|---|---|---|
| ActionParsnip | bjrohan: can you please prefix the texts to me with my nick, its easier to spot replies | 00:00 |
| tlhonmey | Arthur__: You might try the install CDs for a couple of different distros first, and try making a bootable USB device. some of them use different bootloaders. | 00:00 |

| ubottu | alejandro: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) | 00:01 |
| Arthur__ | i have a class and they are teaching ubuntu so i was going to use the same thing on my machine for now | 00:01 |
| alejandro | #test | 00:01 |
| _Marcus | alejandro: Ubottu mean's the channel. | 00:02 |
| Arthur__ | thanks for the help i will play with it and see what is the issue | 00:03 |
| tlhonmey | Arthur__: well, try making a bootable USB, that might fix it. If that doesn't work, removing the drive is usually only a couple of screws. | 00:03 |
| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: here is what I get running smbtree from the desktop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854747/ | 00:04 |
| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: thanks for the tab trick | 00:04 |
| RenatoSilva | how to disable recent files tracking? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bjrohan: tab works in cli too :) | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bjrohan: ok, did you configure the local firewalls on the systems at all? | 00:05 |
| bjrohan | Actually not the one on my laptop, how do I do that? | 00:06 |
| the_cops | I heard someone in here was pirating the latest ubuntu, if this is true please cut it out. | 00:06 |
| RenatoSilva | ActionParsnip: thanks for the guest tip | 00:06 |
| DonaldShimoda | hi, i need to uninstall a builded kernel, or avoid dkms to build modules for it | 00:06 |
| DonaldShimoda | çhow to do? | 00:06 |
| DonaldShimoda | is a own builded kernel, not ubuntu kernel | 00:06 |
| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: actually not on my laptop, how do I do that? | 00:06 |
| StevenX | Does anyone here use fail2ban? I can figure out if I have if configured right for my ssh server. | 00:06 |
| tlhonmey | DonaldShimoda: Try make uninstall in the source directory and see what it does. | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | bjrohan: but you configured it on the desktop? | 00:06 |
| === max is now known as Guest56016 | ||
| DonaldShimoda | tlhonmey, make uninstall do nothing | 00:07 |
| DonaldShimoda | tlhonmey, the problem is now fglrx package failed to install because cannot build with 3.2 .... | 00:07 |
| DonaldShimoda | tlhonmey, anyway to exclude 3.2 from dkms (jockey)? | 00:08 |
| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: I believe so. I had access set up before, all worked well, then I did a few things on my laptop and lost connection for file sharing, so it must be that I did something on the laptop. I will google, and check laptop firewall settings | 00:08 |
| tlhonmey | DonaldShimoda: I'm sure there is, but I don't know what it is off the top of my head. try man dkms. | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | bjolders: i'd look into the firewall | 00:09 |
| UnclNastyFingerz | ok so im trying to kompile a kernel to have support for a serial IR port, what modules do i need? | 00:10 |
| amaroks | Hi Guys | 00:10 |
| amaroks | anyone around? | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | amaroks: nobody at all | 00:11 |
| CFHowlett | amaroks no. | 00:11 |
| amaroks | nice | 00:11 |
| bazhang | amaroks, ubuntu support issue? | 00:11 |
| DonaldShimoda | tlhonmey, uninstall -m <module> -v <module-version>... how to know the module version... | 00:11 |
| amaroks | Goodnight :D I was just trying out IRC on empathy | 00:11 |
| tlhonmey | UnclNastyFingerz: I don't remember the names, but the ones that are available are labeled as such if you go through the options in make menuconfig. | 00:11 |
| amaroks | someone says my name please | 00:12 |
| Canadian1296 | amaroks: | 00:12 |
| amaroks | That is cool | 00:12 |
| amaroks | nice notifications | 00:12 |
| amaroks | I used ubuntu for 1 month | 00:12 |
| amaroks | then back to windows because I needed photoshop | 00:12 |
| UnclNastyFingerz | its on a KDE box obviously, hence the Kompiler if i were on gnome i would be using gCompiler | 00:12 |
| amaroks | then I couldnt continue on windows! | 00:12 |
| amaroks | missed back ubuntu | 00:12 |
| amaroks | and this week Im back forever I guess | 00:13 |
| amaroks | I felt locked in windows | 00:13 |
| bazhang | amaroks, actual support question? | 00:13 |
| tlhonmey | DonaldShimoda: I'm not sure. I'm not finding a good set of instructions anywhere. Mostly, to uninstall a kernel you just need to delete all its files. | 00:13 |
| gsr | amaroks: plus you can run windows apps with wine, and windows itself in virtualbox | 00:13 |
| === bytesaber_work is now known as bytesaber | ||
| amaroks | yeah gsr, just installed some with wine, works well, they dont look best though | 00:14 |
| amaroks | anyway to have them look a bit better? | 00:14 |
| Afzal | amaroks, photoshop cs5 (portable) runs great here on wine | 00:14 |
| gsr | i just use Virtualbox in seamless mode | 00:14 |
| RenatoSilva | how to disable recent files tracking? what's the replacement for ~/.gtkrc-2.0? | 00:14 |
| Canadian1296 | I need some help with ssh and sftp | 00:15 |
| Canadian1296 | Here or #ubuntu-server? | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | amaroks: why not dual boot | 00:15 |
| kc4zvw_ | ActionParsnip: after installing XFCE how to make it default sesion? | 00:15 |
| gsr | Canadian1296, is it a server side or client side question | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Canadian1296: why not both :) | 00:15 |
| Canadian1296 | gsr: Server side, but you guys respond faster | 00:16 |
| Canadian1296 | ActionParsnip: Okay I will | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | kc4zvw_: log off and select the xfce session, the last session will be set as default for the user | 00:16 |
| amaroks | ActionParsnip I have dual boot, I just hate windows not sure why | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | amaroks: or use Gimp in Ubuntu, its pretty decent | 00:16 |
| kc4zvw_ | ActionParsnip: roger and thanks | 00:16 |
| amaroks | and I hate switching always,Gimp couldn't love it | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | kc4zvw_: anytime, thanks for the gratitude :) | 00:16 |
| amaroks | didn't do well as Photoshop | 00:17 |
| gsr | Gimp is decent, but it doesn't really compare to photoshop | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | amaroks: due to experience by any chance... | 00:17 |
| amaroks | even Photoshop 8 CS does much more than Gimp | 00:17 |
| UnclNastyFingerz | does anyone know the modules needed for serial IR ports? tlhonmey: i get that I need to make menuconfig im in it as we speak | 00:17 |
| haux | I have a couple of ext4 partitions, where if I right click on them in ubuntu, and check the permissions, they only show "root" as the user and no other options. I cannot write to these partitions. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? | 00:17 |
| amaroks | well i tried to learn some, just seems to do less | 00:17 |
| npope_ | haux: google chown | 00:18 |
| tlhonmey | RenatoSilva you might have more luck asking in #gnome | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | haux: add them in /etc/fstab and set better access | 00:18 |
| humungulous | Canadian1296: waiting for your ssh/sftp question | 00:18 |
| amaroks | Thanks and Good night people | 00:19 |
| tlhonmey | UnclNastyFingerz: There are a few sections of hardware drivers in there, the IR port drivers will be in one of them. Unfortunately I don't recall which one. | 00:19 |
| haux | I think chown is going to work here, as long as it works for entire partitions. Thank you! | 00:19 |
| bjrohan | join #ubuntu+1 | 00:19 |
| urfr332gO | bjrohan, /join | 00:19 |
| zykotick9 | haux: change the permission on the mount points | 00:19 |
| bjrohan | got it :) | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | haux: chown -R for recursive | 00:20 |
| tlhonmey | haux: chown will work on /dev files, and with -R will work on all files in a partition, either way. | 00:20 |
| supermun | my touchpad and touchpad click buttons are not working. will someone help me troubleshoot? | 00:20 |
| supermun | ubuntu 11.10 | 00:20 |
| zykotick9 | tlhonmey: i believe trying to chmod /dev will be reset after a reboot | 00:20 |
| haux | So like, chown -R /dev/sdc1 haux ? | 00:20 |
| tlhonmey | zykotick9: generally speaking, yes. | 00:21 |
| npope_ | haux: give it a user | 00:21 |
| humungulous | i think haux's problem is theyre not mounted correctly in the first place | 00:21 |
| Canadian1296 | I need to confine certain users to their home directory in sftp. I have everything set up (they can't execute a shell, only sftp.) I need to confine them to their home (they are in the group "sftponly"). I'm using "Match group sftphosting | 00:21 |
| Canadian1296 | ChrootDirectory %h" to do so, but as soon as I add that i can't log in (I get "Write failed: broken pipe" | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | haux: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /mount/point not the block device | 00:21 |
| tlhonmey | haux: that will change the permissions on the device allowing the user in question control of what to do with them. It's probably not what you're wanting to do. | 00:21 |
| Canadian1296 | Sorry that took so long, I was typing | 00:21 |
| DonaldShimoda | tlhonmey, yeah! deleting modules domthe trick, thanks! will reboot and see | 00:22 |
| DonaldShimoda | bye | 00:22 |
| tlhonmey | Canadian1296: the chroot you create will need the files and programs necessary to login and initiate the transfer. | 00:22 |
| humungulous | ^^^ yes this | 00:22 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest57767 | ||
| lorecaster | Hail, all. While trying to get my BLUE SNOWBALL microphone installed (which it still is not) in the sound properties, and selected as my default microphone, I lost my speakers... soundcard now reads "dummy". I assume it's not trying to hurt my feelings, can anyone give me a hand? | 00:23 |
| haux | tlhonmey, that's pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish. Right now I simply can't write to them (without sudo), because root is set as the owner. | 00:23 |
| supermun | can someone help me troubleshoot why my touchpad and touchpad left right clicks are not working? | 00:23 |
| haux | ActionParsnip, maybe I'm confused about what you mean by mount point. Is /dev/sdc1 not a mount point? | 00:23 |
| Canadian1296 | So what do I have to do? I need to bind them to /var/www/hosting/theirusername so they can edit the contents of their server directory but nothign else. | 00:23 |
| tlhonmey | haux: that's an artifice of how they are mounted. Try the uid and gid mount options to allow usage by non-root people. | 00:24 |
| blumonkey | can i do a md5checksum on an ubuntu distro thats already burned to a disc | 00:24 |
| glen_3b | haux: A mount point is where you access the device contents, for example /media/cdrom might be a cdrom mount point | 00:24 |
| tlhonmey | haux: /dev/sdc1 is the raw device. | 00:25 |
| humungulous | Canadian1296: read here about chrooting shell users http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/chroot-users-with-openssh-an-easier-way-to-confine-users-to-their-home-directories/229 | 00:25 |

| humungulous | blumonkey: there is also a disc integrity check built in to the top menu when you boot into the disk | 00:26 |
| Canadian1296 | humungulous: Thanks I'll give it a try. That's pretty much what I did, just there were a few things missing | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | haux: no /dev/sdc1 is the block device, you mount the block device and you can access the data etc, you manipulate that | 00:26 |
| Afzal | glen_3b, thanks! ... you're in the root group, is that by default? | 00:26 |
| glen_3b | Afzal: no | 00:27 |
| haux | Alright, I'll reboot back into ubuntu here in a few minutes to see what the mount point is and give it a try. Thank you. | 00:27 |
| glen_3b | Afzal: At least as far as I remember, no | 00:27 |
| humungulous | Canadian1296: some dependency is missing thats whats causing the erro message youre seeing | 00:27 |
| humungulous | *error | 00:27 |
| Afzal | glen_3b, yeah just confirming, thanks | 00:27 |
| supermun | should i take a ticket and wait haha? | 00:27 |

| ariel` | but theres 2 of them what do i do next | 00:35 |

| Canadian1296 | humungulous: But if I try as a user that is not in the group sftphosting then it succeeds, so I'm guessing it's the fact they're bound to /var/www/hosting but there is no stfp program in that directory (or something like that) | 00:43 |

| Afzal | advise* | 00:45 |
| humungulous | Canadian1296: are you doing identical to that? | 00:45 |
| tlhonmey | mister2: That's going to depend almost entirely on how much bandwidth it uses. Most games I've seen run ok on dialup, but downloading update packs may take an unreasonable amount of time. | 00:45 |

| Oer | kihlim, 11.10 oneiric ocelot | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | kihlim: Oneiric Ubuntu has Gnome preinstalled... | 00:51 |
| vindav | ActionParsnip: Output is: oneiric I'll be back in a half an hour | 00:51 |
| dmj726 | Did the keyboard shortcuts for switching workspaces just get changed in 12.04? | 00:51 |
| kihlim | ok will try it then | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dmj726: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Pre-release support | 00:52 |
| kihlim | lol thats the same that i have now | 00:53 |
| motherbrain | to make the analogy a percentage breakdown for browsers is here http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp only about .8% of people are using something different the chrome , IE , or firefox. (maybe they are using lynx,link ,links ,...etc lol :) their are alot but not very much used other then the 3 major players in browsers) GOT TO BE SITE EQUIVALENT FOR THE NETWORK HARDWARE | 00:53 |
| kihlim | but my doesnt have gnome preinstalled | 00:53 |
| Canadian1296 | humungulous: The only things I can think of are a) The way I created the user, b) The fact the user's home is /var/www/hosting/rutger as opposed to /home/rutger, c) The fact they are bound to /var/www/hosting/rutger but that directory has no shell or sftp programs in it d) the ownerships. | 00:54 |
| humungulous | Canadian1296: well lets eliminate those | 00:54 |
| humungulous | Canadian1296: first test, set up one as /home/<user> and see if it works | 00:54 |
| Canadian1296 | humungulous: Okay one sec. | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kihlim: it does, unity is just a shell. It uses Gnome desktop by default | 00:55 |
| kihlim | ok is there any distrubution witth the gnome shell preinstalled? | 00:56 |
| Canadian1296 | humungulous: The guide says to use "sudo useradd -d /home/bob -s /usr/lib/sftp-server -M -N -g sftphosting bob" but since some of those options are ambigous, itt translates to "sudo useradd /home/bob --shell /usr/lib/sftp-server -N --group sftphosting --disable-login home" I imagine the "--disable-login" may cause some issues... | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kihlim: just install gnome-shell it's in the repos | 00:57 |
| humungulous | Canadian1296: well you can verify the result in /etc/passwd | 00:57 |
| RenatoSilva | tlhonmey: ok asked there | 00:57 |
| humungulous | Canadian1296: (dont paste that here though for christ sake) | 00:57 |
| kihlim | its not just for me | 00:57 |
| Canadian1296 | humungulous: It's "rutgerdehann:x:1001:1001:Rutger De Hann,,,:/var/www/hosting/rutger:/bin/false" (see? I only posted the important line :) ) | 00:58 |
| crystaltv | any online poker players here? Ihave questions about ubuntu and running an xp kvm so I can still play.. | 00:58 |
| humungulous | hehehe | 00:58 |
| humungulous | technically the hashed pw is in /etc/shadow | 00:58 |
| tlhonmey | crystaltv: Well, the first question is whether ubuntu will work with the site in question... It does with lots of them... | 00:58 |
| tlhonmey | crystaltv: you could eliminate the extra setup if it does. | 00:59 |
| humungulous | what is you make shell /usr/lib/sftp-server again | 00:59 |
| humungulous | is=if | 00:59 |
| RenatoSilva | unity runs on top of gnome 3 libs right? so it runs gtk 3? is gtk 3 backwards compatible with gtk 2? | 00:59 |
| crystaltv | tlhonmey: I am in the US so I can only play on the Merge network.. and have tried to install the clients under wine and they dont run | 00:59 |
| tlhonmey | RenatoSilva: In terms of programs it's supposed to be backward compatible. | 00:59 |
| Canadian1296 | humungulous: I'll create a new user with those option, minus the --disable-login | 00:59 |
| humungulous | ok | 01:00 |
| RenatoSilva | tlhonmey: and in terms of what it's not? | 01:00 |
| kihlim | ok any other good distrobotion with gnome preinstalled? | 01:00 |
| humungulous | Canadian1296: i never use useradd i always mess around in /etc/passwd and /etc/groups and issue /sbin/pwconv and /sbin/grpconv after | 01:01 |
| tlhonmey | Configuration files are probably different in some places. I haven't done a detailed comparison. | 01:01 |
| humungulous | er, /usr/sbin/pwconv and /usr/sbin/grpconv i should have said | 01:01 |
| tlhonmey | kihlim: Linux Mint, and Fedora come to mind. Personally I like Mint better. | 01:01 |
| lorecaster | Any new takers (REally don't mean to bother, but I'm trying to do a transcription for work and REALLY need soudncard drivers) | 01:01 |
| Canadian1296 | humungulous: Okay I ran "sudo useradd --home /home/bob --shell /usr/lib/sftp-server -N --group sftphosting bob" then "sudo passwd bob" and then tried logging into sftp as him. Still got broken pipe | 01:01 |
| humungulous | googling | 01:02 |
| kihlim | ok will try install them instead | 01:02 |
| Canadian1296 | humungulous: k | 01:02 |
| tlhonmey | crystaltv: the merge network site is saying that they're not accepting US players... | 01:02 |

| tlhonmey | crystaltv: Ok. Lock poker and Carbon Poker say they support Linux... | 01:04 |
| tlhonmey | crystaltv: Otherwise, virtualbox runs a pretty good Virtual Machine if you have a license for Windows. | 01:04 |
| humungulous | someones entire wiki about it here http://wiki.lapipaplena.org/index.php/How_to_mount_SFTP_accesses | 01:04 |
| crystaltv | tlhonmey: I did not know that as I play on Blackchip, IronDuke and PokerHost | 01:05 |
| humungulous | phew... glad im not you | 01:05 |
| crystaltv | tlhonmey and I do have a license for windows so I guess virtual box is the way to go.. as I also run Holdem Manager so I would have to install it on the VB image | 01:05 |
| tlhonmey | crystaltv: If you need any help setting it up, feel free to let me know. | 01:06 |
| vindav | ActionParsnip: ok, I'm back. | 01:06 |

| tlhonmey | immediately: virtualbox requires a kernel module. dkms will automatically recompile that module when you update your kernel. | 01:12 |
| immediately | Is it possible to create a VM inside a VM using VirtualBox? or do I need to install VMWare inside the guest? | 01:12 |

| CyFus | urfr332g0 I have the swap partition at 9gb on an 8gb system, its on an areca raid-0 | 01:22 |
| histo | ubuntu_: you have to mount the other partition before you can write to it | 01:22 |

| CyFus | its on an mbr table as a primary partiton | 01:22 |

| martian | Roasted: you may need to dive in to editing the xorg config | 01:22 |
| NyLes | humungulous: none? | 01:23 |
| vindav | ActionParsnip: I don't think so other than the updates from "Update Manager" that are so generally done for the newbie (me). | 01:24 |
| humungulous | NyLes: issue "locate autoconf.h" | 01:24 |

| ubuntu_ | histo is there anyway to take ownership of a file from a live cd | 01:26 |

Although, I ended up formatting one of the partitions, and after the format, the user was reset back to root. I wonder why this happens? This did not occur in my previous install of ubuntu. Not a problem, just odd to me. | 01:28 |
| histo | ubuntu_: well if the partition you are copying to is mounted read only that could be your problem. | 01:29 |
| NyLes | humungulous: the last line says hacking autoconf.h is is successful? | 01:29 |

| ubottu | Guest84784: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | skypce: set it to what? The question is non-sensical... | 01:45 |
| skypce | ActionParsnip, i want launch slingshot launcher with super key | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | skypce: do you use desktop effects? | 01:49 |
| skypce | yes , i use compiz | 01:49 |
| === Guest84784 is now known as fukinroot | ||
| skypce | yes , i use compiz, ActionParsnip | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | skypce: compiz can manage shortcuts in the commands bit, you assign a command to a sot, then make a shortcut for that slot and it will run. Not sure you can have just Super on it's own | 01:50 |
| skypce | i was trying with gconf-editor and ccsm | 01:51 |
| skypce | but nothing | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | skypce: ccsm is where is is set | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcut | 01:51 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://ubottu.com/y/shortcuts | 01:51 |

| grendal-prime | I got a blue ray player drive recognizes the movie disk..but...wont play it | 02:00 |
| vindav | ActionParsnip: we'll...what do you use as a browser that uses a cloud like Xmarks to effectively keep or modify your bookmarks you want across your whole network ? | 02:00 |
| undeclaredx | I added a port number to /etc/services, then a rule to /etc/hosts.allow, but it is still refusing connections.. Anyone have a clue why? | 02:00 |
| grendal-prime | recognizes the title...i can browse the file structure | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | vindav: what are cloud like xmarks ? | 02:00 |
| Jake_J | zykotick9: No, crossover as in sending bass content below a certain frequency to a subwoofer | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | vindav: thats not special, opera has had centrally stored bookmarks for ages! chromium also does it no problem. | 02:01 |
| zykotick9 | undeclaredx: /etc/host.allow or host.deny is unlikely to work for any service you might be running. | 02:01 |
| zykotick9 | Jake_J: ok, sorry. Obviously i have no idea. Good luck. | 02:02 |
| vindav | ActionParsnip: Xmarks is from Mozilla that supports Firefox in that you can log into it from any computer using Firefox and download or upload to the server. Oh, I didn't know that Chrome and Opera have the same feature. How do I go about getting those features in them as they are my back up browsers ? | 02:02 |

| tyler | is there a way to completely remove the unity bar in ubuntu 11.10? | 02:14 |
| urfr332gO | tyler, and have what it is a plugin in compiz so yes. | 02:15 |
| tobias234 | you can install classic ubuntu | 02:15 |
| xangua | !nounity | tyler | 02:15 |
| ubottu | tyler: 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 | 02:15 |
| urfr332gO | tyler, not sure what else will disappear though. | 02:16 |
| eggzeck | I'm not really liking unity either. | 02:16 |

| poincare101 | Hi everyone. I'm currently dual booting ubuntu and windows 7. Now, my ubuntu install got bricked (update went wrong), so, I want to reinstall, but, I want it to write over my old parition, can ubuntu do that? | 02:44 |
| chuck_ | poincare101: yes | 02:44 |
| poincare101 | chuck_: directly for the instaler? | 02:44 |
| aboxorg | chuck_, do you have an asus laptop, I have the same issue. | 02:44 |
| chuck_ | poincare101: just do a manual partition and format the correct partition | 02:44 |
| orangepnut | When I use the Gnome setting when I login to Ubuntu the top bar is this neon blue color and all the text is distorted and unreadable, how do I fix this? | 02:44 |
| chuck_ | aboxorg: nope, its a custom desktop | 02:45 |
| Gaming4JC | Hey all, I'd like to know if it's possible to run two hard-drives on one computer at the same time. Rather than dual-boot. Then just use a VNC to view my windows box. Possible? :) | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | poincare101: use custom partitioning and set the system partition for formatting and use it ext4 as / | 02:45 |
| chuck_ | poincare101: it'll reinstall grub, but it should auto detect your win7 install | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | poincare101: obviously leave your ntfs partition alone and if you have a different partition for /home then tell the installer to use the partition as ext4 but NOT format it | 02:45 |
| Gaming4JC | It's the best way I can break my windows habbit, by using Ubuntu all the time, and moving to windows when absolutely nesccary. :P | 02:46 |
| aboxorg | Gaming4JC, why not just run windows inside a VM (virtualbox?) inside linux. Then you can make snap-shots so you can revert back when you get a virus :P | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaming4JC: you'd need to virtualize one | 02:46 |
| Gaming4JC | I've done that | 02:46 |
| Gaming4JC | but it doesn't run certain things | 02:46 |
| Gaming4JC | e.g. video editing software | 02:46 |
| Gaming4JC | :/ | 02:46 |
| FloodBot1 | Gaming4JC: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:46 |
| aboxorg | not happen with performance? | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaming4JC: what do you use VNC to achieve? Why do you connect to the system? | 02:46 |
| poincare101 | ActionParsnip: so, it will be able to recover my data?! | 02:46 |
| poincare101 | ActionParsnip: I would love if it could do that | 02:47 |
| Gaming4JC | ActionParsnip: nothing yet, currently I dual boot. I would like to be able to VNC into another HDD and play on Windows | 02:47 |
| chuck_ | poincare101: if /home is on its own partition | 02:47 |
| chuck_ | which IS recommended | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | poincare101: 1. Yes, boot to liveCD and you can access the data there and copy to a different storage temporarily. and 2. Why do you NOT have a backup?? | 02:47 |
| aboxorg | I run win7 inside ubuntu and I have access to everything I've tried. I can run wow, grab youtube vid's and convert them. Not happy with performance? | 02:47 |
| poincare101 | chuck_: whoever had that idea needs to be given lots of money | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaming4JC: for the video editting i'm guessing..? | 02:47 |
| Gaming4JC | aboxorg: and DirectX applications | 02:47 |
| Gaming4JC | ? | 02:47 |
| Gaming4JC | ActionParsnip: right | 02:48 |
| chuck_ | Gaming4JC: no you can't run two OSes on the same computer at the same time | 02:48 |
| chuck_ | poincare101: errr? its a pretty common thing to do | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaming4JC: not tried any of the many native video editors in Ubuntu? | 02:48 |
| Gaming4JC | ActionParsnip: I have, but none of them offer multi-layers + effects that are required | 02:48 |
| Gaming4JC | e.g. Chroma Key and manual key animation | 02:48 |
| chuck_ | poincare101: wait til you discover you can format /dev/ramX devices ;) | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Gaming4JC: I see | 02:49 |
| aboxorg | Not really sure. What does WoW use? I tried that before. It's kinda why I did it at first. | 02:49 |
| chuck_ | aboxorg: what does WoW use for what? | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | aboxorg: you can run WoW very well in wine, its the top rated app in the appdb | 02:49 |
| Gaming4JC | try running Sony Vegas Movie Studio or Adobe Premier in Wine | 02:49 |
| Gaming4JC | :p | 02:49 |
| chuck_ | aboxorg: I recommend trying crossover if wine is too difficult of time consuming | 02:50 |
| chuck_ | Gaming, adobe stuff normally works in wine | 02:50 |
| Gaming4JC | I definately need a windows box on occassion, it's just frustating having to dual-boot or virtually once you've tried VNC :| | 02:50 |
| chuck_ | Gaming, you can always check the wine desktop | 02:50 |
| chuck_ | wine database* | 02:51 |
| Gaming4JC | yeah I've done that | 02:51 |
| Gaming4JC | codecs etc are missing during rendering | 02:51 |
| chuck_ | Gaming, crossover database? | 02:51 |
| Gaming4JC | not tried Crossover | 02:51 |
| aboxorg | thanks | 02:51 |
| chuck_ | Gaming, crossover is wine but with some non-free stuff added, including some codecs | 02:51 |
| Gaming4JC | I would prefer to keep my linux distro free of non-free though. Seems wrong. xD | 02:52 |
| chuck_ | Gaming, well if you are installing non-free software in wine, then that kills that idea to start with | 02:52 |
| xangua | Gaming4JC: then you wouldn't use ubuntu, do you feel dirty now? | 02:52 |
| xangua | :P | 02:53 |

| macele | So I can transfer at 10MB/s with smbclient but only at 4MB/s with ubuntu's cifs kernel implementation. I read that this is due to the kernel not allowing asynchronous transfers. Does anyone have any idea how one might allow async between clients w/o using smbclient or know when the kernel will be patched to allow this? | 02:57 |
| chuck_ | ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=647692055976f86e9a581f0bc906defa7ec47ff6 | 02:57 |

| ActionParsnip | starn: cool, then connect and you can run commands and junk. you are not telnetted to the service so you will need to telnet to localhost for that | 03:04 |
| Ubuntunub | Hello everyone. Anyone care to play another round of "I'm an simple minded novice and barely learned how to sort of move around directories via terminal, and need to know how to add rulesets to iptables"? Cookies promised to those patient enough to babysit me through it. | 03:06 |
| orlok | Ubuntunub: use gufw | 03:07 |
| tyler_ | which should i use, class GNOME or XFCE? | 03:08 |
| tyler_ | classic GNOME* | 03:08 |
| xangua | whatever you want | 03:08 |
| Ubuntunub | orlok: I'd prefer to learn via the terminal if at all possible. I have the ruleset that I want to use, just can't seem to figure out *how* I go about editing the current one (which is default and of course blank). | 03:09 |
| starn | is it true 64bit ubuntu can install 32bit applications now? | 03:10 |
| orlok | Ubuntun.. probably best to ask google for the specifics then, better teacher than i am. | 03:10 |
| orangepnut | ActionParsnip, I entered the commands you had said and now the menu bar is still distorted just a different color | 03:11 |
| zykotick9 | starn: "typically" yes (i just hope your not talking about zsnes) | 03:11 |
| Ubuntunub | orlok: I just realized that a help option was staring me in the face. Thumbing through it now. :) | 03:11 |

| urfr332gO | Gaming4JC, if you don't just install as a dual boot you will not get the the full use. | 03:14 |
| Mayazcherquoi | Grr, screw this. Time for a reinstall. | 03:14 |
| starn | zykotick9: no.. i use an emulator on my phone for snes games. | 03:14 |
| urfr332gO | Gaming4JC, what I mean and use it as a reular OS. | 03:15 |

| === yeonhoo_ is now known as yeonhoo | ||
| bjrohan | ActionParsnip: Not sure what I did (brute force) but I got my computers to connect via SSH, in nautilus. How do I make sure Nautilus connects every time it opens? | 03:29 |
| xauth | tintoy: if you rsync over ssh, you could configure ssh to use a different port. | 03:29 |
| martian | tintoy: an example that I think may work: rsync -rav ./somedirectory martian@server.com:12345/home/martian/ | 03:30 |
| Ubuntunub | Do I have to use sudo anytime I want to use nano to edit a file? | 03:30 |
| tintoy | xauth:this is my case, I want to pull somefiles from a remote server using port 2300 | 03:31 |
| zykotick9 | Ubuntunub: only if it's a system file | 03:31 |
| martian | Ubuntunub: only if it is a system file. If it's in your home directory you shouldn't (have to) | 03:31 |
| tintoy | martian:this is my case, I want to pull somefiles from a remote server using port 2300 | 03:31 |
| Ubuntunub | It's iptables.rules -- so I assume it would fall under the system files restriction. :) | 03:31 |
| Ubuntunub | Thanks. | 03:31 |
| martian | tintoy: well then based on the example I posted you should be able to; just swap the second and third parameter and change the port, path, user, and host | 03:31 |
| tintoy | martian:I will post my command check if it is correct | 03:32 |
| tintoy | martian:rsync -av rsync://root@www.trendy.org:2300/var/www/inv2010/* /var/www/main/ | 03:34 |

| marcosroriz | Hi guys. I'm still using ubuntu natty (11.04), the main reason is because I found the complete lib transition (libgtk2 -> libgtk3) in oneiric too buggy. I was wondering what is the current 'status' of oneiric, is it buggy? Is gnome 3 currently more 'customizable'? | 03:36 |
| linocisco | is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? | 03:36 |
| Pikkachu | marcosroriz: I was annoyed by unity at natty and oneiric but I decided to reinstall from scratch after several years...now I'm just trying things out...I'm giving unity a chance, been doing a few customizations... it's not annoyingly buggy from my experience | 03:38 |
| ActionParsnip | marcosroriz: its got a bit better, what you think may be different to what I see as ok. Have you maybe tried a different DE... | 03:38 |
| klenwell | Hi. Has anyone here successfully installed the ADT (Android Dev Tool) plugin for Eclipse on Ubuntu 11.10? I'm having some trouble. | 03:38 |
| marcosroriz | I kinda like unity in natty, because gnome2 is way stable and customizable than gnome 3. | 03:38 |
| ActionParsnip | marcosroriz: Natty is fully supported til October so I wouldn't worry a lot | 03:38 |
| Pikkachu | marcosroriz: customizations are sometimes dumb I think | 03:39 |
| martian | tintoy: try getting rid of the "rsync://" | 03:39 |
| marcosroriz | ActionParsnip, thanks :D | 03:39 |
| marcosroriz | Pikkachu, yeah, in fact I've been using (gnu/)linux for > 6 years and for the first time I only changed the wallpaper | 03:40 |
| marcosroriz | Really liked the default 'look' of ubuntu natty | 03:40 |
| sgo11 | how to change umask for all users? set it in /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc or any other files? thanks. | 03:40 |
| martian | marcosroriz: ditto. Never been more pleased with a default theme. | 03:41 |
| richard_ | change it in /etc/skel/.profile | 03:41 |
| marcosroriz | :) | 03:42 |
| linocisco | is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? | 03:43 |
| Pikkachu | martian: sorry are you named after the martian modem driver? | 03:43 |
| martian | Pikkachu: haha afraid not | 03:43 |
| Pikkachu | martian, marcosroriz: default background is buggy though... I like setting the login screen background the same as my user...but there are duplicated references: the locked screen background still keeps as the original one of login screen or such | 03:45 |
| Pikkachu | martian: ah ok nevermind | 03:45 |
| marcosroriz | I'm cool with the gdm bg (using natty here). Used few times lightdm. | 03:46 |
| linocisco | is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? | 03:46 |
| Pikkachu | marcosroriz: I used to change bg and theme for gdm, now I need to deal with this lightdm... | 03:47 |
| marcosroriz | oh well, I'll probably change when precise launch | 03:47 |
| Pikkachu | marcosroriz: when precise launch? | 03:48 |

| roger | hello | 03:48 |
| marcosroriz | someday of april (this year) | 03:48 |
| chipotle | hi, i am trying to setup ubuntu, and i have 5 hdd's installed. i would like to use the 750gb drive like this: partition 1: 100gb / ext3, partition 2: 100gb ntfs for windows 7 dual boot and the rest for /home. then the rest of the drives, i want to use to store media on them (this is a file server) | 03:49 |
| chipotle | so what should i do? | 03:49 |
| urfr332gO | chipotle, I would put wundows first on the drive. | 03:50 |
| Pikkachu | marcosroriz: ah you mean you'll just wait 12.04 for customizing it? I see | 03:50 |
| chipotle | should i partition the other drives later? | 03:50 |
| urfr332gO | windows* | 03:50 |
| chipotle | so the first partition ntfs? the second ext3 and in the / position? | 03:50 |
| marcosroriz | Pikkachu, not only that but because until there gnome 3 will have more tools to customize and be more stable | 03:50 |
| urfr332gO | chipotle, any reason for ext3 | 03:50 |
| Pikkachu | marcosroriz: sounds nice... I just hope it doesn't mess with dist-upgraters from oneiric | 03:51 |
| chipotle | urfr332gO: well, what are you recommending? | 03:51 |
| marcosroriz | :) | 03:51 |
| urfr332gO | chipotle, ext3 is okay the default is ext4 in ubuntu | 03:51 |
| orlok | I'm trying to create a suid root copy of bash under ubuntu | 03:52 |
| orlok | .. its not working, even after i remounted / without nosuid | 03:52 |
| chipotle | urfr332gO: well, the point was so windows could view the partition and i don't know if it can read+write ext4, but it can ext3 | 03:52 |
| orlok | Also, with nosuid, how does su work? | 03:52 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: Making a setuid root copy of bash sounds like an absolutely *terrible* idea. | 03:52 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: it can't read linux partitions | 03:53 |
| urfr332gO | chipotle, on this channel and in general a shared ntfs is preferred. | 03:53 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: i know, its to test whether a security auditing package will pick it up. | 03:53 |
| linocisco | is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? | 03:53 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: it can with http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 03:53 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: what do you mean what should you do? you should implement what you just described, no? | 03:53 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: OK. You had me concerned there for a moment :) | 03:53 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: However, the fact that i cant actually do it has me confused now. Also, how the hell DOES su work with a partition mounted nosuid | 03:53 |
| chipotle | urfr332gO: so, should i just partition the one drive right now, the 750gb and then come back to the four other drives at a later date? | 03:54 |
| roger | simba | 03:54 |
| linocisco | is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me? | 03:54 |
| chipotle | meaning, once i have ubuntu running | 03:54 |
| chipotle | can i continue /home on several different drives if one runs out of space... | 03:54 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: I was thinking it would be a 30 second test | 03:54 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: cool, is it reliable? last time I checked all apps supposed to do that looked dumb | 03:54 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: yeah, i have heard good things | 03:54 |
| orlok | chipotle: yeah, many ways of doing it | 03:54 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: How did you mount the partition as nosuid? | 03:54 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: installed ubuntu. | 03:55 |
| chipotle | orlok: what do you recommend? i ahve two 3TB drives that i want to also use as /home, can i do that in the installer? | 03:55 |
| urfr332gO | chipotle, all I would recommend is windows first on any of the drives it is easier to repair this way, and a shred ntfs wherever you want and the ubuntu where ever you want. | 03:55 |
| urfr332gO | shared* | 03:55 |
| orlok | chipotle: i dont remember sorry, but probably as a mirror | 03:56 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: ubuntu mounted it nosuid by default | 03:56 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: do you want to mount different partitions at the same /home mounting point? @@ | 03:56 |
| chipotle | well, can i have multiple drives mount point be /home ? | 03:56 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: Why do you think that? | 03:57 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: well, i have 5TB of ~/Movies, so preferably, when i run out on my one 3TB drive, the second 3TB drive can pick right up where i left off | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: you could use lvms and make one 'drive' from the 2 combined | 03:57 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: I've never heard of it | 03:57 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: Looking at the mounted filesystems. | 03:57 |
| administrator | hello | 03:57 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: Can you pastebin the exact command and output that leads you to believe this? | 03:57 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest76807 | ||
| Guest76807 | ? | 03:57 |
| Pikkachu | ActionParsnip: cool | 03:58 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: No, since i remounted / nosuid since then | 03:58 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: However my 4755 chmodded copy of bash owned by root/root still doesnt fire off as root! | 03:58 |
| chipotle | ActionParsnip: oh, i'd prefer not use LVM | 03:58 |
| chipotle | so what should i select as the mount point for the other hard drives, ActionParsnip ? | 03:58 |
| Pikkachu | ActionParsnip, chipotle may also consider just using ntfs and symlinks | 03:58 |
| L3top | raid. | 03:58 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: You are mistaken about Ubuntu mounting / as nosuid by default. | 03:59 |
| chipotle | do i need to select a mount point? | 03:59 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: Ok. I am running 10.04 lts if it makes a difference, anyway.. but it doesnt explain my issues running a suid copy of bash | 03:59 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: what filesystem will they be? | 03:59 |
| administrator_ | ? | 04:00 |
| chipotle | how come i can't select an ntfs under "use as" in the installer? | 04:00 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: What is the output of "ls -l /bin/bash" ? | 04:00 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: ext3 | 04:00 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: /bin/bash or my suid copy? | 04:00 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: Your suid copy. | 04:00 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 818232 2012-02-24 10:17 /bin/dodgybash | 04:01 |
| orlok | 4755 and root.root | 04:01 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: What is the output of "/bin/dodgybash -c whoami"? | 04:02 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: stuff are usually mounted in /media/desired_name but you can use any place you want | 04:02 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: myusername | 04:02 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: oh, so i can name the mount point whatever i want? | 04:02 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: yes | 04:02 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: how come i don't have the ntfs option in the installer? | 04:02 |
| chipotle | how can i install win7 if i don't have an ntfs partition as the first partition | 04:03 |
| L3top | you will want to install windows before ubuntu. | 04:04 |
| martian | chipotle: you may want to install win7 first as if you install it second it will likely overwrite grub | 04:04 |
| chipotle | oh, really? | 04:04 |
| chipotle | i didn't know that | 04:04 |
| chipotle | martian: thanks :) | 04:04 |
| L3top | oh ches | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: the NTFS doesn't have to be the first partition | 04:04 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: in my case, I have a reiserfs which is / and two ntfs partitions, one is windows and the other a data partition. For those I'm using "udisks --mount /dev/sdaX" when logging in (session apps), that command will create a /media/mount_point_according_to_ntfs_partition_label_dynamically | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: just install and leave unpartitioned space, you can then install ubuntu to the empty space | 04:05 |
| chipotle | ActionParsnip: okay | 04:05 |
| L3top | but it does want first crack at the mbr | 04:05 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: 11.10 installer? not sure but the advanced option gives you access to a partition manager which isn't really that hard to go through | 04:06 |
| chipotle | ActionParsnip: what would you recommend, i have a 500GB HDD, and two 3TB drives | 04:06 |
| chipotle | how would you recommend i install ubuntu on them (sans the 100GB i'll leave for windows7) | 04:06 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: Seems like bash may have a feature of some sort to try to protect stupid users. Doing the same with /bin/dash works as expected. | 04:07 |
| jardineworks | has anyone here done an install on the Alenware m17x? | 04:07 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: And to be clear, I am (as you should be) only doing this in a virtual machine. (In fact, I'm doing it in a VM using a LiveCD image only). | 04:07 |
| jardineworks | I'm curious how much success was had .. and with which version | 04:08 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: is gparted on the install disc? | 04:08 |
| linocisco | how to disable sleeping monitor screen on server version if there is no X windows? | 04:09 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: are you taking about 11.10? it uses some other app but gparted is yet available in the repos | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: look into lvms, if you want to keep them seperate, you can mount them at boot and have symlinks pointing to the mount points. This will reduce data loss if a drive dies (less to resore from backup) | 04:09 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: yes 11.10 | 04:09 |
| chipotle | ActionParsnip: i did LVM once and it was a disaster | 04:10 |
| probo | I just swapped my motherboard and need to install the new drivers, I'm booted in a rescue terminal, how do I tell ubuntu to grab whatever drivers it needs? | 04:10 |
| chipotle | ActionParsnip: i can't have an easy way to install a 100GB / and the rest on /home (and a swap partition)? | 04:10 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: windows does not give a damn about other oses you may be using and overwrites MBR. So install windows first then boot from live cd, or install it later then reinstalls grub onto the MBR | 04:10 |
| chipotle | then the second 3TB drive can be /media | 04:10 |
| Jordan_U | probo: The only drivers which aren't automatically detected and configured at boot would be proprietary drivers (graphics card or possibly wireless card). | 04:11 |
| Jordan_U | probo: What happens when you try to boot normally? | 04:11 |
| probo | Jordan_U: The new mobo has a different ethernet card, it works fine from the install cd but doesn't work when booted from my hard drive. | 04:11 |
| probo | So I don't get network when I boot normaly. | 04:12 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: /media/something_within_it rather | 04:12 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: i'm using gparted first to setup the partition scheme | 04:12 |
| Jordan_U | probo: That's very odd. What is the output of "ifconfig" from the installed system? | 04:12 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: from the livecd? why you didn't go though the normal steps | 04:13 |
| linocisco | how to ip route add according to split access in http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html ? | 04:13 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: i like gparted | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: 100Gb for / is a LOT, you probably won't even need 20Gb. My desktop install is little over 4Gb | 04:13 |
| chipotle | ActionParsnip: okay, so if i do 20GB for /, do i need to make any other partitions besides home? | 04:13 |
| martian | chipotle: I think you would be better off just runnign the windoze installer first, as win7 likes to create its own goofy 100mb partition for some thing or another | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | orlok: You might ask about it in #bash. But if you do, please make sure to immediately include that you are doing this for a test and not actually doing it on a production machine. | 04:13 |
| probo | Jordan_U: It doesn't show eth1 unless I do ifconfig -a, that gives me interrupt code 17, so then I up it and I get some other interrupt code. | 04:13 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: ok so what are your disk sizes and how much you want for windows and linux? how much ram? | 04:14 |
| orlok | Jordan_U: I'd say "I'm the worlds most incompitent script kiddie".. but then, theres no way thats true. | 04:14 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: should be ok with those 3 :) | 04:14 |
| chipotle | third being the unformatted partition for windows 7? | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: Win7, /, swap, /home = 4 partitions | 04:15 |
| chipotle | how much swap do you recommend? | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: how much RAM do you have? | 04:15 |
| chipotle | 8gb | 04:16 |
| Pikkachu | depends on ram as I asked | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: do you need hibernate / suspend? | 04:16 |
| chipotle | um, no, i'll just turn off my monitor | 04:16 |
| chipotle | this will be a fileserver | 04:16 |
| Pikkachu | ActionParsnip: suspend does not require dumping | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: could probably get away with zero then, otherwise 9Gb swap will be fine | 04:16 |
| Ubuntunub | orlok: No, you can't be. I can't even get new rules for iptables to save right, lol. | 04:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Pikkachu: I use it as a generic term, I know its different :) | 04:16 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: how much you're planning for win7? | 04:17 |
| Pikkachu | ActionParsnip: ok | 04:17 |
| probo | Jordan_U: Any ideas? | 04:17 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: 100gb, just to be safe | 04:18 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: given that you have so much space, I'd recommend 100GB ã.ã | 04:18 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: yay lulz | 04:18 |
| Pikkachu | windows goes to mc donalds every day and gets fatter and fatter over time | 04:19 |
| Jordan_U | probo: Check the output of "dmesg" to see if that clarifies the problem. But other than that I don't know. | 04:20 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: okay and now for the other 3TB drive, should i just format it to ext3 and then the mount point /media/movies ? | 04:22 |
| chipotle | and then i can install ubuntu on my 15 GB partition that will be at / | 04:22 |
| probo | Jordan_U: Just says it couldn't find an ipv6 router, huh. I just edited the network conf to change teh eth device from 0 to 1. We'll see if that makes a difference | 04:23 |
| probo | since eth0 isn't present, just eth1 | 04:23 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: I'd use ext4 or reiserfs but if you really want to try out reading it through windows without fear of losing data, sure | 04:23 |
| probo | Jordan_U: Boom! Came right up. | 04:23 |
| ActionParsnip | chipotle: if you use ext3 instead of ext4, you can use partimage to take backups :) | 04:24 |
| Pikkachu | chipotle: why don't you just format it as ntfs instead? | 04:24 |

| Ian-Moone | has anyone else had my problem, or is there something I just did massively wrong? | 04:26 |
| chipotle | Pikkachu: it won't let me save the partition because i am using more blocks than msdos partitions allow | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Pikkachu: if the files are to be shared with samba, ntfs causes all kinds of annoyance | 04:26 |
| Raj84 | Any one want pvt chat | 04:27 |
| L3top | Ian-Moone: What else do you have attached to USB? | 04:27 |
| chipotle | which partition table should i use then if not msdos (Default)? | 04:27 |
| Ian-Moone | I have a WD USB3.0 external hard drive | 04:27 |
| Ian-Moone | ..... not anymore. | 04:27 |
| chipotle | under "select new partition type table" i can choose msdos, aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, pc92, sun, loop | 04:28 |
| L3top | Does the computer lock up, or just the input devices? | 04:28 |
| chipotle | what will let me save large 3TB drive partition schemes? | 04:28 |
| Ian-Moone | Just input devices. | 04:28 |

| Ian-Moone | Actually, my keyboard is PS/2 | 04:28 |
| Vasistha | Ian-Moone: I missed your problem description, but I know that I have had issues with certain usb ports not getting enough power, and that once caused me to think a drive was dying, when the thing was just malfunctioning due to not getting enough power | 04:28 |
| pnorman | I need to install millstone (for node.js) which depends on having sqlite3 >2.0.16 and <2.1.0, how do I install a specific version with apt-get? | 04:28 |
| chipotle | ah | 04:28 |
| pangolin | !guidelines > Raj84 | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Raj84, please see my private message | 04:28 |
| Vasistha | pnorman: I think like this: apt-get millstone =2.0.16 | 04:29 |
| Vasistha | pnorman: you'll need to figure out the specific version you want. Or you can just download the .deb and dpkg -i | 04:29 |
| pnorman | Vasistha: no .deb that I can find for millstone | 04:29 |
| Vasistha | pnorman: then how do you expect apt-get to find it? :) | 04:30 |
| Noobie-LJ | Can anyone help me with sound issues? | 04:30 |
| pnorman | Vasistha: I'm installing sqlite3 through apt-get for millstone | 04:30 |
| xauth | pnorman: apt-cache policy sqlite3 | 04:30 |
| L3top | Ian-Moone: is it just a normal install, or are you running something "unusual" on it? Something which might be scanning USB... say for media or something. | 04:30 |
| Ian-Moone | @Vasistha: I will occasionally click on something (a link, a symlink, a binary, anything, but it can't just be nothing) and everything will continue running, but the keyboard and mouse don't respond. The keyboards scroll lock and caps lock keys flash. | 04:30 |
| xauth | pnorman: then select your version and install with apt-get install sqlite3=2.0.16 | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ian-Moone: have you ran a Memtest from Grub? | 04:31 |
| L3top | good question ActionParsnip | 04:31 |
| Ian-Moone | no. | 04:31 |
| Vasistha | Ian-Moone: oh that's weird. does the keyboard ever resume functioning? | 04:31 |
| pnorman | xauth: It's not finding that version - how do I see what versions are available? | 04:31 |
| Ian-Moone | I usually wait 5 minutes, then reset the system. | 04:31 |
| xauth | pnorman: apt-cache policy sqlite3 | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Ian-Moone: run one, hold shift at boot and select memtest, run it for about 10-15 mins, if you see ANY red some or all of the ram is bad | 04:31 |
| lwizardl | I have a couple of zip files I need to check and match md5sum's from is there an application that i can select the file, tell it was is expected to be the md5 hash and then have it tell me if it matches or not | 04:32 |

| === mint is now known as c31r2g | ||
| ActionParsnip | lwizardl: if you run: md5sum -c filename it will test the hashes of the files in the filename file | 04:32 |
| Ian-Moone | I don't know. I've had trouble with network connections. I could connect to an LAN IRC server, but that's all I've done successfully. | 04:33 |
| xauth | pnorman: But sqlite3 over here is already at 3.7.3 in stable debian. | 04:34 |
| Ian-Moone | It's something wrong with me (too little experience), not the computer or OS installation with my last. | 04:34 |
| Ian-Moone | but I will run the memtest. | 04:34 |
| Ian-Moone | Which one do I run? there are two. | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Ian-Moone: the one thats not serial console | 04:34 |
| Ian-Moone | okay. thanks. | 04:34 |

| CFHowlett | abuss read FCM, choose a project, start learning... http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ | 04:59 |
| possible1994 | Vasistha: Block size alignment optimizes the use of blocks by preventing using, say, 1.0001 blocks (two blocks) to store data | 05:00 |
| abuss | CFHowlett Thank you, appreciate it so much | 05:01 |

| possible1994 | Vasistha: No, I use ubuntu exclusively. I just want to optimize my SSD. | 05:02 |
| abuss | absolutely thanks | 05:02 |
| Vasistha | possible1994: well.. if a file is too big to fit into one block then it is going to have to use two | 05:03 |

| mi3 | yo guys, when I load lshw from terminal it displays all the information but I need it to display only certain type of information like cache, cdrom[only the certain type] | 06:33 |
| CFHowlett | mi3 see grep command | 06:34 |
| mi3 | okay | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mi3: try: sudo lshw -C drive; sudo lshw -C disk | 06:34 |
| mi3 | ohh | 06:34 |

| kriskropd | mi3, gimme a sec , lscpu should ahve that info | 06:43 |
| theadmin | pellos: Because that's not the exit command in vi, esc switches to normal mode. Use :q | 06:43 |
| kriskropd | pellos, hit esc colon and either wq to write quit or q! to just quit | 06:44 |

| urfr332gO | san, where did you get burg from? | 07:03 |
| soreau | fox_: No. This is the official ubuntu support channel. Problems with netcat on windows is in no way a ubuntu issue | 07:03 |

| apporc | Hi, hackers. anyone know the function of 'host' in dhcpd's configuration file? Does it determine the hostname or something else for those clients? | 07:04 |
| soreau | ! ask | fox_ | 07:04 |
| ubuntu | plz reply | 07:04 |
| san | now i tried installing many softwares even upgrading but it says i have held broken packages | 07:04 |
| fox_ | i need to talk privately with someone who knows netcat, ssh, ect; | 07:04 |
| soreau | fox_: No, you don't. Try ##networking | 07:05 |
| san | tried repairing clean confiure -a, -f, nothing working | 07:05 |
| fox_ | ty | 07:05 |
| chipotle | what applications can i use to use ubuntu as a file server? | 07:05 |

| soreau | fox_: or ##linux | 07:05 |
| theadmin | chipotle: Any FTP server pretty much | 07:05 |
| pellos | Guys and a last question.. i installed zend optimiser version 2.2 i need to install version 3 | 07:05 |
| san | urfr332g0, i installed super boot manager | 07:05 |
| chipotle | theadmin: local | 07:05 |
| pellos | what i do in such a case ? | 07:05 |
| kriskropd | chipotle, or samba or nfs | 07:06 |
| pellos | install in a same way the new version? | 07:06 |
| chipotle | theadmin: well, is there a good file manager to view files across various hard drives | 07:06 |
| chipotle | kriskropd: yeah, but is there an interface/application to make it easy? | 07:06 |
| urfr332gO | san, use the tab complete of nics. run sudo apt-get purge burg-pc burg-common that will remove it completly then run sudo grub-instal /dev/sdX the X is the hd your putting grub 2 back in the mbr then run sudo updte-grub | 07:06 |
| san | urfr332g0, is there anyway that i can go back? anything like system restore? | 07:06 |
| kriskropd | chipotle depending ont he protocol, i like Gigolo on my netbook | 07:06 |
| theadmin | chipotle: Uhm... pcmanfm, nautilus, any file manager? | 07:06 |
| ubuntu | koee hai... | 07:07 |
| mi3 | hu na ubuntu | 07:07 |
| san | urfr332g0, u are not getting point my friend my grub2 is running perfectly but burg is not removed properly so it is broken | 07:07 |
| chipotle | where are mounted volumes in ubuntu? /mnt? | 07:07 |
| urfr332gO | san, this is all from inside the running ubuntu the sdX should be sda or sdb depending on what the hd is, no partition number | 07:07 |
| san | urfr332g0, i dont have problem in booting | 07:07 |

| fidel | at least in case you mount manually | 07:08 |

| san | Jordan_u, ok giveme 1 min | 07:08 |

| CFHowlett | lewis1711 if its own part, do not format /home and you should be OK on reinstall. | 07:16 |
| san | Jordan_U: i cannot install or upgrade any other software via internet or through deb file :( i think i will i have to wait for 12.04 then do a format and install | 07:16 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: Not perfect (packages could have been removed after being installed), but should give you a general idea. | 07:16 |
| lewis1711 | CFHowlett: it's not its own partition :( which is the ubuntu default | 07:16 |

| CFHowlett | lewis1711 see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: What are you trying to do to solve that? | 07:18 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: I think it may be from some application I installed. | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: Start by describing your original problem in detail. It's likely that we'll be able to find a better way of solving the problem. | 07:18 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: But I forgot what I installed just before I reboot :P | 07:19 |
| DansTheMan | Oh okay. | 07:19 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: Well, the boot splash disappears and the following comes up: | 07:19 |
| san | Jordan_U: is there anyway i can go back? undo all what i did yesterday? | 07:19 |
| chipotle | and when i try copying over a file i get permission denied, because i didn't create them on this current machine, i took them from another machine... what do i do to get around this? | 07:19 |
| urfr332gO | san, as far as fixing the burg thing you don't have to install. Whats going on with the upgrade or installs it is usually a basic fix? | 07:20 |
| ubuntu | ok i m going...... to quit | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | san: Not a specific "go back to yesterday" command, no (though something like that is actually being worked on using btrfs snapshots). | 07:20 |

| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: Can you get to a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+F1? | 07:20 |
| san | Jordan_U: lols sorry but sad there is and option is windows named System Restore | 07:20 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: That's where I'm at :P | 07:21 |
| kriskropd | chipotle, you likely have permissions mixed up and given to different people, when you move the files, make sure to use 'sudo' to do it as root | 07:21 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: What happens when you run "sudo service lightdm restart"? | 07:21 |
| san | urfr332g0: sorry i dint get what you are trying to tell | 07:21 |
| humungulous | system restore in windows is a joke san | 07:21 |
| chipotle | kriskropd: so if i sudo it, what will the permissions be changed to? | 07:21 |
| chipotle | kriskropd: i want to make sure when i do sudo cp -r it works so when i wake up, it is finished | 07:21 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: "restart: unknown instance" | 07:21 |
| humungulous | no one uses it | 07:21 |
| san | humungulous: why | 07:21 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: But I've just been doing "sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart" | 07:22 |
| kriskropd | chiptole, it wont change them, it will just override them because sudo can do anything :) | 07:22 |
| humungulous | because you fix a problem that presents itself | 07:22 |
| kriskropd | sudo substitues your user to root powers, root is like the god inside your linux | 07:22 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: You should not do that. You should use "sudo service foo {start,stop,restart,foo} | 07:22 |
| k1llj0y | how do i use man chown? | 07:22 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: When doing that, it flashes back to the main tab thingy (dunno the name, default Ctrl+Shift+F7), and the same thing (nothing new is printed) | 07:22 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: I did it on my previous install, not this one though | 07:23 |
| san | humungulous: i dint get you but still there shud be a restore option in ubuntu | 07:23 |
| chipotle | kriskropd: well, should i chown the files to myself first? | 07:23 |
| chipotle | how do i find out what group i am in? | 07:23 |
| mobhero | hi | 07:23 |
| ryoshihono | mobhero: hello how do i install my sound car? | 07:23 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: Reboot and tell me what happens when you use "sudo service lightdm restart" (if that's not too much trouble). | 07:23 |
| CFHowlett | san you have a dell? | 07:23 |
| === undeclaredx is now known as Guest6507 | ||
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: No, all goods :) I just don't want to have to go through another reinstall :P | 07:24 |
| san | CFHolett: no just my moniter is of dell and that doesnt matter i guess | 07:24 |
| kriskropd | chipotle, you don't have to chown the files... are you moving a /home directory to another drive or somethign else? | 07:24 |
| DansTheMan | (which involves taking out the hard drive, and putting it in another laptop) :P | 07:24 |
| san | CFHowlett: why what happened | 07:24 |
| chipotle | kriskropd: it is a drive out of my mac laptop, i want to copy it to this larger drive on my ubuntu machine | 07:25 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: I think it has to do with me installing the medibuntu repositories. | 07:25 |
| CFHowlett | san DELL has restore creator in the software center - I've used it and it works... | 07:25 |
| san | Jordan_U: is there anyway i can force delete or uninstall those 2 themes they ruined my OS | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: If you don't want to spend time on a tangent that's OK, but why do you have to put the hard drive in another laptop to re-install? | 07:25 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: It's a netbook, has no disc drive, and I have no live USB I can use :P | 07:26 |
| san | CFHowlett: Thanks anyways but i dont have dell pc i think i will wait for 12.04 release and make a clean install | 07:26 |
| kriskropd | then yeah, 'sudo cp -r /whatever /mnt/sdb1' will move wherever that drive of yours is to the sdb1 (which i assume is your larger drive) | 07:26 |
| humungulous | DansTheMan: thats what pxe boot is for, or usb | 07:26 |
| CFHowlett | san probably a good idea... | 07:26 |
| san | urfr322g0: is there anyway i can force delete or uninstall those 2 themes? | 07:26 |
| DansTheMan | humungulous: I don't think this netbook supports pxe boot | 07:26 |
| kriskropd | chipotle, you are only copying the files, not modifying them | 07:26 |
| humungulous | DansTheMan: you got a 1gb usb stick | 07:27 |
| DansTheMan | But, I've never tried or set up a pxe boot :P | 07:27 |
| DansTheMan | humungulous: Nope. | 07:27 |
| chipotle | kriskropd: i tried to copy and i'm still getting a permission denied | 07:27 |
| san | ActionParsnip: is there anyway i can force remove those 2 themes? | 07:27 |
| humungulous | wonk wonk | 07:27 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: Same thing, "restart: Unknown instance:" | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: You still have enough of a working system to loop boot an Ubuntu install iso from the internal hard drive :) (but there are no guides that I am aware of that detail this process completely). | 07:27 |
| humungulous | DansTheMan: you got $3 | 07:27 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: Is there a way I can go without having to reinstall? :p | 07:28 |
| kriskropd | chiptole, maybe i need more info :) | 07:28 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: Probably. | 07:28 |
| DansTheMan | humungulous: Yes. But this is the second install it's happened to me. | 07:28 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: What if you just run "sudo service lightdm start"? | 07:28 |
| san | Jordan_U: how is it that my grub is running fine and burg is not removed? | 07:28 |
| chipotle | kriskropd: when i copy it, it still says owned by root and i can't access it... | 07:28 |
| chipotle | so then what, kriskropd ? | 07:28 |
| DansTheMan | Probability states it will probably happen over and over again | 07:28 |
| Jordan_U | san: It's only the package which is not removed. | 07:28 |
| kriskropd | chipotle, sudo wont let you move root files around? | 07:29 |
| san | Jordan_U: anyway i can force remove? manually delete files? uninstall? something????? | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | san: We may be able to do some ugly hacks to get the packages removed. | 07:29 |
| chipotle | kriskropd: the file i am taking it from isn't a root file; the file was made on an entirely diferent computer and network | 07:29 |
| san | Jordan_U: what does that mean? | 07:29 |
| kriskropd | chipotle, I don't see how that should make the file immovable if it is being accessed by your machine by root | 07:30 |
| chipotle | kriskropd: i moved it but i can't access it because now it is owned by root | 07:30 |
| Jordan_U | san: First, and hopefully this is all that needs to be done (but not likely) try running "sudo mkdir -p /boot/burg/locale/" then "sudo apt-get -f install". | 07:30 |
| chipotle | so how do i change it to be owned by my user ? | 07:30 |
| humungulous | chipotle: so maniuplate it via sudo | 07:30 |
| kriskropd | chiptole, I'm not sure then, if you can't do it with sudo, something is very weird :P | 07:30 |
| urfr332gO | Jordan_U, if it is the ppa install unless it is fragmented and standard remove works or just go into nautilus a root and remove it it is just a version of grub2 is all | 07:30 |
| step_offset | chipotle: chown | 07:31 |
| humungulous | chipotle: sudo chown <somefile> <youruser> | 07:31 |
| san | what if i delete all such files from my pc? i go to places where it is installed and delete manualy? deleting files willl work? it works in windows sometimes some corrupt software can be manually deleted | 07:31 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: Do you think Medibuntu is the cause? | 07:31 |
| Jordan_U | urfr332gO: That sentence did not make sense to me. Could you please rephrase it? | 07:31 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: I doubt it, but it's possible. | 07:31 |
| mosno | why does unity2d show 4 workspaces in a 2x2 layout when clicking the workspaces dock icon, but when using the keyboard it is a 1x4 row? | 07:32 |
| chipotle | humungulous: and can i do that before i copy the files via sudo? | 07:32 |
| Jordan_U | san: No, the problem you have right now is more with the package manager being in an incosistent state (because of poorly written packages) than any problem with the files installed by the packages. | 07:32 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: I used this guide to install the repository: http://medibuntu.org/repository.php , instead of the more simpler way using Ubuntu's GUI. | 07:32 |
| urfr332gO | Jordan_U, it is normally removed with sudo apt-get purge burg-pc burg-common, or just go to where its at in root and remove it. | 07:32 |
| humungulous | chipotle: i missed the earlier part of the conversation so i lack context | 07:32 |
| urfr332gO | Jordan_U, burg is grub 2 in drag basically. | 07:33 |
| chipotle | humungulous: i have a hard drive from a different machine, different network and different users that i want to copy the entire contents over to my ubuntu machine and specific hard drive... | 07:33 |
| humungulous | chipotle: what kind of filesystem | 07:33 |
| san | Jordan_U: ok but still any way? i tried clean but dint work any way to clean package manager? | 07:34 |
| humungulous | chipotle: do you want to do it over the network or physically cable it in | 07:34 |
| humungulous | im missing all this | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | urfr332gO: The problem is that san has packages burg-theme-autumn burg-theme-magic which are half configured. These half configured packages cannot be removed due to errors in the postins / postrm scripts and that is breaking dpkg as a whole. | 07:34 |
| chipotle | humungulous: both drives are inside my server | 07:34 |
| humungulous | ok | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | san: Did you see my previous suggestion with mkdir -p? | 07:34 |
| humungulous | so | 07:34 |
| chipotle | humungulous: hfs+ (mac) to my ext4 fs in the ubuntu box | 07:34 |
| humungulous | chipotle: steps are (1) mount the filesystem using the mount command | 07:34 |
| humungulous | chipotle: (2) copy the files with cp -r | 07:35 |
| san | urfr332g0: and now i am feeling very guilty why i tried to replace simple grub with some graphical burg | 07:35 |
| san | Jordan_U: yes | 07:35 |
| humungulous | chipotle: (3) then you can umount the foreign filesystem | 07:35 |
| Jordan_U | san: Did you try it? | 07:35 |
| humungulous | chipotle: (4) then you can change permissions and ownerships of your copied content using chmod and chown as necessary | 07:35 |
| noodlr | hi | 07:35 |
| urfr332gO | Jordan_U, cool your more experienced here. | 07:36 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: Damn, same thing :( | 07:36 |
| doc-saintly | I have a 3tb external drive i'm trying to use as the backup for a DD operation, but it keeps saying permission denied even though I'm using sudo | 07:36 |
| DansTheMan | :'( | 07:36 |
| doc-saintly | Any ideas? | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: you can edit the postrm files to be logically ineffective. I believe there are guides for removing stubborn packages. You essentially just have an empty if statement and the set -e | 07:36 |
| kieppie | hi all. how stable/unstable is 12.04? I have a desktop system I want to set up that I'll be using as my primary for a while & need to know if it's stable enough for daily use? | 07:36 |
| chipotle | humungulous: so one big chown would be fine? | 07:36 |
| humungulous | chipotle: chown -R will recurse | 07:37 |
| step_offset | 12.04 is out? | 07:37 |
| kriskropd | doc-saintly, you did mount it first right? | 07:37 |
| llutz_ | kieppie: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 | 07:37 |
| ActionParsnip | doc-saintly: is the dest mounted? | 07:37 |
| san | http://pastebin.com/NJ699Xcg | 07:37 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: I know, and I plan to do that next if needed. | 07:37 |
| kieppie | sweet - thanks | 07:37 |
| san | do you know i know how this happened | 07:37 |
| humungulous | chipotle: probably ideally you mount the foreign volume read-only and dont manipulate the contents until youve made your copy | 07:37 |
| doc-saintly | Hrm, I thought dd was at the device level? | 07:37 |

| noodlr | I'm using the Unity desktop for Ubuntu 11.10, and for some reason I cannot get the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T to respond. I've tried assigning other key-combinations to Terminal, under keyboard shortcut, but they do not work either. I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed on another machine and I use Unity there too, but the keyboard shortcut works there... Anybody have any ideas as to potential causes...? | 07:38 |

| Jordan_U | san: Still looking good. Now let's see if we can finish with "sudo apt-get purge burg burg-common". | 07:40 |
| noodlr | ActionParsnip, yeah played quake/half-life etc. but was confused by guake... | 07:41 |
| noodlr | I thought it was some ubuntu app | 07:41 |
| chipotle | does anyone know how to mount an hfs+ partition? i've googled but i get error messages when i try to mount... | 07:41 |
| chipotle | i'm wondering what i'm missing | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | noodlr: did you ever use the dropdown console during the game? | 07:41 |
| Jordan_U | chipotle: What error message? | 07:41 |
| DansTheMan | Are you ignoring me? :/ | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | noodlr: it is an ubuntu app | 07:42 |
| san | Jordan_U: ok i admit i installed super boot manager then went to burg then just looked but dint install it then went to themes there i double clicked 1 then 2 BURG themes i just did it to view but it got installed and at that time burg was not installed then i tried installing burg but dint work this is where problem started first i had to install burg then themes | 07:42 |
| noodlr | ActionParsnip, not that I recall, I just blasted stuff until I died | 07:42 |
| Jordan_U | DansTheMan: No, just trying to support too many people at once (and not just in this channel :) | 07:42 |
| DansTheMan | Oh okay, apologies | 07:42 |
| noodlr | ActionParsnip, ah, I see... I'm just running guake right now | 07:42 |
| san | urfr322g0: sudo apt-get purge burg burg-common | 07:42 |
| llutz_ | doc-saintly: you plan to write gzipped content to a raw-device? how do you plan to restore it? | 07:42 |
| zykotick9 | chipotle: i've never mounted an hfs partition in my life, but i've seen mention that journalling must be turned off (using Apple, before you can mount in gnu/linux) | 07:43 |
| noodlr | ActionParsnip, does it take terminal profiles? | 07:43 |
| humungulous | chipotle: sudo mount -t hfsplus <dev> | 07:43 |
| san | Jordan_U: Do you want all grub2 files to be removed from /boot/grub? | 07:43 |
| doc-saintly | llutz_: no idea. following directions mostly. I have a 3tb raid that lost its partition, and the only backup I have is ~13gb smaller than the raid. | 07:43 |
| chipotle | Jordan_U: just says thatit is wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1 | 07:43 |
| humungulous | er | 07:43 |
| san | urfr322g0: sudo apt-get purge burg burg-common | 07:43 |
| humungulous | chipotle: sudo mount -t hfsplus <dev> <mountpoint> | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | noodlr: ok well guake is a terminal app that drops from the top on shortcut, you can type a long command, press F12 and it will hide | 07:43 |
| doc-saintly | so before letting fsck have its way with my raid i was advised to back it up | 07:43 |
| kriskropd | chiptole 'apt-cache search hfs' shows some stuff, could use 'hfsutils' maybe, but like zykotick9, i never messed with HFS+ partitions before | 07:43 |
| chipotle | zykotick9: it mounts automagically in ubuntu, but not manually | 07:43 |
| san | urfr322g0: ok i admit i installed super boot manager then went to burg then just looked but dint install it then went to themes there i double clicked 1 then 2 BURG themes i just did it to view but it got installed and at that time burg was not installed then i tried installing burg but dint work this is where problem started first i had to install burg then themes | 07:44 |
| ehsan_ | Hi today I found the amazing beep command to play a song with given frequencies.because university pc's dont have speakers is there any way that I can listen normal audio (like a music or the system audio) through internal speaker? | 07:44 |
| zykotick9 | chipotle: ok, then ignore me ;) | 07:44 |
| Jordan_U | chipotle: Are you sure that it's really a valid hfsplus partition? Can you mount it in OSX? Do you have the right device name? | 07:44 |
| sgo11 | hi, a newbie question regarding mail server. If I setup postfix, can postfix both send and receive email to my mailbox? Do I really need to setup other servers like dovecot? What I want is sending email and receiving email to mailbox. that's all. is only postfix enough for handling this job? thanks. | 07:44 |
| llutz_ | doc-saintly: i'm not sure but i think that won't work this way | 07:44 |
| chipotle | humungulous: that's what i am doing, sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdc1 /osx | 07:44 |
| chipotle | Jordan_U: yes, yes, yes | 07:44 |
| llutz_ | doc-saintly: create a filesystem on that /dev/sdk and write your gzipped backup into a file | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | noodlr: you can bring it back with F12 and check it, or run more commands etc. Dead handy and supports tabs | 07:44 |
| chipotle | at least according to disk utility in ubuntu | 07:44 |
| Jordan_U | ehsan_: Not with anything close to reasonable quality, no. | 07:44 |
| san | Jordan_U: REPLY! Do you want all grub2 files to be removed from /boot/grub? | 07:44 |
| humungulous | chipotle: what if you add -o ro | 07:44 |
| humungulous | chipotle: sudo mount -t hfsplus -o ro <dev> <mountpoint> | 07:45 |
| doc-saintly | llutz_: well i was having trouble getting Ubuntu to format it in the first place :\ And, what FS should I use with a 3TB file? | 07:45 |
| san | Jordan_U: Terminal is asking in gui | 07:45 |
| ehsan_ | I don't care about the quality is it possible technically? | 07:45 |
| llutz_ | doc-saintly: ext4, xfs | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | ehsan_: Think back to the days of DOS and the audio from those games. That's the best you can get, and you won't get results that good from trying to converting normal audio files. | 07:45 |
| Kartagis | hi | 07:45 |

| ActionParsnip | doc-saintly: to achieve what? | 07:59 |
| doc-saintly | to use DD to backup a drive with compression onto the EXT4 FS I just made | 08:00 |
| doc-saintly | I need to use compression in the stream because the destination drive is slightly smaller than the original. I would also like to be able to track progress :) | 08:00 |
| Jordan_U | san: Almost certainly yes. And to be sure we can check with qemu. Do you have qemu installed? (if not, "sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm") | 08:00 |
| Ben64 | doc-saintly: 3TB is slightly smaller? | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | doc-saintly: if your system uses ext3 you can do all that with partimage | 08:01 |
| doc-saintly | they're ~13gb off | 08:01 |
| doc-saintly | ActionParsnip: the problem is the partition "disappeared" on my raid | 08:01 |
| doc-saintly | I want to do a DD backup of it before I try fsck | 08:01 |
| allu2 | dd-rescue? | 08:02 |
| humungulous | doc-saintly: more appropriate to use cloning/imaging tools for that than dd | 08:02 |
| san | Jordan__U: then | 08:02 |
| Ben64 | doc-saintly: its gonna be hugely cpu intensive | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | doc-saintly: then dd_rescue may help. Takes an image of the filesystem. Why didn't you backup BEFORE? | 08:02 |
| humungulous | partimage | 08:03 |

| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: doc-saintly: I would recommend GNU ddrescue over dd_rescue (they are not the same). GNU ddrescue is in the "gddrescue" package. | 08:04 |
| zykotick9 | monk13: FYI ubuntu 11.10 doesn't use gdm, thus the failure of your command | 08:04 |
| doc-saintly | ActionParsnip: I have a backup of most of the important stuff that is ~2 weeks old | 08:04 |
| doc-saintly | ActionParsnip: the raid was 2.8tb full out of 3tb, and I backed up ~500gb of it to a separate 1tb drive | 08:04 |
| doc-saintly | acmeinc: the remaining 2.3tb is non-critical videos etc. But I would still like to recover the incremental 2 weeks of data if possible | 08:05 |

| allu2 | doc-saintly: well i guess you could pipe it to tar and compress it | 08:06 |
| Jordan_U | san: That should bring up a qemu window, and within that window you should see the beginning of a normal boot. It *will* fail to boot completely, because the disk is read only for safety, but if you get past the grub menu you know that grub is working. | 08:06 |
| zykotick9 | monk13: sorry i don't understand what that means? | 08:06 |

| doc-saintly | Ben64: but the question is are there any other options? If not - is there any point in backing it up? | 08:08 |
| humungulous | doc-saintly: tell you the truth videos will not compress they are already incompressible | 08:08 |
| doc-saintly | humungulous: indeed, but the destination is only 13gb smaller, out of 3tb | 08:08 |
| Ben64 | doc-saintly: it'd be quite hard to get stuff back if the filesystem is unfsckable | 08:08 |
| doc-saintly | i'm sure there's 13gb to be compressed somewhere in there considering only 2.8tb was used in the raid, | 08:08 |
| Kartagis | how can I make sure network-manager kicks in BEFORE cron does? | 08:08 |
| humungulous | doc-saintly: you could end up with larger size | 08:09 |
| doc-saintly | What do you guys think of cloneZilla as a method to back it up? will it be able to mount the raid? | 08:09 |
| san | Jordan_U: sorry i am not geting | 08:10 |
| san | Jordan_U: showing same msg device busy | 08:10 |
| allu2 | Kartagis: make a script, put it to run on boot via cron, put somewhere something like sleep 60 etc and hope it works ^^ | 08:10 |
| Jordan_U | san: Have you been mounting isos or similar a lot recently? | 08:10 |
| flamengo1 | solved (nm) | 08:10 |
| flintwingel | doc-saintly: clonezilla is generally pretty good but if you're having problems with missing partions you'll be lucky if it works properly | 08:10 |
| doc-saintly | so, it sounds like I just need to fsck and pray | 08:11 |
| Jordan_U | san: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo losetup -a"? | 08:11 |
| san | Jordan_U: now i mounted partitions i transfered media to my portable harddisk today morning | 08:11 |
| san | Jordan_U: /dev/loop0: [0005]:6280 (/dev/sda) | 08:12 |
| san | /dev/loop1: [0005]:6280 (/dev/sda) | 08:12 |
| allu2 | doc-saintly: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Testdisk and photorec are good to recover file | 08:12 |
| longwuyuan | hi, is puppet better than enterprise-puppet | 08:12 |
| flintwingel | doc-saintly: fsck runs in to modes, automatic and manual. Automatic will try and fix everything the best way it knows how but it can get things wrong and screw up data. It's main purpose if to put the filesystem back into a consistent state | 08:12 |
| san | Jordan_U: it was NO and not NOW sorry | 08:13 |
| monk13 | so i pressed Shift in the VM startin gup... Im in the grub menu. .... How should i add the text option? i don't see an option here to mess with how grub loads. Guess I need to edit via command line/vi some file? | 08:13 |
| humungulous | true, testdisk and photorec will recover media off a raw disk with a blown partition table | 08:13 |
| flintwingel | doc-saintly: if it does screwup in auto mode yu can run it manually | 08:13 |
| === flamengo1 is now known as bamLUCE | ||
| doc-saintly | so flintwingel , tell me what you would do. | 08:13 |
| doc-saintly | I have a 3tb raid 5 that is missing its partition but otherwise is healthy, and no data has been written since the partition was lost. I have a 3tb that is slightly smaller than the raid 5 on a USB3 that is completely empty | 08:13 |
| Jordan_U | san: Try just "gksudo qemu -hda /dev/loop0". | 08:14 |
| humungulous | testdisk might be able to recover the partition table, actually | 08:14 |
| humungulous | but the RAID factor complicates everything | 08:14 |
| Ben64 | doc-saintly: do you know what happened to it? | 08:14 |
| doc-saintly | Ben64: No. I installed a usb3 card, turned the system on, plugged in the drive, and then the partition for the raid was gone | 08:15 |
| flintwingel | doc-saintly: i'd do the dd backup you originally planned. DD from the raw device will not care about partitions & filesystems and at least it will give you a way back to your current state and give you room to experiment | 08:15 |
| doc-saintly | flintwingel: so I know dd if=/dev/md0 | pigz ... ? | 08:15 |
| san | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/1pDUTX0G | 08:15 |

| Ben64 | doc-saintly: pigz? | 08:16 |
| doc-saintly | Ben64: multi-threaded gzip | 08:16 |
| DansTheMan | Jordan_U: Installing gdm worked. | 08:16 |
| monk13 | zykotick9, any idea what to do once grub menu loads? | 08:16 |
| DansTheMan | But /me likes the presentation of lightdm. Ohh wells :-/ | 08:16 |
| Ben64 | doc-saintly: well with gzip you could do dd if=blah | gzip >> /mnt/directory/file.img | 08:16 |
| flintwingel | doc-saintly: what raid level and what devices? | 08:16 |
| Ben64 | doc-saintly: if pigz works the same way, you could do that | 08:16 |
| doc-saintly | flintwingel: raid 5, 4x 1tb | 08:16 |
| doc-saintly | Ben64: thanks | 08:16 |
| san | Jordan_U: Hey! do i use Super Boot Manager to repair or check my grub? its easy there | 08:17 |
| doc-saintly | will DD list the progress? | 08:17 |
| doc-saintly | or is there a way to ask it to? | 08:17 |
| Ben64 | doc-saintly: it will if you send it a sigusr1 ( i think ) | 08:17 |
| flintwingel | doc-saintly: you can send dd sigusr1 and it will tell you how much data it has shipped up to that point | 08:17 |
| doc-saintly | Ben64: :S not sure what that is | 08:17 |
| san | Jordan_U: yesterday when burg was not geting installed i changed the resolution and background image of grub2 it worked | 08:17 |
| Jordan_U | san: I don't know anything about Super Boot Manager personally, but I doubt it can do as foolproof of a verification as this. | 08:17 |

| no_gravity | Hello! When I start a terminal via the menu, it starts in /home/user. I wonder, where this path is defined. Any ideas? | 08:17 |

| humungulous | doc-saintly: kill -USR1 <pid> | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | san: What happened when you ran "gksudo qemu /dev/loop0"? | 08:18 |
| monk13 | !text | 08:18 |
| Ben64 | doc-saintly: yep. start the dd, and "killall -SIGUSR1 dd" | 08:18 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 08:18 |

| doc-saintly | flintwingel: so, I DD it, I fsck it, then depending on what it says I give testdisk a try? | 08:21 |

| doc-saintly | I'm currently running ubuntu server 10.04, I dislike Unity. Should I upgrade? If so, to what? | 08:58 |
| ubuntu-guy | I will be ubuntu ninja ;) | 08:58 |
| doc-saintly | In light of my raid crap-out this wouldn't be a bad time to upgrade | 08:58 |

| expertarun | getoff dog | 08:58 |
| flintwingel | doc-saintly: look at linux mint | 08:58 |
| doc-saintly | ikonia: I've played around with Mint, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc., But i'm wondering if they will be functionally the same | 08:58 |
| doc-saintly | Also - is Ubuntu going to use unity from now on? | 08:59 |
| ServerSage | I'm going to do my happy dance now. | 08:59 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-guy: sure | 08:59 |
| ikonia | doc-saintly: ubuntu will be using unity for the future, yes | 08:59 |
| === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`sleep | ||
| doc-saintly | if I use something like Kubuntu/Mint, can I expect the same repo's to work etc? | 08:59 |
| rigved | doc-saintly: ubuntu server does not include a GUI by default. so you can upgrade to ubuntu server 11.10 without having to use unity (you will be using CLI). unless you want a GUI on a server. in which case, you can use any of the alternative DEs like Gnome Shell, KDE, XFCE, LXDE etc. | 09:00 |
| ikonia | doc-saintly: no | 09:00 |
| ubuntu-guy | ikonia, thanks for giving me some motivation.... Not understand where i should start for changing this two things correctly.. I need some help | 09:00 |
| flintwingel | doc-saintly: pretty much, I've been using Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Mint for a few years and been able to sue the same repos | 09:00 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-guy: read the documentation, if you can't work out where to start, it's probably beyond your ability at this time | 09:00 |
| doc-saintly | rigved: well i'm not sure I actually got the server version, but rather just the regular and use it as a server | 09:00 |
| ubuntu-guy | ikonia, Any suggested Link or tutorial please? | 09:01 |
| rigved | doc-saintly: there is a separate server version. it is command-line based and more suited for a server. there is no need to have a GUI on a server, right? it seems like a waste of resources... | 09:01 |
| === jesse1 is now known as jesseh | ||
| flintwingel | doc-saintly: or equivalent. Some of the distros maintain their own version of the core Ub repo | 09:02 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-guy: sorry no | 09:02 |
| ubuntu-guy | OK | 09:02 |
| doc-saintly | rigved: well, "server" is relative. I also have it hooked up to a tv to play the videos it hosts :) | 09:02 |
| doc-saintly | flintwingel: understood, but there's a lot of programs that are lucky to be in the ubuntu repo's, let alone a subset (if it's not compatible with the ubuntu repo) | 09:02 |
| doc-saintly | Thanks for the advice though :) | 09:03 |
| Deim0s | hello all | 09:04 |
| Deim0s | I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and have a configured a LAMP server, everything works just fine except my virtual hosts | 09:04 |
| === tobias_ is now known as mezzox | ||
| Deim0s | this server is supposed to host multiple Vhosts, and this is is the configuration of one of them | 09:04 |

| Deim0s | when I access the localhost or the deimos.ma domain name I reach my hello world page without a problem | 09:04 |
| Deim0s | but when I try to access it with hope.deimos.ma as I setted it up in my ServerName directive of my Vhost I get an error from the browser | 09:04 |

| Deim0s | this is a record for me | 09:06 |
| rigved | doc-saintly: oh. ok. you should give the new unity (soon to be released in 12.04) a try. it has improved a lot. or you can use one of the other alternative desktop environments (DEs). | 09:06 |

| jonah_ | i've ran repair kernel boot up and pressed fsck but it doesn't seem to be doing anything | 09:35 |
| ikonia | jonah_: what file system do you want to check /home for example ? | 09:35 |
| jonah_ | ikonia: it's just a standard kubuntu install i want to check the whole disk drive for errors | 09:36 |
| jonah_ | ikonia: having massive problems with my computer just freezing | 09:36 |

| jonah_ | ikonia: well i have a laptop which didn't work well with standard kernel on install so i updated to mainline ppa kernel and headers etc. it was working great for days. then i tried to install vmware player and virutal box. they didn't install properly so tried to remove them and now after i boot up after a minute everything locks up and mouse freezes and everything | 09:39 |
| === wildbat is now known as Guest56708 | ||
| ikonia | jonah_: to be honest that doesn't cut it for me "doesn't work well with standard kernel, (howdid you know it wa a kernel problem) updated to a PPA kernel it worked until I did more changes now it doesn't work | 09:40 |
| ikonia | jonah_: it sounds like you are just trying random things to fix things | 09:40 |
| jonah_ | ikonia: i just thought an fsck would be the first thing to try to recover my system as i've had to turn it off a few times as can't shut down so wanted to check the disk was ok | 09:40 |
| ikonia | jonah_: if the disk wasn't in a usable state you'd have errors/warnings | 09:41 |
| stephans_ | I am running atop and it is idicating red for vmcom: 5.3G and vmlim of 3.8... what does this mean? | 09:41 |
| jonah_ | ikonia: i'm sorry, i didn't mean to do the wrong thing but i followed the ubuntu wiki advice to update the kernel here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook | 09:41 |
| jonah_ | ikonia: i just want to recover my system that's all and don't know how to get it back how it was yesterday | 09:42 |
| ikonia | jonah_: ok - so that's a bit different, you're following official advice - which is good, doing it "blind" isn't a problem, but then you're changing it by doing thing ssuch as using vmware which requires kernel modules | 09:42 |
| Ben64 | ppa kernel can cause all sorts of problems | 09:42 |
| Ben64 | i'd suggest using precise over ppa kernel | 09:42 |
| Akls | I have a project and I'd like to keep track of the changes in case I would like to return back. Should I use Git or Bazaar? | 09:42 |
| jonah_ | ikonia: i know i wish i'd just left it! Is there anything I can do to sort it out? | 09:43 |
| ikonia | jonah_: Vmware installs kernel modules, they may/may not be stable with the PPA kernel you are using, it's about trouble shooting the problem and working it through, rather than throwing random things at it | 09:43 |
| ikonia | jonah_: you where probably right to change the kernel looking at that URL | 09:43 |
| jonah_ | Ben64: it was working fine though, it must be since trying to remove vmware because that's where the trouble has started | 09:43 |
| cga | hi all, my message tray is hidden at the bottom of the screen. how can I make it show? or move it at the top? | 09:44 |

| ikonia | jonah_: I've never used that hardware platform, so I'd need to research what's different that requires a different kernel | 09:45 |

| Dr_willis | IceHunter, not strange at all. the laptop makers like to do their 'own' thing and not follow any standards | 11:22 |

| ServerSage | theTroy: You'll want to read up on software RAID. I'd just give you the commands, but I can never remember them off the top of my head. mdadm is the utility you'll be using. | 11:44 |
| DansTheMan | Dr_willis: Nup, all that's coming up in the synaptic package manager is the 3.3.90 version :-/ | 11:45 |
| theTroy | ServerSage: thanks, Ill read up on the HW set up then, is it identical to usb set up? and how badly will it react if one of the usb drives happens to get unplugged? (during the time when there is no write operation in process) | 11:45 |
| playman | jrib: i'm sorry, but maybe I've been not accurade regarding my setup. this computer that I'm using the IRC on is Win XP, the computer I'm trying to intall that program onto is Ubuntu 10.04 wich has no GUI or browsing capability, therefore it's kinda hard for me to just copy and paste. | 11:45 |
| melvincv | playman, why not http://goo.gl | 11:45 |
| jrib | playman: 1) ssh to the machine with no gui from your windows machine or 2) grep for the link in the html file you just wgetted or 3) connect to irc on the machine with no gui and send yourself the link that way or 4) use a console browser on the machine with no gui | 11:47 |
| ServerSage | theTroy: Take a look at http://tinyurl.com/l5ad4y - jump to the mdadm portion. As for how it will handle a drive being unplugged, it will handle it the same as if a drive dies. You'll have to use mdadm to bring the drive back into the array when it's plugged back in. | 11:47 |
| Dr_willis | DansTheMan, all i recall doing was pasteing some stuff from the webupd8 blog site to get gnome0-shell going months ago when i did a clean install. | 11:47 |
| theTroy | ServerSage: thanks, Ill try :) | 11:47 |
| Dr_willis | mgj, just googing and saw a mention that --> rTorrent 0.8.7 works fine with magnet links in terms of downloading. | 11:48 |
| DansTheMan | Dr_willis: Could you please link me to the article? | 11:48 |
| ServerSage | theTroy: mdadm looks intimidating at first, but it's actually pretty simple once you start digging in. | 11:48 |
| theTroy | ServerSage: hope so :) | 11:49 |
| mgj | Dr_willis, oh... Google told me you needed to add a patch and recompile from source to enable it. Will look into it, thanks | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | DansTheMan, put in 'webupd8' in your browser and check out their tweak guides | 11:49 |
| playman | melvincv: thanks for that, I just didint think that would work, but I was wrong and its working. :) | 11:49 |
| DansTheMan | Dr_willis: I'm look at the site at the moment. | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | mgj, all the patches i saw mentioned were 2+ yrs old. | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | mgj, also seen some mention of some sort of 'script' to convert magnet links to normal torrents. | 11:50 |
| Dr_willis | Off to work for me. bye all. | 11:50 |
| ServerSage | theTroy: Actually, I just found this article that is exactly what you hope to do: http://tinyurl.com/6eoh6h | 11:50 |
| theTroy | ServerSage: sweet :) I didnt stumble on this article while searching, thanks! | 11:51 |
| playman | jrib: allright thanks for that, just started ubuntu, i'll keep those informations handy. just didint think of ssh, or that I could IRC on it either lol, well thanks again for the help. | 11:51 |
| ServerSage | theTroy: Happy to help. You doing RAID0 or RAID1? That article sets up a RAID0. The steps are pretty much the same for a RAID1, you just change --level 0 to --level 1 | 11:52 |
| theTroy | ServerSage: RAID 0, doesnt make sense to do RAID 1 with flash drives really, but thanks a lot, this is exactly what I needed :) | 11:53 |
| Zoffix | Hey. Does google have some kind of spyware in Ubuntu? Weird question, but I just noticed 4kb/s going up, not knowing what it was. I ran `netstat -tunawep` and there were a bunch of `sh` processes apparently connected to 74.125.226.88 and other IP addresses, all owned by Google (according to whois, at least). I killed all those, and I even restarted my network, but I still get a bunch of entries to google with "LAST_ACK" as status. I closed my browser an | 11:53 |

| jandro | Hi. I'm using php5-cgi to handle php's in my server. I noticed that after a dist-upgrade the metapackage php5 upgraded installing the default libapache2-mod-php5.

| ikonia | shakjdhf: I've never seen anyone have the issue, but no-one else has the issue in the channel | 12:02 |

| Zoffix | bam, no one can help you, unless they know what the question is. Makes sense, no? | 12:08 |
| bam | yes yes | 12:08 |
| bam | so I have a server running on ubuntu-server and there is Apache Tomcat running on it | 12:09 |
| bam | I access the server using ssh and then I run Tomcat | 12:09 |
| bam | but I have to stay logged in or Tomcat stops | 12:10 |
| bam | ( sorry for my no really good englis ) | 12:10 |
| Zoffix | bam, use `screen` | 12:11 |
| Zoffix | bam, to run the tomcat that is. | 12:11 |
| Zoffix | bam, screen -d -m tomcat (or whatever the name is) would start the server and detach screen. Then to return you'd type screen -r. But my memory is foggy, so read the man page (man screen) | 12:12 |
| bam | and I can logout of my server and Tomcat will be still running ? | 12:13 |
| Zoffix | bam, yup | 12:13 |
| ronsonol_ | Is there a log of what update manager has installed when? | 12:14 |
| * melvincv wonders why tomcat isn't a service/daemon | 12:14 | |
| l_pottersky | was asking myself the same question melvincv | 12:15 |
| l_pottersky | doesnt it help if you run it like "command &" ? | 12:15 |
| bam | Zoffix, Thanks a lot! I'll make search on screen | 12:15 |
| bam | see u | 12:15 |
| IceHunter | how long it can take to format to ntfs 1tb external hard drive? | 12:16 |
| Zoffix | l_pottersky, that would put it in background, but the process would still be terminated when you log off the ssh | 12:16 |
| rajumoh | Zoffix,IceHunter : I think tomcat has a shell script that actually does this in its bin files.. i dont remember the name though.. | 12:18 |
| * Zoffix shrugs | 12:18 | |
| rajumoh | Zoffix,IceHunter : in our world there is more than one way of doing this i guess :-D | 12:19 |

| ziyadb_ | hello. So I installed compiz and made the changes I wanted, however, I had inadvertently disabled Unity, now the launcher bar is gone and it appears that I may be on Gnome 2.x, is there any way to revert the changes I have made? By removing the package perhaps? | 12:20 |

| rajumoh | IceHunter: typo :-p | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | run ccsm and Renable unity or the Webupd8 site has a guide on reseting unity and compiz | 12:22 |

| cuco | it seems like the 32bit support is not installed. am i right? | 12:30 |
| ox3a | hi ikonia | 12:31 |
| allu2 | cuco: try purging wine and reinstalling helped for me | 12:31 |
| === vladnastasiu is now known as nastasiu | ||

| ubottu | Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 12:32 |

| MonkeyDust | tss | 12:33 |
| ikonia | ox3a: did you want me? | 12:33 |
| ox3a | just asking | 12:33 |
| cuco | allu2: the problem is not configuration, it's a loader problem. but.. yes, I did that (apt-get remove --purge) | 12:34 |
| ikonia | ox3a: sorry, you just said "hi ikonia" I wondered if you wanted me | 12:35 |
| muhammedmuhammed | hi | 12:35 |
| muhammedmuhammed | any body here | 12:35 |
| MonkeyDust | cuco maybe you have to delete some hidden file or directory | 12:35 |
| NyLes | what is the use of the package (i guess) gettext and xmlto? | 12:35 |
| allu2 | cuco: i had same problem while ago, i remember i removed wine and reinstalled but it didn't help, then i removed something like winebind or winbind and it removed wine and its dependencies and then when i installed it worked, | 12:35 |
| ikonia | NyLes: what do you mean what is the use of them ? | 12:36 |
| allu2 | but ofcourse it can be due to other reasons in my case | 12:36 |
| NyLes | ikonia: i've been trying this; http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/.. | 12:36 |

| ox3a | ikonia, oh yeah i see... First you tried to help me for first problem and now i am back again for next problem .. Boot Logo. That is it | 12:37 |
| MonkeyDust | NyLes do they cause any problem? | 12:37 |
| NyLes | MonkeyDust: nope, just want to know.. | 12:37 |
| ikonia | NyLes: yes, but what do you want to know | 12:37 |
| NyLes | ikonia: are they really essential for upgrading ALSA? | 12:37 |

| ikonia | NyLes: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ that is what gettext is, is that the sort of thing are you looking for | 12:37 |

| ikonia | NyLes: compiling software with no understanding of the consiquences / effects on the system may break a lot more than sound | 12:45 |

| ikonia | mut3city: I wouldn't worry too hard though as the shop will likley re-image it | 12:45 |

| roasted_ | ikonia: don't you think it's strange 1 works as raid and th eother does not, though? | 13:54 |
| ikonia | roasted_: it shouldn't make a difference, and in all the years I've used raid I've never had an issue due to rounding | 13:54 |
| mi3 | escott there are a lot of deb files, how do I backup them? | 13:54 |
| playman | ikonia: sorry for the long respond, I checked the httpd.conf file and it's empty, I should se there if my apache is listening. right? | 13:54 |
| ikonia | roasted_: I suspect there a different problem that you are assoticating with this | 13:54 |
| mi3 | muelli i want to backup my updates dude | 13:54 |
| muelli | roasted_: I don't know but I can imaging metadata taking up some space. And well, if there's no space left, it might not be able to write the metadata | 13:54 |
| muelli | mi3: yes. | 13:54 |
| MatisM_ | ikonia: http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=4f4796aa0e81f | 13:54 |
| roasted_ | ikonia: have you ever set up software raid after ubuntu is already installed? | 13:55 |
| escott | roasted_, two possibilities (a) alighnment and (b) something gpt related. i think gpt leaves a bit at the front of the disk unused so as not to trample on mbr tables | 13:55 |
| roasted_ | muelli: that was kind of my thought process too. | 13:55 |
| ikonia | playman visit https://help.ubuntu.com - look in the server section there is a guide on how to setup apache | 13:55 |
| roasted_ | escott: I'm not using gpt. | 13:55 |
| ikonia | roasted_: many many times | 13:55 |
| roasted_ | ikonia: when you prep the drives, do you use gparted, disk utility, or terminal? | 13:55 |
| ikonia | roasted_: personally fdisk | 13:55 |
| escott | mi3, how were you planning to get files to the offline machine? | 13:55 |
| ikonia | roasted_: no reason other than personal preferences | 13:56 |
| mi3 | muelli how to backup them? also i would like to install them on an offline pc so tell me how to do so | 13:56 |

| LukeNukem | MatisM_, what is it | 13:57 |
| mi3 | escott ,by a flash drive, u know , with those updates copied to a flash drive and then moved to the offline pc | 13:57 |
| ikonia | roasted_: mbr is nothing to do with gpt, if you mean dos partitions and gpt, unless I have a technical reason (2TB or greater or EFI ) or until dos becomes more retired I'll keep it simple with dos tables | 13:57 |

| escott | mi3, if the machines are identical and the flash drive is large enough you could rsync -delete from the /var/cache/apt/archives/ on a regular basis. that would be the easiest way to get updates over | 13:58 |
| MatisM_ | LukeNukem: there is lots of information | 13:58 |
| ikonia | roasted_: if you know they are nothing to do with each other, why did you ask if I prefered MBR or GPT knowing they where nothing to do with each other | 13:58 |
| mi3 | escott? | 13:58 |
| bisceglia | ciao list | 13:58 |
| escott | mi3, although you would also need to copy the updated apt dependency lists | 13:58 |

| ikonia | roasted_: MBR is "master boot record" - it's nothing to do with the partition table | 13:59 |
| ikonia | roasted_: the partition tables are GPT and DOS based | 13:59 |
| roasted_ | ikonia: oh. I guess I got confused with disk utility then, because it asked me which kind of partition structure I wanted when I went to format the volume. | 13:59 |
| srini | Is there any channel available for tweaking terminal? | 13:59 |

| fidel | chown_: you mount if via cli or via your file-browser | 14:01 |
| muelli | !ufw | v01d` | 14:01 |
| ubottu | v01d`: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 14:01 |
| roasted_ | ikonia: well if you have a second, pop into disk utility sometime, pop in a flash drive you can sacrifice (only because I would never recommend touching the next step on a live drive, even if you would utilize the cancel button) then hit "format volume". I saw MBR, GUID, and several other things there. I just associated them as being similar to ext2 vs 3 vs 4, etc | 14:01 |
| mi3 | i2c u can update the software center from the update manager, just reload the lists and install from that ok | 14:01 |

| fidel | chown_: cli-wise its using the mount cmd | 14:03 |
| chown_ | fidel: on my mac i do: smb://ip/partition | 14:03 |
| roasted_ | ikonia: I had originally formatted my one drive with GUID, and I noticed when I went to edit the file system type, things were wildly different. Instead of linux raid autodetect (0xfd) it now simply said linux raid. The options were simpler, etc. It wasn't until I went to my other drive, stll live in the raid, that I saw it was mbr. so I reformatted the target drive (drive b) as mbr, then 0xfd was available and I set the type as su | 14:03 |
| escott | mi3, i've never done this so I can't give you all the steps. all i can say is that apt needs a list of the files to install and their checksums and then will look into /var/cache/apt/ to see if the files were already downloaded. so what you need to get over to the other machine is the *.deb files and the updated package archive list. and you would put those in /apt. alternately if you can get a bigger disk to do the transfer you could tr | 14:03 |
| escott | y and use apt-mirror | 14:03 |
| fidel | chown_: you arent listening ;) | 14:03 |
| mi3 | ohh | 14:03 |
| ikonia | roasted_: GUID is very different | 14:04 |
| mi3 | give me the paste of that will u.... | 14:04 |

| mi3 | err escott? | 14:04 |
| roasted_ | ikonia: are there any advantages to guid over mbr? | 14:04 |

| escott | mi3, not that i am aware of | 14:05 |
| roasted_ | haylo: you're right, but we're talking about a different type of guid in regard to partition table schemes. :) | 14:06 |
| roasted_ | ikonia: gotcha. thanks bro. | 14:06 |
| escott | roasted_, ikonia more partitions, larger partitions, and the entry tables are bigger so more can be stored in the entry table, and there is a backup table at the end of the disk | 14:06 |
| mi3 | ok then if u had to install updates to an offline pc suggest me what would u do? | 14:06 |
| i2c | WOW. I just tried doing sudo-software center, and it worked perfectly. | 14:06 |
| ikonia | escott: ahhh yes, more partitions is another good point | 14:06 |
| mi3 | ok then if u had to install updates to an offline pc suggest me what would u do?escott | 14:06 |
| roasted_ | escott: would it be more logical for me to use that type of setup on a raided /home volume? | 14:06 |

| justsighdudes | Is there a good tutorial on how to set up a secure server? I feel like settings up a chroot for each daemon is a good idea but I have no idea how this stuff works. | 14:07 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest57423 | ||
| ikonia | justsighdudes: it's not a good idea, | 14:08 |
| escott | roasted_, one argument for gpt would be that a raid array might live longer than any single disk in the array and your next disk is likely to be too big for mbr. so if you start with gpt today you can be a consistent gpt all the way through | 14:08 |
| ikonia | justsighdudes: not all applications can function in a chroot enviornment, some have that configuration built in, others you'd have to build a whole machine chroot just to run a daemon. | 14:08 |

| escott | roasted_, gpt uses guids (in mbr your guid is put not in the partition table but in the pbr AFAIK) | 14:11 |
| roasted_ | escott: I'm reading GPT is just an appreviation for GUID Partition Table... | 14:11 |

| playman | ikonia: sorry about this, but both /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and /etc/dhcpd.conf are blank, I used to have fully working dhcpd server before the install of the fog program, is that normal? | 14:12 |
| escott | roasted_, there are technical limitations (disk size) that are forcing the move to GPT, but GPT includes many of the best practices (like partition guids that you see with sudo blkid) into the partition table | 14:13 |
| mi3 | escott: hey atleast in modern warfare 3 they did[hypothetically] | 14:13 |
| bluefrog | playman, /etc/dhcp3-server.dhcpd.conf | 14:13 |

| Guest57423 | where are you from?? | 14:14 |
| bluefrog | playman, why are you mixing apache conf and dhcp conf? | 14:14 |
| escott | roasted_, the reasons for using gpt on a new disk are decent. the reasons for switching to gpt on a prexisting disk are less compelling. also be very careful to remove the mbr partition if you switch. or create a protective mbr partition | 14:14 |

| ubottu | Guest57423, please see my private message | 14:15 |
| Trevor69420 | has anyone figured a roundabout way to get my iTunes purchases to work in Ubuntu | 14:16 |
| escott | Trevor69420, you probably need to remove the drm from the m4a files | 14:16 |
| roasted_ | escott: these are just data disks. I guess I could do it one of two ways. It's a raid. I could either remove drive A, format to GUID, sync up to drive B (still mbr) then remove drive B, format to GUID, sync to drive A. This is assuming I can do that, but in software raid I don't think it would matter. | 14:17 |
| ikonia | playman: dhcpd.conf is nothing do to with apache | 14:17 |
| playman | bluefrog: /etc/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.conf is also blank. what do you mean about mixing? well I have the file/etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 14:17 |
| ikonia | playman: and as I've told you https://help.ubunu.com look in the server info for how to setup apache | 14:17 |
| Trevor69420 | escott yea thats what i figured... not sure if theres a tool for that that might run on ubuntu | 14:17 |
| bluefrog | playman, what are you trying to? configure a web server AND configure a dhcp server? | 14:17 |
| escott | roasted_, you can have both gpt and mbr on the same disk (so long as they are consistent) so you might want to try switching with gdisk by just changing the partitiont ables (gdisk can create hybrids) | 14:18 |
| alisunjaya | hello | 14:18 |
| ikonia | playman: your problem is you need apache to listen on the right ip address - those two files are nothing to do with that | 14:18 |
| playman | ikonia: I know but I just wanted to check dhcpd.conf and found it strange that the file was empty | 14:18 |
| alisunjaya | playman | 14:18 |
| alisunjaya | \??> | 14:18 |
| roasted_ | escott: eh, I'd rather just push it all to gpt if mbr offers me nothing but scaling limitations for the future. | 14:18 |
| ikonia | playman: fix the problem in hand - which is apache is not listening on the right IP | 14:18 |
| alisunjaya | ikonia? | 14:18 |
| roasted_ | escott: as long as software raid can sync an mbr disk to gpt, then I can do 1 drive at a time like that without issue. | 14:18 |
| escott | Trevor69420, i dont believe those tools work on linux. they need the encryption keys that are associated to your itunes accounts | 14:18 |
| playman | bluefrog: i'm trying to setup fog server | 14:18 |
| escott | roasted_, i would say that if you have a working system not to mess with it. there really isn't much to gain | 14:19 |
| roasted_ | escott: it's a system I'm rebuilding, so if I'm going to do it, now is the time. | 14:19 |
| roasted_ | escott: otherwise I probably wouldn't care much at all. | 14:19 |
| playman | ikonia: yeah i'm sorry i'm trying to read trough the https://help.ubuntu.com | 14:19 |
| roasted_ | escott: then again, even if I move to a larger array, I'll have to set up a new array to begin with. It's not like I can easily port this array over. | 14:20 |
| roasted_ | escott: perhaps it's a moot point? | 14:20 |
| alisunjaya | hello???????????????????????????????? | 14:20 |
| roasted_ | escott: especially if there's no higher data reliability or speed increase... | 14:20 |
| jonny | I'm newbie and I need a little help with gnome classic | 14:21 |
| escott | roasted_, it depends on how your array is configured. if you have lvm on top of mdadm you can just add new lvm sectors to a new array | 14:21 |
| roasted_ | escott: no lvm is involved | 14:21 |
| roasted_ | escott: just a basic mdadm mirror | 14:21 |

| pesari | hello, I get two addresses for archive.canonical.com: 91.189.88.33 and 91.189.92.191 -- the latter one seems to have outdated repository contents, at least for the file /ubuntu/dists/lucid/partner/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 | 14:32 |
| dr_willis | that would be 2 different subnets i think. ;) | 14:32 |
| M4dH4TT3r | yes playman theyre on different networks | 14:32 |
| Valkyr | If it were the backlight shutting off, is there a combination of buttons I would press or something to turn it back on? | 14:33 |
| playman | ok I know they are on different networks, I thought that they could still comunicate if told so | 14:33 |
| escott | Valkyr, well assuming that the monitor isn't being turned off by dpms, but rather that the backlight is being turned off. then the issue would with your acpi tables. you would have to do some searches for your specific hardware to identify if there is a workaround/update to the kernel acpi tables | 14:33 |
| M4dH4TT3r | if you change 111 to 1 they will be all good | 14:34 |
| escott | playman, depends on what lies between the subnets, but local services are usually configured to ignore traffic from outside subnets | 14:34 |
| Valkyr | Okay. I will do some research on that. What if it's being turned off by dpms? | 14:35 |
| playman | M4dH4TT3r: ok i'll change that, and check it again. | 14:35 |
| playman | escott ok thanks for that | 14:35 |

| alisunjaya_ | ubuntu realase 12.04 bulan 4 | 14:44 |
| wormmd | So here's a weird one: my machine was bogging down horribly yesterday, so I restarted, and when it booted back up, it seemed as though all of my configurations had been wiped, e.g., hotkeys and such, and a panel showed up behind the GNOME Shell application bar at the top. I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 running GNOME Shell. | 14:44 |
| playman | bluefrog: yea was starting to look into that, wanted to change the dhcpd.conf but it's blank, and it's there where I can make the ubuntu machine part of the same network. right? | 14:44 |
| bluefrog | playman, not at all. I believe you may have some things to learn before setting up any kind of servers... | 14:45 |
| dr_willis | alisunjaya_: is there some reason you are using the alpha version? | 14:45 |
| justsighdudes | ikonia: Sorry, could you repeat what you said re: chrooting daemons? irssi is not playing nice. | 14:46 |
| Valkyr | Question - If I can't see anything at all of the screen, how would I apply any changes to the APCI? | 14:47 |
| Valkyr | ACPI* | 14:47 |
| playman | bluefrog: well i'm trying to learn :) i'm just new to the whole server thing. all i'm trying to do now is to setup a fog server to take care of image installing on PC's I have to format. wanted to be able to store the install image on a server and use the ethernet to setup the pc's | 14:47 |
| justsighdudes | ikonia: Nevermind. Just discovered /LASTLOG | 14:47 |
| escott | Valkyr, it could be that the flashlight is just not bright enough, but that the LCD is still active and updating, but the particular configuration of the display means you absolutely cannot read anything without the backlight | 14:48 |
| a11 | hi | 14:48 |
| bluefrog | playman, have a look at clonezilla. might be easier for you to understand / put in place | 14:48 |
| playman | bluefrog: you gotta start somewhere right? | 14:49 |
| escott | Valkyr, the fact that this happens when you try and change the backlight is obviously suggestive of a backlight related issue, and the backlight is controlled through ACPI and there be the dragons there | 14:49 |
| alisunjaya_ | DR WILLS? alpha i uer realase ubuntu 11.04 no alpha? | 14:50 |
| alisunjaya_ | but 12.04 alpha? | 14:50 |
| playman | bluefrog: wery well, i've gotten used to ppl giving up on me any way. i'll check that clonezilla | 14:50 |

| kalimojo | is it possible for someone to send a malicious link to firefox and hijackt it under ubuntu ? | 14:50 |
| Valkyr | @escott - Okay. I will find a brighter light and shut off the lights around the computer. If I can see it then, then should I assume that something like resetting things to their default configs would bring it back? | 14:50 |
| escott | Valkyr, do you know much about ACPI? | 14:50 |
| bluefrog | playman, not a problem of giving up on you. teaching networking and so on is not something you do over IRC | 14:50 |
| bluefrog | playman, takes time to learn. | 14:51 |
| Valkyr | Nothing at all. Just that it stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. | 14:51 |
| ironhalik | Is there a way to use features from Unity in Unity-2d (mainly the workspace switcher) | 14:51 |
| dr_willis | kalimojo: unlikely. but stupid users can do stupid things | 14:51 |
| wormmd | So here's a weird one: my machine was bogging down horribly yesterday, so I restarted, and when it booted back up, it seemed as though all of my configurations had been wiped, e.g., hotkeys and such, and a panel showed up behind the GNOME Shell application bar at the top. I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 running GNOME Shell. | 14:52 |
| wormmd | Thoughts? | 14:52 |
| ikonia | wormmd: check the configuration files, see if they are blanked | 14:52 |
| kalimojo | is it possible for someone to send a malicious link to firefox and hijackt it under ubuntu ?? | 14:53 |
| playman | bluefrog: yeah I know. I was able to setup my own DHCP server on the ubuntu machine, so seting up the fog should not have been so much trouble, except it seems to have deleted all the settings i've made and left me in the dark. | 14:53 |
| martian | Is it possible to launch a gnome-terminal and have its task icon be something custom? | 14:53 |
| a11 | ciao a tutti | 14:53 |
| ikonia | kalimojo: depends if they know a security hole | 14:53 |
| escott | Valkyr, so its a set of "standards". by the standards the kernel looks up some table in the bios and the table indicates that by putting values x,y,z into register location r the hardware will change settings in some nice way, but half the time those bios tables are wrong (or the hardware is not following the standard) so the kernel says I have 10 backlight levels with register values x1 to x10, but the hardware is not following those va | 14:53 |
| escott | lues the way the kernel thinks it should. so the kernel thinks it is lowering the backlight to the middle level, but its actually turning the backlight off | 14:53 |
| kalimojo | dr_willis : are you saying its possible for malicious web sites to compromise firefox on ubunhtu ? | 14:54 |
| ikonia | kalimojo: if the person writing the attack knows of a security hole, sure | 14:54 |
| CharminTheMoose | How can I change the default 'installing missing plugins' firefox dealio to just use gksudo, rather than gksu? Running a ubuntu-minimal 11.04 install here | 14:54 |
| escott | Valkyr, and so you need to find a workaround to deal with your (broken) backlight and handle it differently. the kernel has various boot options including some that will change the acpi backlight handling | 14:54 |
| ikonia | kalimojo: I can break into fort knocks if I know there is a hole in their security | 14:54 |
| bastidrazor | ikonia: can i be a part of your team. i can drive the getaway car. | 14:55 |
| Valkyr | escott - so then the workaround would start with something from the bios screen? (booting with F* or something)? | 14:55 |
| dr_willis | kalimojo: worse case user may mess up stuff in their home. but unlikely | 14:55 |
| Valkyr | F8* sorry. | 14:55 |
| escott | Valkyr, see http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_ACPI_work (although this has more kernel compile related stuff which you dont want to do) http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 14:56 |
| escott | Valkyr, so the workaround is to figure out if someone has the same laptop as you and has posted a solution | 14:56 |
| Valkyr | Thank you! | 14:56 |
| CharminTheMoose | dang, chroot install rather | 14:56 |
| kalimojo | ikonia : are you saying firefox is vulnerable ? | 14:56 |
| escott | Valkyr, if not then you can modify /etc/default/grub to include some of these kernel boot parameters to try and make the backlight work | 14:56 |
| ikonia | kalimojo: all software "may" be vulnerable the problem is you don't know of a vulnerablility until someone finds it | 14:57 |
| Trevor69420 | ikonia, if you broke into fort knox u'd be terribly disappointed | 14:57 |

| wormmd | kalimojo, I'm really curious as to why you're so curious... | 14:58 |
| escott | dr3mro, assuming that this is a vfat usb stick testdisk or photorec should handle the situation fairly well. just umount that partition so that you aren't writing anything to it | 14:59 |
| dr3mro | escott, photorec is able to retore ppt files? | 14:59 |
| escott | HoNgOuRu, there is an icon just to the left of the networking icon which is sound | 14:59 |
| HoNgOuRu | escott that one is gone! | 15:00 |

Is there an advantage to using the drive? | 15:18 |
| === Blow is now known as Guest89507 | ||

| escott | roasted_, you should always have a partition table. very dangerous to not have one | 15:19 |
| roasted_ | escott: so you would vote /dev/sda1? | 15:19 |
| escott | roasted_, yes | 15:19 |
| roasted_ | escott: I haven't seen a single guide not use that method, I began to wonder why that user told me to use the entire drive... | 15:19 |
| escott | roasted_, but sda1 can be the entire disk | 15:19 |
| roasted_ | escott: oh it is, but even still he said use sda not sda1, etc. | 15:20 |
| roasted_ | escott: I began hitting up guides to see if that advice he gave showed up and in no guides did it. | 15:20 |
| martian | Guest99805: 'hacking' means knowing a lot about programming, operating systems and their internals, and common programming mistakes. Start by spending a lot of time writing C | 15:20 |

| dr_willis | xubuntu5: yes. .. | 15:21 |
| roasted_ | escott: I didn't think it made sense either. I couldn't get too much info out of the guy because he was very beligerent and very "just do it this way and don't ask qu estions". Yeah okay... | 15:22 |
| zykotick9 | escott: i wasn't able to find anything regarding screen+xnest from my initial search, best i could find was VNC. This slashdot comments section mentions Xorg+screen several times (all stating not possible, or use VNC) http://ask.slashdot.org/story/08/06/29/1417247/persistent-terminals-for-a-dedicated-computing-box It would be very cool, but i was certainly under the impression it wasn't possible. | 15:22 |
| xubuntu5 | where do i / how do i configure that? thanks again for all your help | 15:22 |
| CharminTheMoose | How can I change the default 'installing missing plugins' firefox box to just use gksudo, rather than gksu? Running a debootstrap 11.04 install here | 15:23 |
| dr_willis | zykotick9: saw a flakey way to do it years ago. . | 15:23 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: it would be very cool... I'm not a fan of VNC, but a true "screen" plus Xforwarding on SSH would be very cool. | 15:24 |
| escott | zykotick9, it ends up being much the same config as vnc. you run app -> xnest -> true display, but can switch the true display around behind the xnest (or xpra or xmove) instance without everything crashing. | 15:24 |
| escott | zykotick9, its possible that im wrong in that xnest can do this. it may not have all the bits needed to do the switching, but xpra xmove are built to do exactly this | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | !info xmove | 15:26 |
| ubottu | Package xmove does not exist in oneiric | 15:26 |
| zykotick9 | escott: thanks, it's certainly something I'll look into. | 15:26 |
| escott | !info xpra | 15:26 |
| ubottu | xpra (source: parti-all): tool to detach/reattach running X programs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.0.6+dfsg-1ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 39 kB, installed size 224 kB | 15:26 |

| sun_devil | Trying to print to a Kodak ESP 7 wireless, I don't think Ubuntu 10.4 supports that printer, cant find driver | 15:27 |
| zykotick9 | escott: http://code.google.com/p/partiwm/wiki/xpra starts with "Xpra gives you "persistent remote applications" for X." then later "So basically it's screen for remote X apps." sounds promising. | 15:28 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: Doesn't firefox just launch an ubuntu application to find them? In other words, I don't think it's firefox that does the gksu but is actually some other tool | 15:28 |

| sl33k_ | what command to use to update to a newer version of firefox? | 15:30 |
| dr_willis | !ff | 15:30 |
| ubottu | firefox is the default web browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion | To install plugins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins | 15:30 |
| sun_devil | I tried that and they don't offer anything, I think it needs a certain driver. Looked at the FAQ etc and nothing | 15:30 |
| cousin_luigi | Greetings. | 15:31 |
| razor85 | How do I remove a program installed from source again? "sudo make clean" does not work. What other options do I have? | 15:31 |
| sun_devil | Cups.org only offers (3) Kodak drivers? | 15:31 |
| cousin_luigi | Is it possible to remove every jre/jdk from the system? I tried, but the results aren't encouraging http://pastebin.com/HQeXaAZs . | 15:31 |
| dr_willis | theres linuxprinting.org also | 15:32 |
| escott | razor85, make uninstall but it may be too late if you already made clean. use checkinstall next time | 15:32 |
| martian | razor85: try make uninstall. make clean just cleans up temporary files created when compiling | 15:32 |
| arand | razor85: make uninstall provided the makefile supplies that, otherwise, do it manually... | 15:32 |
| arand | razor85: Hmm, you could probably do a checkinstall, and then remove it afterwards, that might get rid of it easier | 15:33 |
| escott | razor85, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo | 15:33 |
| sun_devil | Tried a test page and its says connected to local printer but nothing happens | 15:33 |
| dr_willis | check the cups logs? enable verbose logginh | 15:34 |
| razor85 | arand, escoot, martian: it says No rule to make target 'checkinstall' same with uninstall | 15:34 |
| arand | razor85: checkinstall is an application, used instead of make install | 15:35 |
| Ebron | uhm.. I connected to my home computer from work through ssh, now I'm home and see that I forgot to terminate the connection - how can I do that from this end? | 15:36 |
| rumpe1 | razor85, not "make checkinstall", just "checkinstall" | 15:36 |
| arand | razor85: It might work to do "sudo checkinstall" and then "sudo apt-get purge foobar" | 15:36 |
| escott | Ebron, you can just kill the parent shell that the session started. when ssh sees the child process die it will terminate the connection | 15:36 |
| FreeTech | Hi, I'm new here, Do most people use this server or irc.ubuntu.net | 15:37 |
| theadmin | FreeTech: ubuntu.net isn't official for all I know. The official Ubuntu channel is this one. | 15:37 |
| FreeTech | thanks | 15:37 |
| arand | FreeTech: Aren't they the same? | 15:37 |
| razor85 | arand: I first used "checkinstall lshell" and then "apt-get purge lshell" | 15:38 |
| razor85 | arand: none owrks | 15:38 |
| theadmin | FreeTech: Actually, seems ubuntu.net as a website redirects to ubuntu.com so hm... Not sure, but still, this is the official channel | 15:38 |
| chown_ | Is tehre a problem if i change my user name? My user home folder will change also? | 15:38 |
| cousin_luigi | ubuntu.net belongs to the spotchat network | 15:38 |
| dr_willis | i thought ubuntu.net as a freenode server | 15:38 |
| djQuery | the update manage keeps showing that there are updates available but when I click on it it doesnt open | 15:38 |
| escott | razor85, did you install checkinstall first? | 15:38 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: So, the application that actually does the work is gnome-codec-install which firefox simply launches, so THAT is what would need to change | 15:38 |
| razor85 | escot: yes | 15:38 |
| razor85 | escott* | 15:38 |
| arand | razor85: That's not how to use checkinstall, see my comment above | 15:38 |
| mr_pause | hello | 15:38 |
| djQuery | last thing I think I installed before this happened was playonlinux | 15:38 |
| mr_pause | Does anyone know how to configure the DHCP configuration priority ? | 15:38 |
| Ebron | escott: you mean something like 'ps waux|grep ssh|grep tty' followed by kill pid? | 15:39 |
| mr_pause | I mean, i have two intefaces, both using DHCP, and the second one is overwriting DNS setting (/etc/resolv.conf) of the first one | 15:39 |
| Ebron | where tty is the appropriate tty | 15:39 |
| mr_pause | I need this the other way around | 15:39 |
| escott | Ebron, i would kill the bash instance not the ssh instance. look at pstree to find the parent | 15:39 |
| === shubbar_ is now known as shubbar | ||
| CharminTheMoose | martian, was that intended for me? | 15:39 |
| razor85 | arand: So what's the purpose of checkinstall, it just installs it for me again. It says "Debian package creation selected." I didn't see you mentioned how to use it. | 15:39 |
| === lampe is now known as lampe2 | ||
| escott | razor85, but now there is an instance in the database so you can ask apt to remove it | 15:40 |
| arand | djQuery: What happens if you run "sudo apt-get install -f in a terminal" (just see what it says) | 15:40 |
| zykotick9 | razor85: once the DEB is created, install the deb "sudo dpkg -i FILENAME.deb" | 15:40 |
| lampe2 | hey iam useing ubuntu 12.04 and i cant install java7... i found a ppa but the key dont work can some one help? | 15:40 |
| zykotick9 | razor85: checkinstall is VERY handy, especially if you want to remove the package cleanly | 15:41 |
| sun_devil | Ubuntu is not very compatible with many printers | 15:41 |
| cousin_luigi | lampe2: are you using webupd8team/java ? | 15:41 |
| CharminTheMoose | martian, my bad, saw your other reply. Well I mean once I've selected the plugin to install, another box comes up that asks me for my password that looks very similar to gksu. And I know fromm previous experience that gksu-ing as root on ubuntu is a no-go. | 15:41 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: Line 91 of /usr/share/pyshared/GnomeCodecInstall/PackageWorker.py | 15:41 |
| lampe2 | cousin_luigi, no is there one from them? i will look for it | 15:41 |
| dr_willis | sun_devil: its more like the printer makers dont support cups | 15:41 |
| cousin_luigi | lampe2: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java | 15:41 |
| arand | zykotick9: Hmm, does chekcinstall set a different prefix by the way? | 15:41 |
| zykotick9 | arand: it might? no idea. | 15:42 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: you could just edit that to be gksudo :) | 15:42 |
| sun_devil | Kodak most likely has never heard of cups or Linux, so Iam not going to bother to call them, I know what they will say | 15:42 |
| lampe2 | thx cousin_luigi | 15:42 |
| Ebron | escott: what would have happened to the shell if I killed the ssh-process instead? | 15:42 |
| zykotick9 | sun_devil: would you claim "apple doesn't support many printers"? as they own CUPS | 15:42 |
| dr_willis | sun_devil: i bet they have heard of it.. its also used by os-x | 15:43 |
| dr_willis | apple bought cups ;} | 15:43 |
| djQuery | arand, it gives me a list of no longer required packages and this 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded. | 15:43 |
| sun_devil | I dont own a apple and somehow got mixed up with Kodak, which was a mistake | 15:43 |
| escott | Ebron, the shell should also die, but your ssh server might be confused by the sudden death of its children. if you dont care about that service ssh restart | 15:43 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis: a while ago, been to cups page in the last few years? | 15:43 |
| dr_willis | avoid canon printers also | 15:44 |
| razor85 | zykotick9, escott: Please have a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/855473/ . I really don't know what to do. | 15:44 |
| cousin_luigi | lampe2: do you happen to know how to completely remove the other java virtual machines? | 15:44 |

| sun_devil | Dont call Kodak, you get someone from India, no wonder Kodak is going BK | 15:45 |
| djQuery | arand, the update manager does open onto the "taskbar?" and I can right click on it and choose install updates. it just never opens its windows when clickin on it | 15:45 |
| razor85 | zykotick9: I was installing as root, in a unlimited shell the whole time. | 15:45 |
| razor85 | uninstalling* | 15:45 |
| arand | razor85: A looks like checkinstall uses a prefix or something :( | 15:45 |
| Chipzzz | bindi: apache can be fairly simple | 15:45 |
| Ebron | escott: thank you :) | 15:45 |
| escott | razor85, you might have confused apt by installing a deb when the files already existed. im not sure what apt will do when asked to remove a deb which installed files that already existed | 15:45 |
| bindi | Chipzzz: what, apache? i'm pretty sure that's not a SIP server | 15:45 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: weird. do you have a binary called gnome-codec-install? type "which gnome-codec-install" | 15:46 |
| zykotick9 | razor85: ah sorry, there are two commands in your paste - my bad | 15:46 |
| Chipzzz | sorry... thought the sip was a typing mistake | 15:46 |
| razor85 | arand, escott, zykotick9: What's the best thing to do now | 15:46 |
| `korvin | I'm trying to install wine, it keeps asking me to insert the kubuntu disc | 15:46 |
| CharminTheMoose | martian, Hmm, nope, I don't either. | 15:47 |
| escott | razor85, if the checkinstall doesnt remove the binary you have to make uninstall and pray it doesn't remove anything you need | 15:47 |
| arand | razor85: Well I'm guessing you're back to where you started, so removing manually, I guess? | 15:47 |
| turbotax | hi everyone | 15:47 |
| cousin_luigi | `korvin: either you insert the disc or remove the local repository | 15:47 |
| john_____ | hi | 15:47 |
| zykotick9 | `korvin: remove CDs from your available repos (somewhere in U.S.C i'd guess) | 15:47 |
| escott | razor85, you can look at the deb file to audit the files it installed and make sure nothing is critical tehre | 15:47 |
| sun_devil | I also can't refill my ink because they put a chip on the ink cartridge that tells printer it is empty when you refill it | 15:47 |
| cousin_luigi | sun_devil: I thought there were workarounds for that | 15:47 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: it's a debian distro you say? Not ubuntu? (I don't care heh) | 15:47 |
| ironhalik | Can I try Unity2d from the live cd? When I logout, check Unity2d log back in, it always starts Unity3D | 15:48 |
| razor85 | escott: Seems a good idea, will do that. | 15:48 |
| sun_devil | Nobody figured it out, even the places that make money refilling cartridges, if they had a workaround, they would use it to make money | 15:48 |
| CyberDawg | sun_devil, refill services that refill your cartridges replacereset those chips... Costco does for sure | 15:49 |
| ilari_ | Hello folks! Have anyone else problems with flash since last update? Youtube-videos still works somehow but almost nothing else will. Rightclicking videos shows that ''AVM2 - not supported'' | 15:49 |

| wormmd | I've internet'd all over the place for this: how do I remove gnome-panel? | 15:49 |
| sun_devil | Nope, tried it. They cant reset the chip | 15:49 |
| CharminTheMoose | martian, it's a debootstrapped ubuntu 11.04 install. So a basic install of bash, few other libs etc, then I chrooted into it and started adding packages from the official repositories. No Gnome/KDE DE stuff either. | 15:49 |
| wormmd | I'm running GNOME 3 Shell and the panel is showing up behind my transparent application bar. | 15:49 |
| shubbar | my Logitech webcam has vertical lines. Its C270, it should work as its in the compatible list | 15:49 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: oh nevermind I see what it is. Hmm. I don't know. Without being in the environment to poke around not much I can tell. Try to figure out what the binary is called that FF is calling to do the loading, view the source and see what's happening :-/ | 15:49 |
| razor85 | arand: It's lshell, a limited shell. | 15:49 |
| ff | s | 15:49 |
| ironhalik | shubbar: I know its not helpfull, but it works for me out of the box | 15:50 |
| CyberDawg | sun_devil, interesting... Costco does it for me all the time... they replace the chip I believe | 15:50 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: so despite the minimal userspace, FF still loads the install plugins thingy? | 15:50 |
| ironhalik | shubbar: I had some color issues with older nvidia drivers, had to use noveau or the latest ones from nvidia | 15:50 |
| shubbar | ironhalik, it the picture crisp clear? | 15:50 |
| ironhalik | shubbar: right now, yes | 15:50 |

| sun_devil | For Kodak? I have been to refill businesses and they turn me away | 15:51 |
| CharminTheMoose | martian, yes, the plugin-service-finder or so the taskbar says. Which then calls something that looks like gksu, when I'd rather have it run gksudo. :) | 15:51 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: I may have to look in to this debootstrap thing myself. been meaning to learn how to create a nice safe chroot environment for others to be able to develop on my servers | 15:51 |
| CyberDawg | sun_devil, what printer cartridge do you use? | 15:51 |
| shubbar | ironhalik, does nivida driver affect the webcam operation? | 15:51 |
| wormmd | I've internet'd all over the place for this: how do I remove gnome-panel? | 15:52 |
| wormmd | I'm running GNOME 3 Shell and the panel is showing up behind my transparent application bar. | 15:52 |
| CyberDawg | sun_devil, oh I dont know about Kodak stuff | 15:52 |
| ironhalik | shubbar: for me it did | 15:52 |
| zykotick9 | sun_devil: be sure to consider your experience, and do more research, before purchasing a printer next time. | 15:52 |
| CyberDawg | sun_devil, google is our friend :) | 15:52 |
| arand | razor85: YOu can use "dpkg --contents lshell.deb" | 15:53 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: what's the difference between gksu and gksudo anyway? | 15:53 |
| sun_devil | It has a color and b & w cartridges. 10b and 10c | 15:53 |
| razor85 | arand: Ah okay, will try it now. | 15:53 |
| escott | razor85, -c | 15:53 |
| arand | razor85: Isn't lshell using the python setup.py instead? | 15:53 |
| CharminTheMoose | martian, ah cool. Likewise I've been wanting to investigate ssh chroot jails etc. | 15:53 |
| zykotick9 | martian: on relies on su the other sudo (on ubuntu, i see no real difference) | 15:53 |
| Chipzzz | mormmd: have you tried auto-hiding the gnome panel? | 15:54 |
| CharminTheMoose | on ubuntu, you can't access root with su, even by setting a password, from what I've tried. | 15:54 |
| sun_devil | Hopefully others can learn from my mistake, its a family printer that I did not buy | 15:54 |
| CharminTheMoose | su/gksu rather | 15:54 |

| razor85 | arand: Honestly I can't even remember how I installed it, since it was a while ago. | 15:54 |
| sun_devil | I works fine on Vista, but Ubuntu is a pain | 15:55 |
| shubbar | ironhalik, which nvidia driver version are you using? I'm using 280.13 | 15:55 |
| arand | razor85: In case it does use the setup.py, it looks like the installed files are all listed in that script, in fact... | 15:55 |
| CharminTheMoose | escott, I did set a root password, so I know what it is. trouble is, gksu doesn't accept it/ | 15:55 |
| CharminTheMoose | Hence my issue. | 15:56 |
| ironhalik | shubbar: for me, the open source ones, nouveau work best, when I tried the nvidia ones, the latest were better then the 173 | 15:56 |
| Gentoo64 | CharminTheMoose, i think gksu has a properties gui where you can choose su or sudo | 15:56 |
| Gentoo64 | i think if its set to sudo gksu is linked to gksudo | 15:56 |
| razor85 | arand: I see, do you know the python argument to remove/uninstall? | 15:56 |
| martian | CharminTheMoose: anyway, maybe if you bring up the plugin-service-finder then hit ctrl-alt-f1, log in, and inspect what processes are running, you could find the actual binary | 15:56 |
| arand | razor85: Unfortunately there are none. | 15:57 |
| zykotick9 | CharminTheMoose: have you tried running any Xorg applications from your chroot (i'm guessing they currently will all fail to start)? gksu(do) is an X based application. | 15:57 |
| sun_devil | I have used the scanner and printer options on Vista, but Ubuntu only offers (4) known drivers | 15:57 |
| arand | razor85: But like I said, look in that script, I think the files are enumerated there | 15:57 |
| razor85 | arand: Yeah, they are. Doesn't look to harmless. What should I do now? | 15:57 |
| CharminTheMoose | Gentoo64, martian both very good ideas, I'll try them out. | 15:58 |
| Edson_JR | hi | 15:58 |

| razor85 | I installed this program called lshell, for limiting shell commands for others. I can't get it removed now. I manually removed the files but it's still showing up when I run the command. What do I do? And of course I tried all the uninstallation methods before that. | 16:06 |
| dr_willis | many printers have related frivers from other models that may work | 16:06 |
| ikonia | HP is a good example of that | 16:06 |

| starpile | (There are multiple repositories in the targeted directory | 16:13 |
| escott | razor85, there is sure to be other stuff too. like a man page and the like. also you should note that something like lshell would have to be very carefully constructed to make it work, its basically impossible to do correctly. a single interpreter and the whole security setup falls over | 16:14 |
| razor85 | escott: There is entries in /etc/passwd. Sure there are man pages, but those won't really bother me I guess? | 16:14 |

| sun_devil | I hooked up printer via usb, should I go with jetdirect with IP port 9100 or 2nd option of Kodak with device as printer? | 16:20 |

| lamer13300980470 | sun_devil there are good exploits for both so its 50/50 | 16:22 |
| ikonia | lamer13300980470: exploits....really, he just wants the printer working, connected by USB, | 16:23 |
| escott | starsinmypockets, it should although a nice trick to use with rsync and git is to set your exclude-from-file to be your .gitignore and then put .git into your .gitignore | 16:23 |
| sun_devil | I did the jetdirect and it search for drivers. Came up with error and still wants to search. MIght come up with another error | 16:24 |
| lamer13300980470 | if thatds the case either one would do the trick | 16:24 |
| ikonia | sun_devil: have you looked if the printer actually has any linux support ? | 16:24 |
| starsinmypockets | escott so that git and rsync share an ignore file... which includes .git | 16:24 |
| sun_devil | Its a Kodak, it doen't | 16:24 |

| sskalnik_ | Is there a stop-process command that takes process names? | 16:28 |
| bluetuga2000 | hi. could someone tell How i can I copy a directory to another in nautilus, with root permission? | 16:28 |
| escott | sskalnik_, killall | 16:28 |
| escott | bluetuga2000, you would need a root nautilus window (which I would discourage using) | 16:29 |
| sun_devil | I go to the Linux database for new printer and search for Kodak, gives (5) older models that are not ESP 7 | 16:29 |
| Pici | sskalnik_: kill `pidof processname` | 16:29 |
| bluetuga2000 | escott It's just to copy a theme to usr/shere/themes | 16:29 |
| ikonia | sun_devil: anything that of a similar period in time / specification ? | 16:29 |
| Chipzzz | sskalnik_: htop has a very convenient way of doing that | 16:29 |
| Boardinary | bluetuga2000, sudo mv -r [directory name here] [destination path here] without brackets | 16:29 |
| sskalnik_ | Cool, thanks all | 16:29 |
| bluetuga2000 | thanks Boardinary | 16:30 |
| Boardinary | bluetuga2000, thats is cut, copy is cp instead of mv | 16:30 |
| sskalnik_ | Is there any reason to not use the "service <foo> stop" syntax and instead type out the whole path? I always use the newer shorter form, but some of the old hands I know type it all out. | 16:31 |
| Boardinary | bluetuga2000, so use cp for copy and mv for cut | 16:31 |
| sun_devil | Easy Share printer doc, driver cups? ESP 5200 says recommended, another duplex and ditherered? | 16:31 |
| bluetuga2000 | ok . thanks Boardinary | 16:31 |

| sun_devil | Last time I tried the Easy Share printer-doc.....which did not work | 16:33 |
| Chipzzz | sskalnik_: the terminal grumbles at me when i don't use the service <foo> stop syntax, so I assume they will deprecate the older style in due course | 16:33 |

| escott | hero1900, no have to reinstall | 18:46 |
| hero1900 | okey thx | 18:46 |
| Antares | Hehehe, I wondered the same thing as hero1900 for my main laptop. Mint is not polished enough. :P | 18:46 |
| Antares | (I'm currently installing Ubuntu on it!) | 18:47 |
| Benxyzzy | I'm looping over the results of 'find' in a bash script. I want to also redirect the stderr of find (for logging). Anyone know how to do that? | 18:47 |
| Hiob10hiob | polished??? | 18:47 |
| Chill3r | guys quick question - please ? | 18:47 |
| escott | Benxyzzy, why are you looping over find results use -exec or xargs depending on need | 18:47 |
| Antares | For example, when I move my mouse cursor all the way to the right, it's not actually in the maximized window -- there is a strip of desktop space. | 18:48 |
| Chill3r | is there a script out there what will clean up your wireless settings and just connect to a specific network | 18:48 |
| Benxyzzy | escott: I'm doing string manipulation on the results and calling out to ftp in each loop. This is a script, not just the command line | 18:48 |
| escott | Benxyzzy, i bet you could do this without the loop, but in any case use tee to split your output and then you can send part to stderr | 18:49 |
| Benxyzzy | escott: tee sounds about right; unless I can call script functions via exec or xargs I don't see how I could avoid the loop | 18:50 |
| Pikkachu | doesn't Ubuntu font supports Unicode? | 18:52 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: I do have a 64MB gap before SDA1, but I'm not exactly sure on where to start, I usually work on the old stuff, but this grub2 set up thing is rather alienating. | 18:54 |

| Mrhill|2 | can i run dragon on ubuntu | 18:54 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, you only need 440bytes so add a small partition there select the type as grub_bios, then install grub-common package and see if grub-install does the correct thing. it should | 18:55 |
| Oer | Mrhill|2, dragon-player ? | 18:55 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: grub-common is already installed. | 18:56 |
| Ho^Oh | I'll just remove that in then install that again. | 18:56 |

| Jacobus123 | @0er what do you mean by having the iso? | 19:00 |
| _alex86_ | *emacs | 19:00 |
| nathanel__ | X is your display server | 19:00 |
| _alex86_ | ok | 19:00 |
| _alex86_ | doesn`t say much to me though. | 19:00 |
| Oer | Jacobus123, iso = downloaded ubuntu | 19:00 |
| theadmin | _alex86_: X = graphical environment core | 19:01 |
| geirha | _alex86_: with X support: gui, without X support: cli | 19:01 |
| _alex86_ | theadmin, alright | 19:01 |
| Hiob10hiob | cli = command line interface ; gui = graphical user interface | 19:01 |
| Jacobus123 | Okay, but do I still need the iso after installation for the update to the final version? Or does a update / upgrade suffice? | 19:01 |
| _alex86_ | geirha, cli - command line interface? | 19:02 |
| _alex86_ | ok | 19:02 |
| Oer | Jacobus123, no, you don't need it to upgrade, just in case you run in problems. | 19:02 |
| theadmin | Jacobus123: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade will do it, you don't need the ISO | 19:02 |
| nathanel__ | geirha: what's up? | 19:02 |
| nathanel__ | geirha: know anything about davfs2? | 19:02 |

| _alex86_ | Ho^Oh, ok. i wanna to learn emacs and vi | 19:04 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, this is a partition with a flag that is "grub_bios" thats how it appears in gparted. it does NOT have a mountpoint. it is NOT formatted. it is raw space for grub to put things that would go after the MBR which you dont have | 19:05 |
| theadmin | gandhijee_: Try installing lxrandr, it allows much easier (and more senseful) display configuration | 19:05 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: I just have no clue what to do wit hthis partition regarding /ubuntu/etc/fstab | 19:05 |

| qazokm | i mean to say, what runs the ubuntu desktop zykotick9 | 19:07 |
| nathanel__ | escott: great! so here's the deal. i have two separate box.com accts. i made two separate entries in fstab for those accounts. i also included the credentials as specified in the sample /etc/davfs2/secrets and set the config in that same directory. the folders mount both both show only my second account. | 19:07 |

| escott | Pikkachu, what do you mean by "it" | 19:09 |
| Pikkachu | Pici: that's the actual char, I typed <ctrl>+u2103 and sent it | 19:09 |

| elsombrero | hi all, im installing ubuntu oneiric, and i want to use zfs for the root filesystems as well. Im currently following this document: https://github.com/dajhorn/pkg-zfs/wiki/HOWTO-install-Ubuntu-to-a-Native-ZFS-Root-Filesystem . It says that i must create my boot partition wiith type BE (a solaris type). Can anybody tell me why this is needed for ubuntu? | 19:10 |
| escott | Pikkachu, I mean try a different font. the font you are using in the application doesn't have that symbol | 19:10 |
| geirha | nathanel__: the source for both mounts are identical ... | 19:10 |
| nathanel__ | geirha: no | 19:11 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: So far, I set the grub bios flag. THEN I deleted /boot/grub removed grub-common and grub* Then instaleld grub-common which seems to have installed without an error. Is there anything else I should be aware of? | 19:11 |
| Pici | Pikkachu: Thats the specific unicode for degrees celcius. I would't expect all fonts to have that glyph. | 19:11 |
| nathanel__ | pay attn. one is "gmail the other is "hotmail | 19:11 |

| Pikkachu | Pici: it's simply not properly rendered when using "Ubuntu". If I switch to "Segoe UI" it's rendered just fine | 19:11 |
| Pici | Pikkachu: i.e. the glyph contains "°C", not just "°" | 19:11 |
| Pikkachu | Pici: yes, so what? | 19:11 |
| escott | nathanel__, my secrets looks like: /media/box.net email@address password | 19:12 |
| nathanel__ | escott: the issue is not with mounting it. its with the separate acct recognition | 19:12 |
| martian | plm: I don't understand the question | 19:12 |
| escott | nathanel__, so if you have two box accounts you would need two mountpoints in fstab and two entries in secrets | 19:12 |

| neothecat | ActionParsnip, i was able to get to DHCP while booting off the live desktop disk. but i just rebooted into the installed, and i do not even get DHCP, and "/sys/class/net/eth0/carrier" is 0. i think it might be hardware. | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Lunar_Lander: is it enabled in startup items? Are you that bothered for something so redundant? | 19:30 |

| neothecat | ActionParsnip, rebooting again... i will try that soon. thank you. | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | RobinJ: what make and model system? Do you have a switch to enable or disable it? | 19:32 |
| escott | nathanel__, my guess its it some weird interaction with how mount is being called because this is a FUSE filesystem. its probably dropping privileges and then calling the mount command, but since the privs are dropped there is no home directory and no secrets file | 19:33 |

| gunfire007 | and really awesome to use.... | 20:32 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, i wonder if it could be !nomodeset | 20:32 |
| effigy_ | it's been less buggy once its configured to your hardware | 20:33 |
| azertyui | i allready got my domain name the problem is simply my server ip change | 20:33 |
| bastidrazor | azertyui: there is a #ubuntu-server channel that knows just about everything about servers. | 20:33 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, none of these kernels will boot at all? | 20:33 |
| Ho^Oh | At least, just the main one that I am mostly concerned of. | 20:33 |
| azertyui | and my question is simply how to point dynamic server ip address to my domain name | 20:33 |

| Athanasius | Running squeeze/sid :s | 20:33 |
| genii-around | azertyui: Check out nsupdate | 20:34 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: I've NEVER had this problem until I started "debootstrap install" with oneric and for the fact I'm using a 2TB harddrive. | 20:34 |
| Ho^Oh | I think natty has this problem too. | 20:34 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, is there some reason why you wanted to bootstrap | 20:34 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: It's the only way I can do this, I'm working on a remote server. | 20:34 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, ok | 20:35 |
| Ho^Oh | No gui easymode for me -.- | 20:35 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, so how do you know that there is a boot menu then? | 20:35 |
| `korvin | how can I see my graphics card info? | 20:38 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: Using an only V-KVM, some java thing that emulates VNC. | 20:39 |

| jwmto | i need to update my graphics driver (IMAC with ATI Radeon HD2600 driver) | 20:40 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: What exactly creates the /boot directory? Installing a kernel right? I think it's a good idea if I just whipe that out. | 20:40 |
| jwmto | can anyone help? -- the additional drivers setting seems ineffective | 20:40 |
| Ho^Oh | I'll backup, and then wipe it. | 20:41 |
| escott | Ho^Oh, the combination of the kernel install, grub-install update-grub and update-initramfs | 20:41 |
| nathanel__ | escott: still around? | 20:42 |
| escott | nathanel__, yes | 20:42 |
| thelegace | does anyone here know how to program with timers | 20:43 |
| jwmto | all I get is "Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: / var/log/jockey.log" | 20:43 |
| nathanel__ | escott: ok. well it seems the mounts are all functionnal expect 2 things: the mounts that show the error are misinterpreted somehow and show under the "computer" list in nautilus. then.. the other issue is that the mount folders don't seem to stick. i rebooted and they get "deleted" | 20:44 |
| nathanel__ | except* | 20:44 |
| redramires | hi | 20:45 |
| escott | nathanel__, i think i know what might be happening | 20:46 |
| nathanel__ | escott: ok | 20:46 |
| escott | nathanel__, umount everything, and then create the folders as root | 20:46 |
| escott | nathanel__, make sure you can mount the folders with mount. and then try nautilus. | 20:46 |
| Shipper | are there any news for ubuntu android? | 20:48 |
| nathanel__ | escott: everything went smooth and everything is in place: mounts are showing with the others on top now.. no residual stuff at the bottom and no empty icons | 20:48 |
| CFHowlett | Shipper ask at #ubuntu-phone | 20:48 |

| hydrox24 | Shipper: News as of when? | 20:50 |
| CFHowlett | hydrox24 greetings | 20:50 |
| escott | nathanel__, well udisks does more than mount. like udisks would be needed to make the mountpoint suid mount won't do that for you | 20:50 |
| nathanel__ | escott: and even though fstab states rw, i have to chmod to get permissions.. wtf | 20:50 |

| megasoft78 | how can I have static libpng, libjpeg on Ubuntu 11.10? | 20:50 |

| megasoft78 | I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit | 20:51 |
| escott | nathanel__, you sudo mounted and with users that means that the mounting user got ownership ie root | 20:51 |
| ssta | megasoft78: you need the -dev package I imagine | 20:52 |
| escott | nathanel__, sudo umount and the "mount " without sudo | 20:52 |
| ssta | megasoft78: libpng12-dev probably | 20:52 |
| megasoft78 | escott, I installed and I tried to use -static | 20:52 |
| dedicated1 | hi there, I found this link which shows that at least some options are available under ubuntu. But I have no idea where I can find: Device Drivers > Sound card support > ALSA > PCI sound devices. And also he talks about compiling and that I do not know either :( Anyone that can help me with that? ^_^ | 20:52 |
| nathanel__ | ok | 20:52 |
| megasoft78 | and .a file | 20:52 |

| nathanel__ | ill remove it and get back to you | 20:56 |
| escott | nathanel__, so how many touchpads did you buy :) | 20:57 |
| dedicated1 | escott, you think that these option might be already available in 11.10 without me knowing it? | 20:57 |
| nathanel__ | touchpads? | 20:57 |
| escott | dedicated1, lsmod | grep snd will tell you what drivers you are currently using | 20:58 |
| nathanel__ | escott: touchpads? | 20:58 |
| escott | nathanel__, the hp touchpad came with a free 50gb on box.net. i thought maybe you bought a bunch of them | 20:58 |
| nathanel__ | no | 20:58 |

| adfasdfj | Hey guys, I can't seem to get Ubuntu to print to my network printer. | 20:58 |
| nathanel__ | i have 3 so far | 20:59 |
| adfasdfj | I found the printer. Added it. And have tested a page, but it always gets stuck. | 20:59 |
| adfasdfj | I'm afraid it might be a bad print driver or something. | 20:59 |
| adfasdfj | The printer is a HP PSC 1210, and Ubuntu says it only has drivers for 1200 | 20:59 |
| adfasdfj | I downloaded the 1200 one, hoping it'd work for all the 1200 series (1210 included), but I think it might now. | 20:59 |

| jsebean | How do I setup Ubuntu to record both the audio of skype and my microphone? | 21:02 |
| nathanel__ | escott: no the @ symbol wasnt it | 21:02 |
| nathanel__ | my hunch would be with groups | 21:02 |
| jsebean | On windows I used Stereo Mix and unmuted my microphone | 21:02 |
| CFHowlett | jsebean see Skype Call Recorder | 21:02 |
| escott | dedicated1, then you are using onboard sound most likely. you can check and see if the needed module is in the /lib/modules if not you would have to build your own | 21:02 |
| Ho^Oh | escott: The rescuemode for the server kernel at least boots, but the main regular boot isn't working. | 21:03 |
| jsebean | CFHowlett: I want to do it with a screen recorder | 21:03 |
| escott | nathanel__, well if you are in plugdev | 21:03 |
| escott | !nomodeset | Ho^Oh try this | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Ho^Oh try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 21:03 |
| jsebean | CFHowlett: Basically I want to record everything from the PC, including the mic. So all audio | 21:03 |

| adfasdfj | hydrox24: What hp-setup command? Like, just type hp-setup in the terminal? | 21:03 |
| CFHowlett | jsebean I know there's a way, but I've never done that set up. sorry. | 21:03 |

| ActionParsnip | Effigy-: wine, or crossoveroffice / cedega (crossover and cedega are not free in any way) | 21:10 |
| escott | nathanel__, create a ~/.davfs2, and put a davfs2.conf file in there and put your secrets file in there. no need to have a secrets file in /etc | 21:10 |

| jsebean | CFHowlett, hydrox24: Basically the goal is we want to play minecraft, have other players on a server talking on skype, and record the audio from my computer, the skype chatters and the game sounds (minecraft sounds) itself all at the same time being recorded by the screen recorder. Of at most, in audacity and sync the audio with the video later | 21:11 |
| CFHowlett | jsebean sorry, as I said, IDK. My theory is you'd run one app to capture skype input and another app to capture mic, e.g. skype-call-recorder (or simillar) and Audacity. Audacity can be set up to capture the system/mic sounds. NOTE: theory only. I've never tested it. But Audacity is quite adaptable. | 21:11 |
| escott | nathanel__, if you wanted to have global access to the davfs mounts (ie not just for your main user) you would need to do something weird to get around the users issue, but i doubt the user could ever mount it | 21:11 |
| Effigy- | fantastic, I'll read. thx for the link | 21:11 |
| CFHowlett | jsebean You don't have to do all the recording on the same box, right? 1 box records all skype, other records all mic/system sounds | 21:11 |
| CFHowlett | jsebean meet up later to synch audios... | 21:12 |
| ssta | aren't there skype plugins to do this stuff? | 21:12 |
| nathanel__ | ok | 21:12 |
| DeltaSaucer | My experience from running a live Ubuntu CD to view a movie with the family: the screen was black and white, the file (from the USB memstick) could not be played even though it was a normal .avi, and Ubuntu made the fans sound like a jet engine. | 21:12 |
| jsebean | CFHowlett: Well the skype vs other records mic/system sounds isnt the really the problem, thing is i can only get ubuntu to 1. Record my mic only or 2. record skype and all system sounds but not my mic | 21:12 |
| nathanel__ | escott: copied conf and moved secrets to home | 21:12 |
| nathanel__ | still the same | 21:13 |
| hydrox24 | jsebean: if your happy to, then I would first familiarize myself with pulseaudio, with its abilities to change output input devices etc. and then if you are really serious, look into JACK | 21:13 |
| escott | nathanel__, did you remove the conflicting entries from the /etc/davfs files | 21:13 |
| nathanel__ | ya | 21:13 |
| nathanel__ | it's been removed since 2 hrs ago when you posted your config | 21:13 |
| escott | nathanel__, and did you update the conf to reference ~/.davfs2/secrets as the secrets file, and are those files properly chmod'ed and chown'ed | 21:13 |
| CFHowlett | jsebean how's this...conference call the skype and have another skyper record audio and you record system sounds... | 21:13 |
| adfasdfj | Bleh. Ubuntu can't print to HP PSC 1210. | 21:14 |
| adfasdfj | Another thing Ubuntu can't do... | 21:14 |
| adfasdfj | Later guys | 21:14 |
| hydrox24 | adfasdfj: It should be able to, ubuntu has always had good compatibility with HP | 21:14 |
| adfasdfj | I've fought with it for a few hours now | 21:14 |

| nathanel__ | chmod 655 chown nathanel? | 21:14 |
| adfasdfj | Yes fine | 21:15 |
| jsebean | hydrox24: I got pulseaudio to sort of do what I want. I can get it to record everything, skype, minecraft, even youtube, but not my microphone | 21:15 |
| ssta | adfasdfj: prints to my psc 1410 just fine...I can't imagine 1210 is all THAT much different | 21:15 |
| adfasdfj | Better be a one-liner | 21:15 |
| nathanel__ | escott: chmod 655 chown nathanel? | 21:15 |
| CFHowlett | jsebean break up the task between different boxes... | 21:15 |
| escott | nathanel__, just chown them to nathanel:nathanel and then see what the permission are with ls -l | 21:15 |
| jsebean | CFHowlett: That's a lot of work lol | 21:15 |
| escott | nathanel__, 755 for the conf and 700 for the secretes | 21:15 |
| CFHowlett | jsebean you sound like a clever guy, I'm sure you can arrange it. Besides, if you're minecraft multiplayer, you've already got a network going. Just have someone else record the skype stream. | 21:16 |
| nathanel__ | escott: done | 21:16 |
| nathanel__ | still get the nobody error | 21:17 |
| jsebean | CFHowlett: I think I can arrange something. If I was privileged to have a real mixing board then I'd be set lol | 21:17 |

| haux | Ok, xubuntu will no longer load into a GUI. It loads straight to command prompt. When I try to xstart, it errors, saying "no screen found". The only possible cause I can think of is that I can UbuntuTweak earlier, and did a "Janitor" cleanup which erased (what it reffered to as) unneeded configurations/packages. Can anyone think of what specifically might have been deleted and how to resolve this without a reinstall? | 21:36 |
| haux | *ran | 21:36 |
| yshavit | rypervenche: meh, at this point I'm not too worried about recovering anything. It didn't run long, and anything important is backed up. I mostly want to see what got deleted so I can know what to recreate. | 21:36 |

| mun | guntbert, because i have a cronjob that calls su | 22:02 |

| vinc_ | I've a question: Is there a way to remap the AltGr key to Ctrl with setxkbmap? | 22:03 |
| guntbert | mun: a cron job needing a X display?? | 22:03 |
| mun | ssta, what does it do? | 22:03 |
| mun | guntbert, yes that too. | 22:03 |
| ssta | mun: same as su, but allows the user to use the originating user's X session | 22:03 |
| guntbert | ssta: sux doesn't exist on ubuntu | 22:03 |
| guntbert | mun: in my eyes a terrible idea | 22:04 |
| mun | guntbert, why's that? | 22:04 |
| Ububulle | hello, does one of you tried to test a new distrib on a USB key, but even with the Bios setup to boot on a remote drive, the USB key does't load..does it sounds familar to one of you, please? | 22:04 |
| ssta | guntbert: hmm, I seem to have it available...maybe it was removed afterwards or somethng | 22:04 |
| guntbert | mun: because cron jobs are essentially not intended for anything interactive - they should just run | 22:05 |
| mun | guntbert, well my cronjob isn't interactive. it just displays a notification. | 22:05 |
| CFHowlett | Ububulle the only time I've had that trouble has been when I was too lazy to md5sum the iso... | 22:06 |
| mithrop | Ububulle: are you sure your USB key is actually bootable ? | 22:06 |
| CFHowlett | Ububulle also, does your computer support usb boot? | 22:06 |

| mun | guntbert, well it's for monitoring the battery level of my mouse. | 22:06 |
| guntbert | mun: i see - why must that cronjob run as root? | 22:08 |

| pietro_ | Hi. I'm running 11.04 because I don't want to move up to GNOME 3, Unity doesn't work right with enhanced zoom desktop in compiz, and other DEs don't have things I'd like (like no clicking on the laptop trackpad). I have to work with an SDL package that relies on SDL_ttf 2.0.10+, and the latest version available is 2.0.9. I can't remove it either, because it's a dependency of a number of programs I'd rather keep. What should I do? Thanks. | 23:43 |
| zzecool | ahh i see | 23:43 |
