehl | whole* | 16:44 |
| faryshta | How do I put a wifi icon on XFCE? | 16:44 |
| xsl | rcmaehl: it's nice also .. but with stuff that can confuse some people up | 16:44 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, I always one run monitor, but I have tried once or twice for twinview and never really had a problem with it. | 16:45 |
| xsl | rcmaehl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | 16:45 |
| rcmaehl | xsl: true. Just don't let anyone go into the settings and just right click and accept connection from source and you should be fine | 16:45 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, nvid... would not show both monitor therefor I had to use my old xorg.conf from my 11.04 | 16:45 |
| heat1 | martian: What can I do? | 16:45 |
| trever420 | xs1: is UFW a GUI frontend for IPTables? | 16:45 |
| trever420 | and does it run from a web interface? | 16:45 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, did you try nvidia-settings thing | 16:45 |
| xsl | trever420: command line | 16:45 |
| martian | heat1: did you install network manager? | 16:46 |
| rabbi1 | martian: what does it do ? | 16:46 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, oh yeah all that crap plus reinstall nv drivers - nothing worked until I used my old xorg | 16:46 |
| martian | rabbi1: attempts to fix the archive | 16:46 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, sounds like you need that fresh install | 16:46 |
| heat1 | I can't because I don't have network on ubuntu 11.10 | 16:46 |
| rcmaehl | :| People at my school keep thinking I'm on command prompt :| This ISN'T a winblows pc | 16:46 |
| rabbi1 | martian: nope, it just zipped the .zip file | 16:46 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, yes | 16:46 |
| xsl | stuff easy like "ufw status" "ufw status verbose" "ufw allow 54321/tcp" | 16:47 |
| heat1 | martian: I can't because I don't have network on ubuntu 11.10 | 16:47 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, some this year ;) | 16:47 |
| xsl | it is rly very simple to work with | 16:47 |
| martian | rabbi1: sorry, try: zip -FF --out fixed.zip yourzip.zip | 16:48 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, now this is just my personal preference, but if your going to try Gnome Shell, should give Cinnamon Desktop a try too. | 16:48 |
| rcmaehl | slow-motion: Hey john | 16:49 |
| rabbi1 | martian: zip warning: Missing end (EOCDR) signature - either this archive is not readable or the end is damaged | 16:49 |
| martian | heat1: ahh right. honestly, that souds fishy. is it possible that the installation process was interrupted when you first installed ubuntu? | 16:49 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, is cinn more similar to gnome 2 or 3 and can I install via app-get | 16:49 |
| rcmaehl | rabbi1: It's dead jim. | 16:49 |
| slow-motion | rcmaehl hi robert | 16:49 |
| rcmaehl | O_O I forgot to remove that from Irssi | 16:50 |
| Lunar_Lander | hello | 16:50 |
| martian | rabbi1: are you sure it's a zip? try running "file yourzip.zip" and see what it says | 16:50 |
| rabbi1 | :( going to flush out :) | 16:50 |
| Lunar_Lander | got a short question about security | 16:50 |
| Lunar_Lander | if that is OK? | 16:50 |
| martian | Lunar_Lander: NO!! | 16:50 |
| rcmaehl | Lunar_Lander: yep or ask in ##security | 16:50 |
| rabbi1 | Zip archive data | 16:50 |
| Lunar_Lander | OK, I hope it's a short question | 16:50 |
| martian | rabbi1: then yep, it's dead :( | 16:51 |
| * rcmaehl mourns the lost of the poor zip file | 16:51 | |
| ubusrv | hi all | 16:51 |
| rcmaehl | loss* | 16:51 |
| shade7p | :) | 16:51 |
| rabbi1 | martian: from the -FF command i am able to see the data inside .zip file. but not extract | 16:51 |
| rcmaehl | I got to go. | 16:51 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, yes, you can have it look exactly like gnome2, well I mean theres a few lil differents or I just have mine setup kinda like a start bar in windows was. Its a lot more polished then mate desktop is and looks a lot better. | 16:51 |
| Lunar_Lander | I use Thunderbird to read the emails in my uni account and there I got an E-Mail newsletter from an Electronic Shop, but the shop was hacked by someone last year, i.e. that guy replaced the shop with a black site, which said that he took the site down. Now I don't know if the E-Mails coming from the shop are OK. I didn't open the e-mail but of course thunderbird had downloaded it from uni to my harddrive | 16:52 |
| Lunar_Lander | I now deleted it | 16:52 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, is it tar ball install or a apt-get install | 16:52 |
| martian | rabbi1: that probably means the header of the archive is intact, so zip is still able to see what is supposed to be in it, but the data is probably all garbled | 16:52 |
| Lunar_Lander | potential danger? | 16:52 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, apt-get install once you add the ppa | 16:52 |
| rattatoue | Lunar_Lamp, if you were running on Linux when you downloaded the email due to Linux's file permissions you should be okay. | 16:53 |
| ubusrv | I'm having trouble running proftpd on an ubuntu server... every time someone tries to connect (outside the LAN) and set passive mode it times out the connection; I've tried ANYTHING I found in manuals, but nothing happens... passive ports are set, ports are open through iptables, router ports open; nf_conntrack, nf_conntrack, nf_nat_ftp modules loaded, and still nothing | 16:53 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, so when I try I can select what desktop to use when logging in right e.g. gnome, unity, or Cin | 16:53 |
| ubusrv | any ideas, please? | 16:53 |
| scwizard | when using sudo my PATH is /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin | 16:53 |
| scwizard | and I can't figure out how to change this | 16:53 |
| rattatoue | kpas_, right. I just pick Cinnamon. You can look on youtube its actually from linux-mint but works great in ubuntu too. | 16:54 |
| scwizard | this is strange because there is no such /usr/X11R6 folder on my computer | 16:54 |
| martian | Lunar_Lander: very unlikely. Not only is thunderbird 'smart' enough to not run things the way some other M$ email clients may have, but being linux, there are not many email virus type things out there to worry about. I wouldn't load the remote images in thunderbird (as it may ask you to do) as it will tell an attacker that someone at your IP is viewing the email, but aside from that don't stress it. | 16:54 |
| bean | Lunar_Lander, doubtful, i take it you're on ubuntu? | 16:54 |
| permaflex68 | ciao a tutti | 16:54 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, will give it a try when I rebuild my system | 16:54 |
| permaflex68 | !list | 16:54 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 16:54 |
| Lunar_Lander | bean exactly, Ubuntu 11.10 | 16:54 |
| Oer | rattatoue, tell him Ubuntu won't support cinamon :-) | 16:55 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, thanks for the info | 16:55 |
| permaflex68 | !list | 16:55 |
| rabbi1 | martian: nope, i was able to extract files one by one, mainfile.zip had 8 other .zip files but i was able to unzip 7 out of 8 one by one. the corrupted .zip file was the last one. .... | 16:55 |
| rabbi1 | martian: thanks a lot ...! | 16:55 |
| scwizard | is it the program sudo that is setting the PATH to this strange value? or is it something else? | 16:55 |
| Lunar_Lander | thanks martian I first thought to completely forget viruses but then someone at the Ubuntu Forum said that even on ubuntu someone was able to steal his e-mail info | 16:55 |
| rattatoue | Oer, I told him it was from a ppa. Whats wrong with that? That alone says its not from ubuntu. | 16:55 |
| martian | rabbi1: rad! | 16:55 |
| Lunar_Lander | oh martian what I also have is plain text view and don't have images showing up in the e-mail | 16:56 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, Oer , Yes I get it. No one OS can support every DE out their | 16:56 |
| Lunar_Lander | I think that is what you meant? | 16:56 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, Oer, but it does not hurt to try different things now and then | 16:56 |
| Lunar_Lander | that if an image is attached that it is just an attachment and isn't displayed at once | 16:56 |
| rabbi1 | martian: Reactive Attachment Disorder ? ;) | 16:57 |
| kpas_ | rattatoue, Oer, plus this might give me ceedence to get the wife to spring for a more powerfull PC since my is about 6 + years old | 16:57 |
| martian | Lunar_Lander: some emails embed images, where others host them remotely and expect your client to fetch them like a web browser. regardless, there's very little to worry about. | 16:57 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 16:57 |
| Lunar_Lander | yeah | 16:57 |
| Lunar_Lander | martian: a final question on that maybe? | 16:57 |
| martian | Lunar_Lander: no need to ask to ask =D | 16:58 |
| llutz | !info whenjobs | 16:58 |
| ubottu | Package whenjobs does not exist in oneiric | 16:58 |
| Oer | kpas_, try it and have fun :-) | 16:58 |
| mike3 | guys, rc.local won't start on startup. it shows in chkconfig as on. any ideas? | 16:59 |
| Lunar_Lander | I know a professor in australia and I wrote him on my freemail account (GMX) and the uni account and sometimes I get a Facebook email from him, simultaneously on both accounts, i.e. "Check my Pictures on Facebook" and that looks like he caught a virus and I thought about informing him and when he would write back, I could open up that e-mail allright then? | 16:59 |
| rabbi1 | how can i disable compiz only for my cursor ? | 17:00 |
| martian | Lunar_Lander: again, being on thunderbird and linux, there's (I'm choosing my words carefully, as nothing is ever 100%) really no chance that you're going to get an email virus | 17:00 |
| Lunar_Lander | OK thanks | 17:00 |
| Lunar_Lander | and sorry again | 17:00 |
| Lunar_Lander | I once told here that I had windows up to last year | 17:00 |
| Lunar_Lander | and then in the summer I started to get paranoid out of the blue | 17:01 |
| Lunar_Lander | until I ordered the 5 CD 11.10 option from Canonical | 17:01 |
| lmao25 | how come when i open firefox, watch a flash video and put it in fullscreen the screen flickrs | 17:01 |
| Lunar_Lander | :) | 17:01 |

| Lunar_Lander | OK | 17:01 |
| ubusrv | I'm having trouble running proftpd on an ubuntu server... every time someone tries to connect (outside the LAN) and set passive mode it times out the connection; I've tried ANYTHING I found in manuals, but nothing happens... passive ports are set, ports are open through iptables, router ports open; nf_conntrack, nf_conntrack, nf_nat_ftp modules loaded, and still nothing; could someone give me | 17:01 |
| ubusrv | any idea? | 17:01 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah one more thing Lint and martian: Is there any place to suggest ideas for future ubuntus? | 17:01 |
| VIPER-II | ok Ubuntu is playing jokes on my. (Not in the mood right now.) | 17:02 |
| Lint | there was site for 'ideas', but I don'tknow if it's abandoned now | 17:02 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 17:02 |
| VIPER-II | I download and save a movie with sabnzbd into a folder. After ubuntu finishes, the whole content of that folder disappeaers. | 17:02 |
| VIPER-II | wtf? | 17:02 |
| Lunar_Lander | I would like to have the Update symbol from Ubuntu 10 back, the red/orange exclaimation mark | 17:02 |
| Lunar_Lander | my 11.10 just slaps the update window into my face | 17:03 |
| VIPER-II | is there some kinda Checkdisk for Ubuntu? | 17:03 |
| Lunar_Lander | VIPER-II: as far as I know, when you | 17:04 |
| dr_willis | !fsck | 17:04 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 17:04 |
| Lunar_Lander | no | 17:04 |
| Lint | VIPER-II, fsck | 17:04 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah | 17:04 |
| themaster_ | i am trying to copy a .so file to my opera plugin lib, but it will not allow me to, as I do not have root permissions. is there another way to do this? or can i temporarily grant myself access? i am the administrator on this pc. | 17:04 |
| VIPER-II | k | 17:04 |
| martian | Lunar_Lander: oh, the red symbol usually just means an update has been installed and you need to reboot for it to take affect. I agree, the update manager is a bit obtrusive. You can set it to only check once a week or something | 17:04 |
| Lint | themaster_, use sudo | 17:04 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah ok martian :) | 17:04 |
| dr_willis | themaster_: users may have a .opera/ dir in their home | 17:04 |
| VIPER-II | aihgt | 17:04 |
| VIPER-II | tx | 17:04 |

| mike__ | Hi, for some reason mpg123 plays some files far too fast (as in playing an album at 45). I think it could be something to do with the fact it is reporting they are MPEG 2 Layer III whereas it's fine when playuing what it sees as MPEG 1 Layer III | 17:09 |

| haylo | there is a menu editor thing for ubuntu vindav | 17:31 |
| dr_willis | a docky? | 17:31 |

| goathouse774 | being unsupported, how are PPAs any better than just downloading and installing? | 17:32 |
| vindav | haylo: we'll, one of my Ubuntu 11.1 desktops have it both displayed, and on another, it doesn't. | 17:32 |
| haylo | vindav, use 11.04 and switch to the classic (gnome) fallback mode. its way easier to use | 17:32 |
| subthalamus | heat1: is sky2 module loaded? | 17:32 |
| EvilResistance | goathouse774, PPAs are actually repositories which update. But when you download the package as source and install it as well, you are still using unsupported software. I guess ease-of-installation-and-removal is the main positive | 17:33 |
| vindav | haylo: would that be done when I log in asking me what to choose ? | 17:33 |
| haylo | well like i said there is a "menu config editor- look for it in your system tools its hard to find | 17:33 |

| heat1 | subthalamus: I don't know what's that | 17:33 |
| subthalamus | heat1: lsmod | grep sky2 | 17:33 |
| haylo | vindav, no thats an installer- no options like that presented | 17:33 |
| trever420 | i think when you compile from source they need like a make uninstall option | 17:33 |
| trever420 | or an uninstall script | 17:33 |
| trever420 | lol | 17:33 |
| zykotick9 | !checkinstall | goathouse774 | 17:33 |
| ubottu | goathouse774: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

| goathouse774 | But, I wouldn't need to compile a PPA, would I? | 17:34 |
| vindav | haylo: we'll...how does one switch to classic gnome fallback mode ? | 17:34 |

| goathouse774 | Are PPAs often behind the official versions? | 17:35 |

| qw-Russian | o my God | 19:06 |
| trism | Somelauw: well, if it is natty+, then: echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/ssh.override; then you can start it when you want it, otherwise comment out the start on line in the /etc/init/ssh.conf file | 19:06 |
| CatalanGuy | hi | 19:06 |
| trism | Somelauw: because the method varies by ubuntu version. | 19:06 |

| auronandace | !gnome2 | trever420 | 19:19 |
| ubottu | trever420: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 19:19 |

| qw-Russian | not understand | 19:20 |
| trever420 | !notunity | 19:20 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:20 |

| martian | goathouse774: Yes. Unless there's some strange configuration. You also don't necessarily need to delete anything. the compilation process builds binaries one at a time, and if one failed because of a dependency missing, the completed ones are likely fine... but it's probably best to just clean up everything | 20:24 |
| trever420 | where it asks for you to add a printer? | 20:24 |

| vyrgozunqk | so i was asking if someone know what happend | 20:40 |
| goathouse774 | lint: the guide seems to imply that if do not install zdoom, I should also not install FMOD | 20:40 |
| goathouse774 | am I not reading it right? | 20:40 |
| auronandace | vyrgozunqk: same advice stands: ask the ppa maintainer | 20:40 |
| vyrgozunqk | ok - ok :D | 20:40 |
| trism | vyrgozunqk: you don't see them because they are not there, as I said, it is only built for precise, not oneiric | 20:40 |
| ludwin01 | ok thanks! | 20:40 |
| vyrgozunqk | trism, since when ?! the ppa menu still supports oneiric | 20:41 |
| mohamedtouj | how to play counter strike on Lubuntu ? | 20:41 |
| vyrgozunqk | and wast week they were there | 20:41 |
| vyrgozunqk | because i have installed unity 5 on my other pc | 20:42 |
| djbenny | mohamedtouj either use wine of crossover games | 20:42 |
| mohamedtouj | on WINE too slow | 20:42 |
| Chronax | Tuplad: Thanks! Did this solve your issue? | 20:42 |
| Tuplad | Chronax, seems that if you delete the .config folder in /home it solves the issue, gonna try it right now :0 | 20:42 |
| vyrgozunqk | this is strange | 20:42 |
| djbenny | mohamedtouj crossover games? | 20:42 |
| vyrgozunqk | djbenny, crossover games won't make things faster... | 20:43 |
| djbenny | vyrgozunqk well with a computer spec od 256mb ram theres not much that can be done | 20:43 |
| vyrgozunqk | djbenny, nothing will help him | 20:44 |
| martian | goathouse774: while this is compiling let me ask you, did you download the fmodex archive and extract it to your main source folder, and did you download zdoom as an archive or did you use subversion? | 20:44 |
| vyrgozunqk | for him will be better to use windows 2000 | 20:44 |
| vyrgozunqk | its his best option : ) | 20:44 |
| OttifantSir | Does anyone know why, after re-installing Ubuntu 10.04.4 on a friend's laptop it boots to CLI instead of GDM? Installed from a USB made with usb-creator and an alternate-iso where I chose OpenSSH, Samba, Print and Desktop. And it reverts to boot-menu when doing a "sudo shutdown now" | 20:44 |
| djbenny | vyrgozunqk yeah probably | 20:44 |
| BitWraith | Have any of the "Ubuntu for Android" software or specifications been released to the public yet? I would love to know more about how you guys got the X server working... | 20:44 |
| mohamedtouj | what mean amedtouj crossover games? | 20:44 |
| vyrgozunqk | OttifantSir, maybe his laptop is too new, especcially if he is using SandyBridge CPU | 20:45 |
| OttifantSir | vyrgozunqk: Nope, that's not it. If any, too old, as it is at least 5 years old. | 20:45 |
| vyrgozunqk | mohamedtouj, there's a compani named " crossover " who does different implementation of wine, specialized on gaming | 20:46 |
| auronandace | mohamedtouj: crossover is essentially wine, if it is slow in wine it likely won't improve in crossover | 20:46 |
| goathouse774 | matian: don't understand the first question. second question: subversion. | 20:46 |
| vyrgozunqk | auronandace, is right | 20:46 |
| mohamedtouj | please give URL to download crossover | 20:46 |
| vyrgozunqk | try piratebay :D | 20:46 |
| vyrgozunqk | no urls here | 20:46 |
| djbenny | 20:47 | |
| djbenny | lol | 20:47 |
| auronandace | vyrgozunqk: i thought cedega was for wine games | 20:47 |
| martian | goathouse774: well since you used subversion, I'm assuming your have a trunk folder, right? | 20:47 |
| goathouse774 | martian: I chose the first option under the FMOD section, and got the subversion... version. | 20:47 |
| vyrgozunqk | auronandace, cedega = crossover games as i know | 20:47 |
| vyrgozunqk | : ) | 20:47 |
| goathouse774 | martian: I'm a beginner. I just followed the guide. I barely know what a "trunk folder" is. | 20:48 |
| Lint | goathouse774, why don't you just compile zdoom without sound support? | 20:48 |
| goathouse774 | martian: I seem to have a trunk folder when I look back at the terminal | 20:48 |
| goathouse774 | martian: sound is crucial to doom | 20:48 |
| Lint | goathouse774, trunk folder contains the current version of a project | 20:48 |
| Seryth | trever420: You there? I've discovered something intersting. | 20:48 |
| Seryth | interesting* | 20:49 |
| goathouse774 | lint: sound is crucial to doom | 20:49 |
| vyrgozunqk | damn unity crashes with the new mesa 8 and new intel driver :/ | 20:49 |
| vyrgozunqk | sometimes.. | 20:49 |
| martian | goathouse774: no worries :) so, you downloaded the fmodapi42636linux.tar.gz archive, right? did you extract that in to the same folder as the src, tools, docs, etc folders? | 20:49 |
| trever420 | seryth did u discover a new planet we can all move to? | 20:49 |
| goathouse774 | martian: I followed the guide. | 20:49 |
| Lint | what happened if an app terminated with "Bus error" message? | 20:49 |
| goathouse774 | martian: as I sit here now, your question is greek. | 20:50 |
| goathouse774 | martian: I didn't manually extract anything | 20:50 |
| Seryth | trever420: Not quite that exiting I'm afraid. This is what I discovered: CUPS is sending the jobs, but the printer isn't doing them. When I hit "print test page" it says it's completed, but nothing happens to the printer. Same when I try to print a document from LibreOffice writer... | 20:50 |
| vyrgozunqk | goathouse774, do not speak about the guys i hate because i work in their embassy | 20:51 |
| vyrgozunqk | :D | 20:51 |
| goathouse774 | martian: I figured some extraction might be taking place automatically, but I couldn;t be sure | 20:51 |

| goathouse774 | martian: how do I delete everything? | 20:53 |
| martian | um, do you have a gui? just delete wherever you put all this stuff | 20:53 |
| Seryth | trever420: Understatement! | 20:54 |

| Lazerath_Alt | hay all can i get some serious help quick | 20:56 |
| trever420 | seryth: sure why not | 20:56 |
| Lazerath_Alt | how to I command line change the dns name server | 20:56 |
| trever420 | i guess it cant hurt | 20:56 |
| goathouse774 | martian: isn't linux weird about installing and uninstalling things? | 20:56 |
| trever420 | but i dunno if thats the issue | 20:56 |
| vindav | haylo: after about 10 restarts, doing a unity reset, removing compizconfig, and lightdm including to make sure to reboot and select Gnome classic, nothing produces the preferences and administration menu. Any thoughts ? | 20:56 |
| Lazerath_Alt | i know to edit the /etc/resolv.conf but how to i reload it | 20:56 |
| trever420 | seryth: if that doesnt work try "sudo gedit /etc/modprode.d/modprobe.conf" | 20:56 |
| goathouse774 | martian: I'm picturing files spread out all across my entire system. no? | 20:56 |
| mohamedtouj | what mean crossover pleaseeee ? | 20:57 |
| Seryth | trever420: k | 20:57 |
| trever420 | seryth at the end of that add the lines "blacklist usblp" | 20:57 |
| trever420 | u might need to reboot the computer tho | 20:57 |
| DJones | mohamedtouj: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/ | 20:57 |
| martian | goathouse774: nope, everything that happened, happened inside the directory that was created when you first checked out the code with SVN | 20:58 |

| CoJaBo | How do I set if so Ubuntu automatically reconnects to wifi when disconnected? The system is not easily accessible, I cannot keep clicking the dialog again and again :/ | 20:58 |
| loganrun | is there a way to fix the unity window manager so that you can drag a window that is maximized without first clicking on it to give it focus. this is driving me crazy. | 20:58 |
| trever420 | Seryth: look here under USB Printers under CUPS 1.4.x https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS#Blacklisting_usblp | 20:59 |

| OttifantSir | wunnle: Unless you get some answer that uses a supported method, I know of only one small program that really disables MY touchpad: Jupiter. AFAIK it's part of the Elementary project, and installation instructions can be found at WebUpd8, but you will find no help or support for it here. | 21:00 |
| wunnle | OttifantSir, afaik? | 21:01 |

| badola_ | how do I set global keyboard shortcuts in ubuntu.. I am using Oneric Ocelot. | 22:09 |
| phpn00b | just installed ubuntu on my new dell xps laptop. it is extremely fast. but how do I make sure it is not using the nvidia card? | 22:10 |
| cfhowlett | Aranel is there more than one headphone jack? | 22:11 |
| CoJaBo | How do I set if so Ubuntu automatically reconnects to wifi when disconnected? The system is not easily accessible, I cannot keep clicking the dialog again and again :/ | 22:11 |
| CoJaBo | (The "connect automatically" option is already checked, and the password is saved) | 22:11 |
| timg | trism: eh, its still missing some bits. If for example I do `apt-get source php5` it pulls down the sources, but there is a debian directory inside the source dir which contains the change log, patches etc.. | 22:12 |
| martian | CoJaBo: Normally works fine for me, so I don't think there's a way to 'set it' to do so; it already should :-/ | 22:12 |
| timg | trism: without that directory I get this tail: cannot open `debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory | 22:12 |
| Aranel | cfhowlett: to be honest, I just plugged it into a random jack and set it as headphones on windows. | 22:12 |
| trism | timg: you download the *.gz *.dsc from that page and: dpkg-source -x *.dsc; | 22:12 |
| CoJaBo | martian: Yeh, I just now thought to try wicd, do you think that might help? | 22:12 |

| trism | timg: I will check it out, one second | 22:13 |
| timg | 10-4 | 22:13 |
| cfhowlett | Aranel run pavucontrol and/or alsamixer. Your sound is routed through hardware and volumes set with those tools | 22:14 |
| CoJaBo | Failing that, is there a way to just script a mouseclick once per second so it clicks the connect button? -_-' | 22:14 |
| phpn00b | just installed ubuntu on my new dell xps laptop. it is extremely fast. but how do I make sure it is not using the nvidia card? | 22:14 |
| CoJaBo | (thats a serious question, btw.. lol) | 22:14 |
| Aranel | cfhowlett: pavucontrol and alsamixer looks okay. Maybe something is wrong with profile? | 22:16 |
| martian | CoJaBo: I would take this problem as a sign that something may be wrong with your access point, or your network card driver | 22:16 |
| trism | timg: extracts alright here, are you sure you grabbed the 1ubuntu3.diff.gz as well? | 22:18 |
| phpn00b | is it possible to minimize windows in gnome3? | 22:18 |
| Aranel | cfhowlett: btw, I've tried all default profiles, some also muted speakers but none of them worked for headphones. | 22:18 |
| roasted | any idea for ssd not being recognized in ubuntu? | 22:18 |
| CoJaBo | martian: The wifi is known to be flaky, I cannot fix that. I just need it to reconnect automatically, as the laptop is part of a robot I have to dissassemble everytime the connection drops. | 22:18 |
| martian | phpn00b: yes | 22:18 |
| timg | trism: yep | 22:18 |
| cfhowlett | Aranel the default pulseaudio config is @ /home .pulse. Maybe rename it and logout/login to force it to rebuild. Also, try a different set of phones. | 22:18 |

| naftilos76 | Trevor69420: i prefer GUI | 22:23 |
| timg | trism: was going to pastebin it, but that directory does not exist | 22:23 |
| martian | roasted: perhaps it does, but it's also used for virtual memory. If you use suspend, then maybe it should be larger than ram. I do not know about that, but having 6 gigs of ram and 2 gigs of swap is fine for normal operation. | 22:23 |
| roasted | auronandace: ahhhh so if I would hibernate with my RAM maxed, I would need the equivalent in swap to handle it without issue. That's what I was thinking of. | 22:23 |
| naftilos76 | do you know the pkg name? | 22:23 |
| timg | trism: per `file debian` debian: ERROR: cannot open `debian' (No such file or directory) | 22:23 |

| Fremen_ | cfhowlett: thanks :) | 22:49 |
| bluedeep | thx | 22:49 |
| Fremen_ | cfhowlett: back to topic | 22:49 |
| urfr332gO | greglade, when I google this "auto adust of the line in level in 11.10" I get various hits I don't have a clue what you talking about maybe others will. :) | 22:49 |
| cfhowlett | Fremen_ continue... | 22:49 |
| greglade | urfr332gO: k | 22:49 |
| cowslammer | lint ok i got that. i'm looking for a way to scroll back. the setting says i've got 500 lines but theres no icon on the main screen | 22:49 |
| Fremen_ | cfhowlett: i want to have 3 distros on my harddrive | 22:49 |
| cfhowlett | Fremen_ possible... | 22:50 |
| Fremen_ | cfhowlett: ubuntu , linux mint and pclinuxos and of course windows | 22:50 |
| martian | goathouse774: you should just have to put them in the right location. they're just data files like avi or jpg | 22:50 |
| urfr332gO | greglade, details are the key to using the IRC if that helps. :) | 22:50 |

| Fremen_ | cfhowlett: to use space efficently, i learned that this distros can share part of the file system like home and boot directories | 22:50 |
| Fremen_ | cfhowlett: i seen on ubuntu partition table that i can create 9 diffirent file system partitions | 22:51 |
| Fremen_ | cfhowlett: so my question is, which ones i should create to make them usable for all distros and how much space i should allocate to them ? | 22:52 |
| urfr332gO | Fremen_, in a extended partition. | 22:52 |
| cfhowlett | Fremen_ gonna have to bail on this one. My multiboot system is limited to triple win7/ubuntu/osx. I've only read about multiboot and havent' found a good reason to struggle with it. FWIW, you can sample other distros with Virtualbox a whole lot easier than what you're attempting. | 22:53 |
| Ben64 | Fremen_: you can share home between distros, but it might be wonky, and you need to make sure uid matches | 22:53 |
| cfhowlett | Fremen_ however... http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions-org-member-success-stories-23/multiple-distros-single-boot-partition-698193/ | 22:53 |
| MonkeyDust | i'm running ubuntu in vbox, now, it's where i'm typing | 22:54 |
| martian | Fremen_: usually you only want to share the swap partition. having multiple distros using the same /usr or /home would be dangerous as one distro will likely have totally different software from another | 22:54 |
| Ben64 | shouldn't share /boot | 22:54 |
| greglade | i have a 10 chanel mixer that i have set up my mics on and from that via the line in to the ubuntu 11.10 box, all the level on the mixer are perfect ;-) but when i whisper or play something quietly the line in level auto adjust feature well.... adjusts . that doesnt work for me so i would like to disable the feature ;-) | 22:54 |
| StevenX | Hi everyone. I am installing an SSH server on my Ubuntu box. Besides using a different port than the default 22, what other settings should I be looking at in the sshd_config file? Are the defaults OK? | 22:54 |
| Ben64 | StevenX: you can use port 22 | 22:55 |
| === zatan_ is now known as zatan | ||
| StevenX | Ben64: I will be using a different port, but which other settings, besides port, should I be looking at? | 22:56 |
| greglade | and i cant find out how to do that? | 22:56 |
| martian | StevenX: the defaults are typically fine; that's why they're default ;) | 22:56 |
| Fremen_ | martian: hmm so the general opinion is that i should only share swap area ? otherwise it could cause problems ? | 22:56 |
| stercor | I'm having a difficult time installing MySQL with synaptic. It seems to have circular dependencies: mysql-server: Depends: mysql-server-5.1 but it is not going to be installed | 22:56 |
| StevenX | martian, ok thanks. Also, how I can ensure that the server starts on boot? | 22:56 |
| urfr332gO | Fremen_, to be honest none of what you want is beginners and has a high chance of getting broke. | 22:56 |
| urfr332gO | work* | 22:57 |
| Ben64 | StevenX: if you installed it with apt-get or similar, it will start on boot | 22:57 |
| Faris | is there a command in linux that will add a program to the users start up programs? | 22:57 |
| StevenX | Ben64: I did install it with apt-get, using the command "sudo apt-get install ssh-server" | 22:57 |
| StevenX | Ben64: ok thank you. | 22:57 |
| cfhowlett | Faris no gui? | 22:57 |
| martian | Fremen_: yes. While it is a good idea to put /home on a separate directory (so in case you destroy your installation somehow, your files and settings are preserved) it's risky to use that /home for multiple distros because one may have a different version of gnome than the other, and your .gnome2 files could get all screwey | 22:58 |
| spartition | Hi everyone ! I've got some boot issues :/ | 22:58 |
| chid | hi, I recently resumed from a hibernate but accidentally rebooted, how can I resume from the hibernate swap again? | 22:58 |
| leftist | does ubuntu server include horde or roundcube as an email server? | 22:58 |
| Faris | <cfhowlett> no, tbh Im programming something that the user can choose to add to startup so I need a command | 22:58 |
| Fremen_ | urfr332gO , martian: ok thanks | 22:59 |
| martian | leftist: not by default, but both can be installed... I think roundcube may be in the package repos too | 22:59 |
| cfhowlett | Faris understood - I'm sure there is one, but IDK. Perhaps ask @ #unix | 22:59 |
| leftist | cool thanks martian | 22:59 |
| goathouse774 | illegal operand error when I tried to start a game... worked fine up too actually starting a level. | 22:59 |
| Faris | cfhowlett, okay I will thanks | 22:59 |
| Fremen_ | martian: i will look to the forum page that was posted, do you guys know any other good guides for this for begineers ? | 22:59 |
| mjk5 | Hello to all can someone help with gnome-shell on ubuntu 11.10 x64 ? i cant make it run | 22:59 |
| urfr332gO | Fremen_, I have one HD and 5 OS 4 linux and W7 all have one partition and one swap, no boot partition, but I have everything backed up as clones on a external, and homes of each as well. this makes things rather straight forward. | 23:00 |
| martian | Fremen_: eh, not off the top of my head... omgubuntu.co.uk is a popular blog as well as webupd8.org | 23:00 |
| === jonpavelich is now known as Canadian1296 | ||
| urfr332gO | one swap for all rather Fremen_ | 23:01 |
| burnt | how do I get xchat to put a time stamp next to each name in chat | 23:01 |
| Fremen_ | the reason i want to do this is also i want to experiment on it :) i am not trying to create a perminent HD, at least for know | 23:02 |
| starn | is there an program for ubuntu to access moto phone portal?? i try to use the web browser but it crashes my phone. | 23:02 |
| roasted | Question - with /home on a separate partition, what are good "defaults" to have? 0 2? | 23:02 |
| spartition | Each boot, initramfs is lauching is an error message like : hdio_get_identity failed . Any clue ? | 23:02 |
| bmonkj | burnt, settings -> preferences -> [X] enable time stamps | 23:03 |
| urfr332gO | Fremen_, experimenting is easy, you just need to understand the grub 2 bootloader and which OS is in control of it in conjunction with the mbr. As suggeted a virtual setup may be a good strat. | 23:04 |
| martian | Fremen_: the practice of putting various system directories on different partitions likely dates back to when hard drive space was expensive and slow, so putting /usr and /bin on their own partition would increase speed and lower the amount of stuff crammed on to each drive | 23:04 |
| urfr332gO | start* | 23:04 |
| goathouse774 | lint: any idea why I'd get an Illegal operand (signal 4) error? | 23:04 |
| dougl | is there a howto to get 11.10 on to a usb stick cant seem to locate it? | 23:04 |
| Fremen_ | ok thanks very much for all your help | 23:05 |
| alexdw369 | I'm new to Ubuntu and am trying out the 12.04 Alpha. I'm having issues with window background color and font color contrast. Is there a channel I should direct this question to? | 23:05 |
| Fremen_ | i will look into it on internet also | 23:05 |
| urfr332gO | dougl, as a install medium or a full install? | 23:05 |
| Fremen_ | have a nice day everyone :) | 23:05 |
| xangua | alexdw369: #ubuntu+1 | 23:05 |
| martian | Fremen_: good luck! | 23:05 |
| alexdw369 | thanks | 23:05 |
| xangua | alexdw369: if you are new why are you using a development release¿ | 23:06 |
| doug_ndndn | tt | 23:06 |
| dougl | urfr332gO, full install | 23:06 |
| alexdw369 | might as well poke around on the latest and greatest, no? | 23:06 |
| dougl | urfr332gO, err - install enuff to boot and run nfs for OSX files on crashing HD | 23:07 |
| urfr332gO | dougl, the usb will need to be around 5 gigs or larger, and it installs like any other using a custom install called other in the install gui. | 23:07 |
| alexdw369 | not trying to use as a daily driver, just trying to get familiar with the environment...troubleshooting is a good way to learn | 23:07 |
| starn | am i able to access moto phone portal via usb like in windows on ubuntu or do i have to use wifi?? | 23:07 |
| uglyoldbob | Can I safely upgrade from ubuntu-10.04 to kubuntu-11.10? | 23:08 |
| urfr332gO | dougl, not sure about that medium, nener used anything OSX. | 23:08 |
| cfhowlett | uglyoldbob if you have a separate /home I'd suggest a clean install | 23:08 |
| Ben64 | uglyoldbob: most likely yes, but 12.04 is released in a month if you want to wait | 23:08 |
| urfr332gO | uglyoldbob, are you being offerd that upgrade in the update manager | 23:08 |
| dougl | urfr332gO, thanks... I will try a 16 gig stick - may the force be with me :) | 23:08 |
| urfr332gO | dougl, you can do a install with unstbootin that will access the HD, not sure though about OSX, the full install would be the same access. | 23:09 |
| urfr332gO | unetbootin* | 23:10 |
| * dougl googling unetbootin | 23:10 | |
| urfr332gO | dougl, you could have a small partition for the unetbootin and another for the files/stuff if they can be transfered. | 23:11 |
| Canadian1296 | How do I format a usb memory stick to ntfs in Ubuntu? | 23:15 |
| bmonkj | Canadian1296, use gparted | 23:15 |
| greglade | one more try ;-) i have a 10 chanel mixer that i have set up my mics on and from that via the line in to the ubuntu 11.10 box, all the level on the mixer are perfect ;-) but when i whisper or play something quietly the line in level auto adjust feature well.... adjusts . that doesnt work for me so i would like to disable the feature ;-) any one have an answer? | 23:15 |
| Canadian1296 | bmonkj: Okay | 23:15 |
| urfr332gO | Canadian1296, with the disk utility or gparted or right click the icon and format. | 23:16 |
| cfhowlett | greglade see #openmusicians | 23:16 |
| greglade | cfhowlett: this is the only distro that ive run into this so far? | 23:17 |
| CXIV | Is it possible to make Persistent ubuntu usb install to have installed packages after reboot? | 23:17 |
| cfhowlett | greglade IDK what to tell you, but pretty sure the folks at openmusican have seen it before also see http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/introduction.html | 23:18 |
| urfr332gO | CXIV, that is what a persistent is, but it has limitations no kernel upgrades should be done and it will fill up sooner or later. | 23:18 |
| greglade | k will try ;-) thanks | 23:18 |
| CXIV | urfr332gO So packages installed during live usb session will remain after reboot? | 23:18 |
| urfr332gO | not easily cleanable a full install is esaier and can be cleaned. CXIV Yes persistent means it save installs | 23:19 |
| urfr332gO | easier | 23:19 |
| CXIV | Thanks | 23:19 |
| dysoco | I need to remove my Ubuntu partition from a PC, will this affect the bootloader ? I'll be able to boot Windows ? | 23:22 |
| cfhowlett | dysoco you have a windows disc? Use it to repair windows boot | 23:23 |
| cfhowlett | dysoco http://kb.acronis.com/content/1507 | 23:24 |
| dysoco | cfhowlett, I don't | 23:24 |
| Etherael | I just clonezilla restored an ubuntu install to a macbook air, it doesn't seem to work and I understand that's because macs use EFI instead of a bios, so I was planning on using rEFIt to boot linux. It seems though there's no actual way to get a bootable usb rEFIt stick, is this correct? | 23:24 |
| urfr332gO | dysoco, is this a standard install or a wubi install? | 23:24 |
| dysoco | Standard | 23:24 |
| urfr332gO | dysoco, what is the windows version? | 23:24 |
| cfhowlett | dysoco you should request the installation media from your computer company | 23:24 |
| dysoco | urfr332gO, It's Windows 7 | 23:25 |
| urfr332gO | dysoco, W7 has a recovery disc option burn one. | 23:25 |
| dysoco | OK then, I think I'll just shrink the partition to about 100Mb, install a lighweight system in it, and use it for now | 23:25 |
| dysoco | I just need some more space, not removing the partition | 23:26 |
| Simon1245 | Hey guys, how can I shut down a program from the terminal? | 23:26 |
| StevenX | Hello. What is the most popular / most supported VNC server for ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| urfr332gO | dysoco, that makes no sense 100MB? | 23:26 |
| roasted | Question - I just fired up an E-350 box on Ubuntu, but I get no signal. I see the purple boot screen but then it tanks and I have nothing whatsoever. Any ideas? | 23:27 |
| cfhowlett | dysoco urfr332go http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ | 23:27 |
| dysoco | urfr332gO, OK, maybe not 100MB, But I'm pretty sure I can do a minimal install of Arch in less than 500Mb | 23:27 |
| urfr332gO | cfhowlett, I know all the tiny distros that has not been mentioned here. | 23:28 |
| Tyrdon | Hello, when i try to run a perl script from terminal, i got this " Global symbol "$var" requires explicit package name" do anyone know why and how i can fix it? | 23:28 |
| urfr332gO | except the arch as I was typing | 23:28 |
| StevenX | !vnc | 23:29 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 23:29 |
| urfr332gO | dysoco, you can make a recovery disc with the W7 you might want to do that and know how it works, or you could have a nice door stopper, and make a image of all your setups as well. | 23:29 |
| roasted | Question - I had an Ubuntu install with proprietary Nvidia drivers installed. I now have that hard drive in a system with an AMD E-350 APU. I'm getting no video output so I believe the Nvidia might be an issue. Is there a way to remove it via terminal? | 23:32 |
