| elijah | jerry2: Did you run an ifconfig on the server? | 00:10 |
| jerry2 | elijah: alright thanks | 00:10 |
| nishttal2 | pfifo,, hi.. we were talking earlier today and you and others advised me to setup a non-RAID partition for /boot | 00:10 |
| nishttal2 | pfifo, well i assigned 64MB to it.. why is the software center trying to install there | 00:10 |
| pfifo | jerry2, all you want todo is add more static IPs to a server? | 00:10 |
| pfifo | nishttal2, its trying to build your initrd, and its building it on /boot | 00:11 |
| nishttal2 | arand, http://pastebin.com/RPVFKNmB | 00:11 |
| nishttal2 | pfifo, should it? | 00:11 |
| nishttal2 | pfifo, if thats the case then /boot should be a lot bigger rt? | 00:11 |
| arand | nishttal2: That is where linux kernel images go, genereally you'd want 200MB or more | 00:11 |
| pfifo | nishttal2, it seems reasonable, you might be able to change that behavior | 00:11 |
| nishttal2 | arand, hmm.. would i grow everytime i install something? | 00:12 |
| jerry2 | elijah: looks like i need to add more eth0 , there are currently 3 , eth0 , eth0:0 , eth0:1 | 00:12 |
| nishttal2 | arand, would it* | 00:12 |
| arand | nishttal2: Only when you install a new kernel | 00:12 |
| whatasunnyday | Hi, I have question that is probably asked way too much. I'm installing Ubuntu on my external SSD. I'm just setting it up now so I can pop it in later when I have more free time. I noticed that a lot of people suggest using logical partitions for Linux. From what I read, I think I want a 20 gb OS installation and a 10 GB home folder. My SSD is 240 gigs so I guess I would use the rest for windows + storage. How exactly do I parti | 00:13 |
| nishttal2 | arand, but I was trying to install XChat.. not a new kernel | 00:13 |
| arand | nishttal2: You can make sure to remove old kernels, but just 60GB is still a bit small. | 00:13 |
| whatasunnyday | Do I make a 30 gb extended and two logical? | 00:13 |
| elijah | Can grep also search filenames, like the find command? | 00:13 |
| arand | nishttal2: It was likely a semi-automatic update | 00:13 |
| elijah | jerry2: Yeah, that is an interesting scenario, I am sure it is simple once you know what to do | 00:13 |
| elijah | jerry2: Are your existing IPs assigned to the eth0/1/2 ? | 00:14 |
| whatasunnyday | Or do I make two seperate ext4 and set the mount points seperately? | 00:14 |

| === webnetvn is now known as webnet | ||
| nishttal2 | arand, i see so 200MB then? | 00:14 |
| arand | elijah: Not unless you pipe the output from ls or so, so not really. | 00:14 |
| pfifo | nishttal2, I suppose you need to iuncrease the size of /boot i couldnt find a configuration option for that, why dont you just make boot 4+GB you have plenty of space | 00:14 |
| jerry2 | elijah: think this does it http://unclean.org/howto/secondip.html | 00:15 |
| nishttal2 | pfifo, arand.. yeah i have plenty of disc space.. but I only want to allocate what would be needed... so 4GB? | 00:15 |
| arand | nishttal2: pfifo Normally /boot uses about 50MB, I'm guessing that during an upgrade more is required. | 00:15 |
| elijah | arand: thanks, I just tried ls | and see what you mean | 00:16 |
| pfifo | nishttal2, 4GB gives plenty of room to prevent future problems regarding diskspace | 00:16 |
| nishttal2 | pfifo, ok thats what i wanted to hear .. ;-).. thanks guys.. see you in an hour | 00:16 |
| * arand would go with 500MB | 00:16 | |
| elijah | nishttal2: definitely allocate 4x what you think you will need, apt-get stores a lot of stuff by default, stuff grows | 00:16 |
| diverdude | is there a good place to learn how to build .deb packs? | 00:16 |

| arand | erm.. /boot | 00:17 |
| elijah | arand: sorry, i thought you were talking about the whole system | 00:17 |
| whatasunnyday | Maybe I should rephrase my question to be a little less wordy and disorganized. | 00:17 |

| whatasunnyday | If I want to make my ubuntu partition say, 20 gigs, say 20 for my OS install and 20 for my home folder, how should I seperate the partitions? Should it be 1 40 gb primary with two logical? Or two seperate 20s? What do I set as the mount points? | 00:19 |
| === webnetvn is now known as webnet | ||
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, 2 20's one on / and the other on /home | 00:19 |
| jbrks | whatasunnyday, make it easy.. just use 1 "/" and 1 for "swap" | 00:19 |
| nishttal2 | oh one more thing guys.. should i try 12 or stick to 11.10 | 00:20 |
| jbrks | whatasunnyday, minimum u need is 2 | 00:20 |
| nishttal2 | i mean there would be bugs.. but is it stable ? | 00:20 |
| whatasunnyday | should they both be logical? | 00:20 |
| whatasunnyday | and they both be ext 4? | 00:20 |
| whatasunnyday | i'm not sure what this begining/end business means | 00:20 |
| jbrks | whatasunnyday, how many other partitionsare there? | 00:20 |
| jbrks | whatasunnyday, linux doesnt care if its pri or logical-- | 00:20 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, logical/primary makes no difference in ubuntu | 00:20 |
| whatasunnyday | right now, zero, i would like 40 gigs to ubuntu paritioned into 3, home, os, swap | 00:20 |
| whatasunnyday | i see | 00:20 |
| mastj | how do i reset x11 for gnome so It can properly boot right into gdm or w/e? | 00:21 |
| jbrks | whatasunnyday, a waste of disk space.. simply use "/" | 00:21 |
| whatasunnyday | make 1 big 40 gb partition jbrks? | 00:21 |
| jbrks | mastj, by default the latest gdm insn't the login manager installed | 00:22 |
| nishttal2 | how come i cant download version 12 anyone? | 00:22 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, i disagree / and /home on seperate partitions help keep your data safe | 00:22 |
| jbrks | whatasunnyday, make the swap twice the size of your ram | 00:22 |

| jbrks | whatasunnyday, as a beginner make it simple.. just use 2 partitions.. makes it easier to work with | 00:23 |
| whatasunnyday | i was under the impression that it makes it easier to update | 00:23 |

| jbrks | whatasunnyday, there also isnt much speed gain-- its only for server there is speed gain.. (log seperation etc) | 00:23 |
| whatasunnyday | hmm | 00:23 |
| whatasunnyday | that makes sense | 00:23 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, if you make 1 big partition you will lose all your personal data when you reinstall, if its on a seprate /home partition you can save it all | 00:23 |
| exu_ | hi, i'm trying to diagnose a hardware issue, using the xubuntu live cd. i have 2 hdd's on a pcie scsi adapter, and although the adapter is showing up in lspci's output, the drives connected to it are not showing up under /dev/sd* or in gparted. any ideas? | 00:24 |
| jbrks | pfifo, he can install without a wipeout | 00:24 |
| jbrks | (ubuntu can upgrade) | 00:24 |
| whatasunnyday | jbrks that's my only concern, upgrades | 00:24 |
| jbrks | whatasunnyday, i upgrade a 10.x to 11.x -- didnt have issues really | 00:24 |

| pfifo | in the end its upto you, as you can see, what works for me doesnt work for jbrks and might not work for you either | 00:25 |
| whatasunnyday | pfifo: for the sake of academics, if i was going to set two partitions, do I set one mount point as '/' and the other as /home | 00:25 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, exactly | 00:25 |
| whatasunnyday | and is there anything i need to do to "merge" them? | 00:25 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, no | 00:25 |
| whatasunnyday | okay, if i make two logical ext4, would that be fine? | 00:26 |
| whatasunnyday | (there are no other partitions on the disc) | 00:26 |
| jbrks | whatasunnyday, you're wasting time.. because a linux standard desktop usually isnt more than 7 gigs.. and you're throwing it on a 40 gig partition | 00:26 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, i would go primary if you only plan on having 2 partitions | 00:26 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, that is true, i would have a 8g and a 32g for /home | 00:27 |
| === rick_ is now known as orionsonofneptun | ||
| whatasunnyday | hmm | 00:27 |
| whatasunnyday | okay | 00:27 |
| whatasunnyday | would 10, 20 be a better breakdown? | 00:27 |
| whatasunnyday | for '/' and home respectively | 00:28 |
| whatasunnyday | also, pfifo, i am planning to install windows later. | 00:28 |
| atome | hi there | 00:28 |
| atome | I would like to assign keyboard keys on a joystick... ? | 00:28 |
| whatasunnyday | as well as 1 more distro | 00:28 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, 10g for root should be sufficient | 00:28 |
| atome | how can I do ? | 00:28 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, on that same drive? | 00:28 |
| whatasunnyday | yes | 00:28 |
| jbrks | This is my processor- http://ark.intel.com/products/spec/SR05S -- But i do not know what cpuscaling module i should load with it. Anyone has a link that can tell me? | 00:29 |
| maum | how can I flash plugin in ubuntu 11.10? | 00:29 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, well then you should plan out your entire partition tagble ahead of time or plan on wiping it all out when you want windows (re installing linux) | 00:29 |
| whatasunnyday | okay pfifo, this is what i had in mind. 10 gb ubuntu, 10 gb backtrack 5, 80 gb windows 2 swap, rest file space | 00:30 |
| elijah | Does anyone know how I can install the imap.so for PHP? I am getting this warning on launch when running Drush (php program) in the CLI "PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/imap.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/imap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0" | 00:31 |
| whatasunnyday | also, 20 gb home. i forgot about that. sorry. | 00:31 |
| elijah | #php said to ask here | 00:31 |
| pfifo | make the windows partition the very first partition of the drive, then make the rest of the drive an extended and fill with what ever you need | 00:32 |
| i7c | isn't there any better/new version of skype than that ugly one =) | 00:32 |
| i7c | it works so much smoother on windows | 00:32 |
| atome | anyway thanks ... qjoypad | 00:33 |
| whatasunnyday | pfifo, sorry for the dumb questions but then it would be an 80 gb primary drive, the rest primary and logical extensions of that? | 00:33 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, [windows 80] { (extended) [logical 10] [logical 10] [swap 2] [home 20] free space for later on } | 00:34 |
| whatasunnyday | ahhh, thanks | 00:34 |
| whatasunnyday | so in the end its two partitions, with extensions for the linux partition? | 00:35 |
| pfifo | 2 primapry partitions with as many logicals as you want for linux and files | 00:35 |
| whatasunnyday | thanks pfifo | 00:35 |
| whatasunnyday | that was an excellent explanation | 00:36 |
| maum | how can I flash plugin in ubuntu 11.10? | 00:36 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, just make sure you put the windows at the very front and as the first partiton, then you can nuke all the rest when you figure out how you like it | 00:36 |
| whatasunnyday | does that mean i have to install windows first? | 00:37 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, not at all, just make the partition for use later on (but other circumstances make installing windows first a very good move) | 00:37 |
| maum | I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer but the website which has flash telling me that upgrade the flash version | 00:37 |
| maum | I don't know why. | 00:38 |
| jbrks | anybody knows if i should install a cpufreq daemon or is there already one built-in by default? | 00:38 |
| pfifo | jbrks, are you on a laptop? | 00:39 |
| jbrks | no | 00:39 |
| pfifo | jbrks, then dont use any cpu scaling | 00:39 |
| jbrks | pfifo, i installed nothing, but i do get similar output as from this webpage http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ | 00:39 |
| whatasunnyday | pfifo, i guess i shouldn't use the ubuntu installer to setup the partitions since it doesn't give me the ntfs option or ability to set a first partition as far as i can tell. | 00:39 |
| whatasunnyday | i should probably use gparted then, huh? | 00:40 |
| jbrks | so i'm guessing the kernel/modded has something already | 00:40 |
| pfifo | whatasunnyday, use 'gparted' utility from the livecd | 00:40 |
| kaspir | i have a watermark on my screen that says amd unsupported hardware. how do i get rid of this/ check my drivers? | 00:40 |
| maum | I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer but the website which has flash telling me that upgrade the flash version | 00:40 |
| whatasunnyday | awesome, great pfifo | 00:40 |
| jbrks | whatasunnyday, windows works best on the first partition(and make it a primary) | 00:40 |
| whatasunnyday | thank you so much | 00:40 |

| pfifo | worrow, if it offeres 3.0 choose that, but 2.6 should suffice | 01:15 |
| worrow | pfifo, thank you, I will use that selection. I know 3.0 does not yet exist in this version of fusion. | 01:16 |
| worrow | maybe a future update will include but unsure. Linux may have to submit the kernel to the | 01:16 |

| diverdude | escott: prepackaged with OS comes ver. 2.4.11, but i need 2.4.13 | 01:24 |
| escott | diverdude, if you are installing by hand you will have to deal with any conflicts you may have introduced | 01:24 |
| diverdude | escott: so what will be the best way to proceed with that endevour? | 01:25 |
| escott | diverdude, i don't know the answer to that question, but a prefix is often a good idea, and checkinstall is a very good idea. you might check for a ppa if you have not already | 01:25 |
| diverdude | escott: there is no ppa :( | 01:25 |

| R00tz | mount? | 01:31 |
| mystique | hi, I'm running ubuntu on virtual machine and the wireless isn't working. It's automatically selecting ethernet and not giving me much of an option to change | 01:32 |
| Corey | R00tz: Yes. "mount" without the quotes, press enter. | 01:32 |
| === blackmatrix_ny is now known as _m0rgue | ||
| Corey | mystique: Urm... most virtual machines don't have wireless adapters. | 01:32 |
| Corey | mystique: They bridge ethernet to whatever the host uses. | 01:32 |
| wingdspur | mystique you would be using a virtual network adapter anyway | 01:32 |
| R00tz | http://pastebin.com/faF0MGFX | 01:33 |
| Corey | R00tz: False positives, you can ignore them. | 01:33 |
| haux | Can anyone here provide some assistance with configuring Apache for ubuntu? | 01:34 |
| Corey | haux: If you ask a more specific question, probably. | 01:34 |
| R00tz | oh ok because i have been infect before that's why i'm asking | 01:34 |
| R00tz | tyvm sir | 01:34 |
| Corey | R00tz: And ideally you improved your security practices since. | 01:34 |
| haux | I asked above, but here it is again: I have set ServerName to my ip address. Is there anything else I really need to do? In any case, it's not working. When *I* go to my ip address, it brings up my DSL modem configuration. And obviously it doesn't work for anybody else. Going to 127.0.0.1 shows the Apache test page. | 01:34 |
| R00tz | yes | 01:35 |
| R00tz | i learned a lot | 01:35 |
| Corey | haux: "Your" IP address? | 01:35 |
| Corey | haux: If you're | 01:35 |
| Corey | Er. | 01:35 |
| mystique | Corey, cool. thank you | 01:35 |
| Corey | haux: if you're talking about the external IP, you need a port forward in some form. | 01:35 |
| haux | Corey. I guess I'm referring to the WAN IP. | 01:36 |
| Corey | haux: Yeah, definitely need to forward from that IP to the internal IP of your computer, at least on port 80 but possibly on 443 as well if you're using SSL. | 01:36 |
| haux | Corey, I added forwarding on port 80 on the DSL modem config. | 01:36 |
| Corey | And this of course assumes that port 80 isn't blocked. | 01:36 |
| haux | Corey, let me go look at it again. | 01:37 |
| Corey | Looks like it may be, nothing's responding on your IP on port 80 | 01:37 |
| Corey | A common issue with residential IPs. | 01:37 |
| dagerik | Is it safe to tar my home folder? | 01:38 |
| dagerik | And later restore it. | 01:38 |
| haux | Corey, so "Web Server" forwards port 80 and 443. 80 and 443 are shown in columns Port Start, Port End, and Port Map. Does this part sound correct so far? | 01:39 |
| Corey | Yes. What doesn't sound correct is that I think your ISP filters those ports from the outside, as you've got a residential class connection. | 01:40 |
| Corey | dagerik: Sure, but you may not be able to log in. | 01:40 |
| frogzoo | what's the gnome vnc applet? | 01:40 |
| Corey | dagerik: So set up a backup account just in case. | 01:40 |

| haux | Corey, if that is the case, I assume there's no way around it? | 01:41 |
| hydrox24 | !anyone | _m0rgue | 01:42 |
| ubottu | _m0rgue: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 01:42 |
| Corey | haux: Upgrade your connection class, bind to an alternate port (8080 is popular), or host your stuff somewhere else. | 01:44 |
| _m0rgue | thanks hydrox24 but I have kinda given up hope on it...this is my third time raising the question in different format :-( | 01:44 |
| Corey | _m0rgue: It's your problem, not mine-- I'm not likely to /lastlog to see what your specific issue is. | 01:45 |
| Corey | Make it easy for people to help you. | 01:45 |
| haux | Corey, I tried other ports via "Listen" in the config with no success. I think I might be doing that incorrectly? | 01:45 |
| frogzoo | !vnc | 01:45 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 01:45 |
| Corey | haux: It sounds like you're putting the cart before the horse. | 01:46 |
| Corey | haux: Make sure you can hit it on your internal IP (not the loopback) first. | 01:46 |
| Corey | Once that's working, then let's talk about getting the rest of the world to see it. | 01:46 |
| _m0rgue | Corey, whatever mayn...jeez | 01:46 |
| Corey | 127.0.0.1 is the loopback, for reference. | 01:46 |
| Corey | _m0rgue: Your call, I'm just trying to assist you in asking for help. | 01:46 |

| haux | Corey, this may save you some trouble, going to 192.168.137.82 shows the Apache test page. If you still need to see the ifconfig output I'll show you. | 01:49 |

| dagerik | haux: Are you trying to reach your own server from the same machine that the server is running on? | 02:13 |
| escott | danny, it would be a script which you can write and test on the cli. it should look something like: "#!/bin/bash\n mv screenshot.png `date --rfc-3339=seconds`_screenshot.png\n while true\n do\n sleep 300;\n screenshot-app\n done | 02:13 |
| haux | dagerik, I am. | 02:13 |
| dagerik | haux: Try http://localhost:59071 | 02:13 |
| haux | dagerik, localhost work, and my local IP works. It doesn't work on port 59071 | 02:14 |
| mao | hello,how can I set the gnome-terminal's tab bar bottom | 02:14 |
| [[thufir]]1 | dagerik: that script just hangs. There's 6+GB available space, but the slice is only ~500MB. I would rather not use a script, and just use DAR directly, but don't know the syntax. | 02:14 |
| dagerik | haux: Let mee see the line in ports.conf that starts with "Listen" | 02:15 |
| dagerik | haux: You can do that like this; grep Listen /etc/apache2/ports.conf | 02:15 |
| [[thufir]]1 | dagerik: of course, now the slice is 1.5GB, so maybe it's just quite slow. ok, I'll wait a bit...? | 02:15 |
| reder | hi i want to install firebird with rpm files but giving this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/881324/ can any body help me about this | 02:16 |
| haux | dagerik, Listen 80. I added Listen 59071 in httpd.conf | 02:16 |
| dagerik | haux: Obviously, you need to learn to configure apache. | 02:16 |

| Wildbat | I have try to boot a Native Win7 (64bit) under Virtual Box in ubuntu 10.04 ~ but it enter a boot loop anyone have a solutions? | 02:17 |
| dagerik | haux: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default is probably the file you wanna configure. Unless you have clutteed with cirtual hosts before. | 02:17 |
| [[thufir]]1 | mao: what do you mean? the size of the window? doesn't GNOME just remember? | 02:17 |
| haux | dagerik, you would be correct. I installed apache in windows years ago without issue and no custom configuration. I have never installed it in ubuntu. | 02:17 |
| dagerik | haux: Well, it now runs on port 80. More problems we must fix? :) | 02:18 |
| [[thufir]]1 | is 4500MB the correct size to set DAR for DVD-R media? | 02:19 |
| haux | dagerik, let me add 59071 to ports.conf then, and I'll see what happens. Port 80 doesn't work for me in any case. When I go to my external IP, my modem config comes up, and it doesn't work for anyone else. I don't need this to be on port 80 anyway. | 02:20 |
| mao | [[thufir]]1: I mean,while the gnome-termianl's tab bar is on the top indefault,but I want let it on the bottom.Is there any way | 02:20 |
| dagerik | haux: Obviously, you also need to learn about network. If you are behind a router which does NAT-ing, then you have an internal ip such as 192.168.2.45 which is only visible on your lan. You can use that one, or 127.0.0.1 or localhost to reach yourself. | 02:21 |
| haux | There is no router. Just a DSL modem. | 02:22 |
| reder | hi i want to install a rpm files but taking this error on ssh http://paste.ubuntu.com/881324/ can any body help me about this | 02:22 |
| [[thufir]]1 | mao: ohhh. you must stand on your head or something :) ok, hmm. that may not be be possible. you googled it? I'll google too, nothing else to do ATM. | 02:22 |
| dagerik | Your "external" ip is 71.29.245.171 your routers ipaddress. | 02:22 |
| [[thufir]]1 | mao: gnometweak? did you try that? | 02:23 |
| haux | dagerik, I know this. | 02:23 |
| soaringsky | reder: rpm is not ubuntu's packaging system. you'll probably have lots of problems with it | 02:24 |
| dagerik | haux: Remember to restart apache after each change to config files. Also; if you want the outside world to reach your http server, you need to instruct your router to send data towards your pc. | 02:24 |
| mao | [[thufir]]1: thank you,i'll try | 02:24 |
| soaringsky | !rpm | reder | 02:24 |
| ubottu | reder: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 02:24 |
| dagerik | haux: apache can be restartet like this: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 02:24 |
| haux | dagerik, I know that too. | 02:25 |
| soaringsky | dagerik: haux: you can also do service apache2 restart | 02:25 |
| hydrox24 | haux: the proper way on buntu is sudo service apache2 restart | 02:25 |
| haux | dagerik, It's the configuration I am having difficulty with, not understanding networks or how to restart apache. | 02:25 |
| roasted | Question - is there a way I can set my Ubuntu desktop to automatically turn on at a certain time? | 02:25 |
| dagerik | haux: I want to help you! What is the problem now? | 02:26 |
| halversondm | DNS - I setup a Ubuntu Server 11.10 for the purpose of home network. Host a website, etc. I set the DNS on the server for my internal domain name. To test I set my laptop on wireless to use the internal DNS. no issues. Everything works just fine. BUT I want that internal DNS available to all computers that connect to my router. So I updated the router to have the primary IP of my server and the secondary of an OpenDNS server. | 02:26 |
| Whiskey | sudo apt-get remove --purge && autoremove build-essential | 02:26 |
| halversondm | Now when I try to access my website (again just on my internal network) it doesn't work | 02:26 |
| soaringsky | roasted: not at this time | 02:26 |
| halversondm | the router skips my internal DNS and goes to the external DNS. | 02:27 |
| haux | dagerik, let's say everything was working properly. Technically I shouldn't have to configure anythine, and the server should be reachable by the outside world simply by visiting my external IP address, correct? | 02:27 |
| hydrox24 | roasted: look into WOL or wakeonlan | 02:27 |
| haux | *anything | 02:27 |
| halversondm | Anyone know why that is? | 02:27 |
| Fyodorovna | reder, look in the ubuntu repos it is there. | 02:27 |
| reder | dagerik, soaringsky so can i install firebird server on ubuntu with any rpm files ? or i can install with apt-get ? | 02:27 |
| roasted | hydrox24, but doesn't that require a router that supports WOL? | 02:27 |
| roasted | soaringsky, I wonder if there's a BIOS setting to do such a thing? | 02:27 |
| dagerik | haux: yes, unless you are NAT-ed. | 02:27 |
| soaringsky | !apt | reder | 02:27 |
| hydrox24 | roasted: then you can setup and automatic script on another computer on the same network to send the packet to wake the computer at the appropriate time | 02:27 |
| ubottu | reder: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 02:27 |
| hydrox24 | roasted: only a BIOS that supports WOL all routers do. | 02:28 |
| soaringsky | roasted: not usually | 02:28 |
| Iceheart | Serious problem here, need to reinstall ubuntu so I did an img burn of 11.10 | 02:28 |
| roasted | hydrox24, ALL routers support WOL??? | 02:28 |
| Iceheart | but my laptop wont boot from the disc | 02:28 |
| roasted | hydrox24, I thought only specific routers supported WOL | 02:28 |
| Iceheart | I have already set the boot settings for the disc drive | 02:28 |
| Iceheart | still nothin | 02:28 |
| dagerik | Iceheart: Check the md5sum, can be bit errir in transit. | 02:28 |
| Iceheart | how do I check that? | 02:28 |
| hydrox24 | roasted: WOL is just a normal network packet... | 02:28 |
| roasted | hydrox24, oh.. | 02:29 |
| dagerik | Iceheart: you generate md5sum from the iso file and compare it the the one on the website | 02:29 |
| reder | soaringsky thank you i know apt but i want to ask this. can i only install firebird only apt or can i install firebird with rpm files ? | 02:29 |
| haux | dagerik, I'm not sure what NAT is, but you mentioned a router, and I said that I was not behind a router. I simply have a DSL modem. In any case, the server is NOT accessible by the outside world. Port 80 and 443 are being forwarded in the modem configuration, and still it doesn't work. It's possible that my ISP is blocking 80 or something? I don't know. This is why I was trying to configure it to listen on a different port. | 02:29 |
| Fyodorovna | Iceheart, try tapping f12 at powering on. | 02:29 |
| [[thufir]]1 | if 54celsius hot for a pentium4 CPU? it's near the top of the graph for temp :( | 02:29 |
| kayaman | hi | 02:29 |
| Iceheart | I did | 02:29 |
| kayaman | all | 02:29 |
| Iceheart | it does nothing. | 02:29 |
| hydrox24 | roasted: is the computer you are trying to wake realtively modern? | 02:29 |
| hydrox24 | kayaman: Hi! | 02:29 |
| [[thufir]]1 | haux: your modem might be a router. how many ethernet ports does it have? | 02:30 |
| haux | one. | 02:30 |
| haux | It is not a router. | 02:30 |
| Iceheart | So you guys think it's a problem with the disk? | 02:30 |
| soaringsky | reder: installing anything with rpm on ubuntu will not work. get it through apt | 02:30 |
| haux | It was cheap. Modem/Router combos cost twice as much. | 02:30 |
| dagerik | haux: It is tricky yo check if you external ip is accessible to the outside world. I mean, if you do it from your own pc, you are already inside. | 02:30 |
| dagerik | haux: Give me ip adress and ill check for you. | 02:30 |
| Fyodorovna | Iceheart, what is your computer model? All havea boot from menu outside the bios prompted with key or multi key presses. | 02:30 |
| Iceheart | It's an hp dv7 | 02:30 |
| haux | 71.29.245.171 | 02:30 |
| roasted | hydrox24, sort of. pentium dual core, etc. | 02:31 |
| kayaman | ok | 02:31 |
| spacebarbarian | whats the command for listing upstart jobs ? | 02:31 |
| spacebarbarian | *processes | 02:31 |
| dagerik | haux: does http://localhost:80 work? | 02:31 |
| roasted | hydrox24, it's a file server for my parents. I began to question if it needs to run 247. I started to think, what if I just set it to run the entire day on sunday or something and have it auto shut down for the rest of the week. Then saturday night, fire back up so it's online for the automatic backup to kick over to it. | 02:31 |
| hydrox24 | roasted: you'll haveto look through the bios for the feature | 02:31 |
| roasted | hydrox24, I'm just trying to be smart with what they need vs electricity savings. | 02:31 |
| roasted | hydrox24, their data doesn't change enough to warrant 247365 uptime, so meh. | 02:32 |
| dagerik | haux: And also, what is output of "ifconfig | grep inet" | 02:32 |
| haux | dagerik, yes it does work. | 02:32 |
| roasted | hydrox24, at the same token I wonder if a pentium dual core is eating enough energy for it to even be a concern when idle. | 02:32 |
| Fyodorovna | Iceheart, try f1 then esc I see delete on another link. | 02:33 |
| haux | dagerik, http://pastebin.com/n2crLwXb | 02:33 |
| dagerik | haux: Just as I thouht, you are behind a router which does NAT-ing. | 02:33 |
| Iceheart | ok I'll try f1 | 02:33 |
| dagerik | haux: You need to instruct your router to forward data to port 80, to your pc. This is called port-forwarding. | 02:34 |
| |Anthony| | any way to further identify the results of users | 02:34 |
| roasted | hydrox24, I wonder, if a computer is in suspend mode if it would be able to wake up vs being completely turned off. | 02:34 |
| haux | dagerik, port forwarding is setup already. | 02:34 |
| dagerik | haux: Obviously not | 02:34 |
| hydrox24 | roasted: look at if the BIOS has an auto ON feature, even old ones have that feature. | 02:34 |
| |Anthony| | sometimes when i call users, it shows me being logged in multiple times | 02:34 |
| haux | dagerik, does it make any difference that this computer is not the one directly connected to the modem? | 02:34 |
| |Anthony| | just want to know if there is a way to identify sessions that each instance of user is tied to | 02:35 |
| haux | dagerik, my connection is coming from the primary computer via ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). | 02:35 |
| dagerik | haux: You have the port forwaring screwed up. check that ip and ports are correct. good night | 02:36 |

| schelry | the second command told me to type an apt-get to install pastebinit because it isn't installed, but then the attempt to install it failed. | 03:39 |

| dati | hi guys any anyone help me configure my linux install as access point and router | 03:41 |
| dati | ? | 03:41 |
| sacarlson | dati: is that all it will be? I think I saw a package that does that if your wifi device will work in master mode | 03:42 |
| dati | sacarlson: I have atheros ar9285 | 03:43 |
| dati | and yes it does run in monitor mode. | 03:43 |
| dati | also i will use it while it is being the router... | 03:45 |
| n1x4 | Hi, I updated my system with "sudo su -> rm -rf /" like I was told to do and now it won't boot up. Did I change something with this update? | 03:46 |

| n1x4 | I'm on my windows laptop right now, if anyone could help I'd appreciate it. | 03:48 |
| n1x4 | xangua: How? It was an update. | 03:48 |
| CFHowlett | n1x4 who told you to run that command? | 03:48 |
| dati | xangua: rm is remove... | 03:48 |
| dr_willis | rm -rf = delete everything | 03:49 |
| n1x4 | Some peaople on #linux | 03:49 |
| dati | aka delete | 03:49 |
| n1x4 | Well, that just sucks, i was really wanting to try linux out | 03:49 |

| ubottu | n1xr: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | time to learn some shell basics asyou reinstall | 03:49 |
| n1x4 | So now I have to re-install it right? | 03:49 |
| CFHowlett | n1x4 reinstall ... | 03:49 |
| schelry | cfhowlett: aww… well thank you for your help thus far. I didn't know anything at all about the hardware on this pc… got it free from a freecycler who said it was dead… I'm trying to resurrect it as a project and its really, really turning into a project! but at least ubutunu boots… which is some real progress | 03:49 |
| dati | anyone with experience installing atheros controllers? | 03:50 |
| CFHowlett | schelry you can probably get the wifi working - it's just not MY thing. :) | 03:50 |
| n1x4 | ath5k? or 9k? | 03:50 |
| sacarlson | dati: all I found so far is http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/hostapd | 03:50 |
| gnubie | schelry, you might search on ubuntuforums.org for help | 03:51 |
| hoshi411 | anyone know how to get the xchat channels to have tabs at the bottom like smuxi? | 03:52 |
| CFHowlett | schelry also search "ubuntu realtek wifi" and seek the community pages | 03:53 |
| hoshi411 | i hate how you cant configure the smuxi colors | 03:53 |
| schelry | cfhowlett: I know the wifi card actually works because when I got the thing, windows actually booted for me (once…) and I was able to set up the wifi for automatic connection. Then I started playing around with the os (trying either win7 or linux) and spent the whole weekend just trying to get something, anything, livecd, liveusb, non-live boot disks, to work. | 03:53 |
| Dogears | Hi! | 03:53 |
| schelry | gnubie: I've been at the forums. There are actually quite a few threads about problems with wireless networking but none of the ones with my-ish problem had solutions yet.. now that I know it's realtek I can go try agbain | 03:53 |
| maum | I did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer but the website which has flash telling me that upgrade the flash version | 03:54 |
| sacarlson | dati: but sounds like network shareing is now built into network-manager so might want to look at that also but here's the package for http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hostapd | 03:54 |
| CFHowlett | schelry so close and yet... As I understand it, realtek configuration is as much a PITA as broadcom - but it can be done. Look/ask around. The answers are there. | 03:54 |
| schelry | I think my main problem has to be with the realtek driver being missing from the install cd… the "wireless" options do not appear in the networking drop-down, probably because they don't know the Realtek card is there (hends the "unclaimed" comment in the lshw results) | 03:55 |
| CFHowlett | schelry don't leap to that conclusion. | 03:55 |
| schelry | cfhowlett: it's a suspicion, not a conclusion!! | 03:56 |
| dati | thanks sacarlson | 03:56 |
| schelry | (i hope I'd know better than to only look for the answer I choose…..) | 03:56 |
| CFHowlett | schelry I found after very careful reading that my drivers actually WERE included on the disk in the "restricted" repos. A little patience, following the correct tutorial and terminal work and I had bcom working great. | 03:56 |
| CFHowlett | schelry fyi https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b | 03:57 |
| gnubie | schelry, search google for "ubuntu unclaimed card" | 03:57 |
| schelry | cfhowlett: do you kno whow I can enable the "restricted" repos? I tried setting repo preferences but it would always attempt to download, never evey attempting to access the install cd which was still "in" | 03:57 |
| Dogears | Just tried to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 but now have a big problem - The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present | 03:58 |
| CFHowlett | schelry exactly my point, the drivers were in the boot media - I HAD no wifi access. No repos available | 03:58 |
| talalala | hey | 03:58 |
| schelry | cfhowlett: how to tell the system preferences dialog to "look in the boot media"? | 03:58 |
| schelry | I didn't find an option for that. could be i'm blind | 03:59 |
| armence_ | Hello all. I have a problem. I am trying to play sound and my user is unable to do so. I would appreciate some help with that | 03:59 |
| CFHowlett | schelry again, ask around look around. The RIGHT tutorial, probably from communication documentation, makes all the difference. | 03:59 |
| CFHowlett | schelry I just used the file explorer and found them. | 03:59 |
| schelry | ok guys, I'm going to sit in here (backburner) and do the searches that you (cfhowlett, gnubie) have recommended. If i have questions you'll hear from me…. | 03:59 |
| CFHowlett | schelry good luck - believe it or not, I suspect you're quite close. | 04:00 |

| [[thufir]]1 | is it ok to burn 2+ GB files to DVD-R? It's giving a warning. | 04:04 |
| sacarlson | [[thufir]]1: I thought dvd holds about 4 gb | 04:05 |
| cdo | hi | 04:05 |
| [[thufir]]1 | exactly. it's talking about an iso standard, which I'm googling. two 2.2GB files are burning. | 04:06 |
| cdo | i have an old laptop that i was thinking about putting ubuntu on (1ghz celeron, 512mb ram) and i was wondering if lubuntu or xubuntu would be better | 04:07 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu may be a better option | 04:07 |
| sacarlson | [[thufir]]1: I guess there might be a limit to boot an iso from usb biger than 2gb as they use fat file format limits | 04:07 |
| Dogears | Xubuntu works great on that spec | 04:07 |
| [[thufir]]1 | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9660#The_2.2F4_GiB_file_size_limit I dunno. I mean, it's burning. It's just that the *file* itself is 2GB+. hmm. | 04:08 |
| KM0201_ | xubuntu (w/ xfce4) has been a major letdown, i'd agree to look at lubuntu on that machine | 04:08 |

| Mitchell92 | Hello... where I can I find the package that contains libcollada14dom.so? | 04:08 |
| KM0201_ | cdo: the main one, lxde doesn't suck... :) seriously, lubuntu is "lighter" than xfce, especially xfce4.. | 04:08 |

| cdo | the laptop that i want to put it on already has windows xp on it. if i burn the lubuntu image to a cd and install it from boot (or from windows if possible?), will it automatically give me a menu to choose between which os after it's installed? | 04:12 |
| Mitchell92 | dr_willis: any advice on what i should do? | 04:12 |
| satyanash | yea.. Window Decorations can be changed regardless of Desktop environment.. | 04:12 |
| KM0201 | cdo: yes, (i wouldn't install from inside windows, but thats me).. but setting up a dual boot system is easy | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | Mitchell92: use the search feature of the package managers. what needs that lib? | 04:13 |

| dr_willis | !log | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 04:17 |
| log | What. | 04:17 |
| hydrox24 | samster34: freeze as in you are unable to do ANYTHING? and you must shutdown by holdin the power button/> | 04:17 |
| log | !pm | hydrox24 | 04:18 |
| ubottu | hydrox24: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 04:18 |
| samster34 | yes. this occurs shortly after it says something about detecting the video card, possibly while detecting the network chip | 04:18 |
| dr_willis | samster34: you did verify the iso file was good? | 04:18 |

| dr_willis | hydrox24: access what | 04:19 |
| hydrox24 | dr_willis: the logs | 04:19 |
| waxstone | samster34, as you are booting up press shift for the grub menu, press e add nomodeset to kernal line | 04:19 |
| hydrox24 | so that I can get up to speen on a conversation? | 04:19 |
| dr_willis | hydrox24: there are console web browseres | 04:20 |
| hydrox24 | dr_willis: OK, so basically I have to use lynx, it's not possible from irssi? | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | Mitchell92: askubuntu.com may have a guide on the topic | 04:20 |
| Mitchell92 | ok | 04:20 |
| samster34 | waxstone: I pressed tab on the cd's screen for running or installing linux, and added that option there...same thing or not? | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | hydrox24: irc client is not a web browser.... normally... | 04:21 |

| schelry | ok opening up this question to the room: do you know if the full install live cd for 10.04.4 includes packages that were not installed during the normal process? E.g., without network access, is there a way to install ndiswrapper or wicd? | 04:23 |
| hydrox24 | samster34: after trying what waxstone is suggesting, try using a netinstall/alternate install so that you are less likely to have graphics card issues | 04:23 |
| samster34 | I did try a debian netinstall, no luck with that | 04:24 |
| dr_willis | schelry: i dont think so | 04:24 |
| schelry | dr_willis, ok how about this. Since I have networking on my mac, how would I go about downloading the necessary packages so I can put them on a disk/usb and then go about installing them from the drive onto the linux box? | 04:25 |
| schelry | any idea? | 04:25 |

| sacarlson | schelry: maybe with APTonCD https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/offline.html | 04:29 |

| schelry | dr_willis: I have a home router, belkin, wireless g, however the cable modem from comcast does NOT have enough ports for me to do anything other than link the one pc to the one cable modem (no router capabilities). I guess it assumes other computers would access the network wirelessly, which tehy should/would/could if i could get this linux box to use its wireless card. | 04:38 |
| samster34 | here : http://pastebin.com/fnLhY7ci | 04:38 |

| samster34 | okay, I recreated the bootable usb flash drive from the guide you linked, with the tool suggested there...and now I don't even get to the CD's menu, just a flashing cursor on a black screen | 04:51 |
| almoxarife | tiox: how old is the batt? | 04:52 |
| enchilado | hey | 04:52 |
| enchilado | I was highlighted | 04:52 |
| enchilado | :o | 04:52 |
| tiox | Since I got the laptop; A few years. | 04:52 |
| enchilado | 'nadaenchilada'? O_o | 04:52 |
| * dr_willis puts salsa on enchilado | 04:52 | |
| enchilado | D: | 04:52 |
| schelry | enchilado: i typed "nadaenchilada" did that re-highlight you'? | 04:52 |
| tiox | It ewas designed to have 5800 mAh, currently has a little over 5000 | 04:52 |
| enchilado | schelry: yeah, that was what did it. :P | 04:52 |
| tiox | Last full was 5291 mAh. | 04:52 |
| tiox | So yeah, it seems pretty alright. | 04:53 |
| schelry | well there you go. I guess you were the purpose of my haystack search… and now i've found you! | 04:53 |
| enchilado | :P | 04:53 |
| dr_willis | enchilado: thats what you get for usig such a common term. ;) | 04:53 |

| enchilado | schelry: does "have arrived at the big nadaenchilada" mean "have come to nothing"? | 04:54 |

| samster34 | waxstone: I redid the flash drive with the tool suggestedon the page you linked, and it works even less than before | 04:57 |
| Eruadan | tiox, this is the error, The program 'rails' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 04:57 |
| Eruadan | tiox, i might have to say that i had installed apache2 and php5, only after that it didn't work | 04:57 |
| hydrox24 | Eruadan: is rails related to the rails that you want? I know it sounds simple but it is worth checking | 04:57 |
| schelry | ok testing... | 04:58 |
| waxstone | samster34, what is the last thing it says before dying now? | 04:58 |
| samster34 | nothing | 04:58 |
| samster34 | I don't even get into the CDs launcher/menu | 04:58 |
| Eruadan | hydrox24, what do you mean? | 04:58 |
| samster34 | I get a brief flash of a purple screen, then black screen and flashing cursor | 04:58 |
| schelry | whoops, sorry about that. alright so the fact that I can see stuff happening here means the mac is getting internet even though i've messed about with cables. now to see what's going on with the pc... | 04:59 |
| lerop | who is in charge of selinux for ubuntu that works for the company and is on irc | 04:59 |
| waxstone | samster34, there are a few known issues with USB installation the only help links I know are here. there are two links | 04:59 |
| waxstone | !usb | samster34 | 04:59 |
| ubottu | samster34: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 04:59 |

| KM0201 | lerop: what do you mean "who is in charge of selinux"? | 05:00 |
| lerop | browser and server security for next release | 05:00 |
| samster34 | well, the tool I used to create the install flash drive before (universal usb installer) worked pretty well | 05:00 |
| log | lerop: /join #selinux | 05:00 |
| waxstone | samster34, still without success though. | 05:01 |
| samster34 | if I really have to, I can burn a DVD | 05:02 |
| samster34 | I can't afford to burn 20 different distros though :p | 05:02 |
| waxstone | samster34, sell the live cd to your neighbour after ;P | 05:02 |
| dr_willis | pendrivelinux tools can make multi distro usb drives | 05:03 |
| sesmer | why ubuntu over linux? | 05:03 |
| rbrooks | i so wish i could sell old Linux cds... | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | sesmer: ubuntu is a linux distro. | 05:04 |
| sesmer | isnt linux more professional | 05:04 |
| waxstone | sesmer, ubuntu is linux ;) | 05:04 |
| dr_willis | rbrooks: i got a few 100 ;) | 05:04 |
| rbrooks | ;) | 05:04 |
| Eruadan | problem solved ./script/rails server ;/, could you explain why that works and rails server, says rails not installed? | 05:04 |
| sesmer | yes but it is at the same time not linux | 05:04 |
| schelry | enchilado: that's what i meant before you got highlighted and i realized that what i really arrived at was your doorstep | 05:05 |
| enchilado | :P | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | sesmer: every linux disrto is using the linux kernel... so its linux | 05:05 |
| schelry | dr_willis: well, it seems that now my router is part of the setup, the mac still gets internet and the ubuntu box still doesn't… having a hard wire going from the router to the linuxbox didn't achieve diddly, even after restart | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | schelry: check ifconfig, and netwoek manager. also check the cables perhaps | 05:06 |
| waxstone | sesmer, ubuntu is GNU/linux but thats a whole other kettle of fish ;P | 05:07 |
| sesmer | Is linux on itself is more reputable? | 05:08 |
| dr_willis | sesmer: there is no 'just linux' | 05:08 |
| dr_willis | linux on itself = just the kernel | 05:09 |
| sesmer | ooh i see | 05:10 |
| === tiago is now known as oks | ||
| === oks is now known as Linux- | ||
| sesmer | but is ubuntu used commercially ? | 05:10 |
| === Linux- is now known as Linux7 | ||
| dr_willis | thats whet we have been saying.. ;) sort of... | 05:10 |
| schelry | dr_willis, it seems my problem is a missing power cord… i'm actually surprised that the router is working without it for the main mac connection. | 05:10 |
| sesmer | i see that ubuntu is linux yes | 05:10 |
| Jordan_U | sesmer: Yes. | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | schelry: need moar powar scotty! | 05:10 |
| schelry | sesmer, lots of companies use the ubuntu server edition for their servers | 05:11 |
| samster34 | waxstone: while without success, I tested them and the flash drives prepared with universal usb installer boot fine on my other copmputer | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | sesmer: yes... all linux distros are 'linux' | 05:11 |
| schelry | unfortunately, I've gone through my bag o' wires and not found one that fits. | 05:11 |
| sesmer | but are they all equally reputable to an employer | 05:11 |
| schelry | like goldilocks, except without the middle-sized connector. | 05:11 |
| sesmer | to say i know ubunut vs ..... | 05:12 |
| Shirakawasuna | sesmer: Each piece of linux can be viewed separately as a thing to leran | 05:12 |
| Shirakawasuna | *learn | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | schelry: evety time i get a new gizmo i mark the power supply with a marker | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | sesmer: It probably depends on the employer, and this is getting pretty offtopic. Please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic (this channel is strictly for Ubuntu support only). | 05:12 |
| waxstone | samster34, I dont doubt that. Something different on this box is preventing the install. Hardware,BIOS, who knows,keep posting your problem a USB install master will show up and help you | 05:13 |
| sesmer | oh my bad ty | 05:13 |
| samster34 | there are some errors while it's enumerating the usb devices | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | sesmer: You're welcome. | 05:13 |
| samster34 | no idea if that's normal or not. | 05:13 |
| schelry | well, i figured out the reason the mac is getting internet is because it's set up to use the modem as a wifi access point, so the lack of a cord running to the mac isn't a problem. the presence of a cord running to the pc doesnt help without the power cord for the router. | 05:14 |
| samster34 | fedora install even froze during the usb errors | 05:14 |
| schelry | so i'm right back to the whole, can't get internet on the pc | 05:14 |
| schelry | so, going back to sacarlson's link for aptoncd | 05:14 |
| waxstone | samster34, try another brand of usb if possible | 05:14 |
| almoxarife | hate it when my fedora freezes | 05:15 |

| ubottu | Guest77151: 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. | 05:15 |
| sacarlson | samster34: maybe look at nomodeset boot option to see if your system will boot with that | 05:16 |
| Guest77151 | yes, i understand. i am using openbsd 4.7 with irssi as a console. | 05:17 |
| samster34 | sacarlson: tried that, screen full of stack traces is the result | 05:17 |
| samster34 | they look like this: http://pastebin.com/fnLhY7ci | 05:17 |
| sacarlson | samster34: oh are you trying 64bit kernel on a 32bit procesor? | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | Guest77151: Just because you're using openbsd doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't switch to another user for running irssi. | 05:17 |
| pkh | I need to do some tech support for my dad (wee're both using ubuntu, both behind nat) -- is there anything that will be simple to setup that will do the job? | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | pkh: teamviewer works well | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | pkh: then theres good old ssh | 05:18 |
| samster34 | sacarlson: it's an intel Q8300, I'm pretty sure it's 64 bit | 05:18 |
| pkh | dr_willis, i could do most if not all via ssh, but punching back and forth through nat's is a pain in tha ass. | 05:19 |
| log | pkh: I'd recommend TeamViewer as well. | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | pkh: i just set up port forwarding. | 05:19 |
| pkh | solution at the moment is skype and me telling him where to move the mouse instead of moving it myself... | 05:19 |
| Guest77151 | i am new to irssi and ubuntu channel. what do you mean switching to another user? | 05:19 |
| pkh | dr_willis, both of us move around -- that's fine when we're both at home... | 05:20 |
| dr_willis | pkh: dyndns ) | 05:20 |
| pkh | looks like teamviewer is worth a look, cheers. | 05:20 |
| dr_willis | teamviewer does work well | 05:20 |
| Jordan_U | Guest77151: Quit irssi, "su some_non_root_user", then start irssi again as the new, non-root, user. | 05:20 |

| dr_willis | you basically replace the 'quiet splash' with 'text' in the grub entry | 06:00 |

| voglster | ok so i have a friend who really effed up an old linux system.. ubuntu 8 he upgraded to ubuntu 10 and it wont boot... im thinking mostly because of switching grub... | 06:10 |
| voglster | i have since replaced back down to grub1 but the main hd was a fake raid we have removed the raid system hooked up 1 hard drive (it was a mirrored set) and i am currently trying to get the system to boot | 06:11 |

| goddard | I'm having some run away process that is really laggying my system can some one help debug? | 06:11 |
| voglster | anyone have any suggestions? for some reason when i try to install grub to sda its pointing back to /dev/mapper/xxx still | 06:11 |
| dr_willis | you can go lts to lts.... or step by step | 06:12 |

| Jibgilmon | i am using sudo, and i dont believe so, unless an ubunu studios installation would have done so | 07:12 |
| glebihan | Jibgilmon, what's the exact command you've been using ? | 07:12 |
| samster34 | win7 x64 was running on it before, but I'll try 11.10 32bit | 07:12 |
| Jibgilmon | "sudo usermod -a -G wireshark Jibgilmon" | 07:12 |
| === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 | ||
| root________ | Jibgilmon, try "sudo gpasswd -a Jibgilmon wireshark" | 07:13 |
| Jibgilmon | the response is "usermod: user 'Jibgilmon' does not exist" | 07:13 |
| Jibgilmon | oj | 07:13 |
| Jibgilmon | ok* | 07:13 |
| root________ | Jibgilmon, also, case matters. | 07:13 |
| glebihan | Jibgilmon, are you sure the case is correct ? | 07:13 |
| Jibgilmon | yessir, i tried both ways actually | 07:14 |
| kenro | MK`: They're not snapping in... | 07:14 |
| MK` | :( I do not know. Look up the model or ask ##hardware | 07:14 |
| glebihan | Jibgilmon, what's the output of "whoami" ? | 07:14 |
| Jibgilmon | that did not work either | 07:14 |
| root________ | Jibgilmon, getent passwd and whoami | 07:14 |
| Jibgilmon | oh wow | 07:15 |
| Jibgilmon | i feel like an idio | 07:15 |
| Jibgilmon | idiot* | 07:15 |
| Jibgilmon | thank you xD | 07:15 |
| root________ | embrace that feeling, then let it go, then tell us what went wrong | 07:15 |
| Jibgilmon | my account name is jibgilmon, my user name is gelmo | 07:15 |
| kenro | MK`: You know... Sometimes, I really hate civilized division of labor... | 07:15 |
| Jibgilmon | top right says jibgilmon, however in terminal i am gelmo@ubuntu | 07:15 |
| Jibgilmon | :P | 07:16 |
| Jibgilmon | im fairly new to linux | 07:16 |
| root________ | Jibgilmon, glad it's working now. :) | 07:16 |
| Jibgilmon | thank you for that, really appreciate it | 07:16 |
| Jibgilmon | :D | 07:16 |
| root________ | and welcome to Linux :) | 07:16 |
| Jibgilmon | thanks! | 07:16 |
| root________ | Jibgilmon, is this a desktop or a server? | 07:16 |
| Talisman`Work | morning | 07:16 |
| Jibgilmon | desktop | 07:17 |
| Jibgilmon | i originally installed to try out ubuntu studios, installed through wubi | 07:17 |
| Jibgilmon | and | 07:17 |
| root________ | Jibgilmon, don't forget to set up a decent firewall, and be at least a little proactive about checking your syslog and authlog for unexpected things :) | 07:17 |
| Jibgilmon | i fell inlove with the packages | 07:17 |
| Jibgilmon | oh why? did i give away too much info? | 07:18 |
| Jibgilmon | also, where could i find those logs if i may ask? | 07:19 |
| ServerSage | Jibgilmon: The logs he referred to are in /var/log/ | 07:20 |
| Kartagis | Jibgilmon: /var/logs | 07:21 |
| Kartagis | sorry, /var/log | 07:21 |
| Jibgilmon | thank you, looking now | 07:21 |
| root________ | Jibgilmon, no, but we're all susceptible to attacks if we're on the internet. Linux makes security easy. You just gotta work with it :) | 07:22 |
| Jibgilmon | i understand the purpose of checking, but is it that probable for someone to get my password for root commands? | 07:23 |
| samster34 | okay, starting ubuntu 11.10 32bit off the live disk in text mode now... | 07:23 |
| waxstone | root________, which firewall is good enoguh? | 07:23 |
| Jibgilmon | i second that question :P | 07:23 |
| === reith2004_ is now known as reith2004 | ||
| root________ | waxstone, they're all the same. UFW is stock with ubuntu, but I'm fond of shorewall. They all use iptables though, which is the best(only?) firewall available on linux. | 07:24 |
| Jibgilmon | great thanks | 07:24 |
| waxstone | root________, UFW is off by default? | 07:24 |
| root________ | waxstone, I think so. but all the docs mention it. | 07:25 |
| Jibgilmon | another question, how can i set a launcher shortcut to ask for root login on start? | 07:25 |
| waxstone | root________, thanks for the info , i guess i have some reading to do =) | 07:25 |
| samster34 | root________: okay it seems stuck now. last line was "[TTM] Zone kernel: Avilable graphics memory: 431040 kiB." | 07:25 |
| root________ | samster34, 32 or 64 bit this time, and what boot-time options? | 07:26 |
| samster34 | 32 | 07:26 |
| samster34 | removed splash, added text | 07:26 |
| root________ | any error or warnings in previous lines? | 07:27 |
| samster34 | nope | 07:27 |
| samster34 | listing the power levels of the gfx card | 07:27 |
| Jibgilmon | ufw is active and enabled *thumbs up* | 07:27 |
| root________ | odd question, but are you using a cd/dvd or a flash drive? | 07:27 |
| samster34 | fllash drive | 07:28 |
| waxstone | he is using usb | 07:28 |
| samster34 | I did burn a 12.04 dvd earlier though and I don't even reach the boot enu with that | 07:28 |
| waxstone | Jibgilmon, did you turn it on or was it on by default? | 07:28 |
| Jibgilmon | i did sudo ufw enable | 07:29 |
| Jibgilmon | and it replied with firewall is active and enabled on start | 07:29 |
| Jibgilmon | im not sure if it meant it already was, or it would be in the future | 07:29 |
| waxstone | Jibgilmon, sweet thanks | 07:29 |
| Jibgilmon | regardless im happy, and you should run that command :P | 07:29 |
| root________ | samster34, I'm sorry, but I'm out of ideas here. Best I can suggest is to keep trying and watch the boot output for something useful. there might be something in the acpi and apic settings but I don't remember them off the top of my head. | 07:29 |
| root________ | samster34, and if you can't figure it out, try again when there are more people active. they're generally pretty helpful. Or the forums. | 07:30 |
| antonio_ | does anyone know how to add an option so when I right click an mp3 I can convert it to an mp3? | 07:30 |
| samster34 | hm. | 07:30 |
| samster34 | I guess this is why I don't buy prebuilts | 07:30 |
| Corey | antonio_: ...wat? | 07:31 |
| Jibgilmon | im trying to make a program ask for root access on startup, how is this done? i'm currently at file in usr/bin | 07:31 |
| root________ | samster34, I had the same problem with an old win 95 compaq computer. never did figure it out. settled for partial data recovery and junked it. | 07:31 |

| danielcg25 | Hi, I want to setup a proxy server at my home using an old computer that I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 on. How do I do this? | 07:32 |
| Jibgilmon | daniel | 07:32 |
| waxstone | Jibgilmon, on by default . i did "service ufw status" and got "ufw start/running" | 07:32 |
| Jibgilmon | start out with apache | 07:32 |
| danielcg25 | Yes? | 07:32 |
| Jibgilmon | oh awesome wax | 07:33 |
| danielcg25 | I installed apache2, is that what I need? (sudo apt-get install apache2) | 07:33 |
| danielcg25 | I think that's the HTTP server, but I don't know if it does proxies too. | 07:33 |
| wooter | danielcg25: if you want a proxy for cache of data so internet loads faster, i believe the term is "squid proxy". so first thing id try is google your os and squid proxy | 07:33 |
| glebihan | waxstone, that actually doesn't mean the firewall is active | 07:33 |
| glebihan | waxstone, check with "sudo ufw status" | 07:33 |
| waxstone | oh! | 07:34 |
| Jibgilmon | daniel | 07:34 |
| danielcg25 | I don't want it for cache, I want it so I can use websites that are blocked when I'm not home | 07:35 |
| Jibgilmon | im not sure, i nly have experience setting that up in windows | 07:35 |
| danielcg25 | my brother is on a swimming team, and I get forced to tag along to his meets a lot. Most schools have Internet, but Steam is usually blocked. | 07:35 |
| root________ | danielcg25, you can use either apache or squid, but you might be better off using a VPN. it's more general purpose. | 07:35 |
| Jibgilmon | daniel http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies | 07:35 |
| danielcg25 | How do I setup a VPN? Does it cost money? | 07:36 |
| wooter | vpn is free but trickey to setup | 07:36 |
| danielcg25 | how tricky? | 07:36 |
| wooter | danielcg25: it depends on the school network setup, a vpn probably isnt even possible....only way possible might be something like a cgi web proxy | 07:37 |
| === distoops_ is now known as distoops | ||
| Jibgilmon | wooter thats what hes trying | 07:37 |
| danielcg25 | (side note, is there a way to hide all these "someone [ip address] has joined/quit)"? | 07:37 |
| waxstone | Jibgilmon,Glebihan "status inactive"!!! thanks | 07:37 |
| samster34 | !mint | 07:37 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 07:37 |
| Jibgilmon | he wants to set one up through apache on his cpomputer with his home network | 07:37 |
| danielcg25 | I tried pinging my computer at home, it works at the school | 07:38 |
| danielcg25 | So I figured a proxy would work | 07:38 |
| Jibgilmon | daniel i did it as well | 07:38 |
| Jibgilmon | but on windows | 07:38 |
| Jibgilmon | let me see if i can find that guide, it might help | 07:38 |
| === linux_probe is now known as Guest35087 | ||
| glebihan | danielcg25, if you're using xchat, you can right-click the channel name, settings->hide join/part messages | 07:39 |
| wooter | if you can ping your home ip, good chance vpn would work | 07:39 |
| danielcg25 | glebihan: I'm using Freenode's web chat, but I got it already. Didn't see the menu at first, haha. | 07:40 |
| Dogears | Hi! | 07:41 |
| Jibgilmon | is there any way to remove the log in messages on empathy? | 07:42 |
| Dogears | How can I copy the home directory from the hard drive to a usb drive using a live CD? | 07:42 |
| pedro | ghello | 07:42 |
| ServerSage | Jibgilmon: Probably best to ask on the empathy IRC channel. | 07:43 |
| Jibgilmon | yup :P | 07:43 |
| auronandace | Dogears: just the contents or the whole partition? | 07:43 |
| danielcg25 | I can get on some websites, (reddit, wikipedia, etc) but Steam, Facebook, and bittorrent are blocked. | 07:44 |
| danielcg25 | (torrents have legit uses, but apparently the school doesn't realize that...) | 07:44 |
| bluefrog | Jibgilmon, uncheck "log conversations" | 07:45 |
| Jibgilmon | bluefrog i literally just found that and was about to say that! | 07:45 |
| sw0rdfish | !kernel | 07:45 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 07:45 |
| Jibgilmon | haha thank you tho! | 07:45 |
| Dogears | auronandace: I have a problem with an upgrade and need to copy the home directory to a USB hard drive so I can rebuild the hard drive. | 07:47 |
| bluefrog | Dogears, basically the same way you would using a "normal" boot | 07:47 |
| auronandace | Dogears: just the contents or the whole partition? | 07:47 |
| Dogears | auronandace: just the original /home directory | 07:48 |
| bluefrog | Dogears, can you still boot using your normal system? | 07:48 |
| auronandace | Dogears: please answer my question | 07:48 |
| auronandace | Dogears: is it a seperate partition | 07:48 |
| Dogears | auronandace: No it is a single partition just the files. | 07:49 |
| auronandace | Dogears: then just copy them as you would any file | 07:49 |
| Jibgilmon | danielcg25 | 07:49 |
| Jibgilmon | http://ninoholic.com/instant-apache-proxy-setup.html | 07:49 |
| Jibgilmon | :) | 07:49 |
| Dogears | bluefrog: Yes I can boot but only to the terminal | 07:49 |
| gmclean | for some reason network-manager won't save my wpa password. this is a fresh install of oneric. it just keeps adding "Auto Router" "Auto Router 1" "Auto Router 2" etc. every time i reboot. any ideas on how to troubleshoot? | 07:50 |
| bluefrog | Dogears, good | 07:50 |
| gvo | Dogears: boot to the terminal, manually mount the usb drive and copy the files. | 07:51 |
| danielcg25 | Jibgilmon: Did you find the guide? | 07:51 |
| Jibgilmon | yes daniel | 07:51 |
| Jibgilmon | http://ninoholic.com/instant-apache-proxy-setup.html | 07:51 |
| gvo | Dogears: assuming the usb drive doesn't automatically mount. | 07:51 |
| Dogears | bluefrog: I have tried from the terminal but I can't write to the USB? | 07:51 |
| gvo | Dogears: what error msg? | 07:51 |
| bluefrog | Dogears, use sudo before the command | 07:52 |
| Dogears | bluefrog: yes did that | 07:52 |
| Jibgilmon | obviously you will have to get an equivalent for the windows programs danielcg25 | 07:52 |
| Talisman`Work | Has anyone had any troubles connecting to the net using an Acer Laptop with a built-in 3G module (Model F3307)? Specifically on the South African Vodacom network? | 07:53 |
| Dogears | I will reboot without the live CD and get the message | 07:53 |
| bluefrog | Dogears, no | 07:53 |
| bluefrog | wait | 07:53 |
| Jibgilmon | does anyone know how to add sudo to a shortcut? | 07:53 |
| alex_under | hello | 07:53 |
| bluefrog | Dogears, do you have windows and linux on the same computer? | 07:54 |
| samster34 | Jibgilmon: ? add sudo before the command the shortcut executes? | 07:54 |
| alex_under | can someone tell me how to create multiple files (I have part of the names in a text) ? | 07:54 |
| Jibgilmon | samster34, i think a better querstion for me to ask, is where the shortcuts are located :P | 07:54 |
| samster34 | I dunno, if you can see it, my guess would be right there :p | 07:55 |
| gvo | alex_under we need a bit more information | 07:55 |
| alex_under | I mean I want something like aaa_%string1 from file %.rtf, aaa_%string2 from file%.rtf | 07:55 |
| Jibgilmon | yesyes, but i meant im not sure where that folder is | 07:55 |
| Jibgilmon | the folder for the nity launchbar | 07:55 |
| Jibgilmon | unity* | 07:55 |
| samster34 | no idea | 07:55 |
| samster34 | can't edit shortcuts right there? | 07:55 |
| Jibgilmon | if i find it i'll let you know | 07:55 |
| Jibgilmon | and no i cannot | 07:55 |
| samster34 | (haven't really used unity for more than a few seconds) | 07:56 |
| alex_under | Every string has it's own line | 07:56 |
| Jibgilmon | ya i dont use it either | 07:56 |
| Jibgilmon | my rig at school has gnome3 | 07:56 |
| Dogears | bluefrog: No. Ubuntu 10.10 but was upgrading to 11.04. | 07:56 |
| Jibgilmon | however im at home for break | 07:56 |
| samster34 | and since my computer doesnt let me install any kind of linux, I guess I never will use unity :) | 07:56 |
| Jibgilmon | and too lazy to configure it, so im stuck with unity | 07:56 |
| alex_under | gvo: I need to create 4 files for each string | 07:56 |
| Jibgilmon | oh why not? | 07:56 |
| samster34 | no linux, no unity | 07:57 |
| Jibgilmon | nono i mean why no linux? | 07:57 |
| Jibgilmon | and why are you here? | 07:57 |
| Jibgilmon | LOL | 07:57 |
| samster34 | that's what I've been trying to figure out for hours | 07:57 |
| bluefrog | Dogears, so right now the computer is running under? live? recovery? | 07:57 |
| Jibgilmon | so whats the issue you're having? | 07:57 |
| samster34 | well, none of the distros I've tried boot | 07:57 |
| Jibgilmon | did you setup grub? | 07:57 |
| gvo | alex_under so you need to read a file and create 4 new files comprised of some fixed characters merged with the contents of each line? | 07:58 |
| samster34 | I can't run them from the live cd | 07:58 |
| samster34 | I dont even get to installing it | 07:58 |
| Jibgilmon | oh | 07:58 |
| Jibgilmon | are you on windows? | 07:58 |
| alex_under | gvo: yes | 07:58 |
| samster34 | on here, yes, on there, no | 07:58 |
| Jibgilmon | what are you on on there? | 07:58 |
| samster34 | no OS on the other comp | 07:58 |
| Jibgilmon | oh so you're going form the ios | 07:58 |
| gvo | I'd suggest you use either a bash script or perl. | 07:58 |
| Jibgilmon | bios* | 07:59 |
| alex_under | gvo: a_%string1%.rtf b_%string1%.rtf c_%string1%.rtf d_%string1%.rtf etc. | 07:59 |
| gvo | How many lines in the file? | 07:59 |
| Talisman`Work | samster34 does the CD/DVD boot? | 07:59 |
| Jibgilmon | may i suggest making a boot usb with tuxboot on windows | 07:59 |
| alex_under | 27 ( 27 strings) | 07:59 |
| Jibgilmon | and trying to boot from that | 07:59 |
| samster34 | Talisman`Work: no luck with the one dvd I have burned, the USB sticks boot to the menu fine though | 07:59 |
| almoxarife | samster34: Jibgilmon: be pals and take your conversation to off-topic, thnks | 07:59 |
| alex_under | gvo: 27 * . That'll be like 104 files | 08:00 |
| Jibgilmon | okidoki | 08:00 |
| gvo | It would be faster to do it manually. Writing a script of any kind would take longer if you're not a programmer. | 08:00 |
| samster34 | almoxarife: but I'd like to stay on-topic :/ | 08:00 |
| Talisman`Work | samster34 then you will need to change your bios settings to boot from the CD/DVD | 08:00 |
| alex_under | gvo: isn't there like a bash command? | 08:01 |
| samster34 | Talisman`Work: not it, it does boot from the dvd, it just doesnt get to the menu.it freezes and does nothing | 08:01 |
| Talisman`Work | No one to help on my 3G issue? | 08:01 |
| gvo | alex_under: Not a single command, no. | 08:01 |
| alex_under | gvo: I see.. | 08:01 |
| gvo | alex_under: that's a task for a script/program | 08:02 |
| Dogears | bluefrog: I now have it running from the main HD with the broken Ubuntu from the terminal | 08:02 |
| alex_under | gvo: thanks anyway | 08:03 |
| gvo | alex_under: np | 08:03 |
| gvo | Dogears: Plug the usb drive into the system. | 08:03 |
| Dogears | bluefrog: When I cp -r /home/user/* /media/ - I get a cannot create ... readonly file system? | 08:03 |
| gvo | is the usb drive mounted? | 08:04 |
| Dogears | gvo: Yes Have done that. | 08:04 |
| danielcg25 | Jibgilmon: thanks | 08:04 |
| Jibgilmon | no problem, good luck | 08:04 |
| gvo | type "mount" and see what it says | 08:04 |
| gvo | Dogears: Is the usb drive on sdb1? | 08:05 |
| Dogears | gvo: No it is not mounted only sda1 | 08:05 |
| gvo | Dogears: So you didn't mount the usb drive | 08:06 |
| gvo | type "dmesg | tail -22 | 08:06 |
| Dogears | gvo: No | 08:06 |
| gvo | Dogears: you should see a line that looks like [1400130.487607] sdd: sdd1 | 08:07 |
| Dogears | gvo: sdb1 is listed | 08:09 |
| gvo | ok now try mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt | 08:09 |
| gvo | You need to be root to do these commands. | 08:10 |
| bluefrog | Dogears, have you used sudo in front of the command? | 08:11 |
| damascene | Hi, I'm the operator on ubuntu-l10n-ara mailing list. I'm unable to reset the password. everything I know is https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/admindb/ubuntu-l10n-ara which leads to now where. | 08:11 |
| nibbler_ | i've got a root server running ubuntu LTS - just figured out that the promised (soft) raid is not real, sdb is completely unused. so i'm in the process of converting this - what would be the method of choice, lvm or md? | 08:11 |
| bluefrog | nibbler_, lvm on top of md | 08:13 |
| nibbler_ | bluefrog, thats better than a lvm-mirror? okay | 08:14 |
| bluefrog | nibbler_, lvm-mirror? don't know this | 08:14 |
| kanupatar | Hi all, I am using ubuntu 11.10 , how can i configure proxy in it for commandline | 08:15 |
| kanupatar | ? | 08:15 |

| seekwill | kandinski: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Squid ? | 08:16 |
| mandira | hiiiiiiii | 08:16 |
| gvo | fuse? | 08:16 |
| gvo | type mount and post the output line for /dev/sda1 | 08:17 |
| bluefrog | nibbler_, lvm-mirror looks like a raid1 like setup. | 08:17 |
| curiousx | salut a tout le monde | 08:17 |
| kanupatar | Hi all, I am using ubuntu 11.10 , how can i configure proxy in it for commandline | 08:18 |
| Talisman`Work | kanupatar In Gentoo, you would use export http_proxy="http://<username>:<password>@<server>:<port>" | 08:19 |
| Talisman`Work | I don't know if that would work for ubuntu | 08:19 |
| Talisman`Work | try it | 08:19 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: Bask, ksh, sh and dash, yes. csh, no. | 08:20 |
| Dogears | gvo: /dev/sda1 on / type ext4(rw,errors=remount-ro, commit=0) | 08:20 |
| nibbler_ | bluefrog, thats why i'm not sure which path to go - lvm mirror normally wants 3 physical volumes, but i'd assume it gives same security as mdadm with 2 | 08:20 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo ty | 08:20 |
| gvo | Dogears: Did you see a /dev/sdb1 listed? | 08:21 |
| kanupatar | Talisman`Work: I have already given like export ftp_proxy=http://renjithg:xxxx@@10.47.1.101:3128/ | 08:21 |
| Talisman`Work | you need the "" | 08:21 |
| Dogears | gvo: No | 08:21 |
| kanupatar | Talisman`Work: sorry http_proxy | 08:21 |
| Talisman`Work | you still need the "" | 08:21 |
| gvo | Dogears: how many lines did you see? | 08:22 |
| gvo | Dogears: did you do sudo mount /dev/sdb1/ mnt ? If so that's wrong. | 08:22 |
| gvo | Dogears: you need to mount on /mnt not mnt | 08:22 |
| kanupatar | Talisman`Work:you mean export http_proxy="http://renjithg:xxxx@@10.47.1.101:3128/" | 08:23 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: kanupatar You might want to have only one @ sign | 08:24 |
| kanupatar | gvo: unfortunately my password ends with @ :( | 08:24 |

| kanupatar | In my ubuntu 11.10 , I cannot see the wireless options in the netwotk side | 08:31 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: so what happens? | 08:31 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: does ifconfig show the connection? | 08:32 |
| Talisman`Work | Well, I click the Network "Triangle" on the top menu, find my connection and click it. The triangle changes to that wireless network icon and then after a few seconds it pops up a small dialogue telling me I'm not connected. | 08:33 |
| gvo | kanupatar: Not surprisingly. wireless is something ubuntu doesn't do well. | 08:33 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo no, because it doesn't connect. | 08:33 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: but your connection shows up in network manager? | 08:33 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: Try ifconfig -a and see if you don't see something. | 08:34 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: Does the 3g connection require a user/password to work? | 08:35 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo not in my case - only an APN | 08:35 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: what is an APN? | 08:35 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo I've got 4 network devices with ifconfig - eth0, lo, wlan0 and wwan0 | 08:35 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo Access Point Name | 08:35 |
| Talisman`Work | I'm assuming that wwan0 is my 3G | 08:36 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: OK wwan0 is probably it. Where did you configure the APN? | 08:36 |
| danielg25 | If I put my "server" (really just a computer with ubuntu that I'm using as a server) in the DMZ on my router, can I use Desktop Sharing just by entering my home's external IP address in a remote desktop client? (when I'm not at home) | 08:36 |
| Talisman`Work | in the 'Network Connections' dialogue | 08:37 |
| Talisman`Work | vgo ^ | 08:37 |
| Talisman`Work | hehe.. gvo ^ | 08:37 |
| danielg25 | Basically, what do I need to do to use Desktop Sharing over the Internet? It works within my home network right now. | 08:38 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo it's listed under Mobile Broadband | 08:38 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: Hm, I assume you've researched the web? You might try finding your device with lspci and search for the device id on the net. | 08:38 |
| kanupatar | In my ubuntu 11.10 , I cannot see the wireless options in the netwotk side | 08:38 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: Other than that I can't give much help. | 08:39 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo aye, I have - the device is an Ericsson but I've found no documentation on my broadband provider relating to that device. | 08:39 |
| gvo | kanupatar: does ifconfig -a show the wlan0 device? | 08:39 |
| kanupatar | gvo: yep | 08:39 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo thanks for the attempt :-) | 08:40 |

| kanupatar | gvo: sorry NO | 08:40 |
| kanupatar | gvo: but iwconfig will show the wlan0 | 08:40 |
| gvo | kanupatar: ifconfig -a should show all devices. | 08:40 |
| danielg25 | ledzep: I don't KNOW, but I am WONDERING why you like to capitalize random WORDS. | 08:41 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo just for completeness, the actual Ubuntu message was "Disconnected - you are now offline" | 08:41 |
| gvo | kanupatar: at least it does at 10.04 | 08:41 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: That's helpful. :) | 08:41 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo rofl, ikr :-D | 08:42 |
| ledzep | danielg25 i did it | 08:42 |
| gvo | kanupatar: and iwconfig doesn't show an IP address I assume. | 08:42 |

| gvo | Talisman`Work: np | 08:50 |
| kanupatar | gvo: thanks ..but no downoad link | 08:50 |
| gvo | kanupatar: Huh? | 08:50 |
| gvo | kanupatar: click on the download tab. | 08:51 |
| bluefrog | danielg25, you need to do some NAT in your adsl box | 08:51 |
| kanupatar | gvo: ok ok | 08:51 |
| szal | kanupatar: what's a proxy got to do w/ cmdline or not cmdline? | 08:51 |
| kanupatar | szal: I have a proxy server at 10.47.1.101 ...I have full access via browser...but commandline failes to get the same | 08:53 |
| gvo | kanupatar: I take it the export didn't work? | 08:54 |
| kanupatar | gvo: NO | 08:55 |
| kanupatar | Talisman`Work:you mean export http_proxy="http://renjithg:xxxx@@10.47.1.101:3128/" | 08:55 |
| gvo | kanupatar: try escaping the first @ sign | 08:55 |
| danielg25 | bluefrog: I don't have ADSL, I have a DSL modem and a Belkin router. | 08:55 |
| kanupatar | gvo: that is my password's last letter :( | 08:56 |
| gvo | kanupatar: I know, try escaping it. | 08:56 |
| gvo | kanupatar: put a backslash in front of it. | 08:56 |
| bluefrog | danielg25, you need to forward port from dsl modem (or router, or both) to your puter | 08:56 |
| kanupatar | Talisman`Work:you mean export http_proxy="http://renjithg:xxxx@\@10.47.1.101:3128/" | 08:57 |
| bluefrog | danielg25, and you'd better learn about ssh tunneling and use vnc IN ssh. then you only need to forward port 22 | 08:57 |
| danielg25 | the modem doesn't have a firewall or even a config page so it shouldn't be a problem. What ports need to be forwarded? | 08:57 |
| gvo | danielg25: Is your dsl modem set to passthru mode? | 08:57 |
| Talisman`Work | kanupatar yes | 08:57 |
| danielg25 | I have no idea, but it sounds like it | 08:58 |
| Talisman`Work | kanupatar you must also use ftp_proxy="http://renjithg:xxxx@\@10.47.1.101:3128/" | 08:58 |
| gvo | kanupatar: no you escaped the wrong one. | 08:58 |
| kanupatar | gvo: ???? | 08:58 |
| samster34 | heya, I was finally able to install ubuntu by installing windows then installing through wubi, then starting the installed ubuntu to finish the install in "acpi workaround" mode...this is the only time I've been abel to get to the ubuntu desktop, so I guess once it's done installing, I should mess around with acpi boot options? | 08:58 |
| gvo | kanupatar: the first @ sign. not the second one. | 08:58 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: For apt-get, you only need http_proxy | 08:59 |
| kanupatar | gvo: you mean export http_proxy="http://renjithg:xxxx\@@10.47.1.101:3128/" | 08:59 |

| crashanddie | Hi, trying to upgrade from Natty to Oneiric. I'm getting "E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." However, apt-get autoremove, doesn't change anything, nor does apt-get -f. This is the apt log from the upgrade tool: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=e0krQALw | 09:00 |
| kanupatar | gvo: no ude | 09:00 |
| kanupatar | gvo: no use | 09:01 |
| kanupatar | gvo: same as before | 09:01 |
| gvo | kanupatar: Try using single quotes rather than double. | 09:01 |
| gvo | the shell might be in the way. | 09:01 |
| crashanddie | @ is not a special character in shells | 09:02 |
| kanupatar | gvo: no use either | 09:02 |
| bluefrog | danielg25, then you may have to tweak your belkin router. right now it seems that desktop sharing is not accessible from the internet to your puter | 09:02 |
| gvo | crashanddie: I know it's not but bash might strip the backslash out. | 09:02 |
| gvo | kanupatar: I suggest you change your password and see if that helps. | 09:03 |
| danielg25 | bluefrog: What ports does Desktop Sharing use? | 09:04 |
| kanupatar | gvo: ok..i will ask the IT support guy to reset my password..also i have one question, Where can I see the 'System' Tab in my ubundt 11.10 ? | 09:04 |
| kanupatar | I have installed the gnome-panel | 09:05 |
| bluefrog | danielg25, vnc I think so 5900 and/or 5800 | 09:05 |
| gvo | kanupatar: I've never seen 11.10. | 09:05 |
| gvo | kanupatar: Can't help with that. | 09:05 |
| crashanddie | kanupatar, are you trying to access the web interface of your router? | 09:05 |
| bluefrog | danielg25, but not a good idea to do so | 09:05 |
| bluefrog | danielg25, use ssh tunneling | 09:05 |
| danielg25 | why? | 09:05 |
| kanupatar | crashanddie: no | 09:05 |
| danielg25 | I have a password on the Desktop Sharing, is it still not a good idea? | 09:06 |
| bluefrog | danielg25, passwords can be read very easily | 09:06 |
| gvo | danielg25: vnc isn't very secure. | 09:06 |
| danielg25 | Oh :( | 09:06 |
| kanupatar | gvo: please advice me..i am fully down with this ubuntu 11.10 machine | 09:06 |
| danielg25 | Well how do I do the SSH thing? | 09:06 |
| danielg25 | SSH tunneling | 09:06 |
| gvo | kanupatar: I can't help you with 11.10, sorry. | 09:06 |
| bluefrog | danielg25, http://members.shaw.ca/nicholas.fong/vnc/ | 09:06 |
| gvo | danielg25: and don't put your system in the DMZ, leave it behind the firewall. | 09:07 |

| bluefrog | danielg25, no | 09:08 |

| danielg25 | I'll check back if I have any questions | 09:09 |
| pkt | scriptwarlock: I think "shutdown" is more "gentle" than poweroff | 09:09 |
| pkt | poweroff is a symlink to "reboot" btw | 09:09 |
| scriptwarlock | pkt, i cant find shutdown anymore only poweroff | 09:10 |
| gvo | shutdown has always been the preferred way. | 09:10 |
| userfriendly | is there a program / command that lets me have a message pop up on the local screen of a machine to which i connect via ssh? | 09:11 |

| gvo | scriptwarlock: that too. | 09:12 |

| pkt | Here in 12.04 there is /sbin/shutdown | 09:12 |
| bluefrog | pouet | 09:12 |
| scriptwarlock | wait lemme check | 09:13 |
| pkt | scriptwarlock: it is provided by "upstart" package fwiw | 09:13 |
| pkt | so if you deleted it for some reason, try reinstalling upstart | 09:13 |
| userfriendly | gvo: we're speaking about the same monitor, yes? | 09:13 |
| userfriendly | i mean the remote one | 09:13 |
| scriptwarlock | pkt, yeah saw it darn no sleep | 09:14 |
| Talisman`Work | gvo oh foo... it seems to be that my built-in 3G module is not supported | 09:14 |
| scriptwarlock | thanks guis | 09:14 |
| Talisman`Work | but my external 3G usb module is... I'm connected now. | 09:14 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: Not surprising. | 09:14 |
| Talisman`Work | yeh. | 09:14 |
| * Talisman`Work will have to look for Ericsson drivers I suppose, gvo | 09:15 | |
| gvo | userfriendly: the remote one is going to be difficult. | 09:15 |
| gvo | Talisman`Work: call Ericsson :) | 09:15 |
| userfriendly | gvo: it's like this - i'm on a windows box here(sadly), connecting to a remote linux box with ssh -Y, running x apps works fine etc. - on that remote linux box now there is a different user logged on, using the local display, and to that person i want to send a message on their screen. | 09:15 |
| drounse | what is a mysql server | 09:16 |
| userfriendly | there used to be a similar little thing on the windows platform, can't remember its name... | 09:16 |
| userfriendly | was just wondering if the *nix world had something similar | 09:16 |
| gvo | userfriendly: maybe xtalk? | 09:17 |
| Boreeas | userfriendly: It's net send / msg on windows, I think | 09:17 |
| gvo | Talk works for terminal users. | 09:17 |
| userfriendly | thanks guys :) i'll take a look at that | 09:18 |

| scriptwarlock | gvo, was buffled currently why it wont work anymore on ubuntu 11.10/12.04 | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | scriptwarlock: You should pretty much never make any file which isn't already setuid, setuid. It's a huge security risk. | 09:35 |
| dalek_ | I can't get DVDs to play anymore. What happened? I just get "could not read from resource" now. What am I missing? | 09:36 |
| gvo | I"m guessing suid might have been disabled in later distros. | 09:36 |
| Rourick | hi all, new here just came from win7 was curious is there software like ccleaner for linux? or do i not need anything...thanks | 09:36 |
| gvo | Rourick: what's ccleaner? | 09:36 |
| scriptwarlock | Jordan_U, setuid any links how i do it | 09:36 |
| Rourick | it cleans files, temp, it's a system cleaner | 09:36 |
| gvo | scriptwarlock: I agree with Jordan_U | 09:37 |
| gvo | Rourick: Not really necessary in Linux land | 09:37 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock: did you try sudo shutdown now; | 09:37 |
| Rourick | gvo ok thanks | 09:37 |
| dalek_ | I used to be able to play DVD discs from ANY regionin Ubuntu, now it seems it won't play nearly all my DVDs | 09:37 |
| antonio_ | the one thing I despise about ubuntu is how bad the sound system is | 09:38 |
| drounse | does anyone know how to adjust the resolution? | 09:38 |
| dime01 | gva, ok this command is working : sudo mount.cifs //10.0.1.4/Files /media/Files/ -o username=myUsername | 09:39 |
| dime01 | after Im typing my password | 09:39 |
| dime01 | Now how can I set it in fstab ? | 09:39 |
| dime01 | I mean the line I have to add in fstab ? | 09:39 |
| dalek_ | how do I find out if my DVD drive has been set to a region? | 09:39 |
| antonio_ | how the hell do you get sound to work in ubuntu | 09:40 |
| antonio_ | you plug in a usb headset and it messes everything up! | 09:40 |

| gvo | For example | 09:41 |
| dime01 | gvo ok thks I try it | 09:41 |
| drounse | i need the refresh rate on my monitor to be 60Hz but xubuntu only says 51.0Hz | 09:41 |
| gvo | Well add a 0 0 to the end. | 09:41 |
| dime01 | with netdev ? | 09:41 |
| dalek_ | how do I set my DVD drive to region 0? regionset only appears to allow 1-8 as choices | 09:41 |
| gvo | dime01: ? | 09:41 |
| dime01 | gva : Do I need to add the netdev option ? | 09:42 |
| ryannathans | is infiniband natively supported? | 09:42 |
| dime01 | gva : Ive seen that on the net | 09:42 |
| scriptwarlock_ | sacarlson, sudo shutdown still not power down | 09:42 |
| gvo | dime01: I don't know. | 09:43 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock_: does the system halt when that is run? | 09:43 |
| gvo | Just try it. | 09:43 |
| scriptwarlock_ | sacarlson, nope | 09:43 |
| ryannathans | scriptwarlock_: what doesn't shutdown? | 09:43 |
| ryannathans | scriptwarlock_: does sudo reboot work? | 09:43 |
| ryannathans | scriptwarlock_: what flags are you passing shutdown? | 09:43 |
| scriptwarlock_ | sacarlson, but pressing shutdown button works | 09:43 |
| === [P]3pafvyvas is now known as energy | ||
| antonio_ | this is driving me nuts! | 09:44 |
| gvo | dime01: umount the device if it's mounted, add to fstab and try a mount /mnt/samba or wherever you pointed the entry in fstab. | 09:44 |
| antonio_ | I unplugged my usb headset and it froze my computer! | 09:44 |
| antonio_ | how can I diagnose my sound problems? | 09:44 |
| ryannathans | antonio_: install latest drivers for your audio card/chip and header | 09:44 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock_: are you running sudo shutdown now; in a term? | 09:44 |
| ryannathans | headset | 09:44 |
| scriptwarlock_ | sacarlson, yes | 09:44 |
| ryannathans | scriptwarlock_: logs? | 09:45 |
| gvo | scriptwarlock_: shutdown -h now?? | 09:45 |
| scriptwarlock_ | sacarlson, it goes blackscreen and nothing happens | 09:45 |
| scriptwarlock_ | gvo, same | 09:45 |
| antonio_ | ryannathans: would I need to bother with drivers for my card if I'm using a usb headset? | 09:45 |
| dime01 | gva Ok thks | 09:45 |
| scriptwarlock_ | sacarlson, let me check the logs | 09:45 |
| gvo | scriptwarlock_: as root? | 09:45 |
| antonio_ | besides...10 minutes ago everything was fine | 09:45 |
| scriptwarlock_ | gvo, yes | 09:45 |
| ryannathans | antonio_: so what did you change? | 09:45 |
| gvo | scriptwarlock_: strange. | 09:45 |
| antonio_ | nothing | 09:46 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock_: with no results at all ? you did have to enter your sudo password also if asked | 09:46 |
| ryannathans | antonio_: well then you've always had the problem | 09:46 |
| ryannathans | if it keeps happening look for drives | 09:46 |
| ryannathans | antonio_: if all else fails, get logs and submit bug report | 09:46 |
| antonio_ | ryannathans: I didn't change anything...I was editing some audio and then boom | 09:46 |
| scriptwarlock_ | sacarlson, yes, but recently i chmod 7755 the shutdown | 09:46 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock_: oh so you didn't use sudo then? | 09:47 |
| dalek_ | I've never had to use regionset before. I've always been able to play all my DVDs from any region. What's gone wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/881618/ | 09:47 |

| Jordan_U | scriptwarlock_: sudo chmod 0755 /sbin/shutdown | 09:48 |

| sgo11 | Hi, how to check an installed package's dependencies? eg: which packages depends on this package? which packages does this package depend on? thanks. | 09:48 |
| Jordan_U | scriptwarlock_: Like I said earlier, whatever else happens, you should not make files setuid root. | 09:48 |
| scriptwarlock_ | Jordan_U, let me first find the logs it can help | 09:48 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock_: you might try sudo poweroff | 09:49 |

| dalek_ | Jordan_U, I recently had to replace the DVD drive on this laptop... I don't think I'd played DVDs on it since the new drive was installed. It is a brand new drive. Could this be why I can't play DVDs anymore? | 10:04 |

| scriptwarlock | Jordan_U, confirmed terminal shutdown not working but cog>shutdown working | 10:06 |
| mulberry | ok so far in the launcher I have: "gnome-terminal --geometry=132x43+0+0 && gtypist" but all I get is a large empty terminal. | 10:06 |
| Jordan_U | mulberry: That command says to launch gnome-terminal with a specific geometry, but without any specific command. Then run gtypist, without any controling terminal for gtypist at all. | 10:08 |

| fdssdfs | i guess | 10:14 |

| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, what log type am i going to hunt for shutdown problems in log | 10:15 |

| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, going to ubuntu+1 | 10:17 |
| fdssdfs | unity is nice,why use mate | 10:17 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock: you have ssh into the remote to try to shut it down? does it shutdown at it's own console? | 10:17 |
| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, terminal no but cog shutdown is fine | 10:17 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock: what is cog? a user? | 10:18 |
| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, aw i mean this gear icon top right | 10:18 |
| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, sorry not clear | 10:18 |
| vyrgozunqk | fdssdfs, because i don't like the way it works | 10:18 |

| vyrgozunqk | so i need mate : ) | 10:19 |

| darkcry | how about linux mint... | 10:21 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, that is the WHOLE problem.. I can't. I just keep getting "could not read from resource" now. | 10:22 |
| josep | yes | 10:23 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: but the disk stays in the drive doesn't it? any results from regionset when the disk in present in the drive when run? | 10:23 |
| borik | exit | 10:23 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, I have DVDs from almost every region... they all used to play just fine in ubuntu. I used to be able to just insert the disc and play, as you described... now something has changed, and that no longer works. | 10:23 |
| crashanddie | Hi, apologies if I offended anyone earlier, I'm sorry -- frustration got the best of me. | 10:24 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, what do you mean? I can't run regionset if there is no disc in the drive... there is always a disc in the drive when I run regionset | 10:24 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: some dvd's won't allow setting to mode 0, so I guess you'll be stuck picking one that it will allow | 10:24 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, I have a DVD which is region 0... even when I inser that in the drive, I still can't set region to 0 with regionset | 10:26 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: or find the dvd hack code to reflash the firmcode of your dvd | 10:26 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: as I said some dvd won't allow region 0 seting | 10:27 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, is there any way to see which (if anything) region my drive is set to? | 10:27 |
| crashanddie | I'm trying to upgrade from Natty to Oneiric. I'm getting "E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."

| vyrgozunqk | ... | 10:28 |
| crashanddie | vyrgozunqk, ok, but which ones? | 10:28 |
| gvo | I think dpkg -l give status info, does that include the broken status? | 10:29 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: your drive drive plays discs from region(s):, mask=0xFF | 10:30 |
| dalek_ | what is 0xff? | 10:30 |
| gvo | crashanddie: Try dpkg -l and look for packages with something other than ii in the first two columns. | 10:30 |
| vyrgozunqk | crashanddie, in synaptic there is a section for broken packages, remove all of them | 10:31 |
| gvo | dalek_: 255 | 10:31 |
| vyrgozunqk | ok i have to go | 10:31 |
| Anomie21 | Anyone know why 'Split into volumes of' is greyed out when I'm trying to compress? Do I need to install something else before that'll appear? Not having much luck with google | 10:31 |
| dalek_ | gvo, that's what I thought.. but 255 isn't a region..... | 10:31 |
| gvo | dalek_: It's probably a mask. | 10:31 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: I guess it's bit format each bit is allow or disalow so ff would be all 8 bits | 10:31 |
| fdssdfs | does anyone know if the ath9k wireless problem is being worked on? | 10:32 |
| fdssdfs | it got marked " solved" by using a USB dongle on laptops with the chipset | 10:32 |

| dalek_ | sacarlson, so would that mean it is set to region 8, or region 0? | 10:32 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: I guess it's eather all or none, not sure that a bit set means enable or disable | 10:33 |

| gvo | crashanddie: No, that status isn't anywhere broken. | 10:35 |
| crashanddie | gvo, FWIW, synaptic reports 0 packages broken | 10:35 |
| gvo | crashanddie: That's no help either. | 10:36 |
| crashanddie | I'm not used to synaptic, however, it does show a list of packages that aren't installed, but are from "local" origin. When I right click, I can mark them for "complete removal", however I have no idea how to apply that "complete removal" | 10:36 |
| dalek_ | I just can't understand why I can't play DVDs any more. I've never had this problem in Ubuntu before I replaced my DVD drive. I've always been able to just install the requisite stuff and all my discs would play. This is frustrating | 10:37 |

| silv3r_m00n | and what happens at other times ? | 10:41 |
| crashanddie | silv3r_m00n, I've been upgrading all my machines online for quite some time, this is the first time I'm stuck. | 10:41 |

| silv3r_m00n | crashanddie: what happened ? I am on 11.04 and planning to move to 11.10 , did you face the same thing | 10:41 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, yes, tried VLC, xine, everything... all either fail to put ANYTHING up or report a similar error "could not read from resource" | 10:42 |
| silv3r_m00n | gvo you mean it stops working after the upgrade ? | 10:42 |
| gvo | No it means it doesn't upgrade. | 10:42 |
| dalek_ | OerHeks, all these DVDs played fine in the past in Ubuntu. | 10:42 |
| silv3r_m00n | crashanddie: I mean were you on the same version ? | 10:42 |
| gvo | silv3r_m00n: the upgrade fails. | 10:42 |
| crashanddie | silv3r_m00n, yeah, I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, 10.10 and finally 11.04 yesterday, that went fine. Today I tried going from 11.04 to 11.10, and it basically refuses to do the upgrade | 10:43 |

| crashanddie | silv3r_m00n, nope | 10:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | oh great | 10:43 |
| crashanddie | I must be one of the lucky few. | 10:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | sure , I will try it now | 10:43 |
| gvo | I normally do a fresh install rather than an upgrade. | 10:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | I too , but now I have lots of data , can't clean partitions everytime , have been doing all this since long time , now want to go easy | 10:44 |
| gvo | It's cleaner and avoids incompatibility issues. | 10:44 |
| gvo | Give it a try, but back up your important data. | 10:44 |
| dalek_ | aaaaarrghh!!!! I don't know what I did, but now xine WILL play DVDs but nothing else will... about an hour ago when I came in here xine was not working either... | 10:45 |
| crashanddie | gvo, the reason I've been reluctant to do a fresh install is that this is a company-provided computer. There is no /home partition (everything on /), and I don't have enough HD space to back everything up. | 10:45 |
| gvo | I typically mount /home on a separate partition and don't reformat that. | 10:45 |
| gvo | crashanddie: usb drive? | 10:45 |
| waxstone | fresh installs are always recommended over upgrades (if possible!) especially across major versions i.e. 10.x --> 11.x -->12.x | 10:46 |
| crashanddie | gvo, I could, potentially, resize the current / partition, install the new distribution on whatever space I have available (something like 80GB), and then change the old partition to become my /home. | 10:46 |
| gvo | That would work but be sure to back up before resizing. | 10:47 |
| gvo | I had resize break a partition one time. Just once was enough. | 10:47 |
| crashanddie | I hear you | 10:47 |
| dalek_ | nope... I spoke too early. xine does not work either. For some reason the DVD copyright plays then it dies with a new error "error reading nav packet" | 10:47 |
| crashanddie | One thing's for sure though, if I do a fresh install, I'm going for mint :P | 10:48 |
| crashanddie | Anyway, thanks for the help everyone. | 10:48 |
| gvo | I have mint 12 on two systems. | 10:48 |
| sacarlson | crashanddie: in the future on a system like that maybe try lvm partitions that allow dynamic size changes | 10:48 |
| gvo | My netbook and another server. | 10:48 |
| dalek_ | I don't get it. VLC, Totem and Xine ALL used to be able to play any DVD.... now I get partial playback from Xine and nothing from anything else :( | 10:49 |
| crashanddie | gvo, I have mint 11 on my home server, I've been waiting for MATE to become a bit more stable before throwing 12 on it. It finally seems usable, so I'll go for that. | 10:49 |
| dalek_ | who can help me get my DVD playback working again? | 10:49 |
| gvo | crashanddie: It's working well for me. I really only use the netbook actively. The server just sits there and runs programs/backups etc. | 10:51 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: maybe it just a set of bad dvd disks, I lost alot my my dvd when my room got too how and they become unreadable with bubles seen under the surface | 10:53 |
| sacarlson | to hot | 10:53 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, the DVDs are all good. They all play on my multiregion DVD player on the TV and my other ubuntu desktop box. | 10:54 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: ok that proves that's wrong then | 10:55 |
| sacarlson | dalek_: take the dvd reader back since you just got it | 10:55 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, I am sure it has got to be connected with replacing the DVD drive in this laptop. | 10:55 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, I don't know if I can. It came from Toshiba spare parts supply Australia. (empr or something) | 10:59 |
| timkuijsten | what's up with the mysql-server upgrade from last night? it looks like it's breaking permissions.. | 10:59 |
| hoshi411_ | what makes ubuntu so slick that it mounts my partitions and makes them accessable to me by default while opensuse kde will not let even an admin account access them O_o | 11:01 |
| dalek_ | sacarlson, ok.. I've decided to risk it and use regionset to set the drive's region to region 2... and now. region 2 DVDs play, but none of my other region DVDs play... and I can only change the region 4 more times.... Why does regionset have NO option to choose region 0? | 11:03 |

| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, still figuring out how to do this | 11:38 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock: you want a user to remote in and shutdown without a password I guess? or do you need a group of users with this ability? | 11:39 |
| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, this app i'm using has the feature to remote shutdown and reboot dunno why in the first place they allow to chmod 7755 those | 11:40 |
| sara2010 | iceroot, ? waiting | 11:41 |
| sacarlson | scriptwarlock: ok so is it run from only one system to one user? or does it already work now and we are done? | 11:41 |
| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, yes | 11:42 |
| dalek_ | I have discovered that the whole problem is impossible and my DVD drive is basically screwed when it comes to playing DVDs. DVD playback on this laptop is simply no longer an option. :( | 11:43 |
| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, ah this is a cyber shop of mine and using some cyber cage management tools that has the feature of remote shutdown. so i guess i wont use the chmod 7755 anymore | 11:43 |
| scriptwarlock | sacarlson, *cyber cafe | 11:44 |

| newb_ | People, I need help with schroot. I have Apache installed there, but my session isn't persistent | 11:48 |
| newb_ | It's like Apache starts and the session end, and apache is stopped again | 11:48 |
| newb_ | If I login at chroot and start apache, all works, but if I exit, it's like I logout the entire system and shutdown it... | 11:48 |

| SunTsu | newb_: chroot() has no notion of "sessions" - it's a process attribute | 11:51 |
| newb_ | ikonia, SunTzu: I have Apache running PHP 5.2 at main system, I needed a fast way to start another Apache session running PHP 5.3 (and a lot of other different support) at same server. I used schroot to do this, then. Now I need this start at boot with the server. For no I'm doing this manually... :( | 11:57 |
| newb_ | ikonia, SunTzu: Start Apache at boot starts and kill the Apache proccess, and manually start isn't a good option for me | 11:58 |

| === cdeszaq_ is now known as cdeszaq | ||
| uni4dfx | Pici well looks like you haven't done enough of them | 12:42 |
| Pici | uni4dfx: Can you perhaps explain why it wasn't working without a password set? | 12:42 |
| uni4dfx | Pici It was spewing out Authentication failure errors until the second I ran sudo passwd root | 12:43 |
| Pici | uni4dfx: In root's crontab? | 12:43 |
| sacarlson | MagePsycho: I don't see any dir on my ubuntu 10.04 in /etc/httpd ; maybe you installed apache2 in some customized manner other than with ubuntu packages | 12:43 |
| uni4dfx | Pici Yes | 12:43 |
| theadmin | uni4dfx: Please note that for root you may not use "sudo crontab -e" or anything. You have to edit /etc/crontab, it should not need any password set or anything | 12:44 |
| Pici | theadmin: sudo crontab -e works just fine for me. | 12:44 |
| MagePsycho | sacarlson: how to know if php is running in apache server or else? | 12:44 |
| arch_adam | how do i configure postfix to send outgoing mail | 12:44 |
| theadmin | Pici: Oh, huh. Does it open /etc/crontab (or, that is, save to it after editing the temporary file?) | 12:45 |
| onosendi | exit | 12:45 |
| Pici | theadmin: no, it saves to root's crontab in /var/spool/cron/ | 12:45 |
| theadmin | Pici: Ah, okay, huh. Still weird why would anything need a password. | 12:45 |
| Pici | theadmin: agreed. | 12:45 |
| Pici | uni4dfx: I'd be really curious to see why it would need a password. I may be doing a new Ubuntu virtual install here soon, so I'll give it a look when I get the chance. | 12:46 |
| sacarlson | MagePsycho: make a file in your apache2 /var/www space with <?php phpinfo(); exit(); ?> | 12:46 |

| WhereIsMySpoon | PiranahOT, do they have access to delete? | 12:49 |

| theadmin | WhereIsMySpoon: Well you can't really "check" it, and no, they're not the same thing | 12:53 |

| theadmin | WhereIsMySpoon: If you see a panel with "Applications", "Places" and "System" on top, it's either gnome2 or gnome3 fallback, depending on your Ubuntu version. If you have "Activities" on top, that's the standard gnome3. If you have an Ubuntu logo and a panel on the left, that's Unity. XFCE... Uh, look for "Applications Menu" on top if I recall right. LXDE - strange, feather-like logo at the bottom | 12:54 |

| hrolf | Hi ubuntu, I installed openjdk-6-jdk and when I type javac it says it is found in the package openjdk-6-jdk. | 12:57 |
| hrolf | But openjdk-6-jdk is already installed | 12:57 |
| mosno | hrolf, type the full pathname of the executable | 12:57 |
| theadmin | hrolf: Java is a bit weird, you need to log out and back in after installing it, it doesn't install to standard $PATH | 12:58 |
| hrolf | I did a 'find -name 'javac'' and it appears in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/javac | 12:58 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | hrolf, or you can just change .bashrc yourself | 12:58 |
| hrolf | How do I make it so that when I type javac from anywhere it works | 12:58 |
| * mosno wonders what it does in debian (or if it's even in debian) -- sounds like a DP violation, no? | 12:58 | |
| mosno | hrolf, what theadmin said | 12:59 |
| theadmin | hrolf: As I said above, log out and back in, it should get added to your path thereafter | 12:59 |

| mosno | cveazey, full VM for the win | 12:59 |
| theadmin | hrolf: Ah, okay, well I dunno, I guess add /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin to $PATH, but... weird | 12:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | but cveazey im sure you can find the answer to that on google | 12:59 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | better than on here | 12:59 |
| hrolf | theadmin: But if you say so I may give it one last try | 12:59 |
| theadmin | hrolf: Nah no point | 13:00 |
| cveazey | Do you need a purchased version of Windows to run on VM? | 13:00 |
| hrolf | theadmin: How do you add paths to $PATH? | 13:00 |
| theadmin | hrolf: How did you install it anyway? | 13:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | hrolf, open your .bashrc | 13:00 |
| theadmin | cveazey: Yes | 13:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | it's in your /home/<name> | 13:00 |
| hrolf | theadmin: Synaptic Package manager | 13:00 |
| sacarlson | cveazey: you can trick sites make them think your using IE in when you really run firefox | 13:00 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | gksu gedit .bashrc | 13:00 |
| mosno | cveazey, of course. you're probably not even licensed to run IE on a non-Windows OS | 13:00 |

| bluefrog | cveazey, at least one version of seven or vista (don't remember which) forbids virtualisation (you need to read the entirity of the license to find out) | 13:01 |

| sacarlson | cveazey: you change agent https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ | 13:02 |
| ponrajuganesh | what option must be given in the cron tab so that the script runs only once in the life time? | 13:02 |
| theadmin | hrolf: Well, add the following line at the end: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin | 13:02 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | its better to add a java_home first imo | 13:02 |

| MrSassyPants | I need a howto on how to create a .deb from source | 13:02 |
| renier_ | hey, does anyone know how to prove that a .tar file has not been edited since a certain date? | 13:02 |
| cveazey | I will give it a try. Do you have any other tips? | 13:03 |
| theadmin | !checkinstall | MrSassyPants | 13:03 |
| jrib | !packaging | MrSassyPants | 13:03 |
| ubottu | MrSassyPants: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 13:03 |
| ubottu | MrSassyPants: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 13:03 |
| bluefrog | maskupe, quickest thing to do is to back your data and make a fresh install of the latest version | 13:03 |
| MrSassyPants | so, just 'checkinstall' instead of 'make install' ? | 13:03 |
| theadmin | MrSassyPants: Pretty much yes | 13:03 |

| MrSassyPants | jrib, and I want the package manager to be aware of the installation | 13:05 |

| abe__ | ikonia : so,,, how can i get openssl ??? | 13:48 |
| cancer | ikonia: any solution. i'm a newbie | 13:48 |
| ikonia | abe__: open the package manager and install it | 13:48 |
| ikonia | cancer: I wouldn't want to pickup trying to solve it to be honest, you've manually installed the modules from nvidia.com (as I read that forum post) | 13:48 |
| AminosAmigos | how to say where do we know each other in Indian ? | 13:48 |
| ikonia | AminosAmigos: I'm not from India, I'm asking what your problem is/why you need someone from India ? | 13:49 |
| cancer | ikonia: is there anything i can do to turn everything back. | 13:49 |
| ikonia | AminosAmigos: this channel is #ubuntu - it's for ubuntu technical support discussion, so I'm trying to understand why you need someone from India | 13:49 |
| ikonia | cancer: not without manually undoing what you have done | 13:49 |
| abe__ | ikonia : and how to install it via terminal ?? | 13:49 |
| cancer | ikonia: and i cannot delete file from /usr/src. | 13:49 |
| AminosAmigos | cuz i have an indian guy talking with me and i don't understand him at all LoL | 13:50 |
| ikonia | cancer: that won't make any difference | 13:50 |
| AminosAmigos | i am sorry for wasting your time | 13:50 |
| ikonia | AminosAmigos: I suggest using google translate, | 13:50 |
| cancer | ikonia: i don't know to do that manually | 13:50 |

| Bunie | Hey guys! x86 or x64? | 14:57 |
| ikonia | Bunie: up to you | 14:58 |
| ikonia | justalek: you need to ask a question | 14:58 |
| qhartman | justalek, what's going wrong? | 14:58 |
| bdi | Why is it a good idea to do ./configure --prefix=/usr/local when compiling a lib? lets say i am compiling a lib which other programs coming from the repo make use of...is it then still a good idea? | 14:58 |
| proxx8187 | Bunie: depends on your hardware | 14:58 |
| ikonia | bdi: it is a bad idea in general to put software form the repos linking against non-repo managed libraries | 14:59 |
| Bunie | proxx8187: I worry about things like, does x64 use more ram? what about finding drivers? | 14:59 |
| ikonia | bdi: there should be very few reasons why you'd need to manually build a lib, and even fewer where you want repo software to use that lib | 14:59 |
| qhartman | bdi: It's just goo hygiene to keep stuff that is not under package management separate | 14:59 |
| ikonia | qhartman: there is a lot more to it than just "being clean" | 14:59 |
| proxx8187 | Bunie: x64 can use all ram , 86 cant, limited | 14:59 |
| bdi | qhartman: what i need is not in the repo | 14:59 |
| proxx8187 | bunie : i run everything on x64 | 15:00 |
| justalek | ok, i have windows and ubuntu 11.10. On boot i see a grub splash screen, and windows7 loader, but when i choose windows from drop down menu it cannot boot | 15:00 |
| ikonia | bdi: what are you looking for | 15:00 |
| bdi | ikonia: e.g. gphoto is in the repo, but it uses a buggy version of libgphoto, so i want to upgrade just libgphoto | 15:00 |
| qhartman | ikonia, yes, there is | 15:00 |
| ikonia | bdi: does anything else depend on that library from the repo ? | 15:00 |
| bdi | ikonia: that i do not know...i suspect maybe this fshot i think its called | 15:01 |
| vasilevich | hello is anyone free to help me set up a network interface? | 15:01 |
| Bunie | i guess i dont rlly see a reason to go x64. this PC is physically limited to 2GB of ram lolz. | 15:01 |
| proxx8187 | justalek: try run grub-mkconfig again | 15:01 |
| ikonia | bdi: that is something you %101 need to know before you cosider putting it in a place where the other library is stored. | 15:01 |
| kame | can somebody help me? | 15:01 |
| proxx8187 | justa ask | 15:01 |
| ikonia | bdi: also keep in mind, you'll probably need to re-compile the actual package to link against that library, rather than just dump the library in place | 15:02 |
| bdi | ikonia: i need to remote control my canon d80 camera via my ubuntu PC, which is done via gphoto....but this works very poorly, so i have to upgrade libgphoto | 15:02 |
| auronandace | Bunie: you can't go 64bit if your processor doesn't support it anyway | 15:02 |
| Bunie | auronandace: It does | 15:02 |
| kame | i asked before and now again .... I want to read japanese news feeds in evolution. but some of the characters are old chinese characters. I had the same problem before in opera. but I forget how I solved this :/ | 15:02 |
| Bunie | NO idea why a board with a 2GB limit supports x64 | 15:02 |
| ikonia | bdi: I understand what you are saying, that's why I'm trying to explain how you will need to manage it | 15:02 |
| proxx8187 | kame: no idea about japanse :P | 15:02 |
| ikonia | Bunie: because you don't need 4gb of ram to use 64bit | 15:02 |
| auronandace | Bunie: ah, good, i've used 64bit for years, its great | 15:02 |
| Bunie | ikonia: But what will i get for using it? | 15:02 |
| justalek | proxx8187: then what? | 15:03 |
| bdi | ikonia: yeah...hmm would it be possible to download libgphoto and gphoto and put it in their own kindof, sandbox | 15:03 |
| Bunie | ikonia: I know finding x64 drivers on Windows can be a struggle. the same is true for ubuntu yes? | 15:03 |
| proxx8187 | justalek: try and reboot, see if that works | 15:03 |
| ikonia | Bunie: same thing as a 32bit host | 15:03 |
| ikonia | Bunie: no, | 15:03 |
| vasilevich | i need help configuriing my network interface like this: I have three network adapters: WLAN0 ETH0 ETH1 i would like to recieve internet from WLAN0 and share it to either ETH0/ETH1 | 15:03 |
| proxx8187 | bunie: thats typical windows mindset, forget about that | 15:03 |
| Bunie | i know open source drivers can be compiled for both. | 15:03 |
| Bunie | but proprietary? | 15:03 |
| ikonia | Bunie: the kernel that runs for 32bit, is the same as 64bit | 15:03 |
| ikonia | Bunie: so anything that is native support to the kernel, in 32bit will be native to 64bit | 15:03 |
| bdi | ikonia: because yeah i would probably need to recompile programs using libgphoto if i upgraded that | 15:03 |
| Bunie | so 32-bit drivers work on x64 ubuntu? | 15:04 |
| ikonia | Bunie: most vendors, nvidia/ati for example provide 64bit binary packages, but ubuntu packages them up for you so you don't have to do a thing | 15:04 |
| === raju is now known as dave | ||
| bdi | ikonia: so it would be really cool if i could somehow keep those separate from the system | 15:04 |
| === dave is now known as raju | ||
| Bunie | i suppose if it fails me i can just reinstall with x86 | 15:04 |
| Bunie | nothin to lose :D | 15:04 |
| Bunie | i know "theres all kinds of programs out there", but does Ubuntu work well with the RDP protocol? | 15:05 |
| auronandace | Bunie: from a user perspective you likely won't notice any difference | 15:05 |
| ikonia | bdi: if you %100 have to build your own software, I'd see this as an isolated/specific case, so I'd built it in /opt or /usr/local to keep it totally seperate from the ubuntu packages | 15:05 |
| ikonia | Bunie: no more/less than any other linux | 15:05 |
| proxx8187 | Bunie: only better performance | 15:05 |
| Bunie | i want compatability. i dont wanna be told "this is for x64, sorry", but i worry about x86 programs not being compatible with x64, either. | 15:06 |
| bdi | ikonia: right, so i would do ./configure --prefix=/opt when compiling both libgphoto and gphoto? | 15:06 |
| auronandace | Bunie: maybe if you provide examples we can help | 15:06 |
| proxx8187 | Bunie: linux doesnt work that way, you can run 32 bit stuff on 64 install | 15:06 |
| Bunie | Also, I'm a bit of a gamer. Hows Nvidia doing? I heard they started compiling linux drivers again? | 15:06 |
| ikonia | bdi: at a high level "yes" | 15:06 |

| Bunie | ikonia: Last question. On the download page, 32-bit is "Recommended". If 64-bit is no more complex. then why is that? for people who arent sure if theyre x64 compatible? | 15:07 |
| bahar_ | why is ubuntuuusers.de down | 15:07 |

| Bunie | lols kidding. wish me luck though :D | 15:09 |
| regi | oi | 15:09 |
| ikonia | I don't think you should do that | 15:09 |
| bdi | ikonia: at a high level? | 15:09 |
| Bunie | why not? | 15:09 |
| imbezol | Bunie: ubuntu won't be sad :) | 15:09 |
| ikonia | Bunie: sideby side or "wubi" is not a great option in my experience/opinion | 15:09 |
| vasilevich | i need help configuriing my network interface like this: I have three network adapters: WLAN0 ETH0 ETH1 i would like to recieve internet from WLAN0 and share it to ETH0 or ETH1 can someone please give me the right configuration for /etc/network/interfaces | 15:09 |
| Bunie | not wubi | 15:09 |
| compdoc | Bunie, back it up first | 15:09 |
| Bunie | im told the installer can shrink my windows partition | 15:09 |
| Bunie | compdoc: Too lazy. | 15:09 |
| ikonia | bdi: well, it's more than just "--prefix=/opt" but that's the bottom line of it, you install everything to /opt or /usr/local/ or where ever | 15:09 |
| ikonia | Bunie: dual boot will be fine | 15:09 |
| bahar_ | know anybody how i can protect myself against porn | 15:10 |
| Bunie | i worry about shrinking partitions | 15:10 |
| Bunie | =/ | 15:10 |
| auronandace | Bunie: no backups mean you don't consider your data important, hope you know what you are doing | 15:10 |
| ikonia | bahar_: don't open websites that you don't trust | 15:10 |
| nibbler_ | bahar_, i guess the way to go would be a filter like for kids, they should have blacklists | 15:10 |
| Bunie | i have all my data sort of backed up =D | 15:10 |
| ikonia | bahar_: there are numerous porn blacklists available on the internet, you can use them to block sites with many technologies | 15:10 |
| bdi | ikonia: hmm ok so how do i do that | 15:10 |
| proxx8187 | vasilevich: you probably have to look into iptables for that, lower level bridging is often not possible due to crappy firmware | 15:11 |
| proxx8187 | vasilevich: or take a look at brctl which might be able to help you .... again firmware for wifi is often poor. | 15:12 |

| ikonia | bdi: do what ? | 15:13 |
| bdi | ikonia: i mean...install everything to /opt | 15:15 |
| ikonia | bdi: you'll need to do some research, you've got the concept right with --prefix=/opt | 15:15 |
| bdi | ikonia: do i have to look through all files and check where they will be copied to? | 15:15 |
| ikonia | bdi: you'll see that when you do "make install" | 15:15 |
| gvo | ikonia a quote from Lorem Ipsum? | 15:15 |
| ikonia | gvo: what ? | 15:16 |
| bdi | ikonia: right...so adapt the make-file ? | 15:16 |
| gvo | answer to regi statement ;) | 15:16 |

| Bunie_ | i know this is probably a "duh" question but, Linux can compile windows programs yes? | 15:17 |
| proxx8187 | Bunie_: no | 15:17 |
| gvo | Bunie_: Not really | 15:17 |
| Bunie_ | really? :S | 15:17 |
| proxx8187 | Bunie_: libraries must be native, if course | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: no | 15:18 |
| auronandace | Bunie_: what windows programs do you have the source to? :) | 15:18 |
| proxx8187 | lol | 15:18 |
| Bunie_ | Server emulators n such | 15:18 |
| remoteCTRL | why the fuck does ununtu simply unsinstall some of my apps without any warning on OS upgrade, are you guys outa your minds??? | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: most windows programs are not open source | 15:18 |
| bdi | ikonia: hmm ok...so i dont see what more i can do that change PREFIX = /opt | 15:18 |
| stephanb | hi, i got xubuntu 11.10 installed, is there a way to install unity as a second DE, without reinstalling? like is there a metapackage for the unity-desktop | 15:18 |
| Bunie_ | ikonia: I feel thats an untrue statement :P | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: any that are, will depend on microsoft libraries/tools that do not exist on windows | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: ok - well, it's not but if you "feel it's untrue" why are asking if it's possible | 15:18 |
| Bunie_ | that parts prolly true tho. But its not rlly a "windows program" as it can be compiled for linux too | 15:19 |
| ikonia | bdi: it's silly things, like make sure the linker is looking in the right place | 15:19 |
| proxx8187 | bored | 15:19 |

| Bunie_ | Random programs, Game servers, etc. | 15:19 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: give me an example | 15:20 |
| Bunie_ | Lolz I cant think of any. like, maybe a world of warcraft server? | 15:20 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: ok, is there a Linux version of that ? | 15:20 |
| Bunie_ | uses the same source for both linux and windows compiles, using a program called cmake | 15:20 |
| Bunie_ | so i know it can be built for linux | 15:20 |
| Bunie_ | can linux build the windows version? | 15:20 |
| proxx8187 | why are you asking such questions when you know the answer... pfff | 15:21 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: I've just looked at it, there is a linux version and a microsoft version | 15:21 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: they are just in the same source tar ball | 15:21 |
| Bunie_ | i dunno im just making conversation =x ill just accept the answer as no for now | 15:21 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: and no, the linux version cannot build the microsoft platform | 15:21 |
| ikonia | Bunie_: the answer is "no" | 15:22 |

| cesarstafe | hi people, I am installing an Ubunty 10.04.4 server and for my surprise there is not a way to install 'sun-java6-jre' | 15:28 |
| ikonia | bahar_: you can download public blacklists from the internet, you can then use multiple applications such as squid for example, or just your /etc/hosts file to use them | 15:28 |
| Middle | cesarstafe: I believe that is proprietry so you need to download it from sun directly | 15:28 |
| chson | cesarstafe: I believe there is a repo you can to get sun-java6 apt-getable | 15:29 |
| Bunie | i want to know about how ubuntu updates. | 15:29 |
| Bunie | ive been told different things about it | 15:29 |
| auronandace | !partner | cesarstafe | 15:29 |
| ubottu | cesarstafe: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 15:29 |
| bahar_ | thanks to all for the answers | 15:29 |
| cesarstafe | Middle: mmm.. some guys suggest to add a new repo | 15:29 |
| Middle | chson: Probably the sun repo (Kinda like for ffcx 8 you need the mozilla repo) | 15:29 |
| Bunie | if i install say Ubuntu 11.10 and then 12.04 comes out | 15:29 |
| Bunie | what do i do | 15:29 |
| cesarstafe | but i did it without luck | 15:30 |
| Bunie | apt-get upgrade? | 15:30 |
| cesarstafe | I did | 15:30 |
| auronandace | Bunie: you can upgrade when it comes out | 15:30 |
| Middle | Think so | 15:30 |
| ikonia | !upgrade > Bunie | 15:30 |
| ubottu | Bunie, please see my private message | 15:30 |
| ikonia | Bunie: well documented in the link ubottu just pm'd you | 15:30 |
| Middle | Bunie: It will give you an option to upgrade when a new version is dettected | 15:30 |
| chson | Middle: probably.. whatever it is it was like the first hit on google. | 15:30 |
| ikonia | Middle: no it won't as it's an LTS release | 15:30 |
| cesarstafe | I added a report with that ... add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" | 15:31 |
| Bunie | so just apt-get upgrade? D: Just say yes or no ._. lolz | 15:31 |
| Middle | ikonia: touche | 15:31 |
| auronandace | Bunie: apt-get upgrade installs updates for your current version, it will not upgrade you to the next version | 15:31 |
| Bunie | oh | 15:31 |
| Bunie | k | 15:31 |
| Bunie | ill check the document then | 15:31 |

| FloodBot1 | Bunie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:31 |
| cesarstafe | and after that doesn't exist sun-java6-jdk | 15:31 |
| auronandace | Bunie: please stop saying lol | 15:31 |
| Middle | Any idea what ubottu is written in? | 15:31 |
| Bunie | auronandace: Habbit, my apologies ^^ | 15:32 |
| ikonia | Middle: many language | 15:32 |
| technel | When I alt+tab, Unity restarts. Sometimes it fails and window title bars disappear, with the keyboard unusable. There are sporadic references to this on Google with no solutions. What do I do?! | 15:32 |
| ikonia | Middle: ooh, sorry ubottu | 15:32 |
| ska | How do I do an update, but keep the current kernel? (it wants to install a new kernel-image). | 15:32 |
| ikonia | Middle: python | 15:32 |
| Bunie | technel: Sounds like a driver issue, but im the noob in the room. | 15:32 |
| ikonia | ska: package pinning | 15:32 |
| auronandace | technel: compiz is rather buggy | 15:32 |
| Middle | cesarstafe: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u3-download-1501626.html | 15:32 |
| technel | Bunie: I'm using the open-source Radeon driver, which is what the Ubuntu wiki recommends for my card (it's listed on the supported cards). | 15:32 |
| auronandace | technel: compiz --replace | 15:33 |
| ikonia | technel: doens't mean it's "good", it recommends the "best" option not all singing all working option | 15:33 |
| cesarstafe | I added a repository with that ... add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" | 15:33 |
| cesarstafe | Middle: ok, I will see how to download it to my server | 15:33 |
| Middle | technel: I suggest maybe trying hte proprietry driver, it worked better for me than the community one, I had a 5870 | 15:33 |
| Middle | cesarstafe: wget <link to the versiojn you want> | 15:34 |
| ikonia | cesarstafe: sudo apt-get update - the software from that repo are now visible to you | 15:34 |
| Bunie | ikonia: im about to reboot to install ubuntu. If my wireless card doesnt work, what do i do? come back here and cry to you? :3 | 15:34 |
| ikonia | Bunie: try to fix it with many of the support resources available | 15:34 |
| Bunie | but ill be offline. | 15:34 |
| technel | auronandace: A cursory web search shows if I remove Compiz, Unity goes too... is that correct? | 15:34 |
| cesarstafe | ikonia: I did an apt get update | 15:34 |
| proxx8187 | bunie: no go google | 15:34 |
| ikonia | Bunie: then why ask a silly question ? | 15:35 |
| auronandace | Bunie: use the ethernet cable | 15:35 |
| cesarstafe | but it didn't bring me the package | 15:35 |
| Middle | Bunie: If it doesn't work straight away, it probably will work fine, then get an ethernet cable and ocme back | 15:35 |
| Toph2 | auronandace,,, i'm having issues with 11.01. After a day of service my computer slows down almost to hanging ans compiz is taking up a lot of the resources,, can I run without compiz and if so, how? | 15:35 |
| Bunie | thats actually a good idea, Auron. | 15:35 |
| technel | Middle: Hmm, okay, I will give it a go (I have a 6850) | 15:35 |
| ikonia | cesarstafe: it does, if you do apt-get update it will update your repo, you can now use the package manager to search for the software you want | 15:35 |
| auronandace | technel: unity uses compiz as its window manager, so i guess its true | 15:35 |
| Middle | technel: Yeah the proprietry drivers for ATI are still shit but ffor high end cars I think they are a bit better | 15:35 |
| ikonia | Middle: no need for that language | 15:35 |
| cesarstafe | ikonia: ok, I will try again | 15:36 |
| Middle | ikonia: Sorry, we are all adults | 15:36 |
| ikonia | Middle: no, we are not, all ages/races/genders in here | 15:36 |
| auronandace | Toph2: i use xfce, i don't use unity or compiz | 15:36 |
| proxx8187 | adult... genders.... lol women arnt adults :P | 15:36 |
| auronandace | Toph2: so yes, you can run ubuntu without all the fancy effects | 15:36 |
| Toph2 | auronandace,,, i should try that,, see if it makes a difference | 15:37 |
| Toph2 | i don't need the fancy | 15:37 |
| Middle | ikonia: I won't swear again but, I stil se it as a ridiculous rule. If I was being offensive to a user of the channel then yes, but that was just a casual use of the language that was clearly more descriptive than offensive | 15:37 |
| auronandace | Toph2: unity also has a non-compiz version using qt, unity2d | 15:37 |
| cesarstafe | ikonia: nope, after an apt-get update I have searched sun-java6-jdk and nothing appears | 15:37 |
| Toph2 | auronandace,,, thanks | 15:37 |
| Middle | Toph2: You could also try a different Desktop Environment | 15:37 |
| auronandace | Toph2: should be available in the login screen | 15:37 |
| Middle | cesarstafe: You need to download the version you want from the link I sent you | 15:38 |
| ikonia | cesarstafe: do you know if it's in that repo ? | 15:38 |
| ikonia | !info sun-java6-jdk | 15:38 |
| ubottu | Package sun-java6-jdk does not exist in oneiric | 15:38 |
| ikonia | so it's totally been removed | 15:38 |
| Middle | cesarstafe: Because oracle produces it, its not open source | 15:38 |
| Middle | cesarstafe: So go and download it from orcales website | 15:39 |
| cesarstafe | Middle: yes, I know... Oracle is the responsible for this | 15:39 |
| ska | How can I tell system to pick a particular kernel for boot? Edit grub.cfg? or is there a smoother way? | 15:39 |
| cesarstafe | ikonia: I am not the only one that doesn't have goog luck with that | 15:40 |
| cesarstafe | https://twitter.com/#!/sylvaingarcia/statuses/174949118345609216 | 15:40 |
| gvo | ska grub or grub2? | 15:40 |
| ikonia | cesarstafe: probably because it's been "removed" | 15:40 |
| cesarstafe | yes, I hate that | 15:40 |
| ska | gvo: 1.98-1ubuntu13 grub | 15:41 |
| ikonia | ska: grub2 | 15:41 |
| Middle | Anyone else dislike grub2, I found grub so easy to edit etc... | 15:41 |
| ska | ikonia: grub2 and ? | 15:41 |
| Middle | ska: You are using grub2 most likely | 15:42 |
| ikonia | Middle: it's not a poll channel, it's a support channel | 15:42 |
| ikonia | !grub2 > ska | 15:42 |
| ubottu | ska, please see my private message | 15:42 |
| ikonia | ska: ubottu's just pm'd you a link that explains how to change grub2 config | 15:42 |

| Fraz | using xintrc | 15:43 |
| auronandace | chmouel: 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 until it is released please | 15:43 |
| Middle | Fraz: You can probably set up a startup script from the menu's or using rc.d | 15:43 |
| sacarlson | Fraz: another option is cron event with @reboot | 15:44 |
| auronandace | !upstart | Fraz | 15:44 |
| ubottu | Fraz: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 15:44 |
| Middle | Fraz: there are a lot of ways, easiest is probably just to do it through a menu item (If you are using desktop edition) | 15:44 |
| sunropid | Hello I formatted a partition by mistake (ext3 to ext4), and i have not touched it since then. how can i recover it? | 15:44 |

| Bunie | ONE MORE THING | 15:45 |
| Bunie | Ubuntu has Truecrypt yes? | 15:45 |
| Middle | It is available | 15:45 |
| Bunie | i just remembered all my drives r encrypted >3> | 15:45 |
| Middle | I can't say if it is inluceded by default | 15:45 |
| ikonia | Bunie: yes, but I'd strongly advice against using it unless you really have to | 15:45 |
| gvo | didn't Fraz mention xinitrc? That's for affecting X behavior. | 15:45 |
| ikonia | yes, it has truecrypt | 15:45 |
| Bunie | thats going to make this difficult isnt it XD | 15:45 |
| Middle | gvo: well spotted | 15:45 |
| Bunie | my system drive is encrypted | 15:45 |
| ska | I'm simply going to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and move MY kernel entry to the top position. | 15:46 |
| Bunie | going to try to shrink it | 15:46 |
| Fraz | yes i want to change the mouse sensitivity when i boot up | 15:46 |
| ska | I see no other obvious way. | 15:46 |
| ikonia | ska: it won't work | 15:46 |
| Bunie | prolly ruin my drive. :3 bye guys | 15:46 |
| gvo | ska /etc/default/grub | 15:46 |
| Middle | Fraz: You may want to look at Xorg.conf | 15:46 |
| gvo | That's the file you need to change. | 15:46 |
| auronandace | ska: there is also /etc/default/grub that you can alter | 15:46 |
| ikonia | ska: the next update you get, it will override it | 15:46 |
| Middle | Fraz: Can't you do that from the preferences menu thogh? | 15:46 |
| proxx8187 | finally hes gone | 15:47 |
| ska | ok.. | 15:47 |
| Fraz | Middle, yeah but its on the lowest setting | 15:47 |
| Fraz | the sliders are way down at the bottom | 15:47 |
| Middle | Can't you change it? | 15:47 |
| Middle | Fraz: So slide them up? | 15:47 |
| Fraz | i want to make it less sensitive:P | 15:47 |
| Middle | Oh | 15:47 |
| ska | gvo: So I edit /etc/default/grub and select the appropriate number for booti? | 15:47 |
| Fraz | ive already done it in the terminal but i want to do it auto when i boot | 15:48 |
| Middle | Okay urm not sure where Xorg.conf is on Ubuntu but in that file you should be able to edit your X settings | 15:48 |
| Fraz | ok cool thanks | 15:48 |
| Fraz | ill take a look | 15:48 |
| proxx8187 | xorg.conf is not used by default, at least not anymore. | 15:48 |
| auronandace | Middle: xorg.conf isn't used by default anymore | 15:48 |
| Middle | Fraz: /etc/X11/Xorg.conf on FreeBSD, but that may not be of help. And what command did you do to lower the sensitivity? | 15:48 |
| gvo | ska edit /etc/default/grub and then run sudo update-grub | 15:48 |
| Fraz | hm | 15:49 |
| Middle | auronandace: Ah okay scrap that | 15:49 |
| Middle | Fraz: Scrap Xorg.conf | 15:49 |
| Fraz | yeah i saw | 15:49 |
| ezoe | hi. is casper-rw persistent file required for booting from USB flash drive? Ubuntu failed to boot. | 15:49 |
| auronandace | Middle: it does depend on your driver though, i think nvidia sticks with a xorg.conf | 15:49 |
| ska | gvo: I see in the docs where it allows you to specify the menuentry title as well. | 15:49 |
| gvo | Sure | 15:50 |
| Fraz | well i have an nvidia card. what does that mean? xorg.conf is used? | 15:50 |
| compdoc | Im upgrading a server from 11.04 to 11.10 - wish me luck! | 15:50 |
| gvo | Good luck. | 15:50 |
| gvo | Don't be surprise if it doesn't work. | 15:51 |
| gvo | surprised. | 15:51 |
| auronandace | Fraz: if you use the nvidia (not nouveau) driver then most likely yes | 15:51 |
| Middle | Fraz: I think it will be easier for you to just add the command you want to run to a startup location, I'm just not entirely sure what Ubuntu uses nowadays | 15:51 |
| sacarlson | Fraz: I think the xorg.conf just overrides the default settings as nvidea does when they force there driver to be used instead of default | 15:52 |
| auronandace | Fraz: quickest way is to just check in /etc/X11/ | 15:52 |

| auronandace | Middle: i have no experience with upstart (i prefer the archlinux rc.conf way myself) | 15:53 |
| Middle | auronandace: Ah rc.conf that was what I was thinking of | 15:54 |
| Middle | auronandace: FreeBSD uses that too :) | 15:54 |
| Middle | Fraz: You are looking for a file called Xorg.conf | 15:54 |
| sun_devil | My ubuntu email client will not let me send email using google account? | 15:54 |
| gvo | Anyone know the reasoning for upstart? Sys V init has been around well almost forever and works well,. | 15:54 |
| Middle | Fraz: It will be in /etc/X11/ IF it exists | 15:54 |
| Fraz | oh | 15:54 |
| Fraz | yeah its there | 15:54 |
| gvo | Middle: that's with a small letter x | 15:55 |
| Middle | Fraz: Urm then if you want to try editing it to slow your mouse down then you will need to google modifying xorg.conf to reduce mouse sensitivity | 15:55 |

| Fraz | thats simalar to what i was asking about earlier | 16:03 |
| Middle | Fraz: About the chmod'ing you need to run "chmod +x startup.sh" before copyoing it | 16:03 |
| K1rk|Work | gvo: I found parted and I wrote up a script. It complains at me because there's an ext3 filesystem on the partition... | 16:03 |

| johnjacobjinger | oh wait i see the red | 16:39 |
| johnjacobjinger | lol | 16:39 |
| Bunie | auronandace: you still here? | 16:39 |
| ikonia | luxius: ok, so it's telling you the problem there, | 16:39 |
| johnjacobjinger | what happens if you change the display resolution or color options of the vnc viewer | 16:39 |
| Bunie | or ikonia? | 16:39 |
| ikonia | luxius: you need to look at why it can't update it | 16:39 |
| auronandace | Bunie: yes | 16:39 |
| Bunie | it tells me "Boot Error" | 16:39 |
| johnjacobjinger | weclome back oooaaaooo1 | 16:39 |
| Bunie | Though the usb works fine in my other PC | 16:39 |
| ikonia | Bunie: what ? | 16:39 |
| ikonia | luxius: remove the file and let the window manage gcreate a new one | 16:39 |
| Bunie | and its the same USB i used to install Windows 7 on this one | 16:39 |
| ikonia | Bunie: I thought you where doing an install ? | 16:39 |
| Bunie | I was. | 16:39 |
| jameslordhz | johnjacobjinger dude, when u open a web page using firefox, u can see the title on head bar, understand? | 16:39 |
| luxius | ikonia, just read that in a forum thread, trying ... (thanks) | 16:39 |
| Bunie | install from a usb | 16:39 |
| ikonia | Bunie: then why are you talking about usb's | 16:39 |
| Bunie | using lili | 16:39 |
| ikonia | sorry, that's your problem to make a working usb stick | 16:40 |
| ikonia | !install | Bunie | 16:40 |
| ubottu | Bunie: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 16:40 |
| ikonia | Bunie: there is a good doc in that link | 16:40 |
| Bunie | ikonia: i made a working usb stick | 16:40 |
| oooaaaooo1 | johnjacobjinger: i tried the telnet and it said connected. I even printed out a pdf. It worked. The only difference with this pdf is that its a smaller file. It seems to screw up when I try to print larger files. The one that failed was >200 K | 16:40 |
| Bunie | my laptop is running it right now | 16:40 |
| ikonia | Bunie: well, you've not as it's says "boot error" | 16:40 |
| Bunie | but my desktop wont =/ | 16:40 |
| ikonia | Bunie: ok - so what is the exact error on your desktop | 16:40 |
| johnjacobjinger | jameslordhz: yes i understand what u are saying now looking at the pic... i'm saying what happens when you change your color options of the vnc viwer to less colors | 16:40 |
| Bunie | im burning a CD Now anyways. if it says Boot Error ill cry | 16:40 |
| Bunie | ikonia "Boot Error". I press any key and it just repeats | 16:40 |
| Bunie | until i remove the key and it boots as usual | 16:41 |
| johnjacobjinger | the reason why is cuz that happens to me when i use vnc with win7 sometimes... i cnt see tabs or certain things | 16:41 |
| ikonia | Bunie: why do you have the USB disk in ? | 16:41 |
| johnjacobjinger | and it has to do with the VNC driver | 16:41 |
| luxius | ikonia, that did the trick. Thanks a lot for your assistance! | 16:41 |
| ikonia | Bunie: if you've done an install why are you leaving the usb stick in ? | 16:41 |
| ikonia | luxius: no problem | 16:41 |
| ikonia | luxius: you solved it yourself rewally | 16:41 |
| ikonia | really | 16:41 |
| Islam | any body have any idea how to solve a wine problem not working with paltalk messenger | 16:41 |
| Bunie | ikonia: Its a usb installer. it doesnt work onmy desktop tho | 16:41 |
| Bunie | it works on my laptop | 16:41 |
| ikonia | Islam: the guys in #winehq probably | 16:41 |
| Xabster | Can I tell Ubuntu 11.10 to disconnect from the wireless when there's a wired connection? .. And still auto-connect like normal | 16:41 |
| johnjacobjinger | oooaaaooo1: hmmm interesting... what happens when u print direct without going through cups | 16:41 |
| luxius | ikonia, partly, but you were the right kind of support. I don't know all the commands by heart =) | 16:41 |
| Bunie | wich makes it seem like my desktop isnt compatable, however, i installed win7 from usb just yesterday | 16:42 |
| luxius | ikonia, as an old Windoze user all those permissions and what not is "handled" (or rather not) by the system ^^ | 16:42 |
| ikonia | luxius: not a problem, glad you are working | 16:42 |
| oooaaaooo1 | johnjacobjinger: i think i only have the cups driver | 16:42 |
| jameslordhz | johnjacobjinger the problem still exists | 16:42 |
| oooaaaooo1 | johnjacobjinger: i can check the website, see if they have a non cups driver | 16:43 |
| Bunie | burning the disk using my terrible disk drive and my only CD-R | 16:43 |
| Bunie | wish me luck again xD | 16:43 |
| johnjacobjinger | oooaaaooo1: can u try from a PC and use the pc version | 16:43 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there, i've just installed Ubuntu 11.10, and it asked me to install some drivers for the gfx card I think. That failed, and I rebooted, and basically ive logged in, and its come to a screen with just File, Edit, View, Go, Bookmarks etc, no menus and so forth. Any ideas please? | 16:43 |
| jameslordhz | oooaaaooo1 hi | 16:43 |
| johnjacobjinger | just trying to see if the printer is messed up | 16:43 |
| oooaaaooo1 | johnjacobjinger: you mean a windows machine? | 16:44 |
| johnjacobjinger | yes oooaaaooo1 | 16:44 |
| johnjacobjinger | set up a direct connection and try printing | 16:45 |
| johnjacobjinger | see if that works | 16:45 |
| oooaaaooo1 | johnjacobjinger: like a usb connection | 16:45 |
| johnjacobjinger | no direct tcp/ip | 16:45 |
| louder | hi everybody | 16:45 |
| oooaaaooo1 | johnjacobjinger: ok well ill go try it | 16:46 |
| oooaaaooo1 | johnjacobjinger: brb | 16:46 |
| louder | is there a way to set a wider screen resolution?? currently the appearance settings only offers 1024x600 | 16:46 |
| johnjacobjinger | oooaaaooo1: does this only happen with larger than like 200k documents? | 16:46 |
| oooaaaooo1 | johnjacobjinger: seems like it | 16:46 |
| jameslordhz | oh, hell | 16:46 |
| Skribe | has anyone ever had an issue connecting to xrdc after running x11vnc server? | 16:47 |
| oooaaaooo1 | johnjacobjinger: alright brb | 16:47 |
| luxius | louder, should be possible to set up a resolution that both gfx card and monitor supports. | 16:48 |
| luxius | louder, so I am guessing either your monitor or gfx driver isn't up to date? | 16:48 |
| BreoganBard | does anyone could help me... how to disable guest session on ubuntu 10.04 ? | 16:48 |
| louder | luxius: how can i check the gfx driver | 16:48 |
| luxius | BreoganBard, http://hmontoliu.blogspot.com/2011/10/disable-guest-sesson-in-ubuntu-1110.html | 16:48 |
| BreoganBard | luxius: thank you | 16:49 |
| Skribe | has anyone ever had an issue connecting to xrdc after running x11vnc server? | 16:49 |
| llutz | BreoganBard: sudo apt-get purge gdm-guest-session | 16:50 |
| Calinou | louder: install propretary drivers | 16:50 |
| louder | graphic card is Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller | 16:50 |
| bilegt | My ubuntu frequently loses internet connection over wifi | 16:50 |
| Calinou | ^ integrated | 16:50 |
| luxius | louder, in a terminal (CLI) try 'lshw' (list hardware) | 16:50 |
| Calinou | you can't go far with integrated graphic cards | 16:50 |
| Calinou | bilegt: what adapter are you using, if any | 16:50 |
| Calinou | also, do you really need to use wifi? | 16:51 |
| BreoganBard | llutz: thank you too | 16:51 |
| Xabster | Can I tell Ubuntu 11.10 to disconnect from the wireless when there's a wired connection? .. And still auto-connect like normal | 16:51 |
| bilegt | disabling ipv6 will solve it ?? | 16:51 |
| louder | do i get the same output with lspci?? | 16:51 |
| Calinou | IPv6 still isn't finished | 16:52 |
| Calinou | don't expect it to be stable | 16:52 |
| === recon69_lap is now known as recon_lap | ||
| johnjacobjinger | ipv6 is obsolete anywas | 16:52 |
| luxius | well, I don't believe the IPv6 is causing WiFi to studder | 16:52 |
| johnjacobjinger | ;-) | 16:52 |
| luxius | it's because WiFi studders | 16:52 |
| luxius | either the adapter or the connection point is having overflow and restarts | 16:52 |
| MonkeyDust | wifi is less stable than ethernet | 16:52 |
| luxius | bilegt, try with a cable, if that solves the problem you have found the cause | 16:53 |
| Skribe | has anyone ever had an issue connecting to xrdc? | 16:53 |
| bilegt | Calinou: yeah, my brother and I share our internet via wifi | 16:53 |
| bilegt | Calinou: Virtual Wifi hotspot | 16:53 |
| luxius | louder, lspci does "list pci", so no =) | 16:53 |
| MonkeyDust | !info xrdc | 16:53 |
| Calinou | HOTSPOT, lol | 16:53 |
| ubottu | Package xrdc does not exist in oneiric | 16:53 |
| Calinou | MonkeyDust: that's normal | 16:54 |
| Skribe | im using ubu 10.04 | 16:54 |
| Skribe | have an issue connecting to my target machine after running x11vnc | 16:54 |
| Skribe | after a reboot, xrdc works fine | 16:54 |
| Skribe | and stops working as soon as i run x11 | 16:54 |
| MonkeyDust | Calinou i know it's normal | 16:55 |
| MonkeyDust | but other people seem to take wifi for granted | 16:55 |
| luxius | wifi is good for semi-stable areas, like the bus or the train. At home only CAT-5+ works -.- | 16:57 |
| louder | luxius: under category display, using lshw the device product is Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller | 16:57 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there, i've just installed Ubuntu 11.10, and it asked me to install some drivers for the gfx card I think. That failed, and I rebooted, and basically ive logged in, and its come to a screen with just File, Edit, View, Go, Bookmarks etc, no menus and so forth. Any ideas please? | 16:57 |
| Bunie | Disk ruined =/ | 16:57 |
| Bunie | "Error writing data" | 16:58 |
| Bunie | i guess no ubuntu for me :D | 16:58 |
| ikonia | oh dear | 16:58 |
| luxius | louder, it should tell you which driver it uses | 16:58 |
| Bunie | sucks, i really wanted to try it lol | 16:58 |
| ikonia | Bunie: unlucky | 16:58 |
| luxius | louder, from there you go forum hunting for more info, which driver should you use, etc =) | 16:58 |
| Bunie | any other way to install ubuntu? witchcraft? | 16:58 |
| Bunie | lol =/ | 16:58 |
| ikonia | Bunie: nope | 16:58 |
| luxius | Bunie, did you try 2x speed? | 16:59 |
| Bunie | my minimum was 4x speed, wich i used | 16:59 |
| johnjacobjinger | Bunie what about USB? | 16:59 |
| luxius | some medias are crappy and need min speed | 16:59 |
| luxius | like the ones I'm using, Princo >_< | 16:59 |
| Bunie | johnjacobjinger: Tried it first. says "Boot Error" | 16:59 |
| Bunie | the usb boots fine on my other computer | 16:59 |
| johnjacobjinger | Bunie: does the machine support booting from USB? | 16:59 |
| johnjacobjinger | oh interesting | 16:59 |
| johnjacobjinger | what kind of machine? | 16:59 |
| Bunie | johnjacobjinger: i installed win7 thru usb yesterday | 16:59 |
| Bunie | ancient emachines | 17:00 |
| luxius | Bunie, my gf even has a portable HDD that can act as a USB boot device. You wouldn't happen to have one of those? ^^ | 17:00 |
| Bunie | I do, but i cant format it, and its encrypted with truecrypt | 17:00 |
| johnjacobjinger | Bunie u could in theory try to net install it but it isnt easy | 17:00 |
| luxius | nvm then :P | 17:00 |
| Bunie | any way to like | 17:00 |
| Bunie | use wubi to install the installer? | 17:01 |
| Bunie | and then from in wubi install? XD | 17:01 |
| ikonia | wubi only does a wubi install | 17:01 |
| luxius | Bunie, no | 17:01 |
| luxius | Bunie, you need "root access" to the MBR and other stuff to install a new OS | 17:01 |
| louder | luxius, found the driver, but i guess if the card is compatible the propietary driver should be on the official repos, therefore the device will be upgraded automatically?? | 17:01 |
| Bunie | okay so how about | 17:01 |
| Bunie | my cd didnt burn properly. but if it boots, can i do the command thingy to install from my usb? | 17:02 |
| luxius | loucal, no. Proprietary drivers are often copyrighted, which makes it a no-go for Debian. | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Bunie: no | 17:02 |
| Bunie | why not D: | 17:02 |
| luxius | sorry, louder | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Bunie: because you can't | 17:02 |
| Bunie | linux is supposed to be able to do things. | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Bunie: it is | 17:02 |
| Bunie | i cant use the CD as a boot method for the USB? | 17:02 |
| jameslordhz | johnjacobjinger dude, x11vnc works well | 17:02 |
| Bunie | dont ppl actually do that regularly? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Bunie: but you can't just make things up say "it should be able to do that because it's linux" | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Bunie: no. | 17:02 |
| louder | driver=i915 | 17:02 |
| luxius | Bunie - you can | 17:02 |
| Bunie | i know ppl used to use floppy disks to boot from usb drives | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Bunie: the install CD is not boot media, it's a full desktop system that needs to uncompress it's self into specific locations | 17:02 |
| louder | luxius driver=i915 | 17:03 |
| jameslordhz | johnjacobjinger vncserver cannot show the head bar:( | 17:03 |
| luxius | Bunie - if you can boot the CD and edit the scripts to use the USB as repository | 17:03 |
| Bunie | the cd failed burning about 80% in | 17:03 |
| Bunie | >3< | 17:03 |
| Bunie | 88% | 17:03 |
| johnjacobjinger | jameslordhz: yea i guess i'm out of ideas... i can only think it's an issue with the generic graphics driver vnc uses | 17:03 |
| ikonia | luxius: how are you going to edit the sripts on a read only media that's corrupt ? | 17:03 |
| luxius | louder, sorry, I don't know anything about on-board gfx chips, and less about intel gfx xD | 17:03 |
| nstridesout | Guys, i upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and my system became slow. what can i do? | 17:03 |
| luxius | ikonia, you aren't - I was thinking about editing the scripts before you burn them ;) | 17:04 |
| ikonia | luxius: how are you going to use the usb stick as a repository when the repo software are in squash fs format and will need decompressing | 17:04 |
| LiNuX`sup | ok so I completely failed at trying to get gnome3 working. I tried a new account. I uninstalled unity/gnome/compiz then installed gnome fresh and I still can't load gnome3... gnome classic works fine and the popups seems to be gnome3 looking, but I can't get the ui | 17:04 |
| jameslordhz | johnjacobjinger why x11vnc works well then? | 17:04 |
| _Marcus | nstridesout: It just became slow? | 17:04 |
| luxius | ikonia, okay, you win - I know too little about the builds xD | 17:04 |
| Bunie | any chance ill get to a live desktop with 88% burned? | 17:04 |
| luxius | Bunie, listen to ikoinia :P | 17:04 |
| ikonia | Bunie: no | 17:04 |
| nstridesout | _marcus: the loading is really slow | 17:04 |
| ikonia | Bunie: and even if you did, it would so you no good | 17:04 |
| _Marcus | nstridesout: I am not familiar with 11.04. Does it not have Unity? | 17:04 |
| nstridesout | _Marcu:the booting process i mean | 17:05 |
| johnjacobjinger | not sure jameslordhz | 17:05 |
| jameslordhz | johnjacobjinger newbie, go home:) | 17:05 |
| _Marcus | nstridesout: Oh. I have no idea then. Disable some things that load at startup? | 17:05 |
| johnjacobjinger | ummm excuse me? | 17:05 |
| luxius | ikonia, isn't there a mini dist he can try burning and then upgrade with apt-get? | 17:05 |
| louder | what's the gfx? sorry newish on this kind of issues | 17:05 |
| Bunie | Last crazy idea. any way i can create a fat32 partition on my hdd, copy the CD contents to it, and apply a boot sector? | 17:05 |
| luxius | louder, graphics | 17:05 |
| jameslordhz | i am kidding , dude:) | 17:05 |
| ikonia | luxius: no, there is a net installer but if he a.) can't burn a CD b.) will need to setup a full net install process | 17:06 |
| ikonia | Bunie: no | 17:06 |
| johnjacobjinger | Bunie: if you can boot from a gparted disk sure | 17:06 |
| nstridesout | anybody upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10? My system's boot process is slower!!! help | 17:06 |
| louder | but the intel graphic cards are compatible, arent they? | 17:06 |
| ikonia | johnjacobjinger: sorry, no he can't | 17:06 |
| luxius | louder, yes | 17:06 |
| johnjacobjinger | bunie u could take the HD oout of the machine connect it to a USB adapter to make it external then boot from gparted on another cd | 17:07 |
| ikonia | johnjacobjinger: and how would he do the install from there ? | 17:07 |
| luxius | louder, I just don't know which you should use. In my case it's Radeon 300 (9500 Pro), and it has a FREE linux driver installed. I can install the ATI driver on top, if I sign the copyright agreement, to get more juice out of the card. As is I don't need wild 3D, so I don't care. | 17:07 |
| Dynamit | It was a long time ago i upgraded from 11.04-11.10 so i can't remember if i my boot was slower after the upgrade sorry nstridesout | 17:07 |
| louder | luxius, the issue is that im currently using a different screen resolution than the native one (1024x600) and can only use 4/5 parts of the screen with the mouse | 17:08 |
| Bunie | There has to be a way for me to get ubuntu =[ | 17:08 |
| nstridesout | Dynamit:what're u using now? | 17:08 |
| ikonia | Bunie: yes, use the official/supported/documented methods | 17:08 |
| luxius | louder, and you can't change it in display settings in the control panel? | 17:08 |
| Bunie | some kind of wubi witchcraft =/ | 17:08 |
| ikonia | Bunie: no | 17:08 |
| Bunie | install to wubi, use gparted | 17:08 |
| Bunie | idk ._. | 17:08 |
| ikonia | Nisstyre: no | 17:08 |
| ikonia | oops | 17:09 |
| ikonia | Bunie: no | 17:09 |
| Bunie | lolz | 17:09 |
| Bunie | im using a diff pen drive maker. the one listed on the ubuntu downloads page | 17:09 |
| Bunie | tho the other one worked on my other pc so i dont see how it will help | 17:09 |
| louder | luxius, i changed it using a program - jupiter. 10.1 inches screen, it really widens the space with 1024x768 | 17:09 |
| Dynamit | nstridesout 11.10 but it was too long ago i upgraded from 11.04 | 17:10 |
| nstridesout | some help guys, my system is slower when booting after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 | 17:10 |
| johnjacobjinger | ikonia if he had a second machine could he not install using debootstrap? | 17:10 |
| louder | the program is called jupiter, and the screen is 10.1 inches | 17:10 |
| ikonia | johnjacobjinger: so have you checked any of this before making these suggestions, and keeping in mind this is a pretty over the top suggestion to do an install rather than "just burn the CD correctly" | 17:10 |
| luxius | louder, sorry, I don't know. Hope you find a fix, though =) | 17:10 |
| Dynamit | nstridesout do you have the latest Kernel and have loading the newest one? | 17:10 |
| johnjacobjinger | ikonia... i am asking a question... not offereing a suggestion | 17:10 |
| nstridesout | i think i do | 17:10 |
| johnjacobjinger | i asked if he could use the debootstrap method which is covered by the ubuntu docs | 17:11 |
| Bunie | ikonia: it failed 88% in, i had nothing to do with it. my CD drive sucks. | 17:11 |
| johnjacobjinger | to install without a CD | 17:11 |
| nstridesout | dynamit: i think i do b'se i am fully uptodate | 17:11 |
| Bunie | BUT MY OTHER PC HAD ONE! Too bad i dont have any more CD's | 17:11 |
| louder | luxius, thanx anyway | 17:11 |

| johnjacobjinger | zul0: hard to say what could cause the internet speed to test slower between OSes... maybe for some reason the speeds arent slower but speedtest is thinking it is | 17:53 |
| zykotick9 | mtrd`: do verify your ffmpeg supports maxis (i'm sure yours does) you can run "ffmpeg -formats | grep -i maxis" [i think the D on the left means its Decode only]. ^ try "ffmpeg -i 3KD1.XA -o test.mp3" | 17:53 |
| theadmin | Whiskey: To read command output in a bash script, use $(command) | 17:53 |
| zul0 | johnjacobjinger, maybe the cause is my driver? | 17:53 |

| ShooterMG | I seem to be having some kind of monitor/resolution problem. whenever I boot up ubuntu, I see my bios splash screen, but then it goes away and i get an "out of range" prompt on my monitor. I can still ssh into the box and run whatever I want, other than X of course | 19:32 |
| ShooterMG | how could i fix this? what tool might i be able to use? | 19:32 |

| johnjacobjinger | or wat ever they call it now | 19:33 |
| ShooterMG | i looked at xorg, and it was missing resolutions, so i added a few. but maybe the refresh rate is wrong | 19:33 |
| LiNuX`sup | export $DISPLAY=: 0 | 19:33 |
| auronandace | LiNuX`sup: its only "recommended" because 32bit works on both 32 and 64 | 19:33 |
| LiNuX`sup | auronandace: so I should have no issues with 64 if I have a 64bit cpu? | 19:34 |
| LiNuX`sup | compatibility wise? | 19:34 |
| auronandace | LiNuX`sup: not really, i've used 64bit for years, no issues here | 19:34 |

| zykotick9 | LiNuX`sup: using 32bit with less then 4GB will actually leave you with MORE available RAM. Unless your doing encoding, you probably won't get much benefit from 64bit. I'd suggest you use 32bit, or upgrade your RAM to >4GB. | 19:41 |

| Xabster | hmm | 20:09 |
| roasted | Xabster: maybe have my file server turn on at 5pm and run for 5 hours and shut off via cron, instead of running 247 when it'll never be utilized during the day or late at night | 20:10 |
| === companion is now known as Companion | ||
| Xabster | yeah, i get the idea | 20:10 |
| roasted | Xabster: I can do it with the bios, having the bios turn it on automatically and have cron shut it off, but I began to wonder if instead of powering it off if I can just suspend it... I'm not sure if the bios power-on trigger will wake up a suspended system, though. | 20:10 |

| Iceheart | I made a boot disk with a fresh copy of 11.10 on it | 20:15 |

| Iceheart | But the laptop wont boot to the disk | 20:15 |
| * JoeK slaps auronandace around a bit with a large trout | 20:15 | |
| Benkinooby | roasted, i'm not sure but i think i used that article to automatically wake up my system | 20:15 |
| Skribe | sounds like you didnt burn the image correctly | 20:15 |
| Iceheart | Would currently already having 11.10 cause the system not to boot to the disk with 11.10? | 20:16 |
| roasted | Benkinooby: my file system bios may support automatic turn on via bios, which if it does, I'm okay. I'm just googling for a plan B just in case. | 20:16 |
| roasted | Benkinooby: my parents file server I set up for them supports it, and it's aroun dthe same era computer (both are pentium dual cores) | 20:16 |
| Iceheart | The burn appears to be ok, I made it using the same process I made the original disk when I first installed linux 11.04 | 20:16 |
| Skribe | Ice: not likely. try to burn the image again | 20:16 |
| Benkinooby | roasted, ah, ok | 20:16 |
| Iceheart | It isn't just a copy of the ISO on the disk, it's an actual img burn. | 20:16 |
| vijaym | hello...How to decrease my screen brightness...i am using sony vaio laptop...brightness control option is not working :( ! | 20:16 |
| roasted | Benkinooby: that way I can have the file servers running during the time frame their backup software will run... so that way my parents arent paying the electric bill for a pc running 247 that is only utilized 1 hour a day | 20:16 |
| roasted | Benkinooby: granted, if its running idle, it may not eat a lot of power, but a little power is still more than no power. :P | 20:17 |
| lion42 | Iceheart, are you sure the laptop is set to boot from CD before HDD? | 20:17 |
| Iceheart | I've also set the bios to boot to disk, and even told the computer to temporarily boot to disk | 20:17 |
| lion42 | If the boot order is different, it will boot strait to HD. | 20:17 |
| Iceheart | Currently the hdd is at the bottom of the boot list. | 20:17 |
| === tensorpudding__ is now known as tensorpudding | ||

| lion42 | ...that was the next step I was going to recommend. | 20:18 |

| lion42 | Skribe, if he's done it before and is following the instructions... | 20:19 |
| Skribe | true | 20:19 |
| Skribe | never know | 20:19 |
| Iceheart | The image appears to mount correctly, when I open the disk it looks very similar to the image provided on ubuntus website | 20:19 |
| Skribe | start from the bottom ya know... | 20:19 |
| Xabster | roasted: http://blog.gulfsoft.com/2010/05/scheduled-wakeup-in-ubuntu.html | 20:20 |
| Xabster | maybe that helps | 20:20 |
| Iceheart | I've also put one of the disks into a different laptop and it tried to boot to the disk | 20:20 |
| Skribe | and? | 20:20 |
| Iceheart | Which it did try to but didn't fully boot, which I suspect is because of the laptop being an old crusty gateway | 20:20 |
| Iceheart | that half the keys don't work on. | 20:20 |
| Iceheart | The menu came up to boot to the disk it just didn't fully boot up | 20:21 |
| lion42 | Iceheart, what I would try at that point would be obtaining a USB stick and using that. | 20:21 |
| Iceheart | But this laptop won't even attempt to boot the disk | 20:21 |
| Skribe | that might be the issue right there. if you have an external dvd/cd burner, that would help with the install if the dvd/cd drive is dead | 20:21 |
| Iceheart | I don't have access to a 2gig usb stick which it recommends. | 20:21 |
| Skribe | agree with lion, bootable usb install is the best and fastest way to get er done | 20:22 |
| lion42 | I mean that I would buy one, if I didn't have one. | 20:22 |

| iceheart | yes | 20:41 |
| iceheart | Cd is the top boot priority | 20:41 |

| danileigh79 | zack-brennan: Don't get nasty with my, I'm trying to find out what is going on in order to help you out, if you can't dl and install on the machine itself, then you have to find it on the net, and transfer it over to the machine with USB | 20:51 |
| zack-brennan | @danileigh79 i | 20:51 |
| lion42 | vijaym, what model laptop do you have, and what version of ubuntu are you trying to use? | 20:52 |

| zack-brennan | where do i go to find it? i have the tar.gz, but i cant compile it. build-essential has other pre-reqs that i cant access | 20:53 |
| danileigh79 | zack-brennan: Ubuntu comes with native wired network card support, if your laptop wired connection is not working, then it's a fair bet that you have one of the few cards that aren't natively supported, in which case you need to determine the exact dl you need, and transfer it over to the ubuntu machine via USB | 20:53 |

| EDinNY | bilel, it would have to either be r/w for all or you would need to join the apache group and make it group r/w | 21:00 |
| johnjacobjinger | bilel: Yes... same way you set any permission | 21:00 |
| Braniac | bibel: i am not an expert but have you tried right click -> properties and in permissions add the "www-data" user??? | 21:00 |
| johnjacobjinger | no he can specify his user and another user EDinNY | 21:00 |
| johnjacobjinger | or his user and group rather | 21:00 |
| EDinNY | I said he joins the apache group | 21:01 |
| EDinNY | and makes the group apache | 21:01 |
| johnjacobjinger | he may not want to have wite access to everything www-data has... | 21:01 |
| bilel | so I should give permission to www-data for my folder and simply join the group of www-data? | 21:02 |
| FrozenKnight | How can I refresh the list of partitions? It seems not to recognize some of my older partitions | 21:02 |

| Xethron | I wish to setup a server that will dynamically control internet speed based on the amount of internet a user consumed relative to another. For example. If only one user is online, he gets 100% of the line speed. However, if two users are online, the one who consumed less internet should get preference as to allow him/her to "catch up". Does anyone know of software with the ability to do that? | 21:40 |

| hydrox24 | HelgeS: Are you using 11.10? | 22:29 |

| HelgeS | I'm using 11.10 on an old computer from2003. | 22:29 |
| emmanuel_ | mkquist: sorry for late reply. yes they were connected, in fact, some time I could view all partitions in both ubuntu 10.04 and 11.10 with gparted, but after some modifications in 10.04, the partitions are no longer visible with gparted in 11.10 | 22:30 |
| emmanuel_ | yet all partitions are still visible with fdisk in 11.10 | 22:30 |
| HelgeS | so an optional program is needed to create program starters, but not to remove them? I've removed a few... | 22:30 |
| emmanuel_ | they can also be mounted | 22:31 |
| Fyodorovna | HelgeS, you can't right click and create them anymore. | 22:31 |
| girishr | a packaging question: does apt look for packages.gz in binary-<arch>/ always? | 22:32 |

| hydrox24 | xavierspider: do you mean the installer on the desktop of your USB drive after it has been booted? Or your windows desktop? | 22:33 |
| emmanuel_ | besides, even though fdisk shows all partitions in 10.04 and 11.10, the display is not the same, in particular the number of cylinders differs, as well as the disk capacity | 22:33 |
| hydrox24 | savage2005: scribus should do it. | 22:33 |
| HelgeS | I see no correspondance between settings in alacarte, and the objects I have to the left on the screen. How can I change these objects? | 22:33 |
| hydrox24 | savage2005: A little bit more advanced and complex than publisher but is just as good, if not far better. | 22:34 |
| hydrox24 | HelgeS: You can click and drag the icon of an app into it or out of it. | 22:34 |

| mkquist | emmanuel_: can you mount the partitions at all? | 22:54 |
| mkquist | emmanuel_: the problem ones that is... | 22:54 |

| elijah | I just accidentally installed Klipper with apt-get, not realizing the K was for KDE, it is downloading 140+ MB of files. I later realized that Glipper was the Gnome version. If I do a apt-get remove will it remove everything it just installed? | 23:00 |
| mneptok | webnet: sudo -i is preferable to sudo su | 23:00 |
| lazarus_ | MultiverseDog: use that any time you want to delete files that are owned by root but be carefull | 23:00 |
| mneptok | elijah: apt-get purge | 23:01 |
| elijah | mneptok: thx | 23:01 |
| mneptok | elijah: then you may need apt-get autoremove | 23:01 |
| emmanuel_ | mkquist:the cfdisk error message may be linked to the fact that in 10.04 fdisk sees 160GB whereas in 11.10 it sees only 151GB, and the extended partition clearly extends beyonds 151GB | 23:01 |
| emmanuel_ | mkquist: also the number of cylinders displayed by fdisk is different | 23:02 |
| StepNjump | Am I the only one that is struggling with libre office or others also have problems? | 23:02 |
| lazarus_ | elijah: sudo apt-get remove name of package* (the * remove anything you installed with it i.e KDE stuff) | 23:03 |
| elijah | mneptok: I did both of those successfully and it said it only freed 528KB and 352 KB | 23:03 |
| gk2012 | StepNjump: No problem with Libre here... | 23:03 |
| gk2012 | StepNjump: Make sure open-java is installed | 23:04 |

| gk2012 | StepNjump: I'm really not sure what that's about, usually if I've ever had issues with libre-office it's related to Javan not being installed | 23:06 |
| elijah | lazarus_: This is what I ran and installed the first time - http://paste.ubuntu.com/882490/ | 23:07 |
| lazarus_ | elijah: try sudo apt-get autoremove | 23:09 |
| emmanuel_ | mkquist: thanks for your help so far, now I'll just try to destroy the extended partition in 10.04 and check whether I can see the disk again in gparted in 11.10 | 23:09 |
| emmanuel_ | bbl | 23:09 |
| elijah | basically it seems as if purge then autoremove already removed the info it needs to uninstall everything, and it didn't uninstall all the libraries, lazarus_ I did run auto remove already | 23:09 |
| mkquist | emmanuel_: reading up a bit, seems gparted sees disks size a little different then cfdisk or fdisk | 23:09 |

| elijah | iceroot: I want o removed the installed files and then later remove the deb files | 23:26 |
| === max is now known as Guest79890 | ||
| iceroot | elijah: to remove the deb files use "sudo apt-get clean" | 23:27 |

| elijah | iceroot: I want to keep those until I resolve the installed files issue first | 23:27 |
| emmanuel06160 | mkquist: the extended partition finished at the end of the disk in 11.10, but back in 10.04 gparted displays some unused space after the extended partition | 23:27 |
| gk2012 | I have no video when attempting to run from the live DVD, the OS loads fine, login sounds are able to be heard etc.. just no Video, blank-screen issue.

| elijah | what is weird is that my sudo command is not found now | 23:27 |
| mkquist | emmanuel06160: did you use gparted or fdisk? | 23:27 |
| emmanuel06160 | mkquist: I used gparted | 23:27 |
| escott | MultiverseDog, gksu into nautilus and empty the trash folder | 23:27 |
| callen | ...no. | 23:28 |
| elijah | could something that was installed with klipper have removed my sudo? | 23:28 |
| callen | iceroot: so why is it accessible to the server locally even though it says it's listening to all IPs? | 23:28 |
| emmanuel06160 | mkquist: all is consistent with the fact that the disk appears to have different capacity in gparted (and fdisk) 10.04 and 11.10 | 23:28 |
| mkquist | emmanuel06160: yeah, apparently it can also depend on how the h/d calls itself out to the o/s i guess | 23:28 |
| callen | or rather, why isn't it working externally? | 23:28 |
| pillboxing | so guys how can I mount a samba share in fstab? I can't find the correct syntax for fstab file | 23:28 |
| iceroot | callen: good question, i dont know, sorry | 23:28 |
| mkquist | emmanuel06160: gparted is different in each version of ubuntu? | 23:28 |
| escott | gk2012, does ctrl-alt-f1 take you to a text console | 23:28 |
| mkquist | emmanuel06160: or fdisk is different than gparted? | 23:29 |
| elijah | nevermind the sudo thing, I am a noob, I was trying to use sudo with cp | 23:29 |
| emmanuel06160 | mkquist: fdisk gives different results in 10.04 and 11.10 | 23:29 |
| escott | emmanuel06160, and its not a gpt issue? | 23:29 |
| mkquist | emmanuel06160: interesting.. | 23:29 |
| emmanuel06160 | mkquist: gparted also gives different results | 23:29 |
| iceroot | elijah: use /usr/bin/sudo that should work | 23:29 |
| mkquist | emmanuel06160: go figure... | 23:30 |
| gk2012 | escott: no it does not... I'm only able to drop down into command line when using specific boot options, ie nomodeset, acpi=disabled etc.. | 23:30 |
| emmanuel06160 | mkquist: they both see the disk as 150GB in 11.10 and as 160GB in 10/04 | 23:30 |
| lazarus_ | elijah: have you manged to fix all the issues you've had | 23:30 |
| pillboxing | also: does anyone know why when I add a network share to places in kde that I don't see them in the open files menu in sublime text 2? | 23:30 |
| iceroot | emmanuel06160: maybe GB and GiB? | 23:30 |
| emmanuel06160 | mkquist: so it I make a partition in 10.04 that goes beyond 150GB, then back in 11.10 garted refuses to work | 23:30 |
| gk2012 | escott: I've been searching on google since yesterday evening and no real solution as of yet.. | 23:30 |
| escott | emmanuel06160, sounds like GB vs GiB | 23:31 |
| emmanuel06160 | iceroot: could have been, but the size in bytes in given too, so it doesn't appear to be the issue | 23:31 |
| pillboxing | guys :P, I need some halp cos I r linux nab | 23:31 |
| emmanuel06160 | one is 160041885696 bytes, the other is 151158502400 | 23:31 |
| emmanuel06160 | also the number of cylinders displayed by fdisk is different | 23:32 |
| gk2012 | escott: it seems to be an issue with the newer ATi Radeon cards, though I've had no success at resolving the issue... my main goal is just to be able to run from the live media, I don't need a hard-disk install | 23:32 |
| pillboxing | how do I mount an smb share to a folder? I tried sudo mount -t //IP/Share /media/LS guest | 23:33 |
| pillboxing | but that does nawt work :( | 23:33 |
| escott | gk2012, im not sure what to suggest. if your goal is the livecd its going to be hard to even put in any kind of hack to make it work | 23:33 |
| escott | !cifs | pillboxing | 23:33 |
| pillboxing | oh yeah | 23:33 |
| pillboxing | I had cifs in there somewhere too | 23:34 |

| pillboxing | sudo mount -t //192.168.1.149/Scripts /media/LS cifs guest | 23:35 |
| emmanuel06160 | mkquist: so at this point I'm content that gparted can see the partitions again in 11.10, but 10GB of disk space are wasted and I still don't know if it's gparted in 10.04 that messed up some thing (or something else I did) or if it's gparted in 11.10 that is buggy | 23:36 |
| pillboxing | sudo mount -t //192.168.1.149/Scripts /media/LS cifs guest doesn't work :( | 23:36 |

| Rourick | ok | 23:49 |
| DJ | gk2012, since you want to play with Linux, my advise for you, is for you to Read about it, | 23:49 |
| gk2012 | DJ: I've been playing with it since I was 12, Im 26 | 23:50 |
| elijah | lazarus_: Actually I got sidetracked with figuring out how to pipe output from the find command into xclip so I could post the file name since nautilus wouldn't let me edit the filename so I could copy paste it here. I figured it out how to pipe the filename directly to clipboard (xclip) and now have a new trick. | 23:50 |
| gk2012 | DJ: what reading material do you have to offer, please share ? | 23:50 |
| DJ | http://askubuntu.com/questions/67065/system-doesnt-boot-after-amd-11-9-driver-install | 23:50 |
| gk2012 | DJ: thank you | 23:50 |
| Rourick | no proprietary drivers on system? | 23:50 |
| starn | does ubuntu have tools to check if a disk is dying? preferably the disk it's installed onto? | 23:50 |
| DJ | !next | 23:51 |
| Rourick | in use* | 23:51 |
| escott | gk2012, to do this with a livecd you would have to loop mount the squashfs casper image and modify it and then reburn the cd. it could be a rather daunting undertaking. there is a usb creator tool that has a persistence option but you might also try unetbootin | 23:52 |
| gk2012 | DJ: :p for finding that entry... been looking for something like it since yesterday evening! | 23:52 |
| escott | starn, the disk utilty as well as the command line smartctl will give smart status information | 23:52 |
| gk2012 | escott: thanks as well, will seek to look into them option also if need be... | 23:52 |
| starn | escott: could a EXT4 partition make the bio's smart test detect fake errors? | 23:53 |
| escott | starn, it should not, the bios shouldn't be reading the disk but merely querying the values in the smart tables of the disk firmware | 23:54 |
| Praxi | is iptables on by default in ubuntu server 11.10? | 23:55 |
| EvilResistance | Praxi, its usually installed, but inactive until you configure it | 23:55 |
| elijah | lazarus_: and iceroot - I have one deb that was downloaded with klipper (/var/cache/apt/archives/qt4-doc_4%3a4.7.4-0ubuntu8.1_all.deb ), it is taking up nearly 100MB of the data. By following the instructions for removing Kubuntu from Ubuntu I don't see where it will remove that documentation. Will it? | 23:55 |
| Praxi | k thanks EvilResistance , just ran a disable to it, but wasn't sure what its default state was | 23:55 |
| EvilResistance | Praxi, if you didnt configure it, its default state is set to ALLOW | 23:56 |
| Praxi | trying to use mysql workbench on a install a LAMP install | 23:56 |
| Praxi | keeps giving me not allowed so trying to figure out where my problem is :) | 23:56 |
| EvilResistance | Praxi, by default, MySQL doesnt listen to the internet | 23:56 |
| EvilResistance | its set to be local-only | 23:56 |
| Praxi | ya I changed it to its IP in the .conf | 23:56 |
| Praxi | then restarted mysql | 23:56 |
| elijah | unless maybe (/var/cache/apt/archives/qt4-doc_4%3a4.7.4-0ubuntu8.1_all.deb) is actually kubuntu-docs? | 23:56 |
| starn | escott: i'm using the commandline tool but it doesn't appear to want to scan the disk | 23:57 |
